Ankle carry is good as a back up gun, would never put my primary gun there as it is too slow and hard to get to when you need it in a hurry.
This is a discussion on Ankle Holsters? ~ Pro/Cons? within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; my duty bug goes in one. just make sure it isa small gun and you get a good holster. the cheap ones don't work well ...
my duty bug goes in one. just make sure it isa small gun and you get a good holster. the cheap ones don't work well and will hurt before the day is out.
An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.
Red State State of Mind
Ankle carry is good as a back up gun, would never put my primary gun there as it is too slow and hard to get to when you need it in a hurry.
I wear boots for safety. Ankle holster is totally out for that application. (Unless bellbottoms came back into style.)
My work, commercial HVAC, Refrigeration and Industrial Maintenance is too nasty of an occupation to wear a weapon that close to the ground and keep it reasonably clean.
Front pocket and rear pocket holsters and smaller guns are my only real opton but I feel safe in that regard.
Just my thoughs..
I carry my Glock 26 to temple on the high holy holidays in a ankle rig. Sitting all day long. I would have to keep my jacket buttoned the whole time with a shoulder rig. I have looked into the undershirt with the pocket under the arm.
I carry an M&Pc in an ankle rig. It isn't fast, but it is concealable. One place it does shine is when driving. If you drive a truck or SUV, it is faster to get to than anything on your hip.
Sure, for BUG; never for a primary. I'd be more likely to use a cross-draw holster than an ankle holster. I believe nearly all holster locations offer certain advantages, but for the most part I really don't like ankle carry unless it is for a BUG.
Beretta 92FS
I got a cheap one off of e-bay, like $15 or $19. The key for me was the cant. If the gun is straight up and down, the barrell sits on my ankle bone. After 10 minutes of that or a walk of longer than 10 feet it is downright painful. With the cant it not only gets the barrell off of my ankle, but it puts the butt of the gun more in line with my leg so it doesn't stick out. GOOD concealment. Carry gun is a Bersa Thunder 380.
If you do get one I would recommend a small lightweight pistol such as a Keltec P3AT or a Ruger LCP. Even carrying a S&W J frame sized revolver is painful to the ankle. I would also get one that was padded to provide more comfort in that area. Quality and padding is the key to comfort here IMHO.
God bless our troops!

"Supernatural" is entering into its final three episodes of season 8 following the awesome "Pac-Man Fever" hot on its heels. "The Great Escapist" is episode 21 and it looks to be packed full of Winchester angst and drama. Now, watching the promo it looks to be a pretty packed episode. Last week's episode, "Pac-Man Fever" had guest star Felicia Day as Charlie, the smart and lovable computer geek. She has been a breath of fresh air to the show and has now been back three times to "Supernatural" and with luck will return again in season 9.
The CW released the episode synopsis for "The Great Escapist" -
FEELING LUCKY TONIGHT? — When Sam and Dean receive a distressing video message from Kevin Tran (guest star Osric Chau), they set about trying to uncover the Third Trial. The boys make a discovery that sends them to a casino in Colorado, to find a mysterious recluse (guest star Curtis Armstrong) who may be able to fill in the holes in Kevin's research. Meanwhile, Crowley (guest star Mark Sheppard) is on a winning streak. Castiel tries to elude Naomi (guest star Amanda Tapping) and the angels hunting him. Robert Duncan McNeill directed the episode written by Ben Edlund.
If you've seen the movie "Revenge of the Nerds" then you will recognize the actor portraying Metatron. The viewers have a Ben Edlund script to look forward with this episode and his writing usually proves to pack a huge punch with the fans. It seems very fitting that Edlund kicks off the first of the final three episodes of season 8.
Watch "The Great Escapist" this Wednesday night on the CW at 9 p.m. (EST). Buckle your seatbelts for the remaining episodes of the season that will most likely prove to be a very rough ride to the season finale sure to hold more than one cliffhanger which airs on May 15.
Watch the short promo for episode 21 -- Here and the sneak peek above on the side panel!

ASHLAND — Defending champion Emma Jandel used a big closing run to come from behind and win the 2007 Women's Ohio Amateur championship Friday. Individual medalist Kathleen Ekey jumped to a 6-hole lead with 13 to play in the 36-hole final. Jandel squared it at 16 apiece, then birdied the first playoff hole at the Country Club of Ashland.Â
Sharon Township resident Ekey, who won the event in 2005, had a 6-up lead after 23 holes only to watch Jandel fight back. Jandel is the 10th player to win back-to-back championships. The last to do it was Diana Schwab, who won in 1989 and 1990.Â
Suzi Spotelson won the championship consolation flight. Rachel Levi won the first flight, Alexandra Brown won the second flight and Stacey Stutz won the third flight.Â

Logan Stiner is the prom king who died of a caffeine overdose after ingesting caffeine powder. The death came just days before the teen's high school graduation, and his sudden death stunned everybody who knew him. Huffington Post shared the details on Tuesday.
Stiner's brother found him unresponsive on the floor and called 911 on May 27 around 11 a.m. Though authorities initially thought Logan's death was from natural causes, his mother found caffeine powder at the home wondered if it might be related to the teen's sudden death. It took a month, but now an autopsy has confirmed that the power caused the teen's death. The Chronicle-Telegram reports that Stiner had 70 micrograms of caffeine per milliliter of blood in his system.
As a point of comparison, an energy drink typically has three to 15 micrograms of caffeine in it. Fifty micrograms is said to be a lethal dose. Stiner was known as a healthy teen who only drank coffee once in a while and he didn't do drugs. His mother, Katie Stiner, was unaware that he was consuming caffeine powder. She indicated that he once mentioned something he took as a "pre-workout," but she did not know he was putting his life at risk.
It has been determined that Logan did not have any heart conditions. It is said he took some of the pure caffeine powder on the day of his death. He then had a seizure and cardiac arrhythmia and those together led to his death. It seems likely he had no idea the powder was putting his life at risk. Logan Stiner had been a wrestler and popular student, and he had planned to attend the University of Toledo to study chemical engineering.

