sling installation help
I'm seriously considering attending an appleseed event in the next month or so and need some help with sling installation on my Ruger 10/22 (synthetic stock). Could someone help me out with figuring out what swivels will work with the synthetic stock and how (and where) to install them. I don't have much experience doing modifications to my firearms.
...and while I'm asking questions, with my scope base installed I noticed that I am unable to use the stock sights. If I went and bought Tech Sites would that still be the case? How difficult is it to install tech sites? Would I need to remove the scope base (not sure I can without stripping the screws) to use them?

I bought some sling mounts from uncle mikes but never installed them. Its hard getting started in gun stuff. Lots of the people on here had help from family or know someone who can do gun stuff for them. Even to install sling swivels you will need a vice and a drill and somewhere to mount the vice. For younger calgunners that may live in appartments or rent you cant do that and i havent found gun people to be very helpful.
I cheated with my mounts. I took it to a local gunsmith to install. He did it while I waited lol. As far as using iron sights and scope. I use one or the other. There are some raised see through rails you can get with stock sights. Don't know how good they are though. I believe if you install the tech sights, they mount on the receiver where the scope rail normally goes. So it would be one or the other.
I used my scope for Appleseed. It really doesn't matter weather you use scope or irons as they teach you technics that will work with either lol.
edit: By the way, you really want a U.S.G.I. type web sling. You'll find out why when you go.

I haven't worked with synthetic stocks, so take this with a slight grain of salt. However, it's not too difficult to install sling studs. Basically you need a drill, wrenches, pliers.
Sling studs are pretty much all the same. The front stud is usually a machine screw designed to go through the forearm, and held in place by a countersunk nut. Plan to Loctite this nut in place. The rear stud has a sharper thread, more like a wood screw, so this one you'll want to drill and screw in carefully and seal with an all-purpose adhesive (not epoxy, it'll react with the stock).
Once studs are installed, you'll want detachable sling swivels, 1 1/4" wide. These slip on without tools. Done.
Finally we recommend the cotton US GI M1 sling. Available anywhere for $10-$15. Easy to install.
Another temporary option, not ideal but it works, is to just secure the sling to the front of your rifle with zip ties. We do this at Appleseed frequently. With the M1 sling (or any other Loop-capable sling) you only need attachment at the front, not the back.
For sighting options, Tech Sights are reversible but you cannot use them at the same time as the stock sights -- nor will you want to. There's no reason to go back to stock in my opinion.
See-through scope mounts are not something I find useful either. In order to work, they both elevate your scope away from the bore axis (bad) and require you to have a different cheek weld when using irons vs. the scope (really bad). If you choose to go with a scope, plan to leave it there. It's a perfectly valid option.

Far apart!
Seriously, you want to leave enough material to hold the studs, so say an inch from the ends. Note that the rear stud may go in at an angle so make sure it won't poke out the back. Also make sure there aren't any other fasteners back there for the stud to run into (like screws holding on a buttplate, for instance). Ideally when you're holding the rifle properly, your support hand should index against the sling stud, but that's not critical.
You can take a look at a picture of a normal rifle with sling swivels to get an idea. There's little advantage to moving them closer together.

I am not sure about the mounting points on a synthetic stock. However, on my wood stocked 10/22's I mount the swivel studs about 1.25" from the end of the butt (not counting the buttplate) and about the same from the end of the thick part of the forend (the part behind where the barrel band goes).
One more thought. I have used the Uncle Mike's barrel band swivel mount for a front sling attachment with great success on one of my 10/22's (shot my rifleman's score with that rifle). This is a swivel mount that goes on the middle of the barrel band bolt. All you need is a screwdriver to install and it requires no modification to your rifle, so it is totally reversible if you decide you don't like it. Going that route would give a you a front sling attachment point which is all you need to use the "loop" sling, the most stable of the sling options we teach at Appleseed. Be sure to get 1.25" swivels.
Here is a link to the barrel band mount kit: http://www.opticsplanet.com/uncle-mi...-carbines.html Only bummer is that it only comes with 1" swivels, so you still have to get 1.25" swivels.

One thing to watch with synthetic 10/22 stocks that come from Ruger is that many of them are hollow. The wood screw threaded sling studs won't work. You have to get the ones with machine screws and nuts, take off the butt plate, and get a nut on the screw after you've made the hole through the stock.
BTW, if you have a rifle with pre-installed 1" swivels, you can pick up a GI type sling that's only 1" wide from the Tech-sights guys. That will work fine for shooting a 'seed - just be aware it concentrates the pressure on a smaller area of your bod, so you may want some extra cloth on your upper arm and a glove on your hand.
Hi, we hammer on these types of questions alot in the rimfire section here on CALGUNS.
I would suggest two fingers from the end as a basic guide, or find the uncle mike barrel band option (these are tough to find), or just replace the stock.
10/22's are wonderful for personalization and you can replace your factory stock with a replacement stock, like the hogue overmold stock, just make sure it has the sling studs on the front and back

