Multiple Terrorist Doctrine
By: Frank Borelli
with thanks to John Giduck
Not long ago I read through the book, "Terror At Beslan: A Russian Tragedy with Lessons for America's Schools" by John Giduck (review of the book here). The book so convinced me that we in law enforcement are training for the wrong threat (Active Shooter) that I doubted my own thought process. So, to double check my understanding, this past week I attended a presentation by John Giduck given at a conference in Washington , DC . What I found was that not only did I understand the book correctly, but the situation is worse than I actually perceived it. Understand that all of the following is provided thanks to Mr. John Giduck and his insights into the Beslan incident. I am merely reiterating his material and hope I got it all right out of my notes.
Through his presentation, Mr. Giduck explains the terrorist thought process and how the attacks / sieges they've committed have been motivated, planned and performed. Yes, I said "sieges". As Mr. Giduck explained:
There are two types of prevalent terrorist attacks -
The Decimation Assault - such as suicide bombings, drive by shootings, etc.
The Siege - otherwise known as a Mass Hostage Siege.
Recent history shows us two that were reported in the popular media: The taking of over 800 hostages at the NordOst Theater in Moscow , and the taking of over 1,200 students, teachers and parents at the school in Beslan.
As Mr. Giduck pointed out: the Beslan siege had a larger number of hostages than that of the NordOst theater. Every time the terrorists attack they have to do something bigger and better. Follow that to the logical conclusion and that means that IF or WHEN they take over a target in America , the number of hostages will HAVE to be in excess of 1,200.
Now let's take a look at the popular targets, preferred method of attack and the resultant bad news for the United States:
1) Transportation: public transit systems can be attacked to cause interuption in service. The preferred method of attack is a Decimation Assault - suicide (although I prefer the term HOMICIDE) bomber. Poison has been used in other attacks, but the end affect is still roughly the same - there are a limited number of victims and a relatively short burst of media attention.
2) Malls: although we have these in abundance in the United States , the number of terrorists required to actually take over, secure and hold a mall would be difficult to mount. Therefore, the preferred method of attack would likely be the Decimation Assault. Not that the numbers of victims would be small. Virtually any urban mall on a Saturday night is packed with potential casualties.
3) Places of Worship: bearing in mind that a number of Imams have specifically stated that places of worship are viable targets. Skip Saturday night at the mall and you can hit Sunday morning in the churches all around our country. It is not coincidental that our "heartland" is largely populated by conservative devout citizens. Again, the method of attack would most likely be a Decimation Assault simply because there are very few churches where any terrorist would have a hope of taking more than 1,200 hostages.
4) Schools: Here is the bad news. We have schools in abundance. A great many high schools, and even plenty of our junior high / middle schools have student counts in excess of 1,200. I went to a private high school and even it had a student count near 1,000. Add in teachers and staff and how quick can you reach 1,200 or more? Now let's make it even scarier. We all know how the country reacted to two students killing thirteen people at Columbine. Those were high school students and a teacher. All of them were at least fourteen years old. Look at what the reaction was. Now imagine what it would have been had that been an elementary school and that those thirteen dead had been children under the age of ten. At Beslan, the terrorists had, as their hostages, babies still in diapers and children of all ages.
Now consider this: Al Queda trains to hit four targets at once. Why? As Mr. Giduck explains, because even terrorists understand Murphy's Law: what can go wrong will. If they plan and attempt to execute four simultaneous attacks, they expect at least two to move forward. If only ONE does and they get the kind of media attention they crave, then they've succeeded in part of their goal.
Now, before I attended Mr. Giduck's presentation, I would have assumed that there was simply no way that 49 or 50 terrorists could infiltrate the United States , secure weapons, plan the attack(s) and execute them. If you look at the recent news reports you can find - on any given day - reports on how many illegal immigrants are flowing into our country. How many of them could be terrorists? Potentially worse yet, how many terrorists are applying for political asylum from any country and getting temporary or permanent visas? We already know that they know how to get student and visitor visas. Still, how realistic is it to expect that 49 terrorists (the number that took Beslan school) will attack a single American school?
Let's take a look at a relatively small number: 15. Even using as an example only fifteen terrorists taking over a school, the challenges we face are immediate and daunting.
First, let's consider this: who is responsible for responding? Who will negotiate? Who will assault? Do any of our current tactical protocols effectively address the situation? I will answer these in that order.

text: As a soon-to-become small back yard bee keeper, I am wondering if small, widely dispersed colonies might do better than the large industrial colonies. I am willing to go to extraordinary steps to try to keep them safe. I wonder about medication vs no-medication, moving the colony inside my outbuilding to protect from extreme temperatures, supplemental feeding, ... Will bees become an endangered species? The only consolation if they are endangered, is that humans, who likely caused the problem, will follow closely behind!

