Castelli Sorpasso Bib Tights
Cheap Zippers
First of all I love the fabric and fit of these bibs. I stay warm even when it' cold and wet. I'm even okay with the red insulating fabric that gets the occasional comment.
What I don't like is that the zipper at the ankle came undone after wearing the bibs only a few times. This is unnaceptable at a bib costing this much. Now I have to find a tailor to sew in a new zipper. Maybe get them both replaced ):

Pearl Izumi P.R.O. Pittards Gel Gloves
Good fit. Poor construction
I'm giving these two stars because stiching on palm started unraveled after one ride! Now after a few rides and washes the palms have lose strings all over them. This is too bad because gloves look nice and padding is good.
I will not be buying these PI gloves again.

Gore Bike Wear Race Power Thermo OverShoes
On second thought...
I'd previously commented that I thought the size chart was off. I wear a 42.5 shoe and thought the size large was way too big. well, ordered the size medium and it was too small. rats!
After trial and error I've found that it helps if I lift my toes while pulling on the overshoe. This helps the velcro back apply straight up and down and removes the lumpy look.
Oh, and this overshoe is great for keeping out the cold and wind.

Endura Road OverShoes
Poor Construction
The shoe covers worked fine...for one bike ride!
Second time I put them on the Zipper came off, and I wasn't even pulling on it very hard.
I believe Endura may be having some quality control problems with their Chinese manufacturer.

Castelli Gabba WS Rain Short Sleeve Jersey
Nice jersey for Pacific Northwest
Here in Oregon weather from Fall through Spring is hard to predict. Usually there is a chance of rain, and I will pack a rain shell just in case. This new Castelli rain jersey may be the perfect product for cool and wet days.
Here are my impressions so far:
I went on a short one hour ride yesterday in typical Oregon rain/drizzle/fog and high 50s. At the end of the ride I did feel a little moisture but could have been persperation. Temperature-wise I was very comfortable.
The fit is typical Castelli (i.e. snug). The construction is fine quality, and the material is a heavy-stretchy fabric that wahes well. The windstopper fabric does stop the wind and helps wick the sweat off. Waterproof? Well, the jersey has a little logo that says waterproof but I'm not completely sold on that, yet. Water does bead on the material, but I would describe it as water resistant when exposed to constant rain.
For me I think I can wear this jersey, light short-sleeve baselayer and arm-warmers down to about 45 degrees and take the warmers off in the high 50s.
One reason I gave only 4 stars is because the white color does not look good after a sloppy wet ride. It would be nice if castelli would make this jersey with some of their fancy graphic designs. All in all a very nice product.

Castelli Body Paint Full-Zip Jersey - Short-Sleeve - Men's
"Almost" perfect
Really wanted to like this jersey but was dissapointed with the construction on the two I tried.
The black jersey has a red stripe across the chest, and the stripe did not matche up on both sides of chest. On one jersey one-half of stripe was about an inch lower on one side, and on other jersey one-half of stripe was narrower and different shape. This is not good for a high-priced top of the line Castelli made in Italy.
Aside from the construction defect the jersey is an amazing piece of equipment. Used it once in 70 degee cool weather (not a hot weather jersey) and was very satisfied. Now if only Castelli would pay a little more attention to their quality control the jersey would be perfect.
Oh, and a note regardinig sizing. Jersey is super tight and I had to go XL instead of usual Castelli L size.

Castelli Presto Short - Men's
Good Chamois
I like the firm feel of the Chamois on these Prestos. I have other Castelli shorts with the Kiss chamois but they're thinner and softer. Also good stitching and overall construction. Good value (especially on sale).

Castelli Arrivo Full-Zip Jersey - Short-Sleeve - Men's
Arrivo, yes.
It's hard to go wrong with castelli. The prosecco fabric keeps me cool and dry in hot and muggy weather, and the cut is very stylish. Think they're manufactured in El Salvador, but could pass for Italian. Nice.

Castelli Body Paint Bib Short - Men's
Buy them!
One word: WOW.
The construction, fit and finish on these bibs is top Castelli quality. Best chamois I've tried, and the one-piece lycra bottoms feel as if I'm wearing nothing.
Don't know about durability yet as I've only washed them a few times.
Bottom line: no more okay shorts for me. This body paint gear is lots more expensive but definitely worth the money.

Castelli Sottile Vest
clammy and does not breathe
This Castelli vest is good for wind and rain protection. However it does a very poor job of transferring heat/sweat to the outside of vest for evaporation. I went on a ride today in cool 50 degree weather and when I took the vest off the inside was dripping wet while the outside was dry. I don't believe it "breathes" as Castelli claims. I have returned it for refund and continue to look for the perfect lightweight wind vest.

Louis Garneau Tuscan Socks
Goodbye stinky feet!
These socks are thin and feel like silk. Wore them on a warm 60 mile ride and they have very good ventilation and kept my feet dry. A bonus was that when I pulled them off they had no stinky smell at all :) I'm a size 9 and the L/XL size just fit without being too big. I'm getting another pair.

Castelli Sottile Jacket
Feels like space alien skin.
The material on this jacket is very odd and very cool. Kind of like a gossamer alien membrane that stretches and weighs less than a piece of toast. I fully expected that it would not keep me dry in the Pacific Northwest drizzle, or that it would tear when I pulled on it.
After a number or rides this Sottile has become my favorite shell. I don't believe it's completely waterproof but highly water resistant. Also breathes and keeps out the wind. I stuff it in my jersey anytime there is any chance of rain.
The one "downside" is the steep price for 3 ounces of plastic. But hey! Alien skin ain't cheap. :)

Castelli Podium Collection - Ganna Navy Jersey - Short-Sleeve - Men's
Good material. Funny cut.
I give this jersey three stars because the material and construction are very nice.
Like another review here the downside for me is that the armholes are cut funny. They are too high and pinch my armpits.
I wish it fit right because it is a nice jersey. Oh, well. At least Realcyclist will refund $.

Castelli Ganna Cycling Jacket - Men's
Stylish and good construction
Wore the jacket this morning on a 43 degree damp and windy group ride. Good a keeping out the wind and stayed warm with a silk-weight baselayer and thin long sleeve jersey underneath. Lots of compliments on the look, and the construction is solid with thick and breathable fabric.
Oh, and I ordered it on Wednesday morning and got it Friday afternoon. Wow! The customer service is really as good as all the other reviewers say. Thanks!

That lead to some serious Man Ho'ing. (Not with actual men -sorry BFD)
Dayum, Padre you big tease!
Bubblie, I was in a LTR for 17 years. After we split up I jumped head first into another relationship that lasted 5 years but, we never lived together. I used to jokingly call him my rebound boy. I wouldn't recommend starting a new relationship so soon.
Now I have been single for about 5 years. It took time getting used to being alone as I was "married" since the age of 19. When I first found myself all alone I made some huge life changes. I quit my job and drove around the country for a while with my 2 dogs. When I returned home I sold my house and re-located to a different part of the country. That was about 3 years ago. I don't think I will ever find myself in another relationship although I won't totally shut the door on the idea. It's just that I don't know if I can find the patience to put up with anyone's shit anymore. Color me jaded and a smidge bitter.
I do get lonely at times and when things are not going well I miss having someone to hold me and comfort me.
Welcome to the board and the best of luck to you. I know it's not easy to feel that sort of rejection.

