How to define MSWIN
Hello All,
My name is Jason Woodside. I am new to this site and new to C\C++. Thank you for having me!
I am experimenting with C\C++ in particular "Blaze C" and trying to program a handheld PC. I'm receiving compile errors when using header files whose functions are wrapped in extern "C". I was told by the developer of the header files that I must define MSWIN, MSWIN32 and MSWINDLL in my environment in order to make the symbols expand correctly. Hmm. Does anyone know what that means and how I should go about actually doing that?
Thank you for your support.
Re: How to define MSWIN
He means you need to define the symbols. In some compilers that refers to the -D option, for example -DMSWIN would define MSWIN, so that the code "#ifdef MSWIN" would evaluate TRUE. You'll need to check the compiler documentation for how to define symbols at the command line.

Churches can once again meet for worship in New York City public school buildings while their legal case plays out in the courts.
District Judge Loretta Preska issued an injunction Friday in the case of the Bronx Household of Faith, a tiny evangelical church that meets in a public grade school.
The judge ruled churches have the right to hold services in the city's public schools, belying New York City's no-worship policy.
"In this court's view, losing one's right to exercise freely and fully his or her religious beliefs is a greater threat to our democratic society than a misperceived violation of the Establishment Clause," Preska said.
An appeals court ruled last week that the judge's previous injunction was too narrow, only covering the congregation named in the petition.
The city said it will file another appeal, though it will consider pending applications from churches for school space this weekend.

Get well soon!
What this addon needs to become perfection is a button that will stack identical items. For example there are many identical items of one kind, like say pure water, that are clattered and should be stacked. A button that will sort and autostack the items is direlly needed.
I hope you get well soon and upgrade your nice mod :>

Some time ago we reported on a new hack discovered by an iOS hacker David Schuetz that let us put our own apps on Apple TV. By enabling an Apple TV OS feature called Add Site, Schuetz was able to add a custom site pointing at a Raspberry Pi media server which he added to the Apple TV. The hack quickly got closed as Apple disabled the Add Site feature. In a new post Schuetz explains what exactly happened and speculates on the future of his hack.

Apple TV hacking: "Add Site" hack follow-up

Apple TV hacker discovered how to add custom sites, the hack gets closed quickly
by Dan on October 7, 2013
A new hack was discovered which allows custom site bookmarks to be added on pre-iOS 7 Apple TV's. The backdoor hack comes from an iOS hacker David Schuetz who discovered a way to enable an Add Site feature which adds the ability to add custom sites to the Apple TV menu. However, it seems the hack has already been closed: it seems Apple checks for the existence of additional links placed on the Home Screen and actively disables them, so unfortunately the hack was short lived. Hopefully, Schuetz's discovery will inspire people to figure out how to disable this check. Despite the hack being closed, here's the details.

Creating a Life Science Cluster in Florida
Great Progress Has Been Made in Attracting Research Institutes: Will Companies Follow?!--h2>
For the last several years, Florida has been named by various industry pundits as one of the top biotech regions. The criteria used to determine this ranking are a bit nebulous, but if the ranking has anything to do with money spent luring life science institutions to the state and an unwavering determination to create a healthcare juggernaut, then the laurels are well deserved.
After 10 years of seeking to become a life science hotspot, things do seem to be finally coming together in Florida. A triumvirate of critical factors have coalesced in the last five years, including cooperation among three southern Florida counties (Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach), significant financial input from state coffers, and an abundance of committed individuals.
The Florida Innovation Incentive Fund, created in 2006 under former Governor Jeb Bush, was designed to attract biotech companies and research institutions to Florida and create a leading biotechnology center. The results, so far, have been noteworthy.
In 2003, Scripps was persuaded to establish an east coast branch on the campus of Florida Atlantic University in Jupiter. Incentives from the state topped $310 million, according to Russell Allen, president and CEO of BioFlorida.
Academic Involvement
The University of Miami (UM), with Donna Shalala, Ph.D., Secretary of Health and Human Services in the Clinton administration, at its helm is doing its part to advance the life sciences in Florida as well.
Start-Up Companies
Camillo Ricordi, M.D., scientific director of the Diabetes Research Institute at the Miller School and distinguished professor of medicine and professor of surgery, biomedical engineering, microbiology, and immunology at the University of Miami, is especially prolific. While Dr. Ricordi is best known as an expert in cell transplantation, he is also an entrepreneur who recently formed three companies: LifeGate, Jotmate, and Converge.
Keeping Firms in State
Florida would prefer that its home-grown companies stay in Florida, and several steps have been taken to make sure that happens. The University of Miami Miller School of Medicine has set up UM Innovation to help nascent firms by constructing a 7.2-acre life science park with about 1.4 million square feet of lab and office space for UM spinoffs as well as non-UM companies.

