Safariland® Introduces New Line of Holsters for Electrical Discharge Weapons
ONTARIO, Calif.—Safariland, part of the BAE Systems Products Group, announces today the introduction of its new line of holsters for Electrical Discharge Weapons (EDW) – the Model 519, Model 520, Model 6287 and Model 6288.
Safariland has earned a leadership position and an industry reputation for "Innovation Not Imitation™" for its holsters and equipment in the law enforcement, military and sporting good markets. With a research and development team comprised of veteran law enforcement officers and champion competitive shooters, Safariland utilizes this comprehensive industry knowledge to design, develop and manufacture some of the most innovative and highest quality products in the world.
"With the growing EDW market, we've been receiving numerous requests for quality concealment holsters with various retention options for EDW devices," said Scott Carnahan, director of marketing, Safariland. "Law enforcement and security personnel now have the option of purchasing a durable, high quality EDW holster with a wide variety of carry options, retention levels and accessories from Safariland."
Offered with the industry-acclaimed Safariland Self Locking System (SLS), the Model 6287 EDW concealment holster provides Level II Retention™ and can be adjusted for preferred cant angle for both strong side and cross-draw carry. Suede lined to protect the weapon's finish and shield the muzzle, the Model 6287 rides close to the body to aid in both concealment and weapon retention. It comes standard with the 1.5"-1.75" Model 567BL injection-molded belt loop, yet will accommodate any of the seven different 567BL options that are available.
The new Safariland Model 6288 EDW holster features the same SLS retention and high quality materials as the Model 6287 and employs a paddle design with the Model 568UBL, allowing officers to use the Model 6288 with or without a belt for added comfort and durability. The Model 568UBL also allows easy conversion for duty or tactical wear.
Manufactured with the patented SAFARI-LAMINATE™ with suede lining, the Model 519 EDW holster is available with a traditional thumb break and is designed for both vertical and cross-draw carry. The injection molded belt loop fits 2.25" belts and is adjustable for cant angle, while an optional belt loop is also available to fit 1.5" - 2.25" belt widths.
Featuring the same retention options as the Model 519, the Model 520 EDW holster utilizes a clip-on style belt loop, fitting 1.5" - 2.25" belt widths, and is also user-adjustable for vertical or cross draw carry.
The Model 6287 and Model 6288 EDW holsters are available in Plain Black and STX Tactical™ finish, with MSRP's starting at $87.00 and $92.00, respectively. The Model 519 and Model 520 EDW holsters are also available in Plain Black, as well as Basket Weave or Hi-Gloss finish, with MSRP's of $72.00 and $76.00 respectively.

Futuristic Beauty! 3 Picks for Hi-Tech Beauty Today
Hot new technology that leads to Gorgeousness!
-Harvey Helms
I love Fall! New York Fashion Week, the Emmys and all our favorite beauty and fashion mags that weigh a ton are chock-full of the new, the different and … reasons to shop! Not that that we need a reason to shop but I'm just saying! Of course my beauty bible Allure has a special issue showing the products and how to's we need for every occasion in our lives. Linda Wells, Editor and Chief, has outdone herself with her October issue!
I'm always on the hunt to give you the future before it arrives and I've found a few "believe it or not" products that take beauty to the next level. I expect the next 10 years to give us "Jetson" -like products that we can use to literally transform ourselves in better and easier ways, with results.
Elure Advanced Skin Lightening Line: Containing a mushroom-derived enzyme originally used to whiten paper in the '80s, Elure is now an incredible non irritating way to erase dark spots and even skin tone in seven days! This substance called Melanozyme can destroy melanin that accumulates on the surface! Elure's day and night creams begin breaking melanin down into small colorless molecules that are whisked away with natural exfoliation!
Luster Now: Love this! Luster offers instant gratification for those of us needing immediate brightening. When you brush with this magic elixir, their adhesive polymers called Bluverite form a temporary bond on the surface of your teeth, canceling out any yellow staining. Lasts for about five hours! I will have two! Home and purse for emergency brightening!
Cry Baby: Chemists at Cry Baby took flexible-polymer chemistry (like that used in bonding hair extensions) and developed a semi-permanent mascara that curls, lengthens and thickens lashes that don't smudge for weeks! The professionally-applied polymers create a strong, flexible coating that doesn't budge. Definitely first on my shopping list!
The future is here! A more radiant, even complexion, with instantly whiter teeth and and long lasting lashes to die for! Check them out and let me know what you think!
Now if we could have some futuristic way to get the men in our lives to not leave their clothes on the floor at the end of the day. I guess the more things change the more they stay the same.
Here's to the future girls!!

Owensboro Man Seeing The World at 220 MPH on Two Wheels
OWENSBORO, Ky. -- A western Kentucky man is making a living by seeing the world at just over 220 M.P.H.
33 year old Nicky Hayden is in his 12th season on the MotoGP circuit working his way up from dirt track racing. Hayden, who is currently sidelined with a wrist injury, says the fan base may not be as big as NASCAR but says they are just as passionate.
He says racing is a family affair that started with his mom and dad and continues with his younger brothers.
The MotoGP series is at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend. Hayden says despite the injury, he'll be at the track to meet fans assist his fill-in rider during the race.

