THE number of TAFE courses available to students through the state's admissions centre has dropped markedly, according to figures from first-round offers.
An analysis of Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre figures showed at least 170 fewer TAFE courses were available this year.
However, first-round offers through the admissions centre make up a small proportion of students applying to study at TAFE.
Most people apply directly to the TAFE institutes where they want to study.
But Holmesglen chief executive Bruce Mackenzie said the decrease in courses through the centre suggested TAFEs were "rationalising" after the government cut almost $300 million from the sector last year.
Many TAFE institutes revealed last year that they would withdraw from a range of courses.
The centre's figures also revealed a 2364 drop in applications for TAFE courses this year, a 25.8 per cent decrease from 2012.
"February and March will be the time when institutes will need to look at what their financial projections were," Mr Mackenzie said.
"We think the courses we put up will reflect what student demand will be."
He said some TAFE institutes could increase the number of courses if private institutes left the sector because of decreased government funding.
Mr Mackenzie said about 20 per cent of Holmesglen's courses were offered through the admissions centre, including diplomas and undergraduate degrees. But qualifications such as apprenticeships were not available to applicants through the centre.
According to government figures, 320,000 students were enrolled in TAFEs last year, but the centre managed only about 10,000 applications.
A spokesman for Higher Education and Skills Minister Peter Hall said TAFE institutes might be choosing to handle a greater proportion of their courses directly rather than receive students through the centre.
"A more complete picture of training uptake in 2013 at TAFE institutes will not be available until later in the year," he said.
The spokesman said the centre's data on offers did not provide an accurate basis to assess demand for vocational courses.
He said the government was investing $1.2 billion a year on training. "We want taxpayers' money to be directed to those courses that teach skills most needed by employers."
Hospitality, business administration and events management were among the courses hardest hit by cuts in government subsidies, according to the Victorian TAFE Association.

METRO VANCOUVER - As TransLink postpones a planned expansion of transit projects in Metro Vancouver because of funding woes, cities along the Canada Line are reaping the rewards of multibillion-dollar developments.
Richmond, for example, is being transformed into an international gateway for Asia-Pacific, thanks to $4-billion worth of projects sparked in part because of increased land values and investments along the 19-kilometre corridor between Vancouver and the airport.
Other cities, from Surrey to Burnaby to Vancouver, have been benefiting for as long as 25 years from development along the Expo and Millennium lines.
For years, provincial and regional governments have recommended the regional transportation system share in this windfall through the creation of special tax zones near transit stations in recognition of the value attached to being close to rail service.
But for various reasons —including municipalities' reluctance to share development fees — this potential revenue source has never been tapped.
TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis said TransLink is exploring the option of levying "an area-benefiting tax" — a differential tax on home or property owners who would see a substantial lift in their land values because of transit improvements — as a way to generate funding for capital projects.
The idea has often been floated by regional mayors and was also recently suggested by the province as a way to "capture value" along the transit lines.
"It's pretty clear that as new lines are put in place, the values around them increase substantially," Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom said.
"We think there's opportunity for TransLink to capture some of these values ... as we look to the future there's a great deal of new capital that has to come in the next few decades. That could be part of the long-term funding solution without question."
But Jarvis said such a concept would have "trade-offs."
He noted that it would require a circle to be drawn around an area expected to benefit from transit, and the difficulty is where to draw the line to ensure it's not a disincentive to development.
This is part of the reason, he said, that TransLink hasn't pursued the idea before now, but has instead focused on selling land near transit stations, such as property at Vancouver's 25th and Cambie along the Canada Line, to bring in revenue.
Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said there's proof in Metro Vancouver that it's possible to leverage money out of proximity to transit.
Richmond, for instance, has struck a deal with Capstan Village developers to contribute toward building a new Capstan station on the Canada Line.
A similar deal occurred at Surrey's Gateway station on the Expo Line. And Coquitlam is working with developers to create a Lincoln station on the Evergreen Line.
Stewart said such examples show "there's money on the table."
"It's not that creative; the world already does it," he said.
Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said that while TransLink could go ahead with an area-benefit tax, it would be controversial and not straightforward.
"While it's possible and it's on the list as a specific funding option, I've never known it to be viable," he said. "The problem is you can't do that in the short run and we need that money now."
TransLink on Tuesday announced it will postpone its scheduled transit expansion plans, including a B-Line bus service along King George Boulevard and a rapid bus on Highway 1 over the Port Mann Bridge, until it can find alternative funding sources to pay for them.
Jarvis said the decision was made after the mayors' council on regional transportation announced that it would not increase property taxes next year for the planned transit services. A temporary property tax had been promised in TransLink's supplementary funding plan as a backup plan for 2013-14 to generate $30 million annually if the province and mayors couldn't come up with alternative funding sources.
But the mayors last week voted to scrap the temporary property tax after the provincial government rejected its proposed revenue sources, which included a vehicle levy and regional carbon tax. The province instead said it would look for cost-saving measures within the organization.
TransLink's decision doesn't affect the Evergreen Line, which is covered by a two-cents-a-litre gas tax increase that came into effect on April 1, or new bus service between White Rock and Langley because those projects have already been started.
But it will delay plans for the rapid bus along Highway 1 over the Port Mann Bridge, which will link Langley with the Lougheed SkyTrain Station, as well as the King George B-Line and plans to increase service on SeaBus by 15 minutes on evenings and weekends, Jarvis said.
Upgrades for several SkyTrain stations, including Main Street, Surrey Central and Metrotown, as well as Lonsdale Quay, to provide more capacity and to install faregates as part of TransLink's $171-million faregate system, are also affected.
Jarvis noted two stations — Metrotown and Main Street — won't have faregates when the program starts next year because they require significant upgrades and there's no money available.
The stations, which Jarvis said were never intended to have faregates when the program started but would be upgraded when the money is available, will, however, have readers for the Compass cards, which can be used to access all transit services including buses, SkyTrain, West Coast Express and SeaBus.
Plans to design a new Pattullo Bridge won't be affected because it's already included in the base plan. But Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said the move will still have a significant effect on Surrey and other communities south of the Fraser, which are expected to welcome 70 per cent of the region's growth in the next 30 years, and renewed calls for a sustainable funding model.
North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton, chairman of the mayors' council, agreed that until a new funding source is found, "we're in a holding pattern."
He said the mayors' decision to withhold the property tax was not a "statement [those services south of the Fraser] are not important or not needed ... but TransLink and local governments have to live within their means."
Lekstrom said while there are some "difficult decisions" ahead, he's optimistic a solution can be found, noting that a provincial audit is expected to find some $30 million in cost savings in the transportation authority. The audit, which is to be conducted in the next few months, follows an independent review by TransLink commissioner Martin Crilly, who rejected a 12.5-per-cent fare increase and also challenged TransLink to find $20 million in cost savings.
"We've got to get through this audit and see what can be found there," Lekstrom said, noting that if the cost savings can't be found, he will sit down with the mayors' council to come up with other funding sources.
Jarvis said TransLink welcomes the provincial audit and is already addressing some of Crilly's recommendations. But he said the transportation authority has already been aggressive in cost-cutting and there will be trade-offs in balancing the need for service with the funding situation.
TransLink is also developing new targets for efficiency, officials said, which include reducing bus service in areas where demand isn't high and using taxis to supplement the HandyDart system. Jarvis said TransLink is looking at smaller buses or vans for HandyDart, but "we're not prepared to compromise service to those people."
He said it's imperative the province and the mayors come up with alternative sources of funding for the future. "To simply rely on the prospect of potential cost savings in the future is not fiscally sound."
However, Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the problem lies with TransLink. He said the transportation authority hasn't been able to cash in along SkyTrain lines because it didn't negotiate development there at the beginning but instead sold the land. He noted the Millennium Line was built ahead of a provincial election, while the Canada Line was rushed through for the 2010 Olympic Games.
"The land was sold as quickly as they could get it out of their fingers," he said.

