WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) --- The most frequently-asked question following the Friday shootings at a Connecticut elementary school has been: Why?
There may be no easy or comprehensive answers but one Washington educator thinks he knows a major contributing factor.
Why are we so violent?
"One reason is we are not taught alternatives to violence, so people get through all our schools and never hear that there are other ways to solve conflicts without using fists, guns, armys, bombs and nukes. If you don't know how to do it, then you can't do it.
"So, I've been teaching courses for 30 years on alternatives to violence. I've had at least 11,000 students over those years but I'm just one lone guy out there doing that. If we took peace education seriously, every school beginning in first grade, second grade, third, right right on through elementary school, middle school, high school, college would offer these courses as basic parts of our education system, but it's not happening," said Colman McCarthy, who teaches courses on peace and alternatives to violence at DC and Maryland schools.
Why aren't the courses a regular part of American education?
"You have to ask the school boards that, okay? Because they keep pushing math and science. Let's teach sociology and history, or let's teach peace education.
"To talk to the school boards and talk to members of congress, and talk to Arne Duncan ( The US Education Secretary) and Michelle Rhee ( the former DC Schools Chancellor) and ask them. I've been doing this for 30 years and I don't worry about being successful, I worry about being faithful...Evidently people that fund our schools don't care about it," McCarthy told 9News.
McCarthy says the education has to begin in the earliest grades.
9News asked how you reach a 14-year-old who spends hours playing violent video games
"Well, we've already had him in first grade, ideally, and taught him about mediation. We've already had him in second grade. It's the same way you don't take a 14-year-old and start teaching him math. You've already had him in the first grade taking math, and second grade.
"So, we teach math all through school. It's the same principle. If you teach peace education, maybe the boy would not be so interested in violent video games," McCarthy said.

FAIRFAX, Va. (WUSA9) -- If you think sex trafficking isn't a problem in your community, think again.
Police say it's a growing trend and that young girls often don't realize they are victims because the traffickers convince them they are offenders.
Now, a federal grant will help combat the problem in Northern Virginia.
Prostitution or human trafficking doesn't always look like you think it does. It may be going on in your neighborhood, with local high school girls being sold, says Fairfax county Detective Bill Woolf.
"I've seen victims from several high schools throughout Northern Virginia. I would say that our kids in each and every high school are vulnerable to the trafficker's deceptions," said Woolf.
Victims come from all walks of life, from rich families to poor families. One girls had a 3.9 grade point average. But they do have common characteristics that make them vulnerable to the traffickers.
They target teenage girls, and sometimes boys, who have low self esteem, no self identity, don't participate in sports or other activities, and kids who don't have strong family connections.
Traffickers often trick girls like this using what's called the "boyfriend" method, says Detective Woolf.
"It's not appropriate for a 26-year-old boy to date a 14-year-old girl. It's not appropriate for him to buy her things because this might be him grooming her for some type of exploitation," said Woolf.
Today, The Northern Virginia Task Force received a $1 million grant from the Justice Department to combat human trafficking. Half of it will go to the Polaris Project which helps victims.
"Last year in 2012, we served 88 survivors of trafficking from the region, 25 whom were children," said Bradley Myles, the CEO and Executive Director of the Polaris Project.
The other half goes to the Fairfax County police department to coordinate local, state and federal efforts.
"We have upped the penalties. We've gotten more aggressive with legislation to make sure we can punish them more aggressively so that we changed this calculus for the gang members. We make it more expensive for them; we make it riskier for them. And this grant will increase our ability to find and prosecute them," said Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli.
Over the past two years, The U.S. Attorney's office for has successfully prosecuted 24 federal cases against 57 defendants engaged in human trafficking in Northern Virginia. The cases involved 388 victims of sexual exploitation, 38 were children.
If you know someone who may be caught in human trafficking, here's the national hotline number, 1-888-3737-888.

Hey, good looking pizza there. I got to go and get something to eat
These are some table and chair presets that I made. Most of the chairs are from pictures I took and the tables are wood textures I Photoshopped into tables.
Do you prefer the tables empty or do you like them with plates cups and food on them?
I have a lot more of this kind of preset elements for battlemaps, if you are interested please let me know.

Hey, good looking pizza there. I got to go and get something to eat
These look really good, thanks for posting! Do you have examples of a chair fully exposed rather than being partly under the table? Have some rep!
It's great to see you and some of the others among us who post at the Dundjinni forums here. As I've mentioned before, with Dundjinni itself being out of business at present, there always is the danger that the forums one day might vanish. The guild here is a good alternative, if and when that happens.

Thanks, glad you like them. Yes I have these and many other chairs and tables by themselves. Here are a nice selection of chairs and a few tables for you. The jpg pic is just a sample sheet of everything in the ZIP file. I made all the tables from wood textures, mostly from cgTextures.com. The chairs are all real chairs I took pictures of. You are free to use them as you wish.
Nicely done...

