One ancient source mentioned Dies Natalis Solis Invicti in the Chronography of 354, and Sol scholar Steven Hijmans stated that there is no evidence that the celebration [Dies Natalis Solis Invicti] precedes that of Christmas: "[W]hile the winter solstice on or around December 25 was well established in the Roman imperial calendar, there is no evidence that a religious celebration of Sol on that day antedated the celebration of Christmas, and none that indicates that Aurelian had a hand in its institution."
Since the Western Christmas (25 December) falls near the Winter Solstice (21 December), it occurs at the same time of the year as certain pagan solstice feasts. One such feast was the Roman celebration of Dies Natalis Solis Invicti (Nativity of the Invincible Sun), which commemorated the birth of the sun god Mithra. After Emperor Aurelian declared Mithra/Sol Invictus to be the patron of the Roman Empire in 274 AD, this feast in his honor became very popular.
Some say that the Christians invented Christmas, a feast in honor of Jesus' birth, as an alternative to this popular feast of Mithra's birth. Others claim that Christmas was never a separate feast, but is the feast of Sol Invictus itself, continued and adapted by pagan converts in the fourth century, after Constantine forced them to become Christians. Unwilling to abandon their beloved Mithraism, they changed Dies Natalis Solis Invicti into a feast of Christ's Nativity (since no one knows for sure what day Jesus was born).
This common theory has a few problems. First, careful study shows that Western Christians were celebrating Christmas on 25 December in the late third century, before the Sol Invictus festival was widely celebrated in the Empire 1. So Christians did not create this feast to oppose a popular Roman one. As far as Christmas being a "continuation" of a pagan festival, this seems unlikely when one considers the abhorrence many Christians felt toward paganism. Believers of Jewish descent did not suddenly lose their deep aversion to idolatry after Baptism, and converts from paganism often despised the religions which they left behind. Thousands of Christians died during the Romans persecutions rather than engage in pagan rites. Why would they embrace the hated celebrations of their persecutors?
"As long ago as 1958, the Israeli scholar Shemaryahu Talmon published an in-depth study on the calendar of the Qumran sect, and he reconstructed without the shadow of doubt the order of the sacerdotal rota system for the temple of Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 24, 7-18) in New Testament times. Here the family of Abijah, of which Zechariah was a descendent, father of John the herald and forerunner (Luke 1,5) was required to officiate twice a year, on the days 8-14 of the third month, and on the days 24-30 of the eighth month. This latter period fell at about the end of September. It is not without reason that the Byzantine calendar celebrated 'John's conception' on September 23 and his birth nine months later, on June 24. The 'six months' after the Annunciation established as a liturgical feast on March 25, comes three months before the forerunner's birth, prelude to the nine months in December: December 25 is a date of history" 2.
[In addition to this, the ancient "integral age" tradition is that the Prophets died on the same day they were conceived. With Passover set at 25 March, the Annunciation would have taken place on that same date -- and the Nativity would've taken place 9 months later, on 25 December.]
Even the common argument that shepherds would not have been in the fields in December is inaccurate. That is the time of the year when sheep naturally begin giving birth ("lambing"), and the shepherds would typically stay with the sheep at night to take care of the newborn lambs. In fact, the lambing season would have been the only time of the year in which the shepherds would have stayed with the flocks during the night (see Luke 2:8).This information seems to confirm that Jesus could well have been born on or near 25 December, perhaps even 6 January (considering the many possible normal fluctuations of gestational periods). So either of these traditional dates may be - or at least come very close to - Jesus' real birthday! The fact that December 25 happens to fall four days after the Winter Solstice is a coincidence of history (and the Eastern Christmas is sixteen days removed from the solstice, so it's harder to see a connection there).

Bulldog Cross Country Set For Saturday's Roy Griak Invitational
Sept. 27, 2013
ATHENS, Ga. --- Georgia's cross country teams traveled on Thursday to Minneapolis, Minn., for Saturday's 28th-annual Roy Griak Invitational.
UGA will race a course that weaves around the University of Minnesota's Les Bolstad Golf Course. The 8000-meter Merrill Fischbein Men's Gold race is scheduled to begin at 1:20 p.m. ET while the 6000-meter Jack Johnson Women's Gold competition is scheduled for 2:10 p.m.
"The group we are taking is our top 10 men and women at this point in the season and our top seven during the championship portion of the season will more than likely come out of this group," said Bulldog distance coach Patrick Cunniff, whose teams are not scheduled to run again after this meet until the Crimson Classic on Oct. 18/Wisconsin adidas Invitational on Oct. 19. "We are excited that our top 10 are ready to go for this type of meet. I expect the seniors, Charlie Sparks, Luke Baker and Brandon Lord, to lead the men and for Nicole DiMercurio, Bret McDaniel and Carly Hamilton to be the frontrunners for the women."
UGA will be facing a number of squads ranked in the latest U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) poll this weekend. In the women's national poll, No. 5 Arizona, No. 12 Michigan State, No. 19 Minnesota, No. 20 Vanderbilt, No. 21 N.C. State and No. 26 Iowa State are a group of the teams the Lady Bulldogs will be squaring off against.
The Georgia men, who like the Lady Bulldogs are still receiving votes in the national polls, will be racing No. 4 BYU, No. 24 N.C. State, No. 29 Arizona State and a host of other programs from around the country.
Seniors Stella Christoforou, Nicole DiMercurio and Savannah Kirk, juniors Carly Hamilton, Brooke Koblitz, Megan Malasarte, Bret McDaniel and Erika Ramsey and freshmen Morgan Ainslie and Jenn Cora will be representing the Lady Bulldogs in Minneapolis.
On the men's side, seniors Luke Baker, Brandon Lord and Charlie Sparks, juniors Brendan Hoban, Zack Sims and Steven Spevacek, sophomore Sid Vaughn and freshmen Trevor Grant, Brad Hort and Morgan Malanoski are traveling for Georgia.
Saturday's competition is the first for Georgia since a group competed at the Furman Cross Country Classic in Greenville, S.C., on Sept. 14.
"I thought we had really good performances at Furman and that it gave us exactly what we were looking for," said Cunniff. "It was also important to get Carly going before this weekend's meet. Since then, we have continued training as planned, still high-volume since we are nearing the midseason point. We will slowly be introducing the quality portion of training to them soon."
This will mark the second meet of the season for 11 of Georgia's top 20 performers traveling to this weekend's meet. Lord won the season-opening Georgia Cross Country Invitational and was named the USTFCCCA National Men's Athlete of the Week after clocking a 25:49.17. He joined a number of his teammates as they trained through the Furman meet.
DiMercurio captured her first collegiate cross title after finishing UGA's home course in 18:28.00. Two weeks later, Hamilton, who was ill during the first meet of the year, picked up a victory at the Furman Cross Country Classic after speeding to a finish of 20:25.53.
Another seven Georgia men and women will be competing in their third meet of the year. Kirk was the third Lady Bulldog to finish at the home meet for fourth place before being the second Georgia woman across the finish line (seventh overall) at the Furman meet.
Finally, a pair of Georgia runners who both competed at last year's NCAA Cross Country Championships will be making their season debuts. McDaniel, who scored in all six of the meets she ran in last season, and Vaughn, who was 212th at the 2012 national meet during his first season, are expected to be in Georgia's lineup on Saturday.
After taking a week off last week, Georgia's last action came at the Furman Classic. Hamilton was the Lady Bulldogs' top finisher. Kirk, Ainslie, Koblitz and Cora, who are also traveling to Minnesota, were the next four Georgia finishers at seventh, 16th, 17th and 22nd, respectively.
Spevacek was first across the line for the Bulldogs at the Furman meet after taking 22nd. Malanoski, Hort, Grant and Hoban also ran two weeks ago, scored and will be running against some of the nation's top competition on Saturday.

