"They can go out and ski, just as well as anyone else," he said.
Cronin tells of the man with cerebral palsy who enjoyed a ski trip with his brothers. The dad from Minnesota who brings his disabled son to Red Lodge Mountain Ski Resort every year to ski. The man who lost his leg in a motorcycle and started skiing. The special-education students whose faces light up as they join their peers on a ski trip.
From residents with traumatic brain injuries to those with no legs, Cronin has helped people learn to ski, regardless of their disabilities.
"There are really no limitations. If you have the desire, we can get out and ski," he said.
Eagle Mount volunteers help skiers use sit-skis for those unable to stand or use a tether, assisting skiers who are able to be upright. Eagle Mount provides the skiing equipment. Sometimes volunteers just shadow a skier to ensure their safety and provide encouragement.
"In providing recreational opportunities for disabled individuals, Eagle Mount doesn't overlook their limitations — it defies them," wrote Jeff Straw in a recent Eagle Mount fundraising letter.
Cronin works as a landscaper in the Powell area, so his seasonal job allows him to be assisting with Eagle Mount on Red Lodge most days of the week.
"Terry Cronin is the backbone of the ski program and does an absolutely incredible job with it," said Chris Wolff, who takes students from Powell to Eagle Mount's ski program Red Lodge.
Asked why he's stayed with the program for 20 years, Cronin said it's rewarding. Over the years, he's seen individuals reach milestones, such as skiing independently.
"It's neat to be able to offer that opportunity," he said.
Volunteers in the region donate their time, and Eagle Mount relies on financial contributions.
"We can't do it without people's support," Cronin said. "We're all volunteers. We rely on people's generosity."
Cronin said the group welcomes new volunteers every season.
"We always have a need for volunteers, especially those who can help on weekdays," he said.
This weekend, Eagle Mount will host its annual fundraiser, Eagle Fest, in Billings. The festivities include a dinner Friday night and an auction Saturday at the Crown Plaza in Billings. All proceeds benefit adaptive recreational programs.The organization began with an adaptive ski program and has grown to include golf, equestrian, swim and bicycle programs.

Kellie Pickler didn't just score perfect tens on ABC's Dancing with the Stars -- she also did it with the audience at the Grand Ole Opry Wednesday night, much to her surprise.
In her first appearance at the Opry since she won Dancing with the Stars , Kellie had just finished performing "Stop Cheatin' on Me," from her album 100 Proof , when the audience showed their appreciation by holding up paddles with "10" printed on them, in a nod to her ballroom victory.
Kellie was delighted by the gesture, laughing and asking the audience, "Did y'all plan that, or did everybody just happen to have those in their pocket?"
The celebration continued backstage, where Kellie was joined by her DWTS pro partner, Derek Hough , and others as she was presented with a cake, a toast and presentations from the Nashville Convention and Visitors Corporation and Pickler's record label, Black River Entertainment. And yes, the mirror ball trophy was there, too.
Others performing at the Opry last night included American Idol finalist Kree Harrison , Keith Urban , Rascal Flatts , Bill Anderson , Diamond Rio , Ricky Skaggs and Lennon and Maisy from ABC's Nashville.

What began as a frustrating morning of realizing the heater in my truck isn't working, turned into something more meaningful. I think. Can you believe it's already basketball season?
Sure, I know that college basketball always begins around the end of October. And yes, I know the NBA has already been in preseason for a while now. But this?
I think it really hit me when I walked into the office, took off my coat and gloves and saw a Gonzaga basketball yearbook on my keyboard. "Senior Style" is this year's theme. The preseason mag put out by IMG contains a little write-up on all of the players this year, including Przemek Karnowski, the young man all Zag fans want to get to know as soon as possible.
The title above Elias Harris' page is "NOW IS THE TIME". I agree.
Guy Landry Edi is happy at Gonzaga. That's good to know.
Kelly Olynyk is "COACH ON THE FLOOR" (hopefully he can get past the issues with Student Life first).
And, yes, David Stockton is "CARRYING ON THE FAMILY TRADITION", while Mike Hart is "FILLING A ROLE".
Who knew Gary Bell Jr. was an "ALL-AROUND WEAPON"?
Or that Sam Dower was a "BIG MAN WITH 'SPURT-ABILITY'"?
Hmmm. Kevin Pangos, now a sophomore, is "ON POINT", and redshirt freshman Kyle Draginis has "SOMETHING TO PROVE".
It was nice, I must say, to learn a little about Drew Barham, the junior transfer from Memphis. He chose the number 43 because he hopes to "shoot for three" often this season. That'll be nice.
And then there's Gerard Coleman, the junior transfer from Providence who won't be playing this year per NCAA rules. He wanted to go to a program where winning was a priority. Well done, young man. You found the right place.
Have you heard of Rem Bakamus? I must admit, that name snuck up on me. The walk-on freshman from Longview, Wash. says he is living the dream in Spokane - even if he is paying his way through school without a scholarship. He says he watched David Stockton when he was a freshman and looked up to him because of the way he played. Just keep learning and you'll be fine, son.
And lastly, how about Przemek Karnowski? The 7-foot-1 freshman is a big man. His picture proves it. Assistant coach Tommy Lloyd says he is a quick learner, he has a soft touch, and can pass well. His goal in coming to the USA, he said, is to become a more effective player.
Good. That's just what the Zags need this year!
Yes, basketball season is upon us. The first opportunity to see the boys in action is this Saturday when they play Northwest Nazarene in exhibition play. The game, by the way, will be on both SWX and KHQ.
Merry, uh, Happy Basketball season!

