apparently everybody needed to be a full time student to play xball, but USF forfeited all of the games in Race-to-2 where they were moved

Chris Raehl threw the rulebook at the club and basically threatened suspensions, bans and fines if ANYONE on the club played, and did not meet 100% of ALL the rules in the comprehensive rulebook. He basically bullied the club into dropping out of the tournament, and scared the players shitless from playing it again.
Everyone in college has different challenges and issues that they are trying to resolve. Some people can't take all the classes needed to be considered full time, because the college doesn't offer them. Some of the student had to drop classes, withdraw classes, incompletes, some have failed courses in the Fall of 2010, and aren't passing all their courses in the Spring of 2011. He started throwing rules at us that we were not aware of, and the team made the decision not to take a chance. None of them wanted to be the reason for getting the club in trouble, so they made a decision to just drop the event to get the promised refund.
On top of that, he openly and flamboyantly began interrogating the students about their academic transcripts, in FULL view of the dozens of players standing in the check-in line. Ken (manager of the Palm Beach Vipers) was standing 40 feet away and heard EVERYTHING about EVERY player on the USF team, their major, enrollment status, issues, he heard the entire conversation and trust me, Chris Raehl was NOT interested in trying to keep it private.
Chris Raehl had a VERY clear agenda on what he was going to do to that club, and it included embarrassing them, misleading them, and intimidating them. This was the club's first NCPA National Event and he laid into them with everything he had.
He told the club if they dropped the event, they'd get a refund. Then he calls us 3 hours after the team left the field, and tells us that he's keeping their entry money and any attempts to recover it would lead to a lifetime ban of ME from tournament paintball, as if I need his fucking APPA number to play tournaments.
just wow.....
And by the way Chris, last I checked, taking 9 credit hours of 5000 level Graduate Courses is considered FULL TIME when taking graduate courses.
My enrollment verification-
ACG5505 : Governmental/N-F-P Accounting
BUL5332 : Law and the Accountant
TAX5015 : Fed Taxation of Bus Entities
That's 9 credit hours of 5000 level graduate courses, most places consider that full time. Not by his rules I guess

They have the ability to grant exceptions, which they do for students all the time.
We got caught like a deer in the headlights, because we didn't know about this other rulebook (the one that looks like the PSP rulebook). So when Chris threatened the club with suspensions, bans and fines based on rules that we didn't know about, it jolted us.
Keep in mind, I don't run this club, I don't have any administrative or officer position in this club. I'm a member of the club, I don't run the club. They have had numerous practices, tournaments and events without me. I assist them in any way possible, but I'm not an officer.
The decisions to move from A to AA, and to withdraw from the tournament were not made by me, they were made by the club's president and vice president based on the conversations they had with Chris at the event.

I've been covering and supporting the NCPA since 2008 & 2009, hell one year I had the only booth at the event.
You have the ability as the event promoter to make exceptions, listen to the explanations and make a decision. He strongarmed that club out of the event
and the major difference between the NCPA Sectional Qualifier USF played a few weeks ago, and nationals?
I was on the team this time, so he fucked the club over

Raehl has never been one to give good customer service
Nor has he ever treated anyone but those schools who have long standing programs (UofI, UConn, Penn St, etc) with any sort of respect.

why would he want to do that???
he got a call from his favorite paintball politician. . .and he didn't bite the hand that was feeding him a bs sandwich.
And im sure that you could take him to court for disclosing personal information about the players of the club.

We missed the rule on the old website? Yes
We missed that rule on the new website? Yes
We missed that rule on the thousands of threads on PBNation? Yes
It says in multiple locations that if you are in your graduating semester, you can play the event. It only says in ONE PLACE, that you need to have been a full time student the semester prior.
Let the club play the event, take it as a learning lesson, everyone moves on and everyone is happy. It's not like we were going there to win the event, we just wanted to participate. We've got 20+ USF Jersey's here with the "NCPA Approved Logo" on them, we had legitimate degree seeking USF students (who were active members in the USF Paintball Club) who turned in the enrollment verification, we rented a hotel room (that no one slept in) to meet the hotel room rule.
Ok, so we can't play Class A and be on the webcast. Is participating in Class AA that much of a big deal, to send the club home?
We didn't go to the NCPA to win it, we just wanted to have the USF Club participate in it. This club invested THOUSANDS of dollars into playing this event. Chris has the ability to make exceptions, he does for other teams all the time. You can't run a league like this without a bit of clemency and understanding. Unfortunately the USF Club didn't get any of this, we got slammed with a rulebook we never read, and went home

Did anyone give him permission to disclose private and personal information infront of many others?
Probably not, which is fucked up. I was talking to mike about this when i met him at cfp that day, he didn't really seem that happy about it. I didn't know all this but either way, in all honesty what can you do?

