I just installed SIPDROID. I made three account in sip2sip.(free SIP provider).
Then after I have configured application using one of that account. Application works fine.
Question is: If I make multiple call to the same phone using SIP is there anyway to handle all calls at a same time?
Multiple call on the same phone seems not working. The first call getting picked up but what about the second call which is coming during first call is going on.
Even second call is not displaying on the screen. Confused !!
I just installed SIPDROID. I made three account in sip2sip.(free SIP provider).
Sipdroid that I what started with but after researching on it and from developers reviews I found that application has some missing functionality like multiple call and transferring calls etc...
I don't know but may who is expert in sip stack or have time to do can implement missing functionality but I am neither one of them so my desire to get an application that have all this functionality and by modifying it I can integrate into my application and csipsimple is the answer.
According to wiki you can build native library or you can go ahead without building the native library. I suggest for windows user to go with without building the native library.
If you have read wiki then in "without building the native library" section last line is like
I have to clarify one important thing about that:
Here, you can see the source code version. Download the same version .apk and do further as described in wiki.

The airport provides daily and long-term parking facilities. There are car parks in front of each terminal, in the Central Terminal Area (CTA) parking area. The long-term car park is located 6.5km (4 miles) from the terminals, at Lefferts Boulevard. The Howard Beach Station train operates between the long-term parking stations A or B and the Airline Terminal 1 (journey time -8 minutes). The AirTrain JFK runs from the Airline Terminal 1 to the other terminals. Passengers using the long-term car park should allow for at least 30 minutes to reach the terminal. Call for more parking information (tel: (718) 244 4168).
Car hire
All major companies, including Avis are represented. There are desks (or courtesy telephones) in each terminal, on the Arrivals level. Courtesy transport is available to take passengers to car hire offices along the Van Wyck Expressway (I-678).

Does any one know about any free software for windows with which I can combine multiple videos and create a video like this?

On Windows, for free, your best (albeit complicated) bet might be Blender.
You could create a series of several plane meshes in the layout you wanted, in front of the camera. You'd then create a separate material for each of the planes, setting them to shadeless, and giving each a different video texture. You'd have to mix the audio separately (Windows Movie Maker, or Blender also has a built in video editor).
I'll note that using a 3D approach for something like this isn't ideal at all - a 2D compositing program like Adobe After Effects would be much better (Blender itself does have a 2D compositing component, but since it uses nodes instead of layers, it might actually be more difficult).
There are several free or cheap video editing programs for Windows; Microsoft themselves provide Windows Movie Maker, and then as an opensource alternative there's VirtualDub.

Cherry Kearton, Bayer-Fluckiger and others have results that say the monoid of isotopy classes of smooth oriented embeddings of $S^n$ in $S^{n+2}$ is not a free commutative monoid provided $n \geq 3$. The monoid structure I'm referring to is the connect sum of knots.
Bayer-Fluckiger has a result in particular that says you can satisfy these equations $$a+b=a+c, \ \ \ \ b \neq c$$ where $a,b,c$ are isotopy classes of knots and $+$ is connect sum.
When $n=1$ it's an old result of Horst Schubert's that the monoid of knots is free commutative on countably-infinite many generators.
What I'm wondering is, does anyone have an idea of how difficult it might be to compute the structure of the group completion of the monoid of knots, say, for $n \geq 3$? That's not really my question for the forum, though.
It's this: Do people have good examples where it's "easy" to compute the group-completion of a commutative monoid, but for which the monoid itself is still rather mysterious? Meaning, one where rather minimal amounts of information are required to compute the group completion? Presumably there are examples where it's painfully difficult to say anything about the group completion? For example, can it be hard to say if there's torsion in the group completion?

