For Hannity, Presidental Criticism Only Stops At The Border For Bush
Fox News' Sean Hannity hosted former Republican New Hampshire Governor John Sununu to attack President Obama during his trip to Israel. But during the Bush administration, Hannity attacked progressives for criticizing the president while he was out of the country.
On his March 20 Fox show, Sean Hannity and Sununu criticized the president over his trip to Israel. Hannity claimed he was grateful for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's presence because "at least there was one adult in the room" and "one adult that understands the nature of -- the battle of -- the conflict between good and evil in our time." Hannity went on to claim that, while the leaders appeared friendly,"there's no way [Netanyahu] doesn't see through this president's b.s." Sununu added that Obama was "clumsy" in his handling of foreign policy and that Obama could not be trusted when it came to foreign policy. Hannity agreed, calling Obama "a demagogue, he lies with abandon and the media doesn't call him out on it. I don't trust him. I don't believe what he says, I think he's phony":
But in 2001, Hannity attacked then-Democratic Senator Tom Daschle of South Dakota for criticizing President George W. Bush while Bush was overseas. In August 2001, Daschle said of Bush's foreign policy leadership: "Instead of asserting our leadership, we are abdicating it. Instead of shaping international agreements to serve our interests, we have removed ourselves from a position to shape them at all." On the August 14, 2001, edition of Hannity & Colmes (accessed via Nexis), Hannity played Daschle's comments and responded by saying "when a president goes overseas, criticism stops at the border. He gets support from both sides of the aisle":
HANNITY: So are the Democrats compromising the United States position with their own rhetoric, or are these attacks valid?
Flavia, you know, this is the same Tom Daschle -- you know, we usually -- when a president goes overseas, criticism stops at the border. He gets support from both sides of the aisle. But that wasn't the case with Tom Daschle. When the president went on a recent trip to Europe, he was en route there, he made these critical remarks. And as -- as I thought Trent Lott appropriately said, Daschle needs his training wheels because certainly, he's not in a position to handle the new power he's found.

I just went through some of the sticky tutorials, and many of those seem to be missing the pictures that once were there. Is there some way for the admins to get the pics up and running once more? I know that some of the sticky's are OLD, but it would be easier to know what to build if we could actually see the pictures. If not, the sticky's aren't very helpful.
Just a thought.;)

Hey guys. Basically I'm looking for a new MMORPG to play. The only ones I've really played are Runescape and Maplestory. I really like Runescape though.
I'm looking for the following in an MMORPG:
*NOT WoW-like
(I swear 90% of every MMORPG ever released is the freakin' same I'm so mad. ):< ) Ex. Rift, GW2, Tera, WoW clones, etc.
*No Anime WoW equivalents
Ex. Aura Kingdom, Eden Eternal, Fiesta, etc.
*Medium - High graphics and playerbase
*Free to play (preferably)
*Unique features
Unique features like player-based economy. Something like Archeage is doing with trade. Caravans, trade ships, house building, combo combat system, anything that is not cliche and found in every WoW like game will do for "unique."
Thank you in advance guys.
P.S. (Little rant)
Why is every mmorpg released now exactly the same? All the UI are exactly the same. Enemy in top left hand corner, skills and hp on middle bottom. Ugh it just disgusts me. It's not just the UI but the pointless quests where it's literally kill x monsters with no story at all! But all that would be bearable if the games had something DIFFERENT about them. Ex. Traveling in caravans, trade ships, guild owned towns -- I don't know, something, anything!

Volvo XC70
The Volvo XC70 is a jack of all trades and master of none. …
For all its space, practicality and versatility it's the way the Mondeo drives that sets it apart from rivals. It hides its size well through an almost perfect blend of supple, well-controlled ride and crisp handling, topped off by great feel through the controls. Wind noise at speed is the only disappointment.
In terms of everyday usability, it's up with the very best. With reach and rake adjustment on the steering wheel, as well as height adjustment on the driver's seat, the driving position is spot-on for people of all shapes and sizes. And, thanks to the wide cabin and generous head- and legroom in the back, you can get five adults inside in comfort.
On all models, a split-fold rear seat and spacious boot give it top marks for practicality. However, for outright versatility, you'll be better off with a hatchback than this saloon.
Equipment levels are generous, even on the most basic models, and build quality is also excellent.

text: I think I've decided to do all my damage topically for my fett, but before I go that route I had a few questions about the yellow damage on the chest/collar plate. Is reefer yellow the color used underneath or is it something like yellow zinc chromate? I can always do layered with a generic yellow spray, but I was curious to see what was closest.

No. 21 Softball Drops Midweek Showdown with Iowa
March 20, 2013
UK-Iowa Box Score | UK-Iowa Box Score (PDF) | Photo Gallery
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The University of Iowa softball team scored a run in both the first and second innings to grab ahold of a lead it would not relinquish, defeating the No. 21 University of Kentucky softball team 3-1 in a midweek non-conference game on Wednesday at the UK Softball Complex.
Kentucky (20-8) will return to action this weekend when it plays host to a three-game Southeastern Conference series with Mississippi State at the UK Softball Complex. The series will begin Friday night at 6 p.m. ET before 1 p.m. ET start times Saturday and Sunday. Sunday's game will be televised live on Fox Sports South as part of the SEC regional TV package. Check local listings for channel information.
Admission to all three games is free of charge due to the continued construction of the new UK Softball Complex. The new stadium is nearly completed, but until construction in the seating areas is fully complete, admission to games will be free of charge. Fans can contact the UK Ticket Office with any questions prior to attending a game at 1-800-928-2287.
Fans attending games this weekend will have countless promotions to get involved with starting Friday as the first 100 fans in the stadium will a free package of UK softball trading cards. Fans will also be able to register to win a free Nike FuelBand on Friday. Saturday and Sunday will be Little League Day at the complex as all little league coaches and players are invited to wear their team uniforms. The entire UK team will also sign autographs following the games on Saturday and Sunday.
True freshman pitcher Katie Henderson received the loss in the game after throwing two innings, allowing three hits, two runs – both earned – with two strikeouts. The loss is the first of the season for Henderson, who is now 2-1 with a 1.00 earned-run average. Henderson was replaced in the top of the third inning by fellow freshman Kelsey Nunley, who threw the final five innings of the game, allowing one earned run on four hits with five strikeouts.
Senior Alice O'Brien recorded the only RBI of the game for Kentucky with her run-scoring single in the fourth inning. Freshmen Sylver Samuel and Ansley Smith each had a hit in the game, while sophomore catcher Griffin Joiner was 1-for-2. Freshman Darington Richardson scored the only UK run after pinch running for Joiner in the fourth inning.
Iowa (19-8) scored single runs in the first, second and seventh innings to earn the win. Iowa pitcher Kayla Massey earned the winning decision, throwing a solid seven innings, allowing only four hits and one earned run. Shortstop Meagan Blank went 2-for-4 in the game with two RBI, while third baseman Michelle Zoeller was 2-for-3 with a run scored. Massey went 1-for-4 at the plate on top of her strong pitching performance, while leftfielder Ashley Akers was 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored.
Iowa, who is receiving votes in both the ESPN.com/USA Softball Top 25 and USA Today/National Fastpitch Coaches Association Top 25, has won five of their last seven games, including a win over No. 11 Louisville earlier this week.
This was the third-ever meeting between Kentucky and Iowa in softball with Iowa now owning a 2-1 lead in the series. UK lost to Iowa in the first meeting in 1997 in Bloomington, Ind., before defeating the Hawkeyes in Iowa City, Iowa in 2003. This was the first meeting in Lexington.
Kentucky will play host to the SEC Tournament this season for the first time in school history. The event, which is considered one of the most prestigious softball tournaments in the nation, will be May 8-11 in Lexington. The championship game will be featured on ESPN2, while all other games will be shown on ESPNU.

