This isn't shocking news, as it's from Sony and all. It was kinda expected.
The PlayStation Vita officially supports PSOne Classics games now. But not all of them, at least not officially. As of today, you'll be able to get .... thirteen of them from the PlayStation Store directly through the Vita. You can get many that aren't on the store, if you have previously bought them on PS3 or PSP, by checking your account's download history and downloading from there.
But that doesn't work for every game many PSOne games are not available for download onto Vita through your history. Many of those can be copied to Vita from PS3 ... if you happen to have them sitting on your PS3 without installing them. And that doesn't cover all games either.
This is absurdly complicated, and doesn't make a damn bit of sense. And it's completely familiar to any Vita owner who has tried to copy their digital PSP collection over.

Poor US Vita owners...
I hope SE/Sony releases Vagrant Story in the NZ Store, but I highly doubt it since its been missing for such a long time.Bow down before Drippy - Lord High Lord of the Fairies

Typical Sony. Not surprising at all.
08-28-2012 #4
Yeah its a total blunder from SCEA. $#@! knows what they are thinking
08-28-2012 #5
It's strange that SCEE isn't the one sucking ass for once. Don't know what SCEA are doing. I know new titles will be rolled out every week, but 13 titles is a bit..ummm...

It's kinda like saying "ps3 will give you 1080p gaming" and only releasing a few games over the decade that fits that description lol.
"1.80 will give you PSOne support" (ahem, just no games being released)

It's related in a small sense, but still related. Surely they will be up and running with these games being put on the store, etc. Hopefully, they'll be updated fairly quick too. We'll see.

Optimistically, I'll go with that. Realistically, *trying to remember when they said PSOne support would be included during the launch?..... It was on a Q&A on their support site. It was said that the Vita will be able to play PSP, Minis, and PS One games. It won't be able to play PS3 or PS2 games. That was back in November of last year. How long did it take them to enable the PSOne support in an emulator that was already running under the guise of a PSP?
That's the main issue...

Yeah a real shame. Reminds of the 360 dropping Xbox compatibiltiy apart from MS games too. Plus it didn't even have a list (that I was aware of at the time) so held off buying old XBox games I missed out on.
They should either support things like this entirely or not at all instead of being staggered.Be Together - Not the same.
08-29-2012 #19
The 360 had a decent list, but definitely a screw up on their part for sure. It was a great feature to have.

lol my last question was regarding the vita:
any of those can be copied to Vita from PS3 ... if you happen to have them sitting on your PS3 without installing them. And that doesn't cover all games either.Be Together - Not the same.

This is what European PS customers have to put up with with almost everything, nice to see them outdo SCEA for a change. Unless they rushed QA and most of the games end up freezing the Vita and whatnot, wouldn't be surprised.

