What is the chance of passage of CCW in Maryland this year? Are the odds any better or worse than last year?

PM sent.....

I for one am hoping to organize a lot of people to help us lobby for CCW reform in MD. Spot77 and others met last Thursday at Arundel Mills to discuss strategies, I was unable to attend. Hopefully he can comment.
Next Tues we're having a meeting with the Montgomery Citizens for a Safer Maryland. I posted the directions on my weblog, which I encourage you to check out. www.progunprogressive.com. It's about reforming CCW laws in general, but is Maryland specific.
Winning in MD is crucial to preserving gun rights elsewhere, in my not so humble opinion. :)
December 10, 2005, 12:49 PM
The Arundel Mills thing was just a social get together....but as can be expected the conversation will always venture into the state of affairs.
The general gist of things for this year is to expect no direct push for CCW but to likewise expect no anti laws to be pitched either.
Simply put, it's an election year and neither side wants the baggage associated with big gun bills.
Ceasefire MD is in turmoil with Leah gone, Neil Quinter is facing opposition in District 13 (Rick Bowers is the guy's name....seems like a good candidate) and with the increasing activism of MD shooters we could make it very tough for elected officials running for re-election who are on record as anti gun.
Let's start laying the groundwork for moving towards CCW.....incrementalism worked pretty well in stripping us of our rights and it will be necessary to reclaim them.

I predict we see at least :what: three bills this year on the anti-gun-owner front:
1) A bill to "fix" the "integrated mechanical safety device" law by banning the Bursalock/Interlock-types of chamber locks, so that only the Taurus/S&W/HK-type frame locks are legal. There was much whining from the Cease-Ownership crowd this past summer because the Handgun Roster Board approved the Intralock-type locks as being "built into the firearm" when used.
2) Another "Assault Weapons" bill. This is a no-brainer because both Duncan and O'Malley pushed hard for this over the past few years. Now is their chance to "take a stand against crime":rolleyes: and try to get Ehrlich on the spot. This is their default "wedge issue."
3) The following bill:
Garagiola bill would set firearm penalties
Friday, Dec. 9, 2005
Commit a crime with certain types of firearms, and judges must impose mandatory five-year sentences. Commit crimes with other kinds of firearms, and judges have discretion on prison terms.
Sen. Robert J. Garagiola has proposed setting mandatory minimum penalties for convictions in crimes committed with any kind of firearm as a disincentive to using firearms in crimes.
''I don't know why there's a disparity," said Garagiola (D-Dist. 15) of Germantown. ''Why can someone use an AK-47 or a shotgun and not have mandatory minimum sentence?"
James M. Purtilo, editor of the gun rights newsletter The Tripwire, said the state last enhanced penalties for crimes committed with firearms in 1996. Criminals have not yet served the time from those sentence enhancements, he said.
''There's no public policy need," Purtilo said.
And there is no evidence that judges are imposing light sentences to defendants who commit crimes with long guns, he said.
''It's really a feel-good proposal."
Under current law, a criminal who uses a handgun or an assault pistol in the commission of a crime of violence or felony, that person faces a mandatory minimum penalty of five years in jail.
Garagiola's bill would require mandatory minimum penalties when using any firearm.
''What I'm all about is promoting public safety," Garagiola said. ''There shouldn't be any difference based on the type of weapon used."
If we only get these three bills, that would be a "success" for MD firearms owners . . . .:uhoh:
December 10, 2005, 03:18 PM
First two can easily be beaten back if we follow the same tactics as the last two years.....show up en masse at the hearings, write letters to the editor, call and write delegates and senators.
The JPR has not changed composition since last year. The AWB and the integral lock law are easily exposed for the feel good silliness that they are.
#3 is a tough call and requires someone more involved in MD politics than I to elucidate. Every year that we go to Annapolis, we bleat about "pass laws that strengthen penalties against criminals" instead of passing laws that only punish law-abiding gun owners. Isn't that what this does?
I thought that we saw that same bill last year but for the life of me can't remember what happend to it (beyond the obvious fact that it didn't pass).
Thanks for posting the article.....nothing like seeing a story about Lil' Rob (why don't you gun owners trust me?) Garagiola to make my day :barf:
December 10, 2005, 04:16 PM
Last session Garagiola proposed an "Assault Weapons penalty enhancement act" that lumped "copycat assault weapons" in with the handgun penalty enhancement. The "issue" back then was that the bill would distinguish so-called "Assault Weapons" from regular firearms, and make their use "more badder" under the law.
I wrote emails criticizing that bill because it left out all the other firearms. Robbery with a firearm is still dangerous for the victim no matter what kind of firearm is used. If Garagiola's purpose was to punish criminals using firearms, why was he leaving 96% of them out of his bill?
I guess I really shouldn't have a problem with #3, but any gun bill let loose on the MD legislative floors scares me with what it could become.:what: :eek:
December 10, 2005, 05:49 PM
I guess I really shouldn't have a problem with #3, but any gun bill let loose on the MD legislative floors scares me with what it could become.:what: :eek:
Exactly....who knows what it could be Christmas tree-ed into.
Besides, I don't think we need to accept anything being crammed down our faces that we don't want. I know I'm being naive, but with the results and showing we've made for the last two years I think that we can make legitimate change for the better here as long as the national scene doesn't collapse around us.
Thanks for the refresher on last year's bill....they say the memory is the second thing to go :p

Contact a gunsmith, seem the best option does is not?

You are lucky to have a light trigger pull.
My Peitta 58 target has a tougher pull then I would like.
My Pietta 1860 trigger pull is fantastic.
A new parts swap may help you. (Triggrer, hammer, sear)

The spring may be weak, I have "adjusted" some of the trigger pull on my Remy. by bending the spring a little. Best have a spare spring be for you go bending it.
I want my trigger pull at no more than 3# on a gun I plan to try to hit a target with shooting offhand.
I have a 2nd gen. Colt .45 the previous owner use to shoot crows with. The trigger pull was so light all I had to do was think "fire" and it went off, had to have the trigger pull increased a couple ounces.
August 2, 2013, 03:40 AM
Sometimes all it takes is to tighten the trigger and bolt spring screw to your liking. You can also bend the spring slightly to adjust its feel as mentioned earlier.
August 2, 2013, 04:19 AM
There is a screw on the front of the grip where your fingers are when you grip the gun. This adjusts the cocking tension. I've found with my '58 that if I have this backed off that the trigger pull is rather delicate. However, if your thumbs can handle some extra work if tighten the cocking tension it tends to stiffen the trigger pull slightly. But I must agree having a light pull is a nice thing to have a lot of the time.
I wouldn't call on a gunsmith unless absolutely nessicary, there's a lot of literature out there for one. And Two I find it a fun, inexpensive hobby to study up and learn to do things on my own. I've put my '58 through Hell and made a lot of fixes and adjustments myself just based off what I have read up on, kind of rewarding knowing you did it your self. Make some adjustments like the fella above me said, try messing with the cocking tension and try it out.
August 7, 2013, 01:51 AM
I shot mine 3 times before i tore them down to clean them and the first time i tore them down i wasnt positive i got them back together right.
On my 2 remys there is a little "spring" for the trigger. This "spring" has 2 tangs on it. If im right one tang is the take up the other is the break. Well the first time i put mine together i didnt get the takeup tang on the trigger and it was loose and flopped around but MAN the trigger was LIGHT! i mean like a hair trigger.
Then i figured out my mistake and fixed it. When both tangs are in the right position the trigger tension is like it should be.
Maybe you can try it before you go bending it try putting it together with the one tang off. DONT LOAD IT OR TRY AND FIRE IT THIS WAY. Use a rag and stuff it between the hammer and the frame and try it. I was shocked how light it gets doing this.
It may not cock correctly with the trigger flopping around im not sure thats why i wouldnt sugest trying to fire it. It seem to work on mine but it was WAY lighter then ide care to try shooting with.
August 7, 2013, 09:52 AM
Jim, did you buy your gun new or used? The reason i ask is if its used someone could have put a lighter main spring or trigger spring in your gun or altered the one in it. If it was new you may have just got one with a lighter trigger to start with.First thing i would do is put a small piece of leather in the slot where the hammer goes through the frame to keep it from ruining your nipples as you dry fire it. Lay your gun on its side on a wrag on your table top.Now watch the hammer very closely as you slowly pull the trigger to fire it(unloaded of coarse).If the hammer moves back a tiny bit as you pull the trigger then the trigger/hammer sear angles are wrong but that will make the triger pull harder.If it moves slightly forward before it releases the hammer then the angle is also off but in the opposite way and this will make the trigger pull slighter lighter but is unsafe as it can cause the gun to have accedental discharges.Bowers , above mentions the trigger/bolt spring in his gun being out of place causeing a very light pull and the trigger to flop around when the gun is not cocked. Getting that spring out of place when you put the gun back together is not uncommon.This spring is split and one leg is for the trigger and the other leg is for the cylinder bolt stop, they are not both for the trigger like he thought. Once in a while a gun will come from the factory with the trigger not hardened enough and the tip where it engages the hammer sear will round off a little bit and will cause a very light pull.If you take the trigger out and look at the tip of it real close if its right it should have nice square angles.If thats the problem the best fix for most people is to just replace it with a new one, they are not expensive.Its also possible the trigger return spring is broken, a common problem and also not expensive.Its a real good idea to keep a parts kit for your gun as there are a few small parts that are prone to break on these guns. The trigger / bolt spring, mainspring, trigger,cylinder hand/spring,the bolt, and if you buy the whole kits it usually has a new hammer in the kit too.if you do a search on the web you can find an exploded view picture that can help you with taking your gun apart and putting it back together if your not familiar with that. Its not hard after you have done it a few times and in no time you will be able to diagnose most problems you may ever have with your gun plus you really need to know how to tear it down so you can clean it inside too. I think there are some youtube videos on taking a remington apart that helps too. There is a screw that has to be takin out to remove the hammer and ratchet hand and if you dont know where to look you prolly wont ever know that screw is there.

