The 5 Most Hilarious Abuses of Video Game Glitches
#2. Fallout 3 -- Exploding the Elderly
I'm not sure I've ever gotten as much enjoyment out of a concept this simple before in my life. I've played the Fallout series, and I loved every second of them, but if you were somehow able to compile all the happiness that hundreds of hours of gameplay has brought me, it would not compare to this five-minute video of the player repeatedly blowing up an old man with a giant pile of frag mines.
It's so damn simple, but I can't stop watching it. Step one -- drop a few dozen frag mines on the ground:
Step two -- fire off a round at the old man to make him get up and come at you:
Step three:
Oh, suck it, you old bastard! Eat sky!
And then he just keeps doing it. Over and over again. Frag. Shot. BOOM! Old man flopping through the sky. And I laugh every goddamn time. Each time, glancing down at the time bar to make sure it wasn't the last one. "Is he going to do it again? Hell yes, he is. And I am going to enjoy every second of -- " BOOM!
I should probably stop watching these. People will start to think I'm a little -- oh, hey! A sequel:
#1. Minecraft -- The Cat Fountain
This is why video games were invented. Everything we have ever done with graphics, AI, storytelling, physics, sound design ... it has all been in preparation of this solitary act of game manipulation. The Cat Fountain. Make sure your speakers are on because once that thing gets going, you will never see or hear a more perfect form of video game comedy in your life. This is it. This is the apex of our evolution. This is comedy Rapture.
It's done by manipulating these simple rules of the Minecraft universe: if you make cats in creative mode, they follow you around. And if you get too far away from them, they will teleport to you. So if you build a virtual Tower of Babel to the game's ceiling, leaving only a single square's thickness at the top, when the cats port onto it, they immediately fall off and re-teleport back up there. If you get enough cats going at once ... Cat Fountain.
This page also represents everything that is wrong with the world. Not the video itself, mind you. It's what's under it:
The fact that those 20 people exist frightens me. That there are sincerely 20 people in the world who watched that video, pondered it for a second, and thought, "That's stupid." It's not that they exist as individuals -- they represent a larger blight found at the fringes of every community, staring in with gritted teeth and bloodshot eyes, ready to tear down anything that represents fun and originality. Those 20 people are the barbed wire that will always stop a utopian society from forming.
Cat Fountain exposes that darkness in ways philosophy and activism never could. With a smattering of meows and a flowing spill of tails and fur, Cat Fountain is a reflection of what we are ... and an encouraging vision of what we could be.
Thanks to the posters in this thread for helping find these, feel free to go in there and post your own. John has a Twitter and a Facebook Fan Page. Both of which are certain to win him a Pulitzer Prize in Internet thing-typing.

LISBON - Lisbon's varsity basketball team might be the youngest in the Inter-Tri County League upper tier this season.
Just don't call them inexperienced.
Starting three freshman and playing one more frosh significantly, the Devils are using a bevy of players accustomed to a year-round hoops schedule to get off on the right foot this season.
On Friday, freshman forward Josh Craig scored 25 points off the bench to lead the Devils over rival United 76-54 in the league opener for both schools.
"All of these freshman play 12 months out of the year," Lisbon coach Chris Huckshold said. "We also kept them really busy in June getting them ready to be thrown into the fire."
Huckshold, in his fourth season as the Devils' coach, said this is his best start through three games (2-1) and he's cautiously optimistic things will be better this season.
"The whole team is basically new," Huckshold said. "We have one returning letterwinner (junior Matt Spencer). The rest are new to varsity, but they're growing up quick."
Spencer, the most experienced of the bunch, had 10 points and 15 rebounds against an Eagles' team that has lost 28 of their last 29 on the road. Freshman point guard Josh Liberati added eight points and nine assists. Freshman post Austin Rutecki chipped in nine points and 13 rebounds. Freshman Avery Andric also got into the act with 10 points.
"We've had three games so far and three different leading scorers," Huckshold said. "Any of our first seven has the ability to lead on any given night."
Craig, who was at Heartland Christian last year, said he's enjoying playing ball with his class once again.
"I last played with them in sixth grade, but we've still been close friends," Craig said. "It's just as fun as it was then."
Craig said he doesn't remember scoring that many points in a game at any level, but he did credit his success to those around him.
"The guards did their jobs and passed really well," Craig said.
Craig scored 10 of his points in the second quarter to help the Devils out to a comfortable eight-point lead at halftime. After that the young Devils kicked it up a notch and had no trouble pulling away from the Eagles (0-3).
"We didn't show up defensively," United coach Matt Mowery said. "We gave them too many layups and didn't stop them off the dribble. If you don't play defense, you're not going to win games."
Mowery said he wasn't surprised to see Lisbon's freshman do well.
"They've won at every level so far," Mowery said. "They know how to win."
Braden Davison had 16 points to lead the Eagles. Paul Faulkner added seven points and 12 boards.
Lisbon hosts Mineral Ridge on Tuesday, while United concludes its four-game road trip to start the season at East Palestine.
United won the jayvee game 64-20. Caleb Berdine had 18 points for the winners. Ben Sell added 15 points. Mike Evans scored five points for Lisbon.
UNITED SCORING: Paul Faulkner 3-1-7, Brandon Miller 2-0-5, Caleb Berdine 0-0-0, Garrett Beech 2-1-5, Cody Dickens 1-0-2, Andrew Martin 3-2-8, Jared Powell 1-0-2, Caleb Conser 3-3-9, Braden Davison 7-2-16, Tyler Plummer 0-0-0. TEAM TOTALS: 22-54, 9-15: 54.
LISBON SCORING: Corey Brammer 1-2-5, Matt Spencer 5-0-10, Eric Walker 4-0-9, Josh Liberati 3-0-8, Austin Rutecki 4-0-9, Avery Andric 4-0-10, Josh Craig 10-5-25, Trevor Reese 0-0-0, Jared Merriman 0-0-0, J.J. Crow 0-0-0, Mike Evans 0-0-0. TEAM TOTALS: 31-69, 7-9: 76.
Three-point goals: United 1 (Miller), Lisbon 7 (Andric 2, Liberati 2, Walker, Rutecki).