And the fluff
The world is one of humans, with the addition of ghosts, spirits (both good and bad, including the spirit-ridden from Predators), vampires and Werewolves. Mages do not exist, but thaumaturgy is commonplace and professional thaumaturges of various sorts are common. Psychics are optional, and the rituals and Cultists of the Reality Bending Horrors chapter of Second Sight are a necessity.
The First Empire was ruled by ridden Priest Kings. This ancient and superstitious regime was eventually destroyed by a combination of a massive attack by the werewolves, combined with attacks by rival spirits and then the swift but brutal coup by the Vampires.
The Vampire-controlled Empire of Night ruled the settled lands from approximate 900 BP to 87 BP. The Vampires had previously be hidden, but large-scale urban growth during the First Empire, had both allowed their numbers to grow rapidly and had also allowed them to congregate in groups of up to a dozen and begin to plan. As the werewolves and spirits were destroying the outskirts of the First Empire, the Vampires, with their small armies of powerful ghouls and their previously secret ghoul bloodlines soon drove back the werewolves and then established their rule over the settled lands.
The Empire of Night
Humanity soon began plotting rebellion against undead overlords who both executed criminals by draining them of blood and who also regularly fed from their populace in a new and gruesome form of tax. However, vampiric rules was not without benefits technology advanced rapidly and the vampires encouraged sorcerers, who were off-course carefully controlled by Domination and Presence, to explore the limits of human magic. Because a large and healthy populace allowed for both the existence of more vampires and was more enjoyable to feed from, the vampires made a special effort to advance medicine and sanitation, and soon advanced plumbing and excellent sanitation were available in all but the smallest and most isolated communities. In addition, physicians were trained by vampires with literally hundreds of years of knowledge of blood, injury, and disease.
In addition to keeping order, fostering the growth of cities and commerce, and making deals with city spirits for streetlights and protection from fire, the vampires also placed a few strict limits on their mortal subjects. Dealing with ghosts was forbidden, only the vampires could deal with the dead. As was unlicensed traffic with spirits, werewolves, or the spirit-ridden. All of these became capital crimes, as did experimenting with gunpowder firearms.
The Rebellion
Although vampires were hideously vulnerable during the day, surrounded as they were by small armies of blood-bound ghouls addicted to their vitae made them exceedingly difficult targets. Planning the Rebellion took more than 40 years and only started in the aftermath of three discoveries. Vampires saw much use in firearms, especially for defending their empire against werewolves and the spirit-ridden. However, they were reluctant to embrace weapons that could be used to harm them. As a result, they encouraged the production of powerful, rapidly firing air guns, which had distinct advantages over gunpowder weapons, but did not require the use of fire and that were relatively harmless to vampires. However, secret research on cannon and gunpowder firearms continued and eventually resulted in flamethrower rounds and incendiary grenades. At the same time, research on thaumaturgy continued and thaumaturges finally found a way to use their magics to protect against Vampire Disciplines they were helped in this by a few members of the ghoul bloodlines (dhampirs) who were immune to vampiric control and wished to help overthrow their rule. Finally, shamans and bokor learned to make special deals with spirits, and especially with ghosts (including the ghosts of those murdered by vampires, who were eager for revenge).
Although knowledge of this was kept secret from the public, one of the key events leading up to the rebellion was its discovery by the Vampire Lord of Varnak. This vampire was one of the eldest of the vampires, who dated from the days of the formation of the Empire of Night. This vampire believed that the other vampires had grown decadent and careless and was also eager to eliminate most of its rivals and to bring most of the remainder under control. In part, it aided the rebels because it knew that the other vampires were plotting against it. Thinking it aged and outmoded, they planned to slay it and divide up Varnak between its two neighboring kingdoms. In return for a promise that the rebels would leave Varnak alone, it aided the rebels with its ghouls and its potent disciplines.
In 167 BP, half an hour before sunrise on the Summer Solstice, the rebellion began. The vampires were attacked as they were getting ready to flee the sun, and after the sun rose, the longest day of the year was host to pitched battles between humans and their dhampir allies against the armies of loyal dhampirs, ghouls, blood-addicted thaumaturges and soldiers, and other loyal subjects. Massive aid by allied spirits and hordes of angry and hungry ghosts, combined with incendiary ammunition and protective magics turned the tide and all but a handful of the vampires were slain throughout the empire. The survivors fled, some into the wilderness, others into the surviving kingdom of Varnak, where they were offered the grim choice of being refused entry or blood-bonding themselves to this land's lord. A few of these refugees managed to set up small kingdoms in isolated and easily-defended mountain villages, but most died the final death. Today, Varnak remains the sole-vampire controlled kingdom, with the exception of a few small settlements on the edges of civilization ruled by vampire refugees.
Recent History
Raids by ghouls and occasionally vampires continue on the borders, as do raids by werewolves and barbarian tribes lead by spirit-ridden leaders. However, the lands of the Summer Empire (as it is now called) are relatively secure. Since the Rebellion, the various nations have become somewhat less closely tied together, and while they still have pacts of free trade and mutual defense, they are no longer under the same unified rule as when the vampires ruled. Also, while the various branches of thaumaturgy is now licensed only in the way that any other Guild is, people fear both hostile magic and also the mad cultists who seek out strange and reality-twisting rituals to honor their foul patrons. To keep order, there is a police force that regularly employs thaumaturges in its attempts to hunt down cultists, rogue thaumaturges, vampires, ghouls, and the spirit-ridden.
Because of their essential role in the rebellion, dhampirs are tolerated, but their distinctive appearance, combined with their connection to vampires has caused most people to view them with suspicion and occasional dread. They are full members of society, but prejudice is not uncommon.
Because the Empire of Night was ruled by a few noble vampiric bloodlines, the entire concept of hereditary rule and inherited aristocracy has fallen out of favor. As a result, the Summer Empire is fiercely republican and consists of a patchwork of small republics ranging from ones where franchise is open to everyone, to lands where only wealthy landowners or business owners can vote. There are even two elective monarchies, but for the moment, at least hereditary leadership is not considered an acceptable form of government.
The growing power of the merchant classes and the continuing exploration of the world has had a major impact on government. Wealthy merchant adventurers are lionized both because of the excitement generated by tales of distant lands and the general preference for individuals who make their own fortune over hereditary wealth, which reminds people too much of the vampires who used to rule them. While the hatred of both hereditary wealth and aristocracy are fading now that that several generations have passed since the fall of the Empire of Night, the memories of the old and the continued presence of the isolated, vampire-ruled kingdom of Varnak reminds younger people of the dangers of both institutions. Nevertheless, there is evidence of a nascent aristocratic revival in several nations within the Summer Empire. In addition, the corruption and demagoguery of the current government has some longing for the tales of stability they heard about the Empire of Night and so ghouls from Varnak are in the process of recruiting followers.
The Empire of Night allowed complete religious freedom, except that worship of Lyral, the Sun Goddess was suppressed for obvious reasons and was replaced by her brother, Tyan, the Night King. In the Empire of Night, worship of Tyan, who was the patron of the vampires, was one of the two dominant faiths the other being an elemental religion that worshipped the Burning Woman, the Mermaid, the Bird Boy, and the Earth Lord. In addition, there were a multitude of small and highly secret mystery cults for urban sophisticates, mostly involving the worship of spirits, where the cult takes a spirit as their totem and well as similar rural cults that appeal to farmers and similarly humble folk and so are regarded as vastly inferior to the mystery cults. Both were illegal because the vampires feared humans making deals with spirits. Membership was punishable by death, although most rural cults were easily ignored. Both the urban and the rural mystery cults greatly aided the Rebellion, as did the secret but still popular cult of Lyral.

