share your ambitions/goals/training here on a 'newbie ultra' thread........
HELP! I bought a S-Lab 12 last week and took it for a trial run on my 50km LSR on the weekend. I now have loads of friction "burns" / marks on my back and on my sides. Has anyone else experienced this? Have I done it up too tight or not tight enough? Any ideas?
SAFER wrote (see)
Sudocrem is your friend.
Congrats TIAGO, lovely news. I can confidently say that small children are a great training tool for long ultras, my kids are 7 and 9 now but I've done weeks on little sleep in the past and it's amazing what you CAN do, despite feeling like utter sh£te
an - I would "think" that the pack is either too loose or you've packed it in a way / with stuff that contributes to the rubbing.
I normally have to adjust my pack as the run progresses as it becomes lighter / less bulky. Every time I start a new run I think I've put on a load of weight because I have to loosen the straps
I guess having the pack too tight could also cause friction, as could certain types of clothing. I remember my old Raidlight pack combined with a Nike waterproof jacket used to destroy my back!
SAFER: Once the rubbed areas have healed I would try it on some shorter runs (an hour or so to start with) and adjust as needed until you find what level of tightness works.
I also suggest that when you use it for a long run you should apply lots of glide stick on all the areas where you have learned that it rubs, BEFORE the run...
SAFER: If it was doing that to me, I would assume that it doesn't fit and be looking for something else! The odd small rub here and there is to be expected, but if it didn't feel as though you had it abnormally tight, then with problems like that it sounds like a different pack might be better for you!
these ultralight running packs don't really have much in the way of adjustment. They do come in various sizes, it sounds like it's a little on the loose side if it keeps rubbing.
Thanks Cragchick, what is this sleep you speak of?
Managed to plod my way around the sdw100 last weekend, so you're right, its possible ????
You should have seen those last 20 miles! Cheers Gary, it was good to see you.
Was going to say the same thing Tom, hardly a plod! Really well done on your result
GKD sorry dont think I said hi this time, you probably got to our CP at one of the many busy points! we were at CP1 & CP4 this time How was your race/time on this one?
Thanks all, gonna try it a bit tighter next time. Thanks for the advice.
2nd ultra on Saturday 111km / 69m
Hey Cheesy, it was great to see you and Roni again. CP1 looked mega busy! That ice-cream at CP4 was awesome. GKD was volunteering at this one rather than running it, kit-check and CP3 I think. I can't tell you all what a boost it is to see familiar friendly faces on the course.
Tiago: well done at SDW100.
booktrunk: good luck for Saturday.
Meanwhile, I've now managed seven miles in one run and my legs are beginning to remember what they're suppose to do. Next I have to remind them about hills...
BT, hope it goes well for you which one is it?
Tom: ah that would be why I didnt see him! CP1 was just manic, it was over so quickily after Stuart and Mark went through, it seemed that everyone just descended on us! CP4 was busy, but rest spells to restock were welcome too! Glad you liked the ice cream, although it was more like milkshake with the heat...
DB: glad things are starting to work again
The Wall, a bit commercial, but a friendly bunch on their Facebook group
Hope tapers have gone well and good luck to everyone who is racing in the next couple of weeks.
Well done Tiago - sounds an excellent effort to me!
Glad to hear that you are getting going again Debra - it has been a long hard road!
Help..Can anyone direct me to an Ultra Training program....what do you guys follow???? want to do THE WALL next year
or this
lots of other out there, I think most end up making their own plans up cherry picking bits they like plus bits from what they've read themselves.
Get some real long training runs in, and also do some very, very long days walking they will also hold you in good stead.
Not that many hills but there are about 4 big arse stubborn hills in the wall.

 I know there is a sizing chart on the pages but how does this shirt fit in real life? Does it run large or is it spot on for sizing? I wear a large in button up shirts but in t-shirts I usually get an x-large so how do these shirts do out of the package/

Asked by: Jik47

 These are running true to size.

