Neo-Liberal Crisis/social Reproduction/gender Implications
Cohen, Marjorie Griffin, University of New Brunswick Law Journal
Neo-liberalism has had a profound impact on social reproduction in Canada. I will make three main points in this paper. First, periodic economic crises accelerate the marketization of social reproduction and the withdrawal of the state from social security supports. The marketization of social reproduction did not originate in the economic climate of crisis, but rather has been a long-term project of neo-liberalism that proceeds even in times of prosperity. Second, the shift in the relative contributions by the state to social reproduction in turn has a negative implication for the ability of the state to manage crises. There is an architecture of inequality that has become exaggerated with neo-liberal policy and this affects the recovery of economic cycles. And third, the management of crises by the state has gender implications that are often masked by the focus on short-term effects of the crises. The gender bias in both crisis management and long-term neo-liberal economic policy contributes to the increasing instability of economic activity.
Governments normally treat issues of social reproduction fairly narrowly and as an aside to economic performance. (1) Its usual association is in reference to policies and actions related to the household. This, then, tends to relegate its discussion by governments to 'social policy,' since it is not seen as integral to economic performance. Any gender discussions associated with social reproduction by both governments and the business sectors also tend to get marginalized as being significant, but only to women. My intent is to show that the undermining of state support for social reproduction and the disregard of social reproduction's role in the economy contributes to increased instability in the capitalist system.
Social reproduction needs to be seen as not only the reproduction activities that occur in the household, but all of the myriad ways that some feminist analysis understands social reproduction and how it is accounted for within a specific stage of capitalist development. Social reproduction includes the activities of both males and females, and the ways that the market, the state, the community, the household, and the individual are involved in meeting the direct needs of people. The state's role includes activities that directly and universally support the household (medical care, education, pensions, labour regulation and support), as well as specific programs that are more targeted to meet the needs of specific populations (social assistance, disability aid, employment insurance, child care).
At various capitalistic stages each share undertaken by the actors in this process is different, with the state assuming a larger or smaller influence on the social security to support social reproduction, depending on the time, state of development, and political ideology in ascendance. (2)
As is well known, the neo-liberal approach to social reproduction is to replace as much as possible of the state's responsibilities with private market or private household activity. In Canada this has been a very successful project, beginning with the Conservative government of Brian Mulroney, greatly accelerated by the Liberal governments of Jean Chretien/Paul Martin, and carried out in varying degrees by provincial governments throughout the country. (3) While the privatization and the deconstruction of the social role of government has been the main focus of the neo-liberal approach, economic crises have given governments throughout the country a handy excuse to accentuate the need to undermine their roles in supporting popular features of policies related to social reproduction.
Major economic changes are rarely accompanied by appropriate ways to deal with instability in social reproduction. With the rise of the market system, over a very long period of time, the ability to meet the needs of the market with the competing needs of social reproduction found some reconciliation through the mechanisms of the welfare state, in all of its very different forms. …

Ethics body looking at Gabryszak
Improper use of state funds may be JCOPE's new target
Published 9:57 pm, Monday, January 13, 2014
The state's ethics commission has opened a probe of former Assemblyman Dennis Gabryszak, and is looking beyond allegations of sexual harassment brought by his staff members.
A lawyer for one of seven women who filed complaints against the Depew Democrat said she was contacted on Monday by an investigator with the Joint Commission on Public Ethics.
The investigator, Peter Smith of JCOPE's Buffalo office, did not return a message left on his voicemail system. JCOPE spokesman John Milgrim said he had no comment.
However, JCOPE has jurisdiction to investigate improper use of state funds and resources, as it did in its examination of allegations of sexual harassment against former Assemblyman Vito Lopez, D-Brooklyn. If, for instance, Gabryszak used his state computer, cellphone or other equipment for personal activities, he could be found in violation of the Public Officers Law.
Gabryszak, 62, resigned over the weekend and intends to file retirement papers this week. He has been accused of making sexual comments and jokes to women who worked for him in his Assembly office, attempting to kiss one, confiding that he had a tattoo on his penis to another and telling a third that she aroused him. During his seven years in the Assembly, he allegedly also sent his staff via cellphone a video of him having sex or depicting a sex act, and texted smutty messages.
Assemblyman Charles Lavine, chairman of the Ethics and Guidance Committee, said his panel will likely discontinue its investigation of the women's complaints.
On Monday, Assembly staff took down Gabryszak's name from his office in the Legislative Office Building. A former supervisor of the town of Cheektowaga, he stands to receive a state pension that should be good for tens of thousands of dollars annually because of his 31.36 years of service time in the state pension system.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver said he assumed that enough of the allegations against Gabryszak were true to prompt him to resign.
Almost a year ago, Silver appointed Gabryszak chairman of the Assembly Rural Resources Commission, which brought his pay to $92,000 for the last year of his employment.