Bubblie, bless your heart.
Divorces and break-ups hurt. Even though I initiated mine (on Valentine's day he he) it was still hard. They take a little piece of you when they go.
The best thing you can do is make real friends. My best friend and I always say, boys will come and go but girlfriends are forever. Friends make you feel better. That's what you really need right now.
P.S. Priest seems a little frustrated. I can never imagine anyone telling you that you aren't good enough.
P.P.S. One of these days I'll hug BFD til his eyes pop out.

Dagney, thanks for the hugs. Sparks, I love you & enjoyed talking with you for two hours last night on the phone, my ear still hurts. Priest way to go on giving up the smokes. I haven't smoked since I was in my twenties & am afraid to even try it again, because I would be hooked again. Junctionguy his comments are not vague. They are clear cut & I hate to say it I can see his point. We have been living as roomates for years. Haven't worked on the marriage but let it go. I just thought we were going through a different phase in life since we are older now. We have both been faithful for all the years together. I still love him & he says he loves me & will love me forever. I am just trying to get my head around the idea that I won't be married anymore. It has been a contant feature in my life so long. He is my best friend. That is the biggest loss. Now I have to stand on my own two feet by myself. I have to find a new place to live. I couldn't stay where we are now, too many memories. Maybe, family is the way to go.

I am beginning a divorce after 30 years of marriage, it is hard for both of us, my wife still wants to remain a couple, i do not as we have very little in common, we have grown apart sadly. From what i see, usually long before either partner files there are signs that the marriage has difficulties. Sometime those difficulties can be overcome often not.
I believe important an thing is to be as civilised as possible, despite what you are both going through.
Regards DAvid

I got divorced almost three years ago.
What I've done is avoid dating. I live by myself and mind my own business.
I briefly tried the Match.com thing and quickly discovered I was a lunatic for trying that.
You can't force things. I don't even want to want.
It becomes easier and easier to simply be a human without any attachments, commitments of obligations other than my kids (whom I see every single day.)
You become who you are that way.
I think most relationships are habit. Bad habit.

Yes, we are going to stay friends. Just not as close as now. I will miss him. When, you are so sad it is hard to keep it friendly but I am working on it everyday. This just happened the end of May, so I think I am moving along in fast forward. Life is short, especially when you are as old as I am! Trying to stay positive is easy but now I get a fresh start.

I really wish I had some words of wisdom for you because I'm going through the same thing. Get closer to your family, do something for YOURSELF, and don't ever ever blame yourself. It's never just one person.
This is disloyalty to an extreme. Abandonment is the worst kind of disloyalty.
Yes, it is, especially when the one partner does NOT want to even attempt to work on things after so long. It is not fair, or right, that one person makes such a decision.
I think you will find out that you are alot stronger than you give yourself credit for, and you need to believe that you will be ok. Give yourself time to grieve, but don't let it become the focal part of your life. Once you come to terms with it in your mind, then your heart, you will beable to go on and be better for it.

I went through a divorce, myself, and it was very difficult. When my mom went through her divorce, after 21 years of marriage, she kept saying that it would have been easier to deal w/ a death than to know that her spouse tossed her aside because he didn't want her anymore. Although, my father left her for another woman and from what you have indicated, that is not the case w/ you. Whatever his reasoning, I know that it still hurts, that you are completely devastated, and your world had been turned upside down. Just know that there are many here who have gone through this very thing and if you ever need to talk, we are here for you.

So sorry so many have gone through or going through this experience. I never understood what it was like before. The sorrow is sometimes too much to bear. You just have to move on. Bumble Bee thanks for the encouragement. You said something to me once about being on your own "it isn't so bad." I am beginning to see this for myself, slowly. Sweetface always good to hear from you. Happy moving day Saturday. I will think of you as I make my way down the East coast. Hope I can access the board from my sister's computer. If not see you all in a few weeks.

It has to be one of the most stressful things in your life - having your husband reject you after all those years of marriage. Your ideas about relocating, helping with your mother, that sort of thing, are good ideas. They'll give you a focus while you get your head sorted out. It may take a while to thing of yourself as an individual, not part of a couple, but now is the time for you to figure out what you want your life to be, what you want to do with the remainder of your life. Best wishes!

Welcome. Therapy is a great thing. Take your time. Don't do anything big for at least one year. Get a really good lawyer. It sounds like he's been thinking about this for a while and you might want to look at your financial assets for the last few years. I don't know what his problem is but it is his not yours. Walk, eat healthy, do things you've always wanted to...even if you do it along (I got certified in diving and joined a local children's community theatre, took voice lessons, got a wonderful dog). There is a million great adventures waiting for you.

I can sooooooo relate. After nearly 20 years, (17 to be exact) my husband let me pack up our apartment, because we were moving to another apartment, and then told me that he didn't want to be married to me anymore. He said he didn't love me, wasn't attracted to me and furthermore didnt like me. Talk about my self esteem going south. You know what the "oh so righteous santified sisters told me? they said and I quote, " Well good! He was crazy anyway, I never liked him, now you'll have more time for meetings and field service!"
I'd had doubts for a long time, but after this, I think this is what really sent me over the edge. Meetings and field service. My heart is broken and they are worrying about meeting attendance and field service hours. Only one elder has been really cool. He even said that that kind of thinking was crazy. He told me to stopn talking to all those old women, and if I needed to talk, to call him! For a while I played it in all sincerity. I really thought that Jehovah would touch my husband's heart and bring him to his "senses", but that didn't happen. I am now legally divorced, financially troubled, and emotionally damaged. Alll this happened last year, (I won't give the exact month, in case some of the 'faithful' are looking at this site, shouldn't be, but you all know how they operate., What is it/ Theocratic warfare?) I wanted to die, I thought I'd lose my mind, in fact even now when the lonelinessn is too great, I beg God ton just let me die, but in His mercy, he always wakes me up in the morning. I'm grateful. I have met several people on line. I'm not ready to fall in love just yet, but Iong for a friend (male) to go places with, to just hang out with.
You hang in there honey. Right now, it feels like there is a hole where your heart should be, there is nothing joyful about life right now, but it will get better. If you need to, pm me, I don't know what YOU personally are going through, but I've been through the heartache myself and I can tell you, it will end. You will be lonely, just try to occupy yourself, find ways to fill the time. Don't turn to drink. I almost did. Thank God I was able to snap out of it in time.
Take care,

I'm so sorry you are going through this after being together so long!!! That has got to be so tough!! I agree that maybe counceling would help, 30yrs is a long time to give up on all your history.
I've been divorced once. Mainly because I married to young (like most do in the borg) and divorced after 6 yrs and one child. The custody batte continued on for 2-3 after the divorce was final...It is a very hard and emotional stressful event to go through. Just do what makes you happy. Take one day at a time. You don't need a man to fulfill you. But in time, if that is what you desire, you will find it and will find happiness again!
I'm thinking of you!!!