What is a Creative Conversation?
A Creative Conversation gathers community leaders to discuss local arts, culture, and creativity to generate partnerships and increased energy around the grassroots movement to elevate the arts in America during National Arts & Humanities Month in October. Past participants learned about the state of their local arts and creative industry, explored new ideas to strengthen their community with the arts, and ignited connections that spurred movements and actions that work to ensure that every American has access to the transformative power of the arts.
During the past few years, Creative Conversations have taken many forms, including:
- Brown-bag lunches with colleagues within and outside the arts to discuss local arts issues, cross-sector collaboration, and building a career in arts administration.
- Professional development workshops on work-life balance, crisis management, audience development, fundraising, etc.
- Panel sessions and moderated interviews with politicians, funders, representatives of other industries, and local arts leaders.
- Full-day symposia with keynote speakers, professional development workshops, networking sessions, and more.
Past topics have included "Arts Education: A Community of Inquiry in Pittsburgh," "Town Hall Meeting on the State of Dance in Cincinnati," and "Make a Scene: Activating Local Arts & Culture Media."
What began in 2004 as a program of The Emerging Leaders Network at Americans for the Arts has expanded in scope to include all arts leaders and interested individuals.
Why host a Creative Conversation?
To advance your local arts community by increasing connections, advancing dialogue, and developing your leadership. Creative Conversations are a local tool that empowers arts administrators to take a leadership role in their community by both designing programming and galvanizing peers to connect professionally.
Some of these local gatherings have grown into organized emerging leaders networks, been the catalyst for the development of community cultural plans, and have even helped shape local arts advocacy by connecting the cultural sector with the business community and political leadership.
How do I host a Creative Conversation?
The first step is to form a core planning team and then decide on the audience, topic, format, space, and date. Once that is squared away (whew!) post your event on our ArtsMeet National Event calendar and alert your networks and media.
Here are some tools and information to help you plan your Creative Conversation:
- Past Creative Conversations (for some inspiration)
- Reports & Data (to help you decide on a topic and get some talking points)
- Event Planning 101, Event Planning Checklist, & Social Media Plan (three outside resources to start your planning)
- Advocacy Resources (you should be inviting your local elected official's office to your event)
- Media alert & Press release (customizable for your event)
How do I attend a Creative Conversation near me?
You can find a local Creative Conversation by searching our ArtsMeet National Event calendar, where organizations and individuals add their arts events for the month of October and throughout the year.

Climate Information Platform
The Climate Information Platform facilitates access to a wealth of information and knowledge on climate change and climate solutions by bringing together five different climate websites managed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and its partners:
- Adaptation Learning Mechanism
- ClimateTechWiki
- Climate Finance Options
- Voluntary REDD+ Database
- Energy Dashboard
The Climate Information Platform constitutes a unified pathway to searchable databases and other sources of up-to-date information for climate and sustainable development practitioners and stakeholders in developing countries. The Platform channels the latest case studies, project profiles, statistics, and data on climate change mitigation and adaptation technologies and practices; clean sustainable energy; green, low-emission and climate-resilient development; and climate finance and funding sources. Users are invited to exchange knowledge and experiences and to help shape the content of this integrated Platform by contributing comments and case studies and participating in discussion fora and other interactive features.
Adaptation Learning Mechanism
The UNDP-Adaptation Learning Mechanism (ALM) is the organization's knowledge sharing platform on climate change adaptation. The UNDP-ALM provides an interactive forum for sharing and learning about effective adaptation practices, integrating climate risk and adaptation into development planning and policies, and building the capacity of practitioners and other stakeholders to undertake adaptation activities. The platform has a specific focus on efforts that countries are undertaking with the assistance of UNDP. As it is linked to the existing range of adaptation knowledge networks (including the GEF-SPA financed Adaptation Learning Mechanism), the UNDP-ALM platform allows users to explore and participate in adaptation communities of practice worldwide. The UNDP-ALM's core set of services is premised on the notion that knowledge should be locally owned and managed by sub-national and national stakeholders, given that a bulk of adaptation efforts will depend on decisions taken at sub-national/national levels. The ALM is managed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in close partnership with the World Bank, United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Original funding was provided by the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The ALM has also established a number of additional partnerships with the private sector, public institutions, and academia. more
ClimateTechWiki supports the development and transfer of technologies for climate change mitigation and adaptation. ClimateTechWiki's interactive database offers up-to-date information on mitigation and adaptation technologies to practitioners worldwide who are working on low-emission and climate-resilient development. Users may contribute to ClimateTechWiki by commenting on technology descriptions, adding case studies, and participating in the discussion forum. ClimateTechWiki is the collaborative effort of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP), UNEP Risoe Centre on Energy, Climate and Sustainable Development, NL Agency of the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN), and Joint Implementation Network (JIN). The reegle Clean Energy Info Portal complements ClimateTechWiki by providing country energy profiles, a targeted clean energy search engine, and resources and services involving renewables, energy efficiency, and climate change (e.g., clean energy stakeholders, projects, policies and regulations, statistics, and potentials). reegle is maintained by ClimateTechWiki partner REEEP and REN21 (Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century).more
Climate Finance Options
The Climate Finance Options website provides comprehensive guidance on the numerous funding sources and financial tools for climate action in developing countries. Information is available on the wide range of funds from multilateral and bilateral institutions, as well as public and private sources, for climate change mitigation and adaptation projects. Project case studies illustrate the innovative and effective use of these funds on the ground in developing countries. A knowledge center contains a multitude of relevant financial tools, documents, and links. A joint endeavor of the World Bank and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Climate Finance Options website aims to catalyze financial and investment flows towards more effective and efficient mitigation and adaptation measures.more
Voluntary REDD+ Database
The Voluntary REDD+ Database gives users access to information on REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) financing, actions, and results that has been reported to the REDD+ Partnership . The intention is to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, transparency and coordination of REDD+ initiatives, and to support efforts to identify and analyze gaps and overlaps in REDD+ financing. The Database relies solely on information voluntarily submitted by countries and institutions. The Voluntary REDD+ Database is managed by a team at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) World Conservation Monitoring Centre.more
Energy Dashboard
The UNDP Energy Dashboard is a database that captures information on all energy projects in the field across a range of scales from the local level to the national, regional and global levels and covers projects from various programme funding including UNDP regular resources, the Global Environment Facility (GEF), GEF Small Grants Programme (SGP), governments, private sector and civil society partners. The Energy Dashboard provides national level stakeholders, other development practitioners, academia and the public with energy project information and facilitates communication of UNDP work on energy by providing a searchable database as well as a communication platform for people to share stories and experiences on various energy projects. The website allows a visitor to browse all energy projects between 2000 – 2011 by region, country, technology and energy service and also create various interactive graphs and charts using project information captured in the UNDP database. (Coming Soon)more

Another Utah Water Shortage is Upon Us
Another drought season is upon us, across most of Utah.
State Hydrologist Randy Julander says, statewide, we have less than half the water supply stored in reservoirs that we should have, at this time of year.
In some locations -- including Ogden, Provo and Northeastern Utah -- the amount of stored water is much lower than that.
Water rationing has already been imposed in some locations -- with more likely to follow. Julander says, a wet summer would help -- but still not make up for the shortage entirely.
He says Utah farmers and ranchers will be impacted most; but we should all try to limit our water use over the next several months.

