The extremely courteous, knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiatic staff, made me feel happy and totally welcome from the moment that I arrived at the Ampersand, until the minute that I climbed into my taxi for the airport.

On our arrival and departure of the hotel we found the staff very pleasant and helpful. Our room was located at the back of the hotel on the 3rd floor.

New Principles Aim to Guide Use, Protection of Student Data
More than 30 groups representing school officials and educational data-use proponents have signed on to new principles related to student data.
More than 30 groups representing school officials and educational data-use proponents have signed on to new principles related to student data.
The education technology community must continue waiting for details on the new federal Student Digital Privacy Act proposed by President Obama earlier this month.
States must shift from a compliance-driven approach to a "customer service" based system when sharing student education data with parents, students and educators.
States have established data systems collecting student education data, but now need to find ways to use that information effectively, a new report finds.
Companies now have a voluntary pledge for privacy practices they can sign as K-12 service providers, but some privacy advocates say it doesn't go far enough.
Nevada's state longitudinal data system does not contain readable records for individual children, state officials said, raising new questions in the educational-data debate.
As teacher preparation programs come under increasing pressure to track the effectiveness of their graduates, a new report by the Data Quality Campaign finds that fewer than half of states provide annual data on teacher performance to colleges of education.
Data on graduation rates, postsecondary success, and the efficacy of teacher preparation programs are three important areas affected by the lack of collaboration.
With the infrastructure for robust, longitudinal education data systems in place for most states, the Data Quality Campaign says the focus should now be on helping educators use the systems more effectively.
While every state now has the ability to use data to guide education policy decisions, the reality is many don't still take advantage of it. The latest snapshot of state-by-state progress on information sharing, Data for Action 2011, was released yesterday by the Data Quality Campaign, a national c...

|PIease Read Before Adopting a Norwich Terrier in California
Norwich Terrier Dogs can make good pets in California if they match your IifestyIe. Norwich Terriers are nearly identical to Norfolk Terriers, by which they differ only cosmetically (These two Terriers were once considered to be the same breed.) Norwich Terriers have an excellent disposition, are wonderful with children, and typically can get along with other pets. Norwich Terriers need to be with people and should have good obedience training. Housebreaking may require some patience. Norwich Terriers can live in an apartment if they get enough exercise.

Why Arabs Hate And Kill Palestinians
More than 800 Palestinians have been killed and hundreds others injured since the beginning of the crisis in Syria nearly two years ago.
In the past two weeks, thousands of Palestinians were forced to flee the Yarmouk refugee camp near Damascus after Syrian jets bombed their homes, killing dozens of people.
More than 3000 refugees have fled to neighboring Lebanon, where some politicians and cabinet ministers are already calling for closing the border to stop the influx of Palestinians into their country.
The Arab world, meanwhile, has done nothing to help the Palestinians in Syria.
The Arab League did not hold an emergency meeting to discuss what Palestinians described as "massacres" against the refugees in Yarmouk, home to some 50,000 people.
This is not the first time that Palestinians living in Arab countries find themselves caught in conflicts between rival parties. Those who meddle in the internal affairs of Arab countries should not be surprised when bombs start falling on their homes.
The Palestinians have a long history of involving themselves in the internal affairs of Arab countries and later complaining when they fall victim to violence. They complain they are being killed but not saying why they keep getting into trouble.
Palestinians are not always innocent victims. They bring tragedy on themselves and then want to blame everyone else but themselves.
In Syria, a Palestinian terrorist group called Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command, which is headed by Ahmed Jibril, had been helping the Syrian regime in its attempts to suppress the opposition. Jibril's terrorists are reported to have kidnapped, tortured and murdered hundreds of anti-regime Syrians over the past two years.
The last time an Arab army bombed a Palestinian refugee camp was in Lebanon. In 2007, the Lebanese army destroyed most of the Nahr al-Bared camp after another terrorist group, Fatah al-Islam set up bases there and attacked army checkpoints, killing several soldiers.
In the 70s and 80s, Palestinians played a major role in the Lebanon civil war, which claimed the lives of more than 150,000 people.
The Palestinians also payed a price for meddling in the internal affairs of Iraq. After the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime, thousands of Palestinians were forced out of Iraq for helping the dictator oppress his people for many years.
After the liberation of Kuwait more than 20 years ago, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were expelled from the tiny emirate and other Gulf countries. Their crime was that they had supported Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait -- a country that for many years had provided the PLO with billions of dollars in aid.
Jordan was the first Arab country to punish the Palestinians for meddling in its internal affairs. In 1970, the late King Hussein ordered his army to crush armed Palestinian organizations that had severely undermined his monarchy. The violence resulted in the deaths of thousands of Palestinians and ended with the expulsion of the PLO to Lebanon.
What happened in the Yarmouk refugee camp in the past few days shows that the Palestinians have not learned from their previous mistakes and are continuing to meddle in the internal affairs of Arab countries. That is perhaps why the Arabs are reluctant to help the Palestinians overcome their financial hardships.
Arab League foreign ministers recently promised to provide the Palestinian Authority with $100m. per month to solve its financial crisis. But the Palestinians have not yet seen one dollar from the promised aid. And if they continue to meddle in the internal affairs of their Arab brothers, the only thing they will see is more bombs falling on their homes and thousands of people forced out of their refugee camps.