Severely Injured by a Rival Player's Punch, Rudy Tomjanovich Enjoys An Amazing Comeback
Tomjanovich, 29, a 6'8", 220-lb. All-Star forward for the Houston Rockets, was suffering from a brain concussion, leakage of spinal fluid into the brain cavity, and fractures of the skull, jaw and nose. Rushing into an on-court fight, he ran into the full force of a punch thrown by 6'8", 230-lb. Kermit Washington, then of the Los Angeles Lakers.
The incident led to a 60-day suspension without pay and a $10,000 fine for Washington and a general crackdown on violence by National Basketball Association Commissioner Larry O'Brien. (The Rockets' $1.4 million suit against the Lakers and Tomjanovich's personal attempt to obtain compensation are still pending.)
"My face was just kind of hanging there," he remembers. "If you could have seen me, you'd know I was a human being, but I looked like a monster." ("If it wasn't for his body and voice," says Rudy's wife, Sophie, "I wouldn't have recognized him.") Now, 11 months later, the only obvious signs of the injuries are two small scars around the lips. Tomjanovich (it's pronounced tomJOHN-oh-vich, but most fans and announcers call him "Rudy T") is a monster only to the opposition. After eight games he was averaging 22.4 points, well above his eight-season career record of 18.1. "I never had a doubt about Rudy," says Rocket coach Tom Nissalke. "He's a determined guy."
Sophie wasn't so confident. "When an athlete's injured—even if it's just a bruise—they complain," she says. "When this happened I thought, 'My God, will he ever be able to play again?' " But Tomjanovich began a strict regimen of jogging, tennis and workouts at a neighborhood health club near his Houston home less than two months after he was hit.
He did not return to competition again until this summer, at the Rockets' rookie and free-agent camp. "Here were guys clawing to make the team, and I wasn't even in shape," he recalls. "But I found out what would happen when I got popped—I knew I could take it."
Tomjanovich says the only lingering effects of the injuries are some sinus discomfort and occasional facial numbness. "People see me this season and say, 'God, he must not have been hurt too bad; he's out there playing his behind off.' All the while I wasn't playing I thought about who I am. I realized how much a part of my life basketball is, and I didn't want it to end like that. There had been too much work."
The only son of a Croatian shoemaker, Tomjanovich grew up poor in Detroit, learning basketball in alley pickup games, then leading his high school team to two state championships before starring at the University of Michigan. "I'd go into a neighborhood where I might be the only white guy for five miles, just to play basketball," he says. "I've been in situations where I've had to defend myself in order to get out of a tight spot. But I don't believe in dealing with people by punching them. That should be the last resort."
Tomjanovich shrugs off any speculation about the Rockets' first game this season against San Diego—Kermit Washington's new team—on Nov. 11. "People ask me if I'll ever talk to Washington again," he says. "Well, I just play the game. I think I can shoot as good as anybody in basketball, but everybody knows me as the guy who got punched in the face. I don't want that. I want things to get back to normal."

text: Hi PB, I do Crossfit at various times during the year. I enjoy it and the motivating environment in the box, but I like more variety and as a result incorporate it into an overall year round approach to my training, that combines some months focused on bodybuilding, some months on power lifting and some months of metabolic conditioning using Crossfit. It is definitely cult like and they tend to not build enough recovery into their programming (I have a lot of injured Crossfit friends) but you are in control, so bend it to your individual needs and approach to conditioning. You can pay by the month.

As the Editor In Chief of HoenstlyWTF and HonestlyYUM, I'm constantly searching the web for interesting topics and most importantly, exceptional images. Tracking down beautiful and compelling imagery is essential to creating great content! And since I'm accustomed to using Google for most all of my online searches, I was skeptical yet curious to do a blind test to see if which search engine would actually win the Bing versus Google challenge. The test was simple as all I had to do was enter 5 search topics, pick the search results I liked best, and then wait to find out just who won the search test. I think you might be just as surprised as I was to discover the results!
1. Fishtail braids
2. Vintage classroom maps
3. DIY bracelets
4. Chocolate chip cookies recipe
5. Cloche hats
And the results? Drumroll please . . .
I noticed that not only was I opting for results that provided me with lots of images and results from a variety of sources, but I strayed away from sponsored results. I encourage you to take on the Bing It On challenge and decide for yourself which search engine you prefer!

The last ghostly notes evaporated, bare suggestions of pitch-specific wind, really. And then without pause, Jennifer Koh headed into Brahms' Violin Sonata in D minor with pianist Shai Wosner. Were they trying to establish some relationship between the Brahms and the piece before, György Kurtág's Tre Pezzi? Did they elide the works to ensure that Wednesday night's Perelman Theater audience didn't curdle the peace with applause?
A little explanation to listeners about this and other matters would have gone a long way in Koh's Philadelphia Chamber Music Society recital. The Kurtág, from 1979, was enigmatic enough; I'm afraid the rest of the program, Janácek's Violin Sonata and the Violin Sonata No. 1 of Bartók, left much of the audience in the dark. "I'll wait for you to explain what that was about," one by-no-means-unsophisticated listener said to me after the Bartók.

In the realm of public health, the "swine flu" vaccination program will stand as a major event. The present slim volume helps illuminate the whole topic, including both the medical and political aspects. The book derived from a symposium of May 1977 at the annual meeting of the American Association for the History of Medicine. The papers read there form the basis of the present text, although by no means a literal transcript. Dr June Osborne, the editor, an expert virologist and a government advisor, has an insider's view and speaks with special personal insight. But while the symposium held great interest, the publication of a book at this time appears to me premature.
There are four chapters and a lengthy appendix. The first chapter provides a brief and superficial account of the 1918 pandemic and was intended as a background to the excitement of 1976. The second chapter offers

Leukocyte adhesion deficiency type III
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency type III (LAD-III) is a form of LAD (see this term) characterized by both severe bacterial infections and a severe bleeding disorder.
LAD-III is extremely rare: only 17 patients have been reported so far.
Usually the first signs occur in infancy or early childhood. Patients present LAD-I life-threatening infections and a Glanzmann thrombasthenia-like bleeding disorder (see these terms). A lack of pus is observed in infected areas.
LAD-III is caused by mutations in the FERMT3 gene (11q13.1), which encodes kindlin-3 in hematopoietic cells. The FERMT3 mutations lead to an activation defect of all beta-integrins.
Diagnosis is based on clinical findings and complete blood counts revealing leukocytosis with neutrophilia. Platelet aggregation assays and genetic analysis confirm the diagnosis.
Differential diagnoses include LAD-I, Glanzmann thrombasthenia (see these terms), and leukemoid reaction. Antenatal diagnosis may be confirmed through biochemical or molecular analysis of chorionic villus cells.
Transmission is autosomal recessive.
Management should focus on controlling infections and includes symptomatic treatment with antibiotics and blood transfusions. Bone marrow transplantation is the only available curative treatment option.
Prognosis is poor and death occurs in early infancy if bone marrow transplantation is not performed.