The ad that never ran
by Cynthia Laird
The No on Prop 8 campaign made a television ad that featured a lesbian talking about marriage but the commercial never aired, the Bay Area Reporter has learned.
Kate Kendell and Geoff Kors, members of the No on 8 executive committee, confirmed during an interview Monday, November 10 that such an ad was made and that it was not shown on television because the campaign had to counter the Yes on 8 ads that said children would be taught about same-sex marriage in schools.
"We had to respond," Kendell said. "I think it was the right decision."
A No on 8 ad featuring state schools chief Jack O'Connell was hastily put up to fight off the steep drop in internal polls that Kendell said was seen after the Yes on 8 ad with a daughter coming home from school telling her shocked mother that she "can marry a princess" and showing the children's book King and King about a prince who falls in love with a prince.
"We dropped 19 points after that ad, the O'Connell ad brought us back 12 points," Kendell said. "We were closing."
"There was not enough money to do both," she added. "The ad choices were dictated by reality."
Kendell said that the unaired ad featured local lesbian Jeanne Rizzo, who was a party to the successful lawsuit that overturned the state's anti-gay marriage laws.
Rizzo and her partner Pali Cooper were one of a handful of couples who were turned away by county clerks in March 2004 minutes after the state Supreme Court ordered same-sex marriages halted.
Rizzo, a registered nurse and executive director of the Breast Cancer Fund, told the B.A.R. Wednesday in a phone interview that she was happy to help the No on 8 campaign by appearing in the ad. She said that the ad was made by Ogilvy Public Relations and taped in her home. In the 30-second spot, she said the core message was: "You've heard domestic partnerships are similar to marriage. I'm here to tell you it's not. My partner and I got married after 20 years together." The ad closed with her saying that she's 62 years old, a nurse, an American, "and I should have the same rights."
Rizzo said she also participated in a "softer interview" that was considered by the campaign but not used.
While she was not part of the decision-making process, Rizzo said that once the Yes on 8 negative ads hit, the No on 8 side felt it had to respond.
"The decision not to run the commercial, they felt was the best strategy," Rizzo said. "I have to respect that decision."
"I don't know that I needed to see myself on TV," she added.
"The question is, what it takes to win this, and do we all want to see ourselves in the campaign to make us feel better or [have] a campaign to vote no," she said.
Rizzo said that like many in the community, she is mad that Prop 8 passed and she questioned those who are second-guessing No on 8's strategy.
"I think we're all mad. But even if there was a misjudgment, that should be in-house and we should not be giving it to them," she said, referring to opponents of same-sex marriage. "They used our own dissension against us."
She cautioned community members to "take a deep breath."
"I think the people who weren't there need to ask themselves ... if you don't like it, get involved, do outreach," she added. "Self-reflection would be good."
While Kors and Kendell said that the B.A.R. could view the ad, at press time a copy of the commercial had not been made available to the paper.
The lack of gays and lesbians in the No on 8 ad campaign was a chief criticism before Election Day, and that has only intensified since Prop 8's passage last week.

Nobody likes paying taxes, except for maybe rich leftist morons who view their sacrifice as all part of the greater good in perpetuating some Marxist utopia, but all sane folks feel they are pretty much tapped out. This is not good news for city/state municipalities who find themselves on the wrong end of their VISA bill, what to do? Since no emails from East Anglia have turned up casting suspicion on that whole blood/turnip quandary, more creative thinking is needed. One area that has garnered some attention of late is the ability to get folks to pay for special treatment, what can the state provide that would separate them from the usual riff raff and make them all warm and fuzzy inside? Bingo, vanity license plates:
To boost state coffers, Texas sold a Dallas doctor a "PORSCHE" for $7,500.
Then it sold him "AMERICA" for $3,000.
Both were license plates, sold at auction. "I will get my American citizenship next month, so it means a lot to me," says Salman Waheed, an intensive-care physician. He also wanted "FERRARI," but dropped out when bidding for that one went too high—eventually netting $15,000, the top price paid.
After years of selling vanity plates as a modest sideline—charging as little as $5—states think there's more money to be made in whatever drives people to buy them. Facing budget crunches, states are raising surcharges or proposing annual fee hikes for custom plates.
Paying extra for the privilege of making a statement is not new. California figured this out years ago, they offer several variations of this theme, from not only different backgrounds but a personalized message on that background. Fees for these plates run anywhere up to a hundred bucks.
I have owned a personalized license plate now for about 20 years (the same plate), and every year I pay my extra fees for the privilege. But now I'm getting nervous, if this auction stuff catches on and it becomes necessary to bid on holding on to this plate, I'm going to be pissed.
Other countries have already mined this vein, with big results. A businessman in Abu Dhabi bought a license plate with "1" at an auction for $14.3 million in 2008. Last year, in England, a retired businessman bought "1 RH"—his initials—for about $400,000. Hong Kong sold a plate that read "STORAGE" for $12,000.
Just like foreigners, ruining a good thing by going to extremes. I think a C note is about the limit to my magnanimity towards the state, any higher and I will go back to being a member of the great unwashed.
Finding something original and personal to you now is all but impossible, and trying to sneak something dirty by the DMV Nazi's, good luck with that.
Anybody out there have vanity plates? Do you think this is a clever idea in generating income(auctioning off each plate to the highest bidder), and what is the ceiling price for you walking away from something that you have had forever?

