Chicago Fire Review: Hanging in the Balanceby Nick McHatton at . Updated at . Comments
Well done, Chicago Fire Season 2 Episode 22. That was one Hell of a finale!
Almost the entire station was placed in peril when members walked into what looked like an ordinary building fire. Until the building explodes.
I'm going to have some choice words for Dick Wolf and company if deaths are happening. I don't know if I can handle losing anyone in my precious 51.
What makes the explosion even worse is how it capped off the joyful and lovely scenes that were happening just prior. It's a strong juxtaposition where Boden is getting married and having a wonderful time as he begins his new life... and now he's covered in debris wondering if any of his men and women are alive.
It serves as yet another reminder where lives and fates can drastically change. Casey just proposed to Dawson and while her face gives away her answer, that too is left up in the air.
Assuming both Dawson and Casey survive, will either of them even want to continue with the proposal after such a turn of events?
More importantly, will this change affect how Dawson feels about being a firefighter?
The controlled environment of the academy is one thing, yet a real world situation like this makes everything completely different. With the regressive age firemen she's soon to be working with, there's a chance for a lot of things to go wrong.
No matter what our opinions on Jones were, the entire house looked out for her on their calls making sure she's safe. The team in Austin doesn't evoke those same nice feelings.
As much as I love my Lindsay and Holstead flirting over on Chicago PD, Severide and Lindsay also make a great pairing. They're mature and round each other out well. Lindsay, particularly, is nurturing all around, but she offers advice and understanding.
It's a big change in relationships from where Severide was in the beginning of Chicago Fire Season 2.
Finally, Mills asks Newhouse to look into his father's side of the family. Mills is very content and balanced in his life right now, but his father still eats away at him. He longs to continue to get closer to him, no matter what the news is, and to fill that hole that is inside of him because of it.
Will everyone survive in the explosion?

Instead of a regular storyline cast member being killed off , any thoughts on it being one of the "other" firefighters from Kellys truck ??
My bet on it being tony from Squad 3 or Cruz from Truck 81
Severide was screaming "ANFO" right before the explosion which stands for Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil, a big time explosive.
Actually, I purchased the episode on ITunes. I had the subtitles on and severide's exact words were "Pull back it's flammable! Fire's closing in out, out, now"
My gosh, I felt so lost... I soon as I finished watching the episode, I came on here and there was no review yet. I needed to share my thoughts... That ending was all kinds of wrong ! It will be a torture to wait until the Fall.
OMG... how come they all went in there !
It was a beautiful day. The whole thing was fun and nice to watch. Hermann not telling the Chief that he couldn't get the church was hilarious as the guys kept teasing him about it. Man they can't keep a secret in there ! I still don't get why Boden got married so quickly especially since he hasn't known her that long. But oh well.
Gaby passed the test !! Congrats ! But, she had to be transferred to that wretched station. I don't even get why that Lieutenant wanted her there. To prove a point, to break her ? I don't think Casey going there helped any. AND him trying to find her a new station was understandable but wrong. She has to do this herself and prove them that she's capable. Now however, I don't know if she'll do it. Twice she's been the victim of a bombing... She is strong, but she may end up with a case of PTSD... AND she found out about the ring ! And then told Shay, who couldn't keep the secret anymore. And Casey popped the question. Her face said yes but the words couldn't leave her lips... Why ?
Poor Kelly... The second they found the body I knew.. And yes he did a sweep, he called out.. Had he looked under the bed, bla bla bla. You could see all those questions going on in his head but it would not have helped. I know it's bad, but I absolutely LOVED how he snapped at Devon. The nerves of that woman ! And then she called him rude ! Now that got me cussing at my screen lol. She stole from them and when he told her the way it was she had the nerves to call him rude ! I hope Shay knows what she's doing !
Kelly going to Lindsay was interesting. This is a very different Kelly that we've seen. What they have is mature. She can give him the comfort he needs. She knew how to talk to him. The others couldn't...not even Shay. I cannot wait to see more of it. Glad the kid survived. It would have crushed him even more.
Mills is looking for his family, on his father's side. His mom caved with him wanting to be a firefighter. I don't know how she'll take that one.
Great finale, apart from that awful cliffhanger which left me with my hand over my mouth long after the episode ended...
Did anyone else hear the word "ammo" through all of the garbled radio? Just before the building blew?
Actually it was Severide telling everyone "out out now!"
I agree with all the comments. I can't stand any more losses! But one thing I don't understand...Dawson's brother was really shot up if not killed on Chicago PD last week. Does Dawson not know this??? They are really close. What gives with this?
Apparently the two shows were not running as concurrently as they could have been due to Chicago PD coming on midseason so they're a little off right now. I guess they're going to make sure things run more smoothly next year when they start and run along at the same time all season. Hopefully she gets told of his injury on tonight's episode which I can only imagine happens before the events of CF last night.
What a finale!
As soon as they pulled up to the building at the end I said BOOM! I knew there would be an explosion! Now we have to wait until the fall to see who survives! I know the guy that went in the building last is dead. That would have been Boden had he not been off that day.
I have a feeling something will happen to Dawson and she will not go to the Austin Station. Casey already had a major injury so he is safe. Same with Shay! Kelly had the should issue last season. So I think one of the other will be hurt if it is not Dawson.
Boden and Donna's wedding was perfect! I love that Mills was the one to marry them! I was wondering why Platt was there and when she and Mouch met, it made sense. Those two are perfect for each other.
Would a ring shop really spill the beans on the engagement ring? I thought that was a little silly. I am not sure if Dawson was going to say yes. The way she pined for Casey and if she said no after all that, then Casey really would deserve better than her.
I felt so bad for Kelly, he did kick under the bed to feel around for bodies but he missed the young boy. I can only imagine how awful it that would feel. I like that he went to Erin.
I also think Devon deserved what Kelly said to her! I hope that Shay does not take her back but it sure looks like she will.
I will be going through withdrawals until the fall!
Casey and Kelly and Dawson and shay are still alive! I did not watch behind the scenes! I hope they went out the back door! PLEASE (this was written by my 8yr old daughter, I walked away from my iPad for a minute! She's a HUGE Casey fan!)
One thing Nick didn't touch on was Kelly's blow-up at Devon. I think Kelly was absolutely 100% correct right about what he said & how he did it. Devon was getting off way too easy!!
And if Chief wasn't inviting any of his Family (as in House 51) to the wedding, how in the World did Platt get invited?!?!?
Christian Stolte (actor who plays Mouch) said on Twitter today that Donna went to school with Platt so that's why she was there. Apparently the line clarifying her presence got cut from the episode. Hope that clears it up! =)
Thanks!!! Haven't gotten on Twitter yet today!
The whole reason they had Platt there was to set a storyline for her and Mouch to be a couple. I am choosing to ignore the fact that she does not really know anyone at 51, well except Casey and I believe that Herrmann made a stop at their police department this season. :)
I love the idea of Mouch and Platt as a couple.
I like Mouch and Platt together, too. Mouch needs a girlfriend. Loved the whole show last night, and I'm looking forward to new season.