Inequity and the Distinguished Warfare Medal
Meet Staff Sergeant Maurice Scott, a special operations Marine and a hero. His heroism is of the variety one sees in TV and movies, but few ever get a chance to see in real life. In September of 2010, Staff Sergeant Scott was serving as a Joint Terminal Attack Controller, Marine Special Operations Team 8133, Marine Special Operations Company Charlie, 1st Marine Special Operations Battalion, in Farah province, Afghanistan.
During a night helicopter raid into an insurgent stronghold on 6 September 2010, Staff Sergeant Scott employed supporting aircraft to great effect to disrupt activities and sever supply lines. Using aircraft sensors, he guided his unit to their security positions. As the sun rose, both security positions came under ruthless assault by enemy forces intent upon regaining their sanctuary. Coordinating bomb, rocket, and gun attacks from the aircraft overhead, Staff Sergeant Scott held off the enemy assaults while observing from an exposed position that sustained withering fire from the insurgents. With the adjacent element pinned down by mortar fire, Staff Sergeant Scott spotted and eliminated an insurgent cave position with the employment of a missile strike, enabling the element to regain security. Hours later the attack began again when insurgents fought at close range with hand grenades. Leaping to the wall he engaged the enemy with his weapon while directing aerial gun runs that were dangerously close to friendly forces. His bold actions broke the back of the assault, causing the enemy to break off their attack.
For his actions he was awarded the Bronze Star medal with "V" for valorous actions.
Scott is the kind of hero we've come to expect from our men and women singled out for their actions; humble and willing to share credit.
"You can't attribute the success of the mission to one individual," Scott said. "Everyone is actively involved in the process. It represents the achievements of our team." Scott, a former Army Ranger, has served three deployments to Iraq and two to Afghanistan.
The Bronze Star is awarded for either meritorious service or combat heroism. The bronze "V" is a combat distinguishing device for acts of combat heroism or valor.
"There was excellent leadership at the team level," Scott said. "That's what allowed us to perform with accuracy."
The Bronze Star recipient, whose father was an Army lieutenant colonel, had a military upbringing and realized his own military career when he was 18.
What seems absurd though is that if any of the aerial fires mentioned in the citation were from drones, the pilot of that drone, (located somewhere within the US) will be retroactively eligible for a medal which outranks SSG Scott's in order of precedence.
I received a Facebook message from a friend last night agreeing with what I had written yesterday, but noting that in some instances people seem to be denigrating the drone pilots (which he refers to as RPA or "Remotely Piloted Aircraft") instead of targeting the award itself. As he said:
First, I'm 100% in agreement it should be lower on the rack. I would put it just below the Aerial Achievement Medal. But that being said, some of the anger is being completely mis-directed at the RPA crews themselves. There is a misconception going around that if someone walked into one of the RPA pods it would resemble Sheldon, Leonard, Raj, and Howard [characters from the TV show "The Big Bang Theory"] sitting around eating takeout on HALO night. Now, I'm not an RPA guy, my base accounted for the bulk of RPA combat enragements last year. I know these guys, and I assure they aren't the high school AV squad…. I also find it ironic that in expressing their anger about the precedent of a medal, so many ground ops guys are choosing to lambast guys who had surely didn't make the decision. That's because they are busy working six or seven days per week providing real-time reconnaissance and firepower to those same ground operators to keep them safe. And the misconception that these guys are sitting on the deck of the Starship Enterprise sipping mint juleps is nonsense.
He makes a fair point that we should remember. These guys do an absolutely invaluable service, and do it with the expertise we've come to expect from all the men and women of the military today. So, when we complain about the order of precedence of the medal, we need to make abundantly clear that it isn't the servicemembers we criticize, but rather an awards system that would place heroism without actual danger above that displayed by our people actually on the ground risking life and limb.
Today I took part in a "Bloggers Roundtable" discussion with the DoD about this medal. I was the first person on the call, and I asked two questions. Actually, I asked the same question twice, and didn't get the response I hoped for either time. I suspect I might not be invited back to their Roundtables.
My question was this:
What actions would warrant this medal that would be so above the criteria for a medal like an MSM?
The MSM, or "Meritorious Service Medal" is authorized for anyone "who, has distinguished himself or herself by outstanding meritorious achievement or service… while serving in a non-combat area [or]…for outstanding non-combat meritorious achievement or service in a non-combat or combat area."
The new Distinguished Warfare Medal would be authorized "'extraordinary achievement' directly tied to a combat operation but at a far remove from the actual battlefield." By way of example, the DoD cited these two possibilities:
"The most immediate example is the work of an unmanned aerial vehicle operator who could be operating a system over Afghanistan while based at Creech Air Force Base, Nev. The unmanned aerial vehicle would directly affect operations on the ground. Another example is that of a soldier at Fort Meade, Md., who detects and thwarts a cyber attack on a DOD computer system."
The lady hosting the phone call today, who works for the Office of Secretary of Defense, said that the DWM is higher in precedence, and is to honor a singular act of "heroism" (her word) that affected combat operations.
I still don't see a distinction. It seems the MSM could have been awarded to either of the two DWM examples, and it would have been appropriate. Why create an award higher than the one that exists, which is even higher than the actions of those facing death, bodily injury etc? Well, according to her, this was the unanimous recommendation of the service chiefs and service secretaries.
I find that difficult to believe. You're telling me every one of the service chiefs felt it was appropriate for a drone pilot to get an award higher than that of the JTAC on the ground (like SSG Scott) who was engaging in small arms fire, dodging grenades and coordinating fires? I find that difficult to believe.
However, if you want unanimity of opinion, then look no further than the veterans organizations.
It's pretty much common sense, a medal for drone warfare should not be senior in ranking to medals that are earned by troops who are in harm's way. It should not take precedence over the Purple Heart or Bronze Star as proposed by the DoD. While the medal – which could be earned for extraordinary service to the war effort by launching drones or cyber warfare attacks from places like Nellis AFB in Las Vegas or Tampa, Fla. – is certainly worth considering – it should not rank higher than medals that often cost American lives to earn.
John Hamilton, the VFW's commander-in-chief, said in a statement that his organization "fully concurs that those far from the fight are having an immediate impact on the battlefield in real-time," but added that "medals that can only be earned in direct combat must mean more than medals awarded in the rear."
Military Order of the Purple Heart:
"To rank what is basically an award for meritorious service higher than any award for heroism is degrading and insulting to every American combat soldier, airman, sailor or Marine who risks his or her life and endures the daily rigors of combat in a hostile environment," the order said in a prepared statement.
The DoD conference call left me with no doubt that this medal was going through, regardless of what anyone thinks about it. But you simply cannot convince me that no matter how great the service of these drone pilots, no matter how many lives each of them saves, that it is somehow more worthy of a medal than the actions of SSG Scott. I thank God that we do have such experienced drone operators out there looking out for my ground pounding brothers, but I don't see how their service (no matter how incredible and life saving) warrants something higher than a Meritorious Service Medal.
UPDATE: Reminder from Ed in the comments below, there is a petition you can sign to get this looked at by White House which you can sign AT THIS LINK.
Lower the precedence of the new Distinguished Warfare Medal
The Pentagon is introducing a new medal to recognized the service of pilots of unmanned drones during combat operations. This medal will be placed in precedence order just below the Distinguished Flying Cross and just above a Bronze Star Medal. Bronze Stars are commonly awarded with a Valor device in recognition of a soldier's service in the heat of combat while on the ground in the theater of operation. Under no circumstance should a medal that is designed to honor a pilot, that is controlling a drone via remote control, thousands of miles away from the theater of operation, rank above a medal that involves a soldier being in the line of fire on the ground. This is an injustice to those who have served and risked their lives and this should not be allowed to move forward as planned.

Distinguished Warfare Medal
In 68 I was nominated for the bronze Star in Viet Nam. It never came through and no one followed u[ on it. For quite a few years wished it had, because to me what transpired that day was a very important day in my life. I have since seen the Bronze star given out for what I often believe are questionable actions. This is the last straw. I am now glad I didn't receive it because I know what i did and that is enough. This just degrades the medal to the point that I don't care any more.

I am a Vietnam War Veteran. I think we have enough medals now. Without danger to one's self, how can there be valor? There is no doubt that the drone pilots are making a significant contribution to the war effort, but to rate that effort above those who win the Bronze Star for Valor is shameful.

Game Player's Medal
No way that a thumb pusher's medal should be rated higher than one that recognizes a person's valor. Besides, if a commander feels that game player deserves a medal, they already have a medal that I feel is appropriate - The Army Commendation Medal. I am a Vietnam vet and was awarded the Bronze Star with Valor for doing crater analysis out in the rice paddies while under fire.

Commendation Medals are
Commendation Medals are typically awarded to NCOs upon PCS, retirement, or separation. The job the RPA crews are doing merits far more than a simple Commendation Medal. It's definitely above the level as some SSgt who spent a tour folding towels in the gym.

I do believe there should be recognition for drone pilots, like a special skill badge, and maybe even this special award, dedicated to them, they are making major contributions to the war effort; but not in the order of precedence where this has been placed. They do not face the risks as others in the theater of operations, who are physically in harm's way.

I give cudos to the Drone Pilots and appreciate their advanced skills. They certainly should be rewarded for "service beyond call of duty"; however, not above the awards for direct combat where their own lives are in jeopardy.

opinion on drones
Hell I just dont know anymore... It is a ever changing world with ever changing battle fields... We all know drones, their pilots and the operators behind the pilots make a huge difference in the way warfare is conducted in a successful manner... I feel it is the medal and its place amongst the ground forces medals is where the problem lies... not to belay my Navy brothers, their ships and their service in time of war, but i think these pilots/support teams need to follow this path... Have the groups be honored with battle flags and other honors that directly reflect their efforts in the cause they so deserve... I see that these operators and teams, like a ship of mates, all to be honored but to understand that individual honor, sacrifice, and plain guts under fire is not what they went through... Ya just cant give them a CIB, bronze star or CMH to a guy who goes home after 8, works in a air conditioned office, and eats 3 hot meals a day not risking anything but a toy, in essence...