We are the source of marine components for modelers of dioramas, model train layouts, and those who build and display fine boat models. If your looking for the finest craftsman scale model boat and building kits, you've come to the right place. Our boats and buildings will enhance your waterfront layout and help you to create the masterpiece you're looking for.
Our hand crafted model boat kits are freelance designs that incorporate features from prototype vessels. Very little, if any, model shipbuilding skills are required for our kits as they are not plank on frame construction, but rather, for the most part, solid hull construction. Our model boat kits include all parts and fittings necessary for assembly as shown in the photos unless noted otherwise. Detailed drawings, assembly and finishing instruction sheets are included in all model boat and structure kits. We primarily focus on model boat kits that are "working craft vessels" such as tugs, barges, fishing and lobster boats, rail, passenger & auto ferries, cargo, lighters, etc. The components of our model boat kits and structures are crafted from artist resins, laser cut wood, and detailed etched brass. Our highly detailed resin parts are hand molded from the highest quality artist resin that is tough, durable, paintable and easily machined. We promote "on line" or "phone" communications with our customers to discuss the kit construction and finishing. We welcome photos and descriptions for work in progress and finished boat models that will be displayed on our web site "Modeler's Gallery". Send photos sized at 1024 pixels maximum (width or length).
We provide model boat hulls, deck & pilot house structure kits for those who want to design and build their own model boats. Contact us for availability of your specific needs, as many of these products are not listed on the website and are not always immediately available.
Our highly detailed pewter, brass, and resin marine and model boat fittings, although specific in size and suggested scale noted, can often be used in larger or smaller scale projects, depending on the application. Many of our high quality fittings have been designed specifically for our model boat kits.
View our web site for already "built up" boat and structure models. E-mail or call us to make arrangements for pickup or shipping.
E-mail or call us to discuss other requirements you might have regarding restoration work and contract model building. You will talk requirements and pricing with the craftsman who will actually do the modeling or restoration.
Our prime objective is to provide the modeler with quality craftsman model boat and structure kits, detailed fittings, and accessories that give the modeler the option to either work from a kit, scratch build, or kit bash. Also to provide a model boat or structure completely built and finished to someone who simply does not have the time to model.
Contact me at: email@example.com
We offer our products directly to the modeler through our Web Site and Specific craftsman and model Shows.
Our products are recommended for ages 14 years and older.
All of our products are hand crafted in the United States
In addition to our model boat kits, fittings, and related marine waterfront items, we offer museum quality model boats and structures completely assembled and finished (Built Ups), either standing alone or in a diorama setting. We will build that model boat kit or structure kit you acquired but do not have time to build. If you have a full size boat and want a model of it built, talk to us!
We offer museum quality restoration services for all types of model boats, from simple pond models to highly detailed 4-masted schooners, square riggers, freighters, tugs, etc.
Our model boats, waterfront structures, dioramas, and restoration work are crafted by artists and professional modelers who have the required nautical knowledge, respect for the prototype and the eye for quality and detail. Our hand molding of resin and centrifugal molding of pewter is not a craft but an art as we continue to meet exacting technical standards.

A Philadelphia man attempted a daring rescue while a fire raged in a high-rise building. The man, who has not been identified, rushed to the burning building to check on members of his family who lived there.
He was told his mother was still upstairs in her 15th-floor apartment, but he was denied access to the building to help her. The man decided to take matters into his own hands and sneaked around to the side of the high-rise.
Channeling his inner Spider-Man, he started scaling the balconies, trying to reach the 15th floor. When he got there, he realized that he couldn't get over the fenced terrace and had to climb back down.
He was captured on video making his way back down to the bottom floor, where authorities helped him to the ground. He was told that his mother had been evacuated from her apartment and that she was safe.
Authorities told WPVI that they have a list of elderly residents in the building and that the Philadelphia Housing Authority conducts monthly fire drills at the building.
Residents told the news station that the drills did not prepare them for the chaos of an actual fire.
"It was so much smoke. I couldn't even breathe or nothing. So I just knew to go on the porch. Everybody was yelling, 'what floor is it on? Come out!' And I was like, 'no, we can't go out' because we wouldn't have made it," Marcella Harris, who lives on the 11th floor said.
Officials say the fire began in a trash compactor and the smoke spread through the garbage chute.

At LAX, when we were leaving for Paris, my boyfriend Gregg saw the TSA letting airport workers through the metal detector ungroped and unscanned. "What happened was, I was next to the 'toaster oven' and the mag detector, and four people were let through the mag detector," Gregg, who was selected for the scanning/government-inflicted ball-grope, told me.
Gregg said to the TSA guy, "Why do they get to go through there?" (Meaning, they didn't have to go through the scanner or get groped; they just got to go through the metal detector.)
The TSA guy said to Gregg, "Because they work here."
Right. And the low-wage worker serving your fries could never be bribed to smuggle something into the airport.
Of course, as somebody pointed out in my blog comments, terrorists are not attacking malls or buses, and that isn't because everybody going into the mall bends over so a mall cop can see they don't have a bomb up their booty.
It is possible somebody will blow up a plane at some point — or blow up the sheeple standing in line waiting to politely give up their Fourth Amendment right not to be searched without reasonable suspicion they've committed or about to commit a crime.
It is likely, if we give over our rights for "security," that we will neither have security nor rights before long.

