Fox News Hypes GOP Adopting Fox's Debt Ceiling Plan
Blog ››› ››› THOMAS BISHOP
Fox News host Jenna Lee touted the fact that a proposal by Fox contributor Charles Krauthammer was being considered by House Republicans. Fox has a long history of attempting to influence GOP policies and campaigns.
During the January 18 edition of Fox News' Happening Now, co-host Jenna Lee reported on a House Republican plan to increase the debt ceiling through May 1 in order to get the Senate to pass a budget. Lee noted the plan's similarity to a recommendation by Fox contributor Charles Krauthammer in an op-ed published by The Washington Post and Fox News, concluding "That was the idea put forward by Charles Krauthammer, maybe it was in the works already."
Lee is right that the GOP is considering a plan bearing a striking resemblance to Krauthammer's proposal. In an op-ed titled "How to save the Republican Party" Krauthammer noted that Republicans could not "govern from one house of Congress" but they could find "some offer that cannot be refused" :
The more prudent course would be to find some offer that cannot be refused, a short-term trade-off utterly unassailable and straightforward. For example, offer to extend the debt ceiling through, say, May 1, in exchange for the Senate delivering a budget by that date -- after four years of lawlessly refusing to produce one.
Not much. But it would (a) highlight the Democrats' fiscal recklessness, (b) force Senate Democrats to make public their fiscal choices and (c) keep the debt ceiling alive as an ongoing pressure point for future incremental demands.
Go small and simple. Forget about forcing tax reform or entitlement cuts or anything major. If Obama wants to recklessly expand government, well, as he says, he won the election.
According to a summary of Cantor's plan, the two are very similar:
House Republicans will scale back their ambitions in an upcoming fight over the nation's borrowing limit, saying Friday that they will try to pass a bill next week to raise the debt ceiling for three months. But they indicated that the Senate must pass a budget before the lawmakers would agree to a longer-term increase in the limit.
Under a bill to be considered next week, members will propose raising the debt ceiling through mid-April -- long enough, they say, to give both chambers time to pass a budget. Under the measure, if either chamber fails to adopt a budget by April 15, Congress would not be paid.
Fox News regularly gave the GOP advice during President Obama's first term. During the 2012 election, they regularly advised Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on how to defeat Obama. While Fox has been generous with its advice for Republicans, many in the media concluded after the election that Fox News hurt Republicans more than they helped.

Opening Hour
11.30 - 00.00
Opening Days
Monday - Sunday
Dishes appear to have been adapted for the tastes of the mainly foreign clientele, although the strong and spicy element can be enhanced to more authentic levels, or to please local diners. The presentation of each dish is well done, and this is one of the first restaurants where lotus flowers are used for decoration on the plates. Duck in tamarind sauce provides an interesting combination of flavours, as does three-flavour soft shell crab. Pla nueng manao is sea bass steamed in lime sauce and is another traditional dish done well. There is a limited selection of desserts.

I was hoping someone could help out here.
I´m just trying to find out if my armorpieces are big anough.
I took this pic with them taped on, and I´m just wondering if the openings between the pieces are ok or too big? And if the armor (bellyplate) low enough.
The white dot indicates where my bellybutton is.
Thanks for the help guys.


text: Wow, what a hard hitting, bone rattling game this could be. It's like two locomotives on the same track heading towards each other. The current difference between OSU and UM is 16 points. UM has an awesome defense. OSU's is just a little better. The primary difference is UM has a decent offense, OSU's is much better. This all changes however, now that Manningham is coming back into the equation. I haven't studied out how much Manningham is worth to the Wolverine offense, but if he is worth 14 points extra per game, then I would say OSU should be favored by about two points. Either team can win. I'd say UM has the taste of two defeats in their mouths so that could push the balance into UM's favor. I still say OSU will win because of Troy Smith and Mr. Sweatervest. OSU by 7.

Am I the only person that thinks it was ridiculous for these two women to wear bikinis at their weigh in? No one will take women's MMA seriously if this happens. They mind as well be oil wrestling if they're promoting the fight like this.
They wear as little clothes as possible so they have to cut as little weight as possible. Not too hard to figure out if you took the time to actually think about it.
Obviously the weight of the garment is an issue but your response is needlessly condescending. The dude has a point. I read his comment, thought he was being a prude, then checked the photos myself and I was quite shocked. Their attire is a little on the skimpy side, even the ring girls in the background are wearing more. I agree with the above, the weigh-in gear should be a little more understated if women's mma is to be taken seriously. Plus the fact that the vast majority of them are haggard pigs, it would be doing us all a favour.
i hope you are the only person. It doesn't matter, Guys wear oboxers, girls bikinis instead of regular underwear (because some punks would talk about that). What's the problem ? And by the way, they are girls, fighters, but girls, they don,t have to hide feminity just because they fight. And even if they want to be sexy for men watching, they have the right to do it. That is not a shame. I can respect them even if i find them sexy, Can you ?
A thousand thumbs up.
You found them sexy? Dear god…
Women can use sex by all means. I'd 'respect' them ass to ass. Fair?
I swear, that Cat chick… is a post-op or something. There is no way that was born female.
Lmao look at all the pics one guy has other guys holding a towel around him so he's completely naked so don't hate cause u don't fit in a bikini like that
How much do you want to bet that all the black guys win
the woman are sexy even cat that body is very good

Hi all !
Been living in the south east valley (Queen Creek) for a couple of years and missing the hunting.
Looking at getting back into duck hunting, but not familiar with where to go.
Anyone give a guy some tips on places to go that are close ?
Moved up from the Yuma/Welton area and these days that is just a little to far to go. :)
If someone is looking for a partner to go with, I am up for that too.