Special Coverage
State of the Industry: IntŌĆÖl
TOKYO ŌĆō Japan finds itself at another critical juncture in its history, and itŌĆÖs anyoneŌĆÖs guess where the country and its powerful automotive industry will go from here.
The global recession has battered the nationŌĆÖs exports and economy. Unemployment is hitting record highs. A ŌĆ£shift to thriftŌĆØ is reducing consumer spending. Domestic auto sales are slumping toward their lowest level in 32 year; and new, untested political leaders now are in power.
ŌĆ£We are entering the realm of the unknown,ŌĆØ Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama admits at a mid-September press conference here.
Hatoyama and his Democratic Party won a landslide victory in August, taking 308 of the 490 seats in the Japanese Diet (Parliament) and ousting the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which has ruled the country virtually without interruption since the end of World War II.
The Hatoyama government is proposing a sharp sea change, rejecting the past cozy trinity of politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen credited with guiding the country to postwar prosperity and blamed more recently for mismanagement and the economic malaise.
The new leaders are promising to address public needs, not those of big business, by increasing social benefit and stimulating consumer spending to reduce over-reliance on exports as the countryŌĆÖs main economic driver. But the challenges to these changes are formidable.
Chris Richter, a senior industry analyst with CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets in Tokyo, believes things will be harder for the auto industry, at least in the short to medium term.
ŌĆ£The Japanese economy is the deepest in debt country in the world,ŌĆØ he says. ŌĆ£The prescription is for a lot more government spending, a stronger yen, reduced labor-force flexibility and an increased risk of flight from manufacturing jobs.ŌĆØ
The ┬ź15.4 trillion ($162 billion) stimulus plan introduced by the LDP in April worked no wonders. Indeed, the Bank of Japan is forecasting a contraction of 3.4% for fiscal-2010, the second year in a row of negative growth.
Critics claim the new political leaders do not have a viable economic recovery plan to stop the down slide.
ŌĆ£The Japanese economy may have pulled back from the brink, but it is still loitering too close to the cliff edge for comfort,ŌĆØ says Michael Wynn-Williams, author of ŌĆ£Surfing the TideŌĆØ and a former senior auto analyst with IHS Global Insight.
ŌĆ£Any recovery depends on trade, and both exports and imports are in the doldrums,ŌĆØ he adds, noting exports dropped in August for the 11th straight month, down 36% year-in-year.ŌĆØ
Kota Yuzawa, a senior analyst with Goldman Sachs Japan, predicts the countryŌĆÖs global auto sales likely ŌĆ£will decline 7% this year and grow 1% in 2010 and 7% in 2011.ŌĆØ
The outlook is bleaker for the domestic market, where vehicle deliveries have plummeted from a peak of 7.7 million in 1990 to 5 million last year, reflecting an aging and declining population as well as a younger generation increasingly indifferent to car ownership.
The $3.9 billion now being spent on incentives for domestic-car purchases as part of the government stimulus program has helped sales but failed to end the long-term downward trend and is scheduled to end next March.
ŌĆ£The new government has other programs to pay for and will probably not extend the incentives, so the risk is for lower automotive demand next year,ŌĆØ Richter says.
Yuzawa expects domestic light-vehicle sales to drop 5% this fiscal year, with additional declines of 10% and 5% in the following two fiscal years.
Profits are suffering as well. ŌĆ£With the yen now around 95:$1, compared to ┬ź115 in 2007, auto maker earnings in the current fiscal year will be 70% below peak levels,ŌĆØ he predicts.
Yuzawa foresees Toyota Motor Corp. breaking even for fiscal-2010, far better than the auto makerŌĆÖs gloomy forecast of a ┬ź750 billion ($7.89 billion) operating loss.
He expects modest operating profits for Honda Motor Co. Ltd. of ┬ź140 billion ($1.5 billion), Nissan Motor Co. Ltd., ┬ź70 billion ($769 million), and Suzuki Motor Corp., ┬ź50 billion ($549 million), while anticipating operating losses for Mitsubishi Motors Corp. and Mazda Motor Corp.
As bad as itŌĆÖs been for the Japanese auto makers, they are beginning to recover and are in better shape than most, if not all, of their competitors. Of special concern are the implications of HatoyamaŌĆÖs proposed ŌĆ£Green CarŌĆØ policy.
ŌĆ£A 25% reduction in carbon-dioxide from1990 levels by 2020 is contingent on other countries doing the same,ŌĆØ says David Blume, managing director-Jaguar Land Rover Japan.
ŌĆ£But (Hatoyama) obviously is projecting a major shift in JapanŌĆÖs auto population toward fewer, cleaner, more-economical, fuel-efficient vehicles, which will completely renew that population in 10 years.ŌĆØ
Yuzawa expects plug-in electric hybrids to become a mainstream technology in the next five years and foresees hybrids of all types accounting for more than 20% of total annual light-vehicle sales in Japan by 2015. But he has reservations about the green-car target.
Yuzawa calculates this would require 2 million hybrid or other environmentally friendly vehicles to be sold domestically in each of the next 10 years ŌĆō nearly half of the anticipated new-car sales.
This likely would be a far bigger boost in such sales than auto makers conveniently could handle and raises doubts about unrealistic political ambitions.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre probably getting to the tipping point in alternative energy vehicles,ŌĆØ Richter says. ŌĆ£The push-and-pull of consumer interest and government policy will increase their share greatly. The savvier Japanese makers understand this is the wave of the future.ŌĆØ
As which car companies make what models where in the world becomes more complex, JLRŌĆÖs Blume says new technology, know-how and value-added wrinkles still will originate in Japan.
However, he and other industry experts agree the main sales emphasis and action now will be overseas, especially in the U.S. and the emerging markets of Asia, South America and Eastern Europe.
ŌĆ£For Japanese auto makers, demand in Western Europe will be down 10% next year,ŌĆØ Yuzawa predicts. ŌĆ£The driving force for growth will be in Southeast Asia and the U.S. Their sales in China will grow, but bottom-line contributions will be less.
ŌĆ£And by 2011, (Japanese auto makers) will probably start to lose market share globally, because they canŌĆÖt keep pace with the rapid growth in China and other emerging markets.ŌĆØ
Former Global Insight analyst Wynn-Williams agrees. ŌĆ£Over the long term, the only substantial growth in (vehicle) demand will occur in the emerging countries of the world, which are ambitious to develop their own automotive industries.ŌĆØ
With the yen currently hovering at about ┬ź90:$1, foreign-exchange risk has become ever more critical. Vehicle exports ŌĆō 6.7 million units in 2008, 58% of total Japanese production ŌĆō are becoming ever more expensive and less competitive.
ŌĆ£If the yen stays strong, Toyota and Honda may have to leave money on the table, because they canŌĆÖt afford to export some models like the Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris,ŌĆØ Richter says. ŌĆ£They may decide (to) make them and other models, including the Prius and Insight, in the U.S.ŌĆØ
Japanese auto makers already can churn out more than 12 million vehicles annually in foreign plants. And although many now are running well below capacity, overseas production is becoming even more attractive.
For instance, Nissan recently shifted production of the March to Thailand and exports some units back home.
TokyoŌĆÖs Asahi Shimbun newspaper cites Honda CEO Takanobu Ito as saying his company plans to limit car production in Japan to 1 million units, disregarding the auto makerŌĆÖs 1.3 million-unit domestic capacity and shifting more output offshore.
ŌĆ£Given the risks involved, most of the vehicles exported from Japan should be made overseas,ŌĆØ Richter asserts, noting the most likely targets as North America, Eastern Europe, Turkey and low-cost Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand and Indonesia.
ŌĆ£Japanese auto makers are perfectly capable of completing the shift within 10 years, but I donŌĆÖt know if 10 years will be quick enough,ŌĆØ he adds.
China likely will overshadow the global industry in the next five to six years, says Ashvin Chotai, managing director for Intelligence Automotive Asia. He predicts nearly half of the industryŌĆÖs growth ŌĆō 9.5 million units out of a projected 20 million ŌĆō will come from China.
Chotai says China this year will pass Japan as the worldŌĆÖs largest vehicle-manufacturing country, and ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt think Japan will ever regain top-production status.ŌĆØ
Wynn-Williams warns the new government dare not underrate the impact of a rapidly aging population and dwindling workforce.
ŌĆ£Japan has a demographic time bomb requiring urgent attention,ŌĆØ he says. ŌĆ£The population is steadily shrinking and, by 2050, nearly half the people will be ineligible for work, either because they are too old or too young.
ŌĆ£This will be an intolerable burden, so taxes need to start rising now in order to have the financial structure in place in time.ŌĆØ
This could add impetus to the offshore shift of vehicle production, but as global competition quickens, there is no agreement about how well Japanese auto makers will fare in the future.
ŌĆ£Nobody is better at squeezing the costs out of manufacturing,ŌĆØ Blume says of the countryŌĆÖs auto makers. ŌĆ£They will recover well.ŌĆØ Richter agrees: ŌĆ£The forecast is cloudy with hopes of clearing later, and they are poised to gain, not lose, global market share.ŌĆØ
Wynn-WilliamsŌĆÖ view is more pragmatic. ŌĆ£The golden years for the Japanese car industry are now coming to an end,ŌĆØ he says. ŌĆ£The U.S. Big Three are leveraging their international contacts to develop vehicles that will challenge Japanese brands head-on. Europeans and South Koreans are hungry for more market share.ŌĆØ
But while JapanŌĆÖs industry may be on the wane, Blume is not counting it out. ŌĆ£Japanese auto makers have some of the most-advanced, most fuel-efficient cars in the world,ŌĆØ he says.
ŌĆ£They solved the product-quality issue 20 years ago. In the latest hybrid technologies, Japan Inc. is generations ahead of almost everybody.ŌĆØ

The Neverending Story occurs in the school attic, where Bastian reads the book he has stolen, and in Fantastica, the land where the action occurs and where Bastian goes after he enters the book. Bastian is outside of the school only at the beginning and at the end of the novel. At the beginning he is on his way to school when he stops in the bookstore and steals the book; at the end he goes home to his father and returns to the bookstore for a final meeting with Mr. Coreander.
As its name implies, Fantastica is a fantasy land, a fantastic place that "rests on a foundation of forgotten dreams" of all humankind. The characters of fantasy stories live in it, and the settings of fantasy stories form its terrain, making Fantastica a constantly changing landscape inhabited by characters who are at times bizarre, touching, or...

