First External USB 3.0 Hard Drive from Freecom
German company Freecom has announced, by its own reckoning, the first external USB 3.0 hard drive.
The 3.5" device with the name Hard Drive XS 3.0 is intended for desktop use for memory extension and backup media. It should be available on the European market in mid-November in 1-TByte, 1.5-TByte and 2-TByte versions, at around 120 Euro for the 1-TByte model.
The device should run at transfer rates of 130 MBytes per second. Freecom managing director Axel Lucassen uses an example to illustrate: "We now can transfer a 5GB movie in just 38 seconds iit is unbelievably fas.t" The XS 3.0 hard drive is backward-compatible and can run on USB 2.0 at a reduced transfer rate. As an add-on it features hardware encryption at a 256-bit AES. To further equip computers Freecom provides controller cards for USB 3.0 in desktop and notebook versions.
Linux can brag that, as of Kernel 2.6.31, it is the first platform to support USB 3.0. The new specification, also known as "SuperSpeed USB," theoretically allows transfer of 5 GBits per second. The USB Implementers Forum non-profit founded by USB developers lists the first USB 3.0 devices on its webpage, such as host controller models. Whether Freecom's controller cards run under Linux is currently unknown.
USB 3.0Information is very useful for USB device hunters.

MIDDLEBURY — There are now three write-in candidates for two side judge slots that until recently had no takers. Longtime Middlebury resident Alice George has confirmed her plans to join Mark Smith and Irene Poole in a write-in effort for the Aug. 26 primary, a necessary step for the candidates to have their names placed on the Nov. 4 General Election ballot.

ADDISON COUNTY — A tenet of good business practices is to minimize risk. In agriculture, where profit margins are thin, this is especially true.
MIDDLEBURY — Noonie Deli's "Purple's Pleasure" and "Vermonter" sandwiches still taste and look the same, but they're now being made under new ownership.
Late last month, the owners of the Marble Works deli, Brian and Jenny Phelps, sold the business to Jericho couple Jay Lafountain and Lauren Barland.
ADDISON COUNTY — The traditional image of casting dry flies to trout rising out of a cold, idyllic freestone stream, popularized in films such as "A River Runs Through It," is giving way in local fly fishing to new techniques and species that have a significant impact on the way guides run their businesses.
LINCOLN — Mountain biker Alison Zimmer of Lincoln, who was recently named to the U.S. downhill mountain biking team that will compete in the 2014 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships next month, had a good tune-up race at the Windham World Cup race in Windham, N.Y., on Aug. 9.
To judge by this summer's banner policy proposals, the most important question for higher-education reform right now is giving students easier access to loans. But evidence from Canada suggests those changes won't address the greater need: Getting more kids from poor families into college, the key to moving up in an increasingly unequal society.
On the Aug. 26 primary, I will cast votes for two Democratic candidates for the Vermont House to represent Middlebury. I will vote for Betty Nuovo and Donna Donahue.
I am writing in support of Donna Donahue for Middlebury representative to Montpelier. I have listened to Donna and I come away with a respect for someone who recognizes that the issues are not simple nor are there simple answers.

2 of 3 people found the following review helpful:Top Notch Haunted House Adventure, August 14, 2011
by jackofchanceEamon was the de facto standard for adventure gaming and D&D style RPG'ing back in the heyday of the Apple 2 computer. Gartin Manor stands out as one of the better efforts of a 250+ adventure catalog. On one level it's a haunted house adventure, but it is filled with neat touches and special programming to reward a careful adventurer, as well as some sly wit.

Your mission is to de-haunt a mansion, and you'd best bring your A-game, as some of the monsters are incredibly tough, and the puzzles can be even tougher. If you survive to face him, your final challenge is quite fun.
This ranks as one of my 10 or so favorites of all the Eamons I ever played, and that's saying something as there are many standout adventures in that now-legendary series.

When we evolved to "brush arbors" and were able to worship in a structure of tied together twigs and the Marvin Sapp of the manual labor era would be leading us in a tune and some rhythm sensitive brother would begin to tap one twig against another as if playing a drum- there was some scary someone that corrected him quickly with..."Marvin can carry his own tune- it don't take all that..."
Sooner or later freedom reigned and we built churches and after a while those churches actually had electricity inside of them and a brother named Hammond designed an organ and I wasn't there but something tells me that the first time Thomas Dorsey saw, touched, felt that organ- there just may have been one or two in the congregation that lost their cool points, shook their head and either whispered or said out loud..."he know good and well it don't take all that..."
So some person wrote some piece about "Satan becoming the worship leader" If you need help falling asleep tonight, you can read it here:
The writer was attempting to make the point that modern gospel is inspiring a generation of confused Christians that can't decipher "Amazing Grace" from "Bump and Grind". It appears as if the writer's argument is that new age gospel music has so much bass, so much bump, so much thump that new age gospel can be played in and appreciated at the club as much as it's appreciated at the church...
I reckon I have a two word response to someone who has an issue with music that transitions well between Saturday night 11:00 and Sunday morning 11:00...
So What?
I'm not sure- I'm not trying to be glib or create shock or be edgy- but I'm really not sure how many of our churches that Jesus would visit on Sunday morning if he were still roaming this earth. Jesus wasn't much for religious formality. Jesus wasn't big on pomp and circumstance. Jesus wasn't the stoic, stuck up killjoy that we go out of our way to portray him to be so I'm not sure how much Jesus would visit our churches...but I can see Jesus walking into our nightclubs. I can see it and if you've read your Bible, then you can see it too-
Jesus said that he came for the lost sheep of Israel.
Jesus said that it's not those who are well who need a doctor but those who are sick.
The church actually was angry at Jesus because Jesus not only hung out with the sinners but Jesus ate with them...guess they were at the Waffle House after the club...
Jesus changed the life of the prostitute Mary Madgalene.
Jesus changed the life of a woman who had entertained too many husbands at the well.
Jesus said if he had a church of 100, then he would leave 99 in the middle of worship and go to where the missing one was.
Here's my point: I grew up listening to a pipe organ every Sunday. I know the hymnal better than I know the alphabet. I grew up a fan of the hymns of the church- and my love for tradition was almost the death of my ministry because I became too rigidly regimented. I have believed and believe still that they hymns are the foundation of the church and I believe that because I used to hear 5 of them every Sunday but if St. James' DOVE dancers (the best doggone praise dance troupe in SC) has to dance to "That's What I Told the Storm" in 2015 in order for them to develop an appreciation for "Guide Me O, Thou Great Jehovah" in 2025, that's a small price to pay.
Sure a few of the contemporary Gospel artists are a bit "extra"- there are rampant rumors of homosexuality, adultery and fornication. There are Gospel artists who have felonies and divorces and battle alcoholism and other addictions- that is the reality of today's Gospel music industry.
I would be quick to condemn them if I didn't travel the church. When I cross the length and breadth of just South Carolina- I encounter rampant rumors of homosexuality, adultery and fornication. In my home state, I encounter Christians with felonies and divorces and those who battle alcoholism and other addictions.
The Gospel industry is no longer made up of pristine choir robes and glossy figures who lord over us from their ivory towers of purity. The Gospel industry is made up now of flawed individuals...just like the folks who buy their music- just like the folks who sit in pews and just like the folks who occupy pulpits.
There will always be room for improvement in God's church- I know that because it is made up of sinful, flawed individuals. We will always be able to do better because we will always fall down and fall short. I choose to apply my energies to the least, the last and the lost among us. I choose to resist the urge to be prudish in my worship and conduct and to focus more on how it helps and less on how it looks.
I'll leave you with this hymn- quoted from memory of course thanks to my upbringing...
Rescue the perishing
Care for the dying
Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave
Weep o'er the erring one
Lift up the fallen
Tell them of Jesus the mighty to save
Rescue the perishing
Care for the dying
Jesus is merciful
Jesus will save.
I love you and I'd love to be your Pastor. Meet us each Thursday at 12:30 and 7:00 PM for Bible Study at 888-628-8983. We worship each Sunday at our 9:45 Church School and 11:00 Morning Worship in the Heart of Abbeville, SC at 203 Henry M. Turner Street. We meet for evening prayer each Sunday evening at 8:00 on the above conference call number.
God's Best be With You Always,

