Light on weight, heavy on sound with 1000W of bangin' sub-bass boom.
The PRX618S-XLF extended low frequency subwoofer was designed and engineered to provide sub-bass frequencies with accuracy and power. Used as a single sub, in a sub/sat system, or in multiples as part of a scalable, large format sound reinforcement system, the PRX618S-XLF performs with extreme efficiency and control. This sub is stackable and lightweight, ensuring quick setups and teardowns. And, due to its rugged construction, it's perfect for AV rental inventories. With a pole receptacle (that accepts a SS4-BK or SS4-BK24, sold separately) on the top panel and integrated stereo pass-thru, this is the most powerful low-frequency complement to the PRX full-range systems. The addition of a polarity reverse option further enables system optimization.
The PRX618S-XLF is a high performance self-powered subwoofer system. The PRX618S-XLF is comprised of a powerful 2268FF Differential Drive dual voice-coil and magnetic gap, neodymium woofer driven by a 1000W (dual 500W) Crown Class-D power amplifier. Dual-Bridge Technology directly links discrete amplifier channel outputs to each voice coil in the Differential Drive woofer. Electrical power transfer to the transducer is optimized for more power performance. A proprietary DSP chip is at the core of a fully featured input section, providing user selectable cross-over functionality, polarity optimization, protection, dynamic limiting, and discrete component optimization.
The amplifier input panel offers stereo inputs with XLR or 1/4" jack compatibility. A user-selectable crossover ensures a smooth transition to full-range system connected to the stereo outputs. Signal present and limiter lights indicate the system status and assist in setting the optimum level, via the level control knob.
Like all the PRX600 Series cabinets, the PRX618S-XLF is built from a combination of 25mm (on the top and bottom for added rigidity) and 18mm, strong, lightweight poplar plywood made structurally sound with tongue and groove joints. All PRX600 Series cabinets are protected by JBL's tour proven DuraFlex finish. The grille is made from dent-resistant 16-gauge steel and its handles are made from lightweight glass-filled nylon for added strength and durability.
Special note: JBL highly recommends that no more than 70 pounds of weight be placed on a speaker pole that is mounted to a PRX618S or PRX618S-XLF.

The on-site power generation industry currently employs 1,800 to 2,200 technicians in the United States, but with two back-to-back unusually active hurricane seasons in the Southeast raising awareness of the need for back-up power generators, the industry is now operating with a deficit of workers, according to Leo LeBlanc, chairman of the technician certification committee for the Electrical Generating Systems Association (EGSA). LeBlanc says the industry currently has 750 job openings. So where do you go to find a qualified technician to work on all these units?
Although there are nearly 20 schools and training programs nationally dedicated to educating those in the on-site power generation industry, no national certification standards existed for generator technicians — until now. This month, proctors across the nation will administer the first Electrical Generator Systems Technician Certification exams through a program with Ferris State University in cooperation with EGSA.
The 250-question comprehensive exam covers topics such as basic electricity, generators/alternators, instrumentation and controls, automatic transfer switches, voltage regulators, and auxiliary support systems.
"For the first time, we have standards in this industry through which we can measure proficiency, so that somebody in Maine will be measured by the same standards as somebody in Texas," says George Rowley, EGSA director of education.
No prerequisites are required to take the exam, but LeBlanc recommends a minimum of three to four years of field experience. While there are no formal test preparation materials available at this time, Rowley says the 500-page "On-Site Power Generation: A Reference Book" is a useful study tool.
The exam fee is $160 for EGSA members or employees of member companies, and $425 for all other applicants. A score of 80% is required to obtain certification, and the test must be retaken every five years to maintain certification.
For more information, visit the organization's Web site at www.egsa.org.

Example: If I'm going to do a 9 patch with 4 1/2 " squares for a finished size of 12" what exactly do I square up? I can't square it up to a 12" because once it's all sewn together the blocks will be smaller and I can't do 12 1/2 because I already lost 1/4" with the squares I sewed together. or can I? I hope someone can clear this up for me cuz I can't even understand what I wrote :?
Thanks, Kris

Road Trip Movie Done, Arms Hurting
and some giant owls:
My tendons are still a bit ouchy, so that'll have to do for the moment.

