Op-Ed: Prevent Premeditated Murder Through Due Process
David Bedein, Israel Resource News AgencyThe writer is the director of the Israel Resource News Agency & The Center...
There must now a public outcry, to demand that the Israel judicial system abide by procedures that would apply to any convicted felon who asks for commutation of a sentence, for any reason.
There must now a public outcry, to demand that the courts of Israel conduct a standard "risk assessment" for each convict, before the courts allow the felon to return to society.
There must now a public outcry to demand that the courts of Israel make an objective determination, to discern if each felon, convicted of first degree murder, would constitute a threat to society if he were to be set free.
Until now, debate in Israel has focused on whether or not terrorists should be set free.
Now the focus must change, to demand that Israel run its penal system based on due process - not on political considerations.
The court system in Israel owes it to both Jewish and Arab citizens of Israel to discern who among the felons set to be freed may be bound on a path of premeditated murder.

China's Shadow Bankers Seek Their Place in the Sun
By Liyan Qi
China's trust companies are feeling hurt and unloved. If you ask them, they'll tell you their hard work has been a little misunderstood.
"People say the trust firms are the 'bad boys' of the financial sector. I think it's a misunderstanding," said Li Zhenhua, secretary general of the China Wealth Management 50 Forum, a financial industry group.
"There have been rarely any material defaults and we've been offering high returns with close-to-zero risk," Mr. Li told a briefing on the trust sector's track record this year.

Boys finish third, girls eighth in historical efforts for school
November 8, 2012 | Vol. 116 -- No. 29
Alex Preston
The start of the boys' 1A race at state in Pasco included Medical Lake runners Zeb Klemke, Luke Alvarado and Micah Dingfield (all middle left).
Going into last Saturday's State cross country championships at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco, Medical Lake's head coach Gene Blankenship made a prediction.
Blankenship thought a finish anywhere from third to sixth for the boys was not out of the question, while the girls could place from sixth to ninth in team competition.
"Pretty close, huh," Blankenship said with a laugh after the Cardinal boys finished third and the girls eighth on the 5,000 meter course.
The ML boys, with 106 points, finished behind Tacoma's Charles Wright Academy (87 points) and defending 1A champion Lake...

