Anyone have any experience with the Hornet in a Contender? I have a 14" .223 barrel and while I know the Hornet isnt anything like the .223, the Hornet's appeal is that I can load it down to somewhere between a .22 LR and a .223..... any one have any experience in that?
It seems like it would make a nice short-medium range gopher popper but I could probably get the same effect with a .22 or .17 Mag. I like the idea of being able to reload for it since I could, in theory, load some very mild loads for it that would be much quieter than a .223. It would also be a nice choice for popping turkeys in the head I would imagine.
So, heres the question - if I have a .223 in a 14" is there any real advantage (other than just wanting it) to getting a carbine length .22 Hornet barrel?
In 1215, hetero-gender marriage was officially declared a sacrament by the Western Catholic Church...In contrast, the homo-gender marriage service was from the beginning performed in a church, and was always thought of as sacramental. There is no evidence that there was ever a public form of the service. It always involved consent. The homo-gender service almost certainly pre-dates as a religious service any hetero-gender one.
From the book description on Amazon:
A main argument against homosexual unions has been that they are incapable of fulfilling all that constitutes "marriage", as dictated by a peculiar modern romantic cult of heterosexual love: monogamous erotic passion, procreation, housekeeping and friendship. However, what emerges from Boswell's examination of what the "conjugal alliance" has meant to different societies through the ages, is that male-female marriage itself was never expected to fulfil all these needs.
I just posted about this on Facebook, so you may see it twice. And if you don't see it twice it means we should be friends on Facebook.

bad_sex, the OP gives us a warning:"Warning, this story contains omission of illegal activities."
The story goes on to talk about getting high and having bad sex, as per the community name. Now, had she, well, omitted the illegal activities, I would find this a clever reference to unmentionables. However, I think unless the OP means she has not disclosed all of her illegal activities, this is a wrong word and she meant "admission". ETA: Possibly "commission".
Anybody seen one of these around town? Anywhere is fine.

