In retrospect that sounds kinda dirty, but I was five years old, and from a family with about 45 cousins, believe me it was one of the least dirty tricks they ever showed me.
awww, those where the days. Hibicus stamen anyone?
We did the same thing with Honeysuckle - nice signature.
Re: Luau Fire Breather
Pretty cool, but it kind of looks like it might have more than 6 colors. Not sure how well it would print/if they can print it. Gets my vote though.

On a side note, I resubmitted my design and pulled the first entry...and then I read your comment in the thread. That's twice today! I've got a lot to learn about this woot business.
Ahhhh... earthart. I always seem to be just a tad too late when I reply to you. (Lost internet access for a short time due to Hurricane Hanna most likely.) Yes. I thought you were planning to keep both designs up for vote for a few hours to see which one garnered more votes. Some folks do that since you have 24 hours to pull one. But, you'll know this for next time, right?

SydneyB wrote:Wow. That was a lot to read.
Ok, first off, I want you to know that I voted for it BEFORE I read *ANY* of the comments. Then I started reading. And getting unhappy. I started feeling that maybe there was something wrong with *ME* because I liked this design. I am so very glad that you posted your sketches, and "proved" that these are hand-done drawings, and not a stencil or cut-out (I was unfairly accused of that, one derby well past).
In any case, who CARES if there are other similar shirts? Am I only allowed to own ONE flower shirt? ONE Koi shirt, etc? What if it's in the wash? People are voting for this because it is a beautiful shirt, nice colors, nice placement... just very nice.
As for the people who say you can get these for $5 on "the big island"? Good for them. I live in New York City. The subway doesn't go there.
Now, having said that I think this is a beautiful, and WEARABLE design, I will take this opportunity to say something that I have been holding my tongue on for some time now. There is one particular artist who often submits his works here. I do not care to mention names, which is why I never commented on any of his designs directly. I believe that his designs are VERY original, and extremely detailed, but the way he portrays them is, well, childish. I never understood why he zooms up into the fog every single time. His designs are interesting, as in I spend time looking at them (with interest), but I would never ever buy one. I have very similar quality drawings all over my fridge, drawn for me by my children, my nieces, nephews... well, you get the idea.
Now THIS design of yours I certainly would buy and wear. True the IDEA might not be "original" but it is very very well done. I hope it does well, and I would buy it were it to win. Please keep submitting designs!
P.S. Boni - DON'T LEAVE!!
Thank you for your support, SydneyB. I'm not familiar enough with everyone to know who you're referring to, but thank you for the encouragement.

I posted this before I saw what a bunch of other people said, and after having read that, I can see their point. It did not strike me at first, though. Her expression is WONDERFUL! and the design is beautiful. Maybe they are right, maybe you should try it with a little color, to make her look a little less flesh toned. I'm just not sure.

you're so right! next time, let's all just tattle on designs we don't like and say nothing to those who get fogged so that at the 11th hour (when they have no time to try for a resubmission) their "winning" entry gets brutally yanked from the rafters by TPTB. it'll hit them blind! what glee! we'll all relish in their being dejected and congratulate ourselves on saying nothing at all to have alerted the artist that they were being reported to the authorities.
*dries off from the dripping sarcasm*
this ain't preschool. people are going to be blunt. it's teh intranets and you're working with designers (i think we can all honestly confess to being snobbish when it comes to things we think are "bad design" or don't play by the same rules as we did) who are all in competition with each other. did you really think people were going to tip-toe around and NOT attack each others' designs?
Re: Fire Dancer
i would like it better if the figure were to blend into the shirt more (which, who can tell with on screen appearances?) and possibly have a couple of layers of highlight to it in reaction to the fire. the very flat shape of the person distracts me a lot from the fire.

Sorry, certainly didn't mean to offend anybody, I did change the style, simplified it a bit and used the blue color to give it that blacklight effect, so it looks more like paint than a tattoo. I thought that would be enough, but apparently not. It's more along the lines of immitation being the best form or flattery... monkey see monkey do ;)

Thanks! Unfortunately, I didn't get to throw paint at any walls for this one.
A couple were hand-done(in PS). But for most I just used some free textures and brush sets. A few of the splashes there were from a free brush set from Smashing Magazine. The larger ones I got from cgtextures.com Both great resources.

