Cuz of the new AP feature I was browsing some of the older post cuz I remeber that JP was asked to assign the names a couple of times and always said no to it.
When browsing this I found something interesting. In one of the earlier post on the AP system (when it got introduced in the first place) JP talked about AO goodies.
If you would have a high number of points you could get discounts.
I have however not seen anything about AO goodies ever since.
I have PMed with intmon and also brought this to light.
So how would AO members feel about AO goodies like coffeecups, mousemats perhaps even shirts and so.
I think with Jupmedia being the new site owner they would be happy to implement this.
(the discounts for the points may not be that good idea.)
The question is:
Would you like/buy AO goodies and what would you like to see ?

BTW I hate the mailman with his smug blue shorts, goatee and chipper disposition.
Sorry for screaming, but I am in a pit of despair, surrounded by albinos.
Well I got the rejection letter today. I am not going to law school. Sad. I really wanted to, at 36 I don't want to wait a year just to be rejected again. I cant do anything about my 2.5 GPA it was 14 years ago.

Female F1 driver De Villota conscious after test crash
By Emmanuel Maganga - Jul 3, 2012
- Maria de Villota hospitalized after a crash during a test event on Tuesday
- The Spaniard crashed into a truck while driving for the Marussia Formula One team
- The 32-year-old is now conscious having received treatment at a local hospital
- De Villota is one of only two female drivers contracted an F1 team
Female Formula One driver Maria de Villota is conscious after suffering "severe facial and head injuries" in a crash during a test event on Tuesday. The Spanish racer, one of only two female drivers involved in the sport, was in Britain driving the Marussia team's MR-01 car for the first time when she struck a stationary truck.
Emergency medical charity Magpas confirmed it had treated a woman in her 30s after a slow-speed Formula One crash at Duxford in the county of Cambridgeshire. A later statement from Marussia confirmed De Villota had received hospital treatment and the tests were still being conducted on her at Addenbrookes Hospital.
"Since Maria's arrival at the hospital at approximately 1045 BST, she has been receiving the best medical attention possible at the hospital, which is the region's major trauma centre," said the Russian-owned team.
"Maria is conscious and medical assessments are ongoing. The team will await the outcome of these assessments before providing further comment.
"The team's first priority at this time is Maria and her family."
Earlier in the day, Marussia had said: "At approximately 0915 this morning, Maria De Villota had an accident in the team's MR-01 race car at Duxford Airfield where she was testing the car for the first time.
"The accident happened at the end of her first installation run and involved an impact with the team's support truck. Maria has been transferred to hospital. Once her medical condition has been assessed a further statement will be issued."
The 32-year-old Spaniard joined Britain-based Marussia in July, after a career which had included spells in Spanish Formula Three, the Euroseries 3000 and the Daytona 24 Hours. The Madrid-born racer is the daughter of former March team Formula One driver Emilio de Villota.
De Villota made her debut behind the wheel of an F1 car when testing for Lotus Renault in August 2011. The only other female driver currently contracted in the elite division of motorsport is Britain's Susie Wolff, who is a development driver with Williams.

Success is at hand and this chipmunk is enjoying the fruits of life.
You too can enjoy success.
Today, so many people are worried about financial situations and the economy.
Jobs and capital are scarce, unemployment is high, home values have plummeted.
There is uncertainty in the financial and world markets and concerns about health care and national debt. So much energy is focused in the wrong direction……toward fear, lack and limitation.
It is easy to focus on the problems and the fear.
The solution is to focus on the positive and what you want to create.
Keep your energy centered on what is possible and the natural flow of abundance.
Everything in the world is growing and expanding.
There are many people thriving right now in this economy.
There are businesses that are growing and profitable.
There are opportunities all around for those who are looking with clear vision.
Where are you consistently focused?
First, it is time to ask yourself what is your definition of success.
Not what Big Business and society tries to sell, not what others people say you should want in life, but what do you really want? What is your definition of success?
Is it based on money, status, lifestyle and financial assets?
Does it include health, relationships, family, quality of life and balance?
How about time for spiritual (religious) practice, time in nature?
Does it include growing spiritually, mentally and emotionally?
Do you have a clear picture of what success looks like for you?
Or do you just have a few goals about making enough money and having a good lifestyle?
Are you designing a balanced life or making a living?
Have you given yourself the time to truly look at what you want in life?
To be truly successful requires building a foundation that is strong enough to create success.
This means developing the beliefs, values, habits and sincerity of care, quality and service.
It means being a person that people trust and want to be around who contributes to their lives and well being. There is no short cut to success, as it requires learning and practicing the proper principles.
These proper principles apply to all areas of life.
The action steps may vary, but the principles are the same.
This is the time for you to look at your life and where you are now and where you are heading.
Do you have a clear definition of success and do you have a healthy, balanced game plan?
If you do you will enjoy success and fulfillment in all areas of your life and true prosperity.
If not, you may make a lot of money and have a lot of things, but not joy and fulfillment.
The choice is yours. You can make it now. You can create true success for yourself right now!

