Good for you!!! Other quick questions or insight you could provide on.....
he never explained why clindamycin. in fact, looking back through the notes from the various conversations i have jotted down that flagyl and clindamycin aren't the best for group b. but then he recommended it. he is pretty casual about which ones he recommends! he specifically said clindamycin the last time we spoke, and we discussed that i am definitely positive for group b. he thinks, however, that the likely more serious culprit is chlamydia, even though i haven't tested positive for it. again, i think the big idea is to hit the system with 2 different strong, broad antibiotics. he said that i could substitute flagyl 1/2 mg 2x a day for the clyndamycin.
so with the huge caveat that i am not a doctor, i don't think that 100mg of doxy once a day is enough. in a previous conversation he said 1 month of doxy 100 mg 2x a day followed by 2 weeks of ampicillan or amoxycillin 500 mg 3x day. all this makes me believe that it doesn't matter all that much which antibiotic, but i do think the dose has to be enough to give you a good wallop and i worry your 1x a day isn't.
he went on to tell me this last time we spoke that 3 days before missed period if you think you are pregnant (!) you should take 10 days of arythromax or erythromycin, then 2 months off, then 10 days on of either erythromycin or doxy or clindamycin again. sticking with the 10 days on 2 months off plan throughout the pregnancy, alternating the antibiotic.
your partner has to follow the same protocol you do, or you'll pass whatever you have back and forth and defeat the purpose.
he says the doses are on his website, but i haven't looked.
he also likes steroids in the mix, as he said that they make the bacteria grow making them more susceptible to the antibiotics.
and i'm afraid i don't have any advice as to when to start. i just started taking them as soon as i could get my hands on a prescription. i will be finishing up the clindamycin around ovulation, and i'm worried it would be better to be on ABs around implantation, but... i can't take them forever so that is that. anyway, i hope all my semi-informed ramblings here are more helpful than not
do you mind sharing the details of how you were successful with ABs? thank you!!

Night after Night: Feb. 06, 2013
Updated 1:01 pm, Wednesday, February 6, 2013
More recommended shows from our music writers:
The Yippee-Ki-Yay Cabaret, Marco Cholo Jazz Five at Boneshakers. It's vaudeville time at Boneshakers. The Yippee-Ki-Yay Cabaret troupe comes in from the San Francisco Bay Area with a mythic tale about a town in trouble. Expect the unexpected, including western-style circus acts, comedy, shadow puppets, the dance troupe Zombie Bazaar and the jazz of the Marco Cholo Jazz Five. Now that's entertainment.
Broken Teeth at Nightrocker Live. Some choose to trip the light fantastic. Austin's Broken Teeth, led by hard rocker Jason McMaster, instead offers to "Viva La Rock, Fantastico." Imagine the hell raisin' spirit of Texas infusing AC/DC, and you've got the Broken Teeth sound. The band was formed in 1999 with members of Dangerous Toys, Dirty Looks and Pariah. The new single "Devil on the Road" says it all. The headliner is joined by Devilistic and Sinthetic 1. There's definitely a theme going on.
Bobby Marquez at Leon Springs Dance Hall. Freer native and former San Antonian moved to Nashville to chase his dream, and part of it came true when George Strait recorded his song "The Marlboro Man" for his next album. Marquez will play a rodeo kickoff dance at 8:15 p.m.
Tony Booth at the Floresville Event Center in Floresville. Classic country singer, whose hits include "The Key's in the Mailbox" and "A Whole Lot of Something," will perform at the Floresville Opry — on his birthday — for an early Valentine's Day dance at 6 p.m. $7. Call 830-393-6512. Proceeds benefit the Wilson County Historical Society.
Jim Cullum Jazz Band featuring Allen Vaché at Bohanan's (at the Boardwalk Bistro on Friday, Christ Episcopal Church on Sunday at 11 a.m.). Call it a jazz homecoming. Globe-trotting clarinetist Vaché, a member of the Cullum band from 1975 to 1992, is coming back to S.A. for a brief visit and a few gigs with the storied keepers of the traditional-jazz flame.