So it's an hour a week they say…
Tell a friend, share, and let me know what you think.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Journey to Excellence
Hour a Week/Black Diamond Cosmo
So it's an hour a week they say…
Living or Dying
A Scout Troop is a family.. and it's either living or dying. It's either growing or shrinking, viable or withering on the vine. There are many reasons for this, but the point of the matter is that if we are not watching for it we will let units fail. It isn't always easy to pinpoint one thing or another, but the more you focus the clearer the issues become and the faster a unit can recover when it finds itself dying.
I find that a close examination of the how the unit is using the methods is a great start. Oh and by the way, this is important for units that are living and living well too. You may just find that you are slipping in an area that down the road can lead to a cancer that can not be cured in the unit.
Is the unit using all eight of the methods or just picking and choosing which ones are important to them? I liken that practice to picking and choosing which of the values in the Scout Law are less important and need not apply.
A strong program relies on the methods to achieve the goals of Scouting. Too many units favor advancement over other methods. I have seen those units race their Scouts to Eagle and then die.. they lost the older Scouts and leadership. The families disengage once their son "Eagles Out" [a term that does not have any place in Scouting]. There is no longer a dog in the hunt for the family and the Scout feels as though he has reached the end. NO NO… he has just begun. Now it's time to give back and be a leader. But with the emphasis on advancement, the Scout and his family see no other needs that the unit can provide.
Some Troops believe that the Patrol Method is all you need. While I agree that the Patrol method is everything to the Patrol and health of the Troop, it is certainly not all you need. Where do you practice the Patrol method? At Troop meetings? Sure, some, but its the Outdoor program that makes the Patrol method come alive.. so no the Patrol method is not all you need. How do you put into practice the Ideals of Scouts, you know those ideals and values found in the Scout Oath and Law? You need a well planned and executed Service program in the life of the Troop. Service opportunities that engage the Scout and teach him to be a selfless servant to others. This is a wonderful leadership trait as well. Being a servant leader will certainly get the young man farther and reinforce the ideals of Scouting.
I once heard a quote, and I want to say it came from Baden Powell, "Show me a poorly uniformed troop and I'll show you a poorly uniformed leader." The uniform is an important part of Scouting. I have talked about this before so I won't beat that horse to death, but the uniform is an essential part of Scouting. It builds the team. It helps with discipline. It is a great equalizer. The uniform connects us in the World Brotherhood of Scouting and is the most visible part of the Scout in public. It should be worn completely and correctly. Many adult leaders make a choice to allow jeans and other parts of the uniform to be exchanged. They claim that it is a money issue. It isn't. A Scout is thrifty. He can always go mow a lawn, rake some leaves, or even sell popcorn to buy a new uniform or pants for it. Taking the easy way out on the uniform reflects the attitude of the leader to not use the methods of Scouting completely. "Attitude reflects leadership" so says my favorite quote from the movie Remember the Titans. This attitude of pick and choose can do more harm than good in the long run and it has been my observation that it can ultimately lead to a unit dying.
And no.. it's not about the uniform. It's about the methods. Those tried and true methods that lead our youth to a better understanding of who they are and what they will become. It teaches Character, Citizenship, and Fitness. And that my friends is why do Scouting. We believe this works and that is proven daily, weekly, monthly in units all across our country. It is proven in the Eagle Scouts that go on to do great things in their lives and in the Scouts that go into the world and become Dads that raise wonderful people. Scouting works, but we need to keep it alive. Using the eight methods will keep it from dying.
The methods need to be visible in your annual plan, in your interactions with the Scout, and in your attitude. That will reflect great leadership.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
The Membership Discussion
Lets talk about membership.
We all know that we need members to keep Scouting alive. There are many different angles and directions to answer the membership question. I am not going to solve this issue in this post, rather, I am opening up the dialogue to see what you all think.
Scouting in the United States if a bit different from the rest of the World Organization of the Scouting Movement (WOSM).
First, we are not Coed, until you get to the Venturing Program.
Second, our programs are not connected. Yes, Cub Scouts go to Boy Scout etc… but in most cases outside of the US, a Scout group is made up of youth from 7 to 21. The units are formed from a group. This allows for continuity in the program and allows for leadership and example to be promoted from within the group. Personally, I like this idea. I think it solves a few of the issues we have in Scouting in the US. Namely keeping youth in Scouting.
I have become pen pals of sorts with some Scouters from outside of the United States. While they do have their own issues it seems that young people stay in Scouting longer and have a great Scouting experience along the way.
Starting off as a young 7-year-old and staying in Scouting till they are in their young adulthood. I think this creates a better Scouting life for them.
Anyway, as stated, I am not going to answer the question, just start the discussion.
I think that the BSA will need to explore the COED option sooner than later. With declining membership and the Girl Scout program not what most girls want… I think that opening the doors to a COOED program may go along way to saving Scouting in America.
So how does that work? Will we lose our values and program? I don't think so. I think we can move forward with the program we have. We need not tailor the program to girls, they will fit right in. Look at the Venturing program as it is? It would be much better if it were filled with young people and adventure.
OK, membership at the core.
I think that our professionals at the National and Council level have the very best of intentions when they talk membership. It is a simple equation. Get more youth in and membership will fix itself.
A few things that I know for sure.
You will never be able to out recruit your losses. You will never be able to keep Scouts in a program that is floundering.
When I was a young Scoutmaster I was told the three keys to a successful troop were Program, Program, and Program. If you build it they will come. Boys do not join Scouts for Monday night meetings. They join for cool programs and camp outs. Parents bring their sons to our program. Not to our meetings. They need to be able to see value in the program.
Program will drive membership. So I think sometimes we put the cart before the horse. The horse is our program, the cart is membership and money. Now, you can't have one without the other, but if your priority is not program, you won't get members. That, I know for sure.
So where is our effort more effective? Building programs or recruiting? I think we build programs and let them come.
There are more factors to this discussion to be sure. It is not always that simple I understand. At the unit level programs need to be the priority. Build it and they will come. Recruiting efforts need to be a part of the annual plan. Focusing on Cub Scouts is not the only answer. We need to sell Scouting to all eligible youth.
This is where I see other WOSM get it. They appeal to youth of all ages and keep them in longer. There is a coolness factor about hanging out with their peers and they longer they stay, so do their friends. I think this is an important part of our membership issue.
So.. lets take a few posts and explore this issue?
What do you think? Let's discuss this.
Here is a little video I stumbled on that really got me thinking. It is from the Scouts in Germany. I would love to see our youth in American Scouting like this one day. I got to see Scouting like this when I was a kid in the Transatlantic Council as we did many International Scouting activities.
Also take a moment to check out the Kandersteg International Scout Center videos. See what they look like and lets see how we can implement some of this here.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Seeing the Forest for the Trees
Scouts that join our units begin their walk on the Eagle Trail through our program forest. This forest of Scouting has much to offer the passer-by. When you enter the forest the trail is clearly marked and a guide is provided. This guide keeps the new Scout on the right trail while he learns about the forest and the skills that he will need to navigate the trail through to his destination. The trail is long and provides many opportunities for the Scout. There is a fork in the trail called First Class. Once the Scout reaches this point in the forest, the trial gets a little less clear. There are still markers along the way, but the Scout is challenged to seek the path and maybe do some bushwhacking.
The trail through the forest at times will seem to be very narrow and at times the forest opens up into meadows and the trail needs to be tried and new routes found. A Scout needs to remember that the forest is full of trees. Those trees represent the opportunities of Scouting. Every four years a Scout will find a huge tree called Jamboree. He can choose to visit that tree and learn about its opportunity. He will also chance upon trees called NOAC (National Order of the Arrow Conference), he will have the opportunity to visit four trees called the National High Adventure Bases. A trip to the Philmont, the Summit, Sea Base or Northern Tier tree will prove to be a high light of his Scouting walk through the forest. There are merit badge trees and places along the trail to practice leadership and service. The trails always need maintenance. There are trees along the trail that the Scout will find other Scouts that need help finding the way. He will make the choice to lead them until they can do the same for other Scouts they meet.
There is a big lodge near the edge of the forest. This is where the Eagle Scouts hang out. They are still close to the forest so they can hear the call of Scouting and spend time back on the trail.
The forest of Scouting is full of great opportunity, fun, and adventure. But the opportunity, fun and adventure only comes to those Scouts that see the forest instead of the trees. The trees are the things that we bump into as we travel through the forest, but they are not the reason we go through Scouting. Finding the trees in the forest are the things that we do as we move forward in Scouting seeking the opportunities and fun that come with the program. The name of the trail is called Scout Oath trail. Along that trail we learn our laws and rules. We develop a habit of service, and we become a person that has Character. The trail is hard at times and forces us to stay physically and mentally strong. The trail is long and full of adventure, but we need to keep the forest the most important thing and let the trees appear. The Forest is the Scouting Aims and along the way you will bump into those trees that keep you moving in the right direction.
Loosing focus on the Forest and jumping right to the trees will eventually cause the Scout to turn around and leave the forest. He will hit all the trees that he wants but will miss the whole trail through the forest. The trees that are deeper into the forest are bigger and better, but the Scout that enters the trees and not the forest will miss out on them.
I have seen Scouts that have walked into the forest only to find a small stand of trees. They provided lots of merit badges and rank, but never any of the exciting opportunities that lay ahead on the trail. I also have seen Scouts that have immersed themselves into the whole trail. They have seen the big trees, participated in the great adventures and when he reached Eagle Lodge looked back at a great time in Scouting.
As you mentor young men in Scouting and as you introduce young men as they join your troop, show them the trail head into the forest and remind them to see forest rather than the trees. The trees will appear as you follow the trail.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
8 months… Where are you?
It's August, 8 months into the year 2014, 8 months into "The POLICY" Change that sent Scouters into a tail spin running for the hills and screaming that our values suddenly changed. 8 months since the "End of Scouting" as we know it. Really? Where are you? What has changed?
I have yet to see an openly gay Scout. I have yet to have to deal with sleeping arrangements and one boy hitting on another one. Just has not happened and I hate to be that guy.. but I told you so.
I lost a good Assistant Scoutmaster over this non issue. And 8 months later nothing has changed except for ink on a policy letter.
So where are you? Where are all these gay boys that were screaming to get into Scouting? Where?
Ok… drama aside…
