UPDATED: Friday, December 16, 2011 - 10:29am
NBC NATIONAL NEWS — For many golfers, getting a hole in one is a story they only dream to tell, but at a Bonita Springs, Florida golf course that happened not once, not twice, but three times on the same hole with 90 minutes.
Edward Delson's shot landed in the rough and bounced twice.
"Then it just simply disappeared and I figured a gopher got it or it went into the hole," said Delson.
His was the first hole in one of the day at Spanish Wells Golf Course.
"It was so good that Theo followed shortly after," said Delson.
The par 3 hole number 4 east is one of the more difficult fairways on the course, but is one Theo Netler didn't shy away from.
"I took a hop about a foot short of the pin and dropped it in the pin. It disappeared," said Netler.

I knew there was a reason to give Philosophy another go. Filed under: Philosophy Tagged: Epicurus, Happiness, Philosophy There are many things that make one happy, but what if our fundamental approach is wrong? Harvard psychologist Dan Gilbert looks into other ways of thinking about happiness and the overall take we have on our self. "Human beings are works in progress that mistakenly think they're finished." Dan Gilbert shares recent research on a phenomenon he calls the "end of history illusion," where we somehow imagine that the person we are right now is the person we'll be for the rest of time. Hint: that's not the case. Pope Francis may still be immersed in a certain amount of traditional Catholic misogyny, but he is nonetheless a breath of fresh air for the church, and for that matter, Christianity. In a recent interview he offered 10 tips to achieve happiness. The tips are worth repeating not only because they make good sense but because they are rather surprising coming from the world's top Christian: 1. " I used to hate being alone. I remember as a teenager, aching for the phone to ring, rifling through my closet for something 'cool' to wear, wandering the halls of my university residence listening for signs of music and laughter.

