Today, we're tweaking our Shop Your Closet format just a touch and dedicating the entire story to a single collection: 3.1 Phillip Lim. In the approximately four years since Lim launched his eponymous company, we've come to depend on his hugely wearable and delightfully understated designs. Whether it's a thoughtfully executed coat or an incredibly adaptable dress, each season is a treasure trove of wardrobe gems and invariably full of those go-to pieces you pull out again and again. In addition to giving us the expected assortment of outfit essentials, this spring Lim kicked off his show with a head-to-toe must-try look. The foundation of this ensemble was relatively simple: a black pair of pegged trousers and a shoulder-emphasizing, structured, white blouse. Most of you probably have some version of these key items already; though if you don't, or just want to update your basics, try Elizabeth and James' Kingstone Trousers ($329) with either 3.1 Phillip Lim's Origami Sleeve Blouse ($310) or Plastic Island's Bubble Hem Blouse ($70).
Once you've solidified the base of your outfit with these pieces, it's time to add a little flair with a few trendy accessories. Obviously the standout item in this look is the amazing gold-trim vest, which is totally band-geek chic. Frogged outerwear appeared on numerous runways this seasonÂ--check out the Military Jackets ($5075) at Balmain and the Drummer Boy Jacket ($1933) from Tao by Comme des Garcons for referenceÂ--but we like Lim's take on the trend. He endorsed the decorative detailing via the Asymmetrical Vest ($495), a much more reasonably priced piece! Unsurprisingly, this wonderful waistcoat sparked a shopping frenzy and is basically sold out everywhere (though we found it in black at Colette).
Aside from shopping the French boutique, there is another way to acquire a similar vest. The genius folks over at Target created a thoroughly darling version with their Go International Bandleader Vest ($35, 800.800.8800)Â--it's just absurdly cute! Additionally, if you're the crafty sort, you could make your own version, just check out Caroline Blomst's DIY explanation at Mode Feber (or view this Swedish to English translation for the step-by-step process).
As for the rest of the 3.1 Phillip Lim look, the next necessary component is a monochrome belt like Topshop's Interlink Skinny Belt ($40), shown above, or Element's Noreen Belt ($26). Shoe-wise, Lim showed many of the runway ensembles with Christian Louboutin's Deva 120 Boots ($1095). Also available in nude, these booties have great fringing on the front of the shoe, which really plays up their sexy, semi-bohemian appeal. While we'd love to own the originals, we're also happy to settle for a similar style, like N.Y.L.A's Fergie Pumps ($102), for a tenth of the price!
Outfit complete, we have one final question for you: why not experiment with a slick hairstyle? While we're probably going to skip the oversized bunÂ--it's probably best to leave it to the runwaysÂ--we definitely could go for a more realistic variation. Instead, we'll just try the deep side part and neatly pulled back hair, which is easy to achieve with a grooming product like Frederic Fekkai's Extra Control Styling Gel ($23).
You Have: Elizabeth and James Kingstone Trousers ($329)
3.1 Phillip Lim's Origami Sleeve Blouse ($310)
Go Buy: Target Go International Bandleader Vest ($35, 800.800.8800)

Time magazine's cover story "Are You Mom Enough?" is causing a stir for its cover photo showing a woman breast feeding her three-year-old son.
The story was written by Kate Pickert, a former reporter for the Watertown Daily Times.
The photo shows Jamie Lynne Grumet, 26, a stay-at-home mom in Los Angeles who says her mother breastfed her until she was 6 years old.
The issue includes a profile of the attachment parenting guru, Dr. Bill Sears, who wrote one of the movement's bibles, "The Baby Book," 20 years ago.
Writes Pickert: "As I spoke with parents, especially mothers, about their parenting styles, I found that even those who didn't know Bill Sears by name had been touched by the phenomenon of attachment parenting — whether as practitioners of some of its tenets or as critics. TIME's May 21 cover story introduces readers to Sears, the man whose influence has shifted mainstream American parenting and brought us to a point where mothering requires more physical and emotional investment than perhaps ever before."

A new law in Wisconsin may allow applicants for a concealed carry permit to take safety classes online.
The concealed carry bill was signed into law by Governor Scott Walker on Friday and due to a bit of legislative vagary, it may be possible for those seeking a permit to satisfy the safety course by enrolling in an online class. A provision in the new law mandates a firearms safety course be taken by all those seeking a permit allowing them to carry a concealed weapon. The law makes no mention of whether an online class would satisfy the coursework requirement.
There are other a number of such web-based instructional videos that comply with the education requirements of other states with similarly vague statutes.

A Waddington native serving in the Marine Corps was stabbed in the neck Sunday in California, just days before he was scheduled to be deployed to Afghanistan.
Cpl. Jonathan C. Woodard, 23, is being treated for a severed carotid artery and neck wounds after he was stabbed early Sunday in El Centro, Calif., his father, Charles W. Woodard, said.
Mr. Woodard said his son and a fellow Marine were walking back to their hotel after attending a fair in the area.
After waiting for over 40 minutes for a taxicab, the two Marines decided to walk back to the hotel, he said. Jon decided to walk ahead and thats when a group of people came out from behind an alley and attacked him.
His fellow Marine came to his aid and was able to break up the fight, but not before Cpl. Woodard suffered multiple stab wounds.
He was taken to a nearby hospital before he was airlifted to the University of California at San Diego Trauma Center. He is being treated in the Intensive Care Unit and is considered in critical but stable condition, his father said.
Cpl. Woodards girlfriend, Sharon Kim of Potsdam, as well as his mother, Sandra L. Ladoceour, and his father, both of Waddington, flew to San Diego shortly afterward to be with him.
The doctors were really surprised that he survived the attack, Mr. Woodard said. He is very strong and he is doing good. Were in with him right now. He is resting. He cant speak. But he is doing the best he can. He can communicate right now with eye blinks.
Cpl. Woodard graduated from Madrid-Waddington Central School in 2008. He joined the Marine Corps in 2009, after briefly attending SUNY Canton.
He is stationed in Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, Calif., and was scheduled to redeploy to Afghanistan March 25. He was first deployed to Afghanistan for nine months in 2011.
Mr. Woodards fianc�e, Kimberly Brabant, has been updating family and friends on Cpl. Woodards condition on her Facebook page every day, Mr. Woodard said.
His fellow Marines have been right by his side the whole time, Mr. Woodard said. He is a fighter and he is doing the best he can. He is going to be all right. He should come out of this. He is strong.

