Senior Instructor of Biology Shirley Dillaman Retires After 30 Years
Senior Instructor in Biology Shirley Gildersleeve Dillaman retired this past spring after 30 years of teaching at Shenango campus. Dillaman began teaching as a part-time faculty member in the spring of 1983, and was hired full-time to teach anatomy and physiology in 1984.
During the past 30 years, Dillaman received many grants including a computer technology grant through Penn State's Project Empower Program which enabled Dillaman to develop her own "Tutorial of the Human Muscular System." She utilized this tutorial in her own classes and presented it at other Empower convocations and regional and national "Human Anatomy and Physiology" conferences. She also received several equipment grants which enabled the campus to procure new microscopes and a new $25,000 autoclave for the microbiology department.
Dillaman has been an outstanding instructor, receiving the campus' prestigious Riforgiato Teacher of the Year award on three occasions, the highest number of times for any instructor at the campus. The biology coordinator at University Park remarked that she had the highest "Student Ratings of Teacher Effectiveness" of any faculty in the biology department throughout the Penn State System. Over the years, she served as a member of the campus' Faculty Senate Committee, as well as several faculty and staff search committees, and numerous accreditation processes for Shenango's Physical Therapist Assistant Program.
Outside of campus, Dillaman was invited to speak at several events, including numerous Sharon Regional School of Nursing's graduation ceremonies. She is on the advisory board for the Mercer County Career Center and is an active member of the National Human Anatomy and Physiology Society, in whose journal she was published. She continues to review anatomy and physiology manuscripts for several publishing companies. She also published a Photographic Atlas for Human Anatomy, which is presently being used at the Shenango campus and other local universities and colleges.
Over the years Dillaman has donated her time to present workshops for elementary and high school students, in an effort to improve their appreciation of, and interest in, science. She has also spoken to new instructors on how best to teach adult students. Dillaman states that she tries to create an atmosphere of mutual respect in the classroom.
"Most of my students are adult learners. I attempt to build their confidence in themselves, and I make myself available to help them. I know that it takes courage and stamina to go to school, while working and raising children. My courses are difficult, and I expect a lot from my students, but I am always fair, and they know exactly what I require of them."
Many of her students have written that she is the best teacher they have ever had. "Her passion for both biology and teaching came across in every lecture and lab." "Her teaching skills are unparalleled. It is obvious how much she lives and breathes what she teaches." "She delivers her lectures with enthusiasm, personality, and a caring attitude." "She impacted me in such an enormous way both as a student and a human being. She gave me the confidence to push myself to achieve my goals."
Dillaman completed her undergraduate studies in biology at Slippery Rock College where she graduated Summa Cum Laude and first in her class. She went on to Cleveland State University graduating Summa Cum Laude with a master of education in biology. She and her husband, Glenn, reside in Grove City, Pennsylvania.

BOARDMAN - Drilling, construction, servicing and other value-added business linked to the coming natural gas shale drilling boom is projected to multiply nearly 30 times from 2011 to 2014.
The number of workers to drill wells, install transmission pipes and maintain roads or bridges is expected to surge by nearly the same percentage, with huge increases in labor income, along with local and state taxes.
But businesses planning to get a piece of what is seen as eastern Ohio's greatest economic boost since coal mining and steelmaking first need to get trained and certified, a group of speakers said Wednesday.
"If businesses have the ability and desire to expand into the shale play, they need to make the right connections and abide by regulations and standards," Linda Woggon, executive director of the Ohio Shale Coalition, said before speaking at the Regional Chamber's first Shale Supply Chain Seminar at Mr. Anthony's in Boardman.
The seminar kicked off what the shale coalition intends to be a series of such events in Ohio to inform local leaders about getting involved in natural gas shale exploration and processing.
A prime message was the need to get certified by the American Petroleum Institute, or API, and International Organization for Standardization, or ISO, in order to be considered for lucrative contracts.

Study results
Following are findings of a Utica Shale economic impact study done for the Ohio Shale Coalition by Cleveland State University, Ohio State University and Marietta College:
Value added economic impact:
2011: $162.03 million
2014: $4.858 billion
2011: 2,275
2014: 65,680
Labor income:
2011: $99.76 million
2014: $3.299 billion
2011: $291.57 million
2014: $9.642 billion
Total state / local taxes:
2011: $16.52 million
2014: $433.530 million
Average labor income:
2011: $43,850
2014: $50,225
"Companies that make and service pipe, pumps, valves, cementing have to put in quality management systems, like ISO documentation," said Ed Durante, president and chief executive officer of Houston based Texas International Engineering Consultants. "They need the ability to come up with designs, validate them and go through audits."
He noted some companies overreact and put in quality and management systems that become too complicated.
"They need efficient programs," he said.
Xavier Tison, business unit manager for drilling service company FMC Technologies near Pittsburgh, said his company is looking to hire 30 to 50 direct employees who have business management skills, as well as training in hydraulics and mechanics.
He said he'd like to hire locally, noting, "It's hard to take someone from Texas and make them live where it snows."
A study done by Cleveland State University, Ohio State University and Marietta College found that workers in the Utica Shale, which includes much of eastern Ohio, will rise from 2,275 in 2011 to 65,680 in 2014.
Average labor income will increase to $50,225 from $43,850. Total state and local taxes will rise from $16.52 million to $433.53 million.
Jobs will be created not only in the drilling fields but in construction of natural gas processing plants, road and bridge work, legal services and the retail sector.

Up for review we have four AirPlay enabled apps, designed with your Apple TV 2 in mind.
First we have Camera for Apple TV. Obviously, it's an app that displays the live view of your iPhone's camera on the big screen, though there is a bit of delay. I have trouble seeing what this $2 app can do for the average user, besides providing young children with entertainment. Sure you could display something for others to look at, but couldn't you also show them the item? They are, after all, probably in the same room as you.