Per Shefter:
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the NFL is on the verge of brokering a deal with the NFLPA that would push the annual NFL draft into May.
Per Schefter, the league will also move the new league year (free agency and trades) to ahead of the Combine, which is typically held in late February. The NFL draft is typically held around the last weekend in April. The changes, which have been in the works for awhile, are designed to "keep fans' attention over a longer period" and "use the events to produce additional revenue."
I am thinking that in retrospect they are looking to possibly cut down on pre-season games eventually which is a good idea.

To help me decide on a topic for this week's column, I assembled a blue-ribbon commission. For members, I drew upon every sector of Maine's diverse population (if, by diverse, you mean mostly white, male, and old), choosing artists, scientists, educators, economists, business leaders, business followers, convenience-store clerks, TV-game-show hosts, people who bought me drinks in bars, and one guy selected because of his impressive growth of nose hair. I even convinced former US senator George Mitchell to chair the group, although he later had to be dismissed after insisting everyone submit a urine sample.
During two years of intense study, the panel interviewed hundreds of Mainers about what they wanted to read in a political column (most frequent answer: "more sex") and ordered out for thousands of meals ("steak and onions, with extra onions"). After lengthy deliberations, the members produced an 800-page report, including 300 charts, 14 appendices, and a centerfold nude photo of Maine's first lady, Karen Baldacci, her modesty protected only by stacks of discarded versions of her husband's budgets.
Eat your heart out, Brookings Institution.
Unfortunately, the report suffered from a failing common to such undertakings: It contained no conclusion. But the effort was hardly wasted. The document included an 84-point action plan for finding a subject for my next column ("Point 49: Send out for more beer. Point 50: And this time, don't get that crappy light stuff. Point 51: And how about some onions on this steak"), as well as a recommendation that the panel continue to meet to review progress ("at a location with an open bar and full menu").
By the time I'd finished reading all that, I was 130 weeks overdue with this column, and my liquor cabinet and refrigerator were both empty. Also, there were naked people in my shower. But at least this commission had been more productive than any similar group assembled in the state in the past 30 years.
For one thing, I could actually understand what it wrote ("We're out of bourbon. Also, onions"), as opposed to some other prestigious documents produced by similar assemblages of prominent policy wonks.
Take the aforementioned Brookings Institution's "Charting Maine's Future," which was issued in 2006 and contains this actual suggestion: "Invest in building a place-based, innovation-focused economy."
I think Mitchell might have been right about the urine testing.
Brookings' tome was hardly the only such effort to suffer from what a blue-ribbon commission on effective communication might dub non-focused, word-based jargonizing. In 2004, the Maine Arts Commission issued a study called "The Creative Economy In Maine," which contained these recommendations:
"Strengthen the creative cluster by enhancing interrelationships."
"Encourage asset mapping."
Oh, and that creative economy thing — the report's authors weren't exactly sure how to define it. As one of them told the Bangor Daily News, "What we were asked to do was begin to build a methodology that cuts across jurisdictions and states."
Good to know these people talk the same way they write.
In December 2007, the Governor's Council on Maine's Quality of Place (GCMQP, an acronym chosen because it mimics the mating cry of the yellow-nose vole) issued a report called "People, Place and Prosperity," which called for "an asset-based development strategy." Can't understand that simple phrase? GCMQP thoughtfully included this definition: "Asset-based development refers to initiatives that build upon regional strengths and capacities that stand out from the norm and have the potential to attract economic opportunities."

Does Topiramate Adjust the Excitability of the Brain in Migraine Sufferers?
Recruitment status was: Not yet recruiting

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of the study is to determine by the use of non-invasive magnetic stimulation if the medication Topiramate adjusts the excitability of the migraine sufferer's brain.
Previous studies have shown the migraine sufferer's brain is more excitable. The magnetic stimulation device has given us a way to look at excitability and to see if it changes at the same time that a headache diary shows if the pattern or severity of headaches changes with the administration of the drug Topiramate.
It is expected that as migraine sufferers have fewer headaches with topiramate the testing with magnetic stimulation will show that their brains are less excitable and that if the topiramate does not change the character of headaches then the pattern of excitabilty would not change from the baseline test before medication is started.
Condition | Intervention |
Migraine Chronic Headache |
Drug: Topiramate |
Study Type: | Observational |
Official Title: | Modulation of the Excitability of the Occipital Cerebral Cortex Using Topiramate |
Estimated Enrollment: | 10 |
Study Start Date: | February 2006 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | August 2006 |
We propose a clinic-based study to test the hypothesis that topiramate modulates the excitability of the occipital cortex in migraine. Subjects between 18 and 55 years old, who have migraine with aura according to IHS criteria will be recruited from the headache clinic. All eligible subjects will have occipital cortex stimulation using the Magstim 200 apparatus. Magnetic brain stimulation will be performed using the 95 mm round coil of the Magstim 200 stimulator. All subjects will be provided ear plugs to prevent possible noise damage to the ear. The recordings will be conducted in a semi-darkened room. Subjects will be asked to focus on the center of a dark screen. A 95 mm diameter circular coil will be applied to the occipital scalp in the midline, 7 cm anterior to the inion. Stimulator intensity will be increased in 10% increments until the subjects report seeing phosphenes (bright scintillating scotomata in the subjects visual field generated by occipital cortical stimulation) or until a maximum of 100% intensity is reached. generated by occipital cortical stimulation) or until a maximum of 100% intensity is reached. Stimulation intensity will be fine tuned to determine the threshold at which phosphenes can be barely seen. In those subjects who do not report seeing phosphenes till 100% intensity, the stimulator will be moved in 1 cm steps to try to define an optimum point for stimulation. No more than 20 stimulations will be given and the frequency shall be kept to less than 5/min. The threshold at which phosphenes are generated will be recorded. To assess inhibitory function of the occipital cortex a visual suppression method will be utilized. Timed TMS impulses usually 10% above phosphene threshold or where suppression is noted will be delivered. Subjects will be asked to report letters projected at a fixed luminance on the screen. Visual suppression will be calculated based on the number of errors the subjects make using an automated analysis. The study procedure will be repeated after the patients have taken topiramate at gradually increasing doses and have achieved stable dose for one month. Patients will be placed on 25 mg at night for 1 week, increased to 25 mg B.I.D. for one week and then maintained at 50 mg B.I.D.
d. There will be no placebo in the study. e. Topiramate will be used in the study.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 55 Years (Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | Yes |
Inclusion Criteria:
Subjects 18 to 55 years old with migraine headaches as defined by the International Headache Society (IHS).
Subjects must be willing to take topiramate for migraine prophylaxis
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Subjects with frequent tension headaches 2. Subjects with ill-defined head pain 3. Unable to be weaned off other headache prophylaxis. 4. Requiring daily use of centrally-acting medications. 5. Pregnant, lactating and women not on adequate birth control measures. 6. Subjects with a personal or family history of seizures of any type. 7. History of head injury or brain surgery. 8.

