Open Question: Can You Rate My Poem Please?

September 6, 2010 at 12:15 am

Could you please rate this on a basic scale from 0-10? Thanks!! Jewel In The Dark Despite the stereotype of their being simply emptiness in the dark. One’s possess view has disproven that theory. Lying somewhere in the depths of the shadows. Lies treasure that simply cannot be measured. Somewhere, there is a measure of value that is often underestimated. The treasure’s possess decision to endorse the shadows has caused this. However, you may not be able to look its value at first glance. You have to truly scope and study it with a careful trance. The object has its possess barrier, in which it is often enclosed. You can pick that peculiar lock, in which you must be willing. Once you do, amazement is to be seen. For one, he did not care how the treasure’s preferences were. The treasure preferred the darkness as opposed to light. He did not care, for he could adapt to the darkness with it. It believed in knowledge and someone truly real. One willing to be logical. He met the critical criteria required to earn their trust. Now that he was qualified, he went on his possess endeavor. The boy wanted the treasure for himself. The male wanted to prove himself that he stood out for the relax. He would cherish that treasure. He offered that treasure every he could. He would steal the prize buried in the treasure. The treasure’s heart. At first, the treasure could not be seen. Simply completing its work to gain knowledge and prepare for the future. It hid in the silent spot of the shadows and kept reserved. It communicated with others, and was fairly praised. The treasure had every right to be. At one point, he was able to describe the treasure. The treasure was a girl, ignored by males for being logical. For being real. She was one who has the knowledge of many. The inner beauty which often goes unseen. Because of this, her worth has secretly gone up. Ultimately becoming a buried treasure. He wanted the girl. The treasure. The jewel. For he would cherish it in the darkness along her. For a writer you are unbelievably professional, and comes to quite an irony when your response is more confusing than my poem. I happen to doubt your a legitimate writer considering the fact on your attitude is arrogant and rude. If your going to pin point flaws, then be sure to be logical about it instead of coming off as an arrogant prude.

This is for my dad in law. So I am clueless. I want something that is good quality and can look clearly around 100 yards. For example, he can use it to look a bullet hole clearly from 100 yards.

Looking at a spotting scope, I've seen the Nikon prostaff, or theres some nice leupold keep the price below 1,300. Want a good one for the money will be hunting with it and trying to find animals. Thanks

I go on a hunting trip out west every year ( open country). I want to buy a spotting scope for hunting trips out west and for hunting in michigan (open and closed country). I dont want to spend an arm and a leg but I willing to spend $500 to $600. I was looking between the leupold gold ring 15-30x50 the nikon prostaff 16-48x65 and the nikon spotter XL2 16-48x60. I am open to every different spotting scopes. What do you hunters and bird watchers think? What do you use?

ok lets start off with some background information.... so I live in New Jersey on the east coast, Im 24 years old 145 pounds and 5"9', Im built slim. I usually wear speedos below my board shorts to keep everything in place.Im not a professional swimer and I only started to wear speedos below my board shorts like 2 years ago, but the other day I went to the beach and found a silent spot on the beach, I was still in some peoples view...but not too many. I took off my board shorts and just wore the speedo, this is the first time I have ever done this before.. do you think this is weird? let me tell you why I wore the speedo, I wanted to receive a good tan. I think the tan lines look chilly. anyway its not like I want to be noticed but I do want a good tan. I dont want to go to a nude beach in a speedo either, because usually people on that beach scope you out and are perverts on the nude beach. I simply wore the speedo to tan...after I was done laying in the sun, I put my board shorts back on. I did noticed a couple people walk past me when I was wearing the speedo and I think they were checking me out......just interesting. Im not gay, I just like speedos. I would go to a tanning salon but I dont think they are safe because they cause skin cancer. let me know what you think. if you saw my tanlines at the gym would you giggle, or if you were my girlfriend and saw me in a speedo or saw my tanlibes, would you giggle or think that its sexy.