I have a 5 yr old Neapolitan Mastiff who has had no luck on his back legs, as he is a big boy... He has suffered with arthritis for around 8 months and has been on non -steroidals from the Vet.. I tried this product when i went to the USA on holiday and brought it him back, today i have ordered a gallon tub, i took 3 weeks and now he's playing with my other dog (bull mastiff) and running around with showing little sign of any discomfort. I doubled the does for week one and then standard does of 15mls after that which was relevant for his size. can't thank you enough :-) Lorraine - UK
I have a 7 year old Basset Hound that was having problems getting up on her hind legs and had trouble stepping up on a street curb. after a year of vet visits and anti inflamitory meds as well as pill for Gloucosimine/condroiton she was no better. After one week on the Finish Line product she was getting up and walking normally. At the 3 week point she was climbing up 15 steps to the second floor of the house and running again for the first time in a year.
I have not found this product locally since Petsmart closed the EQ department

Evans voters were unimpressed with three out of four issues on the ballot that sought to change city code.
With 87 percent of eligible Weld County voters casting ballots, only the last measure on the Evans ballot — Issue 2D — won approval, while the other measures failed. In Fort Lupton, Issue 2A passed.
» Issue 2A: 3,600 voted against the measure, and 1,830 voted for it. The measure asked voters to remove the requirement that the city manager live in Evans. Mayor Lyle Achziger said the council did not want to be limited in its future hiring choices.
» Issue 2B, which would have removed the requirement that the city council appoint the city clerk, failed, with 2,168 votes in favor and 3,106 votes against it. Evans officials said the appointment process is obsolete because the city clerk is not a department head position, meaning he or she reports to the city manager or deputy city manager — not the city council.
» Issue 2C aimed to eliminate the appointment requirement for the Evans treasurer. The measure failed, with 3,218 votes against it and 2,046 votes for it. City officials said the position is obsolete because the finance director is in charge of all things money-related, and reports directly to the city manager.
» Issue 2D, which establishes a $1 million ceiling for the city's emergency fund, was the only measure to pass, with 3,036 votes for the measure and 2,183 votes against it. When Evans officials analyzed how much they should put aside for emergencies, they found that $1 million would be sufficient, and would free up extra money for the city's budget.
» In Fort Lupton, ballot question 2A overwhelmingly passed with 1,577 votes, compared to 712 votes against the measure. The measure extends city council members' terms to four years instead of two years.

Out of The Campfire Into The Oven: S'Mores Piebellalimento
There is just something about a s'more that brings out the kid in me. The toasted marshmallow, the melted chocolate, the crunch of the graham cracker. You put them together and it's bliss. We love them so much, we eat them year round, we've even grilled marshmallows in our wood burning fireplace, over our gas stove, and made them in the microwave in a pinch. So naturally a s'mores pie would be the next logical step ; ) And it couldnt' be easier. I started with making the graham cracker crust and baking it until golden. Then I poured in the filling {chocolate pudding and whipped cream} and popped it into the fridge to set up overnight. Then right before we were ready to serve we plunked on the marshmallows and put her under the broiler to toast up.
You could even take more shortcuts and use a pre-made graham cracker crust and use pre-packaged pudding {you'd need 8 snack packs for that}
What you'll need:
1 sleeve of honey graham crackers – 9 crackers
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
pinch salt
7 tablespoons unsalted butter – melted
1 large package of chocolate pudding {+ ingredients to make}
8 ounces whipped cream topping
10 ounces marshmallows
What to do:
1. Place graham crackers into food processor and pulse until they are crumb like. Add: cinnamon, sugar, salt. Pulse to combine.
2. Spray your pie pan {or tart pan} generously with cooking spray. Place crumbs into pan and then pour in melted butter. Mix together with fork and then press crust into sides of pan.
3. Bake crust at 350 degrees for approximately10 minutes until crust is firm. Set aside to cool.
4. WHILE crust is baking, mix together your pudding. Mix whipped cream with pudding. Pour filling into baked cooled crust. Place into refrigerator to set up for a minimum of four hours or until firm.
5. Top with marshmallows. Place under broiler {with oven door open} until marshmallows have toasted. This only takes a minute or so {don't walk away}

Miss America's Sgt. Theresa Vail Is First Contestant to Expose Tattoos
Once the competition's preliminaries begin in Atlantic City, N.J., on Tuesday, Sept. 10, Vail will be the second contestant in the military to compete (Miss Utah 2007 was a combat medic in the Army National Guard).
But when she struts down Boardwalk Hall in her bikini, she'll be breaking a long-standing taboo with her two giant tattoos – the insignia for the U.S. Army Dental Corps on her left shoulder and the Serenity Prayer running down her right side.
"Why am I choosing to bear my tattoos?" Vail says. "My whole platform is empowering women to overcome stereotypes and break barriers. What a hypocrite I would be if I covered my ink. How can I tell other women to be fearless and true to themselves if I can't do the same? I am who I am, tattoos and all."

Nine months ago, when she entered her very first beauty pageant (her commanding officer thought she'd be a great role model), she planned to demonstrate archery for her talent. Two days before the competition, she was told "projectile objects" were forbidden, so she had no choice but to either drop out or hustle up a new talent.
"I'd never sung opera in my life," Vail says. "I had an appreciation for it" – she spent part of her childhood in Europe – "and I sang soprano in choir back in high school, but I hadn't sung since then and certainly never opera."
Courtesy of Teresa Vail
"I've worked with five former Miss Kansas contestants and I've never seen anyone this focused and determined," says Kim Brom, business manager for the Miss Kansas pageant. "She has so many different qualities – she's a hunter, she's in the military, she's fluent in Chinese, she's very educated and, even more than that, she has that unquantifiable star quality."
Her InspirationVail joined the Kansas Army National guard three weeks after she turned 17. And even though she recently re-enlisted for six more years, she's now a senior at Kansas State University with a double major in Chinese and chemistry. She loves the outdoors and has been an avid hunter since she was 10.
"Nobody expects a soldier to be a beauty queen," Vail says, "but I'm all about breaking stereotypes."
Another thing she's "all about" is empowering women.

She adds, "I want to help them develop confidence, to let them know that they have what it takes to accomplish anything they want to accomplish. I know many young girls look at beauty candidates and think, 'What a perfect life they have.' But I want them to know that I haven't led a perfect life. And that beauty comes from the inside."

A TV Show that pits amateur dancers against each other in head to head competition. Hosted by Kel Mitchell and Fredro Starr and with DJ K-Sly dropping some fresh hip hop beats, its an insane combination of attitude, humor, and wild dance moves. It's pretty funny to watch really.

Whoa. I guess when you float it as much as you Ernie, you learn every rock, riffle and trout lie. As a wader, the Yough is a huge question mark on consistency for me.
Streams such as the Lil J and Spring are obviously much more productive for day-in and day out fishing. However, your use of the term "quality fish" might bring it closer to reality for me. No other cold water fish, save steelhead, fight like a big Yough bow in heavy current. Hooking a fish in this river is only half the battle.