Erie's military kids find their beat
The thrum of the guitar came first.
Then the back beat, a boom-boom-boom of drums that reverberated off the church pews and filled the room.
Here, with the amped guitar and the clashing cymbals, Abbie Treiber finds focus and peace.
"Music is the only thing in the world that uses all parts of the brain to make sense of what it's hearing," the 13-year-old said. "If it's music you like, all of your attention is focused on that. You don't have room for anything else."
For Abbie and her brother, 15-year-old RJ, anything else ranges from typical teenage troubles and sibling squabbles to deeper struggles that few of their friends, at least around here, truly understand. Their father, Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Rob Treiber, has been on eight deployments, most recently a 10-month mission in Afghanistan that ended in 2012.
Vinny Stefanelli, 60, an Erie native who has been driven to help people who serve, started the Military Kids Music Program, a free program aimed at giving the children of military families an outlet -- for creativity, for stress relief, for coping with grief -- and a hobby over which they could relate and bond.
Stefanelli started the program about two months ago with no financial support. It survives through support from American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars posts, local social clubs and through donations of cash and instruments. Children who stick with the program for six months get to keep the donated instruments they use.
Abbie picked up a guitar. RJ grabbed drumsticks. Neither had played before.
For about an hour and a half every Tuesday in the chapel at the Liberty Street Salvation Army, they strum and bang. They're working on "Next to Me" by Emeli Sande.
"That's what the program is all about, forgetting your problems and focusing on the music," Stefanelli said. "The world goes away."
The program is an outgrowth of Stefanelli's Music for Veterans program, started in October 2011 to help veterans cope with post-traumatic stress disorder. Stefanelli noticed that it wasn't just the veterans who were hurting.
Music, he said, "gives the kids something to help them cope with the changes in their lives," Stefanelli said. "This is going to be a tool to help them find some peace. It's self-medication without the drugs."
Rob Treiber returned from Afghanistan in December 2012, just days before Christmas. Since then, though, he and the family have been living apart -- Cyndi Treiber and the kids in Millcreek Township, Rob Treiber in Virginia, where he's stationed.
Every time he visits and has to leave again it stings, even though they know he's safe now.
"'Goodbye' is a trigger," Cyndi Treiber said.
There is a lack of understanding about post-traumatic stress disorder in general, and its effects on families and children in particular, Cyndi Treiber said. The program is a safe space that helps children make connections and learn coping skills.
When a family friend passed away recently, both reached for their instruments, Cyndi Treiber said.
"That was literally the first thing they did," she said. "Abbie went to her room with her guitar and RJ was down in the basement" drumming.
If his mom or sister forget about class on any given Tuesday, RJ reminds them. Rob Treiber left him a list of songs to learn, including "Detroit Rock City" by Kiss. Cyndi Treiber remembers RJ, a 2- or 3-year-old in the back seat of the car, kicking to the beat of that song.

So I Found Out Why I'm Supposed to be VixenChan.
Uploaded 04/13/2013
There's been a lot of buzz lately about how I'm supposed to be this new girl, VixenChan.
Vix is a good friend of mine here, and contacted me via Meebo with some interesting news. A mod (who will remain unnamed) told her the user Mizuka is incredibly jealous of her. As a result, Mizuka (someone I've never really spoken to before) has been telling my few haters that Vix and my IP addresses are the same, and therefore, we are the same person. As a result, these retards have been going after poor Vix, since they'll believe anything.
One of these morons has even gone as far as going alt-rating apeshit on Vix's first feature gallery, using massive amounts of time and energy to 1-star her feech with dozens of alts - why? Cuz she thinks Vix is me, and to this loss, I'm always worth wasting hours of time and energy.
Here's a copy of the feature comment Mizuka left for the purpose of getting the right losers going on Vix:
3:04am VixenChan: She was because Whalley kept saying I was you then Mizuka came in and said something along the lines of "well as a mod I can't give out her personal information but I can say that vixenchan is holding an old grudge with shylilazn. oops, did I say that?"
Of course, there is no way Mizuka would know either of our IP's at all. I'm not sure if Mizuka is a mod or not, but either way, the fact is a mod has no way of knowing who's alts, if any, belong to whom (this is directly from the unnamed mod). Also? A mod can't check and compare IP's unless in LiveChat...
Which means, to you retarded haters out there - Mizuka's been fucking with you for days. In fact, Vix lives in So Cal while I'm in NY.
Mizuka? I dunno what this mod knows about you that would lead him to tell Vix you're jealous of her, or why - but next time you have a problem with a user? Leave others (like me) the fuck out of it.

This product is essentially being sold as a non-prescription alternative to Latisse, the prescription-only product from Allergan that contains an active ingredient that really does make lashes longer, thicker, and darker. MultiplEYE Lash Enhancer from Tarte, on the other hand, doesn't contain anything that can help grow lashes—it's really that simple—which makes this product not worth your money or time. The company claims they're including a proprietary plant peptide to make lashes 152% longer (which would result in preposterously long lashes if it were true), but they're actually including one of the same peptides (myristoyl pentpeptide-17) that Jan Marini includes in her expensive Marini Lash product, which also doesn't work. The other ingredients in Tarte's product, such as soy protein and vitamin C, don't stand a chance of growing lashes either. There's no research proving any ingredient in this product works to grow lashes, so unless the company is using a drug ingredient and not identifying it, this isn't a product you can rely on for the kind of results that Latisse provides.

Comments about Tarte Cosmetics MultiplEYE Lash Enhancer:
in general, i'm very skeptical of lash-growth treatments, so i was very surprised to see any effect at all from this after about 2 weeks. nonetheless, i was pleased to notice that my lashes did seem to be growing quicker and longer...more so than i have with other treatments excepting perhaps NeuLash (which was slower but ultimately about equivalent in length of growth). unfortunately my lashes did not grow thicker or more densely so ultimately i may still treat my lash loss issues with Latisse

Tarte Cosmetics At-A-Glance
Strengths: Excellent foundations; great cheek stain and powder blushes; superior pressed powder and eyelining pencils; good mascaras; unique, innovative, beautiful packaging; complete ingredient lists on the company's Web site.
Weaknesses: Can be pricey.
Tarte Cosmetics CEO and founder Maureen Kelly started Tarte in 1999, out of a desire to create a cosmetics line that "would prove that glamour can be good for you." This comes in the form of products that highlight naturally-derived ingredients in their marketing campaigns, and occasionally taking swipes at the concept of synthetics in makeup.
This is ironic, as Tarte uses more than a few beneficial synthetically derived ingredients in their formulas—silicones, synthetic fragrances, preservatives and on and on. However, we'll forgive them that as what's ultimately important is whether their products meet your needs, and to that we can say the brand excels in many areas at what they do.
However, a few products are a bit on the pricey side and there are a few iffy shades and textures to consider among their foundations—noted in their respective reviews. A few caveats aside, most of Tarte's foundations, blush options, eye pencils and an ever-expanding range of innovative products demonstrate that color is what they do best.

Happy (belated) Aunt and Uncles Day
So it turns out yesterday, July 26th, was Aunt and Uncles Day.
Who knew?
While the origins of the day are difficult to ascertain the sentiment behind it is not.
Research shows us that Aunts and Uncles play a key role in the development of younger relatives but, to be honest, most of us don't need research to tell us that.
As our parents' brothers and/or sisters, Aunts and Uncles are those special people who often share many of the good traits of our parents without being constrained by the discipline of parenthood.
End Result? A funner version of our mum or dad!