Nonconformist downtown pub celebrating 20 years on Clematis with block party
- 2:28 pm Thursday, September 18th, 2014 by M.M. Cloutier
On ever-changing Clematis Street in downtown West Palm Beach, O'Shea's Irish Pub is clocking a milestone few other Clematis restaurants and bars have laid claim to: a 20th anniversary.
And the 1994-opened pub—which for years has been home to Irish bands galore, trivia nights, poetry slams, pub grub and a fierce river of beer and Jameson whiskey—is celebrating with a party this Saturday (Sept. 20) on Clematis' entire 500 block, O'Shea's stomping grounds.
Festivities start at 3 p.m.—and will continue until after midnight—when, among other things, you can grab a pint of O'Shea's own 20th anniversary-label stout.
Outside on the 500 block, the pub [More]

The laws of attraction—or, among other things, why some people become a tad irrational when they're ga-ga over someone they've just met—are on tap at O'Shea's Irish Pub in downtown West Palm Beach.
You see, there are certain chemical and physical reactions that occur when we're initially attracted to a potential mate: Why not talk about this stuff over a Guinness or Harp lager, say, and perhaps with O'Shea's fried mushrooms on the side?
Thursday (July 24) brings the next installment of "Science on Tap"—interactive and seemingly geeky talks modeled after similar "science cafe" events pubs across the country are adopting—a series presented by the South Florida Science Center [More]

You know, as in free beer and eggs until 11 a.m. at Roxy's Pub's annual wearin'-o-the-green party along the 300 block of Clematis, where all day and night Roxy's (309 Clematis; www.roxyspub.com) hosts live Irish music, shepherd's pie-eating and cabbage-throwing contests, bobbing for potatoes, beer pong and more, with traditional Irish fare served at booths along the street.

This Thursday (March 13) along the 500 block of downtown West Palm Beach's Clematis Street: the grand-opening party of a newly relocated and locally popular coffee house—and the launch of a pop-up science-café series with brainiacs aiming to make science—it's behind everything we do—fun.
Starting at 5 p.m., fans of the super-fresh cups of Joe served at the former Habitat Coffee on Clematis can celebrate the coffee house's reincarnation as Subculture Coffee (www.faceook.com/subculturecoffee) at its new digs at 509 Clematis.
The grand-reopening party, until 9 p.m., is hosted by the coffee house's owners, Rodney Mayo and Sean Scott, who'll be serving [More]

Who starred opposite Richard Burton in the 1966 film version of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? How many trivia contest-parties are there in downtown West Palm Beach on Wednesdays?
The answer to the latter question: at least two.
Both O'Shea's Irish Pub and World of Beer—they're on opposite ends of Clematis Street—feature Wednesday trivia contests starting at 7 p.m.
There's no charge to enter either.
At O'Shea's (531 Clematis St.; 833-3865), teams of four compete for a chance to win a free bar tab.

Study: Kids need to count, not memorize
Common Core Standards used in Guilford County Schools are right in line with a study out of the University of Missouri revealing that children need more practice than just reciting information to be successful in elementary school.
Learning the days of the week, numbers and letters requires more than recitation and remote memorization, the study says.
"You can use recitation for your multiplication tables, but if you don't know the why behind them, you'll never be a 21st century learner," said Shirley Disseler, assistant professor of elementary and middle grades education and the STEM coordinator at High Point University.
Louis Manfra, an assistant professor in Mizzou's department of human development and family studies, said when children are reciting, they are basically saying their numbers from memory in a chronological order, but when they are counting they are performing a more cognitive activity in which they're associating a one-to-one correspondence.
Manfra analyzed data from more than 3,000 children from low-income households in order to determine if the children's reciting and counting abilities in preschool affected their first-grade math scores. He found that students who could recite and count to 20 in preschool had the highest math scores in first grade; however, less than 10 percent of the children in the study could count and recite to 20.
Disseler said it is a distinct difference from when she was in school in the 1960s and 1970s.
"I can remember spending hours with flashcards of numbers, vocabulary words and math problems, that's how you did it then," she said. "It was more structured, left-brained and auditory."
Disseler said students only take in 10 percent of what they hear and 50 percent of what they hear and see. Adding the hands-on and the "why" puts it at or above 80 percent.
"Children learn completely differently today," she said.
Disseler said in the 1980s, subjects started to be less integrated, and even more so in the 1990s and early 2000s.
"You had 45 minutes of math and then 45 minutes of language arts, and they didn't connect," she said. "With Common Core, they'll be more connected and bring them back around."

