Or anybody else with a clue!! It's like this; in 1983 I bought a limited edition Colt Government Model .45 auto from the Colt Custom Gun Shop, 200 units made, the Vietnam Special Edition. It has a slide described in the accompanying letter as "photo-engraved, chemically etched and selectively gold plated.", and cocobolo grips with Custom Shop medallions. I recieved it in the original shipping box, unopened, with the rosewood (I think) presentation case topped by a glass plate etched with a map of Vietnam.
In the 16 years since, the magazine has been removed and the action worked exactly once, because I could somehow just not allow a firearm in the house which I had not personally confirmed was either loaded or unloaded. Otherwise it sat in its case.
I have never owned a bullet which would fit it.
I did not buy it for its value to anyone else, it was never an investment. But now I have to consider that someday my children will own it, and they might care. My thought has been in the past that with 3 million vets of that war and 200 copies of this special edition, its value just might have escalated into the seriously stupid region. Also might not. I bought it as a memory for my big brother and myself, both of us having served, and I never intended to shoot it. But that was then, and this is now.
My problem is twofold; first, I obviously need to disassemble and clean this lovely thing (I have no idea how) before it rusts away; but more to the point, I've realized that in about a year now, on 14 June 2000, it will be 30 years since my brother took one in the chest from a sniper in what is described in an upcoming book as "the last major battle of the Vietnam war", Firebase Ripcord, and died in the arms of the wounded man he had gone to rescue, within minutes. On that day I want to shoot this gun. If anybody has to ask why, they wouldn't understand. After that I may just use it as an occasional carry gun (how stupid is THAT?)
I think I already know what I'm going to do, but I do have some interest in how much it will cost my kids. Won't cost me but the price of the ammo, since I will have it for my lifetime.
Also, being .45 challenged, what kind of ammo do I want, kick-ass brutal stuff, teach that paper target a LESSON!? I have no interest in target ammo, I would really prefer for it to HURT when I shoot it. A lot.
Thanx a bunch for any help you can give me, I'd rather go into just about anything with a bit of knowledge of the potential cost.

I don't think that gun is going to rust away. Most of those cases were treated with a rust preventive.
From a value viewpoint, I would NOT shoot it or work the action, but you have personal reasons that may outweigh dollar values.
Oddly, I can't find that gun listed in the Colt Commemorative list I have, so I don't have a price on it.
If you do fire it, clean the barrel and wipe the breech face with a patch without stripping the pistol. Then wipe it lightly with a soft, oiled cloth. Working or firing any of those guns cuts value by as much as 4/5, so a $1000 gun becomes a $200 gun just because someone wanted to shoot it.
The .45 Colt is a fine pistol. If you want one to fire but which also has a history, buy a genuine GI pistol, which might have been in Vietnam, and shoot it with little concern about decreasing the value.

My first reaction was going to be - no don't fire it, you'll greatly devalue it. That was until I got to your reason for wanting to fire it. That is certainly a noble reason to fire it and makes your decision extremely difficult. Have you considered an alternative, that is to try to find a gun similar to the one your brother carried, perhaps from the same year, and fire that instead? This would be a fitting tribute and at the same time would keep the memorial gun as pristine as it should be. In the long run, it would also be cheaper. But that reason is far down the list considering your feelings for your brother.

I have checked my most recent publication of Colt Commemoratives and cannot locate the one you are requesting a value. "Been There, Done That, RVN and understand your feelings.
As I reserched this piece, I noticed that the other 1911 Commemoratives are chambered for ball ammunition only. As the originals were chambered and tolorances fed the ball ammo. this would make sense. There are "ball guns" that will feed wad cutter etc. but I would surmize the "Ball" would be the ammo to use if you decide to fire it.
The suggestion to fire another piece like the one you have is an excellant suggestion. The results would be the same, physically, however, maybe not mentally.

Maybe get a little brass plaque made up with the story and keep it with the gun.
At the risk of sounding like a tree-hugger, I think you could find another way of honoring your brother than shooting a gun. Were it me, as soon as I fired the gun I would be struck with the idea that a gunshot was the last thing my brother heard before he left this world. It would bother me. But I know you have personel reasons.
I say go to Arlington on that special day. Walk the grounds with all the men and women who gave so much to secure our freedom. Visit the Vietnam Memorial. Walk the Wall and think about all the men that gave some much in that conflict. I went a few months ago and it was really very moving. It will mean a lot more to then burning a little gunpowder.
Let us know what you decide and all my thanks to all our vets.

Sound advice. I have experienced the Wall, both in D.C. and I organized and completed to have the wall come to my home town. Both experiences were as you described.

