To say the least the 2015-16 deer season was memorable for me. It was my most productive season that I've ever had by 5 deer. I didn't kill a single buck, which I'm 100% fine with. However, two of the highlights of my season were guiding my dad and another long time hunting partner of mine to their 2nd and 1st antlered bucks respectively, both nice 8 pointers. Dad's previous buck was a spike which he shot last year, that was his first deer. Now he kids me and jokes that he only shoots bucks. I have to give it to him he is 2 for 2 now! I had a chance at both of those deer but I took a lot more joy in putting other hunters on a trophy than taking it myself.
I was a bit late getting to the party this year, I didn't take my first deer until the second weekend of muzzleloader. I found out that I have a knack for making summer sausage with that deer. Hey, I'm popular at work all of the sudden. Just made another 35 pounds last week. I'm not telling the guys at work about that batch though.
I'd say that I get as much joy out of sharing the wealth as anything else though. It feels good to be able to help a family out, that is in need, or to just someone that doesn't hunt some deer meat and have them tell you that they enjoyed it and maybe they now have a different stance on hunting. I haven't kept strict records but tallying things up on my fingers and toes I calculate that I gave 6 families consisting of around 30 people total a significant amount of deer meat this season. Again, I didn't keep any records but when I say significant I mean at least 10 pounds of meat.
Honestly what inspired this post was criticism that I received from some "trophy hunters." I was criticized because these "hunters" believe that the only deer that should be shot are mature bucks with big racks. In their opinion does equal bucks so does shouldn't be shot. All the while they talk of spread and inches of antlers. I just have a hard time believing that this is the true spirit of hunting. I will say that if hunting trophy whitetails is your thing then I support you and I have no problem with that I just don't want to hear your objections when I thinning some does out of what is obviously an over populated area.
Please, I encourage all hunters to measure your success as a hunter by how many new hunters you can get in the woods. (Double points for kids!) How many meals you provide for others. And how many non/anti hunters you made question their ideals simply by observing your actions.

There has been a trend to use the words "Common Sense" to describe everything from Health Care to Gun Control. The political class that speaks this way is using the term to take advantage of people in our society that have no ability to understand what "Common Sense" actually is... I have two sons that qualify as Millennials or Gen X. I had to actively WORK to teach them independence and critical thinking. In all honesty to date my success is questionable largely due to them both attending College. Time will tell if the remember the lessons of their youth as they get older. Common Sense isn't something that they exhibit regularly right now but they both have in the past. The average young adult these days shows even less in my opinion.
How do you define Common Sense? For me it is "the sensible course of action given the current circumstances and knowledge of what worked and or didn't work in the past" It's the what worked in the PAST that guides us! Think critical about what works and doesn't work and use that knowledge to guide your Common Sense...
"Common Sense Gun Control is a falsehood to mask the real intention and hide from the actual problem. If you want to stop gun violence the first thing you have to do is think like the criminal and predict his actions (much like you think like your quarry when you hunt). Only by understanding the criminal mind can you thwart his actions. None of the great O's orders do this. If you want to stop a criminal you have to act directly against him. His criminal mind is always looking for a way around our civilized rules. Yes I said it Criminals are not civilized they are Evil Barbarians that care not for our rules or civilized society.
Our civil society teaches us what is "Common Sense" to to us its members not what "Common Sense" is to a criminal! Criminals do what they want without regard to others they are UN-civilized by definition. Protecting ourselves requires us to throw off the blinders of our civil behavior to understand them.
We don't need "Common Sense" Gun Control we need "Common Sense" Criminal Control!

If your safe has an electronic combination locking system only, you should think about this. If we have an EMP attack you wouldn't be able to open your safe. Everything that is electronic not protected by a Faraday Cage will be unusable. Think about it for a moment. Everything electronic is FRIED! We would be back living without electricity like during the Civil War! Here's another thought too not many of you have pondered. Police now have portable EMP devises that shut down car computers causing the cars to come to a halt. What prevents them from using this portable EMP devise on your home during a raid to disable your electronic safe so you can't get to your guns. There's a lot of information on EMP and Faraday Cage construction on the internet. Protect your communication devises, generators, and other necessary electronic devises now. If your thinking about buying a safe, buy the dial type for for your protection. Cannon Safes has EMP proof combinations now that open both ways.

Sandpiper of California (SOC) Three-Day Pass Elite
I have had this bag for exactly one year. I got it last September right before my dad passed away and immediately started using it for business travel and every-day gear toting. It has absolutely shrugged off a mountain of abuse. It looks as good today as it did when it was brand new. ZERO signs of wear.
I've crammed it under airplane seats, in overhead compartments and stuffed it under chairs on busses. I've thrown it in and out of my Jeep, carried it daily to work, and kicked it under more desks than I can count. It's carried not one but two laptops AND an iPad simultaneously and in complete safety to the devices and comfort to me. It's the only backpack I have found yet that doesn't scream "Tacticool" but has dozens of cubbies and pockets suitable for the prepared, armed individual.
The main compartment has a padded sleeve for a laptop as well as a bladder pocket for hydration. The next largest compartment is lined with three heavy duty vertical strips of velcro to which you affix three included mesh zipper packs which are perfect for holding laptop power supplies, cords, toiletries, and sundries.
A series of pockets and flaps cover the front of the pack and hide several compartments sealed off from the elements, a typical pens/pencils office supplies organizer, etc. The pack is covered in various places with color-matched MOLLE loops for additional attachment points.
The straps are HEAVY DUTY and padded for comfort. There's a "drag loop" at the top of the pack that works just fine for a handle. The shoulder straps have a comfortable chest-strap that can tie them together and spread even more of the load across the wearer's upper body.
The back of the pack has extraordinarily comfortable and durable padding panels that are designed to comfort your back and channel air-flow to keep your back from getting sweaty.
I really can't say enough good things about this pack and wish I had the sort of funds to just give them away to people. You can find them online for around $100.

In the over 20 years we have been selling gun safes we get many questions about the features of the safes we sell. One of the most asked questions is what is the difference in fire ratings of the various brands. I have listed out the main things to look for in a fire test.
The external temperature of the fire test, usually between 1200 and 1950 degrees
The amount of time it takes the test furance to reach its test temperature
The time the safe was tested to, usually between 30 and 150 minutes
How many temperature probes were in the safe to text the internal temperture, the more the better
The internal temperature that the safe reached during the text, the lower the better. the industry benchmark is 350 degrees.
But why you ask do the different companies have different external test temperature and test exposure times?
A lot if the test results are smoke and mirrors and the companies keep the test specifics a secret because they don't want you to see that not all test are the same.
Look for a company that shows you the type of test they do and the furnace ramp up time and duration of the maximum heat exposure. This will give you a better idea of how the safe will hold up in a real world fire.
Stay tune , more to follow..........

How amazing it is how easily lead the liberals are in this country when they are being lead to the slaughter. This page is dedicated to helping them along.
"That which is aquired to easily is esteemed to litely.â€
I believe we are living in the most dangerous times since the Civil War.
Our system is broken and we all need to fix it. The Democratric Party has been taken over by communist radicals of the 60's ( you know who they are) and they have expertly used the guidlines of the Communist Manifesto to methodically dissasemble this country built on the blood and tears of generations. The minorities are in control and the time to sit idlly by is over.
This is a forum dedicated to finding methods to return our country to it's glorious norm.
If you are of another view, there are many places to go to spread it, don't do it here you arn't welcome.