INTERVIEW: Searching for Mothman, Grassman, Devil Dog on 'Mountain Monsters'
His name is John Tice, but people call him Trapper. He's a backwoods West Virginian who prefers hill people or mountain people over that other term people sometimes use. With his closest friends, Tice travels around the Appalachian region looking for evidence of mysterious, mythical creatures that have lived in the public's consciousness for generations. His group, called the Appalachian Investigators of Mysterious Sightings (AIMS), is the subject of Mountain Monsters, the new reality series on Destination America.
"I think the show was very exciting," Tice said recently during a phone interview. "You know, some family and friends were over, and we all really, really enjoyed it."
Tice's interest in these mysterious beasts, which include the Mothman, Grassman and Wampus Beast, has been with him for a number of years. He remembered when more than a decade ago his nephew documented evidence of some men in Ohio who had taken a casting of an enormous footprint. Tice's son also wrote an article for Goldenseal magazine, a West Virginia publication, that explored the legend of Ike's Tomb.
"Everybody's been visiting Ike's tomb and this part of the country for years, so we did a lot of research on Ike's tomb," he said. "And that got published in Goldenseal magazine, and so then people would just call me, you know, people that knew me would call me. And if you know hill people, word spreads pretty fast."
Tice said that many people are still apprehensive about their sightings and don't come forward to the AIMS group. "They see something and they don't really know what it is," he said. "Well, they just don't want to say anything about it, so I believe my goal personally is to give them a little peace of mind that this does exist or don't exist. We're not out there to kill anything. And we arm ourselves because we are out there, and you don't know what's going to happen. The last thing we want to do is to harm one of these creatures."
Many times Tice's team confirms that the beast is nothing more than a black angus cow on a ridge somewhere. It's not always an exciting creature at the end of the investigation. But isn't believing more fun? Aren't there lessons to be learned?
"That's what's wrong with America now. When I was a child, everyone sat on the front porch and talked all night. Usually that would lead to ghost stories or beast stories, and those stories got passed on from generation to generation. And even in the hill people anymore, it seems like they're always watching television or going to do this or going to do that. And that's kind of a thing of the past. … There was always all kinds of scary stories being told when I was a pup."
On the inaugural season of Mountain Monsters, the team explores such legends as the Mothman, Wolfman and Devil Dog. The Mothman, in particular, is one mystery that Tice said is absolutely true. "Oh, yeah, I definitely believe in the Mothman," he said. "No ands or buts about it."
At a recent get-together of local folk singers, a man went up to Tice and told him about three pipe-fitters who said they saw the creature land on top of a tower. The sighting was located near Point Pleasant, W.V., where the legend of the Mothman has its strongest connections.
Another mystery is that enormous casting from a sasquatch-like beast in Ohio. Tice said the footprint was 16-17 inches long and 6-7 inches wide. "That's the way I remember it," he added.
According to the AIMS leader, the presence of these beasts in the Appalachian region is tied to the changing habitats in the local area. Today's West Virginia is quite different than the West Virginia of his childhood.
"I was raised on a little creek in West Virginia called Sugar Creek," he said. "When I was a young man in my childhood the length of that creek in Pleasants County was probably less than 7 or 8 miles long. And there was probably … 300 head of cattle on Sugar Creek back then. Today's there's like 15 head."
The reduction in cattle, Tice said, is because "we're giving these creatures a lot more territory."
He offered a deer hunting example: "In the 1960s, when there was no deer, you couldn't find a place to park along the road on Sugar Creek in deer season, there were so many deer hunters. Today, you might see a couple vehicles. … So there's no one out there anymore. We're creating an existence for them better than they've ever seen before. And I have a few theories. You know, I think they migrate south, these creatures do. They work their way south if we have a bad winter. A few things over the last 40-50 years that we didn't have when I was young: we didn't have coyotes; we didn't have bobcats; we didn't have turkeys; we didn't have otters; we didn't have beaver; we didn't have mountain lion; we didn't have painted turtle; we didn't have bear here. So predators are moving in. Things that have disappeared here in those 50 years, the bobwhite quail, the predators have wiped them out. … The grouse are already gone. The groundhogs or woodchucks are virtually gone. So out there is changing and maybe in another 50 years it'll change different."
In Tice's estimation, a creature can run up to 100,000 acres without being seen. This makes AIMS' mission quite difficult, but this West Virginia woodsman relies on a few assumptions. First, look for a food source. Second, they need to eventually copulate. Third, consider cameras and cell phones. Even though Tice doesn't carry a cell phone, his investigations usually begin with amateur videos from the woods.
"To hunt these creatures, you have to be an experienced woodsman," he said. "You have to be an experienced outdoorsman — many, many hours and days in the woods."
He added: "Even in Vietnam, when I was a young man, if leaves were turned wrong or something wasn't just right, I would see it before something happened."
Tice surrounds himself with friends, all of whom have become characters on Destination America's Mountain Monsters. There's Willie, Huckleberry, Jeff and Buck, the new member in the group. "That's been one of the joys of the team is Buck," Tice said. "He's a hoot, he is. What a good guy. Now he's kind of a skeptic. … Every time we go on, Buck always questions me. You know, young people, I get a real kick out of them anyway. I've been out there for 50 years. Buck's been out there for a year, and he knows more than I do."
When Tice travels around the region, he feels comfortable talking to local residents. "You know hill people or mountain people — I don't like to call us hillbillies — it's pretty easy for me to talk to them," he said. "You know, you could have a suit walk up on their porch, and you might get a shotgun stuck in your face. But heck I could just walk up and talk to anyone on anyone's porch and have a cup of coffee. We'll just sit down there, and in five minutes, I have them at ease."
Still, Tice knows there's an unfortunate stereotype of people who live in West Virginia.
"Well, I don't think they teach geography anymore because the damn most of them thinks we're still western Virginia," he said with a laugh. "West Virginians are just some of the greatest people in the world. Hell, when you drive out the road, everyone waves at you. You run into a ditch, they'll be 10 cars stopped to pull you out. … We help one another, and that's our roots. It's a great place to live. It's just a great state."

