Is the writer in you looking for an opportunity to share your story? The College of Business (COB) is looking for three to four business students interested in sharing their experiences at UW-Eau Claire through a blog.
Why a blog?
Why not! Blogs are a fun and interesting way to give current and prospective business student a slice of life on the UW-Eau Claire campus. Student blogs will be posted on the undergraduate page of the COB website. Bloggers will be identified by first name only.
How much time will it take?
That depends on how often you want to write. We expect you to post at least one entry per week. Students must make a one semester commitment to the project. Bloggers will be rewarded for their efforts with a gift from the COB at the end of the semester.
What should I write about?
Here are some ideas:
Learning the ropes—the life of a new freshmen or transfer student.
Maintaining a full calendar—balancing school with work, student organizations, athletics, etc.
Off to work—the life of an intern.
Traveling abroad—life in another country.
Saying goodbye—the diary of a graduating senior.
How about the technical stuff?
The COB is here to help you get your blog up and running. We will also provide technical assistance with photos or anything else you may need throughout the semester.
Interested? Here's how to get involved.
Write a couple of short paragraphs telling us about yourself. Include why you want to write a blog and what you will be writing about. Remember writing a blog is different than writing a business report so write in the style you will use when writing your blog (see tips below).
Email your audition copy to Gretchen Hutterli, COB Assistant Dean. She will read your narrative and select the three to four bloggers to represent the COB.
Submission deadline Monday, September 25.
Bloggers will be contacted by Gretchen Hutterli by UW-Eau Claire email. The names of bloggers will also be posted on the COB website.
Email Gretchen Hutterli, UW-Eau Claire Assistant Dean.
Write as if you were talking to your friends.
Be brief, clear, and compelling.
Keep sentences and paragraphs short and concise.
Use headers and bullets to break up space and introduce new thoughts.
Include photos.
Have fun.
Remember your audience when you write. Keep in mind that your friends, parents, professors and future employers may be reading your blog, too.

From: Tony: Windy City

I also just bought a Steez 103HA and together and the set-up weighs like a feather! the flexibility of this rod is perfect for crank baits and jerk baits. Can't wait for the ice to melt so I can load up some Sunline reaction FC and try this rod out!

Sales of previously owned U.S. homes hit a six-month low in May and supply rose, pointing to a housing market still struggling to regain its footing.
The National Association of Realtors said on Tuesday that sales slipped 3.8 percent month over month to an annual rate of 4.81 million units, the lowest since November.
It was the second straight month of declines. The drop was smaller than economists had expected, but the April sales figure was revised lower, leaving a report that was largely in line with expectations in financial markets.
While the fall in sales last month was partly due to tornadoes and flooding, with sales in the Midwest and South hit the hardest, it underscored fundamental weakness.
"It's indicative of the depressed housing demand that we have been seeing for some time and that's a function of the slow economic recovery and tight credit markets," said Michelle Meyer, an economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in New York.
At May's weak sales pace, it would take 9.3 months to clear the inventory of previously owned homes on the market. That is up from a 9.0 months' supply in April.
The report was the latest to confirm a sustained weakness in the economy through the second quarter, which has been marked by a sharp slowdown in regional factory activity, soft retail sales and anemic employment growth.
But the smaller-than-expected decline in sales was yet another hopeful sign that the economy was set to regain momentum in the second half of the year.
Stocks on Wall Street rose amid relief home sales had not dropped as much as had been expected and as optimism over an upcoming confidence vote by the Greek Parliament eased fears about the euro zone debt crisis.
Prices for Treasury debt fell, while the dollar fell against a basket of currencies.
The home sale report came as policymakers at the Federal Reserve opened a two-day meeting. Officials are expected to acknowledge the recent slowdown in economic activity, but they are likely to stick to their view that the soft patch is transitory.
The U.S. central bank's $600 billion government bond-buying program concludes at the end of the month. The Fed, which has been criticized for risking inflation, has set the bar very high for any more monetary stimulus.
In the 12 months to May, home resales were down 15.3 percent.
The housing market has lagged the broader economic recovery, squeezed by a 9.1 percent unemployment rate and the overhang of unsold homes and tide of foreclosures, which are depressing prices.
There were 3.72 million previously owned homes on the market in May, excluding so-called shadow inventory.
The month's supply was the highest in six months and a supply of between six and seven months is generally considered ideal, with higher readings pointing to lower house prices.
The generally weak housing market tone was underscored by the median home price, which at $166,500 was 4.6 percent lower than a year earlier. That compared to a 6.6 percent drop in April.
Analysts expect prices to remain subdued. Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi said on Monday he expected to see home prices rising only at the end of 2012, at the earliest.
But NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun struck a fairly optimistic note, saying he believed sales had reached their bottom for the year and said indications were that pending contracts for May rose by at least 15 percent.
The pending home sales report is due next week. While economists' generally expect sales to pick up in the second half of the year, they caution that requirements for bigger down payments could have a dampening effect.
"Unfortunately, credit conditions are unlikely to loosen soon," said Patrick Newport, a U.S. economist at IHS Global Insight in Lexington, Massachusetts. "With house prices falling, lenders are not likely to lower their lending standards any time soon."
Foreclosures and short sales — which typically occur at about 20 percent below market value — accounted for about a third of transactions in May, down from 37 percent in April.
Cash purchases made up 30 percent of sales, while investors accounted for 19 percent of transactions.
Sales of multifamily dwellings declined 8.1 percent and single-family home units slipped 3.2 percent.

