My wife was on the NJROTC shooting team in high school, won several trophies for the team too. Point being she shoots right handed, but is left eye dominant. With handguns it's not nearly as hard to shoot right handed and aim with the left eye.
Quote from: Vibe on July 02, 2013, 02:30:36 PMMy wife was on the NJROTC shooting team in high school, won several trophies for the team too. Point being she shoots right handed, but is left eye dominant. With handguns it's not nearly as hard to shoot right handed and aim with the left eye. There are always exceptions....For "some" maybe it's not an issue...For MANY, it is! :)
... I like the idea of seeing the hammer, not just a little rear dot indicator on some striker fired guns. I am very visual and seeing that hammer is comfort and feedback that I think will serve me well in being a safe shooter...
... Has anyone bought/sold through www.gunbroker.com - ...
Kel-tec is only an hour away from me. I've got the .32, the .380, and the 9mm. I had the same problems with the .380 at first but the factory fixed it up while I waited at their walk up window. I found that the ammo you use has a lot to do with double feed on the older models too. I always have the 32 in the small of my back and can't tell it's there. Moots, let me know what you want for yours!John, as Kathy suggests, go to the gun shop and handle everything they've got. You'll soon find where your tastes lie. Don't shy away from walther either...the p22 is the most comfortable grip for me although a small caliber.Scott
Yes, I've been throwing the thought to get my Permit to Purchase (NJ Jargon) for getting a weapon. Basically, the permit is to purchase, up to two weapons, the permit is good for three months, but can be extended another 3 months.No, my victim being a victim of mild road rage did not sway me over the top, it has been coming a long time, well beyond the year I have given it more thought. Remember, this is a big deal to me and the State of NJ who has had background checks, no conceal carry (except in extreme cases) and surely no weapon accessible in an automobile.That said, here is where you all come in: I want the weapon for home protection, I don't want a revolver, nor a pistol with excessive noise, flash or something overkill for home protection.I don't need lists of your armory, just a description of your favorite hand-helds and why they are your favorite, especially keeping in mind my wife and I have little to no experience.After a few dozen Youtube videos, I like a double-action/single action combo, just seems a bit safer before firing and fast re-fire after that. I also like a rubberized or composite material, both the look and the feel, I love the bright colors alignment guides too.Again, I'm just window shopping for what I might like, I'll be taking coworkers who have a good selection of weapons to the gun-range to get the final feel for what is right for me and her. We will both go obviously.The wait time is around 2.5-3 months, lots of time to learn what I can and to find out from owner what is their favorite handgun and why. Oh, I also like the conceal carry sized weapons, not the super small, but something that fits nicely in smaller hands but gets the job done if ever needed. I was told by my most savvy gun owner - a great hunter from crossbow, to flint rifle to a miriad of stockpiled weapon that a 38 special is a good all around weapon because of multiple ammo options, size and recoil - all important things.A BIG consideration too is I'm left-handed. I want a semi-auto and wondering if the shell expeller (sic)is an issue - are there left-handed guns, does it really make that much difference to even consider this point. I just know there are a thousand questions I don't know enough to even ask.But for reference, I plan on two handguns, on in the living room safely stowed to the rear of a stand besides my comfy chair and the second in the bedroom. Ideally, I want to rounds in the chamber, I want a full clip and just a slide away from being armed and very ready if needed.As always, I'm a rookie seeking out your knowledge, I know I'll learn some things with this post. A question that bugs me, is why does the Glock barrel seem to point upwards rather than parallel - is that an illusion?Lastly, keep in mind ammo cost and availability, I expect to spend some time at the range and I know that can get expensive quickly.
I don't stick mine in my trousers.
For less expense don't buy a gun! start a new trend. :) you know it makes sense.
I am also looking for a small conceal carry. Any feedback on the kahr cw380 vs Ruger LCP? Or the Kahr cw40?http://www.gunblast.com/Kahr-CW380.htm

County legacy • Outgoing Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon should be feeling good about his legacy following Tuesday's election. Another Democrat, Ben McAdams, will move into the office Corroon decided to vacate when his second term expires this year. Voters approved a $47 million bond for a new park and completion of trails and other regional parks in the county. Although the County Council rejected Corroon's initial $123 million park bond proposal that would have helped the county catch up on park maintenance projects, 56 percent of his voting constituents supported the more modest ballot proposal. And voters in Millcreek Township rejected incorporation by a wide margin, essentially giving Corroon's outgoing administration a vote of confidence. We hope Corroon doesn't leave the political scene permanently. Utahns need more leaders like him.
Lining up at polls • Utah voters turned out in large numbers on Election Day, and the state recorded the highest participation yet in early voting, in person and by mail. In fact, in the highest turnout this century, about 75 percent of registered voters cast ballots. That's about 1.5 million Utahns. And, it must be noted, about that percentage of voters put their mark next to the name of Mitt Romney for president. The opportunity to support the man many Utahns consider a favorite son is probably a big reason for the high turnout. It was also the first election in which Utahns could vote in four congressional races instead of three, and the campaign in the new 4th Congressional District was a heated one, between Republican Mia Love and longtime Democratic Congressman Jim Matheson. We hope that, in a state that traditionally lags in voter turnout compared to the nation, this happy trend continues.
No new city • Voters in Millcreek Township rejected a ballot measure Tuesday to make their community Salt Lake County's 17th city. Residents of Millcreek, East Millcreek, Canyon Rim and Olympus Cove were not swayed by arguments that the township is not well-represented by the Salt Lake County Council. No member of the council lives in the area. Unofficial results show incorporation failed by a 60 to 40 percent margin. The rejection was the right decision. Higher taxes would have been almost inevitable if the township became a city. The incorporation effort, which may not be dead, according to proponents, prompted county officials to be more responsive to the needs of the area. And that's a win for everyone in Millcreek.

