The three defensive linemen selected by their teammates to be captains are tackles Kenny King and Jarret Johnson and end Kindal Moorehead. Also named were quarterback Tyler Watts, tailback Ahmaad Galloway, and punter Lane Bearden.
Watts and Johnson were also selected last year as juniors. This is the fourth time in Alabama football history the Tide has had a repeat captain. The last time that happened was in 1923.
"The selection of permanent team captain at The University of Alabama is very serious to me," Alabama head coach Dennis Franchione said. "To be elected captain by your teammates is the highest honor a football player can receive, and they know that. There were a lot of votes for a lot of different people and that is a tribute to this senior class."
Galloway and Bearden both suffered serious knee injuries during the season. Galloway's injury was career-ending. Bearden missed one game, then resumed punting despite having a torn anterior cruciate ligament that will require post-season surgery. They represented the Alabama seniors, who were captains for the Auburn game, at the pre-game coin toss.
The six captains are the most in school history, eclipsing the previous total of five permanent captains in 1998, 1999 and 2001.
Bearden, a former walk-on from Pelham, has been described by Franchione as one of the most courageous football players he has ever known. Bearden missed one game (Georgia) following the injury suffered against Arkansas and did not participate in kickoff coverage after being hurt. However, he continued to punt well, including averaging 46.5 yards against Mississippi State. Always a competitive player who has made numerous tackles, Bearden even turned in a tackle following a punt against Auburn. He is averaging a very respectable 41.5 yards per punt.
"This was a very unique year with a special group of seniors," Franchione added. "This is the most I have ever had and they were all very strong leaders on this football team. I am very proud of all of these guys."
Galloway, a native of Millington, Tennessee, was Alabama's leading rusher last year as a junior and was leading the Tide in rushing when he suffered his knee injury in the fourth game of the year against Southern Mississippi. Galloway averaged 4.4 yards per carry and his 64.2 yards per game was best by a Bama back this season. He scored four touchdowns his senior season.
The six permanent captains will take their place in Alabama football history this spring prior to the A-Day game (April, 2002). At that time their hands and footprints will be cemented alongside all the former Crimson Tide permanent captains since 1948 at the base of Denny Chimes, located across from the UA President's Mansion on the UA quadrangle.
The Alabama Walk-of-Fame began with the 1948 Senior Class and every permanent team captain as been recognized with their hand and footprints in cement at the base of Denny Chimes for the last 54 years.
Moorehead, a native of Memphis, was a Freshman All-Southeastern Conference performer and made All-SEC in 1999 and 2001. He missed the 2000 season with a torn Achilles tendon. This year he has been in on 50 tackles, including five tackles behind the line of scrimmage and eight sacks. He has also broken up a pass, had 18 quarterback pressures, and caused a fumble.
Johnson, a native of Chiefland, Florida, has also been involved in 50 tackles this season. He has four tackles for loss and four sacks. He has forced three fumbles, broken up one pass, and had 18 quarterback pressures. He was All-SEC as a junior.
Watts and Johnson were named permanent captains for the second consecutive year, becoming the only two players in Alabama history to have the hand and footprints at the base of Denny Chimes twice in their careers.
The third defensive lineman earning the captain honor also has been in on 50 tackles. King, a native of Daphne, has seven tackles for losses and three sacks. He has broken up one pass, had 15 quarterback pressures, caused two fumbles, and recovered one fumble. He is a two-time Academic All-SEC performer and was second team All-SEC as a junior.
Watts, a native of Pelham, had to overcome injury in each year of his career, including a foot injury that kept him out of two games this year. He is Alabama's leading passer, having completed 104 of 166 for 1,333 yards and six touchdowns with four interceptions. He has also rushed 112 times for 329 yards and three touchdowns. Watts, who graduated last spring, is a three-time Academic All-SEC selection and was Freshman All-SEC in 1999.
Johnson, Saleem Rasheed and Watts were the first juniors in the history of Alabama football to have their hand and footprints cemented at Denny Chimes last year. All of the permanent captains from 1948-2000 were seniors. There were no permanent captains named in 1944-46 as game captains were recognized for those three seasons.
In addition, Johnson and Watts are just the fifth and sixth players in Alabama history to be named permanent captain more than once, joining S.B. Slone (1894 and 1896), W..E. Drennen (1900 and 1901), W.S. Wyatt (1903 and 1904) and Al Clemens (1921 and 1923).

How to Defend Your Sanity

Your wife's glasses disappeared at panel #4...
(Thanks for the catch. It's been fixed! Scott)
Clearly those must have been the best vows ever written.
No, not a costume. I'm making a stuffed animal of Snake Ape. I have the skillz.
: ) Thanks for the laugh!
I just assumed that the wife's glasses popped off as a defense mechanism to protect her sanity. As for the vows, why didn't I think of that? That would have come in handy so many times.
Please post "How to Write Your Own Wedding Vows." I really want to see what went into yours ...
Surely a Snake Ape should in fact be a Snape?
"How to write your own wedding vows", now THAT would be a good one too. Keep up the hilarity.
No, not even a stuffed animal. I'm genetically hybridizing snakes and apes. I have the MAD skillz. Emphasis definitely on the mad. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!!!
The first panel is part of a conspiracy to prove that I'm paranoid.
Ha! I love when you write a comic that is both funny and a break through the fourth wall. I really enjoy it. I also wouldn't mind having Snake Ape fighting someone like Omnipresent Man.
I bought your app just so I could add "How to turn an enemy into a friend" to my favorites.
If any man is ever
foolish madly in love enough to marry me, I must also put "...and you'll accept me even though I'm weird" right in the vows.
Because that is an excellent idea.
i'd like to read those vows. they sound more entertaining than the ones my wife and i read.
Holly, if you make a stuffed animal, I want to buy one. Assuming you can get permission from Scott.
This is more like "How to defend your insanity"...
I love that he wrote this into his wedding vows!
Missy's glasses look like an afterthought in panel #4
Written into your vows - a perfect finish for a good comic. Can I go back and revise mine?
This is classic... perhaps leading to another strip in "How to create your wedding vows"?
"Do you, The Wife, take Scott to be your lawfully wedded husband, even though he's really weird?"
"I do...?"
In sickness and in - oh btw I'm a bit weird - health...
Being weird is a healthy part of every complete relationship. It's like the saying, "If you can't spot the sucker in 30 minutes, you're the sucker." But in this case it, "If you can't tell if your parter is flipping odd within an month, you better hope you're odd, or else you'll spend many nights playing charades with your cats."
Which is in no way weird.
Just boring and sad.
Personally, I find the best way to defend my sanity is with a fake looking two-handed over-the-head judo chop!
Thanks for asking, but I already did a comic about writing your own vows.
Is that Trogdor? Is he, dare I say, preparing to BURNINATE?
I can not believe I forgot about your vow one
1.) I'm convinced you never heard of TrogDor, BadStrong or Homestar Runner or at least patently ignored it.
2.)Your wedding vows must have been off kilter but awesome
3.)You're not working for them , which is a pity, 'cos they could help you out of the jams you get yourself into at times.
4.).Did you combine two monster costumes on Paint, Photoshop, whatever and trace over that creationor did you actually free-style that costume?
5.) I'm wondering when kids start happening in this four panel delight?
Though simple, the first panel is one of the most hilarious things I ever read . I may add suspiciously hilarious (shadow covering eyes)... XD
Good one, Scott. Being weird keeps things interesting as we fly around the sun on this ball of dirt.
The Snake Ape living in my closet doesn't have any eyeholes.... or a zipper.
I would of course give Scott all of my dollars, which would no doubt be millions, that I would get from such sales.
However, if Dane really is going to make real live Snake Apes, then my efforts would be in vain. I mean, who wants a toy when you can have the real thing?
Just remember - Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean that you're wrong...
Whenever I read Basic Instructions, I hear the music of Disturbed in my head. And whenever I listen to Disturbed, I inevitably think of Basic Instructions. Apparently somewhere deep down in my psyche I subconsciously identify Scott Meyer and David Draiman as the same person.
"I already did a comic about writing your own vows."
yes, but they weren't about your vows, and there was nothing about you being weird, per se. This topic deserves some attention. you opened the door, councilor.
My 10-year-old daughter and I were whiling away the hours road tripping home today and we started talking about big purses. We agreed that a purse big enough to hold Marmaduke (the cartoon 200-lb Great Dane) would indeed be an enormous tote. Then she went on to say that Enormous Tote Man would be an awesome super hero.
Well? :-)