When not roaming the Chesapeake Bay, Sultana, a gracious, two-masted sailing vessel, docks at its home port in the marina at the foot of Chestertown, Maryland. Sultana's builders and designers used historical documentation to painstakingly re-create the 18th-century schooner. This replica functions as both a pleasure-sailing craft for tourists and an educational tool for schoolkids.
Sultana represents far more than a deliciously recaptured slice of history. Chestertown, a charming Eastern Shore village on an arm of the bay, is home to 6,000 souls, bounded on one side by the Chester River and otherwise surrounded by farm fields and even smaller hamlets. Exquisitely restored Colonial homes line the brick-paved sidewalks and oak-shaded streets.
Beyond its placid demeanor, Chestertown proclaims itself "the town that beat Wal-Mart" for thwarting the discount retailer's plan to build a store there. After the victory celebration, resident Joyce Huber Smith said, "It's one thing to be anti-Wal-Mart―but what do we stand for?" Sultana's creation helped define Chestertown's aim, representing a commitment to preserve its past while focusing on its present.
Robert Mooney, author of the novel Father of the Man and a Washington College professor, says, "There is conviviality in town that's an interesting symmetry of a monied older generation and the college. These are two very strong and actively vibrant parts of the community." Ultimately, he adds, "Chestertown is like the way 'Cheers' used to sell itself―the town where everybody knows your name."
Native Anna Cole, proprietor of Scottie's Shoe Store (a combination footwear retailer, newsstand, and consignment shop) adds a different insight. "This is the friendliest town on earth," she says, "and it's due to a combination of folks: locals, who are down-to-earth and generous people, and folks who've escaped urban lifestyles for a slower pace and are grateful for it."
Whichever you are, she adds, "you never feel like a stranger."

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:14pm
A young Clarkson University Lacrosse team came into its own on Wednesday evening in Canton, NY as the Golden Knights posted one of the program's biggest wins in recent years with a 9-7 victory over archrival St. Lawrence University.
Freshman goaltender Ryan Cole (Orchard Park, NY) posted 19 saves and five different Knights scored goals as Clarkson snapped a six-game losing skid to the Saints. The Green and Gold dominated the start of the Liberty League contest, jumping out to a 6-0 first-quarter lead, and then held off St. Lawrence over the remaining 45 minutes to gain their first win on the Saints' home turf since 2004.
Liberty League Rookie of the Week, freshman Matt McCabe (Syracuse, NY) paced the Clarkson offense with three goals. Junior Mitch Collins (Baldwinsville, NY) and sophomore Matt Cyr (Cheshire, CT) tallied two goals apiece, while junior Tyler Long (Liverpool, NY) and sophomore Eric Gollands (Chelmsford, MA) both added a goal.
Scott Smith led St. Lawrence (6-4, 1-2) with a game-high four goals.
Cole, who improved his record to 3-3, recorded nine of his 19 saves in the first half as the Knights held a 7-2 lead at the break. McCabe and Collins scored twice in the opening 15 minutes, while Gollands and Long connected for one goal each to give the Green and Gold a 6-0 lead with 53 seconds remaining in the first quarter.
The Saints scored a pair of goals around McCabe's third tally of the game in the second quarter to gain some momentum.
St. Lawrence outscored the Knights 5-2 in the second half, but a pair of goals by Cyr, one in the third and one in the fourth, over the final 30 minutes proved to be the difference. Cyr's second goal of the game came with 4:36 remaining and gave Clarkson a 9-6 lead. St. Lawrence scored a man-up goal with 1:50 left, but could not pull any closer.
St. Lawrence outshot the Knights 44-28 and held a 30-26 edge in groundballs. Clarkson, behind a strong effort from junior Jon Furgal (New Hartford, NY) (12-18), controlled the faceoffs 12-20.
Junior Mike Simmons (Clinton, CT) picked up a team-high four groundballs. Senior defenseman Evan Renwick (Wappingers Falls, NY) recorded two caused turnovers.
The Knights were 0-4 in extra-man opportunities, while the Saints were 1-of-3.
Clarkson, which has won three of its last four games, owns a 3-9 overall record and a 2-1 Liberty League mark. The Knights host conference foe Hamilton College on Saturday night in a 7:00 p.m. game under the lights at Hantz Turf Field.

Any funny Thanksgiving stories to share?
Can't remember a good Thanksgiving story but I have a good Christmas one. When I was older and not living at home one Christmas my Mom invited all the aunts uncles and cousins over for dessert at her house and we decided to run to church before they came and I was the last one to leave her house and we were late so I just pushed the inside lock in instead of using the key to lock the deadbolt. So we get home from church and my mother is trying to unlock the door and she can't get in, turns out she doesn't have the key to that lock so I suggest we just go in the back, turns out she doesn't have the key to her own back door either! And here come the guests driving up in their cars and it's Chicago and freezing cold, my uncles ended up having to break the door frame to bust the door down!
Did you end up eating the dessert? Thanks Patty, I am hiding some keys somewhere in the yard.
Marion, oh, yes, desserts were eaten, we Chicagoans don't mess with cold, we stamped our feet about for about 5 minutes before deciding that breaking the door down was really the only civilized thing to do.
My mother was also famous for making jello molds she would forget to put out, kind of like a jello amnesia. And growing up something would always break when company was coming for Christmas--the toilet, the oven, nothing too indispensable.
It's going to be hard without her, I have so many memories of decorating the tree and the house and today we decorated her grave instead. Last night my siblings and I picked ornaments from her collection. We also used to do a lot of holiday baking, can you imagine about half a dozen kids "helping" you bake? Oh, what a floury mess! She would lose her patience sometimes with so many kids but not when we did our Christmas baking, it was pure joy and holiday spirit.
Your Mom was a Saint alone for the help that she accepted while baking for Christmas. I can just imagine what the kitchen looked like. What a wonderful family you are and what great memories to cherish. I love your stories.
Patty - I loved your story - it made me laugh. Your Mom sounds like qutie a lady! You will always have these memories of her in your heart .
Love - joyce

Review: The Quest AT Inferno is by far a distance record breaker for me. This disc is designed for big distance but doesn't need a big arm. It has an incredible high speed turn and comes back nicely at the end of the flight resulting in a straight long shot. The Inferno has a great grip, feel, and durability. It's almost impossible to throw this disc badly since it seems to correct itself shortly after leaving your hand. A must disc to have!