Before people say take the dog to the vet. I've been there and done that. Two vets in fact. She has thinning hair on her stomach and upper chest and by the inside of her lower legs and arm pits. She got staph once a few weeks ago but it cleared up after anti-biotics. She DOESN'T itch/scratch, etc... She DOESN'T lick her paws. She doesn't seemed to be bothered by it. Her behavior/appetite/etc... is normal. The vets have no clue what it is. They did a skin scrape to test for parasites/fungus and every came back negative. I originally had a towel in her box and they suggested that i buy a thicker pad... they said that maybe the hair loss was from a physical break (they looked at her below a scope and said it appeared to be physically broken). I bought a pad 3 months ago and i still look thinning and the original bald spots have no regrown hair. I tried bennadryl and that doesn't help. I was feeding her Cannidae chicken dog food but just recently switched to Innova (heard it was better and figured I'd try this). Also, the vet said that she doesn't believe that it is a thyroid problem because the hair loss wouldn't just be in one location but would be on her back and other places. Anyone ever encounter a problem similar to this? She is a mutt that is mixed with many dogs. She is below 2 years old and about 23 lbs and I think she has some beagle in her amongst a few other breeds. I would really like advice on how to proceed since the vets don't seem to have any idea. If it is stress what would I do to relieve this? I take her for 2 to 3 walks a day and play with her daily. On weekends we goto the lake or more walks. This past weekend I took her with me on a road trip to Austin where we sent to a dog park there. In other words I am an active owner with her. Thanks for the help. ooashooo - I was going to email you to ask you further. My vet suggested this too but I thought if I got a thick pad/dog bed that this would cease the pressure? She has to lay in her box about 8 hours a day due to me working and I'm certain she'll lay on her chest at times. Is there anyway to promote her positioning? If you happen to arrive back in here and wouldn't mind emailing me at redwing1997@hotmail.com, I'd like to ask a few additional questions and perhaps email you a pic just to look if the pattern is similar. I've been contemplating taking her to a dermatologist but I know they can receive pricey and since she doesn't itch/scratch or appear that it is an allergic reaction I don't want to waste the money if it really isn't likely to be that.

A little background: Grew up with a 5 inch Newtonian on a junk Alt-az, managed to have a little bit of fun with it, nothing methodical though. Recently had access to a 6 inch Newtonian on a GEM, needy quality though. Some good shots of the moon, and managed to receive Jupiter into focus....once. Pretty good understanding of the local sky, basic constellations, can actively spot Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and Venus on my early mornings. Now I really want to receive back into it. I fully intend to receive a pair of binocs, however, going camping in two weeks to zero-light pollution-6,000 ft elevation...really want to take a scope with me. Thinking between an Orion StarSeeker 130mm Newt GOTO, and an Orion XT8 Dob. I'm heavily leaning in the direction of the GOTO, for a couple of reasons: 1) I work weird hours/days, difficult to connect with the local community, I'll be on my possess. 2) Heavily light polluted home environment, should probably make learning on the Dob more difficult, no? 3) The Mrs. has a high quality DSLR I could probably attach fairly cheaply. No expectations, but maybe establish a foundation? 4) I just feel like the type of person who would receive irritated with an un-guided Alt-Az, and the methodology behind a GEM or GOTO suits my personality better. Actively looking for a better Newt on a GEM to replace a GOTO, to spend the money on optics rather than computers, haven't found a suitable candidate yet. Also figuring to add a 2X Barlow & maybe/maybe not 10mm Plossi. Whole budget should be <$600. In the mean time, working my way through this wonderful publication: http://www.synapses.co.uk/astro/ Open to any suggestions, thanks for any help.

and a gun with a scope powerfull enough to spot myself on earth, and the bullet could receive there in an instant. If i decided to shoot myself, what would happen? Steven Hawkings universe, is that a book or t.v.show?

My Grandfather has just been diagnosed with Cancer of the stomach. They are going to do a scope and take a better look. They saw spots on his liver and think that the cancer may have spread to his liver but they are not completly sure until they receive a closer look. He is 62 years old, he has been healthy his whole life. He works out and is not overweight, he has never even had any nice of operation done. What is our options? I have read things about vitamin b17 in ORGANIC only fruits like apricot seeds and apple seeds. Has anyone out there ever tried this or is anyone in the same boat that my family is in? Please leave any comments that would help us! We have never delt with anything like this before. Please tell us anything that you think that can help. Thank you!

i was just bored and felt like writing a poem lol so tell me watcha think peace Sweat in the eyes, blood in the sand. A soldiers body wrapped in blood stained bands. Night sky killers drop devastation as they explode. Only requiring a single man with a book of codes. 50-50 scoped and spotted ready on its stand. Torn apart families screaming throughout, this is our land. Day time murders acur as a ritual of aim, shoot, and reload. Think about it, every this over a single druglord. Politicians claiming this battle needs to expand. Ofcourse, it's not their little boy getting his possess number brand. lol yeah last time i put it on P&S now i wanna look what the poetry section thinks birdy :)

Ok, in general (i wont brag on myself or underrate myself) i havnt always been the prime in dental care. But my teeth are in general very good condition, I brush upwards of 3 times a day with a oral B electronic toothbrush for approx 3-5mins with peroxicare toothpaste. I also use various mouthwash after every bush (scope and/or listerine), I do (unfourtunately) have slight 'white spots' from drinking regular drinks during my first few months with braces. Ive switched to every diet now. Im pretty sure the 'white spots' are tiny enamel breakdown. And on occasion (I brush my teeth very difficult) my gums will bleed slightly. It does not hurt and im pretty sure its not a gum disease due to the fact that my dentist has said nothing about it. any ideas?normal? **I also use a waterpick once a day at nightime brushing and mouth wash rinsing.