If you're interested in Ainu culture, head to this tiny place in the kotan . Lovingly run, Poronno will have you admiring both Ainu handcraft and culinary skills. Try the yukku-don (venison on rice; ¥1000).
This mellow day-to-evening joint across from the train tracks just near the Hotel New Kamakura serves up dishes such as pad thai and green curry, with vegies sourced from the local farmers market, and Southeast Asian beers to match. The friendly owner also serves a good selection of teas and tasty zenzai desserts.
Modern twists on seasonally changing Japanese izakaya (pub/eatery) dishes are matched with an array of wine, beer and sake cocktails. Private tatami (woven floor matting) rooms are available, but at this relaxed, stylish perch on the top of Parco 1, the lovely open-air terrace is the prime property.
Next door to Mori-no-Kokage (look for the English sign), this trendy Pan-Asian bistro is a good choice if your Japanese is limited. In addition to the local cuisine, KAPI also offers an impressive range of Asian favourites, from Korean-style hotpots to fiery Indonesian curries.
Complementing Otafuku is this unassuming spot tucked away on the 3rd floor of a nondescript white building just a few blocks south. The house speciality is shottsuru-nabe (¥2520), a hotpot made with hatahata, green onions and fresh tofu.
This stylish space gathers lively crowds and serves eclectic dishes from Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, with a touch of Italian for good measure; yam-un-sen is a spicy Thai salad with vermicelli. Highly recommended.
This pan-Asian cafe-restaurant on Teramachi-dōri is a great place to relax between bouts of antique hunting in the nearby shops. The place is pleasantly spacious, the music is usually good and the food is generally tasty.
This spotless new branch of a popular gyōza chain is in a great location opposite Ōsu Kannon. Set meals are excellent value including rāmen , gyōza and fried rice. There's an extensive picture menu.
Positioned between the museum of Ainu folklore and the rotemburo in Kussharo Kotan, this popular restaurant specialises in Ainu food. Try the sashimi of parimono (a local river fish; ¥1000).

Susan Sontag Tells All
The newly published second volume of the great critic's journals reveals her transformation from hedonistic revolutionary to elitist enforcer
There is nothing in the journals (as published) about the details of Sontag's marriage to Philip Rieff, but details are hardly necessary. Without Sontag casting aspersions on Rieff's character, the reader can tell that she has made a horrible mistake, that she should never have entered into this marriage; and the journals only resume when Sontag starts to admit this to herself. This is a sign of how keeping a diary, for Sontag, was not a matter of recording the details of everyday life. The reader of her journals never learns, for example, just how she managed to make a living writing long essays on Barthes and Artaud. Rather, as she writes, "in this journal I do not just express myself more openly than I could do to any person; I create myself. The journal is a vehicle for my sense of selfhood. It represents me as emotionally and spiritually independent. Therefore (alas) it does not simply record my actual, daily life but rather—in many cases—offers an alternative to it."
The title Reborn was aptly chosen for the first volume of diaries by David Rieff—the son of Sontag and Philip Rieff, whose feelings about editing and publishing his mother's intimate confessions can only be imagined. For starting in the late 1950s, when Sontag left husband and son in the United States while she went to study at Oxford, she deliberately and ruthlessly gave herself a new birth—essentially, by resuming the life she had glimpsed as a teenager and then given up. We follow Sontag in France, having love affairs with women, reading and thinking and beginning to write, with some of the sense of guilty liberation that she herself must have experienced. This was emphatically a woman's liberation, and Reborn deserves to become a classic feminist document, for the way it shows Sontag painfully unlearning the stereotypical role of wife and helpmeet. "I'm not a good person. Say this 20 times a day. I'm not a good person. Sorry, that's the way it is," she adjures herself in 1961.
For Sontag, duty and desire clashed in an especially intricate fashion, as she shows in a diary entry from 1960: "The will. My hypostasizing the will as a separate faculty cuts into my commitment to the truth. To the extent to which I respect my will (when my will and my understanding conflict) I deny my mind. And they have so often been in conflict. This is the basic posture of my life, my fundamental Kantianism." There is a paradox in the way Sontag uses Kant's ideas and vocabulary. According to Kant, reason instructs us about what is good, and the will must be disciplined to carry out the edicts of reason. What Sontag means, however, is just the reverse: For her, the will to do "good"—to be a good wife and mother, by sacrificing her own ambitions—was what had to be resisted. It was her reason that instructed her to do "wrong," by abandoning her marriage to follow her own path.
The sense that she had to reason herself into defying her own "will" is absolutely central to Sontag's early work, especially Against Interpretation. Read in the light of the diaries, it becomes clear why Sontag argued in such intellectualized and dutiful terms against the intellect and duty. She commands the world to an "erotics of art" just as she commanded herself to be faithful to her own erotic nature; she apotheosizes experience at a time when she was in search of all the experiences she had missed. But she does all this in terms that make eroticism a discipline and experience an obligation, in language as rigorously argumentative as she could make it. As she puts it in 1965, in As Consciousness Is Harnessed to Flesh, she was "becoming inhuman (committing the inhuman act) in order to become humane." Following the will could only become acceptable to Sontag if the will were commanded by reason, just as Kant had it: She was a hedonist according to the categorical imperative.
Which is really to say that she was not much of a hedonist. "Not to give up on the new sensibility (Nietzsche, Wittgenstein; Cage; McLuhan) though the old one lies waiting, at hand, like the clothes in my closet each morning when I get up," she warns herself. One of the rare comic moments in As Consciousness Is Harnessed to Flesh comes when Sontag is in Tangiers, hanging out with Paul Bowles, and has a revelation about the counterculture. To her, the counterculture was a grand intellectual and aesthetic experiment, a matter of "new sensory mixes." But she now realizes that a large part of what struck her as its strangeness is owed simply to the fact that its adherents were stoned all the time:
This is what the beat generation is about—from Kerouac to the Living Theatre: all the "attitudes" are easy—they're not gestures of revolt—but natural products of the drugged state-of-mind. But anyone who is with them (or reads them) who isn't stoned naturally interprets them as people with the same mind you have—only insisting on different things. You don't realize they're somewhere else.
One can imagine Sontag getting stoned only in the same spirit that Walter Benjamin tried drugs, in order to experiment with consciousness. Similarly, it becomes clear in the journals that Sontag supported the sexual revolution not because she was at ease with eroticism, but precisely because she was not. "I am so very much more cool, loose, adventurous in work than in love," she admits to herself. Much of the second volume of her journals is given over to agonized reflections on failed love affairs, in which she reproaches herself mockingly for her sexual incompetence: "Why can't (don't) I say: I'm going to be a sexual champion? Ha!" Similarly, the Sontag who clued in the Partisan Review readership to the excitement of "happenings" can be found writing: "I feel inauthentic at a party: Protestant-Jewish demand for unremitting 'seriousness.' "
It was not easy to be so serious. Sontag writes movingly and very candidly about the way her great intelligence made life and relationships difficult for her, starting from early childhood: "Always (?) this feeling of being 'too much' for them—a creature from another planet—so I would try to scale myself down to their size, so that I could be apprehendable by (lovable by) them." Many entries, clearly inspired by sessions with a therapist, show Sontag tunneling down to her early childhood, trying to understand how her father's early death and her difficult relationship with her mother have conditioned her adult life.
But for Sontag, intelligence and seriousness were far too integral to her sense of self to be wished away. She is always prepared to double down on seriousness: "Seriousness is really a virtue for me, one of the few which (I) accept existentially and will emotionally. I love being gay and forgetful, but this only has meaning against the background imperative of seriousness," she writes in 1958, in Reborn.
And in the second volume of journals, she circles around, but never quite reaches, a revelation about "seriousness" that explains many of the flaws of her criticism. Though Sontag announced at the age of 5 that she was going to win the Nobel Prize, by the 1960s she was worrying, "My mind isn't good enough, isn't really first rate. … I'm not mad enough, not obsessed enough." (Ironically, Sontag in this vein sounds exactly like Lionel Trilling in his journals—although conscientious old Trilling was Sontag's foil in Against Interpretation.) But it was not insufficient madness or obsession that limited Sontag's work as a critic.
Rather, it is precisely her reverent—or, more precisely, her acquisitive—attitude toward seriousness that makes her essays so solemnly, ostentatiously intelligent. "I make an 'idol' of virtue, goodness, sanctity. I corrupt what goodness I have by lusting after it," she writes in 1970. The same could be said of her worship of seriousness: A person who is instinctively sure that she is serious does not spend so much time proving it. Irony and wit, qualities signally absent from Sontag's work, are only possible when seriousness is the premise of one's self-conception, rather than the result that must be achieved.
This explains why so much of what has been written about Sontag after her death paints her as a rather ludicrous figure. In Terry Castle's barbed elegy "Desperately Seeking Susan," or in Sigrid Nunez's short book Sempre Susan, Sontag often comes across as hugely self-centered and inadvertently comic—and the best way to be inadvertently comic is to always insist on being, and looking, serious. If Sontag's inner life, as revealed in the diaries, is a moving drama, to other people she evidently seemed more like Dr. Johnson—a figure of massive egotism and unconscious eccentricity. It's too bad that she had no Boswell following her around day after day to put her fully on paper; but even if she had, an outsider could have known only part of the truth about her. The more important parts are to be found in her essays, her novels, and—above all—in her diaries.

