The round will go in when I place it into the chamber, and the bolt will close with no problems WITHOUT a round in the chamber.
If I place a round in the chamber, and let the bolt carrier go, it locks into place exactly where it should. However, that's when I have to OOMPH the carrier back to get the round back out. I have tried this with several rounds and examined the rounds afterwards, there are NO markings on the casings showing that they are being forced past the chamber mouth/end or anything else.
Hummm, thats a tough one. I can see why you are tempted to just go ahead and test fire it.

The bolt is having bolt-over bullet failure when stripping off the magazines though. About 1 or 2 in every 10 rounds.

One of the problems in politics is the tendency to focus on the past instead of the future.
Kristallnacht is one such example.
In Keene they're having a commeration of this event showing how German National Socialists did such things like breaking glass and burning books as the start of the Holocaust that has been broadcasted and cinematized across everywhere to every human being that has access to the media for all time.
Let's move beyond the politics, power and the history of Judaism and focus on New Hampshire:
I'll now make a statement and try to substantiate it: "New Hampshire doesn't ban books, New Hampshire doesn't burn books. Instead it relies on the global economy and unpaid citizen legislators to do this work instead."
Tonight I went to my local library to ascertain a book that I know exists across numerous libraries in New Hampshire: including Manchester and the University of New Hampshire (UNH). The name of the book: Civilization: The West And The Rest by Niall Ferguson. (2012).
I've requested new books before and it's usually at most two weeks by the NH Interlibrary Loan System.
Guess what I was told tonite: Six Months.
That's right. Apparently, financial cuts to the NH State Library and the ILL system including the vans that move the books to the libraries has been "significantly reduced."
Six month wait time for a book. Why burn the book download it on amazon.com.
So a big thank you to Representatives like Steve Vailliancourt who I know is a big supporter of the the NH State Library and the ILL system. I also hope that when Katrina Swett gives her moving speech in Keene about the horrors of the holocaust and all that the Jewish have endured will take a few brief moments to speak about what is happening in her own state.
Better yet use her money, power and influence to do something about it.

It's a real estate developer's sugar-plum dream: a mega-shopping mall complete with 10 Broadway-style theaters, an indoor river, a Tuscan village and a 39-story luxury hotel sheathed in green solar panels shaped like giant blades of grass. Plus as much as $1 billion in government-backed financing, thanks in part to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton....
...Since taking office in 2001, Clinton has delivered $500 million worth of earmarks that have specifically benefited 59 corporations. About 64% of those corporations provided funds to her campaigns through donations made by employees, executives, board members or lobbyists, a review by the Los Angeles Times shows.

Memphis City Schools' investigation into the transcript change of former Auburn running back Jovon Robinson is closed, according to the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
Wooddale High School counselor Valerie Starks-Sykes was said to have admitted making a grade change in Memphis school internal emails, according to the newspaper. The investigation found no other school employee was involved.
"Unless the District is presented with new evidence, we consider the matter to be closed," interim MCS superintendent Dorsey Hopson wrote in an email to the newspaper.
Robinson signed with Auburn last February and participated in the early stages of fall practice before the NCAA questioned his academic standing and eventually ruled him ineligible.

Are you a troll? That is the most anti-primal diet I've seen anyone post here.
Nvm I read some more lol.
Well if you want a diet low in PUFA's then get rid of the almonds, peanuts, avocados, and (maybe) olive oil.
Buckwheat is also a grain. Quinoa is fine, but borderline. Personally I have problems digesting it. Why don't you eat sweet potatoes instead?
You need more calories to build muscle. You're already getting plenty of protein and (more than enough?) carbs, so increase your fats.

Excellent 4.4 /5 from 388 reviews
It s very bad. They are nt profesional. Chech under bed. You will see how much dirty!! When you order it take hour after 5 call to ne ready always!!!
nothing too special. Standard Hilton Hotel. fair to good. limited on restaurant options. jyst a starbux. food in the restaurant. .sports pub and bar was fair only. nearest places to walk. ear is to fast food us half a mile away. more suitable fur convention type stays. hallway smells of cigarettes smoke. once agai5, the hotel staff..reception to housekeeping were teriffic. I wouldent stay here for vacation travel. conferences, meetings r ok.
The hotel is older but very nicely kept. We loved the pool next to the lake and the walking trail. Our rooms were clean and parking was free. The only thing was our rooms got a little humid at night even with the AC. That's Dallas for you!
Nice big room, very clean, we enjoyed our stay for the 30 annual Grapefest!
We really enjoyed our weekend stay at this hotel (end of July). Great hotel for the price. We liked that there was an indoor and outdoor pool for the kids, and how close the mall, legoland, and resteraunts were. I would stay again.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

In response to an article on CNN saying that pornography and video games are "ruining a generation" of men, French makes an excellent observation and one that I think bears repeating:
Look, I know that many, many men and boys spend too much time gaming. There are also many, many men and boys who spend too much time watching television, playing golf, or obsessing over sports (and sometimes all of the above) — you name the diversion, and you'll find people who indulge in excess. But it's a category error to equate games and porn. To do so exaggerates the danger of games and minimizes the evil of porn. So if I stay up too late Saturday night playing Diablo 3 (and I probably will!), is that remotely comparable to downloading porn? Simply put, overuse of video games is destructive. Any use of porn is sinful. (emphasis added)
Once again, I find myself defending video game usage, even though it's a subject I'm not very passionate about. I simply don't like false equivalencies.
French also asks a question which I think is apropos:
What's next? An article proclaiming that women are ruined by adultery and Pinterest?
I think we know that the answer to the question is no. Pinterest, Facebook, and blogging aren't addictive, or subversive at all. Nope.