I haven't fished the Yough in a few years. Never caught a lot of fish but always got into a few. I'll never forget fighting a big fish for quite some time before my 5x tippet broke. Encountered a sparse bwo hatch once in the fall and caught fish on top. Swinging caddis soft hackles has worked for me too on other occasions. One thing no one mentioned is the sheer beauty of the place. The stretch between Ramcat and Ohiopyle has some absolutely stunning scenery especially as fall sets in. If I still lived in SW PA I would fish it regularly.

I am beginning to get the impression that I need to float this river over wading it. Just gotta put a drift boat on the to do list now..or fish out of my canoe I guess. I would need an inflatable one though, cause my car doesnt have a hitch.
Until then, i am going to keep plugging away. I love being on that river, I just wish it loved me half as much. There are spiders the size of your hand on those bank boulders, poison ivy everywhere, stubborn fish and access is remote/difficult as hell. All part of the reasons I admire the river though. When you fish the yough, you better tighten up your laces, because 80% of that river is not for the faint of heart or less enthused. Ive had many days where I spent hours on the river and didnt see or hear a single human being. Not too many places anymore where you can be in that scenery and feel that at peace. Still, this always creates the question, "why am i not banging fish right now, if this stretch is rarely fished?". I fish a local ww creek, and some spots are so unpressured because of their difficult access/nobody fishes the creek anyways, that its no biggie for me to catch 20 smalles between 12-16" in 2-4 hours of fishing. I could go fish that stream with your child's first self-tied fly and hammer smallies. I just wish the same were true for parts of the yough.

pwk -
I've never float fished the yough. And I've still caught plenty of fish there - drys only of course.
As with many other things - timing is the key. If the cfs is over 1,000, I don't even go there. But under that flow rate - game on!
And this has been a great year for wading it. In 4-5 trips there this summer, I've had flows of 600 to 800 cfs. Had no problem reaching risers. I can even easily cross to the other side at my favorite holes at those levels.
As for getting into the long stretches between access points - floating is a great way to do that for sure.
But biking along that nice trail is another nice option too. And that's what I do.
And it has some advantages over floating that I like. I don't need to go down there with 2 vehicles to shuttle. A big plus for me - I often fish there on weekdays by myself.
Floating is a one way ticket - but with my bike, I can zip back and forth between the various holes no problem.
And, I can stay put to fish the evening rise at my favorite holes, and still be back to the car in 30 minutes or so. Floaters have to be on their merry way, unless they want a long drift out in the dark. You don't really want to do that on the yough.
Just something else to consider

My bike is in the back of my truck. I'll hit Ohiopyle this afternoon (it takes about an hour and fifteen minutes for me to get there) and I'm going to let the Youghs' water wash away a tough weeks worth of work. I hope my parachute hopper will do its thing. Dry fly fishin' is the only to go.

Hit the Yough over the weekend. Spent the first hour of daylight trying to figure out what the fish were rising to. Violent rises all along the shoreline on the flats below Confluence. Nothing but tiny olive spinners in the current. Finally gave up on dries/emergers, figuring it had to be bait-fish they were slashing at. Swung streamers on a sink tip and managed a half doz rainbows and a couple decent smallies in about an hour. 2 of the rainbows being 18+ on successive cast. Missed more than I caught.

The Tribune Review had a feature recently on the Yough in the Outdoors section. They refer to the Yough as the "Madison of the East"...

Nice! Thanks Albie. Good to see news about any stream or river improving, especially in western PA, where finding a place for year-round trout fishing is tough. Also good to see SMBs are thriving too.

I have know idea how they would shock the wide open flats of the river in reference to the Trib article. Most of the fish would spook once you get within 15-20 feet, especially if your not in stealth mode. According to the article they found 1 trout between Ramcat and the Casselman in 1994. This year 2 trout. I know it's just a sample, but that is crazy.
I've walked the banks and could count dozens of trout in certain sections. Many being 18"+. At the right time of a hatch you could see 20+ rising trout in certain areas. I started fishing that river 22 years ago by canoe and wading and have landed over half of my largest stream caught trout from the Yough. The fish are larger and more numerous now than 22 years ago.
A part of me wants the river to be recognized for the great river that it has become, but in the back of my mind I like it the way it is. (Except that I believe it should be catch and release from the Casselman to Ohiopyle.)

There are no trout in the Yough. Everyone should really stay away from this fishery
Seriously though, one of my favorite places to fish. It gets a little hectic in the summer below Ohiopyle with the kayakers/rafters, etc. For the most part, they are respectful and share the river, but i've had my share of kayakers oblivious to the fact that i'm fishing 5 yards from them. Can get a little annoying, but it's just one of those things I guess.

The article stated they shocked ONE spot between Ramcat and Casselman. One spot on such a massive river with wary trout that simply swim away from boats, those numbers are understandable. But again that was in 1994.... 18 years ago. Are you kidding me? It has changed drastically since then. (For the better.)
A part of me wants the river to stay the way it is... challenging. If it becomes too fishable, easier to figure out, more popular, it will lose some of its mystery. For me, that's important. That's why I love that damned water.

According to the article they found 1 trout between Ramcat and the Casselman in 1994. This year 2 trout.
Then Statistically there are TWICE as many fish (trout) in the Yough in that section as in '94. I'd love to believe that. LOL! But mostly, i think, it is a river that IS getting better, and I'm gonna keep doing my own study to see just how much better its gonna get!

