WASHINGTON- Earlier today (March 5 Congressional offices were notified that effective March 9, 2013, all White House tours would be cancelled until further notice.
ōInstead of taking this opportunity to cut wasteful spending, the President is choosing to make his sequester as painful as possible for the American people. It is extremely disappointing to see that over one million annual visitors ¢ including families and school groups ¢ will be turned away as a result of this political stunt. Perhaps the President should scale back the million-dollar golf outings or any one of his multiple vacations to Hawaii before he closes the White House doors,ö said Rep. Marino.
On March 4, 2013, House Administration Committee Chair Candice Miller (R-MI) gave each Member of Congress notice that their budgets would be cut 8.2 percent as a result of the PresidentÆs sequester.
ōYesterday we were told that our offices would be cut by over 8 percent, but because I have always operated both my Washington office and my Constituent Service Centers back in the district in a frugal manner, my staff and I will be able to absorb and implement this cut while maintaining the highest level of constituent service to the people of the 10th District,ö Marino added.
Over the past two years, the Republican-led House has cut Congressional budgets by 11 percent not including the sequester. At the beginning of the 112th Congress, Member budgets were cut by 5 percent, and then again in 2012 by an additional 6.4 percent.
In their cancellation notice, the White House Visitors Office asked that inquiries regarding this situation use the Visitors Office 24-hour hotline, at (202) 456-7041.

Playground by 50 Cent is all about Butterball, a husky bully who thinks that name is much cooler than what is printed on his birth certificate. His teachers even call him Butterball. Hes the new kid at school and to keep kids from messing with him, he gets to them first. Hes a smart kid; he just does dumb stuff. Butterball's antics have gotten him into some serious trouble: suspension and required regular visits with a therapist. At home, things are just as disastrous.
His parents are not together. His father is not nearly as concerned with his son as he should be, and Butterball has completely lost the trust of his mother. Somehow, Butterball manages to weasel the trust of his mother once more, and she allows him to attend a party. Of course, he messes up. Thats what Butterball does. He wouldnt be Butterball if he didnt. A plan did not work out, the joke is on him, and the tables have turned: he is now the victim of bullying, and theres nothing he can do about it.

Right now, the master of surrealism for teens is Nova Ren Suma. For those unfamiliar with surrealism, it can be an acquired taste. Its not quite realistic fiction and its not quite fantasy or paranormal. Her books leave you with more questions than answers, and you may feel the story was dreamed rather than read. Suma says she was inspired by magical realism, which is a genre that introduces magical elements into an otherwise normal world. This isnt the magic of Harry Potter, but magic that exists at the edges of things. These books arent fully paranormal, but as a reader you cant shake the feeling that something is amiss. If youre the kind of reader that likes a solid ending that answers all of your questions, these may not be right for you. If you like open endings and enjoy the psychological heebie-jeebies, then you are in for a treat.
Nova Ren Sumas YA debut, Imaginary Girls, was released in the summer of 2011. At its surface, this book is about the relationship between two sisters, our narrator Chloe and her enigmatic sister Ruby. There are parties by a reservoir, cute boys, and interesting new friends; but readers will quickly discover that things are not what they appear. The first oddity is the reappearance of a girl who drowned two years prior, but Chloe is the only one who seems to remember. There are also the stories Ruby tells about the former residents of Olive, a town flooded when the reservoir was built. Are the former residents still living beneath the water? This book isnt a traditional paranormal thriller, but it is certainly unsettling. There is a dreamy quality to Sumas writing and this novel is unlike anything I have encountered in YA.
Favorite Quote:
Rubys stories didnt have morals. They meant one thing in the light and one thing in the dark and another thing entirely when she was wearing sunglasses.
Sumas most recent novel is 17 & Gone . The narrator, Lauren, is haunted by girls who disappeared the year they turned 17. Police never fully investigated the disappearances because it was believed the girls ran away willingly, but Lauren knows better. The missing girls keep appearing in her car, in her room, on the side of the road; and they want her to find out what really happened to them. The book is a mix of mystery, ghost story, and psychological thriller. There is a bit more action than in Imaginary Girls, but the same unsettling atmosphere remains. Determining what is real and what is just in Laurens head may be the focus, but the real horror of the novel is why no one cared to investigate after the girls went missing.
Favorite Quotes:
I was 17. I was a girl. Didn't we matter?
How heartless it was for a girl to be forgotten and buried before there was even anything of her to put in the ground."

Do you like dystopia? Do you like vampires? Then I have the book for you: When the Sea Is Rising Red by Cat Hellisen. Yep you guessed it: its vampire dystopia! In the society that is the backdrop for this story, marriages are arranged, class/caste is everything, and vampires are part of society. Felicita is a 17-year-old girl who is a member of the highest class, and her best friend, Ilven, has just committed suicide rather than marry the man her parents chose for her. When Felicitas family announces that her own marriage has been arranged to a man she has absolutely no wish to marry, Felicita decides to fake her own death and run away. She hides in the citys slums and becomes a dishwasher in a tea house. She also meets two very different guys: Dash, a charming bad-boy type, and Jannik, a vampire. And then, to top it all off, Ilvens suicide has called up some sort of sea creature bent on destruction, and Felicita has to save her new friends, her family, and the entire town from the creatures wrath.
Now for more vampires! This next book is a loose retelling of the Snow White fairy tale with vampires (and a little bit of The Godfather thrown in for good measure). Nameless by Lili St. Crow is about a girl named Camille. When she was a small child, Camille was discovered shivering in the snow by Enrico Vultusino, the head of one of the seven powerful vampire clans. Camille doesnt remember who she used to be or where all of her scars came from. And then she meets Tor, who has scars similar to her own, and wonders if he could be a link to her mysterious past.