It's a day many thought would never happen, but here it is. Nokia has just announced that it is going into partnership with Microsoft and that Windows Phone will be its primary mobile operating system. Whoa!
Let's just take a minute to disgest what this will mean. Only a couple of days ago Nokia CEO, and former Microsoft executive, Stephen Elop spoke about Nokia being on a burning platform and needed to change its ways or perish. Well this announcement by Nokia and Microsoft is certainly a change and will send shockwaves through the mobile world. For the past couple of years Nokia has stood still in the smartphone market while iOS and Android-powered phones outshone them. This move to partner with Microsoft could be seen as Nokia's final throw of the dice in the smartphone game.
Elop, in a video annoucnement, said consumers could expect "stellar hardware, innovative software and great services" from the new partnership. Microsoft chief, Steve Ballmer, added that his company would be bringing "the brands that consumers want" like Bing, Office and of course Xbox Live. The new alliance will see Nokia build on the Windows Phone platform in areas such as imaging where it is a market leader. As well as that, Nokia's Ovi Maps will be integrated into Bing and the Ovi Store will merge with Windows Marketplace.
"There are other mobile ecosystems. We will disrupt them. There will be challenges. We will overcome them. Success requires speed. We will be swift. Together, we see the opportunity, and we have the will, the resources and the drive to succeed," a joint statement from Ballmer and Elop told the Nokia Conversations website.
In the press release Nokia said that it would be helping to bring the Windows Phone platform to a larger range of price points meaning we could be seeing budget WP7 phones sooner rather than later. Microsoft's adCenter will now also provide search advertising services on Nokia's line of devices and services.
But what I hear you ask of the beleaguered Symbian and the unknown quantity of MeeGo? Well neither is going away completely. MeeGo is to become an open source operating system. "MeeGo will place increased emphasis on longer-term market exploration of next-generation devices, platforms and user experiences. Nokia still plans to ship a MeeGo-related product later this year." Symbian on the other hand will become a franchise platform "leveraging previous investments to harvest additional value. This strategy recognizes the opportunity to retain and transition the installed base of 200 million Symbian owners. Nokia expects to sell approximately 150 million more Symbian devices in the years to come."
Obviously all this change has resulted in changes in management with the most high profile casualty coming when Alberto Torres, former head of MeeGo, quit yesterday. Not surprising really. Jo Harlow now becomes the main woman at the center of the Nokia's brave new world with Smart Devices responsibility for Symbian smartphones, MeeGo Computers and Strategic Business Operations.
Nokia in a final press release said it was unable to provide a revenue prediction for 2011 due to the uncertainty regarding its new alliance. Not surprising really considering the huge gamble (or not depending on your point of view) the company is taking. If you've managed to catch your breath let us know what you think of this very interesting news.
Update: Elop and Ballmer have just walked off stage at the Nokia Strategic Briefing this morning and they looked very pally with each other and professed cooperation and bringing products to market faster than before. Nothing else major was announced though Elop did go into why Nokia chose WP instead of Android or Symbian/MeeGo.
He said the internal option of going with Symbian and MeeGo was "concerning" as it was moving too slowly and the Android route would mean Nokia would find it hard to differentiate themselves from the sea of Android devices. He also said there would be significant reductions in R&D spending (which is no bad thing considering they spent $4 billion last year alone), also adding there would be significant reductions in employment in Finland and around the world. Not such good news. We'll bring you more as we get it from the Briefing in London.

The story of Sunshine Coast teenager Daniel Morcombe has touched us all.
Topics: daniel morcombe
The child-killer was given what is known in prison as a 'hot shower.' Yesterday he was in hospital and no one was sympathetic - except maybe his lawyer.
THE parents of slain Sunshine Coast schoolboy Daniel Morcombe have credited the quiet powerhouse behind the search for answers for locking up Brett Peter Cowan
BRUCE and Denise Morcombe say they hope a movie about their relentless search for their son Daniel will help inspire other people coping with personal tragedies.
THE jury in the Daniel Morcombe case should have been given stronger directions about possible communication between three criminals, an appeal court has heard.
UPDATE: The threat to confess to Daniel Morcombe's murder stemmed back to the inquest into the boy's disappearance, a lawyer has argued.

