FIGHT! Home Defense
February 20, 2010
The question is are you willing to bet your life and your family's lives on what you THINK you know about protecting your home? For more info go to: http://www.OhioShootingSports.com Home invasions are on the rise in the United States. Truth of the matter is that over two million homes are broken into EVERY YEAR! The reality of it is that in a ten year period you have a one-in-five chance of your home being invaded. In a twenty year period, you pretty much have a 50/50 chance of your home being broken into. Statistically speaking the most dangerous place for you to be is in your home! OSS feels that it is extremely important for people to learn how to properly setup their home and how to protect those you love. We will provide you guidelines for developing a home invasion plan as well as how to enhance your current plan. As with anything else, Home Defense BEGINS AND ENDS WITH MINDSET! Most people have a false sense of security when it comes to personal safety and home safety. One reason that a lot of people don't have a home invasion plan because they don't think that "it will happen to them". If you don't have a plan or execute that plan ON A REGULAR BASIS WITH THOSE YOU LOVE, then HOW do you expect to execute that plan when your lives may be in danger? Now, whether or not guns are present in your home doesn't mean there are not other tools available in the home to defend yourself with. Most of the information is valid whether or not you have a gun or guns in your residence. One of the most important things you can learn how to deter burglars from choosing your home. Our Home Defense Course is designed to deal with three situations that you are likely to encounter. 1. The first one is that you are awakened in the middle of the night due to some sort of odd noise. 2. Secondly, you come home and find your home broken into. 3. Lastly, you enter your home unaware there is an intruder. Home Defense Course Curriculum: • Four layers of home defense. • Discuss the three types of burglars. • Communication: with loved ones and intruders • Light intimidation (including the use of handheld tactical lights) • Setting up your home for tactical advantages (including furniture, mirrors, etc.) • Items needed in a safe room and how to position your loved ones in the safe room to reduce the likelihood of them being in the line of fire. • How to effectively search your home with a handgun, shotgun, or carbine. • What you need to take with you when searching your home. • How to move quietly throughout your dwelling. • The role of the "significant" other in a home defense plan. • Audio and visual target indicators • Gun retention techniques for handgun, shotgun, and carbine. • And much more…The Group Home Defense Course is an 8 hour course. The question is are you willing to bet your life and your family's lives on what you THINK you know about protecting your home? Even if you learn just a couple of things that you didn't know, it was well worth the price of the course which is a mere $110.00. |

FIGHT! Defensive Knife
March 9, 2010
A large number of people carry knives on a daily basis. This course is designed to learn the basics of how to use your knife in a life threatening situation. Since knives are legal most everywhere this course is a must for those who carry a knife on a daily basis. http://www.OhioShootingSports.com Fighting someone who has a knife is a very dangerous thing to do. Your opponent does not have to be skilled with a knife in order to inflict serious injury upon you. Contrary to popular belief, you are more likely to die from a cut or a stab than from being shot. Many people believe that if you cut or stab someone "in the right spot" they will die instantly. Truth of the matter is that they may have up to 90 seconds to injure or kill you although their wound may be fatal. Are you willing to bet your life on what you think you know about how to use a knife in a fight? This course is a must for anyone who carries a knife for self-defense purposes. We will cover stance, cutting patterns, blocks and deflections including empty hand defense. You will have the opportunity to spar with others in order to practice your skills. This course is a one day course and costs $125 Course length is 8 hrs. Course Curriculum. • Mindset • Discussion regarding the elements of the fight. • Understanding the limitations of the knife in a fight. • Understanding how most life threatening situations really take place. • How to properly deploy your tool into the fight. • Fighting postures • Proper grips • Targeting • Distancing • Timing • Angling • How to deal with multiple attackers with knives or guns. • And much more…http://www.OhioShootingSports.com |

FIGHT! Unarmed Combatives - April 10, 2010 - www.OhioShootingSports.com
Most people cannot carry a gun legally everywhere they go. Therefore, it is important that you know how to defend yourself unarmed because odds are you may very well find yourself without a firearm when you are confronted by one or more assailants.
Fights almost never take place how most people think they do. That is, a fight is never fair and you will probably find yourself reacting to the situation very quickly as opposed to being able to think things through. Unlike most martial arts systems which rely on speed, power, and stamina, we will teach you how to defend yourself using natural body dynamics using the least amount of effort possible with maximum results. As we get older our bodies do not move the same, and quite honestly some of us get out of shape. So, what are our options for defending ourselves? Well, that is exactly what this course is about. Participants are not required to be "physically fit" although it is an advantage. In addition, a fight is not a toe-to-toe event. It is unlikely that you will be able to pull off some fancy technique that you may have learned in some martial arts system. Ideally you want to end the fight as quickly as possible. Our unarmed combatives course is designed to accomplish that goal. However, it is important that you have good fundamental skills to build upon. We will teach you body dynamics that you can potentially knock someone back several feet and end the fight literally with one blow! In other words, all of the "flashy" things you may have learned in a martial arts system probably doesn't work in the real deal. If you don't have any martial arts background… GREAT! We will train you from the ground up - literally. Course Curriculum. • Mindset • Understanding the elements of a fight • Rituals of attack • How fights really take place. • Fighting postures • Distancing (close, medium, and long) • Timing (relative to distancing) • Angling (Directions of movement) • Punching and kicking effectively. No fancy kicks here! • Elbow strikes • Balance points and how to break someone's balance • Falling to the ground safely and getting back up. • And much more… http://www.OhioShootingSports.com |