|How is Larenim mineral makeup better than other mineral makeups?
|Many people believe that all mineral makeups are the same, but this couldn't be further from the truth. It's all about the formulation, attention to detail, and the quality of ingredients. Note these features about Larenim mineral makeup:
|How is Larenim® mineral makeup better than conventional makeup?
|Well, let us count the ways...
|Are Larenim cosmetics organic?
|The word "organic" is often used with natural products. By definition, organic means "of, relating to, or derived from living organisms". Minerals, on the other hand, are considered inorganic since they are composed of non-living elements from the earth. Larenim products primarily consist of these natural, inorganic minerals.
|Are the powders drying?
|Most powders are drying due to the talc they contain. Larenim® mineral makeup has no talc and actually helps trap moisture in the skin.
|Can Larenim® mineral makeup products be used on mature or wrinkled skin?
|Yes. Larenim® mineral makeup is light refractive which minimizes the appearance of lines and other imperfections. If your skin is dry, first apply Age ReDew Serum as a moisturizing primer. Wait 10 minutes until all moisturizer is absorbed before applying Larenim® mineral makeup. Also, consider spritzing with Hyaluronic Hydration Mist to "set" makeup and further enhance its qualities. The Mist may be reapplied during the day as needed.
|How does Larenim® mineral makeup help rosacea and post laser treatment skin? Which shade is best for concealing the redness?
|Larenim® mineral makeup has no irritants. It has zinc oxide which is very soothing and healing for the skin. For rosacea or post laser treatment skin, try "2w", "3w", or "4w" which are yellow-based and neutralize red skin. Remember—2 or 3 thin layers of Larenim® foundation are more effective than one heavy application. Or try Larenim® Mineral AirbrushTM Pressed Foundation which has a higher coverage level.
|I use acne medicine. Can I combine this with Larenim® products?
|Yes. Larenim® mineral makeup is very compatible with acne medications. Larenim® mineral makeup is soothing and healing. Note: Dusk ´til DawnTM facial powder is excellent on acne blemishes and can be applied under foundation. The Dusk ´til DawnTM Masque is a deep cleansing and purifying formula with bentonite clay, green tea extract and zinc oxide to draw out impurities, eliminate dead skin cells, help control excess oil and soothe acne prone and irritated skin. This masque is perfect for all skin types and is gentle enough to use with acne medication.
|How do I select a foundation?
|The "C´s" (after the number) indicate "cool" colors with pink undertones while the "W´s" indicate "warm" colors with yellow undertones. Many Caucasian women believe before trying them, that they will be a "C"ool. But, the truth is that many of them look better with a "W"arm because they may have a lot of red in their skin. Reddish skin becomes beautifully minimized with a warm color. Test your foundation shade on your face, not your hand. Your hand will not give you an accurate depiction of how your color will look on your face. Wait at least ten minutes to decide if your shade is a good match—even if it initially looks like it is. The right shade should essentially disappear into the skin. Most foundations will deepen a little within ten to fifteen minutes of application.
|Every once in a while I get a streak while applying my foundation. What´s happening?
|There are two possibilities: Your skin could be damp (or still have moisturizer that hasn´t absorbed yet). Fine pigment minerals were not dispersed before applying. All of our makeup is hand crafted and custom blended so occasionally you may need to "buff" the foundation a little more into your skin.
|Can I use the blush on my eyes?
|Yes. We have no FD&C dyes (petroleum derived) in our makeup. That means Larenim®mineral makeup can be applied all over your face. Unlike Larenim® blush, many conventional blushes contains red dyes, including red dye #40, which is known to irritate the eye area.
|Is Larenim® mineral makeup good for all skin types?
|Absolutely! Whether you have dry, wrinkled, acne, oily or sensitive skin, Larenim® products are is ideal for you!
|Can I use foundation on my body too?
|Yes. The foundation is beautiful on the decollete. You can also use Larenim® foundation to help conceal spider veins on your legs!
|I´ve tried other mineral makeup and found my skin looked worse. It was shiny and showed big pores. How is Larenim® mineral makeup different?
|First of all, Larenim® products contain no bismuth oxychloride which can make even dry or porcelain skin look greasy and large pored. We use mica to capture the radiant glow. Some mineral makeup companies use large flaked mica which winds up looking "sparkle-y" on the skin, rather than "dewy" as it should. That sparkle-look is not attractive!
|I´ve been reading lately about mica. Is mica irritating to the skin? Is it shiny? Does it contain crystalline silica?
|Mica has an extremely low irritation rate and does not appear shiny. Our mica is 100% U.S. Cosmetic Grade, which is a different class of mica than that which contains crystalline silica.
|What quality standards does Larenim® mineral makeup adhere to?
|Larenim® mineral makeup uses only U.S. CERTIFIED COSMETIC GRADE minerals. There are many gorgeous (and inexpensive) minerals available from around the world, but we choose not to use them because they lack U.S. Approval Codes. You can rest assured that you will get only the very best approved minerals in Larenim® products.
|Are your products tested on animals?
|No! Our products are only tested on enthusiastic human participants.
|What tools do I need for applying Larenim® mineral makeup?
|Larenim® professional quality brushes are essential for creating the most natural, flawless application. Ideally, you would have our Luscious Kabuki or Softer than SableTM Vegan Kabuki for buffering your foundation. Our Blonzer brush allows for perfect application of bronzer for an overall sunkissed look. This brush may also be used with our finishing powders, highlighter and blush to achieve a beautiful finish alone or over your favorite foundation. Our Camouflauge Oval and Camouflage Oval Grande brushes are great for applying concealer to blemishes or under eyes, as well as applying Eye Colour. Some women may want to use our Flocked Sponge for "spackling" the pores a bit. Larenim® offers several high quality brushes to apply Eye Colour, helping you to achieve a variety of different looks to fit your mood! Larenim®Eyeliners and Eye Colours may be applied with the Eyeliner Brush dry for a soft, smoky eye or mixed with water to create a long-wearing liquid formula. Our Eye Kabuki brush is perfect for feathering color over the entire lid.
|Larenim eye colour stays on my lids extremely well. What should I use to remove it?
|Larenim® Cucumber Eye Makeup Remover will gently, yet thoroughly, remove any applied mineral makeup.
|Most lip glosses I've tried are either sticky or dry out my lips. What makes Diamond Girl Glossy Lip Colour different?
|Larenim® Glossy Lip Colours do not contain Polyisobutene/Polyisobutylene (which is used as the primary ingredient in almost all lip glosses today). This petroleum-derived substance is very tacky. Instead, we use a 100% natural blend of botanical-derived emollients. Diamond Girl Glossy Lip Colours have a lightweight feel yet provide enduring moisture and shine!
|I have very large pores and very flushed skin. Do you recommend anything else?
|Larenim® Invisi-PoreTM is an incredible priming and touch-up product which serves to literally fill in pores for a smoother finish, as well as combat oil shine (which has a tendency to exaggerate pore size). Apply with a kabuki brush over face and use the Camouflage Oval Grande brush for precision application. Other hints: Try buffering small amounts of Larenim®Mineral SilkTM onto the affected area after applying your foundation. It is very effective at creating a "porcelain image." Or apply Dusk ´til DawnTM powder with the Camouflage Oval Grande brush before applying foundation. It is another excellent pore filler.
|What is the shelf life of Larenim® mineral makeup?
|Larenim® loose mineral makeup should not harbor bacteria, so it should keep its quality for about four years. Larenim® Mineral AirbrushTM Pressed Foundation lasts about three years. MineralashTM Mascara should be used within three months after first use. Note: Occasionally people comment that they notice an aroma with the Pressed Foundation. This is the natural aroma of the cold pressed, organic jojoba and the honeysuckle extract.
|I have used a non-acnegenic, non-comedogenic makeup. What makes Larenim® mineral makeup so special for acne?
Larenim® mineral makeup will not clog your pores. Like thousands of women everywhere, you´re probably still breaking out from your current makeup. We´ve spent years researching ingredients and almost all mainstream companies simply don´t tell the truth about the breakout potential and pore-clogging attributes of their products. Many women experience confusion when they use a makeup labeled "non-comedogenic" or "non-acnegenic" and their skin continues to break out. For instance, some companies will claim their foundation is non-comedogenic, yet they contain algae extracts. Algae is considered to be highly comedogenic and acnegenic.
While using Larenim® mineral makeup, most women find their skin improving with continued use. This means that as long as you´re not applying other pore-clogging products to your skin, after about a month of consistent use, the appearance of your skin should improve.
|Does Larenim® mineral makeup have an SPF Rating?
|Although titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, found in Larenim® foundation and blushes, are well known sun blocking agents, an SPF assessment has not been performed.
|I have extremely sensitive skin and have tried many makeups which claim to be hypoallergenic, but still there is irritation. How is Larenim® mineral makeup different?
|While we cannot guarantee "zero" irritation potential, Larenim® mineral makeup has one of the lowest possible irritation risks on the market today!