Ok guys has this ever happened to you it has happened to me by some of my close friends and I wanted to know how you dealt with it

Yes this happened to me. Calmly explain to them the various reasons why you enjoy owning firearms. Time will take care of the rest. I have found that the longer an "anti gunner" is friends with a gun owner and sees that you are normal, their attitude should soften up.
November 15, 2012, 04:35 PM
Occasionally, and almost invariably by people whose opinions count as little to me as those of the wino I once saw in Philadelphia, standing barefoot in a pool of his own urine.
November 15, 2012, 04:42 PM
This is coming from people who's opinion I care about not a drunks
November 15, 2012, 04:42 PM
I refuse to engage in conversations with people who are not rational, realistic or able to think. Same with guns as it is with politics or religion. At the point someone calls me crazy, they have a couple sentences to back it up with facts or I disengage from the conversation.
I like to ask questions when people give me the standard party line - either right/left or whatever. If someone doesn't know why they think something, I like to encourage them to think their position through. If they won't, I won't argue the point. Nor will I be insulted by being called untrue things.
I would also never have a close friend who was anti-gun any more than I would have a close friend who didn't like free speech or any other Constitutionally protected right.

Everyone I know at work or in my personal life knows how I feel about my guns.
But I seldon talk about them because I'm afraid of being stuck with the monicur or stereotype of being a fanatic. Especially at work. They are very liberal about it and want to keep it that way.
I talk to the people about my shooting skills and my guns, that share my pasion, and don't voluteer any information to those that don't know.
My wife does enough talking (complaining) about me and my guns that I don't have to.
Too much talking can make some people afraid, I did that once in my youth and won't do it again.
I refer to my guns as my expensive paper punches and the people I don't know that well seem to be happier that way.
Whether I think it's politically correct from my point of view doesn't matter, It works for me.
November 15, 2012, 04:46 PM
Look guys I understand where you are coming from but I have known these guys for years even before I liked guns so I can't just say oh we are no longer friends .
November 15, 2012, 04:48 PM
Of course, you might be crazy insane or paranoid, guns or no guns.
November 15, 2012, 04:52 PM
This is coming from people who's opinion I care about not a drunks
If you care about their opinion, have a rational conversation with them and find out why they feel the way they do about guns. Also offer to take them to the range with you.
November 15, 2012, 04:54 PM
yep, I usually just ignore their stupidity. Although it has never happend from a friend or family. I try not to associate with those I do not get along with.
So I really cant give advise there I suppose.
November 15, 2012, 04:55 PM
I've mentioned in here before that my dad is a gun guy, but from Canada. He didn't understand why I'd ever want to carry a handgun, thought I was crazy, and was pretty displeased.
He visited once, and we had a long talk. I explained that I have a new family that I need to protect. He finally understood. Then we hit the range! He's thinking about getting his Canadian unrestricted license now, and buying a pistol now. He currently only owns hunting rifles and shotguns
November 15, 2012, 04:57 PM
When I get the usual paranoia-speech, I respond by asking isn't it more paranoid to label people by their hobby. As far as insanity accusations are concerned, some people need to be reminded that that's exactly the same tactic many totalitarian governments used to label people who disagreed with their force-fed "truths".
What separates humans from other animals is ability to use tools. The first tool has always been a weapon of some kind, be it rock, hammer, sword or a firearm, and that's what has enabled human kind to survive and thrive.
There are a lot of people who won't listen any kind of logical reasoning, though. If someone has made up his/her mind and picked up anti-gun mindset as a part of their identity, they're in essence brainwashed (yes, as defined by medical terminology) and will resist giving it up.
November 15, 2012, 05:00 PM
I have some friends like this. Honestly, the best advice I can give is don't worry about it. You can't and won't make everyone happy. You can't change everyone's mind and while you should always debate with an open mind you shouldn't change yours just because someone else thinks you're wrong.
If they're truly friends maybe debate/discuss your point of view on the subject and if they don't come around, let it go. If they continue to push it and continue to insult you then maybe they aren't really friends after all.
My somewhat anti friends just don't bother to discuss it with me anymore.
November 15, 2012, 05:06 PM
I was once told by my sister-in-law that anyone with more than one gun was insane, since "a gun is a gun is a gun." I told her that I thought anyone with more than one pair of shoes was nuts, since "a shoe is a shoe is a shoe."
She didn't talk to me for over a year. It was great!
November 15, 2012, 05:22 PM
I tell them I am not, my mother had me tested.:evil: I then explain that the difference between paranoia and preparedness is perspective. Morecy, I wish it were that easy to get rid of my sisters-in-law.:evil:
November 15, 2012, 05:23 PM
I can't recall that attitude ever being expressed in the South, unless said by some Yankee transplant.
November 15, 2012, 05:28 PM
yes, I have
November 15, 2012, 05:28 PM
"I find it insane that you would rather a woman be assaulted, raped or murdered; than for her to have access to effective self defense"
November 15, 2012, 05:34 PM
When I am referred to as "paranoid" for carrying a gun or having too many guns, I complement them on their observation. :rolleyes:
Then I inform them that just because you are paranoid doesn't mean that there isn't someone out to get you. :evil:
Seriously though, if they are rational and will at least listen to a contrary point of view I will take the time to present my views. If they are not accepted then I will agree to agreeably disagree with them.
November 15, 2012, 05:37 PM
I had a woman say I was paranoid for carrying a gun. I just asked her if I saw her being assaulted should I just keep on walking or would she want me to help. She said that she would want me to help. And then not another word for the rest of the evening.
November 15, 2012, 05:41 PM
Who told you I was paranoid? It was Jim, wasn't it? He's always saying things like that about me. Sure, he acts all nice when I'm around. But I know how he really feels.
November 15, 2012, 05:41 PM
I just asked her if I saw her being assaulted should I just keep on walking or would she want me to help.
That just about sums it up.
People who blindly demean gun owners are INVARIABLY the sorts of people who expect "the government" or their mommy to do everything for everybody.
The idea of them actually placing themselves in REAL HARMS WAY for another human being is so foreign to them, that they easily spout off gratuitous, irrational (and selfish) criticisms toward honorable people who do not share their infantile outlook.
November 15, 2012, 05:48 PM
Like one poster here I try and determine if they are open minded enough to have a sane and rational conversation.
If so I explain my reasons and don't try to change their minds.
If not I change toe subject or refuse to talk to them at all.
It goes to that old saying,,,
Never try to teach a pig to sing,,,
It wastes your time and annoys the pig.
November 15, 2012, 05:53 PM
Yes I have, and I usually find something stupid that the collect and look at it laugh and walk away. There's no need to provide a response to them. You could also say I'm going to the range now, so I don't have to borrow your therapist! just kidding