This list is by no means complete. Please understand that many individuals that provide online resources for survival, primitive living, homesteading, natural living, etc. are either self funded or maintain their sites from donations, sponsors & click programs etc. Do not be surprised to find occasional dead links, defunct 404s, etc.. Bear in mind some of these 'bloggers' aren't necessarily very indoorsy so updates may not be the most timely. I have no affiliations or personal connections with individuals operating any of these sites and they are listed solely for your entertainment purposes. Material you find may be contradictory with other survival/primitive/natural living sites so please use caution. Some few of these sites have 'pay content or product' and on the supply/gear sites prices may be wildly out-of-market so please perform your own research before purchasing.

Greetings from PARKER'S SAFES AND VAULTS!
I get a lot of questions from folks who are in the market for a gun safe. I thought I'd take a few minutes and address a couple of those. (I'll be the first to admit that I'm a little biased, but my opinions are based on my personal experience. I have delivered, installed and serviced a lot of safes)
First question...
1. There is so much information on the web and so many companies claiming that their safes are the best, how can I choose the best safe for my money?
-Great question. No one wants to buy something and then wish later that they hadn't. Quality, function and price are the main considerations.
QUALITY- A heavy safe made in the U.S.A., with 4-way active bolts, a reinforced or plate steel door perimeter, a solid plate steel door, a dial lock and at least a double step door would be what I would look for.
FUNCTION- Be mindful of where the bolts extend on the inside of the safe. Some safes have very little or very thin steel around the perimeter of the door. The door perimeter needs to be stout enough to hold the door in place during a pry attack. If you run your hand inside the door on the strike side and feel a raw edge of steel, it's probably not enough. This raw steel edge can be flexed away from the door with pry bars. It doesn't take much prying to flex the perimeter away from the door enough to gain access. Look for safes with a tubular style door perimeter or better yet, a plate steel door perimeter of 1/4" or more. In my opinion, it doesn't matter how many bolts or how big the bolts are if the door perimeter lacks sufficient strength to hold the door on during a pry attack.
Look for 3 numbers on your fire rating. Yes there should be 3 not just 2. These are:
The temperature at which the safe was tested, the duration of the test, and most importantly, the inside temperature of the safe during the test. For example, 1500, 90 min, 349 deg. Paper gets crispy at about 405 degrees and house fires burn at an average temperature of 1100 degrees.
Again, I recommend a dial lock instead of an electronic one. (I know, not too trendy, but they work when you need them to.) and at least one external relocker.
PRICE- A quality safe is an investment. Safes that are cheap are cheap safes. Safes like most at the big box stores can be breached in a matter of minutes and offer little real security. Buy one quality safe a little bigger than you think you'll need and be done with it.
2. I'd like to get a safe, but will the floor framing in my house support it?
Generally speaking, yes. Unless you already have a lot of weight on the floor or are considering a really heavy safe.(2000 lbs.) It largely depends on where you put the safe. Placing it near an exterior or load bearing wall or directly above a support pier are the best options as the load is closer to the bearing point. The sheer strength of a standard 2x10 is around 2500 pounds. With most safes, we'll span at least 2 of these so we should be fine. Another option is to reinforce your floor if you can access the crawl space or basement. I have delivered a lot of heavy safes into many different styles of homes and have never had a single floor load issue.
As always, it's my pleasure to personally entertain any safe questions you might have. If you have any questions or would like to see some quality safes in person or both, please give me a call.

So, my son has reached the ripe old age of exactly 12 1/2 years old. As he has gotten "older", his thoughts have not necessarily turned to the SI Swimsuit Issue (that I know of, anyway....), but towards the great outdoors and just how, exactly, he'll get there under his own (right foot) power. So, we began a search for the perfect project vehicle that we could work on together to turn into a reliable, safe, good looking (His thoughts may have turned to that swimsuit issue after all since he wants to look good going somewhere??) vehicle. At this point we have had several deals either fall through or just didn't get there quickly enough to make a deal.
Until Tuesday.
I found a 1979 Jeep Cherokee Chief S (wide track) that is in rough shape, but not too rough. Floor pans are completely rusted out, most likely from an aftermarket sunroof that has RTV all around it, the door panels are gone, the shift lever from 4 Lo to 4 Hi does not work (Manipulated the linkage and shifted well. At least the BW transfer case worked), the back door does not open, and the carb is completely shot (even though the motor idles smoothly when using a spray mister to inject gas directly into the carb), and it has a ton of surface rust on the body, but only rotted at the rocker on the drivers side.
My son was aghast.
I fell in love.
Mechanically, the old truck is pretty sound, and has the makings of greatness. After showing my son some pictures of the old Chiefs in good shape, he is 100% on board. The scope of the project is large with long lead times, so, I would like to start this blog to chronicle the father / son rebuild of an outdoor Icon.
I will post up some pics along the way, and of course, am happy to receive advice on this journey. Anything you can add, or point me in the right direction with this is greatly appreciated!!

In The Country
If you read my first blog,
you know I retired and fled the urban environment and population
centers post haste. I realize many can not relocate from the
population centers, as they provide the majority of employment,
convenience and shopping, however...
They also offer the most
risk of becoming a victim of violent crime and governmental people
control, especially during hard times or a natural / man made
disaster. Trust this when I say, former law abiding moral people will
resort to anything during hardship and disaster to survive and
provide for their families, that's just human nature and survival.
Add to that the climate the government created with all the welfare
programs and people now "expect and demand†unearned handouts.
The attitude of, "you owe me†has become instilled in millions of
welfare recipients. With that said, then the question becomes, will
you become the source of their survival to the detriment of your own
family and survival?
With the advent of a
catastrophic natural or man-made disaster, law enforcement, fire
departments, EMT service personnel, etc. will naturally leave their
posts to protect and provide for their families and themselves.
Katrina being the latest localized natural disaster with plenty of
warning. It's historically accurate and human nature to abandon your
post and flee to your loved ones when they are in danger. Agreed?
Kaos and the criminal element then naturally take over.
There are literally
hundreds of gangs in our cities and urban dwellings, both large and
small. That translates into hundreds of thousands if not millions of
gang-bangers looking for an excuse to rape, murder, pillage, loot and
burn down the town if not restricted. That's not even counting the
large criminal / drug induced segment of our society always looking
for opportunities and easy targets, much-less the average Joe trying
to steal for the survival of his / her self and family.
Compassion and charity is
a wonderful thing and needs to be practiced but, to your own
preparations and demise? Think on that for a moment if you will. How
far are you willing to go to help others in need at the detriment of
your very own needs and survival of you and your family?
I know first hand what it
is like to experience spitting cotton because of thirst and such
hunger that you think your throat has been cut. This was a
"temporary†experience and I knew relief was in sight in the near
future. Imagine the thoughts and justifications former law abiding
citizens will have to justify in their minds their actions to take
from the haves, to provide for themselves and their families when
they realize no help is forth coming anytime soon?
Suffice it to say, it's
human nature and survival to morally rationalize violence and
stealing from the haves to survive and provide for their families, at
the expense and demise of the haves. It's a historical fact played
out many, many times. When it comes to hunger pains and survival of
your family, the mind conjures up all kinds of moral reasons to
steal, harm, accost and pillage innocent people.
Think about this if you
will. Plague, famine, pestilence, earthquakes, drought, dust bowls,
financial collapse, global warming, world war, terrorism, tsunami,
crime, murder, volcano's, etc. have plagued mankind since the
beginning of time. Our current place in history is no exception and
we are definitely not immune in modern times to national / worldwide
duress and survival. Modern history is loaded with examples, don't
ever think the U.S. is immune to such events and many are long past
due according to the experts.
Add to that the U.S. is
not very popular anymore and many nations want to destroy us. They
could make 9/11 look like a walk in the park someday. They could
release a biological weapon, EMP attack, poison a major water supply,
detonate a dirty bomb near on in a major population center, destroy a
number of our nuclear power plants, the opportunities and targets are
endless. Mark my words, it's just a matter of time. We have to catch
them each and every time, they have to succeed only once.
Shall we look at
probabilities and statistics of a national disaster? Anyone actually
know how much debt we are in both personally and as a nation? I've
seen reports that personally and as a nation, all our land, national
resources, cities, and infrastructure could not pay off our
collective debt. What "expert†would tell the American people we
are not insolvent and bankrupt with a straight face? Ever wonder to
whom we owe all this debt to, and what the consequences are if they
demand it back right now?
What are the odds? They're
guessing and have no idea but, it's said the New Madrid fault line
and many other fault zones affecting the U.S. have a 1:50 chance of
slippage in the next 20 years? Science has no idea and can only rely
on statistical probability based on historical activity, it could
happen any day. A major quake in the U.S. would bring us to our knees
and disrupt all commercial transport of our survival needs for an
extended period of time. Our grocery shelves would be bare in three
days, gasoline would be gone in hours, utter chaos would prevail
What about all the other
probabilities that are unstoppable and will occur again like drought,
earthquake(s), asteroids, meteors, mega solar flares, multiple
volcanic eruptions, famine, pestilence, avian flu, etc. etc.?
Everything taken individually seems like a minute chance and nothing
to be concerned about, right? Now, adding everything up collectively
and applying a little common sense to the equation. You can do your
own addition and subtraction to figure out your own odds of something
happening. But I call it a good chance in my short life time left.
Well, what did I do to
better prepare for the next eventual local, national or world crises
that will eventually occur, as they historically always do? IMHO, you
can't prepare for everything or totally prepare for anything, that's
an unfortunate fact unless you're a billionaire or a "Doomsday
Prepper†on TV.
I prioritize my needs
based on where I'm at today in the country. In the urban environment,
my needs were much more into stocking food & water, protecting
them and bugging out to a safer location when the need arose.
The whole point of this
diatribe is to make you aware of the potential disaster(s) that faces
you and your families, and how will you potentially fare?
You can't prepare for
everything but you can prepare for an extended unexpected emergency
and enhance your chances for survival without resorting to criminal
activities and stealing from your neighbor to survive.
I have car insurance just
in case. I have health insurance just in case. I have home owners /
earthquake insurance just in case. I have SHTF preparations, JUST IN
And you should too...