Waltzes, a ball, flowing champagne, and a delectably tipsy Viennese romantic comedy. With so much merriment, one can hardly discern the quiet disintegration of the old European order. That's Johann Strauss II's perennially popular, Die Fledermaus, which NEC Opera presents with an all student cast and orchestra conducted by Stephen Lord and directed by Joshua Major.
Purchase tickets for your choice of dates:
Sat April 19 at 8:00pm
Sun April 20 at 7:00pm
Mon April 21 at 7:30pm
Tue April 22 at 7:30pm
Read Helen Greenwald's notes on Die Fledermaus.
Major, who will set the production in the period of 1910, believes that Fledermaus has too often been performed as if it were farce. It is, he says, a domestic comedy of deception and hypocrisy rather than a series of slapstick scenes and one-liners. It is very sophisticated and elegant, he adds, and it hints at the class structure breaking down. All of it is sung to the irresistible music of "the waltz king," Johann Strauss II.
Two casts of singers will alternate performances.
The singers tonight are:
Rosalinda: Suzanne Grogan
Adele: Soyoung Park
Orlovsky: Gillian Cotter
Ida: Aurora Martin
Eisenstein: Junhan Choi
Falke: Josh Quinn
Franke: David Lee
Blind: Patrick Shelton
Alfred: Marco Jordao

text: Our streak over the Nuggets isn't just in Detroit. We have won 7 straight overall against them and 16-2 in the last 18 against Denver. Billups... 0-3 against his former team. I thought Stuckey really defended Billups well on that last possession. He closed off his air space, making it nearly impossible for him to get off a 3 (which he wanted to) and forced him to drive left, which as you pointed out, is not a strength of his. One has to wonder why the Nuggets didn't run that last play for Carmelo. We had no answer for him all night and he has one of the highest(if not the highest) % on game winning shot attempts. That's a head scratcher.

First of all, and am sure you'll quickly tell that my grammar is severally lacking...I have not been In school well over 10 years. So you might ask, why would you want to teach English?
well I had a chance to teach a few months when I was traveling/living in Mexico, and I loved it...I had no idea what i was doing, but it was a pretty simple gig, mainly doing conversational work.
Well here I am ready to travel again, but this time am going to get proper training, and while I know the CELTA is the best one, and getting it randomly online would be the worst...am looking at a few in house locations, while I know the standard is 4 weeks 120ish hours.
I Know I could not handle a CELTA right now.
I did manage to find Teachers Latin America that offers a 2 week in house course, that seems perfect for the investment I would like to put in as starting out...
last question: Between this two week course and lets say a year of teaching experience , how hard would It be to find a teaching job later on in lets say, China or Thailand ? I would accept entry level jobs.

Dillon: Public invited to comment on 2013 budget at council meeting tonight
November 5, 2012
The Dillon Town Council will hold its first November meeting tonight. The 2013 budget will be presented, with opportunity for public comment. The Dillon Urban Renewal Authority (DURA) board will also be taking comments regarding the DURA budget.
The council will also give the first reading of one amendment and two ordinance considerations. The amendment concerns signage regarding a planned unit development at the Dillon Ridge Marketplace.
The first ordinance involves the repealing and replacing of the 'Fees' chapter of the Dillon municipal code. This is done every year, and will influence planning and zoning fees, water fees, marina fees and farmers market fees.
The second ordinance concerns a franchise with the Public Service Company of Colorado for the use of the town streets in distribution of gas and electricity to the town. The previous 25-year agreement is ending, and the town is planning to potentially renew a modified version of the agreement for another 20 years.
The purpose of the first readings is to move the ordinances to a public second hearing, which will be Nov. 22.
As the town hall will be in use as a voting center tonight, the town council meeting will be held at the Dillon Community Church. A work session begins at 4 p.m., the DURA meeting begins at 6, and the council meeting will come into session immediately following, around 6:15.

I notice that several companies sell recoil buffers for the Mini-14. Years ago I bought one for my older "pencil barrel" Mini. I have shot it some. I don't notice much difference. My newer rifle with the tapered barrel is still completely stock. I have yet to shoot it. I better do it soon in case a problem comes up.
My question is: Do I need a recoil buffer in a Mini? Does it help to prolong the life of the gun. Does it reduce recoil-which is not much to start with? Could I switch the one I have on the older gun to the newer gun and then switch them back and forth as needed?
I'd love to hear some opinions on the use of Recoil buffers!

Mission Statement
We are the brothers and sisters of the Shaolin. We define ourselves by the two deaths; The first death is the age of light we knew. The second death is our own. Our origins stem from the sacred three; Brave Castor, the strength of the light. Wise Baruch, the will of the light. Clever Numa, wife of Castor and endurance of the light. By their example and through their teachings we seek enlightenment and the clarity to find our own path. We welcome all who would endure the road of sorrow by our side. We seek the wisdom to understand the price of final victory. And we cultivate the courage to act upon this knowledge when the moment calls us to our fate. As Baruch, we sacrifice for the safety of the city. As Castor, we give our flesh for all we cherish. As Numa, we carry the memory of all who have rejoined the light. In this spirit, we take the name of the place our founders were reborn by the will of the Traveler; The forest at the foot of the Shaoshi Mountain--Shaolin.

I was going to start work on my Ruffkintoy gauntlets and started to wonder a few things ..
What does everyone use to attach the Resin cast parts to the Styrene vacuumformed parts?
Is there any advice I can get on what to do to make these things sturdy and long lasting? Should I fiberglass the inside?
How does one go about attaching a hinge to the styrene pieces? They seem awfully thin and relatively flimsy to me and I'm worried that it will tear.