Most anticipated tech products of 2013
We're not sure some of them are even on the drawing board, but they'd be great to see
By Tim Greene | Network World US | Published: 16:33, 20 December 2012
As the old year winds down a sense of hope arises that the hints and inklings of new products and services that have been leaking out over the past months may actually materialise in the New Year. Some of them are products that vendors have solidly promised and assigned release dates to, some are part of vaguely marked road maps and some are simply pipedreams fuelled by persistent rumours. Others are services or intriguing situations that could arise. Regardless, here are some of the ones that have caught our eye and that we hope turn out to be as eye catching in reality.
Eta Devices power amplifiers
Doubling battery life for smartphones could be just a power-amplifier chip away. Eta Devices, run by two MIT professors, is expected to commercialise its energy saving technology in 2013, halving the energy phones eat up when transmitting data. It calls the technology asymmetric multilevel outphasing, which keeps standby power as low as possible and thereby extends battery life. Power amplifier chips are needed for each wireless technology a phone supports (in colour boxes in the photo), and Eta Devices plans to support CDMA, GSM, and 4G/LTE in both phones as well as the cellular ground stations they communicate with.

Rings of Saturn was formed by lead guitarist Lucas Mann, whom resides in the Bay Area of California. When I had heard that this deathcore band was being labeled as "aliencore", who wouldn't be interested in giving them a listen? Ever since I heard Rings Of Saturn's debut album in 2010, "Embryonic Anomaly" (released via Unique Leader Records), I have kept an eye on what the band has been up to. Having been on some major tours throughout the USA and Canada, Rings Of Saturn are showing off that they can sound just as tight on stage, as well as in the studio. They definitely are indeed a whole new breed and breath of uniqueness within the metal scene. The only other band that I could really relate to having that sort of "alien" or "spacey" sound were the earlier albums by The Faceless. Both bands share the same passion for technicality, but Rings Of Saturn take home the medal for sticking true to the saying "Shred 'till You're Dead".
When I had heard that the band was going to be releasing a brand new full length entitled "Dingir" (pronounced din-jeer), I was very skeptical as to how it would compare to their debut. Due to legal reasons and a poor quality of "Dingir" being leaked on the internet, Rings Of Saturn decided to give away "Dingir" free of charge in hopes that listeners will purchase the album on February 5th. Having constant lineup changes, it worried me that the group would have trouble finding the same sort of chemistry that made their debut such an instant hit. Upon concluding the very first tune off of "Dingir", I already knew that Rings Of Saturn was light years ahead of "Embryonic Anomaly". Every member aboard the mothership had soared past my expectations and created a record that is guaranteed to probed into the minds of minions across various multiverses.
The start of "Dingir" is introduced by the first song entitled 'Objective To Harvest' where the mysterious 10 second introduction leads into a slamming riff that takes off like a flying saucer soaring at the speed of light. The rest of "Dingir" can be summarized as a constant high octane ride through the galaxy. There is not a single dull moment in the album. Mann and Omans were able to construct highly technical riffs that were able to keep the listener intrigued and entertained. They were able to keep true to what got fans hooked on the band in the first place. The interludes that are thrown in some songs felt so natural and oozed with creativity. An example would be near the middle of the song 'Faces Imploding'. Rings Of Saturn do have a soft spot in their extra-terrestrial hearts. The melodic section and solo at the end of 'Fruitless Existence' was quite beautiful. It reminded me a whole lot of the song 'Pouring Reign' by As Blood Runs Black. Another characteristic that I enjoyed about "Dingir" was that breakdowns weren't thrown into songs just for the hell of it. Not one song had that slow, grimy feel as some deathcore bands do. Much of the music was "in your face", which was great at some points in the album and felt a little unnecessary at other times.
The rest of the band had to accompany some of the craziest shredding in this galaxy and were able to pull it off rather well. The backbone of this space beast was drummer Ian Baker. His drumming was nothing short of jaw dropping. Blast beats and breakdown patterns were used constantly throughout the record. Unfortunately, I was not the biggest fan of the drum sound. It wasn't a total deal breaker and I was able to look past it. Sean Martinez is a crucial member to the band playing bass, but it was barely audible. There were times where it pulled through and sounded fantastic. 'Immaculate Order' has some great bass features. Last, but certainly not least, Ian Bearer's vocals were a fantastic touch to the rest of the band. They aren't anything new or ground breaking, but they definitely pulverized on "Dingir". Songs that I had kept listening to were 'Objective To Harvest', 'Shards Of Scorched Flesh', 'Fruitless Existence', and the instrumental track 'Utopia'.
Overall, Rings Of Saturn definitely pulled through on "Dingir". Every fan of the band should be more than happy with this release. If you are a fan of bands like The Faceless, Abiotic, and/or Fallujah, then Rings Of Saturn is an artist that should immediately be added to your media library. "Dingir" earns a solid rating of 8/10. If you aren't screaming "Take Me To Your Leader!" after listening to this record…well…you should probably sleep in the cryogenic chamber a bit longer.
"Dingir" can be streamed for free via Total Deathcore HERE or through the YouTube link below. The album is slated for a release on February 5th, 2013 via Unique Leader Records. You can pre-order the physical copy and other various merch bundles HERE.
NOTE: A free download of "Dingir" in its entirety can be found at the Total Deathcore link above.