Fascinating. Letter dated 30 April, 1983 on Colt Industries letterhead (I can scan and include it in an e-mail if anyone wants).
Dear Mr. Palm:
The following information is being inserted in the Colt records:
Colt Government Model Automatic Pistol
Vietnam Special Edition
200 Units
Serial Number: 83343B70
Caliber: .45 ACP
Finish: Royal Blue
Type of Stocks:Cocobolo with Custom Shop medallions
Shipped to: Northeast Gun &Supply Co. Inc.
Address: 6 Brook Road
Needham, Massachussetts
Date of Shipment: December 4, 1981
The concept that Colt suddenly does not remember this firearm is a bit stunning to me. I'll consider that and get back later.
Meanwhile, I have been to the Wall several times, I don't know if I could survive another, though I'm sure I'll try eventually. For those who have not, let me say this; the first time, I thought it was so silly it wasn't worth considering, but I was in the area, so what the heck...
I basically crawled away, and if my bride hadn't been along to guide me I might still be there. Pictures don't work, drawings don't work, if you care you gotta go.

larry, colt probably produced your 1911 as a special production run for the company named in the letter. colt did not offer it directly, so would have no reference to it as such. still,it would have interest to some collectors,and unfired would bring the highest price. i understand your dilemma and your reason for wanting to fire it. can't say your reason for firing it is bad, but maybe a substitute would be better if collector value is an issue.

I have to admit that I cringed when I read you worked the action that one time. Then I read the rest of your post.
""I did not buy it for its value to anyone else, it was never an investment. But now I have to consider that someday my children will own it, and they might care.""
I can see no better reason for you and your children to fire it untill the springs get soft and the pins work loose.
Would you spend a thousand dollars cash for a fitting tribute to your brother? I think you would. It's the same thing. The monetary sacrifice is nothing compared to the sacrifice your brother and thousands of others made in that war. I think that that will be the true value of the gun when you pass it to your children, and to their children...
My deepest respects for the sacrifices your family has made for us.

Forget the value of the gun before and after. You want to honor your brother-do it. I doubt that you will ever regret it.
Get someone who knows how to clean and lube the gun before and after and keep it as the family heirloom it will become.
Better days to be,

I am having white bean tempeh mini burgers, macaroni and cheese (from a box! I am not in the diet challenge) and bok choy stirfried with onions, sesame chili oil, and chunks of granny smith apple. And probably a tangerine and a juice spritzer.
I'm using my 700-ml stainless steel bento box, so I heated it up in a toaster oven that I'm not supposed to have in my office. So far three people have asked me what I'm up to that smells so good. I'm fine so long as I hide the toaster again when I'm done!
Come on, other camera-less, blog-less bento makers! What did you eat on Day 1?
Hee, oh alright.
My Day 1 was Monday 12th and I had...
White rice (we eat jasmine rice in my house) with tarako furikake, pork stir fry, several tofu cubes in a tomato-garlicky sauce, cucumber matchsticks and blanched... uh, some sort of leafy veg, I'm not sure what it was, but it tasted good (and very sweet, strangely enough). For snack I had some satsumas and jammy cookies, and a ham and lettuce sandwich (no sandwich can be decent tasting without lettuce!); quite a lot, because I had to stay behind late for rehearsals.
Day 2 - Tuesday 13th
Rice with furikake, pork stewed with 'cha com' in oyster sauce, red pepper pieces, and a kohlrabi/celery stir fry. Some more tangerines to go with that. Mmmm is it possible to eat too many of those than good for your health?
Oh, and 'cha com' is this Vietnamese thing. Supposedly 'cha' translates as 'sausage', but the stuff I have seems to be more like a fried square burger of sorts, made of 'pounded' meat and 'com' (Translated as 'young rice' whatever that is. To me it's just green rice). It's really yummy and rather sticky to eat (because of the young rice) ^_^
I'll try to get some photos up, but I can't seem to upload my photos onto Flickr. Maybe I'll switch to my Photobucket account (but then I can't join the Flickr group pool :S)
"A common way to tell if it is well cooked is to throw the sausage onto a hard surface; if it bounces, the sausage is good."
I started yesterday as well. I broke my "no food that needs microwaving" rule on my very first try since I had leftover fish curry from the weekend and there was no way I was going to eat that cold. :( I also had brown rice, some chopped romaine lettuce with sliced cucumber and a kiwi.
Today I had a half a whole wheat pita, a vegetarian stuffed vine leaf, hummus, chopped romaine lettuce, some baked beans leftover from the weekend and orange wedges.
I really struggled to pull a decent lunch together this morning since my boyfriend was over last night so I didn't plan as well as I could have. OK. I didn't plan AT ALL. Oops! :) Tonight I am back on track and have marinated some tofu which is baking right now.
I'm hoping to meet the "post the pictures that you took" part of documenting my bentos, it's my biggest challenge. ^_^
I didn't actually take a picture of yesterday's bento, though, because it was pretty plain looking: Homemade seitan-(instead of beef)-and-broccoli (2/3), brown rice (1/3) in a single-tier bento.
Bento today:
Onigiril with chicken and bacon in it.
Turkey Hot dogs
ghiradelli chocolate (Peppermint bark)
california clementine
Need to be FAR healthier with this
"Some people are driven by the wind, some are driven by their madness, but I'm driven by the man who had nails driven in his hands..."
-- 2nd Chapter of Acts, "Source of Light"
Bento today:
Onigiril with chicken and bacon in it.
Oooh. That sounds nice...
Anyway, I agree with the "posting the pictures I took" being the greatest challenge. Though mine are hardly japanese bentos in any way at the moment. But, anyhoo:
Tuesday I had Quesadillas with brown beans and corn, left-overs from Monday's dinner. And some green salad.
Hardly bentoish, but packed in a bentoish box :)
Mmmm...I need to get more greens in mine. Once I discovered the joy of baby bok choy with garlic, sesame oil and a dash of soy, I lived off of it for days.
Day 1 - White rice, soy sauce egg, okonomiyaki, mini-burgers, nori strips, pickled lemon cukes, green beans, bell peppers and miso.
Day 2 - Brown Rice, homemade veggie chorizo, pickled cukes and onions, and some sport peppers.