The Georgia breakaway region of Abkhazia is seeking recognition from the European Union for its decision to end relations with Georgia and become an independent state. Deputy Foreign Minister Maxim Gunjia emphasized: "we want the European Union to recognize our independence. This is a very positive moment for the EU." In a sense, South Ossetia and Abhhazia have placed the European Union and the United States in a rather awkward situation since those bodies strongly supported the right of Kosovo to break away from Serbia and declare its independence. Gunjia pointed out to the European Union in no uncertain terms, "we use the same arguments as those used by the West with regard to Kosovo. There was no possible way to reconcile with Georgia. this is purely a continuation of the Kosovo precedent."
Russia most probably would like to create disunion within the EU over this issue. For example, Slovakia was hesitant about recognizing Kosovo as independent and there may be nations within the EU which are torn between anger at Russian behavior and the right of people to be independent. Ironically, China has expressed displeasure at the prospect of the two regions becoming independent because of fears similar demands would be made by ethnic groups within China.
President George Bush has never been the swiftest thinking person in the world and most probably never recognized that by supporting Georgia he opened the door to the two regions declaring independence.

Another game I get on TV!!!!
just like joe johnson on wednesday, i hope okafor has a monster game while the bobcats lose!!
Without a quick PG who can penetrate into the lane, Okafor may have a good game but not a monster game. Sheed will take care of him. Hopefully, the team continue to play hard like the past few games and not sit back and relax after the heavy dinner the night before. 5 in a row??? LET'S GO TO WORK, BABY!!!
I'd really like to see this game. I like the matchups a lot.
The game is at 8 tonight, not 7:30.
Its also Bobble head night. I think we are getting a McDyess for those attending and getting there early enough. No excuse not to be 8-5 after this one.
Hey, Is Brevin Knight playing tonight? I need to know like ASAP!!!!!!!!
I don't believe so Dlev. Everything I have read indicates he will be inactive. "brevin knight" - Google News
Thank you sir.......
Chat is open!!!! http://www.pistonsforum.com/misc.php?do=flashchat
Pistons win there 5th straight with a 104-95 victory. Rip scored 26 and Prince had 21 points in the win.
How about that nice little run with Delfino in there? That was nice, he provided some nice energy off the bench. The main four were awesome and Nazr wasn't to bad himself.
Pistons' defense wasn't too great tonight, but they made a big run in the 4th to put it away. Delfino scored 6 during a 13-3 stretch for the Pistons, and he played the entire 4th quarter!
I am glad i read about Fino's contribution. I am also glad not a lot of people are complaining about the low number of minutes played by the bench. Another thing, I saw the stats for Chicago's game yesterday. Ben's contribution was one assist for the whole game. One assist. no rebound, no scoring. one assist and two fouls. I love Ben, I am afraid he does not belong to the right team.
I agree, it is good to see Delfino in there and attacking and running on fast breaks. I feel for Ben, Detroit was his home. I don't think he'll ever play as good as he played here. The Sixers scored 126 points tonight against the Bulls, I think it was 126, that is pretty sad.
I'm suprised not much has been written about this victory. Pistons looked pretty average defensively, but we looked very efficient on offense. Nazr, Sheed and Dice are really picking up the rebounding. I'm also seeing a trend of the starting 5 playing more balanced basketball. Rip's assists are up. During this streak you have to give the starters credit for expanding their games to make up for their defenciencies on the defensive end. We don't make alot of mistakes with the ball in our hands. Very efficient possessions.
I gotta admit...Delfino looked pretty good in the 4th. He ran the floor well and bothered Morrison. I'd like to see more of this from him on a consistent basis...you listening Flip?
'Team, I'm gunna post Flip's comments shortly. FYI, Bernie Bickerstaff said in his postgamer that their game plan was to "take it to the hole..." It looks like the Pistons will be tested in this regard everynight.
Separate names with a comma.

if your even considering the ACOG series look on the link FIRST.
the ACOG is a proven optic for combat. however it does have some "interesting" features/pitfalls that those who haven't lugged them around in the sand probably don't know about.
the most often versions used are the 4x and the 3.5x and are very well illuminated. these are mostly light weight and very rugged. they weigh in around 10oz or so IIRC. so not much more than a fixed power rifle scope like a weaver k4/k6. other more complex versions weight as much as 30oz--
we tended to favor the lighter ones.
the ACOG series is also known for very short 1.5" (or less) eye relief and a fairly "tight" eye box.
this is because the DOD in their wisdom wanted a scope that kept the nose to the charging handle of the old peeps--
newer versions have up to about 3.3" --however their on the more heavy models.
as much as i like the old TA1s i haven't found myself wanting to buy one. too expensive for me and i ain't one to want to re-live past experiences with USGI shit.
for general survival use you probably better off with a civilian type of scope/optic and spend the savings on more ammo. it is a pretty good piece of kit just the expense and the USGI "oddness" of it still puts me off a little.
if they were going for "worth" i would pick one up. @ mall ninja prices--not to much--LOL

The University of St. Thomas William J. Flynn Center of Irish Studies, and its director, Lori Gallagher, JD, will take center stage at the 2011 Houston Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade. Gallagher has been chosen as the Grand Marshal for the 52nd Annual Houston St. Patrick's Day Parade, which will be held on Saturday, March 12, 2011. "I am honored to represent the University of St. Thomas Center for Irish Studies," said Gallagher. "We have endeavored to preserve Irish heritage and culture through our academic, study abroad and cultural outreach programs, and we hope to keep what it means to be Irish alive. This is a testament to our heart-felt work." The Houston St. Patrick's Day Parade has a rich history. The first parade dates back to the 1880's when it started in "Irish Town" by the old St. Patrick's Church on Harrisburg and ended in Market Square. The parade continued for many years until the Depression and World War II took priority, but in 1960, with support from a group of Irishmen known as the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the parade returned to Houston. During its most recent 51-year run, sponsored by the Houston St. Patrick's Day Parade Commission, the parade has grown to be one of the largest parades of its kind in the nation including over 100 entries celebrating Irish culture. Throughout its history, a diverse group of people has been represented and honored as Grand Marshal. Former Grand Marshals include movie personalities, Dennie O'Keefe and Dennis Day, NASA astronauts Robert Crippen and Brian Duffey, football greats Dan Pastorini and Jim Kelly, former Houston Mayor Jim McConn, and former UST President Dr. Joseph McFadden. Gallagher will join the ranks of these distinguished individuals in March. The University of St. Thomas Irish Studies Program at the William J. Flynn Center for Irish Studies has been named as one of the top Irish Studies programs in North America. The University established the Center in 2003 with support from The Irish Society, a community-based nonprofit, nonsectarian organization. Gallagher has been the director of the program since its inception. She oversees the academic programs in the Irish Studies minor and graduate concentration, as well as the Ireland and Northern Ireland study abroad programs. She organizes 9-12 public cultural outreach events per year and actively fundraises year-round for the Center and its programs.
In 2009, Irish America magazine named Gallagher as one of the "Global Irish 100," a list of the most revered and influential "sons and daughters of Erin", and Irish Voice newspaper honored her as one of the top "100 Irish Educators". Gallagher was among the first to receive the Texas Irish American Leaders Award given in 2009 by Irish Echo newspaper, and she was honored at the Mayor's Gala for the 2009 Houston International Festival featuring Ireland.
In addition to working full time for the Center for Irish Studies, Gallagher is a lecturer in Irish Studies and an attorney licensed to practice law in Texas. She practiced law for 18 years at the Houston law firm, Andrews Kurth LLP, where she was chair of the appellate section and a partner.
Gallagher earned undergraduate degrees in English and journalism and a law degree from the University of New Mexico. She also earned a postgraduate degree in Irish Literature from Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, on a Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholarship.