Help make it easier for other Avvo users to choose the right lawyer by sharing your experience with this attorney. It's fast, simple, and safe.
Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Meyers, Esq. for any Employment / Labor legalities your business might require. He knows his field inside and out. He is diligent, resourceful and will FIGHT for your best interests when necessary! He will look at the merits of the case and give you the best legal advise he can, even if it is counter intuitive to what you would like to happen because it is the best LEGAL course of action to take.
As a young family, we found Jonathan Meyers to be extremely responsive, confident, and trustworthy helping to guide us through our decision making. He made himself readily available to us and has made sure we know he is only a phone call away, should we ever need or have any other questions or issues for him. Most importantly, he is a down to earth, real person who will deal with you and your concerns directly. Would highly recommend.
Lawyer assisted with several actions including termination of employee, an appeal, severance package etc. Cases required knowledge of background of employees and diversified business in mutiple states, involvement in appeals, and required knowledge of in state and out of state laws. Jonathan was efficient and thorough in all recommendations and found resources to help if for some reason something was out of his scope of expertise. Highly recommend his services.
Jonathon represented us in a lawsuit with a former land lord. In addition to being intelligent I found him be a man of integrity with an excellent work ethic and would not hesitate to hire him again.
I have worked with Jonathan for the past several years. He is one of best employement law attorneys I have worked with. Very knowledgeable most importantly to me he took the time to really understand our business and provide the best solutuions. Not smiply finding solutions that would mean higher billable hours for him.
Jeffrey -CEO
When in need of an attorney, one looks for a person with integrity who is professional, knowledgeable and responsive… as has been my experience with Mr. Meyers. I highly recommend him.
I have used Mr. Meyers for several matters. One was of a very sensitive nature and he was extremely discreet. In another, he effectively used the media to obtain an immediate positive result for me. He provided personal attention to my cases and excellent follow-up.Very professional.

City Council OKs traffic light at location of planned Menards store

Of course you do. Because while even a normal ticket to this Saturday's huge party being thrown by the Brauhaus crew is awesome, a VIP ticket is truly something special. And since they've been sold out since mid-August, there's no way to get your hands on a pair except to play our little game.
Why is it worth it, you ask? Because here's what a VIP ticket gets you:
· Exclusive Access- VIP Pass in and Out of the VIP Brauer Bund with Special VIP Draft List
· Full wait staff and bar staff, with 5 PRIVATE bathrooms (no waiting in line for porta-potties)
· Complimentary Bavarian Buffet Courtesy of Chef Jeremy Nolen (Served 1-6PM)
· 6 Tickets Good for Beer from the VIP list or outside stands
· Official Brauhaus Schmitz Oktoberfest T-shirt
· 1 Liter Glass Beer Stein filled with Oktoberfest survival supplies
So yes. VIP tickets? A very cool thing to have. And as we did last year, we're deciding on who gets this last remaining pair by way of a poetry contest. Or, more accurately, a sonnet contest. And only the very best one will win.
Of course, there are a few rules…

I.F. Rotary Club Fighting Spread of Polio
(IDAHO FALLS, ID) – The Idaho Falls Rotary Club is working to eliminate polio worldwide. Thanks to the club's PolioPlus program and others like it, more than 2 billion children have been immunized in 122 countries. Still, organizers say there's much more to do before the disease is eradicated. The club is focusing its efforts on three remaining countries where polio outbreaks are still common.

Many hire virtual assistants (VA) thinking that they are just internet-based secretaries. And that is totally NOT the case at all. I don't think I've ever had a VA answering phone calls for me (well not quite yet) This is a common misconception and while they can perform most secretarial tasks, they can do so MUCH more than that!
Nowadays, limiting your virtual assistant (VA) to traditional admin jobs like playing answering phones, setting appointments, booking cars and travel, and transcribing verbal directions or emails, you are losing out on a huge opportunity for yourself, your business, and most likely boring your VA as well
To start using your VA to their full potential, here are 4 other tasks they will likely know how to do and will be able to help with. If your VA is not trained in the below tasks, then you need to create processes and systems around each task you want them to take over and make it easy for them to know how YOU like it done. If you leave it up to them, you both might not be on the same page, so make sure to make your instructions clear for what you want.
Content Writing
Content marketing is king, as they say in social media marketing. Content marketing is a powerful tool that will show you and your business are thought leaders in your niche, and never before have there been more places and ways to publish your content. The downside to content marketing is a VERY time consuming process. It takes talent and keeping up with the current trends in your space to write riveting blog posts that others will want to read and be willing to share.
Content can be the perfect job to give to a virtual assistant with a writing background. Professional blog writing or writing with your voice may need training, but within a couple of weeks, you will never have to think about content writing again because your VA will now have it as their task however often you decide to have them write.
They can help you create an editorial calendar and social media posts. Something that I like to do is create posts & content and then let them use it and break it down into smaller pieces or you could even have your virtual assistant create more content from what you created it.
Proofreading & Editing
If your VA is already trained in writing and/or has a skilled eye, then they'd likely rock at this! Instead of hiring others for editing and proofreading work, have your VA look over your writing before it goes public. Whether you are writing a sales letter, a book, or just an email to clients, having an extra set of eyes to look over your writing just one more time can catch mistakes or grammatical errors that you may have missed. They may help you avoid an important and embarrassing error in your writing.
Maintaining Social Media Sites
Keeping a social media presence on a daily basis is pretty important nowadays. This increases exposure to new potential business clients and maintains relationships with your existing social media followers. While this may be of vital importance, finding the time and motivation to do it can be difficult since social media is on 24/7. And if you're like me, you like your sleep.
If you give your virtual assistant guidelines on content curation, how often to post/tweet/retweet, and and how to respond to questions, then they should be able to effectively take over for a majority of the social media marketing you have for your company or personal brand.
Eventually, you'll be able to have an editorial content calendar setup so that you can take yourself out of the social side of your organization with only a check in every few days.
Now some people can't just give up ALL their social media stuff (me being one of those people). So I monitor and I write some content for it and let my VA use it/expand on it.
Entrepreneurs and coaches are always thinking of new ideas, but never have the time to fully research these ideas. Assigning this task to your VA to do the digging for info for you can save you hours of time. Whether it be tax questions or whether a product already exists in the market, your virtual assistant can type away on Google to find the information needed, create a doc with what she/he finds and give it to you for you to utilize.
What kind of work does your virtual assistant help your brand or company with that I didn't mention in this post? Please share your experiences in the comments below!

