I would be leary. There are plenty of legit sources and sometimes spending some extra money is worth it.

They are very trust worthy and excellent all around. I've been happy every time I've ordered from them. I just ordered from them again this week and received my order 3 days from the time of ordering it and it was 2x cheap as everywhere else. Very reasonable shipping charges as well. Their selection is also superb, IMO.
I figured most people on this forum would already know grabagun.com is one of the best gear sites out there. My favorites = grabagun.com and aimsurplus.com
Highly recommended and no I do not work for them in any way, shape, or form!!

Thanks for the responses thus far, from everything I can find people have had good experiences with them and their service, and their prices for firearms (Pmc ammo aside) seem to be very reasonable i.e. scar 16 fde for $2273. Just trying to see if they are legit or not
Don't take my word for it, check em out yourself
Resellerratings.com is a very useful site.
Check this out:
Rated a 9.97 out of 10 by over 100 customers. It's "legit", probably moreso than half the sites that are used everyday by everyone here !
In regards to the SCAR, we sell them for $2200!

I kind of wish they actually put decent descriptions under thier firearms instead of the name and model number. i hate having to copy that into google and researching that stuff on a different site. they seem proud of the credit card fee thing, is that because of buds gunshop?
I actually can't remember the last time I've order from somewhere that has charged a credit card fee. SKD Tactical, G&R Tactical, Bravo Company, DSG Arms, Palmetto State, Specialized Armament, Noveske, Battle Arms Development, Gear Sector, Sprinco, Special Operations Tecnology, Crye Precision, Blackhawk, Mil-Spec Monkey, and Emdom USA just to name a few...

I was talking about ordering firearms, not accessories. Ive purchased from buds, clyde armory, and centerfire systems and they all charge CC fees. The only places Ive bought guns from that didnt charge were cdnn and omb express.
Cosidering grabagun is usually the cheapest place to buy a gun your looking for and they dont charge cc fees, and they have consistent positive reviews, I wouldnt regret purchasing from them.
As far as the credit card thing goes...i have never used a website that charges extra for credit cards...then again, i have yet to purchase a gun over the internet. the only time i have seen someone charge extra for a credit card purchase is at the local gun show.
ETA: CTD is terrible from my experiences. Dropshipping means they also do not have any idea of what they actually have in stock. I've ordered from them, received a confirmation, and then received an email a week later stating things were on backorder. No more business with them!

I always see them pop up in my google searches, but never trusted them.
The website looked odd and they always had firearms that no one else had.
Glad to hear they are legit.

Standing nearly 6 feet tall and weighing just 120 pounds, Portage junior Dylan Logsdon looks like he belongs on a basketball court more than a wrestling mat.
"He still hasn't won a weigh-in," Portage assistant coach Eric Keith joked about Logsdon's skinny frame.
But there's more than one way to win a match, and Keith would know. He won a state title at Portage and wrestled for Michigan State with a similar body build.
"It's the leverage part that people don't understand," Keith said. "It's very difficult to be under a guy who knows how to use leverage. Dylan's all arms and legs. He's like an anaconda snake. He wraps around you a couple times; it's over."
After choosing wrestling over hoops as a freshman, Logsdon saw the varsity mat on a limited basis last year. He sprouted about 4 inches in the offseason, gaining little weight thanks to a strict diet and running regimen of 60 miles a week. The progress has been dramatic.
"Dylan's improved a ton," Portage coach Leroy Vega said. "One thing he does real well is make his opponent wrestle his style, make them adjust to him. He's a lot different than any other guy we have. It's not too often I work with a guy who can cradle anyone. It's real exciting to have a guy you know can get a pin at any moment.
"Wrestling with him makes me feel very uncomfortable. People don't like to be on bottom against him."
Logsdon showed that at Saturday's LaPorte Sectional, pinning John Glenn's Myles White in the finals with a second-period cradle.
"I've got a longer reach, so I can stay farther back, watch shots come," Logsdon said. "I feel like I can slow everything down and work my moves. (Keith) teaches me how to look for different angles, different ways to set up cradles. There are many places I can hit them from."
Opponents know that. The scouting report is out on Logsdon. Even if foes are aware of what's coming, sometimes they can't stop it.
"He gets (the cradle) so tight, when he gets it locked, it's over," Vega said. "We're working on his defense, his takedowns. It's great to have a guy like Eric to wrestle with Dylan. I maybe cradled two guys in my life, if that. He's made him better."
Also a cross country runner, Logsdon finds a parallel between that sport and wrestling that goes beyond the obvious conditioning factor.
"It's mostly mental," he said. "Part of you says to give up, but you have to keep going. I don't like to stop."
Logsdon takes a 24-9 mark into tonight's Portage Team Regional. The Crown Point Individual Regional is Saturday.
"Once we got into the postseason, I've been training harder," he said. "(My goals) are higher. I've felt like I can do it, that I can take everyone on."
Given the strides Logsdon has made in one season, Keith is already anxious to see what he can do next year.
"He hasn't lost a match where he's gotten a single takedown, so we're trying to find ways to maximize what he can do on his feet," Keith said. "Once he gets on top, it's another ball game. I can't wait to have another summer with him to add more and more to his game. By the time it's all said and done, I think he can be as good as anybody in the state on top."