It's one thing when you're introduced by someone else (and I recommend you take charge of that situation here). But what if you have to introduce yourself?
This isn't as rare as it may seem. In many of my professional organizations, time is set aside for a round-robin of self introductions, as in "Let's each introduce ourselves briefly to the group before our speaker begins." In this case, audience members are introducing themselves. If you're the main speaker, you may need to fill in if the moderator, host or organizer is out of the room or otherwise absent. In many ways, I find it preferable to introduce myself, but it takes some finesse. Here's how to handle making yourself known to a group:
- Dial it down just enough: When someone else introduces you, it's fine for them to emphasize your big award or recent honorific. Just don't do it yourself, unless you do so obliquely. You'll score bigger points if you summarize your credentials succinctly and sparingly. If you know ahead of time that you'll be doing a self-introduction, make sure the audience has a printed bio--also short--or that you've supplied the group with a short standard bio to post online.
- Crowdsource your bio: For the brave and well-friended, ask your audience to help you. Pick three colleagues (ideally, prep them ahead of time) and ask them to say one reason the group should know you....or one thing they should know about you.
- Reflect your audience: Taking an informal show-of-hands poll of the audience is an excellent way to get your group's attention in many situations. If you start with a poll before you introduce yourself, you'll look confident--and can use what you glean from the respondents to share information about yourself, keying what you say about yourself to the group's mood and preferences.
And, as always, be brief and relevant. If you're speaking about an area where you have a particular experience, share it...briefly. Use your introduction to connect to your audience and they'll thank you for introducing yourself.

So I lied when I said today I'd throw in my two cents about hydration. I decided since it's deal Thursday I should be talking about my favorite part of running, the clothes and accessories!
First off, for me it's the most important that I love wearing what I run in. I probably have 10 pairs of shorts but I usually flip back and forth in between 3 or 4 pairs. Some of the other pairs are just weird and I just can't run in them. Same goes for shirts. I have a ton of old race shirts and 'old shirts' in general, but at the same time, I usually wear the same 3 or 4, with washing of course!
I used to think cotton was the fabric of my life, but alas, after the chafing post yesterday you've all come to realize that Dri-fit, once getting in to the higher mileage is the way to go. It's more expensive and especially for me it's hard to see myself paying $35-$60 for a shirt that I'm essentially going to sweat in and get disgusting and ruin. It saddens me from the bottom of my heart. So that is why I scour the racks at TJ Maxx, Marshalls and Nordstrom Rack for some good top quality running gear. If you've never checked out those stores 'active section' you definitely should.
Now, many of you have mentioned the fuel belt, and accessories for running. Well my fuel belt, though I feel like a goof ball when I wear it, is SO necessary when you hit higher mileage. Your body needs to hydrate and you are loosing so much water. After one run I was so dehydrated and got so sick, I couldn't even function OR eat Taco Bell. You know it's bad when I turn down some TB. There are many different types of fuel belts, so just google it and you'll come up with a plethora of options
Then there's things like sweat bands, hats, and headbands. You can find a huge selection of running hats here, and here. I, on a rare occasion can wear a headband but most of the time they slide off. If anyone has any great suggestions, I would love to hear them but I think it's my odd shaped head. As for sweat bands, though it's sometimes a little intimidating to look like a 50 year old out running about, sweatbands are the most legit option for yours truly. Plus, they make me feel a little bit more hardcore.
George asked me for any options for running in the warmer weather. Honestly, I would just say to rock the hat, but make sure it's a running hat. They fit the head much different than a regular baseball hat and they are made of much different materials that help keep the sweat and sun out.
Also make sure you ALWAYS wear sunscreen when you run because you can get some gnarly tans/burns. Even if you don't think your face will get sun on a little 3 miler, it has the possibility. I actually use the Mission brand, This Product. It works amazing and DOESN'T sting at all. Most do sting once they drip into your eyes. I also have a problem with getting kissed by the sun a lot, and then the sun leaves me with fatty blisters on my lips. Not attractive, and I have permanent brown spots on my lips from some of the damage. Disgusting, but now I always get out my spf 50 and put it on my lips. It turns them a little white, but I'd much rather avoid sun blisters.
Get clothes you love, you are the one that will be working out in them. Make sure they are comfortable and make you feel good. Since I know my stomach isn't in any Shape Magazine Cover Shape, I don't really like to let it 'all hang out' by wearing crop tops, or many of the tanks I find are incredibly short, which is annoying. I usually try to find longer shirts and shorter shorts for some reason. It's just what I like to run in. Though sometimes I feel like when I wear my spandex shorts that I'm giving everyone a show, I have to remember that I'm running and basically no one around me is even paying attention to me.
There are many more running accessories like ipods, headphones and garmins, but those are all just must-haves, and the headphones that I LOVE and work SO well and stay in my ears are these Sony ones and of course, I have them in pink. They work great though and the music is much louder. I used to run with the apple headphones, but they constantly were slipping out of my ears and the music was so soft. Those headphones are only $10 at target and last forever, unless they fall out of your ear, get caught in a chain length fence and end up like this since they literally pulled you back on your run.

Tomorrow my countdown clock on my computer's desktop will read a single digit number until 'Full Marathon'. Wow. That is crazy. Whoever thought running 26.2 miles was a good idea? Well, I guess at one point I thought it was a good enough idea to even PAY to do it. Oh well, it will be super fun, and hey, they don't call it a race they call it a MARATHON… so therefore time doesn't matter! :)
On a random and unrelated to anything I've ever posted. Danica Patrick is racing in the Indy 500 this weekend. Holla to my namesake, go get 'em! Well she is obviously not my namesake since we are not far apart in age, but the girl I get compared to every time I say my name, wouldn't want it any other way!
Tomorrow I'll throw around what hydration has helped me in my training and maybe I'll even put in some pictures, it's foto FRIDAY after all!

