Firearms Safety…
"The Rules"
How can anyone argue about Safe Gun Handling? We can!Here are the four inviolate rules of firearms safety as codified by Jeff Cooper (1920-2006) and instructed at Gunsite Academy (nee American Pistol Institute)… memorize them! Make them an integral part of your life, for you will be tested on them as long as you will be around firearms.
For the competitive shooter (where it is invariably a requirement) and the occasional plinker, the NRA's discipline is probably a good way to go. For a trained "martial artist" (and defensive pistolcraft is the most American of martial arts) and Law Enforcement professional, an assumption of the Gunsite Rule #1 is a requisite!
That was all well and good 'til someone on rec.guns (where else!?!) stated:
"All guns are always loaded!" is a ridiculous thing to say. What kind of safety rule is a declarative statement which is patently false?While I was suggesting to the poster that if he didn't "get it," perhaps he shouldn't handle any firearms 'til he did, Rob Firriolo weighed in:
Right. And that is why NRA Certified Instructors teaching NRA basic courses teach "Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction" as Rule One. Many thinking shooters, who can move beyond fawning over Colonel Cooper, understand that teaching a rule which is obviously false doubtless will result in less than strict adherence to the rule.Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Rob, one need not kneel or genuflect toward the high Arizona desert to either instruct, or pay heed to, the Cooper-codified Four Rules of Firearms Safety. Considered contextually, #1, "All guns are always loaded!" not only makes perfect sense, but is a wise "rule" indeed.
There's No Such Thing AsGunsite Academy (nee the American Pistol Institute) runs a "hot" range… and has from the jump when firearms instructors everywhere, even on military ranges, ran them "cold." This also came from a period when the most frequently heard plaint in the wake of a Negligent Discharge was "I didn't know the gun was loaded." There was even a popular C&W song with that title half-a-century ago.
An Accidental Shooting,
Only Criminal Negligence!
Now, one may not like Jeff Cooper, but I would not be so quick to dismiss his "Four Rules." They are not only succinctly presented and easily retained by a tyro, but they wisely extend beyond the scope of the NRA-instructed three. It's simple… the NRA's "cold range" sport shooting mentality (on a range, one need not consider the certainty of one's target as long as the gun is pointed in a safe direction, of course) vs. Cooper's "hot range" real world application where one is absolutely responsible for every round discharged, and the shooter "owns" whatever is hit.
Strictly speaking (but without leading into a political discussion about the NRA!), adherence to the NRA model would preclude any sort of useful "CCW," wouldn't it?
And a defense of the "Four Rules" is not "fawning," but a dispassionate perspective.
Rob met me head-on, and as it is clear that we each have our own perspective, I'll allow him the final say:
Maybe for experienced shooters on a hot range, but "All guns are always loaded!" is practically useless for others. And I reiterate that it is not a rule, but a declarative statement rife for dismissal because everybody knows it is untrue.
No "rule" so frequently and facially untrue carries much weight. That said, I still assert it is a valuable mindset. But proper mindset is a level above following rules to which only a minority of gun handlers ever aspire.
Cooper's Final VersionAlmost as if a direct riposte to Rob's critical note, in Spring 2003, Jeff Cooper issued what appears to have been his final words on the issue:
We hoped by this time that the standard rules of safe gunhandling would have become universal throughout the world. They have been arrived at by careful consideration over the years, and they do not need modification or addition. We trust that all the family have them by heart in all languages, but for those who came in late here they are again:And then, never troubled by his inconsistency:
It is a continuing annoyance to see people messing around with the safety rules. The four that have been developed over the years suffice entirely as now stated. There is no need for more, and we really cannot get by with fewer. However, some half-educated enthusiasts keep trying to make up a new set, or to add or subtract, which does nothing but serve to confuse matters. A major point of issue is Rule 1, "All guns are always loaded." There are people who insist that we cannot use this because it is not precisely true. Some guns are sometimes unloaded. These folks maintain that the rule should read that one should always treat all guns as if they were loaded. The trouble here is the "as if," which leads to the notion that the instrument at hand may actually not be loaded. This leads to disaster, yet we hear it all the time. Sometimes it appears we become so obsessed with the ephemeral goal of safety that we lose sight of the purpose of the exercise. Safety is not first. Safety is second. Victory (or success) is first.And there… other than the re-discovery of the U.S. Army's extended version of firearms safety in an old Field Manual (23-35)… it rests.
Or it did 'til the Summer of '06 when The New York Times' Ralph Blumenthal reported, in a piece entitled "Bull's-Eyes of Texas: Getting a Gun License:"
The three cardinal rules of gun-handling:It must be noted that Mr. Blumenthal certainly covered his bases with #1.
Otherwise the aspect of greater interest in that mostly "positive" article was that it was placed in the Travel section!
Uncle Elmer weighs in…
A sixgun or automatic pistol is a tool, and a deadly one; handle them as such. From the start, consider all guns as being loaded whether you know them to be empty or not. Treat them as loaded guns and you will never have an accident. I am scared of empty guns and keep mine loaded at all times. The family knows the guns are loaded and treats them with respect. Loaded guns cause few accidents; "empty guns" kill people every year.– Elmer Keith, Sixguns, p. 87
The Maintainer cut his teeth as a professional court witness back in the '90s in a case where a police officer on tour stopped into a fire station in his sector to answer the call of nature, and wound up with a secondary and entirely unintentional discharge.
Yes, it was a Glock agency, one with a track record of well-documented mechanical malfunctions with the pistols, but it was obvious to all what had occurred despite Plaintiff's assertions to the contrary:
It just went off… I must've bumped it on something while I was fastening up my trousers.This led to the by-now inevitable lawsuit against both Glock and the duty leather-maker, SafariLand, joined by the MOS' wife, for "pain, suffering and," as is increasingly common, "loss of consortium."
Retained by Plaintiff's counsel as a "fact witness" in respect to the history of mechanical problems with the pistols, the Maintainer was, fortunately for Plaintiff, precluded from any speculation as to what actually occurred between Plaintiff and his service weapon in the confines of that stall. Not surprisingly, Glock and SafariLand prevailed.
This has led to another Rule of Firearms Safety4:
It shouldn't've had to be stated, but apparently it does.