Address: 2609 U.S. Rt 22, Fredricksburg, PA 17026
Establishment No.: p493
USDA Inspection Report: 23 Mar 2012
Code: 03J04
Violation: 381.65(e), 417.2(c)(4)
Citation: At approximately 1135 hours, while performing a Finished Product Standards (Processing/Trims Nonconformance) Test at the Pre-chill Station) on the West Evisceration Line, I randomly selected ten poultry carcasses from the west evisceration line and inspected them for Processing/Trims Nonconformance. I observed fecal material on one of the ten randomly selected test carcasses. I immediately took a regulatory control action on the west evisceration line by stopping production. The fecal material on the poultry carcass was located on the inside of the left keel bone approximately 1 inch from the tip of the breast covering an area 1/2 inches in length and 1/8 inch in wide. The fecal material was light brownish in color, semi-solid, pasty consistency approximately 6mm in size. This is a failure for zero tolerance of visible fecal material and a failure of CCP 1B of plants HACCP plan. (Quality Assurance) was informed of my finding. The poultry carcass was shown to Mr. SCSI and (1st Processing Superintdent). The affected carcass was condemned by establishment. After the establishment implemented immediately corrective action in accordance with the regulatory requirements of 9 CFR 417.3, I relinquish my regulatory control action. There were no plant employees between me and the chiller when I observed the failure of CCP 1B of the plants HACCP Plan. This is the last point before the chill system when control can be exerted to prevent the contaminated poultry carcass from entered the chiller system in violation of regulation 9 CFR 381.65(e) and 9 CFR 417.2 (c) (4). The establishment has identified fecal material to be a hazard in its hazard analysis and controls the hazard with CCP 1B. Fecal material harbors microorganisms and possible pathogens and must be prevented from entering into the chill system. I then performed a HACCP verification procedure for the specific lot (Lot#4) for all CCP's plus the preshipment review. Establishment management has received oral and written notification concerning this noncompliance. FSIS would expect the establishment to have procedure in place to prevent the reoccurrence of contaminated birds from entering the chill system. This document serves as a written notification that your failure to comply with regulatory requirements could result in additional enforcement action as described in 9 CFR part 500.
381.65(e) Poultry carcasses contaminated with visible fecal material shall be prevented from entering the chilling tank.

Previously I owned a Galaxy Nexus, and a Nexus S, so ICS isn't all that new to me. It just seems like a different experience after being on Gingerbread for so long.
The first two apps I downloaded were Chrome, and Apex Launcher. I know there has to be some unknown gems that people are enjoying, so tell me, what's your favorite?

I like to wear unique tennis clothing and recently I got some tennis apparel with saying on them.
When I'm practicing the words are a friendly reminder of what to do (and what not to do).
I also absolutely LOVE the Tennis Princess and Tennis Diva tshirts. I wear them constantly.
I got them at www.zazzle.com/tangellasport .
I'm curious. Has anyone else worn these? and do you think you would get them?

Hi Karen,
I think this reads like an advertisement... which is actually fine.
But if you designed these and this is your shop, just tell us so.
You can be honest here.
Welcome to the site,
No, I wouldn't wear anything with "Tennis Princess" on them. I'm a dude! lol
Yeah, but how about Tennis Diva? You always seemed like a Diva to me. :-P
If it had a picture of Tina Turner or Cher, then I'll wear it. lol
Hi Karen,
I liked tennis sport, to play perfect shots have to maintain quality and comfortable tennis apparels. I bought best tennis sports apparels in playgroundonline.com which are perfect fit and comfortable to me.
This thread is so hilariously spammy, that I want to leave it here just for the laughs.

(Reuters) - John Daly shot his highest ever score on the PGA Tour, an astonishing 19-over-par 90, in the second round at the Tampa Bay Championship on Friday.
The two-time major champion, who is suffering from the yips, ran up a 12 at the par-four 16th hole, where he put three balls into the water on the Copperhead course at Innisbrook in Palm Harbor, Florida.
But it was not his worst single-hole score, because he had an 18 at the par-five sixth hole at the 1998 Bay Hill Invitational in Orlando.
"I just played awful," Daly told the Tampa Bay Times website.
"It really wasn't that bad of a drive," Daly said of his disaster at the 16th hole.
"Then I tried to hit two three-woods over the water and then bailed out left. Shanked a seven-iron from there. Got up and down for a 12. It was a good 12."
Daly also had five bogeys and three double bogeys, which he blamed primarily on the putting yips.
"It's no fun," he said of the yips after recording 37 putts. "I can't stop it."
Daly, 47, captured the imagination of the golf world when he emerged from obscurity to win the 1991 PGA Championship with a powerful display of long driving that was unprecedented at the time.
He added the 1995 British Open at St. Andrews to his winning resume, but has always been an inconsistent player with a long history of at least one round each year in the 80s.
His previous worst score was an 89 at the 2008 British Open at Turnberry.
At least he finished on Friday, signing for a 22-over 164 total.
At the 2011 Australian Open he quit after running out of balls at The Lakes course in Sydney.

Fire Department announces it is unable to contract a company for 2013 carnival
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The words "the carnival is in town" will likely not be heard for the first time in many years in Punxsutawney the week before the Fourth of July, as the Punxsutawney Fire Department has announced it is unable to contract a company for this year.
"It's with a heavy heart that I announce that there will be no carnival in Punxsutawney this year," said Tami McFarland, president of the Punxsutawney Fire Department Old Home Week Committee.
She said that, due to the ever-worsening economy and increasing fuel charges, J&J Amusements can no longer afford to travel to Punxsy.
"It's sad that we have to part with J&J, as they've been playing in Punxsy for the last 30 years and have become like a family to our firefighting community," McFarland said, adding that many friendships have developed over the years.
"J&J has been very good and generous to the Punxsutawney Fire Department, and they will be missed," she said.
McFarland said the Old Home Week Committee has been diligently searching for alternate amusement companies since last June.
"However, we ran into scheduling issues, unavailability and financial differences," she said.
"So, as of now, we have not been able to retain a new company for our annual carnival," McFarland added.
But McFarland said "the end" may not be the end — at least not yet. The committee is not going to give up on this time-honored tradition and will continue its search for the next year.
She said the annual Firemen's Parade will still be held this year and is slated for 4 p.m. Saturday, June 29 on West Mahoning Street in downtown Punxsy.
"We are still discussing other events that we can institute that day, such as firefighter games at the carnival grounds behind the Punxy Plaza," she said.
"I am personally so disappointed that we can't bring in the carnival to Punxsy this year, and I understand how important this event is to the children in our community. It is such a wonderful tradition that we are not going to give up easily," McFarland said.
She said there's a lot of history connected with Old Home Week in general. According to "McKnight's History of Jefferson County" and the Punxsutawney Area Historical and Genealogical Society, the celebration was first held Aug. 23-28, 1909.
"During this eventful week, nearly everyone who had ever lived in Punxsy returned to visit, and an elaborate program was carried out each day for their entertainment," William J. McKnight wrote, adding that "the town was resplendent with beautiful decorations, and the air filled with music during the entire week, and fully a hundred thousand people witnessed the various big events on the program."
McKnight said the whole community contributed to the success of the yearly event.
"A large share of the credit must be given to A.J. Truitt. Esq., who was chairman and manager of the Old Home Week Association," McKnight wrote, adding that the original event was not sponsored by the local fire companies.
He said that between 1909 and 1940, there were no organized Old Home Week celebrations.
In 1940, Central, Elk Run and Lindsey fire companies joined together to organize a new week-long celebration, according to McKnight.
"The first Firemen's Old Home Week celebration was held with an opening church service, concerts and parades almost every day and free acts every night," according to a written account of Punxsutawney Fire Department history.
The 1984 Fire Department celebration was the 44th year of the Firemen's Old Home Week Celebration and the 75th anniversary of the original Punxsutawney Old Home Week.
McFarland said the carnival has actually been held in several different locations around town, including Maple Avenue at the baseball fields, Mahoning Street in downtown, the National Guard Armory on North Findley Street and now behind the Punxy Plaza.
"I've been working on the parade, and the committee is always looking for new acts and bands to march in the annual parade," McFarland said, adding that anyone who would like to participate can call her at 938-5524.
She said the committee will begin working on the alternate events in the beginning of February.

Had a 1st time lovely experience at Blue Violet Salon. My sweet hairdresser's name is Lilly and I was very impressed with her skills.
I waited a week to respond to this and would like to add that many people have commented on my haircut, asking who and where it was done. I hope those women follow up with your salon.

Northern Illinois Cat Clinic
This facility is great and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. From the staff to the doctors to the techs, everyone you encounter is genuinely concerned about your cat's best interests. Never once did I feel rush and I was able to understand everything the doctor was telling me. Dr Miller patiently and willing explained everything to me, answered all of my questions and gave me more information that I didn't even know I needed. It has been a while since my cat had seen a vet and I went in thinking I would be judged or pressured for a bunch of things that my cat "needed" but that wasnt the case. I enjoyed my experience so much Ill be taking my other cat here on the regular as well!Read More …

Ensuring safety at your kid's summer camp may require some extra legwork
Do your kids play sports? Are they signed up for athletic camps this summer? If so, you may need to ask some tough questions about the coaches and volunteers they'll be spending time with.
Research shows sex abuse happens in all sports at all levels, with young athletes pressured into keeping the abuse secret for the sake of protecting the team and winning at all costs.
Background checks are critical when it comes to protecting kids, but if the sport is not a school league, they're not always done.
Troy Gerber, regional director with Verified Volunteers, helps organizations like as Big Brothers, Big Sisters and The Oregon State Hockey Association screen people who want to work with kids.
Gerber says parents should know the organization's policy before their child's first game or practice.
"If you can't find anything online and they really don't have anything to share, that should be a red flag to me," said Gerber. "Many non-profits spend one fifty to three bucks and call it a 'national criminal background check,' and that's just a farce in my opinion."
In some cases, parents need to do the legwork. That means checking the Justice Department's national sex offender registry and going to your county courthouse to look into someone's criminal background.
Gerber says about 10 percent of Americans have a criminal record of some sort, so don't be surprised if you uncover misdemeanors, including something as serious as a DUI charge.
"One and done, I'm not so concerned about. But career criminals scare me a little bit because they're not learning and they're not taking their efforts at rehabilitation very seriously," he said.
Gerber warns that background checks weed out some people, but they're not fool-proof, and that's why parents need to get involved.
"You'd be surprised by how much opportunity is out there for us to serve in organizations, whether it's 30 minutes at the snack bar or becoming a board member," Gerber explained.
Parents should also always keep their eyes on interactions at games and practices. If something doesn't feel right – say something. And make sure your kids know that any abuse, whether it's verbal, emotional or physical, is not okay; and that some coaches might be in the game for the wrong reasons.

text: Wheat Climbs to Highest in Four Months on Argentina Crop Damage October 21, 2013 02:09 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bloomberg Email Wheat rose for a third day, climbing to the highest level in four months after cold and dry weather reduced the outlook for production in Argentina, threatening to curb record global supplies. Argentina last week forecast a wheat crop of 8.8 million tons, less than the 12 million tons predicted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and said 2013-14 exports of the grain may fall for a second year to 2 million tons. The outlook "suggests a tense situation on the South American continent, this after the poor Brazil harvest," Paris- based farm adviser Agritel wrote. "In this context the latter should be looking to the U.S. for its import needs." Wheat for December delivery rose 0.6 percent to $7.0975 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade by 5:24 a.m. after earlier touching $7.1125, the most for a most-active future since June 21. Futures trading volume was 73 percent higher than the average for the past 100 days for this time of day, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Milling wheat for November delivery traded on NYSE Liffe in Paris added 0.6 percent to 205.75 euros ($281.40) a ton. About 100,000 hectares (247,105 acres) were damaged in Entre Rios and La Pampa provinces due to cold weather and lack of rain, according to the Argentine Agriculture Ministry. The country is the Southern Hemisphere's second-biggest wheat exporter behind Australia. Wheat prices have fallen 8.8 percent in Chicago this year as the USDA predicts global production will jump to a record 708.9 million metric tons. Prices rose 2 percent last week, advancing for a fifth straight week. Brazilian Imports "Lower wheat production in Argentina limits their exportable surplus and means Brazil will remain large buyers of U.S. wheat," Luke Mathews, a commodity strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, wrote in a note today. Argentina's wheat exports may fall from 3.1 million tons in 2012-13 and 11.4 million tons in 2011-12, the country's Agriculture Ministry reported last week. Russia may lose 4 million tons from its potential harvest after rains restricted planting of winter crops, the Institute for Agricultural Market Studies said last week. Corn for December delivery added 0.6 percent to $4.44 a bushel. Soybeans for delivery in November advanced 0.3 percent to $12.945 a bushel. Back to news

Zen Pulp, Pt. 1: Vice Precedent: Michael Mann's existential TV dramaThe best episodes are the middle ones, and part 4, which focuses on Manhunter, is the best of them all. Video essays are a particularly fine way to explore film, because the evidence for an argument can be shown, specific scenes and even frames can be analyzed, and illuminating visual juxtapositions and comparisons are possible.
Zen Pulp, Pt 2: Lifetime subscriptions: Michael Mann's honor-bound individualists
Zen Pulp, Pt 3: I'm looking at you, Miss: The women of Mann
Zen Pulp, Pt. 4: Do you see?: Michael Mann's reflections, doubles, and doppelgängers
Zen Pulp, Pt 5: Crime Story: Michael Mann's influential pre-Miranda police procedural
The power of these web essays is heightened for me by my fascination with Mann's work -- among living American directors, he ranks nearly as high as Terrence Malick for me. There is a similar appeal to both directors, with Mann creating gritty, crime-obsessed cousins to Malick's more ethereal explorations of time and light. Indeed, the only Mann film I actually dislike, The Last of the Mohicans, may suffer in my view as much for not being The New World as it does for any of its other flaws (an overwrought script, clunky acting, an annoyingly intrusive score).
Zen Pulp does not discuss Mann's latest film, Public Enemies, but Matt Zoller Seitz has written an insightful review of it at IFC (other reviews worth reading are those of Scott Foundas and Manohla Dargis). There's a lot I love about Public Enemies (even beyond Johnny Depp and Thompson submachine-guns), but what struck me first was how different it is from Mann's previous film, the much-misunderstood Miami Vice, though both movies are exploring, among other things, the visual potential of digital cinematography. Vice, though, is like Mann's version of a Wong Kar-Wai movie; Public Enemies now and then feels like Jean-Pierre Melville. (I would say more, but for now everything I have to say has been said by the reviewers I linked to.)

Founding Father
Will Ferrell got his start at the legendary improv company The Groundlings after a less-than-successful attempt at stand-up, and an even less successful attempt at professional boogie boarding. At The Groundlings, he learned to love improv (and hate shirts). From there he was asked to audition for SNL, which he joined in 1995 and left in 2002. He has starred and written many movies over the years that have received critical acclaim and box office success, but by far his most important professional venture came in 2007 when he started Funny Or Die with writing partner Adam McKay.

Many readers are likely familiar with the fact that Windows 7 comes with a fairly comprehensive backup solution that includes, among other things, the ability to create a so-called system image of your entire PC. This system image is, more precisely, an exact duplicate of the hard drive(s) in your PC, in VHD (virtual hard disk) format, and it provides you with the ability to fully restore your PC to a previous, known-good state.
Pedantic sidebar: By default, the system image capability in Windows 7 only backs up "the drives required for Windows to run." The exact nature of these "drives" varies from system to system, and understanding how it works is even more confusing because of the way Windows 7 automatically partitions a hard drive. On a single disk system (most PCs and virtually all laptops), this will be the first (and only) fixed disk (i.e. "hard drive"), which is segregated into a hidden reserved partition and what we think of as the C: "drive" (which is in fact a partition, not a drive, but whatever). In the olden days, the C: drive would typically include the functionality of both the "startup disk" (the disk/partition that contains the files required for booting the PC) and the "system disk" (the disk/partition that contains the WINDOWS directory). And in Windows 7, that's pretty much how it works, though it's still possible for the startup and system disks to be different disks or partitions.
What this means to Windows Backup is that the system image capability will typically backup the C: drive only. But if you have partitioned the disk differently, or are dual-booting among two or more OSes, it's possible that it could include two or more partitions (or drives). If your configuration is more complicated than that, you can also use Windows Backup to manually create system images for the other disks and partitions in your PC.
The system image capability in Windows Backup is good at what it does. But it has other uses beyond the obvious. And one of those uses is an increasingly common scenario: You've got a PC with whatever hard drive in it, and it's running out of space. If you have a desktop PC, you might be able to simply add a new hard drive. But if you have a laptop, you almost certainly can't. In either case, however, there are advantages to not adding a hard drive but instead replacing the existing hard drive with one that offers more capacity and, perhaps, better performance.
The trick, of course, is doing so without losing anything: Your data, your installed applications, your settings, and so on.
I used Windows Backup for just this purpose recently. I've been using the same ThinkPad SL410 laptop for about a year now, and while it has the best keyboard I've ever used, the stock 320 GB hard drive isn't particularly voluminous and I was wondering whether I could get better performance out of a more modern hard drive. So I purchased a Seagate Momentus XT "hybrid" hard drive, which combines a small amount (4 GB) of solid-state storage with 32 MB of cache and a 7200 RPM hard disk to create a package that offers much of the performance of a true SSD drive for a fraction of the cost. Indeed, the 500 GB version I purchased cost just $109 on Amazon when I purchased it (though I notice its $129 today for some reason).
Here's how to make the swap.
For purposes of this exercise, I'm going to assume you're doing this with a single disk system like the laptop I used. You will need a USB hard disk or other supported backup media (which includes recordable DVD discs and, with Windows 7 Professional and higher, a network share) and a blank, writeable CD (or DVD).
First, manually create a system image of your PC's hard drive. You do this via the Backup and Restore control panel, which is the front-end UI for Windows Backup in Windows 7. There are about a hundred ways to reach this window, but the simplest, perhaps, is to open the Start Menu, type backup in Start Menu Search and tap Enter. You should see something like the following shot.
Click the linked titled "Create a system image" in the task pane to start the wizard. It will search for an acceptable backup device, and, if found, present it in the "Where do you want to save the backup?" phase of the wizard. Otherwise, you can manually point the wizard at an acceptable backup point.
Click Next and the wizard will show you where it's backing up to and what it's backing up. On a single disk system like the typical laptop, this will again be hidden, reserved partition (System Reserved) and the C: drive (System).
Click Start Backup to create the system image. This will take some number of hours, depending on the used disk space, your PC's overall performance, and the performance characteristics of the backup media. I backed up to a USB hard drive and it took several hours.
When the system image is done, the wizard will prompt you to make a System Repair disc. I recommend doing so, though you can launch this process separately from the main Backup and Restore interface later if you'd like.
A system repair disk is a bootable Windows 7 CD (or DVD) that provides two capabilities: It can present the various Windows 7 recovery options or use a system image backup to restore your PC to a previous state. You'll be using the latter functionality.
Once the system repair disc is done, eject the disk and shutdown the PC.
Now, unplug everything (cables, power supply, laptop battery, whatever) from the PC and remove the current hard drive. How you do this will of course vary from PC to PC, but on the ThinkPad it involved removing a panel on the bottom of the machine, sliding out the hard drive in its protective cage, removing the cage from the old hard drive, and then attaching it to the new hard drive. Then, insert the new hard drive, put everything back together, and reboot the computer, re-inserting the system repair disc so that the PC boots from that. (If the hard drive you've installed is truly new, the PC won't boot otherwise, anyway.)
When the system repair disc boots up, you'll be presented with a screen in which you choose between the recovery tools--which can be used to solve problems with your current Windows OS--or to "restore your computer using a system image you created earlier. Obviously, you want the latter option.
The Re-image your computer wizard will attempt to find a suitable system image file located on a device attached to the PC. If it can find one, it will present that as an option automatically. Otherwise, you may need to manually select the correct system image.
After that, you're given the opportunity to exclude certain disks, which applies to the target PC and not the imaged disks you're restoring. This can be useful in certain conditions, but for the single disk restore we're doing here it's not worth worrying about.
Then, you can click Finish to start the restore process.
Oddly, the restore process takes considerably less time than the backup. In my case, I believe it completed in under an hour. When the process is complete, the PC will reboot into the exact same Windows install--complete with all your custom settings, data files, applications, and whatnot--as before.
There is one final task, assuming the new disk is larger than the old: Windows Backup will restore the contents of the old C: drive to a new C: drive that is the same size as the old one. So you'll need to use Windows 7's disk partitioning tools to expand this partition to use all the extra space. Curiously, this tool is pretty well hidden, but you can find it by typing partition in Start Menu Search. You will see a control panel calledCreate and format hard disk partitions appear in the search results. Click that and the Disk Management tool appears.
Looking at Disk 0, you'll see some empty space after the C: partition. To use this space, right-click the C: partition (and not the empty space) and choose Extend Volume. Then, in the window that appears, tap Enter as needed to add all that empty space to the C: partition. When you're done, the C: partition will have been resized to be larger.
A few notes
One of the nice things about this process is that it's non-destructive. If something goes wrong, you can always get your old system back by putting the old hard drive back in the PC. In fact, you might consider saving that disk as-is as an in-time backup of sorts.
One of the other nice things about this process is that replacing a hard drive is not typically enough to trigger Windows Product Activation. So you won't need to worry about re-activating and, potentially failing an electronic activation attempt that would force you to call Microsoft, hat in hand, and ask for their eternal forgiveness. (OK, it's not that bad.)
Finally, this process also obviates the need to fully account for all of the provisioned applications and services on your PC. I'm talking about things like iTunes Store, Audible, and Zune Pass, which have only a certain number of associated PCs; this process will not waste a PC "slot" with these services. But it's also true of activation-protected software, like Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat. You won't have any issues with these or similar software titles.