Bradley Snider
|Grand Theft Auto V
|Full name:
|Bradley Snider
|Also known as:
|Date of death:
|Ludendorff, North Yankton
|Main affiliation:
|Michael Townley
Trevor Philips
Lester Crest
Getaway Driver
|Voiced by:
|Ryan Woodle
- "Did you see that shit? I fuckin' put that bitch's face against the glass. Did you see that?"
- ―Brad talking about the heist.
Bradley "Brad" Snider is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series, appearing in Grand Theft Auto V. Brad was a long-time friend Michael Townley and Trevor Philips and a member of their heist crew. Despite his limited screen-time, Brad has a key role in the late part of the story.
Early life Edit
Little is known about Snider's early life, other than that he was born (or at least lived for some time) in Ludendorff, North Yankton.
Early criminal life Edit
Brad did not commit any serious crimes until he met with Trevor Philips and became a member of a heist crew, consisting of Michael Townley, Philips and Lester Crest. From then on, they would rob banks and make a fortune, all while evading law enforcement. Despite their fruitful partnership, Brad was disliked by Townley and Crest who both distrusted him. Trevor, on the hand, was more close with Brad.
Ludendorff Edit
It was in 2004 when Brad participated in a fateful heist, along with the pair and an unnamed getaway driver. The heist was a failure, with Trevor murdering a security guard, unexpected police 'heat' resulting in the death of the driver, and Brad and Michael being shot during the escape by an FIB agent. Only Trevor managed to escape. Publicly, Brad was imprisoned with a stiff sentence, while Michael died of his gunshot wound; in reality, Brad was buried as "Michael Townley", and Michael was allowed by Dave Norton a new life under a new name, Michael De Santa.
Over the next nine years, Brad maintained an infrequent correspondence with Trevor through paper and electronic mail. It served as his only lifeline to the outside world, as he claimed to be denied visitor privileges. By the time Trevor reunites with Michael and Lester Crest, Brad seems relatively at peace with his situation and encourages Trevor to turn himself in. In reality, these messages were written by Dave in person, to make sure Trevor wouldn't doubt about Brad's status.
The truth Edit
Trevor eventually realizes the truth, however: Brad never survived the botched Prologue heist and was buried in the place of the supposedly-dead Michael. Michael himself is aware that Brad's prison correspondance was faked by Dave Norton, the FIB agent who arranged Michael's heist and fake death (and who also fatally shot Brad), after he intercepted Trevor's initial attempts to write to Brad. Over Michael's protests, Trevor flies to North Yankton during Bury the Hatchet to confirm his suspicions, and exhumes Brad's corpse from Michael's grave. This discovery increases the tension between Trevor and Michael for the rest of the plot.
Brad had little screen time during the game to fully display his personality. What is known of him are second hand descriptions, mostly by Trevor, who is an unreliable narrator.
For much of the game it is implied that Trevor and Brad had a close relationship. They had identical "cut here" tattoos on their necks. Trevor attempted to write to Brad while in prison, and several times during the game talked about missing Brad. When Trevor first begins to think that he was mislead on Brad's death, he loses it and flies straight to North Yankton to verify. On the other hand, while hanging out with Franklin, Trevor says that he thought Brad was a "dick", and would have probably killed him at some point anyway but "wouldn't have done it in such an underhanded fashion and the authorities wouldn't have been involved."
Michael never talks much about Brad, but Trevor claims that the two of them never liked each other and that at one point Brad planned to cut Michael off. Lester described Brad as the "shit" part of the team, because he was "lazy, forgetful, mean and stupid." In the Prologue, Brad laughs and brags about smashing a woman's face into glass, displaying a lack of empathy. Michael even berates him for doing so, sarcastically calling him a "stallion."
Trevor continues for the rest of the game to berate Michael for "betraying" Brad. If The Third Way is chosen however, by the end of the game, Trevor forgives Michael and both agree that Brad really was a "dick" after all. During a hangout, Michael would then offer him his share from the Union Depository heist just because he wants him to be happy. Trevor would refuse the share and seemingly forgive Michael. Despite forgiving Michael, however, Trevor will continue to berate him at times because of the failed heist.
- If the player finishes the mission The Third Way or The Time's Come, Dave will text message Trevor that he was the one who sent the e-mails to Trevor posing as Brad.

What The Enemy Is Thinking. . . Retreat Security
Retreat Security: I Am Your Worst Nightmare, by Jeff T.
I am the leader of a band of 8-to-12 looters. I have some basic military training. We move from place to place like locusts devouring everything in our path. My group is armed with light weapons and can develop and follow simple plans of attack. We take what we want by force of arms. We prefer none of our victims survive because that could cause problems for us in the future.
It has been six months since the grid went down. You and the other five members of your party have settled into what may be a long grinding existence. The every day tasks of growing and gathering have now become routine. The news from the outside is extremely limited but you dont really miss it much. Life is simple but physically demanding.
Although things may seem stable you will need to keep your team focused and alert. This is your first and most important layer of defense. You should hold an immediate reaction drill once per week. Keep things simple. Practice a specific response to such threats as injury, fire, attack and evacuation. Despite the challenges you must maintain contact with those around you such as neighbors for vital clues that trouble is brewing. Regular monitoring the radio will be critical in providing an early warning of trouble. You may be able to safely interview refugees with risking your party. Keep in mind the information you get from them may not always be reliable.
While you have been farming I have been learning the best tactics to employ to seize your property and your goods. I have been refining them since we hit the road right after the lights went out. I have conducted eight hits so far and have been successful seven times. Here are some of my lessons learned.
Intelligence gathering and target selection is critical to my success. Targets include those who have large quantities of fuel, food and other valuable supplies. My posse is constantly questioning anyone and everyone we contact searching for this our next victim. Anyone who has ever had knowledge, even second hand, of your preparations is someone of interest to me. I may approach them directly or indirectly. If anyone knows something I will find out about it. Who seems well-fed? Who still has transportation? Who has lights? Who was prepared? Where are they exactly? Somebody talks, either in person or on the radio. They always do.
We search for victims night and day. During the day we are listening for the sounds of machinery, cars, tractors, gunfire or generators. Day or night without a lot of wind those sounds can carry for miles. At night I look for any sort of light. Even a small flash indicates somebody with electricity and that means a rich target. I always have somebody listing to the scanner for any news, leads or insecure chatter.
Operational Security (OPSEC) is an important concept for your entire group to understand and maintain. If somebody outside your circle doesnt have a real need to know about your plans, preparations or procedures then they shouldnt know period. Develop a cover story and live it like was a bulletproof vest. It is no less important to your protection and survival. During an event you need to blend in with the surrounding environment. Carefully observe noise (such as generators and other engines) and light discipline especially at night. If you need to test fire weapons do it in one sequence to avoid a prolonged noise signature.
Once I find and target you reconnaissance of your retreat is my next step. Only a fool would try to rush in and try to overwhelm a group of survivalists. We had a bad experience with that during our second hit. Now we spend at least a day or two trying to size up a large opportunity and the best way to take it down. I will observe retreat activity from a nearby-concealed position. I will get an idea of your numbers, weapons, routines and so much more by careful surreptitious observation. If your group seems alert, I will try and trigger a false alarm with a dog or child to watch your reaction to a threat. That helps me know how you respond, where you are strong and how to attack. I may also obtain a topographical map of the area to identify likely avenues of approach and potential escapes routes you will try to use. I may coerce your neighbors into uncovering a weak spot or access point or other important intelligence. I also have a Bearcat
handheld scanner. I will be listening for any insecure chatter from your radios.
Regular patrols at irregular intervals focused on likely observation points and avenues of approach could keep me at bay. You could put down sand or other soft soil in key choke points as a way of recording if anyone has recently traveled through the land. Dogs, with their advanced sense of hearing and smell are able to detect and alert you to intruders well in advance of any human. Motion sensing IR video cameras as a part of a security plan could play a part in your layered defense as long as you have power. A 24 hour manned observation point equipped with high quality optical tools is a must. It should be fortified and if possible concealed. It should have a weapon capable of reaching to the edges of your vision. Seismic intrusion devices, night vision and thermal imaging are phenomenal force multiplying tools. They can give you critical intelligence and warning. You should use them if you have them. Understand they are not fool proof and I can
often neutralize them if I know you have them.
These tools and techniques provide you reaction time. Time to plan your response and time to execute that plan. Recognize that a defender is always at a disadvantage. By definition a defender will be reacting to my attack. Modern warfare has emphasized the ability of the attacker to operate faster than opponents can react. This can be explained by the OODA loop. Below are the four steps of the classic OODA loop. These are the steps a defender goes through when under attack.
1. Observing or noticing the attack.
2. Orient to the direction, method and type of attack.
3. Deciding what the appropriate response will be.
4. Acting on that decision.
As an attacker I will try and operate at a pace faster than you as a defender can adjust to. I will change my direction, pace, timing and method to force you to continue to process through the OODA loop. This creates confusion and wastes your precious reaction time. As a defender you will need to disrupt or reset your attackers timing with a counter-attack. When you are successful you become the attacker. Your defensive plans should utilize and exploit this concept. Here are a few scenarios:
1. Snipe & Siege
I will begin the attack when I can engage at least half of your partys military age personnel in one coordinated effort. I will infiltrate my team into concealed positions around your retreat within 50 to 75 yards. I will target any identified leadership with the first volley. Two thirds of my people will be engaging personnel. The other group will target communications antennas, surveillance cameras and any visible lighting assets. I want your group unable to see, communicate or call for help. The members of my band will each fire two magazines in the initial exchange. Two thirds of my group will change to new concealed positions and wait. One third will fall back into an ambush of the most likely avenue of escape. We will stay concealed and wait until you come out to attend to your wounded and dead. We repeat the attack as necessary until any resistance is crushed.
Ensure you adjust the landscape around your retreat so that I dont have anyplace offering cover or concealment within 100 yards of your residence. You can create decorative masonry walls that can be used to offer cover for personnel close to your residence. Fighting positions can be built now and used as raised planting beds and then excavated for use in the future. These can be extended or reinforced after any significant event. These structures or other measures such as trenching must be sited carefully to avoid allowing them to be used effectively by an attacker if they are overrun.