 I normally wear size large. Some brands run a little small, which means I need and XL. What do you recommend size wise with the Men's camo layered long sleeve T shirt? Roy

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration says the federal
deficit hit a near-record $1.3 trillion for the just-completed
budget year.
That means the government had to borrow 37 cents out of every
dollar it spent as tax revenues continued to lag while spending on
food stamps and unemployment benefits went up as the economy slowly
pulled out of recession.
The eye-popping deficit figures provide Republican critics of
President Barack Obama's fiscal stewardship with fresh ammunition
less than three weeks ahead of the midterm congressional elections.
The deficit was $122 billion less than last year, a modest

World Cup Review- Groups C and D
26 Mar 2007
Kev Goughy
World Cup Group Stage Review
Groups C and D
With the Group Stage completed it is time for a review of the Tournament so far.
The early part of this long World Cup has seen controversy, disappointment and excitement galore. There has been fierce competition, dramatic upsets, exciting cricket, and records broken. However providing the flip-side to the excellent aspects are the issues that have been raised over the poor attendance levels, the quality of certain tracks, the negative impact of the weather and the unfortunate events surrounding Bob Woolmer. Whatever the viewpoint, the 2007 World Cup Group Stage evokes strong opinions.
Group C
St Lucia
Both New Zealand and England were expected to easily qualify from Group C and both duly obliged. Kenya and Canada displayed fighting qualities but ultimately lacked the firepower to challenge the big boys. Group C opened with Kenya easily beating Canada but it was the second game, New Zealand against England, which would shape the outcome of the group. After losing early wickets chasing a modest 209, New Zealand closed out the game with ease and put themselves in a dominating position. The other games played out according to expectations, with England and New Zealand each brushing aside Canada and Kenya.
Player of Group C-
Scott Styris. 219 runs @ 109.5 and 3 wickets @ 15.33. Along with Jacob Oram, Styris saw New Zealand home in the important game against England after they had been in early trouble. That innings was followed by more runs against Kenya and Styris also chipped in with useful wickets.
Biggest off-field story-
Andrew Flintoff's embarrassing drinking binge that led to the now former vice-captain having to be rescued at sea at 4am.
England v Kenya at Gros Islet - Mar 24, 2007
England won by 7 wickets (with 60 balls remaining). Kenya 177 (43/43 ov); England 178/3 (33/43 ov)
Canada v New Zealand at Gros Islet - Mar 22, 2007
New Zealand won by 114 runs. New Zealand 363/5 (50 ov); Canada 249 (49.2 ov)
Kenya v New Zealand at Gros Islet - Mar 20, 2007
New Zealand won by 148 runs. New Zealand 331/7 (50 ov); Kenya 183 (49.2 ov)
Canada v England at Gros Islet - Mar 18, 2007
England won by 51 runs. England 279/6 (50 ov); Canada 228/7 (50 ov)
England v New Zealand at Gros Islet - Mar 16, 2007