*sigh* reminds me of the good days at camelot, what with the jousting, the birds of prey, the rollercoaster rides...that's camelot up here in the north west, which everyone automatically associates with the round table and king arthur of course
anyway, looks like it was a beautiful day in cornwall. i decided to properly clean my little car, only for it to absolutely pour down a few hours later. i blame a variation of sod's law

Gah. How dare you be brilliant and swift like that. Here I was going to introduce you to the joys of www.earth.google.com, which would woosh you across America As If You Were Really There (Wooo). The free version is apparently much fun, though actually would probably waste much precious time.

Ohh! An owl! Somebody post one to me!

I've been trying to fight my motherly urges but it's no good - so I'll just say this, take it easy, keep your tendons warm and enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done. There, now I can go back to knitting cosies for my filing cabinets and clucking round my younger, male colleagues.

I've actually read his movie script and although it is abso - blinking - lutely marvellous, it probably isn't as good as giant owls and jousting.*
For those of us not lucky enough to live in Cornwall, it will have to do though.
*But if you were to write a script in which giant owls actually joust... ooh, that would be worth an hour and a half of anyone's time.

Hello nanga. K12 agrees that the coma ending could be less cheesy, so all the himalayan mountains are now broadly arranged in the same direction, which is convenient.
But yes, jousting giant owls would be cooler. And some weasels, rampant.

- patroclus said...
Owls and weasels - together at last! I'm not sure how long the weasels would last if they were rampant, though. Probably better off being couchant lest the jousting owls spy them.
It's like the Knight's Tale with animals, isn't it? Still, anything would be preferable to Heath Ledger.

I think I meant 'broadly arraigned'. Words. Tch.
Mmm... couchant...
I did like the chick in that one though, whose name, if I remember correctly was Shannononon Sossssymyymyn. Anyway, she was very attractive and had a whole eyebrow thing going on. Paul Bettany was fab too, but I don't fancy him.
He would have made the perfect Constantine though. But the film still would have been shit. But not quite as shit.

Constantine! I saw that the other night. Pure comedy genius. One of the funniest things I've seen for years. I might have to write a post about it.
Bettany was indeed great - and as an added bonus, intermittently naked - in A Knight's Tale, but thingummyjig Purefoy definitely had the edge in the Attractive Men In This Film stakes.

Distance Learning | News
To help meet a growing demand, Dallas' Southern Methodist University will launch a new Master of Science degree in data science in 2015, with courses drawn across its schools of humanities and sciences, engineering, and the arts.
Although the program is online only, students will take synchronous classes on a weekly basis on subjects like computer science, statistics, strategic behavior, and data visualization. The format is designed to foster more collaboration between teachers and students. Lecture materials will still be available on demand through a platform developed for the university by 2U, an online course management provider for higher ed.
"We look forward to building an innovative online data science program that will prepare students to effectively manage and analyze data as well as communicate and visualize findings," said SMU Provost and vice president for academic affairs Paul W. Ludden in a statement.
Students in the program, named DataScience@SMU by the university, will complete a total of 30 credits of core coursework in statistics, data mining, and data visualization, and a 1-credit, in-person class on the SMU campus in Dallas.