Frequent password resets coupled with a complex password policy, pave way for a secure environment but remembering these passwords is indeed a challenge for a domain user, leading to frequent Account Lockouts. ADSelfService Plus web based self service end user account unlock solution allows a domain user to self unlock his Active Directory account through a web browser and from any remote machine in the domain securely, and with ease.
Several attempts of incorrect logins forces an LDAP account lockout. Calling a helpdesk technician to unlock your account adds as an additional ticket to the support staff and forces users to wait unproductively until the ticket is attended. ADSelfService Plus software saves users from frustrating and unproductive waits for helpdesk to unlock locked out accounts. This end-user self-service tool allows users to manage accounts on their own by allowing them to securely unlock their account from a web console by answering a set of validation questions and also without revealing his identity password information.
For any self-service software, the foremost duty is to establish the identity of the user requesting account unlock self-service. ADSelfService Plus employs two techniques in order to verify and establish the identity of a user:
In the first case, the user answers a set of predefined security questions and in the second method, the user has to successfully reproduce the verification code sent to his mobile or e-mail id to establish his identity. You can choose to exercise both these user identification methods for enhanced security. Learn more about the need and benefits of Identity Verification process.
An Administrator notifies all users in the domain to enroll with ADSelfService Plus with the bulk emailing facility in the software. The users can enroll into the web console by selecting from a list of preset questions and providing corresponding answers to them. The user can define his own set of questions also. The administrator can limit the number and types of questions that an enduser has to conform. He can ensure a secure enrollment process by configuring settings from the admin console of ADSelfService Plus.
Enrollment authorizes end-users to self-service their AD passwords/accounts/profiles.
The various configuration options available for an Administrator during the enrollment process are,
Administrators can also choose to enable SMS/E-mail verification code check. Enrollment is not required should you choose only SMS/E-mail verification code, as ADSelfService Plus automatically collects the required information (mobile number and e-mail id) of the user from Active Directory.
Reports on accounts and password status arms the administrator to take proactive measures and inform users on their password status. ADSelfService Plus facilitates generation of comprehensive reports on Locked out users, Soon to expire password users, and Password expired users. The reports provide information on account and password status.
ADSelfService Plus provides domain users automated soon to expire password notifications that notify users of an impending password expiry via email. Forewarning users prevents account lockouts due to password expiry by proactively advising them change their passwords.
Save your users from frustrating account lockouts due to expired Windows passwords in your LDAP. Lower support calls, keep users productive, and reduce the added overhead costs associated with supporting a change-password windows environment. ADSelfService makes a self service end user account unlock possible using a web browser from any remote machine in the network.
Synchronize Windows Active Directory password/account changes made using ADSelfService Plus across multiple platforms. When a user makes changes to his Windows Active Directory password/account using ADSelfService Plus, the changes are automatically reflected in other systems too. If a user unlocks his Windows AD account through ADSelfService Plus, his locked out accounts in other systems, if any, will also get automatically unlocked. Learn more about Password Synchronizer.
Some other benefits of ADSelfService Plus - Self Service Reset Password Management
Free Active Directory users from attending lengthy help desk calls by letting them self-service the password reset task. Password reset just a click away with ADSelfService Plus!
Hassle-free password change for Active Directory users with ADSelfService Plus. Without help desk assistance users can change their passwords from 'Change Password' console.
Portal that lets Active Directory users update their latest information without the help desk assistance. Self-update feature also ensures that Active Directory database is up-to-date with the user profile changes.
Synchronize Windows Active Directory user password/account changes across multiple systems automatically.
A quick search facility that enables Active Directory users to scout for information about peers by using search keys like phone no., e-mail id, first/ last name of the personality being searched.

Ritchie Scores 1,000th Point in Win Over UIndy
By Justin Grones
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - With a three from the wing at the 4:16 mark in the first half, senior Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.) became the 30th member of the Green Bay women's basketball program's 1,000 point club as Green Bay (5-1) never relinquished its lead and posted a 64-52 victory over the University of Indianapolis (4-1) on Friday night at the Kress Center.
Shooting 50 percent from the floor, UIndy jumped ahead early in the first half and led by as many as seven points. With 4:16 remaining in the half a wide-open Ritchie, who battled the flu this week, overcame early shooting woes and drilled a three from the wing to give the Phoenix the lead for good at 26-24. With the triple Ritchie hit 1,002 career points, becoming the 17th player to accomplish this feat since the Phoenix became a Division I program in 1987.
Ritchie capped off her historic night with 16 points, four rebounds, a game-high seven assists and a career-high six steals.
"We've had a lot of 1,000 point scorers in this program, and it's why the program succeeds because Adrian Ritchie is one of those players. I don't know of a player that has ever worked harder than her. When I watched her play in high school, we knew she was the next kid in line so I'm not surprised at all," head coach Kevin Borseth said.
With Green Bay leading 37-30 at the half, the second half opened with a scoring drought of more than four minutes by both teams. At the 15:58 mark, Ritchie found senior Lydia Bauer (Lake Zurich, Ill.) in the paint to put the first points of the second half on the board. Bauer finished with a game-high 18 points.
The Greyhounds came within six points late in the game, but Green Bay was able to hold on for the win to improve to 5-1 overall and 2-0 at home.
"The team really gutted it out and played hard tonight. We did a lot of things well statistically, but we could have done a better job of containing on defense. Even with the things we did right, we still had to fight for this one," Borseth said.
Senior Stephanie Sension (Hopkins, Minn.) posted 13 points and a game-high eight rebounds for the Phoenix, while Megan Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) scored eight points to go along with four assists and three steals. Breannah Ranger (Skokie, Ill.) posted seven points, seven rebounds and two blocks in 12 minutes.
Winning its lone home contest in a 30-day stretch, Green Bay will hit the road again next week, first traveling to take on Central Michigan for the second time this season on Wednesday, Dec. 5 at 11 a.m. The Phoenix opened the season with a 75-48 victory over the Chippewas and will look to win its third straight matchup against CMU. Green Bay will then travel south to Milwaukee to take on Marquette on Saturday, Dec. 8 at 2 p.m. The Phoenix won't play at home again until Dec. 18 when North Dakota State travels to the Kress Center.

Great news that Ancestry now has the complete 1911 census indexed, it still has the final column that asks about infirmities covered, but no doubt that will be revealed in due course.
The 1911 is important, as all the census are, but especially so as not many years afterwards WW1 started and many of the young men recorded on this census went off to fight the war to end all wars. What a wonderful concept that was and it must have been a great rallying cry for recruitment. We all know that it didn't work out like that, but as I work through the census adding the information to my genealogy I shall give a special thought to those of my ancestors who didn't return for the fields of France.


text: We are all Wisconsinites! An estimated 1,000 labor activists, including hundreds of MTA members, crowded Beacon Hill for a sunset rally February 22 in support of Wisconsin workers, who are facing down a threat to their collective bargaining rights. Hundreds more packed the area surrounding Springfield City Hall. "We are here because we believe that public employees should have a voice in their profession," MTA President Paul Toner said as he addressed the Boston crowd of union members that included educators, social workers, nurses, tradespeople and other professionals, public and private. "We are here because we believe that all workers should have a say in their future." "We don't need to attack public sector workers to make change," said Governor Deval Patrick, one of the last speakers to take the podium in Boston. "We are all in this together." Representing her fellow educators, MTA board member Elizabeth Shevlin said, "Collective bargaining protects our students now and in the future. Collective bargaining gives teachers a voice in how our schools run on a day to day basis to improve our schools and classrooms. Collective bargaining keeps class sizes low – promising every student the attention he or she deserves from a qualified teacher." The Boston rally was also addressed by Massachusetts Congressmen Edward Markey, Michael Capuano, and Stephen Lynch. Markey, referring to a small counter rally of Tea Party members near the State House said: "We just had in Washington a huge battle last week which resulted in the Tea Party take over of the United States House of Representatives cutting education...cutting out our future. ...In Wisconsin what we're seeing is an attempt by the Tea Party to take over an entire state. The Tea Party is across the street protesting this rally. The Tea Party is defending the billionaires. The unions are defending the workers." Capuano declared, "Today, I am a Cheesehead!" Lynch made note of the original Boston Tea Party, "The colonists threw the tea overboard. The colonists didn't throw teachers overboard. The colonists didn't throw the senior citizens overboard. The colonists didn't throw kids overboard on Head Start." Many other union officers and members and some state legislators also expressed their support for the Wisconsin workers. Marc Lewis, president of the Acton-Boxborough Education Association, carried a placard decorated with the University of Wisconsin badger mascot and the slogan, "Not on the backs of Wisconsin Workers." "Some of my favorite people in the whole world are public employees in Wisconsin," said the 1994 UW Madison graduate. "So if I couldn't be in Madison, I'm glad to be in Boston to let them know we'll be with them all the way." Meanwhile, across the Commonwealth, MTA was well represented at the Springfield rally. "This is not the time to overturn collective bargaining," Will Rice of the Agawam Teachers Association said at the Springfield rally. "We support all workers and are very proud of our brothers and sisters in Wisconsin for standing up to this regressive assault on all workers." Additional photos, videos and coverage of the Boston and Springfield rallies will be published on this website, our Facebook page, and in the April/May issue of MTA Today. Rally Photos on Flickr Video of Springfield Rally Remarks from MTA President Paul Toner Thank you all for coming out here today. I am proud to stand with my fellow labor leaders, union members, friends and supporters to show our support for the working men and women of Wisconsin. We are here because we believe that public employees should have a voice in their profession.We are here because we believe that all workers should have a say in their future.We are here because we oppose the strong-arm, anti-union, anti-worker, anti-educator, anti-social worker, anti-parks employee, anti-EMT, anti-trash collector, anti-senior advocate, anti-youth worker actions of Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin.Don't let Governor Walker fool you. This is not about public employee pay and benefits in Wisconsin. The public employees there have already said they are willing to take significant cuts in their benefits to help balance the budget. Walker won't take "yes" for an answer because he has another agenda. His agenda is to smash the unions and permanently shift the balance of power away from workers and onto management and the corner office – his office.To this we say take a walk Governor Walker. This has nothing to do with helping the economy in Wisconsin. If it did, why would Governor Walker be pointing a dagger at the heart of the economy? Because we all know that economies suffer when public services suffer. Strong economies need educated workers, safe roads and bridges, working street lights, effective fire protection, clean, drinkable water, good public transportation, healthy residents – and so many other benefits brought to you by public employees.In Massachusetts, we are fortunate to have a strong collective bargaining law and elected leaders who respect our rights under that law. We do not face the same kind of attacks that public employees are facing in Wisconsin and in other states. But our voices must be heard throughout the nation. We are here to show our support for those who are under attack because an attack on workers in one place can quickly turn into an attack on workers everywhere.Today, we are all Wisconsinites! Thank you!

