Wahaca and Thomisna Miers has brought Mexican food to London in a way that no other restaurant has and throughout 2015 they are inviting the crème de la crème of the Mexican cooking scene to the original Covent Garden for a series of supper clubs to showcase the huge diversity of flavours in Mexico – it's not all tacos and burritos.
Currently they are hosting an exclusive Oaxacan regional menu created by Alejandro Ruiz, the owner and head chef of the beautiful Casa Oaxaca restaurant in his home region, and here is a fact for you Wahaca is the phonetic spelling of Oaxaca – or maybe it is just me who didn't know that.
Running for eight weeks the menu consists of four main dishes and one (epic) pudding. Staying with current food trend of insects they offer a chorizo and chapulines memela, chapulines being crushed grasshoppers, on a base of blue corn and topped with crumbled fresh cheese and was delicious, had the grasshoppers not been crushed I might have been more dubious but being crushed we happily ate them.
Seared venison was served with blackened cauliflower, tostadas and a sweet fruity sauce from the Isthmus region of Oaxaca and roast squash came with a white sesame Oaxacan emulsion with crisp corn and amaranth.
The menu features short ribs with dark mole oaxaqueños and pickled cucumber, however it appears as if this was the most popular dish as we had to have a variation of it whilst they cooked so more up so we had pulled beef, it was beautifully tender, with a real kick to it, make sure you order it.
The highlight however had to be the chocolate brownie with mezcal caramel, it was rich, dense and the burnt salted caramel worked perfectly with the clotted cream – leave space for it as you'll regret not ordering it. That's not a suggestion, you really must.
If you're really hungry then you can order extra dishes from the usual menu alongside but actually between two then the four Oaxacan dishes it's certainly enough, especially if you start with some guacamole – how else is there to really start anyway?
The Oaxacan menu runs for 8 weeks at Wahaca Covent Garden only.

Hunting and Fishing Social Network App Getting an Update for Iphone
Iphone App Issues Noticed by one of our Members
We at Shotem and Caughtem have never been known for our timing. As a matter of fact if you want to go skunked for awhile both fishing and hunting just launch a social network and app based on it and we can show you that your luck will change for the worst. So when we decided to launch the ShotemCaughtem app last Oct. it was no surprise that Apple Would launch a new phone with a new operating system that would not allow certain functions to work appropriately on the new Iphones. Luckily for us Android users we had a member point out the flaws a couple of weeks ago. Lucky for those of you that might have been frustrated by this we are young, you have our apologies and we have our app developers making the necessary updates and will alert you as soon as the new version is up and ready for download.
Other Member Concerns and Questions About Competing Hunting and Fishing Blogs
We want to Change Social Media Websites and Apps
We think there are some great ways to change the way a social media company works. We want to reward our members and supporters for helping us grow our network. Not us them to line just our own pockets. Think of it this way when has Facebook or Twitter ever cut you a check or given you free stuff for posting and being a part of their site? We hope you help us grow and promise that this will benefit us both in the future when we create the number one place to go if you hunt and fish.
Happy St. Patricks Day from Shotem and Caughtem
Most of all we hope you get out and show your green pride Shotem and Caughtem Style!
Hunting Controversy Continues to Warrant a Need for a Hunting and Angling Social Network
Hunting and Fishing News
We at Shotem and Caughtem are constantly scouring the internet looking for news about the industry so we can pass it on to our members and followers. Without your support we will not grow and hopefully one day be known as the place to go to see what is happening around the world when it comes to hunting and fishing. A great place to share photos, videos and experiences from the great outdoors. However, once again the news seems to be targeting our passions. Matthew McConaughey recently had to take a step back from a ranch owned by him and his brother due to hunting controversy. Kid Rock and Ted Nugent made it into the news with a hunting picture posted by the rock stars.
A Safe Place to post Hunting/Angling Photos and Videos
The old saying "If you don't like what is on change the channel!" The digital age has created some interesting ways to bully and sometimes no way to get away from something you don't want to see. Twitter has introduced a new way to spread viral discussions by posting things that have high retweet or favorites to other peoples twitter streams that have no affiliation to the original person who posted the information. As a matter of fact this type of practice is what many think has allowed ISIS to spread their message and grow their support.
More Targeted Social Networks
We feel that as the world wide web evolves more niche social networks will become the norm. Those of us that have a passion for hunting and fishing do not want to see information about the next best weight loss pill. We want to see the latest gear, best hunting and fishing tactics and converse with those that have the same outdoor adventures. That is why we continue to ask for your help in growing our network. We think we have provided our members with a great platform to share their adventures and knowledge to other like minded people. However, we need more. More of your friends, family and other cool kids to get on board and share. We understand that facebook, instagram and twitter have the numbers but they did not start out that way. As the smaller networks like ours begin to grow the site will begin to snowball.
We hope you come share as much as you can so that we can start to attract more and more and become the social network you choose because the people here just know two things and know it well. Hunting and Fishing!
It is Hunting and Fishing Season
We at Shotem and Caughtem love this time of year. Though the climate has been working against us recently with massive temperature swings our favorite time of year is here. The turkey's are beginning to become a prime target as well as the pre spawn for fishing. As such we felt it was once again a good time to share what we need from you are members and what we are doing to help make Shotem and Caughtem better.
First let us talk about what we have in store for you, this our second year, as a website. The most exciting thing for us is that we took your comments to heart and have emptied out our penny jars and began work on an app for both the android and iphone. We hope to release as soon as we can but it is out of our hands right now. This will allow our members to more easily access all Shotem and Caughtem has to offer direct from all devices with ease. Second, we are excited that we have hooked up with some great manufacturers to help bring you our opinions on some great new products from suppliers such as Weston Products, Anglers Choice, Berkley fishing, Stack-On Products and Bering Optics. We are actively seaking out more and more suppliers to review and any suggestions of what we can do to expand your experience with the website are always reviewed in any comments you our members send or spend the time to write in our comment section or emails.