Tuition and Financial Aid
Private University = expensive university. Right?
Not so fast. Charleston Southern University, voted one of America's Best College Buys, costs less than average private universities in the South -- and way less than the average private universities nationwide.
Look past the sticker price:
- Factor in state and federal aid;
- Factor in scholarships for academics, athletics, Christian ministry and music;
- Factor in campus-based part-time jobs, endowed scholarships, student and parent loans and payment plans (many you can't get at a public university)
- Factor in the unique benefits of a private Christian university (those are priceless)
Now, can you afford not to choose Charleston Southern?
Our financial aid specialists will work with you -- one-on-one -- and help you make it happen.
One more thing we cannot stress enough: apply for financial aid early.

Millennium: The Takeda Oncology Company has a mission to deliver extraordinary medicines to cancer patients worldwide through their science, innovation and passion. They've chosen to artistically represent their commitment to patients through the creation and construction of a monument at their headquarters in Cambridge, MA. This exhibit contains one thousand origami-folded cranes—each crafted from the handwritten personal wishes of cancer patients, employees, physicians, caregivers and advocates on the frontlines of the fight against cancer. An electronic kiosk adjacent to the hanging cranes enables exhibit patrons to virtually touch and see the cranes unfold to reveal the wishes within.
The crane, known in Japan as the "tancho," has for generations embodied hope, beauty and good fortune. An ancient Japanese legend, known as senbazuru (son-bu-zoo-roo), promises that anyone who folds one thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish, such as long life or recovery from illness. At Millennium, their wish is to someday cure cancer.
This initiative has been taken global through 1000cranesofhope.com where each website visitor is invited to make wishes, creating digital origami cranes that will join the flocks and share their voice in a community united against cancer. Users can also click on floating cranes to read the collective wishes of patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, and Millennium, Takeda and IMF employees who stand together in the fight against cancer.
To help raise awareness of multiple myeloma, Millennium will make a special donation to the International Myeloma Foundation for every wish made during March, April and May. Join in the fight against cancer and multiple myeloma by adding your wish at 1000cranesofhope.com TODAY!.

HERSHEY - Alyssa Brandis capped her high school cross country career with her fourth PIAA medal Saturday, but she'll probably treasure this one a little more than the first three.
Brandis ran a time of 19:42, good enough for a second-place finish, at the Parkview Course. Elk County Catholic's Kennedy Weisner was the Class A girls champion with a time of 18:29.
"She ran a perfect race. She couldn't have run any better," Central Cambria coach Randy Wilson said. "The girl that won was simply better than her. She sat in the second pack until the mile, and she didn't try to run with the first girl.
"She would have blown up. She made a move, got into second at the hills and opened up her lead. She kept it the whole way through."
As a team, Central Cambria finished third. Elk Lake (66) and West Middlesex (100) both bested the Lady Devils (129).
"I really wanted us to be top five, but the thing about being third in the state is if you aren't top two you don't get recognition with medals, but it's amazing," Wilson said. "We're super excited. We're building, but what we're building at our middle school level will help us be a better team next year than we are this year.
"Alyssa is the first girl in Central Cambria history to medal at states for four years, and she's the second greatest cross country runner at the school in history and that's great for her if you consider the type of runners we've had."
Brandis took fourth as a freshman, 15th as a sophomore and was 12th as a junior before finishing second this year. Each of her first three finishes were in Class AA.
Penn Cambria's Arlee Simendinger finished 20th in the Class A race in 20:33 to capture her first medal. The top-25 finishers earn medals.
"She ran really, really well," Penn Cambria coach Todd Neibauer said. "She was 77th as a freshman and was like a deer in the headlights. She was determined to be up there and it was something to build on for next year.
"Our program is only in its sixth year, and Arlee is the first person to get a medal for us, and it's pretty special and gives the rest of the people something to shoot for."
The Lady Panthers finished in a tie for sixth, two points away from fifth.
Right behind Simendinger was Northern Bedford's Maria Snyder in 21st. Snyder, the District 5 champion, medaled with a time of 20:34.
The top boys finisher in the Mirror's coverage area was Bedford's William Kachman, who finished 30th in Class A in 17:07.
District 6 Class A boys champion Bryce England, of Williamsburg, finished 62nd in 17:46.
Altoona's Brad Foust was the top area Class AAA boys finisher, coming in 80th just ahead of teammate Dominic Stroh, who was 81st.
"Those who look at race results might be surprised to read that we are so proud of Brad Foust and Dominic Stroh for placing 80th and 81st [Saturday]," Altoona coach Lee Baranik said. "However, they are both sophomores who have never been to the state meet before, and Brad and Dominic have set themselves up for a great future at the state level."

