While motoring through the Cotswolds in England several years ago, we came to a quaint village of narrow streets and gray stone houses, some with thatched roofs. While driving around the village, we recognized that we had seen the same landmark four times. We came to the conclusion that we were lost.
We slowed and flagged a man afoot and asked for directions to the road to Stow-on-the-Wold. He quickly assessed the situation and suggested that, "First, we've got to get you out of this parking lot!"
The next morning we drove a few miles north to Moreton on Marsh to experience a weekly outdoor market on the mall. After parking the car, we each chose a direction in which to explore.
I spotted a hardware store a short distance away that intrigued me. I was pleased to see the items for sale in bins and on shelves where one could pick them up individually, as opposed to prepackaged items, five or six together to purchase at once here in the States. After browsing about, I stopped by the cash register.
An older, mustachioed man asked, "Where are you going, Yank?"
I said, "After England, France."
He replied, with a growl in his voice, "The only reason to go to France is to fight!"
Earlier on that same trip, we four friends were having supper at an English pub. After giving our entree orders to the wait person, we decided we'd like to have a beverage before our meal. I volunteered to go to the bar and place the orders.
I was greeted by the barkeep with a cheery, "Good evening, where are you from?"
''Ohio," I said, and proceeded to place the beverage orders.
He wanted to know where we were going next and I said, "To France."
He said that many of the French people are very proud of their language and like to hear it spoken by visitors. It's best to speak French whenever possible - even if your spoken word is less than correct, they like your effort to try.
I said, "I understand the French can be hard to get along with sometimes."
''Yes," he said, "but there are understanding people and arbitrary people everywhere."
On another trip, when I was much younger, our party stayed overnight in the German city of Koblenz. It is located at the point where the Moselle River empties into the Rhine River. After most everybody had gone to bed, I, being full of excitement with this adventure, had the urge to see more of this old city.
I returned to our hotel sometime after midnight and fell into conversation with the night clerk. He wasn't a particularly agreeable man, but I led him to talk about aspects of World War II, which had concluded some 14 years prior. It turned out that he had been a member of the Panzers, the driver of a tank.
He concluded the conversation by saying, "Our generals let us down. We should have beaten you guys."
I didn't choose to argue with him further, so I bid him good night.
After our daughter Alice graduated from high school, she was chosen by the Warren Rotary Club to be an exchange student to Sweden. While she was there, my wife, my mother and I flew over to visit her. We met some of Alice's newfound friends. One girl asked me, in a pleasant way, if I wouldn't rather speak English the way the English do.
I said, "No, I'm an American and I enjoy speaking the American language."
It's differences like that that make the people of the world interesting.
I became lost in Allentown, Pa., one time. I went into a convenience store to ask for directions. The fellow behind the counter was a jovial sort who told me to take the next left, drive two miles, and I'd be at my destination.
I turned to leave, then returned to say to the man, "Wouldn't it be more direct if I turned right?"
He laughed and said, "Would I lie to you? How long have we known each other?"
A short conversation on another journey that made me laugh.

Are there any popular manga, and new made by Americans or Canadains. Cause all we see is Japan.
think need to define manga as it is a japanese word anyway. manga for me is picture with dialogue and mainly in black and white and else.. is fully-coloured pictures with dialogue
I really don't think this is the proper forum for this question. Did you really need to put this same post in every forum?
"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
Then you should look this up on google, or even look up the history of manga. Really, manga is defined as (Japanese, yes) but a series of whimsical pictures. (With words as well, haha.) Peace, love, and rock and roll
Some would say that since Manga is a Japanese term (even though it's a loanword from English - Magazine) that it could only be japanese. There are however the same kinds of things made by authors around the world. Usually you can search for Graphic Novels to find what you are looking for if they want to try to be strict about Manga being only from Japan. My favorite graphic novel is Reality Check! written by the married couple that did the backgrounds for Invader Zim and one of those two did the english voice acting on that show for the character Gir.

Winston-Salem, NC -- The City of Winston-Salem has started the process to remove Farley Associates from a fire station construction project after the contractor fell behind on work and failed to pay subcontractors.
Assistant City Manager Greg Turner told WFMY News 2 the city has exercised an option in its contract to release Farley Associates from the project with seven days notice. The city wrote a letter providing that notice on Friday evening.
Winston-Salem hired Farley Associates as the general contractor for construction of Fire Station #19. But three months ago, the city got word of payment problems.
"We were approached by several of the subcontractors working on the project that they were having trouble getting payments from the prime, Farley," Turner told WFMY News 2 in an exclusive interview Friday. He estimated that a couple of dozen subcontractors weren't getting paid.
"Obviously when a sub is not being paid, they get to the point where they say, 'We're going to have to pull off the job,'" Turner said.
The Hartford, the project's bonding and surety agency, started paying subcontractors and work has continued. Turner says the project is about 65 percent complete and that it will be up to The Hartford to now select another contractor to finish the job. There was no immediate timetable on when that could happen.
If the story sounds familiar, it is. Construction at McNair Elementary School in Guilford County fell behind when Farley failed to pay subcontractors -- and the opening of the school has been delayed. Guilford County Schools removed Farley from that project last week.
The school system's attorney, Arty Bolick, told WFMY News 2 on Tuesday that he is working to finalize a takeover agreement with The Hartford to allow a new contractor to take over the McNair project. The new contractor is likely to be JE Dunn -- one of the largest construction companies in the country. Once the takeover agreement is finalized, JE Dunn will evaluate the status of the McNair project and lay out a timeline on when it can be finished. Still, there is no timetable for when the school could be completed.
The mess won't put taxpayer dollars at risk, though. Because The Hartford was Farley's bonding agent, it will have to pick up any overrun costs on both projects. And both the City of Winston-Salem and Guilford County Schools could be able to seek liquidated damages of $2,000 per day for each day past their respective project's originally agreed-upon completion date.
Special Section: McNair Elementary School Saga
WFMY News 2 uncovered exclusive details Monday that Farley's problems extend beyond state lines. The Fort Mill (South Carolina) School District said it has three Farley projects that are likely to move in to default.

> How many mags per gun is enough?

What is the general rule of thumb when there's a 16 round capacity? I'm looking for daily (I would say one in gun and two spare) and SHTF. (No idea) All opinions are welcome.