KOCHVILLE TOWNSHIP, MI — Fans of author James Joyce now have the opportunity at Saginaw Valley State University learn even more about the 20th century Irish author.
The family of Dr. George A. Ellis, a Saginaw physician who died in 2010, donated a collection of more than 350 books written by or relating to Joyce. Some of the books are first editions.
The books should soon be in circulation.
"(The collection) is substantial not only in number but also in depth," said James Sullivan, an English professor at SVSU.
Sullivan has taught two upper division courses on Joyce.
"Joyce has long been considered one of our literary giants," he said. "Together with Kafka and Proust, Europeans mark his texts among the milestones of modern literature."
Three of Joyce's four volumes were recently been ranked among the top literary works of the 20th century, Sullivan said. Those novels are 'Dubliners,' 'Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man,' and 'Ulysses.'
Most of the books are copies of those works and critical commentary on them, he said.
Ellis traveled to Dublin, Ireland to attend Joyce seminars and build his collection. His son, Ronan Ellis of El Dorado Hill, Calif., donated the collection on behalf of the family.
SVSU will thank the family with a plaque.
Sullivan said the collection will help students studying the author.
"For students, the collection makes available the sort of depth needed to pursue serious study of one of the giants of the modern temper," he said. "In the future, we can expect a variety of research papers as well as honors theses being generated by this treasure trove. Students will no longer have to travel to distant sources to venture forth on a writer that never fails to surprise, and to reward study."
Next year marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of 'Dubliners' and the first installments of 'Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man'.

The folks at the Personal Telco Project spotted this bid notice on the city of Portland's Web site last night, in which the city asks contractors to bid on removing MetroFi's abandoned Wi-Fi equipment.
The city estimates the cost at $200,000, well north of the prior estimate I'd collected.
(To see the actual bid notice, you need to register with Portland as a vendor. But city hall blogger Jack Bogdanski has the whole thing on his site.)
The city hasn't returned my calls seeking details on how it arrived at its figure, so I called Stan Heil, co-owner of Heil Electric Co. in SE Portland, who provided my original, $66,000 estimate of what it would cost to take down an estimated 440 antennas affixed to streetlights and other property the city does not own. (City crews are taking down some Wi-Fi equipment installed on city property.)
After further consideration, Heil said, Portland's current estimate may be in the ballpark.
"Most of these antennas are pretty simple," he said. All it takes, according to Heil, is a bucket truck and a skilled technician to disconnect the u-bolt that affixes the antenna to the streetlight and unhook the Wi-Fi equipment's electrical connection.
"But some of these are a little more involved," he said. "They're in the middle of intersections. You're going to need flaggers and all that. That's where the expense is really going to pile up."
Heil Electric is still considering whether to bid on the city's project, he said.
Portland spent about $267,000 on the Wi-Fi project, plus staff time. MetroFi claimed it spent between $2 million and $3 million installing the antennas.
The company did put up a $30,000 bond to offset the cost of removal, but it's been clear for some time that won't cover the whole thing. And don't look for any more from MetroFi -- the defunct startup is a dry hole.
Once the Wi-Fi equipment is down, at least some of it will go to Personal Telco, which hopes to repurpose it.
Update, 4:48 p.m.: Talked late today with city technology staffer Logan Kleier, who shepherded the Wi-Fi project. He said the $200,000 figure was a rough guess, deliberately on the high side, representing the maximum the removal could cost.
Logan said he's not sure whether the city studied the question before commissioning the network, a decision that was made before he joined the bureau.

The lawyer who represented the husband of the Indian maid, Sangeeta Richard, is one Tariq Adeeb. He represented Philip Richard, when Richard filed a case against Devyani Khobragade, the Indian diplomat who hired Sangeeta as her nanny in New York.
After Sangeeta absconded from the Devyani Khobragade house-hold, taking some cash, a blackberry phone, two SIM cards, a metro card worth about $130, and some documents including contracts and a signed receipt-book-cum-work-hour-log, according to the Mail Online, India ($200 in this account, which has no reference).
Later, Philip, still in Delhi, went to the Delhi High Court to retaliate against Khobragade.
Philip Richard's lawyer at the Delhi High Court was Tariq Adeeb, a Muslim activist-lawyer who belongs to the Human Rights Law Network in India, a vast national networks of activists and lawyers, pursuing social justice (that is, extensive redistributive and welfare schemes) under the rubric of "indivisible human rights."
A close look at the funding of the HRLN shows that it is far from being a true private agency.
The names of its donors is a roll-call of the most prominent family foundations (MacArthur, Ford) supporting Western state interests. In addition, there are a number of embassies (Dutch, Swedish) and governments (Irish, Swiss) represented, the UN (UN High Commissioner for Refugees), as well as other rights groups.
It was through this Western-elite backed network and its contacts in the church and US embassy that the Sangeeta Richard case was drummed up and manipulated to create an "anti-trafficking" case that would highlight the agenda demanded by the strategic goals of a "color revolution" (based on the twin themes of "modern slavery" and "anti-trafficking) targeting India sponsored by the CIA.

"Legislature faces an impossible taskThe Washington State Legislature gathered in Olympia Monday for what promises to be one of the most tumultuous sessions in history, thanks to Initiative 695.The 10th Districts contingent, Reps. Dave Anderson and Kelly Barlean and Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen, and the rest will be struggling with a $750 million annual hole in the state budget. Thats roughly how much the motor vehicle excise tax raked in, until I-695 cut it back to a measly $30 per vehicle.We do not envy the legislators their task. Gov. Gary Locke has already stated that he will fight to maintain education funding at its present level. If he prevails, that means the rest of the budget will be susceptible to major cuts.The theory of cutting state spending sound attractive, but when put into practice it hurts. Whidbey Islanders need good roads, good transit, and good ferry service, and we want our natural resources protected and enhanced -- keep our state parks and increase our salmon runs, for example, and dont cut and sell the trees on state-owned lands.We also want education funding to remain the same or even grow, and we dont want any of our poor people to go without shelter and basic medical care.Besides all that, most of us probably want a property tax break, and were unlikely to approve any major change in how taxes are collected. Increasing the sales tax or gas tax may well be voted down, and instigating a state income tax has no chance at all. Any such proposals would require a public vote, thanks to I-695.All our legislators have to do is maintain or improve existing services by spending far less money than was available last year. Can this be done? A cow could just as likely jump over the moon. Its simply impossible.The Legislature will simply have to prioritize spending to fund the most essential service, and leave any extras such as parks, ferries and road improvements up to the voters. After all, the voters gave them little choice when they approved I-695."