I was quite disappointed in "Mountain Monsters". It was a trainwreck, they came off as a bunch of goofy hillbillies running through the woods, tripping on their own feet, and falling on their own guns. When they said "Don't do this at home", they weren't kidding. I'm surprised they didn't wind up shooting each other in the dark. As far as the "wolfman pawprints", they looked like they were cut out of wood and completely fake. It was entertaining, but not in a serious manner. I will still watch it, but I view it as a comedy.
I couldnt agree with you more. Any fool could see that this show is as fake as they come. It does it have one thing going for it though. Watching these bumbling idiots stumbling through the woods is funny as hell!
I am from West Virginia, and I watch for pure entertainment. It doesn't bode well for Willy's Trapping business. What I love most is that I live 1,000 miles from home so seeing areas make me homesick and Nostalgic. I will say if you listen to Jeff, Willy, Buck and Trapper, they don't come off as your typical mountain folk. There is certainly intelligence, that I truly believe they hide for the show. To me that's what I don't like. But, as far as the entertainment value, I laugh out loud at the stupid antics…purely fiction but entertainment nonetheless.
THIS BY FAR IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON TV RIGHT NOW but I REALLY WISH SOMEONE SOMEWHERE DEAD OR ALIVE WOULD GET A BIGFOOT TO PROVE TO THE WORLD THAT THEY DO EXSIST EVERYWHERE NOT JUST IN APPAL!!!
I couldn't agree with you more Daniel. I believe this is the funniest show on TV. I tape every show and I watch the shows every chance I get. Thank you AIMS and Destination America.
There are so many mistakes,it's like a sit-com. These people couldn't catch a cold. The photo "evidence" looks airbrushed, their guns are never cocked when challenged by a "monster", when they caught the pig and it was breaking out of the back of the trailer the cameraman only filmed the actors and not the pig. Trapper's vocabulary consists of 105 words and 98 of them are sob. "wild Bill" plays to the camera more than the rest combined and a Marine would not run off and leave the squad down a man.
Fake paw prints? The paw prints are real, just since you are watching on a flat screen they look cookie-cutter. Try watching it on a different TV (NOT a flatscreen), because they aren't made out of wood.
I loved it. It is not easy navigating in the woods let alone at night. I love the people. I love the show.
Huckleberry for President!!!
better than the choices we got now. lol.
I am sorry but this is all fake, I would love to see real hunters, using real hunting and trapping skills. The traps they set are Hollywood traps, from movies like predator. The evidence they find is all planted. It also does even follow logic, the "wampus" was suppose to in a matter of minutes carry off three 50lb baby pigs. The Wampus is suppose to be a large predator cat, even if it was as big as a tiger, how does it carry off 3 pigs? One in the mouth and two in its hands? Also the killed pig with its guts out didn't look like a pig torn apart by a big cat.
These guys don't even have decent hunting equipment if your going to run around at night in the woods here is an idea, mount a flashlight on them rifles and shotguns. Also how about a pack of hunting dogs. I know dogs that can track and tree panthers, why not use them? This show is depending on everyone just pretending it is all real, but none of it is. I believe there are still undiscovered animals and creatures, but this show is just fantasy.
"Mothman". Plus side: their special effects crew did a good job simulating what appeared to be an Eagle flying alongside the car then turning to be crashed into the windshield. Yes, Eagles will fly that low. I have seen several "road kills" of Golden Eagles here in the Southwest.
The Red Eye is not unusual. Consider this: On your photo shop program you do have a function to remove the "red eye" from photographs taken with a flash camera. Bright lights often reflect as red from various animals.
Big goof up: The experience of the women took place in 1960. The producers used a proper vintage car and actresses of the right age. BUT, the soldier was NOT in the correct uniform or carrying the correct rifle for that period. I know as I used to be a tank crewman in those days. Instead of modern camo he should have been in forest green Class "D" fatigues with a Ridgeway cap or M-1 "Steel Pot" helmet. Since M-16 rifles were not adopted yet, his weapon should have been an M-1 Garand or an M-1 Carbine with appropiate ammo belts with canteen, Carlyle bandage pouch and maybe a bayonet.
"Grassman". That single photo is NOT convincing to me. It looks like some guy in a "Gilli" camo suit. If it was not the show's producer trying to find a way of not getting fired, then it could have been a Poacher. Info as to whether these sightings were made during "OFF SEASON" hunting would certainly suspect a Poacher trying to make himself invisible to Game Wardens.
Any episode. I really like that Marine. He's in terrific shape, well groomed, a good pole climber and a good sense of humor. But if these creatures are so dangerous, why is he carrying a standard hunting rifle or shotgun instead of an M-14 with selective fire.
Oh, can't do that in California though. Not allowed more than 10 rounds in a magazine though the Wampus beast, Wolfman or Bigfoot would require all 30 from an M-1A to bring it down.
It's about time we got some men with a set of #$@@^,at least they see thing's and try to capture them. Keep on keeping on Men.
I grew up in eastern Ky. Many a night we would see and hear unusual and downright frightening animals,that did not fit the description of normal. I enjoy the show it takes me back to a simpler life I left.
I am a very experienced hunter/Trapper. So I can say: "this show is a Joke"! Only people with very low IQ's believe this show and what they present as evidence is real. It is entertaining and funny, but so was the "3 Stooges".
I LOVE the show. I grew up in the country and spent a lot of time in the woods and the show is accurately done. I love how it has so many interviews with witnesses, photos, and video images and actually captures sounds on their investigations. Very well done. It's childish to laugh and poke fun at others, in order to seem more important. That ploy has the opposite effect on me, when I see someone doing it.
Hey….Get your a$$ outside in any wóods at night time for a few hours. Whether or not the show is real, new life is found every day. Most of them took millions of years to find. Get a brain, balls and common logic mix it in a blender, freeze it, then sit on it until it all soaks in!! Go and rant about something else. If you ACTUALLY hate the show than how do you know sooo much about it??? Dumb@$$. Like Trapper says, sob.
Love this dag gon show! I'm a profiler and I can tell you that some actions cannot be faked. Some of they're visceral reactios are true. It cannot be faked. I'm saying some, not all. Even if there was someone out in the woods that you don't know they're there, and they make some noise or play a recording over a good speaker,you would $&!# your pants. They just jump and cuss. Keep up the good work ol' boys!!
I totally agree with Rick, some of those reactions just can't be faked. I truly enjoy this show and love those 6 men! It's entertaining, gives a bit of history and keeps me wondering each week if they'll ever get anything in their traps! Compared to other things on television now I'll take Mountain Monsters any day of the week!
Aloha from Hawaii to Buck, Huckleberry, Wild Bill, Willy, Jeff and Trapper!! Also best wishes to Trapper for a speedy recovery – we hope to see you soon!!
Ought to rename the program the 6 Stooges without Shimp.
Funniest show since The Three Stooges an Benny Hill. Now we have The 5 stooges n Crazy Bill!!!!
I like the show. I find it a refreshing contrast to Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot. At least these guys have sense enough to carry guns for self defense, and traps to try to actually capture one of the creatures that they are pursuing. Animal Planet's Bigfoot hunters should be as pragmatic. Another thing that Mr. Tice is absolutely correct about is the increasing amount of wilderness in parts of the eastern half of America as opposed to the progressive loss of habitat in the west to development, logging, etc. It is also a heck of a lot easier to see wildlife in a deciduous forest after the leaves fall than in a conifer forest like we have here in the Pacific Northwest (I livein Washington state).
Being from Pleasants County…I know several of these men. Keep it up, boys!
The doubters on here should walk Bonds Creek in Ritchie Co. WV late at night then they might believe in woods creatures.Itll change your mind.
Yes it changed mine. We were camped out on Oil Ridge in Ritchie County first week of squirrel season and 4:00 in the morning just above us was a scream and a hoop that scared the living day lights out of me. Was not a owl or bobcat or fox or coyote or anything ever heard in the wood ever. My husband has hunted and lived in the mountains for over 60 yrs and it totally rattled him. What's really funny is I was watching the Yahoo episode with my grand kids and about crapped my pants when I heard the scream on there. It sounded just like what we heard in Ritchie County.
Glad to hear it. Maybe you should contact them to come investigate in that area!
A person I heard of(Obammer) quoted: "Stupid is as stupid does!"
I know a couple of these guys and I'm sure they see it as more fun than truth. Not always though. Mothman has a lot of witnesses over time of many very strange events by credible people. Hadn't talked to them much about it except joking about them being "TV stars" now, hehe.
One poster talked about horrible sounds he never heard. I live in these areas and I find it amazing how people and their families who have lived with this stuff for generations don't know what it is, or what half the animals are, yet a half city boy from somewhere else can find out right off. Seems they don't care about books, recordings, videos, etc. to find out and rely on casual gossip if not just ignore it. I have recordings that would make you turn white as a ghost and local "outdoorsmen" dont know what it is yet they are common animals like bobcats, foxes, coyotes, racoons.
On the other hand I know Ritchie County WV fairly well, which is right beside pleasants county btw, and few could relate to places in WV and some other places til they stood there. Ritchie county is where "real WV" begins and you can stand right on the main US highway and lookout and see no evidence of man "forever." You could easily get lost a die and people do. It gets even wilder from there. When you stand there and see it for yourself you realize that not only is there places where man has never stepped foot but there can be creatures man is unaware of in those areas. As for "mythical monsters" I have my doubts.
I am moving to W.V soon too bad I am to old. I would laugh all the way to the bank,like
they do.
wouldn't you think they would put a camera at their trap?
I love this show, even though it may not be 100% correct, it is still entertainment, what TV is supposed to be.
I am a college educated and I know you just cannot go through this life without thinking that their are some natural mysteries still left in this world. Because we are instantly connected to the internet we as a society automatically think we know everything. But as an educated person I can tell you we don't know everything their is to know about the mysteries of nature. I grew in Southwestern VA. and I am also an experienced hunter/outdoors man and I have heard and seen things in the woods that I still cannot explain. Mountain Monsters try to explain some of these mountain myths and legends with a mixture of myth, legend, and a dose of Hollywood thrown in. They make it fun to wonder what is in the woods of the Appalachian Mountains and maybe just maybe make people interested in learning about their surrounding communities in the Appalachians. So those of you that think you know everything get over yourselves and turn the channel if you don't want to watch Mountain Monsters. Us fellow hill people just go along with it because we know their things that go bump in the night in the dark and spooky mountains. They are not the oldest mountain ranges in the world for nothing think on it and try to learn something that doesn't come from the internet for a change.
I would like to comment to the A.I.M.S. team. Watching the episode where they catch the "Chucacabra" in their trap, only to lose it to a possible "Bigfoot". I slowed down the video footage when the Chucacabra jumps on the back of their quadra-trac, the face of some beast is visible for a second. If it was fake, it was a good one. My second observation was on the episode where the lady calls and leaves a note to "Not go beyond the pond". What was particularly interesting was the phone video of Farmer "John" of his tree knocks, receiving a knock in return on his second try, but watch very closely when he does it the third time and they hear the roar of a bigfoot. Slow the footage down, and you see after the second series of knocks and they get the return knock, the camera pans to the left and you see two trees or large branches and nothing visible between them. Watch in slow motion the panning left of the camera after the roar, and you will see, in high contrast the image of what appears to be an apelike head. It is not fully visible but you see what appears to be lips, nose, side of head and an eye between the two trees/branches where nothing appeared earlier. It happened so fast I do not know if it was seen at the time it was viewed in the field or during post production. I recommend everyone examine this split second of film and tell me it might not be exactly what they say it is. I am a retired engineer and generally do not believe, but this gives me second thoughts. I would like to hear others comments on what I saw. I would love to hear from A.I.M.S. regarding if they saw this examining the video.
I love this show.I just wish they didn't yell so much.
hey if yall are there im am so scared right now we have actualy seen a big foot in our back yard but we thing it might be a grafton monster the way it was shaped i need trapper now
They need to assist the other Bigfoot show with Matt Moneymaker. He can't seem to find anything all of these seasons!
I just recently found Mountain Monsters and I love it….I don't know if I believe it all but I do enjoy watching. I know that there are shows out there that are so far out there and you just know that they are more for ratings and not for the real thing. I have really enjoyed this show and hope it continues for years. I am not college educated but I can write like one. But I agree with you about people needing to get out and see what is in the world, and not by computer. And AIMS team keep on hunting…
What you actually saw was Buck in the bushes pounding down a Domino's pizza supposedly off camera. hoo-rah
Wild Bill lives!
-I really don't care if they're chasing shadows I just enjoy the show.it reminds me of all the time I spent in the woods as a kid.we used to chase monsters we were sure were real too.if you read the credits you'll know it's not real.doesn't mean we can't suspend disbelief for an hour.if the rest of us took ourselves as seriously as these guys do the world would be much more enjoyable.
people its endearment if you don't like it don't watch it come on there fun to watch
The trapper says it's real I believe him
I grew up in Ohio and used to visit West Virginia quite regularly as we had family there. Great-Aunt Thelma Harr and them in Fairmont so I know something about Mountain People. Hell, I still AM Mountain People at heart and I knew plenty like these guys. Here's a couple of points I offer for consideration:
Willy's Traps: Someone said they were "Hollywood" like "Predator" and similar movies. Not quite. They're all quite real and have been used with great success in different parts of the world. You can find diagrams, etc by looking on-line. Here, for example: https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=box+traps&FORM=HDRSC2 and for water traps: https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=otter+traps&FORM=HDRSC2
Cage Traps https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=cage+traps&FORM=HDRSC2 and so on.
Remember they want to capture (not kill) what they're after. They don't use dogs because dogs will attack what they chase after and if you keep them on a leash so they can't their baying and barking will mean that your quarry will be in the next county before they could ever get near it.
Besides all that half the fun is in just getting out in the woods at night and chasing around after the critter. That's what I enjoy about the show. I really hope they never catch Bigfoot or any of the others. It's the Mystery of what MIGHT be out there that keeps me coming back.
Geez…..after reading this, its no wonder. It really isn't any wonder this country has gone to the dogs. Nothing about this show is real. It is a semi scripted monster hunting show that uses non actors in the cheap so the producers can sell to network for big money and they don't have to pay for real actors. They are doing great and I hope they make a mint but these guys are not representative of most West Virginians in the way they conduct themselves.
I have watched Mountain monsters since it started and I love it. I don't for a minute believe any of it but I watch TV to be entertained and it is definitely entertaining. That being said I have heard of most of the things they go after. I have lived in the hills of East Tennessee all my life and there are some strange things around here but the sun will come up in the west before AIMS catches anything. Totally fake but a real hoot to watch.
I love this show. I live in Texas and the state does have its own mysteries to solve. I hope trapper is doing better from his surgery . As far as the boys your a hoot and I laugh for an hour and wonder if those monsters really do excist. I notice little flaws here and there but that's ok, just shoot every once in a while to make it more thrilling. God bless each and everyone of you. See you Saturday nights
wild bill for prez?????????i don't think so…remember wild bill ain't safe with a yo=yo.lol….can't use buck..the national deficit would triple trying to feed him…..trapper to old…..so that leaves us jeff or willie for president!!!!!!!!!!!! lol.
Why is it so hard for people to believe these creatures may exist? Wether you believe in these creatures or not you have to admit that our world has numerous mysteries. Consider this, since the arrival of Google Earth researchers are discovering things that are only visible from the air yet they are over 3000+ years old. The mystery is who were these meant for? So back to my first question why is it so hard to believe that these creatures may exist? I believe these creatures do exist. I believe this is another mystery that is yet to be fully unveiled. It's a bit of an unsettling thought to believe to be honest but I enjoy watching the show because these men believe they will uncover the truth and they might just do it!