The General Course
The General Course at LSE (the London School of Economics and Political Science) has been in operation since 1910 and is a full 'Study Year Abroad'.[1] Today, the General Course offers a fully integrated year of undergraduate study to around 300 students of more than 40 nationalities drawn from over 130 universities. It is considered one of the most prestigious and competitive study abroad programs in the world. Since there are no exchange agreements with any institution, each applicant is judged solely on their own merits. Successful applicants are usually within the top 10% of the class at their home institution.[2] Notable alumni of the General Course include David Rockefeller and U.S. President John F. Kennedy.
Students must have completed at least two years of university level study prior to joining LSE, and enroll in mid to upper level courses alongside 2nd and 3rd year undergraduates and some graduate students. LSE Undergraduate programs are normally 3 years in duration, as full time students must declare a course of study upon entry from secondary school. While most General Course students attend during their second to last year of undergraduate study, some choose to attend in their final year of undergraduate study. Applications are considered from January each year and will continue to be looked at until places have been filled. Three LSE General Course Scholarships, worth £7,000 each, are available to all accepted students. All students on the General Course are guaranteed a place in university accommodation.

"I love this book - one of the best of all time"
Les Miserables is my favorite novel of all time. It is a big, long, involved book. You may want to read an abridged version, although I would not.
Some people have compared Jean Valjean to a Christ-type figure, but I strongly disagree with the analogy. Rather, the Bishop of Digne is most definitely the Christ figure. Valjean becomes, by virtue of the Good Man buying his soul, a counter part of Everyman. As he tries to make himself an honest man, he goes through struggle after struggle, but with the determination to live up to the vision the Bishop had of him when he gave Valjean the silver. The Bishop seems to already have transcended the bigger part of his humanness, and in fact, as he pays for the sins of Valjean, seems to have completed his work of becoming perfect. The silver was his last holdout, his last symbol of desiring the things of the earth, and he gave them away without a second thought when he realized that another of God's sons needed it worse. As I watch Valjean's transformation, it is impossible not to see myself in him.
Now, about the narrator. I have read reviews on Frederick Davidson that consider him everywhere from the absolute worst to someone you have to acquire a taste for. I am in the latter category. When I first started listening, I really wondered if I could listen to him read my golden book for 60 hours. Eventually, however, I came to love the man as a narrator, and forgave without a thought his little idiosyncrasies. His characterizations are without equal, and I have heard some pretty astounding narrators. As I listened to the last three hours of Les Miserables, I was putty in Davidson's hands. I cannot even express in words what it was like to listen to him read this most tender and spiritual part. By the end, I was a slobbering mess, but thanking my God for this book, this author and this reader, and the lessons I had learned once again.
"Compelling Story"
I loved the perspective of this book being from four different people with four different and fabulous narrators. I thought the subject matter was fascinating and I totally loved LOVED that it was from a woman's perspective. That it is based on a true story makes it all the better. I tried to put myself in the place of each of these strong women, and decided I might act in a similar way in their places. I hope I would have been strong. I am so excited to see the mini series now.
"Fly, Sisters, Fly!"
I was hesitant to read this book because I did not want to be let down if it did not compare favorably to The Secret Life of Bees. I was only slightly disappointed. I loved the book and of course, Kidd is such a fabulous writer that it is hard to put down any book of hers. However, the story line was not quite as good as some of her other books. It got to be a little repetitious, and I grew tired of disappointment after disappointment that all of the main characters experienced. When I came to find out it is based on a true story, I liked it better. I began to see the juxtaposition of the two sisters of wealth and class from the south with the two sisters born into slavery and wondered which set of sisters had more freedom. Both were severely oppressed and prevented from reaching their full potential, but as Handful, speaking to Miss Sarah, put it (I paraphrase), 'mine is bondage of the body, but yours is bondage of the mind. I won't ever let them take my mind.' We don't choose the circumstances of our births, and I found myself grateful that I was born into a less oppressive time for women! Heaven knows I have had my own struggles with that. I was amazed at the pluck and stamina of the Grimky sisters to stand their ground and work for the emancipation of their black sisters. even though they paid a dear price. Could I have done that? Would I have been willing to give up all that they gave up to help those less fortunate? I hope I would have. But in the process, they were helped just as much as the black women and men they served. They found their true calling in life and put their all into it. Or, as Another very wise Man put it, "...whosoever shall lose his life for my sake . . . the same shall save it." (Mark 8:35)