Most of what we need from you our members is your activity. The more active you are on he website the easier it is for us and you to attract more people and more interaction. As you set up your own groups, tag other members in your picture posts and share your experiences to the discussion boards and ask questions the website will grow and bring more and more people to the fold. As the website accrues more vital information to our passion the more relevant you and we will become in this industry. We are still trying to launch the Shotem and Caughtem of the month but have been lacking in those who want to be apart of excitement. You will also notice the points section above your profile. We will use these stats to help us identify those who want this site to grow and we will reward your efforts with awesome prizes. The more you help us grow at Shotem and Caughtem the faster we can focus all our efforts on the site itself and begin to pull away from other social networks, which we are using to draw members.
Have a blog you want to bounce off of Shotem and Caughtem? That is why we are here. To help share all we experience in the great outdoors. We all can not sit behind a computer when the outdoors is constantly drawing us away. We try to do as much as we can but we are nothing unless we are able to share this burden with you are members.
Let us know how we can help you in the comment section below. Continue to do all you have already done for this site in the first year and help us make our second year even bigger. Thank you from all of us at Shotem and Caughtem for all your help and efforts.
Our New Years Resolution is You
We at Shotem and Caughtem have reflected a lot on the first year of our website. It has been a blessing to have started what we feel is a unique website dedicated to hunting and fishing. It has all the makings to be a hunter or fisherman/woman's first place to share and connect with others. A place where people like Melissa Bachman, Phil Robertson and you our members can feel comfortable sharing their adventures and opinions on the lifestyle to which we dedicate so much time, efforts and money. A place safe from those who might not agree with the way we choose to live our lives.
That is why our New Years resolution is you. We promise to dedicate this year to further creating a home for all who enjoy this lifestyle to continue to share their experiences. Good or bad. Share with the rest of the world to try and educate and inform on why we do what we do and what we use to do it. Even share those experiences when things don't go as planned.
However, inorder to make this the website that you choose to make your home we need your help. A social network is nothing without you our members. We need to here from you as to what you need from a great hunting and fishing social network. So we ask you to help us to continue to make a place you want to be a part.
We have some great things in store this year and hope you help us to continue our dream of creating the first and foremost hunting and fishing community. So become a member and help us shape this brave new world on the web. Happy New Years. Make it a safe and joyous year outdoors!
Happy Holidays From Shotem and Caughtem Staff
We at Shotem and Caughtem felt this was the perfect time to emerge from the dark and wish all of our members and followers a safe and merry holidays. There is no better time for us hunting and fishing enthusiasts to reflect on the year and the things to come.
First we would like to thank all of you for participating in the first social network dedicated to hunting and fishing. It has been an amazing first year. We have thripled our members to the site, facebbok and twitter. We have met some amazing people and companies and hope that 2014 will be more of the same.
Secondly, like most outdoor lovers the things we experience and witness in the great outdoors offers us a unique view of the world around us. Like Phil Robertson our respect for the things that have been created and the experiences in the field create a passion for our beliefs and a realization that life is precious and should be celebrated. Our rights as Americans gives us opportunities that many only read about and never have the chance to experience.
Thirdly, we are excited about all the things next year has in store. We will once again be visiting the Shot Show in Las Vegas. We have a wonderful review that will be posted soon for our friends at Weston Products and Anglers Choice and finally we have met some other passionate outdoorsman/woman who will help give another perspective of their experiences in the great outdoors.
It is an exciting time for us here at Shotem and Caughtem and we hope you join us in sharing your photos, comments and experiences. We hope to continue to make www.shotemandcaughtem.com the best hunting and fishing social network. We once again hope you have a safe and fun holiday vacation and enjoy some time in the great outdoors.
Find Other People Who Love Hunting and Fishing
We at Shotem and Caughtem wanted to celebrate the successes of the website so far and inform others of all the benefits it has to offer those who love the great outdoors. Shotem and Caughtem is so much more than just a bragging wall for all your adventures, gear and mishaps. Once a member of this great social network you have the ability to house all your hunting and fishing photos, create groups with just your friends, create discussions to get others feedback all while in an open community to allow you to connect with anyone in the entire community.
Just think of the possibilities! Want to go hunting in South Africa? We have a member that has grown up there her whole life and loves to hunt and fish. She has been a great resource to ask questions on the subject of sustainable hunting in a region where poaching is a norm. She is also a woman who provides a different perspective to the hunting world just like another member of ours Candace. Her work on informing more woman about the exciting world has been impressive. She hopes to become a great advocate for woman and hunting and has also been a great resource for our community on Shotem and Caughtem.
In just eight months we can not be more pleased with how things have progressed. We are adding more and more new people everyday. We feel blessed that many of our members have become such great friends as well as assets. We hope you bring more people into the scope so that we may increase the great community we are working so hard to create.

This was the third in a series of readings at the Arts Center of the Capital Region in Troy (NY) going back to May. Tonight's theme was "Family" & was hosted by Marion Roach Smith.
Dona Brent read a series of vignettes that sounded like stand-up comedy bits, complete with a Bronx accent. Each little piece, titled with the apartment number, was about the tenants of that apartment in a building on White Plains Rd. in the Bronx where the author grew up.
Desiree M. Roberts' piece, about the onset of her blindness & it's impact on her siblings, was read by Marion Roach Smith. In it, the family goes for genetic testing to see if any of the other members carries the gene that caused the author's blindness, & their reaction when none do.
Tina Lincer was another author whose piece sounded like a comedy routine. "Cheap Thrills" was about her mother's penchant for bargains & coupon clipping, & how those skills have returned to the author in the midst of the recession.
Rosemary Christle-Renaud's account of caring for her mother with dementia was filled with the irony of her taking on the day-to-day duties while her mother (& the rest of the family) battled over declaring the mother "incompetent".
Elisabeth Henry's piece was the only one told in the third person, skillfully blending the account of a still-birth of a child with a story about raising chickens.
Everyone likes stories about other people's lives, but for my taste I like to see the hand of the artist in work presented to the public, not just for therapy. Someone once said that all writing is autobiography, which we recognize in all the great novels of the past. Somehow today we value the "authenticity" of memoir over the craft of a good story. Personally I think it's just marketing & pandering to the same impulse towards voyeurism that sells gossip magazines, & makes Oprah, & Jerry Springer & "Entertainment Tonight" so popluar. I prefer the art of On the Road to the "memories" of Angela's Ashes.