The Ford Escape, a compact four-door SUV, was first introduced in 2001. Priced affordably and offered as an attractive combination of utility, versatility, and fun, the Escape was an instant hit with drivers.
The first generation of the Escape lasted until 2007. Up until that time, the vehicle was produced without any significant interior or exterior design alterations. However, the second generation of the Escape debuted in 2008 and featured a refreshed look, inside and out.
The Escape is very similar in design to the Mercury Mariner, another SUV produced by GM. Both vehicles feature underlying structures that were partially developed by Mazda. However, the Mariner offers additional features and a refined design that's more in line with that of a luxury sedan.
The Ford Escape is one of the bestselling smaller SUVs on the market. The success of the Escape is largely due to its effective blending of SUV styling and capability with the comfort and pragmatism of a mid-size sedan. The Escape's appeal is also bolstered the fact that it is more affordably priced than many other vehicles on the smaller side of the SUV market segment.
Reviews indicate that the Escape offers good performance and an array of high-tech extras. Some experts have criticized the Escape for poor braking ability and for being a bit dated in comparison to other vehicles in the same segment of the market. However, Ford possesses a knack for designing SUVs with a broad appeal, and the Escape is no exceptionsince it remains one of the most popular compact SUVs on the market. The Escape has been available in both gasoline powered and Hybrid versions throughout most of its production run. The Hybrid version of the SUV notably offers more fuel efficiency than any other of itscompetition.
Currently, the Ford Escape is available in three trim levels: XLS, XLT, and Limited. Despite the XLS being the base model, it offers a generous array of features including 16-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, power accessories, air-conditioning, antilock brakes, and stabilization controls. The more deluxe XLT version features extras such as automatic headlamps, auto-dimming rearview mirrors, and full power driver seats. Upgrading to the top-of-the-line Limited trim level adds leather bound upholstery, front seat heating, and Ford's Sync feature.
The 2012 Escape also offers drivers a host of extra options including dual-zone climate control, sunroof, an improved stereo system, rear parking sensors,a navigation system, and an automated parking system. Availability of specific options varies by trim level.
The Escape is available with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive. While the compact Escape is technically an SUV, it's generally more capable in on-road driving situations than in off-road ones. This is largely due to its independent suspension, light duty all-wheel drive system, and unibody construction. The standard engine for all models except the Limited is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder, which is rated at 171 horsepower. The standard transmission is a six-speed automatic. However, the XLS also offers the option of a five-speed manual. The V-6 is available as an option on the XLT and is only available with the six-speed automatic transmission.
The Ford Escape came in XLS, XLT, and XLT Sport trim levels when it debuted in 2001. Design changed slightly during its first generation. As a result, Escape SUVs produced between 2001 and 2007 were barely distinguishable from one model year to the next. First-year versions of the Escape were also subject to numerous recalls. Therefore, one should look for a model from 2002 or later to avoid mechanical issues.
Models made between 2001 and 2005 are typically equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which is rated at 130 horsepower. In 2005, the Escape was given an engine upgrade and outfitted with a 2.3-liter four-cylinder that offered an increase in horsepower to 153. Some first generation models of the Escape were also equipped with V-6 engines that produced 200 horsepower. Some four-cylinder versions of the first generation Escape were equipped with five-speed manual transmissions, but most featured four-speed automatics. V-6 versions of the first generation are all equipped with the four-speed automatic transmission.
In 2008, the Escape was given an interior and exterior redesign. Models since then were closer in appearance to Ford's more contemporary-styled vehicles. The interior was also given a contemporary makeover. Controls were made more ergonomic and stylish. When the second generation came out, it featured the 153-hp four-cylinder and the 200-hp V-6. Ford began equipping the Escape with 171-hp four-cylinder engines and 240-hp V-6s in 2009. The Escape also received an improved transmission that year. The public saw the addition of many of the advanced technological features found in more recent models of the Escape in 2010.

The police officers made their way though the Costa Mesa park known as "ground zero," the crowded hub for the city's homeless, handing out fliers and encouraging people to get on a bus that would take them out of town.
Like other cities, Costa Mesa has had a tenuous relationship with its homeless, and many would just as soon they all simply leave. But efforts on this crisp afternoon had a different motivation: They were nudging them to seek shelter from the near-freezing nights that had gripped the area and board a shuttle to the Santa Ana armory.
In the morning, they promised, the bus would bring them back, bright and early.
"There has been a shift," said Becks Heyhoe, director of the Churches Consortium, a collective effort of about a dozen churches in town. "The city has shown — really, for the first time in its history — they are willing to address homelessness in Costa Mesa. This is really the first time the city has taken a stab at it."
A back-and-forth relationship with the homeless has long been the blueprint in a city that is defined by the high-end elegance of South Coast Plaza at one end and the clusters of homeless dozing under the shade trees and hanging around Lions Park at the other.

