If Portsmouth is a 'retirement home' for veteran Arsenal players like Sol Campbell, Lauren and Kanu, Birmingham is a 'finishing school' for some of the Club's younger prospects.
In recent years a host of young Gunners have arrived at St Andrews in search of regular first-team football. Some have returned to Arsenal after loan spells - Nicklas Bendtner and Johan Djourou - some have used Birmingham as a stepping stone - Jermaine Pennant and Matthew Upson - and others are still there - Fabrice Muamba and Sebastian Larsson.
That last pair are expected to line up against their former club at Emirates Stadium on Saturday and Arsenal can expect a stern examination. The Blues have won at Tottenham, drawn at Liverpool and only lost by the odd goal at Manchester United this season. Indeed, with Alex McLeish now at the helm, Birmingham are arguably the best-equipped of the promoted clubs to stay in the Premier League.
We spoke to Brian Dick of the Birmingham Post for a Blues perspective ahead of this weekend's game. Read on for his take on the season so far, the changes McLeish has made, the impact of the Arsenal old boys and the reason Birmingham will not sit back at Emirates Stadium.
"It falls very neatly into pre-Alex McLeish and post Alex McLeish. They were struggling to break even under Steve Bruce but since McLeish has come in the performances have been much better, Huddersfield aside in the FA Cup. They will travel to Arsenal having played very well at Old Trafford and taken a point from Liverpool. At the Emirates they will be compact and confident of at least trying to take a point.
"McLeish has been tremendously impressive. What he has changed most, what has been one of the intangibles is the players' belief. He has encouraged them to get the ball down and play it around and two or three of the players have really responded to that. I think McLeish's hands have been tied a bit as he has had to work with the players that Bruce left him who were constructed on a very conservative set-up. McLeish is trying to be a bit more positive, as he showed when he went to Old Trafford and played two up front. That worked really well and he really has made a very promising start. It will be interesting to see who he brings in over the transfer window."
"If the Player of the Season was awarded now I think I would probably give it to Liam Ridgewell, bearing in mind the fact he crossed the city from Villa. He had to prove himself to the Birmingham City fans and he has done that really well. He has spent much of the season as captain and has been a really solid, consistent player for Birmingham. He is the one player they perhaps can't afford to get injured and on that basis he is probably the most important player for the side and therefore the player of the season so far."
"I think Rafael Schmitz has come in and done a good job. He has been injured for quite a lot of games and played left-back quite a lot when McLeish first arrived but has slotted in at centre-back and although he is only on loan he looks like a good bit of business, especially with Birmingham a bit thin at the back at the moment. As long as he and Ridgewell are together I don't think they should be overly concerned."
"Johan Djourou did OK when he was on loan at Birmingham. It's important to remember that he is an inexperienced lad and at times he looked quite raw. He has all the physical attributes but to my mind he needed to be a bit more positive. He played in central defence a lot and did OK but looked sloppy when he was in midfield. He strikes me as a young man who has immense potential but also has a great deal to learn as well."
"The squad needs strengthening and McLeish is definitely chasing a striker. They only have three strikers and the season they went down they only had three strikers. Bruce always said the biggest lesson he learnt was that you can't get through an entire season with only three strikers. I think they need to bring in someone in central midfield - they had a 16-year-old lad on the bench at Huddersfield and although Jordon Mitch is a good prospect, it would not be ideal for him to be going to the Emirates or facing Chelsea. Also, just bodies wise, they do need a central defender with Radi Jaidi at the African Cup of Nations. Goalkeeper is a position that a lot of fans are looking it and thinking that they need a younger man than Maik Taylor."
"We have a couple away with the African Nations Cup, Jaidi and Medhi Nafti. A few are coming back. Schmitz has recovered and Damien Johnson the club captain is fit again although he is likely to play in a mask as he fractured his skull against Fulham. Olivier Kapo is back in after six weeks of niggling injuries, so I think they will be as strong as they can be at the Emirates. McLeish hinted that maybe he would start with two up top with one dropping off and picking up the holding midfielder. I would be surprised if he didn't continue that. He was very concerned with one up front at Bolton that they didn't get enough people in advanced positions to put pressure on their opponents. I can't see him expecting to come to Arsenal, sit for 90 minutes and hope for a 0-0. I think they have to try and get something."
"Fabrice Muamba has been brilliant in his first season. You would never confuse him with Zinedine Zidane, he is a combative player and his constructive play needs a bit more work. He has played nearly every game this season and that for someone of his age is incredible - that has been invaluable to Birmingham. Seb Larsson likewise. We saw his value in the win at Tottenham with that screamer in the last minute. Where he is most comfortable is difficult to say at the moment. He is not as consistent as Muamba but he can change a game and if he is on his game he can arguably be their best player."