Tonight I took another shot at our trusty friend, the LiteSpeed httpd engine. To be fair, a friend and I worked on this thing until almost midnight last night and we noticed some things that gave me a hint about why it didn't work quite right yesterday.
The good news is that our current web server is now running LiteSpeed which is a brutally fast alternative to Apache. As I mentioned yesterday, I hate the Apache web server more than I hate gingivitis. Actually that's not entirely accurate as until this moment I really didn't have an opinion on gingivitis.
So let's just simplify it and say that Apache has stolen so much of my free time lately and caused me so much undue stress that if Apache were a person, I'd put on my best Affliction shirt from The Buckle, drink a lot of RedBull and make a YouTube video all jacked up on caffeine where I ultimately signed off by saying if it crashed one more time I was going to start killing servers.
Yeah... I went there.
Hopefully us running LiteSpeed for the time being will tide us over until we get moved to our new server where we also won't be running Apache. No small coincidence. In the meantime, if you notice anything odd about the server, please report it in the Feedback and Support forum so that I can investigate.
And enjoy the nice fast page loads.

*I'm tossing this into the mix as a blog because I thought some might enjoy it and I couldn't really find an appropriate venue in the regular forums.*
On a personal note, I've found the best way to meet adversity is with a smile and if you can't laugh at yourself... Well, you know the rest. This was an actual letter written to my former boss upon learning that he and his family had decided to vacation in Colorado... It was also inadvertently (and almost accidentally) the first piece I had published.
If you like it, let me know and I'll consider sharing a few other pieces I've written.
Dear Boss:
Congratulations on having chosen the Colorado Rocky Mountains as your vacation spot this year! As you may know, even though I'm originally from Kansas, I have spent a great deal of time in the Rockies. In fact, due in large part to inaccurate maps, faulty compasses and the mysterious geologic forces which strive to constantly re-arrange other wise familiar landmarks - I have probably spent more time in the Colorado back country than most members of the search and rescue team. At any rate, I am convinced that you, yourself could not have picked a better destination.
I must admit that I am honored that you have come to me for advice and I commend you on your excellent judgment. Naturally, over the years, I have acquired an almost encyclopedic knowledge on this subject and you may believe me when I say that I have forgotten more than you know.
From the time of Zebulon Pike to present there have been literally thousands of books and articles authored on the subject of camping and living in the Rocky mountains. So many so that my wife jokingly inquired as to why anyone over the age of eight who owns a library card would willingly come to me for advice. I politely informed her that I, for one, could understand your wanting to learn things that only a real expert like myself would know!
With that in mind, Boss, I have decided not to fill your brain with information easily obtained from other sources. Instead, I have enclosed the following list of things you should NOT do while you are in the mountains. I know you should not do these things, because unfortunately, I have done them all at some point in the past. Needless to say, the results have ranged from just thoroughly embarrassing to damn near disastrous!
Good Luck Boss! May you learn at least as much from my "adventures" as I have...
Things you should NOT do in the Mountains
(Or anywhere else for that matter!)
1. Do not wrap an egg in clay and place it the campfire to cook.
2. Do not try to start a campfire using only a mouthful of brandy and a Zippo lighter.
3. No matter how cute and cuddly it may look - Do not try to pet a baby porcupine.
4. Never try to kill a skunk with a banjo!
5. Never try to bluff a moose...
6. Never try to cross a stream on any log which is more than ten feet above the water - Especially if the water is less than three feet deep!
7. Never leave your clothes more than a mile from where you are actually "skinny-dipping."
8. NEVER allow yourself to be convinced that riding a plastic toboggan down a two thousand foot snow mass and into a mountain lake would be "a really neat thing to do!"
9. Do not sneak up on your camp partner and "woof" like a grizzly - Especially if they are holding a cast iron skillet or a fly rod.
10. Do not throw rocks or pinecones at your camp partner when they in the bushes answering the call of nature - Especially if they are bigger and meaner than you are.
11. Do not throw rocks or pinecones at any stump that looks like a sleeping bear.
12. If you must climb a tree to escape from a recently awakened bear, do NOT disturb anything which looks like a yellow jacket nest - at least until AFTER you are past it.
And finally - Even if the hornets choose to go after the bear and leave you with only a few stings - Do not jump up and down, clap your hands and laugh uproariously while you are still standing in the uppermost branches of a pine tree!

Thanks for clearing that up my friend. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.Contrarian is an adjective in this context. Referring to your previous post...it means basically "This is gonna stir up some stink"It is not name calling. "Troll" would be name calling. Not contrarian. There is a difference.