ECHL Game Night: 3/30/11
South Carolina Stingrays 1 @ Florida Everblades 4
LW Alex Hutchings: 1-0-1, +1, 4 PIM (spearing attempt), 4 SOG
Season totals: 48 GP, 13-13-26, -9, 37 PIM
G Jaroslav Janus: Did not play (backup)
Season totals: 27 GP, 12-13-0-0, 3.06 GAA, .912 sv%, 0 SO
The 'Blades pulled ahead of South Carolina and Wheeling for fourth in the East after beating the Stingrays 4-1 in the first game of a three game set to finish the regular season. It's possible these teams could play 10 games in a row as they could be meeting each other in the first round of the playoffs. South Carolina is currently in sixth, but just two points behind Florida and one behind Wheeling. All have played 70 games. Alex Hutchings scored his 13th goal of the season then ignited a brawl of sorts after the play by attempting to spear an opponent. Jarsolav Janus sat backup to Mike Zacharias (34/35) in his latest return to the ECHL from Norfolk.

Old school charm meets modern styling and production.
Brunate has always paid great attention to all stages of the manufacturing process. Technical experts follow every detail with meticulous attention, in order to maintain the highest level of product quality.
Project: This is where every shoe starts out. Designers and technicians set up the last, make detailed drawings of the upper, soles and heels and decide what the shoe will look like and how it will made. Cutting: The process of leather cutting can be realized by hand or by using computer aided cutting machines. The secret of this phase is in the cutters ability of leather selection. Binding: This is where the individual parts of the upper are assembled. Depending on the model, well over 50 parts may be involved before the upper is complete. Assembly: The process begins by fastening the upper to the insole and the last. The shoe is then passed through an oven that dries leather and glue. The shoe in then bonded to the outsole by with special adhesives. The shoe will then run through a special press machine that ensures perfect matching and assembly between upper and outsole. The heel is fastened to the sole and the shoe is then sent to the finishing phase where it is cleaned, ironed with hot steam, polished with special creams and brushed. Final check: All the shoe's components are given one final check. The shoe is given a general visual inspection and checked for scratches. Left and right feet must match perfectly. Only after this thorough final check is the protective fabric travel bag applied. The shoe is boxed and shipped.

The search for perfect gifts for the holidays is on. I'm spending excessive amounts of time online and studying catalogs in order to succeed in this quest. Though I've found few gifts to give to family and friends, I have noticed that products for dogs are showing up in new places all the time. The most surprising pet product placement I've seen this year is the dogbrella in the Hammacher Schlemmer catalog and on their website.
The dogbrella is just what it sounds like—an umbrella for dogs. It is inverted so that a person can hold the handle from above while the dogbrella protects a small dog from the rain. The leash attaches to the underside. The product description will sound out of date to many modern dog lovers because of such phrases as "enabling canine and master to maintain a walking regimen in inclement weather."
My first thought was, "Really?" (It was late afternoon, which is when I'm least articulate.) What I meant by that was, "Do dogs really need an umbrella to go out in the rain?" Then I thought about all the dogs who don't like the rain and hesitate to go out in it. With my Oregonian roots, I sometimes forget that there are dogs and people who not only notice the rain, but actually have an adverse reaction to it. Of course, the dogbrella won't help dogs who dislike stepping on wet ground, but it offers protection for dogs who object to the water falling from the sky.
Though I had not thought about it, the catalog emphasizes the benefit for people, which is that the dog will not bring so much water into the home after the walk. Few of us love it when a dog comes inside and performs a satisfying shake to disperse all that wetness onto nearby furniture, windows, people and anything else in the house. (How dogs know how to choose the most damaging spot for this behavior is a mystery.) Nor do many of us enjoy the aroma of eau de dog, which can be as strong and long lasting as it is unpleasant.
Would you use (or have you already used) the dogbrella?