Aim Fast Hit Fast with Todd Louis Green at the OKC gun club May 1-2
I'll be hosting Todd Louis Green at the OKC gun club on May 1-2,2010.
The class will be Aim Fast Hit Fast. You can contact me at my Email, email@example.com . This is going to one fun class!! Class Announcement Dates: 1-2 May 2010 Cost: $375 Non-refundable deposit of $200 due by 1-Apr-10 Instructor: Todd Louis Green Location: Oklahoma City, OK Range: Oklahoma City Gun Club Range fee: $25 for non club members Class size: maximum 12 Class Description: Aim Fast, Hit Fast is intended to pick up where most marksmanship training ends. All shooting involves a balance between accuracy and speed. Off the practice range, a shooter does not get to choose how much time he will get to break a shot … shooting becomes reactive and speed is determined by the situation rather than comfort or habit. The goal of this class is twofold. First, to understand the critical balance between accuracy and speed for each individual shooter. Second, to improve each shooter's ability to deliver accurate, rapid fire in shorter timeframes to maximize his effectiveness shooting a pistol under stress. Skills to be covered include marksmanship, presentation from the holster, reloads, multiple targets, and shooting on the move. Prerequisites: This is a fast-paced class suited to shooters who have already achieved proficiency with a handgun. At a minimum, prospective students should be capable of performing the following drill(s) on demand: • Fire and hit a 3×5 card at 5 yards on demand (both double and single action as appropriate) • Draw, fire 1 round, reload, fire 2 rounds (3 hits on 8" circle) at 7 yards in eight seconds Individuals who cannot meet these requirements at the beginning of class will not be able to keep up with the fast and demanding pace of instruction. Equipment Needed: • Reliable semiauto handgun • Duty, range, or concealment holster with suitable gunbelt • Enough magazines, pouches, etc., to carry a minimum of 50 rounds to the firing line • Minimum 1,000 rounds of ammunition (1,200+ recommended; bring more, shoot more) • Wrap-around eye protection; ear protection; brimmed hat Instructor: Todd Louis Green has worked in the firearms industry since 1998, including instructing for the NRA Range, Beretta, and SIG-Sauer. He has over 1,000 hours of firearms and combatives training from such prestigious trainers as Ken Hackathorn, Ernest Langdon, Larry Vickers, SIG Academy, and Blackwater. A 3-time "Advanced" rated shooter at Rogers Shooting School, Todd is also a graduate of the NRA Tactical Pistol Instructor Development program and a 3 division Master-ranked IDPA competitor. Todd is a certified SIGARMS, Beretta, and Glock armorer; certified Simunition force-on-force instructor; and certified Emergency First Responder. He is also a long time member of IALEFI, IDPA, and USPSA. Please contact Spencer Keepers (firstname.lastname@example.com) with any questions or to reserve your spot for this course. |

CO/WY - Tactical Pistol Class May 22/23 2010
Upfront disclaimer, I don't work for CSAT, nor is CSAT teaching this class. I simply passed their tactical pistol instructors course in October, so I'm offering this as a CSAT certified instructor.
There was a thread kicking around on pistol courses over on AR15 a few days ago and I chimed in. There were some posts and PMs expressing interest in me teaching the course that I learned at CSAT in October. I'm thinking probably in either the Mar-May time frame. This will be held in the north Denver area, approximately 160th and I-25. Some of this is to test out new equipment (video) and a couple of other things, so the cost will be minimal, (under 100.00, mostly to cover targets, materials, etc). You'll have to have modern, functional equipment and a fair amount of ammo (700 - 1000 rds). An important part is that unlike previous range sessions, this will have to be 2 consecutive weekend days, so if you can't commit to that, please don't speak up. Approximate gear list will be: - Pistol with 3 magazines (5 or more suggested) - Belt with holster and magazine pouches (quality Kydex such as CompTac, Raven Concealment, Bladetech suggested) - Weapon cleaning kit (cleaning rod, bore brushes, patches, rags, cleaning & lubricating oil, toothbrush) - Hat, Rain or inclement weather gear - Wraparound Eye and ELECTRONIC Ear protection (electronic ear pro is under 50.00 now) - Water / Snacks (we'll take an hour lunch break around noon, but we do NOT LEAVE THE RANGE) - Sun Screen (non-greasy or water resistant recommended) I suggest that you wear comfortable shoes, and clothing that you don't mind getting dirty. Here is a list of folks currently signed up. Due to range size and limited personnel resources, we're limited to ten folks per class. The first class is full, but I'm building a standby list and we're already discussing a second class. Please let me know if you're interested andif so, send me an email so that I can put you on the distro list. 1) Wulf202 (in person) 2) Parf (in person) 3) mah827 (AR15 01-01-2010 13:19mst) 4) BadShot (COAR15 01-01-2010 14:38mst) 5) HBARLeatherneck (AR15 01-01-2010 15:30mst) 6) Rampy (AR15Armory 01-01-2010 17:24mst) 7) Vern23 (AR15 01-01-2010 19:04mst) 8) jim02 (AR15 01-01-2010 18:48mst) 9) longrange2 (AR15 01-01-2010 22:33mst) 10) thedave1164 (AR15 01-02-2010 20:33mst) Standby list: 11) Ridge_Runner_5 (AR15 01-02-2010 20:33mst) 12) Batteriesnare (COAR15 01-02-2010 21:35mst) 13) +1 Standby for MAH827 (AR15 01-02-2010 22:30mst) 14) lowbeyond (AR15 01-03-2010 15:21mst) 15) 9mmJ (AR15 01-07-2010 09:45mst) 16) RedBlueLitez (AR15 01-07-2010 22:58mst) 17) ar15shooter (COAR15 01-08-2010 08:36mst) 18) trlcavscout (COAR15 01-10-2010 21:11mst) 19) jz2008 (COAR15 01-11-2010 0943mst) 20) peon roach (COAR15 01-11-2010 21:14mst) 21) razor11056 (AR15 01-13-2010 13:45mst) 22) welkers (COAR15 01-13-2010 16:06mst) Please feel free to let me know what comments/questions you have by PM or email so as not to clutter up this thread.