It is hard to gain perspective in the heat of an election battle, particularly when the power of persuasion is driven not by the clarity of an ideological vision, but by the billions in political advertising dollars.
Perhaps that is why throughout this bitter and torturous presidential campaign, which began the moment President Barack Obama was elected in 2008, the battle has primarily been fought on economic grounds — one side arguing that the economy which tanked in 2008 was getting better, the other saying it was not, and both sides saying the government needs to reduce spending.
It is not hard to see why so many voters were swayed by the economic argument.
In addition to a persistently high unemployment rate, middle-class American families lost approximately 20 years of accumulated wealth, while the median American family lost almost 40 percent of their net worth between 2007 and 2010 according to a Federal Reserve survey.
And according to Bloomberg, 95 percent of the jobs lost during the recession were middle-class jobs.
In the closing moments of the campaign it was to this gloomy economic picture that Mr. Obama's Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, returned.
"Look beyond the speeches and the attacks and the ads. Look to the record, the accomplishments and failures and the judgment," Mr. Romney said.
"Words are cheap. A record is real and earned with effort. Change cannot be measured in speeches. It is measured in achievements … Four years ago, candidate Obama promised to do so very much, but he has fallen so very short … Obama promised change, but he could not deliver it."
The fact, however, is that despite congressional Republicans who fought hard against allowing him any legislative victories, Mr. Obama's first term accomplishments make him the most productive president in modern times.
His legislative victories are too many to mention here. I'll just list a few.
•Passed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay law, which requires employers to pay women the same as their male colleagues for doing the same work.
•Expanded the State Children's Health Insurance Program to cover health care for 4 million children.
•Rescued the American automotive industry.
•Passed the Universal Healthcare law, which will offer coverage to 32 million more Americans while reducing the deficit by an estimated $1.3 trillion over the next 20 years.
•Implemented sweeping financial industry reforms to curtail the high risk behaviors that contributed to the Wall Street meltdown, and the collapse of the housing industry.
•Signed legislation that gave the U.S. Food & Drug Administration the authority to regulate the manufacturing, marketing and sale of tobacco.
•Signed the legislative order that stopped the deportation of young immigrants who have lived in the U.S. for most of their lives, but were brought here illegally by their parents.
•Implemented new consumer protections from the credit card industry's predatory practices.
•Appointed the first Latina to the Supreme Court.
• Brought the U.S. in compliance with the Geneva Convention standards on torture.
•Ended the ban on gays serving openly in the U.S. military.
Unlike Mr. Romney, who only sees the bottom line of the economic ledger, President Obama understands that economics without a heart can create a more insidious form of unemployment — unemployment of the soul.
And perhaps now that the election is over, more of us will be able to fully appreciate what the president has accomplished these past four years.

Groton City mayor outlines sale of troubled cable business
Groton -With millions in annual losses leading to a downgraded bond rating and a massive capital investment needed, the impending sale of the city's cable and Internet business at a bargain price is an effort to "stop the bleeding," City Mayor Marian Galbraith said Monday night.
Galbraith addressed a crowd of nearly 100 people at the city municipal building Monday to explain why the sale of Thames Valley Communications for $150,000 to a private investment management firm is in the best interests of the city.
"I'm not trying to sell you that $150,000 is good money," Galbraith said. "It's not like we rejected a more lucrative offer. There is no better offer. I wish there was."
Launched in 2004 as a subsidiary of Groton Public Utilities, TVC has never made money. The company has been losing more than $2.5 million a year - a total of $10.66 million in loses from operating expenses between 2009 and 2012.
The annual expenses disappear with the sale, while Groton Utilities must still contend with the $28 million in debt used to start and expand the company into homes in Groton, Ledyard, Stonington, Voluntown and North Stonington.
The $150,000 offer for the company from CTP Investors LLC was the only offer for the company and the only option outside of liquidation, Galbraith said. Liquidation would have meant the end of the service and its employees, she said.
The sale, she said, will help to retain TVC's 23 employees and offer the best chance of success for the company to succeed. The new owners plan to continue service and invest in the company to keep it competitive and offer more services, she said.
City resident Jay Dempsey said he supported the sale of the company but questioned why residents were kept in the dark for so long.
"I don't think anybody had any idea we were losing $3 million a year," Dempsey said. "It is unfortunate that we are left with $28 million in debt for 14 years, but we will not be funding operating losses of another $2.5 million every year. I wish the new company owners well, and the remaining employees."
Groton Utilities Director Paul Yatcko said in 2009 the effort to double the TVC customer base ran headlong into a bad economy and a price war between competing cable companies Comcast and AT&T.
Galbraith said the attempt to sell the company started in 2011 when it became apparent too much was being lost and the cost of upgrading technology was out of reach. Groton had already decided in 2009 to stop borrowing money to fund the losses, which were then on absorbed by Groton Utilities.
The yearly cost of the debt for the next 14 years is approximately $2.5 million, according to Galbraith.
The new company will operate at the municipal building and start paying $34,000 in yearly rent starting in three years. The city has offered the first year rent free and the second year at half the cost.
City Finance Director Michael Hillsberg said the operating losses first became apparent to bond rating agencies because of new reporting requirements in 2008. Earlier this year, Moody's dropped the city bond rating from Aa2 to Aa3 with a "negative outlook," reflecting "the city's ongoing exposure to the risk of the Thames Valley Communication Inc."
Galbraith, in response to questions from the public, said there was no cover up of the losses.
"Did we shout it from the mountaintops, 'no,'" she said. "That would have undermined consumer confidence."
The City Council will vote on the sale Dec. 17.

*gets out tissues*
Okay, this page is the saddest. Happy sad is the worst! T.T;
Beautiful pages!
Wow, I love the detail, especially the small little smile his brother gives.
Simply beautiful. I love how you can tell they're brothers too, just by looking at them.
Good work (:
Amazing facial expressions. They really get the emotion across.
*tears up*
Absolutely beautiful, nothing else to say. This whole letter sequence has probably been one of the most awesome things I've ever seen in a webcomic (possibly published comics as well).
Wow. I gotta say this letter's been pretty emotional (though everyone else already said that like ten times.) Just look at the expressions on their faces. If that aint brotherly love, I don't know what is.
I love that grin :) I think this is the best part…
It is the lighting in the background that does it for me.
Likewise! So brotherly, and it makes me go "Awwwwwwww!"
everything i want to say has been said already, so…suffice it to say: ALMOST tearing up. almost. and that's as good as you're gonna get from me, as i hardly ever cry.
I love this letter. The art has been absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to see what Charlie's doing on the other side of the letter.
Beautiful, wonderful, thank you.
I teared up a little.
I've gotta say, you know how to work your smiles. Great work, this letter sequence is spectacular and you should be very proud of yourself and your ability.
can i just say that this is quite possibly one of the best stories i have read…even outside the realm of webcomics. the art is gorgeous and the writing is phenomenal! i especially love the ink blot you included on his signature. well done!
That last panel is so awesome!
I teared up at the end. So melancholy!
Well written!
Great ending to the best comic sequence ever!
This is my favorite bit in the comic… As I reached this page, "My Brother" from the Civil War started playing on my computer. Needless to say, waterworks have ensued.
Dang, Civil War musical. Forgot one word.
holy wow you are an amazing artist/ writer and this just proves it!
It's that wonderful, "aww who gives a shit" grin in the upper-right hand corner that really gets me every time I read this page. Fantastic work.
Just rereading the archives while Bridget's in France, and man, I'd forgotten this piece — totally made me cry today. You guys are great.
For some reason it didn't impact me as strongly as I thought it did until I read the guys name. Then it just got really real.

