Hello! We are proud to announce the official schedule for KSI's 2nd Annual Spring Break, to be held Friday, March 23 - Sunday, March 25, 2018!
This year's Spring Break event is momentous in several ways. It is the first large-scale competitive event on the 2018 calendar, and it serves as the official start of KSI's new initiative, the KSI Divisional Cup.
As per every large event, there will be a schedule of events, a forums poll, and a scoring system to rank divisions in the order they finish. We will also be holding a Twitch Subscriber Lottery drawing for either KSI Merchandise or a 1-month Loot Crate subscription.
Friday, March 23rd: (8 p.m. EST)
- Town Hall -- Divisional Cup/Spring Break Q&A
- Rainbow Six Siege - 4v4 Secure Area
- Halo 5 - 4v4 Swat
Saturday, March 24th: (8 p.m. EST)
- Rocket League - 2v2
- Black Ops 2 - 4v4 TDM
- Black Ops 2 - 7's FFA
Sunday, March 25th: (6 p.m. EST)
- WWII - 4v4 TDM
- WWII - 7's FFA
- Overwatch - 2v2 Mystery Heroes
Sign-ups for these events will be posted in the weeks to come in the Spring Break area on the forums, which can be found here. Only 7s may post sign-ups for the division, which can be edited until the evening of the event. Each division is allowed just one (1) team per event. For FFAs, there may be just two (2) 7s per division.
There will be a Poll posted as part of the event. It will open at 8 p.m. EST on Friday and close at 8 p.m. EST on Sunday. Votes will count toward participation for divisions and members will be asked to post a reply to become eligible for the Spring Break 2018 award!
Prizes will be $10 codes, given out to the winners of each individual event. Total prizes for the competition will value ~$200.
The Twitch Sub Drawing will happen on Sunday evening. Anybody who subscribes to KSILive before 6 p.m. that night will be entered into the drawing for the merchandise/Loot Crate prize. We may do more than one drawing, depending on Subscriptions. (Reminder: All Subscription revenue is used exclusively for prize pools for events, and the more Subs we get, the more prizes (and the bigger the prizes) we can offer.)
Divisional Cup
Division Cup will keep track of divisional participation throughout the year! Starting at Spring Break and ending with January's Award Show, we will be ranking divisions each month by their participation, growth, and officer staff ratio to develop a competition for Division of the Year!
The division with the most points each month will be named Division of the Month.
A list of monthly events will be posted with meeting notes and in the Marketing Area on the forums so everyone can be aware of what will count toward points! Divisions can expect to see points counted for Weekend Warfare, Montage and Clip submissions, News Team contests, Twitch Subscriptions, and OTM/DOTM award periods in the AAP. Additional events will be added depending on what is happening in KSI for that particular month.
KSI's large events -- Spring Break, Spirit Week, Fall Classic, and Turkey Bowl -- will count independently and figure into the overall scores, but not the monthly tallies.

Olivia Wilde breastfeeds son in photoshoot
OLIVIA WILDE has been pictured breastfeeding her baby son as part of a high fashion magazine photoshoot.
The Tron: Legacy star is seen wearing a sparkling designer gown and towering high-heeled shoes as she nurses four-month-old Otis, her first child with fiance Jason Sudeikis.
Wilde hopes posing for the intimate shot for America's Glamour magazine will empower other new mothers, saying, "Being shot with Otis is so perfect because any portrait of me right now isn't complete without my identity as a mother being a part of that. Breastfeeding is the most natural thing... It feels like Otis should always be on my breast. It felt like we were capturing that multifaceted woman we've been discussing - that we know we can be. You can be someone who is at once maternal and professional and sexy and self-possessed. I mean, I certainly don't really look like that when I'm (usually) breastfeeding."
She adds of her wedding plans, "We're engaged, but no specific plans yet. We just have to find the time to put it together. In many ways, a child is more of a commitment. We are fully committed and really happy as a family... I don't feel any pressure to do it (marry). But I think it will be really fun."

Dogs and Their Owners Pose for Adorable Then and Now Photos
Here is a little something for you, since everybody knows that Tuesday is secretly the worst day of the week. It's pet owners recreating old photos of themselves with their dogs. Because nothing can cheer you up quite like adorable pictures of dogs. Except maybe then and now pictures of dogs. Just try not to let it remind you of your own pet's mortality -- that's what 'Marley & Me' is for.

(AP) Signs of firm US recovery trigger market gains
By CARLO PIOVANO
Associated Press
Evidence that the U.S. economic recovery is firmly on track drove markets higher on Friday, adding to the cheer from good economic indicators out of Europe.
The world's largest economy added 157,000 jobs in January, in line with market expectations, though hiring over the past two years was revised up. The improvement was not sufficient to prevent the unemployment rate _ which is based on surveys of households, not employers _ from edging up to 7.9 percent from 7.8 percent in December.
But the figure eased concerns that the U.S. economic recovery may have been running out of steam. Official data this week showed the economy contracted on an annualized basis in the fourth quarter for the first time in three years, though mainly due to a one-off fall in defense spending.
Other indicators released Friday proved similarly upbeat _ a measure of manufacturing activity in the U.S. rose strongly in January while construction spending grew in December.
By midafternoon in Europe, Germany's DAX was up 0.8 percent to 7,837.28 while France's CAC-40 added 1.3 percent to 3,781.43. Britain's FTSE 100 rose 0.9 percent to 6,333.81.
Wall Street rallied on the open, with the Dow rising 1 percent to 13,994.05, trading momentarily above 14,000 for the first time since October 2007. The broader S&P 500 added 0.8 percent to 1,510.53.
Although the Dow Jones industrial average finished lower on Thursday, the index logged its best January since 1994 by finishing 5.8 percent higher for the month. The Standard & Poor's 500 finished the month 5 percent higher, its best start to the year since 1997.
Earlier, upbeat news in Europe had helped push markets higher. Official figures showed the unemployment rate in the 17-country eurozone was at a lower-than-expected 11.7 percent in December, unchanged from the previous month's rate, which was revised down from 11.8 percent, a record high. Inflation was also steady, suggesting the recession ravaging the currency union is it abating.
"With eurozone economic activity seemingly bottoming out last October and business confidence picking up, the pressure on labor markets has eased," said Howard Archer, chief European economist at HIS Global Insight.
"Nevertheless, business confidence is still relatively low in most countries and eurozone economic activity is unlikely to be strong enough to prevent further rises in unemployment over the coming months."
Earlier in Asia, stocks were mixed after manufacturing data from China fell short of expectations. Industrial production is still growing, but at a slower pace, according to the government-sanctioned China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing. Its manufacturing index for January fell to 50.4 from 50.6 in December on a 100-point scale in which numbers above 50 indicate expansion.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell marginally to 23,721.84. South Korea's Kospi dropped 0.2 percent to 1,957.79. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.9 percent to 4,921.10. The ASX closed at 4,879 on Thursday, capping its best January since 1995, Lucas said.
Japan's Nikkei 225, meanwhile, was once again energized by the yen's continued descent against the dollar. The index rose 0.5 percent to 11,191.34.
Benchmark oil for March delivery was down 12 cents to $97.37 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 45 cents to close at $97.49 a barrel on the Nymex on Thursday.
In currencies, euro rose to $1.3645 from $1.3574 late Thursday in New York. The dollar rose to 92.39 yen from 91.38 yen.