Harmless DilettanteI'm an Autuer
I've been wresting with the iMovie '11 learning curve. I've managed to negotiate a truce between it and my old JVC camera footage. I've now made videos of each of the three phrases of Ferra's AHS mare performance test. I've also made videos of both of Penelepe's dressage tests at her first schooling show. The most fun thing has been choosing the music. The least fun has been trying to master iMovie's interface and video organization. I've picked up the "Missing Manual" and "Teach Yourself Visually." the Missing Manual is much more in depth, but dry as dust with less than helpful graphics. Think it's going to be more useful as a reference manual. 3 years ago

This iReport is part of an assignment:
Sound off
- Is PBA President Pat Lynch As Outraged Over Eric Garner's Death? Or ...
- The US Revolution is Being Televised
- Obama Backs Spending Bill That Guts Financial Regulation To Avoid Shutdown? Is Obama Really a Democrat?
- No Indictments for Torture- Bush Administration; Murder- Police Officers- Darren Wilson and Daniel Pantaleo, or Fraud- Wall Street Banksters In US?
- Lower Gasoline Prices Are About 'Hurting Russia', Not 'Helping Americans
We Need More Than a Shut-Down. We Need a Purge.
Kristol is voicing what most conservatives believe about the poor. No. It's no big deal if you're wealthy like Kristol.
The shutdown is over whether the GOP can come to grips with the new Obamacare Law.
Yes, I said law. It's not a bill anymore as many Republicans refer to the A.C.A.
The best perspective and account I've heard about this whole mess was written by FlaglerLive's Editor in Florida. Florida is not expanding Medicaid even with the Federal Government paying 100% of the costs for the next three years and 90% for the next three years!
Well, then Florida's Governor Rick Scott turned down Federal money to expand high speed rail system to Florida as well that would have created thousands of construction jobs and linked the Eastern cites with the West. Go figure. I agree with Pierre Tristam.
"The central tenet of the Affordable Care Act—health insurance for almost all—kicked in at midnight Tuesday, at the same instant that the government shutdown began.
It was one of those conjunctions of American history that bleed with irony, like the time in the waning days of the Civil War when Jefferson Davis inclined to drafting slaves to fight the Confederacy's lost cause.
Opponents of Obamacare think that by doubling down on hurting Americans, they might stun them into submission. They must be stupider than they let on.
Obamacare has its problems, and the federal government hasn't done a good job selling it.
Its implementation is another story.
Obamacare has been falsely portrayed as too complicated, though mostly by people who calibrate their powers of comprehension to the grunts and growls of talk radio.
Obamacare is no more complicated than shopping for your average private insurance policy, because death-panel mythologies aside, that's mostly what it is.
The so-called "insurance marketplaces," in states lucky enough to have them (Florida is not among them) facilitate the process.
In the dark days pre-dating reform, insurers were entirely to blame for the western world's most discriminatory, at times sadistic and always extortionary health care system.
They picked what clients they wanted, denied coverage to those who needed it most, dumped those who filed costly claims, and for those on the rolls judged what care to mete out and what care to withhold, as if nameless actuarial pinheads knew better than your doctor what ailed you. That's what's ending, somewhat.
If there is a fundamental failing to Obamacare, it's that insurers are still almost entirely in control.
They still get to pick who gets what and at what price, infuriating clients and using the government as their perfect foil.
The government merely sets a few standards, only slightly diminishing insurers' rapacity for providing the fewest benefits at the most exorbitant cost.
The government's more honest baseline is that insurers may no longer cap lifetime benefits, boot out the sick or exclude those with pre-existing conditions.
But clients must still navigate the private insurance market to get a policy. The complications were themselves pre-existing.
Now more people get to suffer them.
Except that the insurance industry gets to reap the profits while deflecting all bureaucratic frustrations on Obamacare.
Many of the problems are compounded by various states' continuing war against reform, purposefully complicating what should have been the single greatest improvement in Americans' peace of mind since the establishment of Medicare for the elderly in 1965.
Medicare should have been the model for reform.
It's the nation's best and least expensive insurance program, a socialistic single-payer system that leaves individuals with all the free-market liberties to choose the kind of care they want.
The government gets the bill (padded though it often is by private providers' fraud).
Medicare for all is what President Obama wanted when he started his road toward reform.
But wouldn't you know it: tea party geezers made up mostly of people on Medicare made sure that what they had would not be what the rest of the country would get. The Selfish Generation's hypocrisy won the day, making anthems of falsehoods.
That's not the worst surprise. Universal coverage for America's 47 million uninsured was to be achieved in two ways.
Those with incomes above a certain level were to go through the marketplace. Poorer people were to be made eligible for Medicaid.
But when the United States Supreme Court ratified the Affordable Care Act, it excluded the Medicaid provision. States, the court ruled, could not be forced to expand the program. That gave opponents of the measure a fresh way to undermine it.
A quarter of Florida's population is uninsured.
That's the second-highest proportion in the country after Texas.
The federal government was ready to send $54 billion to Florida over the next 10 years to finance the Medicaid expansion.
It would have picked up 100 percent of the bill for the first three years. It would then have picked up 90 percent of the bill for every year after that.
Only mad men blinded by ideology and hatred for Obama would reject terms like that. So they did.
Florida became one of 25 states, including almost every state in the South, that rejected the Medicaid expansion. Almost every one of those states is controlled by Republicans.
It's not too late. Just last month, two states that formerly opposed the expansion, Pennsylvania and Michigan, finally saw more dollar signs than tea leaves and switched sides.
Even Gov. Rick Scott wanted to flip in February, but was stopped by the Legislature. Maybe he'll try again.
Meanwhile, because of the Medicaid rejection, 1 million Floridians will remain ineligible for health insurance of any kind.
They're not poor enough for Medicaid, and too poor for the insurance marketplace.
They're not unemployed. They're not loafers. They're cooks, cashiers, nurses, retail store clerks, janitors, housekeepers and construction laborers.
They're the grunts who make life easier for the Selfish Generation.
They're disproportionately black and Hispanic. And they're victims of a form of ideological bigotry that can thank Florida's Republican legislature for holding their health hostage.
We need more than a shut-down. We need a purge."