July 10, 2013
KAZAN, Russia -- The 2013 USA Basketball Women's World University Games Team (2-0) jumped ahead 8-0 in the first 80 seconds of the contest and the quick lead would never be threatened in a 101-61 win over Czech Republic (1-1) on Tuesday night at Miras Sports Complex.
Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis (University of Connecticut/Anaheim Hills, Calif.) scored a game-high 19 points on 8-of-14 shooting, and Aaryn Ellenberg (University of Oklahoma/Las Vegas, Nev.) scored 10 of her 12 points in the first quarter to set the tone for the USA.
Tennessee's Ariel Massengale provided a strong defensive effort for USA, playing aggressively and snaring two steals to tie for the team lead. She also added a pair of assists, a rebound and five points. She connected on two of three shots from the field, including one of two from three-point range.
"I thought our defensive intensity, really set the tone for the game," said USA head coach Sherri Coale (University of Oklahoma). "We came out strong out of the gates in both the first and second half, but I thought it was our defensive intensity that set the stage. Czech Republic can really shoot that ball. They have a lot of players who can score in a lot of different ways, but we sped them up. They got some looks, but they were rushed, everything was rushed, and we made them play a little faster than they were comfortable with playing."
Tricia Liston (Duke University/River Forest, Ill.) had 14 points and Crystal Bradford (Central Michigan University/Detroit, Mich.) scored 11 points, while Odyssey Sims (Baylor University/Irving, Texas) added 13 points and a game-high six assists as the USA shot 50.0 percent from the field (39-78 FGs). Bradford and Jordan Hooper (University of Nebraska/Alliance, Neb.) tied for the team lead with seven rebounds each.
The USA forced 22 turnovers and limited Czech Republic to just 38.7 percent shooting from the field (24-62 FGs). Czech Republic's 22 giveaways led to 21 points for the USA, while 13 U.S. turnovers led to just four points for Czech Republic. The USA notched 13 steals for the game with four players, Massengale, Ellenberg, Liston and Theresa Plaisance (Louisiana State University/New Orleans, La.), each recording two steals apiece.
Plaisance opened the scoring with a layup assisted by Sims with 9:23 left in the opening quarter before Ellenberg and Mosqueda-Lewis each hit quick 3-pointers to build an instant 8-0 lead. Ellenberg would score seven additional points in the period to lead the USA to a 21-11 lead after the first frame.
Czech Republic trailed by 13 points late in the second quarter when Mosqueda-Lewis took control of the final minute of the first half. Capitalized by a driving layup made while drawing a foul at the halftime buzzer, Mosqueda-Lewis scored eight points in the final 37 seconds before the break to push the U.S. lead to more than 20 points for the first time at 48-27 at halftime. Mosqueda-Lewis also would score the first basket of the third quarter to register a 10-0 run on her own.
Czech Republic would never get closer than 21 points after the halftime intermission as the U.S. lead continued to expand to as many as 42 points at 101-59 after Massengale hit a 3-pointer with 33 seconds remaining in the contest.
Next up for the USA is a Group B meeting with Brazil (1-1), who defeated Mali (0-2) 78-51 Tuesday, on July 10 at 12:30 p.m. Kazan time (4:30 a.m. ET). The earlier start time means a quick turnaround for the USA, as its game against Czech Republic ended after 10:00 p.m. local time.
"Fortunately we were able to play a lot of people, especially late in the game," said Coale on how she will manage the short break. "I think again, having that depth tomorrow will help as we can play a lot of people again. There is not a big drop off from one through 12, so being able to keep them fresh I think is good. It will be a challenge, there is no doubt. These guys are wound up, and they have to go back, shower and it gets to be pretty late. A day off follows, and so they can tough it out."
The USA will conclude preliminary round play against Brazil, before teams are seeded for the medal quarterfinals on July 12 to compete for first through eighth places. The remaining teams will play out for ninth to 16th places. The semifinals will be played on July 13, and the finals will be contested on July 15.
A victory over Brazil would give the USA the top seed out of Group B and set up a meeting in the quarterfinals with the two-seed out of Group A, which will be the loser of Wednesday's match-up between Russia and Sweden.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Let me first qualify this by saying that I have limited experience and this is my first post. So here goes...I agree with everything that has been said, but I think it needs to be added that 'if you're headed down wind in a blow, go with the head sail. If you headed to weather go with the main.' (Of course you have to have a roller furling or a storm jib to do this.) My experience with this was on a chartered Beneteau 39. I put in a double reef on the outbound leg to weather. Everything went perfectly. I went with a single reef on the way back the next day. Even sheeted in with the traveler out only a foot I had so much weather helm that the rudder wouldn't hold when surfing down the waves. Had I rolled out a little headsail and left the main stowed the boat would have tracked right home (and I wouldn't have had to put on my harness and wrestle the main down in heaving seas).
I'd love to hear the forum's thoughts on this. Thanks, Bob
Having endured two Force 10 storms at sea, here's what I've learned: be as familiar with your boat as you can; know how to fix and have stuff to fix it with for every critical function on your boat; understand that no matter what you plan for - something else will happen.
Every boat is different and will react differently in a blow. When we were screaming downwind in the second storm, one of the seasoned, Great Lakes, sailors on the voyage posed the question: I wonder how my boat (he as a Tartan 37), would handle in these seas. The answer was, fine, we would just be doing something different.
DSnider, you state "As you know, any attempt to turn the sailboat around from downwind toward upwind in high winds, will absolutely capsize the sailboat."
That is nonsense. If you can sail upwind, you can turn upwind. Just manage the sheets as you turn. Proper sailboats are not that easy to capsize, and the rare instances where they do capsize are more often the products of waves than wind. Except in extreme conditions, far worse than those described in the OP, there is no reason at all why turning upwind should capsize the boat. While the apparent wind will increase as you move to the new tack, the boat may be in less danger than downwind, where an accidental jibe could cause major damage. Of course different boats respond differently, and one needs to consider winds and seastate as well as searoom.
DSnider, you state "As you know, any attempt to turn the sailboat around from downwind toward upwind in high winds, will absolutely capsize the sailboat."
Then you suggest "reduce the centerboard to 30% or less".
A Catalina 22 has a swing keel that should remain down and stay down to provide the righting moment to right the yacht in a roll or knockdown. In addition pulling the keel up shifts the keel aft increasing lee helm almost certainly preventing the yacht getting the bow into the wind.
Perhaps you have mistaken the boat for a 22 foot catamaran.
Best way to get a monohull running out of control to pointing into the wind is with the motor going, wait for a wave to pass and turn as quickly as possible hopefully between waves, it will all happen at planing speeds and either work or not (obvious). A very effective rudder is as valuable as a well ballasted keel when all else is scaring you.
GREETINGS EARTHLINGS Babtisem by fire you did well in the break-down of the event and you have learnt many a good lesson. If I could offer you some tips it would be the seven P's Rule, Planning Practice Preperation Prevents Piss Poor Performance! if you think you need to reef it sould already be done, do not hold onto sail to long you are not raceing, do you have life jackets and harnesses on when on deck and are all lids and haches secrued so cannot fall out when in a roll (bungy cord)? where you fastened to the boat when rolling around (Jack-stays in the cockpit)? where coast-garuds awhere you where where ? Radio contact with other vessel in your area ? And didyour remember to thank your Crew ? Thanks goes a long way. GO SAFE.
A good story and the lesson is your yacht is able to survive conditions better than you or the crew. I always admired the C22 as a good seaworthy yacht. Now some observations.
A downhaul on the jib halyard lead to the cockpit so you can get it down without going to the bow is valuable. In your story you would have not lost the halyard.
Sort the outboard out so you can get it working to turn into the wind to reef.
I like two reefs, a big one on a single line system to get the sail down, you can always rig the first reef after putting in the second reef and then shake the first reef out.
Slugs on the mainsail are the skippers best friend when you have a well setup single line reef.
Lazyjacks are handy with a single line reef.
You figured out never head to shallow water in a blow unless you know what your doing.
The C22 is one yacht that should hove too safely in extreme conditions, figure it out.
The sea anchor is a great device when you have open water.
Never give up.
|Army surplus sea anchor!! I used one in the Gulf of Mexico on my Cal 21 when a storm came up too soon... best $40.00 I ever spent on ebay!!!!
Rule #1: Have ALL your reef lines run BEFORE leaving the dock... The sail may not be reefed YET but the lines should always be in place.
You just learned the biggest issue with 'coastal cruising', the desire to seek shelter vs run for sea room when a storm approaches. You may have been on edge, BUT A CAT 22 has absolutely no business at sea in a storm. It could have been much worse..
|Although this thread is old, great advice here! I will definitely remember a lot you suggest if I am ever caught in a bad weather situation.
Feedback and Advice on turning up wind in a big gale
Wow, what a story; sounds familiar. Here is my review and advice on how to turn from down wind, to up wind in high winds.
* Absolutely get a Jib for your boat. Your boat was made to sail with two sails. When the Jib is not there, you have severely limited your ability to maintain control, especially when tacking up wind.
* Absolutely be ready to Reef the mainsail at 1st warning of impending trouble; don't wait. Start up the outboard, point the boat straight up wind; this will enable you best stability during the Reefing process.
* When caught in a storm down wind like you were, stay with the devil you know, and absolutely do not be tempted to turn the boat such that a big swell can easily roll your boat.
* Now for the big question: how to turn the sailboat around from downwind to some up wind, such that you have an extremely better chance of surviving the storm: As you know, any attempt to turn the sailboat around from downwind toward upwind in high winds, will absolutely capsize the sailboat.
Follow this technique in high winds, before the sea becomes out of control:
1.) Let the Jib out such that it effectively in out of the game
2.) Pull the mainsail in to slow the boat as much as possible. Be careful at all times to stay on a heading away from dead down wind.
3.) Begin the turn process, let the mainsail out all the way, and reduce the centerboard to 30% or less effectiveness. The boat will slide instead of capsize, at the same time, it will begin to turn the nose toward up wind. Like all maneuvers, you will need to manage the Tiller, Centerboard, Mainsail.... to get the attitude of the sailboat to just begin to point upwind.
4.) At the earliest point of being upwind, begin to fully engage the Centerboard to gain forward momentum and slow/stop the slide
5.) As the sail boat begins to reach upwind attitude, momentum is moving forward and normal control is restored, engage the Jib. If you engage the Jib too early, the slide will be very pronounced, and the bringing the nose into upwind attitude will be very difficult.
6.) General advice/warning: you will need to manage the slide, turn, heel, and engage the center board slowly (but not too slow) such that you don't bend/break the centerboard. Careful not to engage the centerboard to quickly, especially if there is a significant slide in progress. You don't want to bend/break the Centerboard. At the same time, not reducing the Centerboard enough, could result in over whelming heeling and you could capsize. If you capsize, it is a result of too much Centerboard, and turning too quickly (assuming a huge wave does not contribute to the rollover).
Bottom Line: your objective is to put the nose of the sailboat, such that sailing upwind can begin immediately.

