Here's a question for all you electromagnetics-focused simulation engineers out there: Have you ever looked in envy at your structural, fluid, and chemical counterparts as they mesh their models with the click of a button, while you struggle to mesh your infinite elements or perfectly matched layers? Well, now you too can enjoy automatic meshing with a click (or two). Let me show you how.Read more ⇢

Importing meshes into COMSOL Multiphysics is often necessary when interfacing between different programs. With COMSOL Multiphysics version 5.0, these meshes can be converted into solid geometry objects for further investigation and modeling capabilities. You can also perform boolean operations on the new geometry for CFD, electromagetics, and acoustics applications.Read more ⇢

Around this time last year, we introduced a new ribbon user interface to COMSOL Multiphysics. Now, with version 5.0, we are introducing many improvements that make COMSOL Multiphysics more intuitive to use. Updates include a change in color scheme, additional multiphysics interfaces, a materials tab, global materials, and Material Sweeps and Function Sweeps.Read more ⇢

After switching to a more environmentally friendly coffee maker, we recently started disposing of our coffee grounds as food waste instead of trash, here at the COMSOL office in Burlington, MA. Figuring out how to do this properly was a project on its own, but an educational one worth sharing. To pull this off, I learned about composting in my area and was intrigued by the science of composting.Read more ⇢

Professional baseball pitchers are able to make a baseball move left, right, down, and even up (sort of) to get it by the opposing batter. The physics behind this can be explained by the Magnus effect.Read more ⇢

I really don't understand why Google didn't add a feature that lets you upload a bookmarks file exported by your browser to Google Bookmarks. Google still recommends to install Google Toolbar in Internet Explorer or Firefox to upload bookmarks, but this shouldn't be necessary. That's like installing Picasa to upload your photos to Picasa Web Albums.
Fortunately, Mihai Parparita built a tool for exporting your Delicious bookmarks to Google Bookmarks and it can be used to upload any bookmarks file to Google Bookmarks. Here's how to do that:
1. Go to delicious.com and sign in. If you haven't used Delicious before, you'll sign in using a Yahoo account. If you've previously bookmarked web pages using Delicious, it's probably a good idea to create a new account.
2. Unlike Google Bookmarks, Delicious has a bookmark importing feature. Upload the HTML file exported by your browser and wait until all your bookmarks are imported.
3. Use Delicious to Google Bookmarks to import your bookmarks to Google Bookmarks. You'll end up with two new labels added by the importing/exporting tools: imported and delicious-export.
The nice thing about Mihai Parparita's tool is that it's open source and it can be modified to import HTML bookmarks file.

There is no doubt about it, its been a very warm summer so far.
The high temperatures can sometimes put a bit of a damper on the fishing season. Though it doesnt seemed to have slowed things down too much.
Early morning and later evenings when its a little cooler may be your best bet for now.
Not surprisingly the couple hours north or south of tide change seem to be producing some good results with both the Flounder and the Redfish.
Offshore weve seen plenty more Dolphin and Wahoo and even more Billfish out of Georgetown. It is still looking good out there.
Georgetown Landing and Marina (843-546-1776) has had some decent action lately.
June 28 saw the Blue Sky, Nauti Girl, Critter Gitter and Skip Jack take to the water despite some less then ideal conditions. They braved the elements to produce 14 Dolphin, 3 Wahoo, 1 Tuna and Nauti Girl released a Sailfish. Yet another Billfish out of Georgetown.
Perrys Bait and Tackle (651-2895) is reporting that the Flounder bite is still solid out of the creeks with the fish continuing to really tear up live bait.
As mentioned before tide change is definitely the time to be out on the water.
Redfish are being a little less picky than the Flounder lately. Theyve been biting on Sand Fleas, Blue Crab chunks, shrimp and different Mullet and minnows.
As usual, they can be found both in the deep holes in the creeks and out in force at the jetties.
They also tend to frequent oyster beds and take shelter in tall grass or near structures.
Blues and Spanish are still hitting hard from the shore, the piers and also offshore.
Quite a few of the Spanish being caught are keepers. Whiting are biting well at all the piers and out of the surf as well.
Black Drum are still showing up in decent numbers in the creeks. They are also showing up near the sea wall and especially by the jetties.
Theyve mostly been biting on fiddler crabs shrimp and other live baits to this point. They are also showing up at most piers including Garden City.
Catch-1 Sport Fishing Charters reports that theyve really been killing it with the Red Drum lately, seeing some really nice catches from most charters.
Garden City Pier (843-651-9700) had another good week with some keeper-sized Flounder and some nice Black Drum. Spots are still biting.
Some nice Whiting, Perch and Blues are still being caught.
The Spanish are showing up from the end of the pier. The usual small sharks, skates and rays are still abundant.
Sheepshead are a constant presence around the jetties and biting around any kind of artificial structure. They seem to like fiddler crabs or shrimp a lot.
They are also showing up offshore at the 10 Mile Reef and the Pawleys Island Reef.
Good luck out there!

