What bapple said x2. Minus that shirt.
Sure you passed a class and go shoot targets at some gun range, but are you really about to whip that thing out in a hostile situation and start firing down on bad guys ?
Unless I'm out strolling around Choctaw at 4 in the morning i just don't see the need.
I think your safest bet is to just not go in places where you think you would need a gun.

i still don't see how you'd CC if you just had on a polo and slacks or something. seems like it wouldn't be comfortable or very concealed.
What bapple said x2
quote:I hear a lot of people say this and I understand the sentiment. When I do carry in one I make sure my gun is the only thing in my pocket; no keys, pens, etc.
I am not a big fan of the exposed-trigger pocket holsters though.
I carry the Kel-Tec P-32 in green/chrome when I want to carry in slim clothes for warm weather.
When I carry in a puffy, warm jacket I put the Chiappa Rhino on my waist.

Award to the ugliest revolver goes to...
quote:Not subjective. They are incredible guns. They're great to shoot and have limited recoil. The technology is worth the price.
But I heard they are surprisingly fun to shoot since the bore axis is so much lower. Very interesting

With SmartDraw, You Can Create More than 70 Different Types of Diagrams, Charts, and Visuals.
UML stands for Unified Modeling Language. UML is a way of visualizing a software program using a collection of diagrams. The notation has evolved from the work of Grady Booch, James Rumbaugh, Ivar Jacobson, and the Rational Software Corporation to be used for object-oriented design, but it has since been extended to cover a wider variety of software engineering projects. Today, UML is accepted by the Object Management Group (OMG) as the standard for modeling software development.
UML 2.0 helped extend the original UML specification to cover a wider portion of software development efforts including agile practices.
Here are some of the changes made to UML diagrams in UML 2.0:
The current UML standards call for 13 different types of diagrams: class, activity, object, use case, sequence, package, state, component, communication, composite structure, interaction overview, timing, and deployment.
These diagrams are organized into two distinct groups: structural diagrams and behavioral or interaction diagrams.
Structural UML diagrams
Behavioral UML diagrams
Class Diagram
Class diagrams are the backbone of almost every object-oriented method, including UML. They describe the static structure of a system. Learn more
Package Diagram
Package diagrams are a subset of class diagrams, but developers sometimes treat them as a separate technique. Package diagrams organize elements of a system into related groups to minimize dependencies between packages.
Object Diagram
Object diagrams describe the static structure of a system at a particular time. They can be used to test class diagrams for accuracy.
Composite Structure Diagram
Composite structure diagrams show the internal part of a class.
Use Case Diagram
Use case diagrams model the functionality of a system using actors and use cases. Learn more
Activity Diagram
Activity diagrams illustrate the dynamic nature of a system by modeling the flow of control from activity to activity. An activity represents an operation on some class in the system that results in a change in the state of the system. Typically, activity diagrams are used to model workflow or business processes and internal operation. Learn more
Sequence Diagram
Sequence diagrams describe interactions among classes in terms of an exchange of messages over time. Learn more
Interaction Overview Diagram
Interaction overview diagrams are a combination of activity and sequence diagrams. They model a sequence of actions and let you deconstruct more complex interactions into manageable occurrences. You should use the same notation on interaction overview diagrams that you would see on an activity diagram.
Timing Diagram
A timing diagram is a type of behavioral or interaction UML diagram that focuses on processes that take place during a specific period of time. They're a special instance of a sequence diagram, except time is shown to increase from left to right instead of top down.
Communication Diagram
Communication diagrams model the interactions between objects in sequence. They describe both the static structure and the dynamic behavior of a system. In many ways, a communication diagram is a simplified version of a collaboration diagram introduced in UML 2.0.
State Diagram
Statechart diagrams, now known as state machine diagrams and state diagrams describe the dynamic behavior of a system in response to external stimuli. State diagrams are especially useful in modeling reactive objects whose states are triggered by specific events. Learn more
Component Diagram
Component diagrams describe the organization of physical software components, including source code, run-time (binary) code, and executables. Learn more.
Deployment Diagram
Deployment diagrams depict the physical resources in a system, including nodes, components, and connections.
A complex enterprise application with many collaborators will require a solid foundation of planning and clear, concise communication among team members as the project progresses.
Visualizing user interactions, processes, and the structure of the system you're trying to build will help save time down the line and make sure everyone on the team is on the same page.
SmartDraw includes many templates and notation libraries for creating every kind of UML diagram so you can spend more time coding and less time drawing.

LOS ANGELES -- The LSU gymnastics team finished second in the NCAA Gymnastics Semifinal on Friday afternoon and joined Southeastern Conference rivals Florida and Georgia advancing to Saturday's Super Six finals.
The Tigers earned the program's third Super Six berth (2008 and 2009) with a team score of 197.325.
I think Alabama is in the second semifinal which just started at 6 PM Pacific. Arkansas is also in that one. I believe Florida is ranked #1 in the country at this point and is the SEC Champion this year from what I read earlier today.
That secman dude will be here to tell us we need to fire the coach and Alleva soon
If we want to remain behind those programs but good, we should keep Breaux as the head coach. (She's been the coach for 30 years, (checked - 36th year). If we want to try and take it up a notch, it may be time to look for someone who can lift the program even higher. Georgia has 10 national titles and Alabama has 6. Can't find that Florida has any national titles but has 10 SEC titles.
Every time I see this complaint I'd love to hear that person's candidate to take over(can't say Bela Karolyi).

For a tweak to counter this one, the developer would have to infect Apple's iMessage servers with malware that kept the servers from sending this information to iOS devices, and... yeah let's not get into that.
EDIT: Well actually, they could. I suppose. If they had made it so the data wasn't created on the sender's device in the first place.
What if you just turn off iMessage?
Or just get look who's typing now


text: How is it that no black women were included? You could find only one Oriental/Asian lady? There are so many of them who are as or more flexible than the other 19 ladies shown (I of course don't know where you looked for these ladies but you could have found some performers in the 'Universoul Circus' who are crazy flexible). I know it's a list of 20 (and it was presented as you/your researcher decided) but you could have broadened the spectrum, two black, two oriental/Asian, two Indian/Asian, two Latinas for example. Most of us appreciate the beauty of women across the spectrum. Not just a few as you want to present them.