Hope you are having a great Birthday
Happy Birthday!
Where you been, man?
Happy Birthday
That's funny, I've been to Gangnam many times before. Not sure you want their...style...
Thanks man!
WHAT WHEELS are your avatar? Or do you not know?
Bummer. Yeah, from his description, he sold it within a couple hours. Maybe next time.
So it looks like the blue bugeye wagon from this morning sold. Was it you? *Crosses fingers...*
Just overall look. I saw that you were painting the "WRX" on that engraving behind the front wheel, I was thinking about doing it in blue to match the car. I figured after seeing your avatar that you'd have black wheels on your car too. I'm not sure how exactly I want to do it yet, but black with blue accents is what I would like to find, also was thinking about using blue lug nuts if I couldn't find rims that I liked with blue on them already. Lowering springs, thinking the Eibech Pro Kit, to drop it. Window tints (30% to keep it legal). Not sure for engine yet because of the cost and I'm a little worried about my warantee, but the Cobb AP with Cobb Intake/Air box would be my start. I am going to start going to local meets to hear what different exhausts sound like before I decide which I want.

Well we're almost ready, fill the water tanks and load the truck and we're good to go. Plus a little grocery shopping. Probably do that on the way up somewhere.
My runs are pretty set too. Friday will be a run down a re-explored road I ran 20 years ago. The pre-run group re-ran it this spring and proved to be a great trail with numerous creek crossings, a little playground of rocks and a more serious rock trail that has not yet been run. There's a bypass for that so those that want to watch can do so. The trail I suspect is about 0.5 miles long with an unknown number of challenges.
One we conquer that we have a trail called No-Bridge. As the name implies there isn't a bridge in sight, they were all removed with the logging stopped. between 8 and 12 missing bridges and some pretty steep grades down to the creek and back up out. Once we finish that time permitting we have a simply way out to Hwy 17 but that make for 30 miles road trip home. I'd rather explore and find the connector back over to Carp River which will cut the road miles in half and give us a few more options for other obstacles.
Saturday is much simpler with a trip to the Mine and Lions back if we can't fit that one in on Friday due to time.

Does alcohol make tumors and metastases grow faster, larger?
- Question from Conner: SABCS has reported that alcohol usage increases breast cancer recurrence. What about AFTER the breast cancer has returned? Does it make subsequent tumors and/or metastases grow faster or larger?
- Answers - Kathy D. Miller, M.D. The study that you mentioned looked at a large database of women who had been previously diagnosed and treated for breast cancer and compared the risk of recurrence in women based on their use of alcohol. They found a higher risk of recurrence in women who regularly drank more than seven to eight drinks a week compared to women who didn't use alcohol at all. Their study didn't include women who had already had a recurrence to see if it might alter their prognosis. The results of this study are very similar to previous studies, which had shown that consistent use of alcohol has a slight increase in the risk of developing breast cancer. For my patients with metastatic disease, I don't worry about them having an occasional glass of wine or alcoholic drink, but I do worry about regular daily use of alcohol.
The Ask-the-Expert Online Conference called Updates From the 2009 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium featured Kathy Miller, M.D. and Kristin Brill, M.D., F.A.C.S. answering your questions about the latest updates on breast cancer risk, screening techniques, treatment options, and more.
Editor's Note: This conference took place in December 2009.

I run http://meebal.com and I'm looking for a new theme. What I really need is a decent Front End Publishing system where users don't need to log in but has to have the functionality to add links, images and video.
At this point I'm open to suggestions, such as using Joomla, Drupal or WordPress. If anyone has any suggestions or could point me in the right direction I would be grateful.
Thanks Graham
does that mean anyone can add links/images/video ?