Dr. Brown's focus has always been to create innovative feeding products to promote good health and optimal nutrition for baby. Dr. Brown's Natural Flow® baby bottle was the first baby bottle to feature an internal vent system that eliminated the vacuum, air bubbles and negative pressure associated with conventional bottle feeding.
My husband and I were the last ones to have kids out of all of our siblings, we each have 3. Both my brother and the oldest of my younger sisters swore by Dr. Brown's bottles. They said they were the best. Since we wanted the best for our daughter, we stocked our cupboard with about 90% Dr. Brown's bottles. They worked great, we did not have any problems with air bubbles and she very rarely spit up (maybe 5 times ever).
We were big Dr. Brown's fans in our house, we had almost everything. I say had because we are transitioning Wiggle away from bottles and into their training cup, so I passed all of my Dr. Brown's treasures to my two sisters (one had a baby in December and the other is due in 4 weeks).
I definitely recommend getting the Dr. Brown's bottle brush, it was a perfect fit for the bottles and worked great. We also had the bottle sterilizer, it was an easy way to make sure the bottles were clean. The steam heat effectively kills all household bacteria. You just put them in the sterilizer, add a little water and pop it in the microwave.

ROCKFORD — Rockford schools continue to struggle when it comes to meeting state standards, but new test scores are revealing a couple of silver linings.
More Rockford public school students are reading at or above state benchmarks than two years ago, and all four high schools scored higher in reading with three scoring higher in math than two years ago.
The Rockford School District released state test scores Monday from the 2013 Illinois Standards Achievement Test, given to third- through eighth-graders in the spring, and the Prairie State Achievement Exam, given to high school juniors.
The state will release scores for all Illinois public schools next week. It applied higher performance expectations to elementary and middle school students this year, which caused ISAT scores to plummet statewide.
Comparing this year's scores to previous years will prove difficult unless school districts do as Rockford did, which was go back and apply higher performance expectations to past scores.
The Rockford School District did a three-year analysis.
Of Rockford's 42 schools, 39 excluding charter schools:
Twenty-three had more students meeting or exceeding state standards in reading than two years ago.
Nearly all four high schools saw scores in math and reading go up. Jefferson's math score dropped.
Nine — Barbour, Carlson, Nelson, King, Marsh, McIntosh, Spring Creek, Whitehead and Nashold elementary schools — saw year-over-year gains in reading.
Seven schools have 50 percent or more students meeting or exceeding state standards in math
Nine schools have 50 percent or more students meeting or exceeding state standards in math.
District leaders are categorizing the results of the analysis as "pockets of success," reflective of recent years' efforts to increase enrichment and intervention.
"It tells me we're on the right track with reading, and our high schools are doing great," said Dan Woestman, assistant superintendent of accountability.
The new way of calculating scores in the lower grades should help districts identify students who aren't on track to succeed in work or college at an earlier age. In previous years, Woestman said, high schools did a good job of that — because of the PSAE's alignment with the ACT — but elementary and middle schools did not.
"The new scores should allow us to do more focused early intervention," Woestman said. "This will allow us to allocate resources better and assign extra staff members for targeted intervention better at younger ages.
A number of factors have played into the success at East High School, said Principal Patrick Enright. Those include great teachers, great students and increased efforts in reading and math instruction.
English teachers are applying new classroom strategies to help students build vocabulary and comprehension development. Math instructors are urging students to take more challenging classes at younger ages.
The result is a sense of pride and achievement that fuels further success.
"It makes the students proud, and the teachers and the parents," Enright said. "There's pride in their efforts and reason to work hard."

After receiving an A.B. in psychology with a concentration in psychopathology from Harvard College in 2001, Luke Stoeckel came to UAB in 2003 to begin his graduate studies. He expects to receive his Ph.D. in Medical Psychology from UAB in 2009.
Luke said he chose UAB for his graduate studies because he was strongly impressed by the collaborative spirit of the UAB community, the wide range of clinical and research opportunities available at UAB, and the support and encouragement he received from various individuals in the UAB Medical Psychology program to pursue a variety of interests.
Since coming to UAB, Luke's research has primarily been involved in human neuroimaging (functional magnetic resonance imaging or fMRI) research investigating reward system functioning in obesity, addiction, and schizophrenia. When asked what his motivation for his research is, he replied, "It is hard not to be enamored by today's neuroimaging technologies. Neuroimaging gives us the chance to explore the ultimate frontier, the living human brain. Ultimately, a better understanding of the brain and brain-behavior relationships will help improve the treatment of many brain disorders and diseases."
Luke credits Dr. Rosalyn Weller as his greatest influence here at UAB. "I have been fortunate to have many exceptional advisors at UAB and have also benefited vicariously from the many stories shared by my peers of their tremendous supervisory experiences. However, Dr. Weller is peerless as an advisor due to the countless hours, boundless energy, and unceasing devotion she volunteers in order to train graduate students to be successful future research scientists. I am deeply grateful to her for pushing me to excel in science these past 5 years."
Luke has connected with the UAB research community. He explains, "Finding a burgeoning and spirited human neuroimaging research community at UAB that welcomed me as a member and witnessing the developments and accomplishments of this talented community are two of the most rewarding experiences I have had at UAB."
While at UAB, Luke has received several awards including the following: UAB Dean's Outstanding Graduate Student, School of Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2008; UAB Department of Psychology Outstanding Graduate Student, 2008; NIH Intramural Research Training Award (IRTA), Summer Fellowship, NIDCD Section on Brain Imaging and Modeling Laboratory, 2007; Merit Fellowship, UAB Medical/Clinical Psychology program, 2006-2007; 1st Place, Alabama Psychological Association Convention Student Poster Session, 2006; 1st Place, and Social and Behavioral Sciences Division, University of Alabama at Birmingham Graduate Student Research Day, 2004, 2006.
Luke has big plans for the future. He has accepted a position as a Clinical Fellow in Psychology for the Neuropsychology track at Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts for 2008-2009. He adds, "After that, I either plan to apply for a postdoctoral position to continue my research in human neuroimaging or I will abandon all my worldly possessions to find truth in the ocean waves as a vagabond surfer."
Luke's Advice to Other Graduate Students:
I would advise other graduate students to ask a ton of questions, be skeptical, search for the truth, and risk failure.