Wrote a few patches and bug fixes... Started cleaning up the multimedia DLLs for a proper separation:
- started by splitting the driver code to be as close as possible of Windows' implementation ; I now got native MCI CDROM run with native WINMM and MMSYSTEM DLLs pair - not very useful, but good news anyway in terms of interoperability
- fixed a couple of remaining bugs in lots of MM areas (MCI, CD ROM...)
- Rewrote some of Marcus patches and fixed some other errors he reported (mainly on MCI)
- uncommitted yet: WINMM/MMSYSTEM are mostly separated, I still ahve to solve the service thread dependency to be finished
Also started working on delay loading for builtin DLLs. This is now functional, but still needs to be ironed out.
Vacations soon... good news, with maybe more time to hack !!

North East Bytes: Visual Studio 2010 and System Center
The March meeting of NEBytes is looking like a really good one with two excellent speakers making the trip up to Newcastle. For developers, we have Richard Fennell of Black Marble taking about Visual Studio 2010 and for the IT Pros, Matt McSpirit of Microsoft is coming to talk about System Center in the R2 Wave.
Richard is offering to let the audience vote on the content of his session; with so much to cover in Visual Studio 2010, he wants to make sure that his session hits the top four topics that people are interested in.
Matt's session also has a lot of ground to cover, but as a Microsoft Partner Technology Advisor, he has plenty experience to know which are the bits that are most important to the people using the technology: With more and more organisations thinking about virtualisation, there has never been a better time to investigate what the complimentary System Center management tools can bring to the table. From deep monitoring, patching, backup, and virtual machine management, the System Center Management Suite is the most comprehensive, unified management solution in the marketplace today, for organisations big and small. In this session, you'll learn about a number of the key technologies making up the suite, how they are licensed, and how they can help you achieve a new level of efficiency and control.
If you fancy joining us:
NB. There's a football match in Newcastle that evening, and from past experience, we know that means parking is a bit of a nightmare. You may want to check out Newcastle City Council's information on car parking before setting off.
For those closer to Norway than North East England, there's a real PowerShell treat in store for you:
The Norsk IT Konferanse 2010 (NITKon 2010) is running from 15th to 17th March in Oslo, and the 17th is going to be PowerShell Day, with Bruce Payette, Principal Developer on the PowerShell Team at Microsoft, along with PowerShell MVPs Dmitry Sotnikov, Thomas Lee and Ragnar Harper. That's a great line-up and if I wasn't already busy I'd be really temped to see if I could get there!

Deeplinks Blog posts about Coders' Rights Project
Last week, Microsoft completed a legal attack on two large and quite nasty botnets by obtaining a court order transferring 23 domain names to Microsoft's control. The botnets went down and the Internet was a better place for it. But in doing so, Microsoft also took out the world's largest dynamic DNS provider using a dangerous legal theory and without any prior notice to Vitalwerks Internet Solutions—the company that runs No-IP.com—or to the millions of innocent users who rely on No-IP.com every day.
As Facebook turned ten years old last month, a legal case it brought against Power Ventures almost six years ago demonstrates the continued hurdles facing developers who seek to empower users to interact with closed services like Facebook in new and creative ways. In a new amicus brief, we caution the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals not to extend crippling civil and criminal liability on services that provide competing or follow-on innovation.
EFF is offering four pairs of tickets to the sold-out Trustworthy Technology Conference on February 27 in San Francisco, CA. For the next week, we will host auctions for full TrustyCon admission. The winners of the auctions will each receive a year-long EFF Rare Earths Level Membership (normally a $500 contribution level) featuring the renowned NSA Spying hooded sweatshirt. The best part is that every dollar from these auctions will go directly toward funding EFF's digital freedom initiatives, so please bid today.
As the popularity of Bitcoins has increased, government officials are concerned about criminal activity associated with the virtual currency. But a recent subpoena issued by the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs to 19-year-old Bitcoin developer and MIT student Jeremy Rubin goes too far, and we're fighting back by moving to quash it.
Is a Wi-Fi signal the equivalent of an FM radio station, blasting classic rock ballads through your car speakers?
Not to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which issued its long awaited decision in Joffe v. Google this week, the case where Google was sued for allegedly violating the Wiretap Act when its Street View cars sucked up data from wireless routers as it passed by.

The fall (gun) turkey season opens here in Southern Illinois tomorrow. Doris and I have been seeing some birds for the last week+ and hopefully we'll get on them. It's so dry here that moving around in the woods seems counterproductive but at least we should be able to hear them coming from a long way.
I'll let you know how it goes.

Speck, they're made by Thinkway Toys which I've never heard of but they've done a great job with the line, which for the moment only TRU has stocked thus far. They have smaller scale figures, close to 3 3/4", in a SW Titanium vehicle style packaging for $5.99. There are also $6.99 Movie Moment 2 packs which are kind of like SW Unleashed sets, it seems and then there are the $9.99 Deluxe figures which are around 5-6". Also there are some electronic interactive versions for around $30.

