Official Iditarod Photographer Jeff Schultz will be signing his new book, Chasing Dogs – My Adventures as the Official Photographer Alaska's Iditarod at Stewart's Photo Shop 531 W 4th Ave, Anchorage on Sunday August 3 from 10 am to 2 pm.
Chasing Dogs offers a rare backstage tour of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race® at the invitation of Alaskan photographer Jeff Schultz. Since 1982, Schultz has served as Iditarod's official photographer, traveling by plane, snowmachine, snowshoes, and on foot to capture the race as no one else has. His images of the amazing dogs, adventurous people, and magnificent landscapes will stay with you long after you close the book. Over the course of his thirty-plus-year career, Schultz has become as iconic as the race itself, having experienced the same harsh trail conditions and weather hazards as the race participants while artfully chronicling their journeys. In Chasing Dogs, Schultz's stories and photos illuminate what it takes to prepare for and execute the Last Great Race on Earth®, from the race administrators and judges, to the mushers, volunteers, villagers, thousands of fans . . . and the dogs that they all love. You'll read about Jeff's fortuitous meeting with the founder of the race, how that meeting changed Jeff's life forever, and nearly cost him his life during one race.

"The Future of Global Education"
Difficult Dialogues Spring 2013 Public Forum
Posted: February 6, 2013
Nancy Abelmann, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Richard Handler, University of Virginia.
February 13, 2013
Santa Rita Suite
Texas Union, 3.502
Panel presentation followed by small group discussion.
This event is free and open to the public.
This event is presented by:
The Humanities Institute,
Center for East Asian Studies,
The Holloway Centennial Lectureship,
and the POSCO Korean Studies Endowment
This panel addresses the complex relationships that arise when educational aspirations and opportunities move into the global context. It features two university administrators involved in developing global initiatives on their campuses. Nancy Abelmann will explore the motivations and experiences of families and children participating in "an educational exodus" taking them from South Korea to the United States. Richard Handler, looking the other direction, will consider the tensions between disciplinary scholarship and U.S. students' attraction to interdisciplinary studies, such as global development. He will examine student assumptions about development and about the interdisciplinary knowledge they think they need to understand it; outline a critical pedagogy to respond to student ideas about development; and sketch the cultural assumptions and bureaucratic structures that work to marginalize interdisciplinary programs. The presentations will be followed by discussion, in which students will be asked to share their own perspectives on global education.

Release Date:
March 15, 2005
Better Than Ezra were one of a handful of bands that were caught between the chasm of legit post-Nirvana alt-rock and the legions of commercially minded post-grungers of the mid-'90s. Truth be told, they never seemed to fully belong to the indie-bred aesthetic of '90s alt-rock, not even in the way that the Gin Blossoms were a clear outgrowth of jangle pop -- they were just a guitar rock band who rode the post-grunge wave to the top of the modern rock charts in 1995 with "Good," and then had several other radio and MTV hits over the next five years, highlighted by "King of New Orleans," "In the Blood," "Rosealia," and "Desperately Wanting." One thing Ezra shared with most '90s bands was their keen sense of earnestness -- they really meant it, man, and that po-faced sincerity meant that their music could sometime seem generic, something that Elektra/Rhino's 2005 career overview, Greatest Hits, confirms. Apart from the aforementioned singles -- all available here in their radio-ready single versions, thankfully, which includes a handful of single remixes -- they didn't really craft memorable hooks, and whenever they did, their hooks were ingratiating, not immediate. So, even the band's biggest hits -- and all the charting hits are here, along with key album tracks, two rare mixes, and an unreleased cover of James' "Laid" -- are tunes that gradually work their way into memory instead of asserting themselves upon the first spin, a problem compounded by their sonic similarity. In the fine track-by-track liner notes in Greatest Hits, singer/songwriter/guitarist Kevin Griffin notes that "Misunderstood" is "yet another song with G, D, E minor, C" chords, and while his self-depreciating humor is refreshing on paper, the songs fall victim to sounding too samey -- they may not all have the same exact chord progression (although many do, including their biggest and best song, "Good"), but they are all cut from the same cloth, and it makes listening to 16 tracks from their five albums a little much for anybody who isn't already a fan; this is a time that an old-fashioned eight-to-ten-track Greatest Hits would have been welcome. That said, even if Better Than Ezra's music is rarely gripping, the band is likeable -- partially due to that sincerity that also sinks them -- which may be enough for those looking for a trip back to the late '90s, since this Greatest Hits does capture the rather rudderless sound of the post-grunge modern rock of that era quite well.

Americana band Driftwood returns to N.C.
If you go see Americana band Driftwood band perform tonight at Motorco Music Hall in Durham, be appreciative of what they braved to be here: a snowstorm. The Binghamton, N.Y.-based band began their tour last week in the Adirondacks, and then drove on to Pittsburgh in a 15-passenger van through snow that turned a nine-hour drive into an 18-hour one. But still, they made it in time for the show. The band tours frequently and has performed in the Triangle before, in particular three attention-getting performances at the Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival.
Fiddle player Claire Byrne joined the band five years ago because of a tour. She was touring with the folk duo Nate and Kate, who were mutual friends of pre-Byrne Driftwood, and got a ride with Driftwood.
"We think it was a band blind date," she said by phone this week on the road in Baltimore, Md. "We hit it off right away, played on stage right away. They asked me to join and I was really excited," Byrne said.
Byrne is classically trained on the violin. In college, she became frustrated with the rigorous classical education of "black and white, yes and no, rigid education. That's what classical music is, and is open to interpretation, but only the tip of the iceberg," she said. She started getting into fiddle music in part because of her Irish heritage and spent time jamming to a different style. Driftwood is an Americana band with, as its most recent album title shows, "A Rock & Roll Heart."
Byrne has meshed her classical background with the band's sound. She didn't struggle much with the switchover, she said. It was letting go of the rules she knew, "but if you just dive in and immerse yourself in fiddle music, it comes naturally."
The violin/fiddle player enjoys having a classical background. She teaches, and it's important for students to know their scales and have that foundation, she said, then they can throw them out the window. Sometimes Byrne misses playing with an orchestra, but playing with the band is a different kind of musical freedom.
"Sometimes you get these magical moments, and we look at each other like 'Did that just happen?'" she said of performing on stage.
Fellow band members Joe Kollar (banjo, vocal, drums, organ, guitar) and Dan Forsyth (guitar, vocals) are the primary writers for Driftwood. Jon Doll plays upright bass. Kollar and Forsyth bring a song to the group and they'll all discuss it, work out the kinks and add parts, Byrne said. "Everybody puts their two cents in," she said.
The Motorco show will include a lot of songs from "A Rock & Roll Heart" as well as a lot of new stuff. Driftwood is working on a new album. "Americana" is a broad musical description, Byrne said. There's some folks, rock and roll and indie aspects to Driftwood.
"The show is kind of all over the map," she said.