Remember, these are just CONCEPT sketches. That means you need to look at if you like the concept or not. Things like placment, fonts, and information will probably be changed as everything is refined. But we need YOU to help us zero in on winning ad!
So - look over each mockup below, read the information, and place your vote!
WarpFeed - ENGAGE!
This ad is similar to what AGD is used to running in the past. A simple product shot and headlines. The look should be "tuned" up with a more modern look and "techno" motif - most of which isnt really evident in the mockup. It also has alot of information and feature shots to inform the consumer.
Get a good look before the game...
Something with a bit more attitude than what AGD is used to. A close up shot of a warpfeed on an emag with the tag line touting how the warpfeed will be hard to see on the field. It also has alot of information and feature shots to inform the consumer.
Missing: Hopper Hits
A bit more tounge in cheek, this ad is a bit more humorous and at the same time makes it clear the advantage of the warp feed. It uses the familar "missing milk carton". It also has alot of information and feature shots to inform the consumer.
So - now make your choice and vote!

Ladies who lunch
"Karen Koslowitz, Toby Stavisky and Grace Meng were walking by the Forest Hills Jewish Center which is having trouble delivering supplies, clothes and food they collected for Hurricane Sandy victims. When they were asked to see if they could help they said they would talk to the director of the Center.
Did they? NO!
They decided that going to lunch was more important than helping their community members who came together to help people suffering. They are useless, heartless politicians who care more about collecting a pay check than helping the people in their community and those who have lost everything. They are nothing but wasted votes and how they are representing our community is mind boggling.
Just thought Queens should know that going to lunch is more important to them than helping people in need." - anonymous

Thank you Queens Crapper.
Halloran gets my vote over Meng. I just changed my mind even though I'm a registered democrat!

Their minds appear to be more on team Democrat and tomorrow's election not the people in Breezy Point who might be freezing tonight.

They all need to dumped like yesterdays garbage. These politicians have no compassion. All they care about is their job security and how they are going to spend our tax monies. Vote all incumbents out. You get the government you deserve -- WE DESERVE BETTER.
- Monday, November 05, 2012
We deserve much better but we won't get it because we keep on re-electing hand me downs.
Our elected officials are only a reflection of who we are as a voting public.....STUPID!

Oh, this explains it. They were busy collecting shoes inappropriate for cleanups. Because if you have to be homeless and starving, you should at least look fashionable.

Vote for Dan Halloran and not Grace Meng!
They are both truly awful.
Basically, your choice is between a fucked-up possibly brain-damaged ethically-challenged potty-mouthed lawyer who gave his mistress a paid position in his Council office and takes money from Gambino crime family members while fucking over the community he represents; or, you have the daughter of an indicted Chinese gangster who has no interest in representing the vast majority of her constituents currently (az shown in the picture with Moby and the rest of those clowns) and which won't change if she's in Congress.
Here's the thing: vote for the crooked lawyer and the Republican House majority will make him a Tea Party hero, further inflating his overactive God complex; or, vote for the gangster's daughter and have her be ineffective and watched like a hawk.
I'll take the gangster's daughter who is indifferent to me, because having Hollerin' Halloran take an interest in things that matter ALWAYS ENDS UP EXACTLY OPPOSITE THE WAY YOU WANT IT TO!!!

Can anyone verify the anonymous report? Could this be someone from Team Halloran?

i have my reasons for never voting democrat since 1970 ,but negative comments on Q.C. from the Halloran Hater's Anon. gang inspire me to vote FOR Halloran.

That's right. We're all part of the DEM/Soc/Com conspiracy already and we're just using our mind-control powers and endless money to destroy the Republican Party.
Luckily most of the other QC readers are not you, Gramps...they know what the truth is, whether Democrat, Republican or other: elected officials have no particular political bias when it comes to corruption and contempt of the people they are supposed to represent.
And frankly, Gramps, Halloran is just a symptom of a political party that is shrinking so fast in New York City, what passes for talent these days is barely the dregs at the bottom of the barrel.

Most people prefer to keep their voting choices private, but In this particular election I have chosen not to.
As a result, I can expect to make at least one political enemy and garner a few critical comments. Well, here it goes anyway. I've made my decision. It was difficult. I'm off to my polling place.
I have no faith in either candidate to represent our best interests in Congress.
Am I throwing away my vote? Maybe.
But that's my privilege and I must vote or not vote my conscience.
I hope that both candidates get word of this,
which I'm sure they will.
Will the winner hold this public admonishment against me? If he or she is a real public servant, they shouldn't.
Good luck to both contenders.
Citizens, please GO OUT AND VOTE!

Hey Jerry,
either Dan or Grace will do a better job than Congressman Gary Ackerman.

Typical Queens.
A conversation about a broad, serious issue and a political culture that is broken and dysfunctional becomes a petty spat between partisans of two pygmies.
Has there been any Joe Crowley sightings (will someone call his office and find out where in the @#&#@# he is?)
Has there been any clarification of Mr. Public Safety's committee's purpose (will someone call his office and find out @#$#&#$ it does?)
Hell no, you just want to bicker over two people that are both unqualified for public office because that is the shit sandwich the system serves you up and none of you have the brains to take a step back with the purpose of trying to make a real change.
- Tuesday, November 06, 2012
It's 10:00 AM and I've just finished both my political and food shopping.
So, there you have it and now it's done!
I've kept my word (unlike most politicians)
and DID NOT vote for either Halloran or Meng
as I promised!
The rest of my ballot choices are none of anyone's business.
- Tuesday, November 06, 2012
I thought that I just did (at least) one small thing "to make a real change" in our stagnant system.
I just told candidates Halloran and Meng (via the voting booth) that I REFUSED to give either of them the job that they're seeking.
I've also got the Moxie to reveal my name online--thus exposing myself to their displeasure.
We must remember that it's WE THE PEOPLE that hire our government employees--including the president of our country.
Furthermore, I urge all you "little people", like myself, to WISE UP, SPEAK OUT and VOTE OFTEN!
Drop by drop water fills the bucket and votes fill the job position!