Have we become emotionally obsessed with the weather?January 25, 2014 11:29 PM
Lois Rutherford is a hardy 74-year-old who has seen some rough weather in her day: "Charlie, David, Hugo," she said while standing on a frigid Mount Washington viewing deck last week, ticking off the names of hurricanes that have raked her hometown of Charleston, S.C.
But Hercules? Janus? Those studly "named" winter blizzards -- introduced by The Weather Channel in 2012 -- didn't ring a bell with Mrs. Rutherford, who nonetheless describes herself as happily obsessed with weather coverage, especially these days.
"I love the weather. It may be 7 degrees, but it doesn't bother me one little bit, and I am not going to let it stop me from coming up here before I go back to Charleston tomorrow," she said.
"Where it's 60 degrees," noted her son Ron, of Bethel Park, as he nudged her to get back in the car.
With the so-called polar vortex paying a second visit to Pittsburgh last week, and a third one expected later this week, people seem to be reacting to the frigid temperatures in three different ways:
• They hibernate (even though humans are not hibernating animals).
• They recreate (take that any way you want, but we're referring to those who like to ski, skate or ice fish).
• Or they fixate, like Mrs. Rutherford, on the weather.
The wind chill factor. Record lows, record highs. Snow drift patterns. In the summer, dew points and Derechos (straight line winds). In the winter, Alberta Clippers, polar vortexes and now, snowstorms named for Greek gods.
"We Americans love our weather," said Justin Roberti, a spokesman for AccuWeather, the for-profit service based in State College, Pa. "Weather is very personal to us. We use it to run our lives, and we're very emotional about it."
As compared to what other country? France?
"Europe isn't as into weather as we are," he said -- although, he hastily added that AccuWeather actually provides weather for every longitude and latitude in 27 languages, "and we are seen by a billion people per day."
Have people always been this way? Or are we in the grip of yet another unhealthy modern-day addiction fed by media, whether in the guise of local TV weather forecasts, Internet sites, blogs, mobile apps, or 24/7 cable weather channels?
It appears the latter is true, even as the weather business is being buffeted by the winds of change. A two-week standoff between The Weather Channel and DirecTV has roiled the viewing habits of hundreds of thousands, even as that other big for-profit weather player, AccuWeather, seeks to leverage the dispute to attract publicity for its own planned 24/7 weather channel.
All of this is happening in an era when weather junkies can check radar on their smartphone and the idea of a 24/7 weather channel is looking more and more like a relic of the 1980s, when cable television was in its infancy and the need for content was acute. Today, 67 percent of people age 40 or older still rely on television weather -- whether local or cable -- first and foremost, according to the Pew Research Center, compared to 21 percent who rely on the Internet. Under age 40, though, it's more of a tie, with 44 percent relying on television and 41 percent relying on the Internet.
In such a climate, the economics of round-the-clock coverage, at least when skies are clear, appear increasingly murky, and in recent years, more than 40 percent of The Weather Channel's programming has been dedicated to reality shows, not weather -- an approach that actually brings in higher ratings during quiet spells, Weather Channel spokeswoman Shirley Powell said.
Broad scientific expertise was in fact once a staple of The Weather Channel's lineup, which boasted some of the nation's top severe weather and hurricane experts: John Hope, who, as a government meteorologist in 1969, used his daughter Camille's name for one of the most destructive hurricanes in history; Steve Lyons; and Greg Forbes. Mr. Hope died in 2002 and Mr. Lyons left in 2012, although Mr. Forbes, a Latrobe native, remains. Last fall, the channel hired a popular New York anchorman who doesn't have a college meteorology degree. Sam Champion appeared on WABC in New York and on "Good Morning America" before jumping to the "Today" show.
DirectTV plays hardball
On Jan. 14, DirecTV stopped carrying The Weather Channel after negotiations broke down, claiming in a statement that the channel had strayed too far from its mission -- "Consumers understand there are now a variety of other ways to get weather coverage, free of reality show clutter."
But there are reports that the satellite broadcaster wants to cut fees it pays The Weather Channel, co-owned by NBCUniversal, by 20 percent -- which might lead to other cable carriers following suit. It also added a no-frills, all-weather-all-the-time Colorado newcomer called WeatherNation instead, which uses a three-hour taped loop instead of broadcasting live.
The Weather Channel cried foul, calling WeatherNation a cheaper version of itself without the kind of experience and deep bench strength it possesses -- 220 meteorologists are on staff there. It also took out full-page ads in major newspapers Wednesday urging DirecTV subscribers to contact Congress and switch providers and demanding the cable carrier pay viewers' cancellation fees once they do switch. More than 4 million customers have complained about DirecTV's move on keeptheweatherchannel.com, the company claims, more than 400,000 have called and emailed DirecTV, and more than 90,000 have pledged to switch providers.
Jim Cantore, whose reports while knee-deep in storm surges and hurricane winds have made him a star on The Weather Channel, also appeared on CNN last Sunday, painting DirecTV's action as a possible threat to public safety.
"Whether you're an emergency manager's office, whether you're even at the National Weather Service or a local TV station, your first hint at what's to come is from The Weather Channel," he said.
Really? National Weather Service meteorologists were furious, noting that the government agency happens to provide The Weather Channel with most of its observational and predictive weather data from satellites, radars, computerized weather models and current conditions.
Mr. Cantore later said he misspoke and was back on duty this past week covering "Winter Storm Janus" as it bore down on Washington, D.C. Weather Channel spokeswoman Shirley Powell noted that "Jim loves the National Weather Service and they love him."
45-day forecast?
Amid all of this, AccuWeather, apparently sensing an opportunity, decided to move up its announcement of its own 24/7 weather channel, scheduled to debut later this year.
That news was met with some head-scratching by meteorologists, who are still deriding AccuWeather's decision last summer to introduce a 45-day "forecast" in defiance of commonly accepted scientific norms, which state that any prediction beyond seven days is mostly guesswork based on long-term climatological averages.
"There cannot be skill at those ranges -- it goes back to chaos theory," meteorologist Steve Tracton told the Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang.
AccuWeather's founder, Joel Myers, was something of a wunderkind when he studied meteorology at Penn State University, but today, many academics consider him more of a showman, in pursuit of profit, sometimes at the expense of accuracy.
One Penn State meteorology instructor, Jon Nece, had his class compare AccuWeather's 45-day forecasts with standardized climatological averages and found AccuWeather's record ended up being worse.
AccuWeather spokesman Justin Robert was unrepentant.
"That was essentially one study by one group over a couple of different locations over a discrete period of time," he said. "Is the 45-day forecast going to be as accurate as the next day forecast? Certainly not, but we are providing much more detail in a forecast form, a greater level of detail, than you can find anywhere else. We're responding to this hunger out there for information, delivered on a detailed basis."
While people sometimes accuse Accuweather of gimmickry, competitors usually end up copying it, he added. AccuWeather took the basic windchill factor taught in meteorological schools, he said, and, using a proprietary algorhythm, introduced "RealFeel," and then The Weather Channel came up with "FeelsLike."
"We're the ones who introduced the five-day, the seven-day, the 10-day, the 25-day and the 30-day forecast and people scoffed at every one of them. Now -- at least up to the 10-day -- they're the industry standard."
Perhaps, but do people really need two weather cable channels or any?
Sure they do, especially this winter, where a certain sense of community seems to have evolved as we remain trapped together under a iron dome of cold that dulls the sky, bleaches dark asphalt streets a chalky white and makes metal railings burn to the touch.
Have a nice week.