This product has been retired from our catalog and is no longer for sale. This page is made available for those looking for datasheets and the simply curious.
Description: These are the sturdy little stomp switches that you find on guitar effects pedals. They're DPDT on/on type switches which mount into a ½" diameter hole. You'll need at least 7/8" of depth beneath your mounting surface to accommodate the switch body. Use these as replacements in some types of effects pedals or, better yet, build your own!
Let me date myself. The old car floor Highbeam dimmer switch! :-)
FYI - Typically guitar effects that use a stomp switch use a 3P2D to allow for true bypass around the effect circuit. These would work great for a gain boost or selecting clipping diode configuration, etc.
There is a way around it: http://www.geofex.com/article_folders/bypass/bypass.htm
I should add that the third pole is used to control an indicator LED.
Never mind, I missed the answer to my question below.
Does the switch bottom out on the housing to take access pressure? Or if you step on it too hard will it break?
I see no depth for the threaded shaft. it's marked as l on the vendors diagram, probably to acomodate several models. could you tell me the length in mm?
Is this a push on, push again for off switch (like a car head light dipper/dimmer switch used to be); or do you have to keep pressure on it?
it's not a momentary, which you would need to keep depressed.
The time on the product video is wrong, its linked to 9s into the video when it should be 61 seconds.
Have you any idea of the pressure needed to activate, such as can a finger push light/heavy easily work these or is it indeed a 'stomp"?
The new products video showed Robert clicking it with his finger.

Gabrielle Union Covers Ocean Drive February 2012
She's gearing up for next month's release of her new film "Tyler Perry's Good Deeds," and Gabrielle Union was chosen to cover the February 2012 issue of Ocean Drive.
The 39-year-old Nebraska native posed for a stylishly shot Steve Erle spread while talking with the magazine about live with Dwyane Wade, her movie-making career and thoughts on having children.
Highlights from Gabrielle's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to check out Ocean Drive!
On getting sick when she's away from Miami:
"A week away is pretty much it for me. When I land in Miami, I feel like I've been holding my breath and am finally exhaling. I can breathe. I feel accepted, welcomed. I feel like I can be my true self, the woman I always aspired to be... More in Miami than any other place."
On keeping her house in California:
"[It has been] great because I have my own career and life elsewhere, I have a home I paid for with my own money, and I need to be able to nurture that as well."
On life with Dwyane Wade in Miami:
"D and I have a life together, too. I love my life in Miami, I can't imagine functioning without both, I love the design district, I love Midtown, I love what's happening downtown now. I can be at People's Bar-B-Que or Sustain or Prime One Twelve, and I'm comfortable. It's rare for me to feel that level of freedom. Miami represents joy for me."
On seeing a more diversely cast group of lead actresses:
"It's great for the other groups that are getting a chance to play more roles, and ideally, I'd like to think there were enough roles for everyone. But we are trying to get [filmmakers and producers] to consider that the doctor, a lawyer, even the lead could be an African-American woman."
On her career:
"I've been lucky; for the past year, I haven't really auditioned for anything; the parts I got were straight-up offers. I'm not so grand that I wouldn't audition. In fact, I wish I could audition more. There are a lot of people who won't give me a chance because I was in 'Bring It On' one thousand years ago. They don't think I can be more than that sassy sidekick. I guess they didn't see 'Cadillac Records' or 'Neo Ned.'"
On starting a family:
"I was never someone who thought about having kids – I mean, they're great in theory, but I never imagined having one [myself]. Maybe over the next five years I could wrap my brain around becoming a mother and what that would mean in terms of sacrifice and dedication. I don't do anything impulsively, so more toward the five years out than the one-year."

The lines are blurring between software and services — with the rise of cloud computing, that trend has accelerated faster than ever. But customers aren't just looking at cloud business models, such as software-as-a-service (SaaS), when they want more flexibility in the way they license and use software. While in 2008 upfront perpetual software licenses (capex) made up more than 80% of a company's software license spending, this percentage will drop to about 70% in 2011. The other 30% will consist of different, more flexible licensing models, including financing, subscription services, dynamic pricing, risk sharing, or used license models.
Forrester is currently digging deeper into the different software licensing models, their current status in the market, as well as their benefits and challenges. We kindly ask companies that are selling software and/or software related services to participate in our ~20-minute Online Forrester Research Software Licensing Survey, letting us know about current and future licensing strategies. Of course, all answers are optional and will be kept strictly confidential. We will only use anonymous, aggregated data in our upcoming research report, and interested participants can get a consolidated upfront summary of the survey results if they chose to enter an optional email address in the survey.

Forrester just published our latest forecast for the US market for business and government purchases of information technology (IT) goods and services (April 1, 2011, "US Tech Market Outlook, Q1 2011 -- Building a Springboard For Even Stronger Growth in 2012"), and we have raised our 2011 and 2012 outlooks: we now forecast 8% growth in the US in 2011 (up from our 7.4% forecast in January) and 10.3% in 2012 (compared with a 9.3% forecast earlier). For the broader ICT market (information and communications technology, adding in telecommunications services), 2011 growth will be 6.8% compared to a 5.1% rise in 2012.

As body ages, Jackie Chan longs for Hollywood's full embrace
By Eric Kelsey
BEVERLY HILLS, California (Reuters) - Jackie Chan wasn't in the mood for proclamations.
The Hong Kong martial arts film star, who declared last year at France's Cannes film festival that he was retiring from action films, now says that after more than a decade of contemplating quitting, he is going to let his body decide.
"When I was 40-something the media would ask me and then I said another five years, and then five years and five years until now," the Kung Fu actor said in an interview promoting his 2012 Chinese action film "Chinese Zodiac," which will be released in U.S. cinemas on Friday.
"Six more months and I'm going to be 60," Chan said. "And I (will) see how far I can go until my body tells me, 'Stop.'"
Chan, famous for performing all of his high-flying and physically punishing stunts, has appeared in more than 100 films and now writes, produces and directs his own films in Asia.
"I get hurt," the actor said after 50 years of flips, kicks and punches. "It gets really tiring, not like it used to be."
The only real outward sign of aging in Chan are some crow's feet around the eyes. He is obviously in great shape still, but won't reveal his secrets for staying that way.
But as Chan starts to enter his twilight years he laments how Hollywood typecasting may force him to begin using a stunt double for his acrobatic scenes as he believes Hollywood studios would never cast him in dramatic roles. Continued...