Jerryd Bayless scored a season-high 21 points to help the Grizzlies win without point guard Mike Conley. Conley sat out with a sprained left ankle suffered in Sunday's loss to New Orleans.
The Grizzlies rallied from 17 down to take control late in the fourth. Bayless missed a jumper, Gay grabbed the rebound and put Memphis up 101-100 on a bucket with 13.3 seconds left. Philadelphia's Thaddeus Young missed a short attempt in front of the basket and the Grizzlies grabbed the rebound.
Gay hit both attempts from the free-throw line for the three-point cushion.
Nick Young couldn't get the tying shot off at the buzzer for the Sixers.
Tied at 79-all to start the fourth, neither team could break free the rest of the quarter.
Gasol hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer for a 93-90 lead but Evan Turner came right back with a short jumper and Thaddeus Young gave the Sixers a one-point lead after Memphis was whistled for an offensive foul.
Spencer Hawes hit a jumper and Jrue Holiday followed with basket after a fortuitous bounce popped the ball straight up off the rim and through the net for a 98-95 lead. It wasn't enough. The Sixers still haven't won consecutive games since they had a three-game winning streak from Nov. 25-30.
Turner scored a season-high 27 points, Thaddeus Young had 23, and Holiday had 18 points and 10 assists.
The Sixers need some good news.
Andrew Bynum, their 7-foot center, has targeted a post-All-Star break return from bone bruises in his knees that have sidelined him the entire season. The former Lakers All-Star, acquired in the offseason, dunked on Sunday for the first time with Philadelphia, a "baby step," in a comeback the Sixers are counting on to lift them into the playoff race.
Bynum sprinted at shootaround for the first time, and could practice by the end of the week.
Coach Doug Collins said Bynum can't wait to play.
"I think the most important thing is he's encouraged, that he's feeling better," he said before the game. "You can always tell when guys start feeling better. When you're hurt, you don't feel like you're part of the team."
He would have helped against Memphis.
Aided by near-flawless shooting, the Sixers had their highest-scoring first quarter of the season. They made 12 of their first 14 shots, including two 3s by Nick Young, and raced to a 17-point lead. A 44-percent shooting team, the Sixers made their first seven shots and led 33-20 at the end of the quarter.
Perhaps inspired by the sharp shooting, the Grizzlies came right back with a 14 of 18 second quarter, to take a 57-54 lead at halftime. Bayless was 7 of 10 for a season-high 19 points in the half. Not his high for a half. A game.
NOTES: 76ers G Jason Richardson (knee) missed his fourth straight game. ... Collins said he felt fine after leaving Saturday's game and missing practice the next day because of a sinus infection and blocked nasal passage. ... 76ers C Lavoy Allen needed stitches in his upper lip. ... Grizzlies F Zach Randolph had 12 rebounds.

Henry County residents have a unique opportunity facing them at the polls on Dec. 13. When you go to the voting booths on that day, voters will have the chance to vote yes or no on whether the county will go moist and allow our county to move forward with economic development.
The holiday season is now underway and for many this means spending time with our family and friends.
Sadly, over 450,000 children are in foster care nationwide and do not have a permanent home this holiday season. November is National Adoption Month, making this a great time to raise awareness about the importance of and need for finding permanent and loving homes for these children.
While many of these children are temporarily separated from their families, about 115,000 are eligible for adoption.
One of the country's most persistent challenges is finding ways to help those struggling with mental health and substance abuse issues beyond their control.
Federal figures show the number to be significant. In 2008, it was estimated that 30 million Americans had received treatment for a mental health issue in the previous year, and about 22 million were believed to be addicted to drugs or alcohol.
If it weren't for our front page, you might not know there's a wet/dry vote coming up.
There's been little discussion, very few phone calls and no letters to the editor about the local option votes to be held Dec. 13 countywide and for New Castle.
Even the referendum on the Henry County Country Club vote in June generated two letters. And that involved just one precinct.
Several years ago, when Eminence was considering by-the-drink liquor sales, there was plenty of public discussion for or against.
Bullying is one of the most common forms of violence seen in schools. A national survey conducted by the federal government in 2007-08 found that more than 55 million school-aged children have reported being a victim of bullying.
There are many different ways a child can be bullied. Bullying can range from simple name calling to physical altercations. Today cyber-bullying has grown in popularity. Children can experience bullying while online and their offenders often remain anonymous.