Remember That Other Site???
A while back I started another blog focussed more on the aspects of song writing, as opposed to gear. Sadly with the level of craziness going on at ye olde day job, having another baby, and life in general, I haven't been updating that blog very often. But guess what???? I updated it today! This post is directly related to my review of EZ Keys so it could be worth a read. Check it out.

lol heres the wreck
Well, since everyone is on the subject of whoring their cars out, so will I. I finally got wheels+tires on my car last week. The tires are a bit tall, gonna go 205/50 next time around, but its good enough to roll the 'turkey'(cars name lol) around for now. I couldn't agree more with the offset as its perfect. I was quite pleased to see it fit so well. Now for paint... *rockout*
http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/164...1131719rd4.jpg http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/71/...131719ftb5.jpg http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/875...1131720uk1.jpg |
seriously, that is awesome... got any more pics?
Someone is in for a lot of body work.
Colours?? Hmm... I wanted a Dark colour to offset the chrome. Dad wants it white. Rich doesn't really care as long as its fast. So I suggested at that moment, lets keep it the way it is, all junky and go school 'em at the track, hahaa wouldn't that be classic, seeing some rusty pile of crap blowing by in a Turboed flame of side exhaust gases. Dad didn't think that was funny. :D |
1 Attachment(s)
Ya I remember the "spit" for the turkey, looked dangerous LOL. White would look O.K. but I really like the flat grey.
wait a min, when did u get a 2002?
:confused: |
LOL I've had it for years Mike. Just not much motivation to finish, and me getting in troubles usually don't help for the monies department :D
So... unfortunately, nothing happened all year... Until today :D
I gave some parts a whirl for fitment purposes to see how things fit on a mockup motor. The pics are self explanatory, its just mocked up for now. The turbo needs to be rotated down I think... The used exhaust pipe I found, by coincidence must have been on a M10 before, since it fit mint. I will use it as a template to get a new 3" version made up. So I set out on making some new flanges, but I gave up halfway through because I got hungry... Maybe more progess next weekend. *rockout* http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/6...rborearyo3.jpg http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/7...bofrontjs5.jpg http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/8122/flangesn2.jpg http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/9302/flange2xl8.jpg |
Awsome man, get that thing on the road!
Do i spy a old school Callaway manifold? SICK!
Awesome...I actually dig the Turbo up top...more oldschool!
Keep the progress pics coming! |
Good for you.I remember seeing that shell when your Dad was building my motor. Paint it grey and put a set of those BBS racing wheels on that he has in the shop
Body work is over rated. Just drive it like that.
Awesome though. |

The cast and executive producers of "Dexter" are participating in a panel Thursday night (Sept. 12) at the Paley Center in Los Angeles, where they'll talk about the Showtime drama's farewell season.
All the major players will be in attendance, including everyone's favorite serial killer love story with Michael C. Hall and Yvonne Strahovski, and the event is sold out — but you're in luck. There will be a live stream of the panel available (above) starting at 10:15 p.m. ET/7:15 p.m. PT.
Note — if you seen something other than "Dexter" playing, do not be alarmed. It's a preview video that rolls before the panel starts.
The cast and creators will reflect back on the show's influence and impact, plus tease a little bit of what the fans can look forward to in the final two episodes. Join us here at 10:15 p.m. ET for the full live stream of the Paley Center panel.

So there was Yankee Hotel Foxtrot with those looming buildings. Then the egg on that unnervingly plain grey backdrop for A Ghost is Born. And then the ominous swirling birds on Sky Blue Sky. So how does Wilco follow all these very seriously titled records, with very seriously arty covers? Why, with Wilco (The Album), of course. And if the title alone wasn't enough to derail their melancholy train of records, they revealed the art work for their upcoming album and, well, there's a llama in a party hat. With this shot, we've either just missed the neatest, lamest kid's party of all time, or we're the first guests at a shindig that may, impossibly, be taking place in Germany, or at least on the patio of one of those weird cheese shops buried in the dark corner of your local mall. But while it's nice to see these guys lightening up, it's good to know they didn't go too crazy and ignore the strict llama leash laws. They're on the books for a reason, kids.
Wilco (The Album) will be out June 30 (at the latest, according to the band) on Nonesuch. [Pitchfork]

Aren't you suppose to get a deal? Glocks around here retail $549.00 then they offer discounts to LE or military. Hope your card gets processed so you can make your decision tomorrow.
This is a discussion on glock 19 m&p9 and an lcp within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; so i went to Whiteman AFB today to buy a couple new guns. i was going to buy a 19 and an lcp. well they ...
so i went to Whiteman AFB today to buy a couple new guns. i was going to buy a 19 and an lcp. well they didnt have a 19 instead they had the m&p9 i held it for the first time and i got to say it feels so much better than the glock. i like the controls and the grip angle is so natural. being only 3 oz. more i think i might go for it. whats your opinions? and i didnt end up with the lcp. even though i payed off my starcard i guess they forgot to tell me it takes 24hrs to process. so tomorrow i will be going back for the lcp. also i thought it weird that on a military instillation the glocks were around $600. i guess they dont honor the leo/military pricing on glocks. but the lcp was a good deal at $300.
Aren't you suppose to get a deal? Glocks around here retail $549.00 then they offer discounts to LE or military. Hope your card gets processed so you can make your decision tomorrow.
I love my 9c, wouldn't trade it for anything. I keep wanting to add a 19 to my collection, after hearing all of the hype. But every time I'm in a GS I have to pick it up, and every time, I put it back down. Just not the gun for me. But it is for thousands of other people. Buy what feels best in your hand.
PORP what holster do you carry it in. o i was mad when i got there. i drove an hour to get there to find out the woman on the phone taking my payment either didnt care for didnt know about the 24hr thing. the m&p was about $550. i like carrying owb i dont tuck my shirts in and i have a big chest and back so my shirts just drape over the owb gun to conceal really easy. and i love leather i have gotten pretty good at dealing with kydex so please dont suggest any kydex. thanks guys for the input
I mainly carry in a CrossBreed SuperTuck Deluxe. Wonderful holster as many others will attest to. I do want an OWB pancake style holster for my 1911 though, and I'm thinking about going with UBG.
i was going to get a shoulder holster for my next gun but i got to thinkin and here in missouri it has been in the 50s and 60s for the last couple weeks and i dont think ill be able to where the shoulder holster very much this year. i make my own iwb holsters like the crossbreeds they might not be as good looking if you could call them that but they only cost me $10 to make so i can easily make one for all my guns and have. but owb is my favorite and i am in need of advice on what works for you guys and what didnt work. thanks guys
Bought my MP9 and MP9c, sold my G19 and G26....never looked back. Better fit, better gun for me.