What if I told you I think I've discovered the keys to staying young, vibrant and content with your life — even when unexpected challenges arrive? Would you believe me? Well, let me build my case.
Immediately, one thing comes to mind when I think of a person who seems perpetually young. She embraces change. Don't you know certain people who are always ready to join in and get involved? Whether the invitation is to try a new restaurant; experiment with a current fashion trend; learn a new skill; take a trip; or whatever. You just know the answer will be a resounding 'Yes!' They don't think twice about stepping outside of their comfort zone to explore new possibilities.
Question: If you're on a trip and things just aren't working out as planned, do you find yourself getting anxious, or can you roll with the punches? Are you able to adapt and go with an "adventure" scenario when your original plans fall apart?
I think we can all probably agree that life is constantly changing. Thankfully, we don't know what is around the corner at any given time. Two parallel tracks run in our lives, and they represent good and bad things that happen. Both tracks run, all the time. Good things happen in the midst of bad, and vice versa. Sometimes it seems as though one track has gotten lost because events seem to happen in clusters, but actually elements of both happen all the time. Even when you face a devastating tragedy, you can look around and still identify blessings in your own life and all around you. You may have to look a bit deeper to see them when times are really difficult or painful, but gratitude is possible even then.
The next scenario is more serious. Something unexpected happens that not only changes your life right now, but also your future. What if the most important person in your life suddenly dies? Instantly, this event changes everything inside and around you. How do you go on when a tragedy of this magnitude happens? Can you adjust?
Have you guessed the keys? If you think the answer is resilience, flexibility, adapting to change and gratitude, you're right!
Resilience enables you to get back up when you've been knocked down. You may fall, but you aren't going to stay down. You're determined to get up and keep going. You remember where you're headed. Your life may take a different direction moving forward, but you're willing to make the best of whatever presents itself. You've set your mind to be persistent.
Let's face it. If tragedy hasn't touched your life yet, you've been extremely fortunate. I don't say this to scare or depress you, but tragedy and loss will touch your life sooner or later. I didn't expect to become a widow at 47 years old. I know of three women whose husbands were taken from them while riding motorcycles to or from work. I'm sure you know people who have been fired; lost their homes or their fortunes; have loved ones who committed suicide or unexpectedly developed life-threatening illnesses; and on and on.
Even though we wish our lives could be safe from tragedy, it is part of life. What will you do when tragedy comes? Will you act with strength and determination and ultimately, in time, accept and adapt to the changes? I'm a strong believer in the fact that your attitude is more important than almost anything in life. Attitude has been shown to be the single most decisive factor in determining the direction and quality of our lives, success or failure, happiness or dissatisfaction.
Life is always pitching us curves. The curve balls can be something as minor as the movie you planned to see is sold out; or the restaurant you had your heart set on trying is booked solid; or the dress you wanted to buy is sold out in your size. Or the curve balls can be devastating. Can you learn to be flexible? Do you think you'll be happier and more satisfied if you are flexible? Isn't it worth a shot?

Daniel Johns And Those GayRumours
- 7
Mon 31st Mar, 2008 in Local News
Paul Mac has spoken out about those Daniel Johns gay rumours, calling them "bullshit" and "distressing". Fairfax reports that the Silverchair singer "went through hell" after breaking up with former wife Natalie Imbruglia and the magazine gossip didn't help.
"[Rumours that we were lovers were] distressing, the fact that your best friend's going through a really tough time and there's all these bullshit stories in magazines that don't take into account the feelings of either person…" said Paul Mac. "Particularly for him because it was a pretty horrible time," Mac told Fairfax.
"It was more upsetting the fact that [magazine journalists] do that, and people read that, and people probably believe that, so that was the more distressing thing. Yeah, I mean… what do you do? I just try and put as little energy into that kind of bullshit as I can."
The breakup between Johns and Imbruglia was splashed across the papers earlier this year. While rumours of why they split abounded, the divorce has been put down to the pressures of having a long distance relationship.

The good news? Gas is pretty cheap these days — as low as $2.02 a gallon in the Philadelphia area, according to one website.
The not-quite-as-thrilling news? The gas isn't quite as cheap as it could be: Pennsylvania now has the highest gas taxes in the country.
"Pennsylvania has passed New York and California by earning the dubious distinction of having the highest gasoline taxes in the nation, " Greg Laskoski writes at GasBuddy.com. "Combined with the federal gas tax of 18.4 cents per gallon, Pennsylvania's state tax of 50.5 cpg. brings the combined tax to 68.9 cents per gallon. Californians pay 63.7 cents per gal., New Yorkers pay 63.4 cents per gal., according to the American Petroleum Institute."

Bookmaker announces plans to shut more than 100 stores as machine gambling duty goes up.
15:58, UK, Friday 25 April 2014
Betting group William Hill has blamed the Chancellor's tax increase on high-stake gambling machines for planned shop closures, as it reports a 14% fall in first quarter operating profit.
William Hill told Sky News that it would try to minimise redundancies among the 420 staff at risk of losing their jobs and it hoped to redeploy many of those affected.
The betting chain has 2,434 sites in the UK - 109 of its worst-performing outlets are to close.
Ralph Topping, chief executive of William Hill, said: "This is particularly disappointing as, through the economic downturn, we have worked hard to grow our retail base but this further planned increase in indirect taxation makes this action necessary".
George Osborne announced a hike in gaming duty in last month's Budget from 20% to 25% on machines that charge more than £5 to play.
Critics of problem gambling see fixed-odds terminals as particularly addictive, as they can accept wagers of up to £300 a minute.
And while they welcomed the Chancellor's move, the industry was furious.
William Hill said at the time that the increase in tax would cost it around £22m a year. Its rival Ladbrokes, which makes more than half its profits from the machines, has also warned it will close shops.
In January, the Labour Party lost a parliamentary vote calling for local authorities to be given powers to restrict the growth of the controversial, high-prize terminals.
The bookmaker said its results were additionally hit by big payouts over two weekends when popular football teams won their matches.
It hoped to recover profit later in the year with heavy betting on the World Cup in June and July.
The majority of City analysts have a "buy" rating on William Hill.
Numis Securities analyst Ivor Jones called it "a market leader which has seen a trough in trading in the first quarter of 2014".
Shares in the group were up 2.3% in morning trades, before they eased to 1.8%.