BEIJING — A bus tumbled into a mountain gorge in China Friday, killing 17 people, police and a state news agency reported.
Meanwhile, twenty people were killed and 11 were injured when a bus broke through a highway barrier and crashed head on with the trucks on the Hukun expressway, said a man from the eastern Jiangxi province Traffic Police Department. He would not give his name as is common in China.
The official Xinhua News Agency said the accident occurred in Fengcheng city, about 34 miles south of the provincial capital of Nanchang.
The injured were taken to a hospital, he said. No other details on the injured were available, he said.
Search and rescue
The first accident happened when a bus tumbled into a mountain gorge on the Punan highway in Nanping city in southeastern Fujian province, Xinhua said, killing 17 and injuring eight. Rescue work is under way, authorities said.
Road accidents are common in China because of overloaded and unsafe vehicles, poor road conditions and bad driving habits.
Last week 19 people were killed after a bus collided with a truck parked on the side of a busy highway in northeast China.

Freddie Prinze Jr. cast on '24': Or, vindication for making 'Head Over Heels'
As our own Michael Ausiello reported, Freddie Prinze Jr. is joining the cast of Fox's 24 as CTU's head of Field Ops. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he'll play David Cole, "a recently returned Marine who…wants to follow in Jack Bauer's (Kiefer Sutherland) footsteps."
I'm loving this for many reasons. (1) He will be able to help support the child that he and wife Sarah Michelle Gellar are having. (2) This means that someone who took a job with the WWE, because he was a fan, can be taken seriously again. And (3) It's possible that I'm not the only one who saw 2001's Head Over Heels, in which Prinze stars as an undercover agent posing as a fashion exec — and didn't totally hate it. Who else is happy for Freddie?

Civilian Guns: A Peculiar Feature in American Mentality
Imaginary Oppressors
According to some believable sources, nearly half of all civilian guns in the entire world are in America, which inspires to look at it as a world phenomenon, if not something at least odd in the mentality of the American folks. As a matter of fact, out of 195 countries on this planet only in three of them are civilians granted constitutional permit for firearms---the US, Mexico and Guatemala.
Something may instantly appear as a strong argument against the popular explanation for that peculiar massive armament---like somehow "protecting them from possible domestic or foreign oppression".
Really? For, we are not hearing from the global news anything about those gun-less westernized societies suffering from any form of oppression. Now, truth be told, "oppression" is actually a little tricky word, because it's not any secret in most of the so called "free world" that democracies are merely a "tranquilizing" front behind which those richest and their political puppets are doing whatever they please.
So, we could talk about different forms of "oppression", which would raise the question pertinent to our topic at hand---how do you figure that handguns would be a match to the force of a hypothetical oppressive, even fascistic rule, if it ever came to that need to defend yourselves from it?
Let's see, what would be the strategy? The scenario that comes to mind is a sort of pathetically humorous---a bunch of overweight dads and grandpas with their pistols against the "mightiest military in the world". Of course, again, we are talking about hypotheticals, and yet, they have their realistic note in people's explanations for why they buy guns.
O.K., so that would be only a part of the boogieman story, but there is more to it, as we are about to see.
Sparta the Greatest
What next comes to mind is the old adage---not necessarily universally correct: "Like father like son". Playing with symbolisms a little, why not see "father" as a Big Daddy the government, and "son" as Us-the-People.
Well, whether it has become obvious by now or not, but for quite a number of years, say rather some decades, America has been turning into a modern day Sparta---a warring nation. Sorry folks, I don't really mean you-the-people, but the Big Daddy.
However, before we start drawing some saintly glowing circles around your heads, we can't deny that the Big Daddy's image somehow affects the Kids. I think that's why the ancient Spartans kept their arms at home in a constant state of readiness---their kings inventing all kinds of "sinister forces conspiring to kick their proud asses".
Of course, paranoia was strong enough to overshadow the fact of the kings' ambitions to spread their influence and to fill their royal sacks with gold pieces. Can you make a little conversion in your head by seeing a black, sticky liquid instead of the yellow metallic crap?
O.K., you don't have to thank me for a little lecture in ancient history, which---after all so reminds of these present political times that we can only say it along with that smart dude:
"History only teaches us one thing---that it has never taught us anything".
Killing Season Never Stops
And it could all be quite funny if it was not so sad. For, there we go bombing the crap out of those Middle East folks, and then we call them "terrorists" when they dare to retaliate by killing a few of our own innocent people. So the paranoia perpetuates itself by its prophecy being fulfilled with each side "getting even" in a never ending lunacy.
What do we do about it---We-the-People? What else, we arm ourselves, and as the paranoia rises, handguns are not enough, assault rifles with scopes are so much more promising to protect us from that Eastern Evil. Hey, that super-paranoid militia even purchases those M-16s and tanks from the military surplus. NOW they are really safe, naïve bastards!
As for the rest of them armed folks, some of those trigger fingers get over-itchy, so every now and then we hear about a deranged individual slaughtering some school kids, movie-goers, church-goers, concert attenders, bar guests...well, does it really matter who gets to be the target when someone goes nuts?
And, as if that was not enough, those nasty accidents happen---kids find guns in the house, and they kill their siblings, parents, friends, themselves...again, does it really matter who gets to be the target when a pre-school kid has a gun in his hands? That for no other reason but---because the gun was right there and available as a toy.
Another Emotional Crutch to Lean On?
Now, there are those things that we want to buy which we don't use very often, but they'd better be around for "just in case". Like, it's O.K. to buy a plunger, for "just in case" that toilet can't accommodate a big family that's full of it. Or a flashlight, for "just in case" of an electrical storm hitting a nearby transformer.
But, "just in case" of what do we buy a gun? Who are we kidding anyway? Most of those who would potentially be after our ass are almost as a rule more experienced and proficient at attacking than the most of us are experienced and proficient at defending.
Indeed, as statistics are showing, even a skinny kid can seriously hurt you if desperate for his drug money. And that gun on top of your closet will help you just like your wife's old hat that's covering it from the eyes of kids.
I am not kidding either. I don't read about any instances where someone's gun came handy in all those cases of muggings, rapes, home invasions, forced entries, molestations, dog attacks...you name it.
