Even if it's broken, it still works for 'armed' robbery, as the threat is still perceived. If everyone followed partydevil's plan, it wouldn't even have to be loaded.
hey hey, can you tell what my plan was? ive been posting in this topic for a while on all different kinds of subjects. but havn't followed it anymore since the other guy said it really was to hard for him to acknowledges it all can be printed in the not so far future.
however, of course does it still work in a robbery when it is a black painted water pistol. it is the thread such object applies that is enough. (also the reason why real looking toy guns are banned here. (and no we do not have a outright ban on guns, it's just very hard to get one legally))

I didn't mean "plan" as in "x, y, and z should be done for gun control", but your procedure for complying with robbers. Sorry for not being clearer.

I'm not saying 'do nothing', but regulations alone will never erradicate the problem entirely.
Of course not. As nicho said above, measures all around need to be taken. Just putting a law into effect does nothing if it's not enforced and if other areas aren't likewise addressed.
How strict?
At the very least, some sort of firearms/safety training, along with a background check. As for what said check would look for, any sort of criminal record, history of anger issues or serious mental illnesses, which could then be investigated further if present.
Not any and everyone should have a gun. Responsibility is a key part, and unfortunately a great many people are irresponsible, immature, impulsive, and irrational.
If someone wants to own a potentially lethal weapon for any given reason, they should first have to prove they know what's what about it, how to keep it away from children/safe storage, when to use it and what to use it for. A handgun in the side-drawer which you keep loaded is -not- okay, unless perhaps you live alone. There are other methods for self defense which are non-lethal which work perfectly well.
Can you give me any good reason why we should let any and everyone have firearms in their houses? Without any checks over who? The freedom argument is bull**** when thousands are dying every year from morons misusing guns or their vast prevalence making it easy for criminals to attain them.

Locally it may work as a deterrant. Knowing that breaking into any house in the town could easily mean a hole in your head is a bit of a downer. Knowing that you're 100% able to waltz in and get what you want without resistance is attractive.

Just thought I'd blow your whale crap out of the water
Time to blow your own crap out of the water.
Stats from WHO2012 and UNODC 2012 Total UK deaths by firearms per 100,000, 0.04
In the US? 3.20
The often quoted statistic of 2k violent crimes per 100,000 in the UK, versus that of 466 in the US is one of unbelievable facade and lying. Why? What most people don't know is that, is that the definitions for "violent crime" are very different in the US and Britain. The FBI's Uniform Crime Reports defines a "violent crime" as one of four specific offenses: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault.
The British Home Office, by contrast, has a substantially different definition of violent crime. The British definition includes all "crimes against the person," including simple assaults, all robberies, and all "sexual offenses," as opposed to the FBI, which only counts aggravated assaults and "forcible rapes."
When you look at how this changes the meaning of violent crime, it becomes clear how misleading it is to compare rates of violent crime in the US and the UK. You're simply comparing two different sets of crimes. In 2009/10, for instance (annual data is from September to September), British police recorded 871,712 crimes against persons, 54,509 sexual offenses, and 75,101 robberies in England and Wales. Based on the 2010 population of 55.6 million, this gives a staggeringly high violent crime rate of 1,797 offenses per 100,00 people.
But of the 871,000 crimes against the person, less than half (401,000) involved any actual injury. The remainder were mostly crimes like simple assault without injury, harassment, 'possession of an article with a blade or point,' and causing 'public fear, alarm, or distress.' And of the 54,000 sexual offenses, only a quarter (15,000) were rapes. This makes it abundantly clear that the naive comparison of crime rates either wildly overstates the amount of violence in the UK or wildly understates it in the US.
The lower rates of crime and violent gun homicide in France, Germany, Italy and Spain coincide somehow, for perhaps god knows what reason, with stricter and more restraining gun laws than America.
Perhaps if statistics were looked at with more critical analysis, one would find a deeper meaning underneath a thin veneer of poor lies.

