YJIL Symposium – From Paradox to Subsidiarity: The United States and Human Rights Treaty Bodies
[Ed. This is a slightly different, updated version than the one posted earlier today.] Let me begin by thanking Opinio Juris and the editors of the Yale Journal of International Law for hosting this online symposium, and especially Professor Elena Baylis for her willingness to provide comments on my recent article, From Paradox to Subsidiarity: The United States and Human Rights Treaty Bodies.
This article seeks to take a closer, more searching look at what has frequently been called the "U.S. human rights paradox"—the United States' longstanding practice of resisting direct domestic application of human rights treaty norms, even as it vigorously promotes those norms and their corresponding supervisory machinery for other nations (and understands human rights to stand at the core of its national identity). While most scholarly accounts attribute this "paradox" to deeply-embedded exceptional features of U.S. democratic structure or rights culture (and hence predict it unlikely to change anytime soon), the inability of exceptionalist narrative to credibly account for the significant empirical changes that have occurred in U.S. human rights engagement policy over the last fifteen years, raises serious questions about that narrative's continuing utility. Such changes in U.S. human rights policy include not only a notable rise in human rights treaty ratifications—ratifications reliably shunned for forty years—but also, and in accelerated fashion since 2003, a qualitatively more robust policy of U.S. engagement with the international human rights treaty bodies charged with supervising U.S. compliance with its treaty-based human rights commitments. Notably, this latter shift has become most sustained precisely when least expected: in the post-Iraq invasion, Bush-era environment, when perceptions of U.S. unilateralism and go-it-alone exceptionalism (both at home and abroad) were at their peak.
In an effort to better explain the often asymmetrical shape and growth patterns of U.S. human rights engagement policy, I offer a new narrative based in interest group management. That narrative emphasizes a disaggregated analysis that looks at the interest intersections and competing push-pull agendas of four distinct instrumental interest groups, each seeking alternatively greater or lesser substantive and procedural engagement with human rights treaty bodies, in accordance with their group-specific policy interests. These include "realists" and "institutionalists" at the foreign policy level (the latter pushing for greater U.S. engagement, the former pushing away from it) and groups I call "insulationists" and "incorporationists" at the domestic policy level (the former seeking to insulate domestic politics from the methodological influence of human rights law, the latter seeking to incorporate human rights norms and methodologies into U.S. law and practice). The evolving shape of U.S. human rights engagement policy, I argue, is determined at the shifting intersection points of these four interest groups, as they are accommodated within and managed through a core set of doctrinally-anchored mediating techniques that define the parameters of U.S. engagement practice. These mediating techniques, used today to justify U.S. positions in virtually all treaty body fora, are reliably and reliedly drawn from two longstanding and foundational doctrines of international law: the doctrine of sovereignty and, most significantly, the principle of subsidiarity. Although both are today invoked only in their negative dimensions, each provides ample room for policy maneuver if used in their full dimensionality.
My central claim is that a fuller understanding of U.S. engagement policy's basis in these doctrinally-anchored mediating techniques, and how their flexible contours are strategically manipulated to steer a middle course through the competing interests of U.S. realists, institutionalists, insulationists, and incorporationists, reveals that the "U.S. human rights paradox" may not in fact be so paradoxical. To the contrary, that paradox may be entirely explainable, at least in its modern era, by reference to how these four interest groups articulate their interests in ways that can effectively be accommodated by U.S. sovereignty and subsidiarity-based mediating techniques. As I seek to show through an examination of the specific ways the U.S. engages with the three principal competences exercised by UN, OAS, and ILO supervisory treaty body systems, U.S. human rights engagement policy today maps directly to the policy coordinates at which the interests of three of these groups intersect. These groups include foreign-policy realists, foreign-policy institutionalists, and domestic-policy insulationists.. Notably absent in this calculation are domestic-policy incorporationists.
That is, the U.S. pursues a policy of active institutional engagement with treaty bodies in all substantive areas of treaty body concern (accommodating institutionalists), while pulling back only in a very limited set of "no go zones" (accommodating realists). These "no go zones" are justified on the basis of an important set of sovereignty-based mediating techniques that, drawing on sovereignty's negative dimensions, emphasize the limits of U.S. consent to treaty body competence. At the same time, to accommodate the inevitable push-pull tensions between foreign-policy institutionalists (pushing for greater engagement) and domestic-policy insulationists (pulling away from it), the U.S. employs a set of subsidiarity-based mediating techniques. These techniques draw from subsidiarity's negative dimension to insist upon international deference to U.S. domestic political process. They include such standard procedures as the attachment of non-self execution declarations and other RUDs to treaty ratifications, a preference for promotion to contentious international jurisdictions, emphasis on prior domestic exhaustion and other standard admissibility thresholds, as well as repeated policy insistence on the non-binding (recommendatory) nature of all treaty body pronouncements, whether of a promotional or contentious nature.
An interest mediation perspective suggests that this exclusion of incorporationist interest is not a consequence of any U.S. predisposition against human rights incorporation. Rather, it is a direct consequence of the failure of U.S. incorporationists to speak a policy language that can be discerned and hence accommodated within U.S. mediating techniques—techniques, it should be noted, that are likewise used by most other countries in their own engagement policies. An interest management perspective thus reveals why U.S. incorporationists have had so little success in having their interests actively accommodated in U.S. human rights policy. That explanation resides not only in incorporationists' relative lack of an organized national engagement strategy but, even more importantly, in the nature of the advocacy strategies chosen in pursuit of their incorporationist agenda. Those strategies have tended to be based not on an instrumental embrace of U.S. mediating techniques—as have those of realists, institutionalists, and insulationists—but rather on an often aggressive rejection of their very legal validity. U.S. incorporationist campaigns have thus tended to center on vigorously rejected the subsidiarity-based use of RUDs (particularly non-self-execution declarations), the idea that treaty body pronouncements are non-binding in nature, and sovereignty-based "no go" zones, insisting that such postures represent U.S. breaches of international human rights law and treaty commitments. Because U.S. human rights policy has been based precisely on use of these doctrinally-anchored positions as a way to promote active U.S. engagement with human rights treaty bodies and to comply with international commitments (while also attending to domestic political pressures), such arguments are easily dismissed and ignored. The result of this communicative disconnect has been a regular sidelining of incorporationist interests from U.S. engagement policy, which cannot accommodate such arguments into its mediated posture.
To the extent incorporationists wish to have their interests actively taken into account in U.S. human rights policy, an interest mediation perspective reveals, then, that they must fundamentally shift their thinking and strategy. That shift is one which draws from the insights of an interest-mediation perspective to transform the current U.S. engagement emphasis on the negative dimension of the subsidiarity principle from its current use as a policy shield into a policy sword. This will require a reframing of incorporationist arguments to align with (rather than against) U.S. mediating techniques. The major challenge for domestic advocates, I argue, is not then to reject the negative dimensions of sovereignty and subsidiarity doctrine (as is the tendency today), dimensions which are core to both U.S. interest-management techniques and the integrity of international human rights law, but rather to firmly embrace them as central elements of incorporationist strategy, while likewise finding new ways of working flexibly and effectively within the subsidiarity paradigm to institutionalize a framework for respecting the positive half. That is, the tools of the subsidiarity principle must not be permitted to be used only defensively by U.S. actors to shield domestic legislative and judicial processes from international intervention. They must also be used offensively to routinize, within the bounds of U.S. federalism and democracy, an internal process of domestic self-reflection and localized democratic deliberation on how we, in our own local communities, wish to protect internationally recognized human rights to best ensure the dignity of the human person.
In this latter respect, I lay out a set of national level institutional mechanisms designed to ensure that monitoring and supervisory processes are established and routinized at the domestic level to resolve human rights complaints locally and to ensure that these are operating effectively and reliably. In this way, advocates may ensure that U.S. engagement policy is directed not only outward, toward an international audience, but, just as critically, inward to our own domestic constituencies. It is this vital shift in U.S. human rights policy—from partial subsidiarity (paradox) to genuine subsidiarity—that is the central focus of this Article.