Last night at our District committee meeting we were discussing the real issues, in particular membership and saving Cub Scout Packs. The idea that people have turned away from Scouting because of this policy change came up. The fact of the matter is that nothing changed, EXCEPT… now we are open to serve ALL young men.
So, this should open doors to new membership, right? Wrong. Boys that are attracted to Scouting will join Scouting. So what do we need to do to attract them? That is what we need to do to get them in our great organization.
Ideas floated around and you know it all comes down to what Scouting is. A great values based outdoor organization that promises adventure and fun. It appeals to parents and boys and always has. The biggest issue is that we do a terrible job of selling that. We get to wrapped up on political correctness and worrying what the public perception is. If we just stick to the basics of what Scouting is.. they will come. But we need to tell that story.
National is not spending the dollars during prime time to tell our story. Local Councils do not have the budget to do it either, so it's up to us to get out there and tell the story of Scouting.
Start by know what Scouting is. Tell the story as often as you can. Don't be afraid of what people think, change their minds by what they see.
A policy to allow ALL young men the opportunity to join Scouting should not have sent anyone into a tail spin, it should have opened the door to talk about what Scouting offers in the year 2014 and beyond. Instead an over reaction and a terrible lack of action on the part of Scouters to get out in front and say.. NO.. We invite everyone, but the need to follow our rules.. it's that simple.
8 months into this year of change and where are they. Those that value Scouting and Scouting's values are here, the rest left or have not joined.
So now what. We have a crisis in membership at the Cub Scout level. WE NEED TO GET MORE CUB SCOUTS!
Is this policy an issue? NO. So lets move on and sell Scouting.
Tell our story.
From the Boy Scouts of America website; The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation's largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations. The BSA provides a program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal fitness.
For over a century, the BSA has helped build the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The Boy Scouts of America believes — and, through over a century of experience, knows — that helping youth is a key to building a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society.
Is there something there that people have a problem with? If so, move on and tell the story to someone else.
A Scout is Friendly, Courteous and Kind.
Get out there and tell our story!
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Training, Nature or Nurture
The other day I posted my thoughts on training. I received some great feedback and feel that I need to address a couple of the comments, specifically a question that came up about the leaders themselves in the unit and how our attitude toward training is part of the reason we have great trained leaders.
Bob asked, "I'm curious as to whether you find that this "going the extra mile" is primarily something that a leader brings to the unit (nature), something that the unit brings to the leader (nurture), or some combination of the two. Or, to put the question another way, do you find that the adults that volunteer for leadership positions already have that "going the extra mile" mentality, or that the culture of the unit inspires a new (or existing) leader to go that extra mile?"
Thanks Bob the answers is simple. All of the above.
I believe that it is a bit of both Nature and Nurture. First, I think that our unit has built a culture of trained leaders and an expectation that leaders are trained. We ask a lot of our adult volunteers. It is the nature of the unit that we expect the adult to be willing to "go that extra mile". Because it is a cultural thing or part of the nature of our unit, the volunteer knows what he or she is stepping in to. It is not a surprise when they ask that they will be given a list of training courses, materials, and expectations of what training in our unit looks like. If an adult leader expects to do the minimum, they are quickly encouraged to participate in some position other than that of a direct contact leader.
The culture of the unit dictates that in order to deliver the very best program to our youth, keeping them safe, and instructing them properly we need to do better than the training that is provided by the Boy Scouts of America.
We agree that the training provided by the BSA is designed for the common denominator and not adequate for high adventure, advanced leadership, and activities that take you more than an hour away from a car. This is all well and good, but in our opinion we need to do more. Maxing the minimum is not good enough.
We ask of the Scout to "Do his Best"… so should we.
We also Nurture our adult leaders to want to be "Over Trained". Again, this is part of the culture of the unit. Firm expectations of the training that allows our unit to function at a higher level. When a parent asks to become a part of the adult leadership of the unit, the parent is invited to participate fully. But training comes first. Before an Assistant Scoutmaster for example can function as such, he must complete all of the BSA required training. He needs to seek advanced first aid training to include CPR/AED. We ask them to attend Wood Badge. We take the time to instruct them on being a mentor, teacher, and coach to our Scouts. We remind them that we do not lead, we assist. There are not patches in the Boy Scout program for adults that say the word "Leader".
This nurturing and development of the new adult volunteer leads them toward advanced training.
What this does for the unit is simple. It opens doors. We need not rely on any outside instruction or guides for our activities. If we want to climb, we have certified climbing instructors to facilitate that activity. Water craft, backpacking, shooting, Orienteering, Pioneering, First Aid, and more are all on the table because of the adult cadre of volunteers that have become the culture of the unit. We also find that the adults stay active, even when the Scout has moved on. This level of commitment has kept our knowledge base growing and stable. The culture of the unit dictates that we do it all for the Scouts and we go the extra mile to make sure they have the very best Scouting experience.
So it is both Nature and Nurture. It is a culture that expects the adult to set the example by giving more. Being a model of the expected behavior of a servant leader. One that reinforces our 5 Leadership principles in the Troop.
Leading ourselves, Focusing on the small stuff, Being the model of expected behavior, Communicating effectively, and being a Servant Leader.
Once that culture is developed and has a strong by in, the unit will flourish with trained leaders.
Allan and Alex, I hope that answer addressed your questions also.
If you have more questions, comments of concerns, please feel free to drop me a note.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Qualified, Trained Leaders
We often talk about having all of our adult leaders trained. When we speak of training we are talking about the basics. Has the adult completed Youth Protection? Attended their Basic Course for the specific position? And according to the Boy Scouts of America, that's pretty much a trained leader.
You are qualified to be an adult that delivers the promise of Scouting. Really.
Ok, now… everyone just take off your Scouting hat and put on your parent hat. Now you know nothing about Scouting except that your son wants to be a Scout. You know that Scouting is a great organization that reinforced those character traits that you are teaching at home and he and his friends enjoy going camping once a month. But who is this "Trained" leader? What qualifies him to take your son out into the woods?
A couple videos? An online training session and a "suitable for framing" print out certificate?
That's it.
Oh, but maybe the leader has been to Wood Badge. So he knows the Boy Scout Program and is able to teach and reach his goals. He communicates well, but what of the skills he needs to take my kid into the woods.
My point here is this. In a world in which we bubble wrap our kids. We don't let them stay out after dark, they can't climb trees, drink from a garden hose, or in some cases even push a lawn mower.. we drop off our sons to people we don't really know, they hop into their trucks and vans and drive away for a weekend in the woods.
Say that out loud and it is a bit creepy.
We trust that they know what they are doing with our kids. We hope to see smiles on their faces and that they are in one piece when they arrive back at the meeting hall.
Trust. That is what we have in our leaders. But it's 2014 so what has he done to be trusted. What skills does he have to gain my trust. Who is this guy taking my kid into the woods?
I am a big fan of Boy Scout Training and take it a step further. I am on our district training team and teach the Scoutmaster basic course. I am a Wood Badge staffer and love to teach leadership.
So knowing what I know, I know that the Boy Scout minimum training is not enough to build that trust. But the leader that goes the extra mile and gets more training, now that's the guy I want.
Not to toot my horn, or the horns our leaders in my Troop, but we respect that trust and that is why we all go the extra mile.
In our Troop, all the Assistant Scoutmasters are Wood Badge trained.
We have Certified Climbing instructors.
We have Certified Wilderness First Aid First Responders.
We have Wilderness First aid trained leaders.
COPE instructors
White water rafting guides
Leave No Trace master trainers
Kayak guides
Cold Weather camping experts
Backpacking experts
Pioneering instructors
Leadership trainers
Everyone is CPR/AED trained
Everyone has done the supplemental training for Trek Safe, Safe Swim defense, Safety Afloat, and Climb Safely.
I know that I am missing something, the point is that we go out of our way to be over trained.
This is where the trust of the parents is gained and maintained.
It is an important part of protecting our youth and delivering the very best program to them.
So who is your Scout leader? Do you trust him or her with your son in the woods?
Have a Great Scouting Day!
The Road
I can not remember where or who I heard this from, but I recalled a quote the other day that I thought was a good way of illustrating our job as Scout leaders and parents.
"We are not building roads for our children, we are building children for the roads."
Essentially it is saying that we can lay out everything to make life easy for our kids or we can prepared them for the road of life, which we all know is not easy.
When I thought about this quote, it got me to thinking about some of the ways we discuss our Scouting programs. As you all know I am a fan of traditional Scouting and doing things the right way. I am not a fan of giving everyone a trophy and I know that not every Scout will be an Eagle Scout… nor should they be. If they have been properly trained in their young lives to work hard, then they will reap the rewards of hard work.
The road of life is difficult and only made easier by getting on it and traveling. Know that it is hard, but stay the course. The beauty of the road is that you get to pick your destination. You can pick the path of least resistance and when you get there you will find that it took you to a place a fewer rewards. You can get on the highway of success and its direction will lead you to the world of Success. But you need to know that there will be detours and pot holes, but if you negotiate them, you will be successful.
So as Scout leaders and parents we need to encourage our children to take that road and prepare them for the detours and pot holes. We do not need to drive them there with the knowledge of the location of the pot holes and hardships. You can build the road, nice and smooth. Pave it with gold and make it a fast lane for your child, but he will not get the most out of it and will fail to learn lessons along the way.
On the other hand, we can train him up to set a course, know how to go around a detour and take it slow on a pot hole filled road. He will learn and develop and by the time he gets where he is going he will be a man who you will be proud of.
Last night at Round table I had a little chat with a Scouter about Eagle Scouts. He made the comment that every Scout should be an Eagle Scout and that the sooner they get it, the better.
Again, I thought about the road. Did we build the road for the Scout or did we build the Scout for the road. I don't know the answer in his particular case, but how many Eagle Scouts have we seen that are not prepared for the road. I personally can tell you that I have seen many. While I am proud of their accomplishment, I wonder if we as Scouters are not quick to reward and less enthusiastic to take the time and build that young man.
The road of life is a tough one. We owe it to our children and our Scouts to build them ready for the road of life.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Learn to Lead Yourself
I have spoken about the five principles of leadership that we use in our Troop to develop both our Junior Leaders as well as our Adult Leaders.
To recap, those five principles are Learn to Lead Yourself, Focus on the little things, Model Expected Behavior, Communicate Effectively, and Be a Servant Leader.
In this post we are going to focus on the first of these principles, Learn to Lead Yourself.