There are certain things, particularly traffic offences, for which a policeman can issue an on the spot fine. Is it fair in your view that a police officer can find you guilty and issue a penalty, as opposed to summary proceedings in a magistrates court? Or is it simply better to remove trivialities from the scope of the court system to leave it more capacity to deal with more serious issues? We know how it works. The question is on the ethical implications of putting every the power in to the hands of one person. You could admit murder to a police officer. But he can't administer a punishment for it. What about the aspect of state-sponsored coercion, ie "pay the £30 fine, or contest it in court and risk a £1000 fine"?

I am 13 right now and I can tell my breath smells when I lick my hand and odor it. I brush my teeth daily. One before I go to school and one before I go to snooze. I use the Crest toothpaste with whitening scope or whatever. I brush my teeth for at least 2 minutes and I reach the back of my tongue and any other spots in my mouth with my toothbrush. I also chew sugarless gum while at school but sometimes, my breath still seems to odor. What else can I do so that my breath doesn't odor? Any tips or what toothpaste I should use?

3 weeks ago I felt a sore throat developing, after one or two days it was full blown. The back of my throat was bright red and had white spots. I thought it would go away after a few days. When it didn't I went to my doctor who did a rapid strep test. That was negative but they treated me with 5 days of Zithromax just in case. In the meantime they did a culture and sent it out. 5 days later I was informed the culture was negative, I did not have strep but the pain was intolerable. Doc said it must be viral there was nothing he could do. He said viral infections go away on their possess in about a week, it had already been a week. 3 days later it had been about a week and a half and I was in so much pain that I couldn't eat or drink ANYTHING. When I tried to drink water to take Tylenol & Advil it felt like someone had clip the back of my throat with glass and I was drinking rubbing alcohol. It stung SO bad. The doc still said there was nothing they could do. Early that morning I went to the ER. They did another rapid strep and culture. Rapid strep was negative. They numbed my throat and looked down it with a scope to make sure I didn't have ulcers or epiglotitis. The ER doc said it was neither, he didn't know what it was. Gave me Magic Mouthwash (maalox and lidocaine) and Penicillin (10 days - 5 liquid @ 4x/day, 5 tablets @ 2x/day). The Magic Mouthwash barely touched the pain. I still could not eat or drink anything. Excruciating pain! Regular doc referred me to an Ear Nose & Throat doctor who said it was canker sores (I don't look how that could be) and gave me an Rx for gel lidocaine to apply directly to the white spots on the back of my throat. That didn't help much. A few days later it just seemed to go away. every in every everything lasted about 2.5 weeks. I was fine, no pain, nothing for a week. Last night the sore throat started again. It isn't bright red yet and I don't have any white spots yet but this is how it started last time and my throat today is more painful than last night. They did a test for oral herpes just to be safe and that came back negative as well. Severe sore throat for 2.5 weeks, nothing touched the pain, Zithromax didn't work, Penicillin may have worked. Everything went away and I was fine for a week. Now the sore throat is back. WHAT COULD BE WRONG WITH ME????? Please help! My fiance and both of our kids have not been sick at every. I mentioned tonsillitis to the doctor and he said it is not that and taking my tonsils out won't do anything. Other than the medications they had me on to receive rid of it before I am not taking anything else. I had been taking Chantix for 2 weeks but stopped it because I wasn't sleeping well. I was off the Chantix for 2 weeks before the sore throat and hadn't had a cigarette in almost a month. The week that I was fine I was not taking any medication. I have not taken any medications for the current sore throat but it keeps getting worse!

I'm going to start a channel with my friends and we will be doing mw2 videos. Here are some of the ideas I already have: Boosting Hunters: We will be hunting boosters and maybe make it a tiny series thing or something. Montages: Montages of like multi-kills, quick scopes, throwing knives, etc. tiny skits: tiny skits of stuff like machinima does. Most likely not going to do as it gets pretty complicated and difficult to create a really good one. Secret Spots: We would show some chilly hiding spots to camp or for something like mike myers. silly Deaths, fails, or Epic kills: Just what it says, a video with one or more of those. Music Video or parody of one: Just what it says. Music copyright might be a problem though. Record private matches: Record private matches of maybe mike myers or quick scoping or something. ______ Those are my ideas. Please, if you have some other ideas, please share. Also, if you have an idea/tip for something that I already said, again, Please say. Thanks in advance!