Vanderbilt tells Catholic Students To Change Name
The chaplain of Vanderbilt Catholic, one of the largest student religious groups at Vanderbilt University, said their organization has been ordered by university officials to change their name. The order came after the Catholic group announced it was leaving campus rather than comply with the university's new nondiscrimination policy.
A spokesperson for Vanderbilt University confirmed that the Catholic group was told they could no longer use the Vanderbilt name.
"Those student groups who choose not to comply with the university's nondiscrimination policy do forfeit the privileges associated with registered student organization status and that includes the use of the Vanderbilt name," spokesperson Beth Fortune told Fox News.
The university has an "all comers" policy. That means all groups – including religious groups – must be open to all students and that every student should be allowed to run for office.
Vanderbilt reviewed the constitutions of every registered student organization to make sure they were in compliance with the policy after a dispute between the university and a Christian fraternity that expelled a homosexual member.
That campus-wide review included Vanderbilt Catholic — with about 500 members, it's one of the largest of the university's 400 registered student groups — whose membership is open to all students, but requires that its leadership be Catholic. The group refused to change its policy and instead decided to leave campus.
As a result, Vanderbilt Catholic will have to find a new name said Father John Sims Baker, the group's chaplain.
"We'll have to change our name," Baker told Fox News. "That's one thing the university has made clear."
Baker hedged when asked if Vanderbilt's edict on the name change was mean-spirited.
"I guess they own their name," he said. "I'm not too upset about it – but whatever."
Fortune said the policy is fair and was made clear to the student organizations.
"Registered student organizations that don't comply with our nondiscrimination policy will forfeit certain privileges and that includes the use of the Vanderbilt name, university funding and other privileges associated with registered student organization status."
Fortune said any group that fails to adhere to the policy will also have to change their name. Justin Gunter, the president of Vanderbilt's Christian Legal Society, said it's sad.
"Vanderbilt is intentionally trying to disassociate itself from religious groups," he told Fox News. "In keeping goal it's a necessary step for Vanderbilt to take."
Gunter is a spokesman for a group of 11 Christian organizations that have submitted applications for official status without making changes to their faith requirements – an act of defiance to the university.
"If our applications are rejected, we will not be able to claim we are the Vanderbilt chapter of the Christian Legal Society," he said.
Father Baker called the university's policy a "kick in the gut" and agreed that Vanderbilt considers Christians as second class citizens.
"The discriminatory non-discrimination policy at Vanderbilt University has forced our hand," Baker said in a statement. "Our purpose has always been to share the Gospel and proudly proclaim our Catholic faith. What other reason could there be for a Catholic organization at Vanderbilt? How can we say it is not important that a Catholic lead a Catholic organization?"
Nevertheless, the chaplain said they will have to rethink the way they minister to students. Several hundred attend Mass and many others are involved in a variety of religious activities.
As for the name change – Baker said they are floating some ideas but nothing has been decided.
"We're still going to be reaching out to students on campus," he said. "We have to get about our work and maybe work harder at it."