The LA (Logan Area) remains at the heart of the Mountain State's bow-hunting only quad of famous trophy deer counties. It along with its equally famous accompanying contiguous members of Mingo, Wyoming and McDowell comprise the Fearsome Foursome of a big buck kind.
They draw in modern day Robin Hood's from far and away in quest of West Virginia's biggest bucks from a herd unfettered from the roar of modern rifles.
However, the LA's biggest fans are perhaps its major local contingent of bow-benders that have grown up knowing nothing but archery methods and have come to like it just the way it is. Having been closed to gun deer hunting since the late 1970s, this generation is now introducing the next one to the very same tradition.
In testament, just last year, fully 39 (56 percent) of the 69 registered typical bow class Big Buck Contest entries came from these four counties alone! To put that in perspective, this four-county trophy zone comprises just seven percent of the state's 55 counties. Doing the math, there are eight times as many big bow bucks bagged here on average as any other four county combo!
Still not convinced, four of the top five bow bucks of all time have also been taken from the "gunless four."
The 1998 Logan County buck taken by Mark Lester ranks as the all-time number one of the typical archery class. Yet another Logan County bruiser taken by Terry McGrady in 1997 is the fifth highest scoring of all time. And you guessed it; it was number four until topped out just last year by David Miller's big buck taken along the Logan and Mingo county line!
Miller's buck also topped the 2011 year charts as the best buck of that campaign.
The bow-hunters themselves deserve a lot of the management credit for maintaining the unique resource.
Just how do they do it?
Most save their one and only lawful bow buck tag for the big boys. They simply refrain from shooting smaller spike, fork-horn or even six or eight-point bucks that don't measure up to the minimum Big Buck Contest entry score of 125 on the Pope and Young scoring system.
With an overall two-deer limit here, hunters are likewise taking adult females out of the population with that other tag. This takes care of herd control, maintaining quality as well as excellent buck to doe ratios unheard of in the much more heavily gun buck-culled counties over the rest of the state.
Hunting clubs and leases have blossomed in the zone as well. Many are gating unnecessary ATV and Jeep Trails, converting them into grassy food plots instead. They've also taken a serious approach against non-seasonal hunting.
The rest is history as they say.
This year's archery deer season begins Sept. 29, a notch earlier for the second consecutive year and the beginning of a new tradition of sorts over the former mid-October versions. The long, liberal bow season runs through December 31. Be careful with those tree stands and enjoy the fruits of your own management efforts and license dollars.
And, may that trophy of a lifetime drop by in your neck of the woods.

Program settling into new location
From the The Brunswick News
An official with the Glynn County School System says the night school program seems to be doing fine since it left Golden Isles Career Academy forĀCollege of Coastal Georgia.
The college is closer to the thick of the population and has been accommodating to students.
Enrollment, however, is down, said Ricky Rentz, assistant superintendent for student achievement for the public school system.
The program helps local students in certain situations earn a high school diploma.
"Enrollment is down compared to what it used to be, but it's been steady," Rentz said. "We probably have anywhere from 15 to 20 kids a night consistently."
The students, who are still enrolled at their base high school, either at Glynn Academy or Brunswick High, work through e2020, an online program that provides them all of the classes they need.
Many of the students are in night school because of hardship situations like becoming a parent at a young age or working to provide for their families during the day, Rentz says.
The school system no longer provides transportation to night school, but that hasn't been an issue, Rentz said.
In a way, it's been helpful. It's helped the school system keep down cost.
There have been other savings, too.
"The cost of the program is much lower because we don't have to pay for a coordinator to oversee it and aren't paying for transportation," Rentz said.
"All we really pay is for an instructor to be there nightly. The college has provided us a space where we have put computers, but it supplies the Internet, the furniture and there's even security there."
Rentz hopes exposure toĀCollege of Coastal GeorgiaĀand to campus life will have a positive effect on night school students.
"I think being there is a real positive for the students and hopefully they see that possibility and they could continue there in the future," he said.
The program teetered on the edge of elimination several years ago until the school system received a grant in 2012 that paid for its continuation. In July, the board approved moving the program to the college and continued to use grant funding. At least $23,000, if not more, will roll over to the next school year.
"Since the cost has gone down tremendously, I think with the grant, we could continue to run it for a few more years before dipping into the general fund," Rentz said. "Before that would happen, we'd, of course, talk with the (school) board to make sure it's approved, but from our perspective, as long as our kids are benefitting from it and getting their high school diploma, I think it's great."