I'm not exactly sure, but I think this is coming out of the current combat casualty course in the military for treatment on the battlefield which covers the three most common causes of death on the battlefield. Uncontrolled bleeding, obstructed airway, and pneumothorax.
I imagine they assess the chest for sucking chest wounds and pneumothorax when they get to the breathing portion of the SCAB assessment.
I'd have to dig around in the current military special operations combat casualty handbook. I have a copy of it somewhere on one of my thumb drives, complements of one of my EMT students who was active duty Air Force and hoping to get accepted into the ParaRescueman pipeline (PJ's).

SBC Harmonic Balancer
Ive just about got my motor together but it seems that the 2 balancers I have are bad so I'm gonna have to find another one. My question is...is there a difference in the older (pre 80's) balancers and the newer ones. I know the SBC's changed a little around 85 or 86 so I want to make sure I get the right one. Thanks, S10
What size motor do you have? A 350 will use a different size balancer than a 307, and be sure not to use a 400 balancer on a 350 or vice a versa. The 400 has a counterweight because it is externally balanced.
i think they're all the same (but come in different sizes-getta 8") just don't getta 400 one. dont get one from summit either.
I was in a hurry when I posted this and didnt realize that I didnt put the size of my motor...its a 350. I know not to try and put a 400 balancer on it. I was referring more to the older 350's and newer 350's. I talked to a friend who has a little knowledge in this area and he told me he thought the only thing Chevy changed on their motors was the rear main seal and that the balancers havent changed. Thanks for the reply's though.
Hey bullheimer, whats wrong with the Summit balancers...is there a bad experiance I might need to know about?
The newer one peice main seal blocks use a different flexplate (or flywheel). Because of the one peice main seal crankshaft design, the rear crank counterweight was eliminated, therefore a different flexplate with a counterweight is used. this flexplate may look simular to a 400 flexplate but they are not the same. The front balancer for the 350 is standard, however chevy made numerous different designs of balancers. Make sure the you have the right one. The timing mark tabs and TDC (top dead center) mark on the balancer may be in different locations (Top of timing cover or side) depending on year of production. P.S. Always have a rebuilt engine professionally balanced.
the outside of summits dampers' snout was so rough it would have eaten up the rubber seal in 10 minutes, had to get it smoothed at a machine shop, it also didn't line up with my pulleys and i had to have the machine shop take like an eighth of an inch off the end. suckee. had it on and off a bunch of times before i realized it was too long. motors running fine despite pounding in on 10 tens with a huge block! stripped my bolt threads tho. get one elsewhere, 8 inch. better yet getta fluid-dampner

It's been a little while since I did a weigh-in update and my excuse is that life suddenly got very busy and demented in the Dragon household. It all got a little dramatic as well so I really did not have time to worry about weight and do an update.
First of all my parents came to visit because it was my son's birthday. I love having my parents to stay, but I always feel that I need to do a major household clean before they come. When I say major I mean major, I don't think there was a surface in the house that escaped. They were here for a long weekend, Friday tea time till Wednesday morning. When they came so did the rain. We had torrential rain, not as bad as the rain we had when the road outside flooded but bad enough.
Due to the rain I discovered that the roof above the bay window in the dining room was leaking. At first we thought the gutter was overflowing and ventured up a ladder to clear it. You can imagine me up a pair of step ladders in the pouring rain with my hand in a gutter. We then noticed that we have four cracked tiles above the bay window. We made make shift repairs with some plastic and are now waiting for the roofer. Dispute all this my parents had a good time and my son had a lovely birthday (although I still can't believe he is twelve).
I didn't manage to do any running that week and was rather hoping to get out this week and do some but then it froze. The paths in the Rising Sun Country Park have turned into sheet ice. Here is my dog demonstrating the ice after skating over the bridge.
The paths are actually bridle ways and yesterday we followed a horse along the path. It was so treacherous that the horse was slipping and in the end had to turn back as it was unable to cross the bridge. I didn't dare go running in this either and am seriously thinking a pair of ice skates might be a good idea. Just to add to the fun I went out this morning and we had a layer of snow. I hope I can get back running soon.
Needless to say with my parents here and birthday tea I have been eating a bit too much as well. I know I have put on weight this week as the jeans I was able to get into when I finished Jenny Craig will not do up. How much I am not sure as someone has twiddled my scales and it says I have lost weight! I think it is only a couple of pounds. I am not that worried to be honest as I know what to do to lose weight so will make an effort this week to be good.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/4/2014 (1162 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
That sound you barely hear at the Keystone Centre this weekend is horse whispering.
The Keystone and the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba are again hosting their unique Horse3 event in the Westoba Agricultural Centre of Excellence in the Keystone Centre on Good Friday through Easter Sunday.
In its seventh year, Horse3 celebrates the power and wonder of the horse-human relationship through its weekend of equine guided education and entertainment.
At Horse3, a multitude of equine disciplines are featured. Fans attend clinics, see demonstrations and entertainment, get the opportunity to "ride with the experts" and purchase products at the H3 Trade Show for all aspects of their horse-centric lives.
Returning this year and a perennial highlight of the weekend is the NAERIC Trainer's Challenge colt starting competition.
Three clinicians take a young horse out of a supplied select herd and individually call upon their knowledge, skills and ability to quickly form understandings and relationships between horse and trainer. This challenge showcases the unique connection between horse and human — something not to be missed.
This year's competitors include Sean Patrick, Steve Rother and Kaylee Mills.
Another highlight will be the "Evening of the Horse" on Saturday beginning at 7:30 p.m., featuring demonstrations, entertainment and a chance to mingle with the trainers, judges and clinicians of this year's Horse3.