Hi Lucy,
My name is Clara, age 38 and live in Roma.
In 1991 I took Cambridge Proficiency with pass level C. Now the The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages puts my position as Cambridge CAE (not CPE) that means CEF level C1.
I have NO experience in teaching English, and I would like to start now. I see that private language schools in Italy ask for TEFL as necessary requirement.
My questions are:
1- Can I be admitted to a TEFL course NOW or do I need before to submit again for Proficiency, with pass level A or B in order to become CEF level C2?
2- It seems there is only one TEFL course in Roma, and after a short interview they decided that as I'm non-native speaker I can follow their TEFL course but without getting TEFL certificate at the end, they would give me ACE certificate of Manchester University instead. I never heard of it and I would like to know if you ever did.
3- What's the difference between TEFL and CELTA when looking for a job in a private school? Can CELTA be considered a valid substitute where TEFL is required?
4- Can you give me tips for finding a good TEFL course in Great Britain?
Thanks a lot for your kind reply.

I'm teaching a course on the structure of English to trainee English teachers in the Maldives.
We have been discussing stative verbs and how, in standard English, they are not usually found in the progressive tenses (i.e. We don't normally say 'I'm knowing the answer').
We have also realised that using stative verbs in the progressive is much more acceptable in Indian English and consequently also in Maldivian English. My students were very surprised to learn that in British English we don't normally say 'I'm having a headache' or 'I'm understanding the problem'.
However, we were then discussing writing postcards and how we quite often might write 'I'm having a wonderful time' - and the students asked why is 'having a wonderful time' acceptable but 'having a headache' problematic.
I don't know why! Any ideas?

I never hear this car talked about, but everything I read puts it right in the class of the MS3, WRX, and Focus ST performance wise. The interior isn't great but it does have AWD. I always forget they even exist until I see one.
They also start like $1000 cheaper than the WRX in Canada and have 0% over 72 months. One review called it 90% of an Evo for 75% of the price.
I remember a few years ago the Ralliart package was just badging but the 09+ seems pretty interesting. I consider them almost sleepers because there is barely anything visual to tell them apart from a upper level regular Lancer other than the badging on the outside.
What says TCL?

If your file won't play and the TV reports "Invalid file", the thumbnail is not created instead a one with a warning arrow, then your TV won't eat the file.
The problem is likely one of these issues:
1. unsupported format (check the supported list, e.g. LG)
- especially note the restriction of 30 fps for FullHD
- video codecs are usually divx and h264 (up to profile 4.1), no GMC
- audio codecs are usually mp3, ac3, aac.
2. Badly muxed file
3. Mkv with header compression
It does not matter what the file really has, the TV only checks the header and then won't even try to open it.
In case the file is really not supported there's nothing you can do but reencode. This should make any file playable:
ffmpeg -i Oldfile.mp4 -vcodec libx264 -vpre normal -r 25 -crf 23 -ab 384k -acodec ac3 Working.mkv
So in some cases (2.) the fix is as easy and fast as:
mkvmerve -o Newfile.mkv Nonworkingfile.mp4.
In case the header just has a wrong, too high, frame rate (2.), adjust -r 25 to the correct framerate (e.g. 24, 25, 30), then use this:
ffmpeg -r 25 -i Oldfile.mp4 -r 25 -vcodec copy -acodec copy Working.mkv
In case of header compression (3.) you need to add:
mkvmerve --compression -1:none -o Newfile.mkv Nonworkingfile.mp4.
Extra tip: Only encode a few seconds in each variant, then cancel, then try to play the files and just completely transform the file with the method that works.

An exciting year ahead for Cleveland schools
(Cleveland) Monday was a great first day of the 2013-2014 school year for several reasons. Schools CEO Eric Gordon says the passage of the 15-mill levy last November kicked off many exciting things for the district. Gordon says unlike the past several years this year teachers are being hired, and class sizes are being reduced. The district also no longer has the threat of lay-offs, shortened school days or other budget cuts.
Gordon says everything ran smoothly on Monday. Busses were mostly running on time aside for a few minor problems which he says is normal. Food service went fine, safety and security went fine, and the enrollment hotlines were up and running.
There is a lot of optimism across the community about the district since the levy passed and Mayor Frank Jackson's sweeping school improvement plan was implemented.
The Cleveland Police are working with school leaders to help keep the district safe. Gordon says every year the police partner with several agencies to release the booklet that details their strategies for keeping students safe. The 2013-2014 Cleveland School Safety Plan was released on Monday.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
My first task will be to get the very most I can out of this gun and then determine the next step. So far I have made a massive improvement with Rays advice. I do need a new compressor though so maybe a small detail gun will be in the future. No worries, some more trial and error and feedback for you good people and I am confident my needs will be meet.
|69 widetrack
LOL...Don't think it was me that told "Old Fool" how to set up a paint gun this way 30 years ago...I don't think I was a Rep yet and it would have been CIL for me...damn I'm getting old too.
As far a PPG Reps go...they are like anything else, I've seen good ones and bad ones...They are a lot like the paint they represent and how the paint turns out after it's applied....we only remember the really good and the really bad, nobody ever says, do you remember that average paint job, they sure don't remember that average paint rep either...LOL
(Oh, "Old Fool", I will have that information/schematics you asked about in about 2 weeks if you still need it).
Now see that.......PPG reps ARE good for something ....well,at least they used to be anyways.....
Maybe it was Ray that showed you ....he's one of the good ones ...