As the biggest sports event of the year approaches, most of you will be focusing on all the traditional preparations. First you invite all your friends—obviously your house will be THE place to watch on Super Sunday. Next there's the age-old question of menu. Will it be a low key wings and potato chips afternoon? Or will you go all out with an elaborate spread of gourmet munchables that might possibly include the legendary bacon explosion? Finally, you'll stock up the fridge with beer and other stuff for the heathens that don't drink beer.
With everything planned and sorted, all you need to do is get comfortable. If you're lounging by the TV or running around helping guests, our Relaxed Fit® from SKECHERS collection offers perfect footwear options to help you feel good during the game. Each features a roomier fit plus our Skechers Memory Foam™ footbed for total comfort.

Today we've announced the launch of Mozilla Messaging, the new name for the entity I've been calling MailCo on this blog. As promised, it's a new subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation, focused on email and internet communications. We've put up the essential information about the organization on the website, but I have more room for background here.
Since I signed up for this job, I've repeatedly been struck by the amazing opportunity it represents. No matter who I talk to, people are happy to know that Mozilla is doing this, go out of their way to express their shared optimism in the project, and either send their heartfelt best wishes, or simply offer their assistance. How many organizations can say that?
Email and other forms of internet communications present us with a paradox. The stunning proportion of our days spent communicating online clearly indicates that as a society, we are more intricately connected via the internet than ever before. I'm a case in point, strongly connected to dozens of people over the last few months in a shared effort to launch this new company, which lives nowhere and everywhere at the same time. Email, IM and IRC make that possible.
Yet as the number of such interactions grows, and as the number of ways in which we interact grows, the joy that communication can bring is too often replaced by frustration, confusion, or stress. Furthermore, as we transmit more and more digital data, privacy and control questions become more and more troublesome.
One common short-hand for the above is to say, somewhat flippantly, that "email is broken".
I'll explain what we're going to do about it in the short term, but the more interesting question is for me to ask you "what are you going to do about it?" As I've slowly internalized over the last few months, the notion that anyone can and should participate in helping fix whatever is broken is a key tenet of the Mozilla project. It has structural implications for how we build companies, and, I believe, it's a key advantage compared to all the other companies who are tackling the nest of issues that entangle internet communications.
We know we can't do it alone, and we're not even going to try. Indeed, rather than lay out a bold vision and convince people that we're going to solve all their problems, we see our primary role as that of facilitating collaborative approaches to problem solving and incremental progress, through a combination of leadership and facilitation work. This is an unusual approach, and it can be chaotic and slow. But it seems to have worked well for Firefox and the web, and I believe it can work well for Thundebird and email.
So what's our plan?
Our plan starts with building a great product. Firefox has shown that if you have a great product that tens of millions of people love to use daily, doors open and more opportunities become within reach. So we'll focus on the product. Thunderbird 2 is already a hugely successful product by many measures, providing a great email experience to millions of users around the world, in 37 languages, on all three major operating systems.
We can make it even better.
We'll do that by responding to user feedback, by incorporating key contributions from third party developers, by providing a streamlined user experience which lets people focus on the interactions they want to have with other people rather than with the software that's in front of them. We'll do that by taking into consideration the needs that people have today, and planning for the needs that people will have tomorrow. We'll do it by implementing the best software engineering and open source practices we can.
No, really, what's our plan?
We've started defining what Thunderbird 3 will be, because we think that there is enough consensus to make some of the first decisions on the most important changes to tackle first. Specifically, Thunderbird 3 will build on the great base that is Thunderbird 2 (and the work already performed in trunk by the current and past contributors), and add some key features, such as:
- integrated calendaring (building on the great work done by the Mozilla Calendar team and their Lightning add-on to Thunderbird),
- better search facilities,
- easier configuration,
- and a set of other user interface improvements.
What each of those means in practice will be worked out in public, on blogs, mailing lists, and newsgroups, as transparently as possible.
In parallel, we're going to be starting a multi-year process of improving the back-end architecture of Thunderbird. Over the years, Thunderbird hasn't had the resources devoted to it that Firefox has, and it's time to catch up, so that we can implement many of the features we have planned, and so that we can take advantage of the improvements to the Mozilla platform that were built for Firefox, but which we can leverage as well.
Longer term
We're also going to start a broader conversation as to what the long term vision is for Thunderbird, which will feed back into the software development plans. I'll have more to say about this soon, but I can give a sketch of where my thinking currently is:
First, it's important to start from a solid understanding of what Thunderbird is today. Most importantly, it's a desktop client built on the same technology platform as Firefox. This gives it some weaknesses, and some strengths. I think we should build on the strengths and mitigate the weaknesses.
One huge strength is the extensibility of the platform, which is one key differentiator for Firefox, and which can be even more important for a communications client than it has been for a web browser. Another strength is that we already have a complete web technology stack built into our mail client, and as a result, we can consider deep integration with both websites and web services which other solutions can only dream of. Another, crucial strength, is that as an open source desktop application, Thunderbird "belongs" to the individual person using it, not to the owner of any one website or communications network. As people struggle with keeping track of disparate communication channels and social networks, this nexus of control becomes a sweet spot for integration. There are significant weaknesses as well, most importantly the need to install the software to use it. There are interesting possibilities to consider there as web application technologies become faster, richer, and better integrated with the desktop experience, which will inform our long-term planning.
Second, it's important to keep an eye on larger trends. Email is more important than ever, and yet it's no longer the only game in town, or even the dominant one for younger generations or emerging economies. It is worthwhile considering what the right user experience could be for someone using multiple email addresses, multiple instant messaging systems, IRC, reading and writing on blogs, using VoIP, SMS, and the like. What parts of those interactions make sense to integrate, and where? I don't believe that stuffing all of those communication models inside of one application is the right answer. But the walled gardens that we're faced with today aren't the right answer either. There is room for innovation and progress here, and we need to facilitate it.
Finally, it's important to keep our options open. Thunderbird has a unique opportunity because of its relative uniqueness as a popular open source desktop communications client. There are countless possibilities for evolution even today, and more will show up tomorrow.
Time will tell whether the plan succeeds. I'm happy to hear about other approaches we should consider, so feel free to drop me a line.
To build a company that can succeed in this effort requires individuals who share an common perspective on what defines success. I'm extremely proud of the people who have alread chosen to help, signing on as board members, employees and contractors, or as volunteer contributors. If you get to interact with them, I'm sure you'll understand why. Each of them combine deep competence in some aspect of building a great software company, understands that to succeed we must be part of a broader community, and subscribes to the Mozilla vision of what the internet could and should be. They all could be spending their time doing something more lucrative, but apparently they simply couldn't resist the opportunity to try and work together to do something really great, and have fun in the process. I can't wait to work with all of them.
In addition, I've been awed by the competence and dedication of all of the people who have helped us get to today's launch. At this point I think everyone in Mozilla has helped in some key way, starting with legal & recruiting, through engineering, QA, build, marketing, and PR, and finishing, late at night, with IT. Thanks to all, and I look forward to continuing our collaboration!
In some ways, I hope that I won't have much occasion to write about what Mozilla Messaging, Inc. is doing over the coming months, because it is not the interesting story. We'll provide significant input and leadership in the direction setting, engineering work, and operational support, but the really interesting story will be whether we can convince people to spend their time working with us.
Email is broken. What are you going to do about it?