How to think like a Nuclear Control Room Operator
UI Human Factors students study man and machines at the Idaho National Laboratory
By Shannon Palus
for Idaho National Laboratory
Communications & Governmental Affairs
Reposted from the August 13, 2013 INL Newsletter
Some 10 shrill alarms were going off at once. The gauges indicated that the pressure in the pipes was still rising. In what looked and sounded like a nuclear plant control room, it appeared that there had been a steam generator tube rupture. Roger Lew and Thomas Ulrich — a pair of neuroscience graduate students at the University of Idaho — found themselves in charge of solving the problem.
Their focus ping-ponged from one dial-and-gauge-filled panel to another as a supervisor rattled off protocol from the middle of the room. Within minutes, the situation was under control. There would be no harmful leakage of radioactive water that day — not that they had anything to worry about since the scenario was merely a simulation of an extremely rare event.
INL summer interns Thomas Ulrich and Roger Lew are neuroscience graduate students at the University of Idaho.
Besides, the scene played out not in a real nuclear control room, but in the newly-erected Human Systems Simulation Lab (HSSL) at Idaho National Laboratory, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Light Water Reactor Sustainability (LWRS) Program. The HSSL is a good facsimile of a real nuclear control room: The features of a real-life control room are loaded onto the HSSL's 45 large touch-screen panels, which are arranged vertically around the room. A computer on the other side of the room can simulate anything and everything that can go wrong.
This serves as a lab for Ulrich and Lew, as they do their summer research with the Human Factors group at INL — a team of researchers who study the intersections between minds and machines. Human factors, as a field, is applied to technology used by millions every day — iPhones, Facebook messenger, the turn signal lights in your car. These things are attractive and intuitive to the human mind by design. Human factors psychologists at INL are doing research that would make nuclear control rooms more attractive and intuitive, too. Along the way, they want to ensure that new technologies are at least as safe as older technologies.
And now is a good moment do to so: Nuclear control rooms, along with their designs, have been around for more than 50 years. As wire insulation breaks down, and as alarm lights crack, they need to be replaced — and safety demands that things work smoothly.
The HSSL offers an interesting, perhaps obvious, solution: rather than just replace parts as they fail, find a way to design better parts. More sensible layouts. Alarms that make identifying problems easier. A system fit for the digital world. And designs should be based on the science behind the way people think.
"The Human Systems Simulation Lab provides a test bed for nuclear reactor control room modifications that enables testing technologies that cannot practically be tested in our commercial reactor fleet," explains Kathy McCarthy, director of the Technical Integration Office for the LWRS Program. "This is an important part of the modernization activities supported by the (program)."
Ron Boring, principal investigator for the Pilot Project on Control Room Modernization, cites a need for fundamental psychological research on how people behave in control rooms. He and his interns are here to, as Lew explains, "take advantage of human perception to make things better."
Human factors researchers Ron Boring, left, and Vivek Agarwal test displays in the Human Systems Simulation Laboratory.
To get inside the heads of control room operators, Ulrich and Lew spent days sifting through training manuals. They practiced the protocol for responding to a steam generator tube rupture, and other scenarios, over and over.
They examine traditional control-room setups to dream up improvements that take advantage of the human brain's natural tendencies.
For example, Lew is working on a digital Chemical Volume Control System panel. The display flips between a grid of water pressure readings and a visual diagram of the status of the valves. The design "co-locates" several readings that were previously at different places in the room. The new design could give operators an easy way to get an overview of a situation without requiring attention to ping-pong around the room so much.
Ulrich recently helped create an indicator display that is grey-colored when all is going well so that it fades into the background. When something goes awry, the indicator turns an eye-catching red.
The team will test new designs with actual operators to see if the upgrades are really improvements. There are cameras hung from the ceiling that can be used to observe operators and even track eye movements and reaction times.
If all goes well, the research supporting their digital display designs will be made available to anyone interested in designing a nuclear control room.
And with time, Lew's digital display and Ulrich's alarm prototypes will become part of the brains of control room operators, who have to know their surroundings at work as well as the backs of their own hands.
Asked if they would rather be working on something slicker and sexier, like Apple products, Lew and Ulrich say "no."
"It's nice to work on things that you know will be meaningful," says Lew. "I like the complexity of all of this."
Ulrich adds: "You get to see cool stuff that most people never think about."

Taste the Balkans
05 Dec 13
Michele Rumiz
Apart from mapping products in their home countries, a significant task for the ESSEDRA project partners will to work on the joint campaigns to be activated in the Balkan region and Turkey in the coming years. Organizing campaigns means on the one hand raising awareness, mobilizing citizens and influencing their everyday food choices, and on the other pushing the relevant authorities to promote sustainable rural development throughout the area.
To this end, with the aim of acquiring experience and skills, all the partners met in Sofia for "Taste the Balkans", an important chance to assess what has been done so far in the different countries.
For example, from Turkey, Burcu Gezeroglu brought news of the campaign to protect the lüfer, which has managed to unite very different figures—academics, chefs, politicians from different sides, civil society organizations, fishers and consumers—under the banner of one simple demand: to raise the minimum catch size for lüfer from 14 to 24 centimeters to save it from the risk of extinction. The clarity of this demand, along with the capacity and organization of a highly efficient network, that led to the success of the campaign and its gradual transformation into something even bigger and more ambitious: the first edition of Slow Fish Istanbul, held from October 17 to 20 this year.
Another story came from Albania, where, Pierpaolo Ambrosi explained, Vis Albania has started an important initiative integrating local development, tourism possibilities and food production into a single project to encourage the sustainable development of the country's rural, mountainous north.
More fascinating inspiration came from the other partner countries, working on campaigns to protect local breeds or promote raw-milk cheeses. This meeting served to introduce all the different actions put into practice by the ESSEDRA partners and the challenges they have faced so far, in order to build a critical mass for moving towards the shared sustainability objectives. The days in Sofia offered an important opportunity for comparison and discussion, helping the partners become more aware of their strengths, the initiative's significance and the main political and social challenges which must be faced together in the coming years.

hi, i am thinking of using one table ceil to accept data retrived from database, after update of the data and then send them back to db.
like this:
 Student name:
 <?php echo $name ?> ///---to accept the data
//retrived from db
<input type="text" name="stanme"> //--to accept input
//(modify) the value
//of $name then update
//it to db
I doubt that one ceil is used to accept retrived data and assigned to accept input will not work, but I don't know how to realize this function.
Does somebody know?
thnk u for your reply.