I know a lot about Marlins, but never fooled around with anything other than a model 80 or better. My parents were stuck and I stopped at a pawn store to receive a tow strap when they called and said some boys got them out. I spotted an almost new looking Model 60 with a BSA 6X scope on it. They wanted 130 USD and I got it for 90 USD. What can you guys tell me about the gun that I don't know from it's long history plus the scope which I know nothing .points go to the best experiennces...

i would like to view 2000mts below the hillstation

Hello, I have a 10" Dob telescope and im in need of some serious upgrades on my eyepieces. I've had the scope for a year now and i have bought a single thing for it. Its basically been collecting dust (with the cap on hehe) for every of spring and most of winter. Reason is my current eyepieces are so limited i cant really look much else from what iv already seen. I wont go into a list of objects but in my red/white zone light pollution its around 4 Galaxy's, 5 or so nebula, and i cant remember how many cluster but its alot the relax is difficult to find mainly because of the light pollution. I want look for the objects i found again but receive better views of them. My current eyepieces are ones i got from buying the scope and a 12 year old 60mm tasco refractor my dad got me when i was a kid. They are 30mm GSO wide angle (68 degree's) included with the dob 9mm GSO Plossl also included with the DOB 25mm Kellner from the refractor 12.5mm Huygen from the refractor 4mm Super Ramsden from the refractor Basically the only good eyepeices i have are the 30mm, 9mm, and sorta the 25mm. The huygens and ramsden are terrible. The Kellner is ok but the fov is tiny around 50 degree's and it has zero multicoating.. Just plain glass and its only 3 element. So basicly my magnifications go from 41x, 50x, 100x, 138, 312x. Mind you i dont really count the 312 and 100 cause those EP are junk. I recently bought a Zhumell Z series Planetary 6mm, supposedly its a good eyepeice for the money and at 200x i now have a better option for planets like Jupiter and stuff. My only problem tho is DSO. The 30mm isnt exactly stellar when looking for them because at 41x Zoom even alot of clusters are difficult to spot.. Anyway i dont want to make this post any bigger then it is. The options im looking at right now are basicly 3 diff eyepeices. One would be the Meade 5000 Plossl 14mm 60 degree FOV would give me a good 89x mag and its only $62. The 2nd would be a Baader Hyperion 13mm or 17mm 68 degree FOV however its rather expensive at $100 and i cant spend that ATM.. The 3rd option would be a Meade 5000 SWA 20mm at $64. So basicly the 2 options im eyeing are the Meade 5k 14mm, or the Meade 5k SWA 20MM.. I havent found a cheap 16mm, since they are discontinued the only 16mm i can find are $100. The 20mm only gives me a 62x mag i dont know if that 20 extra amg will be better then the 41x i already have. The 14mm gives me basicly 90x which i think might be better when looking for DSO only issues is the FOV is tiny. What should i receive Honestly ?

its the weekend and im bored. i cant shoot any high power guns not even a .22 lr because of every the campers and dirtbikers out and about in my shooting spot. ive taken the air rifles back out (hadnt shot them in a little over a year) and its nice if fun again to set a clay pigeon up at 40 yards and try to shoot with open sights. but i want a scope for my one gun its a winchester 1000X it is a spring gun i guess theyre called so its recoil is just the oposite of a real gun which in turn means i cant put a plain rifle scope on because the forwards recoild ruins them because theyre built for backwards recoil. so what do i look for when buying an airgun scope?? what are some good makers? i dont really want to spend much over 60 because its just a gun i shoot when im bored but i dont want a 5 dollar piece of crap http://www.airgundepot.com/cr40tasc4x.html what about that. its basic but it should work? http://www.airgundepot.com/leapers-true-strength-4x32mm-range-estimating-ao-mil-dot.html i like this cope and the one over. which would be best?

I haven't seen any noticeable difference after putting on this attachment. What's the point of it and how does it work?