Hair: Robert Santana for Matrix | Photography: Teddy Maki
The "bigger-is-better" perms commonly associated with the '80s might conjure up thoughts of tight, poodle curls, large metal rods and off-putting odors. But as perm technology has evolved and become more customizable, perms can be used to control texture, create natural looking waves or add volume to straight hair. The old permanent wave machine introduced in the 1920s used a combination of chemicals and electricity to curl the hair. To achieve the desired look of the time, clients sat under the machine for up to six hours while hair was heated to approximately 200 degrees. Advances in chemical technology have made the perm process much easier on hair. Improved solutions boasting built-in conditioners preserve strength and integrity while delivering consistent results. By varying rod size, solution strength and processing time, stylists can give clients a variety of options from big, tight curls to loose waves.
Goodbye Spiral, Hello Wave
The new twist in perming is all about adding definition and creating soft texture.

The American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy rocks. They have put numbers to what I have long expected to be true. Folks who complain about how much energy computers waste are crazy. Computers save tons of energy, while, themselves, using less energy than the lightbulb used to light the workstation. And now we know how much.
The study focused on a metric called "energy intensity." Basically, that's the amount of energy necessary to we use it discount drug levitra produce a dollar of economic output. The first major drop in energy intensity occured after the oil crisis in the 1970s. That was a cost-based drop, not generally the ideal.
Then, after OPEC lost its stranglehold, energy intensity stopped dropping because energy was once again cheap. But then, starting in the late 1990s, energy intensity began to drop significantly again. This drop was unrelated to energy costs and http://www.pjr.com/cialis-online-india was, in fact, a technologically spurred change.
Computers were helping us become more efficient. First, by using their power to design more efficient practices. And second, and much more significantly, by allowing people and things to travel digitally, instead of http://www.airatlanta.ie/cialis-generic physically.
Telecommuting a couple days per week, reading news online, emails, document downloads, and instant messages all allow people and things to travel while consuming much smaller amounts of energy. What's more, online shopping has reduced trips to retail stores, resulting in significant energy savings.
Energy intensity has continued to drop more than 2% every year since the Internet first appeared. Without the Internet, the paper's authors suggest that we would need one billion more barrels per oil per year! Indeed, ever kilowatt/hour we spend on enter site viagra 10 mg the www.tedxamsterdamed.nl Internet looks to brand viagra have saved about 10 kilowatt/hours of energy.
Not that I need another reason to spend time online...

Our analysis, shows that the jaygalbraith.com U.S. could reduce crude oil consumption by 388 Million barrels a year if workers who could worked from home, actually did. Collectively they would save almost $25 Billion per year, and reduce foreign oil purchases by $35 Billion a year. That's the equivalent of 48% of our Persian Gulf oil imports.

As for the study in itself, I doubt that it is reliable, do you have any source, any life cycle analysis related to it?

For businesses, this is pretty much a no brainer. The consumer market could benefit from this technology if hosted solutions providers could make available virtual machines to their customers and clients/partners.

Wonder what the fairgrounds looks like . . .
[URL="http://youtu.be/FVpNAeCiuSk"]Bloomsburg Flooding[/URL]
In a flood is it wise to stand on a bridge over flooded waters? With the deterioration of the infrastructure in the US I am not sure that is very smart.
Bloomsburg is suffering with record high water from TS Lee and Hurricane Irene. I bet the fairground is a mess.

This is from the north end of the track, you can see the stage in the background.
This is the intersection of routes 11 and 42 right outside the fairground entrance.

I'm tempted to make a certain comment....:D
Maybe when the waters recede the flame cars can help dry things.

Does anyone know if or how Camp Victory was impacted? They were the selected charity for this year. I have checked their site and didn't find any information.
Not sure if you folks saw this
The Fairgrounds has 10' of water covering it and the town is devastated. Their facilities were excellent and the people were very friendly when we were there 2 months ago.
All that money that we brought to the town is washed away, and I do not think that we could hold another rally there in the foreseeable future. Yeah, it was hot, but I do not think that the heat we had at the National was a normal situation for that area. I would have gone back to Bloomsburg if there was another National held there. I just want the same MOA rally staff that kept us as cool as possible at the '11 National! Great job folks!:thumb
I hope MOA will send the town a message that they have our sympathy and our best wishes for their recovery. I will always think well of Bloomsburg, PA.