Simply put, if you can not lead yourself you can not lead others.
To illustrate this point we talk often about the way you act. You set an example of what you would like in those that follow you. You, as a leader can not get away with the "Do as I say and not as I do" philosophy of leading. It just does not work if you are trying to be a good leader.
The way in which you carry yourself, your habits,and your skills show the follower that you are a leader that is worthy of following.
You pack your pack correctly and assist others in getting theirs right.
You take your promise to live the Scout Oath and Law in your daily lives seriously. This is important in showing those you lead that you do not compromise in your values and you are consistent in the way you act and expect them to act.
Thomas J. Watson, the former chairman of IBM, said, "Nothing so conclusively proves a man's ability to lead others as what he does from day-to-day to lead himself."
Learning to Lead Yourself takes work. The learning part comes in developing those skills, attitudes, and habits that make you a better leader.
This means that you spend time in the study of leadership. It means that you take extra time to be trained in skills and develop methods of instruction to help others.
It means that you never stop learning, this becomes a habit. Once developed you long for more learning and skills development.
This goes for youth and adults alike.
I know many Scouters that will do training because they have to and I know Scouters that do training because they want to. They see value in adding to their skill sets in the bigger picture of how they deliver the promise of Scouting.
I also have seen this in our youth. Youth that seek more adventure and know that they must develop that knowledge base before they can execute certain skills and tasks. On the other hand, leadership is just a block to be signed on the way to Eagle Scout.
This concept of learning to lead yourself is nothing new. It has been taught for years by leadership guru's and is a foundation of leadership development. It is a means of focusing on the leadership qualities that we need in order to be effective leaders. Think about what you want to see in a leader.
You want the leader to be Trustworthy. You want the leader to be reliable. You want the leader to be accountable. The leader should demonstrate integrity. Well, if those are the things that you want in a leader, you need to focus your learning, habits, and attitudes to becoming that person… that leader.
Like I said before, if you can not lead yourself, you can not lead other people.
So how do we learn to lead ourselves?
First. Find out who you are. What kind of leader are you? What habits do you currently have? What are your skill sets that contribute to your leadership?
These may be hard questions to answer. You may not like what you hear, either from yourself or others. Find a leader that you trust and appreciate. Ask them to assist you with these questions.
Second. Find out what skills you need to develop to be an effective leader. Make a list and a commitment to mastering those skills. Take extra training and opportunities to learn and practice those skills. Make changes in your habits and attitudes to get better at leadership and skills.
Third. Commit to be a life long learner. You need to always stay a couple of steps ahead of those you lead. Get out in front with learning, practicing, and sharpening your leadership skills. There is always something new and there are always way to improve. Perfection is a curious thing. It is something that can be seen, but moves farther away as you get closer. It forces us to get better. Shoot for perfection in leadership with the knowledge that I can not reach it, but the closer I get, the better I get.
Be patient but persistent. Stay focused on making yourself better and those that you lead will be better.
The first step in effective leadership is getting the leader right. That leader is you. Learn to lead yourself and you will be on your way to being an effective leader.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Looking back
I have been digging through my collection of Troop Pictures and wanted to find some good annual pictures of our Troop, you know, the Summer camp shots that show what a great year of Scouting we had.
As I dug through my collection I looked back on all of those young men that have enjoyed a great program at our Troop. I think about all of the young men that have come and gone. Some stuck it out to the end, some are still active with the Troop.
It has been fun to look at the guys and think about the funny stories that come with each of these pictures.
In light of current discussions on growth and membership, when I look at these pictures I see our program and why it works. I see great kids that want to play the game with a purpose. I see those adults that give a ton to the program. I see the place we have been and things that we have done and it makes me want to give more to these incredible young men that join looking for the adventure of a life time.
As I look back on these pictures I can't help but remember those years when membership was booming and activities never seemed to end. I think back on our transition from a "Patrol Box Troop" to a "Backpacking Troop" and how that changed our adventure. It also changed our membership. It made us a bit smaller, not every young man wants that kind of adventure. I think about all the Scouts that we talked with on join nights and Troop visits that we suggested different Troops to. Those young guys that had that look that they did not want to join our Troop, but for us them staying in Scouting was more important. I often run into some of those young men and am glad that they stayed in Scouting. Even though we did not 'get them' Scoutingwon and so did the Scout. A look at the pictures bring back memories of attacking raccoon's and awesome dutch oven cook offs. They tell a story of our Troop and the fun that we have had.
Doing an independent camp out in Eastern Oregon was a great adventure. A staff made up of our parents and Scout leaders. Trips to historical sites and learning to catch bee's. Water skiing, horseback riding, and launching rockets. Hanging out in the stream and paddling rubber rafts across the pond with our hands. Catching fish and having an amazing fish fry, for some the first time they ever had Trout.
Leaving an Order of the Arrow Sash at Chief Josephs grave marker was a special day and raising the flag on the flag pole we cut, shaved, and placed on the ranch property leaving the owner speechless with a tear in his eye is a memory I will never forget. Troop 664 shined that summer and did something that I never thought we could pull off. 5 hours from home and one of the best summer camp experiences we have ever had.
In 2010 13 members of Troop 664 went to the National Jamboree with Contingent Troop 720. I had the pleasure of being the Scoutmaster for that Troop and Rob, one of Troop 664's Assistant Scoutmasters was an Assistant Scoutmaster in 720 also. The rest of the Troop went to Camp Baldwin that year and I do not have a picture of that group.
If you have never been to a National Jamboree you need to go. It is said that the National Jamboree is a once in a life time experience. Well, not really, you can go to as many as you want. But 2010 was a special year. Being the 100th Anniversary of Scouting in America, the Jamboree in 2010 was very special. It was very cool that I was selected to be a Scoutmaster. It was extremely special that my two sons were in my Troop. It was the only National Jamboree that the three of us would every be able to go to together. The young men of that Troop were very special and bonded quickly. Those bonds remain. That group will forever have a special place in my heart.
As you all know, Philmont has a special place in my heart also. I love Philmont. In 2012 our Troop put together two Crews and made the journey to Scouting's Paradise.
It was a life changing event for many of the Scouts of our Troop. That group of Scouts that made the trek in the Sange DeCristo Mountains came home different. The other day we were talking about the guys that went to Philmont Scout Ranch. Of that group all but three stayed in Scouting. 5 are or will be in the very near future Eagle Scouts. The rest are still active in the Troop. One completely turned himself around and became our Scout of the Year last year. Philmont made a lasting impression on the life of Troop 664. Last Monday I sat with a Scout, he was my Crew leader at Philmont, for his Scoutmaster Conference for the Eagle award. We talked about Philmont and his impression of the experience. He shared with me that at first he was not to excited because he was the crew leader and was afraid that he would be to busy leading that he would miss the experience. On the contrary. It was his leadership and the way our Crew bonded that made the Philmont experience a special one. We talked about his experiences in the Troop and his growth. He talked about Jamboree, Philmont, and all the cool camping trips. Troop 664 delivered the promise to him and continues to provide the adventure of Scouting to the young men that keep showing up.
Last year our Troop went North to the Chief Seattle Council to Camp Pigott. It was the second time we have been there and the experience was once again fantastic. The camp is great, the staff is wonderful and the experience is always one that the Scouts talk about for year. In all of this, as I look back though, it's not the camp, it's not the staff, it's not the time of year. It's the Troop that makes these pictures come alive. It's the Troop that as it grows and passes along traditions, stories, leadership, and fun creates the wonderful adventure of Scouting. That is the common theme that has run through the adventure of Troop 664 for the last 10 years and I am certain it will continue for the next 10… and beyond.
Finding that adventure in where we go and what we do. In our young men and the dedication of the adults that go along for the journey. As I look back at these pictures I can't help but think that we are doing it right. The proof, they keep coming back. They learn, they grow, they become men of Character. All of that wrapped up in this game we play.
Delivering the Promise is a unit thing. Every unit needs to wrap itself in that promise and provide endless adventures for the young men of tomorrow. I look forward to seeing more and more pictures of Troop 664. I need to find the rest. It is fun to watch the growth of the Troop.
How's your adventure?
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Great to see the cast and the locations.
Lynne S New Zealand
Great fun and we learnt a lot about the different settings for the show and how things are put together. We were fortunate to see some filming taking place and to have a photo op with Georgie Parker aka Roo Stewart, who was a lovely and very gracious lady with her time. We had wonderful tour guides with driver Paul and his lovely partner Tanya. The day was finished off with a gorgeous ferry ride back from Manly just after sunset with all the city lights!
I am an avid watcher of Home and Away so loved the tour immensely. Had plenty of time in each place the tour guide and commentator were both very friendly and very helpful. We got dropped of in Manley instead of where we got on at the Rocks which I thought was going to be a negative but actually it was great we sat and had drinks by the water, explored Manley had dinner there then went back by ferry so in actual fact was much better than being dropped of where we started. Excellent trip and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.
Being an absolute die hard home and away fan this was a must for me. Funnily enough my husband enjoyed it too although he was not that keen on going. We were lucky enough to see them filming which was a real bonus. We were dropped off at Manley Beach on the return journey had a strole along the beach and treated ourselves to great fish and chips before catching the ferry back to Circular Quay.
A must see for any home and away fan! However my husband who isn and #39;t a fan also really enjoyed the tour, which includes great beaches and scenery. The driver / guide was excellent, very informative with a sense of humour. Plenty of time to look around and take photos.
My grand daughter had been waiting for this trip.She was excited to see the filming and meet and have her photo with Alf. The guide was friendly and informative.
it was great to see the set. Pity no filming going on. Will have to go back
I had a great tour, great tour guide PAUL!!!
Also i was very impressed with the tour of palm beach and seeing other beautiful beaches...
Home and away tour was great,,,,, i meant 2 home and away stars.
This was a fantastic tour! Paul the "flaming Gallah" bus driver was immense and had a wealth of interesting knowledge about Australian history, land and architecture. Tania the Home and Away tour guide was very well connected with the cast and we had the best day inspite of the rain. Highly recommended.
This is a great tour for fans of Home and Away. It takes in parts of Sydney you would not normally see. Plenty of time for photo opportunities. You might be lucky enough to catch some filming ! A must for fans!
Great guide.
Pleasant journey.
We saw them filming
Iv never seen home and away and went cause my friend wanted to go but still really enjoyed the trip seeing all the beaches in the area and the posh houses! Tour guide was informative and funny. Would have been better if it wasn't raining!!