That does it. I was on the fence about voting for Halloran; I am hesitating since his party would like to send women back to the 12th century. I will be a wench most likely voting for him, now that Meng disgusts me even more than she did before this photo op. Notice that Claire Shulman is on the left, almost out of the picture. Why aren't they in the Rockaways with workboots and jeans on helping cold, starving residents without electricity for a week instead of posing near a stack of donations that need to find their way to those in need? What kind of "leaders" are these women anyway?
- Tuesday, November 06, 2012
oy, bring back Anthony Weiner.......he's not looking so bad. At least he wears a tasteful black suit and tie and his hair doesn't look like he uses a "Loreal Preference" color from the sale rack at Lot Less, which clashes with Toby's suit. And he has a cute baby to tote around.

text: PORTLAND, Ore. (TheStreet) -- American consumers get pretty riled up about the price and value of their products, but few things unnerve this country's proud shoppers more than American products that aren't made here.How do we know? Because we wrote about "American" products made elsewhere almost a full year ago and readers still keep writing in about it. They're plenty angry with brands such as Converse Chuck Taylors, Levi's Jeans, American Girl dolls and even Craftsman tools that aren't strictly "Made In The U.S.A." anymore. Still, the commenters are generally positive and just want to know what is American made. We wrote about that, too, last summer, but emails and comments kept trickling in with more inquiries and suggestions. This only confirms a 2010 survey by Adweek Media and Harris, which found that 61% of Americans say they are more likely to buy a product when an ad says it's "Made in America." That includes 75% of Americans 55 and over, 66% of those 45 to 54 and 61% of those 35 to 44. It also supports a 2011 study conducted by global management consulting firm Booz & Co. with the University of Michigan's Tauber Institute for Global Operations that found that U.S manufacturers make about 75% of the goods consumed in this country, but could make as much as 95% with help from business and government leaders. We scrolled through the inbox and pulled out 10 more examples of 10 American-made products looking to lead the way:

Future Husker Maschka Wins State Title
Lincoln, Neb. – Nebraska men's golf signee Ben Maschka captured individual medalist honors at the Nebraska Class A State Boys Golf Tournament following the final round at Holmes Park Golf Course on Thursday, May 29.
Maschka fired a pair of 68s at the two-day, 36-hole tournament to lead Omaha Creighton Prep to its third consecutive team title. In Wednesday's opening round, he made four birdies, three of which were on the back nine, during his bogey-free round at Holmes Golf Course. Maschka's first birdie came on the par-5 eighth hole before he added red numbers on Nos. 13, 16 and 17.
On Thursday, the Creighton Prep senior went out in 3-under-par 33 before a back-nine 35 to hold off runner-up Clayton Peterson of Lincoln Southeast by one stroke. Maschka birdied the fourth hole before stringing together three consecutive birdies on Nos. 8 through 10. He suffered his first bogey of the tournament on the 11th hole and added an additional one on No. 14.
For the second consecutive day, he birdied Nos. 16 and 17 before parring the 18th hole to collect the state crown. His 8-under-par 136 total over two rounds ties for the fifth-best 36-hole score in boys golf state tournament history.
As a team, the Junior Jays set a state record with a 14-under-par 562 total for the event. After a first-round 279, Creighton Prep shot 283 in Thursday's final round. Complete scoring for the state tournament is available on the NSAA's website.
Maschka also played a crucial role on last year's championship team, tying for first individually in regulation before falling to teammate Carson Schaake in a playoff for medalist honors.
Maschka signed his national letter of intent during the fall 2013 signing period to join the Huskers for the 2014-15 season. He joins Niko Vui, who signed during the spring, as newcomers to Nebraska's roster next season.

I'd like one mixing the style of the box art & the Mark Taylor prototype! About the same size as the original just scaled up a bit for MOTUC.
Teela the Warrior Goddess is my homegirl.
Has Emiliano ever drawn the classic CG playset? I'm curious what a more modern take on the original castle would look like.

Do you think that we will see a Castle Grayskull playset or at least an early desing of one before the end of the year? Im thinking that they might be hinting at 1 because of the little one on top of Scare Glows accessory.
Any thoughts?

As much as I want one, the cost of such an item would probably be the issue for me. I could easily see paying around $200 or more, and shipping would probably be pretty expensive as well. I really want one, I really , really do, but I probably could not afford it.
Castle Grayskull is totally going to rock. I'm sure the 4H will build an awesome structure for us.
I have read the suggestion of having it modular so it can be released in different sections. I personally like this because instead of getting an acceptable Castle Grayskull we would get an EPIC Castle Grayskull
Castle Grayskull would be GREAT! But it's that damn price thing again. I would love to have one,but could I fork over $100 or more dollars for one...Hell Yeah,but my wife wouldn't let me. Specially in this economy where it is diificult to save because of furloes and cutbacks.
Oh yeah, a CASTLE GRAYSKULL sculpted by the FOUR HORSEMEN would be a DREAM COME TRUE!! Especially if also done for the "Adult Collector!"
Can you imagine!!
I mean just look at how awesome their version of Castle Grayskull done on a very small scale is!
I don't think it will be anytime soon, but if the line continues it's success, I'd be surprised if we didn't eventually get one!
No comment.
Perhaps with some of the bigger beast figures such as Battlecat we could get a piece of the castle. I would be willing to bet that at some point (maybe in the next year) we get a facade of castle grayskull.
I only hope that we also get vehicles too. I need to have a new Wind Raider and a Filmation Attack Trak would be sweet!
I could careless about ANOTHER Greyskull.
Snake Mountain...... BRING..... IT....... ON.
"We are the tools of our own imagination, constructing temples and cathedrals in which our most outlandish dreams become truth." - Samael
It would certainly be great, altough I would certainly not get it for sure, it will be a pricey item, so I would have to pay a lot of money for it, and if by that time when they (possibly) release Castle Grayskull they don´t have an Europe warehouse to ship it from there i would have to also pay customs and I believe I would get stinged really hard. So a Castle grayskull would be really off limits for me.
but it would be really awesome to see it done by the 4 Horsemen.
i want this castle grayskull
must be a filmation style pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
if someday its released

I think I heard somewhere that if they do a Grayskull, it will be more of a display accessory more than an out-and-out playset. Though I may have interpreted it wrong.
Either way, I think it will be great.
I'd like to see it based (as with many MOTUC designs) on the original prototype.
As long as they don't go down the line of the 200x Grayskull - now that was a disappointment. The vingtage version was far superior and had so much more character.
I agree it will be expensive though - I'll start saving now!