MOBILE, Alabama -- Enjoy a display of top-notch versions of Alabama's state flower at the Camellia Club of Mobile's 73rd annual show, Jan. 19-20 at Bel Air Mall.
The show will feature blooms grown protected (grown indoors) and unprotected (grown outdoors). The 2013 show is dedicated to the memory of former club president Harry "Pat" Ryan and his wife, Joann.
The camellas will be on display on Saturday, Jan. 19, from 2 to 7 p.m., and Sunday, Jan. 20, from noon to 4 p.m. at Bel Air Mall's entrance hall next to Target.
The show chairman is Walter Creighton. Awards will be given in categories ranging from Best Large to Very Large Japonica to Best Plate of 5 (blooms) to the Sweepstakes Award.
The First Lady's Trophy will be presented for the award-winning bloom selected from the Alabama Garden Growers entries. The award, first given three years ago, is in memory of Dolores Oates.
The Camellia Club of Mobile was organized in 1940, and held its first show in 1941. The stated purpose of the club is to promote interest in camellias, including providing information on growing them.
The show is an American Camellia Society Co-operative show. For more information, go to www.mobilecamellia.org.

Nu Latin Mixtape!
by Marcus Doucette
A bevy of distinctly different Latin Sounds from the last Sunday of November in the Sound Travels Mixtape. And by different, I really mean to call out the tendency most of us have with dealing with music from other cultures, often boiling it down to denominators that these days carry less weight. I mean Latin music can be all salsa, merengue, etc… but these days, Latin music is a far broader experience and this mix puts all of this together for a listen that I hope will intrigue and inspire. If you missed it, here it is again in it's entirety…

Sometime in October, Doug Start will walk out of the business his father and grandfather started 57 years ago, handing the keys over to the proprietors of a new venture and saying so long to a bygone era.
"The days of the mom and pop shop are done," he says with a sigh.
Start, 52, will continue as the sole owner and employee of Start's Blind & Shade Shop but will move the enterprise to his home in Plainfield Township. The low-key operation will be a startling contrast to the heydays when the business on Grandville Avenue throbbed with so many patrons, there was hardly time for lunch.
"We used to see 30, maybe 40 people a day," recalls the married father of two grown sons. "Now, I'm lucky to see 30 people in a month. "When I bought a new computer last year, I told (the installer) to make sure there's solitaire on there."
Start is to blinds and shades what the Maytag repairman is to washers and dryers -- downright lonely. On the day I visited, he told me, "I've only had one person in here all morning." He paused. "No, wait," he added. "Two, if you include the mailman."
Start's was founded right after World War II, out of a little shed behind Doug's grandfather's home on Kalamazoo Avenue SE. That's where the late George Start, an out-of-work minister, realized he was able to repair a friend's wooden blinds.
Soon, he was making them, and went from religion to window dressings, creating enough business to open the shop at 822 Grandville Ave. that may soon become a bakery.
Between 1952 and now, though, the sturdy two-story building that boasts hardwood floors and a tin ceiling has thrived as a retail and wholesale center for paint, blinds, shades and hardware. Doug began working there as a young teen during summers while attending Central High School. After graduating, he signed on full time with his grandfather and father, David.
All this week, the entire contents of the store are up for sale, everything from old-fashioned metal paint paddles to rod cutters to flatirons to a dinosaur of a machine that custom-fabricates aluminum blinds.
Of the latter item, I asked who'd buy it.
"I have no idea," Start said with a shrug.
Like a lot of custom work, there's not the same call for it anymore. Folks see what they think they need at a big-box store, or call an 800-number or fire up the Internet. Homeowners aren't clothing their windows in lush fashion, either, preferring off-the-shelf blinds.
And it doesn't help that residential construction is down, unemployment has spiked and we simply are living in different times.
"People are laid off," says a knowing Start. "What are you going to do -- put up a $50 window shade, or feed your family? It takes me $120 to fill up my truck. It doesn't take long these days to spend $100."
For Betsy Adevai, of Adi Design, who's been patronizing Start's for years on behalf of decorators with whom she works, the move doesn't mean she'll stop buying from Start. But she mourns the store's passing. "I just think it's sad."
Start's eyes brighten to recall the years when it wasn't unusual for a delivery truck to pull up with 450 boxes of goods, including scads of special orders.
"That was every month," he remembers. "Now? I'm lucky to get four or five packages a week."
Start is not bitter, just disappointed that the future caught up with the past. And aside from the economics behind his planned move, there is the pain in knowing he must walk away from an old friend he has been visiting every workday for some 35 years, most of those spent alongside his dad and grandfather.
His last hurrah is Friday. "That'll be hard," he says. "That will be difficult. I will have a big lump in my throat that day."
He motions to a beat-up appliance dolly with history written all over it. Like everything else, it's for sale. "I remember," says Start, "my grandfather taking me for rides on that."

An inside look at the Grand Valley State football team over 11 consecutive days leading to the season-opening game at West Texas A&M.
Grand Valley State coach Chuck Martin liked his linebackers last year -- flaws and all.
Even with youngsters such as sophomore outside linebacker Justin Victor and freshman Brad Howard making mistakes of inexperience, he liked that they moved around, hit people and improved over time.
"And now, they don't have the excuse that they don't know everything," Martin said.
"I think it's going to be a great unit. We have the three starters back (Victor, Howard and senior Gary Anderson), and we have great depth with (James) Wojociechowski and some redshirt freshmen, like Luther Ware and Ricky Shorkey. I expect great linebacker play."
Victor, who made first-team All-Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference last season and ranked second to Howard in tackles on the team, said the experience last year paid big dividends.
"I know from my own experience I was thrown out there early and was kind of running around and trying to fit my gap," Victor said. "Now, I know where to be and when to fly around and hit somebody. I can play a lot better this year, and the same goes for all the linebackers really. We have talent there."
Victor, who added muscle to his 6-foot-1, 225-pound frame, said the linebackers can't wait to play Saturday at West Texas A&M.
"We want to hit somebody else," said Victor, a standout defensive end/linebacker at Allen Park High School. "And we know it's going to be a great challenge on the road against a team with a lot of speed."
He said film revealed a lot of three-step drops and quick throws in the West Texas offense, with the running game used sparingly.
"We will drop a lot of people, and we have to stay locked in and make sure we don't make a mistake, because they have the speed to make you pay," Victor said. "We have the ability to do it and the speed to do it. We just have to execute and then fly around and hit some people."
Victor said the Lakers, including the linebackers, are in better shape than last year's team.
"Everyone is meshing," he said. "Practice has gone well. I think we're ready to play and ready to carry on the winning tradition."