Whether it is across the county or across the state, seniors enjoy getting away from it all.
A trip can be as simple as enjoying a luncheon with friends or going a distance to take in a show or a baseball game. Either way, day trips offer a change of scenery and have a way of lifting one's spirits.
Blair Senior Services Inc. offers at least three van trips a month at its centers throughout the county. At Central Blair Senior Center, about six or seven events are planned each month.
Article Photos
(Mirror photo by Gary M. Baranec) Margie Stiffler of Hollidaysburg climbs onto a motor coach for a trip to the Hollywood Casino in Grantville Tuesday. Many seniors enjoy the opportunity to visit other areas and take in different activities and events that a bus trip provides.
Holly Jo Miller, senior center manager, said she receives input from the seniors and schedules activities based on where they want to go.
She said they often choose restaurants, such as the Gourmet Buffet or the Ramada Inn- Altoona. A trip to the Hometown Market in Bellwood along with the nearby Dollar Store is scheduled for a Tuesday every month. Miller said the seniors enjoy the discounts.
While the trips must be in Blair County, they are not limited to dining and shopping. In the past, seniors have gone to Canoe Creek, Royer Mansion and Baker Mansion. Last month they went to the circus.
Lois Lamson of Altoona said she really enjoyed the trips to Baker and Royer mansions.
"We got to tour the buildings and the guide gave us some history," she said. "It was very interesting."
Lamson said she looks forward to the trips and they provide companionship.
"We laugh and talk and sing. It depends on whatever mood we are in that day," she said. Lamson also finds that the van drivers are friendly and helpful. She said she has a little trouble negotiating steps and the driver is right there to assist her.
Miller said seniors can either meet at the center or have the van come to their door.
Seniors interested in taking a trip sign up at the receptionist's desk at the center. Miller said the van ride is 50 cents per trip and all trips take place between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays.
Seniors who are looking for more adventure can hop on a bus that will take them to events in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia or places in between.
Casinos are popular destinations for seniors, said Duane Bordell, tour and travel director for Raystown Transit, Sugar Run Plaza, Duncansville. Other excursions include Pittsburgh Pirate baseball games, American Music Theatre shows in Lancaster or Philadelphia's Flower Show in the spring.
Bordell said a day trip to a gaming destination, such as the Hollywood Casino in Grantville or the Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh is $34 round trip. Excursions to The Meadows horse racing track in Washington, Pa., also are available.
He said trips are planned three ways: A group leader charters just the bus for a planned destination, the motor coach company offers a per person public tour open to anyone or the group leader requests an organized group tour where the motor coach company takes care of transportation, meals, tickets and other amenities.
Shirley Hippo organizes tours for residents of Graystone Court in Altoona. She said the group takes about six trips a year or one about every other month.
"They like to go to one of the casinos," she said. "Most prefer the Pittsburgh River Casino.
Hippo said people set aside a certain amount to spend at the tables or slot machines.
"I don't know anybody who goes overboard," she said, adding that people look forward to getting away for awhile.
"I still drive," Hippo said, "but a lot of people don't get out. They don't drive any longer."
Graystone Court residents have traveled to the American Music Theatre in Lancaster and are planning a trip in June to see "Noah" at the Sight and Sound Theatre in Lancaster. While they are there, they can shop at the outlets.
She said sometimes residents of the Graystone Courts in Bellemead and Roaring Spring also come on board, and it gives people the opportunity to make new acquaintances.
Another group that enjoys an attraction and shopping are the garden lovers who visit the Philadelphia Flower Show.
Palmer Knisely of took over responsibility for the trip about eight years ago after the woman who led it for years died. Knisely said a garden club used to fill the bus, but now people from all over the area go.
Knisely said the flower show is like a shot in the arm after winter. He got a desire to see flowers in bloom before warm weather hits after being in the Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va., area years ago and has been attending the flower show ever since.
He said his family used to drive there, but he prefers the bus.
"It's more convenient," he said.
After the tour, gardeners can shop for plants and flowers in the gift shop or travel across the street to the farmers' market.
Bordell said shopping trips are popular three times a year - Christmas, Easter and late summer for back-to-school outfits for grandchildren. Groups take tours to outlets in Grove City, Lancaster, New Hope and Hagerstown, Md.
Seniors travel by bus to take a cruise on the Clipper or watch a production at the Benedum Theatre in Pittsburgh. Sights known for their significance, such as Gettysburg's battlefield, Philadelphia's historic district, Quecreek Mine or Shanksville, also attract riders.
"It's a nice long day," Knisely said about the trips to Philadelphia. "But [if you are tired], you can take a nap on the bus on the way home."

Continuing Education Dementia Workshop Offered to Health Professionals
Penn State Shenango will offer a continuing education workshop for health professionals titled "Dealing with Behaviors and Modifications for the Dementia Patient" from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, January 25 at the Shenango campus located in downtown Sharon, Pa. The fee for the five-hour course is $50.
The workshop will include a general outline of dementia and offer insights into why dementia patients exhibit behaviors. The instructor will present ideas on how health professionals can deal with these behaviors appropriately and how they can modify activities, treatments, and the environment to accommodate this population. The presentation will include treatment ideas for different settings and instruct therapists on how to provide education to family and other staff members.
The course is designed for occupational therapists and occupational therapist assistants, physical therapists and physical therapist assistants, and licensed practical nurses and registered nurses.

Everything discussed except effectiveness. Shot guns were made to shoot birds, and for the birds they are. Shotguns do NOT knock anybody over. That is for the movies.