One local team was eliminated Monday but another lived to fight another day.
The 2013 South Carolina Dixie Youth Baseball AAA Minors (age 9-10) All-star Tournament opened Saturday at Wescott Park. Twelve teams from across the state are vying for a state championship and the honor of advancing to represent South Carolina in the Minors World Series to be held Aug. 3-8 in Laurel, Miss.
Opening day of the state tournament brought some memorable moments for players and fans alike.
Prior to the North Charleston All-stars' first game officials paid homage to Gary McJunkin, one of the founders of South Carolina Dixie Youth Baseball. His grandson, Daniel, threw out the ceremonial first pitch and his son, Danny, caught the pitch.
The Parks Field American all-stars got out to a 2-1 start in the tournament. The Summerville team defeated Six-Mile 12-1 Saturday and won a game with Abbeville Sunday. But after winning eight straight games since the opening of the all-star season, Parks American was shutout by Midland Monday.
The tournament is double elimination so Parks American will have to win all of its remaining games in order to claim a state championship.
The North Charleston all-stars opened the tournament with a loss to Lancaster American. On Monday, the team battled in an effort to remain in the tournament but was eliminated with an 8-4 loss to Abbeville in extra innings.
At the end of play Monday Midland and Hartsville Northern were the only undefeated teams in the tournament. Other teams participating are Lake Marion, Orangeburg, Beaufort East, Delmae and Conway.
The tournament continues with games scheduled for 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. July 23 and July 24 and the finals scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. July 25.

3 Reasons to Book F1 Hospitality PackagesThursday, May 28, 2015
Formula One racing has been around for just over 40 years now, and an exciting few decades it has been. These races take place in locations throughout the world, but they're not open to just any driver who wants to race. Only the best drivers make it to the F1 events, the drivers that can handle the speed, the endurance and the skill needed to tend to these tedious races.
Being a part of one of these races is a dream come true for any hardcore race fan. In fact, there are many celebrities who attend that, if you are there, you could be enjoying the races alongside. There is no better way to make your racing dreams come true than with one of the great F1 hospitality packages available.
A Look at F1 Packages
F1 packages make it simple to book your race day events with ease. The packages include all that you need to make your trip, whether you want to see the races in Abu Dhabi or prefer to stay close to home at the races held in Las Vegas.
Why Book F1 Hospitality Packages
There are many reasons for the purchase of an F1 hospitality package. Let's take a look at three of the biggest reasons to make that purchase.
Affordable Savings
It can be very expensive to attend an F1 race if you want the full experience. The cost of tickets alone are far more expensive when purchased outside of a package. Anyone who likes the races will love the savings that come when an F1 package is purchased. Some people report savings on the purchase of a travel package that are as much as 75%!
It is Easy
Booking your package is simple and easy. It can be done online any time of the day or night, and you can spend as little or as long on their comparing and looking as you would like. On another positive note, booking a package is easy because you get things done and over with, and there's no reason to worry that you don't have all that is needed for an unforgettable trip.
You Won't Miss out on a Thing
When you book one of the great packages you can ensure that you are enjoying the F1 reasons as they are meant to be enjoyed. Not only does your package include tickets, accommodations and transportation, there's also lots of other fun and exciting things included, too. For example, have you always wanted to take a walk down the pit lane? If so, this is something that you can do with ease with the package. Wondering what it would be like to show up in a limo? Again, this is another awesome treat that comes to those who book packages.
F1 hospitality packages make it easy for everyone who wants to attend the F1 to do so with complete ease. Do not miss out on all of the benefits offered with them!Category : F1

Rails 2.2.2 is released!
Even Rails 2.2.2 isn't always threadsafe. I found this out by running a script with JRuby from the command line. The script loaded the Rails environment and then launched two threads that simply tried to resolve an ActiveRecord class constant. Fireworks (in the form of LoadError) ensued deep inside of const_missing. I'll post the full example later today.
Tsearch2 is now built into Postgres (as of 8.3). This means you must remove the metadata from your tables, since Postgres now stores it in a separate place.