Thanks Kelly, turning the air cap 1/4 turn will give you as much information on gun set up, as having the pattern up and down...a flat pattern will tell you exactly where the problem is by watching the runs, if your thick in the middle, you need more air or less fluid, if your thick on the ends, more fluid or less air...for fine tuning, this is a valuable technique for gun adjustment.
By doing this, especially on those pesky light colored metallic's, your taking another part of the tiger stripping problem out of the equation.
I sincerely suggest this method for gun set up, many people just listen and after a while know their equipment, assume that everything is clean, when we have all had experience with that little piece of dried whatever stuck in your gun causing a problem with the way the gun sprays or when you run into that color where no matter what you do, the color stripes..this procedure can most times solve that problem when understanding what happens to a spray pattern under different conditions.
I really hope that this will help, for me it was a little thing I do religiously, 95 times out of 100, the pattern is fine...for the 5 times out of 100, it helps analyze the problem much quicker when you understand how different things effect pattern, both horizontally and vertically...just another piece of information I'm happy to pass on.
All the best.
That's a nifty little trick there Ray. I'll have to file that one some where for future reference, I never would have thought to turn the cap sideways.....

Mike, I told him to turn the air cap and spray on the masking paper until it runs...that way he can tell if the fluid is heavy on the ends or the center and what adjustments to make, either more air if it's heavy in the middle or less fluid and so on...it just gives you a better idea for setting up a paint gun than just the up and down pattern.
|First ,your pattern needs to be vertical (up and down) you'll never be able to paint a car with a horizontal pattern....Turn the air cap ....
|Are you spraying with what I refer to as a Kirby? Pretty much a high powered vacuum but being used as a blower? I've known one person to use one of them and he turned out some killer work but it was always colorsanded and buffed, nothing slick right off the gun. Overspray was minimal though, way better than with my HVLP or RP guns.
strange - the pics are not showing up for me here on my computer at work. Seems like you were able to see them though. The unit is a Fuji Q4, a 4 stage turbine. It is the most powerful one they have and the one they recommend for shooting heavier paint like latex. I used a 1.4 tip. I looked it up again and I'll correct my prior report in that they report the pressure at the cap is 8.5 PSI. The only way to get more would be too remove the air valve from the hose. I doubt it causes much restriction but it might be worth taking it out anyway.
I should have kept better notes, but it was hard to do with all that gear on. I recall you saying that a really thin fluid will have a pattern heavier on the ends and lighter in the middle (I think that's what you said....). So I tried to lower the fluid output never was able to get it to spray heavier on the ends of the pattern. If I recall correctly I closed down enough that I started to lose fan width and then it was spraying really dry. Looks like I'll be buying some more cheap paint and doing some more testing. Since it won't be finish work I can just use the respirator and spray outside.
What do you mean by the pattern looks "flat"? Flat in what respect? (edit) sorry, just re-read, you said "fat". It should be thinner? The pattern I think was about 1.5 to maybe 2 inches tall when it hit the cardboard. I just sprayed a bit to get it to really drip so it spread. That silver patch in the last pic is probably the most accurate.
|69 widetrack
And we are back. Overall, it appears as though the center is heavier than the ends. You mentioned on a previous thread that you where using a "turbo" gun if I'm correct and that your maximum pressure is 8 to 10 pounds at the gun. You also mentioned that you couldn't raise your pressure, so I need to ask a question and perhaps you have given me the information but...what size of compressor are you using.
At first glance of your spray pattern it looks as though you need more air...or less material being put through the gun. The pattern seems a little "fat" as well, more pressure could even out the center. Also remember that the gauge you have may not be completely accurate and the 8 to 10 pounds is a guideline more than a hard and fast rule. More pressure or less fluid and practicing technique will help reduce Orange Peel
Clear coat....Clear coat does like to breathe at least for 6 months depending on temperature, I wouldn't stack the panels for some time now. Clear coat can be repaired anytime after it has cured, for example, repairs are done on vehicles that are 10 years old or older, the repair works fine as long as the clear makes for a good substrate. Clear coat like anything. deteriorates over time, harsh sunlight (UV's) can deteriorate clear as well as salt or other abrasives that come in contact with clear coat...even just daily use over time will effect the integrity of clear coat.
You've waited for a bout a week, the clear should be set up enough to do a repair. Clear can be polished anytime after it has set up. The longer you wait after set up, often the harder it is to cut and buff clear...also the brand of clear you use has a bearing on polishability. We can discuss products at another time if you like...but...the quality of the product has a direct bearing on how the product polishes. Some clears are actually designed to be polished.
Hope this helps...keep the questions coming and I will answer to the best of my ability.
Newbie follies (part 2) - please help me learn from my mistakes
Okay – so now the project is "sprayed" and it's been about 4 days since the clear was shot. I got much better results (thanks to your input Ray). That said, I still had some issues and of course that raised more questions!
Rather than throw a whole bunch of questions out there at one time maybe I'll start with one mini topic at a time so we can hash it out and move on to the next. In brief there are two main topics. They may of course be related in some ways or not. Dust removal, sag removal, and general clear coat optimization after spraying. Then gun set-up gun problems, spray technique and of course the possible causes of orange peel.
First question(s): just so I can clarify. I shot some 12x16 inch panels and these will be stored for future use. What time constraints do I have with regards to the clear coat "curing"? Specifically, can I stack these on top of another within 48-72 hours or is there a time period where they need to have an air-space to cure? Also related, is there a time period where I need to address the flaws in the clear coat or can I get to it "sometime" down the road? Messing with the clear coat will probably be done on the first engine cover (the side that didn't get messed up) and it is at about 7 days now (it'll make a good practice piece for wet sanding or buffing).
Maybe based on your (clear coat time frame) answer we'll have to get back to the clear coat repair topic first. However, what bothers me is the way the clear laid down but I'll get back to that. I want to talk about that horizontal spray test pattern. It seems to me the right side was a little light. Maybe I am over reading this. Is this normal (see spray patterns below)? If not, what would cause it, how can I fix it, and is there a way to test it without having to setup my spray booth, don respirators, and then mix and spray the same paint again?
Clear test pattern
Silver: top fluid held back. It made the fan smaller and clumped it up in the middle. So I opened up the fluid and tweaked best I could.
Misc other patterns: I sprayed black first so it had the most tests. I hoped for the black and silver it would be the same but one was metallic and the other not so it did change things.