The human Chest
If you get a chance to go see one of the Bodies Revealed displays please do. Short of a college gross anatomy class it is the best lesson in shot placement. The real human plastic-ed bodies are an eye opener for those have have a had the good fortune not to see human carnage with their own eyes.
The human body is a wonderful thing, but it is not as rugged as one would think by reading ammo/gun reviews. Sure there anomalies but as a whole humans are not hard to disable/kill.
If you put an 7/8 oz of Shotgun shot into the chest cavity of a human at 15 feet the odds are in your favor that you will be the last man/woman standing.
I am currently preparing a Mossberg 500, 20 gauge for a lady friend of mine. The barrel has been shorten to 20", the stock shorten and good recoil pad installed. Total cost? $220.00
She can not operate her 9mm pistol due to a physical aliment, this weapon will allow her to sleep at easy again. The plus is she get a "kick" out of shoot Milk jug with a shotgun.
There is no right way to do a wrong thing
Deserve got nothing to do with it.

One thing that annoys me to no end is the urban myth that buckshot perform better with a full choke. Yet every official test I have read about and every informal test I have done cylinder/improved cylinder chokes out perform a full choke every time. Full chokes deform large buckshot commonly used in home defense. Try a pizza box at 40 yards. You will see the full choke has way more flyers.

In response to lefteyedoms post about the Mossberg. My only current shotgun is a youth model 500c in 20ga. I replaced the original stock with one that has a pistol grip, it has a 20" barrel standard. I use this for everything, skeet, rodents, deer "at times" and keep #3 buck in it beside the bed. I think your lady friend should be quiet pleased. Having the pistol grip helps me have a little better control. The gun is very easy to handle and if 5 shots of #3 buck can't stop them I have a real problem.

Oh yes, at 5m a shotgun is effective, but not neccessarily instantly. Unlike many others here, this fool speak of own experiences, but I do not think it appriate that I should give details here publically.
Tell me in private mail of your own experience and I will probably be able to match your experience case by case.
I am not interested what anybody has read. But one case I would like to mention.
When we had the bush war on, army intelligence wanted a cornered terrorist alive. He got shot at with a Mossberg 12 G pump loaded with AAA. We had a chance to shoot him with proper rifles.The terry got away and is still laughing to this day. Everybody wanted to know how is that possible, I told them "shotguns are for the birds".
Except for slugs, I always refer to shotgun ballistics as confetti ballistics.

I respect your experiences, but a case where birdshot was used tells you little about the effectiveness of buckshot.

If you are trying to keep someone from escaping, it doesn't make sense to try to use a shotgun in the first place though, regardless of shot size; it is too imprecise. A rifle would have been much more appropriate with a shot to the leg and then allowing the medic to tend to the combatant after capturing him.

Even #4 buckshot is reportedly pretty inconsistant as an antipersonel load, it's 00 and the other large buckshot size that gave the shotgun its reputation as being an effective close quarters combat weapon.

I have owned several scatter guns over the years, all with bead sights. I recently purchased a Rem 1100 that came equipped with a barrel that had rifle sights. To my surprise I am more comfortable and more accurate with it.

patterns. At 20m you could be lucky or unlucky to hit somebody, never mind flyers.
Somebody cited the weight of the shot as a measure to effectiveness.
This is incorrect. The impact of any projectile is always less than
the recoil felt by the operator. (With exception of the Gyrojet long
If one builds a ballistic pendulum of 60kg and shoots into it with a
30-06 or a 12 bore shotgun, the pendulum swing is 95 and 104mm only.
To give it one slight push with a finger, the pendulum moves 450mm. So
as far as weight is concerned, an index finger is more deadly than a
12 bore. One can do it also much easier mathematically. Recoil energy
is another useless figure as it changes wirth the weight of the weapon
and is no indication the amount of recoil produced by a cartridge.

AAA ?? Isn't that a battery size? 12 pellet magnum buck would produce a nasty wound on an assailant rest assured, in addition to slugs particulary hard cast and even standard buck. The shotgun is an awsome defense weapon. God bless america!

Twelve gauge Magnum buckshot load is good for nothing except perhaps blowing off doors of hinges. It's pretty awful anti-personnel load.

Wow! This is a long thread. Lot's of terrific information. Don't forget 3 Gun as apractical way to get proficient. Remember: it's a game, take a good course of instruction on a regular basis.
As far as Tacticool, I have a mossberg 590 and I can not for the life of me "improve it". It's just perfect for me the way it is. Everything I tried to hang on it, now sits in a locker, while the 590 sits in the bd closet.
Thanks again for the excellent info!

The best way is to take combat/defensive shotgun courses. They will do much more to help with "fighting shotgun" skills than 3-gun.

Not "Hollywood" - but damned effective!
With respect to Wllifred: You are, of course, correct. A shotgun blast is not going to send anyone tumbling backwards (or even knocked down, necessarily).
But a well placed load of 00 or slug will stop just about anyone - every time.
Uncle Sam once gave me a free vacation to that garden spot of SE Asia known as South Viet Nam. While enjoying the sights and the ambience, I had occasion to carry a Remington 870 and an M-14. I never felt under-served with either.
It was not a pleasant experience, but the practical use of the 870 left absolutely no doubt as to its's capabilities. I never had to use more than one round per target.
The shotgun, of course is for CQB. It will certainly not replace a good rifle for all-around versatility.
On a side note: I think it's interesting that the US military is bringing back the M-14. I was not a sniper, but we were using the slogan "one shot - one kill" to describe the '14' long before it became popular with the stealthy guys.
Forgetting all of the 'teething problems" the M-16 had when first in service, it was still a pretty good "stopper" (when it worked). Now, from what I hear from guys back from Iraq and Afghanistan is that even a 3-round burst to center-of-mass won't always do the job...the bad guys just keep on going!
The reason is that we got "politically correct" with the M-16's ammunition a few years back...redesigned it, and it no longer tumbles like it used to (causing MASSIVE wounds).
Now, it just goes right on through like a needle.
OK, I'm way off topic and I apologize for rambling. But, to wrap up the shotgun comment: I currently have an 870 with an extended magazine, pistol grip, tritium night sights, a 6-round sidesaddle and a Knox Stock (which practically eliminates muzzle rise and reduces felt recoil to about that of a 20 ga.). To say that I feel confident it will provide all the home defense I need is a vast understatement. Shotguns are not JUST for birds!