Green Bay Falls to Milwaukee in Four Sets
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Sophomore Mikaela Gunderson (Casco, Wis.) had a team-best 14 kills and freshman Shannon Hurley (Connelsville, Pa.) totaled 13, but Green Bay (12-13, 7-5 HL) was unable to defeat Horizon League leading Milwaukee (159, 11-1 HL) on Saturday night at the Kress Events Center, falling 3-1 (25-23, 24-26, 25-16, 25-21).
"I think we played good volleyball in spurts, but we just kind of went flat at times," Phoenix head coach Michaela Franklin said. "We need to combine that good volleyball with consistent passion and intensity. I thought Milwaukee stayed steady the entire time and that's what won the match for them."
The teams battled back and forth early in set one, with neither team leading by more than one until a kill from Hurley made it 21-19. Milwaukee responded with the next three points before Hurley tied the set at 22-22. The Panthers won three of the final four points to take the set 25-23. Gunderson had seven kills in the set for the Phoenix.
Green Bay jumped ahead early in set two, with two kills from Hurley and a kill from setter Emily Riese (Fond du Lac, Wis.) forcing a Panther timeout at 7-4. The lead extended to 9-4 before Milwaukee rallied to cut the deficit to 13-12. Sophomore Taylor Kasal (Westmont, Ill.) registered a kill and an ace as Green Bay scored the next three points to move in front 16-12.
Milwaukee rallied to tie the set at 23 and 24, but Hurley's ninth kill gave the Phoenix its second set point at 25-24 and a Panther error ended set two to even the match heading to intermission. Through two sets, Green Bay had 34 kills and a .274 hitting percentage while Milwaukee had 32 kills and a .275 hitting percentage.
It was Milwaukee that jumped out early in set three, claiming a 10-6 lead. Green Bay was able to close to two points but got no closer the rest of the set before falling 25-16.
Milwaukee jumped out in front 9-6 early in set four and while the teams played evenly from there, the Phoenix was unable to rally to tie the set or take the lead. The Panthers eventually closed to win the set 25-21.
Kasal also reached double figures with 10 kills, and Riese directed the Phoenix attack with 45 assists. Sophomore libero Jillian Bauer (Verona, Wis.) totaled 21 digs and Hurley added 13 for the double-double.
Prior to the match, the Phoenix honored six seniors – Monica Anderson (Cottage Grove, Wis.), Sabrina Marunowski (Milwaukee, Wis.), Katie Mroczenski (New Berlin, Wis.), Leah Poel (Jenison, Mich.), Leah Van Zeeland (Kaukauna, Wis.) and Lyndsay Zabkowicz (Oak Creek, Wis.).
"The big thing we mentioned after the match is to not let the loss ruin the moment," Franklin said. "I thought we had a really nice ceremony for our seniors before the match. I just told them that overall they did a great job in the Kress Center this year and just thanked them for being a huge part in the transition of this program with the new coaching staff. They're a special group that has definitely helped pave the way."
Green Bay will finish the season with two contests in Ohio, playing at Cleveland State on Nov. 15 and at Youngstown State on Nov. 16.

Anyone have both of these guns? Which do you like better, and why?
I remember seeing at least 1 member here who just bought the new M&P. I see they finally released the 9mm version too.

Anyone have both of these guns? Which do you like better, and why?
I remember seeing at least 1 member here who just bought the new M&P. I see they finally released the 9mm version too.
I rented the M&P40 and didn't care for it. Now I own two XD's.
I've only handled the M&P. I've fired the XD9 compact and a service sized XD9. I really liked the XD, but I'll probably buy a M&P9 instead as I am a S&W fan, and I like the palmswell backstraps.
I was at the range with a friend of mine for 5 hours on Sat. We had his 4inch XD 9 and my M&P 9. We went through 600 rounds and 2 Cohiba cigars apiece. We tried everything from draw and shoot exercises to shooting from a pistol rest. Both guns perform identical as far as reliability, and felt recoil. We both shot a little better with the M&P but my buddy likes the feel of the XD a little better, but I didn't have my two other back straps for the M&P for him to try. He also likes the idea of the grip safety on the XD. As far as reliability, weight and price, you can't go wrong with either. I have actually shot an XD more than an M&P but I chose the M&P for these reasons.Quote:

Some people like the idea of the mag safety and the internal lock, I don't and my gun does not have them but they are now coming as optional only for Law Enforcement. Current production models no longer have these two options for the public.
For me the M&P is a little easier to conceal due to the thinner grip. IMHO it is a better-looking gun than the XD. I also wanted to go American made and no one can argue with Smith & Wessons customer service and lifetime warranty.
Keep in mind a lot of the differences will be opinion and therefore not wrong for the person who holds them, but if you stack up the options the M&P has more to offer.
I have shot the xd and its a great gun, I havent shop the m&p but i have held it and by far it felt better in my hand than the xd did, Soon as my buddy gets back from basic training im going to go to the range and shoot his m&p
Hey baggedgp (damn that's a hard name to remember) How do you like your Sigma? I have a Sigma SW9VE. It's a great little gun and highly underrated, no FTF's or FTE in about 800 or so rounds but the trigger is atrocious. I've heard the trigger pull is anywhere from 8 to 12 pounds. Probably closer to 12 pounds. Just wanted to get another Sigma owners opinion.
I'm now looking at the M & P, the S & W 99OL, or the Walther P99 all in 40 caliber. We have a Baby Desert Eagle 9mm that shoots like a dream with a 4 pound trigger pull.
I love my sigma and will probally never get rid of it, Ive got 1500rds through mine and no ftf or fte. It doesnt even show any wear. The trigger is a little stiffer than most guns but im so used to it, Its made me a better shooter, I can pick up any of my friends guns (usp40 xd etc) and shoot just as good as they do but when they pick up the sigma they cant even hit the target... It makes you shooting flaws noticeable... I have 100% confidence in my sigma. I will def buy the next gen sigma whenever it comes out. I only paid 299 for my sigma and it was worth ever penny. My fiance even loves my sigma and shes 5'2 maybe 115lbs and shes shoots it very accuratly..Quote:

I think alot of people forget that this is a entry level $300 gun, Its not a 700-900 H&K $500 xd etc. I mean yes there lot better guns out there, but for the price its great gun..
If you like the gun, that's all that counts :-D
I understand there were some problems with the earlier Sigmas but the newer ones are fine. Like I said, the only problem I have is the hard trigger pull but I just happen to like a lighter trigger. Since there is no safety, unless you consider a trigger safety, a safety, it's probably a good thing to have a little harder trigger so you don't shoot yourself. I use it as a car gun most of the time. If it were to get stolen it would be less of a financial loss. But one thing for sure, it is very dependable and I'm glad I own it.
I think I pulled us a little off subject but I wanted input from another Sigma owner. Thanks for your responce.
I don't personally own either, but have experienced both on several occassions. I hate the way you have to break down the M&Ps. I don't think I've seen a more pain in the rear way of breaking down a weapon before.
I have the Sigma 40ve. I had a few FTF & One stove pipe but I think it was the ammo. I been shooting Winchester and it's doing fine. It's not broke in yet, I got about 500 rds through it and thats all. It does have a heavy trigger pull. I'd say about 9 or 10 lbs.

Aftyer all the hype, I really wanted to like them.
The 10ft high bore axis, made them feel like a wet noodle when firing. The triggers were nothing to write about,and the guns just felt cheap.
They are about as far away from my 1911's, as night is to day.
From personal likes and dislikes, I did not like anything about the XD
I ended up buying a M&P .40.
900 flawless rounds later with all makes of ball and HP. and I'm happy.
I like the low bore axis(1911'ish), is easy to break down, changable backstraps(I prefer the medium) has a great tigger, and I really like the Novak sites.
Mine does not has an IL, nor does it have a magazine disconnect.
All in all, I could not be happier.
I have to agree with Sixgunfan. The lower bore axis and better trigger reset on the M&P makes me prefer it. I do like the XD's grip better, but it doesn't even come close to overriding the speed advantages of a shorter trigger reset and a lower bore axis.
On the other hand, I have personally seen Rob Leatham shoot an XD, and only a fool would say the XD can't be shot well.
I'd still rather have a Glock than either one.
Greeting's All-
I'm so sorry guys and gals, but I just can't warm up too
Smith & Wesson's new M&P line of self-loaders. Just give
me a Springfield XD every time, and I will be a slap happy
camper. My new Springer XD- .45 ACP shoots wonderfully
well; damn near as good as my West German SIG-SAUER
P220A, and very close to my new Les Baer Thunder Ranch
1911~! Go figure.
Seems to be a split group, I see...
Most of the gun shops in my area have said that is exactly the way they are selling too. I am a regular at 5 different gun shops and they all say the same thing. They can't keep any of the XD models or either of the current M&P models in stock fast enough, and the upcoming models that seem to get the most excitement are the M&P 45 and the M&P compact.
Yea, I think the compact will be a big seller. I posted a photo of the prototype in the S&W section a while back...
I have fired my brother's XD9 and liked it. He has since purchased a M&P40. I've never fired the M&P, but I did handle one at the local gunstore. Personally, I liked the looks and feel. But, I've had so many manufacturer problems with Smith's, I'll never buy another. However, according to my brother, both the XD and M&P are fine handguns. I think he leans slightly more in favor of the XD. But does like the fact that the M&P is made in America.