Cleaning Silk Upholstery
Silk is a lustrous fiber with high strength and good elasticity. It tends to shed dirt and resist wrinkles. Silk dyes and prints well and is usually found in bright rich colors. It is absorbent but dries quickly.
Silk becomes weaker when wet and is easily yellowed and damaged by age, sunlight, and perspiration. Silk yellows if exposed to high temperatures and strong soaps. It is also harmed by alkalis and oxidizing agents (bleaches). Silk fabrics also tend to waterspot if wet cleaned incorrectly.
Some brightly colored dyes used on silk are prone to bleeding. Insects can attack silk. In some constructions, silk fabrics have low abrasion resistance.
The following tech help is on dry cleaning silk upholstery. Testing for bleeding still needs to be done with dry cleaning chemicals. To avoid damage, keep temperatures below 330°F.

GREEN BAY – Mike McCarthy revamped the special teams coaching staff last offseason and promised improved units.
New coordinator Ron Zook and assistant Jason Simmons delivered.
The Packers weren't a special-teams juggernaut in 2015, but the return and coverage units weren't sore spots, either. The re-tooling started with a long sit-down in the offseason involving McCarthy, Zook and Simmons, during which they tore apart the playbook, slimming it down to a more manageable volume to teach and rep.
"The biggest thing is our players bought into it," Zook said in his final remarks to the media earlier this week. "The quicker they buy in and see what we want to accomplish, the better we'll be, and hopefully we'll be better next year."
Packers led the league in punt coverage, holding opponents to a 4.2-yard average. They also ranked 11th in kickoff-return average (24.5), up from last the prior year.
The rankings in punt return (30th) and kickoff coverage (29th) weren't good, but the damaging mistakes were kept to a minimum. Other than one long kickoff return by the Lions and a successful fake punt by the Vikings, both at home, there weren't many breakdowns that proved costly in defeats. The playoff loss at Arizona wasn't a high note to finish on, with a couple of early miscues contributing to a field-position hole, but that shouldn't detract too much from an otherwise solid year.
Janis developed into one of the league's top punt gunners, using his speed and strength to get in the return man's face often. Opponents began employing multiple players to keep him at bay. He also took over kickoff-return duties after
Used sparingly on offense until the playoff game at Arizona, Janis embraced his special-teams role and provided a spark.
"He knew that was where he could make a big impact on this football team," Zook said.
"If you go back and look, we probably left four, at least three touchdowns on the table," Zook said of the return units. "Where we made our biggest improvement in kickoff return is our guys' blocking."
There's plenty of reason for optimism in 2016, too. None of the team's top nine special-teams tacklers (Banjo, Janis,
The biggest issue in that area is kicker
"I told Mason, whatever you did in prep last year, you need to do the exact same thing," said Zook, expressing his obvious interest in bringing Crosby back. "When he does have an issue, he knows exactly what he has to do to fix it, and he does it.
"When you have to have it, those guys are hard to find."
The long snapper position is unsettled at the moment, but there aren't huge concerns with two viable options.
Veteran long-snapper
Zook suggested that Masthay, a dedicated veteran player, sometimes gets caught thinking too much rather than letting his natural ability take over, and he'd like to see Masthay mentally let go more often.
"There's no question he can punt as well as anybody in this league," Zook said. "If anything, he doesn't want to let his teammates down. He doesn't want to let the fans down. He just has to go and do what he can do.
"He can do it in this league and he can do it at a high level."