Mike, Duke, welcome home brothers. 67,68,69. 3rdMarDiv.
Mike my experiences around the Remington 870 were not as positive as yours. The 870 was the one model shotgun no one wanted. The 870 had a proclivity to double shuck, which would tie up the gun, often and unfortunately for the rest of your, now most likely to be, short life.
I remember in the mid 70's when Remington advertised their "new improvement' on the 870. They split the lifter so you could use your pocket knife to get that second shell out of the receiver. Not a winner.
For me the 870 was a non-starter. Personally during the war I preferred the Ithica's, and later the Mossbergs, particularly the 590 variant. Gave my 590A to my son-in-law and I now play with a Benelli M4 or a double barrel hammer gun when a 12ga fighting weapon is the ticket.
It took me to the late 90's to find out that Remington had finally fixed the double shuck problem some time in the mid 80's. Didn't do any good for some of my buddies in the Nam though. Sort of like the Matty Mattel.
I was able to hang on to my M14 into the middle of 69. I do agree that for 100 yards in the 55gr 5.56 NATO worked pretty good in the XM16E1's and the A1's. By then though I would not trust the AR system any more than the 870 family, at all. Reliability in any fighting weapon was then, and still is today job #1 for any fighting weapon.
Of course the folks that want to run your healthcare system, then chose to "fix" the existing 5.56 NATO round with the M855 62gr round that "tumbled" less. Works through the SAW "better" but who cares that it doesn't put the bad guys down as effectively. The brass and desk jockey's that make these decisions, weren't going to be wounded and killed when the bullet's didn't work as well, as the earlier rounds.
One word comes to mind, "Priorities", the typical government decision is not based on the what is needed by the troops or citizens, but what the government is interested in this week.
AS to the M14, I still have a M1A/M14 in my safe today. Stone reliable and with an effective round. The Army today is still trying to find an "effective" bullet for our service weapon 45 years after being accepted into service. Any one see a disconnect here?
Interestingly enough, no one had or has had any problem with the 30-06 or 308/7.62 NATO. They work well even when not using the most modern or up to date bullet material and/or designs.
I have always believed we need two calibers anyway. One for in town and one for out of town, I like the idea of a "do all" caliber, sounds great, but in life most duel use things don't do both things well. We are back to priorities.
So endith the rambling and inane sermon.
Good luck to all.

Not that I have a lot to contribute, but in my tour in the "Sand Box" (Al Anbar Province, Iraq) in the Marines (attached to 1stMarDiv) as an infantryman I can say the Benelli M4 worked pretty well when actually deployed and used for its intended purpose. Never observed one to jam or go down for any reason, and being a semi-auto follow up shots were no doubt easier for guys who had them if for no other reason than everything else is semi or full auto and pulling the trigger again is more consistent with your muscle memory training.

Remington 870 Problems?
Chieftan: Good to read your input.
It occurs to me that my noting that I carried the 870 pump AND and M-14, WOULD seem to indicate that I was 'jarhead' (lovingly expressed!).
Actually 1st CAV...where the shotguns were not nearly as widely used as in the Corps.
I had the great advantage of having grown up in a 'gun-family'. My father, who WAS a Leatherneck in WWII (Guadalcanal, New Georgia) was an avid shooter and antique gun collector (I actually got my first gun the same week I got my first bicycle!).
The upshot is that I had been using pump shotguns (especially the 870) since I was a kid. And although I know there were some mechanical/design "issues" with the weapons in combat use, I can't help but think that "human error", especially under such extreme stress was a contributing factor.
I never experienced a failure of any kind.
How I came to hold onto the M-14 I carried to Nam while almost all the others around me had already converted to the "Plastic Fantastic" is a story for another post. I'll just say that "greybeard" First Sergeants had more sense
than the 'West Pointers' in higher echelons.

OK, some people have busted my chops for my previous videos showing how quickly the Benelli M4 can cycle, claiming that I'm obiously just spraying pellets all over the place and no way can I hit anything when I shoot it so quickly.
Well...I thought, "That's a fair enough point."
I got the M4 out to the gun club and my son and I put it through its paces against a few very suspicious looking characters with handgun and black ski masks on.
I think the conclusion is simply this:
Yes, the Benelli M4 is manageable enough to get a lot of lead down range in a big hurry and be accurate at a self-distance distance.
Please note....
NO, I am NOT advocating ever shooting a shotgun this quickly in a SD situation and yes, I know pellets missed the BGs too, but...as you will see, with more controlled double tapping, etc. I got the lead on target just fine, and even at the quicker speeds, got the majority of lead on target.
So, there you go.

My own dedicated HD shotgun is a Mossberg 500 with an 18 1/2 inch barrel, cylinder bore, youth length stock, five round mag and a five round sidesaddle stocked with 2 3/4" slugs. The tube is stocked with 2 3/4" buck.

