The Journey
Several of these recent discussions pertaining to training have been both informative and fatiguing depending on your perspective. So to has the thread in the support and suggestions forum requesting the creation of a training forum.
What Id like to address in this thread are some peripheral issues from several recent threads, including whether or not a training forum is indicated, but primarily training in general as it relates to a journey.
For example, forum member dgg9 raised a good point in Post #176 in response to a criticism of the round chambering technique thread when another member mentioned 18 pages of bickering. He replied with BTW, there's a lot of interesting stuff on this thread, and it's NOT about what specifically to do. It's about how to decide what to train to do. That's really the high level debate happening here, and is IMO very worthwhile to air out. That is an outstanding point to consider in ANY thread dealing with ANY technique or TTP.
Another back-and-forth / tit-for-tat issue centered around Tactical Response and James Yeager in particular. The events surrounding Operation Apollo made their way around the internet several years ago and the basic facts are well known. I have never trained with TR and I have never met James so I have no personal or commercial interest linking myself to them with what I am about to convey.
Can one question whether he is qualified to teach a HRCC course? Probably but debatable. Having had the opportunity to talk to a few of his students about his course content, I have a few issues with his philosophy. However, James and crew have been teaching general firearms training for 10+ years and I have no doubt that they are probably quite adept at teaching the fundamental skill sets of basic marksmanship and gun handling. Of late they seem to have been pushing the margins of what are widely accepted safety protocols but all I know is what Ive read on various forums. Im still not quite sure of the context.
When starting on the path to formal training, one does need to be careful where (which schools) and on whom (which trainers) they spend their training dollars because frankly, training isnt cheap. But at the beginning of the journey, we are learning the basic skill sets of marksmanship, gun handling, safety protocol and more often than not, perhaps a sprinkling of mindset and possibly a simulator exercise.
What Im getting at is that initially it doesnt really matter who you go to for the basic skill sets so long as they have a bit of history (how long they have been instructing) and can at least provide you with their pedigree (from whom did they learn) so you can get a rough idea of what to expect in terms of content.
But specifically, Weaver vs Iso, SS vs HOT, diagnostic vs non-diagnostic, or bladed stance vs squared off, etc. doesnt really matter at this early stage because you have just begun the transition from unconscious incompetent to conscious incompetent and then hopefully to some degree of conscious competent by the end of your first two day or three day course. At this point you are still struggling somewhat with the basics but have no database (so to speak) with which to compare trainers or specific techniques. Eventually there will come a time when you can begin to decide for yourself what works and what doesnt work FOR YOU.
On a more personal issue, I vehemently curse the GWOT for the impact it has had on the private sector training industry. I may ruffle a few feathers with what I am about to state but I think it needs to be stated. For one thing, the sheer volume of nylon accoutrements (MOLLE gear) and hard armor being purchased by so many in the civilian sector alarms me. Not because I dont think civilians should be able to purchase all that stuff but because it is skewing the students reality. I fully acknowledge that there are professional door-kickers who should wear their combat gear in training and that in some high round count classes, some form of carriage system could be justified.
And long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, we always encouraged police and .mil types to wear their gear in training PRECISELY BECAUSE that was most likely what theyd be wearing if they ever found themselves in a lethal threat encounter. However, we now have scores of civilians wearing combat gear that they will not even have time to don let alone take advantage of if they ever hear a bump in the night. And whether or not there IS an advantage to any of that stuff is debatable. My impression is that it is driven mostly by what they want, based on some unfounded perception, rather than what they need. That I find disturbing because it is not rational.
I also believe the GWOT is the reason many are seeking training from the HSLD .mil rock stars who have recently begun to offer classes to the private sector. Im certainly not suggesting that you wont come away with a solid grounding in the basics from those guys because you certainly will. But I find the cult like following that flourishes around some of them disconcerting because it can become a source of closed-mindedness.
If I told you the reason the Weaver Stance utilizes such a deep bend at the support arm elbow you laugh yourself to tears. If I told you the genesis of the VFG as used on the AR15 platform youd piss yourself laughing. Many have heard Pat Rogers say dont get married to your magazines. I say dont get married to your instructors TTPs.
And just what is HSLD? Louis Awerbuck once wrote there is no such thing as an advanced gunfight. The context IIRC, is that everyone wants to attend advanced classes when in reality it is simply application of the basics under stress.
This is where there needs to be careful consideration as to whether or not a training forum is indicated on this board. The issues can become quite contentious but as lycan mentioned, we did a fair job at policing ourselves in synergys round chambering technique thread. Im just not sure there is enough interest here because of the 20,000+ members, training issues dont seem to be a popular topic.
Finally, embarking on the path to formal training is a journey. Your first class is like trying to take a drink from a fire hose. The strange thing is I dont care who you are, youll never stop learning.
Col. Cooper said "Having a gun and thinking you are armed is like having a piano and thinking you are a musician". And on our website home page we unabashedly state "Most people would rather pretend".
Harsh words indeed . but not nearly as harsh as being unprepared for trouble.