Brand Name Mylan-Buprenorphine/Naloxone Common Name buprenorphine - naloxone
The content of this page:
How does this medication work? What will it do for me?
This combination medication contains two active ingredients: buprenorphine and naloxone.
Buprenorphine belongs to a group of medications known as partial opiate agonists.
Naloxone belongs to a group of medications known as opiate antagonists.
The combination medication is used, together with an overall addiction treatment program that includes medical, social, and psychological support, to treat adults who are dependent on opiates (narcotics) such as oxycodone or morphine. A person addicted to narcotics who suddenly stops taking the narcotic may experience severe withdrawal symptoms.
Buprenorphine works by replacing the physical effects of the narcotic the person is addicted to, which can help make it easier to treat their addiction. Naloxone is added to the medication to prevent it from being misused (i.e., to prevent it from being injected into a vein). Naloxone has no effect if given under the tongue as the medication is intended. But if the medication is misused and injected into a vein (also called "shooting up"), naloxone will work by blocking the effects of buprenorphine, leading to withdrawal symptoms.
This medication may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of this medication may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of this medication may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.
Your doctor may have suggested this medication for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking this medication, speak to your doctor.
Do not give this medication to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor.
How should I use this medication?
This medication must be prescribed by a qualified doctor who meets specific requirements regarding the use of the medication. The dose of this medication varies depending on the individual situation and will be adjusted by your doctor.
The usual recommended starting dose is 4 mg to 8 mg (of buprenorphine) once daily. Your doctor will adjust the dose until you are no longer experiencing the effects of narcotic withdrawal. The maximum daily dose is 24 mg. Over time, your doctor may gradually decrease your dose until the medication has been stopped. Do not try to adjust the dose or stop the medication on your own.
The medication should be placed under the tongue until it has dissolved (this usually happens within 2 to 10 minutes). Do not swallow the tablets. If more than one tablet is needed at a time, both tablets may be placed under the tongue at the same time. Alternatively, you may place one tablet under the tongue at a time, placing the second tablet under the tongue immediately after the first tablet has dissolved. Avoid eating or drinking until the tablet is completely dissolved.
Buprenorphine - naloxone is used for a minimum of 2 months. Do not stop taking this medication on your own. Your doctor will advise you on how to taper the medication to avoid withdrawal symptoms, when it is time to stop using buprenorphine - naloxone.
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
It is important to use this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a single dose, take it as soon as possible. If you have missed more than one dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for instructions. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose.Store this medication at room temperature, protect it from light and moisture, and keep it out of the sight and reach of children. Accidental use by a child is a medical emergency and may result in death.
Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
What form(s) does this medication come in?
2 mg/0.5 mg
Each white-to-off-white, 0.2500" round, flat-faced, bevelled-edge tablet debossed with "M" inside a hexagon on one side of the tablet and "2-5" on the other side.

Are there any other precautions or warnings for this medication?
Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use this medication.
Abdominal (stomach) conditions: As with other narcotic medications, buprenorphine - naloxone may make the diagnosis of abdominal conditions more difficult or it may worsen these conditions. If you have abdominal problems, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Alcohol use: People taking this medication should not consume alcohol since doing so can reduce the effectiveness of this medication and increase the risk of side effects. It is not recommended for people with alcohol abuse problems.
Breathing: Buprenorphine - naloxone can suppress breathing. This effect on breathing may be more pronounced for people with breathing problems or brain damage, or those who are taking other medications that suppress breathing (e.g., codeine, morphine). If you have breathing problems, such as COPD, asthma, or respiratory depression, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Dependence and withdrawal: Physical dependence (a need to take regular doses to prevent physical symptoms) has been associated with this medication. Severe withdrawal symptoms may be experienced (e.g., seizures) if the dose is significantly reduced or suddenly stopped. Withdrawal symptoms include irritability, nervousness, sleep problems, agitation, tremors, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, vomiting, memory impairment, headache, muscle pain, extreme anxiety, tension, restlessness, and confusion. Reducing the dose gradually under medical supervision can help prevent or decrease these withdrawal symptoms.
Drowsiness/reduced alertness: This medication causes drowsiness or reduced alertness. Do not drive or engage in other activities requiring alertness unless and until you know how the medication affects you. Alcohol and antianxiety medications can increase the drowsiness caused by this medication.
Drug testing for sports: This medication may cause a positive result on anti-doping tests.
Head injury: Buprenorphine - naloxone can cause increased pressure inside the head. If you have acute head injuries or other conditions which increase your intracranial pressure (pressure inside the head), discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Kidney function: If you have reduced kidney function or kidney disease, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Liver function: Liver disease or reduced liver function may cause this medication to build up in the body, causing side effects. If you have liver problems, such as hepatitis C, alcohol abuse or anorexia, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. Your doctor may want to test your liver function regularly with blood tests while you are taking this medication.
This medication may also cause injury to the liver, particularly if it is misused. If you experience symptoms of liver problems such as fatigue, feeling unwell, loss of appetite, nausea, yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, dark urine, pale stools, abdominal pain or swelling, and itchy skin, contact your doctor immediately.
Medical conditions: Tell your doctor if you have any of the following conditions:
- Addison's disease
- an enlarged prostate or other problems with urination
- low blood pressure
- a problem with brain health
- a problem with spinal curvature that affects breathing
- an underactive thyroid
This medication may cause a change in the symptoms of any of these medical conditions. For this reason, it is important to be closely monitored by your doctor while you are taking buprenorphine - naloxone.
Misuse of the medication: Do not misuse this medication by injecting it, as this could cause serious effects such as trouble breathing, severe infections, skin reactions, or death from overdose. Do not give this medication to anyone else. It can be harmful for people to take this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it.
Stopping the medication: This medication can cause withdrawal symptoms if it is stopped too quickly. Do not stop this medication without checking with your doctor first.
Pregnancy: This medication should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately. If it is taken near the end of pregnancy, the baby may experience withdrawal syndrome after being born.
Breast-feeding: Buprenorphine passes into breast milk. It is not known if naloxone passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking this medication, it may affect your baby. Breast-feeding is not recommended for women who are taking this medication.
Children: The safety and effectiveness of using this medication have not been established for children. If this medication is taken accidentally by a child, it is a medical emergency and may be fatal.Seniors: The safety and effectiveness of using this medication have not been established for people over the age of 65 years. Buprenorphine - naloxone should be used with caution in this age group.