Join SpongeBob SquarePants and his underwater friends on a rollicking adventure in Bikini Bottom this spring with SpongeBob SquarePants 4-D – The Great Jelly Rescue attraction, coming to National Aquarium's 4-D Immersion Theater from March 1, 2014 through November 13, 2014.
The Senior Thesis Exhibition showcases the work of Jane Aviv Brenner, Erin Bucklew, Morgan Welch and Alix Lindley, four senior artists graduating from the art department. The work ranges in variety of technique, subject and medium but all were designed to tell the story of each artist.
Morgan Welch's landscape paintings challenge how viewers normally look at nature. Welch pushes for vivid fields of color using thick application of paint rather than detail. Those aspects are what give the painting their beautiful abstract qualities. Welch says that, "I hope the audience will engage in the beauty rather than the reality." In her portraits, Welch focuses on the fluidity of paint, color, contrast, and realism. Her use of bright colors is apparent as she highlights the importance of each subject.
Jane Aviv Brenner's watercolors are an exploration of her own emotions through the portraits of others. Each colorful and highly saturated piece documents and reflects not only a moment in time, but a sentiment. Brenner uses her watercolors as a remedy, expressing herself freely in subject, texture, and color.
Erin Bucklew's drawings are composed of small lines that make a complex image. One of the subjects is a dreamscape. This is made up of contour lines woven into a complex landscape. The other subject is animals, the marks imitate the fur of the animal. She mainly concentrates on the texture and color of the image.
Alix Lindley's photography is an investigation of personal relationships. Through her intimate and delicate photographs she explores the complex didactic nature of human interaction. By using self-portraiture she is able to blend the photographic process with the emotional experience of the subject.
The Senior Thesis Exhibition highlights the astounding work of these dedicated students preparing to graduate from Notre Dame of Maryland University with their B.A.s in studio art and progressing into the world as artists.

The NIGHTHUNTER shown is in 429 GNR and has a 6 inch heavy duty barrel, a long, super strong 5 shot cylinder, all new internals, interchangeable blade system front sight with gold bead, set back trigger, Gunfighter Grip with satin black Micarta grips, full performance package that includes Maxi Throat, Deep Dish crown and action job. The entire gun is satin Vapor Honed with contrasting satin stainless parts. The new NIGHTHUNTER comes sighted in a ready to go. It is the normal $1395 on your base gun.
For those of you that aren't familiar with Gary Reeder Custom Guns, you've got to check his site.
Gary takes your base gun (the Ruger SA you send him) and rebuilds it to an outrageous piece of machinery.
From what I've heard, he replaces damned near everything to the point that the only original part of your handgun is the part that has the serial number on it.
All of the prices I've seen are between $1100 and $1400 (you supply the base gun) with only a 3-4 month turnaround.
What is really outstanding about this artist is that recently he's reduced his prices due to the faltering economy. How many other custom smiths have you heard of doing that?
For more examples of his work go to:
My dream gun is the one above in 41 GNR shooting a 265 grain bulet at 1800 fps. Maybe someday.......

XM Radio, the very first satellite radio company in North America, is still the leading radio network offering hundreds of music, news, and talk stations. Rather than applying to be a paying subscriber of the company, you're better off exploring several ways on how to get free XM Radio and be able to enjoy its music services without spending your money.
The music services of XM Radio can be accessed either from online resources, right from the company's website, or from radio retailers. The service has expanded its coverage to the extent that it can now be accessed and listened to, not just on your computer at home, but also within the comfort of your vehicle. Here are a few steps you can try to enjoy the music of XM Radio.
Access it online for free. Log into the company's official site at xmradio.com, and then look for the "Listen Online Now" tab in the upper right area of the web page. Click on the tab to get to your log-in page. If you have already logged-in, you can go directly to the site's listening page.
In the text box that appears on the page, provide the log-in information required, your email address, and the corresponding password. Click on the "Continue" button. As non-paying subscriber, you can enjoy and listen to the company's music by simply proceeding to the "register now for a free trial" link, and then complete the registration information. On the other hand, if you have already subscribed but have no online account yet, click the "activate my account" button.
Once you are completely logged-in, you are now free to choose any XM Radio station you like from the list provided. To ensure relaxing moments with the station, check that the speakers are properly plugged in.
Activate it in your GM-OEM car radio. Some General Motors (GM) units are provided with Original Equipment Manufacturer XM Radio systems. With this feature, when you purchase a vehicle outfitted with XM Satellite Radio, GM and XM have agreed to provide a 3-month free XM Radio trial. To activate it, you can ask the car dealer to do it for you or you may to do it yourself.
First, on your radio unit press either the "XM" or "Band" button so you can effectively switch to the XM satellite tuner. Turn the dial to channel zero, and copy your 8-digit ID Code numbers as displayed. Then call (877) 209-5079 to reach the XM Listener Care Center, and inform the representative of your wish to activate your free XM subscription on your GM vehicle. You will likely have to provide the ID Code numbers you copied earlier.
At this time, you will have to wait for the representative's instructions to refresh your radio. When so advised, scan the radio for the available sample channels. If you are able to scan only a number of channels, then you should refresh again. To help you with this, log on to refresh.xmradio.com, enter your 8-digit ID Code numbers, and click the "Submit" button.
Listen to it in your car radio. Even if your vehicle is non-GM, you can still enjoy listening to XM Radio by simply subscribing into the company's free trial offer of service. Of course, you must have a good satellite receiver. You can buy one at Target or Wal-Mart. Look at the back of the satellite and copy the code number printed there.
Visit the satellite receiver company's website and choose the 30 day free-trial option on the activation page. Enter your telephone number and email address as required. Don't forget to create your own password so that you can successfully access your account online. At this time, enter the code number you earlier copied and "Submit" it.
Wait for a few hours for the processing to be completed. Place the satellite radio in your vehicle and turn it on. Enjoy listening to XM Radio until your free trial period expires.
Figure out which of the items above on how to get free XM radio is applicable to you. You can go back to the company's website and check for more promotional events. Once you are satisfied with the services of XM Radio, you might consider registering as regular subscriber.