Among the most heart-wrenching, deeply troubling stories in the news last week was that of a 12-year-old Florida girl who committed suicide after being bullied for nearly a year.
Investigators are looking into whether charges can be filed against some of the 15 or so girls who ganged up on Rebecca Ann Sedwick, probably goading her into killing herself. Let's hope charges come. In spades. Cyber fingerprints are very traceable.
The victim's diary and computer are full of evidence of mind-numbing cruelty by the other girls. Some urged her to commit suicide. And it's not just Facebook. The final cyberbullying that tormented Rebecca - who felt she was overweight, according to reports - came not through Facebook, after her mother deactivated the account, but via social media messaging and photo apps available on smart phones. Computer search records revealed that she had been looking for ways to commit suicide on the net prior to her death. She chose jumping to her death from a tower at an abandoned cement factory. Could you even begin to imagine the frame of mind - the bad mental way - that she must have been in to scale a tower and then jump? What were her final thoughts? Think of the agony her family is going through after burying her on Monday.
In December, Rebecca was hospitalized for three days after cutting her wrists. At the time, she said she did so because of bullying. So pervasive was the harassment at her middle school that finally her mother withdrew her and began home-schooling the girl. Despite her leaving school, the relentless bullies did not stop.
The enormous amount of bullying the poor girl suffered - and the sometimes public manner in which it was delivered - poses a question: How was it that no one did anything effective to stop the harassment? Most school systems have anti-bullying programs and policies. Almost undoubtedly, so did the district in which Rebecca attended school.
We ran a letter to the editor this past Sunday from a 2013 Salem High graduate. It was poignant and a real heart-tugger. Read it. If you aren't touched, frankly, something is wrong. The young letter writer, Heather McClaskey, has Asperger's Syndrome. It is a form of autism.
Heather approached our newsroom last spring. She wants to write. We are working with her and offering encouragement. Once you peel back the layers of timidness and awkwardness, you are presented with an engaging and likeable young person. We are happy to have made her acquaintance. We want to help her cultivate self-confidence and not flinch when it comes to looking someone squarely in the eye.
In the letter to the editor she relates the trials and tribulations she confronted during her time coming up through the Salem Schools. Her peers - not all, but some which sadly is way more than enough - brutalized her. Absolute bullying. She admits to having considered suicide. It was heartening for Heather to stress that the Salem teachers, counselors and administrators were always good to her. That is how it should be in any school district. Hers isn't an isolated incident. And anybody believing otherwise is either incredibly naive, blind, deaf or just plain ignorant of what goes on within the daily lives of our young. The evolution of social networking has provided a platform for bullying unlike anything ever seen by past generations. It can be a tool for criminals. Which are what bullies are.
Our area hasn't seen an extreme grave consequence of bullying such as that of Rebecca Ann Sedwick. That precious little girl is dead, a victim of vicious bullies who had to have known the danger in what they were doing.
Again, how could it have happened? Administrators and teachers in local school districts should think about that, and about whether anti-bullying programs in this area really are effective. Vigilance is paramount. We don't want a dead child to be our wake-up call that we aren't doing enough.

