The Expert's Guide to Buying Laser Equipment
By: Louis Silberman
Posted: December 31, 2009, from the January 2010 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
More mature clients may prefer fractional laser wrinkle reduction.
page 3 of 3
Cosmetic laser training. Contrary to popular belief, esthetic professionals do not need to have a medical background to become a cosmetic laser specialist in most states. In the United States, each state creates its own guidelines to enter the profession. Due to the growth of the industry, many states are now adding legislation requiring that esthetic professionals complete a certain number of hours of cosmetic laser education in the classroom and clinical setting. (Editor's note: Log on to www.SkinInc.com/education/statelicensing for a list of the 50 state boards along with their complete contact information.)
Whether you are self-employed or a team member at an esthetic facility, client safety is the most important part of providing laser treatments. Due to the sheer power of a cosmetic laser, a technician can burn or scar someone if they have not received proper training from a state-recognized school. Most laser manufacturers will include a half- to full-day training; however, this is not nearly enough time to master using laser equipment effectively. When considering attending a cosmetic laser school, be sure to ask these important questions before attending.
- How long has the school been open?
- How many teachers will I have? What type of professional experience do they have?
- How large are the classes?
- How much time will I get to spend performing hands-on training?
- Is there any additional training I will receive to help me after graduation?
- Does the school train on a variety of brands and models of laser equipment?
Buyer beware. Laser companies will provide clinical studies and testimonials from current owners of their lasers; be sure to spot check the studies to ensure that no one who is on the payroll of the laser company is involved in the studies. One size does not fit all—no laser on the market can perform every treatment perfectly, but some are better than others at certain procedures. No respected clinical studies have shown that lasers can treat blond hair effectively, so be wary if someone tells you their laser can. Cosmetic lasers are dangerous if not handled properly. If someone tells you that their laser could never hurt anyone, then walk away. Buy logically, not emotionally, and take a step back when confronted with bargains. There will always be deals, so think through your purchase before making any decisions.
A smooth transition
The world of laser procedures is a fun and financially rewarding one. By asking the right questions, researching the various types of cosmetic laser equipment and learning how to operate them safely, the transition into providing high-tech laser services will be smooth and easy.