Consumer Reports: Best paper towels
CONSUMER REPORTS -- Paper towels are great for cleaning up spills and messes around the house. Consumer Reports tested 18 paper towels, including some from Bounty, Viva, and Brawny as well as store brands like Costco's Kirkland Signature and Walmart's Great Value.
To measure absorbency, testers weigh a dry paper towel, dunk it in water and then weigh it again to see how much water it can hold. Testers also use a special machine to measure how much force it takes to break through a wet paper towel.
Then, there's the scrub test. A paper towel is strapped onto a machine and then it passes over a rough surface. Some paper towels can handle lots of scrubbing and others, not so much.
Bounty's DuraTowels rated excellent in all of Consumer Reports' tests. They aced the scrub test, so they are great for tougher messes. But, they are expensive costing around twice as much as other paper towels.
Among the cheaper paper towels, the best of the bunch is Great Value Strong and Absorbent from Walmart.
Be aware, you shouldn't use paper towels for everything. They will scratch your glasses, your TV screens and camera lenses. For those tasks, you're better off using microfiber cloths instead. You can find those with the cleaning supplies in stores like Walmart and Target.

It was a really great conference! I have so many good impressions it's just hard to sort them all out and write them down. Instead of that, here's a treat for the geeky-minded
In accordance with the specification expressed here:
… I've created a device driver that implements the functionality in kernel. In honour of the operating system by which this work was inspired, I name the driver random.debian. The kernel module creates a device entry (/dev/random.debian) which is a infinite source of random data with entropy compatible with the above specification. The source code tarball for the Debian-like random data source is of course available under the BSD license. This will work on any recent version of FreeBSD.
As much as I would like to have though of this first, the idea was actually put out by PHK or Robert Watson while we were waiting for dinner, so that part of the credit goes to them.
This DevSummit+BSDCan was very fun and educational and will definitely try to be here in the next years also.

I was pre-med for two difficult years in college. I finished most of the curriculum, including the doozies like Organic Chem and College Calculus, but my heart was not in it. And I ended up graduating with a Political Science degree. There are folks, fortunately, whose heart is in the medical field. Jack Andraka is still in high school and the kid genius just struck gold:
15-year-old Jack Andraka, it's par for the course. The high school sophomore recently developed a revolutionary new test for early-stage pancreatic cancer. This, before he could legally drive a car.
This past December, Andraka won Intel's prestigious Gordon E. Moore Award along with other top honors at the corporation's annual Science and Engineering Fair, the world's largest high school research and science competition. Jack Andraka created a simple dip-stick sensor to test for levels of mesothelin, which is a biomarker for early-stage pancreatic cancer that's found in blood and urine. The method is similar to diabetic testing strips, utilizing just a pinprick of blood and costing all of three cents to make.
Three cents? I like this kid (genius.) Cancer is a scourge that needs elimination.

Guests are invited to Country Fair activities at 7 p.m.
If you are interested in participating in the pageant please register now!
Narrated by Parley P. Pratt, the pageant emphasizes the prophetic mission of Joseph Smith and honors the sacrifice, faith and courage of the Saints who gave their all to build a city and a temple to their God.
The British pageant explores events surrounding the beginning of the Church in the British Isles and the impact of the British member's abiding faith and deep love for one another and the Savior.
The pageants are filled with authentic hymns and folksongs, lively dances, and tender moments that share the joy these early Church members found in living Christ's gospel. Through words taken from journals, sermons, and historic records of the period, the pageants invite all to feel the powerful stestimonies of these faithful Christians.
The Nauvoo Pageant Core Cast consists of twenty actors, representing historical figures such as Parley P. Pratt and Joseph and Emma Smith who perform live each night for the duration of the pageant. The core cast also presents short historical vignettes during the day and sometimes performs an hour-long presentation of "Our Story Goes On" in selected venues outside Nauvoo.
The LDS Church is seeking professional-quality actors to fill 20 core cast roles in the summer of 2015 Nauvoo and British Pageants. There are roles for men and women age 20 through 70, as well as one teenage boy. Please come prepared with 16 bars of a song of your choice. We will also do readings from the pageant scripts. Groups of 10-12 will audition each hour, so please anticipate scheduling a time at the top of each hour.
You may also send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with the day and time you would like to audition.
The rigorous nature of these outdoor summer pageants requires that core cast members be experienced, faithful, LDS performers demonstrating a high degree of maturity, flexibility, and willingness to work long hours. Good health is essential. Once cast, candidates must also receive their bishop's recommendation. Rehearsals for core cast members will take place in Salt Lake City in June and will then move to Nauvoo. For further information or to schedule an audition please call (801) 240-2551.
Participation in the Nauvoo Pageant cast is a missionary experience for families and individuals. Participants will have many opportunities to share the gospel message with audience members and other visitors in Nauvoo while hosting the Country Fair celebration and performing in the pageant. Families and individuals will also have opportunities to strengthen their testimonies of the gospel through rehearsal and performance.
The Nauvoo Pageant Work Crew consists of 20 able-bodied single young men, ages 16-25, who serve as site workers and technical support for the pageant. Work crew members will assist with some technical elements of the pageant, including the stage, props, lighting, site, and Country Fair.
The Nauvoo Pageant Volunteer Support consists of volunteers (ages 21 and older) who assist with costuming, security/site maintenance, food services, and family support.
The Nauvoo Pageant Bagpipe Band is a significant part of the spirit, missionary efforts, and gospel message of the Nauvoo Pageant. The Bagpipe Band will be involved in many important aspects of the overall pageant experience. Band members will participate in scheduled outreach performances in nearby surrounding communities, pre-vignette performances, Mulholland Street performances, Country Fair activities, and the Nauvoo Pageant Parade leading the guests to the seating area of the pageant.
The Nauvoo Pageant begins each night at 8:30 p.m. (Tuesday through Saturday) but there are more events associated with the pageant that are also free for all to see.
The Nauvoo Pageant will accept applications for the pageant beginning September 1 - October 31.
The Nauvoo Pageant will continue to accept applications for Volunteer Support, Bagpipe Band and Work Crew after the October 31 deadline.
See the latest edition of the Meridian Magazine for an article on the Before the Nauvoo Pageant Lights Go On .