New medal drone pilots
I myself do not think that a drone pilot deserves a medal ranked higher than the bronze star. They are not on the front lines and really do not put their lives on the line like our foot soldier, pilots, and sailors do every day to protect our country and country.

The thought of a Drone Pilot being worthy of a medal of a higher rank than those earned in close up combat is apalling to say the least. While this new era of technology is excellent and certainly necessary in today's world, its' operator is essentially a person with great skills in computer guidance which is similar to a marksman, except he makes his perfect shot from thousands of miles away. Does the person that pushes a button to launch a missile with a predetermined target receive a medal for the accuracy of the device. No. Should the operator of an unmanned vehicle receive awards for accuracy of their devices. Yes as they require much more than just pushing the launch button. However, technically they are just people using a glorified Joy Stick to guide their device to accomplish the mission. They are not in anyway, shape or form in danger of being killed. Think of it. If the drone Pilot in Neveda, would suffer a heart attack would he be considered killed in action??? Would he then be qualified for the Medal of Honor? Come on folks let us use common sense, recognize our people for the skills they have. Are they Hero's? That is in the mind of the perciever for me, every man and women that is serving, or has served in the Military Service of our Country are "Hero's" for they have written that check to Uncle Sam for up to and including their life, they will go where they are told and they will do what is asked of them and then some. We Veterans know that all give some and some give all. Handle decorations properly. Drone Pilots should be recognized for their skill and accuracy no doubt about it. But the award should be commensurate with that skill and accuracy, not embellished by it.

Medals for drone pilots
It's nothing but PC. In school everyone gets trophies and awards for participation rather than keep score and accept the fact there are winners and losers. Now they're in the military and everyone should get recognized for participating. A few years ago they invented several new ribbons like the overseas ribbon, now a new medal.

I worked with drones during the Vietnam War flying from Bien Hoa RVN and U-Tapao, Thailand. In those days it was trying to outfly Migs chasing them on reconnaissance missions over North Vietnam and China. The drone "pilots" were in the DC-130 launch aircraft over the Tonkin Gulf or Laos in order to maintain contact with the drone during it's mission. Many drones came back with lots of holes from Migs or SAM attacks. There were no special "medals" in those days for drone pilots. I cannot understand why the service chiefs would allow a special award to be placed above the Bronze Star or Purple Heart other than to hope this action would help in their OERs from the politicians above them. It would be nice to see leadership for the military again.

Distinguished Wafare Medal
I am a Viet Nam Era veteran. I never left the continental US, so I'm not a Viet Nam vet. I worked 12 hour days 7 days a week training flight crews for combat. I did this by keeping aircraft at full readiness so they could acquire the skills to do their mission. I also trained other techs to do the same job in war zones on aircraft carriers. Because they floated of the shore of Viet Nam after I trained them, they wqualified for medals and benefits I never got. I served my country. I recieved no recognition for my work and because I didn't do it in a war zone I was denied benefits at a VA hospital. Does that seem fair, I think not, but life is not fair. My son-in-law is a drone pilot. Before that he flew f16's, but they needed drone pilots so he followed orders and became a drone pilot. I know what he had to go through for 6 years. They even did a segment on CNN about him. There is a great mental strain to sit in a little shack in the Nevada desert supporting the combat troops. They pull the trigger on men from afar, get in their cars, and go home to dinner with the family. The combat soldier lives it 24/7 and his head is in the combat mode while he is in country. The drone pilot is killing people during his work period and changing diapers at home. Is it easy to leave the horror of war and go home at night and then return to it day after day? I think not. Does it deserve this scale of recognition, again I think not. They do deserve recognition for their service, yes, but not to the level of placing it above a Bronze star, NO. When I am around combat vets I feel embarrassed to admit I never was in country, but really I shouldn't haqve too. I served my country according to what I was told to do to do my part in the war effort. Someone had to do it, but those of us who didn't have to rish our ass shouldn't be denied the same benefits for our service either. The pilot who flies the drone is a commissioned officer and he is the man or woman who is entrusted with the decision making to pull the plug on some people's lives. He or she sees the result of their decisions then goes home at night, that doesn't lessen the psychological pressures of war, but at the same time it doesn't place them at bodily risk. Just their sanity. All of us who have or still do serve our country have different reasons for doing so. Some out of duty, some to pursue recognition, some just to get an education, and so many other reasons we'll never even know. But we all deserve the same benefits and recognition for our basic service and medals are meant for the above the call of duty types that have excelled in the field or saving of lives. The techs that make the weapons of war efficient so that others can depend on them in the field are noteworthy but never recognized. But medals are and always have been reserved for the heroes that use them to glorify war and save their comrades.

Drone Pilots
Oh heaven forbid that SNCO;s were ever given control of a drone. I'm sure a Commissioned Offices must be the only ones who could possibly fly these with any skill on a mission. GIMME A BREAK most of the time the people who set up this type of equipment or do the testing with it are SNCO Tech's or NCO's under their supervision. Remember WWII when we had quite a few SNCO's flying the DC-3's? A college degree doesn't always make the individual qualified over one who doesn't have it. For the record, I am not a disgruntled enlisted man just making a point.

The reasoning for the requirement to be a commissioned officer has to do with the Geneva Conventions, or so I've been told.
Also, the degree doesn't make you smarter, but it does show that you're capable of learning advanced things like operating an aircraft. Today's aircraft aren't simple stick and rudder like those of yesteryear. Even the RPAs are complex machines that require a lot of training. As the enlisted Sensor Operator on the MQ-1 sitting alongside the pilot, I can tell you that they don't have it easy.

More specific on the reasoning: Must be an officer because they make decisions independent of a commander's control, due to distance and communications limitations.

Drone Pilots- metal of valor
Placing that award higher than the metal of Valor may be a mistake. Yes they do deserve recognition but of a different level as they are not in harms way while doing their respective assignments. I believe there should not be that equalization for the memories of those who suffered before the comfort of an office became common place.

Distinguished Warfare Unmanned Drone Pilot Medals
I think the pilots of unmanned drones deserve recognition for any distinguished or unusual operation of under their direct control that absolutely saved the lives of a large group of troops & equipment from harm by their flight management skills. I do not think any award they might be due should rank higher than the Bronze Star by any stretch of the imagination.
Mark (not verified)

Yet the Bronze Star is
Yet the Bronze Star is already diluted by being awarded for meritorious service in a combat zone, which makes it a non-valor award as well. It's typically awarded to field grade officers upon completion of a deployment. The Army even awarded a couple of them to a pair of Air Force Technical Sergeants who work in Fincance. At least the RPA crews are actually firing weapons at the enemy.

Medal for drone pilots
Let me try to get this straight. Drone pilots sitting in the United States getting a combat medal. That being the case, they should also get a Bronze Star for heroic meritorious service while engaged in combat against an enemy while serving in combat, Purple Heart should they get a paper cut while on duty, National Defense ribbon and the list could go on. Just for sitting in the US and more or less playing a computer game. Way to go Department of Defense, you once again showed how smart you are, maybe the DoD budget cuts will not be to bad after all if they cut people making decisions like this, and I'm sure there are a lot.

Distingushed Warefare Medal
Two problems with this medal; 1) It is inappropriately named. If the goal is to honor Drone Pilots for exeplerary service on 25 or more combat related missions, It should be named the "Drone Pilot Medal" or somthing similar that does not indicate combat or warefare, and 2) it should be ranked as many others have suggested - below a Bronze Star, perhaps about the same as an outstanding unit award..

