Hey guys, I'm hoping someone can shed a little light on a problem I encountered, earlier this week, at the range with my 1911. After I emptied a magazine and inserted the next one, it caused the slide to release and chamber the first round in the mag. I've never had this happen with my other handgun. This gun is a Colt LW Commander. Standard Colt mags. It did catch me off guard, but didn't really cause me any problems. Is this something that I should be concerned about or have looked into? Thanks for any help.

I would be concerned. Check the slide stop and the slide for wear or some dirt accumulation in the slide stop cut-out. When the mag was seated, there is enough "bounce" to cause the slide stop to come out of place and allow the slide forward.

Also, check the follower of the mag you shot empty. It could be weak and not putting the slide stop high enough.
Thanks for info Dan. I did clean it, when I got home from the range, that evening. I broke it down a few minutes ago and didn't see any wear on the slide stop or the slide. I also didn't see any dirt build up, but that's not to say I didn't get while cleaning. This is practically a brand new gun. I bought it in January and have put maybe 500 rounds through it.
Did it do it with all mags? A tip I picked up when in competition was to number my mags. When 1 went bad, then I knew which by its number.
I'm not sure, I'll have to try numbering them next time, as you suggested. The problem does not seem to occur with snap caps in the mag.
Keep us informed. Make notes.

Can I attend OUBC and OUTC?
Students can only attend one of the conferences and must indicate their preference for a conference on the University Program application. OUBC is more suited for students with a strong interest in accounting, consulting, or finance careers.
How much time do I need to dedicate to attending the conference?
The conference begins promptly Friday afternoon and will last through Sunday morning. Students are required to attend all of the conference events on Friday and Saturday, with optional programming on Sunday. Students should expect to fly out of New York City Sunday afternoon or evening. Please plan ahead to be sure you arrive on time for the first event. You can refer to the conference schedule for further details.
Do I need to have a background in consulting, accounting, or financial services?
Absolutely not. The conference's content is designed both for students who are committed to careers in these industries as well as for students who are just curious or want to explore these options. Our sponsors believe in hiring students from a wide variety of backgrounds and we encourage undergraduate students with all areas of focus to apply.
Do I need to be a senior to apply?
No, we encourage all undergraduate students to attend the conference and only a third of attendees last year were seniors. Accounting students pursuing a master's in accordance with CPA requirements are also encouraged to apply.
Do I need to be Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender (LGBT) to apply?
The University Program's syllabus and conference's agenda and content is specifically geared towards LGBT students. While allies are welcome to attend, those who do not identify as LGBT may have a less meaningful experience.
Will I be 'outed' if I attend the conference?
Information about conference attendees is strictly confidential and will not be released without permission to anybody but the conference's sponsoring firms. If you would like your participation to remain confidential from sponsoring firms, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
What is the cost to attend OUBC?
There is a $50 fee for accepted students in the University Program which reserves your spot in the program and at the conference. However, we believe all students should be able to attend the conference, and offer financial support to ensure that everyone who is admitted can attend. For students who would like to request the waiver of this fee, please email email@example.com.
Will I need to pay my own travel expenses for the conference?
No. For those traveling outside of the New York area, flights, transit fare and a shared hotel room will be provided to all accepted students.
When will I find out if I was accepted?
Admissions decisions will be released two weeks after each application deadline. Those that are not accepted in the first round will be automatically reconsidered in the second round.
What is the dress code?
All events are business casual. Students are encouraged to look their best, especially at the career fair on Saturday. Appropriate attire for the male identifying includes: dress slacks, button-down shirts with collars, and dress shoes. Appropriate attired for the female identifying includes: dress slacks, knee length skirts, fitted dress shirts or blouses, and dress shoes. No lycra, jeans, khakis, t-shirts, sweat shirts, sandals or sneakers please.
What should I bring to the conference?
We recommend that students bring a notebook, resumes, and pen or pencil.
Can I select my roommate?
We will be assigning your hotel roommate as another attendee of the same gender identification, unless otherwise requested. Unfortunately we cannot facilitate specific roommate requests. The conference is an opportunity for you to network and make friends with students from all over the country.
I have an additional question or specific need. Who can I contact?
Please email email@example.com for additional questions or requests.

Review: Aurora for Mac provides a bevy of tools for creating alarms on your Mac
Create alarms, manage snooze, check your playlists, and more in this Mac wake-up app.
Aurora for Mac is an alarm clock system that allows you to set up numerous custom alarms, wake-up times, snooze options, and more from your Mac. Because it can manage the waking up and turning off of your computer to perform these functions, it is a viable alarm clock, and it goes a step further than your phone by integrating with your events and calendar so you can instantly see what's on tap for the day when you wake up.
Installation of Aurora is fairly straightforward and once you are done the interface clearly shows you what to do next and how to do it. You'll need to give the app permission to access various bits of information and to make changes to your computer, but once that's done it runs fairly smoothly. You can set alarms, choose playlists from your iTunes library, adjust the volume of that alarm, set a label, and choose to run a piece of software when the alarm goes off. It can be a useful tool for application management as well as waking up and there are tools for turning on and off the computer, waking it up at the appropriate time and more. Combined with Mac sleep control, playback control options, and a built-in iCloud calendar display, there are a number of useful tools for both waking and sleeping.
If you need a calendar/alarm app that will work equally well for managing your applications, startup time, and sleep time for the computer, then Aurora is a solid option. It is free to try and for those that use it frequently enough, well worth the paid upgrade to get more features.
Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of Aurora for Mac 5.0.3.