The book Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life by Dr. Martin Seligman is not new, but it is to me. For others who have not heard about it before, it looks like an uplifting read. The central thesis of the book is to essentially learn what a worthwhile life is for you and to un-learn the other things: learn optimism.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Grit Index: D-backs top Dodgers despite stagnant offense
When Arizona Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson set his lineup on Monday, he did his best to gain an edge against the Los Angeles Dodgers' left-handed starter Hyun-Jin Ryu, penciling in eight right-handed bats and placing utility man Willie Bloomquist in left field.
Nonetheless, his team only managed two hits against Ryu, who pitched a complete game for the Dodgers.
Somehow, though, the pair of hits -- which included a Paul Goldschmidt two-run home run in the first inning -- was enough to beat the southpaw 2-1, handing him his seventh loss of the season.
Trevor Cahill, on the other hand, cruised through the game's first five innings, allowing just one hit and one walk to the division-leading Dodgers. The right-hander worked four straight 1-2-3 innings after the first inning.
Ryu also scored his team's only run, after earning a leadoff walk off of Cahill in the sixth. Following Ryu's free pass, leadoff man Nick Punto -- Hanley Ramirez's replacement at shortstop for the night -- knocked a double to deep left-center field, advancing Ryu to third base. The Dodgers' next man up, second baseman Mark Ellis, also walked, loading the bases for all-star first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. Diamondbacks catcher Tuffy Goesewich trotted out to the mound for a discussion with Cahill and the tandem ultimately got Gonzalez to fly out to shallow left field.
Then, up stepped cleanup hitter Yasiel Puig to the intermixed boos and cheers of the Chase Field crowd. The rookie rightfielder worked a full count against Cahill, before ultimately taking ball four on an outside offering. The discipline brought home Ryu, decreasing the Diamondbacks' lead to one run and inducing a double switch from Gibson, who swapped out his pitcher-catcher duo with Josh Collmenter and Wil Nieves.
Collmenter, the invaluable bullpen asset, struck out the first hitter he faced, Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis. Then, he ended an eight-pitch Skip Schumaker at-bat with a broken bat one-hopper to second base, stranding Punto, Mark Ellis and Puig with the final out of the Dodgers' sixth.
Collmenter returned for the seventh inning, getting the Dodgers' 7-8-9 hitters out in order.
The Diamondbacks' second hit of the night came in the bottom half of the 7th inning, when Aaron Hill lined a two-out single to left field.
Recently recalled reliever David Hernandez was, once again, a sight for the sore eyes of Diamondbacks fans in the eighth inning, returning to the mound for his vintage 8th-inning setup role Monday and getting through the top of the Dodgers' order with a pair of strikeouts and a flyout, despite hitting Mark Ellis. Hernandez hit 97 mph on the radar gun several times in the outing. He battled through a nine-pitch at-bat with Gonzalez, who had speedy pinch runner Dee Gordon on first base. And he got Puig to chase an 83-mile-per-hour curveball off the plate for the final out of the inning.
Brad Ziegler, who was battling a sinus infection, came in to close out the 9th inning and he got into immediate trouble.
Aafter giving up back-to-back singles to start the inning, Ziegler fielded a sacrifice bunt attempt off the bat of Juan Uribe and fiered to third baseman Martin Prado to get the lead runner and the first out of the inning. The next at-bat ended in a groundout, advancing the runners to second and third base for pinch hitter Matt Kemp, who was reinstated just before Monday's game.
But Kemp's first at-bat since July 21 ended with him flailing at a way-off-the-plate slider from Ziegler.
With the win, the Diamondbacks kept the Dodgers from inching closer to clinching the NL West, improving to 9-7 against their division foe on the season.
The Good:
David Hernandez's trip to Reno has proven more than effective. In seven outings since being recalled on September 3, the hard-throwing right-hander has allowed just two hits and two walks, and no runs, while hitting a batter and striking out eight. His velocity seems to be up, with his fastball being clocked as high as 97 mph over the weekend, and his command has been on point.
The Bad:
Martin Prado's hot second half seems to be sizzling out. Over his last 11 games, he's hitting .146 with a .163 on-base percentage, two RBI and a walk.
- Trevor Cahill is 6-0 with a 2.01 ERA in his career against the Dodgers.
- Brad Ziegler took sole possession of ninth place on the D-backs all-time relief appearance list (172.0 IP), breaking a tie with Chad Qualls (171.0 IP).
- Paul Goldschmidt has homered in back-to-back games for the first time since August-3-4, hitting his 33rd on Monday.
He Said It:
"He came into a very tough spot right there and that's one of those things when you think about what you're going to do that you take into consideration. You know, bases loaded with one out and he comes in and he gets two guys, then he goes out and gives you another inning. It was clutch and it was a very good performance by him. He's got a great demeanor for that situation." - Gibson on Collmenter's performance
Up Next:
Left-hander Patrick Corbin (14-6, 2.92 ERA) will look to give the Diamondbacks yet another solid outing as he faces Dodgers right-hander Zack Greinke (14-3, 2.74 ERA), who hasn't lost in his last nine starts. First pitch is at 6:40 p.m. MDT and can be heard on Arizona Sports 620 AM.

Some thought Cambodia was a 'model' in the garment industry. But after a ceiling collapse at an Asics shoe factory, critics say they're dead wrong.
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — Hem Navy lies on a stretcher in the emergency room of a local hospital, hours after she was pulled out from under the collapsed ceiling of an Asics shoe factory in the southwestern province of Kompong Speu.
Half her face is severely bruised with signs of internal bleeding around her eyes, and her left foot is bundled in a bloody bandage.
"When the ceiling fell, I ran to try and escape it," she said.
She's among nine workers injured and sent to the capital city following the ceiling collapse Thursday morning in Taiwanese-owned Wing Star Shoes Co. Ltd, which makes sneakers for well-known Japanese sports brand Asics.
A female and a male coworker, Sim Srey Touch and Rim Saroeun, both 22, died.
This comes barely three weeks after a clothing factory collapsed in Bangladesh and killed more than 1,100 workers, the single deadliest disaster for the global garment industry that has galvanized international brands and governments to re-examine the industry's safety standards.
It's partly Bangladesh's questionable standards that draw global buyers to Cambodia, where a United Nations-backed program monitors plants for safety.
Global retail giants — such as H&M, Gap, Puma and Wal-Mart — have flocked to Cambodia as a cheap labor alternative.
Experts even have exalted Cambodia as something of a "model" — at least in comparison with Bangladesh.
Now, after the deadly Wing Star Shoes accident, many want a closer look at what cracks are emerging in this Southeast Asian country's facilities, and what's being done about it.
Two days before the shoemaking plant's collapse, Navy heard a sharp sound, she said, likening it to the gnashing of steel beams.
"We heard it but we did not see any cracks in the building, so we dared not tell the manager," she said.
Then, on Thursday, the mezzanine level above the factory's entryway buckled under the weight of concrete flooring and hundreds of boxes of shoes stored there. Authorities have blamed the collapse on shoddy construction of the mezzanine, which the factory had done without a permit.
That's troubling for Cambodia, where last year the garment industry generated more than $4 billion in exports, over 80 percent of its gross domestic product, and which is supposed to be carrying out exemplary efforts to ensure buildings are safe workplaces.
Since 2001, the International Labor Organization (ILO), a UN agency, has sponsored a Best Factories program there.
While that produces bi-yearly "synthesis" reports about the industry in Cambodia, detailing trends in terms of noncompliance issues, the program does not disclose the names of factories that are failing to comply with the law.
As a result, critics of Better Factories Cambodia, or BFC — which has an annual budget of about $1.2 million — say factory violations persist. They say factory owners and international brands do not feel compelled to make the necessary changes.
Cambodia, a 'model' compared to what?
Despite the recent ceiling collapse at Wing Star Shoes, Van Sou Ieng, chairman of the Garment Manufacturers Association in Cambodia, said Cambodia could still be seen as a model.
The Better Factories program is "good enough" in terms of its monitoring, said Van, whose group represents more than 500 exporting factories employing more than 650,000 workers.
"[Better Factories] monitors all the factories for compliance of labor standards and international human rights standards," Van said. "Enforcement should be under the Cambodian authority, and when the Cambodian government allows an international body to inspect their national factories, it's already a huge step forward."
Defending the industry's safety standards, he said such an incident has only happened twice during his 20-year tenure as chairman. The previous accident, which occurred a few years ago, had no deaths or injuries, he added.
"We regret that such things happen and it is very sad to see there are casualties — two deceased and nine injured," Van said. "But it doesn't happen all the time."
However, Dave Welsh, country director of the Solidarity Center, a US-based workers' advocacy organization, had a less rosy view. Welsh said Cambodia's "model" industry is only in comparison to Bangladesh, where workers get paid approximately $39 a month.
In addition to Bangladesh's Rana Plaza building collapse last month, more than 600 garment workers have died in factory fires there since 2006, according to research by the advocacy group International Labor Rights Forum.

"That is such a low threshold and it's crucial from a worker standpoint and a trade union rights standpoint that [international brands] aim higher than that," Welsh said.
To become a "model industry," he recommends that the Cambodian government impose an appropriate living wage, enact a trade union law to protect union activists, and abolish the excessive use of short-term contracts — which union leaders believe creates job insecurity for workers.
"The idea is not for brands to cut and run because that would impoverish some of the world's poorest workers," Welsh continued. "The idea is [for the brands] to put your money where your mouth is and actually institute serious reforms on workers and trade union rights in the industry."
As for the Better Factories program's monitoring of more than 300 garment factories for safety and health compliance with the country's labor law, Welsh said it is hamstrung by its financial backers, which include the government, the factories and the brands.