All these gun regulations are stupid. You think that taking away the right to won firearms is going to help the people? DO YOU really think that will stop psycopaths from getting hands on guns? If we can't own guns how are we going to protect ourselves if lets say pscyopath McGee broke into your house with an assault weapon. How would you protect yourself? It even says in the constitution's 2nd amendment, and I quote,
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed
. So the government cannot interfer with our ability to own firearms.
Also, you know what tyrannical dictators and Tyrannical states take away first? Firearms.
Think about this next time you say the government should take away guns.
Posted May 14, '13 at 11:35pm
Yes it will. Dozens of nations have proven that for the last century or so. Gun control does not only entail stricter gun background checks, banning of certain guns, or stricter inter-state control that will affect legal buyers, sufficient steps have to be undertaken to stamp out illegal sources of guns. Otherwise, that'll be a self-harming policy.
How would I protect myself? In such a case, the number of assault weapons would be drastically reduced and prevented from falling into the hands of psychopaths.
I'm very sure that your small arms would be effective against the world's most powerful military. And no, I disagree. Look at Iraq, where guns were legal under Saddam.
So the government cannot interfer with our ability to own firearms.
The Constitution is not a magical slab of stone with a list of Commandments. It is a list of laws that was considered prevalent, necessary, just for it's time. Fast forward 200 years, times have changed wildly. Guns have evolved, society has metamorphosed. If the whole Constitution is merely taken as infallible, you live in an archaic society with archaic rules. It is bound up in a romantic mythology, which though well deserved for time immortal, should not grant it the status of ''worship'' and regarded as untouchable. If a constitution no longer meets the exigencies of a society's "evolving standard of decency", and the people wish to amend or replace the document, there is nothing stopping them from doing so in the manner which was envisioned by the drafters: through the amendment process.
Posted May 15, '13 at 6:33am
i would say that no1 needs a gun unless they can give a good reason why they need a gun. (beside the background checks and training befor actually getting one.) and also allot of bureaucracy to stop people from trying to get one when they do not need one. + these checks and trainings should be repeated once in the 2 year or so.
Posted May 15, '13 at 11:32am
The Constitution is not a magical slab of stone with a list of Commandments. It is a list of laws that was considered prevalent,
For the laws of a country the constitution is supposed to be such a thing. A country couldn't be the same it just throws out it's constitution. So your saying if I was the prime minister of Great Britain I could just be like "Out with the old laws, its my way now"? New laws cannot be in violations of a country's constitution.
Did you ever consider that the video of Saddam allowing guns to be purchased wasn't staged? Also in North Korea you can't exactly own guns,and if you do your in the military. Also what was something Hitler and Stalin did? They took away guns. Also if the U.S. was invaded by ground forces they would have a hell of a time trying to conquer. There are ~88 people who own guns out of every 100 people. All things aside a hunting rifle is essentially a sniper rifle that is legal.
In such a case, the number of assault weapons would be drastically reduced and prevented from falling into the hands of psychopaths.
If you didn't realize this, bad people don't play by the rules. Syria used chemical weapons agaisnt their own people. North Korea broke all the restrictions to what the UN said they couldn't do. So what makes you think it is 100% possible that someone could not find an illegal means to obtain one of these weapons.
Posted May 15, '13 at 12:26pm
a constitution is not holy scripture. as the world changes, ethics and morals changes. and so should a constitution be open for changes. if the constitution isn't open for changes then your laws are walking behind on reality after some time. and indeed new laws can't be made when they violate the constitution. thats why the constitution has to be updated from time to time.
Syria used chemical weapons agaisnt their own people.
proof it... if they are being used, they can just aswell have been used by the "rebels".
North Korea broke all the restrictions to what the UN said they couldn't do.
ever thought of the option that NK just doesn't care about the UN?