How fricken cool is that?Noteworthy Comment +14
Q: Chief? Why do you pack that .45?
A: Because they don't make a .46.Noteworthy Comment +16
Pack a .454.+5
That is crazy cool. Day-um!Noteworthy Comment +13
That's a beautiful photograph!!Noteworthy Comment +11
Great photo. How the f___ . . . .+8
Way cool photo!
as I see it, it is a revolver ejecting a shell, and that appears odd. Now keep in mind that I am the guy that has not fired a weapon since I lost all my guns in my last move in '97, and things may have changed.
and all off my bullets had lead up front….+8
Well I could be wrong, I've been wrong before. But I do not recognize any weapon that looks like that from the front. And that certainly looks like an acp.45 case in the air. And if it is a 1911 he's has his left thumb on the slide. Not good.I believe it to be a very creative artist rendition.+8
Menderman, I believe those are concentric shock waves from the mighty blast. Not a cylinder.+4
Fake. The breach would not have unlocked much less ejected a casing before a round exits the barrel; the barrel is still fully seated in the slide. imhoNoteworthy Comment +13
J Frank Parnell, Good eye, true enough.+4
Stunning photo, real or not.Noteworthy Comment +10
concentric? I gotta google that in the morning
(actually, I use Bing, but saying "I gotta Bing that…" just don't sound right)
but, still a way cool pic! Kudos to the dude or dudette that made it!+6
Looks like Obama in a cop hat behind that gun.
Bullet spiraling is correct for the northern hemispere though.+8
Menderman Same center. I guess I should have said True Position within .001 regardless, but there's only one guy I know here would have known. Inside joke. Concentric, circles with the same center bro.+3
and progs choose to carry this http://polipundit.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/obama-golf.jpg to keep them safe…
Sometimes I feel bad for them, then I look in my wallet….+8
Menderman, you no that fxcking dick you got on that jpeg has headlines on Drudge about how he shoots all the time. He must be talking about assault basketballs.+5
Very interesting photo. I'd like to know how far away the bullet is from the muzzle. Seems like the bullet would be farther away once the casing has traveled that far in its flight.+3
Can we see a HD photo of the impressive blast from a pellet gun? I only ask because moron.org posted a graphic saying that 919 people have been killed by guns 31 days after Newtown, and one of the dead was a ten year old shot by a friend with a pellet gun. I guess they want pellet guns on Feinsteins 'assault weapons' list?
And not one death they listed was from an AR-15…..
here is the grapic (from another source so you don't give moron.org a click):
Casing looks too thick.+3
No one that has actually seen this in the real is around to verify that this is what it looks like.Noteworthy Comment +11
and it is a cop shooting it, that means he is killing the guy that killed me. If a cop needs that weapon to protect me, let me have that weapon to protect myself. I like about 1/2 the cops I know, but they are minutes away when seconds count, so I say let them stick to eating doughnuts untill I take down the dude trying to kill me or mine, and save some taxpayer bullets.+4
Menderman, No dude. He died before the shot. You were carrying one of these and learned to shoot it from the hip.
In 1916, before heading into Mexico after Pancho Villa, a young Army Lieutenant picked up an Ivory gripped .45 in El Paso. This was not a 1911 Government Model but a Single Action Army. The gun became famous on the hip of by then General Patton in World War Two. It had two notches in the grip from the Mexican campaign. The career of the infamous team of Bonnie and Clyde was stopped by former Texas Ranger Frank Hamer, whose favorite sixgun was "Old Lucky" a .45 Colt Single Action. Hamer was a real hero, a true "one riot, one Ranger" type of lawman. He carried a single action long after all "thinking" lawman had opted for the double action revolver.+1
The smoke wouldn't gracefully wisp around the bullet. You wouldn't even see smoke till a second after the shot. Any smoke would be blasted away out of sheer force. Nice photoshop though.+4
I wonder what the statistic would be on children killed with a gun if the Age limit for a child was under 18 and they excluded gangbangers?+2
Photoshop or not, I ducked when I saw it.+7
A guy could get stuck on Mary Jane.+6
Mary Jane Anklepants WAS the 70s.+2
Emphasis on Mary Jane.+1
OK. I got here late.
Yes, it's shopped.
Still, an "arresting" pic.+4
We were discussing concentricity. Where the hell were ya. LOL.+1
I was asleep but #2 started running around the place, woke me up, and here I am.
I gotta get a life.
You gotta get an avatar.+6
That bullet has been run through a pencil sharpener.
The smoke is in calm air. No smoke from the casing.
No signs of recoil even though the slide has cycled, the bullet is still lined up with the barrel.
The camera survived being shot dead center?+2
@ Chieftain:
Sheriff: "Why'd you shoot him 6 times?"
Deputy: "That's all the bullets I had!"+4
For us gun nuts:
RANDO, that's some awesome lead smashing and hole punching there. Can't stand that music though.+1
Recoil begins the instant the bullet starts moving.
And the bullet is long gone by the time the casing is two inches into ejection.
This video shows it clearly:
Also, my handguns throw a big flame along with the same powder residue you will find in spent casings and in the barrel when you run a patch through it. The flame in the photo is the first thing I noticed that didn't seem right. Still an awesome picture though.+2
Sorry friends I find no awesomeness here.
Apparently the 'artist' thinks it's coolio to draw a two hand grip where neither thumb is wrapped.
My use of .45 autos says the artist does not know what a grip safety is.
Total Photoshop by someone who does not shoot with any reularity.
Too many things to point out. And Menderman, the circle you see that gives the impression it has a revolver's cylinder was added in as a shockwave effect.
I give it a A for gun porn coolness but a C for all the mistakes only a non-shooting artist would make.+1
Did anyone catch the video interview of the Canadian Professor in Toronto being interviewed last Friday night? Very revealing… His life work is rescuing baby chinese girls from infanticide… he knows the Chinese very well. He said in interview that he has known many high level US DOD flag officers since Reagan's era. One came to him and said this: Obama is bringing them in individually, asking them each if they would follow his orders to open fire on American Citizens who will not lay down their arms? If they respond that "no that is unconstitutional", he fires them (excuses ranging from voluntary retirement to charges of sexual misconduct)…the Chinese have been alloted 7 cantons within the USA and have been here and surveyed for our natural resources (oil, grain, wood, coal, minerals) which Obie intends to give them as repayment for our trillion $$ plus debt he borrowed from them. They dont like the idea of a sniper behind every blade of grass or tree in our country, hence Obie wants to disarm us to carry out his traitorous plans. BTW the Chinese hate obie, they call him MONKEY BOY, and consider him a traitor…because of what he is doing to our nation.+3
Finger on the trigger? No.0
Cool, but unreal, I myself never intend to be on the business end.+1
Don't fuck with the PO-leece.+1
1. Bullet wrong. Should not be spire point.
2. Smoke wrong. Cigarette smoke?
3. Bullet position vs. casing wrong. Casing should still be in gun at this moment in time.
Must be Obama's photographer.0