GOP wave ready to crash over blue-state Maine?
posted at 8:57 pm on September 22, 2010 by Slublog
Only a few weeks to go until ballot-castin' time.
Judging from the trend line of these polls, conservative Republican Paul LePage is going to be Maine's next governor. Only one thing to say, really.
Thank you, Mr. President.
That is not entirely fair, of course. Maine Democrats have done enough on their own to deserve replacement. But the last time the Maine electorate got tired of the status quo, they elected an independent. The independent in this race, Eliot Cutler, peaked at 16% in August and now hovers between 11 and 14 percent. What's fascinating about LePage is that his lead keeps growing, no matter what the media and Democrats throw at him.
One reason for this is that LePage is a likable candidate. He's a happy warrior who promises voters lower state spending, no tax hikes and welfare reform. In addition, LePage is an accomplished person with a near-Dickensian life story – he was homeless at age 11 and spent two years supporting himself shining shoes. He worked his way through high school, college, and graduate school and became a successful businessman. As if that weren't enough, LePage also managed to get himself elected Mayor in a highly-Democratic city. He's an impressive guy.
Still, that's not really enough to explain the high poll numbers he's been getting. That's where the president comes in.
Maine is ranked 36th in median household income, but 13th in the per capita tax rate. On average, Mainers give $2,432 to the state government alone every year (as of 2005 – it's more now). Add in federal taxes and you can see why so many voters in this state were impressed by Obama's promise of a "net spending cut."
That…didn't exactly work out as promised.
I've lived in this state for just over two decades, and I've never seen voters this angry – not even in 1994. I think the reason LePage is likely to be Maine's next governor is that voters believe his policies will lead to the spending cuts – at least on the state level – that Obama promised during the campaign. It's pretty clear to me that voters in other states are thinking along the same lines.
Call it the "Obama effect."
Update – Patrick Ishmael points out that both Maine House seats have been downgraded in recent weeks. Both have moved from 'Safe Dem' to 'Leans Dem.' Both seats are still slight longshots, but in 1994, so was James B. Longley, Jr. If I had to guess, I'd say the first congressional district will probably still go to the Democrats this year, but the second? Let's just say that central, northern, and western Maine are a bit more conservative than
north Boston southern Maine.
Representative Jason Levesque? Possible.

Thomas Vermaelen insists Arsenal can take plenty of positives from their first two Premier League matches.
Arsène Wenger's side had the upper hand against Sunderland and Stoke City but had to settle for 0-0 draws on both occasions. Their next fixture is another tough one - Liverpool away.
Goals may have been hard to come by but new captain Vermaelen has helped his team start the campaign with two clean sheets and he feels under no extra pressure ahead of Sunday's trip to Anfield.
"There is always pressure to win a game at Arsenal because we want to win every one," said Vermaelen. "But you have to look at the positives as well: our shape is really good and we haven't conceded any goals in two games.
"That is not easy, especially at a place like Stoke, so we have to keep on working and in the end the results with come. I think the team will get stronger and stronger every game now.
"It is always difficult to go to Stoke but we fought again and have kept another clean sheet. That is good but normally our strengths are scoring goals. On Sunday we had enough chances to score a goal and in the end I think we deserved it. That is why the draw is a little bit disappointing."
Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski gave encouraging displays at the Britannia Stadium and Vermaelen is confident they will thrive in English football.
"The new signings are working hard but coming to England is not easy and you have to adapt," he said. "That is especially true when your second game is away at Stoke.
"But I am really pleased with them, they are three good signings and they are working hard to get fitter and stronger."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

The search is on for a man who has eluded police again and again and sent two Texas Game Warden officers to the hospital.
The chase began late Friday night, in Limestone County after two Texas Game Wardens caught 45 year-old Teddy Davenport burglarizing a home on Cottonwood Creek Road, just outside of Mart city limits.
According to police, when they tried to pull him over he sped off down Farm to Market Road 342.
Police say during the pursuit, Davenport and a passenger were shinning bright lights at the officers and even shot at them with a riffle causing them to crash. One officer suffered minor injuries and the other was taken to the hospital to undergo surgery for a dislocated hip.
The Texas Game Wardens, U.S. Marshal's Office, Mart Police and McLennan County and Limestone County Sheriff's Offices are working together to find Davenport.
Davenport was given six years probation for a similar incident in may. He was arrested after leading mart police on a chase that left an officer injured. Investigators later found that davenport has a history of evading police.
Investigators are asking the public to call local authorities if they spot him but warn not to approach him, because he's considered armed and dangerous.

|Wow! Sounds stressful all the way around. I'm glad she finally decided to loan you the car. I hope the hearing goes well for you, at least as good as something like this can go anyways.