Agree with you. I have one spare now but gonna get another one along with a two magazine holder.
March 18, 2013, 09:52 PM
My rule for the minimum for a carry gun is 2 sets of 3 and one spare; so 7 15-rd mags.
In single stacks, I prefer 2 sets of 5 and a spare; so 11
I usually just buy 10 extras for the guns I use a lot.
River Wraith
March 18, 2013, 09:57 PM
If one had two guns of the same model, ten to split between the two, would that be enough or would one need more?
March 18, 2013, 10:32 PM
Daily carry, with no family to protect, one. Should be enough to get out of there.
SHTF one. And a rifle.
March 18, 2013, 11:54 PM
All my primary carry pistols have at least 3 mags. I do have a few handguns where mags are hard to find/unreliable non factory so I carry those less. Normally don't carry more than 1 or 2 mags daily so the third is more as a backup/spare/spend less time loading at the range mag.
March 19, 2013, 12:45 AM
There are certainly good reasons for having more on hand than that, but that it what I need to carry and practice.
March 19, 2013, 12:45 AM
4 minimum is what I prefer. However as the above poster mentioned. I have some guns where it might take another 50yrs to find 4 mags for a couple of my guns.
March 19, 2013, 01:46 AM
Three per gun for range but I'd only carry one in the gun and one in reserve if I were using it for a defensive piece.
With 16 rounds to a mag there's no man on the planet that won't be able to hit their target with 32 shots that should have a concealed carry license.
March 19, 2013, 01:55 AM
Just buying the arm, I want two extra mags. Except 1911 mags, I have a few of those already. Ideally, I like having enough mags to hold a box of ammo for going to the range.
If the price is right, and I can afford it, I'll always pick up another magazine, "just because."
For carry, I don't feel right unless I have one extra on me. Given that those mags are only 7-10 rounds apiece; I often carry two. But, I've carried more.
March 19, 2013, 03:03 AM
At least six magazines.
March 19, 2013, 12:14 PM
I'll go along with that.
This is purely for convenience at the range. It's impossible to determine "how many you will need" in a SHTF situation. How many can you carry and trade for food and water is likely the more realistic scenario.
However for range and informal competition use, 6 is a minimum, 8 or 10 is better, IMO.
For daily carry? at least 2, and maybe a spare in case one gets damaged.
16 rounds in your pistol will get you out of 99.87% of "carry" scenarios. IMO
March 19, 2013, 01:13 PM
If one had two guns of the same model, ten to split between the two, would that be enough or would one need more?
Similar to the question of how many guns one should own or whether they choose to carry a reload for CCW, answers will be subjective.
I like having a lot of mags. Over time I've accumulated quite a few Glock 9mm magazines, which fit both my night stand gun and my IDPA gun. Also, I came from a cold weather climate where trips to the outdoor range in biting wind and subzero temperatures was better spent shooting than numbing the fingers while reloading. That said, here's how it's panned out:
-One in the HD gun.
-An extra in the night stand.
-10 in the range/competition bag. I get to spend less time reloading, and more time helping the match run smoothly or talking to other shooters.
-One reload in each vehicle.
-2 reloads in the go bag.
I also picked up one or two each time I found a good deal on them with the idea of never having to worry about magazines again in the event of legislation or panic buying. I probably hit about 15-20 before I felt content to the level of lifetime supply.
For range guns or BUGs, I'm fine having 3-4. For guns that see occasional competition use, I prefer having 5.
March 19, 2013, 01:52 PM
Just a couple more....that will be enough....
March 19, 2013, 05:36 PM
You can only have a good idea of how many once you see just how many "hostiles" are around.
March 19, 2013, 05:53 PM
If you need multiple 16 round mags, you should probably run. How many people do you honestly think you can stop if they are all shooting at you? This is real life and not a video game. The range is another story.
March 19, 2013, 06:30 PM
' a few' will suffice. Except when I need more.
March 19, 2013, 07:01 PM
I have two additional for my carry guns (one 12 round other is 7 round) but I also have 5 extra for both for range work. I have one other semi auto that mostly serves as a range gun and that one I also have 7 magazines for.
March 19, 2013, 08:12 PM
One to the gun and two extras minimum.
"Spares" for me start at the fourth one.
Ultimately, I gots ta have 5 before I feel comfortable against loss, damage, legal/ban action, etc...
As to reaching excess - I'd say for me that occurs just after magazine number 13.
March 19, 2013, 08:23 PM

Simple solution is to get a second, or third, or fourth gun that uses the same mags....
March 19, 2013, 08:24 PM
If I don't have three mags I don't feel like I have enough. That said, I more typically have 5-6 with one of them being the "designated dropper" for practicing mag changes.
David E
March 19, 2013, 08:40 PM
Everyday carry, at least one reload.
To possess for general purposes, 24 magazines for "serious" arms or guns that are shot often.
SHTF, as many as possible.
March 19, 2013, 09:22 PM
All kidding aside, it depends on the gun. As much as I love 1911s, I feel the need for LOTS of mags for them - like 30 mags for 2 1911s. These stinkin' ugly Glock magazines just seem to work, and work, and work, and (stop and swish it around in a mud puddle to CLEAN it) then work some more...
It seems like if I drop an empty 1911 mags, 25% of the time it suffers functional damage. It also seems like I can throw a full G21 mag down a river gorge, find it a month later, scrape the dirt off and it'll work fine.... I know that both are exaggerations, but there IS a difference in durability. Something that ugly HAS to be strong!
Every gun I own that takes magazines (including bolt rifles) has at least two mags, not matter how little I shoot it. If a mag fails, I want to still be able to use the gun.
Carry guns have a minimum of three mags, 30 rounds total.
Range guns get 5 minimum.
It gets really fun when you own multiple Glocks that can use other mags. My G26 has 3, but also accepts the 11 G17/34 mags I have on hand. My primary carry is a G30, with 5 mags, but it also accepts my 7 G21 mags. My G36 is an orphan, with 3 mags.
Even my Browning 1911 22 has 3 mags.
March 19, 2013, 09:51 PM
Five or six, gives me three that are loaded with defense ammo and carried. Then I have two or three that can be used for range ammo so that I don't have to empty the hollowpoints from the carry mags everytime I hit the rage.
I've also gotten into the habit of buying two of the pistol model that I intend to carry. Since they always come with one or two mags to begin with, it's easier to get up to the level of six or more mags when you just buy another pistol just like it.