A Jeff-ism
While it was Flavius Vegetius Renatus who said "Qui Desidererat Pacem Praeparet Bellum," it was Jeff Cooper who articulated the underlying concept of Gunsite when he stated, "We are selling peace of mind."
A Constant Gun Safety Reminder
Everytime I open the case I get the reminder to handle the guns properly and safely.
End Notes…
1.- "If nothing else, we professors of the modern technique seem to have gotten across Rule 3. The photos we see back from the contact areas all seem to demonstrate the straight trigger finger outside the trigger guard prior to the moment of truth. This is a good thing, and if we are responsible for it, we will accept appropriate pats on the back."
- Jeff Cooper
September 2006
2.- Rob notes: "Actually, these are the big three, but NRA has a full list of about 10 or so."
3.- Yet Jeff suggests that an appropriate method of getting into action with a DA pistol is:
…a simple answer is to throw that first shot trigger-cocked down range without thought for sights or trigger control. This prepares the shooter for the second shot which may be taken with proper attention to front sight and surprise. With this system the first shot is not "thrown away." It may hit, especially if the range is short, but proper care is only devoted to the second.It was an often impossible task to get the man to satisfactorily address such conflicts in doctrine.
– Cooper Commentaries
Volume 12, Number 7
4.- This was finalized in the wake of the goof who put a bullet through the ceiling of a Nashua, New Hampshire Wal-mart men's room stall in September 2006.

Subtitled "Pulling off Your Shorts," this book by Troy Lanier and Clay Nichols is less about the penchant for baggy pants and more about the growing interest among teens for producing their own films. Lanier is a documentary filmmaker; Nichols is a playwright and screenwriter. Together, they teach filmmaking at St. Stephen's Episcopal High School in Austin, Texas, where they've encountered many kids who dream of the "silver screen" during Algebra; this book is designed for those they may never see in class.
Conversational, engaging, and frequently amusing, Filmmaking for Teens is a guidebook for those who want to start making movies before they graduate from high school. Lanier and Nichols suggest starting with a five minute short film rather than a feature: "It is our belief that you raise the odds of finishing your movie, of pulling off your shorts, if you tackle a project of reasonable size."
"Five minutes," you ask, perhaps out loud, attracting stares from other Starbucks patrons. You start to think about things that take five minutes: making a bowl of ramen, brushing your teeth, going to your locker for your books – none of which sounds very much like your Hollywood dreams.
But, as the authors observe, in five minutes you can "tell a story that makes people laugh or cry or both." You can "communicate a lot about what you think and who you are." And more importantly, five minutes is a manageable project: the bigger the project, the more complicated it becomes. They suggest beginning small, simply because it reduces the number of headaches and remains relatively manageable. It's rather like walking: you have to take baby steps before you can run.
The authors recommend that even for a five minute short, you script it in advance ("The problem with improvised films is that they usually have that homemade, America's Funniest Animals look."). In order to be taken seriously, even a short film needs "professional polish," which means preparation and focus before, during, and after filming. They hit the idea of concept, and state the obvious: for a short film, the storytelling structure of Hollywood feature films simply won't work. They offer tips on screenwriting (even though we're only talking five pages of script here, it remains important), how to be an effective producer (essentially, how to ask favors, the "fine art of the mooch," and more – very important for filmmaking on a shoestring budget), how to prepare to be a director, the importance of equipment, how to get good sound, and more.
Unlike some books that are all about reaching for the stars, Filmmaking for Teens is basically grounded in things which anyone can do to get their cinematic feet wet. The authors provide concrete, useful information and give tips on how to get the most bang for your buck. Given the developing interest in quality short films online, this is certainly a helpful guide for almost anyone – even those whose high school days are behind them – interested in short film development.Powered by Sidelines

VT Man Not Allowed To Wear Makeup In Court In Now Least Pretty Trial Ever

This animated video narrated by the Iron Sheik is the best Iron Sheik animation story I've seen all morning. I feel like I can listen to Sheiky talk for hours.
New York State police held a press conference earlier today (3/14) regarding the death of a shooting suspect in Herkimer. The suspect had shot six and killed four on 3/13 at two different locations. Police had him cornered overnight and opened fire on him when he shot and killed an FBI K9 Officer.
You might think I'd be taking the N.W.A. approach to this story, but in the case of the Harlem Shake I say "Mother F These dudes"!
How I Assume The 911 Call Went:
This doesn't really seem like a police matter. Some frat bros were doing bro things and made a giant bro clown out of snow and you called the police?
A woman in Oklahoma was arrested for my guess is being awesome or meth, the reason is regardless. After the arrest police officers searched her and found bags of meth stashed in her butt and a gun stuffed in the front hole.
There's a dude flashing people in Rotterdam and the police can't find him? How about starting with the guy who is missing pants?
When I was in high school I had a huge crush on my librarian. 5ft 2, 130ish, blond with huge melons! I would've given anything to experience my first sexual encounter with her. Of course, I was like 15, and any female with huge boobs would have been enough to keep me sitting for a prolonged period of time, if you catch my drift ;-) Fast forward to Feb 2013.
Sometimes I wonder if Albany belongs in Florida, only because we seem to hold our own for the weirdest people doing 'incredible' things. Incredibly odd. Today we learn of mother attending an assembly at her child's school that ended with her undressed and arrested. Oh Albany.
One thing you can definitely expect this weekend (especially if you decide to take a ride after tossing a few cold ones back) are police and DMV, who will 'be out in force' patrolling Albany Area roads.
An elementary school tussle turned into an all day police station ordeal for seven-year old Wilson Reyes, according to a $250 million lawsuit his parents have filed against the NYPD.

Beautiful park ! Many places to fish.

Half campsites were on the beach and half on the river.

No vacant dry spots. Refund issued returned home.