This article was originally published on SailNet in March of 1999.
Compared to many sports, sailing is relatively safe. There are dangers, of course. The failure of complex and often highly stressed mechanical parts, the vagaries of weather, and the element of human error in an alien environment can add up quickly to an emergency situation.
While most of us find both entertainment and educational value in a good disaster story, we rarely reflect on how seldom disastrous events occur on the water. In fact, if they weren't uncommon, the tragedies that do occur wouldn't be news at all. Thus the awareness of the potential dangers of sailing has led to a phenomenon that I refer to as "Safety Talisman." Many sailors assuage their fears of the hazards of the sport by simply buying the latest piece of safety gear, as if owning the talisman wards off any future threat to them or their vessel. They stow the gear in a locker, never reading the instructions, and hope to never use it.
One of the major complaints of 406MHz EPIRB manufacturers is that just over 60 percent of the people who buy these essential items for offshore voyaging ever bother to register the signal. Life raft repacking stations lament how many rafts are damaged each year by owner's disregard of the servicing schedule. If the Coast Guard didn't threaten fines for not carrying life jackets, current flares and fire extinguishers, sales of those items would plummet.
A telling passage near the end of the recent book "Dark Wind" (a really good read for cruisers, incidentally) tells an important story. Faced with imminent shipwreck, the protagonists find that their EPIRB has been lost and the liferaft is un-launchable. Once in the water, the crew discovers that one inflatable life vest has a frozen valve and the buckles on both their preservers fail to stay snapped.
The real problem is the fact that this expensive equipment mercifully never gets used on most boats. Until it is really needed, that is. And Murphy's Law of unused mechanical devices is that they deteriorate five times faster than equipment used frequently. Worse, safety gear has a tendency to gravitate to the most hidden corner of the locker where it can't even be located in an emergency. Here are a few basic elements to keep in mind regarding the proper stewardship of safety gear:
Paperwork When you unpackage it, read all the owner's manuals. Understand what the piece of gear will do and what it won't. If it has a registration card, fill it out and mail it back to the manufacturer. If it has a recommended service schedule, enter it in the maintenance log section devoted entirely to safety gear to remind yourself. Some things, like EPIRB and MOB strobe batteries, or repacking life rafts or renewing CO2 cartridges in inflatable vests or MOMs may need to happen as infrequently as every three to five yearsso these are easy to forget.
Location If it has a mounting bracket, place it somewhere obvious and attach it firmly. MOB gear needs special attention. At five knots, a person's head disappears in a seaway in less than 10 seconds, so deployment of the rescue gear needs to happen without delay. Wooden thru-hull plugs should be tied to each seacock and not thrown into some forgotten drawer.
Testing If the item is new to you, take the boat out on the water and practice using it. There are obvious restrictions here for firing off liferafts, fire extinguishers, or flares, but a Lifesling has zero value if no one on board knows how to use it properly. It is imperative that you trust that the equipment works and that you will know how to operate it in a state of sheer panic. A pleasant summer afternoon on the water practicing man overboard drills may save a life on some future dark and stormy night.
Spares If it has bulbs, batteries, valves, CO2 canisters, electronics or disposable cloth parts, check the operation frequently and repair or replace as necessary. Don't neglect lowly flashlights, never-used personal strobes, and the MOB pole flag that has become tattered. Items with a definite expiration date such as flares, underwater epoxy, or first-aid items should be replaced on schedule. Carry spares in the event a replacement is needed where parts are not available.
OK, you say this all sounds like a lot of work, right? You bet. But a safety device that can't be found, doesn't work, or fails to accomplish its assigned task due to operator error is worse than not having the gear at all. It's really nothing more than a Safety Talisman, held up in front of us to ward off future dangers.

Welcome to information on public services in Germany!
www.bund.de is the gateway to the services and online information of the German Federal Administration and other public agencies. Whereas the German version is focussing on frequently used services like job offerings in the public sector or lists of public tenders, we follow a more general approach in the English version. Bearing in mind that the user of the English version is likely to live abroad we try to give more general information about our country as well as special information about administrative structures and e-government services that are available through the internet.
The portal bund.de was developed as a basic component of the e-government initiative of the Federal Government – BundOnline 2005. The aim of this initiative, launched at the Expo 2000, was to render all e-government services accessible by 2005. They can now easily be located via the common gateway www.bund.de.
It is not only the Federal Government but also the federal states (Länder) and the municipalities that have launched the most varied e-government projects. In order to achieve an integrated e-government structure, the federal government, the federal states and the municipalities decided in summer 2003 to develop the joint e-government strategy "Deutschland-Online". The web portal bund.de is an active partner of Deutschland-Online and is involved in the implementation of harmonisation and networking aims.

I haven't the foggiest clue about the John Terry case, but the BBC reporting of what he is supposed to have said on the field is side-splittingly awful. It runs "f-word, black, c-word".
Who the f-word does this protect? Or whose sensibilties is it meant to uphold?
Ok let's imagine that you are listening to some news bulletin with your 10 year old. S/he says what an f-word, mummy? Do you then lie and say "oh it means funny word" or do you tell the truth and say "fucK'?
And what is the down side of telling the truth? Either they know the score, or they don't...so where is the corruption? (It reminds me, as I think I've said before, of going to Greece with the kids 20 years ago, and finding that all the Greek toddlers were supping their Coke and crisps in front of films that no under-16 would get into in the UK..and no apparent harm was being done to the Greek children.)

jups, I posted this pic somewhere else aswell, but I don' t see alot of old faces that I know from waaaaay back when I made my Fett.
But those guys do know what is good and what isn' t. I' ve basically finished up on my custom... while I don' t really like customs... I just hoped some of those die-hard nitty-gritty Fett fans could appreciate what I tried to do. I wanted to make a Fett tribute. I don' t have the faintest idea what the characters name is... where it's from... yeah... from my head, mixed with Fett and Clint Eastwood (the poncho).
I got some FP gaunts here that I intend to make-up for this costume. The things wear now are just there for an upcoming event.
so please... here it is, RBF' s ROTJ Fett (with brutally dumb gloves) and his spin-off Boba Fett costume... as he almost dislikes the very name... Mandalorian...