Amazing tour very picturesque at Palm Beach and also on the remaining tour back to manly. very friendly and knowledgale guide aswell
This tour was amazing!
Fantastic afternoon out . Well worth a visit even if your not a fan of the show the guide AL was very informative and helpful talked none stop about the area and tour etc highly recommended
This tour was amazing!
Great tour, pity they were not filming as we did not get a chance to see anyone driver was informative and an extra lady who we picked up on the way was great with info regarding Home and Away.
This trip was brilliant, loved it so much!
Palm beach was beautiful, I loved the added touch of the home and away sign for the photo opportunity.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend it to everyone ❤
What an amazing tour - as a home and away fan it was a dream come true

Creating Ethernet VLANs on Catalyst Switches
Part 1 – The setup
This week I've received a test model of the Cisco Catalyst 2960G-8TC-L from the nice people over at Azlan, the Enterprise Division of Tech Data Corporation. The switch has 8 Ethernet 10/100/1000 ports, one of which is for dual-purpose, besides that it's very compact in size with no fan. The 2960G-8TC-L is also fully compatible with the Catalyst series and has a LAN Based Image installed, the ideal switch for your home lab. I'm going to write a couple of articles about how to configure trunking between a Cisco Catalyst switch and a VMware distributed virtual switch.
First let's start with the lab-setup, my home lab consists of two Asus barebones, both with 8 GB memory, some local 500 GB SATA disks and two Quad CPU Q9400 CPUs. For shared storage I'm using the Iomega StorCenter ix2 (Chad ;-) I'm still waiting for the ix4). I've bought a couple of Intel PRO/1000 GT single port network cards and have placed them in every free slot I could find in the barebones. This leaves me with 4 network cards per server, enough to setup a nice network test environment.
On my ESX server I've created a single standard virtual switch with two NICs which are connected to the Cisco switch. One Windows XP virtual machine with DHCP enabled. The VM is connected to the newly created Cisco VM Port Group. I'm going to use this virtual machine to do the initial configuration of the 2960.Ga door met lezen van "Creating Ethernet VLANs on Catalyst Switches" »

