Head coach George Husack, on Saturday's matches: "Today was a good day for us. We had a lot of competitive matches that will teach us a lot in the long run. The guys are really hanging in every match and putting forth a great effort."
Husack, on close matches: "Playing matches really shows the competiveness of players and Tommy, Jay and Blane have really shown that they are ready to play. They have just out-competed their opponents and that is what we have been preaching every day in practice."
Sophomore Aneal Vallurupalli, on today's win: "Yesterday I had two match points and I lost them both and the match. Today I just refused to lose and I was able to win two tough tiebreaks. Losing yesterday motivated me today and will keep motivating me every time I am in a close match."
Vallurupalli, on preseason: "We had a great preseason. It was just what we needed as a team and it has definitely helped us this weekend both physically and mentally."
Freshman Jay Wong, on advancing to semifinals: "Coming in to the tournament I was a little nervous, but as I started playing I forgot my nerves and just focused on my tennis. Every match has given me more confidence so I am just going to keep playing my game and see what happens."
Wong on team's support: "We have a very supportive group here. I definitely could not have won tonight without the team out there yelling and encouraging me. College tennis has been fun so far and the matches have a great atmosphere."
Sophomore Tommy Hicks, on another long match: "Today was one of the longest matches of my life. I was able to pull out the first set and I got up on him in the second and had some match points. I couldn't put him away though and we were both cramping so it was just a matter of will. I just hung tough and found a way to get through it again. Winning another tough match like this is huge for my confidence."
Hicks, looking ahead to semifinals: "I am just going to wake up tomorrow and stretch well and get some heat on my muscles. I have to keep taking the short balls and moving in on them. If I do that and stay mentally tough, I think that I will continue to have success."

Delaware (Ohio)
Delaware [1] is in Mid-Ohio and is a small, quaint town in the Columbus region of Mid-Ohio. Delaware is home to the liberal Ohio Wesleyan University. It is the birthplace of Rutherford B. Hayes, the 19th President of the United States of America. His Presidential Library and home is located in Fremont, Ohio.
Get in[edit]
Greyhound buses offer service between Delaware and Columbus (30 minutes).
Get around[edit]
By plane[edit]
By bus[edit]
As Delaware is largely a college town, bus service by DATA Bus(Delaware Area Transit Agency) is frequent and runs relatively late.
By car[edit]
Parking is easy in most parts of Delaware. Parking lots are rarely full but parking on the street can be tricky. Meter parking is widely available.Downtown street parking is metered and somewhat more difficult to come by, although there are always spots available if you're willing to walk.
Parking on the Ohio Wesleyan University campus is the trickiest of all parking tasks in Delaware. In fact, if you can get to Wesleyan by a method other than car, then that method is recommended. Bus service onto campus from downtown and other areas of Delaware runs very frequently during the day. If you have to park on campus during the day, you will need to get a visitor parking permit from the Department of Public Safety on campus, and then you can park in a spot labeled for visitor parking, which are very few and far between. The public safety officer can give you a map showing where visitor parking spots are, but during a school day, expect to hunt through all of them and not find anything.
By taxi[edit]
Taxi service is available by phone, but expect to wait up to an hour or more on busy or cold nights.

Music to you is just a chance to have fun and just play. After the show you like to party hard and drink withthe guys. You are not afraid to be in the spotlight. Heavy music is where its at. You find that nothing cures a hangover like more alcohol.