I had to go anonymous for this question... It embarrasses me!!!
If you have a relationship with someone, and it's all good, everything, including the "fun" prior to the sex, but the sex is absolutely dreadful.... What would you do?
How do you talk to someone you're involved with about this? How do you explain that it's just awful... But, all of the rest of it is just simply fantastic!! The conversation, the cuddling, the foreplay, the time we spend together... It's all just wonderful. I'm having such a hard time with this. I thought the 1st time was bad just because it was the 1st time... But then the 2nd time was worse....
How do you handle it?? What would you do?

Intellectual Property Rights and Copyright
Intellectual Property Rights
What is Intellectual Property? According to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the concept of intellectual property refers to "creations of the mind." Intellectual property gets legal protection from the federal government, and from international organizations and treaties. Scholars and researchers use references to acknowledge their information sources as a form of intellectual property.
Intellectual property is owned by its creator or a person or entity that has acquired the rights to it.
Here are some forms of legal protection for intellectual property:
•Copyright safeguards textual, pictorial, and other creative works
•Patents protects processes and products that offer new technical solutions
•Trademarks ensure the connection of goods and services with a specific creator
•Geographical indications confirm a product's origin in a specific location
•Industrial designs may be registered for protection
Additionally, intellectual property also refers to music, lyrics, videos, and images including photographs.
Denmark Technical College has adopted an Intellectual Property Rights Policy.
What is Copyright? Copyright is a form of legal protection for authors of original works, including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and other intellectual products.
Section 106 of the Copyright Act (90 Stat 2541) generally gives the owner of copyright the exclusive right to do and to authorize others to do the following:
•Reproduce copies of the work.
•Prepare derivative works based on the copyrighted work.
•Distribute copies of the work by sale, rental, lease, or lending.
•Publicly perform the work (if it is a literary, musical, dramatic, or choreographic work or a pantomime, motion picture or audiovisual work).
•Publicly display the work (if it is a literary, musical, dramatic, or choreographic, sculptural, graphic or pictorial work—including the individual images of a film – or a pantomime).
The copyright owner retains these rights when the work itself belongs to someone else.
Denmark Technical College has adopted a Copyright policy:
The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material.
Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use," that user may be liable for copyright infringement.
This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.
Photocopy Machines
Every photocopy machine on campus should visibly display the following communication on each copier:
Notice: The copyright law of the United States (Title 17 U.S. Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. The person using this equipment is liable for any infringement.

Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers
Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers – 'A Storybook of Colour'
For over sixty years the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers has been showcasing picturesque local resident's gardens, public parks and the creative designs of contestants in the Grand Central Floral Parade. Every year the festival gets more popular with up to 100,000 visitors flocking to the town to delight in spring floral frivolity, a number which more than doubles the local population.
The theme for the 2013 Grand Central Floral Parade is 'A Storybook of Colour" which is sure to result in some stunning displays of floral design. Even watchers are encouraged to contribute as helpers hand out coloured chalk with which to decorate the pavements that line the parade path.
Culture to Couture
It is an annual event that brings $30 million dollars to Toowoomba's economy thanks to visitors spending on average 2 nights in the town to experience all the festival has to offer. There is much to do and experience with the mix of cultural, artistic and culinary events to inspire and entertain. Carnival attendees can learn to arrange bridal bouquets before enjoying the merging of culture and fashion design in the Culture to Couture exhibition. There are also tours to take of the prize winning gardens and public parks to truly experience the spring beauty of Toowoomba.
Food and Wine
The carnival's Food and Wine Festival component is enough to capture anyone's culinary interests. Interested parties can take the Progressive Food and Wine Tour which offers a gourmet experience featuring Preston Peak Winery and Gip Restaurant. There is also the Talking Pubs Tour to indulge in local brews teamed with gourmet food delights. A Paddock to Plate tour gives people the opportunity to meet the growers of local produce and enjoy a relaxed country barbeque in the heart of the farming location.
A Competition in Full Bloom
Toowoomba's festival focal point is the flower garden competition. There are a number of avid participants in the competition but none as fierce as the battle between Ida and Glen Kendrick and Arch and Julie Roggeveen. Between the two Carnival of Flowers power couples it is hard to determine which has won the most prizes over the history of the Chronicle Garden Competition. Ida and Glen have said they grow about 8,000 flowering annuals every year which is an impressive feat all on its own. In 2012 the couple believe that over 20,000 people came to explore and enjoy their prize winning garden.
If you are interested in attending the 2013 Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers it will be on from September 20th until the 29th. Golden Chain Motels is excited to see the flower competitions and friendly faces that come to explore the city in all its splendour. This year is set to be the best that Toowoomba has seen and the Regional Council knows there will be something for everyone.

