Knives Don't Kill People as Effectively As Guns, And NEVER By Mistake
Posted by Cliff Lyon in 2nd Second Amendment, Gun Control, Mass Shooting on April 11, 2013
Let see:
Adam Lanza shot 26 people in five minutes. NOBODY LIVED!
Dylan Quick stabbed 14 people in 15-20 minutes. NOBODY DIED.
I'm sick and tired of the "guns don't kill people; people do" mantra. Its too stupid for words.
If it ain't a hunting rifle, it was designed for a singular purpose, to give a human being the ability to kill another human being. The same cannot be said about spoons, knives, cars, hammers or hamburgers.
I'd like to see a 4-year-old kill a 6-year-old, or the wife of a Tennessee Sheriff's Deputy or a 3-year-old, his own father, with a knife.
Thom Hartmann Schools Caller Who Insists 2nd Amendment is to Stop Tyranny (Video)

Utah's Washington Country Sheriff Threatens Armed Resistance, Gets History Wrong In Open Letter To President Obama
Posted by Cliff Lyon in 2nd Second Amendment, assault weapons, Barack Obama, Gun Control, Mass Shooting, Republicans, utah, Utah Politics on January 20, 2013
The most honest message in Washington County Sheriff Cory Pulsipher's Open Letter to Barack Obama is that Sheriffs are politicians; "We, the elected sheriffs of Utah…" On the other hand, use of the word "We" implying all Utah Sheriffs signed off on the language, is most likely, a lie.
It is difficult to believe that ALL of Utahs 28 county Sheriffs support threatening President Obama with a call to "trade our lives" in an effort to resist "federal officials," which may also explain why NO OTHER County Sheriffs' names appear in the letter posted on Cory's website on behalf of the Utah Sheriff's Association.
The only substance in the letter is the final paragraph. Whether this paragraph was agreed upon by all of Utah's Sheriffs, or is merely a personal campaign message, the reader must decide for her/himself.
We respect the Office of the President of the United States of America. But, make no mistake, …we will enforce the rights guaranteed…by the Constitution. No federal official will be permitted to descend upon constituents and take from them what the Bill of Rights-in particular Amendment II-has given them. We, like you, swore a solemn oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and we are prepared to trade our lives for the preservation of its traditional interpretation.
Finally, it must be noted that Mr. Pulispher's implicit assertion that HIS is also "the traditional interpretation" of the second amendment is a canard and should offend even the most pedestrian history buff. I think we can safely assume Sheriff Pulispher's interpretation of 2A is identical to Wayne LaPierre's. And it is wrong and certainly NOT the "traditional one.
"In regard to the Second Amendment, not a single Congressman or Senator is recorded as saying that it would establish an individual's right to possess a weapon.
…In summary the original intent of the Second Amendment was to protect the right of the states to form and maintain state militias, free of the potential federal incursion created by Article I, section 8, clause 16 of the Constitution. Hopefully, we will one day get an intellectually honest majority on the Supreme Court that will reverse the judicial activism that the five right wing ideologues on SCOTUS forced on the American people in Heller, Citizens United, and the majority's dangerous restriction on the interstate commerce clause in National Federation of Independent Business et al. v. Sibelius (otherwise known as the "Obamacare" decision)."
For those of you who would dismiss the above as a radical assertion, I would challenge you to read this well research and sourced primer on the actual debate and circumstances surrounding the ratification of the Second Amendment. For those of you more used to reading NRA, Breitbart, Drudge and or the mountains of fabricated, unsupportable drivel presented by so-called second amendment advocates, I fear you will find the level of primary sources and facts in this brief, excruciating.
For posterity, the entire page containing Sheriff Pulsipher's letter is posted below:
Here's Why Obama Should Use Presidential Executive Authority to Control Guns
Posted by Cliff Lyon in 2nd Second Amendment, Gun Control, Mass Shooting, NRA, Some people should not own guns on January 13, 2013
Obama should exercise his presidential authority to effect sensible gun control nationally for two reasons:
1. It bring a badly needed Supreme Court challenge that will likely involve the "Militia" part of the second amendment.
2. It will turn up the volume for historians and constitutional experts in a broad national debate in which second-amendment-extremist will learn a more reasonable interpretation of the second amendment; one that is supported by fact and history instead of the version Justice Scalia smeared like skid marks into our national undies.
We are finally beginning to have an honest discussion about the true meaning of the Second Amendment. Until Sandy Hook, gun rights extremist managed to dominate the conversation. They were allowed to ignore the "A well regulated Militia, being necessary" part.
Here is a PERFECT EXAMPLE from an interview by Nashville's WSMV-TV on Friday.
It is a fact that the average James Yeager and other Second Amendment Advocates cannot actually recite the whole sentence:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Obama should use his executive power if it will mean Wayne LaPierre, the average 2nd amendment "advocate" and crooked snake oil salesmen like David Hardy will be FORCED to read and memorize THE WHOLE SENTENCE and address the HISTORICAL FACTS surrounding the writing of the Bill of Rights.

What types of people shouldn't be allowed to have guns?
Posted by Shane Smith in 2nd Second Amendment, assault weapons, Gun Control, Mass Shooting, NRA, Republicans, Some people should not own guns, This Blog on January 10, 2013
This type.
And who is that? James Yeager, CEO of Tactical Response, a company that specializes in selling exactly the types of weapons we don't need, and then training you to use them. Apparently to overthrow your government.
Sadly that is not his original channel video. Why? Because he is a total coward, and already took the original down. But on the internet, things have a tendency to pop back up again.
I eagerly await all the true patriot tea bagger supporters of freedom and haters of treasonous people who I am sure are already formulating a response to remove this man who just explained that he is planning on committing treason. I am sure they are shutting him done as I type this.
You know how people sometimes say "if only we had warning before he went crazy and flew off the handle" after a shooting? This video is a red flag. A giant screaming red flag. With fireworks.
Increasingly the first red flag that you are the type of mentally unstable person who shouldn't be allowed to own a gun is that you own a gun.
Carolyn Cain, Utah County Special Ed Teacher and Gun Worshiper Embarrasses Utah
Posted by Cliff Lyon in 2nd Second Amendment, Gun Control, Mass Shooting, Republicans, Some people should not own guns, utah, Utah Politics on January 9, 2013
This is why Utah is the laughing stock of the World.
The National Rifle Association countered with "arm the teachers." Gun clubs claim hundreds of teachers are applying for free weapons training. Two hundred people showed up for a class in West Valley City, Utah, outside Salt Lake City, on December 27, 2012, for example. Not all of the people who took the course were teachers. But some were, including Carolyn Cain, who teaches special education kids in kindergarten to the 6th grade in Utah County, Utah.