Re: The Journey
good post Tony.
Re: The Journey
Do you think we would see quick adjust 2 point slings, Redi-mags, micro Aimpoints, and stuff like that without the infusion of money and interest into the industry?
Do you think we'd see what has always been viewed as 3-gun type shooting stances in the combat arena? Red dot sights becomes the norm instead of irons?
Re: The Journey
I'm as much a gadget freak as the next guy but the relentless pursuit of technology for an advantage that is almost immeasurable in the civilian context is oftentimes misguided.
I even recall a thread at Glock Talk many years ago where during a discussion about Weaver vs. Iso, a well known Instructor who teaches Iso stated that "Weaver works".
It just seems to me that too many people get hung up on tech. And nobody likes having their ox gored.
Insofar as "who" to train with, so long as you're trained, your chances of survival increase markedly. And it doesn't really matter if you trained with old guard instructors like Clint Smith, Awerbuck, Giles Stock and Larry Mudgett or rock stars like Costa, Lamb, Searcy and Howe.
It's all good. But I do think it's important to know something about an instructor's pedigree.
"... there's trained and untrained" (Denzel Washington -- Man on Fire)
Re: The Journey
When that happens, when training/practice becomes an activity on it's own, you see people preparing for the training, not what the training is supposed to represent.
Look at trap shooting. It was originally a way to practice hunting. Now many of the people who participate use equipment wholly unsuitable for hunting, and most have never and will never hunt a day in their lives. Do they worry that the skills their using aren't suited well for the activity they're practicing (hunting)? No, because they've decided that the practice is good enough on it's own.
Fencing is similar. It began as a way to practice swordplay without the inconvenience of getting holes poked in you. Now it's become a sport in it's own right, with practices and equipment that bear only a passing resemblance to swordfighting, and that would probably get you killed if you tried to translate them to swordfighting.
I see the same thing happening with me. When I look at a training class, I mentally put it into either the "fun" or the "useful" category. I want to take a HRCC class somewhere, not because I think that will be a useful skillset to develop, but because it will be fun! I want the tac vest, with molle gear, and a dozen mags on my chest. I'll never be in a position to use them (unless the zombies come), but what the hell... It's cheaper than a boat, sports car, or mistress.
Re: The Journey
Great post Tony. I think that there is a lot of truth in your post.
I agree there aren't a lot of members who would actively discuss tactics and what not. Why? The majority of the members don't have any experience, so they really can't contribute to the discussion. I'm sure some would love to actively engage in the discussion, then see a bunch of abbreviations like SS, HOT, F2F, etc and probably get a little intimidated.
There are a few members that have a lot of good knowledge here and will generate most of the discussion; however, that's not necessarily a bad thing. People can slowly get involved as they learn from here and decided to seek out training.
I can really only speak for myself here but. I don't have a lot of training (bare min.) but I plan on changing that next year. I thoroughly enjoy the discussions that happen in this semi-training section. Although I don't post, I try to follow it as best as I can but I want to learn. I think as more discussion around this topic happens, the community will grow.
Now, whether there is a true "training" sub forum or this sub forum gets used ... I don't care. All I care is that the discussion continue. I value all the great knowledge that gets posted here.

Re: The Journey
To draw an analogy to climbing....which I used to be way into, when I was up at school....Hillary climbed Everest in gear most folks wouldn't go car camping, today. El Capitan, and Half Dome were climbed using hemp rope, "body/hip belays", iron pitons, and machine nuts tied off with cord to place as "chocks" in cracks in the rock.
As the technology evolved, the gear became lighter, stronger, safer, and more flexible. In the 70's, the spring loaded camming device was invented by Jardine. It allowed the climber to protect himself in cracks that couldn't previously be protected (flaring and parallel cracks) because the harder you pulled on it, the more it tried to expand. It would securely fit into a crack which a chock wouldn't.
Then it was realized that the rigid stem would break if you loaded it over a horizontal edge...so they figured out ways around that.
through the use of "tie offs"...
And flexible stems.
Then another company made the flexible stem cam with two axis, making each piece fit a wider range of cracks, and preventing them from being able to turn inside out, (like an umbrella that catches a large gust of wind) they call these "cam stops".
With 1 of these cams, you could cover the range of crack sizes that you would need 6 or 7 different chocks for. They were also easier to place, and easier to remove....this meant you could move faster and carry less weight...in turn cutting down the amount of support gear you brought, because you were now on the face for a day or two less.
In ice climbing, the straight shaft piolet was how you climbed ice in the 60's and 70's.
Here's the axe Hillary used to climb Everest.
And routes like "The Black Dike" and "Cilley Barber" -->
were at the upper limits of what you could safely climb.
Now guys are using radically bent, composite "leashless" ice climbing tools,
and climbing stuff like this:
No single piece of gear unlocked a whole new world of techniques and paved the way for novices to climb Everest or The Nose....but as the equipment evolved, so did the practitioners... and as routes became safer, and protectable, the upper limits of what a climber could climb was pushed further than ever before.
The Yosemite decimal system (the way climbs are rated), only went up to 5.9 in the 60's. It now runs to 5.15a, as harder routes get unlocked.
In shooting...lighter weight armor plates, more reliable red dot sights, better performing ammo (such at the BH Mk. 262 mod1), reliable short suppressed full auto carbines (such as the HK416) have opened new doors for the folks who know how to use them.
While a lot of these improvements are minor improvements to existing technology...it has begun to shift how people can engage threats, now. Joe Schmo doesn't need a hk416 and ESAPI plates to check out a bump in the night...but its safe to say that more is being learned about carbine usage in CQB, as more and more data is gathered by the guys who are in the fight.
As you said, we know more today than we did yesterday.
As other have mentioned...there are other benefits to training, aside from a skill at arms to use in the event of a lethal force encounter. It can just be a lot of fun, too. I started to shoot IDPA because I wanted to practice some gunhandling techniques on the clock, and with a little more stress. I found out that I enjoy it now, and partake in it for the enjoyment just as much as the benefit to my defensive skill level.