I was at the laundromat today, doing my normal semi-monthly laundry and picked up a "Daily News Journal". I do live in Murfreesboro and I am a student at MTSU and I was reading a front-page article that a person awaiting their HCP in the mail would read. The article was entitled "Police to Speak to Shooting Victim: Campus Crossing Incident Involved Permit Holder". When I read the headline, a chill went down my spine.
As I began to read the article it began describing how a man with "multiple gunshot wounds was being transported to the hospital by a private vehicle, and later Life Flighted to Vanderbilt." As I read on, the shooter and two witnesses were questioned and all three were released. The police refused to comment on why he was released other than that the shooter was a "handgun carry permit holder." When I finished the article I sat down and started thinking about why they would release him. Obviously, if there had been any question to this not being a self-defense, he would at least be in custody, or would he? I mean, with our Justice system being completely "bassackwards" will that make sense? I thought that the "refuse to comment" was them saying "We don't want to say, it's self defense until we speak to the victim." But in this instance, I believe that the media are using the words "shooter" and "victim" completely out of context. If, in fact, it was self-defense, the term "shooter" doesn't seem to fit. Neither does "victim". Wouldn't it be the "Guy trying to save his own life" and "Criminal that got what he deserved"?
Regardless of the media's crappy use of terminology, the simple fact behind this is: IF this person used his HCP as a means of self defense, shot a person, and was inside the law at all times, the MTSU HCP community can, possibly, have a case on allowing CC on campus, with state approval, of course. HOWEVER, if this person shot out of spite or was wavering the laws, he has just set us back farther than we can imagine, and the anti population will still see HCP holders as "gun toting crazies" and not those who wish to defend ourselves and our families from harm.

Well this is my 1st attempt at a blog. I am not writing this for sympathy but to try to find a way to relieve some stress and deal with a bit of depression.
My name is David. I was born and raised here in the Nashville area. I am 52 and have both of my parents still alive and living here in Nashville. Mom is 83 and Dad will be 83 in May.
Let's start with Dad. He was never in a position where he made a lot of money in his career. He never was an outdoors-man by any means. He didn't hunt, fish or play sports. He spent his spare time in church. We grew up in the Methodists church and Dad was our Youth leader. Even though he was around all of the time I never really felt that close to him. He was not terribly affectionate. I am so glad that I was brought up in church but I'm ashamed to say that it is not always evident. I'm a work in progress and I have a loving, patient Savior.
Dad always had high blood pressure and didn't take care of himself and he is paying for it now. He would not go to see a doctor. His twin brother was a pharmacist who gave him BP meds because he knew he was not going to a doctor. I guess that he felt that any type of medication would be better than nothing.
In '92 his health caught up with him. He had a triple bypass and then in '93 he had a stroke which affected his left side. That forced him to start seeing doctors on a more regular basis. He can just barely get up out of a chair now and when he does make it to his feet he can barely walk. About that time my uncle got him started on supplements and all types of vitamins. There is no telling how much he has spent on these pills over the last 15 years. He believes that the doctors don't know anything because they are not familiar with all of the crap that he takes. He reads the information that these companies send him and swallows hook, line and sinker. They write these to sell their products so they make them sound like they are the key to life. He can't comprehend the reason behind these tactics. The problem is that the one person that he trusted about these was his brother and he died in '99 of congestive heart failure. There is no one else on the face of the earth that could have any chance of convincing Dad that he is wasting his money on them.
Now he is hooked on trying to win sweepstakes. You would not believe what he gets in the mail every week. I was there 3 of the 6 days that mail was delivered about 3 weeks ago and I pulled 17 pieces of that junk out so that he didn't see it. I have my Mom weeding it out and hiding it in the garage before he sees it and then my wife is mailing requests to all of them to please remove him from their mailing lists. I really doubt that will help because they just sell the names to others who are trying to scam them also. They get calls many times a week telling them that if they will wire varying amounts of money to an account, usually in Jamaica, that they will win anywhere from $350k up to $3.5 million. These have all been scams that they have not lost too much money on, usually $20 to $50 to register for the prize. I have pretty much been able to stop him from responding to them but there are a great many out there that have his address and phone number. I want to change their number but he is fighting me about that.
He has not been diagnosed but I suspect that he has at least mild Alzheimers. He can't comprehend anything anymore and he also doesn't remember telling me things and repeats himself constantly.
Now for my Mom. She is such a sweet person. She was a teacher for about 40 years. She taught at Whitsett Elementary for about 30 years. Most of that time she was teaching 1st and 2nd grade. I have a good many friends that I went to school with that she taught.
She is still in fairly good health physically but her problem is that she has been diagnosed with mild to moderate Alzheimers. That is such a horrible disease! She has made the comment many times that she wishes that the Lord would just go ahead and take her home because losing her memory is the worst possible thing that can happen to a person. Her mother, my grandmother had nearly completely lost her memory before she died in '84.
I have had to take her car from her for safety reasons. Dad quit driving about 10 years ago. I was afraid that she would take a wrong turn and end up in AL or in a bad part of town and end up dead.
They will not go to look at Assisted Living facilities because they think that I will leave them there. They don't have a clue what they are about. They have never known anyone who lived in one so they have a mental image of them being nothing more than a nursing home. They have want me to leave them at home for as long as possible and I have promised that i would. I know that when I make the decision that it's time that they will not agree and I will have a fight on my hands. I do have a brother in the area but his job prevents him from being much help.
We have signed them up for Life Alert (I've fallen and I can't get up) and That makes me a little more comfortable with them being home alone but not completely. Their neighbors are pretty good about watching after them and they have my phone numbers.
I am having to do most everything for them. They don't need to go too many places but I need to always be available to take them to church and the grocery. I spend a lot of time with them but I don't want them to feel like I am baby sitting them.
I am by no means wealthy and I have been living on savings and credit. That is about gone and as the cash disappears the stress goes up. My wife has a decent job but not great but we have health insurance at least. I can't lose what we do have but I can't find any work that will fit my needs. My wife doesn't drive and is very insecure so I have to get her to and from work everyday and also see to her needs.
Maybe I can cut some grass in my neighborhood when Spring gets here.
If anyone that reads this has any chance of having to care for elderly family members I would recommend that long before you need them you should get Power of Attorneys drawn up and keep them in a bank box until you have to use them. You need to be sure that they have their Wills in order, Living Wills, Power of Attorney for Health Care and a Durable and General Power of Attorney. If you wait too long for these you will be in a world of trouble. Please don't wait too long. My cousin is in this very predicament now with her mother.
I have never been one that had problems with dealing with stress or depression. I could always lay down at night and be asleep in 5 minutes no matter what. That rarely happens these days. I have a new perspective on what people are dealing with when life tries to get the best of them. It's tough to leave Mom and Dad at home because in trying to do what they want I know that if I make a mistake and leave them there just one day too long that could be the day the catch the house on fire and they both die.
I do want to ask a favor of anyone who reads this. Please keep me and my parents in your prayers.
Thanks and God Bless

My wife experiments with venison. She came up with an idea of putting marrinade on the venison then vacuum sealing it. By doing that, the marrinade gets into the meat during the "vacuum sealing" process. Then she puts it in the freezer for a month or longer and when you cook it, it is great!
Some of the marrinades she uses are"
Honey Mustard
Herb and mustard
Hot spice rub
Man am I lucky!