This past week on the Charles Bridge in Prague, I touched this image, below the statue of St. John Nepomuk. They say, if you touch this icon, you will return to Prague. I certainly hope so.
We continue to push ahead and have some fun up here at the Vancouver Photo Workshops, doing a whole week of experimenting with speed lights.
One speedlight, outside the window. Tri-grip diffuser held up against the glass. TTL signal from camera pulsed out the window to the flash in the street. Couple frames, soft light for Mary June, who is a lovely model. Tomorrow is a big group here at The Ironworks in Vancouver for an all day lighting demo. Then, for me, a red eye to Washington DC (if it every stops snowing). Back to Vancouver later next week.

In February, heading back to one of my favorite places to shoot, Vancouver, Canada. I'll be up there for a week, and teaching a wide array of flash techniques, both in seminar style classes and one and two day intensive workshops. Hit this link for full info.
It'll be a hoot. I reunite with some of my favorite models, and favorite photo community folks, such as the dramatically beautiful Shazmin, shot here with just one light.
Also get a chance to work again with friend and local Vancouver shooter, Syx Langemann. Syx is something of a legend up there in Vancouver, and I always enjoy the collaboration. It's also a chance to update their family photo.
One of Syx's specialties has always been nudes, dance, and figure studies, and he and Taryn actually met on such a shoot. So, in keeping with that tradition, I photographed the two of them when Taryn was pregnant with their first. They have two kids now, so time for a new portrait this year.
Vancouver remains a wonderfully vibrant and creative photo community, and I always learn a great deal whenever I am there. It's a chance to experiment, teach, and shoot in a great city, and one that actually has decent weather in February. (Well, compared to Connecticut.)
The workshops are produced and staged by Marc Koegel and the Vancouver Photo Workshops group. Also a big shout out to Amanda Mohammed and the whole crew at Nikon Canada for helping us get this going!
More tk….
Two amazing cities, at one of the best times of the year. I have great memories of both places, and am very anxious to visit again. Our mission will be to walk, talk and see pictures. All manner of camera work will be discussed, including street photography, lens use, finding good light, night shooting, off camera flash on the fly, and then of course, downloading and critiques. All done in a couple of the most beautiful cities in the world. Here's the link.
The two city adventure will be helmed by the irrepressible Liza Politi, an award winning producer, film maker and organizational force of nature. Given her arranging and inspired direction, our days will be filled with visual possibilities. Not to mention days and evenings of photo chatter and bonding in the legendary coffee houses, restaurants, and, uh, beer halls of these wonderful European destinations. Once again, check it out here.
A great escape for the spring! More tk….
This fall, I head to Mexico twice. First stop is San Miguel, an idyllic place to learn about and experience light. Staged by the Santa Fe Photo Workshops, this will be one of those weeks, working on the fly, unencumbered by lots of gear. Beautiful place, beautiful models, shot with small flash. It's called Traveling Light, Lighting Well, and the dates are Oct. 13-18, 2013, coming up soon.

I've been really liking this a lot lately. Even though it looks neon pink and horrible when you first apply it to your cheeks, it ends up being a pretty, natural-looking flush after lots of blending. I apply this with my fingers right after moisturizer, before my powder foundation. I tried applying this with a small stippling blush and it didn't work well so I recommend fingers to apply. I'm about NC15 and this works on me, but this is so buildable that it would work on much darker skin tones as well. Staying power is pretty good--about 8 hours for me and a lot longer if I apply a powder blush on top. I'm not sure how this will hold up in the summer humidity, but this is perfect for fall and winter for me when my skin is a lot drier.

Wow! This is one scary color in the pot, so I was totally unprepared for how natural it looked once I'd blended it out. I barely touched the Urban Decay blur brush to the surface and then to my skin and that was plenty. This stuff is ultra-pigmented so I bet it would last, even using it every day, for a couple of years, assuming it doesn't dry out.
Once blended, the color looks like the flush I get with a fever and has a lit-from-within quality that lasts all day, in my case as much as 18 hours.
I am very impressed!
HG product for me (I have pale, light olive skin for reference). I have this blush in Hot Pink and Red, and Hot Pink blends much more easily than the color Red does, although both give beautiful colors. I have always been in love with natural makeup looks; I've always wanted to be able to do the "I wake up this perfect!" effortless makeup look, and this product brings me one step closer to it. It gives me the same color on my cheeks that naturally blushing would give me.
Now you may get scared the first time you use this. The other reviewers aren't lying when they say you only need to barely touch your fingertip/stipple brush into the blush. If you do anymore than that, then of course it will be too much. I like to dip two fingertips into the pot once, and then I BLEND (this is very important) until it looks natural, and then I do 1-2 more thin layers of that so it lasts all day.
It is the longest lasting and most natural looking blush I have ever used.
I have a theory that the brightest/most vibrant blushes are the ones that look most natural on the skin (I have yet to meet a person that naturally blushes a dusty rose). That holds true with Hot Pink, which is the perfect name for this shade.
It's almost frightening in the pan, and it can be frightening on the cheeks in that it's quite easy to overapply. This stuff is crazily pigmented and a little goes a loooooong way. I don't expect to have to repurchase for a while yet.
The formula, though! THE FORMULA. It's the butteriest, creamiest cream blush I've ever encountered. I use my fingers to apply and the warmth of my fingers makes the blush melt just a tiny bit. So of course it melts into the skin BEAUTIFULLY. It's smooth and blends like a dream but lasts all day (I applied it this morning - on my bare cheek, no primer or anything - at 9:30 and it's now 10:40 at night and it still looks flawless).
And, as I mentioned before, it gives this super healthy-looking flush. A lot more natural looking than I think a lot of people would expect from such a bright blush. I was wearing this a few weeks ago whilst very very sick and even my dad commented, "if it's any consolation, you look great. You have a very healthy looking flush." EVEN MY DAD NOTICED. That's impressive blush.