I find this interesting and mostly attractive, but we should always remember that by far the majority of customers have no problem with skeuomorphism at all. It's no exaggeration to say that only "techies" and tech bloggers in particular are really in favour of it's complete removal.
Remember also that if that particular group was always to be listened to in regards design, pretty much all desktop UI's would look like Linux, Java interfaces would be king on the web and most of the beauty that is HTML 5 would not exist.
When it comes to design, I think I will listen to designers before I take the advice of the average tech-head.
It's self-evident that *some* skeuomorphism is both beautiful, functional, and in fact ... the best way to go.

Deschutes River Recording Reunion: Laura Gibson Recap, Huichica Music Festival & More
Last Friday we had the privilege of watching the powerful and talented Laura Gibson perform at our pub in Bend. Laura's performance was the last stop on our monthly First Friday Art Walk and she helped us kick off the release of our well-loved Twilight Summer Ale. Laura's roots run deep in our own backyard: she spent this past February at Caldera in the mountains of Central Oregon, writing and reflecting on her work. Last summer we traveled with her out to Smith Rock to record the third installment of Deschutes River Recordings, a unique partnership between Northwest musicians and the Deschutes River Conservancy to create songs by the river, for the river. We were thrilled to welcome her back to Bend to perform the latest from her album La Grande (aptly named after a small town in Eastern Oregon).

Tom Serres faced a choice. The 30-year-old CEO of Rally.org Rally.org–a three-year-old fundraising website for nonprofits, political campaigns and other causes–had just raised $3.5 million in Series A financing from some serious Silicon Valley investors: LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman from Greylock Partners, Mike Maples of Floodgate and Lean Startup author Eric Ries. But he needed more dough.
With such endorsement Serres could've raised money in a drawn-out road show that would distract him from Rally for months. Or the crowdfunding evangelist could do something completely unprecedented: "Eat his own dog food" and raise cash–for a multimillion-dollar venture round–from the Internet in one manic flash. By opening the round to investors around the world, Serres theorized, he could capitalize on the attraction of his brand-name investors, set a definite time line and condense the fundraising process into a matter of days.
Dog food it was. On May 15 he broadcast Rally's venture round over AngelList, a social network for startups and investors, and watched as the offers poured in … and kept coming. Over 12 days the single father embarked on a voyage that would have felled a lesser man: fielding nearly 3,000 e-mails; traveling to Texas, Louisiana and Washington, D.C.; and pitching to 70-plus investors, often with his 4-year-old daughter, Madison, in tow. By the end he'd reeled in 18 new backers and put another $4.4 million in the bank–all without a call to social services.
Monday, May 14
Maples, Hoffman and Ries agree to lead Rally's Series A financing with $3.5 million.
Tuesday, May 15
10:11 a.m. PST From Rally's headquarters in San Francisco's SoMa neighborhood, Serres clicks "submit" on an AngelList fundraising page. This action notifies site users the company is seeking investors for its Series A round.
10:12 a.m. The first investor e-mail arrives in Serres' inbox from an Austin-based venture capitalist. Sixty-one more follow in the next hour.
12 p.m. After an anxious, phone-buzzing-filled offsite meeting, Serres is caught off-guard by the influx of interest and tells his assistant, Sam Burkett, to clear appointments for the week and schedule investor meetings.
5:18 p.m. 4-hour Workweek author Tim Ferriss reaches out. Serres responds to the e-mail four minutes later.
7 p.m. A dinner of spaghetti–her favorite–a bath and a bedtime story for Madison.
8:19 p.m. Ferriss phones and asks to see a pitch deck–the PowerPoint presentations founders use to raise cash from investors–ASAP. Serres frantically calls creative director Jeff Castellana to update the company's deck.
10:15 p.m. Ferriss calls back, saying, "This is the most beautiful deck I've ever seen." He commits to invest and asks to reserve space in the round for Kevin Rose, founder of Digg and recent Google Ventures partner.
Wednesday, May 16
1 a.m. Serres falls asleep. E-mail count for the day: roughly 550.
6:30 a.m. Phone call with potential investor Josh Spear, founder of Undercurrent, a consultancy.
10:43 p.m. Five in-person meetings and six investor phone calls later, Serres checks in with Burkett, who later confides, "I would freak out when I had to take a shower in the morning."
Thursday, May 17
5:14 a.m. Vignette Corp. founder Ross Garber commits to invest by texting Serres: "In."
8:34 a.m. Serres and Madison fly out to Austin, Tex. for a panel and meetings with University of Texas officials.
12:31 p.m. CST "I understand you are on a tight schedule to wrap up this funding," e-mails Peter Boboff of Transmedia Capital. "I would not normally act so quickly but I would like to commit."
3 p.m. Babysitter arrives for Madison. Serres heads to UT–where he'd dropped out–to discuss using Rally for alumni fundraising.
8 p.m. Serres comes home to find Madison asleep. He responds to e-mails until past 10.
Friday, May 18
6 a.m. CST Skype call to Beirut with Habib Haddad, an entrepreneur and investor.
8 a.m. While Serres participates in a panel discussion ("Why I Moved My Company to San Francisco"), Madison sits in the front row of the auditorium in Austin's Downtown Hilton, playing on a coloring book app on her iPad.
9:30 a.m. Madison joins Serres for a meeting with Vianovo Ventures at the Java Jive coffee shop in Austin. Her drink of choice: a juice box.
3:22 p.m. Serres' phone dies after a flight from Austin to New Orleans for the college graduation of his fiance's brother.
5:10 p.m. Walking down Bourbon Street, Serres (with newly charged phone) pitches to Kevin Rose, who says yes.
6 p.m. Calls to the venture arm of a U.S. corporation, a tech accelerator and John Occhipinti from Relay Ventures (early-stage mobile tech).