WQ678, New October 1995
The most important aspect of the location of your liquid-petroleum storage tank is how close it is to your drinking-water well. State well-driller regulations (RSMo 256.600) require petroleum storage tanks be located at least 300 feet from a drinking-water well. Minimum separation distances regulate only new-well installation. Existing wells are required to meet only separation requirements in effect at the time of well construction. Make every effort, however, to exceed old regulations and strive to meet current regulations whenever possible.
Although diesel fuel and fuel oil are more dense than gasoline and move more slowly through the soil, they eventually will reach groundwater.
Every site has unique geologic and hydrologic conditions that can affect groundwater movement. How quickly the petroleum product reaches groundwater also depends upon local soils. The more porous the soil (sands and gravels, for example), the faster the rate of downward movement to groundwater. You may put a new tank more than 300 feet away from your well to provide reasonable assurance that subsurface flow or seepage of contaminated groundwater will not reach your well. If possible, you should place the tank downslope from the well. Figure 1 illustrates petroleum product seepage into soils.
If you have an above-ground tank, follow existing regulations for underground storage tanks as a guide. To protect against explosion and fire, do not put tanks (especially above-ground tanks) closer than 50 feet to existing buildings. Previous regulations for placing above-ground storage tanks were concerned more with the explosion potential of tanks than the groundwater pollution potential. State agencies have revised above-ground storage-tank regulations to better protect groundwater.
Figure 1Petroleum product seepage into soils. Source: Underground Tank Corrective Action Technologies, EPA/625/6-87-015, January 1987.
Along with maintaining adequate distance from your drinking-water well, choose a location for a new tank based on the following considerations:
Whenever you install a fuel-storage tank, carefully follow the manufacturer's recommended practices for installation. Proper installation is one sure way to minimize leakage potential of the tank or the piping connected to it. Even scratches in a metal tank caused by careless installation can increase corrosion and tank deterioration.
All new underground petroleum storage tanks and related piping must be constructed of nonmetallic materials such as fiberglass or have corrosion protection. Corrosion protection includes interior liners and sacrificial anodes.
A sacrificial anode is a special material connected to the tank with a greater tendency to corrode than the tank material. The anode will typically protect the tank for up to 30 years. Interior liners are made of noncorrosive synthetic materials and also can be effective in protecting metal tanks.
All new underground storage tanks should have some kind of spill protection. This typically consists of a catch basin for collecting spills when the tank is filled. Overfill protection warns of or prevents overfill with an automatic shut-off or buzzer. Spill and overfill protection are important; they can prevent a number of small releases over a long period of time from polluting the groundwater.
State regulations for above-ground tank installation seek to reduce the potential for both pollution and fire. Requirements include enclosing the tank within a secure 6-foot fence or well-ventilated building of noncombustible material and constructing a fire wall between the fuel-dispensing area and the tank.
To decrease pollution potential, place farm tanks within a secondary containment structure consisting of a dike and a pad. All piping should be above ground within the dike or may go over the dike wall, but below-ground piping must be within 10 feet of the dike wall. Above-ground piping must be made of steel and coated to prohibit corrosion. Below-ground piping may be either steel or fiberglass. Steel tanks must be coated and cathodically protected.
Regulations for new underground tanks require that all tanks have a method of detecting leaks. Select the tank location carefully to ensure ease of installation and reliability of chosen leak-detection methods. Test the tank periodically for leaks, and measure the tank inventory on a monthly (or more frequent) basis to detect leaks before major problems develop.
Because cleanup of gasoline leaks is always costly and often not totally effective, it is important to constantly monitor underground tanks containing petroleum products.
If you already have a petroleum storage tank on your farm, know the age of your tank and establish a leak-detection program. Figure 2 shows how groundwater can be contaminated by underground tanks.
Figure 2Contamination of groundwater due to improper fuel storage and transfer. Source: Handling and Underground Storage of Fuels, Cooperative Extension Service, Michigan State University, Extension Publication WQ1. Reviewed February 1986.
Because most tanks used on farmsteads are bare steel, tank corrosion or piping problems will cause leaks sooner or later. If your tank is more than 20 years old, or if you don't know its age, make a special effort immediately to determine whether leaks exist.
You can test tank integrity through such methods as precision testing/tightness testing and volumetric analysis. State regulations prohibit some other testing methods. Air-pressure testing, for example, is prohibited if a tank has ever contained product.
Ask for a list of approved tank-testing methods and suppliers' phone numbers from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR) at 573-751-7428.
Even when a tank has been tested and proven tight, existing regulations and good practice require that you have a method for regularly detecting leaks.
Install such internal or external monitoring methods as groundwater monitoring wells, vapor monitoring, automatic tank gauging or other approved methods.
Measuring tank inventories is an inexpensive and easy way to help detect leaks. Leaks exist when there is any decrease in level over time without any withdrawal of fuel, or if there's an increase in water in the tank. Although inventory measurement will not detect small leaks, it will provide a warning that further investigation may be necessary.
If you use a measuring stick to measure tank liquid level, be sure that the stick does not puncture or damage the bottom of the tank.
The closer the tank is to the farmstead's drinking-water well, the more important it is to ensure that an adequate leak-detection system is in place.
If you find a leak or spill from any tank — whether it be above or below ground, or even a vehicle-mounted tank — state law requires that you notify the 24-hour hotline of the DNR at 573-634-2436 or your local DNR office. Take whatever actions are necessary to remedy the problem, according to recommendations you receive when you report the spill or leak.
The DNR, Division of Environmental Quality, administers the Underground Storage Tank Insurance Fund, which can reimburse participating tank owners for a substantial percentage of costs incurred in cleaning up a problem for federally regulated tanks or home-heating fuel tanks. For more information about the fund, call the DNR at 573-751-7428. Residential and farm vehicle-fuel tanks with less than 1,100-gallon capacity are not federally regulated and therefore are not eligible for this assistance.
Tanks no longer in use can cause problems for owners and operators many years later. They will continue to corrode and, if they still contain gas or oil, will likely contaminate groundwater.
Try to find unused tanks on your property. Also, try to find out whether the tanks still hold product or have holes. You must pull these tanks from the ground and dispose of them in a landfill or at a scrap dealer.
State law requires that certified individuals pull a tank. Before pulling a tank, always notify your local fire department at least one month before you have the tank pulled to ensure that precautions are taken to prevent an explosion or other problem. Deaths have occurred because of improper closure.
If you are concerned that your unused tank has been leaking, consult an environmental engineer or DNR investigator to determine if further investigation is warranted. If there is groundwater pollution in your area, your neighbors will be sure to suspect the tank as its cause. The DNR also has regulatory authority to investigate potential pollution situations and recover costs from responsible parties.
You should document steps you take to legally close your tank — including notifying the DNR, Division of Environmental Quality, that the tank has been closed — so that you are protected from legal action in the event of groundwater problems.

LAKELAND, FL (July 30, 2013) - Ana Rivera, the Puerto Rican/Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Polk County president, resigned Monday from the Lakeland Police Department Advisory Commission. She cited an expanding workload in organizing chamber events and recent medical news as her reasons for resigning. Rivera said, "I've got so many things on my plate that when I saw what we had ahead of us with the Advisory Panel, I found it's going to be a lot of work and I don't think physically I'm prepared for it."
Mayor Gow Fields said, "In a phone conversation on Monday, Ana shared with me that she and her husband were informed last Friday that he will be facing major surgery." He added, "This along with her work schedule and the work for Puerto Rican Hispanic Chamber of Commerce will be too much for her to continue. She is excited about the work of the panel and has made some suggestions for me as to who can be appointed in her place."
Mayor Fields plans to address the Lakeland Police Advisory Commission and present Rivera's replacement at their upcoming meeting on Friday, August 2nd scheduled at 3 p.m. in the City Commission Chambers at City Hall located at 228 S. Massachusetts Avenue, Lakeland, FL.
Mayor Gow Fields said, "We have assembled an advisory panel to review the current situation with LPD and City Hall in light of the State's Attorney's report to develop recommendations for making improvements." He added, "The Panel is a diverse group, spanning a range of age, experience, gender, race and political affiliation and I feel confident that they will bring a citizens' perspective to the issue."
The advisory panel will conduct their business independently from City Administration with full support to meet with any public officials including but not limited to Chief Womack or any other personnel.
The Lakeland Police Advisory Commission has been charged to define and answer questions concerning the recent controversies involving the Lakeland Police Department and suggest specific actions that can be taken to improve community trust. Specific questions to be addressed by the panel include:
· Does the City and LPD have the appropriate processes in place to address current challenges?
· What can be done to improve the culture within the LPD?
· What can be done to improve citizen trust?
The panel had their first meeting on Thursday, July 25th and during the meeting they named Bruce Abel and Tim Jackson as co-chairs.