I think it's inevitable that we'll see a new Castle Grayskull.
I mean, it's the very focus of MOTU! Without it, there's no struggle.
Skeletor wants it, He-man protects it!

I tried to respond to this later on the board but the thread about Jeff being let go from Airgun Designs was closed.
I just want everyone here, including Tom, to know what a valuable person Jeff was at Airgun Designs. He invented new products (superbolt), cut down Airgun's bulky guns (like those Jax guns), and troubleshot more guns on his weekends off than most gun techs do during the entire week. Jeff was the reason I played with an RT for years after it was out of style do use an airgun product in the NPPL. Jeff is the reason dozens of people play with them.
I honestly thought Airgun paid Jeff to take those weekends off to play tournaments. I'm amazed at how much time and effort Jeff put into Airgun during those weekends. He teched guns for free and Chicago players and teams have been famous for using mags because of it. Have you been to a tournament out of state? No one uses mags anymore. CPSA players to NPPL players from Chicago do because of Jeff. You should have encouraged him to travel instead of trying to tie him to a workbench to do repair guns.
If Airgun has listened to Jeff more during the week they would know what is important to players. Lighter guns! Double triggers years ago! No huge front battery packs! Then maybe you wouldn't have to lay anyone off because sales would have been up instead of down.
Tom - I really hope you have called around and gotten Jeff a job locally in paintball. He was the best employee you ever had. You just didn't bother to notice.

The local climbing community is starting to mobilize around the issue of access to climbing locations in Boulder open space.
Five City Council seats up in the November election, plus the continued closure of Boulder's open space off-trail areas following the September floods, are generating concern. Many popular climbing routes can only be reached by hiking off the designated trails.
The Boulder Rock Club recently sent an email inviting climbers to a session that its hosting this week with two City Council candidates "who understand the concerns of climbers."
The email noted that the "future of your access to climbing on City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks is at stake."
Mike Alkaitis, general manager for the Colorado Mountain School and Boulder Rock Club, said he's concerned that the continued closure of off-trail areas is setting a precedent. He described the potential for a permanent ban as "scary."
"We would love to have recreational advocates on City Council," he said. "The reason that we live around Boulder and work around Boulder is we cherish that access."
But Boulder Mayor Matt Appelbaum, who's one of two incumbents running for re-election, called the possibility that climbers would lose access to their favorite spots an "unfounded rumor" and said no one on council has advocated making the closures permanent.
'There's no imminent change," he said. "There's no basis for that whatsoever. The council has been quite clear that climbing access will be provided."
The issue of off-trail access is included in the work plan of Boulder's Open Space and Mountain Parks department. The City Council in 2011 asked the department to evaluate the issue as part of an overall look at the department's resources and service delivery.
The next step, which hasn't been taken yet, is for the department to make a recommendation on off-trail access to the Open Space Board of Trustees, which in turn would make a recommendation to the City Council.
Appelbaum said that, as the number of people using open space continues to increase, it makes sense to evaluate if small changes are needed to ensure that eco-systems are protected. It's possible that access trails would need to be consolidated or trails re-routed or rebuilt, he said.
"You have to take a look at it and see what makes sense," he said. "You have to make all the pieces work. We have a pretty good balance right now."
Boulder resident and climber Buzz Burrell said climbers are worried because the open space department has increasingly moved toward limiting access.
The continued closure of off-trail areas, along with a nighttime closure implemented after the floods, is concerning, he said. He and other climbers said they would like to see the city follow Rocky Mountain National Park, which reopened its trails shortly after the flooding with a warning that conditions have changed and to proceed at your own risk.
"Open space staff are working very hard, which is appreciated," Burrell said. "The problem is they are doing things that don't need to be done, do not help the environment and are opposed by the citizens they are supposed to be protecting."

