Local writer Fred Wildfang has put together some wonderful books containing historical photos from our area. One such book is part of the Images of America series called Durango.
Its last few pages contain pictures of the Rochester Hotel. Some, dating back to the 1960s, show the hotel in serious disrepair. Flop-house is a fitting term.
When Wildfangs wife Diane and her son Kirk Komick purchased the hotel in 1992 they, in turn, invested hundreds of hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars into restoration.
The result is what exists now, including the beautiful courtyard on the south side of the building. Its a place thats ripe for concerts and theres no sense letting good performance space go to waste.
Waste it wont with a series of happy-hour concerts featuring blues, folk and bluegrass each Wednesday in June.
The shows are being booked and promoted by Beth Lamberson and the Rochester staff members.
After Lamberson brought Travis Book and Sarah Siskind to the courtyard in September, it seemed obvious that early outdoor concerts could be performed in The Secret Garden.
Sarah and Travis summed it up in September. They loved the early show time, the casual vibe, the setting is simply gorgeous and full of fresh air and ambience, Lamberson said. Others agreed as 140 tickets sold for that show.
The hotels become a popular music venue in recent months for good reason. The ticket price is cheap, the shows start and end early, and the artists and attendees are happy.
The series will kick off with Santa Fes Alex Maryol. Maryol began playing blues music in bars when he was a teenager and was a regular on stage at Scoot n Blues (in the space thats now the Irish Embassy).
He just played Saturday on the Blues Train, an offshoot of the Telluride Blues and Brews Festival, and he was a Blues and Brews regular from 2001 to 2008. For Wednesdays performance, hell play solo and acoustic.
June 13 will feature Darryl Purpose. The singer songwriter had a healthy career from 1996 to 2004 touring and releasing CDs. He then relocated to Nederland, took a break from writing and performing and gambled.
Now a member of the Blackjack Hall of Fame, Purpose has jumped back into music. Look for a new release of original material later this summer.
On June 20, Portland, Ore., bluegrass-band Wayward Vessel will perform. Wayward Vessel formed in 2009 when guitarist Ken Chapple began playing with fiddler Julie Schmidt. They were joined in 2011 by bass player Belinda Underwood and mandolin player Josiah Payne.
Payne is no stranger to Durango, growing up as a young mandolin picker in the Pagosa Hot Strings.
After the Rochester show, Wayward Vessel will go to Telluride for the Bluegrass Festival to compete in the band competition which Paynes Hot Strings won in 1999.
Wayward Vessel also just recorded its debut, Before the Grey. Payne has always been a purveyor of new-grass, making him a nearly lifelong crowd favorite in Durango and Telluride.
The last show of the month will feature solo folkie Bruce Mandel on June 27. Mandel is a New Jersey native who began his music career on the coffee-house circuit in the East.
After attending a songwriting convention in Durango in the early 90s, he relocated here and was a co-founder of the Durango Songwriters Expo in 1996 with Jim Atteberry. Mandel now resides in Southwest Massachusetts. His latest release, Barnstorming Troubadour, will be released June 18.

I installed the latest stable 64bit Crunchbang backport. When I tried to hibernate it last night, it rebooted into the locked state - when I logged back in all my windows/apps were as they were again.
Two things:
- How do I get Crunchbang to hibernate? hibernate works in my Windows7 partition. Crunchbang is installed on a separate physical drive than Windows and the bios.
- How did Crunchbang effectively shutdown and restart with the state of all my opened apps intact? If this a feature can someone tell me how to do it explicitly because it would be really useful.

Built on a foundation of trust, Armstrong has built a reputation of quality and craftsmanship throughout its complete line of flutes. The 800BEF flute offers players the same durability of the student flutes with added tonal color and beauty from the Sterling silver headjoint and body.
The "Progressive" style headjoint offers players crisp response and ease of playing throughout all registers.
The Sterling silver headjoint gives players more tonal character and flexibility, and the gold plated lip plate and crown offer additional beauty to the flute.
The Sterling silver body gives the flute a warmer, darker sound than traditional silver plating.
Open hole keys provide flutists the ability to play a higher level of music that include techniques such as quarter tones, encourages proper hand position and provides more clarity in tone.
The offset G key follows the natural contour of flutist's hands and makes playing more comfortable.
The split E mechanism makes the third octave E natural easier to play and speak more clearly.
The B footjoint allows flutists to play a broader range of music and makes the 4th octave C speak more clearly when using the gizmo key.
Top adjusting screws provide ease of repair and adjustment to keys.
Built in Elkhart, Indiana, the Armstrong 800BEF flute is designed to last and will enhance the playing experience for flutists of all levels.
Brand History:
In 1931, William Teasdale Armstrong, a highly respected craftsman and a C.G. Conn shop foreman, founded his small flute repair shop in Elkhart, Indiana. Word of his skill and uncompromising commitment to quality quickly spread, and it wasn't long before he was asked to manufacture instruments for professional musicians.
The proud Armstrong heritage passed on to son Edward, who apprenticed under his father and shared his father's attention to detail regarding quality. Edward's concern for quality went well beyond the crafting of professional level instruments. He recognized a need to provide quality instruments to a rapidly growing number of students and community musicians.
In the 1970s, Armstrong developed a "new" flute scale in conjunction with Albert Cooper. Prior to this new scale, flute makers would correct the tuning of A=435 commonly found on flutes by cutting the end of the headjoint to bring pitch up to A=440. While this served to correct the pitch in the center registers, all other octaves did not play in tune. Armstrong and Cooper collaborated together to create a whole new flute with improved performance. Changes would include a tapered headjoint, alterations to dimension of tone holes and tone hole placement. This redesigned flute would become today's 102, 103, and 104 model flute platforms.
In 1984, the Armstrong woodwind company was sold to King Musical Instruments, which later merged with C.G. Conn in 1985 to form United Musical Instruments (UMI). UMI later merged with the Selmer Company in 2002 and created Conn-Selmer, Inc.