NY Daily News: Second Amendment Supporters Guilty of Murder in Colorado
In a July 21 column by the editorial board of the New York Daily News, there is fault assigned for the massacre in a Colorado theater. The fault is not just assigned to killer James Holmes, but absurdly to Obama, Romney, the NRA and every American that wants to protect the Constitution of the United States. That's not too much hyperbole, is it?
This extreme, even silly, piece can be considered no less than a screed, an attack on nearly everyone but the man who pulled the trigger on that horrible night. The blame is cast so broadly as to seem idiotic, making the whole editorial something to dismiss instead of something to ponder.
To the editorial board of the NY Daily News, not only is Obama "standing at Holme's side" as he "sprayed bullets and buckshot into a crowded movie theater" but so was Mitt Romney, the NRA and its President, and every American "zealot" for the Second Amendment.
"In a vain claim of innocence," the NY Daily News accuses, "the fanatics will say Holmes is a monster and a maniac, that he fired and fired and fired as a man possessed. Each protestation clamps their fingers with his around the trigger."
Any American interested in the Constitution and the Second Amendment is a gripped by "conscienceless extremism" that dismisses mass killings as if they are but a "fatal highway pileup," the editorial cries.
The Daily continues the hyperbole with, "The day-to-day mayhem of street-crime shootings, responsible for more deaths than all the mass carnage combined, makes it to the police blotter, the courts, the newspapers, the emergency rooms and the cemeteries."
But according to the FBI's crime stats, 2011 crime is down from 2010 by .08 percent. And it's down more year-to-year between 2007 and 2011 (FBI Preliminary 2011 Crime Stats).
And speaking of "highway pileups," about 37,000 Americans die every year in auto accidents while only about 8,700 are killed with firearms. So, why don't we see the NY Daily News saying that every car dealer and driver "has blood on their hands."
Again the Daily's absurdity is on full display when one reads its dramatics over less than 9,000 deaths a year when compared to the almost 40,00 killed in automobile accidents. Why are auto deaths at a rate four times more any less outrageous, New York Daily News?
This all smacks of a political agenda as opposed to the NY Daily News' anguish over large numbers of dead Americans.
Now, is it 8,700 too many Americans killed with firearms? Nearly, yes. But the hyperbole of the NY Daily News does not tend to help the situation. This over-the-top blather about how everyone and his brother is at fault makes any argument for change the paper may want to seriously propose become so easily dismissible as to make their effort clownish instead of setting them as worthy players in the discussion.
Worse, the NY Daily News wants to use this tragic crime as a political tool in order to bring back the lamentable, but not lamentably ended, 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, a law so fraught with mistakes, confusion, and over generalities that few worried over much about its sunset provisions when they went into effect on 2004.
If the New York Daily News wanted to enter into a serious discussion of gun control in America, it would have been well advised not to sound like a child outrageously blaming everyone but himself for getting caught stealing a cookie from the cookie jar. With this one, the paper made itself look entirely foolish.

The blower final stage fan resistor is known to fail. Symptoms are the heater fan speed varies regardless of the setting, the fan will not turn off when the car is switched off, or the fan will not switch on at all.
Google+Car Problem Reports
BMW 330Ci Blower Final Stage Fan Resistor May Fail
BMW 330Ci Problem
Model Years Affected: 2001, 2002, 2003
Average Mileage: 113,500 mi (77,000 mi - 161,000 mi)
Visitor, 2001 BMW 330Ci, 110,000 mi
The problem beagn with an erratic performance of the blower motor. It would run at different speeds and ultimately would not shut off even with the key removed, folowed by an electrical burning smell and then nothing would work. It was the final stage unit (aka the fan resistor) $220.00 to fix at the local gargae.

''Sights'' ... I think you mean
Are you wanting help with using sights or - actually sighting gun in to get it hitting the right spot?
In case you want a refresh on use of open sights - check out my thread from a ways back .
or this link - http://www.combatcarry.com/vbulletin...ead.php?t=4264