Sports media sucks. In particular, sports talk radio sucks. That isn't a revelation, but with the August 2009 advent of 98.5 FM "The Sports Hub", a second daily sports talk station in Boston (the first being WEEI AM), area sports fans are subjected to double the amount of inane babbling and self-aggrandizement about sports (which, in the end, mean nothing). Aside from The Sports Hub's Toucher and Rich, who are clever and imaginative rock radio DJ's who had a successful gig at WBCN before it switched formats to a sports station, basically everyone on sports talk radio in the city of Boston makes me want to drive my car into a tree. Every time I listen I hear the same stupid bullshit from the same morons. Here are the things I dislike the most about sports talk radio, in no particular order:
- The use of "Again", "Look", and "Listen!" by the hosts.
I swear every third sentence begins with one of these three words. Sports talk radio hosts, trust me: it doesn't make your points any more salient and it doesn't make you sound more authoritative when you say these words. Here's an example of how ridiculous it sounds.
"Again, I think the Red Sox would be better off trying to trade Josh Beckett to the Angels. I mean, look, they have a great lineup, but you need pitching to win in this league. Listen, Beckett gets a change of scenery, maybe he gets it together, and if you can pry a Trout or a Trumbo away from them, I feel like you have to make that deal."
(Sports talk radio hosts also say "an Ortiz" or "a Garnett" or "a whoever" an awful lot.)
Usually, when the host starts one of his tirades with "Again", he hasn't even made the point he's supposedly reiterating in the first place. And who are they talking to? The evening hosts on both stations have solo shows, so they're firing off ridiculous sports soliloquies with endless "look"s and "again"s to an audience that isn't present to argue with them (except for callers, who we'll discuss shortly). It's just a really weird crutch that they think makes their point stronger or more legitimate. It doesn't.
- The self-seriousness of the hosts.
I'd like every sports radio host to remember that in the end, you're a shitty sports radio host. You go on the air and get paid to babble on for four or five hours about fucking sports. Stop taking it so seriously, and stop taking yourselves so seriously.
A recent phenomenon has been the sports talk "comedian", who does bits and cracks jokes throughout the show. I don't mind a host trying to create a niche for himself and trying to gain an audience. It just seems like the bits and the jokes are always painfully lame, and the host and the producer and the interns and everyone else crack up on the air, trying desperately to sell what they're doing. Stop trying so hard. Stop laughing at your own jokes and trying to create your own dumb memes, and stop doing callbacks to your own dumb memes that no one understands because they had the sense to tune them out in the first place. Comedians need timing and material. If you have neither, recognize that and talk about sports.
Also, we have a wave of ex-athletes on the radio and on TV now. Most have acquitted themselves decently well on television (with the notable exceptions of Emmitt Smith and "Fuckface" Mark Schlereth). Some have done well on radio also. Here's the thing. Fans are much more likely to listen to a noteworthy and unquestionably successful player than a mediocre one, even though both played the game. Boomer Esiason has a popular radio show. He's also a four-time Pro Bowler and he won an MVP award. He commands respect. Scott Zolak, midday co-host on 98.5, was a shitty backup quarterback for a few years. He doesn't.
Zolak played professional football. I know he was really, really good at it at one point. He also knows more about football than I and probably all of the listening audience ever will. You'd think that he'd be able to take that knowledge and we'd get a decent radio show where we might learn a couple of things and he might have some interesting thoughts on the game. Instead, he puts on this weird tough-guy broseph façade and yells at everyone the whole show. It's awful. I feel like the loudmouth party guy blowhard is his self-created shtick to carve out an audience for himself on the radio, which is a shame, because otherwise we might have gotten something thoughtful. To the vast majority of ex-athlete radio show hosts: you weren't very good. Stop taking yourselves so seriously and please stop yelling.
- The propensity of the hosts to say stupid things.
Radio hosts will say anything if they think they'll get one more rating point out of it. Yes, this is indeed shocking, but I'd hope there's some room for reasoned analysis. Hosts either fan the flames of public opinion and try to spark more conversation by agreeing with the prevailing idiotic line of thinking, or they'll purposely troll the listeners and say outlandish things to trigger discussion that way.
Recently, Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz was diagnosed with esophagitis. We really didn't know why, though the early line of thinking was that this was caused by taking too much Advil or aspirin. Of course, the radio shows went into a frenzy. Why was he taking so many pills? Was he abusing them? Does he have an alcohol problem and he was taking them for hangovers? After all, he was in that "I Like Beer" video and he hangs out with Lackey, Lester and Beckett!
Buchholz gets treated for his mild condition, is released from the hospital, and then attends a charity event that I'm sure he had already committed to. At Foxwoods (GASP!) Sponsored by Stoli vodka (ZOMG!) The sports media had a god damn field day. 98.5 evening show host Damon Amendolara (whom I generally like) said, and I'm paraphrasing, "You don't think he would go to an event like that and not drink, right?" Well, yeah, I do. I'd like to think he's not a complete fucking idiot, I don't think you have to drink just because the sponsor is a vodka company, I wouldn't assume he'd be eating Whoppers all night if the sponsor was Burger King, and I don't think he's evil. It's just insulting to the listener. Be rational, even if others aren't.
There's also no accountability for anything the hosts say. If they make a prediction and it comes true, they're geniuses and won't hesitate to gloat about it for hours on end. If they're wrong, it's never mentioned, listeners who call him on it are cut off, or he claims he was "misheard" or "never said that". Christ, it's sports, not politics. I'd love a radio station or TV network (hell, I'd settle for one show) devoted to measured analysis and discussion of sports and not bombastic jackassery.
- The burying of teams by stations that don't carry their games.
The Red Sox are awful right now, but it's not something we're delighting in. It sucks. We like the Red Sox. So when 98.5 tells you in every segment just how horrid they are and shits on every single thing they do (even starting before last year's September collapse), it's annoying. It's also transparent. They don't have radio rights to the Red Sox and their competitors do, so they bury them as much as they can.
WEEI does the same thing to the Bruins. Listen (oh no, I'm doing it now too), we like all of the teams. We don't give a shit what radio station they're on. Take them to task when they falter, but don't do a jig about it.
- 98% of the callers are pea-brained half-wits.
By definition, people who call into these shows are dipshits. But sometimes, they're colossal fucking morons. It's hard to believe this, but the callers make these shows worse. Here's your stereotypical caller:
Thick Boston accent, which often sounds a little artificial and showy; argument for the stupidest possible trade or roster move; facts generally wrong or missing some vital piece of information that renders entire point useless; usually parroting whatever the host said, the most recent newspaper hatchet piece on a player, or most recent public opinion; no original thought; ends with "I'll hang up and let you guys talk" (gee, thanks).
Sometimes a caller offering up a ridiculous notion only to have it buried by the host is great sport, but usually it's just grating. Perform better vetting. Call screeners: If you hear that thick accent or they're not articulating their points well, hang up! Let's raise the discourse!

Hurricane Sandy, whose wrath has yet to touch ground on the eastern seaboard, is already tying up air travel across the country, causing flight cancellations at all three Bay Area airports Monday as experts warned the tie-ups could continue throughout much of the week.
More than 7,000 flights in the United States were canceled on Monday, according to Flightstats.com, a Web site devoted to on-time performance of airlines and airports around the world.
"From Boston to Norfolk (Virginia), nothing is moving," said Joe Brancatelli, who operates JoeSentMe.com, a website for business travelers. He estimates some 700,000 travelers could be facing flight cancellations or severe delays.
"This started yesterday afternoon," Brancatelli said Monday. "American Airlines has already said they aren't moving anything tomorrow on the East Coast."
Affected airports include JFK International Airport in New York, Newark Liberty International Airport, Baltimore Washington International Airport, Reagan National and Dulles International airports in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia International Airport and Logan International Airport in Boston.
On Monday, Mineta San Jose International Airport reported JetBlue flights to Boston and New York City have been canceled, while Oakland International Airport said JetBlue flights to New York City and Washington D.C. have been canceled. San Francisco International Airport said 150 East Coast flights -- inbound and outbound -- have been grounded.
Furthermore, scores of other East Coast-bound passengers leaving the Bay Area with connecting flights in other cities were apt to be stranded midway to their destination, airport officials said. They urged passengers to check airline Web sites for up-to-date info on flights.
"We are seeing some cancellations tomorrow," said SFO acting spokesman Doug Yakel. "Airlines want to be back to normal as soon as they can, but because the storm hasn't hit shore yet, it's hard for them to know when they can return to a normal flight schedule."
Problems could last after the hurricane, which is hitting the East Coast with historic intensity, passes. It could take days for airlines to return to their regular schedules, experts say.