New Zealand won by 6 wickets (with 54 balls remaining). England 209/7 (50 ov); New Zealand 210/4 (41 ov)
Canada v Kenya at Gros Islet - Mar 14, 2007
Kenya won by 7 wickets (with 40 balls remaining). Canada 199 (50 ov); Kenya 203/3 (43.2 ov)
The following teams made it through to the Super-8 stage of the Tournament from Group C (points carried over to the next round in brackets)
New Zealand (2), England (0)
Group D
Group D was highlighted early as the Group to watch given the nature of the teams included. There were two talented but unpredictable teams (West Indies and Pakistan), one team trying to rebuild (Zimbabwe) and one team that was a virtual unknown (Ireland).
The World Cup opened in celebratory style with the home team, West Indies, defeating Pakistan and the party continued with a dramatic tie between Zimbabwe and Ireland. Zimbabwe needed only one run off the final ball and failed. However, the mood quickly changed with the murder of Pakistan coach, Bob Woolmer, after Ireland performed above themselves to defeat Pakistan. The next game saw West Indies easily defeat Zimbabwe to guarantee their progression to the Super-8's. Zimbabwe were then eliminated when they lost to Pakistan in a game the Pakistani players dedicated to the memory of their fallen coach. Having already qualified, Ireland ran into a rampant Shivnarine Chanderpaul in the final game of the group and the impressive West Indies progressed through to the Super-8's unbeaten.
Player of Group D-
Niall O'Brien. 84 runs @ 28. In a group that contained a number of quality players and saw many special performances, it may be unfair to give the Player of Group D award to someone who only had one good innings. However, what an innings! O'Brien almost single handedly knocked Pakistan out of the World Cup and his 72 in difficult conditions is made even more special when compared to the next highest score in the game, 27 by Kamran Akmal. O'Brien's innings was one of tremendous importance and had implications around the world.
Biggest off-field story-
The tragic murder of the then Pakistan coach, Bob Woolmer, after Pakistan's shock loss to Ireland
West Indies v Ireland at Kingston - Mar 23, 2007
West Indies won by 8 wickets (with 59 balls remaining) (D/L method). Ireland 183/8 (48/48 ov); West Indies 190/2 (38.1/48 ov)
Pakistan v Zimbabwe at Kingston - Mar 21, 2007
Pakistan won by 93 runs (D/L method). Pakistan 349 (49.5 ov); Zimbabwe 99 (19.1/20 ov)
West Indies v Zimbabwe at Kingston - Mar 19, 2007
West Indies won by 6 wickets (with 13 balls remaining). Zimbabwe 202/5 (50 ov); West Indies 204/4 (47.5 ov)
Ireland v Pakistan at Kingston - Mar 17, 2007
Ireland won by 3 wickets (with 32 balls remaining) (D/L method). Pakistan 132 (45.4 ov); Ireland 133/7 (41.4/47 ov)
Ireland v Zimbabwe at Kingston - Mar 15, 2007
Match tied. Ireland 221/9 (50 ov); Zimbabwe 221 (50 ov)
West Indies v Pakistan at Kingston - Mar 13, 2007
West Indies won by 54 runs. West Indies 241/9 (50 ov); Pakistan 187 (47.2 ov)
The following teams made it through to the Super-8 stage of the Tournament from Group D (points carried over to the next round in brackets)