What better place than the interactive portion of the South by Southwest festival to think of innovative methods to let people charge phones?
The latest from entrepreneurs, investors, and cutting-edge digital taste makers at South by Southwest.
Reporters' notebook: The annual technology, film and music confab showed us that brands have money to blow, and a tiny app can still make a name for itself when the tech industry converges on Austin, Texas.
With throngs of people running around from event to event during the South by Southwest festival, there's bound to be some dying phones. Luckily -- from Saint Bernard dogs to solar gas pumps -- there's no shortage of ways to solve that problem.
The tech industry will descend on Austin, Texas, starting March 13 for the annual music, film and interactive festival known as South by Southwest. Here's why its organizers now call Twitter -- a standout success at the event eight years ago -- an "albatross."
The event formerly known as the iTunes Festival takes place in London throughout September.
The app, which was the talk of the tech industry earlier this year, is bolstering its capabilities to better compete with Twitter's Periscope app.
Two years ago, the South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas, was sprinkled with people wearing Google's smart eyewear. This year, it seemed like no one was wearing it. Except me.
When Google unveiled its smart and controversial eyewear three years ago, some early tech adopters tried to do their part by eagerly pushing for Glass acceptance. The world pushed back.
By using a process known as electrospinning, a new kind of 3D printer might someday fabricate your clothes moments before you go out for the night.
The man behind the heartbeat-reading startup has warned of the potential abuses of the new technology.

After choosing which version of MySQL to install, you should decide whether to use a binary distribution or a source distribution. In most cases, you should probably use a binary distribution, if one exists for your platform. Binary distributions are available in native format for many platforms, such as RPM packages for Linux, DMG packages for OS X, and PKG packages for Solaris. Distributions are also available in more generic formats such as Zip archives or compressed tar files.
Reasons to choose a binary distribution include the following:
Binary distributions generally are easier to install than source distributions.
To satisfy different user requirements, we provide several servers in binary distributions. mysqld is an optimized server that is a smaller, faster binary. mysqld-debug is compiled with debugging support.
Each of these servers is compiled from the same source distribution, though with different configuration options. All native MySQL clients can connect to servers from either MySQL version.
Under some circumstances, you may be better off installing MySQL from a source distribution:
You want to install MySQL at some explicit location. The standard binary distributions are ready to run at any installation location, but you might require even more flexibility to place MySQL components where you want.
You want to configure mysqld to ensure that features are available that might not be included in the standard binary distributions. Here is a list of the most common extra options that you may want to use to ensure feature availability:
--with-berkeley-db (not available on
all platforms)
--with-named-z-libs (this is done for
some of the binaries)
For additional information, see Section 2.17.3, "MySQL Source-Configuration Options".
You want to configure mysqld without some features that are included in the standard binary distributions. For example, distributions normally are compiled with support for all character sets. If you want a smaller MySQL server, you can recompile it with support for only the character sets you need.
You want to use the latest sources from one of the Bazaar repositories to have access to all current bugfixes. For example, if you have found a bug and reported it to the MySQL development team, the bugfix is committed to the source repository and you can access it there. The bugfix does not appear in a release until a release actually is issued.
You want to read (or modify) the C and C++ code that makes up MySQL. For this purpose, you should get a source distribution, because the source code is always the ultimate manual.
Source distributions contain more tests and examples than binary distributions.

If you choose the binary method of install from between binary and source installation method, you have to choose how you want to install the binary:
1. RPM method
2. download the tar.gz file and then just untar it
The factors to consider are:
1. The directory layout which you are comfortable with since the above two binary installation methods give two different directory layouts.
take a look at the directory layouts under the two different binary installation methods at:
2. The rpm method will give you a startup script and place it in the appropriate location (for e.g in case of redhat it is /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql) and also make the chkconfig entries in the various run levels. But the tar.gz binary distribution method will not make a startup script and it will also not make the entries in the appropriate run levels. If you do decide to go the tar.gz binary distribution method you will need a startup script. You can see a sample script at http://www.grmtech.com/mysql/samplestartup.html
Though the 2nd point of consideration may seem like a disadvantage for the tar binary install you might want to consider deeply the tar binary installs advantage of having all the mysql related files under one directory and not spread across multiple directories.

Another reason to download the source code version is if you need to install some other program that either needs certain mySQL source files or needs to be included with the mySQL compile – SphinxSE, the mySQL storage engine, for example.

Cancer Support Community
of the Greater Lehigh Valley (CSCGLV)
is a local nonprofit organization providing free programs of emotional and social support, education and wellness activities to people with cancer, as well as their families, friends and caregivers. Through participation in professionally-led support groups, educational workshops and mind/body classes, people affected by cancer learn ways to regain control, reduce stress and isolation, and restore a sense of hope for a better quality of life regardless of the stage of disease.
CSCGLV is an affiliate of a global network, utilizing the Patient Active© Concept and offering all programs at no charge to participants.
Please visit our calendar page for dates and times of all programs.
Rebecca and Jan met at work in 1981. The diagnosis of cancer united these friends even stronger when Jan was diagnosed in 2002, and then Rebecca later in 2011. But it wasn't only a cancer diagnosis that these women had in common – but also a later diagnosis of lymphedema that led them to become advocates for others.

GORDON HAPPY WITH ISLANDERS' DIRECTION"We're not re-tooling. Still trying to find the tools."
12:30 pm, Iceworks: Islanders head coach Scott Gordon is extremely comfortable with the direction of his team.
Asked by a reporter after today's optional practice about the differences between the Islanders and Saturday's opponent, the New Jersey Devils, Gordon – while respecting the Devils' championships and annual competitiveness – said it's a case of apples and oranges.
"The Devils are re-tooling. We're trying to rebuild with a master plan of winning a Stanley Cup," said Gordon. "We're not re-tooling. We're still trying to find the tools.
"With all the changes in coaches and managers here, there hasn't been a stretch of continuity. We haven't deviated from the plan. Garth (Snow) hasn't traded any players in a panic. We haven't given up something that we're going to miss."
Gordon has seen improvement in the core of his team's approach from last season to this season.
"I see a level of consistency," said the coach. "The power play and the penalty kill…there's no question we've got to get better. Five-on-five, we don't give up a lot. With a young team that could use a lot of practice time, and in a year with a condensed scehdule where there hasn't been much, I've been happy with what I see in our work.
"You have to remember, the roster didn't change a whole lot – except for the goaltenders. Now, for me, it's about finding a few missing pieces to fill in."
Finally, Gordon was asked if the Eastern Conference standings board still hangs in the locker room like it did in mid-January, when the Islanders were still in the playoff hunt. Affirmative.
"Look at the standings and know what a lousy feeling it is," said Gordon, referring to his players. "Remember this day."