Mental health disorders, which profoundly disrupt a person's thinking, feeling, moods, ability to relate to others, and capacity for coping with the demands of life, are common throughout the world. Some mental illnesses are severe enough to require treatment as they create problems that prevent those living with mental illness from enjoying their lives.
Even though treatments for mental illnesses today are effective, there are still people with diagnosable mental disorders that do not seek treatment. Stigma surrounding mental health treatment and cost are among the barriers that discourage people from obtaining care.
If individuals with a mental disorder get the treatment they need, especially if it is early, many will fully recover from their disorder or be able to successfully control their symptoms. Below is an overview of mental health services and treatment options available to help you or someone you know with a mental health disorder take action.
Although mental health disorders can be debilitating, there is hope for those who suffer from them. First, it is important to be able to recognize symptoms of mental illness. Some common and disabling manifestations to look out for are:
If you think you might need help, particularly if your feelings and experiences are overwhelming, there are a number of places you can turn to and things you can do to ease the situation.
For information about resources available in your community, a good place to start is The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Mental Health Services Locator, which allows you to find what is available in your state. In addition, you might want to contact your local mental health center. The National Council for Community Behavioral Health Care can help you locate a community mental health center in your area. You can also try an affiliate of a national self-help organization, such as the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill or the National Empowerment Center, which will tell you about services designed to meet your specific needs.
Mental illnesses can affect persons of any age, race, religion, or income. They are not caused by weakness, lack of character, or poor upbringing. And yet, stigmatization of people with mental disorders persists. Do not let this stop you from seeking the care you need. The consequences for people with a mental health disorder who fail to obtain treatment include disability, unemployment, substance abuse, homelessness, inappropriate incarceration, or suicide. The sooner you get help, the sooner you will feel better.
Many mental health conditions can be effectively treated with one or a combination of the therapies listed below.
Psychotherapy, known as talk therapy, is a learning process in which mental health professionals help individuals who have mental health disorders through the exchange of verbal communication. Some types of psychotherapy are:
Medications used to treat mental health disorders include:
If you need pharmacologic therapy, your doctor will be able to determine which type of medication is right for you. In some severe cases, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) may be used.
There are many options for payment of mental health services and treatments.
Health plans vary in terms of what they cover. Find out what treatments and services your plan covers or shop around if you are in the process of selecting a plan. If you are not satisfied with your mental health benefits, consider talking to your employee benefits manager or union representative to try to improve your coverage.
There are several resources available to people who do not have health insurance:
If you feel something is wrong, do not hesitate to ask for help. It may not be easy, but it will be worth it. Chances are, with the right treatments and services, you will be able to control your mental health disorder.

My friend just started a group and I am helping her get it set up and running.
Hi Jared. Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of activity on this page. Hopefully we can get it going again.
Hello all. I'm new to PaganSpace. First thing, though, I'd like to invite all of you to the 2014 Oklahoma Beltane Festival. www.oklahomabeltane.com
So, it looks like this is a fairly slow group. I am a long time user of the arcane arts and would like to meet others in the area.
Hello All,
My husband and I are wondering if anyone would be interested in a female pug? We are looking to rehome our two year old female pug. We adopted her from the Midwest City shelter five months ago and she needs more attention and work than we can give her. Plus it isn't fair to our other dog who is getting ignored. So we are opting to rehome her instead of returning her to the shelter because we know she would be labeled a "problem dog" and put down.
greetings and merry meet
Long time Wiccan from the Eastern edge of the state, little town of Spiro, near Ft. Smith AR.
I'm from a little known tradition, which formed as an offshoot of the Calmut temple of the Pagan way in Chicago long ago. Basically a mix of Pagan Way, basic Kabbalah, and Brit Gardnerian by way of the HPS lineage. The original coven taught my teachers, I've long referred to it "quite affectionately" as the bastard grandchild of Gardnerian.
Been in the craft first as an eclectic then as a formal initiate since 1981. Been a Wiccan/Pagan anti discrimination activist since 1994. Former Oklahoma state director Pagan Awareness League and Pagans in Action Council for Truth, and was an active member for Witches Against Religious Discrimination for many years, all now defunct. Last I checked I'm still listed as a contact for Sacred Earth Alliance and Earth Religions Legal Assistance Network. Love Pagan festivals for vacations, miss the OK Beltane fest we used to have.
Nice to meet you all,
MM and May the hands of the Lady and Lord be upon you all.
Ada, OK here. Looking to learn and meet other Pagans in my area.
I am looking for a group in OKC. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Hi Hi from Tulsa! ^.^