New Hampshire Patients Still Waiting for Gov. to Sign Medical Marijuana Bill
By Scott Gacek | The Daily Chronic July 18, 2013CONCORD, NH — New Hampshire residents anxiously awaiting the legalization of medical marijuana in the Granite State will have to keep waiting, at least for a little while longer.
The New Hampshire Legislature passed House Bill 573 in June, which will allow state residents with serious illnesses obtain up to two ounces of medical marijuana from state licensed dispensaries, but the bill — and about three dozen others — have yet to reach the desk of Governor Maggie Hassan.
According to reports by the Associated Press, House Speaker Terie Norelli has the bill on her desk and is expected to sign it sometime this week before sending it to Senate President Peter Bragdon for his signature. Only then will it be sent to the desk of Gov. Hassan, who has expressed support for medical marijuana in New Hampshire and is expected to sign the bill.
Once received by the Governor, Hassan will have five days to act on the bill. The House Speaker and Senate President, however, are not bound by any such deadlines, and the current hold-up seems to be Speaker Norelli, who's aide says the Portsmouth Democrat was traveling last week and will sign the medical marijuana bill later this week.
The bill will become law immediately upon Hassan's signature, but the first dispensaries are not expected to open until 2015.
Although the original bill had allowed for patients and caregivers to be able to grow their own medical marijuana until the dispensaries opened, the final version that passed had that provision removed, and the law will not allow any protection for patients until the first dispensaries are open.
The bill calls for a commission implementing the new medical marijuana program to be appointed as soon as possible.
Unless Illinois Governor Patrick Quinn signs House Bill 1, their recently passed medical marijuana bill, first, New Hampshire will become the 19th medical marijuana state in the US, and the final New England state to authorize medical marijuana usage.
The District of Columbia also has approved the medical use of marijuana, and Maryland approved a medical marijuana research program earlier this year.
Under New Hampshire's medical marijuana legislation, four medical marijuana dispensaries will be allowed to open state-wide. The dispensaries must grow their own marijuana, and will be allowed 3 mature plants, 12 seedlings and 6 ounces for each patient registered at the dispensary, with a maximum of 80 mature plants, 160 seedlings, and 80 ounces of ready-to-consume medical marijuana at any time.
The ability for patients or designated caregivers to grow their own marijuana was eliminated by the Senate before the bill's final passage.
To qualify for medical marijuana, New Hampshire residents must be a patient of the recommending doctor for at least 90 days, have tried other remedies and have exhibited certain symptoms or ailments such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, and HIV/AIDS. Post traumatic stress, however, was removed from the list of qualifying conditions.

I'd say that Illinois may have beat NH to it. The governor in Illinois has 60 days to act. If not signed or amendatorily vetoed, it's my understanding that the bill as passed by the state legislature becomes law. The bill was passed on May 17. Today is July 18. Everyone's keeping quiet, so who knows, maybe just more dirty Illinois politics…
Good Luck, New Hampshire.-
"The governor in Illinois has 60 days to act. If not signed or
amendatorily vetoed, it's my understanding that the bill as passed by
the state legislature becomes law."NH is not much different in this regard.
"During session, governor must sign or veto legislation within 5
days after transmittal (Sundays and holidays excepted), or it becomes
law without signature. If transmittal occurs after adjournment and
legislation is not acted upon within 5 days (Sundays and holidays
excepted), legislation is pocket vetoed."

To a degree both engrossing and alarming, the story of fast food is the story of postwar America. Though created by a handful of mavericks, the fast food industry has triggered the homogenization of our society. Fast food has hastened the malling of our landscape, widened the chasm between rich and poor, fueled an epidemic of obesity, and propelled the juggernaut of American cultural imperialism abroad. That's a lengthy list of charges, but Eric Schlosser makes them stick with an artful mix of first-rate reportage, wry wit, and careful reasoning.
Each day, one-quarter of the adults in the United States visit fast food restaurants, spending more than $110 billion dollars in the year 2000. Schlosser examines the franchise arrangement, with its curious blend of protection, paternalism and profit as adeptly as he delves into the specifics of what's in the beef. Also on Schlosser's hit list: the susceptibility of meat to dangerous pathogens such as e. coli; the slaughter of nearly 600 cows per hour (this American packinghouse standard, he reveals, is nearly 6 times the rate of European slaughterhouses); an in-depth look into serious nutritional, environmental, and cultural questions. "Fast Food Nation" is a groundbreaking work of investigation and cultural history that has changed the way America thinks about the way it eats.
"Fast Food Nation" the movie is slated to be released by Fox Searchlight on November 17, 2006. Starring Ethan Hawke, Avril Lavigne, Patricia Arquette, and Greg Kinnear.
Praise for Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal…