An investigation into problems with the quality of flight-data recorder information has led the NTSB to recommend modifications to FDR processing systems on several regional jet models and to ask the FAA to survey all aircraft models with FDRs to ensure that all required information is being processed.
Aviation International News » June 2003
Dassault Falcon Jet broke ground on May 27 for a larger and technically enhanced paint shop at its completion center in Little Rock, Ark., Dassault Aviation's largest facility outside France. The $8 million, 46,000-sq-ft facility will be used primarily for the new 5,700-nm Falcon 7X.
Fokker Services has launched a program, supported by key suppliers, to remarket and maintain used Fokker 50 twin turboprops. The "Future 50" program, similar to the Future 100 program initiated last February for the Fokker 100 twinjet, will guarantee service, spares and support for at least 10 years in a tailored "total care" package for a fixed hourly fee.
Duncan Aviation expects by the first quarter of next year to receive group STC for RVSM in the Gulfstream II. The avionics package will consist of dual IS&S air-data computers, dual IS&S altimeters and interface units. Duncan's goal is to keep the installed price below $200,000. Installations would be available from Duncan facilities in Battle Creek, Mich.; Lincoln, Neb.; Van Nuys, Calif.; and Teterboro, N.J.
The Sino Swearingen SJ30-2 that crashed on April 26 was not equipped with a spin recovery chute, nor was it required to be. In addition, to date there are no reports that use of such a chute would have changed the outcome of the accident, in which the pilot was killed. The FAA requires chutes on aircraft during some certification flight tests, but the accident occurred during a company flight test.
As the curtains fell on the third edition of EBACE (the European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition) in Geneva last month, the organizers could feel confident that the strong support for the event in this most difficult of years and most challenging of futures for aviation bodes well for its stature as a significant fixture in the world aerospace calendar.
Next month's scheduled adoption of the final fractional operation rules–Part 91 Subpart K–will likely reignite the controversy between the FAA, JAA and some European countries on what constitutes a private versus commercial aircraft operation. The JAA has no equivalent rule and doesn't have plans to promulgate any, according to British aviation lawyer Ian Clark.
The Sino Swearingen SJ30-2 that crashed in a remote area of Texas on the morning of April 26 was on the second in a series of flights to complete flutter certification before it suddenly rolled and went into an uncontrolled descent into the ground. Company test pilot Carroll Beeler, 59, was killed in the accident. No one else was aboard.
And you thought the dot.com bubble-burst was bad.

This minimalist Piggy Bank is created by Selma Durand during her Master thesis of Industrial Design in ENSCI-Les Ateliers, Paris. Durand wanted to focus on the everyday situation where people collect pocket change without being aware of its value. In fact they usually put it in a pin tray where it stays untouched. Especially the cent coins are undervalued and one can use Piggy Bank to collect those. Piggy Bank, made of a ceramic outer container and a brass inner container, uses a clever hidden mechanism to weigh the pocket change as coins are stacking. Both containers level when the value of the coins is approximately 1 euro. I chose to focus on 1 euro because it is a standard unit which also corresponds to the price of a baguette, a coffee or a stamp. Being one stashing my pocket change in an old box, where it stays untouched, I really like the thought behind this minimalist piggy bank. Love the combination of materials too.
Niels-Peter Foppen
The details make the difference.
Gridy Me mirror
To inspire their audience with new ideas and materials, Menu collaborated with some of the worlds most talented designers. The Gridy Me mirror was designed by the Oslo based design studio Gridy by Lars Olav Dybdal and Wilhelm Grieg Teisner. Two parts. Easily assembled. One can position the mirror in portrait or landscape mode and then choose between a 'normal' mirror reflection glass or the opposite side in nostalgic, warm, copper tone. Whatever you decide, the lines of the smoked colour oak base will draw a unique landscape on each mirror. The dimensions make the Gridy Me mirror for a vanity mirror or as a decorative element in your bathroom or living area. The Norwegian designers, Dybdal and Grieg Teisner met during their study and together they aim to create streamlined design with a strong sense of personality and function. "Gridy" is a combination of their surnames.
Londen based design pratice DesignWright, founded by the brothers Jeremy & Adrian Wright, created a minimalist eye catching wrist watch named NUNO for Lexon. The NUNO wrist watch is a solid Quartz analog watch with a steel case and leather strap. The Wright brothers play with the expectations of a traditional watch; the traditional hands were replaced by two rotating discs. Two markers indicate the hours and minutes. The watch is completed with a simple steel case and leather strap. The NUNO wrist watch is suitable for both men and women. Currently there are four colour variants, all of which are equally attractive in their simplicity.
Sur les toits
Atelier Peekaboo recently created a minimalist ceramic piggy bank named Sur les toits. The English translation is "on top of the roofs" and refers to the place where they found inspiration for the shape of the design. One easily inserts the money in the slot on top of the piggy bank and incase one needs the money, there is no need to crack the ceramic; just angle the piggy bank and shake gently. The prototypes, ranging in colours and sizes, have been handcrafted by the Fribourg based ceramist Peter Fink. Atelier Peekaboo was founded in 2008 by two Swiss designers from Neuchâtel. Damien Ummel and Thierry Didot met during their studies at the École Cantonale d'Art de Lausanne (ECAL). The two decided to strenght forces and by permanently questioning the industrial designer's role in a society surrounded by objects, they try to provide elements to respond to it.