Patriot Extreme Performance 2GB PC2-9200 DDR2-1150MHz Review
Memory, memory, memory. You can never have to much. Just as you need to keep things stored in your brain to function, a computer needs it for the same thing. How much is enough? How fast is fast enough? Well that is all based on your usage and your desire. Me? I like the fastest and the greatest, and that is where Patriot came in when designing the Extreme Performance PC2-9200 2GB Set. Patriot has been developing flash memory and system RAM for some time, and here they try to bump it up with a set designed for gamers and high end workstations. With so much memory on the market today, how do you know which one is the best for you? Well, that is what I am here for. I am going to put this set of memory to the test against several other manufactures to see if this RAM is truly Extreme Performance. For all of you nVidia fans out there this memory will definitely appeal to you as it is EPP certified which supports SLi.
Closer Look:
Here we see the memory in a standard blister type packaging with the back side clear to allow you to see what you are getting before you purchase them. Each module is sandwiched between two heatsinks made from Patriot's Aluminum Bladed Heat Shield Technology to decrease heat and increase stability. Included in the package are the two matched 1GB Dual Channel sticks, and a quick install guide to help you correctly install them into your computer.
The Patriot Extreme Performance 2GB PC2-9200 modules are rated at speeds of DDR2 1150MHz and have enhanced latency timings of 5-5-5-12. They are also EPP Enabled which stands for Enhanced Performance Profile, a technology designed by nVidia to make overclocking easier. To take advantage of EPP you must have a motherboard that supports it, as well as EPP Enabled RAM.
Patriot's Blade Heat Sink Technology takes a cool approach to keeping the temps of the RAM under control. The blades are secured to the memory chips themselves to draw heat away from them and disperse it away from the modules. The space between the PC board and the blades are totally opened allowing maximum airflow over the board and chips to keep them as cool as possible. This is great for overclocking, as the heat would get trapped in a closed heatsink making the RAM unstable.

A Portland attorney has apparently erred in his second attempt to have Hood River County Counsel Teunis Wyers taken off the case of a disputed land exchange.
"I certainly have more useful things to do with my time than answer bar complaints filed by inexperienced lawyers who do not know how to behave," wrote a frustrated Wyers in his Nov. 25 letter to Stacy Hankin, assistant disciplinary counsel for the Oregon State Bar Association.
At issue is a support document used by Chris Winter from the Cascade Resources Advocacy Group in his quest to have the Oregon Bar Association overturn its recent dismissal of ethics charges against Wyers.
Winter represents the Hood River Valley Residents Committee in pending litigation over the forest land exchange between the county and Mt. Hood Meadows earlier this year. He and co-counsel Ralph Bloemers contend that Wyers should not be involved in the current legal action because the Hood River attorney helped the HRVRC defeat a Meadows destination resort proposal 24 years ago.
In fact, Winter recently claimed that e-mail correspondence during the spring of 2001 between Wyers and a Meadows' staffer discussed the mapping process to determine destination resorts sites within the county — proof that a conflict of interest exists.
"What Mr. Winter unfortunately does not know is that the Teunis Wyers to whom this e-mail was addressed was my son, Teunis G. Wyers, who at that time was working as a planning tech in the Hood River County Planning Department," Wyers wrote in his rebuttal letter.
On Monday, Winter admitted that he did not know Wyers had a son working for the county. However, he said CRAG had no plans to pull its paperwork since the e-mail was not the only issue that had been brought to the Bar's attention.
"We'll just let the complaint go through, this was only one piece of information," Winter said.
But Wyers contends the e-mail was the only new argument in the amended complaint and, since it is not valid, the whole matter should be dropped.
"My general response is that no historical facts have changed, no new ethics issues have been raised, and that this new complaint should be dismissed on the same grounds that the prior one was," he said in his written statement.
In October, Hankin determined that there was no evidence to show that Wyers' possession of past information would harm the pending case. Wyers successfully argued that the current litigation had been filed over the county's legislative action to undertake a land exchange with Meadows and the company did not even have a destination resort application on the table for consideration.
However, Winter has asked the Bar to take a second look at the charges against Wyers since the original complaint was filed during the "writ of review" litigation which was dismissed twice this year in Hood River Circuit Court. He now requests that the Bar scrutinize the facts under the pending declaratory judgment action, a different legal venue using the same facts. According to Winters, Wyers' past knowledge of confidential and private information could injure the HRVRC's interests in the current case.
In July, Judge Donald Hull upheld his ruling of two months earlier that CRAG had followed the wrong legal format in its challenge. He said the "writ of review" was a request for court scrutiny of a quasi-judicial, or legally binding, decision and not for a legislative action.
Hull also determined that neither the HRVRC or McCarthy, one of its members and a plaintiff in the case, had "standing" to file the lawsuit since they had not sustained injury from the trade.
The HRVRC and McCarthy, who resides near the county land in question, allege that local government officials violated the public interest with the exchange. They argue that the appraisal of the timber land did not factor in Meadows' public intent to build a destination resort on the property which borders its Cooper Spur Inn holdings.
The HRVRC contends the trade harms its mission to protect resource land and, thereby, negatively affects its ability to attract volunteers and members necessary for financial support. McCarthy claims that he has lost recreational use of the 640-acre county property that was exchanged for 700 acres with a $1 million payment to Meadows for the value differential between the county's 3.9 million board feet of marketable timber and the 7.9 million on Meadows' property.
The county and Meadows argue that state law requires forest appraisals to be based on the "highest and best" existing use and not on speculation over a development proposal that has not even been submitted.

Matt Holliday hit a solo homer and Lance Lynn spun seven strong innings as the St. Louis Cardinals edged the Miami Marlins, 3-2, to complete a three-game sweep at Busch Stadium.
Lynn (11-3) gave up two runs on seven hits while striking out seven to earn his first win since June 20.
"We've had some heartbreaks as of late," Lynn said. "To be able to get a sweep any time of the year is great. It would be nice to get hot right before the All-Star break and rattle off a bunch of wins."
Allen Craig added an RBI and Carlos Beltran had two hits and stole home for the Cardinals, winners in four of their last five games. Edward Mujica worked a perfect ninth inning to notch his 23rd save of the season.
Adeiny Hechavarria and Jeff Mathis drove in one run apiece for the Marlins, who have dropped four of their last six games.
Jose Fernandez (5-5) allowed three runs on four hits and four walks while fanning five over six innings to absorb the loss.
"They were just better than us," Fernandez said. "I thought I made some good pitches but it's not a secret for anybody, the Cardinals are one of the best teams in the league."
Holliday homered in the first inning to give the Cardinals an early lead.
The Marlins tied the game in the second. Derek Dietrich doubled, then scored on Hechavarria's base hit to right field.
St. Louis added a pair of runs in the third, with Craig scoring Matt Carpenter with a sacrifice fly to right field to put the Cardinals ahead.
Beltran moved to third on the sacrifice fly to put runners on the corners for David Freese, who ended up striking out. Holliday, though, broke for second on the play and quickly retreated back to first, giving Beltran an opportunity to steal home. As Beltran broke for the plate, Miami first baseman Logan Morrison fired the ball home. His throw was off target and Beltran slid by safely to make it 3-1.
Mathis singled home Marcell Ozuna in the fourth to pull the Marlins within 3-2.
The Marlins put runners on the corners with one out in the eighth. Cardinals reliever Trevor Rosenthal struck out Ozuna, but hit Dietrich with a pitch to load the bases. Rosenthal, though, got pinch-hitter Greg Dobbs to ground out to end the threat.
Game Notes
Lynn has won 11 games before the All-Star break in each of the last two seasons and is tied with Tigers starter Max Scherzer for most wins in the majors since 2012 with 29 ... Lynn has won 10 straight decisions at Busch Stadium and improved to 7-0 there this season ... Craig extended his hitting streak to eight games ... Hechavarria extended his hitting streak to seven games ... The Marlins fell to an NL-worst 32-55.

Our Lady Prophets just concluded a tremendous basketball season with a stunning record of 27 wins and only 4 losses. In addition, the sophomore team won the conference with an undefeated record.
Those teams represented their school and community in the highest quality of play and sportsmanship in all their games throughout the entire season. They had great senior leadership from Riley Walters, Cassie Riley and Molly Corbin and a great work ethic from the entire team.
They were tenacious in defense and quick and sure with their passing to offset the height disadvantage they often faced throughout the year. Don Robinson again did a great job of developing a game plan and preparing the Lady Prophets for each game.
The parents and fans were extremely loyal and supportive. Whether attending a home game or traveling to all the away games, the girls knew they had the support of the entire community.
While the season has ended, the memories of this outstanding team will linger. The communities of Prophetstown, Tampico and Lyndon should take great pride in those young athletes who represented the communities both on the court and in the classroom with distinction.
Good luck to the seniors in the future, and we look forward to our returning players taking the court again in 9 months. Well done, Lady Prophets.
Thank you to SVM sports for your coverage. Your great coverage of all area teams is the reason I subscribe to this newspaper.

A remarkable carving, long a favorite of mine, usually called "The Temptation of Eve" (click to enlarge). It resides in the Musee Rolin near the 12th-century Cathedral of Saint Lazare at Autun, France, of which it was once a part. The sculptor did many of the wonderful decorations of the cathedral. On the west tympanum are carved the words Gislebertus hoc fecit, "Gislebertus made this," traditionally assumed to be the sculptor's claim to authorship at a time when religious art was almost universally anonymous.
Whatever the sculptor's name, there is something hauntingly original about his work -- especially Eve. Lithe and sensuous, she seemingly swims through the garden, delectably naked, She is about to pluck the forbidden fruit, and her hand is at her blushing cheek as if she knows she is doing something naughty. She could be any young woman about to embark upon her first misadventure, her very own original sin.
This Eve is a part of nature, her body as sinuous as the twining plants. The stem is about to snap. The luscious fruit will be eaten, and Eve -- lovely Eve -- will bear the burden of innocence lost. And look! Look at her expression. She doesn't know we are watching. But we are watching. And we recognize what's going on. Who has not shared this delicious moment, the first post-adolescent sin?
Science has long since rendered unliteral the story of Genesis. It has given us instead Mitochondrial Eve, the matrilineal most recent common ancestor, who apparently lived in East Africa about 140,000 years ago, and who contributed her mitochondrial DNA to every human now alive. She was not alone with a single partner in whatever passed for her garden. She was part of a population of other human ancestors, one twig of a family tree with a long ancestry of her own. Can we assume she already bore within her evolutionary heritage some mix of the emotions we see in Gislebertus' Eve -- the anxious stirrings of the flesh, the will to be wayward, the headstrong disobedience? And, yes, maybe guilt too.
The new story, like the old one, grounds much of human nature in an ancestral past. The difference is this: In the new story there is no prelapsarian Eden, no world without the pain of childbirth, without thorns and thistles, without the sweat of the brow. We are and always have been like Gislebertus' Eve entwined in a living web. What we are seeing in the Autun sculpture is the dawning of moral consciousness, a moment of singular significance for each of us individually and for our species.