Has the recession turned once valuable antiques into junk?
Action News Reporter Reed Buterbaugh has the story of how the antique business is fairing in Greater Binghamton.
Laddie Vana gets requests for everything from old guitars to women's shoes from the 1940s.
"When it's been sitting around for two years and you're ready to throw it away because you think no one is every going to buy this," Vana of Odd, Old and Unique said. "That's when someone comes in and says 'do you have that left-handed widget?'"
These days, he's seeing higher demand for retro items as people try to reconnect with their childhoods.
But, overall sales have been flat.
"It's always down. It's just something you do for fun. It's a love," Vana said.
Sales are strong on the higher end as people are rethinking how they fund their retirement accounts, moving away from stocks and bonds and into appreciating asset like fine art.
"Funnel at least some of their money out of the market and into something that is substantial and real," said Kathy Reno, owner of Riverfront Antiques on Front Street in Binghamton.
Reno has seen sales rise 20 percent every year since she opened in 2004.
While her collectables are flying off the shelves, she has seen a drop in local costumers.
"I'm very lucky in that my people come from outside the area always come in and buy from me," said Reno.
"We buy antiques because we like antiques and we like their beauty. We feel they have a lasting beauty and they do have a lasting value," said Sean McGuan of Cleveland.
And while McGuan regularly takes day trips to go antiquing, he's buying less every stop.
"Pieces that I might have looked at before that I'd say maybe I'd like, now unless I really want it then I'll buy it," said McGuan.
The antique business isn't recession proof, but buyers eying investments or a piece of nostalgia keep demand up.
Antique shop owners say they've seen an increase in the number people coming into their stores trying to sell some unique valuables for cash.

Traffic congestion on Staten Island couldn't get any worse than it is these days, right?
If you think it's bad now, just wait until all the (mostly young) people who are now lining up to take their driver's test get their licenses — and inevitably, their own cars.
And don't forget all the people who move here from other boroughs and other countries. They'll be out on the roads, too.
Traffic here, bad as it is now, is going to be an absolute nightmare in coming years, and there's not much anyone can do about it.
That's the only conclusion you can draw from an Advance analysis of Department of Motor Vehicles data, as reported in the Sunday Advance.
Driving schools' classes are packed with aspiring drivers and there's been a corresponding increase in the number of car registrations.
Officially, Staten Island has 487,400 people living in 174,000 households. But there are 263,600 vehicles registered in Richmond County — about 1.5 cars per household.
That represents a jump of 10 percent in registrations over a decade ago and the trend shows no signs of slowing down. Even with the worst recession since the Great Depression, the population of the borough continues to swell.
Some 13,200 new drivers got their licenses in the last year alone. Yes, the number includes some people who live in other New York counties who come to the more user-friendly Staten Island DMV office to get their licenses, but the growth in the rolls of licensed drivers here is still significant.
Experts are predicting a population growth of 35 percent over the next two decades, and, unless there's a massive investment in mass transit over that time, a high percentage of those people are going to have to drive to get around the borough.
Jonathan Peters, the College of Staten Island's resident transportation expert, said, "Picture Victory Boulevard with 35 percent more cars on it. Picture the Staten Island Expressway with 35 percent more cars."
He added, "This is one of the ones that haunts me. This is the reality we're heading toward, and we have to be prepared."
Professor Peters said that with the borough's current, sketchy mass transit system failing to meet people's transportation needs, the road net here simply won't be able to absorb the massive increase in traffic.
And still, the city encourages new residential development, including in areas such as the West Shore where local mass transit to take residents to stores and to visit relatives and friends is practically non-existent.
Make no mistake, there is no magic bullet to cure this looming problem, much as many people would like to believe a new expressway or wider streets might help. And the local improvements undertaken by the Department of Transportation at the urging of borough officials will help in the short term, as will the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's recent expansion of such traffic-alleviating measures as park-and-rides. But these won't solve the fundamental problem: Too many cars in a finite amount of space.
Professor Peters forecasts a bleak future, traffic-wise, absent a "radically different" approach to getting people from one place to another around here.
Unfortunately, the long-running saga of the far-from-certain North and West shore rail lines, which should have been in place decades ago, suggests that whatever is done to meet this challenge will be too little and too late.

BLUE LAKE TWP. — The Chicago Boy Scouts council has officially appealed a court decision upholding the zoning of its Owasippe Scout Reservation.
The "claim of appeal" was filed late last month in the Michigan Court of Appeals. The Chicago Area Council of Boy Scouts of America is asking that the court overturn a ruling by 14th Circuit Judge William C. Marietti that Blue Lake Township is justified in restricting use of Owasippe to camping.
The Chicago Area Council is trying to sell much of the 4,800-acre Owasippe property, and argued to Marietti that the township's zoning unfairly restricts use, and therefore the value, of the property.
The appeals court filing isn't much of a surprise. The council board of directors voted 15-5 in March to appeal the decision.
"I'm not surprised at all," said Blue Lake Township Supervisor Don Studaven.
Then again, he said he's hoping the council will end up withdrawing the appeal. The council is mired in controversy after two unsuccessful attempts to seat a new board of directors.
The Chicago council's membership has twice voted to reject proposed slates of board members. As a result, the national Boy Scouts organization, which reportedly has taken control of the Chicago council, will appoint a new board. It already has appointed a new Scout executive for the council.
The decision by the council board to sell Owasippe -- and to sue Blue Lake Township -- has proved vastly unpopular with the general membership. The council has operated camps at Owasippe for 97 years.
Council attorneys told Marietti that camps at Owasippe are money-losers and that they are too far away from the core Scouting activities in Chicago. A Holland-area businessman has offered $19 million for the land, though the offer reportedly is contingent on the property being rezoned for residential use.
The township rejected a request by the Boy Scouts council to rezone the land to allow, according to Marietti's calculations, up to 2,400 new homes.
The Chicago council has not yet filed a brief with the appeals court outlining its reasons for appealing Marietti's decision. The township then will file a response, said township Attorney Doug Hughes.
It could take as long as a year before the case is heard before a three-judge appeals court panel, Hughes said. It could take that panel another six months to issue a ruling, he said.
It has been reported that the Chicago council already has spent $1 million on the Owasippe litigation, though an attorney for the council disputed that figure without giving a different one.
The township has spent about $250,000 to defend itself.
Studaven said the Michigan Townships Association has indicated it will file an amicus curiae brief in support of the township's defense of the appeal. Such briefs are filed by groups that aren't party to a lawsuit, but believe they have a direct interest in the outcome.
The Owasippe case is widely seen as a test of townships' rights to determine the best and most appropriate use of property through zoning ordinances.

- Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader
The impact of air traffic on climate is dominated by the contribution of aircraft induced cirrus. Hence, any mitigation strategy has to consider the production of contrails and cirrus clouds. Here we use operational radiosonde data with high vertical resolution to estimate the effect of a small change in flight altitudes to avoid flight in ice supersaturated air, hence to suppress contrail and cirrus formation. It is shown that a substantial fraction of contrails and contrail induced cirrus can be avoided by relatively small changes in flight level, due to the shallowness of ice-supersaturation layers.

HILLSBOROUGH — The Hillsborough Board of Education is considering an annual $100 student activity fee to help fund athletic and extracurricular activities.
The board will be voting on the fee at its meeting on Aug. 16 at 7:30 p.m. The proposal is up for review before that on the school board's website, where residents can also participate in an online survey about the fee.
If passed, the student activity fee would be implemented at the high school starting next school year. The school board is also considering a fee at the middle school level, to be implemented in the 2011-2012 academic year.
According to the school district, under the proposal there would be a single fee per student for each academic year if the student participates in one or more activities during the year, including sports, clubs, band and choir.
The fee would be payable prior to any of the activities' events. If the activity has try-outs, the fee would be payable after acceptance into the activity. If the student quits during the middle of the school year or is dropped from the program, a refund would not be provided. However, since the fee covers all activities for the year, no additional fee would be charged should that student participate in another activity.
For families with more than one student, there would be a family cap of $200. Students participating in the free lunch program in the district would have the activity fee waived, and students participating in the reduced lunch program would have the student activity fee reduced 50%.
School board member Thomas Kinst presented the proposal and information gathered by a special projects committee at the school board meeting on July 19.

Majestic and grandiose, this stunning table lamp features intricate design details that will impress your guests, no matter where you place it! The classic Hampstead shade rests atop a reproduction Turtleback base. A beautiful floral motif rims the edge of the shade and creeps up the blue and green background, which emanates a beautiful stone wall.
Adding another unique element, the base features large rosy-toned cabochons and complementary cuts of glass integrated throughout. Over 1600 pieces of hand-cut glass and 207 glistening cabochons craft the shade and the lit base, capturing the light from every angle.
Enjoy three different lighting options; light just the base or just the shade, or better yet - both!
From the Tiffany-Style Lighting Collection.
Made from glass and iron, this lamp measures 34"H with a 22" shade diameter and weight 34.5 lbs. The shade uses three 60-watt Type A bulbs (not included) and the base uses one 15-watt Type B bulb (not included); lamp operates on a pull chain switch. Clean with a damp, clean cloth. Dry with soft, clean cloth. Low level of assembly required (approximately 5 minutes). UL approved, for indoor use only.
Please Note: We make every effort to ensure colors are represented accurately online. However, due the nature in which these lamps are crafted, slight color variations in stained glass are normal and help to make each lamp beautifully unique.
A good lighting scheme is arguably the most important aspect of decorating and the most powerful way to define a room's ambiance. Choosing the right types of lighting requires knowing a little something about the different purposes lighting can serve, the types of lamps and shades available, what some technical terms mean, and how to tailor a lighting scheme to your specific room and needs.
Table lamps are perhaps the most common type of lamp used today. They generally range in height from 25" to 32", and they often serve double roles as task lighting and accent lighting. Because of this, most people choose to use medium-watt, soft-light bulbs in their table lamps. When choosing a table lamp, the shade needs to be in proportion to the lamp's base, as well as with the surrounding furniture. The shade should be at eye level when you're seated, and the bulb should not be visible. Generally speaking, shorter lamps should be placed on taller tables, and taller lamps should be placed on shorter tables. This will help keep everything in room balanced and at eye level.
Types of lighting: Lighting falls into three categories: ambient, task and accent lighting. Well-lit rooms feature a combination of the three, allowing you to be comfortable without squinting or straining your eyes. The number and types of fixtures will vary with your room sizes, décor and personal preferences.
You have the perfect lamp and you've carefully chosen a shade for it, but what kind of light bulb should you choose? You may not think much about light bulbs, but the kind you choose has the greatest impact on the overall effect and effectiveness of your lamp. Many people make the mistake of buying a light bulb more powerful than they need for a particular lamp. This unfortunately can make a lamp so intense or distracting that it is rarely used. The simple solution to this problem is to use a smaller bulb. Most table and accent lamps require no more than a 60-watt bulb, even if they are rated for something much higher. While it's very important to never exceed the recommended bulb wattage for a lamp, there is nothing wrong with using a less-powerful bulb.
Aside from wattage, there are other factors to consider when choosing a light bulb. Light bulbs come in four basic types: incandescent, fluorescent, compact fluorescent and halogen.

In one of the biggest free agency periods in NBA history, Tracy McGrady has mostly gone unnoticed.
A top-tier swingman just a few years ago, McGrady has seen his talents fade as he gets older. After joining the New York Knicks toward the end of last season, he only averaged 9.4 points a game in 24 contests.
McGrady was a superstar when he arrived in Houston, but his Rocket career was defined by injuries and playoff failures. He couldn't thrive as the go-to man for Houston, and the same could be said about him in Orlando.
With his talents dwindling, however, McGrady wouldn't be asked to take nearly the same role he was in Houston. Now, he'd most likely be asked to be an effective scorer from the small forward position.
Although his ego will take a hit, McGrady will have to take a pay cut to be a role player for teams looking for help. With Miami scooping up LeBron James, the teams that missed out on James might take a look at T-Mac, although it wouldn't offer too much solace after missing out on King James.
Here are his top 10 destinations.

Wide receiver Jerrel Jernigan did more in the last three games of the season than he had done in nearly three years with the Giants.
Go figure.
Entering the final three games this season, Jernigan was the poster boy for the past several Giants' drafts that didn't yield much talent in the middle rounds. A third-round pick out of Troy, he had just 13 catches for 114 yards and no touchdowns in his first 29 career games.
But when slot receiver Victor Cruz went down with a knee injury three games ago, Jernigan stepped up. Not that he didn't have opportunities in the past.
In the last three games, Jernigan caught 19 passes for 237 yards and two touchdowns, including six catches for 90 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-6 victory over the Redskins at rain-soaked MetLife Stadium.
Jernigan, who is speedy, shifty and tough, also scored on a 49-yard touchdown run - the Giants' longest run from scrimmage this season - on an end around against Washington. He accounted for 147 of the Giants' 278 yards total offense and both touchdowns.
"It's a great feeling to come out there, the coaches have been telling me through the weeks that I'm getting my opportunity to go out there and make plays for the team," he said. "I just wanted to let the coaching staff and organization know that I can make plays.
"Victor is down or whatever but when he comes back, I also still want to be out there."
Jernigan, 5-foot-8, 189 pounds, make a sensational leaping and twisting grab on a 24-yard touchdown on a seam route with a pair of defenders blanketing him. The play gave the Giants a 7-3 lead late in the second quarter.
Then, on the final play of the third quarter, he took it to the house on a brilliantly executed end around on which he exploded through a seam and broke at least two tackles. His score gave the Giants a 17-6 lead.
"I was pleased with him," coach Tom Coughlin said. "The way in which he played and the way he finished. He grew into a guy that wanted the ball and did things well with the ball when he got it. He's a tough guy and we saw that down the stretch."
Two weeks ago, Jernigan was asked what took him so long to show his talent. The Giants had become increasingly impatient with him.
"I've been sitting behind the best slot receiver in the game right now in Victor Cruz," he answered.

Article II
of the Constitution
defining (and limiting)
the presidential powers
from Jon Roland's Constitution site
Section. 1. The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President. But in chusing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; a quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President.

Four Bainbridge juveniles arrested for theft, vandalism | UPDATED
Bainbridge Police Thursday arrested two 14-year-old boys who police believe were involved in a burglary at the Bainbridge Aquatic Center Wednesday, as well as numerous acts of vandalism over the past two weeks.
BIPD Lt. Sue Shultz said the investigation was ongoing and more arrests were expected.
Shultz said suspects apparently gained access to the Aquatic Center through a rear door between 3:15 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, and stole items from eight lockers in a locker room. Items included jewelry, wallets, cell phones and cash.
Most of the missing items were recovered during the arrests, Shultz said.
The juveniles are also suspected in a rash of graffiti that began Nov. 8, when numerous spray painted tags were discovered on buildings and roadways in the vicinity of Bainbridge High School.
Many of the tags included the letters "BSO." Police believe the youths were likely copying marks used by a well known gang in California.
Since Nov. 8, police investigated more than 15 additional reports of vandalism, including several incidents involving similar graffiti tags.
Total damage from the vandalism was estimated to be more than $13,000.
Shultz said officers had already identified the two juveniles as persons of interest in the vandalism cases earlier this week. A corroborating witness account from the burglary led to the arrests Thursday she said. The juveniles were arrested on charges of burglary, theft and multiple counts of first-degree malicious mischief.

Talk to a diabetes educator about the best meter for you
Researchers develop new meters so frequently that it can be hard to know if you have the very latest. Check in with your diabetes educator on a regular basis to find out whether there's a new meter that might suit your needs better than the one you're using now. Because the easier a meter is for you to use, the more likely you'll be to test your blood often enough to keep your blood sugar in the healthy range.

Riddles on the Potomac
An Executive Order instructs federal agencies to consider the interests of small-business owners. Simple? Not in Washington
Last month, National Small Business Week celebrated the contributions of U.S. entrepreneurs to the national economy with awards, receptions, and many fine words. But while all agreed that small businesses, which employ two Americans in three, have been more than pulling their weight, one question received scant attention: What have Uncle Sam's bureaucrats being doing to help business owners survive, thrive, and solidify the economy's still-shaky recovery?
According to a newly released report from the Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy, not as much as the Bush Administration wanted when it issued Executive Order 13272. That edict, unveiled in August, 2002, requires regulatory agencies to draft specific procedures that guarantee small-business interests get due consideration when new regulations are being prepared.
"Our lawyers are both frustrated and encouraged," says Thomas M. Sullivan, chief council for the SBA's Office of Advocacy. "When we have a communication with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that first says it's not covered by the letter of this Executive Order because it's 'independent', then that's frustrating. But then, three weeks later, when they...communicate with our office and say, 'We still want to learn more about how we can do a better job considering small-business impact, well that's fantastic."
The SBA advocate's report divides federal agencies into two categories. The first consists of Cabinet-level departments, such as the Defense Dept., while the second is composed of independent agencies, like the FCC, SEC, and FDIC.
The good news: All Cabinet-level departments are reported as being in compliance with the both the letter and spirit of the EO 13272. In the latter category, however, 59 of 75 agencies have not responded to it, Sullivan said. Of these, nine were singled out in the report as having a particular impact on the activities and plans of small business. (The agencies named were: Export-Import Bank, Farm Credit Administration, Federal Communication Commission, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Emergency Management Administration, Federal Housing Finance Board, Federal Maritime Commission, Federal Reserve, and the Securities & Exchange Commission.)
"We've stopped looking through the federal register every day for rules that haven't adequately considered small business," says Sullivan. "Instead, we're relying on more direct input from small business groups like the Associated Builders & Contractors, the National Federation of Independent Business, the Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Manufacturers...the list goes on and on."
Sullivan added that such trade groups had expressed concern about regulations enacted by both the SEC and the FCC, including recent FCC efforts to revise media-ownership rules. The SBA's compliance report confirms that the FCC submitted pending regulations to Sullivan's office, but he feels more effort is needed to honor the intentions of EO 13272 -- not just at the FCC, but in all federal agencies. Small-business owners would be better served, he said, if agencies compiled and published their own impact appraisals of pending regulations.
EO 13272, complains Sullivan, "puts significant burden on the FCC to do the analysis and let the public see that analysis, comment either on its validity or how it effects the bottom line, and suggest ways to change the proposal to minimize the burden." Given Washington's approach to doing business, that's not a burden likely to be lifted from the shoulders of the small-business community anytime soon.