Well, she called, she is going to loan me her car. I have a hearing tomorrow for eviction. I would have used my own car, but in an effort to help another friend who was down and out a few months ago, loaned him my car so he could earn some money, I got stiffed w/some parking tickets - I had one $61.00 on my sticker renewal statement that I was aware of - this comes about two months before birthday - date of renewal...I also had the added expense of renewing my license this year too - hurray! I knew about the ONE ticket, but not the other two - so at the time I only had enough money which I thought was enough - well, there was another $120 when I went up to the counter...my B-day lands 12 days before x-mas - the prime spot check time, so I pretty much had to park my car for a month.
My neighbour - not a close friend, a senior who is constantly playing the damsel in distress card and I fell out around this time last year for several months....until she needed me when a pipe burst two floors above and her apartment was flooding...
I had resolved then, that I was better off w/o her in my life (she is a heavy drinker and loves to talk about how adored she is by all and gets quite crass and dismissive when you are down or want to talk and she doesn't want to hear it - she will abruptly change the subject or start making waving gestures to usher you along as she struggles to interupt)
I was having a pretty positive day, online looking for work when the knock came at my door and she was in a panic...waterfall of water pouring in over her stove...I calmed her, helped her, as it tapered I went home as my dog was freaking out - bathroom emergency! Next thing, another knock, frantic...the water was now coming down and into her bedrooms (ajoining walls) - she was out of towels...I spent 5 hrs. helping her, dealng with the management to get answers as to when the restoration crew or someone (other then me) would be coming to help her so her belongings were not destroyed, I was sucking up water with my steam cleaner. Nobody came to help from our mangement...
Well she bestowed virtues on me - the cat's meow - bragged to her friends about me - I was renewed in her eyes and she started calling me again.
Me, not so keen on this - I truely didn't want to get back involved with her...But, I thought I would see how things went and if she started hurting my feelings again - I'd just stay away...she was calling me daily...I was complaining about the cost of driving my truck (sorry said car earlier, however), it is a pig on gas...she always say things like "well take my car, it just sits there, doesn't use much gas" or "I never drive it, could use a run" (she only goes to the mall up the street) I never asked, never would...until I needed my sticker - I asked her to take me - she said "just take my car" so I did - no problem...she new my situation, she knew my other friend had screwed me and she knew I had a hearing....and instead of reflecting back to a time (and there were more and more recent - although a smaller scale - but still an interupt-is of my time and what I needed to do for me), she balked when I asked her this morning....I was hoping she would offer, it made me sick to ask b/c it puts me in a vulnerable situation to be let down...I have too much on my plate, I am overwhelmed, I have anxiety, and depression and I needed someone - her, to just make my life that one teensy tiny bit simpler (note: I have never asked her for anything prior)
But it just never goes that way. sigh
As for the rest of my so called friends (ex-friends), as so many of you have commented about dissolving relationships that were one sided...been there, done that too.
Sucks. yep. Although the situation has worked out as I needed it to, I still cannot get over the 9hrs of anxiety.
Thank you all though for the encouraging words
P.S. I never "do" with the expectation of anything in return. I just "do" b/c I believe (or used to), if you are a good person to others, they will be in return...can't be a jerk and then expect help...I cannot, but seems others can....go figure...still p.o'd...grrr

because someone can't help you doesn't mean you
shouldn't continue to be their friend. if you're that shallow
of a friend then there wasn't much freindship coming from
you in the first place.
when you have something important to do and need the help
of others don't depend on one person. line up a few people
for help just in case someone can't help and don't wait untill
the last minute to ask for help.
I am sorry. I hope everything works out ok. Usually, if I step back, I can find alternatives if I must in just about any situation.
Also, I hope that no matter how much I do for any one person, if they do not feel comfortable doing something for me, or have something else planned, I hope they would just tell me they can't. I am cool with that. Because I wouldn't want anyone doing something for me out of an obligation and giving up something else as well.

New rules for Cleveland cops
(Cuyahoga County) - Cleveland's police chief has announced a ban on officers firing weapons at or from a moving vehicle as part of a review of the agency's use of force policies.
Police Chief Mike McGrath said Wednesday the ban was in line with national practices and was meant to protect officers, suspects and bystanders.
McGrath contends firing at or from a moving vehicle is very dangerous for innocent bystanders and for follow responding officers.
McGrath says the only exception is cases where deadly force other than a vehicle itself is being used against officers.
Chief Michael McGrath with Mayor Frank Jackson
He says officers are no longer justified firing at a car because it refuses to stop.
However, Jeff Follmer president of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association believes the rule may be out of touch with reality, where criminals used vehicles as deadly weapons.
Last November, officers fired at a moving vehicle near the end of a chase that concluded with 137 shots fired at a driver and passenger who were killed.
No weapon or shell casings were found in the fleeing car.
The new police is one of 26 recommendations may by the Police Executive Research Forum which released a $40,000 study of the Cleveland Police Department.
Mayor Frank Jackson says all but one of the recommendations have been put in place, and that the study shows deadly force incidents are down. He feels the Cleveland Police Department is moving in the right direction.

Monday 10th January 2010
Many of the seasons where we have gone on to win the FA Cup included replays and more often than not after a disappointing home draw. Although not an ideal result, with a few minutes left on the clock on Saturday afternoon I definitely would have taken the second bite of the cherry Cesc's late penalty has given us.
Some of you will remember the run to Wembley back in 1979. It took five attempts to overcome third division Sheffield Wednesday. Few would have predicted that we would then go on to lift the trophy in May.
The 1997/98 campaign goes down as a phenomenal season in our history but it really didn't look that way in our 0-0 draw at home to Port Vale. Even less so perhaps when it took extra time and a penalty shoot-out to see us progress in the away replay!
We were definitely a bit below par on Saturday although we probably created enough chances to win comfortably on another day. Consequently I don't feel we did enough to deserve to go through but I don't believe we deserved to go out either. Overall then, a second chance to do battle, however unwelcome it is in our congested fixture list, is probably just about right from the day.
Two other games need to be completed before we turn to the replay of course, both hugely different for a number of reasons.
The first sees us head to a part of the country we haven't visited for a while and the first leg of our Carling Cup tie against Ipswich. With so little time between fixtures there is absolutely no room to let Saturday's disappointment take control. If we can't be confident and up for a semi-final then there is something wrong.
If Saturday demonstrated one thing however, it's that a game against any opposition in the Cup is never easy. With the right attitude (and I mean both the players and us fans), we know we can travel home on Wednesday night satisfied with the 'half-time' score.
Our large away allocation leaves no excuses guys, let's make some noise!

Freshman Impresses as Women's Golf Opens 2012 Season
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Freshman Katie Pokrandt (Eau Claire, Wis.) had a sensational debut with the Green Bay women's golf team, sharing medalist honors at the Green Bay Shootout after a 2-over par 75 on Sunday at the par-73, 5930-yard Green Bay Country Club.
Pokrandt had a strong follow up to her impressive debut on Monday, shooting a 3-over 76 in more blustery conditions as the Phoenix opened the 36-hole Green Bay Invitational. Pokrandt is three shots off the lead and in a tie for sixth place entering Tuesday's final round, which gets underway with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m.
Pokrandt carded a 2-under par 35 on the front nine on Sunday and finished with a 75 to equal Loyola's April Ohlendorf for medalist honors. Loyola shot a team score of 322 to best the Phoenix by 10 strokes.
Junior Grace Abitz (Appleton, Wis.) and sophomore Renee Christensen (Greenleaf, Wis.) had the next best Phoenix scores after shooting matching 10-over par 83s. Three other freshmen also debuted for the Phoenix on Sunday, with Steph Laude (Slinger, Wis.) carding an 85 and Lexi Wilson (Marinette, Wis.) and Sammi Grunder (Pardeeville, Wis.) shooting 89s.
Pokrandt made 13 pars and a birdie on Monday to put herself in contention to win the title in the 11-team, 64-golfer field. Starting on hole 10, the freshman played her first nine holes in 2-over 38 before playing the front nine at 1-over 38.
The Green Bay B team featured a balanced effort of four Phoenix golfers, with Laude leading the way with a 9-over 82 that featured matching 41s. Abitz had an 83, junior Jacki Johnson (Neenah, Wis.) carded an 84 and Christensen had an 85 with three birdies.
The B team is in eighth place after shooting 334 and is just seven shots out of the top-five. Indianapolis (306), Butler (316), Northern Illinois (320), North Dakota (322) and Chicago State (327) compile the top five in the field. The Green Bay A team is in 11th place after an opening-round 346.

