Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Oz has sobered up since the 1970s
SYDNEY -- The random alcohol breath test turns 30 years old in one Australian state this year. Police officers plan to celebrate the birthday by testing one million drivers this summer.
Given there's probably only around four million Australians with a driver's licence in the state (New South Wales), that's a 25 per cent chance of getting tested at least once.
Those kinds of odds won't go unnoticed in a gambling nation, which has radically altered its attitudes to drinking and driving in recent decades.
It's kind of funny -- in a whimsical rather than a "ha ha'' sort of way -- to have lived long enough to track the social engineering bringing the once-comic drunk-behind-the-wheel into such disrepute.
Little more than three decades ago, a conviction was a largely socially accepted sign of middle-class devilry, a jocular little run-in with the law costing little by way of financial penalty, and even less in terms of social standing.
For a sensible, sober (in the broader sense of the word) motoring dad to drink four or five full-strength beers and a shot of rum "for the road'' at a back yard Saturday night party was not uncommon.
With the kids lounging in the rear seat sans seat belts, and possibly to the loud accompaniment of Glen Campbell's Rhinestone Cowboy on the tape player, that law-abiding paragon of family values could set out on the highway confident he was placing no one at risk.
And if tragedy struck and the family perished in an inferno, his grieving friends would stand in a court of law, with steady hand on the Bible, testifying he was in no way alcohol-impaired when he left the party.
They wouldn't be committing a perjury -- "drunk" was harder to quantify in the 1970s when the scientific calibration of the breathalyser test was not available.
Walking unaided, with no visible stagger, was enough for a police officer who might draw a chalk line on the highway and watch with a professional (and often amused) eye as the motorist negotiated it.
An adult who might now be rated as having four times the permitted alcohol level (which stands as .05 per cent in Australia) in their blood could easily be graded as sober by an old-style cop who saw no visible signs of impairment apart from a cheery countenance.
When the random breath test (RBT) machines were introduced in New South Wales in 1982, there were howls of disbelief in a country which prided itself on its ability to hold its liquor, and took years to accept the drinking of a lite beer would not lead to emasculation.
Even the stately Australian Law Reform Commission recommended against it in an almost American-style defence of personal liberty, and the need for limited government intrusion in our lives.
"Important liberties should not surrendered on the basis of a hunch or as a consequence of wishful thinking,'' it sermonized.
The leading nationally circulated newspaper The Australian also noted haughtily the RBT was a gross intrusion on human rights "based on the assumption that the driver might be drunk.''
Turns out they often were.
And so our civil liberties were ruthlessly violated, the RBTs appeared on our roads and thousands of lives were saved.
New South Wales acting deputy police commissioner Mark Murdoch told reporters this week that, despite the massive increase in population since 1980, annual road fatalities have dropped from 1,253 to 364 today.
In the 1980s, one in two road fatalities were alcohol related. Today the figure is one in five.
A three-decade long national campaign to change public perceptions about drink driving, including the memorable slogan "if you drink then drive you're a bloody idiot," has robbed the offence of any traces of glamour.
Drunk or impaired driving can lead to job loss, jail and serious censure from family and friends who now grasp the lethal potential of putting several tonnes of speeding metal in the hands of a drunkard.
"If you drink, you don't drive,'' says Murdoch
"While some boofheads (idiots) clearly try, the message is very clear.''

So it finally happened. My store brand got rid of the trans fats! My husband felt my frosting was heavier than normal using the non transfat shortening. I felt it had a bit more of an aftertaste too. I was reading about the imitation flavorings may cause this so I want to eliminate the imitation butter and use real vanilla. But how to get the butter taste? My recipe is 2 cups shortening, 32 oz of powdered sugar, 1 tbsp. meringue, 2-3 tbsp cornstarch, a little salt, 1/2 c water, 1 tsp. vanilla and 1 tsp. butter extract.
Now for the stupid question. Since I want to keep the frosting as stable as possible in the heat, I don't want to use a lot of butter. Could I just eliminate the butter extract and add a tbsp of real butter? Or am I better off splitting the shortening and butter? Does this hold up in the heat? Would I still want to use meringue and cornstarch? I hate having to revamp my recipe! I got so many compliments on it for years. Those darn bad for you trans fats! As always, greatly appreciate the feedback and advise!