Maybe we should address it as a mental defense mechanism at work---along with smoking, alcohol and drug abuse, over-eating...that kind of stuff, because the possession of a gun gives us that extra sense of security, or readiness to face the world.
Indeed, stresses of life can be overwhelming. Some experiments with rats that were placed in an overcrowded environment showed them displaying massive symptoms ranging from discomfort to arrogance. So, every little emotional crutch helps when we have to face again our boss, traffic, or our mother-in-law.
Then, on top of this already over-demanding life that's throwing us daily in the den with lions, we get inspired by our governments to go for that heightened sense of power---so we buy guns, rifles, what's next, just to feel safer, and somehow "powerful".
How About Some Deep Breathing Instead?
During my frequent walks at huge malls I entertain myself casually observing faces. O.K., if a young and good looking chick passes by, I may not stay at the face---you know, at this age of 73 I have to replenish my testosterone, and any inspiration helps.
But then, not every of those faces will raise my testosterone levels. Not because some folks are downright ugly, but because many of them have that facial expression of a tight "readiness for the worst".
Honest to goodness, they look like life has been doing nothing to them but continually hitting them from all sides, so that the very presence of the crowd feels like life-threatening.
That would include those macho-types with stern faces which you just can't imagine smiling---like the whole life is a battlefield and they have to win one battle at a time, still sweating from the last one.
I have just described---although in a caricature form those folks who need guns. Hey, dudes, we were not born with a tattooed guarantee on our little asses for our life-long safety. Just about anything or anyone can do it to you, from a microscopic bug to a tractor trailer humping your little Toyota on a freeway.
What kind of life is it anyway to constantly be in a state of readiness? Ever heard about something like letting go, about dropping your guards, about stress management?
You don't have to believe me---and somehow I don't think you are quite ready to---but a little habit of a deep and regular belly breathing can do more for your sense of security than that gun. And by the way, that Magnum doesn't make you "more of a man" than a water pistol would.
Recently, at our last visit to our Californian family someone displeased with my calm and relaxed reading a book in psychology said: "You know, I am not a psychologist, I am John Wayne with guns". Well, he is also a fellow whose chronic self-inflicted stresses were probably contributing to the cancer that he luckily beat.
To Each Their Own
Certain kinds of articles need something that would sound like a disclaimer, and to some eyes this could be one of them.
So, for my finishing words, let me assure you that I have absolutely nothing against the American folks. Actually, I find them quite nice and interesting people---just with a peculiar mentality when it comes to this obsession with guns.
Since I am not a normative dude, I don't really care what others choose for themselves, because nobody really needs my approval and blessing for their choices. Just like I don't need theirs.
At this point I would really like some of those gun owners to use the comment space below and educate me about their need to have a gun. Of course, I don't mean jewelry stores owners, or anyone who for any rational reason is a potential target of a violent attack.
I mean those ordinary folks running a normal clean life, not attending night clubs or living in bad neighborhoods---why they opt for having a gun. I need that explanation to maybe correct my present view, or maybe to reaffirm it.
Questions & Answers
© 2017 Vladimir Karas
MizBejabbers---The deeper you go "down the rabbit hole" of quantum---which is the "mother of Law of Attraction"---the more you start seeing yourself as a conscious or unconscious source of everything that ever "happened" to you.
Please note, I also said "unconscious". Our memory tends to be quite selective, and we may like to think of ourselves as "mostly positive" individuals.
What we often overlook is that 90+ percent of thoughts and attitudes going on below our awareness, while so many of them might be of a strong negativistic frequency attracting to us equivalents in outer experiencing.
Our ego's censor always filters out what doesn't belong to its precious structure, defending itself from the unconscious input, so we even can't be aware of that mess deep inside.
That's basically how some innocent kids attract their fate---by something in their nature, whether orchestrated there by their genetic inheritance with an over-accentuated flaw of ancestors, or by an unconscious sensitivity to something which stirs up powerful negative frequencies.
One way or another, however, we are the magnets of ALL our experiencing. Like some of those braininac in quantum field, biocentrism, or even in ancient nihilistic teachings are telling us---if we really knew how powerful our mind is, we would be VERY careful what thoughts, attitudes and emotions are prevalent in our intimate reality.
But then again, we could also dismiss all this and simply say that "crap happens", and it's good to have a gun when it does.
"I think that for every one of you who have experienced a need to use a gun you may find dozens of others who will spend their entire life never getting in a situation to need it."
Val, that's a very true statement. However, I did not go looking for the situations, they came to me in my own home. I've met lots of people who, so far, have had no use for a gun. But for those of us who did have a need, I'm thankful that I had one available, otherwise I might not be sitting here chatting with you. What I do find to be a pity is that there was a need in the first place. I would prefer our country to be a nation of love, not guns. BTW, you brought up the Law of Attraction, I was just following up on it.
Val as you have said, you don't live in the US and you don't need to know why we keep guns. Why then do you ask us to educate you?
Val, you may have a point about the Law of Attraction and guns, however, I don't see any point in getting into a metaphysical discussion of guns. My metaphysical beliefs are some of the reasons that I won't carry a gun in public . However, with the experiences that I've had in the past of criminals wanting to invade my home or actually invading it and taking what I worked hard to acquire (twice) I certainly am not going to get rid of my physical protections. Where were my guardian angels when my home was burglarized? I've always heard that God helps those who help themselves, and in my experience that is true.
But I also think that the rise in gun consciousness, if you can call it that, stems evil's last desperate hurrah. If the U.S. is the new Atlantis, we will just have to wait and see who wins this time, the Law of One or the Sons of Belial.
Your argument here is totally ignoring my comment.
BTW, it seems that the common thread between Canada and Australia is they just don't like America or Americans as a general rule.
I have visited Vancouver and Toronto and the visits were great, but I would never move to Canada for the same reason that I left NY in my 20s. That reason is the weather and Southern California has its share of Canadian Snowbirds.
Canada is more restrictive and protective of people coming into the country then we are in the US. Over $25 billion of drugs, contraband including illegal weapons and human trafficking happen every year.