Home :: Ratings & Reviews
Review 1: "The Atomic Bass earphones' understated design is further promoted by the supercompact size of the buds. Even users with smaller-than-average ears should have no problem achieving a relatively secure and comfortable fit. Radius includes three sizes of silicone ear tips, and I had no trouble getting a good fit with the smallest of these. I found the earphones to be comfortable after more than two hours of wear". - (CNET)
Review 2: "Audio Performance of the Atomic Bass is Intense..It's impressive that these small earphones pack so much punch at such low price...The Radius Atomic Bass Earbuds are aptly named: The low frequency response of the Atomic Bass is surprisingly stronger than the $1150 Ultimate Ears UE11Pro, which has a subwoffer built-in each ear...All this makes them a terrific budget pick for fans of music with a prominent low end".- (PC Magazine)
Review 3: "Radius Earbuds has gone with untraditional shapes that both look and feel good, assuming that they're inserted and then twisted into the proper position in your ear canals, the silicone tips sealing with your ears to block out quite a bit of ambient sound...When they're in properly, however, they provide the right quantity of bass, enough to let you hear low-end notes, but without the Darth Vader-style mid-bass-boosting effect of V-Moda's original Vibes. By the standards of $40 earphones, these sound quite good". - (iLounge)
Review 4: "The Atomic Bass is a very strong performer for its price, and I would recommend it over several more expensive earphones...It's also worth noting that Radius claims the Atomic Bass is ideal for those with small ears". - (MacWorld)
Review 5: "I thought they'd perform like any other cheaper set of earphones, but oh boy was I impressed. I'm not even kidding when I said that my head was rattling the first time I tried them. Radius isn't kidding when they say these have "atomic" bass. They're not as powerful as ear-thumping deejay-style cans, but these are among the best in-ear style headphones that I have ever used". - (Mobile Magazine)
Review 6: "The contrast between highs and lows were immensely wide and crystal clear. The bass response had a bottom of which I'd never heard before. I've been a long time student of the school of thought "No bass, no good." And THIS was good. But what I was most impressed with was the full range of studio panning available with these headsets. That is, the sensation of three dimensional audio spacing; front-left, front-center, front-right; rear-left, rear-center and rear-right. The result was the grand sense of a large room being filled with a wall of sound. "Mucho Awesome! The Radius Atomic Bass for iPhone earphones $39.99 and worth every penny. It also stands up to several of the more expensive models like the Etymotic hf2 noise-isolating headset + earphones for example which run up to $179. Ouch!". - (Method Shop)
Review 7: "Good quality earphones are impossible to come by, but for a budget the Radius Atomic Bass 2 + Mic Earphones offer very good bass, fantastic sound quality, and amazing noise cancellation for the money". - (Chip Chick)
Review 8: "Best Bang for the buck:
It is easy to test these against my collection of $100ish earphones and it sits mid pack. Sounds was comparable, fit was perfect, and the iPhone controls were cool. The hard part is to remember the Radius earphones cost half of the others. And that is impressive Earbuds."
Overall: To sum up, I like these. Their sound quality and hot aluminum looks are winners in my book. The low price is icing on the cake. I don't see these staying in stock long anywhere and according to the reviews on their website from places like CNET, everyone seems to agree with me". - (Gadgetell)
Review 9: "Needless to say, this is far beyond the performance I've had with all but the most expensive systems in the past. Even the $200 pair of Sharper Image over-the-ear Quiet Place headphones (which I've taken on two overseas flights and used for many movies and hours of music in flight and on the ground) take a back seat to these $50 Radius units. And the fact that they fit into a small mint tin, rather than taking up more room than an SLR camera, means they are more likely to be in your bag when you need a quiet moment". - (The Gadgeteer)
Review 10: "As for comfort they're very comfortable for long periods of time, theyre lightweight and after a while you don't even notice them in your ears, you can easily wear these Earbuds for hours with no ill effects...The Radius Atomic Bass Aluminum Earphones are not only stylish, but they're made well and they work as advertised, they truly do add more bass to your music experience". - (The Gadgeteer)
Review 11: "Radius Atomic Bass Earphones are 10 steps above Apple's Earphones. Comparing these to some VMODA, Apple, Sennheiser, and Bose earphones, I think these just blow those into another dimension". - (iFans)
Review 12: "If you're looking for something sleek, snazzy and a little easier on the pocketbook, perhaps the Radius iPod Aluminum Ear Buds are just the thing to dress up your commute and workout". - (StyleList)
Review 13: "This whole global economic crisis, and its resulting massive loss of jobs got us thinking. We here at Engadget didn't want to stand helplessly by, announcing every new round of misery without giving anything back -- so we decided to take the opportunity to spread a little positivity. Get your self a pair of Radius Atomic Bass Earphones. The best value you can find for the money." - (Engadget)
Review 14: "With the super thin rubber wire and deep in-ear style, these earbuds are barely noticeable. This is great news for athletes who wear helmets. I took the buds out for a spin on my snowboard and barely noticed them. The headphones were so flush with my ear that they never touched my helmet." - (Electronista)
Review 15: "However, after listening for myself, I definitely hear how good they are. The clear sound might have something to do with its unique shape" - (Coolest-Gadgets)
Review 16: "Whether its rock music or your classical bliss that is needed, the radius Atomic Bass earphones deliver a sound that is well above standard earphones especially the ones that usually accompany mp3 players. Music styles like techno that deliver variants of bass can be heard with more than just a subtle difference. These earphones can also increase the bass." - (Viral Electronics )
Review 17: "When anyone will ask me about these earphones the first thing I will tell them is what a deal. If you look at other earphones like the V-Moda Vibes that sell for $99.99 and the Shures E4cs that are $169.99 the Atomic Bass Earphones from Radius are surely a great deal. Overall ThinkComputers gives the Radius Atomic Bass Earphones for iPhone a 9 out of 10 score and our Good Value Award!" - (ThinkComputers)
Review 18: "Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised by the audio performance of the Radius Atomic Bass. Presenting some window shattering, neighbor angering bass in this package and price (Which, of course, any of the listen won't actually happen because it's not a full scare home audio system), regardless the bass is still jaw dropping awesomeness. And the good thing is that it's not overwhelming at all, unlike some competing products." - (APH Networks)
Review 19: "The Atomic Bass headphones are very comfortable and promise to deliver impressive bass form the tiny size of the earphones....If you are looking for a set of earphones that are small, work with the iPhone or iPod and have good bass Radius Atomic Bass earphone is perhaps the best choice." - (Smashing Gadgets)

Pharoah starts by hardening his own heart, but then God hardens it (here is the list of verses). Did God remove Pharoah's free will?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

That God removed or lessened Pharaoh's free will is a common explanation; usually justified by saying that the plagues were punishment for the slavery and could not be allowed to be escaped. I never liked that explanation, but it's out there.
Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch in his Commentary explains that God did not "harden Pharaoh's heart" so much as "allow Pharaoh's heart to be hardened". This was achieved allowing Pharaoh to (incorrectly) perceive limits to God's power in bringing the plagues.
For example, Hirsch translates Exodus 9:30–32 as a single quote, something like (adapting the JPS translation from http://mechon-mamre.org/)
I.e., Pharaoh is stricken with hail, but is allowed to believe that God is not actually powerful enough to destroy all of Egypt's crops. The plagues get progressively harsher, but each time God leaves Pharaoh enough room to believe that "this is as bad as it will get".
In the next chapter, Pharaoh's servants recognize this tactic, demanding, "How long shall this man be a snare unto us?" The word "snare" is interesting, implying there was something "tricky" about the presentation of the plagues although they came with full warning.
The Hebrew text uses three different words in this context:
I do not know if God's "hardening of Pharaoh's heart" is in conversation with the modern question of free will vs. determinism, but it is clear that the heavy/hard heart was an important and meaningful symbol within that historical and political context. See for example:
In short:
The question of whether or not Pharaoh had free will, like the question whether or not anyone has free will, is not addressed directly by the Pentateuch. God's repeated use of heart imagery to describe Pharaoh's insubordination is probably a satirical allusion to Egyptian mythology. God promised: "...I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt" (Exodus 12:12), so its no wonder that the language of Exodus is in conversation with Egyptian mythology. This article and this book, show how each of the Ten Plagues was intended as an affront to one of the many Egyptian gods.
קָשָׁה, Strongs 7185 means harden, and has the preformative attachment, אֶ, denoting the imperfect conjugation, used for incomplete action. This can be present or future depending on context, which in this case is obviously future, so we get "I will harden".
A man can only use his will within the limits of his nature. So the first point is that Pharoah being unregenerated could only make decisions within his sin nature; free will means that while man can make any decision, he will only make the decisions that his sin nature allows him to make.
The main point though is that God is in charge of everything. He doesn't remove man's free will, but he does direct his heart and actions to fulfill his eternal purpose established before the foundation of the world. He is sovereign.
Here is a New Testament record of God hardening hearts, John 12:37-40:
Which references Isaiah 6:10:

I'm trying to solve the problem 5.12 of Harim Brezis' Functional Analysis, Sobolev Spaces and Partial Differential Equations; but I'm stucked understanding the statement which comes as follows:
Let $E$ be a vector space equipped with the scalar product $( , )$. One does not assume that $E$ is complete for the norm $|u| = (u, u)^{1/2}$ ($E$ is said to be a pre-Hilbert space).
Recall that the dual space $E^*$, equipped with the dual norm $||f||_E^*$, is complete. Let $T : E \rightarrow E^*$ be the map defined by $$ \langle Tu, v\rangle_{E^*,E} = (u, v) \hspace{5mm} \forall u, v \in E. $$ Check that $T$ is a linear isometry. Is $T$ surjective? Our purpose is to show that $R(T)$ is dense in $E^*$ and that $||\hspace{2mm}||_{E^*}$ is a Hilbert norm.
I don't quite understand how does $T$ work. Does it take as arguments both $u$ and $v$ or just $v$? Is it using the Riesz-Fréchet representation theorem implicitly? Is $T \in E^*$?

Hi Bill,
Some news informations about this great product ?
I need a pano head and my first choice goes to the NN5 with RD16.
But since May and your announcement, I'm waiting for your new product...
Thanks for your answer (and sorry for my bad english...)
No new word about new products - I would hope soon but then even this answer is a bit open ended. If you opted to receive emails you'll get notification once released. Also we will have a trade-in program on our website for selected items.
So is this set up here just the Ultimate M1-S and a lens ring? or is it more stuff? Would this set up also work with the RD4 rotator that comes with the r1? If so is it easy enough to remove the rotator and swap back and forth as needed? Very interested in this set up.
So you can just flip the vertical arm to shoot the nadir, like the nn5/3 nadir adapter?
am i seeing that correctly? nice!
but there is a better way using the nadir adapter.
We listen. We try harder.

White County Clerk Paula Dozier told the White County Board during its regular meeting Tuesday night the heavy use of the old books and binders at the courthouse is causing some problems.
The use of the books, many dating to the early 19th century, has increased because of the heavy leasing activity in preparation for the use of "fracking" in the area. Oil companies are leasing up millions of acres of ground in southern Illinois in anticipation of the natural gas boom that could occur here.
Dozier said copies have to be made and the process of doing that has caused many of the spines of the leather books to be damaged. She reported she has increased fees as necessary to cover the costs of replacing the expensive book coverings.
As an example, she said the clerk's office would typically generate about $72,000 per year in copy fees. After only January and February this year, the office has generated more than $80,000.
Board Chairman Wes Trout encouraged Dozier to raise rates as she saw fit to cover the expenses of book cover replacement, which can be as much as $240 each.
In other board news, county highway engineer Brian Ray was approved for rehire for six years on a 3-0 vote. Board member Mike Ray abstained from the vote and board member David Dosher was absent.
Brian reported he was traveling to Clark County to look at a used dump truck and planned to submit a bid in the neighborhood of $30,000 for the truck. He reported the money is in the budget for the needed equipment.
He also said he had talked to a highway engineer in Ohio where another natural gas and oil boom has hit with the new horizontal drilling capability. He said the oil companies are good to work with on keeping the roads maintained when their heavy trucks increase use of county roads, but he encouraged the board to start work now on writing new ordinances to cover the increased costs of road maintenance with new fees for the oil companies.
"Looks like to me it could be a really, really good thing [for the county] if we get all our ducks in a row now," Brian said.
White County Ambulance Service Director Terry McCormick reported the Norris City Ambulance Service is now defunct and he is working with their board to have some of their equipment donated to the county service and plans of stationing an ambulance in their facility in Norris City are being contemplated.
He added the Grayville Ambulance Service has entered an agreement with the Edwards County Ambulance Service to provide coverage for Grayville.
"We are covering everything south [of Grayville]," McCormick said.
Newly elected White County Coroner Chris Marsh reported he has completed the state-mandated training for new coroners.
Page 2 of 2 - The board approved funding for the Greater Wabash Regional Planning Commission, which was in the budget.
The board approved two preliminary engineering agreements for bridge repair or replacement on two county bridges: One is about a mile east of Brownsville on County Road 1100 North and the other is on 500 East near the Bob Talley home, east of Illinois 1.

I have a couple on-going conversation threads in Gmail with a number of different people. Is there a way to setup a filter so that it will add a label if the body of any new, unread email contains my name? Then remove the label once I've read the email?
migrated from superuser.com Aug 26 '11 at 17:28
This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
Remember that you can use any gmail search operator in a filter via the
I'll suggest you start by trying this:
Sorry can't help more, but until gmail filters can unapply a label, you will not be able to accomplish this via filters.
Potential work arounds would be:
Personally, I would look at #2 since learning scripting for Google Apps would pay off in the long run.
There is no search operator to restrict to the body of a message. I would recommend setting up a filter with your name in the "Has the words" field, and apply the label as your action. There is no need to add "is:unread" because filters apply to incoming messages.
Likewise you cannot remove the label via filter or take automatic action after the message has arrived. But there are a few other options that might help:
Finally, you could also consider setting up a Quick Link or a Multiple Inbox with the search query: is:unread yourname. The link or inbox would automatically update and remove messages from the view after you read them.
The first part: adding a label based on existing keyword is simple, but the second part I think is impossible, because there is no such trigger in Gmail that could cause a filtering operation once an e-mail is read.

Big fan of the Kershaw SpeedSafe opening mechanism. I've got the Volt II and have been more than pleased!
Their AOs are okay, but really bulky especially when considering many of their non-AOs open just as easily if not moreso. I have a Chill and really like it, it's a good everyday knife due to its small size.
I think the best Kershaw deal on Amazon right now is the Cryo. It's a Rick Hinderer design -- tinyurl.com/c6j3z9x
@bogus: Check out their Leek. It is extremely thin.
I own a couple Kershaws myself - my favorite, by far, is the Ken Onion Leek. It's light and has a smooth, quick action. Works great as a casual everyday carry, probably wouldn't hold up too well in a construction setting though.
I have 4 Kershaw knives, 3 of which actually belong to me. I found my brother's Onion Chive in our parents' couch, so I figured his carelessness (around small children, in particular) should result in him losing his knife. ;P I particularly like the Chive and the Burst.
I got my first Kershaw pocket knife as a gift over 20 years ago. I've still got that one and added 4 more to the collection. In my opinion, they are the best knife you can get for the money.