Is there any homebrew or variants that other fans have come up with to get in a 6th player?
That 6th Player...
Posted 08 August 2010 - 04:08 PM
Posted 06 July 2011 - 06:06 PM
Here is my idea for the Usurper 6th-player variant. I have not yet had a chance to test it, so please respond with your feedback to let me know what works well about it and what does not...
A new governor has joined the fold, and now there is unrest and distrust throughout the king's land. As governors vie for influence of the king's advisors, no one can trust that his newfound ally in the king's court will not be led away by another governor's guile. As a result, each governor must be cautious when approaching one of the king's advisors, or else he may find himself without the rewards to which he thought himself entitled.
Once a governor has revealed himself to be untrustworthy, the remaining governors become much more careful about ensuring that their own political intrigue will not go without reward. This governor's soldiers repay his cowardly act with an appropriate response of their own, by joining the victimized governor's army instead, thus increasing that chances that the disloyal governor may not be able to defend the king's land during the looming winter battle.
With the addition of the Usurper, a sixth player can now join a game of Kingsburg without overcrowding the game board with dice. The Usurper has the ability to effectively steal another player's reward from one of the king's advisors. This is done by replacing another player's die or group of dice with dice totaling that of the advisor in question. This ability can be used by any player in any productive season, but it can only be used once each season. Use any group of matching dice for the 6th player, most likely from another board game, making sure that the dice are easily distinguishable from other players' dice. These dice are used exactly the same as anyone else's dice. Also, make a copy of a building sheet and use whatever supplies necessary as a means of marking what buildings have been purchased for that player, since only 5 building sheets are provided with the game. Be creative.
--Any player can choose to reveal himself as the Usurper in each productive season.
--A player removes an opponent's die or dice and places his own die or group of dice equaling the advisor's value (cannot be combined with the Market).
--If one die or a group of two dice was replaced, no matter how many dice the Usurper used, then the victim gains 1 soldier and the Usurper loses 1 soldier. If no soldier is available, then the Usurper loses one VP instead, but the victim still receives 1 soldier.
--If three or more dice were replaced, no matter how many dice the Usurper used, then the victim gains 1 soldier and 1 VP and the Usurper loses 1 soldier and 1 VP. If no soldier is available, then the Usurper loses 2 VP's instead, but the victim still gains 1 soldier and 1 VP.
--Only one Usurper can be revealed per productive season.
--Once the Usurper is revealed, that player cannot influence any other advisor during that season.
--The Usurper cannot be revealed in first round of influencing unless a player is replacing two or more of an opponent's dice.
--A player can replace a single die with two or more of dice that equal the same number (e.g., two 3's replacing a 6) or vice versa.
--If the king's envoy has been used to double-influence, then the Usurper chooses which player's die or group of dice is removed.
--The Usurper can use a +2 token if combined with one or more colored dice.
--The Usurper cannot use white dice, but a player can place white dice along with colored dice before revealing himself as the Usurper.
--If no Usurper was revealed during the productive season, then the lowest ranking player, as determined by that season's dice roll, gains 1 soldier.
Let me know what you guys think!!
Posted 24 January 2012 - 09:41 AM
I prefer the KISS method (KISS = "Keep It Simple Stupid")
Allow the sixth player to roll dice just like the other five. The only rule variant is this: (A very simple rule change to follow and understand)
This time, the player who goes last (the one who rolled the highest and is sixth in turn order) is the envy of all governers and has the attention of the advisors...
in this mode, the sixth player is just like any other player and EVERY player is eligible for the "envy bonus". The player who receives this "envy" bonus is decided based on the dice roll and the player who rolls the highest is rewarded for doing so.
This sixth player gets to double up on any advisor he chooses as often as he chooses. In other words, he is not restricted on which advisor he/she uses. It is a reward for going last and rolling the highest (and being the envy of others). This simple rule variant will keep the dice/advisor clutter to a minimum. I have playtested this and there really are very few glitches with this. It is no less troublesome than 5 players in terms of advisor collision.

Florida Department of Transportation officials said they are planning to remove 41 new mailboxes this week that they just installed Friday, May 29 on Longboat Key.
"The decision was made based on the community's concerns and inquiries," said Darren Alfonso, public information officer for the state's Gulf of Mexico Drive repaving project.
Town Manager Bruce St. Denis and Public Works Director Juan Florensa also made inquiries to the department of transportation, asking for leniency.
On Friday, May 29, a state-hired contractor placed 41 new mailboxes at residences along Gulf of Mexico
Drive, because the existing ones were deemed either unsafe or non-compliant with regard to setback requirements for placement on a state highway.
Alfonso said certified letters were mailed to the affected homeowners Friday, June 5 and most letters were received Saturday, June 6. He said FDOT has waited to remove the mailboxes, because it wants to give homeowners time to decide whether or not they want to keep the new mailboxes.
Former Longboat Key Mayor Jeremy Whatmough, who urged town officials to look into the matter at a Town Commission regular meeting Monday, June 1, was happy to hear the news.
"The department of transportation did the right thing," Whatmough said.

I try to ignore it..and the bugs. Let my roses fight it out for themselves and it is working. I know it is not a well known rose..but my Octavia Hill Rose is in the shade and I am in the shade in the PNW and her leaves are glossy and green. Less chemicals is the answer. |

By C.J. Chivers
X-Rays by Nick Veasey
An account of the M16's ascension from jet-age curio to standard American firearm could start in many places, but the velocity began with the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy in 1961. Kennedy brought with him McNamara as secretary of defense. McNamara was a graduate of Harvard Business School, a former executive at Ford, and a believer in an approach to decision making called "systems analysis," which centered on intensive study of problems and options, with examinations of costs, benefits, and risks of potential decisions. McNamara and his followers saw themselves as a rarefied pool of talent, and they merged aggressive management style with a Kennedy mandate to look past nuclear war and develop the doctrine, organization, and equipment for flexible responses to conflicts overseas. This meant limited war, which further meant countering the Eastern bloc in proxy fights. Several of McNamara's officials turned their attention to the question of the rifle.
The rifle conundrum was significant. America's military machine had entered the nuclear age with an array of fearsome killing tools. The Air Force had supersonic jets and intercontinental missiles; the Army was fielding new battle tanks to enhance divisions that had settled into Europe; the Navy had launched a nuclear aircraft carrier. Yet when it came to the most basic tool of empire and of war the infantry rifle the Pentagon had sputtered and stalled. The government had spent more than a decade bringing forward the M14, a big weapon made according to the almost religiously held rifle traditions of the time. The M14 was a heavyweight and hewed closely to the legends of American frontier marksmen with eagle eyes and far-shooting, powerful rifles. Its automatic-fire version weighed more than twelve pounds, stretched almost four feet long, and had both tremendous recoil and heavy ammunition, which meant soldiers could carry a limited amount of rounds. The Army spent huge sums on its development, only to discover that soldiers equipped with M14's were outmaneuvered and outshot by opponents with AK-47's, which were almost perfectly suited to the short-range fighting in the vegetation of Vietnam. America's ordnance officials had lost the arms race of their lives. Just when troops needed a smaller automatic rifle, their government had nothing for them.
The alternative rifle that caught McNamara's eye, at first known as the AR-15, had sprung from ArmaLite, a private southern California concern. ArmaLite was an infant and an upstart, a company that began as a workshop in the Hollywood garage of George Sullivan, the patent counsel for Lockheed Aircraft Corporation. Sullivan was an engineer fascinated with the possibilities of applying new materials to change the way rifles looked and felt. In 1953, he met Paul Cleaveland, secretary of the Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation, at an industry luncheon. The pair talked about lightweight firearms and new ways to manufacture them. Cleaveland mentioned the conversation to Richard Boutelle, Fairchild's president, who was a gun buff, too. Boutelle and Sullivan agreed to collaborate, and ArmaLite was founded in 1954 as a tiny Fairchild division. It hired a former Marine, Eugene Stoner, as a designer.
One of the early creations was the AR-15, made at the informal request of an Army general who wanted a prototype rifle that would fire a small, high-speed round. The AR-15 looked like nothing else in military service. It had an aluminum receiver, plastic furniture, and an odd-looking carrying handle. It was thirty-nine inches long. It weighed, when unloaded, roughly 6.5 pounds, about half the weight of an automatic M14. Its appearance small, dark, lean, and synthetically futuristic stirred emotions. To its champions, the AR-15 was an embodiment of fresh thinking. Critics saw an ugly toy. Wherever one stood, no one denied the ballistics were intriguing. Stoner had designed a narrow but powerful new cartridge, the .223, for his weapon. The cartridge's propellant and the AR-15's twenty-inch barrel worked together to move a tiny bullet along at ultrafast speeds in excess of thirty-two hundred feet per second, almost three times the speed of sound. Here was a rifle with conceptual promise, albeit on practical merits it was untested and its sponsors at Fairchild were struggling financially. In January 1959, with few customers in sight and the Pentagon committed to big rifles made according to old ideas, Fairchild transferred the AR-15's manufacturing rights to Colt's Firearms for $325,000 and a royalty-sharing guarantee.
In summer 1960, Colt's took the AR-15 on the road, including to police departments around the United States, where its sales team fired into a variety of objects (automobiles and water cans were favorites) and engaged in giddy declarations of the rifle's powers. While automobiles were being pierced, punctured, and shredded, another salesman arranged for General Curtis LeMay, then the Air Force's vice chief of staff, to be invited to Boutelle's birthday party at Boutelle's gentleman's farm in Maryland. LeMay, like Boutelle, was a gun buff. The invitation was crafted to appeal. A sample AR-15, the new miracle gun, would be on hand for the general to fire. The party was held over the Fourth of July. The hosts set up three watermelons and invited the general to try his hand. What followed was one of the odder moments in arms-procurement history. Watermelons were bright and fleshy in ways water cans were not, and when struck by the little rifle's ultrafast bullets, the first two fruits exploded in vivid red splashes. LeMay was so impressed that he spared the last melon; the party decided to eat it. No doubt this was great fun. It was also nonsense. But salesmanship was salesmanship. Colt's salesman understood that the Air Force wanted its own automatic rifle for defending strategic-missile sites. He also knew that LeMay was unimpressed with the M14. Colt's, for the price of fresh fruit and cold cocktails, had a convert. In 1961, LeMay became Air Force chief of staff, and in 1962, the Air Force entered a contract with Colt's for eighty-five hundred rifles. This was a small order. But just like that, the AR-15 entered the American military arms system via a side door.
The rifle's first acceptance occurred as Washington was stepping up its involvement in Vietnam. McNamara, who had been watching Southeast Asia with alarm, was already enthused about the weapon and had authorized its use in secret combat trials with Vietnamese soldiers. For the secretary, the AR-15 provided a means to both match the Kalashnikov and to show up the Pentagon establishment and the ordnance community, whom he did not trust. Colt's new rifle had momentum.
It is worth a pause to consider the significance of the step not taken.
After McNamara's team endorsed the assault-rifle concept, the United States military could have decided what it wanted an assault rifle to be and to do. This would have been a matter of proposing specifications for caliber, muzzle velocity, weight, accuracy, and any number of other characteristics. These specifications could then have been provided to government designers and private industry to Ruger, to Colt's, to Remington, to Winchester, to Browning, to Cadillac Gage, and others with a deadline for design submissions. In doing so, the intellectual capital of the private sector would have been invited to compete. And when the deadline came, the Pentagon would have had multiple designs from which to select. Instead, the United States had a hyped rifle rising through the bureaucracy with little testing or vigorous competition. Its selection process looked less like deliberation than lunging. And as McNamara and General William Westmoreland pushed and pulled the rifle along, the signs from tests and field reports of its emerging weaknesses were suppressed. Colt's assault rifle, the internal reports said, was vulnerable to corrosion and given to malfunctions. No matter. The most senior military officials knew American troops were being outshot. They ordered the M16 as the military's version of the AR-15 was named first in a batch of 104,000, and then as the standard firearm for the war. The rollout began.