I'm basically starting to receive very scared of the possibility that I may have throat cancer. I don't have too many of the risk factors (never smoked, don't drink often, 24 years old, mild GERD), but I'm still scared of what this could be. Last Fall I started feeling an uncomfortable feeling in the one side of my throat, like I was swallowing something swollen, that would arrive and go from day to day. Sometimes if I'd burp up some acid, it would burn that entire side of my throat, but not the other side, or at least it feels that way. I thought it may be post nasal drip from allergies. I ended up going to an ENT, who scoped my throat twice, about 2 months ago, and found absolutely nothing. No redness, no swollen areas, tumors, or anything abnormal for that matter. I actually started to feel better, but then about a week ago, when it started getting warm again, every the slight discomfort came back. Then yesterday I woke up with the one side hurting quite a bit, and the swollen feeling back more than ever. I can't look anything, other than a tiny white spot with some redness close the arch of my throat (I also think I may have scratched that part on a pretzel stick). I can't look the ENT for another month again, and am kinda worried since these symptoms every seem to point to cancer. Could it be possible, even with my non-existent risk factors, other than the fact I'm a male, I don't seem to meet any of them. Or is it possibly really badpost nasal drip on that side. Anyone have any ideas in the meantime before I can look the ENT again, so I don't steer myself too crazy? Or should I actually be legitmately worried? Any help/advice is really appreciated since I'm so on edge about every of this.

B&Hphotos has a digital spotting scope that can record and take stills. I was wondering if anyone had one and does it illuminate the sky at night?

Bought a new phone, found an app called Google Sky. Wow. Google sky is your basic star chart with one overwhelming twist. Its in the phone and interfaces with the gps and monition detector, so when the phone is aimed skyward the chart for that portion of the star chart is displayed. This display consist of every manner of useful information, such as a stars name, constellation boundary, azimuth, declination. With a few clicks and an internet connection the entire body of knowledge is available. Using this programing is the apex of backyard star gazing and its free! In my early teens I viewed my first sky chart. (my dad bought a spotting scope.) I was amazed that the Big Dipper was the saddle of the Great Bear I was hooked. I spent 40 plus years gathering information about the sky, learning stars names, distances, visible time frames and the like and now this program puts my knowledge to shame, a ten year old can hold the sky in his hands without even knowing so much as which way north is. I'm torn is this is a good thing or not? It's so awesome that anyone interested in the stars has such a tool at their disposal, but knowledge that is easily gained is also easy forgotten. Your thoughts

I'm thinking about getting the UTG L96 with the $50 upgrade kit on airsoft GI w/ .28 gram BB's and a scope. But I have a few questions before buying these 1. Is a ghillie suite really neccesary? I mean REALLY neccesary 2. Are airsoft snipers good in battle? (In your opinion.) Or would you much rather receive an AEG 3. I'm getting a shotgun as a sidearm (Not a gas pistol) is that good enough? 4. What do you do when your spotted when your sniping? 5. What are some skills needed to be a sniper? 6. Here are my characteristics on the field... tell me if I should be a sniper or not -I like to hide and stay far away, but in the end I'm found and I receive sprayed at -In close quarters I spray a lot -I'm patient -I usally hide close or close to friends -I'm tiny :P -Usally know where my foe is, but I don't shoot them yet. -Have 0% experience with a sidearm What can I improve on the skills over? 7. Is the UTG MK96 Upgrade worth it? 8. Tips for a new sniper? 9. Is the UTG MK96 good? Should I receive something else? (Not the JG Bar 10, it's sold out everywhere!) If I should receive something else, send me a link of the sniper rifle that is better (and affordable) than the UTG MK96 from Airsoftgi.com Please, nocheap brands such as WELL, AGM, etc. Thanks! Please answer! Remember that the best answer will receive chosen! And please, don't give me a stupid answer

Im getting very frustrated because I purchased the Orion Space Probe 3 and it has a red dot finger scope on it. I turn it on and aline it up EXACTLY with the object I am trying to view. It is frustrating because I don't look anything. I have to move it around to different spots until I finally find it. It is very annoying. How can I fix this problem or find things easier?!?!?!