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is the backward flow of urine. The urine flows from the bladder back into the kidneys.
Urine normally flows out from the kidneys. It passes through tubes called ureters. It then flows into the bladder. Each ureter connects to the bladder in a way that prevents urine from flowing back up the ureter. This connection is similar to a one-way valve. When this does not work properly, or if the ureters do not extend far enough into the bladder, urine may flow back up to the kidney. If the urine contains bacteria, the kidney may become infected. The back-up can also put extra pressure on the kidney. This can cause kidney damage.
This is a potentially serious condition. It requires care from a doctor. Early treatment and prevention of infections can lead to better outcomes.
Common causes of VUR include:
- A problem in the way the ureter inserts into the bladder
- A ureter that does not extend far enough into the bladder
- Neurogenic bladder—loss of normal bladder function due to damaged nerves reaching the bladder
Risk Factors
VUR is more common in Caucasians. Other factors that may increase your child's chance of developing VUR include:
- Family history (especially if a sibling or parent has VUR)
- Birth defects that affect the urinary tract
- Birth defects that affect the spinal cord, such as spina bifida
- Tumors in the spinal cord or pelvis
Your child may not have any symptoms. In some cases, VUR is found after a urinary tract or kidney infection is diagnosed. Symptoms of urinary tract infections include:
- Frequent and urgent need to urinate
- Passing small amounts of urine
- Pain in the abdomen or pelvic area
- Burning sensation during urination
- Cloudy, bad-smelling urine
- Increased need to get up at night to urinate
- Blood in the urine
- Leaking urine
- Low back pain or pain along the side of the ribs
- Fever and chills
The doctor will ask about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include:
- Blood tests—to assess how well the kidneys are functioning
- Urine tests—to look for evidence of an infection or damage to the kidneys
- Ultrasound —a test that uses sound waves to examine the kidney and bladder
- CT scan —a type of x-ray that uses computers to make pictures of structures in the body
Voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG)—a liquid that can be seen on
is placed in the bladder through a catheter; x-rays are taken when the bladder is filled and when urinating
- Note: This test is not done routinely in children aged 2-24 months.
- Radionuclide cystogram (RNC)—a test like VCUG, but uses a different kind of liquid to obtain images
- Intravenous pyelogram —also uses a liquid that can be seen on x-rays; images are taken as the substance travels from the blood (after being injected into a vein) into the kidneys and bladder
- Nuclear scans—a variety of tests using radioactive materials injected into a vein or the bladder to show how well the urinary system is working
The doctor will grade your child's condition. The grading scale ranges from 1 (mild) to 5 (severe).
The goal for treatment of VUR is to prevent any permanent kidney damage. Treatment options include:
Treatment may not be needed right away for grades 1-3. VUR may go away on its own as the ureters develop. The doctor will monitor your child's condition. This may include:
- Antibiotics—If an infection is present or possible.
- Tests to check how the kidneys are functioning
Children are advised to stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids. They should also empty their bladders frequently.
In most cases, surgery is not needed. If your child does need surgery, the options include:
- Ureteral reimplantation surgery—This can be done in two ways. One requires making an incision above the pubic bone and repositioning the ureters in the bladder. It can also be done laparoscopically, with cameras being inserted through small incisions in the abdomen and/or bladder to do the surgery.
- Endoscopic injection into the ureter—This is a minimally invasive surgery that is done to correct the reflux. A gel is injected where the ureter inserts into the bladder. This can block urine from flowing back up the ureter.
VUR cannot be prevented in most cases. Avoid complications by getting prompt treatment. If you suspect a urinary tract or kidney infection, call your child's doctor.

An escort agency is the sort of business which provides companionship services to people that don't want to go out unescorted. There is a familiar misunderstanding pertaining to the words "escort service." Individuals quite often think about escort services as brothels that use companionship as cover. The reality is that an escort business does not employ prostitutes to work for them. Yet, it's possible that the female escorts works out a private arrangement with their client regarding sexual acts. But, in regards to paid sex then that's when it may cross the borders of the law. So, constantly take caution when contemplating situations that involve paid sex.
If you're a solitary man that is having problems finding a woman then you're probably thinking, "Should I get an escort? What will the woman look like?" These are all applicable thoughts, but questions you don't have to be concerned about. Bear in mind escorts are not supposed to be prostitutes, so you don't have to be worried about employing one should you simply want to get a companion for the evening. Additionally, lots of escort services have websites that allow you to view photos of their women. This allows clients to know precisely who will be arriving at their doorway before they arrange for the escort. Naturally, a fair amount of cash is billed by the escort services for offering companionship. The cheapest rates are about $125 per hour, though others will command upwards of $300 each hour. Everything depends on just what you are planning to have the girls do with you and what city you are in. If you are in a large city like Las Vegas, then you'll have plenty of options in finding a reputable escort agency — the website of My Vegas Escort at http://www.myvegasescort.com is just one example. In case you're simply looking for simple companionship in a small or medium sized location, then you'll likely get a decent hourly price. It will be a lot more money if you're planning to have the girl do anything more.
While searching for an escort service it is necessary that you consider an established service that is actually licensed with its home state. There are a lot of counterfeit ads on well-known classified ads websites, such as Craigslist and Backpage, that promise to be escort services when they are in truth not. Instead, it will wind up being somebody who will bring you back to the girl's room and rob you. Either that or the woman will have a guy waiting in the closet to rob you. There have been many stories similar to this revealed in the news, so don't become a casualty by responding to a fictitious escort services advertisement. Craigslist appears to attract a lot of dangerous folks that like to misuse the personals section. Actually, there was previously an adult service category, however it got removed following a violent event took place in one major city. A licensed escort service will give you peace of mind that you're interacting with a reputable escort service that has in fact screened their female escorts carefully. It is not very difficult to find these professional institutions. All you should do is check out a reliable escort service's site such as http://www.newyorkescortsescorts.com. Unfortunately, quite a few men do not do this given that these services often command a bit more than the escorts that are unlicensed. Keep in mind that unlicensed escort agencies are capable of just about anything, consequently their discounted price could cost you a whole lot more in the end.

