Dear Mr. Chapman,
I first saw your 'Air gun Advantage' column in the December 2007 issue of 'Predator Extreme' magazine. I was delighted to read it.
It was the first practical and informative article on air guns I had seen since I was a subscriber in the 1960's to 'Air Rifle Monthly' (ARM), published by Robert L. Law of Grantsville, West Virginia.
Unfortunately 'Predator Extreme' is not widely distributed in my area of Alberta, and I was not able to obtain more than a few copies since then. Recently, I renewed my interest in air guns when a neighbor and I decided to do something about the crows and magpies in our village that prey on the songbirds that are becoming quite scarce.
My neighbor bought a new air gun (.177 Diana Spring-gun) with a scope, but found he was unable to sight-in. Using all the scope adjustments, at about 30 ft. the gun shoots low and to the left with various brands of pellets, and I decided to mount a scope on a BSF (S60) 22 calibre because I can no longer see well enough with the front and rear aperture sights I installed years ago (I am now 84 years old).
I re-read your December 2007 article 'Sighting In And Setting Up Your New Air gun' in which you mentioned you had covered "details of how to mount a scope in recent columns" ,so I called your publisher in Birmingham, Alabama.
I was disappointed to learn that back issues of the magazine are not available so I got a subscription for future articles.
Mr. Olis of the editorial department explained that you are an engineer and travel a great deal in your work but he kindly gave me your e-mail address.
Reading your articles that I have, I am rather surprised at the development of air guns in recent years; especially the increase in technology and power. I know that air guns have been around for a long time and special powerful air guns were used by British commandos in World War Two.
My understanding was that the technology was restricted to the military because of 'danger to the public'. So I am amazed that you can shoot animals as large as raccoons, foxes, and bobcats with your pre-charged semi-automatic .25 calibre.
As I am an aged retiree limited in funds and energy, I will stay with my two spring guns, a .177 BSA Super Sport which dislodged the scope as you said and eventually required a spring replacement, and a .22 BSF S60 on which I am trying to mount a scope (no dovetail so a rail has to be installed).
In Alberta, it is difficult to find air gun information.
Even my neighbor, who is an accomplished rifle maker and only a couple of courses short of his degree from the Colorado State Gunsmithing College admits he knows very little in this subject area.
I would like to know if your articles on spring-guns are available.
I am particularly interested in articles on the following subjects:
•Lubricants (we used to use a leather conditioner to keep the piston seal moist and pliable and a molybdimun disulphide product called Dri-Slide to lubricate the cylinder).
•Pellets (what brands are most consistent and accurate)
•Disassembly and re-assembly instructions
•Parts and repair information
•Sights – especially scopes
•Where such products are available
If such articles are not available, would it be possible to obtain copies of your articles on scope mounting?
Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to your response.
Best Regards,
William Dyson Abercrombie

P.S. I sent this to an email address (which I believe to be yours) as well.
Hi Jim,
I've enjoyed reading your reviews. I've recenently returned from Tanzania and finally have the chance to research my "guineafowl thumper" in .25 to eventually take back.
I'm impressed with the reports on the Hatsan BT 65 especially for power. The rainstorm 2, and Benj. Marauder for all around value, and the P. Falcon for it's reported accuracy (lower ft. lbs?). Of the above rifles what would you recommend for 'longer range' guineas. Also, would it be easy to tune the P. Falcon Profile .25 into the 50 ft. range while keeping it's accuracy intact?
Any ideas on the above (or other models) would be most appreciated. Thanks!
Jonathan Buth
Thanks Jim,
Some good things to think about. You got thinking of the P. Falcon in .22 for neck sniping on guineas, or one of the .25's for body shots……hmm. I'd love one of those .30's, but that will have to fall off Santa's sleigh some other year:) In the meantime any pcp will be an improvement over a .416 Rigby for the fowl! Merry Christmas, and thanks for all the info for newbie pcp-ers in your articles…..
Hello Sir,
I am interested in getting a PCP for coyotes and other predators and was looking at the .25 caliber. Is it a powerful enough for coyotes? My state doesn't allow air rifles for deer hunting so I wanted I caliber that I would get more use out of. I do quite a bit of squirrel hunting and rabbit hunting as well a pigeon. I know the 25 would be enough for coons and such but I call coyotes every week and was wanting to try something besides my 223. I have springers in 22 i use for squirrel. Should I get get something bigger?
Have followed the site for awhile and enjoy the articles, have decided to jump into an air gun for small to medium pest hunting, and was wondering if there is a Piston model you could suggest, that would give me close to same performance that the PCP's give, would like 22 or 20 caliber so groundhogs and small coyotes would be possible
Mr Chapman
I just found your weblog and noticed that you are on your way to MN, shoot me an email and I'll return a great contact for you.
Hey Jim, I'm a proud owner of two Marauders thanks to your review's and use of them. Got to say I'm thouroghly pleased with them. I recently saw some of your photos you took while on a squirrel hunt. One shot showed a water hole in the pines with a tree stand leaning up against one of the trees. Probably no chance but was that photo taken in New Mexico? Keep up the good work.
Mr. Chapman,
Great Blog. If I may ask a question. What scopes (brand or specific models) and mounts do you recommend for magnum springers? I've just acquired my first "adult" airgun, RWS 350 .177, and need to scope it. By the way, I just finished your book. Wonderful job. It was extremely informative and a good read. Thank you for taking the time to write it and make it available for free. If only more people were willing to contribute there time, experience and wisdom in such a way.
Mr. Chapman, Check the new Arizona regs and I think you will be happy to find that you can take every game animal in the state with the exception of elk and dove with an airgun. Also, you can now take coyotes and all other furbearers with airguns. Can't wait to use an airgun on quail and coyotes.
Hello Jim, I've read several of your hunting and air rifle reviews with great interest. Recent highway construction has migrated a very large ground squirrel population toward our property and they are now invading my garden. After trying semi-useless gas bombs, I purchased the HW95 with a Hawke Sport scope which is great at 25 yards but out farther my accuracy is quite diminished. You had high praise in your review of the Weihrauch HW 100 PCP rifle. if I purchased one PCP rifle for local ground squirrel abatement out to 50 yards is the HW100 a good option or are there others to consider?
Thanks Jim, I'll look at those three PCP rifles and talk to the AOA staff about their opinions of quality and durability as far as seals, ect.
While I have been able to shoot several ground squirrels with my HW95, They have not been clean head shots even though I have been spending a lot of time practicing.
Since I'm on a retirement income, I'll need to convince my wife that I need a "better gun" for my garden protection. Thanks for the quick reply and the excellent atricles and reviews.
Excellent "articles" that is.
Hello Sir,
I am a big fan of your writings and enjoy your hunting stories. If you could only have one small caliber PCP in a 22 or 25 which one. If you could have a big bore but only one which one? The reason I ask is I have a condor in 22 and that is it for pcp. I life in Oklahoma where it is illegal to take a deer with air rifles, but I can hunt coyotes with them. I cannot afford several rifles so I am looking for a good 25 caliber for coons and such and good big bore for coyotes. I am just wondering what you would do. Thanks again for the writings and good hunting!
Hello Jim,
I read your reviews and read your comments above about trying to shoot ground squirrels at long range. I went and purchased a FX Royale 400 in 22 caliber and it is so much easier to hunt ground squirrels than with my Weihrauch HW95 springer. I have had great success shooting off Primos Pole Cat sticks out to 80 yards so far and the accuracy is just amazing. Again, thanks for your informative articles and feedback to questions on the blogs. I read with great interest about your recent hunting trip and as a long time business traveler, I understand the frustrations with unexpected air travel weather it's medical emergencies, plane trouble or scheduling problems.
I am thinking about buying a Sam Yang….which caliber would you choose…I want to shoot turkey,deer,coyote,wild pig etc…also …can you fill the tank at a gas station air pump
Hey Jim this is Kerry from honolulu HI, I posted yesterday and asked a new question how can i find it having trouble finding it.
hey, jim watched your hunt in south Dakota, using raw .357 some shots out to 125 yards, did you shim the scope was wondering about enough elevation out that far.
Hello Jim,
I really enjoy reading your blog, following your hunting adventures. You are truly living the dream. I've learned a lot from your articles and videos. I mostly hunt pigeons and Eurasian collared doves in and around feedlots and dairy farms in northern Nevada.
We have lots of black tail jackrabbits in northern Nevada. I haven't hunted them much but am interested in doing so. The question I have is I've heard you can eat jack rabbit but haven't heard good things about the taste etc. also have heard they carry parasites and was wondering if you eat them and how do you handle and prepare them?