I mentioned briefly in my last post that my grandma was ill over Thanksgiving. Things ended up taking a turn for the worse the week or so before Christmas and she passed away on the 28th. I am going to miss her so much, but I am so thankful that she went peacefully and painlessly. I compiled a few more recent pictures of her here.
Yellow roses were her favorite flowers, so it was fitting we left some for her
She was not only a source of creative inspiration for me, but as a 'maker' herself, she was always so tickled by anything I made her. I think that's why it seems appropriate to share her passing here. This will obviously change the dynamic of the quilt project my mom and I are working on for her, but we know she loved that we took on this project and remembering her while we continue to work on it will be such a pleasure for us both.
Needless to say crafting (and reporting on said crafting) had to take the back burner while we grieved and began the hectic planning necessary to get all of us to Salt Lake City last week for her funeral. Despite the circumstances, it was lovely to spend some time again in a city of which I have only a child's memories. And being in some snow was a nice unexpected bonus (we went from 75 to 80 degree weather to snow and temperatures in the 20s and 30s!).
It would have been nice to spend some more time there, especially given that I actually know a fair number of people in Salt Lake City, both in person and virtually (hi all!). But a short time with family was all that was in the cards this time around.
This also marked Elliott's first plane trip, which he handled most excellently
As for what's next, I have many things to show here and plan to do a couple themed posts given 2009's Christmas gifts were either sewn, embroidered or knit. So stay tuned!
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and I am slowly but surely making my way through everyone's holiday blog posts. Its been a lot of fun to see what you were all up to and your 2009 retrospectives!

EPA Recognizes North Carolina Energy Star Partners for Significantly Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Release Date: 04/02/2008
Contact Information: Dawn Harris-Young, (404) 562-8421, email@example.com
(Atlanta, Ga. - April 2, 2008) North Carolina Energy Star partners are among those showcased in a report released by EPA for reducing greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency. The report, "Profiles in Leadership, 2008 Energy Star Award Winners," highlights 74 award-winning organizations across many sectors of the U.S. economy, including schools, hospitals, real estate, manufacturing, chemicals, and home building.
The award winners were selected from over 12,000 organizations that partner in the ENERGY STAR program. Through their pioneering efforts, the winners have made substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by means of energy efficiency and awareness. They include large and small organizations and those with long track records of success as well as those that are quickly excelling in their partnership.
In 2007, Americans, with the help of Energy Star, saved $16 billion on their energy bills and avoided greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those of 27 million vehicles. To date, more than 2.5 billion Energy Star qualified products have been sold, and nearly 840,000 new homes and 4,000 office buildings, schools, hospitals, and public buildings have earned the Energy Star. Energy Star qualified products, homes, and buildings provide the quality, features, and personal comfort today's consumers expect.
The 2008 Energy Star winners are:
Energy Star Award for Sustained Excellence
Food Lion, LLC (Salisbury, N.C.)
Energy Star Partner of the Year
Environmental Building Solutions (Matthews, N.C.)
Southern Energy Management (Raleigh, N.C.)
Energy Star Award for Excellence
Lowe's Companies, Inc. (Mooresville, N.C.)
Energy Star was introduced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1992 as a voluntary market-based partnership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through increased energy efficiency. Today, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy, Energy Star offers businesses and consumers energy-efficient solutions to save energy, money, and help protect the environment for future generations. More than 12,000 organizations are Energy Star partners committed to improving the energy efficiency of products, homes, buildings, and businesses.

px4 .40 Shooting low/left at 25 and 30 feet
Any advice? Here are two photos. The first is 50 rounds fired at 25 feet. The second is 50 rounds fired at 30 feet(10 yards) at my local range. They are rounds 300-400 out of the gun.

I'm not an expert...
So take this for what it is - another enthusiast's advice but nothing more substantial than that.
It looks to me (just from looking at the targets of course) that you're probably not gripping your pistol properly and/or you're anticipating the shot/recoil.
Typically an "over grip" as in you've got your right hand rotated too far forward so you've got more than just the first section of your trigger finger on the trigger will cause you to shoot low and to the left.
Most people who anticipate the recoil of the shot and "adjust" for it will end up shooting low and to the left as well.
My advice - check your grip and load your gun with a couple of live rounds then a dummy. If your grip is rotated too far forward you'll shoot low and to the left. If you squeeze the trigger on the dummy round and find yourself flinching on the squeeze that can cause it too. Isolate the problem and fix it.
This is who we are, what we do.

There is a definite group in the midst of the holes, so you certainly have something to work with as opposed to just some random pattern. The very first thing to do is to shoot from a rest/sandbag to eliminate the shooter as a variable (as much as possible anyway). The second thing is to have a shooter other than yourself, and of a known quantity shoot the gun. Forget 50 round groups for these exercises and shoot 5 round groups. If the thing still shoots low and left then adjust the sights. More than likely, and especially at those ranges, the sights are just fine. If it shoots straight off of the bench, then it is you. Have a good shooter observe you stance, grip and finger placement. Slow down and concentrate on the fundamentals and you will be surprised. You should also take a target home, make very very sure the pistol is unloaded and dry fire while paying particular attention to the fundamentals as well and sight alignment all the while. Do this dry firing several times a week for 20 to 30 minutes. I guarantee you those groups will shrink.
Good luck.

Try concentrating on not gripping with your little finger.
For demonstration purposes. clear your pistol.
assume your normal stance, get your sight picture. While watching your sights tighten your right little finger. You should see the front sight dip down and left.
This might be part of your problem.

