Thousands of veterans to lose health insurance plan tonight
WASHINGTON, D.C. As Obamacare and the nation's federal spending are debated on Capitol Hill ahead of the Monday midnight deadline, there is another deadline looming that is not related to either.
Thousands of veterans will be losing their current health care plan and will be forced to join a plan that could nearly double their out of pocket costs, according to Kathy Beasley, a retired navy captain who now works as the deputy director of government relations at the Military Officers Association of America.
"The department is looking to save money, and this is one among many programs that they've identified that they could recoup some dollars," Beasley said.
Beasley said approximately 175,000 veterans will be forced to switch from their current military TRICARE Prime health insurance plan, to TRICARE Standard, which she says will not only cost more, but will disrupt the "continuity of care" since some healthcare providers might not accept the new insurance.
Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) is helping Beasley advocate on behalf of the affected veterans by pushing the issue on Capitol Hill. He is working on legislation that would allow veterans who already have TRICARE Prime to keep it, by allowing them to be "grandfathered" into their current plan.
"We always talk about how brave they are and committed they are. One way elected officials can prove that we're worthy of that valor is to protect a benefit like this that is affordable and also delivers good health care," Casey said.
Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown is weighing in too. He said we owe it to our veterans to make sure they stay covered under the plan they were promised.
"The deal was you serve your country for that many years, you get decent health care and we need to live up to that obligation, pure and simple," Brown said.
While lawmakers work on a bill that would allow current TRICARE Prime members to keep their insurance plan, Beasley is closely monitoring the effort from her office in Old Town, VA.
"These people were promised to be able to have this option," Beasley said. "To disrupt that, essentially that promise that was made to them, is not the right thing to do."
Though lawmakers and lobbyists are pushing for this legislation to pass, none of them think it will happen before the October 1st deadline.

These were the first bending wrist Tyler dolls. Retail $79.99
News, reviews and photographs of Modern Fashion Dolls including Sybarite, Kingdom Doll, Fashion Royalty, Tonner Doll, Gene Marshall, Barbie and my own experiences as a doll collector.
I suppose a lower price would be nice (when isn't it?)...but considering it's 10 years later, can you honestly say that the retail price wouldn't reflect this? You never seem to take into account the rising costs of manufacturing when you comment on whether you think the price is too high or not. Everyone wants to see lower prices, but as a blogger, one would think you would take something like cost of materials and manufacturing into account when commenting on value.
ReplyDeleteMr. Anonymous!
In 2004, the BW doll was $79.99. That's five years, not ten. This occasion could have been an excellent opportunity for the TDC to thank it's collectors by reverting to an earlier price for this small edition of dolls. That's really what I'm talking about. This Tyler is really not much more than a basic doll. Yes I would have like the $79.99 price again - everyone would have. It has nothing to do with being a blogger and everything to do with being a consumer in a difficult economy.
Thank you for your comments.

Embryonic, as you probably know from Wayne Coyne's blanketing press-relations approach, is a double album, which means it's damn long. Seventy minutes to be exact, though that's more than short enough to fit on only one disc. That could be said about every double album of all time, though, and that's beside the point. We're here for the Flaming Lips, the band with perhaps the longest leash in major-label history. What other group do you know that could have released a string of albums as bonkers as the Lips have?
None. And that's where part of the charm of Embryonic comes from; the smiling satisfaction of knowing that somewhere some suit at Warner Bros. had to approve of this thing. As in, had to listen to the whole thing, and go, "Yup, we'll put this out on two discs, and clear these samples of a barely known mathematician" (by the name of Thorsten Wormann). It also helps that Embryonic is -- at the very least -- close to the best Flaming Lips album this decade (it's neck and neck with Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots), but leagues weirder than anything the band has done since at least the early '90s (it's on par with them being on 90210, but not as weird as stuff they did in the '80s).
After a trio of albums that took the band's widescreen prog-rock focus to its bombastic (and sometimes pretty bad) conclusion (that would be 2006's At War With the Mystics), the Lips are back to being a few weird dudes holed up in a room making bizzaro pop songs with little concern for singles, videos, or even if anyone is going to understand it while not flying high on a few tabs of acid. From the opening squiggles and shards of noise on "Convinced of the Hex" to the discordant anthem "Watching the Planets," Flaming Lips have recommitted themselves to music over spectacle, after the latter part of that equation took over for the latter half of this decade.
At first spin, Embryonic feels like something of a new direction for the Lips, maybe allowing them some new ground to bury in confetti. But upon multiple listens, it becomes clear that Embryonic's 18 tracks instead split the difference between the group's last three albums. The monolithic grooves of War with the Mystics are all over "Silver Trembling Hands," "The Sparrow Looks Up at the Machine," "Your Bats" and album highlight "See The Leaves." The hazy melodramatic ballads and experimentation of Yoshimi Battles and The Soft Bulletin are present in "Evil," "If," "I Can Be a Frog" and "The Impulse." And while it's tempting to laud Embryonic's abrasiveness given the too easy accessibility of At War, it's really just another one of the Lips' "pop" albums, this time with messier, less friendly and way longer results. Which most Flaming Lips heads will probably welcome with wide-open arms.
A certain amount of reassurance in the power of the Flaming Lips comes with each of the band's album releases, and this one is no different. That this group of freaky Oklahomans can stay on a major label for 20 years, releasing new albums that push the boundaries of their sound (and everyone else's), all while remaining true to their original mission is not only surprising, but seems damn near impossible. There's been no going broad for cheap success (like U2) for the Flaming Lips, no fading into a parody of themselves (like the Rolling Stones), and no truly awful record. In 2009, the Flaming Lips are still as vital as they were in 1999 and 1989.