Republicans have realeased their alternative to President Barack Obama's budget.
In a show of solidarity, Wednesday, House and Senate Republicans walked down the Capitol steps to criticize the Obama's budget, while adding some beef to their own.
The GOP 10-year plan would trim the $3.6 trillion deficit by repealing much of the economic stimulus package, making the Bush tax cuts permanent, overhauling Medicare and freezing domestic spending.
Still, their plan projects deficits exceeding $500 billion, though much less than Obama's plan.
"The Democratic budget will double the national debt in five years and triple it in 10," Sen. Mitch McConnell claimed. "Looking at it another way, they will accumulate more debt than all of the presidents from George Washington up to and through George W. Bush."
The house is expected to take up a budget vote Thursday.

Reliable little Car
by Loyale from North Dakota | June 21, 2012
I picked up my Loyale for $250 bucks. About $100 into it and I had a very reliable car. (The head gasket was blown when I got it......previous owner was NOT a person who took real great care of vehicles.) That was 6 years ago. The car has never given me any major problems at all. Sure the windows have a tough time going up (electric) and I had to clean the brass disk in the starter once, but considering the abuse this car had prior to me all I can say is WOW! It isn't the fastest car off the line, it tends to dog down a bit in some muddy scenarios, but for a 1.8L and again, the abuse, it has exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for cheap, reliable, transportation you should really try to find one of these! They are getting harder and harder to find though so look now!

Love Love Love my car
by abby from wisconsin | March 30, 2012
I love my Subaru Loyale! I bought this car from a friend for $50, and it looked rough. That was 8 years ago, it sat in an old barn for 3 years before I bought it we started it up put on new tires and an oil change, toped of fluids and drove it. There are 200,000+ miles...I drive this car everyday,I have used this car to teach 2 teens to drive manual, and this car has been through a lot of deep snow. The 4 wheel drive is great push one button and I can drive through anything! This car starts every time even in the coldest weather. If I had to only pick one word to tell you about this car it would be. Reliable! I Love my car and have been asked to sell it many times, but I would be lost without it.

Archdiocese Turns to Evangelizing
With 16% of Local Catholics Attending Mass, Boston Church Leaders Take a New Tack; 'We're Not Used to Doing That'
BOSTON—The fourth-largest Roman Catholic archdiocese in the nation plans to respond to a steep drop in churchgoing by venturing down a road taken by Mormons and Protestants: evangelizing.
Some 40% of Roman Catholic parishes in the Boston area can't pay their bills, and only 16% of local Catholics attend weekly Mass, the Archdiocese of Boston said in an overhaul plan released this week that proposed the effort to increase membership.
"We're not used to doing that," said William P. Fay, a monsignor and co-chairman of the Archdiocesan Pastoral Planning Commission, in an interview Thursday. "We are used to going to church, having communion, and making sure our kids are properly educated. Now, what we're saying is that we've got a responsibility to reach out to other people and get them engaged and involved."
The archdiocese is proposing to reduce costs and become more mission-minded by reorganizing its 290 parishes into groups of two or three parishes that will share a "pastoral service team" of priests, deacons and finance councils.
The plan does not call for closing churches, but each "pastoral collaborative" can recommend closures or merging of programs, and is also expected to come up with a local plan on how they will creatively "evangelize" to increase church attendance, said Msgr. Fay.
"Once you're baptized, you're supposed to go preach the gospel to other people," he said. "It wasn't something that was on the front burner, but we are trying to bring it to the front burner."
Boston is far from alone. "Dioceses all around the country are looking at evangelism—I even know one diocese that is considering a door-to-door campaign," said Mark Gray, a senior research associate at the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University. "This has always been much more common among Protestant denominations or Mormons…but now there is the sense that the Catholic Church should be doing this as well."
The motivation is clear. The U.S. Catholic population is growing, but a lot of Catholics are skipping church. The number of people identifying themselves as Catholic rose to 77.7 million in 2011 from 74 million in 2005, but the weekly Mass attendance rate has fallen and is now about 31%, and far less in many urban areas, Mr. Gray said.
In Massachusetts, attendance has been dropping for decades, with some of the decline in the last 10 years a likely fallout from sexual-abuse scandals involving priests, said Msgr. Fay. "Some of it was, no question about that," he said. In 2003, the archdiocese agreed to pay $85 million to settle more than 500 suits from people who claimed they were abused by priests.
The archdiocese closed and merged dozens of churches as part of a 2004 reconfiguration, causing further angst, said Cynthia Deysher, the business manager at St. Anselm Church in Sudbury, Mass. "It was a one-two punch," she said.
But the decline is also the result of many people being too busy to commit to church, Msgr. Fay said. "It takes two or three jobs to support a family…they're worn out."
"Only 16% of our folks are active Catholics…so what we need to do is really turn that around," he said.