To help break the drought, the Brewer Organization should give out a Golden Glove Bobblehead next year.Hide replies
Now that is funny!
3 Cheers for that!
The biggest joke in professional sports are the baseball awards, it's like high school the popular people get all the recognition and if you slight them you'll pay for your entire careerHide replies
Exactly right on that one.
Thirty years without a Gold Glove . . . I detect a trend. Never saw a story this year about what Don Money's responsibilities became as special assistant to the general manager, or something to that effect. I had hoped he could make an impact -- and maybe he did -- on setting a higher defensive standard for this organization. I must add that the Brewers had a pretty solid defensive year and hope it continues or perhaps improves. I especially like Hart at first and Ramirez at third.
Using a GG drought to day the organization doesn't put an emphasis on defense. It's rarely awarded to the best defender and it's often awarded laughably. (Derek Jeter says hello)
I think you and many Brewer fans are going to be disappointed with Ramirez' defense going forward. He had a fantastic year (8.2 UZR), but this is only the second time in his career he's posted a positive UZR.
-6.3, -1.9, -6.2, -3.0, -2.1, 11.6, -3.4, -2.8, -6.5, -9.4, 8.2Hide replies
To be clear, I'm looking for a higher overall standard of defense from the organization, and the GG awards presentation is the most logical time to raise the issue. I live in Twins country, where defense is talked about a lot. Terry Ryan is back in charge here, and he won't stand for the recent slippage in Twins standards. I'd like to see a similar commitment in Milwaukee, where the most recent Gold Glove winner was a person of immense natural ability who spent only 41 games in the minors. So I'm asking the question, What does Don Money do for the Brewers now that he's free from his minor league managing job?
That's pretty disappointing when fielding % is one of the top criteria when determining the Gold Glove Award winner. I think Ramirez really proved himself on both sides of the field this season and I think he made a lot people eat their words, myself included.
The Gold Glove Award is still the most meaningless award in baseball. What a joke! It is just a way of rewarding the players the national media likes while neglecting the players they don't. Ever since they gave the Gold Glove to Derek Jeter in 2005 with a -13.4 UZR/150 and 15 errors, the award has no merit.
Some may remember Rafael Palmeiro winning the Gold Glove in 1999 while batting DH 82% of the games! Crazy, isn't it? The only way to correct the obvious bias that has been going on is to have standardized criteria for winning and cut out the opinions and favoritism of the media. If they don't, the name of the award should be changed. Aramis and Braun had a great 2012, award or no award.
Congrats to former Brewer JJ Hardy for winning his Gold Glove at SS with the Orioles.Hide replies
It's meaningless, who cares if Hardy got a gold glove.
A meaningless award anyway.
Well, defense was one of the teams' strengths. In fact, everything was OK except for the pen. The outfield was solid, with very good range. Average to good arms. Hart really helped the infield...I'd say he helped reduce ARams error total, but his throws were the most accurate from third that I've seen from a Brewer in a long time. Lucroy showed improvement; Maldanado has a cannon.
Should be able to build on that next year. It makes pitchers better. Allowing teams 4 or 5 outs in an inning is a killer.
I posted this on the Braun thread, but figured y'all would be reading this one instead:
Is 1 year of punishment going to be enough for Braun in the eyes of the fans and baseball writers?Hide replies
I think Braun will be hosed for quite a while.Unfortunately Braun was found guilty until proven innocent and still labeled guilty
Kind of an indication on how MVP voting will go for Braun also. I am sure he will keep playing at a high level and prove all the idiot voters wrong.
It is often a popuilatity award. According to the numebers ARam should have won. I can accept Braun not winning this, but the numbers indicate he should have won the Aaron Award (best offensive player) easily. Hope this is more incentive for next year.Hide replies
You could have made a case for all three of the finalists for 3B. Any of the three would have been a worthy choice, although I feel Wright should have won it. Now Carlos Gonzalez winning the LF GG when he is one of the worst defensive LF in the game, both by advanced metrics and scouting takes, that is indefensible.
The popularity contest gives extra credit to East coast players and even more points if you play for the Yankees.
While I agree, and think its obvious that Braun had the best offensive season in the NL, The Hank Aaron award is also 50 percent fan voting, right? So in my eyes, its not a real award, and is kind of like winning an all star start.
I say have certain criteria for awards and take out the opinions of voters.

I'm in need of new tires and I saw some fuel efficient/low rolling resistance tires. Is there any disadvantage to this type of tire?

Any tyre design is a balance between cost, grip, longevity, water displacement and rolling resistance. Change one, and chances are you'll adversely affect the others...
Personally, I would always put grip and water displacement (which affects wet grip) above all the others on a priority list. The difference between those "fuel efficient" tyres and normal ones will probably be only a couple more miles per gallon, but if they don't grip as well, don't last as long or cost more to buy, that small saving will quickly vanish...
TRB Special Report 286
2006 report (free PDF) by Transportation Research Board of National Academy of Science in response to request of the U.S. Congress concludes that there is no evidence that any marginal trade off in traction (possibly necessary to achieve lower rolling resistance) would make significant difference in safety, and as long as tyre conforms to UTQG (Uniform Tire Quality Grading) system (grade A wet traction rating for most passenger cars).
Same thing with tread wear. Two tyres of comparable UTQG wear rating, would get comparable mileage within the same operating conditions. As long ratings are similar, and reduced rolling resistance clearly achieved not by reducing initial tread depth.
Given those two being equal in comparing to regular tyre, and average mileage driven, at the low estimate of 1% fuel economy improvement (6 U.S. gallons per year), automobilist should see his extra investment returned within first year.
For the average driver seeking replacement tyres it makes sense to go after LRR ones, provided same UTQG ratings (or similar international standards). A lot of OEMs already use those tyres at the factory (including popular models, e.g. 2010 Ford Fusion), so direct replacements should be fine.
Information on rolling resistance is not (yet) required to be explicitly stated on the tyre or its packaging but should be easily available via spec sheet through the dealer or manufacturer (roughly, 10% improvement in RR translates in 1–2% improvement in fuel-economy).
That said, proper tyre inflation and maintenance are still important as ever both for safety and fuel economy.
Additional Information
Note on RR specification. TireRack.com tech article states:
General tips on tyre maintenance, and how to read sidewall markings (including UTQG ratings) could be found in NHTSA tyre safety brochure. For some general information on recent advances in tyre technology see this article from "The Economist". See Wikipedia article on LRR tyres for more information and some tyre ratings from Consumer Reports.
It depends a little on your driving style and the typical conditions in your area.
If you get a lot of rain, snow or ice, or you like to drive or corner at speed - don't use them. Go for high grip tyres. You are better off playing it safe than cheap.
If you live somewhere dry, with little traffic, and like to drive slowly - they could be good for you, but won't save you a huge amount. You might be better off just inflating your tyres by a couple of extra psi - this will reduce rolling resistance.
Some thing I have noticed about fuel efficient tires is they generate a lot of static electricity in cold dry climates.It can get so bad that most times I touch my key to the door prior to getting out.