I've read that report, too. I wonder about the PFBC, though, and how accurate their reports are.
For instance, I ran into a guy from there this summer at a gas station in the morning. He saw the drift boat and came over to say hello and asked where we were fishing. I told him the Yough and he wanted more specificity because he'd been electro-shocking the river. I told him where we were putting in and he said to me that there were very few trout in that section of river. "Not a fishable population" were his exact words.
I thought he must have been joking or mistaken. But he wasn't. I was actually a bit worried. I hadn't been fishing this piece of river because of the low, warm water, but things had changed and I had decided to give it go. So I drove there thinking that maybe the heat or something else had caused a kill this summer. Needless to say, this PFBC guy who was in charge of counting fish on the river was absolutely wrong. Not even in the ballpark.
It was a bluebird day, but in spite of that, after seven hours of fishing, we still put over thirty trout ranging in size from 7-20 inches in the boat So any report that comes out of the FBC on the river is automatically suspect in my opinion. If anyone works for them and would like to comment, feel free. But that that information is going to come out in an official report and that someone got paid to be that incompetent is criminal. Is the whole organization that ineffectual?
As for fertility, if we're using that word to describe hatch density, then no, the river does not compare to some of the better hatch streams and rivers across the state. That being said, there are plenty of bugs, baitfish, crayfish, aquatic annelids, freshwater shrimp, and sowbugs in the river to maintain a nice population of trout and bass that grow to exceptional size.
There are hatches, and they generally come off like clockwork every day at the same time, and you can find trout eating every stage of that particular bug if you know when and where to look.
I don't know many people who've spent more time than myself chasing trout on the Yough. Is it a hard river to learn? Definitely. I learn new things about it constantly. And fishing being what it is, there are going to be tough days. But I personally haven't fished any other Pennsylvania trout water that is more productive in terms of quality fish on a day in, day out basis than the Yough.
That's all.
Ernie couldn't be more spot on with this reply. Are there day's when the Yough might stump even the most educated angler? Of course, but what stream doesn't? This past spring/summer on the Yough gave me some of the best fishing experiences that rivaled any good day I've had on a Central Pa stream....heck any stream I've ever fished and I've fished quite a few ( 4 years at PSU Main missing classes for hatches) What everyone is forgetting here is that 2 years ago the State had an excess of 25,000 fingerlings that were 7-9 inches instead of the dinkie 3-5 inchers they usually put in mass quantity on the Yough. That year not only did they stock their typical 250,000 some 3-5 inchers but sometime that summer they dumped an additional 25,000 that were slightly bigger. Well.....anyone that has fished the Yough this year (and caught fish) would notice an abundance of 14-16 rainbows that were identical to each other. Those were the fish from 2 years ago, they grew to that size in just 2 years. Call me stupid but the survival rate for a trout at 7-9 inches is going to be A LOT higher then the little guys they typically put in. Instead of stocking 250,000 little guys why not put in 100,000 of the 7-9 fish, make it 1 trout over 20 inches a day (similar to the San Juan) and you have yourself a World Class Fishery. The buglife is there....even at the damn you have a consistant BWO hatch most nights...the further down you go toward Ohiopyle the more bugs you get. The dry fly fishing was spectacular most of the season and sounds like it is picking up again. There were more fish this year then any other year in recent memory....this naturally creates more competition for food. The results were staggering.....Mayfly hatches I've scene in the past that went "Uneaten" were all of a sudden getting sucked in one by one on a daily basis by juicy 14-16 inch rainbows....because of the higher fish counts creating the competition for food! Even though I watched countless people taking way too many fish out of the Trophy Trout section this summer it sounds like a good amount of those 14-16 inch trout survived. Hopefully in the next few months a few of the guide services will be able to speak their mind to the Game Commision and open their eyes to the Potential of this Great River and manage it the way it deserves to be managed. As far as the report goes that recently came out........WOW what a laughing stock, maybe they should of concentrated on the riffles where trout like to go when oxygen levels are low :)

If it's true that, as the movie title said, "all dogs go to heaven," a Redmond man's German shorthaired pointer named Hunter had an express pass when he passed away recently -- just a week before he was to be inducted into the Oregon Animal Hall of Fame for helping save the life of his owner's girlfriend.
Scott Tate, who's had dogs all his life, says he had to be convinced by a veterinarian and his friends to seek the honor – and only did so, so long as the focus and the honor was Hunter's, not his.
Each year, the Oregon Veterinary Medical Association and the Oregon Animal Health Foundation honor animals who, through unselfish and courageous accomplishments, exemplify the affection, loyalty, security, public service and value of the human-animal bond, the organizations said.
The Oregon Animal Hall of Fame™ is the second-longest running awards program among veterinary organizations in the country. Since the program was started in 1988, the OVMA and the OAHF have recognized dogs, cats, an animal welfare group, a horse therapy group, horses -- and one llama.
The worthy animals were inducted into the Oregon Animal Hall of Fame™ during the Oregon Veterinary Conference, the OVMA's annual meeting and educational conference, in Corvallis on March 9.
Here's the award nomination from Dr. Karen Laidley of Cinder Rock Veterinary Clinic in Redmond:
Hunter was but a puppy when Scott Tate brought the German Shorthaired Pointer into his home in 2005.
From the outset of their lives together, Scott noticed Hunter's joy and love for everyone the he came in contact with. And as Hunter developed and started to mature, he had an uncanny knack for recognizing when someone was down or needed a little extra attention and love.
By the time Hunter was three years old, his nightly ritual was to curl up next to Scott's bed and spend the night on the floor next to his owner. Scott has always been a deep sleeper but, one night, Hunter, in an attempt to awaken Scott, pulled him with such force that he nearly pulled him out of the bed.
Hunter was shaking uncontrollably and whining, and would not leave Scott alone. Frustrated with his dog's behavior, Scott turned on a bedside lamp and saw his girlfriend, Jamie, in the throes of a grand mal seizure. Scott immediately dialed 911, while Hunter jumped onto the bed and lay by Jamie's side.
When Jamie's seizure subsided, Scott realized that she was not breathing and started to perform CPR on her. As he recalls that night, he also clearly remembers that Hunter never left Jamie's side – not when she began and continued to convulse, and not when Scott began resuscitating his girlfriend. Even when Jamie's seizure caused her to bang hard into Hunter, the dog didn't flinch and remained next to her. Hunter kept Jamie from falling off the bed.
When the paramedics arrived, Scott led them into the bedroom, where Hunter was emitting loud whines and licking Jamie's face. According to Scott, she had stopped breathing for a second time.
The paramedics stabilized Jamie, and it was later determined that she had epilepsy.
Without Hunter's persistence and determination to awaken Scott, it is possible that Jamie could have died. While Scott and the paramedics were able to medically assist Jamie, in Scott's eyes, Hunter is the real hero.
Sadly, Hunter was euthanized two weeks ago after a diagnosis of advanced hemangiosarcoma (a fast-growing form of cancer).
"They'd say, 'Celebrate this,' and I'd say, 'Come on – he can't read.' It's important to focus on Hunter – it's not about me. The most important thing is to celebrate the achievement or recognize his effort," Tate, 43, said Saturday night. "Though I may have done the CPR on Jamie, the recognition was his to take."
Tate said he and Jamie, who has moved on and married, have remained "really good friends," and agreed Hunter deserved the special honor, "to celebrate Hunter." And so, just last fall, Tate told Laidley what had happened back in 2008, setting the events in motion.
The timing -- a sudden illness, and a surgery that tried to save him -- made the honor's timing very bittersweet.
"It was very rough" to lose Hunter, he said. "It was very hard that he died a week before (the award was to be given). It wasn't a question of finances. They (the veterinarian and staff) took care of doing everything they could to save Hunter's life."
In his grief, Tate did not attend what an OVMA spokeswoman said nevertheless was a "very touching ceremony" last weekend. And now he's decided the award should be displayed at Cinder Rock Vet Clinic, where, like so many vet clinics, so many beloved pets' are cared for and lives are saved – that is, when they can be.
Tate explained why the vet clinic was the right place for the honor given to the special dog that slept and stayed beside him from the day he brought him home as a puppy.
"I guess what I want people to understand is, when you go to the vet with a family pet, you're faced sometimes with some awful tough choices," he said. "I would hate to think – I have the resources, but that somebody would say, 'Put my dog down because I can't afford (the treatment).' Money should never be an obstacle to saving something's life."
"The second thing is just for people to say, 'My dog is important to me.' Really take a look at the dog in their house," he said. "When you've had a rough day at work, you get home and your dog drops a tennis ball at your feet to play – that act right there is enough. I think it's really important. A man's best friend – there's a reason they are called that."
If Hunter heard someone come in the door of their home, he'd bring them a new toy, to show and to share, Tate said.