You wouldn't think of Paul Otellini as someone who uses "hip" consumer products, given his stodgy corporate background and boardroom persona. But beneath his mild professional demeanor lies a Mac fanboy and iPhone lover. Yes, his secret is out: Intel's number one man uses a MacBook Pro, and both he and his spouse carry iPhones.
In a recent interview with BusinessWeek, Otellini admits to using Apple products for personal use, though he does preface his confession by saying that he still carries a ThinkPad for work, in the event Steve Ballmer should happen to stop by and catch him with a MacBook sitting in his lap.
By the way, am I the only one who is utterly dumbfounded by the continued success of the antiquated ThinkPad series? The damn things still look the same after nearly a decade... and they were ugly to begin with. If forced to carry a corporate portable (mind you, you'd have to hold a gun to my head) Dell's Latitude line would be my first choice. Not that I'm enamored with Dell products, but their business portables are well designed, highly configurable, and decently priced.

I've been getting guidance lately about appreciating what I already have. It is great advice on all levels. Here's my latest article for Bellaonline applying the guidance to physical possessions:
At what point do you decide you have enough stuff? In Western countries that feeling of being satisfied with what you have is not encouraged, yet most of us have far more possessions than our grandparents or great grandparents and much, much more than people in less affluent cultures. So why do we continually try to accumulate more?
As a society I feel we truly are starving in a sea of plenty. We can change the level of satisfaction we have in our material lives simply by changing our perceptions, by looking through a different lens. I believe that if we fully appreciate what we already have then our feelings of material neediness will evaporate and contentment will take their place.
We are bombarded with advertising images whose job is to persuade us that our lives would be so much better if we owned a certain product, looked a certain way, or visited a particular place. Companies have to convince us that we are unfulfilled without their product and that it would enhance our lives, otherwise why would we buy? If we are happy with what we already have the adverts would have little impact. Contentment is an advertising executive's nightmare!
The idea that our source of happiness lies in owning more things is a cultural trance that we can choose to wake up from. Happiness and material possessions do not go hand in hand. We only need to look at the high rate of depressive illness in consumerist cultures to know that more possessions do not equal contentment.
Compulsive shopping, like other compulsions such as comfort eating, is a way of suppressing a deeper unhappiness that comes from within and which needs listening to, not papering over with more stuff. In the UK there have been several television programmes about hoarders who try to cover up their unhappiness with a mountain of material possessions. Without exception the hoarders have experienced traumatic life events which they have not processed and they have surrounded themselves with things to insulate against the pain. Of course this strategy doesn't work, the issue is still there and at the very least the hoarding clutters up their available living space; at worst it can even become life threatening as hoarders have been known to be crushed or trapped under their own collapsing piles of possessions.
Of course most people do not let material goods take over their lives to that extent, however how many of us have thought that if we just had that particular tv/camera/dress/perfume/car then life would be so much better and more satisfying? When we give in to temptation and buy the desired item there is usually a brief euphoric rush, but it doesn't take long for that high to fade. Depending on how much real satisfaction and usage there is in the item the pleasure ebbs away and you are back to the same emotional state you were in before you made the purchase.
We do not have to buy into this mass illusion. We can choose to wake up out of the cultural trance and look at our lives and our possessions with clear eyes. I believe most people in the West are not lacking material goods, on the contrary most people are suffering from too much stuff! All those possessions tie up our energy circuits and keep us from focussing on what is really important in life.
Take stock of what you possess right now. Close your eyes and take your mind from room to room looking at all the things you own, not just the things you like, everything. Make a mental inventory. You'll probably notice that you already have a lot of stuff! You may even notice a desire to lighten the load!
Ask yourself:
Do I feel grateful for my material possessions? Do I truly appreciate them?
Do I make the most of what I already have?
Do I look after my stuff?
Do I have things I don't use that I'm ready to pass on to someone who could use them?
A good affirmation to work with is "I always have enough." Working to install this belief counteracts a habitual 'needing more' mindset. Next time you want to buy something non-essential check in with yourself:
Do I already have one or more of these?
Do I need this item? Really? Why?
What do I expect this item to add to my life?
Am I buying this because I expect it to make me a happier and more fulfilled person? Is that likely?
Pause before you purchase and make sure that you aren't trying to fulfil an emotional need with a material thing. If you are ready to release loads of stuck energy by having a big clear out then I can heartily recommend Karen Kingston's book Clearing Clutter with Feng Shui to motivate you.