Former Miss USA Susie Castillo was NOT "molested" during an airport pat down ... according to the TSA which tells TMZ its officer acted totally appropriately.
A rep for TSA tells TMZ, "We have reviewed this passenger's screening experience and found that the officer followed proper procedures."
Castillo claims a TSA agent at Dallas Fort Worth Airport touched her genitals four times during an inspection last week.
TSA added it is "always seeking to strike the right balance between privacy and security while providing the security that the American people want and deserve."
@Yes, so you think it's OK then for terrorists to hide weapons in their vaginas then. Something seems wrong with that logic.
Seeing as how 9/11 was inside job that statement is lame.
I'm so tired of this pretend security at the airports that if I can drive to the place within a day I'll do that over flying. Current TSA security is designed to make people think they are safe, not to actually make flying any safer.
The TSA is an out of control, ineffective group that fulfills no useful purpose. The idiots that think somehow we are safer with the TSA do not have a clue as to how much they miss. This is only about government control of the people, that have now been placed in the roll of servant.
@westboro is awesome....relly? sexual assault? What kind of an idiot would consider this rape or sexual assault? They are doing their jobs for our own protection, bitches! I wonder if real victims of sexual assault/molestation agree on this. Get a life!

So as a rape victim, I suggest that you travel by car the next time you want to take a trip to New York or Miami. This whole, "we hate the government now that Obama is president" crap is getting really old. Now we are living in Complaint City, Mamby Pamby Land.
do the scan thing, because being touched THERE is disgusting, for everybody. The scan is the way to go, what's the problem?
"They are doing their jobs for our own protection"
BS. They are sexually assaulting US citizens in clear violation of the Constitution. Pull your head out of the sand. The TSA is in place to create a police state where sadists in the government abuse citizens most often sexually. The TSA makes it dangerous for every passenger they molest and sexually assault. it's my belief that this woman was sexually assaulted and she should form a class cation lawsuit against the TSA and also insist the DA press charges. She can do this on her own without the police. I have facts and yu have nothing.
"The scan is the way to go, what's the problem?"
DANGER: Scientists Say TSA Scanner Radiation is Dangerous
"The TSA is an out of control, ineffective group that fulfills no useful purpose. The idiots that think somehow we are safer with the TSA do not have a clue as to how much they miss. This is only about government control of the people, that have now been placed in the roll of servant."
Very well put put. that is exactly what is going on.
I have an idea for those that have a problem with the TSA, take your liberal ass to a local rental car center, rent a car, and drive to your destination. Or better yet, fly private to avoid TSA. There are a number of private companies that will gladly take your hard earned money to fly you to your destination. Thats the beauty of this Country.
"You anti TSA people are nut jobs."
Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression
1. Dummy up. If it's not reported, if it's not news, it didn't happen.
2. Wax indignant. This is also known as the "How dare you?" gambit.
3. Characterize the charges as "rumors" or, better yet, "wild rumors." If, in spite of the news blackout, the public is still able to learn about the suspicious facts, it can only be through "rumors." (If they tend to believe the "rumors" it must be because they are simply "paranoid" or "hysterical.")
4. Knock down straw men. Deal only with the weakest aspects of the weakest charges. Even better, create your own straw men. Make up wild rumors (or plant false stories) and give them lead play when you appear to debunk all the charges, real and fanciful alike.
5. Call the skeptics names like "conspiracy theorist," "nutcase," "ranter," "kook," "crackpot," and, of course, "rumor monger." Be sure, too, to use heavily loaded verbs and adjectives when characterizing their charges and defending the "more reasonable" government and its defenders. You must then carefully avoid fair and open debate with any of the people you have thus maligned. For insurance, set up your own "skeptics" to shoot down.
6. Impugn motives. Attempt to marginalize the critics by suggesting strongly that they are not really interested in the truth but are simply pursuing a partisan political agenda or are out to make money (compared to over-compensated adherents to the government line who, presumably, are not).
7. Invoke authority. Here the controlled press and the sham opposition can be very useful.
8. Dismiss the charges as "old news."
9. Come half-clean. This is also known as "confession and avoidance" or "taking the limited hangout route." This way, you create the impression of candor and honesty while you admit only to relatively harmless, less-than-criminal "mistakes." This stratagem often requires the embrace of a fall-back position quite different from the one originally taken. With effective damage control, the fall-back position need only be peddled by stooge skeptics to carefully limited markets.
10. Characterize the crimes as impossibly complex and the truth as ultimately unknowable.
11. Reason backward, using the deductive method with a vengeance. With thoroughly rigorous deduction, troublesome evidence is irrelevant. E.g. We have a completely free press. If evidence exists that the Vince Foster "suicide" note was forged, they would have reported it. They haven't reported it so there is no such evidence. Another variation on this theme involves the likelihood of a conspiracy leaker and a press who would report the leak.
12. Require the skeptics to solve the crime completely. E.g. If Foster was murdered, who did it and why?
13. Change the subject. This technique includes creating and/or publicizing distractions.
14. Lightly report incriminating facts, and then make nothing of them. This is sometimes referred to as "bump and run" reporting.
15. Baldly and brazenly lie. A favorite way of doing this is to attribute the "facts" furnished the public to a plausible-sounding, but anonymous, source.
16. Expanding further on numbers 4 and 5, have your own stooges "expose" scandals and champion popular causes. Their job is to pre-empt real opponents and to play 99-yard football. A variation is to pay rich people for the job who will pretend to spend their own money.
17. Flood the Internet with agents. This is the answer to the question, "What could possibly motivate a person to spend hour upon hour on Internet news groups defending the government and/or the press and harassing genuine critics?" Don t the authorities have defenders enough in all the newspapers, magazines, radio, and television? One would think refusing to print critical letters and screening out serious callers or dumping them from radio talk shows would be control enough, but, obviously, it is not.