Over the summer, committee members met five times. They took pictures of every school site, identifying access points and suggesting places for racks and crosswalks. "It wasn't unanimous about what we wanted to see [happen]," says Caroline Stem, an HTN member who served on the committee. "There's so much politics in the school district. The advisory committee had to make recommendations to the policy committee, which made recommendations to the school board; the language was waffly and contingent, which made [some of] us uncomfortable as to whether it would actually be favorable to walking and bicycling. I do a lot of facilitation in my own work, and I was floored by how noncollaborative and not very transparent it was."
By the time the new school year began, no policy changes had been made. In fact, the night before the first day of classes, a barrage of robocalls went out to parents, reminding them that walking and bicycling were not permitted at Maple Avenue.
Janette asked her son what he wanted to do. "Adam decided to stand his ground," she says. "So I called Stu Byrne, and I told him that we would be riding."
The next morning, Janette and Adam resumed the civil disobedience of the previous spring, arriving at Maple Avenue by bike. Wearing his backpack and cycling sunglasses, Adam locked his 21-speed Giant to a front gate (an "ideal spot" for attracting attention, he points out) and they started walking into the building. Their entry was suddenly blocked, however, by two men: assistant principal Loggins and New York state trooper Phil Poitier.
Conjuring, for some, unfortunate memories of governor George Wallace—who personally barred black students from entering the University of Alabama registration building in 1963—Loggins re-informed the Marinos that they were "out of compliance" with school policy. Janette directed Adam to go inside, then told the enforcers she had to deliver his diabetes supplies to the school nurse. When she came back out, she was informed that the assistant superintendent for secondary schools, Mike Piccirillo—chairman of the study committee that met over the summer—was on his way.
When Piccirillo arrived, he told everybody to back off and calm down. "We're not going to back down," Janette said, declaring that she and Adam wouldn't stop riding "unless you tell the other parents not to drive their kids."
At that point it seemed as if the off-season deliberations hadn't even happened. Adam's bike went back in the boiler room, and the next day the Marinos were again accompanied by other parents and students. Finally forced to admit that they had no real authority over any family's mode of transport (only over students' conduct on school property), the increasingly beleagured administrators moved the bikes around each day, trying to store them out of sight in various places on school property.
But it was now too late to conceal the issue. The local newspaper, The Saratogian, which had followed the story the previous spring, was back on the scene when the Marinos returned to school in September, and within the next couple of weeks, the saga was picked up by the Schenectady Daily Gazette and Albany Times Union. Finally, on October 3, Fox News carried the headline "New York Mom Fights Middle School that Banned Her Bike Rides with Son."
At that point it became evident that the Marinos' story wasn't just tofu for ecofreaks but red meat for libertarians, right-to-privacy adherents, and anti-government Tea Party activists. "Here was a diabetic kid who was doing everything right," Olson observes, "and he was being defined as an enemy of the state."
Letters flooded into Saratoga Springs from around the country, both pro and con. "Some people accused [my husband and me] of not caring about Adam's safety," Janette remembers. "One of them asked, 'How would you feel if your son got run over by a car? The rules are there for a reason.' It was odd that such a simple move could cause so much havoc. After all, it was just about transportation—getting from Point A to Point B. It wasn't meant as a political act, but it appealed to both sides for different reasons."
The peak of political attention occurred in early October, when a letter from Newt Gingrich arrived in the school district's mailbox. "At a time when nearly one-third of American children and teens are overweight or on the brink of obesity, students like Adam who exhibit healthy behavior should not be punished but rather rewarded," the ex-congressman wrote. Meanwhile, a few of Adam's fellow eighth-graders chided him. "One would say things like, 'Does your mommy still have to take care?' and 'Did you ride your mommy bike today?'" he relates. "I just asked him, 'What's a mommy bike? Define that.'" (In many ways wiser than his years, Adam explains that "middle school is kind of a complicated place. I gave up worrying about it a while ago.")
To say that the Saratoga Springs school board meeting of October 13, 2009, when the advisory committee's recommendations were on the agenda, was keenly anticipated would be an understatement. Dozens of cycling advocates showed up, along with reporters and cameras from several TV stations. As expected, the board agreed to revise its policy to accommodate bicycles—but exactly where and how remained unclear. The new guidelines said that bicycling would be allowed with parental permission if filed in writing in advance; moreover, every bike would need to have a registration tag, and parents of cycling students would be required to accompany their children to and from school. But all of this would take place only after "due diligence" determined whether adequate safety conditions existed at each school—a process to be pursued by teams of teachers and parents with no specific deadline.

Great workout this morning! Third day back in the gym after a 6-year hiatus. Although I'm starting back into it slowly, it feels SOOOO good to be back in there lifting. Just to share, here's the weekly bodypart routine I was doing when I left off 6 years ago. Picked it back up on Monday.
Monday - Legs
Tuesday - Chest
Wednesday Back
Thursday - Shoulders
Friday - Arms
Abs Every day.
Begin each workout with a 15 minute walk on the treadmill to get the old ticker up to speed. Starting out with body weight exercises and/or light free weights until my body realizes that I'm not going to give in to its weakness. Trying for 4 exercises per body part for now. 4 sets of 10-12 reps for each exercise. Concentrating on big, compound movements for now....squats, deads, dumbell bench press, barbell rows. Not really trying for isolation work (other than on arm day) for at least another month. The post workout pain feels so good...I'd forgotten what it was like.
My body is in shock at cleaning up my diet again. Can't intake the amount of calories I want right now, but working up to that as well. Probably best that I don't overload it since I'd love to lose about 10lbs of fat and useless jiggle. Just trying to get rid of fast foods and saturated fats that have my cholesterol and blood pressure screaming.
At 48, I'm not getting any younger and I have family history against me in the health department. I started hardcore lifting in 2001 after being initially diagnosed with high blood pressure. I was skinny, smoking, drinking and generally not living a healthy lifestyle. After a couple of years in the gym and making significant lifestyle changes, I went from 140lbs on a 5' 11" frame with 20% body fat to 200lbs and 10% body fat. At age 40, I considered competing in a natural bodybuilding show, but chickened out and never entered.
OK... enough for now. Got a meal to eat!!! Ya'll have a great day!
Wow! 10forty2 you have 6 years listed and I am the same. My low back finally went absolutely out. Not from workouts but from jumping when I was an Airborne Ranger in the Army. I started back about 2 weeks ago. You can see my schedule in the online training. I am doing light workouts and lifting. I actually do no back work other than upper back.
Hey I just to wish Godspeed in getting back to you want to be. I am about to get my journal on my workout for the week so far here. Lift it in form and you won't need anymore.
rickck48-Life is one final lift to Perfection!
John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches; He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for with out me ye can do nothing.
Goal: NOT there Yet, But haven't quit either!

Plastic Surgeon's New Jersey Liposuction Practice is Booming
The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reported a 13% rise in liposuction procedures performed nationally, but plastic surgeon Dr. Evan Sorokin has seen much more interest from his New Jersey and Philadelphia liposuction patients.
Cherry Hill, New Jersey (April 2008) – For most people, a 13% rise in demand for a service over a one year period would be a strong sign of success. And the fact is that nationwide, 456,828 liposuction procedures were performed in 2007, a 13.2% rise over 2006 according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. But Dr. Evan Sorokin, a board-certified plastic surgeon who practices at Delaware Valley Plastic Surgery, has seen a much bigger increase in women and men choosing liposuction at his New Jersey practice since 2006.
"Most doctors would love to see a 13% rise in the demand for their services," says Dr. Sorokin. "It means you are able to help improve the lives of more and more people, it means you're getting that vote of confidence. So I'm very pleased to see such interest in liposuction at my practice - it's an effective way for many people to enjoy an improved body shape."
In fact, demand for Dr. Sorokin's liposuction services has increased so dramatically that he has created a specialty site devoted exclusively to educating women and men about their liposuction options in New Jersey (www.delawarevalleyliposuction.com). Dr. Sorokin has years of experience performing liposuction and other cosmetic surgery procedures. He has also published several clinical journal articles on innovative liposuction techniques.
"From an innovation standpoint, there's never been a better time to consider liposuction," says Dr. Sorokin. "Besides traditional, ultrasonic, and power-assisted liposuction, my Philadelphia and New Jersey patients can choose Smartlipo™, a truly innovative laser lipo procedure that subtly sculpts areas of fat with minimal downtime."
Smartlipo is used to eliminate diet-resistant fat almost anywhere on the body, including the stomach, hips, thighs, upper arms, and chin. Using small incisions, Dr. Sorokin inserts the Smartlipo device under the skin, where its laser energy liquefies fat cells. Unlike some other liposuction methods, very little of the surrounding blood vessels, nerves, and tissues are disturbed and patients can be in and out of their procedure in about an hour in most cases.
"At first, some people are liposuction skeptics," adds Dr. Sorokin. "But when they view before and after photos, many people are able to see for themselves the dramatic difference liposuction can make. Of course, this procedure is not a weight loss tool, but for women and men who are in good overall health, liposuction is a great way to sculpt the silhouette when diet and exercise just aren't enough."
Web visitors to Dr. Sorokin's specialty site can get more information on New Jersey liposuction techniques, read over risks and recovery, and find answers to frequently asked questions. They can also read liposuction articles and learn more about Dr. Sorokin and Delaware Valley Plastic Surgery.
Interested in learning even more about why New Jersey and Philadelphia liposuction patients are choosing Dr. Sorokin? Request a consultation online or call (856) 797-0202 today.