College Hockey:Hilbert Leaves Michigan for Boston
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The Wolverines have lost another player to the NHL.
Two months after top defenseman Jeff Jillson bolted for San Jose, Andy Hilbert told Michigan coach Red Berenson Monday that he will not return for his junior season at Michigan. The 37th overall draft pick by the Bruins in 2000 will play for the NHL Boston Bruins next season.
"They told him that they've already penciled him in on their team next year," Berenson said.
Hilbert had no comment. He will address the media Tuesday.
At the core of Hilbert's decision was the chance for an open spot on the Bruins, not the money.
"The money would have been there next year," Berenson said. "If he thought he would end up in the minors, he wouldn't have made this decision. They can't guarantee that this spot will be open next year."
The Bruins, who are rebuilding, could use some help at center, and Hilbert can fit in their plans for next season.
Hilbert is the fourth member of the Wolverines to leave the team for the pros in the past three years. Jillson said he would leave for the Sharks in May. In 1999 and 2000, the Wolverines lost stars Mike Van Ryn (St. Louis) and Mike Comrie (Edmonton) to major juniors, when both players tried to become NHL free agents.
"I told him another year would have been good for him," Berenson said. "My concern was consistency. On some nights he would not be out of place in the NHL."
Hilbert tallied 26 goals and 38 assists in 42 games and was a Hobey Baker finalist for the Wolverines this past season.
"He has an NHL-shot and the kid is as focused as any player I have had," Berenson said. "I won't be surprised if he's playing next season."
Despite the sudden flood of early-pro entries, the Wolverines have found a way to continually secure deep recruiting classes. He has one of the best this fall, including six forwards and four defensemen. And he has top goal-scoring center Mike Cammalleri to fill in for Hilbert.
"You can't prepare for it," Berenson said of the losses. "We've tried to have enough depth to handle the losses."
The stock of college hockey players has risen dramatically over the last 10 years, as more and more top prospects choose to go to school instead of junior leagues.
"It used to be a big jump for a player to go from college to the pros," Berenson said. Berenson doesn't take his players leaving as an insult. "It's a compliment to our program when you look at the kids we've brought in," he said.

I am running Windows 7 and have adjusted something which has caused all of my shortcuts and program icons to show the same program namely Adobe Reader and when I click on any of the icon or shortcuts they only open Adobe reader, I have reinstalled Windows 7 But this has made no change, I posted this question yesterday but apparently with not enough information I hope this is better and someone can help.
It appears you managed to associate Windows shortcuts with Acrobat Reader. Here's how you can check:
Go to Control Panel, Programs and select "Associate a file type..." in the "Default programs" section. There, you scroll down to ".lnk" (in the "name" column) and see the current default is "Adobe Reader" or anything other than "Unknown Application" (that's how it should be).
If the former is the case, you're pretty screwed. There's two ways to recover from this issue:
You can try to restore the LNK handler to default state, but it's not fail-safe.
You can create a new user in the Control Panel. The issue should not persist to that user, since file associations made by one user don't affect other users. Keep in mind, though, that you'll have to transfer settings and files from your old user, so this involves some work.
Also, I don't think you performed a proper re-install (you have to boot from the Windows DVD and select "Custom install").
I've had a friend of mine experience the same problem. The only way that I could think of was to right click on a file thats been affected, and click on Open With, then Choose Default Programme. Select the program that should open this program and then click on the checkbox that says "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file".
Sorry that I can't think of a quicker way, but this way will at least get you back up and running using the most important files in their respective programmes.
If you go to
There, you see a list of applications on the left, and two buttons at the bottom - "Set this program as default" and "Choose defaults for this program". The dialog windows are pretty self explanatory.

Today is World Social Work Day, as mandated by the International Federation of Social Workers. Looking for a way to honor social workers? Sign a virtual thank you card created by Safe Horizon, a victim services agency based in New York City.
Last Wednesday, Safe Horizon, an agency that offers support to children, adults and families who are affected by crime and abuse every year, launched an online form where people can write a note expressing their gratitude for social workers. As of Tuesday afternoon, 1,503 people signed the card.
More than 400 Safe Horizon employees conduct social work in the five boroughs every day, reaching 250,000 New Yorkers each year, according to the official website. The organization wanted to recognize the challenges that social workers face on the job, said David Beasley, Safe Horizon's public relations manager.
"One of the best ways to acknowledge that is to send a thank you card or give everyone who may have been impacted by social workers a more general way to acknowledge them," Beasley said.
Beasley stressed the importance of being inclusive when acknowledging social workers, praising social workers who have licenses but also giving credit to people who are not traditionally considered social workers.
"We can't leave out all the additional support staff members like case managers or residential specialists who are on call 24/7," Beasley added. "They are providing support and doing the social work of bearing witness in these cases of crisis and often trauma."
At the end of the month, the organization plans to present its social workers with a printed oversized thank you card at a pizza lunch. It will also create a post on its website in which it presents the card, the number of people who signed, looked at and shared it on social media.

The Ypres Salient Battlefields, Belgium
A salient is an area of the battlefield that extends into enemy territory and is surrounded on three sides. The Ypres Salient is centered around the ancient town of Ypres in Belgium (now known by its modern Flemish name — Ieper). The Ypres Salient was formed after the German Army was prevented from capturing Ypres in November 1914. From that time a tactically advantageous German Front Line was established on the slightly higher ground that surrounded the town to the north, east and south of it.
As you stand in the main square of Ypres and survey the ornate buildings around you it is hard to believe that the whole area was razed to the ground during the war and then later completely rebuilt.
Visitors to the Ypres Salient have been increasing steadily over recent years. There are now a number of good museums to visit, accommodation for visitors is plentiful and there are a growing number of tour companies and guides eager to explain the history of the area.
Local Events
Events on the Ypres Salient Battlefields
Last Post Ceremony
Every evening at 20.00 hours the road running through the Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing is closed to traffic. Buglers of the Last Post Association step out under the memorial to play Last Post as a daily ceremony of Remembrance.