The girls, who also beat Warner Robins 3-2 last week, went into spring break with a 10-1 record for the season. They are 6-1 in 2-AAAAA play.
The Jones County boys lost 2-3 to both Warner Robins and Northside to fall to 5-6 overall and 1-6 in the subregion, but Jacob Wills remains undefeated on the season at No. 2 singles for the Greyhounds.
Olivia Lane and Logan Bowden lost for the first time this season at No. 1 doubles for the Lady Hounds last week, falling to Warner Robins 2-3. With their streak snapped, coach Alisha Gordon split the pair for the match against Northside, giving both new partners, and the move paid off with two doubles victories against the Lady Eagles.

I Want to be Happier
ABC helps people grow physically, this thread is aimed to help people grow emotionally.
Martin Seligman likes to tell of when he was gardening one day and his 5-year old daughter Nikki came out to join him. Amidst his furious weedking, his daughter Nikki was off to the side joyously throwing the weeds into the air and dancing around. He yelled at her to stop and she walked away only to return moments later. She asked to talked to him.
"Yes, Nikki."
"Daddy do you remember before my fifth birthday? From three to five I was a whiner, I whined every day. But when I turned five, I decided not to whine anymore. That was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. And if I can stop whining, you can stop being such a grouch [!] (Seligman, 1991).
He goes on to relate how, just like our actions, are emotions and our thoughts (cognitions) are under our control. This thread will rely heavily on that point. It may not be easy, and important things rarely are, but it's possible to learn to control our thoughts and our emotions.
Throughout this thread I want to post, and encourage others to post, any helpful techniques they have used to help bring more lasting happiness and satisfaction into their lives.

"...Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death." -Philippians 1:20
Authentic Happiness
I will start with one:
Positive Journaling
Many people are familiar with the concept of journaling, if not under the impression that journaling is not very masculine. When, in fact, nothing could be further from the truth. What could be more masculine than taking your thoughts and feelings head on? Only strong men and women could have such might (and you all are strong!).
Positive journaling is somewhat different than normal journaling. The first part is the same: take time everyday to sit down and put your thoughts and feelings onto paper. But the second part is what can make journaling a positive part in your life (normal journaling IS possitive in that it helps sort out your thoughts, but journaling can do so much more). After you have listed something, positive journaling asks you to evaluate what you have listed.
If what you have listed is negative - Then think of how you can appraise the situation differently. Are you capturing every point of view, or can you look at this situation differently? I guarantee you that other points of view are there, and I know you can find a positive way to appraise even a dismal situation. Positive journaling asks you to find that positive appraisal of the situation and journal about it.
If what you have listed is neutral or positive - Then think of behavior you can do to further this situation. How can you extent the positive nature of the situation or feeling? Or, how can you turn this neutral situation into a positive one. Just like above, I guarantee that you can find this positive appraisal, and once you do, journal about it.
After your journaling - Resolve to put your words into action! I can't speak more highly of how effective positive BEHAVIOR can have on your mindset. I will post more sources in a bit about how behavior can effect your cognitive state.
Good luck!