It doesn't matter what technical universe they're from, they're the same emo-angsty characters as Superboy Prime.
by Punchy » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:54 pm
And our Invincible isn't emo-angsty?
by ****** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:55 pm
If he posted a link probably, but I don't remember it.
by ****** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:57 pm
Only a tolerable amount... of course I haven't read any Invincible since #36 so maybe things have changed.
by Punchy » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:59 pm
He's actually not as emo as he could be, compared to other teen heroes, he's positively emotionless, look at Spider-Man (original or Ultimate), Young Avengers or Teen Titans, all they do is moan and moan, Mark gets shit done.
by Bob_at_york » Thu Mar 19, 2009 3:00 pm
Robert says he wishs he could have had more room for all the other characters, including Youngblood. But isn't that just it. How shocking would it be if we are sitting here assuming she is alright and then we find out that because he never checked on her, she died.
by Daringd » Thu Mar 19, 2009 4:43 pmInvincible #60: Kirkman/Ottley Image $3.99
Last issue gave us a false sense of safety this issue took it all away. The only problem I had was that the big ass reveal in issue 58 should have come in issue 52 to make us really not expect this. Kind of a Sinestro Corps build up. But Kirkman pulled it off. Ottley brings in some amazing art best he's given us to date. All of it clicks if Kirkman keeps this up it might be book of the year.
by KING King Impulse » Thu Mar 19, 2009 4:58 pm
What could he have done to keep her alive though?
by malcolm reynolds » Thu Mar 19, 2009 4:58 pmI'll be getting this in my BOC for this month, but I was going to double dip, but I'm having a little trouble finding it. Still have a couple of days though
by McKegan » Fri Mar 20, 2009 1:38 amWas going to pass since I too read Invincible in the ultimate HCs. It's been preordered from Amazon for about a year now.
I ended up picking it up figuring it would stand-alone well enough. And it did, for the most part.
It was great to see the return of Langstrom, and the parallel Marks, but the story itself was a bit flimsy. The appearance of other Image 'icons' does add to the scope of the story but that's about it. Since I'm so far behind what's been going on that I didn't always understand how the supporting characters had changed and that probable blunted the impact ofntheirnseperate fates. In the end, the story was just a bunch of fisticuffs with a few cool moments (Rex's sacrifice) but little in the way of character.
The art was awesome as always. Some of the inking rendered the faces strangely but the coloring was amazing. Why can't all super hero comics look this great.
Story: 6
Over-all: 7.5
by guitarsmashley » Fri Mar 20, 2009 2:46 pmSo any more weighing in before I make my decision about next week?
by ****** » Fri Mar 20, 2009 2:53 pm
I think we done weighed. Now pick something I'm reading in trades already, I know you want to.
by Flynn the Pirate » Fri Mar 20, 2009 3:05 pmI've never read Invincible before. Or rather, not really read. I think I perused the first trade back in the day, but since I don't remember being all that impressed, I didn't stick with it. I say that to say that I am going to try reviewing this issue with only the barest of backgrounds in Invincible's story.
In theory, the plot by Angstrom (I think that's his name, since I don't have the book sitting in front of me) of picking up different versions of the title character to sick on the rest of the world is a good one. And I like the idea of an Image superhero crossover to deal with the problem - if for no other reason than my favorite comic book right now (Dynamo5) would get to be included. But this didn't feel like a crossover. This felt, to me, like a bunch of snapshots or clips. It didn't feel like "the crossover of the decade", perhaps because there were a lot of characters I didn't know, but also because it didn't feel like the sort of thing that every superhero in the Image universe had to get in on. Which is a shame, because again, the plot was such that it seemed to necessitate it.
Of course, the reason for this was squeezing it all into one giant issue. Again, it sounds like a nice idea and it definitely has a really nifty pitch, but in the end there was just way, way, WAY too much going on and way too many characters for one issue to do any justice to. Heck, it even seemed like Invincible himself became a supporting cast-member in his own book.
The artwork was fantastic though. I really did like the bright colors, as opposed to the various hues of gunmetal or dirt that so many comics like to use today. Ottley and Plascencia definitely won me over as a fan on that front.
I would love to have seen this actually play out. I would probably have even picked up some of the other titles if this had played out like an actual crossover event. And maybe my lack of exposure to Invincible is getting in the way of me giving this book high honors.
5 out of 10 for Invincible #60 - not too bad, not too good, but at least it was something...

Hell Boardriders a new brand based in New Zealand.
We are running a CrowdFunding push this month to raise our profile and make a few pre sales of 2013 gear.
How it works is, riders can pledge some cash towards the project.
If we hit our funding goal, pledges be charged to credit cards and the rewards dished out.
If not, nobody's card is charged and no rewards are shipped.
Hotter the Hell's Kitchen, ...cooler than Hell's Angels.
Hell Boardriders is a fresh new face in the industry, it's definitely not mainstream.
Hope you guys like it, and can help us gain exposure.
Regards Lee

The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Christopher Plummer's Yackin'
Wow, I did not realize what an ornery old man Christopher Plummer is. The Sound of Music is really the only movie I (and most people I think) have ever seen him in, much to his dismay, I'm sure. I knew there was some weirdness between him and that movie, but I finally got the chance to listen to him begrudgingly recall his experience on the Sound of Music Two-Disc 40th Anniversary Special Edition DVD audio commentary. This is not to say that he isn't wildly entertaining.
My friend recently purchased this DVD and we've been looking forward to listening to the commentary on it for awhile. It wasn't quite as amazing as it could have been...it wasn't like they were all sitting together watching the movie and talking. That's the best kind. But basically Julie Andrews talked most, and they broke in with comments from the others (Christopher Plummer, Charmian Carr who played Liesl, and the choreographer) during their scenes. This is what I learned (all of these were actually said or at least heavily insinuated by the various commentary...ers):
- Christopher Plummer hates kids. He hates them because they steal his thunder, being so darn cute and all.
- Julie Andrews feels somewhat the same way about the kids but has the tact to not actually say it.
- Christopher Plummer likes booze.
- Christopher Plummer plays the piano, but cannot sing or play guitar.
- Austria is cold and wet.
- Christopher Plummer is a huge pain in everyone's butt. Strangely, they all seemed to at least mildly enjoy working with him. Unless they're just being polite, which is likely.
- Christopher Plummer thought Eleanor Parker (The Baroness) was pretty hot and he kind of wanted to dump Maria for her.
- Charmian Carr is pretty sure that when they shot the scene with the Captain coming in to sing The Sound of Music with the children (after Maria and the Captain fight), the kids actually started to cry in real life because they finally thought maybe Christopher Plummer didn't hate them. In reality, he did hate them. He was just acting. He did like Charmian Carr though because she was 21 and he could give her booze.
There you have it. Now you don't even need to watch the commentary. In the end, Christopher Plummer did act like he enjoyed his experience, and he even said he ended up liking the children, though I'm not completely convinced.