Charcoal has long been used in skin care treatments, thanks to its chemical properties that allow the substances to draw out impurities. It chemically binds other substances to its surface and can absorb thousands of times its own weight, making it perfect for use in cleansers and masks that work by purifiying the skin. Biore's cleansing facial wash works by drawing out impurities from the skin and trapping them within the tiny charcoal fragments, allowing them to be washed away and leave skin feeling refreshed. Although it doesn't lather too much, if you work it with water between your palms does create a super light foam which you can use to massage into the skin. There's an invigorating slightly minty scent, it doen't feel heavy on the skin and there's no drying or stripping sensation; it's great for all skin types and perfect for keeping spot prone skin free from impurities.
The One-Minute Mask is packed in handy individual sachets that contain the perfect amount for a full-face application. As you apply the grey formula is starts to heat up using an exothermic reaction - its ingredients react with your skin to create heat energy, which aids the absorption and effectiveness of the formula. Again, it contains the benefit of charcoal to draw out impurities and leave skin feeling refreshed without drying it out; the last thing you need it to pile on a tonne of moisturiser to replenish lost hydration following a treatment. These are both handy products which are pleasant to use and add a touch more cleansing care to a standard skincare routine; they're not 'teenage' branded or aimed specifically at acne prone skin, so they slip into any age bracket and need with ease. Affordable, effective and a little bit nostalgic too.
The Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser is available for £4.99, the Cleansing Pore Strips are £7.99 for a pack of six and the Self-Heating One Minute Mask is £7.99 for a pack of four. All available from Boots and online.

After a series of catastrophic misunderstandings and impulsively poor decision-making, Scarlett MacGregor finds herself once again torn between two loves, as different as they may be. Lacking proper closure with their relationship, accompanied by the overwhelming guilt for her role in his devastating downfall, Scarlett resolves to help Mason recover and reclaim his life as a budding rock star. However, now that he has finally claimed her as his, Ash Walker is bound and determined to keep her by his side, and he will go to any lengths necessary to do just that.
Mason Templeton has hit rock bottom. He's in love with a girl whose heart and soul belong to another and he's partied his way off of an international music tour that was supposed to be his big break. Returning home for rehab sounds like the worst possible way to start a new year, but when an unexpected friendship emerges, he begins to realize that maybe everything does happen for a reason.
Euphoria is the third and final installment of Scarlett, Ash, and Mason's self-discovering journeys to happiness and understanding the meaning of true love ~ the kind that begs for complete surrender
Recommended for readers 17+ due to sexual content and harsh language.
Embracing her one last time, I whispered in her ear, "I love you, butterfly… 'your curves
and all your edges, and all your perfect imperfections.' I'll see you tomorrow night."
"I love you, too, Ash. 'You're my end and my beginning; even when I lose, I'm winning,'"
she whispered back. Then she grabbed her bag and headed for the security check point. Right
before turning the corner where I couldn't see her anymore, she looked back at me and blew me
a kiss and made hand hearts. Damn, she was beautiful. I stood there for several minutes with a
goofy ass grin on my face. I wasn't expecting her to sing the next lyrics of the song to me, but it
filled me with an indescribable feeling of warmth and love. ~Ash
The perfect ending with just the right amount of angst and emotions.
I love this series so much it is unhealthy. I have been sad knowing the ending was coming, but feel that my need for this book as been fulfilled now that I have read it. I have closure. Now, let me say that we need another book with an alternate ending where Scar gets the other guy, lol. Seriously, the entire duration of this series I have never been able to decide and even though the end has decided for me, I still couldn't agree, lol.
If you have followed along with the story of Scarlet, Asher and Mason this book is a must read. If you haven't read the series then you need to! There are so many bumps and twists and turns and never ending angst and turmoil. You can never be too sure what will happen when reading this series.
Bravo on a job well done with the ending Erin. Now please, kill me again. I need another book for you and that wonderful brain of yours.

November 11, 2008 | Schoolchildren, families, and citizen scientists around the world gazed skyward after dark from October 20 to November 3 as part of the second Great World Wide Star Count. Their objective was to find specific constellations and then share their observations online. The data they collect helps scientists map light pollution globally, while educating participants about the stars. Approximately 12,471 individuals participated in the count this year, submitting 3,378 observations from all 50 U.S. states and 60 different countries.
The event, which was free and open to anyone, was organized by EO's Windows to the Universe project in conjunction with planetariums and scientific societies across the country and abroad.
UCAR will use the observations to generate maps of star visibility across the United States and around the world. Last year's results showed, as one might expect, a strong correlation between development and a lack of night sky visibility.

Whether you're staying awake for studying or something a bit more exciting, you probably drink more than your fair share of caffeine packed energy drinks and coffee. Here, learn about the pros and cons of staying-awake aids.

If you're pulling an all-nighter, you'll probably need some help. Here, the good, the bad, and the ugly of the stay-awake aids. The most common sleep fighting agent amongst college students is caffeine, which is the stimulating ingredient in coffee, tea, and soft drinks. Though some use ephedrine, the active ingredient found in over-the-counter allergy and cold medication, like Sudafed or Mucinex.According to the National Coffee Association, college students are now drinking more caffeine than ever-about 3.2 cups each daily, up from 2.1 in 2005. Meanwhile, some students prefer to get their caffeine rush faster, in the form of over-the-counter pills like NoDoze and Vivarin. Most of these tablets contain about 200 milligrams of caffeine, which is comparable to two cups of coffee. Both caffeine pills and direct caffeine intake are fairly harmless ways to stay awake, according to the FDA. Remember though, that caffeine may make you jittery and distracted, side effects that can defeat the purpose of staying awake to study in the first place. Additionally, caffeine can be addictive, so you can suffer headaches and other withdrawal symptoms if you stop using it. While caffeine is generally safe, some energy drinks, like Wired, contain as much as 500 milligrams of the stimulant. That's the equivalent of five cups of coffee in one fell swoop, a dose that may make doing schoolwork more difficult. Still, if you're sticking with caffeine, you're better off than the 14% of your peers who rely on prescription ADHD medication, like Adderall or Ritalin, to stay awake, according to a 2004 University of Wisconsin study.* These stimulating drugs are often used illegally by college students to increase concentration and ward off sleep. While ADHD meds may work in the short-term, if used incorrectly, they can sometimes come with some dangerous side effects, including fainting and seizures. Plus, drugs like Ritalin are addictive, and users may start to desire them even when all-nighters aren't necessary. But no matter your stay-awake aid, you're probably better off letting yourself actually sleep, says a recent study at Saint Lawrence University. There, researchers found that students who avoided staying up all night had better GPAs than those who relied on not sleeping pre-exam. So think ahead, and plan your schedule so that you can crawl under the covers and get yourself some much deserved rest when you're in crunch time!More »

Sleep deprivation is all too common on your average campus, but does being sleep deprived really hurt you? Surprisingly, the answer is yes. Suffering from insomnia in college can lead to reduced concentration and impair your studying efforts.
Transcript: There's a reason that sleep deprivation is used as a form of torture-it's killer on your body. In fact,...
There's a reason that sleep deprivation is used as a form of torture-it's killer on your body. In fact, if you miss enough sleep, it can cause you to drive as erratically as someone who has a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher. In other words, missing too much sleep can impair you in much the same way that being intoxicated can. Multiple studies have documented the negative effects that lack of sleep has on brain function. Just one night of missed sleep can significantly dull the centers of your brain responsible for memory, concentration, and language... -meaning that your all night study session might have done more harm than good. And if you continually skimp on sleep, you may experience memory loss, a decreased desire for sex, and reduced tolerance for alcohol. In the end, you'll definitely gain more by catching some zzzs than you will by cramming all night. It's important to be mindful of the impact on all-nighter can have on your body and mind.More »

Insomnia on Campus »

Having trouble sleeping regularly? So are most of your peers-77% of them, according to the National Sleep Foundation. Insomnia is a serious issue amongst young people. In fact, the National Sleep Foundation found that college students are the demographic most affected by insomnia. This broad-based term simply means the inability to fall asleep, or to remain asleep, for an adequate length of time. Put most of the blame on the varying sleep schedules you keep on the weekends versus the weeknights. Technically, your body sleeps best when you go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, which is why college insomnia is worst on Sunday, the "catch-up" night. For the same reason, Wednesday night tends to be the best night for sound sleep across campus. School and socials stressors also take some of the blame for college insomnia, since most students have trouble separating sleep time from worry time. Whatever the reason, a repeat lack of sleep does nothing to bolster your everyday performance and mood, and can wear down your immune system. College insomniacs in the NSF study reported feeling generally irritable, angry, and foggy as they went about their days. They also experienced poor performance in class, a weakened sex drive, and/or an increase in colds, flu, and mono. As such, it's little wonder that many college insomniacs also deal with a depression or anxiety disorder. The good news is that even though insomnia is prevalent on campus, there are treatments that can help. So make an appointment at your campus health center to discuss ways you can start sleeping soundly.More »

The Power of the Blonde

Women Men and Cheating in the Digital World
Most women today are well groomed. They are carefully made up, well-dressed, smell good, and look attractive, at least on the outside. Modern science and technology, along with the progress of the beauty industry, have allowed for this trend to happen. This is exactly why many married men double cross their wives. The marriage contract is outdated and irrelevant to our trendy and dynamic lifestyles. In the past, lifestyles were slower paced with less exposure to beautiful women outside home. Today is a different story. Many women look much younger than their biological age, thanks to cosmetics, facial treatments, and plastic surgeries. Many women also look more beautiful and attractive to men than they naturally are thanks to the makeup, the hair, and the fashion industries. And men are surrounded by women all the time. Many of those women are young, beautiful, smart, ambitious, and can also compete with men on equal grounds. This has certainly increased the level of friction between the genders and the accessibility to sex away from home. More in Beasts of Prey: The Hard Truth about Men

A Novel Fact
I absolutely love cartoons, especially historic ones. In such a case we get even more powerful humor. That of the era the cartoon was originally created at and the new era. It's funny to look at cartoons in retrospect.
The cartoon on your left is accompanied by the following text:
Old fashioned party (with old fashioned prejudices):
"Ah! Very clever. I dare say. But I see it's written by a lady. And I want a book that my daughters may read. Give me something else!" Isn't it lovely?

Misadventures in Misogyny: Bloomerism | Bitch Magazine
Just stumbled upon excellent Victorian misogynistic cartoons by John Leech. Evidently this guy hated women, especially in bloomers. While this is humorous now, it was sarcastic back in 1841, where despotic upper-class white men, either aristocratic or "self made" enjoyed exploiting women and treating them as second best.
Of course, they covered it all up elegantly by courteous gentlemanly gestures and polite talk. This period was overwhelmingly prudish and hypocritical at the same time. Thinking of it, how could they accept women in bloomers if covering the tables' legs was the norm?

One is not born a woman but becomes one
In her seminal work "The second sex", De Beauvoir criticizes the "destiny traditionally offered to women by society" through socialization into "feminine gender roles" which made women focus on their looks rather than on education, career, or fulfillment of personal goals.
Despite the fact that we're a couple of decades ahead, we can't be blind to the fact that women are still expected to compromise on their careers and self aspirations for the sake of others.
One example: some women are still expected to take their husband's last names rather than keep their own names after the wedding. And once the kids are born, the kids are given their father's surnames not their mother's. Although the name issue might seem minor, it is definitely symbolic.

Salvador Dali - Sleep 1937
Dali's "Sleep" of 1937 deals with a Freudian theme of the world of dreams that has fascinated the Surrealists who believed that the freedom of the subconscious within sleep could be tapped into and then realized creatively in their art. This painting is an attempt to duplicate the dream world into canvas.
"Sleep" is virtually a visual rendering of the body's collapse into sleep, as if it was a collapse into a separate condition of being. Against a deep blue summer sky, a huge disembodied head with eyes dissolved in sleep, hangs suspended over an almost bare landscape. The head is "soft", vulnerable and distorted. And what should be a neck tapers away to drop limply over a crutch. A dog appears on the left, its head in a crutch too, as if half asleep itself.
The head is supported above land by a series of wooden crutches. The mouth, nose and also eyes are all held in place by the crutches, suggesting that the head might collapse if they were removed. Crutches are a familiar motif in Dali's works. As Dali attests in his book, The Secret Life of Salvador Dali, "I have often imagined the monster of sleep as a heavy, giant head with a tapering body held up by the crutches of reality. When the crutches break we have the sensation of falling."
Analysis: some aesthetic principles of "good design" applied in this painting:
1. Hierarchy - the center of painting, the most important figure is the huge sleeping head supported by the crutches. It is the most significant part of the message that deals with subconscious (of the head) and its dreams.
2. Emphasis and focus - is put visually on the sleeping head by magnifying it to a gigantic size, positioning it in the center, and coloring it in light yellowish colors contrasted with the light blue sky.
3. Contrast – the colors (light yellow Vs. blue) are contrasted to accentuate the head as the main figure. In addition, the head's size is contrasted to the real world's size represented by the dog figure on the left, and the castle far away, on the right. The magnification of the head and its distortion help to focus the viewer's eyes on the head in a dramatic scenery.
4. Tension- is created between the dripping part of the head on the right, and the facial features on the left. The right side may allude to male sexuality that might be dormant during sleep. Another tension might relate to the pain caused by the crutches on the face, another Freudian issue.
5. Balance - is a prominent element. The heavy sleepy head is supported by several crutches that are much lighter in weight than the head; suggesting that if they fall, the head might crash. As it might be easy to fall asleep, however the wakefulness and reality are much stronger.
6. Rhythm - is created by using several crutches rather than one to support the parts of the face. The crutches' positioning in the painting is balanced and harmonic--suggesting continuity between the dream (represented by the sleepy head) and the reality (represented by the crutches.)
7. Flow – the viewer's eyes are led on the head to the parts held by the crutches, i.e., eyes, nose, lips, chin, and dripping neck. Then, the viewer notices one unused crutch, a castle in perspective, and the dog on the left-- all of which are meant to capture attention to the head itself.
8. Depth – is created using perspective. The head in the front, while the faraway castle on the right, and the dog on the left create a 3D like positioning, emphasizing the head in the center.
9. Scale – an illusion of size is created by magnifying the head and positioning it in contrast to the castle and the dog. In addition, the head is distorted to focus the viewer's attention on its prominence in the painting.
10. Movement - is created from the head parts on the left toward the dripping neck on the right. This might have an emotional effect on the viewer, even a subconscious one.
11. Unity – a consistent style of imagery is used. The central part is magnified and distorted. The crutches balance the parts coherently, and the other figures in perspective add in harmoniously to create an overall impression of the painting as unite.