ILA Men's Summer League finished Week 1 with the Four Horsemen riding on top and the Kings being crushed beneath the heels of the peasantry. Did anything change? Let's find out together.
First, the results; second, the commentary; third, some metrics.
Tuesday Results
Manly Men 9, Bombers 13
Four Horsemen 9, Kings 7
Flying Dutchmen 13, Scoundrels 13
Oat 8, Whalers 9
Thursday Results
Kings 7, Oat 11
Scoundrels 10, Manly Men 17
Whalers 15, Flying Dutchmen 13
Bombers 17, Four Horsemen 5
Current Standings
*Standings are determined first by winning pct, and next by scoring ratio.
|Winning Pct.
|Average Score
|Average Goals Against
|Scoring Ratio
|Four Horsemen
|Manly Men
|Flying Dutchmen
The pecking order is beginning to become apparent, though the explanation is less than clear in some cases. On paper, our 7th and 8th place teams are fearsome but the potential isn't translating into results.
The Broadway Bombers (#1 at 3-1) are offensive juggernauts, averaging 14.5 goals per game and a 1.41 Scoring Ratio, both of which are a league-best. Attackman Grant Band alone is scoring 8 goals every time he takes the field. This week the Bombers were lucky enough to borrow Kevin Kaup (2012 PNCLL Defensive MVP) on Tuesday and Shawn Carman (2009 PNCLL Defensive MVP) on Thursday to man the cage while the Bombers' rostered goalie was on vacation. Meanwhile the Bombers' pole core arrived on Tuesday to relieve the patchwork defense that had been pieced together in Week 1. Finally, the Bombers' sideline in Week 2 was noticeably more well-stocked than many other teams; aside from goalies, the Bombers have not yet had to bring in ringers to reach the 13-player minimum. This formula yielded formidable results, as the Bombers defeated the #2 Manly Men 13-9 and then dominated the #1 Four Horsemen (who were short-handed and weren't as lucky in their recruiting) 17-5.
The Warm Springs Ave. Whalers (#2 at 3-1) aren't blowing anybody out but they're beating good teams with timely scoring and a tough defense. On Tuesday the Whalers cracked the Oats 9-8 in the last minute of the game. On Thursday, the Whalers overcame a short roster with some good recruiting and with the help of the Manly Mens' Jon Mundy, and the Scoundrels' Joe Eck and Brian Sanderson, outgunned the Flying Dutchmen 15-13.
The Whalers are sporting the #2 defense in the league, as opponents are averaging only 9.5 gpg. This is all the more impressive considering the team's defensive anchor, Josh Rude, has been out with a minor knee injury. When Josh returns, the Whalers might get real tough to score on.
The Franklin Four Horsemen (#3 at 3-1) were continuing to do "just enough." In Week 1 they squeaked by Oat 9-8 and the Whalers 9-7. The harbingers of the apocalypse continued this trend in Week 2 by holding off the Kings on Tuesday by a score of 9-7. This left the Horsemen as the only remaining undefeated team going into Thursday's game against the Bombers. Unfortunately, the Four Horsemen weren't able to rally all of the necessary ponies and found themselves short-handed and out-recruited by the then-#2 Bombers who dominated the game 17-5. In fairness, the Horsemen were without their stud goalie, Lee Shaw, and midfield standout and faceoff man Jake Christensen. Meanwhile the Bombers managed to finagle Shawn Carman into the cage while Brandon Payne was on vacation. It doesn't take a swami to see how that might be a recipe for disaster. The Bombers were able to dominate possession and the unscrupulous Band(itos) Bros. took advantage of the situation by tallying 14 out of the Bombers' 17 goals.
Despite being tied for the best record at 3-1, the Four Horsemen have the second-worst scoring ratio at .79 and are averaging only 7.75 goals per game. If the Horsemen want to hang at the top, they'll need to find a way to put the biscuit in the basket a few more times each game.
The Milwaukee Manly Men (#4 at 2-2) are better than their record and have scored league-second-best 51 goals thus far. The mustachioed gents are also playing strong defense and have a second-best 1.214 scoring ratio. Led by lax maestro Jon Mundy, the Manly Men have fantastic goalkeeping courtesy of Shawn Carman and a lumberjack defense anchored by Leland McCluskey (whose handiwork is still visible on this writer's arms, back, chest, and shoulders several days later).
When the Manly Men are hummin', they're hard to stop. The Kings and Scoundrels are keenly aware of this, having lost 16-8 and 17-10 respectively. However, MMM has struggled with consistency on offense and put up only 9 against both the Whalers and Bombers. If these Men can iron out the kinks, watch out.
Overland Oat (#5 at 2-2) is another team not to be judged by their record and are mere percentage points in the scoring ratio behind the Manly Men (they trail the Manly Men by a minuscule 0.002 in this category). They have the league's best defense, having given up only 33 (8.25 per game), an especially impressive fact given that not all of their poles have checked in and they're consistently playing with the minimum roster of 13. What Oat hasn't been able to do is win the close game. Each of Oat's two losses (to the Horsemen and Whalers) was by a mere 1-goal margin, while each win (over the Dutchmen and Kings) was by 4 goals or more.
What Oat has going for it is consistency all the way through its roster and performance at each position. Krieg "the Daywalker" Shaw anchors the midfield and is nigh impossible to stop on a clear and BSU trio Taylor Stover, Dillon Guth, and Ryan Lindsay are all two-way threats and solid in transition. Tyler Reitz, Gabe Border, and Gunnar Guth are proven finishers on attack; and the Broncos' fittest pony Blaine Ottinger leads a relentless defense alongside Utah's James Hardy.
Oat takes on the Bombers in the late set on Tuesday in a game featuring the #1 offense against the #2 defense. If both teams show up, it ought to be interesting.
The Fairview Flying Dutchmen (#6 at 2-2) are difficult to predict. Having won twice by 1-goal margins, and lost twice by an average of 3, you can count on them to be in the game. On Tuesday the Dutchmen outlasted the Scoundrels 14-13, but with Sayre Thomas out of the lineup on Thursday, the Dutchmen was unable to compensate for the Whalers' recruiting efforts. Unable to contain Huckvale, Mundy, Eck, Sanderson, and Misner, the sea mammal murderers fell 13-15.
So far, the Dutchmens' clear weakness is defense, having given up a league high 54 goals. Accordingly, this team lags behind its other 2-2 companions, Manly Men and Oat, with a 0.91 scoring ratio. That said, they've shown that they can beat anybody and only once have they failed to generate at least 13 goals on offense. The Dutchmen have highly capable defenders but chemistry may be an issue. Goaltender Bob Suchy might have to step it up and marshal this crew into some sort of cohesiveness if the Flying Dutchmen are going to make a run.
The State Street Scoundrels (#7 at 1-3) are a damned mystery to me. I'll reveal to you that this team has the highest average rating in the league, and yet they've been unable to find much success. After a narrow victory over the Kings on opening night, the Scoundrels are 0-3. The Scoundrels opened Week 2 with a 13-14 heartbreaker to the Dutchmen and then were blown out for the first time on Thursday by the Manly Men 17-10 (though it is noteworthy that the Scoundrels were without their goalie and longpole Nate McIntyre bravely stepped into the cage).
While the Scoundrels can score, they need better results on defense and have given up a second-worst 52 goals. To compensate for the lack of a strong 3rd defender, key midfielders Oat McIntyre and Brian Sanderson have been taking shifts at longpole. This formula doesn't appear to be paying off. All that said, aside from the Manly Men game where the Scoundrels were without a true goalie, they have yet to lose by anything other than a close margin.
The Scoundrels aren't out of it, but need to rally before morale declines. They open Week 3 against the offensively-anemic Four Horsemen on Tuesday.
And finally, we come last to the Coal Road Kings (#8 at 0-4). I don't know what to say about these Kings. In Week 1, they scored 14 goals without the Williams Bros, Mitch Hawk, and Ian Williams. A sharp increase in offense was anticipated when those players joined the roster in Week 2. However, in Week 2, the Kings again only scored 14 goals. On Tuesday, the Kings fell 7-9 to the then-#1 Horsemen; on Thursday these royals lost 7-11 to Overland Oat. At 28 goals total, the Kings have the lowest scoring total and lowest scoring ratio in the league.
The defense isn't performing poorly so the problem may be found between the lines. The Kings are getting minimal results from their middies on faceoffs and consequently are not seeing lots of possession. It may be time to switch things up and see if some offense can't yet be generated.
Next Week
Next week's schedule looks like this:
6:30 – Manly Men @ Flying Dutchmen
6:30 – Kings @ Whalers
7:45 – Scoundrels @ Four Horsemen
7:45 – Bombers @ Oat
6:30 – Oat @ Scoundrels
6:30 – Four Horsemen @ Manly Men
7:45 – Whalers @ Bombers
7:45 – Flying Dutchmen @ Kings
The Thursday games might be a crapshoot, as several players from each teams' rosters will be heading to the Lake Tahoe Lax Tournament.
On a final note, we ran our giveaway raffle on Thursday. Mitch Hawk won the lax goal donated by Lacrosse Idaho and Michael Baker took home the Cascade CPX-r with LAS wrap donated by LaxAllStars.com.

Thoughts about life, health, and happiness
Friday, June 14, 2013
Today has been a weird day at work. We had a flag day ceremony in the morning and play practice in the afternoon, so it threw off our normal schedule. It ended up being fun though and I got some time to read through some blogs that I probably wouldn't have read otherwise. In addition, my coteacher and I did a quick workout session in the classroom with the kids (The flag ceremony cut into their gym time). Nothing intense, just some body weight exercises, jumping jacks, and high knees, but it was fun and I felt a little better about the little bit of crap I had at the teacher breakfast this morning.
So anyway, as I've been reading blogs and thinking about how I feel after having some exercise under my belt for the day, I get a call from my dad. My sister had to take my mom to the hospital this morning. They think she's going to be fine, but since her parents have a history of heart problems, they're keeping her overnight for testing and observation. It made me really wish that my mom would get serious about a healthy lifestyle because one of these days, it may happen again and they won't say that she's going to be fine. I haven't had a chance to talk to her yet. I may try to visit after work today, but I wonder if this will have any impact on her lifestyle choices. It definitely impacts me. It makes me even more determined to get my weight down into the healthy range. I have been aiming for at least 155, which is just barely into the healthy range on BMI.
I think my plan of action for now is to once again really try for a very regulated diet. I want to take some time this weekend to make up a week's worth of pre-prepared foods so I don't even have to think. In addition, I am going to make a concerted effort to listen to my body and not eat unless I am hungry. I cheat way more than I should if I want to lose the weight. I do not want to end up being unhealthy and exercise-phobic like my mom. I want to be healthy and happy.

That's great that you and your co-teacher did some exercises with the kids. It really shows them that exercise is still important, even if things don't go as planned.
Sorry to hear about your mom going to the hospital. I hope everything is okay. Hopefully, she will come to you for help with starting an exercise routine. Even just walking around the neighborhood a few times per week will have a major positive effect on her health.