Hi Jim,
I have another question for you. I see a lot of guys have bubble levels installed on their guns. I have limited experience using scopes on my guns so I'm still learning. Are bubble levels used only when shooting bench rest situations or field targets? I mostly hunt pigeons,rabbits etc. out in the field so would a bubble level be useless in this situation ?
John F.
I am always fallowing your blog, I love the reviews you do on airguns. All of my airguns I have bought are because of your reviews. I really like the TwinMaster rifle wish they had it out in production. Anyways after reading your blogs about hunting, I got started on hunting squirrels for a local farmer. He has many pest and he only allows air rifles so I took my Gladiator and got about 100 squirrels. I to on video and hope you enjoy it.
Who made your seats for your high rack
Hello Jim,
I am an avid reader of Predator Extreme and especially your articles. I'm thinking of purchasing a Hatsan Hercules 22 caliber air rifle and would like your opinion on the product.
I have some concerns. Can the trigger be set for less than 3 lb.? What scope and mounts are recommended? I like the idea of 2 air tanks on the gun but I'm concerned on how the tanks are recharged. I have been unable to find information regarding these issues.
I currently have a Beaman's Springer 177 air rifle with a Blue Ribbon 4X12 scope. I have tore the cross hairs out twice.
Thanks , DuWayne Prellwitz
Hey Jim, just getting into the pcp world. Do you have any interest in snow shoe hare hunting? I have been able to spot and stalk a good number in northern wi.
Have the Hatsan Carnivore in 30 cal, not pcp, with vortex piston. Having coyote issues , will it kill a coyote, and at what range, and recommended shot placement. Thanks, value you opinion, Stan
Do you have a preference in caliber over velocity for airgun hunting? And is the method of kill more like an archery shot where animal will bleed out or is more like a trama kill (rifle). Was discussing what the would be the best for a large animal (pig, deer) hunting gun.
Hi Jim,
I have followed your air gun adventures and is a serious fan. You have given me a lot of insights in airgun hunting.
A few years back you advised me on which gun to purchase when I was moving into .25 caliber and I have had no regrets with it. Bought the Benjamin np xl 725, I have taken wild hogs and wild goats with it along with countless agouti.
I now wish to move into the PCP world and is looking at the hatsan flash in .25 as you said, ' the .25 is the all round gun'. Please let me know what you think of that gun.
Also I do have an offer for you. From October to December of the year, the hunting season is open on my island of Dominica where we hunt the agouti. Its a challenge to hunt with airguns but great fun. I am inviting you to my island during the hunting season where you could take the challenge on hunt.

EU's 2020 CO2 target 'will add a year to economic slump'
Emission cuts are 'too much too soon'
The EU's effort to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 20 per cent is twice as costly as it needs to be, and is likely to impact growth across the continent, according to a new study by a leading environmental economist.
Europe failed to produce a cost-benefit analysis when it set its climate target, so Dr Richard Tol has filled the gap. He contributed to the IPCC's 2007 AR4 report, has more than 100 published papers and doesn't quibble with the scientific consensus, but merely tries to put a price on the proposed "cures".
Tol argues that a well-designed set of climate policies should not have a significant economic impact. Optimally, the marginal cost of implementing a policy should equal the marginal cost of the global warming-induced damage it seeks to prevent.
But getting parity can only be achieved by aggressively setting the discount rates in the calculations to a very low number. A discount rate is, crudely speaking, the projected economic damage in the future compared to the cost of mitigation in the present day.
By adopting a low discount rate in their calculations, Europe's leaders have declared two things: the damage that is posited to take place far in the future will cost an awful lot to fix in today's money, and the costs of a policy in the immediate future are underestimated*.
"A well-designed, gradual policy can substantially reduce emissions at low cost to society [but] ill-designed policies, or policies that seek to do too much too soon, can be orders of magnitude more expensive", Tol writes. "While the academic literature has focussed on the former, policy makers have opted for the latter."
A century of climate change (aka global warming) could conceivably cost, say, a year in lost growth. However, the European Union's grand scheme to achieve a 20 per cent reduction in CO2 from a 1980 baseline by 2020, including a 20 per cent renewable energy target known as 20/20/2020, will squeeze that cost into a much shorter and more immediate time frame.
Between now and the end of the decade, Tol believes the union's efforts to cut carbon dioxide emissions could lose the continent roughly a year of economic expansion:
For the EU as a whole ... climate policy is costly. A loss of 1.3 per cent is of course not dramatic, but it is projected to occur over the space of only eight years (2013-2020), so that roughly one in every ten years of growth is lost.
Only Holland and Belgium will see significant positive welfare impacts from the policy, while most will see a negative impact of about four per cent.
Tol concludes, therefore, that the Eurozone's schemes are "unlikely to meet the benefit-cost test. For a standard discount rate, the benefit-cost ratio is rather poor (1/30)".
He notes that Europeans support the intention to "do something" about climate change. Meanwhile, India, China and Brazil have charged on, valuing economic development and lifting their populations out of poverty (and poverty-related illness) much more highly than measures that inhibit domestic growth. As a consequence, climate has been relegated to the margins of political debate, even in Anglophone countries. The costs don't go away, however.
The new paper furthers Tol's work from 2009 on the costs of the EU schemes [PDF]. ®
* Notoriously the Stern Report from 2006 used a discount rate close to zero, specifically 0.1 per cent. Nicholas Stern, the former chief economist of the World Bank and permanent secretary at the UK Treasury, used a low "social time discount rate" to justify sucking money out of the economy today. He argued it would have little impact on the welfare of future generations. The three per cent used by economist William Nordhaus is widely considered to be more realistic. Hal Varian discussed this here, asking "is it really ethical to transfer wealth from someone making $7,000 a year to someone making $94,000 a year?"
According to Tol, "Stern essentially tried to impose his views on others - like a colonial master would tell the savages what to think". Stern has since received a peerage and is Baron Stern of Brentford.