Several months ago I hosted a roundtable discussion with public-sector CIOs from multiple Singapore government agencies. We focused specifically on social computing — how it will alter the way public-sector agencies interact with constituents and each other. While the focus was on Singapore, the key takeaways are universal, hence my interest in sharing the findings here.
In the midst of discussing the usual suspects — concerns about security, privacy, risk management, audit, and compliance — we came to a consensus on some key points:

Hi Everyone,
I posted in the Announcements thread and then realised today that there is this dedicated Introductions thread.
Just wanted to introduce myself. I live just outside London with my wife and three boys, 5 years, 3 years and 1 week old.
I've been a collector of Vintage SW toys for over 4 years now which has exposed me to many elements of the hobby. I may have met many of you UK guys at Mem's and show's over the last few years.
I have had a MR Stormie bucket as well as a Boba helmet from another source for some time, but I've always been interested in armour and I have recently been able to purchase a Stormtrooper suit. I'm not sure on the make or origins as it was bought from a fellow collector in a job lot of items. I have some work to do with it as it is already assembled but the velcro is not up to scratch and it needs some adjusting.
I have been lurking on the site for some weeks, and I love the vibe you have here aswell as some of the limelights.
Cheers guys, nice to be here.

Plan a Boy Baby Shower
Are you planning a cute boy themed baby shower for your best friend? Many people assume that boy baby showers are harder to plan. Part of the reason for this is that many people go overboard for girly baby showers, not realizing that you can have just as much fun planning a shower for a baby boy. The trick is not simply decorating your favorite venue in blue, but finding the perfect theme that goes with the mom-to-be's personality. Lucky for you, you're either related to the new mother or are her good friend, giving you exactly what you need to create the perfect baby shower that everyone is sure to remember!
Boy Baby Shower: Themes
One of the first mistakes people make when they start planning a baby shower for a boy is assuming that they have to have a traditional baby shower. While blue is an all time favorite theme for a boy baby shower, there are other options. Really, with all the products on the market today, the sky (not just sky blue!) is truly the limit when it comes to planning a boy themed baby shower. The only thing you have to do is make sure you include a touch of blue in with your theme in the form of party decorations or unique party favors. If you don't yet know what theme is right for your shower, don't worry, there are dozens of different themes to choose from! Some of our favorite baby shower themes include:
- Light Blue (Traditional)
- Rubbery Ducky
- Sports
- Baby Animals
When many people start planning for their boy themed baby shower, they start putting so much of their attention on decorations that they sometimes forget about games. If you think back, you will likely realize that some of the most memorable things you remember about your friend's baby showers is that they all includes fun, unique games. While you can spend hours on the internet looking for games, there are also premade games to make things easier on you as a host. Some of our favorite baby shower games that are perfect for a boy baby shower include:
- Baby Shower Bingo
- Baby Shower Charades
- Baby Shower Themed Scratch Off Tickets
- Baby Raffles
- Baby List Games
Boy Baby Shower: Party Decorations & Mementos
Probably the most fun part of a boy themed baby shower is finding the perfect decorations for the party. Everyone knows to purchase boy themed banners, streamers, and balloons, but what about other unique decorations? One of our all-time favorite decorations that always gets attention is cake toppers. These toppers can easily turn a boring cake into something to be remembered, especially with a cute blue teddy bear, stroller, or even rocking horse. Best of all, this cute cake topper can be given later to the new mom as a memento from the baby shower. Remember, with the right decorations and party games, you can easily make the perfect boy themed baby shower. Don't forget to purchase some thank you notes and sticky notes to help mom keep track of all of her awesome gifts. Once the party the good time is over, she will thank you for the notes and the wonderful baby shower to celebrate her new little boy!


text: I shall be visiting a friend in late April/May. I've spent some time in Toronto before, but never been to Montreal or anywhere else in Canada. Main thing: generally, what is the weather like at said time of year? I spent time in TO in January and February two years ago and am scarred for life Is it still pretty cold come mid-April? I've looked in some guide books and they've said it can snow in April?! Also, suggestions for places to go in both cities please? Aaaaaaaaaaaand.... Ottawa. Quebec City. Should we? Merci


text: I picked up a unique gun at a local gun show recently, a nickle plated pinfire revolver, probably 9mm. I was able to research a fair amount of information about it but still had a few questions I haven't been able to answer. I did discover from a proof mark the revolver was made in the city of Liège in Belgium and the "ELG" is the proof mark used by this city from 1811 until January 1893. It has the letter "L" with a crown above the revolver showing it was made between 1853 and January 1877. There is another mark on the frame, near the left front, beneath the cylinder a "VP" that I haven't been able to figure out yet. The gun is in EXCELLENT condition and operates perfectly. My question is can anyone tell me what the VP means and what this little gem may be really worth. FYI, I got it for less than $200 so even if it's never fired again it will be a nice conversation piece.

At this point it pretty much turns into me occasionally shooting at the person over in the other corner and the person 15 feet away from me in the snake, I never got either of them out because I got shot in the center of my left shoulder blade
They were good people but I really over expected things in the terms of tactics.

it was my first time ever playing airball and i was playing with these 2 guys that were on a team. so after a few minutes, we are the only ones left, and the 2 guys are yelling back and forth enemy postions to us using abrieviations like d2, s1, ect. i had no clue what they were saying so i asked one of the guys in the middle of the game what d3 meant and he replied "it means dorito 3" and i was like lolwat?
one of my first times playing indoor after not playing for a few years i was playing with a professional team who were running a fun practice thing, they explained to me what they were calling the bunkers but i kept thinking that s3 was FARTHEST from us, so i was in dorito corner and saw a guy slide into snake, he snapped out and i started yelling out s3 s3 s3 our snake player thinking the guy was RIGHT in front of him jumps up and goes to bunker him, runs down an empty bunker and gets lit up by the snake player who was actually in s1 which i thought was s3, and in the middle of the game one of the other pro players started to explain to me exactly what happened and why i got him shot the fuck up, he wasn't happy when he walked off and i felt terrible like a dog that peed on the carpet, so i went and apologised and he was cool about it and said don't worry but when it happened i was like lolwut the whole time and he stopped just as he went past the empty bunker and had this look of LOLWUT....*pain*..."out"... still feel bad about it to this day lol

I asked him if he had modified the spring inside the regulator.
He told me "I bought it that way!". And shortly after that "We were playing like this forever".
I also took a look at his mask and thought it was dirty, no the Mask was severly damaged...
Another day me and a friend were playing some 1vs1, and we were running and gunning around the X in the middle. Unloaded a full Hopper and none of that freaking balls broke...
After that we were looking at the Owner "Hey did you switch to reballs".