Sorry to hear about your mom! Maybe after she's home again and feels better would be a good time to try and give her another push to a healthy lifestyle!

Even as a young whippersnapper I wondered what it felt like to be old and know you only had a few days, months, years to live. Now that I'm over 50, I'm getting a taste of what it's like to grow old, but I still have questions That's one reason I wanted to read Billy Graham's book. What goes through the mind of a great Christian man on the brink of eternity?
This book is now one of my favorites and while I read it digitally, I do plan to own a hard copy because I believe it belongs in my library on a shelf where I can look at it and open it up at leisure. Page after page of wisdom is written and I could nearly argue that every Christian should read it before crossing over to eternity.
Billy Graham shares not only his personal experiences of growing older but also how we are to view our time on earth. "I never thought I would live to be this old," he writes. And he goes on to explain that God has a purpose for all our years and how we can learn to cope with the fears and struggles of our aged limitations.
He misses his wife, Ruth, very much, be he knows God has a purpose for his remaining years and he works at grasping that truth and going with God. He explores four key areas in this book:
- Building strong foundations and understanding the gift of years
- Facing life's transitions, including the passing of years, retirement, and when loved ones die
- Making wise decisions
- Understanding our glorious hope
Billy Graham describes his purpose for this book best:
"In this book I invite you to explore with me not only the realities of life as we grow older but the hope and fulfillment and even joy that can be ours once we learn to look at these years from God's point of view and discover His strength to sustain us every day. I pray that you and I may learn what it means not only to grow older, but, with God's help, to grow older with grace."
I give this book 5 stars. It is an absolute treasure.
Disclaimer: I received a free digital copy of this book to review for Thomas Nelson Publishers, however, I the opinions expressed are solely mine and I was not pressured in any way to write a positive review.

Blazer: insufficient volts comming out of coil, 12 volts..ICM
Customer Question
My Blazer has the EDI Ignition system. I'm getting volts going into the coil but insufficient volts comming out of coil, 12 volts in 12 out. I've tested the ICM and that tested good. Replaced so far is the
Ignition coil
, Plugs wires, Cap and Rotor, Throttle positioning sensor, and Crankshaft sensor, Still only 12 volts read on the coil while
is turned over.. I Don't Get It ECM or PCM is the only thing I can come up with.... HELP needed

What year is your blazer?
How and where are you checking the coil?

replied 7 years ago.

It be a 2000 Blazer 4.3 with the spider injection. I checked the coil at the main post, the one that goes out to distributer. so I replaed the coil and it still test the same.

 Thanks, Chris

replied 7 years ago.
If you hook the coil wire to the coil and take the other end off of the distributor and lay it against by a ground and crank the engine over, Will it arc?
Ask Your Own Chevy Question
replied 7 years ago.
Nope, it don't even give me a little snap, used a nail to secure it in the wire and checked on a ground nut and nothin.
replied 7 years ago.
Did you hold it about 1/2 inch from ground and not touching the ground?
Do You have power on the pink wire on the connector to the coil and the ignition module?
Do you have a test light?
Ask Your Own Chevy Question
replied 7 years ago.
Yep, on all. I checked the pink on the coil and it is getting 12 volts with ignition on same with the ignition module. I also ran the pulse check on the IM's black wire and it pulsed just like she should and that's why I'm stumped, I've been building chevy muscle cars for around ten years and a GM has never stumped me like this one, quite honestly I hate this thing more than any vehicle I've ever worked on and am considering buying all foreign from here on out unless its older than an 85'.
replied 7 years ago.
The wire going to the coil, The white wire with the black stripe. With the test light connected to the battery postive post, does the light blink when cranked the engine over with the light testing the white wire with the black stripe.
Also check that pink wire at the coil connector.I seen them broke inside the wire insolation. Sometimes the wire breaks inside and you can get power out of it when you check it but you can move it a certain way and it will loose power

So I hook up my positive aligator to the positive on the batt. and probe the white with black stripe leading to the coil and I should get the blinking also like on the ICM?
replied 7 years ago.
Yes but the coil connector unpluged.
is the chart for the ignition system test
let me know if you have any questions

I checked the Igni. Control terminal A (pink wire) with igni. on and I am receiving 0 volts?????
replied 7 years ago.

Sorry to bug, but I was running through the test sheets u provide, thanks by the way very helpful than most diagrams I received, So now I'm stuck on this step #27 Repair the shortto ground in the tachometer signal circuit between the ignition coil and the ICM. The only connection I see between the two is the backing plate on the ICM where there is white grease visable, is that the grounding or what purpose does tht serve????

 THANKS AGAIN

replied 7 years ago.
Sorry for the delay, I was trying to finish mowing my yard.
If your not reciving ignition voltage on the pink wire, we need to fix that first.
Do you have voltage on the pink wire at the IGnition Module?
Ask Your Own Chevy Question
replied 7 years ago.
yeper, but when engine is turned over there is no pulsing light from the white with black striped wire like I should. Check list says I need to repair the ground between the ICM and the coil, Dont know what that means
replied 7 years ago.
Ok lets get this straight, You took a test light and connectedit to the battery postive post. You checked it to a good ground and the test light lit up. You unpluged the coil connector and the Ignition module hooked up. You cranked the engine over while the test light was on the terminal C ( the white wire with the black stripe). the test light dod not blink. Right?
Then you turned the key off and touched the test light(still connected to the battery postive post) to the white wire with the black stripe. Did the test light light then.
Ask Your Own Chevy Question
replied 7 years ago.
Yep exactly, No blinky when cranked over, no light when igni. off on white wire, no light but test light shows one red and one green when igni. is is off on pink??? I don't know??? would a high buck scanner with real time read out solve all this???
replied 7 years ago.
You got one of those logic test light. Do you have an old fashion test light with just a bulb? You cant do this test with that kind of light.
Ask Your Own Chevy Question
replied 7 years ago.