All in all, this was a great read with a great story behind it. I really came to love and admire these characters.
The narrators were absolutely top notch. A good narrator is half the reason I choose to listen to many of my books. These two are just great.
"I Got So Lost"
I learned a lot from this book, but I really think this would be a book better read, or at least read while listening. I can tell you what it talked about, but I could not tell you what the seven events are. I would be really happy to get a copy of it and try reading it. There was a time or two I got completely lost in the details of eating meat or something like that. Apparently there is no harm in eating a really poor diet with little nutritional value. At least that seems to me to be what it was saying. It made no sense to me! Still I think there is much to be learned from the book.
"He made us ROFL"
Very entertaining. As someone who grew up watching the antics of this amazing comedian, I loved reading about his life. He truly created some of the funniest skits ever seen. Brilliant!
"Never put someone's life at stake on an assumption"
A great study on assumtions. As one writer put it, when you assume something you make an "ass" of "u" and "me." That is what this book is all about, assuming something to be true because you want it to be true. Thank goodness there are those who are willing to put forth the effort to look deeper into things to find the real truth. Sadly, it doesn't work that way for everyone who is falsely accused, but when it does, it has to be deeply rewarding for the innocent.
Presented in a dramatized fashion, this is a great listen.
"Please Listen to This Book!"
Once I started this book I could not stop. It is both frightening and hopeful; frightening because of how fragile and gullible we human beings are, and how easily we can lose our sense of right and wrong so that swallowing lock, stock and barrel some infinitely insane philosophy seems like the right thing to do. Hopeful because basically I believe human beings are good and smart and really do know right from wrong, even if it takes them a while to figure it all out. I hope we all figure it out before it is too late. Please please please read this book so you know how to recognize what is happening to America even now. I know you are basically good. Don't lose track of that!
"I took it for what it is."
I just took it for what it is. Would I want her life style in exchange for fame and fortune? Absolutely not. I would never trade places with her and I would not hold her up as an example of morality. Hahahaha far from it. Still, it was the life she knew, and she was a talented and funny woman. This was an interesting read and I did enjoy much of it. I enjoyed listening to Marshall's great New York accent and learned a lot from her outlook on life. I don't think she was holding herself up as some role model or saying that someone else should seek her life style. It was an eye opener in a way. Not sure if I can recommend it unless it is to someone who, like me, can take it for what it is.
"Everyone Should Read This Book!"
DSouza has such an interesting outlook on things. He sees them from a different angle and it makes me think. Although not born here, he is a great American. Everyone should listen to this book and then stand up for this country, or what is left of it. We can still save it.
"Another Great Conroy Book"
Great but sad story. It truly made my heart ache. Conroy is such a great writer that I could just listen all day. He makes me believe I am right in the middle of the action.
"More Great Listening!"
After having listened to Dr. Greenberg's course on the Thirty Greatest Orchestra Works, I had to have more, and decided to give this one a try. Although I have always had a great appreciation for the music of Mozart and truly love many of the things he has written, I can't say that he has been one of my all time favorite composers. With the insights I gained from this Great Courses class taught by Dr. Robert Greenberg, I must say the great genius has moved up in my estimation. My understanding of his music is markedly better, and I can now say he truly is one of my favorite composers. The world lost him way too soon at the age of nearly 36, but thank goodness for the things he was able to give us.