Embryonic isn't just The Flaming Lips' 12th studio release, it's their first double LP. The Oklahoma trio must be celebrating "Do You Realize?" being selected as their home state's song. Frontman Wayne Coyne says the new record solves their perpetual "dilemma" of what to include on each album, by dumping all their ideas on the follow-up to 2006's At War With the Mystics. Coyne had this to say about the double-LP decision to Billboard : "Some of my favorite records – thinking Beatles White Album, Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti and even some of the longer things that The Clash have done – part of the reason I like them is that they're not focused. They're kind of like a free-for-all and go everywhere. It's not necessarily because we're prolific, I think we always stay in a sort of perpetual panic of like we never have more songs than we need and we always wonder if any of them are any good to begin with." Coyne notes that Embryonic is less polished than Mystics or 2002's Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robits and has a "freak-out vibe." The freaky frontman also notes the influence of Miles Davis' group and slow-burn songs like John Lennon's "Instant Karma." Track titles include "Convinced of the Hex" and "I Don't Understand Karma."

Hi, I'm just wondering if you have done any research before writing this piece because I have the Soft Bullitin and At War with the Mystics on my shelf and contained inside the gatefold sleeve are two records with different music on both sides of both making both albums double LP's in my opinion. The CD in the local shop only had one disc, Vinyl snobs know what they are talking about and you obviously don't have your facts correct here.
Bulletin and Mystics are not considered double albums. If you want to get into specifics, an "album" isn't defined by the length of the piece or the format it comes on. It's completely up to the discretion of the artist. So if the piece comes on one CD, two slabs of vinyls, and six freaking cassettes, it's whatever the artist says it is. If the band is calling Embryonic their first double album (and I assure you they are), no matter how many slabs of vinyl past records were spread out onto, then it's their first. Hate when people try and call one of our reviewers out and they're wrong...

Can anyone point me to a reliable and trusted version of Sinegen that actually works and doesn't attempt to install bloatware?
I found a version of 2.5 that XP finds corrupt....so thats a bust.
I found a version of 2.1 and after install I can't find it anywhere on my computer....like it was never installed.
The only thing I can think of is that I didn't want the bloatware installed so it doesn't install the program???
I'd really like to use Sinegen for doing EQ adjustments so any info is appreciated.

Coldwater census nears completion
COLDWATER - Residents received a census survey with their recent water bill.
According to the village charter, a census survey must be completed every 10 years to determine if a population change requires redistricting of the village's four wards. The population within each ward must be within 15 percent of each other.
Village Manager Eric Thomas said 1,750 surveys were mailed out, with a majority returned.
"I feel confident with the good numbers we have been getting back from the survey that we will have a nearly accurate count. It will never be 100 percent as people come and go all the time," Thomas said.
The project must be completed by the end of the year.
Council members viewed the new automatic meter reading (AMR) system located in the municipal center. Nearly 1,850 water meters will be replaced with the AMR system in the next three to four years.
Environmental committee chairman Joe Knapschaefer said when the meters are installed, each home will be checked for compliance to village water regulation. Those regulations include checking if sump pumps are properly connected, gutters are draining correctly and properties with cisterns have back-flow preventers.
If a problem is found, the homeowner is expected to correct the situation. Council has been discussing a penalty if a water customer denies access to their home. Action may range from fines to denial of service.
In other action, council members:
• Approved emergency legislation to accept the annexation of nearly five acres of land located on the northeast edge of the village. The land is owned by Brent and Randy Schwieterman.
• Slated a finance committee meeting for 5:30 p.m. Nov. 21.
• Learned winterization of Memorial Park is nearly finished, village crews are preparing equipment for the winter and crews worked on a leaking pump at the village pool.

A few days ago, 2K Games asked XCOM fans to make an important decision. In the latest set of live trailers, Bureau Agent Ennis Cole (played by Dominic Monaghan) is distraught after a personal tragedy. It was up to you whether he grabs a gun or a bottle.
With a narrow majority of 51 percent, Cole grabs the bottle. Before you see what happens next though, be sure to watch the original Burn Room trailer, and the first two videos in this series here and here.
The Bureau: XCOM Declassified arrives on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC on August 20, 2013.
Very cool.