I have taught for 52 years and worked with 15,000 students but never in my career did I ever violate academic freedom in the manner displayed by Professor William Robinson, a Jewish professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Robinson, and his defender Noam Chomsky, have raised the banner of academic freedom. Unfortunately, it was Robinson who violated this concept, not those attacking him. Professor Robinson was teaching a course, "Sociology of Globalization" and during this course, he sent an email to all students in his class which claimed; "Gaza is Israel's Warsaw- a vast concentration camp that confined and blockaded Palestinians, subjecting them to the slow death of malnutrition, disease, and despair, nearly two years before their subjection to the quick death of Israeli bombs. We are witness to a slow-motion process of genocide." He compared the Israel invasion of Gaza to the Holocaust.
Professor Robinson is either, (a) ignorant of the Holocaust, (b) stupid, (c) a malicious sick man. Let's examine the manner in which he violated his role as a professor.
1. He sent an email to all students which meant his views impacted the entire class and it was impossible for a student to respond to the entire class.
2. This was not a class dealing with the Holocaust so Professor Robinson did not have any awareness of the knowledge base of his students regarding the Holocaust or even what they knew about what is meant by genocide. We can assume a high percent of his students did not have this knowledge and thus were unable to refute the professor's ignorant statements.
3. A professor has the power of giving a "grade" which means there is no level playing field when he introduced a controversial issue. Students responding to him risked having grades lowered if they challenged their professor on a topic that was NOT part of the curriculum.
4. A professor with a sense of intellectual honesty should have provided students readings, videos or access to opposing views if he wanted to introduce this comparison. The majority of his students lacked knowledge and his responsibility was to ensure they would be in an intellectual position to respond in an informed manner.
I do not know if Professor Robinson is an anti-Semite. I do know in this incident he displayed poor teaching procedures and displayed an ignorance of the Holocaust that is inexcusable for a college professor.

Are difficult endeavors inherently more rewarding? The backcountry ski community has always lived by the mantra "Earn Your Turns." With snowboarders taking up splitboarding and ski touring gear constantly improving, there are more people than ever in the backcountry. Many of these new converts cite the fact that each run means more to them because they earned it with sweat rather than a pricey lift ticket. By putting more effort into a sport does it inherently give that activity more value or meaning? Watch the video, then post your comments below.

Does climbing without a rope epitomize the climbing spirit? Or is it the reckless, selfish endeavor of adrenaline junkies? No topic sets off a firestorm quicker than free soloing. There is something undeniably proud about it. Confidence and cool–two traits we respect–are mandatory. But the consequences of a free solo fall reverberate through families, friends, and the greater community. Which camp do you fall into? Can an act be both beautiful and foolish?

Could you run 100 miles in one day? That's a ridiculous question. No way. At some point every ultramarathon trail runner has to seriously ask that question—and answer with an affirmative.

2 NH families' costly trip on Colorado River hit by shutdown
By SHAWNE K. WICKHAM
New Hampshire Sunday News | October 06. 2013 12:30AM
These New Hampshire families are among those stuck at the Grand Canyon waiting to get on the Colorado River. From left are Tyler Covell and Pete Wisniewski, both of Milford; Jon Burson, Tiffany Burson, Jean Lee, Chase Lee, Alison Burson and Heather Burson, all of North Conway. (Courtesy)
Instead, two New Hampshire families found themselves camping out last week in an Arizona parking lot, after all national parks were closed because of the federal government shutdown.
They flew to Arizona early last week and got to Lee's Ferry, where the rafting trips start, Tuesday morning. Park rangers were putting up a big red sign stating the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area was closed "due to lack of appropriations."
That's when rangers told them they wouldn't be able to put in on the river the next day, despite having paid $2,000 for a permit to do so.
The news was shattering, Scott Lee said.
"They're old enough to understand, but they're crushed. What do you tell them? That's the way a dysfunctional government works? It's tragic."
Trip leader Pete Wisniewski, who grew up in Milford and now lives in Idaho, has been requesting a permit from the National Park Service since 1995, Lee said; six months ago he got word it had come through.
"We instantly started making preparations," Lee said.
That meant arranging to be away from jobs and schools, finding pet sitters, saving money, buying gear.
Jonathan Burson, an international pilot for Delta, even spent two weeks and $2,400 to attend guide training in British Columbia so he could get his family safely down the river.
Missing three weeks of classes is especially tough for her older daughter, a senior at Kennett High School.
Chase Lee, an eighth-grader at Kennett Middle School, said he expected to "learn way more here than I would pretty much anywhere else."
Instead, they're getting an education of a different sort.
"They're learning more about the government, I think, than they ever have learned before," Burson said. "And that is that things take a very long time to happen."
How sad? "On a scale of 1 to 10, 13," she said.
It was supposed to be "a chance of a lifetime," she said. "We were just all excited to go."
Instead, Chase Lee said, "it's depressing."
"The Grand Canyon," Scott Lee said. "It's everything. It's deep solitude, it's the American West.
"There's all kinds of education going on about geology and water flows and the history of the Indians.
Tiffany Burson estimates her family spent $12,000 on travel and equipment for the trip. "We've been talking about it and planning it for at least six months. It's not only financially a strain, but emotionally, it's been very hard."
The owners of nearby Marble Canyon Lodge kindly offered to let them camp in their parking lot while the group waited hopefully for the impasse in Washington, D.C., to be resolved.
"This is my park. This is my road. This is my river," said Lee, a salesman for a manufacturing company. "I paid for it my whole life. So have all these other people sitting here."
Instead, it's small businesses - the outfitters who take groups down the river, nearby stores that depend on visitors - and families such as his who are getting hurt in the shutdown, Lee said.
They've made friends with folks from Idaho, Ohio and Montana.
"The adults are just standing around talking about politics all day long," Scott Lee said.
Lee managed to get through directly to Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., and Rep. Carol Shea-Porter, D-N.H., venting his frustration and urging them to negotiate a way out of the mess.
"I think that every one of them is an absolute failure at negotiation," he said. "And so therefore, they are inept for their jobs. I will vote every one of them out."
By the end of the week, their optimism was flagging and the families were facing a difficult decision. "I think we're going to probably head back in the next few days," Tiffany Burson said.
"We have 20 days of food on this truck behind me," she said. "What's going to happen to all that? We're going to have to try to see if we can get it to some hungry people. It's all going to spoil if we don't end up doing something."
Late Friday night, Jon Burson said in an email that the group had given up, abandoned the campsite and was "seeking to salvage our time off."
"I would tell them to sort of slow down and figure it out," he said.And if she could talk to Congress and the President, Alison Burson said, "I would say that we're all really disappointed.''