Boosting Busness with Signs
The Various Types of LED Business Signs You Can Choose FromThe business world is increasingly competitive. Every business is constantly looking for clever ways to beat the competition before they can be driven out of business. Many modern businesses are turning to LED signs to help them improve recognition and marketing. If are thinking about using LED signage in your business, you should be informed about the options available to you. Monochrome LED signs These LED signs have the simplest design. They let you convey your message in one colour (usually a bright red or amber colour). That explains why they are also referred to as single colour LED signs. Monochrome signs can display short animated text messages, which may be changed depending on your business needs. Monochromes are ideal for businesses that do not gain much from using video and photographic images to market their products and a short and succinct message will achieve the desired results, at a much lower cost. They can vary in size, ranging from large billboard-size signs for outdoor use to smaller poster size signs for use indoors, so you can always find a suitable size for your indoor or outdoor applications. Tri-colour LED signs These LED signs are similar to the monochrome ones, but they let you convey your message in three different colours — red, amber and green. They deliver attractive, highly visible messages that can grab the attention of people more effectively than the single colour LED signs. Like with monochrome signs, the message on tri-colour signs can be updated whenever needed. Tri-colour LED signage can be used indoors or outdoors. They are a clear winner for businesses seeking to... read more
How to Choose the Colour of Your Business SignIf you have recently bought or started a company, you may be planning to invest in new business signage to advertise your business to the public. Below is a guide to how to choose colours which will send messages to potential customers, reinforce your brand and hopefully increase your sales. Choosing Colours The easiest way to work out which colours are best for your business is to use a colour wheel. A colour wheel will allow you to explore colour theory. Colour theory is ancient; it is mentioned in the journals of Leonardo da Vinci and was further developed my Sir Isaac Newton. A colour wheel displays the different colours of the spectrum in the round. Start by selecting a starting colour, the colour you want to represent your business. Locate this colour on the wheel. The colours which neighbour this colour complement it and create harmony. The colours which are directly opposite your chosen colour will provide contrast. You should explore the how the different colours of the colour wheel correspond to each other. For example, you may wish the background of your sign to be filled with complementary colours but the text printed on the sign to contrast against the background colours so potential customers can easily see it. Creating Brand Identity A strong brand is a key component of building a strong business. Brand identity goes beyond your signage or logo. Your branding needs to be consistent across your business. If your staff wear uniforms, they should be the same colour as the base colour used on your signs and logos. The interior of your store... read more
Tips to make compelling corporate signage a realityWhether on a poster or banner, fixed on a wall, or installed in front of a building or retail store, your corporate signage is an advertising tool that can create a lasting first impression on your clients. Here are two important tips that will guarantee that your corporate signs obtain real results. Choose your audience and message If you wish to target the general population–anyone driving past your office or retail store for example–it's important that you restrict your message to only include your company name and logo. But why? Well, a minimalist approach such as this one prevents you from excluding a prospective customer by being too specific. From a psychological point of view, it also infers that your audience should by now know who you are, which helps display authority. On the other hand, if you're targeting a well-defined audience, it's important that you devise a more specific, personal message. By way of example, a restaurant targeting fishermen en route to a nearby lake can reach its audience by using the following words: 'Fresh coffee, live bait'. If the target audience is male, eleventh-hour holiday shoppers, a corporate sign that says, 'The gift present she truly wants is here' communicates directly to their requirements. Creating a personal message also relates to commercial audiences. An exhibition poster focusing on factory directors and managers that says, 'Lower your factory's power expense by half' is more ideal than merely 'Energy management services'. Indeed, when targeting a very specific audience, you must draw their attention and inform them of exactly what you're offering. Corporate signage ought to be your brand ambassador... read more
How To Restore And Maintain A Bronze Memorial PlaqueBronze is an incredibly resilient material that's commonly used for headstone and memorial plaques. While it will withstand the test of time, it will darken as the years go by, leaving the engraving less pronounced. To restore a bronze plaque back to its former glory, follow these directions: Remove the Dirt and Grime Use a stainless steel brush to wipe off the surface. Pay particular attention to any engravings to ensure they are left free from dirt. Wrap a strip of sandpaper around a wooden block and sand the surface. Buff the engravings until they become brighter and more pronounced. Fold the sandpaper in half and work the inside of the engravings to remove any excess debris. Apply a Cleaning Solution Mix together a tablespoon of washing up liquid with a bucket of warm water. Use the metal scrubbing brush to apply the water to the plaque. When you've scrubbed the surface, rinse away any soapy water with clean water. Dry the surface with a microfibre cloth as best you can, and then leave it to air dry for at least an hour. Apply Leather Dye Wipe brown or black leather dye over the bronze using a microfibre cloth. Use an artists brush to work it into the engravings. For best results, apply at least two or three coats. Leave the dye to dry, following the guidelines on the tin. Re-sand the surface to remove any excess dye, and then wipe down the surface with a rag to remove any remaining particles. Spray with Lacquer Depending on what type of finish you'd like to achieve, spray either a low... read more
Creating Attractive Signage for Your BusinessFor any business that relies on advertising as a means of communicating with the customer, signage could prove to be what determined whether a potential buyer will decide to walk into your premises and pay for products or service rendered or simply pass outside your premises. To get the best out of your signage, there are three distinctive features any business owner should have in mind when designing posters, banners or any other form of business signage. Readability Creating contrast between the background and foreground is one of the most important factors to consider to ensure ease of reading. Most signs will include an image in the foreground with a continuous background color, and this is critical to the viewer's retention of the content when considering the contrast between these two items. For example, you can consider pairing very dark colors with brighter ones to increase visibility and boost readability. Adding a border to the text can to increase visibility and readability even more. Size matters You will need to choose your words first before you can size your sign. After all, people read words displayed on the signs, not the signs. Make sure the words are clearly written and displayed as many people will not go through the trouble of straining to read messages that are not clearly written at first sight. The larger the letters, the easier it is for the reader to understand the intended message. If the distance from the roads is an issue, business signage should have large enough words for those in passing vehicles to read easily. Flowery scripts should not be considered when... read more
3 Important Points about Architectural Signage That Many Business Owners OverlookThe signage outside your building is very important, as without it, customers may easily walk right by your shop or not realize what you sell or that you're even open. As important as it is, many business owners tend to overlook some very basic points about signs that make them effective in drawing in customers. Note a few of those points and why they're so important for your business. 1. Placement Should Be Visible from the Road and the Sidewalk If your store or other business is in a strip mall or accessible to foot traffic, you want to ensure that your signage is visible from the road and from the sidewalk. Customers need to be able to see your store or office as they're driving but if you only have a sign near the roof of your building, it could be overlooked by those walking by. This is why many businesses have signs that are visible from the street but also one on or next to the door. Don't neglect one or the other no matter your type of business, so that you don't miss out on customers approaching from the street or the sidewalk. 2. Signs Should Be Visible During All Hours of the Day A wood sign can give your business a very casual look, but it might not be visible at night. A white sign can be very noticeable from the road, but can virtually disappear in bright sunlight. Choose a sign material and type of lettering that will be visible during all hours of the day, or add necessary lighting so that your customers... read more
A Guide For Successful Business SignageA good sign is mandatory for the success of any business. When done right, it boosts the public image and creates an appealing first impression for your customers. Signage can also pose as a way to brand your business and increase its core reach. The aim here is to make your sign both attention-grabbing and informative. So if you've got a business and you want to get the best out of your business sign, here are some tips to consider. Keep the info basic In the sign business, less is always more. Signage is a visual marketing strategy, and once you have too much information to process, it becomes less believable on a subconscious level. So try and keep it simple and communicate the most important aspects loud and clear. If it's the slogan you wish to prioritize, then clearly feature it. A business sign should have the name, logo, address and even the URL of the business. You can also include a call to action or slogan to boost your brand. Visibility The visibility is usually affected by a range of factors. Use bold colours because they strike out as visually appealing when they complement each other. However, ensure you contract the background to make the text easily readable. One thing that can make your sign easily memorable is adding a unique graphic, which can be your logo or a catchy photograph. Nonetheless, this graphic should be related to the kind of business you have and also be easily understandable at a single glance. Where your sign is positioned also makes a huge difference. Buildings, trees and power... read more