Using Language Switcher Plug-in with Atahualpa
I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this but here goes...
I want to use Language Switcher with Atahualpa on this site:
However, while everything else works fine it will not work in the post TITLE.
Language Switcher works likes this lang_fr] French Language Content [/lang_fr][lang_eng]Enlish language Content[/lang_eng] and in the post title this is displayed literally rather than the desired language content.
I'm assuming this is because what is posted in the TITLE is derived from the Atahualpa Post Option.
So, how do I disable the Atahualpa Post Option or how do I work around it?

As we know, you have to spend lots of money and time in the game to become a powerful player. Game is for fun, but do you feel pleasant after paying for it?
Many players must have deep feeling about the sentence "Impulse is devil". All kinds of promotion, glittering top gears, and various events in the game make you impetuous beyond yourself. But most players regret after accessing to the premium service. Can you tell me the reason?
First reason: tricked by so-called "flash sale"
"New Year Gift Pack, Rare Items and Top Gears, 3-day flash sale"! Should I buy the new gift pack? It's a pity to miss them, but I haven't used up the items in the previous pack. Finally, you paid for the new pack and you find that you have bought all the packs in the year. What's more hateful, the gears in the flash sale at that time quickly became outmoded and weak ones. A more fashionable and powerful gear is awaiting you in another greater promotion.
Second reason: spent by a "game mate"
There is a marriage system in most games. You can marry a stranger, explore the instances and chat with him/her together. Though you have never met each other, you still want to do everything for him/her. But will you regret when you find both of you are of the same gender some day?
Third reason: paid for little and cheap items gradually
"USD 1 for each gem, 2 for each weapon and 5 for each mount". They are very cheap, aren't they? You can buy them quickly and completely at one time. But many a little makes a mickle. Will you regret when you receive the bill in the future?

As predicted in my first post, the thread seems to have neatly split into two camps, with each camp determined to insult the people in the other camp for their (im)morality and poor choices. Makes me sad, but I guess it's human nature.
Maybe we can advance the discussion a little by pointing out that some people seem to equate willingness to act with ability to act effectively. The two are not the same thing.
Firearms can be used defensively in one of three ways.
1) As a threat, unfired. This is by far the most common use of the defensive handgun. Bad guy approaches, good guy shows a gun, bad guy runs away, end of story. This level of use requires absolutely no training whatsoever in order to be effective.
2) As a close contact weapon. Bad guy comes so close you can smell the scum on his teeth. You draw and fire. Bad guy falls down or runs away, end of story. This requires a low level of shooting skill and a slightly higher level of gun-manipulation skill (eg being able to draw quickly enough to save your own life). A very small amount of training can get you to this point.
3) As a ranged weapon. Bad guy is across the room from you, or across a large public space such as a mall, perhaps as far as 75 yards from your position. He is surrounded by running, screaming, moving, yelling innocents. He is moving -- perhaps very quickly. Most likely, he is not facing you directly, but may be quartered away. The light may be poor (as in the Colorado theater). There may be other distractions, such as the sobbing of your own terrified, injured children. Using a defensive handgun as a ranged weapon under these circumstances takes a much higher level of skill than most untrained people realize.
As an aside, Nick Melli effectively used the lowest, "show a gun" level of response on the active shooter in the Clackamas Mall last December. Unusually, it worked. A more common outcome for a similar action would be the one experienced by Dan McKown, who lives in a wheelchair following his failed attempt to stop an attacker in the Tacoma Mall about a decade ago.
One final observation. Whenever a subject like this comes up, I see a lot of evidence of the Dunning-Kruger Effect at work. People without training often mistakenly believe they have a lot more ability to effectively respond to a mass murder event than they actually do. Unfortunately, the only way to remove their misconceptions is for them to go get the training they don't think they need. Talk about a Catch 22!

The original poster said something that I understood one way, but it seems everyone else understood it a different way. He wrote, in part:
My understanding of the gambit, ""oh, so if some crazy person starts shooting in a mall, you can take him out?" was that the person asking the OP this was in reality belittling him, suggesting that carried a handgun in order to be a "hero" or Batman or some self-aggrandizing "wanna-be" savior with an inflated sense of his own ability and worth. It seems like an attack, not an honest question.
His answer that no, he carried the gun to protect himself and his family, not the general public, did not seem to me to entail the proposition that he would not intervene to save the general public if the chance presented itself - only that he did not carry specifically for that purpose. The OP can clarify this if he sees fit to do so.
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm reading too literally, maybe I'm reacting to those who, in the past, have accused me of "wanting to save the world" - while they choose not to carry, but rather to depend on "the authorities" and on the odds against "it" happening when and where they happen to be.
"Responsibility" is circumstantial. My responsibility is to provide for my wife. If she is present, I'll do my best to keep her safe - whether that means shooting an attacker (given the opportunity, and a lot of luck) or inducing her to move to a safer place (like out the back door). She is a stubborn woman but will move to safety if the situation clearly warrants it.
If she is safe at home, my situation is quite different. I'm within 2 years of retirement and have life insurance through my employer. I pay a little extra (Supplemental Life) and she will get 5 years of my salary if I die before I retire. I'm literally worth more dead than alive.
If she is safe I see my responsibility as a Citizen to use whatever tools and skill I have to end a gratuitous attack on innocent people. Even people who are legally capable of having a CHL (i.e. adults, not prohibited persons) but have chosen not to.
Best case, I subdue the attacker and pay legal bills, am exonerated. Next best, I end the attack but loose my life. Worse if I fail to subdue the attacker and loose my life. Worst case, I'm crippled and a burden.
If she is safe at home and I bug out instead of engaging the attacker, allowing him to keep shooting until the cops arrive - I'd better not go home, she will be so disgusted with me that getting shot would be a better deal.
So to the OP - No you are not wrong! You seem to have a good handle on why you have chosen to carry a handgun. May you never have to use it for real.

