A wife, being the romantic sort sent her husband a text:
If you are sleeping, send me your dreams.
If you are laughing, send me your smile.
If you are eating, send me a bite.
If you are drinking, send me a sip.
If you are crying, send me your tears.
I love you!
The husband, typically non-romantic, replied;
"I am sitting on the toilet. Please advise".

IntroductionThe introduced Black Rat probably entered Australia accidentally when the First Fleet unloaded cargo in Sydney Cove. It has since spread throughout Australia, particularly in the south of the continent.
A Black RatPhotographer/Source: Peter Robertson
HabitatIn Victoria, the Black Rat is known from agricultural and urban areas as well as bushland, where it is often mistaken for a native species. It is a good climber and is often found in the rooves of houses.
IdentificationThe Black Rat is easily recognised by its slender body and long tail (average length 230 mm), which is much longer than the length of the head and body (total average length 190 mm), and by its large, thin ears. The sleek coat on the rat's back may vary from black to light brown. The underbelly is usually pale grey-white. Like other species of rodents, the Black Rat has orange-yellow incisor teeth with persistent pulps.
DiseasesIn medieval Europe, the Black Rat was the main carrier of the plague bacillus, and even now its urine and faeces may carry the Salmonella bacillus.
IntroductionThe Brown Rat also arrived in Australia with the early fleets, but it is still mainly restricted to coastal cities and ports.
A Brown RatSource: Museum Victoria
HabitatIn southern areas the Brown Rat is sometimes found around farm buildings and along creek banks, but unlike the Black Rat it is not a climber and is more likely to be found in cellars, sewers around ports. If undisturbed, colonies survive in burrows.
IdentificationThe Brown Rat is a thickset, aggressive rat with a coarse brown coat, short ears and thick tail. Both the ears and the tail are often damaged and scabby. The tail in this species is shorter than the combined head and body length. Brown Rats take whatever human food is available, which can result in economic loss. Domestic strains of this rat are useful as laboratory animals and colour mutants are popular as pets.
IntroductionThe House Mouse is the most successful of the introduced rodents and is found throughout Australia. Apart from its nuisance value in urban areas, it is an economic problem in the grain industry. Plagues of mice erupt in the grain-belt approximately once every four years and the results of their intrusion into grain areas are devastating.
A House MouseSource: Ian McCann
HabitatHouse Mice are also abundant in areas of natural vegetation, often about 18 months after a fire when populations of native mammals are at low density. House Mouse numbers then decrease as native species regain numbers.
IdentificationHouse Mice are occasionally mistaken for small native rodents, even rare species. One sure method of identification is to examine the incisor teeth. House Mice have a prominent horizontal ridge on the rear of each incisor, which is not present in native species.
Native rats are often mistaken for introduced rats. In eastern Australia, people most often confuse the Bush Rat and the introduced Black Rat, Rattus rattus.
A Bush RatPhotographer/Source: David Paul
This is an easy mistake to make. The two species are similar in size and both have fur that is quite variable in its colour and pattern.
The subspecies of Bush Rat that lives in eastern Australia is called Rattus fuscipes assimilis. Any Latin scholar will tell you that the latter name, assimilis, means 'similar'. It was given the name assimilis because it looks so much like the introduced Black Rat.
Despite their similarities, there are a number of ways to distinguish between the Bush Rat and the Black Rat.
These are good identification points but it is always worth checking with a reliable expert.
Museum Victoria has a free identification service. If you would like to have something identified, you can attach a photograph to our online enquiry form or contact the Discovery Centre at the Melbourne Museum.

Hi Ben – as stated below, we don't routinely respond to all published comments as queries on our web pages, so Joseph's comment above was taken as a comment rather than a query. The image in question has since been assessed by our current Curator of Mammalogy, an expert in rodents, and he's indicated that the original animal was indeterminate from the image –we are sure that it wasn't a Swamp Rat, as Joseph suggested, and we are confident that it also was neither a Broad-toothed nor Bush Rat as well.
In any case, it was perhaps not the most useful image for the purpose of this web page, so a new image, verified with certainty as a Bush Rat, has been uploaded as a replacement that should remove any doubt – thanks for bringing this to our attention
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
Hi Max, This sort of information is not really kept by Australian state or federal institutions, but rather by the issuing entity which in this case would ...

"The paper quality is what I expected for what I chose - I did not upgrade to the heavyweight paper but perhaps should have. Everyone has been very impressed with the look of the announcements and design of the front/back and coordinated envelopes. I found it easy to customize and order and received everything promptly and as expected. Highly recommend tinyprints!"
"Loved these announcements! Great quality! I searched high and low for the perfect announcements for my husbands college graduation from med school. These were simple, modern, and perfect for my hubby!!!"
"I ordered these for my college announcements and they were perfect. They were so much more fun than the ones my college provided. I loved the thickness of the card stock and the colors. They totally fit my personality and style. I also received them much sooner than I thought I would. I would definitely order from Tiny Prints again."
"This is our third round of announcements - high school, college undergraduate, and now masters graduation. Have loved all three products, but this time around we wanted something a little different of course. This simple and elegant design was the perfect choice for us. The quality did not disappoint and the text space allowed customization of the venue for a split ceremony at her college. The back pictures collage option worked well for displaying just a few pictures for family. Awesome looking card!"
"First of all, I ran into a snag while ordering these announcements and the CEO himself emailed me back and was very helpful and warm. I really appreciated that. I just received my order yesterday. It arrived very quickly and my order was AWESOME! It was better than I expected it to be. The quality was amazing! It looks so good! Excellent paper, great print quality and even the envelopes that come free with this order are a wonderful quality. The entire presentation of the order was above and beyond. I was so pleased. I will continue to use Tiny Prints for all of my printing needs. Thank you Tiny Prints!"

"I was very impressed with the quality of this card. My son was so excited to have his picture and name on the card. He is really looking forward to giving these out on Valentine's Day."
"I've ordered these Valentine cards for my boys to give to their classmates. They are so adorable and my boys love them and can't wait to share them with their friends! The quality of the cards is very good and I highly recommend them! We also bought a Ninja Suckers to go with them!"
"These cards are soooo cute! I initially was looking for a card for my son to personalize to give out at his preschool. But I just couldn't pass these up for myself! As a mom of a boy...everything is cars, blue, more trucks, army fatigue...nothing pink! So as a teacher, I just had to make these for my kindergarten students! They came out soooo cute. I'm attaching an organic yummy lollipop to these and giving them out to my lil ones! I regret not making these years ago!"
"Such a cute design... the form factor is small and adorable, perfect for a valentine. Loved how we could personalize the photo and the name. Quick service, great quality. Fourth time getting these kids valentines and not disappointed. Will order again!"
"My 8yo son wanted cards that were not too sweet or cute. I wanted a card that wasn't another ad for a toy or TV show. This simple card was our middle ground. He thought the phone design was cool, as did his guy friends, while the photo placement allows you to highlight whatever aspect of your child's personality you like: silly, sweet, cool, your choice. I only wish they had more techie or graphic-novel cards and invitations to make older boys get this excited for stationery."