"I have recently entered SecondLife, out of curiosity of this new medium. Many people consider it nothing more than a 3D chatting/dating environment. IBM is not even taking communities on dW seriously, such as the discussion forum community. Why should IBM then be interested in this 3D virtual world of chatting/dating? Graphics are far less then the (2D) websites, information is much harder to publish or to find. Everybody is already hating spam mails and ads on websites. What does make SL so special for IBM??? Or are we going to sit (our avatar) in virtual classrooms or meeting rooms? Why not simply use IM (instant messaging, like Sametime), netmeeting, webcams, Skype, phones and other real-life interaction/communication mediums."
This is only my dime-store psychology at work: I think one big advantage over SL is that it takes into account that most humans are visual animals. If you can see something moving around and doing things, then it is probably "real". However, when it's a post left by someone that doesn't give an indication of who that person is, what else they are doing, etc., it is much more easy to ignore them.
When just read the information on a community site and ignore the actual person who writes it (happens very often), it becomes only a piece of data, and you evaluate it in terms of the value of the data, rather than the value of the person. Unless you are a frequent reader of that site, you may not pick up on names; people tend to ignore or forget names unless something really sticks out about the person, and online with aliases, nicknames, etc. it is easier to ignore them. The first impression is that you may not know who this person is; if you have an opinion about them, you still don't really know what others think about them. Unless you really spend the time (very rare) to get to know a specific person, you essentially take the interaction for the face worth of the data they provide.
What I'm talking about here is the underlying social capital of trust. It is more difficult to trust an unknown source especially with little background, little peripheral knowledge around that person, limited ways of finding out what else they know or have contributed, little understanding of their relationships with others, limited or disjointed contact with the person, etc. This overall potential but disjointed relationship is hampered by the fact that most online community services are not live. This also sort of explains why some live services are even more successful: instant messaging, online chatrooms, MMOGs, videoconferencing, and secondlife.
Of course, when I say "live" in the online world, I mean it only in thecontext of direct communication within a given session rather thannecessarily an actual face-to-face. With a live service, you can (or at least attempt to) directly communicate with the other person, rather than build up a relationship through separate deferred messages back and forth via email, postings, comments, etc. The more live you get the better your chances for building a connection with the other person and probably faster too.
On the other hand, most people do not have the time to build many relationships and a live meeting takes up direct individual time, and will probably require a number of sessions before such communication becomes any form of a relationship. This is the classic battle between the need to develop relationships and the need to preserve our own time. It's also why deferred communications through postings, etc., counts as the next best thing. And hence we start with basic communication services like discussion forums (focused purely on deferred messages to a group).
What is needed however, is to try to flesh out the deferred interactions, or bring in more aspects of "live-ness". A step up is a blog, which is still deferred but may give you agreater understading about the person (blogger) based on their thoughtsand writings. To get more information about the person, they should have a profile that describes their background. Another direction is a wiki: while deferred, it allows people to change the content in a pseudo-live way, rewriting each others material as they care to. Another really helpful tool is a peer-to-peer rating system, so you can understand what people think of the person's contribution in their various engagements around the community. Finally, having actual live online services that they can attend on occassion or on demand, fills it out.
All these combine to give a once anonymous other person, a greater depth and personality, and a basis to consider whether this person, not just their knowledge, is worth making a connection with.
I'm not sure I answered Franks question, but this "live-ness" is part of it. Add on top of it, the ability to create, and enrich the environment with more tools and "feathering" to make it an appealing environment to communicate, gives Secondlife a much greater depth in terms of community building.
But, what Frank points out, and what I indicated about time-restrictions of live activities, remains true. Most information is and probably will always be in text. So, no matter how fancy a visual environment you have, without text content, it may lack sufficient information to learn from others. In other words, secondlife may never truly replace the web, since deferred communications ("do it on my time, not yours") and text ("easy to create info") is still the primary choice.
Sorry to say to all those who dream of living in the Matrix, but when it comes to gathering information, you'll still need the realm of text (until we evolve enough to dispose of text entirely). You can talk to people, and interact as much as you want, but the most common way may still be in reading the information.