This is what happens when you give banks money without strings attached. They have failed to address what sent the economy into a tailspin, and instead followed their "greed is good" mantra and invested their bail-out money in commodities like oil.
That brought the banks back to profitability and raised the stock market on the backs of the poor paying inflated prices for commodities that weren't set by demand. Us poor folk got a double whammy. No good deed goes unpunished…but now reality is setting back in and the same problems persist.
People bought more than they could afford and the banks were more than happy to let them cut their own throats, or they lost their jobs to global labor arbitrage, or had some kind of uninsured healthcare issue, and the result is they lost their home and destroyed their credit.
The banks also committed fraud and sold the same mortgage to multiple investors, up to 40 times, as part of their "mortgage securities and derivatives." European banks figured this out which is why the Federal Reserve also bailed them out with US tax payer money.
The only reason there are not long soup kitchen lines like during the Great Depression is because of food stamps. 1 out of 7 Americans is on food stamps! (45 million people and 21 million households) This is not sustainable. A hard crash is coming. The question is when, not if.

Importance of upgrades? just got my new cocker...
Posted 25 March 2009 - 05:37 PM
- JJ Ceramic Barrel
- Revolution hopper
- HPA tank (using co2 right now)
- drop forward
And I'm set on the revvy for a hopper, I just need the old school vl200 looks or it doesn't even feel like paintball. I probably cant shoot any faster than 8 to 10 bps, will a vl200 cover that? I just hate the feeling of regulating my shooting speed out of the fear of chopping a ball. And with a revvy, would I be able to outshoot it?

^ hes got it right pretty much. If we were getting specific however yes a revvy can do 10-12 bps so you'll be fine. A drop probably isn't neccesary for a trilly but after you play with it if you want one then go ahead. J&J barrels are great for the price if you feel the need to upgrade your barrel but DO NOT upgrade anything just because other people have or you think you should. Do it because you have experience with that part of the marker and want more from it or want to fix it.
Posted 26 March 2009 - 11:25 PM
Look into a .685 CP instead of a JJ. Smaller bore is almost universally better, at similar cost.
Learn to hold that trigger back a long time if you have feed problems. Nobody wants a shortstroke.
Posted 22 April 2009 - 08:24 PM
Edit: This is the drop forward I'm looking at, are the three holes at the bottom different than what the gun's standard ASA attaches to?

I'm also with Fly on a CP barrell over a J&J. I would look at a .689 or smaller. J&J bore sizes are inconsistant between barrels.
Posted 23 April 2009 - 02:58 PM
Just double checking before I order, I'm not using an aftermarket asa made to attach to a drop, just the piece that attaches to the bottom of the grip, exactly like the two screws in the top of the pic.
So would that same piece attach to the two outer holes on the bottom side of the drop forward? I just want to make sure I made myself clear enough.
Posted 23 April 2009 - 03:01 PM
Posted 24 April 2009 - 05:16 AM
As for a barrel I personally like the J&J over all other low price barrels.
If you play your own game of paintball using Spec ops as guidelines and not as "law of position", put this in your sig.

headhunter2, on Apr 24 2009, 08:16 AM, said:
It more has to do with the bunathane seals not handling liquid well... but either way, braided stainless line will serve you much better. Use Blue (not red) loctite on all fittings, and give it at least 3 hours to cure. Thread tape can be a real pain if it gets inside the gun, so avoid using it.
I'd vote for CP over JJ- cheaper, and available in .685, which is a big deal for a cocker. But I already said that.
Posted 27 April 2009 - 12:06 PM
I guess barrell just comes down to preference on this one. As stated before the best route when purchasing a barrel is always a kit with multiple fronts and backs to allow for better paint to bore matching.

It will create a problem if the asa line starts to bend in on itself as that will restrict the flow of Co2 to the marker.

A white monitoring tray allows the easy removal of debris and faciliates inspection of the droppings of the beehive. An excellent tool in your arsenal to diagnose colonies afflicted with varroa mites and other pests. This monitoring tray fits under the 8 Frame Varroa Screen. Just use it to remove the debris that builds up on the bottom board or make a quadrant to section off and count mite that have dropped onto the white surface of the tray. If your ultimate goal is efficiency, choose this one. Dimension: 11 3/4" x 16 1/4" x 3/4Hint: Because the screen blocks bees from hanging out on the bottom board, the varroa mites are unable to make their way back into the hive after falling through the screen. They are programmed to wait for a ride on an incoming bee, so they just end up dying on the tray.