If you can't beat 'em with power, beat 'em with price. So goes the philosophy on Sprint's latest Android smartphone release.
Sprint announced Friday the Samsung Conquer 4G — Sprint's first 4G-ready smartphone to launch on its WiMax network — for $100. Add to that a mail-in rebate redeemable shortly after release, and the phone ends up costing a cool 50 bones. For a smartphone capable of connecting to next-generation network technology, the price is tough to beat.
Along with the release of multiple high-end smartphones this year, manufacturers are producing a range of cheaper low-end devices to capture all segments of the market. Motorola's XT31 — a device with a hardware profile similar to the Conquer — debuted Thursday. And recent rumors suggest a low-end version iPhone may debut upon the eventual release of the iPhone 5.
Sprint's Conquer, however, comes with a number of more impressive hardware attributes than other low-end devices. For one, it has both front- and back-facing cameras — 1.3 and 3.2 megapixels, respectively — which you don't often see on sub-$100 devices. It's also powered by a 1-GHz processor, comes with a microSD slot expandable up to 32 GB and can act as a mobile hotspot capable of supporting up to five wireless devices. To boot, the phone ships with Android version 2.3 (Gingerbread), an attribute that even some of today's most powerful Android phones don't share.
But it's not about the hardware. The device's 4G connectivity is the main draw, especially considering Sprint's continued unlimited data plan policy; out of all the carriers, Sprint remains the only one to offer a truly unlimited data plan.
The phone hits Sprint retail and online stores on Aug. 21.

'Bachelorette' Red-Band Trailer Gets Vulgar
When Bridesmaids blew up last year, everyone was surprised and many mused over whether or not an R-rated, women-centric comedy doing big box-office numbers ($288 million worldwide, to be precise) would blow open the doors for similar films. It might be a while before we know for sure exactly how wide those doors have been blown open, but it at least made one film possible: Bachelorette.
No, this isn't the case of a quick rip-off cashing in on someone else's popularity. Writer-director Leslye Headland (FX' Terriers) had been trying to get the film off the ground but just couldn't. But as Isla Fisher told us earlier this year after its Sundance premiere, "We only got made because of Bridesmaids. They gave us the money the week after [Bridesmaids released]." And as costar Kirsten Dunst pointed out, the only thing the two movies have in common is a wedding. Character and content-wise the two look wildly different. Where Bridesmaids was about Kristen Wiig figuring out her life, Bachelorette looks more like a straight-up raunchy comedy that happens to star a handful of beautiful ladies: Fisher, Dunst, Lizzy Caplan and Rebel Wilson.
The film hits VOD on August 10 as part of the Weinstein Company's new Radius label, but if you want to catch it in a theater, you can hold for its September 7 limited release. Check out the red-band trailer below, which is quite NSFW.

Today In Hip-Hop: N.W.A Releases 'Straight Outta Compton'
On this day, August 8, in hip-hop history…
1988: It's not an overstatement to say that Straight Outta Compton changed the face of music. Five street kids from inner-city Los Angeles scared America to its core with its brand of uncut, profanity-laced street rap that was often deemed "pornographic" to mainstream sensibilities. "Gangsta rap" existed before N.W.A but they were the group that launched the music into the national conscious and transformed it from nascent subgenre to a global phenomenon.
Released in August 1988, Straight Outta Compton felt like a Street Sweeper shotgun blast to chest of America. N.W.A challenged social norms, good taste and basic obscenity laws as their album caught fire on the national scene. N.W.A' s music was violent, overtly sexual and did not bother to hide behind a wall of linguistic nuance. The album was as raw as the nerve it struck. They cursed, they posed with guns and draped themselves in the colors of America's growing gang problem. Most importantly, they did not bother to care who they offended in the process. The album's popularity bred controversy who deemed the album's violent and sexual lyrics to be profane and inappropriate for children to listen to.
Controversy only helped the group sell more records. Straight Outta Compton was a commercial smash selling two million records largely independent and without the help of major radio play. The album is loaded with some of hip-hop's most signature songs including the highly controversial protest song, "Fuck The Police," Straight Outta Compton," "Gangsta Gangsta" and "Express Yourself." Although, the album is noted for its violent imagery, its cloaked in mask of social protest. The group was a bunch of impoverished kids living in the drug-infested, inner-city Los Angeles of the 1980s and the music they made reflected that reality. It made sense that the talented writers of the hip-hop generation would make music that were about the world that surrounded them. Violence was omnipresent thus violence was present in their music.
25 years later, N.W.A.'s influence still reverberates not only in the on-going popularity of gangster rap but the influence of the members themselves. N.W.A. consisted of a star-studded lineup that went on to become the face of popular music over the years. The group's leader and diminutive loudmouth, the late Eazy E started Ruthless Records that housed such acts as Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Above The Law and The D.O.C. Ice Cube would go on to be a movie star and have a multiplatinum solo career, himself. The group's lead producer, Dr. Dre would become arguably the greatest hip-hop producer of all-time and launch the careers of too many hip-hop stars to even name. Even MC Ren and DJ Yella would have records that would on to gold records in their career. Its an enduring musical legacy that makes them arguably rap's greatest group of all-time.