I am crazy about cream blushes, they are very natural and I always get compliments about how my skin looks with them! This cream blush is no different.
I think that this color is multi-tasking/multi-look because it is highly and extremely pigmented.
I apply a very small amount to my cheeks using my finger and voila! I get a glowy and flushed pinky cheeks that is great for day time. It can also be built up by adding more for an intense color on the cheeks for evening, it's your choice anyways.
I think that this color specifically really lasts a long time, more than the other colors (I have another one in CB02 Natural). And boy, I have bought this years ago but I still have 95% of it, that's unbelievable! You really get what you pay for and more! I think I might age with it!
What I don't like about it is the packaging, it's rather a cheap plastic and can be easily broken, but that didn't happen to me anyways even though I carry it in my bag all the time.
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
OK so I know it looks crazy in the pan and when with a finger swatch. But believe me if you use this right, you won't be sorry. It is very pigmented and a little goes a long way. The tiniest tiniest amount is enough per application. You have to use a light hand an blend out well but you can get achieve a really beautiful natural flattering healthy glow with this product. I have yellow undertones I range from NC30 to NC40 depending on how tanned I am for your reference. but I feel like this would look good on a wide range of skin undertones.
I used to shy away from cream blushes because I didn't know how to apply them evenly. But since using a duo fiber stippling brush and a light hand they've been really fun to use. You should definitely try if you like cream blushes.
WOW!!!! JUST WOW! This is an amazing product!!! It is very creamy and bendable just like any cream blush should be!! IT is very very very pigmented so you must be extra careful when you apply it... the tiniest amount of this is enough! It looks great on my nc10-15 skin and it gives me that porcelain-doll look which I love! I don't think it would be very good for summer but at wintertime it is almost in my everyday basis!
Love this blush! I bought it based off of reviews on here, and I'm so glad I did. Because it's super-pigmented, it's a great deal--you get a TON of product for a pretty cheap price--but it can also be tricky to apply if you're not good at moderation. :-)
I lightly tap my ring finger and middle finger a couple of times on the surface of the blush, then tap onto my skin and smooth the cream into my cheeks with my fingers. It melts in easily and gives a really lovely, youthful glow to cheeks and lasts all day on me. My only complaint is it'd be nice to have a mirror on the compact somewhere, but that won't stop me from buying more of this--if I ever run out!
I bought this based on reviews here and I love it. I have avoided cream blushes because I thought they would be difficult to work with but I don't think this one is a problem.
It is pretty pigmented, but easy to blend. I usually use a stippling brush and just gradually add more as I need it. I was intimidated by Hot Pink but it gives me the perfect rosy glow. I have no problems getting all day wear out of it in the winter.

Summary: Has the standards movement in the United States led to improved classroom instruction and effective assessment? In too many cases, the answer is no. As authors Robert J. Marzano and Mark W. Haystead explain, two major reasons account for this situation: state and national standards documents typically identify far more content than teachers can actually teach during a school year, and the standards are not written in a manner that supports effective instruction and a ...show moressessment.
In Making Standards Useful in the Classroom, Marzano and Haystead present a way to convert standards documents into a format that teachers can actually use to guide instruction and to create meaningful formative assessments. In Part I of this practical guide, teachers, administrators, and curriculum specialists will find answers to questions such as these:
Part II of the book consists of scoring scales with sample measurement topics for language arts, math, science, and social studies for kindergarten through 8th grade, and sample measurement topics for life skills for kindergarten through 12th grade. Using the samples as a guide, districts and schools can create their own systems for translating standards into usefulcomponents of effective instruction and formative assessment that truly drive student learning. ...show less