Advanced Institute for Transportation Education Scholarship Program
The purpose of UTRC's Advanced Institute for Transportation Education (AITE) scholarship program is to increase the knowledge and capabilities of transportation professionals by supporting the pursuit of master's degrees in transportation-related fields. The program supports both full-time master's students and professionals working at participating agencies who are looking to increase their expertise through pursuit of a master's degree. The program does NOT support the pursuit of undergraduate or PhD degrees.
All Universities that are members of the UTRC Consortium are eligible to participate in the AITE Scholarship Program. Two types of scholarships are provided through the AITE Program:
Agency Employee Scholarships
Full-time Student Scholarships
The AITE Scholarship Program is a federally-funded matching program. All UTRC funds allocated through the AITE program must be matched with non-federal funds either from participating agencies for Agency Employee recipients or from participating universities for Full-Time Student recipients.
The following document outlines the:
Eligibility requirements, terms of award, and matching fund requirements for each scholarship type;
Requirements for becoming a participating university;
Student application process;
Scholarship administration process; and

The Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship, now offered in Georgia, Indiana and New Jersey, recruits current seniors, recent grads, and alumni with backgrounds in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) to teach in high-need secondary schools. Fellows receive a $30,000 stipend to complete a master's degree program that includes a full school year of experience in local high-need classrooms. In turn, they commit to teach for three years in high-need secondary urban or rural schools. They also get mentoring and support from both their universities and their schools throughout their three-year commitment. Learn more here and apply by 10/13 for round 1!
Undergraduate student teams, of six members each, will be formed before the end of 2014. There are two possible options for a team: Option 1 is for teams to represent a single school of engineering or perhaps regional partnerships between schools. Option 2 is that a team consists of students from two or three countries (with at least 2 students from each country). We have a goal of 30 students representing each of the three countries (US, China, UK), for a total of 90 students, at the Summit in Beijing.
Teams will propose and develop a business plan for a start-up based on an idea/concept related to the GCs. The 14 NAE Grand Challenges are outlined at http://www.engineeringchallenges.org/. They fall within the four categories of Sustainability, Security, Health, and Joy of Living. The plan for each team will be developed prior to the summit, starting in January 2015 and ending with the final competition held during Student Day in Beijing in front of a judging panel of entrepreneurs and innovators.
The application should consist of a one-page description, in English, of the following: (1) names and contact address of the students interested; (2) topic selected; (3); option preferred; and (4) a plan stating how the team will advance its idea for the Student Day competition. Mentors will be recruited for each team by January 15, 2015. It is expected that each team will interview five people in the customer discovery process during the course of the project. The recently established Los Angeles I-Corps NSF National Node (http://lanode.org) will provide educational material and software on entrepreneurship to help with the development of the business model, including training on customer discovery techniques.
A selection committee will review the applications for the selection of the final teams with the notification expected by December 31, 2014. All participating teams are expected to attend the summit. It is anticipated that the teams selected will receive some travel support from the Summit sponsors, with all local expenses and accommodation in Beijing covered.

White House 3D-Printed Ornament Challenge!
The Challenge, in partnership with the Smithsonian, invites makers, artists, designers, engineers, and anyone interested in 3D modeling and 3D printing to design a winter holiday-inspired ornament. Starting today and running until November 5, 2014, people can head over to Instructables to submit their design and for more details about the Challenge.
A selection of the winning ornament designs will be 3D printed and displayed in the White House during the holiday season; featured on the Smithsonian's state-of-the-art 3D data platform, 3d.si.edu; and will join a small collection of White House ornaments in the political history division of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
With the democratization of tools and technologies like 3D printing, individuals have more opportunities to take their ideas and turn them into reality. Empowering students and adults to create, innovate, tinker, and build their ideas and solutions to problems into reality is at the heart of the Maker Movement. Since the White House Maker Faire in June, the White House has continued to support opportunities for students to learn about STEM through making, expand the resources available for maker entrepreneurs, and foster the development of advanced manufacturing in the U.S.
Once a technology that was incredibly expensive and used primarily for industrial applications, 3D printers are now available for about the cost of a laptop, and in some cases even less. 3D printing is now being used across a broad range of fields including biomedical, health care, fashion, food, engineering, automotive, and more. 3D printing uses a digital design file generated on a computer to produce an object by placing successive layers of material such as plastic or metal. One of the main benefits of the technology lies in the fact that changes can be quickly and inexpensively made to the design of an object digitally, making personalization and the production of small quantities less costly.
More and more K-12 schools now have 3D printers in makerspaces or in their libraries. Educators are using 3D modeling and 3D printing as an interactive, hands-on way to teach students key STEM concepts such as geometry, fractals, space and depth perception. And across the country, innovators are putting 3D printing to use to create everything from robotic hands to entire cars.
A "Bo-flake" ornament from 2012, featuring the likeness of Bo, the Obama family dog.
We need your help to create the first 3D-printed ornaments that will deck the halls of the White House. Host an ornament design workshop or activity in your classroom, at the local library, or your community makerspace, and then submit your designs on Instructables. Don't forget to share your experience with us using #NationOfMakers, and continue to send us ideas for how we can engage and support the Maker community at firstname.lastname@example.com!

Ireland coach Declan Kidney is confident money will not tempt Jonathan Sexton to join France's top 14.
The fly-half, who is reportedly the subject of a 750,000 euro-a-year offer from French side Racing Metro, met with chairman Jacky Lorenzetti to discuss the possibility of a switch from Leinster on Sunday.
Kidney named Sexton in a 39-man training squad for the upcoming RBS 6 Nations campaign, and said he believes the Irishman would always put the best interests of his club and country first.
"I don't think anything that Jonny would do would be selfish or lead to a thing like that," he said.
"He just has to do the right things. Whoever came out with the story publicly, I don't think the IRFU or Jonny had any interest in it going like that."
He added: "I've yet to meet an Irish player who has actually made his decision based on money. He's made it on how he's looked after (and) his affinity to the team.
"Our fellas' pride in their provinces is only matched by their pride in their Irish jersey. When our lads make decisions about moving abroad they don't make them lightly and I've yet to meet one who has made it purely on finance."
Asked about Sexton's talks with the IRFU, Kidney said: "There are negotiations going on and I'd imagine that they'll be drawing to a conclusion fairly soon. I wouldn't like to pre-empt these things, you have to let the negotiations carry on.
"It's a profession. Fellas have to look after themselves and I know the union will do everything to keep him but because it's a professional situation, there's only so much money there.
"Hopefully everyone involved will make the right decisions to keep Jonny in Ireland."

Who doesn't love the orks?
By far, the largest army I have is the orks, and I decided they needed a good place to play. An ork village is an easy way to add a lot of good looking terrain with a little bit of effort and cash.
I based the ork village off the old epic ork buildings; adobe with random ork patterns.
I made the walls and roof out of foam core. It is available at most craft stores inexpensively. Foam core is a thin sheet (1/4" to 1/2") of foam with paper backing on each side. It is lightweight, but sturdy.
The thing to remember with making ork buildings (and any other ork construct) is to not be consistent. So I made each ork building somewhere between 3" and 3.5" tall. For each one, I cut out the 4 walls and a roof section. One of the tricks to cutting foam rubber is to use an electric kitchen knife. My hobby knife kept getting dull and ripping the paper on the foam core, so I decided to try the foam rubber trick. It worked very well and gave good, straight lines. I cut a door into one of the walls because it was easier to do it here rather than wait until it was assembled.
Years ago, I made a set of city fight buildings out of foam core. After a while, the paper started pealing away from the foam and made a big mess. A strip of masking tape over all the edges on the ork builds should prevent this from happening.
Once I had all the walls cut and taped, it was time to assemble. The roof needed to have enough support to hold a metal dreadnaught, so I glued small plastic blocks under each corner. Not only did this keep the roof fixed in place, it also kept the walls straight. To keep with the adobe house look, I made sure the roof was about 1/2" below the top of the walls. This drop gave a low wall around the roof of the house (and good cover for the orks up there).
Elmer's wood filler is a great for texturing and a bucket only costs a few dollars at home depot. I put a coat of this over the entire outside of the building. It dried to a nice shade of yellow, perfect for an adobe look.
Another good terrain tip is that anything wooden can be made out of popsicle sticks. For the doors and windows, I took popsicle sticks and cut them down the middle. These are for orks, so they didn't need to be perfectly symmetrical. I then used these pieces to build doors and windows. A brown wash and they were good to go.
To give the buildings a bit of dimension, I put a very light wash of brown around the bottoms of the buildings and around the edges on the inside of the roof. A few ork glyphs, some dags around the top and a shrub or two on the outside, and the buildings were ready for the tabletop.
By making the buildings various sizes, I was able to stack smaller ones on top of larger ones to make multiple levels.
Bigred has been asking me to make about 10 or 12 more so we can play a "Blackhawk down" scenario, but I've been busy with other projects. More on that later....

Sweden's National Day
Today is Sweden's National Day, and I can't help missing home a little bit. Since I'm far away from home today, I'll share some photos from my home country. This is my Icelandic Horse Pjakkur. I didn't bring him with me when I moved to California, he stayed in Sweden with one of my friends. It was very tough leaving him behind, but it makes me happy to see that he is thriving in my friends care. She is good at sending me photo updates about his progress, and it means a lot to me. I bought Pjakkur when he was two years old, and we spend many hours together everyday. Here are some of our best moments together.

Benjamin .22 Varmint with Power Pack
By Roger
2014-11-18 16:57:34
Received the Benjamin .22 Varmint Air Rifle today and put about a hundred pellets through it, getting it zeroed, an easy task, and target practice. What a difference from the air rifle (Ruger .22) it is replacing which has a spring piston. The NP gas piston is so much easier to cock, and very quiet. And it doesn't have the violent recoil of a spring piston. The included 4 x 32 scope is more than adequate, but I did not mount the flashlight and laser. Since I don't plan on using the air rifle after dark I probably won't put them on the gun. I did take the time to clean the oil/grease which was protecting the barrel while in the box. I bought the gun for varmint control and am quite sure it will do the job. If you are on the fence in deciding whether to go with a spring or gas piston I highly recommend this model. The other big difference I like between this gun and my last gun is that this one is 2 pounds lighter and 4 inches shorter, making it much easier to carry and shoot.

Got this air rifle and its Great! I have shot over 500 pellets and this thing shoots hard and accurate. No negatives on this end. Performs flawlessly and consistant. Scope is pretty good, not great, but not as bad as reviews claim. Red dot sight seems to move but I havnt really played with it that much. Very impressed for this price range.

benjamin varmint pack
By david

Bought a ruger impact that shot 2' low @ 35 yrds and 13" low @ 5yrds' took it back exchanged it for this rifle n never looked back. Took about 75 firings before the barrel settled but after that i re-zeroed and was shooting the caps off of plastic jugs @ 35 yrds. I wonder about the experience level of the folks giving bad reviews? I guess any maufacture puts out a lemon here n there, but this rifle is a quality built rifle, i. Could tell that straight from the box. Clean the barrel, shoot about 100 pellets, then zero the scope. You should have excellent accuracy if your form is consistant. The lazers dot on the other hand moves up after every shot but seems to stop after a few shots so i might have to lock tite the adjustment screw n see if that stops it. I dont consder that an issue though because i wasnt looking to have tacti-cool junk hanving off my gun anyway.

Varmint Power Pack (.22)
By Eric

Despite the bad reviews some have been leaving I purchased this model any way. I set up the rifle and used a bore scope to align the sights. After 5 test shots and adjustments I was ready to shoot. I am getting quarter size groups @50ft. SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM GUYS? As far as I can see the problems are not with the gun but maybe the set is wrong by the user. Buy the gun, take your time setting up, and enjoy shooting. This will rip through 1/4" plywood and bury itself into 1/2" . As for varmints, tomorrow is another day.

I had the Trail NP All-Weather before this and wish i wouldn't had got rid of it. This gun seems to be on par with it. One thing I did right out of the box was to shoot Rem-Oil down the barrel and run a cleaning brush down and clean all the oily crap out of the barrel from the factory. Took me a little bit to get the scope zeroed but once I did it held pretty good groups. I've only got about 50-100 pellets through it but its looking like this will be the same quality/reliability as the Trail. Gave it a 4 because the scope is not as nice as the one I got with my Trail NP.

Worth the time...

So it took around 200 rounds and trying a bunch of different pellets to find the sweet spot but once I did... wow.
It has had the power since day one but getting good groups past 10-15 yards was very tough. Ended up replacing the scope and using "Beeman Kodiak Extra Heavy" and now I love it!

I bought this rifle one month ago and I have fired this one more than 200 times and hit the bullseye one more time before subsequant shots go high, low, wide right and left. But the rifle have a lot of power.

I am by no means an expert when it comes to rifles and shooting and such but I have fired this one more than 200 times and am not real impressed. After some trial and error I managed to zero the scope using a lasar bore sight then firing a shot to see where it placed on a small bore target. I would then hold the rifle on the bullseye also using the bore sight tool and then adjusting the windage and eleivation to line up with the first shot. I reloaded and fixed the sight on the bullseye and bang I hit the bullseye. All the while I have gun rests to help in sighting, adjusting and shooting. Now to make sure this was not a fluke, I reload and fire off a few more shots. I might get lucky and hit the bullseye one more time before subsequant shots go wild. High, low, wide right and left. So I start all over again with the lasar bore sight, aligning the scope crosshairs with the lasar dot, putting up a new target and firing a shot, with the croosshairs on the bullseye, I align the scope with the shot and fire again, again I get the same result. I don't know if the scope loses zero after a few shots or not or if it is just the shooter but I'm not real pleased with the results. BTW, my target is about 15 yards away. My backyard wont allow me to get it further. the scope is the 4X32 Center Point that came with the gun.

So far I have not shot the air gun yet. I just got done putting it together. I Plan on trying to sight it in tomorrow. I really wish it came sighted and ready to go other than that it looks and feels awsome .I can't wait to shoot it. I might take a shot tonight but my wife is going to get mad about it

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!