Well, I have been physically ill with an unknown ailment for 8 days now. Aside from being physically drained, I feel mentally weakened as well. What better time to start using the blog feature here!
Seriously, I have had to take it easy as of late for obvious reasons, and it has given me ample time to think. A very dangerous thing when you are me.
A full recovery is inevitable, but being sick and tired, I feel, has become a chronic condition. I'm sick of the way I used to think about things, so I have changed. All the BS is just that, BULL:poop:. Why? NO, not because there is no chance of it being true, a frightening percentage is probably VERY true. I can't, or am unwilling to do anything about it. So why worry about it?
I have decided at nearly 32 years on this planet, that I will take a more practical approach to life. The activists sometime mislabel practicality for apathy, but they are sadly mistaken. The written word of my GOD says "Who by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?" TOO RIGHT!
I refuse to worry about anything anymore. TSHTF scenarios used to play out in my mind constantly. Now I just enjoy survivalism at it's very purist form. Strip away all the what if's and zombies and government thug attacks and just learn peace and contentment from scratching out an existence with what I can get my hands on.
I have a long way to go, but I have found this very refreshing, liberating and just tad bit fun.
I have only my wife that I care about. I have washed my hands of my family for reasons no one need know. I have, in the last year made two good friends. I say good friends because in the last year, they have never asked for anything. That's a good friend. I'm sick of bums, and relatives who want to tell me what and how I should do things.
Freedom isn't some new law that allows me to carry my gun into Cancuun's and eat my nachos, while the sap next to me gets plastered on a margarita; legally. Freedom is going to bed at night and falling asleep in two, maybe three minutes, because the day is over, and I won't be worried by it anymore.
I have also found new tastes in firearms. I've grown bored with all the tacticool blather. I don't know why. The cool thing is, I have found other things that interest me, and I don't owe anyone an explanation as to why. I just traded a polymer, laser equipped modern handgun for a Winchester model 94. Made in 1971, it's much older than me. It's in great shape, but not a safe queen. We will be getting to know each other very well.
I've also fallen in love with the .45 Long Colt, which may lead you to think I would be interested in Cowboy action shooting or hunting. Not! I hate hunting for sport, I hate rednecks, and I hate the old west. I'd like to live in this country today if the natives had stabbed the guy in the throat after his foot touched plymouth rock. Yeah, I said it. No I don't care if you like it. I'm sick and tired remember? I'm sick and tired of being reminded that many tragedies are traceable to white men. White men slaughtered two of the most beautiful people to ever grace the earth. Indians [Feathers, not dots!] and Jews.
Well. There's a few things out in the open. That feel nice too. So many people are afraid that the other guy will think ill of him if their opinions misalign. I could care less.
You wouldn't worry so much about what other people think about you; If you knew how much they don't.
Well, my throat is still sore, but my head seems clear. Till next time.

The time for sitting back and wondering is over. We have to take the fight to the antis. Use their tactics against them. Every single time one of the whack nuts shoots people ina "gun free zone" we need to start pounding it over and over again how the current laws are useless, and how a single permit holder might have saved lives. They don't give us any quarter when it comes to using these incidents against us, time to do the same.
For example, ABC is going to run a BS 20/20 hit piece called Americas toxic addiction to guns. Do you REALLY think it's going to provide ANYTHING other than misinformation making all gun owners look bad? It's a political hit piece designed to garner support for another far reaching and permanent AWB
Someone on AR15.com posted a letter to send to your local ABC stations that run 20/20 I've sent it out, and I suggest you do the same
"Dear Sir or Madam,
I am a responsible gun owner and a firm believer in the right of law abiding citizens to own guns to defend themselves and their families from criminal predators. While I believe that the vast majority of police officers are decent and honorable individuals who do whatever they can to protect the safety of private citizens, the undeniable fact remains that the police cannot possibly protect everyone, or even a small percentage of the population, because that is not their intended purpose, nor are they staffed or funded to do so. For this and many other reasons, we cherish our time honored rights under the Second Amendment.
It has come to our attention that your station intends to air a segment on an upcoming 20/20 program titled 'America's Toxic Addiction To Guns.' It would appear, based on the program title alone, that this segment will present a very negative and hostile view of the Second Amendment.
We are asking you to not air that segment of the program, please, because we view it as unacceptable for your network to disseminate false and misleading information that undermines our right to self defense to the viewing public.
If you do choose to air this segment despite our objections, we are going to organize a grassroots boycott, at the local level, of all the corporate sponsors whose advertisements appear during the program in question. We have thousands of members of the National Rifle Association here in this city, and our membership will no longer purchase goods or services from those corporate sponsors. Furthermore, we will be sending letters to each of them to explain why we have taken this action, so that they may understand the importance of not supporting anti-gun and anti-freedom lies and slander with their advertising dollars. While we feel it is unfortunate that we have to boycott local merchants, especially in this economic climate in which many companies are struggling for their economic survival, we nonetheless feel that a message needs to be sent directly to the advertising sponsors of this kind of false and misleading programming.
We hope that you will give favorable consideration to our request, and that in the future, you will consider an editorial policy that is more favorable to the rights of self protection for law abiding citizens.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
/you name here/

Well I have been operating BigBoyToyAuction.com for some time now. To be entirely honest it has not been very popular. And we have not been getting much business. Because of that and recent events leading to an increase in everything firearms. I have made firearm related auctions on the site free. No end of auction fees, no listing fees. The only fees are for special features like bold, homepage etc. The only thing that I ask is that for those that are selling please make sure that you decrease the cost of the product to the amount you would normally mark it up for other online auctions. Prices have rocketed I want to drive them down at at least a little bit. Every little bit helps. And dealers are welcome to take advantage as well. Anything firearms related.

This will be a bit of a rant... but hang in there it may get funny. Or pathetic... to early to tell.
I do a little hobby webcomic. It's been on hiatus while I was taking care of some other business. So I'm getting back to it.
Well.... I had a little bit of flaky code that had been bugging me so decided to fix it. Nothing major. I'm pretty anal about keeping backups and stuff like that... (can you see where this is going?)
Yup... you guessed it. Screwed it up. How bad? Toasted the config file that handle authentication with the databases. That... is not good.
I tried a couple of things but to no good. Soooo I decided to just rebuild the site and fix all those little things that had been bugging me for so long. (Yeah I could have restored the site and dug out an older config file to replace the toasted one, but after thinking this would be better.) Just liked the idea of a fresh coat of digital paint after a long hiatus.
It's been a while since I have sat down and did some coding...
Let's backup a bit first and go over my coding skills. I basically subscribe to the "Monkey-Code-Implication-Process"... or the "M.C.I.P". I modify code by grabbing bits of code out of my butt and throw it against the wall to see if it will stick. Yeah... just like monkey's throwing feces in the zoo. The major difference being when a monkey does it, it looks humorous. When I do that digitally, with code, it looses that "cute" appeal to be replaced by "pathetic".
Oh how I loath code.
Anyhoo... after 6 hours the site was back up. Still uploading the comic archive and building the supporting pages when I can, but overall it is up and functioning.
But still... I can't really complain about sitting behind a mac for 6 hours on a Saturday. It sure does beat digging a hole outside in the hot sun for 6 hours.
Kind of helps to keep things in perspective.

Quick dinner, excellent flavors. I did triple my sauce to serve over the rice. <br/>Thank you .
wonderful dish! i did add some thinly sliced Serrano chilies for a little heat came out delish
Lovely fish dish. It reminds me of Moo Goo Gai Pan only prepared with fish instead of chicken. I ordinarily prefer spicy Szechuan type dishes but this mild recipe lets fresh ingredients shine. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks Jen!
This was a lovely seafood stir fry. Once the prep was finished it was ready in a snap. I followed the recipe exactly, but will likely add a little more of the soy sauce, rice vinegar and sesame oil to pick up the flavor a bit in the future, and also a few more mushrooms - because I like them!
Wow, is this ever delicious! It is mild, but don't confuse that with bland - it has great flavor. I halved the salt, tripled the mushrooms, and used a teaspoon each of the soy and vinegar. I loved the fish and the method in this, and the flavors were nicely balanced. I decreased the fish to half a pound (but kept the rest the same) and it was perfect for 2 people.
We really enjoyed this light tasting dish. I added 1 1/2 tsp soy sauce and 1 1/2 tsp rice vinegar instead of 1/2 tsp each after reading Amanda's review and it was very good. I used butterfish/black cod for this recipe. Reminded me of many Cantonese dishes with fresh tasting vegetables and seafood. Thank you Jen for posting this wonderful recipe.
Lovely subtle flavours! I really enjoyed this dish, but DH wanted a bit more mushrooms, garlic and soy. I used quite a meaty, blue-eye cod for the fish, which took the batter nicely. This made three nice, filling servings for us. Yummy! Thanks Jen!