You might want to look at the Ruger SR9c. I love mine and it is very reliable and easy to conceal.
Unlike a similar post, I'm not looking for a strictly range gun. It will be carried/in the car type weapon. While the Beretta/Taurus are great guns,
the 92 series are way too big for me anymore. I have a Kahr K9 that the jury is still out on ( had failures and then a broken recoil spring. ) Its a longstory but I'm not ready to buy another yet. However for a 3 1/2 in barrel it was one of the most accurate handguns I've owned. Reliability is THE
important factor. A 3 1/2 in barrel is about the limit. Practical distance should 4 in group or less from 25 yards. Recoil is a concern, I've seen too
many guys that buy cannons only to see them jump when they pull the trigger.
I have no recent experience with any 9mm in about 10/12 years so I'm open to suggestions. I know the Bersa 22 I had was stone cold reliable as was their 9mm's but I don't know anything about them today. Price can go to 500 or 600 or so but not much more. Kimber, Sig etc out of the
ballpark for me but there should be a fair amount of weapons filling this price range. Opinions are ok but I'd prefer to hear from actual owners and
their impressions of their respective weapons. Thanks..
You might want to look at the Ruger SR9c. I love mine and it is very reliable and easy to conceal.
A lot of nice options for 9mm Range + Carry: Glock 26 or 19, Walther P99C or PPS, Smith and Wesson M&P-C; Ruger SR9c, Beretta Storm PX4 Subcompact; Sig 239 or 250; Springfield XDM 3.8.
If you like a revolver like trigger you should look at the Sig P250.....long pull but smooth as a baby's butt....JJ
I only have two pistols that's been issue free and accurate at 25 feet (where I practice at.) 25 yards is pushing it and you can't claim SD if your foe's 75 feet away from ya unless he/she has a gun then it becomes the wild west shootout.
Sigma 9mm, has hard trigger but I removed the torsion spring (put there to make trigger hard, trigger has its own spring and the sear has its own springs) and it made it lot better but still hard enough for safety.
Sig Sauer P250c 40sw, trigger is long and smooth, so easy to shoot.
Take a good look at the Glock 19. This gun is light, reasonable on muzzle jump, and extremely reliable. In California you can get a Gen4 Glock 19 for $499! I seem to be extremely accurate with this gun and i love the trigger break. Go to the range and check it out.
Also on my list to get (if you find one let me know) is the Smith & Wesson 3913. This is an all metal gun that is 8+1 and very accurate. Muzzle jump is almost non existent because of the weight. DOn't be turned off by "weight" because it's heavier than a polymer gun. Obviously the heavier the slide, the less muzzle jump. Its a Double/Single action that is smoooooooth!!
Lastly, check out the Walther PPQ. This gun is extremely accurate and has a "dream trigger" as referenced by Hickok45. Watch his review of this gun and the glock 19. It will give you a good history and visual of the guns.
Here are the links to Hickok45's videos!
Glock 19
Glock 19 Gen 4 - YouTube
Walther PPQ
Walther PPQ - YouTube
GLOCK 19, good size for carry, very very very reliable, you have different options of magazine capacity depending on the state your in, how many rounds Glock owners have reported putting down the range is outstanding in my opinion, and I'm a proud owner of one. It's a gun that I feel 100% satisfied with when carrying and love taking it to the range. Oh and did I mention how very very very reliable it is. If I could have only one gun it will be a Glock, Why? Because it's a Glock.
I have three that make pretty nice carry guns. 1-Beretta 92fs Centurian, 2-S&W 5903TSW and 3- Sig P6.However I regularly carry a Sig P229R.
My vote goes to Glock G26. Easy to conceal. Lots of fun to shoot....
You're most likely answer on any forum will be Glock.If you can deal with the feel and shoot it,great.I'm not a fashion follower,I didn't like Glock when they started out and I'm still there.I got rid of a Smith 5900 series and now an early Beretta 92 is my only 9 but I have little use for them since I like the 45.1911s are my go to gun,but in 9 I'd just go HK and be done with it.The only thing I'd trade my HK for is another,or a killer trade on a long gun.The Walther PPQ sounds promising but I've never seen one in person yet.Not my gig but I need my hands on one
Glock 19! In my opinion, it is THE BEST DANGED GUN EVER MADE, especially for Concealed Carry. (And I have owned a few and shot a few more). It is light but not TOO light; it's accurate, compact, durable, has a high-cap mag, eats +P+ JHP's like candy, won't rust very easily, will use the 17-round mag from the larger G17; it's easy to maintain, easy to field strip and reassemble, has an accessory rail, and it's a GLOCK. So, yeah. It works at the range, in the field, in the car, in good or bad weather, under water, and possibly in space. It is the astronaut pen of the gun world. And to let you know that I am not just a Glock nut, drunk on the hype, I used to HATE Glocks. I thought they were ugly, over-rated little pug-dogs. But then I started researching them seriously, trying to be unbiased. Finally, I was given one (my G19, Elanor) as a graduation gift. I will never consistently carry anything else, again. (I carry my 1911A1 or my PPK every now and then, just to mix it up a little, but always go back to Elanor.) The 9mm is starting to make a comeback with the invention of more defense-oriented ammo, as its negative stigma is disappearing now that people are figuring out that all FMJ's SUCK for defense (yes, even .45 ACP). In short, this gun is GREAT.
-The Doctor.
I suggest you look at the CZ family.
My CZ 75 B
My CZ P07 Duty
Or the
S&W M&P Pro line
My 9c
If you are familiar with and like the 92FS platform, a great transition would be the PX4 compact or the subcompact, although the subcompact has a 3 inch barrel.
For my carry guns I have a Stoeger Cougar 8000 F L which is about 3/4 of an inch shorter that the full size model and a Beretta PX4 Sub compact. The PX4 is easier to carry concealed in the summer and both shoot probably better than I can do them justice. I've put well over 1000 rounds through both and had ZERO issues.
The Cougar was less than $400 and whenever I go to the range (which is most Saturdays) everyone wants to shoot it and NOT give it back. It's not a light gun but then in 9mm it has very little muzzel flip. the Beretta was $469 and I love it. IT has a 3 inch barrel but I have no problems with 5 inch groupings at 7-10 yards. I carry the PX4 daily and frankly don't ever see the need to shoot if at a distance of greater than 25 feet, if that so I practice what I hope to never have to shoot.
$400 range id suggest the ruger lc9 or taurus 24/7 g2 c.
$500-600 range id look into a xdm9c or glock 26.
I'm another vote for the Glock 19. I'm near 5000 rounds in mine and it has never ever gone wrong. That said, I also love the M&P.

I recently led a photography workshop in Glacier National Park for the Wilderness Institute at the University of Montana. It was a wonderful experience. The weather was perfect and the fall colors in Glacier were spectacular.
What's particularly amazing to me is that many of the workshop participants had little, or no formal, photographic training and yet they all created some fantastic images! I hope that you enjoy watching this slide show of their work as much as I enjoyed showing these great young artists around the park.
If you are in Missoula, Montana please check out their gallery show downstairs at The Darkroom starting December 3rd.

Navy contractor to be sentenced in $18M scheme
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The founder of a U.S. Navy contractor from Georgia is scheduled to be sentenced in a federal court in Rhode Island for his part in a long-running kickback scheme that cost the Navy $18 million.
Anjan Dutta-Gupta, of Roswell, Ga., is scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday.
He founded contractor Advanced Solutions for Tomorrow, or ASFT, which had offices in Middletown, R.I.
Dutta-Gupta is one of six people convicted in the scheme, pleading guilty to bribery in 2011. He has not been sentenced while he assisted the investigation into others, including civilian Navy employee Ralph Mariano, the scheme's mastermind. Mariano started a 10-year prison term last week.
Dutta-Gupta acknowledged he funneled millions to Mariano and others after Mariano approved money be added to Navy contracts held by ASFT.

Smelly Dog?
Shasta has been extremely stinky/oily lately. (Yes, he's been to the vet, checked out fine they said)
I'm not terribly concerned as he acts perfectly normal, but I'm just sick of his foul odor. He was inside not 10 minutes, and the whole room stunk! (No it's not a gas or breath problem, it's his fur/skin)
We give him baths about once a month, but his smell comes back within a week.
Our other boy is perfectly fine. He smells okay even if he goes 2mo without bathing.
My ultimate question is this: are there any supplements to improve his foul odor? (He already has skin supplements like raw eggs or fish oil, and brewers yeast)
Again, he's only been smelling bad the past few months...

Hi Shasta, happy Thanksgiving! Do you think that (because he is so well taken care of) that any of the supplements could cause odor, like garlic? make a list and bring it to your vet. I am a fan of Whisker City deodorizing & grooming wipes at PSmart. The smells are not heavy but pleasant. I have a long hair that is prone to dingleberries when a stray poop piece gets stuck in her fur (which must smell worse than your guy!) I remove the nasties with one wipe and then scrub with a clean one, and usually the odor is gone. There are other brands of wipes like Nature's Miracle, but I started with a trial size of different smells and found one we both could tolerate. I also like Viva La Dog Spa grooming spritz. It's non-offensive and a little fru fru, but does the job in masking light stink. Finally, I'm a fan of all things made by Davis brand. They are economical and I'm sure you can find many products such as shampoos, conditioners, wipes and sprays to concentrates. Best, Tasha

What you are describing usually results from TOO MUCH fat in the diet, not too little. All this oil builds up in the hair follicles where it actually becomes rancid and ends up stinking.
If you are feeding a good balanced diet I would stop the eggs, fish oil, AND brewers yeast. Some dogs are "easy keepers" and will do best with LESS fats and oils in their diets...too much and they will build up and cause an oily skin and odor. This is especially true with the sporting dogs and the hounds who naturally produce more skin oils than other breeds such as poodles and soft coated breeds.
Bathing in a good shampoo that cuts the oil, Dawn is highly recommended, should help remove some of this excess oil from his skin and hair follicles. You will probably get the sames results as you would by purchasing the Rx anti-lipid shampoos from the vets, and, as the previous poster noted, it is much cheaper. Be sure to rinse well. Coupled with a diet with less added fats should improve his coat.

Do you dry your dog completely after bathing? Dry her off before you set them loose in the home. This will help keep that pungent smell down and probably be more comfortable for your pup than air drying. Also, your dog might be playing on wet surface or ground. Keep her away from wet areas.