A modeling amp is a creation of modern digital technology. In a Modeling Amp, digital algorithms mimic the effects that various tubes, transistors, circuitry, cabinetry, microphones, guitar pedals, and speakers have on the signal coming from the guitar. The result lets you emulate your favorite rig including amplifiers, speakers, pedals, etc. Want to switch between a Fender Twin Reverb with a chorus pedal and a Marshall Half Stack, a modeling amp can do it with a click of a controller pedal. Most modeling amps have great factory settings and also allow you to design your own setups and store them. Modeling technology has been well established for several years now and is very accepted and has become available at very low price points. This kind of amp is for you if you are looking to have a "Swiss Army Knife" kind of amp. Some of the most important lines of modeling amps are the Peavey VYPYR, the Line 6 Spider, the Fender Mustang, and the Vox Valvetronix series. Modeling Amps are a great way to get as much amp as you can on a budget and not have to buy or lug around effects pedals. Of course, if you are looking for the power and presence of a bigger amp, you can also get a modeling preamp/effects unit to use with your Tube, Solid State, or Hybrid Amp.
Modeling Amps Ideal for Dorm Rooms and Apartments
When choosing an amp for your dorm room or — depending on room-mates, house-guests, parents, and others – a modeling amp like the Peavey VYPR15, the Line 6 Spider IV 15, the Vox Valvetronix VT20+, or the battery powered Line 6 Micro Spider or Vox MINI3 may be ideal, giving you the small size you need with the big sounds you want. Also consider the hot selling Fender Mustang I 20watt Modeling Amp with 8 Amp Models and 24 effects, or move up to the Fender Mustang II (if the neighbors can stand it) with 40 watts and a 12″ speaker. Both include Fender FUSE editing software so you can get the sounds you want and the Mustang II includes Ableton Live 8 Fender edition software as well. If you like Boss effects, particularly the METAL ZONE, you'll find three included in the Roland Cube-15XL, a compact 15 lb. gem.

Lindsey Moore scored 13 points, Rachel Theriot added 11 and Nebraska held on for its 10th straight win, 55-53 over Wisconsin on Thursday night.
Emily Cady and Jordan Hooper grabbed 11 rebounds apiece for the Cornhuskers (22-6, 12-3), who likely will be the No. 2 seed in the Big Ten Conference tournament. With the loss, Wisconsin can do no better than No. 11. Both teams finish their seasons Sunday.
Jacki Gulczynski had 19 points for the Badgers (11-17, 3-12), who lost their fourth straight. Tiera Stephen scored 15, and Cassie Rochel pulled down 14 rebounds.
Morgan Paige's layup gave Wisconsin a 53-52 lead with 1:14 left, but the Badgers wouldn't score again. Hailie Sample's layup with 44 seconds left put Nebraska back ahead before Moore made a free throw with 9 seconds to play. Stephen missed at the buzzer on a jumper that would have tied the game.

Online Migration Agent
Online Migration Agent, is the first online Australian immigration & advice product of it's type. Advances in online technology allows Online Migration Agent to offer a full range of online downloadable informational and tutorial based migration seminars, assisting numerous people to learn how to prepare and lodge their own Australian immigration and visa applications.
There are literally thousands of registered migration agents who provide static information regarding Australia's immigration rules and regulations.
I am the managing director of one of Australia's largest migration firms & have been involved in this industry for over 10 years. As a result of my experience in this field, I have identified a market for delivering immigration advice and assistance online to a global market.
Online Migration Agent is the first company to provide comprehensive information and advice to people who are looking to migrate to and live in Australia. Gone are the days of having to navigate this somewhat difficult process on your own, Online Migration Agent, allows potential Australian residents the opportunity to learn about the opportunities that are available to themselves & gives them the knowledge & instructions on how to prepare & lodge their own individual Australian immigration application & maximise their success.
I am hoping that you will show me your ideas.
The target audience is anyone, worldwide, who is interested in migrating to Australia. Predominately we are targeting skilled & business migrants, spouses of Aussie residents and citizens as well as parent visa & student visa applicants. Every year over 100,000 people migrate to Australia, the process itself can be quite confusing, is very involved and somewhat difficult to navigate - migration agents generally understand this process and assist potential applicants to navigate this process and maximise their opportunities of success. Online Migration Agent is designed to assist those people who choose to prepare and lodge their own individual Australian immigration applications.
Online Migration Agent is targeting an existing market, however, it delivers a new cutting edge informational product, not currently available. Being an online product that is targeting potential Australian immigrants we are targeting those skilled migrants whose applications are based on skills, qualifications & work experience that are in demand in Australia, successful business migrants, spouses of Aussie residents & citizens & the parents of Australian citizens & permanent residents that currently live outside of Australia who want to live in Australia.
Our target audience seek professional advice and assistance, are IT savvy, are looking for online advice and assistance, are seeking this information online in a concise and easy to use format
Online Migration Agent is an online Australian immigration & advice product, delivering downloadable online informational & educational seminars/tutorials to those who want to live & work in Australia - seeking information & advice on how to navigate the visa and immigration process on their own.
By all means be creative - however, some design elements that I want to see included will incorporate using the stamp placed in a passport when someone enters Australia in addition to the words "Online Migration Agent" "Australian Visa - Approved" & "Online Migration Agent, Your Passport To Australia"
I am thinking of a stamp with the words "online migration agent" centered in the interior/middle of the stamp with the words "Australian Visa" appearing on the top of the stamp & the word "Approved" or "Granted" on the bottom section on the inside border of the stamp/image.
The use of distinctly Australian iconic images or themes such as the Southern Cross would be fantastic, however, Kangaroos & Koalas are not (unless you can convince me otherwise)
I am looking for a cutting edge design that will be used for a national & international campaign. Branding is vitally important & I am looking for a logo that will represent the product now & also for years to come.
This product is very easy to use & navigate, is extremely beneficial & helpful & has a very competitive pricing structure.