Thanks, Chris, for your in "sight". I'll be sure and go to the right "site" to figure out how to "sight" in my pistols.
That's a "site" better than what I'm doing now.
Ok, I'll stop.
Az tho some of it is " counter intuitive " on a glance at it , its not rocket science . but before you re sight a gun be shure that you dont have some bad habits such as " pulling " with your trigger control . Honestly IMHO most times sights are close , the user may well cast off tho .
Make sure you get full value out of today , Do something worthwhile, because what you do today will cost you one day off the rest of your life .
We only begin to understand folks after we stop and think .
Criminals are looking for victims, not opponents.
Yup, what RR said. Unless your doing serious target shooting, dont fool with your sights.
If you have true adjustable sights, still dont fool with them until you shoot consistant patterns with the pistol or you will just end up in a never ending cycle of chasing bad habits.
"Just blame Sixto"
When I sight in my rifles, I put them on sand bags to take me out of the equation. I fire three shots at the center mark from the desired distance, evaluate and make a slight adjustment. You don't want to over-adjust. Repeat until weapon is on target. If it is suddenly off target when you remove it from the sandbags, you have an issue with the way you're using the weapon.
I haven't owned a pistol with adjustable sights yet, but in the event that I do, I'll use the same method.
Excellent advice. Thanks! Oh, I have four pistols now (two that the wife knows of...). Two of them are "dead on" for targets and the other two are dreadful. One is high left, the other is low right. Go figure?
Glad to help. :) Just make sure you pull the trigger real slow, keep the gun braced, and most of all, keep it real steady on the bags. The point of course being that the sights are pointed steady at the target and that the weapon does not move at all.
If the group looks too spread out, depending on the particular gun and distance of course, there could be some other problem.
If the group is consistently high and to the left as you say, then the sights need to be adjusted. If they can't be hand adjusted with simple tools, a gunsmith will have to mill them for you or install a different set of sights.
Way back when, I was a decent shot with my S&W revolvers. I am relatively new to pistols. I had an issue with my Officer's ACP hitting low. I was thinking the problem was grip or wrist tension related. One of my customers is a shooting range owner/trainer & I talked with him about the problem I was having. He suggested that I was pulling it down with the trigger. I thought he was full of baloney, but it turns out he was right on. Live & learn.
When sighting in a rifle it makes it very easy if you have access to a laser boresighter. Laser boresight mine in the house at a .5 inch "target" 25 feet away. Works great. It is usually pretty close to zero at 25 yards.
After zeroing the rifle at 25 yards take the target down range to the 50, 75 or 100 yard target and check the zero there. All my high power rifles are zeroed to shoot 2 inches high at 100 yards.

text: BB was asked if Moss may return and play Friday...he said the usual "day to day". However, he also said he had a much better weekend than end of last week and that he is now much further along than he was last Friday. It seems to me that we are talking days here, maybe a week and then he will be back out..barring a setback of course.

Migraine Triggers May Not Always Trigger Migraines »
"Jan. 23, 2013 -- Worrying about what may trigger a migraine attack adds to the discomfort of many people with migraines. But according to a new study from Denmark, much of that worry may be unfounded.
The researchers studied the effect of l"...
Read the Migraine Triggers May Not Always Trigger Migraines article »
Ergotamine is an alpha adrenergic blocking agent with a direct stimulating effect on the smooth muscle of peripheral and cranial blood vessels and produces depression of central vasomotor centers. The compound also has the properties of serotonin antagonism. In comparison to hydrogenated ergotamine, the adrenergic blocking actions are less pronounced and vasoconstrictive actions are greater.
Caffeine, also a cranial vasoconstrictor, is added to further enhance the vasoconstrictive effect without the necessity of increasing ergotamine dosage.
Many migraine patients experience excessive nausea and vomiting during attacks, making it impossible for them to retain any oral medication. In such cases, therefore, the only practical means of medication is through the rectal route where medication may reach the cranial vessels directly, evading the splanchnic vasculature and the liver.
Interactions: Pharmacokinetic interactions (increased blood levels of ergotamine) have been reported in patients treated orally with ergotamine and macrolide antibiotics (e.g., troleandomycin, clarithromycin, erythromycin), and in patients treated orally with ergotamine and protease inhibitors (e.g. ritonavir) presumably due to inhibition of cytochrome P450 3A metabolism of ergotamine (see CONTRAINDICATIONS). Ergotamine has also been shown to be an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 3A catalyzed reactions. No pharmacokinetic interactions involving other cytochrome P450 isoenzymes are known.