Armistice Day Commemoration
11th November is a public holiday in Belgium. The town of Ypres/Ieper commemorates the Armistice of November 1918 with a number of events including The Poppy Parade and a Special Last Post at 11.00 hours as an act of Remembrance at the Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing.
Annual Armistice Day Commemoration
Battles of the Ypres Salient
Within the first few months of the outbreak of the Great War the Ypres Salient witnessed the first of several major battles to occur there before the war ended on 11th November 1918. The major battles comprised:
- First Battle of Ypres, (19 October - 22 November 1914)
- Second Battle of Ypres (Battle Study) , (22 April - 25 May 1915)
- Battle of Messines, (7 - 14 June 1917)
- Third Battle of Ypres (Battle of Passchendaele), (31 July - 10 November 1917)
- Fourth Battle of Ypres - Battle of the Lys, (9 April - 29 April 1918)

Towns & Villages
Ypres - Ieper
The medieval town of Ypres (nowadays called by its Flemish name Ieper) was located at the centre of the 1914-1918 battlefields of the Ypres Salient. Ypres was razed to the ground during four years of fighting.
Towns & Villages of the Ypres Salient Battlefields
The Ypres Salient battlefields today offer numerous public and private museums. These museums contain resources ranging from rare battlefield artefacts and archive collections to original trench systems. Education Services are also available for school parties at the larger museums.
The scale of military casualties from the German, French and British Armies during the battles of the Ypres Salient amounted to several hundred thousand dead. Their graves are marked by over 100 military burial grounds on the old Ypres Salient 1914-1918 battlefields.
Monuments & Memorials
In addition to the military cemeteries, there are a number of large memorials to commemorate the names of "The Missing", those servicemen whose bodies were never found or could not be identified. These memorials commemorate those who have no known grave in the Ypres Salient. There are also memorials to individuals, military units and civilians.
Battlefield Remains
There are numerous sites to visit in the Ypres Salient where remains of the fighting can be seen. These include trenches, mine craters and concrete bunkers.

The story of rock and roll is often reduced to a happy mix of rhythm and blues and country music, but it is actually a far richer and more complicated comingling of styles, genres, instruments, cultures and people. For our Rock and Roll Night School last night, my colleagues and I researched a rather famous moment in rock and roll history featuring some of its greatest musicians playing together at an impromptu jam session at Sam Phillips' Sun Studios in Memphis on December 4, 1956. Coined the "Million Dollar Quartet" by local journalist Bob Johnson who stopped by to chronicle the session, I was struck by the versatility of these legends and the diverse repertory they had in their wheelhouse.
Earlier that day, rockabilly king Carl Perkins had recorded some songs with Sun newcomer Jerry Lee Lewis on piano. Former Sun superstar (and then RCA recording artist) Elvis Presley was home for the holidays and dropped by with his girlfriend. Johnny Cash swung by for a time as well. As the musicians began to play together, Phillips placed a microphone in the middle of the room and pressed record. What followed were hours of musical exchange, experimentation, improvisation, imitation ...
May 4, 1970 marked the 40th anniversary of the shootings at Kent State University, when four students were killed and nine wounded by the Ohio National Guard during student protests of the U.S. invasion of Cambodia. As part of the commemorations, the Rock Hall's Education department put together a panel at KSU on rock and roll and the Vietnam war. There are, of course, rock and roll songs about the Kent State shootings—most famously, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's single "Ohio"/"Find the Cost of Freedom," recorded just weeks after May 4th. But I wanted to tell a wider story about the role that rock and roll played in our understanding of the Vietnam war, how protestors, soldiers, and civilians made sense of the war and its aftermath through the music. It was, as Samuel Freedman wrote, the first war to be "fought to a rock and roll soundtrack."
I spent the afternoon on the KSU campus, listening to the many speakers who came together as part of the commemoration. Speakers included Florence Schroeder, mother of slain student William Schroeder; Russ Miller, brother of slain student Jeffrey Miller; Joe Lewis, a student who was shot and wounded ...
This past week, Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C) offered its 31st annual Jazz Fest in the city of Cleveland with events that ranged from community programs to all-star jazz performances. This year the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum partnered with the Jazz Fest to offer two evening programs that explored the connections between jazz and rock.
On Monday April 19th the Rock Hall screened the film Miles Electric: A Different Kind of Blue directed by acclaimed filmmaker and friend of the Museum, Murray Lerner. The film looks back to the period of musical transition from Miles Davis' freebop quintet to what later became known as electric Miles, culminating with uncut footage of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee's legendary performance at the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. It wasn't rock and roll, although Bitches Brew (1969) came close, but Davis' style wasn't far removed from the acid rock and funk that was filling the airwaves in the late 1960s. For some extra fun check out the records his wife Betty Davis made starting in 1973 – awesome! Davis' band at the Isle of Wight consisted of powerhouse jazz players including Gary Bartz (saxophone), Chick ...
As we were preparing last week's special Rock and Roll Night School on rock and roll holiday records, I was amazed at how many Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees had recorded a holiday record. So, being the obsessives that we are, the Education Department staff tried to figure out just how many there are. Here's our preliminary stats. Note: for the purposes of discussion, we focused on inductees from the Performer and Early Influence category; we counted a band or a duo as one inductee (e.g., The Rolling Stones =1; Bob Dylan =1, etc.); and we included our newest group of inductees (ABBA, The Stooges, The Hollies, Jimmy Cliff, and Genesis). Here's what we found:
143 out of 255 Inductees have recorded a holiday record: 72%!
Given how many crazy one-off records are out there, I'm sure that we missed a few. I've listed our working list below. Please let us know if we missed any! We'd love hear from you.
Inductees who HAVE NOT recorded holiday songs/albums
Early Influences
1. Charlie Christian
2. Willie Dixon
3. Billie Holiday
4. Howlin' Wolf
5. Elmore James
6. Robert Johnson
7. Professor ...
Man oh Man was last night's holiday edition of Rock and Roll Night School fun! And we all learned so much about a very special niche of music. In fact, we are thinking about doing this again and maybe streaming the program online. So……anybody out there, let us know if this would be something you would like to participate in…and if you can't make it in person, consider possibly participating online or via the phone.
Below you'll find a list of my favorite rock and roll holiday songs. Also, feel free to comment on all of the lists if you were here last night. Most importantly, let us know if we missed any holiday songs by Inductees.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! Come to Cleveland!