|Trooper, House Hit in Accidents
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 04 January 2011 08:02
A State Patrol trooper was injured yesterday morning while investigating a wreck in Caldwell County. At about 8:30 a.m., Trooper Myrl J. Pennington was working a three-car wreck near the intersection of Cajah Mountain Road and Horseshoe Bend Road, standing near a truck that was involved in the wreck and was close to the side of the road.
James Sullivan Jr., who was driving east on Cajah Mountain Road, came up to the intersection, according to the patrol report, and was blinded by the low angle of the early morning sun, and didn't see the traffic controller or the wreck. His vehicle his hit the back of the car involved in the first wreck and the impact forced the truck from the first wreck into Pennington, who was thrown to the ground. Investigators say he injured his hip, wrist and elbow. He was taken to the hospital as a precaution. Pennington was treated and released from an area hospital Monday afternoon.
A driver was injured in the collision of two Toyota pickups—then a house yesterday afternoon. Annie Harris was in her two-story brick home when one of the two pickups slammed into a ground-level window on the front right side of the house at the intersection of N.C. 18 North and Reynolds Avenue in North Wilkesboro. Ms. Harris said there was a loud crash and that the house shook in the 4:15pm wreck. One of the pickup drivers was slightly hurt in the wreck, and
North Wilkesboro police interviewed the driver of the other pickup, who wasn't injured, at the scene. Police say it appeared that both pickups were northbound on N.C. 18 when one struck the other in the rear and the lead pickup then slammed into the house.