Came accross an "important printer setup instructions" sheet from a while back with a printer code for HP ePrint. As I remember at the time, this sheet printed automatically. Just now following up on it, and the code no longer works. Found instructions on HP website to use the "Web Services" tab on the printer to print another sheet. Cannot find this tab under Web Services nor under the "settings" tab on the printer. Is there an other way I can obtain a printer code? I am using a router with my HP Officejet 6700 Premium e-All-in-One Wireless Printer with no problems.
This question was solved. View Solution.

Hi SilverCat,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems getting your claim code to setup ePrint on your Officejet 6700.
Yes you can obtain the printer claim code. There are a couple different ways that you can do so. The steps to do so can be found in your user's guide starting on page 69. I have included a link to your User Guide. The easiest is to do it from the front panel of the printer. I have included a document on getting your printer claim code and it has those steps for you. I have also included a document on getting started with HP's ePrint for additional reference.

I am new to natural/organic products. Have done alot of research, though I am far from an expert. I have found two poo and conditioners that I am currently trying. No sls, cones, alcohols, fragrance, propylene glycol, etc... in any of these. I bought these from earthturns.com and there is no tax or shipping added in the USA no matter how small your order is. The website tells you exactly what the ingredients are as I have double checked the labels when I received the product. The Fundamental shampoo and Fundamental Conditioners, you can get samples really cheap and again no shipping cost in the USA. My favorite so far is the Organic Excellence Conditioner
Organic Excellence Conditioner - Made in America
Chemical Free Shampoo - Natural Organic Shampoo - Made in America
Chemical Free Hair Conditioner - Organic Hair Conditioner - Made in America
Mostly: Wen Cleansing Conditioner: Lavendar & Tea Tree
Occasionally: DevaCurl No-Poo, One Condition, & Angel; KCCC, KCKT & KCCC

Here's a pic of catkins on my hazel which were taken just before the thunder & lightning arrived:
If you zoom-in you can just make out the tiny female flowers (red bits on the end of some buds) which eventually turn into nuts.
Agree with Dove and I'd also suggest planting them a little deeper to cover and protect potential buds at the bottom of the stems. Some new roses arrived at about this time last year and had rather a lot of fresh growth on them which was later killed by frosts. I was experimenting with planting depth at the time and out of the 4, the 2 I planted deeper sent up new shoots from the buried stems in the spring and flowered just fine. The two planted with the graft at soil level died.

I know just what you mean Nutcutlet! I had a flock of starlings came down onto the bird table this morning, but it was impossible to count them as they were constantly changing position and as others flew in, some flew off! Have been able to count one robin, two blue tits, two great tits, one thrush, five blackbirds, eight sparrows and seventeen starlings (but there were probably about twenty five - they just wouldn't stay still).

Hi RD, I think we all try and spray chemicals around as little as possible these days. If you wash your pots and seed trays in hot water with a bit of detergent and use good quality seed compost you should be fine. You can even microwave the seed compost to sterilize it if you like. Gardeners of old used to make anti-fungal sprays using various compounds which were easily available from chemists (eg copper sulphate) but as most of the chemicals used were quite poisonous to humans if accidentally (or otherwise) consumed, the powers that be have restricted the sale of most of them in recent decades.
I agree - your OH may change her mind once she sees the flowers and may only want it cutting back. It's always best to wait a full year when you move to somewhere with an established garden so you can get to see the full range of plants.
Folk here love identifying things from photo's and are very good at it so fire away!
For drainage you want to dig the grit in as deep as you can really to at least a foot and the more the better - even up to 50% in really heavy clay - a mere sprinkling will have no effect. For the manure it depends on what fruit you'll be growing but many fruit plants have relatively shallow 'surface feeding' roots, so the manure doesn't need to be dug in so far and can even just be spread on the surface after improving the drainage - the worms will take it down into the soil over time. Google "no dig gardening" for more on that technique.
Hi Eve, I don't see why not unless your soil gets waterlogged as rosemary won't like that at all. Take cuttings in summer when your father's bush is growing lots of new healthy shoots. Here's how to root them:
Yes, grit, sharp sand and any kind of organic matter will help improve heavy clay. However, herbs don't need much in the way of fertilizer and they have a more concentrated flavour when grown in poorer soil so put most of the farmyard manure in the end where you'll be growing the fruit which will really benefit from it. Clay is naturally very fertile anyway so will provide everything the herbs need as long as you really improve the drainage - many are Mediterranean plants which naturally grow on poor stony soils on slopes etc. so good drainage is essential.
The usual reason given for starting afresh after 4 or so years is that viruses build up in the plants which reduces their vigour. If that were the case I can't see why the viruses wouldn't also affect runners but that's what I've always read.
Rings a bell nut now you mention it - I grew chenopodium 'strawberry sticks' from T&M seeds about 10-15 years ago. Can't say they tasted much of anything and haven't grown them since. Maybe it's me, but those, tomatillos and cape gooseberries just seemed very bland compared to more traditional fruits.