Rock Hall's Director of Education Discusses the Sound of Janis' Voice
Last night we hosted the first event of American Music Masters week: Rock and Roll Night School at the Baker-Nord Center for the Humanities at Case Western Reserve University. The evening featured multi-media presentations by Dr. Lauren Onkey, Dr. Mary Davis (Chair of the Music Department at CWRU), and myself, examining Janis Joplin's contributions to rock and roll history.
My presentation focused on what I most love about Joplin: her voice! Her vocal performances are so moving. She makes you feel something. She makes you want to jump and shout, dance and sing. People often talk about the wild abandon of her voice, as if she experienced a kind of rapture in her performances that pushed her and her audience to the edge. But after diving deep into her music over the last year I realized that her performances of rapture were just that, performances. It's not that she didn't feel them, but as a performer she worked at refining the way she created these moments for her audience. A great example of this is her performances of the classic Big Mama Thornton tune "Ball ...

Ferguson, Missouri: The media has been fast-reporting the supposed injuries suffered by Officer Darren Wilson when he fatally shot Michael Brown. Now there are reports indicating that the alleged source of these claims may be a notorious liar. Also, it's been confirmed in this Thursday afternoon report that the police officer did not suffer an orbital blowout fracture, like what the political blogger previously spread. This misinformation is now soaring through the internet, with people already choosing sides in this tense case -- citing that the officer was "completely justified," as they are so quick to believe that he was nearly beaten to death. Contrary to the false reports, Darren Wilson only suffered some swelling in his face. His X-rays came back showing that he suffered no serious injuries in the altercation that left 18-year-old Michael Brown dead in the street.
It was previously reported, thanks to the false reporting of The Gateway Pundit, that Officer Wilson was almost beaten to death -- or at the least nearly knocked unconscious -- before he shot Michael Brown to death. However, he was physically assaulted by the man, who was walking down the street after just committing strong-arm robbery at a convenience store. Darren Wilson tried to get out of his vehicle to talk to the young man, but he was rushed and slammed back into the car as Brown slammed the cruiser door. This is according to multiple witnesses, who also say that Michael Brown leaned into the car and began beating the officer. Even though Wilson didn't sustain life-threatening injuries, there is very little doubt about the many witness reports that place him as a victim who took necessary measures to save his own life as an officer of the law.
The divisive nature of this case is without a doubt as intense as the division caused by the shooting of Trayvon Martin. However, the stark difference between these two cases is that George Zimmerman is not a police officer who shot someone who possibly attempted to disarm him. Darren Wilson is a police officer, and attacking an officer with or without weapons -- especially attempting to disarm an officer -- will likely have fatal consequences regardless of race. Nonetheless, this case has brought out the worst of the worst in society: The people who use the death of a young black man as a platform for preaching racial bigotry, ignorance and political divisiveness.

The Massive is Brian Wood's new post-crash environmentalist book for Dark Horse. It tells the story of a group of environmental activists and their search for a sister ship lost at sea. This takes place after the end of the world, also turning the story into a search for meaning.
We follow the story of Callum Israel and his crew, comprising the activist cell the Ninth Wave. Israel isn't your typical environmentalist, with a shady background as a mercenary. At the same time, this background is what makes him effective in leading the Ninth Wave and organizing direct actions. He's accompanied by Mary, also his lover and an old teammate from his mercenary days named Mag. Their back stories were explored in Dark Horse Comics Presents shorts, so readers of that anthology will already have some familiarity to them. There's some supporting crew and a lot more implied, but happen to be missing. It seems that Callum and team are on the Kapital, the smaller ship of their fleet, while the search for their missing sister ship, the Massive. This mystery, along with the cryptic end of the world, are the driving forces behind the story.
The first issue is split into sequences from the present and glimpses into the past. In the crew's present time we see a tense situation as they prepare for potentially hostile contacts. The flashbacks to past events are themselves split, with the first half detailing the events that led to the downfall of the world. The second half follows the personal story of the crew and the hard decisions that they find themselves faced with. After all, when the world's ending what place does a conservationist have? For these historical moments Kristian Donaldson shifts his art style to hazy scenes with high contrast, coloured sepia by Dave Stewart. It immediately gives the impression of archival news paper clippings, helping to differentiate the shifting time frames and give historical weight to the proceedings. The book also features a lot of bonus material, including Callum Israel's captain's log and further clues to the mystery of The Massive.
While the pace may seem slow, this can be attributed to the tense waiting and vast emptiness of the oceans. The mood remains tense until action breaks out and by the end of the book you'll be surprised by how much information Wood manages to convey. Because of the political nature of the book, as well as the post-catastrophe setting, The Massive will inevitably be compared to the recently finished DMZ. While I can understand the comparison on a base level, The Massive is a very different book. Instead of the bombed-out shell of the world's most densely populated city, the oceans provide wide empty spaces and a serene loneliness. DMZ can also be described as Matty gradually finding a mission, whereas the crew of the Ninth Wave have lost theirs. Nonetheless, if you were a fan of the aforementioned book, then The Massive will be a logical continuation for your Brian Wood fix.