Murphy's 1st. Rule of Magazines law.
1 = 0 - If you only have 1, it will break, get lost, or run over by a truck.
2 = 1 - If you have 2, one will work and the other one won't.
3 = 3 - If you have 3, all will work, and none will ever get lost or broken.
4+ = You are set for life for that gun.
This especially applies to older guns with expensive and hard to find mags.
If you carry a SD pistol?
Carry a spare magazine for it too.
(See Murphy's Magazine Law #1.)
A pistol without a working magazine makes a very poor impact weapon in a fist fight against a gun or knife.
March 19, 2013, 10:19 PM
What I carry, and what I want, or would like to have readily accessible are two totally different matters. Mostly due to economics. Pre, and Post Sandy Hook. I would like to have ten mags per pistol for range work and play time. But, given the fact that most of my mag. prices vary between $30 and $40+- apiece, that makes it tough. So given the fact that my carry weapons range between 12+1 to 17+1, I usually only carry one spare mag. on me. And with the thought that if it does happen, I can hopefully rely on my experience and or training to get me and mine through.
But if I have a few pennies just laying around and I do see a mag. just sitting there all lonely, I have no problem escorting it home to it's brethren. Hate to see an orphan like that.
March 19, 2013, 10:38 PM
One in the gun and 2 on the belt and 2 at home for rotation = 5.
March 19, 2013, 10:49 PM
Daily carry, two. Extras for spare wouldn't hurt. SHTF, I'd say three since by the time it's that bad you should have a rifle. Pistol then becomes back up and I'd rather carry more rifle ammo than trying to carry extra pistol mags.

Sounds reasonable.
When I was traveling and had a risk of ending up a "million" miles from civilization, I'd carry a couple spare magazine and spare rounds. I was as much concerned about four legged animals as two.
Now that I do not stray far from civilization, I carry only one magazine with the pistol. Maybe false economy.
I tend to not practice with my carry magazine and only occasionally make sure it functions.
I like to have a bunch of spares on hand for each hand gun.
March 20, 2013, 01:20 AM
I have a minimum of 6 mags per weapon.
March 20, 2013, 02:28 AM
I immediately get 3, then as finances allow, I start increasing the numbers.
March 20, 2013, 04:54 AM
I have 16 mags for my G29 6 of them are for the 29 so they 10round with+2 extension on each, and then I have 10 G20 mags again with +2 extensions and mag sleeves, for my 1911 I only have 4mags but I don't carry or shoot it very often, thee only gun I have only one mag for is a S&W swve9 got it as a gift with one mag and can't find any at a decent price.
March 20, 2013, 12:31 PM
It depends on the gun. H.G.( 6-7 ). Rifle. AR, ( 11 ), B.A. ( 5. ).
March 20, 2013, 01:12 PM
To own? One more than you have/need.
For carry, consider why you need reloads. I generally lump it into 2 categories - 1) need more ammo 2) gun don't work.
Number 1 doesn't bother me too much. By the time you look at the statistical chance of you ever needing to draw and fire you gun and factor in needing to draw and fire it so many times you run out of ammo, you may as well wear a rubber suit just in case you get hit by lightning. Also, I'm not a huge guy and frankly don't want to buy size 40 pants just so I can stuff an extra 3 double-stack mags in them.
Number 2 is what bugs me because while you should be working your reliability stuff out during practice (does each mag work, does my ammo work with my mag/gun, does the mechanism of my gun work every time, and when it doesn't can I clear it, etc), Murphy happens. I would consider carrying a second gun as a BUG/NY Reload before carrying more than 1 spare mag (or any) unless you have some other driving reason - especially so if you're carrying something that's 16+1. Mag changes don't fix everything. There are plenty of options out there in the <1lb loaded range. Personally even an extra five rounds of 22 mag from a mini revolver in your watch pocket for something like 7 ounces seems like a no brainer. Now you've added the unlikely chance of running out of ammo to the even more unlikely chance of both/all of your guns not working.
SHTF is not generally a topic around here, but consider what you can reasonably carry on your person, along with all the other crap you may want to carry, including your longarm if applicable. If you can't carry it, it doesn't do you any good (handguns used because they are portable). It's probably around the same as your regular carry loadout (but you probably carry it differently). You don't see the guys deployed overseas running around in full battle-rattle with 20 pistol mags strapped on top of everything else.
March 20, 2013, 05:58 PM
Daily carry...one in the gun and (if possible) two more in a magazine carrier.
SHTF...have you seen "Last Man Standing" where Bruce Willis is loading for his 1911s?
On another note, in Iraq I always carried two spare magazines for the handgun on my vest/belt/leg. But I also had 14 magazines for my long gun.
March 20, 2013, 06:11 PM
for my uses, 3 is enough, but 6 would be more convenient . i have 3 mags for my competition gun and have never needed more than that. i HAVE had to use all 3 in the same stage, but it was still enough. i would rather have 6 just so that i can have the loaded mag in the gun and the other two loaded as spares. then i would just use the three non-carry mags for range time. for daily carry, i rarely carry a reload at all. sometimes i will carry a single spare mag if i am heading to the big city. sometimes i carry two spares just because i can :).
March 20, 2013, 07:56 PM
I agree with most of the above. Figure out what is the minimum you need and then double it! Sure three or four will last a lifetime if they stay locked in your safe or nightstand but with real-world use they will develop problems over time.
If you train like you will fight, and not just shoot at a static range, problems will develop. Feed lips get bent, bodies get dented and any number of other problems can cut your total count down. They get dropped in the mud - stepped on and many other potential mishaps.
Make sure to buy only top quality mags as well! Saving a few $ on mags is a big mistake.
Go Mec-Gar!

It's not hard to carry one or two spare mags.
The rest of them are for SHTF, per the OP (or in case laws pass that prevent you from ever buying another 11+ capacity magazine)
Me, I'm surprised that so many folks think 2-4 is more than enough for a serious/primary gun.
March 20, 2013, 10:43 PM
How many do YOU want?
That's enough for YOU.
March 21, 2013, 12:21 AM
What is the general rule of thumb when there's a 16 round capacity? I'm looking for daily (I would say one in gun and two spare) and SHTF. (No idea) All opinions are welcome.
I don't think there is a rule of thumb. Whatever makes you comfortable, I s'pose.
For me, during CCW one spare mag as I go about town is enough although if the spare is forgotten I don't sweat it.
On the road and far from home, it is two guns (usu. a Glock 17 and a HK USP45) with three mags each and 100 rounds of each caliber.

March 21, 2013, 12:31 AM
All my mags are Mec Gar. They are the best. I have 5 per gun, I may get two more. Thanks for all the input, guys. It's nice to be able to bounce ideas around and get information and opinions. I appreciate it.
March 21, 2013, 02:14 AM
For daily carry... It depends. In my Glock 19 I'd feel fine carrying only one spare. In a 1911 I'd want more.
For SHTF, carry as many as your system can take. You need to think about size and weight constraints. How much weight are you willing to haul?
March 23, 2013, 06:01 PM
Regarding carrying a LOT of magazines, a la "Last Man Standing", did you ever wonder where he might be carrying them all? I did a little experimentation, and thought it might be interesting to see just how many 1911 mags I could comfortably carry, but still be readily accessible for fast draw and sustained shooting. I found that a person could obtain a few Galco double mag carriers for the Glock 21, stretch them a bit, and work FOUR mags into the double pouch. It facilitated drawing two mags at a time; perfect for charging two 1911's at a time. I had two of these Galco pouches, and two other regular double pouches, for 12 on the belt, and with two in the gun, at seven rounds apiece, was a minimum of 91 rounds. Enough to ALMOST duplicate a Hollywood volley. Unfortunately, with the recent reduction in the availability of ammo or components, I am having to refrain from wasting ammo that quickly. :D .......................http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/matquig/DSC06274.jpg

Pretty cool.
However, you may want to check Andrews Custom for their Monarch Rig options for the "Stroud Ten Pack".
March 23, 2013, 08:25 PM
I make sure I have at least 5 for any gun I own.
If it's one that gets used a lot at the range, for carry, or for competition, or if I suspect that magazine availablity may be an issue down the road, then I double that figure.
Those are minimums.

I've seen those monstrosities, but never being used by someone that's any good.
There are better ways.
March 23, 2013, 11:47 PM
I haven't either...I was a bit stunned by the price they were asking, so it must be selling to someone.
I'm still in economy mode and using the Blackhawk two-piece single mag carriers...the homemade one-piece ones I had previously wouldn't stay on my belt when running a COF
March 24, 2013, 12:57 AM
I have a couple magazine cases for my belt. The only magazine that wont fit in any of them is my 32 round magazine for my Ruger P-95. The 10/15/17 round magazines work very well. I found all my magazine cases on ebay for $10 or less.

If they're what I'm thinking of, those mag pouches are unsuitable for competition or concealed carry. Hiking, hunting or camping or casual range use, ok.
March 24, 2013, 02:04 AM
2 or 3, used to pick up one here or there used at a good price. Probably have 10 mags for the glocks and 5 for the Mark II. Multiple mags make range time more enjoyable.
March 24, 2013, 02:39 AM
What is the general rule of thumb when there's a 16 round capacity? I'm looking for daily (I would say one in gun and two spare) and SHTF. (No idea) All opinions are welcome.
I don't know if there is a general rule of thumb or not. Daily, I tend to carry one spare mag in mag pouch on my belt (currently I use RCS one's for most of my guns). Occasionally I will use a double mag pouch. My spare mags hold 17 rounds. I like to have the mag as much for simply having another magazine available as for having more rounds.
For SHTF I figure I might well have my chest rig and/or plate carrier. This would be in addition to belt carried mags which is either 3 mags my single and double pouch or a sonny rig which carries two pistol and two rifle mags on the belt. In a pinch, I might use some combination of the sonny rig and other pistol mags. The chest rig I'm using holds four pistol mags if I only put mags in the other pouches (other things I might put there include multi tool, flashlight (although these days I'm carrying one else where), etc. My plate carrier similarly is set up to hold 4-5 pistol mags. I'm sure if I really tried I could put more on but for now I'm content with the current pistol mag load in relation to the other things on it.
So in short I'd likely have at least 4-6, and maybe more, pistol mags in addition to the one in the gun. That is 119 rounds. My chest rig (or plate carry) and belt set up allow for 7-10 rifle mags as well.
As to how many I like to own for each gun. I like to have at least 1 set of proven mags for a full load out, and one set of training mags for a full load out and a few extras. This often means 10-15. For other guns that serve other roles I still like to have a bunch (I still like having at least ten) but feel more comfortable having fewer one.
March 24, 2013, 06:28 AM
One or two really. In most situations where 32 pistol rounds isn't enough, you really should have a rifle, or be on your way to find one.

HARRISBURG -- Retired Maj. Gen. Nick Kafkalas, a decorated war veteran and former Pennsylvania adjutant general, is dead at 93.

Corbett said he served under Kafkalas in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. He said Kafkalas is a model for all Pennsylvanians to follow.

Non-State Actors from the Perspective of the Policy-Oriented School: Power, Law, Actors and the View From New Haven

PARTICIPANTS IN THE INTERNATIONAL LEGAL SYSTEM: MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES ON NON-STATE ACTORSIN INTERNATIONAL LAW, Jean d'Aspremont, ed., 2011
Northwestern Public Law Research Paper No. 10-23
Law needs Power for enforcement of its rules; Power utilizes Law for creating conditions of stability that enhance its salience. Yet when the New Haven school tries to include international law in its power-oriented view of international relations, it ends up with a misleading two-dimensional descriptivism.

The final horn had barely sounded when the accolades started coming in for members of the Stetson football team on Sunday night.
Dawg linebacker Donald Payne and kicker/punter James LaGamma were recognized for their performances against Warner in the Hatters' 31-3 season-opening victory by earning Pioneer Football League Player of the Week honors.
Payne was named Defensive Player of the Week while LaGamma shared the special teams award with Mercer senior kicker John Shutter.
Payne followed up by being named national Freshman of the Week on Monday by The Sports Network, which is the source for all things FCS.
Payne was an all-around force as Stetson returned to football with a weather- delayed, 31-3 victory against Warner. He recovered a fumble for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage after Saturday's game was resumed in the second quarter on Sunday. The nephew of former 15-year NFL defensive end Ezra Johnson, Payne finished the game with eight tackles, including five solos, and three tackles for loss, including a sack.
He was recognized along with Eastern Washington quarterback Vernon Adams, Charleston Southern linebacker Calvin Bryant, Eastern Illinois rover Alex McNulty and Samford running back/return specialist Fabian Truss.
With the weather delay, the Hatters will have a short week to get ready for the second game of the season, which is scheduled for a 7 p.m. start this Saturday against Florida Tech at Palm Bay High School's Pirate Stadium. The game has already been announced as a sellout with a stadium capacity of 4,980.
Video of the game will be available, free of charge, through the Florida Tech Athletics web site, www.floridatechsports.com/live .