Title
Provide Alternate Methods Of Modifying Friend Groups For Journals and Communities
Short, concise description of the idea
Provide alternate methods of modifying friend groups for journals and communities by revamping the editgroups.bml page or allow additional commands in the admin console.
Full description of the idea
Some users and communities utilize the friend group option to set privileges in regards to tagging posts. There are currently two methods to set the friend groups:
1) The editgroups.bml page (http://www.livejournal.com/friends/edi
2) The admin console (http://www.livejournal.com/admin/conso
The above two methods do not work, however, if you have a very large friend's list or if you have many members in your community. In order to even set-up a group, you need to visit the editgroups.bml page. If you have a lot of friends / members, the page won't even load to create a group (because the current behavior is to list out every single friend / member users have).
Therefore, for those with many friends and members, I suggest that LiveJournal modify the method in which friend groups can be made. Here are a couple ideas which may be feasible:
1) Make it so the editgroups.bml page does not have to load every single friend / member you have at once. Possibly make it load a partial list at a time and then you can flip through and assign users to friend groups.
2) Make it so that groups (for both journals and communities) can be initially set-up using the admin console.
3) Make it so the admin console can be used for communities. Currently users can add / remove members using the "friend add / remove user group" command, for example. Communities cannot use this or any command.
- Large communities and those with many friends will finally have the ability to set-up groups.
- Large communities and journals can finally take advantage of setting it up so only certain users can tag posts.
- Users who use alternative access methods (such as screen readers, voice command software, mobile devices, mouseless-input, etc.) would be able to use the editgroups.bml page (provided the way it loads is modified) or be able to use the 'Friend Groups' function via other methods.
- More efficient methods for all users / journals to access / utilize friend groups.
- Time for developers to research and put something into place
Title
Disallow Journal Inheritance
Short, concise description of the idea
Prevent people from inheriting ownership of a journal when they receive a recycled email address previously used to open a journal.
Full description of the idea
In working in Support I've noticed that a lot of people make "unsubscribe me" requests, not knowing their email account was recycled from a previous LiveJournal user. They are instructed that they are the journal owner as the owner of the email address.
Instead of encouraging these non-LiveJournal users from deleting another person's journal, I'd like to see a way of dissociating the email address from the journal. That way if the user is still around and still has the password or secret question, they can recover their account.
- Users won't write to support asking who deleted their account.
- Abandoned accounts that were useful to the general community won't be unnecessarily deleted.
- As a permanent account holder, I won't have to worry if I die that my account will be wiped out by the next person to inherit my current email account. (Yes, I know that an account can be marked "memorial", but that requires a tech savvy family member who knows to ask.)
- More unwanted or unaccessable accounts may be retained.
- Users asking for "unsubscribe me" might not take the time to explain that they have never been LiveJournal users in the first place.
Title
Accidental Deleted Entries
Short, concise description of the idea
I'd like LJ to automatically save entries more often.
Full description of the idea
I use Firefox and I can't tell you how many times I have lost an entry because I hit the "delete" key and instead of deleting the previous character, it functions as a "back page" button. I could go into Word, type up my entry, and then post it, but I'd rather not do that when I don't have similar problems when I use other blogging services like wordpress.com
- - More posting
- Less frustration
- I'd I feel like LJ is no longer so far behind technologically-speaking. I feel like LJ is way behind other blogging sites, like wordpress or blogger. For example, wordpress tracks how many people see your blog. Not only can LJ not do that, I feel like it was designed for Windows 2000 and very little has changed.
- - Costs additional money to implement
Title
Modify Membership Request Emails To Include More Information About Users
Short, concise description of the idea
Modify the membership request e-mails to include more information about users. This will make it possible to tend to requests from e-mail, rather than the "Pending Membership Requests" page.
Full description of the idea
This suggestion stems from two earlier suggestions: "User Profile in Membership Request Emails" and "Modify 'Pending Membership Requests' Page...".
As most community maintainers who tend to membership requests know, this can be a tedious job. With the current membership request e-mails, there is not enough information about users to make an approve / reject decision. The same goes for the "Pending Membership Requests" page which not only does not have a lot of information about users, maintainers have to view profiles one-by-one if they want to learn more.
Based on the above, I would like to put forth another suggestion in an attempt to make tending the membership requests easier. This is based off of the current Twitter e-mail update, which is sent anytime users have a new friend / follower. Below is an example of such update, which includes basic information about users such as friends / followers and updates / tweets.
Integrating LiveJournal information along with the Twitter template above, I suggest the membership request e-mails could look like the following:
As you can see in the above mock-up, the e-mail would give basic, more useful information about users. Often times journal creation dates, comment statistics, number of friends, and age determine whether someone will be approved or not. The information is basic and condensed and should not be of concern for those concerned with privacy. It only draws from information that is elected to be displayed in the profile. (For example, if someone has chosen the option to not display their birth date in their profile, then it would show up as blank or "-" in the membership request e-mail.)An ordered list of benefits
- Membership requests will actually have enough useful information that maintainers can make decisions from their in-box, as opposed to visiting the membership request page (which is not exactly user-friendly).
- With the revised e-mail template, maintainers can even tend to membership requests from their mobile device.
- Convenient / quicker than having to visit each individual profile to find information.
- Especially beneficial for communities with high traffic / number of requests.
- This template could be applied for regular friend requests on LiveJournal--dual use.
- Privacy concerns - but as noted in the suggestion, it only draws from information that is elected to be displayed in the profile and it is kept basic. For example, if someone has chosen the option to not display their birth date in their profile, then it would show up as blank or "-" in the membership request e-mail.
- Time and programming for the e-mail / compiling the statistics for the e-mail.
- Concern that e-mails might be forwarded to / accessed by other people.
- Need to consider those who do not get HTML e-mails / messages.
- Would only be used by maintainers who receive e-mail updates. Am unsure as to the number of maintainers who use this for their communities.
Title
Syn account URL edit request form
Short, concise description of the idea
There should be a form linked from the profile page of syndicated accounts that users can use to request the source URL be edited, much like the suggestion proposal generator or Abuse report form.
Full description of the idea
It's documented in the FAQs that syndicated accounts can have their source URL changed by opening a Support Request in the syndication category. This often results in people opening requests that don't have all of the required information (unfortunately,) which means that volunteers have to investigate further and which makes the lag time in changing the URL longer than it should be.
I'm suggesting that, on every syndicated account's profile page, a link appear that says something like "(Request a change in this account's source URL)". This link would direct the user to a form like the abuse report form, which would populate with the syndicated account name, then ask the user to provide the URL to the new syndicated account, and to enter any other details that the user wanted to provide. The form would then verify that the site is reachable and that the user provided a link to the new RSS feed (not just to the site), then would open a Support Request for the user, already containing the necessary information and the necessary console command to make the change.
This way, Support Volunteers would only have to verify that the new feed contains the same content as the old feed, and then copy and paste the command to actually make the change in URL.
- Less burnout for Support Volunteers answering these types of requests.
- Faster response to URL change requests.
- Likely, a better directory of syndicated accounts, since the current change process isn't easily accessible unless you read documentation for fun. This results in a lot of stale syndicated accounts.
- Requires coding of a new page and editing the profile page, both of which would likely not be high development priorities.
- Less technically-oriented users may not be able to find the RSS feed for the new site's address (this would be mitigated, at least somewhat, if the reporting form used the same logic that the /syn/ page does to auto-detect RSS feeds.)
- There's a potential for frivolous/abusive edit requests if there isn't any rate limiting by account as far as using the page goes.
This story is RIDICULOUS! I hate that hate groups are allowed to hide behind a religious facade, as if that makes them more legitimate.
SALT LAKE CITY — A gay couple say they were detained by security guards on a plaza owned by the Mormon church and later cited by police, claiming it stemmed from a kiss on the cheek.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said that the men became argumentative and refused to leave after being asked to stop their "inappropriate behavior." The men say they were targeted because they are gay.
Matt Aune said he and his partner, Derek Jones, were walking home from a concert nearby on Thursday night, cutting through the plaza near the Salt Lake City Mormon temple.
Aune, 28, said he gave Jones, 25, a hug and kiss and that the two were then approached by a security guard, who asked them to leave, telling them they were being inappropriate and that public displays of affection aren't allowed on the property. He said other guards arrived and the men were handcuffed.
"We asked what we were doing wrong," Aune told The Associated Press.
Church spokeswoman Kim Farah said in a statement Friday that the men were "politely asked to stop engaging in inappropriate behavior _ just as any other couple would have been."
"They became argumentative and used profanity and refused to leave the property," she said. The church did not immediately respond to a request for more comment.
Police later arrived and both men were cited with misdemeanor trespassing, Salt Lake City Police Sgt. Robin Snyder said.
"It doesn't matter what they were asked to leave for," Snyder said. "If they are asked to leave and don't they are ... trespassing."
The church has been the target of protests over its support of a ban on gay marriage in California.