Austin Markusen, 31, Daniel Cunningham, 22, and Jared Fullen, 25, were arrested last week at a house in the 4600 block of California Trail and remain in custody for their suspected roles in a drive-by shooting on Kickerville Road just south of Loomis Trail Road last weekend.
According to Whatcom County Sheriff Bill Elfo, a couple with small children in their car saw the suspect vehicle stopped on Kickerville Road at about 5:30 p.m. last Saturday evening. They started to make a U-turn when a suspect in the car that was stopped in the road fired several shots at them. No one was injured.
Markusen and Cunningham were inside the house on California Trail where deputies found the car at about 6 p.m. They were taken into custody but Fullen refused to cooperate. The Special Response Team was deployed and gassed the house, and Fullen was then taken into custody.
Quantities of methamphetamine were found on Fullen as well as in the house, along with a flare gun and a .38 caliber handgun. All three suspects remain in custody in the Whatcom County Jail.

Adam to Receive Award from Mathematical Association of America
Mathematician John Adam of Old Dominion will receive a prestigious annual award from the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) for an expository paper he published exploring the principles that determine the structure of the human circulatory system.
"Blood Vessel Branching: Beyond the Standard Calculus Problem" appeared in Mathematics Magazine.
Adam, who is University Professor of mathematics and statistics at ODU and the recipient in 2007 of the State Council of High Education for Virginia's Outstanding Faculty Award, will be presented with the Carl B. Allendoerfer Award at the MAA MathFest next month in Madison, Wis.
"I am delighted and honored to receive the Allendoerfer Award. After undergoing open-heart surgery in 1996, it is perhaps not surprising that I started to develop an interest in the biophysics of the blood circulatory system," Adam said, employing the wit for which he is known inside and outside the classroom.
"In almost every calculus textbook these days there is an optimization problem about vascular branching, and as a result of devoting some class time to this topic, my appetite was further whetted to see if more sophisticated, and accurate, models of branching and bifurcation existed. Consequently, I determined to try and reproduce the stated results, and re-develop them in the more pedagogic context of mathematical modeling," Adam said.
The announcement of the award by the MAA stated: "This well written article provides an excellent example of mathematical modeling in a context that is accessible and of obvious importance. It clearly shows the interaction of appropriate mathematical techniques with relevant scientific principles and illustrates the complexity of the modeling process. The reader is left with a deeper understanding of the power of mathematics to shed light on natural phenomena."
Adam, who received his Ph.D. in theoretical astrophysics from the University of London in 1975, is the author of approximately 100 papers in several areas of applied mathematics and mathematical modeling. His first book, "Mathematics in Nature: Modeling Patterns in the Natural World," was published in 2003 by Princeton University Press.
He co-authored "Guesstimation: Solving the World's Problems on the Back of a Cocktail Napkin" (2008 Princeton) with ODU's Lawrence Weinstein, University Professor of physics. More recently he has authored "A Mathematical Nature Walk" (2009 Princeton) and "X and the City: Modeling Aspects of Urban Life" (2012 Princeton).

With every space there comes a design challenge. I'm sure some wonderful decorator/organizer/architect has said something similar beforehand, but at the moment I'm going to take credit for it and declare that it doesn't even matter if your space has been completely made just for you, or you think you have it all planned out. You just never know you have a design challenge until you run into one. Kind of like carpenter ants.
Fortunately for me, my new apartment offers several design challenges that I am already aware of because S (fellow blogger, twenty-something and bestie) lives in the same apartment complex, so the layout of our apartments are very similar. In fact, when I called him to tell him I had seen the place, I described it as being "like yours, except flipped around". Do I sense a he says/she says décor post in the future?
Coupled with my photographic memory of my apartment tour, I'm already facing a few design challenges when it comes to my new space:
1) It's not a game. This is serious stuff. Ha. Of course I take decor very seriously. Too seriously. Like, in an I-wake-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-doubting-my-paint-colour kind of way. But one of the biggest design challenges involves just that: a game. Or more specifically, a boyfriend with a huge gaming addiction. Fortunately, he's no Angry Video Game Nerd, so he doesn't have shelves upon shelves of games that we need to store. But we do have two PS3s, an Xbox, a Wii and dozens of wires to account for in our living room. Coupled with our surround-sound system and our giant TV, I need to find a way to make the space pretty enough for everyday living but user-friendly enough that the legendary party known as "Game Tuesday" can be pulled off without a hitch.
2) But we have little ones. I love our dogs, Milo and Gemma, so much but designing with dogs in mind can be a challenge much as designing around kids can be a challenge. The materials that we use must be non-toxic and not so precious that they can't tolerate the occasional (the occasional!) accident and what must amount to mounds of pet hair per year. I also have no idea where to put their dishes, randomly.
3) Ch-ch-ch-changes. This is one of the biggest issues in a rental because there are so many things like fixtures that just cannot be changed. This can sometimes be a good thing. (Hardwood floors are almost unheard of now in an apartment building.) Or it can be a not so good thing. I'm thinking specifically about the colour of the bathroom tile on the walls. I can't even talk about it right now.
4) I like clothes. And we have two closets in the master bedroom. There's even a second closet in the second bedroom. But I need to figure out how to configure the closets in the best way so they can house all of the things we need to house in the apartment: off-season clothing, winter gear, day-t0-day clothes, linens, and cleaning supplies. And shoes. That's another thing we're not talking about right now.
5) I also like books. But short of having a multi-story library that the Beast has in his castle in Beauty and the Beast, I don't think I will ever be satisfied with the arrangement of my books. I am armed with a few bookcases, but after having the majority of my books in storage for over a year, I'm not entirely sure how many books I even have anymore. That could be an issue later on down the line.
I'm sure there will be a few other design challenges down the line too. I visited S's apartment recently and could already begin to see my list growing: unconventional window placement and spacing, decorating around a piano, squeezing things into a too-small foyer…but I'm remaining optimistic. There's way more space in this new apartment than it is in the one we are now. So who cares if some of the windows are a little funky? In my experience (re: voracious reading of design magazines) it seems like the most beautiful spaces are the ones in which the decorators have used innovative ways to make the most of what they had. If it means working with what I've got in order to make my new apartment the beautiful living space that I imagine, then I'm up for the challenge.
Do you have a design dilemma that you've recently overcome? Your story could be featured in an upcoming article of ours! Give us a shout at email@example.com and add your name to our growing roster of writers.