For those people who, like me, are not intensely loyal fans of Bon Jovi (and judging by its tour receipts, there aren't too many of us), the band's continued success, 25 years past its heyday, can seem like a bit of a mystery.
But on Sunday night in First Niagara Center, as the group led a seemingly full house through a triumphant, hours-long set of hair-metal classics, monster ballads, fist-pumping anthems, and a lot of new material that sounded like all of those things, the reason for its evergreen dominance became clear. This band was built to last from the beginning, to be a perpetual pop machine that churns out one huge chorus after the next, each one possessing a concept vague enough to appeal to the maximum number of consumers – um, I mean listeners – without just simply saying, "We love love!"
Don't believe me? The answer is right in front of you, just like in "The Usual Suspects." In the '80s, when these guys were on top of the world, they told us, "We're halfway there." In the '90s, when grunge had temporarily dethroned them, they urged, "Keep the faith." In the '00s, when they stormed back onto the charts, they boasted, "It's now or never." And this year, with their legacy intact, their lead singer invited to appear with Bruce Springsteen at major fundraising events, they will release an album smugly titled "What About Now."
It's like these songs were all written in 1984 by Diane Warren and a crack marketing team, just waiting for the right, unthreateningly sexy avatar to give them to. And in 2013, Jon Bon Jovi remains the perfect conduit for this material. Whether it was the shout-along rock of the opening "You Give Love a Bad Name," the modern country of the new single "Because We Can" or the high-fructose corn syrup that is "I'll Be There for You," the singer was charming, emotive, and audience-inclusive. Still the dreamboat, yet now possessing a whiff of John Mellencamp gravitas, the man made all of his between-song banter feel more genuine than it had a right to be, from chatter about his new album to obviously generic points about Buffalo. (There's "a lot of dreams and history" here, apparently. Thanks Jon.)
As the show carried on, and the crowd reacted to the old hits and the new stuff with the same level of verve, you had to be impressed by the band's remarkable consistency.
"It's My Life," its massive comeback hit from a decade ago, slayed Sunday night's audience, despite it lifting the formula for "Livin' On A Prayer" wholesale. Every one of the new songs were similar re-hashings of Bon Jovi classics, each one just another example of how ingenious these guys are at writing choruses that make you feel like there's a big game tomorrow, that you're the underdog, and that you're going to win.
Why did Bon Jovi go over so well Sunday night? Why do they inspire so many people to pay $150 a pop to see them (in my section, at least)?
Why are they playing sold-out hockey sheds with no opening act, instead of touring county fairs with Ratt and L.A. Guns?
As always, the band has already given us the answer. Because they can.

The day every boxing fan has been waiting for is here, and it features the most anticipated heavyweight bout in the last eight years!
IBF, IBO and WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO) returns to the ring to take on his most dangerous challenger in years in WBA world heavyweight champion David Haye (25-1, 23 KO).
The time for talk is over, now it's time to fight. Haye has been getting under the skin of Klitschko for more than two years, wearing a shirt with the Klitschko brothers' heads ripped off, refusing to shake his hand and showing disrespect towards the accomplishments he has had over his extensive career.
The fight, which will go down at the Hamburg Imtech Arena in Hamburg, Germany, will air live on HBO at 4:45 p.m. ET. The replay will be broadcast on HBO at 9:45 p.m ET.
All of the round-by-round results and post-fight analysis will be posted here as well as on the Bleacher Report's boxing page, here.

836: Sickness
Title text: At least, with p<0.05 confidence.
[edit] Explanation
This comic was published 2 months after Randall's then fiancée, now wife, was diagnosed with breast cancer (see Category:Cancer), which is likely what inspired this comic - even though Cueball sounds like he is the one afflicted by the sickness. The comic is thus about the existential questions that might arise from such a crisis. The moral could be interpreted as that you shouldn't begrudge your fellow human being, regardless of where they find comfort.
Also, any sentence is instantly funny if, at the end of it, you address your audience as "bitches".[citation needed] It may also be a reference to 54: Science.
"Slings and arrows of fortune" is an allusion to the "To be, or not to be" soliloquy in William Shakespeare's Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. Hamlet asks himself whether it is "Nobler in the mind to suffer / The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune" (to resign oneself to one's fate and endure what may come), or to "take Arms against a Sea of troubles, / and by opposing end them" (to commit suicide and end suffering); he ultimately concludes that we would rather face the dangers and pains we know on Earth than whatever unknown new ones may come in the afterlife. Cueball appears to agree with Hamlet, thanking "the people who refused to gracefully accept the ineffability of reality": Religion and spirituality can give him the moral courage to face his death, but he'd much prefer to not die in the first place, and won't have to, thanks to medical and scientific innovation.
The title text is a pun based on Cueball's newfound confidence, asserting that his statement "because they work, bitches" has a 95% confidence interval.
[edit] Transcript
- [The three panels are arranged diagonally, upper left to bottom right.]
- [Two people are walking past a tree. One is White Hat.]
- White Hat: So, has this sickness opened you up to looking for answers beyond science?
- Cueball: ...no, not really.
- [Cueball turns to face White Hat.]
- Cueball: We've groped for comfort before the slings and arrows of fortune for millennia, and I begrudge nobody their sources of solace.
- Cueball: But Science provides tools.
- Cueball: $100 billion a year in scientific studies and medical R&D has bought us some pretty damn powerful slings and arrows of our own.
- Cueball: This world is amazing, and I'm going to live to experience more of it thanks to people who refused to gracefully accept the ineffability of reality.
- Cueball: I find my courage where I can, but I take my weapons from science.
- Cueball: Because they work, bitches.
add a comment! ⋅ add a topic (use sparingly)! ⋅ refresh comments!
Someone evidently didn't understand Hamlet too well. In "To be or not to be" he's contemplating suicide. "Take arms against..." means 'kill yourself so you won't have to put up with life's crappy bits. I would rewrite the Hamlet reference myself, but I'm too lazy. Could someone with a good understanding of the play do it? Please?184.108.40.206 01:42, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
- Agreed. Change made. Orazor (talk) 08:03, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
- "Take arms against a sea of troubles..." does not mean to commit suicide. It means to fight against the struggle referred to the in the previous line "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune". The contemplation of suicide is expressed in the phrase "When he himself might his quietus make / With a bare bodkin" when one could end one's life with a dagger. 220.127.116.11 08:35, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, "to take arms against a sea of troubles" in this context does in fact does mean to commit suicide. The struggle refered to in the previous line is whether to put up with the unbearable situation he (Hamlet) has been placed in, or, in the next line(s), to exit the situation via suicide. Elsewise, why would he suddenly transition from "overcoming obstacles" to considering death? Doesn't make sense. For your reference, check out http://www.nosweatshakespeare.com/quotes/hamlet-to-be-or-not-to-be/.Orazor (talk) 10:53, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
- Why commit suicide. His mother tries to get him to accept the inevitable that his father's killer is now in power and get on with life instead of pretending to be daft.
- A bare bodkin is an arrow tipped with steel, a war arrow. As opposed to a neutered one for harmless purposes.
- I used Google News BEFORE it was clickbait (talk) 20:34, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Yea I'm not sure who they would remove from the current top 10. We already have Washington, Martinsburg and Hedgesville in the top 10 and unfortunately Musselman is not able to defeat any of them.