New Training Technology
Hey everyone,
I'm currently a student at UCLA's business school and I'm doing some research for an idea in competitive shooting training. It's a new technology developed in cooperation with the Marines near San Diego to train recruits and accelerate their marksmanship skills. It monitors EEG, EKG and breathing rates to help a user identify the optimal moment to take their shot. Proven successful in research, the Marines have recently implemented it into Private level and upward training. We think it has potential in competitive shooting and law enforcement training. What we need is a little market research to gauge interest. So we developed a short questionnaire (that does not require nor collect personal information) but will tell us a little bit about what the average shooters are interested in. It takes less than 5 minutes and has pictures of the product. I appreciate anyone who can take a moment to answer it. The link: http://ucla.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV...8ghm&SVID=Prod As a side note, this is a legitimate request for an education based research project. If you are not interested, please disregard. But thanks in advance to anyone who can contribute. Rob Rubio UCLA Anderson School of Management Class of 2010 |

Bill Jeans Rifle Course: Boise, Idaho May 21-23
Bill Jeans (Morrigan Consulting; www.morr-con.com )will be teaching a battle rifle class near Boise May 21-23, 2010. The class will be held in Emmett, Idaho, about 30 miles from Boise. Please contact me for further information: benglandcom.2 AT gmail.com
This intense course will supplement the student's existing self-defense capabilities with the ability to strike a solid decisive blow at distance through use of the full-caliber battle rifle. The carbine, shotgun and pistol all have their place, but the full power rifle is the Queen of Battle. Course includes practical marksmanship, ballistics, gunhandling, continuity of fire, malfunction clearance, mental conditioning for combat, and more. Suitable rifles in this category include but are not limited to the M-1 Garand, M1A, FN FAL, HK 91, etc. Iron or optic sights are acceptable. Bolt action rifles are permitted, but not recommended. This is not a competition oriented course but is focused primarily on the use of the semi-automatic .30 caliber battle rifle for defensive purposes and is equally suited to law enforcement and private citizens. Most of the training will be at distances of 0-100 yards, but firing will extend out to 300 yards if rifles and sights permit. Carbine-class rifles (AR-15, 5.56 NATO, 7.62x39) are welcome, but call if in doubt. Pistol transitions will be employed. Course fee is $500. Ammunition requirements is 400 rounds rifle, 50 rounds pistol MINIMUM. Bill Jeans is a Marine Corps Vietnam veteran, long-term law-enforcement officer, and SWAT operator. He has been a firearms instructor since 1980 and is a former Rangemaster at Gunsite, besides teaching at Thunder Ranch. |

Israeli Combat Training. South Florida
Internet forums are a hard platform to get a point across as people have no feel for the intensity, the training or the combat mindset involved with Israeli Combat Training.
I invite and challenge anyone who has an interest in taking what they know about tactical shooting and combat mindset to a level that will allow them to push through the extreme psycological and physical stress of an attack. I train you to attack your attackers at every opportunity and to never give up. Israeli Combat Training is not focused only on making sure you survive a fight. Our focus is to train you to the point where when everyone else is running away from the active shooter attack, you are running towards the attack in order to prevent further killing of innocents. Not Rambo training...not hero training. Combat Training based on Israeli counter terror techniques. If this is a level of mental and physical training you are searching for, please contact me for additional details. Money tight? Don't pay me. If you like the training session, we can work out payment details for months to come. I do not care about immediate payment and I trust in your honesty. This is my passion and this is what I do best. I spent the better part of my adult life in Israel working with the security establishment (IDF infantry and Israeli Border Police.) That alone does not mean I am worth a damn but that is my experience. Again, I challenge you to test me and I expect you to train hard and fight for your life. Come and visit my website. Ask questions. Ben Goldstein Founder & Head Instructor www.IsraeliCombatTraining.com Training sessions offered daily in the evening as well as on Sundays all over South Florida. Training is also offered every 2 months near Memphis TN.

Awerbuck Stage II Handgun, June 4-6, mid Atlantic region-WV
Louis Awerbuck of Yavapai Firearms Academy, Ltd. ("YFA") will hold his Tactical Handgun-Stage II class at the Anvil Rock tactical range near Lewisburg, WV, June 4-6, 2010, (FRI.-SAT.-SUN.). The class is not a basic course and requires his tactical Stage I handgun course or the equivalent as a prerequisite. There are numerous other courses from several good instructors that can satisfy the requirement. The YFA website is www.yfainc.com for more information on Awerbuck, his training philosophy, course description, often imitated moving target systems and more.
All Awerbuck courses are defensive fighting with a firearm instruction, not solely shooting oriented. Tactical Stage II handgun uses a relatively high round count in YFA classes, and it encompasses practical marksmanship, gun-handling and tactical thinking. This is an opportunity to refresh your skill set for CCW carry, improve rusty skills from prior training and going beyond the basic level in tactical training within the Awerbuck training philosophy and technique. The class costs $550 per space with an application and deposit of $325 received six weeks before course start. The ammunition guidelines are 800 rounds for the primary handgun and 150 for your back up handgun. Depending on the individual participant, some may expend a total of 800 rounds with primary and back up; others may shoot more or less. The range is an excellent facility for this kind of training and charges a daily range fee of $25. Class sign up is through the class coordinator who can be reached at email@example.com or go to the website schedule section for more information at http://www.yfainc.com/schedule.html . Awerbuck is excellent at diagnosing and remedying shooters' problems in equipment and/or technique. For those interested in the tactical Handgun-Stage I, the prerequisite for any more advanced classes, there will be a tactical Stage I handgun at this same facility September 10-12, 2010. |