and I thought CCW was about taking responsibility for your own safety, who purchased a CCW solely or in part for protecting the public?

My statements were a response to the post here:
You made cautionary statements that suggest you wonder yourself here:
I agreed in an earlier post with the assumption that some shouldn't and could cause more harm than good. Then I pointed out that the "Newbie's every where" mentality exist and that in reality it is exaggerated as to the numbers. Also that the likelihood of the scenario, was even less likely than most due to the location.
When you have a very unlikely scenario with very little newbies among ccw the likelihood for one of them to be the person there reaches big lottery proportions.
Then I made my point that I would rather a stranger be there for protection rather than no one. You saw why in my response. I take it you disagree. I respect your point as to why.
Even though you didn't know Grizz223 was a deputy sherriff at the time did you assume he was someone he's not remember?
Would it be fair if i presumed by your term "LEAN FORWARD" that somehow you were a supporter of Rachel Maddow ? That you where here to disrupt our beliefs?
That would be very unfair, even a little passed uncalled for and assumptive. Go's back to my problem with assumptions as to who can do what and when we go there we stretch a scenario past the point it was intended if we assume that they may not be making the best choice for reasons for lack of what? Presumed possible ability in a scenario with very little odds a ccw will be ther to begin with because most malls don't allow CCW?
Straw Man arguement definition: (A straw man or straw person, also known in the UK as an Aunt Sally,[1][2] is a type of argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[3] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and to refute it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.[3][4] This technique has been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly in arguments about highly charged, emotional issue)
..did I follow a position in a statement and debate it or was I simply trying to divert the argument with the false claim that someone did make a statement that i never proved?
If you ever have to use a firearm, you don't get to pick the scenario!

I agree that there will very likely be circumstances and complications that you had not foreseen, or that were not foreseeable.
Just for starters, as pax said...what if he is 75 feet...or 75 yards away?
What if he is firing an AK and you have your trusty LCP?
No matter how badly you want to do what you consider "the right thing", circumstance may intervene.
That's why we "never say never or always".

Very simply put,
I must evaluate the situation.
I must base my actions on that evaluation
I must be accountable for my actions.
It really is that simple.

Wreck-n-Crew said:
As far as the third scenario, look at what happened in NYC last year, with ricochets hitting several bystanders.
And those are just shootings involving cops (as the good guy shooters).
Similarly, as to the third scenario, go to an IDPA match sometime, and see how many people manage to hit the no-shoot targets over the course of an event.
The overall point being, people who see the situations under discussion as cut and dried have probably never tried to perform the types of shooting they might have to do in such a scenario.
If you think you might find yourself in such an encounter, and that you would want to try to take down the shooter, then it might be a good idea to try such training drills as:
Shoot a head shot on a target that is partially obscured by multiple no-shoot targets. Increase distances, or decrease allotted times, as you get better at it;
Shoot center mass on a target while you move behind cover;
Set up a moving target; try to score A zone hits; change target direction of movement between lateral, fore and aft, etc as able;
Shoot a target from around a barrier, exposing as little of yourself as possible.
Do these two-handed, then strong hand only, then weak hand only.
Add other drills as you like.
The point is, it's a good idea to know YOUR OWN LIMITATIONS. Bear in mind that performance when under fire will probably be degraded as compared to performance on a sterile range.
Complex decisions should not be made on minimal information; the more you know beforehand, the less you have to think about when things happen.

To change the subject slightly, last I checked, there wasn't anything on my CCW application or an oath I took that said, "I promise to protect the public now that I will be carrying a gun." or something to that effect. I'm not carrying a gun to be a hero. I'm not carrying a gun to make society safer. I'm carrying a gun to protect myself, and my family. If that makes me a coward, then so be it. The first thing any respectable defensive handgun training will teach you is to stay away from bad situations, and try to get out of bad situations you find yourself in.
I'm not saying I wouldn't do something altruistic in an active mass murder situation...as a matter of fact, my very nature would compel me to do something. It would require willpower for me to think about my family (whether they are there or not) and add that into the equation of what I would do. Pax made a great point. It's why I get training, so that I can respond to the greatest number of threats possible. But I'm under no illusion to believe I'll be able to outshoot a murderer with an AR, 40 yards away, with my Glock 19. That would be near suicide.
That's why this is such a complex problem. There is no simple, "Yes I will do something," or "No, I won't do anything." Many people might lean one way or another, but when the balloon goes up, the situation will likely be something you've never considered, and you'll have to take about a dozen things into consideration in about a second to make your decision. Calling people a coward for inaction is incredibly low, and insulting. Having a CCW does not give you an obligation to act. We are not police. We are not sworn law enforcement. We are citizens, who for one reason or another have decided to not let muggers, rapists, violent robbers, murderers and crazy people decide our fates.
And adding to what MLeake has said. If you haven't done an IDPA match...go do one. If you've never done that kind of shooting before, you'll likely be amazed at how bad at it you are. We're talking things that you thought you were good at, like shooting a targets a mere 7 yards away. Things get much different when you have multiple targets, multiple no-shoots, required movement, required reloads (and make sure not to leave any partially filled mags on the ground!), shooting from awkward positions, and of course, the ever present pressure of the clock.

There are a lot of actions a good and moral person can take that are NOT "doing nothing" -- and that also do not involve shooting the bad guy. Only doing nothing is doing nothing.

