As a newbie, how much time should I spend at the range to get/keep proficient at drawing from a concealed carry? How much time do LEOs spend at the range? Is that a good measurement to compare myself to?
This is a discussion on Training LEOs vs Citizen training within the Defensive Carry & Tactical Training forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Hey, As a newbie, how much time should I spend at the range to get/keep proficient at drawing from a concealed carry? How much time ...
As a newbie, how much time should I spend at the range to get/keep proficient at drawing from a concealed carry? How much time do LEOs spend at the range? Is that a good measurement to compare myself to?
Its not a good measure, most departments have semi annual qualifications. If you want to keep your trigger, sight alignment and sight picture skills up. You can dry practice a couple of times a week and hit the range every other week. About 50-100 rounds will work.
Don"t let stupid be your skill set....
Never be ashamed of a scar. It simply means, that you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you......
LEOs can spend as little as the annual qualification range time to a few range sessions a week or more.
You do not need to "compare" yourself to anyone. You just need to train and practice enough to be confident in your skills to prevail against the evil you see in everyday life.
I base my training and practice on the belief that I don't want my last thought on this planet to be "I wish I had put a bit more into preperation".

You need to shoot until you are confident that you can safely draw, fire, and reholster your firearm consistently. There is no set "standard" that you must reach before you can venture into the world armed. I strongly recommend seeking a training course. This will give you a strong foundation to build upon. You can never practice too much.

Most ranges that Ive been to, dont let you draw and shoot from the holster quickly. They are basically strictly marksmanship/recreation.
Just going to the range and working on trigger pull, sigt picture, and manipulation of the gun is practice. What are you practicing, though? Are you doing it properly? Safely? Who knows. You need professional training to show you what to practice, and how to do it safely. A self defense scenario isnt going to be a torso-sized target standing 5 yards away, fully squared to you, standing still, with you just aiming and shooting. Its much more dynamic than that.
Sign up for some sort of defensive pistol class, and they will actually train you in self defense scenarios and other fundamentals such as drawing and firing while on the move. Then once you what to do, you can practice that stuff.
The way it was put that made most sense to me was there is a difference between training and practicing. You train to learn what to do, then practice what you train to master it. Going to the range and just shooting a static target with the correct stance, with perfectly aimed shots is nothing more than marksmanship training. While still important, it isnt all of it.
Ive never personally taken a course like this, but plan to when the timing/money is better.
There is also another scenario. Draw, present, then reholster without shooting. At my range training my shooting buddy will yell safe target without warning.

Thanks y'all,
I will be taking a Guns 101 class with my wife (who does not want the class and not looking forward to life with a gun on her sweetheart). The 101 class only covers safe handling of a handgun. Nothing about self defense.
I think there are classes in the JAX area I can inquire about.
Everything important I've ever learned started in a class. Makes sense to go to one for self defense too. Thanks guys for the tips

Train, Train and more training Great for us all. I remember about 5 yrs. ago. In Wisconsin a white tail deer jumped through a barber shop window being chased there by a dog. Deer went nuts inside, Cops were called , Dnr. warden was called,. they both stood out side trying to figure out what to do. well the cop drew his gun and fired 2 full clips, never hit BAMBI. deer jumped out same window and left in a hurry! Yes sir practice pays. On the other hand, practice does not make Perfect but, PERFECT PRACTICE does..
Take a defensive pistol class from a qualified instructor. In your area Scott Whigham comes to mind (see the Florida Concealed Forum) if you want to travel a couple hours, Terry Hall Enterprises trains out of Volusia County Hunt and Gun Club. He's a great instructor also (my wife and I have taken a lot of training with him the past year plus). But, above all, TRAIN for the day when you MUST use your weapon as if your LIFE and the LIVES of others depended on it.
Train until you are comfortable. Most police only shoot to qualify semiannually. At a bare minimum for me would be once a month, and that's pushing it. I like to go about 2-3 times a month, more if I can, but heavy work/school schedules hinder that.

I am a bit surprised that LEOs only qual twice/yr. I have been to the indoor range twice/month and want to go more.

Get a super dependable gun, shoot 300 rounds through it. Then learn 'situational awareness' (Don't get into bad situations) .... then spend a few bucks on a training course. Other than SWAT types, I don't think cops train much.
My instructor is a POST certified pistol, rifle & shotgun instructor for a local PD. I am a civilian. I am very fortunate to have a close friend who is also an instructor. He makes his officers train a TON more than most local departments. His advice to me when he first encouraged me to get my CCW was "train as much as you are able to train."
Train draw, re-holster, tap/rack, point of aim, off-hand draw, shooting from cover, everything you can think of and stuff you can't think of that you just happened to read here or on other forums. I even train drawing while seated in my car.