December 31, 1914: Municipal Journal article—Lake Pollution Increases Typhoid. Washington, D.C.-Pollution of the Great Lakes and tributary rivers is becoming a serious menace to health, according to the annual report of Surgeon General Rupert Blue, of the Public Health Service. He points out that about 16,000,000 passengers are carried each year over the Great Lakes, and that more than 1600 vessels use these waters. 'It becomes apparent, therefore,' Dr. Blue declares, 'that these inland vessels play an important role in the maintenance of the high typhoid fever rate in the United States.' Dr. Blue says that, although the prevalence of typhoid in this country is being reduced gradually, and that the rate is not more than one-half what it was thirty years ago, it is still higher than for some other advanced countries."
December 31, 1914: Municipal Journal article—Progress of Lowell Filtration Plant. "About 80 men are working all day and part of the night on the new boulevard filtration plant and the contractor hopes to have the job completed before August 1, 1915, the time limit, as the weather has been very good, but there have been a number of delays due to caving in of the sand banks. The filtration plant consists of six coke prefilters, 10 feet in depth and two-fifths of an acre in total area; a settling basin, divided into two unites, with a total capacity of 500,000 gallons; six sand filters, with a total area of one acre; and a filtered water reservoir of 1,000,000 gallons capacity….
At a rate of 75 million gallons per acre per day through the prefilters, and a 10 million gallon rate through the sand filters the areas provided are equal to a 10 million gallon daily output. Allowing for cleaning and for the possible desirability of a lower rate through the coke, the plant is believed to be ample for an average daily supply of 7,500,000 to 8,500,000 gallons…sufficient for the needs of the city until 1935."

The Washington Stealth's four-year stay in Everett is over.
The National Lacrosse League's Board of Governors on Thursday unanimously approved the franchise's relocation to Langley, British Columbia, for the 2014 season.
"When the franchise first moved to Washington, we saw it as a regional team," NLL commissioner George Daniel said. "We had hoped for more support from Seattle and other areas in the Puget Sound region. The crowds in Everett just didn't increase enough to make the franchise sustainable."
The Stealth notified Comcast Arena general manager Jeff Schumacher on Thursday morning of the decision to relocate. The team is required to let Schumacher know each July whether it will play another season in Everett.
The Stealth moved to Everett from San Jose, Calif., following the 2009 season. Although the team enjoyed considerable success on the field — appearing in three NLL title games and winning the Champion's Cup in 2010 — it struggled financially. Stealth president David Takata said the franchise consistently lost money in Everett.
"(Moving) is strictly financial," he said. "The team loses a lot of money every year. Growing at single-digit rates wasn't fast enough to recover the losses that are occurring on a yearly basis."
Discussions of a possible move began about two weeks after the 2013 season ended, Takata said. Talks with officials in Langley began in late May.
The Stealth eventually secured a "better financial agreement" with the 5,200-seat Langley Events Centre, Takata said. He declined to discuss specific details.
Comcast Arena could not match the agreement without losing money, Schumacher said. "We wish them the best," he added.
Despite considerable success on the field, the Stealth never cashed in at the box office. In their first season in the Northwest they won the NLL championship but drew a league-low 3,944 fans per game. This past season, they again ranked last in attendance at 4,184. The NLL average in 2013 was 9,662.
"In our four seasons in Washington the attendance numbers and sponsorship dollars remained virtually unchanged," Takata said in an e-mail to fans. "Ultimately, it was time for us to make a business decision to avoid losing the team altogether."
Stealth head coach Chris Hall expressed disappointment that the franchise didn't work out in Everett.
"The attendance just seemed flat and we just couldn't seem to find the magic potion that would kickstart us and get us to fill that rink," Hall said. "We loved playing there. … We loved the people and we loved the rink, but economically how long can you expect an owner to continue to lay out capital when the returns just aren't there."
The Stealth reached the NLL championship in May, but the game had to be moved because of a scheduling conflict at Comcast Arena. The Stealth looked into playing at KeyArena in Seattle or at the Showare Center in Kent, but both facilities were unavailable. The Stealth finally settled on the Langley Events Centre, located 80 miles north of Everett. Although the Stealth lost the championship game 11-10 to the Rochester Knighthawks, they came away impressed with the staff of the Langley facility.
"They put a ton of effort into (the championship) game with very little notice, so we knew that they ran a good operation," Takata said. "The ticket sales were very strong for that game for being done in just a week's time. I think it helped (the decision) in some respects. In terms of 'Was there any preconceived idea prior to that we would move to Langley?' The answer is 'No.'"
Stealth owner Denise Watkins thanked the team's Northwest fans in an e-mail sent out Thursday morning.
"I would really like to thank our loyal Washington fans for their support and commitment," she said. "I know that many of our fans have done their utmost to help us grow and bring new fans into the game. The loyalty and passion of our Season Ticket Holders is unquestioned by the players, coaches and staff of the Stealth organization. We considered a number of options and Langley gave us the best chance to move forward as a business while keeping the Stealth close to its impassioned fans in Washington."
Fans who put down deposits on 2014 season tickets will have the option of getting their money back or having those deposits "rolled up to Langley," Takata said.
The Vancouver area last had an NLL team in 2004. The Vancouver Ravens ceased operations in 2004 after three seasons.
The loss of the Stealth means Comcast Arena has an additional eight open dates on its 2014 calendar. Schumacher didn't sound worried about making up the revenue, suggesting that booking a couple of events should suffice. The arena now will have several Saturdays available for events in Everett.
Schumacher said he isn't interested in booking another sports team for Comcast unless he can find the right match.
"Right now, there aren't a lot of good options for minor-league teams," he said.