Same game, the guy that shot me was shot by our back right. Nice shot too. Guy walks down whole side of the field and gets in his face in the middle of the game and screams assorted profanity at him. It was kinda funny because our guy completely disregarded that fact he was there lol.
A few games later, my friend and I playing pump are at two rockets (perpendicular to each other on the field, about at the 25-30). I get hit, I walk out. He's still in. This guy runs up to try to bunker him, misses all of the five shots he fired and gets hit once by my friend only to have it break on him. My friend resumes his concentration on the guy he's snapshooting, with the guy yelling at him that he was out and everything. He then turns around and walks to our home player and shoots him for no reason pretty close from what I heard. The kid is ten. I wasn't there, but that was my friend (the other pump)'s recollection of it.
Almost all of the people were over 300 (field likes you to be at about 290, they were all around 315-320) and were really bitchy about having to chrono. Guys had their barrel socks off and one shot the ground and a piece bounced off and hit me in the face, kinda near my eye. I told him, "Bro, put your sock and and turn your gun off!"
All he basically said was, "I didn't shoot you, I don't really care, and neither does anyone else." Then he proceeds to walk away with his gun still on and his sock still off.
Also, the little ten year old was told by his cousin to go bunker the snake, so he does, but doesn't know that there are two in the snake. Therefore, bunkers one and gets shot a couple times from close range. Kid goes and starts crying, but he was only shot about 4 times. The kid's cousin (about 25, big guy, kinda muscular, won't take any shit,) gets up in the guy's face. Later he apologized because he realized he didn't shoot him that much. The guy was really pissed at his cousin though.
Weird night, Friday was.

It was so much more funny in person because he's like 4foot7 and he has a huge ass project salvo with which he insists on hip firing at all times.
When he got hit, he dropped his gun, fell to the ground and started rolling around screaming RAMBO DOWN! RAMBO DOWN!!!!!

Another one is when I was playing woodsball, I was 1v1 on a guy with a much better marker, he was laying down some serious paint, and I was just trying to not get out. I started backing up, nearly fall, and he shoots my hopper off. So I lean down to pick it up, all the while backpedaling, trying not to fall, and picking up my hopper, I pull my butt cheek muscle, stand straight up and get clocked in the mask. I was laughing, I guess it has to happen to you for it to be funny lol

I find myself directly beside the flag station. About two people a minute from the other team run up to the flag station and i get them all out.
on the right side of the station there is a pathway, and a big group of small trees is between me and the pathway. Some guy runs up the path, sees me through the trees, unloads like 50 balls on me with his ego, but none of his brittle paint gets through the brush. I watch this and wait until he runs out of paint, walk around the brush, and shoot him out while hes reloading. The ref/owner of the field that was chillin with me was like lolwut?

No joke, we were using different paintballs with different shell and fill and he said he clearly saw it go inside his barrel, upon further inspection one of my paintballs was busted up inside his barrel.

CIA Diector Michael Hayden claimed there was proof the killing of Benazir Bhutto was committed by agents of al-Qaeda. "You've got this nexus now," he said, "that probably was always there in latency, but is now active: a nexus between Al-Qaeda and various extremist and separatist groups." Many people in Pakistan argue the Musharraf government had a hand in the death of Bhutto, but, the American CIA apparently has its own sources which point elsewhere. President Musharraf insists the February 18 election will proceed according to schedule and ruled out the formation of any national unity government prior to the electorial process.
Of course, President Musharraf requested an investigation by Scotland Yard concerning the killing of Bhutto, but the CIA apparently has trumphed the English police by establishing the cause of death. Unfortunately, most Pakistanis will not believe anythingthat emanates from the CIA and will await the Scotland Yard conclusion. There may be times when silence from the CIA would be beneficial.

text: i own both and can describe the loaded chamber indicator for you, on the sigs, it isn't very obvious unless you know what you are looking at. loook at your sig's ejection port from the side, with your grip to the left and barrel tip to the right. at the bottom left corner on the ejection port, there is a horizontal rectangular peice of steel about 1/8" by 3/8". when you look down on the slide from the top, this peice is slightly recessed into the slide while the chamber is empty. when a round is in the tube, the rectangular piece with become slightly raised to the side, indicating a round is in the chamber. slightly lame, and i still manually check the chamber with sigs. my berettas have the same style, only more axaggerated and easier to 'read'. i personally keep all my handguns loaded unless i'm cleaning them so that i don't have to wonder if i have a round chambered or not.

I have been requested to make a few SVT 40 cleaning rods. so far I have recieved an original one to work from. I special ordered material allready rolled to the proper O.D. ... it was a bit pricy but I allready have it here.
so here is ware I am now, I need some kind of idea what demand their is for them before I decide on tooling to either custom make or buy. if I am going to make 3 pieces I will aproach things differantly than if I am going to make 10 of them.
the expected price will be between 35 and 45 delivered depending on how things go.. I am told by a friend that has asked me to make some that they go for something like $100 on ebay and actualy sell. certainly I can make a very nice part that will be extreamly dificult to tell the differance for a hotbarrel price.
if you have any intrest in possably getting one please let me know. this way I will know how to start things along.
going to buy the die ASAP either way!!
thanks for reading HB