They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Even an Asshat like Jesse Ventura Can Make Mincemeat of the Likes of Piers Morgan
Even while Jesse is off scampering about proving that 9/11 was "an inside job" he is able to take down slow-brained Piers Morgan without resorting to an Alex Jones style performance.
» 27 Comments
Just not Alex Jones.
Did anyone hear the dude behind FPSRussia was shot execution style? Guns supposedly surrounded the dude.+1
Re 'Gunfight at the OK Corral' comment near the end – what are the odds that more people would end up dead if there is someone intent upon killing as many people as he possibly can with nobody to oppose him, vs. that person being opposed by one or more? You brought it up, Piers, I'd like to hear a thoughtful answer to that.+5
There's nothing I hate more than some pompous ass, who isn't even an American, lecturing Americans about what he thinks is sensible for Americans. Fuck Piers Morgan. And kudos to JV for handing him his head. Most rationale argument I ever heard him make.+8
A nutcase Ventura just handed little Lord Fauntleroy an intellectual wedgie.Noteworthy Comment +10
I'll add one thing to what Ventura said about guns are for "the people to defend themselves against the government", and he is absolutely correct! It was also put in place so that the government would fear the people, not the other way around. We have largely lost that battle, and I fear the government, they don't fear me…but I'll be damed if they think I am gonna dig my own grave!
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕNoteworthy Comment +11
History Lesson-
This is the Ventura as I remember running for Governor of Minnesota. He was nothing more than a sports station radio announcer and quite successful (became announcer for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
He ran for office on a lark…and won because people were sick of the usual crap (nobody gave him a chance of winning!) He himself may have been more surprised than anyone.
In the aftermath, he became the nut case he is today (not that he was completely sane before) He couldn't take the media criticism (called them Jackals)
He moved to Mexico and comes back at times and is what he is.
Now we have as governor, Mark Dayton, a descendant of the family that founded Target Corp. He's afraid of his own shadow, looks like a deer in headlights…look up his record as a US senator. He closed his and office hightailed it out of DC thinking the terrorists were after him.+3
Who only has 6000 rounds of ammo?+7
Piers Morgan is the crack spider's bitch.+4
The difference between Spain, France, Germany and other European countries having handfuls of gun deaths and the USA's thousands of gun deaths… drum roll… blacks. Europe… low amounts. USA high amounts
government statistics show that the majority of US gun violence/deaths is black on black.Noteworthy Comment +10
Go away before we all start paying attention to you.+7
You know I love the English people, I have many relaves in England. But I wish that limey bastard, Piers Morgan, would fuck off back home to cockneyville.+3
releatives. oops+2
@Saxindacity – AMEN!!!!!!
I voted for Jesse because he made more sense than the R & D that were running with him. This was just what he was like.
He really did, people! He was fairly rational and spoke what he meant. He fell apart when he tried to fix the schools and teachers (he was ahead of his time) and the media murdered him.+3
Saxindacity, Well you missed Navy Seal (Maybe just demolition team), Pro wrestler for probably 20 years and a couple good movies. I'm not a fan, but he was smart enough to kick the Limies ass.+4
Ventura's not an asshat.+4
We should be thankful for people like Piers Morgan and Barack Obama because they clarify exactly the types of people the framers had in mind when they penned the Second Amendment.+3
Piers. There is no R in cinema, you Sassenach bastard.+2
IOpian. You are making me think. Why ther uck are you makin me tink this late ate nite? Have you no shame sir?+3
Bill O'Reilly just sucks. just sayin. I'll have one more ajust shag off to the couch. Nobody here to chat with anyway, so fu*kit.+2
Sorry I'll stick around for Dennis Miller. It be wednsday.+2
Worth sticking around. Al Gore is an empty hat. 300 of the 353 members of cngress are iskoles. Gud niteeee+3
Morgan keeps spouting lying stats! When it comes to deaths per 100,000 citizens, Great Britain is number one! USA: not even in the top ten!!! Arrrgh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!+2
fullcirclethinker, Them Limies didn't use guns. It's all about gun deaths. In other words, if you get killed that's O.K. unless it was with a gun.+2
Piers Morgan apparently thinks "Massacre at Dachau" is preferable to "Gunfight at the OK Corral." What a moronic pile of bombastic vomitus!+3
didn't morgan choose to come to the usa which has a lot of guns in citizens hands and then starts crying about it. why didn't he just stay in britian which he is claiming is so safe?
the problem with morgan is he and his ilk likes to be ruled over by a king or queen. they like being subjects, serfs, slaves to an all powerful state.
real Americans don't.+1
My barber was Jesse's neighbor for years.
Says he's a fairly normal guy.+1
Piers Morgan always looks like someone is holding a small turd under his nose.+2