The hummingbird logo of the International Diabetes Federation has its origins in the Dutch Diabetes Association, an organization for people with diabetes founded in 1945.
Known as "the bird of hope", a hummingbird was chosen by the Dutch Diabetes Association since it symbolised the optimism of people with diabetes as they found ways to manage their condition, overcome its challenges and deal with its potentially devastating complications.
The logo has since represented and united millions of people throughout the world with a message of hope in the fight against diabetes.

Insert sig line of your choosing here.
JP3 made a lot of money, so number 4 shouldn't be far behind.
Insert sig line of your choosing here.
If they make a part 4 I swear I will kill myself. Part 3 was probably the biggest disappointment of the summer for me. The first was great and the second was ok and the 3rd should have been a made for tv movie or not made at all.
If I remember correctly some one on these forums said to buy the first two and wait for the third to come on on tv or something.
Thats because Steven didn't direct the 3rd moive,hopefuly he will for the 4th.
Insert sig line of your choosing here.
hopefully the fourth film will star michael cain, and will be about the son of the original t-rex who's out for revenge. wait, that was jaws 4, what was i thinking.

Wow good one i was just thinking maby some iceage dinos, but Michael cain Jeez i may have to settel for the bronze.
Insert sig line of your choosing here.
I've heard the 3rd film described as "a great B movie, a bad A movie." I thought it was pretty light plot-wise, but the dinosaurs were still cool.
I think they should do a 4th one, to wrap up the series. Have Steven direct it, and have it be about that InGen company. About mysterious experiments they were doing, and the park was just a cover. You can have military guys, a couple of returning cast members, stuff like that.
"Watch this, I'm going to horrify you into a coma..."
The problem with the third movie is that the villian in the first two films was man and his desire to control everything and wreak havoc with the natural order. The third filmed boils down to: "AHHHHH!!! DINOSAURS!! RUN!!!" which is pretty weak. It turned the dinos into one dimensional movie monsters. And that 'call in the marines' ending was ludicrous. The real problem with the film is that there is no sense of wonder and awe when you see the dinos anymore. that was the coolest thing about the first movie, seeing that Brontosaurus and hearing Willimas' score swell. i felt like a 7 year old again... Now I feel old...
Steve won't direct anymore. Joe johnston gets to direct the next one, and if he hasn't driven the franchise into the ground, then they should get somebody new (like me!) to do the 5th. The two kids will be the stars of the next one. Tee hee.
There WILL be a 4th. If you listen to the commentary by the F/X crew, when the pterodactyls are flying away, they say "we will find out what happens to them!" And so basically they're saying a 4th is planned.
Jurassic Park III itself is, well... hard to describe. Definitely needed Malcolm again, I mean Grant knew it was site B and he must've known Malcolm had gone there before the San Diego incident, you'd think that he'd presaude Malcolm to join him. Not too mention the fact that with that there are alot of goofs and plots holes and such... Like ok, after the whole San Diego incident, don't you think they'd be patrolling the island and keeping non-authorized people away from it? Jurassic Park III is a good comedy and time passer but the only way this film would've been good especially since Lost World didn't need a sequel in the first place would of been if Steven directed it. We didn't even get to see body parts ripped off...
Here's a plot hole: If Grant had NO idea what the raptors looked like before going to the island, shouldn't the raptor he saw in his nightmare on the plane been one from the 1st movie?
Ok, the whole marine thing, it was rather campy and just plain dull... Since when do they issue limo driver impersonators for standing alone on an island of dinosaurs with a bullhorn?
A boat full of people who had the upper hand couldn't stop a T-rex that was trapped below... and 4 amphibians were supposed to stand up to Spinosaurases? Like I said, it's an ok comdey and time-passer, but this is in no way what a threequel to a GOOD movie series should've been like. They had a lot of nerve just making Grant be a sell-out like that. Ya know? Ok theres my movie review.
"Hokey packaging and ancient gimmicks are no match for good detail on your figure, kid."

Maverick Ohio Democrat Dennis Kucinich is backing away from his impeach Barack Obama statements after it has become apparent that his fellow Democrats and the leadership of his party has no desire to back him.
So far, the only other member of Congress to back Kucinich is Texas Republican Ron Paul who is as much of an outsider to his party as Kucinich is to Democrats.
Youre not going to get much support for impeachment when the two people pushing it are the leading whack jobs for each of their parties. They lack the credibility to lead such an effort.
Polls show little public enthusiasm for impeachment.
Sorry RK looks like the Republicans are going to have to win an election if they are going to get Obama out of office.

