"Premiere enceinte de Bruxelles - the first walls" Brussels Things to Do Tip by illumina
Brussels Things to Do: 2,252 reviews and 4,072 photos
A series of fortifications built around the city in the 12th or 13th century, the defensive measures included forty individual towers. The city quickly outgrew this wall, and a second, larger, set were begun in 1356. The first wall was dismantled between the 16th and 18th centuries, but isolated sections can still be seen today.
I particularly liked the Black Tower, next to St Catherine's church (Place Ste Catherine), and the Aneessens Tower (at the top of Rue Haute / Rue de Rollebeek

Astronaut exits space station with music video
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — In a high-flying, perfectly pitched first, an astronaut on the International Space Station is bowing out of orbit with a musical video: his own custom version of David Bowie's "Space Oddity."
It's believed to be the first music video made in space, according to NASA.
Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield's personalized rendition of "Space Oddity" was posted on YouTube on Sunday, one day before his departure from the orbiting lab. He's wrapping up a five-month mission that began last December.
He returned aboard a Russian Soyuz capsule, along with American Thomas Marshburn and Russian Roman Romanenko, late Monday to Kazakhstan.
Hadfield, 53, a longtime guitarist who played in an astronaut rock 'n' roll band, recorded the video throughout the space station. He had some down-to-Earth help from a Canadian music team.
"With deference to the genius of David Bowie, here's Space Oddity, recorded on Station. A last glimpse of the World," Hadfield said via Twitter.
The spaceman altered some of the lyrics of Bowie's 1969 version, singing "Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing left to do." The Bowie version goes "... and there's nothing I can do." And instead of "Take your protein pills and put your helmet on," it became, "Lock your Soyuz hatch and put your helmet on."
Planet Earth provided a stunning backdrop for many of the scenes.
"It's just been an extremely fulfilling and amazing experience end to end," Hadfield told Mission Control on Monday. "We're, of course, focusing very much on flying the Soyuz home now and looking forward to seeing everybody face to face. But from this Canadian to all the rest of them, I offer an enormous debt of thanks." He was referring to all those in the Canadian Space Agency who helped make his flight possible.

Hadfield and astronaut Thomas Marshburn are scheduled to return to earth Monday May 13, 2013. (AP Photo/NASA, Chris Hadfield)
Hadfield, an engineer and former test pilot from Milton, Ontario, was Canada's first professional astronaut to live aboard the space station and became the first Canadian in charge of a spacecraft. He relinquished command of the space station on Sunday.

One name that keeps popping up in rumors this week is J.J. Hardy. The Orioles shortstop has been mentioned as desired by the Tigers in a three-team deal that would supposedly send Porcello to the Cubs. According to MLB Rumors, that essential off-season site for us baseball groupies, Buck Showalter has said that the Orioles would have to be unbelievably overwhelmed in order to trade Hardy. And on face value, Showalter is smart to say that. Hardy was terrific at short last season. But his offense has become baffling and bit into his value in 2012. Hardy is difficult to digest in one sitting. But it is a Sunday and a day off, so let's tackle it anyway. The facts are that we can make a case that J.J. Hardy has been the best fielding shortstop since 2005. Of all qualifying shortstops during that time, Hardy has the highest UZR, the third highest fielding percentage and the sixth highest number of assists with 2,000 innings less than, say Rollins ahead of him. He was easily the best...