Assuming those are full-sized silhouette targets and are not shot rapid-fire, I would be inclined to agree that the problem is flinching/recoil anticipation/poor trigger control.

In other words, when the gun goes off you're not aiming at the spot you're trying to aim at.
For me, low and left is usually a grip problem, not a trigger problem.
How long did it take you to shoot those 50 shots?

They are 2 1/2 by 1 1/2 feet targets. It took me roughly 45 minutes to go through 100 rounds. After every shot I bring the pistol down while continuing to stare at the target, then bring it up to my line of sight. I definitely appreciate the feedback!

Get a few snap caps and load one of them randomly into each of your magazines when you're shooting at the range.
My guess is that when you hit the snap cap and the gun goes "click" instead of "boom", you will notice that you're moving the gun during your trigger pull.
One cure for flinching/recoil anticipation is dryfiring to train your brain not to tell your hands & trigger finger to flinch in anticipation of the muzzle blast and recoil.

looks like you're tightening your fingers on your trigger hand while squeezing the trigger (assuming you're a righty).
work on gripping hard with support hand, and relaxing your grip on your firing hand.
get a buddy to help you with trigger squeeze drills.
with his back to you have him either load or not load a round, and hand you the pistol. You aim at the target, and squeeze the trigger. If it shoots then YAY! if it doesn't go off (i.e. he DIDN'T put a round in), and you flinch or push the muzzle, then dryfire 5x GOOD trigger squeezes. Continue this for 30-50 iterations (you should use a MAX of 10 live rounds).
Either do this with an empty chamber, or a dummy round if you're concerned about damaging your gun. I've tried and it doesnt work well with an expended casing instead of a dummy round.

I had to same problem
I started aiming with my left eye and making sure my neck was not leaning to the right and this corrected the problem.

Quick answer: When the trigger is engaging, the gun is moving.
Long answer: There are 5 (or 6, depending on which school of thought you follow) shooting fundamentals. Most of us are not born with the ability to be precision shooters. Shooting is far more mental than it is physical.
The fundamentals are:
The 1st three and #6 sets up a good platform for #4 & #5, which are the two most critical for accurate shooting. If the gun does not move while the trigger is being pressed, and up to the time the bullet leaves the barrel, and assuming the gun is reliable and functional, the bullet will hit where the gun is aimed.
Without seeing you shoot, I would be hard pressed to accurately diagnose what you are doing incorrectly. Based on the information you've presented, and based on my own thousands of hours shooting and hundreds of hours instructing others to shoot, I would guess that you are
1. Flinching
2. Flinching
3. Maybe flinching.
4. Right hand applying too much (grip) pressure to the gun
Flinching is a clear indication of lack of concentration on keeping the front sight aligned. Flinching shows that you are thinking about controlling the recoil that is about to happen. The new shooter cannot properly control recoil anymore than the new bullrider can stay on the bull. The goal is to be able to not worry about recoil too much, and "ride it out" (like correcting for a loss of traction going around a corner on a motor vehicle).

'Thank you's to everyone offering feedback so far in this thread.
I recently decided to act on my longtime interest in taking up recreational shooting. I did a lot of research, and bought a Walther PPQ.
Today was my first (ever) day at the range. I shot 150 rounds of Blazer 124 gr TMJ, at 5 yards. I'm bad with measurements, so let's call the targets 'head sized'
Things went alright for the first time out, but I am a bit of a perfectionist, and was annoyed with a strong tendency to shoot low & left.
I hit the forums as soon as I got home, and found this thread. I am glad that I did. There seems to be some great advice in here. As I am taking some time off, I will likely hit the range again, tomorrow. I will apply advice found here, and see if results improve.
Thank you, again!

First off, thanks for posting the distance and type of gun. Helps get a sense of how you're shooting. How many of these shots are double
vs single action?
Everything that people said in the thread so far rings true. Stick with fundamentals: focus on a consistent stance, consistent grip, and a trigger press that goes straight back.
If you think its the gun (which I doubt), find someone who's really experienced or a good bullseye shooter, ask them to shoot a few rounds through your pistol and see where and how tight their group lands.

Have an experienced shooter try your gun. Or a couple different shooters.

If the shooter is right handed, and consistently shooting low-left, I'll wager that at least 95% of the time the issue is "flinching" (anticipating recoil).
If the shooter is left handed, flinching usually send the round to the right and (typically) down.

Chalet Bonneval Reviews
Just returned from a week in Chalet Bonneval. The Chalet was fantastic, it is in a quite little Hamlet called Fornet, with a regular bus servise (every 5 minutes) into Val D'Isere Centre and also its own cable car up to the slopes of Fornet. The Chalet had four bedrooms, all with ensuite facilities. We were a family of 11 people so we occupied the whole chalet (having had an extra bed added to accomodate an add on). Firstly our Chalet Host Guy was amazing, he was very friendly from day one and more to the point his cooking was brilliant. Every night he cooked us a delicious 4 course meal (everything cooked from scratch in our Chalet kitchen) starting with canopes and finishing with a lovely desert. He was very accomodating as certain members of our party were a little fussy and he cooked them chicken if the planned meal was not to their liking. He also cooked bacon egg sausage and beans every morning, in addition to fresh bread, crossoints and cheese/ham, also cereal and fruit juice. Perfect start to the day.We got so attached to him that he became part of our family and we would have liked to take him home with us. The Chalet was plenty big enough, my only criticism would be that there could be more comfy seating areas, there is a large sofa area which probably accomodated 6 people but bearning in mind the chalet was for 10 (and we were 11) often 5 of us had to sit in the hard dining chairs. After skiing all day you all need a comfy settee to sit on. The living area is easily big enough to accomodate more settee space, they just need to move a cupboard. The skiing is Fornet/Val Disere was fantastic, we had 5 days of wall to wall sunshine and then snow on the last day, which the resort needed. The skiing back into Val DIsere/Fornet is hard but you do not need to ski back, you can catch a lift into Val DIsers and then the local bus service back into Fornet Village. I skiied back into the village for two days then decided that it was hard work for me at the end of a long days skiing so the ladies of the group took the lift back to the chalet whilst the hard core men skiied back. You can ski direct to the Chalet by going a little off piste right back to the garage door. There is a lift in Fornet up to some lovely slopes, but you have a little walk from the chalet to the cable car centre, this is not far but it is uphill and there are a few steps to climb which is not good in ski boots. All in all we had a fabulous time, thanks to Guy and the weather and would definitely recommend this to a friend.