Seems like the parties are missing out on a win-win-win situation. It could be a lot of fun for all involved for the activists to fly the new cheap RC helicopters* around as targets for the gun club. In this arrangement, activists get to fly RC choppers (possibly subsidized by the gun club), gun club members get to fire at small evasive targets and no birds are killed! (* eg: http://www.xheli.com/56h-s301g-yellow.html)
"You can legislate common sense but it doesn't do any good".
Listening to the video where a drone crewman calls out to some one in the woods
Hey you there with the gun, come on over so we can talk to you about your shooting down our drone. I learned long ago it is not a good idea to taunt an armed hostile person.
I feel pretty confident that operating UAVs in US airspace is illegal for private groups or individuals. There is a lot of doubt as to whether it's legal for police, military, and border patrol to operate these things in public airspace. I'm curious as to why the sheriff mentioned didn't arrest the people who admit to operating this thing not to mention the trespassing and invasion of privacy.
There is generally more to these stories than what's presented. It's pretty obvious the local LEOs want to keep away from this issue. Sometimes it's a discretion decision and sometimes they want to pay out enough rope to trip or hang somebody.
I don't think it is illegal to operate an unmanned arial vehicle as long as one stays out of controlled airspace (i.e. stays in uncontrolled airspace). As long as the club is at least 5 statute miles from an aiport, that should give them 1200 feet above the ground to operate.
This copter is an RC thing, not a UAV.
I thought they were synonyms. Isn't a UAV an RC ?
How in the heck do you go about cooking one of these things?
Next they will be filming cook-outs in your back yard! Did you note the racial slur "Come on out BOY".
Yup, they live among us!
Is there a drone season in Pennsylvania?
I think it coincides with deer season.. ;-)
Maybe, but you generally don't go after deer with shotguns. And th
is is why:
California spends an obscene amount of money harassing hunters. Even those with licenses. It's ironic that the state profits from selling licenses, then uses the income to pay for "Fiash and Game" police to arrest and hassle hunters.
California has two pilots flying turboprop planes, looking for a searchlight in the wilderness. Then they take the coordinates and send two cars out to investigate/hassle. There is a California law that prohibits the carrying of a loaded firearm on a public road, obviously to stop gangs etc. Well, they use that to arrest hunters because the wilderness tracks are called fire roads and, therefore, are public roads, thus they can arrest the hunters. Even if the breach is open, if there is ammunition in the magazine then the rifle is loaded and the hub=nter is subject to arrest. The cost of this 'enforcement' is enormous - and they whine about a state budget that is upside down!
Oh, and this is all "To protect our native wildlife for future generations!"
Sorry Pat,
as a life-long resident of California I can tell you: if you do *anything* in this State, (or even nothing at all) you are in violation of some statute or regulation. The carbon dioxide you exhale violates Air Quality Mandates.
Carbon Tax, Carbon Tax ! LMFAO
I have hunted in states where the only weapon allowed in a deer hunt is a shotgun.
Pigeon = Aerial rodent ?
Let's see - one $400? drone, a half dozen .22 rounds. Sounds like a fair trade to me. As long as there is not a federal subsidy for spying drones.
Use of a radio controlled aircraft, not under direct control, and not in the line of sight of the pilot, for commercial purposes, even non-profit (such as this) requires Federal permission. Radio control clubs across the country are currently spending a lot of time and money trying to differeniate ourselves from idiots like this who think they have the right to fly where ever they want and invade peoples privacy just because they can afford the hardware. Fly one over my house and I'll shoot it down too.
The drone was in the line of sight for the whole time. Watch the ground camera footage.
"SHARK" is a bunch of nosy NUTS !
I think I saw a drone strapped to the hood of a pickup truck outside Pittsburgh.
What part of the drone do you mount for the wall?
The club should invest in proximity fused, airburst weapons. No sense in giving them back the evidence
They need SAMa make bigger boom but are not as sporting as shotguns. Wonder if the shooter who gets one has free drinks at the bar afterwards. Keep up the good work guys.
Shoot down five drones and be designated an ACE.
Beer Drone Recipe
1 bagged drone
1 12 oz beer of choice
1 can wd40/ light machine oil
Preheat oven to 375.
Prepare the drone. Cut off wheels if rubber.
Empty beer can.
Place drone on beer can.
Spray lightly with WD40 or light macbine oil.
Place in preheated oven for 45-60 min or until plastic parts become soft (If plastic rotors, cook until rotors begin to droop.
Remove from oven, let cool.
Use as Table center piece.
(for reuse for Christmas, sprinkle with glitter and drape tinsel on rotor.
You can use Tri-Flo instead of WD-40 if you want Drone Flambe. The teflon in Tri-Flo makes pretty coloured flames. Perfect for those holiday get-togethers!
That recipe actually makes a good trophy for whoever shoots one down.
It would take a specialized attorney, but It's my understanding that there would be an expectation of privacy on private land and the drone violated that. Since it is not a living thing what law prevents it from being shot at and hit while invading a private gathering on private property. It's pretty evident that these "activists" would be ejected from the private property in person so why would the owners or lessees allow them to overfly the area and photograph activities that they would not be allowed to photograph in person. No activist was shot and no game warden was called these guys are just non violent vigilantes.
I'd shoot at it too if it were on my property..
These animal rights people seem to think they can do anything, anywhere, any when, but when things don't go as planned, the first they do is begin a whining campaign, attempting to make others look bad while evading responsibility themselves. I like the comment which said it's reasonable to expect privacy while on private property; though I'm not sure this includes airspace. Supposing these people had been filming from any conventional aircraft (J3 comes to mind or something similar;) would that have made this any more (or less) legal? The fact it's a drone made it a target; I'd be interested in knowing the invasion of privacy statute or tort in this case.
That's pretty much what I was going for. As for air rights over private property, I suspect it's a state issue rather than federal but I'm not a lawyer. I can promise you though, if my wife, sister or lover were enjoying my back yard or my back 40 attempting to get a line less tan, I would have no compunction about shooting down a drone and placing it roughly on or in the owner. It would be a while before he could mouth the word "boy". I might even give serious consideration to the J3.
Maybe they should try this over the white house and see what happens. Or maybe they should try to photograph Kate Middleton at her vacation home and check that reaction. Private property is private property and they deputize game wardens for enforcement of game laws.
Funny how a friend and I were remarking on the first incident just a few days ago
There IS a legal expectation of privacy on ones property. If ANY law enforcement agency were to attempt to use this means of obtaining "evidence" without a warrant (which requires a probable cause affidavit), it would be tossed in a heartbeat. "Evidence" like this obtained by individuals or any non-governmental agency/party cannot be used as evidence in any criminal investigation. It may be submitted in an effort to initiate an investigation, but cannot be used in itself as evidence since it was illegally obtained. Any prosecution would require legally obtained, independent verified evidence from authorized sources. And BEFORE you jump in with stuff like "Well, Google Maps" does it so it must be legal. BIG DIFFERENCE, Google is NOT monitoring/recording real time activity.
There is a lot more to the legality of this type of surveillance activity, but basically, if it not observable by "ordinary means" i.e. without committing trespass, it is NOT protected. If I warn of " Posted Property, Trespassers will be shot", then trespassers by/from ANY method can be dealt with. Since RC/drones are NOT protected by any law, especially when violating some ones privacy, there can be no action against those that protected their property from being violated. If one were to forcibly drive a RC vehicle (whether miniature or full sized) onto some else's property, they would have no basis for a complaint were the property owner to beat the crap out of it or shoot it.
Send that drone over my house, I would do the same.
Spoken like a barrister. Are you?
You are right in respect to my commend regarding gathering evidence - it cannot be used as evidence in any U.S. court. I forgot about this difference between the U.S. law and the one in my country. However, as you have noted, it may be submitted in an effort to initiate an investigation, and probably that was the reason they gathered it in addition to publishing the footage of unlawful acts that were commited on this property (there is a ground-based video on YT of them shooting and stomping on pigeons).
There is no 'probable cause' requirement! If something can be seen from off the property it is open domain and no warrant is required. That includes from a roadway, neighboring property, or from the air.
Drones, whether private or state owned, can fly without impediment.
Reagan's Administration had a dust up over Orange County Airport in California when the county tried to regulate air use to avoid aircraft noise over wealthy homes in Newport Beach. The Feds won, and air space is open, subject to FAA regulation and enforcement.