I reported a day or two ago that my index page had reappeared again after being lost on June 27- Well now it's disappeared again.
I use sitemaps and the sitemap.xml file seems to be downloaded every few days. When my page reappeared it was listed under "site:www.mydomain.com" but now it's gone once again.
[edited by: tedster at 7:34 am (utc) on July 5, 2006]
Searching for "www.mysite.com" (with quotes), in the top 10 results there are, at least, 2 entries of those spammy .info domains that have appeared a month ago, which replicate a google serp but changing the link to another spammy .info site.
Can Google penalize our sites for dup content because of this?
Depending on the program etc you might get help with this issue by posting something in the php programming section:
I agree normally someone that is very vocal about changes with algos is being very quiet
While the other dcs now have a different internal page at number 1 (a non-supplemental page) for a site:domain.com search.
>We have no word from Matt Cutts or Adam so far on what's going on?
Probably means they are just testing things and nothing significant as far as they are concerned.
which ones Dayo I'll see if mine has dropped as well
And Tigger - it looks like yours have aswell.
What a mess.
Can anyone second guess this....
Im still having dam pages in googles index without the www. prefix showing for search results but lower down.
Google is not listing the correct pages as it was prior to this update ie www.../widgets.html which was ranking well say top 10, but is now showing the page without the www. prefix in the serps in say position 15 with a cashe date going back to Jan this year!, its the same on loads of other pages.
The 301 has been in place for well over 6 mths but following this uodate G has dropped loads of our pages and put non www pages with old cash dates in their place!
just a short note on my experience with the SITE:desaster...
I had the same effect about a month ago on one single site, which lists with more than 1 Mio. pages and which is my main domain. The index page was gone and traffic dropped to 20% of the value before.
Shocked and demotivated I just kept doing other stuff and in the moment the site:desaster started, my site came back (although 5 others were "killed").
I do not want to be too optimistic, but after that one large site came back after 3 weeks very low results, I guess we have to give G a few weeks to clean up stuff. My guess is also that most of the sites, if they are REALLY clean, will come back eventually!
Does that give some hope?
Cheers, P!
i'm just waiting this out, nothing more to do.
btw, the main index page now has disappeared from IPs listed in this threat.
These datacentres also no longer show my homepage top of the site:www.domain.com command. The only DC's which are still friendly are the pre-update 126.96.36.199 and 188.8.131.52.
However, I have noticed a few referrals which must have come from one of these DC's. On a separate note, Frostymug, I am also noticing what appears to be an increase in MSN / Yahoo referrals. Maybe it just appears that way because the Google referrals are down so far :-(

Please give it a try and post monthly updates on how your new strategy is working. :-)
Do you mean you went down in Google Images too?
I'm asking because I dropped in the SERPs but not in Images.
[edited by: Martin40 at 2:30 pm (utc) on July 5, 2006]
Basically the site: search lists your site pages as Google sees them in terms of importance, so if your home page doesn't rank first, or in some cases, doesn't show up at all, then that's bad - very bad in fact.
Some sites have internal pages which are more important than their home page - this is not what I mean. It is fine for them to list first then.
The symptom people here are seeing is that the top pages listed are not their important ones, which are hard or impossible to find.
This has gone hand in hand with these important pages dropping out of SERPs for search phrases they used to rank well under.
From here it's strictly opinion...
I maintain that it's a tweak to the algo to attack some kind of issue (quite possibly succesfully and maybe even justified), with colateral damage to a number of innocent sites. I personally think it's to do with site uniqueness, stickyness, and use of adsense or affiliate schemes - but who really knows? Matt?
For those sites adversely affected by the algo changes on 27th June, one thing that they have in common is that when you do the site:www.domain.com command, the homepage is not at the top of the listing, and it is preceded by outdated supplementals.
Has anyone here actually asked Matt anything? From what I can see his latest blog comments are just rammed full of the usual sycophantic drivel.
He's unlikely to comment on something that isn't yet remotely on his radar.
As an aside. For those of you tracking the June 27th ranking problems by way of the weird "site:" search symptoms, it's worth noting that not all of us are seeing those symptoms. We we're hit by the same ranking penalty on the 27th, but we do not see any "site:" search weirdness. Suffice to say, the "site:" search bugs may be a bit of a red herring.
I still believe in a bad data push, since it concerns so many of us. Many having decent sites with correct html and no affiliated sites at all.
This is not what I call colateral damage. In my dictionary its called "Bad data"
All this guessing and theories is driving everyone up the wall, making things worse then they really are.
No! Never give up :)
I've seen some (small) positive changes since 27 June, with pages cached on or since that date showing up "correctly" in the index, across a range of DCs.
Pages cached prior to 27 June are still screwed up, with site meta description taking precedence over page meta descriptions, menu items displayed instead, date of last cache showing up in the indexed page title.
I also wonder if Google is giving priority to sites according to age? If anyone else has seen this please corroborate, otherwise I'll think I'm paranoid. Reason for my theory is sites seem to be slowly recovering in age order - my oldest site is (today at least!) recovering well; 2nd oldest starting to show positive results; the two youngest sites are still stuffed.
I see pages that have been cashed going back over the last six months in its index that have been updated and changed by webmasters yet google hasnt updated its cash version.
Its serps can not be correct as it then provides results based on the keyword search requests based on the cashed held data which is as i say out of date.
I can see that the idea was to take the data to a central area so that the bot doesnt have to make three journeys for each of the google bot applications and then feed the data from the central area directly into the data centre serps but it doesnt work.
For what ever reason the data is not getting updated enough imo. Whilst google dont want to admit it i genuinely believe that they have a lot of bugs to sort out and that this infastructure isnt as effective as they think it is.
Time will tell
Yes my oldest and best sites have dropped dramatically, on some old sites im seeing cache from 2005!
I have noticed google crawling these sites again, but I dont see any new cached pages yet.

Who Said It: Warren G or Warren G. Harding?
Guess which famous Warren G said what
Warren G. Harding, the 29th President of the United States, was a terrible leader. He also had a longtime mistress, Carrie Fulton Phillips, whom he corresponded with in 100s of handwritten letters, some of them quite salacious. Yesterday, the New York Times published a number of these sexy-time correspondences, including ones in which the future President called his dick "Jerry." (As in: "Jerry came and will not go, says he loves you." )
Another famous Warren G has also talked about naked canoodling. Can you tell which famous Warren G said what?
1. "It was a clear black night / A clear white moon"
2. "I love your poise / Of perfect thighs / When they hold me / In paradise"
3. "That bitch you was glancin on / If she leaves with me / No chance that / Her pants is on"
4. "If I had you today, I'd kiss and fondle you into my arms and hold you there until you said, 'Warren, oh, Warren'"
5. "It's your world girl / Come collide with the dick"
6. "Wish I could take you to [my dick]. Wonderful spot."
Answers: 1) Warren G ("Regulate"); 2) Warren G. Harding ("Letter to His Mistress," Jan. 28, 1912); 3) Warren G ("Lookin At You"); 4) Warren G. Harding ("Letter to His Mistress," Jan. 28, 1912); 5) Warren G ("Lookin At You"); 6) Warren G. Harding ("Letter to His Mistress," Aug. 20, 1918), [my dick] = "Mount Jerry"

Applied Materials has unveiled what it claims is the industry's first fully-integrated abatement and vacuum pumping solution for controlling emissions in the semiconductor fab.
Networked with an Applied process tool, the iSYS system can deliver typical annual savings in power, water and gas consumption equivalent to 200MWh of energy or 220,000 pounds of CO2 emissions, compared to currently available configurations. In addition to having environmental benefits, the iSYS system lowers the utility cost for abatement and vacuum pumping on a process tool by more than 20%.
Applied said its iSYS unit can be installed in less than one day and consumes 40% less floor space than non-integrated systems. The iSYS design consolidates major components and eliminates redundancy to greatly reduce the number of external connections while optimizing maintenance ergonomics, the company said.

text: Urbanized areas play an increasingly important role in driving climate change. For example, energy production and use generate about 87 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; of this amount, the majority is associated with electricity, heat, industrial production, transportation, and waste located in cities and other built-up areas (Folke et al., 1997). The concentration of emissions from urban areas also commonly generates major problems for urban air quality (e.g., Mage et al., 1996). The economies of scale associated with concentrating people in cities generally result in lower per capita emissions relative to nonurban settlements (Dodman, 2009; Satterthwaite, 2008). However, especially in developing economies, the shift to an urban economy and lifestyle increases expectations of consumption and triggers rapid urban expansion (Angel et al., 2005; Guneralp and Seto, 2008), thus enlarging the

What sort of kegerator setup are you running? Is it just the first pour that is foamy, or is it all subsequent pours? Is this a new kegerator build (i.e. your first keg, so you don't perhaps know if your regulator gauge is reliable)? I used to have horrible problems with my first pour being foamy in my old tower setup (5' lines), and then was very concerned when I built my keezer with 10' lines and got the same... The fix was to rig up a couple PC fans in the keezer to circulate air, ensuring my lines were the same temperature as the rest of the keezer. It causes a major problem when the lines are allowed to warm up (and temp stratification inside a fridge with no circulation is significant), as the CO2 in the beer comes out of solution and forms bubbles in the lines. If you look at the beer line, do you see bubbles in the lines? All that said, I regularly keep my fridge about 41 degrees and have been able to serve at 14-15 psi with no overcarbonation problems through 10' lines.
Yes, fairly new keg setup so I don't know if the gauge is reliable. What happens is the keg is carbonating, I don't touch it for 2 weeks (12 PSI) at around 38 F. Test it every couple of days, then drink it, and it is already overcarbed. Then as time goes on it gets worse (same PSI). Foam occurs sometimes, but not every time, it is an acidic/metallic aftertaste from every single glass. I don't have a tower installed, just a 5 gallon Corny keg in a mini-fridge so warm beer lines are not an issue. There is bubbles in the line though.
If there are bubbles in the line, it might be a temp differential. After putting two beers in rapid succession, those bubbles should go away, and take minutes/hours to return. If it's temp, that's the expectation. This can be fixed by adding a circulation fan inside. If the bubbles immediately return, it's possible you have an issue with the seal if the dip tube and liquid out post. If you're letting CO2 into the beer line from that location, the bubbles will always be there immediately after each pour. And it could explain the sharp flavor, which could be carbonic acid. This is, off course, an easy fix (remove CO2, vent keg, remove liquid post, replace o-rings and re-seal). Of course, it could be the regulator. Inconsistent pressure could explain both overcarbonating and bubbles in the line.
Good info. Shouldn't be a temperature gradient as it keeps happening with 3 to 4 pints. The liquid out post theory sounds very credible, though I did replace the o-rings months ago and checked by submerging in the bathtub (pressurized). Still could be that gauge. Still off-gassing the keg and it tastes acidic after 4 days. I suppose if the beer gets undercarbed and that acidic taste is still there, then it has to be a leak at the liquid out post then.
I had only replaced the "liquid out" side o-rings. Just to be sure I replaced them again. Then I noticed that the upper "gas in" side o-ring was old and the bottom o-ring on the "gas in" was not even there. Replaced both and put keg lube on all rings. So could the "gas in" missing o-ring cause the overcarbing?
Google any force carb chart for temp and pressure.

Members Present Nancy Armentrout, OIT-DOT David Blocher, OIT-DHHS Victor Chakravarty, OIT-OCIO Maria Jacques, ESCB Nate Kane, DOT David Kirouac, Chair, OIT-MEGIS Christopher Kroot, OIT-DEP Bob Marvinney, DOC-MGS David Maxwell, OIT-DEP Greg McNeal, OIT Core Tech Amy Spelke, PUC Dan Walters, USGS Agenda Item #1: Review Minutes of June 13 Meeting Christopher proposed an addendum to Item #2, Business Objectives of the GIS Strategic Plan: "The Stakeholders encountered some difficulty in precisely defining Goal, Objective & Strategy. Nancy will draft a set of first-cut definitions for subsequent vetting." Outcome: David will amend the June 13 minutes accordingly. Everything else was approved without any modification. Agenda Item #2: Review Nancy 's Strategic Plan Draft Everybody welcomed Nancy 's definitions of Goal, Objective & Strategy. David Maxwell raised the issue of whether an Objective should always be measurable. After some follow-up discussion, the Stakeholders decided that measurability is a desirable trait for an Objective, but not an absolute necessity. Dan affirmed that these definitions are indeed aligned with those of the National States Geographic Information Council (NSGIC). Christopher questioned the phrase 'core service' in the context of Goal #3, since that phrase has historically been associated with MEGIS, whereas the Strategic Plan aims to encompass GIS activities throughout State Government. Dan added some more details on the scope of MEGIS. Maria urged the inclusion of the Department of Public Safety in the list of departments currently using GIS. Victor pointed out that there are four Roadmap documents, not five, as Personnel & Funding are absorbed under Organization. In the interest of best utilizing meeting time, Nate repeatedly urged the Stakeholders to discuss the actual Goals, Objectives & Strategies, rather than get bogged down in precise wordsmithing. Christopher & Nancy urged the inclusion of two additional objectives under goal #4 that would refer to Open Source Tools and Subscription-based Data & Services. Christopher took issue with the assertion that most ordinary users merely engage in visualizing spatial data. He also urged the inclusion of spatial analytics and embedded applications into the ever-increasing list of GIS usage. In the Conclusion section, Christopher urged de-emphasizing cost cutting, and instead emphasizing more effective and efficient delivery of GIS services. Outcome: David will incorporate all these modifications, and email out the next draft. Agenda Item #3: Next steps - finishing up the Strategic Plan and Action Plan After a lot of discussion, it was decided that the four Roadmap documents will not be attached as appendices to the Strategic Plan, since they are not yet aligned with the Goals, Objectives & Strategies. It was acknowledged that there may indeed be individual action items in the Implementation Plan that serve multiple Goals, Objectives & Strategies. On a related note, the Stakeholders are urged to report back their comments on the updated Strategic Plan back to David, so that the entire body may vote on the Strategic Plan at the next meeting. Outcome: David will convene a subcommittee, consisting of the Chairs of the four Roadmap subcommittees, (or their designees), and other interested parties, to create a holistic Implementation Plan that will be in alignment with the Goals, Objectives & Strategies. David will chair the first meeting of the Implementation subcommittee, after which it will elect its own chair. The Implementation subcommittee will, of course, report back to the entire Stakeholder Group. Agenda Item #4: Organizational Update Greg McNeal updated the Stakeholders on the replacement plan for the previous Enterprise Applications Director. More specifically, the responsibilities of the previous Enterprise Applications Director will be split into two positions: an Enterprise Applications Manager, and a GIS Administrator. The Enterprise Applications Manager will handle Email, Document Management, Secure FTP, and the Customer Support Application. The GIS Administrator will lead MEGIS, interface with the Stakeholders, represent the CIO in the Geo Library, and be a frontline GIS advocate in Maine State Government. Greg is currently working on the FJA-1. Greg intends to fill the GIS Administrator position ASAP. Outcome: The process for filling the GIS Administrator position will continue with the intent of filling the position ASAP. Agenda Item #5: Joint Federal Grant Application Perhaps the GIS Stakeholders and the Geo Library could get together and make a joint Federal grant application to develop the Road Centerline and the National Hydrography Dataset ( Maine attributes). Outcome: Further discussion is required on this front. |

PROSPECT, Ore. — Jackson County Sheriff's deputies responded to a call early Friday morning near Prospect.
When NewsWatch 12 arrived on scene, four police vehicles were surrounding a residence on Mill Creek Drive. A suspect was brought out in hand-cuffs.
Jackson County Sheriff Sergeant Snaith says the original report was for burglary; that burglary then turned into an armed robbery.

T. L. Osborn, 2001
Born | Pocasset, Oklahoma |
December 23, 1923
Died | February 14, 2013[1] Tulsa, Oklahoma |
(aged 89)
Occupation | Pentecostal evangelist |
Tommy Lee Osborn (December 23, 1923 – February 14, 2013) was an American Pentecostal evangelist and author based in Tulsa, Oklahoma.[2][3][4]
Osborn was born in Pocasset, Oklahoma.
Osborn married Daisy Washburn Osborn at the age of 17, and shortly thereafter the two together set out on a life of ministry and missionary travel with a trip to India at the age of 21.
The Osborns first gained notoriety shortly after returning from India, when as evangelists on the Big Tent Revival circuit in the United States and Canada where they preached to audiences often numbering over 10,000 in open air meetings and under large tents in settings such as fair grounds and stadiums. On this circuit they were featured along with other young contemporary evangelists of the time such as Billy Graham, Oral Roberts, Jack Coe, and A.A. Allen. The Osborne's ministry was often distinguished from most of the other notables of the time for their characteristic emphasis on the love and compassion of God, rather than the "fire and brimstone" that were more commonly used by evangelists of the era, and by the prevalence of supernatural healing in their meetings.
By the early 1950s their emphasis began to shift more and more toward efforts in international missions. They began to hold large crusades in Latin America, Asia, and Africa where crowds began to grow rapidly and at times reached well over 100,000 persons in attendance in a single meeting. These crusades at times began to have a very significant impact on cities, provinces, and sometimes even whole nations. Osborn's crusades in Thailand in 1956 and Uganda in 1957 for instance are said to have laid the foundations for substantial growth in Pentecostalism in those countries.[5][6]
Over the course of the next 5 decades the team traveled to more than 70 countries and reached millions of people. They created prolific quantities of missionary evangelism and training materials, some of which have now been translated into more than 80 languages.
Some of the books TL Osborn authored several books, including:
- "Healing The Sick"
- "Soulwinning"
- "God's Love Plan"
- "The Good Life"
- "The Message That Works"
After Daisy preceded him in death in May 1995, Osborn continued to travel and conduct crusades around the world until his health began to decline in his mid-eighties. He died on February 14, 2013 at the age of 89.
Osborn's daughter Ladonna Osborn continues to operate the ministry founded by her parents, including leading international crusades in the developing world every year. His grandson Tommy Ray O'Dell has also followed in his grandfather's footsteps and has a ministry focused on evangelism and education in Asia, Africa, and Europe, and like his grandfather often draws large crowds and sees notable miracles in his services.

Today was an interesting day for me, good and a bit weird.
School's been back for a week now and I ran into Nick, one of my friends that I haven't seen since the last day of school a few months ago. He's one of the two friends that didn't respond back to me about the text mom send outing me and Colin.
Nick and I don't have any classes together and have different lunch times so we never really cross paths, and unfortunately it's the same with Colin too. At least we get to hang out before school and at Cross Country practice.
Right after the last period Nick came up to me and didn't say anything, he just looked at me. I said hi, asked him how his summer was, how he'd been the last few months. He talked to me slowly, like he was translating in his mind what he wanted to say from a foreign language.
I'm sorry...I should have come over...I'm just surprised...you're so...normal. You know how many girls want you???
I've heard that a lot lately.
I asked him if we were still friends and he told me "always" and then told me to "beat the clock!" at our first CC meet that was going to start in a short bit.
After talking with Nick I felt better, and wasn't as nervous about my first meet. Colin and I changed next to each other, using lockers in the back of the locker room. Everyone on CC knows we're gay and we change a bit away from the others just so they know we're not checking them out. Really, I don't think they even care.
Colin and I massage each others legs before practices which helps loosen up up, and we stretch together. At first the other teammates just looked at us funny, but now they don't care. We never talk about anything gay at practice, we just become a part of the team and we take it seriously.
My school's CC course is considered one of the toughest of the schools we compete against, and it's a bit of an advantage for us since we know it well. Pacing is a huge part of CC and something I have a long way to improve on, but I'm getting better.
I ended up with a time of just over 20 minutes, and Colin was just under 22. Not winning times but still not horrible, and our coach really wants us to gradually improve, and build our endurance up.
At the finish line my dad was on one side cheering me and Colin on, and I got a brief glimpse of my mom on the other side. I knew it was her, she had on the same sunglasses and tennis visor we always wears, her phone in her hand. Her face was blank, at least as far as I could tell from the split second I saw her.
After each team member crosses the finish line we meet up to get our official times coach, and then one everyone is finished we have a brief team meeting and rehydrate.
Dad was waiting for me, and I looked around for mom but she was gone. After practices and meets he picks up Colin and I up, we go to my room to expend some sperm and then shower together, and then Colin walks home. Dad didn't say anything about mom being there on the ride home, but after Colin left he came to my room and asked me if I wanted to go get pizza for dinner? I was starving so you know the answer!
We talked about the meet on the drive to the restaurant, and I talked about how I wanted to improve my pacing, especially going uphill. That's my weak point, and a common one too.
I waited and waited for dad to say something about mom being there but he didn't, and I started to wonder if it was maybe wishful thinking on my part? Maybe I was just imagining her being there.
Then I got a text message from an unknown phone number and there was a photo attached, and it was also sent to dad's phone number.
The picture was of me about the cross the finish line, and in the message space were 5 exclamation points. Nothing else.
Dad held up his phone so I could see that he got the same message and picture, and I struggled to hold the tears back. Dad wiped my eyes gently with a napkin and told me to give her time, just give her time.
I didn't hold back the tears at home, and dad held me like he has done so many times lately. I sent the message and picture to Colin and my brother Michael, and Colin replied that he thought he had seen her there was wasn't sure.
My brother replied that he was proud of me, and that he was glad that mom and dad were there for me.
I have hope now, not sure how much, but at least I have that.
It's great that your Mom was there at your CC meet, so maybe in the future she'll reach out to you. I feel for you here, I haven't written about my Dad in my journals yet but there's rejection from him that I have to deal with.
I'm amazed at your patience with her, but based on how you write about your family I'm not too surprised either.
In some ways it's good that you and Colin don't see each other much at school, after school you can catch up and each of you gets to experience different friends. Are you two still doing debate?
Rubbing each others legs before CC? Wow...that's brave dude!!! May want to do that in private?
I really hope things get better for you, but I also think you're preparing yourself for it going south too?
... she's trying to come to terms with everything. Best to give her space and let her figure things out.