Snarky's Cinemachine: Knight and Daze
That said, the performance of his which seems closest to approximating what I think is his persona is the surprisingly nuanced turn he gave in Stanley Kubrick's last film Eyes Wide Shut. Being well-versed in the careers of every single other person in the film—particularly my favorite director the late Sydney Pollack—I'm pretty sure Cruise is the only person not doing a heap of acting in that film. For the record, I have resigned myself to becoming rather indifferent to Cruise and despite finding his presence quite bothersome, 90% of the directors whose work I enjoy do not share my opinion (Pollack, Woo, Kubrick, Levinson, De Palma, Mann, T. Scott). Long story short: I've seen a lot of Cruise's films. It seems as though Cruise is going through a transition phase before going back to being a "boyscout" (a fourth installment of Mission: Impossible is slated for release in 2011), but like most transitional phases, this one's a bit difficult. Knight and Day is a film seeking to correct the wrongs perpetrated by Killers—a similarly themed and vastly inferior product—but does not realize it takes more than bigger celebrities, better CGI and a bigger budget. Like Killers the Cruise-Diaz film does not adhere to the conventions of the trope and well, it's just not very entertaining.
20th Century Fox has bet $120mil they can repackage the creepy, sexist off-screen persona of tarnished star Tom Cruise into box office gold with the film Knight and Day. Having seen the film, I can only shake my head at the studio's optimism. Unraveling over a decade's worth of steady audience alienation is a lot to ask of a few well-received public appearances, but I suppose it doesn't hurt Cruise to try. Cashing in on the controversial bizarre behavior, featuring sexist, ableist and arrogant outbursts on what used seemed to be a daily basis is risky business. The writers play around with the tarnished persona in a way I find profoundly disturbing. Now, I might have missed some of the nuances, what with the plot blowing up all over the screen, but I don't really think the writers accomplished their mission of meta-critique on fallen stars, perceived persona or whatever the hell else they sought to analyze through this tedious waste of film. However, I do seem to remember feeling annoyed at the number of times really objectionable behavior was framed as humor and therefore not considered something one shouldn't take too seriously. I'm sorry, when did the antics of misanthropes and sociopaths become so hilarious? I know, Seinfeld.
When Cruise's character Roy Miller isn't acting Hollywood "crazy" he is slipping June—the disappointingly cast Cameron Diaz—date-rape drugs! [screeching tires] I nearly fell out of my chair at level of cheek required to position date-rape drugs as something beneficial to anyone other than the assailant. A plane crash. All right then. Miller engaged in the sort of trope-a-licious bad boy behavior, which filmmakers suggest lonely, 40ish, unfulfilled white women simply cannot resist. It is painful, unfunny, sexist stuff, this Knight and Day, but will easily appeal to the same folks who made last year's homophobic dudebro film The Hangover such a breakout hit.
If you don't have a subscription to award-winning 80-page quarterly Bitch magazine, it's definitely time to start one.

Oh no you didn't...
That "Sydney Pollack" link made my day! And by "made" I mean engaged me in several hours of Wikipedia surfing.
I'm very disappointed in the continued use of the "intelligent woman is nonetheless unaware she's involved with a _____" trope (substitute: spy, hitman, drug dealer, psychopath, con artist or any other shady character). Can we please give that one a rest?

I am still holding out for "Surprise, she's involved with a nice _____ who works as an archivist for the government and enjoys the films of Henry Jaglom."

I could handle the trope if it didn't take forever for the revelation to sink into the woman's head. "So you're a (insert dangerous guy) and the current situation is way over my head? Let me flail around for another 30 minutes or so of film doing everything in my power to come off as simple and inept as possible until I'm a complete liability."

Rampage Says He Made Rape Video To Intentionally Get Fired By The UFC | UFC NEWS
"The reason why it wasn't funny is because the guy released it too soon. It was supposed to be like Dave Chappelle type of stuff. I was supposed to do a series of videos and I was going to be like Dave Chappelle. I like and I wanted to be like Dave Chappelle. The guy liked the video so much he put it on an MMA website, I don't understand. I was supposed to say, this is what I hope happens to any guy, lowlife, trying to rape women. Look what happened to the guy. He got shot at and ended up being a tranny, a man. Plus at the same time, I was kind of like, I had to put it out there, the timing, I was trying to get kicked out of the UFC. I have to keep it real. I was trying. They (UFC) were smart. They knew it, they saw right through it… Now that the UFC didn't kick me out, yeah. It didn't do its job."
Anyone who follows MMA closely knows that former UFC light-heavyweight champion, "Rampage" Jackson, does not want to work for the UFC anymore.
Unable to get out of his last contracted bout, the former champ set out to tarnish his relationship by releasing a video that made light of the crime of rape. (An already sore topic for ZUFFA).
While talking to MMAFighting.com's "The MMA Hour" Rampage discussed this very topic and explained his reasoning behind the act.
If you missed this video, which is now dated a few months back, hop to page two and check out Rampage's instructional gone wrong.

I'm really not sure what to think of this guy……… Strange human being.
All he had to do was fight like he has been if he wanted to get fired.
you know i use to be a fan of rampage, but if you ask me i dont think he has showed up to fight lately, i think he is a better fighter than he has shown against forest, rashad, jones, and ryan bader he just dont care about fighting anymore its a shame the guy has talent but he is just lazy……. oh well plenty of other exciting fighters out there!
This guys fukcn wacked!!
jackson has turned into a complete fuckin asshole, i used to respect him a lot followed him since pride but now… he just needs to go the fuck away.
daaam. probably the dumbest shit i've ever heard.
if page wants out of his contract, just show up to the fight hurt or whatever and wrestle his way to a decision.
dude needs a better manager/mentor/therapist.
That's by far the stupidest thing I've ever seen and heard my whole life!rampage is turning into a wack job.he needs to get his head examined…forget his elbow.
Damn 'Page… Damn damn… Just take your last fight and try and take it a little seriously to prevent your ass from getting kicked and who knows, if you win, maybe you could somewhat salvage your career and image that has taken the biggest punch of them all in the last couple of years.
wtf the video is set as private.
All of you half a fags saying " I use to be a fan" bullshit need to get real! If you can't roll with someone through the good and bad you ain't no fan to begin with. Now bandwagon is a better definition for what you are not a fan!
You're fucking retarded.
Exactly man, I hate these fucken bandwagon jumpers – now that Rampage is losing, all his former fans dislike him
This isnt football mother f*cker!
Shut your bandwagon pussy ass up!
For anyone who wants to watch the video, just search "rampage jackson how to pick up a girl" on YouTube. Other people have reposted the video that was once 'private.' Its not as bad as you may think. If he wants to get fired, he needs to find another more intelligent way of doing so.
Pretty dumb move for a guy who has videotaped dry humping female reporters… And a tiger. Lol
with or without rampage makes no difference..i dont even like his movies..his acting sucks..
This guy is really losing allot of respect from people. He is saying and doing some really dumb stuff.
Sorry to see Rampage in this situation.
Hopefully he'll have a good life when his fighting carreer is over