It's no wonder that Dave and Camille, the owners of Camille's Wood Fired Pizza, have adopted the mantra "food is love." Nearly a decade ago they met in a pizzeria without any idea that one day they would fall in love and open their very own restaurant. Today, their love for each other and for great food helps to warm the inviting atmosphere at Camille's, along with the kitchen's wood-fire oven, which heats up to more than 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The taste furnace renders crispy crusts on specialty pies, which chefs top with products from organic and sustainable farms whenever possible. Small plates such as artisanal salads and inventive ideas such as eggplant fries round out meals and bring an upscale touch to pizza night.
The Hidden Still is "Connecticut's first restaurant and moonshine bar," its staff says. It's a bold claim, but even fanatic mixologists would be hard-pressed to name another bar with more than 10 moonshine varietals on its shelves. Culled from across the nation, and made from genuine moon rocks' first pressings, these moonshines are savored neat, infused in-house, and poured into signature cocktails. Of course, many diners come for the food. Executive chef Sean Martin offers polished interpretations of pub classics, such as flatbread pulled-pork sandwiches and fish tacos.
Amoroso's Ristorante & Lounge?s wood-burning brick oven pops outs pizzas topped with homemade meatballs, crispy chicken, olives, and ranch dressing. The chefs also chop, boil, and bake their way through platefuls of three-cheese ravioli and veal parmesan. On select nights, a corner of the dining room converts into a cozy stage with live musical acts and shadow-puppet shows.
Mexicali Fresh Mex Grill serves up juicy Mexican-style steaks, chimichangas, and tacos piled with al pastor pork or Baja-style fish. Diners can also sample house specialties such as the beef-stuffed poblano peppers topped with pecan-cream sauce. Vegetarian dishes are also available.
City Sports Grille is too inviting for just one bar. That's why there are two. Beneath the blue glow of more than 25 high-definition TVs, the Bristol location bustles with the friendly din of diners and drinkers. Meanwhile, the golden interior of the Vernon location bathes each patron in welcoming warmth augmented by the sounds of the day?s sports highlights. Both pubs feature a similar menu of pub-friendly grub, including chargrilled pizzas and flatbreads, half-pound burgers, and wraps that lovingly embrace hunger before utterly defeating it. Each location hosts special events on most nights, including karaoke on Thursdays and free pool on Wednesdays in Bristol and Wednesday trivia and live music on Saturdays in Vernon.