Havas has a simple mission—To Better Together—doing good and doing well for brands and for the world. Our unique structure employs a single P&L, with all disciplines, including media, housed within a village construct. This fuels a cooperative and collaborative work culture where transformational creative ideas can come from anywhere—manifested not only as advertising, but also as snackable social content, consumer activism, data-driven personalized experiences, and meaningful two-way conversations. At the core of our approach, we uncover human truths that power timeless meaningful brand platforms, enabling us to forge deeper connections between people and brands.
These days, the best advertising often isn't even advertising at all.
What started off as friendly banter involving Post-it notes and a handful of agencies on New York City's Canal Street has become a viral global phenomenon, reaching as far as Manchester and Tokyo. But through all the displays of multicolored artwork, the biggest winner in the "Post-it wars" has been the Post-it brand.
It all started two weeks ago, when "Hi" appeared on a window of a building at 75 Varick Street. Across the street at 200 Hudson Street, agency Havas Worldwide responded with "Sup." Companies including Biolumina, Cake Group, Getty Images, Harrison and Star and Heartbeat Ideas jumped in with their own Post-it displays.
The back-and-forth resulted in thousands of pictures and posts appearing on Twitter and Instagram around the hashtags #canalnotes and #postitwars. The two hashtags combined have been used over 10,000 times between May 11 and May 24, according to Amobee Brand Intelligence. Post-it got a lift in brand recognition worth $2 million from all the social, digital, print and digital exposure, according to sponsorship analytics firm Apex Marketing Group. More than three-quarters of this lift can be attributed to social and digital, said Eric Smallwood, managing partner at the firm.
3M's sticky note has not only helped agencies craft everything from The Simpsons' Marge and Maggie to the Snapchat ghost icon on their windows, but has also been quick to jump in on all the social media action. The brand sent deliveries of Post-it notes to all the participating agencies — including Havas Worldwide and Horizon Media — and also retweeted the agencies, pinned posts and shared several posts on its Instagram account, using the hashtags #positwars and #canalnotes. (Not to be left out, Staples sent reinforcements of its generic in-house stickies brand.) Post-it tweeted or retweeted 111 times in the past two weeks, according to social analytics firm Brandwatch.
"While the initial activation was organically sparked by the Canal Street agencies, we were tipped off by buzz and conversations on social media," said Jeff Hillins, global business director of the 3M stationery and office supplies division. 3M jumped in with what he called a "a supply and amplify approach."
"What could have been an event that reaches only a few blocks is now extending around the world, thanks to online buzz," said Kristen Nozell, strategist at Red Peak Branding. "By participating, 3M shows that they are a brand that celebrates and enables this kind of creative expression — and they make this statement in a very organic and authentic way since they joined in, rather than pushing the message."
Tapping into the cultural zeitgeist is the most powerful way to build brand equity, said Agathe Blanchon-Ehrsam, global CMO at Vivaldi Partners. That explains why brands have increasingly started paying more attention to social chatter. It also pays to listen — just consider TGI Friday's response to Deadpool's reference of it or how Vans got in on the action with the "Damn Daniel" meme exploding.
For agencies, the #postitwars exercises were a way to unleash some creative juices, even if they come at the expense of not billing clients. "The level of participation transcended teams," said Maikel O'Hanlon, vp of social media strategy at Horizon Media. "It became an opportunity for a lot of people to unlock their creativity, and that was the most rewarding aspect."
While the battle may still be raging for some, Havas declared victory in the Post-it war yesterday — creating a single, gigantic illustration in the form of a "mic drop" made up of 6,000 Post-it notes that spans several floors and the entire façade of its building. The declaration isn't necessarily premature: Amobee ranked Havas the highest among the participating agencies, with a 41 percent digital engagement, based on what content people are seeing, interacting with and engaging with the most online.
"It is a testament to Havas' creative command and an expression of our creative culture," said Laura Maness, president at Havas New York. "We wanted to go out with a bang."

The obvious answer
Climate science appears to be just like any other science. At least, this is the conclusion from a fresh publication by Marianne Ryghaug and Tomas Moe Skjølsvold ("The global warming of climate science: Climategate and the construction of scientific facts" in International studies in the philosophy of science). This finding is not news to the research community, but this analysis still hints that everything is not as it should be – because why would anyone report from a crime scene if the alleged crime has not even been committed?
The background of this story (the "crime scene") is a 'Science and technology Study' (STS) by Ryghaug and Skjølsvold, who attempted to make some sense out of the leaked e-mails from CRU for clues on how climate scientists work. I must admit that I sometimes see some irony when reading texts from social sciences about the 'tribalism' of natural sciences. For instance, many of them use a very formalised language that can be hard to follow, while they describe different parts of the science community as 'tribes' with its own norms, codes, and dialects.
One real difference between the 'tribes' of natural scientists and STS scholars may be the perception of 'facts': Ryghaug and Skjølsvold conclude that "scientific facts are made and not just discovered". In contrast, I think most natural scientists feel that facts are facts, whether we know about them or not. Nuclear reactions and atoms were real, even before people knew about them. But Ryghaug and Skjølsvold's assertion that "Fact-construction relies on persuasive skills" may give some people the wrong idea about how things work, perhaps ironically a bit like the word "trick" in the CRU e-mails.Our scientific knowledge embodies the most convincing description we have of our universe, so I think they really mean that science is a 'knowledge construction', which involved publishing in the scientific literature, testing, review, etc. It seems to me that 'facts' for them refers to 'established facts' in the scientific knowledge. And construction is in a sense a bit like traditional mathematics which to a greater degree is based on a logical construction rather than sudden discoveries (the final answer sometimes can be seen as a discovery nevertheless).
But facts are based on discoveries too – for sure! Like the discovery of penicilin, evolution by natural selection, the DNA, and the photoelectric effect. After the discovery, findings are interpreted, and the new knowledge must find a place in the framework based on all other knowledge since we like to think that our universe is self-consistent.
Ryghaug and Skjølsvold argue that science is about communication, discussions, and persuasion. That may come as a surprise to some people, but it is fairly obvious to me. The author of Don't be such a scientist, Randy Olson, argues that communication is an integral and essential part of sciences that cannot be separated from the objective and analytical aspects. It does a scientist no good at all if their discoveries are not effectively transmitted to the wider community.