FORUMS - After reading a thread in a Forum esp in Contests
I am in a leg cast (surgery last week ) and sitting here starting to go through slickdeals Contest forum. Is there a way that after I read or open a thread in the contest forum that the thread can either disappear for me or change color. I know that if I am in one session on slickdeals, it chanes to a lighter blue but if I log into slickdeals the next day and someone posts to it, it bolds again and goes to the top of the page in contests because of the new post. Sometimes I cannot remember if I entered that particular contest and if they moved or disappeared, I wouldn't have that problem.

Elegant! This dress looks even prettier in person than it does in pictures.
Size worn: 2L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I loved this dress! It was actually a back up, not the dress I originally chose. I wore it to a ball, and it was perfect! It is very figure flattering and unique. The only thing I would change is make it a regular instead of a long. I am 5'7 and the long was a bit too long, even with heels.

Same Universe, Different Lenses: Science, Ethics, and Religion in Dialogue
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
Astronomers have many different methods for measuring the age of various objects in the universe, and they all support ages of billions of years, not thousands. Even if the assumptions of one or two methods were faulty, it is highly unlikely that all of the methods would be affected.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
At a press conference on July 4, 2012, and with 99.99994% confidence (5 sigma), CERN announced the discovery of a particle consistent with that of a Higgs boson (a.k.a. "the God particle"). This is very exciting for elementary particle physicists. But what is the Higgs particle, and what is its meaning?
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
Scientism is a rather strange word, but for reasons that we shall see, a useful one. Though this term has been coined rather recently, it is associated with many other "isms" with long and turbulent histories: materialism, naturalism, reductionism, empiricism, and positivism.
Today we have a chance to witness a special moment in history as Venus transits across the disk of the Sun for people across the world to see. Not only is this process of discovery exciting for natural science, but it has profound theological ramifications as well.