The Olympics: I was against them before I was for them
As the advertising began for the Olympics months ago, I was immune to it. Since I have several rather basic issues with the games, I resisted the temptation to be drawn in.
For one thing, I don't believe the "movement" is, as mandated, geared to the youth of the world. There are four- and five-time Olympians, which means athletes in their 40s are competing. They may be young to a septuagenarian, but they ain't no "yutes." I think the games have become a commercial enterprise for the hosting country, corporations all over the world and even the athletes. Coaches and contestants can sell themselves to any country that needs them and has the dough.
OK, so I have issues and I just don't care about the Olympics.
At some point, however, the issues go into hibernation and I am systematically drawn in. Inadvertently I hear a compelling story about the tragedies in an athlete's life and want to see her event. I learn of an unlucky ice skater who is trying to redeem himself, and I want to see how he does. I want to root for the Jamaican bobsled team because - well, who doesn't? And I want to see Charlie White skate with Meryl Davis.
In other words, I get hooked.
As I watched the opening, I remember thinking after the games in Bejiing that no other country could ever come close to the scope, magic and perfection of its ceremonies, but when London hosted four years later, I found I was wrong. But Russia? No, they could not possibly measure up. Again, I was wrong.
Many found the failure of one of the stars to morph into an Olympic ring a glaring glitch. I found it endearing. Nothing should be perfect and it seems to soften the stern, humorless, forbidding image of what we call Russian.
As it all began, I found myself as alert as a long tailed cat peeping into a room full of rocking chairs.
It didn't pass unnoticed when one of the commentators mentioned that Krakow, Poland would be one of the sites considered for the next winter Olympics, I almost did a double take. The only thing I know of Krakow dates back almost 75 years when Hitler and the Nazis drove the Jews into the city and then walled them in. Fifteen thousand people lived in an area previously densely inhabited by 3,000. That they were walled in was bad enough, but from there they were taken to their final destinations, the nearby Auschwitz and other extermination camps. It was that Krakow I knew and only that one.
But in four years, it could be a city to which people from all over the world would flock to see a sporting event; the antithesis of images I have kept stored somewhere in my head all these years.
While it is daunting to think of all the changes I would like to see in this world, it is encouraging to think of what has happened in Krakow, the then, now and future of it.
That was my first reaction. I must admit, it made me feel better about the world.
When the Russian team entered the stadium, the cheers from the home crowd underscored the fact that a love and pride in country seems to be a natural part of the human condition. I thought to myself that I wouldn't be so proud of my country if it was Russia, but realized almost immediately that that is shallow thinking. I would be proud. It is my country. I may envision ways I would want my country to be better - I think that about my own - but that does nothing to diminish the love of it. When we say that the U.S.A. is the best country on earth, we should realize that citizens of Switzerland, Italy, Sweden and yes, Russia, think the same about theirs. It is true that no country has had the hordes of people clamoring to be let in as ours has. It may be the best place to live on the face of the earth. And people from around the world may wish their homeland was more like it, but they love their country.
With that realization, I was beginning to feel good about myself.
When the relatively thin, attractive Russian opera singer took the stage in the latter part of the ceremonies, I remembered that in my youth, Russian women were always pictured as fat, wearing a babushka and smiling, even though that smile revealed at least one missing tooth. That is certainly not the way Russian women look today - if it ever was.
Almost all of us can be duped at one time or another, so be careful.
In the parade of nations, I saw teams of one, two or three athletes and wondered how these Olympians kept going when they have absolutely no chance of winning anything, when they have little or no support at home and when they have to make so many sacrifices to do what they do. It could only be because they love the sport and the competition. They may not win a medal but none of these players can lose. They fully represent the ideals of the Olympic movement.
And I fell in love with the Olympic games again - perhaps more for their potential than their reality.
The Russians put on a spectacular show drawing on their most up-to-date technological advances. While covering the more positive aspects of the country's history, it used Russia's rich cultural heritage, its dance, music, literature - its art - to tell the story. It may not always be appreciated, but the art we produce is what lingers, what speaks for us to future generations.
So viva art, Russia, the athletes, the Olympic movement, the U.S.A., Charlie White and every single one of us!