A Border Divide on Environmental Challenges
By Conservation Director Ben McCue and Assemblymember Ben Hueso
A Border Divide on Environmental Challenges
Saturday, March 12, 2011
A large ongoing sewage spill in Playas de Tijuana contaminated beaches on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border for almost three weeks before California officials learned about it Jan. 18. Why did they not know sooner about this health threat that could have put thousands of San Diego beachgoers at risk? The answer is simple: We have our backs turned on Mexico.
The estimated 31-million-gallon sewage spill should serve as a wake-up call. Our relationship with our neighbors in Mexico requires greater attention from the state of California.
Polluted beaches are nothing new to the California-Baja California border region. From January 2009 through December 2010, San Diego beaches along the border were closed for sewage contamination for a total of 351 days. The binational Tijuana River discharges into San Diego waters and is listed for 10 Clean Water Act pollutants. Local surfers regularly report health symptoms associated with contaminated water.
These are shared cross-border challenges. Yet since the 1990s, internal state policies have discouraged California agencies from collaborating with agencies in Baja California.
We have an opportunity to change this with the new Brown administration. We hope Gov. Jerry Brown appoints a secretary to the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA) who understands the complexity and impact of environmental and public health issues on the border.
Cal/EPA's mission is to restore, protect and enhance the environment, public health and economic vitality of the state. The agency includes the state and regional water boards, the air board and the Department of Toxic Substances Control. In our border region, none of these departments can fulfill its mission without the help of Mexican counterparts. Yet for years, staff has had to jump bureaucratic hurdles even to participate in important meetings in Mexico. For many Cal/EPA departments, this has created significant challenges. How can the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board clean up the Tijuana River if it cannot meet on equitable terms with those who control three-quarters of the watershed? The answer is it cannot. We must allow state employees to travel to Mexico as needed for collaborative meetings with Mexican counterparts.
Binational collaboration is the essential key to addressing shared environmental and public health challenges along our border region. To this end, Assembly member Ben Hueso has formed and is chairman of the California State Assembly Select Committee on California-Mexico Binational Affairs. We will use this select committee as one vehicle to improve our relationship and address these important challenges.
For California, building a stronger relationship with Mexico is not an issue of resources, it is an issue of will. Are we willing to come to the table on equal terms with our neighbors to come up with shared solutions? Prioritizing stronger cross-border collaboration would be a sign that California is addressing these challenges.
We urge our new governor to appoint a Cal/EPA secretary who understands the complex environmental challenges of our border region. We also encourage him to enable agency staff members to meet regularly with their counterparts in Mexico. Pollution does not have borders. Our health depends on us facing this reality.
Hueso, D-San Diego, represents the 79th Assembly District, which includes portions of San Diego, Imperial Beach, Chula Vista, National City and Coronado. McCue is conservation director at Wildcoast, a binational nonprofit.To view original article please click here.

The Ripper Crew
Case History
Beliefs and Rituals
The Chicago Rippers believed that by sacrificing women Satan would choose them as his followers and spare them on Judgement Day. The Chicago Rippers believed that Gecht had connection to the dark one, which allowed him to communicate with evil itself. This imaginary communication caused the group members to not only respect Gecht, but to also fear him and his dark powers. This fear gave Gecht complete control over his three associates.
The Rippers would gather in Gecht's attic and perform different satanic rituals. These rituals usually consisted of the gang members masturbating into the severed breasts while Gecht read from the Bible. The gang would then cut up the breasts and eat them.
The main ritual associated with the Ripper Crew is the process in which each woman was raped and murdered. The men would grab the woman, tie them up in their van, rape and assault the woman, sever the left breast pre-mordem, then proceed to kill the woman by means of strangulation or beating her to death. They would then dump the body in a dumpster, at a construction site, or in the stairwells of apartment buildings.
Analysis of Cult Behavior
Gecht had a real ability to draw others to him and get them to do his bidding. No matter how sick or disturbing it was, he inspired others to get involved. When Gecht was 30, he met Edward Sprietzer, 21, and the teenaged Kokoraleis brothers, Andrew and Thomas. All three were easily led by a charismatic personality. Robin Gecht fits the definition of a psychopath to a T. A psychopath is a person afflicted with a personality disorder characterized by a tendency to commit antisocial and sometimes violent acts and a failure to feel guilt for such acts. With Gecht psychopathic ways and fear instilled in his associates they were able to rape and kill over 18 women.
Robin Gecht, the leader of The Chicago Rippers recieved 120 years of jail time for being found guilty in the attempted murder and raper of prostitute Beverly Washington, despite being the only one to not confess. Edward Sprietzer was given the death sentence but is now serving a life sentence following his confession. Andrew Kokoraleis was sentenced the death penalty and was executed on March 16, 1999. Thomas Kokoraleis was sentenced to 70 years in prison after confessing to being involved in the murder of Lorraine Borowski. His release date was changed to 2017 due to over rulings in his case.