November 15, 2012, 05:57 PM
Yes. And for many other reasons, too.
November 15, 2012, 06:02 PM
What else is new. Try living in NYC or CA, they think anyone with a gun is a wack job, unless it's a cop or Fed
November 15, 2012, 06:06 PM
Not only have I been called crazy/paranoid, but I've also made crazy people paranoid.
November 15, 2012, 06:14 PM
Been called both, don't really care. As said before, if they want to have a rational discussion, I will be glad to, but once insults and name calling begin, the rational discussion is at an end and I will exit the conversation.
November 15, 2012, 06:58 PM
Have you ever been called crazy insane or paranoid because you like/own guns?
Nope, not to my face anyway.
Those who know me like friends and co-workers who respect me know I happen to enjoy the shooting sports. Many of my friends and co-workers enjoy golf. I never took an interest in the game but I can respect their love of the game. They get up at 5:00 AM on a beautiful Saturday morning and head to the golf course. Hell, they even take one week trips down south to play golf for a week. Golf can be a challenging game requiring patience, self discipline and skills that are developed with practice. While I do not play the game, I know to become good at it requires work and effort.
My friends, family and co-workers know that during the summers I live to get up at 5:00 AM and head to the range for a day of shooting. They drag all their golf gear and I drag all my shooting gear. Golfers focus on hitting a cup and for me it's a target. My shooting is a sport! My love affair with the gun began in 1958 when I was 8 years old and got my first rifle. Some people take to the gun and some don't, many of those who don't end up on a golf course rather than a rifle range.
Paranoid? I know several people with guns who actually are paranoid and they scare me more than many of the anti-gun types I have come across in life. I have guns simply because I enjoy them, I enjoy my shooting as much as many enjoy playing golf. I sure as hell do not have guns as a result of paranoia and believe me when I was 8 years old I had nothing to be paranoid about. I would think any normal intelligent person could understand that and for those who don't quite get it? Matters not to me as I am not about to spend my time justifying my interest to them. My pursuit of happiness is a day at the range.
Just My Take
November 15, 2012, 07:00 PM
Have you ever been called crazy insane or paranoid because you like/own guns?
Sure, but I've been called a lot worse- by a lot worse, than the people who threw these insults at me.
Its a very easy process. I choose to not associate with those that hold these beliefs. Its made a lot of things much, much simpler in my life.
November 15, 2012, 07:22 PM
The vast majority of people who are viscerally against guns don't know much about guns, and they're also not exclusively concerned about this one issue. You can always find other common interests that you can share with them, while downplaying your interest in guns. Then, when they realize that you're "normal," you can talk to them about guns in a rational way. On the other hand, if guns are your only interest, then you're the one who has the problem.
November 15, 2012, 07:29 PM
Extreme Liberalism abounding as it does in my family I get labeled nuts for backing the concept of owning firearms and paranoid for the execution of same.
Whatever - it shares many aspects of the perspective of habitual deniers (those who would deny others access to any activity that they neither understand nor support) in other fields which I enjoy:
My military career
Dirt bikes
Fast street bikes
"Assault" dogs
4WD vehicles
Whatever... Haters are gonna name call as the lowest form of argument.
November 15, 2012, 07:40 PM
It really stops them cold when you start delving into Insurance work, that your wife cuts off Oxycodone from Doctor-Shopping addicts and drug dealers, jails people for defrauding insurance companies, and you've had someone show up at your old address and spout threats because they've felt Wronged.
There's a reason good Insurance companies protect their employees with multiple keycard doors, elevators, and in some cases, Bullet-resistant glass.
I remember years ago, escorting people from the building downtown, to the parking garage, just Blocks from the downtown Precinct, and the Courthouses (federal AND city)
The police aren't in the business of Instantly appearing like Spider-Man the moment someone of ill intent decides to make a move. They tend to arrive after the fact.
You should have heard my Aunt freak out when my Old man gave out Red Ryder BB guns to the adults one Christmas. Her 60th is coming up, I think I'm giving her a coupon for a free Range trip with me. :evil:
November 15, 2012, 08:09 PM
No one I've ever known or met has called me anything over my firearms collection or recreational shooting.
LOTS of internet tough guys have called me some of the most vile stuff you can imagine just for being a gun owner.
For some examples: we're all responsible for every single gun death (EVER!); we're all right-wing fascists just waiting to crank up Final Solution v2.0, whilst sitting in our bunkers stroking our substitute phali.
You get the picture. :rolleyes:
November 15, 2012, 08:17 PM
Probably, but never to my face. Except when my says "your crazy" when I tell her
what I spent on my latest purchase.
November 15, 2012, 08:18 PM
Only by a few of the voices in my head.
November 15, 2012, 08:29 PM
Absolutely. My mother, did I mention that I'm 14? He he. I try to tell her that guns are not mysterious items of sorcery that come alive and kill people but she won't listen. Whenever I attempt to tell her about how the rules of gun safety protect responsible gun owners from injury she brings up some obscure incident involving someone who thought the gun wasn't loaded. I share this problem as well.
November 15, 2012, 08:32 PM
Once. It's kind of a funny story actually.
I was wearing a t-shirt that said Smith & Wesson and had their logo on it and was standing in line at some fast food place (Taco Bell maybe). Some hipster kid (complete stranger, by the way) who probably wanted to impress his friends came up to me and basically called me a murdering psychopath waiting to happen.
I turned to him and said something to the effect of "Let me get this straight... You think that because I'm wearing this shirt that I have a firearm on my person (at the time I didn't, but that's not important) and that anyone who would carry a firearm is a paranoid psycho who is eagerly awaiting ANY chance to bust a cap... and your course of action after arriving at these conclusions is to come over here and pick a fight with me?"
He stood silent for a few moments before slinking away like a defeated dog.
November 15, 2012, 08:40 PM
yup - especially when i mentioned getting my CHL. Some people won't ever get it.