Xtravirt vSphere Client RDP Plug-in
Xtravirt is about to release another great tool; the vSphere Client RDP Plug-in. Last week Paul Davey has invited me to join the Xtravirt RDP Plug-in beta program. I was feeling very honored with his invitation and started performing some tests on their new RDP extension right away. I works like a charm, the installation is straight forward, after firing up the vSphere client the new RDP Plug–in is available at the vSphere Client plug-in manager.
When you jump to "Home" (I still have to get used to that) you'll find the new RDP plug-in at the Solutions and Applications section. Here you can configure the RDP behaviour like screen size, username, domain and port. When the setup of the global setting is done, it's time to put the plug-in to test.
Just right click one of your virtual machines and check-out the context menu, you'll see an extra option appears called Connect over RDP. Just select the new menu option and your RDP connection will initiate.
Update: I've just received an updated version from Paul with the following new features:
Password – you can now set a password to be used for all connections, allowing automatic logon.
Security Warning – Security Warnings can be disabled by ticking the relevant tick box.

Our distributor in Moscow took this - thanks Aleksandr
New models FOR the Fly Away Laser!!
We are pleased to announce:
A 50mW green model – model # BDL-50G – price of $1,295.00
A 50mW red model – model # BDL-50R – price of $895.00
A 80mW red model – model # BDL-80R – price of $1,395.00
New price for 30mW Fly Away laser effective 1-1-2016
Price for the Fly Away laser is increasing from $595 to $795 on January 1st.
We were unable to increase sales to the magnitude needed (but we came close – thanks!) so costs are going back up.
The Air Force BASH team requested a new model that looked less like a weapon from a distance so we created the Avian Hazer laser model BDL-2. It has been through Brooks City Base for testing and the BASH folks at Kirtland are writing up the SOP to submit to the LSSRB now.
Photo below – 50mWatt Green – develops 1 meter beam circle at 500 meters. Uses 2 D cell batteries. All exterior joints and power switch sealed. Sells for $1,895 without safety glasses ($160 option).
What Makes Our Avian Dissuader & Fly Away lasers So Effective?
High Power Output
Assures long range effectiveness (up to 3 miles, depending on model) and brightness that is hard for birds to ignore.
Large Beam
Ability to generate a beam circle that ranges from several inches to several feet means that birds cannot hide from it.
These patented products aren't just remade laser pointers; Our Avian Dissuaders & Fly Away lasers are specially designed and engineered for bird control.