As our 7th year anniversary draws closer, and it comes to this time of year, I tend to think about how many new people we have here in our community who never had an opportunity to meet some of the people who helped build and strengthen the community they now enjoy. In this hobby, we all ride upon the shoulders of those who came before us in one way or another and I thought I would just take a moment to mention a few of those who made a pretty significant impact on TDH but who, for one reason or another, have moved on with their lives and are no longer active here at TDH. I applaud these guys and girls as well as all of those old timers who are still here for helping make this community what it is today.
TK1028 - Chris S. Chris named this community... as a joke. We were originally called "As You Wish" and he threw out "the dented helmet" in exasperation when we couldn't find an appropriate name, and it stuck. Chris also helped support a lot of the inital groundwork and rules for TDH.
Dustincropsboy - Dallas P - Dallas created the initial look and feel of TDH and while it has changed over the years, his influence has never left. He also helped make TDH a known entity with tons of swag, from shirts, to calendars, to hand puppets. He also created TDH's first logo, a Charlie's angels inspired silhoette featuring Jango, Boba and Zam. Dallas also flew all the way to Australia where the Zam costume was first displayed at an exhibit to take some amazing reference for Zam fans.
Pricess Nikidala/M-pire - Niki B/Cliff W - These two gave us a home, a software platform, and technical support when we had none. TDH was originally an EZ-Board group, plagued with popups, popunders, and pop-sideways... They moved us off that platform and onto something new and more stable. They helped us shift from a fly-by-night operation to a legitimate entity.
Hammerhead - Andy J - Andy was one of our early moderators who took the best reference we had to date at Celebration two and made it available for all who wanted it.
Bobafettish - Chris C - Chris was another of our early moderators, who really helped set the tone for TDH as a forum that did not put up with rulebreakers. Chris read EVERY post for years and also set a gold standard with his Boba Fett costume, that was the pinnacle of accuracy for a long, long time.
Tylerdurden - Dan C - While Dan does poke his head in here from time to time, he is here so rarely that I thought I would include him. In regard to infrastructure, there has been no other individual who has given more to TDH. I can't even begin to tell you how many hours and how many late nights Dan spent creating the underpinning for the board we all know and love today.
Rogue Studios - Lee M - Like Dan, Lee is still around, but so little that I wanted to include him. Lee set a new standard in paint for the Fett helmet that issued in a new era of painting accuracy. He really helped raise the bar and went on to paint the prototype masters for the MR Fett helmet. Lee has also been involved in tons of other research that has netted some major discoveries for TDH.
Boba Goat - Jason G - Jason was the life of the party and really helped to establish the community feel that is somewhat unique to TDH and present to this day. He was a blast to be around and absolutely unforgettable.
Secolfett - Like Bobagoat, Secol really helped create a community and family atmosphere here at TDH and then, one day, out of the blue, he stunned us all by positively IDing the cheek greeblie as a borden connector!
Natty15d - Nathan D - Nathan set a new standard for helmets with his MSH1 and really helped set off a revolution. Not only that, but along with Chris King, he took some of the first extensive photos at the AoSW exhibit of the ESB hero helmet that everyone loves.
These are but a few of the giants upon whose backs we stand. I raise a glass to them and thank them for all they have done for us and while their deeds mostly go unsung, here is one small thread to acknowledge their efforts and to show them appreciation.
If you can think of anyone who at one time made a significant contribution to this board but is no longer here, please feel free to add them here.

Beaches of Molokai
Molokai offers a handful of beautiful beaches. For those longing to get away from it all, Molokai's white sand beaches offer amazing unspoiled beauty, seclusion and romance. Discover Molokai's beaches below:
Central Molokai Beaches:
One Alii Beach Park: This favorite of Hawaiian alii (royalty), just east of Kaunakakai has picnic facilities, restrooms and parking so it's a great place for a day in the sun with friends and family.
Kiowea Beach Park: Although not an ideal spot for swimming, Kiowea Beach Park is just east of the Kapuaiwa Coconut Grove and is another great picnic spot as well as an excellent place to watch the sunset.
West Molokai Beaches:
Papohaku Beach Park: At three miles long and one mile wide, this is one of Hawaii's largest white sand beaches. There are restrooms but no showers or lifeguards. Great for sunbathing, use extreme caution when swimming during high surf, especially during the winter months.
Kapukahehu Beach (Dixie Maru Beach): This small sheltered cove is great for swimming. Again be cautious during high surf, especially in the winter months. This is also a fantastic spot to watch the sunset. Note there are no facilities here.
East Molokai Beaches:
Kumimi Beach Park (20 Mile Beach): Also sometimes called Murphy Beach, this is fantastic snorkeling spot. Note that there are no restrooms here. Use extreme caution during high surf. You can find this beach at Mile Marker 20, which is why it's also called "20 Mile Beach."
Halawa Beach Park: As you approach Halawa Valley, Halawa Beach Park offers a secluded bay that is great for swimming, however exercise caution during the high surf of the winter months. Picnic and restroom facilities are available.
Note: Heed all warning signs and be aware of changing conditions, strong currents and reefs. Use your own best judgment to determine whether a particular beach is appropriate for you and your ability level.