King Pelican, Los #3 Dinners at Nightrocker Live. Nightrocker goes rock 'n' roll old-school with this double header. King Pelican does instrumental/surf music. The Dinners are the reigning kings of area garage rock and good-time party rock straight outta the neighborhood. King Pelican moves to The Cove on Saturday.
J D Emmanuel at Artpace (6:18 p.m.). You read that 6:18 p.m. correctly. It's a sunset rooftop concert. Emmanuel, from the Houston area, also known as "The Time Traveler," makes electronic music that, according to his Web site, "can put the listener into a state where time seems to disappear." Known for his electronic compositions as well as meditation music, Emmanuel certainly crafts original music.
Cher La-Bas at Leon Springs Dance Hall. San Antonio-based Cajun quintet complete with fiddle and accordion, which can throw in a little old-school country and '60s-style swamp pop, will celebrate Mardi Gras at 8 p.m.
Memphis May Fire, For Today, The Word Alive, Upon a Burning Body, Gideon at White Rabbit. Memphis May Fire comes in from Dallas with a fusion of hardcore and emo. For Today, from Iowa, is a Christian metalcore band that assaults eardrums while soothing souls with albums such as "Fearless" and "Devastator."
James McMurtry, The Infidels at John T. Floore Country Store. McMurtry is closer to a Texas troubadour that a Texas rocker, but he and his band bring plenty of punch and power in which to wrap McMurtry's no-nonsense, common-sense populist lyrics. The Infidels will open with their sharp-edged folk/rock.
Rudy Tee & the Reno Bops, Ronny Tee at St. Pius X Catholic Church (3909 Harry Wurzbach Road, 8 p.m., $40 per couple). The church's Valentine's dance features the golden oldies, and still-soulful dance moves, of long-running rock 'n' roller/R&B singer Tee and his Reno Bops. Listen for Tee hits such as "All I Could Do Was Cry," "La Palma" and "Cry, Cry."
The Trishas, Courtney Patton at Sam's Burger Joint. Bringing harmonies and a fresh take on country/rock/pop and tunes from their debut CD "High, Wide & Lonesome," the quartet is turning heads and ears across the state. They are Liz Foster; Jamie Wilson, formerly of The Gougers; Kelley Mickwee, formerly of Jed & Kelley; and Kevin Welch's daughter Savannah Welch. Patton will open.
Bill Kirchen & Too Much Fun, Turnpike Troubadours, Shane Smith at Gruene Hall. Kirchen, the guitarist behind Commander Cody & The Lost Planet Airmen's classic "Hot Rod Lincoln," mixes roots rock, rockabilly and country. It's a no-cover show at 1 p.m. Shane Smith will open at 9 p.m. for the Turnpike Troubadours, the Red Dirt band whose single "Wrecked" is No. 10 and climbing on the Texas Music chart. Last year, "Gin, Smoke, Lies" topped the chart and was one of the 50 most-played songs.
Bobby Jordan & The Ridgecreek Band at Kendalia Dance Hall. Veteran country singer, who knows how to get couples to cuddle while two-stepping with his original songs and classic covers, will play an early Valentine's Day dance at 8 p.m.
Billy Mata & The Texas Tradition at Pat's Hall in Fredericksburg. Another pre-Valentine's Day dance is on tap at 8 p.m. with Mata, the award-winning western swing singer who played to a sellout crowd when the historic hall reopened in July.
Cactus Country at Quihi Gun Club & Dance Hall. While the quintet has some upcoming gigs on the grounds of the Stock Show & Rodeo, band leader Tony Franckowiak is asking fans to dress in their rodeo duds to help kick it off.
Lonely Horse, Pop Pistol at 502 Bar. Musicians of all genres know well there are certain events with which they'd be wise to not compete — the Super Bowl, a Spurs championship run, a blizzard, a hurricane, to name a few. Sunday, the return of the third season of the overwhelming hit AMC zombie series "Walking Dead" will draw a whole lot of viewers. So hard-working, and smart, rockers Pop Pistol and Lonely Horse will turn this gig into an 8 p.m. "Walking Dead" viewing party followed by music at 9:30. Admission is free for the viewing party, $5 if you stay for the concert.
Murs, Prof, Fashawn at The Korova. Since he came out of Los Angeles in the early '90s, rapper Murs balanced group work with solo releases. He's also done a good job of walking the tightrope between the underground and the mainstream. Murs' latest releases are "Love + Rockets Vol. 1: The Transformation" and "The Final Adventure." Fashawn grew up rough in Fresno, Calif., but channeled his energy into hard work in the rap game and well-received albums such as "Boy Meets World" and "This Generation." Prof also weathered a tough childhood in Minneapolis, but still brings weird humor and a reportedly revved-up stage show to rap. His Kaiser Von PowderhornÖ mixtapeÖ series has pulled in lots of fans.
Terror, H2O, Backtrack, Code Orange Kids at The Ten Eleven. Terror, out of Los Angeles, has been firing up hardcore for more than a decade. Tireless on the road and prolific when it comes to recording, Terror is giving previews of its sixth studio album, "Live by the Code" (Victory), set for release in April. Co-headliners H2O came out of New York in the mid-'90s with all-out punk. The band has not mellowed.
Silverstein at White Rabbit. Canadian rock band kicks skater-punk and Jimmy Eat World sensibility up several notches with grindcore and screamo elements. Somehow the melody stays intact. It will be, however, a loud and noisy night, as the Warped Tour seasoned band arrives to promote the new 14-song album, "This Is How the Wind Shifts." Go to silverstein%music.com to hear new tracks "Stand Amid the Roar" and "Massachusetts." The lineup includes Like Moths to Flames, Secret Issues and Glass Cloud.
Miss Neesie & the Ear Food Orchestra at the Cove. Fat Tuesday is the witching hour for this horn-fueled ensemble that lives to re-create and celebrate the Big Easy vibe with a fun mix of zydeco, blues, swamp pop and Cajun music. No doubt there will be dancing and plenty of audience participation percussion. Free.
Alex Meixner at Brauntex Theatre, New Braunfels. Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist is a polka king when it comes to the piano accordion and its three-row button counterpart. Meixner, a mainstay at Wurstfest, is a high-energy showman who plays a wide range of music, from zydeco, rock and blues to country, jazz and German favorites. For a quick taste, check out "Polka Freak Out." He's a superstar 'round these parts.