Concern Over Bison in Yellowstone, President Sending 2015 Budget
- According to a USDA study using wild bison deemed free of cattle disease from Yellowstone National Park to establish new herds across the American West could be done without posing a risk to livestock.
The study is not completely allaying concerns of cattle producers however who have fought to keep the wild bison from straying outside the park.
The fear of the cattle industry in Montana is that straying buffalo will transmit brucellosis, which about half of the park's bison have been exposed to, to cows grazing near Yellowstone. That could cause the state to lose its brucellosis-free status.
- President Barack Obama is set to send his fiscal year 2015 budget request to Congress.
The proposal will outline how he would dole out more than a trillion dollars for government agency discretionary programs. The $1.014-trillion level was set by a recent budget deal.
It has been reported the request may include additional disaster assistance funding for floods, drought and wildfires including a one-billion dollar fund to help communities deal with extreme weather events.
Several committees already have plans to look over the President's budget proposal this week.

JetBlue Pilot Incident and Expected Response?
In our weekly review call for the Cisco Cyber Risk Report for March 26-April 1, 2012 we discussed the incident of the JetBlue mid-air emergency incident. The incident has been widely reported, but a short summary is that the pilot was reportedly acting irrationally, which caused the co-pilot to lock him out of the cockpit and led to the crew and passengers having to subdue him until the aircraft could be landed and authorities removed the pilot. While the investigation of this incident continues, there have also been several of these types of incidents. A review of the incident raised several security questions with us over the incident response policies and procedures.
At face value this, and most previous incidents, appear to be 'good news' stories where ordinary passengers came to the assistance of the aircrew and aided in controlling a mid-air security threat. But looking at these incidents closer and doing a talk-through exercise of this most recent scenario raises some serious security questions with the current practices. The review and talk-through identified several issues that not only apply to aircraft security, but can also apply to other incidents where private individuals, as opposed to trained emergency response personnel, are in a position or volunteer to assist in responding and subduing a threat.
Private individuals, again as opposed to trained emergency response personnel, may often be called upon or volunteer in critical situations to assist authorities. But these are generally the exceptions, and not the rule. In the case of aircraft security, aboard an aircraft in flight, there have been repeated cases where it was necessary for private individual passengers to assist the aircrew because the aircrew or aircraft lacked the security measures necessary to respond to a threat. The question is: has the incident response plan now become based on an expectation of assistance from private, individual passengers? Are the private, individual passengers now expected or required to assist the aircrew to protect themselves, the aircraft, and other passengers? This changes the threat response scenario significantly. The response is now based on an unknown of whether private individual passengers are willing and able, and will in fact assist the aircrew.
As we continued the talk-through of this scenario, the next question was who is making the threat response decisions? In this incident the pilot, the captain and commander of the aircraft with considerable authority under these circumstances, was identified as the threat. But who decided that he was the threat and not the co-pilot, who had just taken control of the aircraft from the pilot? The pilot's irrational behavior might be interpreted as rational if his assessment of the situation was that the co-pilot was a terrorist who had just taken over the aircraft? So who is making that critical decision, and what authority or procedure do they have to make the decision? Picturing this scene reminded me of the scene from a movie where the commander of a nuclear submarine faces off against his executive officer over the decision to launch the submarines nuclear missiles. That situation was resolved because the Navy has strict protocols for firing nuclear missiles, and the chief of the boat stepped in and quoted those protocols, sided with the executive officer, and the captain was properly relieved. But, do aircraft passengers have any type of instructions, protocols, or guidance, aside from what might be provided by the crew? Is there anything to assist these everyday private individuals in making such complex and stressful threat decisions? The pre-flight briefing doesn't address a threat response at all. The closest topic covered would be if you are in an emergency exit where you are directly told of your responsibilities and must verbally affirm your acceptance to perform those tasks if needed.
Again, thankfully most of these incidents have ended positively with only minor injuries and disruptions. One point to note was that the majority of this and previous events were captured on passenger cell phone video, allowing for the review of the details of the incident, in addition to the aircraft communications, and black box monitoring. But also worth noting is that the aircraft did not have this security video capability or other possible security controls that could assist in this type of incident. The last response change to mid-air threats was putting a weapon in the cockpit, which in this most recent incident could have been tragic. And placing air marshals on flights, but the passengers on the flight don't know if there is one present and if that is the plan until the incident occurs.
So now our mid-air threat incident response plan is we have expected assistance from individuals who may or may not be willing and able to assist, are totally unprepared, briefed, or advised on how to respond to a security threat should one take place on the aircraft, accept to follow the aircrew instructions. But, in this case not the captain because he was the threat, or in a previous incident when the flight attendant giving instructions was the threat. If this sounds like an incident response "plan" for chaos and a disaster, we agreed. But, it appears that is the current security response practice we are all expected to participate in on board a commercial aircraft.
What these incidents show is that despite the serious lack of incident response plans, policies, and procedures, we have been very fortunate that these events did not end in disasters and deaths; and that by taking a closer look at your incident response plans and performing detailed reviews and exercises you can identify oversights, weaknesses, or unknowns and adjust your plans as needed through technical or physical measures prior to an actual incident. Otherwise, you too can hope that some unknown, unprepared, untrained, and possibly unresponsive measures or individuals will respond effectively and save the day.

If you are relying on the average joe as apart of an airline incident response plan I would assume you would take into account the average capabilities and motivations of the avg joe. Is it a safe bet that a passenger jet would have enough physically capable people who are also imbued with enough will-to-live to intervene in a security incident? From an enterprise information security view point what could an average joe contribute during an event?