True to its name, craft beer is most certainly a honed craft. And few know this better than Garrett Oliver. After a hobbyist fascination with creating rich, flavorful craft beers at home bloomed into full-blown brewing passion, Oliver worked his way from assistant at the now-closed Manhattan Brewing Company to Brewmaster at the beloved Brooklyn Brewery�a brewery routinely ranked as one of the world�s best. Now revered as the "go-to beer guy," Oliver even took the role as editor-in-chef of the Oxford Companion to Beer. So who better to shake down for home brewing advice? In the following interview, we tapped Oliver for his story, some priceless advice on making home-brewed craft beers, his personal favorites and a few hints on what�s in store for Brooklyn Brewery (Hint: Things are going international). Relish: Do you recall a distinct "lightbulb" moment when you decided to pursue brewing as a career? Garrett Oliver: Actually, sort of, kind of, yes. When I was home brewing, I had a day where I went in to see Mark Witte, who was the Brewmaster at Manhattan Brewing Company back in 1989�And I said, �How are things going?� And he said, �Well, things are about to get a lot tougher now that my assistant is leaving.� And that was pretty much the moment. I virtually grabbed him by the collar and said I wanted the job. Now, of course I had no idea what that entailed, and a few weeks later my income had dropped by 75%, and I was in the middle of summer in a room full of boiling liquid with no air conditioning. And this is what I had asked for, you know, and I�m sure the same thing happens to people who decide that they want to cook professionally�The real life doesn�t look much like the hobby, in the same way that cooking at home doesn�t really resemble in any way cooking in a restaurant kitchen. That was the serendipitous moment where I made the decision in probably about five seconds that this was a leap I wanted to take. R: What are your top words of advice for someone who�d like to start brewing their own beer? GO: There are some good books out there. There�s one called How to Brew by John Palmer, which I hear is good. Charlie Papazian�s The Complete Joy of Home Brewing is considered a classic...The online community for home brewing is very large. There is, of course, the American Homebrewer�s Association, which is a big organization that�s full of info for starting home brewers. The biggest thing I would say is�join a local club. There are home brewing clubs, and going to meetings is always fun. You get to meet people who are in your hobby, and by talking to them [more experienced home brewers], you can really remove years of trial and error. R: What is the most difficult part about getting a craft beer right at home? GO:�The home brewer, depending on his or her point of view, might want consistency, or they might just want something that�s really tasty. In which case, I think the challenge really is to make something that�s balanced and has good structure to it. Beer should be fun and interesting to drink. I don�t think it�s very interesting to make a beer that is gratuitously challenging. For example, you see people who are trying to make the strongest beer, or the bitterest beer, or something like that. Which is kind of like cooking a stew, and trying to make the saltiest stew anyone�s ever had...The goal of any brewer really should be to make something that�s delicious, and if you�re not going to do that, there�s really not much point. Relish: What is your favorite beer to brew at home? GO: I haven�t actually brewed much at home for a couple of decades now, but when I was home brewing, I was particularly an aficionado of stouts, often with some fun ingredients. R: Do you have a favorite beer of the moment? Not necessarily one you�ve brewed, just one you really love right now. GO: There are really so many things that are in my head�we�re opening a brewery in Sweden, in Stockholm, and probably the best beer that I�ve had recently was by a tiny little brewery in Sweden called Brekeriet. It�s three brothers who are making beers that are mostly fermented by wild yeast, and they�re funky, they�re sour, and they�re real throwbacks to the way a lot of beers used to taste hundreds of years ago. Among beer geeks like myself, you�ll find that what are referred to broadly as �sours� are very much on our minds. I had a couple of glasses of a beer called Fritz Briem 1809 Berlinerweisse, and I�ve had it before, but it�s probably still my favorite beer that�s come out in the last 5 years or so. He [Professor Fritz Briem] is basically making this old style of Berlin beer, which is a sour wheat beer the way Napoleon would have found it when he wrote about it in 1809 and called it the "Champagne of the North." [caption id="attachment_319880" align="aligncenter" width="493"] Eric Ottaway, Fredrik Vogel & Garrett Oliver with new gear[/caption] R: Why did you choose Stockholm to open your new extension of Brooklyn Brewery? GO: We�ve been there many, many times and for a great many years. We love Sweden. We have great partners in Stockholm, which is a brilliant city, and it was just a great opportunity. The brewery is right there in these beautiful old buildings on the water at a harbor right in the middle of Stockholm. People said, �Hey, do you want to join us in this thing?� and we looked at it and said, �Duh!� It wasn�t too hard to figure out.

A Toronto man has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of trying to bring a minor over the border to work as a prostitute.
D'Shawn Rose, 20, faces arraignment on single counts of transporting an individual to engage in prostitution, inducing an individual to travel to engage in prostitution and transporting a minor to engage in prostitution.
U.S. Attorney William Hochul Jr. said if convicted of the charges, Rose faces a mandatory minimum penalty of 10 years in prison and maximum penalty of life, as well as a fine of up to $250,000.
Hochul and Assistant U.S. Attorney Edward H. White said that several months ago, Rose was dropped at the Peace Bridge with an underage girl he had driven with from Toronto. Authorities said Rose was planning to fly with the girl from Buffalo to Las Vegas, where she was supposed to engage in prostitution for Rose.