Shouldn't matter what test light I use, I have about ten different ones and they all draw the same conclusion?

replied 7 years ago.
If the white wire lit a test light connected to the battery postive post with the key off, that wire is shorted to groundbetween the module and the coil
Ask Your Own Chevy Question
replied 7 years ago.
Nope no light with Ignition off, I'm saying there is no light ever on the White black stripe wire, Ignition on off or anything inbetween
replied 7 years ago.
So on step 5 you answered no and went to step 6 and then answered no to that step also.
Then you are led to step 8. Step 8 you ohm the white wire with the black stripe from the coil to the ignition module. You should have less than 1 ohm.
Then you check the voltage on the pink wire on the ignition module with the key on.
Let me know the reading on these 2 tests
Ask Your Own Chevy Question
replied 7 years ago.
The pink wire gives me 11.9 or 12 Volts with ignition on, same with the pink at coil. In the test's on the sheet says the white one should pulse the test light indicating that the ICM is sending the appropiate sighnal too the Coil to fire, and I get no pulsing test light. then it tells me to go to step 27 fault in ground or something... I bought a code reader scanner today and it tells me the service engine light is not on but it is, and that the system is not ready. Wondering why my SES light does not go out after the ignition is on, I thought that after ten seconds or so it was supposed to go out indicating the system is ready??
replied 7 years ago.
The white wire should pulse. on step 6 it has you to see if that wire is grounded. If it was the test light that is still connected to the battery postive cable would be lit when touched the white wire. You said the light did NOT light so you answer no and go to step 8 and ohm the white wire from the coil to the module. If that ohms ok then go to step 9 and check the voltage which is ok then go to step 10 which checks the ground for the ignition module.
Then if that is good go to step11 which checks the signal from the computer.
The SES (service engine soon) will be on untill it starts.
Ask Your Own Chevy Question
replied 7 years ago.

so I went back and started all over and got to step 11 and it read 6 volts it says its supposed to be between 1 and 4 which leads me to step 14. also the white wire gave 2 ohms

replied 7 years ago.
Did you have the volt meter set to AC instead of DC?
Did you take the reading during cranking?
Any codes setting in the computer?
Ask Your Own Chevy Question
replied 7 years ago.
Yep had it on ac and wife cranking engine. No codes, and can't get any cause it never starts.
replied 7 years ago.
From there it tells you to ohm the wire from the computer to the ignition module and make sure it is not shorted to power or ground. If all ok replace the engine computer and program it.

yah! 400$ later it was the ignition module.

PlasmaCar | Review
July 18, 2009 by admin - Jennifer
Filed under Reviews
It's like magic, but you don't need to be a magician to get it to work. The PlasmaCar is a mechanical marvel that makes use of that most inexhaustible of energy sources, kid-power, by harnessing the natural forces of inertia, centrifugal force, gravity, and friction. It's so easy to operate; all it needs is a driver and a smooth, flat surface.
I was recently given a PlasmaCar to review here on The Dirty Shirt, and while reviewing is what I do here I have to say that this particular product has brought me something more than the typical joy I get out of seeing my children play, and I will get to that in a second, but here are the specifics of the PlasmaCar.
PlasmaCar is made from state-of-the-art, high-quality ABS plastics, rugged and durable. Kids will like its looks because it´s vivid, sleek and aerodynamic, just like a racecar. No batteries, no power-cells, no liquid fuel are required. It´s so easy to operate; all it needs is a driver and a smooth, flat surface. For the kids, the PlasmaCar is pure energy and pure fun. For the folks, it´s safe, inexpensive, and quiet.
The PlasmaCar has been nothing but a amazingly great toy for my kids to play with, they zoom around the house either one at a time or with the older kids giving the youngest a ride, screaming and laughing and having a great time. Heck I am not ashamed to admit that I too, have gotten on and zipped though the house, and no, video won't be shown even though hubby did get some. So for me the PlasmaCar has been a blessing, something I love because my kids love it and have so much fun with it.
Now I want to share with you the special thing the PlasmaCar did for my family. First I would like you to meet my nephew, D…
A little background on D, he is on the Autism Spectrum, and at the age of almost 4 he is just starting to do things that some younger kids are doing, reaching milestones that they are reaching. He is a bit behind and my sister has found it hard to find things that capture and hold his attention for a good amount of time. He has tried to ride a bike but didn't like it, we are not sure what about it he didn't like but he refused to ride a bike.
I see the struggle in emotions that my sister and her husband go through during times like trying to find something that he likes. It breaks my heart! So any time I bring the kids to see him or they come to our house we try to come up with things that he may be interested in. The day after I received the PlasmaCar I was invited to her house and decided to bring it along to show my sister how much fun it was and to see if it may spark D's interest.
I was so touched to see him get on it and figure out how to maneuver it all on his own. The look on my sister's face was priceless and brought tears to my eyes seeing her so proud of her son. His like of the PlasmaCar was extremely evident when I had to leave and take the car with me so I could fully review it. This prompted a massive search of stores throughout Orlando to find this car right away. My sister went everywhere, but never found it. She didn't want to order it and wait for delivery, but that looked like what was going to happen. I did however find it the next day at a store near me and bought it for him right away, called her and they immediately came over to pick it up.
My sister was so happy to have been able to get the PlasmaCar for D and I am thrilled with the results it has had with him. So not only do I recommend this product to everyone for the sheer fun it is but if you too have a child on the Autism Spectrum, this car may be just the thing to help them out. (these results may not be the same as ours, I am just sharing with you the results that I/my sister have had with this product.)
To learn more about the PlasmaCar please go Facebook. And stay up to date with the PlasmaCar on their blog as well.