Pinewood Preparatory School rising senior, Katie Smoak, has been accepted into NASA's Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math High School Aerospace Scholars (WISH) Program. She is one of 40 female students nationwide accepted into the program.
WISH is a one-of-a-kind experience for female high school students to explore the possibilities of a "STEM" related career from some of the top engineers in the country. The program accepts over 300 aspiring female engineers from across the nation for an online program, and chooses 40 of those candidates to attend a hands-on summer experience at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Tex. Smoak is the only South Carolina student selected to attend the program.
"WISH gives some of our brightest future innovators a chance to experience some of the exciting challenges that NASA engineers and scientists face on a daily basis," said Ellen Ochoa, NASA Johnson Space Center Deputy Director and former astronaut. "It shows the young women that there are a variety of opportunities for them in technical fields."
Smoak competed for a spot in the summer experience through an application process, and by successfully completing the first part of the program, a 14-week distance learning and research project, this past spring.
Smoak will attend the all-expense paid summer experience at Johnson Space Center later this month, where she will collaborate with other selected students and NASA engineers and scientists to create a NASA-based mission. Program attendees will also be mentored by NASA engineers, participate in hands-on engineering activities, hear presentations from a number of experts, and tour the Center's facilities.
When asked about what the program means to her she said, "The WISH Program opens up opportunities for girls who aspire to become engineers," says Smoak. "It will allow me to meet women in this field, and see what it is like to be a woman in a male dominant work place."
Smoak has been a student at Pinewood since Kindergarten. She has excelled academically, particularly in the areas of math and science. She is a member of Pinewood's regional champion girls' track and field team and the school's media technology club. She is co-president of the school's Panther Ambassadors Club.

The Ignacio High School wrestling team took a giant step Saturday.
The Bobcats, winning more tournament matches than they have all season, placed four wrestlers at the annual Salida Invitational.
�The boys have turned the corner. They�re starting to win matches,� Ignacio head coach Bob Overturf said.
�They�re heading for their home stretch now,� Overturf said.
Heavyweight Josh Gallegos led the Bobcats with a third-place finish in Salida.
�Josh really wrestled well,� Overturf said.
Blane Mickey (160) and Ike Pe�a (138) each finished fifth for Ignacio.
�With Ike, missing most of the season (with injury), his losses are mat-time losses. He just needs mat time,� Overturf said.
Taylor Smith of Ignacio finished sixth at 120 pounds.
�The kids know what we have to do,� Overturf said. �These guys are not quitters. They�re going out and winning matches.�
Overturf said David Cooper won his first high school match Saturday � another step for the Ignacio wrestlers.
The Bobcats will face the state�s best next week when they travel to Paonia for a dual Friday and the annual Screamin� Eagle tournament Saturday, also at Paonia High School.
Paonia, defending state champion and ranked No. 1 in Class 2A, is considered one of the best all-around wrestling teams in Colorado, regardless of classification.

text: With the publication of the New York Times Notable Book River of Darkness, Rennie Airth established himself as a master of suspense. The Blood-Dimmed Tide, set in 1932, marks the return of the beloved Inspector John Madden, whose discovery of a young girl's mutilated corpse near his home in rural England brings him out of retirement despite his wife's misgivings. Soon he finds himself chasing a killer whose horrific crime could have implications far afield in a Europe threatened by the rise of Hitler. A riveting, atmospheric, multilayered mystery, this intense and intelligent tale more than delivers on the promise of Rennie Airth's first thriller.

"The most important thing is to instill confidence," says Leslie Bell, associate director of the Maurice Horowitch Career Center, regarding the practice interviews she regularly conducts with Hamilton students and alumni. During practice interviews, Bell and other career counselors try to anticipate the questions students will field during real interviews with potential employers or graduate schools. The counselors video-record the process, which is open to any student or alum. "They are a great resource to take advantage of because everyone has something to gain," Bell says.
Caitlyn Williams '11, a neuroscience major applying to medical school, is doing a practice interview to learn in what areas she could improve. In a rigorous application process, the interview is a final step for admission. "It's very hard to see things about yourself when someone else doesn't point them out to you," Williams explains.
Bell emphasizes that it's impossible to anticipate exactly what will be asked. "Interviews are as individual as the people who conduct them," she says, "but knowing how to conduct yourself in general in an interview will help you with every possible interview. You have control over your performance." Bell recommends carefully thinking through responses before answering, understanding the purpose behind the question, and framing answers as if they were paragraphs with topic sentences and supporting examples.
Williams finds the process to be a very useful confidence-builder. "The mix of negative and positive feedback really helped," she says, and she now feels more secure with the process that lies ahead: "At least I know it won't be the first time I've interviewed."

LOCKPORT – Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas revoked bail Monday for Miguel E. Febres, who is awaiting sentencing next week for dumping the body of a man who died of a drug overdose in his apartment.
Febres, 36, was arrested Thursday in his apartment on Zimmerman Street in North Tonawanda by county Drug Task Force agents who used a search warrant to grab 16 packets of heroin packaged for sale, a scale, packaging materials, a loaded .22 caliber handgun and $875 in cash.
Febres is to be sentenced Nov. 16 for tampering with physical evidence. He and two others pleaded guilty to hauling the body of David C. Brandl, 22, of Lockport, to Mayor's Park in North Tonawanda. Brandl died of a combination of heroin and cocaine on the night of April 26-27 in Febres' apartment.