800 University WaySpartanburg, SC 293031-864-503-5000
The USC Upstate School of Education has developed a series of partnerships with local schools, districts, and community organizations. These partnerships and the faculty members involved are described below.
DUNBAR CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTERThe Dunbar Child Development Center and USC Upstate have developed a professional relationship, which provides university students in the early childhood program meaningful practicum experiences and children at the center enriching instructional experiences. Students in SEDE 445, SEDE 410, SEDE 422, and SEDE 420 meet in a classroom at the child development center for course lectures and discussion. During clinical experiences students are integrated into the early childhood settings for observation and directed teaching. The Dunbar Child Development Center is a part of Greenville County Public School System. It provides services for infants through four years old. Programs such as family literacy, ESL, and Head Start, are also found in this center.
DUNCAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLIn the spring of each year, undergraduate elementary education majors enrolled in reading and language arts methods spend two mornings a week on site at Duncan Elementary. In addition to meeting these university classes, students spend approximately an hour of each day providing support for teachers and students in elementary classrooms. Planning with the classroom teacher, USC Upstate students implement both small group and whole class lessons related to reading and language arts.
D. R. HILL MIDDLE SCHOOLIn 1996, Spartanburg County School District Five and D.R. Hill Middle School formed a partnership with the USC Upstate School of Education. The faculty, administration and students of D.R. Hill help to strengthen the student teaching and clinical components of the USC Upstate teacher education program by providing opportunities for intensive real world experience for prospective teachers. USC Upstate School of Education faculty members, in turn, provide in-service professional development opportunities for D.R. Hill faculty and administrators. One hallmark of the partnership is its provision for teacher education methods courses to be delivered on-site at D.R. Hill creating an environment for the better preparation of prospective middle and secondary level teachers.
DISTRICT SEVEN SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPWith the support of a Title II Teacher Quality Enhancement Grant sponsored by the South Carolina State Department, the Learning Disabilities Program established partnerships with local schools and to provide the USC Upstate students experiences necessary for K-12 certification preparation. These experiences involve three student considerations: to recognize the teaching responsibilities and student needs unique to elementary, middle, and secondary school levels; to teach within different delivery of service models including resource, self-contained, and general classrooms; and to work with students with learning disabilities who require a range of different instructional techniques designed to meet their specific needs.
MARY H. WRIGHT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL A professional development school partnership between USC Upstate and Mary H. Wright Elementary School in Spartanburg has been awarded financial support from the South Carolina Department of Education. Two classroom teachers, Monica Threatt and Shelley Winkler, and an administrator, Dean Blanton, from Mary Wright, and two USC Upstate faculty members formed a team focused on the professional growth of team members, the preparation of USC Upstate education majors, and the enhanced learning of Mary Wright students. Teachers at Mary Wright come to USC Upstate to speak to university students in the combined reading/language arts methods classes. Mr. Blanton provides on-site orientation to Mary Wright, an urban school with ninety-nine percent of its students on free and reduced lunch. Mary Wright teachers assist in the design and implementation of field experiences related to the reading/language arts classes. USC Upstate faculty substitute in the classrooms of the Mary Wright teachers gaining experiences pertinent to their roles as education professors. Selected students from the reading/language arts classes serve as teaching assistants for Mary Wright teachers.
FLORENCE CHAPEL MIDDLE SCHOOL Since Florence Chapel Middle School opened in 2005, Spartanburg County School District Five and Florence Chapel Middle School and the USC Upstate School of Education have worked together as partners in the preparation of middle grades teachers. The faculty, administration and students of Florence Chapel Middle School help to strengthen the student teaching and clinical components of the USC Upstate teacher education program by providing opportunities for intensive real world experience for teacher candidates. USC Upstate School of Education faculty members, in turn, provide in-service professional development opportunities for Florence Chapel Middle School faculty and administrators. One hallmark of the partnership is its provision for teacher education methods courses to be delivered on-site at Florence Chapel Middle School, an authentic environment for the better preparation of prospective middle grades teachers.
SCHOOL-UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIP DAY This is a collaborative between Jesse Bobo Elementary School in Spartanburg District Six and the School of Education. A group of 5th grade students are chaperoned by the principal and classroom teachers to visit our campus for the day. They will listen to a variety of speakers from campus, tour the campus, and have lunch in the cafeteria. The School of Education faculty members involved in this initiative believe it is important for students to begin thinking about their futures at an early age and to see what college life is all about. This collaborative is a first-step in providing children with information about teacher education, and university life in general.
SOUTH CAROLINA SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF AND THE BLINDThe USC Upstate School of Education works collaboratively with the South Carolina School for the Deaf and Blind (SCSDB). SCSDB serves as a practicum, service learning, and field-based experience site for both graduate and undergraduate students. USC Upstate and SCSDB also work closely together to provide quality professional development for teachers across the state serving students who are blind and/or visually impaired.
WOODMONT MIDDLE SCHOOL, GREENVILLE COUNTY SCHOOLSOn-site course delivery of middle grades curriculum and clinical courses which provide an authentic environment for the better preparation of prospective middle grades teachers. The faculty, administration and students of Woodmont Middle School help to strengthen the student teaching and clinical components of the USC Upstate middle grades teacher preparation program by providing opportunities for intensive real world experience for middle school teacher candidates.
SPARTANBURG DISTRICT 4 COLLABORATION Middle grades and secondary education teacher candidates complete their Clinical I (SEDS 342) experience at Woodruff Middle and High Schools. Teacher candidates are placed in content classrooms where they complete 30 hours of observation and an ethnography of adolescent learners. This is the second semester for this collaborative effort.
BOILING SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL – SPARTANBURG SCHOOL DISTRICT 2 Teacher candidate clinical experience and service learning are provided in the social studies methods class for middle and secondary teacher candidates that is taught at BSHS.. Faculty in-service is also available. When possible, teacher candidates work in the ESOL lab with non-native speakers in a tutoring situation.
POCALLA SPRING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL – SUMTER DISTRICT 2Upstate elementary teacher candidates tutor students who scored low in the area of reading on the PACT test. The SEDR 444 Struggling Reader class is taught on site weekly at Pocalla Springs Elementary as well. Story-telling sessions and faculty in-service are provided.
CROSSWELL DRIVE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SUMTER DISTRICT 17 K-Kids (a service organization for children.) was formed at Crosswell. Upstate students also designed a Math Jeopardy Game for the students to review for PACT testing.
LEMIRA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL – SUMTER SCHOOL DISTRICT 17 On-site course delivery, teacher candidate clinical experience and service learning, and eacher candidate student teaching experience are done in partnership with Lemira and the Sumter campus. Faculty in-service is also provided.
CLINICAL AND PRACTICUM EXPERIENCES All USC Upstate School of Education professional courses require a practicum experience in public schools beginning with the introductory foundations course. Practicum experiences are intended to provide students with opportunities to relate theories to actual practice; to create meaningful learning experiences; and to study under the guidance of an experienced classroom teacher. These practica are an integral part of specific education courses and as such are supervised by the instructor of those courses in collaboration with the classroom teacher. The School of Education partners with the schools of Spartanburg and Greenville Counties to provide these practicum experiences for our students.
DIRECTED TEACHINGDirected teaching is a supervised clinical experience totaling 70 or more days. Each USC Upstate education major receives experience within his or her certification area. Students are placed with an experienced classroom teacher where they observe, assist and eventually take over and teach the class. The experience includes an exploration of ethical and legal issues, research through analysis and evaluation of teaching and analyzing the teacher candidate's impact on student learning.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND RECERTIFICATION COURSESThe School of Education, through its Graduate Programs Division provides professional development opportunities for area teachers in addition to offering Master of Education degrees in Elementary and Early Childhood Education. Some professional development courses are special topics courses for which teachers pay regular tuition. Others are courses contracted for by local districts or other professional units such as the Upstate HUB and provided free of charge to qualified teachers. Faculty members at USC Upstate have also received funding for grants, which provide professional development opportunities for area teachers. Dr. Rebecca Stevens is the director.
TEACHER CADETS The South Carolina Center for Teacher Recruitment sponsor the Teacher Cadet program, an honors high school class designed to attract academically talented students into the teaching profession. Since the implementation of the Teacher Cadet Program in 1986, thousands of bright young people have explored the field of education and approximately 38% of these have entered the profession. USC Upstate serves as a college partner with nine local Teacher Cadet Sites: Boiling Springs, Broome, Byrnes, Chapman, Chesnee, Dorman, Greer, Landrum, and Spartanburg High Schools. Faculty members from the School of Education visit these Teacher Cadet Sites and present information from the curriculum. Planning sessions for the teachers, professional resources such as books ad videos, as well as a visitation day for cadets to tour the USC Upstate campus are provided. This collaboration between local high schools and the School of Education provides USC Upstate with the opportunity to showcase its programs to high school seniors and recruit the next generation of teachers.
TEACHING FELLOWS INSTITUTE The USC Upstate School of Education is 1 of 11 Teaching Fellows Institutes in the state. Our program is in the top 3 of the most desired choices for high school graduates applying to become a Fellow. The mission of the South Carolina Teaching Fellows Program is to recruit talented high school seniors into the teaching profession and to help them develop leadership qualities. Each year, the program provides Fellowships for up to 175 high school seniors who have exhibited high academic achievement, a history of service to the school and community, and a desire to teach South Carolina's children.