Japan Nation of Bullies: 57% Bullied, 27% Consider Suicide
Writeup @ Sankaku (NSFW)
Now that they have proven bullying is a cycle, I wonder if they would extend the "right of self-defence" to the victims and let them burn the school down. Napalm isn't that hard to make.
Either that or have some form of suicide/euthanasia compensation law to the parents. Though I wonder if it is the avoid-trouble mentality ingrained into the kids in Asian societies that result in this kind of unnecessary destruction to the mental health of young individuals; those scars don't just fade away, self-esteem and personal confidence bleeds from those cuts, even through the later years into adulthood, until the poor guy is dry of it.

Not to mention the riots last week where Chinese mobs destroyed Japanese cars and restaurants in their own country.
Also, the island is contested, but it's still considered Japanese territory by International Law. It has been for over a century. It was temporary controlled by America after WWII, but ownership of the island was Japan's since 1895. Japanese going to the island may be sensitive, but at least it's not illegal.
This whole "OH LOOK SOME RANDOM CHINESE DYNASTY PUT IT ON ITS MAP BACK IN 14TH CENTURY SO IT'S CHINESE OWNED!" didn't even come up till the 1970s.
The Chinese didn't give crap about those uninhabitable islands till then.
Do you know why?
That's when studies showed massive amount of resources under the islands. Gas, oil, etc.
After the reveal, suddenly China started making statements about it belonging to some ancient Chinese dynasty, even though they didn't give a rats ass for eighty years.
So yeah, it's all about resource and money. Nationalistic agenda is pretty insignificant portion of the pie, for all three parties involved.
If resource wasn't an issue, I personally think Taiwan derserves the land, they being the closest to the territory... as well as having control of sea lines, and buffer from the oppressive China. But since there's oil reserve and gas invovled, all bets are off.

I'm not contesting Japanese sovereignty, nor did I miss the landing a couple of weeks back by Chinese activists either.
I don't know where oil and gas reserves lie in the northern parts of the China Sea; the Times article suggested this was more of an issue in the southern areas where there are known reserves and established parcels. I've seen a map of claims in the South China Sea, but not one for the area around the Senkakus.
So have there been test drillings, etc., to determine if there are actual petroleum reserves in the area around the Senkakus?
Frankly I don't really care how all these claims are worked out as long as it doesn't lead to a shooting war which might involve the US in a confrontation with China. Our ties to Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and the Philippines, not to mention recent importuning by Vietnam, already threaten to embroil America in a conflict in the China Sea. We have enough on our plate right now; you guys work this out among yourselves.

Regardless of there is actually oil or not, it is the reason behind the Senkaku dispute. Before UN "suggested" that there might be oil deposit in the area in early 1970s, all parties involved were less enthusiastic over the region.

in the 1970s, the US turn over the island to Japan because it was convenient at the time while dismissing both the PRC and the ROC's claim. This issue island are the fault of the US.

I would say it is more China's fault based on the reasons why it was held and why it was handed back to Japan in 1972.
Originally the islands were going to be handed over to Nationalist China following World War II as a spoils of war. But China's Civil War stepped up before the San Francisco Treaty was finished and China was not made part of it directly. Later, by the time of the Korean War, Taiwan was given a seperate treaty similar to the San Francisco Treaty to end the conflict with Japan (at that time still under Allied occupation). Mainland China was not part of the deal since by then it was communist and an enemy of the remaining Allies. The islands remained under US control. As far as the Allies are concerned there is only one official China....Nationalist China on Taiwan.
Then comes 1972. The last Japanese soldier surrenders. Nixon goes to China and opens relations with the Communists. Because of this, Taiwan "officially" is considered part of Mainland China. The time for the US occupation of the Senkaku ended, but handing it over to Taiwan would mean handing over to China, and they were still communists and they the Vietnam War was ending. The US might open relations, but they were not going to give the Chinese something that could be a problem later. So with the Japanese now fully surrendered and on the slow but steady economic recovery, the islands reverted back to Japan.
Without the division of China and its civil war, the islands would have been Chinese by 1950. But because of that war and the political ramifications of the Cold War, by the time it the islands needed to go to someone other than the United States as a caretaker...Japan got them back. There was no longer a need for a spoils of war and Japan was now an ally against Communism.

without US involvement , the Chinese Civil War would never lasted this long. It would have been over sometime in the 50s.

It's a bit more complex than that. Chiang did not accept either Senkaku nor the Ryukyus when Roosevelt offered those islands to be administered by China in a conference (I believe it was Cairo) before the end of the war. Given that the sole China of the era rejected administration of the islands, this means that technically they were to be part of Japan or however the Allies (in this case the US) saw fit. Blaming the US or Japan for what China did is blaming the wrong party.