I have used a butter slicer for several years, my old one was a cheap flimsy one, I was in the market for something more sturdy. The one I purchased from Cooking.com is very well made and is 18/10 stainless! As well as slicing butter I have used it for slicing cheese. I like this slicer so well that I purchased 5 to give as gifts.This is a great buy.
I recommend this product. -
Such a timesaver!
I make a lot of scones and biscuits, all of which need to have butter cut up into small chunks. I can accomplish this quickly, neatly and without greasy hands by making use of this excellent butter slicer. This is a sturdy kitchen tool, with strong wire that cuts even quite hard butter. Of course, I can slice butter pats for use with the slicer once my scones or biscuits have been removed from the oven. A very useful tool!
I recommend this product. -
Nice product
This butter slicer is a very nice kitchen tool. The precise measurements are ideal for that , "Just a pat" of butter for your bread or for use in baking when you need to just add a little at a time. Either use you will be very pleased with this item. No problem so far with it being washed in the dishwasher.
I recommend this product.

'Son of Sardar's' much guarded suspense on Juhi Chawla revealed when the actress landed in Patiala to take part in the ongoing shoot. Not only Juhi, Mukul Dev and Sonu Sood too have prominent roles to essay.
Finally, there is clarity in the sequence of Ajay Devgn's " Son of Sardar". Starting with Juhi Chawla, whose name appeared in the list of leading ladies, now it's clear that she has a role in the film, opposite Sanjay Dutt.
The buzz was confirmed when Juhi arrived at the Chandigarh airport with the other actress, Sonakshi Sinha on November 29 and the two headed to Patiala where the shooting is taking place. Also, there's new addition to the tale. We hear actor Mukul Dev too has a vital role, and so does Vindoo Dara Singh. Another name, which did rounds was of Sonu Sood. He too arrived in Patiala a few days back, hence substantiating the buzz. A source said, "Mukul, Sanjay and Vindoo play real brothers in the film while Ajay belongs to a separate faction of the village."

Had I known the Pelle...
Had I known the Pelle Leather Journal would go out of production and become
unavailable, I would have bought many more of them. Sure, the design is so
simple I could make my own version (and I will) but something about the actual
Pelle product is worth the purchase. I will miss my Pelle Journal when I run out
of inserts... I did have the luck of foresight to buy a few extra inserts. I'm
very careful with what I put in them. The leather journal itself will out-live
the rest of the supplies and I will be forced to adopt a different product and
page layout format.
I would like to thank Jetpens.com for exposing me to this product and encourage them to find a replacement to include in their big giant collection of other great stuff :) |

Would Not Change A Thing...

Would Not Change A Thing...
Ok, I would change two things but I'm always finding trouble with things, it's actually my job! First, this pencil is much nicer in person than the (really good) pictures here on Jetpens make it look. I was very happy the first moment I had it out of it's box! I intend this to be a daily-carry pencil, most likely a companion to my Fisher Space Pen and my Ohto Rook. Now about my proposed changes... Make the whole thing out of metal. Please, I would pay the extra cost! Make the lead advance button flush with the end of the body and add a bit to the internals of the cap so it can still advance the lead. For charging the pen, you can unscrew the body to access the reservoir. It holds several leads so you won't have to do this very often. Other than my two proposed changes, this is the "it" as far as pencils go, you will search through all of Jetpens' offerings and not find a better balance of function, appearance and quality. 1 person found this helpful

Every Day Carry!
I have a leather Klein tool pouch. I use it to keep my junk from spreading-out all over the place. Inside this case are the following; A Lowepro point-n-shoot camera case, a Rite-In-The-Rain 3x5 card wallet, a small Pelle Leather Journal, one Filed Notes memo book and a medium Moleskine Multipurpose Case. Why did I tell you all that. My reason is that all these things are about the same "size" and they cooperate together very well. The Moleskine case is just flexible enough to get along with the journal and notebook while providing a shape that holds a bunch of pens and other stuff. There are almost too many things in my Moleskine case to list... but I will anyway :) An Empire Tools 100mm/4" slide caliper A Pentel Clic Eraser One small paint brush for chasing dust away from the screen of my phone A Pilot Pocket brush pen A touch screen/ball point pen (from Jetpens) One Uni-ball Pure Malt A Dr. Grip 4+1 A Tombow highlighter A Pilot "Down Force" A "Pilot's Pen" from Amazon. It's a ball point with a flashlight at the writing end. One green Stad Compass with a mechanical pencil And last and probably my favorite, and E+M Move pencil! All this stuff fits in the Moleskine case without any damage to the pens/tools or case. 1 person found this helpful

First off I would like...
Verified Purchase
First off I would like to thank Jetpens for re-stocking the E+M Move, I waited
what seemed several months to get one for myself.
A family story starts here so if you wish just skip to the next paragraph. Before I was born and continuing today, my family has played a little game whenever something gets sent through the mail. Inside a package there is a little wooden mouse. There is only a single mouse so whoever "finds" it in a package is now the keeper of the mouse. After a time, sometimes years, the mouse turns-up in another box someplace else. The mouse is very old. It is wooden, has a leather tail and ears with two hard black beads for eyes. It looks like it's made from the same wood as the E+M Move Zebrano pencil! When I first spotted the E+M Move here on Jetpens' web site, I was immediately distracted from reason.. I had to have one! The E+M Move is a simple design. There is no eraser and recharging is done through the same opening through which the lead is discharged. Advancing the lead is through twisting the two parts of the pencil, turn the wood and metal for more lead. Sounds almost like alchemy! You can 'free carry' this pencil in your pocket, but be careful you don't hurt yourself when sitting, the thing is strong and well-built. You won't bend or hurt it but it could wedge it's self such as to give you a good jab. Another warning has to do with when and where you expose the E+M in your possession. People are attracted to this thing like some sort of weird magnet! You won't get much done if your 'Move" is on in public :) I can't think of anything bad to say about the E+M Move pencil other than it's susceptible to oil stain and other wet dirt. The wood is not sealed so this is not a pencil you would use in the garage or someplace wet. This is not a bad thing as it allows the owner to have other great pencils for these locations. Thank you E+M and thank you Jetpens! 4 people found this helpful