to the Stamford Bicycling Meetup Group (SBMG). This is a great place to meet other local cyclists in a social setting were you can make friends, find riding buddies, participate in rigorous training sessions, or rip-up the trails...what ever you want. And, if you just want to relax, kick back & do leisure rides SBMG is also a good place for you. This group is geared to beginner, intermediate & advanced bikers interested in cycling whether for fitness, competition, or recreation.
The SBMG is a motley crew of riders that meet up in and around the Stamford area to do various types of bicycling. We have mountain/off-road bikers that ride at Mianus Park after work during the week, and street riders that meet for casual rides as well a fast paced endurance rides around Stamford.
This Meetup is actually a social networking forum more than a group. The forum is a means for people in the biking community to find each other and get together for rides. As such SBMG welcomes and support community originated event. You can think of the SBMG website as a community message board dedicated toward bicycling in Stamford, Norwalk, Greenwich, Rowayton, and beyond. When you are thinking about doing a bike ride, please use the SBMG to find others that are also interested.
Who We Are
The Stamford Bicycling Meetup Group (SBMG) is a group of bicycle enthusiasts looking to meet up with others to go cycling. This group is for people of all skill levels and of all biking types (recreational, endurance, leisure, mountain, road, etc.). We meet regularly for in Stamford, Greenwich, and Rowayton, Norwalk, but also plan meetups in other areas, for rail trail, road, and off-road rides.
If you are a beginner, this is the place to start. You will meet others who can give you advice before you buy any gear. If you are an experienced cyclist, this group is an ideal way to meet other bikers to talk about gear, local routes, and to plan trips. Cyclist of all levels are welcome!
SBMG is a social network forum, not a club, training facility, or outfitter. All events are common adventures, are non-autocratic in nature, and not for profit (unless hosted specifically by a business, institution, or outfitter following a different liability model). SBMG, its organizers, and its members assume no legal and or civil responsibility for or to any individual or event.
We Encourage Safe Cycling
We suggest for safety reasons that everyone ride with a helmet, in a legal manor, and in a cycle-pods of three to five. The forum makes it possible for novice, intermediate, and advanced bikers to find each other and form safe ride pods. Road cyclists should follow rules of the road. Off road bikers should follow rules of the park. The social nature of the group allows members to share safety tips and skills in a non-structured friendly format. Safety is your responsibility!
How We Set Up Events
The Stamford Bicycling Meetup Group (SBMG) is not a leader-dictated Meetup group, but a member-driven forum. Bicycle enthusiasts are welcome to join the forum and suggest locations for common-adventure rides. All members can suggest a place, date, and time for a bike-ride event. In fact, SBMG relies heavily on individual members to put events on the calendar.
When two other members decide to attend the suggestion moves to the calendar and is announced to the group as an event. (Some events are moved to the calendar by one oftheSBMG moderatorswith less than three people on the RSVP list.) Once it is on the calendar it is no longer a suggestion, but an event and it gets announced to the group by e-mail. Whenever you visit the SBMG page,you should check the SUGGESTED events page to see if there is a suggested event that you might want to attend.
Many people worry that if they suggest a ride too many bikers will show up and they would be responsible for a large group. Most of the SBMG events attract about 1% of the members, which is about 2 to 4 bikers. That is just the right size for a group ride. Members just need to be specific on the day, time, and place (as well as bike-ride type, skill level, pace, etc.) when making a suggestion. The events are common adventures, so you are not responsible for others, just yourself, but there is always safety in numbers. However, you should be very specific about the bike-ride type, skill level, and pace of your suggested ride. It is not a good idea for bikers of a single podto havea mixed expectation of the ride... it just leads to disappointment and a ride pod break down. In short, be clear in your suggestion description and others with like-mindedthinking will join you (i.e. clearly state road ride, mountain bike ride, novice, intermediate, advance, short, long, fast pace, leisure pace, free-ride, trail-ride, etc.)
SBMG wants all its members to feel free to make ride event suggestions. Such suggestions can be novice leisure rides in a park or rail-trail (with picnic and frequent stops), intermediate-level day road rides, or advanced-skill mountain bike rides. Anyone can take the initiative to add bike-ride events to the calendar. And, this is the best way to get events that work for your personal schedule and skill level so you never have to ride alone.
Ideas for Meetups
We are interested in finding racers and triathlon riders that want to do a more rigorous training ride. If you are interested in training with others then please suggest a date, time, and place for likeminded cyclists to meet up with you for a ride. In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is fast-paced and rigorous.
We are have many members that want to meet up for local leisure exercise in local streets and parks. Cycling is an ideal way to relieve the stress of the day and to get the 30 to 60 minutes of cardio recommended for a healthy life-style. The SBMG forum is the ideal way to get the benefits of cycling while also forming a network of like-minded people to socialize with before, during and after the ride. If you are interested in daily exercise bike rides that are not rigorous training ride but more leisure in nature, maybe along the route to Calf Pasture Beach in Norwalk, or between Cummings Beach and Shippan Point in Stamford, or along Shore road in Old Greenwich, or where ever, then please suggest a date, time, and place for likeminded cyclists to meet up with you for a ride. In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is leisure-paced and exercise oriented.
We are always looking for people to lead recreational rides throughout Connecticut and the neighboring states. If you are interested in exploring the many bike routes and rail/trails in the area or doing multi-night bike touring others then please suggest a date, time, and place for likeminded cyclists to meet up with you for a ride. In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is leisure-paced and recreational in nature.
Our most active group members are mountain bikers. We have novice to advanced mountain bikers that post off-road rides, mostly in Mianus River Park on the Stamford, but if you are looking to meet up with people to ride other locations then we encourage you to post suggestions. In your suggestion make it clear that the nature of the ride is off-road. State the paced and style of your ride. Use descriptors such as cross-country, trail, free-ride, and dirt jumping as these are well known terms. Also, state if your ride suggestion is novice, intermediate, or advanced in nature.

Wow, I am so pleased with the service provided. We are from out of the area and was looking for a florist who could send my 5 year old granddaughter a balloon bouquet. She broke her arm while playing on the monkey bars at kindergarten. I called and spoke with a man and he laid out a cute arrangement and texted the photo for me. It was perfect. Called back and spoke with Spring (I think) and she made payment easy for me. If I lived local I would recommend them to everyone I came across but will definitely use them ant time we need flowers for friends and relatives in the area.
Dawn P.
You did a great job on flowers for my children's grandmother's funeral. It was July and hot out but the flowers looked fabulous. Thank you.. very nice job.