Serves 5 |
Prep Time 30 minutes |
Cook Time 35 minutes
8 ounces Eden Soba or Udon, 1 package
4 cups water, for the broth
1/4 cup Eden Sliced Shiitake Mushrooms
1 piece Eden Kombu, 2 to 3 inches long
1 1/2 Tbsp Eden Shoyu Soy Sauce, or to taste
Tempura Batter
1 cup organic unbleached white flour
1/2 cup organic corn flouror organic brown rice flour
2 Tbsp Eden Kuzu Root Starch
1 pinch Eden Sea Salt
1 cup cold water
Vegetables & Other Items
5 broccoli, florets
5 whole green beans, stems removed
5 cauliflower, florets
5 whole button mushrooms, stems removed
Eden Safflower Oil, for deep-frying the tempura
2 tsp fresh ginger root, finely grated
1/4 cup scallions, finely chopped
Cook noodles as package directs, rinse, drain and set aside. To prepare the broth, place the shiitake, water and kombu in a saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the flame and simmer 5 minutes. Remove the kombu, and discard or use in another dish. Reduce the flame to low, add the shoyu and simmer another 5 minutes. Turn flame off and reheat just before the tempura is ready.
To prepare the tempura batter combine the flours, sea salt, kuzu and water in a bowl, mixing until the kuzu dissolves. Place the batter in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes. This will result in a crispier tempura.
Heat the oil. When the oil is hot, dip several pieces of vegetable into the batter completely coating them. Place in the hot oil and deep fry until golden and crispy on each side. Remove and drain on a rack or paper towels. To keep the tempura warm while the rest of the vegetables are being cooked, place them on a tray in a 200° oven. Make sure not to deep fry too many pieces at one time, as it will lower the temperature of the oil, and result in soggy tempura. Continue until all vegetables are deep fried.
Place the noodles in individual serving bowls. Top with several pieces of tempura and ladle the broth over. Garnish with ginger and scallions before serving.

LOCKPORT – A North Tonawanda man who pleaded guilty in 2011 to felony possession of heroin was allowed to reduce his plea to a misdemeanor Friday after he succeeded in the judicial diversion program of court-supervised drug treatment.
Kenneth R. Heath, 35, of Falconer Street, pleaded guilty to seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and was scheduled for sentencing April 12. He will receive no worse than three years' probation, with the time in the program counting toward the sentence.
Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas said a report she received called Heath "the epitome of someone for whom the judicial diversion program was created."
Heath was arrested in a car outside his home Sept. 9, 2011, where police found 19 bags of heroin. He pleaded guilty to third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and faced up to 12 years in prison if he had failed in the treatment program.

Domestic violence felt throughout our area
September 23, 2013
SALEM — Local advocates for victims of domestic violence are encouraging people to review their safety plans and educate themselves on how to survive....
I'm not so sure I can agree with J.T. about completely about the senseless death at Walmart that nothing could have prevented this. If that young had seriously wanted no part of this guy and this relationship to be over.
Why did she get out of that car? When he pulled in after they pulled in why didn't they just pull out and go. If he would have followed them, all she had to was grab her cell phone, dial 911 and tell that dispatcher what was going on. Throw on those emergency flashers tell that dispatcher I am State street and I heading to the police department and I need help. I don't think there is a police officer in Salem that wouldn't have broke record speeds to intercept them. She might be alive today if she would have been serious about ending that relationship. But instead she made a terrible choice and got out of that vehicle and got into an argument with him and he snapped and the rest was history. So sad...WOMEN learn from this.

As a woman, I couldn't agree with you more Ethomas38. Women are notorious for verbal and mental abuse. Women violate that protection order more than the person they get one on. Many women use that protection order as their tool to manipulate the relationship. I just can't bring myself to feel sorry for a woman that becomes a victim of domestic violence...a second time.

As usual your article states only PART of the facts! Fact is that 30% of domestic violence is committed by the female half and out of that 30% ONLY .001% is EVER reported to authorities because our system has trained everyone that the male is always 100% the aggressor and he will be arrested even if he has a gun shot or stab wound. Simply because the females know that the courts won't believe that she could or would assault the man.. Way to go Salem we only report what we want to News..

WELLSBORO - Ninety-year-old Leon Curtis remains in guarded condition Thursday at Strong Memorial Hospital, in Rochester, N.Y., after he suffered "serious" burns to his legs in a fire at his 1004 Reese Hill Road home Tuesday afternoon.
Borough Fire Chief Lonnie Campbell said he and the state police fire marshal spent about 2 1/2 hours at the Charleston Township scene Wednesday.
"We were able to determine the fire did start at the rear of the home, outside on the deck area," Campbell said, though a cause has not yet been determined.
"We have not yet been able to pinpoint a cause, and the fire is still under investigation, but it is not considered suspicious," Campbell said.
According to Campbell, Curtis was carried from the burning home by a neighbor, James Browning, who entered the home when other neighbors said they heard someone inside calling for help.
Browning, a former Marine, according to Campbell, is the son of Tioga County Prison Warden Terry Browning.
Campbell said he had been unsuccessful in trying to reach Browning, who left immediately after he rescued Curtis. When Campbell arrived on the scene, Curtis was being treated by ambulance personnel and a medical helicopter had been dispatched.
Curtis' family, his daughter, Vicki, and son-in-law, Michael, were not at home at the time and have been at their loved one's side since the fire, so Campbell said he was able to get only limited information from them.
"During the course of investigation, we are trying to be sensitive to the fact that their priority is him. They have given us pretty good information, but we are trying to pinpoint a cause," Campbell said. "We have some questions as far as any issues they may have had with outdoor power sources or receptacles."
Neighbors who were waiting for children to get home from school at a bus stop nearby were helpful, Campbell said, supplying information about where they saw flames and basically giving dispatchers an account of the progression of the fire.
Campbell said when he arrived, the older farmhouse was showing "heavy fire, primarily at the rear of the structure, and it had burned up to the roof peak and gotten into the attic."
"There was heavy heat and water damage throughout and the home is uninhabitable, so the family is staying with relatives in the area," Campbell said.
Because of the age of the structure, Campbell said firefighters ran into a few "stumbling blocks with multiple layers of wall coverings and ceilings that had been put in," but they were able to get the fire under control in about 40 minutes, he said.
About 25 to 30 firefighters from the borough, Middlebury and Mansfield responded with tankers and stayed on scene until about 6 p.m., Campbell said. Water also was available from a nearby pond.
Campbell said outside points of origin are fairly common in non-suspicious fires.
"We run into an outside origin very often, even a grill too close to siding will ignite the siding of a home," he said.
This time of year when wood burning becomes more common, "people will put hot embers in an inappropriate container or put them outside too close to the house," he added.
Campbell said the Bernards do have a fireplace in the living area of the home and had used it on a couple of recent cold mornings.
"But they said that there shouldn't be any ashes or material on the porch, and we found no indication of any kind of container or burnt log that may have been set out there," Campbell said.
The family also indicated that Curtis was "perfectly mobile and self-sufficient when they were gone for the day at work."
"I expect we will probably not ever know exactly what happened," he said.