Augusta, Ga. • The 14-year-old from China isn't going anywhere in a hurry. And this Masters is still a long way from taking shape.
Despite being the first player at Augusta National to get hit with a one-shot penalty for slow play, teen sensation Guan Tianlang still made history Friday as the youngest player to make the cut in a PGA Tour-sanctioned event.
And it came down to the last shot of a wild and windy day.
Jason Day could have sent the kid home early with a birdie from just off the front of the green on the 18th hole. But the Australian was wide left and tapped in for par, giving him a 4-under 68 and a one-shot lead over fellow Aussie Marc Leishman and the ageless Fred Couples. The par meant that Guan, who had one shot added to his score on the 17th hole for his second bad time of the round, made the cut under the 10-shot rule.
"If I can make it, I would be really happy for it," Guan said some five hours earlier. "But if I didn't make it, it's still a great week."
He's now part of a weekend at Augusta that should be as dynamic as ever.
Day was at 6-under 138, and 18 players were within four shots of the lead, including Tiger Woods.
Woods moved into a share of the lead with a two-putt birdie on the eighth hole, and his game looked to be as sharp as ever perhaps too sharp. Right when it looked like he might take the outright lead, Woods hit a lob wedge that was so perfect it hit the flag on the par-5 15th and caromed backward off the green and into the water. Instead of having a short birdie putt, he had to scramble to save bogey.
Woods posed over another shot on the 18th and was stunned to see it hop onto the upper shelf, leading to his second three-putt bogey of the week. He had to settle for a 71, though he was still only three shots out of the lead.
"My score doesn't quite indicate how well I played today," Woods said.
Day, a runner-up at the Masters two years ago, can be one of the most exciting players in golf when his game is on, and he was firing at flags from everywhere Friday. Even from the pine straw under the trees on the dangerous 11th, the Aussie took dead aim at the pin and set up a rare birdie to join the leaders.
His only blunder was hitting into the water short of the 12th, though he still managed to escape with bogey, and then he fired a 4-wood low enough to stay below the trees and avoid the wind on the 13th, setting up a two-putt birdie.
He was cognizant of the guys behind him Woods included though just as much pressure comes from trying to be the first Australian in a green jacket.
"The moment I start worrying about other players is the moment I start losing focus on what I need to do, and when I do that, I'll start making bogeys," Day said. "It's obviously great to have the lead. I'm very excited for the challenge over the next two days. It really is exciting to have the opportunity to win the Masters. I'm very, very happy where I am right now."
The 53-year-old Couples, who shared the 36-hole lead last year at the Masters, birdied the 18th hole for a 71 and will play in the final group.
"I did tee off Thursday with the idea of playing well, and now it's Friday afternoon late. I'm surprised, but I'm not going to freak out over it," Couples said.
Former Masters champion Angel Cabrera birdied five of his last six holes for a 69 and was in the group two shots behind, along with former U.S. Open champion Jim Furyk (71) and Brandt Snedeker (70). Woods was at 3-under 141 with six others, including Adam Scott (72), Lee Westwood (71) and Justin Rose (71).
And still in the mix was Rory McIlroy, who turned his fortunes around with a 5-wood from about 275 yards that set up a short eagle putt. He added three more birdies on the back nine and had a 70, leaving him only four shots out of the lead going into the weekend.
"Anything under par today was going to be a good score," McIlroy said.
The hole locations were severe in spots, with one pin tucked on top of a mound toward the front of the fifth green. The par 5s played into an opposite wind on the back nine, and they were not easy to reach. Furyk got home in two on the 15th hole Thursday with a hybrid. He used that same club to lay up on Friday.
Such tough conditions made the performance of Guan that much more impressive. He had a respectable 75, which included the one-shot penalty.
And for the longest time, it looked like it might be costly.
Day's 68 was the lowest score of the round, with conditions so tricky that only five players broke 70.
"It just feels like every shot is the biggest shot you've ever hit in your life out there," Day said. "It's really, really difficult. I'm just glad to be in the clubhouse right now."
One player who didn't recover was Sergio Garcia, who opened with a 66. One day after six birdies and no bogeys, he had four bogeys and no birdies. One day after he saw so many shots go where he was aiming, he couldn't cope with the wind.

The planet is slowly being choked up by the overproduction and the chronic waste of man... and our little country is no exception.
In Ireland there is a mobile phone for every third person in the Republic alone, and many of those are changed every year for no good reason than they "are out of date", or have minor problems with them.
This is borne out by the fact that a town such as Tullamore can support no less than three shops selling nothing but mobile phones... whats happening to the old ones?