In the world of Mob Wives, too much is never enough and the criminal lifestyle doesn't stop just because the cameras are rolling.
In a new interview, Angela "Big Ang" Raiola dishes on wanting more surgery. Clearly she isn't paying much attention to co-star Renee Graziano's recent debacle! She speaks to Radar Online about her desire to go under the knife a few more times.
The 52-year-old breakout star of the season says, "I would like to have other surgery, like my eyes done and a slight face lift and my love handles removed by liposuction… I just need to get this liposuction fast around my bra and my backsides, and I'll feel much better after that cause my age is kicking in." Her sister even found her a doctor–on Facebook of all places!–who she will be consulting with this month.
No stranger to procedures, Big Ang confesses that her first foray into plastic surgery was in 1985."I had a tummy tuck, liposuction, my lips injected and my breasts done three times," Big Ang said. "The first time I had my breasts done was 27 years ago, and they put sponges in them. That was in 1985."
Do what? In 2005 the sponges were replaced with saline implants, and then silicone implants were substituted for the saline a few years later.
Big Ang admits that she is done enhancing her chest, saying, "I'm good now, I have a 36 J and that is perfect. I think that when men look at me, they notice my height and my boobs. I am married to a 38-year-old and I am 52 and he is 6-foot-7."
In other Mob Wives news, Renee Graziano's father was recently subject to a sting. As she's had a great deal of stress going on in her everyday life, this family drama can't be helping. Nydailynews elaborates on the situation.
Anthony "TG" Graziano, a top Bonanno gangster who was secretly taped by his ex-son-in-law Hector "Junior" Pagan, was in a seemingly good mood at his recent arraignment when he pleaded not guilty to charges of extortion, the evidence of which was garnered from Junior's taped conversations.
On Tuesday, the mobster, 71, waved to his daughter Lana and wife Veronica before greeting the Magistrate with "Good afternoon, ya honor." He then asked Magistrate Marilyn Go, "Can you talk a little louder? I'm deaf in one ear."
Go responded, "You look pretty good." To which Graziano retorted, "What I got left."
In November Graziano was arrested while living in a halfway house in Brooklyn as he was finishing out the sentence for a prior conviction. Additionally, he is named in an indictment against acting boss Vincent "Vinny TV" Badalamenti and capo Nicholas Santoro.
Patrick Parrotta, Graziano's attorney gave an interview outside the courthouse, insisting everything was fine between the Graziano and his Mob Wives daughters. While Renee stars in the show, it is the brainchild of her sister Jennifer. Parrotta stated, "He does not hold what Hector did against his daughters."
His lawyer further asserted that any animosity Graziano may have had about VH1's hit show is in the past. "There's no estrangement, everybody's talking," Parrotta said. Also, don't expect to see Graziano pulling a Pagan any time soon. While he is currently in plea negotiations, his lawyer is adamant that he would never cooperate with the feds. Good to know!
Parrotta claims that he is unsure if the FBI directed Junior to go on the show in an effort to regain closeness with the Graziano family. Junior, who appeared in an episode filmed last summer, began wearing a wire last August.
Renee's struggles with depression have been shown on the show, from her surgery-gone-so-wrong to her relationship with Junior and her father. Not to mention all her friends and co-starts are feuding. She recently tweeted the following earlier this week:
Like me, I am sure many of you are waiting with baited breath for the next installment of the drama. Unfortunately, we must be patient for yet another week. For some reason the Mob Wives don't think they can compete with the Super Bowl. Thankfully there is a light at the end of our mafia tunnel, as Carla Facciolo tweeted, "To all my #MOBWIVES fans we will not be on this Sunday!! :((( Enjoy the SUPERBOWL and we will be back next Sunday Feb 12th!!"

Recently my husband and I were enjoying a night out. We were seated at the bar of one of our favorite local establishments. On my husband's left was a somewhat inebriated couple, and when they got up to leave, the woman tapped my husband on the shoulder (as he was facing away from her) and said, "Hi, I'm P——." We didn't mean to be unfriendly, but neither of us was interested in giving a conversational opening to them. Caught off guard, my husband responded with something along the lines of "That's nice," or "Good for you," while I kept my gaze averted and both of us busied ourselves with our delicious Irish coffees. P—— flounced away, muttering angrily.
We have two questions: Is there some unwritten rule that if you sit at a bar, you wish to be conversed with by other patrons? And can the Gentleman Scholar recommend any polite responses to give random people who introduce themselves for no good reason when one does not wish to talk?
Thank you for your question.
I'm afraid that your husband, in his flusterment, may have been unduly snide. According to my reading of social contract, one is obliged to be about 25 percent more genial to strangers he meets in a bar than those he meets in a fast-food restaurant: A bar is not just a trough, it's a community space. Still, I will restrain myself from scolding your husband harshly, especially given the vagueness of your recollection. There is a bit of daylight between "That's nice," the lightly chiding coyness of which nearly approximates mild warmth, and "Good for you," with its directly sneering sarcasm. The former is permissible in certain contexts, the latter a provocation to be avoided (unless, perhaps, the interlocutor seems to expect her name will be recognized, in which case the statement of indifference indicates a systematic resistance to celebrity worship).
Don't get me wrong: Given that a glazed stranger had interrupted his conversation, your husband was entitled to harbor a certain snide attitude, but if he had kept this attitude private from P——, then he could have enjoyed the satisfaction of having behaved graciously in the face of mild obnoxiousness. Besides, distancing disses like your husband's are always most entertaining for everyone involved when the parties are already acquainted. I rather savor my memory of the birthday party at which I was reintroduced to a novelist only to be reminded that he had a beef with me about a mixed review. "We've met before," I said. "Yes, we have," he countered, leaving it at that and thereby raising my appreciation of his grudge-holding abilities.
In the instance you describe, I would have assumed a slightly formal posture and adopted the aloofly inquisitive face one makes when approached by a stranger who may or may not be asking for loose change, then said, "Hi, I'm Troy." Then, modulating my tone so its briskness would not quite tilt into brusqueness, I would have blankly absorbed a few moments of chit-chat before faking a mild smile and negotiating an exit. I have cultivated this approach over hundreds of barstool hours, many spent alone but for the virtual company of the author whose thoughts are illuminated by candle and beer light, and I tend to indulge obnoxious intrusions. They occasionally yield anecdotes worth talking about with people one actually wants to be talking with, and they almost always afford a chance to study human nature, as the intruder is too busy being obnoxious to notice that he is an object of inspection; when I've collected my data, I say, "I hate to be rude, but I need to get back to my book. Thanks for chatting." Sure, once every couple of years, one finds oneself getting aggressively hit on by a dude who, being both drunk and crazy, interprets one's rejections of his advances as outright snobbery and whose demented persistence makes one viscerally flare with rage and fear, but in my experience the bartender will generally kick the guy out and then give you a drink on the house, so it all comes out in the wash.
Now, there are certain places where local custom forbids a solitary bar-going experience. If you try to read a book in a Dublin pub, they will kick you out, at last call, after having soaked your evening with bonhomie and stout.
At some point in a man's life, he will have become too old to rely on the patience and couch-space of his friends in other cities for accommodation when traveling. It seems clear that one's 20s are dependent on this kind of arrangement (usually in tandem with an inexpensive ticket on some regional bus line), but surely a grown man must at some point trade in the rustic charms of the futon for the privacy and dignity of a proper hotel room, no matter his financial station. When is the cutoff?