The Second Amendment IS NOT An Individual Right And Has Nothing to Do with Gun Ownership
Posted by Cliff Lyon in 2nd Second Amendment, Alan Korwin, assault weapons, Gun Control, Mass Shooting, NRA, Republicans, Some people should not own guns on December 29, 2012
Since OneUtah enjoys an audience of the most vocal proponents of arming American to the teeth ( I call you Bubbas), it seems appropriate to provide this EXCELLENT legal, historical analysis of the Second Amendment for ongoing reference.
Cheat Sheet for Bubbas:
The word 'militia' appears 5 times in the constitution.
Nineteenth Century state courts construed "bear arms" as having a purely military function
If you are semi-conscious today, you probably think your Second Amendment rights all but require every citizen carry a grenade launcher to defend himself, family, property, dog and pretty much anyone who happens to be within range of his choice of ammunition. And you probably think the 'right to bear arms' was intended as an individual right and has always been interpreted as such.
AND, you would be wrong…DEAD WRONG.
The Gun Lobby's interpretation of the Second Amendment is one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American People by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime. The real purpose of the Second Amendment was to ensure that state armies – the militia – would be maintained for the defense of the state. The very language of the Second Amendment refutes any argument that it was intended to guarantee every citizen an unfettered right to any kind of weapon he or she desires. – Chief Justice Warren Burger, "The Right to Bear Arms," Parade Magazine, January 14, 1990
Ever notice self-proclaimed Second Amendment experts (Bubbas) VIRTUALLY IGNORE the word "MILITIA?" Of course you have. No self-respecting NRA member, nor the average, spineless gun toting coward would DARE read the actual text of the Second Amendment even if they could.
So, it is up to the rest of us to get real clear on the Original Intent of the Second Amendment. A slow, careful read of the the article (below) is sufficient to arm yourself to the gills to pound any gun freak into the ground.
The Second Amendment Has Nothing to Do with Gun Ownership.
Sample Excerpt:
"Six of the original 13 states, when ratifying the Constitution, proposed amendments which would become the Bill of Rights. Four of these six ratifying conventions – those of New York, Virginia, Rhode Island and North Carolina – proposed amendments whose language closely mirrored what would become the Second Amendment. But the debates at the ratifying conventions in these four states make it clear that the delegates wanted to guarantee the right of the states to have militias, despite the constitutional empowerment to the Congress to arm the militias."
National Rifle Association Has Turned the Second Amendment Into a Cruel and Deadly Hoax
Posted by Cliff Lyon in 2nd Second Amendment, Activist groups, Alan Korwin, assault weapons, Bush Failures, Gabrielle Giffords, Gun Control, John Lott, Mass Shooting, NRA, Republicans, Society, Some people should not own guns, Supreme Court, The Constitution on December 21, 2012
The NRA is the enabler of death-paranoid, delusional and as venomous as a scorpion. With the weak-kneed acquiescence of our politicians, the National Rifle Association has turned the Second Amendment of the Constitution into a cruel and deadly hoax. – Bill Moyers
Bill Moyers Essay: Living Under the Gun from BillMoyers.com on Vimeo.
The procession of funerals of innocent children under the casual gaze of the gun lobby and 2nd Amendment zealots, reminds us that our public spaces are no longer safe. This is the antithesis of freedom and civic life. Americans must rise up now against this terror and demand basic security for unarmed people.
Dead Kids at Sandy Hook Thanks to NRA/Gun Lobby Demonstrable Lies and Distortions
Posted by Cliff Lyon in Alan Korwin, Gun Control, Mass Shooting, NRA on December 16, 2012
Thoroughly debunked years ago, the gun lobby's favorite research – a 1995 study by Gary Kleck and Marc Gertz that reported an astounding 2.5 million defense gun uses (DGU) each year in the United States. Yep, you read it right; 2.5 million DGUs PER YEAR!
The Kleck study claims that 2.5 million times per year, someone uses a gun to defend themselves. That's more defensive gun uses than happened in WWII in Europe in 1944. The Kleck study is so flawed the only thing it measures is the wild imagination of gun owners.
As recently as this month, the NRA referenced Kleck's deeply flawed and thoroughly refuted study AGAIN in their magazine, America's 1st Freedom.
With the help of liars like Alan Korwin and others, the NRA continues to feed its readers demonstrable lies and distortions.
Here, for your reference, is a short list of the many peer reviewed, refereed, academic articles published that clearly refute Kleck's astronomical claim.*
- "The gun debate's new mythical number: How many defensive uses per year?" Journal of Police Analysis and Management, 1997
- "The myth of millions of annual self-defense gun use: A case study of survey overestimates of rare events" Chance – American Statistical Association, 1997
- "Defensive Gun Uses: New Evidence from a National Survey" Journal of Quantitative Criminology, 1998
- "The Relative Frequency of Offensive and Defensive Gun Uses: Results from a National Survey", Violence and Victims, 2000
- "Myths about Defensive Gun Use and Permissive Gun Carry Laws" Berkeley Media Studies Group, 2000
- "Comparing the Incidence of Self-Defense Gun Use and Criminal Gun Use" Harvard Injury Control Research Center, 2009
The ultimate proof the Kleck claim is bullshit, is the fact that despite spending 35 million dollars/year to deceive the public and threaten politicians, in fourteen years since the study, the gun lobby has funded numerous FAILED attempts to repeat Kleck's study.
*It should be noted that Gary Kleck has refused to defend his study ever since it was published.
Note to readers: OneUtah is a leading publisher of accurate, trustworthy, legal and scientific information about gun rights, guns, violence, gun violence and the psychology of CCP holders. Read more about guns and meet the gun lobby.