Lyrics:First verseTell me sweet heart why this sighing Tell me why this bitter tear Each cloud has its silver lining Brighter days my bring good cheer In the night the darkest hours Come be fore the break of day Think my darling of the sunshine When the clouds have passed away.ChorusDo not forget the old days, The days of long ago, Do not forget The Summer breeze that whispered soft and low Telling as sweet a story As the coo of the tender dove Do not forget the olden days Do not forget my love. Second verseWhen the night is dark and stormy When the rain drops patter down Sweetheart do not be so gloomy Do not wear a down cast frown Days may come and days may go dear, But our love remains the same Let this be a light to guide us Let me sing you once a gain.(Chorus)

Film Review: Queen of the Sun
Film trailer from DocumentaryTrailers on YouTube.
Gunther Hauk has dedicated his life to nurturing honeybees. He loves, maybe even worships, the fuzzy black and yellow insects. Thirty years ago he bought a farm and planted a variety of flowers, plants, and herbs, all for the benefit of the bees. "I had that feeling of urgency to start this biodynamic farm with a bee sanctuary at its heart," he says.
Hauk is just one of the passionate beekeepers in director Taggart Siegel's Queen of the Sun, a creative documentary that chronicles the startling disappearance of entire hives, while offering a gorgeous, romantic, and sometimes eccentric tribute to the honeybee.
The film also shows why bees need devoted advocates. Colony collapse disorder, in which whole hives die off, has been responsible for alarming losses in recent years. The epidemic threatens more than just honey production, as bees play an important role in pollinating 40 percent of crops. There is no one proven cause of colony collapse disorder, but the most likely suspects—monoculture on a monstrous scale, the use of pesticides and herbicides, and industrial beekeeping, which limits genetic diversity and disease resistance—are described.
"If we kill all the bees, there will be no agriculture," Slow Food president Carlo Petrini says in the film. That may be an exaggeration—flies, beetles and other insects also pollinate crops—but bees are vital to our current food crops. Queen of the Sun makes a good case for bees as "the canary in the coalmine" that signals the damage we are causing to other pollinators and the natural world.
Taggart Siegel juxtaposes facts and statistics with episodes of nature worship that, although whimsical, highlight the intrinsic value of bees, the honey they produce, and the colorful flowers that employ them and have evolved alongside them. Bees are small but essential engines of the ecosystem. "We should actually be revering them because they are actually keeping us alive as opposed to the other way around," says one rooftop beekeeper in London.
The filmmaker's enthusiasm for the beauty of this creature is infectious. If Queen of the Sun doesn't inspire you to become a beekeeper, it will at least give you a deeper appreciation for the essential work bees do, and our own stake in their survival.

Seen and Heard: All paintings are mixed media - acrylic, oil, latex and/or alcohol ink - on professional grade gallery wrapped canvas (no staples) of varying sizes, most are large; gloss varnished, wired and ready to hang unframed. I sign them on the back which does not interfere with the design. Shipping costs vary according to size, but average $50-$75 for domestic shipping on the large sizes. Each one is professionally boxed and shipped via UPS. Please contact me directly to inquire about purchasing a painting. If you see something you like or have particular colors in mind, commissions and inspiration are always welcome. Please contact me for details and availability. ***By clicking on the thumbnails of the paintings below, you will be able to read a brief description of my inspiration for each one....some have cool links, too, so check it out!***
White: On a dare from a good friend, I recently started working with white. As you will see, though, I'm a bit married to color, so there's always some color peeking through. White is a very hard color to master, if you can believe that, but I enjoy the challenge. Same basic shipping parameters apply.
Experimentation: All of the paintings in this series are 16x20 standard width canvas (back staples) and are numbered instead of titled, all gloss varnished. I price them all the same - $225 signed and unframed or $275 signed, framed, wired and ready to hang. I use only a plain black floating frame which allows the painted sides of each canvas to show nicely and does not interfere with the dynamics of the art. I can e-mail you an example of the frame I use. If you desire another type of frame, it's best to purchase unframed. UPS Shipping and packaging on these is an additional $40.00. Please contact me for details and availability.
HOUSEKEEPING NOTE EFFECTIVE JANUARY 2014: The "CART" function is not enabled at this time, and I'm not sure if I will enable it. Buying art is so personal....for both the artist and the client. If you see something you like, please just e-mail me - see "Contact" page. Shipping costs will vary with canvas size, preferred method of shipping and your locale. Also, I like to be able to personalize the Certificate of Authenticity. So, I have taken the impersonal "CART" function and chunked it. However, you may use it to earmark paintings you like and are interested in purchasing, if that helps you to decide.
If you feel you would rather purchase a print, instead of the original, you may visit my other website at www.lwsart.artistwebsites.com. Please be aware, though, that I do not update that one as often as I do this one because I'm sometimes lazy about that sort of thing.