Weldon Breaks School Record in Albuquerque
Tech's Kole Weldon broke the school record in the weight throw Friday in Albuquerque.
Feb. 7, 2014
Results | Boston Valentine Results | Texas Tech New Mexico Classic Results | Live Results
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Texas Tech junior thrower Kole Weldon broke a 12-year-old school record Friday in the opening night of competition at the New Mexico Classic.
The Jacksboro, Texas native, who already owns the school record in the shot put, ended Friday's weight throw competition with a heave of 19.68-meters (64-feet 7 inches) to finish first overall.
"What a great performance for him," Texas Tech head coach Wes Kittley said. "He had some great throws tonight. He has a lot more in him, but I'm glad to see him picking up his performance in the weight throw."
Weldon entered the meet No. 7 nationally in the shot put, an event he is scheduled to compete in on Saturday. With his performance Friday, he moves to No. 2 on the Big 12 descending order list in the weight throw.
His toss Friday night bested the 2002 record of 19.32-meters (63'-1") set by Jason Young - a 2012 Olympian in the discus.
"It's a brand new event for me," Weldon said. "It takes time to develop the patterns and get the confidence, but three years in and now I'm seeing results so it's exciting. I still have a lot of improvement to go, which is really exciting."
Weldon's performance kick-started Tech's opening night at the Albuquerque Convention Center, which will serve as the host of the 2014 NCAA Indoor Championships in March.
On the track, Texas Tech junior Cierra White turned in yet another historic performance clocking a new career-best in the 200-meter dash after crossing the finish line with a time of 23.52 seconds. She collected her third win of the season in the event, while her time Friday ranks No. 2 all-time at Texas Tech. She now holds three of the top-5 performance in the event.
White was followed by teammate Amoy Blake who finished fourth overall with a new season-best time of 24.56 seconds.
In the men's high jump, junior JaCorian Duffield finished runner-up clearing 2.13-meters (6-feet 11.75 inches). The performance snapped a streak of six consecutive meets clearing 7-feet or higher, which dated back to the 2013 outdoor season. Senior Nick Tam cleared a season-best 2.03-meters (6'-8.00"), while sophomore Bradley Adkins finished eighth clearing 2.08-meters (6'-9.75"). Duffield and Adkins entered the meet ranked in the top-5 nationally with season-bests of 2.23-meters (7'-3.75") and 2.20-meters (7'-2.50") respectively.
Shortly afterwards, junior Michaela Palu continued her strong 2014 indoor campaign in the high jump clearing a new career-best of 1.73-meters (5'-8.00") to finish fifth in the competition. Palu has now improved in each of Tech's four meets this season.
Junior Trevor Mackey, a transfer from South Plains College, made his Red Raider debut Friday night in the 200-meter dash and turned in a strong performance in the process. Mackey clocked a 21.23 in the event to finish second overall. Mackey's time marked the best by a Red Raider in the event since the 2011 season.
Mackey was followed by sophomore Joseph Richards III in fourth who clocked a season-best time of 21.48.
In the men's pole vault, Tech sophomore Kyle Thompson led the Red Raiders while matching his season-best clearing 4.90-meters (16'-0.75") to finish 11th.
Meanwhile, the Lady Raiders garnered two of the top-5 spots in the women's long jump led by Shanice Stewart who turned in her second-straight strong performance going 6.18-meters (20'-3.50"). Stewart finished third overall and was followed by sophomore Le'Tristan Pledger who went 6.03-meters (19'-9.50") to finish fifth.
Tech went 2-3 in the men's 600-meter run led by Alex Foster who clocked a 1:22.50. He was followed by Kendall McVey in third who finished with a time of 1:22.65. The Lady Raiders also went 2-3 in the event led by Caitlin Waters (1:34.31) and Tiffany Tarver (1:34.72).
Texas Tech also competed at the Boston Valentine Invitational Friday where junior Lady Raider Sharlene Nickle clocked a personal-best in the 3,000-meter run with a time of 9:38.95. She was followed by teammate Jocelyn Caro who finished in 9:51.44.
Also in Boston, Madeline Livergood finished with a career-best time in the 5,000-meter run finishing in 18:19.41.
Tech returns to the Albuquerque Convention Center Saturday for Day 2 of the New Mexico Classic with events scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. Four Red Raiders are also scheduled to compete in the final day of action at the Boston Valentine Invitational.

Solar Energy Facts
In today's environmentally conscious society, renewable energy is becoming less and less an option and more and more a necessity. Solar energy is one of the major players in renewable energy. Most people know that solar energy comes in the forms of heat and light, with power derived directly from the sun. But there's much more to solar energy than these basics. When using sustainable methods for your home remodeling needs, keep these facts about solar energy in mind.
- The sun is the most vital form of energy accessible to us.
- Daylight Savings Time matches available sunlight to the time when it is more useful, maximizing the potential for solar energy.
- According to Greenpeace, the sun can provide us with 10,000 times the amount of energy we need.
- According to CNN, solar power contributes 0.039 percent of the world's electricity needs.
- Photovoltaic (PV) installations in just 4 percent of the world's deserts would meet global energy needs. PV installations often take the form of solar panels that convert light energy into solar energy.
- The energy we get from all of the world's reserves of coal, oil, and natural gas can be matched by just 20 days' supply of sunshine
(Source: CNN)
So how do we make use of all this solar goodness? When it comes to lighting, window design and placement strongly influence the quality of light and heat within the home. Here are just a few techniques.
Insulated glazing, which consists of an air space between two panes of glass, provides added insulation.
Low-emissivity coatings on windows consist of thin metal coating within the glass's airspace, reflecting thermal radiation and allowing solar radiation into the room.
The strategic placement of skylights can also increase the home's natural lighting, decreasing electrical use as well as the price of utility bills.
If this sounds good, there are a lot more ways to utilize solar energy in architectural and urban planning. Solar systems can be put into play for water heating, general heating, cooling, and ventilation, cooking and energy storage, and much more. Even drying your clothes can be done in a more energy-efficient way. To get started, check out CalFinder's blog on solar energy panels, or contact our solar energy contractors.

The stenciled signs, the ones labeled "Hispanic Heritage," have been seen all around the National Football League the past month. But no team has put the ideal on the line more - quite literally - than the Denver Broncos.
Manny Ramirez and Louis Vasquez, starting offensive linemen for the league's fast-paced, high-scoring juggernaut, are proud to carry the torch of Hispanic players who have competed at the highest levels of the game, first as college teammates and then as pro football colleagues.
But the former Texas Tech giants, whose decorated careers overlapped for two seasons with the Red Raiders, see their mission as something larger than football.
"We get that the numbers of Hispanics and those of Latin American heritage are so small in the NFL that we feel the need to reach out whenever we can," Vasquez said at the team's practice facility in Englewood, Colo., earlier this month. "Let us be heard. Let us be seen for the younger generations to come, to open their eyes and open their horizons.
"There are so many bigger and better things. It doesn't even have to be football. It can be politics, the business world, whatever the case may be."
Vasquez and Ramirez have taken circuitous routes to ultimately become teammates once again. Ramirez, who served as a de facto tour guide for Vasquez during the latter's official visit, was taken by the Detroit Lions in the fourth round of the 2007 draft. He played four seasons in the Motor City before being signed by the Broncos in 2011.
After playing his entire career at guard - the same position he played at Tech as a four-year starter from 2003-06 - Ramirez became Denver's starting center during training camp when Dan Koppen was lost for the season with a knee injury.
All of sudden there was major pressure to perform in front of notoriously demanding, future Hall-of-Fame quarterback Peyton Manning. Ramirez, though, has handled the shift with aplomb, anchoring a line that has helped the Broncos set a blistering offensive pace that could break a bevy of records before the season is done.
"Manny has done a phenomenal job directing us," said Vasquez, who starts at right guard. Peyton is the leader of the team, and if he feels the need to redirect us, then that's his job. But for the most part, Manny is setting us, we're going a certain way, and he's done a great job at it so far."
Former Tech quarterback Cody Hodges, who played with Ramirez for four seasons, isn't surprised at all by Ramirez's success for a simple reason.
"Off the field, Manny is one of the nicest guys I know," Hodges said. "But on the field it's like he turns on this switch. He wants to destroy the defensive line. I think he views the quarterback as, `That's my wife; that's my mom. I'm not going to let you hurt that person."
Vasquez, a Tech lineman from 2005-08, was taken in the third round by the San Diego Chargers in the 2009 draft. Looking to bolster their line following last season's playoff loss, the Broncos plucked Vasquez from their division rival. He's fit in seamlessly next to Ramirez - No. 65 and No. 66, side-by-side again.
The above fact took some time to sink in for the two linemen, who had formed what they called a brotherhood at Tech, both born of parents from Mexico.
"Not really that many guys get the chance after they leave college to play down the road with that same teammate they had in college," Vasquez said. "When we're on the field, it's football all the time and we don't think about it. But us having that chemistry, and having it carry over now, we just work that much better together.
And Ramirez and Vasquez are also in lockstep with their belief that they should serve as role models in the Hispanic community, whether it be for kids in their hometowns of Coriscana (Vasquez) and Missouri City (Ramirez), near their college stomping grounds in West Texas, in Denver or anywhere else.
"We've always been doubted," Ramirez said recently during an interview with the Broncos' website. "That being Hispanic, you come from nothing, you aren't going to amount to anything. Football for me was a way to get out and stay out of trouble, a way to get a free education."
The former Red Raiders have been looking for more ways to spread their message of encouragement to Hispanic youth. The pair recently met with NFL Hall of Famer Anthony Munoz, a former Cincinnati Bengals lineman who is widely regarded as one of the greatest Hispanic players to play in the NFL.
"It was awesome to sit and visit with him," Vasquez said. "You kind of get that vibe from him that, `Hey, this is so much bigger than Anthony Munoz and me and Manny.' It's about showing the younger generations and letting them grow."