I love old photos, whether they are portraits of my ancestors or historical photos for the period when they lived. And it is important to a complete research that one attempts to understand the environment that surrounds our ancestors' lives if one wants to truly appreciate what they went through.
So where can they be found? Obviously the best resource is our own photo albums and those that our relatives possess. But what about other resources? Many archives, historical societies, libraries and genealogical societies have collections of old photos. And in the past few years there has been a massive movement towards making these historical photo collections available online. Some have search capabilities where you can actually put in a surname or a location, name of a building or historical event and find what is available.
For the state of Oregon, what collections are available for you to browse and/or search online? Here is a list of sites to start with. Please feel free to add in the comments other online resources that you might be aware of in the state.
Please be aware that there may be very strict rules regarding downloading or other use of the images that you may find. Copyright and other legal protections may be in force. Make sure that you read the limitations of use for any image that you find in these collections and wish to download and/or copy. It is your responsibility to adhere to the rules for all of these collections.
Please note that links to these sites may change in the future. The author (me) will not be constantly checking and updating these links, so if you find a broken link, please use your favorite search engine to locate the new link.
Oregon Sites for Historical Photos
This is just a sampling of some of the larger collections. By no means is this an exhaustive list. Almost every city and county library in the state, college and university library, as well as historical society has a photo collection. Many are not available online, yet many do have online access.