Re: The Journey
I think with allot of people it's actually an obsessive-compulsive disorder. In worst cases it's quite obvious that many seem to be looking forward to a Katrina event hitting their hometown just so they can jock up.
Apparently for some folks, defending oneself in the context of their current lifestyle is not enough of a challenge. I saw this sponsors ad on a gun forum banner that had the following message:
The Zombies are coming,
The Russians are coming,
The Liberals are coming,
Whatever your fear, get the gear.
This kind of thing plays right into people's (unfounded) fears. Fear of what, I have no idea.

Re: The Journey
In it he writes "We tend to lose sight of the fact that it is never the equipment, but rather the individual who decides the outcome of the fight". IOW winning is decided much more often by "software" (the human component) than by "hardware".
And I'll never forget the Carlos Hathcock story where he was visiting a .mil sniper exhibition. Upon reviewing all the fancy high tech gear he literally asked "what's all this shit"?

Dec 20, 2013I loved FR3 on the PS2, so when I saw a DS version I thought it would be just as good, but also portable. Instead it was completely unplayable, the audio was atrocious, the only brightness settings were dim and pitch-black, and the graphics were terrible.
Unlocking all of the tracks, cars and other goodies will add some replay value but you will definitely want to put a few weeks between yourself and the game before you go at it again just so that everything doesn't seem so familiar.
Severely mediocre, but still not nearly as bad as some of the racers that hit the Nintendo DS in the past few weeks. It doesn't redeem Visual Impact for its horrendous Burnout Legends conversion, but at least, judging by the vast improvement of this racer, the French developer isn't completely incompetent.
A dull and clumsy racing game that will disappoint even the most forgiving Ford enthusiasts.

LAPD chief defends deadly shooting
LOS ANGELES Police Chief Charlie Beck on Tuesday defended an officer's shooting of a knife-wielding man whose death sparked a violent protest, with demonstrators pelting police with rocks and bottles.
Beck told the Police Commission that witness and officer accounts indicate that the officer who killed Guatemalan immigrant Manuel Jamines on Sunday acted "in immediate defense of life" and that he was warned in English and Spanish to drop the knife, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The shooting prompted demonstrations Monday afternoon near MacArthur Park in an inner-city area west of downtown with a large population of Spanish-speaking immigrants from Central America.
Demonstrators marched back and forth between a bustling shopping area where the shooting occurred and the Rampart police station three blocks away. Some held a candlelight vigil.
On Monday night, some protesters began hurling rocks, bottles and debris at officers and set some trash on fire. By the time the confrontation ended at about 2 a.m. Tuesday, four people had been arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor inciting a riot, Officer Bruce Borihanh said.
Three officers were slightly injured by hurled debris but returned to duty, he said.
Lt. Andrew Neiman claimed "provocateurs" started the confrontation, City News Service reported.
There was no further violence Tuesday, but officers planned to keep squads on streets in the area through the day, he added.
Beck provided a detailed preliminary account of the shooting to the civilian commission that oversees the police force. He said three bicycle patrol officers were flagged down Sunday afternoon and told that a man with a knife was threatening people.
Some people in the neighborhood have said that Jamines understood little or no English. However, Beck said officers who spotted the man repeatedly ordered him, in both English and Spanish, to drop the knife. Instead, he raised it over his head and moved toward the officers, one of whom fired two shots at him, Beck said.
Jamines, 37, was pronounced dead at the scene. Friends said he was a construction worker and father of three.
Protesters contended the man was drunk but not dangerous and say officers should have used a non-lethal weapon to subdue him.
Beck said bicycle officers frequently do not carry the selection of non-lethal weapons that are found in patrol cars.
The police union issued a statement Tuesday calling the shooting a "tragic incident" and said community activists were trying to stir up controversy.
"Getting drunk and threatening bystanders and then LAPD officers with a knife is dangerous and self-destructive in any language," said the statement from the Los Angeles Police Protective League. "This was not and should not be a controversial shooting."
On Tuesday afternoon Juana Neri, 57, a Mexican immigrant housewife who lives two blocks away, pushed her grocery bag in a baby stroller past the corner where the man was killed.
"It's bad, what the police did, but what's worse is the silly stuff that people were doing here," she told The Associated Press, referring to the violence.
"We are not in our country, and with the problems that Hispanic immigrants have these days, it's better not to cause problems," she said.