Id really like to find a local HS group but I'm having zero luck...
I don't know who to refer you to and I'm unable to get the info. I know my brother homeschooled in Yuma and they had a good group. However, they're pretty Christian and I'm guessing they were in a strong Christian group. I believe the kids did lots of stuff with 4H that is supposed to have been amazing. They spent a lot of 4H time with a vet. Maybe that could be a starting point.
Created an instant family (7/89 and 5/91) in 1997. Made a baby boy 12/05 adopted a baby girl 8/08. Ask me about tandem adoptive nursing and living as gluten, dairy, and cane sugar free vegetarians. Homeschooling and loving it.
We are a Catholic HS family I'm fine with a Christian group.. I am planning on entering my DD in 4H this comming fall so maybe we can meet some people that way??
I've only found information on one active group.. TO be fair I haven't actually met with them dirrectly but there site is FULL of Pearl and TTUAC stuff.. Christian I can take even prefer but they might be over the top..

A survey popped up on my USAA accounts when I logged in this morning:
What percent of Americans do not have a will or estate plan?
- 92%
- 57%
- 44%
- 22%
What say you?
I did guess the correct answer, which was a whopping…
Over half of Americans!
The results are even more astonishing when broken down into age brackets:
- 92% of adults ages 18-35 do not have a Will!
- 44% of baby boomers ages 45-64 do not have a Will!
That is astonishing. And a bit frightening when you consider how many have children involved who would be at the mercy of the State (and its schedule) and close relatives if something were to happen to both parents, or even just one parent if the other's out of the picture.
Military families have no financial excuse to not have a will, since Legal on base will provide us (a basic) one for free. We got our first one right before our first son was born. Even so, it took a deployment many years later to motivate us to update the one we had, several years after the recommended five-year mark, and more than a couple years after a couple more kids were added to the mix.
And more "Even So" — we have not given a copy of that Will to those whom we designated as our beneficiaries! Just an oversight, to be sure. Because really — who wants to talk about who you want to raise your kids in the event that you can't be around? Not something you really want to bring up. But I'm determined to remedy that, soon.
A Will doesn't do us much good if we're dead: it needs to be in the hands of those who then have to deal with picking up the pieces in the immediate aftermath of what would, certainly, be a horrible tragedy. Who is that for you? Do they know what your wishes are? Do they have them in writing? Do you even have a Will? What's stopping you?

Digital Nation: 21st Century America's Progress Towards Universal Broadband
Report Summary of the paper Digital Nation: 21st Century Americas Progress toward
Universal Broadband Internet Access, by the U.S. Department of Commerce
The report samples 4,000 households and 129,000 citizens. It's central idea is that
although broadband internet has transformed the way Americans communicate,
for many citizens, broadband remains out of reach. The report, complete with
graph and pie charts, illustrates the gaps in internet access (which demographic
groups have it or dont and why); where it tends to be more accessible, as well
why those who have access to it may chose not to use it.
The paper compares and analyzes demographics regarding broadband usage such as
income, ethnicity, Urban vs. rural, level of education, age, and marital status.
Major Statistics
Those with no broadband access at home amount to more than 35% of all households
and approximately 40% of all persons.
Dial-up use peaked around 2000, involving 37% of all households and has plummeted
since. 53% of all households now have broadband access
18-24 years-old exhibited the greatest broadband use at home while seniors (55 years
or older) used broadband the least.
Usage by race and ethnicity: Asian non-Hispanics, led all groups in usage, ending with
non-white Hispanics.
Usage by employment status: 70% of employed persons have broadband access, 58.4%
unemployed and 47.4% not in he labor force.
In rural areas Black usage ranked (28.8 percent) vs their counterparts in urban areas
(47.8 percent respectively).
Overall 69.9% percent of urban households and 54.1% of rural households have broadband
This initial analysis of the 2009 survey results begins the process of developing a factual
basis for sound policy making to expand adoption of and access to the Internet.
This preview report is based on summary Current Population Survey (CPS) data provided
to NTIA by the Census Bureau.