This is a Sodbuster thread
I'll start.
The Sodbuster, and its cousin the Sodbuster Jr, are some of the best working knives out there. They aren't too long and aren't too small. You can open them one-handed, by pushing on the blade, if you need or want to, but for the most part they were designed to be opened two handed, with the nail nick.
The model I have is the ubiquitous Case Sodbuster Jr, in CV with yellow handles.
(Pic not mine)
My doesn't have a patina yet, I haven't induced one or gotten one from lots of use yet. It will, soon, and it is already getting some discoloring.
There are other Sodbusters out there, as well. Case makes the Soddie Jr and the full-size Sodbuster in stainless, with black plastic handles.
Case also made the full size Sodbuster in yellow and CV. You can find them used, on auction-site-that-shall-not-be-named, among other places. They are sought after, and with good reason- Case knives in CV are easy to sharpen, and when brand new, come razor-sharp.
Of course, Case isn't the only maker of the Sodbuster pattern. Boker makes both a Sodbuster and a Sodbuster Jr, in perfect combo ( That's yellow and CV/Carbon).
Sodbuster Jr.
I've had good experiences with Boker, so I'd imagine these knives are a good value.
Moore Maker, who I posted a recent thread about, also has large and small Sodbusters avaliable. I'm lazy, so if you want to see them, got to that thread or go to mooremaker.com
There is also a German company, Kissing Crane, that makes a Sodbuster. The Sodbusters, called Brown Mules, are made in Italy. Although they don't quite have PC, they do have carbon steel blades. The handles are hardwood, and they come in 3 sizes. They are avaliable from ragweedforge.com
Then there is Eye Brand. They offer a variety of Sodbuster patterns, including a lockback and a PC. I have no experience with them.
Eye Brand Sodbuster
Finally, there is Rough Rider. Ah, Rough Rider. They are not made in the USA, they do not have carbon steel blades, and they do not have yellow handles. However, I have a Rough Rider congress that is an excellent knife for the price point, and I've heard no complaints about the RR Sodbuster. It has a linerlock, too, if that matters to you.
Rough Rider Sodbuster
Also worthy of mention are Opinel. These French made knives are similar to Sodbusters, only they have round wood handles and ring locks (although I think you can get them with backsprings). The blade shape, and the fact that they only have one blade, is very similar to a Sodbuster. They also share the common low price point, although an Opinel will normally run you a little bit less than a Soddie.
So, here's my consensus on Sodbusters. They are very good, very hardworking, folksy knives that are good for about anything. Maybe not batoning or prying or as a combat knife, but for everything a pocket knife should be used for, these can be used for.
And, my favorite- they are cheap.
So, what do you think of Sodbusters?

I just started collecting Case knives. First one I got was a SodBuster Jr. with the black handle. Just received my Small Stockman with the blue bone handle and red oval emblem.
I'm doomed!!!

Not bad. Good solid knife I would recomend to anyone.
But to be honest it doesn't get much time in my rotation anymore. If Case would make one in CV that wasn't yellow I'd buy one.

I've got the Case Sodbuster Jr. w/black plastic handle, and couldn't be happier with it. It's cut everything I've asked it to, and some I didn't (like my thumb!) Until I got it I was exclusively a Kershaw guy, the Scallion dangling on my keyring. But you can't beat the tried-and-true, old-fashioned work knife. I love the history and simplicity, not to mention the price.
Now I really want a Sodbuster with a brown wood handle! Something that'll change with age, sweat, dirt, and wear.

Thanks for a great thread topic!
The Sodbuster and Sodbuster Jr. are historically proven and will continue to prove.
Case lists the Sodbuster as pattern number 38
-Case uses a Delrin material for handles, which is impervious to many solutions one is apt to expose a knife to.
-Yellow is that proven in assisting folks in not losing a knife.
Many folks over the years have expressed a dislike of yellow handles, be they bone, or delrin, mfg by many knife mfg over the years.
Fact is, after using one, and especially after seeing the yellow, therefore not forgetting a knife left out, or finding one dropped , the appreciation and respect for yellow handles is earned by the knife.
-Handles are smooth, still being users, they do roughen up.
Many will roughen up with emery paper, or file, even fine saw blades to give a bit more purchase, such as the lines on a Old Timer, or Buck with respective brown and black derlrin handles.
These handles are much tougher than SAK standard red (other colors now) handles, in regard to chemicals and such.
You bet!
The fact is, these have stout backsprings, so in essence "resist" closing, much like a Douk-Douk.
Another fact is, folks raised with slipjoints and fixed knifes learned knife safe use and care.
Like keep body parts away from cutting edge.
Some locking knifes require one to have fingers in front of the edge.
-Sodbuster Jr's fit my hands best, and pocket carry so well.
Not just guys, also lots of ladies use this knife.
-Sodbuster is bigger, and I have used this one a lot as well.
Now a little plankowner license if I may...
Re: Army Rangers and other Military folks.
Yep, Sodbuster was in Vietnam.
I know, as I gave one to a Army Ranger buddy went he went back on another tour.
His bunch traveled l-i-g-h-t.
They carried BHPs, and the issued holster was skeltonized to save weight.
Sodbusters and Slimline Trappers were real popular with him and his bunch.
Less weight, and they had both neck sheaths and easy access body sheaths.
Others used these, such as Military Nurses, such as those in field hospitals and the like.
-Missionaries in remote areas of the world, I know have/do use Sodbusters.
The Sodbuster, and Sodbuster Jr, have earned being a "working knife" , a proven traditional pattern that is still proving today.
These are not flash in the pan, movie hyped "gotta have's", or anything else.
Sod's are highly recommended by me, and countless others.

JTW Jr.,
Have I got a project consideration for you. *rut-roh*
Preface- yes, I have seen what I am about to share with you, and it does come in real handy.
I know you are going to make one of your sheaths for a Sodbuster.
Now, if one made a sheath for a Sodbuster, to hold the knife in the open position, so it carried like a fixed blade, that is real handy for some settings and applications.
If...If done right, the closed Sodbuster will ride in this same sheath as well- as the handles, will not let the knife close go into the sheath were a blade goes.
Now...one old boy had some metal belt clips like Bianchi used on their holsters, that were reversible.
He worked tack, horses, and property stuff. He kept open Sods on his work area, and sometimes just sheathed one, and could clip this on.
Other sheaths had "paddle", so inside the waist to hold secure.
Oh he had sheaths for closed Sods, still sheaths for opened ones, were real handy, and popular with folks.
All sorts of folks, from drywall, to other construction folks, to farmers, ranchers, hunters...
Have fun.