relevance to Hispanics (Muñoz et al., 1995), African Americans (Napholz, 2005; Phillips, 2000), and American Indians (Manson and Brenneman, 1995) showed promising results. Similarly, many of the interventions described in this chapter, particularly those targeted to early childhood, were evaluated primarily in minority populations, and thus have demonstrated effectiveness in these groups.
In other cases, such as the Family Talk Intervention, trials subsequent to the pilot study have focused on culturally specific adaptations for new populations. As described earlier, the Family Talk Intervention was adapted for use with inner-city, single-parent, minority families with positive results (Podorefsky, McDonald-Dowdell, and Beardslee, 2001). The intervention approach has also been recently adapted for use with Hispanic clients, and a manual for the conduct of the intervention in Spanish has been developed. The modifications include delivering the intervention both in English and Spanish, a focus on acculturation stress and the immigration experience as well as depression, flexibility in delivering the sessions, and careful attention to treating the families with respect. An open trial involving nine families with pre- and postassessment receiving the clinician-centered intervention has shown that it is safe and feasible and led to significant changes in behaviors and attitudes toward the illness. The families also had high scores on a standard self-report rating of the parents' therapeutic alliance with the therapist providing the intervention (D'Angelo et al., 2009).
Future work on interventions to serve families with depression can also draw on the example of successfully adapted interventions in related domains. For example, Beeber, Perreira, and Schwartz (2008) have adapted an intervention to increase social support for low-income mothers, including recently immigrated Latina women. The Incredible Years, a parenting program described earlier in this chapter, can also serve as an informative model for successful wide adaptation of a parenting intervention.
Community and faith-based organizations may offer an important setting for education and other prevention programs for families with depression, especially in some minority communities. In many rural and low-income communities, churches are the primary institutions of social support, and community settings may offer the most promise for access to needed interventions. However, there are important questions about capacity and whether organizations in these settings have the knowledge, education, and skilled staff necessary to implement programs.
Schools have been a more common setting for preventive interventions for children, including some parenting and family-focused interventions (National Research Council and Institute of Medicine, 2009). However,

The goal of the joint DARPA/Navy project is to demonstrate the technical feasibility for a naval UCAV system to effectively and affordably conduct sea-based 21st century suppression of enemy air defenses, strike, and surveillance missions within the emerging global command and control architecture. At the conclusion of the 15-month preliminary design phase, DoD will decide whether to proceed with the second phase. DoD would select one or both contractors for the second phase to complete the development and demonstration of critical naval UCAV system technologies.
The UCAV-N ATP is the next step towards a revolutionary new weapon system that will augment future manned systems as part of an integrated, post-2010 force structure. Future naval UCAV systems will fully utilize the emerging information revolution. They will take advantage of multiple, real-time data sources and secure communication networks to plan for, and respond to, the dynamically changing battlefield. By removing the pilot from the vehicle a new standard in aircraft affordability and supportability will be achieved. Capitalizing on technical advances by UCAVs will provide the nation with increased tactical deterrence at a fraction of the costs of current manned systems.
The Naval UCAV ATP takes advantage of the work that continues to be performed under the DARPA/Air Force UCAV Advanced Technology Demonstration Program. However, the Naval UCAV ATP adds surveillance to the mission set, and will include a significant focus on issues of Naval shipboard integration.

Palermo may have thrashed Roma 3-1 to go into joint fifth place, but Delio Rossi still isn't happy. "We've still got so many defects."
The Sicilians made a step up in quality and in pedigree with tonight's victory and leapfrogged their opponents to go on level terms with Inter.
"I still see that we've got so many defects as well as reasons to be happy. Our team spirit and way of holding the field has improved, but as a Coach I can say it's easy to get 90 per cent of the way to a great side. It takes years and details to get to 100.
"We struggled a lot in the opening 20 minutes," moaned Rossi. "After the break the team did very well and deserved the three points.
"A Coach has to set down the basic sheet music, but then the players have room to improvise phrasing on top of that. I cannot try to take the instinct out of these lads, but at the same time they need something to fall back on rather than total anarchy."
Roma seemed to run out of steam, perhaps because they played in the Champions League midweek while Palermo rested.
"We trained all week and we saw the results. This squad is not really ideal for playing every three days," added the tactician.
"However, it's only right to give credit to President Maurizio Zamparini and former director Walter Sabatini for building this side. There are many young talents who are yet to be discovered and a lot of work to be done."