TF2 Connexion Movie Contest 2 powered by ROCCAT
TF2 Connexion, the French TF2 community, would like to present the second edition of our TF2 Connexion Movie Contest powered by ROCCAT, our German Sponsor.Ladies and gentlemen,
Last year entries from AMS, Saladeauthon & .Cali and Grid were the three chosen from a total of 23 participants.
This year, the TF2C Movie Contest is open for everyone (not only for European moviemakers as last year), aimed at all TF2 communities.
This is why we can count on 7 international judges :
– Salamancer and Marxist (TeamFortressTV staff)
– Kaneco (Founder of Comp.tf)
– Huhy (Moviemaker)
– The french trio Remitche (Caster), Kustom3 (Prem Medic) and Twiggy (Caster)
The entries will be graded on the quality of the frags, music and the editing.
First : 150€ + ROCCAT Keyboard Ryos MK Glow
Second : 25€ + ROCCAT Gaming Mouse Kone XTD Optical
Highest placed Frenchman: 25€ + ROCCAT In-ear Headset Syva
The contest begins now and the deadline is fixed at September 30th 2014 on 23:59 CEST (UTC+2).
If you want more information, feel free to check our thread in ETF2L forum or TeamFortressTV forum.
May the airshots be with you!
Frequently Asked Questions :
When does the contest begin ?
Beginning date: Now!
Deadline: Thursday 30th September 2014 on 23:59 CEST (UTC+2).
The results will be announced in October.
What are the competition's rules regarding content ?
The TF2 Connexion Movie Contest powered by ROCCAT is a TF2-related video contest.
One does not necessarily have to make a fragmovie. It could be a simple fragshow or a jumping movie, however, we do not accept SFM-exclusive movies, although you can still use SFM in your video.
There is a length limit : Under 10 minutes.
How do I make my video eligible for this contest ?
You must use the TF2C/ ROCCAT intro at the beginning of your video.
TF2 Connexion Download link
Mediafire Download link
MEGA Download link
You can edit the intro (music, background) but you need to keep the animation and the visibility of these two logos.
The title of your video on Youtube must include the mention "#TF2Connexion Contest".
The video submission needs to be in the TF2C thread (french), ETF2L thread (european and others) or TFTV thread (american).
I'm new in editing and I don't have any contacts to make a democall ?
Last year's competition saw some beginners have problems with acquiring frags in order to make movies. We have come up with a way to fix that!
Thanks to Beater we now have a demopack from the ESEA Season 16 LAN (link).
Our French winner, Saladeauthon has offered his demopack as well (link).
Of course, it's not necessary to use these demos but it surely can help some of you to make fragmovies.
Can I do multiple entries ?
You have only one entry for this contest. However, two or more moviemakers can work in one entry.
How will judges evaluate the entries ?
Each of our 7 judges will attempt to grade the movie according to: editing, frag quality, and personal impressions.
Finally, an average mark will be generated for each movie in order to rank them.
Why is there a category for best Frenchman in this contest?
ROCCAT, the german manufacturer of gaming peripherals, is powering this contest instead of on our side. Actually, our partner is focused on the French TF2 community and especially the French league. After discussion with our sponsor, ROCCAT agreed to help us in this international project and this justifies the French place.
What countries are eligible to win ROCCAT gear ?
For this edition, the only countries eligible to win gear from ROCCAT are the following:
– France
– Belgium
– United-Kingdom
– Germany
– Spain
– Italy
– Switzerland
– Austria
If a winner resides outside of these countries, he/ she is not eligible to receive gear from ROCCAT due to the high cost of shipping.
Cash prizes can be won by anyone regardless of your country. Half from the community and the other half from an anonymous donor (who has decided the split of the cashprize especially for the first place). Thus, we will try to renegotiate the intial cash prize. Where currency conversion is an issue, we can renegotiate the cash prize into an equivalent; either games and/or tf2 items.
If a French movie maker takes the first or second place, what happens to the French dedicated place ?
In that case, the highest Frenchman prize will be awarded to the third ranked entry.
TF2 Connexion staff and ROCCAT say good luck to all TF2 moviemakers !

Fox hosts GOP-backed Tea Party Express to deny that tea party is "Astroturf"
Research ››› ››› JOCELYN FONG
Fox & Friends hosted Amy Kremer of the Tea Party Express to rebut charges that some of the tea party movement is orchestrated by the Republican Party. Kremer insisted that "this is a true, genuine, grassroots movement," but, in fact, the Tea Party Express was launched by Republican consultants and has been criticized by other conservative activists for its partisan ties to Republicans.
Fox & Friends hosts Tea Party Express' Kremer, who says, "[T]his is a true, genuine, grassroots movement"
From the March 1 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:
GRETCHEN CARLSON (co-host): We're joined by the director of the Tea Party Express Grassroots and Coalition, Amy Kremer. Good morning to you, Amy.
KREMER: Good morning, Gretchen.
CARLSON: As someone so involved with the tea party movement and having heard Nancy Pelosi call you Astroturf before, about six months ago, what was your reaction when you heard her say that she may have some things in common with you?
KREMER: I was shocked. I think most people within the movement are shocked. She's a little delusional. There's not much that she has in common with us. You know, I just -- I can't believe that she would think that she would. She brings up the special interests, and, you know, their ruling with the Supreme Court. Honest to goodness, that's not what we've been focused on.
STEVE DOOCY (co-host): Sure.