Would carrying a sheathed open Sodbuster qualify as carrying a fixed blade in NC?

And come to think of it, that link I posted to Ragweed forge also has Okapis .Also very hardworking knives, and very cool looking!
And, of course, the famous Douk Douk reference by SM
And to those who don't know what one looks like, here is an Opinel
I'd say all fairly cheap, working knives look pretty much the same.

Re: knife laws.
I do not know. These laws , no matter where one lives, need to be investigated.
Some interpretations are just really odd.
Re: Okapi
Folks, do not remove the key ring, as it is part of how one uses this knife design.
For Safety Reasons, someone needs to post how to use that knife correctly.
Better yet, would be a new thread, and have the history and correct use shared.
JTW Jr.,
Most were right handed, as one can use a sheath knife cross draw, or with left hand, using the "wrong sheath" ( a right hand one).
Serious, this idea is not a new one, and goes back with other pocket knives.
Folk returned from Wars, and with amputations and injuries, could not open a knife as easily.
One Arm Jacks, and knives similar to Sodbuster, could be opened one handed, as the blade was up above the handles.
Still, some folks did not want to use a sheath knife, even a smaller one.
So a sheath was done to keep pocket knives open and safe.
I mean a fella has a right to use a favorite old bone handled knife, and some had sentimental value.
Add, some needed to feel "whole" or "normal" - whatever, just a positive input in lives.
So folks had sheaths for Sodbusters, and some had a real need after Vietnam, and others ...well...some listened to the old timers, and Vets.
Like I said it might be on a bench with other "sheaths" working leather, where a person just used a tool and put it back open into a sheath.
Wood workers too, and in a truck, or in a back pocket walking the property , or...
Just another tool in the tool box is all.
Sheaths for closed ones, were and still are used, including neck sheaths for folks around water...
Sodbusters are proven in all sorts of settings, by young and old, male and female.

Yeah. And one of these days I'll have to get a Wharncliffe whittler.
Let me see . . . I had some sodbuster pictures . . .
Family photo. . . so, yes, I had some pictures.
Since those were taken, I've also added a couple of large ones in stainless.
BTW, the Böker is carbon steel. Well made. Good edge. Does good work.

Böker Patina
The Case knives (CV) take a "satin grey" patina if you're doing the "patina wash" thing.
I used heated fruit juice.
Doing the same thing to the Bökers resulted in a nearly black patina.
Böker uses a straight carbon steel (uh, 1095, I think), and it colors up a lot darker if you dunk it.
I may get another one and just abuse it for a few months and see what the result is.
Oh, and please be advised, it's Steve's fault.

I have a soddie in stainless with the black plastic handles. I'm not gonna say it doesn't rock.
Personally, I find it's a great companion to a multitool. I have a few multitools also, some of great quality and/or expense, and have not yet found a knife blade on any of 'em that's ergonomic in the least.
The relationship is symbiotic though - because you shouldn't use your soddie as a screwdriver. If you do, steve will find you and that poor mistreated knife will be posthumously removed from your posession.

Much as I like the "traditional" knives like the Sodbuster, Canoe, or Scout Knife, they really need to produce up-dated versions that lock, and have thumb studs and clips. Not so they'll be tacticool, but for practical reasons.
I often carry a Case Scout Knife, but only as secondary to the fixed-blade knife I keep in my front pocket.