Toni Garrn showed up last night at Leonardo DiCaprio's fundraiser. I hate this green dress. It looks like Elie Saab. That's probably why I hate it.
Selena Gomez was there too. With her new best friend Cara Delevingne. The reason I'm putting Selena and Toni in the same post? I just wanted to mention that Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend is the same age as Selena Gomez. They both just, like just in the same month, turned 22 years old.
So, Selena is right in Leo's sweet spot, between 20 – 25. And Leonardo DiCaprio and Justin Bieber date in the same age pool.

Many Strong Voices recently became an Observer at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), cementing its position as an international lobbying platform for vulnerable communities of the Arctic and in Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
Coordinated by GRID-Arendal and the Centre of International Climate and Environmental Research - Oslo (CICERO), the Many Strong Voices (MSV) programme aims to promote the well-being, security, and sustainability of coastal communities in the Arctic and SIDS. While the two regions may at first glance appear to have little in common, they are both barometers of global environmental change and are already feeling the effects of climate change. They share characteristics of vulnerability and resilience, and both of their environments are sensitive to climate change impacts. MSV works with organisations from these two regions and others around the world to take action on climate change mitigation and adaptation, and to share stories of vulnerability and resilience with the world.
One of the objectives of the programme is to build a stronger voice for the people of the Arctic and SIDS in negotiating measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and in developing and implementing climate adaptation strategies. MSV's partners were instrumental in ensuring that human rights language was incorporated into the Cancun Agreement produced by the UNFCCC's Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action in 2010. By becoming an observer at the IPCC, MSV hopes to encourage more traditional and indigenous knowledge in future Assessment Reports. On a practical level, this status has allowed MSV's network to become involved in the review process of the next Assessment Report, slated for publication in 2014.

Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has been recognized as one of the top Cardiology & Heart Surgery hospitals in the nation for 2016-2017 by U.S. News & World Report.
A Holter monitor is a small, wearable device that keeps track of your heart rhythm. Your doctor may want you to wear a Holter monitor for one to two days. During that time, the device records all of your heartbeats.
A Holter monitor test is usually performed after a traditional test to check your heart rhythm (electrocardiogram) if the electrocardiogram doesn't give your doctor enough information about your heart's condition.
Your doctor uses information captured on the Holter monitor to figure out if you have a heart rhythm problem. If standard Holter monitoring doesn't capture your irregular heartbeat, your doctor may suggest a wireless Holter monitor, which can work for weeks.
While wearing a Holter monitor may be a little inconvenient, it's an important test that may help your doctor diagnose your condition.

FBI: Man robbed bank on UT campus with fake bomb
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Knoxville authorities are looking for a man they say robbed the UT Federal Credit Union on the campus of the University of Tennessee earlier today.
The FBI is investigating, along with the UT and Knoxville police departments.
The man pictured above was captured on bank security cameras. Police say he walked in wearing medical scrubs and a dust mask, sat a package on the counter and told the clerk it was a bomb.
He demanded money from the clerk. He was given an undetermined amount and fled on foot, leaving the package behind. A KPD explosives team later discovered the box was not a bomb.
Police are still searching for the man. Anyone with information is asked to call the Knoxville FBI at 865-544-0751, the University Police Department at 865-974-3114, or KPD at 865-215-7212. A reward is being offered for information that leads to his arrest.
The full press release from the Knoxville FBI is as follows:
"The Knoxville Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Chief Troy Lane of the University of Tennessee (UT) Police Department, and Chief David Rausch of the Knoxville Police Department (KPD) are seeking the public's assistance in identifying the man who robbed the UT Federal Credit Union (UTFCU) today, in the University Center, on the UT campus in Knoxville.
At approximately 11:30 a.m. on August 26, 2013, a man entered the UTFCU, at 1502 Cumberland Avenue, Knoxville, Tennessee. The subject placed a package on the counter, claiming that it was a bomb, and demanded money from the credit union employees. After obtaining an undetermined amount of money from the credit union, the subject fled on foot, east on Cumberland Avenue, leaving the suspicious package behind. The KPD Explosive Ordinance Disposal Team determined the package to be a hoax device.
The subject is described as:
• Black Male
• Age: Late 40's to early 50's
• Weight: 180-190 pounds
• Height: 6' to 6'02"
• Wearing white medical scrubs, consisting of a short sleeved shirt and long pants, with a grey striped polo shirt underneath, black ball cap, a white 3M dust mask, and one blue latex glove.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Knoxville FBI at 865-544-0751, the University Police Department at 865-974-3114, or KPD at 865-215-7212. A reward is being offered for information that leads to the arrest of this individual.
This matter is being investigated jointly by the University of Tennessee Police Department, the KPD Major Crimes Unit, and the FBI Safe Streets Task Force (SSTF), composed of the FBI, KPD, and the KCSO."

Horizon: Zero Dawn review
I have a confession: when I first saw Horizon Zero Dawn back in 2015 I let out a big ostentatious yawn to signal that I was unimpressed.