Now that I have two young boys, it is even more important to me to remind myself daily to take it slow, because sometimes feelings creep in of "I just wish they would grow out of this stage..." but you know, there will ALWAYS be some new stage, so why rush the current one. Just live life and love it everyday.
James 1:16-17 ESV
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights
With God's help...Mens sana in corpore sano
I like it commander! Thanks for the input! I hope it will continue to come.
My next idea comes from the new literature on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (Hayes, 2007).
As we go through life, we are undoubtedly met with difficult life situations. Maybe we lose a job, lose a loved one, fail a test, fail in an interview. Life is uncanny in it's unrelenting supply of difficult times. The question I pose today is how you view these difficult life situations.
Oftentimes, when something happens to us we are prone to blame ourselves. "Why didn't I study enough?" "I should have spent more time at home." "I should have been a better friend."
But are we always right to accept blame when something happens to us? In any circumstance, there are many possible explanations for a certain outcome. If you fail a test, it may be that you are "not smart" or it could be that your professor didn't prepare you for the test. If you miss a workout, it could be that you "didn't have enough foresight," or if could be that something out of your control came up during the day.
So, when looking at life situations, don't look to yourself as "responsible" but look to yourself as "response-able." When something negative comes up, you are not at fault for the situation, but you are able to respond to the situation.
There is liberation in being able to let go of any possession of life situations in leu of accepting the ability to respond to them.

Great thread!!! i will be honest, i am a mild attention seeker...i sometimes catch myself trying to 'outdo' others...or tell a better story after someone else is done, always trying to be 'in first place so to speak'...i am aware of this...and lately have been working on it..today i found my horoscope in a newspaper and it hit home PERFECT it is now in my pocket, and will be there every day....
"The person who finishes first is not always the winner. There is something valuable to be gained through patience and humility. Quiet, selfless acts build your inner strenght."
I find this an important subject and would like to join the discussion, with a slight twist. Putting this short I believe that negative emotions do not neccecarily need to be all bad but could actually be benefitial, in that they may give rise to questions regarding the purpose of life and may make you search for your creator.
There is absolutely nothing that comes even close to the peace and overwhelming joy you experience when laying down and resting at the feet of your God. Check out Hebrews 4 which speaks of the rest that is available to us through Christ.
Coming to Him in prayer and songs really transforms my state of mind from darkness to light and gives perspective on life. In His mighty presence all issues of my life become highly insignificant. The more I see of Jesus the more I realize how fully dependant I really am on Him, and my heart is overflowing with thankfullness. If you haven´t experienced His grace yet you should search for Him, there is nothing in this world (or in the life that has been given to you) worth holding you back - you have everything to win and nothing to loose!

So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts."

without going to the bible and staying scientific. i think negativity can be channelled into a positive sort of if angry generally testosterone is higher so hitting the weights in a controlled anger could be benificial in getting passed plateu's etc?
"For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

maybe....if not, getting angry, definately puts me into the zone for a GREAT workout..i find going on a run when im mad is a great way to get a good cardio wo as well as increase my mood..i can just get into the zone and workout!
A few months ago my fiance of 3 and a half years left me. This was by far the most painful experience of my life, and in all truth she was all that mattered to me. How am I doing right now? Quite well, really. I think largely she was such a huge part of my life and who I was that having it removed forced me to be another person, on top of the shock of it all. Either way it has still taken a lot of conscious effort to keep myself from spiraling down. The biggest things for me, I think, in this have been the therapeutic effects of working to better myself. This means increased discipline, dedication, health, and aesthetic qualities through body building, mental and intellectual through meditation, spiritual, philosophical, academic, and strategic study, and many other things. Realizing that to make the most of this life and ensuring that I can grab onto every opportunity that I so desire means making myself the best person I can be. I may not have what I want right now, but I am making sure that when it comes along, I will have it.
Secondarily I cannot stand, more than just about anything else, the feeling of regret. "The saddest words of mice and men are 'it may have been' " I don't know if I have that quote accurately stated, but it stands true either way. Knowing that I did not try hard enough, and missed something that I will never have the chance of having again, or doing something that cannot be undone. These are true tragedies. With every action I keep in mind whether this is something that will cause me suffering in the future. Suffering comes from within, only pain is not under our control. I do the best to limit my suffering.
I am fairly happy, despite my loss, because there is still potential in this life. Without life there is no potential, so I continue, optimistically, even though I am not satisfied with what I have now. One source in particular that I found very illuminating and helpful was the book 'The Art of Happiness' by the Dalai Lama. This is a secular look at emotions and suffering, and how we can defeat negative emotions. It is written by an American psychologist with interviews with the Dalai Lama, so is backed by a lot of scientific study and research. I would suggest it to anyone looking to lead a happier life.
Perfection in motion. BS CPT - NPTI NASM

Book reveals gritty truth of fighting crimeWritten by Sanya Ali | | email@example.com
Frank Stiles could have died on May 15, 1967.
A perpetrator at a local convenience store had fury in his eyes and a gun at Stiles' stomach; before the detective could stop him, he pulled the trigger.
"Only the person that experiences those things can really tell the story and understand the feeling of the traumatic experience you go through," Stiles said. "You're not really worried about what's going to happen to you, you're worried about taking care of the job at present."
Stiles lived because of a misfire, what he calls "a miracle." Today, he is chief investigator for the Lucas County Prosecutor's Office and author of two true-crime books. His newest book details cases from his time as a detective for the Toledo Police Department (TPD).
Stiles' near-death experience is the first anecdote shared in "City Soldiers." The book highlights the violence police officers have experienced in Toledo the past few decades.
"I've been very fortunate in my position as far as experience goes," Stiles said. "I handled most of the high-profile cases when I was [with TPD], and at least assisted on others."
Stiles' true-crime novels are 2007's "Evil Brothers," which he followed up with "Blind Trust" in 2010; both detail local crimes he was instrumental in solving. At the prosecutor's office, Stiles works on mainly white-collar cases.
He is a cheerful man with a full head of blond hair who enjoyed a successful 25-year career with TPD. He said he "made thousands of arrests and interrogated thousands of people."
He smiled while discussing his accomplishments, though his blue-gray eyes turned downward while discussing the brutality of some of the crimes he encountered.
Stiles said his goal was to not become hardened as a result of his trying profession.
"You have to tell yourself, when you walk out of that department or wherever you work, that most people are honest, good people," he said. "We're only dealing with very few people in society that are doing these things."
Stiles has a table full of photos in his office. He points to one in particular, of a girl with long brown hair. The girl is Dawn Backes, one of the victims of Anthony and Nathaniel Cook, the serial killers detailed in "Evil Brothers." Stiles arrested Anthony in 1981.
"Her mother gave me that picture," Stiles said. "I said, 'I'll put that with my family pictures,' so I've always had that there."
Backes was 12 years old when she was assaulted and murdered by the Cooks. The photo reminds Stiles of those whose lives were cut short due to violence.
Each chapter of "City Soldiers" follows officers through a night on the force. Stiles didn't work all the cases he wrote about, but his research was extensive. He said he read police reports, spoke to surviving officers and family and looked at old news stories.
The most recent story included in the book is that of Keith Dressel, the detective killed in 2007 during the attempted arrest of a juvenile suspect.
Larraine Dressel, Keith's mother, said though the experience was painful to relive, Stiles wrote in such a way that she was not overwhelmed.
"It was put in a way that I could follow along all of the crimes and understand, because some of the crime scenes are very difficult," Larraine said.
Larraine said Stiles, whom she met last year, struck her as an honest man with good intentions.
"He asked questions and he seemed very caring, he wanted to be thorough," Larraine said. "He told us he was investigating it, checking every fact, so I knew what he said would be the truth."
Diane Miscannon, daughter of slain officer William Miscannon, also met Stiles when he contacted her last April to confirm details for his book. William died on patrol during a Black Panther riot in the 1970s.
"From what I know of Frank and what I've heard of him, he's a pretty sharp guy and I'm very appreciative he included my dad in his book," Diane said.
Diane said she hopes Stiles' book raises awareness and fosters respect for those in uniform.
"The police department and fire department put their lives on the line every day," Diane said. "This is a life-sacrificing job. This is a life-changing job."
Stiles said the lesson in each of his books is that people should be cautious, no matter where they live.
"[These cases] just show anybody during any period of time that they can face those kind of situations," Stiles said. "No area is immune to crime, and in some it's much more prevalent than others."
Stiles said his book should show the true sacrifice TPD officers make each day.
"We want [people] to remember our police officers as we remember our military on Memorial Day," Stiles said. "We never want to forget the price they paid, whether they died, were shot or faced these near-death situations. We're thankful that they did their job."