Working together key says incoming Chamber president
Denni Bonetti was installed as president of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce at the organization's 80th annual general meeting on Tuesday.
Bonetti, who works with her husband Carlo at their family business, Bonetti Freezer Meats, takes over from Milt Kruger of Online Collision, who has served as president for the past year.
First vice-president is Angie Quaale of Well Seasoned. Second vice-president is Jeremy East of BDO Canada, and secretary-treasurer is Kristine Simpson of KPMG.
District directors are Jamie Moi for Langley City; Viviane Barber for North Langley; Danielle Nelson for South Langley and Michelle Chandra for Aldergrove.
Serving as directors at large for the coming year are Brian Dougherty, Linda Harkinson, Tony Malyk, Sharon Newberry, Mary Reeves and Scott Waddle.
In her first speech as president, Bonetti said the new board will work to improve efficiencies and make the best use of board members' time, a process started under Kruger's leadership. She also noted that he had been elected as a director of the B.C. Chamber at that organization's recent annual meeting in Prince George.
"My personal goal is to improve the chamber's participation at all levels of government, to ensure that business voices are heard," she said.
She also emphasized the importance of working closely with other chambers in the region.
Outgoing president Kruger noted that several Langley resolutions were included as policy at the B.C. Chamber's AGM — resolutions on return of the business vote, the Aldergrove border crossing and assured sources of transportation funding.

Ultrabook makers turn to fibreglass to cut costs
Cheaper to make, cheaper to sell
Posted in Personal Tech, 8th September 2011 10:13 GMT
Take this as you will, but it's claimed that many upcoming Ultrabook laptops will use a fibreglass chassis to bring production costs down to the point where their vendors can sell the machines for under $1000 (£627).
According to the inevitable 'unnanmed industry sources', cited by DigiTimes, fibreglass may be used instead of the preferred magnesium-aluminium alloy because it's half the price.
Chip maker Intel, which owns the Ultrabook trademark and defines the Ultrabook spec, is said to have recently introduced Mitac to notebook vendors as a potential supplier of fibreglass chassis parts.
Intel wants to get Ultrabooks into as many punters' hands as possible, and getting the price down below $1000 is considered to be essential to do so.
And its suggestion seems to have fallen on receptive ears. According to the report, Acer, Asus and Lenovo have all signed up Mitac to produce fibreglass frames. ®

Use a cup of ice water to make sure it gives the correct temperature. Chef Keith Snow of the local food culinary weblog Harvest Eating suggests that if you don't have another properly calibrated thermometer on hand to measure your cooking thermometer against you can always fill a cup completely with ice, add water, and stir the ice and water together for a minute to equalize the temperature.AdvertisementAdvertisementMany pocket thermometers come with protective cases and many of those cases have a small built-in calibration wrench for the thermometer. Place the thermometer in the cup of ice water and adjust the hexagonal nut until the thermometer reads 32 degrees Fahrenheit.Using the ice water method may not give you a perfect laboratory-suitable calibration, but it should be accurate within a degree or two and very suitable for cooking use.

African Ancestry in Indiana
HISTORY & BACKGROUND The Land that is now Indiana was once part of a great
wilderness. By early 1700's, the wilderness was called New France, a few
settlers, fur traders and explorers had seen this wild land,but few
records were kept.
Some explorers bought slaves with them, so it is very likely that blacks were
among the first to explore Indiana. The first records of blacks in Indiana were written in 1746. There were forty white men and five Negroes in a French
settlement on the Wabash River. This was the beginning of the city
Vincennes; which is along Indiana's southwestern border. Some French settlers had Indian slaves, but soon the French were buying black men from trading post on the lower Mississippi River.
In 1787, congress passed a group of laws called the Northwest Ordinance.
One of the Laws indicated that there would be no slavery. Slavery was legal when
Virginia still owned the land which is now Indiana.
Slave holders soon found ways to bring slaves into the territory as
long-term indentured servants. Substantial debates continue about the status of blacks in the state. Indiana was perceived as a hostile state toward people of color during the most unfriendly years of 1816-1865. Many thought that indentured servitude was just another form of slavery. In 1831, legislators passed a bill to keep 'Negroes' out of Indiana.
The American Colonization Society was established in 1817 to send Blacks
Back to Africa. In 1850, Indiana Govornor, Joseph A. Wright, petitioned the legislature for money to help build a settlement for Blacks in Liberia. Most Indiana blacks were against the Back to Africa Movement. By 1853, thirty three Blacks had sailed for Africa and another fourteen followed in 1854. By 1851 article 13 had been passed (93 - 40) to keep 'Negroes" from coming to Indiana. More than
1,350,000 people lived in Indiana by 1860, and a little over 11,000 were of African descent.
Not all Blacks in the Territory were slaves or indentured servants. By the time Indiana became a state, in 1816, many free men were already settled in Indiana. Some were born free, others were set free and moved from other states. There were over 20 black settlements, (most inhabited by people of mixed race) in the years before the Civil War. Most of the settlers were born in North Carolina and move to avoid restrictive laws of the South. Over 1300 Black men from Indiana fought with the Union Army in The United States Colored Troops.

Throwing Pity out, out of Self-Pity. |
January 2, 2013 |
Greetings. I'm feeling really positive about year 2013. Don't ask me why, but there's just something really gloomy about 2012, yknow with all the predictions that the world might end and all that crap. Maybe that scare was good for mankind, maybe it was some sort of a reminder that life will pass you by before you know it. Out of curiosity, I looked up the horoscope for this year and it's looking mighty fine. I am well aware that work is gonna be tough, so I definitely need to get myself well prepared for it.
2013 horoscope – The Dragon In Love
The Chinese 2013 horoscope for Dragon shows us that your goal for the 2013 year of Snake is to make sure that no one is being walked all over. This means first and foremost that you must make sure your partner is not taking on the brunt of your frustrations. It's true that you appreciate someone that stands up to you and that doesn't back down when you confront them, but you also have a tendency to get into situations where this isn't the case. Don't be a bully.
If you currently have a partner who isn't quite standing up to you the way that you need them to, then it is time to end that relationship. They won't change, you won't change – the only way to enact real change is to walk away. On the other hand, if you are in a relationship with someone who does stand up to you, make sure they're not doing so too much. It's common for the Dragon to be so attracted to people who don't back down that they end up being with someone who won't back down even when it's a necessary. Remember that any good relationship requires compromise and both you and your partner must be willing to compromise.
2013 horoscope – The Dragon at Work
Your determination is going to be needed this 2013 year of the Snake. The Chinese 2013 horoscope for Dragon shows that your work live will be in turmoil. Even if you've been in your current position for a number of years, restructuring in the company or your department could mean an end to your job as you know it. If there are a few spots left, be prepared to fight for them.
No matter what happens this 2013 year, and a lot will happen, don't let go of your fire-breathing ways. When necessary, take the needed time to grieve the past and grieve the things that haven't gone your way, but then get back up and rise like the phoenix from the ashes. You are good enough, you are smart enough, and people really do like you. (source)

To sum up this post, I hope that we can all find a way to see the good in every bad situation we get caught in. If there's anything that I've learned from 2012, changes are necessary. It's not something we should be afraid of. Things can sometimes change for the better, and it all comes down to a matter of perspective. So, the way YOU look at EVERYTHING matters. Try not to wallow in self-pity. It gets you nowhere. Self-pity dries up our sympathy for others. Looked up online, and found this helpful tip. Here's a serious not-to-self..
Devise A System for Yourself
When you become aware that you are nourishing this self-pity try to do things that help you deal with self-pity. You can choose any of the following:
- Exercise: Exercise helps you in getting rid of the negative thoughts. Toxins are also flushed out of your body when you exercise and so does the self pity.strikes you. But you can choose other healthy activities.
- Power of Choosing: Train your mind to think in different manner. You can always tell your mind that you will not chose victim-hood. It is not a cliché but really true that you should start counting your blessings. If you can't think, then take a pencil and paper and write down your blessings. Blessings and self-pity are mutually exclusive events. So after jotting down be sure that you will not be feeling pity for yourself.
- Throwing Pity out, out of self-pity: Sometimes you can't exercise or write down your blessings. Then try this powerful technique to get out of self pity. Close your eyes. Think about self-pitying thoughts with FULL force. Let them come. Concentrate on bundling all the self-pity thoughts. Then imagine of a well, toilet seat, dustbin, window or whatever catches your fancy. One by one, dump all the self-pity in that pit. ALL of it. Try doing this mental exercise whenever you feel the need. One day you won't feel the need for this exercise.
- Stop Powering Others or Forgive and Forget: Again it may sound like a cliché but its not. Forgive and forget is the one of the most empowering thoughts you can adorn yourself with. Past is gone. No matter how much you want to go back there, the truth is you CAN'T. But present and future is in your hand. If you don't forgive and forget that means you are giving unnecessary power to others to hold you down. You are giving others to remote control your life that too from distant past. Take that remote control in your hand. Let go of the old grudges and sorrowful happenings. You will fell lighter.
- Stop Comparing: You are your own unique person so how can you compare yourself with others? You will be bombard with good life ads from TV, magazines, newspapers etc. don't let them define for you what is good for you. Do your own things. Find out what makes you happy and contented. Set out to achieve your own goals not what others are saying. So don't pay attention to ads and feel like a loser. Embark on the path of self discovery.
- Create a Positive Force Around you: It is not something very difficult to achieve. You don't have to be a highly spiritual person to possess a positive aura around you. You have to smile a lot, laugh a lot, develop a sense of humor, help others, get a hobby, spread warmth and nurture friendships. You can always cultivate these qualities. A healthy positive force helps in getting rid of self-pity. (source)