First Fountain Pen In...
Verified Purchase
First Fountain Pen In 25 Years.
The first thing I did with this pen was to write on the ceiling while locating studs to hang shelving. The second thing I did was chase my cousin around her house trying to get the pen back! I carry this pen in my pocket and compare it to the Fisher Space Pen I also carry. So far, each have their pro's and con's, but the Ohto Rook Fountain Pen is a lot more fun to pull out and show off! Everyone is interested in the thing the minute they see it and after they find out it's a fountain pen they are amazed and want to play with it. I don't write books. I keep only the sparsest personal log. I have lousy hand writing. This fountain pen makes it more fun to write, perhaps I will write more just for having the Otho Rook fountain Pen! |

Re:Not just wikipedia problem (400 comments)
While it is debatable that this is how they think unconsciously, I seriously doubt that they are "readily admitting" what you say... even privately. Perhaps you are paraphrasing wrong? Maybe they suggested that you include "big words" that you didn't really understand yourself so you took that to mean that they think you should make your papers "confusing."
Seeing as how you use "it is debatable" "I seriously doubt" "perhaps" "maybe" "took that to mean" and I used "they will readily admit" I don't think I am the one making assumptions.
Teach someone a simplified version of something and they'll learn a simplified version or they'll think it is a simple topic. Take quantum theory for example. There's plenty of simplified quantum theories flying around popular culture right now and all of them are so far from the actual theories that they're more or less just myths that fill trashy pop-sci magazines like Wired. The fact it is a Wired editor that is complaining about Wikipedia is particularly amusing, BTW. If I were a wikipedia author, I might take it as a compliment that Wired was criticizing my writing for being too hard to understand.
There is a difference between a simplified version that hides facts and a simplified explanation that just makes all the facts easier to understand.
Or maybe the subjects really are that difficult (without the stupid quotes). Imagine that. Subjects that require years of dedicated study to understand. Subjects that trashy pop-sci magazines and dumbed down Wikipedia articles will get wrong every time.
You must have never had a bad teacher/professor if you don't believe that subjects can be made more difficult than they really are.

Boring and unattractive
There's not much of interest in this business-building game.
Venture is a very basic board-style game in which users build companies, take over corporations, and manage their stock portfolios. Unfortunately, it's not very fun.
The program's interface is basic and not particularly attractive. Part of the point of computer games is that they can be more dynamic and interesting than board games, but Venture is based on a grid-style board on which users build their business empires. Unfortunately, the 3D renderings of the businesses are rudimentary in nature, and look a bit like someone's homework from an introductory AutoCAD class. A built-in Help file explains the rules of the game. Users play against two or three computer players or log on to a network to play against real people. At any given time, there are six spaces on the game board that a particular player can use. With each turn users can establish a company, turn a company into a corporation, or merge with another corporation. Users also have the opportunity to buy stock in established corporations and must make strategic decisions about handling their stock when a merger occurs. When the game ends, the player with the highest worth wins. Overall, we found the game to be boring. It's not particularly nice to look at, nothing exciting happens, and we didn't find it strategically interesting. Users who are more interested in these sorts of things in real life may find it more enjoyable, but we doubt it.
Venture is free to try, but the trial version limits how many corporations a user can create. It comes as a ZIP file and installs desktop icons without asking, but it uninstalls cleanly. We do not recommend this program.

Outcomes assessment
Faculty in the English and journalism division have been busy implementing assessment plans, collecting data and writing mini-grants.
Diane Davis, associate professor and chair of the English assessment committee, described how their first major assessment project focused on student learning outcome 3, "Communicate effectively through the clear and accurate use of language" in seven developmental writing courses. Faculty were interested in looking at the transition that occurred between paragraph-to-essay-level writing. A committee of faculty with substantial experience in developmental writing courses devised a rubric that assessed four areas deemed appropriate: content, organization, style and mechanics. Maureen Fitzpatrick, professor and English assessment committee member, explained that data was collected in spring 2010 and scored by committee members in fall 2010. They are now analyzing and asking important questions based on the data.
Davis and Fitzpatrick, along with the English assessment committee, planned a retreat for faculty in April that provided an opportunity for English faculty to meet and discuss ongoing assessment projects and brainstorm new projects that would reflect the interests of multiple areas. Davis and Fitzpatrick were awarded an outcomes assessment mini-grant to fund the retreat.
Davis said, "Assessing student writing is incredibly labor intensive, even more so in the context of developing appropriate and relevant assessment measures. I'm proud of this committee and their dedication to meaningful assessment, and I'm fortunate to work with such talented and hardworking colleagues."
In the journalism department, Mark Raduziner, professor and chair, described how faculty are on their second cycle of outcomes assessment. Their project was jump-started with the aid of an outcomes assessment mini-grant. Raduziner, along with Molly Baumgardner, adjunct associate professor, and Corbin Crable, adjunct assistant professor, were awarded an outcomes assessment mini-grant in fall 2010. The funds were used to purchase flip cameras that were used in journalism courses to assess four student learning outcomes. With the advent of "backpack journalism," students must learn to write, photograph and shoot video to find successful careers in the ever-changing media industry. Baumgardner described how they developed a rubric to assess specific student learning outcomes such as outcome 8, "Use technology efficiently and responsibly." Crable expressed the importance of not only the technological literacy but also the ethical use of the devices that are required in the journalism field today.
They have since submitted a second mini-grant application and were awarded funds to purchase additional flip cameras for the department. Raduziner's plan is to incorporate photography and video technology into all journalism courses. He planned two workshops for department faculty; staff in the Educational Technology Center trained journalism faculty on the use of the flip cameras in April.