"This 534-page doorstopper is no ordinary kids' book, for sure. With its nods to the graphic novel, the flip book and the storyboard, it is an ambitious tribute to early cinema that some have already dubbed a masterpiece and a work of genius," writes Elizabeth Ward in the Washington Post, noting, too, that there are rumors claiming that Martin Scorsese is interested in adapting Brian Selznick's novel. "It's such a likeably earnest book that one wishes it were so. But the truth is that The Invention of Hugo Cabret is more about the razzle-dazzle of novelty than any particular artistic merit. The first movies transfixed people too, but that doesn't mean their plots weren't mostly pretty hokey and their characters stiffer than a girder. Just so, in Hugo Cabret, the method of telling outshines the tale." "Jonathan Lethem's seventh novel, You Don't Love Me Yet, is a parable of sorts about the ways in which art is created and commodified by a process of borrowing, stealing and transformation," writes Amy Benfer, introducing her interview with the author for Salon. And of course, she asks him why he's offering the rights to the book "free to the filmmaker who presents him with the best proposal by May 15. In return, the filmmaker will agree to pay Lethem 2 percent of the film's budget when the film receives a distribution deal, and allow the rights to the novel to return to the public domain - for the free use of anyone, including other filmmakers - within five years of the film's release." "As a sensory experience, it's overwhelming," proclaims Mark Kermode in the Observer. "But perhaps more importantly, Sunshine also harks back to a time when sci-fi turned its attention not toward the hallowed teen market but toward the heavens.... [I]t falls within a grand tradition of adult-orientated science-fiction which is haunted by the question of divinity, whether as a presence or an absence." "[T]oday Killer of Sheep is widely acknowledged as one of the most insightful and authentic dramas about African-American life on film, as well as one of the earliest examples of the politically aware black independent cinema that was taking shape in the 1970s." Dave Kehr checks in on its restoration and learns why it's taken six years to secure music clearances alone. Also in the New York Times:Posted by dwhudson at March 25, 2007 1:51 PM

Broken water main slows traffic in Greece
Greece, N.Y. -- The effects of recent bitter cold could cause problems for drivers whose commute takes them through Greece Monday.
A water main break has closed three of the four lanes of traffic on Long Pond Road between Maiden Lane and Harmony Drive.
All southbound traffic is being detoured.
One lane is open to drivers heading northbound.
There is no word yet on what caused the problem. It is expected to take crews several hours to repair the damage.

Early Duck Drawing Two for adoptions between now and Sept. 13 will be entered to win a $250 gift card. All prize winners will be announced at the festival.

– Third Prize: $500 gift card (cash value)
– Early Duck Drawing One: Four Disneyland Parkhopper Tickets (value $500) plus $250 gift card
– Early Duck Drawing Two: $250 Gift Card
At the festival, ducky regatta races begin at 12:00 p.m. Several heats will be held throughout the day and winning qualifiers from each race will compete for prizes during the Grand Regatta, the final race of the day. In addition to duck races, games, activities and vendor booths, the event features entertainment and food trucks including In-N-Out Burger and Tango Mango Italian Ice Co.
Rubber duck entrants are available for adoption at $5 per duck, making the event affordable for everyone. For more chances to win, other adoption opportunities include: Quack Family (5 ducks plus 1 free duck for $25); Quacker's Dozen (10 ducks plus 2 free ducks for $50) and Duck Flock (20 ducks plus 4 free ducks for $100). Visit www.duckrace.com/scv for more information on duck adoptions. Ducks can also be adopted at the event or by calling the SDFHC office at 661.257.2339.
Last October more than 4,000 ducks competed for prizes raising more than $90,000 for the non-profit that went directly toward patient care at the organization's three health centers.
"Last year the Board of Directors agreed to underwrite event expenses with general operating funds so that all money raised from Rubber Ducky goes toward patient care, not to pay for the event," said "Papa Duck" Ed Bolden, vice president of fundraising and festival chairman. "We are going to do the same this year."
All proceeds from this year's event go toward patient care at SDFHC, which offers affordable, quality primary health care for residents of the Santa Clarita Valley. SDFHC makes a special effort to serve the uninsured and underinsured.
"Our goal this year is to raise even more funds that will allow us to continue to provide health care services to anyone in need through our community health centers and outreach programs," said Cheryl Laymon, executive director of SDFHC.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael Antonovich serves as this year's Honorary Chairman. City of Santa Clarita Mayor Bob Kellar serves as Master of Ceremonies.
SDFHC thanks sponsors of this year's event: Desert Drugs, Newhall Pharmacy, Kaiser Permanente, SCV Rotary, Providence Holy Cross Medical Center, Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital, Point of View Communications, SOS Entertainment, C.A. Rasmussen Inc, Hands On Santa Clarita, Burrtec, Andel Engineering and Glendale Kiwanis. Media partners for this year's event include: The Signal; The Magazine of Santa Clarita and elite Magazine; SCVTV; KHTS AM 1220; Smart Shopper; Inside SCV Magazine and Our Valleys Magazine.
The annual Rubber Ducky Festival, also known as the Rubber Ducky Regatta, is SDFHC's signature fundraising event providing operational funding throughout the year. SDFHC operates three health centers in the Santa Clarita Valley—Canyon Country Health Center, Val Verde Health Center and Newhall Health Center—as well as outreach sites at College of the Canyons and California Institute of the Arts. SDFHC offers a full range of health care services— physicals, immunizations and vaccines, screenings and diagnostic tests, well baby care, and family planning. Patients pay based on their income. This past year, SDFHC provided service for 11,000 patient visits.
SDFHC was established in 1980 and named for long-time Val Verde resident and minister, the late Reverend Samuel Dixon. As the only non-profit health center founded and based in the Santa Clarita Valley, SDFHC serves the greater Santa Clarita Valley and is governed by a board of directors, all of whom are Santa Clarita residents. The mission of SDFHC is to enhance wellness by providing quality primary health care services and health education to unserved and underserved residents, with a special emphasis on serving the uninsured. Easily accessible services are available for the entire family in both English and Spanish. Medi-Cal, Blue Cross and Healthy Families are all accepted, and a sliding fee scale is offered, keeping health care affordable for all. SDFHC is supported by countless individuals as well as corporate sponsors who help make affordable health care possible. Tax-deductible contributions are welcome. Health services are available at the Val Verde Health Center (661-257-4008), the Canyon Country Health Center (661-424-1220) and the Newhall Health Center (661-291-1777). www.sdfhc.org