Joan A. Spurrier, a retired legal secretary and family matriarch, died of kidney failure Sunday at Greater Baltimore Medical Center. The Idlewylde resident was 80.
Born Joan Anita Adams in Baltimore and raised on Beaumont Avenue in Govans, she was the daughter of Pius J. Adams, personnel manager for the Diamond taxicab company, and his wife, Elvina Adams.
Mrs. Spurrier was a 1951 graduate of Eastern High School, where she was the head majorette of its drum and bugle corps. She remained active in its alumnae association and remained class treasurer and worked on reunion committees.
After attending the old Mount St. Agnes College, she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in history at the University of Maryland, College Park. As a senior, she was named Queen of the May during a May Day celebration and was listed in Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities.
"The sun shone through the clouds for her as she proceeded to her throne on the campus mall, attended by the princesses of her court," said The Baltimore Sun's 1957 story about her crowning. The Terrapin yearbook said she was chosen for the honor because of her "scholarship, citizenship and service to the University."
The Sun's account said she "showed her subjects a dimpled, winning smile and moved among them with ease and assurance." Musicians played "Pomp and Circumstance" during the ceremony, which was also attended by ushers and an honor guard.
Family members said that Mrs. Spurrier helped pay her academic expenses by serving as a hostess at the old McCormick headquarters on Light Street in downtown Baltimore. She dressed in 18th-century-style gowns and served tea at its Colonial tea house, a life-size display used to promote the firm's products.
She also worked on the White House staff during the Eisenhower administration and at the old Baltimore Federal Savings and Loan Association, also in downtown Baltimore.
For many years, she was a secretary for attorney George W. Baker and later was an executive secretary for radio station owner Thomas Tinsley. Among her duties was the supervision of his private, walled garden on Baltimore Avenue in downtown Towson, which was open one day a year.
Mrs. Spurrier was a past president of and belonged to the English-Speaking Union Garden Club and regularly officiated at teas and gatherings. She was a member of the Bykota Senior Club, where she did aerobics.
Mrs. Spurrier raised five sons.
"She was the drill sergeant and the disciplinarian," said a son, Stephen M. Spurrier of Towson. "I addressed my Mother's Day cards 'to the commander.' She directed us to get jobs as teenagers and she instilled in us the value of work and responsibility. She didn't let us sit around. She said, 'Do something.'"
She was an ardent patriot and led her family on annual vacations to Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Mount Vernon in Virginia, the Washington Monument and New York City.
"She also valued our education and worked for us to attend good schools," said another son, Kurt R. Spurrier of Bethesda. "She also loved travel and adventure. She had a positive personality. She was excited to get in a hot-air balloon and tour Sedona, Arizona."
She was a enthusiastic duckpin bowler and competed weekly at the Stoneleigh Lanes near her home. She posted her scores on a bulletin board in her kitchen and celebrated her 80th birthday at the lanes. Family members said she called out and danced when she made a strike.
"She wanted us to take advantage of everything that life offered," said another son, Craig J. Spurrier of Towson.
She was a devoted Orioles fan and attended games at the old Memorial Stadium and during this past season at Oriole Park. Family members said she was a follower of third baseman Manny Machado. Her son took her to a game on the player's birthday and arranged for seats near third base. She made homemade congratulatory birthday signs and required her family to hold them. She also put words to a song, "My Manny."
Mrs. Spurrier was an accomplished piano player and accompanied her grandchildren at family Christmas and Easter gatherings and birthdays. She read biographies and novels and belonged to a book club.
A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at St. Pius X Church, 6248 York Road, where she had been active for many years.
In addition to her sons, survivors include two other sons, Stuart T. Spurrier of Kitty Hawk, N.C., and Kevin D. Spurrier of Clarksville; a brother, Robert Adams of Charlotte, N.C.; and seven grandchildren. Her husband of 35 years, George R. Spurrier, a Bethlehem Steel foreman, died in 1995.