Maybe not crazy, but close. I have converted quite a few people by taking them out with a 10/22 and a 25 round mag. They might try not to smile, but they always do.
November 15, 2012, 10:08 PM
I was going to take the CFP class with one of my coworkers and we were discussing it at my desk. The boss of my boss came over and joined in the conversation since he was thinking about getting his too. Near the end of the conversation, he figured out that I didn't have my permit yet. His response:
"I thought you'd been carrying since you started here." I'd been there for 11 years at that point. I love living in Utah, especially when it comes to firearms. :D
November 15, 2012, 10:16 PM
Quite the opposite:
I've had people approach me after raffles asking if I had won the "Assault Rifle" because they felt it'd be in good hands. 8)

November 15, 2012, 10:24 PM
Have you ever been called crazy insane or paranoid because you like/own guns
Yes, I hear that all the time, but after 29 years of marriage I really don't pay any attention to what she has to say. (LOL)
November 15, 2012, 10:29 PM
I have been (I think jokingly) called a gun nut or crazy when people find out how many guns I have. I, like others, have just found something that interests them and say "that's your hobby, this is mine" or if they question the cost, I say I have spent less on all my guns than they spend on payments for their new car, or insurance for it. I buy used w/ cash :)
If they ask if I am preparing for the end of the world or zombie apocalypse, I say, no, but I guess they'd come in handy. In the meantime I will just enjoy them.
When my friend discovered my "stash" of ammo in the closet, and asked why I needed so much, I asked her, if she could stockpile a year's worth of gasoline at today's prices and (safely) store it in the closet would you? She said yes of course, I said, this is no different. Prices don't usually go down.

I am known as the local gun nut around here.:) That said if there is anything to be shot at they always ask me to come over to do the honors.:D I can always use/enjoy the target practice. So afterwards I always invite them to the range for a plinking session to make them comfortable around firearms. I have converted a bunch of my neighbors into firearms owners as a result.:cool:
November 15, 2012, 10:55 PM
Ok guys has this ever happened to you it has happened to me by some of my close friends and I wanted to know how you dealt with it
My close friends would know better than to accuse me of being crazy, insane or paranoid based upon something trivial.
Seriously, grow up and find some more mature, real friends.

I usually respond to this sort of thing with a series of questions and scenarios. For example:
1. Someone has broken into your home. You're locked in the bedroom with your spouse and child(ren). While you're waiting for the police with 911 on the line and someone starts trying to kick in your door, do you want to be armed or unarmed?
2. Regarding carrying, you might review the testimony of Suzanna Hupp available online. She's specifically talking about the AWB, but her personal experience was in regard to carrying (or rather not carrying.)
There's nothing crazy or paranoid about wanting to be able to defend yourself or your loved ones. Most people can understand this. Some won't even consider the scenarios because they're not willing to consider any information that might erode their position. Others live in a state of blissful ignorance regarding the nature of the world around them and, short of witnessing some act of violence personally, they will not consider the possibility they themselves may ever fall victim to any violent crime.

I have friends outside of the States, and it blows their mind that I can legally carry a pistol with me wherever I decide to go (well as long as the state i'm in recognizes my permit:D). I tell them that it is the least likely piece of life insurance I will probably never ever need, but I prefer to have the option if there is ever bad trouble.
It blows my mind when they say, "I would just call a policeman!" It just strikes me as odd that people have something so drilled into their brain that they can't do the basic math of the time it would take for an officer to get there IF they could even make the call.
My wife used to be wary, but over the last couple of years she's grown to be comforted that I am almost always armed. When we walk downtown for dinner we usually have to pass by a few shady alleys.
"You packin'?" as she reaches around and feels my hip.
"Don't I always?"
Even my mother in law sees merit in it now. She's widowed and lives in a nice patio home community. Her neighbors house was broken into in broad daylight while the lady was at her husband's FUNERAL:fire: Last weekend while we visited for the night, a police chopper was hovering overhead spotlighting the backyards of various houses looking for someone for a good 20 minutes. And this is in a nice area:confused:
She didn't give me a moments pause when I told her to close the blinds, make sure the doors were locked, and set the alarm. I didn't want anyone to see that there were two women, a toddler, and one man in the house. She also didn't mind that I stayed up a bit later with my .45 keeping me company;)

I once had a "friend" tell me she was personally offended because I shot groundhogs.
November 16, 2012, 08:02 PM
Well, in a sort of passive way. Folks I work with always say that when SHTF happens, they will all come down to my "compound" so that they can be protected by my "arsenal". I just tell them that they had better come visit often and help with the moat I'm building or I won't allow them to visit later.

No. I'm from the south, as well. Seriously, if that was a problem, I'd say you have three choices:

2. Get over it.
3. Or both.

I've been called "a real gun nut" more than once because of my large collection of firearms. If they are truly anti gun I usually humor them by stating what a comedian stated quite a few years ago; "guns don't kill people, people kill people, and anybody don't believe that ought to be shot". Usually that will put an end to any further nonsense.:cool:
November 16, 2012, 09:23 PM
Of course.
Most people call those who prepare more than themselves paranoid.
You can even see it among gun owners. Those who prep more are considered paranoid. If you don't believe me ask about wearing concealable body armour (bullet resistant vest) as part of your 'daily carry' as a regular run of the mill citizen. Or ask about carrying multiple guns with multiple spare magazines. Somewhere in the thread, a person who carries a gun themselves will call you paranoid.

A boyfriend of a sister inlaw commented once that it must be difficult to be so scared all the time after he found out I carry.
I told him I carry in case, not because I am scared. You don't carry a spare tire in your car because you are terrified of nails.
He had never shot a gun before his visit and upon return home he bought a Glock to keep in the house.