This is a high-quality set for the money. Heavier pieces than many of the other brands.
Sturdy silverware.. these pieces woule be quite difficult to bend while in normal use. My family and I are always satisfied with Oneida's products. Another great purchase!
This was a gift for my mom during the holidays. I love how quickly the product shipped - I got it before Christmas - and was surprised at how heavy the utensils were! A very nice set - don't use lemon dish soap with them!
We have been using these as everyday silverware for about 2 weeks now. They are sturdy and pretty and feel like expensive silverware. They hold up well in the dishwasher and against my protests, my teenager used a spoon to scoop ice cream and it held up perfectly.
This flatware was sooo pretty and durable that I had to order a second set..two days later to be sure it would not sell out!
I needed enough for 8 people and two sets did the trick. These are much better than I expected. Easy to clean if you clean by hand. No intricate pattern or cheap handles for food to get stuck in. A much healthier choice in my opinion.
Great flatware
It looks well enough, handles wide enough for a child or senior to hold. I purchased it as a gift so not sure of its durability and stainless quality. But utensils are personal, what is good for one may not be for another and vice a versa. I purchased as a starter set, they can exchange. But what motivated my purchased are the handles, designed for anyone to hold.
The set looks nice, washed well in the dishwasher. Am very satisfied.
Great set of silverware at a great price
I purchased this flatware as a starter set for my daughters new apartment. It was on sale and I was pleasantly surprised at the thickness and strength this set has. It has a very simple, versatile design that will compliment almost any style of dishware. It should last her for many years and I am even thinking of purchasing a set for myself! I highly recommed this product.
Purchases as a charity donation for unknown family. The set looked very nice, with a heavy feel to it. Appeared to be quite durable. Personally, I loved the simple pattern.
Was quite happy with this set. Am always a little skeptical when buying online. When I received it, I decided to order another set, but they were sold out :>(
I love the silverware for the price but like another reviewer stated, they are kinda big but nothing to be to concerned about.
I bought this as a wedding gift. It was easy to order on line. It is a very pretty set of flatware and was reasonably priced.
Only a few weeks of use. I like the product. No issues with rust. Nice balance and attractive. Good value.
Very pretty and good quality; I bought second set

Since I have not yet gotten into my major classes I cannot base the programs capabilities off of what I have taken. I do know that the classes I am required to take for majority of my major classes have not been very inspiring as to what the program is like. Some of the teachers teach more in a way for us to pass the class as opposed to leaving the class having learned something. This does not speak for all of the teachers, but I will know more once I take my major classes.
I plan on going into an intern so that I can learn more about my major. I think It would be a great opportunity for me to get into an intern so I can work hands on with my major.
Good majors, and they prep you nicely for them.
As a biological sciences major I had no problems in getting into my major progam, it was completely stress free.
For every major, there is an internship availability here.

JAL refreshes wine and champagne on international routes
Japan Airlines (JAL) has renewed its wine and champagne selection on international flights. A new line-up for first class will be served from 11 january 2012, while the new service for business class will roll out between the end of January and middle of February 2012.
The new list was carefully chosen to marry with JAL's inflight menu on international routes, created in collaboration with chefs such as Seiji Yamamoto from 3-Michelin star restaurant RyuGin in Roppongi, Tokyo. In a thorough selection process focused on finding compatible wines that complement and enhance the flavours of the meals served on board, 19 types of wine, including New World wines, were singled out from 90 shortlisted labels narrowed down from an initial choice of 600.
The selection for first class includes Champagne Salon 1999 and Champagne Dom Perignon Vintage 2003. Kusuda Wines Martinborough Syrah, a Japanese wine, will be available on flights to Europe, while on flights to the USA and Jakarta, Kenzo Estate Rindo (from a Californian winery with a Japanese owner) will be served. In executive class, customers will have nine wines to choose from, including Champagne Joseph Perrier Cuvee Royale Brut.
Both the characteristics of the area from which the wine came from and the winemaking methods were taken into consideration in the selection process, which was led by Fumiko Arisaka – a wine journalist and wine advisor to JAL. Also involved in the process were some of JAL's 630-plus cabin attendants who are qualified sommeliers.

Pension shortfalls, ailing companies likely to challenge labor and management during negotiations this year
When hard times come, unionized retailers and their laborers typically resolve to "share the pain." Unfortunately for many, there's still plenty of it to go around these days. Union contracts for troubled retailers including A&P and some Supervalu banners are up for renewal this year and will challenge labor and management to strike deals that can keep them both in business. Elsewhere, negotiations will be heavy in California, where some of the largest grocery unions in the country ...

We show that in contrast to the 1d Frenkel-Kontorova (FK) chain known to obey the Fourier law of heat conduction and several 2d models which show logarithmic dependence of conductivity on system size, a scalar 2d FK lattice with commensurate structure exhibits anomalous heat conduction, whose thermal conductivity displays a power law behavior. The dependence of thermal gradient on bulk temperature and noise correlation is critically analyzed. A dynamical contribution to conductivity when the system attains a nonequilibrium steady state of thermal conduction has been identified.

Fall is the Best Time for Planting
Though spring is the time we associate with planting our landscapes, fall is really the best of all. The plants get off to a better start than they do in the spring.
Fall Planting of Evergreens
As fall approaches, it will bring cooler temperatures. This means it will be a great time for planting most evergreens. There are fewer heat-related stress problems on transplants during this time. They will need less watering than spring transplanted ones.
Fall-the Most Colorful Season
Every season brings something different to the landscape. Some people prefer spring, but fall is my favorite. It is much more gradual than spring.
Father's Day Gifts
So far as spending is concerned, Mother's Day and Father's Day are about equal. Most people will spend around $100 for gifts.
Feather Reed Grass
Karl Foerester feather reed grass is a great choice for the landscape.
Feeding the Birds During the Winter
For gardeners, winter can be a slow time, and there's nothing like feeding the birds to get your blood to moving. Winter seems to pass so much faster when you have something to look forward to.
Fire Witch Cheddar Pink in the Landscape
If you´re looking for a reliable flowering perennial for the landscape, you won´t go wrong with Firewitch cheddar pink.
Flemish Beauty and Golden Spice Pear
Pears are a good choice for the home landscape. Gardeners can choose from many kinds of wonderful European pear varieties.