I surely question the awarding of this "Medal" for unheroic action! If the government want's to award this medal for non-combact action, purly for a special assignment and outstanding service. Then I believe that I, and thousands of others, would qualify for this recognition of duty above and beyond the norm. As a Hospital Corpsman I was kept stateside for my expertise and educational skills. Transfers were stopped by our chief of service, a doctor with the rank of Capt. As Urology Tech. I took X-rays, assisted in clinic, assisted in minor and major surgries. When on call I would at times do proceedures that only a MD would be allowed to do in the real world. This of course was done within the hospital setting with all the best equipment. What about those who are in the field and must make do with what is on hand. Is flying a Drone in an aircondition room with nice chairs and the state of the art equipment as significant and honorable as relieving pain, assisting others to a better life and hearing that "Thank's Doc". Or is the "killing " of others more important! War denotes killing of others if neccessary, however, killing does not mean whole sale slaughter of possible inocent people. How can there be "Heroism" if you don't confront the enimy! Do they put their life on the line??? Too bad our leaders spend their time in an office, away from the real world!!!

flying UAV's are more dangerous than dodging bullets, LOL HAHAHA
I am not to discount any military member and the valor they show, but exactly how is a drone pilot in ANY danger on ANY mission they do???? I mean really, so a buddy, or medic that risks their life to pull me to safety is now less meaningful than someone flying a radio controlled fighter, where they are sitting in a building in Montana, but my buddy or the medic is in the midst of the bullets. I agree, where both may save lifes, where exactly is the risk to the UAV pilot? One more progressive way to pull military personal to their side so when they coupe of this Republic takes place they will have people on thier side willing to follow unlawful orders and violate the constitution. Personally, I would never accept such a medel, and for those about to blast me, while you are doing so, explain EXACTLY any risk you take during your flying of the remote controlled plane.

Distinguished Warfare Medal
The creation of an award for an extremely small group of military, cries out for like recognition for other small groups. How about a similar award for truck drivers, bus drivers, tug drivers, cooks, bakers and the Military police? Based on the justification for the "Distinguished Warfare Medal " there could be another 8 or 10 new awards! The point is that NO new award is justified, particularly for a specific group. The award for doing a good job has for many years been the Army Commendation Medal. Based on the actions required of drone jockeys I would submit that the ARCOM is very appropriate for those that don't fall asleep while at the "stick". To create an award that has higher precedence/esteem than the Bronze Star and Purple Heart would, in my mind, dictate high combat risk. Sitting in an air conditioned suite thousands of miles or even a hundred miles from the the combat zone does not in any way place the jockey in a highly dangerous combat position; for which high self sacrifice is expected. For me it is a particularly sensitive issue in that I was awarded both the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Bronze Star for actions in Vietnam. I flew the only manned drone type airplane, so far ever used in combat. In fact, I wrote a letter to Congress several years ago and recommended that the "Quiet Airplane" be sent to Iraq. The response I received was that the Army said they are using "drones" for that mission!!!!! There is NO way the current drones can perform the mission we performed in the Quiet Airplane.
Bottom line: it looks like Hagel is being pushed by both political parties in the Senate to make some changes or else.

Grove-McDonough Joins ISU Track & Field And Cross Country Staff
AMES, Iowa – Andrea Grove-McDonough, who quickly turned the Connecticut women's cross country team into a Top 10 program nationally, has joined the Iowa State coaching staff as Head Women's Cross Country and Assistant Track & Field Coach.
"Andrea is a superb addition to our staff and she will make an immediate and dramatic impact," Iowa State Director of Track & Field and Cross Country Martin Smith said Wednesday. "I was impressed with her ability to lead an incredible resurgence at UCONN and quickly identified her as the perfect candidate to further develop our outstanding foundation in distance running at Iowa State."
Grove-McDonough coached five seasons at UCONN as an Assistant Track & Field Coach, including the last two as Head Women's Cross Country Coach. Her 2011 Huskie team earned a national ranking for the first time in school history and last fall's team finished eighth (one spot ahead of Iowa State) at the 2012 NCAA Championship.
UCONN was second in both the 2012 BIG EAST Women's Cross Country Championship and the NCAA Northeast Regional Meet prior to earning the school's first-ever NCAA Championship bid. The Huskies also recorded their highest ever national ranking (14th) last fall.
"It's very humbling to have the opportunity to lead our women's distance program at Iowa State," Grove-McDonough said. "The Cyclones have a great tradition, both historically and in recent times, and I'm motivated to add to that legacy. It's also a great opportunity to work alongside Coach Smith, who is nationally recognized as one of the best in the business. Finally, the resources and facilities available at Iowa State position us to become one of the nation's best training centers for distance runners."
Grove-McDonough earned 2012 NCAA Northeast Regional Coach-of-the-Year and BIG EAST Coaching Staff-of-the-Year honors.
The UCONN program made steady progress with Grove-McDonough's guidance. Part of the growth included her team earning All-Academic recognition from the USTFCCCA three times.
On the track, the Huskies set school records in the 800m, 1,000m, 1,500m, 5,000m, 3,000m steeplechase and 10,000m during her tenure. She coached five All-Americans.
Prior to becoming a coach, Grove-McDonough had an outstanding professional running career. A two-time national titlist, she won the 2008 Canadian Olympic Trials in the 10,000 meters and ran the seventh-fastest time in that event in her nation's history. She ran professionally for 12 years and was a seven-time National Team member.
Grove-McDonough was ranked second in Canada in the 5,000 meters in 2002, 2006 and 2007 and first in the nation in the 10,000 meters in 2008. Her personal bests include: 2:07.12 in the 800m, 4:11.04 in the 1,500m, 15:31.29 in the 5,000m and 32:29.86 in the 10,000m.
As a collegiate runner at Minnesota, Grove-McDonough earned All-America honors in the 1,500m with a fifth-place finish at the 1996 NCAA Outdoor Championship. She was team captain from 1994-96 and earned Academic All-Big Ten honors. She earned her degree in Human Resource Management.
Upon graduation from college, she helped coach the women's and men's cross country teams at the University of Montana.
The native of Winnipeg, Manitoba, is married to former All-America decathlete Troy McDonough.

A new trend in footwear is giving patients an extra spring in their step. Thye're called Z-Coils and they've got some patients with chronic foot pain walking on air.
A steel spring in the shoes replaces the heel on Z-Coil shoes of every style. The purpose of Z-Coil is to relieve foot, knee and back pain. The steel coil kind of works like shocks absorbers on your car making you more stable than regular shoe while walking on an uneven surface.
The shoe has a built in orthopedic in the shoe to stabalize your foot and then that coil absorbs 50% impact and 40% energy return. The coils come in four strengths and adjustments are done when needed.
Z-Coils aren't cheap. They cost anywhere from $150 to $180 a pair. For more information log onto www.zcoil.com .