That's okay, I didn't remember Hung and his geoduck either. But Brian Wolly, our associate web editor, did. And he recently had the good fortune to meet the famous chef and watch him in action. The menu? I bet you can guess. Here's Brian's report, and you can watch the video of Hung's cooking demonstration in the video above:
"We met up with Hung Huynh of Top Chef fame at the Oak Bar at the luxurious Plaza Hotel at 59th and 5th Avenue. It was tres swanky. I knew from the moment I heard we were running our piece on geoducks that we had to film a segment with Hung. On the first episode of Top Chef Season 3, he was given the choice of a wide variety of unusual ingredients. He went straight for the geoduck, and because of his runaway success with the dish, the shellfish was seared into the memory of many Top Chef fans.Also on Smithsonian.com this month, you can read about geoduck harvesting in the Pacific Northwest, and check out Surprising Science blogger Sarah Zielinski's piece on
We arranged to film this past Thursday, and it was great fun to not only be in such a nice kitchen, but to see Hung hamming it up for the camera. I tried to get him to talk about the previous night's (disappointing, in my view) finale of Top Chef Season 5, but like a true diplomat, he remained mum. So thanks to Hung and the chefs at the Oak Bar for letting us poach their time...it was a pleasure."

Thanks for all the information on the holster issue. I read on blog on this site that a new Pro2022 owner had a holster he had for his old Springfield XD9 4" barrel and stated that it fit just "fine".
I took a chance and ordered a Paddle Holster model 85PL, I like the leather loops that snap around the belt from A.E. Nelson Leather Company(they do not make a holster for the Pro2022) ordering the holster with the Springfield XD9 4" barrel specs w/accessory rail.
Four weeks after I order(holster made when ordered) the holster was shipped to me and guess what, a little tight as with a new leather holster, but it fit like it was made for this pistol.
If interested their site is www.nelsonleather.com

The North Carolina men prevailed with balance for comfortable wins in both meets. Overall, South Carolina won six events and the Tar Heels and the Aggies each won five events. The Tar Heel men loaded up on second and third place finishes against both opponents to emerge with the victory.
Individual event winners for Coach Rich DeSelm's men included senior captain Brett Nagle in the 1000-yard freestyle, freshman Nic Graesser in the 100-yard backstroke, sophomore transfer David Speese in the 100-yard breaststroke and sophomore Patrick Myers in the 200-yard backstroke.
The most exciting victory of the day for the UNC men came in the 400-yard freestyle relay where freshmen Logan Heck, Sean Sullivan and Sam Lewis and an anchor leg by junior J.T. Stilley won in a time of 3:02.04, just one one-hundredth of a second ahead of second-place South Carolina.
Carolina has four individual event winners on the women's side as junior NCAA champion Stephanie Peacock swept the two distance events - the 500-yard and 1000-yard freestyles - and sophomore standout Danielle Siverling took another two freestyle events at 100 and 200 yards. Texas A&M won 11 of the 16 events with South Carolina winning in one-meter diving.
The UNC women will return to action next weekend in the prestigious Dallas Classic at Southern Methodist University. The meet will be held Friday and Saturday nights. After their impressive opening meet, the Tar Heel men will resume dual meet action against Virginia Tech on Friday, October 26 at Koury Natatorium in a coed meet and the Tar Heels' home opener. That meet begins at 5 p.m.
"In our first dual meet of the season we traveled to South Carolina and swam South Carolina and Texas A&M and it was overall a very good day. We have been eager to start the season officially. We have a lot of freshmen and did not know fully what to expect coming in and we walk away from this meet very pleased.
"On the men's, we had 11 freshmen and transfers score in the overall top five of the meet in at least one event. That is almost half of the travel squad, a group which had never competed for UNC prior to today. It's nice to see them be able to step up against two SEC schools. At the same time, it shows how young we are. We feel fortunate to get two victories on the men's side today. Most importantly, we learned a whole lot on what we need to focus on in practice. We've had training for a long time and a couple of scrimmages. A dual meet helps us identify what we are doing well and what we need to work on.
"On the women's side we had six new people in top five scoring positions. We had four overall winners as Stephanie Peacock and Danielle Siverling both won a pair of events. Stephanie is coming off a great year. She managed herself very well in this meet and those are very good preseason times. Some of our most impressive swims were in the 200-yard freestyle with Siverling putting up a really good time for this time of the year. Lauren Earp's first swim was very fine as well.
"We had three Canadian in their first college meets and that was an exciting experience for them. We had a lot of parents in the stands and a great Carolina fanbase cheering us on. Also, we want to congratulate freshman Ozzie Moyer earned his zone qualifying score on the three-meter board in his first college meet."