Nintendo's Switch console can be hooked up to a TV, played as a handheld device, or used without even looking at a screen.
Many gamers will be no stranger to the name Larry Hyrb, better known as Major Nelson.
Is vidya a big part of your life? Was your first console the Atari 2600? If you're too young to remember that, here's a quick history lesson…
Nintendo just revealed its new Nintendo Switch console... and handheld. This thing is funky.
MailOnX is the Xbox One's first email app, because nothing says gaming like productivity software.
It's no Elite controller, but the new Xbox One S controller is a step up from the original stock Xbox One gamepad—and a colorful one at that, if you use the Xbox Design Lab.
Microsoft has confirmed that the next-gen "Project Scorpio" Xbox will run games at native 4K resolution. But hitting that goal likely involves some compromises.
Sony's latest update to the PlayStation 4's system software adds high dynamic range support for older consoles.
The Sony PlayStation 4 Slim is smaller, quieter, more efficient—but the same three-year-old hardware sitting inside.
Microsoft envisions a future where headsets, keyboards, controllers, and all your PC peripherals run seamlessly on the Xbox One's wireless signal. But should you care?
Microsoft's shrunken Xbox One S console will launch alongside the Windows 10 Anniversary Update on August 2.
Twenty-thousand lucky Xbox One Preview Program participants are getting their first look at the console's first universal Windows app, and it's a Blu-ray player.
Pretty soon you'll be able to run circles around your controller-centric friends on the Xbox One thanks to keyboard and mouse support.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Triveratrol Plus® provides an elite team of cutting-edge ingredients to:
- Support healthy aging
- Provide antioxidant support
- Protect against harmful free radicals
- Promote overall health and well being
In this day and age, we are fortunate enough to have more resources available than ever before to help us better understand healthy aging—leading us to a better quality of life. It's not just the length of your life that's important, it's the quality of those years that is the key to your health and vitality.
One of the most important ways to support healthy aging is to protect your body from harmful free radicals. That's why my research team and I combined four multifaceted ingredients—including a powerful antioxidant—in my Triveratrol Plus. This unique, healthy aging supplement supports your body's systems on the cellular level. If you are looking to support an active, healthy life as you age, Triveratrol Plus is the perfect foundational supplement for you!
Powerful antioxidant protection with four plant-based ingredients
My exclusive combination of four patented extracts supports healthy aging from the inside out—starting at the cellular level, to help protect against harmful free radicals and oxidative stress. Traditionally used, plant-based ingredients from around the world—such as green tea, aloe, grapes, and turmeric—give you healthful phytonutrients and phytochemicals to help keep your heart, skin, and cells healthy and vibrant.
With Triveratrol Plus, you get all these plant-based nutrients in just two capsules per day:
- 200 mg Meriva® Curcumin Extract
- 100 mg OxyPhyte® Green Tea Extract
- 180 mg ResVinol-25™
- 100 mg ACTIValoe® Aloe Vera Extract
Support a healthy inflammatory response
Native to India and Southeast Asia, turmeric has been used traditionally for thousands of years to support a healthy inflammatory response in the body. The active principle in turmeric—curcumin—is most commonly known for its use as a spice in food preparation, but is also believed to have beneficial antioxidant properties.
Unfortunately, curcumin is notoriously difficult for your body to absorb—that's where Meriva® Curcumin Extract comes in. This special branded form of curcumin is both water- and lipid-soluble and the proprietary phytosome process makes it more bioavailable and easily absorbed to support cellular health and protect you from free radicals. Plus, it helps maintain a healthy immune response and contributes to vascular health.
After I discovered all the many health benefits in this unique ingredient, I just had to include it in Triveratrol Plus.
NEW! Beneficial green tea, highly concentrated
Plants with polyphenol antioxidant activity have been used in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic cultures for centuries. And the plant containing one of the most beneficial polyphenols? Yes, it's green tea!
I included OxyPhyte® Green Tea Extract in Triveratrol Plus because this powerful extract provides similar health benefits to drinking a cup of green tea—but in a concentrated, caffeine-free form. Plus, the two important polyphenols in OxyPhyte Green Tea Extract—epigallocatechin-3 gallate (EGCG) and catechins—help protect your cells from harmful free radicals and support healthy cellular function and overall well-being.
High-quality blend provides protection from harmful free radicals
ResVinol-25™ is a combination of a readily absorbed form of trans-resveratrol and red wine polyphenols—a high-quality blend similar to that found in red wine. The red wine polyphenols—one of nature's most powerful antioxidants—have amazing benefits to support your skin, brain, heart, and overall health.
Nourish your body with robust polyphenol antioxidants
With approximately 200 compounds—including powerful polyphenol antioxidants—responsible for its biological activity, aloe is a complex plant loaded with a variety of health benefits. ACTIValoe® Aloe Vera Extract—a special, high-quality aloe extract—is harvested and processed to preserve the properties of the aloe plant and uses a patented manufacturing process that guarantees freshness. Bursting with benefits to keep your heart, skin, and all your cells healthy and vibrant, it was an obvious choice for my Triveratrol Plus healthy aging formula.
My exclusive, high-quality healthy aging supplement, Triveratrol Plus, is loaded with botanical antioxidants that work to nourish and protect your overall health—starting at the cellular level. I encourage you to give Triveratrol Plus a try to help you continue to enjoy the things you love in life.

Science and Quality
Meriva®: A Bioavailable Curcumin
Curcumin—the active ingredient in turmeric—has been used for centuries to ease joint discomfort and help lower inflammatory markers in the body. Unfortunately, curcumin shows extremely poor oral absorption. To achieve higher bioavailability for curcumin, scientists attached curcumin molecules to phytosomes—plant extracts with double-soluble absorption properties—which shuttles the ingredient through cell membranes. Meriva uses this method to provide the body with curcumin's wonderful benefits.
ResVinol-25™: Unique Blend Provides Powerful Antioxidant Support
Age-related decline can be attributed to many things, but a common theory of aging is called the free-radical theory. The idea behind this theory comes from the harmful oxidation of lipids, proteins, snippets of DNA and other key components of cells over time, eventually affecting your biological systems. Supplementing with antioxidants has been shown to help protect your cells from harmful free radicals and support healthy aging.
ResVinol-25—a key ingredient in Triveratrol Plus—includes a unique combination of resveratrol and red wine polyphenols, standardized to 25% trans-resveratrol and 20% red wine polyphenols. This high-quality blend contains the same polyphenols only available in wine.
Resveratrol—a water- and fat-soluble polyphenol antioxidant—is able to cross into cells and quench harmful free radicals which may help support healthy aging. Although resveratrol exists in both the cis- and trans-forms, the trans-form is believed to be more biologically active and beneficial. 1,2

What is this? Who actually goes out and buys a beer pong table? Not to be that grandma who likes to remind everyone that when she was a child, they ate what they were given and they didn't complain if all they had was chipped beef on toast because there was a war happening, but when I was in college any of these would have worked as beer pong tables:
Now you can get folding tables that are designated for beer pong. See full article.