PLAYSTOPREWIND\'s FULL FLIGHT 2007: THE SERIES
The FULL FLIGHT series is going on for the 2nd year running! PlayStopRewind wants to make this an annual event catered especially for the scene where minorities exist and majorities never knew existed. It\'s time we step our game and bring our best foot forward! We need YOUR SUPPORT! PlayStopRewind Academy is hoping to get tremendous support, both morally and financially, to make FULL FLIGHT to be bigger and better each year. With this petition, we hope to get sponsors and support from societies and organisations, to show there IS a scene and there IS a very big supportive family willing to back FULL FLIGHT up in giving an opportunity for new and upcoming talents to reach out to the masses. The FULL FLIGHT Series started in December 2006 at Gashaus and it had an extremely overwhelming response from the crowd and bands that spurred PlayStopRewind to make the event bigger this year. The original concept show consisted of 4 gigs leading up the FULL FLIGHT finale, with all 4 shows linking to the next. FULL FLIGHT also covered a whole range of music genres during these 5 nights, from punk rock to core to ska and alternative. We hope to bring FULL FLIGHT to a whole new level.. and we\'re not leaving anyone behind. Let\'s make this happen and for God\'s sake, SIGN THE PETITION! This petition will be made known to companies, organisations, societies, etc. in hoping for their support for our strong local underground music family. Thank you for always believing.

The HOME requirements at 24 CFR Part 92.300 require PJs to set-aside at least 15 percent of their HOME allocation for projects sponsored, owned, or developed by CHDOs. PJs may allocate more funds for CHDOs, but 15 percent is the minimum amount.
PJs have 24 months after HUD signs the letter for the PJ's HOME agreement to identify and designate the CHDOs they plan to work with and reserve monies for their use. If the required funds are not reserved for CHDO use within this time period, they will be recaptured (returned to HUD).
Funds may be reserved for CHDOs before specific projects are identified. However; for funds to be reserved, a written agreement must be executed between the CHDO and the PJ.
Examples of reserving CHDO set-aside funds

Hey guys! I had a lot of concerns with my new ruger 10/22 last week and posted them on the forums. You guys kindly answered them and gave me confidence. I am happy to report the following: ran 100 rounds (cci blazer 40 grain) with not a single jam or misfire. The reliability of the 10/.22 and that ammo has blown me away. I am no longer using it as my primary home defense weapon. I have confidence in the cartridge and think I could stop an intruder with the 10/22 but would rather be fulllly confident with a shotgun. I want to thank you all who have helped me so far. Range report coming soon. Molon Labe

So my attempt at saving my blackberries from SWD this year is to do this-- To ever berry cluster. For once I'm thankful I only have three blackberry plants. LOL I don't know for sure if it'll work or even if that fabric is fine enough. Summer weight fabric from gardeners.com. But desperate times and all that though... I want my blackberries! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think it will work! keep us updated. Looks like something one could use to save seeds, make sure they self pollinate and not get pollen from other flowers. |
I do that with trees susceptible to the Japanese beetles. On one episode of the Homeland show, I noticed entire trees netted against some pest, possibly periodic cicadas. So people have seen this kind of thing before. |
At first there is an ick factor, but after awhile karma comes along and I eat them now , because those ripe berries are the best tasting, whether maggot infested or not. |
Good luck with your method of stopping SWD. We had them in our raspberries last summer, and I cut the patch down when the infestation got severe, to stop them from reproducing. Then we had a very cold and long winter, and this year, so far, no SWD in the raspberry patch! I am keeping my fingers crossed... |

Don't worry about the neighbors, several years ago I put sockies on all of my peaches and it rained shortly thereafter making the sockies hang down. It wasn't long before I heard it, "your tree looks like it has condoms all over it". Well, from a distance the tree did look that way, didn't other me a bit. The peaches filled up the sockies in time. |