Implementing the policy and directive on transfer payments
Table of Contents
1- Implementation of the Language Provisions of the Policy (PTP) and the Directive (DTP) on Transfer Payments
Third party contributions: OLA Section 25 cases
2- Determination of Language Clauses: First Analysis
3- Model Language Clauses: Principles
Additional References and Tools
The 2008 Policy on Transfer Payments (PTP) and its Directive (DTP) mandates federal departments to meet the requirements of the Official Languages Act(the Act) in the design and delivery of transfer payments, and in related communications and reporting. This guide is intended to support Canadian Heritage programs managers and officers in complying with these requirements.
In general, these requirements relate to Part VII of the Act, which sets out the federal government's commitment to enhancing the vitality and supporting the development of English and French minority language communities in Canada, as well as fostering the full recognition and use of both English and French in Canadian society. The language provisions of the Policy and Directive replace the language provisions of the former Policy on Transfer Payments and the official languages Policy on Grants and Contributions: Chapter 1–4.
This guide does not provide a ready-made formula, as the realities addressed by transfer payments are very diverse and cannot be subject to a one-size-fits-all linguistic determination. Rather, it provides managers and officers with tools to help them analyze their specific situations and make informed choices. In all cases, this analysis must be documented, both at the stage of program design and development, and in the assessment of an individual transfer payment file.
This guide is an evergreen document that will be periodically revised to reflect best practices selected by the Centres of Expertise either at Canadian Heritage or Treasury Board.
The government and the broad framework to account for Official Languages Requirements (OLR)
Privy Council Office and Official Languages Requirements
The Privy Council Office (PCO) believes that OLR should be considered in the program or policy development process leading to a Memorandum to Cabinet (MC). Where appropriate, evidence that OLR assessment has been conducted in the development of the initiative should be included in the MC.( please refer to the PCO MC drafter's guide). The OLR considerations are also presented in the PCH Guide to preparing a Memorandum to Cabinet.
Treasury Board Secretariat and Official Languages Requirements
While Departments are responsible for developing policies, programs and services that are compliant with overall government policies, including OLR, the Treasury Board Secretariat's (TBS) role is to review Treasury Board (TB) submissions and provide advice related to the integration of OLR. Bearing in mind that the appropriateness of OLR have been determined in the Memorandum to Cabinet, TBS analysts assess incoming submissions to determine whether the Department has taken OLR into account and ensure that OLR are considered at each phase of the policy/program development process related to the TB submission (see the Guide to Preparing Treasury Board Submissions, section 9.5 and Appendix E).
The Department and Official Languages Requirements
Deputy Heads are responsible to ensure that all their programs demonstrate how they respond to those requirements. Relevant information can be found in program Terms and Conditions, Program Guidelines, Application Form and its analysis (i.e. RAF), in some provision of the funding agreement, as well as in the recipient's eventual final report, if applicable.
1. Implementation of the language provisions of the Policy (PTP) and Directive on Transfer Payments (DTP)
A. At the program design stage
NOTE: In this guide, shaded text quotes the Policy and its Directive.
Transfer Payment Policy
Ensuring, when transfer payment programs support activities that benefit members of both official language communities, that their design and delivery respect the obligations of the Government of Canada as set out in Part VII of the Official Languages Act and that services and benefits are made available in both official languages in compliance with the Official Languages Act. (sec. 6.5.14)
Transfer Payment Directive
Core Design Elements (Appendix B, paragraph 22)
Departmental managers with responsibility for the design or redesign of a transfer payment program are expected to assess and document: the manner in which the obligations of the Government of Canada set out in the Official Languages Act are to be taken into account and, where relevant, applied in designing the transfer payment program.
From the time of a program's design or redesign, it is essential to analyze its impact on the government's official languages commitments in order to determine what measures will have to be taken to meet the obligations imposed by the Act. The analysis should consider various elements:
- targeted population ,
- the program's scope (international to local),
- symbolic importance of the initiatives,
- type of recipients,
- level of the federal contribution (financial or other).
This analysis may include:
- Findings of studies or consultations held by the program that elaborate on the program's priorities and explain the approach taken to official languages.
- Socio-demographic data analysis identifying,
- for example, the reasons for an integrated or separate approach for the two linguistic groups.
Conclusions may vary depending on the situation, but in all cases the analysis must be documented and make clear the reasons for the chosen approach, especially if it is determined that there is no impact. Any Memorandum to Cabinet or Treasury Board submission associated with the program must include this demonstration.
T & Cs provisions relating to grants (Appendix D, paragraph 10 ) and contributions (Appendix E, paragraph 12)
In cases where the program supports activities that may have an impact on members of either official language community, the terms and conditions must include:
- a description, where appropriate, of how the transfer payment program will respect the Government of Canada's obligations under Part VII of the Official Languages Act; and
- a description, where appropriate, of how the services or benefits will be made available in both official languages in accordance with the Official Languages Act.
If it is determined that the program supports activities that may have an impact on members of either official language minority groups, the terms and conditions must make mention of at least the following:
- measures to be implemented to support the development of official language minority communities and foster the full recognition and use of both English and French in Canadian society.
- when the recipients' activities are aimed at a public comprising both official language groups, or could have an impact on the promotion of Canada's bilingual character, at home or abroad, the funding agreement made with the recipient should specify the measures that will be taken in this regard and that the recipient has access to the necessary resources.
The terms and conditions may also include statements on:
- availability of demolinguistic data on the locations where the program will fund projects;
- resources, documents, publications and references enabling the recipients to meet their language obligations.
Provisions related to transfer payments to other orders of government (Appendix I, Part 1, paragraph 8)
Departmental managers responsible for preparing terms and conditions are to ensure that the following mandatory elements are addressed in the terms and conditions for the transfer payment program: A description of how the federal department will ensure that obligations set out in Part VII of the Official Languages Act will be taken into account and, where relevant, applied.
The description included in the terms and conditions should consider the nature of the constitutional jurisdictions concerned, since the possible requirements may vary for federal, provincial or shared jurisdictions.
Provisions related to transfer payments to foreign recipients (Appendix J, Part B, paragraph 12)
Departmental managers are to ensure that the funding agreement also addresses the following elements where they are relevant: Provisions outlining the foreign recipient's responsibilities to make services or benefits available in both of Canada's official languages.
In the context of the Policy, "foreign recipients" are limited to foreign States or organizations of States.
The provisions outlined should consider, in particular, the opportunity for the project to promote Canada's bilingualism abroad.
The PTP indicates that a program may either provide funding directly to a recipient or choose the select a third party to distribute the funds based on agreed upon terms and conditions.
Because transfer payments do not result in the acquisition of any goods, services or assets by the Government of Canada, (s. 3.1) the recipient should not, in principle, represent a third party acting on behalf of the government.
In the case of an exception to this principle, the situation should be considered in light of section 25 of the Act which states that services provided on behalf of a federal institution are subject to Treasury Board requirements relating official languages in the provision of services and communication with the public
Program managers are invited to contact the Centre of Expertise and their legal advisor for the application of the OLA in funding agreements with third party recipients.
B. At the program delivery stage
Transfer Payment Directive
Funding Agreement Provisions for Grants (Appendix F, paragraph 16) and Contributions (Appendix G, paragraph 37)
In cases where the terms and conditions have identified that the transfer payment program may have an impact on members of either official language community, where appropriate, the agreement must include:
- a clause outlining the manner in which the recipient's activities will support the Government of Canada's obligation to enhance the vitality of the official language minorities in Canada and support and assist their development as well as foster the full recognition and use of both English and French in Canadian society; and
- a description of how the services or benefits will be made available in both official languages in accordance with the Official Languages Act.
When it is determined that the program supports activities that may have an impact on members of either official language minority community, the institution must clearly inform the potential recipients about the language obligations that may result from their agreement to be supported by public funds (for example, via the call letter).
When it is determined that the activities of a specific recipient may have an impact on members of both official language groups (in most cases, involving a program aimed at a public composed of both linguistic groups):
- The agreement between the two parties must specify the recipient's commitments, particularly with regard to services to the public, if appropriate. (See sections 2 and 3)
- The capacity and commitment of the recipient to meet the official languages requirements become criteria for obtaining funding.
- The recipient has access to the required tools to provide these services in both official languages .
- It is therefore necessary to take into account the funds required to comply with the language clauses during the review of funding granted to the recipient.
- In the case of a contribution, the institution must establish the appropriate evaluation and control measures to ensure adequate follow-up.
2. Determination of Language Clauses: First Analysis
Factors to consider / Examples of questions to raise
- Target population:
- Is the directly targeted population composed of individuals or groups belonging to both linguistic communities?
- In the general public, what is the level of potential demand for services in both official languages?
- If, by its very nature, the project is aimed at only one linguistic group (e.g. film festival, cultural event for an official-language minority community), could it be promoted to the other group to encourage increased understanding between the two groups?
- Opportunity for the official-language minority community to participate in the project:
- Does the project present an opportunity to promote the participation or representation of the official-language minority community (e.g. a cultural or heritage event in an area where there is a large official-language minority population)
Project scope:
- Is the project national in scope and highly likely to reach both language groups?
- If the project is local in scope, is it delivered in a region with a significant official language minority?
- Symbolic importance of project:
- Does the project have significant historical, cultural, sporting interest, or other?
- Does the project relate to the visibility of Canadian identity abroad?
- Nature of recipient:
- Is the recipient a national organization that should clearly have a concern for official languages?
- Does the nature of the recipient raise public policy issues broader than the funding agreement concerned, as in the case of an agreement with a province?
- Level of federal contribution:
- Is the federal contribution low or high?: this, in conjunction with the other factors could affect the nature and scope of language requirements to be requested
3. Model Language Clauses: Principles
Notes on the approach for selecting a clause
- Based on the answers to the previous questions and on the overall project analysis, the program officer/manager should determine a language requirement level that, in his/her analysis, best addresses the known official languages needs and opportunities. Given the wide variety of possible situations, these requirements may vary considerably from one case to another.
- In the case of third-party agreements, the agreement must spell out the OL requirements for both the immediate and the ultimate recipients.
- However, for every case, similar situations should have comparable language requirements. The validity of a given language clause is closely related to how consistent it is with another. This is where the advisory role of the Centre of Expertise comes into play.
- The proposed clauses :
- are generic. They obviously cannot account for the specific details and issues of each funding agreement, which means that the program officer/manager must make the necessary clarifications, where required – including requirements other than those relating to language of service;
- are presented in order from minimum to maximum requirement, and relate to some or all of the following aspects of the project *:
- recognition of Canadian Heritage support
- general information about the project
- signage
- services
- refer to the opportunity for the official-language minority community to "participate" in the project design, delivery and/or public event.
* In each case, it will be important to specify, where necessary, the recipient's intended communication methods that will be subject to bilingual requirements (i.e. by phone, in person, in writing or online).
Model Language Clauses
The funding agreement requires that as a minimum
- The recipient is to ensure that the acknowledgement of the Department's support for the project is expressed in English and French. ( http://www.pch.gc.ca/pc-ch/peaf-pafa/index-eng.cfm )
In addition, the funding agreement may require that, as appropriate,
1. very low level requirement
The recipient is to ensure that:
- basic project information is developed and is available in English and French
- the official-language minority community is invited to participate in the project public event.
2. low level requirement
The recipient is to ensure that:
- basic project information is developed and is available in English and French
- main signage components are in English and French; and
- the official-language minority community is invited to participate in the project public event, where appropriate.
3. medium level requirement
The recipient is to ensure that:
- basic project information is developed and is available in English and French
- all signage related to the project is in English and French;
- basic service (e.g. reception can provide bilingual resources or staff, upon request) and communication (publicity, public notices, etc.) is available in English and French; and
- the official-language community is invited to participate in the project public event, where appropriate
4. high level requirement
The recipient is to ensure that:
- all/most basic project information is developed and is available in English and French
- all signage, communication and services are available and offered in English and French; and
- the official-language minority community is invited to participate in the project design,delivery and public event, where appropriate.