2. Trojan Horse
For one hit we used an old UPS truck. We forced a refugee to drive it to the retreat gate. We concealed half our group inside the truck. The truck was hardened on the inside with some sandbags around the edges. The other half of our group formed an ambush concealed inside the tree line along the driveway. We killed the driver to make it look good and had one person run away. Those preppers almost waited us out. After nearly three hours they all walked slowly down the driveway. They were bunched up in a group intent on checking out the truck and driver. It was like shooting fish in a barrel.
They could have worked together as group to sweep the area 360 degrees around the truck and they would have surely found us. A dog would have also alerted the residents to our presence. They could have taken measures to eliminate the vegetation offering us concealment on the road near the gate. They could have used CS gas or something similar to "deny" any suspicious areas. Lastly they could have done a "reconnaissance by fire". Shooting into likely hiding spots, including the truck, trying to evoke a response. They should have established an over watch position with the majority of their group. This over watch group would have provided visual security and an immediate response if there were an attack. They were not expecting any additional threats. They didn't consider that there might be additional danger lurking nearby aside from the truck and they died.
3. Kidnap & Surrender
A few weeks ago we surprised and captured a couple of women out tending a garden. It was totally by chance. We were traveling through a very rural area on our way to another town when somebody heard a tractor backfire. We immediately stopped and I sent a small team to recon the noise. They bumped into a small party tending a field at the edge of their retreat. They seized two women and immediately dragged them back to our vehicles. We began negotiations by sending a finger from each one back to the retreat under a white flag. The rest was easy.
This didn't need to happen. Better noise discipline would have kept us from discovering their retreat. Some simple boundary fencing or tangle foot could have delayed us. The women should have been armed and aware of such a threat. If they has established an over watch for the garden they could have engaged us before we took our hostages or at least alerted the others that there was a problem. They also could have had a quick reaction SOP developed prior to this incident. That Quick Reaction (QR) force could have followed the kidnappers back to our vehicles and set up an ambush of their own. Rural retreat security is a full time job. If you snooze you may lose everything.
4. Fire and Maneuver
I don't like this option but sometimes the prize is just too tempting. We typically infiltrate quietly at night to prearranged start points. We begin our attack just before dawn when your senses are dulled by a long night watch or from sleep. Based on our reconnaissance we divided your retreat into positions or zones that need specific attention. We prepare for battle by using an air rifle to target any lights or cameras. Our first priority is to engage any LP/OP site and destroy or degrade them as much as possible. I split my forces into two supporting groups. One group keeps the target position under constant fire. The other group also fires and maneuvers, closing on the target and destroying it with gunfire or improvised weapons. Many times these positions only have one occupant and the task is relatively easy. Often these positions are easy to spot and are too far from each other to provide any effective mutual support. We will work from one
position to the next. In the darkness and confusion most of the defenders are disoriented and ineffective. They fall like dominos. We have also used motorcycles to negotiate obstacles and speed through cuts in the perimeter fence. Then throw Molotov ****tails into any defensive position as they roar past. If you fall back into your residence we will set up a siege. If we can maneuver close enough, perhaps by using a distraction, we will pump concentrated insecticide into your building or we may introduce LP gas from a portable tank into the house and ignite it with tracer fire.
If there was enough warning time from your OP you could execute a pre-planned response. Your planned response should be simple, easy to understand and execute. Half your group occupies your fighting positions, two to a position. The rest of your party establishes an over watch and concentrate its fire at the enemies trying to fix your positions. If you had more than enough prepared positions the enemy might not know where to attack. It would also provide more flexibility in your defense based on the direction of attack. I would use Night Vision if available or illumination from flares or lights as a last resort. Rats hate light.
Usually people keep main access points blocked from high-speed approach. Likely avenues of approach should also be blocked or choked and kept under observation. Remember though what keeps me out keeps you in. Typically the common techniques of parking vehicles in roadways will only delay my approach not stop it altogether. An ordinary 12-gauge shotgun, shooting slugs, can stop most types of non-military vehicles at close range.
Don't forget the threat of fire or other non-traditional weapons in your defensive plans.
You could create the illusion of a "dead end" for your main access road by positioning a burned out trailer home or a couple of burned out cars at the false "end" of the road. Concealing the fact that the road actually continues to your residence.
Lastly, develop a plan to evacuate and evade capture. When faced with a significantly superior force it may be the only viable option. This should include simple, reliable communications or signals such as three blasts on a dog whistle. Your fighting positions and barriers need to be constructed to allow coordinated withdrawal in an emergency. You should establish a rally point and time limit to assemble. I believe this should be a priority in your practice drills. During a real emergency you may be able to rally, rearm and plan your own version of the "snipe and siege" to retake your retreat.
Key messages:
Your rural retreat defense can be visualized as a set of concentric rings:
Location – Location – Location: High and remote are best
OPSEC – Think of it as a form of armor or shield: Practice it and protect it.
Observation Post / Listening Post: Your first best chance to counter attack
Gates / Fences / other barriers: May slow me down. Might keep you in.
Fighting positions: Must provide mutual support and allow for evacuation.
Residence: Last line. Don't become trapped
People, Planning and Practice
An aggressive and unexpected counter strike can win the battle.
Stay alert for multiple threats or diversionary tactics.
Criminals excel at feigning weakness to lower your guard.
Don't underestimate me.