Speaking of which, is there a Japanese response to those recent demonstrations in China? I must say there are times when I expect the Japanese people to have some anti-Chinese riots in front of the Chinese embassy about a number of things happening... just a matter of showing that Japanese people can play this game too.

|Rimfire Firearms .22, .17 and other Rimfire Handguns and Rifles
|Thread Tools

I agree too, while it would'nt be my first choice a .22 pistol or rifle would be very comforting in my hand if SHTF. I bet a lot of households have a .22 for SD. Ask yourself would you rush into a house if you knew someone inside was armed with a .22.
I have shot a few coyotes with stingers and they all died pretty quick. They usually would drop down at the shot, stumble a few yards and die. They were all shot at about 10 yards way. I was shooting them to keep them out of the barn area of the ranch I worked on. I have taught my wife to use the 10/22 for SD. When we shoot it, she knows to shoot in three round burst. She can keep all three in a fist sized pattern at 10 to 15 yards. This is better for her than the shotgun she refused to shoot. I am not going to volunteer to see how lethal this theory is.
Credo Quia Absurdum!
Please give details. Shot placement, rounds fired, number of hits etc. would be helpful for those of us that think going after a bad guy with a 10-22 is a really bad idea, regardless of the penetration issues.
Would also be nice to know which department gave you their blessing to use a 10-22 for the scenario you explained.
I work 24 hour shifts so I am gone at night a lot. Thanks to my wonderful mother in law, my 40 year old wife is still a little uncomfortable with guns. I have taught her to shoot and have plenty of "better" home defense choices on hand. Unfortunately, most are just too much gun for her comfort level. The compromise we have come to is that if someone breaks in, she locks the door, gets the .22 pistol from the gunvault bolted to the wall behind the nightstand, calls 911 and while she is on hold for 5 minutes she yells that she has a gun and is on the phone with 911. Then fires a round into a couple of pillows on the floor. It's not going to richochet off the carpet (in the upstairs bedroom), and I believe it will be enough to scare anyone away. I think it's HIGHLY unlikely that anyone will willingly come up the stairs knowing there's someone at the top with a gun that isn't afraid to use it. Is this the perfect solution? Hell no. Will it be effective? I think so. After she fires the first round she sits in the corner with the pistol pointed at the door and 911 on the phone. Anyone that comes through the door gets one to the chest (or as many as she can get off). It might not stop the coked-out-homicidal-schizophrenic axe murderer bent on a serial killing spree, but frankly I'm not too worried about that. The most likely scenario (which is still extremely unlikely in my opinion) is a quick smash and grab intruder. The best defense I have against them is a couple of big dogs. If they still come in and I am home, then I go to the 12 gauge.
Well not to double post In a thread but even without a great shot placement a 22 will kill, my uncle was murdered with one 10 years ago. A 22 will end a life the question you should be asking is will a 22 stop a threat long enough for me to get away from the threat. A 22 will take longer to stop a threat then a 44mag either by milliseconds, seconds, or minutes. How long is the fight In your heart to survive against an armed threat and how much are you willing to train. If someone who has a 45 is never willing to train are they still better off then someone with a 22 who practices gun retention, mag changes, rapid action drills , close firing, distance firing. As per personal experience a 22 will drop a man the real question is how much training should You commit to defending my life.
(Not sure but please no sorry for your loss **** happens don't dwell o. You losses but enjoy your gifts)
Please do tell us your experience about defending yourself with a 22.
I'm not even close to suggesting it can't or doesn't happen, I'm questioning given a choice, weather it's a good idea vs larger calibers.
If you are going to make a choice for a defense caliber, a 22 is a very bad idea in almost every case. The guy who spoke of his wife being perticurally noise and recoil shy, practicing with a 22 will probably de sensitize her. If you have a fear of your weapon or pulling the trigger on a human life, maybe a gun isn't a good idea. Yes people die from 22 gunshots every day, so what, if I have a choice I wouldn't even think of using it.
We all have a right to decide for ourselves. It's a very personal choice, just don't give people the impression 22's are "the right choice".
Another thing I keep seeing is putting X amount of shots into the perps 10 ring (usually more than 10 shots). What makes you think the perp is going to be standing still letting you perform such a task?

You people are high if you seriously think you'll be making accurate "eye socket" shots in a high stress situation.
I keep a 22/45 and a brick of ammo in my BOB for killing small game, in my opinion that is all it's good for.
Yes, most of us have not been unfortunate enough to have to use a gun in self defense. That's why I keep asking for particulars. PM me if you don't want to post on an open forum. I'll even give you my email address and phone number for communication if you like.
What we are talking about is effectiveness of the 22lr for defense and "choosing" it over other larger calibers.
Poachers use AK47's to kill Elephants all the time in Africa. Does this mean it's promoted as a good idea?

For experienced shooters the headings of most of the columns above are self-explanatory. For everyone else: "Caliber" is the common name of the cartridge tested; "Load" is the brand of ammunition tested; "Bullet" is the weight (in grains) and configuration (JHP, for instance, means jacketed hollow point) of the bullet; "MV" is the standard abbreviation for muzzle velocity; "ME" is the abbreviation for muzzle energy; "Penetration (10% gel)" is the measured penetration of the bullet when fired into a block of standard ordinance gelatin, which is used to simulate soft tissue; "AIT (goats at Strasbourg)" refers to a famous European experiment where a great many goats of the approximate size and cardio-vascular capacity of a human being were shot broadside through the lungs with a variety of handgun loads and the 'Average Incapacitation Time' (in seconds) from the shot until the animal's collapse was recorded; "One shot stop %" is the percentage of one shot stops in actual street shootings as culled from police records by Marshall and Sanow; "Test brl." means the length of the test pistol's barrel.