KREMER: We've been focused on our core principles and values of fiscal responsibility, limited government, free markets, and most importantly, recently, health care. I don't recall anybody mentioning anything about the special interests lately.
DOOCY: Right. Amy, do you agree with her that some of the tea party stuff is orchestrated by the GOP headquarters?
KREMER: Absolutely not. I'm sure she would like to think so, but it's not. I mean, this is a true, genuine, grassroots movement.
DOOCY: Right.
KREMER: We're not Astroturf. We're not being orchestrated by anyone or anything, and we're going to continue to grow.
But Tea Party Express was launched by Republican consultants
Tea Party Express run by Republican PAC. The Associated Press reported in October 2008 that Our Country Deserves Better PAC, which launched the Tea Party Express, "was formed in August [2008] by California political consultant Sal Russo and former California Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian." As their OCDB biographies note, Russo is a veteran Republican consultant and Kaloogian served as a Republican.
OCDB's mission is to oppose Obama and "Democratic Congress." On its "About Us" page, OCDB states that "we must stand up to Barack Obama and the Democrat-controlled Congress." The PAC also solicits contributions by stating, "Help us fight the Democratic Congress!" NPR reported on September 26, 2008, that OCDB's website then said "it has one objective: to defeat Obama." During the 2008 campaign, the PAC hosted "patriotic, pro-McCain/Palin rallies" to "Stop Obama."
OCDB campaigned for Republican Tedisco. OCDB "campaign[ed]" "on behalf of" Republican New York congressional candidate Jim Tedisco in March by "broadcasting television and radio advertisements. ... Total ad buy is expected to reach well into the hundreds of thousands by Election Day."
TPM: Majority of OCDB spending in recent reporting period "went to GOP firm that created it." On December 28, 2009, Zachary Roth reported for Talking Points memo that "[t]he political action committee behind the Tea Party Express (TPE) -- which already has been slammed as inauthentic and corporate-controlled by rival factions in the Tea Party movement -- directed almost two thirds of its spending during a recent reporting period back to the Republican consulting firm that created the PAC in the first place." Roth further wrote:
Our Country Deserves Better (OCDB) spent around $1.33 million from July through November, according to FEC filings examined by TPMmuckraker. Of that sum, a total of $857,122 went to Sacramento-based GOP political consulting firm Russo, Marsh, and Associates, or people associated with it.
OCDB, which built the Tea Party Express, is essentially a Russo, Marsh creation, as we've detailed. The PAC's site was registered in July 2008 by Sal Russo, the firm's founder. That site also lists Russo as the PAC's "chief strategist." Tea Party Express fundraising emails, sent by OCDB and obtained by TPMmuckraker, come from another Russo, Marsh employee, Joe Wierzbicki.
Other tea party groups reportedly accuse Tea Party Express of being "sham organization" for GOP
Tea Party Express reportedly seen by other conservative activists as "sham organization" pushing "partisan Republican agenda." On October 9, 2009, David Weigel reported for The Washington Independent that other tea party activists see the Tea Party Express as "a scheme for Republican strategists and candidates to take advantage of a movement that was chugging along fine without them":
An argument has broken out, perhaps inevitably, between Tea Party activists and one of the groups that has laid claim to the Tea Party mantle. The self-described grassroots activists in Tea Party Patriots and the American Liberty Alliance see the Tea Party Express as a sham organization, using the political heft of the movement to push a bland, partisan Republican agenda. Privately and publicly, they accuse the Tea Party Express of being an "astroturf" outfit, a scheme for Republican strategists and candidates to take advantage of a movement that was chugging along fine without them.
National Precinct Alliance director called Tea Party Express a "Republican National Committee-related group." On January 25, The New York Times reported that Philip Glass, the director of conservative group National Precinct Alliance, announced that his organization would not participate in the National Tea Party Convention. The article reported: "Mr. Glass said he was also concerned about the role in the convention of groups like Tea Party Express, which has held rallies across the country through two bus tours, and FreedomWorks, a Tea Party umbrella. He called them 'Republican National Committee-related groups,' and added, 'At best, it creates the appearance of an R.N.C. hijacking; at worst, it is one.' "
Meckler of Tea Party Patriots on Tea Party Express: "[T]hey raise money for Republicans." Weigel reported on October 2, 2009, that Mark Meckler, a national coordinator for Tea Party Patriots, said, "Tea Party Patriots are very dissatisfied with the Republican Party -- we have nothing against Our Country Deserves Better PAC, but they raise money for Republicans."
Fox News aggressively promotes Tea Party Express tour
Fox News has aggressively promoted the Tea Party Express tours. Fox News, Fox Business, Fox Nation, and FoxNews.com have promoted the tours, going so far as to cheerlead for the protests and advertise the tea party schedule so viewers "can be a part" of the events. Indeed, a Fox News producer was even caught coaching a crowd to cheer during a stop of the Tea Party Express.
Fox Nation promoting Tea Party Express III. Fox Nation has promoted the third national tour, which begins March 27 in Searchlight, Nevada, and ends April 15 in Washington, D.C.
In turn, the organizers of Tea Party Express have used Fox's coverage for fundraising. The OCDB PAC used Fox News' coverage of its Tea Party Express to fundraise in a July 29, 2009, email.