Shane Reilly's recovery nothing short of divine intervention
SPOKANE, Wash. - A Spokane man shot and left for dead is now defying all odds, making a recovery some say is nothing short of divine intervention.
KXLY first met Shane Reilly in 2011, six months after he was shot by a man who thought he was a sex offender. Reilly is not, and was the focus of an Extreme Team segment in August of 2011.
Reilly is an incredible man; his determination and sheer will to get better and live a normal life nothing short of remarkable. Next month will mark two years since he was shot and no one -- not even doctors or his parents -- could imagine he'd be where he is today.
"It's, it's just a miracle, it's amazing," Shane's dad, Rick Reilly said.The Road Back
When Shane Reilly needed to write an essay for English 97 he knew right away what he had to say.
"The most difficult choice I think I ever had to make was should I give up on my life or should I fight to become normal," Shane said, reading from his essay.
It was a decision Shane made in the blink of an eye.
"I was talking to him, saying he had to fight, this was it, you've got 24 hours, you have to fight and I opened my eyes and he was looking at me," Rick recalled.
On March 5, 2011, Shane was shot in the head by Robert Startin. The bullet pierced his ear, shattering his C1 and C2 vertebrae.
"99-percent of the time with a C1 injury you die," Rick said.
Doctors told Shane's dad to prepare to take him off life support.
"I just said 'No, not for 24 hours, what's another 24 hours?'" Rick said.
It turns out it was everything. Six hours later Shane opened his eyes. He spent seven months in the hospital and rehab, learning how to do everything all over again; how to breathe, how to eat, the most basic of movements.
When he was ready to go home, the KXLY Extreme Team was waiting for him. The team remodeled his room to help with his recovery.
"Well they did two years worth of work on four days, there were fifty people here, I mean," Rick said.
"The last time you guys seen me it took two people to transfer from my wheelchair to bed," Shane said.
Fast forward to a year later and Shane is now stronger and more determined than ever.
"There's no medical reason why I can move, for my injury being up so high, there's not a whole lot of documented cases, it, it just doesn't happen," he said.
Shane can now walk from the living room to his bedroom. He's up to 150 feet.
"Every time I go to a doctor's office they all come out to see me, see how I'm doing, even doctors I haven't seen, they just want to stare and see and shake my hand and see how I'm doing," he said.
It's clear hundreds of hours of therapy are paying off, but, the heart of his recovery is much greater than his 6'5" frame.
"The will to live is amazing," Rick said.
"I don't want to be in a wheelchair forever so that makes me want to keep going," Shane added.
Shane isn't shy about sharing his story, "because it might help somebody else, not to give up when things get tough."
That message is making a big impact, especially on the Spokane Community College campus where Shane is now going back to school.
"I will someday be able to live my life the way I want," Shane said, reading from his English essay. "I will have to go through countless hours of therapy. This is my choice, it will be worth every second of hard work sweat and pain and that's it."
Shane hopes to be out of his wheelchair by the time he's 30, which gives him about a year. And when he's out of that chair and walking, KXLY will be there too.

We're Big Apple bound this week in our 50 states of incorporation series as we learn what it takes to form an LLC and incorporate in New York!
AOL, HBO, J.P. Morgan Chase, NBC, Time Warner – to list the sheer number of major corporations that call NYC home to their headquarters would undoubtedly be an entire paragraph (or two) unto itself. Forbes summed it up nicely in a piece ranking the state on the 50 best states for business list, stating that if New York were a country, the state's $1.2 trillion dollar economy would be the 14th largest in the world after Spain.
Whether you're working in finance, banking, or fashion, seemingly every type of industry has a place in New York. There are plenty of VC investment opportunities to be found and lots of resources within the state as well. But New York also suffers from high costs in areas concerning taxes, living, and healthcare. Thumbtack.com ranked the state with a D+ in overall friendliness and an F for ease in starting a business last year – ouch.
However, the old adage does ring true that if you can make in New York, you can make it anywhere. If you think you and your business are ready to take on the concrete jungle and incorporate in New York, read on for more information on how to get started!

A deadly storm system continued to sweep through the nation's midsection on Tuesday night and early Wednesday, causing widespread destruction and injuries in several states. Pounding rain, flash flooding and strong winds damaged dozens of homes and toppled trees. The violent storm killed 173 people across five states.
This round of wild weather comes just one day after a powerful storm system killed 11 people in Arkansas and Mississippi. On Monday, a tornado ripped through the town of Vilonia, Arkansas, in Faulkner County. The twister flattened homes, sent cars flying and tore down power lines. "It snapped overhead poles like they were toothpicks," said Faulkner County spokesman Stephan Hawks. "It was a heck of a little tornado."
A Season of Twisters
Much of the South was still struggling to pick up the pieces caused by flooding and earlier twisters when the latest series of storms struck on Tuesday. According to the Weather Channel, more than 290 confirmed tornadoes—and counting—have touched down in the U.S. in April. The number shatters the previous record, set in 1974, of 267 tornadoes in the same month.
The National Weather Service issued several tornado warnings in the region on Tuesday. Officials in Alabama reported two suspected tornadoes in Marshall County, near Birmingham. According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, Texas, at least one twister had hit between the small towns of Edom and Van, in East Texas.
"You could see lumber and stuff swirling in it," said resident Rhonda Modesitt, 45. She and her 15-year-old son had watched the tornado spin toward their apartment. "You could hear it coming through and then it got really still."
On April 22, a twister slammed Lambert Airport in St. Louis, Missouri, causing severe damage and chaos. The airport was closed after the tornado hit, but is now operating at near full capacity again. It was one of five twisters to hit Eastern Missouri on Friday.
The storm system is set to head east across the nation this week, affecting states from New York to Georgia.