Laptop and Notebook Buying Guide
A laptop is the ideal replacement for your desktop computer. The greatest advantage of a laptop is its portability. Unlike desktop computers, you can easily move a laptop around your home, carry it to work or class and take it with you when you travel. Laptops are a big investment, so before buying one, you should consider many factors like the manufacturer, performance and features.
What kind of laptop user are you?
A home user wants all the features of a desktop PC in the form of a notebook. If you are a home user, then choose a notebook which is easy to carry and comes with the most basic computer applications. Students should opt for an affordable laptop which is light and durable. Frequent fliers need slim notebook models with long-lasting batteries. A business user should purchase a laptop with plenty of hard disk space and advanced security features while a gamer needs a fast processor and the latest graphics card.
What are the different kinds of laptop computers available?
Laptops for Entertainment:
Multimedia laptops are always more expensive and heavier than your standard model. These laptops come with a powerful processor, abundant memory and a large hard drive. You can use these laptops as a mobile DVD player, MP3 jukebox and a digital photo album. If you buy a TV tuner card, you can even use your multimedia notebook as a television set. These notebooks are ideal for PC gaming.
Laptops for Business:
Laptops especially designed for business use are ultra portable. These laptops are durable and more secure than the basic laptop. They are best suited for consumers who are always on the move. A good business laptop should offer a fingerprint reader or SmartCard support to prevent data theft. These notebooks usually have advanced computer applications and wireless capabilities, so you can work even when you are away from your desk.
Laptops for Home:
The home user typically uses a laptop for checking mail and browsing the web. These laptops perform general tasks. A high speed processor is an unnecessary luxury and tends to be wasted on most home users. Opt for a notebook with at least a 14-inch screen and a comfortable keyboard. These laptops are generally heavy, weighing more than 4 kg at times. Their average battery life is less than three hours.
What constitutes a good laptop?
If you are going to use your laptop extensively, then you need to be comfortable with the keys. Try a laptop with slightly larger keys to avoid straining your fingers from typing. Most laptops come with a touch pad or a tracking pointer instead of a mouse. If you are a PC gamer, buy a separate mouse which can keep up with the fast-paced action on screen.
Operating Systems:
The Windows XP Media Center Edition is a good operating system for entertainment laptops. It makes optimal use of multimedia features like TV tuners, radio tuners and media players. If you are a professional who prefers Apple notebooks but are concerned about compatibility, check out the dual boot models by Apple that allow you to install and run Windows as well as Mac OS X. If you prefer PCs, Microsoft Vista is an ideal alternative to Windows XP. Vista comes in several editions, including Vista Home Basic and Vista Home Premium for the home user, Vista Business for the professional and Vista Ultimate for the best of both worlds.
Memory and Storage:
All data and applications are stored in the RAM (random access memory). Many laptops commonly use 256 MB of RAM. Most business laptops and entertainment laptops come with 512 MB or more of RAM. The more RAM you buy, the more data you can store.
The hard drive stores all programs and files. For the average home user, a 20 GB hard drive will more than suffice. If you buy a laptop for entertainment or business purposes, a 60 GB hard drive will better serve your needs. Some entertainment laptops even have multiple hard drives for better performance. Hard drives come with different speeds. Most laptop hard drives have a speed of 5,400 rpm. However, faster hard drives go up to 7,200 rpm.
The size of a laptop is based on the size of the screen. Screen size starts as small as 10.6 inches and goes up to 20 inches diagonally. Most laptops have an LCD monitor. However, if you are using your laptop for CAD, a CRT monitor will serve you just as well, if not better. The screen resolution determines the crispness of your image. A 12.1 inch display uses WXGA resolutions (1,280 by 800). A 14 or 15 inch display typically uses WSXGA+ (1680 by 1,050), although a small number of notebook computers use WUXGA (1,920 by 1,200) instead.
It is more difficult to upgrade a notebooks processor than it is to upgrade a desktop computer. For this reason, you should buy a processor with a speed that will best suit your use. Also, it is wise to choose a processor with less battery consumption. Processors with 1.4 to 1.6 Ghz are preferred by most users.
Lithium ion batteries are commonly used in laptops. The average battery life is about 3 hours. It takes around 75 minutes to fully recharge a lithium ion battery.
Graphics Card:
A graphics card, sometimes referred to as a video adapter, is responsible for generating the images you see on a laptops display. For businessmen who need to do lot of presentations, a graphics card containing 32 or 64 MB of dedicated memory is the right choice. There are also specially designed cards for gaming. These cards are expensive and should be avoided unless you require excellent graphics.
USB Ports:
Laptop computers come with at least one USB port so that you can connect peripherals to the notebook. Recent models have a FireWire connection that lets you transfer digital information from camcorders or MP3 players.
Optical Drives:
Most laptops come with either a CD-ROM (compact disc, read-only memory), a CD-RW (compact disc, re-writeable) or a DVD-ROM (digital versatile disc, read-only-memory). The DVD+RW/+R with CD-RW is a combination drive which will read a CD or a DVD and write data to a DVD as well.
Laptops are available with integrated modems for dial-up connections, Ethernet ports for cable internet and DSL and wireless modems for Wi-Fi connections. Many business laptops also have a cellular wireless modem so you can browse at broadband speeds with just a mobile phone signal.

Computers Are So Easy To Operate There Is No Longer An Excuse For Anyone Not To Own One
These days hearing a person say I'm just not computer literate will earn them a funny look from just about everyone. Computers have evolved from the archaic scientific calculators that took up most of a room to a simple point-and-click machine that fits on most desks. One theory is that most of today's computer illiterates have not taken the time to experiment with a computer and if given half a chance (or 20 minutes whichever comes first) the most adamant technological caveman will become a junkie wreaking havoc in chatrooms all over the internet.
The skills needed to use a computer today are: manipulating a mouse, punching a few buttons on a keyboard, and knowing how to turn the thing on. Simple right? So let's have some fun and see just how little knowledge these thousand dollar machines actually require.
Let's start with the mouse. Can someone who has never seen a computer before operate it without knowing how to use a mouse? Only if the computer is set up to operate on voice command. Voice command software allows a user to tell the computer exactly what to do and the computer does it. Although this software is fairly new and still under development, voice directed technology has already infiltrates consumer service related systems.
What is a consumer Service related system and how do I know if I have used one? Think back to the last time you tried to pay a bill over the phone. Instead of speaking to a human being, chances are you spoke to a computer that only responded to what you said and offered you options such as press 1 for English. It may have also asked you for additional information such as your full name or credit card number, in which case you have just operated a computer without even realizing it!
Next let's take a look at the keyboard. Can someone who has never seen a computer before operate it without knowing how to use a keyboard? Only if the computer is set up to operate on a touch command. Touch command software allows a user to literally touch the objects on the screen to tell the computer what to do. These types of touch screens are known as kiosks and are already in use worldwide in such places as ATM machines, employment centers and in many health monitoring systems.
For this type of system neither a mouse nor a keyboard is required; a user need only touch the various boxes on the screen to control the computer. The programming behind this technology is extensive and advanced, but for the user the computer becomes less intimidating and just plain easy to use.
Of course when operating a computer there is usually more involvement than just speaking on the phone or touching a screen. The illustrations above are just a couple of examples of the growth of computer technology and how far user friendliness has been pushed. Eventually the keyboard and mouse will have to play a role when a computer newbie has to work with a cash register, a hotel booking program, or a library's catalog system but that doesn't make the computer any easier to operate, but it doesn't make them harder to operate either.
How to Restore Your Dell Computer to Factory Settings
There can be several reasons for you to decide to restore your Dell computer to default factory settings. Reformatting the hard drive, unnecessary hardware change, computer performance, or virus infection are some of the popular reasons of the Dell computer restore. Irrespective of what prompted you to take up the restore decision, you must understand that it is a delicate procedure. Hence, you should do it properly to avoid encountering Dell computer problems during the procedure.
Considering this, we have designed this free Dell computer support guide that walks you through the procedure step-by-step to help you restore your Dell computer to factory settings.
Before beginning, you must back up your entire data including files, programs, folders, settings, configurations etc. Since restoring the computer to original state wipes out the entire existing data, backup allows you to have it back afterwards and saves you from the hassles. Besides, you must login as an administrator to your computer to carry out this procedure. Failing to which will not let you make any such change.
Now that you are ready to take a stroll, let's begin. Detach any printer, router, or other such peripheral which is currently connected to your computer. You can restore your computer in two ways viz. without the disk and with the disk. If you have a Dell system Recovery disk (it's different from the Dell setup disk), you can use it to do the restore. The disk must have come with your original Dell computer setup kit.
We have first explained the procedure without using the Dell system Recovery disk. Restart your computer and immediately start pressing the F8 key on the keyboard. You must start tapping the key before the Windows logo appears. Continuously tap the key until you see the Advanced Boot Options menu on the screen. When in the menu, click to choose the Repair Your Computer option and then hit the Enter key. Use the Down arrow key to reach this option.
On the next screen, select your preferred language settings and hit the Next button. When prompted, enter your admin credentials like password and/or username. Hit the OK button to continue. When in the System Recovery Options window, click the Dell Factory Image Restore link and hit Next. Click to check the box beside Yes, reformat hard drive and restore system software to factory condition and hit the Next button. This will initialize the procedure.
Wait while the computer is being restored to the original factory settings. When finished, hit the Finish button to mark completion of the procedure. Your Dell computer will now restart. Once the computer has finished booting, it will be in the original state when you first received it. You can now restore your backup and get going. Reconnect all your external devices like router etc., install the latest drivers for them and get them back to working.
If want to restore your computer using the Dell System Recovery disk, make sure that you have it. Grab it and insert in the CD-ROM drive of your computer. When prompted, choose to boot from the CD. When prompted to make a selection from repair your existing installation or restore to factory defaults, select the latter option. Follow rest of the on-screen instructions and complete the procedure. When done, restart your computer. It will be back to the original factory settings. Reinstall all your programs and applications and driver software individually.
Additional Info:
In case the restore procedure does not go well and you face common Dell computer errors, contact a Dell computer support service.