Maples beat SEC White Division foe Ypsilanti Lincoln, 26-25
You couldn't have scripted the Adrian High School football team's final home game of the season any better.
But at the end, linemen slid in the mud to celebrate, coaches jumped higher than the players and the remaining fans cheered as loud as a sellout.
On a miserably cold and rainy homecoming night, the Maples prevailed 26-25 over Southeastern Conference White Division foe Ypsilanti Lincoln, a game highlighted by a Maple defense that came up big when needed.
"It might be the ugliest football game I have ever seen and been a part of," said Adrian coach Phil Jacobs. "It was a sloppy game all the way around, and I guess we out-uglied them."
Down by one with 7:30 remaining in the fourth quarter, Lincoln quarterback Javin Kilgo lined up in shotgun on third down prepared to take the snap. As the rain came down steadily, the snap was low and right at the ground. Kilgo kicked the ball and ran back to the end zone, hoping to walk away with only a safety, but the ball would slip out of his hands and directly into those of Austin Gray.
Gray emerged from a pile of blue and white holding the ball and the game-changer in his hands. Gray, who wears No. 66 in honor of his dad, could not have had the highlight of his year come at a better time.
"It makes me happy that I made him proud out here and my team," Gray said of the moment. "This'll be something I tell my kids about."
Despite the wild and uncertain ending to the game, Adrian (3-4, 3-1 SEC White) appeared to have control from the moment it received the ball.
On the 38-yard line and less than two minutes into the game, quarterback Hunter Hayes found Jurell Parrish in the middle of the field. Parrish broke away from two defenders and leaped into the end zone, but was hit and fumbled the ball.Fortunately, he was in the right spot to recover as well and ended the drive with six points.
Following a Lincoln (4-3, 1-3) turnover on downs, the Maples began to drive deep within their own territory, but a fumble gave the Railsplitters possession on the 3-yard line.
Dalauren Roberson took the ball five yards with six minutes left in a long quarter to tie the score at 6.
A short possession from Adrian gave Lincoln another opportunity, as it took advantage with a 64-yard run from Roberson, who ran up the middle and broke away on the outside.
With 8:16 remaining in the second quarter, with both teams struggling offensively, the Maples took over in their own territory again, but drove down within the red zone, threatening to tie.
It didn't last long, however, as Hayes was sacked on third and fourth downs for a total loss of 33 yards.
The Maples swung the game in their favor with five minutes remaining, as Jacobs dialed a fake punt. On fourth down from midfield, Jeff Lofton found Parrish uncovered for a 23 yard first down.
"We just didn't have any momentum going offensively," Jacobs said. "I thought it was a good spot in the field to do it."
Ten seconds later, Hayes connected Michael Hamden on a 21-yard pass to tie the game at 12 heading into halftime.
The Railsplitters came out strong in the second half, marching down the field efficiently until Kilgor threw his only touchdown pass of the night to a wide-open K.J. Osborn. The extra point made the score 19-12.
Adrian nearly halted its running game all together in the third quarter, struggling to do anything for positive yardage and turning the ball over twice in the red zone.
The Maples rallied in the beginning of the fourth quarter, though, and with 10:16 left in the fourth quarter, Hayes found Hamden again. This time, Hamden broke away from three defenders and high stepped into the end zone. A two-point conversion put the game at 26-19.
Following Gray's touchdown, the Railsplitters responded with two huge passes. It was the latter — a 39-yard pass to the 3-yard line — that upset the crowd. Osborn pulled down a ball on the opposing sideline, where he appeared to land out of bounds.
The call stood as a catch, though, and Lincoln ran into the end zone shortly after.
With 3:52 to go, the Railsplitters went for two out of the Wildcat formation, but were stuffed by a gang of Maple tacklers, leaving the score 26-25.
Adrian was unable to run out the clock the following possession, giving Lincoln one last chance with 2:39 left
Despite giving up 330 yards, the Adrian defense forced the Railsplitters to kick a field goal on fourth down. The snap was botched, and the Maples recovered to seal the win.
"Coming out last year in our last home game and losing hurt," Hamden said. "Winning means something special to all of Adrian."

Agree with you and Thom. Dilger is delusional (and well known for being so). I thought ai had at least some small amount of integrity but carrying an article from this nut job makes me question even that.

Whether you're a current resident of the city or are moving to the city for the short-term, you'll find that Seattle never ceases to amaze you with new restaurants, interesting sites, and exciting festivals.
As the largest city in the Pacific Northwest, Seattle is known for many things, including its floating bridges, underground cities, hidden stairways, plethora of roundabouts, and being the birthplace of grunge music. Seattle residents enjoy the best culture that city life offers, and all against the stunning backdrop of Mount Rainier, a 14,000 ft. volcano that's visible from almost anywhere in downtown Seattle! Forests, water, and mountains are never too far off either. Downtown Seattle sits on a hilly strip of land nestled between the Puget Sound and Lake Washington. Orcas, seals, and waterfowl can often be spotted on early morning ferry rides and from the pier near Pike Place Market.
Whatever your housing situation may be, you'll find a solution on ApartmentSearch.com. From corporate housing in downtown Seattle to furnished short term rentals near Queen Anne, we've got you covered! Renting an apartment in Seattle is easy, whether you're arriving with a truckload of stuff or need to find a cheap fully furnished apartment for rent.
Unfurnished apartments in Seattle rent for an average of $2,154, with 1-bedroom apartments renting for approximately $1,980 per month and 2-bedroom apartments renting for about $2,796 (as of August 2016). The priciest neighborhoods for renters in Seattle include Downtown, Loyal Heights, and South Lake Union. Cheap Seattle apartments can typically be found in Pinehurst, Brighton, and Victory Heights.

She spoke on the eve of a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives on a bill to cut food stamps by $40 billion. Reuters reports the vote is expected this week. Formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the food stamps program helps both the employed and the unemployed, Stabenow said in remarks broadcast Wednesday by C-SPAN. (Click to read: Two-Year Farm Bill Extension Is a Rumor, Lucas Says) "For those who have lost their job, SNAP is a short-line lifeline while they search for a job," Stabenow says. She called out Republican leaders in the House and said the 16 million people employed in U.S. agriculture "do not deserve this," referring to partisan political moves. "We in America are better than the debate that is being waged in the United States House of Representatives." No one would suggest cutting firefighting budgets to keep wildfires in check, Stabenow says, so it doesn't make sense to cut food stamps when the real solution for fighting hunger is to create good-paying jobs.