The city says the owner of a sober home on Water Street is leaving officials in the dark as to what he is doing, but the home's owner and manager say local regulations do not apply to sober homes.
Health Agent Stephen Curry said officials really do not know how many sober homes are operating in the city.
Mr. Curry says he knows of at least a couple, including one on Fisher Road that has received numerous complaints whose owner plans to open another one on the same street.
Once more than five unrelated people live in a single family home, Mr. Curry said, it is classified as a lodging house, and the owner must apply for a license from the license commission to run it legally. Building Commissioner Robert Lanciani said a lodging house designation means the home must comply with state building codes, including a sprinkler system and fire alarms and a certain number of egresses depending on the layout of the home.
"With a change of use, the building code requires that they have to be sprinkled," Mr. Lanciani said.
Mr. Curry said health inspectors were not allowed in the Water Street sober house a few weeks ago, so the city has no idea what they are doing.
"We received a complaint about an illegal lodging house, and inspectors knocked on the door, but did not get in," Mr. Curry said. "We don't know its use, and that is why we were there. It seems they have something to hide by not letting us in and leaving us in the dark. I would advise him to work it out with us."
However, Jeffrey Summers, director of the nonprofit Jeffrey's House that owns the sober house, said he has left several voicemails for health inspectors. Moreover, Mr. Summers said the city is in violation of the federal disability act and state laws for trying to place stricter housing code regulations on sober homes than they do other homes in the city.
"Sober housing automatically falls under ADA — federal legislation supersedes state law," Mr. Summers said. "Under ADA we are totally within our rights to operate a sober home. The inspector said we would need sprinklers, but under ADA that would be a violation on the city's part. You can't make special laws for people in this situation. They would have to say all single-family homes in the city have to have sprinklers."
According to a report released by the Department of Public Health in May, the state is virtually powerless to impose rules or regulations on sober homes.
Federal disability and housing laws classify substance abusers as disabled citizens who are protected under ADA, the report says, and any group housing to accommodate them cannot be subject to additional regulations that do not apply to other typical residents.
The report does recommend an indirect form of regulation that provides incentives to sober home operators if they voluntarily undergo state-approved training. Once they go through the training, they would receive housing referrals from the courts and probation and parole agencies, the report says.
Mr. Summers, who is also licensed as a real estate broker and construction supervisor and is running several other successful sober houses in the sate, said he plans to undergo the training.
A large number of people who use sober homes are defendants and inmates with addiction problems who are leaving the state system and need a place to live, he said, because they have exhausted all of their other resources, such as family and friends.
Additionally, his housing manager, Sean J. Harrington, has experience running eight other sober homes in the Boston area and now oversees the five-bedroom sober home on Water Street around the clock.
"I definitely want to do this correctly, and I'm taking no shortcuts," Mr. Summers said. "If someone comes up dirty, they have to go. That is the only kind of policing to keep someone in line."
If the city tries to enforce housing codes for lodging houses on sober houses, he said, they would be forced to shut down. Starting around $30,000 for sprinkler installation, it is too cost-prohibitive, he said, and said he feels the city is using it as a deterrent. He said he has already put thousands into renovating the home, which was abandoned after foreclosure and vandalized before he bought it.
"I guarantee not a single family home in Fitchburg has a sprinkler system," he said. "No one is going to do that. They say that because they know they won't. It is not cost-effective, and there is a need for professionally run sober houses."
Mr. Harrington said all residents are required to undergo drug testing by an outside agency that comes into the home three times a week, and he also conducts periodic checks himself. They also provide residents with tools for job training or money to get a job through federal grants. Those who are looking for work are required to contribute to the home through shoveling, mowing the lawn or other chores.

Belmont University Achieves Smarter Fuel Savings with CREST Condensing Boiler
Belmont University Achieves Smarter Fuel Savings with CREST Condensing Boiler
Belmont University continues to demonstrate its commitment to increasing environmental sustainability on campus.
Since launching the "Belmont Goes Green" program in March 2007, the Nashville university has implemented numerous eco-friendly initiatives, including recycling programs, bottled water bans, composting efforts, reduced electricity usage and many more. In addition, the university is also employing green building products and techniques for new construction and energy retrofit projects.
One example of Belmont University's commitment to sustainability is the recent efficiency upgrade to the boiler system at the Lila D. Bunch Library. The Belmont facility management team, led by director of facilities Fred Thompson, was interested in installing a new, more efficient boiler to replace the existing 50 horsepower model.
Thompson reached out to Precision Mechanical & Controls, LLC. (PMC), based in Smyrna, TN, to discuss the project and determine the appropriate boiler model for the library's needs. Upon learning about Lochinvar's introduction of the CREST® Condensing Boiler from Victor Rush of PMC, Thompson and his team agreed with the recommendation to install the new CREST Boiler, which offers thermal efficiencies as high as 99 percent.
Not only was the Belmont team impressed with the efficiency, innovative fire tube technology and superior feature set offered with the fully modulating CREST Boiler, they also had experience with Lochinvar equipment, having previously installed several high-efficiency boilers and water heaters from the local manufacturer in other buildings on campus.
A Textbook Installation
In September 2010, Rush and the PMC team installed a 3 million Btu/hr CREST Boiler in the library. They chose to install the unit in a full-flow piping arrangement as the condensing CREST is capable of tolerating water of varying temperatures and flow rates.
The installation was designed to take advantage of CREST's outdoor reset functionality, one of the many features offered with its exclusive SMART TOUCH™ operating control. Since outdoor reset adjusts the heating system water temperature based on the outdoor air temperature, it allows for decreased fuel consumption and increased consistent comfort.
In addition to outdoor reset, the advanced SMART TOUCH control is loaded with superior features and benefits that provide ease of installation, operation and data retrieval. From its built-in cascading sequencer to the on-board MODBUS protocol, the sophisticated SMART TOUCH technology is easily controlled and monitored via the eight-inch, multi-color touchscreen display.
The Crest's venting flexibility made all the difference for this retro-fit. Since the existing boiler was not removed, an additional vent termination was needed. After examining all the options, it was determined that a horizontal sidewall termination would best fit the venting requirements. The final venting distance equaled approximately 75 feet -- well within the 100 equivalent feet maximum allowed.
Making the Grade to Green
Since the installation of the CREST Condensing Boiler at the Lila D. Bunch Library, the Belmont facilities team has seen an average monthly fuel savings of 24.5 percent.
"We've seen a tremendous increase in efficiency with the CREST Boiler,"
stated Thompson.
"As we continue to take steps towards improving the environmental sustainability of Belmont's campus, we look forward to working with Lochinvar on future installations."
"The installation went very smoothly, and we're really impressed with the performance of CREST,"
said Rush.
"The SMART TOUCH operating control has been easy to use for the PMC technicians as well as Belmont's maintenance personnel, and everyone comments on how much they like the look of the boiler."

WASHINGTON — Federal regulators say they've granted the first permission for commercial drone flights over land.
The Federal Aviation Administration has given approval to energy corporation BP and unmanned aircraft manufacturers AeroVironment to conduct aerial surveys of pipelines, roads and equipment at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. The first flight, by a Puma drone, took place Sunday.
Made by AeroVironment, the Puma is a small, hand-launched craft about 4 1/2 feet long with a 9-foot wingspan.
The FAA had approved the use of the Puma and the ScanEagle drone, made by a Boeing subsidiary, over the Arctic Ocean last summer.
Last week, the agency said it's considering giving permission to seven filmmaking companies to use drones, a potentially significant step that could lead to greater relaxation of the agency's ban on commercial drone use.

A federal watchdog told lawmakers Friday that six women who met with U.S. Secret Service employees in Colombia in April were paid for sex and that other Defense Department and White House staff might also have been involved.
In a letter to House and Senate committees, Edwards said that 13 agency staffers "had personal encounters" with women at two Cartagena hotels and a private residence after meeting them at nightclubs in mid-April. Three of the women left without asking for money, five asked for money and were paid, four were refused payment and one woman was paid only after she summoned a Colombian police officer and was later paid by another Secret Service employee, according to investigators.
The dispute that unfolded in the early hours of April 12 exposed the misconduct to local authorities and set off one of the most embarrassing episodes in Secret Service history — just hours before President Obama arrived in Cartagena for the Summit of the Americas.
Eight Secret Service employees, including two senior supervisors, eventually lost their jobs; three were later cleared of serious misconduct; and at least two are fighting to be reinstated.
Seven Army soldiers and two Marines were also implicated in the scandal and received administrative punishments. Three of those personnel requested courts martial.
Allaying one of the primary concerns of lawmakers, Edwards said that he found no evidence that the misconduct "compromised the safety and security of the president or any sensitive information."
But a hotel registry reviewed by investigators suggested that two other U.S. government employees — working for the Defense Department and White House Communication Agency — also might have met with foreign nationals, Edwards said. Investigators did not pursue the individuals because the Homeland Security inspector general lacks the authority to investigate non-DHS personnel.
In late April, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said that a White House counsel internal investigation had found no misconduct by White House staffers or the advance team.
But Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), one of several lawmakers who requested the probe, said the inconclusiveness surrounding possible White House involvement still troubles her.
"The White House explicitly denied any involvement after its own investigation, and now the IG is questioning that account," Collins said Friday. "This raises concerns about the credibility of the White House investigation."
Edwards said his investigation included interviews with 251 Secret Service employees and a review of travel records, hotel registries and U.S. Embassy cables. He launched the probe at the request of lawmakers in late May.
Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan said the agency had no initial comment on the investigation.

When you drove to watch fireworks this weekend and every parking space for blocks was taken, think about how much easier everything would have been if this concept were a reality. It's the Multiplier — a mobile, modular parking structure.
[gallery XXXXXXX]
Multiplier is the work of Art Center College student Julien Bilodeau and it's meant to solve, or at least relieve some of the pain associated with parking during very large public events. In essence, it's just a trailer, the crazy looking semi-tractor is superfluous in the grand scheme of things, but that trailer is designed to double on-site parking for a given area. It's a simple enough idea, design modular trailers which can be linked together to create a stacked superstructure cars can park on. It may be a bit tricky getting in the door, and we're always nervous in parking structures of other knuckleheads dinging our doors in tight spaces anyway, but this is a pretty slick idea nonetheless.