Benzocaine is a local anesthetic (numbing medication). It works by blocking nerve signals in your body.
Benzocaine topical is used to reduce pain or discomfort caused by minor skin irritations, sore throat, sunburn, teething pain, vaginal or rectal irritation, ingrown toenails, hemorrhoids, and many other sources of minor pain on a surface of the body. Benzocaine is also used to numb the skin or surfaces inside the mouth, nose, throat, vagina, or rectum to lessen the pain of inserting a medical instrument such as a tube or speculum.
There are many brands and forms of benzocaine topical available and not all brands are listed on this leaflet.
Benzocaine topical may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What is the most important information I should know about Anbesol Maximum Strength (benzocaine topical)?
Benzocaine topical used in the mouth or throat may cause methemoglobinemia (met-HEEM-oh glo-bin-EE-mee-a), a life-threatening condition in which the amount of oxygen in your blood stream becomes dangerously low. Do not use benzocaine topical if you have ever had methemoglobinemia.
GET EMERGENCY MEDICAL HELP IF YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS OF METHEMOGLOBINEMIA: headache, tired feeling, confusion, fast heart rate, and feeling light-headed or short of breath, with a pale, blue, or gray appearance of your skin, lips, or fingernails.
Do not use this medicine on a child younger than 2 years old without medical advice.
An overdose of numbing medications can cause fatal side effects if too much of the medicine is absorbed through your skin and into your blood. Use the smallest amount of this medication needed.
What should I discuss with my health care provider before using Anbesol Maximum Strength (benzocaine topical)?
Do not use benzocaine topical if you have ever had methemoglobinemia in the past.
An overdose of numbing medications can cause fatal side effects if too much of the medicine is absorbed through your skin and into your blood. This is more likely to occur when using a numbing medicine without the advice of a medical doctor (such as during a cosmetic procedure like laser hair removal). Be aware that many cosmetic procedures are performed without a medical doctor present.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to take this medicine if you have:
asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, or other breathing disorder;
heart disease;
a personal or family history of methemoglobinemia, or any genetic (inherited) enzyme deficiency; or
if you smoke.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether benzocaine topical will harm an unborn baby. Do not use this medicine without a doctor's advice if you are pregnant.
It is not known whether benzocaine topical passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medicine without a doctor's advice if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Do not use this medicine on a child younger than 2 years old without medical advice.
How should I use Anbesol Maximum Strength (benzocaine topical)?
Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Use the smallest amount of medicine needed to numb the skin or relieve pain. Do not use large amounts of benzocaine topical, or cover treated skin areas with a bandage or plastic wrap without medical advice.
Your body may absorb more of this medication if you use too much, if you apply it over large skin areas, or if you apply heat, bandages, or plastic wrap to treated skin areas. Skin that is cut or irritated may also absorb more topical medication than healthy skin.
This medication comes with instructions for safe and effective application. Follow these directions carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
To treat minor skin conditions, apply a thin layer of benzocaine topical to the affected area. If using the spray, hold the container 6 to 12 inches away from the skin. Do not spray this medication onto your face. Spray it instead on your hands and then rub it onto the face, avoiding contact with your eyes.
To treat hemorrhoids, clean the area with soap and water before applying benzocaine topical. Apply the medication up to 6 times per day. If you are using the rectal suppository, try to empty your bowel and bladder before inserting the suppository. Remove the outer wrapper from the suppository before inserting it. Avoid handling the suppository too long or it will melt in your hands.
Do not use benzocaine topical to treat large skin areas or deep puncture wounds. Avoid using the medicine on skin that is raw or blistered, such as a severe burn or abrasion.
Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or if they get worse within the first 7 days of using benzocaine topical. Also call your doctor if your symptoms had cleared up but then came back.
If you are treating a sore throat, call your doctor if the pain is severe or lasts longer than 2 days, especially if you also develop a fever, headache, skin rash, swelling, nausea, vomiting, cough, or breathing problems.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Do not freeze.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Since benzocaine topical is used when needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are on a schedule, use the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. An overdose of benzocaine topical applied to the skin can cause life-threatening side effects such as uneven heartbeats, seizure (convulsions), coma, slowed breathing, or respiratory failure (breathing stops).
What should I avoid while taking Anbesol Maximum Strength (benzocaine topical)?
Avoid eating within 1 hour after using benzocaine topical on your gums or inside your mouth.
Benzocaine topical is for use only on the surface of your body, or just inside the mouth, vagina, or rectum. Avoid getting this medication in your eyes. Avoid swallowing the gel, liquid, or ointment while applying it to your gums or the inside of your mouth. The throat spray or oral lozenge may be swallowed gradually during use.
Anbesol Maximum Strength (benzocaine topical) side effects
Benzocaine topical used in the mouth or throat may cause a rare but life-threatening condition called methemoglobinemia. In this condition, the amount of oxygen in your blood stream becomes dangerously low. This condition may occur after only one use of benzocaine or after several uses.
Signs and symptoms may occur within minutes or up to 2 hours after using benzocaine topical in the mouth or throat. GET EMERGENCY MEDICAL HELP IF YOU HAVE:
headache, tired feeling, confusion;
fast heart rate;
feeling light-headed or short of breath; and
pale, blue, or gray appearance of your skin, lips, or fingernails.
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using benzocaine topical and call your doctor at once if you have:
severe burning, stinging, or sensitivity where the medicine is applied;
swelling, warmth, or redness; or
oozing, blistering, or any signs of infection.
Common side effects may include:
mild stinging, burning, or itching where the medicine is applied;
skin tenderness or redness; or
dry white flakes where the medicine was applied.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

What other drugs will affect Anbesol Maximum Strength (benzocaine topical)?
It is not likely that other drugs you take orally or inject will have an effect on topically applied benzocaine. But many drugs can interact with each other. Tell each of your health care providers about all medicines you use, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products.

One of the most well known and tragic attacks during World War I was the sinking of the Lusitana in 1915. Torpedoed by a German U-boat off the coast of Cork, it sank quickly and claimed over one thousand lives with about seven hundred people surviving. One of those survivors, Michael G. Byrne, gave many details about the sinking in a letter to his wife. Extracts from the letter were published in the New York Times on 25 May 1915. The article outlines that after Mr. Byrne was rescued he eventually made his way to Paulstown, where he stayed with relatives.[1]
Michael Byrne was born in the late 1860s in Ireland. He came to New York around 1887 and married a German woman named Herminie in the 1890s.[2] The newspaper article notes that he was living at 444 West 50th St in Manhattan and it is at this address that the 1910 and 1920 US censuses show him living with his wife. [3] By 1920 they had been married 26 years and did not have any children.[4]

Welcome disc golfer! You can login or create an account.
Questions? Call us: (785) 258-2494
The Discraft Pro-D Cyclone is a legendary extra long range driver with stabilities of 0.0 (stable) to 1.0 (slightly overstable). In the mid-90s, the Cyclone golf disc ruled the tee, and ushered in the era of disc golf drivers made from high-tech engineered polymers (first Elite X). It's easy to throw and control whether you're going straight, hyzer or anhyzer. A disc golf standard! Great for beginners, a favorite among new players.
Pro-D plastic is the least expensive. It's great for beginners as entry level discs and pros love them too when they get 'beat up' and 'broken in'. It offers superior grip and comes in a rainbow of colors.
About Color and Availability - Pictured above are some available Pro-D colors. This model may not be available in all of these colors. Likewise, each weight range may not be available in all colors.