"The Sessions," "Amour," "Rust and Bone" and "The Paperboy" are all contenders for major and minor Academy Awards this year. The series is also heavy on foreign titles, many of which are considered some of the best films of last year.
The spring lineup has the tough task of topping a wildly popular, record-setting fall series that included "Beasts of the Southern Wild," "Moonrise Kingdom" and "To Rome with Love."
But this lineup proves the Tuscaloosa Arts Council and Bama Art House curators continue improving our independent film options season after season with gripping works from auteurs like Michael Haneke, Joe Wright, Jacques Audiard and Lee Daniels.
Each film will screen on a Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. A season pass for $50 gets you into all 10 films. Learn more at the series website.
The lineup is listed below with trailers and synopses for each film:
This Must Be the Place (Jan. 15)
Oscar-winner Sean Penn stars as a retired rock star living off royalties who travels to New York City to find a man who humiliated his father during World War 2. Paolo Sorrentino directs, while Frances McDormand and Judd Hirsh co-star in what looks like a bit of a departure for the usually rough-around-the-edges Penn. But we know Penn's a chameleon whenever he wants to be, as displayed in his Oscar-winning performance in "Milk."
The Sessions (Jan. 22)
My prediction for biggest crowd-pleaser of the series, this heartwarming comedy pairs Oscar-nominee John Hawkes ("Winter's Bone") and Oscar-winner Helen Hunt ("As Good As It Gets") in the tale of a man in an iron lung who contacts a sex therapist to help him lose his virginity. On the heels of "Winter's Bone," "Martha Marcy May Marlene" and now "Lincoln," it's good to see the talented and once-invisible Hawkes catching attention-grabbing lead roles and Oscar consideration.
Brooklyn Castle (Jan. 29)
Katie Dellamaggiore's acclaimed documentary takes a look at a Brooklyn junior high school's competitive chess team in the midst of the national financial crises and major public school budget cuts.
Anna Karenina (Feb. 5)
Take a weekend (or 52) to knockout Leo Tolstoy's classic novel set in late-19th-century Russia high-society before hitting up Joe Wright's lavish adaptation starring Keira Knightley and Jude Law. Wright's one of Hollywood's great adapters of fiction, while also lending a one-of-a-kind aesthetic touch in past films like "Pride & Prejudice" and "Atonement."
It's a Disaster (Feb. 12)
Todd Berger's little-seen comedy starring David Cross, Julia Stiles and America Ferrara follows four couples who meet for Sunday brunch and discover they are stuck in a house together during a possibly looming apocalypse.
Rust and Bone (Feb. 19)
Those who caught up with Jacques Audiard's staggering gangster/prison picture "A Prophet" know this guy is the real deal, so plenty are anxious to see how he follows that one up. "Ruse and Bone" stars the luminous Marion Cotillard as a killer whale trainer who suffers a horrible accident and must cope with the help of Matthias Schoenaerts' character.
Amour (Feb. 26)
Michael Haneke refuses to shy away from asking difficult questions and exploring uncomfortable subject matter, giving us plenty reason to keep an eye on the Austrian auteur year-round. His film, starring Emmanuelle Riva and Jean-Louis Trintignant, follows an elderly couple who must face challenges late in their marriage including their own mortality.
Holy Motors (March 5)
Perhaps the doozy of the series, "Holy Motors" blew the doors off of critics in 2012, many calling it their favorite film of the year. Denis Lavant is said to give one of the performances of the year as well, taking on several roles within the same film. It follows his Monsieur Oscar for a day as he travels from one life to the next. I'll refrain from attempting to explain what this thing is about anymore. Just watch the trailer.
The Paperboy (March 12)
If you're like me and you loved Lee Daniels' gritty Oscar-winning drama "Precious" in 2009, you're looking forward to catching up on his follow-up "The Paperboy," said to be a sweat hot mess of a movie about a reporter who returns to his Florida hometown to investigate a case involving a death row inmate. Matthew McConaughey, John Cusack, Zac Efron and possible Oscar nominee Nicole Kidman star in the series closer.
March 19: TBD

As far back as I can remember the Fourth of July has been a special celebration for our family. It was a time for gathering together to swim until we were all pruney, eat until we can't possibly eat anymore, and enjoy pyrotechnic shows sponsored by my pyromaniac uncles and the local fireworks booth.
Our family's Fourth of July festivities were something my sister and I always looked forward to. In fact, I remember one year my parents wanted to go camping and we threw the biggest tantrum that they finally agreed to leave the day after. Winning. I also remember creating my first family movie one year. The video camera was the size of a large boombox and I don't dare watch the tape until my motion sickness pills kick in. I think I've come a long way…I hope.
Along with the fond memories I hold dear are the classic recipes that continue to be served, including the best potato salad you will ever taste. Trust me. I've learned how to perfect it over the years and now that my grandparents are older and no longer able to pull off such feats of awesomeness every year I like to think I'm carrying the torch.
And, while some things change something that will never change is the great taste of Hellmann's which is why I always use it to cook with. I'm not the only one who tastes the good either so as Hellmann's is about to celebrate their 100th birthday Mario Batali has teamed up to add some pizzazz to some traditional recipes.
For example, basic burger or burger with a juicy twist?
You don't have to answer that. Just run to your closest Sam's Club because I have a strong suspicion you'll be making these recipes over and over again this summer!Disclosure: This post is part of a campaign in conjunction with lunchbox. I was compensated for my time and efforts. My opinions, content, and stories are entirely my own.

Activision took a look at a coveted game called Golden Eye 007 and remade it for the Wii and Nintendo DS. Fortunately, it doesn't rely on it's title for money but it became one of the best FPS games available on the Wii. Considering that Rare created the original game, you would expect some differences. Well, Activision and the developer Eurocom made many changes to GoldenEye's transfer to the Wii. Unlike the previous game, Golden Eye features the modern James Bond, Daniel Craig, ...

Shakira and Rihanna's 'Can't Remember To Forget You': Listen
Shakira and Rihanna bounce through their heartache on "Can't Remember To Forget You," an ode to a guy who is bad in all the good ways.
The two play off each other, trading parts about the boy who makes them forget everything other than "kissing in the moonlight."
The track, which premiered today on "On Air With Ryan Seacrest," is relentlessly and aggressively upbeat, bringing in Latin beats in homage to Shakira's Colombian background, and Caribbean touches, as tribute to Rihanna, who is from Barbados. Plus, it adds in an '80s, Police-like rhythm, similar to that heard on Bruno Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven," as MTV and other outlets also noted.
It's loud and in your face and it comes out in time to be hitting its stride when Shakira returns as a coach on "The Voice" on Feb. 24. The song will be on Shakira's new album, out March 25.
Given that the song credits list six songwriters — Shakira, Rihanna, John Hill, Tom Hull, Daniel Ledinsky and Erik Hassle — you'd think they would have come up with a more memorable chorus. Instead they seemed to rely on the star appeal of their names and lots of bells and whistles. Having said that, it's certainly better than another recent superstar collaboration: Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears' paste-up on "SMS (Bangerz)."
What do you think of "Can't Remember To Forget You?" How do you like it compared to Shakira's 2007 collaboration with Beyonce, "Beautiful Liar," which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100?