I ordered a set of 4 monitors for my new home computer system. These monitors are VESA-D (100mm x 100mm) compatible so I was very excited. One thing that is difficult to tell about these monitors from online pictures is that they are pretty chunky (probably >1.5" thick) so if you want to mount them on a nice VESA monitor stand they won't look good in all cases. ASUS makes great monitors so if you are looking for a nice 23" LED screen to set on your desk I would definitely recommend this model, but if you are putting together a sleek 2x1, 3x1, or 2x2 VESA arrangements of monitors I would go with a different model.
Image is very crisp and clear and is fast to turn on. The base is very sturdy. Looks great running 1080p HD Movies along with graphic-intensive games. Fantastic Monitor.
The colors are vivid and it is a very well-made monitor. Great deal for the price.
Bought this for my son. He is very pleased with it. He uses it for his design work as the monitor on his mac book was too small for his art work. His friend liked it so much that he bought some (4). Easy to set up. Recommend highly.
- Did the image onsite match the product? yes
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? yes
- How is the quality of the product? very good

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton has given the
media a glimpse of the workouts he's going through daily as he
prepares for the NFL combine and draft.
Newton threw passes and did other drills for nearly 45 minutes
at a suburban high school on Thursday. He says he's working hard
"on the whole grand scheme of playing quarterback in the NFL,"
especially taking snaps from under center. He often took snaps in
the shotgun formation as he ran the spread offense at Auburn, which
he led to the BCS national title.
Newton has been in San Diego since late January, working with
quarterbacks coach George Whitfield Jr. and receiving advice from
Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon.

Confirmed traveller
- Water, children, food and a boat – this on paper is a match made in heaven. I am a seasoned 'Explorer' and wasn't sure what to expect from this more relaxing holiday compared to the other adventures we had been on, however I needn't have worried at all. Travelling with my wife and two boys, I was absolutely gobsmacked how much we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves through the week. The children of various ages instantly bonded from the moment the crew welcomed us aboard. The combination of sailing around the Greek island of Evia stopping off at a new port each day made this tour both enjoyable yet really interesting. I'm not sure how many jumping off the boat competitions I entered, but every time I got beat by the kids – an absolutely outstanding holiday topped off by the most amazing scenery and hospitality along the way.Thanos and his crew (his family) are the most likable people you will ever come across. They bent over backwards to ensure the children were always safe when swimming or around the caique, nothing was too much trouble for them. The cook made the most amazing food in the smallest galley I have ever seen, but it hit the spot every time for both adults and children alike. Thanos is very knowledge and passionate about the Greek culture and history and is the perfect host to make history come alive each time we ventured off the boat. We will definitely be going back.

Gastric carcinoids
Most gastric carcinoids are enterochromaffin-like (ECL)-cell carcinoids; rarely, other types may occur in the stomach. (Refer to Table 1 in the Cellular and Pathologic Classification of Gastrointestinal Carcinoid Tumors section of this summary for more information.)
Type I ECL-cell gastric carcinoids, the most common type, typically do not have clinical symptoms. They are often discovered during endoscopy for reflux, anemia, or other reasons; and are typically multifocal. Occurring most commonly in women (female-to-male ratio, 2.5:1) at a mean age of 63 years, achlorhydria may be present, and hypergastrinemia or evidence of antral G-cell hyperplasia is usually found.[5,24,27] These tumors are gastrin-driven and arise in a background of chronic atrophic gastritis of the corpus, usually because of autoimmune pernicious anemia but sometimes caused by Helicobacter pylori infection.[9]
Type II ECL-cell carcinoids, the least common type of gastric carcinoids, occur at a mean age of 50 years with no gender predilection. The hypergastrinemia associated with MEN1-Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES) is thought to promote the ECL-cell hyperplasia that leads to type II tumors.[27,28]
Type I and type II ECL-cell gastric carcinoids have been reported to metastasize in fewer than 10% of cases.[27,29] Type III gastric ECL-cell carcinoids, the second most common type of gastric carcinoid, occur mostly in men (male-to-female ratio, 2.8:1) at a mean age of 55 years.[27] There are no neuroendocrine manifestations, and patients typically present with signs and symptoms related to an aggressive tumor.[5,30]
Duodenal carcinoids
Comprising only 2% to 3% of GI NETs and discovered incidentally or because of symptoms from hormonal or peptide production, duodenal carcinoids may also arise in the periampullary region, obstruct the ampulla of Vater, and produce jaundice.[3,5,31] The age at presentation varies widely (range, 19-90 years; mean age, 53 years).[15,32]
The most common duodenal carcinoids are gastrin-producing G-cell tumors (~two-thirds) followed by somatostatin-producing D-cell tumors (~one- fifth), which rarely produce systemic manifestations of somatostatin excess.[5,31,33]
Gastrin production from G-cell carcinoids (also called gastrinomas if serum gastrin levels are elevated) results in ZES in approximately one-third of the cases of duodenal G-cell tumors.[24] Although duodenal G-cell carcinoids may occur sporadically, 90% of patients with MEN1 develop them.[5] The clinical manifestations of serum gastrin elevation include:
- Nausea.
- Vomiting.
- Abdominal pain.
- Hemorrhage from multiple and recurrent peptic ulcers.
- Gastroesophageal reflux caused by excess acid production.
- Diarrhea from hypergastrinemia.

Living It Up In Zermatt, At Least a Little
By ERIC WEINBERGER
Published: March 30, 1997
I HAD done this before -- come to Zermatt in high season to ski. That was six years ago, when I had a little saved up from a winter's work in a ski shop in Austria: Five days in Zermatt, at Easter, nearly wiped me out. I stayed then at the Bahnhof hotel, opposite the station where the little train rolls in from Visp and the parking lot at Tasch (Zermatt is car-free), in an upstairs dormitory, and was kept awake by French alpinists snoring heavily throughout the night. I was uncomfortable, but it was a revelation to discover that one could do Zermatt on the cheap: 20 francs a day for a bunk bed, pasta dinners cooked in the downstairs kitchen, and 200 francs in hand for the lifts.
Six years later, the dollar is mighty, and this time I arrived with more money in my pocket. In choosing my hotel for a weekend in late February, which along with Christmas and New Year's, as well as Easter, is the traditional high season in the Alps (and when most places prefer guests to book for a week), I expected to pay more than the $81 to $97 a night I was quoted for a single room (with bath) by several three-star hotels.
In Zermatt accommodation must be selected carefully: the town sprawls within its enclosed valley; the three main ski areas are not convenient to each other; and long walks, or expensive taxi rides in electric carts, are the order of the day for those who choose poorly. The Hotel Holiday seemed the most promising: it is near the underground funicular called the Sunnegga Express, about 10 minutes on foot from the heart of town, and from the look of the piste map I could ski directly home at day's end. It was more expensive ($107, including buffet breakfast) but for that I would get a double room with a balcony view of the Matterhorn. It seemed to me the Matterhorn was worth an extra 20 francs a night.
The Matterhorn has become the cliche of Switzerland, surmounting chocolate, cow bells and the cuckoo clock, but there is nothing homely or shopworn about it. It is not the highest mountain in Europe, as many believe, or even Switzerland, or Zermatt for that matter: There are nine others in Zermatt's ring that reach higher, including Monte Rosa, at 15,203 feet the national summit. But no mountain anywhere is more instantly recognizable: a pyramid almost, with a bump on the top. It is impossibly grand and aloof and inspires the most profound reverence. Shared with Italy, which calls it Cervino, it is associated with disaster: Of those who first succeeded in climbing the Matterhorn, the party of the Englishman Edward Whymper in 1865, four of the seven fell to their deaths in the descent. But there is a peaceable side to this haughty great peak, which I felt most acutely in my hotel room, where I slept in the bed nearest the window, leaving the curtain open both nights. Under a full moon, it felt like camping, with the mountain beside me.
Most of Zermatt's slopes are within view of the Matterhorn, and so skiing here is more exciting than in other resorts. Whether being led down the glaciers by a guide or unwinding on the broadest blue runs, there it is, at your side or in front of you, and it never fails to thrill. On Saturday morning I began at Sunnegga, on a brilliant sunny day that slowly softened the snow, so that the ragged corduroy pistes on which I started were smooth by noon. The first run I took slowly, to get used to my skis, which I had rented from a store in the Bahnhofstrasse for $49 for two days (the boots were mine).
The important thing in any ski area is to locate the key lift for the greatest variety and pleasure of skiing: At Sunnegga, it's the fast Patrullarve chair to Blauherd. From the top there is a scenic blue, or easy, run (Tuftern), and a challenging black, or difficult, run that is part of the National race course, with its associated bumpy off-piste and scraggly trees. Three times I climbed higher on the tram to Rothorn, where I took a beautiful trail, Kumme, with conditions changing all day.
For lunch I drifted into the gap between Sunnegga and Gornergrat, where the Findel glacier spills out, and ate a plate of sausage, salad and rosti, or grated fried potatoes, for $13.70 at the Fluhalp restaurant. I decided to wait until my last descent for apple strudel, when my legs would be shot and I would need the extra push. I found it at Othmar's ($4.70) at Ried, a tidy cabin with a terrace perched above town, and a tepee plopped down in the snow. I discovered I could in fact ski home, though not without some difficulty -- the end a tight, crowded footpath with rolling bumps and bare patches down to the Holiday.
Zermatt is always busy. Electric taxis tootle precariously around the village's hills and bends, and the pace picks up in the late afternoon when it becomes difficult to pick your way through the crowds of the Bahnhofstrasse. After a lone beer at Grampi's ($2.50), I ducked into Zermatt's library and came across Whymper's ''Scrambles Amongst the Alps,'' reading the passage where he described Zermatt's mountain guides loitering outside the Monte Rosa hotel, ''watching new arrivals, and speculating on the number of francs which may be extracted from their pockets. They have been scorched on rocks, and roasted on glaciers. Their lips are cracked, their cheeks are swollen, their noses are peeled and indescribable.'' In Zermatt's cemetery, the guides have their own monument to their fallen colleagues, and I walked among the graves of dead mountaineers, including many with tombstones inscribed in English, notable among them a teen-ager from New York, who died in 1975 on the Breithorn. ''I chose to climb,'' his epitaph reads.