Converse Trainers: Cheap Converse All Star SneakersFilter Products
Sorry, no products matched your search.
If ever a brand knew how to reinvent itself it must surely be Converse. The iconic Converse All Star trainer has been around since 1908 but it really started to make its mark in the basketball world with the arrival of Chuck Taylor in the 1920's. The 40's and 50's saw the high top Converse sneaker become a fashion statement for the age of rock & roll and, by the 1980's and 1990's, Converse was back on the basketball courts with a vengeance! Since the beginning of the 21st century, Converse has become a fashion statement all over again! As many designer trainers strive to embrace more sci-fi styling, Converse has retained its essential, original character. The Converse no-nonsense approach is typified in their descriptions of the trainers: simply Converse All Star Lo Junior, Converse All Star Lo Senior, Converse All Star Hi Junior and Converse All Star Hi Senior. Express Trainers now give you the chance to buy these amazing retro style trainers with masses of 2010 street cred!

The M24 is a 7.62x51mm bolt action rifle designed for soft targets.
Despite using the same ammunition and having the same stats of the DMR, this weapon is much more accurate, featuring a single zoom zero-able scope. It can hit targets dead-on at the center of the reticule with the right distance and zeroing. The scope can be adjusted with the Page Up and Page Down keys with the default mapping up to 800m in 100m increments, though it is possible to hit a target beyond that threshold using the mil-dots. It only has one level of zoom, but it's equivalent to the DMR's second level of zoom. As a downside, being a bolt action makes the fire rate suffer and the the low magazine capacity of this weapon makes the DMR the superior weapon due to its versatility.
The M24's magazine holds 5 rounds, and 4 5Rnd. M24 can be converted to one DMR Mag. and vice-versa, allowing larger quantities of ammo to be carried. In order to load the weapon you must have at least one 5Rnd. M24 ammo in your inventory.
The weapon's scope reticle can also serve as an improvised rangefinder to estimate the distance to the target.
At zoom level 2, a standing 1.8m target will be:
- 1000m: 2.00 mil-dots
- 900m: 2.22 mil-dots
- 800m: 2.50 mil-dots
- 700m: 2.86 mil-dots
- 600m: 3.33 mil-dots
- 500m: 4.00 mil-dots
- 400m: 5.00 mil-dots
- 300m: 6.67 mil-dots
- 200m: 10.00 mil-dots
You can convert 1 DMR Magazine into 4 clips of ammo for the M24.
My favorite Sniper Rifle
I love this gun, favorite sniper. It's not as loud as the two .50 cal rifles and it still does a really good amount of damage (one shot is a knock-out). It's also ridiculously accurate, so pulling off a headshot at long ranges is easy, if you have to take out a bandit. The ammo is common, but the gun itself is not, so when I find myself with one of these babies I do anything I can to not die.
Being a lone wolf and a friendly player - I love this gun, love how the DMR clips covert so just having one M27 and 1 DMR is a blessing when carrying 2 primaries, I have saved many players from a distance from Zeds and them not evening knowing where I am - Many chances of head-shots on peeps but again I like to play the game as it was meant to be - Survival and not Free4All - Having the m4a3 cco and 9m sd makes my game-play work very well - Tree stands have all my ammo :)
Probably one of the best snipers in DayZ. The audible range is far less then any of the .50 cal weapons and is also extremely accurate. Ammo is very common as a DMR mag can give you 20 rounds for the m24 once you convert the DMR mag.
Fave sniper (ignoring AS50, it's really a class of its own!) Versatile in not sticking out like a sore thumb from a tree. Ammo can be attained by downgrading DMR mags (also can compact store ammo in DMR form) Shooting wise it's recoil is low-ish and you can judge how to correct yourself on the next shot. I prefer this to its DMR relative.
The best thing about this gun is the conversion of DMR mags into 4 m24 mags. Very useful for carrying ammo, which is in turn plentiful.
Me and my freind found this gun at the firestation at electro and i love it i have 15 kills so far because i had over watch on my friend i LOVE THIS GUN more than an as50 or m107 x)
Got my hands on one the other day, my first sniper experience in DayZ as I started playing just a few days ago. Went to do some shooting practice vs zombies at between 200 and 700 meters and it worked wonders. Was able to achieve 5 headshots in a row on 300-400 meters and I think that is pretty decent. So the gun is truly accurate and I LOVE IT!
Extremely reliable gun. Due to the AS50 and M107 being removed this is arguably the best sniper in the game. I found it in the NWAF hangers.
Aside the bonuses (accuracy, common ammo) the big drawback of this rifle is the long scope because it extremely narrows your situational awareness. Pretty good for stationary targets but if the target is moving you'll have a hard time tracking it. This is the ideal weapon of a sniper team where a spotter can keep an eye on what's happening.
The M24 is one of my Favorite Snipers ( DMR For the Win) The As50 is too Over Powered! i Play with it 2 Times it's too easy to kill People Its an 1 hit Wep