Alumni Profile
Marcie A. Tulip
Marcie A. Tulip, this year's Student Support Award winner, was nominated by her husband, H. Daniel Tulip, who earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice, for her selfless support through his military deployments, health issues, and degree pursuit.
Dan of Greenville, Pennsylvania, began his path to earn a baccalaureate degree while serving in the U.S. Army. He learned about Excelsior College while stationed at Fort Drum, New York, and had already earned an associate degree from Central Texas College. However, he "worked all the while pecking away at his bachelor degree."
He and Marcie met later in life, after Dan's first deployment to Iraq. Marcie, an LPN, was working for the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center near Dan's hometown of Greenville. This was the beginning of a long distance relationship between New York and Pennsylvania.
Unfortunately, during Dan's second tour of duty in Iraq (three in total), his health had become compromised when he was diagnosed with bladder cancer. "Marcie helped me overcome one of the most difficult barriers in my life by continuously providing emotional support and empathy during the most difficult of times. I not only survived cancer, I survived the emotional trauma of spending three and a half years in combat, a feat that I would have never been able to endure without the support of my wife." While in Iraq, Marcie communicated with Dan by emailing daily, sending cards and packages, and by connecting with chance late night phone calls. Marcie wanted the constant communication to make him feel special and to let him know that someone was there for him. During this stressful time, Marcie faced her own health issues, a brush with precancerous condition. Yet, she recognized that Dan needed more support than she and didn't want to burden him with her own health issues. Dan's nomination letter cites, "Marcie's selflessness is beyond reproach. It was Marcie's instincts of providing positive nurturing that kept me going when I simply thought I could do no more."
Marcie and Dan married and blended their families (each had three boys from previous marriages) in May 2009. The two of them place an immense value on their family and education. Dan's closing line in his nomination letter states, "I will attend graduation, and on that day nothing would make me prouder than to see my wife recognized for the selfless service and support that she provides on a daily basis." Now living "happily ever after," they believe that "God placed each of us in each other's lives and God will see us through any challenge."
Marcie isn't the only award winner in the family. Dan is also being recognized this year as the recipient of the Robert P. Mahoney Award.

What's Driving AOL.com: An Interview with Executive News Editor, Neil Katz
Feb 22, 2012
"People react to amazing stories," says Neil Katz, executive news editor, AOL.com, and "our job is to entertain, to educate, to make people laugh, to cry, and to enrich their lives."
Katz joined the company nine months ago from CBSNews.com, where he was the executive editor. Since joining, Katz and his team have doubled the volume of content on AOL.com and are now updating the page on a minute-by-minute basis.
We recently sat down with Katz to learn more about the editorial approach to AOL.com, which-according to comScore -- reaches 13 million daily and is one of the main properties of AOL. Neil describes AOL.com's goal as "continuing to develop our relationship with the American public by making our stories even more engaging."
So, what's the key to AOL.com's approach? "We're driving the social conversation. The audience is the twelfth man on the field," says Katz. "People are no longer content to be passive recipients of information and news. They're active contributors, and our level of social engagement is off the charts. We're a social media rocket ship."
When he first joined AOL, Katz's immediate task was to re-energize his staff of 17 editors, which Katz describes as a group of the most professional team players in online news.
AOL.com's readership peak is lunchtime to five p.m. as people logon to catch-up on news and check on their AOL email. The editorial team starts each day early by researching what's going on around the nation and the world, to connect people to the "amazing stories that are really happening." Katz describes their approach as great storytelling "from the mom who's fighting to keep her family safe to the superstar that's fighting to keep her name out of the news." The Huffington Post is now fully integrated into AOL.com and according to Katz, "provides readers with around a thousand pieces of content a day."
What drives Neil Katz? His favorite stories are ones that say something about America. His personal favorite is the original ten-part text and video series about severely wounded soldiers and their struggle to make their lives whole again after war. The videos were viewed more than a million times. One of AOL.com's most popular stories was a recent feature honoring the 17 American Navy Seals who were killed when their Chinook helicopter was shot down during a night raid in Afghanistan. The tragedy happened just two months after the Seal's successful bin Laden mission.
"I love telling amazing stories," says Katz. At CBSNews.com, he helped make the site one of the fastest growing digital news destinations through the development of new sections and blogs, from health to entertainment. Katz also played a role in the creation and successes of new properties, most notably, Crimesider, now a leader in true-crime reporting. Prior to CBSNews.com, Katz field produced for CBS television and was a freelance journalist for the New YorkTimes' online video unit, PBS, the Star Ledger and others. He's reported from India, Iran and Vietnam. When he's not orchestrating AOL.com, Neil is passionate about photography and global travel.
What is Katz's vision for AOL.com? "At a time when print and broadcast news outlets are ducking for cover, AOL.com and the Huffington Post are surging ahead. We're pioneering new forms of journalism for a huge audience, and our goal is to bring it to the world. We measure our progress if the readers come tomorrow."

I live in Newfoundland my whole life, and Eider duck hunting has always been a huge part of my heritage. i enjoy Eider duck hunting each. Within the past year I have purchased a new "Lee Load All II" shotgun shell reloader, but unfortunately in the province of Newfoundland I can't purchase any shotgun hulls for reloading. I can get the powder, primers, wads, and even the shot, but the hulls on the other hand I can't. I have contacted cabelas, whole sale sports, and I have even tried on-line stores in the US stores, but the US can't ship them due to customs regulations. My question is do anyone out there reload shells? If so where do you get new Hulls or even once fired hulls. Any help will be greatly appriciated.

I'm afraid I can only reiterate what I have already said many times on these forums: There is no way of working legally in Thailand in mainstream education, full-time, with a reasonable salary and working conditions, without a recognised Bachelor degree. Having a Thai spouse will not help.
If your spouse has connections, she may be able to channel some private students to you for 1-on-1 lessons - which are, BTW, quite well paid.
I have never heard of J.P.teacher.com, and a Google search draws a blank.