You can use this registry setting to provide Network Policy Server (NPS) with a domain name for use during the authentication and authorization of connection requests.
Incorrectly editing the registry might severely damage your system. Before making changes to the registry, you should back up any valued data on the computer.
Configuring the Default Domain Name
While processing connection requests, NPS examines the User-Name portion of the Access-Request message to determine whether a domain name has been specified. If a domain name is specified and NPS is configured to access the user accounts database in the designated domain, NPS proceeds with processing the connection request.
Some network access servers delete or modify the domain name as specified by the user. As a result, the network access request is authenticated against the default domain, which might not be the domain for the user account. To resolve this problem, configure your Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) servers to change the user name into the correct format with the accurate domain name.
When NPS cannot properly parse the domain identity from the user name attribute in the connection request or the user name does not contain a domain, NPS takes the following actions:
If the NPS server is not a member of a domain, NPS authenticates the user against the local Security Accounts Manager (SAM) database.
If the NPS server is a member of a domain, NPS checks the DefaultDomain registry entry. If a value is specified for DefaultDomain, NPS authenticates the user against the domain specified in the registry entry.
If the NPS server is a member of a domain and a value for the DefaultDomain registry entry is not specified, NPS authenticates the user against the domain to which the NPS server is joined.
Creating the DefaultDomain Registry Key
You must create the new registry key at the following path.
Registry path
To specify the NPS-supplied domain
By default, the NPS-supplied domain name is the domain of which the NPS server is a member. You can specify a different NPS-supplied domain by browsing to the registry path in Registry Editor and then adding a new key named DefaultDomain. Next, add a new string value to DefaultDomain that is the domain name you require.

I was tired; I was wearily correcting the proofs of a long academic article that I have finally, after three years, shepherded to publication, when the news of Justice Souter's resignation came. My article discussed the question of what the current Supreme Court would do with a transgender plaintiff in a case involving the federal sex discrimination statute, known as Title VII. The editors of the Temple Political and Civil Rights Law Journal, who were gracious enough to express an interest in its publication, were likely as weary as I of proofreading the same text over and over a hundred times. Scanning the traditionally-long academic title was enough to cross my eyes: "Transgender Identity, Textualism and the Supreme Court: What is the 'Plain Meaning' of 'Sex' in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964?"
Sighing, after a long bout of correcting text with eyes that no longer read small print so well, I pulled the proofs back in front of me. I began re-reading, crossing out Justice Souter's name wherever it appeared, along with all of my carefully-researched analysis about what I thought he would do. (Oh, my heart) It was a bit dispiriting. But my depression lifted upon hearing of the new nominee: Judge Sonia Sotomayor. I looked her up and liked what I saw. Of course, I can't include her in my article, which will be at the printer long before Judge Sotomayor's confirmation process is final. But, I can't help wondering, if Judge Sotomayor is confirmed -- making her into Justice Sotomayor -- what would she do with a transgender plaintiff in a Title VII case? What do her prior opinions (of which there are 669 according to a Westlaw search) suggest?
It might seem like a slam dunk in favor of a transgender plaintiff. After all, Judge Sotomayor is a liberal, a Latina woman, and a graduate of Eastern liberal educational institutions. But the calculus isn't so simple. Not by a long shot.

9 Great Gadgets to Simplify Your Life
Find that you frequently have dozens (if not hundreds) of family photos languishing on your digital camera? Sure, it's not hard to upload them, but the latest crop offer even easier solutions. Cameras we've seen at CES have integrated wireless capabilities, so you can transfer photos and video from your camera with the press of a button via your home network. Samsung has five devices in its arsenal now that offer smart sharing and Polaroid showcased a new Wi-Fi-enabled camera that will be powered by Android.
Bottom Line: Forget the wires. Pick up a new camera that offers wireless sharing.
Up until now, bulky SLRs were a must if you wanted really professional-quality photos. Now, cameras aren't only getting smarter, they're getting more compact too. We've been toting around a compact advanced camera from Nikon, the Nikon N1, and we've been getting tons of compliments on its sleek look and — dare I say — sexy white design. But the best part? The body is slim enough to fit into your purse, but you pick up a range of detachable lenses to make sure you always get the perfect shot, whether its capturing the action at your kids soccer game or getting a gorgeous close-up of the flowers in your garden.
Bottom Line: You no longer have to sacrifice image quality to get a smaller camera.

What causes a mag to blow out the bottom of your handgun?
Today I went to a range with a friend and we rented a .22, a Ruger Mark 2. One time, when my friend was firing, the magazine blew out the bottom of the Ruger, the bottom of the casing fell out of the handgun, and the rest of the casing looked like it got kind of crushed while "stovepiping".
Luckily the round went down range just fine, and nobody was injured, and the handgun wasn't damaged.
I went and got one of the range supervisors, who examined the handgun, and then tested it out for safety by loading up seven cartridges and firing them before handing the .22 back to us.
What the heck happened? I've personally never seen anything like that happen before, and I've mostly heard about things like that happening in conjunction with reloaded ammuntion, whereas we were using factory ammunition bought from the range.
12/14/2008 10:04pm, #2
Was it the first round shot out of that mag?
12/14/2008 10:19pm, #3
I'm trying to remember, and I want to say, no, I do not believe it was the first round out of the mag.
But my friend might have manually worked the slide just before firing after getting a "click" instead of a bang, now that I think about it.
12/14/2008 10:28pm, #4
Maybe the base was weakened or partially cracked.
Never heard of that, but since .22 is a rimfire, it is a possibility that the base was damaged by incomplete feed and subsequent stripping from the clip.
Lucky for your friend that it didn't set off any other rounds in the mag.