Am I wrong??
Here's my take on 3rd party scenarios...
Stay out of it.
In all likelihood, you do NOT know what's happening or even who the good/bad guy(s) might be. An undercover plainclothes officer could look like a scumbag. Or a scumbag could be dressed in a uniform. In my CCW class, it was made very clear to all in attendance that you're very likely to screw up and misidentify the parties involved or be considered a hostile by LEOs.
Stay out of it.

no one can say if your wrong or not, some might like or dislike your choice but its your choice, you dont have a responsibility or duty to protect the public
but at the same time if i had a gun on me, and someone started shooting in a mall, if i could safely take the shot i would

1) the curriculum might have been designed by the state. There could be specific language that basically says they are required to teach that your first course of action should always be to attempt to get yourself out if the situation, regardless.
2) If 1) isn't the case, then the instructor might be trying to limit his liability. Lets say you decided to confront the shooter. But one of your bullets struck a bystander. You can bet your CCW instructor or someone familiar with the curriculum will be called to the stand in court. Teaching to always retreat means they can say, "I don't know why he confronted the shooter, but we didn't teach him that. We taught them to always remove themselves from the situation if at all possible.
I'm not saying that confrontation is the right option (as my above posts indicate), but its likely your CCW class was required to teach it that way regardless of what the instructor believed.

I agree with the instructor. Unless I know for dead certain, I'll stay out of it. I'll try to be a good witness who can give a decent description of what I saw unfolding.

I'm with you too, I'm not saying I won't not take a shot, but my first inclination is to get away. Like I said, it might not be a state requirement either, but there is still very much a liability issue. And of course, he could be teaching it because he believes it. But he likely would have taught it that way even if he didn't believe it. My CCW instructor taught the class to always retreat first. When I asked him about this very issue during a break, he told me he was required to teach it that way, but wishes he could have told people to intervene if they had the opportunity to, in an effort to save lives.

In the distant past when I was young and stupid I have fired upon people I didn't know to protect other's that I didn't know. I was taught to run toward the fight, not away. And that an honorable man doesn't start fights, they finish them. If that is no longer politically correct in America, then it's probably a good thing that I'm old and won't be around much longer to cause embarrassment.
My above comment notwithstanding, there is a time and place to enter the fray, and each situation needs to be assessed on it's merits or lack thereof. In an active shooter situation or confrontation between two unknown parties I would probably not take action unless the players were clearly identified to me. There is right and wrong, and there is stupidity.

I'll say this again. The biggest danger you're going to have as an armed citizen in an Active Shooting Situation is not from the shooter, but from another CCW carrier or responding police.
It's going to be chaotic at best. Anyone brandishing a gun is going to be suspect.
Rob Pincus covers this very well in his DVD so I wont step on toes and mention it here.

Besides, there's a ton of things that can be done in these situations that don't require using your gun that can save lives. Unfortunately, we as shooters tend to look at all of these kind of situations in the context of "how can I use my gun to fix this problem" sort of like the hammer, to whom every problem looks like a nail. In one of Pax's posts, she gave a good list of things that can be done that will save lives, and don't require the gun. All of which are honorable, heroic, but don't require you to run towards the gunfire.

Back in the 80s, when William Cruse decided to shoot up the Publix and Winn Dixie grocery stores in Palm Bay, Florida, one of the big heroes of the day never fired a shot. That Samaritan drove his pickup truck through the shooting area, picking up some wounded and letting others move along beside his truck, using it as shelter against Cruse 's fire.

Am I wrong?
Wow, what a thread! I think we have gotten away from the OP's original question.... "Am I wrong?"
No, you are not. I'm with you in that I don't carry to protect the general public. It's not my job or responsibility. That doesn't mean I wouldn't given the right circumstances.
I think Doc back on post #52 has the most realistic view. That is the world we live in folks, like it or not. I would suggest that if you haven't read his post that you go back and do so.
I'm a child of the '50s and love to be the hero. I'm a bit older and wiser(I hope) now and tend to agree...."No good deed goes unpunished". This is no longer the country I was raised in. You can get sued into bankrupcy for trying to help. Or worse, go to jail.

I don't know how to edit my original post (sorry new here) but if the situation presented itself to end an active shooter situation I would end it. If I was with my family, their safety is #1 priority. I've trained quite a bit and am comfortable with my carry gun. I was talking to someone who is very skeptical of firearms in general and I didn't want the gun community to get any more bad press. Gotta be careful what you say to these people or right away you're a vigilante or some such. I hope this clears up the issue, and I have greatly enjoyed reading the debate on this thread. Both sides have hit some great points!

One Ostentatious '54
Without a hitch, fighting tooth and nail, and just plain odd are a few sayings that can describe situations, but it's still beyond strange how some things transpire. There's really no rhyme or reason to anything in this world, because the truth of the matter is that day-to-day situations come in all different sizes and shapes-it's just the nature of the beast. Yet knowing all this, we still can't help but give a puzzled smirk to the way certain events unfold, much like how John Bills acquired his '54 Ford.
A few years back, John had a boat in need of a mule to haul it to and from the lake. Looking for a bargain, he jumped on eBay and found this '54 Ford in Denver, Colorado, 500 miles away from his Lincoln, Nebraska, home. When he went to pick the truck up, the owner told him he may not get it to start again if he turned it off, so on that note it was straight on through until he got back to Lincoln. The plan was to swap the straight-six and factory tranny out for a V-8 and automatic transmission and hit the lake.
To get things rolling, John met up with Pete Klucas, owner of Top End Engineering in Lincoln. Together they began laying down a plan, but before the truck really got kicked off, John sold the boat! Now he was left with a truck he bought for a purpose, yet that purpose was now gone. However, John figured a truck is the quintessential utilitarian vehicle, so he went ahead and followed through with the initial build. And just like that, it wasn't long before Pete was building John a brand-new truck from the ground up, only the finished product wouldn't end up as a workhorse.
For the most part, Pete was the mastermind behind the F-100, although John did play a key role in determining the look and style of the ride, so he pretty much ran free and built John a solid truck. Top End started on the chassis. First they stripped the frame down and boxed it in. Then the straight-axle was yanked and a Total Cost Involved IFS frontend was grafted to the frame. Included in the front end are airbags and disc brakes for the ultimate in cruising comfort and stance. For the running gear, a '95 Mustang GT rearend was installed. Along with the rearend, the motor is also from a '95 Mustang Cobra, as well as the '95 AODE four-speed automatic tranny with a Baumann standalone computer. Plain, simple, and all-Ford is the way to describe the '54's underpinnings.
With the foundation finished up, it was time to get started on the body. John wanted the truck to retain the look of a '54 Ford, yet between Pete and John, they both decided it needed a few subtle mods. Top End started off by removing any obtrusive items that didn't serve a vital purpose, such as the side mirrors, locks, vents, gas filler door, and more. Next, they modified the tailgate, customized the running boards, and welded up the seams. Instead of using the stock bumper or shaving the bumpers, they came across a set of mid-'60s Bronco bumpers that fit perfectly.
When it came time to pick the color, it arrived in an even stranger way than the truck's beginning. John had a bright green golf club and said, "This is the color I want." Pete took the club to the paint store and tried finding a match, yet in the meantime John happened to run across a Saturn color that was close to the club. However, Pete felt the Saturn color was much too gold, so he played around with it, and what ultimately came from the whole scenario is the bright PPG custom green the Ford wears. Lastly, they threw on some Boyd Coddington 17- and 18-inch wheels, and it was off to upholstery.
Bob Weddington in Lincoln is responsible for the custom Sea Oyster and Light Sand-colored concoction. Along with the custom-stitched interior is an ididit steering column topped with a Billet Specialties steering wheel. Whether or not the truck is now serving its original intentions is beside the point, because now this Ford is one lean, mean, green machine.