There is an FAA restriction over operating an aircraft less than 500' above a populated area - your having a home makes this a populated area, so the procedure would be to file a complaint with the FAA. Your shooting down of the drone could incite a lawsuit for damage to private property, just as it would if you shot at any aircraft, as well as enforcement action for shooting down any aircraft (even a drone).
This country has laws for everything - and the government has an unlimited amount of money to hassle us with.
Your statements all sound right to me. Only thing I want to add is that I would never shoot at an airplane as there is someone on board, but an RC drone, that I think is spying, would be fair game to me over my property and I promise they would never find it again. Sue me!
It's possible the drone could remain over the road and still observe what was going on. What would be the legal issues with that, if they are still over public property, but can see over into private property.
It is open domain - public land is public land. The Paparazzi rely on this to take sneak photos, and the police rely on this for 'probable cause' arrests and invasions. If something can be observed from a public place (even if it is on private land) then it can be used for enfocement action.
Put it this way - if a cop wanders hy your house and sees you performing an illegal activity then he come come to your door and arrest you. The same applies if a police helicopter is flying above your house (airspace is a federal domain and if one has a pilot's certificate and a current medical and is current then he can fly over your house and take photos etc).
There is no invasion of privacy if the activity is open and notorious - and this includes from the air. Google Earth has been sued over this and has won.
Keep your damn drone out of my private space.
If we could only train a pigeon to put an "airburst" on the drone's camera lens instead of my car's hood.......
Ahhhhhahahahahahahah !!!
Good shooting. No tolerance for spies.
Well he tagged out
Spying on a pigeon hunt with a UAV may be feckless, but shooting rifle bullets into the air is downright reckless
Rifles are not used to hunt birds
They work good on hovering spy RC's though.
They are shooting shotguns in an area that is obviously safe to shoot shotguns. Big difference between birdshot and rifle bullets.
I shot clay birds years ago. Thousands of them. I never took part in a live pigeon shoot. As a matter of fact I thought people gave up that mideval activity a long time ago. Has anyone here ever been to a live bird shoot? If you had you'd know why they have to be held on "private" property. They are heinous, cruel, and completely unnecessary. I've been a hunter all my life and often disagree with the acts of animal activist groups, but in this case...shame on the live pigeon shooters!
I've shot clay birds as well, mostly as training to shoot upland birds, ducks and geese when you could bag more than one. Most of the pigeon I've bagged have come from the butcher or grocer. They frown on discharging weapons in their environment :-). Actually, I've never seen pigeons outside the cities and most squab is raised much like a Thanksgiving turkey. Most bird hunting is done on private property and I can't imagine any lessor being anxious to rent to a wacko with a UAV who would harass other hunters, at least the ones here in the Delmarva area.
HAHA! they deserved to get shot down, they were invading the club's privacy.
I would expect hunt club members to be better shots!
Fine or Jail the Officials
Agree with animal rights group or not, everyone should agree with trespassing and invasion of privacy. Charges should be filed on the pilot, the government is considering using drones in the US in non combat situations. By not charging an individual with invading your property, the government is opening the door to spy on you!
There should be a group effort to push the government to press charges as well as a civil law suit filed.
I say the Activists should try yet again. Isn't four the limit for bagging drones while they are still in season? Who knows, maybe doing the same knuckle-headed maneuver over and over will yield different results THIS time. <chuckle>
Yea, maybe they can hit more than the battery next time
[This poster has been suspended.]
What kind of asshole thinks shooting birds right as they're released from cages as some sort of "sport"????? I've been a hunter for many years but only for food and NEVER part of a "shooting fish in a barrel" scenario...or for a 'trophy'. Lots of big tough guys here with their big tough gunz. Bah.
Finally someone I agree with. I used to be a deer hunter and I have no problem with people hunting for food, but I do have a problem with hunting for sport - when you aren't eating the animal or using something from it - and just killing it to kill it. On top of this these birds are not even out in the wild, they are being released from cages - what is the challenge? Why not go skeet shooting or use clay pigeons? All I am seeing here are a bunch of rednecks at a club that are probably jealous of a pigeon that is more well endowed than them - that is why they have to shoot it. Does it make them "more of a man"? They are all probably married to their cousins and sisters and can't produce children.
It's call squab. Pigeons are considered a delicacy in the cullinary world, especially in France. Now you don't know whether the good old boys down at the Rod and Gun Club, collect those birds at the end of the day and invite a celebrity chef to dazzle them. So, let's lighten up and not turn this into a dick measuring contest.
It's called squab in the cullinary world. Pigeon are a delicacy in France, and may be considered quite tasty down at the Rod and Gun Club. You don't know whether they gather them for a fine french dinner or not, do you. So, perhaps it's time to lighten up, and stop with the dick measuring contest.
Well said, Richard.
Dick Measuring Contest? - funny that the place is called the "Rod and Gun Club" - three of the four words in the name of that place sound pretty subliminal.
I have a feeling that members of the Rod and Gun Club don't care much for anything "French" or than a style of kiss they did with their sister growing up.
I think we just heard from another arogant obama voter.
You just had to bring Obama into it!!!
Nope never voted Democrat in my life.
Sure you haven't...Guess what, no one believes you.
could have fooled everyone here
so you are going to stereotype anyone who is against dirty "cheating" style hunting and anyone against cruelty to animals as being an Obama supporter? So you are saying that all conservatives are unethical towards the treatment of animals? That sounds like something an Obama supporter would say too.
Question again is - why can't this be done with clay pigeons if you want target practice? Yes there are conservative/libertarian minded people on here that are against animal cruelty, which this basically amounts to. This is not hunting. This isn't showing skill by releasing caged animals in basically a captive environment. If you want to shoot ducks out in the wild ethically and you plan on eating the meat, I have no problem with that. But just releasing animals from cages for target practice and sport I have a problem. What I see at this club is a bunch of bucktooth inbreds just trying to prove their manhood that they are insecure about.
No, I'm talking about your snobbish attitude about a bunch of guys that don't fit in to your image of the perfect human being. Putting labels on anyone doesn't serve you well. The guys with the drones are doing the same. Pigeons are a game animal that many hunters seek. Since you personally don't agree with it doesn't make it wrong, immoral or illegal. The birds, if not consumed by humans will be consumed by another life form, hence the circle isn't broken. I personally wouldn't hunt the way these guys do, but it their life, not mine. Leave them alone. If not, your drone will be shoot down too.
Well, it's not their life they are shooting at. I would be more than happy if they were shooting each other... And then I'd rather leave them there to get consumed by another life form and thus the circle will continue.
As for the conservatives/democrats issue, anyone who'd on the fanatical side is always wrong. It doesn't matter what you are. But as a philosophical exercise, some rednecks (usually dumb people with manhood issues) are mostly conservatives. But not all conservatives are rednecks...
Seems to me they wrote the article about shooting down a drone not the style of hunting pigeons or squab. Leave law enforcement to law enforcers before someone get's hurt. The guys with the spy plane must have pissed somebody off or they would be investigating the hunting practice or maybe they already have and found them legal.
So why kill something with the chance of making it suffer (ie bad shot just injures the bird, doesn't kill it) just to leave it to die in pain? Just so some hayseeds can have fun? That's not immoral? Go out in the wild -shoot quail, ducks, geese the moral way and consume it or give it to a homeless shelter, don't leave it dead on the ground.
Wow, I was having a good day til you showed up. Go ruin someone's Thanksgiving. I'm out.
I don't agree with a lot of the stuff you post, but you're right on this one.
Maybe they should start arming those drones and fire back
National Geographic can to a TV show about the air war to save the pigeons.
Actually that would Animal Planet - could do an episode called "Pigeon Wars" based on Whale Wars and have the drones shoot off those rotten egg things that the Whale Wars guys would throw at the Japanese boats. They could get themselves a little F-22 Stealth looking drone like the Audy Gil boat.
I woulda done the same
Is there a bag limit for drones? I think not. Break out your check-books boys; I'll shoot every one of the little gnats I see.
When will drones start shooting back?
Did they glue antlers on it to make it an easier target? At least they tried to send the message that they were not harming any animals.