New Zealand based Boskke tries to improve conventional gardening tools and products for contemporary urban lifestyles. Boskke is derived from the old English word 'bosky' which means 'a small forest' and that's exactly what you can create! Their latest creation is the Boskke Cube; a minimalist self-watering planter you need to water only once a month. The body is actually one big water reservoir and a slow watering system allows water to feed up into the soil, keeping your plant healthy and watered for extended periods. The transparent polycarbonate body reveals the soil and roots and allows you to witness firsthand the growth of your 'boskke'. Boskke cube is available in 3 sizes – small, 3 small and large – you suit your needs for your urban garden.
Steel stool
In February Noon Studio launched their latest iternation of the steel stool we have featured in the past. I did like the previous edition, the simple construction and use of honest materials, but I like the latest iternation even better. The founders of Noon Studio, Gautier Pelegron and Vincent Taiani, have worked on a few important details in the construction and decided to powder coat paint the high grade steel sheet. I love the contrast of the oiled European ash and the black steel. Pelegron and Taiani say the stool is influenced by traditional English craftsmanship and Provencal (southeastern France) rawness. The stool tries to express the direct simplicity found in real traditional antique Provencal furniture and the know-how of British craftsmanship which still holds today. The stool is not just a stool. One can easliy use it as a side or coffee table, book holder or shelving system.
Stationery by Nendo
Nendo have designed, for their own brand by | n, a new stationery collection. The collection consists of eleven minimalist items: the flip pen, contrast ruler, circle tags, link clips, rubber bands, outline tray, cross pen-stand, peel pen-case, hard cover memo-pad, edge note and the dot envelope. I would like to feature four items that caught my eye: Contrast ruler A minimalist ruler with marking fading from white to black, making the ruler easy to read on dark and light surfaces. Circle tag Normal sticky notes can be easily ripped off. The pie chart shaped notes however will stay in place for a long period of time thanks to an increased sticky surface and reduced number of corners. Link clip The link clips, made of high frictional paper, come connected and are detached one by one for use. Desktops keep tidy and they can be recycled along with the paper. Edge notes The edge notebooks have a colourful edge to help with filling. Filed with the spine outwards the books present a neat appearance, filed with the edges outwards the books are distinguishable by colour. Pages of the books are printed in a light cross pattern to provide enough guidance but less restrictive than lines....
Strike is an eye-catching collection of redesigned matchboxes in seven different dimensions and colours. Clara von Zweigbergk and Shane Schneck joined forces for Danish design house HAY to rethink the ordinary matchbox. They combined the original functionality of a matchbox with a colourful cardboard box. The striking area once was just functional now it is part of the design pattern on each box. The common matchbox is used almost exclusiving for advertising while the intricate red phosphorus pattern along the sides are secondary to the advert. Strike honors the activity of creating a flame. Strike is available in the colours fluorescent red, fluorescent yellow, fluorescent orange, turquoise, light blue, mint green and apricot. Strike was recently awarded with a Wallpaper Design Award 2014 for "Best Fireside". The awards are an annual celebration of things that caught the magazines eye over the last year.
Lapka BAM
Lapka has introduced another clever health tracking accessory: the Breath Alcohol Monitor. The Lapka BAM is an accessory for your phone that allows you to track alcohol metabolism over time and compare and share your measurements with friends. Another piece where technology and aesthetics come together in harmony. Lapka BAM is a minimalist black ceramic cylinder, that uses inaudible sound waves to communicate wireless with a custom app on your smartphone. The use of the Lapka BAM is easy: hold it in your fist, take a deep breath and blow for four seconds. The edge of your hand becomes the mouthpiece. The BAM icon on your phone screen will fill up completely when finished. The design of the app is cleverly done: the more drunk one is, the simpler the appearance of the app becomes. One sees an indication of the current blood alcohol level along with a description of what that means in practical terms.
Ninebyfour is a minimalist LED ceiling lamp by the Amsterdam based studio Waarmakers. The LED light tubes do not generate any heat during use, allowing the creators to use atypical materials for the fixture: wood and cork. Every year thousands of trees are felled in the Amsterdam area. Usually the city trees disappear from root to branch in a shredder. The wood for the Ninebyfour fixture however comes from these salvaged trees. The former location of the 'unfortunate' trees are stamped on the cork. Simply enter the coordinates in Google maps and find out the trees' origins. A first batch, from the Albert Neuhuysstraat, is now available.
Vessel must be one of the most relaxing bath tubs I have ever seen! Struck by the synergy between the shapes of a hammock and a bath tub the founders of SplinterWorks, Miles Hartwell and Matt Withington, were inspired to create an engaging and inspiring furniture piece for the bathroom. Or as they describe it themselves "a piece that would provide the ultimate vehicle for total escapism." Elevated above the floor, Vessel, made of carbon fibre, is a real eye-catcher with its smooth curves. The bath tub is filled using a floor standing, stainless steel, tap and the waste water released through the base into a floor drain. Apart from black, Vessel is also available in red, blue, yellow, pink, bronze and pure silver.
Looking for a great bicycle to navigate life in the metropolis? Have a look at the collection of BIKEID New York for a few beautiful steel horses. BIKEID offers a wide range of bicycles, but personally I prefer the those with the classic drop down handlebar. The models 'Stockholm' and 'Malmen' look great, but 'Svart', created exclusively for the MoMA store in New York, really strikes the eye in my opinion. Have a look at this, chic, matt black frame while the other components are high-gloss black, creating a great contrast. Sportive and classic drop down handlebar and smart rear hub. The rear hub has a built-in two speed gear system, eliminating the clutter of cables and levers, and a foot brake in addition to the front brake. Svart currently only available through the MoMA design store. Photography by Ruvan Wijesooriya

There are busts, and there are Pamela Anderson-busts. To be a bust as big as the Baywatch star's, you must be selected in the top ten picks of the NFL draft and fail incredibly as a professional athlete. Ex-Oakland Raiders JaMarcus Russell and Rolando McClain fit the category.
The Raiders invested heavily in Russell and McClain and returned with nothing, so it's understandable for those close to the organization to hold resentment against the two. The quarterback and linebacker respectively will be remembered as two of the biggest draft busts ever, but we can logically deduce who was worse.
Russell was drafted first overall in 2007 and McClain went ninth in 2010, and both lasted barely three years in the league. Their limitless potential was overshadowed by bad attitudes and laughable Sunday performances, which convinced team management to cut ties with them.
Russell was deemed the franchise savior, and at 6'6" and 260 pounds (coming out of college) with decent mobility and a rail gun arm, he aced the eye test.
Unfortunately for the Raiders, a CAT scan on the signal caller's brain couldn't reveal his lack of drive or care for anything football-related, infuriating coach Tom Cable and others as he missed team meetings and gave poor effort during practices. By the end of his tenure Russell's colleagues didn't want to join him on the field, which was evident by players' body language.
And of course, Russell was an atrocious passer. His accuracy never improved from his LSU days, and he struggled to make pre-snap reads. In his final season as a Raider (2009), the quarterback completed less than half his pass attempts (averaging 5.2 yards per throw), totaling two touchdowns, nine interceptions and an atrocious 47.7 passer rating in nine starts. For his career, Russell was 7-18 as a starter.
McClain never shared a locker room with Russell, but the thrower's spirit likely possessed the linebacker, as his Oakland stint was deja vu for the organization on the defensive side of the ball. Hailed as a strong leader at Alabama, the 2009 SEC Player of the Year couldn't win his teammates' hearts, and he bashed horns with coach Dennis Allen, which led to a two-game suspension.
McClain was a sloppy open field tackler and struggled to orchestrate the defense while calling audibles from the middle linebacker position. Last season, the physically gifted athlete became so unreliable he was removed from passing situations (for a rookie, no less), after being an every-down player for two years. Despite his advantageous upper-body strength, McClain only forced one fumble in 41 game appearances.
Both busts were considered the best prospects at their positions, although Russell was seen as the cream of his entire class by Al Davis (who may have forgotten to wipe the crust from his eyes at the NFL combine). Both failed to consistently inspire their units and win the trust of their coaches.
Russell caused more financial damage to the Raiders, walking away with $31.5 million in guaranteed money (earned through a lengthy holdout) as to McClain's $23 million in hard salary (partly voided due to his suspension). Along the way, the former top pick undermined Cable's authority (Davis temporarily vetoed Cable's wishes to bench the flop in favor of Bruce Gradkowski) and disgraced the Raiders' national reputation. McClain, for his all faults (i.e. arrests), simply enforced the "bad boy" image of the team.
As a quarterback, Russell was held to a higher standard than McClain, so his career implosion was more exceptional. On the bright side, he finally won something substantial.
Verdict: Russell over McClain. We don't need the chains.