My point is that the average NRA gun owner is a good citizen and not a criminal. The criminals are the ones that are the big gun shooters in the US, and the second are those committing suicide. The suicide issue is more of a problem than gun control.
The population of California is almost that of the entire country of Canada, and nine times that of Australia. Don't you think that the larger the population the more problems can arise?
As for your comment on the infidels of other countries not being attacked like 911. My answer is that the US gives aid and support all around the world, and that is the basis of hatred towards America. No good deed goes unpunished.
Also the US government policy is to stick their nose into other countries and manipulate them. The US has been in almost continuous state of war for the last one hundred years. That appears to be a part of the two major political parties who can't agree on what is good for America and Americans while agreeing on war.
I don't see where guns are a major issue and it takes the focus off the real issue, and that is the people. The weapons they choose are red herrings to the main problem is why are they willing to commit crimes?
Again, I still don't understand your point. When Canada reaches a population of over 300 million people, let us talk again.
Bradmaster---I appreciate your elaborate and interesting comment, and yet, don't mind my sticking to my view in this matter.
For one thing, guns were massively in use in the US already way before 911, when the paranoia was much less explainable.
Yes, "anything can happen", but that's the uncertainty which all the unarmed civilians of so many countries are sharing.
Crime is hitting them as well, and a strong argument to be made here is that their number of gun-related crimes in relation to their population is NOT higher than it is in the US and its population---"because they are unarmed and more vulnerable".
Read the comment by our friend John Hansen from Australia, and you'll see what a drastic difference in mentalities I am talking about. Here in Canada we have our share of crimes, and those in prison, you are not the only ones having to practice some street-wisdom. We have bad neighborhoods, shootings, stabbings, rapes...but that is not prompting us to buy guns. Not because we are "stupid-not-to", but because we can cope with uncertainties of survival without panicking over all possible case-scenarios.
American civilians are so well informed and so politically involving themselves in all imaginable ways---instead of giving some focus to the fact that their government keeps creating enemies. Like so many sober American politicians have said it---nobody hates America "just because you have MacDonalds, strip-joints, and your women can wear bikinis". 911 certainly didn't happen because of that---hey, it didn't happen in any other westernized country with "infidels". Those other countries got hit by terrorists ONLY AFTER they got blackmailed into joining Bush's War.
So, all-in-all, this thing with civilian guns could certainly see a remedy, not another excuse.
The United States has the biggest, and most expensive military in the world, yet on 911, terrorists outwitted the entire US defensive department. At least the attack on Pearl Harbor was done with a real military attacker using all of its trained forces to accomplish it.
No one in the US making military decisions thought a 911 attack was possible, at least they didn't prepare for it.
So applying that fact to paranoia about US Civilian guns, anything is possible. Meaning, at some point in time the 2nd Amendment goal would be important. How many of those 192 counties are people flocking to as they do daily crossing the US border.
Today, after 911, the scenario of the movie "Red Dawn" is not outside realistic possibility.
The US has over 330 million people and there are 2 million people in our jails and prisons. We have a heritage of guns in our country. In the Old West everyone could be armed, and as civilization came with its law and order, people for the most part left their defense to the police. But today is a lot like the Old West in that the police can not effectively protect the people.
You can use a knife for good things, but it can also be a deadly device. It is not the knife that kills, it is the person holding it. As we have seen lately, a vehicle can be used for transportation or it can be deadly. What is the common denominator here, it is the person, not the instrument that is the problem.
With guns as is true with vehicles, the government requires some basic skills be demonstrated, as well as the ability to understand the device. Guns are registered as are vehicles but the owners are investigated more thoroughly.
Knives don't have to registered?
Half of the gun deaths in the US are attributed to suicide. Proof that the deadly action is the person and not the gun. There are other methods of committing suicide too numerous to mention here. The point here is there are criminals out there that don't care about the law or its punishment.
And just as ineffective was Abolishing Liquor, the same would be true of abolishing personal gun ownership. The Mafia supplied illegal bootleg liquor to bypass the law, which in this case was a powerful amendment. That amendment had to eventually be repealed.
We already have contraband including illegal guns crossing our border everyday. Yet, the gun control people want open borders?
Taking away guns or overly restricting gun owners is not going to make America and Americans any safer because the criminals will always be there. They will not only get the guns, they will not hesitate to use them.
I guess I don't know your point.
It is a good thing that popular opinion cannot instantly change the law, primarily because ALL the laws would be changed like a maniquin changes clothes in a storefront window. Anyone that knows the American culture /society knows that.
I also know that there are more instant experts in the world today than ever before since social media was invented. How is that open immigration thing working in the UK.?
Val, I see that so far all of your replies are from men, so let me bring a woman's perspective to your question. First, my qualifications. My dad had me shooting at age 3, I was a crack shot at age 6, and he bought me my first gun at age 9. I hunted with him, and I still own that antique shotgun. As a young pregnant wife whose husband worked a night shift, I chased off a prowler one night by threatening him with that gun. We lived in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Lubbock, Texas. It was near Texas Tech and Methodist Hospital.
Second, as a single mom living in a not-so-nice, but all I could afford, neighborhood. I came home from work at midnight one night and heard what I thought was a prowler outside but I wasn't sure. I knew if it was a prowler, he would be long gone at the sound of the first police siren, so I got out my little chrome pistol and set it on the table while I ate supper. It was visible through the blinds. The next night my house was broken into while I was at work. Did the pistol prevent a break-in while I was home or was the noise a figment of my imagination? To this day I don't know. I have to answer that I feel safer having a shootin' iron around the house.
Now, we're not NRA supporters or deer hunters. My husband is former military and blackbelt Akido, and he keeps a Samurai sword by the bed, so one who succeeds in breaking in would be more in danger of the sword than a gun.
Now having said that, during my years as a legal editor for the State of Arkansas, I saw more foolish gun laws proposed than I ever imagined would be drafted. Some were put on the books. From that standpoint, I believe that all this gun hoopla is a backlash from the less confident, perhaps even paranoid crowd because the paranoids on the other side keep trying to propose laws to make guns unavailable or illegal. I just wish everybody would calm down, go home and shut their mouths and let everything be. Carrying a gun into a mall, a church, a college, or even the state capitol to me is both foolish and dangerous. These carry laws probably will end up costing more lives than saving them. I see this as just more polarized paranoia. So I think I can safely conclude that this argument is just another way of polarizing the U.S.A.