Authorities in Carteret County began taking steps Thursday to enforce a statewide ban on sweepstakes gaming as it went into effect.
The Carteret County Sheriff�s Office and Newport Police Department worked together to check on businesses operating as a sweepstakes caf� and numerous convenience stores where such gaming machines were operated.
According to a news release issued Thursday, two of the 13 businesses checked were out of compliance with the ban.
The N.C. Supreme recently upheld the constitutionality of the ban and a subsequent request by the gaming industry to stay the decision while it prepared a case for the U.S. Supreme Court was denied.
On its website, the N.C. Sheriff�s Association said that with denial of the stay, enforcement could resume on Jan. 3.
In Carteret County, the businesses that had operating machines agreed to comply with the ban without incident.
The Sweepstakes Warehouse, located at Courtesy Town Square in Newport, and H & D Express, located on N.C. 24 in Broad Creek, were cooperative and shut down machines upon request, the sheriff�s office said.
Of the 11 remaining businesses, some had locked doors with signs saying they were closed until further notice and others had machines already shut off and unplugged.
The Shop-N-Bag store on Chatham Street in Newport had its five machines covered in shrink wrap before authorities arrived.
Authorities note that anyone who violates the ban by putting machines back in operation may be charged with a Class I misdemeanor for the first offense, a Class H felony for the second offense and a Class G felony for a third or subsequent offense.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- Many Facebookers in their mid-to-late 20s remember the social networking site as being a platform designed only for connecting with other college students.
As the site continued to grow and its gates opened wider and wider, it's now a platform to connect with just about anyone with a working email address. Even grandparents are rocking the ever-popular Facebook.
According to a study by Pew, just 20 percent on average of peoples' Facebook friends are family members. There's so much we'd like to share with our families, but not necessarily with the other 80 percent, so a couple of guys got together and built a social site just for relatives to connect. FamilyLeaf.
According to a representative from the company, FamilyLeaf is different from Facebook in that it has more family-centric, easy-to-use features. "It's a place where the entire family, from grandparents to grandkids, can privately (and safely) communicate and share their lives," said Michael Simpson with FamilyLeaf in an email to THV 11.
In a write-up on USAToday.com, Nick Foley said, "Co-founders Ajay Mehta and Wesley Zhao found that once their parents joined Facebook, things got "weird." Forced to either navigate complex privacy settings or to block their relatives altogether, they aimed to create a space where families could connect online but away from the social-media frontlines."
It's a spot for families to swap stories and photos on a more consistent basis, rather than just at holiday functions. You can create photo galleries and share information between relatives in a private, online landing strip. Very cool!

WHEELING - John Marshall basketball coach Bill Storm had a succinct explanation for the Monarchs problems during Wednesday night's 63-51 loss to Wheeling Central Catholic.
''You can't score four points in a quarter of a high school basketball game and expect to win," Storm said as he stood outside his team's locker room.
After a well-played, competitive first half in which John Marshall trailed by just 33-30, the Monarchs and Maroon Knights traded baskets to start the third quarter as Central's David Park threaded the needle to Chance Siebieda for a layup and Tanner Filben countered with a short baseline jumper at the other end.

John Marshall's Dustin Whitfield (11) takes a shot over Wheeling Central's Brandon Wallace (44) during their game Wednesday night in Wheeling.
Central then exploded exploded on an 11-0 run and allowed the visitors just two more points the remainder of the third quarter to put the game out of reach. The Maroon Knights outscored John Marshall 20-4 during the period to open a 53-34 advantage heading into the final eight minutes. Early in the fourth quarter, the lead was extended to 23 points at 57-34, allowing the hosts to put things in cruise control the rest of the way.
The victory not only assured Coach Mel Stephens' club a sweep of the season series against John Marshall, it also improved Central's overall record to 7-8.
''The beginning of the third quarter was obviously the key," pointed out Stephens. ''John Marshall played well in the first half. They made some shots and kind of forced us to shoot a lot of jump shots from the perimeter. We came out in the third quarter and got on a pretty good run to get the lead. Once we got it out there, all we had to do was play even the rest of the way," Stephens.
It was also Senior Night for the Maroon Knights. The five graduating members of the 2012-2013 Central squad were honored prior to tipoff and then given the opportunity to start the game as a unit. Later, with the victory well in hand, Stephens took them out of the game one-by-one where they received hugs from the coaches and their teammates on the bench.
''In my 10 years here, I think this was the first time I had a chance to do that," Stephens explained. ''It made it kind of special for those guys and I was really pleased that all of them contributed to the win tonight."
Brian Felton, one of the five seniors making a final regular season home appearance, nailed a game-tying triple early in the first quarter and added another trifecta starting the second quarter to extend Central's 16-10 lead out to nine points. Brandon Wallace's six points and three of his four rebounds came during the third-quarter blitz while Siebieda and Justin Hammers tossed in six and five points, respectively.
Both teams had success firing away from the outside during the opening half as the Maroon Knights cashed six three-pointers and John Marshall nailed five shots from behind the arc, two each from Derek Och and Evan Magers while Dustin Whitfield also buried a triple. Central's first half treys came from Felton and David Park with two each, plus and one each by Chase Harler and David Stanley.
The Maroon Knights enjoyed as much as a 10-point advantage at 29-19 after Stanley's three-pointer midway through the second quarter before the Monarchs rallied to get within 33-30 when Magers came off a screen and buried his buzzer-beating shot from the right wing.
''Right after we had a positive ending to the half, we go out and score just four points in the third quarter," sighed Storm. ''We didn't block out on free throws twice and they made us pay by getting the rebounds and hitting three-point shots. We also missed two dead layups. Those are the things that have been hurting us all year," Storm added.
Although the struggling Monarchs saw their record drop to 3-8, Magers provided a bright spot by scoring 17 points. His big night included a 9-of-10 effort from the free-throw line. However, he was the only John Marshall player with a made foul shot as the rest of his teammates missed all five attempts.
Harler had another fine night for the Maroon Knights. The 6-2 freshman backcourter scored 18 points, including eight points in both the first and third quarters. Park also reached double digits with 13 points.
Racking up its fourth victory in the last five games after a 3-7 start, Central is now setting its sights on reaching the .500 mark and bolstering its chances of earning a berth in the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference Class 2A playoffs.
''We're getting there (.500)," Stephens said. ''We had a shot to do it last week but stubbed our toes a little bit. Even earlier in the year when we were struggling to win games, I saw signs that we were starting to come along."
The Maroon Knights have a couple of huge road hurdles this weekend with games against Linsly School on Friday night and Magnolia the following evening. Both teams defeated Central earlier this season.
John Marshall also swings back into action tomorrow evening when it returns to the home court to play Brooke.

An unlikely and controversial pair unites over their passion for music as Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati continues its 2012-2013 season with the regional premiere of Black Pearl Sings!. Written by Frank Higgins, the play tells the soulful story of a musicologist's endeavor to preserve traditional spiritual songs and the cultural experiences of an African-American inmate seeking freedom. Inspired by the real-life story of folklorist John Lomax and musician Huddie "Leadbelly" Ledbetter, Black Pearl Sings! plays March 13-31, 2013 and is directed by D. Lynn Meyers. LPK is Premiere Sponsor.
Set during the Great Depression, Susannah, an academic and song collector for the Library of Congress, travels the country, recording lost traditional songs. Hoping to find the one song that will bring her long-awaited recognition, she discovers Pearl Johnson in a Texas prison. With a silky, soulful voice and a wealth of African-American spiritual songs, Pearl seeks information along with a chance at freedom and at finding her lost daughter. The two women soon find themselves walking a delicate line between exposure and exploitation. Featuring beautiful a cappella renditions of African-American folk songs, this moving drama chronicles a powerful story about being a woman in a man's world, being black in a white world, and fighting for one's soul in a world where anyone can be a commodity.
"The most important thing to be about Black Pearl Sings! is how friendship can be based on mutual need," says ETC Producing Artistic Director D. Lynn Meyers. "The show is captured during the Great Depression, a time of great need and great change. Two women from very different backgrounds have to find their paths, not only in how to survive, but also how to succeed and thrive in that time," she continues. "I love that the script incorporates music into its core and that the music is a cappella. It makes for a really interesting situation."SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Black Pearl Sings PRIORITY:3END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR

Honolulu, HI (Sports Network) - If play didn't improve commissioner Roger Goodell threatened to expunge the Pro Bowl. The motivated players didn't want to be known as the group to lead to the game's cancellation and take away an honor for future participants.
Scoring was still aplenty, although effort was shown throughout in the NFC's 62-35 victory over the AFC. The past two years the game was played as if it was a bad walkthrough.
The NFC's 62 points was a new Pro Bowl single-game mark, set last season by the AFC, who tallied 59 points. Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph, a late entrant for Atlanta Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez, was named the game's MVP with a touchdown and 122 yards receiving on five receptions.
Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt went out for a pass as a wide receiver and retiring Green Bay Packers center Jeff Saturday lined up on the AFC side for one play to snap to his longtime teammate Peyton Manning.