These are awesome! Grandsons in Navy and Army will hand in my car. Gave the Marine one to a Uncle and he is wearing his
- February 3, 2017
I love my St Michael Military Medallion! It's the perfect size, the quality is the best. Usually I'm very hard on necklaces & they change colors fast. Not this one! Now I have something That reminds me of my love all oh the time. TY for bringing him closer to me!
- December 31, 2016
Purchased one for myself & one as a Gift. FABULOUS! Solid,Nicely Proportioned w Clear Designs. Sturdy Chain falls exactly as Pictured. GREAT value!! Suitable for Female or Male. Also Love that my Purchase Funded Bowls of Food!
- December 22, 2015
I bought this to replace one I had lost after I left the military. Very nice item, great quality, and a comfortable chain length.
- November 15, 2015
Very nice medallion. My son is Army National Guard and was very pleased with his gift!
- August 6, 2015
I love this. My dad was a World War II Navy veteran who passed away a couple of years ago. I ordered this Medallion and wear it almost everyday. A wonderful reminder of the memory of my father. I liked it so much I ordered one for a friend whose husband, also a World War II Navy vet, passed away recently. She put it on immediately and was very grateful to have this reminder.
- August 5, 2015
I got this medal for myself and found I was helping veterans at the same time -- a win win for sure. As others have written the medal is the ideal size and weight and perfectly formed. I received my order within a couple of days and was delighted with the product. The only inconvenience I have found is the chain has no clasp. The 24" is perfect for where the medal hangs, it's just my fat head makes it a bit of a close fit going over my head. Great product, highly recommend it for you or a loved one.
- May 30, 2015
This is a beautiful medallion! I am very happy with the size and quality of the item. I bought the Marine medallion for my neighbor's son who will be inducted into the Marine Corp in September. I am sure he will love it.

EATONVILLE — One building is up and another is on the way at Shadow Cove Retirement Community, a 184-unit condominium complex for senior citizens on West Kennedy Boulevard.
Developer Charles Thomas said Shadow Cove units will be sold only to people 55 years and older for $80,000 to $130,000. Sales are expected to start later this year, he said Wednesday in his office at the site on Lake Shadow.

DOWNEY - If Tesla Motors can reach agreement on a lease deal, the electric vehicle manufacturer plans to lease 51 acres at the former NASA property, "more than likely" spelling the end of Downey Studios, according to a city of Downey staff report.The Planning Commission on Wednesday unanimously approved an application submitted by Industrial Realty Group seeking to subdivide the land in order to accommodate Tesla's much-publicized manufacturing and assembly plant. IRG owns about 57 acres of the 77-acre property. The city of Downey owns the remaining 20 acres and leases it to IRG. Tesla would use 51 acres (or about 2.2 million square feet), including 46.45 acres on IRG-controlled land, according to a staff report. It will occupy Buildings 1, 6 and 290, which were used by NASA until Boeing closed the site in 1998. The buildings were placed on the National Register for Historic Places in 2001 and any alterations to the structures must adhere to an agreement previously reached between the city and NASA "designed to mitigate impacts on historic resources at the site." Thomas Messmer, a vice president with IRG, told the Planning Commisson on Wednesday that negotiations on a lease with Tesla "are ongoing." "We're putting this in your hands now," commission member Terry Lambrose told Messmer after the 4-0 vote. "You have a big job." If Tesla and IRG agree on a lease, Downey Studios would probably close, city officials said. "[With] Tesla Motors leasing the lion's share of the studio site, Downey Studios will more than likely shutter their operations," Brian Saeki, community development director for the city, wrote in a report. "Closing the studios will in turn open up Parcel 3 [approximately 14 1/2 acres] for redevelopment." The Downey Landing Specific Plan calls for a "commerce center" on those 14 1/2 acres. "Moreover, the specific plan envisioned the Commerce Center as a business park developed in a 'garden office' setting with small groups of buildings clustered around open spaces, rather than a series of isolated structures," Saeki wrote. "The plan also indicated that each building will house some combination of light manufacturing and/or office use." Tesla officials have not publicly announced their intentions to open a manufacturing plant in Downey.