There is very little originality in Hubpage articles , cut and paste is the new original thought . I have been here seven years and when I began Hubs was a community of good writers and artists , even the occasional instructional author.......kind of downhill for the participants since then unless you are here to make money at home - it has grown pretty boring . Other start up sights have taken many , many better writers from here .
This topic is so unnerving to me. On one hand there are legitimate reasons to own guns, at least certain types of guns. If you live in the country and its how you get your food, for example.
In Addition, I understand that guns can be fun to play with. Go out with some friends and shoot at a target, blow off steam.
Where guns aren't effective is home protection and self defense and then all these crazy idiots going out and killing people.
Personally, I'm all for getting rid of assault rifles.
Vladimir, I believe your views are based on living in an intellectual world. You base it on your logic and ability to analyze facts you read and study. I will tell you, if you have a gun pointed at you by a drugged up man about to kill you and being shot at by drugged up idiots...I believe you would have an entirely different point of view. It's real world experience vs intellectual understanding. I grew up with guns in the house and lived my life with guns and to me they're no big deal. A person came to visit once and left when I started to clean my pistol because I had been to the range that day. He left because he saw an unloaded gun. That's just ignorance.
I really enjoyed the satirical sense of your article. To answer your question,"is it paranoia or protection?" Simply put, in my view it is both. Guns are big business in this country. Like any business, there has to be a need for the product. The need for guns is multi-faceted depending on the person's need. The 2nd amendment has become the vehicle that services that need, along with the NRA, gun manufactures, and all the associated ancillary products, like bump stocks and high capacity magazines. Just like any commercial, the need is based on creating a continuum of fear that goes from paranoia to gun collectors not getting the gun they want to have. Once that need is filled, they are happy.
There is a triangle of influence that feeds the fear. It is based on the NRA, gun manufactures, and congress. The gun manufactures fund, the NRA, which in turn funds congress, for re-election, and congress in turn does not pass any legislation for any type of gun legislation. There are also lobbyist that add even more influence.
As far as mass shootings go, there is a lack of empathy in this country by those who rationalize the killings of innocent people by stating, "Our thoughts and prayers are with you, but whatever you do, don't take away my guns." And the money continues to flow, and the mentally ill, and terrorist continue to kill innocent people. And the gun people continue to say, "there are more people killed by other means than guns, and our thoughts and prayers our with you."
Hub Scores are as you know , based on what articles sell for Hubpages . How to make better brownies , how to fix a computer , how to raise a better child , How about letting your learning curve here at Hubs afford you the realization that a Hub score is based on monetary contribution . Not forum participation . That's all I'm here for these days. Better go back to writing info hubs and stay away from the forums or you'll see your score drop . I was once in the high ninties for your childish information .
Lets talk about life experiences. It would have been nice to always live in neighborhood where there is no crime and people have good jobs and nice houses. Not all of us have had such experiences. Immigrants to this country often have to live in bad neighborhoods. Guns and shootings are often a way of life. I am alive today because good men with guns stopped a bad men with a gun who were going to shoot me. Once, a drugged up individual came into a friends house and demanded money. There was a showdown and once the guy with the gun realized he was outgunned...he left. Other incidents include going to a store and hearing bullets whizz past my head and through a street sign as I was walking and other experiences with guns have formed my opinion. These armed people got their guns on the street, I know, because I testified in court. So, NO gun laws would have stopped these stupid, ignorant drugged-up pieces of human trash from getting a gun. NOTHING. The ONLY reason many people are alive is because of licensed gun owners. How many countries in Europe have to deal with the Mexican drug cartel on their boarder? The government can't guarantee your protection. People who have lived in tough neighborhoods know what I'm talking about and those who haven't, won't understand.
You have to be able to defend yourself. In many neighborhoods around this country; that is reality.
What you need and could actually acquire from a gun owner and never actually will , is more than likely irrelevant . Why does your nephew need cocaine , what does your wife get that you can't give her ,out of watching soap opera's ?
Intuition for one thing , I get intuition out of owning guns , the intuition that allows me to read four sentences of an article and know the writers bias'. Security ? No one of the things I get from guns is equal to why you have an antique china cabinate in your dining room , I love walnut stocks , there I said it , the smooth walnut finish of a rifle stock is why I love guns , I build them you see.

Another of my articles for ETP on basic TEFL games and their many uses and variations. Not many photocopiables possible for this one, but one example included below.
Although I would put the blocks that I wrote about here at the top of my list of things to buy for a new teacher's room, a ball would be a clear number two. As well as being useable with lots of different language points, a ball adds a good balance of energy and focus to classes in a way that very few other things can.
Choosing a ball
The ball should be soft enough not to injure anyone or break anything, and easy enough to catch and possibly bounce. For most situations, a beach ball is the number one choice, the only negatives being the chance of getting a puncture, the possibility of spreading germs if many people blow it up, and the amount of bouncing causing too much fun in some classes. The second choice is a soft foam ball. Balls should preferably be about 30 centimetres in diameter, as smaller ones can mean wasted time looking for them under desks, etc, and bigger ones just tend to bounce around without being caught.
For throwing at things, it can also be good to have a sticky ball (also known as a sucker ball), which is a ball with little plastic cups on it that make it stick to smooth surfaces such as a whiteboard or window.
Alternatives to balls
If you want to add even more excitement and/or give the students more time to think and get ready to catch, it is sometimes good to use a balloon instead of a ball. In contrast, a beanbag or something similar, like a pair of rolled-up socks, can take away the bounce factor if bouncing balls might make your students go wild. Screwed-up pieces of paper can also work, with the benefit that the students can make one each and all throw them at the same time if you wish, and for older students it can seem less childish to use a piece of screwed-up paper than it would be to use a beach ball. Particularly if you want to add language related to the thing being thrown, you could also use toys such as soft plastic animals, plastic fruit, and hand or finger puppets.