Good view of the OPFOR - Have to read your recomendations -
In the prepping mindset, ive always tried to view things from all different directions, including that of a possible enemy. Its amazing what things you see, and find out when you try looking at things from a bad guys mindset. A perfect example is look at your house, and think of the many ways to break into your house, then try them. Some work, some work, some dont, and some will open up even new ways to. Knowing this, plan accordingly!

You have to be prepared in every positional status you place yourself in to be able to evade. I would think you would want to be able to assess in action (if surprised) quickly if you need to fight or evade, and not evading when you need to means kaput in these scenarios.
"The moment the idea is admitted into society, that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence.' and that `Property is surely a right of mankind as real as liberty.'"
-John Adams
I agree with this as well. You cant always fight it out, and I believe its actually prudent to actually avoid contact, and avoid trying to get into a firefight. Evading is the smarter option even if you are a superior force with superior tactics/weapons/training.
Member since BFN V2.0
I've been mulling over this exact post for a couple of years now. I think it's a good one in that it gets one to think about things from the attacker's perspective. One thing that I've come to a conclusion about in recent years is, what we're headed for will never really look like what is described in the post. It's not going to be "The Postman" out there. I did read some stuff from that Fer-Fal dude and his experiences in Argentina.
The conclusions I have are that, in an economic slowdown, we will see crime increase and governments will not be doing anything about it. Understanding the history of mankind and how we used to do things before tyranny is how we can understand how things will likely look. One change to that is the initial number of zombies. We have a lot of welfare cases that depend on a government check. When it doesn't come in, that's when the violence is likely to start. After that, we just have to understand what community is.
In every scenario listed, you have super small fortresses manned by handfuls of people as defenders. This is not community. Community involves, well, the whole community. In your area, how many people are not welfare recipients? Among those, how many do you figure won't steal from you or others? That's probably going to be your community. It will number in the hundreds.
I guess I envision organizing a militia, town leadership, a border and when this is complete, the community will not admit outsiders without exceptional cause. It will continue trade with other reputable communities and will repel roving bands of individuals (used to be known as bandits). Communities that fail to do this will die out in a short number of years.
When organizing this, you have to think generationally. We're not "surviving until relieved" for one to five years. It's a new way of life. Life in this nation will not look like it did for that seventy years. We're hoping it will return to more like what it looked like 100-200 years ago. But we're going to be poor for quite a while...oh, and we're going to speak Spanish and Arabic and we'll be under Sharia law. But all that is due to demographics and who's having children....

A Quick Look at BlackBerry Protect
For as long as I've been an BlackBerry fan, I am sad to admit I've also been a Mac user. When I first heard of BlackBerry Protect I couldn't help but think how similar it sounds to Apple's MobileMe service. BlackBerry Protect will be available "later this year" from RIM, and will allow users to remotely backup and restore data, as well remotely track your BlackBerry, and lock or remote wipe if needed. The goal of BlackBerry Protect is to make your device and its content secure and easier to switch from one device to another. Sadly BlackBerry Protect is in a very limited beta, and will be available later this year for the general public.
Key features of BlackBerry Protect include:
- Remote Device Management:
- Protect important information on a lost BlackBerry smartphone by remotely wiping or locking the device from your desktop
- Remotely add contact information to the home screen of a locked BlackBerry smartphone so it can be returned if found
- See your BlackBerry smartphone's location and pinpoint the current whereabouts of a lost or stolen device with cell tower and GPS device tracking
- Find a nearby misplaced BlackBerry smartphone by remotely activating a loud ringer
- Over the Air (OTA) Backup and Restore:
- Back up data from your BlackBerry smartphone (including Contacts and Calendar; Memos and Tasks; Browser Bookmarks and Text Messages) over Wi-Fi
- Restore your data to a new BlackBerry smartphone, or simply switch from one BlackBerry smartphone to another
Keep on reading to find out more details about BlackBerry Protect…
Let's take a look at how BlackBerry Protect works for you.
When you first open up the app from your BlackBerry smartphone, this is what you will see. It's got that BlackBerry 6 (OS 6.0) feeling to do. Right from the home screen of this application it displays your BlackBerry ID (which you may already have from App World 2.0) along with when your device was last backed up, when your next backup will take place, and a couple options – backup only via Wi-Fi and roaming options. Below are the three icons Backup Now, Restore from Backup, or the Message Inbox (for BlackBerry Protect).
It's very easy to do a backup when you want, or even do a restore when you want. BlackBerry Protect will be great for those who like to backup before every app install. Backing up data is fast and effective. The device I tested the backup function on didn't have a ton of data, but it took under 30 seconds to back it up. Restoring is extremely simple as well. All you have to do is press the restore button and select which one you want to restore.
The options menu on device is pretty straight forward. In the options you can set when you would like BlackBerry Protect to backup your data (Daily, Weekly, Monthly), set to only backup over Wi-Fi, or to allow when roaming, as well select what data you want the app to backup (contacts, calendars, tasks, memos, browser bookmarks, and text messages).
This is the home screen from the web based panel. This admin panel will allow you to remotely track your device in case of lost or stolen, as well play a loud ring to get attention, or display an on screen message. The web panel will also allow you to lock the device, or remotely wipe it. All with a simple click of a button.
What I found really handy was the web based admin panel will let you start a backup with a simple click. So just in case your device isn't right in front of you it's backed up.
So that was a quick look at RIM's upcoming consumer security software for BlackBerry. Sadly I wasn't able to test this app on my personal device, because I am on BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Server). BlackBerry Protect doesn't like to play nice with enterprise software, therefore I would have had to wipe my device and start with the basics. I was hoping for BBSync's very own App Reviewer, Susan to way in on her thoughts with BlackBerry Protect, but her device (Bold 9650) isn't supported as of yet. Speaking of which, currently RIM only supports the following devices for the limited BlackBerry Protect beta:
- BlackBerry Storm 9500 with 5.0 OS software
- BlackBerry Storm 9530 with 5.0 OS software
- BlackBerry Storm2 9550 with 5.0 OS software
- BlackBerry Bold 9000 with 5.0 OS software
- BlackBerry Bold 9700 with 5.0 OS software
- BlackBerry Tour 9630 with 4.7.1 or 5.0 OS software
- BlackBerry Curve 8520 with 5.0 OS software
- BlackBerry Curve 8900 with 4.6.1 or 5.0 OS software
We hope to see the list grow as new devices come out.
This sums up the preview of BlackBerry Protect and we'd like to know your thoughts of it, we hope you're looking forward to it as we are. This is the introduction screen to BlackBerry Protect by RIM.
Post your thoughts and first impressions, we'd really like to know what the community thinks.

