WOLF Reports from Mag-Fed Game – Operation: Honey Badger
Operation: Honey Badger
PRZ Paintball – Ontario Canada
by Andrew "WOLF" Critchlow
On the 21st of July I was lucky enough to attend the Awesome game entitled "Operation Honey Badger 2: The Return of Acinaces Dente" . What makes this paintball event special is that its a Magazine fed/Tac Cap ONLY game, which means you're only allowed a limited amount of paintballs on the field.
Adam Collyer and his son Brandon were the creators of this Great event, and I thank them for such an Eye opening experience. As the Owner of a DYE DAM this was a dream come true, the opportunity to shoot with some of the Best paintballs around, using just magazines. 200 of some of the most tactical players I have encountered amassed at PRZ paintball, a massive indoor/outdoor facility that is an abandoned Hospital transformed into a Paintball dream, numerous 2 and 3 storied buildings, utilized for the most extreme sport.
A Mag fed game means you have to choose each and every shot, no spraying and praying, no painting targets trying to get a lucky hit. There were 3 snipers allowed on the rooftops using First strike rounds, Tactical lights for the dark hallway battles, and laser sights for spotting the enemy.
The game was a tactical dream, radios were used to coordinate attacks, and accomplish missions, smoke grenades were allowed outside to cover shooters from sniper fire, and a lot of amazing props were used to enhance the atmosphere, Missiles, Radar stations, and bio weapons made for an Epic experience.
I had the Honor to meet many players, and giveaway some cool DYE Gear, and I can't wait to do it again Next Year!!!

Daily tip: Scrolling on iPhone and iPad
Just get an iPhone or iPad and curious how to better scroll your way around apps like the Safari web browser? Apple has built a whole lotta multitouch goodness into iOS to help you out, and let's face it the faster and more accurately you can scroll, the better.
Thanks to SockRolid from TiPb's iPhone Forums, we'll show you a few quick tips to get you started... after the break.
Go to the top of a page
If you've flicked your way down a web page (or any long page), don't bother flicking to get back to the top. Just tap the status bar and you'll be instantly transported to the top of the page.
Unfortunately there's no "scroll to the bottom" shortcut, but scroll to the top works in almost all iPhone and iPad apps so consider that a bonus tip!
Tap to stop scrolling
If you've flicked madly and inertia has zoomed past what you wanted to see, you can tap the screen anywhere to instantly stop the scrolling. And tapping to to stop scrolling won't bring up the keyboard.
Scroll free or scroll constrained
If you start moving a page around diagonally you'll be able to keep moving it any which way you like -- up, down, left, right or any angle you please. If you start scrolling straight up or down, iOS will lock vertically so you can only keep scrolling up or down. This is handy for long text pages where you want to keep what you're reading in the frame.
Jump through the alphabet in Contacts
You can use this tip with Contacts any app that has the alphabet in a column on the right (the "index" as Apple calls it). Tap a letter in the index to jump right to the items whose names start with that letter. Or drag your finger to rapidly scroll through the alphabet.
We've found that lifting your finger occasionally causes the list to jump to the previous or next letter in the alphabet. If this happens to you, you might try sliding your finger off-screen to the right instead of lifting it up.
Scroll inside a form field
Some web pages, especially content management systems, have form fields with tons of text in them. Using one finger you can only move the whole page around, which makes it impossible to get to any off-screen text. However, if you place two fingers on the text in the form field, you can scroll that text instead of the whole page. Check the video up top to see how it's done.
Tips of the day will range from beginner-level 101 to advanced-level ninjary. If you already know this tip, keep the link handy as a quick way to help a friend. If you have a tip of your own you'd like to suggest, add them to the comments or send them in to email@example.com. (If it's especially awesome and previously unknown to us, we'll even give ya a reward…)