The striking Co-op miners were supported in their cause by people from as far away as San Francisco, Calif. They met at noon on Feb. 7 where the Bear Canyon road meets SR-31 in Huntington Canyon. The miners have been on strike since mid-September against the CW Mining Company. Unfair labor practice charges have been filed with the National Labor Relations Board and a ruling has yet to be made in the case at this time.
A bus carrying supporters left Salt Lake and a car caravan traveled to the picket site. The 17 member drill team from the International Longshore and Warehouse Union #10 from San Francisco, Calif. traveled to Utah to show their support for the miner's cause. The drill team performed at the picket line and also at a solidarity rally held later on at the Canyon View Junior High School in Huntington. A Mexican meal was served at the school and speakers from the UMWA, striking miners, and Utah Jobs with Justice as well as the ILWU addressed the crowd.
The miners are standing firm and continue to gain solidarity from around the country. Four miners recently traveled to the Bay Area of California. They were invited by the Labor Council for Latin Americans. They spoke before unions in San Francisco and San Jose, Calif. and they raised more than $10,000 in contributions for the strike.
Two miners will be traveling to Boston, Mass. in March for a one week tour. The tour is being organized by Massachusetts Jobs with Justice and the miners will speak at union meetings in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Bill Estrada and Ana Maria Sanchez spoke at a meeting organized by students at the University of Utah in Salt Lake. The UMWA and Jobs with Justice is organizing an information picket line in front of a Kingston family owned business in Salt Lake on Feb. 21. The CW Mining company is owned by the wealthy, polygamous Kingston family. The secretive group has amassed a $150 million business empire, running Utah companies that include pawn shops, restaurant supply stores and others.
The miners have received many letters of support and donations that have been sent to the UMWA District 22 Office in Price and the UMWA Region IV Western Organizing Office in Wheatridge, Colo. The National Union of Mineworkers in Yorkshire, England recently sent a letter of support and $1,700 to the miners cause.
Miners report they will remain true to the cause as they have diligently demonstrated and fought over and over for the right to justice on the job and worker solidarity. Contributions can be sent to the Co-op Miners Relief Fund, UMWA District 22, 525 East 100 South, Price, UT 84501.

"I got these in blue & they are beautiful! I haven't worn them out yet, but definitely will. I followed all the other reviewers' advice & ordered half a size up (I am a size 5.5, ordered a 6) & they fit perfectly! There's a nice platform so it should be fairly comfortable & there's a strap so no worries about your foot lifting out of the shoe. The jewels on the heels are tastefully done."

I Feel Fancy!
"Cobalt Blue is one my most favorite colors! These shoes are a perfect match to my sweaters and summer tops too. They look great with black too. They are tame enough to wear to work and fancy enough for New Year's Eve. They run just a little small and tight so I bought a half size bigger than normal and I love, love, love them!"

Gordon's greatest love was his family. He loved his children and grandchildren more than anything. They are his greatest joy! He was always looking for ways to serve and help those in need - that is what made him happy. His heart was huge and his love unconditional. He enjoyed working hard, watching sports, playing golf, hunting, fishing and a nice long visit with everyone he met. He served as a member of the Emery County Search and Rescue for 25 years. He received his 50 year pin from the Operating Engineers Local #3 and was a lifetime member of the Elks.
He is survived by his children: Doug (Chris) Pace and Julie Jensen; brother Bill (Helen) Pace; grandchildren: Christopher Pace, Jackson Pace, and Aubrey Jensen; great grandchildren: Carson Pace, Cooper Pace, Addyson Pace, Rilynn Pace, Keegan Hickok, and Kamden Lofthouse.
He was preceded in death by his parents, wife, and brother, Cliff Pace.
Graveside services were held Saturday, Nov. 9, 2013 at 2 p.m. at the Ferron Cemetery. A viewing was held Saturday, from 12:30-1:30 p.m. at the Ferron Millsite LDS Church (35 West 200 North) prior to the services. Services are in the care of Fausett Mortuary. Friends and family may sign the guest book and share memories of Gordon at www.fausettmortuary.com.

Clay Moden
I'm a local boy, born and raised…the youngest of five kids (but I have a twin sister). I live in East Aurora with my dog Pepper, who is one of the best retrievers in the area (in my opinion). I love the outdoors -- hunting, fishing, running, you name it. If I didn't work in radio, I would probably pursue a lifelong dream to own a beef cattle farm. My father and mother always taught me that helping people should be my number-one priority, so that's what I hope to do by being your source of fun and country music every weekday morning!

Theme: Cities & Suburbs
Artist: Clarice BECKETT
Birth/Death: 1887–1935
Title: Collins Street, evening
Credit Line: National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.
Clarice Beckett's paintings have been compared to W.B. Yeats' statement that his poems were made out of a mouthful of air. Collins Street, evening 1931 could be described as a damp winter's exhalation.
Clarice Beckett was absorbed by seemingly ordinary subjects, including suburban roads captured at dawn or twilight. She transformed them into images of intense observation and beauty.
It was Beckett's desire to hang her works in groups according to theme, thereby creating a visual resonance and rhythm. 'My pictures, like music, should speak for themselves', she said.