Hi, I am new to this house, and in the back wood area there is a HUGE bush of wild rose. I don't know if they are technically rose, but they have rose features (the flowers buds and leaves are similar, and more importantly, they are THORNY!
The problem is that they are too close too the area where children play, so I cut a lot of branches. I plan to continue to cut them all off. But I also read that the more you prune a rose, the more vigorous it will grow. So how can I completely eliminated it (actually them as there are BIG separate bushes). It this post doesn't belong here, I would appreciate you telling me where it should go. Thanks! |

Just go buy a bottle of brush killer and spray the whole bush with it. I finally killed a patch of blackberries with Bayer brush killer last year. The bush looks fine for a couple of days and then a little sick. In three weeks it will be nothing more than a clump of dried twigs. What you have there is certainly a wild species rose and if you like the looks but not the size it can be controlled with good pruning. I have found with my kids as well as the neighbor kids that they tend to stay out of roses after getting pricked once. Lance |
Just keep chopping away at it & protect yourself from the thorns. When you eventually get to the stubs, wet the soil & go at it with a shovel & fork. You'll have to check next spring for regrowing stems. There is no easy fix. Look on it as an ongoing process. Multiflora is very hard to get rid of. Good luck. |
The first time you prune a rose like that if you leave it alone afterwards there will indeed be a vigorous new flush of growth as the bush tries to reestablish itself. This is where you need to be persistent. lydia s is right. If you keep at it you will get rid of it all, but you will need to be persistent. It will be easier to deal with once you've removed the original crown of the shrub. Then you will have to watch for new shoots coming up from the roots, but as you keep at it they will also abate. Just remind yourself not to plant spearmint in the ground. It's worse! :-) |
There are entire sections of websites devoted to methods of killing rosa multiflora. It's not easy. We pulled ours out of the ground with a pickup truck. Seriously. After that I diligently sprayed every shoot that magically appeared. I know a farmer who swears by the log-splitter method (driven down into the base of the plant). |
is it really the children you are worried about or yourself? I would say more harm could come from the trees, when they fall out and brake their limbs. The children will remember if they get stuck just once, whereas an adult will keep getting stuck and want to destroy the thing that bit them! |
- Posted by socks12345 Zone 9 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 8, 08 at 10:10
Consider what Paparoseman said. You can keep it under control, and the kids will know they can get stuck if they go in the bush. That said, I ridded our property of a wild rose which was growing up inside some lilacs and spreading just everywhere. I dug down and got roots anywhere it popped up, even little sprigs. Nothing was too small for my attention. I worked on it periodically spring and summer over two years, and finally it was gone. Slow and steady wins the race. LOL! |
- Posted by rose_nutty z4b (My Page) on Sun, Jun 8, 08 at 11:06
I have never tried to get rid of wild roses, but this method works wonders on mulberry trees that usually just sprout new sprouts when cut. After I cut it off at the ground, I dribble full-strength Roundup on the freshly-cut stump. Quick, easy, inexpensive because you use very little of the chemical. You might have to do it more than once with wild roses - like I said I never have tried to kill them. |

I was told that a can of motor oil will kill anything. Sorry, but not good for the soil, and illegal in many areas. |
Yes, motor oil will kill just about everything, and that's why it's very often (usually?) illegal to dump it on the ground like that. Don't use motor oil to do that. |
- Posted by snowling888 Zone6 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 8, 08 at 16:59
Buy an plane ticket and send it to me. I KILL EVERYTHING!!! How about Roundup? |
Mix up approx. 1 gal of round up in a old bucket.place the ends of a branch or two in the solution.your problems will be solved in a few days.make sure you stash the solution away from curious kids and pets.the bush will absorb the roundup down to its roots,and it will soon be history or compost. willync7 |
Fall in love with it and it will die. Actually it took me several years to kill one. I pruned it to the ground and dug it up. It came back every year. I finally had to use gasoline on it. John |