Daily tip: Scrolling on iPhone and iPad
When I first saw this post I thought "Really?" ... However I learned a couple things, great post!
I've never had much luck with the alphabet list on the right side of Contacts. I suppose it can get you close, and would be a bit of a time saver if you have a lot of contacts, but you always have to scroll afterwards anyway. Also, if you slide off the side or move your finger at all when you lift up, it can be very confusing. I never use it myself. Search would probably be faster and more accurate if you have a lot of contacts.
Oh, and just the clarify the two-finger tip, you have to drag two fingers inside the text box, not just anywhere on the page. In Rene's video, the text box pretty much fills the screen, but some text boxes are ridiculously short and on the iPad you might have a lot of other parts of the page visible.
omg thank god I actually finished watching that video! I almost quit, because the first half was "duh!". Glad I stuck it out.
Great tip on the 2 finger scroll. I've had all 4 iPhones and an iPad and I didn't know that.
One tip I didnt see that I use all the time is, when you are text messaging and want to scroll back up a few lines to read something then scroll back down reading as you go. You can start with your fingers in the message field and scroll all the way down right over the keyboard without activating the letters. As long as you start scrolling in the message field and dont lift. I laugh at people trying to scroll down and not touch the keyboard when the keyboard gets locked out when you scroll. Once you touch the text you can scroll in both directions not affecting the keys until you lift.
Very nice tip.
Thanks so much.
The main reason I knew about the two-finger scroll was because a friend bought a MacBook Pro and loved showing me all the cool gestures. I immediately forgot them after he showed me, but the first time I couldn't scroll within a text box, I remembered just enough to give it a shot. Bingo.
I hope you enjoyed my story.
Are there any tips on how to better finely navigate text in iOS? Say I'm typing an e-mail, see an error in a previous paragraph. Currently, I tap to get up there, get nowhere near it because of my fat fingers. Then tap and hold and wait and wait and wait, to get the magnifying glass, then I scroll and let go and miss my spot, then I yeesh... Where's the arrow keys at anyways?
Great video tips! Just goes to show you. No matter how much we know-it-alls think we know, there will always be opportunities for us to learn something new. We must always have an open mind. Never be too quick to judge videos like this with a "duh". I never knew about the two-finger scroll within a text box and I've had an iPhone since the original.
jakubw obviously know how to scroll, but seems to be needing a tip explaining the "Caps Lock" key.
Add me to the list that didn't know about two-finger scroll in text boxes... Handy tip, thanks a bunch!
Sure beats my prior "workaround to a problem that apparently isn't even a problem" method:
tap & hold in text box > select all > copy > close Safari > open notes app > paste in notes > edit text > select all > copy > close notes app > open Safari > tap & hold in text box > select all > paste".
FLskydiver. Lol. I was not that bad. But I would tap and hold and wait for the mag glass to appear and then you could move up and down with the mag glass and it would scroll the text box. That's how used to do it.
Force quit an app by holding the power button until it says slide to power off. Release the power button and press the home button for a few seconds. That will close a stuck app like safari, a game or whatever.
I use StubHub quite often to buy event tickets and it was frustrating to not be able to view and scroll the entire seat page window on iPad. From this post I hear about Two Finger Scroll, low and behold........WTF? I have had iPhones since Gen1 and now iPad, and never knew about this.....thx Rene.
Now I can go focus on my music. One Love!
As post said above. There's no "scroll to the bottom" shortcut. But we still can simulate scroll to the bottom by combining "javacript" & "bookmark".
- copy javascript code below
- add bookmark. You can name "Scroll to end", "Jump to end" etc.
- edit bookmark and paste javascript code. If you have many bookmarks, you should move this bookmark to the obvious positoin. You may spend more time to find this bookmark to jump to end more than scoll by youself if you can't find it immediately.
- Done.
javascirpt code is too long.
Thank you for form scrolling and how to get to top of page. Bugging me for months.
Thanks for the form field trick! Ive been trying to find this for ages!
Ty! Saved me a lot of frustration!

Malicious but deliciousApril 24,2013For your personal health, you should probably eat more vegetables.
But for the future of civilization as we know it?
More pork. Feral hogs, to be exact.
Theyre multiplying like mad like rabbits with hooves, tusks and an epic sense of entitlement especially in Texas, where an estimated 2.6 million of them routinely desecrate farmland by rooting up crops, decimate reptile populations by snacking on them, devour feed meant for livestock and probably do some other pernicious thing beginning in de- that wont come to me right now.
Destroy enclosures! Thats it! Feral hogs have been known to chew and stomp their way into suburban yards and even onto Army bases, said Richard Heilbrun, a biologist with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. And when you have a military installation with a fence problem, he told me, you have a national security problem.
You also have an excellent reason to turn these hammy hellions into dinner.
Thats what the chef Ned Elliott was up to when I dropped by his Austin restaurant, Foreign & Domestic, on Friday. He and several other cooks were using deboned flesh from two feral hogs for porchetta, the beloved Italian roasted pork dish. They planned to serve it, along with giant Asian tiger prawns and Himalayan blackberries, at a special feast at the restaurant staged in cooperation with the Texas chapter of the Nature Conservancy.
The event had a saucy sobriquet, Malicious but Delicious, and a serious mission: to raise peoples awareness of, and ideally whet their appetites for, the bullies of the ecosystem, more formally known as invasive species, invasives for short. In certain areas of the United States, the hogs, the prawns and the blackberries qualify.
Theyre aggressive, Elliott told me, providing a tidy case for their digestion.
All you principled environmentalists out there, youre being lax. Your recycling is admirable and your farmers market patronage appreciated, but theres a whole class of animals, fish and plants that are throwing the earth out of balance, and its time you turned not just your attention but also your bicuspids and incisors toward them.
They arent evil in and of themselves. They just dont play so well with others, and proliferate ostentatiously. Many arent even meant to be part of the habitats they now maraud across, but thanks to human meddling, they ended up there, then got bossy about it.
Its as if you came home from work and a bunch of people had moved into your house, said Laura Huffman, the Texas director of the Nature Conservancy. Maybe theyre nice enough, but theyre still eating all your food and sitting on your furniture, and thats going to disrupt the way your family lives.
She was referring not only to hogs and tiger prawns but also to European green crabs, now common in Maine, where they prey on unsuspecting scallops.
Also Asian carp, the thuggish mobsters of the Mississippi, though maybe not for long. Theres been talk of rebranding them as Kentucky tuna.
Edible invasives are cataloged on a website aptly titled Eat the Invaders. It reflects a slowly growing awareness of the problem and a fledgling effort by ecologically minded chefs to address it.
In New York not long ago, the chef Kerry Heffernan prepared Asian carp and lionfish, which pose a ferocious threat from the Caribbean to the Carolinas, for a dinner at the James Beard House. At Miyas Sushi in New Haven, Bun Lai regularly promotes such invasives as Asian shore crabs and burdock, a plant whose root is a delicacy in Japan.
He said he paid $20.99 a pound for fillets of lionfish, which are absurdly plentiful in the nearby Caribbean, but $17.99 for tuna flown all the way from Hawaii.
Feral hog meat, used at Haven for a wild boar chili, is less exorbitant and more available, partly in response to a piggy population explosion sometimes called the pig bomb. Across dozens of states, there are about 5 million feral hogs, descendants of imports from Europe, and Heilbrun said that the fecundity of females, which give birth more than once a year, is the stuff of legend.
The old joke is that their average litter size is six, but 10 survive, he told me.
While Texans have accelerated their killing of hogs to about 30 percent of the population annually, that still allows for a doubling of the population over a five-year period. And that underscores the strange blind spots in the ways of us conscientious omnivores, who congratulate ourselves on foraging and on nose-to-tail eating while failing to chow down adequately on an entire breed just begging to be bacon.

My first order had red berries and when I ordered a second time I did not get the branches with the berries but it did have the lights
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- It Worked As Promised
- The Quality Looks Good
- It Needs A Dimmer
- Light Is A Little Pinkish
Best Uses
The branches brightened up a dark area in my home for holiday decorating. I'd read the review concerns about the short battery life and malfunctioning but I didn't have that experience. I plan to try them outdoors in the summer for fun lighting when dining/entertaining on the deck.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Brighten Any Dark Corner
Best Uses
- In A Large Vase
This battery-powered branch light is very easy to use. It's best feature is the timer. If you put the batteries in at 5:00 and turn it to T for timer, it will come on at the same time every day, for five or six hours (I forget which.) Very nice for areas where you don't have an outlet for regular Christmas lights. And this isn't so "Christmassy" that you couldn't use it year-round.
- Pretty
- Pink
Best Uses
We have these in a vase and got them for our front hall for Christmas decorations. However, the light they give off is definitely pink, and not exactly what we expected. We have them in our bedroom now. I'm still glad to have them, but disappointed in the color of the light.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Great Arrangement Length

Love the timer function on these branches and they look great mixed with Christmas foliage. Arrangement takes care of itself!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
I used this as a decoration. It lit up fine the first time, but quickly the lights went out. I changed the batteries, but that did not help. I called and got a replacement but the same thing happened. I sent them back and did not seek to get them replaced, just a refund. They look very nice but something is wrong with how they are made.
- Was this a gift?:

- A Little Light At Night
I have used this product with other flowers. Brightens up a corner in my living room. I love the timer. However, the batteries only lasted about 1 week.