Is this topic for you?
This topic is for women who have vulvodynia, a type of vulvar pain with no known cause. If your doctor has told you that the pain in your vulva is caused by something else, like an infection or a skin problem, see the topic Female Genital Problems and Injuries.
What is vulvodynia?
Vulvodynia is pain in the vulva that can't be explained by another health problem, such as an infection or a skin problem. The vulva is the area around the opening of your vagina.
The main parts of the vulva are:
See a picture of the vulva.
What causes vulvodynia?
Doctors don't know the exact cause of vulvodynia. But some things that may help cause it include:
In most cases, vulvar pain is a symptom of some other problem. And when that problem is treated, the pain often goes away. Some conditions that may cause vulvar pain include yeast infections and other vaginal infections, atrophic vaginitis, lichen sclerosus, lichen planus, or an allergic reaction to soaps or other products, such as vaginal sprays or douches.
What are the symptoms?
Pain is the main symptom of vulvodynia. Depending on the person, the pain may:
Other symptoms may include:
How is vulvodynia diagnosed?
Your doctor will first ask you about your past health, your sexual history, and your symptoms. Then he or she will do a pelvic exam to rule out other possible causes for your pain, such as an infection or a skin problem.
During the exam, your doctor may use a cotton swab to touch different areas on and around your vulva to see where the pain is and how bad it is. If he or she sees a problem or any skin changes, you may need a biopsy. This means that your doctor will remove a small piece of tissue from your vulva and send it to a lab to be studied for the cause of your pain. Your doctor may also recommend an exam called a colposcopy to take a closer look at the cells on your vulva.
If a cause for your pain is not found, you may have vulvodynia.
How is it treated?
There are many treatments for vulvodynia, but what works for someone else may not help you. Work with your doctor to find what is best for you. Even though there is no cure, treatment can help you feel better and lead a full and active life.
Treatment may include:
There are other things you can try to relieve your symptoms:
How can you live better with vulvodynia?
When you have vulvodynia, you may find it hard to do your daily tasks. It may hurt to walk, exercise, or sit for long periods of time. And it may hurt to have sex. All of these things can affect your life, work, and relationships.
At times you may feel overwhelmed, tired, and angry. These feelings are normal. Most women who have vulvar pain feel this way at one time or another.
Even though living with vulvar pain can be stressful, the good news is that you can do some simple things to feel better.

I'd like to take my executive desk ( now sewing table) and cut out a piece of it to use as a support for my sewing machine. I want the sewing machine support able to lower the machine to table height, which would enable me to have everything level and I'd be able to sew faster. I'd like it to be mechanical and not air powered. Support needs to be able to swing back up to table height when machine is not in use and must be able to lock in place.
All ideas and links appreciated

Flag Holder for Bimini Tops - Kwik Tek
It's been difficult for boaters with bimini tops to display water sports flags effectively, until now. Instead of manually holding the flag below the canvas top, your flag will fly above the top, enabling other boaters to see it. It also frees your hands to tend to other activities. It is crafted from polished anodized aluminum. Attach it in seconds to one of your boat's bimini top support poles with the 2 zip ties included. The soft polymer caps are designed to eliminate rattling. Designed to be used with Airhead's new 4' water sports flags, not included. Also great for pylon extensions.

With regards to Plymouth --
Are there alternative boot screens available?
What's the easiest way to change the boot screen?
With regards to Plymouth --
Are there alternative boot screens available?
What's the easiest way to change the boot screen?
You can get a list of themes available via the repositories through Synaptic Package Manager or through the command line via
You can then install the resulting packages via Synaptic or aptitude as normal:
If you're looking for something not in the repositories, UbuntuGeek has an excellent tutorial on how to install and create your own custom Plymouth themes.
To change between the installed themes you should do:
The first will list available themes to choose from, the second command with update initramfs with a new theme.
Getting Started Guide
Editing Plymouth
You can edit Plymouth with a simple text editor for animations and images. This is Ubuntu version agnostic.
Make a template.
First you will get a template that covers all the basic aspects of a Plymouth. Change
Customize file names.
Now you can change some names to help identify our theme from others.
Edit image files.
Use your image editor of choice to alter the png images. I like GIMP for quick edits.
Here is an example of my alterations:
Edit the configuration files.
1) Set up theme information file.
Edit lines 2, 7, and 8 and change ubuntu logo to you theme name.
2) Start-up terminal color. (Optional)
Change it from purple to something else.
Edit line 1 with RGB color code.
A good site to help you is Color-Hex. I am just going to make mine black.
3) The script file to apply theme changes.
There is many different aspects to this file that you can change to customize your plymouth boot theme. If you wish to do more advanced changes you should study it. I am only showing how to change the background color, logo, and status indicator.
Edit lines 169, 170, 174, and 180 to change the background gradient and images you edited earlier.
Send your theme folder.
Set Plymouth configuration to use theme.
Restart to watch it in action.
To add to the Getting Started Guide answer, for those still using those steps and trying to work out those weird colour settings in the my-theme.script file, this colour chooser can assist you.
A nice blue theme colour:
Linux Variant: 11.71875, 33.59375, 58.59375 (this is what we want)
So you would use:
Window.SetBackgroundTopColor (0.117, 0.335, 0.585);
Window.SetBackgroundBottomColor (0.117, 0.335, 0.585);

New city and county leaders were chosen in local elections yesterday.
But one race in Kingston was still undecided when the polls closed.
Candidates Leonard Nail and Kenneth Howard tied for the second Kingston town trustee seat receiving 57 votes a piece.
Nail said he didn't see this coming.
"It just kind of ticked me," said Nail. "I feel like that the people have decided that half of them want me, half of them want him."
And Howard said it didn't faze him.
"I don't get excited about anything or down about anything," said Howard. "I looked at it and said, 'Ok, let's see where it goes from here.'"
The Marshall County Election Board said both candidates have until 5 p.m. Friday to ask for a recount. But both men said they do not plan to ask for one.
If neither asks--or if a recount shows the same results--the election board said that they will draw names to decide who'll be the next town trustee.
"The chance doesn't bother me, but it is an elected office." said Howard. "I would prefer to have a runoff just so the people can choose who they put in there."
But the election board said there isn't a provision for a runoff. Nail said he doesn't mind letting luck factor in.
"If it's decided by that, that's fine with me," said Nail. "I have no problem with it."