1. From the anatomical orientation of the stomach ( see figure), one can see that when a person lies on the right, the stomach contents can drain downward into the lower esophagus. Lying on the left, however, helps to keep the stomach contents away from the cardiac orifice. Therefore GERD is more likely to occur when lying on the right.

A full line of LED exterior lights for trailers is now available in the commercial vehicle aftermarket from Phillips Industries.
A line of thin, durable lamps initially was introduced at the Technology & Maintenance Council meeting this spring and were available through trailer makers such as Wabash.
Now the lights will be available from parts distributors and dealers.
These new Boardfree LED products will be sold under the Permalite XT brand name. They are manufactured in the U.S. by Innotec. Phillips Industries entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Innotec Group earlier this year.
Boardfree in-mold technology is a process that eliminates the need for a traditional printed circuit board, resulting in an ultra-thin light that generates no hazardous waste.
According to Phillips, Permalite XT LED lights with Boardfree technology feature:

Style inspiration from the Paris ramp
Does the Obama visit and the personal rapport between the two heads of government suggest India's foreign policy is hereafter heading in a new direction? And does this mean we will see Indian and American policies finding increasing areas of convergence? I would say the answer to both questions is yes, writes Karan Thapar.
I know Rajesh as one of the barbers at The Taj Mahal Hotel in Delhi. For a year or so I've been one of his clients. But little did I suspect that beyond the efficiency, courtesy and diligence I respect there is a deeply thoughtful, generous and genuinely noble soul.
Let me start with a simple question: Does the Press have a right to publish articles and cartoons or broadcast TV programmes that mock God and satirise religion? Karan Thapar asks.
If a play can prove that Britain is a truly exceptional country from which we have a lot to learn then I believe I saw it last week in London, Karan Thapar writes.
If you want to be witty, one of the cleverest ways is to use paraprosdokians. It's a figure of speech in which the second half of a phrase is surprising or unexpected, with Winston Churchill a master at it, writes Karan Thapar.
The truth is Indian politicians have let down the armed forces. As far back as 2003, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Defence recommended OROP, calling it 'a debt', writes Karan Thapar.
Would Mr Modi have chosen Diwali or Holi for Good Governance Day? Undoubtedly not. So how did he dare to choose Christmas? This feels like a calculated affront to Christianity and Christians, writes Karan Thapar.
Given that you can vote at 18 and, second, given that in six states you can drink at 18 and in 12 at 21, why should one have to wait till 25 to smoke? Asks Karan Thapar.
Did the BJP mislead the country by promising more than it could deliver on black money? Has the NDA done more in six months than the UPA in 10 years to bring black money back? Asks Karan Thapar.
PM Modi's invitation to US President Barack Obama to be the Chief Guest on Republic Day was not just a complete surprise but in many ways a foreign policy game changer. This step establishes Modi as a master of foreign policy, writes Karan Thapar.
Congress nurtured Bhindranwale as a tool to curb the Akalis and he turned into a Frankenstein monster. The blame for that rests entirely with Indira Gandhi. She can't escape it, writes Karan Thapar.
Should voting be compulsory? You may think that's a strange question but it's also a very interesting one, as I hope to reveal. Second, you can argue convincingly on both sides of this question although I would say one has decidedly more weight, writes Karan Thapar.
It's not often that you come across a book by a journalist that's not just delightfully written but also insightful, and even, eye-opening. Rajdeep Sardesai's '2014: The Election that changed India' has all these qualities. Karan Thapar writes.
It's as clear in my memory as if it happened yesterday. But, in fact, I first met Father Terry Gilfedder 30 years ago. It was the late summer of 1982, writes Karan Thapar.
It's a paradox but PM Narendra Modi's response to the political challenges he faces is significantly different to the way he handles the economic challenges. You could almost say they are the opposite of each other, writes Karan Thapar.

Pronunciation is like an art to me, and I've always enjoyed it. It is like learning how to play guitar, where we have to figure out when to use different picking strategies or strumming patterns to produce the desired sounds. In pronunciation, we also need to use many different techniques and tongue positions in our mouth to produce the right sounds. Another similarity is that we've got to know when to change how hard or softly we should hit the guitar strings when playing a song. The same thing happens when we have to figure out how hard or how soft we should stress certain syllables in words, or some words in sentences when speaking. Finally, there's the use of rhythm as the main component that shapes the flow of the song, just as it also shapes the flow of the speech in pronunciation.
A socializing game: Driver's seat (by Anne Hodgson)
A few weeks ago I was teaching a group of personal and team assistants (PAs) I hadn't met before how to assist international teams. This group didn't need to go over critical incidents they'd had with foreign team members. Instead, they said their biggest challenge was making small talk with their visiting American team members. So that's what we practiced.
The Foolproof Lesson
Most teachers have a short list of foolproof activities they can build a lesson around in a pinch–and this is one of mine.
It's foolproof because it works for all levels, all ages, and with or without prepared materials. It's deceptively simple, so beginning students are able to expand their existing language skills and strategies without feeling intimidated. Students control the difficulty, and discover the language they need in the process of completing a task. I've done this successfully with both children and engineers (at extreme ends of the language skill spectrum), but will demonstrate it with a class I currently teach of beginning adults. (more…)

- Writer: Somruedi Banchongduang
Kasikornbank (KBank) will offer new loan packages to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) hit by the higher daily minimum wage, says executive vice-president Patchara Samalapa.
It is preparing three loan packages, with a repayment grace period of six months, additional credit lines of up to 20% of existing working capital and credit lines for equipment and machinery investment. KBank is prepared to lend 10 billion baht to support the special financial programmes initially.
The assistance package is available to all existing SME clients at no more than 10 million baht each, but the bank will consider all applications case by case.