The Chicago Rippers
The Chicago Rippers was a satanic cult and organized crime group composed of Robin Gecht, who once worked for the serial killer John Wayne Gacy, and his three associates Edward Spreitzer and brothers Andrew and Thomas Kokoraleis. The four are suspected in the disappearances of 18 women in Chicago, Illinois in 1981 and '82.
The Chicago Rippers were composed of four men, Robin Gecht, the leader, Edward Sprietzer and brothers Andrew and Thomas Kokoralies. The men, who were in their early twenties at the time of the murders, followed into the notorious trend that swept through the country in the late 1970's and early '80's, practicing satanic worship. They are suspected to have killed at least 18 women, including Carol Pappas, wife of Chicago Cubs pitcher Milt Pappas. The men would abduct women, gang rape them and then by using anything from a can opener to a piano wire would cut off the left breast and then kill the women. There are many occasions in which the men admit to eating the severed breast or placing it in a trophy case next to the altar in the attic of Robin Gecht's home. It was in Gecht's attic that they would perform their satanic rituals.
Robin Gecht, the suspected leader of the Ripper Crew is the only member of the group to not have confessed to committing any kind of crime. Many experts claim that Robin Gecht's pervision began at a very young age. Gecht is believed to have molested his sister in his teens. Gecht became heavily obsessed with Satanism, which caused him to often read out of Bibles and Satanic Bibles. Gecht is rumored to be very charismatic, controlling, and persuasive. It was through this persuasion that Gecht was able to create the Chicago Rippers.

Toronto JUNE-JULY 49-64_Layout 1 13-05-23 1:22 PM Page 55
By David De Marco & Marcello Tarantino
St. Clare Roman Catholic Church celebrates 100 years This year marks the 100th Anniversary of St. Clare Roman Catholic Church, located on St. Clair Avenue in the heart of Corso Italia. What started as a humble desire to create a new parish in the then outskirts of the city has grown into a vibrant parish that has answered the spiritual needs of its parishioners
1913, St. Clare's first Pastor, Fr. Edward McCabe, oversaw the construction of the church. It was designed by architect Arthur W. Holmes in the Renaissance Revival style, and remains one of the few houses of worship in the entire city to be built in this manner. The cornerstone was laid by Archbishop Neil McNeil on Sunday, August 17 of that year and Mass was celebrated in the basement of the church until its completion. In the late 1940s, the surrounding area of the church started to become predominantly Italian. As a result, a need for masses in Italian became essential. By 1959, Fr. Giuseppe Sbrocchi began to celebrate Italian Masses in the church hall and the new community embraced St. Clare Church more whole-heartedly. Soon, it became the pillar of the community, as the parishioners found a place where they could fully live out their faith and religious traditions. After playing a crucial role in the church's growth throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Fr. Mariano Polito was named Pastor in 1974. In fact, the splendid stained-glass window depicting The Prodigal Son is dedicated in his honour. The ever-increasing influence of the Italian culture in the area eventually led to the church's first Italian choir in 1976 under new Pastor, Fr. Giuseppe Dal Ferro. St. Clare continued to flourish throughout the 1980's under the guidance of Pastors Fr. Ermidio Cremona and Fr. Antonio Sandre, who touched many people with their inspirational characters and wisdom. In 1992, St. Clare was officially recognized as an historical building because of its architecture and its abundance of historical artifacts including an impressive selection of stained-glass windows, most notably the one depicting The Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit. It was realized by prolific Italian artist Guido Nincheri, who came to Canada in 1914 and completed more than 2,000 stained glass windows in over 100 churches across Ontario, Quebec, the Maritimes and New England. The other note worthy stained glass work is of the church's patron saint, depicted in the two windows directly over the main altar as well as in a semi-circular one above the main entrance. The large clerestory windows have been dedicated to the memory of former pastors and parishioners, while the smaller ones portray the joyful and sorrowful mysteries of the Rosary. In 1998, Fr. Ernesto De Ciccio became Pastor. He played an instrumental role in organizing and completing a major restoration of the entire church. Today, the magnifi-
cent painting of the Crucifixion is back in its original location above the altar and the ornate stenciling work has been beautifully restored to its former glory. On the east wall of the sanctuary, a vivid depiction of the Baptism of Christ serves as the backdrop for the baptismal area. The two side alcoves contain the chapel of the Blessed Sacrament and the Chapel of the Crucifix, both decorated with superb stencil work. The present Pastor of St. Clare, Fr. Vito Marziliano, understands the importance of St. Clare and its 100 year history. "Upon entering the church, the faithful can feel the prayers that for the past century have been lifted up from these pews and these walls. The walls themselves tell of untold stories of all who over the years have found solace and comfort, strength and hope in this holy place." Over the last century, St. Clare has celebrated a plethora of marriages, comforted families and individuals in moments of challenge and sorrow, and rejoiced with thousands in welcoming new life into their families. It has and continues to be the heart and soul of its community.
In honour of St. Clare's centenary anniversary, there will be a series of religious, social and cultural events, culminating with a gala celebration in October. The gala is a very important event as it will help raise funds that will facilitate in maintaining the church and keep it financially stable. Sunday, August 11, 2013 – Feast of St. Clare Solemn Mass to be celebrated at noon to mark the beginning of the 100th Anniversary. The new statue of St. Clare will be unveiled. Followed by reception in church hall. Sunday, September 8, 2013 – Feast of the Birth of Mary Mass to be presided by His Eminence Cardinal Collins. Blessing of the new statue of St. Clare. Reception to follow in the parish hall. Friday, October 18, 2013 – 100 Year Anniversary Gala at the Liberty Grand Tickets for the gala are on sale now. Tickets cost $150 per person.