— Ten points or more: These are your prime crashing years. Make the most of them. Show up with a gift of coffee or alcohol with a retail value of no less than $40. Follow up with a handwritten note and a sincere offer to pay for all damage incurred.

Aus 341 Designs von 77 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
ProjectVIBE Internet Radio
ProjectVIBE Internet Radio is dedicated to bringing you a unique mixture of continuous grooves tailored to the eclectic, adventurous tastes of music lovers everywhere. From one song to the next we keep the vibe funky, fresh, and (office)friendly, so you can enjoy the ultimate listening experience at work, home, or play.
Playing genres ranging from Jazz, Broken Beat, House, Old School Hip Hop, Funk, Jazz, R&B, Soul, Ambient, AfroBeat, even a little 80s soft rock...and then some. Although we've been called/categorized a "neo-soul" radio station in many circles, our playlist extends beyond any one genre. We primarily focus on exposing our listeners to music they like and would otherwise never have had the opportunity to experience while giving talented artists a springboard to let their music be heard.
We don't always play independent music... ratio-wise it's broken down as follows:
5% modern mainstream music
15% old classic hits: r&b, jazz (classical & contemporary), hip hop, funk, etc
40% independent (non-mainstream) artists based in the US
40% independent or popular artists outside the US
Our playlist isn't dictated by the corporate suits that control mainstream media. Instead it's run by music lovers for music lovers. In short, It's all about the music, and we love sharing it with the world!
We want to appeal to music lovers everywhere 24/7 but we find that most of our listeners and website visitors are cube dwellers (professionals who work in an office-type setting with broadband internet connectivity) ranging from 25-40. Listeners of various ethnicities from 85+ countries tune in every day... mostly African American but we get a lot of listeners from Europe as well. All of whom share the common love of music.
The logo must appeal to various nationalities/ethnicities and must be gender-less. The current logo we currently have almost achieves this but to many it looks like a silhouette of a black man.
People will see this logo on our website, printed materials, flyers, banners, bumper stickers, company vehicles, t-shirts
We need a logo update to represent our company ProjectVIBE. The concept behind the name Project: VIBE centers around a project, initiative, or mission to spread good vibes (euphoric feelings or memories associated with hearing good music) to music lovers everywhere.
I created several logos in the past (which are attached) to try to convey this but they fell a little short in effectively communicating the essence of what we are about.
We want the logo to illustrate music being heard but are open to other ideas.
+ a fresh look that conveys the idea of fresh music
+ a sophisticated sexy look
+ a logo that stands out but not too much
+ clear typeface and overall clean look
+ brown hues (might be open to other colors)
+ too many colors/special effects (gradients, drop shadows etc)
+ playful logo
+ flashy, busy logo
+ boring logo
+ stock images
I would suggest listening to our station at http://projectvibe.net (or http://projectvibe.net/home -- new site under development) to get a better feel for what we are about. It might serve as inspiration!
** Please make sure the logo looks good against lighter backgrounds. i.e. the site under development **
The logo must be consistent with our expected growth into other music related endeavors.
All source files (PSD or Paintshop Pro source files) as well as the final logo in .png, .jpg, and .gif

Today marks the first day of competition here in El Medano beach, Tenerife, Spain.
Unfortunately there was no wind, but it made for the perfect day for vacationers, riders and crew to explore the little fishing community here in El Medano.
Many riders prepared their kiteboarding gear in hopes of a change in the wind forecast. Spanish rider Gisela Pulido (Airsuh, ESP) as well as other riders jumped into the Red Bull simulated racing car to test there driving skills. After many crashes, some were successful and managed to speed their way across the finish line.
The 2002 PKRA world freestyle champion Mark Shinn (Shinn, GBR) is a registered wave competitor here in Tenerife. It's really exciting to have a legend back on the tour supporting the PKRA. Another PKRA legend 2 x PKRA world freestyle champion in 2001 and 2003 and 2007 PKRA wave champion, Martin Vari (Vari Kites, ARG) is also a confirmed registered competitor for the PKRA racing event, which will be held in Bariloche, Argentina. Legends are made every year from the PKRA.
The tour is expanding year after year and will continue to provide a reputable reputation in the years to come.
The wind forecast for tomorrow looks hopeful. The mandatory riders' meeting is scheduled for 10:30am tomorrow morning. Race director, Erik Troostheide will set the stage for a spectacular freestyle show.
The Kiteboarding World Cup Tenerife is supported in part by: Volumen Canarias, Turismo Granadilla De Abona Turismo De Tenerife, Ilustre Ayuntamiento De Granadilla De Abona, Coca Cola, Red Bull, Cruzcampo, Hotel Aeropuerto Sur, Hotel Mare Nostrum Resort, ASEC El Medano, Club De Kitesurf Borde De Ataque, PKRA, IKA, ISAF.

They have finally arrived! Botkier's first ever sunglass design. Inspired by the city of Miami, these red hot shades are for fun in the sun. Get out there and shine! Available exclusively at Sunglass Hut.
It was an honor to win this project through the CFDA who partnered with Vogue Eyewear to choose three members for three city inspired frames. "There were dozens of amazing applicants but Monica, Rebecca and Yeohlee's visions for this project were just exceptional," said Daniela Policastro, global brand manager at Vogue Eyewear. "Each pair artfully exemplifies the Vogue Eyewear brand, captures the essence of the inspiration city, and showcases the designer's unique identity. The 2011 City Collection provides a new perspective, a new twist on sunglass design."
Behind the scenes filming in the Botkier studio and…
…on location with the one and only Aimee Song. It was a lot of fun going through the entire process from inspiration board to sketch. Then from finished product to filming Aimee with her amazing style – our sunglasses and EDEN satchel. All that color for October!
"These sunglasses are meant for the woman who is edgy, sexy, fashion forward and likes to explore the city. They are meant for the fashion art girl who loves the museums, art galleries and always the parties during Art Basil Miami. A bold persona who can mix within the different worlds of Miami, whether it be a Cuban coffee shop, gallery opening or pool side party at The Raleigh." – Monica Botkier

Venice, also called Serenissmia, the most venerable, flourished in the late middle ages as a merchant center. The old established families competed for political power and influence in this city state. As the heads of these families, the players use their power and influence to build the most magnificent buildings and palaces along the grand canal. Those that move swiftly and cleverly may attain the highest office in Venice: the office of the Doge.