Macabre miniature golf
Have you ever tried miniature golf? Do you love it? Did you once love it but not so much any more? When I was younger, it was a very popular and inexpensive date but through the years it seemed to seriously decline in popularity. In recent times, however, it seems to be regaining popularity, perhaps because of the different, sometimes very extreme, themes of some of the courses. If you enjoy the macabre and miniature golf, I may have found your Nirvana.
For $14, you can get an entire day of unlimited mini-golf and billiards at The Haunted Mill and Purple Planet Mini-Golf courses. Both courses are housed at the same location in Belmont and are open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
Built inside of an allegedly haunted former mill, The Haunted Mill mini-golf course immerses putt-putters in blacklit scenes of blood, banshees, and birdies. As your caddie (not included) helps you line up your shot on one of the course's nine carnage-ridden holes, your club will be susceptible to the claws and cleavers of monsters and madmen, each foaming at the fanged mouth to make you dinner. On the links of The Haunted Mill, fear is every player's handicap, and tears are par for the course.
The Purple Planet course offers the same sort of atmospheric thrills as The Haunted Mill, but without all the chainsaw-wielding zombies "just playing through." Decked out in glow-in-the-dark paint and intergalactic imagery, the Purple Planet course transports players to a space system just eight parsecs beyond the Pebble Beach Asteroid Belt. Cosmic golfers can wear special 3D glasses to further bring the course's astro-ambience to life. As a bonus, 4D golf cleats allowing for interstellar time travel are not provided and also do not exist.
Once you have enjoyed as much golf as you can stand try a coffin ride, where you will be enclosed in a hydraulic-powered casket and shaken around like a morbid martini, all while a camera inside the coffin captures your claustrophobic consternation. You can also enjoy unlimited games of billiards ($1 per game), ideal for guests wanting to prove that, when serial killers aren't lunging at them from scream-filled shadows, they can indeed place little round balls in holes.- Golf

Nice welcome
When you enter the pavilion of the DSBG, look up! The dome is actually very beautiful and there is an impressive plaque on the floor beneath this dome that marks the year that the garden pavilion opened.
In here spare time, one of my coworkers works up at DSBG and she tells me that this dome is the oldest thing up there. It comes from a Baptist church in Canton, Ohio. Mike Bush, who is the executive director of DSBG, purchased it at an auction in Atlanta, GA. It came in pieces and had to be assembled once it arrived here. Apparently, there was already a hole in the ceiling as they were preparing to place something in this spot, but when Mr. Bush saw that this piece would fit, he jumped at the chance. Thanks for the information, Karen! -
Belmont Abbey
Named a Minor Basilica in 1998 by the Vatican, Belmont Abbey is on the campus of Belmont Abbey College. The small, but lovely campus can be visited in about a half hour and offers some great photo opportunities. The architecture of the abbey is not overly impressive, but the stained glass windows are something to behold.
On Main Street of downtown Belmont, you'll find some interesting historic buildings and some shops, but just before you enter this business district is the most impressive aspect of the town. It's here that you'll find some really impressive old, southern mansions.
Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens
The DSBG is made up of over 110 acres of beautifully landscaped and manicured gardens. You'll find numerous fountains and a water displays as well as flowers in a wide array of dazzling colors. There is also an impressive visitor's pavilion in which you can purchase tickets, visit the gift store and buy refreshments.

Bake perfect sugar cookies every time
Sugar cookies are a holiday mainstay, but how do you bake perfect treats every time? With Christmas only a week away, there's no time for mistakes — or burnt cookies.
The editors of Country Woman magazine shared their best tips for great sugar cookies:
• Use a light touch. Over-working the dough will make it tough. Try to handle it as little as possible.
• Chill. Refrigerate the dough before rolling out; it makes for easier handling.
• Don't get stuck. Prevent the dough from sticking by lightly dusting with flour both the rolling pin and work surface. Be careful; working too much extra flour into the dough will make the cookies tough.
• Start small. Instead of rolling all the dough out at once, roll out in small portions, such as enough to make a dozen cookies. Keep remaining dough in the refrigerator, so it stays chilled.
• Keep it even. Roll the dough from the center out, maintaining a uniform thickness. Use a ruler to check; uneven thickness makes for uneven baking. Thinner cookies will burn before thick ones are done.
• Make clean cuts. Dip your cookie cutters in flour or spray them with nonstick cooking spray to keep dough from sticking.
• Use right tools. Have a large spatula or pancake turner handy to transfer cutout cookies to and from baking sheets. To keep cookies intact, make sure the entire cutout fits on the spatula or turner.
• Keep it simple. Limit your designs and colors while decorating. The job will go faster and results will look (and taste) better.
• Leave time for drying. Let decorated cookies dry overnight before packaging for gift giving or freezing.