I have these lights in a tall harvest basket with some Chinese Lanterns. They offer a natural look and soft lighting. Love the timer aspect, but wish they had a power cord also.

Women's Basketball Season Recap
- Release Date:
- March 6, 2013
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
2012-13 Season Review: Don't let records fool you. The 2012-13 women's basketball team was more competitive and they became "the program" opposing teams did not want to face late in the season. With a split roster of six returners and five first-year players, Rob Peterson and his coaching staff filled holes in the off-season which resulted in the team's ability to challenge for longer periods of time more often in games late in the season.
Amber Grosch, the program's lone senior, left her mark on the program as a four-year player who battled in the paint and gave it her all with every possession. The Hawks increased their offensive production by seven points per game and gone were the days of 20-point losses. Hilbert grabbed 3 wins (while five additional games were decided by 10-points or less) out of the 25 game slate.
Hilbert opened the first month of the season at 2-4 overall, with an over-time loss in the mix. They hit the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference portion of their schedule in the beginning of December and claimed an AMCC victory over Penn State Altoona after three league losses. The Hawks closed 2012 out with two non-conference losses and held a 3-8 tallie before the holiday. After a two-week break, Hilbert got back to work in early January and forged through 14 AMCC losses.
For the second year in a row, Hilbert raised their points per game average. With a deeper bench, the royal and white averaged 52 points per game, and improved their field goal shooting percentage. The Hawks added 77 additional assists and 23 blocks from one season ago.
Junior Natalie Whitman started all 25 games and led the Hawks in minutes per game (32.4), scoring (340), rebounding (220) while proving to be the most consistent shooter from the floor (.415) and foul line (.699). For her efforts, the junior was named to the AMCC All-Conference Third Team after averaging 13.6 ppg, 8.8 rpg and earned 10 double-doubles her first full year for Hilbert.
Sophomores, Jenah Labuski and Sarah Lorusso were solid contributors to the Hawks this season. Labuski led the squad with 22 blocks and chipped in 7 ppg , 4.3 rpg and also earned one double-double against Mount Aloysius in January. Lorusso again served as the team's quarterback and found ways to penetrate middle and hang for scores. She led the team with 87 assists and 50 steals while averaging 7.4 ppg and 4.5 rpg.
Grosch came on strong at the end of the season averaging 24-minutes a game in February. Against Pitt-Greensburg Grosch scored a season-high 9 points and in November, she pulled down a season-high 8 boards against D'Youville.
Sophomore Kateland Ball didn't back down from any challenge this year and averaged 19 minutes a game and dished for second-best 42 assists. Freshman Courtney Coots earned 15 starts and was credited with the team's second most steals (24) in 20 minutes of playing time. She contributed 6.2 ppg and 3.6 rpg and was the Hawks' most consistent 3-point shooter (.340).
Sophomores Jenna Crans, Tiara Thomas along with first-years Lauren Eggleston, Wyann Jackson and Erin Smith gave quality minutes when their number was called. Thomas mixed-it up inside and fought for rebounding position while Crans took care of business on the perimeter running the offense. Eggleston handled the ball and improved on her passing as the season progressed while Jackson hovered around the 3-point line looking for the good shot. Smith earned 15 offensive boards and learned to use her body for inside position.
Coach Peterson and his staff will continue to bring in exceptional student-athletes who can balance the athletic and academic demands of a two semester-athlete at Hilbert College. The program will continue to push towards the AMCC Championships and strive for excellence.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

The Medical University of South Carolina has been designated a "Baby-Friendly" birthing facility by Baby-Friendly USA. Currently only three percent of hospitals in the country are designated Baby-Friendly.
MUSC is one of three hospitals in South Carolina to earn this status, and the second hospital in the greater Charleston Area to achieve this designation.
The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative is a global program sponsored by the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). The initiative encourages and recognizes hospitals and birthing centers that offer an optimal level of care for breastfeeding mothers and their babies.
"We are very proud to be the first academic medical center in South Carolina to achieve Baby-Friendly designation," said Karen Driggers, nurse manager and team leader for Best Fed Beginnings Mother Baby Unit/Level 1 Nursery. "This is a huge win for all the mothers and babies cared for at MUSC. The hard work and dedication of every nurse, physician and support staff who all wanted the right thing for our patients made it possible.
"We hope that other hospitals in South Carolina will follow this path and that the physicians and nurses we train will carry this practice wherever they go."
Based on the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding, this award recognizes birth facilities that offer breastfeeding mothers the information, confidence and skills needed to successfully initiate and continue breastfeeding their babies.
MUSC is also the first of 89 hospitals nationwide that is part of the Best Fed Beginnings Collaborative to be designated as Baby-Friendly. Best Fed Beginnings is a first-of-its-kind, nationwide quality improvement initiative to help hospitals improve maternity care and increase the number of "Baby-Friendly"-designated hospitals in the United States.
Baby-Friendly USA is the accrediting body for the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative in the United States. Go to http://www.babyfriendlyusa.org/get-started/the-guidelines-evaluation-criteria for more information on guidelines and evaluation criteria.