Former assistant Chief of Police in Centerville IL. knowingly sold a .45 Hi-Point to a convicted Sex-Offender (Felon) and was caught by a federal sting operation.
Adding to the "ugliness", he "acquired" said pistol while performing his duties as a police officer.
He finally confessed when they (Feds) confronted him with audio tapes of the sale, and detailed the sting operation.

ETF Buffers Weaknesses in Transportation
For instance, IYT's index dedicates nearly three-quarters of its index to companies in the delivery, railroad and trucking industries. Airlines and marine transportation companies each represent 8% slices.
The transportation industry will benefit as healing economies cautiously increase their exposure to the global marketplace and consumers increase demand for goods and services.
Strength, however, will not likely be uniform across all aspects of the industry. While investors can attempt to pick and choose which slices of this sector will outperform, a more beneficial option may be to grab exposure to the whole.

History[edit] Objective-C was created primarily by Brad Cox and Tom Love in the early 1980s at their company Stepstone.[2] Both had been introduced to Smalltalk while at ITT Corporation's Programming Technology Center in 1981. The earliest work on Objective-C traces back to around that time.[3] Cox was intrigued by problems of true reusability in software design and programming.
He realized that a language like Smalltalk would be invaluable in building development environments for system developers at ITT. However, he and Tom Love also recognized that backward compatibility with C was critically important in ITT's telecom engineering milieu.[4] Développer pour Iphone/Ipod Touch : Cocao (Objectif-C 2.0) + Iph.

Unlike C++, Objective-C doesn't have a way to differentiate between public and private methods—everything is public.
As a result, avoid placing methods in the public API unless they are actually expected to be used by a consumer of the class. This helps reduce the likelihood they'll be called when you're not expecting it. This includes methods that are being overridden from the parent class. For internal implementation methods, use a category defined in the implementation file as opposed to adding them to the public header. #import "GTMFoo.h" @interface GTMFoo (PrivateDelegateHandling) - (NSString *)doSomethingWithDelegate; // Declare private method @end @implementation GTMFoo (PrivateDelegateHandling) ... - (NSString *)doSomethingWithDelegate { // Implement this method } ...

Well, this was at 1.5 months, when we first got him... 11.4lbs And now at 3 months.. 21.7lbs He is going to be a monster!!
Damn he's cute!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah he is a mess... in a month, he has learned sit, lay down, and shake.. he is a genius!
When I was younger, my parents had an Alaskan Malamute. Huskys and Malamutes are definitely beautiful dogs. The best part is when they howl.
yeah that part is ok, until you are trying to leave and they get lonely... ha
Huskies are some of the best dogs out there. My sister has owned a total of half of dozen of them over the years. I think she still has 2-3 currently.
the vet said we could get him snipped in another 3 weeks... anyone out there do it this young? I have read mostly good things, but a few people i have seen said it causes them to grow taller.. i really dont want that, since he is going to be a monster anyway...
He is freaking adorable, and I don't even like dogs.
I got my dog snipped pretty young and he seemed to turn out just fine. I wouldn't worry about it.

Bringing your lunch to work for a week is one of our 51 foodie resolutions for 2015 [1], but this doesn't have to be a difficult or time-intensive task. It's a wonderful way to save money and fuel up on major flavor. These inviting dishes may inspire you to start packing a brown bag, even a few days out of the week. Take a look!

Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad
If quinoa is your go-to grain, then this quinoa tabbouleh salad [2] is bound to satisfy your craving. While it can be eaten warm, it's best cold or at room temperature, so just stick it in the fridge when you arrive at work, and it will be perfect at lunch.
Photo: Anna Monette Roberts
Turkey Club Sandwich
It's classic and comforting — and you can wrap a turkey club [3] in foil to go. Plus, it doesn't hurt that the smoky turkey and bacon complement the buttery flavors of the avocado and cheddar cheese perfectly.
Photo: Anna Monette Roberts
Steak Noodle Salad
Adding steak to a heaping pile of greens and noodles is a delicious way to use up leftover beef. Follow this recipe [4] and toss the noodles in the dressing the night before. That way, it's easy packing the next morning.

Quinoa Salad With Cherries and Feta
Make use of cherries while you can with a quinoa feta salad [5]. The juicy-salty combo mixes with grassy parsley, aromatic shallot, and nutty almonds for a brown-bag lunch like you've never tried.
Photo: Nicole Perry
Pasta With Nettles, Almonds, and Feta
While adding stinging nettles to pasta [6] may sound mildly risky for a lunch choice, when mixed with feta and almonds, it blends into a satisfying dish full of diverse flavors.
Photo: Nicole Perry
Kale Caesar Salad
If you love caesar salad but need a change of pace, then look no further [7]. Kale adds a bit of bite to enliven an otherwise classic caesar. Just make sure to pack the croutons separately so they don't get soggy.
Photo: Nicole Perry
Sesame-Ginger Soba Noodle Salad
This sesame-ginger soba noodle salad [8] is full of Southeast Asian flavor and reliably crisp vegetables, even at room temperature.
Photo: Nicole Perry
Cobb Salad Wrap
Forgo the sandwich altogether and wrap a Cobb salad [9] instead. Just grab some flatbread and you'll be on your way to some bacon, chicken, blue cheese, egg, and avocado goodness in no time!
Photo: Anna Monette Roberts
Spicy Tomato Soup
While your office probably doesn't have a stove top or oven, chances are there's a functioning microwave. Make a pot of spicy tomato soup [10] topped with . . . wait for it . . . grilled cheese croutons on Sunday night, and bring it for lunch Monday and Tuesday.
Photo: Nicole Perry
Farro Salad With Citrus Vinaigrette
This hearty farro salad [11] is guaranteed to give you the energy needed for a long day at work. The citrus vinaigrette dressing and fruit add a lively spring to this salad's step.

Turkey Sandwich With Manchego
Nothing says work lunch more than a turkey sandwich. We love this version [12] that combines layers of turkey meat with watercress, manchego, and pear butter.

Linguine With Kale and Chickpeas
Loaded with beans and plenty of greens, the flavor of this hearty linguine [13] is boosted by the addition of red pepper and garlic.
Photo: Nicole Perry
Chicken Kale Salad
The ingredient list of this chicken salad with kale [14] calls for a variety of colors and textures — think crunchy cucumber, creamy avocado, leafy kale, and comforting quinoa with a lemon-flavored dressing that will easily make your co-workers jealous.
Photo: Susannah Chen
Chicken Spaghetti Casserole
Pop this chicken spaghetti casserole [15] into the oven for dinner and look forward to enjoying what's left for lunch the following day.
Photo: Anna Monette Roberts
Shredded Brussels Sprouts and Kale Salad
Woodier, more fibrous leafy vegetables like brussels sprouts and kale hold up well overnight, even in cold salads, like this salad [16] with sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, and a maple-mustard vinaigrette.
Photo: Susannah Chen
Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta Salad
With its piquant flavors and toothsome texture, sun-dried tomato pasta salad [17] is sure to rise you out of a midday slump.

Chipotle's Chili Recipe
This Chipotle chili hack [18] tastes even better the next day, so pack leftovers in a Tupperware and savor every bite of this top-secret recipe.