Eleven Mike,
I hear what you are saying, I respectfully disagree about the locks.
I am not addressing you in particular, I respect your take on many matters and pay attention to your posts.
Allow me to address locks to folks in general my
If someone wants a locking knife, traditional or modern, there are already too many models on the market.
Put a lock on my Sodbuster and I'll take a torch to it and beat it to death with a hammer.
The whole concept of a useful tool for me, and countless others is negated by adding a lock to a Sodbuster.
Many of the reasons mirror the same as the Douk-Douk.
-Sodbuster is a safer knife than many knives with a lock.
It has a stout back spring, which "resists" being closed.
When in closing, one can do so more safely, and do so one-handed , whereas many locking knives require one to have fingers in front of the edge.
I was taught correct basic fundamentals in regard to life skills and one was not putting anything in front of a knife edge I did want to cut.
Much like never pointing a firearm muzzle at something I don't want to destroy.
Moderation in everything, and there is a give and take in everything too.
Sodbusters allow safer control in both opening and closing.
How many times has a person with a Speed Holster had a race gun fall out walking around?
Oh the gun comes out fast!
Just the gun does not re-holster very fast, or very secure.
One handed opening knives that designed for speed, often times do not close fast very well , or safe.
Sodbuster, like a Douk-Douk, or Shing, or Ken Erickson or other quality pocket knives / slip joints allow safe control in opening and closing due to that back spring.
Many settings do not allow locking knives, and more such restrictions are in works.
The wording of legislation is "open" to all sorts of interpretations, not only in the UK, New Zealand, Australia, even right here in the good old USA.
How a knife opens, stays open, and how it closes has been the subject of legislations all over the world, for a long time, and still is.
Douk-Douk, is a proven knife and was/is legal in regard to not being a locking knife, in many settings around the world.
Yes, it was banned in some areas, not because of the knife itself, instead "the intent of the user" as some evil folks used that knife.
Sodbuster is akin the Douk-Douk.
It is legal in many jurisdictions, and is politically correct being a "dumb old traditional knife like used down on the farm...grandpa still uses one...".
Now I and mine, tested some new offerings down in the areas where Sodbusters, Slimline Trappers, Stockmans , Mini Trappers, Full size Trappers have a long history of being used.
Not picking on mfgs, still I ad mine busted 5 Kershaw Leeks, doing farm/ranch work.
Damn stainless they use, would not keep a working edge for spit!
Locks busted, and if it had not been for having "correct basic fundamentals" of knife use instilled in me, I could have been cut bad!
Closing that damn thing...heck I cheated and used gloves.
What is it with all these damn proprietary screws !
Down on the back Forty, a Sodbuster does not need spare parts and stupid tools to keep it together!
[Are folks buying knives to use or play with?]
Now some other "known" knives costing more money failed too!
John Shirley I respect, and he and I can agree to disagree, still he said the Spyderco he feels is a good one, and was carrying on in Afghanistan.
So we tested these.
Sodbuster's blade sticks up above the handle allowing one purchase to open.
One can open this knife numerous ways, including one handed, numerous ways.
This same design allow one safe closing too, with that back spring.
John said "Delica", so we did Delica with plain edge.
"Damn thing got a hole in that funky blade don't it? You sure your buddy is okay and not nuts?" - friends asked.
I assured them John was good folks, then again like me, the jury is still out on how sane we are.
Delica did pretty good.
Truth is, 'we' like carbon steel or chrome vanadium, stubborn and hard headed we are.
These steels are proven, and easy to touch up in the field with a stone.
Delica does allow one handed opening and one can close safe, with some re-education on how to do so.
Understand, some of these folks have been doing hard use work with Sods and the like for decades!
So muscle memory is instilled in safe use.
Spyderco worked - pretty good, for these folks.
The blade shape took some getting used to, and most had the clips removed because the knife is more comfy to use, and that knife being down in pocket means, it cannot hang up on something, or scratch a car, or hurt a animal.
Clear nail polish (poor man's Loctite) kept screws secure.
Sods are like this, in the pocket they are "there" in pocket, cannot hang up, or scratch vehicles, or critters.
Sheath, is proven too.
This is not marketing, this is real folks that work for a living sharing about tools.
Now one person almost messed up, going "into town" and that setting say's no assist opening, or locking knives.
They went back to vehicle and left the knife.
Sodbusters never gave them this concern...the tactical knives do attract attention.
Poor Man's Sodbuster : SAK Sentry
Pocket Pal adds a pen blade.
Boker, Case, Kissing Crane and others need to do a smaller Sodbuster than the Sodbuster Jr.
About the size of the SAK Sentry, because of closed length, and blade length restrictions.
No locks , no assist opening.
There is only so much pie, and instead of everyone wanting a slice of everyone else's pie, mfg should instead focus on their slice of the pie being the best.
Line Extension kills companies [Trout & Reys].
Case I grew up with, and I understand staying in business, in today's market, and I don't want to see them go the way of Shrade or Camillus, or Buck.
Still that damn collecting bit, tee-totally ticks me off at times.
I know it makes them money...
Sodbusters are wanted in CV, with other handle options too.
Yellow is proven is keeping up with a knife.
White is wanted, so is Orange, and Safety Green.
Nice options such as wood and bone are wanted.
Sodbusters and some other traditional knives are proven users.
WE have enough dumbing down of society and eroding of rights without ruining this knife by sticking a lock on it.

I've had a love affair w/ sodbusters for many years. My first was a Case carbon steel model given to me by my grandfather, since then I've owned (and lost) several and I still consider it to be a great working man's knife much like the older Camilus, Remington and Winchester(bullet) full-size 2- blade trapper..just a real American classic..! Being "old school" I much prefer CV and/or carbon steel to stainless offerings though I own several of each both. I recently bought a Carl Schlieper Eye Brand EB99DSL locking stag Sodbuster (carbon steel). At 4 11/16" its large for a EDC but Eye Brand uses a very high-grade CS in their blades that take and hold an incredible edge that is easily maintained. After using both Case and Eye brand thru the years I feel that you can't go wrong with either yet my preference leans toward the German offering.

Thanks for the kind words. I wasn't saying that knife companies should stop making the original-recipe pocket knives. I just think the old-timey knife makers would reach a lot more market, if they incorporated some of the very practical features of the "tactical folder."
I'm actually with you on the clips, I keep my folding knives in my pocket. But to me, the lock is a significant safety feature. And using two hands to open the knife is just not practical in a lot of cases. Crazy me, I also like most of my folders to have 4-4.5 inch blades, just like my fixed blades.