Cindy Townsend couldn't stay seated as she started talking about the importance of "getting it right" for her North Charleston Elementary students.
By the numbers
The following is a breakdown of the teachers in the Renaissance schools, which are Burns, North Charleston, Sanders-Clyde and Memminger Elementary.
Number of total teachers in 2012-13: 157
Number of teachers not returning in 2013-14: 65
Of those 65, number who resigned or retired: 20
Of those 65, number who transferred to another district school: 22
Of those 65, number whose contracts weren't renewed (didn't get a job): 15
Of those 65, number who were assigned to a long-term substitute position: 8
Number of new hires for 2013-14: 52
Number of first-year teachers: 23
Source: Charleston County School District
As her passion rose, so did she.
"We all want to be here, and we don't want to let anyone down," said Townsend, the school's principal. "This is not business as usual. We have to do it differently."
Charleston County school leaders feel confident in Townsend and three other principals of high-poverty, low-achieving schools. They allowed those four principals to handpick entirely new faculties for this school year.
The new staff is a critical component of the Renaissance schools project, a multipart, more-than-$1 million effort to improve the four schools.
Although it's too early to say whether it's working, analysis of the newly hired faculty showed more than 40 percent are first-year teachers.
That conflicts with what Superintendent Nancy McGinley said before they were hired, which was that she didn't expect any first-year teachers to be selected.
She said last week that she's not concerned about the number of new teachers, and she's cautiously optimistic about the Renaissance schools.
"I do think we've put together the right process," she said. "They have to implement it. They have to deliver what they're trained to deliver."
New teachers
McGinley created the Renaissance schools project, and it involves four schools: Burns Elementary, North Charleston Elementary, Memminger Elementary and Sanders-Clyde Creative Arts. All rated either "below average" or "at risk" on the state report card last year, and more than 95 percent of all students at each school live in poverty.
McGinley put together an improvement plan that includes hiring staffs of proven, dedicated teachers; providing 20 extra days of classroom-related training and team-building sessions; and giving teachers $1,000 for their professional growth.
First, school leaders wanted to make sure the right people were in classrooms. Research has shown teachers are the most important school-based factor in students' learning, but high-poverty schools often don't have the most qualified teachers. Schools where the majority of students are low-income often have higher teacher turnover rates, and they struggle to attract and retain the most effective teachers.
All teachers at the four Renaissance schools were invited to reapply for their jobs with the understanding that they would work a longer school year and have more responsibilities.
This isn't the first time the district has tried to improve a school by changing its staff, but officials said they learned from the past and implemented a new, rigorous interview process that rated candidates on the same scale to ensure quality.
The four schools employed 157 teachers in 2012-13, and 92 were rehired for 2013-14. Of the 65 who weren't rehired, some transferred elsewhere in the district while others retired or resigned. Still others were effectively fired.
Of the 52 new hires for this school year, 84 percent had less than five years of experience. Forty-four percent of the new hires were first-year teachers.
In April, before the teachers were hired, McGinley said she expected no first-year teachers to be hired, and she wanted experienced teachers who had a proven track record of success.
When asked last week about it, McGinley said she respected the Renaissance school principals and their judgment. They knew the demands of their schools, she said.
"When you are a principal, you want a good mix of experience because the young teachers bring idealism, enthusiasm and energy," she said.
In addition, the process for selecting the first-year teachers involved some combination of: providing a writing sample, teaching a model lesson, or interviewing with a panel of experienced principals and administrators.
"It's not just pulling someone in who is totally unexamined," McGinley said. "The (teaching) teams were put together with care and deliberate, thoughtful planning on the part of the principal. They certainly have a lot at stake."
Hiring the right staff
North Charleston Elementary had 34 teachers last school year, and 24 returned this school year. Townsend replaced some of her former staff with 12 first-year teachers, which was the biggest percentage of inexperienced staff among any Renaissance school.
Townsend said seven of those 12 are Teach for America corps members, and she's a big proponent of that model. Teach for America is a nonprofit that takes ambitious college graduates of any major, trains them and places them in high-needs schools for two years.
Another four of the school's first-year teachers were student teachers at North Charleston Elementary last school year, so Townsend said she saw them in action and wanted them on staff permanently. Some new staff also were vetted through the district's Human Resources office, and Townsend trusted their assessment.
She said she wouldn't trade any of her faculty. Finding the best teachers meant more than looking at their years of experience, she said.
"They truly want to serve the children of North Charleston," she said. "I wanted people who wanted to be with our children and understood what's going on with them."
First-year teacher Julie Barone is among the Teach for America corps members who were placed in Townsend's school.
Her voice scratched at times last week as she taught her second-graders a writing lesson. She said afterward she knew she was sick and planned to see a doctor after work, but she didn't want to be absent.
"I feel like we all have the same attitude and ... everyone wants students to succeed," she said.
More than people
Although personnel in the Renaissance schools are critical, Chief Academic Officer Lisa Herring said the project is more strategic than that.
The bulk of the additional funding going to these schools, roughly $819,000, is paying teachers to work 20 additional days this school year. That time has been used for training and team-building.
The school district spent an additional $17,000 to host a three-day training institute at West Ashley High before the school year started. Two national speakers spoke to teachers, and teachers attended sessions on issues such as student behavior management, parent engagement and data analysis.
Renaissance school teachers had seven additional days of team-building and school-based professional development before the school year began, and they will have 10 more training and joint meeting days as the school year progresses.
Barone said she felt closer to all the teachers on staff as a result of the trainings. If everyone works together, students will benefit, she said.
Herring said teachers will receive $1,000 and all other staff will receive $500 to put toward either graduate or online courses, conferences, professional memberships or professional reading materials.
Going forward
District leaders will be looking for improved student achievement in Renaissance schools, but they plan to establish some measurable goals to gauge the district's return on its investment.
That's important to county school board members, who said they want to be able to see the impact of this effort.
"This is a big investment for the district and one that is surrounded by optimism," school board member John Barter told district officials recently. "It's so important that we be able to measure its effectiveness."
At North Charleston Elementary, Townsend and her teachers are making other changes to meet students' needs. Townsend shifted funding to expand the after-school program to serve 178 of the most needy students in before-school and Saturday programs, too. Teachers are making home visits to families, and like other district schools, they are making positive phone calls to parents about their children.
"We work every day to make this a place where people don't want to leave," Townsend said.
School faculty are united on a mission, and Townsend said they are grateful for the support and the opportunity to move the school forward.
"We're going to make a difference in North Charleston," she said.