More on Articles
If you have a subject to research, try the link for Articles, Indexes, & Databases. ERIC is education's primary database. USA's access can be found under EBSCO on the Articles, Indexes, & Databases page. It and other databases are also listed alphabetically and in subject groupings. ERIC contains references and abstracts from unpublished documents (ED) and references and abstracts for journal articles (EJ). Many of the documents are available full text online, or articles through linked full text. Older ERIC documents are also on microfiche (filed by ED #) on the second floor south of the Library.
In EBSCO you can select two other education databases, along with ERIC, and search all three at the same time: ERIC, Education Research Complete and the Professional Development Collection. But an advantage of beginning a search with ERIC alone is that a thesaurus (controlled vocabulary) is available.
Other databases with significant education content are Professional Collection in Gale InfoTrac, the education journals in Sage Online, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, and SocINDEX (also EBSCO). EBSCO also offers SportDiscus for health and physical education articles.
Limiters: There are useful limiters that may be used in searching an EBSCO database. You may select only journal articles, or only peer reviewed articles. Another leading feature is being able to restrict results to reports research for empirical research studies only. In many databases the articles will be listed in reverse chronological order (latest first), but there is a date limiter as well.
Other Databases / Search Engines:
Academic OneFile (Gale/InfoTrac)- Large collection of full text articles from journals across many fields of study.
Expanded Academic ASAP (Gale/InfoTrac)- General index includes many fields of study. Limit to "refereed journals" if desirable.
Academic Search Premier (EBSCO) – Similar to Expanded Academic ASAP; includes popular titles.
ScienceDirect – Includes education titles and articles as well as science & technology.
Wiley InterScience: (including BlackwellSynergy journals). This journal database includes a few, mostly higher education titles.

VERMILLION, S.D.—Youngstown State running back Martin Ruiz ran in from three yards out with 14 seconds remaining to give the 10th-ranked Penguins a 38-34 win against South Dakota Saturday at the DakotaDome.
The Penguins (8-1) moved to 5-0 in the MVFC for the first time and have won six straight overall. The Coyotes (4-5, 3-3), who lost for the first time at home this season, have dropped their last two.
Ruiz, a true freshman, and senior quarterback Kurt Hess helped Youngstown State rack up 517 yards of offense against one of the top defenses in the country. Ruiz carried 23 times for 131 yards and two scores. Hess was 22 of 26 for 283 yards and two touchdowns. The Coyotes entered with the nation's second-best pass defense and were fifth in total defense.
The contest featured nine lead changes including two in the final three minutes.
South Dakota redshirt freshman running back Jordan Roberts ran 11 yards up the middle for a touchdown with 2:14 to go that put the Coyotes on top 34-31. It capped a seven-play, 66-yard drive that took 1 minute, 48 seconds. Roberts had nine carries for 29 yards in the contest.
Hess and the Penguins began from their own 26 with 2:07 remaining. First down passes to Christian Bryan and Carson Sharbaugh quickly got the ball past midfield and a personal foul penalty moved the ball down to the 28. Jody Webb converted a 3rd-and-1 with 43 seconds remaining and Hess hit Bryan at the 3 on the next play. Hess killed the clock on first down, and on second down handed to Ruiz, who went nearly untouched off right guard and into the end zone.
It was Youngstown State's fifth touchdown drive of 67 yards or more. The Penguins scored six touchdowns in all, but missed an extra point, mishandled an extra point snap and failed on two two-point conversion attempts.
USD kicker Miles Bergner hit on field goals of 39 and 40 yards. His second gave the Coyotes a 20-19 lead just before halftime.
South Dakota sophomore quarterback Kevin Earl completed 16 of 31 passes for 219 yards and two touchdowns. One was an 11-yard touchdown pass to former starting quarterback Josh Vander Maten midway through the third quarter that gave USD its largest lead of the game at 27-19. Earl also ran a quarterback draw for a 17-yard touchdown early in the second quarter.
Vander Maten rotated in at quarterback during two second-half drives. He carried once for 10 yards. Threw a 10-yard swing pass to Roberts for 10 yards and had three catches for 29 yards. He also served as the Coyotes' punt returner for the first time.
USD true freshman Riley Donovan became the first Coyote to record three consecutive 100-yard receiving efforts since Dan Skelly did so in 2008. He caught four passes for 103 yards Saturday, including a 55-yarder that preceded Earl's touchdown run. Donovan has 20 catches for 390 yards and two touchdowns in his last three games.
The Coyotes sacked Hess four times and recovered three fumbles which led to two touchdowns and a field goal. Senior linebacker Tyler Starr and sophomore defensive end Drew Iddings both had strip sacks that the Coyote offense converted into 10 points. Senior safety Aaron Swift stripped Ruiz on the first play of the second quarter near midfield. USD made it 10-7 five plays later.
Hess spread passes to nine different receivers. He threw a 40-yard pass to Jody Webb for the Penguins' first score of the game and hit Michael Wheary on 4th-and-goal from the 3 near the end of the third quarter that cut South Dakota's lead to 27-25. Hess also scored on a 3-yard quarterback draw in the second quarter.
Linebacker Teven Williams had eight tackles to lead Youngstown State. Safety Devin Taverna had nine stops to lead South Dakota.
The Coyotes completed the first game of a three-game home stand. USD hosts nationally-ranked Montana at 1 p.m. Saturday (Nov. 9).