Every time I see this conversation, I think of the time I was on-duty and did CPR on a young boy who got shot in the chest by a .22 and died.
Consider a storm of .22 coming down on you, not good. Not the best SD round, but just might do the trick.
Lately I've been recommending .22's to new shooters. Mostly M&P 15-22's, lcr's, sr22's and 10/22's for the following reasons.
1. Better than nothing
2. Low felt recoil especially for those with disabilities.
3. Ammo is cheap (or it was). Practice is important. New shooters need to shoot!! If they stick with it, they can always upgrade later.
4. Stingers and other high velocity ammo is available for defense if they really want. The Ruger LCR, 10/22, & SR22 seem reliable enough. The LCR has the edge for ease of cleaning and ability to quickly get past a dud round.
I don't think I've ever assisted in a shooting investigation with a .22. I can't add too much real world experience.
When it comes to a "defensive" round you want to end the threat NOW, not on the 25th shot, but the first.
We are talking about using a 22 as a defense round, not trying to ask if it can kill. If you are defending using a 22lr for defense over larger calibers, I guess we just cant get through to you. Go ahead and use it. Just be sure and tell that bad guy who is trying to kill you with his 45ACP to stand still so you can pump several rounds into him and wait for the results.
I'm done.
The odds of stopping a bad guy with a .22 BEFORE he can start returning fire and essentially zero. I don't care how many little squirrel targets you can hit at 50 yards. You're not going to make a single shot kill in an SD/HD situation.
Relax bro, I'm on your side.
I guess I can come on a little strong sometimes. Sorry about that.
I'm pretty passionate about this kind of thing. On an open forum where you have people seeking advise about defense guns and calibers, I don't want to mis lead anybody.
Firing warning shots and thinking you are going to control the situation is a little neive as well. Things rarely turn out the way we plan, we must adapt. We can't choose who is going to break into your home.
In 1980 my parents were involved in a pretty scary situation. Someone was knocking on the service porch door on the side of the house in the middle of the night. To get access to the door, this guy had to get over their 6' fence. My father grabbed a 38 revolver and confronted the guy on the other side of the door. He was warned my father was armed and my mother was calling the police. Then the guy knocked a solid core door off its hinges and came after my father. He was shot in the hip but didn't flee outside, he ducked behind a door. Three more shots were fired through the door but didn't connect. Knowing he was almost out of bullets my father was going to wait until the guy was right in front of him before he shot again. The guy came at him and collapsed on the kitchen floor. My father covered him until the police showed up.
I'm still holding out for a 12 gauge shot gun with five rounds loaded.
Trust me, they'll stop.
Do only safe sex. Never have sex with someone crazier than you are.
Don't marry or move in together before you're both at least 25.
Don't have children until you're married five years or at least age 30.
Put 10% of your salary into savings every month no matter how broke you are.
Don't ever screw around with the IRS.
Keep a handgun on your bedside table.
Don't smart-mouth judges, or cops who stop you on the road.
If you have to defend yourself, the best gun choice is the closest loaded gun. Caliber arguments go out the window, and are for what you plan to keep loaded and available prior to needing to defend yourself.

I recently defended my self with my 22/45 (CCI mini mags). The attacker was a paper target coming at me on a automatic target carrier durring 21 ft drills. Hit that scary SOB 7 out of 8 times.
"Every day I get up and look through the Forbes list of the richest people in America. If I'm not on there, I go to work."
I recently attempted to work up a traumatic arrest secondary to a single .22lr round to the left lower chest wall. Dude suffered a left sided tension hemo/pnuemo and may have have a ripped aorta from the internal deflection of the round. That was just a single round, I can only imagine what multiple 22lr rounds in the kill zone would do.....Hey, but it's better than nothing, RIGHT???
facts vs armchair commandos..... stats win
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

English economist & philosopher (1806 1873)
It's in interesting chart. I suspect the overall results are really skewed because the majority of people do not fire once, pause to evaluate the results, then fire again when required. Almost everyone fires multiple rounds and stops only when the threat is on the ground.
I'm pretty sure that's not accurate.
The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed - where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.
-Hon. Alex Kozinski (Silvera v Lockyer, 2003)
John Hinckley used a .22 revolver in his attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan. With his six shots, he made James Brady (direct shot to head) an invalid and almost killed Reagan with a ricochet shot to his lung.
.22 spoiled a lot of lives that day.
"You may all go to Hell, and I will go to Texas" - Davy Crockett
22lr is an excellent choice. Look at all the damage in the ballistic gel and all those folks killed with a 22lr. People seem to think it's a BB gun because it's has a soft recoil and isn't as loud and their ninja tactifool .45 ACP. The blast and flash of a centerfire round in a confined space like a hallway or bedroom is too much for most folks to handle.
IMO, Any caliber is better than nothing. That said, If I had a choice, say in my Apt, it's gonna be a 12 Gauge. Would I use a .22 if I had to? Absolutely! In regards to "flash" I'd suggest taking a course with your AR, that involves limited/no light. I shot my Noveske in the dark & couldn't believe how effective the Hider was!!! NO problem with vision, or follow up shots. Rifles, Hiders & Ammo can & will vary.
Yes I took the pic, no I didn't go swimming!
There are tons of opinions on this topic and i can only offer my thought.
1. If all I could reach or what was easiest to reach was a fully loaded 22LR, I would grab it and use it.
2. If I had a choice between grabbing a 22LR vs a shotgun or pistol in high caliber, I would reach for the shoutgun or pistol or carbine rifle
If you need to think it through to plan the right caliber and ammo combo, follow the link. They FBI has a very intense test criteria, please consider in your choice your living location (apartment, condo, other, cave) in the decision. You do not want over penetration.