"Very well, the apartment fits perfectly with the announcement. I am very satisfied, I repasserais by your site if necessary. I had a few questions before leaving, I had easily someone on the phone. Only flat, the french was very fair but I still got my answers."
"Très bien, l'appartement correspond parfaitement à l'annonce. Je suis très satisfaite, je repasserais par votre site si besoin est. J'avais quelques questions avant de partir, j'ai eu facilement quelqu'un au téléphone. Seule bémol, le français étais très juste mais j'ai tout de même obtenu mes réponses."
"A lovely apartment in a fabulous location. Excellent orientation by Enrico. "
"I liked the neighbourhood, partly a working-class quarter. The building, in which this appartment was situated, has an internal garden. My appartment had a little balcony, so a bit of tranquility after being out in Rome the whole day. As promised the Wifi was not working, as supposed to be. This appartment doesn't have his own Wifi. I suppose it makes use of somebody's else Wifi in the building. "
"Great that you had such a good stay. The owner told us that he is changing provider to make sure that the Wifi will always work perfectly."
"The Department covered all our expectations, clean, spacious, quiet at night, ka area is quiet and is well-connected. The very friendly owner"
"El departamento cubrió todas nuestras expectativas, limpio, amplio, silencioso por la noche, ka zona es tranquila y está bien comunicada. El dueño muy amable"
"The location was very good, the subway station cipro is very near, there is a nice supermarket very close, and also a convenience store next door. You can walk to the Vatican. The building is very pleasant, with the inner garden and patios, and from the small balcony you can hear the sounds of the city and relax. The sounds are not intrusive, so you feel you are in a big city but it is quiet enough. The manager Enrico is very nice and efficient the bed linen (sheets) was hot and somewhat coarse. A small investment there would make it even more pleasant, at least in hot summer time"
"Loved the balcony, we could just have our morning coffee and tea (which was available!) there. Shower was good, very much enjoyed the washing machine. Space was sufficient for what we needed - we didn't dine there though. Wifi was great! Enrico kept in touch with us on our way to the apartment and was very flexible about checking out. The bed linen seemed new and unwashed, which didn't feel comfortable the first night. But, thanks to the washing machine this was easily solved. Wine glasses might have been nice (not a big thing)."
"It was great value for money and apartments. From Termini train station could go at once, rather than transfer. Near červar-Fugue so easy, even grocery shopping. Apartment manager: is also very well describe a kind foresight Rome. Feel passionate about Roman history. The House can be made so mild. The Internet is also fast. Shower water was overwhelming. Kitchen cabinets made of fine Italian coffee every morning ready to do. Make sure the right apartment porch Cafe. A simple meal, and drink a cup of coffee is very good. As a whole, without discomfort. Thank you."
"지하철역과 아파트가 가까워서 좋았어요. 테르미니역에서 갈아타지 않고 한 번에 갈 수도 있었고요. 근처에 카르푸가 있어서 장보기도 편했답니다. 아파트 매니저분도 아주 친절하신데다가 로마 설명도 잘해주셨어요. 로마 역사에 대한 열정이 느껴지더라고요. 집은 가정집 같아서 포근했습니다. 인터넷도 빨랐고요. 샤워기 물 수압도 좋았어요. 부엌 찬장에 준비되어 있던 이탈리안 커피도 매일 아침 잘 만들어 마셨어요. 아파트 현관 오른쪽 카페 꼭 가보세요. 간단한 식사나 커피 한 잔 마시기 아주 좋아요. 전체적으로 불편함 없이 잘 지내다 왔습니다. 감사합니다."
"Apartment very correct! Very clean! Enrico (the owner) was very friendly, and gave us information bcp!"
"Appartement très correct ! Très propre ! Enrico ( le proprio) a été très sympathique , et nous a donné bcp d'informations!!"
"Apartment very well located (near the metro station, a market and... the Vatican!). Very nice home. Consistent with the description and very clean apartment. Comfortable bed. Brief all what it takes to enjoy Rome. Liliane"
"Appartement très bien placé (près du métro, d'un marché et... du Vatican!). Accueil très agréable. Appartement conforme à la description et très propre. Lit confortable. Bref tout ce qu'il faut pour profiter de Rome. Liliane"
Anonymous rated his/her apartment stay, but didn't leave any extra comments…
"The place, the area was wonderful, very authentic, like living in a real Roman neighbourhood, saying 'bon giorno' to charming old ladies from our window. We were very well received and aviced by Enrico. The apartment is very well placed, not in the middle of the historic Rome but next to a nearby underground station and quite near to Vatican City. We loved our stay there!! Not really. We just missed a good sharp knife, there were only ones for spreading. "
"The additional service was excellent. We wanted to be called or in advance were we picked up from the airport at a good rate. We could leave the suitcases in management at the return trip and could again through a contact of the lessor arrange airport transportation. The landlord was also easily accessible via his mobile phone. And he spoke good English. He also gave us a map and discussed with us all the highlights of the city. No, the price applied at the quality."
"De bijkomende service was uitstekend. We werden vooraf gebeld of we opgehaald wilden worden van het vliegveld tegen een goed tarief. We konden bij de terugreis de koffers in beheer achterlaten en konden weer via een contact van de verhuurder vervoer naar het vliegveld regelen. De verhuurder was ook goed bereikbaar via zijn gsm. En hij sprak goed Engels. Hij gaf ons ook een plattegrond en besprak met ons alle hoogtepunten van de stad. Nee, de prijs paste bij de kwaliteit."