Frequently Asked Questions
A little background and history on the organization
Mission SOLANO was started in 1998 by the Bay Area Rescue Mission and Ron Marlette, our founder and Executive Director. Our program began by sleeping the homeless on a bus. Quickly he created our nationally recognized Nomadic Sheltering Program, which means our guests sleep in a different church every night.

What is your mission, vision and values?
Our Mission
Our mission is to minister the gospel of Jesus Christ to the homeless of Solano County by providing food, shelter, clothing, counseling, education and job skills training. To inform the public in caring for the poverty stricken.
Our Vision
Our vision is to provide an economic and spiritual bridge for people striving to regain the basic necessities of life in order to restore hope in themselves and their future while achieving economic stability so that they are able to rejoin their community as full and active participants
Our Values
At Mission SOLANO our ministry is based on:
- Inspiration of hope in those we serve
- Excellence in all we do
- Leadership centered on servanthood
- Respect for persons as individuals
- Integrity and accountability
- Moving our clients toward self-sufficiency
- Commitment to spiritual, emotional, social, and vocational growth
What specific services do you provide for the homeless and less fortunate?
We begin with the basics, food, clothing and shelter, but that's only the beginning. We meet one on one with every individual that we shelter to help them work through their homelessness as a result of finances, addictions, or bad circumstances. Some need just a little help, and some need a lot. That's where our Rays of H.O.P.E program comes in. It is a 6 - 12 month structured program to help the individual work through their difficulties and move them toward a productive and self-sufficient life. Our Bridge to Life Center is a holistic program that currently houses and assists homeless veterans, single women, women with children and families.
Our food and clothing closets assist the next level of needy: those who may still have housing, but cannot afford the basic necessities of life, like food and clothing. These folks are able to come to our twice weekly food distribution program and to our thrift store and receive free food, clothing and household goods.
At Mission SOLANO we want to be proactive in the area of homelessness. We think it is better to help those in near homelessness to stay in their homes because there is a huge need for more shelter for the homeless in Solano County.
What facilities to you currently have to help the needy?
We presently occupy a small campus at 740 Travis Blvd in Fairfield. This campus hosts our Community Outreach Center, our Rays of H.O.P.E Program, and our Transitional living center. We have facilities for our guests to take a shower and get a hot meal. Our buses take these nightly guests to different churches in our area for our Nomadic Shelter.
Our Bridge to Life Center located at 310 Beck Avenue in Fairfield, when fully completed, will house over 200 people. We currently have homeless veterans, single women, women with children, and intact families, and we are assisting them to become independent and productive members of society.
Our Thrift Store is at 2025 N Texas Street in Fairfield. We receive donations daily Monday through Saturday, and have lots of treasures. Stop by and check out our daily bargains.
The Drive Away Hunger auto donation program receives and sells donated cars, boats and RV's. Our location is at 1907 N Texas Street in Fairfield.
What are your plans for future facilities and additional services?
Our immediate plans include additions to our current Bridge to Life Center. This campus currently hosts a state-of-the-art recovery center for single women, women with children, single veteran men, and intact families. We are building a portable kitchen, and have plans for a full dining hall to be completed in the near future. We will also have chapel and an urban development program with an educational and vocational center that will help to move individuals toward self sufficiency.
What events/drives/special projects do you develop and manage throughout the year?
We have an annual charity golf tournament in August, various banquets, including the Brown Bag event, our Thanksgiving Feast, and our very popular children's Christmas gift give-away that serves over 1,000 needy children.
We continuously have groups throughout the year that do everything from food drives, backpack drives, toy drives and sock drives for the homeless. We are always looking for organizations that will provide a meal to our guests.
How much of your service is focused on the holidays versus everyday needs?
We operate every day of the year 24/7. On a average day we will provide services to as many as 200 different individuals. We provide over 100,000 meals and 17,000 bed nights a year. We do try to make the holidays special for our guests, but we always remember that poverty never takes a holiday.
Fundraising and Donations
How can people get involved – money, other ways? What goods and services are most in need?
- Money always helps, however, there are many ways individuals, groups and businesses can get involved.
- It could be as little as a $25 a month commitment to be part of the solution.
- Volunteering 1 – 4 hour shift a week.
- Picking up our food daily
- Making lunches for 25 or 50 people once a week
- Organizing a drive or benefit for the mission.
What about specialty programs?
Vehicle Donation
We accept just about any type of vehicle or vessel. We don't use an outside management company, so we are able to maximize the gift so that all of the proceeds go directly to the homeless and needy. Vehicles don't have to be in running order.
Planned Giving
We have a few different planned giving programs. One, of course, is to become a monthly partner for as little as $25 a month. And then, of course, we have a group of CPA's available to guide individuals in legacy and estate gifts.
Loving Tributes
Every month individuals give in honor or in memory of their loved ones. This is a wonderful way to show honor and tribute to that special individual in your life while allowing that gift to help those in your loved ones name. Simply put the name of the person you would like to honor on your check, or in the comments section of our online donation site.
What about companies – do you have Corporate Sponsors from the local area – how are you reaching out to the business community?
We are very involved in the business community. We are members of the Vacaville, Fairfield and Vallejo Chambers. Our board has a policy to make every effort to spend our money locally since we raise it locally. In addition, we meet with area business leaders to address the challenge of how to deal with the homeless issues in their communities.
Many of the largest Companies in Solano and Napa Counties have partnered with Mission SOLANO to be part of the solution.
How can people learn more about your organization – contact info, website, location of offices?
Our main facilities are located at 740 Travis Blvd in Fairfield, you can call us at 422-1011 or visit us online at www.missionsolano.org.
Also, one of our most important messages is not how your listener can help us, but how your listeners can help those in need. Please, if you have a need or know someone who needs help, direct them to us.

Amarillo, TX - After Monday's storm dumped up to a foot and a half of snow on the Texas panhandle, we're all dealing with the aftermath. And for farmers and ranchers, the aftermath means lost crops and lost livestock.
West Texas is known for extreme weather, and perhaps no one feels its impact more deeply than farmers and ranchers. So when blizzards like yesterday's roll in, ranchers do all they can to keep their herd alive - but you can't save them all.
When severe weather rolls around, ranchers can expect to see some losses, and Jim Bret of the Texas Cattle Feeders Association says most in our area were bracing for impact as early as Friday.
"Many of our feedyard managers were bringing in extra crews, they were already planning on spending the night at the feedyard Sunday night," said Bret. "Many of them spent the night there last night as well."
But in spite of yesterday's record-setting storm, both the cattle feeders association and local ranchers tell me their herds are in good shape.
"Our losses have been minimal," said Bob Lindsey, a Canyon-based rancher. "We're right in the middle of calving right now, and I saw a lot of calves when we were feeding just a while ago, and that was very encouraging. We've melted a lot of snow today. I imagine we'll only have to feed maybe one more day. But it sure came all at once."
The TCFA tells me it's far too early to quantify any losses, but they don't expect them to be significant. But after enduring a punishing drought for the last two years, the U.S. herd is already at its lowest level since the 1950s, so any losses would be deeply felt.
Texas is by far the leading beef producer in the nation, accounting for more than 14 percent of the national herd.