Looking for Alaska brilliantly chronicles the indelible impact one life can have on another. A stunning debut, it marks John Green's arrival as an important new voice in contemporary fiction.
(P)2006 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
Making the world better one review at a time.
"Decidedly adult content..."
This is the story of Miles, a young man who moves into a boarding school in Alabama where he meets beautiful, brilliant, but deeply troubled Alaska Young. It is the story of Miles' friendship with Alaska from beginning to end.
Looking for Alaska is a coming of age story with decidedly adult content - drinking, smoking, sex, love, friendship and death. John Green creates an interesting cast of young characters and catapults them into very adult situations. He is not afraid to make his young characters face death in all of its complexity.
Parts of the book are humorous, parts are heartbreaking. At times the book seems to move a little slowly, and you can tune out then tune back in to find you really haven't missed much. The narrator does an excellent job with the male characters, but his rendition of Alaska leaves a bit to be desired. Frankly, he makes her sound at times like an empty-headed redneck.
Overall this book carries a message of hope. It reminds us of people who have impacted our lives profoundly, leaving deep imprints upon our hearts. It also foreshadows a certain peace in death, suggesting that where we are going may be more beautiful than where we are.
Short, Simple, No Spoilers
"Humorous YA for Adults"
In the YA realm, this is one of my top 7 favorites.
John Greene's sense of humor is delightfully sarcastic. The characters were well written and I felt like I was at the school, in the barn, at the basketball games, etc. with them.
Yes. I enjoy Jeff's performances. I didn't "love" his Alaska voice, but it didn't detract from the story.
I didn't cry, but found it humorous and marginally sad at the end. Alaska was a little too self-absorbed and I didn't care as much about her charcacter's sudden ending.
I wouldn't want my younger daughter to read this due to the continuous drinking, smoking, and mischief. However, I enjoyed it as an adult.
"Simply Amazing."
The first Green book I listened to was "The Fault In Our Stars" and I was skeptic that any other of his books could come close to its brilliance.
Fortunately, I was wrong.
Looking for Alaska is billed as Young Adult fiction, but like so many YA novels, it easily transcends other genres. The book follows the life of Miles (aka "Pudge") as he seeks "The Great Perhaps" in a southern boarding school. There he meets Alaska Young and he falls for her quickly. The books follows the trials and tribulations of Life for teenagers, but it goes deeper and examines The Big Questions.
The narrator does a fantastic job with all of the voices -- Pudge, the deep voiced Colonel, Romanian Lara, and throaty Alaska.
This book does not disappoint! My only gripe is the length -- I wish it was longer !
"Beautiful story"
This book is wonderfully written. I think i enjoyed it so much because i have lived each of these relationships and though i went home to my own bed each night instead of bunking in some boarding school the experiences still apply. The characters are all strong and the way the book is written you see how each event affects another. The narrator is great and keeps your attention. Give this book a chance and i promise you will not be disappointed. My favorite quote?:
"If people were rain, i was drizzle and she was hurricane." <3 it.
"Great Story! Great Narrator!"
Even though this is a YA book, once again, I feel like this is more of an adult book. I know that the characters are in High School, but their expericences are mature. So, I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone younger than 16.
That said, this is an excellent story. John Green makes his characters become so real. You feel a deep connection to them. Narrator, Jeff Woodman, once again, makes a great story even better, making him by far my favorite.
You will love this story!
"Great dialogue but the story rarely moves"
After really enjoying "The Fault in our Stars," I was really looking forward to "Looking for Alaska." This novel is about a high school junior who is starting at a boarding school. I teach at a prep school, and I enjoy good novels about high school life. Pudge (the nickname of the protagonist) spends the first half of the book making connections with a small circle of friends at his new school. Sex, alcohol, cigarettes, and pranks are at the center of these kids' existences. This novel captured the teen banter very well. The author has a great ear for teen dialogue. But this story does not come close to capturing the full school experience. Only one teacher is mentioned, plus "the Eagle," the notorious dean of students, in charge of discipline. Only one class is mentioned, and absent is the unhealthy preoccupation with grades which permeates prep school life these days. This novel captured the three main characters so well - Pudge, his roommate (the Colonel), and Alaska, the charismatic but complicated girl who steals Pudge's heart. The dynamic between these three kids is great, and was enough for me to like this novel but not love it. Over halfway through the story, there is one dramatic event (which I won't spoil). Very little happens after that beside an extended reaction to that event. The narrator was excellent and almost enough for me to push this to 4 stars.
I love espionage, legal, and detective thrillers but listen to most genres. Very frequent reviews. No plot spoilers! Please excuse my typos!
"John Green first YA novel! His best?"
Before John Green it seemed that most fiction for teens was science fiction. Green, Harlan Coben, and many other have changed that. Big Time!
Most "experts" seem to rate Looking for Alaska above The Fault in Our Stars. I disagree, but looking for Alaska deserves 5 stars. It is the fascinating and haunting story of teens Miles Halter and Alaska Young.
Highly recommended!
It was a good day when I realized I could combine my two hobbies- reading AND knitting. Audible has seen me through many projects!
"Wonderful Coming of Age Story"
I want to be careful that I don't spoil anything- but I enjoyed this book immensely. The reader is terrific and I revelled in every minute I listened to this book. It absolutely covers the span of what it's like to be a teenager and the emotions and conflicts that are apart of being that. I am newly converted John Green fan, but man, everything I get my hands on, I love.
"John Green rocks my socks."
This is an amazing book and the audio version is very well done. It is more than just a young adult's novel. I would recommend it to people of most any age.
"Intense and Deep"
I just loved, loved, loved this book! While some people choose to categorize this book as Romance, I think that even though there is some falling in love, there is no actual romance, but rather a story of friendship, loyalty and the pursuit of meaning.
This book explores some of the deepest questions of humankind and even wanders a bit into how some of the main religions in the world answer them. But mainly it is about a group of friends discovering and questioning the meaning of life and existence, and how they choose to live it.
The plot is absolutely engaging and it sucks you in from moment one. It is unexpected and refreshing. I wouldn't have guessed the major twist of the story, but if even if it made me sad, it was necessary in the end to get through the message.
John Green has the spectacular ability to merge profound subjects into a fun story about friendship, high school and taking chances, in a way you won't even notice all the layers the story has until the end, because it is so easy to glide through it.
Pudge was an exceptional character. He was the perfect impersonation of a boy trying to fit in and finding his way in life. Like your regular misfit, who finally found his place in Culver Creek. He was fun and loyal and pretty much I would've really enjoyed being part of his gang. The irregular group of friends he found there was a unique set of people; each brought something different to the table and the result was a bundle of weird awesomeness. I loved the Colonel and his audacity and loyalty; Takumi and his wits; Lara and her innocence; and, of course, Alaska, and her creativity. I just loved them all individually and as a group, but most of all, the way they fit together.
In the end the message was loud and clear and this book took root in my heart. For me, the pursuit of the Great Perhaps was the way to survive the labyrinth. Because we are all in the labyrinth but what makes us different is how we choose to live in it.
Jeff Woodman did and amazing job with the guy's voices. He definitely picked up their personalities and he was a master with their different accents. He got Takumi's and Lara's accents perfectly and he nailed Dr Hyde's old voice, just from hearing him breathing with difficulty you could tell the old man had his days counted. However, I detested what he did with Alaska. From her physical description and the way she behaved you would guess she was a feminine smart girl. But that wasn't the vibe I got from her voice. She sounded more like a drag queen really. She was bold, fearless and she liked to swear, yes, but she was a teenage girl, and she wasn't supposed to sound like that. I'm sorry to say so, but it weakened my enjoyment of the book. Other than that the narration was fabulous. I would totally forget where I was when listening to this book, and I found myself several times laughing out loud.
"A great read however not my favourite JG book."
The chapters are very distinct and each set a particular mood. The way the book is written allows the reader to enter a very similar mindset to the protagonist; creating a wave of emotions that chop and change throughout the novel.
The thoughts and reflections that "Pudge" has 136 days after.
The accents of the Southern characters seemed very similar and at times the speech felt slightly rushed.
She loved mysteries so much she became one.
This is a fantastic read but I didn't feel the connection to the characters that I have felt reading other John Green books. In a lot of instances everyone apart from Alaska Young felt somewhat under-developed.
"deep and beautiful"
John green's books are much deeper than they appear. this is another young and beautiful book with so much more to say than teenage problems.
"Very good story. John Green continues to impress!"
Very good story. The characters are real flawed humans which makes the story much more relatable. Love the use of chapter titles!
Would highly recommend this book to anyone fancying a good listen.
"Wonderful book amazing twist"
I really enjoyed this book and it's now one of my favourites. Thanks John Green! 😘
"Classic John Green"
This is the second book I have read from John Green. just brilliant!!!! The story is unique but everyone can relate to elements of it in their school years. The characters are very human and believable. I could not stop listening to the book once I started.
"Great book with lots of emotions"
I would recommend this, because it is a great book to get back to high school, that offers great thoughts and story line.
When all the friends sit together in the barn drinking wine and have a great night.
Reading the book was great but the way Jeff Woodman read it brought the story alive and actually brought thoughts and emotions closer.
It did! It made me cry for about three hours but it also made me laugh and smile at other moments.
liked it alot. could have listend to it over and over again without being repetitive.
"Some characters more believable than others"
I loved the narrator's take on the Colonel, but the voice of Alaska was really annoying for me and actually detracted from the story. I'm not sure if it was because of the male voice imitating a female with an accent, but it made everything Alaska said sound sarcastic and idiotic. Actually, I've found this can be the case with other audiobooks that have male narrators. The male characters tend to sound more serious and realistic whereas the girls come across as a little too affected.
"I found I had many parallels with Pudge"
I hope I find another book that impacts me like this one has. Thanks John Green and don't forget to be awesome.
This story honestly has a place in my heart it moved me and I have never felt something so uncommon with a Charactor from a book but Alaska young not only pulled Miles into her reckless world but also engrossed me in it too. This story honestly felt like I was there living what Miles was talking about! This is such an amazing book and highly recommend it if you are looking for a good read