New qualification will boost skills in Northern Ireland
Dr Mike Short, IET president.
IET president Dr Mike Short CBE says a proposed new AS and A level course in software and systems development will give Northern Ireland's economy a boost by providing much needed skills.
"It is more important than ever that the worlds of education and industry work together to ensure that we have the engineers and technicians of the future. Our current generation, often referred to as the 'Net Generation', are heavy users of ICT in their social interaction, yet very few have been taught how to understand, design and build upon the technology that underpins most of our daily lives," Dr Short says.
"This proposed new qualification in software and systems development has been developed to meet the needs of local industry. If approved, it will give Northern Ireland a boost in developing a skilled workforce which will enable us to compete effectively on the global stage."
"A lack of ICT focus in the curriculum has resulted in generations of students who, though avid users of technology, have absolutely no insight into how modern ICT systems work," adds Professor Jonathan Wallace, chairman of the Engineering Policy Group Northern Ireland.
The IET has provided input into the Northern Ireland's Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment proposals for the new qualification. If the proposals are approved by Northern Ireland's Department of Education, the new qualification will be available in schools from September 2013.

Donald Trump's Popularity Suddenly Plunges for No Discernable Reason
You guys heard that thing about how sometimes a political candidate can be too good and too accomplished to win, haven't you? That's a real not-made-up thing, right? I'm sure it is. Because what other possible explanation could there be for this…
Donald Trump has had one of the quickest rises and falls in the history of Presidential politics. Last month we found him leading the Republican field with 26%. In the space of just four weeks he's dropped all the way down to 8%, putting him in a tie for fifth place with Ron Paul.
Tied with Ron Paul? Oh, man. I'll bet even Ron Paul can appreciate how humiliating that is…
As Trump got more and more exposure over the last month Republicans didn't just decide they weren't interested in having him as their nominee- they also decided they flat don't like him. Only 34% of GOP voters now have a favorable opinion of Trump to 53% who view him in a negative light.
What I think happened was that as people became more familiar with him and saw how masterfully he shamed the president into releasing that probably-still-fake birth certificate, all the Republicans in the country started getting really jealous of his obviously superior competence and intelligence and attractiveness. Not to mention that beautiful head of hair.
You know, the exact same thing happened with Jesus.
That's why Trump was cast out of the heavens and made to live with mortal men. True story.

The federal lawsuit filed against TennCare by three legal advocacy groups is now a class action, based on an order filed Tuesday afternoon (Sept. 2) by Judge Todd Campbell.
In late August, CMS approved Pennsylvania's alternative plan to expand the state Medicaid program ... and after months of silence on the topic, Gov. Bill Haslam once again began talking about Tennessee's options to expand coverage under the Affordable Care Act.

As my most ardent instantgram followers must know, I recently got obsessed with a lock that someone put on a fence (Ina Coolbirth Park) and made a short mini-comic about it.
I'll bring some copies (risographed by Ryan Sands) to the opening of I See What You Say (Sunday, April 28th), a fantastic show at the San Francisco Cartoon Art Museum. It features some of my favorite illustrators & cartoonists, and I also painted a lion & a bird on a wall. Bring your children, so they can sit next to a flat animal and draw things!
PS. If you're the one who put that lock on that fence—please get in touch with me, I'd like to know why you did that.

Rochester, New York,
United States
|Businessman, Diplomat,
Attorney and Writer
|Melinda Fuller vanden Heuvel
|Katrina vanden Heuvel, Wendy vanden Heuvel, Ashley von Perfall, John vanden Heuvel Pierce
William Jacobus vanden Heuvel (born April 14, 1930) is an attorney, businessman and author, as well as a former diplomat.
He is the father of Katrina vanden Heuvel, longtime editor of The Nation magazine, and Wendy vanden Heuvel, children from his marriage to author/editor Jean Stein, the well-to-do daughter of Jules C. Stein, founder of MCA.
Early life[edit]
Vanden Heuvel was born in Rochester, New York, to a Dutch father and a Belgian mother, Alberta.[1][2][3] He attended public schools in New York. He attended Deep Springs College (Deep Springs does not "graduate" attendees.) and graduated from Cornell University, where he was a member of the Telluride Association. At Cornell Law School, he was editor-in-chief of Cornell's law review. He was admitted to the New York Bar in 1952, and then joined the law firm of Donovan, Leisure, Newton & Irvine as an Associate.[4]
An early protégé of Office of Strategic Services founder William Joseph Donovan, vanden Heuvel served at the U.S. embassy (1953–1954) in Bangkok, Thailand as Donovan's Executive Assistant. In 1958, vanden Heuvel served as Counsel to New York State Governor W. Averell Harriman.
In 1962, he became U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy's assistant, and was involved in Kennedy's 1964 and 1968 political campaigns. As special assistant to Attorney General Kennedy, vanden Heuvel played the key role in court, orchestrating the desegregation of the Prince Edward County school system, which expanded the scope of the landmark decision, Brown v. Board of Education.[5]
In 1965, he joined Stroock & Stroock & Lavan as Senior Partner where he practiced international and corporate law. He is currently Senior Counsel to the firm.
In the 1970s, vanden Heuvel, as Chairman of the New York City Board of Corrections, led a campaign to investigate conditions in the city's prison system. He has had a lifelong involvement in the reform of the criminal justice system.
He served as U.S. Ambassador to the European office of the United Nations in Geneva (1977–79)[6] and United States Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations (1979–1981) during the Jimmy Carter Administration.[7]
Vanden Heuvel has held directorships in a number of public companies. They include: the U.S. Banknote Corporation, Time Warner, Inc., and the North Aegean Petroleum company, and others. Since 1984, he has been a Senior Advisor to the investment banking firm Allen & Company.[8]
Currently he is Chairman of the American Austrian Foundation [9] and Co-chairman of the Council of American Ambassadors. Since 1984, vanden Heuvel has been Chairman of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute and a current member of the Council on Foreign Relations.[10] He is a Governor and former Chairman of the United Nations Association of the United States of America, and has written extensively on the United Nations and American foreign policy.[11] He is also a member of Collegium International, an organization of leaders with political, scientific, and ethical expertise whose goal is to provide new approaches in overcoming the obstacles in the way of a peaceful, socially just and an economically sustainable world. He served as an honorary chairman of The OSS Society.