Friendship With An EclectusWith a bird this intelligent, its relationship with a human goes far beyond pet/owner. Most Eclectus friends say that their relationship takes place on more of an equal playing field, even though it can seem one-sided when the bird wants to get its way!
"She always has to have things her way and, if she wants attention, she refuses to be ignored. As for other humans, you can just tell them to go away and leave you alone. She also gets more home cooking than my husband does," said Waldman.
"I would describe my relationship with Galen as very close," said Aurelia Hearn from Delaware of her Solomon Island's male. "In the 31⁄2 years I've had him, I have learned to understand most of his sounds, clucks and dips, and I believe he understands me fairly well. For example, he knows when I don't approve of something he is doing, and when I tell him to stop, he stops most of the time. He loves the game of 'he makes a sound, and I copy the sound he makes.' He enjoys singing with me — we both sound bad, but at least we sound bad together."
Friendship among different species is an extraordinary treasure. Being friends implies that there's mutual respect, love and understanding between the partners. Eclectus pals are quick to say they believe this is quite possible between them and their intelligent birds.
"We tend to relate more as equals than as pet and owner, but I need to constantly remind myself that the birds will always think and react as birds, not as other people," said Thompson. "It stays interesting that way, as opposed to the routine feel that comes so often with other types of companion animals. Eclectus are extremely intelligent. Much of their talking is simply mimicry, but they also seem to use many phrases very appropriately. It happens often enough that I don't think that you can say that it's all just an enormous coincidence."
"I see Flicka as a great empathetic daughter who can read my feelings before I can," said Cindy Benz of New Mexico, about the female of her (and her husband David's) pair of Eclectus. "She knows if I'm in need of a 'cool down period,' and will cuddle and offer herself as a deep friend would. She also understands if she is left alone for a time, due to a busy schedule, and will not 'hold it against me.' She clues into vocalizing her feelings with soft clucking and soft growlings when she feels my attention is for her only."
Carol Frank, President of Avian Adventures in Texas, has had her male Solomon Island's Eclectus, Murphy Green, for nine years and gives talks around the country on the virtues of parrothood. She sings the praises of the Eclectus and appreciates the species' compassionate temperament.
"One moment Murphy will be sitting quietly with me for hours, cooing into my ear, staring directly into my eyes and giving me more unconditional love than I could ever expect from such an exceptional creature. The next moment we'll be marching around the house, singing, dancing and carrying on while he is screaming, laughing and entertaining the heck out of me. I have often referred to him as an 'old soul' because he has such compassion and depth of character. I tell him every day what a lucky 'birdie mom' I am!" said Frank.
"My dogs are very much a part of my life; but I find that with them, I am the master," said Chase. "With my cockatiels, even though we play, talk and give kisses back and forth, I am the leader for the most part. But with Milo, we are partners. His personality is just too big to be bossed! Although I get unconditional love from the dogs, I feel that working to keep Milo's trust is a challenge that makes me a better person."
Kathy Rakestraw, an Eclectus guardian from Georgia, confesses that she does sometimes think of her Eclectus as a feathered child, but that she is careful not to take that thinking too far.
"He's a bird, and I need to let him be a bird," said Rakestraw. "I need to always keep sight of the fact that I owe it to him to provide him the guidance he needs to be a happy, healthy bird living in a human society. I know he is not a 'child' and I respect his needs and wants as a bird as best as I know how. I do view myself as his guardian. He isn't a pet to me. He's too smart for that.
"Since I have chosen to bring him into my household, and he had no choice in that, I owe it to him to provide him with the best care, love and guidance that I can," she continued. "I try to understand him and what he 'tells' me by his actions, body language and vocalizing. Sometimes I fail miserably, but he is very forgiving. I keep trying, and I think he knows that. I feel a responsibility and commitment that transcends love. I feel I have been very privileged to have this little soul in my life, and I want to honor that privilege all the days of his life."