Has anyone considered where the bullets might land? Using a rifle is endangering people for miles around when shot skyward. The local LEO should be going after the shooters for that. Now using a shotgun is another matter, for the pellets may not fly beyond the private property. That is why some jurisdictions require shotguns for deer hunting to limit the range of the projectile. Regardless of the animal rights people, the LEO should be protecting the peoples rights not to take a bullet from the sky.
You are absolutely right about shooting a rifle into the sky. My impression was that it was a shotgun, but I don't know that it was fully spelled out. Nevertheless, I think the remote-controlled 'copter needed plunkin'. Just one man's opinion, though.
That occurred to me too. Local rules vary, but the target- er RC chopper was above the road so around here this would apply:
Calif Fish & Game code
§ 3004. Shooting Near Building; Safety Zone; Shooting Over or Across Public Road or Way Open to Public
(b) It is unlawful for any person to intentionally discharge any firearm or release any arrow or crossbow bolt over or across any public road or other established way open to the public, in an unsafe and reckless manner.
I don't fly RC's but am told that they are given strict airspace limits vertically and horizontally. People get killed every year when one of them bores a hole thru their guts. Just like you can't fly your plane below 500' over someone's house, they too have airspace limitations. If they are flying within shotgun range over someone's head on that someone's private property- BANG!
What is the difference between UAV and a multi rotor RC helicopter? I think this operation is demeaning to real UAV's.
These activists should increase their presence and film the TSA at any airport.
New version of "Sporting Clays", "Sporting UVs"!!!
The "SHARK" activists might be liberal pukes but they're as big of rednecks as the pigeon shooters. Hearing phrases like "Come on out boy!", "Come on Son!" (that you would normally hear on the wrong rural road in Alabama) come from that nearly Canadian accent is really strange.
Show me the law!
Are we even sure that these alleged "pigeon shoots" are actually going on? I haven't seen one bit of evidence other than some fanatics claiming so. Could very well be a sporting clay match and this is just a bunch of anti-gun zealots pulling the heart strings of the general public. I's shot that sucka down too!
I'm sure all these animal rights activists know the difference between the sound of a rifle cartridge and a shotgun shell too......ya right
It looked like a pigeon to me.
Am I the only one thinking: this could lead to air-to-air engagements? Opens up a whole new market for private drone warfare.
Since the pigeons are defenseless, I think they should arm the drones and the order should be that the drones can return fire when fired upon! That would be a good video watching the hunters become the hunted.
Where was evidence of the claimed shootdown? I heard shots -- at a target shooting event, imagine that -- and a hard landing, followed by verbal incitement. Taunting people with firearms...genius!
I don't see why this forum feels that destruction of private property is such a hoot. I'm cool with hunting but let's not be children here.
Kids will be kids...
Or "I may be getting older but I refuse to grow up"
We are all kids with big toys
The private property was violating the rights of the shooters. It's not the destruction of the drone that is so satisfying as it is the pay back to the activists and their attempt at being a high tech tattletale. What gives the activists the right to overfly an area specifically to photograph what they think might be illegal activity. Law enforcement isn't allowed to do that. The Drone in some ways was a "threat" and the club members neutralized the threat.
Its the invasion of the airspace over a private area for no reason other than to do what they did in the vidio. If you watch one of them on line they try calling out those people on the private land taunting them.
They may own the land, but not the airspace over the land.
Are you sure about that?
It would be nice if the smart people in this discussion could look at the real issues here:
1) with the emergence of drone technologies, what new air regulations are necessary to manage their use, for safety as well as for privacy?
2) would it ever be appropriate for FAA to protect a pigeon-shoot or other activities by imposing a TFR? What activities fit, and which do not?
3) should animal rights activists instead fly a helo over the pigeon-shoot and thus endanger human life? I.e., where do the present regs stand on their right to hover and at what altitudes, without violating any FAR's? Could they legally pass over at 500'AGL with a larger camera and record?
4) in the big picture, is there a value to the general Public in transparency, wherein we should not discourage collection of video via drone, in matters such as pigeon-shoots (or pollution, etc.)? If so, do we want to rely on government officials to use drones and produce that video, or would we prefer to empower free citizens to do so, as has happened in Pennsyvania courtesy of Mr. Hindi?
5) where are the regs that allow the destruction of a drone? And, are there legal obligations on the part of the local law enforcement to issue citations and otherwise attempt to cease this destruction?
6) given that GA private planes (especially helos) are far more intrusive than drones, is there a need for FAA to revamp air regs to protect privacy and/or to maximize the efficient use of aviation technologies for Public information?
From my own perspective, I applaud this use of drones. I appreciate we have the freedom to challenge stupid activities such as pigeon-shoots. And I would much prefer we rely on concerned citizens to do this data collection, and not on FAA or police or other governmental entities, which all too often tend to serve one interest too narrowly.
Just what we need, another 2100 pages of new regulations. Re: #5 where are the regs. that allow an undeputized individual to spy on a person on their own private property. If you mounted game cameras on trees you could expect their destruction if found. Under certain circumstances you should expect to be shot at if you are on my property collecting information against me. If you fly a picture taking drone over my property you can expect it to disappear or be destroyed.
'From my own perspective, I applaud the the right to defend my freedom, liberty and privacy.' Your final sentence reminds me of the attitude in Germany before WWll. We'll have citizens collecting evidence against citizens. Maybe we should find a minority to eliminate. There are game wardens and police to collect evidence. Leave the job to them. You may have the ability to adapt a child's toy to collect evidence for your favorite cause, but expect the penalties that I might deem appropriate for a warrant-less search.
next time your wife is getting a little sun in the back yard, we'll put a drone overhead. You don't mind, do you?
Bubba: Hey Billy Bob... check out the size of that pigeon!
Billy Bob: Yeehaw... lets shoot it down, maybe my cousin...err my wife will finally see me as a man!!!
good one... :)
well they shoulda been flyin higher or go find a real hobby
Next time one of those drones get shot down, the guy controlling it should crash land it in the parking area and aim for the windshield of one of those redneck's pick up trucks.
What I don't understand is why they only shot it once. I would have emptied my shotgun into the thing and once it was on the ground, hit it with another three shots.
You're one of those keyboard gangstas, I see...
Protect something that really needs help like elephants, rhinos, tigers etc.
Trespassing is another issue.
Jordan - there are plenty of dogs too, but we don't allow "sportsman" to release them from cages and blast them for target practice. It's not protection for population numbers, its ethical treatment and standards that is in question.
To all guys and gals who raise the privacy question: the club and its patrons were actually those who violated the law, but the district attorney is reluctant to prosecute them. The activists were gathering evidence, legally or not.
You'll need to explain that better. The club didn't violate anything unless there was a conspiracy to violate some law during a general meeting and then I'm not so sure. What law did the members violate?
These people are in violation of private property rights.
In most states,real estate is infinity to the sky as well as to the earth.
So if another party wishes to use an aircraft to intrude on the property owner's private space, they do so at their own risk.
Who really cares, pigens are just rats with wings, sort of like sea gulls. I do agree that it seems less than sporting to shoot them just as they are released from a cage. Now as for shhoting down the drone, that sounds like fun. It appears that the drone in this artical was only wounded, when the next one comes over, loose the bird shot and switch to 00 buck. That should do it.
It appears that I can't spell. Let's make that pigeons, not pigens.
and artical, and shhoting, and loose. Try the spell check, Dave. '- )
Pretty bad is it not? That is what happens when you do not proof read what you write.

Drone shooting sounds sporting to me ...
Shoot them all down! This is Pandora's Box. You all know what the government will do with these things. And by the way we have judges who have said we do not have the expectation of privacy in our homes and automobiles. Talk about big brother.
Agreed. If you don't think I have an expectation of privacy in my home and on my property, you can expect to have your drone destroyed.
They ought to set up a TFR over it, so those idiots can get violated! Maybe then the activists could go take up another brainless cause that doesn't make a difference in society.
Need to start aiming for the activists.
Frankly I'm nore concerned with these idiots smacking their drone into a airliner full of people. Did they get FAA clearance to fly the thing??? Right now it's hard enough for legitimate uses like University experiments in the spread of various pathogens.
You obviously know nothing about aviation and FAA regulations, sir.