not a big deal. one thing to do that is easy is to add an empty honey super under the one with brood. the brood will hatch. the bees will fill the space with honey. the queen may want to go into the empty super, but you can do the same again, or make more room for her below.
If there's brood in the super, it's no longer a super. Count your blessings.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by Rex, Feb 21, 2012.
Hitler's Love Child
Wow. Who'd want to claim this? Discuss.
All I can think for right now to say is ewwww...... I hope this is another hoax for the sake of the deceased Mr Loret's family.
Yikes! That poor family, if it's true.
Hitler does have living relatives. I say DNA test or it didn't happen.
Though the paintings are certainly interesting as the average Frenchwoman did not have Hitler's watercolors stashed in her attic. The stories, eh, and the blood type's meaningless (it's not do you have the SAME blood type, it's is your blood type compatible with the alleged parent's.)
It would certainly put to rest the speculation about Hilter being unable/unwilling to perform...though that was before he got gassed in the trenches.
This is the first time I've heard that Hitler was allegedly impotent. I thought he and Eva Braun were long-time lovers before they married near the end of their lives. But what do I know?
I'd like to see the pics of this son.
Hmmm, what do you all think?
You don't choose your parents, but you do choose your actions. Mr. Loret fought against the Nazis and even joined the Resistance in France. Based on these articles, he doesn't sound like he was a genocidal warmonger. I mean, yes, it's terrible to be related (or a direct descendant) to the most infamous criminal of the 20th Century, and he sounds like he was depressed about it, but "evil" is not inherited from DNA, you know?
Speaking of DNA, though, I'd love to see the results of any tests!
I agree, Orable. I do think it's interesting, though, that the rest of his closest relatives (cousins? half-brothers? I can't recall....) made a pact to never marry, nor have children.
He looks like the FedEx man who comes to my work sometimes.
I say DNA test - but it really won't matter, Hitler did have relatives, I think his sister died in the 50s or even later so who really cares if he had a child during WWI.
He was a beautiful painter, too bad the art school didn't accept him, I wonder how history would have been different?
I remember reading somewhere that his brothers (or nephews?) agreed not to have any children, just to reduce the chance of having another like Adolf...is this true?
I don't think anyone is arguing that point of view. What did I miss?
Only one of Hitler's siblings lived to adulthood, there are no direct decentents from Hitler's parents. But there are some from his half siblings -
There is a lot written about them...
David Gardner's book The Last of the Hitlers (2001)
Just responding to the ewwws and yikes and poor guy reactions.
I don't think any of that assumes he's evil or passing along Evil Genes. Just 'who would want to be Hitler's son?" His own relatives changed their name to avoid being associated with him. (And I think the lawyer musing about this man's heirs being entitled to royalties from Mein Kampf is just a bit tacky.)
And to the issue of Hitler...um...well, not performing, there was definitely some question about what he did or didn't do with Eva (he did specifically NOT want to be married or seen as taken, let alone have children, as he wanted to create the impression of being 'married to the fatherland') and of course there were the usual kind of stories that get told about enemy leaders. (And apparently the Russian autopsy doctors DID look to see if Hilter, in fact, had only got one...um..can I say that on FSU?)
I think that he should had shaved off the mustache.
In some cases it is so much better when the apple falls as further as possible from the tree.
You're kidding, right?
I had heard that Hitler painted before. But, I was never inspired to try and see what his artwork looked like. I just did. It is chilling that such bucolic paintings could come from such a hideous mind. Some of them are amateurish, but some are quite good. But, it repulses me to think anything he did was good. It is so disturbing to look at his paintings, I rather wish I hadn't.
Yes, this. It would be a pretty hard thing to have that in the family.
As an art history major in college, I had a prof who showed us architectural city paintings by Hitler. His point was that although well done, they had NO PEOPLE in them. Hitler just ignored the one thing the cities were built for. At least, that's what the prof told us. Kind of creepy....
So I think you can say it on FSU. Btw...I did not know this.
I've always wondered if there is a "correct" side to the nature vs nurture debate.
I have seen many city paintings with no people in it at all. I don't think they're creepy or disturbing or say anything much about the painters...
There is compelling evidence that crime does have a biological component - twin studies, adoption studies and studies on hormones and neurotransmitters have found that there is a genetic predisposition to criminality. And a theory called Evolutionary Neuroandrogenic (ENA) theory identifies twelve biological correlates of criminal behavior.
Of course, crime also has an environmental component, which is arguably strong, but in the extreme cases of Hitler and other psychopaths, I wonder if there isn't something seriously wrong their wiring. Could a loving, happy home have prevented Hilter from becoming Hitler?
If DNA proved that I was his grandchild I'd be horrified and perhaps terrified to procreate. And I don't know if I could accept any of the proceedings from Hitler's book.
As I like to think, genes are the potential, the environment does the rest. It's a rare person with such whacked-out genes that no supportive and loving environment can fix them, but I bet it does happen. IIRC one of the Columbine shooters was like this.
Many historian say it's highly doubtful. But who knows ?
This. I don't know when these photos were taken. If it was before Loret knew he might be Hitler's son, the coincidence is weird (except if it was a fashion shared by many at the time). If it was after, why choosing to trim one's facial hair in such a distinctive pattern ??
The point was that none of Hitler's paintings have people in them.
Well, there is one with a man sitting on a bridge. It is assumed to be a self portrait, though. There is an X above the man's head and the letters AH next to it.

hi, i want to know how did you closed your gauntlet, and how did you joint the 2 parts of each gauntled. Detailed view is welcome !
(my gauntlet is ESB version, but i think in ROTJ version is same)
hi, i want to know how did you closed your gauntlet, and how did you joint the 2 parts of each gauntled. Detailed view is welcome !
(my gauntlet is ESB version, but i think in ROTJ version is same)
I just use inustrial strength velcro. This may not be a perfect way, and you may have to experiment with it a little, but I have yet to have a problem with this method.
Some people actually use hinges to secure one end, but I'm not sure how the seal the other. Going with the hinges makes things pretty easy in my opinion.
I used hinge on one end and velcro on the other. Just get the piano hinge form home depot they come in foot long lengths 1' 2' 3' 4' etc... Then cut it to the right size with a hack saw. I then used plastic fusion or plastiwel (dont remember which I use them interchangeablely) to glue them to one side.
I studied the pics of the actual gauntlets and I think I figured out what they did.
On the right gauntlet, I used a slab of plastic to hold the two edges together, I then used JB weld to attach the flamethrower box to the side, using screws.
(generous helpings of hot glue, which remains a bit flexable)
One edge overlaps the other, so it has a mechanical type surface to hold on too.
I then used industrial strength velcro on the other side, and it "clamshells" together. It opens enough for me to slide it on my arm and holds pretty close.
On the left side, on the side with the box, I attached the the box to the top part of the gauntlet, with bolts and a piece of plastic.
This piece of plastic extended down a bit, to provide a "shelf" to slide the bottom piece in between the inside of the gauntlet and this shelf. Friction holds it in place.
On the other side, like the original, I placed a 1" strip of velcro on the outside of the gauntlet, and a strip on the inside of the bottom piece, it clamshells together.
I will post pics when I get home.
All in all, it's pretty stable, holds tight, and doesn't flex the gauntlets to much (mine are ruffikins (with the FG applied inside)
thanks for your rapid answer !
i m anxious to see the picture !
i have 4 half gauntlet and i want to fix them but i dont want to make error !
i think i fix the half gauntlet with a piano hinge.
i have another question : is the half gauntlet have the border on the second half gauntlet ? or just border next border ?
my first set was done by gluing one half together and velcroing the other half
gauntlet set #2 will be done with hinges on one side and magnets on the other.
for the magnet side, i picked up a pack of those super strong little magnets. i'm thinking i'll put those on the inside of the lower shell, and put a strip of metal on the inside of the upper shell.
the magnets *should* be strong enough to hold it through the plastic/fiberglass. we'll see though!
Magnets ... I never thought of that one! Hey Brian, what magents are these and where can one find them? Sounds like it may work, but the only problem MAY be shear or "slipping" (similar to putting too much weight on a refrigerator magnet and having it slide all the way down the door.) I don't know if there's enough friction to hold both ends of the gauntlet in place, but as you said "we'll see."
these are the magnets:
i've actually got a novelty / gift shop near my house that sells them, so i was able to pick up a handful for about 9 dollars.
they are REALLY strong, so i don't think they'll slip, particularly if i use 4-5 of them on each side.
anyone have a view of his systeme ?
pic of my gauntlet :
please anyone have a view of his gauntlet's systeme of opening and fixing ?
thanks !
as promised - here are shots of my solution:
This is the "shelf" i bolted to inside of the left one, I also added more support inside the "box" with plastic braces.
The bolts are covered with hot glue.
Here is the left lower part, with the velcro attached:
and the upper part has the velcro in the same place as the original prop:
The two together:
and here is why I made the shelf: (you can see the bolts here) -- the lower part will slide in between the shelf and the box, the friction between the two holds it in pretty tight.
I used the same technique for the right one, however, the two parts are attached together solid, they only split on the inside seam. They are bolted together with bolts that were sunk into the flamethower (jbweld) and through a piece of plastic inside for support.
You can see I also used bolts to attach the nozzle on the top - you should always use some sort of mechanical connection when attaching things like this, they are less prone to snap off.
Here is the velcro attached to the outside of the right lower part:
and in the inside:
and here they are both closed:
I still need to add my electronics, finish painting and the attachment of the fire parts...
I based this type of attachment on the pictures of the actual props. The velcro is industrial type - so it should stay "sticky" for a while, but I can always replace it if needed.
if you have any questions - shoot them on over!
thank you very much ! i know now !
the 2 side of your gauntlet was fixing by velcro ?
if anyone have other view of différent solution it's good !
only one side uses velco -Dark Amon said:
on the right one - both parts are bolted together, and clamshell together with velcro.
on the left one - the bottom part slides up into the top part, and uses velcro one side to hold it.
behind the flame thrower , do you have the view of the gauntlet ?
Dark Amon said:
there all above - the shots where you see the bolts, that how I attached them together.
ok thanks ! i ask it because i dont have finish the cuting of my gauntlet , and i dont want to cut it shorty ...
Dark Amon said:
Who made your gauntlets? Ruffkins?
you shouldn't have to cut them at all if you use my method, they should just slide in together, than you just drill holes to bolt them together.
my gauntlet was mold on ruffkins i think but i dont know is the good or not good size for the border !
my gauntlet was an ESB version but it's difficult to see the good cut because i see many différent ! Can you understand my problem ? where i cut and where i dont cut ? and how fix the half part ?
Ugh - their recasted?
You may want to just buy the real thing from Ruffkins, you will be better off in the long run.
I can't help you with the cut, as mine were orginal, and had no problems - you will have to make your best guess.
i dont know if it's recast or not but i buy there for a small price and i sand it after , i think the result was good but i make a lot of work for good result but is not impossible ! In tha past i star with awfull part but after a lot of work the result is very good !