No. 9 Iowa State moved 3-0 in the conference with a 74-48 victory Wednesday evening over at Hilton Coliseum. The Cyclones were led by senior Hallie Christofferson's 22 points, but it might have been the defense of junior Brynn Williamson that made the difference in the game.
Heading into the game, the Texas Tech Lady Raiders (6-8, 0-3) were led by junior guard Amber Battle's 18.2 points per game, which is good for third-best in the league. Battles' 8.9 rebounds per game average was also tops in the league.
If the Lady Red Raiders were going to pull the huge upset, Battle would need to be big. So how'd she do?
4-for-13 from the field, eight points, four rebounds, thanks to Williamson.
"Every game Brynn typically gets the other team's best player," ISU coach Bill Fennelly said afterward. "She's long and takes great pride in the way that she defends. She's a real solid lock down defender, because of her length sometimes that bothers people. Because they play so many kids we decided to focus our defense on guarding [Battle] and doing the best job we can. Brynn and her teammates were really good tonight."
The Lady Raiders came into the night 0-2 in the conference playing the same two teams the Cyclones defeated last week in and OU and TCU, losing by an average of 20.5 points. Tech is also in the bottom third in most every statistical category in the Big 12 this season, but it's a rebuilding year as head coach Candi Whitaker is in her first year leading the program.
Iowa State's 14-game winning streak is the longest in school history.
"Candi will do a great job at Tech," Fennelly said. "We'd all be in that position. They did some things early like switching defenses that we didn't anticipate or handle very well."
The Cyclones started the game sluggish, turning the ball over, fouling on defense, and unable to find their shot, however an 18-2 run during the last eight minutes of the first half blew the game open, during which Christofferson scored 17 points. Tech as a team only had 16 at intermission.
"During that stretch we got some stops on defense that led to our offense," Christofferson said.
"Iowa State is difficult to guard because they run 5 guards on the floor, Whitaker said. "For our post player, it's extremely difficult; they are very skilled and deadly from three. They are smart players, and find the open people. Hallie had a great first half and I don't think we did a good job on her."
"I thought for 14 minutes, literally [Christofferson] was playing by herself in the first half," Fennelly said. "She wasn't getting a lot of help. She didn't come out of the game in the first half. She was getting beat up pretty good down low but was hunting her shot and didn't panic. I felt like some of the other kids kind of panicked a little bit. In the first half she had no help, and I think even outscored them in the first half."
Up next for the Cyclones is a matchup of two top 15 teams as No. 15 Oklahoma State (13-1, 2-1) comes to Hilton this Saturday. Iowa State defeated OSU in both games last season by an average of 9.5 points. However this season the Cowboys are leading the league in scoring defense, only giving up at average of 53.1 points per game.