Greetings from the Henry County Planning and Zoning Office. I am Jody Rucker, Planning and Zoning Coordinator and Solid Waste Manager for Henry County I have been on the job about 9 months now. I will be writing a article about every 6 weeks in an effort to answer some questions regarding planning and zoning, solid waste ordinances, and other areas that our office is involved with. This article will be set up like a question and answer session. Our office and the Henry County Local will be reviewing questions/suggestions for future articles.
Even before the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was law, many Americans argued that the bill's requirement for everyone to have health insurance (also known as the individual mandate) was overreaching and even unconstitutional. Since then, this mandate has become the subject of numerous court cases across the country.
Last month, I joined more than 100 of my colleagues to sign an amicus brief in support of these challenges to the constitutionality of the health care law and urging the Supreme Court to consider this case.
When the General Assembly opens the 2012 Regular Session in early January, there is no doubt what the top issue will be: enacting the state's budget for the next two years. Redrawing state House, Senate and congressional districts, something done after each census, will likely be prominent as well, especially in the session's opening weeks.
Advances in computer and information technology are changing the way we live and work. While the private sector has set the pace using new technology to improve performance, government lags behind. The failure to adopt these best practices makes government agencies and programs less efficient in delivering service to Americans and less cost-effective for taxpayers.
Kentucky families and businesses plan and prioritize their spending by making and following a responsible budget. Congress is required to do the same by passing an annual budget, a blueprint for all federal spending.
While the House of Representatives passed a fiscally responsible budget on April 11, 2011, the Senate has not passed a budget since April 29, 2009, more than 900 days ago.
Not only is this fiscally irresponsible, it is a failure of leadership and a breakdown of one of the most basic functions of government.
My name is Gloris Southworth, and I would like to introduce you to my son, Scott Southworth, who is running for the office of Henry County jailer in the November election.
Scott is a life-long resident of Henry County. He chose to remain close to his roots and family throughout the years. You will find that he is a very hard-working, honest and dependable person. These traits date back to his teenage years when his dad, Lee, and I could depend on him to operate our businesses in New Castle during our absence.
Soon after our marriage in 1987, Lyndon mentioned that "Some day I would like to move back home to Henry County." Being a Lexington girl, reared in the suburbs, I thought to myself "Over my dead body we'll move 'back home to Henry County!' "
But, as fate would have it, in 1998 we came to Henry County. I immediately felt the loving welcome showered on me by all. I was comfortable from the beginning. Henry County felt like a warm and caring community in which to raise a family.
One of the many benefits of belonging to the Henry County Chamber of Commerce is having an outlet to let people know what your business does or if a new product or skill has been added.
Mike Paris of M&K Construction now is available to fix those cracks that seem to come in your basement walls. Instead of expensive companies who advertise fixing these, you can call Mike at 269-0013 for an estimate to cure your problem.
Kentucky families continue to work hard to make ends meet in an uncertain economy while unemployment remains unacceptably high. That is why one of my top priorities is advancing positive, commonsense economic policies that will help the private sector grow and hire. Congress made progress last week by passing trade agreements with Colombia, Panama and South Korea with broad bipartisan support.
Homestead Nursing Center wants to thank all the many volunteers, individuals and businesses who donated their time and prizes for our Fall Festival that was held on Oct. 14.
The Festival's success would not have been possible without them. Just as important we want to thank the community for coming out and supporting our residents through your purchases and participation.
Today I would like to talk about the state Tire Amnesty Program put on by the Kentucky Department of Waste Management.
The program began in the county in 1999 and continued every four years. The program is set up to accept and dispose of most tires, in an effort to eliminate unwanted tires from our streams, roadsides and other locations at no charge to the public. The program will be offered to Henry County residents Oct. 20-22 at the state road barn located on Kentucky-193, north of New Castle.
I confess to being a Facebook fan. While I don't spend a lot time on Facebook, I do find it an interesting place to visit. Recently, a friend posted the following: "If you didn't hear it with your own ears or see it with your own eyes, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth."

Tobacco Compliance and Enforcement
Tobacco Compliance and Enforcement is responsible for enforcing and monitoring compliance with the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement ("MSA") signed in 1998 by major tobacco companies and Attorneys General from 52 states and jurisdictions. In addition, the Bureau is responsible for the implementation and enforcement of numerous state laws and policies, such as the requirement that all cigarettes sold in New York be fire-safe. The Bureau also enforces certain federal laws relating to cigarettes, such as the Cigarette Contraband Trafficking Act and Jenkins Act.
The MSA was the result of the landmark litigation commenced by the State of New York, along with the other jurisdictions, against the five major tobacco manufacturers to redress the tobacco companies' illegal and deceptive marketing practices with respect to the promotion and sale of their tobacco products, particularly to minors, and the tobacco industry's concealment from the public the adverse health effects of smoking and the addictiveness of nicotine, and to recover health care costs associated with treating tobacco-related illnesses. Enforcement focuses on guaranteeing that the tobacco companies are not violating the prohibitions against advertising and/or marketing directed to young people, brand-name advertising, merchandising and sponsorships, and false and misleading advertising as well as ensuring compliance with the tobacco companies' monetary obligations under the MSA and New York's related laws.

What made you want to work for a newspaper?" a suitably curious would-be reporter asked during a presentation to an IPFW journalism class last month.
"Reading too many Superman comics as a kid," I answered.
But if what we enjoy as children influences what we do as adults, future career choices could be changed by something that happened just a few days later:
Clark Kent quit his job at the Daily Planet, the great metropolitan newspaper that hired him in the first issue of Superman Comics way back in 1939.
Kent, of course, is the Man of Steel's mild-mannered alter ego who sought a job at the Planet (it was the Daily Star at the time) so he would be in a position to know the latest news and fly to the rescue if it became a job for Superman. But today, when anyone with a smart phone has instant access to virtually limitless information from anywhere in the world, that notion seems hopelessly antique. So, perhaps inevitably, Kent will apparently write for the Internet – even if he's not quite sure how it will pay the bills.
"He's more likely to start the next Huffington Post or the next Drudge Report than he is to go find someone else to get assignments or draw a paycheck from," writer Scott Lobdell explained to USA Today.
But what makes this significant is not the evolution of technology – he was a TV reporter briefly during the 1970s — but by changes in journalism itself.
"I believed that journalism was an ideal . . . but facts have been replaced by opinions. Information has been replaced by entertainment. Reporters have become stenographers," he tells boss Morgan Edge in the latest issue before walking out. "I'm not the only one who believes . . . that we need to stand up for the truth. For justice. And yeah – I'm not ashamed to say – the American way."
Less than two years ago, Superman made news by threatening to renounce his American citizenship because "truth, justice and the American way – it's not enough anymore." But why quibble about inconsistencies in a make-believe world when his latest bit of art really does imitate life?
When I speak to groups these days, I urge them to get their news from a variety of sources precisely because so much coverage is biased in ways even discerning readers and viewers may not notice. I am often accused of being biased even though this and other columns are clearly labeled "opinion," but even factual reporting reflects bias when ideology determines which stories are reported and which are ignored.
Coverage of what the government did or did not do to prevent the deadly attack on the American diplomatic compound in Libya is only the latest example.
But it was Kent's description of reporters as stenographers that really caught my attention, because too much of what passes for journalism these days really is just the mindless copying and regurgitation of "facts" gleaned from meetings and handed out by self-promoting sources at press conferences and in news releases.
The thing I stress most of all to young journaliss is the need to anticipate the news, not simply react to it after the fact. Develop sources, be curious, give readers and viewers news that is not only fair, accurate, unique and interesting but whenever possible do it while they still have time to influence the outcome.
Just as even the best teachers cannot force unwilling students to learn, journalists cannot impose awareness on the indifferent. Less than a week before an election there are, sadly, people more interested in Lady Gaga than in the name of their City Council representative or the positions, background and character of the candidates for president.
Being businesses, "news" organizations cannot afford to ignore people more interested in being entertained than informed. But the First Amendment expects more than that from people who call themselves journalists: the determination to keep the public informed so that people can fulfill their obligations as citizens and voters, even when the people soliciting those votes object.
That takes more than desire; it requires enough people and money to do it right.
As a medium, the Internet is unsurpassed in its ability to deliver news. That's why newspapers and many other traditional media sources are struggling financial. But the Internet has not, yet, developed into a reliable platform with which to pay people to report the news. If it doesn't, what then?
Supermen who don't need food or shelter and own their own indestructible blue and red suits needn't care either way. The rest of us mere mortals should.

Google Earth…
Google SSL
Google SSL Search
With Google search over SSL, you can have an end-to-end encrypted search solution between your computer and Google. This secured channel helps protect your search terms and your search results pages from being intercepted by a third party. This provides you with a more secure and private search experience.
To use search over SSL, visit https://www.google.com each time you perform a search. Note that only Google web search is available over SSL, so other search products like Google Images and Google Maps are not currently available over SSL. When you're searching over SSL, these properties may not appear in the left panel.
What is SSL ?
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a protocol that helps provide secure Internet communications for services like web browsing, e-mail, instant messaging, and other data transfers. When you search over SSL, your search queries and search traffic are encrypted so they can't be read by any intermediary party such as employers and internet service providers (ISPs).
What can I expect from search over SSL ?
Here's how searching over SSL is different from regular Google search:
SSL encrypts the communication channel between Google and a searcher's computer. When search traffic is encrypted, it can't be read by third parties trying to access the connection between a searcher's computer and Google's servers. Note that the SSL protocol does have some limitations — more details are below.As another layer of privacy, SSL search turns off a browser's referrers . Web browsers typically turn off referrers when going from HTTPS to HTTP mode to provide extra privacy. By clicking on a search result that takes you to an HTTP site, you could disable any customizations that the website provides based on the referrer information. At this time, search over SSL is supported only on Google web search. We will continue to work to support other products like Images and Maps. All features that are not supported have been removed from the left panel and the row of links at the top. You'll continue to see integrated results like images and maps, and clicking those results will take you out of encrypted search mode. Your Google experience using SSL search might be slighly slower than you're used to because your computer needs to first establish a secure connection with Google.
Note that SSL search does not reduce the data that Google receives and logs when you search, or change the listing of these terms in your Web History .
Does SSL provide complete security ?
While SSL helps prevent intermediary parties, such as ISPs, from knowing the exact search that you typed, they could still know which websites you visit once you click on the search results. For example, when you search over SSL for [ flowers ], Google encrypts the query "flowers" and the results that Google returns. But when you click on a search result, including results like images and maps, you could be exiting the encrypted mode if the destination link is not on https://.
If your computer is infected with malware or a keylogger, a third party might still be able to see the queries that you typed. We recommend that everyone learns how to prevent and remove malware.Remember that only Google web search supports search over SSL, so searching Google Images, for example, will not be encrypted.
Technical discussion of SSL protocol-level limitations. While SSL is a clear privacy and security benefit, we are aware of some technical limitations to SSL at the protocol level that are not specific to Google's implementation:
A determined, skilled malicious party could potentially interpose himself into the network traffic and present a spoofed certificate to the user. In many cases, this will result in a certificate warning to the user. If you see a certificate warning, the protection may not hold. An adversary with the ability to install root certificates on the machine could potentially interpose himself into the network traffic without any warnings appearing. A highly capable source may be in a position to sign certificates with a standard, pre-installed certificate authority (CA), which again would allow intercept without any apparent warnings to the user. Even if all web searching occurs over SSL, a passive traffic listener may still be able to observe DNS look-ups.
How can I confirm whether I'm on a secure connection ?
Check to see that the URL you're on starts with https:// instead of http://. Most browsers provide a visual confirmation (such as an icon of a lock) in the address bar or in the status bar at the bottom of the page. On Google SSL search, you'll also see a special Google SSL logo with a lock icon. In addition to this logo, be sure to also check the https:// text in the address bar and any browser lock icons.
When you perform a search on https://www.google.com , you might see a warning if a page has some non-secure components: depending on your browser settings, you might see the lock icon turn into a warning sign, a pop-up message, or some other form of alert. This issue is often referred to as a "mixed mode error."
Since this is a beta feature, there might be some rare cases in search over SSL that generate a mixed mode error. We're working to prevent such errors, and you can help if you report any errors through our Help Forum.

The untold truth of The Little Couple
From the moment The Little Couple premiered on TLC in 2009, the show's stars Bill Klein and Jen Arnold have garnered millions of fans' hearts with their picture-perfect marriage and sweet family.
As the series' official description explains, Klein and Arnold "are just like your average couple — except for the fact that they're both under 4 feet tall! He stands at 4 feet and has a rare variation of a skeletal dysplasia called Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia (or SED) and has had more than 20 surgeries. She stands at just 3 foot 2 has a similar, and also rare type of dwarfism called Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Type Strudwick, has had more than 30 surgeries — and yet this too is not what makes this couple unique."
The Little Couple documents all of their hardships and successes, as well as the adventures of their two adorable children, Will and Zoey, and is an undeniable smash hit. But there's more to this show than meets the eye.

How we fight poverty: our goals and values
The injustice of poverty demands a powerful and practical response to address both its causes and its impact on peoples' lives.
Our goals
Using a six-sided strategy to weave together the complex web of our efforts and joining with others, we seek to overcome poverty.
When people have the power to claim their basic human rights, they can escape poverty – permanently. This core belief underpins our development programs in more than 90 countries. With our partners, allies and with local communities, we help people to claim rights for themselves.
Human development is driven by empowered women. But women and girls are still massively under represented and often oppressed. We work to help them speak out and demand justice, and to assert their leadership.
The right to gender justice underpins all of our work.
When disaster strikes, we are there. We help people caught up in natural disasters and conflict. We typically provide clean water, food and sanitation in disaster zones. As far as we can, we strive to ensure that civilians are protected too. We also seek to reduce the risk to poor people of future disasters by continuing to work with them long after the immediate crisis is over.
Natural resources are vital for prosperity and poor people are often not getting their fair share. This situation is worsened by the impacts of climate change that the international community is failing to address properly. We lobby governments, international organizations and corporations for fairer land policies and action on climate change.
To stop people going hungry, we work to secure global food supplies so that people always have enough to eat.
Already, almost a billion of us go to bed hungry every night. Not because there isn't enough. But because of the deep injustice in the way the food system works. We can GROW in a better way – one that contributes much more to human wellbeing.
Being able to access basic services such as health and education is essential to people's well-being and to human development. We push to secure adequate financial flows to sustain basic services for poor people.
Our values
As we strive to achieve the six goals (listed above), we will lead by example in demonstrating the same values that we wish to see in the people we work with and those we aim to influence.
Our approach means that everyone involved with Oxfam, from our staff and supporters to people living in poverty, should feel they can make change happen.
Our purpose-driven, results-focused approach means we take responsibility for our actions and hold ourselves accountable. We believe that others should also be held accountable for their actions.
We are open to everyone and embrace diversity. We believe everyone has a contribution to make, regardless of visible and invisible differences.