Raporlite - The World's Brightest Tactical Flashlight
A tactical flashlight could be your most effective weapon when it comes to self-defense. If you're under attack, you don't want to hesitate for a second and by using the world's brightest tactical light you ensure you can identify the assailant immediately and take appropriate action.
Raptorlite is no ordinary flashlight. Our tactical flashlights are used by law enforcement officers and military personnel who need to use the brightest lights available on their weapons. A gun with a mounted Raptorlite allows the user to see their target clearly, even in the darkest conditions, and aim with complete accuracy.
Using a handgun in low light can be a recipe for disaster. Not only are you likely to miss your intended target, but you are also at risk of injuring anyone who may wander in front of your path if you cannot see clearly. The best tactical flashlights light up the area like daylight so you can see exactly what your gun is pointing at.
A tactical flashlight – your first line of defense
But Raptorlite tactical flashlights don't have to be mounted to a gun in order to be a great tool for self-defense. Attackers generally don't like to be seen and just shining this super bright light at them may be enough to deter opportunistic attacks.
If you're planning to be out in an area that is not well lit, it makes sense to carry one of our compact LED flashlights with you. We've all been in situations where we feel unsafe walking in the street at night and for good reason – most attacks happen under cover of darkness. You have less chance of being mugged if there are no shadowy areas for attackers to lurk in and as the world's brightest tactical flashlight, Raptorlite can illuminate half a mile in front of you.
Another simple but effective function of the Raptorlite tactical light is its ability to dazzle would-be attackers. As your first line of defense, shining this insanely bright light into the assailant's eyes will disorient them and cause them to lose their vision for a few seconds, allowing you to escape or raise the alarm.
If it comes to it, you can also use our tactical flashlights as a weapon if you are attacked and have no other method of self-defense. The aggressive attack bezel can be used to strike an attacker in the face before he can make advances.
What is the best tactical flashlight?
Our flashlights are compact, making them easy to carry on your person. They're also rechargeable so there is no risk of running out of batteries, rendering your flashlight useless. As the world's brightest tactical flashlight, the Raptorlite is three times brighter than the nearest competitor and also the best value, at a price you'll find hard to believe.
When it comes to your safety, there is really no excuse to settle for anything less than the best. By choosing a Raptorlite tactical LED flashlight, you can have peace of mind knowing that you are fully prepared in case of attack.

Many budget or discount airlines have different fare charges on their website than what you will pay if you contact the call centre to make a booking.
Sometimes the call centre fare is significantly greater than the fare cost on the airline's website. This might not normally be a problem - people can choose to book online, or for those that aren't able, have someone else do it for them.
However, problems can occur when there may be higher call centre fare for flights. If someone is unable to access the Internet or has some disability that means they can only book through the call centre, higher fares might apply.
Worse still, if you have a current booking and need to make a change but cant do so through the Internet, there may be an extra charge when amending through a call centre. In addition to paying a higher charge than online as a process fee to change your flight, there may be a charge to make up the difference of a higher priced fare.
While it is often relatively easy to change a flight online, thus avoiding this problem for most users, there might be people who get caught out.
What has been your experience of using the Jetstar call centre or website to book flights?
Were you given all available information on prices when booking or changing a flight?