The recent decision of Hall J in Polon v Dorian [2014] NSWSC 571, involves a claim against a solicitor. It reads something like a masterclass on solicitor's duties to people the solicitor does not consider to be their client, but to whom they make statements and representations.
In this instance, a firm of solicitors were acting for the operators of a bridging finance scheme (scheme). A relatively junior employed solicitor was found to have made representations to the plaintiff, one of the investors, in particular during a presentation to potential investors. Surprise surprise, the investors lost their money and the operators were liquidated or bankrupt. Therefore the solicitors were the plaintiff's only possible means of redress. Hall J concluded that an implied retainer existed between the solicitor and the plaintiff, and that the plaintiff was owed a fiduciary duty.
The case threw up many issues. The solicitor argued that she was merely acting as a conduit and had not endorsed or adopted the representations made. However, for that defence to succeed it was necessary for the solicitor to have placed appropriate qualifications on the information provided, for instance that the information was unverified, qualified, or that further inquiries should be made. This the solicitor did not do. Her statements were found to be unqualified and expressed to be her knowledge and understanding, and as such, an endorsement.
To make matters worse for the solicitor, once the statements were made in that manner, a relationship was established between the plaintiff and the solicitor, such that the solicitor then had an ongoing duty of care to the plaintiff. Therefore, when the solicitor became concerned about the scheme, she had a duty to inform the plaintiff. This circumstance does not put a solicitor into a position of conflict because of a solicitor's general duty to clarify prior statements which are subsequently proven to be incorrect.
Liability against the solicitor was apportioned at 30%, significantly higher than in other proportionate liability decisions involving solicitors. Hall J considered the 'degree of departure from the standard of care of the reasonable man, as regards the causative conduct' of the solicitor and the 'relative importance of the acts and omissions of (the solicitor) and other wrongdoers in causing the economic loss suffered by the plaintiff'.
The case discusses numerous other issues, read the decision at Polon

Dennis Lafargue asked on Good Morning America Monday. Dead? KIDDING! He just wouldn't be engaged to Elizabeth Wisdom, a woman who lived states away from him and who he met through the photo sharing social media service known as Instagram, or, to the cool kids, The Gram. Advertisement You heard it here: selfies -> love. Lafargue and Wisdom first came into contact when he found a photo she'd posted of a trip to Crater Lake, Oregon on her feed, and commented on it. (He also told GMA that he'd looked at a photo she'd posted of a tattoo she'd gotten of some scripture and liked that she was a Christian.) They followed each other and started to comment back and forth, eventually taking the relationship to the next level and deciding to meet in real life. They were together for nine months before Lafargue proposed in June, by using 30 Instagram photos they'd taken while together to lead a path to a barn at Wisdom's grandmother's house that she'd always wanted to be married at (and where they will get married).Lafargue and Wisdom definitely aren't the first Instagram love success story; earlier this year, Molly Erman wrote a piece for The Cut about dating a man she met in a similar fashion. For Instagram, this is a commercial waiting to happen, especially because all the work has already been done for them, good-looking couple and all. [via Business Insider, though the subheader for Adweek's story on the pair is notable the pair because it reads "Love has no filter." What?] Advertisement Images via Instagram of courseReply67 repliesLeave a reply

post #46 of 2255
3/11/10 at 11:20am
The MD sound in a nutshell, or if you prefer, mini review. First, let me start by saying I don't consider the MD or even the Cppoer as a "true" reference set. Rather a means for enjoying the music. Many listeners, will always be chasing a certain sound. For the most part, what they seek is detail, soundstage, and the hardest part, a device that doesn`'t annoy them in the long term. Be it, the highs, mids, boomy bass, what have you.
Now that I've disclosed my take on what I believe most listeners seek. Here we go.
The Miles Davis set, Is rather unique, its rather engaging, yet not the best at any one thing. And for the majority, that's not a problem. The Sound signature is rather warm, but only a little. No part of the spectrum bothers you, if it does, throw away all your iem's.... it may not be a "superstar" but it is inoffensive. Like it or not, that's important.
I have a different perspective when it's just me and the music. At those times, I may want more transparency. More detail. The time when it's just you and the music, is finite. So, with music at the workplace, or working on other tasks, anything that takes just the smallest part of your attention. This is where many iem's will fail you. If I am stressed, a really involving, ultra transparent iem could get me going in the wrong direction. The Miles Davis set, more so than any other iem, I've heard, are enaging enough to enjoy good detail, yet forgiving enough to make every genre very enjoyable.
The mids are a strong point, the bass is deep and punchy. The treble has pretty good extension, and retains enough detail to keep you invloved. Just enough. Kepp those words "just enough" in your mind, where others fail, the MD, and to a large degree, the two MTP iem's give you just that "just enough" . The MD set is inrivaled in the realm of letting you enjoy the music without fatigue, for many, many hours, Treble? Soundstage? Just enough. The mids are very good.......not the best mids of any iem. Pretty close though. I can't honestly point ot anything that should offend a listener, it really does a fantastic job of letting you enjoy the Music. It is not the most sonically accurate iem, and that's not what most people want, most of the time. Indeed, even my jaded ears don't want that at all times. The way the music is presented, the faults are very minor. And if I would compare to the other iem's that pick a different compromise. The MD's win, and it's not so easy to compare to all the others out there. However, pick what you will as your first criterea for the most important aspect for your personal preference. And unless the Very highly transparency of a rare few is it, the MD wins, I would prefer often the transparncy of another pair. However, even though I have a single pair I prefer, that does not offend me, I'm still using the MD's very often. It all comes back to just enough. It can be much more than just enough with some music, it can be outstanding. Yet it is never less than just enough. Upper treble sparkle is not there, for those that are looking for it. However, the treble is very natural sounding. Even the two MTP models sound very similar, I think the MD takes the best route for the long haul and different situations. Piano, strings, voices are all just enough. Why am I taking this approach? Like it or not, what most think they want is almost always not the case. I own the orto EQ7...... which in my view trumps every iem I've ever heard. But I can say without hesitation, that an overwhelming majority will find much more long term happiness, and long hours of enjoyment from the Miles Davis set. It is the single best "compromise" on the market. It doesn't do this or that? Doesn't matter, it is always just enough. Miss the soundstage of th ie8? The ie8 at times can be overdone, as can any other compromise. The MD set is also Close to the Gold, in most areas. I would easily pick the MD of the 3,
I am a very hard to please person. The MD's don't try like so many other iem's to stand out. They instead grow on you day by day. If my impressions don't leave you with enough of an idea, you can pm me. I would deeply appreciate any concerns from current owners via pm. I have seen much controversy over the "MONSTER" name. I am not interseted in defending my view on them. This little impression has been asked for repeatedly by a relative few. I offer my personal opinion for them. And, I hope it is helpful.
Yes. It's very helpful. It's also refreshing to see that while you clearly like the Monsters - you're also quite willing to highlight any flaws (minor or not) that you think they may have. If only more people adopted this attitude instead of flying into tantrums and attacking people when someone comments negatively (on any phone) this place would be a whole lot more useful. Thanks again.
Hey ipondy
No, you don't fall into that group. You would most certainly know if I thought that! As for the Coppers, in my opinion, they're great for long listening periods, unlike the CK10 which were great for short bursts, but very tiring for anything much longer. The Coppers are a good all rounder. Having listened to them for almost 2 weeks now, I still can't find anything negative to say about them, other than (just to be nitpicky) I'd like a bigger soundstage, although it's nothing like as cramped as the UM3X.
If you think of the IE8s, and shrink the soundstage by 30%, strip away a couple of layers of warmth, add a slightly livelier treble and clearer midrange, plus a tighter bass, that's pretty much what I hear with the Coppers. The more I listen, the more I like them. By week two I've generally moved on from the novelty of a new sound and either continue to like it, or hate it with a vengeance. But I'm enjoying the Coppers more each day.
@ soozie...your comparisons concerning the copper, at least in my view are perfectly presented.
I've seen them described as boring, however, ( it's more like not always exciting) We all love exciting, but it's not a long hours type of listen.
To this day I have yet to have any desire to upgrade any of my home or car audio. It continues to put a smile on my face everytime I fire it up.
Couldn't agree more. In addition, other members' opinions to avoid are those who create second ID's to troll the forum, defend their gear and get threads closed down.
They have absolutely no credibility at all. But that's just a little soapbox of mine after seeing some ridiculous behavior recently.
Thanks for the great review Search. How would you say the MD's treble compares with the SE530? One thing I don't like about the SE530 is what I perceive is a rolled off treble.