Road crew worker calls 1st selectman 'dictator'
WOODBURY — Fallout from a town tractor crash has now crashed into the race for first selectman.
Department of Public Works employee Mike Crownshaw accuses First Selectman Gerald D. Stomski of carrying on a personal vendetta against him as Crownshaw fights the town's insurance company over a workers' compensation claim stemming from a tractor accident last year.

Wal-Mart declared 'king' of videogame sales
IGN, the site that notes squids aren't animals, announced the following data point from its "Are You Game?" survey of 2,000 gamers:
Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, is also king when it comes to videogame sales.
To prove it, they've linked to a chart showing that 62% of respondents bought games at Wal-Mart, compared to 54% who bought games at Best Buy or Gamestop. Only 17% of the people surveyed bought games from Blockbuster, where they're dirty and used.
In other news, Wal-Mart does a lot more business than the other stores, so I'm going to file this under "no duh."

Cincinnati Bengals news, rumors and injuries
Bengals | A.J. Green practicing
Fri, 19 Dec 2014 08:13:22 -0800
Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green (illness) is participating in practice Friday, Dec. 19.
Fantasy Tip: This is a good sign for Green after missing Thursday due to an illness. He will cost $7,900 in FantasyScore this week, and should be considered for your roster.

Bengals | Thursday practice report
Thu, 18 Dec 2014 15:44:13 -0800
Cincinnati Bengals LB Emmanuel Lamur (hamstring), OG Mike Pollak (knee) and WR James Wright (knee) did not practice Thursday, Dec. 18. DE Carlos Dunlap (calf) and CB Dre Kirkpatrick (Achilles') were limited. DE Margus Hunt (ankle) and CB Terence Newman (ankle) were full participants.

Bengals | Jermaine Gresham practices fully
Thu, 18 Dec 2014 15:42:27 -0800
Cincinnati Bengals TE Jermaine Gresham (toe) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Dec. 18.
Fantasy Tip: Gresham ($3,300) is avoidable on FantasyScore this week as he hasn't gained more than 40 yards in seven straight weeks now and is too touchdown dependent.

Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green (illness) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 18, due to an illness.
Fantasy Tip: Green should still be OK to play in the team's Week 16 game against the Denver Broncos, and will cost $7,900 in FantasyScore this week. He should be started in all formats if he is on the field.

Bengals | Jermaine Gresham to see specialist
Mon, 15 Dec 2014 17:33:51 -0800
Cincinnati Bengals TE Jermaine Gresham (toe) will visit a specialist Tuesday, Dec. 16, for a second opinion on his injured toe, a source told FOX Sports NFL insider Mike Garafolo.
Fantasy Tip: Even if he does suit up in Week 16, he should probably be avoided at Fantasyscore. Gresham hasn't been much of a factor this season, and he has failed to top 40 receiving yards in his last seven games.

Bengals | Jeremy Hill dominant in run game
Sun, 14 Dec 2014 14:03:02 -0800
Cincinnati Bengals RB Jeremy Hill carried 25 times for 148 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 15 game against the Cleveland Browns. He also added a reception for four yards.
Fantasy Tip: Hill averaged 5.9 yards per tote, while seeing a total of 26 touches. Giovani Bernard had 15 carries for 79 yards and three receptions for 24 yards. The touches weren't quite split down the middle, as the team wants to move to have a primary and secondary ball carrier. However, with a blowout score, the secondary carrier might have had a few more touches. Hill is the better option going forward in FantasyScore at this point.

Bengals | Emmanuel Lamur doubtful to return

Bengals | Jeremy Hill has big first half
Sun, 14 Dec 2014 11:30:13 -0800
Cincinnati Bengals RB Jeremy Hill rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries in the first half of the team's Week 15 game.
Fantasy Tip: Hill has been sharing work with Giovani Bernard but has received 16 carries as opposed to Bernard's six. Hill could be an attractive option on FantasyScore as long as he receives a majority of the carries during games.

Cincinnati Bengals TE Jermaine Gresham (toe) is inactive Sunday, Dec. 14.

Bengals | A.J. Green headed for a poor game?
Sat, 13 Dec 2014 18:10:05 -0800
Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green has caught 12 passes on 30 targets for 81 yards and no touchdowns in his last three matchups with Cleveland Browns CB Joe Haden.
Fantasy Tip: Green enters the game in the middle of the best stretch of his career, but the matchup isn't ideal. Unless you happen to be blessed with exceptional receiver depth, it's best to stick with Green in seasonal leagues, but his $7,900 salary (15.8% of cap) is a little steep at FantasyScore.