Friday, October 21, 2005 - Page updated at 12:00 AM Danny Westneat For once, Eyman has good point Seattle Times staff columnist This year's statewide ballot initiatives are so poorly written or so obviously hijacked by special interests that they give direct democracy a bad name. Except for one. The one written by Tim Eyman. Seriously. It makes me queasy to say so, as I've never voted for anything associated with our initiative gadfly run amok. I guess I figured I never would. I stand by how I described Eyman a year ago: "He seems addicted to initiatives," I wrote. "Having one seems more important than what it says or who really benefits from it." That was when he was pimping that preposterous slot-machine measure to turn the state into a gigantic roulette wheel, ostensibly to spin tax rebates back at the public. This year, all the other initiatives are flawed or destructive in typical Eyman fashion. Yet his Initiative 900 — well, I'll be damned. I just can't find anything wrong with it. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally. Eyman's found a good idea. It's not earthshaking. All it does is let the elected state auditor grade the performance of local and state government agencies. This essentially is what newspapers do when there's a hint of wrongdoing: We investigate to see if public employees are doing their jobs. Under I-900, the auditor will release reports. If the news is good, the audited agency will tout it. If not, then it can work to correct its shortcomings. It's a quiet, sensible step toward better government at all levels. (I can't believe I just wrote that about something from Eyman.) In contrast, the rest of the field suffers from flaws that seem to plague initiatives. Take the indoor-smoking ban, I-901. If it just banned indoor smoking, I'd be for it. But this law would also ban smoking outside, near businesses and workplaces — which means most of any downtown. It's absurd. If ever a proposed law screamed to be amended, this is it. But that's the problem with initiatives. Your only choice is yes or no.
I-912 would repeal some taxes on gas but won't repeal the taxes for diesel. The result is that it penalizes the drivers who generally have the most fuel-efficient cars — exactly opposite what you'd want to do. Finally, there are the odious doctors and lawyers initiatives, I-330 and I-336. Both seek to rewrite incredibly complex medical-malpractice rules. Just on principle, no voter should agree to let a vested interest group write laws to regulate its own industry. As to the question of whom do you trust, doctors or lawyers, the answer is: nurses. And the nurses say vote no on both measures. No, this year, only Eyman does it for me. I'm not happy about it, I told him. "Don't worry," he soothed. "I'm just having a little blip of responsibility. Next year I'll go back to being evil." Danny Westneat's column appears Wednesday and Friday. Reach him at 206-464-2086 or email@example.com. Copyright © 2005 The Seattle Times Company |

Troubleshooting Yahoo/AT&T password issues
Reader Henry Ingram has a new problem with an old email account. He writes:
What with all the security breaches going on I've been changing passwords. The problem is that I have an old email account that was taken over by AT&T a few years ago but is now run by Yahoo. I've had a heck of a time changing the password plus my iPad won't accept the new one. Is there a way out of this misery?
I've been in a similar situation and quite honestly the AT&T/Yahoo relationship in regard to account settings is a nightmare. You go to Yahoo to do something as simple as change your password and you're passed along to the AT&T site because it controls these kinds of settings. A one-stop shop it is not.

Ainsworth set for three months on the sidelines
After getting injured in the warm up ahead of Saturdays game, Lionel Ainsworth is expected to be out for a lengthy spell and will need an operation.
Boss Steve Evans explained about the wingers blow yesterday.
He told themillers.co.uk: "Lionel he has dislocated his shoulder and will now have an operation which will in turn see the wee man missing for three months.
"This is a loss for us as we were just starting to see the best of him but these things happen and are sent to test our resolve."
Evans will look to dip into the loan market once again to provide competition for places on the right in Ainsworths absence.

"This is not about the money with me," said Ellis. "This is about being honest. ... I don't want him to apologize to me, I want him to apologize to everybody he lied to. ... don't call me a liar."
Ellis said she feels sympathy for Vitter's wife, but that did not deter her campaign against the senator. "She deserves to know the truth," Ellis said of Vitter's wife Wendy. "She deserves to know that he is a liar."
The former prostitute will also appear in a pictorial in the January issue of Hustler.
"I'm going to take care of Wendy," responded Flynt to repeated questions about Ellis' compensation from Hustler. "We are working on a book deal."
Flynt warns that Washington officials should continue to fear a call from his office. His staff is still scouring the phone records of Deborah Jean Palfrey — the so-called D.C. Madam, with whom Vitter was initially linked — for more evidence against top government officials.
Flynt said he still has 3,000 phone numbers among Palfrey's records to check out.
"We've got a lot more coming," claimed Flynt. "There is one more gay senator or congressman, and he also votes against matters of self-interest all the time. ... I think he should go, he's at the top of the agenda now."

A lovely dessert wine made from picked-at-their-peak Vermont apples! Eden's "Calville Blend" Ice Cider is made by harvesting MacIntosh, Empire, Russet, Ashmead's Kernel and Calville Blanc apples at their peak and then holding them in cold storage until the heart of winter. The apples are then pressed and the juice is set outdoors to freeze for 6-8 weeks to concentrate the sugars. The resulting elixer is then fermented, resulting in this full-bodied, sweet-tart cider, which is delicious with artisanal cheeses.
Below is a listing of the wine review scores we frequently reference in our notes. While these sources remain an excellent source of information, we always recommend that you trust your own palate. Scores in these publications often represent the personal taste of an individual critic, which may not always coincide with your own.

(AP) Standard Chartered's chief executive is in New York preparing to meet the regulator which has branded the U.K. bank a rogue operator that has laundered oil money for Iran.
The bank said on Tuesday that it did not know whether CEO Peter Sands will be called or allowed to participate in hearing called by the New York State Department of Financial Services for Wednesday.
The agency accuses the bank of helping the Iranian government launder $250 billion in nearly 60,000 transactions between 2001 and 2007, violating U.S. sanctions.
The bank has admitted violations on 300 transactions amounting to less than $14 million.
Standard Chartered says it has been co-operating with the state agency and The Federal Reserve, the U.S. Treasury and Justice departments in their investigations.