The following is the story of a journey undertaken in the first months of 1997 in a small primary school in the village of Panico, 20 kilometres south of Bologna, in Italy. It is a very modern story, with a beginning, and with an open end. The story stops when the traveller has to abandon her journey, so that she can tell others the story of her journey. Actually, the story is not even a story, but an impressionistic journal seeking to capture the everchanging movements of a complex universe. It

Literature Review in Informal Learning with Technology Outside School
When we think about learning, we often tend to think about schools, universities, colleges. If we go a little further and think about learning outside school, we might begin to consider museums, galleries and science centres. What we often tend to overlook, however, is the sort of learning that goes on as part of our normal day-to-day activities when we don't even think we are learning. Today, however, anyone who has an interest in how children learn with digital technologies needs to look beyon

Population Aging and Economic Growth
Between 2000 and 2050, the share of the population aged 60 and over is projected to increase in every country in the world; the same is true for the 80+ population in all but one country (Mali). Worldwide, the largest absolute increases are yet to come. Although labor force participation rates are projected to decline from 2000 to 2040 in most countries, due mainly to changes in their age distributions, laborforce- to-population ratios will actually increase in most countries. This is because lo

I have a rooted GPE Moto G with ffosilva's CWM recovery installed. I am wondering if I can flash any Moto G rom to my GPE? Will the Beanstalk, carbon, and unofficial CM builds flash onto an official GPE device without problems? Has anyone else already done this?

From Ricky Ricardo To Dora: Latinos On Television
By Tasnim Shamma
Think Desi Arnaz on I Love Lucy, Freddie Prinze on Chico And The Man, Sofia Vergara on Modern Family. While Spanish has long had a recurring bit role on English-language television, it has slowly but surely become an integral part of the American soundtrack. Here's a look at a few highlights from the past six decades.

A year after the municipal corporation was lauded for its efforts in bringing down malaria cases, another mosquito-borne infectious disease is giving its officials sleepless nights.
During its routine survey last week, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) found most of the dengue mosquito breeding spots in the suburbs. To curb this menace, civic officials are working 24x7 fumigating the city and educating the public, especially housing societies.
"Our weekly-offs and public holidays have been cancelled. We have set up a rapid action force and are conducting indoor fumigation and anti-larval treatment services extensively," said a pesticide officer from H east ward (Bandra, Khar and Santa Cruz).
Officials of the H east ward health department found at least 25 dengue mosquito breeding spots in October alone. "At least 95% of the breeding spots were in housing societies, and the larvae were found in ornamental plants," said a pesticide officer.
The BMC is also holding special awareness programmes for housing societies. "We have sent letters to the society chairmen asking them to attend the programme. So far, the response has been good," said a pest control officer from K west ward.
With nursing homes and private hospitals seeing a large number of dengue admissions, they are sending the patient details to the BMC every day. "This year, we have seen many dengue admissions. At present, six such patients are being treated at here," Dr Anil Suchak, medical director of Suchak Nursing Home, Malad (East).
Dr Rajiv Walawalkar, who owns a nursing home in Ghatkopar, said: "Patients with dipping platelet counts are being admitted to hospitals as physicians don't want to take any chances."
Doctors opined that a patient's family usually gets lax with the treatment after the fever subsides. But this may lead to the platelet count dropping again and a relapse.
Though chances of dengue proving fatal is very low, a patient can slip into a dengue haemorrhagic shock syndrome if more that two types of dengue virus attack him back to back.