Fri, 12 Dec 2014 16:15:27 -0800
Cincinnati Bengals TE Jermaine Gresham (toe) is fine and is expected to play in Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns despite being listed as questionable, according to head coach Marvin Lewis. Even if Gresham suits up, the Bengals could come out with a heavy offensive line that includes OTs Eric Winston and Marshall Newhouse as extra blockers off the edge.

Bengals | Andy Dalton has improved in last month
Fri, 12 Dec 2014 15:50:38 -0800
Cincinnati Bengals QB Andy Dalton has improved in the last month ever since his terrible 2.0 passer rating against the Cleveland Browns five weeks ago. "It's that everybody is on the same page," head coach Marvin Lewis said. "We have to get to the right spots, he has to deliver accurate balls, protections and routes have to match. When they don't match, things are going to be bad." Dalton has rallied the team to a 3-1 record and his completion percentage hasn't been under 68 percent in the last four weeks. It's no surprise to offensive coordinator that Dalton's improved play has come as WR A.J. Green has returned to full health.
Fantasy Tip: The Browns have held their own against enemy signal callers this year, and Dalton ($5,800) can attest to that. Although he's performed better recently, his upside is limited against this Cleveland squad, making him a lukewarm fantasy football option at FantasyScore this weekend.

Bengals | Mike Nugent expected to play
Fri, 12 Dec 2014 12:46:20 -0800
Cincinnati Bengals PK Mike Nugent (non-injury) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 12, but is listed as probable for Week 15.
Fantasy Tip: Nugent costs $3,100 on FantasyScore, but owners may want to use a kicker with a better percentage for field goals made.

Senators Used Paper Ballots
According to JS Online, at least 126 times this year, Wisconsin Senate committees employed "increasingly controversial" paper or e-mail ballots without senators voicing their votes in open sessions.
"Totals compiled by the Senate's chief clerk at the Journal Sentinel's request show that the so-called polling ballots were used on 126 of 561 public-policy issues - or 22% of all items acted on by committees and sent to the full Senate for debate."
See the full article for more about the use of paper ballots and the controversy surrounding them.

Xerox 6605 toner cartridges and supplies. Guaranteed quality, discount-pricing, and same-day shipping!
With the Xerox WorkCentre 6605, the manufacturer takes the best features of the 6600 model and embellishes it with the ability to copy, scan, and fax, making it a single solution color laser printer for a small office. Print speeds are fairly quick, at up to 36 pages per minute, and its purchase price is affordable. There are two variations available: the 6605N is the base model with network sharing capabilities and the 6605DN with the addition of automatic duplexing. Both models use the same Xerox 6605 printer toner, and both have the same features otherwise. Initial paper capacity includes a main tray of 550 sheets, and a bypass tray can hold up to 150 sheets of alternate media. A second tray of 550 sheets can be added at any time. The maximum copy resolution is 600 dpi, and copies have a first page out time as fast as 13 seconds. Advanced features like 2-up output and collating are included, and the 50-page automatic document feeder can make short work of a tall stack of documents. Scans can be saved to a USB memory device, sent to an email address, or saved to an FTP server or network drive. Having multiple functions in one device means the same toners are shared, but Xerox 6605 toner cartridges aren't exactly cheap. High-capacity WorkCentre 6605 toner cartridges offer a yield of 6,000 pages for each color and 8,000 for black, however, which helps to make the cost per page of WorkCentre 6605 toner a little more manageable. User reviews of the 6605 are very positive, and it offers a great feature set for an affordable price. Its compact design will fit nicely in a small office, and buyers will find it a good choice, if they can manage the cost of Xerox 6605 toner.
Based on our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, Ink Technologies will accept returns of compatible or remanufactured ink and toner cartridges for full credit if the returned product has a valid return authorization number and is received in our warehouse within 6 months of the original shipping date. If there is a confirmed print quality issue, only 1 set of opened products will be accepted for credit returns, and only if less than 30% of the ink or toner has been used.
Ink Technologies will replace defective compatible or remanufactured products free of charge if the products are returned within 1 year of the original ship date, and provide a return shipping tag for return of the product.

Lessons that Gen. Larry Spencer learned at Central High School ('71) in Capitol Heights shaped his career.
Spencer is Vice Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force where his duties include presiding over the Air Staff and assisting the Chief of Staff with organizing, training and equipping 690,000 active duty, Guard, Reserve and civilian forces serving in the United States and abroad.
A Washington, DC native, Spencer moved to Seat Pleasant during middle school. His experiences at Central High prepared him for future pursuits.
"The varsity sports program provided leadership and discipline," Spencer says. "Academic activities prepared me for college and made me inquisitive."
After graduating from Central, Spencer received a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering technology from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. He was commissioned as a military officer in 1980. He advises current students to think towards the future.
"First, stay in school and work hard to earn good grades – not just to have a good GPA but to actually learn and master the material," he says. "Second, understand that the classes/subjects really will benefit you later in life. Many students wonder how they might use high-level math, as an example, in life. High-level math teaches you to reason and to problem solve. Those attributes are highly sought after in the work market."
Finally, Spencer says, don't worry about "what you will be when you grow up."
"If you prepare yourself, doors will open. If you work hard, people will notice and try to help," he says. "Being successful is bigger and broader than the amount of your paycheck; it's doing something you enjoy that contributes to the greater good."