What can you say about Val D'Isere that hasn't been said already? It's one of the best ski resorts in the Alps: a huge ski area, guaranteed snow on the glaciers, and fantastic apres ski (make sure you visit La Folie Douce at least once). So that's Val, but what about Chalet Bonneval? It's situated in Le Fornet which is pretty little village 15 mins walk (5 min bus ride) beyond Val. You can see ski in and out of Le Fornet although the slopes do suffer if there's a lack of snow. Our host was an excellent cook and we had fantastic food every night; plus there was the added bonus of tea and cake every afternoon as you roll of the slopes. All in all, a great holiday and a great chalet. If it wasn't for my desire to see as many different chalets in val as possible - i'd go back.
Apres Ski: 5/5

After beating service academy rival Air Force Saturday in Annapolis, Navy (3-1) is planning to play Duke this week, Navy athletic director Chet Gladchuk said Sunday night.
The Midshipmen are scheduled to play the Blue Devils (3-2) Saturday at Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham, N.C., but the ongoing federal government shutdown complicates the matter.
Gladchuk said that he was with several high-ranking officials from the Navy and the Naval Academy during the game Saturday and the subject of the team's next game was never raised.
"No one's told us that we can't play the game and we're proceeding on playing the game unless someone calls me or the superintendent and says otherwise," Gladchuk said. "I don't want to minimize the issue or the angst in the difficult times we're all having ... Tomorrow I'll know better because the chief of staff [of the academy] will have directives for the faculty and staff at large."
Gladchuk said that he is aware that a directive went out Sunday from the U.S. Department of Defense ordering a large number of non-military personnel who had been furloughed last week back to work.
Congress had passed a bill shortly before the shutdown that allowed Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to authorize payment for some 400,000 workers, including some civilians.
Gladchuk reiterated what he said last week when there was question as to who would pay for the game against Air Force, and how the Falcons would be able to travel from Colorado Springs. Navy won the game, 28-10, before a record sellout crowd of 38,225 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
"We don't spend a single time nor have we in decades for football – it's non-government money," Gladchuk said.
The football team wasn't the only Navy team to play over the weekend. The women's rowing team competed in the Oyster Bay regatta on Long Island Sound and the rifle team hosted – and won - the Navy Invitational.
Other sports events were postponed and have been rescheduled. Gladchuk said he will know more about the resumption of those sports on Monday.

Lowry pleads guilty in slaying of North Tonawanda woman
LOCKPORT – Brian C. Lowry pleaded guilty as charged Thursday in the murder of his girlfriend, Heather M. Rylowicz of North Tonawanda.
He admitted slicing her throat with a knife and smashing her skull with a sledgehammer in her Lincoln Avenue home.
Her body was found Nov. 21, but Deputy District Attorney Holly E. Sloma said the 34-year-old woman might have died as early as Nov. 2 or 3, shortly after Lowry was released from jail in Erie County, where he faced a drug charge.
Lowry, 32, admitted to second-degree murder and nine other charges in exchange for a sentence of 15 years to life in prison offered by State Supreme Court Justice Richard C. Kloch Sr.
"That means you could die in prison. That's the end of the story," Kloch told Lowry, who said he understood.
The plea was entered after Kloch read aloud the results of two doctors' psychiatric examinations of Lowry. Both said Lowry had personality disorders and heard voices in his head. However, Lowry is now on medications, and the doctors deemed him competent to stand trial.
The maximum sentence for murder is 25 years to life, but Kloch said he intends to give Lowry the minimum, 15 years to life, when he returns to court May 30.
The number of years refers to the earliest date Lowry could seek parole.
"My own feeling, based on what you've said on the record, is that you should serve the maximum amount that can be imposed," Kloch said. But the judge said he was concerned about the Rylowicz family.
"I want to avoid for them the ugliness and destructiveness and uncertainty of a trial," Kloch said in explaining his sentencing commitment.
"I would have rather seen him get 20 years to life. He's getting off easy," said the victim's father, Frank Rylowicz of Brocton. "He's still young enough to go out and do this to somebody else."
Assistant Public Defender Christopher A. Privateer said, "There was an offer for 15 to life. [Lowry] felt if he went to trial, he would lose."
Sloma said, "From our perspective, we just accomplished having a defendant walk in and plead guilty to every count of the indictment, and the sentencing is in the hands of the court."
Neither attorney offered any explanation for the slaying. Lowry and Rylowicz, who began a relationship last summer, had no reported history of domestic violence, although a neighbor told The Buffalo News on Thanksgiving Day that he heard the couple arguing last summer.
"You cut her throat?" Kloch asked Lowry.
"Yes," Lowry answered.
"And then you hit her on the head with a hammer?" the judge asked.
"Yes," said Lowry.
Besides the murder count, Lowry admitted to two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon; one count each of third-degree grand larceny and petit larceny; and five counts of fourth-degree grand larceny. The larceny charges related to Lowry's theft of Rylowicz's car, cellphone and four credit cards.