Uninstall IMVU completely and download IMVU from
Do not use the old installer, this is a different installer entirely as it is the full installer and not the streaming one which is common during updates.
As for the crashing, you need to try to clear the cache first. Go to Settings, click "Advanced" and click "clear cache". If that does not work clear the cache manually. To learn how to clear cache manually read

It's very simple, and was easy to find. It's a download and even if you download it and update it, it will not crash... well it worked for me, and every download crashed. I downloaded Imvu 463.0 it's an old download, but updates into the latest version and doesn't crash.
Btw my computer is a Window XP, so if it doesn't work for yours it may be your Framework, or the version of your computer, but Window 7 usually works with any download.

when I rebooted my XP and downloaded from IMVU website, it crashed before! startup.. I took another advice and replaced latest version with an older version, it did not work!!!
But, thx Luv, I rebooted again, then I downloaded from your link, and it works:)) just when you start up imvu, it asks for update for latest version, allow it to do, works!!! happy again:)

G&P Quick Lock QD M203 Airsoft Grenade Launcher - XS
5 Customer Reviews
by david f. on 02/18/2015
"I just pick mine up yesterday and it look amazing I would recommend it to anyone to by!!!!!!!! Buy one before it is to laye !!!!!!!!!
by Stephen K. on 05/03/2013
"This thing is pretty cool. It fits nice and snug on my echo1 stag m4. This thing is mostly metal with a VERY hard plastic for the grip. One note though, that little piece of metal (trigger guard) with a crease that is supposed to go to the mag well of your m4: if you attach a free float ris rail to your gun, it won't fit in place. This is a very nice launcher though 5 stars!
(this will make your gun weigh a lot!)

by Jeff R. on 05/03/2013
"This launcher is AMAZING. i have had no problems with it and it works like a charm. I have bought a mad bull 120 round shell, and trust me this thing is intimidating. the launcher is constructed by metal and the hand grip part is ABS plastic. It is very light weight, even with the shell in it. Heres an example of how this works. Ok so on my field in the back of my house i have a 2 story tower. There was a kid in the tower, and i came around to flank and i shot this launcher off. Now i didn't hit him, but when this fires it sounds like an M80 fire cracker. 120 pellets then hit the front of the tower after the loud pop. The kid started screaming and yelling surrender. I DIDN"T EVEN HIT HIM!!! If you are thinking of a launcher to buy i suggest buying this one.
by Stephen R. on 03/05/2013
"great high quality grenade launcher. perfect finish and works like a charm. If you are looking for a M203, consider G&P!
by Jackson F. on 11/18/2012
"I love my G&P m203. this G&P on is seriously flawless.
full metal
very comfortable grip
very sturdy
is exactly what you want in an m203
best m203 on the market! better than the CA one!!

Gonzo Backs Torture Probe
Newscom / p79
Holder has said that CIA personnel who stayed within the Justice Department's legal guidelines will not be prosecuted.
Those people, said Gonzales, "are heroes and and should be treated like heroes for the most part, not criminals."
Gonzo added: "As chief prosecutor of the United States, [Holder] should make the decision on his own, based on the facts, then inform the White House."
Maybe he's wishing he did more of that during his own tenure.


text: Beards Are Nothing. Beards Are Everything. Beards Contain Multitudes.Kate Dries2/06/14 11:40amFiled to: beardsscientific studiesresearchmen with beards1122EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkBlame the cold winter, but men in politics are loving beards right now. From Secretary of State John Kerry to White House speech writer Cody Keenan to Press Secretary Jay Carney, those white male democrats are loving that hair on their face. But what does this all mean for the state of the union?The New Republic's Alice Robb has broken down the many studies that have been done about the how and why of beards and has come to the conclusion that beards, as we have noted before, are very complicated. They signal confidence and healthiness, are a preventative measure against skin cancer, can make a man seem more aggressive or wealthier or indicate that he'll live longer or that he's more attractive to women (or that he's not). If you're a man, a beard might get you a job, but it might also make someone at a company that makes razors lose theirs. You might even want a beard so badly you'll get a facial hair transplant because you've heard it will make you sexier. The beard has a far-reaching effect. If we can't pin down what the deal is with beards, what hope is there for the human race as it stands?AdvertisementAdvertisementIn truth, the beard is mystical and magical because it fixates on two of our favorite things at once: hair and faces. What is more fascinating than the stuff we're constantly debating whether to remove or wear a certain element combined with the thing we obsessively look at in the mirror?Of course, the headline of this post could have been amended to "No One Knows Anything About Anything and Most Scientific Studies Seem Like They're in Opposition to Each Other, But If We Didn't Have Them, How Could We Prove We Were Learning and Growing and Would We Really Have Anything to Talk About?" But that seemed a little long.Image via Carolyn Kaster/APReply112 repliesLeave a reply