General Assembly) administered by the Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention, & Advancement (CERRA). A Fellow agrees to teach in South Carolina one year for every year he/she received the Fellowship.
SCHOOL OF EDUCATION DIVERSITY CONFERENCE This collaborative endeavor between USC UPSTATE and Benedict College brings teacher education students together each fall and spring to encourage understanding and growth regarding diversity by getting teacher candidates from diverse backgrounds to meet and work with one another. It is strictly for students in their directed teaching semester and includes student teachers from the following campuses: USC Upstate, Benedict College, South Carolina State University, Claflin University, Columbia International University, USC Columbia, Converse College, Morris College, Furman University and Clemson University. This highly successful conference has gained national recognition.
PROJECT CREATE USC Upstate is one of eleven universities and colleges participating in the CREATE (Centers for the Re-Education and Advancement of Teachers in Special Education) consortium. This initiative funded by the South Carolina Office of Exceptional Children provides course scholarships and textbooks to over five hundred public school teachers completing their special education licensure. At USC Upstate, the School of Education provides tuition reimbursements and supplies to qualified full-time public school employees enrolled in the Learning Disability Teacher Assistant Program. This teacher training Program offers courses for completing add-on or initial k-12 certification in Learning Disabilities. Fall and spring semester classes are scheduled in the evening to accommodate the teacher candidates' work hours on both the Greenville and Spartanburg campuses. The School of Education in concert with CREATE strives to satisfy the growing needs for a highly-qualified special education teacher force in South Carolina.
USC UPSTATE SPEAKERS BUREAU Faculty members in the School of Education are proud to participate in the USC Upstate Speakers Bureau. The Bureau provides speakers for community organizations and agencies on a variety of topics. Speakers are considered experts in their fields and provide these services at no cost to the agencies other than normal travel expenses. Participating faculty and their areas of expertise are listed in the university brochure.
TEACHER ASSISTANT MERGED PROGRAM IN ELEMENTARY EDUCATION AND LEARNING DISABILTIESThis new initiative provides teacher assistants currently employed in schools the opportunity to gain Elementary and Learning Disability certification. Each semester, the School of Education offers two evening professional-level courses on both the Greenville and Spartanburg campuses. Individuals who have an undergraduate degree participate as 'certification only' candidates. Others, who have significant coursework towards a degree, may earn a Bachelor of Arts in Education. Successful completes of both options become eligible to receive certification in Elementary Education and Learning Disabilities.
CHARLES LEA CENTER We have created a partnership with the Charles Lea Center to provide campus classes and activities to adult clients. The College Enrichment Experience meets Wednesday nights and offers six classes – Basic Reading, Basic Math, Beginning Computer Skills, Current Events, History of Spartanburg, and Low-impact Aerobics. Additionally, clients have the opportunity to eat dinner on campus and attend extracurricular and cultural events.
TEACHER-TO-TEACHER PROGRAM District 6 and the School of Education are working together to provide a fifth-year mentoring program to selected students. These spring teacher candidates work during the fall with their cooperating teachers and continue with them during directed teaching. During the Induction Year, if they continue in District 6, the university mentors the new teachers and provides a graduate course to them. The program is modeled on the Furman Teacher-to-Teacher program.
SHERMAN COLLEGE OF CHIROPRACTIC PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE The Office of Graduate Programs and Special Initiatives coordinated the Teaching Methodology Institute for the faculty at Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The professional development Institute provided three courses: Principles of Learning, Instructional Design, and Instructional Methodology. Institute participants deepened their knowledge and skills in teaching strategies for a variety of learners specific to their teaching content within the chiropractic profession. These 10 week professional development courses each award 2 CEU credits. The courses were taught by School of Education faculty. USC Upstate awarded 78 Continuing Education Certificates to the program's 16 participants who attended the 9-month program.