US Attorney writes to White Center on long list of convictions in 2011 raid
Operation Center of Attention results in 21 federal prison sentences so far
United States Attorney Jenny Durkan provided the following update to White Center residents on Jan. 18 on the aftermath of Operation Center of Attention, a multi-agency raid of drug and gun traffickers operating out of the White Center area in 2011.
Dear White Center Community Members:
I hope the New Year finds you well. I am writing to provide an update on the collaborative public safety efforts in the White Center area.
As you know, the multi-agency, federal and local law enforcement operation, called "Center of Attention," that ended in late October 2011, focused on violent offenders who used White Center to engage in criminal activity. The King County Prosecutor's Office and the U.S. Attorney's Office have been working hard with our law enforcement partners to bring those offenders to justice.
Among the 25 federal defendants, nearly all have now been convicted and sentenced. Two dozen have pleaded guilty or were convicted at trial, including the successful prosecution of an armed career criminal just before the end of the year. That defendant, Michael Gradney, faces a 15-year mandatory minimum sentence.
To date, 21 defendants have been sentenced to prison, including significant prison time for defendants selling large amounts of dangerous drugs and firearms. In fact, the total amount of prison time that judges have imposed on the federal Center of Attention defendants is nearly 1400 months, or 115 years.
Here are two of the press releases announcing significant sentences:
Of the 26 state prosecutions, some have resulted in guilty findings while many are still pending. State prosecutors are pursuing convictions and sentences in line with the goals of "Center of Attention."
In addition to "Center of Attention" defendants, the owner of the former G.A.M.E. marijuana lounge pleaded guilty to a federal felony and was sentenced to six months of federal probation. Federal probation is very rigorous, with close supervision by a federal probation officer and the possibility of prison time for up to three years if the defendant does not follow the probationary conditions. Judge Ricardo Martinez indicated he would be watching very closely to ensure the owner of G.A.M.E. did not violate any conditions of his probation.
And, just last week, as part of our ongoing enforcement efforts, prosecutors in our office convicted a man who committed an armed robbery of the Chase bank located at SW 100th Street and 16th Avenue.
I continue to hear about positive, proactive policing and a high level of responsiveness from the King County Sheriff's Office and Seattle Police Department. You have great support from your elected officials, including County Executive Dow Constantine and Councilmember Joe McDermott, Sheriff John Urquhart (and his predecessor Steve Strachan), and Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg.
I am pleased to see new businesses in place in the heart of the commercial corridor. I also am aware that there is still work to do, and I remain committed to working with you to address public safety concerns in the area.
I am constantly impressed by the number of engaged residents who care deeply about the future of White Center. White Center is an incredibly vibrant and active community, and all of us – including area residents, local business owners, non-profits, educators, government agencies, faith leaders, elected officials, law enforcement officers, and prosecutors – have a stake in its success.
I look forward to continuing our work together in the New Year.
Jenny A. Durkan
United States Attorney

I don't know how many bought a set of armor from Matson (he's a friend of Webcheif's). There was some discussion about Matson's knees being too big. I had those and yes, they were big. Well, I'd always felt Matson's armor was big on me, and I'm pretty average sized 5'11" but I never had any other armor for comparison until recently when I got a set of MLC armor (Thanks VashDStampede!)
Well, the difference is dramatic. Matson's armor must have been proportioned for the Big-and-Tall Fett (not that there's anything wrong with that), but for accuracy, I like the MLC armor so far. Here's a couple photos. Look how it completely covers the chest without any space around the pieces. Not only that, his shoulders, knees, chest armor and collar are all oversized as well. Then, ironically, the codpiece was extremely UNDERsized.
Mardon did an awesome job on the MLC armor. I was shocked when I got his thinking "Honey, I shrunk the armor!" But I now realize his is more accurately sized. Nice work Mardon! :D

I was wondering if anyone knew of any great websites and books that new tefl teachers could use for lesson plans, game ideas, and grammar.
Im looking at teaching a mixture of groups and one-to-one so any books that can show the various.
Any ideas that any of u might have please feel free to comment as the prospect of going out there in a real life teaching situation is daunting so any kind help would be appreciated.
Peace to all

Bottom line up front: I wanted to start this thread to share my wife's progress on her Ailyn Fett costume and collect any input/recommendations from the folks I trust most when it comes to costuming. Let me know what you've got, and I'll pass the word to her.
Ever since we booked the hotel for our first Dragon*Con next year my wife has been bitten with the cosplay bug, and while she isn't looking for anything to submit for 501st/RL approval (yet) I was surprised when she showed interest in putting together an Ailyn Vel costume. I was even more excited by the fact that come early 2014 I should be putting the final touches on my Fett. At any rate, I tried to dig around here and some other places and showed her the few pictures I could dig up.
After showing her everything I could find she came up with an idea for a somewhat modified version of the first photo. She had previously been thinking about a fem-Han Solo costume, so this wasn't too far of a leap. My only request was that she should dirty everything up and give it a classic Star Wars feel.
I was surprised when she found and bought these cargo pants for just over $20+shipping.
More to follow I'm sure...