On the 27th Cam and Richochet made their second litter of Boxer pups. And again on the 28th, 29th, and the 30th. It's as if they didn't find it to be "work"! <g>
Now, a bitch can have pups in the same litter from 2 different sires, so Im looking at this as increasing the herd. With some dates having multiple...couplings...there should be roughly 27 pups...<g>

There are number of new concepts in this new generation business where each and every penny is calculated and spent. Home office is one of those ideas where an entrepreneur operates his office from his home or an independent business owner operates business from home or it is an office away from your real office, either it is in your bedroom or another room converted to an office.
While looking for a change in the home office flooring, you have to consider many things. A flooring can be of anything – marbles, tiles, mosaics, wooden or carpeted. You should identify your requirement and expected interactions with the general public or other interested parties.
Marble is good and easy to clean, tiles are also easy to clean but if a single peace broken, it will be difficult to get the matching tile. Mosaics flooring has the disadvantage of chips getting peeled off. Wooden flooring has been the best recently. Carpeted flooring were common but latest office culture not prefer carpets. If it is going to be a very busy office, carpet on the flooring is preferred because it has the capacity of trapping dust and preventing slip and fall. All other flooring solutions have the disadvantage of slips and falls even with a very little moisture.
Other thing you have to consider is the kind of furniture you are going to use. If you are going to use wheeled chairs, the flooring should be good enough to allow free movement. All importantly you should ensure that the flooring is in level from the beginning of the flooring itself. Maintenance of the flooring should be very important, especially the tiles and marbles. Proper maintenance and cleaning procedure need to be set up for the flooring systems. Carpets are good but it requires thorough cleaning very often or it can be the place of diseases. Some people have allergic reactions to carpet material. Also, liquid spill will change the things for ever. If ink kind of thing spilled over the marbles, the texture may change and it will be difficult clear them off.
Ultimately the cost factor will decide your wishes. For world-class flooring concepts, you have to spent a lot of money for that. Depends on your office or business concepts, flooring may also change. Flooring of an artist's office will be different from that of a hotel manager. The present day technical gadgets also requires lot of space and additional fixers and fitting on the floors, before giving final touches you have to ensure that all those requirements are met.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thanks LittleG, I'll keep that in mind.
I really like what I'm hearing about ns boards, and I think the sl-r looks tops. Do they ever go on sale? I'll be buying in around 2 months and would love to snag a cheaper 2010 model...
Dont go lower than a 155 for an all-mountain board. You said you want to progress and going too small on a board can hurt your progression unless you're in the park :P
Anyways look at the ride Antic its a fun basic board, doesn't cost too much and its meant for your exact skill level
Or Never summer SL-R for the gnar rocker camber with vario grip, though the premier f1 could be a better match for you as you said you want to be mostly slaying mountain side.
Thanks guys, now that I have a few board names I can do a little bit of research.
I live in Australia now, but I'm moving to Vancouver at the start of April and will be doing my shopping as soon as I get over there, hopefully there are still 2010 boards around then on discount!
I have only a few days snowboarding experience but I picked it up fairly easily (doing intermideiate runs), but I'll be doing a whole season so I want a board that I can really grow with.
I'm 5 foot 10 and around 160 but I'll probably go a 153-155 purely because my first day snowboarding the rental shop gave me a huge board, up to my forehead (so around 166 I guess), and I couldn't even turn it properly... so now I'm paranoid and want to get a much shorter board. For me, speed isn't such a huge priority but I want to be able to turn and manouvre easily.
^Actually he waited 24 hours and 6 minutes.
But any board that isn't too stiff or too soft should be fine. These guys just gave some good recommendations. I don't think you'll notice too much unless you go for something like a too big stiff mountain board or a park board that's way too small for you. If you're still confused after doing some research why not pick up a pair of used boards and see which type you really want?
How much riding have you done so far?
|I obsessed over what board to get for a long time, and the time would have been better spent trying on boots. Don't bother trying to decipher all the tech jargon. There's so much of it and you won't even notice it as a beginner. I sure didn't. Just pick up a quality all-around board with medium to soft flex from a reputable manufacturer and go shred. Suggestions include Burton Custom, Nitro Team, NeverSummer SL-R, K2 Believer, etc etc (there are many more). I think any of these are forgiving enough for a beginner but leave tons of room to grow and progress into any riding style you may fancy. Just know that if you go with Burton, you will probably have to get Burton bindings as well.
2010 Boards are already going on sale on sites like SierraSnowboard
You will want some sort of All Mountain board, without knowing your size i cant really recommend anything specific.
Goto all their websites
Rome, Lib-Tech, Never Summer, Capita, etc..they all have guides telling you what type of riding a particular board is like. Maybe not as hand holdy as Burton, but in reality a large portion of those questions they ask are irrelevant.
For example theres the Rome Agent(or whatever it is now), NS SL-R/Legacy-R, Lib Tech Dark Series or T. Rice...
|no help?
Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced... How to know?
Hi all
I'll be doing a season in BC at the end of the year (2010-2011 season), and want to pick up a board between now and then. I'm having a hard time at the moment finding out what boards are suited to what level of rider.
With big ol' Burton it's easy using their board finder application on the website. You put in your height, wight, proficiency, snow type etc and it spits out half a dozen boards that best match your criteria. This is great.
I want to keep an open mind though and look at other brands as well, but their websites are either damn confusing or just don't present the info in any meaningful way. How am I meant to know what Lib-Tech board caters to advanced-beginners, or what GNU board will be best to progress on?
For the record, I am looking at the 2010 Burton Joystick purely because Burton 'tells' me it will be a great board for my needs. But I don't want to buy it simply because I am ignorant of the alternatives. So can anyone help me out, either by teaching me how to decipher the product specs to get meaningful info, or to even recommend a board for me. I am a beginner, but I picked it up relatively easily, and I will be doing a full 5 month season and boarding every day so I want something that I can really progress on. I'll be at Big White so groomers and powder predominantly, and I think I'll have a go in the park as well for shits and giggles.
Finally, can people tell me when the board season starts and ends? For instance, when will companies start to introduce 2011 boards? I am asking mainly because I want to know when the 2010 boards start to go on sale.
Thanks for your help!