"God's Not Dead" does a marvelous job of delivering authenticity that anyone can identify with, a believable composite of the joy, sorrow, tragedy and triumph, real choices, and the sacrifices people of faith must decide while navigating through life.
You are treated to a cross section of story lines involving everyday people from different cultures weighing the big question concerning God's existence and the problems of merging the different value systems of society. The big issues of inclusion and tolerance are well sifted together.
The story is a plethora of real cases that have been filed against America's colleges and universities that have routinely discriminated against people of faith that were legally exercising their religious rights. The genuine restrictions leveled against religious expression and the intolerance of those that direct religious prejudice are exposed by "God's Not Dead".
Education and indoctrination are two distinct practices presented in "God's Not Dead", something that is routinely missing in many religiously themed movies. The inconsistency of allowing absolutes when it is convenient, but not when discussing the existence of God is eloquently put to discussion.
The central theme of the intellectual college professor wanting to discuss religion from a presupposition of his own making offers a brutally honest approach in the debate between atheists and people of faith. There are several side stories in progress during the movie that ultimately intersects with the core message of "God's Not Dead".http://www.reasons.org/articles/personal-comments-on-gods-not-dead
This is the refreshing strength of "God's Not Dead". It presents the ultimate issue of morality and the limits God places to the expression of human behavior even though free will and the consequences of expressing free will are put squarely before the movie goer. Without the standards in place, anything is permissible.
This magnifies the spiritual truth articulated in the Bible that "everything is permitted, but everything is not expedient or good for you". This cold hard fact is rarely put on the table during discussion.
The energetic "News Boys" make a brief appearance with their Christian hit "God's Not Dead", and run into one of the movie story lines involving a young woman facing a personal crisis in her life. The question of "what do you now have?" is effectively presented to her by the "News Boys" during a desperate time in her life she is left to deal with problem on her own.
As a reporter she has great doubts regarding another Christian entertainer from "Duck Dynasty" who recently had the consequences of expressing his faith run afoul in the entertainment industry. Simplicity does not mean lack of intelligence, and that message needed to be added to the equation. The typical stereotyping of the Christian wife being pregnant and barefoot is humorously presented.
Many frivolous derogatory prejudices regarding Christian expression and to people that believe in God are presented in "God's Not Dead". People of faith will clearly be able to identify with quite a few of them.
People that have rejected religion will also be able to see themselves and one tactic often used where discussion is not even allowed in their circles of influence. This issue comes up quite often in schools, socially, or at businesses public or private where discussion of religion is still taboo.
"God's Not Dead" does an admirable job of putting religion on the table at least for discussion, and the mild persecution that takes place against people of faith that stand on the principles of their belief system.
Persecution in America is nothing like the wide spread suffering of Christians in foreign lands.
Those believing in God are not depicted as unrealistically good or unrealistically bad as in standard Hollywood type story lines. Believers in God face the same typical issues everyone has to address. There are no magical solutions.
The Bible advises followers that trials, tribulation, and persecution would take place should they follow Christ and that very warning is well presented as a potential pitfall in "God's Not Dead".
"God's Not Dead" is a reminder that Christians are not perfect, just perfectly forgiven.

The problem:
I'm an extrovert, and he's an introvert. How can we do things together if we don't enjoy them the same way?
One thing before we tackle the problem:
The one thing you should never try to do (but you might want to do) is try to change them. Your SO's personality is there to stay- remember, that's why you fell in love with them in the first place- and to try and change such a huge part of it is just not worth the effort. They also will get the sense that you don't love them for who they are, and that can take even the strongest of relationships down.
What you can do, though, is try to alternate activities. Plan date nights, and every other time, have them choose the outing or activity that you guys do. Maybe you want to go out dancing one night, and he wants to play board games and drink a bottle of wine the next date night. You can enjoy a whole host of different activities. Having both an introverted and extroverted person in one relationship can be stressful, but it can also make for a very adventurous partnership. The extrovert would not normally have stayed at home on a Friday to have a picnic on the patio and look at the stars, but they probably will love it anyway. The introvert probably wouldn't have chosen to go to a bar to see a new music act that has been playing in town, but they might find a new favorite band because of it.
Being different shouldn't be an issue, as long as you compromise. In fact, it may even be for the better.

Leafs Renew Affiliation With Solar Bears

The Toronto Maple Leafs have made a decision that is part hockey, part business today, agreeing to a two year extension of their ECHL affiliation with the Orlando Solar Bears. This extension appears to also make the Leafs and Marlies their only affiliates, removing the Minnesota Wild organization from the mix.
The Log Off Podcast: "It was like an oasis in a sea of terrible last year"
Dimitri Filipovic
July 31 2014 10:22AM
There's a first for everything, and that sentiment rings truer today than ever before after an analytically-inclined podcast spent a strong 10-15 minutes praising a series of moves the Toronto Maple Leafs made recently.
This week's show included that, some Hot PK Subban Takes™, and an extensive look at how this offseason has affected the Eastern Conference landscape.
Can Gardiner take over?
Ryan Fancey
July 31 2014 07:32AM
With the Jake Gardiner contract now sorted out, the Leafs look to be just about done with their off-season activity. They've made a few short-term, low-risk moves that most around these parts are happy with, and handled everything else a lot better than we were expecting. It's been a relatively positive summer.
There could be a minor change or two left to open up some bottom six forward spots, but it looks like we've finally reached the point where we can do what Leafs' fans do best: pick the lineup apart five-hundred different ways until opening night.

As I write this, the entirety of hockey twitter is fascinated with the newest version of Sharknado. I still haven't watched the first one, because "So bad that it's almost good. Okay, not good, but we pay attention to it anyway" is the purpose of my existence, not the plot of a movie. Everybody seems to be having a ton of fun, though, so who am I to judge? Here are some questions and answers.