One hurt, Hudson duplex damaged in fire
Morin said firefighters encountered a large fire when they arrived at the 11 Mission Lane duplex about 8:30 p.m. Thursday. The fire was knocked down 15 minutes later and did not spread to the other side of the two-family building, he said.
"The guys did a really nice job tonight," Morin said of firefighters.
Morin said no cause had been determined Thursday night and investigators had not determined yet whether the fire was suspicious.
Morin said the resident at 11 Mission Lane, whose name he didn't know, was treated at the scene for minor injuries. The resident - Morin also did not know the person's gender - was the only person displaced by the fire, he said.
No firefighters were injured, he said.

I am very interested in teaching abroad. (In Turkey specifically). Due to my current work schedule, it makes more sense to take a TEFL/TESOL certification class online. However, I have seen some comments in different forums that online certifications are often not accepted by employers. What is your experience with this? Also, there are different hours listed for different courses. i.e. '100 hour course' or a '140 hour course'. Is there an industry standard for minimum number of hours?
Thanks for any info!

Dead-tree format
I have been looking at online-to-print publishing services lately, or alternate formats in e-books, lately. Even with so many online forms, dead-tree formats are still preferred by far. Part of it is a question of format and such, but right now I'm more interested in how people feel about a book.
Stability - It's ironic that in a business world where fluidity and change are pressing forces, that printed books with a fixed set of information are still preferred. It is not as much the permanence as the stability in knowing that the same information is still there, not changing. For a lot of information that does not require adjustments or fluidity, this makes books first in mind. This is also its weakness in books: the more variable information needs to be the less significant the value of a book.
Exclusivity - It is the fact that not everyone can get their work published that adds value to books. This doesn't mean that the best info always gets out there, but it does mean that people have to work harder to get their info published. In the traditional process, this was to encourage excellence (but I don't think that's always the case)
There are other values, but those are being eroded (slowly) with the rise of digital formats: portability, visual impact, artistic value, etc.
Therefore to some folks, its that feeling of exclusivity of having a published book that makes it worthwhile. Which is why I think the idea of vanity publishing used to be compelling enough to keep a cottage industry going. Today however, with key innovations like HP's Indigo press system, it becomes so much cheaper to print low-quantity runs of books.
Take a look at Blurb.com, which allows anyone to get their photos, words, blogs, etc. put into print format at an affordable level. Having written so much over the years, I wouldn't mind taking some of my old online work and having it published into a print format, if nothing else to just have on my bookshelf.

Even when club officials began to look into the allegations last year, Dusenbury was allowed to continue coaching without agreed-upon supervision, including holding private unsupervised lessons with underage swimmers, according to club officials.
Former Nadadores board of directors chairman Rick Brotherton told the Register that he was so appalled with the way the club has handled the Dusenbury case that he left the club and removed his children as members.
"I believe (Dusenbury) did (have an improper relationship) and I didn't agree with the fact that he was still on (the pool) deck," Brotherton said . "I thought by my staying there I was making a statement that I felt everything was fine and I didn't believe everything was fine. So we left. I didn't want people thinking 'The Brothertons are still here. It must not be as bad as they're saying it is.' "
A DVD provided to Nadadores officials and obtained by the Register contains photos of a 2006 diary in which Dusenbury and the girl purportedly chronicle their relationship, in often intimate detail, including dates and places where sex acts occurred. The diary also reveals that as early as May 2006, Dusenbury, who goes by Ad'm, believed Nadadores coaches were suspicious of his relationship with the girl, but continued to become more involved with her. The DVD also contains photos of a teenage girl in her underwear in Dusenbury's apartment and seated on his bed. Club officials and Nadadores parents have identified the girl as the former Aliso Niguel student.
While Nadadores officials were provided copies of the DVD in August, Dusenbury continued to coach until October when board members were presented allegations of additional sexual impropriety, according to board members. The subsequent allegations are not related to adolescents or to swim club members.
Nadadores head coach Bill Rose for months continued to dismiss the allegations against Dusenbury as false. Seven months after the DVD was presented to Nadadores officials, Rose said he has not viewed the material.
"Rose was adamant that Ad'm hadn't done anything wrong and concerned about the source of the info," Brotherton said.
"What relationship?" Rose asked in an interview with The Register. "They're just allegations."
Rose added: "We followed the proper procedures."
Nadadores board members and Twongtip Punlert, who dated Dusenbury in 2011, said they have also been asked by USA Swimming investigators about when Rose and other club officials learned of the alleged relationship between Dusenbury and the girl and whether club officials followed proper procedures in following up on reports of the relationship.
Punlert is the person who provided the DVD to Nadadores officials. She said she discovered it after Dusenbury accidently placed it with her belongings when he moved her out of the apartment they had been sharing.
Dusenbury, now 34, is viewed in swimming circles as being on the cutting edge in his use of video and computer technology in his coaching. He has his own line of instructional videos that one swimming website described as the "world's best coaching DVDs."
"The whole Ad'm thing is extremely unfortunate," said Hyung Kim, a Nadadores board member who also left the club in the wake of the Dusenbury controversy. "Hopefully USA Swimming will step up and suspend Ad'm and hopefully he will never coach again."
Dusenbury, who currently works for Voices for Children of San Antonio, a Texas nonprofit children's advocacy group, declined comment.
"I'm sorry I can't help you with that," Dusenbury said.
The president of Voices for Children of San Antonio said she was aware of the allegations against Dusenbury when he was hired.
"I did know the very basics," Kathleen Fletcher said in an email. "I do understand that, like any organization that works with or serves children, USA Swimming has to investigate any allegation. I also know that allegations may or may not be true. We followed up on references both here and in California – all excellent. To avoid any risk, the CEO of the major organization of which we are a partner agency did some additional contacting of people and of course we did a background check – no problems other than apparently an angry and vengeful ex-girlfriend."
"...Ad'm has done an excellent job for us."
The CEO Fletcher referred to is George Block, a former American Swimming Coaches Association president and longtime mentor to Dusenbury. Block, like Rose, is a member of the ASCA Hall of Fame.
Under California law, it is unlawful for a person 18 or older to have sexual intercourse with a person under 18 years of age. If there is a three year or more age difference, the adult could face felony charges, according to prosecutors at the Orange County District Attorney's office. If the adult is considered to hold a position of trust over the minor and is convicted, prosecutors would likely ask that the perpetrator be required to register under the California Sex Offender Registration Act, better known as Megan's Law. A swim coach is considered to be in such a position of trust, O.C. prosecutors said.
The young woman in the case, now a 22-year-old college student, was interviewed by Orange County Sheriff's Department investigators in September and denied that Dusenbury had a sexual relationship with her when she was underage, according to sheriff's department and Nadadores officials.
Susan Woessner, USA Swimming's athlete protection officer, declined comment.
Just months before the 2012 Olympic Games, the dispute over how Nadadores handled the Dusenbury allegations has divided a club that has consistently ranked among the most successful in the world and is one of the American Olympic movement's most recognized brands. A number of parents said they are upset with the club's response, saying that Nadadores did not pursue red flags surrounding Dusenbury with proper diligence in 2006 or after the allegations surfaced in August.
Other parents are angry with the club's decision to finally confront Dusenbury. Some parents have said Dusenbury should have been retained by Nadadores even if the allegations against him are proven, interviews show. At least 33 swimmers have left Nadadores as a result of the Dusenbury matter, club officials said.
"I definitely felt like it split the club," Brotherton said. "A group of 60 angry parents sent me nasty emails accusing me of trying to get rid of a great coach."
The Nadadores swim club was founded in 1968 by the Mission Viejo Company. Under coach Mark Schubert and later, under Rose, it emerged as a global power in what has become one of the Summer Olympics' marquee sport. Nadadores swimmers have won 20 Olympic medals, set 22 world records and 91 American records. The club has been operated by the Mission Viejo Nadadores Foundation since 1992.
"The fact is we're trying to move ahead," Rose said. "We can't, nor will we allow ourselves to be affected by this."
The DVD contains day-by-day photos of a 2006 journal that Dusenbury and the girl appear to have kept, labeled on the disc as "The Adventure Calendar." The datebook contains lists of swim meet and workout schedules, the girl's class and test schedule and social appointments with family and friends. The two appear to leave notes for each other and chronicle their romantic and sexual relationship.
The DVD also contains at least 17 photos of the girl in what Punlert says is Dusenbury's apartment. The disc also contains a slideshow titled "The Adventure" of more than 100 photos of Orange County landmarks, restaurants, beaches, malls, movie theaters and mall, church and school parking lots. At various points in the 2006 datebook the girl is described in what Punlert said is Dusenbury's handwriting as "Baby Girl" and "my wife." The disc also contains a note to Dusenbury dated "5.25.2010" from a second journal in a feminine hand that thanks Dusenbury and says "These 4 years have been magical, difficult, fun, adventurous, hard, memorable..."
"I believed that the contents of the disc to be legit," Brotherton said.
Kim also believes the documents and photos are authentic.
"Yes, I believe they are," Kim said. "Originally I was very skeptical because I know (computer files) can be manipulated. But when I saw the specificity of the thing, that is what pushed me over the edge in terms of believability. There are a lot of things on there, it's hard to discount that."
As early as May 2006, the couple appears concerned about being exposed. "'Reality-check' Coach's suspect," reads a May 1, 2006, entry into the datebook in what Punlert said is Dusenbury's handwriting. In August 2006 the girl's mother appears to learn of the relationship. "The worst day ever. Sweetheart's mom found out and Hell has broke loose. I'm afraid this will be the last thing ever recorded (at least for a while). My heart is empty...my life is over."
While USA Swimming records indicate that the girl left Nadadores to join Irvine Novaquatics, datebook entries indicate that the relationship continued.
Punlert said during her relationship with Dusenbury he confirmed that he had been involved with the girl. After discovering the DVD early last August, Punlert said she turned it over to Nadadores officials. Brotherton immediately contacted the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
Dusenbury was recalled from Stanford where he was coaching Nadadores swimmers at the USA Swimming Junior National Championships.
He resigned in August but later rescinded his resignation after a group of parents, buoyed by Rose's support of Dusenbury, confronted board members about their decision to make him return to Orange County in the middle of the National meet, board members said.
"We decided 'Hey, wait a second,' " Rose said. "We don't want to accept his resignation. Let him have his day in court."
The American Swimming Coaches Association's code of ethics states that "a coach member of the American Swimming Coaches Association shall not engage in sexual relations with any minor." Rose said he has not reported the allegations against Dusenbury to the ASCA.
Dusenbury was allowed to continue coaching until October when allegations of additional sexual impropriety surfaced. Dusenbury voluntarily left the club the weekend of October 22-23 after being confronted with those allegations.
"There was definitely a large stink by a bunch of parents about him being pulled way the meet and that we might lose him (to another club)," Kim said. "Rose was definitely pro Ad'm in terms of supporting his coach."