text: Libertarian Who Ran Against Terry McAuliffe Gets on Virginia Senate Ballot Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 27 Jun 2014 post a comment On Thursday, libertarian candidate Robert Sarvis qualified to be on the ballot statewide in this fall's U.S. Senate race in Virginia. Republican Ed Gillespie is trying to knock off Democrat incumbent Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), and Sarvis may be the spoiler, especially if he manages to get invited to statewide debates. Sarvis could peel away the anti-Warner vote that may have normally gone to Gillespie in a two-person race. According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, "Sarvis submitted more than 19,000 total signatures to ensure he met the requirement of 10,000 valid signatures from registered Virginia voters, including 400 from each of the state's eleven Congressional districts." "The ballot-qualification process is designed to be long and arduous, to minimize competition against the vested interests that control our politics," Sarvis said, according to the Times-Dispatch. Sarvis, who is from Northern Virginia, was also on the gubernatorial ballot in 2013 and "received the highest vote total of any third-party candidate in 40 years" in a race in which Democrat Terry McAuliffe eked out a victory against conservative Ken Cuccinelli.

Health care has to be looked at in context, according to Annie Fox and Teana Burns of "Harlan Countians for a Healthy Community" in Kentucky. Fox says: "We still have issues in rural America with sanitation, potable water, electricity. Until you deal with those things, you're always going to have health care issues."

William Styron in Letters, Part 4
December 6, 2012 | by William Styron
To George Plimpton
September 18, 1953 Ravello, Italy
Dear George:
Last night I did something which I only do once or twice in a generation: I stayed up all night with a bottle of Schenley's and watched the dawn. That sort of thing is a perverse, masochistic business and at around 9 A.M. I was entertaining the idea of writing two or three novels before I went to bed, but oblivion closed in an hour later, and I just woke up. It is now almost sunset. This is mainly by way of saying that if this letter doesn't have a Chesterfieldian elegance + grace you will at least have been apprised of the reason.
My main reason for writing this letter is one-fold, I have been forced down certain channels of contemplation by a recent communiqué from John ("The Second Happiest Day") Phillips, to use current journalese. Primarily, I was interested in his remarks about a Hemingway issue of PR; and I think at this point and without further ado I can shoulder my burden as advisory editor of the snappiest little mag on the Rive Gauche and say that I think it's a great idea. Peter and THG apparently (according to Marquand) are not so enthusiastic about the proposition; as for me I think that if you really have enough interesting, fresh material in the offing (it must be interesting, fresh, original, and there must be quite a bit of it) then it might be one of the literary coups of all time. As Marquand said, print the word Hemingway in neon all over each page and both covers. Anything goes. Read More »
William Styron in Letters, Part 2
December 4, 2012 | by William Styron
To John P. Marquand, Jr.
April 17, 1953 Rome, Italy
Dear Jack:
I received your telegram, and I must say that Rose and I feel that there would be nothing more delightful than to play Byron with you for a while, and we were especially intrigued by the line which said a special tour was being arranged, or would be arranged, "in our honor," which conjured up visions of open, bullet-proof sedans, police escorts, and jonquils being thrown into our faces by a frantic populace. It would indeed be nice. But we have talked this thing over and have decided that in view of the fact that we will probably be getting married within the next few weeks, and that Rose's brother and wife are expected at any moment, it would put a strain on our nervous resources to come, at least my nervous resources, already depleted by a soggy, constant drunkenness brought on in part by the prospect of marriage, by insomnia, by clots, and by a general spiritual enervation resulting from the realization that already, going on 28, I am a wash-up as a writer and fit only to do the "Recent & Readable" part of the book section in Time. In other words, I will be going through a crisis this spring and although I don't doubt that Greece is an excellent place to weather such a storm, I hope you can understand my position. I hope also, by the way, that when you finish diddling your Greek lady-in-waiting you will come back to Rome in time to take part in the shoddy ceremony which is due to be enacted in the city hall. That will be some time toward the end of this month, no doubt, or the first week or so in May.
William Styron in Letters
December 3, 2012 | by William Styron
"A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end," explained William Styron in his 1954 Art of Fiction interview. "You live several lives while reading it. Its writer should, too." Such is the experience in reading Styron's Selected Letters, edited by Rose Styron, with R. Blakeslee Gilpin, and published this week. Alongside major cultural and political events of the latter half of the twentieth century are intimate accounts of family life, depression, writing, frustrations, and friendships.
Of his many lives, Styron may be best remembered in this office for his influence on the early years of The Paris Review. It is awfully fun to see those moments surface in his correspondence, and our selection was made with those moments in mind. Look for a new letter each day this week.
To Dorothy Parker
July 19, 1952 Paris, France
Honeybunch darling—the story is, I believe, coming along just dandy and my pretty much night and day work on it is the main reason I haven't written you before this. It is now between 11,000 and 12,000 words, which I figure is about two-thirds complete. It has some really good—fine—things in it so far, and I think it will be even better when it's finished. In fact I think I can say it has some of my best writing in it and will make stories by people like Hemingway and Turgenev pale in comparison. That sounds a bit like what Hemingway would say, doesn't it? Read More »
Amie Barrodale Wins Plimpton Prize; Adam Wilson Wins Terry Southern Prize for Humor
March 13, 2012 | by The Paris Review
On Tuesday, April 3, The Paris Review will honor two of our favorite young writers.
Amie Barrodale will receive the Review's Plimpton Prize for "Wiliam Wei," which appeared in our Summer issue.
Adam Wilson will receive the second Terry Southern Prize for Humor for his story "What's Important Is Feeling" and his contributions to The Paris Review Daily.
The Plimpton Prize for Fiction is a $10,000 award given to a new voice published in The Paris Review. The prize is named for the Review's longtime editor George Plimpton and reflects his commitment to discovering new writers of exceptional merit. The winner is chosen by the Board of the Review. This year's prize will be presented by Mona Simpson.
The Terry Southern Prize for Humor is a $5,000 award recognizing wit, panache, and sprezzatura in work published by The Paris Review or online by the Daily. Perhaps best known as the screenwriter behind Dr. Strangelove and Easy Rider—and the subject of an interview in issue 200!—Terry Southern was also a satirical novelist, a pioneering New Journalist, and a driving force behind the early Paris Review. Comedian David Cross will present this year's award.
The honoree of this year's Revel is Robert Silvers. Zadie Smith will present Silvers with the 2012 Hadada, the Review's lifetime achievement award recognizing a "strong and unique contribution to literature." Previous recipients of the Hadada include James Salter, John Ashbery, Joan Didion, Norman Mailer, Peter Matthiessen, George Plimpton (posthumously), Barney Rosset, Philip Roth, and William Styron.
Come help us celebrate our honorees and our two hundredth issue—and support the Review. Buy your Revel tickets now!
At the Hotel Roquefort
October 10, 2011 | by James Jones
The Paris Review was founded in 1953, the year after my father won the National Book Award for his novel From Here to Eternity. James Jones was a newcomer on the literary scene, an outsider who had fought in the Pacific and had only completed two semesters of college. By the time my parents moved to Paris in 1958, The Paris Review was a hugely important literary magazine. And although my father never felt a part of the highly educated, ivory-tower crowd, he was extremely fond of William Styron, George Plimpton, and Peter Matthiessen, the magazine's founders, and felt a deep kinship with them as people who were committed to the written word. My father was interviewed by Nelson W. Aldrich Jr. for the Autumn/Winter 1958–59 issue of The Paris Review, just after the publication of his second novel, Some Came Running, which was savaged by the critics. The interview gave my father a chance to speak his mind and set the record straight, and it is one of the best interviews he ever gave. It seems only fitting that a section of his earliest, unpublished work should be printed in The Paris Review, whose three founders came to his defense and continued to stand by him and his work long after his death in 1977. —Kaylie Jones
Staff Picks: Dioramas, Donald Young and Stardom