Hansbrough an Historic Heel
Dec. 18, 2008
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - Reigning national player of the year Tyler Hansbrough has broken the career scoring record at North Carolina.
The 6-foot-9 senior needed nine points in the top-ranked Tar Heels' game against Evansville on Thursday night to pass Phil Ford for the record. He tied Ford on a jumper from the left wing with 14:05 left, then set the mark by banking in a turnaround shot with 7:41 left in the first half.
After the record-setting point, officials briefly stopped the game to allow Ford, coach Roy Williams and athletics director Dick Baddour to present Hansbrough with the game ball.
Ford finished his career in 1978 with 2,290 points.

You may be stuck turning pages in a packed subway car rather than lounging poolside, yet a good read offers a quick escape from reality-harsh air conditioning and looming deadlines. We asked InStyle's staff to divulge what's on their must-read list for this summer, and received some surprising results.
Many strayed from the standard fluffy beach reading, opting instead for topics varying from advice to cooking, such as Anthony Bourdain's account of his food-scouring travels. Unsurprisingly, three staffers proposed the newly released The Vacationers, The New York Times bestseller about a family vacation to Mallorca wrought with dysfunction. No matter what you're in the mood for, we've got you covered.

When President Obama signs legislation that's being called the most sweeping set of reforms to hit the financial industry since the 1930s, some very prominent bankers will not be present.
Politico's "Morning Money" reported yesterday that the Obama administration did not extend invitations to JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon and Goldman Sachs chief Lloyd Blankfein for the Dodd-Frank bill signing ceremony today in Washington D.C. Industry sources told Politico that they found the decision "bizarre."
Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit will be among the 400 or so invitees, the Washington Post notes, as will Cam Fine, the head of the Independent Community Bankers of America. The paper also notes that Wells Fargo's John Stumpf and Morgan Stanley's James Gorman didn't make the invite list. (Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan was invited, but will not be able to attend.)
As for the logic behind keeping Wall Street's most powerful leaders from a ceremony celebrating rules that are meant to the rein the industry's worst excesses, one Obama aide explained it this way to the Washington Post:
"If you were part of an effort to spend millions of dollars opposing the legislation, you were not at the top of our list for an invitation," deadpanned Jen Psaki, the deputy communications director for the White House.
In remarks today, President Obama is expected to highlight the new safeguards offered by the soon-to-be-created Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Attending the ceremony, the WashPost adds, will be a seventh-grade teacher who saw her credit card rates double even though she didn't miss any payments.
What do you think? Did the Obama administration make the right decision in excluding big bank CEOs from the signing ceremony?

In April, Heidi and her buds here at the DSL worksite did a lot of fun things!
We went to the movie theater and saw this neat movie about African chimps. The movie was about a chimp who lost his mother and a male chimp adopted him and took care of him. We chomped on yummy popcorn with yummy butter on it. We had a great time!
When the weather got a bit warmer, we all went outside and made bird feeders. This was a really fun and messy activity. We took gooey peanut butter and spread it on selected pine cones and put bird seed on it. We can see some of the birds come and eat the seeds every now and then.
We also had volunteers come from the state of Michigan. They were really nice gals and they helped us dye Easter eggs. We munched rice crispie treats with them.
We also had a yummy lunch for Easter and had spaghetti, salad, and delicious garlic bread! After we were all full, we had a great Easter egg hunt!
That just about sums up April here at the DSL worksite!

|Re: fixing unbalanced cluster !?
|Thu, 09 Jun 2011 14:44:31 GMT
Because you were able to successfully run repair you can follow up with a nodetool cleanup which will git rid of some of the extraneous data on that (bigger) node. You're also assured after you run repair that entropy beteen the nodes is minimal. Assuming you're using the random ordered partitioner: To balance your ring I would start by calculating the new token locations, then moving each of your nodes backwards along their owned range to their new locations. From the script on http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Operations your new balanced tokens would be: 0 21267647932558653966460912964485513216 42535295865117307932921825928971026432 63802943797675961899382738893456539648 85070591730234615865843651857942052864 106338239662793269832304564822427566080 127605887595351923798765477786913079296 148873535527910577765226390751398592512 From this you can see that 10.46.108.{100, 101} is already in the right place so you don't have to do anything with those nodes. Proceed with moving 10.46.108.104 to its new token, the safest way to do this would be to use nodetool move. Another way to do it could be to run a remove-token followed by re-adding the node into the ring at its new location. The risk here is that if you do not at least repair after re-joining the ring (and before you move the next node in the ring) then some of the data on that node would be ignored as it would now fall out of the owned range, so it's good practice to immediately run repair on a node that you do a removetoken / re-join on. The rest of your balancing should be an iteration on the above steps moving through the range. On 6/9/11 6:21 AM, Jonathan Colby wrote: > I got myself into a situation where one node (10.47.108.100) has a lot more data than the other nodes. In fact, the 1 TB disk on this node is almost full. I added 3 new nodes and let cassandra automatically calculate new tokens by taking the highest loaded nodes. Unfortunately there is still a big token range this node is responsible for (5113... - 85070...). Yes, I know that one option would be to rebalance the entire cluster with move but this is an extremely time-consuming and error-prone process because of the amount of data involved. > > Our RF = 3 and we read/write quorum.