I thought I was set on the Beretta px4 storm full size in the 9mm. I went to the gun shop to grope one and saw a smith and wesson M&P9 (normal price), and a ruger sr9($299, used).
I loved the feel of all of them. The slide lock/release and the mag release were all good for me on all of them with the beretta being a bit on the bigger side.
This is for home defense and a range gun btw, we can't carry here in Hawaii :smt092
Sooooo for me the at this very moment the ruger is winning due to the price. I still really like the beretta but I'm now also attracted to the M&P9. I don't really know where to go from here as far as deciding :axe:
How would some of you guys work this out the 3 I mentioned were the ones you were looking at too.

Ever had that moment where you wish you could take a photo in slow motion? or maybe have a trail of fire behind a speeding car?
Now is the time for you to achieve those amazing photographs that you always wanted to take and with Evan Sharboneau's book "Trick Photography and Special Effects" you'll be able not only to see how those special effects are done, but you'll have 300 page step by step guide at your fingertips ready for you to create those special camera effects yourself!
By the way, did i mention that you also get over 9 hours of tutorial videos to help you on your way?
Read more...
The Review:
Trick Photography and Special Effects 2 is the second edition and has over 300 pages, Evan has also written it in a way that allows you to easily search in the contents for specific things your looking for and go straight to it without needing to read the whole book. It does have its benefit if you start from the beginning and read through to the end, as i found, the wealth of information provided starts off at a basic level and progresses more sophisticated as you go along. The most advanced techniques are built on by the material you've previously learned at the start.
In the first part of the book he starts off talking about basic equipment and advises that if your just starting out to use what you have until you know for sure what you want and need, that includes cameras, and tripods. He also discusses Photoshop and which of the three packages are the best for you to get.
After this, the real fun starts as he gets into the nitty gritty stuff. Out of all the photography eBooks Ive read, I have to say this one has an extremely laid out format to follow. The table of contents has three main sections: Long Exposure Effects and Light Painting, Trick Photography and Special Effects, and finally Photoshop Projects.
Learn how here...
My favorite section was the Photoshop Projects, which i found to be amazing. it starts with a detailed explanation of layer masks and moves on from there. To tell you the truth before I read Evans book I had no idea about layer masks at all, they confused the hell out of me, but not now, after following his guide step by step, he helped me to understand everything there is to know about layer masks.
Which was a good thing as layer masks are a crucial part for creating photo special effects, so learning how to properly use them is key. Not only is the text easy to follow and has detailed explanations, there are numerous photos showing the different stages of setting up your special effects.
Added Bonus:
If the 300 pages of quality detailed information wasn't enough, you also get access to over 50 instructional videos. In these videos Evan demonstrates all the techniques in the book, in fact the video library is sectioned off in the same three headings as the book., plus there are some videos that cover additional material, so depending on how much you want to learn, you may even get more value out of the videos!. To be honest, I really do think the videos alone are worth more than the price you'll pay for the entire package.
All the videos are recorder in HD, so depending on your internet connection may take sometime to load, but they are well worth it. Evan goes into great detail, demonstrating trick photography and special effects techniques.

text: Funny the Pistons have been the only team to win 3 road games in the 2008 playoff series and the only tea, in the elite eight to break through with a road victory in the second round. However in some media minds they would be probably only the third or fourth favorite to win the title. By the time I tuned into this game at the beginning of the 4th, it was already over. Don't know what happen but the defending champs held serve and even though the Hornets still have HCA, the pressure is on them.