Some 300 police officers filled out the pews of St. Bernard of Clairvaux Church in Bridgewater this morning for the Diocese of Metuchen's seventh annual Blue Mass. The Mass honors law enforcement officials in the Hunterdon, Middlesex, Somerset, and Warren, the four counties served by the diocese.
"You who are in law enforcement have a very difficult job," Bishop Paul Bootkoski told the congregation. "You see the best in society and you see the worse in society."
Bootkoski paid special honors to the families of Perth Amboy Police Officer Thomas Raji and North Brunswick Lt. Christopher Zerby. Both were killed in car accidents in August.
The officers' families were presented with a statue of St. Michael, the patron saint of police.
With bagpipes and drums booming through the sunlit church, a bell was tolled for each of the fallen officers. Bridgewater Police Chief Richard Borden read the Policeman's Prayer, later saying the mass was a chance for officers and departments to put aside "petty differences" and reflect on the "true feeling of being a police officer.
"This really brings everything back to core here," Borden said. "We all become united, even though we're from different counties.
After the mass, Bootkoski walked a line of officers standing at attention outside the church and threw holy water over their heads.
"It was nice to be surrounded by other officers," said North Brunswick Police Director Ken McCormick.

THE CONTROVERSY surrounding sentinel node biopsy for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is not new. The study by Intra et al1 in the March issue of the ARCHIVES supports avoiding routine sentinel node biopsy for DCIS because of the low risk of nodal metastases.
By definition, DCIS cannot spread; it is not an invasive malignancy. Any evidence of breast epithelium in a lymph node from a patient with this disease represents either an inaccurate diagnosis or perhaps displacement of epithelial cells by tumor manipulation, such as a preoperative needle biopsy. If the cells are not displaced epithelium, but rather metastatic breast cancer, then the diagnosis of DCIS is not possible. Most likely, a sampling error has occurred, resulting in underdiagnosis. This is understandable because the pathologist can, in practice, only examine a small portion of the DCIS during routine histopathologic assessment. Although some authors advocate routine sentinel node biopsy to detect underdiagnosis, this is not prudent for patients who have had their previous tumor completely excised because of the low risk of underdiagnosis and the necessity of a second operation.