Changes were in order.
In August 1958, George 'Punch' Imlach was hired as assistant general manager. In fact, Imlach was the general manager without the title; a carrot held in front of him by team owner Stafford Smythe. By November 28, he had added the coaching reins to his portfolio, having relieved Billy Reay of his position.
The Marlboros and the Majors, both competing in the Ontario Hockey Association, were exceptionally strong. The Marlies, with squads that included several future Maple Leafs, captured the Memorial Cup in 1955, 1956 and 1964. The St. Michael's Majors won the junior championship in 1961, and then left the Ontario Hockey Association in a battle over length of schedule, long roadtrips hampering school studies and the aggressiveness exhibited in the league at that time.
With a talent-laden roster and good team chemistry, Imlach discarded the highly defensive game that his predecessors in Toronto had established, and allowed the players more autonomy on the ice, as long as they played responsibly and within his rules. "Up until Imlach came along, they wanted everybody to be just up and down defensively," recalled Dick Duff. "To Punch's credit, he sensed that these young guys were gifted junior players and said, 'Let's not put the clamps on these guys. Let Mahovlich go with the puck. Let Keon go with the puck and let Duff do what he wants to do. Let them be artists out there.' He kept the game simple."
Once again, it was Toronto versus Montreal in the Cup final of 1959-60, but again, the Canadiens won. It was the fifth championship in a row for Montreal.
Punch Imlach shrewdly added Ed Litzenberger and Al Arbour, both Stanley Cup champions with Chicago the previous spring. Toronto finished second in 1960-61, just two points behind Montreal, but both teams were eliminated in the semi-final (Detroit defeated Toronto and Chicago surprised Montreal).
The Leafs earned a berth in the 1962 Stanley Cup final after defeating the New York Rangers in six games. Facing the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Black Hawks, Toronto captured the Stanley Cup in Game 6, with Dick Duff scoring the Cup winner.
In 1963-64, Toronto was pushed to the limit all season. Imlach deduced that he needed scoring strength and traded Dick Duff, Bob Nevin and prospects to the Rangers, receiving Andy Bathgate and Don McKenney in return. The team finished third and met the first place Canadiens in the semi-final. It took seven very close games, but the Leafs emerged victorious. Once again, Detroit and Toronto met for the Stanley Cup that spring. And once again, it was Toronto presented with the Stanley Cup, but only after a gruelling series that went the limit and ended with a 4-0 shutout and Andy Bathgate's winning goal.
It took until 1967 for the Toronto Maple Leafs to win the Stanley Cup again. By that time, the core of the team had aged and was nearing the end of outstanding careers. Goaltender Johnny Bower was 42, Allan Stanley was 41, Red Kelly was 39, Tim Horton and Terry Sawchuk were 37 and Marcel Pronovost was 36. Punch Imlach was hospitalized for several weeks in February and Frank Mahovlich also was hospitalized during the regular season. And yet, the Leafs surprised the hockey world (and no one more than the Montreal Canadiens) by nosing out Chicago in six semi-final contests and then taking Montreal to six games before collecting their fourth Stanley Cup of the decade.
Dave Keon, one of the lynchpins of the dynasty, reflected on the dynasty. "We had very skilled personnel on the first three (Stanley Cup championships) that we won. Everyone worked well together and there was unity. We played for each other and won it as a team. And at that time, we probably had the best talent. In '67, our talent wasn't expected to carry us, but players came through in other ways and played very well. Our goaltenders played extremely well and everyone just picked it up from there. Everyone got the feeling that, 'yes, we could do it,' and once we got that feeling, we were very difficult to beat."
Pulford agreed that the 1967 Leaf team had something special. "There was a tremendous mixture of veterans and young players. You had Armstrong, Horton, Stanley, Kelly and Bower mixed with in with some pretty good young hockey players. It was the camaraderie that existed that made that championship team, not ability, but a bunch of guys coming together to play who really wanted it."
Punch Imlach must be given credit for the role he played in constructing and motivating the team, but there is a stirring debate about how much credit he should receive. Bob Pulford suggested, "A good coach doesn't win hockey games but a bad coach can lose hockey games. Imlach was obviously a good coach because he won with a good team. He was loyal. When he had the right mix of people, he knew how to get the most out of them. He was good at that."
"Imlach was there for eleven years," commented the late Carl Brewer, who had been at odds with the coach through much of his tenure with the Leafs. "People said (Imlach) was great because he won four Stanley Cups in eleven years. A lot of us felt that he should have had eight."
Imlach himself believed that the Maple Leafs should have won more than four Stanley Cup championships during that decade. "We could have won in 1961," he claimed. "If we had gotten by Detroit, we would certainly have knocked Chicago out. What happened to us was injuries. Olmstead and Kelly were hurt and Bower got hurt."
The simple fact is that the Toronto Maple Leafs, winners of the Stanley Cup in 1962, 1963, 1964 and 1967, have left an indelible legacy on fans; one that resonates all these decades later.