Contract electronics manufacturer Sanmina-SCI (SANM) this afternoon reported fiscal Q4 revenue that missed expectations but beat on the bottom line, and projected this quarter's results to fall below consensus.
Revenue in the three months ended in September fell 7%, year over year, to $1.58 billion, yielding EPS of 46 cents.
Analysts had been modeling $1.59 billion and 34 cents.
CEO Jure Sola said he was "pleased" with the results amidst what he called a "challenging economic environment," and noted what he called "strong" cash flow from operations of $121 million.
The company's outlook for this quarter "reflects conned uncertainty in the market, said Sola.
For the current quarter, Sanmina sees revenue in a range of $1.5 billion to $1.55 billion, and EPS, on an adjusted basis, of 31 cents to 37 cents.
That is below the average $1.6 billion and 37 cents.
Sanmina will host a conference call with analysts tomorrow morning, at 8:30 am, Eastern time, and you can catch the webcast of it here.

The technology transfer process allows Princeton discoveries to be translated into beneficial technologies and products. Ileana Cristea (left), an assistant professor of molecular biology, and Thomas Shenk, the James A. Elkins Jr. Professor in the Life Sciences, have discovered that enzymes called sirtuins have antiviral activity, a finding with potential benefits in treating viral diseases. Their discovery was made possible by the collaboration between two distinct areas of biology, proteomics (Cristea) and virology (Shenk).

Featured Story
Engaging in the enterprise of invention at Princeton
Posted December 12, 2011; 01:00 p.m.
From life-saving drugs to technologies that make people's lives easier, Princeton University researchers continually bring innovations to the marketplace for the benefit of society. Each year, about 300 members of the University research community engage in transferring their discoveries into products and services, according to the University's Office of Technology Licensing.
This year, the discoveries of Princeton inventors include a technique that could help drug companies uncover new cancer medicines; a technology that could reduce the high cost of monthly smartphone data plans; a new class of broad-spectrum antiviral drugs; and a DNA-analysis technology that processes thousands of individual molecules at a time.
These four technologies and the inventors behind them were among those honored Dec. 8 at Celebrate Princeton Invention, an annual event started in 2009 that brings University innovators together with industry partners and investors interested in commercializing Princeton discoveries.
"The inventions on display at Celebrate Princeton Invention are perfect examples of what Princeton's technology transfer process is all about — enabling the development of promising discoveries, often serendipitous, into products and services that are of great benefit to society and the economy" said A.J. Stewart Smith, dean for research and the Class of 1909 Professor of Physics at Princeton.