There is nothing like a rivalry between two teams, especially two close neighbors. The Canisius College men's and women's swimming and diving teams will travel north to renew their rivalry with Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference foe Niagara on Saturday afternoon at the Oxy Aquatic Center.
Last Time Out for Canisius
The Golden Griffin men and women returned to the water after over a month off from competition. Returning to action, the Griffs traveled to Gannon University on Jan. 12 to face the host Knights at the Carneval Athletic Pavilion. In men's action, the Griffs rallied from a 24-point deficit to defeat the Knights, 111-94, while the women fell to the 19th nationally-ranked Knights, 127-78. Diving was not contested in the dual due to facility issues.
In the men's dual, Gannon pushed its lead to 49-25 through the first four races with first-place finishes in each race to start the day. Everything would change during the 400-yard IM, as the Griffs grabbed the momentum with sophomore Sam Hansen's first-place finish (4:18.01). The Griffs continued to battle back until senior Shawn Parkhurst gave his team their first lead of the day, 76-74, capturing first place in the 100-yard backstroke (53.97) with a season-best performance. The Griffs went on to secure first place in each of the next six individual races en route to victory.
On the women's side, the host Knights entered the weekend ranked 19th in the recent College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Division II Swimming and Diving national rankings. The Griffs were faced with quite a challenge from the start with the Knights recording first-place performances in each of the four opening races. Freshman Clare Battaglia snapped the string of top finishes for the Knights with a first-place performance (4:44.88) in her first collegiate race in the 400-yard IM. This season, Battaglia has captured 14 first-place finishes in 19 total races for the Golden Griffins.
Scouting Niagara
The Purple Eagle men and women are looking to bounce back after being swept by Big Four rival University at Buffalo on Jan. 12. The Niagara men fell to the Bulls, 147-80, as the women dropped a 139-96 decision.
In the sweep, Lindsey Jackson, Carl Roycroft, and Shane Baxter each nabbed first-place finishes for the Purple Eagles with Aubrey Kettrick breaking her own school record in the 200-yard freestyle. Despite the outcome, both squads took first place in the 200-yard freestyle relay to end the day.
The Purple Eagles will be fighting for more than just the rivalry after last year's sweep, as 11 seniors will be swimming in their final home dual at the Oxy Aquatic Center on Senior Day.
Previous Meeting Between Niagara and Canisius
In the previous meeting between the Purple Eagles and Golden Griffins, the host Griffs closed out their regular season on Senior Day by sweeping the Purps at the Koessler Athletic Center Pool on Jan. 21. The Canisius men revenged a one-point loss to the Purple Eagles the previous season with a 159-84 victory, while the Golden Griffin women overturned the outcome of past duals by defeating Niagara, 151-92. On the women's side, the win credited head coach Scott Vanderzell with his first dual win over Niagara.
Sophomore Marissa Oakey dominanted the freestyle events in the Griffs' win, as she set a pair of Koessler Athletic Center Pool records with first-place performances in the 200-yard and 500-yard events. Junior Anna Schena would capture top-finishes in both the 1000-freestyle and 200-butterfly. The Golden Griffins also swept both the 400-yard medley and 400-yard freestyle relays.
To open the day, the Griff men swept the top two spots in the 400-yard medley relay with first- and second-place finishes. Parkhurst led the Griffs with a pair of wins in both the 1000-yard freestyle and 200-yard butterfly. Sophomores Sam Hansen and Nick Sereday would each capture two second-place finishes as freshman.
At last year's MAAC Men's and Women's Swimming and Diving Championships, each Golden Griffin squad nabbed a top-five finish at the conference finale with both Niagara squads placing eighth overall. Both Canisius teams recorded their highest point-totals and best overall-finishes in program history. The Griff men secured a second-place finish with 587.50 points and the women finished fifth with 331.50 points.
The Rivalry Continues
With a rivalry that is almost 100 years old, the battle between Canisius and Niagara has raged on for decades. According to historical records, the two schools first met on the basketball court in 1904.
Given the rich history of such a rivalry, the respective schools established an all-sports competition in an effort to enhance the competition between the two schools with the victor taking possession of the Canal Cup. Thus, the Battle of the Bridge was born. Points are awarded to the winner of regular-season contests, except for cross country, golf, and swimming and diving, which will be determined based on the teams' overall finish at each MAAC Championship.
Although no points will be up for grab on Saturday afternoon, the Battle of the Bridge and rivalry between the two schools will be strong leading to the showdown at the MAAC Men's and Women's Swimming and Diving Championships on Feb. 14-16 at the Burt Flickinger Center in Buffalo, N.Y.

I think if he mantains his current consistency and jumping there is no way he will be denied a spot. The other is alot tricker and it is possible any of Abbott, Lysacek, Dornbush, Miner, Rippon, Farris, Brown, could factor into that.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive back Ronde Barber has opted to retire after 16 seasons with the team. Barber was the final link to to many of the great Tampa Bay legends on defense like Derrick Brooks, Warren Sapp and John Lynch. Barber had started in 215 consecutive starts, tied for sixth-most of all-time and the most at his position and his 240 consecutive games played is tied for seventh all-time. He finishes his career with 1,234 combined tackles, 28 sacks, 16 forced fumbles, 12 fumble recoveries, 47 interceptions, eight INT TDs, four fumble recovery TDs, and 14 non-offensive touchdowns (fourth most of all-time).
Fantasy Analysis:
Barber isn't a lock for Hall of Fame and that's my opinion. Barber was never the best cornerback in the league, but his longevity and production puts him in near-elite company. His name is not quite on par with Deion Sanders or even Champ Bailey, but he did win a Super Bowl. Alongside his teammates though, he will probably be the last to go. Sapp is in, Brooks will get in eventually and Lynch also feels like a Hall of Famer. Former head coach Tony Dungy is almost assuredly going to get in as well. As part of an iconic championship defense, Barber has a chance to enter the Hall, it might just take a few extra years.

Over the last two years, DigitalGlobe set out to expand the company's ability to download imagery quicker and cover more of the earth's surface within a shorter window of time. The result is a much shorter period of time between data collection to product delivery. I sat down with Jeff Culwell, DigitalGlobe's director of Satellite Control Systems, at his office in Longmont, Colorado, for a better understanding of how the improvements were accomplished.
DigitalGlobe's Remote Ground Terminal (RGT) expansion project began in 2010. (See figure at right: Norwegian Polar Institute – Antarctic Research Station & Kongsberg Satellite Services TrollSat Ground Station)
The first phase of the operation added four new ground terminals in Asia that allowed DigitalGlobe to capture 50% new capacity and improve latency by 34%. The last terminal in this phase was added in late 2011.
The second phase adds three terminals in North America. In all, the new RGT's cover about 45% of earth's land mass and 90% of earth's surface within 20 minutes. Phase two has been completed in August 2012. (Figure below: Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) – TrollSat Ground station antenna Looking North)