GINGRAS Family Tree and GINGRAS Genealogy Records
Register yourself as a GINGRAS researcher
Virtually all GINGRAS families in the United States are descended from Hilaire Gingreau and Francoise St. Lo of Saint Michel le Clou, France. Their two sons, Sebastian and Charles came to Canada in the 17th century, got married and started families.
Sebastian's family did not fare well and died out after a few generations.
Charles married Francoise Amiot on November 5, 1675 and started a large family. They had eight surviving sons and two daughters. Six of their sons had surviving sons who carried on the name, changed to Gingras.
There has been a good deal of research done on the Gingras family. Raymond Gingras of Quebec published a book in French titled "Charles Gingras et Francoise Amiot, Biographie des ancestres et descendance".
Andrew Gingras of New Hampshire devoted years to the collection of Gingras marriage information and created a typed (!) document containing all of the marriages he could find, thousands of them. I fear that Andew Gingras has retired at least from genealogy, if not from this world.
Member Scott_J, here has Andrew Gingras' works if anybody is interested in a lookup.

Billabong XXL Awards Results
2013 Billabong XXL Big Wave Awards
Between Shawn Dollar's record setting 61-footer and Shane Dorian's wave at Jaws the surfing did most of the the talking at this year's Billabong XXL Big Wave Awards.
Shawn Dollar
Shawn Dollar on his 61-foot record breaker at Cortes Bank on Dec. 21, 2012.
Shane Dorian
Dorian walked away with $50,000 for his wave at Jaws. It wasn't the biggest wave of the awards, but it was the most lucrative.
Shane Dorian
"Ride of the Year" and "Biggest Tube" awards went to Shane Dorian for this wave at Jaws.
Shane Dorian
If there was any question before Oct. 9, Shane Dorian is unequivocally the best big-wave surfer in the world today. After pulling into 25-foot tubes like this, he cemented his position as the frontrunner for the 2012 Billabong XXL Ride of the Year award.
Ian Walsh, Shane Dorian
One's sarcastic, the other's as serious as a poison dart to the jugular. Walsh and Dorian may be big-wave surfing's odd couple, but what's particularly odd is how far they've been able to push each other, which in turn has pushed the sport as a whole.
Keally Kennelly
Keala Kennelly, the hardest charging woman in the business.
Paige Aims
Along with Keala Kennelly, Paige Aims gave the women something to cheer for. Not only are they out in the lineup with the world's best men, they're catching bombs like this. Former ASP world champion Carissa Moore called them "inspiring."
Greg Long and Garrett McNamara
A pulled-back look at the wave that got Long. "I had taken off on the second wave of a four-wave set and was forced to straighten out," Long explained in a statement to the press.
Greg Long
"I was stabilized onboard the boat by the lifeguards and paramedics who were part of our safety team, and a Coast Guard helicopter was summoned to transport me back to San Diego," Long said.
Shawn Dollar

Nothing but love between the "Wave of the Year" finalists.

I like the idea. 40 Oz of hops in a 5 gallon batch will suck up a lot of that wort, which could be a downside for sure.
I think you will be getting some diminishing returns on the hops, but if you are hellbent on 40 oz it seems like you have set it up pretty well. I would take some hops out of the 60 minute though, and I would add a LOT more of the hops in the mash. That way you aren't getting quite as much gunk in the kettle.
This is a stupid waste of hops - please bring me a bottle at the NHC in Philly!

I am hoping to trade full time someday. I currently use Price Headley's trading system particularly combining %R and Acceleration bands. I have been following the market for about 5 years now and am determined to be a fulltime trader in the next few years. I have a MS in Biology and currently work in the Pharmaceutical industry as an Operations Manager for Clinical Trials (as fun as it sounds) and I am more than happy to take a job as a financial analyst covering the Pharma sector.

A Pro Tip for Picking the Perfect Paint Color
One of the big mistakes a lot of people make when choosing colors for a space is trying out too many colors at one time. In my opinion, if you put too many colors up on the wall at once, all you're really looking at is a mosaic or a quilt. The colors start to form new relationships with one another, and the eye doesn't know how to sort them out.
My method would be to brush out individual samples on small cardstock — 8x10 will do just fine. You can separate them, single them out, and move them around the home or apartment and match them to fabrics and tiles at different times of the day.
In this instance, we settled on Coventry Gray, Benjamin Moore HC-169. The kitchen is clean and modern, and we wanted something simple but not simply white, to unite the rest of the room.(Images: Mark Chamberlain)

National Parks have a somewhat well-deserved reputation as not very dog-friendly. After all, there is a list of restrictions at most parks about where your dog can't go. Usually it includes "all backcountry trails", hiking trails, and major tourist sites. There are, however, some National Parks where this is not the case. Acadia National Park, in Bar Harbor, Maine is certainly one of the them.