-- Grady County, Ga. -- February 26, 2013 --
Grady County resident Kevin Griffiss said "there's a lot of water on the roads. There's, you know, a lot more to look out for. Also hydroplaning."
That's what has people concerned including emergency management director Jim Ellis. He said as much as twenty inches of rain pummeled Grady County. A total of five roads are also closed including Lower Cairo Road, Martin Lane and Cranford Road. But there's water on many more. Which makes the chances of hydroplaning all the more real.
Ellis said "the rule of thumb is to turn into the spin. Try not to hit your breaks cause that's going to accelerate your spin. But to take your foot off the accelerator number one. Another cause of hydroplaning is when you have it on cruise control."
Ellis says any speed over fifty five miles an hour can trigger your car to hydroplane. And until the water recedes, he reminds everyone to stay vigilant.
Ellis went on to say "especially at night, you don't know what's out there. We are advising cue people to just do essential travel. Don't be out just riding around trying to sight see."
The roads closed in Grady County are as follows:
Martin Lane
Harrell Road
Lower Cairo Road
Cranford Road
Big Slough Road

Sandy, UT (SportsNetwork.com) - Real Salt Lake grabbed firm control of its
Western Conference Championship tie on Sunday after easing to a 4-2 first-leg
victory over the Portland Timbers at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Having vanquished the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Galaxy in the
semifinal round, the hosts struggled to get into the game early on and paid
the price just 14 minutes in.
Defender Chris Wingert was whistled for a foul on Portland's Diego Valeri,
setting up a free kick on the right side of the pitch from about 25 yards out.
Timbers captain Will Johnson stepped up and blasted his strike over the wall
and down into the bottom left corner of the net, leaving RSL goalkeeper Nick
Rimando with little chance for a save.
After the goal, RSL quickly began asserting some pressure in the final third
of the field and found an equalizer in the 35th minute when Chris Schuler got
his head on a Javier Morales corner kick and powered it home for his second
goal of the postseason.
Six minutes later the home side grabbed control of the game when speedy
forward Robbie Findley deftly took the ball away from Portland defender
Mamadou Danso in the final third and slipped it past goalkeeper Donovan
Ricketts for the 2-1 halftime lead.
After the break, Real Salt Lake made it a 3-1 game in the 48th minute when
they hit on the counter-attack. Findley started the move with a nice ball down
the right flank to Morales, who sent a low cross to Devon Sandoval. Sandoval,
in the starting 11 for an injured Alvaro Saborio, fired it home in a crowded
penalty area.
RSL then made it 4-1 eight minutes from time as substitute Joao Plata swung a
corner kick into the penalty area where Morales got his head on it, beating
Ricketts to the near post.
Portland grabbed a second goal deep in stoppage time as Jack Jewsbury sent a
fantastic cross into the box where Frederic Piquionne powered a header into
the top right corner.
RSL held on to claim the victory, but the Timbers have a lifeline as the
series heads to Jeld-Wen Field for the second leg on Nov. 24.

Yep, I jumped in to Kuiu with 250 zip, Attack pants, beanie, neck gator and cap....drooling over Spindrift and Guide Jacket. I still have my generation 1 Sitka gear...didnt think I'd ever change....may not, but its fun trying..!!!
Yep, I jumped in to Kuiu with 250 zip, Attack pants, beanie, neck gator and cap....drooling over Spindrift and Guide Jacket. I still have my generation 1 Sitka gear...didnt think I'd ever change....may not, but its fun trying..!!!
I bought everything but the pack. I'm hoping it reviews well and I will pick up one for next year. Can't wait to get my stuff!!
I wish I had the money. I was looking at the merino wool baselayers, but figured i would keep saving for a spotting scope instead. I hope everyone posts a review of their KUIU gear when they receive it. I'm interested to hear about it.
I'm definitely interested in your review on the pack since I'll probably be buying one next year. I already ordered my KUIU clothing just waiting for it to show up at my door. I really want to put the Chugach jacket through the test before this fall season.
Maxhunter and everyone else with KUIU on the way, I just started a thread in the lightweight section about the KUIU clothing I received yesterday...Check it out and add your own thoughts to it when you receive yours. I am liking this stuff!
I also ordered a icon 6000 and will let you know my thoughts as well, I do have the guide vest from KUIU and so far it seems very well made and comfortable, the fabric is real smooth and light weight, plus the vistas camo is pretty cool as well
I tried out my Kuiu Guide jacket and Chugach rain gear last week.
I was pulling some scouting cameras that were out over the winter. First camera was about a half mile from the road and I was in a hurry. Worked up a bit of heat but unzipped the guide jacket half way and was very comfortable.
Second camera was a 40 min hike one way up a hill that was not very steep but I left the zipper of the guide jacket open and was very comfortable. The weather was about 30 degrees with snow and rain.
The one thing I really liked that was the lack of sweat. I did not overheat like usual.
Great stuff.
Just got my email and my pack shipped today. I can't wait to get my hands on it. I was able to see one at their shop and handle it some, but it will be great to get ahold of it and put it through its paces in the field. Hopefully I will receive it by the weekend for a quick hike-in overnighter!
Apparently they are weighing in quite higher than the specs listed. Has anyone heard any solid info on this?
EDIT: It looks like Jason just addressed the issue here. The short answer?...Yes, the weight did increase.
Last edited by MarkTheFark; 06-10-2011 at 12:51 PM.
I resisted temptation and did not order the pack when I had the chance to. After seeing the production weights vs the hyped weight from Kuiu I am glad that I didn't place the order. We spend hundreds of dollars to save a pound or two on backcountry gear and having a pack that is nearly six pounds that was hyped to be under five is simply not worth the $550 price tag to me. I hope for those that ordered them that the pack is durable and serves them well.
That being said the attack pants and merino wool have has been great so far!

UPDATED 6.20.2012 by Julie Montanaro
It started as a fight at a party in 2010 and it ended today with a life sentence.
Timothy Hanner was found guilty of second degree murder in April.
This afternoon, the judge sentenced him to the maximum of life in prison.
Hanner stood up in court this afternoon and apologized to the victim's family.
Hanner was convicted of shooting and killing Wilson Sagesse near the Sweet Bay Apartments in October 2010.
Police say one of Sagesse's friends threw a drink on Hanner, so Hanner borrowed a gun and opened fire on Sagesse's car as they left the party.
The man who actually threw the drink survived.
Tallahassee, FL -- A Tallahassee man was found guilty of second-degree murder.
A jury deliberated for four hours before finding Timothy Hanner guilty of second-degree murder.
Hanner is accused of opening fire on an SUV as it left the Sweet Bay Apartments in October 2010. Prosecutors says one of the men inside had thrown a drink on during a party.
That man survived, but the driver, Wilson Sagesse was shot and killed.
Henner's sentencing is scheduled for June 20.
UPDATED 4.25.2012 by Julie Montanaro
A jury is now deliberating in the murder trial of 23 year old Timothy "Pablo" Hanner.
The state rested its case this afternoon. The defense rested soon afterward. Hanner did not testify.
The jury started deliberating at about 3:45 this afternoon. We'll keep you posted on a verdict.
Tallahassee, Florida - April 24, 2012 - 7:22 pm by Angelica Alvarez
Testimony ended at 4pm. The last person on the stand for the prosecution was forensic specialist William Cornegay. Testimony will resume Wednesday morning at 8:45am.