It's only $150 for the commercial license and it is 'opensource'! Well, it all comes down to trust: I can't use MT because I cannot trust software I can never own, and I can't place my company at the mercy of another. Been there, done that, got royally burned several times.

Some on the grendal sight they speak of a reamer avaliable for the 6.5x39. It has been around for awhile. the disadvantages of the it are as noted above are case capacity .IMOA the the 6.5x39 should be the easiest to build and make work as the standard mag would work. It would be a reload only propisition and might require a form die as well.
there would be a performance loss as well. I personaly thing figuring out a mag and reamer for the grendal would be worth it unless you dont mind reloading.

Victorinox hard to beat
Victorinox is made by the same folks who make the Swiss Army knives. They have been in the knife business a long time, and make a good product. I own a Victorinox Chef's knife as well. Maybe the pro's need a heavier knife. As for me I am mostly a home cook, but also cook for church groups of up to 100+ people, and found it is more then enough knife for my needs.

Jesse McCartney
Right Where You Want Me, McCartney's proper sophomore effort, arrived in fall 2006. After co-writing with such in-demand producers as Sean Garrett, J.R. Rotem, the Clutch, and others, McCartney released his third album, Departure, in 2008. He also co-wrote Leona Lewis' mega-hit "Bleeding Love" alongside Ryan Tedder, the frontman of OneRepublic. While McCartney continued to make music, releasing a live album in 2009 and a studio set, Have It All, in 2011, he began focusing more of his energies on acting, playing a recurring role on the TV series Army Wives, voicing Theodore in the Alvin & the Chipmunks movies, and starring in the film Chernobyl Diaries. But in 2013, McCartney kick-started his musical career -- he hit the road with the Backstreet Boys for a successful concert tour, and he launched his own independent label, Eight0Eight Records. In November 2013, McCartney inaugurated the label with an EP, In Technicolor, Pt. 1, with the singer and composer collaborating with the production team the El3ven. ~ Johnny Loftus

I'm having a little trouble with my 1911 maybe you guys can help me on.
I'm an awesome rifle shot, but seem to be having a slight problem with my SF A1 model with the original low hight mil-spec sights. I'm hitting the target left of center and am wondering what in my technique I'm doing wrong or if my gun is causing my technique to be bad.
I use a weaver stance and hold the trigger in the first joint of my finger. My breathing is perfect and I try to squeeze the trigger like a rifle on the exhale down, but it's a very stout trigger that requires a lot of effort.
Is the stiff trigger causing me to pull it left? Or is my finger too far over?
I don't think it's the gun because I had the same shot placement with my Sig I shot today.

Premium natural rattan diffuser reeds for optimum scent dispersion.
12" in length.
Learn More
Reed diffusers draw diffuser oil from the bottles up into the reeds, allowing the scent to disperse into the surrounding air. They offer an attractive alternative to scented candles in situations where an open flame is not desired or permitted. There are no flames involved, and they are very easy to make.
The diffuser oil is made by mixing diffuser base with your choice of fragrance oil. Typical formulations call for about a 75:25 mix of diffuser base and fragrance oil, but you may wish to experiment with other ratios. The diffuser base is a very light oil that contains no alcohol. The base mixes well with fragrance oils and enhances the capilary action, encouraging the diffuser oil to travel up the reed diffuser sticks where the scent can be effectively dispersed into the environment. A formulation with too much fragrance oil will not effectively migrate up the reeds, and will hinder effective scent dispersion.
The reeds offered by Peak are made of premium rattan. Rattan is hollow, thus allowing the diffuser oil to easily migrate up the core of the reed. Each of our 12" reeds has approximately 3.8 square inches of surface area. A half a dozen reeds provides more surface area than a 4" apothecary jar, resulting in excellent scent dispersion.
The scent in a reed diffuser will last for several months. For best results, the reeds can be flipped over every few days.
Care must be taken to insure that the diffuser oil does not spill onto furniture, as the fragrance oil may destroy the finish.
These reed diffuser oils were formulated by mixing fragrance oil, diffuser base, and a very small amount of liquid candle dye for tinting. The dye is optional, but gives the oils some visual appeal when combined with the clear boston round bottles.
Retailers typically charge from $15 to $40 for a package that generally includes a glass bottle, several ounces of formulated diffuser oil, and a dozen diffuser reeds.