I have rid my yard of blackberry bushes, I think they are related with cutting them to the ground and painting them with round up brush killer. It only took one or twice and they were gone but small ones back the next year and I simply repeated the process. Karyn |
- Posted by davemichigan z 5/6 (SE Michigan) (My Page) on Mon, Jun 9, 08 at 17:55
Thanks for all the suggestions! I have cut a lot of them back. Tomorrow I am going to dig the stump out. I didn't know Roundup works like that, that it goes into the live part of the plants and get into their system. I will try Roundup too when they come back. (The children that I am concerned with are not my children. There are / will be children from my Church, so they will not be familiar with the rose in that area. It would be bad if each one had to be bitten at least once). |
- Posted by williamcartwright Z10 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 9, 08 at 19:14
I'd rather have children playing around wild roses than in an area contaminated with herbicides. Using Roundup in a play-area is simply a terrible idea in my opinion, and presents a much greater health risk than getting pricked by a thorn. You might want to rethink this. Bill |
- Posted by katefisher Z7_NorthernCA (My Page) on Mon, Jun 9, 08 at 20:43
I don't know how applicable this is to your situation but instead of Round Up we use vinegar to kill weeds. On the sidewalk and in areas where there is landscape rock etc., It works great. Might be interesting to pour a bottle of vinegar around the roots and see what happens. Kate |
Vinegar will temporarily acidify the soil in the immediate vicinity, but that will later wear off (months or years later, depending on how rainy & warm the climate is). It might work. |
- Posted by katefisher Z7_NorthernCA (My Page) on Mon, Jun 9, 08 at 21:36
I like it a lot as a weed killer (you can also add salt and some dish soap if desired). It stinks only briefly and does not hurt my cats who are into positively everything in the garden. Kate |
I'm currently waging war on all the multiflora on our property. Phase 1: Cut it out with a brush cutter. Phase 2: Dig out the root if it's small enough. Phase 3: Check back and dig out anything else that appears. Phase 4: Repeat Phases 1-3 as the plant gets successively smaller. Phase 5: Test the pH and add hydrated lime as necessary. I've been doing this for 6-8 months and the smaller bushes have disappeared. The huge growths take longer to eradicate. On my property the multiflora laughs at brush killer and at round-up. I will try white vinegar and see what that does -- I know it works on morning glory and thistle... Wish me luck! I have promised myself a rose garden when all the multiflora is gone.... |
- Posted by davemichigan z 5/6 (SE Michigan) (My Page) on Tue, Jun 10, 08 at 11:29
ok, chop chop chop, chop chop chop. I felt powerful and a little evil. I do see some success although I think the multiflora will laugh at me next year (or maybe sooner). But it is not too bad. After two days of treatment, it is almost gone from SIGHT. I know it will come back, but we have to handle weeds every year anyway, so if it means I need to cut them 2 or 3 times each year, that sounds ok with me. With some weeds, I read that if you continue to cut them off when they just come out, eventually the root will be depleted of food and die. I don't know if that is going to be the same with multiflora. I certainly hope so. |

We have so much condensation with the interior of the sashes of our high end Marvin windows that I'm sure the wood will rot if I don't wipe them daily. It is mostly the upper sashes, with one exception, and is present on almost every window in our house (and we have a ton of windows). How much us normal and what do I do? Thanks |