Financial Assistance 8
Texas should promote the employment of dependents of military reservists who are called to serve during the war effort.
The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC), in conjunction with local workforce development boards and local chambers of commerce, has the ability, the tools and the duty to promote the availability of jobs in Texas. The agency has the responsibility to manage and provide workforce development to job seekers in the state and is the state government agency in charge of providing career development, job search resources and job training programs. The agency also assists targeted populations in receiving employment.[1]
The terrorist acts which took place in the United States on September 11, 2001 resulted in military action that is aimed at ending terrorism throughout the world. This task will require the additional strength of military reserves to aid in the fight and to provide domestic security.
To date in Texas, approximately 1,400 reservists have been called to duty in the war against terrorism. The president has indicated he may call up to 50,000 reservists nationally. Based on current trends, as many as 2,500 Texas reservists[2] could be called away from home to serve America in this time of war.[3]
How can the State of Texas help?
The potential exists for the state to provide assistance in finding employment to unemployed spouses of reservists called away from home. In providing this service, TWC could work with private companies to find employers who are willing to give priority hiring status to unemployed individuals whose spouses are called into military service.
This effort could include TWC reaching out to private sector employers to determine those who would be open to providing priority hiring status to spouses of reservists and emergency personnel who are called away from home to serve their country in this time of war. Once determined, a list of these employers and their job openings could be made publicly available and qualified applicants could respond appropriately and at their own discretion.
Not only could this service benefit families who have lost a provider for a period of time due to a mother or father leaving to participate in the war, it would give employers an added opportunity to serve the war effort.
Fiscal Impact
This recommendation would have no significant fiscal impact on the state.
[1] Texas Workforce Commission, "What is the Texas Workforce Commission?": http://www.twc.state.tx.us/twcinfo/whatis.html.
[2] This estimate is based on the president's original authorization to call 50,000 reservists to active duty.

Willie Mullins reports Hurricane Fly to be in fine shape ahead of the Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown on Sunday.
The nine-year-old took his tally of Grade One victories to 18 when lifting the Ryanair Hurdle at the Dublin venue at Christmas.
He showed his well-being ahead of his bid to claim the Irish Champion for the fourth year running with a pleasing spin under his regular work rider Paul Townend on Thursday.
"All's well with him at the moment and he's on target for Leopardstown on Sunday," said Mullins.
Victory at the weekend, where he is again expected to clash with Jezki and Our Conor, would see Hurricane Fly emulate the feat of Istabraq in the Leopardstown showpiece.

is it possible to install from harddrive?
i'm not completely new to linux, I have used it a couple of times on a friends PC. I tried to install it on an IBM thinkpad two times, but didn't have any luck with that... the reason? Well it's a few years ago, and I can't really remember.
Now, I have this toshiba laptop that's currently running the win ME installation that came with it, and I'd like to run linux on it instead. One problem though, I can't use my linux CD's as the CD player on it does not work at all. I do have an external CD player if I absolutely need to play CD's on it, but that's a USB one, which isn't only slow, but also doesn't allow me to boot from it.
Is there anyone here that has an idea on how to install linux on it, what distro to use?
One must: I have to be able to use my Gigabyte wifi card after the installation... it's allright if I need to download stuff for that, but if I do, I have to do that before installation (I merely put that here as a reminder for myself, but if anyone can give me a hint on that as well, please don't hesitate to tell me). Thanks!

do you have a floppy drive, if so you could do a minimal cli install of a small distro, and use that to install gentoo on a seperate partition.Operating System: GNU Emacs

okay, so i could use that minimal install to access my CD player via USB, and then i'd be able to install the rest, is that what you mean?
- 06-18-2005 #4
If you have a floppy drive why not boot from it with a bootmanager floppy which will let you boot from the usb cd drive?
I'm not sure if this has a usb booting option, but look at http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/
I think genesus is talking about installing a basic system and then use that to download and linstall gentoo onto another partition on your hard drive, you would be using the basic system instead of the gentoo live cd.Registered Linux User #371543!

EatAroundOKC raises over $8,200 for Food Bank in 2011
by Tim | January 3, 2012 | 1 Comment
It's that time of year again. Time to reflect on all that's happened in the previous twelve months and take a look at what's coming up in the new year. As I look back at EatAroundOKC in 2011, there's one thing that stands out to me above everything else and that is our partnership with the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma.
Thanks to overwhelming support from our followers and from local Oklahoma City restaurants, we were able to raise over $8,200 for the Food Bank this past year.
Of course, this wouldn't have been possible without your support. I want to say thank you again to all of you who follow and support us. We love being a part of the discussion with you and we appreciate every comment you leave, every email you write, every tweet you send, and every deal you purchase.
I also want to say thanks to all of the restaurants who have worked with us to make special offers through our EatAroundOKC Deals program. It is their offers and your purchases that generate the revenue we donate to the Food Bank each month. So naturally, without restaurants to make offers and an audience to purchase them, none of this would be possible.
I want to specifically recognize J. Mays and Chris Kana at Cafe 7, who not only made an offer through our program, but then matched our own donation to the Food Bank with one of their own. Because of their generosity, our Cafe 7 deal alone raised over $2,400 for the Regional Food Bank. Thank you, J. and Chris, for going above and beyond for the fight against hunger in Oklahoma.
Onward to 2012: Try More Local Restaurants, OKC!
With a great year behind us, we're now looking forward to 2012. Our partnership with the Food Bank continues, our team of volunteer writers and photographers is larger than ever, and our excitement about the local restaurant scene in the Oklahoma City metro has never been greater.
I hope that you'll come along with us and make a commitment to try even more locally-owned Oklahoma City restaurants this year. You can always find great places to try by checking out our reviews and our Top 100. Plus, if you subscribe to our deals program you'll find great offers to try new local places at big discounts. Oh, and if you have a question or something to share, leave us a comment, send us a tweet, post something on Facebook, or just contact us through good old-fashioned email.
We look forward to hearing more from you in 2012!