Understand, my experience is limited, but if I had to take one, sight unseen and use it, I would take a Glock. I have heard they will eat up both lite and full-house loads with no problem, and if you are already used to the G-17 and/or G-21 manual of arms, the adjustment is minimal.
Would you be using full-house or lite?
Agent 86
August 2, 2007, 03:53 PM
I would use both, but probably lite loads a little more often.
Charles S
August 2, 2007, 03:58 PM
Of all the 10mms I have shot and handled I personally like the 610 the best, and the truth of the matter is I really prefer autos most of the time. My S&W 610 can shoot the lightest 40 to the hottest 10mm without problems, is very accurate, and surprisingly enough to me very fast with the moon clips.
However if you limit the selection to autoloaders the S&W 1006 may be one of the best - I don't have one, but I really like them. I like the 1076 also.
I am having a 10 mm upper built for my one of my 1911s I hope it turns out to be a good choice also.
Deer Hunter
August 2, 2007, 03:58 PM
Smith and Wesson's 10xx series were built for the original full-house loads. And if you like 1911s, take a look at Dan Wesson's 10mm offerings.
August 2, 2007, 04:09 PM
Ignorant question, but ..
If you're shooting 10mm, will you be (or do you plan to possibly be) shooting many reloads?
If the answer to that is Yes, might you be better off with a third-party barrel for the gun, so as not to shoot too much lead in the polygonal rifling?
Not experienced with Glocks or with 10mm, but that seems to be the consensus re: Glocks in other calibers, not true?
August 2, 2007, 04:09 PM
S&W 10xx series (and particularly the 1066)
August 2, 2007, 06:46 PM
I would use both, but probably lite loads a little more often.
Pardon me butting in, if you plan on mostly shooting 10mm lite loads, then why not stick with the .40S&W? It'll be cheaper, much cheaper to feed.
Are you aware that the .40S&W originated as a reduced-load solution for 10mm after the FBI found out that many of their Agents couldn't handle the 10mm cartridge?
August 2, 2007, 07:13 PM
I've shot a few 10 mm pistols and owned one (the S&W 1076). I sold the Smith because I never got used to the grip, but I loved the way it shot. If you can find one, and if it fits, the Smith is a nice option. Also, the G20 is a good option.
August 2, 2007, 07:41 PM
1. I had a Glock 20 (one of the first) and I blew it up before 300 rounds went through. I think it was the polygonal-rifling-and-lead-bullets issue, but I might have double-charged a case. I didn't replace it because I didn't (and don't) want to shoot plastic guns any more; I sold my other two Glocks.
2. I've put 1000s of rounds through an SA Omega--this was an early 10mm 1911 with a special top end--could shoot anything through it, and its polygonal rifling did not particularly lead up.
3. I have a 1006 I've shot little--perhaps 500 rounds, then set aside. I just dug it out and it's at the 'smith's getting tuned up. Comments above are right--the 10xx Smiths will handle any 10 load. And, I've heard only good things about the Smith 10mm revolvers. The downside, of course, is the S&W ergonomics: 'backwards' safety operation, and a trigger you can't tune up like a 1911 trigger. The upside, of course, is its durability and reliability.
4. A few weeks ago I got a 10mm top end for my EAA Witness. Works fine with target loads; have to chase an accurate reload recipe for it. Unless you are seeking a semiauto 10mm and plan to always shoot firewall loads, I think this could be an excellent economical package IF you get one without QC problems. (Do a search on this issue.) CZ-75-type pistols are the modern version of 1911 ergonomics, which is a real plus. EAA has a beautiful 'Match' version, but it doesn't seem to be imported--maybe in any caliber.
4. Yesterday I bought a new Kimber "Stainless Target II"--very impressed with the QC on it, but I haven't shot it yet. The price--$950.00, storefront--seemed to be fair for being a 'complete' updated 1911 package. If this pistol works well, it strikes me as the current ideal 10mm setup: 1911 ergonomics, 10mm power and flexibility.
Nowadays I'm really just into shooting a 10mm target load--e.g., Lead of whatever weight under 1000 FPS. I have components for 1000s and 1000s of 10mm loads I bought 12-15 years ago.
.40 S&W will be more economical because of brass costs and smaller loads, but in my experience it is a more fussy round to sort out for reloading.
BTW, CWL, the FBI's issues with the 10 were not only use of the early and only max loads, but also the problems of large-frame guns at a time more and more agents were women. The .40 S&W has been a rip-roaring success because, I think, of its availability in medium-frame guns at a time when large-capacity autoloaders became all the rage.
The early SD rounds in 10mm also were not producing good results. However, I suspect the HP bullet development of the last 15 years has eased that problem.
So, to sum up: if you are a 1911 freak, the current Kimber 10 may be the 'best' current pistol out there. If you like (or don't mind) S&W ergonomics and trigger, a 10xx would be a good way to go. Be aware, though, that S&W collectors are on to those 10xx pistols, and prices are up.
Charles S: Is your upper going to be a switch-out package? If so, how is your 'smith handling the ejector size issue between 10mm and 45 ACP? Or is your frame set up for the 9mm/38Super variant?