The Art Education major provides coursework and field experiences for candidates who teach visual arts in the diverse classrooms of California. The Art Education major is a state approved subject matter preparation program (SMPP) that involves an academically rigorous and intellectually stimulating training in studio art, art history and art education. Candidates develop a commitment to academic scholarship in breadth of knowledge, and deepen abilities as a specialist in visual arts through the program coursework. Completion of the art education major also exempts teaching candidates from completing the California Subject Exam in the Arts (CSET Art).
Students select from three emphasis disciplines: Drawing and Painting; Crafts/3-D; Computer/ Photo. The emphasis develops student expertise in the practice of a studio discipline for teaching with passion, competency and relevance with respect to the State-adopted Academic Content Standards for K-12 Students and Curriculum Frameworks for California Public Schools.
The program provides a broad and deep base for lifelong learning and teaching throughout a professional career.
The Art Education program curriculum adapts the art interests of students to support the growth of dedicated, professionally oriented artist/teacher practitioners. The program design reflects the notion that preparation for careers as visual artists is the foundation for successful, subject-centered arts teaching. Candidates exceed the "highly qualified teacher" standard demanded by the No Child Left Behind legislation (NCLB). California State University, Fullerton assigns high priority and strongly supports the program as an essential part of its mission. The University recognizes Art Education as an approved major for the Bachelor of Arts degree and the opportunity for students to engage the major through an emphasis aligned with their interests in the visual arts. Furthermore, the Visual Art Department recently reaffirmed its commitment to the Art Education Major as a core aspect of the department's mission.
Art Education has two full time professors, both committed artists and art educators, who provide direction for the major integrated with the University's highly respected Single Subject Credential Program. Students who plan to earn a Single Subject Credential in Art participate in field experiences and other pre-requisite courses in Secondary Art Education and general pedagogic preparation aligned with the Teaching Performance Assessment (TPA). There are 15 units of pre-requisites, which are not part of the major, nor required for earning the BA degree.
Most students who participate in the Art Education major intend to become art teachers in middle or high school art classrooms, although some elementary school districts hire art specialists. Candidates who wish to earn a multi-subject credential for general K-6 teaching should visit the Center for Careers in Teaching.
Students must make an application to the credential program through the Department of Secondary Education. Applications to the Single Subject Credential Program are due in February prior to the fall start of the program. Students who intend to apply to the program must have advisement with Art Education instructors and must also attend a credential overview seminar offered by the Department of Secondary Education http://ed.fullerton.edu/adtep/Overviews.htm.
Applicants must also submit passing scores on the CBEST exam, and be able to complete all pre-requisite courses by the beginning of the Credential courses in the fall. All qualified applicants will be invited to participate in a portfolio review conducted by a committee of Master Teachers and Art Education staff.
It is not necessary to be an Art Education Major to apply for the Single Subject Credential Program. Students in other BFA and BA programs can complete coursework for the SMPP, Secondary Pre-requisites and portfolio review for application. Students from other colleges who apply to the CSUF program must pass the CSET Art as evidence of subject matter competency, or meet with art education advisors to schedule coursework that will fulfill SMPP requirements. All candidates for admission to the program must meet with an art education advisor, and participate in a portfolio review.

The Bradberries start a musical revolutionTuesday, June 25th, 2013
The way The Bradberries came together sounds like the beginning of a romance — but it's a partnership that's musical, rather than one of true love.
"I always tell people we saw each other from across the room and started a music revolution," said Brad Bury, the band's drummer and vocalist.
Founded in 2012, The Bradberries contributed the song "Tiki Hut" to the American Red Cross benefit CD "Red, White & You." Bury, guitarist and vocalist Scott Ballard, and bassist and vocalist Tom Kemper make up the band.
The Bradberries are a cover band, playing pop, '90s R&B and some dance music. A typical request is Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl," Bury said.
This year, they performed at Opening Day for The Toledo Mud Hens. Although new on the scene, their band was years in the making, Bury said.
"We have known each other forever. We have been in other bands together, and been on the music scene together. It's a matter of finding the right time to hook up and do something different and play. For the most part, things are going really well," he said.
"Tiki Hut" is an original song, penned by Bury years ago.
"It mostly relates to being on the ocean, on the beach. It talks about being in the sun, having some drinks, enjoying yourself. There was a tiki hut there at one of the hotels," Bury said.
After a friend helped Bury record the tune, it became a Bradberries staple.
"When [Michael S. Miller, editor in chief of Toledo Free Press] told me that he was putting together a CD for the Red Cross, and it was more of a beachy-type thing, that song immediately came to me," Bury said.

I wanted to try a new game, so I thought I'd try Planetside 2.
The sci-fi aspect is what I liked (no dungeons and dragons for me thank you).
I have never been very good at 'twitch' games and this proved no different.
In other games I can at least get a few kills even though I die vastly more.
In my first hour of real gameplay, I'd say I died about 99 time and killed 1 person, worse, I had no idea where the shot came from. That indicator thingee doesn't really help a newb.
Somehow, dying over and over and over is not really fun for me. I did have fun exploring the environments for 5 minutes... but I clearly do not understand the mechanics and the game really doesn't teach it well for a newb. Even video guides don't do well when they refer to 'look at that symbol'... look at what friggin symbol? In other shooter games of this type, I played a sniper.. and did well enough to have fun till I kept getting punkbustered when I wasn't cheating and kicked. I still sucked, but could get a few kills.
I know I suck, but a ratio of 99-1 is insane. One shot kills are not fun except for the killer. Being killed by a level 93 as a level 2 is not fun.... when it happens over and over again.
In other games, I felt I had a chance (even though I admit I suck at twitch). I expect to die a lot, but not this much. What this game said to me in the first hour is "You don't belong here".
So, this game isn't for me though I did like the concepts. I do wonder how much levels and enhancements play a part in killing opponents. I suspect it is rather high with their cash shop.
So, I bid you adieu... I hope all who love this game keep playing. I gave it a fair shot, but it's simply not for me.

I wouldn't worry about the dying part. Even the veterans die, a lot. The only difference is that they know how to position themselves better to avoid some enemy fire.
The first thing I would suggest is finding some people that have a clue about what they are doing and following them around assisting. And I don't mean as a medic, but generally assisting as in assist fire etc. You can also join a public squad, but those are a hit and miss in terms of people leading them.
My guess is that your first experience was from spawning on a base already doomed and your people suppressed already inside the spawn room. Sometimes it pays off better to respawn on a previous base down the line and organise a proper defense.
NO, it was a fully owned based I spawned in.
tortuga? or something like that (right in the middle of the map).
What is disliked is feeling I NEVER HAD A CHANCE.
Why play then if you literally have no chance?
As for dying... um.. even a newb shouldn't die 99/100 times.
At my worst in other similar games, I died about 70% of the time... even as a newb. And I'm okay with that. I can get some kills and I die a lot. This game... I am simply screwed in. Virtually zero kills... I die.
I am not fodder for you.

when ps1 was released it took me an entire month to get my first kill..... and that was by mistake.
it was so diffrent from everything else i tried it took forever to learn and adapt. now i would say im pro'ish
wow just wow :D
Just for the record, this is an FPS game in a big massive world, thus the added MMO.
There is not that much more to it than shooting. Yes,because it's big and has objectives, you can utilise tactics on bigger scale, but it all boils down to aiming and shooting at other players. If you're that bad at aiming and have such a lousy awarenes, than I would have suggested starting as healer.
Other than that, as a level 1 toon you can own others just fine, but repeatedly running into the middle of zerg fights is not the way to do it.
Ironically enough, I did sometimes 'leroy jenkins' and simply run in sacrificing myself to allow other to get the kill.. but in that other game that i cannot recall the name of. I do remember a desert scenario with a bridge that I played a lot. (could have been planetside 1 for all i know).
I tried this game since it was free and wanted something 'newish' to play. But in those other games (that I also sucked in), I felt I could make a difference even if it was sacrificing myself.
I suppose I should simply stop trying games that I know I will suck in, but that's not really a solution. I enjoyed the short time I spent in those other games even dying a whole lot. The difference is that I enjoyed very little of this game.
I am not slamming the game at all as I recognize I am very weak in the twitch skillset. I just know this game in particular is especially difficult to compete in versus other, similar games that I could and did have a bit of fun in.
Anyway, best wishes to you all who enjoy this. It seems active enough and a fun game... just not for the newb who dies all the time.