Montana And Tennessee Score Right-To-Privacy Victories; Kentucky Gays Battleattack On Privacy
Reflecting recent court decisions, this week NGLTF issued a revised edition of its map and fact sheet of sodomy laws across the country. Generally, sodomy laws criminalize anal or oral sex between consenting, adults even in the privacy of their homes. Tennessee and Montana gay, lesbian and bisexual citizens scored major victories in the struggle for the right to privacy. Courts in both of those states found sodomy laws to be unconstitutional.
On January 27, a Tennessee appeals court struck down the state's sodomy law on grounds that it infringed on a citizen's right to privacy under the Tennessee state constitution. Tennessee officials failed to show a "compelling" government interest to intrude on a citizen's right to privacy. Tennessee's sodomy law, the Homosexual Practices Act, specifically targets same-sex, consensual sodomy. The measure remains technically enforceable pending an appeal outcome.
In Montana on February 17, a District court found that state's sodomy law unconstitutional and granted a permanent injunction against the law. Like Tennessee, the court found the law in violation of a citizen's right to privacy under the state constitution. The victory in Montana is especially significant as it comes only 11 months after right-wing legislators used the state's sodomy law, the Deviate Sexual Conduct Statute, as justification for a "gay registration bill." The bill was defeated after massive public outcry. Montana's 10 year prison penalty or up to $50,000 fine for violation of its sodomy law is one of the highest in the nation. The state may still appeal this decision.
"The tide is turning. Use of sodomy laws to intimidate, harass and criminalize gay, lesbian and bisexual people is no longer going so easily unchecked," stated Kerry Lobel, NGLTF Deputy Director. "The Montana and Tennessee statutes were blatantly discriminatory in that they only outlawed same-sex, consensual sodomy and not heterosexual sodomy. We are gratified that at least some courts are striking down these homophobic and unfair laws," added Lobel.
Sodomy laws are often used to justify discrimination against gay, lesbian and bisexual people. A notorious example is the Sharon Bottoms case in Virginia. Last April, the state Supreme Court cited Bottoms' status as a criminal under the state's sodomy law as one reason for its decision to grant custody of Bottoms' son to his maternal grandmother. Just this week that ruling was reaffirmed.
The Kentucky gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community is currently battling amendments to two bills that would recriminalize sodomy. The Kentucky Supreme Court struck down the state's sodomy law in 1992 as unconstitutional.
According to NGLTF's Right to Privacy Map of the U.S., five other states (AR, KS, MO, OK, and MD) criminalize sodomy only between persons of the same sex. Fifteen other states have enforceable sodomy laws on the books pertaining to both same-sex and opposite-sex partners. Twenty eight states plus the District of Columbia are "free states."
To receive an updated NGLTF sodomy map, send $2 to NGLTF/Publications; 2320 17th St. NW; Washington, D.C. 20009 (sorry, prepaid orders only).
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

21 days to a new you: Get more energy
Now, stress is a given in our daily lives — always tasked with balancing family, work, friends, finances. But if we can reduce our own reactions to external stresses, and become calmer and more focused, the daily irritants of life can just wash right over us. We can't change what happens outside us, but there's plenty we can do to change ourselves! Here are some great ways to reduce stress.
By Anne Hurley for MSN Healthy Living
Day 1: Eat more soluble fiber every day
Foods with high soluble fiber content slow and regulate the absorption of sugars -- thus reducing and even eliminating the dreaded "sugar crash." Eat lots of fresh fruits and veggies, nuts, beans and oats. These foods contain a ton of soluble fiber (as opposed to insoluble fiber, also valuable for keeping you regular), which is almost a magic solution to stabilize your body chemistry.
Day 2: Stretch
Just the simple act of getting up from your work chair several times a day to stretch helps all your muscles both relax and re-engage. Power stretching, in fact, can be its own form of exercise, as can stretch-intensive yoga, which also boosts energy while also relaxing the mind. Also, try stretching for five to 10 minutes every morning and evening -- first thing out of bed and last thing before hopping back in. It helps regulate blood flow throughout your body, which can both help to energize and to calm you.
Day 3: Implement a strict bedtime and wake-up time
If you have to set your alarm for a while to get your body in a rhythm, that's fine. But vow to keep the same wakeup time, even on weekends. If you need extra zzzs, go to bed a half-hour earlier each night until you are getting the right amount of sleep. Being sleep-deprived can have a huge impact on your energy level. Sleep itself is healing to the entire body and your mind, so make sure you're getting as much of this natural "medicine" as you can.
Day 4: Eat a hearty breakfast
A good, balanced breakfast can actually fuel most of your day, especially if you incorporate complex carbs (oatmeal, quinoa) and fresh fruit along with protein. At lunch, go lighter or you'll feel logy in the afternoon. Have a big salad topped with nuts, or bowl of veggie soup and a small amount of protein like cheese or nut butter on some crackers for lunch. You'll be surprised at the consistency of your energy level during the day.
Day 5: Eat five smaller meals instead of three big ones
If you have blood sugar issues, this can be the ideal way to go. Instead of loading up at three bigger meals, try the grazing method. Plan five smaller meals, at, for example, 7 a.m., 10 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m., and 6 p.m. Just make sure that your three "real" meals are in fact smaller, and that your two "snack" meals are true meals. Try fresh carrot, celery, and zucchini sticks with peanut butter, or fresh fruit chopped up and served with nonfat Greek-style yogurt. This helps keep your blood sugar, and thus your energy level, consistent throughout the day.
Day 6: Get fresh air
Try to get outside at least a few times a day, rain or shine. Walk a few extra blocks to another bus stop in the morning, cruise around the block at lunch and take a walk in the neighborhood after dinner. Do some window shopping, maybe even work in an errand or two, and take a lot of conscious deep breaths. You already know walking is great for you, but breathing fresh air is like taking a mental vacation.
Day 7: Move your workouts to the morning
If you're normally an evening workout person, try moving your run or gym visit to the mornings. You'll have to get up earlier, of course, but then you'll have a couple of extra hours free in the evening. And most morning exercisers report that they have a higher overall energy level through the day than evening exercisers. Bonus: Gyms are usually much less crowded during the early morning than right after work; ditto for popular exercise classes.
Day 8: Rock out
Have your favorite music handy in the car, during workouts and even at the office (on headphones) if you have a job where you mostly work solo. Music is a big energy booster (as long as it doesn't distract you from detailed tasks). Or break out the music just when you feel your spirits and energy are starting to flag; it will help turn things around in a hurry and soon you will have a smile on your face as you press through the rest of your workday. Just be careful not to start singing out loud in the office to "Don't Stop Believin'."
Day 9: Take 5
Even a short power nap of five minutes can be very restorative. If you are truly spent, see if your workplace has a private place where you can lie down briefly. More workplaces are creating such spaces -- some call them "nap cubes" or "nap rooms." But make sure this doesn't become a regular thing; if it does, you'll need to revisit your bedtime and wake-up time again to establish consistency. Also, if you do nap, keep it short -- or people will talk.