Saint Paul, Minnesota
This iReport is part of an assignment:
Chick-fil-A demonstrations
Free Speech?
I recently did a study into homosexuality in the Bible: Partly for my own benefit, and partly for a book I am writing. I got my hands on a number of books from Northwestern College and scholarly articles online, and did research into the context and language of the biblical passages discussing homosexuality. Many are familiar with the term 'Sodomites', as used by Bible translators to supposedly describe homosexuals. This term is an incorrect translation of Jude 1.7, which states that the men of Sodom went after strange flesh and the rest of the chapter discusses mankind's interaction with angels. Other passages in Genesis (the book containing the story of Sodom and Gomorrah) discuss mankind having relations with angels and God's condemnation of these acts.
Other New Testament passages (1 Cor. 6.9, 1 Tim. 1.10) discuss prostitution and pederasty (modern day pedophilia), condemning the people who continuously engage in such relationships to an afterlife away from God. The first passage contains two Greek words, Malakos and Arsenkoites, the first discussing the prostitute or young boy in prostitution or pederasty and the second discussing the client or the older man respectively. Another passage in Romans discusses wantonness in sexual activities using the language of Plato's Symposium. Other passages in the Old Testament (Genesis and Judges 19, Leviticus 18.22/20.13) discuss rape and gang rape. What we glean from a thorough study of verses discussing sex in the Bible is that abusive forms of sex are condemned while relations within marriage are not and that the writers in the times the passages were written had no concept of sexual orientation.
The owners of Chick-fil-A are exercising their freedom of speech to state that they take a traditional and biblical view of marriage. They are perfectly free to make such statements, just as Clinton was free to state that he did not have sex with Lewinsky and Focus on the Family can state that gays can be cured by praying the gay away. That does not make their claims or statements correct, and anyone with any respect for intellectual honesty should feel free to state that their statements are not accurate. I do respect them for taking an unpopular stance on a tough issue, but I do not respect how they and many others like them abuse the Bible to suit their own purposes. You would not view someone who takes your words out of context to change the meaning of your statements very highly, nor do I view those who abuse texts of any kind to suit their own agenda. I believe in being an objective interpreter of any text and leaving the original intent of the author intact so that its meaning can be preserved. Anything less is a personal attack.
There have also been discussions focused on tolerance. Some have stated that the restaurant is being intolerant for spouting its views that marriage should be exclusive to their traditional values and that people who do not share these views should be forced to follow their understanding of marriage. Some have stated that the protesters whose voices rise against the restaurant are being intolerant for 'not allowing them to state their views'. What these people are really saying is that tolerance involves not only respecting the views of another, but allowing their views to be shared unmolested by criticism and argumentation. That is, one should listen to someone's view about something and not criticize their view and politely listen. They should be 'politically correct' (whatever that means).
If we define tolerance as an attitude towards an opposing view that allows so much leniency for that view that it cannot be opposed by anyone, then we have defined it too broadly. If we define tolerance as an attitude of respect towards those holding said view but nothing about the attitude towards the view itself, we define it too narrowly. I believe that until we can come up with a rational definition of tolerance/intolerance, accusing people of being intolerant is like saying they are a filoshnekov. It is a meaningless accusation because the word has no rational meaning.
Freedom of speech is important, and I believe that people can respectfully discuss an issue without attacking those holding to one view or another, and I believe that people should have the freedom to agree and disagree with one another without having to worry about heated conversations. If the words tolerant and intolerant are thrown around during a discussion on an issue, then the discussion has ceased to be about the issue. The owners of Chick-fil-A have the right to release a public stance on gay marriage, and I have the right to ignore their existence in protest of their erroneous stance. We can do so respectfully, 'tolerantly' (whatever that means), and without blowing the issue into more than it is. This discussion and controversy started as a polite news release respecting opposing opinions, but taking a stance on what someone believes. The discussion should remain centered on the issue rather than the exchange of insults, and protesters on both sides have every right to protest for their belief: Respectfully, and without judging the person for the view they espouse.

Lacoste Essential Mens 75ml Eau de Toilette £12.00 @ Asda
Thought this was a good price for a 75ml and a pretty good smelling aftershave.
"Lacoste Essential is about enjoying freedom in a hectic world. The fragrance comprises top notes of tomato leaves, citrus, fruity and watery notes.
The scent's heart is made of black pepper and a floral accord, including rose notes. Sandalwood and patchouli notes are in the fragrance's drydown.
"Time-Release Technology" is used which allows the scent to maintain its initial freshness throughout the day.
Lacoste Essential will be as fresh as the moment you sprayed it on. Water (ozonic sea breezes) "
