In the summer of 2009, Adrian Ramon completed a one-month internship with NFL Tennessee Titans during their training camp in Nashville, TN. He also received a scholarship from the NFL to help cover his expenses in the WSU EL MSAT program. His duties included setting up AT equipment before practice, restocking the Athletic Training room, taping the athletes, providing treatments for the athletes, assisting the players with their rehabilitation programs (ACL and dislocated shoulder programs). He also assisted in providing medical coverage during practices and games. Adrian described the experience as "an unforgettable experience that was invaluable and eye-opening." He was able to work with many new therapeutic modalities that are rarely seen in most AT rooms such as light therapy, Interex, and H-wave. Adrian completed a degree in Kinesiology at UNT and served as the student athletic trainer for their men's basketball team for two years. He is now pursuing the entry-level masters degree in Athletic Training at Weber State University.

|Athletic Training Student Experiences RSL Title Firsthand
|December 3, 2009
OGDEN, Utah – When Real Salt Lake defeated the Los Angeles Galaxy for the MLS Cup last month in Seattle, Weber State University student Candi Henry had a unique perspective from the sidelines.
"As soon as Robbie Russell's ball went in the goal, we jumped over the boards and sprinted to the guys," she said. "I jumped on the pile and just jumped around and screamed a lot."
Henry spent most of the 2009 season as an athletic training intern with RSL, and was rewarded for her efforts with a trip to Seattle and a spot on the sidelines for the soccer team's first league championship.
Her main duties with RSL included performing ultrasound and electrical stimulation on players, helping with rehabilitation exercises, taping ankles, applying ice bags, and preparing ice and water for practices. On game days, she was part of the stretcher crew.
Even though Henry had always wanted to work with a professional sports team, it was difficult to include in her already busy schedule. During her internship, she carried a full graduate workload, completed a clinical internship with Olympus High School's football team, and worked on her graduate thesis. "I definitely needed the time that I spent with RSL free for schoolwork, but I would not change anything," she said.
One of the main benefits was seeing firsthand the demands on athletic trainers. "This is not a profession where you just clock in and out," Henry said. "Your athletes can call you in the middle of the night with a problem, and you have to deal with it. It is so rewarding though."
Henry believes the extra effort will help advance her career goals. "I hope that future employers will see that I have been able to balance so much this semester and still be successful," she said. "I will be prepared for the rigors of a full-time job in athletic training."
Valerie Herzog, director of the master of athletic training program at WSU, agrees that internships are a necessity for athletic training students. "The job market for athletic training positions in professional sports is very competitive," she said. "The only way to eventually land such a job is through professional internships, like the one Candi completed with Real Salt Lake."
Henry said she is sad to see the internship end, and that she will miss her interactions with RSL's players. "I'm so sad the ride is over," she said. "I may never see some of the guys again. They were like a little family to me, and I will miss them so much."
She plans on graduating with a master's degree in athletic training from WSU in August 2010.

|WSU Athletic Trainer, Student to Receive Honors at National Convention - June 11, 2009
OGDEN, Utah – Weber State University assistant athletic trainer Nancy Weir and Michelle Hansen Dawson, a student in the Master of Science in Athletic Training program, will be recognized during the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) convention June 17-20 in San Antonio.
Weir will be presented an NATA service award, a national honor that recognizes local, state and district service, and Dawson will receive a scholarship.
Weir joined the staff of Weber State in 1983. She is the athletic trainer for the women's volleyball team and has been named the athletic trainer for the women's softball team, which will begin competition next year. Weir also is an adjunct professor/clinical instructor in the undergraduate athletic training program in WSU's Jerry and Vickie Moyes College of Education. She serves on the university's Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Advisory Board and has organized the Great American Teach-In, a program that brings student-athletes into elementary schools, where they teach children about the effects of drugs and alcohol.
Weir also provides leadership and service to her profession. She has served as secretary of the Utah Athletic Trainers' Association and volunteered at events such as the Winter Olympics, the Utah Summer Games and high school basketball tournaments.
In her 26 years at Weber State, Weir has come to be known for her professionalism and dedication.
"Nancy has given her time, energy and heart selflessly as a certified athletic trainer for more than 25 years," said Valerie Herzog, WSU's athletic training program director. "She puts the health and welfare of her student-athletes, as well as the education of her students, above her own needs. For that, she has earned the respect and admiration of her peers, coaches, athletes and students."
Tom Abdenour, a former WSU athletic trainer who is now with the NBA's Golden State Warriors, said: "As people go, you can qualify Nancy as a giver and a consummate team player. She always goes above and beyond."
Dawson is the first WSU student to receive an NATA scholarship. A master's degree candidate, she aspires to be a certified athletic trainer at the high-school level and wants to work with athletes in every sport.
"I fell in love with athletic training in high school," said Dawson, who suffered season-ending injuries as a track and field athlete during both her junior and senior years of high school. "After my injuries, my athletic trainer asked if I'd like to assist in the training room. Because I couldn't run, I thought I should at least help my teammates."
That experience, coupled with a sports medicine course taken during her senior year of high school, was instrumental in Dawson's decision to become an athletic trainer.
Dawson received her bachelor's degree in physical education, with an emphasis in exercise science and a minor in psychology, from Utah State University in 2008. In the master's degree program at WSU, she currently maintains a 4.0 grade point average, which, she said, takes "hard work, dedication and sacrifice."
"I'm so grateful for this scholarship," Dawson said. "I love athletic training. I'm excited that I'll now have the opportunity to focus solely on my classes. It really is thrilling to see all my hard work pay off."

|Dr. David Draper Speaks to Athletic Training Students about Heat Modalities
| March 21, 2008
Dr. David Draper spoke to the Weber State University Athletic Training students, staff, and faculty on March 20, 2008 about Heat Modalities. Dr. Draper is the top researcher in this field in the world and has published over 70 articles in scientific journals. He has received numerous awards for his research. He has given presentations all over the world including Scotland, Japan, Korea, and China. He has also recently co-authored a textbook entitled "Therapeutic Modalities: The Art and Science." He currently serves as a Professor of Athletic Training at Brigham Young University.
Athletic Training Students Practice Skills at Premiere Sporting Events
November 13, 2007
OGDEN, Utah – Several Weber State University students have had ample opportunity to meet and interact with some of the nation's premiere athletes—sometimes under the worst of circumstances.
Sophomore T. Lucas Willson and senior Erick Hennessy volunteered as athletic trainers at the Dew Action Sports event in September in Salt Lake City, where they helped athletes prepare for competition, and aided those who suffered injuries.
Later this month, Willson and senior Brittnie Holmgren will staff the 2008 U.S. Figure Skating Junior Championships in Salt Lake City and Murray (Nov. 26-Dec. 1).
Under the supervision of certified athletic trainers, the student volunteers help athletes with stretching and taping, as well as assist with the evaluation of musculoskeletal injuries. At the Dew Sports events, the students responded to athletes who suffered a ruptured spleen, head laceration, fractured ankle and a major concussion during the competition.
Experiences like these are part of the service-learning component of the athletic training major at WSU. Students in the program are required to perform between five and 20 hours of service learning per semester in various medical and athletic fields, depending on their year of study. By senior year, students are performing 20 hours of volunteer work each semester.
Volunteer experiences augment classroom and clinical training. During clinical rotations, students learn in a variety of settings on and off campus, including WSU varsity sports, high school athletics, physical therapy clinics, chiropractic clinics and physicians' offices. The volunteer work allows students to focus on specific areas of emphasis.
"We encourage students to choose volunteer opportunities that fit their interests or future career goals," said Valerie Herzog, director of WSU's athletic training program. "If a student wants to work with special needs kids, we'll encourage them to volunteer with Special Olympics. If they are uncertain about their future career path, volunteering helps them discover which fields are a good fit."
For Willson, a former baseball player who walked away from a career in engineering to pursue athletic training, the Dew Tour experience introduced him to a whole new area of interest.
"I fell in love with the extreme sports lifestyle, the athletes and the medical staff who take care of them," Willson said. "I had a backstage pass to work side by side with these medical providers who treat world-class athletes, and I was amazed that they were willing to help increase my knowledge base by sharing all these pointers and tips with me."
Willson hopes to have a similar learning experience at the figure skating championships.
Hennessy, who graduates in December, plans to become a physician's assistant. He's had clinical assignments with WSU football and track and field, and volunteered at an intramural volleyball tournament in Salt Lake City. Hennessy said the clinical and volunteer experiences have given him the opportunity to meet many people and to learn and practice different techniques.
"You learn about different injuries depending on the sport," said Hennessy. "In track and field it's recurring, chronic injuries like shin splints and arch injuries, while in football it's mostly acute injuries like fractures or sprains."
Herzog said volunteer opportunities extend beyond the realm of athletics. Students work with a variety of health care practitioners (nurses, EMTs, paramedics, doctors, physical therapists, specialty practices, etc.), gaining insights on relating to patients from across the spectrum.
"We have students who volunteer at the Ogden Rescue Mission," Herzog said. "They treat patient populations and medical issues that are radically different than working with an Olympic gold medal snowboarder at an extreme sports competition."
In addition to learning and growing, service learning provides an opportunity for students to network and build a resume.
"Our graduates say employers look at their resumes and say 'Wow, you've had a lot of diverse experiences,'" Herzog said.

The Les Baer MH with the 1 1/2" upgrade is a very reliable and a total Tac Driver of a pistol, I have # 2825 rounds fired so far with ZERO malfunctions .. I used Winchester White Box 230 grain FMJ for the first # 1000 rounds than 500 rounds of Mag Tech 230 grain FMJ another 500 rounds of Federal's Personal Defense handgun ammunition, jacketed hollow point,. I now use my Reloads Nosler 185 grain JHP 4.4 of clays powder for the last #825 rounds.
I think this is one of the best semi custom 1911's around... it is as well made and shoots as accurate as many full blown custom 1911's. All the Targets are Hand Held groups at 30 Yards.. I shoot at 25 Yards and beyond 98% of my range time.

"Let's Talk About Sand"
Performance Tour Encourages Discussion about Frac-Sand Mining
The Dreamery Rural Arts Initiative of Wykoff in collaboration with Heart of the Beast Puppet Theatre of Minneapolis presents a public tour of "Let's Talk About Sand," a performance event encouraging discussion about the frac-sand mining industry. The tour takes place in public venues throughout southeastern Minnesota the last week in February. All events are free and open to the public.
Let's Talk About Sand features a fun, 15-min "Cantastoria," a performance style using hand-painted imagery and live music. The show is both informational and poetic, and includes time for audience input. Performers are Spring Valley/Wykoff residents and Heart of the Beast veterans.
Let's Talk About Sand also includes a screening of excerpts from the documentary The Price of Sand, by Jim Tittle (www.thepriceofsand.com). Focusing on community actions in the Mississippi River Valley in eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin, regions contending with recent frac-sand mining ventures, The Price of Sand exposes many of the human and environmental issues the industry raises.
The event winds up with an open forum discussion during which participants will be invited to express views on or ask questions about the issues raised in the performance and the film. This is a family-friendly event lasting 60-90 minutes.

I am voting for Obama, but this is the reason I cannot become a full time Democrat or left wing liberal. Every time someone speaks their mind in an intelligent manner, simply stating why the feel the way they do and why they are voting the way they do, you all have to jump all over them and make them feel like an idiot.
I found many of things this person posted true. I totally respect their right to feel the way they do. No wonder there is so much bipartisanship in the Congress, two people on a curly board can't even have an intelligent debate. I wish everyone would just let each side have their say.

I mentioned recently that Rabbi Richard Jacobs of Scarsdale has been tapped the next leader of the Union for Reform Judaism, a group that represents more than 900 Reform congregations.
The Forward's Josh Nathan-Kazis has run a provocative feature about Jacobs, which explains that he has been a leading critic of the URJ but now will be given a chance to reform the group — and Reform Judaism — himself.
Many rabbis of leading Reform congregations apparently believe that the URJ is doing a poor job leading and inspiring them. Jacobs has been among them.
Boy, it's hard to think of a denominational group — in any religion — that has satisfied its membership. The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism has faced tremendous criticism in recent years. Many Mainline Protestants leaders and their cabinets face regular critiques, often for being "detached" from the people in the pews.
Now that I think about it, I can probably count on two hands all the praise I've heard for denominational leaders. Criticism is easy to come by.
Jacobs, by the way, still has to be approved by the URJ board in a couple of months. Then he'll take over next year.
Here's a key snippet from The Forward:
Members of the URJ's nominating committee point to Jacobs's career as a congregational rabbi and to his experience revitalizing his own congregation as key reasons for his selection.
"The URJ is a congregational movement," said Rabbi Ellen Weinberg Dreyfus of B'nai Yehuda Beth Sholom, in Homewood, Ill., outgoing president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and a member of the nominating committee. "I think it will be very helpful to the people in the congregations to know that the new president has had experience on the ground."
The fact that Jacobs had no previous role within the URJ administrative hierarchy is significant, since the URJ was roundly criticized over the 2009 reorganization that resulted in budget cuts and layoffs. The other finalist under consideration by the nominating committee was Rabbi Jonah Pesner, a URJ staff member who serves as director of Just Congregations, the URJ's congregation-based community-organizing initiative.
In an e-mail to colleagues following the announcement, Pesner expressed support and admiration for Jacobs. "I have admired Rick since I was a rabbinic student," Pesner wrote of Jacobs.
Jacobs said that he believes he was selected to lead the movement because of his success at Westchester Reform Temple and his involvement in the field of synagogue transformation. He was a board member of Synagogue 2000 and its successor group, Synagogue 3000.
"Congregations are what I know," Jacobs said. "I understand when rabbis say it's hard during economic [downturns] to figure out how you're going to keep all the sacred functions going. That's not a world I have to read about or call somebody about — that's what I do every day."
"He has the experience transforming an institution, but achieving the buy-in and support of those who have been there for a long time and those who are new," Dreyfus said.

"These huge reptiles, surrounded by the black lava, the leafless shrubs and large cacti, seemed to my fancy like some antediluvian animals. The few dull-colored birds cared no more for me than they did for the great tortoises."
"Some are going to need crickets or other special foods. Reptiles need cages and special lighting. If a person wants a rabbit and they have small children, that would not be a good fit. Rabbits do not like a lot of noise and it would be upsetting to them. Guinea pigs are better for children than a hamster. Hamsters sleep in the day and play at night and guinea pigs play all day and sleep at night."
"The idea of turning into a reptile fascinated me. Other than that, my role was kind of... well, I don't want to say boring, but rather ordinary. I was playing the helpless victim."

Examining the Notion of Health Insurance Exchanges
By Andrea Chalfin News Dir. On February 9, 2011 · 1 Comment · In Business, Colorado, Eric Whitney, Health, KRCC News
State lawmakers will get their first chance this week to shape the federal health care law for Colorado. The Affordable Care Act requires states to set up new "health insurance exchanges." Exchanges are new marketplaces where coverage will be very cheap for people who don't make much money. That's what many in health care are hoping, anyway. This week legislative work begins on Colorado's health insurance exchange. KCFR Health Reporter Eric Whitney has more.

A Chinese cocurt jailed one of the govenment's most prominent critics to a jail sentence of three and a half years on charges of subversion. The United States denounced the sentencing and the European Union called for immediate release of Hu Jia who has pursued fighting for democratic rights and self determination for Tibet. The jailing of the dissident is bound to lead to new pressures on the Olympic Committee to take a stand against these undemocratic practices. The 34 year-old fighter for human rights has been under house arrest(along with his wife and daughter) for over 200 days prior to his conviction.
Lawyers for Hu Jia said the dissident admitted some of his statements had been "excessive" and he acknowledged his comments went against the law as written. Hu Jia essentially is in a "Catch-22″ situation of living in a nation which has undemocratic laws so if he complains about them, he is, by definition, engaged in an illegal action. The decision was issued just as IOC representatives were meeting in Beijing.
The Olympics are an important even not merely for the Chinese government but for the people of China. An all-out boycott undoubtedly would infuritate the people of China which would interpret such an action as directed against the entire nation, not the government which imprisonded Hu Jia. However, a boycott of opening ceremonies would send a message to the Chinese government how the world interprets their undemocratic behavior. The IOC also has to make clear to the Chinese government any attempt to squash free speech on the part of particpants will result in immediate cancellation of the Olympics.

Reviews of this property
Haben uns in dieser recht zentralem Wohnung mit super AAusblick von der Dachterrasse sehr wohl gefühlt! Kontakte , Schlüsselübergabe, Sauberkeit und Komfort aus unserer Sicht top!
Lägenheten var perfekt för 4 personer. Ett lungt område med bra kommunikationer till stranden samt övriga delar av Barcelona. Vi valde att promenera mycket och det var gångavstånd till det mesta. Andrei har varit ett fantastiskt bra värd som gav oss ypperlig service och underlättade vår vistelse på alla sätt. Vi kan rekommendera både denna prisvärda lägenhet samt Barcelona.
Great location, residential and quiet. They provide guidance and options for parking to confirm the reservation. Housing something old, especially the bathrooms, but not lacking anything. No problem for check-in or check-out. A shame not being able to enjoy more the terrace with a little better weather.
Estupenda ubicación, residencial y tranquila. Nos facilitaron una guía y opciones para aparcar al confirmar la reserva. La vivienda algo antigua, sobre todo los baños, pero no le faltaba de nada. Sin ningún problema para check-in ni check-out. Una pena no haber podido disfrutar más esa terraza con un poco de mejor tiempo.
Apartment well located, bright, cozy, maybe something small master bath
Apartamento bien situado , mucha luz , acogedor , quizá algo pequeño el baño principal
We (a group of three women) stayed in the apartment for five nights. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, there was plenty of space. We found the apartment exactly as presented in the photos on Wimdu. The terrace with view of the Sagrada Familia was particularly nice. The rooms were all very clean. The communication with the hosts was always easy and friendly, replies to our questions were sent almost immediately.
The only point of criticism is the rather poor equipment of the kitchen with dishes and cutlery. Though the apartment could easily host four people, there were only three big plates and three knifes.
Reviews for this host's other properties
All in all a good apartment in a splendid location - one block from the Metro, two blocks from the Aerobus, and literally right on top of a good supermarket. The neighborhood has great restaurants and bars galore, and Catalunya/La Rambla are only about a 15 minute walk away. The terrace is very large and a lovely place to take in the sun.
Still, there is room for improvement in the flat itself. Both of the two mattresses have seen better days (too soft and prone to sinking in the middle); the faces of some of the drawers in the kitchen are beginning to come off and need to be securely re-attached; a door or two are quite squeaky and could use a little WD-40.
Wir geben gerne vier Sterne. Die hat sich die Unterkunft hauptsächlich wegen der tollen Lage verdient.
Vom Balkon zur re Seite die Sagrada und zur li Seite San Pau. Die Straße ist praktisch eine ruhige Fußgängerzone mit tollen Lokalitäten. Abstriche gibt es bei der Unterkunft, die insbesondere einer Renovierung im Bereich Küche und Bad bedürfen.
Auch die nette Betreuung durch Mario möchte ich hier noch erwähnen.
Die Wohnung war Ideal für uns. Sie war sauber, ist sehr Zentral gelegen und man hat link und rechts vom Balkon einen tollen Ausblick. Recht sieht man die Sagrada de Familia.
clean and spacious home, perfect for 6 people. nearby subway. kind and helpful owners
Muy buen trato recibido.Buena organizacion,seiedad,puntualidad y limpieza.El apartamento esta ubicado en una zona tranquila,a la vez que centrica y bien comunicada junto a la Sagrada Familia.Totalmente recomendable.

text: The Quinton "Rampage" Jackson wiki last edited by troma on 04/23/13 12:56AM View full history As famous as Quinton Jackson is in the West, it is nothing compared to his stardom in Japan. Quinton cut his fighting teeth in Pride Fighting Championship in Japan, and eventually made his way to the UFC. Quinton is known for his slams, ground and pound and for having strong power in both hands. Rampage shocked the world when he knocked Chuck Liddell out in the first round at UFC 71, making that his second victory over Chuck. Rampage also defeated Dan Henderson (ex-pride light heavyweight champion) to unite the two belts from Pride and the UFC. Rampage lost his title in a five round war with Forrest Griffin, and was involved in a high speed chase from police soon after the loss. He was reportedly battling mental health issues as well as a fallout with his head trainer.Rampage later returned to the octagon to defeat long-time rival Wanderlei Silva by knockout, and Keith Jardine by unanimous decision. Following the win against Jardine, Rampage was selected as a coach on season 10 of The Ultimate Fighter, opposite fellow light heavyweight Rashad Evans. Rampage and Rashad clashed numerous times during the show, with conflicting personalities rubbing each other up the wrong way.On September 22, 2009, on his personal blog, Rampage announced his intent to retirement, most likely to pursue an acting career. Rampage won the role of Mr T in the movie remake of The A-Team, gaining moderate praise for his performanceQuinton returned to the UFC at UFC 114 where he lost to rival Rashad Evans via unanimous decision, in what was a hugely successful pay per view playing off the months of build from The Utlimate Fighter show. Rampage citied promotional commitments for his recent appearance in The A-Team as a factor in this loss.StatsTale of the TapeAge: 34Height: 6'1"Weight: 205 lbs.Reach: 73"OtherBorn: Memphis, TNFighting out of: Irvine, CARecord: 31-9-0Division: Light Heavyweight (205)

I am sure someone has already posted this link, but I found it interesting and educational.
Yes, I know it is apples and oranges, but interesting none the less.
This is a discussion on Expansion Testing (Hillbilly style) within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Farmer near us told us about a deer that got hit in front of his house. We went out to see if the meat was ...
Farmer near us told us about a deer that got hit in front of his house. We went out to see if the meat was still good - or at least recover the hide (I'm a amateur brain tanner) but the farmer had miscalculated the time of death - the thing really stank! The coyotes had also gotten to it which had pretty much ruined the hide.
Well, we couldn't let the poor thing go to waste so we dedicated it to science. Ok - that's not quite accurate. We weren't extremely scientific about it - but wanted to see how some of the bullet designs of different calibers from various pistols performed in the expansion category.
I found the results pretty interesting. I'll just summarize here:
38 special from 2" barrel: No expansion on various weighted hydrashocks - AT ALL. (non +P) Did not have any other brands at the time.
.357 magnum from 2 1/2" barrel: 158 grain gold dots - expansion was poor OR non existent. This was very surprising as it was what I have been carrying in the SP101. 148 grain silvertips mushroomed flawlessly each and every time. This is now my new carry ammo.
380 ACP from keltec: Silvertips, expansion was so-so but had several failure to penetrate! Assuming these hit ribs.
9mm from Beretta 92F: Gold dots - expanded beautifully.
45 ACP: Cheap winchester whitebox hollow points from 4" Kimber. Expansion was very meager - not much at all.
One interesting thing to note - despite the 45 ACP not expanding much at all - it caused the most visible damage out of all of the test rounds. Whereas all other rounds penetrated clean and buried in the dirt behind it, the .45 bullets were always found in a pool of goopy bloody sludge with bits of meat buried in the ground with it. Not sure why this was the case - but it definitely has made me a believer in bigger is better.
I realize the above test is by no means scientific or complete - and I'm not definitely not touting it as that. But it was definitely interesting to see expansion in real tissue from a handgun bullet.
And yes - the smell was horrendous.
I am sure someone has already posted this link, but I found it interesting and educational.
Yes, I know it is apples and oranges, but interesting none the less.
Box of truth is a great site its been posted a few times but if your arent seraching it probley wont come up ..
The expansion test ya had on the deer was interstion
Joe - nothing like a ''meat test''
I am a great fan of GD's and glad to hear they performed quite well - I have done wetpack tests on those as well as other stuff and find expansion more consistent than about anything else.
True tho too it seems - bigger is better - that is why the .45 club is so thriving

The only thing that really baffled me is the .357 gold dots performed horribly. I'm a big fan myself and every other gold dot cartridge we tested did well. However, the .357 gold dots just didn't do it. The bullet design is different - with the inside of the hollow point jacketed petals. It may have been us - since as I've said we weren't really being all that methodical. But the silvertips did well 100% so I've made the switch to them in my SP101.
Where did you place the shots? Some of the ammo may not perform the same in humans as deer. deer have much less fat and more muscle in most cases. Most defensive carry bullet designs are made well and tested extensively. I would imagine the work just fine. Check out the new ammo specifically for short barrelled pistols for better performance though.
Agreed Joe - does seem the .357's were disappointing. In fact have never tried those, always using CorBon stuff in SP or M28.
I did get a boatload of ''blem'' bullets some ways back (like 2,500!!) - and it turns out they are 158 JHP Speer GD style so when I get to loading some will maybe test out for expansion, tho they won't be used for SD - mostly just hot .357's for grins.

The shots were placed broadside through the lungs in various places with a few tests through the shoulder to see how bone penetration affected performance. Agreed on the differences between deer and human tissue makeup - the bullets very well may perform better in human tissue. But I haven't convinced anyone to volunteer yet. :)
I did a lot of testing in wet newsprint of many 125 grain JHP's. I found that the Hornady 125 gr XTP performed fantasic in every test. They relaibly held over 90% of their original weight and expanded on average to .58 cal. with very adequate penetration.
You might want to give them a try.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The Texans lost to the Colts in the early afternoon games which set the Patriots up to control their own destiny to gain a first round bye in the playoffs. Playing against the Miami Dolphins nothing is a guarantee. The Patriots needed the win to guarantee the first round bye.
– Being slightly superstitious, as well as being a fan of the Patriots during the Belichick/Brady era, this Patriots and Dolphins games had all the makings of one of those last minute win deals. When the Patriots received the opening kickoff I was a little nervous. They always receive at half and with at least the #2 seed on the line saying I was skeptical would be an understatement. The first half calmed the nerves early however.
– The first two offensive drives were nothing special. I also do not have a problem going for it on 4th and 6. However, I do have a problem with the Patriots punting on 4th and 7 on the next drive. It's tough to question Belichick as he has made so many great decisions in his tenure as head coach, but being a fan and a blogger of course I'm going to complain.
– The defense was playing without starting cornerbacks Aqib Talib and Alfonzo Dennard. In their absence, the Patriots resorted back to Devin McCourty and Kyle Arrington, who were the starters at the beginning of the season. Early on there were no real problems. As a matter of fact, thanks to Steve Gregory, the secondary came up with a big play to sway momentum. Gregory picked off a Ryan Tannehill pass, his first in the last four games, to give the Patriots offense great field position.
– Tom Brady and the Patriots offense didn't waste any time with the terrific field position. Brady hooked up with the returning Rob Gronkowski for a 19 yard reception to set them up in the red zone. On the next play Brady connected with Wes Welker for a 9-yard touchdown reception to give the Patriots the early 7-0 lead.
– Welker was able to disguise himself behind Gronk and Aaron Hernandez which left him wide open in the middle of the field. It truly is impressive how this offense has maintained its consistency without Gronk these past 5 games. When he's out there they are that much more intimidating.
– The defense looked great in the first half. The front seven, as I have said previously, is the best it's been since 2004. They have depth and they have guys who can step up and make plays. Early on in Sunday's game the Patriots were being very aggressive on defense. The Gregory interception was a result of extra pass rushers being sent and pressuring the rookie Tannehill. Rob Ninkovich, who left in the first half with a leg injury, was doing his part to rush the quarterback and could have been credited with Justin Francis' first half sack. Ninkovich came in off the outside and forced Tannehill to move up the middle. Francis was there waiting for him for the sack.
– Bottom line is when this defense plays aggressively, they can make plays. The play it safe zone coverage defense is what gets them in trouble.
– While Stevan Ridley did have two first half touchdowns, Danny Woodhead once again showed that he is one of the most consistent players on this team. He accounted for 81 total yards (18 reception, 63 rush) in the first half. Ridley deserves tons of credit as he crossed 1,200 rush yards and 12 touchdowns, but Woodhead is a major part of this offense. The running back by committee certainly suits this offense perfectly.
– The second half said more about the defense than the offense. The Patriots' offense went to a more conservative route for most of the second half. They utilized the run and attempted some short passes but weren't able to sustain much of a drive for the entire third quarter. The defense however continued to pressure Tannehill and the Dolphins offense.
– Miami looked primed to score but a botched hand off from Tannehill to Reggie Bush led to a fumble recovery from the Patriots. The defense, even with a three touchdown lead, played aggressively and forced Tannehill and the Dolphins offense to make quick decisions. The aggressive style of defense led to shaky play by the Dolphins offense, while at the same time made the Patriots defense look phenomenal.
– Brady and the Patriots offense moved the bell well enough with a short field after another lackluster punt from the Dolphins. A reverse to Welker gained 11 yards. The drive was eventually capped off with a 23-yard touchdown pass from Brady to Gronk. The Gronk spike was missed in New England more than you can know.
– Justin Francis and Trevor Scott deserve all the credit in the world. Over the past few games both of these defensive linemen have stepped up and made plays. Francis had three sacks on Sunday and Scott had one as well. Both of their stellar play have come in the wake of a Jermaine Cunningham suspension and Chandler Jones being saddled with an ankle injury. Their success speaks volumes to how well Belichick builds an entire team each and every season.
– Having the first round bye is huge. If I were to say this Patriots team would have a first round bye back in week 6, most people would have called me crazy. They only lost one game after the debacle in Seattle and now they are sitting comfortably in the #2 seed in the playoffs. Two out of the three times the Patriots won the Super Bowl under Bill Belichick they were the #2 seed. I'm not saying it's guaranteed but for those of you who are superstitious it is a nice little factoid.
– The big picture is this Patriots team has played some great football in the second half of the season. Even in the game against the 49ers when they were beat down in the first half, they showed a no-quit attitude that few teams in the NFL possess. The playoffs are the start of a brand new season, and I for one am glad this team can take a little time to rest up. Guys like Dennard, Talib, and Gronk sure could use and extra week to get everything right.
– The only team that really worries me (The Giants) isn't in the playoffs. That being said I really like our chances.

The McCracken County Sheriff's Department is investigating two residential burglaries in the same Reidland area late Monday and early Tuesday.
Homes on StoneCreek Place and StonePoint Court were burglarized overnight while the residents were sleeping. The residents did not awaken, and didn't discover them until later Tuesday. No forced entry was noted on either home, Sheriff Jon Hayden said in a news release.
A vehicle on Larkspur Lane was broken into during the same period, with a purse taken, he added.
Wallets, a laptop computer and a television were taken during the home burglaries. The sheriff's detectives working the cases believe that the three crimes are connected and occurred within a close time period. Hayden said the department rarely sees residential burglaries occur while the homeowners are at home, as thieves prefer to avoid confrontation.
"This type of crime is probably about as dangerous for the thief as any crime (he or she) could commit," he said.
The department has placed surveillance cameras in the area and will be providing extra patrols in marked and unmarked vehicles, he said. Anyone with information can contact the sheriff's department at 270-444-4719.

Clint Dempsey will quickly recapture the form that made him a Fulham favourite in his first spell at the club, according to boss Rene Meulensteen.
Fulham's head coach expects United States forward Dempsey to play his way back to full sharpness, following his loan switch from the Seattle Sounders.
The 30-year-old is expected to face Norwich in the FA Cup third-round replay at Craven Cottage on Tuesday.
Dempsey struggled to impose himself in Saturday's 4-1 home Barclays Premier League defeat to Sunderland, but Meulensteen remains confident the former Tottenham man will come good.
"Clint's a fit boy and that comes pretty quickly," said Meulensteen.
"The more minutes and games he gets under his belt the quicker that will all come. It won't take long for him to be right back up there."
Dempsey scored 50 league goals in his first Fulham spell, between 2007 and 2012.
Meulensteen admitted Fulham's wasteful finishing cost them any chance of victory in Saturday's Sunderland shaming.
But the former Manchester United coach said he expects Dempsey to find that scoring knack in next to no time.
"If he could have got his head on one of those crosses in the second half it would have been good for his confidence," said Meulensteen.
"He's just got to keep working, but that's his character and that's exactly what we know he will do."
Tuesday's FA Cup replay with Norwich crowds an already-packed fixture schedule, with Fulham facing Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday in league action.
Premier League survival is the clear priority, but Meulensteen said there is no temptation to field a second-string squad against Chris Hughton's Norwich.
"Well first, the FA Cup is a fantastic competition that I respect," he said.
"If you look back on its history there are so many joyful moments.
"And secondly, nothing good comes out of losing. There's nothing positive in doing that (writing it off).
"However it is a game where we have to utilise the squad, that's normal and it would be stupid not to do it.
"That approach can give a few players that extra bit of time to recover."
Fulham playmaker Adel Taarabt has admitted he was squeezed out of the Sunderland defeat by the attentions of Black Cats midfielder Lee Cattermole.
Accepting responsibility for failing to convert one gilt-edged opportunity, the former QPR midfielder said Fulham must sharpen up against Norwich.
"If we'd have scored first it would have been a different game but we made it difficult for ourselves," he told Fulham's official website.
"I tried to make things happen but Lee Cattermole was behind me all the time and he tried to frustrate me.
"I stayed calm but the play was compact and there wasn't much space for me and Dimitar Berbatov, it was difficult.
"Credit to Sunderland but we're all very disappointed."

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
my lawyer wants this case settled but they keep brushing him off I still have limits on what I can do for work
It sounds like you may not want to settle your case. Have you discussed settling with your lawyer? Your lawyer should have told you that the insurer does not have to settle if they don't want to. They will only do it if they think it is in their best interests.
So no, there is no specific time limit for them getting back to your attorney.Ask a similar question
There is no set time for the defense to respond to your attorney's demand, and nothing can be done to force them to respond at all if they do not want to. If they truly want to try and settle your case, a response is usually received within 3-4 weeks.
Good luck.

I will defer to the Mass. Attys. here but in most situations the ins co has no obligation to respond at any time As an example if the demand was one million dollars on a case worth 50 thousand they might simply ignore it. Of course they usually want to settle cases so they will normally have a response and counter offer but the timing depends on a variety of factors out of your attys control. Typically the ins co atty needs to do an evaluation. The adjuster needs to do one and sometimes, depending on the value of the case, the adjuster s supervisor might need one. If any of those people aren't motivated to get it done it sits. I'm sure your atty will give them a polite nudge every few weeks. Best of luckAsk a similar question
There is no specific time frame set to respond to a demand letter. A demand letter is an opening of the door to begin settlement negotiations. Although carriers like to close out cases, please remember that they are under no obligation to accept or respond to your demand. You should speak to your lawyer about your desire to settle and your expectations.
My answers are for general purposes only and do not establish an attorney-client relationship. It is always best to consult an attorney who can review your specific case and provide you with legal advice.Ask a similar question
Generally you can not "force" an insurance company to settle a claim. Just like you cannot force someone to buy your house or sell their car for the price you want, if at all. You probably would want to follow up with your lawyer and ask what your options are and what the general procedure is regarding settlement.

INSIGHT-Keystone's death bolsters "keep carbon in the ground" camp
By Timothy Gardner and Bruce Wallace
WASHINGTON/LOS ANGELES Nov 10 (Reuters) - For environmentalists dedicated to killing it, President Barack Obama's rejection of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline unleashed a moment of euphoria. Activists celebrated with tequila shots at Sierra Club headquarters in San Francisco and in Lafayette Square across from the White House, site of the first anti-Keystone protests in 2011, when to most people it was just another pipeline.
But last Friday's presidential "no" to the 1,200-mile (1931 km) pipeline out of Alberta's oil sands may signal more than just a single, if remarkable, win for environmentalists. It stands to sharpen the fissure in the green movement between those who believe direct action can jar the world off its fossil fuel habit, and others who say only a collaborative approach that engages governments and corporations can deliver the large-scale solutions required to keep global temperatures in check.
For now, defeating Keystone has given oxygen to green groups that focus on keeping the dirtiest fossil fuels in the ground before they even are burned.
Belief that the world must refrain from extracting vast amounts of its known oil, coal and gas reserves has been gaining scientific and political traction among those who argue the humanity cannot risk allowing global temperatures to rise by more than 2 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial levels.
For many environmentalists, that urgency means less focus on lengthy international negotiations, such the Paris summit this December that seeks a consensus among world leaders on how to cut carbon emissions.
Instead, they favor demonstrations and legal actions that target not just energy projects like the oil sands, but the supporting infrastructure of railways, ports and pipelines that brings the most carbon intensive energy to market.
That spirit - dubbed "blockadia" by author Naomi Klein - has seen citizen activists delay coal exports to Asia at U.S. West Coast terminals, win a moratorium against oil and gas fracking in New York state, and led to "kayaktivists" swarming oil rigs leaving Seattle's port as part of Royal Dutch Shell's exploratory drilling in the Arctic this summer.
Keystone's defenders argue that its opponents scored a hollow victory, insisting the crude will still reach U.S. refiners by rail. (Graphic: here#section-figures) Continued...

Adding Dormer(s)
Hi, I just found this website and liked what I saw. So we are thinking about adding a dormer to our house. We are not ready to do this right now, but a project we'd like to start in the next few years. I guess I'm looking for advice and ideas on some of things I will need to keep in mind for when we start on the addition.Thanks- Rusty:)
Hi, give us some stuff to work with, Rusty. Pitch of roof, shape of roof, is the existing space used now, size and spacing of rafters, size of floor joists, venting of roof, where's the insulation presently, anything else you can think of. (What's your favorite colour?) Pictures help.
Alright, I got some info to start with. Right now it is a workable attic. I can walk on the floors, but pretty much have to be careful to not bump my head. I just put a new roof on this summer so I'm pretty familiar with the roof. The rafters are 2X4s, but I'm not sure on the distance apart off the top of my head. I need to refigure the pitch, but it is fairly steep ( the safety harnass gave me more confidence.) There are a few details but I'll have more on the way. Here is another question though. If a chimney is no longer being used for heating or ventilation, can it be removed, or altered in anyway without affecting the over all structure and stability of the roof or the future dormer.-Rusty
Til more details, if the chimney is holding the house up you're in trouble! Go ahead and remove it, as long as nothing is using it.