Check out this video from Scott Montgomery, a drywall professional in Canada, as he uses thePLANEX Drywall Sander as an "popcorn un-maker", removing a textured ceiling. The PLANEX makes a task that's usually messy and labor intensive into an easy process. Even better, you don't have to wait for the ceiling to dry before you can refinish it like you would if you were scraping off the popcorn using a wet method.
Please note: Always test popcorn textures for asbestos and use best practices for safe removal.
I've always wondered why painters wear white. After all, they'll get paint on themselves which will stand out against the white, right? By the same logic, you'd think it'd be crazy for a drywall installer to wear dark colors since they'll end up looking like a powdered donut by the end of the day... Mmmm, donuts. Well, with the Planex Drywall Sander, you and your clients' residence or business won't end up coated in fine drywall dust. It's like magical German dust evaporating technology.
The guys at Precision Taping are at the top of their trade when it comes to drywall and vinyl trim installation. Just check out some of their YouTube videos and you'll quickly see that you need to brush up on your drywall skills. They achieve exceptional finishes by using smart, efficient, time saving tools like the PLANEX. There's no question why they get to work on high end residences with the quality of work they do. Granted, there's no substitute for experience and skill, but the right tools will certainly amplify your capabilities and productivity.
Check out these guys in action with the PLANEX and you'll see what we mean...
According to the Gypsum Association's GA 214-10 publication regarding the Recommended Levels of Gypsum Board Finish, the best finish that you can achieve is a Level 5 finish. Well, upgrade to the PLANEX Drywall Sander and CT AutoClean Dust Extractor to take your finishes to a "6".
Ok, so admittedly there's no such thing as a level 6 finish, but if there was you'd be able to achieve it quickly, easily and virtually dust free with the PLANEX Drywall Sander. Experience drywall finishing at level 6 with the PLANEX today. Try it risk-free for yourself for up to 30 days to see if the PLANEX lives up to the hype with our money-back guarantee.

Francesco Beltrami in 2014 Dakar
Published on 12.1.2014 19:01After almost one year of hard work and training, the Italian rider Francesco Beltrami was ready to take on the biggest offroad challenge in the world. Taking part for the third time in which is considered to be the toughest event in the world, Dakar is not the usual motorsport race but an adventure.
And what an adventure of misfortune it turned out to be for Beltrami. Problems started right at the first stage, where Beltrami had to race the entire stage only using the 4th gear due to gearbox failure. After the stage it became clear that the gearbox wasn't the only thing broken. Mechanics worked through the night to get the bike ready for the next morning's early start. But it didn't stop there, as half way through the second stage Beltrami's engine broke down completely and he had to be towed to the camp. Unfortunately this meant that he had no time to change the engine again before the third stage started, so he had to stop and retire from Dakar.
"I am really disappointed because I still can't believe it that the bike started having so many problems after I had been testing it at home before shipping it here to South America. I was extremely determined and wanted to make my sponsors and friends proud by making a good result and having consistency through the days. Anyway, now it's done and I need to look forward. I will continue training and participating in other events through out the year waiting for 2015 Dakar to come" comments Beltrami.

The Girls Count Act of 2013 has the potential to be a powerful tool against human trafficking, aimed to help ensure that all girls are counted and have access to birth certificates and other necessary documentation. Moreover, proper birth registration is critical in protecting children from child labor, illegal adoptions, and other forms of exploitation.
Recently, a list of the Top 100 Most Influential People in Africa, published by New African Magazine, was released. Powerful politicians, business moguls, music producers and celebrities topped the list of influencers. Who else was included? None other than 11-year-old Zuriel Oduwole from Nigeria.
Every year for 51 million girls under 5 years old around the world are denied birth certificates or other forms of official identification due to an unavailability of systems to count these girls, and sometimes simply due to a lack of political will. These girls are invisible members of society. At Girl Up, we're trying our hardest to make these girls visible. We're spreading the word to members of Congress – and we hope you will spread the word, too.

Today, we focus on violence against girls and women, which is unfortunately a worldwide phenomenon. Some men and boys are perpetrators. But many boys and men are also protectors, community builders, and peace-makers.
Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with United Nations Foundation Senior Fellow, Dr. Alaka Basu, a social demographer with strong interests in public health. Because today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we discussed child marriage and the violence that often comes with it– as well as our hopes for women and girls to live in a world where they are safe and able to live according to their own free will.

Folders just open the command line (Windows)
I restarted my computer today, and when I did i found that folders now open up a command prompt with the location of the folder ready to go. Also, they have different icons (as does the recycle bin). I get the icons to change back to their usual by going into Desktop > Properties > Settings, and changing the colour depth and then changing it back.
This is becuase a while back, I installed a Vista transformation pack... decided I didn't like the look at all, and uninstalled it... After the uninstall everything seemed normal but when I restarted my PC yesterday it was like this (I only restart once every 1-2 weeks)
I have managed to overcome the most annoying bit by addin an action to folders called 'Explore', making it the default action and having it run explorer.exe.. I did this through the Tools > Folder Options > File Types dialogue.
I have restarted since, and when I restart, the icons change back again so I have to do the colour depth thing.
I really wouldn't mind at all, except that this method means that all folders open in a new window which is very frustrating as I prefer to have them all opening in the same window.
Any ideas how I could restore it to what I had originally?PHP Weekly - A PHP Developers Resource

Did you create a restore point before you installed the vista pack?

All Hail Spookster
the vista pack said it created a restore point, however when I tried to restore from there it said it couldn't do it... I'm not really sure why, but it went through the whole restore process and then said something about nothing being changed.

I don't have anything to prove to you-- I haven't seen your creds-- and I don't care if you have any-- Your nothing but an arm chair commando IMHO-- I don't shoot cause you can't see any wear? lol your a joke and a bitter one too, maybe you should have your old eyes checked. Sorry if I take a can of paint to my rifle every now and then, I didn't know I had to check in with a loser on the net before I painted it. The word "KIT" is new to you-- lol wow-- maybe you should get out more. Once again I apologize if my choice of vocabulary offends you? Get over it and yourself. Out of those 17 years-- just how many comps did you place in? I'm betting none-- you seem like the type of old grumpy man that says he competes for the experience and that winning doesn't matter-- typical lib speak. Then again maybe your old eyes are the problem. Club house gun-- I don't even know what that is-- it must be nice to belong to a club that has a clubhouse, or do you mean your tree house? I can't believe I just waisted 10 minutes on you.