Tallahassee, Florida - April 24, 2012 - 3:20 pm by Angelica Alvarez
Prosecution has called two forensic experts to the stand since the short break. On the stand now is William Cornegay, a forensics expert with the City of Tallahassee, who responded at 3:45am the morning of the shooting on October 22nd, 2010.
Tallahassee, Florida - April 24, 2012 - 2:50pm by Angelica Alvarez
Prosecution called to the stand Aeisha Spence who was at the party the night of the shooting.
On the stand she testified that she was standing outside the apartment when she heard the shooting and saw Hanner standing near the mailboxes with his hand in the air.
The defense asked Spence why she told police the night of the shooting that she was inside when shots were fired and did not see anything. She told the court that at the time she did not want to get involved.
Prosecution pointed out that days later in a recorded interview with police she changed her story and said she had been outside at the time of the shooting and confirmed seeing Hanner by the mailboxes.
Travis Watkins took the stand just before two. The prosecution asked him if he wanted to testify and he echoed Spence in saying he did not want to get involved.
The prosecution asked him if he owned a gun the night of the shooting. He said he did that he owned a .45 Smith and Wesson. He answered many questions by saying he did not remember. The prosecution asked if he was the one who gave Hanner the gun the night of the shooting. Watkins said he could not remember.
Court wrapping up a brief recess now.
Court is on a short break waiting on a witness to arrive. Christopher Scoff just took the stand to testify about seeing Timothy Hanner after the shooting. The prosecution reminded him that he told police in a recorded interview the day after the shooting that Hanner "did what he had to do".
Today Scoff testified that that was his assumption at the time, not Hanner's exact words.
Tallahassee, Florida - April 24, 2012 - 1pm by Angelica Alvarez
Trial has resumed in the murder case against Timothy Hanner. Prosecution called Devin Houston to the stand.
Houston was at the party at Sweet Bay Apartments the night of the shooting. He and the defendant, Timothey Hanner, were living in the apartment where the party was being held.
Houston testified to seeing Hanner with a gun and says that he saw Hanner shooting. Then he testified to seeing the black SUV leave the apartment complex, cross Old Bainbridge road and hit the tree.
The defense is now questioning Houston.
UPDATED 4.24.2012 11:30 by Julie Montanaro
Tallahassee Police Officer Misty Brown is now testifying. She was the first officer on scene that night.
Brown testified a man was yelling "man down, man down" and pointing into the woodline. She says she waited for backup and then the two officers walked toward the woods and noticed a Ford Explorer that had crashed into a tree.
Brown testified Sagesse was slumped over the steering wheel and his arm was on the window sill. She says she checked for a pulse, but there wasn't one.
Prosecutors flashed pictures of the crash scene on a big screen. They showed a power pole that had been knocked down by the SUV as it careened through the parking lot. There was also a photo of Sagesse dead in the driver's seat.
Tallahassee, Florida - April 24, 2012 - 11am by Julie Montanaro
Timothy Hanner is now on trial for the October 2010 murder of Wilson Sagesse.
Sagesse's friend, Marcelyn Surrin, is on the stand. He was in the car with Sagesse when he was shot.
"He was ducked down but trying to look in the rear view mirror that's when he took a shot to the head," Surrin said.
Surrin said Sagesse's foot was still on the gas and another friend in the front seat was trying to steer. He says they went straight into the church parking lot across the street and crashed into a tree.
Surrin says he had gotten into an argument with "two or three dudes" at a party at the Sweet Bay Club Apartments earlier. He says he threw his drink on them. Surrin testified that as he and his friends left in their SUV, he asked Sagesse to stop by the mailboxes. Surrin says he got out and challenged the same men to a fight.
Surrin testified Sagesse told him to get in the car. He said that's when the shooting started. He said when he tried to close his door, his "window was shattered and I heard shots."
Tallahassee, FL -- by Julie Montanaro
Testimony is expected to begin Tuesday (4-24) in the murder trial of Timothy Hanner.
Updated 10-28 7:37pm
Just as people living in a Tallahassee apartment complex were trying to get over last week's deadly shooting, new information about a possible motive has them feeling uneasy again
Police say everything started across the street during a party last Thursday night. Witnesses say sometime throughout the event someone threw a drink on 21 year old timothy Hanna. By 3:00 the next morning, Wilson Sagesse was found shot to death in this back parking lot.
"There were people everywhere. The cops came to calm the party down."
Jeremy Wade says 10 minutes later.
"I heard the shots and the cops came back."
Around 3:00 on October 22, police were called to the Sweet Bay Club Apartments on Old Bainbridge Road in Tallahassee because of gunshots fired.
Veronique Browning lives in the complex. She said, "My first reaction was that it was sad. Then, my second reaction was Oh, God, another incident. That's really what came to mind that something bad happened again here in Sweet Bay."
22-year-old Wilson Sagesse was found dead across the street in the parking lot of Evangel Assembly of God Church inside of his SUV.
Police say it all started at that party in apartment 1101.
Officers say that a man with Sagesse had thrown a drink on 21-year-old Timothy Hanner. Police say Hanner went and got a gun from a friend, waited on Sagesse by the entrance of the apartment complex, then fired.
Justin Sirmons lives across from the apartment where the party was. He said, "It's a bit ridiculous to know that somebody was killed over a spilled drink. Anything that could have gone wrong that could have possibly led to this , imagine how that same person is going to react over something more than a spilled drink."
Hanner's bond was denied. The people living at Sweet Bay apartments didn't know someone was arrested but they are relieved to hear the news.
*** UPDATE 10-28-2010 12:50 PM by Julie Montanaro ***
Timothy Hanner, 21, who is accused of shooting and killing Wilson Sagesse in his SUV last Friday, made his first appearance before a judge this morning and was denied bond.

TPD says the motive for the shooting remains under investigation, but is believed to be because of a disagreement at a party.
Timothy Hanner has been charged with first degree murder.
WCTV is attaching the TPD Press Release along with a mug shot of Timothy Hanner. We are also attaching the Probable Cause affidavit.

Updated 10-22 6:42pm
A Tallahassee man is found dead in a church parking lot.
John Daniels lives at Sweet Bay Club Apartments on Old Bainbridge Road in Tallahassee. He said, "I was trying to go to sleep, but that was interrupted."
Interrupted by gunfire.
Daniels said, "I looked out the window and I saw a big flash and then five minutes later, there was crime scene tape up all over the front. There were cops searching around over here."
Tallahassee Police responded to the gunshots that were heard at the Sweet Bay Club Apartments around 3:00 Friday morning.
But, the victim was found across the street near Evangel Assembly of God Church.
Justin Sirmons also lives at Sweet Bay. He said, "It's a little bit scary knowing that we're in here sleeping and right across the street or in this complex, people have guns and are shooting people."
Police say they found the victim, 22-year-old Wilson Sagesse, in the driver's seat of a black 2002 Ford Explorer.
The SUV had crashed, and work crews were still out later in the day repairing a utilities pole that had been knocked down.
Daniels said, "It's been relatively quiet until all that happened. It's not exactly comforting to know that there is shots going off at 3 in the morning."
Daniels and Sirmons say there was a big party at the complex Thursday night, but investigators have not said if the shooting is related.
Police have not released any information on suspects, leads, arrests, nor motives.