That actually looks like it might help a lot, I'll have to pick that up when I get a chance, because I sure cannot make patterns by myself. Although I think my circle skirt went pretty well :P

2. Red layer. This is puffed out at the top either through shaping seams or gathering - it's sewn at the top and under the puff to the underlayer, which it then follows until you make the ruffle layer.
3. The black layer. This is the same as #2, but you have black strips over the puff. You can use the gold "tacks" to attach it as shown or sew and make that decorative. In order to not slide down, blind stitch/tack the black layer to the ones under it under the puff area so it doesn't pull down and droop. The rest is like above, only smaller ruffle.
The ruffles are probably circles of fabric or fabric that has been box-pleated - either should work and look good.
See this is what I was thinking, where I had elastic around the top and at the middle around the elbow piece, and that I had a red puffy layer and black strips over it like you were suggesting, and then of course a pleated layer for the bottom bits. But I wasn't sure if I was just guessing it wrong or if maybe I was actually getting a knack for guessing how to make things by looking at them. Although I didn't think about putting a 'sleeve' on the inside that actually might make things easier now that I think about it. Thank you

The TRIJICON Sealed Reflex Sight, 1.75 MOA Red Dot Reticle w/ Quick Release Flattop Mount (SRS02) represents the highest level of performance from a sealed reflex-style sight. Because of its innovative design, this sight takes up less rail space while maintaining the durability expected from Trijicon. The shorter housing eliminates the tube-effect typical of other sealed reflex sights. Featuring a large 28mm aperture, the SRS provides a massive field of view for quicker target engagements.
Equally impressive is the technology built into powering a LED lighted 1.75 MOA aiming point that includes ten brightness settings – including three NVG settings. The SRS is powered by a solar panel and a single, common AA battery. This uniquely patented configuration allows the user years of illumination life from a single battery by offering an intuitive "solar assist", that is, drawing on battery power only when the solar cell requires additional energy support for illumination based on ambient conditions.
The Trijicon SRS is built to endure the rigors of extreme in-the-field use and carries the same stringent testing requirements as the renowned Trijicon ACOG line of sighting systems. Additional features include a parallax-free objective lens, an auto-locking, self-adjusting level mount and waterproof to fifty meters.
Price: $955.00
The TRUGLO PWR-Dot Electronic Archery Sight, Green Aiming Dot, Black (TG6502B) is specifically engineered for archery. This compact dot sight features unlimited eye relief and precise Steady-Dot technology, which gives you improved accuracy for consistently tighter groupings and faster, one-look target acquisition.
The whole sight is adjustable with one hand for quick ranging; its vertical adjustment works with virtually any bow. Its aperture boasts a .875″ inner diameter for a wide field of view. Dot intensity can be controlled by the adjustable rheostat. The light-enhancing multi-coated lens also has an anti-reflective coating on its target-facing side to promote maximum brightness.
The PWR-Dot Electronic Sight features a precision micro-adjust sliding bracket with a removable quiver mount, CNC-machined aluminum body, water- and shock-resistant design, glow-in-the-dark yardage tape. Sight is convertible for right and left handed shooters. Uses one 3V-CR2032 battery (included).