I think he's a good coach but the Jets have been a consistant cluster in every postion above him. When Michael Vick is an option at QB and the Geno Smith you're screwed as a coach. |
1 week 1 hour ago | ? |
All vandalisim is the same and it's all stupid, selfish and reckless behavior regardless of the circumstances. |
1 week 1 day ago | Yup |
I remember something like that too. Just look at the faces of a lot of college coaches during their bowl games, they look just exhausted. I've driven by the football building at both Michigan and MSU early in the morning and have seen the head coaches parking spot filled. Then driven by both in the evening and the same nice SUV's were still there and that was in the spring. Even the number of games is getting closer to the NFL since OSU and Oregon played 15 games last year. |
1 week 2 days ago | +1 |
And not wearing a shirt. |
1 week 2 days ago | Disagree |
I completely disagree about the NFL being more of a grind. While I acknowledge I haven't coached in either the NFL or NCAA I don't think Jimmy is in touch with reality when it comes to the gap between the elite and the rest of college football. There is a reason teams like Boise St., Ole Miss, Michigan State, and Arizona win 10 games, knocking off programs like Oklahoma, Alabama, Michigan, and Oregon. Its because that gap that existed in his days at Miami are long gone with scholarship reductions and TV exposure. Kids across the country now see teams they never would have before like Boise, Oregon and MSU every week while in Johnsons time teams like Miami and Michigan were only on TV maybe 4-5 times per year. Jimmy Johnson hasn't been part of the year long grind that is modern recruiting and fundraising either. Sure there are "dead" periods where the coaches cannot actively recruit but I believe they can call the kids coaches and parents. All teams now recruit nationally where that wasn't so much true when Johnson coached so while there a more resources for todays college coach they are now spread across the country. Yeah, he's talked with Urban Meyer but to him the grind isn't a big deal because he's been at a while and is used to it. So if Urban tells him he spends a lot more time with his family now than at Flordia I bet it's still not as much as Johnson thinks. It sounds like Jimmy is trying to get some attention by saying things that are very debatable. |
1 week 6 days ago | Not the first fetish |
It's similar to the weird short sleeves thing with Brady. |
1 week 6 days ago | Matt Cassel |
Granted he went in the 7th round but he never started a game let alone beat Alabama or win a NC as a starter. He had attempted fewer passes and never threw for a TD in his career at USC. Cardale Jones looks like a 6 time Heisman winner compared to Matt Cassel comming out of college. |
1 week 6 days ago | Arizona depth chart |
He was the 3rd or 4th QB on the Wildcats depth chart behind a redshirt freshman starter, a senior USC transfer and another freshman. He's probably an ok QB but not a power 5 conference starter. A place like Nevada, UTEP, or Fresno St. look as if they would be a better fit than any decent team on a major conference. |
3 weeks 18 hours ago | This might be weird but... |
I look at it somewhat like a family. Coordinators and position coaches are kind of like an uncle that you trust and can have a more relaxed relationship where the head coach is more like a father figure. Someone who will handle discipline/accountability, take on the big issues with you and someone who you respect but still have a little fear of and is clearly in command. I've read about guys at other programs talking about how their HC was like a father and how they were a little bit afraid of him but loved and respected him. That's what made them play hard for the HC because they didn't want to disappoint him. |
4 weeks 1 day ago | Keep, bring back, delete |
Keep the BBQ for sure as it has been very helpful to recruiting and other schools are now doing something similar. Bring back accountability. If it takes season long captains, getting chewed out on the sideline a little, or in practice just do that. Delete the Legends jersey. Keep the lockers and whatever else goes into it but on Saturday just have the kids wear THEIR numbers. |
4 weeks 1 day ago | For sure |
Those should and will stay but I don't think they should have to be a special event like in the past. I would be completely ok with it being used in a practical way like early in the season when it's 90 degrees during the day. Just use it on a power 5 non-conference game like UCLA or Oklahoma. |
4 weeks 1 day ago | '05-'07 student section |
Agree on that point. It seemed a bit lame back then but right now it just looks stupid. There was a small but vocal group that tried to get a "First down, fuck yeah!" chant going for about half the year in 2006. It grew for about 3 weeks and was rightfully crushed. |
4 weeks 1 day ago | No clocks |
At least no dedicated clocks for two teams. If they just used a clock for each opponent thats ok, but I would say the clocks for MSU and OSU have been pretty ineffective given that past few years. I'm sure there are other ways to motivate the kids and I'm sure Harbaugh has his own methods which likely will be much different than Bradys. |
4 weeks 1 day ago | Stake |
I didn't have an issue with Hoke calling Dantonio and apologizing but the statement released to the public was way too much. In fact it was really strange. Few coaches would have allowed that and if Hoke didn't want that out there it wouldn't have happened. It should have just been between Brady and Dantonio instead of a public affair. The worst part of the whole thing, worse than "pussification" was the "I think I was aware but not fully aware" statement. |
4 weeks 3 days ago | Good Game |
I root for all the Big Ten teams in non-conference games especially given how down the conference has been the last few years. |
4 weeks 3 days ago | Weeelllll |
The Yellow and Blue is name of the alma mater. |
4 weeks 3 days ago | Agreed! |
It allows MSU to retain it's successful defensive staff which is good for incomming recruits. Also, MSU does not have the financial resources to miss on a coaching hire. You could argue the years prior to Dantonio put them behind financially for his first 4-5 years as the head coach. MSU cannot really afford to take many chances with things going well on the field and in the donor base. Bennett has been highly regarded as a coach well and is one of their lead recruiters so it makes sense on many levels. |
4 weeks 3 days ago | Maybe not here |
But it's happend on other posts already and friends I've talked to. Some have Michigan "in the hunt" for next year. I get the excitement but we as a fan base have been excited before and have been let down. Thats all I'm saying and I get some people don't like that but it's just how I feel. |
4 weeks 3 days ago | Maybe |
If they were smaller, simpler then maybe. A small "block M" would be good, maize for athletic, blue for academic like Georgias white and black bones. I would go for that but if it's going to like those from the past then no. |
4 weeks 3 days ago | Off topic |
No where does the poster say RR was great at Michigan. Actually your post somewhat backs up his point that until a coach gets here we really have no clue how they will do. I understand the excitement but folks need to dial it back a little and not expect playoff berths in 1-2 years. If they happen great if not and it ends up being 9-10 wins after three years no one should panic. |
4 weeks 6 days ago | Why Pitt? |
It's a perfect fit for many reasons already mentioned but I'll add another. It will be a easy transition from Pitt to Michigan State when Mark Dantonio decides to retire given the similar recruiting territories. Mark Dantonio may coach 6-7 more years and by then if things go well Narduzzi could have a good staff around him, plenty of head coaching experience, and graduated a couple of his recruiting classes. So if Narduzzi wants the MSU job in a few years Pitt is perfect. |
5 weeks 5 days ago | Yes |
Oh I know, I was just using examples of how his clauses really helped boost his pay. Few athletic departments can give the money Michigan can so I used that as a basis to show how the contract figures could have been based off incentives, not base salary. |
5 weeks 5 days ago | Total possible earnings? |
Maybe the figure was for a total possible amount he could earn and not a base salary? Given Saban made over $7 million after having a great year and Dantonio made over $5 million after winning the Big Ten championship and Rose Bowl I'm just guessing the $8 million figure could have been if he won a National Championship, Rose Bowl, conference titel, etc. |
6 weeks 2 hours ago | Recruiting |
I really don't believe recruiting has been negatively affected by having Adidas versus Nike. The recruiting classes for football have been really good when not dealing with coaching changes and basketball has landed studs like McGary, Burke and Irvin. What recruits really care about is winning not the jersey. If it were about jerseys Oregon would be God. Notre Dame also recruited well with Adidas and UCLA football is about as good as they've been in my lifetime. So while a kid may prefer Nike if that is what drives them to pick one school over the other then good luck to him because those are interesting priorites. |
6 weeks 1 day ago | It works |
I would would have agreed with that last year but a lot of good teams have them now. A short list of teams with co-offensive coordinators: Michigan State, Arizona, Florida State, Ohio State, Clemson, TCU, Auburn, Miss State,and Ole Miss. Right now 7 of the top 10 teams have co-coordinators and some even have co-coordinators on both sides of the ball which I found interesting. |
7 weeks 19 hours ago | The definition |
This is the definition of "high motor". In a lot of those tackles you can see that he wraps the ball carrier up and then tries for the strip. Rodriguez was raving about how coachable he is as well which I think is important and probably easier to do with a 2 or 3 star recruit. |
7 weeks 19 hours ago | Agreed! |
Watching that kid find the hole seemingly ever time for tackles in the backfield was impressive. It also seemed like he was in on every play that wasn't a deep pass. |
7 weeks 2 days ago | Bordering? |
With all due respect, that point is already passed and it's really frightening. |
7 weeks 4 days ago | And |