This questionnaire only applies to program branches (NCR)
Questionnaire on Official Languages Requirements in Canadian Heritage Programs
The 2008 Policy on Transfer Payments (PTP) and its Directive (DTP) mandates federal departments to meet the requirements of the Official Languages Act(OLA) in the design and delivery of transfer payments, and in related communications and reporting.
Deputy Heads are responsible to ensure that all their programs demonstrate how they respond to those requirements. Relevant information can be found in program Terms and Conditions, Program Guidelines, Application Form and its analysis (i.e. RAF), in some provision of the funding agreement, as well as in the recipient's eventual final report, if applicable.
The attached questionnaire is designed to help programs better meet official languages requirements pertaining to Part VII - section 41* of the OLA. The information submitted will represent a baseline of official languages requirements for all programs in the Department; the best practices drawn from it will be shared with programs allowing them to make some changes to ensure a more uniform approach across the Department. Namely, this information will be very useful for program officers who have to spell out official languages requirements in funding agreements.
Please return the questionnaire approved by your director general before April 30, 2010 to your sectoral coordinator.
You can refer to the Guide to Establish Official Languages Requirements in PCH programs (click here) . http://kcs/fmb-dgf/catgccentre/docs/Lentille_LO_Guide%20PCH_En.pdf
Note: This Guide was presented to Managers and Program Officers at the September 2009 national training on grants and contributions management. It has also been presented to Branches Management Meetings in the Fall of 2009.
* Part VII - section 41of the OLA pertains to the federal government's commitment to support the development of official-language minority communities and to enhance English and French in Canadian society.