Arabic Font Specimen Book
The Arabic Font Specimen book is finally published and available!
Good news for all of you who have been patiently waiting.
To order your copy or browse through the book visit Khatt Books site or click here.
Author: Edo Smitshuijzen
Published by Uitgeverij De Buitenkant. Amsterdam. 2009
Blind & Gilt-stamped grey cloth with dust wrapper 656 pages, 3 coloured book-marks
Text output: Thesis - Luc(as) de Groot
Basic typographic design & text-editing: Huda Smitshuijzen AbiFares
Illustrations/layout and cover design: Edo Smitshuijzen
Limited edition
Price: € 150.00
Arabic typography exists in a universe of extremes: considered as holy by some, frightening by others, but more often painfully neglected. It is mysterious and elusive but also an unmistakable cultural icon. Based on the world's richest calligraphic traditions, it has become today a technological challenge for font designers. This first of its kind book, which was long overdue, is also extreme in its thorough covering of all aspects relating to contemporary Arabic fonts. It is book is a must have for everyone working with Arabic type or interested in complex typography and scripts.
The Arabic Font Specimen Book is the first thorough overview of Arabic type available on the market. Though Arabic has a rich calligraphic tradition, its typographic one pales in comparison. There was little documentation about Arabic fonts, making it difficult to find the design or production source of the fonts offered on the market and/or their technical specifications.
The goal of this book is to give adequate help in selecting Arabic fonts for use in print and other media. It provides information ranging from historical essays on the development of the designs and related technologies, to guidelines for the design and use of dual-script (Latin & Arabic) fonts in various design applications.
Each type specimen has concise information about its designers, technical specs and manufacturers. Text fonts are shown in the size and the format that corresponds with three archetypical applications: one sample in display size, one sample in an average text size, and one in a very small size used for captions or business forms. Fonts that are only suitable for display text are shown solely in the display option. These samples cover the use of Arabic fonts in print. Though nowadays text is also produced to be read from computer screens, the appearance of a font under these circumstances can be best judged on the final display. However it is safe to assume that a font that is legible at very small sizes, will also be legible when used on low resolution computer screens.
If you're interested in purchasing the Arabic Font Specimen book, as a member of the Khatt Network for Arabic typography, we can secure for you a price discount from the publisher. Just contact Edo Smitshuijzen directly about this.

Quantity vs. Quality
It seems the book price is affected by number of pages;
though I hope the number of pages display font qualities of which Arabic typography yearn for long.
The first comments are from over one and a half years ago. That must have been a lot of work. looks beautiful!

Being a GunZ 1 player on and off for several years I couldn't wait to try GunZ 2. So, when the Beta finally opened for NA... well... I had to wait a few more days.
After the standard launch issues cleared up, I jumped in to see if it would live up to the hype.
First off I was disappointed to see that they had removed customization in favor of four preset classes.
Ivan wields a sniper rifle, katana, and SMG.
Rena duel swords, duel pistols, and SMG.
Elena a baseball bat, assault rifle, and nade launcher.
Max is equipped with a riot shield, mini gun, and flame thrower.
Each character does have a few sets of clothing and weapons to purchase, but it's cosmetic and slight stat variations. At least it means nothing is pay to win at the moment.
The shop does sell a few cosmetic items for real money at the moment.($15 for a hat!)
I picked Ivan and moved on to the lobby, which is your standard shooter lobby other than that(for the moment) there doesn't seem to be a way to select the room you join. You can queue up for 1-3 types of PvP.
-Team Death Match
-Team Elimination- Kill the entire enemy team. First to 5 wins.
-Time Assault- Destroy the enemy teams object within a set time.
or you can do the Co-op campaign.
I picked PvP.
So, now we can talk about combat.
In GunZ 1 I despised K-Style because of how it was implemented. It was basically a glitch that the developers didn't bother to fix. For GunZ 2 I was hoping for a more refined combat system. Something fast and elegant. Something that could match the good parts of K-style and remove the bad.
So did GunZ 2 deliver?
Well, it can be fast. Really fast. Not just movement but TTK is really low. If you get caught in a combo, you're stun-locked and dead.
I personally miss the epic battles from GunZ 1. Two equally skilled players could fight back and forth for minutes.
In GunZ 2 that's replaced by a lot mindless spamming. Blocking is made almost useless by special abilities that characters gain as the level up, meaning that combat in GunZ 2 is roughly the equivalent of Call of Duty with swords.
Despite the disappointment from the combat system, I decided to give the campaign a try. Surprisingly where the games shines. They're actually MMO instance quality missions. There are lots of waves but the require awareness, positioning, weapon and ability management to clear.
Bosses can feature multiple stages and well scripted abilities that require a bit of thought to counter.
I haven't finished the campaign yet but so far it's fun. The downside is there doesn't seem to be any form of reward. I have yet to get a shinny new gun or even a dirty sock. Cash gains from it are also slow in comparison to the PvP modes.
Overall, it's a fun game despite the fact the combat is frustratingly lacking of depth. I really hope they refine it a bit more and try to get a little closer to what I liked about GunZ 1 rather than a third person version of Team Fortress 2. Still, It's free the campaign is pretty cool. Give it a try.

Arsène Wenger insists that Marouane Chamakh did NOT dive to win a penalty during Arsenal's 2-1 win over Birmingham.
The Moroccan striker went down under the challenge of Scott Dann at Emirates Stadium on Saturday and the visitors' resentment was clear long after Samir Nasri had slammed the spot kick past Ben Foster.
Chamakh was targeted during a spiky end to the first half but Wenger offered a robust defence of his player after the game.
"He did not dive," said the Arsenal manager. "I watched it again and in fairness the tackle touched him on his right foot. He went down and maybe made a bit more of it but it looked to me a penalty and if he doesn't get a penalty I think it is still a goal after.
"What can I do about that [Birmingham's reaction]? The referee has to deal with that. We had to keep our nerve and put the ball in the back of the net and that's what we did.
"He [Marouane] was quite surprised that they responded like that because he thought it was 100 per cent a penalty and I believe as well that he does not always get 100 per cent penalties.
"I watched this one again on television and he was touched. He pushed the ball to the side of the defender. Why does the guy tackle? He tackles him and touches him on his right foot."
Wenger's admission that Chamakh had possibly exaggerated his fall was seized upon by reporters but the Frenchman countered quickly.
"Who is the striker who doesn't show that he has been fouled?" he asked. "Who makes more or less of it is difficult to determine. But I feel we do not always get penalties with players because they show that it was a foul.
"Overall you want the referee to give a penalty when there is one and not when there's not one."
Having upset Birmingham with his part in Arsenal's equaliser, Chamakh rubbed salt in their wounds with a well-taken winner two minutes into the second half. Five goals in nine starts - and even more assists - represents an excellent start for the Moroccan and his manager is clearly impressed.
"He is a striker who plays for the team," said Wenger. "He is mobile, good in the air, he protects the ball well. Sometimes you want him to go behind more, but overall he affects the game."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

The Westminster Archives website has a niche for Community History. The webpage says that it offers a chance to Explore the history of Westminster's communities through our projects and exhibitions. So as I've never been one not to follow a path that offers information on family or community history I clicked on the button and it took me to another page which offered a choice of
Westminster Memories – Explore Westminster's history through our network of interactive sites
Soho Memories – Discover Soho past and present, and share your own memories of this colourful district
Church Street Memories – Take a trip down memory lane with our site dedicated to Church Street's history
St John's Wood Memories – Experience St John's Wood as it used to be through images, stories and first-hand accounts
West End at War – Westminster City Archives tells the story of the London Blitz through an exciting new website, reminiscence sessions and an animation project
Black & Asian History – Sources for Black and Asian history in Westminster, including online exhibition galleries
Clicking on the Soho Memories I found a page offering links to the Italian Community in Soho, Changing Face of Soho and memories about Eric Singer Boulevardier, journalist, architect, Martin Green Writer & publisher and Eddie S Linden Poet and publisher of Aquarius poetry magazine and several others.
It seems that anyone who has memories or photos of Soho can register and add their memories etc. to the site. Having read a few of the memories and had a look at the page about the Italian influence in Soho I have bookmark the site and will come back regularly to see what other goodies have been added.
A great idea by Westminster Archives to allow the community to record it's own history. I shall have to work on a piece about my ancestors who lived in Soho in the 19th century, who knows what leads might come from that.
Take a look and enjoy a browse through Westminster.