I somewhat majorly edited my deck, instead of a B/U deck its more of a Black deck with a splash of blue for Grimgrin, Corpse-Born and Dissipate, i also ended up removing a few lands and Ghoulraiser in favor of Abattoir Ghoul for some more fighting force, any further criticism or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
A friend of mine kindly told me of Unbreathing Horde being invincible as long as I have an Adaptive Automaton or Cemetery Reaper on the field so I replaced Abattoir Ghoul to add some.

There will be a Matt Waldman column soon on the four top Speed Score guys and their strengths and weaknesses. Meanwhile, top prospect Ka'Deem Carey of Arizona had a Speed Score of 84.8, which would be the lowest ever for a player chosen in the first three rounds of the draft who wasn't immediately moved to wide receiver.

I was just going to say, that I remember Al saying they were going back to the old font. So.....in time, I bet they will create a new logo. OR....just use the same logo picture with the new font. But most likley the first one.Originally Posted by Disneyfreak
From what I understand, it's going back to the classic font, with the classic "Happiest Place On Earth" slogan. Of course, there are slight variations, but you get the point:
even before the 50th, this logo was already done away with. It is still around on some things, but only due to fact that financially it doesn't make sense to throw out everything that has this logo on it for the sake of throwing it out, instead it's being phased out. the logos in MG's post are examples of the logo that has been used before the 50th and is used as part of the 50th logo and will most likely return as the main logo.Originally Posted by Sosai X

Yup. That old logo was dead on arrival. It's completely souless, not to mention Californians have known nothing but the old logotype that I posted above so when they changed to the new "Resort Logo" when DCA arrived, people gave it the cold shoulder. I would bet money on the logos I posted above to be the ones used from here on out. The classic "Disneyland" font can't be replaced - ever. TDA already learned that and is now having to fix it by phasing everything out and changing everything over.Originally Posted by Anders
Plus, TDA wants to ease away from anything that reminds people of DCA right now - so that Resort logo that was introduced with DCA and that features Grizzly Peak - a prominent DCA icon - isn't something they want. Al has talked about this - he outlined how the DCA logo has changed to emphasise the "Disney" name and now just has "California Adventure" as somewhat of an afterthought. Kind of how "Disneyland" is emphasised in the new Disneyland Resort logo and "Resort" is kind of there as an afterthought.
They have already started replacing the 2001 logo on the trash cans by the tram loading area by parking structure. They will most likely get around to the orange and cream ones in the esplanade soon.
^you beat me to it. i was going to point this out as well. the "new" logo has brought a smile to my face, even if it's mainly just on the trashcans
i like the classic logo much better. i think it's hard for any brand to change their logo, especially an American institution like disneyland.

720x576 TV-out with Chrontel 7007

Re: 720x576 TV-out with Chrontel 7007
IMHO the ideal TV-OUT configuration would be to always configure 1:1 scaling in the encoder, generate a modeline that provides the resulting horizontal and vertical resolution (depending on TV standard), and offer the user some way to set the borders of the visible area depending on the overscan characteristics of his TV set (e.g. by tweaking the modeline using xvidtune or similar).
The result would be an odd resolution, but at least there is no unnecessary scaling involved.
I think the current solutions (to go via a "standard" resolution like 800x600 and then scale it and add fixed borders) are inherited from the Windows world, where users and some software expect standard resolutions.
There is no such situation in Linux, I have always used "nonstandard" resolutions under X, e.g. to make the pixels square and have the best achievable resolution on the monitor I happened to own.
This is possible on VGA by tweaking the modeline, and it would be nice if the same was possible on TV-OUT.
(fortunately my current TV has VGA input so I no longer have to fight this war)

You need to fix this app now when I scan a game it tells me every time the sever is having technical issues try again later, until you fix this problem, one star cuz I will have to find one that works.and I'm using the note 2.
(58 stars)
Great helpful app, can add in almost all the information I need. Great for keeping track of my games and what I want to pick up in the future. My only small suggestions would be to add the ability to specify systems for wish list items. Also adding Steam and Nintendo Virtual Downloads to the systems. Finally adding the ability to search the wish list as well as library.

Game in my collection has no info... Just a pic and the name if the game... Lame

An automatic backup to their server! Once a week would be perfect.

This app does everything its suppose too. A few things that could improve it, the ability to sort via alphabetically, also have the ability to have the picture of the game show up on the main screen. Last suggestion, make a place for condition of the games so you know if any of them need replaced. Thanks for reading.
(58 stars)
I love the simplicity of this app, and I'd be completely lost without it when making a trip to the local game shop. One thing I'd like to see in a future update, is the ability to hide or remove game systems from the drop down list. Or even if I could just sort the systems I buy games for the most up at the top of the drop down list, tgat would be great too.
(58 stars)
The app serves it's purpose! I've run through four phones and recovery was swift an easy every time! As for suggestions, a UI update would be nice, as I feel like there's a bit of clutter happening. Especially on the main screen where you're trying to give a lot of information, but all of the fonts and accents are the same. Also, the social aspect that's been implemented, I feel as though it isn't

Hi my name is Rick and I am a painter and photographer specializing in Children's Art, Seascapes and Southwest Art.
I'm a builder and designer at heart so I am always making things and coming up with new ideas. I always have ideas that I jot down in my notepad to create using digital photography, photoshop, or paint on my canvas or poster board.
I love to paint seascapes and southwest art as well as wildlife animals and people portraits. My style of work is photo-realism and sometimes impressionistic.
I have won awards with my photography but my real passion is painting and being able to create something I envision. To see more of my work, visit http://rickshort3d.wix.com/scenicearthstudios or my website, www.ScenicEarth.com. Thanks for stopping by and come back soon.

Emperador completes P16.2-B share offer
popular .
Trillionstars Holdings Inc. (TSI), soon to be renamed Emperador Inc., completed a public share sale at a discount to its market price, according to a regulatory filing.
The deal has been valued at P16.2 billion.
The 1.8 billion shares on offer, equivalent to a 12 percent stake in the company, were priced at P8.89 apiece, the company said Friday in its disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange. The price reflected a 19.5-percent discount to its previous close due to strong interest among domestic and overseas investors.
The offer price, which was determined after a book building process, was pegged near the bottom of the indicative range of P8.96 and P11.74 previously reported by Thomson Reuter's IFR.
The selling shareholder was Andrew Tan's flagship holding firm, Alliance Global Group Inc., although most of the proceeds from the offer will go back to TSI.
Because of the large discount, TSI fell as much as 16.7 percent during the session. It closed 14.52-percent lower to P9.54 a share.
"The offering attracted strong interest from a wide range of domestic and international investors, including high quality institutional investors as well as ultra-high net worth investors," the company said.
Alliance Global Group is the parent firm of Emperador as well as Tan's other business interests in real estate like Megaworld Corp and Resorts World Manila. It also owns half of the local franchise holder of the McDonalds chain.
Only a few weeks ago, TSI was known as IT firm Touch Solutions Inc. prior to a backdoor listing transaction of Emperador, which is the world's biggest producer of brandy.
Based on the agreement between Alliance Global Group and TSI, P11.2 billion of the gross proceeds will be used by TSI to fund the growth of Emperador.
Based on the offer price, TSI's market capitalization will be valued at approximately P135 billion, making it one of the top 20 largest listed companies on the PSE. Miguel R. Camus

Günter Eich
|Günter Eich
1 February 1907
Lebus, German Empire
|20 December 1972
(aged 65)
Salzburg, Austria
|Notable awards
Hörspielpreis der Kriegsblinden
|Ilse Aichinger
(1953–1972, his death)
Günter Eich (German: [ˈɡʏntɐ ˈaɪç]; 1 February 1907 – 20 December 1972) was a German lyricist, dramatist, and author. He was born in Lebus, on the Oder River, and educated in Leipzig, Berlin, and Paris.
Eich made his first appearance in print with some poems in the Anthology of the Latest Poetry. His first radio play, written in collaboration with Martin Raschke, was performed in 1929. From 1929-1932, Eich lived as a freelance writer in Dresden, Berlin, and on the Baltic coast, writing mainly for the radio. From 1939-1945, Eich served in the German army in a signals unit. In 1945, he was held as a war prisoner in an American internment camp, and in 1946, he was released and moved to Geisenhausen in Bavaria.[1] After being held as a prisoner of war, he was one of the founders in 1947 of Gruppe 47, and for poems in his then unpublished Abgelegene Gehöfte, he was one of the first two recipients, in 1950, of its Literature Prize for young writers. In 1953, he married the Austrian writer Ilse Aichinger. Their son Clemens was born on May 22, 1954, and their daughter Mirjam was born in 1958.
He continued to publish prose, poetry, and radio plays over the rest of his life. Eich died in Salzburg in 1972.
Before the Third Reich[edit]
Eich was a contributor to Ana Victoria, a literary magazine.[2] "Die Kolonne" is seen as a reaction against contemporary Modernist literary trends,[3] and rests on three central principles: "the essential timelessness of the inner life, the notion of the genius as representative of his age, and the religious function of art."[4] Eich believed in a fundamental incompatibility between poetry and politics and in his essay, "Bemerkungen über Lyrik", he drew a line between the poet "als Lyriker" and "als Privatmann" which allows poets to be politically active as long as it does not impinge on their work.[5]
Eich is regarded as a literary conservative and his public association with a staunchly critical review of Johannes R. Becher's poem "Der Große Plan" attests to this. According to Cuomo, "The most fitting overall characterisation of '[Die Kolonne]' would not be liberal or progressive, but conservative."[6] "Die Kolonne" was strongly representative of Eich's own aesthetic and ideological views, and although largely apolitical, it appeared to favor conservative ideology. Despite this apparent conservatism, the journal aimed to separate literature from any political influence.[1]
During the Third Reich[edit]
The majority of Eich's literary output in this period were radio plays, which numbered 160.[7] The most well known of these today is Rebellion in der Goldstadt, which was only recently discovered. The play was broadcast on the 8th of May 1940 in an anti-British radio campaign the Goebbels' Propaganda Ministry was waging. It deals with a South African mine and its workers striking against the poor wages they receive from the overtly capitalist British owner, Lord Pembroke. There is some contention surrounding Eich's complete authorship of the play as there is no broadcast text in his handwriting.[1][8]
Response to the Machtergreifung[edit]
After the war, Eich made many public statements about the role of artists in standing up against oppressive regimes: "If our work cannot be understood as criticism, as opposition and resistance, [...] then we are positive and decorate the slaughterhouse with geraniums."[9] and "Seid unbequem, seid Sand, nicht das Öl im Getriebe der Welt!"[10] which translates as "Be inconvenient, be sand, not oil in the gears of the world!"
These statements, however, stand in stark contrast to his actions during the Third Reich. His radio plays were often tailored to fit the propagandistic needs of the Nazi party, extolling the Blut und Boden rural life and denouncing the decadent capitalism of the regime's enemies. It is believed that Eich had pragmatic reasons for writing all of his radio plays:
Eichs Rundfunktätigkeit beschränkte sich auf den Hörspielbereich und diente dem Broterwerb. [...] Wie viele Hörspiele, Märchenbearbeitungen, Kalenderblätter Eich auch schrieb, niemals hat er damit «Karriere« gemacht.
Eich's broadcasting activity was limited to radio plays and breadwinning. Like many of the radio plays, fairy tale adaptation and calendar pages that Eich also wrote he never tried to 'make a career' out of it.
His collected works were published in four volumes in 1991.
James Dickey opened his 1965 poem "The Firebombing," about a nighttime air raid on the Japanese town of Beppu, with this epigraph from Eich's work:
- Denke daran, dass nach den großen Zerstörungen
- Jedermann beweisen wird, dass er unschuldig war.
- Think of this: that after the great destructions
- every man will attest that he was innocent.
Literary prizes[edit]
Eich received numerous literary prizes after World War II, including one from the literary association of which he was a member, Gruppe 47, in 1950. In 1953, he won the Hörspielpreis der Kriegsblinden for his radio play Die Andere und ich (The Other and I).[11] Eich also won the Georg-Büchner-Preis in 1959 and the Schiller-Gedächtnispreis in 1968.

Wish I Was Here, the movie that actor and second-time director Zach Braff partially funded with money raised through Kickstarter, isn't nearly terrible enough to satisfy all the grumblers who are hoping to see it fail. When Braff couldn't secure traditional financing for the film, he appealed to the fan base he'd built up over nine seasons of Scrubs. Disgruntled interwebsters complained: Wasn't Braff rich, or at least a guy with connections? Was it fair to take money from loyal supporters who wouldn't receive a share of the profits if the film became a surprise hit?
There are plenty of carving knives out for Braff, and for Wish I Was Here. The reality is that it's disappointingly okay. Braff had something to say — about the ways the loss of a parent can both rattle and redefine us, for one thing — and not enough money to say it. He also wanted the freedom to choose his actors. The vitriol directed at Braff suggests that traditional methods of film financing are somehow more artistically pure, and nothing could be further from the truth.
Wish I Was Here is at least stretching toward something, and Braff's earnest determination helps smooth out some of the awkward bumps. Braff plays Aidan, a desperately unemployed actor trying hard to live and work in Los Angeles. Wife Sarah (Kate Hudson) essentially supports him and the couple's two children, Grace and Tucker, with her tedious job at the water authority, where she tolerates an insidious form of sexual harassment from a co-worker.

Region: Uptown/ Eat Street

Lagoon Cinema, starts Friday
But that's only the beginning of the couple's problems: Aidan's cantankerous father, Gabe (Mandy Patinkin), is dying of cancer. He tries an experimental treatment that drains his bank account, which means he can no longer afford Grace and Tucker's private-school tuition. Aidan and Sarah aren't particularly religious, or even vaguely spiritual, which is just one reason they feel blindsided by the looming death of a parent: They lament that they don't know how to explain death, or the possibility of an afterlife, to their kids because they don't know what they believe themselves.
If Braff is guilty of anything, it's of sending the story sprawling in too many directions at once. (He co-wrote the script with his brother, Adam.) He opens the movie with some fantasy–voice-over folderol about how he and his brother used to pretend they were superheroes capable of saving the world. The next scene, in which Braff's Aidan swears freely at the breakfast table in front of his children — and rails against their demand that he drop a dollar in the swear jar — is much better. Braff neglects some crucial or at least just potentially interesting story threads. And there are too many places where Braff indulges Aidan's childish self-absorption.
But Braff is adequately sympathetic in Wish I Was Here. Aidan is well past the age when he needs to realize that his man-child pout won't get him everything he wants, and once in a while, you see that recognition hit: Braff's half–zonked-out demeanor gives way to something more adult. No matter how Braff paid for Wish I Was Here, there have been far worse sins committed in the name of filmmaking. How many dollars does he have to put in the swear jar before we'll forgive him?

Green Bay running back Alex Green "definitely" will return for Sunday's game against Minnesota in Minneapolis, coach Mike McCarthy said. Green missed last Sunday's 55-7 rout of the Tennessee Tians because of a concussion. He has rushed for 464 yards on 135 carries this season. "Alex Green, I was surprised that he wasn't available for Tennessee just based on the way that process, the result of the process, so he'll definitely be available," McCarthy said, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. McCarthy also is hoping that safety Charles Woodson (collarbone), receiver Jordy Nelson (hamstring), tight end Tom Crabtree (hamstring) and defensive end Jerel Worthy (hamstring) will be available Sunday. "I know Jordy, talking with him, he feels like he's very close. Charles, he's waiting on information from the medical staff. He's very close," McCarthy said. The Packers (11-5) could secure the NFC's No. 2 seed and a first-round bye in the playoffs with a win over the Vikings.

Ravensbourne (college)

Ravensbourne (formerly the Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication) is a university sector college in the field of digital media and design, with a vocationally focused portfolio of courses, spanning fashion, television and broadcasting, interactive product design, architecture and environment design, graphic design, animation, moving image, music production for media and sound design.
Ravensbourne, which was formerly Bromley Technical College, was opened in 1959 by the amalgamation of the Bromley School of Art and the Department of Furniture Design of the Beckenham School of Art. It was originally located at Bromley Common and Chislehurst in outer London before moving to a new purpose-built campus in inner London on the Greenwich Peninsula in September 2010.
The Bromley School of Art opened in 1878 in Tweedy Road, Bromley.[3] It became Bromley College of Art after the second world war.[4] In 1959 it merged with the Department of Furniture Design of the Beckenham School of Art and in 1965 moved to purpose-built accommodation on Rookery Lane, Bromley Common. The site had originally housed the Rookery, an 18th-century house that had been burnt out while in military occupation in 1946. As the college expanded it was unable to develop the Rookery Lane site any further, as it was part of the Metropolitan Green Belt. Limitations to space had already resulted in Foundation courses being housed in temporary buildings in the grounds around the main building. This resulted in the college moving in 1975,[1] to a new site set amongst 18 acres (73,000 m2) of private parkland on Walden Road, Chislehurst51°25′14″N 0°03′13″E / 51.4205°N 0.0537°E. The Rookery Lane site was redeveloped for the Bromley College of Further & Higher Education.
It has offered higher level courses in design since the 1960s. In 1985 the Broadcasting department joined, replacing Fine Arts. It was amongst the earliest of institutions to be approved by the then CNAA to convert the traditional Diploma programmes in Art and Design into honours degrees during the 1970s. Following the demise of the CNAA in 1992, Ravensbourne entered into a validating partnership with the Royal College of Art, which agreed exceptionally to take this responsibility because of the institution's strong reputation and longstanding links with the RCA.[citation needed] This validation ceased when the Royal College of Art withdrew from offering collaborative provision. In April 2010, following a re-branding programme and in anticipation of the college's relocation, it shortened its name from Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication to simply 'Ravensbourne'.
Ravensbourne was recognised previously as an affiliate College of the University of Sussex in 1996 and was re-recognised in 2002. Between 2009 and 2012 the institution's undergraduate and postgraduate provision was validated by City University, London. This relationship was maintained until May 2012, when both parties agreed to withdraw from the validating partnership in order to pursue their respective academic strategies. In June 2013, the new validation partner, University of the Arts London was confirmed.[5]
2010 Campus Relocation[edit]
It was decided that the institution would either have to merge with another institution, or relocate from its location in Chislehurst, Southeast London. The latter option was chosen and a new campus was constructed at Greenwich Peninsula, which opened in September 2010.[6]
The new campus is next to The O2, an entertainment district at Greenwich Peninsula, which has the intention of bringing the institution closer to partner institutions and the industries to which it relates. The new building is designed to replicate the working environment of industry, with a high emphasis on student and industry collaboration.
The new building won a British Construction Industry Award in 2011.[7]
Curriculum and reputation[edit]
Ravensbourne offers Further Education, Undergraduate and Postgraduate programmes taught in a single faculty with two main clusters of courses, Design and Production.
Within the area of Further Education, Ravensbourne offers the Diploma in Foundation Studies for both Art & Design and Media, as well as the BTEC National Certificate in Art and Design.
At undergraduate level, there are Foundation degrees, honours degree level top-up years (for those having completed foundation degrees or equivalent), and Bachelor's degrees. A number of these Bachelor's degrees also offer a "Level 0" programme. Many of these degrees are currently[when?] undergoing a transition period with the introduction of newly validated programmes. The available postgraduate provision consists of 14 Master's level courses, each of which can be studied to MA, MDes or MSc (dependent on subject), or to MInnov[clarification needed] or MFA level if desired. A range of subject areas are offered within the main disciplines of fashion, design and broadcasting.
Ravensbourne students have achieved success in national competitions such as the Royal Society of Arts Design Awards (RSA), British Design in Art Direction Awards (D&AD), New Designers Awards, Graduate Fashion Week Awards and Promax Awards.[citation needed]
Ravensbourne enjoys strong relationships with the creative industries to which it relates.[citation needed] The College's students are over-represented in its success rate for national prizes, competitions and awards and its graduates are highly employable.[8] Many[citation needed] undergraduate students also progress to postgraduate courses at highly reputable institutions such as Central St. Martins and the Royal College of Art.
Ravensbourne also provides a range of masterclasses and short courses, available to both students and industry professionals.
National Centre of Excellence[edit]
Ravensbourne has a £16m industry-standard high-definition digital broadcast facility, and is one of seventeen national Skillset Media Academies.
The Degree Show[edit]
Every year Ravensbourne holds its annual degree show, with the aim of showing off their latest graduates from various design and communication courses at Ravensbourne. The show takes place between the 16 and 20 June this year. The entire show has been rebranded in 2014 to try and create a more inclusive show which showcases all courses at Ravensbourne. There are various sights to see including two fashion shows as well as a television channel which will be available on Freeview. There are also various installations erected around the building, showing off the creative of all students at Ravensbourne.[9]
Students' Union[edit]
The Students' Union at Ravensbourne has recently undergone a full rebrand to become 'Ravensbourne Students' Union' or 'RSU' for short. The rebrand of the Students' Union coincides with Ravensbourne's new location and identity and builds on the college's branding, released in 2010. Over the course of the last two years the Students' Union have begun the process of professionalising the Union, bringing it into line with its own constitution and engaging more actively with the NUS. RSU's first sabbatical President was appointed in the 2012 elections and will serve until 2013.
During the 2013/2014 year the Students Union and Student Parliament put through motions and polices to make changes to the structure and constitution of the RSU to ensure that the officers were representative of all students in the institution. This new structure is based on Clusters of courses (Content, Design, Fashion and Production) and each has a Vice president as the lead representative.[10]

Interracial older white women.
Lauren Phoenix's butt deserves special mention because it looks so damn good in the final scene. Lauren, along with a handful of other sexy white women, gets fed some big black beefsticks in six solid mother and wife vignettes.
Lauren's scene is easily a standout; she teases the dishwasher repairman while wearing a flimsy nightie that covers only the top quarter of her big butt. Olivia O'Lovely gives an eager cock slurping and butt bouncing performance. Big boobed blonde newcomer Eden is worth checking out. And older gal Jillian gets put on her stomach and fucked in the ass.

I thought he'd at least get his next start against Tampa Bay. It's understandable -- three horrific starts in a row -- but still a bit of a shock in its own way.
Mussina doesn't have the postseason reputation that, say, Pettitte does, but is it wrong of me that I'd still take a chance of throwing him out there in the postseason even more than the regular season?

Mt. Carmel Sundevils' band to march in Rose Parade
"My biggest fear is falling," she said. "You can't really do that in a parade."
But Jennifer said there's more to marching than using your feet.
"Holding up an instrument is real hard," she said. "Fifteen minutes is my max."
Jennifer's bandmate John Peterson chimed in to say that he has to march with a trumpet. But, John said, he's not worried about the big day.
"I think it's awesome," he said. "I'm not nervous."
On Thursday, the Sundevils will march in the 2005 Port of San Diego Big Bay Balloon Parade with 13 high school and two college bands. The parade, which will be televised, is part of the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl. It starts at 10 a.m. on Harbor Drive and runs for 1.5 miles along the Embarcadero in downtown San Diego.
On Tuesday, the band performed during the Holiday Bowl's band competition, held at Mt. Carmel's stadium. A dozen bands from across the county competed except for the Mt. Carmel band, which used the opportunity as a dress rehearsal.
"They haven't really done a lot of training before vacation but I thought the kids were well prepared," Torns said. "The kids take a lot of pride in their program and what they produce. They are extremely hardworking."
This will be the fifth time Torns has taken his band to the Rose Parade and he said it's just as exciting as the first time.
"It's a great experience, more for the kids than anything else," he said. "It's a tremendous feeling of pride."

If you too are not familiar with large personal injury cases, you will need to think about your strategy before you act and many times, you will need to reorganize your practice, devoting more time and resources to the big case to accommodate the need for quick action.

Stylish sanctuary: 10 'mom cave' must-haves
'Mom caves,' tranquil spaces carved out of low-traffic parts of the home provide an ideal antidote to holiday stress. Here's a few handmade and eco-friendly decor items to help make a modern 'mom cave' complete.
Tue, Nov 09, 2010 at 03:49 AM
With trend pieces appearing in publications ranging from The Washington Post to Shine, this fall is no-doubt the season when the 'mom cave' concept officially hit the mainstream.
However, the act of matriarchs creating hideaways within a home — usually in a large closet, unused guest room, or an infrequently trafficked nook — isn't exactly new. Maybe she was a trailblazer, but my own mother set up a bed and desk and totally redecorated my childhood bedroom shortly after my younger brother and I had officially fled the nest and hasn't looked back. And it's only fair … my father built a second home that essentially serves as his man cave.
Real Simple Senior Editor Nicole Sforza explains the basics of the 'mom cave' phenomenon to Shine:
A mom takes care of everyone in the family, but she also has to take care of herself. 'Mom Caves' allow her to break away from the world, even if just for a few moments, to check in and relax, de-stress, and just plain chill.
With the high-stress holidays around the corner, there's never been a better time for moms to take a breather from the daily grind and partake in some creative cave building. Securing a space that provides a refuge from kids, husbands, and mother-in-laws is obviously the most important step in making a matriarchal "safe room." The second most important step? Outfitting it to make it feel comfortable, personalized, and maybe a little bit Zen.
Below you'll find 10 handmade and/or eco-friendly decorative items that can help any modern "mom cave" seem complete. Moms, do you have any "mom cave"-making tips?