LondonExcellence Limited
It is with regret that the Board have decided that London Excellence Limited should cease trading with effect from the 1st March 2018.
The last few years have been difficult for many companies and our experience is that the time and money available to engage in peer-networking has been squeezed. As such our membership activities have become increasingly unsustainable.
As we have seen the last of our regional sister organisations succumb to these financial pressures we have taken this reluctant decision to ensure the best outcome for all stakeholders:
No individual or organisation will lose out financially.
- all current members will have their fees refunded from the 1st March 2018 to the end of their membership year and we thank you for your loyalty and contributions over the years.
- all creditors will be paid in full
- an amicable settlement will be reached with staff;
- no directors will be affected since there will be no need to place the company into receivership.
Once all administrative matters have been finalised and sufficient time has elapsed the Directors will seek for the company to be dissolved and struck off the register of companies in line with legal requirements.
On a personal note, I have gained so much from my time with London Excellence, developing so many skills and learning so much. They have been happy years and I have enjoyed working with you all. I sincerely hope that I will continue to work with many of you on personal terms and look forward to any developments that the future may bring.
In the meantime, if you have any queries with regards to this, please do not hesitate to email or give me a call.
With kind regards,
Rose Viggiani

At Night - Poem by Caroline Glen
At night the TV screen the newly dead;
the united young, destroyed on foreign soil.
One photo follows the next, We read the names
and speechless sit and watch with usual dread.
We wonder when these photographs will end;
and bodies darkly zipped in plastic bags.
No war no more we say but know more deaths
will scar beloved ones' hearts that cannot mend.
We think of families who honour law,
believe that good will overcome all wrongs,
who stare at empty closets, empty beds,
voices, laughter, hushed for ever more.
Caskets in the round, the final track,
headstones now instead of their children's flesh.
The elements and tears can't comfort them.
Heads bowed in prayer can never bring them back.
Never to hear the surge of wind through trees,
nor see the challenging sun begin its climb,
nor feel the shoulder-closeness of their friends.
Another war has taken all of these.
We hope one day the screen will cease to show
the moving photos of the beautiful young
who tried their best to do what they were asked,
denied their measure of time to love and grow.
(Surfers Paradise, Australia. March 2006)

Well it seems the owners of San Fairie Ann, a successful restaurant just round the corner in Alexandra Road have been thinking the same thing.
La Petite Petanque, a Cafe-Bistro opened a few weeks ago, and the new owners have obviously refurbished the Victorian Pavilion building to an extremely high standard, which is lovely to see. I hate to see fantastic old buildings such as this one fall into disrepair. They have so much character and history, they deserve to be looked after.
We briefly passed through the restaurant which has been refurbished in the style of a French Bistro, a baby grand piano sitting at one end, and opted to sit outside on the terrace, to study the menu.
Onto the gripes, albeit minor ones. My vegetable chips were a bit lacklustre, they lacked bite and were a bit tasteless and soft. The Club Sandwich lacked Seasoning. the side orders of chips were OK, a bit soft perhaps- I think crisp frites would work much better and be more in keeping with the Bistro vibe. Also, the green salad could do with a bit more dressing.
As for the menu, I was extremely pleased to see that the Breakfast section, available till 12 is very homegrown- Full English, Porridge, Kippers....but the lunch choices appear to jump all over the Mediterranean.
Personally, In keeping with the sheer timeless British look of the place, I'd like to see the menu emphasis on a more seasonal, good standard British menu. Think Mark Hix but obviously quite a few notches down the scale. But It's early days yet, so perhaps some tweaking will follow.
But for all that, the food was good. The surroundings are about as pleasant as you can get. The terrace is an extremely nice place to sit and eat lunch. I could quite happily while away the hours sitting there, especially if the Sun puts in an appearance.
The refurbishment is cracking, so all credit to the owners for breathing life back into the old building. It's a pity that due to it's location in the conservation area that it's only open till 7pm, It would be lovely place to sit and eat on a summers evening.
Overall - La Petite Petanque is a credit to Southend, I'll certainly be visiting again.

text: There has not been enough progress to move on in Brexit negotiations, the EU's chief negotiator said on Thursday.Michel Barnier told a news conference to mark the end of a fifth round of negotiations between the U.K. and the EU that progress was made in some issues but there was still "deadlock" over the so-called divorce bill.However, he also said "decisive progress is in our grasp within the next two months".U.K. Brexit Secretary and negotiator David Davis said progress was made on the citizens' rights, one of the key points in negotiations."On citizens' rights, we have made further progress to give British citizens in the EU and EU27 citizens in the U.K. the greatest possible legal certainty about the future," he said."But today I can confirm that we want to reassure those European citizens living in the U.K. that their rights and status will be enshrined in UK law by the Withdrawal Agreement," Davis added.Davis said there is more work to do on the border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland but further progress has been made as they "have agreed to start working on common undertakings to protect the Good Friday agreement".The U.K. had insisted Brexit negotiations had reached a point where sufficient progress had been made to take the talks to the second stage where the future relationship arrangements between the U.K. and the EU could be discussed.However, the EU leaders said upon the completion of the fourth round of negotiations last month, that the progress seen was not enough, but praised a speech by Prime Minister Theresa in Florence, describing it as a step forward.Whether there has been enough progress will be evaluated at an EU summit later in October.British voters opted to leave the EU in a referendum over a year ago and Brexit negotiations are expected to be finalized in March 2019.The issue of citizens' rights is one of the main issues to be dealt with during the negotiations, together with the land borders between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland as well as Gibraltar and Spain, plus immigration control and access to the European single market. -