Best Choices for Self Defense Ammunition
After having a Glock-23 for over 12 years I was really wanting a Glock-19. After I researched and got to handle an M&P 9 this is what I got.
No regrets and haven't looked back. So far it's bee an awesome gun, and fits my hand probably 70% better than Glock.

Get th M&P better fit and feel is what alot of people say after handling both... we have 6 close family and friends who own M&P's and we all love them...

Accuracy ALWAYS WINS! So carry what you can hit with.
If you find yourself in a fair fight your tactics stink.
As Spec said the first thing people realize is how much better the grip angle is, and how the M&P feels in your hand. Then they get one and shoot it and realize they are boring reliable, and so the sickness begins. Buy with confidence......
Ccccccc what? Ccccccccccc Hawks!
Ok, Okay you guys twisted my arm on this gun, lol, now I need the mp9 or 9c to complement my mp15- love that dang rifle, so I can just imagine how solid thatsidearm is.

Thanks for the replies. I have decided on the m&p the grip is more of a 1911good style than the glock pointing the glock would make me have to retrain so now on to the holsters.

Sint Maarten became an autonomous country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands on October 10, 2010. On December 15, 2010, the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency allocated SX as the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for Sint Maarten.[1]
The sx top-level domain is managed by SX Registry SA, contracting technical operations to OpenRegistry.com with centers in Canada and Luxembourg. Registrars of sx domains must be accredited by the registry.
After an initial sunrise period to claim trademarked names, and registration periods for local priority, and landrush assignments[2] the registry opened general availability registrations to the public on 15 November 2012.[3] A local presence is not required of domain name registrants.
Registration phases[edit]
- Grandfather period to protect Sint Maarten holders of AN domain names ended May 2, 2012.
- Sunrise period to protect trademark holders was conducted from May 3 to July 4, 2012.
- Local Sint Maarten corporate and personal priority periods were from July 5 to September 4, 2012.
- Landrush period was from September 5 to October 4, 2012.
- General availability period during which anyone may register a SX domain name started November 15, 2012[3]

Aside from the silly name--C.R.E.A.M. is an acronym for "coffee rules everything around me"--I really like this three-month-old coffeehouse.
The upbeat shop, which took over the tired Java Creek location at Third Avenue and Columbine Street, pours locally based Coda Coffee and bakes their own pastries.
Don't miss pairing a smooth latte with a bite-size cupcake (try the red velvet) or a thick-cut, iced sugar cookie. The spot also serves hefty breakfast burritos and flaky scones.

Letter to Samuel Tarbox from son Franklin, 1849
Contributed by Westport Island History Committee
Nineteen-year old Franklin writes to his father, Samuel Tarbox, expressing grief at his mother's passing and describing his trip back to school at Kent's Hill. Franklin's mother died on October 6, 1848 (the letter is misdated; it would have been written in March 1849).
Franklin was the youngest son of Mary "Polly" Brown and Samuel Tarbox. He sends respects to "V" (Valentine) and Sarah, two of his siblings. His father was a town official, fishing and shipping merchant and gentleman farmer on Westport Island.
The Kent's Hill School founded in 1824 as Maine Wesleyan Seminary is located in Readfield, ME. The "Mansion" where Franklin boarded was a three-story building at the school that housed classrooms, a chapel, a dormitory and a kitchen.