>>* Facilitate natural beekeeping. Bees build the broodnest their way.>
So far so good. I have been observing them coming and going from the hives on the nice warm days.I peaked in last week and they are clustered on a couple of the bars.
For me, the biggest disadvantage is 1. the fact one is encouraged to leave the bees alone encourages swarming
yes I know all about some of the theories about small cell size etc but, and it is a big but, there is very little scientific evidence to date, more theory and conjecture to back up ideas.
This 'hive envy' that is displayed by one side or the other is a bit pesky and really only serves to show ignorance in action. There really is no need to criticize any one hive as bees have been known to independently move into anything from a tree to a house wall to an old car or camper.
Ok folks, let me throw this out. If your hives are not in a residential but rural area, is it so bad that your bees swarm?So they swarm and go feral living in trees and they make it season after season adapting to what mother nature has to throw at them. Congratulations, you have just added survivor stock to your local gene pool. Nothing wrong with a little diversity.

So, I'm back!
Why was I gone? There are a few reasons!
I work in education. Thus, I am a lot lot busier from September to May! Working fifty plus hours a week busy! But then, suddenly, summer arrives, and I am working zero to twenty hours a week. So, I have a lot more time during the summer. And hey, guess what? In the US, it is almost summer!
I was also not able to write publicly for a while. I have OCD and generalized anxiety, and it got way worse in October. The emotional load got to be too much. Blogging is hard, and reading critique of my work, my feelings, my words on a daily basis can get to be too much. My anxiety was interfering with my life. Though the blog was more of a contributing factor than a deciding factor, I got out of the habit of writing daily, and lost my nerve. I lost my ability to post regularly in front of a critical audience.
Right now, I'm okay, and I have enough time to manage my disability and devote time to writing.
I also have a lot of projects coming up. More on that later.
So, I am back! It might be just for the summer, though I hope not. I will probably be posting here about 3ish times a week, and finishing up 50 Books for Problematic Times. It is nice to be back. I missed this, and I'm excited to continue with this little adventure. Thank you for reading, for coming back.
I'm using this return post for another important announcement: Faye will be joining Deeply Problematic as a moderator and occasional contributor!
Faye is a friend of mine from school: a person I trust to be a smart, articulate, fair feminist. I've asked her because a) I trust her b) I know her to be smart and knowledgeable and c) she is willing and able to disagree with me.
Faye is here because I am not awesome at reading reactions to my work. I'm never sure what contributes to the conversation and what doesn't, what I should respond to and what I should let stand as constructive critique, what I should reject and what I should publish. Not only was I not particularly competent, it was giving me tons of anxiety! Trouble eating, trouble sleeping, trouble writing. You know. Bad stuff as far as I'm concerned.
So, Faye is going to be acting as moderator – reading and choosing which comments to publish, responding to commentary and engaging in the community, and letting me know about particularly helpful comments and privilege checks. She will also be writing here on occasion, including a weekly feature in which she picks the best comments of the week. I will not be engaging in the comments very often.
Accordingly, the comments policy has been updated. Please check it out.
Though I'm sad to start missing the lovely things most of y'all had to say, I am very excited to have Faye around! She is making it possible for me to return.

So the scenario is you've gotten involved with someone who is nuts and it's only a matter of time they go over the top and scar you forever. If you break up with them flat out, they're probably going to stalk you and continue doing weird things for a while.
Your only salvation is to trick them into making the decision to break up with you instead. How do you go about becoming annoying/crazy enough to escape from this situation?

Sopranos mastermind David Chase's autobiopgraphically-tinged drama Not Fade Away stars John Magaro as Douglas, a music-obsessed New Jersey high-school senior who quickly abandons his thoughts of joining the military when he hears the British Invasion, especially the raw blues swagger of the young Rolling Stones. He begins drumming in local bands with his buddies and, over the course of summer and winter breaks home from college, fights with his gruff dad (James Gandolfini), tries to win the heart of a girl he's been crushing on since forever, and keeps his dreams of being a rock star alive. As the sixties unfold, Douglas' band finally catches the break they've been looking for, but internal fighting threatens to sink the group. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