The topic for the month of May is Nourish - and this is a topic that has been weighing heavily on my mind lately.
As someone who is mostly vegan, I should eat healthy. It sounds like I would, right? And sometimes I do. Other times, I eat horribly. And I really think the lack of consistency in my life impacts it so much. At home, I have the chance to cook. On the road I have to eat out. And not every restaurant (or every geographic region for that matter) caters to vegetarians, let alone those trying to eat vegan. Mostly, it means eating a whole lot of carbs and processed food - or living on plain salads.
One perk of eating on the road is that I seem to be eating regularly, which is something that doesn't always happen at home. I rarely eat breakfast at home (unless you count coffee!) and even at meal time my diet is rarely balanced due to tiny humans who steal from my plate and rarely let me consume a hot meal. We are trying to make an effort to have more sit down dinners as a family, but even as small as my children are now it seems that's rarely possible with dance lessons and soccer practice and playdates and... And then there is all the candy and junk that seems to come along with children - and my extreme lack of willpower in its presence.
In a nutshell, my diet is in serious need of an overhaul. Perhaps this is just the month to do it. Time to do some research. I've been told that Becoming Vegan is a phenomenal resource for learning about nutrition for vegans, and it's been patiently waiting for me on my iPad to read. Time to get reading...
Anyone want to read it with me?

And there are plenty of other centrist Democratic organizations picking up the slack. The Progressive Policy Institute, a think tank that spun off from the DLC in 2009, is alive and well. So is the New Democrat Network and Third Way. The Center for American Progress, founded by Clinton White House alumnus John Podesta, also qualifies as centrist and has the benefit of close ties to the Obama White House. The last DLC-er who could make that boast – the group's CEO, Bruce Reed – just left the organization to become Vice President Biden's chief of staff. He had just completed a stint as executive director of Mr. Obama's fiscal commission.
On Capitol Hill, the ranks of the moderates have thinned in recent elections. The resignation of centrist Rep. Jane Harman (D) of California, to become president of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars here in Washington, means the departure of yet another centrist "Blue Dog" Democrat from the House. The Blue Dogs have gone from 54 members in the last Congress to 25 now. Republican moderates have taken a similar beating, either through retirement or election losses.

Music collection database
Organize and manage your far-flung music collection with this free database software.
It's hard enough to keep up with a digital music collection spanning thousands of tunes over gigabytes of disk space, but what do you do if you have LP records, cassette tapes, Edison wax cylinders, and other musical media? Duck Software's Album Tracker can help music lovers get a handle on their ever-expanding libraries. It's a highly customizable music database that lets you organize your music by genre as well as title, artist, and other typical categories. It's not a music or media player and doesn't try to reorganize or convert your library; it simply lets you record, save, search, and display a lot of information about your music collection.
Album Tracker's businesslike interface has fields for entering everything from artist, title, and category to engineer, producer, and buy price. There are even fields for tracking items out on loan as well as two custom fields, but we just had to click Custom Fields on the menu bar to change the heading of any field or restore default settings. A series of Category tabs sorts collections by genre: Acoustic, Alternative, Comedy, Country, and so on. Alphabetical buttons along the bottom let us quickly access entries sorted by title or artist. Album Tracker includes several sample entries to give new users a feel for the program; we started by editing an Artist entry from "Mellencamp, John Cougar" to "Mellencamp, John," which proved as easy as selecting the field and typing in the data. Album Tracker offers some interesting extras, such as the ability to print labels, title lists, and reports as well as add image files and notes. You can also save and export data in CSV format to other databases and apps.
Album Tracker is easy to use yet offers the kind of flexibility that serious collectors require. We'd like to be able to customize the Categories tabs, and a built-in music player for identifying files couldn't hurt, either. The only real drawback of Album Tracker, or of any organizer or database software, for that matter, is that you have to enter the data, which of course requires some effort, especially if you have a large collection. But let's face it: Those stacks of used LPs aren't going to catalog themselves, and the sooner you get started on the job, the sooner you'll be done, and then it's a simple matter of updating as required.