25 , Colorado | Subject: Ironman swim in 4 months? Hey guys, just finished my first post in the introduction section, so I'm pretty new Anyway, I just wanted to get a general opinion from you more experienced folk!. I just completed my second sprint, I really feel like I could have done more though. The 800m swim was relatively easy once I got in the zone, I've done 50+ mi bike rides, and my long runs are ~8 mi I am deploying this winter and plan to get up to marathon status as well as strengthen my biking even more. When I come back, I will have four months to get my swimming on par. I'm choosing either the Syracuse half (my hometown), or the Couer d'Alene full (I'm stationed in Spokane.) It would be nice to do the Syracuse, since that is where my family is - but flying is quite expensive across the country and I'd prefer to come home shortly after I return to the states and not do it a couple months afterwards. I'm not looking for a"good" race time, rather just having finished is most appealing. So the full is definitely more appealing to me. Thanks! |

Master 2855 Kailua, Hawaii | Subject: RE: Ironman swim in 4 months? definitely sounds like you are knocking on the door of a HIM. Because with only 4 months to get ready for a swim, at a sprint distance experience, I'd suggest to tackling the HIM instead of a IM. I'm not saying you couldn't manage the IM swim, but you said Couer d'Alene, which is very cold and hard swim for even experienced IM'ers.. Swimming for 800m is one thing but going for over 4x that is a different story. |

Subject: RE: Ironman swim in 4 months? Do you only have a certain window of opportunity to race? There are lots of other races next summer on the west coast. Vineman, St George, Boulder, Boise, and Lake Stevens come to mind and there are likely many more if you are willing to race non WTC branded. |

Veteran 236 San Diego, CA | Subject: RE: Ironman swim in 4 months? Go with Syracuse. It is an awesome race that is quite scenic and low stress, which after being deployed might be worth considering. Also the difference in training load and stress between a HIM and a Full is very different. Training for a full should not be taken lightly. |

25 , Colorado | Subject: RE: Ironman swim in 4 months? 800m is actually the farthest I've gone... heh. But I've never felt more comfortable with it, like I've broken through whatever it was holding me back. I hadn't actually thought of doing other areas so thank you for widening my options. I'm fairly new to the sport as I'm sure you've all noticed. I suppose I will hold up on going home until June and maybe be able to get a little competitive with it. Thanks everyone! |