What is the ISO setting on my camera? What does it represent? What should I be aware of with regards to ISO when taking photographs
Changing the ISO setting in digital camera's is like changing the gain (amplification) of your photo sensors. With a low ISO setting (e.g. 100) you don't amplify the signal from the sensors. But using a high ISO setting (e.g. 1600) results in an amplification of the signals registered by the sensors. A high ISO setting usually results in more noise in your images so try to keep the ISO as low as possible.
This article explains various sources of image noise: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_noise
The ISO number represents the sensitivity of the film material. You need to configure the right ISO number in order to obtain the fight brightness of your photos because the camera will adjust the time of exposure, size of opening and/or flash in the appropriate way.
Newer cameras are able to read the ISO number from the label on the film role.
The ISO number (sometimes ASA) is a standardised measurement of how sensitive the film (or digital sensor) is.
Higher ISO film tended to have more grain; and higher ISO digital shots exhibit more noise - a similar cause, but the visual appearance is different.
Digital ISO noise is related to the size of each pixel, as the noise is per-pixel (so the more pixels you have, the less obvious noise is when viewed the same size). One analogy I've used in the past to demonstrate this is to ask several people to time with a stopwatch how long it takes a car to drive around a car park, and then to time how long a person takes to do the same journey - because the person is slower, the margin of error is a smaller in proportion to the overall figure, even though different people will give timings to within a few seconds of each other.
The name "ISO" is the official logo of the International Organization for Standards. The French version of the name, Organisation internationale de normalisation, arranges the four words in a different order for proper syntax in french. The letters "ISO" correspond to neither arrangement.
From Wikipedia:
The ISO has written many technical standards, technical reports, technical specifications, etc. Each of these is assigned a number by the ISO. Three standards that apply to the sensitivity of photographic film are ISO 6, ISO 2240, and ISO 5800. Over time, a film's speed was referred to as its "ISO" because the number used to describe the film's speed was in compliance with the ISO standards cited above.
With digital cameras, "ISO" has continued to be used as a way of expressing a digital camera's sensitivity to light at various amplification levels of the analog electrical signals coming from pixel sites on the camera's sensor. In theory, an ISO setting of 400 on your digital camera should result in an exposure equivalent to an exposure on ISO 400 film. Film sensitivities varied slightly from one film manufacturer to the next. A film that had an actual value of, for example, 388 based on the ISO standards would be marketed as "400 speed". Likewise, most digital cameras vary slightly at different ISO settings from the exact standard. At least one company, DxO, publishes test results for many cameras. If you go to the link and select the "measurements" tab you can see that the actual ISO can vary by as much as 1/2 a stop for the three entry level camera bodies I selected.
The primary thing regarding ISO you should be aware of when taking pictures is that the higher ISO number you select, the "noisier" your image will be. Noise is an electrical signal from a pixel that was caused by anything other than light falling on it. When the signal from a sensor is amplified to increase ISO this noise is amplified as well. As your camera (or processing software on your computer) processes the signals from your sensor, certain measures are applied to smooth out the noise. Most cameras have settings that allow you to select how much noise reduction you want applied to the images you shoot. The downside to heavy use of noise reduction is that it also reduces the sharpness of the image at the pixel-to-pixel level. Because of this, it is best practice to shoot with the lowest ISO number that allows you to select the aperture and shutter speed combinations you desire. On the other hand, a blurry image due to a too slow shutter speed can't be fixed in processing. A noisy image that stopped the motion of your subject can be dealt with to a degree. The larger you intend to display the image, the more noise becomes an issue.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) - The Faith United Methodist Church in Bowling Green held their annual Easter Cantada which included a traditional prayer service and a little fun for the kids after.
After the service, families made their way outside for an Easter Egg Hunt. Parents watched as children's baskets were filled to the brim. The church says it's all about spending fun quality time with family on the Easter holiday.
"We like to do what we can to help make church interesting for the them and it's just a fun time for them and they win prizes and they like to hunt the eggs and get the candy," says Pat Reynolds.
The church says their Junior and Senior High youth groups were busy the last couple days stuffing hundreds of eggs for the hunt.

The Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce presented its 2012 year-end awards today.
Those who volunteer for the Chamber were recognized in three categories -- Ambassador of the Year, Board Volunteer of the Year, and Volunteer of the Year.
The winners were chosen based on the time and the leadership they dedicated to the Chamber of Commerce.
"There are just so many volunteers that need to be thanked. It was a little bit of shock and a little bit of panic," said Volunteer of the Year winner, Cathy Palmer.
"There are a lot of wonderful board members and I am just very pruned and honored to be given this designation," said Board Volunteer of the Year winner, Joy Rogers.
"I was just absolutely overwhelmed and I was telling people afterwards I said, 'You know I make a living out of speaking, and you've caught me in one rare moment where I was speechless,'" Ambassador of the Year winner, Skip Wirth said.
The winners will be recognized again on February 12th at the Chamber's 2013 Annual Dinner.

Let $Z$ be a compact, connected, orientable (Edit: as Misha point out) and locally Riemannian symmetric space. As a complete, simple connected, locally symmetric space is a global symmetric space. We can write $Z=\Gamma \backslash G/K$. One of such $(G,K)$ is $G=\mathrm{Iso}(\widetilde{Z})$,$K$ is the stablizer of a point in $\widetilde{Z}$.
My question is, if $\widetilde{Z}$ is of non compact type, can we always choose $(G,K,\Gamma)$ such that
- $G,K$ is connected.
- $\Gamma\subset G$ closed discrete?
If not, under what natural condition, $Z$ is this type.
One of naive choice is to take $G=\mathrm{Iso}^0(\widetilde{Z})$, but it is to always true that $\Gamma\subset \mathrm{Iso}^0(\widetilde{Z})$.
Edit: I pose this question because in papers of H. Moscovici and R.J. Stanton http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2FBF01393895 http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2FBF01232263 where proved the result for this type of space(maybe I missed something) but state the theorem for locally symmetric space.