President Obama stressed patience Wednesday with his administration's foreign policy, saying that it's alive and well but will take some time to unfold.
"We live in a complex world and at a challenging time," Mr. Obama said during a late afternoon press conference in the White House press briefing room. "None of these challenges lend themselves to quick or easy solutions, but all of them require American leadership. And as commander in chief, I'm confident that, if we stay patient and determined, that we will, in fact, meet these challenges."
Obama has said repeatedly that a world in turmoil demands American leadership, but this burst of new challenges is showing the limits of that leadership.
Fresh American economic sanctions on Russia couldn't stop the missile attack on the Malaysian Airlines plane, which U.S. officials believe was carried out by pro-Kremlin separatists aided by Moscow. Obama was also unable to persuade the European Union to join him in penalties aimed at Russia's most powerful economic sectors, settling instead for more tepid EU actions that strained efforts to portray a united Western front against Vladimir Putin's government.
In the Middle East, Israel began its assault in Gaza despite objections by the U.S. and the prospect of mounting civilian casualties.
The urgent international issues add to the pile of foreign policy challenges already causing headaches for the White House: Syria's persistent civil war, the rise of Sunni extremists in Iraq, China's increased aggression in territorial disputes in Asia.
Could things get any worse? Well, maybe if the president's chief spokesman claimed that Obama was bringing "tranquility" to the globe — which is what White House press secretary Josh Earnest did at his daily briefing Monday afternoon.
Fox News's Ed Henry, citing the Journal report, asked for a reaction to "the notion that the president is a bystander in all these crises."
Earnest, mentioning the disposal of Syria's chemical weapons, Secretary of State John Kerry's mediation of Afghanistan's electoral dispute and progress in recent negotiations with China, argued that "there have been a number of situations in which you've seen this administration intervene in a meaningful way that has . . . substantially improved the — you know, the tranquility of the — of the global community."
Tranquility? Where, in Iceland?
Why has so much of the global order come apart so fast?
For the same reason that, as a friend reports, on the streets of San Salvador those who will smuggle your child to the Rio Grande have been securing an unprecedented volume of sign-ups. When asked about the chances of the child staying in America once the border is crossed, they tell parents: 'It has never been easier.'
Now the word on weakness is everywhere, even the poorest barrios of Central America…
The current White House doesn't understand how US fecklessness in Syria can reverberate to Ukraine, and from there to the South China Sea, and the Americas, and Gaza and elsewhere in the Middle East…
It is not just American interests that a flailing White House threatens. It is that of peoples everywhere.
The United States has a position of sorts in each of these arenas, but it's not powerful in any of them. American influence has faded.
The world's governments no longer worry as much as they once did about what Washington wants, partly because Washington doesn't know what it wants. U.S. policy has become erratic and half-hearted, subject to arbitrary change without notice.
Barack Obama, who apparently distrusts American power, personifies this approach. He moves capriciously from subject to subject. One week he's furious about Syria and announces that Bashar al-Assad has to go. When Assad doesn't go, Obama loses interest. He seems always to be making a fresh start. When he's not doing that, he's "pivoting," shifting his interest from one continent to another. He seems detached much of the time, then committed, then detached again.
His policies have been alternatively passive (Libya, Egypt), incoherent (Russian reset) and feckless (Syria). But the fact that the current U.S. economic recovery is the slowest in post-WWII history — spanning 70 years — is surely a key factor in Vladimir Putin's adventurism.
This brings us back to Reagan's link. Putin may recognize that Russia's economy is a thin deck of cards. But he surely doesn't fear the weak American economic position. Ditto for the broken economic dictatorships in North Korea, Iran and Venezuela, and the rising economic dictatorship in China. They don't fear us.
In fact, America's economic weakness is so worrisome, one suspects our friends are losing respect for us, too. Whether in Europe, Asia, Latin America or Israel, our allies know that America has been the backstop for freedom. If not us, who?
But can they say that now?
From his perch in the amazingly Obama-centric world in which our President lives, look again at what the rest of us think of as serious problems.
Have any of the 1,000-plus Hamas rockets been aimed at Obama? No. That is why Obama is tranquil.
Have any of the thousands who are crossing the border tried to move into the White House? No. That is why Obama is tranquil.
Is ISIS an immediate threat to the United States that is likely to blow up the next golf course the President is playing at? No. That is why Obama is tranquil.
If you can reduce your presidency to a Starbucks visit, a man with a horse-head mask, shooting pool and visiting Joe Biden's burger joint for lunch, you can have a successful presidency as you have defined it, even if the world is disintegrating.
If the world were a classroom, America is the star quarterback who's also the 4.0 class president. He's not the back-row stoner riding an endless case of senioritis. He's the kid who gets others involved, by going first. Always going first.
If you want to prevent a fight, you show up with your mates. Strength in numbers, as the saying goes. We're the only country who can get everyone together, and put on the same jackets, and show up in that alley, ready to do what's necessary. Which is whatever it takes to guarantee respect for the dead and justice for their families.
But if we don't get up early, make the calls, and show up, no one else will. And what you're left with is a field of death, whose stench might never reach your nostrils. Until it does.
The world can go away and sort out its own problems while America cuts back on defence spending, removes missile shields from Eastern Europe (in spite of the rise of imperial Russia), and "pivots" toward Asia largely for trade purposes. Not that that direction is unproblematic either: China is becoming increasingly aggressive toward Japan. Indeed, this is the geopolitical picture as we see it now: with the wilful decline of the West's influence, the new superpowers – Russia and China – will fill the vacuum. China will become an economic and military force that could subjugate much of Asia, with inevitable consequences for the financial security of the West. Russia will lay claim to as much of the old Soviet territory as it dares, and will deal with Islamist terrorism (because it has its own concerns about Chechnya and the Muslim minorities within its sphere of influence) in its characteristic way – and it won't be pretty.
At his White House press conference on Friday, Mr Obama had it both ways: he made it repeatedly clear that the US regarded Russia as implicated in this "criminal outrage". But his demands were all for a "credible international investigation". Over and over again he insisted that we "don't know what exactly happened yet". When asked if this event had changed his calculus on Russia's actions in Ukraine, he said it again: it was too soon to decide. We would have to wait for the results of the investigation. ("All of us need to take a step back and see what's happened.") The US would continue to support Ukraine's integrity and independence. But we mustn't get ahead of the facts: "We've got to get to the bottom of this thing."
All right, so when we have the facts, and we've got to the bottom of this thing, what then?

WORCESTER, Mass. – No. 5 MIT withstood a late rally by Clark University to win, 63-60, in overtime in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) men's basketball play on Saturday afternoon. With the win, the Engineers improve to 10-1 in the conference and secure their second NEWMAC regular season title in three years. Tech's 22nd victory in 23 games this season ensures that it will host the conference semifinals and championship in two weeks.
The Cardinal and Gray outscored the host Cougars, 11-8, in the extra session to hold on after allowing Clark to come back from as many as 14-down in the second half. Clark, meanwhile, drops its second straight overtime game this week to slip to 10-12 overall and 3-7 in league play.
Junior Mitchell Kates (Colts Neck, N.J.) once again led MIT with 16 points to go along with five assists. Senior Billy Bender (The Woodlands, Texas) had 12 points including a key overtime three-pointer. Freshman Andrew Acker (Merion Station, Pa.) came up big off the bench for the Cardinal and Gray with 11 points.
Bender's three with 16:30 to play gave MIT a 33-19 lead, its largest of the afternoon. Clark slowly chipped away at the margin, getting within four, at 37-33, but Kates scored four straight points and senior Daniel McCue (Hampden, Maine) knocked down a three-ball to push the advantage back to double figures.
Another Kates' layup at the 6:35 mark put Tech ahead by 11 but Clark would outscore the Engineers, 12-2, over the next 4:49, capped by Mitch Renshaw's (Rutland, Mass.) three-pointer to make it 50-49 with 1:46 to play. The teams exchanged baskets on the next two possessions before D.J. Bailey (Palmer, Mass.) made the second of two free throws to tie things at 52 with 32 seconds left. Neither team could convert at the end of regulation, sending the game into the extra session.
Senior Noel Hollingsworth (Salt Lake City, Utah) opened the extra session with a layup and Renshaw responded with a jumper at the other end to tie the game at 54. Hollingsworth then found Bender, who knocked down a huge shot from long range, and Kates' steal and layup put the Cardinal and Gray on top by five. Clark would get back within one, thanks to a pair of trifectas by Travis Curley (Trumbull, Conn.), but the Engineers made free throws down the stretch to hold on for their first overtime victory of the season.
Tech held a 41-31 advantage on the boards, led by junior Will Tashman (Atherton, Calif.) with 13 caroms, and outscored the Cougars, 28-20, in points in the paint.
MIT will return to Worcester for its final game of the regular season on Wednesday, February 15, facing WPI at 7:00 p.m.