Naval Academy Operations Research Team Wins Flightline of the Future Competition
POSTED ON: Thursday, May 8, 2014 8:00 AM by CDR JOSEPH C. FORAKER III
A team of four Naval Academy midshipmen beat their sister services at the Flightline of the Future competition on April 29, winning the modeling category of the competition in their inaugural year as participants.
The analysis and technology competition was hosted by Lockheed Martin at their Center for Innovation in Suffolk, Va.
The Flightline of the Future competition was established in 2012 under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement between the U.S. Air Force Academy and Lockheed Martin Corporation. Because each service academy has a different academic program, the flightline projects were designed to meet each academy's educational goals.
One of the Naval Academy Mathematics Department's operations research senior capstone courses took on a project to optimize airspace scheduling for Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana in Virginia Beach, Va.
During the course of the research project, midshipmen traveled to NAS Oceana to meet with subject-matter experts at both the squadron and wing level to determine the best way they could use their analytical skills to help solve a fleet problem.
Based on the interviews the midshipmen conducted during their visit, they decided to create a decision support program that could help squadrons more efficiently use the limited airspace available for training off the Virginia coast.
The midshipmen implemented their decision support tool using Microsoft Excel and open-source optimization software. The program was seen as easy to use and directly applicable.
"I wish I had this software tool when I was a flight scheduler," said Cmdr. Chad Vincelette, former NAS Oceana squadron commanding officer and one of the judges for the competition.

Off-road hunting rules are confounding at best
The DNR announced rule changes Thursday designed to avoid conflicts between recreational riders and those pursuing game. Some make sense; others do not.
By DENNIS ANDERSON, Star Tribune
Last update: September 19, 2008 - 1:56 AM
http://www.startribune.com/sports/outdo ... LanchO7DiU
Hunters, hunters who ride off-highway vehicles (OHVs) and recreational OHV riders can be forgiven if they're confused by the Department of Natural Resources announcement Thursday that OHVs will be banned from "DNR forest trails'' during most upcoming firearms deer hunting seasons.
The DNR said the action is intended to reduce conflicts and potential conflicts between firearms deer hunters and recreational OHV riders -- the latter defined, for this purpose, as OHV riders during most firearms deer seasons (the restriction won't apply during the October antlerless season or the muzzleloader season) who do not hold deer hunting licenses.
Let's break it down:
• First, if you purchased a firearms deer license last year and also have registered an OHV with the DNR, you will soon receive in the mail a brochure that clarifies and explains many regulations affecting you and use of your machine while big-game hunting.
• Details about Thursday's announcement restricting OHVs (meaning all-terrain vehicles, off-highway motorcycles and off-road vehicles such as Jeeps) during firearms deer hunting seasons is not included in the brochure, however.
• In the northeastern Minnesota 100 series deer season, the recreational riding restriction will be in effect Nov. 8-23. In the 200 series deer season, the recreational riding restriction will be in effect Nov. 8-16. For season details, go to www.dnr.state.mn.us/hunting/deer/index.html.
• Thursday's restriction on recreational OHV riding during firearms deer seasons applies to state-owned land within state forests. This includes mapped and designated OHV trails (listed on www.findthetrails.com, which takes you to the DNR website) on these lands, as well as tote trails and any other trails on state lands within state forests. (Private, county and federal lands often also lie in state forests -- the restriction does not apply to these.)
• Nor does the restriction apply to "grant-in-aid'' trails that lie outside state forests. These trails are on land owned by counties, among other entities. The Soo Line Trail, for instance, which is one of the state's longest, running from Onamia to Moose Lake to Cass Lake, is grant-in-aid, and Thursday's restriction does not apply to it.
• DNR trails and waterways division policy and program manager Ron Potter estimates that about 40 percent of Minnesota's designated OHV trail miles lie outside of state forests and are not covered by Thursday's restriction. The DNR website will be updated with current closures before the firearms deer seasons.
• Thursday's restriction also does not apply to what officially are known as state forest roads or minimum-maintenance state forest roads. Potter said these roads should be designated by a number or name, but might not be. All mapped and designated OHV trails are marked by signs, however,
• In all, the state owns about 4.5 million acres of forest lands, almost all of it in the 100 and 200 series deer hunting zones. By comparison, the Superior National Forest encompasses 3.85 million acres, and Chippewa National Forest is 1.6 million acres.
• Meanwhile, if you are a deer hunter -- defined as someone who holds a license -- you can ride on these and other trails during deer season provided you do so before legal shooting hours, between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., and after legal shooting hours.
• The same restricted hours of OHV use by deer hunters apply to all public lands in the state. However, hunters who own OHVs can use them on private land any time they want, provided they own the land or have been given permission to ride there by the property owner.
• Thursday's OHV restriction during firearms deer seasons should be a win-win for everyone. Most recreational OHV riders don't want to be in the woods during deer season, and most deer hunters don't want them there.
• The same can't be said for a law passed by the Legislature last session removing a restriction requiring OHV riders to be 20 yards from their machines before shooting at ruffed grouse. Now they can pop these birds as soon as they dismount and uncase their guns.
Rep. David Dill, DFL-Crane Lake, carried the bill in the House. The measure was never heard in the Senate, but won approval by a House-Senate conference committee.
What a shame that the state with the best grouse hunting in the nation, and that otherwise prides itself on a population of hunters who honor in most instances not only the spirit but the letter of fair chase, would kowtow to those for whom such a regal bird is so cheaply regarded.

New off-highway vehicle riding restrictions during 2008 deer hunting season (September 19, 2008)
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Commissioner Mark Holsten announced new restrictions for off-highway vehicles (OHV) to be in effect during part of the 2008 deer hunting season.
The Commissioner's Order effects recreational riding on DNR forest trails but does not impact OHV use for big game hunting. Vehicles affected by the restrictions include all terrain vehicles, off road motorcycles, and off road vehicles such as jeeps and four-wheel-drive trucks that are not being used in conjunction with deer hunting by a licensed deer hunter.
The purpose of the restriction is to protect recreational OHV riders from potentially unsafe riding conditions and, to minimize conflicts between deer hunters seeking a quiet deer hunting experience and recreational riders who may inadvertently interrupt the hunt.
In the northeastern Minnesota 100 Series deer season, the recreational riding restriction will be in effect Nov. 8 through Nov. 23. In the Minnesota 200 Series deer season, the recreational riding restriction will be in effect Nov. 8 through Nov. 16. See the 2008 deer season map at www.dnr.state.mn.us/hunting/deer/index.html
There are no recreational OHV trails in southeastern Minnesota that remain open during the deer season so no additional restrictions are necessary in the southern part of the state.
This new restriction is in addition to the restricted hours of use that have been in effect in previous years. Deer hunters possessing a valid deer hunting license can operate an OHV 1) before legal shooting time (one-half hour before sunrise), 2) from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and 3) after legal shooting hours (one-half hour after sunset).
While many recreational OHV riders have voluntarily opted not to ride forest trails during deer hunting and small game seasons, OHV riding has become a year-around sport for many. That's why Commissioner Holsten, reminds everyone who visits state forests in the fall to always consider safety first.