How to use a ball
As in actual ball sports, the most obvious things for students to do with a ball in class are to throw it (at a target or to each other), catch it, bounce it, pass it, and roll it (across the floor or table top). These different actions can be done individually or together with other people. For example, one student could recite the months of the year as they bounce the ball against the wall on their own, with the other students chanting along or checking for mistakes. In pairs, the students could ask and answer basic personal questions as they throw the ball back and forth between them (either cooperating or competing). In teams, the students could bounce the ball back and forth between two sides of the classroom in a kind of volleyball match, as they test each other on adjective opposites.
Rules for who starts the next round, the scoring of points, when a game finishes, etc can be borrowed from sports such as volleyball, tennis, badminton, table tennis and squash. However, I usually find that using a ball is enough fun on its own, so I generally just get my students to take turns or change the person who "serves" whenever the previous server loses a round, without any actual scoring of points. In the same way, when I tell my students that we are playing "volleyball" and that the ball therefore can't be caught, I'm rarely strict about how many bounces are allowed, what counts as a proper bounce, etc.
For games where the students throw the ball at something in the classroom, on the board, etc (as they would at a basket or goal in real sports), more fun can be added by having them close their eyes and/or adding a goalkeeper who tries to stop the ball going where it should.
There are also some games which are based specifically on passing the ball from hand to hand, with more relation to party games or sports training than to actual sports. Smaller classes can just pass the ball around the class as they drill the language as quickly as possible, eg saying "What's this?" "It's a ball" or "How" "many" "chairs" "are" "there?" "There" "are" "ten" word by word, as the ball goes round the class. A nice variation is to have two or more balls going from desk to desk or around a circle of students at the same time. With larger classes, you can get the students lined up in teams and ask them to pass the ball along the line as they drill the language, perhaps with the person at the end of the line running to the front with the ball to show that they have finished and are ready for the next round. Although it can be time consuming, for extra challenge and/ or fun you can also add variations like the students having to pass the ball only with their little fingers, pass it under their legs, or get to the front of their line by crawling under the other students' legs or by winding in and out through the other people.
There are also two ball action games described at the end of this article that can involve heading or kicking the ball, but these can have the disadvantage of putting the focus too much on sporting skill and not enough on language.
Starting to use a ball in class
With young learner classes, I often stand at the door of the classroom with the ball and shout out "Are you ready?" to show them that something fun is coming from the very first moment of the class. When they have entered the class and are settled down, we then roll or throw and catch the ball as we ask and answer basic personal questions like "What's your name?" and "How old are you?" This then naturally leads on to the drilling games, brainstorming games or target practice games outlined below. I often use those games to move smoothly from revision to the new language point of the day, e.g. using the same game to revise "Do you like…?" and then introduce "Do you have…?"
With older classes, the appearance of a ball can have the exact opposite effect, causing the students to doubt that they will be doing something either age-appropriate or useful. Therefore, you need to set up the activity very carefully before you introduce the idea of using a ball. For example, if you put some short answers on the board and get the students to pick ones like "Yes, I do" and "No, I haven't" and then try to get those answers from their partner by asking questions, this can quickly become too easy and a little dull, so teenagers and even adults might be ready to throw a piece of screwed up paper at the board in order to choose which response they will try to obtain.
Drilling games with balls
A ball is perfect for making the drilling of lists of things like days of the week and months fun, either with one student trying on their own or with different students continuing the list as they throw a ball back and forth. This also works for:
- numbers (including big and small numbers in sequences like five, ten, fifteen, etc)
- ordinal numbers (first, second, etc)
- the alphabet, phonics and example words ("Zed" "zzzz" "Zebra", etc)
- times (one o'clock, quarter past one, etc)
To make it more like real competitive ball games, such as tennis, the students can also test each other with an infinitive that their partner should "return" with the past simple form, or an adjective which their partner should return with the comparative and/or superlative form. This also works for:
- cardinal and ordinal numbers ("Twenty" "Twentieth", etc)
- opposites ("Hot" "Cold", etc)
- pronouns ("She" "Her" "Her" "Hers", etc)
Another possibility for something to do after asking questions back and forth is to split the questions and answers up into individual words as the ball goes back and forth: e.g. "How" "many" "windows" "are" "there?" "There" "are" "three", as the ball is passed eight times. This is more fun if the students have to think carefully about and/or react to the answer, for example running and touching the object that the last student says at the end of a sequence like "What" "is" "it?" "It" "is" "a" "table".
All these games work well with some version of volleyball, meaning that the students can't catch the ball, but have to continue bouncing it until they think of the next word or response, perhaps using a balloon if it is too challenging with a ball. Passing games are also good for both drilling and the brainstorming ideas below.
Brainstorming with a ball
A slight variation on the drilling games above is for the students to brainstorm examples of a category as the ball is caught, or bounced, e.g. "Apple" "Banana" "Orange" etc if the category is "fruit", or "Wanted" "Needed" etc if the category is "Past Simple with -id". A student who says something that doesn't match the category, repeats what someone said before or drops the ball loses that round. Then you can try again with the same or another category.
Target games
The easiest things for the students to throw balls at are words written on the board, and that is also often the place where a sticky ball sticks best. In that way, the students can select:
- what response they will try to get from their partner when they say something to them ("That's too bad", etc)
- the topic or language for which they have to get a "Yes" answer from someone else ("like", "food and drink", etc)
- the language they should use to try to make a true sentence about someone else in class ("have got", "often", etc)
- the topic they have to ask someone about, talk about or do a roleplay on
- who they are, where they are, what they have to talk about or what tricky situation they have to deal with during a roleplay
- which of two sounds they think they heard (/l/ in "lead" or /r/ in "read", etc)
- the topic they want to answer a quiz question on
- how difficult a quiz question they will try next (and, therefore, how many points they might be able to score)
- what word will be deleted next from the "disappearing text" on the board (to be remembered when the next person tries to read out the whole thing)
Parts of the classroom can also be used in the same way. For example, for minimal pairs practice you can tell the students that the wall at one end of the classroom represents the first sound of "yet" and the other wall represents the first sound of "jet", and get them to throw screwed-up pieces of paper at the correct wall for the sound they think they have heard or have seen silently mouthed. However, I more often get my students to aim at actual things in the classroom. After practising common questions at the beginning of the class ending with "What's this?" "It's a (sticky) ball", I then move smoothly from that to getting the students asking each other and me "What's this?" "It's a whiteboard eraser" etc as they throw the ball at those things around the class. They could also ask additional questions about those things, such as "How many windows are there?" "What colour is the book?" and "Where is the sticky ball?" The last question can then lead smoothly on to a game in which the students use cards to make sentences challenging each other to put the ball somewhere in class, such as "Throw the ball under the window" or "Balance the ball on your head". There is a link to further instructions for this game and a photocopiable set of cards for classroom vocabulary, body vocabulary and prepositions of place below.