So, let me make sure I'm understanding this.
You guys are saying that the cartridge could have been damaged, or had a manufacturer's defect, which caused it to not seat properly and to go off out of battery.
Is that correct?
12/14/2008 10:58pm, #7
Manufactured ammo in this day and age is pretty well controlled compared to that of the past. Quality control usually ensures fairly consistent loads.
There is a possibility that the magazine was not fully locked into place.
A round did not properly feed, preventing the normally smooth transition from magazine into the chamber. Stress could have been placed on the rim when the second movement of the slide stripped the round from the magazine.
During the manufacturing process, the casing starts out as a solid piece of brass punched out of sheet material. The forming process takes several steps to form the case. The rim would normally be OK, but added stress could have cracked the area where the rim flows into the base.
This is all conjecture.
I have had feed problems with my Mark II using cheap ammunition, but never with the good stuff.
12/15/2008 11:35pm, #8
So between the magazine not being seated properly, and the slide being worked manually to force the cartridge, the rim itself could have become cracked, which could have blown out the mag.
Thanks very much for explaining to me your conjecture.
12/15/2008 11:49pm, #9
Maybe a round in the chamber not seated properly, your friend works the action stripping off a new round and the nose of the second round hits the first? A worn extractor on a rental gun would help that happen.

I actually had the same thing happen with a S&W 9mm. We had a round's casing blow out, slamming the slide back and dropping the mag. It was fine the rest of the day so I'm pretty sure it was just a bad round.

Bret Hart helps Calgary Hitmen unveil 20th anniversary jersey
Bret Hart helps Calgary Hitmen unveil 20th anniversary jersey
The Western League team returns to its roots with a pink retro sweater that features the famous wrestler's catch phrase on the shoulder patch and flames on the sleeves.
Famed wrestler Bret 'The Hitman' Hart was one of the original owners of the Western League's Calgary Hitmen and the reason the team was named as such. With the franchise reaching its 20th anniversary next season, a new retro jersey has been released honoring the Hitmen's roots.
As modeled by left winger Connor Rankin (with Hart wearing the original), the anniversary edition features two shoulder patches, a "sunburst" Hitmen logo and another with Hart's catch phrase from his wrestling days: "The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be."
Calgary will wear the jerseys for their 2014-15 home opener and more games after that.