Do you agree or disagree? I had counselors in my time who just didn't have the emotional depth or the experience to understand me at every. The worst are the middle aged ones who've been successfully put through the system and lived normal glad lives. Nice childhood, good school, university, marriage, kids, good respectable job working with "troubled" young people. They have NO clue. They have no experience with domestic violence, drugs, suicide, self hurt, etc, except the role play experiences they've done, and talking to other "troubled" young people. And many of them used to treat me like I was less intelligent than them because I came from a different background, they talked to me like I was a tiny child. Many doctors gave me pills I didn't need (while denouncing drug use as they handed me the prescription). And many tried to find some "cause" for the way I was. Sorry, I have no bombshell to drop. I was never raped or witness to a brutal murder. Or the used my "upsetting" background as the cause, when plenty of people I know went through every the same things I did and never developed depression or problems. While I was going through this, there was a girl in my school (the 15 year old version of the middle class success story), This girl was judgmental, sheltered, innocent in the extreme, no people skills. She was afraid to arrive to my home because of where I lived, had no clue when it came to drugs, self hurt, domestic abuse, working class culture, etc. Her mummy shouted at her once, and this girl used a steak knife to make one measly attention seeking scratch on her arm. This made her think. She wanted to help troubled teenagers like her. She wanted to be a counselor! She even admitted the scratch (and I mean like a scrape from a cat) was to upset her mom. She had no scope. And she couldn't "read" people, if you know what I mean by that. Eventually I got sick of her ramblings about how depressed she was (bull, she was a self centered brat who had been brought up to think she was absolutely wonderful and believed it) and how horrific (her) self hurt ordeal had been I showed her the recent 80 or so mm deep gashes in my arm, and she was horrified, absolutely horrified, disgusted, gobsmacked and thought I was "crazy". Yup the same reaction some of the adult versions of her gave me. I haven't seen her in years, but the thought that girl is now on her way to being a counselor, scares me. Why are we letting this happen to our kids? Letting severely depressed or abused kids be looked after and "counseled" by these people! Like the cases of baby P and various other kids, who's social workers and such were incompetent idiots who thought it would be "lovely" to help kids for a living, but didn't spot the abuse and neglect going on right below their possess noses! My aunt works with kids in a school as a class room assistant, and she can spot the warning signs for an abuse case miles away, having been their herself, she gets these kids's trust and helps them. Often teachers don't notice anything wrong until she notifies the principle who in turn notifies them. Sadly she just doesn't have the money to advance her career. It every makes me so mad! What are your opinions on every this? Do you agree or disagree? I had counselors in my time who just didn't have the emotional depth or the experience to understand me at every. The worst are the middle aged ones who've been successfully put through the system and lived normal glad lives. Nice childhood, good school, university, marriage, kids, good respectable job working with "troubled" young people. They have NO clue. They have no experience with domestic violence, drugs, suicide, self hurt, etc, except the role play experiences they've done, and talking to other "troubled" young people. And many of them used to treat me like I was less intelligent than them because I came from a different background, they talked to me like I was a tiny child. Many doctors gave me pills I didn't need (while denouncing drug use as they handed me the prescription). And many tried to find some "cause" for the way I was. Sorry, I have no bombshell to drop. I was never raped or witness to a brutal murder. Or they used my "upsetting" b something went wrong adding details plus not enough space, so http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100726004120AA57JOs For my answers to what Alex and beauty D had to say

I heard a couple of players in a MW2 lobby talking about MW2's realism, and they every agreed that MW2 is realistic. Why would they think this? - Soldiers don't jump around, shooting their grenade launchers everywhere. - They don't "quick-scope", they find a good scouting spot, set-up their bipods, stay in a prone position at every times, and wait for their opponent. - Stealth Bombers (B-2s in this game) do not fly 100 feet over you, they fly about 30,000+ feet, and only at night. Otherwise, they wouldn't be a "STEALTH" bomber. - A bullet point-blank in the head from a .50 AE Desert Eagle and it doesn't kill them (in normal game modes, not hardcore)? Please. - The Barrett M82 (known as the Barrett .50 Cal) sometimes doesn't kill when shot at the torso (chest) area? That's plain stupid, .50 BMG bullets literally rip you in half. Plus, it's impossible to shoot from the hip with a sniper rifle, because your shots will 99% of the time miss the target. - Afghanistan isn't every desert, Russia isn't every snow and ice, and not every of Rio de Janeiro is a shanty town. - No recoil or sway on some guns while standing? Really? Honestly, the only realistic thing about this game is the graphics. McBane, cease being an idiot. Soldiers DO NOT jump around, and B-2s do not fly 100 ft over the ground, if anyone's a noob, it's you. Phynx577 Halo is classified as "science-fiction first-person shooter", obviously, there isn't much realism to that game, whereas MW2 is classified as a "military first-person shooter". AZ0NSpartan Soldiers do not jump around in combat, weapons DO have recoil, especially when in a standing position.