An American businessman has reportedly conducted his own experiments in artificially changing our climate. It would seem a conversation about the ethics of such an act are overdue.
An American businessman has undertaken an unlawful geoengineering experiment, The Guardian reported this week, dumping around 100 tonnes of iron sulphate into the Pacific Ocean off Canada.
The idea is that iron sulphate feeds plankton, which absorbs carbon dioxide as it grows, and then the plankton dies and sinks to the bottom of the ocean locking that carbon away. On a much larger scale, the idea has been proposed to suck carbon dioxide out of the ocean and, indirectly, the atmosphere, thereby slowing or preventing climate change.
The Guardian says the "controversial" Russ George hopes to make his fortune by using the technique to gain carbon credits, which he could sell on the international market.
George is enthusiastic about his project, "We've gathered data targeting all the possible fears that have been raised [about ocean fertilisation]," he said. "And the news is good news, all around, for the planet."
But the Guardian notes that his actions violate two United Nations moratoria on geoengineering experiments. No one knows quite the effect that a massive bloom of plankton will have on the world's oceans, and no one wants to wreck them in pursuit of a solution for another man-made planetary problem.
The actions of Russ George weirdly echo the plotline of the ABC's Bluebird, an interactive story in which the villain of the story, a businessman, seeks to artificially change the climate of the planet for his own benefit.
Indeed the prospect was flagged by Foreign Affairs magazine back in 2009. An article by David Victor and others said, "Although it may sound like the stuff of a future James Bond movie, private-sector geoengineers might very well attempt to deploy affordable geoengineering schemes on their own."
The option remains open for individual nations, too.
Victor and colleagues write, "A single country could deploy geoengineering systems from its own territory without consulting the rest of the planet."
And as international action on climate change dithers, falters, and descends into stand-off, the attractiveness of geoengineering schemes to the nations most at threat from climate change increases.
"At some point in the near future, it is conceivable that a nation that has not done enough to confront climate change will conclude that global warming has become so harmful to its interests that it should unilaterally engage in geoengineering," says the Foreign Affairs article.
It is not a stretch to imagine low-lying island nations like the Maldives or Tuvalu stockpiling sulphur in preparation for spraying into the atmosphere to prevent so much sunlight warming the earth.
Indeed, as an article from Science by Jason Blackstock and Jane Long says, "the rapid impact, simple deployment, and low cost of [geoengineering] schemes make unilateral deployment a very real concern."
The conclusion of both the articles from Science and Foreign Affairs is that geoengineering must be taken seriously by international scientific research organisations.
In a nutshell: someone, somewhere is going to do it, so it might as well be someone responsible.
Both articles advocate openness and co-operation with the research. "A dedicated international entity overseen by the leading academies, provided with a large budget, and suffuse with the norms of transparency and peer review will be necessary," writes Victor and colleagues.
Many worry that geoengineering is a kind of get-out-of-jail-free card. That it will stymie attempts to solve the climate change problem at its cause. That it will treat only the symptoms in some vast, dangerous global experiment.
These views are certainly valid. But when geoengineering experiments are already underway - uncontrolled, unmonitored, illegal - then it is time for the world to have a serious conversation about geoengineering.
As Foreign Affairs noted more than three years ago, "Because the option [of geoengineering] exists, and might be used, it would be dangerous for scientists and policymakers to ignore it."

Install the C++ subsytems. The front end is NOT on the development

Given it's IRIX6.2 the dev foundation and libraries cd is free on www.sgi.com
and you can then use at least some versions of gcc/g++.
Been a long time since I used such, others can help better.

RADCLIFF, Ky. — The overnight letter blasted the quiet, ordered world of Edith and Eugene Moore and their 5-year-old son, Melvin, with a few lines of evasive bureaucratic prose.
The terse March 1989 note from the Georgia Department of Human Resources revealed that Melvin's adoption records had been opened by a court order. And it warned that the Moores might need an attorney to help resolve "serious potential legal issues."
Even then, the Army staff sergeant and his ebullient German-born wife had no real premonition of the bizarre tragedy that would embroil two families in a passionate, high-stakes struggle.

Altoona's T.J. Brandt reached the Northwest Regional Class AAA 103-pound finals on a roll last year, but Clearfield's Christian Stone stopped that roll with a 4-2 decision.
It appears Brandt and Stone are on a collision course for the finals again. This time, it's at 112.
This time, though, Brandt should be able to get the job done, but it won't be easy. He's bigger and better than last season and is again rolling after some late-season illness and weight problems.
They have a handful of common opponents, including Line Mountain's returning Class AA champion Zain Retherford. Retherford handed Brandt a 5-0 loss and won by technical fall over Stone.
Give the edge to Brandt, who will be looking to avenge last year's loss.
Brandt, like he was at the District 6 Tournament, will be the only area champion.
It's too bad Altoona's Wendell Myers won't be wrestling in the tournament. Myers was withdrawn from the 135-pound weight class for what Altoona coach Joel Gilbert called "disciplinary reasons." He would have had a good chance at making the finals.
With the Mountain Lion senior out of the picture, Philipsburg-Osceola's Kenny Myers, who lost to Wendell Myers three times, has a good chance of making the finals. He'll need to get by Cathedral Prep's Michael McBryde in the quarterfinals and then, most likely, DuBois' Tom Sleigh in the semifinals.
If he can do that, and the pick here is that he will, he'll fall to Central Mountain's Dillon Gavlock in the finals.
P-O's Logan Walstrom (145) and Hollidaysburg's Damian Lascoli (160) stand good chances at making the finals, but they'll fall a little short in very tough brackets.
I'm picking Central Mountain again to win the team title, but Cathedral Prep, Bald Eagle Area and Clearfield will push the Wildcats for the crown. They seem to have more firepower than the other top teams.
Here's the rest of my picks:
103 POUNDS: Finalists: Jake Gromacki, Cathedral Prep vs. Shane Peters, Clearfield. Champion: Gromacki. Comment: Gromacki beat Peters, 8-4, at the Tool City Tournament.
112 POUNDS: Finalists: T.J. Brandt, Altoona vs. Christian Stone, Clearfield. Champion: Brandt. Comment: Brashear's Godwin Nyama could stop Stone's roll into the finals.
119 POUNDS: Finalists: Josh Polacek, Westmont Hilltop vs. Austin Gillihan, Corry. Champion: Gillihan. Comment: Bellefonte's Tom Traxler can't be counted out of this weight class.
125 POUNDS: Finalists: Kaleb Loht, Indian Valley vs. Malcolm Harris, Johnstown. Champion: Loht. Comment: Punxsutawney's Kody Young will be a big test for Harris in the semifinals.
130 POUNDS: Finalists: Tanner Hough, Westmont Hilltop vs. Nolan Barger, Clearfield. Champion: Hough. Comment: Bellefonte's Leo Wortman is capable of beating Barger, a returning state qualifier.
135 POUNDS: Finalists: Dillon Gavlock, Central Mountain vs. Kenny Myers, Philipsburg-Osceola. Champion: Gavlock. Comment: Myers will get stiff tests in the quarters and semis.
140 POUNDS: Finalists: Scott Bosak, State College vs. Jake Schultz, Lewistown. Champion: Bosak. Comment: Altoona's Jake Hines will get another shot at Bosak in quarters.
145 POUNDS: Finalists: Brian Brill, Central Mountain vs. Tyler Parsons, Cathedral Prep. Champion: Brill. Comment: Philipsburg-Osceola's Logan Walstrom can't be counted of a rematch with Brill.
152 POUNDS: Finalists: Tyler Buckwalter, Central Mountain vs. Mark Havers, Bradford. Champion: Havers. Comment: DuBois' Geno Morelli and Central Tech's Khlique Harris could make it through the rugged top bracket.
160 POUNDS: Finalists: Brad Grieb, Bellefonte vs. Zack Towers, Meadville. Champion: Towers. Comment: Hollidaysburg's Damian Lascoli will certainly challenge Towers in the semifinals.
171 POUNDS: Finalists: Jacob Taylor, Bald Eagle Area vs. Joe Morrison, DuBois. Champion: Taylor. Comment: There's a lot of talent in the bottom bracket.
189 POUNDS: Finalists: Ryan Burnheimer, Westmont Hilltop vs. Nash Walters, Corry. Champion: Burnheimer. Comment: Johnstown's Gervon Simon could beat Walters in semifinals.
215 POUNDS: Finalists: Tyson Searer, Lewistown vs. Aaron Bell, Strong Vincent. Champion: Searer. Comment: Clearfield's Cliff Hill will be a big obstacle for Searer in semis.
285 POUNDS: Finalists: Josh Duplin, Westmont Hilltop vs. Zach Corl, Central Mountain. Champion: Duplin. Comment: Duplin finds a way to win, and he's going to need that at a loaded weight.
TEAM CHAMPION: Central Mountain. Comment: The team race will be close again, but the Wildcats take it.

Buffalo firefighters are expected to vote on a new contract next week. It would be their first in 12 years.
Leadership of the firefighters' union, Local 282, and Byron W. Brown's mayoral administration declined to comment on the details of the pact, but several sources confirmed that a tentative agreement is on the table.
The union's membership rejected tentative contracts in 2007 and 2008, but getting a new contract in place has been a priority of the union.
Since 2001, firefighters have not received raises, except for a one-time, 5.5 percent increase in 2007.