As President Hugo Chavez continues his effort to create a new socialist Bolivarian society even some of his radical supporters are wondering is he concerned about the people of his nation or does this have to do with his personal needs for power. Several months ago, the Tupamaros were a leftist group supporting his efforts, but many have now turned on their former beloved leader. They refused to support the upcoming referendum which would allow Chavez to govern indefinitely. The new constitution ends term limits, allows the president to control parliament and the judiciary, to declare a state of emergency when he so desires and even extends his control over the banking system. Former Chavez ally, Raul Baduel, who served as Defense Minister, states bluntly, "Chavez is staging a coup against democracy." The Podemos Party which supported Chavez has ended that alliance and its leader Ismael Garcia says "Chavez is gambling away the future of the nation."
Chavez initially did attempt some important reforms such as empowering poor people to make local decisions about what is happening in their lives. He diverted money to raise people out of poverty. But, his hunger for power leads invariably towards dictatorship, in actuality, if not in name. A sad commentary on a nation that deserves better and on a man who could have done much more to aid the people of his society.

I live in Japan (US military) and it is hard to get acrylic paints here. The arts shop doesn't have matte or satin white, but has warm white, snow white and just plain white. I don't think plain white will work, but what about warm or snow white being ok? I'm sure I would have to test it out, but maybe someone on here has worked with those colors. It can take forever for stuff to get shipped from the states.
I'm trying not to use rustoleum spray for the white.

As you evaluate Cloud-hosted solutions for secure managed file transfer, you will need to evaluate cloud solutions compared to on-premise hosted solutions, and the tradeoffs of each. And this decision does not need to be "either-or"; for many companies an enterprise solution for managing secure file transfer encompasses both cloud hosted and on-premise options.
This white paper from Osterman Research details advantages to consider for managing file transfer operations in the cloud, and the key issues to consider when evaluating service offerings.

Anong the myths propogated by the Bush administration is failure on the part of Democrats to be concerned for the lives of members of our military. Ironically, since Democrats gained control of Congress, there have finally been numerous pieces of legislation to protect the rights of veterans and a pay increase higher than that proposed by Bush. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., is proposing new legislation that addresses the needs of female veterans. The new bill arises from her numerous hearings with VA officials over the impact of war upon women. Her bill will ask for:
New assessment and treatment of women who hve suffered sexual trauma while in the armed forces.
Further study of post traumatic stress effects on women and development of new forms of treatment.
A long term study of gendeer specific health issues of female veterans.
Joy Ilem, of the Disabled American Veterans says there simply is a lack of knowledge concerning these issues and it is about time the VA began to address the needs of female veterans.She notes as many as 19% of female combat veterans say they have been sexually assaulted which places them at a higher risk for PTSD. Murray's bill also calls for hiriing a Women Vetrans Coordinator at VA hospitals.

Another good man see's the light. I been carrying mine over a year and it's on me from the time I get up till I go to bed. Good luck with yours.
All I can say is "why didn't I get one sooner"?
Right rear pocket, 5-7 days per week. I switched my wallet to the left rear, and I can't tell the difference. Dress slacks, shorts, jeans...
Start the day: Keys, wallet, cell phone, Kel-Tec, cash... I'm ready.
I still carry an XD on my hip when I can, but I ALWAYS have the Kel-Tec.
Range report:
- 3-4" groups at 7M all day long.
- Armalaser stays on target sitting on it all day.
- 5-shots, 3 seconds, 6" at 7M. Fast follow-ups w/ the laser are easy. Without.. hard.
- 250+ rounds down the pipe... ZERO failures.
- 108 lb wife, Carla, loves to shoot it! Recoil is fine...
I think it was $265?? $280??? and $159 for the laser. And $6 for the Uncle Mikes Pocket Holster... I'd buy it today for $600.
If you have a CC permit, you should own one. Best $300 you can spend.
Simply the best
Another good man see's the light. I been carrying mine over a year and it's on me from the time I get up till I go to bed. Good luck with yours.
Love mine too. We told you that you'd love it. Where did you get the laser? Online or a dealer?
Got the laser locally. $150 or so. Installed it myself.
The tough thing about carrying a P-3AT is remembering not to toss it in the laundry basket with your pants...
yep my kel tec 380 is the answer i was looking for.. had some trouble with using the wrong ammo.. but it gets a strict diet of corbon dpx 80 grn,now..
never a glitch of any kind anymore.. its with me everywhere and i never feel under gunned.. i checked the results of that rd thru an deers neck..
you do that to a mans chest or anywhere and hes gonna be in some pretty bad shape. more than one hit in chest area and my bet is,,they gonna be singing for him that nite..
50 more rounds of WWB, just to keep it "current".
No issues, no flaws, laser still on after more than a month of pocket carry...
Love this little bugger...
It is a great little carry gun, and at the range you may have to use it I think it will be more than adequate for the job. It is so easy to carry and conceal. Mine is carried on me wherever I go. I quit carrying for a couple of months because of summer, but that is not the case anymore if you have a pants pocket you can carry this gem.
It's not like a criminal thinks to himself, "Geez, that guy only has a pocket gun, so I will make sure I only attack him from three yards or under. But that other guy has a service pistol, so I will attack him from ten yards. And that guy over there has a rifle, so I will attack him from 150 yards." The attack is what it is, regardless of what gun you might have.
You guys are funny... please don't go Joe Pesci on me for saying that.
Have any of you carried in the back pocket when you would be setting on hard surfaces such as big rocks, tree trunks concrete benches etc?
If you have how do they hold up to those conditions? Also how do you hold up under those conditions?
I back-pocket carry... I found I have to thicken up my wallet with more business cards to balance it out... My spine doesn't like it. The gun takes abuse better than my ass and spine.
PS... Update: I removed the Armalaser. The laser takes up too much space inside the trigger guard, and my chunky fingers didn't go in easy... I'm trading the KelTec laser for a XD9SC laser through KelTec. They allow trade-ins!!!! $55 to upgrade to the RSS laser for the XD, including shipping.
GREAT company.
I also ordered the belt clip and pinky hook today. Ships Monday. Range report next week for both!