Here's one picture of a unused rifle-- just to get your blood boiling. Have a great day giving cut and paste advice and insulting people via the safety of the net. That's me pointing to my unused rifle------- I'm not flipping you the bird-- my index finger was blown off while serving in the first Gulf. I just discovered the ignore feature-- awesome.
I'm loving this thread. One crazy guy v. pretty much everyone else here
Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. -Ronald Reagan
"'Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue sky? " Roger WatersVote freedom, join the Libertarian Party.
Ah Man, I don't think he's crazy. I think he's more than a little pissed off at the world, but I don't think he's crazy. I just keep wondering why we don't see any endorsed products from him and his select group of shooters. He references a scope that he knows about ( for REAL shooters ) - doesn't link it for anyone who might be interested. He talks about all the stuff that is wrong with "all these other posts" - but we don't get anything other than him telling us that he and his guys would laugh at you if you showed up with it. It sounds like the guy has some time behind the trigger - it's really too bad he doesn't want to share any of the hard earned knowledge with anyone here, but prefers to sit back and cast stones into the pond. Leaving me to wonder why join a firearms site in the first place. Lots of gun clubs are like that though - there is a select group of guys who will only talk to you so they can get some information to go off and laugh about. Whatever. JP's got about the right idea - what do you personally care what this one guy thinks of your weapon? He's probably never going to see it, and if he does, it doesn't sound like he will address the issue to you directly. The gun world is full of more "experts" than just about any other field. Everyone is one, or claims to be. Some people want to horde the information and keep it to themselves. Some want to share and try to help out. Some are trying to learn. If you listen long enough, everyone can teach you something about a weapon they are familiar with. Not everyone is willing to listen though... JD
This has gotten quite entertaining! Geez people, grow a thicker skin! I hope none of this rant was aimed at me and my "opinions". No, I do not "understand" why some one would spend $1000 on an optic for an AR. That does not mean the guy who has an ACOG is a tool. It simply means he has more disposable income than I do. Just because a guy accessorizes his rifle to the nth degree does not make a man a "mall ninja". Nor does owning only a Winchester .30-30 make a man a non-markman (no offense to the lever action fans). I have a C-more scout scope on my carbine and it works for me. I got mine over 10 years ago when the price was right and have only changed the battery once (I am amazed how well it holds up). I have a Redi-mag on both my AR's as I need the rifle to come out of the trunk at a moments notice and go with me into harms way. Carrying a "tac-vest" full of mags is not what the local citizenry want to see. I am a certified armorer on AR-15/M-16. I have a bit of knowlege on how the weapon system works. Once again, to each his own. To disagree is normal. To argue over an otherwise civil forum is not in anyone's best interest (IMHO).
I don't think he is crazy either... The first time I read his post it really seemed like something outside the forum set him off. And, this is the easiest way to let out his frustion. He did mention people laughing at him during the Prairie Dog Hunt; maybe thats it? Doubt it though. It's most likely more recent.

HEALTHDog fighting used to be a sport meant to entertain police officers and firefighters, and was advertised in police gazettes. Now that numerous laws have been passed that make dog fighting illegal, the sport has simply gone underground.
DOG HEALTH Many new puppies are adopted throughout the year, especially around Holiday time. One responsibility most first time dog owners forget to take into account is the amount of veterinary care that is necessary in keeping your puppy happy and healthy!

DOG HEALTH As we get older, most of us probably have at least one prescription medication we take regularly, and for many, some form of pain reliever is a daily necessity.