Picking the Pac
Posted by Bob Condotta
Three Pac-10 teams remaining in the NCAA Tournament, and if history is any guide, at least one won't make it past the next round.
Only once has the Pac-10 advanced three teams to the Elite Eight (2000-01, Arizona, Stanford and USC) and never has the conference had every team win in the Sweet 16 round when more than one has made it that far.
The Pac-10, however, has had multiple teams in the Elite Eight four times since 1997 (97, 98, 2001 and 2007), more proof of the Western basketball resurgence of the last decade.
Not that any of that matters this weekend, when each conference team remaining will face its own separate challenges.
Here's my quick look at each game with some special emphasis on the Cougar-North Carolina contest:
WSU-NORTH CAROLINA --- If ever there has been a clash in styles in recent the NCAA Tournament, this is it. According to Ken Pomeroy, North Carolina had 75.6 possessions per 40 minutes this season, ranking No. 4 in the country, while WSU had 59.6, ranking No. 336.
The team that can best impose its style on the other team tonight will have the best chance.
And pace, more than anything, is the real difference in this game and not ability to play defense. As regular readers of this space now, I'm not a fan of those who look strictly at points allowed as a measure of good defense, as too many talking heads unfortunately tend to do.
In fact, many Cougar fans were actually beginning to grumble a little bit about the team's defense during Pac-10 play, wondering if the loss of shot-blocking big man Ivory Clark hadn't taken a bigger toll than imagined.
Easy to forget now, but the Cougars were seventh in the Pac-10 in field goal percentage defense (a more accurate way to gauge defensive prowess) in conference games this season at 45.5 percent behind Washington and, believe it or not, Oregon, two teams few laud nationally for their defense.
The Cougars weren't any better in the Pac-10 tournament, allowing Oregon to hit 53.2 percent and Stanford 44.4, each above their season averages.
Suddenly in the NCAA Tournament, however, the Cougars have been stellar, allowing Winthrop to make just 30.8 percent and Notre Dame a stunning 24.5. The question, of course, is whether the Cougars suddenly got better, or simply played two teams that were caught unaware by their style and against whom they matched up really well.
It's probably a little bit of both --- surely, the Cougar seniors are playing at the top of their game right now --- though how great the percentage leans one way or the other could tell a lot about how much success WSU can have tonight.
Winthrop simply looked like a team over its head while Notre Dame seemed pretty unathletic and one-dimensional, with few other options once the Cougars shut down its main threats. WSU was also allowed to play pretty physically inside on Notre Dame. calls that could go the other way tonight with the game in Charlotte (ask Husky fans how NCAA games played on the East Coast against East Coast games tend to be officiated).
North Carolina is maybe the most talented team the Cougars have played all season (UCLA might argue that point) with more offensive options. And WSU tended to struggle this season against talented, multi-dimensional teams, going 0-7 against UCLA, Stanford and Arizona, the three conference teams whose starting fives probably possess the most raw talent (USC might argue that point, as well, and the Cougars swept the Trojans this season, though USC was not really at full strength for either game).
Of course, Husky fans know well how much tourney momentum can even the playing field. The Huskies were an even bigger underdog than the Cougars are tonight in 1998 for their Sweet 16 game against UConn that went down to the last play.
Conversely, few teams looked better heading into the round of 16 than USC a year ago after the Trojans routed Arkansas and Texas in Spokane. The Trojans then made the cross-country trip to the Meadowlands to face North Carolina in the Sweet 16, took a 16-point lead early in the second half, then wilted as the Tar Heels rallied for a 74-64 win.
Not sure WSU can take a 16-point lead, but it would be no surprise to see the Tar Heels struggle early against the Cougars' pace. Ultimately, however, the Tar Heels will just have too much for the Cougars. Call it 69-58 North Carolina.
(For another look at this game from a Times writer, check out Bud Withers' capsule preview here).
WESTERN KENTUCKY VS. UCLA --- WKU has one shot at winning this game --- hitting three-pointers. The Hilltoppers made 20-44 in the first two rounds, and 39 percent for the season, 26th in the nation. And that happens to be something UCLA has given up at times this year as the Bruins ranked ninth in the Pac-10 in three-point field goal percentage defense in conference games only at 37 percent, ahead of only Oregon State. But it's hard to figure how Western Kentucky will stop the Bruins on the other end despite ranking 13th in the nation this year in defensive turnover margin. And obviously falling behind early won't rattle the Bruins, who are showing an uncanny ability to pull games out. I don't think they'll need any miracles tonight. UCLA 71, WKU 52.
STANFORD VS. TEXAS --- These two teams play Friday night in another clash of styles --- Stanford has one of the best inside games in the country, Texas flourishes on the perimeter. Historically those are the kind of matchups that usually favor the team with the better big men. But this game is in Houston, and the college game is more guard-centered than ever, and the Cardinal seemed a little more mortal than expected against Marquette. If guard Anthony Goods snaps out of his tournament shooting slump (5-17 in the first two rounds) the Cardinal could romp. But I've just got a feeling that the Longhorns are going to prevail. TEXAS 73, STANFORD 69.

Quin Synder...
When I saw the post of Cal's firing of Bran it made me think " here we go again a team better than UW is firing their coach"
Then I saw something about Missouri's new coach and it made me think I wonder what happened to Quin Synder???
Then to my surprise I saw Quin on ESPN.
He was coaching at the Austin Toros.
So I just had to post this...
"Quin Synder as coach of Washington Basketball"
Romar is a nice guy but he does not has Quin's fire...

WSU vs North Carolina. WSU plays solid throughout and leads consistently early on. It comes down to the end as WSU finally gets into some foul trouble late, blows the lead and Hansbrough pulls a Rip Hamilton and buries the Cougars at the buzzer. 82-80 UNC.
UCLA blows out WKU early, takes out starters to make the score more respectable. 81-67 UCLA
Stanford plays a solid game but can't keep up with Texas's guards. 80-71 Texas.
Louisville 85, Tennessee 70
Xavier 84, W. Virginia 82

I'm glad someone else finally recognized that close games are mostly decided by the officiating.

When you refer to officiating on the east coast vs. east coast teams, are you referring to Nate Robinson being called for this thrid foul 11 minutes into the Louisville game while makiing a baseline cut (on offense), Justin Dentmon fouling out after Marcus Williams tripped over himself, or Brandon Roy picking up his fourth foul on a bogus un-necessary double technical with 6 minutes left (which Greg Abel of Yahoo! sports wrote was the "most questionable call" of the entire regional). Just wondering...

Outside of Harongody, those players you just mentioned went for 19.5 pts and 10.6 boards per game against Baynes. Do you really consider that shut down?

first off couger - it's spelled cougAr (you must be a wazzu grad because you can't even spell cougar)
2nd: didn't Stanford & UCLA sweep y'all this year? & beating a team like the huskies (whom you claim sucks so hard) by a combined 5 points is hardly called domination. B-Lo, R-Lo & Love owned y'all.
you can't even talk s#!t right moron....
you'll know what domination is around 6:30 p.m. tonight -- y'all had a great year.

uh, couger (the lesser known spelling of cougar, apparently)...
You may be a bit mistaken about the cougs winning all of those games. I seem to remember wazoo having a very successful time losing to Stanford three times this season (not to mention the troubles with Love and UCLA).
Also, perhaps you should check your facts about the "Huskies" (yes, that is how it is spelled) not winning this decade considering they have beat the cougs 9 times since the beginning of 2000 and has more winning seasons than the cougs this decade...

Hey "just wondering", you forgot about the goal tend on I believe Jon Brockman's shot in overtime (you know, the one where the defender put his hand up through the basket). But yes those are just some of the calls he is likely referring to. Also the Syracuse game this year is something to consider as well. Solution? Get better and get respect, only big name basketball programs get the calls just like freshman never get calls that seniors always will.