Review: A new review of the Inferno. Originally I HATED this disc. I believed it to be a stable driver like an Orc or at least a TeeBird, not knowing it was understable, which explained why I thought the disc was a POS. But now I know that the disc is understable, and with this newfound knowledge decided to buy another one, only this time, releasing it to cause a hyzer-flip and now I LOVE this disc. It doesnt go as far as my Diablo-DT's, but when I need uphill distance this disc delivers!!! It has amazing speed and glide, so I primarily use it for long uphill drives, and use my Diablo-DT's for flat out distance on flat ground. But as stated in my first review, DO NOT throw into the wind. If you want max distance out of this disc then throw hyzer-flip!

Review: Love the inferno. This disc feels great in hand with lots of grip and rip. I definitely added 50 feet to my drives using this disc. This disc reminds me of Discraft's XS when it first came out, but the Inferno flies farther. Great flight characteristics to boot. I highly recommend it.

Review: Someone kindly included an old beat up 175 Inferno as an extra disc in a trade to me. This disc rolls like a dream: It's very easy to stand up, rolls long and predicably. But that is not all. Oh no that is not all. The Inferno is also the ideal hyzer flip distance line disc. It's also great for hitting gaps and carving lines through the woods at about 80% power.

Review: This disc has so much control for shots 400 to 450! Yes if you throw it wrong it will flip! If you have proper form and good tech, it is the best long range control driver on the market.

Review: I purchased this disc at a tournament becuase I had heard some good things about it. On the first throw I realized that Gateways stabilty ratings are a bit off. For anyone with any power this is going to be a turnover disc. If I rip it at full power without putting a good bit of hyzer on it the disc quickly turns over and takes off rolling. Also, the E plastic is nothing like the durablilty of champion, star, ESP, or Z plastic like gateway tries to claim. It is at best as durable as elite X plastic. This disc can add some distance if you are an average thrower, but I found it very unpredictable. It also is horrible in the wind. Any head or side wind and you might as well leave it in the car.

Review: The last guy to post was on something IMO. Everyone I know thinks that the Inferno is great for people with slower arm speed as well as bigger arms when thrown at 70% power. The disc is not overstable and is great for big anhyzers as well as 70% power shots that will CRUISE down a tunnel on a perfectly straight line.

Review: First off, this disc is not for beginners. The Inferno requires a strong arm. As soon as the Inferno loses speed it will break out of its glide and take a hard left plunge to the ground. Also note, this disc is TERRIBLE in the wind. It is an overstable disc that becomes more so the slower it is thrown, which can be a good and a bad thing. The disc can come in some pretty high weight classes. I would recommend no more than 172. My 176 is quite a workout. When i first got the disc i could not throw it. It took me about 5 outings of throwing my arm out until i could control it. The Inferno shines when it has as much speed as u can put into it. The disc needs to be released at an angle that negates its natural overstablity. I got used to throwing like this by leaning way back as i released it. The disc is known for its huge distance, but it cannot achieve this flying in a straight line. The Inferno is the GOD of the S-curve. Its perfect for long open drives, and weaving around obstacles. A great tool for any experienced player, not much benefit for a beginner.

Review: Before I got an Inferno, I used a Spectra. I had been looking for the perfect max D driver for awile. When I first started, I used a dragon, but it was too slow. Then I tried a: Dx Wraith, Z Flash, Esp Surge, and then the Spectra, but all of them just didn't work for me. I found the Inferno while browsing on gdstours.com. When I heard the Pros talk about it, I was amazed! I thought to myself "I have to get one!". Then I got one last week and it was awsome! It added 40' right away. The Inferno has the speed and glide of the Wraith with the straight flying performence of the TL. It is a disc that can be used by both Beginners and Pros.

Review: Gateways new Inferno has been well recieved by good players. I have got one of the earlier runs. It is marked Gateway/Quest prototype as the stamp. The disc fits nicely in my hand, even though my hands are on the small side. The flightplate feels very thing and flexible. I usually throw teebirds around 290-310. The Inferno goes between 340-360 for me. You dont need to throw it very fast. I usually release it with a slight hyzer and it will flip to flat and tracks very sligthly right before fading very slightly left. The great thing distance wise with this disc is that it has very little lateral fade. It seems that the disc fades mostly forward. The plastic added with the "watermarks" that are on the edge of the disc help with grip. As far as durablity is concerned it seems to wear slowly. But again I havent had the disc for that long and I only use it for open holes. So I dont know how it takes treehits. It flies much longer than the previously mentioned DX Tbird, but also I throw ProD Cyclones and X Avengers. These all go rather similar distances for me. With the cyclones going smidgin shorter.

Review: I recently purchased a brand new Inferno from Dave McCormick himself. He was sponsoring a tournament I was playing in, and he allowed me to throw the new Inferno driver. I loved it at first and bought it immediately. The next day I was throwing in my backyard and this disc does not hold up at all in the wind and flipped over into ground very easily. Like the Quarter K, you smack something and its done. This disc was such a waste of $10.