Haslam defers to federal government on health insurance exchange
NASHVILLE — Gov. Bill Haslam's decision Monday to keep state government out of the health insurance exchange business and defer to a federally run exchange was politically popular with conservatives but may end up costing Tennesseans more in the long run.
The governor notified U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius that "Tennessee will not be pursuing a state-based insurance exchange" — a one-stop marketplace for consumers and businesses to compare competing commercial health insurance plans and buy the plans they choose.
Haslam said it was a "business decision," not a political calculation, reached largely because the federal government had not provided enough information about the latitude states would be given to operate their own exchanges. "I know if given the proper latitude Tennessee could operate an exchange in a more efficient and cost effective manner than the federal government. However, after studying all of the guidance we have received to date — including the more than 800 pages of draft rules issued since the November election — it has become apparent that the federal government is calling all of the shots and has important decisions still pending," he wrote Sebelius.
The exchange issue is the first of two major decisions states face under the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act, the federal health reform law also known as "Obamacare." The other, which has no deadline for action, is whether to expand the TennCare/Medicaid program to people with incomes up to 138 percent of poverty level.
While the decision on an exchange was closely watched by businesses and insurance companies, the Medicaid expansion question is much more critical to Tennessee's hospitals and other health care providers — and potentially greater impact on state finances. Haslam said the decisions are not related, and rejected the idea that saying no to President Obama on an exchange gives him some political cover later to opt for the Medicare expansion — which goes into effect Jan. 1, 2014, for states that choose it.
States must notify Washington by Friday of their intention either to run their own insurance exchanges, partner with the HHS on a joint exchange, or totally defer to a federally run exchange. According to a national count by The Associated Press, 18 states, including Tennessee, have deferred to a federal exchange, 17 are creating state exchanges, seven are joining state-federal partnerships and eight remain undecided. Haslam said it's possible that Tennessee could still create an exchange but HHS will only pay the full costs of implementation — estimated at about $70 million — if the exchange is up and running Jan. 1, 2014.
Conservatives at both the state and federal level applauded Haslam's decision. Rep. Glen Casada of Franklin, chairman of the state House Republican Caucus, said the "federal government is making up rules for Obamacare as it goes along (and) to have tied Tennessee to that albatross would have undermined our state in a number of ways."
Both issues are politically charged, with many conservatives opposing any state participation. Between 200 and 300 tea party activists rallied outside the State Capitol last Wednesday in opposition to a state-run exchange.
On the other side, most of the state's insurance companies, health care advocates and some business leaders encouraged Haslam to establish a state-run exchange to retain state control and keep down costs. House Democratic Leader Craig Fitzhugh of Ripley said he was "disappointed to see the governor pandering to the far right of his party rather than doing what is best for the people of Tennessee."
Gordon Bonnyman, director of the Tennessee Justice Center and one of the state's leading advocates for broader health coverage, said the decision "will not have a significant impact on Tennesseans. Individuals and businesses who want to use the exchange to shop for health coverage will likely have a similar experience regardless of who administers the exchange" because the law is the same for both the state and federal governments.
The state's analysis, by the state's top TennCare administrators, detailed pros and cons of each option for the exchange. The federal government will apply a 3.5 percent surcharge onto health insurance premiums of plans purchased on the exchanges, and Haslam said he believes the state could do it for less.
The state's analysis said that other likely "cons," or negatives, of a federally run exchange include:
Federal control of Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program eligibility procedures "with substantial risk for increased state expenditures."
Federal design of the criteria for the health plans offered on the exchanges, without local involvement or insight.
The state may have to pay costs of taking over an exchange if it decides to do so later.

ApplianceRoper Dryer
Level of DifficultyReally easy
Time to do repair15 - 30 mins
Age of ApplianceMore than 10 years
After doing on line research at other sites, I bought an inexpensive multimeter, took off the back of the dryer, and started trying to figure out what part wasn't working. I might as well have tried to diagnose a jet engine problem, I didn't have a clue. Then I went to the Part Select site, and their stats showed that in 50% or so of the cases where a Roper doesn't start, you need a thermal fuse, and should also replace the cycling thermostat while you're at it. The "how-to" video showed me exactly what the parts look like, and where they are in the machine, and the cost of the parts plus delivery was less than $50!! It was worth taking the chance for $50. The parts came in two days, were installed in five minutes, the dryer works and I'm thrilled! Part Select is the absolute best. This is the first appliance repair I've ever done. I would never have done it without you. Thank you.

Jesse Jenike-Godshalk '11 works at Dinsmore & Shohl
Columbus, OHIO (Feb. 4, 2013) –Cincinnati attorney Jesse Jenike-Godshalk is embracing the opportunity to give back by volunteering for the Spina Bifida Coalition of Cincinnati (SBCCincy) and his alma mater.
Jenike-Godshalk first became involved with SBCCincy at the urging of his wife Katie, a nurse practitioner who is a member of the SBCCincy board and works with teens and adults who have developmental disorders such as spina bifida. He attends board meetings and volunteers at fundraising events like the SBCCincy's yearly Walk & Roll.
"Charitable organizations such as SBCCincy cannot afford to pay a large, full-time workforce, so volunteers are important for their continued operation," Jenike-Godshalk said. "I believe in what the organization is doing, and I am happy to help meet the need it has for volunteer labor."
In that same spirit of giving, Jenike-Godshalk volunteers as a mentor at his alma mater, the University of Cincinnati College of Law. He advises current members of the University of Cincinnati Law Review on everything from how to write a good comment for the publication to how to find a job.
"I enjoy helping others repeat the successes that I have had—while helping them to avoid failures," he said. "I feel satisfied and fulfilled knowing that I am helping others do well in law school." One of his informal mentees is his sister-in-law Elizabeth Thoman, a U.C. law student who is expected to graduate in 2015.
Jenike-Godshalk became a member of the Ohio State Bar Association (OSBA) in 2008 while attending law school, and he recently became a member of the OSBA Young Lawyers Section Council. He is an associate in the intellectual property department at Dinsmore & Shohl LLP in Cincinnati and focuses his practice on patent litigation—prosecuting infringers of his clients' patents and also defending clients who have been accused of infringement. Identifying what he enjoys most about his career, Jenike-Godshalk said, "I enjoy the variability of the work. No one day is like another, and I'm constantly learning new skills and new areas of the law."
It was through Dinsmore & Shohl that he became involved with United Way Emerging Leaders, a program that provides young professionals with opportunities to network, develop leadership skills and give back to the community.

ClassicsOnline Home » STRAVINSKY, I.: Pulcinella / Le baiser de la fee (The Fairy's Kiss) (Craft) (Stravinsky, Vol. 5)
Stravinsky's one-act ballet with song, Pulcinella, is no mere re-working of music by Pergolesi and other 18th-century Italian composers. Instead he uses the originals as a springboard for experimentation, transforming the music into a modern work by means of quirky instrumentation (for example, the jazzy glissandos of the double-bass solo), ostinato melodies, and other 20th-century devices. The ballet The Fairy's Kiss, at another extreme, is a largely original composition. Stravinsky greatly altered, developed, and elaborated melodies from early piano pieces and songs by Tchaikovsky, expanding them into sizeable ballet numbers to form a continuous dance symphony.
At the time of the first performance of Pulcinella the
music was attributed to "Igor Strawinsky d'après
Giambattista Pergolesi". In fact fewer than half of the
pieces that Stravinsky arranged for an orchestra of 33
and three singers were by Pergolesi (1710–1736), whose
entry in The New Grove Dictionary of Music and
Musicians lists more "spurious" and "doubtful"
creations than certifiably authentic ones. As much
material comes from the trio sonatas of the Venetian
composer Domenico Gallo (active c. 1730) as from his
Neapolitan contemporary. Further, the score's most
popular song, "Se tu m'ami," is by Parisotti, not
Pergolesi. The eighteenth-century copies from which
Stravinsky worked are unsigned. Dyagilev told
Stravinsky that they had come from a conservatory
library in Naples, but in actuality most of them were
transcribed in the British Museum.
The libretto is in the hand of Léonide Massine, who
also choreographed the ballet. The scene is set in Naples
and the characters are taken from the Commedia
dell'Arte. Rosetta and Prudenza respond to the
serenading of Caviello and Florindo by dousing them
with water. A Dottore arrives and chases the musical
pair away. Pulcinella enters, dances, and attracts
Prudenza, who tries to embrace him. He rejects her.
Rosetta appears, chaperoned by her father Tartaglia. She
tells him of her love for Pulcinella, for whom she
dances. He kisses her, but is seen by Pimpinella, his
mistress, who becomes jealous. Caviello and Florindo
re-enter in disguise, and Florindo, jealous of Pulcinella,
stabs him. When the would-be lovers leave, Pulcinella
cautiously gets up. Four little Pulcinellas enter, carrying
the body of Furbo disguised as Pulcinella. They place
the body on the floor. The Doctor and Tartaglia enter
with their daughters, who are horrified. A magician
appears and revives the corpse. When the fathers refuse
to believe the miracle, the magician removes his cloak
and reveals himself as the real Pulcinella. The revived
corpse is his friend Furbo. Pimpinella enters but is
frightened at the sight of two Pulcinellas. Florindo and
Caviello return, disguised as Pulcinellas, hoping for
more satisfaction in their amorous pursuits. The
confusion caused by four Pulcinellas prompts Furbo to
resume his disguise as magician. At the end, the
"Pulcinella" couples, including Pimpinella and the
ballet's eponymous hero, are reunited and married.
Further to complicate the distinction of identities,
the musical numbers do not correspond to dramatic
situations, and the texts of the vocal pieces—six of the
seven were borrowed from three different operas—are
unrelated to the stage action. Some of them, but not
including Contento forse vivere, from Metastasio's
Adriano in Siria, are in Neapolitan dialect. Unpromising
as all of this may sound, the vocal pieces, one aria for
the bass, three for the tenor, two for the soprano, one
duet, and two trios, seem to turn the ballet into an opera
with a cohesive dramatic entity.
Stravinsky's chief means of distancing himself from
the eighteenth century is in the instrumentation, which,
almost alone, transforms the music into a modern work.
The small orchestra, with strings divided into ripieni
and a concertante solo quintet, sounds like, but never
completely like, an eighteenth-century ensemble. One
explanation for this is that the trombone, employed in
the eighteenth century chiefly in sacred or solemn
music, is here the instrument of a 1920s jazz band, as
the glissandos confirm. Other modern instrumental
touches include the use of flute and string harmonics,
and string effects such as flautando, saltando, and the
non-arpeggiated double-stop pizzicato. Still other
twentieth-century orchestral novelties are the alternation
of string and wind ensembles for entire pieces, as in,
respectively, the Gavotta and the Tarantella, the
exploitation of wind-instrument virtuosity—the
whirligig velocity of the flutes in the C minor Allegro—
and the high ranges of the double-reeds (the oboe's high
A, and a bassoon tessitura fully a fifth higher than would
be expected in eighteenth-century music). The
contrabass, too, in its syncopated, jazz-style solo,
explores a higher altitude than is normal in Old Music,
but this bass riff does not change a note of the original.
Indeed, what is most surprising about the whole of
Pulcinella is how closely Stravinsky follows his
melodic and figured-bass skeletons, and how little he
alters the harmonic and melodic structure. The bass
vocal part also requires an exceptional high-register,
which the vocal score wrongly transposes an octave
The Fairy's Kiss
Scene I
The lullaby in the storm:
A mother, lulling her child, struggles through a storm.
The Fairy's attendant sprites appear and pursue her.
They separate her from the infant and carry him off. The
Fairy herself appears. She approaches the child and
enfolds him with her tenderness. Then she kisses him on
the forehead and goes away. Now he is alone. Country
folk, passing, find him, search in vain for his mother,
and, deeply distressed, take him with them.
Scene II
A village fête:
A peasant dance is in progress, with musicians on the
stage. Among the dancers are a young man and his
fiancée. The musicians and the crowd disperse, and, his
fiancée going away with them, the young man remains
alone. The Fairy approaches him in the guise of a gypsy
woman. She takes his hand and tells his fortune, then
she dances, and, ever increasingly, subjects him to her
will. She talks of his romance and promises him great
happiness. Captivated by her words, he begs her to lead
him to his fiancée.
Scene III
At the mill:
Guided by the Fairy, the young man arrives at the mill,
where he finds his fiancée among her friends playing
games. The Fairy disappears. They all dance; then the
girl goes with her friends to put on her wedding veil.
The young man is left alone.
Scene IV
The Fairy appears, wearing a wedding veil. The young
man takes her for his bride. He goes towards her,
enraptured, and addresses her in the terms of warmest
passion. Suddenly the Fairy throws off her veil.
Dumbfounded, the young man realizes his mistake. He
tries to free himself, but in vain; he is defenseless before
the supernatural power of the Fairy. His resistance
overcome, she holds him in her power. Now she will
bear him away to a land beyond time and place, where
she will again kiss him, this time on the sole of the foot.
The Lullaby of the Eternal Place:
The Fairy's attendant sprites group themselves in slow
movements of great tranquillity before a wide décor
representing the infinite space of the heavens. The Fairy
and the young man appear on a ridge. She kisses him to
the sound of her lullaby.
The young man, of course, is Tchaikovsky himself, the
Fairy his Mephistophelean muse. The ending of
Stravinsky's homage to his beloved forbear, one of the
most moving he ever wrote, is rarely heard in ballet
performances at present. George Balanchine's
abbreviated version of the ballet concludes with the
peasants' dance, which is in the dominant, not the tonic,
of its key.
Commentaries on The Fairy's Kiss generally
attempt to establish parallels between Pergolesi–
Stravinsky and Tchaikovsky–Stravinsky, but the only
exact one is that both unwitting collaborators were
composers of the past. The unique entirely original
music in Pulcinella is a short bridge section and the
introduction to the Tarantella. The Fairy's Kiss, at
another extreme, is largely original composition.
Stravinsky greatly altered, developed, and elaborated
melodies from early piano pieces and songs by
Tchaikovsky, expanding them into sizable ballet
numbers forming a continuous dance symphony. He
was so familiar with Tchaikovsky's stylistic features,
melodic, harmonic, and instrumental, that he could
compose more Tchaikovsky himself.
The sketches for The Fairy's Kiss do not contain a
single reference to sources in Tchaikovsky, but perhaps
more than those for any other Stravinsky work they
confirm T. S. Eliot's dictum that "the mark of the master
is to be able to make small changes that will be highly
significant". In some instances Stravinsky simply
changes Tchaikovsky's tempo. Thus the Scherzo
humoresque becomes the slow-tempo song at the
beginning of Scene III of the ballet, and Tchaikovsky's
Allegretto grazioso is wholly transformed simply by
being played at half tempo: Stravinsky retains the
melody, rhythm, and even the harmony of the original.
Stravinsky had a genius for perceiving the slow-tempo
lyrical piece in the fast-tempo one, the attractive melody
obscured by the dull rhythm. The male dancer's
Variation in Scene III changes Tchaikovsky's 3/4
Nocturne to 6/8 and his monotonously repeated eighthnotes
(quavers) to quarters (crotchets) followed by
eighths (quavers). I should add that the ballet also
transposes the piece from A down to G, but that, clearly,
was to accommodate the high notes of the horn.
The most remarkable transformation in The Fairy's
Kiss is that of the early song "Both Painful and Sweet"
into the Ballad that concludes Scene II. In the first five
notes of the theme, Stravinsky reverses the melodic
sequence E, C sharp, D natural, to E, C natural, D sharp,
thereby changing A major to A minor, while preserving
the ambitus. He also rewrites Tchaikovsky's rhythmic
pattern of quarter-note (crotchet) beats and eighth-note
(quaver) offbeats to on-the-beat triplets, with a rest
replacing the third note, as in the piano and string
ostinato in the first movement of the 1945 Symphony;
this transforms the mood from resolution to agitation.
What amazes us, however, is the mileage that
Stravinsky gets out of this fragment in its development,
repeating it in different octaves, progressively slower
tempos, and longer note-values, until, at the end of the
scene, the bass clarinet plays it slowly beneath six
ascending octave scales in the flute, the first four notes
of which are in Stravinsky's A minor, the last four in
Tchaikovsky's A major, a subtle collaboration indeed.

We are the proud owners of new (safer, eco-safe) pans! Nothing else today has gone according to plan though, mostly in a good way
I ended up only taking a few sips of my Naked juice because the husband picked me up much earlier than expected. It was good because I got to blow that joint, but I had hoped to be forced to do a few more hours of studying. When I offered Adam a sip of my juice he randomly fell in love with it and I let him have it.
After our Target trip we randomly decided to go on a date <3 We had to stop at Wegmans to pick something up so we hit up the salad bar.
Chan Marsala with Naan (YUM!),
roasted veggies and a little bit of tofu.
So good. Whenever we do the salad bar the husband and I always share a diet soda, awwwwww!
Can you guess what we did next?
Bowling! I am so terrible at it but I enjoy it so much. My first game was beyond embarrassing.
But I started to get the hang of it.
And by the 3rd game I beat the husband!
He had a pretty serious thumb injury at that point but I'll take what I can get While we were bowling I munched on this entire "small" (4serving!) bag of buffalo wing pretzels.
I need to basically never pick up a bag that has more servings than I plan on eating at that moment. In general I only eat things that aren't healthy when I choose to, but I have no control with those "small" bags. I did the same thing with a bag of trail mix yesterday
I planned on eating dessert this evening, Maple Pecan Blondies (another recipe), but a mid-way run down the block for flour meant they aren't done yet. I'll probably nibble one before bed and I'll give you a review in the morning.
What foods do you lose control with? What have you done to combat the problem?

NEED HELP! SHould i sell ak for AR?Wasco8, be careful of the S&W. Read around AR15.com and you will see that new ones aren't very consistent, one can be tight fitting and proper, the next loose. If you know what to look for and you love S&W, just keep your eyes out for a good one. They switched forgers from CMT to another company. CMT are the same forge that Colt used to use, and Stag currently uses. They are consistent quality, tight fitting as they should be.

He's on the little rock swat team, is a swat trainer and teaches at the accademy. All of their equipment is provided by the state. Too bad yours isn't, that would make life a lot simpler.

NEED HELP! SHould i sell ak for AR?The folks aren't getting you or what you are asking. I would say ditch the AK and get a good AR for a back-up if you do get in the situation where they take your gun weapon and hold in property / evidence control for however long that may be. I find it weird that ya'll don't shoot a shotgun in your academy but every agency is different. We do not have a patrol rifle program in mine but every unit is equipped with a shotgun. I know money is tight and it sucks to part with weapons to buy another, but like I said ditch the AK get another AR with a decent optic and call it good. Good Luck Brother and congratulations on your third child!

NEED HELP! SHould i sell ak for AR?ok i wasn't clear and assumed that every one works the west side and knows me(sincerly my bad). my issue is I can no longer afford to buy another ar due to the third kid coming with out selling something. I am contemplating the need for a second ar because if I get into a shooting with my long gun i'd loose mine. now i'd be cleared and back on duty with in a couple of weeks but due to the civil side im SOL as far as getting my weapon back for the next year or two and I really dont like the idea of being with out one on patrol for one or two years. i did it already while on probation and it was not a good feeling when the $%!+ hit the fan waiting for swat to show up. A pistol is great and is what i would use on a traffic stop or basic call but we get alot of gang bangers that barrecade them selves some where and i'm usually point man with my ar situation dictating. we run alot of dope warrants and a ak/sks/shotgun or mossin nagant are always invovled. i cant use a shot gun because im ar qualed not shoty qualed and the wait list is a year long and its a "who you know" game. so... should i trade my ak for a 2nd ar yay or nay?
please bare with me im on gt after my 10hr shift so if you have trouble following me its because my head is already done for the day