Comment: Re:Wouldn't a sorted table have been more useful ? (Score 2) 135
Presenting things as maps is the 21st century method of establishing credibility. It is much cheaper than actually creating an informative graphic with useful data, a la Edward Tufte.
As has been mentioned, this data is not all that useful. One still pretty much makes more money in places that are more expensive to live, but not nearly enough. For instance, in San Jose one might make 25% more than in Houston. On the other hand, the median price for a home in San Jose is 5 times the average pay listed on the site, while in Houston the median price for a home is only 1.4 times the average pay listed on the site. Doing this type of normalization is simple, but does not drive rubes to higher paying jobs that might pay higher commissions to places like Dice.

A tip helped identify five teenagers now facing felony charges related to a holiday vandalism spree that caused more than 200 Billings residents thousands of dollars in damage.
The teens, ranging in age from 14 to 16, are facing felony criminal mischief charges for a spree that resulted in 210 reports of vandalism to vehicles affecting 244 people. Damages are estimated at $86,000 so far.
The teenagers will be charged in Youth Court, said County Attorney Scott Twito during a Monday afternoon press conference.
Suspects are: Tristen A. Birdchief, 14; James L. Eldridge, 14; Kade Edward Gies, 15; Lacroix Dion Plainfeather, 16, and Bryce Waddell, 16.
Birdchief is from Bozeman; the others live in Billings.
Birdchief, Eldridge and Plainfeather also are facing felony arson and arson by accountability charges.
Twito said Gies is in custody at the youth detention facility. The teenagers will be making court appearances over the next several weeks, he said.
The spree began Dec. 22 and continued through the first of January. Billings residents began reporting the incidents after Christmas. Windows were being shot out with BB guns and broken by rocks and baseball bats. Two cars were set fire, and one woman reported her car window was shot out while she was driving.
Over the course of nine days, different groups of the five boys met and spent the late evening and early morning hours damaging car and home windows.
In court records, Waddell told police "they played a game where you got to keep the gun as long as you did not miss a window."
According to court documents, Eldridge told police that they shot out between 150 and 200 vehicle windows with BB guns, damaged between 50 and 100 vehicles with a bat and broke at least three house windows.
Two vehicles burned when fireworks were tossed inside. One of the vehicles apparently belonged to an acquaintance of Eldridge, who "did not like (the victim) because of a comment (they) said about a year ago," according to court documents.
Court records state that Eldridge shot out the window of the car as Birdchief "lit a fountain firework and tossed it into (the victim's) vehicle." Birdchief then "shot a full clip of BBs" into the front residence of the house, court records stated.
Billings police assigned two detectives to the case and called upon the assistance of School Resource officers. Chief Rich St. John said police received numerous tips from the public — one tipster ended up receiving an advertised $1,000 reward.
"One in particular got us headed in the right direction," St. John said. "In conjunction with the investigation by the SROs and the detectives, that is how we were able to identify these people."

Chin, a Temecula, Calif., resident had the easier time getting to the championship. He beat David Johnson, of Palm Bay, Fla., 4 and 3 in the semifinals and won by the same score over Jeff Dennis of Jacksonville, Fla., in the quarterfinals.
I got this far with consistent play, Chin said. I hit a lot of greens and a lot of fairways.
In contrast, Johnson struggled getting to the green. Muffed wedge shots cost him the second and sixth holes. And he pitched a shot over the ninth green on a hole he eventually conceded and put Chin ahead 3-up.
Chin won the 13th hole with a 4-foot birdie putt and a hole later, the match ended when Johnson missed a short putt.
John drives the ball farther than anyone Ive played, Johnson said. And he does well around the greens.
Newman beat Cason Hammock, of Columbus, Ga., winning 3 and 1 in the semifinals. He had won matches in 21 and 24 holes.
Newman of Des Moines, Iowa, led 3-up, but Hammock tied the match on the 15th hole.
I made my share of pars and he came back with a flurry of birdies to tie it, Newman said. I was fortunate that he hit a shot out of bounds on 16.
Newman cashed in on the mistake to take the lead by winning 16 with a bogey putt.
Newman needed 24 holes in his quarterfinal match to defeat Corey Nagy of Charlotte, N.C., 1-up. Newman sank a 3-foot, birdie putt on the No. 6 hole while Nagy missed from eight feet.
I was fortunate in that match, said Newman, who played 21 holes in his third-round match play match to get into the quarterfinals. I got up and down and he didnt.
In the other quarterfinal matches, Johnson beat Kyle Leach, Louisville, Ky., 5 and 4 and Hammock beat Randall Hutchison, Traverse City, Mich., 2 up.