Yes it is...,but the only way we could get around the ejector issue was a complete upper...meaning slide and all. Yes, it is a little expensive, but for me it was the easiest way of setting up a 10mm on a 1911 frame. BTW my gunsmith recommended a few changes to the frame that would not affect the 45 ACP upper. Honestly I would like to build a 9X23 upper for the same government frame.
August 2, 2007, 08:42 PM
I've owned Colt Delta Elite, Glock 20, 29, S&W 610 4", 1006,1086, 1066, EAA Witness 6" and T/C Contender with 10" barrel. Out of all those I like the 610 the best and the 1086 second best. I always wanted a 6.5" but they cost way too much now. S&W didn't make enough of those and I wish they would bring them back. The G20 was reliable while the G29 was not. I like to think that the best 10mm was the Grizzly LAR. That big frame shooting full power loads had to be pure joy.
August 2, 2007, 08:51 PM
I started with a Glock 21 and a 10mm conversion barrel. This pistol got me hooked on 10mms. I still have the Glock 21 with the 10mm conversion barrel but I do most of my 10mm shooting with a Dan Wesson that I am very partial to. Regards, Richard:D
August 2, 2007, 10:17 PM
Charles S: hold up, I didn't know you can shoot .40S&W in a 10mm gun!
Also, what parts are you using to convert your .45 1911 to 10mm?
Richard, what kit did you use to convert your 21 to 10mm? Or did you just swap out the barrels and have it work a-ok?
August 2, 2007, 11:50 PM
Dan Wesson............period.
August 2, 2007, 11:54 PM
Best is entirely too subjective. If you are looking to purchase a 10mm get a Glock 20 or a Dan Wesson RZ.
August 3, 2007, 07:00 AM
My only experience with the 10mm is with my Colt Delta Elite Enhanced. It does very well, indeed, thank you. Fun gun and round!
August 3, 2007, 07:29 AM
I currently own a Springfield Omega 10mm (1911 frame with a 6 ported barrel/slide using a linkless Glock style system by Peters-Stahl), Glock 20 10mm (also have a KKM .40 S&W conversion barrel for it I use in IDPA), and an IAI (AMT) Javelina 5 1911 in 10mm. Id love to find a S&W 610 and a Colt Delta Elite.
Of these, Id have to say the Omega is my favorite 10mm range gun. The 6 slide and ported barrel really tame the 10mm cartridge and you still get the big boom and flames! For self/home defense, I keep the Glock at hand. 15 rounds of 10mm is certainly all I could need in most situations.
The 10mm is my favorite semi-auto pistol round. It can be loaded to provide excellent performance for most any need.
Charles S
August 3, 2007, 07:35 AM
Charles S: hold up, I didn't know you can shoot .40S&W in a 10mm gun!
Only a S&W 610 revolver...I am unaware of the ability to shoot any other 10 mm with 40 S&W ammo.
Also, what parts are you using to convert your .45 1911 to 10mm?
Literally it is a complete upper...slide, barrel, sights, etc. You switch upper and use different magazines, then you are ready to shoot. The upper must have been previously fitted to the individual frame for best results.