Skip to comments.Pro-life video of the day: Churchgoers boo pro-lifer for questioning Sebelius
Posted on 10/01/2012 6:05:57 PM PDT by Morgana
This past weekend, a pro-life protestor was booed at a D.C. church for attempting to ask Kathleen Sebelius a question regarding the HHS contraception mandate at a forum following the church service.
From WorldNetDaily:
Brandi Swindell [pictured right], National Director of Generation Life, a pro-life group dedicated to mobilizing activists, students, artists, musicians and young professionals to end abortion and spread the message of sexual integrity, told WND that she had a divine appointment in Washington today.
Three of us chose to attend church at St. Johns this morning, Swindell said, and at the last minute found out that Kathleen Sebelius, the architect of the HHS Mandate, was holding an adult forum between services.
Swindell told WND that she got the secretarys attention, and in front of a packed auditorium asked her, Why are you forcing the American people to pay for abortion-inducing drugs that harm women? Its a severe violation of religious freedom.
The secretary ignored the question and left the stage
I just pray it wasn't a Catholic Church.
If Catholics Booed her they need to look into going to another religion.
Isn't that the one barry shows up in once a year? Close to the WH.
Is that the same one that Bill Clinton used to carry a 40 pound Bible to?
Is this it?
And crawled into the church on broken glass bare kneed?
Good job. And by the way, the conservative vs. liberal women rule certainly applies here.
That's fine. They're not Christian anyway.
Must be a new age church...lots of hanky panky goes on there I bet.
Holy smokin' pro-life babe!
I think this is an Episcopal church. If it's the St. John's on Lafayette Square, it sure isn't Catholic. They have a female minister.
And wearing a horse hair shirt.
No kidding! Looks, brains and the courage that comes from her convictions. Beautiful inside & out.
Secretary Sibelius has the mentality of a little dictator.
Anyone have a clue as to which church in DC this was?
This, probably. ECUSA, and it's what comes up g00gling for "st. john's church D.C.".
It's a bad gene pool. Her father was an idiot liberal Dem governor of Ohio.
St. John's is an Episcopal church very close to the White House.
People who can't read the facts before they comment are far more lost than the Catholic Church.
Has the Catholic Church refused to give the Sacrement to Nancy Pelosi or John Kerry recently?
It might be, I don't know.
Waggs do you have any idea?
The Episcopal Church is no longer a Christian denomination. It is a Communist-front run by Communist to advance Communism in America and around the globe. The people in the pews are dedicated Communists for the most part — call them Communists who enjoy socializing at once-prominent parishes and lovers of ceremony for ceremony's sake.
Sermons at parishes like St. John's in the wicked Diocese of Washington are invariably Communist and multicultural and homosexualist rants, distorting Scripture like only Satan can do. One Episcopal dean of a "seminary" — a flaming dyke — calls abortion a holy sacrament. I kid you not. This people are pure, unadulturated evil who have stolen the funds of Christians ancestors to wage war against our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and God Almighty Himself. They belong in Hell — the sooner the better.
waggs do you have a clue? How about you LJ?
In their own words, St. John's is a, ". . . historic protestant Episcopal church located across from the White House."
St John (Episcopagan)
I find it very consistent that churchgoers would boo her. After all, the Episcopagans were the first Protestant denomination to give an official blessing to the use of artificial contraceptives (1935 Lambeth Conference).
I suspected it was the Episcopagan one, just did not want to jump to conclusions.
Yes the "abortion is a sacrament" kinda gives them away, don't it?
Care to apologize for your rash judgment and potty language, or aren't you man/woman enough??
Speaking the truth in an Episcopal Church!! I bet there was more than the former Kansas Governor squirming in their skin.
If this is the St. John's Episcopal Church near the White House, I attended a worship service there on January 19, 1969. The service was magisterial and liturgical, in the Episcopalian tradition. I'm sure it is a very liberal church today.
Sounds as though our current president would find a spiritual home at St. Johns if he wanted to.
If I should find myself once again in DC on a Sunday, I'll have to find another place to worship.
That would be an improvement over what D.C. is now.
Seriously, why is anyone be against protecting life?
I spit on D.C.!
LOL, that makes me think of my late grandfather, a Primitive Baptist. He said Episcopalians look upon the truth like a fart at a funeral. That was over forty years ago.
Now, now, now, it's a perfectly reasonable assumption. Who would have thought that an Episcopagan church would have been named after a saint. After all, it's not like there are any Lutheran St Johns, or Methodist St Johns, or Presbyterian St Johns, or Baptist St Johns, or UCC St Johns. Why, of course, when one hears "St. John's," one would, of course, think Catholic.
Apparently so. Look at their Forum schedule:
September 30 -- The Honorable Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services.
"Has the Catholic Church refused to give the Sacrement to Nancy Pelosi or John Kerry recently?"
LOL. It figures, just more of the same old, worn out, noise.
But, that's Ok. I understand that pointing out Catholics who behave just like Protestants is the only way some people have of avoiding the fact that the majority of Protestants are no longer Christian.
The US is now and always has been overwhelmingly Protestant.
Why not step up, take a bow, and accept a share of the credit for helping to build the wonderful Protestant society the Protestant majority has created in this country?
Oh, and by the by, both those folks have been told not to bother trying to take Communion in various parts of the country by a number of Bishops. Including now Cardinal Burke. I'm sure they can find some priest or bishop who wants to be Protestant in all but name and will permit them to partake, though.
You know, the sort people who if Protestant would deliver the prayer at the King Barry coronation or run a mega church that doesn't see anything wrong with queers marrying one another. That sort of priest and bishop can't stand being in the minority in this overwhelmingly Protestant nation and so they behave like Protestants in hopes of being accepted by the majority.
Fortunately for the majority of folks who claim to be Protestant Christians, they have no need to dig up a liberal priest since they're each their own highest authority. They would never deny themselves communion, nor would they deny themselves contraception, abortion, queer pastors, queer weddings, or anything else MTV and Hollyweird tell them is "the thing to do".
have a nice day
Well, not necessarily reasonable, but when I was young its what I thought. Catholics are into saints, the reasoning goes, so a church named after a saint is probably Catholic. Childish, perhaps, but no reason to think there was any ill intent. As a young Baptist, there was just us versus all those formal, liturgical places. Hillbilly Baptist, mind you. many transplants from Kentucky and Tennessee. My dad took us there because the Methodists had gone liberal. That was half a century ago. Sigh. Good times. Where I learned to love the Scriptures. Good people.
My goodness. It must really offend your sensibilities to reside in this country. There are majority Catholic countries in the world, you know. Maybe you should expatriate to one.
You need to get out more. If that's your view of American Christianity apart from Rome, you're welcome to it, but It's not what I grew up with. What you just described sounds more like my Catholic relatives in the Chicago area. They pushed abortion and a life of misery on someone I dearly love. No. I don't generalize against the whole Catholic membership because of that bad experience. The Lord knows those that are his. Just saying that hearing the stereotypes that tear down people who love the same God and the same Jesus and mostly the same Bible, well, I'm not sure who that edifies. But your stereotypes do not match the reality for a whole lot of people. That's why I try to avoid them. Stereotypes, that is. I'm ok with people. :)
Wow - what "christians"! They need bumper stickers - No Fetus Can Beat Us!
Glad you told me. I could not tell from their website they are Eposcopal.
Well, thank God for that. At least it wasn't Christians who were booing.
Looks like an old post-apocalyptic PC first-person shooter video game.
That is why I prefer out west anyway.
St. John's Episcopal Church, on the other side of Lafayette Park from the White House The Bushes frequently attended services there. Most First Families worship there from time to time during tenancy at the White House.
Like most Episcopal parishes in the past decade or two, it's become a pathetically liberal congregation. Old time Episcopalians have long since sought religious homes elsewhere.
Well said, sir.
"But your stereotypes do not match the reality for a whole lot of people."
It was a Mr Stereotype I was responding to and there are a great many clones of him running around these parts.
That being the case, it's rather odd that the those who "stay away from stereotypes" so seldom speak up to counter the constant stream of negative stereotypes posted about Catholics. Ignoring the posts full of such stereotypes is at the very least tacit agreement with exactly the sort of thing you say you "stay away from".
There is no stereotyping involved in the posting of facts, and I posted facts. One, that the overwhelming majority of people in this country are Protestant, and two that the society we live in has been shaped primarily by that overwhelming majority.
While there are plenty of Catholics who are Catholic in name only and plenty of true faithful Christians among the Protestant majority in this country, neither of those facts changes the third and more important fact. That third fact is that the Protestant doctrine of individual interpretation of Scripture is the wellspring the relativism that has all but destroyed the Christian social order in this country flows from.
Individual interpretation enshrines the individual, not Christ, and has led to the now prevalent idea that there is no absolute truth valid for all people, in all places, at all times. That relativism in and of itself is a denial of Christianity and that denial of Christianity flows directly from an acceptance of fundamental Protestant doctrine. Relativism, in turn, is what has undermined Christianity in this country and given us the society we now have.
There are a lot of Catholics anxious to be Protestant in all but name who echo and implement the Protestant doctrine of personal interpretation in spite of still calling themselves Catholic. Such Cafeteria Catholics are in reality just little clones of Luther staging their own personal revolt against The One True Church. Those little revolts lead to the same destination the Protestant revolt leads to. That destination is a humanist society that worships and enshrines as the final authority in all things not Christ, but The Most High and Holy Self
The real irony here is that it is Aquinas, not Luther, who, at least according to some, opened that Pandoras box:
Philosopher Leonard Peikoff, a Randian Objectivist, and therefore certainly not a Protestant, writes:
Whator whoended the Middle Ages? My answer is: Thomas Aquinas, who introduced Aristotle, and thereby reason, into medieval culture. In the thirteenth century, for the first time in a millennium, Aquinas reasserted in the West the basic pagan approach. Reason, he said in opposition to Augustine, does not rest on faith; it is a self-contained, natural faculty, which works on sense experience. Its essential task is not to clarify revelation, but rather, as Aristotle had said, to gain knowledge of this world. Men, Aquinas declared forthrightly, must use and obey reason; whatever one can prove by reason and logic, he said, is true. Aquinas himself taught that faith is valuable as a supplement to reason. But this did not alter the nature of his revolution. His was the charter of liberty, the moral and philosophical sanction which the West desperately needed. His message to mankind, after the long ordeal of faith, was in effect: It is all right. You dont have to stifle your mind anymore. You can think.
And that is how I also learned the history of the evolution of the enlightenment, though I learned this from a Christian law school professor who was Catholic in sympathies if not formally so, though I do believe Peikoff also oversimplifies things. Aquinas began a noble project, not intended to contaminate Christian thought with pagan constructs, but to recapture the good from Aristotle and consolidate it under the banner of Christendom. But in that process he moved away from the Augustinian relationship between faith and reason and made them out to be near equal companions rather than master and servant. This paved the way for the founding of modern philosophy as an independent exercise of reason, and made fertile ground for the Darwinian scientific revolution in thought, which has far more to do with modern relativism than anything Luther and Calvin cooked up. If anything, their reform views were a serious attempt to reinstate the Augustinian balance, and thus represent the more conservative impulse.
Now I know we can and probably will go on at great length about the whole constellation of issues that separate us, and thats all well and good if it is conducted with some mutual respect, and with a view to building up and not tearing down. But please understand, we who honor Christ, and the words of Christ, are not even going as far as your own Aquinas in terms of liberating our reason, but are merely using the natural reason God gave all men, aided by Gods own Spirit, who is specially promised to all who believe, to subject ourselves to the authority of the God-breathed Scriptures, not ourselves or other men, which is why we share a common confession in so many important particulars with our separated brethren across the Tiber. Its in the Book, for all to see. We should be careful not to disturb the cords that bind us, if at all possible, and especially for reasons that have so little basis in fact.
If they were booing it clearly wasn't even a Christian church, regardless of what it calls itself.