We don't usually play with the expansion maps so I sometimes forget to take them into account. I may change the target location for the kidnappers from the River Docks to any aquatic location in order to take into account the expansion maps. That will change a few other things as well but overall I think it should keep with the theme.
I agree with the problem of space on the board. Any easy fix would be to just discard an ally at random when the kidnapper is successful. I however like the idea of letting the players see a specific ally get kidnapped and then discarded if they choose to do nothing about it. For the same reason I want to keep Ma's Boarding House open. I like the idea of giving players the option to take allies from the deck as normal but now with the risk of the scenario being fulfilled.
I also like the idea of using the jail but I think this scenario gets to rules heavy with it. I have a few other scenarios I am working on and I might use it in one of those.
Thank you for the feedback. =)

In the pending Antonio Banderas/Melanie Griffith divorce, the division of their assets with a combined net worth of $50 million apparently is not an issue. The couple's three dogs are. Who gets custody of the terrier mix and two shepherd-lab mixes that they rescued in February appears to be the most contentious part of the divorce. They are hardly alone.
Increasingly, divorcing couples are fighting over who gets the family pet. A recent survey by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers of its 1,600 members showed a 27 percent increase in custody fights for the family pet. Dogs represented almost 90 percent of the disputes while cats are five percent.
In my practice as a family law attorney, I've seen numerous battles over pet custody and visitation rights. The disputes are usually resolved in one of two ways: through lawyer-assisted mediation where the couple determines who will have custody, or in court, where the judge decides who will have primary custody and what visitation rights to allow.
When deciding on a case, judges consider several factors but usually make the decision based on who spent the most time taking care of the pet and the quality of that care. If children are involved, a judge often awards custody to the parent who has custody of the children. Home and work situations are also taken into account.
It should be noted that not all pet custody cases are the result of a divorce. Anyone who shares the care of an animal with another person may find themselves in a fight for pet custody if the relationship or living arrangement changes.
A more satisfactory solution than squabbling is to decide in advance who will have custody and visitation rights by creating a pet custody agreement or a clause in a prenuptial or post-nuptial agreement.
While we all believe in 'happily ever after,' it is wise to have a fall-back plan, even for Fido and Fluffy, should their owners' relationship end. The treatment of pets in a court of law has historically been to categorize them as 'property' and not as 'family members.' That means court decisions about cats, dogs, birds and other beloved household animals often are not as predictable or sentimental as pet lovers would like. A document containing the preferences and agreements of the owners as to pet 'custody' could help impact their decision.
That said, there is no guarantee that the courts will find pet agreements binding because they are a relatively new concept. It's likely, however, that the written words of caring owners will carry legal weight and help assure Fido or Fluffy an amicable ending, even if or when their 'people' decide to go their separate ways.

Course Reviews
by AfricanDGer on Aug 14, 2010 at 5:03pm
I was favorably impressed with this course. Definitely challenging and fun for more than just amateurs, but it is wide-open enough for beginners not to get frustrated by losing discs.
by Ib6t9n on Jun 3, 2010 at 9:49pm
I was impressed and surprised with how well laid out this course was. The first 6 holes are all similar to each other with trees being the main obstacle but from there the course gets more interesting. You have to be careful on one hole (13 or 15 I think) as right behind the basket it drops off into a river. An overthrow here will likely cost you a disc.
by Longtees on Nov 3, 2009 at 7:30pm
A well designed course with plenty of trees and some elevation. challenging for beginners and fun for pro's.

IN a bid to avoid food-poisoning outbreaks in the festive period, environmental health officers are issuing safety advice.
Philip Mepham, Hambleton and Richmondshire environmental health manager said: "When large quantities of food are bought, stored and cooked, normal hygiene precautions are often forgotten.
"People are cooking for large numbers and trying to store more food than normal."
He advises that food needing to be refrigerated should not be left at room temperature, but rather stored between 0 and five degrees, and raw and cooked foods must be kept separate. Menu plans should be made, use-by dates checked and leftovers eaten within three days. Food should only be reheated once and be served piping hot.

SpiceJet's chief executive officer Neil Mills has reportedly resigned due to differences with the low-cost airline airline's promoter Kalanithi Maran.
People familiar with the development said that Mr. Mills, who had joined SpiceJet in 2010 after leaving FlyDubai, was not happy with the slow pace of the promoter's decisions
However, the source added that Mr. Mills is coming to office regularly as he has not been relieved yet.
Revealing the development, the source said, "Mills is a serious professional. He wasn't too happy here and resigned some days ago. He is still coming to office regularly. and will continue to do so till he is relieved."
According to the sources, Mr. Mills has put in his papers nearly eighteen months before the end of his contract.
Mr. Mills could not be contacted for a comment, while a spokesperson for the airline refused to comment, saying the company didn't comment on rumours or speculation.
SpiceJet's promoters are learned to be unhappy with the top management officials as the carrier has failed to match IndiGo's performance. SpiceJet reported a loss of Rs 191 crore for the financial year of 2012-13, after reporting a huge loss of Rs 606 crore in the previous financial year.