I am using Eclipse 3.7SR2 and I have an issue with the Java editor spell-checker marking e-mail addresses:
Perhaps I am a bit obsessive, but I really dislike seeing those red blots - if not for any other reason, then just because real spelling errors could be missed in the crowd.
Is there a way to fix this on a permanent basis without disabling spell-checking completely?
Adding the "word" in question (e.g.
@example.com) to the user dictionary manually and restarting Eclipse does not seem to solve this issue.

PITTSBURGH - The Ottawa Senators lost a lot more than a game.
Star defenseman Erik Karlsson went down with a left Achilles injury when he was cut by a skate blade late in the second period in the Senators' 4-2 loss to Pittsburgh on Wednesday night.
"It's a tough blow," Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson said. "Obviously, the way he's playing and how much he means to our team, it feels terrible and I feel really bad for him."

TAKING A BREAK — Pittsburgh center Sidney Crosby, right, and left wing James Neal sit on the bench during the third period against Ottawa in Pittsburgh Wednesday. Neal scored two goals and Crosby had a goal and two assists as the Penguins won, 4-2.
-- Associated Press
The Norris Trophy winner last season as the NHL's top defenseman, Karlsson was cut by Penguins forward Matt Cooke's skate blade as the two tangled along the boards. The Senators said Karlsson will need surgery.
"We all know who's involved in it," Ottawa coach Paul MacLean said about Cooke. "That's just the way it is. The injury to Erik was unfortunate and it happens on a nothing play that could've potentially been whistled down."
Cooke has been suspended several times for much criticized hits, some of them involving head-shots that injured opposing players. In 2011, Cooke was suspended for the Penguins' final 10 regular-season games and the first round of the Playoffs after an elbow to the head of New York Rangers' defenseman Ryan McDonagh.
Karlsson fell to the ice and was in visible pain after tangling with Cooke. He needed help getting back to the bench and displayed frustration, throwing his stick against the boards before disappearing down the runway.
"Him and I were engaged and he went down screaming," Cooke said. "I didn't even know what happened. It's a complete accident and obviously I feel terrible about it. It has happened a few times over the past couple years and it's scary."
The Senators stood up for their teammate in the third as Chris Neil took penalties for roughing and a 10-minute misconduct after tussling with Cooke.
"I think at the end of the day you kind of expect it," Penguins star Sidney Crosby said. "I don't think anyone was shocked to see Neil go after him, but unfortunately that's kind of how it works sometimes."
James Neal scored twice, and Crosby had a goal and two assists to help Penguins snap a two-game losing streak and pull within a point of Eastern Conference-leading New Jersey. The Devils swept Pittsburgh in a home-and-home series over the weekend.
"We had two tough games against New Jersey and after those two losses we wanted to have a good bounce-back game and we did that tonight," Neal said.
Pascal Dupuis also scored for Pittsburgh, Paul Martin had two assists, and Marc-Andre Fleury made 26 saves.
Stephane Da Costa scored his first goal of the season, and Jim O'Brien also scored for Ottawa. The Senators lost for the fifth time in seven games.
The loss of the Karlsson is a major blow for the Senators, already playing without center Jason Spezza and left wing Milan Michalek. Spezza is out indefinitely after surgery for a herniated disk, and Michalek was a late scratch Wednesday because of a lower-body injury.
"He's a player who is irreplaceable," Senators goalie Craig Anderson said. "It's unfortunate, but there are no words that can explain what we're feeling."
Ottawa, behind Anderson's 42-save effort, shut out Buffalo on Tuesday night at home, but couldn't carry the momentum to Pittsburgh. Anderson stopped 25 shots Wednesday.
Penguins defenseman Kris Letang returned after missing three games because of a groin injury. He was paired with Matt Niskanen, who also returned after missing eight games with an ankle injury.
Both goalies were strong early as the teams combined for 26 first-period shots. The Penguins scored the lone goal of the opening period, the 11th time in 14 games Pittsburgh scored first.
Dupuis one-timed his fifth of the season behind Anderson with 3:37 left in the period, taking a cross-ice feed from Crosby, who set up the goal after pouncing on Chris Neil's turnover at the blue line.
The Senators took the lead with goals scored 24 seconds apart.
The first came just as a two-man advantage expired as Da Costa, from behind the net, banked a shot off the back of Fleury's pads that trickled across the goal line.
O'Brien gave the Senators the lead 24 seconds later with a wrist shot from the faceoff dot that caromed off Fleury's glove and bounced into the net.
"I was not happy with giving up two so quick, but I knew if I made some key saves for the guys, they would get them back," Fleury said.
And that's exactly what happened.
Neal tied it less than 3 minutes later with his NHL-leading sixth power-play goal, the sixth straight game the Penguins scored with the man advantage. Crosby recorded his 400th career assist on the goal, sending a pass from the corner to Neal, who unleashed a wrist shot over Anderson's shoulder from the faceoff dot.
Neal gave the Penguins the lead for good 1:52 into the third period, tapping the rebound from Deryk Engelland's shot from the point past a sprawled Anderson.
"I've often said if you're going to make a book on a shooter and a guy getting open, just watch (Neal) play the game," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. "He has an elite release when he gets the opportunity."
Crosby's sixth of the season, coming seconds after a Senators' penalty expired, put the Penguins ahead by two goals midway through the third.
NOTES: The Penguins traded LW Eric Tangradi to Winnipeg for a seventh-round draft pick Wednesday. ... C Dustin Jeffrey and D Robert Bortuzzo were scratched for Pittsburgh. ... Penguins' C Brandon Sutter appeared in his 300th career game. ... Ottawa continues a three-game trip, visiting Toronto on Saturday night, while the Penguins open a two-game road swing Friday night at Winnipeg.

Orthostatic Hypotension and Yoga
Author: Richard Weil, MEd, CDE
Medical Editor: Jay W. Marks, MD
Viewer Question: I sometimes feel dizzy while doing some yoga stretches where the head is lower than the heart (like downward facing dog). What types of exercise should you avoid when you have low blood pressure?
Fitness Expert's Response: The medical term for your condition is orthostatic hypotension. It typically occurs in situations like you are describing when there is a sudden change in posture, particularly so when the head rises from below the heart, but it can also happen from a supine or prone position when the head is level with the heart. The reason it happens is that circulation (blood pressure) isn't forceful enough to return adequate blood to the brain and so there is a moment of dizziness. The danger is that you can pass out, and so you need to take precautions to avoid the problem.