Reflections on Rise of Social Commerce #rsc10
Here are some my takeaways from the Altimeter Group's first event, The Rise of Social Commerce in Palo Alto. Before discussing the presentations, I have a few personal reflections. Face time is so critical. Having conversations with like-minded peers is empowering, validating and challenging all at once. Having the opportunity to directly say out loud "thanks for the retweet" with a smile rather than a :), gave me particular pleasure. The quality of participants and the genuine passion for the subject of the new social paradigm was impressive. It was a pleasure meeting you all. I look forward to continuing the conversation. So now to the presentation takeaways (slides and agenda here): Read More

A tale of heroism in the fight against Illinois corruption
Who among us would have thought of the little east central Illinois town of Paris as a major location for drug dealing and criminal activity? It is hard to believe Paris, Ill., is the site of the national Mafia Pizza Connection Case, in which Rudy Giuliani prosecuted Paris resident Joe Vitale and others. Paris is a place where numerous unsolved murders and suspicious arsons seem to be commonplace.
Yet Paris is where the story begins that leads former Illinois State Police (ISP) investigator Michale Callahan to write his book, "Since When is Murder Too Politically Sensitive?" The opening scene is the 1986 murder of Dyke and Karen Rhoads in the middle of the night in their Paris house. The police eventually focus on local men Randy Steidl and Herbert Whitlock. Both are convicted in 1987 primarily on the testimony of an individual known as the "town drunk" and a woman known to be "a schizophrenic, alcoholic, drug addict." Steidl's death penalty sentence results in his case gaining the greatest publicity, and over the next 20 years it becomes one of Illinois' most noteworthy wrongful convictions.
Little did an ISP commander of investigations, Michale Callahan, know that the results of the Steidl/Whitlock convictions would shape his entire career as he looked at their cases. He became convinced after an examination of the convictions and accompanying evidence that the case was badly flawed, that the convictions were unwarranted, and the investigation of other prominent suspects was necessary to yield justice. Much of his assessment was based on information generated by Bill Clutter, a private investigator and director of investigations for the Downstate Illinois Innocence Project. Callahan approached his ISP superiors and requested that he be allowed to reopen the investigation, but was told that to do so was "too politically sensitive." Thus arose the title of the book he will unveil on Monday, May 18, at a reception of the Downstate Illinois Innocence Project.
In language sometimes reflecting his anger and angst, Callahan writes about the retaliation against him for wanting to reopen the investigation and the psychological and social pain that he and his family endured in the aftermath. While the Steidl case is a central event, it is Callahan's narrative of retribution and corruption that drives the detailed story in the book. Recounting the corruption that he first encounters by the Paris police, state's attorney, and local judges, Callahan describes a system of power and money that shape judgments in the approach to crime and punishment. Callahan describes the Illinois State Police command as having become politicized under George Ryan, with the ISP director and other high-level officers tied to recently indicted power broker Bill Cellini. He alleges that corruption continued with Ryan, whose decision not to pardon Steidl and Whitlock in 2003, Callahan contends, was based on influence by ISP resistance and monetary contributions made to Ryan led by a prominent Paris businessman, the state's attorney and even the judge in the Steidl case.
Callahan's story remains without an ending at this point. He was driven out of the ISP for pressing the reinvestigation. He is fighting to change that and won a court judgment that the ISP violated his rights. Yet, in 2008 that decision was overturned by the Federal Court of Appeals. He is presently appealing that decision to the United States Supreme Court.
We are used to hearing about criminal cases gone awry, occasional police misconduct, or mistakes by lawyers. What sets this story apart is the corruption running from the local community to the highest levels of state government. The book is compelling because few law enforcement officers are willing to suffer the consequences of telling the whole story, including little known interactions within the police bureaucracy. Callahan is one of those rare individuals who is fighting the corruption, who is going public in his attempt to remedy the problem, and who is continuing to bear the social, economic and personal consequences of the courage of his convictions.
Larry Golden is an Emeritus Professor of Political Studies and Legal Studies at the University of Illinois at Springfield. He is also a director of the Downstate Illinois Innocence Project and participated in the exoneration of Herbert Whitlock. He can be reached at email@example.com.
Michale Callahan will be selling and signing his book for the first time at a reception held by the Downstate Illinois Innocence Project on Monday, May 18, at the Governor's Mansion between 5-7 p.m. Reservations may be made by calling 206-7989.