IF anything, the Trumbull County All-American Conference teams should be quite proud.
This year, the conference has 41 athletes - including four teams - competing in Saturday's regional cross country meet at Boardman High School in both Divisions I and II.
Let's start off with Division II.
Champion has two boys competing in Allen Sparks and Nick Mackey, while Amanda Richards and Caleb Johnson of LaBrae are there as well.
Jefferson and Girard have teams and an individual going. Jefferson's boys and Girard's girls both advanced their respective squads.
Struthers and Liberty also pushed through individuals.
Then there are the Poland girls, which are No. 2 in the Division II Ohio Association of Track and Cross Country Coaches poll. The Bulldogs ran roughshod over everyone this season. Saturday will be no different. Poland's closest competition is Dover, ranked 10th in the D-II girls poll.
Then, there's the Lakeview boys. Yes, these Bulldogs, like the Poland girls, have a very good chance at advancing to the state meet on Nov. 3 at National Trail Raceway in Hebron.
Marlington should win the Division II boys meet, but if Lakeview runs like it did en route to winning districts, it should be one of the top four teams advancing.
Then, in Division I, there is Austintown Fitch's Carissa Jenkins, who has battled injuries this season, Howland's Taylor Craigo and Canfield's Emma Lunne, who won the Malone College District title last Saturday. All three, if they run the races they are capable of, could advance.
As for the Division I boys, Howland's Ryan Sullivan and Austintown Fitch's Bryce Baker and Patrick Ferguson are running.
Sullivan, who had the unfortunate task of being in the last race of the day in 2011, didn't advance to state.
As a senior, who is running in the third races of the day and been dominating most of the season, look for this Howland runner to go to state.
If they run well Saturday, Baker and Ferguson could slip into the top 16.
All in all, a great year for the AAC runners.
BOARDMAN'S boys team has done nothing but win this season.
Arguably, the Spartans have one of the best starting three in the state with Mark Hadley, Alan Burns and Nathan Hadley.
Boardman, Mentor and Walsh Jesuit will vie for the regional title, while Hudson and Chardon should be in the mix for the fourth and final qualifying spot.
Boardman's girls also advance to regionals with Jordan Grantonic leading the way. This Spartans team will find it tough to advance with teams like Hudson, Massillon Jackson, Mentor and Solon there.
DIVISION III girls have a tough meet ahead with Gilmour Academy, Berkshire, McDonald, South Range, St. Thomas Aquinas and Smithville as the teams to beat.
Locally, there were a couple of girls advancing with Maplewood's Erin Pavick and Alanna Shamrock, Bristol's Becca Merlino, Mineral Ridge's Tatum Flesch and Grand Valley's Jessica Finley.
However, the Badger girls are also in Boardman. The Braves last made it as a team in 2002 when Badger took 13th. That year, McDonald had one of its highest finishes in school history - third.
Speaking of Division III, Mineral Ridge's Logan Smith and Badger's Owen Reeher did yeoman's work to make it into the top 12 to advance out of last week's district. That should serve them well this week in Boardman.

Ben & Jerry's plans '30 Rock'-themed ice cream
Flavor will be revealed day of series finale
Ben & Jerry's is planning to release a new ice cream flavor for people who can't get enough "30 Rock."
The NBC comedy is ending Thursday after seven seasons. In honor of the show, Ben & Jerry's plans to unveil a "30 Rock"- themed flavor in New York that day, according to TODAY.com.
The company isn't saying what flavor or flavor combination it has planned for the ice cream. The ice cream will be revealed at a series finale party at a bar near Rockefeller Center, where the show mainly takes place. Proceeds from ticket sales to the party will benefit a nonprofit organization.
Ben & Jerry's has previously released ice cream flavors honoring Stephen Colbert, Monty Python and Jimmy Fallon.

No Obama hasn't committed genocide but he's killing our freedoms. For some reason he has put himself above the law and ignores our Constitution. Just to name a few things, The NSA spying on everyone, using drones to kill innocent civilians, Benghazi, and the continuing saga of Obamacare! Obama lied thru his teeth(Beaton claimed she lost her ins. because she forgot to declare a case of acne but it was a heart condition she forgot. Owens who lost her ins. working at fast food but was found out she never applied to available programs. An OH cancer patient who claimed she was losing her home due to ins. increases when in reality she was being treated at the Clev. Clinic and there was no such lien on her home) to get people to vote for him and it worked! And the best one of all "If you like your ins., you can keep your ins."
Obama was and is a liar who may not be killing people himself but he sure has been responsible for a lot of deaths.

Chain Of Responsibility Pattern
Avoid coupling the sender of a request to its receiver by giving more than one object a chance to handle the request. Chain the receiving objects and pass the request along the chain until an object handles it. There is a potentially variable number of "handler" objects and a stream of requests that must be handled. Need to efficiently process the requests without hard-wiring handler relationships and precedence, or request-to-handler mappings.
The pattern chains the receiving objects together, and then passes any request messages from object to object until it reaches an object capable of handling the message. The number and type of handler objects isn't known a priori, they can be configured dynamically. The chaining mechanism uses recursive composition to allow an unlimited number of handlers to be linked.
Chain of Responsibility simplifies object interconnections. Instead of senders and receivers maintaining references to all candidate receivers, each sender keeps a single reference to the head of the chain, and each receiver keeps a single reference to its immediate successor in the chain.
Make sure there exists a "safety net" to "catch" any requests which go unhandled.
Do not use Chain of Responsibility when each request is only handled by one handler, or, when the client object knows which service object should handle the request.
The Chain of Responsibility pattern avoids coupling the sender of a request to the receiver by giving more than one object a chance to handle the request. Mechanical coin sorting banks use the Chain of Responsibility. Rather than having a separate slot for each coin denomination coupled with a receptacle for the denomination, a single slot is used. When the coin is dropped, the coin is routed to the appropriate receptacle by the mechanical mechanisms within the bank. [Michael Duell, "Non-software examples of software design patterns", Object Magazine, July 1997, p54]
Rules of thumb:
Chain of Responsibility,
, and
, address how you can decouple senders and receivers, but with different trade-offs. Chain of Responsibility passes a sender request along a chain of potential receivers.
Chain of Responsibility can use
to represent requests as objects. [GOF, p349]
Chain of Responsibility is often applied in conjunction with
. There, a component's parent can act as its successor. [GOF, p232]