As it stands the only useful thread running here is the accessories forum.
I've been with this site since 2006. Longer than most of the thread complainers here. I have watched many come and many go, I figured I would come out of the woodwork and put some juice back into Vivid development being that it's become a ghostown recently.
I have set up shop on "another site" with users who actually contribute, and a place that I've been on since 2003, all finds and the big announcement will be announced there. The level of immaturity growing here is getting ridiculous. People need to stop hating and get back to working.
XDA has always been a good resource but you can smell the double standard on these forums from a mile away as of recent.

Alright, InDy is my b***h, but I can't crack this one: the resize icons and other features are missing from the bottom of the Glyph palette. It disappeared about a week ago, and I can't get it back. I've tried opening from the "Type" menu, from the "Window" menu; had it in the palette dock, ripped it out. Checked out the fly-out menu on the glyph palette. Nothting. App and OS restarts aplenty, too.
I never considered it to be too important, but I really miss this feature! Any ideas?

text: The Mauler wiki last edited by KillerZ on 09/10/14 06:25PM View full history MAULER is a multi-purpose combat suit that stands for Mobile Armored Utility Laser-guided E-beam Revised developed by industrialist Edwin Cord, president of Cord Conglomerate for the United States Department of Defense. The suit was a prototype to be mass produced and used by the US Army. However the Defense Department cancelled the contract funding The Raidersfor the MAULER program because of a security breach. Cord came very close to bankruptcy and risked his company's remaining money in a similar battle suit called Raider. Cord dispatched three mercenaries to attack Iron Man in order to demonstrate the Raider combat suit to Purchasing Agent Burke of SHIELD hoping that SHIELD would be impressed by the suit's ability and bail out Cord's company due to the MAULER failure. Agent Burke had Cord arrested and was convicted for reckless endangerment. Cord was in financial ruin and sold his company to Stark International. The MAULER battle suit was stored in a Long Island warehouse. Two other men wore the armor and assumed the identity of the MAULER. The first was Aaron Soames who was a disgruntled Cord employee that stole the suit to exact revenge on Edwin Cord who had replaced him with a computer. The second person was a thug named Turk that stole the suit to use in a personal vendetta against Daredevil. Both men are currently in jail.Cord then hired a mercenary named Brendan Doyle to steal the MAULER suit and erase from Stark Internationale's computer records all information regarding its origin, design, specifications and whereabouts. Cord had plans to rent the MAULER suit to the highest bidder to finance his return to civilian life after prison. Doyle managed to gain access to the MAULER suit by a former friend named James Rhodes who was a Stark employee at the time. Doyle failed to erase the computer records and was not willing to take a former comrade's life to do it. Doyle resigned his loyalty to Cord and flew off with the MAULER suit.During the Armor Wars Iron Man was waiting for Doyle to return from a competition. When Doyle walked into the room Stark, in armor, ordered him to surrender the armor. Doyle, who had it in his bag, handed it over without a fight stating that he was paid to fight. Stark took the armor and left.James Rhodes used the armor himself one time when he was trying to infiltrate a group that was known for selling Stark Tech. The armor, flown by a remote, was later blasted to pieces. Doyle would again done the armor during the Civil War conflict. Then he would team-up with Mr. Hyde, King Cobra, and Firebrand to try to assassinate the Taskmaster who had a contract out on him. Meteor ManThe Looter/Meteor Man stole equipment taken from several supervillains--among the items he got was a Mauler suit. He used the Mauler suit to rob money while having someone else get blamed (Maulercouldn't have done it since he was in jail). However Spider-Man managed to defeat him in a fight. It is unknown if Meteor Man still has anything from Mauler's weaponry. Powers and Abilities Mauler in ActionThe MAULER is a flexible-offensive battle suit that grants the wearer flight, great strength and equipped with various weapons. The main weapon is a 600 watt laser cannon capable of slicing through three inches of steel in .04 seconds. The secondary weapon is a 400 watt, electron particle gun and finally the E-beam gun fires short bursts of highly concussive electrons in range of 500 to 1,200 pounds of TNT.