But my question is, is it true that there are companies that will come take my dead/unwanted vehicle and give me cash for it? anyone have any experience as to a reputable company? I'm assuming it doesn't matter if its not Oregon plates on the van?
Also, if anyone knows a cheap way to get a vehicle towed under 2 miles, would you please inform me?
thanks awesome ppl
We're considering going to Frenchman's Bar Park for a picnic and swimming, but I'm a little concerned the river might be too damn cold! Our second option is Vancouver Lake which is generally pretty warm.

The issue of contraception is coming more and more to the forefront in the abortion debate, most recently by Ruth Bader Ginsburg's speculation to the New York Times Magazine that widespread access of the morning-after pill would render abortion obsolete.
Do you agree or disagree that the contraceptive issue is tied to the abortion issue?
Why or why not?
Do you think pro-lifers should accentuate or ignore contraception in our discussion of the sanctity of life?

The picture itself is a dead giveaway, but if you’re a total dumb dumb about tennis like me — you might find this totally unguessable. There’s a lot of pictures of this gloriously hairy chest out there on the interwebs, but I have chosen this particular one because it is dry, fluffy and ready! (more…)

I'm about 5 months pregnant.
We're expecting our 2nd son (another boy! so excited!) around Thanksgiving.
Many people have asked why I waited so long to tell. I just told my Facebook followers less than 2 weeks ago! Well, I'm just weird like that :) At this point, if you saw me in person, I am clearly pregnant. But I'm still slowly telling people. I waited a long time to tell with Bear (I showed much later with him). I'm also sure that having a miscarriage in January added to my hesitation, as we found out we were expecting again less than 8 weeks later.
I've been feeling great - so good, in fact, I was sure I was having a girl! Women who have had lots of children often say they can tell by the characteristics of their pregnancy whether or not it's a boy or a girl. But since my diet is completely different than when I was gestating Bear (we're wheat-free, dairy-free now and a lot more raw foods!), I think that has contributed to my health. I had to give up green smoothies for the most past for the first 16 weeks or so because they made me sick. Very strange since I had no other aversions except for coffee (which happened with Bear as well). I still have to be very careful when I drink them because they make my blood sugar crash, which makes me nauseous.
So that's the big news :) I'll still be posting recipes and updates, and there are already plenty of recipes to surf on this blog. And I'll be sharing with you my birth plans (VBAC!), as well as processing my last birth and what we'll be doing differently this time.
Now - off to the farmer's market!
I’d heard about them on “Oprah,” and some of the girls down at Marcelle’s Salon made jokes about them, but nothing prepared me for the day my husband told me he was … a plushie.
“It’s just something I have to do,” he said, “it’s part of who I am.” I tried to accept it, but the thought of Bob fantasizing about plush animals, even dressing up as one? It all seemed so weird. But with patience and counseling, we worked past our pain, and now our marriage is stronger than ever.
Thank you so much for sharing, Judy H.