It is NOT the player that asked for tredmill based progression on MMOs. The expectation of a tredmil gear grind comes from a WoW mentality. There was post made here many years ago about WoW being more grindy than any of the old school MMOs because of the tredmil that never ends. It really wasn't taken seriously at the time that this would be the end of MMOs as we know it. Somehow, games changed from being a journey as the means to its own end to the game doesn't start until endgame when you begin the gear grind tredmil. If people are ever going to see a change in the way MMOs are made and played they are going to have to reject themeparks like guild wars 2 and keep waiting for that sandbox.
I agree with this completely. I do not want to turn this into another Themepark Vs Sandbox debate but much of what made MMO's of the pre-WoW era a success is now missing from the current breed. 90% of modern MMO player have been raised on a diet of themeparks and have never experienced anything else; hell, most of them have no idea what a good MMO community is like. They have never experienced player interdependency, player built settlements, non-combat classes, crafting that actually mattered, true exploration in a world that changed dependent on player actions, PvP that actually had a point other than getting enough points for a new bloody helmet etc. Past games were far from perfect but a lot of that glue that bound the community together has been lost completely, we need to get it back.

I have a question...what is this magical sandbox content that does not involve pvp?
Crafting, building, creating rather than destroying, non-combat classes, politics etc.
Originally posted by Ausare
Sounds boring.
What is more boring than doing the exact same thing hour after hour to grind gear?
I am mainly a pvppve player but i take a role playing approach to every game i play and maybe that's why i don't need the best gear and shit to have fun.I like to relate to my character,i explore,do quest and actually read the text every time.
I think if people would take the same approach as i when it comes to mmorpgs they would last longer.
i don't need the carrot,i got my character.

Crafting sounds the same as raiding in that you grind mats to make that next item.
Building. What are you building? Whst is its point?
Non combat...so basically a graphical chat room...i have real bars for that.
Politics...npc politics? Remember non pvp.
You are showing that you have never played a sandbox as you have absolutely no clue about them. Just on the points you mentioned and I will use Pre CU / NGE SWG as an example:
Crafting produced the best items in the game, better than anything that dropped as loot providing the crafter was a good one. Items were not cookie cutter and all the same as they are in themepark games. The best weapons in SWG required the best quality mats and a high level of skill on the part of the crafter. Gathering the mats was done by an automated harvester if you had the ability to use them. Some of these had to be put in very dangerous locations as this is where the mats were located. This saw crafters hiring guards to escort them while they collected from the harvesters.
Building: Cities and settlements including player owned shops, amenities, spaceport etc. Architect was a character class in SWG. Other non combat classes were entertainer, medic etc. and before you say 'boring' you would be amazed just how many people enjoyed playing these classes. The cantinas in the cities would be full to overflowing some nights and you would be surprised how many friends you could make and deals you could strike while waiting for a medic to treat your wounds in the med centre.
Sandboxes require more commitment from the player than themeparks do, they do not hold your hand and guide you down a linear path. They give you the world and the tools to live in that world and then leave you to it.