Ive got a two year old yellow lab that is the first dog I have trained. I had him trained well and he made several great retreives this season but had a hard time sitting still which I was expecting from a dog just over a year old(he just turned 2 so he was much younger during the season). Everything was pointing towards him turning into a solid duck dog once he settled down. About 2 weeks ago I took him down to the lake to work on him and on his first retrieve he stepped right on a yellow jackets nest. I didnt notice the bees until he had gotten back to shore. He got stung badly in his face, ears, and legs and was in a lot of pain. I let him relax for about a week and got rid of the nest. I brought him back down to the lake a week later and he refused to get in the water at our normal training spot (where the nest was). so i took him to several different spots and he would not get in the water. I even got in to try to get him to swim with me and he refused. I took him to other lakes and ponds and he would get in the water but refused to get anywhere near his dummy. He still gets excited when i pull the dummy out at the house and looks eager to retrieve but as soon as it hits the water he wants no part of it. Ive tried using every dummy I have dead fowl, canvas, and rubber in orange and white and he wont touch it. Even on land retrieves he wont go near it. Do any of yall have advice for a novice dog trainer? Im tired of doing my dogs job and retrieving the dummy on my own i think my neighbors are laughing at me.

At two years of age I would recruit a helper. There are many benefits to having a helper throw marks for you and there are many disadvantages to throwing the marks yourself. I would have the dog by my side while a gunner yelled in an excited voice "HEY, HEY, HEY" and then the gunner would shoot a gun multiple times and throw a hooded live duck. As soon as the bird hit the water I would send him/her. If this did not work I would get my waders on and get in the water with the dog.
Have you thrown marks on land? How does he/she react on land?
Have you done your basics? Force to the pile?
If your dog previously had a good water attitude, this should not be a big deal, but every time you get a "no go" you are creating a really bad habit.

He was fine on land and water before the incident. Ive gotten in the water at my lake before before and tried to call him in but he just whimpers on the bank. When ive taken him to other lakes he will get in but he is very shy and timid. I dont want to force him in the water but do you think i should try this just to show him that it is ok? The big thing is that he seems afraid of his dummy as if he associates the dummy with getting stung by the bees. Like i said ive tried different dummies on land and water and he wont go near it.

He was fine on land and water before the incident.
I posted a reply this morning but to my amazement
it was not on here so I will try again.
You need to find out how he is now on land before you go to the water. It is easier to work on issues on land before you go to water.
This is not meant to pick on you so please do not take it that way. Hopefully, someone will learn from your problem. You are a good example of how proper basics can give you the tools to fix a problem quickly. If you had force fetched the dog properly, you should be able to throw a dummy on the ground and command "fetch". If he the refuses, just the act of grabbing the collar and his ear should get him diving for the dummy. If you collar fetched you could command "fetch" nick and repeat the "fetch" command. If you did your force to the pile, you could have commanded "sit" then a nick and heel forward and then he should go.
I will assume you didn't force fetch your dog. I eschew people who elect not to FF their dog. JK . I had to say that after reading the fricking Milner article in the last DU magazine where he states that he eschews force fetch. If you did not FF your dog, I would do what I mentioned in my previous post. The only difference is that I would have a helper shoot and throw a duck (preferably a live one) on land. I would send the dog as soon as the bird hits the ground. If this goes well, I would switch to a dummy. Then I would go to water and repeat the process with a live duck and finally a dummy.
You mentioned in your first sentence that your dog is not steady. This is not the time to work on this issue.
Hopefully this will make sense to you.

The big thing is that he seems afraid of his dummy as if he associates the dummy with getting stung by the bees.
You've hit the nail on the head with this statement most likely. He doesn't know any better. He probably got stund on his way to, picking it up, and on his way back with the dummy. He is more than likely now associating all dummies with bee stings! It will be up to you to help him get over this.
PB gave you some great advice with a hooded or shackled live bird. If you can't get a duck, get a pheasant, chuckar, pigeon, something to give him the thought of more pleasure/excitement than the stings and a live bird will generally do that for you. Hopefully he isn't associating the whole act of retrieving with the bee stings (thus PB's post about FF). If that fails, does he have a favorite toy, frisbee, ball, etc that he just can't refuse retrieving, that he begs you to throw for him? Has that behavior changed? Start with that. You may even have to start in the house or garage with it but that is pretty extreme.
Treat the water with ease at first. Let him reach it from shore and get comfortable with that, then ankles, then knees, etc..
I had my 3 yr BLM get stung by stepping on a ground nest while going to the water for a retrieve when he was around 4 months old. We worked through it. You can as well but every refusal you get right now cements it that much further into him.

I am in no way an expert dog trainer, just training my first lab, so take my suggestion however you want. I'd try going to a 100% new location that he has never retrieved at before and try it there. Sometimes a new location gets a dog excited and puts a little extra drive in them. I took my pup to a new location when his retrieving became stagnant and he failed to progress. Once he was in the new location it was night and day difference in his retrieving and obedience. I now your dog is struggling from fear and mine was probably struggling from boredom but a new location did wonders for my pup.