Michelle Williams says she and Kelly Rowland aren't performing with their former Destiny's Child partner Beyonce at the Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans.
The album sparked reports that the three will reunite on stage when headliner Beyonce performs the Super Bowl halftime show next month.
But Williams told WRUG Media the buzz about an upcoming reunion is not true.
"I'm going to be in the musical 'Fela!,'" she said, referring to the stage production's upcoming world tour. "I hate to disappoint the people and tell them that it's not true. ... I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry."

Deputies: Man steals neighbor's underwear after diet of drugs, alcohol and Red Bull
Published: Wednesday, June 18, 2014 at 5:36 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 18, 2014 at 11:22 a.m.
Red Bull, diet pills, pot and more fueled a Manatee County man to crawl through an attic access and steal from a neighbor recently, he reportedly told authorities.
Michael Hearns, 33, told deputies that he knew what he was doing was wrong, but pinned the blame for the Saturday heist on a brew of drugs, alcohol and energy drinks, according to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.
To boot, Hearns told deputies he crashed through the attic after the burglary.
Investigators learned of the incident Saturday after the alleged victim called in to complain a neighbor had burglarized her home in the 4200 block of 53rd Avenue West, a sheriff's office press release noted.
Deputies eventually made contact with that neighbor, Hearns. When questioned, he confessed to the break-in, during which he grabbed tools and undergarments that he could reach from the attic, according to reports.

My question is in regards to this patent. They are claiming that their method of exclusive or'ing a set of vectors to estimate camera network topology. Is it fundamentally valid to patent such a method for anything?
As I can see, all this patent claims is that: If one cameras field of view (window), is occupied, and simulatenously another cameras field of view isn't, then they are not connected.
I think this is just logic which can be applied to anything. What do you guys think?

WACO (October 2, 2012)—A McGregor man has bonded out of jail after being charged with impersonating a public servant.
Milton Jay Boyle, 53, was released Monday after posting a $5,000 bond.
McLennan County Sheriff Deputies arrested Boyle on Monday after they found a man stopping traffic on Interstate 35 in an unmarked vehicle that had a police light bar on top.
Deputies pulled up behind the man when they saw him stopped behind another vehicle to assist in what they thought was a traffic stop by a police officer.
When they questioned the man, however, they learned that he is a member on an area rescue team but is not a certified peace officer.
The man said he stopped the other driver to try to get him to slow down.

Resolving Family Conflicts
In This Article:
There are always conflicts, and that's a good thing! When effectively resolved, conflicts between people can lead to improved understanding and increased closeness. Here are some general tips for resolving conflict (and we'll get into specifics in a moment):
- Listen, listen, listen.
- Use "I" statements to express your feelings and perspectives.
- Don't interrupt.
- You can ask questions to clarify, but stay away from "why." ("How" is a better choice.)
- Keep your arguments in the present, and stay specific.
- Don't dig up old dirt from the past.
- Avoid "globalizing" the argument (by using words such as always, never, or should).
- Taboo subjects are taboo—there are certain nasty comments that are off-limits in all relationships.
- Keep your requests for behavior changes very specific. Don't ask for a personality transplant.
The Four Ways of Resolving Conflict
When you and your child are having a conflict, there are four basic ways the conflict can be resolved:
- You can decide how to resolve the conflict. This is the "because I say so," unilateral approach to conflict resolution. It may work, but Junior isn't going to feel any kind of satisfaction.
- Junior can be the winner of the big decision-making contest. It's he who decides the outcome of the conflict. Feel good? I doubt it.
- You have the option of resolving the conflict through compromise. If you com-promise, you give a little, Junior gives a little, and you come to an agreement. Neither of you necessarily feels great about it, though.
- Ah, problem-solving! You and Junior can collaborate for a "win-win" (as they say in business school). Yup, it sometimes takes some time to get here, but doesn't it feel good? You bet!

The Super Bowl's First Play Is Always Lame
The Super Bowl may be the biggest spectacle in sports, but there is one area in which it rarely produces much action: the first play of the game.
Through Sunday's game, the opening play from scrimmage has produced an average of three yards—the most common play being a run up the middle.
In 28 of the 47 Super Bowls, the first play was a run, with those plays accounting for just 81 yards (3.0 per carry). Teams that passed on the first play fared little better. The 19 pass plays to start the Super Bowl have produced just nine completions for 56 yards, one sack and a 10-yard scramble, for an average of 3.2 yards per play.
On Sunday, the 49ers threw a 20-yard pass but had it called back by penalty; they then ran for no gain.
Players and coaches say the uninspired play calling to start the game is partly a way to combat big-game nerves. It is also true that attempting something too fancy on the first play of the game can lead to trouble.
The most exotic opening play in Super Bowl history came in 1978, when Dallas called a double-reverse. The Cowboys fumbled the ball, lost nine yards on the play and duly went three-and-out.
The numbers suggest that playing it safe on the first play may be a smart move. Before this year's game, teams that called a run on the opening play were 17-10 in Super Bowls, while teams that attempted a pass were 6-13.

Zombie Target - Lost and Found : Targets Online , Its Time For A Better Target for $0.74
Weather Resistant Lifelike Zombie Targets direct from the manufacturer.
Targets Online Weather Resistant Card Stock Realistic Lifelike Zombie Targets are more than twice the thickness of normal paper targets. However, thicker paper alone is not what makes our Card Stock Zombie Targets better than the competition. Our Card Stock Zombie Targets also have a coating and a binding material incorporated into the wood fibers. This dramatically increases their strength, durability, wind and water resistance. As a result, our Card Stock Targets reduce the natural tendency of paper fibers to explode outward when struck with a bullet. The binding material helps hold the shape of the bullets impact, making it easier to identify every shot in a tight pattern. Our targets are also less likely to tear away from their backer through staples. Finally, our Card Stock Zombie Targets can be used outdoors in the rain, without becoming a soggy mess.

The girl one looks too much like Sophia.
That is the point... the rainbow shirt... the sub-title "lost and found"... 100% Sophia reference.
Those are the most realistic looking zombie targets I have ever seen!