North America's Largest Pet Care Franchise Proves That Being "Bad to the Bone" Can Be Fun
North America's Largest Pet Care Franchise Proves That Being "Bad to the Bone" Can Be Fun
BROOMFIELD, CO--(Marketwire - Apr 13, 2012) - Camp Bow Wow®, North America's largest and fastest growing pet care franchise, an INC 5000 company with franchise opportunities available across the country, reaches a brand milestone this week with the release of its new interactive Facebook game, Bad to the Bone.
In this new game, players are charged with keeping Camp Bow Wow®'s furry dog mascot, Scout, happy and entertained with various playful activities such as rubbing his belly and playing Tug-o-War -- but once Scout's happiness begins to run low, he proceeds to misbehave and tear-up the virtual living room where the game takes place. The game is a fun take on a common challenge that many pet owners face when they must leave their pets unattended while they head off to work or take extended trips.
Camp Bow Wow® offers a great solution to this challenge with their Premier Doggy Day and Overnight Camp®. Pet owners that work away from home during the day can drop their dogs off to play at a local Camp in the morning and pick them up later that evening on their way home. While those that travel on business or plan on taking a much deserved vacation can leave their dogs overnight under the care and supervision of Camp Bow Wow®'s Certified Camp Counselors®. For owners who want to check in on their pets while they are away, live Camper Cams® are accessible from any computer in the world that has internet access -- and even on your iPhone!
In addition to their Camp facilities, Camp Bow Wow® also offers Home Buddies, an in-home pet care service for pet owners with newborn pups, elderly or infirmed dogs, cats, birds, fish, small mammals and reptiles, and other animals that aren't eligible to attend camp. The Home Buddies service sends a Certified Caregiver to pet owners' homes to provide top-notch care for their pets while they're away at work or traveling.
Have you ever come home only to find that your puppy has made a mess of the room in which you left him? Bad to the Bone is a fun demonstration as to why Home Buddies is such a great option for pet parents who are away during the day.
Apart from being an entertaining escape from real life, Bad to the Bone is also a clever way to reinforce the importance of keeping your pet(s) entertained while you are away, as the player is able to assign an activity that takes place over a set period of time. After Scout has been left unattended and he has misbehaved three times, the game is over and the player is presented with the option to post his/her high score on the leaderboards and play again.
But that's not all! Before the game commences, players are presented with the opportunity to enter Camp Bow Wow's® Bad to the Bone Sweepstakes for a chance to win a free iPad 2.
Also on the brand's Facebook page, users can enter Camp Bow Wow's® Bad to the Bone: Worst Behaved Dog Contest and nominate and vote for North America's naughtiest dog. The contest ends on May 18th, with one lucky grand prize winner to receive a free year of Camp Bow Wow® or Home Buddies services and free Behavior Buddies training to help rehabilitate their problem pooch.
"We are thrilled about the launch of Camp Bow Wow's new Facebook game," notes Heidi Ganahl, CEO and Founder of Camp Bow Wow. "It is extremely cool to finally see Scout come to life in this fun, interactive way and we believe that our customers and general Facebook users will feel the same."
For additional information about Camp Bow Wow, Home Buddies, Bow Wow Behavior Buddies and the Bow Wow Buddies Foundation, please visit: www.campbowwow.com, friend us on Facebook, or follow us on Twitter. Franchise opportunities are currently available; for more information, please visit: www.campbowwow.com/franchise.
About Camp Bow Wow:

I want you to imagine for a moment that someone has stolen your home computer, office computer, laptop (notebook, netbook), as well as all of your external hard drives and thumb drives. Close your eyes and imagine it. All of them are gone.
Now imagine the person who has stolen them -- a real sick nut (expletives deleted).
Now imagine this sick nut going through all of your personal and business files. He is looking at your precious family photographs, reading your letters and email, and looking for any confidential information he can use to steal your identity, wreck your credit, and take your assets.
This is a pretty horrible thought, but it happens all the time. Thieves love electronics, particularly laptops (notebooks, netbooks). And they even steal external hard drives, as well as thumb drives. You name it. If it is portable, they will steal it. They will even steal desktops. And I am pretty sure that they do not just reformat or blank the data. Remember that they are sick nuts (expletives deleted).
So what can you do?
This may sound like a commercial, but it is not. I am just sharing my concerns and what I have done.
For my computers, I use a program that password protects folders. When they are protected, they become invisible. You cannot see them on a directory list. No password, no access.
For my external hard drives and thumb drives, I do two things. For really confidential information (remember that I am also an attorney), I use external hard drives with built in hardware password and encryption protection. You could take these things apart and you still could not get to the data.
For less confidential information on external hard drives or thumb drives, I use software password protection. This is less secure, but also cheaper. Thumb drives in particular, are really easy to use and just as easy to lose.
In any event, I do try to protect sensitive information, even family photographs. I just keep the idea of a stupid nut (expletives deleted) looking at all my stuff, and it makes the the additional security seem pretty inexpensive.
In my experience, once a person has his computers stolen, he will then purchase security hardware/software for his new computers. You can save a lot of grief by doing so in advance.
I realize that there are additional ways to protect computers and the information on them. I am not suggesting that you do anything in particular. You may well find ways that are much better than what I am doing. But please be aware of the issue and do something to protect your confidential and personal information. Back them up too (and secure the back-ups).

Chris Clemons was fined $15,750 for roughing the passer, unnecessarily driving Carolina quarterback Cam Newton to the ground after he threw the ball down the field, according to the league. Clemons drew a personal foul penalty on the play.
Gotta say I'm not surprised...it was pretty blatant and unnecessary to drive him to the ground like he did on that particular play.

Update: Application is now "Under Review" at Georgetown as of 4/21/10. I decided to pass on the UChicago transfer app. Don't think that my numbers are quite good enough for it. Eagerly awaiting a Georgetown decision any day now.

A few days ago I was googling about asexuality and whether it was possible to "become" asexual, turns out it isn't in most circumstances but I remember earlier in the year I believe, at least to some extent, that I lost all attraction to girls for about a week and was wondering if there was a way to stay like that in the long term, I won't go into reasons as to why I wanted to become asexual as it's even messier and it steers away from the actual purpose of me writing this post but I was kinda desperate at the time involving my perception of life mixed with a little depression.
So my curiosity lead me to find out that there is a very broad meaning of asexuality, and in the basic meaning of the word, it simply means "no sexual attraction to anyone". Now I'm old enough to know that I'm not simply asexual, there are different terms which branch off and it's all dependent of which situations you do/don't feel attraction, so I think I am a greysexual because of that. But that's only a small part of my post as the bigger issue I have is the aromance part.
To be an aromantic is to not have a romantic attraction to anyone. Now again, I am not totally sure if I am or aren't an aromantic. I believe this because I have thought back at all the girls I have been attracted to in the past and comparing how I felt about them with how I feel about friends in general, and to be honest, I couldn't come up with many differences in feelings. I was trying to think of what makes them different to each other and I couldn't really find out what they were :unsure: this made me feel, only slightly worried but mostly confused and looked further for answers. I came across the term "quoiromantic" which means " people who cannot differentiate between platonic and romantic attraction, cannot define romantic attraction and therefore are not sure if they experience it, experience attraction somewhere between romantic and platonic, or want to be in a queerplatonic relationship." I could also be a queerplatonic, I mean, I haven't felt (what I thought was) romantic or sexual feelings towards guys etc. (does this mean anything concerning labelling myself, idk). But then I could also be alterous. Someone who defines themselves as alterous made this post which I also feel I relate to:
Well, it doesn't really matter which word to label myself as, I don't see myself saying to everyone I meet "oh I'm a heterogreysexual quoiromantic" etc. (I'll just say I'm straight unless something develops, which I'll explain in a bit) But terms do help in terms of me finding out how to approach life and maybe finding people like me to help answer questions etc.alterous attraction is a sort of gray area between platonic and romantic attraction. It's defined as "described as wanting emotional closeness without necessarily being (at all or entirely) platonic &/or romantic". You can have a romantic or platonic orientation and be alterous. For example, I'm grey-romantic but pan-alterous.
For me, being alterous means that when I meet someone new, I don't necessarily have the "oh you're cool, let's be friends" reaction. It's more of a "oh wow, I feel this super cool emotional connection with you, can I get to know you more and make that stronger?". All of my friendships are really emotions-based and deeper in a lot of ways than typical friendships. I guess it's sort of like the emotional closeness of a romantic relationship, but with the physical aspects of a platonic one.
The idea of dating kinda terrifies me a bit, ngl, I just don't think it's "me", perhaps this could be a sign that I am one of those terms I mentioned above :thinking: I don't want my anxiety or empathy to cloud my judgement over where I fit. Perhaps I just don't have enough experience and I'm just a standard hetero, but there's no doubt I fit the definitions of quiro, alterous and queerplatonic. It could also be that I haven't found "the one" yet, but I'm not sure if that's what I'm looking for. Yeah I do like to be in my own company but there's a part of me that wouldn't mind a partner of sorts. There are couples who aren't actually "together" but do live together non-sexually/non-romantically, I guess it's like really close friends living together without the whole marriage/kids thing, perhaps that's the kind of thing that suits me, but this sort of relationship is so rare and I'm not too hopeful I'll ever meet someone like that (finding someone who relates to me is rare enough ) I just don't want to keep meeting people and thinking I'm in love when I'm not, I'm so confused lmao, ignoring these feelings is perhaps the best thing to do for both parties, but the frustration is still there.

Ambitious plans have been unveiled for a 3.3-million-square-foot development that would bring a college, hotel, offices and apartments to the fashion district of downtown Los Angeles.
The owners of about three blocks' worth of faded commercial properties hope to build a project valued at $500 million to $1 billion called the City Market of Los Angeles. It would rise in an area that once housed wholesale produce businesses and is now home mostly to garment industry shops and warehouses.
City Market is in the early stages of seeking approval for the project from city officials, a process that could take more than a year. The boundaries of the proposed 10-acre development are roughly San Julian and San Pedro streets between 9th and 12th streets.
As planned by the six property owners led by Peter Fleming, City Market would hold a campus for one or more private colleges, 945 units of new housing, 210 hotel rooms and more than 500,000 square feet of creative offices, stores, restaurants and entertainment uses.

Garaway Local School District voters overwhelmingly rejected a combination bond issue and 1 percent income tax on Tuesday's general election ballot.
Garaway Local School District voters overwhelmingly rejected a combination bond issue and 1 percent income tax on Tuesday's general election ballot.
In unofficial results, 1,697 (74.3 percent) votes were cast against the funding request, while 587 people (25.7 percent) voted for it.
The 7.9-mill bond issue was for construction of two schools, and the 1 percent income tax was for
operating expenses. The measures appeared on the ballot as a combination levy.
Garaway board of education members had approved an option to buy a site for construction of two school buildings, contingent upon district voters' passing the combination measure. The more than
19-acre site is between state Route 39 and Old Route 39, and between Dutch Valley Restaurant and Weaver's Fine Furniture, on the eastern edge of the village.
The bond issue would have generated $32.25 million from property taxes for constructing the schools and would be paid off over 37 years.
The income tax — collected on a continuing basis — would have generated about $1.4 million annually for operating expenses.
Garaway Superintendent Teresa Alberts said, "I think it's a combination of asking for money and closing buildings and upsetting people. Unfortunately, that's a perfect storm.
"We'll regroup and go from here. We'll keep our chin up. We educate the kids every day and do the best we can, so that's what we'll continue to do."
Decisions will be made with a new board of education.
Robert Coburn, Robert Eckert and Daniel Fearon all were elected to their first term on the board. Incumbent Celeste J. Honigford was defeated.
Alberts said, "We'll have to wait until January when they come on the board and see what motions are made and go from there. Hopefully, they will look at the district's finances and see where we are. Right now our budget's red line for going into a deficit is 2016-2017. Closing buildings was a cost-saving factor, if they were to be reopened, it would bring about going into the red sooner. We'll have to see what happens in January."
In the election preview story in The Times-Reporter, Coburn and Fearon said they are opposed to the current board's decision to close elementary schools in Dundee and Ragersville.

UNODC Talk Series - Indonesia's Fight Against Corruption
Jakarta, 2 April 2009 - In an effort to encourage dialogue on the status of Indonesian UNODC Indonesia are arranged a series of focussed discussions on different corruption themes. The "Talks" are held every month and encompass expert speakers from diverse anti-corruption backgrounds. This is aimed at analyzing the current status of the laws, institutions, and public participation in the fight against corruption. A total of ten talks have been planned for 2009 which will be delivered by eminent individuals involved in the forefront of the fight against corruption in Indonesia. Each of the talks will cover different areas related to the fight against corruption. Government departments, academia, non-governmental organizations, media, practitioners are invited to participate in the talk. A publication compiling the talks will be released at the end of the series. Two Talk Series have been held so far.
United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime conducted its first Talk Series on The Fight against Corruption in Indonesia. The seminar involved 60 participants from Government departments, academia, non-governmental organizations, media, and practitioners. The seminar was opened by remarks from Mr. Ajit Joy (Expert, Crime Prevention for UNODC).
Due to the imminent elections in Indonesia, the seminar focused on the linkages between politics and corruption. The aims of Political Budget Management are to boost independence, transparency, accountability, to support an open political system with public participation and equal opportunity, and liberation of the candidate from rent seeking (vote buying, etc).
At the end of the presentation, recommendations were given such as:
1. All of campaign sources should be noted and registered, including external and internal funding.
2. KPU together with IAI (Indonesia Accountant Association) should prepare registration standards for campaign finance.
3. The standards should include a simple registration form for all candidates.
4. KPU should socialize these standards to all parties and candidates.
5. Campaign finance audit results should be followed up with audits on specific areas.
6. Regarding corruption and elections, any corruption cases or any indications of corruption during the election period should be jointly processed by KPK