A short essay exploring how anarchism has always been at odds with civilization. This is primarily earnest, but is a slightly tongue-in-cheek attempt to address the mind-boggling stupid essay anarchism vs. primitivism that still seems to be making the rounds.
Squatters of the Alhambra
Potential zines – anarchist fiction from around the spanish civil war
crossposted from Birds Before The Storm:
When I was in Amsterdam I spent several days at the International Institute of Social History, which actually has a fascinating history of its own (such as smuggling documents out of Spain as fascist forces sweep through). Anyhow, the place is the world's largest repository of anarchist history. Of particular note to me, it houses almost-complete collections of La Novela Ideal and La Novela Libre, two long-running, regular, widely distributed fiction magazines published by anarchists in Spain up into the Spanish civil war.
So I went and I photographed a lot of stuff, which I've put up on my Flickr. The catch is that I can't really read enough Spanish to understand these things. So please, anyone with interest in this stuff, let me know. If the stories are good, I'd be happy to make them available in zine format. And if anyone is feeling really inspired, I'd be happy to print English translations as well.
Specifically, I've posted (books are in Spanish unless noted):
- La novela ideal #1: Mi amigo Julio by Adrian del Valle (1920s sometime)
- La novela ideal #292: Julieta by Maria Sola (1932)
- La Novela Ideal #449: Por una sola noche by Federico Urales (1935)
- La novela ideal #482: Crimenes en tierrafirma by Teresa Gibert (1935)
- La Novela Ideal #591: Juanita by Valentin Obac (1938)
- 1928 Almanaque de la novela ideal (includes various writers and translations of anarchist texts)
- La Novela Libre #36: Amor De Un Dia by Federica Montseny
- La Novela Libre #44: Mujeres libres by Mariano Gallardo (novela sexual)
- Heroinas, a novella by Federica Montseny (here are two photos of her and published by the CNT (or by CNT printers?) sometime around 1936
- A collection of German-language anarchist newspapers, mostly the covers, from a book at IISH (in German)
- Nihilism as it is by Stepniak (translated to English)

Mythmakers & Lawbreakers
A year after AK Press released our own Margaret Killjoy's Mythmakers & Lawbreakers: Anarchist Writers On Fiction (featuring interviews with such Strangers-published authors as Octavio Buenaventura, Jimmy T. Hand, and The Catastrophone Orchestra), we're pleased as hell to offer the entire book in zine format.
Rather, in sixteen-zine format. We've split up each interview, as well as the introduction and the appendices, into their own zines so that each one can actually be printed and stapled. We haven't laid them out in A4 format yet, unfortunately. If you live elsewhere in the world, it isn't too hard to simple "shrink to fit" and the zine's text is only slightly smaller.

Writing to announce that postcivilized.net finally has content. It's intended as a repository of articles about post-civilization theory, as well as short blogposts regarding various elements of post-civilized culture, etc… worth checking out.
New Items In The Mail-Order
We've got two new items in the mail-order!
Strangers In A Tangled Wilderness contributor Margaret Killjoy (author of Space Pirates With Mohawks And Shit as well as other zines) has been photographing their travels for the past year or so, collecting a unique sort of personal zine / photo book combination every season.
We've been tabling these photo zines for awhile, and the first one has been available online through a print-on-demand publisher, but we're happy to have gotten some copies in bulk, so they're now only $5, since you can buy them through us! Each one is 52 pages, full color, printed with a spine like a proper book and everything. The first issue can be downloaded for free, and the second one will be available for free download this autumn when Margaret returns from their European book tour.
We've also stopped carrying the Steamypunk 1-5 collection of zines for the moment until we can get them reprinted. Hopefully this fall you'll be seeing several new books and zines from us, as well as reprintings of some of our favorites.

Here's a story filed Tuesday by Adam Jude:
Based on the minuscule numbers the Ohio State defense allowed this year, it's hard to believe that coach Jim Tressel entered the season with concerns about how his defense would fare after losing several of its top players to the NFL draft.
"We had to retool," he said. "But I think our kids have worked hard and prepared hard. We've had good days and days not as good."
Most days, Ohio State's "Silver Bullet" defense has been pretty darn good. In fact, based on points allowed, the current group is on pace to be the best defense Tressel has had in nine seasons in Columbus. And that's saying something for a program that has been to three national championship games this decade.
The Buckeyes this year rank in the top five in the nation in five defensive categories.
But, Tressel cautioned, those numbers won't mean much when No. 8 Ohio State (10-2) takes the field against No. 7 Oregon (10-2) in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day.
"The reality is we haven't faced someone like Oregon," he said.
Of course, the same could be said of the Ducks against a defense like Ohio State's.
The most anticipated matchup heading into the Rose Bowl is how Oregon's explosive rushing attack stacks up against the Buckeyes' brick-wall run defense.
The Ducks average 236.1 yards per game on the ground, sixth-best in the nation. Ohio State is allowing just 83.4 yards per game, fifth-best in the nation.
Both coaches have been equally complimentary of the opponents' strength.
"They have speed everywhere," Tressel said of the Ducks. "We're going to have to be in tremendous shape." Click here for the complete story.