Eleven Mike,
Buck makes a "sodbuster" with a lock if you will in their 500 series, and in more than one size, with nickel bolsters and wood handles. *smile*
My serious concerns are:
-Knife companies going out of business.
-Line extension causing them to die off
-Manufacturers losing the market share they do have.
-Patterns becoming lost, or extinct.
In my opinion, the Sodbuster should remain as is.
Other knife patterns, with locks can fill the role of the Sodbuster ; i.e. 500 series Buck offerings.
Follow me here, as I know I am not doing a very good job of trying to express my position.
Buck is having some difficulties in this knife market these days.
They have laid off some employees, and some have been there a really long time.
Folks became upset, and still are, as some of the Buck line is made in China.
Some of the patterns are the same, such as the USA made Lancer, and the China made Deuce.
Buck, is Buck, and they got where they are by the knives they did for years.
Some now suggest Buck is hurting as they fell for the Line Extension Trap as it is referred to by Trout & Reyes.
Buck was built on 110s, 300 , 500 series , etc., knives.
They owned their slice of the pie against / along with Case, Shrade and others,... healthy competition if you will.
Buck started doing tactical, swiss army, and for lack of a better word "modern" such as the Metro.
Why? My guess is marketing got them into the Line Extension Trap, and I will go so far to say new folks with MBAs did this.
Folks that were not raised "old school" nor were educated in college in "old school" marketing.
Greed is taught a lot.
Buck does not need tactical knives, let the other companies that are into that do those patterns.
Let the tack-tickle fight for a slice of the tack-tickle pie.
Those companies cannot do a 110, or a 300, 500 series either.
My take is, healthy competition is good for all parties.
Sodbuster is a Sodbuster!
Case, Boker, Eye Brand, Kissing Crane...and others can offer the Sodbuster buyer varies options.
Let these folks have healthy competition in the "slice of the pie" for Sodbusters.
You want a wood handled one?
Case or Boker does not have one, Kissing Crane does.
You want a Carbon blade/ CV blade, Case is just one offering, but the handle is yellow.
Another company can do a different handle with a Carbon blade.
And if you want a locking one...Buck 500 series is real darn close!
By not getting greedy and falling into the Line Extension Trap, perhaps some of my concerns, and concerns we all have about knife companies, can be remedied, and the important contributions made by various companies will be preserved.

Ejaz Naqvi, defence counsel of 26/11 co-accused Sabauddin Ahmed presented his argument in the Bombay High Court on Thursday. The final hearing on the case will take place on Monday.
Mr Naqvi asked why the prosecution had not done anything to nab Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative Abu Kafa, who is accused of being one of the Pakistani handlers of the terrorists. "The prosecution has never been able to do anything to nab him. He is freely available even on Facebook," Mr Naqvi said.
He refuted the prosecution's claim that Sabauddin was a co-conspirator in the 26/11 terror attack.
The prosecution had accused Sabauddin of drawing maps of the targets in Mumbai and handing them over to the LeT, which in turn provided the maps to the terrorists.
Mr Naqvi argued that at a time when the 'Google Earth' was so clear and up-to-date, there was no need of maps to carry out the terror attack. He also said that Kasab's confession statement did not mention the existence of maps anywhere.
"What was the need of maps for their attack? Their dinghy was right in front of them. Even if they would have wanted to run away, they could have easily done so," he said.
"Very minute instructions were given [by the Pakistan handlers to the terrorists during the attack]. Then why were instructions to tear off the maps not given?" he asked.
He refuted that Sabauddin had ever visited Nepal to meet other LeT members. "How can I visit Nepal? I don't have [a] passport, I have never gone out of Bihar except [to] Delhi and Bangalore," he said.
When the judge brought to his notice that a passport was not required to visit Nepal, he said that at least an identity card was required.
The final hearing will take place on Monday. The division bench of Justices Ranjana Desai and R V More said, "On Monday, we want to close this judgment."

Transmeta couldn't build anything that competed with Intel's offerings. The power consumption was lower, but the performance sucked. They were about a generation ahead on power consumption but about 2-3 generations behind on performance.
Code morphing has an inherent penalty---negligible for some instructions, severe for others. Same for emulation. Now that Intel is focusing on performance per watt, these "efficient" architectures are going to get buried by a truly efficient native x86 implementation.
Transmeta existed in an environment where Intel was focused on improving performance almost exclusively. They had a little niche of the market all to themselves, and they couldn't even survive then. Now that Intel cares about power consumption, I wouldn't bet on anyone else gaining a foothold.

If you have a decent camera and actually know what you're doing with it you can print some outstanding photos to hang on your walls or stand on shelves and such. It makes the house a whole lot warmer and more personal than buying those generic shit pictures at Hobby Lobby and hanging them all around your house.
Helpful hint: I don't think the items you've been buying are for what you think they're for. Those generic shit pictures are just placeholders. To hang up your own warm and personal pictures, you're supposed to take the generic pictures out and use the frames.
It is a lot of effort.
It should be ZERO additional effort. If you even have to think about it, then you are doing it wrong. I just copy the photos from my camera to my laptop, and then do nothing else. Within an hour they are automatically copied to a backup server in my closet. Within 24 hours, they are automatically copied to a git repository on a raid-based cloud server located a thousand miles away. None of this requires any additional effort because it is using mechanisms that are already in place to back up all my email, source code, business documents, etc. When I buy a new computer, I just copy all my data, and the photos are just copied along with everything else. No additional effort is required.
Never worry about theory as long as the machinery does what it's supposed to do. -- R. A. Heinlein