David Sarti barred from purchasing guns after doctor reported him to authorities
Paul Joseph Watson
Wednesday, February 15, 2012
Before featuring in National Geographic's new show Doomsday Prepper, David Sarti visited his doctor complaining of chest pains, only to have the doctor later commit him to a psychiatric ward and alert authorities, before Sarti was declared "mentally defective" and put on an FBI list that strips him of his second amendment rights.
Back in November, Sarti, a resident of Lebanon Texas, visited a cardiologist named Andre C. Olivier, M.D., who examined Sarti and then told him tests would be run. After hearing nothing for two months, Sarti called to make another appointment on January 16th. The doctor informed Sarti there was nothing wrong with his heart but that he could have tubes inserted to help alleviate his breathing difficulties.
When Sarti refused to have tubes inserted, Olivier insinuated that he could be suicidal and insisted on Sarti going to the emergency room. Sarti refused and left the hospital but within 15 minutes of arriving home, police arrived at his house and forcibly took him to the emergency room.
Sarti was subsequently placed in hospital for observation for a period of four days before an attorney and then a judge arrived to hear his story. Sarti repeatedly emphasized to doctors that he was not suicidal and would not commit suicide because of his Christian beliefs.
When Sarti later attempted to purchase a Glock 21 firearm, he was flagged up by the National Instant Criminal Background Check System and refused the sale. When he appealed, he received a letter from the FBI stating that he had been declared "mentally defective" and was not allowed to own firearms.
Sarti says he attempted to get legal defense from the NRA, who initially indicated that they would be able to help but ended up refusing to take his case. Gun Owners of America are now talking with Sarti about setting up a legal defense fund for gun owners with similar problems.

In a more recent video update, Sarti said that the guns he already owned had not yet been seized but that he had moved them from his property to another location.
Sarti now says that there is little point in him continuing his lifestyle as a "prepper" because he cannot own firearms and he is a sitting duck with "nothing left to live for". He has appealed to the Governor and a State Senator who he campaigned for in an attempt to get help but was ignored.
After explaining what happened to him, Sarti received thousands of messages of support from the 'prepper' community and has agreed to carry on presenting his You Tube show which covers all aspects of the survivalist movement, after first hinting that he would sell all his animals and look to leave the country.
Sarti's story again underscores how people who have chosen to live 'prepper' lifestyles are being targeted by authorities.
Last week, the FBI warned that people who oppose taxes and regulations, as well as those who believe the U.S. should have never left the gold standard, are potential domestic terrorists. The federal agency has also sent out flyers as part of its Communities Against Terrorism program that list bulk buying of storable food as a potential indication of terrorist activity.
Watch videos of Sarti explaining what happened to him below.