Being bitten by the gun bug really late in life, probably so, but not to my face.
During the LA race riots, did anti-gun neighbors of Charlton Heston actually ring his bell and ask to borrow a gun or two?
From what I remember reading, he said no.
November 17, 2012, 03:10 AM
A couple of times. The voices in my head told me to ignore them and go home and reload.
November 17, 2012, 03:20 AM
If you care about their opinion, have a rational conversation with them and find out why they feel the way they do about guns. Also offer to take them to the range with you.
This is what I do, if I can. Sometimes it works, and leads to intelligent discourse. Some of 'em actually make good, and go to the range. Sometimes it leads to much amusing smack-talk. (I am a cranky wiseacre what manages a bar, at least for the next two and a half months)
Sometimes, if they disagree, I just shrug it off and we understand that everyone has differing opinions on certain subjects, diff'rent strokes. Some of these people I call friends.
Occasionally, someone seems a bit indignant that I choose to live my life the way I do. Usually, these are friends or co-workers of people that I know who are aware of my hobby, and feel the need to bring it up. A memorable fellow that used to live here would joke to said folks not to cross me, or I might shoot them. He has been informed why this is not something to say casually.
It usually doesn't go much beyond this. If it does, hey, it's my party and we don't have to be friends if you don't want to. I can still serve you and take yer dough. Even be civil, long as you can be.
Then I'll go home to my mostly understanding wife and my mostly happy life will continue. The cats like me most of the time, too.
If you feel warm and fuzzy thinking that I am insane or paranoid, and really feel the need to tell me so, more power to you. Don't bother me at all. (Looks around wildly, mumbles randomly to self) :neener:

November 17, 2012, 06:38 AM
Called that by close friends? Nope. My friends know about my interests, not just firearms, and most likely share them.
Acquaintences, especially from work, may have thought it but never said it to my face. But I was always glad to discuss firearms if they had questions and explain the many ways people are interested: history, technology, recreation, hunting, SD, etc. I also offered to take them to the range. My wife and I have converted over twenty people that way.
The real, irrational anti-types I just ignore. And since we are retired, we no longer have to deal with the retarded attitudes so prevalent in DC and the suburbs. Living outside the Beltway has its advantages.

Once.. He was an Indian (India) and I worked with him in Dubai. He said he was scared of me, because I looked and talked about guns all day.
I just chalked it up to different cultures.

Seems to me the "likes guns and is crazy" attitude was much more prevalent in the 80s and 90s. Today everyone seems to own a gun and a CCW license. Especially here in Florida.

No. I live in Arkansas. Folks with guns are pretty commonplace. With that said, I do know a few non-gun-owning folks. I won't call them anti-gun, because most of them don't mind my owning guns. They just don't want any themselves.
November 17, 2012, 12:30 PM
Very few people know about my interest in firearms. I don't hide it, but I don't really advertise either.
So, the only time that people have expressed an opinion about things in which I am interested, is when I open my mouth.

"Not a damned thing."

What separates humans from other animals is ability to use tools. The first tool has always been a weapon of some kind, be it rock, hammer, sword or a firearm, and that's what has enabled human kind to survive and thrive.
Careful there. Recent studies have documented that chimpanzees, bonobos, and even parrots have been observed not only using but making THEN using "tools".
Now, as the late Dr. Louis Leakey once said, "Now we must redefine 'tool', redefine 'use', or redefine 'man'."

to answer OP, yes. when I was laid off from a job in the past everyone else in my section was allowed to walk out with their belongings in a box. I was escorted out by security and my boss cleaned out my desk for me as to prevent an 'incident' from happening. I was told the NRA sticker on my old vehicle was to blame.

November 19, 2012, 09:12 PM
A lot of friends and families make comments in jest about preparing for the end of the world and what not.
On the other hand, i've met quite a few gun nuts who i found to be paranoid and delusional. I run into quite a few every time i go to the gun show. I've seen a few here as well. But it ain't the passion for guns that has led me to form that opinion of them.
November 19, 2012, 09:58 PM
I usually tell people who I don't really know who ask why I have guns that I like to target shoot and be able to protect my family. After I get to know them a bit I generally offer a range trip.
Also to anyone who says something to the effect that I like violence because I own guns, I respond with 'that's like saying you have car insurance so you like to get into accidents.'
When someone says 'I think guns should be banned' I say 'yes I agree, the military and police should not have guns' when they say 'well the military and police should' I say 'so you're not anti-gun you're just pro elitist.'
November 19, 2012, 11:24 PM
It's a double standard, isn't it?:D An "eccentric" with guns is a "gun-nut", but a non-gun owning "eccentric" is merely a "crackpot".
I suppose it's too much to ask the world to recognize there's only "nuts-nuts" out there to worry about; and that what their hobbies happen to be isn't the problem, but their mental state :rolleyes:. While probably less dangerous to society than outright crazies, I have run into a number of gun and/or knife guys at gunshows who seem to exhibit a... ...special...relationship with weapons--shall we say :uhoh:. That guy who gets finger prints all over everything on the table:scrutiny:
November 20, 2012, 12:04 AM
It does seem like it was more common to get ribbed about it in the '90's with a lot of "militia" jokes and whatnot. For the last decade I don't think I've heard a single serious negative comment. I've made a lot of converts along the way just by keeping cool and being a positive example. I've found that many "antis" may secretly want to own firearms but feel socially pressured to disavow them. You just may be the permission they are looking for.

The effects of lumbar sympathectomy on the lower extremities have been extensively studied, but the results in certain respects have been sufficiently conflicting to warrant further investigation.
In this paper will be included roentgenologic observations on the peripheral vascular tree, studies on reactive hyperemia and observations on the temperature of the skin.
In all the experimental work to be presented, unilateral lumbar sympathectomy was performed, usually on the left side. This included excision of four ganglions and the intervening chains from the sacral promontory upward. Healthy adult dogs were used, and the operations were performed under morphine-ether anesthesia, aseptic technic being used.
Horton and Craig1 did unilateral lumbar sympathectomies on dogs. Two to three weeks after sympathectomy, they injected metallic mercury into the aorta, after bleeding the animal, and then made roentgenologic studies of the hindlimbs. They stated that the vascular tree of