Biggest Question Marks 49ers Still Must Address After 2013 NFL Draft
By Phil G ,
Whenever Jim Harbaugh and general manager Trent Baalke walk into a room, an applause should soon follow. In a matter of just two years, these two men have revitalized the culture of a San Francisco 49ers organization that was on the brink of irrelevancy.
Credit owner Jed York for elevating Trent Baalke from within the organization, and then thank the newly appointed GM for hiring the rambunctious and energetic Jim Harbaugh as the 49ers head coach.
These three men have finally returned the 49ers to the good ole' glory days.
It all starts with the draft. The 49ers have a young and talented team mainly derived from current and past draft selections. That's what makes them special, and what other teams will attempt to emulate in the coming years.
After the past draft, the 49ers have truly confirmed this change in identity. Like Baalke, they are a shrewd team that looks for needs if the value is present, unlike other teams for whom the opposite holds true.
We can't truly grade this current draft for another two or three years; however, on face value, this looks to be a promising bunch. Though, like last season, I can't envision a scenario where many of the young guns have an opportunity to play, though Eric Reid may prove me wrong.
However, the 49ers have other question marks to address besides rookie playing time. Here are a few concerns post draft.
Colt McCoy was brought in, via trade, to compete with Scott Tolzien as the backup to quarterback, Colin Kaepernick.
McCoy reminds me a lot of Alex Smith. Both guys possess average arms, but have the accuracy and smarts to be effective throwers in the intermediate and short areas of the field. These are qualities coveted by teams who run a West Coast offense.
At just 26, McCoy still has some upside and more importantly, game-time experience. Tolzien, who was third-string quarterback last season behind Smith and Kaepernick, is intriguing, but he lacks the experience despite having a better working knowledge of offensive coordinator Greg Roman's multiple-formation offense.
This will be a tough decision, but I think McCoy edges out Tolzien in end. Though, I also expect a dogfight in training camp. Expect no less when it comes to a Jim Harbaugh-run training camp.
After Michael Crabtree and Anquan Boldin, the 49ers receiver depth chart is a bit murky. With Mario Manningham and Kyle Williams each coming off major surgery, the 49ers will likely have to lean on the young A.J. Jenkins and Ricardo Lockette.
Some will point to the newly drafted Quinton Patton as an option, but if recent history is taken into consideration, I doubt the young receiver makes it onto the field in year one. Of course, I could be wrong.
Patton is a prospect with off-the-charts potential, but will that translate to year-one success?
Vance McDonald, whom the 49ers selected with the 55th selection in the second round of this year's draft, could be an option out in the slot and at flanker. At Rice, the 6'4'' tight end was known for his versatility as a receiver.
Whoever the 49ers decide to trot out as the third receiver, it should make for an interesting battle in training camp.
Most will presume Eric Reid will step in as the unquestioned starter alongside Donte Whitner, considering his draft slot and need at the position, but I have my doubts.
The 49ers brought along Aldon Smith at a rather slow pace during his rookie season and may do the same with Reid. The Craig Dahl signing wasn't for nothing. He's a smart and instinctual player who has every chance to edge out Reid in training camp.
Obviously, Reid has the more imposing physical attributes and upside, but in terms of experience, the former LSU defensive back is lacking in a big way, though it is no fault of his own.
I suspect Dahl may get the start early on, and sometime mid season, we could see Reid take the mantle. Though, I would not be surprised if Reid was the starter day one, but as with every position, he will have to earn his starting designation.
I was on board with the Nnamdi Asomugha signing, but the issue lies in his position within this defense. Will Asomugha start or will he be regulated to a sub role?
The 49ers play Chris Culliver and Tarell Brown on the outside, while somewhat employing Carlos Rogers in the slot, depending on the matchups.
As we all know, Asomugha isn't suited for a slot or nickel role, He's at his best in a press man scheme, though will the Niners limit Culliver or Brown's playing time to accommodate Asomugha's presence? That is something to watch in training camp.
Culliver, despite his upside and recent success, has been somewhat inconsistent in coverage. He has all the physical tools to dominate as a corner, but makes too many bone-headed mistakes.
Brown on the other hand has been quite consistent. Some have bashed Brown for his play, but I think he is currently the 49ers best coverage corner. He is solid against the run and has the versatility and foot speed to match up with receivers in the slot.
Of course, the 49ers could limit Carlos Rogers' role, but it seems they have a plan as they decided against cutting the veteran and his enormous cap charge.
Whatever the Niners decide to do with Nnamdi could go a long way in helping or hindering the 49ers' pass defense.
This isn't something the 49ers can control, though none can deny the impact of injuries, especially when they happen to teams with championship aspirations.
Parys Haralson, Kendall Hunter, Mario Manningham, Kyle Williams––to name a few––suffered serious injuries that could impact their availability or effectiveness heading into the 2013 NFL season. All four guys are contributors, and their absences last season were significant, especially that of Hunter.
Kendall Hunter was having a magnificent season as Frank Gore's backup in 2012, and looks to be the future at that position if he can stay upright. LaMichael James did a solid job in filling in for Hunter, but I still think the 49ers really missed his presence in the postseason.
The same can be said for Manningham, who flashed solid production with the ball in his hands. Will his quickness and agility will be impacted as he tries to recover from a serious late-season knee injury? The same question can be applied to Kyle Williams.
The point? The 49ers, like all NFL teams, will pray for a healthy season, though it's delusional to think no one will get hurt. However, the return of these four players could really make a difference next season as the Niners face some tough competition within the Wild Wild West.

Nanette Webb, 59, of Benton, was granted her wings on Wednesday, Sept. 19. Her final days were surrounded by family and friends. She was born Jan. 24, 1953, in Little Rock. Nanette had touched many people throughout her life. She was the leader of the Magic Clover 4 Leaf Club and was the 4-H program assistant of Saline County. Nanette loved working with children through 4-H. She had seen children grow up from little people to adults and loved every one of them as her own. Nanette especially loved her grandchildren. She attended Mt. Vernon Baptist Church.Â
Downtown Benton Association's third semiannual Creative Arts Festival drew a steady stream of visitors Saturday morning. Organizers said optimum weather conditions apparently contributed to the success of the event. "Everyone seems to be having a good time," said coordinator Wanda Posey. Dianne Roberts, who operates an art studio in the old Gingles store building where Books 7 Baubles now is housed, said she was pleased with the response the event was driving. Original artwork was displayed at the event, including some created by Roberts' students.
Women of Saline County have eight days to apply for the Benton Police Department's Citizens Police Academy that not only plans to empower women, but give them a chance to have fun. "My daughter went through the Junior Police Academy in high school a few years ago, and she has been wanting to do it again," former participant Jeff Morse said. "She had a really good time, and when I saw an opportunity to go through it myself, I took it. I feel very fortunate to get this opportunity."
Some tickets remain for Friday night's concert featuring Tony Witt, an international award-winning Elvis tribute artist, and Branson entertainer "Sting" Ray Anthony. The show begins at 7 p.m. at the Royal Theatre in Downtown Benton. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door and may be purchased in advance by calling KingSized Entertainment at 501-952-6005 or by visiting: www.tonywitt.com.
Anita Joan Moseley, 76, of Benton passed away Tuesday, Sept. 18. She was born Jan. 29, 1936, in Benton to the late Houston Parker and Letha (Collins) Parker. She was a homemaker and of the Baptist faith. She was a member of the 1953 graduating class of Benton High School. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Charles "Tink" Moseley; one sister, Ailene Riddling; and one brother, David Owen Parker. Â
Dewell Harold Clay, 85, of Traskwood, passed away Sept. 18. He was born Jan. 17, 1927, in Benton to the late Dave and Maude Sims Clay. Dewell was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Violet Clay; a daughter, Joan May Clay; two brothers and four sisters. He is survived by his son, Earl Doug Clay Sr. of Omaha, Texas; a daughter, Bonnie Rouse of Traskwood; his twin brother, Ewell Clay of Benton; five grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. Funeral service is scheduled for 10 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 20, at Ashby Funeral Home. Burial will follow at Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Bauxite.
Joan Barnes Krueger, 86, died of kidney failure Monday, Sept. 17, at Saline Memorial Hospice House in Bryant. She was born Aug. 30, 1926, in Camden, the daughter of Junie Frost Barnes and Myrtle Josephine (Lee) Barnes.
The Bryant Lady Hornets had no problem in dispensing of the El Dorado Lady Wildcats on Tuesday night at the Bryant Gym. The Lady Hornets (9-3, 5-0 7A/6A South) swept the Wildcats 3-0 (25-9, 25-8, 25-4). "I'm so proud of the girls [Tuesday] night because they did not play down," Bryant Coach Beth Solomon said. "Our serves were back last night. We had been struggling. Aubree Allen has come in and helped up with Kenzie's (McKenzie Rice) shoulder injury. We're slowing getting [Rice] back into the game."
When it comes to good hometown rivalries in high school football, one needs not look any further than Saline County. With Benton and Bryant standing alone at the top of the list, there are other rivalries right here in the county that catch the eye of residents and football fans in general. Aside from the Benton/Bryant battle that has been around since 1974, there is also a very heated and exciting war between the Glen Rose Beavers and Bauxite Miners.
Representatives from Republic Services Inc. and Terracon Consulting Engineers and Scientists spoke Monday with the Bauxite City Council concerning issues at the city's sewer facilities. Mayor Johnny McMahan explained that there have been multiple violations from the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality concerning the sewer facilities. "The sewer facilities have violations dating back to 2003 and at some point ADEQ is going to stop forgiving us," he said.