NRC Board of Directors selects new membersWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
The National Railroad Construction and Maintenance Association (NRC) voted in three new board members.
The NRC named Joe Daloisio, track division manager, Railroad Construction Co., Inc., to the board. Daloisio has grown up in the railroad construction industry and is a third generation 'Trackman.' He has spent most of his life on the tracks, from visiting jobsites as a young boy, to yard worker, laborer, operator, foreman, supervisor and now managing the day-to-day track operations of Railroad Construction Co. He has worked for a wide range of customers, including state and local agencies, Class 1 railroads, shortlines, New Jersey Transit, Metropolitan Transportation Authority/ New York City Transit, Long Island Rail Road, Metro-North, Amtrak, private industries and the federal government.
The NRC also named Scott Goehri, senior vice president and global director of freight railroads, HDR Engineering, Inc., to the bard. Goehri's career in the freight railroad industry began in 1979 as a co-op student working with the Missouri-Pacific Railroad. He has served as a project manager and BNSF client manager at HDR and also as the director for the Fluor/HDR Global Design Consultants, which is a separate company focused on executing transportation projects with construction values of greater than $300 million delivered in a design-build format.
Daniel Stout, vice President, STX Railroad Construction Services was also voted into the board of directors. Stout will focus his energy on initiatives that create value and opportunities for NRC member companies, including: encouraging the Class 1 railroads to increase their utilization of NRC member contractors for construction and maintenance and lobbying local and federal government representatives for dedicated sources of passenger rail and rail transit funding and ways to take freight off of trucks and put it on rail.
Three incumbents running to continue their service on the NRC board were also re-elected:
Danny Brown – corporate equipment manager, RailWorks Corporation
Clayton Gilliland – senior project manager, Stacy and Witbeck, Inc.
Dave Minor – vice president – A&K Railroad Materials, Inc.


text: Really? I call BS. The Chiefs sucked this weekend and you cannot blame the refs for freaking two field goals. We cannot expect to always have Cassel rush for over a hundred yards in the first half, we cannot turn the ball over three freaking times and expect to win. Complain about the refs all you want, but this team has to play better than they did today. Period

quote:Originally posted by shellacI am quite amazed at the overall results of this poll. I will agree that TSN and Sportsnet win when it comes to live sports coverage. TSN did an amazing job with the CFL this year and i cannot wait to see what they do next year. As an Alberta Boy, Sportsnet has been a savior for guys like me when it comes to Calgary and Edmonton games. Before Sportsnet we were lucky to get 25 televised games a year, now between TSN, CBC, and Sportsnet we get about 65 games for each AB team, the vast majority of those being on Sportsnet. however their analysis is lacking greatly seeing as Kipreos is their most entertaining commentator (the bar isn't set that high)Many people out East don't see it, and it is understandable, but TSN is guilty of their Leafs/Habs bias. Which makes sense seeing as that is the big market in Canada. My problem with TSN lies in their analysis:The following 2 examples are just the ones that pissed me off the most over the last few years: TSN isn't always badExamples:Last Year Marchish? (no exact date)I remember tuning into Sportscenter and the top story was about the what happened in Leafs practice that day (an off day, Maurice juggled some lines by the way!), as opposed to the one of the 12 NHL games that were underway and/or final. In my mind Sports news and analysis should focus on what happened on the competitive Ice, Field, Diamond, Court ect. today. Save "practice" stories for afterwards2 Years ago, 2-4 weeks before trade deadlineTSN was airing a Calgary game, which i remember being a close game, with many chances and some phenomenal saves, It was one of those games. During the intermission however, this is what i got:Duthie: "There you have it! Calgary leads <other team> by one goal in a very exciting game, stay tuned until after the break and we will have complete analysis and highlights from around the NHL"Commercial - Dove SoapCommercial - ToyotaPromo - Leafs/Trashers tomorrow at 7pm!!!! (game of the year!)Commercial - Pokerstars.netPromo - Habs/Kings Thusday at 9pm!!! (can't wait!!!)Duthie: "Welcome back, Joining me is as usual is our panel consisting of Bob Mckenzie, Pierre Maguire, and some other coach/player that is jobless/retired this year. Now with trade deadline coming up, what moves do the Leafs have to make to give themselves a chance of making the playoffs?"I then watched 10 minutes of 4 guys talking about a team that was not playing and was not going to make the playoffs, and ignoring a perfectly exciting game right in front of them.When it comes to Highlights, Analysis and Entertainment THE SCORE is the best! Yes they don't have good live sports, but they make it up with 3 things.1. Basic Sports Analysis:Score tonight withe Sid and TimThe Footy ShowRadio Show Broadcasts (HHT, Drive This)Score Today/Final Score generic HighlightsAll Great shows with great viewpoints, and they all have fun.2. HARDCORE HOCKEY TALK (formally THE SPIN)This is the best hockey talk show of all time, the hosts are annoying and opinionated, but they represent all sides of the hockey mentality. They have great segments with referees, call ins and of course "10 Minute Misconduct"3. Cabbie/ Gerry DeeAlways remind us that we should not take sports so seriously.#1 The Score #2 Sportsnet#3 TSN
quote:Originally posted by semin-rulesI feel TSN has the best overall everythign !i like their colours,their logos,their commentators are great,Jay Onrait is my personal fave. He is just so witty and funny.They just have a great station,I like the way they do things.Keep it up ~~~GO STARS~~~

I will try spacing the detents out and see if that helps. I haven't done the dykem yet but I will try that too. I will disassemble it and take it to work. We have full sets of precision guage blocks so can figure out internal dimensions of everything.
If I were to make a new shorter on-off pin to try, which side is shorter, the fat side or the skinnier side?