Jeffrey G. Pepper
The best judges are, without a doubt, those who enjoy what they do. Nearly every judge I know savors the assignment to judge a Specialty show, for it is at the Specialties that we tend to see the greatest number of dogs of that breed congregating in one place. This normally provides the potential for a depth of quality seldom seen at All-Breed shows. One of the many highlights of a judging career often comes from judging a National Specialty.
For many judges, the Veterans classes, where dogs or bitches return to the ring after staying home for some time, are the most difficult. These dogs were the winners of yesteryear, and seeing them again can bring a tear to the eye of even the most jaded fancier. Often, some of the best-quality dogs in the entire show are those competing in the Veterans classes.
Beauty before ageThe question often arises as to how Veterans classes should be judged. For me, there is little question. I'm not there to let my sentiment push me into rewarding the oldest dog in the ring with a ribbon. I'm still judging, so I'm looking for the best example of the breed in the class.
At a Specialty, the winner of a Veterans class is eligible to compete for Best of Breed – and sometimes wins. Seeking quality means I cannot forgive the sagging topline caused by having a litter or by age. Seeking quality means I cannot forgive faulty movement. But seeking quality does allow me to ignore those inevitable gray hairs.
One judging difficulty occurs when viewing a dog that retains classic breed type when stacked but, upon closer examination, has not been treated kindly by age and time. This is often the dog that falls apart when gaited. Here the judge faces a tough decision: either recognize the type and place the dog highly in the class, or fault the weaknesses that appear to be the result of the natural aging process. There's no easy answer to such a dilemma. It's difficult to reward a dog that's no longer able to perform its intended function.
In the end, judges are charged with deciding on placements that are based on how the dog looks on the day, not how it might have looked before or even on how it might look tomorrow. Prior records should not figure into the decision-making process.
It's also interesting to see how a breed holds up over time. Has there been a change in the style of dogs since the members of the Veterans class were youngsters? Has the breed improved over time, or has the quality slipped since then? From this point of view, to find that the best dogs in the entire show are found in the Veterans classes generally does not speak well for the breed. The youngsters should, ideally, be of better quality than the older generation, for the job of breeders is to protect and improve the breed.
Big winners of the pastSometimes a judge finds that one of the dogs in a class was, in its younger years, a big winner. What should a judge do if the dog with the big record has not held up well over the years? Perhaps the dog has lost some of the muscle fill in the skull, creating a head that is not as good as it once was. Maybe the superb movement of years past can no longer be seen. Should a judge recognize the record of the dog by giving it the class or a placement despite the signs of age? A difficult decision.
The owners or handlers of this former winner must also make tough choices. Should the dog be brought out to the show despite its current shortcomings, or should it remain in the comfort of its home where it can rest on its laurels, and its fans can remember it as it once was? For me, despite the temptation to exhibit a dog one more time, it's sometimes best to resist the pull.
Golden yearsSometimes, despite best intentions, personal experience can intrude on the judging process. For example, I've now been judging for more than 23 years. Perhaps the most difficult class I ever judged was a Veteran-Bitch 12-Years-and-Older class at the Golden Retriever National Specialty in September 2001. The show, held in Albuquerque, N.M., about two weeks after the attacks of Sept. 11, was a difficult show for many people. However, it was especially tough for me. I had lost my mother on Sept. 7, and my last Golden Retriever passed away at the age of 13 about 10 days later. 'Lucy' represented many generations of my own breeding, and was the last of a line of Goldens I had worked with since 1969. As you might imagine, losing Lucy was not easy.
At that show, the 12-Years-and-Older Veterans class consisted of five bitches. As the oldest Veterans filed into my ring, I began the evaluation process. The last bitch in line seemed to be the one that was not going to get a ribbon. Each of these Goldens was clearly enjoying their day in the sun as I went over them individually and gaited each dog.
When I came to the last bitch in line, my initial impression proved to be correct. She was going to be the one to leave the ring without a ribbon. As I had with the others, after doing the individual examination, I asked that she be moved in a triangle, and the handler complied. When she stopped in front of me, I asked the handler to take the bitch down and back. The handler swung the bitch around and said, "Come on, Lucy." Well, I lost it. Of all the potential names for a Golden bitch, what were the odds this one would be called Lucy?
In the end, she still didn't get a ribbon.

The Allegan County Sheriff's Office K-9 program has received a $3,000 donation from the Holland Michigan Kennel Club.
Sgt. Brett Ensfield, coordinator of the K-9 Division, said he plans to use the donated funds to purchase heat sensors for vehicles used by the K-9 program.
The devices will set off an alarm if the interior temperature rises too high. This could help save the life of a dog that is alone in a stopped or parked vehicle.
Sheriff Blaine Koops stated, "We are so grateful to have the ongoing support of the Holland Kennel Club members. The K-9 Teams are excellent community policing examples which provide immeasurable benefits to the safety and security of county residents."
In 2010, one K-9, Lucky, was purchased and trained with a donation received from the Holland Kennel Club.

Man who lurked inside Citrus Heights classroom now sought
Police said unidentified man left campus without explanation
An unidentified man who entered a Citrus Heights classroom, and left without an explanation, is now being sought by authorities.
It was not the first time the man had been seen on campus, police said.
When the man was approached inside a classroom at Citrus Heights Elementary School on Friday, police said he told a teacher he was waiting for his wife to park a car.
The man then left the school campus and he was not located.
He was not recognized as a parent by school staff, police said.
During the investigation, authorities learned that he had been on campus on Dec. 12, as well.
Police have reviewed campus video surveillance in an attempt to identify him.
Police said no criminal activity occurred, but they want to determine why he was on campus.
The school is located at 7085 Auburn Blvd.

Monday, 1 October 2012
The best possible situation for the West, which is why one wishes not to bring this conflict to a rapid close, but to watch it go on for as long as possible,and ideally, to deepen resentments among, and have repercussions on, Sunni, Shi'a, Druse, Christians, Kurds, and other peoples and regimes, in Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, and the Gulf.
From The Times (UK):
Tehran split over Syria deadlock
IRAN is spending billions of dollars in support of President Bashar al-Assad of Syria, creating a rift at the top of the regime in Tehran as the war remains deadlocked.
Failure to decide the Syrian conflict in favour of Assad, despite huge military and financial support for the regime in Damascus, has caused a split between Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and Iran's spymaster, Qassem Suleimani.
According to Western intelligence reports, details of which have been passed to the The Times and confirmed by other sources, the two men, who have been close for years, are at loggerheads over the failure to crush the 18-month uprising.
Iran is thought to have spent $US10 billion ($9.7bn). Defectors from Assad's forces have told co-ordinators for the rebel Free Syrian Army in the Gulf that Iran has been paying the salaries of Syrian government troops for months, as well as providing weapons and logistical support.
This huge outlay has increased friction in Tehran as the Iranian economy labours under international sanctions imposed by the West to curb Iran's disputed nuclear program.
Mr Suleimani, the commander of the Quds Force, a unit of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, masterminds Iranian strategy with its proxies across the region, including Hezbollah and Hamas.
Late last year, he assured Ayatollah Khamenei that he could turn the tide in Syria and crush the rebels.
Instead, the conflict has become a bloody stalemate, as Iran pumps weapons, troops and cash into Syria to counter support for the rebels from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar, overseen by the US.
The Syrian regime's deployment of its air force in recent months has increased the civilian death toll without yielding a breakthrough, while the rebels still lack decisive firepower. With the war at a stalemate, Iran is left paying an ever more costly bill.
"Suleimani promised he would turn the situation in Syria around and has failed to deliver," said one Western defence source.
The Iranian government knows this is money it cannot afford to squander with its economy on the brink of collapse. Inflation and unemployment are soaring and there is widespread unhappiness among ordinary Iranians at the regime's fixation with the war in Syria while sanctions continue to bite.
Senior regime figures are also questioning Iranian strategy in Syria, fearful of unrest at home if the conflict drags on and the scale of Iran's spending becomes public.
Tehran reiterated its support for Assad at the weekend. Ali Akbar Velayati, Ayatollah Khamenei's foreign policy adviser, insisted victory for the Assad regime was "certain" and would represent a victory for Iran.
Behind the scenes, Iran is exploring other options and reopening talks with various opposition groups, including the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood, in an effort to retain a stake in the country should the Assad regime be toppled.
"They need time to build the necessary alliances to make sure Iran is not expelled from Syria for ever," said one source in the Gulf.
Failure to crush the Syrian uprising puts the first real dent in the reputation of Mr Suleimani. Head of the Quds Force since 2002, he marshalled the Shia insurgency against US-led forces in Iraq, entering Baghdad at will under the noses of the Americans and becoming a darling of the ultra-conservative elite in Tehran.
He is so close to Ayatollah Khamenei that he has been touted as a contender for the presidency when Mahmoud Ahmadinejad steps down next year, but most observers consider him unlikely to run for office just now.