I have four 'Radiant Edger' hostas lining one side of a shrub bed. My husband keeps stepping on and mowing one of them while he is mowing the lawn. He doesn't seem to be able to stop it, even after showing him what's happening multiple times. (Insert pouty face, whiny tone, swear words, etc.) Maybe I should put up a bumper rail? Neon sign? Electric fence? Mwahahahaha! Anyway, this poor plant now has 2 measley leaves on it, and even those are fairly chewed up. Is the plant itself going to be ok and look better next year as long as the root system is intact? Thanks. |

Follow-Up Postings:
Well, you can either start mowing the lawn... Or move the hosta. :) Will it look better next year? No. All that abuse will set it back. Plant needs the leaves to build roots. Of course, it might look better than it does right now. Or it might not return at all. |
I like mocc's idea of putting a price tag on a raised sign...that might help! I have a neighbor who hates the dozen or so huge overgrown Albomarginatas lining his walkway. He complains that they start looking terrible (full sun, no water, no pest control attempts) and mows them to the ground about this time every year. They come back bigger in the spring just to spite him. I know albos are notoriously weed-like in their persistance, but I'd be willing to bet yours will bouce back too. |

Thank you for the input. Here's what the plant used to look like. It's new this year, so it was fairly small to begin with. |
- Posted by flower-frenzy (My Page) on Mon, Jul 22, 13 at 15:13
Here's what it looks like today. I guess it has 4 leaves on it, not 2 as I previously stated. I hope it comes back. |

I edged my beds with seven inch wide landscape blocks. There are walls of the same block, so they fit right in, and the mower wheel goes on the concrete, so I have less to weed-wack. Or you could go with another favorite trick - paint rebar a nice bright color and pound it in. Mine are hose guards - I was dragging hoses over hostas all the time. I use 6 ft. bars, but it comes in 2 foot lengths, just right for a decorative border. |
I have some "decorative fence" pieces that I use for decor in front of my trees in my tree rings. The decorative fence title was what the store called them. It couldn't possibly fence anything, they are just a panel. But I used one at my neighbors to protect their hostas from their hired lawnmower. (The house is owned by siblings that live in three different states, they use it a couple times a year as a quilting retreat.) They have a hosta bed that is overcrowded, but beautiful. Mostly very common hostas, but there are a few they picked up at our arboretum. Anyway, one at the front got mowed over and stepped on several times last year, this year one of my panels is in front on the bed, and it looks great and has worked wonderfully. :) |

Well, I use those ornamental stick-in-the-ground flower bed edgers that are about 10 inches tall, with spikes to put in the ground, over by our roof-sitting neighbor's property line. It was my attempt to keep that bed looking good from both approaches, which I considered BIG OF ME. Well, since it was put in, the guy does not go parallel to the edged bed, he goes back and forth, so he always hits the edgers, and has broken off I don't know how many of them.....I even put down a row of old bricks to allow his lawn mower wheel to ride on the bricks, but he instead rather furiously pushes the power against my edgers. And now, I observed that he is further adding injury to the bed by stepping into it as he turns the mower. I don't get NO RESPECT, I tell you! I am having visions of yucca...the big things called SPANISH DAGGERS, if you know the plant. They like it dry and hot, and you won't see anyone stepping near them for any reason. He knocked over one of my Italian cypress, root ball totally out of the ground. And he moved the edging and brick crooked so there was more space on his side up next to the wooden fencing. What am I going to do with this guy? As soon as we can, I think we'll put up a real fence too tall to easily step across, or which can rattle his eye teeth if he rams his lawn mower into it. We're waiting for a break in the heat, and I might get the fence folks to do it for me, cement cylinders raising it above the front edge of his lawn mower...unless he jams it beneath the sections of fencing and rips off his carburator. This particular neighbor is addicted to his lawn. His poor wife has an 18" wide flower bed against the house across the front which faces west. No flowers anywhere else in the whole yard. Not even foundation plantings. I really try not to look like a fortress over here. I like to share the beauty of a garden, and appreciate the compliments of the bikers, joggers, walkers, and sometimes drivers who wave or smile or speak as they pass by. Although my beds are not formally laid out (except that bed adjacent this neighbor), they manage to look pretty good. So yeah, this neighbor gives me the lawn mower blues too. |

Mocc you need an 8' fence there. Hire a crew. Flower as a quick fix I use a tomato cage. Lots of great colors. Can't step on them and no man will want to mow one up. Paula Long live the New Prince! |
- Posted by Don_in_Colorado 6a (My Page) on Mon, Jul 22, 13 at 18:23
I agree with Paula, Mocc. 8' fence sounds like a good idea. And perhaps tripwires for his roof, send him flying off of it when he's being a nosy creeper. heh heh heh... Flower-Frenzy...He KEEPS doing it?? What the heck? As Aretha Franklin would say...'R-E-S-P-E-C-T'! ; ) Cheers, |
Flower-Frenzy, you could be right that your DH may be sending a subtle message with the mower mishaps. Maybe if you mowed the first round, trimming the grass by the hosta bed, it'd humble him enough to be more careful. Moccasin, all I have to say about that guy is: good fences make good neighbors. |
Get yourself 4 or so fist size rocks and place them on top of the soil where he should not mow. If he mows there the rocks will create a lot of noise in his mower deck. Single rocks you should be able to buy at a nursery. I just picked one such rock up with my mower and needed to file the mower blade sharp by hand. Bernd |
- Posted by flower-frenzy 8 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 22, 13 at 20:29
Wow! Thank you for all of your great ideas. I especially like Bernd's idea of placing fist sized rocks in front of the hostas. Radiant Edger is pretty small, but that size of rock wouldn't obscure the view to where I couldn't enjoy them. Don, yes he keeps doing it. He swears that this time wasn't him and something else must have happened. (It's kind of obvious when there's a freshly mowed pile of grass where the leaves of my hosta should be. Lol) I believe he is trying his best to be really careful. He's just one if those people that tries to be really careful but somehow isn't, if that makes any sense. |
- Posted by Don_in_Colorado 6a (My Page) on Mon, Jul 22, 13 at 21:41
I agree. The Bernd-rock idea is a good one. Don B. |
- Posted by almosthooked 5 a BC (My Page) on Mon, Jul 22, 13 at 22:30
The rock idea came to mind for me too . Also you can threaten to buy a mature one to replace it for another $25 or so. Leave the price tag on it too. If that doesn't work , throw rocks at him. Just kidding hubby! Accidents do happen |
- Posted by flower-frenzy 8 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 22, 13 at 22:35
Lol...yes, the rocks would come in handy to throw at him later on. (Kidding, of course) |
After catching a rock with a mower he also will get a striped lawn because of part of the blade being dulled. It will be a lasting impression. I must add here, that I did not get hurt during my recent experience with a rock inside my mower. I also wear leather boots when mowing, but the rock did not get slung about, but stayed in place. So be careful teaching your DH how to treat hostas kindly using rocks, and insist that he wears thick leather boots covering his ankles. Bernd |