Im starting my CELTA in a few weeks so im starting to get my head around some grammar, and this is doing my head in at the moment.
OK, here´s two sentences:
-I have lived in New York since April (past perfect)
-I have been living in New York since April (past perfect continuous)
Neither of these strikes me as being grammatically incorrect, they seem to say exactly the same thing in a virtually identical way.
In this instance is it simply the case that either will do, or is one better than the other, and if so, why?

text: I appreciate your thinking here. We all know it's easier to replace a coaching staff than a starting lineup. Pudge was cancerous on a team that had Alan Trammell as the manager, but has become a professional again under the leadership of Jim Leyland. The right leader can cause a great deal of change in players attitude and performance. Joe's smart enough not to make an emotional decision based on guys' attitudes toward a coach that's no longer here. Be careful about trading a grumpy talented player for less talent and a better attitude. Attitudes can change given the right circumstances.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
Dear TWiM Team
A fascinating article from New Scientist this week.
Standard medical teaching is that the foetus is sterile and that the microbiome only begins to develop post natal.
New research from Spain indicates that the microbiome starts to develop before birth:
"Pilar Francino and her colleagues at the University of Valencia in Spain collected and froze the meconium of babies from 20 women. They removed the outer layers of each sample to rule out any bacteria picked up after birth, then looked for bacterial DNA.
The team not only identified bacteria in the babies' meconium - which before then was thought to be sterile - they found bacterial communities so developed that they seemed to fall into two categories. Around half of the samples appeared to be dominated by bacteria that produce lactic acid, such as lactobacillus, while the other half mostly contained a family of so-called enteric bacteria, such as Escherichia coli."
Peter writes:
Dear TWiM Team
There was an interesting article in the March Scientific American on long term effect on health that food poisoning can cause:
New studies by scientists in several countries show that food poisoning rather than lasting just a few unpleasant days can in some cases cause life long problems.
Though this possibility has been known for some time the recent work indicates that this phenomenon is much more common than previously thought.
"A survey of 101,855 residents of Sweden who were made sick by food between 1997 and 2004 found Electronic Cigarette, for instance, that they had higher-than-normal rates of aortic aneurysms, ulcerative colitis and reactive arthritis."
"...several years after a 2005 outbreak of Salmonella in Spain, 65 percent of 248 victims said they had developed joint or muscle pain or stiffness, compared with 24 percent of a control group who were not affected by the outbreak."
PS I that the Scientific American journalist and author Maryn McKenna would be a good guest for TWiM or TWiV.

Hey thanks for the great podcast. TWiM is one of my new favourites. (I'm about to post a review on my blog.) I'm a little afraid to start listening to TWiP and TWiV--if I get hooked I'll never be able to keep up with all of them.
I just listened to your episode that included the paper on the autism microbiome study, and one of you said something about it being difficult to recruit controls for this kind of invasive procedure. It might make the statistics more complicated, but what about recruiting siblings of autistic kids as controls? The parents would be much more likely to be on board, as they have a vested interest in the progression of science on the problem of autism.
Thanks again,

Hello Vincent and cast of TWIM;
I have to say, even though I am a novice, I really enjoy your podcasts.
Because of the nerdy-ness and nature of this song, I thought I should pass it along. Happy St Patrick's Day! Enjoy!

Pirates, Rockies interested in Twins' Slowey
Kevin Slowey's future with the Minnesota Twins was in question from the moment he failed to make the major-league rotation coming out of spring training.
Now, it's looking more likely that he will be dealt prior to the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.
The Rockies and Pirates are among the teams showing continued interest in Slowey as he nears the conclusion of a minor-league rehabilitation assignment at Class AAA Rochester, major-league sources told FOXSports.com. Slowey has no record and a 2.45 ERA in two starts for Rochester, with his third outing set for Friday night in Buffalo.TRADES FOR DUMMIES Confused by MLB's transaction
rules? You're not alone. We
explain it all.
Slowey, 27, is currently on the disabled list with an abdominal strain, but a source said he is healthy now. He also missed a month earlier this season because of bursitis in his throwing shoulder.
Slowey is earning $2.7 million this season but hasn't found a role on the Twins' big-league roster. He has a smaller build than most right-handed pitchers, and it doesn't appear that he's well-suited for relief pitching, which involves throwing back-to-back days.
The Twins are willing to trade him to a club that would use him as a starter, as long as they receive fair value in return. If they don't deal him soon, it's possible that Slowey will simply be kept in the minors on an optional assignment.
The Blue Jays have had interest in the past, but Slowey's strike-throwing style is probably a better fit for the National League than the American League, where he has spent his entire career.
Slowey would probably welcome a trade to Pittsburgh, since he grew up in the area. The right-hander would be a good fit for the Pirates' near-term and long-term plans, since he's not due to become a free agent until after the 2013 season.
Slowey is 39-21 with a 4.43 ERA in 92 career big-league games, all but 10 as a starter.