December 5, 2011
by Bob Rotruck
Denis Hamel is still
lighting the lamps as well as anybody in the American
Hockey League.
He leads the Adirondack Phantoms with 10 goals
and 21 points and it is a position he's familiar
with. He led Adirondack in 2010-11 with 25 goals
an 50 points. And in his six AHL seasons prior
to arriving in Adirondack, he was the all-time
leading scorer in Binghamton Senators history.
Before that, he was cranking up his powerful slapshot
for the Rochester Americans in a professional
career that began in 1997.
Hamel's most recent goal was a long empty-netter
on Friday night, with over five minutes remaining,
to seal a 5-1 Phantoms win at the Norfolk Admirals.
The goal puts him in the same company with another
Adirondack hockey great, Glenn Merkosky. Now with
325 career goals apiece, Hamel and Merkosky are
tied for 12th all-time on the AHL leader-board.
Hamel's next goal will move Merkosky down one
rung to
Glenn Merkosky played 11 professional seasons
including six with the Adirondack Red Wings from
1985-91 where he won a pair of Calder Cup Championships
in 1986 and 1989. His uniform number 15 was retired
on December 22, 1993 and continues to decorate
the rafters of the Glens Falls Civic Center. He
was inducted into the inaugural class of the Adirondack
Hockey Hall of Fame in 2010.
Merkosky's numbers with Adirondack were strikingly
similar to Hamel's stats with Binghamton. Merkosky
scored 204 goals with the Red Wings. Hamel scored
203 goals as Binghamton's all-time leading scorer.
Merkosky's top season was a 54 goal campaign in
1986-87 to lead the league. Hamel accomplished
the same feat 19 years later with a 56 goal campaign
in 2005-06.
Now a scout for the Detroit Red Wings, Merkosky
has enjoyed all the coverage of the Denis Hamel
chase of his spot on the goal-scoring leader-board.
He even paused to take a trip down memory lane
when he
was first informed of the countdown.
"It's actually pretty interesting,"
Merkosky said. "Adirondack was playing in
Rochester and I was scouting at the game and somebody
had mentioned it (the Hamel countdown) to me.
Sometimes you feel like
you've been away from the game for so long you
almost forget you ever played. So I watched that
whole game in a little bit of a different light.
I was thinking to myself how it was sure fun playing
back in those days. It was a great, little bit
of a flashback moment for me."
Hamel admits that for him, it's all about
enjoying the game itself and not the milestones.
He has decided this may be his last season playing
professionally in the game he loves and he wants
to savor every
"I hear about it (the pursuit of Merkosky's
325 goals) and read about it, but I try not to
think of that. I'm just here to play hockey
and do the best I can," said Hamel. "This
year is my 15th year and I'm
thinking maybe about retiring after this season
so I just want to do the best I can for my last
In a matter of weeks, Hamel will pass another
impressive milestone when he plays in his 1,000th
career professional game. He is currently at 990
games played including 798 in the AHL and 192
in the NHL with
Buffalo, Ottawa, Philadelphia and Atlanta.
Merkosky had many compliments for Hamel's abilities
and career, "Obviously being a scout, I've
watched Denis play for a lot of years and he's
such a tremendous goal scorer. Certainly congratulations
to him."
Like several of the former Adirondack Red Wing
greats, Phantoms head coach Joe Paterson and Merkosky
both continue to reside in the Glens Falls area
watching today's stars such as Hamel continue
the rich hockey tradition of the region. "We
ex-players laugh and talk about it now,"
Merkosky said. "We were young players then
and we end up driving to some little town in northern
New York and wondering exactly where we're going.
And now it's home for us. Guys like Greg Joly
still live here full-time. Pete Mahovlich is my
neighbor. It's been a great place to live and
a great place to bring up a family."

I recently bought the audio book of Mary Tamm's autobiography First Generation, and I just wanted to recommend it to any fans of Mary's work.
The three CD's form a three hour long account of Mary's humble upbringing in Bradford, her schooldays where she first became interested in "treading the boards", her experiences as a student in RADA through to big screen success in The Odessa File, and of course her time as Romana in Doctor Who which is where this first volume ends.
I have to admit that I had no idea Mary had had such a successful and varied career prior to Doctor Who, so it was fascinating to hear how she came to be eating fish and chips in her one bedroom flat in Notting Hill with film star Richard Burton, aswell as her embarrassing first encounter with Jon Voight.
Seven pounds well invested I think, and hopefully it won't be too long before the second volume materialises.
Now we just need to persuade Louise Jameson to write and record her autobiography!
Until then I have Anneke Wills memoirs to look forward to!

UPDATE: Circuit Skirmish 2 is out. Go watch it!
Lots of views, lots of reviews! Thanks! If the movie seems to be running slow or if the sounds arent matching up, turn it to low quality.
This is a short animation about a robot I've had in my head for about a year. Only as of recently have I been able to suck him out of my cerebral cortex and animate him. Enjoy!
Rated 5 / 5 stars March 18, 2013
awsome! but, could the person that lets loose the killer robots... be the nice robots creator? also, xAyjAy, if he could, he wouldn't maybe because: 1. it can't get the right colors of it's parts, or 2. it seems bad and cruel to him.
Rated 5 / 5 stars February 2, 2013
he could use the parts of the bad robots to repair himself!