"Reviewed By Ray Simmons for Readers' Favorite
I don't go out of my way to read books about taking care of your parents in their old age. I have read a few books on the subject, but I found the majority just a little too depressing for me. I am fifty-eight years old. Both my parents are alive and healthy for their age. I want a book that helps me navigate the minefields of this situation. I want a book that is, first and foremost, written out of love. I am happy to say that On Angels' Wings is the book I was looking for. I can't praise it enough. It is beautifully written. It is informative, full of useful resources, practical tips, but most of all, it is written with love.
The thing that made On Angels' Wings a great book for me is the simple but beautiful description of the relationship between author Deborah Lynn and her mother. I love my mother and I want to do what's best for her if I must make decisions like those Deborah Lynn had to make. You can't get better characterization in a book than the relationship depicted in On Angels' Wings. As for scenarios, this one is taken straight from the reality for the baby boom generation today. I feel I am moving towards such a scenario myself. What brings it all together, what makes this a great book, is the writing and the editing. These are given a great boost by the beautiful artwork. This book is special. It is great, and it is so necessary for many of us in the same situation today."

Recovery efforts resume for bodies of Maine snowmobilers presumed
RANGELEY, Maine (AP) � Maine wardens are resuming recovery efforts for three men who are presumed to have accidentally driven their snowmobiles into open waters on Rangeley Lake nearly two months ago.
The Maine Warden Service is planning to use a remotely operated, underwater vehicle in the lake when the recovery effort resumes Wednesday. Divers will be on standby to respond if any of the bodies are detected.
The three men are believed to have ridden their machines into the lake water in late December on the same night a Yarmouth woman was killed when she accidentally rode her snowmobile into the lake.
Wardens had to put the search on hold in early January because of cold and the lake's open waters freezing over.

5 elegant ways to add warmth to your home
Written By Unknown on Tuesday, March 25, 2014 | 5:16 PM
Without that unique identity, that personal touch and the exclusive warmth that makes you feel that you belong here; it is really hard to call it your 'own'. Adding warmth to a place is not as difficult though as many make it out to be.
These simple steps will help you turn the stylish house into your comfortable home!
Add a fireplace to create a more ambient atmosphere
Instead of opting for the modern fireplaces that use plastic materials and a combustible gas for fuel, go traditional with your fireplace mantle. This gives the home a personal look and a timeless charm. A wooden fireplace mantle is a classic that turns out to be a winner on every occasion. But in case your home uses plenty of glass, then a stone mantle styled elegantly is also an excellent choice. This instantly adds warmth to your home in more than just one way, you know …
Pick vibrant colors, shades and textures
Instead of sticking to what is on offer go with the warmer shades like variations of red, orange and yellow. Also if you love the blue sky, the gentle green or even the cute pink, then go for it. Of course, make sure that this is a gentle transformation and not a glaring oddity. Then you can change the textures by choosing patterns that are bold, yet acceptable. This will add immensely to the coziness of your home and it will also give you an excellent opportunity to get creative.
Candles, books and green shrubs
A great book collection, wonderful arrangement of candles or an excellent sue of indoor potted plants and shrubs instantly makes the place a lot friendlier and warm. You can always improvise on this by adding stuff that you like, making your own collection of items and adding more life to the walls. Wicker baskets that hold stuff are also a favorite among people when it comes to creating an affectionate atmosphere.
Use of personal items, collectibles and photographs
There is obviously nothing that offers a home its unique flavor like personal items beautifully arranged. You still have those special photographs that share your great times with your guests? They do bring back some wonderful memories. Both items also tend to become great conversation pieces and if you happen to have a rare or exclusive collectible, then that only adds to the fun.
Lamps shades, curtains, velvet and wool
Rule of thumb: materials such as velvet and wool always help make your home a lot cozier and give it a very warm look. Using a retro-styled lamp shade, curtains made out of Felicia or Terracotta and you're only adding to the affect. Just mix and match them wisely with the existing interiors and they are sure to work their magic.
No matter how great your home looks, it is important to give it that snuggly and inviting look to ensure that both you and those who visit you once in a while are comfortable and do not feel out of place. It is not a difficult task and once you get started, you will find new ways of making the four walls around you become a natural extension of your thoughts, feelings and emotions!

It is important to research an attorney before hiring him or her. Be sure to evaluate an attorney's experience (types of cases handled, prior results obtained, etc.). Although prior results are not indicative of the likelihood of success in your case, they can help you make an informed decision.
Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

Photo Gallery | Topless Bakery Delivers Around NoVA and Beyond (Chill Out…It's Not What You Think)
Native Northern Virginian Elise understands that time can be a rare commodity. Because of this, she brought a high-quality baked goods delivery service to Northern Virginia in April 2010. Topless Bakery provides baked goods that are made-to-order and delivered fresh right to your door...for free!
Elise delivers her treats to corporate events and private parties, and she is especially busy baking and delivering during the holidays. Topless Bakery has been delivering baked goods to The Soundry in Vienna, Virginia since its opening.
"Baking for me has always been enjoyable, though it wasn't something that I had done much of in my younger years. When I would bake, it was almost always from scratch, dabbling with pies, tons of cookies, and other assorted treats," said Elise.
So why the racy name Topless Bakery?
"The idea for the name, Topless Bakery, came well before I even gave much thought to opening my own business. The cupcake boom was just beginning to gain momentum in the Northern Virginia area and I thought to myself, 'if I was making cupcakes, I wouldn't slather them in icing, I'd fill them up,' said Elise.
And that's just what she did. The Topless Bakery menu incorporates many traditional flavors with fresh fruit fillings and frosting on the inside…hence, topless! The company also adopted the tag line, "It's what's on the inside." All of the items, including topless cupcakes, topless teacakes, minis, naked cookies and whoopies, au natural muffins, coffee cakes, bars, and scones, are baked by Elise from scratch using all-natural and organic ingredients.
"Cupcakes, cakes, and muffins have a sassy appeal with fruit-filled centers or icings that complement rather than overpower the cake. Cookies, bars, scones, and coffee cake come alive with rich chocolates, spicy cinnamon, and sweet and salty combinations," added Elise.

After some searching, I get the impression this isn't supposed to work, but shouldn't I get some kind of error then?