It was 23 years and more than 700 miles ago that Lorraine Oakes was bitten by the volunteering bug. Then a 40-something in Titusville, Florida, Lorraine had her first opportunity to volunteer in a nursing center, and she never looked back, despite a re-location to North Carolina. Now, more than two decades since she first set foot in the facility, her tireless devotion to the residents at Kindred Transitional Care and Rehabilitation – Elizabeth City earned her the respect of colleagues who nominated her for the 2013 American Health Care Association (AHCA) Volunteer of Year distinction, which she won.
Lorraine, who is at the nursing center each day for about five or six hours, enjoys the opportunity to provide an encouraging voice, help a resident do his crossword puzzles or just be in the right place at the right time when people need her.
Michael Montgomery, branch manager for Victorian Home Care, an affiliate of Kindred at Home, recently sat down with radio station News Talk KION of the Salinas/Santa Cruz/Monterey, California for their "Saturday Experts" talk program to share information about personal home care assistance. Michael explained how home care can benefit the geriatric population and patients of all ages who are recovering from surgery, illness or an accident. Michael also provided background about the home care process and how home care professionals coordinate care with discharging hospitals and perform home assessments to look for common items in the house that can pose safety risks that people often overlook. Click play on the video below to hear the interview:
This is the last week of National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month and National Caregiver Month. In recognition, this week's edition of Healthcare Headlines will be devoted to these and related topics.
A new study has shown that patients with dementia who were discharged from an acute care hospital to a nursing facility were less likely to be readmitted to the hospital within 30 days than those with dementia who were discharged home or to the home of a family member. Read the story
Tampa Bay Tribune columnist has written a first-person piece about traveling with a loved one who has been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer's. Read the story
A new survey shows that nearly a quarter of Americans over the age of 75 have not communicated their end-of-life wishes, although the number of people who have put their end-of-life wishes into writing has increased. Read the story
As the nation's leading provider of post-acute care services, Kindred is well-positioned to make important contributions to cutting-edge initiatives aimed at improving delivery of post-acute care across the continuum, from the long-term acute care hospital through the skilled nursing facility, rehabilitation hospital, home health and hospice.
In two Indiana skilled nursing facilities, Kindred is participating in a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services-sponsored initiative called OPTIMISTIC – Optimizing Patient Transfers, Impacting Medical Quality and Improving Symptoms: Transforming Institutional Care. The project aims to improve health care, reduce avoidable hospitalizations and increase access to palliative care.
"OPTIMISTIC benefits our long-term residents," said Pamela Zanes, RN, BSN, Ed.M., senior director of care transitions for Kindred Healthcare.
Congress has passed an act that will allow people to keep the insurance plans they thought would be canceled for not meeting new requirements under the Affordable Care Act. The new act addresses the reality that many people were being forced to give up their old plans in exchange for more expensive alternatives. Read the story
A report from the AARP has found that hospital observation stays increased substantially over a study period that lasted from 2001 through 2009 (before the implementation of readmissions penalties). Read the story
Some are hopeful that legislation will provide relief: A bill that has been proposed in both the House and Senate would allow observation stays to count toward Medicare's three-midnight requirement for the skilled nursing benefit. AARP has endorsed the legislation.
The year was 1969. Richard Nixon was president. Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. Sesame Street debuted on television. And a young nurse named Naomi "Ginger" Stewart started work at Lakeside Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, a hospital that would eventually become Kindred Hospital Kansas City.
"I have fulfilled many lifelong dreams that would've appeared to be those of a dreamer," Ginger said in a letter announcing her retirement after 44 years of service. "The most important one was my father and mother's dream for me to become a 'real nurse,' though teaching was always in my heart."
Ginger credits Kindred with allowing her to pursue that dream of teaching through a position as an adjunct nursing professor at Johnson County Community College.
Her own words sum up her experience best:
A group of leading technology and aging services companies recently convened in Silicon Valley to explore the future of care. The fourth AgeTech Conference and Exposition was held in San Jose, California, with partners, sponsors and presenters that included Intel, Google, Yahoo, and other technology companies, AARP, assisted living companies, and large healthcare organizations. Many of the technologies that were presented focused on aging-in-place or health/cognition.
Hospitals that rely on a government subsidy for uncompensated or under-compensated care now face a cut to that subsidy that may make it necessary to cut back on certain services, like cancer care. The subsidy cut is hardest hitting to hospitals in states that opted out of a Medicaid expansion. Read the story
The subsidy, which for years has helped defray the cost of uncompensated and undercompensated care, was cut substantially on the assumption that the hospitals would replace much of the lost income with payments for patients newly covered by Medicaid or private insurance. But now the hospitals in states like Georgia will get neither the new Medicaid patients nor most of the old subsidies, which many say are crucial to the mission of care for the poor.
Participants at Kindred's Fifth Annual Clinical Impact Symposium – from senior leadership to the clinicians on the front lines of patient care – say you should not only remember it, but you should use it often!
A big takeaway from the three days of discussions: Communication. Is. Key.
And it doesn't require fancy devices to communicate effectively; it can be as easy as picking up the phone. Call the next care setting. Or the previous care setting. Talk about the patient. Gather important information. And let it inform great care across the continuum.
Pick up the phone!
In the last presentation of the 2013 Kindred Clinical Impact Symposium, Ronald Leopold, MD, MBA, MPH, Senior Vice President, National Practice Leader, Health and Productivity for Wells Fargo Insurance Services, talked about the business value of a healthy workforce.
People are remaining in the workforce longer than ever before, and perhaps longer than they had planned, Leopold said.
"Your ability to earn a living is your biggest financial asset," he said.
And companies, in turn, are well-served to encourage a healthy workforce.
"It's in [companies'] best interest to get their workforces healthier and more importantly, it's in your own best interest," Leopold said.
How can individuals do that? First, they can pick realistic goals and stick with them. Have a healthy lifestyle – move around, eat well, consider behavior changes – what are you doing that you shouldn't be doing and vice versa?

This year, Bob Barker's birthday presents include a return to his longtime television home.
The iconic game show host turns 90 on Thursday, Dec. 12, the day he'll be seen again on the CBS game show "The Price Is Right." Barker's reappearance will be a highlight of a full week of celebrating him on the program, with current host Drew Carey also presenting a daily segment on a concern long advocated by animal rights activist Barker: pet adoption.
"It went very well," the ever-genial Barker tells Zap2it of his birthday show, which was taped last month. "It was heartwarming to even be there. The people were so nice, from [executive producer] Mike Richards right on down … and certainly including Drew. He has always, always been very nice.
"There are people there with whom I had worked, and it was great to be reunited with them," notes Barker, who hosted "The Price Is Right" from 1972 to 2007. "Others who had left the show, but were still at CBS, came down to see me. They have a new head of daytime, Angelica McDaniel, and she came down to see me. I could go on and on; they couldn't have made it a nicer day for me."
Those hoping to "come on down" and play various pricing games made the occasion memorable for Barker, too. "The audience was very receptive. I got a standing ovation, and I told them it warmed the cockles of my heart. I miss that applause."
Barker adds with a chuckle that he's solved that last problem: "When I walk into the room now, my housekeeper applauds. And if I go outside and he's there, the gardener applauds."
Despite his good humor, also famous from his lengthy run presiding over "Truth or Consequences," Barker — whose 19 Daytime Emmy Awards include one for lifetime achievement — admits returning to "The Price Is Right" was quite emotional for him.
"I had a lump in my throat early on, and tears in my eyes. As I told them, as I grow older, I cry much easier. On the other hand, as I grow older, I have more to cry about."