For nearly a decade, Charlie Selkirk and her husband, Lance, have been vacationing at West Maui's Napili Point. One of the highlights of their stay is snorkeling next to honu or turtles at the nearby Honokeana Cove.
"To see those turtles come up so close, it's the most exciting and enjoyable activity I've ever done in my life," said Charlie Selkirk, 67, who is legally blind and can make out only large shapes from a close distance.
But in recent months, easy access to the cove has been cut off. Visiting beachgoers like the Selkirks used to be able to walk straight down to the beach by cutting through the lobby area of oceanfront Honokeana Cove Resort Condominiums. But about a month ago, the resort put up gates that require an access code, which prevents nonguests from walking through private property.
Article Photos
Walkers and snorkelers explore Honokeana Cove on Wednesday afternoon. Visitors to the cove used to be able to walk through the Honokeana Cove Resort Condominiums for easier access. But about a month ago, the resort put in a private gate because of the large volume of people walking through the private property and the abuse of its property, said Su Campos, rental manager of the resort.
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
"For many years, I did not want gates going up because it's not aloha, but in the past few years we had so many trespassers abuse our property," said Honokeana Cove Resort Condominiums Rental Manager Su Campos.
Beachgoers are "dropped off by the busloads" and cut through the private resort's property to get to the cove, all the while sitting on chairs, using the swimming pool and showers, even setting up picnics in the courtyard area, said Campos.
"I've been here for 20 years and it hasn't been a problem, but in the past couple of years so many people come . . . and blatantly abuse our property," said Campos. "The sad thing is that those kind of people have spoiled it for everybody."
With beach access via the resort cut off, the only way to get to the coveted cove is to swim over or to climb over from neighboring Napili Point, which can be a problem for elderly or disabled vacationers like the Selkirks.
"Napili Point access is rough and jagged. You have to be young," said Mrs. Selkirk. "And with my vision, I can't do that."
While public access to shorelines is a valued right in Hawaii, the landowner may legally erect the gates, as long as the structures are located on their own property. According to Campos, the gates are "totally legal."
She said before putting up the gates, she did try to contact County Council members last year to find a viable option, possibly in a stretch of land located south of the condominiums, that would still allow the public to access Honokeana Cove.
"The county has gotten a free ride all these years because people have been walking through our property," said Campos. "The county needs to step up to the plate."
The county has the primary authority and duty to develop and maintain public access to "land below the high-water mark on any coastal shoreline," as mandated by Section 46-6.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes. Other sections of state law require the county to purchase land for public rights-of-way to shorelines, possibly through "co-sponsorships" with the state.
But the process of acquiring these public access easements must be balanced with private ownership agreements, said Tara Owens, a coastal hazards specialist for the University of Hawaii Sea Grant Program. She visited the cove and surrounding shorelines about a year ago with County Council Member Elle Cochran and other shoreline planners.
"Counties can create access easements, but you have to find a location where access is feasible, and the owners of the property have to be compensated," said Owens.
Owens also noted that the County Council has in the past implemented measures to protect public access to shorelines. In 2008, the county reached a resolution with a landowner who wanted to develop a vacation rental complex in North Kihei that would have blocked public access to the shoreline. The parties agreed that the landowner would be responsible for creating an American with Disabilities Act-accessible pedestrian walkway to the beach, along with appropriate signage.
Cochran, who chairs the council Infrastructure and Environmental Management committee, said that the issue at Honokeana Cove is already on her radar, and that the county Planning Department will be working to come up with a shoreline plan, though it has not yet been brought up as an agenda item in council.
"Shoreline access is an important part of the law here in Hawaii. . . . It's near and dear to the hearts of several council members, but the challenge comes in the implementation," said Owens. "It's going to take a little bit of collaboration but it can be done."

Harley Pasternak: Top 5 Fitness Myths – Debunked!
MYTH #1: Working out means you can eat whatever you wantFACT: There are a couple of key reasons why this myth can cause us to gain weight. One is that we tend to overestimate the number of calories we burn when we work out.
It doesn't help that some reports suggest that treadmills and other cardio machines overestimate, too – to the tune of up to 30 percent. Compounding the problem, intense (cardio) exercise can actually increase your appetite.
Moreover, we tend to underestimate the number of calories we take in when we eat. Not only does this disparity lead to weight gain, but when we exercise our hunger also increases. If we leave the gym ravenous and eat everything in sight then we're cancelling out the good effects of the exercise and then some!
Overestimating calories burned + underestimating calories ingested + increase in hunger = almost certain weight gain.
MYTH #2: Lifting heavy weights will make you look like a bodybuilder
Getty. Inset: Courtesy Harley Pasternak
There are three primary factors that determine how much muscle someone can develop.
Number one is hormones. Women have less testosterone than men, therefore, women have smaller muscles than men.
Number two is diet. If you want to build a bigger house, you need extra building materials. Same goes for your body's muscles, which means you need extra calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates. If you don't increase your dietary intake, all the weight training in the world won't make your muscles bigger.
And number three is exercise volume. Traditional "hypertrophy" or muscle-building workouts commonly used by bodybuilders, focus on onto to two body parts a day, and often use four to five exercises per body part, and four to five sets per exercise. That's a whopping 16-25 sets for one body part per workout. That's a lot!
In an interesting study at Central Michigan University, researchers had female participants do exercises on one arm, doing many reps using a light weight. On the other arm, they performed the same exercise, doing fewer reps with a heavier weight. After 10 weeks, the arm that used the heavy weights was stronger, but no bigger in size.
MYTH #3: Crunches and ab exercises will flatten your belly
Curt Pickens / Getty
Not only does doing 300 crunches a day not reduce that layer of fat over your stomach – they can actually create bad posture and create the illusion of a belly! Crunches mimic the posture we use when we're sitting for much of the day, and the last thing we want to do is further develop that hunched position.
Also, crunches really only work the front surface of our abs, ignoring the rest of the muscles in the trunk. To get strong abs, try doing core exercises like a plank, trunk twist for your corset (transverse abs), side bends to work your obliques, and superman to work the all-important (and often forgotten) lower back – the foundation to great abs.
MYTH #4: Pilates and yoga lengthens your muscles
A muscle generally has two points of attachment to our body – an origin and an insertion. Short of actually cutting the muscle off of one of these attachment points, stretching it out, and reattaching it at a point further away, you cannot actually change the length of a muscle. While Pilates, or any exercise for that matter, cannot add length to your muscles, it can strengthen them and improve general posture, which can give the illusion of a longer, leaner physique.
MYTH #5: If you're not sweating, you're not getting a good workout
There are tons of factors that go into how much you sweat, including temperature and humidity, physical make-up, genetics and the clothes you're wearing. Sweating is simply our body's biological response to overheating; when sweat evaporates off our skin, it cools our body temperature.
So don't worry about how much you do or don't sweat – just keep moving!

Manchin simply called for a discussion on guns
January 3, 2013
Like so many other Americans, U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., reacted in horror to the Connecticut school massacre earlier this month....
West Virginia, this means that Joe Manchin has sold you out. It means that he has accepted some position, likely promised by Barack Obama, to place his boot in your neck in exchange for power. Now you know. Now you know why for four hours, I was too angry to update you.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
When it became clear that we were not going to find common ground, and that Senator Manchin intends to support magazine capacity limits and other pointless gun-control laws doomed to failure, I told the senator that we would be there. We would be at every single event. We would be at every fund-raiser. We would be there, and the content of our signs would not be pleasant.And now we get to the second conversation. The one between the lines. When I said we would be there, he said, "there won't be any events." This confused me. No politician runs for office without fund-raisers and events. And I have to admit, it wasn't I that grasped the meaning of this. I want to be clear, that the following was not stated. This was deduced by a confidant of mine, and I think she is correct. Manchin was honest. There will be no events. Why would a US Senator not need funds? This is because there will be no campaign. Joe Manchin is too young to retire from a position of such power. What does