The writer of tho article which

in the ?South Carolina College, and
gives expression to the views of the
most hopeful class of Southern peo?
ple. What lie says of t?ie West ludia
experiment will receive further elu( " .
dation in the next number of the
Review, when we hope to give full
examination to the recent work of
Mr. Sewell, who visited the islands
and furnishes an elaborate and favora?
ble exposition of their present condi?
tion.-EOTTOB DEBOW'S RH VIEW.
On the fourth of July, 1865, the
citizens of Columbia, S. C., were the
spectators of a scene most impressive
aud instructive. A large body of
freedmen gathered from the sur?
rounding districts, united with their
countrymen in the city to celebrate
the day of national festivity. There
were not less than twenty thousand
present on the occasion; yet no act
of violence nor even of incivility was
perpetrated. N > disturbance oc?
curred. .-Ml were sober, sedate and
courteous. The cup of freedom bad
not made them delirious. These
sanguinary barbarians, who, accord?
ing to the theory of fanaticism, had
been kept in subjection by the whip
aud the chain, adjusted themselves to
their new relations with a calm digni?
ty which, however subversive of the
aforesaid theory, reflects the greatest
credit upon their former masters.
The institution of slavery had trans?
formed the African savage into the
nucleus of the American citizen.
The South is thus vindicated from
unmerited calumny. "The past afc
least is secure"; and the Southern
master, thus unexpectedly cited be?
fore tho world's tribunal, has proved
that he has discharged his high
trust, by the employment of an in?
stitution devolved upon him by the
cupidity of the North, in the moral
improvement of the class thus com?
mitted to his charge. That institu?
tion no longer exists. The stern
arbitrament of the sword has decreed
its extinction, and tue South, ac
quiescing in the inevitable result, has
surrendered its trust. A n-w era luis
dawned upon it. The relation ol
labor to capital assumes a different
position. By a revolution unex?
ampled in the history of mankind,
philanthropic projectors have con?
verted slaves into freemen, without
warning or preparation, without that
apprenticeship which has been hither?
to deemed the appropriate and ever
necessary transition from bondage tc
liberty. It remains to be seen hov,
the South will un ofc this new condi?
tion of affairs. Is it adequate to tb*
crisis V To deny this, would be ai:
ungenerous reflection upon its es?
tablished character for sagacity and
energy. A people that converted au
inconsiderable foreign plant into thc
autocrat of the commerce of the
civilized world, and made cotton
king, defying and distancing all com?
petition in it? cultivation: that held
at bay for four years tho most power?
ful Government on the face of the
earth, and succumbed at last only to
overwhelming numbers, waging a war
of devastation, plunder and rapine,
has settled thc question of their ener?
gy and endurance. Such men even
an enemy might be proud to claim as
brethren. They have asserted their
high lineage, and proved themselves
adequate to any task -which Provi?
dence may devolve upon them.
The vital question for the South at
the present time, is: Can the colored
man be profitably employed as a free
laborer ? Will he work ? or is he an
exception to the general rule, which
determines that /hen the laborer is
remanded to Iiis own interests he will
prove most effective ? The results of
the experiment in the British West
Indies would throw great light upon
this inquiry. But unfortunately the
requisite documents are not at hand.
Gen. Sherman, in his devastating oc?
cupations and marches, has so effect?
ually done his chosen work, that the
private libraries, to which we might
repair for information, lie in ashes.
We can avail ourselves only of snob
information :i3 is within our reach;
and fortunately we have at hand the
'"Edinburgh Review," which happens
to have escaped their touch and
A writer in that quarterly for April,
1859, affirms that "the West Indies
are ?aising with great speed to a
height of wealth, happiness and com?
fort unknown before," that "they
are swiftly becoming a gem in the
British crown, of higher value than
they ever wrere before." The act of
emancipation took effect in 1834; the
apprenticeship system ceased in 1838.
Tile new system seems to have worked
very well until 1847," when a dreadful
crash came, brought about mainly by
a vast fall in the price of sugar. Free
trade exposed the planters to the
competition o? Brazil and Cuba, whilst
the protective measures of France
and Belgium and other continental
countries in favor of their beet sugar
excluded cane sugar from their
markets, and caused a surplus in
England, so that, although the pro?
duce of the islands continued to in?
crease, the profits were as steadily
i diminishing, and the planters, crip
j pied by the debts which they had
brought with them out of slavery,
were crushed and ruined. But from
these disasters the islands have gra?
dually recovered;, and the writer
affirms that "official statistics and
reports absolutely demonstrate that
tire West Indies aro rapidly advanc?
ing in wealth and prosperity, with a
corresponding advance in tho general
character of thc people. "
Thc South enU-rs upon its new
career under circumstances strikingly
different, and far more advantageous,
! than those which attended the ex?
periment in the West Indies. Om
colored population is far superior iii
intellect and morals. The plantations
in thoso islands were, managed princi
I pally by agents, the proprietors re?
siding in England; and there wa)
. little intercourse between the whitei
. and the blacks. The latter remainec
i in ignorance and barbarism. Om
I j people have been civilized and chris
i tianized. They are intelligent, hav(
: been trained to habits of industry
and can appreciate tho importance
of regular and well-directed labor
Moreover, we have the advantage o
. climate. Those tropical regions en
; abled the negro to live upon tin
; spontaneous productions of the soil
- arni hence tempted him lo sloth
i But, in our elim tte, work is indis
> pensable to existence. The negr<
' must lal>or or .starve. Hence tin
? proprietor of land can present ? con
? ' trolling motive to overcome the nativ
i j a?uggishness of the African. Again
tim British Government committed
the fatal mistake of allowing the
emancipated negroes to become
owners of tho soil. The wild lands
wore occupied by the freedmen; and
cuffie settled down upon th"m in easy
indolence, content to live apt n pump?
kins and whatever a bounteous nature
might lavish at his feet. But here,
the white man is the proprietor of
the land. Cnflie must work for him,
or try the experiment of living with?
out work, with the privilege of starv- j
ing. He is free to starve if ho pleases.
But >ven the negro can understand
that starvation is not the most desira?
ble privilege of freedom, and his own
sad experience will impress him with
the importance of working for a
We arc, we confess, deeply solicit?
ous that a fair experiment shall bc
made with the free colored popula?
tion. Tho South has already proved
itself their greatest benefactor, by
rescuing them from barbarism and
heathenism aud blessing them with
the light of a pure christianity. It
now romains to complete the great
work by elevating them to the status
of intelligent, industrious and effect*
ivo hirelings. Let us not shrink
from this arduous, but benevolent,
enterprise. The negro is indeed
ignorant, and he has been perverted
and demoralized by fanatical teachers;
but the instincts of humanity are yet
vital in him; and the kindly remem?
brance of former and brighter days
will concur with a regard for his own
interest to attach him to his former
master. Prudence, forbearance and
a tender iudulgence of his infirmities
may yet protect him against tho in?
sidious in?uenees which are employed
to make him regard his former master
as his enemy, and may revive those
earlier associations of love and duty,
which once made him contented with
his humide lot.
The primary condition of success
with the Southern planter consists in
a full appreciation of tho altered re?
lation of the negro laborer and a
corresponding change of treatment.
In this respect the West India
planters blundered most sadly. The
managers of estates (for the pro?
prietors were mostly absentees,) for?
getting that the negro was no longer
a bondman, carried into their new
sphere the habits of thought and
action to which they had boen ac?
customed, but of which the freedman
was very naturally most impatient,
and attempted to subject the latter tc
a system of discipline which thc laws
had made obsolete. Distrust anti
alienation were the inevitable conse?
quence. The laborer in disgust
abandoned his old home, and set ny.
for himself. 14 is not without som<
degree of truth that a writer in tlu
'. Westminister Review," February.
1853, asserts, "The diminution o
labor was the direct and imm?diat*
consequence of tho mismanagemen
of the planters."
Sout hern planters, it is to bo hoped
will avoid this error". Our coloree
people are possessed, we believe, o
tho most kindly feelings towards thei
late owners. Many of thom hav>

of freedom; all, with perhaps th
exception of the few who have bee:

One striking peculiarity of bia
character is his .strong local attach?
ment, his love of homo and its sur?
roundings. The Southern planter
may avail himself of this element of
his nature, and turn it to beneficial
uses both for himself and his depen?
dent. The negro's original attach?
ment to the homestead may be con?
firmed and invigorated by kind and
courteous treatment, by affectionate
interest. i:i his family and regard for
his welfare. He may thus be made a
permanent fixture of the plantation;
and our patriarchal institution may
be replaced by eua combining all its
advantages with none of ?LJ evils.
Slavery is an abnormal, and, as tho
history of the world has proved, a
deciduous institution. Whether this
is the growth of man's virtues or his
vices, we stop not to inquire. Wo
accept the fact. But the relation of
master arid servant is natural and
unalterable. Our former system may
bc replaced by oue such as that which
exists in England, where the play?
mate of childhood becc s the con?
fidential agent of later .ars, resides
at the old homestead, and dying,
leaves his children in the service of
his original employer, and attached
to their nativo spot by all tho sweet
and gentle associations of home,
kindred and friends. Such a system
of hereditary employment, of trans?
mission of duties and affections from
parents to children, is the fairest
school of human nature. It is the
nursery of all that is noblest, and
dearest, and best in our social re?
lations, and far transcends the misera?
ble scheme of mercenary and transient
service which pervades tho domestic
economy of the North.
Wc arc, as we have said, anxious
that a fair experiment should be made
with thc colored people. We aro
hopeful, even confident, in regard to
its issue. BUL should the experiment
fail, there exis s no ground for de
spondency in reference to our future.
Our broad lands and fertile fields will
invite foreign etniprration. The young,
the vigorous, and the enterprising
will come among ns to seek their for?
tunes; and tho indomitable Anglo
Saxon spirit will in the end, triumph
over all obstacles. We have said
nothing of thc aid which we may
derive from the influences of Chris?
tianity in subsidizing the colored labor
of the South. We hope to discuss
that subject in another article. The
religion of the negro is sui generis,
and demands the careful scrutiny of
the philosopher.
But we must stop. The conclusion
of the whole matter is this. We call
\ipon the people of thc South toi bc
manly, enterprising, hopeful. Their
fortitude, in adversity is even more
admirable than their gallantry in the
field. They are capable of great
things, and may achieve a high des?
tiny. Let them turn away from the
dead past, and look at the living
future. 4 ' Men are sometimes masters
of their fates;" and the critical period
has'arrived in which they ?ire sum?
moned to enter upon a new career of
unexampled prosperity, happiness,
and virtue. Adversity is a stern
school, but it is the gymnasium of
great, souls; and the awful calamities
which have befallen the South maj
prove in the end to have boen only
the discipline of Providence to purify
and consolidate ifs character, and to
nmke it, as hitherto the ornament, so
now and hereafter, the support of a
preat nation.