"Plan 9 has union directories: directories made of several directories all bound to the same name. The directories making up a union directory are ordered in a list. When the bindings are made (see bind(1)), flags specify whether a newly bound member goes at the head or the tail of the list or completely replaces the list. To look up a name in a union directory, each member directory is searched in list order until the name is found. A bind flag specifies whether file creation is allowed in a member directory: a file created in the union directory goes in the first member directory in list order that allows creation, if any. "
framework used (uses?) this pattern to dispatch events from the actual target (button) up to its super-'commanders' (window, application).
uses "sink chains" to implement its remoting channels. On the client side, a method-call message gets passed to a
formatter sink
, which serializes it to the network format then passes it along to a
transport sink
that takes care of sending it out to the network. On the server side, an incoming network message is read by the
transport sink
, which passes it to a
formatter sink
for deserialization, which passes it to a
dispatcher sink
which makes the actual method call and then returns the results back though the server chain, the network, and then the client chain. Additional sinks can be inserted between the standard chain elements to provide additional processing (logging, encryption, translation, forwarding, replication, load-balancing, etc.) without requiring any changes to the existing sink or channel implementations.
Axis (
) Handlers and Chains
"input.device" represented the central clearing house for all input events, including game, mouse, and keyboard-related events. The system's GUI, intuition.library, merely sits on the input.device's handler list as any other program would (albeit at a priority of 50). Screen blankers often detected system-wide events, and UI recorder programs would use input.device to record events as they came through. Accessibility programs would use input.device to synthesize some UI events in response to others.
Note that each node along the chain of responsibility must be able to either directly handle or forward the request. If the "request" is coded directly as, for instance, a C++ method call, then every node along the chain must define that method call, with non-handling nodes merely re-invoking the method on the parent. To avoid having each node define methods for all possible requests, in a static language like C++, requires that a Command pattern be used, where an actual object encapsulates the "request". Note however that using a command object to pass around requests on the chain of responsibility is less efficient than using the language's built in command mechanism (i.e. direct method invocation), because command parameters (i.e. method arguments) must then be manually encoded by the sender, passed along the chain, and decoded at the receiver.
This is a difficult tradeoff between syntactic conciseness and execution speed (using the language's built in method invocation) on the one hand, and class bloat on the other hand (requiring each class along the chain to support all message types).
If requests don't need to follow arbitrarily long chains of responsibility, a better pattern to use might be Mediator, so that only the mediator node needs to know about all possible requests coming from its child nodes, and these requests could be coded as native language methods, affording clarity and speed. No other nodes in the entire system need to be "polluted" with these only locally-relevant methods. In other words, the Mediator abstracts communication by being the central hub, so only it needs know about all messages. The
abstracts communication by passing a message along a chain; but in a static language like C++ the "passing" of an anonymous "message" requires use of a less efficient Command pattern, or support in all nodes for all message types (in which case the messages are no longer "anonymous")..
From my point of view, this pattern also seems to say why
. Run-time errors, or exceptions, are realised in a module, and that module should raise the error to its caller. But in turn, the caller should then raise the same exception to its caller, giving each parent the chance to handle the exception, before terminating the application. One of the reasons why writing decent error handling routines in languages like
is so difficult. --
Hardware control is pretty much designed this way. Unless there is a completely predictive way to handle a particular hardware error you gotta inform the caller that the widget under control has failed in some way. The decision on what to do about the failure is put off to the very highest level you can get away with. In process automation it typically ends up firing an alarm for an operator to deal with.
Ahem. Isn't class inheritance in ObjectOrientedLanguages
such as
a more common application of this pattern? When a method is called on an object, the method dispatch system first tries to find the method on the object being called, then on it's parent, etc. on up the tree.
Not totally. Inheritance functions more like a message broker. The runtime locates a function to call and calls it. Chain of Responsibility functions more like a message bus. Each receiving object is given a chance to handle the message or pass it along. Inheritance can be made to function in this way by using "base" or "super" calls, but it is not as natural a fit as separate handler classes and it constrains the inheritance tree. -- DavidSidlinger
How can we deal with explosion of classes when using
? -- Bala Paranj
This is not a problem. The decision of being responsible for the handling of a request is made per object, not per class. So you could have an arbitrary number of objects in the chain, all of the same class, while handling different requests. If different classes are necessary, they would be necessary anyways,
or not. -- Timo Reitz
Is it not that "non-resumptive exception handling" in modern object oriented languages, like C++ and Java, follow
pattern? When an exception is thrown, the exception handlers are looked-up for a match. The exception object is passed till a matching handler is found. So, can it be assumed that exception handling follows
? - S G Ganesh
The sender is decoupled from the receiver, certainly, but there is no explicit instance of the pattern. Who needs a pattern when you have a feature? (
To paraphrase Malcolm Reynolds - "Do you know what the chain of responsibilty is here? It's the chain I go get and beat you with to show you who's responsible."
I have always wondered why GOF says that the successor would be the parent node when combining CoR with Composite. It has always been more natural to me to think of the children nodes as the successor, or is this because I am locked into a "Decision Tree" paradigm? - Francis Anderson
I see this pattern as a design-oriented if-then-else statement. When I am tempted to write a long string of if and else clauses with anything but trivial conditions or one-line bodies, I first look to this pattern to see if it will help clean up the code. -

The cost of the F-35 JSF continues to soar and delays continue to
mount though the aircraft is now finally in production in some variants. As the
aircraft stat to roll of the production assembly line, the Senate is taking
steps to control the price of the fighter as the next low-rate initial
procurement (LRIP) is set to enter negotiations.
The U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee has passed a bill on June 16
that required the LRIP-5 purchase set for 2012 to be at a fixed price. That means that any cost overruns
in the development or production of the F-35 purchase will be absorbed totally
by suppliers.
An emailed statement from the committee said, "The bill contains
a unique requirement that the low-rate initial procurement contract for the
FY11 lot of the Joint Strike Fighter (LRIP-5) program must be a fixed-price
contract and the contract must require the contractor to absorb 100 percent of
costs above the target cost."
The previous LRIP-4
purchase uses a cost-plus award fee plan.
If the full Senate passes the bill, it will be legally binding. Defense News reports that the bill fully
supports the Pentagon budget request for the F-35. The budget allots $3.2
billion to purchase Navy versions of the F-35 and $3.7 billion for the USAF
version of the fighter. In total, the Pentagon wants 32 F-35 fighters in 2012
with 19 going to the USAF, seven for the Navy and six for the Marine Corps.
Defense News adds that a Defense Acquisition Board review to establish a new cost
baseline for the F-35 has been postponed until this fall. The review has been
rescheduled for late May before being reset to mid-June and the rescheduled
effort to control the price of the F-35 program comes in part from the estimate
that the F-35 program could cost as much as $1 trillion in operating costs.
quote: Sorry but I still agree with the OP. And I really hate agreeing with him :P I still don't see how the F-35 is a better deal than the F-22, which was yesterdays fighter. In what areas is it even more advanced? None! It's a boondoggle.