Review: I have neglected posting any reviews lately because I spend so much time on the fourm, but thought I should talk up some of the discs that have been changing my game: The new addition to gateways high speed driver line is something different. The E inferno is not really E plastic, its somewhere between E and H (or innova comparison between Star and Pro), so its not as durable as most E plastic discs. (I do hear David M is going to run them in regualar E soon) Stability is alittle less than a wraith. For me the rim is easier to grip than any other wide rim driver due to the sof t curved inner rim. But whats most amazing about this disc is it comes out of its turn into the fade much more gently and later than any driver of its speed (11+). Its pretty controlable for a Max D Driver, w/ some hyzer you can toss it on a straight line, but its best for long gentle S shots for max D. I really only throw it when I need a high distance line, such as over trees, or max D in an open field. It yields about 40-50' more distance over my SOLF and about 25-30' over my SOLS. (or a touch longer than a wraith, or 30' longer than an avenger on a golf line)

Review: Great disc, saw on a website decided to give it a shot. Its very easy to throw, different type of design, extremely hard edges, soft plastic in the middle. Its very easy to put this disc on a line and watch it hit it dead on. Another plus is its very hard to turn over. Only downside is its probably not going to give you the longest throw I can put it at 300-310' but it will be the straightest driver you've ever thrown. I believe you can get 400-425' out of this disc with a perfect throw.

Review: This thing is Fast and glides like crazy. I will tell you that it is weird though. You have to let it go at like a 45 degree angle or it flips off to the right big time. But if you get a hold of this thing it will fly probably 10-20 metres past your usual drive. A real course shortener.

Dark Souls II Latest News
Dark Souls III 'confirmed' with E3 promo image, launching in 'Early 2016'
The skulking rumour of RPG Dark Souls III has been slain by the fact it actually does exist. IGN has revealed a promotional image for the From Software developed sequel which has 'Early 2016' stamped on it.
The E3 image shows an armour-clad hero looking a little rough. It was believed a new entry in the unforgiving RPG series would appear this month at E3 2015 next week, and now it seems it will.
Rumour: Dark Souls III to unveil at E3, first details and images leak
It seems leaks have sprung for Dark Souls III which is rumoured to be appearing next week at E3 2015 in California. The tough-as-nails RPG has also let some alleged screenshots surface, according to YouTube channel The Know.
They also claim to have some of the very first details, like how a PC version is 'negotiable'. It will support 1-4 players, 10 playable classes, 45 new enemies, 15 new bosses, 60 mins of cutscenes, and even 'sword fighting arts'.
Dark Souls 2 patch fixes longstanding weapon durability bug
From Software has released a patch for the PC version of Dark Souls 2 that fixes a particularly irritating bug which degraded your weapons at ridiculous rates when you struck enemy corpses or environmental objects.
Weapon durability mechanics are, of course, unforgivable at the best of times, but this bug made the issue much, much worse - the decrease rate was tied to your frame rate, which meant if you were running a 60FPS game all your hard-earned magical swords would snap like kindling if you so much as stumbled against a door.
PC Dark Souls 2 owners can upgrade to Scholar of the First Sin for a discounted price
Bandai Namco has revealed a few different upgrade options for PC Dark Souls 2 players who want to pick up the forthcoming enhanced edition, Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin.
Rather than forcing us to splash out full price for the game again, there are two separate prices; one for those who own the original base game only, and one for those who've already bought its DLC.
Free update for Dark Souls 2 adds a new boss fight and ending
Dark Souls 2 was patched yesterday, and along with the gameplay adjustments we were promised, there's a few surprises for those that manage to complete its final boss fight. *Spoiler Klaxon Initiated*
The new patch is a free update released in preparation for the forthcoming Scholar of the First Sin Edition, which will charge players full price again if they want to get the graphics we were promised in the first place. NOT THAT I'M BITTER.

Brandon Brooks Scouting Report
|Miami (OH) Redhawks
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|6'5 - 343 lbs.
|Draft Prediction:
|Fourth Round
2012 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Brandon Brooks, OG, Miami (OH)
Competition in the Mid American Conference did not live up to expectations but that didn't stop Brooks from being one of the more impressive players at that level. He moves very well once he gets moving. As a run blocker, he performs best as a zone blocker. He's not really the type to drive forward and just dominate another player. Brooks takes good angles to the second level and has a natural bend. Despite a lack of lateral quickness, he doesn't have many 'bad' steps where he is wasting motion or inactive.
Brooks could afford to use his hands better as a pass blocker. He needs his hands to stay active and engage since he doesn't have the brute strength to impose his will, per se. He has a very good motor and mean streak. Brooks could also afford to shed a few pounds and improve upon his conditioning, not because he takes plays off but simply because, as mentioned, he's a bit overweight.

Three alarm house fire in Portland
When Portland Fire crews arrived on the scene of a house fire near 41st and Southeast Ramona Friday morning they knew it would be difficult to fight. There were flames from the first and second floors.
The ceiling collapsed on firefighters working on the second floor. A natural gas line in the attic ruptured causing the fire to burn more intensely.
Crews had to pull out of the house and fight the blaze defensively.
The fire was so hot that it caught a neighboring house on fire and the flames spread into the attic.
One person suffered burn injuries and was hospitalized.

A naked man is accused of brutally attacking a hunter in a remote wooded area Thursday morning.
Deputies were called to the Manning area north of Banks in unincorporated Washington County at 9 a.m.
They said a naked man attacked the hunter, but the hunter was eventually able to get the upper hand and held the clothingless suspect at gunpoint until authorities could reach the scene.
Deputies said it was very difficult to locate the men because of the thick forest and steep terrain. They used air horns and had the hunter blow a whistle to pinpoint his exact location.
Once they found him after about 90 minutes of searching, deputies detained the naked man and began to learn more about the bizarre situation.
The victim said the suspect, identified as Linus Norgren, 20, made a reference to Sasquatch before his violent outburst.
The 58-year-old hunter said Norgren used a rock the size of an apple to hit him on the head multiple times. The victim said the naked man also used a piece of clothing to choke him.
When Norgren stopped the attack, the victim used his hunting rifle to keep the suspect in the area. Deputies said the man had the gun on Norgren when they finally found the scene.
Deputies still don't have a motive for the attack or a reason why Norgren was naked.
He was taken to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries and then booked in jail on charges of second-degree assault, strangulation and menacing. Additional charges are expected as the investigation continues.
The hunter was taken to the hospital. His wife told Fox 12 he was getting a CT scan Thursday afternoon. Deputies did not believe his injuries were life-threatening.