Those are both fine 22s. You might also want to check out the Ruger MkIII. 22/45 and the Browning Buckmark. Walther also makes a good 22 pistola - it's the one Ruger copied for the SR-22.
I own a Rughr MkII, and while it's fun to shoot, it's a PIA to reassemble after cleaning.
My next .22 pistol will be a revolver - the 8-shot Ruger SP-101 22. The beauty of the revolver is you can shoot a variety of .22 ammo - you're not limited to .22LR only like you are in a semi-auto handgun.
Good luck on your 22 hunt.

One or two of the guys I work with bought the 19 and later bought the 26 because they said the 26 was so much easier to conceal, but I only have the 26 so I can't speak from personal experience. I have never had any trouble concealing my 26 though.
I have a 23 but want a 9mm is one better for cc then the other
One or two of the guys I work with bought the 19 and later bought the 26 because they said the 26 was so much easier to conceal, but I only have the 26 so I can't speak from personal experience. I have never had any trouble concealing my 26 though.
I would go 19.
I tend to have trouble shooting the small pistols. I shot a 19 at the range last weekend and it is not much different than shooting a 17. That and the 19 holds 15+1 rounds so you get a good round count.
I have heard that you can use +P+ ammo in Glocks, but I don't know for sure. But if you can you could use Corbon DPX ammo for SD. http://www.hipowersandhandguns.com/C...09mm%20115.htm
It has pressures that match 40sw and it opens up to or near 45 caliber. And you can buy the inexpensive 9mm range rounds for practice.
I don't know what ammo prices are in your area. But here 45 and 40 are about 25.00 for 50 rounds after tax. But 9mm is still around 10.00 a box of 50.
Gong back, the article says this.So at some point its diameter was larger than a 45 and it was fired from a Glock so there should be no problem.The 115-gr. DPX was fired into water from a Browning Hi Power from the very slightly slower Barsto match barrel. It's expanded dimensions: 0.61 x 0.59 x 0.50" tall. It lost no weight. As the petals bent outward before folding rearward, the expanded bullet would have measured at least 0.755" across at least for some of its penetration depth. Notice that the bullet still has some "length" to it; this aids penetration. The expanded bullets from the Glock 26 were virtually identical. The average velocities attained by both guns seem with within the DPX bullet's operating velocity envelope.
I converted my 27 (40 cal) to 9 mm. I love my 27's flawless performance, but it feels like a brick to me. I tried carrying it and didn't care to try it again. But last week I ordered a "combat" holster from cheaper than doit. I've been leaning J frame .32 magnum carry or lcp lately.
chaddy187 - are you planning to carry in an IWB, OWB or some other sort of holster? That might help some of the more seasoned CCW people here make suggestions. For the record, I've not carried yet though I'm taking a CCW course in a few weeks.
There's no question that the 26 is easier to conceal due to its smaller size but depending on your situation, you might be able to easily conceal the 19 and benefit from the higher-capacity mags and also the greater energy generated by the 19 due to the higher muzzle velocity.
If you want to expand your capabilities, then get the G26. The short grip (which takes a bit of getting used to, by the way) makes it possible to hide the G26 under a light t-shirt, where the G23/G19 butt might stick out and print, compromising your CCW. The littlest Glocks actually shoot VERY well for their size; more like a compact-size service gun than a small-ish concealment weapon. I've seen a few that would out-shoot regular service-size guns, when fed their favorite ammo and guided by competent hands, of course.
I had a guy with a timer run me through a few practice strings of a close-distance, multiple-target match with both guns (back-to-back), once upon a time. My times with the G26 were consistently better than the G19 I had planned to use, and the hits were all where I wanted them (the A-zone is fairly large, up close). I used the G26 and managed a second-place finish; the bigger gun wouldn't have helped at all, as far as I could tell.
The longer and higher-capacity G19 or G17 mags can be used in the G26 if total-round-count is a concern; if you carry the longer mag(s) as your reload, concealment isn't compromised.
I own and carry (occasionally) the glock 19. I can only really conceal it well in winter clothing, never in summer. My shooting buddy carries the 26 and shoots it as well as i shoot my 19. I shoot his 26 adaquately, and seriously consider buying one to use for CC. With more practice I am confident that i will be able to shoot it as well as my 19, and it definitely conceals better.
I have a 26 and would highly recommend it to be considered. Especially since you have a 23 sized gun to use.
I also just picked up a 26 for CC. My wife shoots it with the normal mags and I use the ones with the pinky extension. Carries great too.
If you want two calibers in a G23, pick up a Lone Wolf Distributors conversion barrel for $100 or so and snag a few 9mm mags for a G19, G17, or G18 (the 33 rounders). If you get the 26, by all means go ahead, but if you're staying with the same size, I'd just grab a conversion barrel. I have a G27 and carry it daily. I am considering buying a G23 and purchasing conversion barrels for both just for the flexibility of it. For two guns (let's say $500 each) you have a grand invested. Buy two barrels and some mags (we'll say about $200 each to allow for shipping, tax, etc.) you have a total of $1400 invested in two different frame sizes with two different calibers each, effectively making 4 guns. Sure you can't shoot them all at the same time, but a barrel swap is only 15 seconds away, and who can hold more than two guns at the same time anyway? lol Just my .02, but I think it's worth considering since the Glocks are such a modular design from the factory.
I own them both. For carrying I would go for the 26. Very easy to conceal. The 26 with a good gun belt and holster. You won't be sorry.


text: Hello all -- new skating dad here, I suppose. My daughter, who is 12, has been taking group skating lessons along with a practice session once a week and then going to open skating for a couple of years. She is on the cusp of moving on to what I guess they call 'contract ice' and a coach. The expenses before were not cheap but pretty reasonable. These new expenses are astronomical. The coach, for a 30 minute lesson per week, plus contract ice is close to $300 per month plus there are costumes, skates, etc etc. In addition, she wants to skate in the synchronized skating team which is another $120 per month plus $805 for 'competition costs'. There is no way I can or will pay close to $7000 per year for her to do these things. We would have to sacrifice everything else from family vacations to saving for college and our retirement. We have a son who is 9 and he plays soccer which costs maybe $300 for the entire year. It's hardly fair to him to be spending 20 times what we spend on his activities on our daughter's activities. How does one set a reasonable budget and prioritize these sorts of things? Thanks for any support. I am in a state of financial shock. (I re-posted this here from another location at the suggestion of another member of the forum) - sorry for the repeat posting.

Hey folks,
(here's a pic from my helmet for reference. The yellows on the back are the base color. I plan to weather it a bit (cause I like it dirty) but it seems to work fine.)
I'm working on the rear part of my helmet, particularly the yellow highlights etc. Well I mixed a color, dabbed it around, etc. This took about 45 minutes. Then I go in with the x-acto to clean up the edges and make it look more random and etched etc and what do I find out? If you just scratch through to the base resin color it looks almost dead-on! The frickin' helmet is a subdued yellow! I'm such an idiot.
Mask it off, scratch through to the base, whatever. It's an excellent color and saves trying to mix it up.
Pics later,
Hope this helps,

Lydia Lunch, holy crap, that's awesome. Good for you. Listening right now ...
What a fascinating woman - really liked this episode, it's definitely one I'll be re-listening to again and again. She has a refreshing view on life that I don't appropriate, but I do appreciate.
I can never throw away anything, I love having piles of shredded, colorful, ripped paper and boxes of googly eyes, stickers, glitter and buttons. I adore owning "junk", quarter-filled pots of paint and dried paintbrushes; crinkle-cut broken scissors and scratched glass jars.
I love drawers of "stuff".