The same kind of exercise that can bring peace to your mind may bring peace to your heart as well.
The same kind of exercise that can bring peace to your mind may bring peace to your heart as well.
Researchers at the University of Kansas Hospital are finding that regular time spent doing yoga breathing and stretching exercises may help keep potentially dangerous heart rhythm disorders in check.
A hospital study published recently in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that as little as two one-hour yoga sessions per week can help significantly reduce the number of episodes of rapid, out-of-control heartbeats experienced by patients with atrial fibrillation. These patients also cut their blood pressure and lowered their levels of anxiety and depression.
The results of this preliminary study are so promising, two similar yoga studies at the University of Kansas Hospital are enrolling patients with other disorders that cause faulty heart rhythms.
"Yoga is not a solution in itself, but it provides very profound effects," said University of Kansas heart specialist Dhanunjaya Lakkireddy. "It's not a drug; it's not a (medical procedure). It's something you can do in your living room for not very much money."
Lakkireddy wants to see if yoga training can work for other patients.
He has started recruiting people with tachycardia, another rhythm disorder with accelerated heart rates, and syncope, a disorder that causes fainting when the heart stops beating temporarily.
Lakkireddy's studies are too small to prove definitively that yoga is effective. He hopes to persuade the National Institutes of Health to fund large-scale research to determine with more certainty what yoga may do.
Yoga, with its meditation, breathing exercises and sometimes-difficult poses, has been practiced for more than 5,000 years. Known for its ability to bring inner peace, yoga often is recommended to heart and cancer patients as a way to relieve stress.
Research suggests yoga can lower blood pressure and slow the heart rate. But there has been little study aimed at using yoga as a medical treatment.
Atrial fibrillation is the chaotic beating — sometimes several hundred times per minute — of the two upper chambers of the heart. The irregular rhythm causes the heart to pump less efficiently. Blood can pool and clot in the heart, raising risks of stroke and heart attack.
About 3 million Americans have atrial fibrillation. More than a half-dozen drugs are available to treat the condition, but they don't work for every patient, and even when they do, they can lose effectiveness over time. There also is a heart procedure that destroys electrical "hot spots" that trigger atrial fibrillation; it works about 70 percent to 80 percent of the time.
Lakkireddy theorized yoga may act on the autonomic nervous system — the body's own yin and yang — to bring heart rhythms into balance.
The autonomic system has two components. The sympathetic nervous system produces the "fight or flight" response of rapid heartbeat and elevated blood pressure; yoga may tone it down. The parasympathetic system slows the pulse and lowers blood pressure; yoga may enhance its action.
Several years ago, Lakkireddy began putting about 50 atrial fibrillation patients through a three-month course of yoga training.
They visited a yoga studio in Overland Park twice a week for one-hour classes and also did yoga at home, if they wished.
Study participants wore a portable heart monitor to record episodes of atrial fibrillation during the three months before they started yoga classes and the three months they were going to class. They also filled out surveys to measure anxiety and depression.
Lakkireddy found that yoga training reduced instances of atrial fibrillation by about 30 to 40 percent.
Although yoga is not a substitute for medical treatment, it does improve patients' quality of life, Lakkireddy said. And by reducing the number of atrial fibrillation episodes, it could potentially lower medical bills.
Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common heart problems that end up in emergency rooms.
"It almost competes with chest pains and heart attacks. Even a small reduction can translate to billions of dollars," Lakkireddy said.
While conducting the atrial fibrillation study, Lakkireddy encountered a patient who helped convince him that he should expand his research.
Trayce Loyd, 23, of Moundville, Mo., developed syncope when she was 16. She fainted repeatedly, leading to trips to the emergency room.
"Everything they would test came back normal," she said. "It wasn't anything serious, they said."
Eventually, a heart monitor implanted in her chest revealed her heart was stopping for as long as 20 seconds at a time. She was put on drugs that made her so tired she slept 12 hours a day.
At age 21, Loyd became a candidate for a pacemaker. But her operation was delayed because she lacked insurance. Lakkireddy suggested that in the meantime, she try yoga. She did a yoga routine at least three times per week. She hasn't had a fainting spell in the past year and a half and no longer takes the three or pills a day she did before.

Shane Gibson Memorial Fund Established
Family, friends, and former bandmates have established a scholarship fund in memory of Korn's touring guitar player Shane Gibson '03.
A native of Houma, Louisiana (raised in Fort Walton Beach, Florida), Gibson graduated as a music therapy major and joined Korn as a touring guitar player, accompanying the seminal nu metal band on national and international tours. Gibson was also a member of [Korn lead singer] Jonathan Davis's solo project.
In a statement on Korn's website, band cofounder James "Munky" Shaffer says that Gibson "was an amazing guitar player and an amazing person," and that he is "very fortunate to have known him."
To add your support to the Shane Gibson Memorial Scholarship Fund, click here. Messages of condolence will be passed on to Gibson's family.

I've been blogging off and on for the last 5 years. I've written about technology and programming as well as my personal life and my faith. I've often refrained from geeking out too much on my blog because I didn't want to go over people's heads and most of my readers are not coders. However, I've toyed with the idea of writing a purely programming blog for the last couple of years. Each time I failed to have the passion and I didn't feel I had a lot to offer.
Well whether I do or not I leave up to you. Here goes nothing.