How does cellulose, which is in fact a sugar molecule, strengthen wood?
Why is this molecule important for termites?
Despite the fact that koalas cannot digest cellulose, the primary material of eucalyptus, how is this molecule utilized in the koala bear's system?
"Sugar" generally reminds people of something that they add to their tea or something sweet they eat. However, the sugar we use in our daily lives is a derivate of sugar molecule which is found in a variety of forms in nature and used in a wide range of areas. Sugar molecule is one of the members of the large family, called "carbohydrates" in chemistry. Carbohydrates are of great importance for living organisms. Glucose and glycogen, two of the most important energy sources of living beings; starch that is created through photosynthesis in plants, and cellulose, the most important constituent of the cell wall of plants are all carbohydrates, that is, sugar molecules.
It is a little known fact that cellulose, a molecule that constitutes 50% of wood texture and 90 % of cotton, is in fact a sugar molecule. However, the incredible features of cellulose are not limited to these.
Vital Qualities of Cellulose
Cellulose is a hard and water insoluble material. It is generally found in the protective walls of plants, tree branches, tree bodies and wooden textures of trees.
Cellulose is the primary component of the plant cell wall. Some plants, especially aquatic ones, are in a dangerous environment. These plants sometimes have to live in salt water, and sometimes in environments where the salt concentration is reduced due to the melting of snow or flux of lakes. They need a strong cell wall to protect themselves from such a harsh environment. That is why Allah has created tightly packed cellulose groups in plant cells. (Prof. Dr. Engin M. Gözükara, Biyokimya [Biochemistry], Vol. 1, 3. Edition, 1997, Nobel Tıp Kitabevleri, p. 232)
Although cellulose is a sugar molecule, a polysaccharide, like starch, it is not possible for humans to digest it as the glucose units in cellulose are bound together with glycosidic bonds. There is not an enzyme that can digest this bond in the alimentary canal of mammals. That's why cellulose is not a food source for us. It can only be digested by ruminants, since there are some microorganisms in the alimentary canals of these animals. These microorganisms can easily digest the cellulose in the body with their enzymes and transfer them into food and energy for the animal.
How Can A Sugar Molecule Strengthen Wood?
The hard and tough structure of the tree is formed thanks to cellulose fibers. What makes wood advantageous in buildings is this feature of cellulose. Cellulose, which is defined as a "stretchable and novel" material, is used in the building of structures and bridges that can stand still for ages, and the manufacture of furniture and many devices.
Wood consists of long, hollow cells that are laid end-to end. It is covered by spiral cellulose fibers. Moreover, these cells swim in "lignin", which is made of complex polymer structured gum. These spirally covered layers, make up 80 % of the total thickness of the cell wall and the part that carries the main load. When a wood cell is damaged, it absorbs the energy of the impact by splitting itself from the cells surrounding it. Although collapses create a deep crack along the fibers, the wood remains complete. Thus, the wood has the power to carry the entire load although it is broken.
Wood is an important material from the point of view that it absorbs the energies of low-speed impacts and reduces the damage impacts may cause. In the manufacture of "Mosquito" planes used in World War II, the most damage tolerant planes were built by sandwiching wood in plywood layers. The hardness and toughness of wood make it a reliable material. When the wood is breaking, cracking happens in such a slow way that one can see it before it is broken; and this feature allows us time to take necessary measures. (Julian Vincent, "Tricks of Nature", New Scientist, 17 August 1996, vol. 151, no. 2043, p. 39)
A material, made by taking the structure of wood as the model, is 50 times more durable than today's synthetic materials. This special structure of wood is imitated in materials developed to provide special security against destructive, high speed bullets and bombs. However, it is impossible for scientists to imitate a piece of wood, with all its qualities. Every detail in the creation of wood – the refinement of its layers, the number of veins, its arrangement and constituents - are all specially created to provide this strength.
Everything in the heavens and the earth glorifies Allah. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Surat al-Hadid, 1)

A family owned business that is still strong today. The Champion Juicer is the answer to every juicing problem. Because it operates on the mastication process, the Champion Juicer chews the fibers and breaks up the cells of vegetables and fruits. This give you more fiber, enzymes, vitamins and trace minerals. This all results in the darker, richer color of the juice and a sweeter, richer more full-bodied flavor. COMMERCIAL UNITS G5-PG710, Heavy duty front and rear ball bearing installation for smoother running, maximum R.P.M.'S. Added winding capacity which increases starting torque and allows the motor to run cooler increasing the durability factor and performance under heavy use conditions. Variable 110/220 volt 50/60 hertz with stainless steel shaft for longer wear. Can be converted for domestic or overseas use.

Champion Juicer Grain Mill Attachment for Champion Juicers FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: My juicer worked fine the first time but now when I plug it in it doesn't turn on? A: The newer model Champion Juicers have a sensor located on the juicing parts that will not allow the unit to operate unless all parts are properly positioned (refer to trouble-shooting section of the owner's manual). Q: My juicer produces warm juice even though I juice as slowly as possible. Why? A: Warm juice can only be created by operating the unit to slowly. The Champion requires a constant introduction of new material. (Average juice time to make 1qt. = 6 min) Q: Why does my juicer make a loud clicking noise when I feed vegetables into it? A:The clicking sound is created by the motor's centrifugal switch. 1st possibility is feeding the unit to aggressively. 2nd possibility could be a dull cutter. Q: What is the best way to keep my juicer looking new? A: Good clean up is important. Soaking the parts overnight in a strong solution of dish soap. If stains are extreme add bleach to the solution, then rinse thoroughly. Q: Is it safe to put my juicers parts in the dishwasher? A: NO, these parts are not dishwasher safe. The parts are made from stainless steel and then laminated with nylon. These two materials heat and cool differently and would eventually cause a problem. Q: What's the difference between the regular screen and the optional large hole screen? A: It's just like it sounds. The regular screen has holes that are smaller to allow less pulp into the juice. The large hole screen allows a much greater amount of pulp to enter juice. (Approximately 50% more pulp. This will vary depending on material). Q: Will the grain mill attachment work on my older Champion Juicer? A: The optional grain mill will work on all Champions produced over the years. Some small size modifications are required for customers having extremely old juicers. Q: How often should I replace my cutter? A: The cutter wear is based on usage. Customers using the Champion only occasionally may get 10-15 years of service. With heavy use the cutters need replacement every 18-24 months. If you have concerns our customer service people can assist you. For all repair and defect issues pertaining to Champion Juicer's 10 Year Limited Warranty, please see our Suggested Use tab.