We're looking at another exciting Friday night for high school football. As we get deeper into region play, don't let records fool you. In grudge matches between rivals, there's always a few surprises.
Here, we look at the games that might seem lopsided on paper, but should boil down to some classic contests.
As always, we must thank George Felt, whose labor of love Felt's Facts gives every high school football fan a bit of historical perspective. Some of his figures and observations are included here.
Bountiful (4-1) at Highland (3-2)
This Region 6 match-up will go a long way to determining who will be challenging East at the top of the standings this year. Defensively, this is one of the state's most intriguing contests.
The Braves have a strong running game led by beefy senior fullback Jakob Hunt, who has 12 touchdowns this season and more than 600 yards on the ground. Quarterback Jordan Hayes has filled in ably after Trevor Lloyd went down early in the season, and he'll be hunting for top receiving threat Tanner Redding. The defensive front seven is pretty hard to gain ground on lineman Junior Hamilton and linebacker Rylee Gutavai have combined for eight sacks. Bountiful did a great job stuffing Cyprus last week, holding them to 10 points.
Highland has a tough front seven of its own, anchored by defensive linemen Bryan Mone and Luti Nonu. Junior Adam Webber is a DI-caliber prospect patroling at linebacker. The unit did have trouble against Herriman and Lone Peak, giving up some yards to elite rushers, so Hunt should be a concern. This offense primarily thrives on the run, and a lot of guys will get a chance to carry the rock: Eight different Rams have had rushing touchdowns this year. Austin Peterson will have to find ways to throw over Bountiful's defense, as well.
Brighton (5-0) at Alta (4-1)
But for an Alta loss last week, this would be the most anticipated game in the state some argue it still is. The intrigue comes from a region contest featuring one of 5A's best running units against an elite passing offense.
Brighton, despite being 5-0 this season, would be considered the challenger here. But the Bengals have an enormous line led by Utah-committed junior Jackson Barton, a 6-foot-7, 285-pound tackle. Behind this unit, brothers Uaea and Osa Masina have been running free. The attack was slowed up last week by Pleasant Grove, and Brighton just barely escaped with a win. Part of the reason for that was its own defense, which gets a boost from Isaiah Kafusi on the line and Uaea Masina at safety in the secondary. Aside from a special teams play last week, the defense has only allowed two offensive touchdowns in the last two weeks.
Expect more points from No. 3-ranked Alta, which despite being humbled last week against Jordan still has a tremendous passing game. Harrison Handley, Ammon Barker and Mack Richards are bigger than most defensive backs and can make explosive plays. Chipper Lucero threw for 393 yards last week with no interceptions against the No. 1 Beetdiggers. The Hawks need more out of their running game to control tempo, and they need to stop the run. After giving up nearly 350 yards on the ground to Jordan, this defense will have to find some fire to compete with Brighton's strong line.
Herriman (4-1) at Skyline (2-3)
The Mustangs would be the favorite in this match-up, now the No. 2-ranked team in the state and looking for their first region title. In the way is Skyline, which clipped Herriman last year in a one-point stunner.
Herriman thrives on the run, relying on running back Francis Bernard, quarterback Tueni Lupeamanu and backup rusher Brandon Farmer to get down the field fast. The Mustangs are one of the leading rushing teams in the state this year, and Lupeamanu has also thrown for 671 yards and five touchdowns this year. Both Lupeamanu and and Bernard are also factors on defense, where the Mustangs held Hillcrest to less than 50 yards rushing last week.
Skyline has struggled early this season, but is a traditional slow starter. The Eagles' star is Garrett England, a BYU-committed receiver who can score running the ball, catching the ball or in the return game. Quarterback Tyler Snyder is the main rushing threat, notching more than 400 yards on the ground. The Eagles have had their struggles up front, but last week rolled in a 41-0 win against Murray. Part of that success is credited to the team's defense. Machi Ubani is a double-team threat up front, while Roman Salehi can blow up a lot of plays at linebacker. Defense was the main reason Skyline came back last year the Eagles will be hoping for the same kind of magic.
Riverton (3-2) at Bingham (4-1)
Although this rivalry has been fairly one-sided, emotions typically run high for this game between schools in proximity. The Miners haven't been invincible this year, and the Silverwolves seem improved.
Riverton's strength is defense, even though they've allowed a lot of points. If you look at their tough preseason schedule, all of the teams they faced were held below their season average. Seven players have at least one sack this year, and guys such as Ethan Cutler, Brady Holt and Tevita Loamanu bring the pressure. Albert Tai is a tackling machine in the middle. If Riverton is to keep up, they'll have to score big as they did in their 41-13 romping of Kearns. Jake Simonich is the leading rusher with 336 yards in the Silverwolves' attack, but three other backs have at least 150 yards on the ground.
Bingham seems to have found its stride, scoring 78 points in their last two wins over Layton and Cottonwood. The Miners love to control the clock with the run, using quick Wildcat-style quarterback Jantzen Bowles for a handful of snaps, or handing the ball off to reliable bruiser Tonga Manu. The offense often gets great field position because a dominant defense, particularly standout pass rusher and Boise State commit Durrant Miles, who has 5 sacks this year. Koa Wilson is also a dangerous playmaker, grabbing three picks so far. Lowell Lotulelei will be a key player in this match-up, he'll have to help control the line of scrimmage against Riverton's run.
Timpview (4-1) at Timpanogos (5-0)
The Region 8 division title is very much at stake in this game. Timpview is no suprise, but the Timberwolves have somewhat come out of nowhere to have their first 5-0 start since … well, ever.
The Thunderbirds have quarterback Jake Lloyd and that's a pretty big chip to throw around. The senior has nearly 1,400 yards passing this year, with 17 touchdowns and only two picks. His favorite receivers are Dax Raymond and Braydon Galland, who each have more than 20 catches so far. Just about no one has been able to stop this attack. Defensively, Timpview gets a lot from pass rushers Gabe Reid and Pita Taumoepenu, who have combined for 10 sacks on the season. In region play, the Thunderbirds have only allowed two touchdowns so far.
The challenger is Timpanogos, and the reason the Timberwolves are relevant this season is tremendous defense: only about 8 points per game. Riley Schwenke specializes in sacks, getting to the quarterback six times already this season. Several of his teammates have also done well in that regard. On offense, the team is led by Kaden Bramhall, who has six touchdowns against only one interception this year. The guy Timpview really should be worried about is Jacob Hougaard, a running back who has more than 400 yards, 4 touchdowns rushing and a return score this season.
Quick hitters
• If Syracuse beats Layton, and Northridge beats Weber this week, we could have another battle of unbeatens on Sept. 28 in what could decide Region 1.
• Can Cottonwood win? The Colts' best chance for a trailhead on the road to redemption is this week against fellow winless squad West Jordan.
• Stansbury is leading Region 11, running rampant to a 5-0 start, but they'll have to take on Morgan in what might be their toughest test in region pla
• If Duchesne can beat Layton Christian on the road this week, they'll take sole possesion of fourth place in the longest winning streaks in state history with 27 in a row.

Well, for starters, Meryl and Charlie. They may have lost Worlds, but were still incredible and their Die Fledermaus was the FD of the season. Then they won the WTT and the GPF.
Plus Takahashi. Won WTT and the GPF and came 2nd at Worlds. Besides, show me somebody who doesn't love him.
Virtue and Moir deserve this imo for persevering through her injury (since tessa said that she was still experiencing intense pain after worlds 2011 and because you know, they could've just retired) and for reinventing themselves and bringing something fresh to the sport everytime they compete
also for making a boring, overused piece of music interesting again.
Davis & White, without a doubt!!!
IMO, Meryl and Charlie deserve it for their enduring talent, and for their sportsmanship and grace when coming in second to their rivals and equals, V/M. Plus, Meryl and Charlie's amazing and consistently performed tour de force, Die Fledermaus, their absolutely beautiful SD to Giselle, and their stunning FD performance at GPF 2012 to win their 4th consecutive GPF, in addition to the way they always challenge themselves to improve and to give it their all every time they go out onto the ice.
Tessa and Scott.......constantly challenging themselves with something different each year. For their beautiful lines and expression and connection. They have overcome so much in their competitive careers.......my hat is off to them again and again.
Davis & White
Virtue and Moir
Patrick Chan
Takahito Kozuka
Volzoshar and Trankov
Mao Asada
I came in here to vote for Javier Fernandez, but sadly, he's not on the list.
Voted for Kostner. Even with some shortcomings on jumps, and lack of GP 2012 season. It is so rare- and gratifying- to have a Lady World Champion who puts artistry as the cornerstone of her skating. There are artistic women skaters, of course, but I rarely ( almost never?) feel that they skate for artistic expression first and foremost. With Kostner, I do, and that makes her wins very memorable.

Hi Lucy,
My question deals with inversion. As is known, inversion can be grammatical and emphatic. The former is obligatory and is used, for example, in questions, e.g. Must I do it now? The latter is regarded as a stylistic device and serves as an alternative to the standard word order, e.g. I know little about it. -- Little do I know about it.
Teaching grammatical inversion is something we know quite well because we deal with it from the very beginning. The problem is emphatic inversion, which is usually taught to advanced students, and from what I was able to find out in grammar textbooks, is not methodologically worked out.
It is either translating from students' mother tongue or mechanically converting sentences with the standard word order to sentences with an inverted word order, without any understanding of the purposes of all those manipulations.
As a result, not knowing what it is all about, students get bored, confused and often apply inversion inadequately (like, 'In vain did I try to do this exercise yesterday', after which the class howls with laughter).
I would appreciate it if you could suggest some interesting and efficient method for teaching this grammar topic.

What are your thoughts on leaving mags loaded? I always have my spare mags loaded with ammo. Is this bad for the spring? I do the same for my shotguns. How do you store your ammo for ready access?

What are your thoughts on leaving mags loaded? I always have my spare mags loaded with ammo. Is this bad for the spring? I do the same for my shotguns. How do you store your ammo for ready access?
Do a search around this forum.
Springs wear out from the act of compression and decompression.
Compression alone will not wear out the springs. :smt023
All my mags are currently fully loaded.
What the others said. I have a fully loaded magazine in the weapon, and two more loaded magazines in my gun safe.
Spring fatigue is caused by cycling loads (compression then decompression), however springs do have some creep effect (being loaded under a contant load) which is really small for steel springs much less than 1%..So keeping the mags loaded is OK. One time I was worried about spring loading and that's why I did some research on the topic..My 2 cents.
I keep several mags fully loaded.
I wasn't aware of the opposing force (decompression) also playing a role in wearing out the springs. I suppose I should cut down on the 2-month "breathing" I do because I thought I was relieving some mag tension.
Back to the topic. Usually I have three weapons at home ready to go (my EDC via minivault and two in the main safe), each with a loaded mag next to it. If I can't stop a threat with that available firepower, I need to seriously consider evacuating the house, or pray.... :smt120
I keep my mags full because you never know when you might need them.
True that! Springs can not become fatigued by just staying loaded!!!
my mags are always full, otherwise theyre useless
I beg to differ not that the springs would go bad but would need a break. I may not have as mainy years with weapons as most on this site, but I have used mainy differant weapons from US to foreign, on active duty and personal time. I have had springs from the fallowing weapons systems that "loose pep in their step."
Baretta 92f
sig sp 2340
colt and FN m16 a2
most of my magazines where new except for about 3/4 of my 5.56 mags. i had to "relieve tension" from the mag springs because after being loaded for a while they would not cycle the rounds up into the chamber. So the armors had us take apart the mags and give the springs springs a break. It was common in the baretta mags not so much in th m16 but it did have to be done. my new duty weapon a sig sp 2340 is horible with it.
Just some food for thought.
Granted over [I]years[I] springs do lose their spring but I think gun makers take this into account in their design process and build them to be fully loaded all the time and also to be cycled many times.
Just my $0.02
To store fully loaded mags over a long period of time will weaken the spring in my opinion, 6-7 months with a fully loaded Glock mag gave fedingproblems due to a weakened spring, when emptied it regained some strength.
Storing a loaded mag is absolutely no problem, there is two ways to do it as i see it:
* Use two mags to alternate between and move the bullets to the other mag every third month and the magsprings will live forever.
* Remove two bullets from the fully loaded mag, that way the spring will last very long time before the feeding problem shows up.

Yes, recycling is the best way to reduce the cost of cartridge. You can recycle a cartridge three to four times. There are many companies that will give to filled cartridge when you will give them the empty cartridge.
Posted 15 October 2012 - 05:28 AM
Definitely, you can save your money by recycling of brother printer ink cartridges. For this, you can contact some empty cartridges filling companies if you go for new cartridge,it will have high cost.
Posted 25 April 2013 - 06:07 AM
Recycling Brother printer cartridges is nice and simple! They have a dedicated recycling page where you enter your personal details to generate a free post form. Not wishing to miss a trick, Brother have included a check box to subscribe you to an information mailing list, so make sure its not checked when you submit your details! Once youve submitted your details they dont make it clear where your free post label is, so click the image to the left to enlarge a screenshot with the necessary link circled. If you have an old photo then you can also print it on canvas it looks so good and live. For a canvas print, you can try Magnipic site.

Re: Mechanical Love
eets good :D
Re: Combustible Prey
Like the way the charcoal worked out.
Very cool! Though I wish the big gears in the back were a little more subtle... maybe smaller or one of the brown colors. They seem a bit big and dark in the back, to me anyway.
Re: Heart Broken
A missing piece of heart, that can never be replaced... don't worry i'm not emo.
Re: Soul Mechanism
So is this another one of your trees? It looks just like your bouquet of circles in the previous derby--just with some gears added this time. Where's the steam?
jasneko wrote:Very cool! Though I wish the big gears in the back were a little more subtle... maybe smaller or one of the brown colors. They seem a bit big and dark in the back, to me anyway.
I tried them in the other colors I had, but all of those colors were much, much more noticeable than the black. Black was my best option.
Re: Steampunk not Chuck Norris
GMV because you weren't a p_ssy and put p_ssy in the title--not cat. There... I think its outta my system now.
jewelwing wrote:Cool! It looks "sooty." Almost didn't click on the thumbnail tho... It doesn't really hint at how cool the design is.
Thanks. I find choosing the design detail almost the most difficult part of the whole derby process.
Perhaps next time I should start with an enticing detail and then work out...
Oof! I like this design! Good stuff.
My entry for the derby! Votes and comments appreciated! I tried to keep it simple, and old school, but also give it a flair of its own. =)

Re: Throw me away
A shame it is missing the steam...
Re: Let's Play
This reminds me of the Iron Giant, which I love - definitely GMV!
jasneko wrote:Heh, actually just a different back steam color... I had intended to change it, but forgot until after I uploaded it. So you like it better? I just need a few more votes on this one to affirm it's the better color so I can delete the other one;)
I definately like this one.
Re: Steamworks Operatica
0_0 amazing artistic skills! I like this!
Re: the steam punk
Does this remind anyone else of Bioshock? Completely different design and artwork, but the little sister with the big daddy is creepy and cool.
Awesome job.
What are you doing, Dave? Stop... You're killing me, Dave...
Re: Push my buttons
I like this, just seems soft b/c the metal is a cream color.
Also, I'm not sure why there's steam coming out of the top. Just seems like extra crowding for me to help make the point, but I think if you colored it to look more metallic it might get the point across better.
Nice work and nice concept though!
I like it Iceman...and the colors work well with the design. I usually don't like cream shirts, but this one I do!
aww. cute. i like it.
Re: Combat Wombat
Cool. i like the little story goes well with the pic. And your art style is very different from others. YEY!
Re: Darwinism
Cute, and I like the sketchiness. Well done!
Re: Super-punk
Do you all think this will get banned? Of course, the woot powers can ban whatever they feel... They own the site and they are the gods of this realm. But in my defense, the pentagon, or more specifically this exact shape of pentagon is used for diamonds and represents all of the positive qualities of diamonds. As for the more obvious reference, the generic shape is the only thing that links it to what you are most possibly currently thinking about...
um...what's the point? maybe it's supposed to be funny?
I'm waiting for some one to say the robot's proportions are way off. ;)
Nice job ramyb! Probably one of my favorites of yours this year. =)
I just knew this was yours the minute I saw it. I get the feeling this particular derby subject is right up your street. Excellent work!
Can you link to a bigger pic of just the entire graphic?
I like it, but it's sorta tough to see what the image will look like on its own.
Sweet design! I think the colors look well on black and i like the meaning
Hey this looks pretty good. I like the subtle colors. Great job!
This is wicked!! Love it.
Re: Leonarda Da Punk
Lol, love the name, and the shirt color fits really well with the design. Good job! +1
Re: The Watchman
I love the watchman! Awesomely done. I think the design might be stronger without the gear elements, or at least more subtle or smaller gear elements... to me it distracts a little from the fantastically detailed watchman guy.

that was my first thought too
I really like this one

This definitely looks interesting. I love the use of goldish colors. Good job.
Here are some close ups:

We strive to make our clients' brands stand for something—to have a cultural significance and impact, not just category relevance. We believe that brands can play an important part in the world around us by having a deeper meaning, to stand for something and to stand up to something and to play a role in people's lives.
This starts by putting a stake in the ground for a brand's aspiration beyond their current category; we then define the Brand Conviction which becomes a North Star for all future activities—from how clients behave internally to what they communicate externally—accompanied with a clear pathway to get there from here.
DDB Chicago announced today that highly-regarded industry leader Andrew Kasprzycki will be joining the agency as EVP, Global Client Lead starting immediately on leadership of the future-forward ConAgra team. The ConAgra account is the most recent DDB Client to align with DDB's "Agency of the Future" model, which was most recently operationalized for the U.S. McDonald's business via sister agency We Are Unlimited.
Paul Gunning, Chief Executive Officer of DDB Chicago stated, "We are thrilled to have Andrew joining our team in this leadership role. He's a proven and highly acclaimed thought leader in the industry whose experience and know-how will have immediate impact for many of our client partners and our agency at large."
Andrew joins the agency most recently from Starcom Worldwide, a division of Publicis Groupe, where he most recently served as Executive Vice President, Managing Director leading the New Establishment Brands Group. The group drove award-winning global business results for brands like Airbnb, Twitter and Houzz, among others. Prior to joining Starcom, Andrew was founder and President at Proximity Chicago, a division of BBDO, where he drove exponential growth for the agency and clients. The return to DDB is a coming home of sorts for Kasprzycki as he was with Tribal Chicago from 2005-2008, working with multiple clients.
"Our industry is always talking about the agency of the future and DDB truly understands that the future is now. In a world of always on, connected experiences, I'm excited to bring a powerful mix of collaboration and creativity to impact our client's business," said Andrew.

And we have to accept that "meditation" has become a replacement for "bhavana" which is understandable but can unfortunately lead to a de-emphasis on the fact that in meditation we are supposed to be "cultivating" something, whether it be insight, samatha, metta, etc.

Limited Quantity Exception - Air Service (49 CFR HM-215K)
If the "Ground and Air Packaging Exceptions" column of the chemical table references a specific packaging exception, refer to that section of 49 CFR to determine if your material qualifies for the exception. If your shipment does not meet all the conditions for that exception, you must prepare the material under the rules for a fully regulated hazardous material.
Using "Benzene" as an example, the DOT regulations allow this material to be shipped as a limited quantity if it meets the conditions of 49 CFR 173.150 -- that is, non-specification outer packaging is permitted if inner receptacles do not exceed a capacity of 1 L. You must also meet the requirements of 49 CFR 173.27 (f) Table 3 for maximum inner receptacle capacity. If any of the inner receptacles exceeds the .5 L capacity or the requirements of Table 3, your shipment is ineligible for this exception.
If the shipment is being offered for air service, you must prepare the package with the appropriate hazard markings and label(s). The new acceptable air ltd qty mark under HM-215K is depicted below.
The Shipping Paper and Shipper's Certification must include the wording "Limited Quantity" or "LTD QTY" following the basic description as this statement will show that your package is excepted from the specification packaging requirements.
Even though your packaging need not be a UN performance package, it must meet the requirements of 49 CFR 173.24 and 173.24(a) and must be capable of meeting the requirements of the ISTA Procedure 3A test. UPS will not accept any PG I materials in limited quantity packaging for air transport.

Ignoring NAS report, Cavuto falsely claimed temperature data not reliable beyond "about 100 years"
Neil Cavuto falsely claimed that data on the Earth's average temperature are not "reliable" beyond "about 100 years." In fact, the National Academy of Sciences released a report in June 2006, which stated, "with a high level of confidence," that during the last few decades of the 20th century, the Earth's average surface temperature was higher than any other period in the last 400 years.
On the March 20 edition of Fox News' Your World -- during a segment featuring the on-screen graphic: "Al Gore and Global Warming: Is His Information Accurate?" -- host Neil Cavuto questioned the reliability of data showing that the recent increase in the Earth's average surface temperature surpasses that of other warming periods during the past four centuries. Cavuto and his guest, meteorologist Larry Cosgrove, both falsely claimed that such comparisons are misleading because the data are not "reliable" beyond "about 100 years." Yet a June 2006 report [1] by the National Academy of Sciences [2] (NAS) determined "with a high level of confidence" that during the last few decades of the 20th century, the Earth's average surface temperature was higher than any other period in the last 400 years.
From the NAS report [3], titled "Surface Temperature Reconstructions for the Last 2,000 Years":
It can be said with a high level of confidence that global mean surface temperature was higher during the last few decades of the 20th century than during any comparable period during the preceding four centuries. This statement is justified by the consistency of the evidence from a wide variety of geographically diverse proxies.
From the March 20 edition of Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto:
ANNA AURILIO (U.S. Public Interest Research Group federal legislative director): Well, Neil, the top climate scientists say something's really happening. We've got cherry blossoms in January. As Larry [Cosgrove] pointed out, the polar bears are drowning, the ice that they depend on is melting. And again, the good news is, the things --
CAVUTO: But how do you know -- wait, wait, how do you know that wasn't occurring 150 years ago? Reliable statistics we have now go back only about 100 years, right?
AURILIO: Well, no, I mean, if we go back to the great explorers of the Earth, they were always looking for a Northwest Passage through the Arctic Sea ice. This goes back hundreds of years. This year, for the first time --
CAVUTO: But you don't have accurate --
AURILIO: -- people were actually able to find it.
CAVUTO: But you don't have accurate measurements of what the Earth's temperature was even more than a century ago, right?
AURILIO: Actually, the International Panel on Climate Change, which is the world's top climate scientists, say that the Earth's temperature and the carbon buildup in the atmosphere, more importantly, is higher than it's been in 20,000 years. And they know that from all the --
CAVUTO: Do you buy that Larry? Is it the highest it's been in 20,000 years?
COSGROVE: And again, I have to disagree, Anna, simply because the data, as Neil pointed out, is not reliable beyond about 100 years.
And I'll take it one step further. Let's go further back to when the Norse settled Greenland. Now, think about that. It's very tough to settle an ice, rock-bound community, but they were doing farming in Greenland many, many hundreds of years ago. Why? Because the climate had warmed sufficiently to allow that.
My bottom line is this: Yes, carbon emissions may be hurting the atmosphere. It may be inducing --
COSGROVE: -- some global warming, but is it doing it all? I don't think so. I think there's a natural cycle.
CAVUTO: All right. Larry and Anna, I want to get you both back here. You both argue your points very well. Thank you.
Aurilio's statement that "the International Panel on Climate Change, which is the world's top climate scientists, say that the Earth's temperature and the carbon buildup in the atmosphere, more importantly, is higher than it's been in 20,000 years" may be a reference to the IPCC's latest report on climate change. The report's "Summary for Policymakers" states [4]:
The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) has increased by 31% since 1750. The present CO2 concentration has not been exceeded during the past 420,000 years and likely not during the past 20 million years. The current rate of increase is unprecedented during at least the past 20,000 years.

It's small enough to add a mast stepping system and with the swing keel I can raise/lower the keel to suit my needs.

Which makes me wonder, what would be the maximum size sailboat that a mast stepping system would be practical?
its really not a worry for those that want to remove the mast from a sailboat and use the hull as a cruiser only... there definitley are pros and cons, but for the most part, thru this entire thread it has been about how rolly the sailboat would be in a seaway without the mast, and, yes it is a fact.... but not so much that it is unbearable like so many "swear" it is.
these people have obviously never been aboard a powerboat in a choppy seaway....
my point is, they are comparing a sailboat without a mast to a sailboat WITH a mast, so yes, they are correct. but when comparing the mastless sailboat to a powerboat, the sailboat is more stable.... a 30' powerboat bobs like a cork, but can sink like a rock when inverted... at least the mastless sailboat will return upright.
as for trawlers, they CAN ride better because some of them DO have a shallow, but weighted keel... and all of them are designed to be as stable as possible, but for a man on a budget as most who would consider doing this is, a trawler is out of the budget.
and it IS true that a sailboat is quite a bit more fuel efficient than an equivalent powerboat.... and boats in the 28 to 32ft range, all have about the same storage space available... when they start getting bigger, the powerboats do begin to have larger spaces to store stuff.
for those that think one could by an old powerboat and put a smaller engine in it to gain the fuel economy... this is not very well thought out statement.
powerboat hulls do NOT slip thru the water as easily as a sailing hull does... and by the time one gets done repowering/modifying the powerboat hull in an attempt to make it as fuel efficient as the sail hull, the sail hull will can be thousands of miles away, with money still in the kitty.....
I am also a firm believer that all things being equal between a smaller "budget" sailboat and the traditional style "budget" powerboat, a sailboat is a more comfortable home for long term cruising....
And, if I was out somewhere in the ocean broke down, where help may be days or weeks away, I would much rather be in a mastless sailboat, than I would in a traditional powerboat... because during a storm, it is safer even if you only take a minimal amount of care.
trawlers are not included in this assessment because I believe that anyone considering doing this is working on a tight budget...
even if it does go against the grain of what most people want to believe, it can be a very economical way to go boating... but one should consider the reasonable pros and cons, not the unreasonable ones....

Re: Sailboat without a mast
Another thought I had thinking about this rotational inertia stuff.
If putting mass further way from the center of rotation dampens the effect of spin, i.e. putting a mast on a boat, then by the same logic, wouldn't putting heavier weight at the ends of the boat, as opposed the middle of the boat, dampen the effect of pitching?
Maybe some of your physicists here can answer that question.

Under this principle, simply adding weight on deck wouldn't help, you'd have to add weight aloft to get the increase between the "axis of rotation" and mass, increasing the "moment of inertia."
The effect apparently depends on the amount of mass and the distance it is away from the center of axis. Thus, having a top heavy mast would apparently reduce the speed of roll compared to a lightweight carbon job, which would allow for faster roll.
Again, sounds counter intuitive to me, but consistent with the posts of more knowledgeable and experienced members.
But I have a cat so all this is irrelevant to me.

Re: Sailboat without a mast
Thanks Jeff, sound advice.
Our boat is a PDQ 32 cat, so the rolling should not an issue. That it might make more sense to buy and sell a trawler versus putting a thousand or so hours on the engines is an interesting proposition I'll have to mull a bit.
Re: Sailboat without a mast
This somewhat depends on the boat in question and on you. I don't have experience making the loop but I have a little experience on boats without their masts. There have been a few times when I have had to move a sailboat without a mast. In one case, after my Folkboat lost its mast, and another bringing an approximately 40 foot boat to Direcktors to get a new mast when I worked there in the 1970's. In both cases the motion on these boats was so violent that even moving safely around the decks was very difficult. Power boat wakes (we were in the Intercoastal Waterway) were shocking events that made standing almost impossible and moving about the cabin quite dangerous.
But what I am not sure about is whether these were a unique experiences or typical. I have never been sure whether there was something about these specific boats that resulted in the experiences that I had. I have purposely asked people who have motored with their masts on their deck whether they have noticed a different motion. All say that they have and most said that it was bearable. I don't know how much worse not having a mast aboard would be from there.
So, in my mind the answer would seem to lie in the specifics of the boat and your tolerance for uncomfortable motion. If I was considering doing something like that, I would have the mast removed and put on the dock, and then go out in snotty weather or a busy weekend and see whether I was comfortable or not. If I was marginally comfortable, I would then add some ballast to get the boat to sit on her lines, (or down in the bow a little since you are motoring and most boats squat when they are motoring) and go out and try that again, and see how that felt.
If it was acceptable to you, you have your answer. If its not acceptable to you, then you had planned to have the mast removed for the trip anyway, and at that point, I would build a cradle to support the mast on deck and try that to see if that is any more comfortable. If that was not bearable, do some maintenance on your mast and then put it back up and look for other options.
But frankly, if it were me, as others have suggested, you probably would be way ahead of the game buying a small trawler yacht, make the trip, and then selling her when you got back. The depreciation on the trawler should not be all that much worse than having to rebuild the engine on your sailboat after putting a couple thousand hours on it, and the shallower draft and larger accommodations would make the trip more comfortable.
Re: Sailboat without a mast
I know this is an old thread -- but it is a ongoing question.
I wouldn't buy a sailboat to use permanently as a non-sailboat for reasons others have mentioned.
But for purposely of doing the Great Loop (mentioned in the OP) only, I see some logic to removing the mast for the trip.
I have not done the Great Loop, but when I took a sailboat up the ICW a few years back, the "sail" part of the boat was not an advantage. There were very few places that were actually practical to sail in, and having a mast meant innumerable times waiting for bridges to open. Most of the times we just motored, and waited for bridges.
There were few area where we had to navigate any kind of signficant wave action, Albermarle Sound comes to mind, and Chasapeake Bay. But mostly the biggest problem with waves were from other boats.
Except for the Great Lakes, it seems that most of the rest of the Great Loop is probably in the same category. I'm guessing you're probably not going to be actually sailing much. And to go thru the Eire locks and Chicago, you've got to take down the mast and put it back up, twice.
We are planning a Great Loop trip on a sailboat in a couple years, and I'm thinking of leaving my mast at a yard in one of the Okeechobee storage places. No waiting on bridges, and the costs of the extra fuel needed for areas I could actually sail would probably be less than the costs of unstepping and stepping the mast a couple times. And we don't have to deal with the mast laying on our deck and hanging over the ends for half the trip.
For sailors who have actually done the Great Loop, I'd appreciate your views. Did you do a lot of actual sailing on the trip?
Re: Sailboat without a mast
I love it; "If one could repower up a bit to have a frankenstein trawler cat that would be efficient at low speed (trawler-like gph) but have some 'umph' when you needed/wished to go faster, too."
Yeah, that's the poor man's way, let's just repower! A couple of BIGGER diesels will probably need bigger shafts, different screws and perhaps even struts.
Never mind that most cats have very narrow engine spaces, and oh, I guess we will need to reinforce the engine beds for the greater horsepower. Of course, adding a few hundred pounds to the stern of any boat, let alone a cat, should really improve performance as well, wouldn't you think?
Repowering with bigger engines to go slow is like buying a shrimp trawler or a tug boat to make long distance voyages; it is never economical.
I love how some people will come on here with a rather impractical idea and abuse those who have a pretty good idea of that impracticality, ignoring some pretty good advice. If I had a buck.......
Re: Sailboat without a mast
I guess this is how it goes. I want to do something stupid, but if you think its stupid, you're stupid.

DENVER — The Denver Outlaws hosted the Long Island Lizards tonight in their 2010 home opener, beating them 13-10 despite having Head Coach Brian Reese suspended for his ejection in the Outlaws season opener versus the Boston Cannons May 15, 2010.
Denver took advantage of under-experienced Lizards Goalie Andrew Adams, as Outlaws Midfielder Max Seibald stole the show with a hat trick and three assists to win the Bud Light Game MVP. Denver Attacker Matt Brown added three goals of his own, while Lizards Midfielder Stephen Berger chipped in his own hat trick.
"Obviously playing in front of a big crowd, our home opener, it's important to get a win, especially since we dropped to the Boston Cannons last week," Acting Head Coach Tom Slate said. "We wanted to go 1-1. You always start out wanting to play four quarters and we probably played two or three, still not there. We got the 'W' and it's time to celebrate a little bit."
Berger scored the opening goal of the Outlaws home opener 59 seconds in the first quarter but the lead was eliminated as Seibald scored an unassisted goal approximately three-and-a-half minutes later. Lizards Attackers Tim Goettelman and Matt Danowski netted two quick goals, which were followed shortly after by an unassisted goal from Lizards Midfielder John Glynn to pull Long Island ahead 4-1.
The two teams renewed their rivalry with unsportsmanlike conduct penalties on both sides at the 7:20 mark of the first, before Outlaws Midfielder Casey Cittadino put a goal past the inexperienced Adams to cut the Long Island lead in half, ending the first quarter with Denver down 4-2.
"I'm kind of new to this rivalry because I wasn't here last year," Slate said. "Whenever you play Long Island they're tough guys. You just don't want to get caught in their game. Play our game and if they get some penalties then you just bury them on man up and score."
Attacker Drew Westervelt drew the 'Laws within one with a power play goal, scoring 42 seconds into the second quarter and Attacker Joey Murray knotted the game up three minutes later off a goal assisted by Westervelt. Seibald dished out his second assist of the half, as Midfielder Brian Langtry nailed a two-point goal. An eight-and-a-half minute possession battle ensued, before Berger scored back-to-back goals to tie the game at six going into halftime.
Seibald secured a home-opening hat trick, starting the third quarter with an unassisted goal almost three minutes into the quarter which was followed by a goal from Attacker Brendan Mundorf. Lizards Midfielder Anthony Muscarella stalled the Outlaws scoring run but couldn't stop it, as Denver rattled off four straight goals thanks to Brown, Mundorf and Seibald.
The Lizards temporarily stopped the bleeding with a goal from Midfielder Chris Fiore, just over nine minutes into the quarter, prior to a rivalry-fueled scrum in front of the Long Island goal. Brown scored his third goal of the game, his first hat trick of the season, to put the Lizards in a 13-8 hole after three quarters.
Long Island kicked off the scoring five seconds into the fourth quarter, with unassisted goals from Midfielder Greg Gurenlian and Attacker Zach Greer to bring the Lizards within three. The Outlaws defense held off the Lizards attack for the remaining duration of the game, ending the game with a final score of 13-10.
With 11 saves, Schwartzman has started off the season with back-to-back double digit save performances and matched Adams save total of 11 in tonight's game.

Canonical has released details of the new version of its Linux-based Ubuntu operating system which has taken design inspirations from tablet and smartphone interfaces and brings the new Unity interface to all platforms.
Last October Canonical unveiled the new Unity interface for netbooks but today has announced that it will be bringing the new interface to all form factors. Canonical claims the Unity interface is now simpler, easier to use and "more beautiful" than previous versions of Ubuntu. Ubuntu has long claimed to make older PCs run faster and while the new graphical interface looks very nice, for owners of stone-age PCs, Ubuntu will automatically determine if their graphics card supports Unity and provide a 'classic' experience when Unity would not work.
Unity moves away from traditional interfaces and taking the web as inspiration, uses search as the main way of finding content on your computer. Searching is hosted in the dash, which brings files, applications, music and video together in a single location and all searchable though the same bar. The launcher on the left hand side of the screen allows you to configure which applications you want to want access to quickly. Another new addition is global menus, which, for most pre-installed apps, means the menus for all applications will be in the same place at the top of the screen.Canonical has apparently taken inspiration from the headsup displays as used in FPS games to allow for plenty of information to be shown on screen without interrupting your main task. It has to be said, the result does look rather similar to Apple's OSX, which of course many will consider a good thing.
Ubuntu 11.04 also fully supports touch-screen devices with gestures triggering actions like scrolling, workspace-switching and expanding and contracting screens. The Ubuntu Software Centre has also been integrated with the dash, allowing users to add applications to their system quickly as well now being able to see reviews and ratings for each app. Looking to the cloud, Ubuntu One offers free online syncing and sharing for contacts and files, combined with a music streaming service currently available on both iPhone and Android platforms.
Ubuntu, as with any Linux distro, is somewhat of a niche product which for years has been limited to technophiles but with the Unity interface, Canonical will be hoping that Ubuntu will gain a broader appeal. And to that end, for the first time ever, users will be able to trial the operating system online using only their browser. Visitors to Ubuntu.com will be able to access a complete version of the latest product without having to download anything.
"This release breaks new ground for Ubuntu by offering users a PC experience that is stylish and efficient" said Jane Silber, CEO of Canonical. "With this release Ubuntu will recruit an entirely new wave of users to free software. Ubuntu 11.04 is a high watermark for what has been achieved with open-source technologies for the everyday computer user."
Ubuntu 11.04, and the trial online version, will be available from 28 April while Ubuntu One is available today here with apps available from the Android Marketplace and iTunes AppStore. It will ship with the Firefox 4 web browser, Libre Office suite, Banshee media player and Evolution email client.

Toutant and Graham Win Fall 2008 Wayne Law Mock Trial Competition
DETROIT (Nov. 26, 2008) – Wayne State University Law School congratulates Philip Toutant and Chastity Graham on recently winning the Fall 2008 Donald E. Barris Trial Competition.
Mock Trial (formerly known as the Student Trial Advocacy Program) is a co-curricular activity at Wayne Law that allows second- and third-year law students the opportunity to gain and practice litigation skills. Interested students try out for the program at the beginning of each school year, and participants earn academic credit for conducting two trials each semester. After the second trial, the four teams with the highest point averages compete in a semi-final round, and then two teams advance to compete in the final round – the Donald E. Barris Trial Competition. The winners receive a $500 scholarship and may receive a position on the Mock Trial National Team.
In this year's competition, titled The State of Lone Star v. Gregory Hamilton , Graham and Toutant represented the criminally-charged defendant, George Hamilton, while finalists Mami Kato and Toi Dennie represented the prosecution, The State of Lone Star. Competition judges included Assistant Wayne County Prosecutor Sita Doddamani and Wayne Law Mock Trial Commissioner Kevin McGiness. The competition was presided over by Judge Wade Harper McCree of the Wayne County Third Judicial Circuit Court, Criminal Division. The Law School is especially grateful for the participation of the judges.

We used to reserve "kit gun" for .22s and .22 magnums only.
I am considering the SP101 in 3" or the S & W 60-15 in 3" with the hi-viz sights. Have you shot yours yet? With magnums? Let me know what your experience is.
The SP101 is heavier (which is both good and bad) and cheaper (which is good). I've always been a S & W guy, so switching sides would represent a trauma.

Due to renovations, patients and visitors are encouraged to use the Main Entrance/Degenstein Pavilion, and park in Parking Lots A and B.
PreAdmission care begins when you and your surgeon determine that surgery is necessary. You will be asked to register for your health screening and tests about two weeks before your scheduled surgery. Your doctor's office staff will call to schedule a time for your PreAdmission visit.
The scope of testing performed during your PreAdmission visit may include blood and urine tests, an EKG and a chest X-ray, as well as any additional tests required by your physician and/or anesthesiologist. Your physician's office will give you instructions.
The items you need to bring with you to PreAdmission are listed on the checklist. It is important for you to provide this information to the Hospital because we establish a record separate from your physician's. It is particularly important that you provide a complete list of the medications you are currently taking, the dosage and the frequency.
When you arrive at the Hospital, report to the Registration Desk 15 minutes prior to your appointment time. You will be seated in a dual purpose waiting area for outpatients and pre-surgical patients.
You will then meet with a registered nurse who will ask you questions about your previous health history and medications and answer any questions you may have. It may be helpful to have a family member or caregiver with you. This is a good time to ask questions that you may have regarding your surgery and recovery. When indicated, some patients will see a social worker and anesthesia provider. Please allow 1½ to 3 hours for the entire process.
For more information on PreAdmission Care, you may call the office at (570) 522-2733. PreAdmission hours are 7 am-5 pm Monday through Friday.