The Olympic Games may be the greatest sporting event in the World but, unless you are one of the few privileged sponsors, you could find yourself sued or even prosecuted for seeing the Games as a marketing opportunity.
The Olympic logo was protected by law in 1995 and the London Olympic Games & Paralympic Games Act 2006 is the key legislation for this year's Games. It set up the ODA (Olympic Delivery Authority) and includes rules to protect the commercial sponsors of the Games.
So what are you not allowed to do?
No use of Olympic symbol Any use of the five ring Olympic symbol, the 2012 logo, the words 'games', '2012', 'two thousand and twelve' in combination with each other or with London, gold, silver, bronze or medals is illegal and can attract the wrath of LOCOG (the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games) and a fine of up to £20,000. (If you do any Olympic related promotion on your website, expect to receive an email warning to remove it.)
No Advertising near the Olympics. Anything within an Olympic 'event zone' is prohibited unless you are there already – e.g. a shop on the Olympic cycle route can maintain its usual window display, but if you want to take advantage of the crowds to advertise some different products, be aware – you could be arrested and fined.
An event zone is usually an area within 200 metres of any Olympic or Paralympic event during the period of the Games in the area, and it applies not only in London but elsewhere in the country where there is any Olympic activity.
(There is an interesting exception to the no advertising regulations: they do not apply to demonstrations or advertising 'to publicise a belief, cause or campaign.')
Ahletes are also prohibited from advertising during the Games period.
(The one bright spot could be that this will be one of the few sporting events on the planet without Emirates t-shirts on display!)
No Trading in an event zone. If you already have a pizza house near the Olympic park, you can carry on with your business. But if you decided to take your pizzas along the street on a barrow or offer Burger King's products to the passing crowds, you could fall foul of the rules. If the authorities suspect you of breaking them, you can be raided: the 2006 Act specifically allows the police (or a Games official) to enter premises and destroy or remove any 'offending article' and to use 'reasonable force' in the process.
No mention of your Olympics supply contract. If you are lucky enough to have a contract to supply goods or services to LOCOG, you will be faced with some tight restrictions on marketing and these will also apply to your suppliers and subcontractors. You are not allowed to mention your association with the Games except by including a reference to your contract in a list that includes at least nine other client names; and you must deliver your supplies for the Games without any brand name, trade name or trade mark appearing. Some of these terms continue to apply after the London Games are over and there is also a strict confidentiality undertaking.
No ticket selling. If you were able to get some of the Olympic tickets that were offered to the public, you cannot transfer or resell them and if you decide to offer them to customers as a marketing ploy for your business, this can get you into trouble. The sponsors, of course, will be free to dispose of tickets to offer to their clients and contacts. If you want to resell your tickets, you are only allowed to do so through LOCOG's resale scheme.
All of this is designed to protect the sponsors from 'ambush marketing' – and, while it is not unreasonable for the corporations that have stumped up millions of pounds of sponsorship fees to have some protection, the draconian nature of these rules has attracted a lot of criticism. After all, UK taxpayers are the biggest sponsors, paying more than £9 billion – or nearly £150 for each man, woman and child in the country – a lot more than the commercial sponsors, so we should be encouraged to participate in promoting the Olympic symbol – but instead, this is going to be a crime.
Moreover, to prevent the hundreds of companies who are actually responsible for building the venues and supplying the goods and services that are needed to make the Games a success from publicising this fact (except in a brochure listing the Olympics with other client projects) is thought by many to be going too far.
Building Magazine has been running a campaign on behalf of the numerous contracting companies to get these restrictions lifted but, unsurprisingly, without success. Not only would it be difficult for the Government to override contractual terms imposed by LOCOG but the legislation was passed a few years ago and is unlikely to be reversed at this stage.
As for the event being dubbed the "Greenest Games ever" this looks a somewhat dubious claim. Not only are the tickets being printed in America and brought in by air along with the millions of visitors, but a proposal from the Greener upon Thames movement to support this claim by banning plastic bags from the Olympic venues was turned down by LOCOG. Perhaps not surprising when the major sponsors include those purveyors of sustainable living, Macdonalds, Coca Cola and Dow Chemicals!
Our photo shows the author in a prize winning fancy dress costume at the time of the 1948 Olympics in London –when competitors were amateurs and before big business had gained control of the event.

Craig The traffic light at West Sixth Avenue and Victory Way, better known as the Wal-Mart entrance, started blinking this week.
Craig residents can expect the light to start full operations - that is, go, yield and stop - in the next few days or early next week, said Walt Vanatta, Craig Chief of Police and traffic engineer.
It is expected that contractors building the Wal-Mart will hand the building over to store management in the next few weeks, Vanatta said. Management will start stocking the store with shelving and other interior fixtures soon after that happens, which is why the light is going into operation so early before the store opens.
"There will be quite a bit of employee and truck traffic then," Vanatta said.
Local government and the Colorado Department of Transportation deemed a traffic light necessary because of the increasing amount of vehicles on Highway 40.
"Our goal with this is to not have the same problem we have in front of Kmart," Vanatta said.
The area along Highway 40 between Kmart and Centennial Mall has historically been one of the worst spots in town for traffic collisions, he said.

Basic Learning Skills Training
Welcome to the St. Louis County and Municipal Police Academy Basic Learning Skills page. We designed these pages for Academy recruits who have been assigned to a recruit class, but have not yet begun their studies. You will find introductions to some of the skills you will need to use well at the Academy. You will also find some assessment exercises that will allow you and our instructors to determine what skills you already have and the skills on which you will need to work.
CMPA Recruits: This is a Required Assignment
Each recruit is expected to complete these exercises by the date on the confirmation letter.
It will take less than an hour to view or listen to the presentations, and two or three hours of additional work to do the exercises. We will provide you with some automated feedback and will contact you before you enter the program if we have concerns about your submissions.
You will also find links to learning skills materials available on the Web that you are encouraged to read.
Please note:
We are sorry, but while anyone may download and look at the materials on this site and will receive the automated feedback, only submissions from registered recruits will receive any personal attention.
System Requirements
This program is entirely Web-based, so you will need an Internet connection. If you are reading this, you obviously have one. A broadband connection is best, since there are streaming videos that you will need to watch in order to do the exercises. If you are able to watch videos on YouTube (which is where these are stored) than you have a fast enough connection to view the presentations.
Responses from the program, and if necessary the instructors, will be via email, so you will need an active email address, as well.
Obviously, you will also need a sound card and speakers/headphones to hear the narration on the YouTube videos.
Ready to Begin
It is generally a good idea to watch the video and do the exercise in one session. It rarely takes more than an hour for each part, and usually less than that. Do, however, plan on spending enough time to do the exercise well. Remember, you are making a first impression with the exercises you submit. They should represent your best work. Make sure your grammar and spelling are correct, and that your language is appropriate to business correspondence.