In today's world, all subscribers--whether on the business or residential network--want faster, better, more powerful access to advanced services in the office, at home or on the road.
High-bandwidth, Quality-of-Service (QoS) enabled, fully managed optical networks are required for subscribers to reach data centers and popular new cloud applications. And, as mobility continues to rule the networking world, IT resources within data networks are becoming more disaggregated, distributing equipment and contents closer to the user to allow for quicker response times during remote access.
Together, the latest networking trends have created what could become a very complex network . . .and a data center IT nightmare. However, it doesn't have to be so complicated! The answer is to simply "keep it simple."
Seeking High-Bandwidth, Low-latency
When looking to achieve and maintain the high-bandwidth, low-latency, reliability and survivability required to support the increased use of streaming, Over-the-Top services and applications, the majority of data center and IT managers will list space, power and cooling as their top concerns.
The newest innovations in data center architecture allow operators to geographically distribute functions such as content, raw compute power, storage and interconnection locations closer to the user in order to optimize cost and response time. However, this approach significantly strains space and power resources, especially in the densely-populated metro.
When it comes to high-density transport in the data center, operators can maintain efficiency and high QoS for advanced services, without losing any functionality, by improving the flexibility of their networking tools. It's time to start doing more with less.
In many networks, transport applications overlap and usually result in additional capital expenditure (CAPEX) investments. By incorporating multi-service optical platforms into the network, data centers can achieve optimum performance, increased efficiency and productivity without compromising quality or responsiveness, or increasing capital or operational expenses.
A multi-service transport platform can support multiple functions enabling chameleon-like application transformation and offer full support for industry protocols and data rates up to 10G and higher in a modular, managed and economical package.
Today's technology allows providers to interconnect data centers with 30 channels of 10G in a mere 4RU or up to 80 channels of 10G in 11RU while using less than 0.7 Watts per Gbps of bandwidth. Furthermore, advanced power management features allow operators to reduce utility costs by turning off unused equipment to extend life span and reduce cooling costs.
By deploying more efficient, multi-service solutions, data centers can realize simplified operations and more efficient management of the network, and therefore better cost-effectively meet today's need for high-density 10G Metro Optical Transport. So, when looking to improve density, power efficiency, ease-of-use, flexibility and inventory management, remember: keep it simple.

Offense Rallies for a 92-60 Win in Wyoming Cowboy Spring Game
After a slow start, the offense came on late in the second quarter and then controlled the second half for a 92-60 win over the defense in the Wyoming Cowboys Spring Game Saturday at War Memorial Stadium. It was the finale of the 15 practices the Cowboys are permitted in the spring, which began March 26th.
Wyoming head coach Dave Christensen said, "I think there were a lot of good things on both sides of the football. Pleased the way our 1-defense played. Except for one series in there, I think they were mostly three-and-outs. One-offense started a little bit slow, then got going, which was good to see."
The defense came out strong and held a 21-13 lead at the end of the first quarter. They got an interception from freshman linebacker Lucas Wacha on the first possession of the game. After a pass break-up to end the second series, the defense forced three consecutive three-and-outs, highlighted by a junior defensive end Sonny Puletasi sack.
The offense finally scored in the third possession of the second quarter when sophomore quarterback Jason Thompson hit junior wide receiver Jalen Claiborne on a 6-yard t-d strike. Thompson put the offense in scoring position with a 53-yard scramble.
The defense struck back with senior corner Marqueston Huff's 54-yard interception return for a touchdown and a 42-30 edge in the scrimmage.
Huff said, "I was reading quick game. I saw the quarterback do a quick 3-step drop, then I transitioned to the receiver, and I saw him run a hitch, and I just broke (on the ball). When I got there, the ball was there, so after that it was just trying to get to the end zone."
Junior quarterback Brett Smith got the offense back on track with a 2-play, 65-yard drive that culminated in a 36-yard t-d pass to senior wide receiver Robert Herron. Still, the defense held a slim 47-46 lead at halftime.
Smith said the two-minute drill at the end of the half got them going, "When you put the title onto it (2-minute), it kind of kicks everybody into gear, because obviously you're trying to put points on the board in limited time. Yeah, everybody was getting on the ball and doing a good job, and obviously we scored and had success when we did it."
Smith put the offense in front to start the second half with a 26-yard scoring pass to Herron on the offenses' first series of the third quarter. Thompson added a 41-yard scoring pass to junior receiver Mitch Berger, and the offense held a 68-52 lead at the end of the third.
Smith connected with Claiborne on a 57-yard t-d pass in the fourth quarter, while senior quarterback Colby Kirkegaard hooked up with red-shirt freshman wide out Eric Nzeocha for a 23-yard scoring pass. Despite a blocked field goal by freshman defensive lineman James Diamanti on the final possession, the offense had prevailed, 92-60.
The offense ended up with 559 total yards and seven touchdowns. They threw for six scores and ran for another.
Smith was 9-13 for 168 yards and three t-d passes, while Thompson went 13-17 for 155 yards and two scores. Thompson was also the leading ground gainer with 64 yards rushing on five attempts. Kirkegaard threw for 105 yards and the one score, but was also picked off twice.
Herron led the receivers with four catches for 116 yards and the 2 t-d's. Claiborne added 100 yards on five receptions and two scores. Senior running back Tedder Easton had the lone score on the ground for the offense.
The defense was led by Wacha, who had eight total tackles and a pass break-up, in addition to his interception. Huff added six tackles and the INT. Overall, the defense finished with the two picks, nine tackles for loss, which included four sacks, and two pass break-ups.
It wasn't all business on Saturday, as the team had some fun competitions mixed into the Spring Game. They included a 3-on-3 short yardage session at the start, a punt catching competition featuring lineman and coaches and a dance competition.
Wyoming will now focus on a strong finish to the current academic semester. They will return on June 3 for summer training and conditioning, and then have nine days off before fall camp begins in early August.