Packages Make Postal Service Sing a New Tune
USPS's heads of sales and operations belt out a love song to seven-day delivery and customer satisfaction at the National Postal Forum.
Cliff Rucker and Ed Phelan opened up the National Postal Forum in Nashville yesterday like Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs tearing into a performance of Foggy Mountain Breakdown, laying down a hard-driving tune of operational flexibility and customer attentiveness on the road to primacy in the package delivery business.
"Two years ago at Forum we were talking about going from six-day to five-day delivery. This year we're talking about seven-day package delivery," USPS VP of Delivery Operations Phelan said to Rucker, VP of sales. "The growth trend is astronomical, more than 30%. We had one customer give us five million packages and another [customer gave us] three million over the holidays."
Phelan said the Postal Service delivered about 8.3 million packages on its busiest Sunday in December and another eight million on Christmas Eve. Rucker, who did a ride-along on one of those winter Sundays said it was a kick to see how appreciative people were when you showed with their packages on the Lord's Day. So surprising was it to see the U.S. Mail moving outside of normal business hours that a mail truck making grocery runs in the wee hours of a San Francisco morning got pulled over by cops who thought it was stolen.
You'd think one couldn't ask for more than being a regulated monopoly, but Rucker and Phelan appear dead set on making the U.S. Postal service act and operate like a competitive, private sector business. The Postal Service—about to lose the 4.3% exigent surcharge and with little hope of legislation allowing it to restructure the way it delivers retiree health benefits—needs every buck it can get, and this dynamic duo sees money on the table in shipping and packages.
"It used to be a box was a box. This is when we deliver and this is when we pick up," Rucker said, "but we have an asset. We have fixed carriers on focused routes, and what I'm trying to do is fill Ed's trucks."
Now that Mobile Delivery Devices (MDDs) are fully deployed across the carrier corps and ramped up with superior data, more surprising things are coming from the Postal Service, Phelan promised. "When we first went down this road, we didn't have 11-digit capabilities. Nine only got us to the corner, it didn't get us to the house," said the operations chief. "Now the MDD is not just some device that tells carriers where they need to be and what they need to pick up, it can tell them where to leave it, even give them a garage door code. It gives us the ability to know where every carrier is at any time of the day."
Direct mailers and catalogers more concerned with Standard Mail and flats aren't very generous with their praise for Postal Service operations these days, but Cliff Rucker raved that Ed Phelan's people set up Sunday delivery in 30 days and that Phelan never outright denies any of the many requests Rucker now serves up to him.
"It's OK, Cliff," Phelan said. "You can make your goals."

Kiwanis Music Festival kicks off
Tuesday, Mar 13, 2012 06:00 am
The 29th annual Olds and District Kiwanis Music Festival started last Thursday at the TransCanada Theatre in Olds.
More than 2,000 contestants from 23 communities around South Central Alberta will spend the festival�s 14 days learning about their art and being judged by one of the 10 discipline adjudicators.
�We have a festival that adjudicators love to come to, because we focus on the learning and the teaching rather than on who gets first and second place,� said Wendy Durieux, festival coordinator.
�The adjudicators can come to do what they do well and they don�t have to worry about if they are picking the right person to win.�
This year, the festival has 688 entries � 51 fewer than last year.
The festival started last week with the choir competition. This week, it continues with musical theatre and band. The first concert will be the musical theatre showcase and it will be held this Saturday night at the TransCanada Theatre.
�The adjudicators will choose the 30 contestants that they feel are the most entertaining,� said Durieux.
�I have no say in that and it is totally the adjudicators� picks. It is a very wonderful evening.�
The adjudicators will also give out the musical theatre awards during the concert.
Four classes will take place during the festival�s last week: strings, piano, choral speech, and senior vocal competition. The festival will end on March 24. The grand concert will be held on March 27.
�At the grand concert, we try to ask different people from the different disciplines to kind of showcase what happened at the festival,� said Durieux.
�It is going to be fabulous and it is amazing to hear the kids, hear what is happening, and to hear the different levels.�
The daily classes are free and anybody can go to the TransCanada Theatre and listen to them.
Tickets for the two concerts are sold at the theatre.
For more information, please visit the festival�s website at www.oldskiwanis.org/musicfestival.htm .

Cambridge Science Festival kicks off this weekend
The 5th Annual Cambridge Science Festival kicks off this weekend offering more than a week of events including everything from a carnival to urban astronomy and a Nerdnite's Nerdtacular.
The nine-day festival runs from Saturday through May 8 this year and is being presented by the MIT Museum in collaboration with the City of Cambridge and a number of community organizations and schools and universities.
On May 7, the festival will host the annual Science Carnival at the Cambridge Public Library at 449 Broadway from noon to 4 p.m. followed by an art and light performance called "Fast Light" on the Charles River that night.
But the festivities kick off this weekend with a festival-eve event Friday at 7:30 p.m. in The Laboratory at Harvard at 52 Oxford St. with "Big Ideas for Busy People," in which professors from Harvard and MIT will tackle topics ranging from the search for habitable worlds to street-fighting math and science. Every topic will be covered in a talk of 5 minutes or less, followed by five-minute question and answer period.
The festival begins Saturday with a campus-wide open house at MIT that includes free admission to the MIT Museum, at 265 Massachusetts Ave., and a number of demonstrations and activities in celebration of MIT's 150th anniversary.
Events will continue all week with activities such as a chance to enjoy urban astronomy outside Cambridge City Hall Sunday, May 1 from 8 to 11 p.m. when a telescope will be set up to see what wonders of the universe are visible even in urban skies.
All week, visitors can also walk a half mile along the Charles River between Massachusetts Avenue and Ames Street to explore 4.6 billion years of Earth history through a scaled-down version of the geologic timeline in which each inch represents 240,000 years.
The MIT Museum will also host Nerdnite's Nerdtacular on May 6 at 7:00 pm for discussions about architecture, ocean chemistry and biology.
A list of event for every day of the festival can be found online at CambridgeScienceFestival.org.