I am sure many of you are getting ready to take a summer road trip or a visit to the beach. If so, you are going to LOVE this! I recently returned from a 2 week road trip with my family of 5. We spent a large portion of our vacation at a beach house. I am not a huge beach/sand person, so I researched products to make this excursion more convenient and a little less messy. One item that I HAD to try out was the Sand Free Beach Sheet. Check out these great features:
- It's better than an ordinary heavy bulky beach blanket or towel!
- There's no need to shake out like a beach towel, sand sticks all over a beach towel, not to this beach sheet!
- You won't have to put your flip flops or beach bags on the corners to keep it from blowing away.
- Sand Free Beach Sheet will not blow away – it stakes down into the sand
- It's lightweight, made of soft natural fibers not plastic so it stays cool to lie on, dries quickly, and the sand just blows away!
- Comes with matching inflatable pillows that snap to the sheet.
- The only thing blowing away in the ocean breeze is the sand!
- The pillows make it comfortable to sunbath or nap on the beach.
- Folds compactly in re-sealable plastic bag, easy to carry and store away in.
The Sand Free Beach Sheet comes in 4 sizes:
Single Size = 84″ L x 42″ W
Double Size = 84″ L x 56″ W
Family Size = 84″ L x 84″ W
Extra Large = 84″ L x 106″ W
I tried out the family size sheet in Pink Polka Dot. The sheet came packaged in a great compact plastic bag. It was easy to pack away in the car with all of our other gear and took up very little space. We pulled out this sheet on the first day of vacation and never put it away again! It worked like a charm. I don't think I can ever go back to the old beach towel on the sand setup again. This family size sheet worked great for my family of 5. My husband and I, along with our 3 little ones fit comfortably on the Sand Free Sheet with room for our bags and gear. What made this sheet so great was the ability to stake it into the sand at the four corners. This held the sheet firmly in place, even on windy days. The inflatable pillows worked like a charm too. They easily snapped to the sheet and made a great setup for impromptu naps on the beach! At the end of the day we simply un-staked the sheet, shook it out and folded it up. That's it! No sandy mess at all! The sand slid easily from the sheet with a single shake. I highly recommend this product for your next trip to the beach. The sheet is easy to wash and will be
used for years to come! You can check out all of the great patterns at www.SandFreeBeachSheet.com "A sample of this product was provided to facilitate this review. All opinions expressed are my own."

Rap super star and entrepreneur Jay-Z ripped on the anti-corporate Occupy Wall Street Movement in the New York Times Magazine. From the NYTimes Magazine: (emphasis ours)
…He gets a little agitated when the subject of Zuccotti Park comes up: "What's the thing on the wall, what are you fighting for?" He says he told Russell Simmons, the rap mogul, the same: "I'm not going to a park and picnic, I have no idea what to do, I don't know what the fight is about. What do we want, do you know?"
Jay-Z likes clarity: "I think all those things need to really declare themselves a bit more clearly. Because when you just say that 'the 1 per cent is that,' that's not true. Yeah, the 1 per cent that's robbing people, and deceiving people, these fixed mortgages and all these things, and then taking their home away from them, that's criminal, that's bad. Not being an entrepreneur. This is free enterprise. This is what America is built on."
So Jay wants OWS to concentrate on Wall Street specifically. Thanks, Jay.

- Sources say Michelle "Bombshell" McGee received $30,000 for her interview with In Touch about her alleged affair with Jesse James, and McGee's claim that she didn't know James was still married to Sandra Bullock is totally bogus.
- One source says McGee hoped sleeping with Bullock's husband would be her ticket to "mainstream celebrity" and she was still texting James on March 14, days after Bullock's Oscar win. [Technorati via Us]
- As mentioned earlier, Jesse James apologized today to Sandra Bullock and his children (for...?), though he says "the vast majority" of the allegations against him are "untrue and unfounded." "There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me," he said. "It's because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way... This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me." [People]
- Here's how Sandra Bullock found out about whatever Jesse James was apologizing for: "In Touch magazine had called Sandra's publicist Monday morning to let her know the magazine was going to print an explosive cover story ... saying her husband was cheating," said a source at the magazine. "At first, camp Sandra dismissed the story until they understood that the magazine had the alleged mistress, tattoo model Michelle 'Bombshell' McGee, on the record telling all." [Popeater]
- This may explain why Jesse James abruptly deleted his Twitter page on Wednesday: He and Michelle McGee were following each other. You can still see what she wrote to him, but it's all boring, vague stuff like, "Sometimes to love yourself...you need to just walk away." [Radar]
- A photographer who has worked with Michelle McGee says that he thinks she's lying about her affair with Jesse James because, "Michelle Bombshell told my wife's ex-boyfriend that I tried to hit on her and that "if she had known he had a wife... Same thing she said about Jesse. She is full of shit." [Perez]
- Michelle McGee shot some NSFW ads for Coffin Couches, and Jesse James happens to own one of the couches. It's unclear if this is the couch upon which their torrid love affair commenced. [Animal NY]
- Here's a clip from a video filmed by the owner of the strip club where Michelle McGee works, in which she and two other strippers instruct men on how to pick up women. [Radar]
- Though Sandra Bullock took her step-kids to school last week, Jesse James was spotted taking them to school himself today. [Star]
- It seems Jesse James' ex-wife Janine Lindemulder has weighed in on the situation: She Tweeted recently, "Thank God For My Faithful Hubby!!" [Radar]
- Donald Trump, who has worked with both Sandra Bullock and Jesse James says, "Jesse did something very foolish - obviously... I think it's very unfortunate. Who knows what goes on behind closed doors? But I can say this Sandra is a high-quality person and I respect her tremendously." [Star]
- As if this week isn't bad enough for Jesse James, his dog Cinnabun is missing again. [TMZ]
- A "close friend" claims Kate Winslet left Sam Mendes after he told her one woman wasn't enough for him. "Sam had been really withdrawn and had shut himself away from her," claims the source. "They then had this big talk and he told her 'people can't be inspired by just one relationship. For me, it's never going to be about one relationship… life is a series of relationships. Kate told him 'For me it is, that's what I want', but Sam replied 'Well, that's not what I want' and they both knew the marriage could not go on, it was hopeless." [Daily Mail]
- Lindsay Lohan may be banned from India for lying about rescuing child workers during her trip to film a BBC documentary last year. Though Lindsay Tweeted, "Over 40 children saved so far ... Within one day's work ... This is what life is about ... Doing THIS is a life worth living!!!" she only arrived after the raids were over and did not personally rescue any children. She also broke India's visa laws by entering the country as a tourist, then working for the BBC. [Telegraph]
- Michael Lohan is at home resting after undergoing heart surgery. "The doctors told me my arteries were 10-20 percent precluded but they were able to blow them out," Lohan said. "I feel a little winded and a little out of breath, but I'm ok. They told me that inside, I have the body of a 30-year-old, but that I need to go on medication for stress. I've got to keep my stress down." [Radar]
- Roman Polanski's lawyers filed an appeals petition today asking the court to act on an emergency basis in light of new sealed testimony that there was inappropriate contact between the judge in the original case and two prosecutors.