Handmade only for Hammacher Schlemmer in County Wicklow, Ireland, this is the genuine walking stick bearing the same name as the town traditionally known as the source of its origin centuries ago—Shillelagh. Crafted from coppiced blackthorn (Prunus spinosa), selected for its superior weight-to-hardness ratio, unlike inauthentic versions that fuse a blackthorn handle with a hazel shaft. Each stick is sustainably harvested from specimens of the stout wood in remote areas of County Wicklow, Cork, and Kerry. The knobbed handle is sanded smooth and the shaft is painted in a black enamel and lacquered with a high-gloss finish—no two sticks are identical, so each one made is unique. Thought to have elongated into its present form from its shorter fighting stick predecessor, today they are used by farmers for herding sheep or cattle, or simply as walking companions—many are considered family heirlooms. Every stick is finished with a copper tip. Presented in our signature green nylon bag. Sticks are 36"-39" long. (1 lb.)

Expected the Irish to take more pride
By Genie
from San Antonio, TX
I was very excited about getting such a unique Christmas gift for my husband. The H.S. bag made a great presentation, but I suspect quality control did not unwrap the shillelagh before sliding it in.The varnish is sloppily applied and there are flecks of what appears to be the enamel,varnished into the handle area.I will let my husband decide whether or not he wants to keep it. Personally, I expect more pride in workmanship from my fellow Irishmen.Do they all look like this? The one in the catalog didn't.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not as advertised!
By Chris
from Colorado Springs, CO
It was to be a gift and used primarily as a cane. The picture in your catalog showed a twisted cane, very stylish and KOOL. What I received was a straight varnished stick with a brass cap and a handle. Not stylish and NOT KOOL. Very disappointed!
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. Since each of these are uniquely handcrafted, the length and width of each stick varies slightly. Please remember that we back our merchandise with a lifetime guarantee. Should you ever find that an item doesn't perform to your satisfaction, our customer service team is available 24 hours a day at 1-800-321-1484 to assist you with returning it.

Thin stick
By Peter unpleased
from Westchester NY
Based on the picture in the catalogue I assumed that this cane was of standard dimensions. In fact it is quite thin and while made of a seemingly good quality wood I would not depend on it for stabilization.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. Since each of these are uniquely handcrafted, the length of each stick varies slightly but should be within the indicated length in the description.

Bought two-one OK, one flimsy
By Abe
from Queens, NY
Even the one that is OK is less than expected. The other one is like a twig. Not at all the substantial walking stick that was anticipated.

I was slightly disappointed.
By Dave
from Pine Mountain, Georgia
I use it for a walking stick,and the root end makes a comfortable handle. For the price alittle more detail could have put in the black are such as lightly sending the bumps to indicate some wear. I intend to do this to improve its appearance.

Surprisingly bad
By Rob
from North Kingstown, RI
The first one I received was defective, with large cracks running down the body. HS was very good about getting a replacement right out. Unfortunately, the replacement was not useable due to the grip actually coming to a point where you would place your palm. Can't exactly put a lot of weight on a pointy object, rendering it useless as a cane. Finish was messy as well.

Desaign is good but it's hard to use
By Josh
from Yokohama Japan
It's better if customer can chose the length of this stick and easy to grab the handle.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. Since each of these are uniquely handcrafted, the length of each stick varies slightly but should be within the indicated length in the description.

Not a real walking stick.
By lennyloon
from NYC
Over all poor quality. Thin stick that gets thicker towards the end forming an unpleasant overall appearance. May be the real black thorn wood, but not grown long enough to be of real use. A shame.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: At Hammacher Schlemmer, our goal is for you to be delighted with our products and our service. However, it is clear that this item fell far short of your expectations and for this you have our sincere apologies. Please remember that we back our merchandise with a lifetime guarantee.

An awe-inspiring feeling
By derf
from San Angelo, Texas
I have looked for a shillelagh for years, but only found imitations. I found these with an internet search, and realizing they were authentic and of traditional material, I didn't hesitate. Upon prompt receipt, I was astounded by the feeling when I held it in my hands. Awe-inspiring is the only thing that went through my mind! The fresh finish I'm certain will cure with age and use. Thank you for fulfilling a lifelong dream!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Irish Shillelagh
By Phil
from So Florida
I've been working on my family tree and found that most of my ancestors immigrated from Ireland. Like the shamrock, the shillelagh is a well known Irish artifact with an interesting history. Mine is a perfect sample of the Irish "walking stick" and a reminder of my heritage.

1 p.m. 52A02-1309-CR-808. Lake County Government Complex Auditorium. On August 25, 2012, animal control officers in Miami
County received a report that two dogs owned by Maddox Macy bit one of Macy's neighbors. The next morning, Officer
Roger Bowland accompanied two animal control officers to Macy's residence. Macy was uncooperative. Despite
being asked to calm down, Macy was loud and demanded answers from the officers. Officer Bowland threatened to arrest
Macy if she did not calm down.
Officer Bowland then walked across the street to the bite victim's house. Macy followed down the sidewalk and began "making a scene." Officer Bowland arrested Macy and placed her in the front seat of his police car. Macy opened the door of the car and continued to yell. Officer Bowland forced Macy back into the car, but Macy refused to put her feet inside the door. Officer Bowland had to pick up Macy's feet and place them inside the car. Macy was convicted of disorderly conduct and resisting law enforcement. Macy appeals her conviction for resisting law enforcement, arguing she did not forcibly resist.