Famed British Graffiti Artist Banksy Featured in CONTEXT Art Miami
Art Miami, in conjunction with new photo-sharing platform
I PXL U, has announced "BANKSY Out of CONTEXT," one of the most anticipated exhibitions for the 23rd edition of Art Miami and the inaugural edition of CONTEXT Art Miami, which will kick off Miami Art Week with an exclusive VIP Preview today, Dec. 4, 2012.
The exhibition, consisting of five wall reliefs equaling more than six-and-a-half tons in weight and featuring iconic stencils from world-renowned guerrilla artist, BANKSY, encourages the debate about 'site-specific' street art outside of its original context. Although the five walls are privately owned and not for sale, I PXL U, and BANKROBBER who will be exhibiting in CONTEXT Art Miami, have come together to offer collectors, artists, connoisseurs and VIP fair guests the rare opportunity to acquire works from a limited showing of a selection of the artists most iconic editioned works, including a rare 'Kate Moss AP' and a unique hand decorated example of the artist's first ever 'Rude Copper' print. BANKROBBER also specializes in salvaging, sourcing and restoring original works by the artist known as BANKSY. I PXL U (pronounced: "I pixel you") is a free photo-sharing platform that allows users to design and print custom photo mosaics.
"Our organization, along with I PXL U, is thrilled to share the rare stencils of BANKSY, perhaps the world's most relevant street artist, with the more than 55,000 visitors who come through Art Miami every year," said Nicholas Korniloff, Director and Partner of Art Miami and CONTEXT Art Miami. "We encourage the debate surrounding 'BANKSY Out of CONTEXT' and site-specific art in general, and are excited to have created an arena where the subject can be discussed not only by experts and connoisseurs, but the public."
The names of these exclusive pieces, much like the artist's identity, will remain a mystery until they are unveiled at both Art Miami and CONTEXT Art Miami's highly anticipated VIP Preview on December 4th from 5:30 to 10 p.m. Art Miami & CONTEXT Art Miami VIP Card Holders and press members will be the guests to this exclusive soiree that will benefit the Miami Art Museum. This preview will allow VIP's the first opportunity to acquire some of the finest works from the international galleries representing emerging, cutting edge, contemporary and modern works.
Art Miami and CONTEXT Art Miami together, will feature 190 galleries from more than 21 countries. In the spirit of expanding the discussion, Art Miami and I PXL U have created a space in which attendees can judge in a unique setting, BANKSY's works which would have been destroyed at their original sites. The subject of "site specificity" is divisive within the art community, and visitors will have the opportunity to enter this debate and discuss whether showcasing these works outside their original context is, in fact, an attempt to bring the artist's message to a wider audience. Literature and video footage regarding the, artist and his works will be available on-site, and attendees will have the chance to appreciate these iconic walls while enjoying drinks from the bar and café, as well as, live performances taking place in the outdoor connecting space between CONTEXT Art Miami and Art Miami.
Art Miami and CONTEXT Art Miami, with their combined 250,000-square-feet of indoor and outdoor curated exhibition surface, will become a miniature art city in the heart of Miami's Wynwood Arts District, where attendees will view BANKSY's stencils as well as other curated projects.
"I PXL U, in collaboration with Art Miami, is pleased to present our collection of BANKSY street art," said Stephan Keszler, President and Founder of I PXL U, a new social platform that provides a free way to disseminate memories and mementos online in the form of photo mosaics. "I have no doubt that most of BANKSY's graffiti works would not have survived at their original locations. It is therefore our primary goal to safeguard and preserve these unique works and their critical message, and to share them with as many people as possible."
Robin Barton of BANKROBBER adds, "I am delighted to be given the opportunity to extend this debate through the display of these important early works. Removed from their original context, the question becomes whether they are the mordant bounty of greedy modern day cultural grave robber's or that they represent a unique chance to see the elusive artist's work up close and personal, out of context, yet within CONTEXT."

SALEM – The Roanoke College men's lacrosse team advances to the ODAC Championship game after defeating Randolph-Macon, 15-6 on Saturday evening. The Maroons advance in the tournament with a record of 14-3, while the Yellow Jackets stand with a mark of 10-9.
The Maroons are currently coming off of the team's 20th ODAC regular season title, after going 9-0 in ODAC play. The Maroons have advanced to the ODAC Championship game and try to win the team's 18th ODAC Championship and 24th bid into the NCAA Tournament.
The first period was a low-scoring quarter, but the Yellow Jackets got an early jump on the Maroons. Robert Fox scored the first goal of the game in just 50 seconds, giving Randolph-Macon an early 1-0 lead. Josh Merwin tacked on a goal of his own to extend the lead to two with 13:10 to play in the quarter. Tyler McWilliams scored Roanoke's lone goal of the frame off an assist by ODAC Player of the Year, Richard Lachlan, pulling the Maroons within one 2-1.
Roanoke got hot in the top of the second quarter as they went on a 5-0 run. Third Team All-ODAC selection, Will Pilat, scored his 30th goal of the season off of an assist by McWilliams to tie the game at 2-2. Mike Hayden, Brendan Nizolek each scored one goal in that run, while McWilliams scored his second and third goals of the contest, putting Roanoke ahead 6-2. The Yellow Jackets' only goal in the period came rom Justin Butler, the leading scorer in the ODAC as he found the back of the net for the 40th time this season. Tyler Cockey scored for the Maroons in the final seconds of the quarter, giving Roanoke a 7-3 advantage at the half.
Cockey opened the third period with a goal, his 13th of the season, assisted by Pilat. Jason Andrews scored shortly thereafter, pulling the Yellow Jackets back within four, 8-4 with 13:22 to play in the third. The Maroons only scored two more goals in the period, starting with Second Team All-ODAC member Troy Grogan, who scored just his third goal of the season. Lachlan finished off the third with a goal, putting the Maroons up 10-4 with 15:00 to play.
Randolph-Macon was the first to strike in the final stanza, as Fox netted his second goal of the game, just a minute into the period. Roanoke responded with two goals in the next two minutes as Lachlan and Kyle Smith each found the back of the net. The Yellow Jackets' final goal of the game came at the 11:38 mark in the quarter as Tim Rowe scored, pulling within six, 12-6. The Maroons finished off the game with three more goals, as McWilliams, Lachlan and Colin Rossano each scored a goal.
Tyler McWilliams led the Maroons in scoring, netting four goals and dishing out two assists. He was followed in scoring by Richard Lachlan, who finished with three goals and one assist. Second in assists on the team was Will Pilat, who finished with three, going along with his one goal. First Team All-ODAC selection Charles Pease played 55 minutes in goal and tallied nine saves for the win.
The Yellow Jackets were led in scoring by Robert Fox who finished the game with two goals off five shots. Jason Andrews finished the contest with the team's lone assist. Nick Benhoff, who did most of the face-off work for Randolph-Macon finished the game with a team high eight ground balls.
Roanoke led the Yellow Jackets in a number of statistical categories including: shots (55-27), ground balls (39-33), faceoffs (15-10) extra-man goals (2-0). Randolph-Macon led the Maroons in saves, 13-9.
The Maroons return to action on Sunday, May 5th, as they play in the ODAC Championship game against conference-rival Washington and Lee. Roanoke's game against the #13 ranked Generals is slated for a 3:00 PM start in Kerr Stadium.