Steve Austin and Meopta USA Partner to Release
Limited Edition Broken Skull Ranch Riflescope
Austin to Greet Fans in Meopta's Booth at the
NRA Annual Meeting and Exhibits in Houston
HAUPPAUGE, NY, April 24, 2013 – Pro wrestling hall of famer and action movie / TV star, Steve Austin, and Meopta USA are joining forces at the NRA Annual Meeting and Exhibits in Houston, Texas to introduce a limited edition Broken Skull Ranch riflescope. Austin, a lifelong hunter, worked closely with Meopta to create a customized special edition Meopta MeoPro 4-12×50 riflescope which features Austin's Broken Skull Ranch logo on the objective bell and his signature on the ocular.
"We are excited to partner with Steve to offer his fans this special edition Broken Skull Ranch riflescope," said Reinhard Seipp, general manager and chief operating officer of Meopta USA. "Steve shares our passion for hunting and the outdoors and knows that our optics are engineered not only for exceptional optical quality but extreme durability as well. He is the ultimate test. If Meopta optics are tough enough for Steve Austin, they are tough enough for anyone!"
Austin, a Texas native, first achieved fame as a professional wrestler under his ring name "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and has since appeared in numerous television shows and acted in movies alongside Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis and Adam Sandler among other stars. Despite his fame, Austin has not forgotten his Texas roots and remains committed to hunting and his love of the outdoors. He currently splits time between his residence in Los Angles and his beloved Broken Skull Ranch in Tilden, Texas where he hunts any chance he gets.
"I have been an avid hunter and outdoorsman all my life so partnering with Meopta to bring the Steve Austin Broken Skull Ranch hunting scope to the marketplace is a dream come true for me," said Austin. "I am passionate about everything I do, and I need equipment that is tough enough to withstand the Broken Skull Ranch test. Meopta scopes and binoculars deliver big time; they are rugged, clear, and sharp with amazing light-gathering capabilities. Everything I want and need which is why I proudly hunt with the Meopta MeoPro 4-12×50 riflescope."
Pre-orders for the limited edition Broken Skull Ranch riflescope will begin Friday morning, May 3, in the Meopta Booth (# 5025) and will continue throughout the show. Customers who purchase the scope will receive a certificate of authentication signed by Austin and shipped with the riflescope and also receive a bonus giveaway for Austin to sign in person at the show.
Austin will be joining the Meopta team in its booth to greet fans and sign autographs from 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm on Saturday, May 4. For fans who are unable to purchase a scope, there will be other surprise giveaways at the Meopta booth throughout the show. Fans may also register to win a Meopta Broken Skull Ranch riflescope. The drawing for this will be held in the Meopta booth at 4:00 p.m. Saturday.
Meopta MeoPro Broken Skull Ranch 4-12×50 – Reticle # 4 $599.99

Leica Sport Optics invites you to stop by booth #3811 during the NRA 2013 Annual Meeting & Exhibits to see and handle some of its newest products. Leica is officially unveiling the new Leica ER i riflescope models during the NRA event to be held in Houston, Tex., May 3-5 2013. Get a close-up look at the ER i 2.5-10×42 and the ER i 3-12×50 riflescopes, as well as the new Geovid HD-B laser rangefinder binoculars.
Boasting a lean and classic design, the two models feature Leica's legendary optical performance and the addition of an illuminated red dot, available in three reticle configurations: 4a, Ballistic and IBS.
The ER i features a large and ergonomically designed setting dial on the left side of the riflescope, so even a gloved hunter can easily activate and adjust the illuminated dot on the reticle. Nine brightness settings, as well as clearly defined "On/Off" positions, guarantee a clear and distinct view, even during low-light hours when game animals are most active.
Leica's sophisticated, energy-saving system ensures maximum battery conservation. On the brightest setting, the battery lifetime in continuous mode is more than 40 hours and more than 210 hours on the intermediate setting. Plus, with Leica's intelligent "Auto On/Off" function, the illumination will turn off when not in a regular shooting position or when left on unintentionally, providing even longer battery life.
You also won't want to miss the opportunity to examine the Geovid-HD B. This new laser rangefinder binocular contains advanced ballistics technology enabling users to add/create their own custom ballistics info for their specific firearm as well as class-leading ranging abilities.
The newly developed ballistic function ABC™ (Advanced Ballistic Compensation) provides the proper aim point for the hunter and shooter. The Geovid HD-B's integrated, highly precise ballistic processor can instantly gather and analyze the ballistic information with one touch of the button, giving accurate information for the correct hold over, turret adjustment or drop down reticle aiming point. When calculating the trajectory, the distance, angle, temperature and air pressure are all taken into account.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to review the latest in Leica new products and innovations. They'll be plenty of Leica representatives on-hand to answer your questions regarding the impressive new products.

After a successful launch of their premium ZE 5i riflescopes last year, MINOX has announced an expansion and enhancement of the line, including different reticles and a Z-Rail mount for highest stability when shooting.
There now are three different illuminated reticles available – German 4, for twilight conditions; BDC for long shooting distances; and Center Dot for precision. All are dimmable in 11 brightness settings, so the target is quickly and reliably sighted. Objective lens components have the innovative M* multi-coating for excellent light transmission.
All four models of the ZE 5i riflescopes feature a 30mm main tube and a 5x magnification, offering maximum flexibility and precision for short- and long-range shooting distances. The shock-resistant body, made of a special anodized aluminum, is watertight and has Argon gas filling for protection of internal optical elements.
The new MINOX ZE 5i line will be available in four basic models: 1-5×24, 2-10×50, 3-15×56 and 5-25×56, with various reticle options. As with all MINOX riflescopes, these premium "Made in Germany" models, priced under $2,000, will be covered by the MINOX Total Coverage Lifetime Warranty for added peace of mind, for as long as one owns the product.