Finding information on how to level a particular class in a DPS spec isn't hard to do. Most classes (except Rogues, apparently nobody likes being a Rogue) have at least a decent blogging community dedicated to them and/or you can find posts for it on forums all over the place. You can find most of the same for leveling as a tank as well. But when it comes to healing guides, almost all of them are aimed at healing in heroics or raids, or how to switch from a non-healing spec to the healing spec.
Personally, I don't like just grabbing a random spec I've never tried before when my character is a high level. I don't like learning when I have all the tools I'll ever need thrown at me all at once. Rather than grabbing a spec I know nothing about I prefer to reroll the character, especially if the spec in question is tanking or healing because of their nature. If I pick up an unfamiliar DPS spec my team can usually carry me while I'm busying sucking and trying to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing, but I can't do that as a tank or a healer because I'm the only one filling that role at the time and my failure would lead to the group's failure.
I believe that the best way to become truly skilled and knowledgeable about a particular spec is to level in it. I'm not saying it's the only way, you could certainly do it without ever experiencing the spec until you reach max level, but that knowledge is so much easier to pick up if you've had the time to learn about each and every ability as it becomes available to you rather than just having them all thrown at you at once.
So I'm going to do a little mini-project, which is to level a character form 1-85 in their healing spec the entire way. I know it can be done, my wife did it on her first Paladin. The results of this test, which are going to be based on how fun it was and how hard/easy it is will determine whether it becomes a larger project (leveling all of the healing classes in their healing spec), or if I just say, "that was fun, but uh…yeah, never again."
But I'm not going to take the easy route, I'm not just sticking to LFG where four other people do my leveling for me; I'm going to experience the leveling content in every aspect of the game. So I'm going to take the healer(s) into dungeons, I'm going to take them into battlegrounds and I'm going to quest with them all with the healing spec. I'm not even going to purchase dual specs for them because I know if I do I'm going to be tempted to cheat and grab a DPS spec that I'm sure I'll tell myself "oh, it's just for a BG or two so I can throw someone off of the Lumber Mill in AB." None of that, these suckers are going to live or die (/delete) by their own healing power.
Having done at least some leveling with all of the healing classes with varying degrees of healing experience, I already know a few things off the bat about each class:
- Druid: Can be very boring as HoT's are very powerful and quick/instant cast.
- Paladin: Some healing spells or related spells can be used offensively to help leveling.
- Priest: Similar to the Pally, they have some heals that can be used offensively.
- Shaman: Passive healing from Earth Shield can make up for time spent DPSing.
Knowing that Druid healing is frequently boring, I'm less inclined to have them be the class I use for the first test. On the flip side, their powerful HoT's could very well make up for their boring factor by allowing me to deal damage during the downtime. I'm still considering the druid, but right now they're the lowest on the list.
Paladin healing I've only done in the low level battlegrounds and tiny bit in Northrend during Wrath. I don't think I have any real "need" for another Paladin right now, so I might leave this one for one of the last slots as well as the character would likely end up deleted and rarely/never played.
The Priest is a class I'm really enjoying right now, but still in the Shadow spec that I've recently blogged about. I'm not a great Priest healer and that's something that I want to work on, and I'd really love to learn it by leveling instead of just flailing into it on my 85. As such, this is a big contender for first or second. I would likely go Holy over Disc because Holy is labeled more as the "used for heals only" spec where Disc is more "use for heals or leveling".
Lastly we have the Shaman, a class I'm also having a lot of fun leveling right now, but both of my existing Shaman are in DPS specs. My Resto Shaman experience extends to about level 25 as my current Enhancement Shaman was originally a level 19 Resto Twink (which is why he's named Tiklemonster, btw). I know that Shaman healers are very powerful at low levels as even after Cataclysm I managed to solo a couple of the low level dungeons, one of which (SFK) my buddy Cynwise hasn't managed to solo yet on his super-twinked 19 Prot Warrior…yet. This ranks the Shaman near the Priest in priority as I had a lot of fun with the Resto spec.
So for right now I'm left with the big question – Resto Shaman or Holy Priest.

In an aggressive push to capture market share in central and southern New Jersey, Investors Bancorp Inc., in the Short Hills section of Millburn, has signed an agreement to acquire Robbinsville-based Roma Financial Corp. for $452 million in stock.
"We already do a fair amount of lending in the Philadelphia area … and part of what we do in lending is push heavily for deposits. But with our institution built up in Short Hills and the northern part of the state, it's difficult to get those deposits," Investors CEO Kevin Cummings said on a conference call this morning. "This acquisition will put us right in those communities and let us cross sell that market more aggressively."
Under the agreement, Investors will acquire Roma's $1.5 billion deposit portfolio over 26 branch locations, most of which are scattered throughout Mercer and Burlington counties. When the deal is completed, said Domenick Cama, Investors chief operating officer, the company will have a combined $8.9 billion in deposits.
The Roma deal marks Investors' seventh acquisition since June 2008, and it follows the company's recent deposit expansion in New York through its $135 million cash purchase of Marathon Banking Corp. in October.
Cummings said the mutual holding company's anticipated second step conversion to full stock ownership in 2013 — which will raise additional capital and produce greater equity returns to shareholders — sold Roma on the buyout.
In a statement, Roma Chair Michele Siekerka said the "transaction opens up many new opportunities for our shareholders, our community, our employees and our customers."
"Investors is a well-managed, community-oriented institution which, like Roma Bank, distinguishes itself with its focus on customer service," Roma President and CEO Peter A. Inverso said in a statement. "The breadth of Investors' product offerings will allow us to maintain, expand and enhance services and products for our customers."
Cummings said Investors "went into this deal as a partnership," as the firm invited three Roma board members to join its board and offered the remaining members seats on its advisory board.
"Their way of doing business is very similar to the way we operate this organization, so we expect a smooth integration of culture and business plans," Cummings said.
The acquisition, which is expected to cost Investors $23 million in pre-tax restructuring charges, has been approved by both firms' boards and is anticipated to close in the second quarter of 2013, pending shareholder and regulatory approvals.
Cummings anticipates Roma subsidiary RomAsia Bank, which has branch locations in Edison and the Monmouth Junction section of South Brunswick, will also merge into Investors when the deal closes.