At 6:03 this morning, I got a text from one of my older brothers. "Call me." That cold hand clenching your heart when you know something is very wrong, but not what, is just about the worst feeling in the world, isn't it? I called. "Hey, how you doing?" I asked. Not so well, as it turns out. His wife--my sister-in-law, his life partner for 30 years, the mother of their three children--has advanced breast cancer. Apparently she's had it for a while. So far there is no prognosis, not even a treatment plan. I cannot talk to my niece (she of the cupcake wedding) today because they aren't planning to tell her until they know more, and I'm not sure I would hide it well.
Ladies. Mothers. Grandmothers. Aunts. My sisters. Please, please, please do those monthly self exams. Get the mammograms. Go to the doctor right away even if you think it's just a cyst. Please. I know it's scary, and I know you are busy. But breast cancer is treatable, SO treatable. And you are SO important.

freddie ......you are wabisabi.

"Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, asperity, simplicity, modesty, intimacy, and suggest a natural process."
Sounds perfect to me.

also, beautiful sorrow, melancholy longing.

According to Leonard Koren, wabi-sabi is the most conspicuous and characteristic feature of what we think of as traditional Japanese beauty and it "occupies roughly the same position in the Japanese pantheon of aesthetic values as do the Greek ideals of beauty and perfection in the West." Andrew Juniper claims, "if an object or expression can bring about, within us, a sense of serene melancholy and a spiritual longing, then that object could be said to be wabi sabi."

Did you see the Dog?

I've never seen Black Dog, though I get up there a couple times a year. Kind of relieved, I'd be freaked out if I saw him.

The Vampire Diaries
Top 12 Damon Snarks From The Vampire Diaries, Season 4, Episode 12, "A View to a Kill"
Damon Salvatore is the snark king of Mystic Falls. Sure, he mumbles and has a tendency to smirk. But oh — the things that come out of his mouth. So what witticisms did prime time's finest bloodsucker drop this week? Here are Damon's best zingers from "A View to a Kill."
12. Wise move
Damon (to Klaus): I figured it was probably smarter to sit in her and chit chat with you rather than try and bust out of here like the Hulk.
11. The one thing he couldn't wait to tell
Damon (about Rebekah): Let me guess: She pledged her allegiance to you while you were naked in the sack.
Stefan: I bet you were just dying to get that out, weren't you, Damon.
Damon: Oh, was that supposed to be a secret?
10. Jer's a "tat's half-full" kind of guy
Damon (to Jeremy): Where's that Gilbert optimism?
9. Damon's little wack book
Damon (to Stefan): Well, well. Looks like my brother ripped out a page from my revenge sex handbook.
8. D acts like it doesn't bother him. But it does.
Damon (to Stefan): Silent treatment, huh? Is that your best shot?
7. Kids these days…
Damon: Do you know how hard it is to get these XBox brains to focus?
6. The reason that Elena cares
Damon (to Klaus): Some people are just more capable of forgiveness than others. I bet you'd score about a negative 500 in that realm.
5. Villain bonding
Klaus (about Elena): What is it you say to her?
Damon: I think this about a certain blond vampire. I think you murdered Carol Lockwood, and I think you're worried Caroline's never gonna forgive you.
Klaus: You've done worse
Damon: Debatable.
4. A bloodsucker's logic
Damon: I don't mind being the bad guy because someone has to fulfill that role and get things done. You do bad things for no reason. You do them to be a dick!
3. To know Damon is to love Damon
Damon (to Klaus, about Elena): She's met me. She knows impulse control is not my strong suit.
2. Famous last words
Damon: Here we go.
1. A purpose-driven life
Damon: If you going to be bad, be bad with purpose. Otherwise you're not worth forgiving.