On Thursday, Columbus Blue Jackets captain Rick Nash named the San Jose Sharks as one of the five possible teams he would accept being traded to.
The 27 year old Nash is in the prime of his career, and is arguably the biggest draw in the NHL as the trade deadline is fast approaching.
He would bring more of the goal scoring prowess that the Sharks might need entering the postseason, considering they focused heavily on defense in the off season.
But would it be worth it?
Here, we will take a look at the possible price the Sharks would have to pay if they wanted to ink a player like Nash to their roster.

Nice piece, but (1) not always easy to find ammo, (2) expensive spare parts, and (3) heavy, at nearly ten pounds.
SAMCO has some in stock at $160 per case: http://www.samcoglobal.com/ammo.html Scroll down towards the bottom.
February 9, 2008, 11:21 PM
Thanks. I've got a chance at on in MINT condition. I've about given up at finding a nice, shooter-grade '03A3....
What would be involved in rebarrelling it to .30-06?
February 9, 2008, 11:34 PM
The magazine is too short to take most 30-06 loads.
February 9, 2008, 11:35 PM
Dunno. I shoot 'em. I don't fix 'em.
I think I'd sooner start reloading and securing a supply of everything necessary to support that before I had a 'smith gut it.

Spending a lot more money than it would cost to buy a .30-06 FN 49, and ruining a nice gun. If that's what you want just buy a .30-06, the 7x57 FN 49s are nice collectable rifles.
If you want an '06 "go to rifle", how about an M1 Garand?

A friend and I struggled all one summer trying to get his FN 49 Venezuelan surplus 7mm to run on handloads. No soap, even though it shot fine with any factory load available at the time. He finally just bought a supply of FN "cartuchos ordinarios" noncorrosive hardball and called it quits.
February 10, 2008, 12:10 AM
the 7x57 FN 49s are nice collectable riflesThat's a fact. The Egyptian 8mm variants are going for stupid money, and the 7x57s are far more desirable.
I like the rifle; it's reliable, has decent sights, and is reasonably accurate. It is, as has been noted, also a beast to lug around. For SHTF situations, it's no worse than a Garand and probably better than many other choices.. For longer TEOTWAWKI type stuff, the chambering would likely be a drawback.
February 10, 2008, 01:48 AM
What would be involved in rebarrelling it to .30-06?
The 7x57 SAFN is a real collector's item. Some SAFN's were made in .30'06 IIRC, but you don't want to hack at any of them. You'd be throwing a grand down the toilet. Not to mention destroying a very rare historical rifle.
If you want an '06 "go to rifle", how about an M1 Garand?
There you go, that's excellent advice.
February 11, 2008, 09:33 PM
I have one,mines 8 mm,I have found info on the fn 49,the rifle mag,that you can get when your a NRA memer had a good story on the FN49,they said how many dif,countrys had them and used them,Did You know they have a gas adjustment built into them,its under the forend,thats to adjust how much gas it need to cycle,VIa dif,kinds or type or ammo, I bought mine years a go,when they were easy to find and ammo was so much cheaper then now,I bought 4 cases way back when,,And my gun was in new cond,Im not sure how much i paid for it,but i did see the gun trader had them worth almost 600,they are built like a truck,heavy too,,And i think if you want 3006,then you should buy one,dont cut and gut the 49,
February 11, 2008, 09:48 PM
It's not too often you find one in this condition.Got it a few years ago it's practically mint.
I had every intention of shooting it,someday I may,but just couldn't bring myself to do it.So some of you might think it's a waste but this is basically my one safequeen.

Did you buy it like that, or has it had some TLC?
February 12, 2008, 07:55 PM
I bought it like that.Saw it at a gunshow and snagged it.The guy I bought it from,I told him I was looking forward to trying it,he said are you sure you wanna do that?,I don't think it's ever been issued.
I thought about,and it became a safequeen.I still might try it one day,a few rounds of quality ammo probably wouldn't hurt resale value.
I saw one in the same condition recently on the net,the guy wants a astronomical amount for it though,upwards of 2k.

Three-legged race
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article does not cite any sources. (June 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
A three-legged race involves two participants attempting to complete a short sprint with the left leg of one runner strapped to the right leg of another runner. The object is for the partners to run together without falling over, and beat the other contestants to the finish line.
The longest distance run three-legged in 24 hours is 109.8 km (68.23 miles) and was achieved by Mark Howlett (Ely, Cambs, England) and Rab Lee (Bo'ness, Scotland), at the Glenmore 24 Hour Trail Race, in the Cairngorms National Park, Scotland, UK, on 7–8 September 2013. This is also the longest distance ever run three-legged.