Fair Theatre presents Villarreal and Whitaker in 2011 Young Artists Series
Published 7:00 am, Sunday, April 24, 2011
The next installment of the Fair Theatre's 2011 young artist series continues with "Rhythm Unleashed" set for Friday evening. Ray Villarreal and Shaniqua Whitaker, two top performers with the Plainview High School choir, will take center stage and provide audiences with a contemporary musical review.
"The series was designed to give young people a chance to showcase their talents," explains Shane Harrell, Fair Theatre manager. "The Fair affords them some real-life, hands-on experience in staging a production. There's a lot more to it than one might think. Young people can take that knowledge with them as they develop professionally."
"Shaniqua and I have been singing together since kindergarten," Villarreal says. "We are very proud of this opportunity. The concept is well worth the audience's support. It's entertaining and uplifting and only $5."
The duo draws inspiration from such pop artists as Taio Cruz, Katy Perry and Barielles. The evening also will include several original compositions and a tip of the hat to classic rock.
Villarreal and Whitaker will be joined on stage by fellow senior and guitarist Brooklyn Braddock. Aaron Chavez, who last year provided the inspiration for the series, will make a special guest appearance. Several thespians with the PHS Stage Hounds also will be in attendance to provide a bit of comic banter.
"I started singing in my church choir when I was 3," says Whitaker, the daughter of Joe and Millie Whitaker. "Choir is a big part of my life. When I sing I don't do it for show. I do it because it makes me happy."
Following graduation, she plans to attend West Texas A&M and study nursing.
Villarreal, the son of Pedro and Sue Villarreal, was raised in a musical family. His natural talents developed at an early age. He has been writing his own songs since junior high, having composed close to 30 so far.
"I want to attend the University of Houston and major in vocal performance or get my certification in sound production/audio engineering at either South Plains College or at a private program in Houston," Villarreal says.
"Shaniqua's and Ray's names kept crossing my desk the past couple of years," Harrell explains. "In countless school productions and community events, they often played a central part. They each are blessed with amazing talents and are certain to go far in life. It is our pleasure to welcome them to a spotlight all their own."
The theatre box office will open at 6 p.m. Friday with the performance to follow at 7. Tickets, priced at $5, may be purchased at the door.
For additional information or to preview upcoming events, visit the Fair Theatre's online calendar at www.plainviewtx.org or call Harrell at 806-296-1139.

More than 200 music-lovers rocked until late into the night to raise more than £1,700 for charity last weekend.
The fourth annual New Disorder Festival at MFN, Shipley Gate, saw live bands on two stages, alongside a craft fair, exotic animal handling, inflatables, world record attempts, a display by Ilkeston firefighters and more.
The cash raised each year goes to Rock Against Child Pornography and Abuse UK.
Organiser Tracy Holland, from West Hallam, is a victim support therapist for the charity. She said: "A big thank you to everybody involved – all the people who came along and supported the charity. In the current climate where everyone is feeling the pinch people have still been so generous. Despite the bad weather there was a great atmosphere – and we still had plenty of people drooling over the firemen!

Small-donor political groups that have already pumped more than $1.5 million into this campaign season are ready to dump hundreds of thousands more into state races in the final weeks before the November election, thanks to a new court ruling.
Many of those committees have been stuck in a holding pattern in Colorado since Aug. 2, when Secretary of State Gigi Dennis issued rules requiring them to get written permission from their members before using any of their dues for political activities.
That was a tall order for some of the larger groups, which have thousands of members.
But Denver District Judge John McMullen ruled Friday that Dennis exceeded her authority. He kept the rules in effect through Tuesday in case Dennis' attorneys – who had not decided their next step Friday – want to appeal.
Barring any other court rulings, politically active groups could resume pumping money into campaigns after that.
"We have money ready to transfer as soon as this is settled," said Lynne Garramone Mason, who directs government relations for the Colorado Education Association. "The sooner the money is spent as it was intended, the better."
Her group's small-donor committee, the Public Education Committee, has $389,000 on ice for candidates, get-out-the-vote efforts and donations to independent political committees.
The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) had $319,000 in its small-donor account as of Sept. 1. The Denver Classroom Teachers Association Fund and Jefferson County Education Association had $125,000 and nearly $40,000, respectively.
Boost for Democrats
Those funds could make a real difference for Democrats, who are generally on the receiving end of union contributions.
"I can see another $1 million total from those groups going into races with direct mail and getting-out-the-vote efforts, and that will make an impact," said Denver pollster Floyd Ciruli.
Republican lawyer Scott Gessler, who had been one of three attorneys who proposed the disputed rule, said he too could see another $1 million loaded into campaigns – and shot directly at GOP candidates.
"The unions have a lot of money to throw a lot of mud at a lot of walls," he said.
Small-donor committees do not have to identify contributors of less than $20. Many unions transfer portions of membership dues into the committees, and the names are not disclosed.
Small-donor committees can receive up to $50 per contributor but are allowed to give 10 times as much to candidates as can individuals.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Bill Ritter has received a number of donations from the committees, which can each give him up to $10,000.
And many Colorado statehouse candidates have already received the maximum $4,000 they can get.
Giving to 527 groups
Another advantage union groups have is their ability to give to so-called 527 groups, which can raise and spend money without limits. Those organizations are prohibited from using corporate or labor money 60 days before the election for "electioneering communications," such as television ads. But small-donor committees established by corporate or labor organizations are exempt.
Already, groups like the SEIU and the Public Education Committee have given $150,000 and $66,667, respectively, to Citizens for Colorado, a Democratic group funded by millionaires Rutt Bridges, Pat Stryker and Tim Gill.
The Colorado Professional Fire Fighters small-donor committee has given $25,000 to Moving Colorado Forward, a Democratic group, and the Colorado State Conference of Electrical Workers has given $12,500 to the Colorado Democratic Senate Campaign fund.
Mason of the Colorado Education Association said donor committees are a way for "small people" to pool their money to have a voice in elections.
"It's a way for a group of teachers to be heard as much as a Coors or Xcel," she said.
Small-donor groups
Eight small-donor committees have raised a total of more than $1.5 million in anonymous donations and contributed $1.5 million to candidates and political committees since Oct. 1. They include:
* SEIU Colorado
* Public Education Committee
* Colorado State Conference of Electrical Workers
* United Food & Commercial Workers Local 7R
* Colorado Professional Fire Fighters
* Jefferson County Education Association
* Colorado Council of Teamsters
* Denver Classroom Teachers Association Fund