Major Lodge Expansion Underway at Brundage Mountain
Brundage Snow Blog, News
June 16, 2014 by April
A more spacious and hassle-free lodge experience is the goal of a half-million dollar project underway this summer and fall at Brundage Mountain Resort.
This addition is the largest piece of a phased expansion project that's been in progress since 2011.
Highlights include new ticket windows and Guest Services facilities just steps from the parking lot. Visitors will be able to purchase passes and tickets without climbing a long staircase to the upper floors. The new 'plaza' level will provide easier access between the lodge and the base area and create a more welcoming entrance to the lodge.
The expansion will nearly double the size of the Rental Shop and Retail areas and help ease congestion during busy periods.
In addition, 1,400 square feet of outdoor deck space will be added to the south and southeast sides of the lodge, allowing for outdoor table service from Smoky's Bar & Grill in both the winter and summer seasons.
"We're very excited to cap off our on-going expansion with such a beautiful, functional addition," said Managing Director Bob Looper.
The first part of the project, the deck on the southeast side, will be finished in plenty of time for Brundage Mountain's Summer Grand Opening on June 27. Smoky's will be open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from June 27 through Labor Day.
"We're adding more than 500 square feet of new deck space before summer even begins," said resort spokesperson, April Whitney. "That means our summer visitors can sit outside and enjoy a cold drink or tasty meal after a scenic chairlift ride or some downhill mountain biking. The deck space will also be a wonderful bonus for our weddings and events."
The construction project will not interfere with downhill mountain biking, scenic chairlift rides, the operation of Smoky's Bar & Grill or events and weddings that are already scheduled at Brundage Mountain this summer.
Since 2011, Brundage has added 2,000 feet of indoor seating space, built the SideStash Café and expanded Smoky's Bar & Grill into a full-service restaurant. All totaled, these lodge improvements amount to approximately a half a million dollars.

Woman accused of stealing wire
Trista Ann Myers, 28, of Van Buren Road, Jersey Shore, has been charged with theft, receiving stolen property and criminal conspiracy for allegedly stealing wires from utility poles in the 200 block of Haleeka Road in Hepburn Township on Oct. 4, Old Lycoming Township police said.
She has been sent a summons to appear before District Judge James H. Sortman. Two others, Zachary Brian Schreiber, and his girlfriend, Ashley Thompson, already have been charged in the case and are in jail on these offenses as well as others.
Man accused of beating woman
Derrick E. Tutler, 28, of 417 Hawthorne Ave., has been charged with simple assault, disorderly conduct and harassment for allegedly climbing on top of a woman and punching her in the face and head in the 100 block of West Third Street about 1 a.m. on Aug. 11, city police said.
Police said Tutler threw Chante James to the the ground and began attacking her.
Following his recent arraignment before District Judge Allen P. Page III, Tutler was released on $1,500. He was held court on all charges.
Man accused of stealing, pawning jewelry
Travis Christian Klinger, 26, of 733 Reuben Kehrer Road, Muncy, has been charged with allegedly stealing $2,700 worth of jewelry from Michaele Klinger's home at 2222 Mahaffey Lane and selling the items to pawnshops sometime between July 1 and Aug. 14, according to Old Lycoming Township police.
Klinger, formerly of the 500 block of Smokey Corners Road, Cogan Station, was arraigned last week before District Judge James H. Sortman and released on $10,000 bail.
Teen charged with bike theft
Jacob Daniel Wertman, 18, of 3172 Reeder Road, pleaded guilty last week to stealing a juvenile's bicycle from the 600 block of Spruce Street in Montoursville on July 2.
Borough police said the bicycle was quickly recovered soon after the theft.
After pleading guilty to theft, Wertman was ordered by District Judge Gary A. Whiteman to pay $1,062 in fines and court costs. He made arrangements to pay the owed amount.
As part of the guilty plea, borough police withdrew a charge of receiving stolen property.
Woman accused of shoplifting
Katie Mae Louise Clemens, 23, of 2815 Orchard Ave., has been charged with misdemeanor shoplifting after she was caught allegedly trying to steal 10 articles of clothing valued at $256 from Kmart, 1915 E. Third St., on Sept. 10.
She has been sent a summons to appear before District Judge Gary A. Whiteman.

Luke's Postgraduate Taught Scholarship was the icing on the cake: an opportunity in an affordable, cool city where he could gain skills necessary to pursue his other career ambitions. He is currently studying the MSc Social Science Research Methods and looking forward to finding doctoral study either in the UK or overseas.
Can you tell us a little bit about the programme in your own words?
"My Social Science Research Methods program focuses on developing the skills necessary to undertake further study (at PhD level) or to begin a career in social science research – from the soft vocational skills in dealing with supervisors and delivering oral presentations; through to the harder statistical analyses via the philosophical roots of social science. The study environment is very positive – we are encouraged to work with students from other disciplines to understand what the challenges and benefits can be of different pathways to our own. Everyone is extremely friendly and down to earth – it's a pleasure to work alongside people who are dedicated to their field of study."
What did the Postgraduate Taught Scholarship mean to you?
"Being awarded the postgraduate taught scholarship was a fantastic opportunity and one I'm extremely grateful for – without it I would be forced to undertake part time work outside of the SSRM course in order to support my living. With it, I am able to concentrate fully on my studies – which will be even more of a benefit when it comes to the actual data collection phase of my thesis."
Have you been able to secure funding from other places, how else are you supporting your studies?
"Thankfully I have been able to use my own personal savings to pay for rent and food/living so far, although I am considering applying for the Santander University Scholarship to supplement this money to get me through the summer."
What were your motivations for undertaking a postgraduate degree?
"I had previously applied to several PhD schemes (including Cardiff's own) in Psychology, but had been told by several institutions that I should come back in a year with a Masters if I could. This is my main motivation – to secure a place on a PhD scheme, either in the US/Canada or in the UK, and I hope that the SSRM is an ideal path towards this goal."
Why did you decide to do your postgraduate degree at Cardiff?
"Having previously studied for my undergraduate degree in Cardiff, I was familiar with the department, the city, and the way of working. I felt that this would make the process an easier one to undertake. The cost of living in Cardiff is really affordable, it's a cool place with stuff going on outside of the Uni, and the lure of the available funding was the icing on the cake."
Is there anything about your postgraduate course that has stood out in your experience?
"So far I've enjoyed meeting people with different research interests to my own, putting my research skills to use in a 'research in practice' extra module, and outside of uni, furthering my amateur journalistic skills writing about live music around the city."
What do you think of Cardiff as a place to live as a postgraduate?
"Cardiff is, and has been, a fantastic place to live for the last four years. It caters to my own personal interests greatly – the arts are well represented, be it in gallery showings of photography, live music (I've seen everything from punk to piano concertos), and arthouse cinema over at the Chapter Arts Centre (Cardiff's independent cinema, theatre and arts space), which is an amazing facility)."
How do you think your postgraduate course will contribute to your future career plans?
"I hope that the SSRM course in particular will provide me with the core set of skills that will make me an attractive proposition as a potential PhD candidate – from the more tangible research skills to the deeper philosophical understanding of the research process. Further down the line, the MA Social Science Research Methods has prepared me for the trials and tribulations of publishing research, presenting at conferences, and postdoc work in general."
Has studying for a postgraduate degree at Cardiff University lived up to your expectations?
"So far I've had an excellent first semester both academically and socially, and I'm sure the next semester will follow suit. The strong support structure I found as an undergraduate is reflected at postgrad level, and I'm pleased with my choice to continue studying in Cardiff."
What are your biggest achievements as a postgraduate student at Cardiff University so far?
"So far I've had an excellent first semester both academically and socially, and I'm sure the next semester will follow suit. The strong support structure I found at undergraduate level is reflected at postgrad, and I'm pleased with my choice to continue studying in Cardiff."

Ariel Dorfman
Set in a Greek village in 1942, and purportedly written from his imagination by a Danish man before he was picked up by the Gestapo and not seen again, here is Ariel Dorfman's haunting and universal parable of individual courage in the face of political oppression. Widows forms a testament to the disappeared—those living under totalitarian regimes the world over, who are taken away for "questioning" and never return. One by one, the bodies of men wash up on the shore of the river, where they are claimed by the women of the local town as husbands and fathers, even though the faces of the dead men are unrecognizable. A tug-of-war ensues between the local police, who insist that the women couldnt possibly recognize their loved ones, and the women demanding the right to bury their beloveds. As it evolves, the stand-off reveals itself to be a power struggle between love, dignity and honor, and the lesser god of brute force. A lesson in how power really works, and how it can be made to work differently.
First published in 1983, Widows is one of Dorfmans most popular and lasting books, a classic in the literature of social protest.
"The plot resounds with the moral thunder of classic … The reader, deeply touched, moves as if in a dream of outrage among its tombs of love." —Alan Cheuse, The New York Times Book Review
"Lyrical and even elegiac … Dorfman gives flesh to a human rights issue of our time." —The Chicago Tribune