Is the x2 20 or f-one mach 1 faster than the north 22.5 and does it have comparable power to the north? I've heard that the 22.5 rhino is one of the best big kites on the market, but people tell me that the mach 1 18.1 gets going in 6 knots. I find this hard to believe seeing that i fly a 12.2 airush lift (15.1 f-one equivalent) and i need 15 knots to get going well with this, holding it up to ~ 30 knots.

Creamy & Crunchy
An Informal History
of Peanut Butter, the
All-American Food
by Jon Krampner
Columbia University Press
Peanut butter is the lazy person's any meal. The average child will consume 1,500 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches before he graduates high school; 90% of households keep jars in their cupboards; and the average US consumer eats about 6 pounds of it a year. Midwesterners like it salty and New Englanders like it sweet, but not as sweet as those in the South.
There's even a month devoted to the spreadable protein. November — a month known for overeating — is also called "Peanut Butter Lovers' Month."
A month in honor of peanut butter might sound ludicrous to you, but certainly not to author Jon Krampner, who has penned an exhaustive book about the snack. In the same vein as one-subject books "Cod," "Banana" and "Salt," Krampner's "Creamy & Crunchy" aims to trace the rise of peanut butter in America and in doing so tell a greater story about how a mere snack shaped and reflects our shared history.
The story begins over 3,000 years ago in South America, where peanut plants were first domesticated. South American Indians ground peanuts into sticky paste and made non-alcoholic drinks from them.
The Latin name for peanuts, Arachis hypogaea, means "weed whose fruit grows underground." Peanuts aren't actually nuts, but legumes that are more closely related to peas and clover than walnuts and cashews.
Spanish and Portuguese explorers brought peanut plants from South America to Europe in the 16th century. The peanut made its way to Africa, and then to the United States on slave ships landing on the East Coast in the 17th century.
Peanuts were initially associated with slaves and viewed as a "poor person's food." During rationing in the Civil War, peanut oil replaced lard and olive oil and remained a lower-class food item until peanut butter was introduced.
The invention of peanut butter remains a mystery, but it's clear that the origins were far from palate-sticking and delicious.
Peanut butter was initially prescribed as a medicine (doctors doled it out as a laxative, when it is quite the opposite) and many churches urged people to eat it instead of meat.
Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, of the cereal fame, became the first "peanut butter pioneer" when he prescribed peanut butter at his sanitoriums in the 1880s. But his peanut butter tasted terrible and bore little resemblance to the kind we eat now.
George A. Bayle became the first man to manufacture peanut butter on a large scale. He also began the first of a long tradition of advertising peanut butter with the slogan: "A sandwich a day keeps your children at play."
(It's interesting to note that George Washington Carver's role in the making of peanut butter was largely legend. "Almost none [of his story] is true," writes Krampner.)
Peanut butter was rapidly adopted between 1890 and 1900. And it began, unlike its peanut predecessor, as a dish for the 1%.
"Dainty tearooms and high-class restaurants proudly announced that their salads, sandwiches and soups were made with peanut butter," says one food historian Krampner interviewed.
But as the prices dropped (and as machinery became more efficient in the planting and shucking of peanut plants) and sandwiches became more popular, peanut butter entered the food world as the everyman's go-to snack.
In 1923, Heinz marketed its own brand of hydrogenated peanut butter, meaning the oil stayed solid at room temperature and could be kept outside a refrigerator. Peter Pan hit in 1928, followed by Skippy in 1933 and then Jif in 1958.
The Great Depression pushed peanut butter into another stratum as people clamored for a quick, cheap and filling food. World War II brought heightened love for the spread, as it became easy to ship overseas and meat rationing made peanut butter (in all its incarnations) a go-to meal.
Production rose from 200 million pounds in 1936 to 325 million pounds in 1947 and then to 400 million pounds in 1958.
Peanut butter, however, hit a few road blocks on its rise to the top. In the 1970s, peanut butter brands came under fire for not using enough peanuts in their recipes. The FDA ordered a standard for peanut butter: At least 90% of it had to be made up of peanuts.
Peanut butter got a bit of a shock last year when a significant portion of the peanut crops were decimated by droughts and high heats causing prices to jump. Luckily, we can't go to long without our favorite spread. This year, farmers are expected to bring in two-thirds more peanuts than they did in 2011.