Parents dead after gunfire at daughter's birthday party
by Jonathan Betz
January 20, 2013 WFAA
GRAPEVINE — An argument at a girl's 16th birthday party in Grapevine late Saturday night ended with the child's father shooting her mother and then killing himself, according to police.
Kelly Suckla, 43, shot his 44-year-old wife Kristi near the front door of her parents' home in the 3100 block of Creekview Drive just after 10 p.m. on Saturday.
Kelly Suckla then shot himself in the head a few moments later in the front yard.
Kristi Suckla died about 40 minutes later at Baylor Regional Medical Center at Grapevine.
"It's a quiet neighborhood, a family neighborhood," said neighbor Ruth Cramer. "We're just speechless."
Police say Suckla and his wife were estranged, but appeared to be friendly. Friends said Kristi moved into her parents' Grapevine home about two months ago, but investigators said Kelly was invited to his daughter's celebration.
"The family members were aware he was going to be there," said Sgt. Robert Eberling with the Grapevine Police Department. "So I think it pretty much took everybody by surprise."
Police said they're unsure what sparked the argument. Family members — including the couple's teenage daughter and 21-year-old son — were nearby, inside the house, when the gunfire erupted, but they did not witness the shooting.
Jeff Barr has lived next door to the Sucklas' home in Euless for more than 10 years. Just hours before the shooting, he chatted with Kelly Suckla about the party.
"He said they were just going to do a birthday thing for their daughter, and that was about it," Barr said. He occasionally visited with the Sucklas inside their home, and said they never gave any indication of problems with their marriage.
"They seemed normal — never thought anything was going wrong," Barr said. "Never gave me any reason to believe otherwise."
The number of domestic violence murders in North Texas has spiked recently. In Dallas alone, they more than doubled last year to 26, up from 10 the year before.
"It just seems like it's gotten more extreme," said Paige Flink, executive director of The Family Place, a Dallas shelter for battered women. She said not only are the number of domestic abuse cases rising, but so is the viciousness.
"In the past, what we would see is pushing, shoving, bruises... but not the use of knives and guns," she said. "It's extreme violence."
Flink worries the sluggish economy may be behind the spike in domestic abuse cases. "The majority of the victims have batterers who are unemployed," she said.
The violence even prompted Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings last week to urge the police department to step up efforts to catch known domestic violence abusers.
"We've got to dial it up to the next level," he said during a Monday news conference at City Hall.
Dallas officers are now prioritizing cases involving domestic abuse, after the department launched a special task force of 100 officers last month to serve arrest warrants.
Yet officers point out domestic violence crimes can be very difficult to predict or explain. That's why victims' advocates are pushing not only for stepped up enforcement, but also for women to feel more comfortable in seeking help.
"There really is no hurdle we can't help a woman overcome," said Flink, the shelter director. "If it's bad enough for you to be afraid, it's bad enough for you to come seek services."

editor's notebook SAN FRANCISCO--I had the good fortune this past weekend of attending Compostmodern, a two-day conference here devoted to exploring different ways in which designers can help create a sustainable future. And I'd like to mention a few of the tech- and Internet-related highlights--some of which are new, some of which you, like me, may have missed the first time around. There's a variety of supercool stuff here, so read on.
Organized by the San Francisco chapter of AIGA (one of the country's premier professional groups for designers) and sponsored by Adobe and other companies, the conference attracted designers and design thinkers of every stripe. Web designers, industrial designers, branding and communications specialists, architects, builders, educators--you name it, all were on hand to absorb and contribute.
The first day was devoted to a series of brief presentations by the likes of Scott Thomas, the guy who oversaw design for the Obama campaign; Julie Cordua, who helped Motorola launch the Razr phone and went on to work with the "(RED)" campaign, which piggybacks on global superbrands like Nike and The Gap to raise money for AIDS relief in Africa; and Yves Behar, designer of the One Laptop Per Child campaign's $100 laptop. The second day was billed as an "unconference," where presenters and attendees broke into groups and engaged in several rounds of brainstorming, on topics generated by the attendees themselves.
Following are some of the highlights from day one, along with links that allow for further exploration.
One tablet per child
Behar kicked off his talk by adapting something he'd heard bad-boy filmmaker John Waters say: The job of the young is to annoy the old. Behar's twist? The job of a designer is to annoy the rigid. The Switzerland-born, SF-based industrial designer then gave an overview of his work to date and talked about the importance of making sustainable design sexy and fun for mainstream consumers--and of creating innovative products that let people indulge their current lifestyle in sustainable ways. As an example, he offered up the all-electric Mission One motorcycle that his Fuseproject firm designed. Unveiled in 2009, it sacrifices nothing in the way of sex appeal or performance--it can reach speeds of 150 mph. Behar also talked about the One Laptop Per Child campaign's effort to develop a tablet computer.
"GoodGuide" goes Android
GoodGuide founder Dara O'Rourke talked about how he came up with the idea for his Web site, which lets consumers search on products they buy to see how healthy, safe and environmentally friendly those products are (or aren't). He was putting sunscreen on his toddler's face, he said, when he thought to investigate its ingredients. After far too difficult a search, he discovered that the product contained a carcinogen that was activated by, of all things, light. After working through his anger, he made it his mission to make such information easily available to consumers. The GoodGuide is already available as an iPhone app, which lets shoppers hold their phones up to barcodes for instant info (how awesome is that?). O'Rourke said an Android version is due in about a month.
Crowdsourcing the creative brain
Nathan Waterhouse of renowned design firm IDEO discussed OpenIDEO, a Web site that taps the crowdsourcing model to create a global brainstorming tool for designers eager to tackle issues of sustainability. Here's a sample "challenge" posted on the site: "How might we increase the availability of affordable learning tools & services for students in the developing world?" Winning concepts run the gamut, from the high-tech (a repurposed mobile phone loaded with a free educational software bundle) to the decidedly low-tech (a mobile puppet theater that teaches crafts and storytelling while highlighting social issues). Anyone interested in how technology might be used to fight global problems, and anyone who's simply interested in great, inspiring ideas, should take a peek at OpenIDEO. Here's a video that gives an overview of how the site works:
Introduction to OpenIDEO / OpenIDEO.com from IDEO on Vimeo.
Sharing the sustainable love
Lisa Gansky, who founded Flickr competitor Ofoto and later sold it to Kodak, talked about her recently released book "The Mesh: Why the Future of Business is Sharing" and gave a glimpse of the online Mesh Directory. The directory is a guide to companies and organizations that "create, share and use social media, wireless networks and data crunched from every available source to provide people with goods and services at the exact moment they need them, without the burden and expense of owning them outright." The idea is to help people buy less and use more. Companies/organizations included in the directory range from tool-lending libraries to car and bike sharing setups to home-swapping groups to online bartering services. There's also a section full of organizations devoted to developing socially conscious software applications. Does the site help promote Gansky's book? Sure. But, hey, it also points you toward online book swaps.
From homework to world-changing product
Debera Johnson, founder of the Design Incubator at Pratt Institute in New York, one of the country's top art and design schools, talked about the Incubator's genesis. Johnson got tired of seeing impressive student projects end up in the student's senior portfolio and then just simply disappear. The Incubator's mission is to help bring the best of those efforts into production in the real world. Johnson showed off some stunners, including Samuel Cabot Cochran and Teresita Brigitte Cochran's "solar ivy," small solar panels designed to be mounted vertically and that can, among other things, be shaped into letterforms to create lighted signage that generates enough electricity during the day to power itself at night.
The biggest round of applause went up for Dan Phillips and his Phoenix Commotion project, which provides housing for low-income families, using recycled materials as well as materials salvaged from the construction industry. Phillips truly enchanted the crowd with his down-home charisma and fascinating images. You can check out a TedTalk with him here, in which he reveals how to make architectural details out of chicken eggs and Bondo. Go, Dan!
If its goal was to inspire, Compostmodern did the job. I'm curious to see what sorts of sustainable gizmos and solutions all those pumped-up designer attendees produce in the coming years.

Allgaier Finishes 21st at Texas Nationwide Series Race
November 1, 2008
FORT WORTH, Texas (November 1, 2008) - Justin Allgaier, piloting the No. 12 Mobil 1 Dodge Charger, posted a 21st place finish in Saturday's O'Reilly Challenge race at the Texas Motor Speedway, his second NASCAR Nationwide Series start for Penske Racing.
Allgaier, who started in 13th place for the 200-lap event on the 1.5-mile speedway, scraped the wall on lap five, causing minor damage, not enough to pit. As the opening laps of the race unfolded, Allgaier began losing positions after reporting in that the Mobil 1 Dodge was tight all the way around the race track. By lap 11, he had slipped to 20th position.
Despite Allgaier's efforts to find a different line on the race track, he lost a lap to the leaders on lap 38. Allgaier came down pit road on lap 51 for four tires, fuel, and wedge adjustments hoping to "free" the race car. He restarted the race on lap 52 in the 29th position and advanced to 25th by lap 56.
Allgaier worked hard, but he reported to the Mobil 1 team that the car would fall off on the long run bringing back the tight-handling condition. By lap 95, Allgaier fell two laps down to the leader, despite his consistent lap times.
Caution fell on the Texas track on lap 113, and the No. 12 team brought Allgaier into the pits for more track bar and wedge adjustments. When the race restarted on lap 119, Allgaier was in 23rd, and once again had a fast short run. However, the Mobil 1 Dodge began getting tight, so the team came back down pit road under a subsequent caution to add spring rubbers to the right rear. After returning to the track in the 23rd position, Allgaier was able to advance to 21st place, but became "aero tight" when behind another race car.
Another caution period began, and Allgaier came down pit lane for the third time of the day to take on four Goodyear tires and more adjustments. Thanks to fast pit work, the No. 12 Mobil 1 team put Allgaier back on the track without losing any positions, restarting 21st on lap 184.
On lap 189, with just 11 laps left in the event, Allgaier, who was on the inside of another competitor, had the air taken off his car, sending him into a spin through the front stretch grass. Allgaier was able to make a quick recovery and held onto the car and the position, finishing the 200-lap race in the 21st position.
"We struggled with being tight all day," said Allgaier after the race concluded. "Texas is a tough track because the heat gives out the tires sooner than other tracks. We were able to adjust for the short runs but lost grip on the long runs and we became pretty aero tight around other cars.
"These guys on the No. 12 Mobil 1 Penske Racing Dodge worked so hard on this car and I am so thankful to have the opportunity to work with them. We'll go back to the shop and talk about it and see if we can't do something better in Phoenix next week."
Allgaier will be back in the No. 12 Penske Racing Dodge at the Phoenix International Raceway on Saturday, November 8, 2008 for the running of the Hefty Odor Block 200 NASCAR Nationwide Series race. The race will be broadcast on ESPN2 at 4 p.m. EST and will air on MRN radio at 4:30 p.m. EST.

Report says avalanche that injured climbers on Mount Washington avoidable
MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) � A report says an accident in which an avalanche carried three climbers down New Hampshire's Mount Washington in January could have been avoided.
A dozen people had been climbing on Jan. 17 when an avalanche was triggered. Three men, including retired Marine Sgt. Keith Zeier, who lost a leg in a bombing in Iraq, were swept about 800 feet downhill.
WMUR-TV reports (http://bit.ly/ZdSqUC) that analysts from the Mount Washington Avalanche Center said the group had been warned that the avalanche risk had increased to moderate and continued to climb into worsening conditions. And they said the goal of the climb � to raise money and awareness for families of special-operations forces killed or wounded in action � may have been a factor in the accident.

Modular Tri-Mount Riser
Regular price
The Modular Tri-Mount Riser is exceptionally useful. It mounts to the RIS rails atop most receivers, adding enough elevation to raise the optic high enough to be comfortably used while wearing goggles—your stock won't interfere with proper alignment when you install your red dot sight or scope to the riser!
Attachment points on each side of the Modular Tri-Mount Riser are ready to accept additional lengths of RIS rail, so you can mount an auxiliary, offset optic, or a host of other accessories like lights, lasers, and even night vision gear! To keep the weight of the Modular Tri-Mount Riser to a minimum, we include two 4.5cm segments of modular RIS rail.
Should you want additional segments for optics with a longer RIS mount or base, you can purchase additional 4.5cm segments above, or add 12.5mm full-riser-length rails as well, and easily install them right where you want them—hence the modularity in the Modular Tri-Mount Riser! Many lights and lasers require only the short length, so those lightweight sections are what we provide standard...but RAP4 is happy to offer you those additional pieces and lengths so you can create a truly customized Modular Tri-Mount Riser!
Key Features:
- Aluminum alloy construction
- Raises sight for use with goggles
- Offers 3 lengths of RIS rail
- Accepts virtually any RIS accessory
- Fully modular design