On Friday, The Stonehouse will host a night of reggae and punk rock fusion with Arden Park Roots and Thicker Than Thieves.
San Diego-based Thicker Than Thieves defies the current state of popular music, as a band that blends soulful vocals, searing guitar solos and a rock-reggae-based rhythm, according to the group. Thicker Than Thieves "pumps out a sun-baked and surf-inspired mix of heavy reggae-inflected bass lines and blazing guitars," wrote Bill Picture, staff writer of the San Francisco Examiner.
Sacramento-based Arden Park Roots is quickly becoming a common name in the California rock/reggae scene. The group's 2010 and 2011 tours found it further and further from home, building a fan base wherever it seemed to go. Its third full-length album, "Pipe Dreams" (released July 9, 2011), has made huge waves as these herbal advocates mix many styles to create a fresh new sound. They have six major awards under their belt, including the Sacramento shows Local Music Awards (called "SAMMIES"), which they have won two years in a row for "Best Reggae/Rock/Funk band."
They will roll through Nevada City Friday. The show starts at 9 p.m. The Stonehouse is located in downtown Nevada City, at 107 Sacramento St.

If you are from here, you have probably walked or driven past Reeves & Son Shoe Repair Shop at 536 King St. dozens of times.
The store with its name in large gold letters near Cannon Street has that feel of a bygone era. And surely a story to tell.
Locals have gotten their shoes repaired there for years; the store's history goes back to before the Civil War.
But if you have never stopped in before, don't go looking for Mr. Reeves. The owner is Doris Dixon, a petite woman who is "past my 70s" and knows quality shoes.
These days, the "only shoe repair shop in downtown Charleston" sees little foot traffic, because fewer people buy quality shoes, Dixon said.
Most shoes now are made of rubber and can't be repaired.
"... I'll be here"
Doris Dixon is not going away anytime soon. "As long as these hands work, I'll be here."
She began running the store in 1978 following the death of her husband, Elijah Dixon.
The store's history goes back to W.D.B. Reeves, a Confederate veteran who started repairing shoes in a shop on Broad Street in 1860.
After the "War Between the States," as his obituary states, Reeves started his own business; he and son Hoap C. Reeves, formed a partnership after World War I.
Elijah Dixon was working for the younger Reeves in the 1960s and acquired the business when the younger Reeves retired.
The store's name was never changed, and it never will, Doris Dixon said.
She and her husband were grateful that the Reeves family turned over the business.
Doris Dixon moved to the current spot in 1989 after Hurricane Hugo destroyed the building at 442 King St; Mayor Joe Riley and the Chamber of Commerce helped her find the current location.
A step back in time
Step inside Reeves & Son and you take a step back in time. Just about every available space is filled, chock full of plaques, family pictures and electric fans to cool the place.
Lining the walls and cardboards are hundreds of yellowed newspaper clippings of local people, including Riley and blacksmith Philip Simmons.
Dixon said Simmons always walked with both hands behind his back, and would stop in from time to time.
He called her "the Flower Lady," and you can see why. She has nearly 100 potted plants and flowers in the shop.
And, of course, there are shoes everywhere — men's, women's, flats, pumps, boots.
One pair of ladies' purple leather slingbacks has been there since 2009. No one has come to claim them, and Dixon no longer has a telephone number. They are a size 9 medium, by the way.
Asked if she looks at shoes first when she meets someone, Dixon replies with a smile, "Of, course."
And she can quickly tell you whether your shoes can be repaired. Suffice it to say, this columnist needs to buy better shoes.
Dixon, who has not bought a pair of shoes in about 10 years, said there used to be several shoe-repair shops downtown; they have faded as people retired and died out.
Fewer people come into the shop now. She has only about five customers a day sometimes. Asked how she is faring, Dixon said, "I have a landlord with a heart."
The area used to be a big shopping destination with lots of furniture and clothing stores, such as J.L. Goldberg and Edwards' Five and Dime. Now it is populated with bars and restaurants.
When customers stop in for the first time, they ask for the owner, thinking it's a man, Dixon said.
After the initial surprise, they are fine.
Even so, many call her Mrs. Reeves. She smiles and answers to the name.
Dixon has known of only one other female shoe repairer, but she does not think of herself as a pioneer, just a woman doing "what she had to do."
With lots of help, she had to learn to repair shoes when her husband died.
Now she mostly repairs women's shoes and bags; Her son, Louis Nesbitt, repairs the men's shoes.
Oh, while you are there, get your shoes shined — with a modern twist. You sit and relax while Dixon takes your shoes to a machine called a finisher and shines them.
You will only be set back about seven or eight bucks.