There isn't really any place to put this, so I stuck it here in the GenDiscuss Section. I recently purchased the Godfather Epic on DVD and was watching the films. I haven't seen the third one since it came out twelve years ago, so I popped it in and there in the beginning of the film was an establishing shot of New York skyline complete with Twin Towers. It was a beautiful sight. I just paused the player and looked at it for a moment. It got me thinking about the future. Every film maker from now on will not be able to have those majestic towers in his or her NYC establishing shot and the last filmmakers who did...like Zoolander and Serendipity...unwisely decided to remove them from their movies. I think that's a shame. No one else will ever get that choice, but they did and decided to remove them.
Anyway, the towers at the beginning of GF3 caught me off guard and I was happy to see them again. That is all.

My policy on reviews, 2011
Reviews of Huntress have started to trickle in, and since it's been a while since I last posted my thoughts on reviews, I thought it was time for an update. This is directed primarily to book bloggers and regular readers.
I very much appreciate bloggers and readers taking the time to post their thoughts about my books on their blogs, Amazon, Goodreads, or anywhere else the internet might allow you to post reviews. I love the fact that people are reading my books and feel strongly enough about them to say something in public. Thank you for participating in the conversation about books, and thank you for talking about mine.
As an author, though, I don't self-Google or purposefully seek out reviews of my work. There are several reasons for this.
- In order to write creatively, I have to listen to my own voice. Hearing the voices of lots of other people discussing my work in reviews tends to drown out my own voice. So, I try to minimize those other voices.
- Even though it's very gratifying and flattering to read positive reviews, it's a guarantee that some folks won't like what I've written. This is fine and unavoidable, but criticism tends to stick in my head a lot longer than praise. (I think this is pretty normal!) That criticism can be damaging to maintaining the mental creative space I need to write.
- By the time my books are available to be read and reviewed, I've long since finished working on them. Reading other people's opinions on what worked or didn't work is just frustrating because there's nothing more I can change about the book.
- I firmly believe that reviews are for readers, not authors. I'm not the audience for the reviews, so I don't think it's necessary for me to read them.
Therefore, if you've written a review of one of my books, I'm unlikely to see it. I've seen some bloggers state online that they like it when authors drop by to thank them for a review, but I'll tell you honestly: Since I don't self-Google or seek out my reviews, I'm unlikely to see your review. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate it, as I said above; it just means I haven't seen it.
If you want me to see your review, of course you're welcome to send it to me. You can tweet me, leave me a comment on Facebook, or email me (mlo at malindalo dot com). Just please remember the golden rule: Before you send me your review, consider whether or not you'd want to read it if you were the author.
Like everything in life, of course, there are exceptions. I do read trade reviews of my books, which are usually sent to me by my editor. If I'm lucky enough to get mainstream media coverage, I'll read that. This is partly because I think I do need to know what the gatekeepers are saying about my work, but also because these sources are much more widely distributed than most book blogs (again: there are exceptions!), and I want to make sure there are no factual errors in the coverage.
Last but not least, because I'm an author, I very rarely review other authors' books, unless the author is (1) dead; or (2) extremely famous. I just don't think it's appropriate for me to critically review my colleagues right now. This might change in the future (the internet keeps forcing us to change our standards about this kind of thing), but right now I'm refraining from criticism of my peers — and yes, I think that proper reviewing involves criticism. Not in a mean way, but in a thoughtful and engaged way.
I do, however, recommend books I've truly enjoyed, and I'll definitely keep doing this in the future.
Questions? Feel free to email me (mlo at malindalo dot com).

Recruits get dose of confidence
MARINE CORPS RECRUIT DEPOT SAN DIEGO (January 17, 2013) – Some obstacles were tall, and some were short. Some required finesse and agility, while others required brute strength. However, one thing all the obstacles in the Confidence Course had in common was that they were all challenging.
Recruits of Company C, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, pushed through the Confidence Course aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego Jan. 7.
The idea is that by recruits conquering obstacles they didn't know they could climb it will give them a base of confidence to carry with them into the Fleet Marine Force.
The course includes numerous obstacles that vary in difficulty and finesse. Some of the obstacles include climbing over an approximately 10-foot- cargo net wall, jumping over logs at various heights and monkey bars.
The entire exercise takes approximately two hours to complete and recruits run through it a second time towards the end of Recruit Training.
Recruits that have a fear of heights and finish an obstacle that requires you to get up in great heights will instill confidence, explained Sgt Eddie L. Grantt, drill instructor, Plt. 1054, Co. C., 1st Recruit Training Battalion.
"Some recruits come into Recruit Training with low self-esteem, and I believe this is where we stop that," said Grantt. "This is where their foundation starts, they gain confidence from accomplishment. It's important for them to get it here because it doesn't matter whether you're leading a fire team or climbing an obstacle, you need confidence.
Recruits were broken down into small groups each lead by at least one drill instructor. Failure was not an option; anytime a recruit hesitated or struggled, a drill instructor was there to motivate their recruit.
During the course, one recruit who appeared fatigued said he believed there was a lesson to be learned from pushing through pain.
"If you're sick in a combat situation you can't take time off, you have to push through it. I think that's why drill instructors push us even though were not feeling good," said Recruit David B. Garwood, Plt. 1054, Co. C., 1st Recruit Training Battalion.
Looking over his shoulder to an exercise known as the 'Stairway to Heaven', Recruit Robert C. Calvert, Plt. 1054, Co. C, 1st Recruit Training Battalion. said, "the one that's tall is intimidating."
"I'm excited to do something new and at the same time it's kind of scary. I think I'll get some self-confidence from knowing I can do this," said Calvert.
While going through the various exercises, it wasn't uncommon to hear one recruit encourage a struggling recruit. Any number of qualities from teamwork to confidence could have been taken away from the experience and it appeared everyone took a little pride in the accomplishment.

This is for FOUR victorian brooches ( one is a pendant as well) with some unusual scenes. The skating theme is the most unusual and probably more collectible. It has 24kt gold leaf around the scene and is an off rectangular shape. IT measures 2 wide.The George Washington era is the most popular with the other three which are also large pieces. The frame on the one with the gent speaking or flirting with the peasant girl is the oldest. These are all in very good condition and each has good weight too.

Shiamak Davar's sentences are incomplete without affectionate words like 'dear' and 'darling'. And this is perhaps one of the reasons why you feel a certain close connect with the man who places you in a comfort zone, even over the phone, no matter who you are. So while we start the confab with a clichéd question by asking about the number of Bollywood projects on his we-thought-full plate, Davar reacts with a hearty laugh and then gradually settles for a much serious tone with a bald "None."