This is his disturbing report:
A journey into Extinction.
At the 15th Conference of the Parties of CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora), in beautiful Doha/Qatar, the oceans were dealt a terrible blow by Japan.
It was Japan, together with China, Singapore and quite a few of the small countries, who received financial aid from Japan and participated in what I would call "The Oceans' Pearl Harbor". To watch them win this battle during which we all worked so hard to save and protect endangered marine species from extinction, was devastating.
The big losers of this despicable and ruthless behavior are the oceans, the sharks, the red corals and the Atlantic blue fin tuna. Since the ocean is our life support system, that makes all humans who live on this planet, big losers as well. Without a healthy ocean we will not be able to survive.
That is why I keep asking myself: "Who gives those people the right to loot our oceans?" Sadly, the answer is: "The members of CITES". They handed them the mandate to do so.
The fact that Japan was represented by 50 people, giving a lavish sushi party at their embassy the night before the vote on the tuna, twisting arms and applying pressure on the poor countries to get their vote, is clever but a disgusting display of "ownership" over our
Am I wrong when I say "our oceans"? Until now I was under the impression that the world's oceans belong to all of humanity and not to a "chosen few", who claim it their birthright to rob them of whatever those people like. The sushi party clearly tells me how the votes against sharks, tuna and red corals came about. You don't need to be a marine scientist to figure that out.
I don't believe that anybody would doubt that this kind of behavior had one common denominator: Money. I found it quite embarrassing to watch the representative from Island, walking around after the final vote on the Porbeagle shark was lost; putting her arms around every Japanese she could get her hands on and hugging the representatives from Singapore to show her pleasure over the damage they did to our
So what did we finally achieve as far as the oceans are concerned? It was a death sentence to the blue fin tuna and to certain shark species, which made those people, whose only concern is money, so very happy. There was little talk about the protection of marine life.
Nobody paid attention to the scientists, who warned about the consequences to the ocean if those species would be exterminated.
The fact that the population of the blue fin tuna has already been reduced by 80%, that the red coral is almost extinct in the Mediterranean, and that the hammerhead and some other sharks have been depleted by 90% in some areas, did not matter to those who want to continue the multibillion dollar business of killing them all.
Is that what CITES is all about? Has it become a convention in favor of trade with endangered species? There was a lot of talk about poor people who would suffer if we stop the killing; but I don't know too many poor people who do damage to the oceans. The damage is done by huge long-line fishing vessels, owned by rich people.
I also don't think that too many poor people will indulge in blue fin tuna sushi or in shark fin soup. That is exactly what the Japanese are doing and that's why the Sunday Times rightfully calls them: "A Country out of Step".

Developing a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit and an understanding of the supernatural is an exciting part of our spiritual journey in Christianity. The Holy Spirit plays a vital role in our lives as believers and followers of Christ. The Holy Spirit is a holy mystery. But the unfortunate thing is that, many of us neither know his personality nor His mission on earth, though we enjoy His accompany. Here is a detailed account of who the Holy Spirit really is.
The English term "Spirit" comes from its Latin origin, spiritus and rendered as רוּחַ (ruach) in Hebrew-language. The Hebrew ruach means "wind," or "breath". The adjective used to describe it as 'Holy' means 'devoted to the services of God'.
The Holy Spirit is a living spirit being devoted to the service of GOD.
Living: he has life or existing
Spirit: a breath or of divine nature; supernatural or without a physical form.
Being: a creature
By the above we can say the Holy Spirit is a divine person. The Holy Spirit carries God's power, projecting God's active force and energy to any place to accomplish the will of God.
The Holy Spirit comes from God (… the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father … John 15:26, 1 Corinthians 6:19, Galatians 4:6). He was in existence even before the creation of the world (Genesis 1:2).
The Holy Spirit is not visible (He cannot be seen with the eye), but produces visible effects, when in action that can be seen with the eyes. He is the third person of the trinity. He is God, but not as God the Father or God the Son And so in other words, the Holy Spirit is God's representative on earth.
The Holy Spirit has the following features
He hears (… but whatever He hears …, John 16:13)
He speaks (…for He will not speak on His own initiative …, John 16:13)
He moves (… And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters, Genesis 1:2)
He has emotions (And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Ephesians 4:30)
(Romans 15:10, Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me)
He makes decisions according to His will ( 1 Corinth 12:7-11, To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of …)
He thinks and knows (One and the same Spirit is active in all these, distributing to each person as he wills, 1 Corinthians 12:11),
(And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will of God, Romans 8:27)
You will have a feeling of His presence (… and they were filled with the Holy Spirit … Acts 2:4)
Keep on following for the next episode of the Holy Spirit teachings. On the next episode we shall learn about His duty on earth and in our lives.
Thank you for reading.

Rep. Readshaw addresses Korean War observance
August 2, 2011
State Rep. Harry Readshaw, D-Carrick, took in a ceremony marking the July 27, 1953 beginning of the Korean armistice and the conclusion of combat in the battle to prevent the military spread of communism in Asia in the 1950s.
The observance was held at the Korean War Veterans Memorial off North Shore Drive on the Allegheny River esplanade near PNC Park.
The Korean War was initiated by the invasion of South Korea by the forces of communist North Korea in June of 1950 and continued for more than three years. As United Nations forces, lead by the United States turned back the North Korean offensive and advanced into North Korea itself, the People's Republic of China sent in hordes of troops backed by military aid from the old Soviet Union. American troops and their UN allies battled both frigid temperatures and the Chinese, forcing a stalemate along the 38th parallel where a still-tense truce has remained in effect for 58 years.
Mr. Readshaw reminded ceremony attendees about the toll of American lives in the war; more than 36,000 combat deaths and nearly 3,000 lost from non-combat causes. More than 92,000 were wounded and over 7,000 taken prisoner. The fate of another 8,000 Americans missing on the peninsula remains unknown.
The state representative's voice echoed from the monument inscribed with the names of 932 men and women from Western Pennsylvania who died in Korea. He said the memorial ceremony must remain a local tradition for generations to come.
"We must remember our heroes," Mr. Readshaw said, "veterans who made the supreme sacrifice; those who served; those who answered their country's call with respect; those who answered their country's call in a responsible way; those who heard the message of the man who became our 34th president, Dwight D. Eisenhower:"