Former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak was returned to the Tora Prison in Cairo on Friday, after his health was deemed stable, following a stay in hospital.
Mubarak's return to prison was delayed by the gathering of hundreds of supporters outside the hospital who sought to block his return to prison pending continuation of his second trial on charges related to the deaths of Egyptian demonstrators just prior to his ouster.

IT directors in no rush to move to Windows Server 2008
IT directors have given Microsoft's new Windows server operating system, due to be launched this month, a cool reception.
This Article Covers
Operating systems
IT directors have given Microsoft's new Windows server operating system, due to be launched this month, a cool reception.
Windows 2008 Server will allow businesses to upgrade from 32-bit systems to faster 64-bit technology, and offers a range of useful features, including clustering improvements, the Server Core function and password and security enhancements.
How can your business benefit from DevOps?
Let's take a look at six of the development practices that Disciplined Agile Delivery recommends for disciplined DevOps teams.
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.
You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
But many businesses can see no compelling reason to upgrade, said David Roberts, chairman of The Corporate IT Forum, which represents senior UK IT managers. "Windows Server 2008 is not on anyone's radar," he said.
Owen Williams, partner and group head of IT at property firm Knight Frank, said he could see no compelling business case for upgrading to the new server operating system.
"There is neither a technical nor a business reason to upgrade," said Stephen Way, IT director of the precious metal products division at manufacturer Johnson Matthey.
Steve Wright, senior IT analyst, at health services provider Care UK, said there was no business driver to upgrade any of his existing servers to Windows Server 2008 during their expected hardware lifespan. "The earliest I would expect to consider an upgrade would be when the hardware is due for renewal," he said.
Concerns over the compatibility of applications are likely to deter most mainstream businesses from adopting the Windows Server 2008 over the next 12 months, analysts said.
Windows Server 2008 will allow businesses to upgrade to faster 64-bit technology, but delays in developing compatible applications will deter many users, said Beatriz Valle, research analyst at IDC.
"The move to 64-bit requires users to verify that device drivers and security software products are available for the new 64-bit code, which will slow down the speed with which companies can shift from evaluation to deployment," she said.

Pass through the iron doors, mount the marble staircase, and enter a world unto its own, into centuries past. This edifice was built in 1899 by a celebrated French architect for the Alvear family and declared a Historic Monument because of its unique design, age and history. Built around three sumptuous gardens, each window faces the enclosed courtyard, a true French Pied-a-Terre.
100 meters built on 3 separate levels with 15 foot ceilings in the Living Room and Bedroom. The loft entrepiso has a separate sitting room and sleeping area for two with a second bathroom. Walk down 3 steps and enter a built-in kitchen with a washer/dryer and a Formal Dining Room/Den with antique Chinese daybed.
Live in this hidden, secret space: a respite from the present and the madness of the vibrant city surrounding us. Wake to sunshine in the gardens and the sound of birds.
Newly renovated and elegantly appointed with exotic woods, Chinese furnishings and Indian silks, a perfect blend of history and todays' most modern convenience.
Located on the border of Recoleta and Barrio Norte, just 5 blocks from the famous Recoleta Cemetery. Within walking distance to the most elegant shopping and restaurants. There are 5 outdoor fruit/vegetable markets and 3 large supermarkets within a two block radius.
Private Spanish and tango lessons can be arranged. Two doormen will assist as concierge for every need and the owner lives in the building. Private car and driver available for airport transportation and touring for a nominal fee.
It will comfortably accommodate 4 persons, however it is not suitable for children or animals.
Built over 120 years ago, it is the oldest French building in this part of Recoleta. It is rumored that this architect designed a sister building in Paris. It is constructed courtyard style around three gardened patios so all the windows open to the gardens. We are buffered from all the street noise just outside the front entrance, so we live in silence and awaken with the birds.
Stayed here for two weeks and loved every minute. The apartment is quite marvelous, beautifully maintained, absolute top quality furnishings, linens, towels and everything you might need in the kitchen. The added treat are the gardens on the grounds. You can enjoy trees, flowers, and birds chirping, and no traffic noise, something not heard of in Buenos aires. The location is excellent, near shops, cafes, food stores, good restaurants and a short distance to centro, San Telmo , museums etc. The owner is absolutely an angel. She is also a gifted artist and has created many of the exquisite pieces one can enjoy in the apartment. She was helpful with everything including making recommendations for restaurants to referring a dentist when I needed one. . Would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone who enjoys beautiful surroundings and a peaceful setting. The owner and the apartment are absolute gems
If I could give this apartment more than 5 stars, I would. This wonderful apartment has everything one could hope for, with the added bonus of having Anne Elizabeth, the owner, as one of the most gracious and hospitable hosts ever. First, some notes about the apartment.
Too often you book online on the basis of reviews and photos, only to be disappointed upon arrival. Not in this case. If anything, the apartment exceeded my high expectations. It's exactly as represented in photos -- art-filled, beautifully decorated, well appointed, quiet, and in a terrific and safe location. The neighborhood is filled with wonderful restaurants, shops, and greengrocers. And it's within easy walking distance of numerous attractions in Recoleta and Palermo, including multiple museums and Recoleta's famed cemetery.
What makes the apartment even more special, however, is Anne Elizabeth herself. As others have mentioned, she refused to accept a deposit to hold the apartment (telling me that if it made me feel better, I could of course give her something in advance). Who does something like that in this day and age?! She contacted me before my arrival to ask about my needs, and stocked the refrigerator accordingly with fruit, yogurt, empanadas and the most divine squash ravioli, along with bottles of Malbec and water.
I was a first-time visitor to Argentina and a solo female traveler. Throughout my six-day stay, Anne Elizabeth regularly checked in to see if there was anything I needed. She recommended places to shop and eat based on my personal interests, shared with me copies of some of her favorite books, printed out online ticket purchases and boarding passes, and even filled a flash drive with movies she thought I would enjoy watching. She truly went above and beyond. And, Anne Elizabeth lives in the building, so she is readily available if a last-minute need comes up.
I've been singing the praises of Anne Elizabeth and her beautiful apartment to everyone I know, and look forward to returning in the future.
Anne was very welcoming and we enjoyed staying in her clean, well-kept, quiet apartment. The location was great; it was centrally located and allowed us to go around the city predominantly using the subway system. There are excellent restaurants around and nearby grocery/bakery/produce stores, just around the corner. We'll be back!
The apartment is spectacular: new, very clean and with style. Better as the pictures!! We enjoyed our days in Buenos Aires and look forward to going back to the same place. Nice neighborhood, very safe and close to everything. Highly recommended ! And the owner is simply the best. Thanks for the warm welcome Anne !!
Am an 'architectural tourist' on my first trip to BA and spent 8 days here this spring. Set in the middle of Recoleta, this is perhaps the quietest, most comfortable VRBO rental I have experienced. Located in the back of an intimate, well maintained set of courtyards, the apartment has high ceilings, wood floors, gorgeous furnishings with all kitchen and bath appointments one would expect. It is an easy walking distance to the sights of Recoleta in a safe, well populated area with lots of restaurants, stores and attractions. Best of all was Anne Elizabeth: beyond knowledgeable, beyond helpful, she is your long lost family member who made our stay perfect. thank you Anne Elizabeth. EAC-San Antonio, Tx
My wife and I stayed here for a week, along with another couple. The apartment is ideally located in the Recoleta neighborhood, a short walk from shopping and many attractions. It is situated in an interior courtyard, which minimizes any street noise. With a fully-appointed kitchen and a beautiful small dining room, we were able to buy fish and pasta in the nearby shops and enjoy home-cooked dinners in the evenings. Anne Elizabeth was very helpful in navigating around the city, and very accommodating. We very much enjoyed our week in Recoleta!
Beautiful 5 stars!!