I'm just not convinced by this new Nintendo console. The tech is dated even before it is released.
I bought the Wii and unlike my Game Cube it spent most of its time gathering dust in my loft. Other than the Nintendo exclusives there seems very little to attract gamers to Nintendo's consoles nowadays.
Hey guys, could you please correct your misleading info about adding memory with SD cards? The fact is, you cannot use the extra space for Wii U content, only content meant for the original Wii software, Virtual Console, etc.
Also, the review says next to nothing about the infrared TV remote capabilities. You might want to update the review with that. It might be interesting to note how the web browser handles online content, videos on youtube, facebook...
Last but not least, you forgot to mention that the HD era Nintento is bringing is not always full HD. Many games run natively only at 720p and are upscaled in a similar fashion XBOX360 games are to 1080p.
Zomibi u?
Was not convinced by reviews to buy one, but as always I couldnt go without, let me put it this way the console isn't bad, I like the handheld game pad and the game are as the Wii should have been, I think the console has a lot to offer in the future, the verdicts still out as we need to see whats coming next from Sony and Microsoft, as it stands the Wii U isnt a bad machine, but maybe more expensive than what were used to from Nintendo, but I think the next gen from Sony and Microsoft are going to be £100 more.
So if you are looking for to replace your Wii and you want more but better then the Wii U has got what you are looking for.
I bought the deluxe set on 12-2-12. I've had no end of weird little issues with it, along with the several hours of updates just to get going out of the box. I am not impressed; it appears to me that the system was rushed out the door before it was completely stable. 1/10
I kinda like this console the only reason I would not buy one is because of the CPU but the gamepad games and mobility makes me like it.
You may be right, but you obviously didn't think much of the original Wii either and that ended up becoming the most successful console of its generation.
I have had the same results. It takes 9 minutes to load Mario every time I want to play it. I have an 8 year old, nothing says grumpy like a kid that has to wait to play! Who tested this in the factory an eighty year old in no hurry?
the wii was succesful only because everyone wanted one...once they all had one they ALL collected dust
We like our Wii. The only reason it sometimes collects dust is because there aren't enough great games for it and we get sick of the ones we've had for years.
Sorry I wasted 350.00 on this. regular Wii much more fun. Not enough games at all
I really liked the Hardware especially the controller but mine suffered from multiple game freezes and system crashes even after all the patches and updates. Sadly I had to return 3 of them all with this issue. Maybe I will pick up one again in the future.
Another major issue with this console was the HDMI's colour the gamma is way too high and often games had a blue hue and blacks looked washed out.
No you sould have given it 9.8/10. PS4 and xboxone are rubbish compared to it. it is the best console to date and can people just stop giving it a bad time cause its nintendo.
I just got WiiU yesterday, first Nintendo system in decades. i have to say i am very impressed, especially with the controller and its features. Bravo Nintendo, cannot wait for the big hits in 2014
I just got a Wii U two days ago, as an early xmas present from my girlfriend, for me and my 4 year old daughter. My daughter is just starting to really be able to grasp some of the simpler video games i own, and she has taking a real liking to Super Mario Galaxy 2 the past few weeks, she loves playing as player 2 and helping me collect stuff and kill the baddies. i am extremely impressed by the Wii U so far.. This review talks about lag in the interface and stuff, but i have not experienced any of that.. i think they may have patched it since release. It runs smooth as butter, and the graphics on Super Mario 3d world are absolutely beautiful.. I am really looking forward to all the nintendo staples on this new console, HD Zelda? Yes please.
Just wait until Smash comes out. I'll buy a $300 console just to play it and I bet a lot of other people will to.
I just ordered the Wii U 32GB Deluxe. Waiting for it in the mail. This will be my first console since the Sega Genesis! From what I read it looks good but we will see. I have a 46 inch LED 1080P TV and so I hope it looks good...
Tell it to Nintendo. Mine was corrupted a bit and they returned it with Earthbound pre-installed ^.^
Video games is something I've grown up with and have no problems letting my kids enjoy. Unfortunately it seems as though all the other consoles offer is adult titles. I can't in good conscious (I think I'm in the minority in this one) just let my kids play Assassins Creed or COD or Grand Theft Auto. Nintendo has always done a great job offering a variety of kid friendly titles in addition to the adult titles. The parental features are great, still allows me to enjoy the titles meant for older crowds without worrying about the kids getting into them. Even the Nintendo store can be locked down so that only kid friendly content can be seen. I'm sure the other consoles have these capabilities and I know they are superior pieces of hardware. I just feel like Nintendo always goes out of there way to accommodate a wider audience. We've had the Wii U now for over a year and I'm really impressed with all the features it offers. Great system, solid as a rock, quiet a great addition to any home entertainment system, I encourage any family who is looking for a gaming system to seriously consider the Wii U.
The wii u sucks. Have had mine for 3 months exactly and the game pad dies while my kids aren't even touching it while watching netflix. The gamepad alone costs 189 bucks. Thankfully I have a warranty. PS the xbox 360 is great and a great buy. Dont waste your money on a wii u.
Hope you bought a warranty. You will get to enjoy 3 months of game play before the game pad dies. PS dont invest in a lot of games
I've had my gamepad for a year and it works fine and I get roughly 3 hours out of it. You cannot purchase another gamepad at retail for $189 so I'm not sure what you're talking about. Also, no game requires the use of a second game pad, and the cost of the gamepad is factored into the console package. If your gamepad died, then it should be under warranty and get them to replace it. The Wii U is the best console out at the moment compared to the PS4 & XBOX1 which both have few exclusive titles and not many quality games to choose from. If you want an entertainment hub, get an xbox or PS4. If you want a games console, get a Wii U (especially if you have kids).
Don't be so narrow minded! Just because your unit broke quickly does not mean every single wii u in existence will. In fact the vast majority of them won't! David can do whatever without some woman he probably doesn't know dictating what he does.
Thanks for the article Stuart. Just want to inform all folks who live outside US that Nintendo Wii is a great media Player. If you want to access Netflix and other streaming stations on your Nintendo Wii you can use UnoTelly as I do to get around the geo block.
I totally agree actually; I'm only in my 20s myself and even I think that a lot of games these days are being far too serious and realistic for their own good. I'm so sick of the number of FPSs, zombie post-apocalyptic setting games and such that have been released lately, cos they're all pretty much the same as each other anyway. It made me ask the question: what do we play games for? For fun? Or to be so serious? It's why I went for the Wii and will go for the Wii U soon, cos the games on there, while colourful, look so much fun while still deceptively challenging.