Please answer my question based on the following statement:
Buddhaghosa further identifies that these four clinging types are causally interconnected as follows:
1. self-doctrine clinging: first, one assumes that one has a permanent "self."
2. wrong-view clinging: then, one assumes that one is either somehow eternal or to be annihilated after this life.
3. resultant behavioral manifestations:
3a. rites-and-rituals clinging: if one assumes that one is eternal, then one clings to rituals to achieve self-purification.
3b. sense-pleasure clinging: if one assumes that one will completely disappear after this life, then one disregards the next world and clings to sense desires.
Thus, based on Buddhaghosa's analysis, clinging is more fundamentally an erroneous core belief (self-doctrine clinging) than a habitualized affective experience (sense-pleasure clinging).

Phillies Need Antonio Alfonseca?

Ryan Howard starting against Jamie Garcia? YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG RYNE.

John Mayberry should be playing ever day. Needs that confidence. How many times you see that guy clutch. And Utley should should lead that every healthy year.
- June 21, 2014 6:14 AM
- GM-Carson said...
Mayberry has actually been pretty decent with the Phils over his career. Don't think he's an everyday player, but he should be getting most of the at bats right now until he proves otherwise.
- June 21, 2014 9:06 AM
- GM-Carson said...
Surprised one of my loyal constituents didn't call me out. The Phillies had only won 4 games in a row heading into last night, meaning it's now at 5 straight. A victory today would cause need for Alfonseca.
*I'm on vacation in Massachusetts, so forgive me for being slightly distracted.

Luis Garcia still has a 0.00 ERA for the Iron Pigs. 19 G, 21.2 IP, 22 K, 12 SV.
- June 21, 2014 10:23 AM
- Bob D said...
And they lose 2 in a row. Oh well - but they did not look like a bad team in doing so.
Mayberry's trade value is high now, may as well send him to someone who will pay.
No need for Alfonseco now, but maybe we can lure Urgetha "The Machette" Urbina away from jail or what ever he is doing now a days.
Howard may actually end the year with some impressive numbers especially in RBI's
- June 22, 2014 8:31 PM

Adam Dunn hits homeruns and collect RBIs too, doesn't make him a good player or worth $25M
- June 22, 2014 8:58 PM
- GM-Carson said...
Shutout for the 10th time this season.
- June 23, 2014 10:54 PM
- Bob D said...
Looking at Phillies all time stats and Utley is making his way into top 10 in many areas. If he sticks around he could be top 5 in many.
9th inning was ugly, made a close game look bad.
Asche with 3 hits has been looking good hitting lately.

Fox Provides Platform For Misleading Attack On Women In Combat
Fox guest Robert Maginnis baselessly speculated that allowing women in combat occupations would lower military standards, contradicting research that shows the decision will not degrade the combat effectiveness of the military.
In January 2013 Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Martin Dempsey signed an order [1] rescinding the exclusion of women from ground combat explaining "[f]or occupational specialties open to women, the occupational performance standards must be gender-neutral."
In a July 29 Washington Times op-ed Lt. Col. (ret) Robert Maginnis claimed that incorporating women into the armed forces combat units is the "real 'war on women.'" Maginnis further claimed [2] that the "decision to put women in combat bespeaks our deep confusion over manhood and womanhood." The op-ed included an image of a silhouette of a woman in a camouflaged dress riddled in bullets:
On the July 30 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade introduced an interview with Maginnis by claiming "the reality is our military might have to lower its standards in order to help" women qualify for service. Maginnis attacked the "radical feminists" in the Obama administration adding "there are differences between men and women and we have to maintain our fighting edge."
But military officials have maintained that high standards are important and service members must meet gender neutral qualifications for their occupation. USA Today explained [3] that military leaders want standards that meet the qualifications of the position:
"The department's goal in rescinding the rule is to ensure that the mission is met with the best qualified and most capable people, regardless of gender," Panetta said.
"I'm not talking about reducing the qualifications for the job -- if they can meet the qualifications for the job, then they should have the right to serve," he said.
That does not mean the standards may not change. Army Gen. Robert Cone said the physical standards will be studied and set and be the same for men and women.
Army spokesman Lt. Col. Stephen Platt explained [4] that gender-neutral occupational standards "will enable us to select those best qualified for positions and may reduce non-combat related injuries for both men and women." A Bloomberg article quoted [5] Army Lt. Gen. Howard Bromberg who stressed that the Army is "prepared to respond to misperceptions that standards will be lowered." Bromberg noted that the "use of valid, equal standards for men and women should make clear the fairness of job qualifications." Juliet Beyler the Defense Department's director of officer and enlisted personnel management agreed, "We're not going to lower standards," saying it's "not a matter of lowering or raising standards. The key is to validate the standard to make sure it's the right standard for the occupation."
Military research has also shown that women are capable of serving in combat. The Military Leadership Diversity Commission reported [6] that research has not shown that women lack the physical capacity to perform combat duties "or that gender integration has a negative effect on unit cohesion or other readiness factors." A December 2012 report released by the Congressional Research Service highlighted [7] the Under Secretary of Defense's report that physical demands and co-location of ground combat forces would not adversely affect the mission:
Hypothetically speaking, if a female soldier carries 70 pounds of equipment five miles and exerts the same effort as a male carrying 100 pounds of equipment the same distance, the differing standards could be viewed as 'gender-neutral' because both exerted the same amount of effort, with differing loads. Such differing loads, in certain scenarios, may or may not matter, particularly in terms of ammunition, medical equipment, communications equipment, and medical supplies, commonly carried by foot soldiers. (According to a U.S. Army Report, a rifleman in Afghanistan can be expected to carry an average fighting load of 63 lbs. to an average Emergency Approach March Load of 127 lbs.
The proposal allows commanders to co-locate women in open occupational specialties with ground combat units noting that the "[r]emoval of the co-location operating restriction responds to the current operational environment."
Fox's report also failed to note that military officials [8] and prominent veterans [9] support [10] the policy change.