Working to save endangered deer from extinction — again
Biologists are working to capture endangered Columbian white-tailed deer at the Julia Butler Hansen Refuge. Their current home is in danger of flooding if a dike on the Columbia River breaks.
Seattle Times staff reporter
CATHLAMET, Wahkiakum County —
Relocating a deer can be tricky.
Their powerful kicks and sharp hoofs have been known to break ribs — and that's if biologists can get close enough to the animals to try to restrain them. The timid creatures are wary of humans, and waiting for them to wander into a baited trap can mean hours of sitting in a car with the windows rolled up.
But for employees and volunteers at the Julia Butler Hansen Refuge for the Columbian White-Tailed Deer, discomfort is a small price to pay if it means saving the deer from extinction.
Crews began trucking deer from the 7,000-acre federal refuge, in Wahkiakum County near Cathlamet, at the end of January to save them from a possible flood. The dike protecting the area from the Columbia River could fail at any time, said Doug Zimmer, a spokesman for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The dike was built in the 1920s to protect farmland and began eroding in 2011 when the river flow changed.
"The dike could breach today, it could breach next week, it could breach next year," Zimmer said. "We just need to be prepared for when it does happen."
With no date set to replace the dike, biologists hope to move 50 of the refuge's 100 deer before April, when does are too far along in their pregnancies to be transported. So far, crews have caught and relocated 14 deer.
This species of deer is unique to southwestern Washington and northwestern Oregon. Unlike their abundant cousins, the black-tailed deer, the Columbian white-tailed deer cannot be legally hunted.
Decades of over-hunting during the 19th century decimated the species. When Lewis and Clark arrived in Washington, they documented seeing the deer as far east as the Yakima Valley. Now the species can only be found at a handful of wildlife refuges in Western Washington and Oregon.
The Columbian white-tailed deer was one of the first to be classified as endangered after the Endangered Species Act passed in 1973.
Biologists aren't necessarily thinking the deer would drown in a flood. Rather, they worry the animals would starve. With part of the refuge under water, the deer would be forced into in a much smaller area, where there wouldn't be enough food to go around.
So a team led by Paul Meyers, a wildlife biologist for the Fish and Wildlife Service, is working quickly to move them to the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge, 60 miles south.
The transported deer are starting a new colony in the area, which is part of the Columbian white-tailed deer's historical habitat. Before the relocation, there were no deer at the Ridgefield refuge.
Meyers and his team are using nets to catch deer, as it's the best way to catch more than one at a time. The nets are suspended on poles and the trap is baited with pears and apples, which Meyers said are like Snickers candy bars for deer. The teams then wait in their vehicles for the deer to walk into the trap.
When a deer walks into the trap, biologists drop the net using a remote. The teams then work quickly to bind the deer's legs and place the animal in a narrow wooden crate — all while watching out for defensive strikes.
"Being kicked by a deer feels about the same as being hit by a hammer," Meyers said. "We do our best to avoid that."
Crews load the crate ontothe bed of a pickup and drive to the animals' new home. The deer tend to stick around the release site for about a week to get their bearings, but aren't affected long-term by the relocation, said Refuge Complex manager Jackie Ferrier.
The biologists note the ages and gender of the captured deer to ensure the new colony's demographics will help the deer survive. Ferrier said the teams are trying to capture more females than males so the deer will breed and the colony will grow. Five of the deer captured so far are bucks, nine are does. Catching the animals in family groups is also important, as fawns can't survive without their mothers
"It's best to have a doe, a fawn and a yearling," Ferrier said. "[The deer] usually stick with their mothers for a while."
While a dike breach could be catastrophic, successful relocation of the deer could ultimately help the species. Meyers explained it's better for conservation efforts to have Columbian white-tailed deer populations at as many locations as possibleso that threats, such as disease, at one location won't wipe out the entire species.
Zimmer said the Fish and Wildlife Service still hopes to rebuild the dike to allow for population growth at the colony. But the project will require cooperation among Wahkiakum County, the district responsible for the dike, the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Army Corps of Engineers.
The Corps offered to fund a $5 million project to modify the damaged portion of the dike using money set aside for salmon-habitat creation. The new dike would arc off the current dike away from the river. The old dike would be breached in a few spots, creating a calm body of water between the two structures for salmon to spawn in. The diking district has yet to approve the plan.
"Here they have a piece of federal land, and they have an opportunity to build a salmon habitat," Zimmer said. "And we have the opportunity to put in a new dike. It's a win-win situation."

Photo #: NH 100121
S.S. Victorious (American Freighter, 1918)
Probably in San Francisco Bay, California, in October 1918, at the time of her trial trip. Built by the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation at Alameda, California, she was acquired by the Navy upon completion, on 19 October 1918, and placed in commissioned two days later as USS Victorious (ID # 3514). She was decommissioned on 24 February 1919 and returned to the U.S. Shipping Board.
Note her pattern camouflage and how high she is riding, with nearly half of her propeller exposed.

In addition to Shop Outside the Box, there are two antique/funky junk shows this weekend that provide plenty of opportunity to shop for repurposable goods.
I hope to show up at both of these events (between bouts of grading stacks of essays…darn day job—cuts into the fun).
Five Mile Prairie Grange Tag & Rummage Sale:
The Tag & Rummage Sale promises to be good—full of great household items and furniture. (I am on a mission to find old, white enamelware to hold wedding flowers—my hopes are high for this show).
The show is Saturday only from 8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. I'm showing up early!
Custer Antiques & Collectibles Sale:
This is a huge sale—be prepared to walk a lot and make decisions about what to buy (bring some water and a snack or two to help sustain you). With over 300 vendors, there should be something for everyone.
The MAC will also be represented at the show appraising collectibles and family treasures. I love this feature of the event and am still trying to decide what I'll bring—it's like a mini Antiques Roadshow.
The show runs April 29 – May 1 at the Spokane Fair & Expo Center. Admission (good all weekend) is $6; children 12 and under are free.
Friday: 4:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Saturday: 10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Sunday: 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
I'll take my camera and let you know what I end up with!
What treasures are you looking for?
LWolcott on April 30 at 1:53 p.m.
The grange show was a success, with both of us finding fun and useful items. Thanks for the invite. It's a date for next year!