- - Nancy Lansa was a victim, too (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/chat-room/197095-nancy-lansa-victim-too.html)
Nancy Lansa was a victim, too
Nobody and nothing good came out of the Sandy Hook Shooting spree, and one can only grieve for the loss of the children and teachers who died so horribly. However, I can't help feeling an extra bit of sadness over the treatment given to Nancy Lanza. She too, died at her son's hands, and yet she has been treated as a sinner rather than a victim; there seems to be some vague hint that she had it coming for being a gun enthusiast.
Now I will be perfectly honest that I have no use for guns, and see absolutely no reason why she would need or even want military weapons in her home; but she was within her rights to own them. And from all I have heard, she was dedicated to raising her son, and I'm certain it was in the hopes he would one day be a productive member of society, not a killer. I've heard she thought that learning how to safely handle guns would help teach him concentration, or responsibility. I doubt the possibility that he would ever use this knowledge to harm anyone, much less children, never entered her mind.
Yet somehow she has become the person we blame. When we talk about the people who died that day, we stop at 26 deaths. Her death is omitted, as if it just wasn't important enough to count. Maybe because we like things simple. It is easy to mourn the deaths of the children, of Dawn Hochsprung and the teachers that day. There are no shades of gray surrounding achingly young children or fiercely protective educators.
We cannot spare sympathy for Nancy Lanza without having to stop and think about whether we would have recognized the symptoms in our own children. About whether the relatively easy accessability to military weapons, even in a state with gun control laws like Connecticut, could be just as much to blame for the massacre as a hopeful parent, desperately clinging to the thought that her son might be ok.
Let's be brutally honest: We don't like to think too much. It's easier just to cast her in the role of the guilty and omit her from the list of the dead. Even her funeral was shunned, as if burying a criminal instead of a murdered mother.
Nancy Lanza was a victim, too. I hope someday people will realize that.
I absolutely agree with you and find it extremely hypocritical and sickening the way she is being treated.
I agree as well, though I haven't heard anything besides her not being mentioned as a victim in many places. Is it really because she was a gun enthusiast? I am a gun person, not military grade weapons or anything but I enjoy going to the range.

This woman was absolutely the first victim. No matter what issues you may think your child has, there is no way she could have fathomed that these awful crimes would be been committed by her son.
Yes. I have read several articles which state she is being blamed for 'giving her son easy access to guns' or for not knowing what he is capable of. How many parents think their child is capable of slaughtering first graders? How difficult for her family to bear not only the knowledge of what Mark Lanza did, but the condemnation laid upon his mother as well.
I heard that she had so many problems with having him in the public school, with his issues, she finally pulled him out and homeschooled him. Sounds like she really tried to raise him right, with his best interest at heart.
I know how hard it is to have a kid endlessly screwing up, (or other severe issues...) and not knowing what the heck to do. My 15 year old son is in a "facility" right now. No matter how hard I tried, or what I did, he just kept finding a way to get in trouble. I'm hoping this is his wake up call, and when he gets home, there will be no more of this behavior... I hope and pray. Its SCARY, and you love them, it's your child. :(
I dunno. Something went horribly wrong there. So sad she is being blamed.
That's absurd. I mean gun safety classes do tell you to lock guns an ammo up separately, though more for the safety of young children... though you are correct, who would think their child could do what he did? As a parent, I really like to think about what happened... I hope all the families of every victim including hers can find some sort of closure or comfort, how they can I don't know but I hope they can... I'd like to anyway...
Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com Free App
I don't think she's being ignored as a victim because she was a gun enthusiast. I think it's because she knew her son had severe mental and emotional disorders and she still taught him how to use lethal weapons and did not keep them out of his reach when he was in his downward spiral before the shooting. I'm sorry, but you don't teach mentally disturbed people how to use lethal weapons and you don't keep them within reach of those people, especially when the media is everywhere and is constantly glamorizing the illegal use of the exact same weapon. You'd at least do it for their safety. Who keeps guns around the house with a suicidal son?
I know she had good intentions and she tried so hard to give her son a normal life, but there are a million better recreational and productive activities out there that don't involve lethal weapons. My BIL is bipolar and his parents don't allow him access to guns because they do think he'd be at minimum a danger to himself if he had a gun because he can have episodes and tantrums where he becomes completely unstable and violent. He hasn't had one since they finally figured out his medication, but they don't take that chance even though he's expressed interest in learning how to use guns(a terrifying thought, even to his parents).
I absolutely see her as a tragic victim who saw her son through glasses that were far too rose-tinted, but I also see her as a mother who made an incredibly huge mistake that just seems painfully obvious to me. And other mothers had to suffer for it. So I do understand why she is being vilified for such an error. It would be the same for any parent who allowed their child access to guns and a death occurred because of it.
Nancy Lanza was a victim, but not necessarily foremost of her sons final acts. Insane people, criminally insane people and people whose actions defy all reason for some of the rest of us have rights. Despite the people closest to them and caring the most about them and most fearing them or for them and/or their actions having no where to turn for help. Because help violates the individual's rights. So there often times have to be criminal charges in place for the acuser, i.e. help seeker, parent, spouse, child to be taken seriously or for law enforcement or mental health professionals to be able to intercede. Its truly sad and its truly scary in many more less spectacular fashions than Sandy Hook or Columbine or any of the big news making incidents. Less spectacular except to the unpublicised victims in the less publicised incidents. So how do you cure all of that without stepping on rights? Taking guns out of it is the least of the answer; treating the mentally ill maybe removing the mentally ill from society is what needs to happen instead?
She was the frog slowly being boiled to death. If she had just been dropped in boiling water you would know its hot, but to see it every day you dont realize it until its to late. Its easy to just meet someone and know they are crazy or a manipulator or what have you. When you are a parent however its harder to see. Your kids have your number right from the get go.
I cant think about this whole horribleness with out getting so upset.
For once I actually agreed with Obama... America has a broken heart and it came from Sandy Hook Elementary.

Has anyone ever used this stuff, or anything similar? I would really like to change the color of my rear sight, but I don't want to mess them up trying.

Has anyone ever used this stuff, or anything similar? I would really like to change the color of my rear sight, but I don't want to mess them up trying.
Yes, I've used it, and removed it.
What exactly are you wanting to do to your rear sight and what kind of sights are you talking about coloring?
I suggest that a pistol's rear sight should remain black. Adding color to it will only become a distraction, and it will not help you to shoot better.
But adding color to your front sight may help you with a positive effect. You may find that "picking up" your front sight becomes quicker and easier.
My personal preference is a bright red front sight. In daylight, it's easy to see and to "pick up," and in reduced light it's just plain black and not an eye-riveting distraction.
I use two colors of very ordinary nail enamel ("polish"). The first coat is bright white and, when that has thoroughly dried, I apply two coats of something like fire-engine red on top of it. (The ladies at the drugstore's checkout counter razzed me when I bought the stuff, asking whether I was quite sure that these were "my" colors. I assured them that indeed they were.)
If you want to try this, remember not to paint the sides of the front sight, but rather only the surface which directly faces your eye. You do not want to make your front sight wider, not even a wee little bit.
(My assumption is that inexpensive nail enamel is cheaper than dedicated sight paint. I could be wrong. But I do have fun buying the stuff.)
^^ you should get panty hose next time, see how the clerk reacts to that combination, :P
I've been reduced to even using white out for the front sites of our M9's. temporary solution to a minor problem. but when we can we also use red and white nail polish. I can't say much else besides the stuff works. whatever the factory uses to make the front sight white, and the red safety dot under the safety/decocker just goes away after awhile. nail polish sticks around, it seems. Also use red for our m500's safety.
I have these. I'm farsighted and, when looking through my sights, I often see a single blurred line of white. I thought maybe if I put a little color over the white dots in the rear, it might help my problem.
To clarify, I don't want to paint the entire sight, only the dots.
I have not used this, but I've read it is an excellent product: Nitesiters Handgun Night Sights
(Cheaper too.)
Now regarding dot sights themselves, be aware of the intended purpose of those dots, they are there for "hasty" sight alignment /sight picture for "combat shooting" IE rapid fire groups inside of 7-10 yards when "proper" sight alignment sight picture can not be obtained quick enough. Out past those distances, or when trying to shoot the most accurately as possible, you need to use the flats of the sights as they were intended to be used, not the dots.
I shoot with either weak reading glasses (weaker than I would use for reading as the distance is a bit greater) or I wear my bifocals.
The problem with the bifocals is that you need to tilt your head back to see the sights through the reading area. This takes some practice.
The other option is to add an aperture to your existing glasses. This will help in bright light.
You didn't mention what weapon you are using and for what purpose. My snubbie has a green high viz front sight and plain black notch in the rear; it works well for quick shots.
My 10 meter pellet gun has black u-notch and a black post. For very accurate work this is superior to the three or one dot sights. But it is for slow fire, not rapid target sight aquisition.
I know I should probably just suck it up, but I was hoping to find something, anything, to alleviate this issue.
Thank you, VAM.
I agree with VA Marine. My S & W 340 PD has a high viz green front sight. It is instantly visible and it is the most important thing to see when aiming. The rears are black. This will not appear to be a single line, no matter what.
I still think the stick on dots are simpler to apply and (probably) will make a neater installation.
If you want to use something more permanent than black marker, model airplane and railroad stores carry flat black model paint. (Black nail enamel is glossy/shiny.)
Thanks, Steve. I'm glad you know so much about nail polish. :)
Holly, I was just kidding.
I never played with Alice Cooper.
I actually was the standby bass player for Dr. Tooth and the Muppet Band, for times when Janice was looped out of her mind.
+1 for Steve M1911A1
I've done this to several of my guns.
I've also added a Hiviz front sight to my competition guns.
It really helped me.

we're doing better from .621 to .630
What a crappy week of picks...lots of surprising results. I'm guessing the percentages for all teams are gonna fall this week, but PF.com might have the upper hand because of so few players. PF will drop in percentage, but might move up in team standings to #5 or better. Coynejeremy & Tater are leading the charge for the good guys. Hey Nemo...thanks for picking the Lions!
Yea they lost............what's up with that.........
I just realized - I must have had some really bad picks the first few weeks, then I lost interest. Let me try to improve my average these next few weeks, and I think that may help the team a lot, seeing as how I am about in last place percentagewise (still about 59% though). GO PISTONSFORUM!!!!!!
WOW, we dropped from .630 to .621 in 1 week. we suck.
I had picked the Giants a few days ago, but drank some Lions Kool-aid with lunch and changed my pick to the Lions 15 minutes before game time
Just a heads-up to make those picks before the [strike]Lions[/strike] turkeys get fried tomorrow. Bad news...PF.com has dropped to 9th place :(
Bump Chicago at Washington Thursday night.
we suck as a group with Jamm as the suckiest. down to .605
My picks have been so bad that I stopped picking in order to keep our group percentage from dropping any further.
I think I missed a week or two, but I had planned to stop picking too just because I was getting bored with it. I checked in today, for some unknown reason, and was reading about how the site meant so much to the guy who runs it and how he appreciates each and every one of us. Then he said it's one of his few pleasures on the internet. So I felt kind of bad and I'm going to try to finish out the season.
When Nemo is the group leader, then I know we're in trouble........ I'll be staying on since the Lions should be easy to predict.....
Actually Beer I'd like to see your picks so I can have something to laugh at. Like somebody using D Garrard as his QB in the PFFF playoffs. He was never explosive enough.
Actually a good week of picks for the Forumites...7 out of 8 of us made predictions and 6 of us did well. Our range for the 6 of us was 10-4 up to 11-2. All of these above .700 percent. Hopefully, we move up in the standings.
Up to .619 wooooo...
I completely forgot the two pre-Sunday games this week This is probably easiest week of picks so far this season. That said, I'll probably go 7-7 tomorrow & Monday
FOUR Forumites out of the seven playing week 15 made the top 25, lead by TheeTFD tying for first with only one other player at 12-4. Unfortunately PF.com's % stayed the same, but now only .001 behind Ozark's team going into the last week.
WOW !... Ha, only Nemo has made the top 25 the last 3 weeks. Tate went 13-3 once and won. How about one week we all pick the same teams. Blow everybodies mind.
Just don't let Tater be the one who decides. That was a brutal week for ya, Darth.
I'd considered sharing intell & perspectives in prior weeks in hope for a PF.com conquest but figured diversity could save the team from shooting it's foot off. Now...with two weeks to go...we don't really have much to lose. Whatchu guys think?

Here in the Wirtz lab, we are beginning to connect physical properties of cells with genetic expression. All cells in a Petri dish of the same cell type supposedly have identical DNA sequences. But what makes the cells appear to have different shapes and sizes, and why do some cells respond to stimuli differently from others?
These questions have led us to epigenetics, the study of inheritable changes in gene activity that do not involve any changes in the genetic code. These changes most often include the modification of DNA and histones, proteins found in nuclei that the DNA is wound around, by addition or subtraction of functional groups (acetylation, methylation, etc.).
The modifications affect how "open" or "closed" the DNA is and therefore define when and where transcription of DNA to make proteins can occur. I recently attended a fascinating conference on the subject which just so happened to be held on the gorgeous Grand Cayman Island. Here I summarized a few of the conference talks for Epigenie, a science news site focused on epigenetics research.

As streaks go, the one the Jazz are on is bad.
They have lost seven of their past nine games and play three more very losable games this week, at home against Minnesota, then at Phoenix and Denver (places the Jazz have already lost this season).
However, Jazz General Manager Dennis Lindsey tried to offer some perspective Monday on his rebuilding team.
"There's quite a bit of taking a step back and trying to make sure you don't get lost in the details," he said, "and are seeing the big picture."
For Lindsey, that includes recent injuries to Mo Williams and Marvin Williams, which have set the Jazz back, and, conversely, the improved play of Alec Burks, Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter.
"Many times," Lindsey said, "when you ask the question when the team has lost seven of nine and at times we look young or at times Mo Williams' injury looks like it sets us back, there's still some positives to be gleaned."
Amid a 15-17 start to the season, the Jazz are 6-13 on the road and have lost three-straight games, including back-to-back defeats to the red-hot Clippers.
"You're always concerned," Lindsey said, "no matter if you're playing good or playing average or playing poorly. I think a lot of time in this job if you do it well you're paid to worry. I think you're always in a state, some people call it paranoia, some people call it highly alert. I like to think we're highly alert to what we're doing and what we need to get better in."
The Jazz, despite a frustrating run, still in some ways are in an enviable position long-term. Their eight expiring contracts allow them the fiscal freedom to make a run at any free agent they covet in the offseason. They are not burdened with a bad contract or a bad locker room presence.
So, while Jazz fans may want to see Utah catapult to the top of the West this year, Lindsey preaches patience.
"You benchmark yourself on where you've been in the past," Lindsey said. "This team's probably most appropriately benchmarked with last year's team."
In the lockout-shortened season a year ago, the Jazz finished 36-30 and were swept out of the first round of the playoffs by the San Antonio Spurs.
On Sunday, the Jazz once again dipped two games below .500, a mark coach Tyrone Corbin said is important to the mental health of a team.
"It's almost like being even. We're one down," he said prior to Sunday's 107-96 defeat. "We'd like be 30 up or 31 up, but you are where you are. It's better to stay even from an even plateau than getting five down, or four down and trying to fight your way back. Especially if you look at the way the West is with playoff implications, you don't want to dig yourself too big of a hole."

text: You can get a "D" spring to lighten the trigger pull, however after putting a couple of 100 rounds through and more, it should lighten up, I've never bothered going with the "D" spring in my 92, or 96FS and I shoot the DA as well as SA, which is very well, just practice. After all the SA pull is as sweet as a target pistol and I know when I pull the trigger the primer is going to get hit hard w/ any ammo I choose to feed it. Beretta updated the 96A1 as it has an "internal recoil buffer" for durability and less impact to the frame, so the need to go to a heavier recoil spring is a non-issue w/ the 40cal 96A1. I run a Wolff 15lb spring in my 96FS. Likewise, the 96A1 incorporates a captive recoil spring assembly. If it were me I'd stick with it the way it is, change out the recoil assembly when needed and shoot away.

Re: Sunbrella fabric and 303 retreatment
I once tried 303 on sailcloth. It did absolutely nothing to protect it from UV.
Re: Sunbrella fabric and 303 retreatment
I'll add that I use a sprayer like this when applying:
I buy the 303 fabric guard in gallon jugs and use that sprayer. I get more consistent application and no hand cramps.
Re: Sunbrella fabric and 303 retreatment
Oh look... at the Sunbrella site, a pdf on feeding and care of Sunbrella...
Re: Sunbrella fabric and 303 retreatment
For much better results when reapplying 303 Fabric Guard use 303 FABRIC CLEANER. The CLEANER is applied by hand left to soak, so it penetrates .... and then you 'softly scrub', then rinse by putting it a large tub filled with water and slowly agitate by hand. You use 'one cup' of cleaner per gallon of water. Such will clean the fabric and provide a better 'attachment' for later treatment with the 303 Fabric Guard.

The "top" grade or the stuff used for dodgers, bimini's etc. is impregnated with a component that gives it it's waterprrof and stiffness. Machine washing can destroy this. If you need to wash it do it in a kiddy pool with luke warm water and Ivory Snow or Dreft non-detergent laundry soap. Let it soak for a couple of days and the fabric will release the dirt into the bottom of the pool..
You want this - 303 Fabric Guard
NOT THIS - 303 Aerospace Protectant
Glen Raven Mills (Sunbrella) has tested a slew of products including Scotchbrite, and many others, and ONLY recommends 303 Fabric Guard for use on Sunbrella. They do not own or have any stake in 303 the company and Glen Raven makes zero money off this recommendation except to keep customers happy and the Sunbrella product lasting...

303 High Tech Fabric Guard does NOT change the breathability of the Sunbrella it only makes the fibers repel water and not absorb it. With no waterproofing or the wrong water proofing or if the fabric is allowed to "wet out" it takes LONGER to dry. When it takes longer to dry or does not breathe mold begins to grow.
303 High Tech Fabric Guard will no exacerbate mold growth beyond any natural occurrence and will actually lessen in on fabric that is wetting out.
I know our Glen Raven rep personally and have had at length discussions about the proper treatments for Sunbrella and 303 is it. Glen Raven has tested just about every product out there and they trust their reputation to 303 HTFG only. They get ZERO return on this other than a good reputation by recommending the right product for their fabric and that is 303 HTFG.
You can cut corners or try otehr products but they do not perform as well as 303 on Sunbrella.
A funny story,
A friend of mine, & fellow CS owner, is the sales manager for Ferrari Fabrics, the makers of Stamoid marine fabrics and the fabric that covers the Denver Airport and most of the sports stadiums in this country and throughout the world. He told me this story at the Maine Boat Builders show a month or so ago.
Ferrari actually makes their own Stamoid cleaner and treatment products. One day they happened to try two products made and sent to them by IMAR the makers of IMAR Strattaglass cleaner. The IMAR products performed so much better than Ferrari's own product they sent the product to the factory for thorough testing.
The bottom line is that Ferrari now has hundreds of cases of their own product, bought and paid for, collecting dust in a warehouse and they now recommend IMAR Staimoid products over their own!! This cost them not only the price of the cases upon cases of unused Staimoid cleaner but also a huge cost to re-print literature and a loss in proffit margin for products which they now make ZERO dollars on..
Sometimes companies recommend products because they are the BEST products for the treatment of it.
I know many will continue to doubt this, and recommend Pledge for dodger glass and Thompson's Water Proofing for Sunbrella, but it's true.
In the case of Staimoid (IMAR products), Strattaglass (IMAR products) and Sunbrella (303 HTFG) none of these manufacturers recommend products they make, own or have any vested of financial interest in.
They recommend them because it will give YOU the BEST performance from a product you paid BIG money for and it will leave them with a solid reputation as a long lasting & time tested product..
|The oil shouldn't hurt the cloth, but it may darken over time. If it doesn't dry completely, it will hold dirt. Some natural oils also darken in the sun.
Thanks all. My chemist friend also cautioned against possible oily residue that would trap dirt. Petroleum products appear in a lot of waterproofing media so it may be OK for stitches but I intend to find out.
I have some old sunbrella covers from having had the boat reupholstered a couple months ago. They are a bit worn and have lost water beading ability so I thought I may take one and apply this thing and see how it works. Could be a cheap remedy, or could be a mess.
Fortunately, it rains a lot during the monsoon, so once I get the stuff mixed and applied we should find out quickly how well (or if) it works

Bad idea... the soybean oil and turpentine will attract a lot of dirt...and you'll have a pretty nasty mess on your hands. The turpentine may also damage the cloth or the sizing used in the sunbrella fabric. Also, if you rub up against it, it will likely stain your clothes, and it is going to smell.

There seems to be a general understanding to avoid silicone-based waterproofing with Sunbrella and this would, at least, qualify in that department...
In these recessionary times I am happy to save quite a few $$ by making something, but not entirely sure how destructive this mix may be. I am asking a chemist friend and hope to figure out the science behind the mix and would love to hear if anyone have tried it before.

"Xavier was the better team," Butler coach Brad Stevens said. "Better playing, better coached, just better. Not even close. It would have been a shame if we had dropkicked in a couple 3-pointers and won. Xavier deserved it."
The Musketeers' game-plan was simple. The execution of that game-plan though was a different story.
Sophomore point guard Dee Davis spent all 35 minutes that he was on the floor pressuring Butler guard Rotnei Clarke, one of the nation's premiere shooters. Davis had to fight over top of screens all night long and chase, holding Butler's top player to just 3-of-11 shooting on the night with 7 points.
"When you go into a game and see the shooting presence that (Butler) brings, all those guys really put your concentration to the test," Xavier coach Chris Mack said. "I thought Dee Davis was phenomenal, Semaj gave us everything he had on the defensive end, Brad, Justin - it was fun to watch how hard our kids played on defense."
"To me, that was the difference in the game. They just could not get an open look from three."
While freshman Kellen Dunham managed to make 4-of-7 shots from the field, he finished just 1-of-3 from beyond the arc and led the Bulldogs with just 11 points as Xavier did a good job of chasing him off the 3-point line as well.
After battling to a 9-9 tie through seven minutes of play, the Musketeers went on a 12-2 run to go up 21-11 with 10:01 left. The run was sparked by a jump shot from Jeff Robinson. He and Davis each scored five points during that stretch, while freshman Semaj Christon, who was making his season debut, dished out three assists.
Xavier's lead ballooned to 14 with just under five minutes to play in the half when Christon scored his first points in a Xavier uniform, but Butler made a little run of their own over the final few minutes to get back in the game.
Center Andrew Smith's rare set-shot 3-point attempt found the bottom of the net with 54 seconds left to cap an 11-2 run and bring the Bulldogs within five, but Dee Davis made a pair of free-throws to give his team a 36-29 lead at intermission.
Two big men, Jeff Robinson and Travis Taylor, provided the offensive firepower in the first half for the Musketeers. Robinson was the games' only double-digit scorer with 12 points and four boards in the first half. He had two big momentum plays with a 3-pointer from the top of the key, and an and-one on a drive to the basket.
"He's been more assertive, he's been more confident," Mack said of Robinson. "He's always been one of the first guys to the gym, but you've got to be able to produce and have confidence in yourself. I told our guys after the game in our locker room that he was the best player on the court in the first half in my opinion."
Taylor performed admirably as well, finishing with 8 points on 4-of-5 shot attempts in the half, while dishing out three assists.
By the second media timeout of the second half, Xavier had extended its lead back up to 13, as Brad Redford's 3-pointer made it 46-33.
From that point on, the game never got back to single-digits. The Musketeers continued to stifle the Butler offense, and finished off their defensive stops with physical play on the boards. Eleven minutes into the second half, Butler had scored just six points.
"I thought in the second half, it seemed like Trav (Taylor) was getting every defensive rebound there for a stretch of five or six minutes," Mack said. "We were limiting them to one shot, and he was by far the highest guy up there to secure the defensive rebound. He played with a confidence and a toughness that we need him too."
The Musketeers' 7-2 run starting with 9:29 left in the game on a pair of Justin Martin free-throws pushed the lead to 20, and put the game out of reach.
While Xavier's defense came through, limiting the Bulldogs to just 36.5 percent shooting for the game, Butler's defense wasn't up to its usual standard.
""It wasn't very good defensively," Stevens said. "We gave Taylor angles, I was disappointed we didn't adjust a little more to Robinson, we got back-cut on some post feeds where they laid it in, Martin played well, hats off to them."
Robinson led all scorers with 17, while Taylor pitched in with 15. Taylor's effort pushed him over the 1,000 mark for his college career, including his two years spent at Monmouth. He also led the team with nine boards - all coming in the second half. Robinson pitched in with 8 rebounds.
"There are certain guys that can elevate a team, and you can see (Robinson) elevating them," Stevens said about Xavier's big man. "He's always had great talent."
The Musketeers will be back in action at the Cintas Center on Saturday afternoon for a 2 pm tipoff with Robert Morris.

Gollito in Fehmarn
NorthSails team rider and 4 times PWA Freestyle Champion Gollito Estredo poped up in Fehmarn together with Andre Paskowski. Check out the full report, pictures and video about this spontaneous trip (all by Andre Paskowski):
After returning from our Fanatic/North Fotoshooting Gollito and myself returned back to Hamburg. We spent a couple of days here. It was Sunny but still cold and we had plenty of Wind on one day. We decided to do a quick trip to Fehmarn. We first tried Surfing at Gold. But it was super busy and due to the onshore wind Gollito was not so inspired of the spot. It was quite cold.
We then moved on to Wulfen. Funny because I learned to Windsurf on this little lake. Gollito went out for 2 Hours. It was quite shallow water to not say almost no water.
It was not the place, were he performed highest scoring moves but it was a great that me and my Dad (who Assisted on the Camera - Sorry for unsharp Footage :-)) showed Gollito a little in Northern Germany.
We visited Weissenhaus after. The usual Suspects delivered a good Show. Leon and Tilo leading the pack. But Gollito did not really remember that. He was really deeply sleeping.
All the best, Andre