What is your interior humidity level? |
- Posted by millworkman (email@example.com) on Sun, Nov 24, 13 at 13:10
More often than not you house has too much humidity inside and the windows re were it shows up. As Jerry asked what is the humidity inside your home? |
- Posted by threeapples (My Page) on Sun, Nov 24, 13 at 13:41
45%. We were told to keep it at this level so woodwork doesn't crack. |
We usually keep it below 30 in the cold part of the winter and move it up in the spring to about that level. |
To be fair, interior condensation is usually the result of high levels of humidity on the inside of your home. Inefficient windows will make it worse dont get me wrong. |
- Posted by amber_windows (My Page) on Sun, Nov 24, 13 at 20:05
Actually, windows that are doing their job will make the issue more visible to you by collecting that excess moisture to the surface of the glass. Almost like a magnet. That is what you are seeing. |
Water condenses on the windows when the temperature of the glass drops below the dew point of the air. If you look at the owners manual of your humidifier, it will state recommended settings vs outside temperature. The chart shows typical settings. Keep in mind also that digital controls on humidifiers can vary by as much as +/- 10%. |
You really should not have to keep your rh below 45% with new windows. If you still experience problems, you either have a poor installation that keeps the product from operating optimally, or you chose a product that does not offer very good thermal performance. That latter opinion may not be popular and I have to agree that Marvin generally makes a nice piece, but there are thermally superior choices available with better condensation resistance ratings. Most wood windows leak air like a sieve, so that would be a contributing factor as well. |
- Posted by amber_windows (My Page) on Mon, Nov 25, 13 at 4:03
I would encourage you to read published material regarding condensation that cover the industries stance on the issue and not just Marvin`s. Try GANA, glass.org, or BBB. They will explain interior air flow in the home and other contributing factors. |
- Posted by windowsonwashington (My Page) on Mon, Nov 25, 13 at 7:03
+1 to the other suggestions here. I would reduce my rH levels to start with. Next, have the windows checked for properness of installation and look for misalignment at the meeting rail and weatherstripping interfaces. If the windows are hung right, you can get excess leakage at those areas and get condensation, regardless of the efficiency of the glass/frame/etc., if you have outside air infiltration. Lastly, make sure the blinds, drapes, and window coverings at the window are open and allowing air to circulate at the window. |
- Posted by threeapples (My Page) on Mon, Nov 25, 13 at 8:11
Thanks for all the good advice. We had a senior Marvin rep here last week and went through each window. If there were any issues he would have caught them. I'll read up on the literature and bring this up to my builder. Thanks. |
High humidity in the house can lead to other problems that will not be as apparent as what you see on the windows. You will have moisture that makes it past your vapor barriers your exterior walls and condense on the interior side of your wall sheathing. Keeping the RH lower reduces this. I have a LOT of wood in our house. As the seasons change you can hear it pop. I keep the RH set at 35%, we are in Georgia so the exterior temperature is rarely cold enough to cause condensation. The accuracy of the controls on your humidifier should not be overestimated. Most people laugh at this, but the only way to really check the dew point and Relative humidity is using this method: In a small light weight thin walled container, (preferably metal like a mixing bowl) filled with water, add ice while stirring with a thermometer. The instant water forms on the outside of the container, note the temperature on the thermometer. This is your dew point. Then use the attached chart to determine Relative Humidity (assuming you are fairly close to sea level), you can then check this against your humidifier control. You can also use Sling psychrometers, but they are not that accurate, battery powered psychrometers are ok and old fashioned calibrated camel hair analogue gauges are good if you can find one. |
- Posted by windowinsulators (My Page) on Wed, Nov 27, 13 at 23:57
I would to offer a solution to your dilemma. If you try www.windowinsulators.ca you will see the answer. A rh of 45 % is a GOOD THING !!!! An acrylic window add on to your present window will fix everything. We test the acrylics to minus 75 F with dry ice and achieve an R 6.5 . Bear in mind the best 3 pane windows with dual 1 / 2 inch spacers and low E with argon and krypton gas. Contact us and we can ask you some questions about your interior environment to give you the best path to follow 1 807 627 4631 |
- Posted by windowsonwashington (My Page) on Thu, Nov 28, 13 at 9:44
I am sorry sir, but that is incorrect. As a previous poster mentioned, regardless of the condensation potential on the windows at the higher rH levels, too much humidity can create a host of other issues in the home beyond the visible demonstration of the the windows sweating. Nothing about an interior storm does anything to address that either. Many interior storms that I see also exacerbate the issue by limiting the drying and air circulation at the window surface. Your advice is flawed on so many different levels that I felt it needed address. Happy Thanksgiving. |
+1 WoW and a Happy Thanksgiving to all!! |
- Posted by windowinsulators (My Page) on Thu, Nov 28, 13 at 11:20
Windowsonwashington , I know that you are basing your comment about interior storm windows on the what you have seen . What we propose is something you have not seen. A PROPER install of these will magnetically seal 100 % of the inside damp air from touching the cold glass. no air = no sweating |
- Posted by windowsonwashington (My Page) on Thu, Nov 28, 13 at 13:28
windows, I know exactly what you are proposing and the fact of the matter is they do not work in this case and your recommendations of 45% rH is completely incorrect as well unless you want the client to rot their house from the inside out in a colder area of the country. Humidity and interior moisture is one of the bigger issues out there in a cold climate and magnetically attached interior panels are not what most people determine to be aesthetically pleasing or even and option. Your claims or R-Value are completely inaccurate as well. It is safe to assume that a double pane wood window with Low-e/argon is going to be about a U-Factor of 0.30 or R-Value of 3.33. Are you trying to tell me that adding an acrylic panel, even perfectly sealed, is going to nearly double that number? When a trapped air space (completely static) is R-1.0, you are telling me that a layer of acrylic with no coating on it adds R-2.5? I am sorry but that is not going to happen and you can claim whatever you want to in this case but science and facts do not support your claim. |
I live in North Dakota, so too much humidity in the house is quickly evident with condensation on the windows. We had 3 large aquariums, and no exhaust fans in the bathrooms (we don't open the windows in the dead of winter). Excess humidity was definitely an issue - and in February, 45% was WAY too much! Three years ago, we installed exhaust fans in the bathroom, got rid of the largest aquarium, and even run a dehumidifier in the winter. It has made a world of difference in the amount of condensation on the windows - and as others have said, it's the moisture issues you can't see that are a far more serious problem. Seeing water vapor on the windows is a good thing - it alerts us to a potential moisture problem. |
- Posted by HomeSealed (My Page) on Tue, Dec 3, 13 at 12:04
Don't have much to add other than that your first course of action should be to reduce that RH. If you still have issues, call the marvin rep back out. Often times things can be overlooked until they are identified as a complaint. You definitely DO want to get this addressed one way or the other as water + wood windows = bad news. |

"My kids loved these muffins, and so did I. Great for a quick breakfast or snacking after school. Yummy!"
"Wow! Great recipe! I was doubting it until I got to Step 27 when the butter was between 2 layers and I was rolling the dough very easily. At that point they were fun to make and definitely worth making again. I would also try salted butter - I guess we are used to store bought croissants probably loaded with salt.