I you weren't already, I'd start by playing Vanu cause they're easy-mode... New Conglomerate on the other hand is hard-mode. Switching back and forth between my NC and VS characters is like night and day.

I just want to mention that owning a base and controlling a base is not the same thing. Owning a base merely means the spawn point is available. For the attackers to gain that base, the best thing they can do is to hold you pinned inside or around that spawn point.
Also, since the title is F2P, there are a lot of people running around clueless about what needs to be done. Following the flow of a battle is one thing, making a difference is another.
Maybe a different server or faction would provide a more balanced experience. What you describe is not that common. Not after a few hours of understanding the dynamics of the game, anyway.
For tips on general gameplay I would suggest the following youtubers:
Also to the fellow above, there is nothing easier or harder per faction at this point in the game. 95% is squad coordination and 5% is flavor.

PS2 does appeal to me for the reason most miltiary FPS don't, you die to quickly and its all about spray and prey - games such as Tribes where you have to aim, lead your targets and you take a a few hits is far more appealing.
Originally posted by expresso
Missing your point a bit, since i can spray and pray -and kill- in Tribes just as much.
And claiming you die too quickly in PS2 is rather one sided ignorat claim as well. Yes you CAN (just like in Tribes you CAN too) but it completely depends on playstile you choose. If you want to be a rambo running into close quarters, being careless in general, than yeah you will die a lot and often quickly as well. But if you utilise shields, healing, stealth and good positioning, you will very often survive a lot of gunfire even in the middle of battlefield. If you're not good at twitch combat than you have to be much smarter and compenstate by utilising terrain. Knowing and using terrain means sooooo much in any FPS and especially in PS2's massive battles.
I can rack kills AND stay alive for an hour if I pick a long range sniper rifle. Or I could sit in a tank and artilery from far away, play a medic/engee support behind the front lines or jump in MAX and shoot airbornes from max range... there's so much options for different playstiles, and spray and pray is just one option (out of many) that comes with a limited part of weapons/styles/engagements.

In PS2 where is the fun stepping out of a spawn point and getting shot in the toe and dying, there is no incentive to stay alive just throw yourself at the enemy over and over again.. ZZzzzzzz

PS2 is a complex game and it takes a while to learn.
I was also dying alot in the start. But thats because I didnt know anything like you.
When you learn the flow of the game and the maps you will do alot better. I wont lie, It will take alot of playtime to learn.
I think it took me a good 30+ hours to be comfortable with the game.
Now Im just slaughtering everyone

There, there's no need to emulate Lemmings by repeatedly running out of a spawn point once it's fully zerged by enemy side and most of your forces have moved away. And even than I can manage to get out alive of such a spawn point but I have to use stealth, move around into their backs and take out a few before I go down. Or do like most, spawn elsewhere and start a fresh fight on another location, wher eyou can still dictate your prefered play style. Unless ofc you want to melee with bolt rifle, than I agree that's not a very valid style in PS2.

I tried several times to like this game but found:
-very twitchy for close combat(too twitchy for me)
-very poor ability to distinguish friend from foe a a sniper
-poor tutorials
I was hoping for a 3rd person option which was available in PS....but the devs decided against it for PS2

I enjoyed PS2 for a good while, kind of fell out of playing it because for the longest time it just felt like the endless zerg train taking bases, until it pushed the enemy back so far they could hold it off. Most the time the train then got shot apart, ran out of vehicle credits, and the defenders then started their own train to take back most the stuff. Whoever currently held the most troops on a given map also held the most terrain, quite often.
As for getting shot up a lot - yeah that happens. My recommendation is to pick a spawn that is not near an immediate hotspot and perhaps find a base you are attacking rather than defending. You will die a lot at first, and even later on, but you need good situational awareness, and you have to realize that yes, if you stick your head out while someone is spamming heavy fire in your general direction, you will die quick.
Also, this may have gotten better lately, since my last play session is a few months back. But do NOT try and learn flying. Again this may have changed, but my trying to learn it basically consisted of leaving the base, and immediately being blown up from somewhere outside my field of view. Before I could fly away or turn I was generally gone. Flying is mostly veteran territory I think, but again, might be better now.
Tanks are pretty good, I've taken a huge liking to the small, single-person tanks. Lightnings with an IR vision upgrade are amazing fun once you are used to them, and are used to checking your environments. You can seriously ruin someone's day, especially if you are dealing with people piloting big tanks. Nothing is as fun as taking down a big tank whilst driving circles around it and hiding periodically behind cover.
So give the game a chance again, it is hard to pick up, but can be oh so fun at times. And of course, you pretty much HAVE to run an assault during night time once. That shit is seriously pretty to watch, trust me.
Oh and as for telling friend from foe as sniper, you have a spot button. Use it often and religiously. People will thank you for it.

if you care about personal K:D ratios its not a game for you.
Its about doing things as a team. Sometimes you will die a lot because you are doing your job. e.g. a squad leader trying to rush a base as a light assault to plant a spawn beacon, a maniac in a tank charging the enemy to break their ranks, a lone pilot or infiltrator going ahead to scout an enemy base or a max / heavy backed by a engi / medic trying to draw fire

One of the things I've been paying more attention to in recent years is how beginner-friendly games are. Some build thorough tutorials, some ramp up your abilities, and some have scaling challenges. And some throw you right in the deep end.
Planetside 2 is beyond that last category.
Technically speaking, any player's gun can easily kill any other player. That makes it different from a game like WoW for example, where your level 1 is laughable against an 80. Yes, they've leveled up and benefited a lot from spending Certs. But none of that stops you from killing them outright. But that becomes deceptive because the learning curve is HUGE.
To die 100 times before your first kill is to be expected. To take out a vehicle and get blown up, or a fighter and crash it? Natural. Because there is a LOT to learn. If you have a lot of experience with First-Person Shooters then you're better of than I was, but you still won't know the terrain, the objectives, when to be which role, weapon effectiveness on various ranges/targets, when to change strategies, etc. Until you know those things they'll get you killed.
But learning from all those deaths can be part of the appeal, too. One of the reasons games are fun is because they challenge us to improve. It's a steep curve, but it's one you can get over. And if you are willing to do so, you'll be happier for it.
Furthermore, proper tactics mean it isn't supposed to be a fair fight. Between the continents, the battle is between hundreds or thousands of players in each faction. And they are very specifically NOT lining up evenly across from one-another. Proper tactics are to strike with allies quickly, unexpectedly, and effectively. If they do that to you and you're outnumbered in the wrong place, then you're beaten. And 10 deaths in a row there won't make you any less beaten, because the move is already in place.
This is one of the things that gets new players killed a lot: they think "well now I know where that guy is, I won't fall for it again". Not realizing that he has 4 friends all staking out different angles. Experienced players still lose those matches, they just realize it sooner and deploy for a different strike.
And finally, sometimes that dying isn't even bad. If you get killed outside your spawn 4 times in a row, then that 5th you kill him and send him to his spawn a mile away? You just saved the territory and won the battle, even though his kill/death ratio is much better than yours. But this too is a learning curve, knowing when risks are with it for the bigger picture.
But make no mistake: Planetside 2 is a first-person shooter in an MMO shell, not an MMORPG with guns. For me that made it a big change from the recent and I ended up liking it. But it won't be for all.