I like your rock idea too, Berndny. That means I can take up my nice brick, which was there to make it easy for his lawnmower wheel to roll on the edge w/o harming anything. Which he has ignored, of course. A row of those big gravels (what I call them) will teach him some respect. R-E-S-P-E-C-T is where it's at.The recording below was chosen for Stoc......the clip is a live performance in Stockholm in 1968. LOT of energy in this! |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Minnesota Equine Dentistry Legislation
This petition is for anyone who owns a horse, has an interest in horses or believes in protecting our right to choose. The equine dentist that many of us have used for years has been ordered to cease his business by the Minnesota Board of Veterinary Medicine, because he is not a licensed veterinarian. We are asking for your support for the proposed amendment to Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 156.12 removing the practice of equine dentistry from the purview of veterinary medicine. This would allow us to choose who performs dentistry on our animals, much as we are able to choose the person who performs farrier work on our horses. We in no way wish to imply that the equine veterinarian does not have an important role in the care of our horses, but rather that we would prefer the opportunity to choose who we use without interference. We are not restricted to use a veterinarian for farrier work on our horse

I just held the horse and he did the rest. No trauma to my horse it was over in a few minutes. He is the best. If he isn't able to do this then horses will be suffering everywhere. He is dependable, trustworthy, honest and FAIR PRICED. Very well with horses. I would recommend him to anybody if he can still do it that is.

Seconded. I've got one of these 30" behemoths paired with a 24" running 1920x1200. The 24" is great for displaying reference documents or text editing and the 30" is superb for schematics or waveform viewers when doing digital logic simulations. Also, you can arrange 4 good-sized non-overlapping terminal windows pretty easily on a 30" screen.

Aspen Ideas Festival: Better Health as Better Business
"Getting cigarettes out of our stores is a first step to making pharmacies a place where health happens," said Troy Brennan, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of CVS Caremark Corporation, of the company's decision earlier this year to stop selling tobacco products in its stores. In a Spotlight: Health session at the Aspen Ideas Festival last week, Brennan and other business CEOs discussed how making health a priority can lead to better business outcomes.
By decreasing the number of places that consumers are exposed to cigarettes and eliminating the convenience of tobacco, he said that CVS is actively trying to reduce smoking rates in the areas it serves. However, the healthy decision is also good for the company's bottom line—already the decision has had positive business results that it didn't anticipate, including an increase in the company's stock price following the announcement.
"Companies that make health a priority—consumers gravitate toward that," he said. "That's the business incentive."
Joining Brennan in the conversation, Vitality Institute Executive Director Derek Yach added that the private sector needs to complement public efforts when it comes to health and prevention. For example, taxes and increased prices must work in concert to discourage consumers from unhealthy products or behaviors.
"There may be an economic hit in the short term," said Yach of companies that make healthy choices easier. "But in the long term, businesses are going to get an inflow of customers who know that their values are aligned."
Yach also encouraged using County Health Rankings data to understand the underlying risks in each local area, as businesses are uniquely positioned to tailor their interventions to what the surrounding community needs.

Why the planned Koran burning causes outrage and alarm
(Read article summary)To devout Muslims, the Sept. 11 Koran burning proposed by the Florida preacher Terry Jones is akin to burning the word of God. Muslim leaders and US military and civilian officials have asked Jones to reconsider his plan.
Scott Audette/Reuters
The Rev. Terry Jones, pastor of a small evangelical Christian church in Gainesville, Fla., has a legal right to burn the Koran. But understanding why this act, planned for Sept. 11, is so inflammatory, means understanding the special reverence with which devout Muslims view the Koran.
Muslims see it as the uninterrupted, unchangeable, and eternal word of God. Burning the Koran is akin to directly burning the word of God.
What's more, Reverend Jones's planned burning of the Muslim holy book is set for the day after the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting meant to commemorate the time in 610 when Muslims believe the angel Gabriel – the same Gabriel that appears to Daniel in the Old Testament – first appeared to the prophet Muhammad and began "revealing" the Koran to him.
Historians and linguistic scholars view the Koran as the work of Muhammad and his immediate successors, perhaps inspired by earlier Jewish texts.
Muslims, however, believe that the Koran was delivered to the prophet directly from God, from a book that had existed for all time but had been withheld from man until that point. From their religious view, the book was set down in writing without embellishment or error and has been unchanged from the time of the last revelation to Muhammad in 632.