Suppose $X$ is a random variable that takes values in $[0,1].$ Is it that the probability distribution of $X$ is defined on $[0,1]$ or whole $R$?
The probability distribution is defined on the whole of $\mathbb{R}$. Also, you need to understand that, this is given by an integral or sum depending on what $X$ is, whose limits are usually taken to be from $-\infty$ to $x \in \mathbb R$.
In general, any function $F$ is a distribution function if it satisfies the following properties:
And, it can be shown that, given $F$ with above properties, there exists a probability space $(\Omega, \mathscr A, P)$ on which a random variable $X$ exists such that $X$ has $F$ as its distribution.
@Kannappan Sampath has given you all the properties of the distribution function but not really explained what the distribution function is or why it is defined for all $x$. The value of the distribution function $F(x)$ is the probability that the random variable $X$ is no larger than $x$:
For every random variable $X$, $F(x)$ is defined for all real numbers
$x$. Your particular $X$ takes on values between $0$ and $1$ only,
but we can still talk of $P\{X \leq 5\}$ and say that its value is $1$.
There is not a lot of difference.
With a probability space $(\Omega, \mathscr A, P)$, the sample space $\Omega$ must contain all possible events; whether it includes impossible ones too does not matter much so long as you are clear.
If the distribution is defined on the whole of $\mathbb{R}$ but values cannot be less than 0 or more than 1, then you can ignore both of these possibilities. If you keep them then $\Pr(X\lt 0)=0$ and $\Pr(X\gt 1)=0$.

Poverty Toppled Two Egyptian Governments And Still Persists
In the almost three years since Egyptians rose up against autocratic rule there has been one constant: lots of people are still mired in poverty and they're getting poorer. Economic social justice was a main demand of protesters in 2011 and then again in 2013 when protesters took to the streets against Mohamed Morsi. And if Egypt's new leaders don't fix the problem they may face the same problem.

Hip-Hop Legends and Trailblazers
De La Soul Celebrates 25 years and More in This Week's Pop Scene
The Clientele
Baby's All Right
146 Broadway, Brooklyn (718) 599-5800
When the first singles from London-based indie-pop band the Clientele began to emanate into the world in the late 1990s, they sounded as if they came from a bygone era. The songs of vocalist/guitarist Alasdair MacLean were swaddled in copious reverb, with a world-weary feel. With each subsequent album, more of that reverb cleared away, so that by the time of 2009's "Bonfires on the Heath," the production was lucid. The group went on hiatus in 2011, but they return to the stage for the recent rerelease of "Suburban Light," a collection of their early singles.
De La Soul
Irving Plaza
17 Irving Pl., (212) 777-6800 Wednesday
Earlier this year, Long Island hip-hop innovators De La Soul blipped back onto music fans' radars thanks to a curious strategy: They gave away their entire discography online (due to sample clearance issues, their formidable back catalog had previously languished in a legal limbo). In contrast to hip-hop's seriousness, 1989's playful classic "3 Feet High and Rising" and 1991's "De La Soul Is Dead" offered up new colors to hip-hop's increasingly monochrome palette: complex yet concise lyrics, off-kilter yet swinging beat selections and a strong sense of humor. The trio were early boosters for the likes of producer J. Dilla and rappers like Common and Mos Def. They perform tonight to celebrate their 25th anniversary.
74 Wythe Ave., Brooklyn (718) 302-5815
Confident and diligent in equal measure, Detroit-based producer Alex "Omar-S" Smith has a work ethic not unlike an automotive worker from his hometown: obsessed with precision and detail in his own music. For years, he churned out raw yet affective dance tracks on his own, below-the-radar FXHE imprint before a mix of his own productions for London's highly regarded superclub Fabric spread his music world-wide. Few electronic producers can embody both the soulful ancestry of Motown and techno machinations quite like Mr. Smith. The title of last year's full-length, "Thank You For Letting Me Be Myself," reinforced his singular talents and self-assessment.
Deltron 3030
Prospect Park Bandshell
95 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn (718) 683-5600
When their self-titled debut album was released in 2000, Deltron 3030 was an anomaly in the world of hip-hop: geeky with sci-fi references and satirical with an Afro-futurist bent. A trio of three well-regarded underground acts (DJ Kid Koala, producer Dan the Automator and Bay Area rapper Del the Funky Homosapien), Deltron continued a lineage of space-obsessed musicians ranging from George Clinton to Rammellzee. There was a decade gap between Deltron's debut and last year's decidedly darker and more dystopian follow-up, "Event II." That album featured collaborators ranging from Damon Albarn to chef David Chang, but Deltron remained a well-oiled machine after such time away.
Brody Dalle
Bowery Ballroom
6 Delancey St., (212) 533-2111
Watching the femme-fronted versions of Nirvana that performed at the recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, one couldn't help but wonder what the band might have sounded like with Brody Dalle at the helm. With a raspy, serrated voice that makes the Australian-born Ms. Dalle sound like the true progeny of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, Ms. Dalle has been one of the finer punk and hard rock vocalists of the 21st century, fronting the Distillers and Spinnerette. But after five years of silence, Ms. Dalle returned last month with her excellent debut solo album, the fierce and poised "Diploid Love." (Also Wednesday opening for Queens of the Stone Age in Port Chester, N.Y.)