Shameless Begging! I Need Your Help…
MomDot.com has a contest giving away a set of Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 & Premiere Elements 7 (for videos), a $179 value, and I want it. Bad.
I have already entered the contest, which ends December 19th You can also get additional entries by twittering or you can enter on behalf of another blogger {at the MomDot.com site}. Since I don't exactly know how to twitter, nor do I have the time to figure it out, I am asking any of my bloggy buds who would like to do so, to do a contest entry on my behalf.
Just so you all know where I am coming from, we just got our first ever home PC in March of this year {I heard the collective shock resonate…Stop laughing, I already know!!}, but did not get connected to the Internet until the middle of July because the funds were just not available. The Internet has opened up a whole new world for me & introduced me to some pretty awesome people that I hope will remain my friends for a long time to come.
Now there is no way I could afford to buy this for myself any time in the near future. It is just not in the budget. But I want this so that I can do cool videos & pictures of my daughter that I can post here on my bloggy blog, keep for posterity & send to friends & relatives.
Having said that, I have entered and/or blogged about nearly every contest in the blogosphere since I started this blog in September. I have not won any of them. I am, of course very happy for those that did win, they deserved all the amazing prizes. But, oh, I wanted that Bissell vacuum!
So for those of you who do not want to enter this contest for yourselves & are feeling generous, please help me out & do an entry for me {Just say it is on behalf of Shan from Last Shreds Of Sanity}. I will be ever so grateful. Truly.

Rosso Restaurant Interior by SO Architecture
SO Architecture designed the interior for the Rosso Restaurant in Ramat Yishay, a town in the valley of Yezre-el in the Northern part of Israel. The design was influenced and inspired by the geography of the local area. The rolling fields that surround the restaurant are found to be continued in the restaurant's ceiling, which is built of thirty-six steel contoured structures, and covered by painted wood. The chairs and the wide windows are decorated in plant motives to enforce the connection with the surrounding scenery. When night falls, the lighting, which is between the ceiling beams, forms a warm and somewhat mysterious, atmosphere.

@Slartybart: Sorry I confused you. After you have read my file and followed some of the links in the file a lot will make more sense. I am certainly not the only one that has experienced the *.eml FileType arbitrary "timestamp" modification in Windows 7 issue and Microsoft has confirmed that it happens and given a reason for it too.

@Renamo: Yeah, that's quite a book. After reading it, I don't think I'm qualified to help as I think itlies in the Server-Client arena.
EDIT: A quick look in Technet took me here. This is only a reference, not a suggested solution. It certainly sounds similar to the issue you're describing. The HOTfix is quite old, another reason I ask you be be absolutely clear on the versions.Please open a new thread as I previously asked and I'll request help from other members.
Please make sure that all of the versions and names of Servers and clients match. I read the doc and saw
DUNE1 Win7Pro(x64) and JUGASVR W08R2SVRbut when I went back to your post 1362, I saw
"SERVER" = W2kSVRI'm asking so that no one suggests updating software that you already update Win7 to Win7-SP1. I think you recorded the process you tried very well.
When you open a new thread, please indicate the registry changes you've made to which OS. I'll check for a new thread as this is not within the scope of this tutorial.

@Slartybart: Thank you for reading the file.
From my previous research I have concluded that their is little that can be done to any of the MS-OSs (Server and Client) after Vista without compromising some other features of the OS when applying a Registry edit and/or uninstalling WM from Windows 7, to resolve the issue caused by the way the Alternate Data Stream (ADS) is handled since Vista and which is already discussed in depth at:
O by the way, the manor in which ADS is handled since Vista also got rid of some very useful Meta Data Tabs, like "Summary". Reading some of the MS design team blogs and forums showed me that they were very much aware of what they were doing but more or less opted for the easy way out although I am sure they would disagree with me strongly. After this post their really is no need for a new thread.
The TechNet link dose touch a related issue.
As to the "versions and names of Servers and Clients matching" I omitted to mention "JUGASVR" in my previous post when I listed the machines mentioned in my notes, as I had overlooked it when I re-read them. Also, remember that the notes were written for my own use not for uploading and a machine name is all I needed for identification.
To clear this up I do run W08R2SVR-SP1; W08SBS; W7Pro(64bit)-SP1; WXP-Pro-SP3; W2kSVR-SP4+; W2k-Pro-SP4+; W98SE and DOS6.22 on different physical machines or VMs (VMware and MS-VPC04).
Thanks for your time, effort and interest

Here is a screenshot of the effects of ADS on the "modified date". The DIR (Folder) shown on the right was browsed and some of the dates where changed to the current date. The compare was done with a live back up using Beyond Compare ver3.2.4bld13298, an excellent peace of software if you are as freaky and geeky about back ups as I am and with many more features, some of which I have no idea on how to use.

Hi, I have been through over 50 pages of all very good info here, however none of the links for 64bit versions of WinMail or it's associated WinMail Calendar work.
I Have WinMail on a Vista 32 bit desktop now, and I need the 64 bit files to make it work on my newer 64 bit Win7 laptop.
If anyone would have links to 64 bit WinMail and it's Calendar, or could send the files to me, I would be tremendously appreciative!

Windows 7 Ultimate
Win Mail problems
Hi Guys,
Once again, I want to thank you for the newer, simpler way to get Windows Mail back in Windows 7.
However, sometimes some weird things happen, that I can't figure out. I use a window at the top to hold the 4 newest e-mails, so I have about the largest real estate to view the current e-mail. But sometimes the window resets itself to hold 5, or 6, or 7 e-mails. Also, the files column at the left expands to the right by itself, and takes up more of the screen. Then also, sometimes the font size is HUGE on the screen, which means I have to use a horizontal scroll bar to see all the content. Is there something that could be done to fix these problems, or do I have to just live with them? These things happen about half the time. Also, the vertical scroll bar is the only way to scroll down, the scroll wheel doesn't work.
Thanks sincerely for any help,
|My System Specs

Hi Barry,
Could you post a screenshot of what you mean.
I'm trying to understand what 'View' you are using, and picture in my head what you are seeing; I've never had any problems with what you are describing though, and so a screenshot of it would help.
I'm looking through my WinMail Options now to see if there is something you have, like perhaps:
Tools> Options> Read> Automatically Expand Group Messages ..uncheck that, but I'm reaching though here until I can see what you are seeing.
Also in your last sentence, do you mean the scroll wheel on your mouse? ...anyway all scrolling ways work fine on this end and always have.

So C is 9.5 weeks, EBF, and over the past week or so has been slowly rejecting the bottle. She stopped taking it completely yesterday. She had no issues with the bottle when I was hospitalized from 11-14 days postpartum, but I was so put off with EPing while so sick in the hospital that we didn't give her another one until she was 5 weeks. She refused it completely and we slowly worked our way towards her taking it again. It took a little over a week, maybe two, and a few different nipples/bottles but she was finally downing 3.5 to 4 oz at a time using the Lansinoh momma bottles. We were giving her a bottle once a day.
About a week ago she started only taking 2 oz at a time, and refusing the rest from the bottle. We tried to get her to finish but to no avail, and she was still hungry so after a while we gave up and she would finish at the breast. The amount she ate from the bottle slowly decreased and now she seems to be unable to latch to the bottle.
She tries to latch but it's almost like she can't get a good grip? Sometimes she would suck for a while and I'd be sure she ate a couple oz but it would end up being barely anything. She gets so frustrated she gives up after a while. What can I do to get her bottle feeding again? I think latex nipples might help but she hates the shape of the playtex drop ins. Maybe a faster flow nipple so she can get more milk while she still has the patience to deal with the bottle? I'm at a loss here so any help is greatly appreciated!!

Cerego has released new content creation tools for its iKnow social learning platform, adding support for creating learning modules in any of 188 languages. The company has also expanded language support for the text-to-speech technology used in the iKnow platform.
The iKnow platform is a technology aimed at integrating collaboration and learning into Web-based content to aid with the creation of education-focused social communities. As we reported back in October, Cerego has been making moves to open up the iKnow platform, launching a developer portal and partnering with Web services and API management solutions provider Mashery to provide an API offering.
"This is a major step in our vision to create the first global social learning platform, one that allows people to share what they know, and learn what they want to know." said Andrew Smith Lewis, founder and chairman of Cerego. "As the largest online English Language Learning site in Japan, now open to the rest of the world, we look forward to empowering users across multiple languages to come together and create the best content available anywhere."
In addition to the expanded language support, the system has also added the Google Language API to help recommend definitions for elements added to the iKnow item bank.
There are currently about 340,000 registered users on the iKnow platform, according to Cerego. Further information can be found here.

President Serves Sausage and Eggs at Late Night Breakfast
Faculty and Staff Are 'Celebrity Servers' for Semi-Annual Study Break
May 2, 2012
President Jim Reynolds serves breakfast to a hungry student taking a study break from preparing for final exams Tuesday night. In the background are Mark Denniston and Sigrid Solomon, vice presidents for enrollment management and student affairs, respectively.
President Jim Reynolds performed a service for Wilmington College that's likely not in his job description.
He served scrambled eggs, sausage, potatoes, biscuits and gravy to several hundred hungry students that were taking a study break from final exams preparation Tuesday evening (May 1).
The event was the semi-annual Late Night Breakfast sponsored by Sodexo Campus Services, the College's dining services provider.
The breakfast, served from 9 to 11 p.m., has become a special event during the school year and not only provides a meal to fuel a midnight studying frenzy, but serves as one of the final social events on campus for the fall and spring semesters.
Joining Reynolds as "celebrity servers" were WC faculty and staff members Debbie Guindon, Kailyn Books, Sigrid Solomon, Mark Denniston, Art Brooks, Monte Anderson, Kathy Milam, Bud Lewis, Brad Mitchell and Randy Sarvis.

Another Tyson Foods Acquisition in the Works?
by Lance Turner
Posted 1/21/2014 02:34 pm
Updated 11 months ago
Yesterday, our Jan Cottingham reported on Tyson Foods Inc.'s acquisition of Bosco's Pizza Co. of Warren, Mich.
Bosco's, which is not related to the River Market restaurant, makes stuffed breadsticks and frozen pizzas. It serves the food service sector and retail customers throughout the Midwest and some retailers nationwide. Tyson says the deal is perfect for its plan to expand its prepared foods offerings.
Terms of the deal weren't disclosed, but there's no way it comes close to the value of another purchase Reuters reports that the meat processor is considering.
That'd be a $2 billion-plus acquisition of Michael Foods Group Inc., a large distributor of egg and dairy products.
Citing three "people familiar with the matter," Reuters said last week that Tyson is exploring a possible deal with Michael Foods' current owner, a private equity unit belonging to Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
Reuters says Goldman "is in the early stages of finding a buyer," and that it sources cautioned that Tyson might "ultimately choose not to move forward with an offer." Tyson, Michael and Goldman would not comment for the story.
If it turns out to be true, the deal would be among Tyson Food's biggest, but not the biggest. That honor would still belong to the company's 2001 merger with IBP Inc., which weighed in at about $3.2 billion.

Dr. Ferrara is originally from Kent, Ohio. He graduated from the University of Georgia, where he received his Bachelor of Business Administration degree in 1991. He worked in business for one year and returned to UGA to complete pre-dental requirements.
Dr. Ferrara then returned to Ohio to complete his Doctorate in Dental Surgery at The Ohio State University College of Dentistry. He completed an internship in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery at OSU and then moved to Dallas, Texas, to complete this specialty training at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and Parkland Memorial Hospital in 2003. He is Board Certified by the American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery.
Dr. Ferrara returned to Ohio to practice oral surgery with his father Emilio Ferrara. He was awarded the 2006 Fisk Humanitarian award by the Ohio Dental Association for his aide to the victims in the Gulf Coast in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. After three years of practicing with his father and mentor, Dr. Ferrara returned to Georgia. He now lives and practices in the Atlanta area.
Dr. Ferrara practices a full scope of oral surgery and has a special interest in restoring teeth and renewing smiles with dental implant surgery. Dr. Ferrara performs bone grafting procedures and utilizes computer aided implant placement to restore teeth where it was once thought impossible. Dr. Ferrara places more dental implants in one month than many place in one year! Ask how many implants your dentist or surgeon place - experience and knowledge count and can only come from number of implants placed!
Dr. Ferrara met his wife while at The Ohio State University College of Dentistry. She practices general dentistry in Atlanta and they now enjoy their time together with their three boys. Dr. Ferrara enjoys golfing, swimming, running, snow skiing and spending time with his three boy's lacrosse, swimming, baseball, and basketball teams.

If you used to get 7 ounces before, that is a huge amount, much more than average.
However, not getting any from one side can happen, and I can see why it would concern you. Note that it is quite possible to fully nourish a baby from one side only though.
Tips: Save the solids for when you are away from the baby, so you have to pump less for then. Nurse full-time when you are with the baby.
If you rush on solids, and give larger amounts, more than a couple of times a day, then you are in fact signalling to your body that it does not need to make as much milk. This can be reversed, and your supply boosted again by lots of nursing. Also when you are home, you can try to nurse, nurse, nurse. Let solids be just little tastes at this stage if you plan to nurse for longer.

A Merrillville woman who stole more than $175,000 from the town of Merrillville will spend two and a half years in prison.
Virlissa Crenshaw, who pleaded guilty in 2012 to stealing $176,763 from the town and lying on her income tax return, cried as she apologized at her sentencing hearing Monday morning in U.S. District Court in Hammond.
"I'm so sorry," she said repeatedly through her tears.
Crenshaw used her position as a clerk for the Merrillville Town Court to steal the money from bond payments made by defendants who had been arrested on misdemeanor charges, such as driving while intoxicated or battery.
She then stole from other defendants' bond payments to pay back some of those she had stolen from.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Gary Bell argued that Crenshaw should see prison time for a number of reasons, including that her crime took place since at least 2008 until she was caught in 2012.
"This was not a one-time event," he said.
She also had been caught stealing $18,000 of book rental and gym fees from her previous employer, the School City of East Chicago, about 10 years ago, a case that was never charged.
Also, at the time, the town used bond payment receipts to create criminal cases in the court records, many cases were never officially charged because their bonds were never properly recorded. And now, some never will be charged, because statutes of limitation have expired.
Bell also said Crenshaw used the money to gamble.
"You stole from the taxpayers to gamble?" U.S. District Judge James T. Moody asked Crenshaw, appearing shocked.
"Yes sir," she responded.
Her attorney, Jerry Flynn, had argued in a sentencing memorandum that Crenshaw, 43, suffers from numerous serious health problems and that she is one of the unhealthiest people he knows of at her age.
He announced at the hearing that she recently discovered she must undergo a surgery within a few weeks.
He had asked for a sentence of home confinement and probation, but Moody said that was just not enough and instead granted Bell's request for 30 months. He also ordered her to pay $176,763 in restitution to Merrillville.