Oklahoma's Stoops is steaming over NFL, polls
NORMAN, Okla. — I sat in Bob Stoops' office Tuesday morning and chatted about the state of college football. On his coffee table is a giant cigar box filled with bowl watches. It looked like a stash you see sold in Times Square except these are authentic. But on overstuffed leather couches in his stained-wood digs we talked about three things that drive him crazy.
Players leaving for the NFL early: He immediately gets up, goes to a three-ring binder and hands me a sheet. It lists the average salaries of each round in the draft (Read more in our Big 12 series starting Sunday). It reads:
$13 million 1st round
$2.1 million 2nd round
$720,400 3rd round
$460,000 4th round
$171,500 5th round
$47,000 7th round
He said linemen Trent Williams and Gerald McCoy were projected as second-round picks as juniors after the 2008 season. They returned to school and went third and fourth overall, guaranteeing about $35 million each.
"So if you're not a first-round guy, you're foolish," he told me. "You're giving up your education and you're not going to maximize your window. It's a known fact also in the NFL, that guys with their degrees make more money and play longer than guys who don't."
On rethinking how Oklahoma plays tough non-league schedules while other top 10 powers don't: "I don't think in today's world you're rewarded for it. Look at the AP poll last year. We beat Oklahoma State at the end of the year, 27-0, and beat another ranked team in Stanford. Well, Oklahoma State's ranked ahead of us. Why? Look at how it's ranked every year. AP as well as the coaches all look at the loss column and if one team has one less loss than you they're ranked ahead of you."
Asked if he'll consider softening future schedules, he said, "It'll be considered. It's too early to say. I know AD Joe (Castiglione) looking at that but it'll be considered."
On college football's overtime format: "Overtime isn't right. Think about it. Defense isn't rewarded as it should be because you're given the ball in field goal range. This happened to me in Florida (as defensive coordinator) back in '98. We go out and take the field, 25-yard-line, back them up 5 yards over three downs. They kick a long field goal. We move the ball down to the 10, we miss a FG. So you're rewarding just field goals.
"You should earn a field goal. So put the ball on the 45 or the 50 and you've got to earn 10 yards or so to get a field goal. Or try a long one. It'll shorten overtime and it'll reward defense. You don't get a yard, they have to try a long field goal and you get the ball at the 45 and move the ball 10 yards, you've earned it."

2012 Playboy Playmate of the Year Jaclyn Swedberg — Playboy Girl of the Week [INTERVIEW]
Having just been announced the 2012 Playboy Playmate of The Year in early May, the beautiful 22-year-old still seems to be innocently elated. Last April she was graced with the title of Miss April 2011 and since then has had an incredibly successful, not to mention fun, career at Playboy.
One might find it surprising to discover that Playboy was and is the first place she has ever modeled. Take one look at her photos and you'll undoubtedly see a person who not only seems as if having confidence of an experienced professional having done it for years but also one who is more than happy to be where life has taken her.
GuySpeed: You were recently announced the 2012 Playboy Playmate of the Year. First of all, congratulations, that's fantastic.
Jaclyn Swedberg: Thank you very much.
GS: When did you actually get the news?
JS: A little over a week and a half ago, so it's still very crazy.
GS: You're still feeling the shock?
JS: Oh yeah! It's still so surreal every time I hear it. It's like 'is this really happening?'
GS: And how did you hear? Did Hef invite you over to the mansion for coffee?
JS: [laughs] Initially, it was a phone call. Before shooting and everything they said, 'Hef has chosen you for this.' Then there was some process after that but I didn't allow myself to make it feel real until I had it in my hands. So when I got the issue in my hands I was like, "Okay, now I can celebrate."
GS: That's a good strategy. Was this the dream since starting?
JS: It was. I kind of started at Playboy on a whim. I figured let me try this out and see what happens and where I go. After I started working for them becoming a playmate was a very abrupt thing. I didn't think it was real at first, but it eventually sunk it. And now becoming playmate of the year, it's a dream come true.
GS: How did you get started in Playboy and modeling in general?
JS: Playboy was the first thing I had ever done actually. I had been thinking about it for a little bit though. My mom and I were talking one morning and she said to do it. My family is super supportive. So I signed up online for a casting call and here I am now.
GS: Wow. What a great start. So it sounds like your family and friends are really backing you.
JS: Oh yeah! They are 110% supportive. It definitely wouldn't be the same experience that I'm having if they weren't behind me they way they are.
GS: Have any past friends or boyfriends been contacting you?
JS: [laughs] Yes. I have so many numbers showing up of people saying congratulations and I don't really know the number. I don't want to be rude so I'm like "thank you!"
GS: I'm always curious about that. When people make it they seem to get contacted by people they haven't spoken to in years or even knew about. I imagine it's similar for you.
JS: Exactly. It's very similar.
GS: Someone at Playboy was nice enough to give me your issue. I was reading the article and it said that since starting there you've changed a lot as a person.
JS: I have definitely.
GS: How has the experience changed you?
JS: I was a little shy growing up, really shy actually. Playboy forced me come out of my shell a little bit. When you make a commitment to this you have to be outward and very sociable. It's sort of been a crash course in not having any of those inhibitions.
GS: Has it given you opportunities that you might not have had otherwise?
JS: Oh absolutely. Every day is a new adventure. I get calls saying 'hey, can you go to Brazil in two days? Can you to go this, can you talk to this person?' The things I get to do, I have no complaints. It's a great job.
GS: Are those mostly photo shoots?
JS: Photo shoots, trips or parties; things like that. Mainly I work a lot of events so it's me in my bunny costume usually. Those are the most fun. They're places you can't be shy because you are out, you are talking to people and representing the brand. You really have to put forth a certain image.
GS: Speaking of the bunny costume, in the article you did mention that were you to be given the title you'd wear the outfit to all of the events.
JS: [laughs] Yes, I do get to wear it. I haven't worn it all the time but I do get to wear it a lot.
GS: What has been the most exciting aspect of it all?
JS: The whole thing has been great, but I think the most exciting to date is probably the first time I got to see the cover and the first time I got to see my issue. It was mind blowing. Every time I see it out in public it's that feeling all over again. Also, the trips I've been able to take and the places I've been able to go. Every day I don't know what phone call I'll get. I like that type of spontaneity.
GS: Is there a favorite place you've been asked to go?
JS: Yes! I got to go to Brazil, to Rio during Carnival.
GS: Wow, that's very cool.
JS: I know! We were there for two days. It was so great. It's the most amazing place I've ever seen.
GS: So with all of the time taken up by the trips, photo shoots and events what do you do to relax?
JS: I love to read. I also bake. Usually, if I've had a really long day I like to bake.
GS: Baking? What do you like to bake?
JS: I love cookies and cupcakes!
GS: What about books?
JS: I'm a big true crime and horror fan. I love scary books. Also horror movies.
GS: It sounds like there's really no downside to being the Playmate of the Year.
JS: [laughs] You know, there's not. Nothing is negative. Everyone close to me is very supportive so that helps. Though I don't get much sleep recently. [laughs] But I'm thankful for that. There's nothing I can complain about. I'm very fortunate.

Sen. Mike Lee is no longer taking hallway interviews. While any senator might decline to answer a particular question (sometimes it's the wrong question, the wrong reporter or the wrong time), the Utah Republican, around September, joined a small group of senators who will not take questions from reporters in between points A and B, where most members of the press buttonhole lawmakers on any topic that comes to mind.
Lee told CQ Roll Call — as part of a wide-ranging interview in his Senate office Thursday — that most questions thrown at him are generally not of the "yes" or "no" variety, and he said he felt he was often giving them short shrift.