A while back I picked up one of Hand Shaub's bronze webleys from a member here in the cargo hold. Here it is next to my Hyperfirm EE-3:
Soon as I got it, I imediately started begging our own ElvisTrooper to make one last aluminum barrel. A couple of cheesburgers changed hands, and a couple months later, I get a thing of beauty!
I also hit up a member of the RPF that made the stocks for these puppies back when they were first done, and got him to make me a walnut stock.
This is all just rough-fit together. Nothing is permanently attached yet...
To fit it on, I had to saw off the barrel of the Webley, then grind the stump, inside and out, to get them nice and smooth. I went really slow with a dremel on the inside and an angle grinder on the outside, trying the pieces regularly. It's a nice snug fit... I can put the pieces into postion without whacking them, but just barely!
Next up is permanently connecting it all and mounting the rear scope block.
Speaking of... anyone got an original ASI 4x20 they want to unload? I've got a tasco, but I really want the right one. No resin... real scopes only

Winning four straight state titles is an incredibly rare feat — in any sport, in any state.
Bob Vlahakis started coaching girl's lacrosse at Shoreham-Wading River (N.Y.) High in 2004, with exactly zero prior experience with that side of the sport. Three years later, he helped lead the Wildcats to their first New York state title. That wound up as the first of a four-peat for S-WR and Bob Vee, who told his team he was retiring shortly after they won this most recent state championship.
The man who founded Face-Off Yearbook in 1994 and put an amazing family effort into putting it out until 2001 when Inside Lacrosse took over, Vlahakis also won a WDIA championship as the head coach at Colorado State in 2008.
He's had an incredible amount of success in this sport, and he shared his experiences with IL's 1-on-1 podcast on June 29, just a few weeks after Shoreham won the state title. We can all agree that one of lacrosse's holdups is a lack of qualified coaches in outlying areas, so Bob talked a lot about how he was able to achieve so much success — so quickly — in girl's lacrosse despite having no experience with it. His general coaching philosophies and advice can be applied to just about anyone, anywhere.
He also talked about Senior Year, a movie being made by alum Mike Canzoniero about Chris Cook's heroic battle to win a state title for Shoreham-Wading River. Look for that trailer on InsideLacrosse.tv soon.
For rising coaches out there, this is a must-listen. Bob Vee would never claim to be a Bob Scott or Roy Simmons Jr., but his coaching advice can apply to anyone:

Bar Exam Preparation
The CSO strongly recommends that students do all they can to prepare for the bar exam, regardless of jurisdiction. This may include participating in programs sponsored by KU Law or other institutions, and taking commercial study programs. In all cases, you should assume that between the time you graduate and the date(s) of the bar exam, your success will depend on treating bar study, at a minimum, like a full time job requiring 40 hours a week or more of highly dedicated study.
Courses and materials to help you prepare for the bar exam can be found below:
Career Services Office
Bar preparation in specific areas offered in the spring by the Career Services Office. The schedule for this program will be released in the spring.
Wheat Law Library
The library offers a collection of print and electronic resources for bar preparation.
Commercial Bar Preparation Services
There are various commercial bar preparation services available. KU Law does not endorse any of these programs, but we believe that the materials, coursework and discipline imparted by participation in such programs can substantially increase a student's ability to succeed on the bar exam. Accordingly, while each student must evaluate their own capabilities and the financial cost of participating in such a program, the potential impact of failing to pass the bar exam should not be underestimated. Below is a list of commercial bar preparation companies that submitted materials to The National Jurist Magazine's Bar Exam Advisor in early 2012. The statements made are those of the companies, and we have not vetted them, so approach their claims as a good and skeptical consumer.