Senator Manchin told me what the media will do if Congress (including the US House of Representatives) fails to pass an AWB and/or mag restrictions. "They will one, by one, put up pictures of dead children. They will show the carnage." Considering that tomorrow, President Obama will be exploiting children by dragging them on stage with him while he outlays his plan, this is not a huge leap. And these are the words of a United States senator. We, and I don't mean just West Virginians, I mean Americans, must prepare for this. That is a direct quote. Verbatim. We need every talking head in the conservative media out in front of this. Make it happen. Share this post far and wide.....continued in next post

Further, he stated to me directly, that he believes 75% of West Virginians, like him, believe that the only purposes behind gun ownership and the second amendment are hunting and recreational shooting. He told me that defense is not an angle he considers or believes in, and that is specifically in the context of defense of self, and defense from tyranny. Perhaps now you understand why I've been too angry to update you on the results of the meeting. In case you're thinking of stopping here, it gets worse..... continued in next post

Letter to WVCDL Members from WVCDL President Keith Morgan, January 15, 2013, in regards to His meeting with Senator Joe Manchin concerning his views on Gun Control in the United States.
Ladies and gentlemen of the WVCDL and West Virginia. Today, around 3PM I met with Senator Manchin. In any conversation with a person of that level of power, there are two conversations that occur at once. The first is the obvious and direct meaning of what is spoken. The second conversation is the meaning between the lines. In this case, neither is good. West Virginia, in my opinion, you have been sold out. First, let's talk about the direct conversation. It's very simple. Senator Manchin supports a three-pronged approach that includes universal background checks, including private sales. He supports mental health-care reform. And he supports magazine capacity limits, and possibly other restrictions. continued in next post

Petitpierre, I'm sorry I don't have names for the 88,800 (Eighty eight thousand and eight hundred) babies that were murdered just since the precious 20 named angles were killed in CT a few weeks ago. Most ranged in age from 4 weeks to 9 months FULL term. Not ONE gun was used to kill them. No viewing, no funeral. Instead they ended up under a microscope for "research", in cosmetics, in vaccines for living children, and the remaining ones found their resting place in a red trash bag that ended up in a landfill.Since the left wing socialists have such a heart for kids and can't take the guilt of an innocent child dying needlessly. I expect we will hear them loudly demanding an end to abortions! Or maybe abortions should be performed with a gun. Think of the millions saved.Both in lives and tax payer dollars.

Petitpierre: Sorry there is not enough room to list all the people's names.
Studies vary between 65,000 and 2.5 million times per year where firearms are used in personal defense. Under President Clinton, the Department of Justice conducted a survey in 1994 that placed the usage rate of guns used in personal defense at 1.5 million times per year.

Einstein: You oppose the AR15 platform, why? It is one of the most controllable and accurate rifles to use. Would you rather people have inaccurate platforms? Personally I want to have the right tool for the job. Since no one can predict every situation, you usually carry a multi-tool. Well the AR platform was designed for close quarters, with the capability of longer ranges if needed, in essence it is a multi-tool.(not all life threatening situations happen within 7 feet of you) A handgun or shotgun may not be the right tool for your home protection choice. Farms are different then apartment buildings. Would you want a surgeon to use a steak knife, they can, but its not the best choice. Country living (farms, ranches etc...) have wildlife issues they need to deal with, and I would rather have my AR 15 going up against a ****** off mother bear, cougar, wolves etc... than a handgun.

This is fun. Liberal Einstein. Apparently you're running out of arguments. Mr. Brady's status as victim of a crime does not immunize Mrs. Brady from even scathing criticism if she uses said status to push a political agenda. Your argument is disingenuous. Further, unless they're members of the US Armed Forces, I am not aware of any soldiers running around this country with fully automatic Kalashnikovs. Coz that's what those 3rd world thugs are mostly using. As already stated, these arms are illegal here except with extra special permission. I hope to have expressed myself more clearly this time.

Did I say anything about calling Brady and making jokes ? I suggested it might strike you more funny (in sarcasm, the opposite, not funny) to have someone call a gun control nut when what they need is someone with a gun. Einstein you ain't !
A popular T-shirt with the self-reliant ladies these days has printed on the back - "Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her own pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound."
2 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I suppose it takes an "Einstein" to propose that it is better for any group of people to be unarmed and have NO means to respond to an attack than to have at least someone there with a weapon of equal lethality. Why then call the police ? What will they do other than provide more targets for the shooter if they show up unarmed ? And let me ask you "Einstein", when you say "And the guard, soldier or whoever would have been outgunned or do you want them with AR15s also.", how many bullets do you think it takes to drop a single shooter ? A well trained person can deliver a deadly or stopping shot, even under fire. It happened at Ft. Hood.

Well Liberal Einstein, you don't understand the technical issues and you misrepresent the legal ones. There is no legal way to own a rocket launcher unless it is "inert" and fully automatic weapons are very strictly regulated. As for semi-automatic rifles that look like they are military, it's just looks. Design if you will. In rate of fire they function exactly like a semi-automatic handgun. It logically follows that outlawing them does nothing whatsoever to enhance safety. This being a fact, when you and your friends demand them banned, I must conclude that you are willfully using their "scary" look as an entry point to comprehensive gun control. 'Coz, you know, you been told over and over again what the facts are and still don't acknowledge them. Unless you can't grasp them in which case I'm wasting my time.

Actually I have had mixed feelings on gun free zones for years. Ever since a case of a teacher who was being stalked by an ex husband became news. She lost her appeal to carry a gun (and keep it in her car) so she would have it when she got home, in case he was waiting for her. It really made me think... I am for the right of those with no mental issues to have the right to carry firearms to protect themselves. This does not include AR15s or rocket launchers. All of our rights have limitations and the answer to every question we are facing in these debates is not more guns. I also know many teachers that you would not want walking around the school with a weapon. And are you going to limit that? How about an older, weaker, or small female teacher who could easily lose his weapon if a student wanted to cease it? If a well trained soldier hasd a gun and was there when Lanza busted in, as he had the element of surprise, who is to say what would have happend

What would be really funny Einstein, is, if when the next shooting occurs the people in the area call the White House or the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, instead of armed police ! They could send a pacifist to talk to the shooter about why killing people is not a nice thing to do.

Liberal Einstein,
If I'm not mistaken, you have the good fortune to spend a lot of time in a declared gun-free zone. How do you feel about some schizophrenic victim of society taking advantage of this advertisement and shooting the place up? You think the cops are gonna be there fast enough to save people? Or would you rather be packing yourself, when that event happens? But I guess you wouldn't want to contribute to more guns. So far still your choice, but maybe your coworkers feel differently and want to keep their choice. Fair enough?