We should all support the Iranian efforts to help Syria and the West should stay out of it. This policy works, the proof is that the Iranian rial has lost another 18% in the last week.Another few weeks like that and there will be open riots in the streets of Teheran, the next Zimbabwe in the making.

In between walking around London in the frigid weather, I holed up at the hotel to thaw out my feet - the lovely new boots turned out most disappointingly to leak.

The windows overlooked Hyde Park, which was sadly frozen through and through. I took a short walk through Kensington Gardens past the memorial playground and down to The Serpentine one day, then curved back around and took refuge from the cold in the Underground - my ears were threatening to break off in the icy wind.
Some people were feeding the huge swans, and there were lots of gulls, pidgeons, crows, starlings and several types of beautifully marked geese crowding around as well.

Hey everyone,it's been awhile. Most of you might not even know who I am,but for some of you that do,I just wanna tell you what I've been up to.
As of March 29th,2011 (My 23rd Birthday) I've been accpeted to the Academy of Art University in San Francisco for this Fall year. After I found out,I was so happy,blessed and super-excited. But I need extra money to save up,cause my current job isn't enough.
A week later,I got another job working at Barnes&Noble (in the Starbucks Cafe area) and full-time. So as of now I officially have 2 jobs,which is freakin exhausting,but awesome at the same time. Basically what I'm saying is,I haven't had much time to really be on here like I used to,so in advance,to all my friends on 1up,I apologize.
I also haven't had much time to play video games,unless it is on a portable device. Which brings me to my next paragraph...hehehe
I recently repurchased a PSP 3000 (I actually have a PSPGo as well). I really miss the regular PSP and along with it,brought Dissidia 012: Final Fantasy,Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep and Final Fantasy IV. Now,I've never played FFIV before,but I always hear that it is the 2nd best (to FFVII) of the series,So I finally decided to see what the people were talking about. And so far,I'm really loving it,at the beginning tho,like I mentioned earlier,I don't really have much time to play games anymore.
I also recently purchased a Artist Model,for my artwork,Eden of the East: The King of Eden and FLCL: the Complete Series on Blu-ray.
I will try to post some of my artwork (when I have the chance) but yeah,if you guys ever wanna keep in touch,you can always reach me on Facebook or AIM "just send me a email and ask for the info" Life has been SUUUUUPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR busy for the pass month,and I'm enjoying every minute of it.
Peace and be safe and game'on! :p

|Here are some details about my project:
|Funky, Casual, Traditional, Cute, Classic
Looks like Saami colors! I'm getting ready to start a scarf of this same yarn! Can you tell me what size heddle you used (I'm tentatively planning on a 10, weaving with Wollmeise 'Twin') and how approximately how long and wide you made it, with approximately how much yarn you had left over? I want to use my yarn up as much as possible but still don't have the skills to do the figuring as to how much of a scarf this will actually make (I have the full skein of 510 yds, fingering weight). Thanks for any help you can give! Lisa
All the info is listed above in the instructions. Let me know if you need further details.
OK, I'm warped - used sized 10 heddle. I used the worksheet and hopefully will have enough yarn for the length that I want. Will post photos when done!
Good luck! Can't wait to see your scarf.
For some reason the project instructions didn't appear when I opened this the other day - just the photo and the comments area. Thanks for including all of the detail and it does look like I'm on the right track. I love my Cricket :-)

If you only do one thing this weekend . . . head for New York
Laurence Mackin
Listen: New York baby – it's a cruel mistress and an inexhaustible muse. Just yesterday I was reading this list of books inspired by the Big Apple (some of which I've read, more than a few of which I'm looking forward to) and was reminded of the greatest description of the city I've read. It's the opening chapter in Jan Morris's spectacular Coast to Coast from 1956; I don't think it has been bettered since. Click here and judge for yourself.
Of course, you can't say the words New York without Woody Allen (am I the only one immune to the man's charms?) springing to mind, so perhaps that was something of a catalyst for Sunday's Young Hearts Run Free event in the Unitarian Church in Dublin. The subject is When Only Words Can Describe: New York Jewishness/Regret, and among those taking to the podium will be Ivana Bacik, Adrian Crowley, Maeve Higgins and DBC Pierre, with some musical interludes by Katie Kim and David Kitt. It's at 3pm and all proceeds will go to the Simon Community.
Go: Africa Day seems to have not taken its name too seriously, and there are a whole host of events on over the next week or so, starting tomorrow. There are too many to list here, so here are just a handful. There's an interview in Imma tomorrow with Yacouba Konate, curator, critic and professor at the University of Cocody in Abidjan, Ivory Coast on the Romuald Hazoume exhibition; Dublin Zoo is transforming itself into an African Plain on Saturday; and in Galway, Nun's Island Arts Theatre is screening a shelfload of African films. For much more, click here.
Learn: The Dublin Writers Festival (shouldn't that name have a possessive apostrophe somewhere) kicks off this weekend and although the main events don't really get into gear until Monday – when Louise Welsh, John Burnside, Richard Holloway, Kevin MacNeil, Donny O'Rourke and Dave Whyte get to grips with man's duality in a Jekyll and Hyde themed reading – Filmbase is jumping the gun. From Saturday, it will be hosting the Sky Arts Den, providing an area to take a break in between traipsing from event to event. It will also be hosting workshops. On Saturday there will be jazz and blues with the Nigel Mooney Duo, a ceramics workshop with Róisín de Buitléar, and Comedic Opera with Opera PlayHouse. Click here for further details.
Dance: Finally, throughout the weekend De Stilte will be bringing their specialist brand of Madcap to the Ark in Dublin's Temple Bar. Part of the Dublin Dance Festival, the show builds up a farm-like world with simple objects and exuberant choreography, with dancers Leonor Carneiro, Katarzyna Korc and Camille Pidou, and should charm adults and children aged four and upwards. It's at the Ark on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. You can get more information here and here's a video to get your inner dancing child moving.