I've been reading Ben Jeffrey on Philip Roth's later novels and our sometime special tennis correspondent Louisa Thomas on Donald Young and stardom. –Lorin Stein
This week I stumbled across the artfully nostalgic Welcome to Pine Point. Developed by the creative team behind Adbusters and billed as an interactive documentary, it explores the memories of a now-vanished mining town. It's part film, part photo album, and completely fascinating. –Deirdre Foley-Mendelssohn
A conundrum: two petite biographies from Yale's Jewish Lives series—Joshua Rubenstein's Leon Trotsky and Vivian Gornick's Emma Goldman. Which to read first? Sorry, Lev, the anarchist woman wins. –Nicole Rudick
A friend just drew my attention to an article in the June issue of Plum Hamptons by Taylor Plimpton about his father, touch football at the Matthiessens', and the Review as seen from a child's perspective: "Of my introduction long ago to the rich literary culture of the Hamptons," it begins, "I remember best the nose-hair." –L.S.
This is the last week to see the incredible diorama show at the Museum of Art and Design, "Otherworldly: Optical Delusions and Small Realities." The title describes it well. –Artie Niederhoffer
Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life is kind of goofy, very uneven, and has an unwieldy third act. Still necessary viewing for the Serge-o-phile. And I thought Laetitia Casta made a stunning Bardot! –Sadie Stein
Recent perusal of a used book store turned up a Dover Thrift reprint of Clarence Cook's 1881 The House Beautiful: Essays on Beds and Tables and Stools and Candlesticks. As a furniture enthusiast, I enjoyed its strong opinions on dining-room tables and wash-stands; as a New Yorker, I found it to be rather comforting. There's just something nice about knowing that Victorian Manhattanites were packed in as uncomfortably as today's: "In city houses, particularly in New-York, where I believe we are more scrimped for room ... even the richest people are obliged to squeeze themselves into a less number of square feet than in any other city in the world calling itself great. " –Clare Fentress
Over Labor Day weekend I read Sailing Alone Around the World, Joshua Slocum's 1899 memoir, because I'll be damned if I give up the summery feeling of adventure without a fight. –Cody Wiewandt
I went to a garage sale this weekend that boasted a near-complete set of the now nonexistent hardcover Horizon magazine, and picked up a strange-looking issue with only a large gold Chinese character for "Tang" on the cover. Inside, I found an article on the dynasty's turbulent history by one of my favorite writers, Emily Hahn. Definitely one of my better bargain finds. –Ali Pechman