Ivy Bradford's career as a travel agent has followed a path different than most. The manager of Prime Time Travel in Edmond got into the business in 1987 and worked through 2000 before taking a break for motherhood.
"Huge changes," Bradford says. For instance, more than half the travel agencies in business in the late 1990s are now shuttered. That Internet sites like Orbitz, Travelocity and Expedia now not only let people plan entire vacations from their laptops, but also at prices once only reserved for travel agents.
Airfare rates have been online for more than a decade now. And the U.S. government recently legislated even more transparency into the booking process by requiring airlines post the final price upfront and not just before you hit "purchase."
right Ivy Bradford
With all these changes, what's left for a travel agent to do?
"At this point in this industry, what we have to offer is our expertise," Bradford says. "It's our knowledge on locations, our experience with traveling and our clients traveling and the feedback we get. It's the customer-service side of it."
With consumers now having access to so much, travel agents are having to sell their hard-earned knowledge to make ends meet.
"They feel more comfortable knowing someone who has been there," says Ann West, co-owner of Express Travel in Oklahoma City. "People are going back to more personalized customer service. You only have to get hurt once on the Internet and get stuck in line with an airline."
Over a span of six days in April 2010, 20 countries closed their airspace due to the eruption of Eyafjallajökull, a volcano in Iceland.
Nearly 100,000 flights were canceled. "Those people who had booked on Expedia and things like that, they had no one to come back to," Bradford says. "They were literally on their own. The people with travel agents had someone to call."
West admits she uses sites such as TripAdvisor extensively when researching properties she's not quite familiar with. Comments from guests who have stayed recently can be invaluable in putting together itineraries.
But it doesn't stop there. West, who specializes in corporate and group travel, flew more than 50,000 miles last year.
With knowledge comes power, right? The Internet is more like information overload for some people.
"For my clients, they get on there and they're going to spend hours and hours and hours researching and looking," Bradford says. "There are so many options, they get overwhelmed. They come to me and say they don't know what to do."
She offered to help a friend last year plan a Disney vacation, but was turned down. After hours of searching, her friend had it all planned. All eight of them showed up at the rental car counter to find they had booked an economy car. From there, they discovered their accommodations were an hour away from the park and they hadn't even purchased tickets yet.
"By the time it was all said and done, and they looked at what they spent, it was $2,000 more," she says.
In December, CBS Money
Watch worked industry professionals into a froth when it cited a Bureau
of Labor Statistics job outlook report that rated travel agents as the
No. 4 dying profession in America. The report prognosticated 1,200 fewer
travel agents by 2018.
Travel industry research company PhoCusWright says there are about 20,000 agencies now, down from a high of 44,000 in 1997.
The 2011 Consumer Trends Survey painted a very sobering picture for travel agents. The statistics show that travel agents capture just 8% of the entire travel market.
Still, local agents say that can be enough for an agency focused on the right things.
would say in five to 10 years, if you have a good base of clients and
you continue your customer service, you'll get a lot of referrals,"
Bradford says. "You can't be just an order taker. You have to be more of
a concierge."