You can also play a game in which one person throws the ball, and the other students compete to be first to shout out correctly where it has ended up, in order to win the right to be the next person to throw it. All of these can also work with pictures of the inside of a house drawn on or attached to the board. Another variation is for the students to aim at one particular thing on the picture or in the classroom and to say where it actually ended up, in order to be able to try again.
A very specific variation on throwing at things is for the teacher or a student to show the angle at which they are planning to throw a ball and getting the other students to predict where it will end up, with sentences like "(I think) it will land under the table" and "(I guess that) it will land next to the door". They could also listen carefully with their eyes closed while someone throws the ball somewhere in the classroom and try to guess where it is with sentences like "It is under the whiteboard" and "It is near the door".
Ball action games
You can also do a "listening with eyes closed" game with the students guessing things like "You are kicking the ball (against the door)" and "You are bouncing the ball (on the teacher's desk)". To practise can for ability, they can also outbid each other for things that they can do with the ball ("I can head the ball 12 times", etc). Just the top bidder tries and then wins or loses points depending on whether they can actually do what they said.

Mark Horeanopoulos began volunteering with the United Way when a friend invited him to attend a Combat Hunger food packaging event in 2013. He's since been a fixture at the events, diligently helping assemble nutritious meals for local food pantries and shelters.
After he retired, Horeanopoulos took on more volunteer activities, including serving on the Day of Caring steering committee and participating in charity bike rides.
"I had a very busy life when I was working, so now that I have free time it's nice to be able to contribute in multiple ways," says Horeanopoulos.
Once of his recent ventures is volunteering with Partnering for Literacy, a program that supports the United Way's Early Childhood Literacy initiative. Horeanopoulos says his role as a literacy mentor goes beyond teaching kindergarteners how to read and write.
"It's really about being there for the students. Some of them have learning disabilities, while others have troubles at home and need positive role models," says Horeanopoulos. "When I come in, I make them feel special and treat them with respect."

Previous fundraisers in Spruce Grove have risen between $20,000 and $30,000 over the four days of camping.
Spruce Grove Fire Services raises over $20,000 for Muscular Dystrophy
Not even an extreme cold snap could slow down Spruce Grove firefighters.
For the ninth consecutive year, individuals from the fire services in the city camped out on the roof of their offices on King Street. Dan Campbell, Kevin Finlay, Bryce McNalley and Ed McLean spent time on the roof from Feb. 11 to 14 and, though it was cold, organizer Mitchell Balfour says the discomfort was worth it to help those who deal with muscular dystrophy in the city.
"These people live their lives in pain all throughout the year, day in and day out," he said. "What are a few days for us? It means nothing for to stay up on the roof and brave the elements to raise money."
Muscular dystrophy is a disease that degenerates skeletal muscles over time and eventually leaves many unable to walk. According to the Canadian Neuromuscular Diseases Network, it has a prevalence of 1.5 per 100,000 males in Canada. Muscular Dystrophy Canada has worked with firefighters to raise funds for a decade and what is raised stays in local communities.
Previous fundraisers in Spruce Grove have risen between $20,000 and $30,000 over the four days of camping. To date, money raised over the last few years is more than $200,000 and this year the team raised over $20,000 for those in the community who benefit from the assistance.
For Balfour, helping them live is what matters most to him.
"There is probably about five to 10 people in Spruce Grove who are afflicted with muscular dystrophy," he said. "It is a terrible, terrible and awful disease and it is good to be able to help them. There is no break."

boop boop a-doop.
I kind of love these looks. Sick of the braids and the beachy waves and the part down the middle. I've written about the side part and my newest obsession with that, but this is a derivation of that that is super chic and yet a bit edgy, too. LOVE.
Twist it up and let the rest of it hang straight. Or, pin it back with some volume and let the waves happen organically. Both are easy to do yourself and can add some panache to your dirty mop, if need be.
In fact, I think I'll be sporting one of these fancy 'dos to my next big event. For sure.

Here's what some of our satisfied customers have to say:
"Dave helped me train my dog King when I first adopted him (I was his fourth owner!). Dave has a friendly yet authoritative presence about him that my dog respected (or rather seemed to
idolize!). King was eager to try and please him and listened to his commands right away. After our initial consult (observing how easy Dave made things look), it was apparent that the
training was more for me! Dave worked one-on-one with me by first helping me develop the basic foundations with my dog and was soon able to focus in on certain problem behaviors. Dave
made training enjoyable for my dog, and King looked forward to his daily homework. I have since recommended Dave to many of my clients, and will continue to recommend him to anyone who thinks
their dog needs a little one-on-one attention above and beyond basic obedience."
Carol Black, DVM
Dog trainer Dave LaBelle with Premium Dog Training was remarkable with our 8 year old Golden Retriever Kylee. The minute he walked into our house he had an instant connection with her which
was unbelievable. The initial reason we sought Dave's services was for Kylee's fear of strangers, men in particular. She was always a timid dog since puppyhood. He not only was excellent with
our dog but also was very personable with my husband and I. He was always willing to assist us with whatever issues we had even once our training was done. Dave's experience and knowledge
of animals ranks him a top trainer in my opinion (I call him the Canadian Dog Whisperer!) I have referred many fellow dog owners to Dave and will continue to do so. I have nothing but good things to
say. He truly made a huge difference in our dogs behavior and also taught us how to communicate with Kylee to achieve positive results.
Three years later we still keep in touch with Dave. We have since utilized his boarding services and were extremely happy with the way Kylee was treated. Thank you Dave!