I hate to be a stickler but the Antipodes of Nea Zealand lies in or off the coast of Spain. I have therefore deleted the claim Graemec2 09:43, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
The use of the spelling Zeeland in English is incorrect according to traditional English spelling. The Dutch province, after which New Zealand is named, has always been spelt Zealand in English. The use of the same name and spelling for the Danish island came into use later. Spellings such as Zeeland/Zeelandic and Friesland/Friesian are not acceptable English spellings (they should be Zealand/Zealandic, Frisia/Frisian), although they are used in Wikipedia, and arise from improper knowledge of English orthographic tradition by Dutch contributors to Wikipedia. -AvL 15 January 2006
- I doubt this. I looked it up in two reference sources, in the Van Dale Handwoordenboek Nederlands-Engels (1996), which translates 'Friesland' as 'Friesland' and 'Zeeland' as 'Zeeland' (but at the same time, 'Noord-Brabant' is translated as 'North Brabant'); and secondly, the New Lexicon Webster's Dictionary of the English language (1991), which lists under 'Zealand' only the Danish Island, and under 'Zeeland' the Dutch province; also, it lists 'Friesland' (not only for the Dutch province, but also for the entire region) but not 'Frisia' - however, the adjective it uses is 'Frisian' (without 'e'). It seems that, at the very least, the authorities are divided - do you have anything to substantiate your point of view?
- The common usage on Wikipedia seems to be that Friesland refers to the Dutch province, whereas Frisia seems to refer to the entire region that stretches out from the Netherlands to Denmark. Joost 23:51, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Here's a really good example to substantiate my point of view on the spelling "Zealand": consider the spelling of "New Zealand"!!! Also, according to the Prisma Woordenboek Nederland-Engels: "Zeeland > Zealand". Historically Zealand played a much more dominant role on the world stage than today, and many languages had their own variants of the province's name: la Zélande, Zelanda, Seeland, Zealand, etc. Now that the region is all but forgotten by most, people often erroneously use the Dutch name in place of their own form of the name. I will concede on one point, namely the Friesland/Frisia question. According to the Concise Oxford Dictionary: "Frisian > (Native, language) of Friesland." So, Friesland in English for the Dutch province. But NOT "Friesian" for the language! AvL 25 January 2006
- I agree that Friesian with 'ie' is a misspelling (except - apparently - when it concerns certain cows, but I won't make any claims about that). It is only used a few times here on Wikipedia, however, and in general the adjective Frisian is used. About Zeeland: yes, New Zealand is a pointer that, historically, the province may also have been spelled Zealand, but it seems that nowadays, the authorities simply have differing opinions, and I think it goes too far to say that one is simply wrong. So I suggest to edit any occurence of Friesian to Frisian, but other than that just to keep things as they are, as there is nothing which is clearly wrong according to contemporary standards. The article on Zealand (the Danish island) has a redirect to Zeeland at the top, so this shouldn't cause much problems, either. Perhaps it would be better, though, to start the article with: "Zeeland, in English also called Zealand, etc..." Joost 11:02, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Or: "Zeeland, traditionally spelt Zealand in English, hence 'New Zealand'"... I checked some more sources today; the usage of neither spelling seems to be consistently applied (ehhh... anymore!). Anyway, this is the very last I'm going to contribute to the matter; though not a linguistic purist, I suppose I prefer to stick to tradional spellings and somewhat bemoan the loss of usages that are particular to a certain region... AvL 26 January 2006
"It has also been suggested that Captain Cook assumed Nieuw Zeeland was named after the island of Zealand, Denmark": Suggested by whom? By a contributor to Wikipedia? Obviously not by any contemporary of Captain James Cook himself! This cannot but be the speculations of someone who is not knowledgeable of the place that Zealand (Netherlands) holds in maritime history! One must not assume that this Zealand has always been the backwater Dutch province it had become by the twentieth century. It is not by any accident that New Zealand is named as such, and not for instance New Drenthe or New Limburg. Zealand held for a long period after the independence of the Northern Netherlands from Habsburg rule the place of a more or less autonomous state, and even founded its own colonies. Surinam was a colony exclusively governed by the Estates of Zealand from 1667 to 1682; Paramaribo was originally called Nieuw-Middelburg. Also the Berbice (Guyana) and Demerary were Zealandic colonies, and Tobago fell to Zealandic hands for some time. From 1745 to 1770 Dutch (Hollandic) ships were even prohibited from entering the waters of Demerary! Also, to this day both the arms of Holland and Zealand -in equal proportions- can be seen gracing the old port in Mauritius. It is then also entirely implausible that a well-travelled eighteenth century sea captain like James Cook might have confused the name Zeeland with that of the Danish island of Zealand (Sjaelland) and not have known the traditional English name for the Netherlandic province of Zeeland (Zealand). In fact, I would even hazard to guess that the use of Zealand for Sjaelland came into being later than for the Netherlandic Zealand, and perhaps is even copied from it. The other bits in this portion of the article about sound shifts that might have changed "Nieuw-Zeeland" to "New Zealand" are also rooted in the lack of understanding that Zealand is simply the traditional English name for Zeeland. I still remain adamant that the article should also be titled Zealand and not Zeeland; the arguments of contributors that the English language has no institution dictating the usage for names does not mean that one is justified in bringing changes to a language in an encyclopaedia. An encyclopaedia is meant to mirror current and traditional usage, and is not the place to effect change. Moreover, tradition itself may be seen as being the institution that dictates appropriate English language usage. -A Zealandic-Canadian- 19 May 2006
Requested move[edit]
- I totally agree with above! I'm from the Netherlands, but my conclusion is also that the Enlgish name of Zeeland should be "Zealand". The title "Zeeland" is not according to the Wikipedia:Naming conventions. So, therefore I will put the template {move|new title} in top of this article. My suggestion is to rename this article to: Zealand (Netherlands). Demophon (talk) 02:32, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Roosevelt family ancestral home[edit]
Should we mention that the ancestral home of the Roosevelt Family (FDR, TR, etc.) is located in Zeeland? 04:48, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- Maybe interesting for the Roosevelt family - merely trivia here. Arnoutf (talk) 21:32, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps it's interesting to mention the specific religious situation in Zeeland? In Zeeland are many strict-calvinist churches, Zeeland has an interesting place in Dutch church-history especialy for the so-called 'bevindelijk gereformeerden'. My English is pretty bad :), so I can't do it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 12:35, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