This guys make games, are "experts" doing so... sell milions of copys and then can't retain players. Obviously its our fault -.- The degree of amatourism and lack of respect for players blow away all my imagination. Maybe when "you" guys reach my age you start to be in the people's side instead of going blind with all the fanboyism and understand that.. if games are rushed into endgame in one month ITS BECAUSE THE GAME MAKE IT POSSIBLE. All is handed to you, fast and easy. God bless EVE and all its fails! o7
wouldn't have put it quite that way, but I agree with your sentiment. The OP was superficial and uninteresting.

1 million percent agree with this. People are their own worst enemies. It seems like many are more motivated by their ego and greed rather than just playing a game for fun's sake. I think this is largely a result of societies competitive attitude bleeding over to wherever it can, distorting peoples perceptions.
I concur 100# with you and the Reddit poster.
I for one am happy as hell that there is a new, fresh and exciting MMO that takes some good old fashion grinding. Why you ask? Because it is fun and I dont need anyone else other then me, I am not beholden to any raid setting or elitist pricks. I can play GW2 my way, progress at my rate, and still at the end of the day have a metric butt load of endgame activities to pursue.

What do you think D&D was for all those years? It was just people sitting around a table talking to each other about a fantasy world they all enjoyed and were exploring together. It certainly was not about a the loot carrot or this made up term called progression. The fun was in the slow journey to the destination.
I've read the OP. I looked over some of the posts here. I don't think i agree with the poster IN the OP, (since the OP was just bringing us this post over from another source). I cannot agree with the fact that the players are ruining the genre...though I might have agreed years ago. I think that the OP countered his own point with the games he listed. I'll try to explain.
All games have a design structure that governs how the flow of the game is supposed to be for a player. The reason we love Modern Warfare and not MMO PvP is because of the flow. Same with why we love doing nothing on Skyrim versus doing nothing on WoW. Those games have a different flow. MMO gaming is desinged to be extremely gated. If you literally compare the content, (NPC's, quests, crafting, side quests, ect.) of Skyrim to WoW...you'd notice that they are pretty similar. But to enjoy that content in WoW you'd have to spend years playing it. The content is fed to us from a smaller spoon. Skyrim has grand and epic things happen, and some of them aren't even scripted. I fast travelled to a mine to get some ore and had to fight off two dragons, (whom were actually battling each other till I got there), across two mountains and spanning a time of 15 minutes. That was a regular moment in Skyrim. In an MMO that same encounter would require me to grind to endgame and be geared out and have a large group with me. And it would be scripted. I was harvesting a bloody node, for all intents and purposes, and had what, in most MMO's, would have been a major boss battle. In 15 minutes. The same battle would have taken an hour in MMO terms.
That doesn't even include flavor. Flavor, like little sprinkels of awesome cast across dull cake. Harvesting a material in an MMO is just me running around mindlessly. There are rarely ever extra things in that. Some mobs to kill at most. I was grabbing some berries in skyrim and say a house in the distance. That house wasn't in any quest. It was just a flavor point. It belonged to some old alchemist, he made a garden there. Had a diary in his bedroom. Told about his recent experiences. You could tell that they really LIVED that guy for a moment when they made the game. His whole area had a feeling about it, serene and nice. It had flavor. It was interesting, and it served NO purpose.
Its not that a player enjoys something in one game and hates it in another because we're stupid. Some games just DO things better. The design structure of the game is better, and better supports those things. MMO's are money grabs by the market. They are the Farmville of rpg gaming. Novel, sorta fun, but mostly giant time gates backed by an entry fee. No matter how good they are...they always have much larger gates than single player games. Recall my mention of Modern Warfare? Players like pointless PvP in that because its faster. 5 minutes, maybe 10. Action is geared so fast is makes your head spin. Because its so short per match...you can come and go fast if you wanna. You aren't shooting for some crazy goal..yeah they have progression but its a backseat reward. The real reward is that one moment...the crazy knife throw that kills someone across a map or the predator missle that drops 5 guys. That moment where you are superman. You ARE the condition for victory and you feel it. MMO games can't have that...they are RPGs. Games built around stats, and playing them is a game of playing those values. You are a small part of a big puzzle and there is a time gate in place to make sure you have to keep playing for months before you can make those values better so your side can win. Even with starter gear in MW3 you can be a superman. A level 1 player is not one shotting a level 80 in any MMO.
It is not the player...it IS the game. The genre does not know how to exist. It has yet to learn how best to provide content to players who consume it so fast. Games like minecraft know it....Bethesda knows it. You give them a game, you fill it more full that you ever thought you could. Then you give them the power to make a game their own. to make their own content. To make the world itself create new content. But what you do NOT do...what you cannot do...is gate the content. You cannot slow the player...let the player run wild. What MMO gaming NEEDS is not more content. Not nicer players. It needs revision. It needs to have games that create their own content and tools for players to create content too. When you have millions of players in your world...200 people just can't make content large enough or well enough. Stop thinking players as mice in your maze and think of them as tools at your disposal. Let them shape the game into what they want. And give them a world that can shape itself as well, to amaze them. The genre suffers because the worlds we play in are stagnant, set in stone. Nothing really changes...and we have to play in them for years. An ever changing world, now that would be something. I'd pay a sub for that.

The original D&D idea of having people sitting around talking is out of date. How many do that any more? How many are playing progression games?
The fun is the progression here ... at least for a lot of players.

A "Hollow Army" Reappraised: President Carter, Defense Budgets, and the Politics of Military Readiness
October 12, 2012
Authored by Professor Frank L. Jones.
For more than 30 years, the term "hollow army" has represented President Carter's alleged willingness to allow American military capability to deteriorate in the face of growing Soviet capability. The true story is more complicated than the metaphor suggests.