I am annoyed by the magnet test for ammunition
I am annoyed how at many indoor ranges and shooting events, they want to magnet test your ammunition, on the basis that if it is magnetic, it must contain a steel penetrator core.
That's a load of bull and everyone should know it. The stuff that is usually magnetic would be Wolf ammunition, or old Eastern Block surplus stuff, and that is usually because of a bimetal jacket and steel casing, not because there is a penetrator core. Why would Wolf, Norinco, and Bulgarian surplus be so cheap and so readily available on the market if it were "armor piercing"?
I think it's some weird mad-on people have for Wolf. I figure people who run indoor ranges are just mad because they can't reload your Wolf casings, thus making extra profit in selling reloads on top of your range use fee, and so they say nobody can fire Wolf, or anything else magnetic, on the range.Best Vietnam War music video I've ever seen put together by a vet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDY8raKsdfg

No ****, well color me wrong, I could have sworn you were out in Cali after you got back from the PC.
I've never seen or heard of any of that. Is it like that at every range in your area? Are you close enough to the Front Sight folks to go there? I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have an such BS.

I'll have to check out the Front Sight people. The practice of magnet-checking ammunition happens at an indoor range called American Shooters, which unfortunately is the most convieniently located indoor range for me. (I have a membership at a great outdoor range, but it can get windy in the desert so sometimes I specifically want to shoot in controlled indoor conditions.)
I've read on the internet that at some competitions they magnet check all the ammo, though. I figure I'll have to get in touch with locals organizing events ahead of time to ask them about whether or not they allow magnetic rounds at their events.Best Vietnam War music video I've ever seen put together by a vet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDY8raKsdfg

Maybe I subconsciously thought of putting that brass there as tipping, because the instructor that spent a few minutes teaching me the operation of a 1911 (free of charge) was exceedingly friendly and helpful. I was already feeling tired and a little sick when I arrived, and that guy carried down my basket of rented/purchased range gear, set up a lane for me well away from the one shooter who was already there, stayed with me through my first magazine (which didn't go quickly), got me a speedloader when I had difficulty loading the magazine again, got me a chair when he got back from that, and finally brought me a small walkie-talkie so I could radio if I needed anything else rather than going up the stairs. It probably helped that I referred to myself as a "spastic monkey" almost immediately after arriving at the counter and that he (and the other staff) had seen my gimp walk for at least six feet before I got to the counter from the door.
Sorry to derail with an anecdote, my point is simply that sometimes I don't mind a company having a little extra at my expense.
EDIT: ****, I forgot to mention that this range also bans Wolf ammo. It was almost three years ago when the manager first told me about it; I seem to recall him mentioning the word "steel" in relation to Wolf. For that matter, the range doesn't allow you to use your own ammo anyway, unless it's a remainder from what you bought at the range on a previous visit (and their tape seal on the box isn't broken).

Alot of guys have a huge hard on against wolf ammo. This is not just on ranges either, I have had numerous people in gun stores tell me how bad wolf is. So far it has always been people who who's cheapest ammo was twice the price of the wolf ammo I could get down the street.

Progress on my 9 patch quilt along blocks. Its not going so fast, I think its the fact that there is a deadline, if you'd even call it that. When I have to work on something, I don't. Like cleaning the oven or organizing my food storage, I'm trying to convince myself it will be really fun. Anyways, I have 29 of these done, and realized most of them have yellow in them. I'm going with a red, yellow, green and blue color scheme. Most are retro-ish prints, since that was the initial idea.
And……you know my complaining and whining that there are NO good quilts shops close to me? (as my husband and Mom nod in unison) Well, I'm totally embarrassed to say that I found a totally adorable shop 8 dang miles from me! I've lived here a year and now I'm kicking myself. As my husband said at least I saved A LOT of money not knowing it was there. I bought that bright green fabric because it kind of looks like chicken feet. Kind of. Speaking of chicken feet did you know in Mexico they eat chicken feet, especially in soup. Time for lunch!