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles Review
The Darkside Chronicles lacks the sophistication of the recent Dead Space: Extraction, but it more than makes up for it by bewitching you with nostalgia.
Remember when the licker first tried to eat Leon's face in Raccoon City Police Department? That's in The Darkside Chronicles. Remember when the giant crocodile tried to bite Claire's head off in the sewers? That's in The Darkside Chronicles. Remember those tentacles on the train? You know… those tentacles? They're in too. You get the idea.
It's a Resident Evil fan's wet dream, an on-rails trip down zombie lane, taking in some of the bets bits from cult classic Resident Evil 2 and Dreamcast stunner Resident Evil: Code Veronica. But the old is permeated by the new: Capcom has crafted a brand new campaign set just before Resident Evil 4, called Operation Javier, which sees Leon and muscle-bound marine Jack Krauser fighting off hundreds of disgusting beasties in South America. All three campaigns combine to magically fuse the past with the present.
It's one hell of a thrill to see Raccoon City, Rockfort Island and all those memorable locales from yesteryear live again on the Wii. Buildings, rooms, and even paintings are faithfully recreated. Cutscenes contain new dialogue, but the trademark B-movie cheese is no less enjoyable. Boss fights with William Birkin, Mr. X, and Alexia Ashford will have you dusting off your PlayStations and logging on to YouTube. Resident Evil 2 was a seminal game for so many, a gargantuan epic as gorgeous as it was engrossing. It didn't just capture the Zeitgeist of the time; it was the confident standard-bearer for Sony's new PlayStation and all the 3D wonderment it brought to CRT televisions across the world. Playing The Darkside Chronicles with a fellow Resi fan is like reminiscing over the 1998 World Cup down the pub.
Newcomers, though, perhaps those who began their Biohazard love affair with Resident Evil 4 on the GameCube or, even more scandalous, The Darkside Chronicles' predecessor (last year's fellow Wii point-and-shooter The Umbrella Chronicles), will be glad to hear that it's a polished, action-packed romp let down only by occasional frustration.
It builds and improves upon its forebear in a number of crucial ways. Chief among these is the more intuitive controls. Weapons, including the infinite ammo handgun, can now be mapped to the Wii Remote d-pad, or, even better, to the Nunchuck analogue stick. This allows weapon switching as swiftly as your mind can process the command. Herbs are assigned to the + button, ensuring heals can be triggered without having to pause the action and head into the menus. Both changes are welcome, as you're now free to concentrate on the business at hand: pointing at the television screen with the Wii Remote and making guns go bang.
The graphics are better, too. The Umbrella Chronicles was no slouch, but The Darkside Chronicles offers some of the best visuals seen on Nintendo's power-poor console. The lighting is superb, the virus-riddled monsters are eye-catching and the environments are packed with detail. The Operation Javier levels are best, though. They're so good, there's even a whiff of Resi 5 to them. One moment in particular, towards the end of the game, treats you to a vista of the South American countryside so stunning you'll check you're playing on the Wii and not on the Xbox 360 or the PS3.
Other changes are less successful. Japanese developer Cavia has wrestled camera control away from the player and forced it into the hands of a Cloverfield-obsessed film studies student. The result is an on-rails journey that occasionally veers into motion-sickness hell. The camera shakes and jerks and flies about so violently, you're forced to wonder whether Claire or Leon might be having a fit.
At first it's excruciatingly annoying. You'll struggle to land a single shot on even the most lackadaisical of zombies. The first hour of the game is an exercise in keeping yourself from hurling the Wii Remote and Nunchuck at your television in a crazed rage quit. But after a few hours you start to get used to it. You might even get to the point where you'll revel in it, and feel impressed by your own ability to land a headshot as the camera goes mental.

(Ehrenberg) Compère 1982 Category: Centric
BASIONYM: Biddulphia laevis Ehrenberg 1843
SYNONYM(S): Cerataulus laevis (Ehrenberg) Ralfs in Pritchard 1861
Contributor: Pat Kociolek - March 2011
Diameter: 65–120 µm
Rows of areolae in 10 µm: 12-13 at the margin of valve
Valves circular to elliptical. The valve face is slightly hemispherical. Two ocelli are present, positioned opposite one another, composed of fine rows of porelli. The ocelli are not the same size; one is much larger than the other. Two-three rimoportulae are present, each with a small, hyaline area surrounding the opening. Striae are radiate and number 12-13 in 10 μm at margin of valve face. Areolae are in short radial rows at the valve margin, irregularly arranged in central part of valve. Areola density is 12-18 in 10 μm. Spinules are present across valve face and at the margin.
Living cells are joined in zig-zag chains, with cells attached to one another by mucilage at the opposing cell's ocelli.
Kociolek et al. (1983) reported this species from inland habitats in Ohio, and a related species was recently described from India (Karthick and Kociolek 2011). Images from Krammer and Lange-Bertalot (1991) are more similar to those depicted here (from California) than the images from Kociolek et al. More research is needed to clarify the relationships of these populations.

great , now donate some n9's to cynaogen and make sure cm9 works on it
3. monoceros (Posts: 1; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
PLEASE BE ACCURATE. Nokia N9 gives already root access to its users. Inception tool "simply" remove some security restriction in nokia-aegis components. It's not a root and it's not an exploit.
Infact, to install Inception package you need to be root in N9 terminal using "devel-su" command.

waiting for nitdroid to release the fixed version of ics for n9
5. flopjoke (Posts: 42; Member since: 05 Jan 2012)
I don't think waiting for N9 v2 will prove to be helpful, right? I should just buy this amazing thing and hack the heck out of it.

The University of Wyoming will recognize a limited number of Wyoming's top resident graduating seniors for their academic achievement as recipients of the highly competitive Trustees' Scholars Award. Recipients are evaluated on their academic excellence (high school GPA, test scores, and curriculum rigor). The Trustees' Scholars award, when combined with the Hathaway Honors award, provides the equivalent cost of tuition and mandatory fees (for actual credit hours taken per semester, excluding summer sessions), room and meals.*
*Details provided in the award letter
Consideration for the Trustees' Award is given to those who have submitted a complete admissions application (application, non-refundable $40 application fee, official transcripts, and ACT/SAT test scores) which must be received by the UW Admissions Office on or before December 1. Awardees will be notified on or around February 1.
To be considered for the Trustees' Scholars Award, the UW Admissions Office must have the following on or before December 1:
- Application for admission and the non-refundable $40 admission application fee
- Official high school transcripts
- Official ACT/SAT test scores
Students selected to receive the Trustees' Scholars Award must confirm their enrollment at UW by May 1, 11:59 pm MDT.
Initial Eligibility and Scholarship Compliance
- The Trustees' Scholars Award is only available to first-time, entering resident freshmen seeking their first bachelor's degree.
- This scholarship is renewable for up to 8 semesters (4 academic years) or up to the first bachelor's degree whichever comes first.

Muscleman Pal was out that day for his practice but before that we had the chance to talk and take some photos of him. As soon as he pull down his shorts, his cock got my attention because it was so hairy like he never shaved and I am right since he wants to preserve his masculine features. We have known too that if he is not around with his soccer team, you can find him at the gym lifting weights! Look for more hot musclemen only at BadPuppy.com