…I would hate to see if there was, because I am reading a whole bunch of stories like this
Via Fox News:
Residents of a senior adult apartment complex in California staged a protest after the management of their building announced a ban on Christmas trees and menorahs in communal areas.
"We're all angry," resident Fern Scheel told the Los Angeles Daily News. "We want that tree. Where's our freedom? This is ridiculous."
JB Partners Group sent a memorandum to The Willows in Newhall, Calif. ordering them to remove the Christmas tree from the community room because they deemed it a religious symbol, the newspaper reported.
Odd isn't it? On one hand we often hear Atheists mock Christmas by saying that Christmas trees are from a pagan origin, yet, they just as often seek to remove them because they are symbols of Christmas. How convenient. Also odd is that groups like the one behind this bit of madness will seemingly offend everyone so as to not offend some whiny screwball, who MIGHT get offended!
The truth is that those who scream bloody murder when they see a Christmas tree, or Santa, or a manger scene, or the colors red and green, or hear that kids might be shown A Charlie Brown Christmas are backasswards, intolerant, malcontents who think they are entitled to make everyone else bow to their ways. And those that give in to them are cowards and fools.

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsFeatured Vehicles
My Muscle Stang - December 2013
David Mann • Bonney Lake, WA
Want your ride in the spotlight? Send submissions to My Muscle Stang, Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords, 9036 Brittany Way, Tampa, FL 33619, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
My car is an 1989 LX 5.0 five-speed Mustang that I bought a few years back. It was in pretty rough shape for $1,500 with 173,000 miles on it. I believe I am the fifth owner, and it now has 181,000 miles. When I purchased it, the driver-side quarter panel had been damaged. It also had several broken lenses and no exhaust from the catalytic converters back, but it was still clean overall and ran excellent.
With some investigative work, I tracked down the third owner, Karl, who owned it for 9 years, and coincidently lives about 15 miles from me. Rumor has it my Fox's original owner was a local celebrity. Karl told me, in his 9 years of owning the Mustang, he babied it like I do today. There wasn't a scratch on it when he parted with it. He had installed 16-inch, polished Cobra R wheels; welded-in subframe connectors; and upgraded the rearend with 31-spline axles, a 3.73 gear set, and an Eaton Traction Lok. He also installed lowering springs, caster/camber plates, and Hotchkis adjustable shocks.
Unfortunately, it seems like the next two owners after Karl didn't take the same pride that I do when it comes to owning a Mustang. I bought it and immediately started with the detailing. I had the quarter panel repaired, and my dad, Bob, buffed and polished the rest of the car and it began to take shape. I bought a staggered set of 17-inch chrome Cobra R wheels, wrapped in new Toyo tires. I wanted a lower stance, so I purchased and installed a set of Eibach Sportline springs. The car still had no exhaust, and with an emissions test approaching, I bought a Flowmaster American Thunder after-cat.
Turning my attention to the interior, I bought a pair of Corbeau GTS seats, a Momo Tuner steering wheel with red stitching, an Autometer dual A-pillar gauge pod and Cobalt gauges, a Ford Racing leather/brushed-aluminum shift knob, and new floor mats. Outside, I had a Boss cowl hood color-matched, along with some other frontend paint work done by my buddy Jason, who runs a local automotive body shop.
I can proudly say I'm happy with how the car sits today after all of my hard work. Future plans include a Kenny Brown rollcage, a Florida 5.0 gauge cluster with Auto Meter Cobalt gauges, a Tremec six-speed transmission, and a 347ci stroker engine. I also plan to have a complete new paint job (same stock color), with the engine bay smoothed out.
This 5.0L is a blast to drive and turns some heads every now and then. I may have other muscle cars come and go, but this one is here to stay.