So I am trying to prepare for elk hunting. I know, it's a few months away and I may be a tad overzealous. But I have never gone elk hunting and I have never camped this long. The season runs from Oct 16th-22 for the General Cascade tag that I have. My plan is to leave on either the 14th or 15th and arrive back the 23rd. So far, I have: Military camouflage clothing An orange hunting vest (not required here yet, but I am a safety freak) Unscented soap, shampoo, and deodorant .356 Win. 94 AE w/ 2 boxes of 200 grain shells .30-06 w/ 2 boxes of 220 grain shells 2 Primo's Elk calls 1 Spotting Scope 1 Range finder Maps of the area I am interested in hunting Camping supplies up the wazoo Hunting backpack that hold my rifle, but not game Schrade Old Henry Buck Knife License and Elk Tag Weather and terrain appropriate attire My pal will go with me. He does not hunt but serves as a spotter and provides me with company. I'll be taking two ATV's with us, so that if I am lucky enough to take down an elk, I have a way to transport it back to camp. Then, I will have to load it up and take it to a pal for dressing, because I have never done that before and am afraid to try it without someone knowledgeable there to guide me. I would like to receive some items before I go: A Canvas tent Camping dutch oven, cover lifter, and a tripod Scent killer I also have decided that I am going to start scouting the area 1 - 2 times per week, starting when bow sea on starts in 3 weeks. Is there anything more I need to receive? How do you prepare for Elk Camp? Thank you for your help. Edit: Oops forgot to list the walkie-talkies. I use a compass, but I'll look into getting a personal GPS. Oh and beer and either whiskey or rum are essentials whenever I go camping! :-) FMJ> Thank you!

This was an interview for a parttime job. I'm still in college but it would be absolutly amazing if I got a job right now as I'm very very low on money. They actually scoped me out and asked me to interview. I went out ot my car, pulled out my resume and also filled out an application on the spot and shortly after had an interview that went extremly well in my opinion. The interviewer/manager said he would call me back for an second interview next week.....well it IS next week and I have heard. It's actually been 5 days after the interiew so I'm wondering is it time to call them back and touch basis about where I stand? What do I say/ask when I call? I don't want to sound desperate, I would just really adore to know where I stand on this job offer.

I'm 32 and in a well paid PR job in the public sector that that has a final salary pension, good working hours and great colleagues. However, there is no scope for progression and I'm desperate to become a communications manager. I've spotted a job that offers everything I want (a pay rise, better decision-making authority and more creativity), but it is a fixed for one year only. Hypothetically, if offered the job, would it be a good idea take it, with the aim of getting the experience I need to progress my career? Or is it too risky, given the current financial climate and lack of jobs out there? I've had some great intervews recently with good feedback, but they've every knocked me back because of lack of top level management skills, despite my project and people management skills.

Sweat in the eyes, blood in the sand. A soldiers body wrapped in blood stained bands. Night sky killers drop devastation as they explode. Only requiring a single man with a book of codes. 50-50 scoped and spotted ready on its stand. Torn apart families screaming throughout, this is our land. Day time murders acur as a ritual of aim, shoot, and reload. Think about it, every this over a single druglord. Politicians claiming this battle needs to expand. Ofcourse, it's not their little boy getting his possess number brand.

Where I used to live there were select popular places people would leave their cars during the daytime that they were trying to sell. They normally had a detailed paper attached to a window with a contact number included. Anyone having grown up in the town knew what back sections of the lot to scope when looking for a car for sale by a private party. So, I have not lived in the Portland area long, but realize this does not seem to happen here and if so, I clearly have not found it. Recently, I started to look for a new car and I have been scope numerous places including: Craigslist (which is normally full of scammers) and lots of recontructed titles, ebayclassifieds.com, and local papers inlcuding oregonlive.com. Can any one give me any tips on where else I may go to find cars for sale by private parties or at least non-dealers with a clean title. This search has been endlessly tiresome and I would just like to find a decent, new-ish car with low mileage, clean title and no major mechanical problems without paying a fortune. No big deal, right? That is what everyone wants!? Well, it has been tough to arrive by. Please let me know if you have any info, tips or advice, especially from locals. I would appreciate it. Also, does anyone know anything about obtaining a dealer's license? I have also considered that route. I appreciate that wallmeis. Yeah, I have arrive upon many scammers on craigslist. I did not know there were so many on there until I had been looking for some while. Basically, they post an ad that either could look true or looks almost too good to be true, and normally display an e-mail real big somewhere in the middle of the page, newest scammers are using big red font. They basically then have your e-mail in which I am not sure what they do with it. I had one answer back to me a bunch of gibberish. They may be selling these e-mails off or possibly sending some of them computer viruses. Not sure, but it's not good. Good to take heed of this if you go onto Craigslist in the future. So what areas of town do they still do the parking lot thing? Guess they never broke down on our old town because it has been a continuous thing for decades. That is the Midwest though and things are different there.