A Campbellsville native author is hoping to take his book to television.
Deronte' L. Smith recently stopped in his hometown on his latest book tour for "The Fantastical Adventures of Sleepy Steve: Reuniting the Stone."
The tween book first came out in 2005 under his publishing company, Infinity One Publisher.
He first toured with Sleepy Steve for three years. Then the market changed from paper to digital.
The Campbellsville Police Department was out in full force the Friday before Christmas. Only this time, when officers pulled residents over they weren't getting tickets, but gift cards.
An anonymous secret Santa and Mrs. Claus donated 10 Visa gift cards valued at $20 each to be handed out at random in the community.
The "Claus couple" donates money each year to a different charity, and this year they wanted to pay it forward through the hands of the police department.
Police are still looking for an unknown man accused of robbing a check-cashing business on Christmas Eve.
According to a Campbellsville Police Department press release, on the morning of Saturday, Dec. 24, a tall male with an unknown type of handgun approached a Check Into Cash employee at 729 Campbellsville Bypass while they were on duty inside the business, took money at gunpoint and fled on foot with an unknown amount of cash.
A murder suspect pleaded not guilty Tuesday at his third arraignment hearing.
Jorge Serrano Gavarrete, 20, remains lodged in Taylor County Detention Center on a $1,000,000 bond. He's been housed there since Sept. 19.
At Tuesday's arraignment hearing, Taylor County Circuit Judge Allan Bertram appointed public defender Shanda West-Stiles from the Department of Public Advocacy to represent him.
The Kentucky State Police are restarting the Trooper Teddy program.
Trooper Teddy is an agency program that provides teddy bears to children in distress. Bears are given to children involved in situations such as exposure to dangerous drugs, being present when parents are arrested, involvement in a crash or in any kind of crisis.
The program is designed to establish trust between the Trooper and child, while reducing stress to a child during a traumatic incident.
The Taylor County Historical Society and Taylor County Museum are looking for historical documents detailing the histories of some of Taylor County's communities.
"If people would call us and tell us that they would like us to come to their areas, we'd be happy to," said local historian Betty Jane Gorin-Smith. "This is kind of a once-in-a-lifetime thing."
Hundreds of local children had a merry Christmas, thanks to gifts delivered Saturday morning by the local Toys for Tots and Toys for Kids programs.
Toys for Tots has been operated locally by Campbellsville/Taylor County EMS since the 1960s, according to event coordinator Denise Gupton. The Toys for Kids program has been operated by Campbellsville Fire & Rescue since the 1970s, according to Lisa Harris, who serves as director of the program.
While they are two separate programs, the two departments do work together.
State Sen. Max Wise (R-Campbellsville) and State Rep. Bam Carney (R-Campbellsville) announced a town hall discussion regarding upcoming legislative issues as it relates to educational policy legislation for the 2017 session of the Kentucky General Assembly.
This event is intended for any current or former Kentucky educator or anyone who has a vested interest in Kentucky's educational system.
Topics of discussion will include charter schools and education reform under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) among other pressing education priorities.
Two students from Taylor County High School will soon be named Murakami Scholars, thanks to a new agreement between Eastern Kentucky University, Murakami Manufacturing and Taylor County Schools.
The program will forge an alliance between Murakami Manufacturing, a Tier 1 automotive supplier, Taylor County Schools and EKU to provide a $1,000 annual scholarship and paid internship to help two graduates from Taylor County Schools attend and graduate from EKU's applied engineering management program.
Taylor County Commonwealth's Attorney Shelly Miller announced earlier this month that they are seeking the death penalty in the Rocky Ashby murder case.
Ashby, 36, faces charges of murder – domestic violence, a Class A felony; second-degree burglary, a Class C felony; and first-degree wanton endangerment, a Class D felony, charges that date back to a reported murder on July 16 of this year.

Sen. John McCainJohn McCainDrug importation won't save dollars or lives Dem rep Charlie Crist files for divorce Why the GOP cannot sweep its Milo scandal under the rug MORE (R-Ariz.) said Sunday that former Defense Secretary Robert Gates should have waited to release his tell-all memoir.
Gates's memoir, Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War, takes aim at President Obama, saying that the president did not believe in the war strategy he was carrying out in Afghanistan.
On CNN's "State of the Union," McCain said he would have waited longer before releasing the book, although he added that he didn't think Gates should have waited until the war in Afghanistan was over.
"I think, frankly, I might have. If I was giving him advice, I would have waited," McCain said.
"As far as waiting until it's over in Afghanistan, I wouldn't have done that. But maybe retrospect of a little longer than now," he said.
McCain said he understood why Gates wanted to publish the book and said he respected "his ability to voice his views anytime he wants to."
"He's obviously very frustrated, which by the way surprised all of us that know him, and decided to really let loose," McCain said.