Linda C. Kah
Associate Professor
Carbonate Sedimentology & Geochemistry
My science is truly interdisciplinary &helips; blending geology, chemistry, and biology to address a variety of questions regarding the types of feedback between different Earth systems and the relative roles of these systems in the evolution of the Earth's early biosphere. That said, my passion is for the Mesoproterozoic - an interval of time spanning from 1.6 to 1.0 billion years ago (longer than the whole of the Phanerozoic), yet a time of which we know relatively little. What we do know, however, is intriguing:
- assembly of the first, major supercontinent, Rodinia
- the first widespread deposition of marine gypsum
- the first unambiguously multicellular life
The Mesoproterozoic Era
Supercontinent of Rodinia at 1.0 Ga
1.2 Ga gypsum, Arctic Canada
1.2 Ga red alga, Artic Canada
Even more intriguing, recent age constraints for Mesoproterozoic successions suggest that these events initiated within a relatively short time span, between approximately 1.3 and 1.2 billion years ago. Much of my research is therefore focussed on this interval - ultimately trying to determine if these various events are related, and if so, how?
Recent Field Areas — Take a Tour!
Baffin Island
NWT, Canada
Ural Mts., Russia
West Texas
To best accomplish this goal, my students, colleagues, and I concentrate on detailed analysis of individual sedimentary basins and formations. This strategy allows us to use detailed stratigraphy and facies analysis from field work to define paleoenvironments and time-lines of environmental change. Samples collected in the field are then brought back to the lab where they undergo a variety of petrographic and geochemical analyses. Ultimately, these different scales of information are placed back into the stratigraphic framework to construct an overall picture of the Mesoproterozoic.
"Complex events can rarely be reconstructed
from single lines of evidence,
even where the record is well preserved"
Preston Cloud (1983)
I am always looking for interested, ambitious students! In exploring complex problems, there is a lot of room for students of differing interests - most student projects will include a variety of techniques, but individual projects can be:
- dominantly field-based: for example determining details of basin stratigraphy
- largely petrographic: such as exploring carbonate fabric genesis and diagenesis
- paleobiological: exploring the role of microbes in Precambrian systems, or
- mostly geochemical: such as determining original marine compositions, deciphering diagenetic pathways, and exploring effects of biogeochemical cycling

Because of the enormity of the challenge of building an infrastructure for learning, we should approach it step by step, designing and implementing individual elements so we can take advantage of their incremental benefits along the way.
Broadband everywhere
|Building a Statewide Infrastructure for Learning
|Using Cell Phones to Support Teaching and Learning
|Individualizing and Differentiating Learning in New York's School of One
|Open Textbooks In California
A crucial element of an infrastructure for learning is a broadband network of adequate performance and reach, including abundant wireless coverage in and out of school buildings. Adequate means enough bandwidth to support simultaneous use by all students and educators anywhere in the building and the surrounding campus to routinely use the web, multimedia, and collaboration software. The activities of the Federal Communication Commission (www.fcc.gov/broadband/) and the Department of Commerce NTIA Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (www.ntia.doc.gov/broadbandgrants/) to bolster the nation's broadband provisioning are essential to learning life-long and life-wide.
Access devices for every student and educator
Because an infrastructure for learning should support learning in and outside the classroom, students and educators need Internet access devices for around-the-clock use from any location. Internet access devices are continually evolving and today include desktop computers, laptops, netbooks, public-access kiosks, mobile phones, portable digital players, and wireless readers. Many districts say they face major challenges in providing access devices for every student and educator. Even with the rise of relatively low cost mobile devices and netbooks, most devices cost at least several hundred dollars and need to be replaced every few years. In 2002, however, Maine became the first state in the country to give every seventh- and eighth-grade student and educator a laptop for use both at school and at home. Research on the effectiveness of the program shows that student learning has improved (Berry & Wintle, 2009; Silvernail & Bluffington, 2009; Silvernail & Gritter, 2007), and the program is now being expanded to high schools.
Many K-12 students already carry mobile devices for personal use with greater computing power than the supercomputers of a generation ago. K-12 educators routinely own access devices for use in their daily lives. Students at our nation's colleges and universities increasingly are arriving on campus with powerful laptops and mobile devices of their own. The presence of so many access devices and the precedent that has been established at colleges and universities is prompting some K-12 school districts to explore having their students and educators use their own personal access devices as an alternative to purchasing them. In the past, districts were reluctant to allow students to use their own devices in school because of concerns about the unfair advantage of affluent students who are more likely to have the latest devices and the risk of students accessing inappropriate Internet content or using their connectivity to cheat on tests. However, districts are finding that a combination of acceptable use policies and staff training makes student use of personal digital devices both feasible and safe.
Middletown Public Schools in New Jersey, for example, brought together elementary, middle, and high school educators to forge an acceptable-use policy that would allow students to use personal cell phones and other computing devices in school. Students then created videos to illustrate acceptable and unacceptable uses for their peers. At Passage Middle School in Newport News, Virginia, a host of student and educator uses of cell phones to support learning was unleashed when the principal decided to allow the use of cell phones for instructional purposes during class.
Schools can also solve the equity issue – concern that affluent students will have devices and others will not – by purchasing devices just for the students who need such financial support. This is more cost-effective than purchasing devices for every student. Districts can think about providing an access device and Internet access at home for those students who need them in the same way they provide a free or reduced-price hot lunch for students who could not otherwise afford it. Allowing students to bring their own access devices to school has been limited, however, by provisions within the E-Rate, a federal program that supports connectivity in elementary and secondary schools and libraries by providing discounts on Internet access, telecommunications services, internal network connections, and basic maintenance to support them. Schools' eligibility for E-Rate money is contingent on compliance with several federal laws designed to ensure student privacy and safety on the Internet. These include the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA), which requires the use of electronic filtering on school networks. In some cases this requirement creates barriers to the rich learning experiences that in-school Internet access should afford students. E-Rate provisions and CIPA requirements should be clarified and barriers to student-owned devices in schools removed. (See the sidebar on Balancing Connectivity and Student Safety on the Internet for more information.)

Pitting kids against grown-ups has always been a reliable source of comedy, and Big Fat Liar indulges the "smart kid vs. dumb adult" fantasy with infectious enthusiasm. In this case it's Frankie Muniz from TV's Malcolm in the Middle, playing a Michigan eighth-grader whose penchant for lying results in parental scorn when he claims that a Hollywood movie mogul (ace character actor Paul Giamatti) has stolen the kid's hastily written English essay and turned it into his upcoming summer blockbuster. The kid only wants to prove his honesty and recruits his girlfriend (spunky TV star Amanda Bynes) to beat the honcho on his Hollywood turf. Elaborate practical jokes and slapstick gags turn this kid stuff (scripted and produced by two former child stars) into an enjoyable send-up of Hollywood absurdity. When combined with Giamatti's mastery of slow-burning megalomania, the show-biz in-jokes and Home Alone-style anarchy make this a harmless diversion for the young and young-at-heart. --Jeff Shannon