Welcome to the newly refurbished DailyTekk (same great look, renovated content lineup). It is now January 2013 and DailyTekk is one year old! In that past, our guiding principle was this: curate cool and useful technology. Now we've got a new driving force: an insatiable curiosity for interesting technology. It's not that we aren't going to be curating the tech news, product and company launches, resources and tools as we have in the past, we will continue to do that in the future, but we're refocusing on going a little bit deeper.
There are plenty of great tech sites that report on EVERY little tech development: TechCrunch, PandoDaily and VentureBeat among others for reporting on the world of tech startups, Mashable for social media news and lists, The Next Web, Ars Technica, Wired and All Things Digital for traditional style tech coverage. All that is just scratching the surface of the tech blogging/reporting world. There are review sites like Engadget and Gizmodo, there are scads of sites dedicated to Apple and Android products. All that and I haven't even mentioned the other sites that make up the Say Media tech channel along with DailyTekk: ReadWrite, Techdirt, Android and Me, SplatF, Gear Patrol and now Techli. All that to say… where does DailyTekk fit in?
DailyTekk has been, and always will be (unless I ever sell it), a reflection of my own personal curiosities and interests about technology. I have roots as a designer and an IT Director, an entrepreneur and a nonprofit enthusiast. I love business, startups and big ideas. All of this experience has made me very opinionated and I will start expressing my views regularly via the Radar feature of the site. Essentially, Radar will function as an editorial column where I will give you my 2 cents worth… and will function as the main pillar of DailyTekk. I'll try to post on Radar as often as possible. Sometimes that will be four times a day and sometimes it will be once a week–it will all depend on my schedule and mood.
The big addition to DailyTekk this year will be the addition of a bunch of great series featuring insights from very smart and talented people including journalists and freelance writers, executives and founders and experts and thought leaders from varying sectors. At the start of the year we've got 6 excellent new series for your delight in addition to a few staples you've already been exposed to. Here's what the total series lineup looks like for the beginning of 2013:
Understanding: The Understanding series is a weekly four part series that aims to give you a deep and broad understanding of any given subject. DailyTekk will connect you with the experts you'd otherwise never have access to. Expect a wide and interesting assortment of topics from Instagram Marketing to Big Data to Robots and more.
Company X: This exciting series is going to take you inside the world's most exciting technology companies from the point of view of an employee. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work for an "it" company like Twitter or Hulu? Wonder no more! Each week DailyTekk will expose the inner workings of a new technology company.
Product Y: There are cool tech products and then there are iconic products that redefine the essence of cool. It's exactly those types of products that this series will bring you as close as possible to in the form of behind-the-scenes and making-of style insights from the people who made them. Get ready for some never-before-seen concept and prototype images (exclusives to DailyTekk).
Startup Stories: I'm fascinated with startups. I'm an entrepreneur at heart so I'm naturally inclined to dig into the genesis of successful and interesting technology startups. You'll find out how your favorite tech startups came into being here.
Game of Fame: These days more and more people are gaming thanks to mobile phones and a refocus by the gaming industry to include casual gamers. Game of Fame is here to tell you what it took to make your favorite games a reality and where the original ideas game from in the first place. Oh ya–we've got plenty of never-before-seen concepts in store for you as well.
The Platform: Think of The Platform as TED style talks… typed. We ask thought leaders from different technology sectors to share their big ideas and innovations with us here. If you want to get smarter and wrap your head around new concepts, techniques and breakthroughs, this is the series for you.
Innovators: This series is not new to DailyTekk–in fact, it is the oldest series we have. Over the last year we have highlighted some amazing companies and people and this year we will expand on that list by adding ever more awesome people. Find out what drives success and get advice for your own startup.
Think Tank: This series asks burning questions to a group of technology heavy-hitters who give you their opinion to help you make up your own mind. Sometimes packed with useful advice and other times dishing hard-hitting commentary, you never want to miss a week of the Think Tank.
New this year as well is a focus on reviews and news. What kind of a tech blog would we be if we only commented on other people's coverage? We're a small team, so the news and reviews on our site will be less frequent than what you will find on other, larger, tech blogs but it will be no less useful or timely. As with everything on DailyTekk, we filter: that means we will only post about things we think are interesting. If we don't cover something it will be because it is not worthy of our limited time and resources. Essentially that is a good thing because we cut down on the noise and give you only the good stuff.
So there you have it. That's what you can expect from us in the new year. I can't wait to grow our audience and resources so that we can continue to improve our offering. If you are a long-time reader of DailyTekk, what do you think about these changes? Is there anything else we can improve or any other ideas you have for us?
Thanks for reading and thanks for a great first year. I know we'll have some exciting new announcement for you around this time next year! Don't forget to follow us on Twitter for the latest updates @DailyTekk.