George Springer added to his steals total when the Astros prospect singled in the fifth inning off top Brewers prospect Jimmy Nelson and stole second for his 43rd stolen base of the season against Nashville. Read More »
Aug. 24: Stolen Base No. 42
Aug. 23: Homer No. 37
Aug. 22: Stolen Base No. 40
Aug. 20: Homer No. 36; Stolen Base No. 39
By any measure, George Springer had a pretty good game on Tuesday night.
He slugged his Minor League-leading 36th homer to score his 100th run of the season in the first inning, then delivered a walk-off single in the ninth to give Oklahoma City a 6-5 victory over Albuquerque.
"It was a good game," Springer said, "a good comeback for us."
It also was the RedHawks' 17th straight home win.
"It's fun. The team goes out and makes good pitches and we're making timely hits," Springer said. "We have the confidence to win, even if it comes down to the last at-bat." Read More »
Aug. 18: Homer No. 35
Aug. 17: Homer No. 34
Aug. 15: Homer No. 33
The Houston Astros own two of baseball's best power prospects in first baseman Jonathan Singleton and center fielder George Springer. On Thursday for Triple-A Oklahoma City, the pair put that ability on full display.
Springer went yard in the eighth inning, and one out later, Singleton followed suit to put the finishing touches on the RedHawks' 8-2 win over the Tucson Padres.
The 23-year-old Springer, taken with the 11th overall pick in the 2011 Draft, finished 2-for-3 with three RBIs, two walks and a run scored. Read More »
Below you'll find select highlights, recaps and features from Springer's remarkable season.
Aug. 9: Homer No. 30; Stolen Base No. 38
George Springer joined a very elite group on Friday night.
The Astros' No. 3 prospect slugged a two-run homer to reach the 30-30 mark and lead Triple-A Oklahoma City to a 6-3 triumph over Las Vegas at Cashman Field.
Springer already had 37 stolen bases when he came to the plate with one out and a runner at first base in the fifth inning. He sent an 0-1 pitch from 51s starter Matthew Fox over the wall in left-center field for his 30th longball of the season.
"It was just something I could hit early in the count and there was a guy on first and I was trying to drive the ball somewhere and ended up getting a pitch I could handle," Springer said.
"I've been starting to press a little. [The 30th homer is] in the back of your mind as a hitter and now it's something that I'm proud of, but I've still got 20-something games to go and have to help the team win." Read More »
Aug. 1: Stolen Base No. 36
July 27: Home Run (inside-the-park) No. 28
July 22: Stolen Base No. 25
July 10: Home Run No. 26
July 9: Home Runs Nos. 24, 25
George Springer grew up watching Manny Ramirez. On Tuesday night, he put on a show for him.
The Astros' No. 3 prospect homered twice, tripled and tied a career high with five RBIs in his first four-hit game of the season, but Triple-A Oklahoma City dropped an 11-8 decision at Round Rock.
Springer's second two-homer game in four days came against the Express, for whom Ramirez hit his first longball since joining the team on Sunday.
"I grew up watching him when he was with the Sox, being in that area," said Springer, a New Britain, Conn., native who attended the University of Connecticut. "It's one of those things that as a player you can't describe -- to play against a guy who's had so much success, a guy you watched as a kid, and now you're playing on the same field." Read More »
June 25: Two All-Star home runs
George Springer, the Astros' No. 3 prospect, was named the Texas League All-Star MVP after he homered twice and drove in three runs in the South Division's 6-0 win.
"A kid like him, you've got to be on your game when you face him," Frisco's Neil Ramirez said. "I think at times it elevates your game, too."
"To be honest, I'm pretty sick of seeing him against us. It was nice to be on the same side with him," Frisco skipper Buechele added. Read More »
June 23: Springer gets promoted
The Houston Astros announced Sunday night that right-handed pitcher Jake Buchanan and outfielder George Springer will be promoted to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Springer and Buchanan will join the RedHawks after participating in the Texas League All-Star Game Tuesday at Northwest Arkansas.
"It was good that he came here last year and saw the challenge ahead of him and he still has a long way to go, although he's had a very, very productive first half," Hooks manager Keith Bodie said. "Obviously when you have a guy like that in your lineup he contributes a lot." Read More »
Feature: Springer still scorching
Corpus Christi's George Springer is not one to complain about the searing temperatures he's experienced in the Texas League. Why should he? The way things are going, he may never want to cool off again.
The No. 3 prospect in the Astros system charged into the season with a hot bat that has lifted him to the top of the hitting charts. He leads the Minors with 18 home runs and is first in the Texas League with 50 RBIs, 35 extra-base hits, a .633 slugging percentage, 50 runs scored and 138 total bases.
"You just have to stay short and -- I know this going to sound dumb -- stay really simple," the right-handed Springer said of his power to all fields. "Hit the ball wherever it presents itself." Read More »
June 2: Home Run No. 17
It just illustrates the kind of season George Springer is having when, in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader, he matched his season high of five RBIs -- in the first inning.
Considered a five-tool athlete coming into the Draft in 2011, Springer appears to be consolidating those tools in the Double-A Texas League.
On Sunday, the center fielder went 3-for-5 with a home run and a double that yielded five RBIs in Corpus Christi's 10-run first, and he scored three times as the Hooks went on to edge the Arkansas Travelers, 13-9.
Combined with his performance in his team's 5-3 win in 10 innings in twinbill opener, Springer finished 4-for-7 with six RBIs on the day.
"I'm not in that position if not for the at-bats of my teammates who were on base," Springer said of his first-inning exploits in Game 2. "It's one of those things where I'm just happy to help us win. Obviously that was a big first inning for us, scoring 10 runs. Read More »
May 27: Home Runs Nos. 14, 15
The Major League team might be in the American League West cellar, but the future looks bright for Astros fans willing to stick around for a couple of seasons.
After watching a pair of the team's top prospects put on a hitting clinic for Double-A Corpus Christi Monday, that's certainly the way Hooks manager Keith Bodie sees it.
"It's an exciting thing to look in the crystal ball for the Houston Astros right now and see the guys on the horizon," he said after the team's 14-4 win over Arkansas.
Center fielder George Springer hit a pair of home runs and drove in five runs and right fielder Domingo Santana homered and scratched out four hits in the win. Read More »
May 19: Stolen Bases 11, 12, 13, 14
George Springer went 0-for-3 on Sunday, but he still put on an offensive show in Corpus Christi's 5-3 win over Midland.
The Astros' No. 3 prospect walked twice and stole four bases to tie the club record set by Jonathan Villar last June 9. Read More »
May 11: Home Run No. 12
George Springer has been slowing down his game and quickening the pulse of Texas League pitchers.
The Astros' No. 3 prospect hit his Minor League-leading 12th homer of the season and finished a triple shy of the cycle Saturday night as Double-A Corpus Christi rolled past visiting Frisco, 9-3.
After flying out in his first at-bat, Springer smacked an RBI double and scored in the third inning. He singled in the fourth and led off the seventh with a solo shot, capping his third three-hit night of the season.
"It was a line drive and it was one of those ones where I was looking for a good pitch to drive in a good count," Springer said of his homer. "It was one of those ones where you hit it and it happened to go out of the park." Read More »
May 6: Home Run No. 11
Springer, the Astros' top outfield prospect, finally broke the scoreless tie with his Minor League-leading 11th home run in the eighth inning, a two-run drive to left off Matt Stites (1-1). Domingo Santana followed with his fourth homer in the next at-bat to make it a three-run cushion.
"I heard it," Foltynewicz said of Springer's blast. "I think it hit off the top of the light post and came straight down." Read More »
April 23: Home Runs Nos. 6 and 7
For a prospect with a fast bat and faster legs, all George Springer wanted to do this year was slow things down.
Seventeen games into his first full season at Double-A Corpus Christi, Springer has the game moving at exactly the pace he wants.
The Astros' No. 3 prospect belted a pair of home runs and added a stolen base Tuesday as the Hooks edged the Midland RockHounds, 7-6.
The three-RBI, 3-for-4 performance raised his batting average to .299 and his OPS to 1.054. The homers give him a Texas League-leading six, while the steal was his fourth. Read More »
April 6: Home Run No. 2
Offseason Q&A with George Springer
MiLB.com: You've talked a little about knowing what kind of player you are. What kind do you see yourself as right now?
Springer: In my own mind, I'm a guy that's going to compete for you every day. It doesn't matter if we're up nine or down nine, I'm going to play hard and do all I can to be a good teammate. ... If I go 3-for-3 but we lose, I'm going to be upset. But if I'm 0-for-3 and we win, I guarantee you I'll be happy. Read More »