10 Principles of Primal Living That Are (Finally) Getting Mainstream Media Coverage
Posted By Mark Sisson On April 30, 2014 @ 8:00 am In Gut Health,Top 10 Lists | 136 Comments
We don't take credit for everything, of course, but the fact remains that the Primal/ancestral health community has been championing principles that directly oppose the conventional wisdom [7] for nearly a decade. And while serious researchers have been paying attention to and studying these issues individually for years, no one had really synthesized them under the evolutionary umbrella. Now that our movement is becoming more popular and the scientific case for its principles more solid than ever, denying that a bit of sun might be good for you or that sitting is killing you slowly or that eggs aren't deadly after all is no longer tenable.
Yes, Primal health principles and positions are getting mainstream recognition. Let's take a look at some of the major ones.
Everyone knows that being sedentary is a poor health choice. But most people figured the solution was to set aside regular times each week to exercise. Formal exercise was the answer, and movement was segregated from "normal" life. As long as you hit the gym every other day, you could do nothing for the remainder of your time and be perfectly healthy.
That's just intermittent sedentism, though, and it doesn't work [8]. Frequent low level movement [9] throughout the day punctuated by intermittent bouts of intense exercise is what I've prescribed for years, and the mainstream is beginning to get the hint. Articles lamenting the prevalence of sitting, its scary effect on our health, and how exercising isn't enough to counter it [10] come out on a regular basis now [11].
Going barefoot [12] is perhaps the most intuitive Primal lifestyle change. People can deny the meat-eating, fat-loving, sun-seeking behavior, they can claim that "sleep is for the weak" and "gluten-free is a fad" all they want, but they can't ignore the shoeless feet that humans have been born with for millions of years. The bare feet we wear to bed at night somehow use to walk without teetering over and falling or twisting an ankle on the way to the bathroom are also fairly competent vehicles for daily locomotion.
Ignoring the big push back from podiatrists [13] (likely worried about losing patients and orthotics addicts), the mass media coverage of barefooting has been reasonable [14]. They don't wholeheartedly endorse it, but then again, neither do we [15] without caveats like "do it gradually" and "walk before you run." Harvard even has a guide to safe barefoot running [16]. And the people who matter – the ones who decide to or decide not to go barefoot, as opposed to the experts urging them to reconsider – are embracing it; sales of shoes that emulate the unshod state have stabilized but remain high [17].
Saturated fat [18] was a big hurdle to overcome for everyone, even in the ancestral health community. I never really considered it to be a big issue [19], but decades of indoctrination about the evils of saturated fat made – and makes – it the most stubborn piece of misguided CW.
Things are changing. Dr. Oz just came out in support of saturated fat on his blog [20] and on his show [21] (with Peter Attia). Late last year, a British cardiologist wrote [22] in a leading medical journal that "saturated fat is not the problem." The pathetic response dripping with cognitive dissonance [23] from the experts doesn't change the reality: people are realizing that saturated fat in the context of a healthy diet is not the problem and may even be a healthy fuel source.
It used to be that suggesting the gut could affect the way your brain functioned would get you laughed out of the room for peddling woo-woo alternative medicine nonsense. And sure, there remain some holdouts among the cynic – I mean skeptic – community, who insist that "it's too early to make conclusions" and thus "don't waste your time trying to figure out gut health until the experts reach consensus and your doctor can tell you what to do."
Meanwhile, reasonable people agree that the gut is the next big thing – in mental, digestive, immune, and overall health – and that we have plenty of actionable information. The Public Library of Science (PLOS) blog is writing about fecal transplants [24], for crying out loud. NPR is writing [25] about the ability of your gut bacteria to control your mind, and Wired just published an interview [26] with a researcher obsessed with the danger posed by antibiotics to our gut bacteria.
Mentioning leaky gut used to get you laughed out of a doctor's appointment. It used to be the province of the quacks, the charlatans, the snake oil salesmen, and the ancestral health community.
We didn't make it up. Researchers have been studying and referencing "intestinal permeability" and the exogenous agents and physiological conditions that cause it for years [27]. It's an established fact that the tight junctions lining the small intestine can become "leaky" and permit passage of potentially harmful or antigenic compounds into the body. Heck, for infants, a decent level of intestinal permeability is physiologically normal, expected, and even necessary! But until recently, it wasn't acknowledged as real in the mainstream.
And even though it remains off the radar of most medical professionals, the Daily Beast just published a piece [28] acknowledging both its existence and probable role in many illnesses. Will that change everything? Nope. It's a good start, though.
Although fervent opposition persists [29], the notion that gluten can be problematic for people other than celiacs is gaining wider acceptance.
One of the top tennis players in the game is famously gluten-free [30]. Gluten sensitivity is an accepted clinical entity [31]. Google searches for "gluten [32]" have been trending higher month over month for years, while the number of searches for "celiac" has plateaued, indicating that something else is going on. Around 30% of American adults currently try to reduce or eliminate gluten from their diets, according to a recent poll [33], and gluten-free dating sites [34] are helping gluten-free dieters match up with people who share their situation. To top it all off, the FDA's just weighed [35] in with some official standards for gluten-labeling.
The mainstream coverage of sunlight is still mainly negative, but there's a little ray of hope poking through: a begrudging acknowledgment that strict avoidance of it often results in vitamin D deficiency [36]. Even if their answer is to keep avoiding it and pop a few D3 capsules [37], they've admitted that the sun provides a benefit, and that's big.
You've got the most prestigious publication in the history of the world, the Daily Mail, cautioning against strict sun avoidance [38] in 2012. The Huffington Post published a similar message [39] in 2010. Anti-sun hysteria remains the law of the land, but the message is significantly softened.
For years, we were told that margarine was the healthier choice. It had SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY behind it. Plus, we made it, and everyone knows that we've conquered and surpassed nature. Except margarine is disgusting. The older ones were full of trans-fat and the new ones are full of omega-6 [40].
As for butter [41]? US butter consumption has reached its highest level in 40 year [42] and margarine has tanked [43]. Butter is back [44], my friends, and untouched, unsold containers of weirdly-solid-at-room-temp margarine are filling dumpsters and crowding landfills as we speak. Not even the back alley vermin will touch it, preferring instead to scour the butter wrappers for remnants. Margarine lost. Butter won [45].
Eggs are a good example of the oscillatory nature of nutritional advice. "First eggs were killing us, now they're okay, next they're bad…" Well, I've been saying it for years: eggs are good for you, darn good for you, and it sounds like people are beginning to get it. Sure, you've got the diehard zealots who compare egg yolks [46] to cigarettes and do their best to scare you off them, but they're running out of steam and their arguments always fail under scrutiny [47].
Meanwhile, the people are eating their whole eggs. Even the usually complicit media is including some skepticism [48] about the results in their coverage of the latest anti-egg studies, and other articles are downright bullish on eggs [49].
For years, we've been seeing and pointing to [50] reports of connections between statins and diabetes, dementia, muscle pain/wasting, and overall unintended health consequences to little mainstream avail. Sure, you guys reading this are probably a bit more cautious before popping the pills, but statins are still the biggest drugs on the market.
The recent push to include an even larger swathe of the population [51] in the "statins required" category has received a ton of resistance [52], which is awesome to see. Some health experts are even recommending caution [53] when it comes to the new guidelines. And now the FDA itself is warning consumers that statins may cause memory loss and diabetes [54].
What do you think, folks? Have you noticed a shift in the public perception of some of these issues? What other changes are you noticing?
Thanks for reading, all!

Non-scheduled flights can remit airport charges round the clock
Cash transactions for various airport charges by non-scheduled flights landing at the international airport here have become history with the commissioning of a GPRS-enabled Electronic Data Capture (EDC) terminal on Monday.
With this, the non-scheduled airlines landing at the airport can remit the airport charges to the Airports Authority of India (AAI) round the clock through credit, debit, or corporate cards.
Work simplified
Till now, flight handlers and pilots of aircraft landing here unexpectedly were required to carry huge amounts of cash to make the payments. Often, Air Traffic Control personnel had to collect the money, and it was laborious for them to complete the formalities.
G. Asok Kumar, Joint Secretary, Civil Aviation, commissioned the EDC at a function at the AAI office in the presence of Rajesh Bhandari, Executive Director, Finance, AAI, and V.N. Chandran, Airport Director.
The facility will reduce the workload of the AAI personnel as it will help check fake currency and enable transactions in a more transparent manner and in real time. The EDC will be with the finance wing of the AAI here.
Mr. Chandran said the facility would be extended to scheduled airlines later.
The EDC is a point-of-sale terminal for submitting and validating credit card transactions to a merchant account provider, or some other credit card transaction processor.
An initiative of the Union Civil Aviation Ministry, the EDC was commissioned at Juhu in Mumbai and Dabolim in Goa in the first phase.