These tips also apply to many other cookie recipes. If looking for a new recipe to try this holiday season, check out The Bee's own Cookie Corner. Today's installment features quick and easy Snow Squares, super-thin and almost guilt-free lemon bars. Or try the thin chocolate mint variation. Find that recipe at http://bit.ly/1fEZ2Ax

"Learn how to sell right out of college "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance

- Career Opportunities
I worked at CEB
Fast paced environment where a recent college grad can learn how to sell in a formalized and structured process. Interacting with the C-Suite at the age of 22 is the main benefit.
Micromanaged environment is the main difficulty. Managers are promoted to their position are typically all-star sales professionals and don't have experience managing people.
Continue to invest in your greatest asset, your people. Best of luck getting over the hump and finding your next growth engine.

ProsGood latitude from management to improve your program's web pages as you see fit, although that may not be true for different practice areas.
You can work from home when the office is closed due to inclement weather.
The people are nice. Seems like 75% of the staff just graduated (or graduated recently) from college. They will send you a Facebook friend request after you have had one meeting with them.
The company is holding a "Wii-Olympics" competition. So if you like to play video games with total strangers that are not in the same division as a way to somehow boost morale, get excited!!ConsThey stopped hiring external US/UK web personnel and have opened up shop in India like you wouldn't believe. I'm all for cost efficiency, but not when it has a negative value on the quality of the product.
Since the recession, we lost 3 US web staff on my team, and despite my best efforts, I was only able to get 1 new hire...in India. With all the barriers to communication one could imagine, I've had to re-train this person on many basic web functions and his lack of experience has had a visible decline in the quality of our web pages.
Management TALKS about how important the web is, but has yet to follow-up with any real results (i.e. a bigger web budget).
Despite what was said by another web person on this site, pay is not that great at the manager level. I have had recent interviews in the private and government sectors, as well as with several non-profit agencies, that ALL paid significantly more than CEB does to do the same job.
And they wonder why there's such a high turnover rate at this company? It's because they hire kids right out of college that want to prove themselves, get burned out after 9 months, and are poorly compensated in the process.Advice to ManagementAdviceIt's hard to offer advice for a management team that has no idea what they are doing or where they are taking the company.

I worked at CEB
ProsIt's a very young atmosphere and people are generally friendly. The hours are very reasonable with overtime being given in some positions after one exceeds 40 for the week.
ConsThe business model is poised to fail as the research offered by CEB is a luxury for companies, not a necessity. The web specialist role is extremely monotonous and doesn't provide many opportunities for growth.
Advice to ManagementAdviceAdapt to the current marketplace quickly. Allow for easier access to internal job switches and don't keep employees in the dark on big changes.

Quaint towns lie nearby, camping spaces (usually primitive) abound, and history is there for the dipping of your fingers in the water.