I absolutely loved my wedding dress and hope someone else will too! It's a magnificent mermaid/fit-and-flare dress made of duchess satin with pleated bodice and ruching cascading on skirt and train. It originally came with a flower on the side of the dropped waist which I removed, but I can send it with the dress and it can easily be reattached. There is a sweetheart neckline and satin covered buttons in back. The color is a soft white. This dress is very easy to move around and dance in, plus make you feel very pretty on your special day! One reason I love this dress is because it's simple enough to allow for more accessories and fun jewelry. I wore a birdcage veil during the ceremony and for the reception added a fun pinned in hair piece to my up 'do.

Simple - Smith & Wesson for everyone. Why? - because I own S&W stock, that's why.
Printable View
Simple - Smith & Wesson for everyone. Why? - because I own S&W stock, that's why.
Springfield Armory
Even though I don't own one (yet, in a week this will change) it would have to be the beretta m9. I absolutly LOVE this gun. The way it feels and shoots.
My old faithful 1300 Defender tactical. I've updated her with the M-4 stock and pump kit. Put thousands of rounds through her. Perfect for home defense and zombie invasions alike. Doesn't jam or complain.
Failing that, my Desert Eagle. It may not be the best all-around handgun, but it would sure make me look cool on the way out.
Sig P220 Carry
I voted Sig before I got my second Sig so now it is still the same manufacture but now it would be the 239 and not my 226.
They are both very accurate and i like the trigger on both but the 239 is smaller and would allow concealed carry for me.
In truth I would hate to part with either of them as I have become a Smith, Ruger, Glock, etc, convert. Nothing wrong with
my other guns or those other brands I do not own but these Sig's are going to bankrupt me with 9mm ammo as I can not stay
away from the range with the damn things.
BE safe, Frank.
S&w m&p .45
Well, I'm kind of in love with my FNX 45...so I'll go with that.
Ruger SR40
Mmmmm I'd say Glock 23 .40 caliber
Freedom Arms M97 44 Special
I currently only own one... HK P2000 V3 9mm.
I could make do with a SIG, but I'm shocked that Beretta wasn't on the list. :buttkick:
Chiming in to add Beretta. 92fs was made for me. Feels like it anyway. :)
another vote for Glock here, specifically my G22. it has nice power, shoots and reacquires the target well and has never failed me.
sure, i own other brands like Sig, CZ, Walther, Steyr and Smith. but when it comes down to it, i reach for a Glock.
FN 5.7 Fiveseven. 20 round mag. Very Very accurate, almost no recoil.
This thread just keeps going and I find it to be depressing. We need a thread that says, "If you could have only 10 firearms what would they be?" Guns are kind of like cookies and potato chips, you can't have just one. I vote for a top ten thread next time. :)
Beretta all the way. Why do people always tend to never mention Beretta. I would think a manufacturer of guns for over 500 years is doing something right. lol
one gun only for the rest of my life?
Simple, my CZ 375 Holland & Holland.
One?! Don't even want to have to think along those lines. As a reloader, a Smith 44 offers a very wide spectrum of useage. From "OH,MY" to mouse farts. Shoot it enough to be pleased with both ends of this round's abilites. Not likely to ever jam, and no springs to change according to load.
Colt 1911 .45 ACP
I know this is a handgun forum, but only 1 gun, It would have to be a Remington 870 12 Ga. with the varriety of shells available it will do anything you need.
I would pick an AR, so I'd pick Rock River, since that's the only one I own and am familiar with. Since it's a handgun forum, I'll use my vote for a Glock 19 (I'd like to bring along my 17 round G34 mags, however).
Does a M4/M26 combo count as one?

Let $G = ({\Large\ast}^n\mathbb{Z})/K$ be a group, and for each $g \in G$ define $l(g)$ as the smallest positive integer $m$ such that $g = g_1 \ldots g_m$, where each $g_i$ is a generator of $G$. Now let $H < G$. The problem is finding $\operatorname{arg\,min}_{g \in H \setminus \{1\}} l(g)$.
My motivation is the commutator-based magic' puzzle posted by Gil Kalai here, which boils down to finding a non-trivial element of $\bigcap_{i=1}^n \operatorname{ker}p_i$, where $p_i: {\Large\ast}_{j = 1}^n \mathbb{Z}a_j \to {\Large\ast}_{j \neq i}\mathbb{Z}a_j$ is defined by $p_i(a_j) = a_j$ when $i \neq j$ and $p_i(a_i) = 1$. One non-trivial element is $[\ldots[a_1, a_2], a_3], \ldots], a_n]$, but I heard people complaining that it's too long and the corresponding loop will be too hard to draw, so I'm now interested in finding a smaller solution, if it exists.
Are there any known theorems concerning this kind of problems or any techniques I could try or any references I could read?