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer..."
There is now a fairly new tutorial when you first enter the game. You can also enter the tutorial at any time when you are in the game. It's 100% better than anything they had before and explains pretty much everything that you need to know as far as mechanics.
I am not a competitive FPS player at all, but for some reason I found PS2 not only fairly easy to grasp, but very addicting. Yes there is a learning curve. This is not an MMORPG, it's not meant to be explored, there is no crafting, NPCs, monsters, aliens, quests (though missions are coming). It's very twitch based and it does take a lot of practice to be good. These are of course not problems with the game itself, but rather problems with people perceptions and expectations of what the game should be. My best piece of advice would be to find a good Outfit (guild) that is noobie friendly and play with other people in organized OPs. The game is not meant to be played as a lone wolf, even though many people do and love their K/D like it actually means something. PS2 is about objectives and large, strategic battles for territory.

Four pieces of advice to new players.
1 When you join the game, press escape, open up the social panel and look for groups to join. This way you will have access to things like spawn beacons, squad leaders and sunderers to deploy on, making your time easier. If the group uses voice combs and tactics, stick with it, it will her you learn the game. If they are a guild ran group, see if you can join the guild. If the group is disorganized quit and find another group.
2 if you want to practice flying, driving tanks or trying out new guns, go the VR training area for some practice.
3 a lot of new players seem to go with infiltrators, thinking they will be easier. Actually infiltrators and light assaults are the hardest classes to play as they are about flanking the enemy and sneaking up on objectives without support. Heavy, medic or engineer is much more suitable for a new player as you will tend to have comrades around you. Also medics and especially engineers earn certs much faster than other classes, you can spend those certs on another class though.
4 you've earned some certs, what should you buy first? Easy, the upgrade to a sunderer that let's you use it as a mobile deployment spot. Park this up and deploy it, you get another choice of where to spawn, a free place to replenish your ammo, and even better when other players use your sunderer as a spawn point you get certs

Things I liked:This is a Great Compact Circle Dot Sight. Lights up very bright on high setting !!
Things I would have changed:I don't think I would change a thing this Green/Red Dot Sight is great as is !!!!
What others should know:This is a great Dot Sight with a circle around the Dot very easy to get your target sighted very quickly. I have to use on 1 or 2 setting because this gets very bright on higher settings but I think that's a good thing it will probably save on battery replacement ?? It took me some time to sight in but once I did, Dead on shots & can hit a 1" black target patch at 20' free hand.This took me time to sight in because of cold weather & I think directions were reverse ? So I started the opposite way & sure enough that worked for me, I had to turn windage & elevation to where I wanted shots to hit. It's more like sighting in a scope but once sighted in it's deadly accurate & I love it. Looks great on my gun and very easy to get on target !! Has quick detach & you can prob put on other guns as well ? I'm very happy with it & for the price it seems very well built & sturdy, I think this may be the best Dot sight for the price and would buy another one. It comes with an extra Battery too !!!
Things I liked:Easy on the man purse, Dual colors. Quicker target acquisition than a scope, Multiple levels of brightness. dropped a few times and still kicking so rugged enough. I don't mind the quick detach too much once I adjusted its tightness.
Things I would have changed:If they had one more setting to make it a little dimmer it would be perfect at night. Its still decent for the money but even at the lowest setting at night the dot looks more starlike than round so for me the 2 strong settings are never used even in daytime. Daytime it does not have this problem especially on the lowest setting its perfect . Its not really a big deal unless your going to attempt 50plus yard shots at sparrows. This is where the fine dot really helps with accuracy since a sparrow is less than the dot size at 40-50 yards. The dimness settings really helps see thru the dot to the target. There are lighter dot sights out there if weight is an issue.
What others should know:I used this on a 1377 w stock utg adapter weaver rail, also on a titan .22, and a discovery .22. Hasn't disappointed. Holds it zero. Not much else to say about a dot shining on mirrored glass. Not the greatest not the worst but probably the best under 40 bucks. Hence 5 stars. Plinkers and short range hunters this is for you.
Things I liked:Love the adjustable brightness and two color options. It seems to have plenty of brightness for full sun and I've been sighting it outside with snow on the ground. It looks great and it works so much better than open sights! I like it.
Things I would have changed:Slightly smaller MOA dot - 2 or 3 would be great.
What others should know:Make sure to get some kind of rail adapter if planning to mount this on a dovetail. I bought the UTG Weaver-to-11mm units for my 2289g and it worked perfectly. Also I don't use the quick release. I just tighten the allen adjustment bolt with the latch down to keep it firmly mounted.

On Thursday, January 13th, the Moyers Lady Tigers went claw to talon against the Eagletown Lady Eagles in a brutal games on the Tigers home court. First to get their hands on the ball were the Moyers Lady Tigers. The girls were slow to start but gave it their all as they attempted to but the ball through the net.  With a few good breakaway shots by #15- Maddi Clark, #24- Shelby Clark, #23-Shelby Geary and #22 Kalli Winters, the Lady Tigers were able to keep the score within 10 going into half-time. At the half the Lady Eagles were still clutching onto the lead with a score of 20-10.
Quick ball movement caused the Lady Tigers to break coverage and they looked slightly confused as the Lady Eagles open players kept putting up the ball resulting in easy points. At the end of the 3rd the Lady Eagles were showing no mercy as the score became 32 to 12.Â
The Lady Eagles had one very outstanding player on the court, #5- Maranda London. London proved to be a very aggressive, fast and precise player and sunk 95% of the shots that she took to the hoop. As the 4th period started the Lady Tigers looked anything but defeated as they took the court to try to play catch-up but nothing was working in their favor. The Lady Eagles took the "W" with a final score of 46-14 over the Lady Tigers.
Putting up points for the Lady Tigers were: #24- Shelby Clark with a total of points, #23- Shelby Geary with a total of 3 points, #22- Kalli Winters with a total of 2 points, #15- Maddi Clark with a total of 2 points and #34- Tanna Thomas with 1 point.View more articles in:
