Le livre des records Guinness 2013 est arrivé (PHOTOS/VIDÉOS)
GUINNESS BOOK DES RECORDS - Comme chaque année, le livre des records Guinness offre son lot de surprises. Pas de raison que 2013 déroge à la règle, la nouvelle édition dévoile son grand classement des records du monde les plus incroyables et les plus farfelus.
L'édition 2013, dévoilée à Londres, a, comme il se doit, son lot de vedettes animales, à commencer par Sam, un âne de 4 ans, qui a atteint la taille remarquable de 1,55 m, Zeus, un chien danois culminant à plus de 2 mètres sur ses pattes arrière ou encore le petit Bruschi un Terrier aux yeux les plus larges du monde.
Chez nos amis les humains, on compte le record du plus grand rassemblement de fans de Lady Gaga, les biceps et les triceps les plus hors normes, le nez plus plus gros de ce bas monde porté par un certain Mehmet Ozyurek ou encore l'homme à la crète la plus haute.
Dans cette nouvelle édition, on retrouve également les "cultes" de ce classement annuel avec la femme la plus petite du monde, l'homme le plus grand, la doyenne et l'enfant aux sept doigts.
Publié pour la première fois en 1955, le livre des records ne cesse d'étonner et se félicite d'être "l'un des plus grands succès éditoriaux de l'histoire", avec 120 millions d'exemplaires écoulés en 22 langues dans plus de 100 pays.

Hey all you penny-pinchers who decry the high prices that Square-Enix charges for its mobile role-playing games. This is your week. Thanks to the magic of the Xbox Red Stripe Deal, Chaos Rings, a game that has never gone on sale before, is now half off! $4.99 is certainly more palatable than $9.99, especially for one of the finest mobile RPGs in existence and single best games on Windows Phone.
The Red Stripe Deals continue to include six discounted games or apps per week in 2014 as opposed to last year's three. This week's haul consists mostly of games, with only a single app – Ipnos Software's Relax Melodies Premium – on sale for 99 cents. The non-Xbox sale games include Chimpact from Yipee! Entertainment for 99 cents, Curling 3D from MaxNick (makers of Spider Jack) for $2.49, Iron Fist Boxing from Realtech VR for $1.49, and Shelter from Survivalist Games for 99 cents.

ENA has established the EN411 network to encourage members to cultivate relationships with federal and state legislators, convey ENA's legislative and regulatory priorities-in an effective manner, and affect the final outcome of federal and state legislation important to emergency nurses.
What does it mean to join the EN411 Legislative Network?
ENA members participating in the EN411 network act as resources and health care issue experts for federal and state legislators to strengthen the voice of emergency nurses in the legislative process.
EN411 Activities
We know that our members are busy, so we try to make it as easy as possible to participate in the network and influence the legislative process. There are several ways that we communicate with EN411 members to ask you for participation in various activities:
Action Alerts - Help Advocate on Behalf of ENA
ENA will send you action alerts requesting you contact your state or federal legislator about a specific issue, bill, or vote.

We always recommend you to customize and personalize all written and oral communications with your legislators.
Periodic Updates
ENA will send you emails to inform you of any legislative, political, or regulatory issues and activities affecting emergency nurses.
ED Visits
We encourage all EN411 members to invite your legislators and their staff to tour your emergency department. This provides the legislators and staff the opportunity to witness, first-hand the operations of an emergency department and the nurse's role in the emergency department. We are happy to provide assistance in making these requests.

Ah Brendhan,You don't believe in legislation from the court do you?The courts are to determine if a law is constitutional or not. The congress shall create all laws!And I think that we have a representative government,not a true democracy, where we elect people to create the laws we want,not going to a judge to say this is what I want.Hopefully I misinterpret your statement of "thats what the courts are for" :-P
In regards to using the courts. That is what the courts are there for.
QuoteIn regards to using the courts. That is what the courts are there for.you need a refresher course in government. it is not the job of the courts to legislate. yes, courts settle disputes. yes, they rule (often badly) on the constitutional merits of lower court cases. it is NOT within their purview to create law. there are a number of good examples of the SCOTUS overstepping it's bounds. one of the best is roe v. wade. this was an issue that should have been left to the legislatures and peoples of individual states. instead SCOTUS created out of thin air a new precedent.it is constitutional for the president to issue executive orders.
So it's OK for the Supreme Court to go by a mockumentary made by an admitted non-scientist to make decisions affecting everyone in the United States. Hmmmm. I don't care how many law courses you've taken, Brendhan, and I really don't mean this disrespectfully, but you've hung your hat on the wrong thing here. The Supreme Court interprets law, it does not make it, and if it's interpreting it with bad advice, then we are truly screwed in this country. As I said in another forum, Hollywood has won, and we are all in big trouble.
i chose roe v. wade not because of the subject matter, but because it is a case that all know about, even if they do not understand. that case was decided on the "right to privacy". the supreme court had invented the right to privacy in an earlier case Griswold v. Connecticut. in both the 1st case where they created law, and the second where they reaffirmed that creation, the supreme court made a decision that they had no right to make. it was a states issue.
very often the SCOTUS makes law. just because they do it, does not make it right. this is the reason that many of us want constructionists in the courts. we do not want the courts to decide law based on what they think the constitution says. we want them to make decision based on what it actually says.
this was a political decision. you can bet the liberal judges, who think that we should all be following international law and rewriting our constitution to fit the EU's idea of society, were the ones that voted for this.
you miss the point with the cases you cite. you are correct that not everything is spelled out in the constitution. the founders never intended that we have a big central government. that's why our constitution is so short. almost everything was intended to be dealt with at the state level. whenever the courts interpret the constitution and create a new law or "right", they have created more governemnt...usually more federal government. the job of the supremes was to be pretty narrow. all but a very few things were not to go beyond state level.
this mess is more fun than my mess.the point of have supremes that actually uphold rather than interpret the constitution is that most of these cases should not have been heard at all.
we all like civil rights and equal rights and abortions and clean air....and all of the lettered agencies that enforce all of those laws that we have to live under. none of those things should have been federal issues and none of those federal agencies should exist. every time the supremes hold forth on one of these issues, they empower the federal government. every time the federal government is empowered beyond those very few things that it was tasked with in the constitution, we lose more rights to central government.
and...btw...congress has been taking on an awful lot of stuff that it has no business wasting our money on. they need to go back to meeting a couple of times a year and then home to working the farm. maybe then we'd get people who actually want to serve the country and not make a career of spending money that does not belong to them.
What ever happened to the powers left to the states except those designated to the federal governmet?

-I knew there'd be fireworks when I saw that Azkar and Senka were opposite each other. I figured either Senka would kill Azkar or Azkar would seer Senka. It took some of the strategy out of it right off the bat, but that's what the randomizer came up with.
-Many thanks to relantel. It was a pleasure to mod with him. He did almost everything in this game.
-But mostly, thanks to the players. Because of Azkar's seering, the game lacked the usual strategy and attempts at misdirection, but once again, you folks carried the game with your wit and class. But most important was the participation. Astounding! A blazing game! The way it really should be.
Thanks again to everybody.

Ha HA HA good one!
Have you ever wondered where the phrase, "You gotta be sh*ttin' me!" came from?
Well, it just so happens to have originated through George Washington way back when he was crossing the Delaware River with his troops. There were 33 (remember this number) in Washington's boat. It was extremely dark, storming furiously and the water was tossing them about.
Finally, Washington grabbed Corporal Peters (remember this name) and stationed him at the front of the boat with a lantern. He ordered him to keep swinging it, so they could see where they were heading. Corporal Peters, through driving rain and cold, continued swinging the lantern back and forth, back and forth.
Then a big gust of wind and a wave hit the boat and threw Corporal Peters and his lantern into the Delaware River. Washington and his troops searched for nearly an hour trying to find Corporal Peters, but to no avail. All of them felt terrible because the Corporal had been one of their favorites.
Sometime later, Washington and his troops landed on the other side, wet and totally exhausted. He rallied the troops and told them that they must go on. Another hour later, one of his men said, "General, I see lights ahead." They trudged toward the lights and came upon a huge house. They didn't know it yet, but this was a "house of ill repute" (prostitute house) hidden in the forest to serve all who came.
General Washington pounded on the door, his men crowding around him. The door swung open and, much to his surprise, there stood a beautiful woman. A huge smile came across her face to see so many men standing there.
Washington was the first to speak, "Madam, I am General George Washington and these are my men. We are tired, wet, exhausted and desperately need warmth and comfort."
The Madam said, with a broad smile on her face, "Well, General, you have come to the right place. We can surely give you warmth and comfort. How many men do you have?"
Washington replied, "Well, madam, there are 32 of us without Peters."
And the Madam said, "You gotta be sh*ttin' me!"
I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine. - Ayn Rand

FATE OF KCMO SCHOOLS: The test scores are finally in, and the KCMO School District more than doubled their MAP scores over last year, placing the district well above the 50 percent needed to achieve provisional accreditation. But will it be enough to prevent a state takeover under a new law that goes into effect next week?
BROWNBACK MAKES HIS PICK: Kansas Governor Sam Brownback is accused this week of packing the state courts with his political allies as he picks his own advisor to the Court of Appeals. Brownback selects his chief legal counsel Caleb Stegall under a recently passed state law that allows the governor to unilaterally decide appellate judges, with Senate confirmation.
DEMOCRATS PLOT IN KANSAS: Leading Democrats met Saturday at the Kansas Democratic Party's annual DemoFest conference in Topeka. At the top of their agenda is trying to unseat Governor Brownback. The election is just over a year away, but will anyone be willing to take on the sitting Governor? A number of high profile Democrats have declined to run for the seat. House Democratic leader Paul Davis has just filed the campaign exploratory paperwork for a possible run. But, does he have enough name recognition and gravitas to be competitive?
KANSAS & MISSOURI UNPREPARED FOR OBAMACARE: In less than 6 weeks you will be expected to enroll in health insurance exchanges in Kansas and Missouri as part of the Affordable Care Act. But chances are really high you are totally clueless about what you are supposed to be doing. So are most officials in our bi-state area. According to a New York Times article, "looking for the new health insurance marketplace in Missouri is like searching for a unicorn."

text: For me the problem has been lack of developed talent to come off of the bench prior to this year so that is why Flip did not play them. Maybe these guys who a number of us thought should have gotten more minutes the last two years weren't developed enough or good enough to get the extra minutes that we thought that they should get. Also, developing young players when you have 4 guys who have been all stars in your starting lineup plus Tay is not exactly the easiest thing to do so developing a player like JMax took about 1.5 years. Finally, Hot Rod and AA are better as rookies than any other rookies we have had in a very long time. So this year is sort of a convergence of having the best rookies that we have had in a number of years, plus the development of 3rd year plays; i.e. JMax and AJ, along with the addition of Hayes who can score as quickly as anyone on our team when his shooting game is on. Add Murray to that who got some decent minutes last year and there you have it.

Rollin Ford has one of the toughest CIO jobs on the planet. He leads a global IT team in one of the world's largest companies by revenue and employees, a company that has earned a reputation for leadership in supply chain that has allowed it to dominate its markets. Yet Wal-Mart is constantly under pressure to maintain its leadership position. In the US, Target has become a fierce competitor, while in the UK, Tesco may have overtaken Wal-Mart in supply-chain leadership, with Tesco's move into the US watched closely by Wal-Mart.
Earlier this year, Ford sat on a CIO panel discussing IT's role in innovation. His thoughts on innovation also touched on strategy and alignment. He suggested that innovation starts with the customer, then leads into a business strategy, and then it gets enabled by technology. However, he acknowledges, "there are very few secrets out there." Ford suggests that the only competitive advantage over time is the speed at which your organization can implement and leverage innovative ideas: "Your organization has to embrace change and new technologies, and that becomes your model. It's about getting from A to B and doing it quicker than everybody else."

Group dispels 'myths' about Keystone XL pipeline before comment deadline
GRN Reports:
Debate over the Keystone XL, the 1,700-mile pipeline that would carry tar sands oil from Alberta to Texas, has picked up steam as the project nears the March 7 deadline for the public comments.
The State Department is collecting the comments – 9,268 so far online – as a prerequisite to deciding whether the Obama Administration should permit the upper portion of the pipeline as being in the "best interests" of the US. The approval is needed because Keystone XL would cross the international border in northeastern Montana, before traveling 875 miles through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas, linking up with a southern section of the pipeline, from Cushing, OK, to Port Arthur, TX, that has already been approved.
Opponents have been fighting the project vigorously for the past three years, saying it poses a risk to drinking water and will open the door to an avalanche of carbon emissions from extraction and burning of the heavy tar sands oil, which are strip mined in central Alberta. Proponents argue that the project would bring needed jobs and oil to the US.
One of the most contentious points has been who will be buying the tar sands oil. Initially, pipeline operator TransCanada and US State Department officials tasked with evaluating the project portrayed it as good for America's energy security.
But critics of the pipeline have chipped away at this talking point, saying the tar sands oil is destined mainly for emerging foreign markets. This view is bolstered by the fact that Canada has sought to find a shorter route to China for the pipeline, by looking west toward British Columbia. This plan, though, has encountered significant opposition from Canadian environmentalists and would face a thicket of jurisdictions, as the pipeline would inevitably pass through First Nations territories.
If the oil is largely sold internationally, then the benefit-risk analysis for the US changes dramatically, say opponents of the pipeline, who've protested along its route and at the White House. As a conveyor of the oil, would bear the risks of spills and underground water contamination, while sharing in few of the benefits, they say.
This week, the Center for Media and Democracy released a closer look at what the pipeline's construction would mean for the US. Here are the group's main conclusions, with response and added background in brackets or below:
- KXL will not directly create 100,000+ jobs [as once reported] but 3,900 short-term and 50 longer ones. [This is based on an independent study by Cornell University researchers, completed after the State Department was exposed as taking inflated jobs figures on faith from TransCanada. TransCanada recently said the number of people who will be employed to complete the pipeline will include 9,000 Americans.]
- KXL will not produce billions in corporate tax revenues, due to tax loopholes.
- KXL will not be safe from disastrous leaks, but it will be exempt from a key disaster insurance fund, which puts taxpayers on the hook for billions of dollars.
- KXL will not make America energy independent; and, in fact, most of the tar sands oil is planned for export from the Gulf via tankers to foreign countries.
- KXL will not be climate neutral — in spite of claims in an industry-linked report to the State Department — but it will speed climate change and global instability.
TransCanada notes that the pipeline is helping the US oil industry, by delivering crude oil from Cushing, OK, to the Texas Gulf Coast and relieving a bottleneck of supply that had occurred before the southern leg of the XL pipeline was built.
The Obama Administration approved that leg of the pipeline in 2012, but delayed construction of the northern leg, pending a re-routing through Nebraska to better protect the vital Ogallala Aquifer. The pipeline could be further delayed by a federal judge's ruling last week that found Nebraska's Gov. John Heineman wrongly pre-empted the state's public works commission by endorsing a new route without their input.
In a video entitled Keystone PipeLIES Exposed, the group quotes one activist as saying that the pipeline poses a great threat to Midwestern agriculture, because an oil leak into the Ogallala Aquifer could poison waters needed for irrigation.
"It's not out of the question we could see US agriculture destroyed by this tar sands pipeline," says Kevin Zeese of ItsOurEconomy.org. "The risk is the end of the breadbasket."
How serious is that risk? TransCanada says the chance of a spill is low, and describes its pipeline as having attained "a new bar for safety and design."
But the Center for Media and Democracy report notes that serious pipeline breaks are never anticipated and do occur, such as the one that deluged a neighborhood in Mayflower, AK, last year and the 2010 tar sands leak into the Kalamazoo River, which has so far cost $1 billion to clean up.
One of the most concerning aspects of the Keystone XL pipeline, according to the report, is that it would be exempted from paying into a clean-up fund because it's a carrier of "unconventional oil." This loophole would mean that American taxpayers could be on the hook for the entire cost of any clean ups related to Keystone XL.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Kayos and Havoc
Your thinking is sound. But each line has dogs that have more drive and more need for work and exercise - or less than what we think of as "typical".
You can get a working line dog that has lower drive and is more a laid back couch potato.
You can also get a showline dog that has high drive and intense need for work. I have 2 of them! Havoc and Mayhem are no couch potatoes. At nearly 2 years old now, May is beginning to learn to settle in the house without being run half to death. Thank goodness as the weather here has been awful this year. Havoc has been called a working line dog in showline clothes. Thankfully Kayos is more typical of a showline but she too has wonderful work ethic and focus.
So what is "typical" is not always so.
I think what is important as that you discuss candidly with the breeder what your needs and plans are for the dog. The breeder can better match you with a puppy that will most likely meet those needs.
Personally, I just do not care for the looks of most of the working line dogs as much as the showline dogs. Would I turn down a working line dog if it was the right fit for me? No, I would take it. In fact I was on the wait list for a working line dog but there was no female for me so I opted not to wait and bought a pup from my friend Cynthia at Tidmores Rising Star. Mayhem is everything I wanted so I am happy with how it turned out.
So, do not discount a working line due to fear of too much drive.
And I have seen a lot of Border Collies that are not so intense too. Just need to be careful and honest with the breeder.
I would look at Crooked Creek Ranch and shoot Karen an email or phone call.

Yes I don't really want a working line dog. It is a real reason I chose GSD over Border Collie as I love both breeds. Border Collies need a "job" ALL the time or they can get reckless. I have heard it is the same with many Working Line GSD's.
I am not trying to get out of exercising the dog by getting a Show Line, as I am well aware ALL GSD's need mental stimulation and lots of exercise. But I don't want to have to send my dog on a mission every hour.
Believe me I love the idea of a working line but I am also honest with myself enough to know that a WL GSD will not be as great of a fit for me as a SL.
|Kayos and Havoc
Head scratching???? Why did I forget about CCR? Karen has a good reputation and she and I are facebook friends.
They are working lines and he did not want that but certainly worth a look.
New Member here myself and from the Des Moines Area as well. Ive been doing a lot of research into GSDs for the last two years. As I plan to become a GSD owner as well. While Ive come to the conclusion that I will be adopting from a local Rescue. During my research. I found quite a few breeders but one stuck out.
One of the most respectable Breeders Ive come across and shes very sought after is Crooked Creek Ranch. They arent cheap but theyre also healthy, well tempered and have the credentials to back it up. You can take a look here
Crooked Creek Ranch
The bitch with the SG rating is retired I believe...
|why "non working line"?
|Kayos and Havoc
I like that Century Farms is health testing, they are also selling on limited registration which I think is good.
They have one female that has an SG rating. Understand the web site kept locking up so I did not look at every dog.
I have no problem with long coats, some love them and they can now be shown in the SV. I had a long coat rescue and he was fabulous. Great agility dog!
These dogs are a mix of show lines and working lines. Some like this some do not. Many breeders believe that when you mix lines it is like a box of chocolates- you don't know what you are going to get. Some swear by it because it brings in vigor.
Alexander if you just want a companion to hike or jog with and share your life with, these pups may be fine for you. If you want a pup to do protection work with I would keep looking. If you want to do AKC performance sports these pups may be suitable in terms of structure and drive.
I used to think titles were very important. They are very important to assess working and training ability. But I think if there are titled dogs in close previous generations (2 and 3) and this is a companion dog, having the immediate parents titled is not so important.
I think what is most important for a companion dog is stable temperament, biddability, and solid nerve. That said, training, socialization and titling does help a breeder know if the dogs are mentally sound. So there is definite value in that. If there are no titles in any close generations back I would be concerned that the breeders were simply haphazard breeding and I would wonder about the dogs mental soundness. I would want to try to determine that before I bought.
|I don't really care for Century Farms, I've never dealt with them personally but they don't title their dogs, they breed long coated GSDs and they charge different prices for different colors.
Century Farms
I had looked at your breeder earlier in my searching but I they don't have a litter planned for when I would like to get one! I think I found one that I really like and I am doing the questionnaire and the run down right now!
Century Farms
*Century Farms, LLC - Century Shepherds
Anyone heard of it/ have a pup?
My boyfriend and I are from the Des Moines area and living in Ames, so hello from Iowa! We ended up driving to Midford Nebraska (1 hour west of Omaha) to get our pup from Vom Engel Shepherds. I would be happy to answer any questions about our breeder and puppy if you want to PM me. If you are close enough you could even meet little Rommel if you like! We are very pleased with our choice.

Canadiens' Andrei Kostitsyn misses on shot towards Capitals goalie Braden Holtby, while being checked by Mike Knuble during the first period Saturday night. Pierre Obendrauf, The Gazette
Preview | Matchups | Saturday's NHL schedule | Boone's Game Blog, Quick Hits, About last night … | Stubbs on Twitter | Hickey's game story
AUDIO: Scott Gomez | Brian Gionta | Tomas Plekanec | Carey Price | Jacques Martin
• At a Glance: For the first time since 1949, the Canadiens have been shut out for three straight games following Saturday night's 2-0 loss to the Washington Capitals on Saturday night at the Bell Centre. Marco Sturm scored early in the first period when he knocked a rebound out of the air and into the net behind Carey Price 1:24 into the game. It stood up as the winning goal. Alexander Semin scored off an odd-man rush 16:19 into the third period to end any thoughts of a comeback. The Canadiens managed only three shots on goal in the first period and only 18 overall, giving Capitals goalie Braden Holtby an easy night for the shutout, his second in 14 games. Price stopped 31 of 33 shots he faced. The Canadiens have not score for more than 186 minutes of hockey.
• What It Means: The Canadiens remain in sixth place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 40-29-7 for 87 points, the same number as the New York Rangers, who remain in seventh because they have won fewer games in regulation time. The Sabres sit at 85 points in eighth place in the conference.
• What's Next: The Atlanta Thrashers are at the Bell Centre on Tuesday night and the Canadiens travel to Carolina to take on the Hurricanes on Wednesday for their final game of March.

Citizens Can Vote on Streetcar Charter Change, but Not on Previous Vote
The San Antonio City Attorney's office today opened the door to a public vote on that controversial downtown streetcar, and indicated there are two ways that a possible vote could take place, 1200 WOAI news reports.
READ THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OPINION: View Document
"He does believe that if enough signatures are gathered for a charter amendment, and I have signed that petition, the city can and probably would call an election," said north side Councilman and streetcar opponent Joe Krier.
Krier says the other way an election on the streetcar would take place would be if City Council gets ahead of the public opposition to the $270 million streetcar plan and calls an election itself, and he says there is a way that can be done.
"The 32 million dollars that was voted in January of 2013 (the city's share of the streetcar budget) has not been spent and has not been obligated, and will not be spent and obligated until council has at least two more votes."
Krier says after receiving the City Attorney's opinion, his next step is clear.
"I intend to propose that we have an election any time this issue comes before council," he said.
Via spokeswoman Priscilla Ingle says the funding is in place to build the first phase of the streetcar, which doesn't require any new taxes.
A group of streetcar opponents ranging from Tea Party members who feel the proposal is a waste of money to LULAC chapters who see the streetcar stripping poor neighborhoods of essential bus service so VIA Metro Transit can build a streetcar to benefit wealthy tourists and downtown business owners, have mounted a drive to get 20,000 registered voter signatures by July 1st to force a charter election in November.
That charter change would require that a vote of the people be taken any time the any agency proposes to tear up any city owned street to build a 'rail transportation system.'
Krier says the smartest thing for VIA to do today is to put the streetcar system on hold.
"I would hope that this opinion from the City Attorney would cause VIA to reconsider moving forward on a $400 million project for which future funding is not assured," he said. "There is no guarantee that the votes will be there to fund the $32 million obligation that the city has made, and especially with this charter amendment passing which would preclude the city from having its streets torn up, if I were VIA I would not spend any more money on this project."

Annual "Stop Violence Against Women" Walk
Photo submitted by Malisa Mat Sani on 5/7/2012.
The Ozarks chapter of Amnesty International held its annual "Stop Violence Against Women" walk on Saturday, April 28.
According to Amnesty International, USA, women and girls often face gender-based discrimination that puts them at increased risk of poverty, violence, ill health and a poor education. The Ozarks chapter of Amnesty International held a series of events for the week of April 23-28 to raise awareness of these issues and to encourage people to take an active role in helping end the inequality.
To see more pictures from the event, go to the album on the Ozarks Amnesty chapter facebook page.

Iraqi President Jalal Talabani claimed members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party(PKK) were prepared to lay down their arms if the Turkish government promised a pardon and the right to return home to Turkey. As of this point, the Turkish government has only indicated a willingness to grant pardons to anyone who can prove he was not involved in violent actions against civilians or the Turkish military. Prime Minister Erdogan of Turkey told members of Parliament there were no plans on the part of his administration to grant pardons to Kurds who engaged in military action. President Talabani, who is a Kurd, noted, "the PKK says it will lay down arms if amnesty ensures that PKK members will return home safely. They say they are ready to hand over their guns to the US forces and even to the Iraqis provided that there is such an amnesty." Talabani emphasized the alternative to an amnesty was continued fighting in mountainous areas. His support for amnesty diverted from the view of Massoud Barzani, leader of Kurdistan who is infuriated at Turkish air assaults on his territory and regarded them as an act of war which is killing innocent civilians.
At some point, the Turkish government has to confront a choice that many others have faced in attempting to end civil conflict– grant an amnesty and use the new opportunity to end issues that created the conflict. The British government in North Ireland worked with former terrorists to achieve peace. Prime Minister Erdogan has to grant amnesty and work with returned Kurdish rebels to provide work and education opportunities.

Beautiful. It looks like a winner.
Alright I'm thinking of a new AR build.
a Gas pistol .308 M4 clone.
I've been looking for the parts and only found a few so far. I have read good things and bad things about gas piston assy. Anybody had an experience with these??
AR10 lower
16" carbine 1/10 barrel (though I would like a 14.5)
.308 flat top upper
gas piston replacement kit
What you guys think??
"Courage is being scared to death - and saddling up anyway." - The Duke
Beautiful. It looks like a winner.
I think they are very nice!
A really hard hitting SBR.
There is no standard gas tube for this upper?
Gunco, how is this coming along?
They look NICE to me, I would also like a 14.5" 308, that is a 100% all business Gun
They Look NICE to me, I would Love a 14.5" SBR in 308 also
Looks good. Wish we could have SBRs out here in WA!
Sharp looking weapon.
How is that weapon coming along? I fired one AR in the last 30 years.
I think you said .308 cal. With that short barrel wear ear plugs.
A guy had one out at the range and if the bullet didn't hit what you were shooting at the damn blast out of those things would put the intended target into shock. Man those things are loud.

By Chris Harris
Sebastian Squillaci's suspension will NOT tempt Arsène Wenger to step up his search for a centre back on transfer deadline day.
The French defender was sent off for a professional foul in the FA Cup win over Huddersfield Town and will sit out Tuesday's Premier League clash with Everton at Emirates Stadium.
Wenger has been on the lookout for reinforcements since Squillaci joined Thomas Vermaelen on the injury list earlier this month but the 30-year-old's return to fitness seems to have eased his manager's defensive concerns.
In the wake of Squillaci's red card on Sunday, Wenger was asked if he was now likely to sign anyone before the deadline passes at 11pm (UK time) on Monday.
"No," replied the manager. "I leave these headlines to all the other clubs, but at the moment no.
"I cannot tell you definitely [I will not sign anyone] because someone might knock at my door in the morning and says 'I would like to play for you' and he is a good player, because I would sign him."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|While I do use my yard for short training sessions, I usually walk younger dogs when I get them in various places other than around the home. I want them to experience other smells and places. After they are more confident I walk them in my neighborhood. My dog classes were always near a place where we could walk in the woods on the Key deer trails and that was a fun place to walk and sniff. I don't do training with puppies while on a casual walk except to teach them to stop when I say for traffic or whatever. Luring will work to encourage a puppy to continue on past whatever their barrier is but be careful not to force it and make the pup more scared. Make your training session fun and always end on a positive note.
|My dog is over a year old and still will not walk in the neighborhood. He will walk to the stop sign at the corner and won't go any further. I used to be able to walk him, even though he pulled and pulled. Finally, I quit walking him because it was just stressing him out. He'd pull so hard that he would be choking for breath. I do blame a few of my neighbors because he was just a little puppy when I got him, and there are people here that do not keep their dogs in their own yard. Several times we had a large Weinmarner (I know its spelled wrong) approach us barking and growling. Another time someone's dog jumped their gate, a gate that was entirely too low because this dog was an excellent jumper. Though the dog did not do anything other than try to play, my 3 month old pup at the time did not find this fun. Now he plays in the backyard, and runs around at top speed without a care in the world. I can take him to the store with me, or to people's homes and he is okay walking there, so I think he just doesn't like it here.
I always have issues walking my young puppies in the neighborhood. They prefer the house yard.
Since I don't like dragging them I use the yard to poo/pee and to exercise them I pack the dogs in the car and go somewhere new. Never had problems walking them then.
PUPPY classes also help with all this, gaining confidence in leaving the 'known'.

|Introduce pleasure into your walks. Do not feed before, and train her during the walks, the rewards for some simple commands should be really tasty treats. Take a ball with you, a rope, or some other toy. Make her busy, she should learn to concentrate on you only.
|Mine is 11 weeks too! I have had to lure him with some delicious treats. Once he gets about 100 feet from our driveway, he is good and goes along with me, but those first few feet are the toughest! He has gotten better with time. I have him on a long 10 foot lead so I will walk that far away and if I bend down and hold out a delicious treat, he will always come to me (lots of praise when he gets to me!) Then repeat until I get past neighbor dogs. (btw, once we have passed that 100 ft, I keep the leash super short right by me). We want the focus to be on us when we go for walks (not on all the other distractions). Hopefully that helps!
Scared to go for walk
11 week old is scared to go for walks. She has been barked at by neighbor hood dogs now it seems like she can smell them when we go past or approach there yard and she just wants to pull away. Like ive read her i just sand there till she settles down but that never realy happens.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
If you could peer deep into one of the many cells in your body, you'd see little blobs, squiggles, and coils. These are the cell's organelles, structures that perform specialized functions in cells the same way that the lungs, heart, and other organs do in a body.
Mitochondria are the energy factories found in each cell of fungi, protozoa, insects, and animals. Once nutrients are absorbed or digested, they move in the form of minuscule molecules into the mitochondria, which convert the molecules into chemical energy to power the cell.
Chloroplasts undertake a similar function in the cells of plants, algae, and some protozoa. They capture sunlight and, through a series of chemical reactions called photosynthesis, use the light to make energy.
These organelles are absolutely essential to the existence of all higher life forms on Earth. If all of the mitochondria in our bodies were to suddenly shut down, we would die. The same is true for plants were they to lose their chloroplasts.
So where did they come from?
As microscopes improved over the years, scientists began noticing striking similarities in the appearances of mitochondria, chloroplasts, and bacterial cells. They discovered that these two organelles contain their own DNA, or gene set, organized very much like the DNA in bacterial cells.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts also reproduce independently from the cells in which they reside, in a manner very like bacterial fission.
Many microbiologists think it is likely that mitochondria and chloroplasts were once free-living prokaryotes (cells that lack a nucleus and organelles) that somehow took up residence in larger cells.
An Invading bacterium may have infected a cell, then become a permanent resident as it adapted to become less virulent, or the target cell became less susceptible. Or both.
Chloroplasts likely first entered a host cell as food before establishing a successful merger with the cell so they were not digested.

During Martin Luther King's fight to achieve equal rights for all people, a common tactic of his opponents was spreading lies about the love life of the civil rights leader. Apparently, someone in Russia has decided to employ a similar approach to transforming the fight for civil liberties into crimes of passion, and when they refer to "passion" they don't mean the passion of fighting for the rights of those who are oppressed. Izvestia printed an article claiming noted human rights activists Stanlislav Makelov and journalist Anastasia Baburova were killed because they were lovers and a jealous lover who was also a civil rights activist killed them in an fit of jealous anger. The newspaper claimed their own "investigation" had concluded that human rights had nothing to do with the killings and just blame it all on jealous lovers.
The article states the ridiculous belief that Ms. Barburova was killed because the killer thought she recognized him from human rights demonstrations. As we gather, those involved in human rights spend their time in bed making love and those shooting them are simply members of human rights groups, not those who oppose such activities.
I guess Izvestia has cleared things up for we ignorant people who actually believe there are members of the Russian government who do not like he activities of human rights supporters.

During the past few weeks there have been several cases involving children who were ordered by government officials to take specific medical treatment in order to save their lives. The Canadian Supreme Court ruled on Friday that Manitoba social workers had the legal right to force a Jehovah Witness teenage girl to get a blood transfusion even though she argued in doing so it was equivalent to being raped. It is already clear babies and young children can be compelled to have medical treatment, but this was the first case involving a "mature minor." The girl is fifteen and within a few months of becoming sixteen when legally she could make her own medical decisions.
The girl has been educated to believe in her religion that certain medical treatments violate God's laws. The Court ruled that authorities could take the views of mature minors into account, but not allow these views to be paramount in making a medical decision. If it is a life threatening situation the Court decided government could intervene.
Three psychiatrists decided "A.C." knew the consequences of her decision to reject a blood transfusion. However, has A.C. really been provided an education that enables her to make an informed decision?