Can I sight in my .22lr half an inch high at 25 yards, and hit around dead on at 50 yards? I know its a vague question, but would this trick work, or what is your advice? My problem is that we don't have a spotting scope, and since 25 yards is easier to look in binoculars, my Dad can help me spot them. Bullet weight: 36 grain HP, Federals 375 pack Drop to 100yards: 5.6 inches (Not sure where they were sighted in at) Its a Single Shot bolt action, and has the potential to be more accurate then I could ever shoot.

Corruption of the Department of Justice is a serious offense and must have serious consequences, irrespective of who is in charge. Obama must make it clear that every laws will be equally enforced in his Administration, and that anybody who, by word or deed of omission or commission, does otherwise will be immediately terminated. The prioritization of each case and the allocation of limited staff, physical, and fiscal resources to a case should be based on objective criteria such as the number and seriousness of the violations, the scope of the practice, whether it occurred below the color of law or the lack of enforcement thereof, and whether it is ongoing, but not subjective criteria such as the politics of the individuals involved or the political consequences of pursuing a case. By these objective standards, the highest priority of the Civil Rights Division of Obama’s DOJ must be pursuing criminal charges against G.W. Bush and his appointees for criminal violations of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 via the corruption of his DOJ in the period 2001-2008. There can be no impeachment proceedings against G.W. Bush, because he no longer holds elective office. However, the statute of limitations on crimes committed by G.W. Bush and his appointees during his presidency is not up. By the Right’s new standard of civil and voter rights justice for Obama’s DOJ, the Right should be outraged by Obama’s hypocrisy if his DOJ does not pursue this case against the former President because of its political consequences. Conversely, the lowest priority and fewest resources should be assigned to an isolated incident by a tiny group of agitators who will be arrested on the spot if they try it again. Here are the relevant website references for your consideration. http://michellemalkin.com/2010/07/13/have-your-facts-megyn-kelly-vs-kirsten-powers-on-nbpp-thug-case/ http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/185556/new-black-panther-party-voter-intimidation-case-dismissal-part-iii/peter-kirsanow http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/07/09/new-black-panther-leader-defends-group-voter-intimidation-case/ http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/may/29/career-lawyers-overruled-on-voting-case/?feat=home_cube_position1 http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2010/07/obama-has-violated-his-oath-of-office-in-racist-dept-of-justice-decision-to-drop-new-black-panther-p.html If the decision was based on political considerations, such as not wanting to revisit the ACORN case in another guise, then the Obama Administration would be guilty of the same offense that the G.W. Bush Administration was guilty of – politicizing justice at the DOJ. Nevertheless, even if this allegation is true, there is no evidence that this policy of not pursuing allegations of voter intimidation against people of color in the Civil Rights Division of Obama’s DOJ exists or, if it exists, that it comes from the White home. There is no question that hiring and firing in G.W. Bush’s DOJ was based on a conservative values litmus test and that cases against prominent Republican politicians were either not pursued or delayed until after an election. This was also true of decisions not to pursue numerous cases of Republican voter registration irregularities and voter intimidation prior to, during, and after the 2000 and 2004 Presidential elections. The Republican-dominated Congress failed to investigate any of these irregularities. Only when the Democrats took over did the systematic corruption of the DOJ arrive below official Congressional scrutiny. Nevertheless, as Megyn Kelly correctly observes in her answer to Kristen Powers, two wrongs do not make a right, tacitly conceding that DOJ injustices were committed by the previous administration. If we score one for Megyn Kelley on the argument that two wrongs don’t make a right, we must score one for Kristen Powers on her arguments regarding the inconsistencies of the Right on the issue of the politicizing of the DOJ. She infers from the evidence at hand that the outrage from the Right over the alleged corruption of the Obama Administration’s DOJ appears to be manufactured, is disproportionate to the alleged offense, and is hypocritical relative to the standards of behavior applied to the previous Administration. If, as some on the Right are now demanding, Obama should be impeached for violating his oath of office over this issue, even though there is no evidence that Obama had any direct or indirect involvement in the dismissals or downgrading of charges or injunctions, shouldn’t these same standards of behavior apply to G.W. Bush?

A warning for those TTC and looking for implantation bleeding. Scope out your TP before wiping lol I thought maybe I saw implantation bleeding a few days ago, however today I noticed on the TP they have at work has a pink spot to it, not always on every sheet though. They are pin point dots that are pinkish red. I caught one today and it was identical to what I saw the other day, however I caught this one before I used it lol I googled it up and it is common with TP that may have been recycled. So I thought I would pass on this info. Other women have thought they had experienced implantation bleeding before and figured out it was the TP :( I re-posted this because I wasn't sure if anyone saw it a day or so ago. Yes, very true. I have two kid's and I don't remember having any implantation with either one at every :)