No matter how much a person I meet ensures me that he or she doesn't judge people I never really get to believe it.
Let's be honest, at least for a split second. We all do judge. Wether we want to or not. Same here. I find myself judging way too often. As in judging a stranger before you get to know them. Not when a friend tells you that he did some messed up shit. That's a different kind of judging – at least to my mind – but that's also another topic.
Whether it is the middle-aged, big woman with greasy hair and clothes that smell like they haven't been washed in a long time or the guy who probably is the same age as me but wears all brand clothes, a bigger watch than the new Iphone (not to forget that he owns the latest version) and whose attitude let's me think of some posh asshole.
At the end of last year I was working out in my local gym and saw that woman working out there too. She wasn't really pretty, had a bit too much on her hips and didn't really look as if she cared for her appearance. I caught myself looking at her every now and then and thinking to myself I'm glad that I'm not her.
My thoughts got carried away and I kept doing my workout. Some time later someone tapped on my shoulder. It was that girl. All I thought was Jesus, what the hell does SHE want?!
She spoke with a really nice and caring voice and told me that I was doing the exercise wrongly and that she wouldn't like to see me with a backache because she usually wouldn't find the courage to talk to strangers but now forced herself to tell me.
I instantly felt so terrible and ashamed. She was the sweetest person I met that entire week.
After this encounter I set myself the goal to become as close as possible to being not judgmental. And because of that terrible feeling I had that evening (it didn't go away for a long time) I could stick to that resolution most of the time.
It helped me a lot in my job, especially because I often meet the strangest of people. No matter if they are gaming nerds, science geeks, old and sinister people, confused elderly woman or just people who look as if they don't care for hygiene the tiniest bit. (Sure that last one really is the hardest, but that's part all part of not judging.)
I admit that sometimes the thought that 'd rather don't want to be around these people comes to my mind but I do my best to silence these kind of thoughts.
Most of the time there always is a reason behind the way these people are or why they look the way they do – sometimes there's no reason at all.
Since I approached people with this attitude I got to know so many people I wouldn't have met otherwise – on a second though I really would have liked to have met some of them.
The irony is that those from whom I expected the less of anything mostly turned out to be the kindest and friendliest and sweetest.
The big woman with the greasy hair and the worn-out clothes might have lost her job recently or something even worse might have happened to her. The fella with the brand clothing and the super-rich attitude might have everything that can be bought with money but really is just looking for a true friend or appreciation.
It's sometimes wicked how our world works. But that is no reason to judge things before we get to know them.

An inmate escaped from Pitchess Detention Center just before 12:00 yesterday.
His name is Roberto Alvarez and he is not considered dangerous.
He is a male Hispanic with black hair and brown eyes. He stands 5 foot 10 inches tall, weighs approximately 180 pounds, and was last seen wearing a yellow jump suit.
His prison issued yellow shirt was found by deputies.
Air units were dispatched along with bloodhounds to try and trace the trail of the escapee, however with every passing hour the chances of finding Alvarez in the area become less likely.
Alvarez was serving time for possession of Narcotics.
Any information regarding this man should be relayed to the Sheriff's Department at 255-1121.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Karen Coulter Made to feel welcome
We were looking for some thing different on New Years Eve and were given a fantastic experience, from the time we arrived until we left. Breakfast was great, the people the service. We will be going back and I will recommend people to stay here.

My review is, great stay. However the overall hotel could do with a much needed revamp. The colours and decore so 80ies.
Staff impeccable, friendly and helpful and knowledgeable. Front of house to staff on the floor, helpful and welcoming. Ordered Ice twice, came very quickly.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by vibo1212 EXCELLENT AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Celebrating a special wedding anniversary we decided to treat ourselves to a 5-Star short stay at the Adelaide Intercontinental Hotel. We were absolutely delighted with all aspects from the initial booking enquiry to the friendly ease at check out time.
All of our specific room requirements were met - We requested a river view room (but could have chosen a city view room) and we were gifted with a keepsake card and congratulatory note from hotel Management to mark our special occasion. As an added surprise a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine was waiting in our room on arrival - notably from a local winery. What more could we ask for?
Our dinner reservation at the Riverside Restaurant was equally surprising as we were greeted with a complimentary champagne to begin. We could not fault the food or the waiting staff. The restaurant was busy but the staff were courteous and unobtrusively attentive.
We were extremely impressed with the morning breakfast buffet. The atmosphere was casual, the staff were friendly and welcoming, the food was amazing and we were more than happy with the choices on offer.
We would absolutely highly recommend the Adelaide Intercontinental Hotel for any special occasion. We loved it all! THANK YOU to all concerned for making our short stay a very memorable one! We're already planning another stay in the future.

All though a great place to stay the rooms are starting to look old and tired, ripped curtains drop this hotel to a lower class of hotel, which is a shame as the staff are amazing.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Kym15 excellent short stay
My wife and I found the staff and facilities excellent.
A request to change dinner reservations was effortlessly accommodated. All meals excellent, good menu variety and room service exceptional.
Room well serviced with high quality facilities including TV reception, bathroom, air conditioning, quiet fresh room and wonderful king sized bed.
Although our stay was short and designed mainly for convenience when attending the International Tennis Challenge at Memorial Drive I would not hesitate to recommend the Intercontinental for similar or longer stays.
We hope to use the Hotel again this year when attending functions at the Festival Theatre and Adelaide Oval.
Warm regards, Kym.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Melon005 Fit for a family of five
It is often a draining experience to be able to find a hotel that will accommodate a family of more than the standard 2 adults and 2 children. So when a hotel says "Yes! We can arrange an adjoining room with 3 beds" (onto a King Bed Superior room - with the most heavenly bed by the way!), there is no hesitation in whipping out that credit card and securing the rooms. Especially when they have a great room rate too! The rooms were clean, comfortable and excellently equipped (although I actually don't like those teeny little milks in the mini bar for tea/coffee. There either needs to be more of them or they need to be bigger. Minor detail...). Another great feature was the location. The tram virtually at the front door, the Adelaide Oval in the back yard, and Rundle Mall just a stroll up the street! But best of all was a member of staff who checked us in called Clare. She was just wonderful, helpful and patient. In fact all the staff were great and I look forward to bringing my family back again.

After looking after the grandchildren during the school holiday break it was bliss to be able to relax and be waited on. Our two days felt much longer and we were well rested. Thank you.