This might be of some interest to Jim Carrey Fans:
Up for sale is a 1976 Silver Streak Supreme Luxury Liner 30'. It was built for Andy Kaufman and later used by Jim Carrey during filming of the movie, Man on the Moon (about Andy Kaufman). I purchased it in Branson, MO in the fall of 2006, then moved it to St. Petersburg FL where it is parked today. Though it is in good condition for a vintage trailer, some things need repair or replacement. This would include the toilet (needs flap seal and new water connection), left wheel well damage ('as is' from when I purchased, sheet metal work needed), right rear fender damage (slight and fixable), furnace (functioned for a year, might need thermocouple), and carpets. I have replaced several water lines (trailer spent winter in Branson before I purchased, frozen water in lines), replaced all tires on the way from Branson, reattached shelves and cabinet doors, fabricated panel for door (screen/solid door assembly missing when I purchased), and replaced fittings on LP tanks. The A/C works. The stove, oven, and fridge work. Hot Water Heater, Sinks, and Shower work.
Here is a link to internet info from 2001: http://www.jimcarreyonline.com/recent/news.php?id=354
I will be placing this Silver Streak Trailer up for auction on ebay in a week or two. Please contact me if you are interested. I would be happy to answer your questions to the best of my ability. I have many more pictures, documentation, etc...

It's almost time to upgrade your Mac to OS X Mavericks — and if you're going to opt for a clean install, that means it's time to reinstall many of your older apps. There's also brand-new versions of VMware Fusion and Parallels that came out recently, and special deals from Adobe on Creative Cloud upgrades. That means you need all of your old software keys. But what if you've thrown away your disks, deleted old purchase emails, and lost your paper records?
That's where Mac Product Key Finder comes in. It'll scan your Mac for over 180 supported programs and recover your keys automatically. You can then copy the key to use wherever you need — to activate software on a new Mac, or to purchase an upgrade at upgrade pricing. Or, you can export a whole list of your product keys for your records, so you won't have to go searching again next time.
The pro version of Mac Product Key Finder goes even further. In addition to uncovering your old keys on your Mac, it'll let you scan your external drives, Time Machine backups, and networked Macs for product keys so you can inventory every key you own even if you're not currently using them.

Go download a copy of Mac Product Key Finder this week, and rediscover the keys you've lost. You can try out the free version if you only need to look for the basic supported apps, or get the pro version with all its features for on sale for 20% off this week with our exclusive coupon code APP20STORM which makes it just $19.96!

Ballard dominates on the mound for McMahon in win over Bunnell
NORWALK -- McMahon and Bunnell opened their baseball seasons playing in the same brisk temperatures on Wednesday, but only the Senators managed to warm up their bats.
McMahon pitcher Mark Ballard was dominant on the mound, surrendering three hits and no walks over six innings, while the Senators touched up Bunnell starter Ron Rossomando for two runs in the first inning and added steadily to their lead, winning handily 8-0.
"The kid threw strikes all day," Bunnell coach Scott Szturma said of Ballard, a senior. "I think we left our bats on the bus. You're not going to beat anybody if you don't hit the ball."
Ballard wasn't missing many bats -- he had just three strikeouts -- but he kept the Bulldogs off balance all afternoon by adroitly changing speeds.

"My slider and my curveball were working really well. I was hitting my spots," Ballard said. "I knew they were out in front of my pitches, so if I changed speeds and hit my spots I knew I would be OK."
The Senators had much more success against Rossomando, a sophomore who also pitched varsity last year.
Andrew Seiden led off the first inning by drawing a walk. He stole second and two batters later scored on a triple by Mike Giordano. Rossomando nearly stopped the bleeding by striking out Alex Valenzano, but Keegan Roberts made the score 2-0 by blooping a single over the head of Bunnell first baseman Bryan Castelot.
"I think that (hit) was really, really important, because their pitcher won eight of games as a freshman, and I'm sure he thought he was going to come in and do it again," McMahon coach John Cross said. "They never came back offensively, so I think that was very big."
Bunnell eked out its first hit in the second inning on an infield single by designated hitter Jeremy Proto, but he was stranded when Nicholas Giammattei grounded out to short.
The Bulldogs' best opportunity to score came in the top of third. With two outs, Cam Belliveau singled to right. Matt Nolting followed with a groundball to McMahon third baseman Alex Scallion, who decided to forego the short throw to second base for the force out and instead threw wildly over the head of Roberts at first. Bunnell now had runners at second and third, but Ballard thwarted the threat by striking out Justin Lasko.
"Fantastic," Cross said of Ballard's outing. "To come out in this cold weather, get ahead of hitters. He had good rhythm, threw strikes, didn't have any walks. And when we did have that one error in that one inning, when it was second and third, he struck the guy out, so I was very pleased. He's a senior and he's stepping up and doing his job."
McMahon doubled their lead in the bottom of the third inning, again scoring with two outs. Ballard opened the inning by drawing a walk and then stole second. After Giordano struck out and Valenzano popped up to first base, Roberts came through again by singling to right and plating Ballard. Roberts advanced to second on the throw home and then to third on a passed ball. He scored when Paul Salata singled to right field.
"We had a lot of good at-bats with two outs and two strikes," Cross said. "We had most of our runs scored with two outs, so I was very pleased with our batters' approaches."
The Senators added a run in the fifth inning and then blew the game wide open with three runs in the sixth.
Ballard pitched great, but many different arms and bats contributed to the victory, Cross said.
"It was a total team effort," Cross said. "It's only one game, but it's really promising."

Jeanmar Gomez and three Cleveland relievers combined to beat the Texas Rangers 4-3 and the Indians snapped a six-game losing streak Saturday night.
The win was Cleveland's sixth in 34 games since July 27.
Texas entered with a four-game lead in the AL West over Oakland and lost for just the fifth time in 16 games.
Gomez worked 5 2-3 innings. Joe Smith, Esmil Rogers and Vinnie Pestano finished. Pestano allowed two hits over 1 1-3 innings for his first save.
Pestano has been Chris Perez's setup man for two years, but Cleveland's All-Star closer never warmed up.
Cleveland scored four runs in the first inning off Scott Feldman (6-11). The Indians are 42-24 when scoring four or more runs.