Captain Giorgos Karagounis scored late in the first half, sending Greece to a stunning 1-0 victory over Russia Saturday at the National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland, and on to the quarter-finals.
Main storyline
This was suspose to be a formality for high-scoring Russia. Leading Group A with one game remaining against the less talented Greeks, Russia simply needed a draw to move on to the quarter-finals.
What transpired was a nightmare loss to send the Russians packing.
The Czechs, who defeated Poland on Saturday, won Group A with six points. Greece's victory over Russia pulled the two nations even with four points, but the Mediterranean country secured the second-place finish with the head-to-head win.
The teams appeared headed to a scoreless draw heading into the half until a defensive blunder led to a Greece goal in extra time. Russian defender Sergei Ignashevich's header off a throw-in was intercepted by Karagounis, who then raced across the right side untouched and fired a low drive past goalie Vyacheslav Malafeev.
A more desperate Russian side attacked with more vigour in the second half, but found penetrating the vaunted Greek defence a rather difficult task.
However, the Greeks were dealt a big blow in the 61st minute as Karagounis was given a second yellow card of the tournament for diving in the Russian penalty area. The irate Greek captain immediately got up and barked at referee Jonas Eriksson, feeling that he made contact with Ignashevich.
Greece will now have to play without Karagounis in the quarter-finals.
Russia had its best chance to tie the match in the 84th minute, only to see striker Alan Dzagoev — who shares the tournament's goal-scoring lead with three — push his header just wide of the far post.
Greece, the 2004 European champions, continually showed the Russians why they defend so well with the lead, diplaying a shutdown defence while giving up little in the way of good scoring opportunities.
"We'll have to be aggressive in our defending, and not to let them run with the ball," Greece coach Fernando Santos said prior to the game.
They did just that in limiting Dzagoev and forward Andrey Arshavin.
Several disbelieving Russian players walked off the pitch wondering what went wrong.
After an impressive win 4-1 over the Czech Republic, they earned a draw against Poland. It was all in front of them — until they faced the pesky Greek.
What this result means
- Greece's stunning win over Russian earned the nation second place in the group. The Greeks will now face winner of Group B in the knockout round.
The winning goal
- The Russians fell asleep at the wheel, it's that simple. How else can you explain allowing a harmless throw-in into the game-winning goal on the final play of the first half?
Man of the match
- While he'll be watching the quarter-finals from the stands, Karagounis's game-winning goal gave Greece the biggest upset in Euro 2012.
The Greek perspective
- "The moments are pure magic for all of us. This is a great night for all Greeks. I thank God for living these moments. I cannot describe how I feel. It's so great." — Greece captain Giorgos Karagounis
The Russian perspective
- "We should have won by a wide margin tonight but we didn't. My compliments to Greece. A number of players weren't sharp enough to score." — Russia coach Dick Advocaat

How on EARTH can you create a list of the best beer gardens in the city without including the Bohemian Beer Garden in Astoria? Seriously, it's been around FOREVER, has an enormous amount of outdoor space, and has the authenticity of a real beer hall without the hipster pretense. Moreover, anyone can go. So, in the more European tradition, it's not unusual to see kids playing together while their parents socialize at the enormous picnic tables.
Really, Time Out, this is a terrible omission.

Adult Fiction ONAN
Summary: From a writer who reveals 'the plainness of everyday life with straightforward lyricism' (The New York Times Book Review), the story of one remarkable, average woman. On a clear winter night in upstate New York, two young men break in to a house they believe is empty. It isn't, and within minutes an old woman is dead and the house is in flames. Soon after, the men are caught by the police. Across the county, a phone rings in a darkened bedroom, waking a pregnant woman. It's her husband. He wants her to know that he and his friend have gotten themselves into a little trouble. So Patty Dickerson's old life ends and a strange new one begins. At once a love story and a portrait of a woman discovering her own strength, The Good Wife follows Patty through the twenty-eight years of her husband's incarceration, as she raises her son, navigates a system that has no place for her, and braves the scorn of her community. Compassionate and unflinching, The Good Wife illuminates a marriage and a family tested to the limits of endurance.

N: Frankly gorgeous. Creamy vanilla, baked apples, whiff of cinnamon & cocoa. Gets quite leafy for a while, then wonderful varnished wood aromas. The balance of fruit and wood is just about perfect.
P: A delicious mix of sweet and savoury, with mild toffee flavours and the vanilla from the nose balanced by the appley fruit and very well-defined spicy oak and spices. Impressively deep and very moreish.
F: Good length. Gentle and warming, with toffee and some hitherto unnoticed nuttiness.
C: A gem from an underrated distillery. Glengoyne's lack of peat leads some to regard it as a worthy but dull whisky, but the truth is that the spirit made here is of remarkable quality, and when it gets into the right cask the results are magical.

All week, law enforcement officers from four different states have been receiving 'less-lethal' instructor training in Rusk County to learn how to handle real-life situations.Sandy Wall is a former SWAT member from the Houston Police Department, and for the last nine years, he's been holding trainings for The Safariland Group, a protective equipment provider."These gentlemen are going through an instructor-level program on the deployment and use of distraction devices, which SWAT teams, narcotics units, hostage rescue units use in order to regain a tactical advantage or establish a tactical advantage against an adversary," said Wall."They're simulating breaching the door, and then they are going through the mechanics of deploying a distraction device correctly per the manufacturers and the tactical industry standards," he said. "And do that along with communicating and working with each other as well as adhering to the safety principles."Students like Lieutenant Bryan Pool of the Henderson Police Department learned how to use aerial signal devices and other distraction devices."Leaving here today, completing this class will get me that certification, that instructor certification that I need to go on and teach the officers that work under us the application of how to deploy these devices and how to properly use these devices," Pool said. Hosting the training was a no-brainer for the Rusk County Sheriff's Department."This is the type of training that we would have to send officers off to get. And here we can keep them locally, we can bring funding into the community," said Rusk County Sheriff Jeff Price.The training also provides the information many law enforcement agencies the up-to-date training they need."It prepares us to have some type of idea of what to expect when this happens," Pool said."This is an extremely important tool that saves lives, both the officers, saves hostage lives, and even the bad guys," said Wall.Earlier this week, the officers received training in how to handle pepper spray, chemical agents like tear gas, and extended-range, blunt-trauma ammunition.They are now trained to instruct others on how to use the devices.