Policies & Security : Choosing Good Passwords
The object when choosing a password is to make it as difficult as possible for a would-be intruder to make educated guesses about what you've chosen. This leaves him no alternative but a brute-force search, trying every possible combination of letters, numbers, and punctuation. A search of this sort, even conducted on a machine that could try one million passwords per second (some parallel processors are now capable of 400,000 per second) would require, on the average, over one hundred years to complete. Some guidelines:
- use your login name in any form (as-is, reversed, capitalized, doubled, etc.).
- use your first or last name in any form.
- use your spouse's or child's name.
- use your pet's name.
- use other information easily obtained about you. This includes license plate numbers, telephone numbers, social security numbers, the brand of your automobile, the name of the street you live on, etc.
- use a password of all digits, or all the same letter. This significantly decreases the search time for an intruder.
- use a word contained in (English or foreign language) dictionaries, spelling lists, or other lists of words.
- use a password shorter than six characters.
- use a password with mixed-case alphabetic.
- use a password with non-alphabetic characters, e.g., digits or punctuation.
- use a password that is easy to remember, so you don't have to write it down.
- use a password that you can type quickly, without having to look at the keyboard. This makes it harder for someone to steal your password by watching over your shoulder.
Although this list may seem to restrict passwords to an extreme, there are several methods for choosing secure, easy-to-remember passwords that obey the above rules.
- It's very important that the password be easy to remember so that you're not tempted to write it down.
- Some tips:
- Think of a sentence you can remember
- Throw in a special character or two
- Use numbers in place of words like 4 instead of for, fore, four or 2 in place of to, too, two
- You can also use the number 1 in place of an I or an L
Some examples:Lunch usually costs me $10 or less (Lucm$10ol)
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! (L1s!L1s!L1s!)
It Takes Two is my favorite song (IT2!imfs)
It's never too late! (Snvr2L8!)
Where shall I go on vacation this year (w?s1goVty)
Such a password should then be examined in the light of the above guidelines in case any are violated by accident. For example, if the sentence had been:
How older US educators sit
the resulting password "HoUSe.s" contains enough information to make life easier for an intruder because the acronym spells a word found in the dictionary.
To protect your files, most UVA-Wise password systems only accept new passwords that conform to the following rules:
- Must be at least 8 characters long.
- Must not consist of all lowercase, or all uppercase characters, all digits, or all punctuation characters.
- Must use a password with non-alphabetic characters, e.g., digits or punctuation.
- Must not be part of the local computer's name.
- Must not match anything in your UNIX account information, such as your login name or an item from your "finger" data entry (full name, login shell, home directory).
- Must not be in the system's spelling dictionary - unless it has some uppercase letters other than the first character. For example, "Explain" would be rejected but "exPlain" would be accepted.
- Must not have more than 2 characters repeated in a row - thus "ABCaaa" would be rejected.
These rules will probably be expanded to be more stringent in the future.

Nebraska Juvenile Court Records, 1994 (ICPSR 6885)
Principal Investigator(s): National Center for Juvenile Justice; Nebraska Commission on Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice
This data collection describes in quantitative terms the volume of juvenile cases disposed in 1994 by courts having jurisdiction over juvenile matters (delinquency, status offense, and dependency cases) in Nebraska. The Juvenile Court Reporting System was inaugurated in 1971 by the Nebraska Commission on Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice to collect data from juvenile justice agencies on each case disposed during the previous calendar year and reported to the Commission. The data are used by the Commission in juvenile justice planning, and by county and juvenile courts, juvenile probation offices, private and public agencies, and industry interested in juvenile involvement in the state's juvenile courts. Cases involving individuals under age 18 that were filed directly in district courts or juvenile traffic offenses or citations were not included. The data include a record of each case processed with or without filing a petition and include a county code, youth's date of birth, age at referral, sex, date of referral, date of disposition, and case disposition.

Sad to hear. Semper Fi.
(Your post is mistitled, it's USMC...)
very sad, thoughts and prayers are with his family.
( and it is USCM not USMC )
no it's supposed to be uscm. from the film aliens. always sad news.
gotcha, my bad. I'm a Marine myself, so naturally I thought it was USMC.
I'm sorry to hear that.
So sorry to hear this, I remember meeting him @ DCON 06' with Bounty's Hunted (Rex) and thought he was such an incredibly nice guy, I was even in my Hellboy costume and he talked to me like we were just 2 buds having a beer at the bar.
I had a great time chatting to Chris at Dcon 07. What a blow this is. He was a super nice bloke and so enthusiastic about meeting new people and encouraging them. Thanks for the link - heart wrenching though.

Madison school district approves contracts with unions
Collective bargaining made possible by recent Act 10 ruling
MADISON, Wis. - The Madison Metropolitan School District's employee unions have approved new contracts that were reached through collective bargaining.
Madison Metropolitan School District Interim Superintendent Jane Belmore said that because of the recent court ruling on Act 10, the Board of Education decided that it was in the best interest of the district to collectively bargain with its employee unions.
AFSCME Local 60, which represents non-teacher union positions in the school district, approved the contract around noon Thursday.
"The main objective was to extend the contract for one more year and that we accomplished," said Richard Nelson, of AFSCME Local 60.
All seven bargaining units represented by Madison Teachers Inc. or AFSCME Local 60 have ratified one-year deals through 2014.
Nelson said with the ruling on Act 10 hanging in the balance, they had to act quickly.
"We had to assume we had a narrow window in which to negotiate an extension in our contract," Nelson said.
The new contract maintains current wages and benefits and limits the district's ability to increase health care premiums. The new agreement gives the district the ability to raise wages in the future based on the financial outlook of the district.
"We have gained flexibility in that area, and I think that is a benefit to our students and teachers as well," said Belmore. "At the same time, we've maintained our fiscal levels, our funding and monetary procedures, at the same level as they are right now."
Dane County Judge Juan Colas called parts of Act 10 unconstitutional Sept. 14. Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen has asked for a stay of that decision and, while the judge considers that request, unions are coming to the bargaining table on new contracts once unthinkable under Act 10.
Nelson said MTI and AFSCME Local 60 shared similar concerns.
"You're never really pleased if you are in a forced situation that you had to do things very rapidly and hopefully it's within the best interest of the people you're representing," Nelson said.
Belmore described the contract as cost-neutral. She said the district was able to gain flexibility while maintaining teachers' current salary, schedule and benefits.
"We were able to modify somewhat the hiring process, so we will be able to hire externally at a much sooner time. In the past, this has been a problem for us because we often miss qualified candidates and it's also an effort to diversify our workforce," Belmore said.
Nelson said if the courts uphold the ruling overturning Act 10, the union will begin the process of renegotiating its contract in the spring of 2014.