BlackBerry (NASDAQ:BBRY) is one of those stocks where investors are strongly divided on either side.
Part of that comes from the consumer side, where Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android users naturally have opinions on the gadget. There's also Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) proponents banking big on the company's enterprise footprint catapulting its Windows Phone and Surface devices forward.
Everybody has an opinion. Mine is clearly bearish — whether it was my recent posts here and here proposing buying puts, or this Jan. 8 headline, "I Still Think RIMM and BB10 are Doomed."
But I won't waste any more breath on my arguments. The bottom line is the bottom line: Now that the Z10 is out (with the Q10 to follow in coming months), actual sales numbers are going to tell the story and affect the stock price.
The fact that shares tumbled almost 8% the day the Z10 hit the shelves in the U.S. (and is trading down again early today) is an inauspicious sign. But again, hard sales numbers and profits are all that really matter, not rumors or speculation, and we should start seeing them soon.
A very bullish contingent on Wall Street remains convinced that a lukewarm consumer reception would be disappointing but not the final nail in the coffin. BlackBerry does enterprise best, and business adoption is what the company really will cash in on. The idea is that, even if BlackBerry can't topple Android or iOS and even if Windows Phone gains momentum, the device can certainly fill a niche in corporate IT that makes it profitable.
A Morgan Stanley analyst embodies this view, upgrading the stock recently because the new BlackBerry 10 OS will raise margins and move over a host of old-school users waiting for a new platform — and judging against predictions in dramatic service revenue declines and a device business valued at about zero, it's not going to take much to result in a positive surprise.
Still, there are big risks — risks that I personally think make BlackBerry a dangerous stock to hold.
Mainly, it's not making money.
BlackBerry still is expected to report a fourth-quarter loss Thursday since the Z10 wasn't even unveiled during the previous reporting period. So if things do miss the mark, there is no room for error.
Furthermore, why is BBRY stock considered the natural beneficiary of corporate IT spending, not the Windows Phone? I think BlackBerry bulls grossly underestimate the power Microsoft has here with a great enterprise footprint, powerful cash flow, some $66 billion in cash and the same back-against-the-wall desperation to get mobile right. The difference is that Microsoft can afford to miss the mark a few times and still not fall apart, while BlackBerry has no margin for error since it is unprofitable and has no other revenue streams.
And it's not like Apple is completely dead on arrival with enterprise. The fact that the Department of Defense just dropped BlackBerry gadgets for iPhones is a pretty good vote of confidence when it comes to security of iOS devices.
Some claim you can sell BlackBerry patents alone for $12 to $15, so the stock should be valued at that. However, keep in mind that what you think something is worth and what vulture investors are willing to pay to a company on the brink are two different things.
Consider Kodak (PINK:EKDKQ), which theoretically had all those great patents but wound up declaring bankruptcy anyway. Those who were interested simply waited for the fire sale bankruptcy auction instead of paying a premium.
So don't think "unlocking value" from patents is going to save BBRY stock.
For investors, it's all or nothing on the Z10 and Q10. Unless you like those kind of games and unless you are supremely confident in BlackBerry, my advice is to sit this one out.

3D View of Double Ridges on Europa
The model on the lower right has been color coded to accentuate elevations. The red tones indicate that the crests of the ridge system reach elevations of nearly 1000 feet (more than 300 meters) above the surrounding furrowed plains (blue and purple tones). The two ridges are separated by a valley about a mile (1.5 kilometers) wide.
The stereo perspective combines high resolution images obtained from two different viewing angles. Such a three dimensional model is similar to the three dimensional scenes our brains construct when both eyes view something from two angles.
North is to the right, and the sun illuminates the scene from northwest. North is to the right. The images were taken by the Solid State Imaging (SSI) system on NASA's Galileo spacecraft. The regional context (left), centered at about 16 degrees south latitude, 195 degrees west longitude, was imaged on November 6th, 1996 at a range of about 41,000 kilometers (25,500 miles). The higher resolution stereo images were taken on December 16th, 1997, at ranges of 5,800 kilometers(3,600 miles) and 2,600 kilometers (1,600 miles) leading to a best resolution of 26 meters per picture element.

TC TO JAMES GARTH MARSHALL; 11 January 1854; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18540111-TC-JGM-01; CL 29: 10-11
Chelsea, 11 jany, 1854—
Dear Marshall,
I have been hindered by very sad causes, as perhaps you understand, from examining your Pamphlet,1 or even from getting hold of it, till lately. At length, however, I have read it, which is no hard task;—and have to testify that I find it modestly, ingenuously, clearly, and in short well written; and that there is not, to my perception, any flaw in the argument, nor anything anywhere from which I can expressly dissent. If Lord John, or whoever is charged with that sublime function of bringing in a "New Reform Bill,"2 shall please to introduce your Cumulative-Vote process,3 I will at once admit to him that it is likely to be an improvement, and wish it good speed for him and you.— But, to say truth, I take less and less interest in Voting of any kind; the incurable darkness of the great body of mankind, and their born incapacity to "vote" for anything, except for what they will have to dinner and the like, growing daily more apparent to me, more hideous, abominable,—and even awful, as I look over their sad History past and present. There will never be a tolerable world again till the Servile of Mankind (whom all the nuggets in California4 cannot make other than Slaves, always the uglier the more nuggets they get) shall be entirely excluded from voting, or have their votes by some good method reduced to zero, which they are, and which it is frightful and against all Laws of God to regard them as not being;—which consummation, I perceive, is still at a very great distance, quite out of my section of time: so that neither voting nor the prayed-for euthanasia of voting is now a thing that much concerns me.
You are not now in Parlt,5 but doubtless you come occasionally to London; and I think you ought not to forget quite so much as you do that there is a place called Chelsea close by, and a human soul there who is always well affected to you, and desirous to see you. With many kind regards to the Lady,6—Yours ever truly
T. Carlyle