New DNR brochure provides hunters and trappers with information regarding ATV use (August 19, 2008)
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has a new brochure that discusses changes that will affect the use of vehicles (ranging from highway licensed cars and trucks to all-terrain vehicles or ATVs) for hunting on public lands across the state.
The brochures will be mailed to about 130,000 people who have a registered ATV in the state and also purchased a big game hunting license last year. Brochures will also be available at the DNR Building at the Minnesota State Fair in St. Paul, Aug. 21 - Sept. 1.
Using ATVs while hunting big game is a privilege, and the responsibility belongs to each hunter to protect that privilege, said Forrest Boe, DNR Trails and Waterways director. Many big game hunters who use ATVs do not consider themselves to be ATV riders; however, they are. This brochure will make the hunting public more aware of the changing rules regarding ATV use on public lands.
Every year hunters, trappers and anglers need to review the new synopsis to see what has changed. Likewise, those who use ATVs for hunting need to consider changes as well, and make sure they are familiar with the current laws.
The DNR strives to provide a range of hunting opportunities," added Dennis Simon, DNR Wildlife Section chief. "Some of those may involve the use of ATVs, which certainly can assist big game hunters and help disperse the use. We ask that hunters to be sensitive to others and familiarize themselves with current laws that apply to that hunting activity.
Minnesotas hunting and trapping regulations as well as Off-Highway Vehicle regulations are available at the DNR Web site and at licensing centers. For complete regulations, consult the state statutes and rules.
Hunting and trapping regulations information is available at www.mndnr.gov/regulations/hunting/index.html.
Off-Highway Vehicle regulations are available at www.mndnr.gov/regulations/ohv/index.html
Go to www.mndnr.gov/ohv/hunting.html for details regarding use of ATVs while hunting.
This information is available in an alternative format upon request. Contact the DNR information Center by e-mail at email@example.com or by calling (651) 296-6157 or 1-888-MINNDNR (646-6367.)
Hunters cheer new ATV limits

Article Last Updated: 09/20/2008 11:52:21 PM CDT
http://www.twincities.com/outdoors/ci_1 ... ck_check=1
Last fall, while rifle hunting for deer in Nemadji State Forest, our hunting party had a crew of dirt-bike riders scream past on a forest trail. I only heard the motorcycles, but friends told me the dirt bikers sprayed dirt on them as they passed.
It was just one incident in the Nemadji, where off-road motorcyclists have harassed deer hunters. Never mind that, in order to give hunters peace and quiet, it is illegal to ride a motorcycle or all-terrain vehicle during certain hours during the deer season. These guys claimed they were from Wisconsin and didn't know the deer season was under way in Minnesota.
Past and present Department of Natural Resources employees who hunt in Nemadji have seen first-hand the illegal riding in the forest; some have complained personally to DNR Commissioner Mark Holsten.
At the end of last year's deer season, I called Holsten, too, and gave him an earful about the illegal riding. I reminded him that deer managers are counting on hunters to keep the herd down and if illegal motorcycles were scaring deer away, how did the DNR expect deer hunters to have successful hunts?
"I know about the problem," Holsten said. "We're working on a solution, but we're not ready to release it yet." In January, Holsten was not ready to talk about the new plan.
Last week, Holsten announced his decision: Riders of ATVs, off-road vehicles and motorcycles who don't have a deer license are banned on state forest trails during the firearms deer season. Licensed deer hunters still can use vehicles under existing rules (mostly special hours of operation) to access the woods and retrieve deer.
The rules still allow licensed deer hunters to use off-road vehicles before morning shooting hours, which are a half-hour before sunrise; from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and after evening shooting hours (a half-hour after sunset.).
Holsten's decision is a victory for deer hunters fed up with non-licensed hunters who tear around the woods illegally during the firearms deer season. Even among Nemadji hunters who legally use ATVs, there was outrage over the reckless riding that occurred during hunting hours.
One Nemadji hunter last year said the motorcyclists were lucky they didn't get shot — by accident or not.
Holsten said the new rules were designed for safety and to not disrupt deer hunters and deer.
The rules don't alleviate the deep fissure in the hunting community over off-road vehicles.
There are deer hunters who still yearn for the days when you could walk deep into a state forest and not encounter ATV trails; where solitude could be found by a hunter willing to burn off a little boot leather; and where an archery deer hunter could sit quietly in a stand without hearing the buzz of ATVs.
A fledgling group in Minnesota, Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, got its start on the West Coast by hunters frustrated with ATV trails cutting into remote areas. You can read more about the group at www.backcountryhunters.org.
Some grouse hunters on foot still get red-faced when ATV-riding grouse hunters scream past them on trails, effectively ruining the trail for the foot hunter. A rule prohibiting hunters from shooting grouse within 20 yards of an ATV was quietly eliminated by the Legislature this spring, though it's arguable whether the law ever was obeyed or effective.
Despite five years of new regulations and ATV management, the DNR has given its state forests over to off-road riders, and the incidents at Nemadji finally made the right people mad enough to push the DNR into action.
The foot hunter is an endangered species. The days of hiking back into the forest with a rifle over your shoulder are gone. Many of those hunters have given up. You can do it, but you're likely to cross a well-worn ATV trail and maybe a rider or two.
I have had enough hate mail from ATVers over the years to expect this column will solicit a few more. So be it. A few hunters would still like to have a quiet hunting experience in a remote area, but I doubt we're ever headed in that direction.

Had my first incident while working on my RotJ. I got a 1" tear in the sleeve of my jumpsuit near the elbow. Gonna have it sewn shut. It'll be partially covered by my gauntlet, but man...my heart broke when it happened. I guess it'll just be considered "weathering". :cry
Any of you guys have any incidents of damage to your BF armor while in-costume?


text: As a metal worker i already had the skills too make the armor pieces out of sheet metal. A friend requested a mandolorian suit so i whipped up all the body pieces. I even belled the two chest halves to fit a female form. I then decided to research the harder part, the helm. Upon finding this site i attempted the helm and am now close to finished after one abandand attempt. I have decided to make a complete Boba costume for halloween. I'll post pics as i continue. -Darth Azure-