Christine Magnuson
Jan. 10, 2005
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- The No. 23 Lady Vol swimming and diving team bounced back from its loss at Northwestern on Saturday, defeating SEC foe Arkansas on Monday, 121-111. UT dominated the meet, winning seven of the first 11 events, before swimming the final two events exhibition.
"Coming off our performances on Saturday night, it was great to come down to Fayetteville really swim well," Head Coach Dan Colella said. "We had a few individuals sick that were, so everyone rose to the occasion. We were swimming extremely fast. The team was relaxed, enjoying themselves and having fun on the sideline. We are just really pleased with the performances from this weekend."
The meet kicked off with the 200y medley relay, an event which UT would use to lay the foundation for a successful day. The quartet of Jacque Fessel (Cincinnati, Ohio), Tiffany Clay (Mason, Ohio), Christine Magnuson (Tinley Park, Ill.) and Abbi Terveer (Lima, Ohio) clocked a time of 1:45.39 to take home first place. It was the third-fastest time this year for the Big Orange. Right behind them was the Big Orange tandem made of Danyelle Vincent (Rohnert Park, Calif.), Sallye Hartman (Gates, Tenn.), Tatiana Athayde (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and Laura Fehrman (St. Charles, Ill.), who finished in 1:49.86, picking up four points and giving UT the early 15-2 lead.
Next up in the pool were the freestylers, for the 1,000 yard event. Senior Julia Stowers (Knoxville, Tenn.) put on a show for the spectators, as she won in a time of 9:52.35, which shattered the Arkansas Natatorium record of 10:01.04 set in 2003. Arkansas' Whitney Lynn, the previous record holder, claimed second place though Misty Cain (Marietta, Ga.) and Elizabeth Wueste (Norcross, Ga.) were close behind and brought home third and fourth, respectively, extending the Lady Vol advantage to 29-6.
Stowers was not done, though, as less than five minutes later the Knoxville native hit the pool again for the 200y freestyle. Not only did she win, but the time of 1:50.83 provisionally qualified her for the NCAA Championships. Magnuson just missed out on joining her, though she did set a personal record en route to the second-place showing. Sarah Ridgeway (St. Croix, Virgin Islands) held on to fourth place with a time of 1:59.48 to pick up two additional points. After just three events, Tennessee had set the tone for the meet, as it had jumped out to the commanding 44-10 lead.
Arkansas would close the margin slightly in the 50y freestyle, as Zsuzsa Csobanki won the event. However, Senior Jessica Blevins (Bluefield, W. Va.) set a PR with a time of 24.26 to take second, and Elizabeth Christy (Indianapolis, Ind.) snared third place with a time of 24.54 in her first action all year in 50y free. Hartman became the third Lady Vol scorer in the event, earning fifth place in a PR time of 24.90. Heading into the 200y IM, the score now stood, 52-21, in favor of Team Orange.
Determined not to let the Lady Razorbacks crawl back into the meet, UT claimed three of the top four slots in the event. Megan Tomes (Cincinnati, Ohio) cruised to the victory, winning by more than four seconds. Betsy Brockman (Batavia, Ohio) and Clay notched third and fourth-place showings, helping UT increase the lead to 66-25.
The divers then took center stage for the one-meter event. Lauren LeRoy (Oshkosh, Wis.) performed well, taking second place with a total of 249.15. Teammate Brittany Fulmer held on for third place, finishing with a score of 226.50. With just seven events remaining, Tennessee was in complete control, as they now led 73-37.
"Very happy with the way the divers performed," Diving Coach Dave Parrington said. "I'm also happy with their progress."
The Lady Vols would not let up, however, as Magnuson used another PR to claim the title in the 100y butterfly. She finished in 56.31, besting her previous time of 56.57. Also scoring points for the Big Orange were Athayde, who picked up three points and Ashley Yeager (Mechanicsburg, Pa.), who snagged additional point to make the score 86-43.
In the 100y freestyle, Tomes became the second UT swimmer to post an NCAA provisional qualifying time, as the sophomore finished in 51.04 to top the field. Blevins took home points for the Big Orange for the second time on the day, this time with a third-place finish while Christy bagged two points as she took fourth. Fehrman set a PR in the event with a time of 53.92, good enough for fifth place. UT's solid performance in the event had inched the Orange and White closer to victory, as the Lady Vols now led the Lady' Backs, 100-48.
In the 100y backstroke, UA would try to stage a rally, as it took home first place. However, Stowers and Vincent locked up second and third place, respectively, pushing UT even closer toward the win. With just four events remaining, a Lady Vol win was imminent, as the advantage now stood at 107-60.
Next up in the pool were the 500y freestylers. UA's Lynn claimed her first title of the day though Cain, Lutz and Ridgeway finished two-three-four- to equal Lynn's nine points and make the score, 116-68, in favor of UT.
The Big Orange would then turn to its divers to lock up the victory, and they would not fail. LeRoy claimed second place, while Fulmer finished fifth. The five points brought UT's total to 121 on the day and officially put the meet away.
However, even with the victory secure, the Lady Vols would continue to swim hard. Clay, Hartman and Brockman, all swimming exhibition, touched the wall first, second and third in the 100y breaststroke. Arkansas picked up 13 points, putting the score at 121-96.
The meet would then come to a close with the 200y freestyle relay. Tennessee, again swimming exhibition, touched the wall first as Terveer, Christy, Blevins and Tomes finished in a time of 1:36.48, the fourth-fastest time on the year. UA picked up an additional 15 points, to make the final tally 121-111.
The Lady Vols will now return home to Knoxville and play host to LSU and Virginia on Saturday with "Senior Day." The meet is scheduled to begin at noon.


text: How about moving the Pistons to Seattle and the Hornets to Detroit? Beyond getting perhaps the best PG around for Stuckey we get a decent C, a good PF and get rid of the BFF:s at the same time. It would solve pretty much all of the biggest issues discussed here. Just putting some out of the box-thinking out there.