Over the past five years, University inventors have filed about 80 invention disclosures each year. Additionally, Princeton has been issued between 30 and 40 patents annually, said John Ritter, director of the Office of Technology Licensing, which handles the University's technology transfer activities, including filing invention disclosures and patent applications, helping to find corporate partners to license patented technologies, and assisting in the formation of startup companies.
"We pride ourselves in being very service oriented and working very closely with faculty members," Ritter said. "Often the easiest way to decide if a discovery is patentable is [for researchers] to just pick up the phone and call us."
By bringing Princeton discoveries to the marketplace, the University fills an important obligation to help transform the results of federally funded research into products and services for public benefit. The University also earns significant royalties and licensing fees, which have been used to pay for projects such as the new Frick Chemistry Laboratory. In 2010, Princeton earned nearly $96 million of income from these sources, the majority of which came from the sale of Alimta, a cancer drug discovered by Edward Taylor, the A. Barton Hepburn Professor of Chemistry Emeritus.
Among the innovations highlighted at Celebrate Princeton Invention this year was work by three faculty teams and one startup company, headed by a former postdoctoral researcher at Princeton; brief descriptions follow:
A DNA strand (blue) wraps around histone proteins (green) that can control gene activity through modifications (purple triangles) that help determine whether genes will be activated or silenced. Molecular biologist Benjamin Garcia is studying how these epigenetic modifications are involved in diseases such as cancer. (Image courtesy of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences)
Benjamin Garcia — Reverse ChIP for cancer drug screening
An assistant professor of molecular biology, Benjamin Garcia is interested in how proteins called histones can play a role in controlling genes, and as a result, health. These histones cling to DNA and direct whether it is active or silent. Changes or modifications to these histones make up the "epigenetic code," and certain changes are thought to promote cancer and other diseases.
Garcia and his colleagues have developed a technology to isolate individual histones and the gene to which they are attached. The technique is called reverse chromatin immunoprecipitation, or "Reverse ChIP."
"We are developing a method for researchers who want to look at only the histones on a certain gene of interest, so for example, involved in cancer," said Garcia, who collaborates with Gary LeRoy, a former postdoctoral researcher in Garcia's lab, and Johannes Dapprich of Generation Biotech, a biotechnology company in Lawrenceville, N.J.
A patent application has been filed for the technology as a way to screen drug candidates for treatment of cancer that arises from epigenetic changes.
Ileana Cristea and Thomas Shenk — New antiviral drugs that target common enzymes
Now working in laboratories on the same floor of Lewis Thomas Laboratory, Ileana Cristea and Thomas Shenk started collaborating about seven years ago, while Cristea was a postdoctoral researcher at Rockefeller University before coming to Princeton in 2009. In their latest partnership, Cristea, an assistant professor of molecular biology, and Shenk, the James A. Elkins Jr. Professor in the Life Sciences, have discovered that viral infections can be stemmed by enzymes called sirtuins, a finding with potential benefits in treating some diseases.
Their discovery that sirtuins have broad antiviral activity suggests that drugs that amplify sirtuin activity could be used to treat a number of viral diseases. "This collaboration between our labs has allowed us to integrate quite distinct fields of biology," said Cristea, who studies proteins whereas Shenk studies viruses. "This is what makes it such a fruitful collaboration," she said.
Their team includes Emre Koyuncu, a postdoctoral fellow in Shenk's lab, and Yana Miteva and Hanna Budayeva, graduate students in Cristea's lab. The work is supported by grants from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
A patent application has been filed on sirtuin activators as broad-spectrum antiviral therapeutics.
Mung Chiang — TUBE, Time-dependent Usage-based Broadband pricing Engineering
Professor of Electrical Engineering Mung Chiang likes to compare smartphone use to an all-you-can-eat Chinese restaurant where the customers come back hungrier every day. "Cellphone companies cannot meet the demand for downloading videos and other apps that people want to use, so they've had to move to tiered data plans and raise prices," Chiang said.
Given the growing demand to access the Internet and wireless services, Chiang and his team have developed a software solution for optimizing the performance and robustness of communication networks called TUBE, short for "Time-dependent Usage-based Broadband pricing Engineering."
Chiang's team has developed a software system that computes and delivers the right pricing incentives to help Internet service providers meet the challenges of growing bandwidth demand while providing users with ways to save on their monthly bills. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)
TUBE surveys how individuals use their smartphones and automatically figures out ways to shift downloads to off-peak hours. TUBE provides pricing incentives to meet the challenges of growing bandwidth demand while giving users choices to save on their monthly bills.
The project has received support from a National Science Foundation initiative to extend Internet service to rural and underserved areas, and the team is piloting the technology with a provider in Alaska.
Chiang's co-inventors include postdoctoral researchers Sangtae Ha and Soumya Sen and their teams as well as Carlee Joe-Wong, who began this project while an undergraduate and is now a first-year graduate student in applied mathematics. Joe-Wong called the experience of turning a theoretical model into a patentable technology "eye-opening." She said, "It was one of the factors that induced me to stay at Princeton and continue my education here."
BioNano Genomics
As a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton, Han Cao studied ways to apply silicon chip fabrication technologies to biological research. The project involved several principle investigators, including Stephen Chou, professor of electrical engineering, and Robert Austin, professor of physics, and was supported by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

(Image courtesy of BioNan Genomics)
The team developed nano-sized channels etched in silicon materials that could separate individual molecules of DNA so that they could be studied further.
Working with the Office of Technology Licensing, the team patented the discoveries and today, Cao is chief scientific officer of BioNano Genomics, a startup company that markets the nanoAnalyzer, a machine for detecting mutations and other features in DNA molecules.
Other inventors honored at Celebrate Princeton Invention were: Edgar Choueiri, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, for his three-dimensional sound system; Robert Prud'homme, professor of biological and chemical engineering, and his team for the creation of Flash Nanoprecipitation, a technique for encapsulating drugs inside nanoparticles to improve their delivery to disease sites in the body; Jean Schwarzbauer, professor of molecular biology, together with Jeffrey Schwartz, professor of chemistry, for coatings that can be applied to artificial hips and other medical implants to keep them from becoming dislodged in the body; and Robert Cava, the Russell Wellman Moore Professor of Chemistry, Nai Phuan Ong, the Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics, and Ali Yazdani, professor of physics, for innovative materials called topological insulators that have the potential to improve electronic devices.