Hennepin Canal Bike Paths
The Hennepin Canal Parkway follows an old towpath that was actually never used, although the locks and aqueducts are in still in place. It was originally built to link the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. The 105-mile path is level and easy; however, water is scarce along the way (found only at locks 21, 22 and the Visitor Center), so be sure to bring plenty, especially during hot days. The landscape varies from forest to grasslands to marsh to farmland, and the trail is particularly pleasing during fall, when the leaves are changing colors. The Hennepin Canal Parkway has become a cyclist's paradise and an exceptional spot for fishing, birding, horseback riding and a wealth of outdoor recreation.
CITY: Sheffield
Hennepin Canal Parkway State Park
The Hennepin Canal State Park, a 104-mile linear park, is a rustic, historic, educational, and recreational jewel spanning five counties and includes the entire width of Henry County with access points in Annawan, Atkinson, Geneseo, and Colona. It offers an up-close look at a fascinating piece of transportation history. It is popular with bicyclists who ride from town to town exploring the history, dining, lodging, and entertainment possibilities as they travel. The canal multi-purpose recreational trail is a portion of the American Discovery Trail, a 6,800-mile coast-to-coast trail devoted to non-motorized use. It is also part of the Grand Illinois Trail, a 535-mile loop through northern Illinois. The tree-lined park is a refuge with prairie restorations and wetlands slicing through corn and soybean farmland. Home to diverse flora and fauna, it has become a favorite for bird watchers and prairie enthusiasts. It offers numerous year-round opportunities to boat, hike, bike, fish, ride horseback, snowmobile, ice skate, and cross-country ski. Explore Henry County's jewel – the Hennepin Canal. In wintertime experience the longest snowmobile trail in the state -- 91 miles on the tow path. You can use the ice at your own risk, but pay heed to the locks, bridges and culverts where the ice likely is thinner than the rest of the canal. Bring your blades, skating along the canal is free! Keep in mind the rule is there must be 4" of snow and 6" of frost on canal for route to be open. Call the Visitor Center for automated message.
CITY: Atkinson

The state should put a police officer in every school. Funding is quite minimal at $5 billion on a national scale. If anything, gunowners should be given a tax break for owning guns - some fair formula can be worked out I'm sure. CCW holders should be given a double tax break. E finita la cuccagna

I remember back when Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street were really scary. These days they're a friggin joke. I'm pretty sure that if you released Paranormal Activity back in the 80's you'd have a lot of people having heart attacks in theaters . Additionally I would lay the blame somewhat with the media as well. These days every one wants to be unique, to be different, to stand out, etc.. Well, going on a mass shooting spree is a sure fire way to get you your 15 minutes of fame! It's like back when the media in LA covered the F'ing car chases every night. Guess what, people admitted to doing it to get on TV. I mean, they knew they were going to jail anyways may as well have some fun and get on TV right. I don't know how you can stop reporting things like this but the more they are reported I only see more things like it happening. Last edited by LivninSC; 12-21-2012 at 11:51 AM.. |
An example from Aurora, CO (same town as the theater shooting) just months before: http://www.thedenverch Police: Gunman Wordlessly Opened Fire On Churchgoers Kiarron Parker Killed Pastor's Mother Before He Was Shot By Off-Duty Officer Yet, Fania agreed the Milow likely prevented more bloodshed. "Who knows what would have happened had that officer not been there or had his gun with him," the police spokesman said. "It certainly had the makings to be a lot worse." Note that the church was not a "gun free zone" and the officer was off-duty, carrying and just happened to be at the service. |
There was a shooting in HS near me a few months back...an unarmed male teacher grabbed the kid with gun and took him down. I think regardless of the gun laws the element of surprise and speed of the gun are what give shooters the best advantages. We really can't do much about the surprise part but we can at least slow down the speed by which they shoot people. As an aside, I also think we need a larger male presence in schools...for educational reasons and just physical strength. Most women don't stand a chance at taking down a strong young man/student. |
How many of these kids kill themselves? Do you really think an armed cop is more of a deterrent than death? And again, fine, if the NRA thinks it's such a kick ass idea than gun owners can pay for it. Problem solved! Well, that is until it happens again in a school where the armed police officer arrived after everyone is dead that is. But still, like I said, they can be there to deal with other matters as well. Oh, and where did I say something like "I think banning assault weapons will deter a kid from walking in with a pistol and shooting his class" My local HS is 30+ acres. I really question whether one police officer would make all that much of a difference. Just wait 5 minutes and the cop would be 1,000 feet away if he were patrolling the grounds.