One of a kind(?) Les Baer 10mm Heavyweight Monolith with a 1.5" option, tactical rounding and 8 mags.
Dang good?
Original 610, 50 shots 15 yrds, first time out with the gun. The one pulled shot is the first one down the barrel after I got it.
Reasonably good?
Dan Wesson Razorback. Reasonable good gun, better then the Colts "I" have seen but nowhere near the fit or finish of the Baer.
Charles S
August 3, 2007, 08:21 AM
Peter that is how my 610 shoots. I feel perfectly comfortable with mine shooting Deer sized game at 75 yards. I feel that 75 yards is a reasonable limit for me with an open sited handgun and the power level of the 10 mm. As I stated before I love my 610.
BTW the Baer is incredible. I would love to shoot it. Great gun.
August 3, 2007, 10:05 AM
Crunker1337, I shoot a Glock 21 with the 10mm KKM barrel and 21# spring plus 10mm magazines. In my eyes it is a nice setup but i like a 1911 style pistol better and this explains why I love the Dan Wesson 10mm. Regards, Richard:D
Peter M. Eick
August 3, 2007, 10:33 AM
While the RZ is a good gun, if you look at the target you have a 5 shot group at I believe was 50 ft (it was a while back, so it might be 15 yards). If you look at the Baer HWML, that is an 8 shot (full magazine) at 50 yards with Silvertips which are not known for being exceptionally accurate. This is the reason that the RZ will never compete with the Baer. Also when you rack the slide the RZ is like on glass. Not like a Sig 210 but close. The RZ is like my colt gov 380. Sort of like rubbing your hand across a wood desktop. Not smooth, but not rough enough to do something about it. Also the Baer is fully supported chamber while the RZ is more conventional throated.
The key thing to me is simple. If you want raw power and accuracy out of a 10mm get a 610. They can take far more then the 10mm 1911's can anyday. If you want to beat the tar out of a 10mm with hot loads and not have a problem get a Witness. If you want mag capacity and a reasonably good to very good gun (depending if you can deal with the squishy plastic frame during recoil get a g20.
Here is a very old picture of my 10mms back in the day before I started dumping the ones I did not like and getting better ones.
August 3, 2007, 11:43 AM
Also it seems that STI and/or Fusion Arms are now making and selling a 10mm longslide.
August 3, 2007, 01:01 PM
I can't speak much about other guns, but I have a S&W 610 with 6.5" barrel and a S&W 1076.
The 610 is a tack driver and will also shoot .40S&W. The Smith N frames are a proven platform for the .44 mag, so it can handle the hottest 10mm no problem. Recoil is not bad with hot loads.
The 1076 has the side decocker like a Sig. Single stack 9 round magazine. This gun is built like a tank and I find it hard to believe that anyone in the FBI approved this gun as the standard weapon for it's agents because it is heavy for a carry gun. It handles even the hottest loads no problem, and has been 100% reliable.
If either of these guns fit your description of "Best", I wholeheartedly recommend them. If you need more firepower (15 rounds) in a lighter setup, the Glock may be what you are looking for.
August 3, 2007, 02:20 PM
Crunker1337, I shoot a Glock 21 with the 10mm KKM barrel and 21# spring plus 10mm magazines.
Thanks for the info
Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly do you mean by "21# spring plus 10mm magazines"?
Also, have you experienced any loss of reliability or accuracy in your GLOCK when firing either 10mm or .45ACP? Some people who've tried the 21 to 10mm conversion have said they lost a lot of reliability. They've only been able to get the conversion to work after additional modification besides exchanging barrels.
This got me wondering - since it's possible to convert a GLOCK 21 to 10mm, does that mean the same GLOCK can be used to shoot .40S&W and .357SIG in addition to 10mm and .45ACP?
The Fusion Firearms 1911 looks pretty nice.
I think everyone seems to be forgetting the EAA Witness. It looks a bit like a 1911/S&W M&P crossbreed and I've heard fairly positive reviews about it.
Does anyone know of any doublestack 10mm 1911s?
August 3, 2007, 11:56 PM
Peter - what you're calling a "pulled" shot I'd be pretty proud of ;) That makes me want to get a 610 to go along with my 625 ... ack! Shooting guns is too expensive, because of the desires it provokes.
Peter M. Eick
August 4, 2007, 08:02 PM
Yeah it was a pulled shot or more likely a clean barrel.
Here is what I can do when I really try:
50 shots, 15 yards, standing with my 1939 Registered Magnum

Are you using the 21 extractor? If the gun is functioning properly, great! I would have thought you would need to change to the mdl 20 extractor to get reliable extraction due to the difference in the size of the case head.
August 4, 2007, 10:18 PM
I've owned four 10mms. Here goes:
1) BREN TEN--Great pistol. Handles the 10 perfectly. The big downside is that if you can find one, they'll generally run you three grand. As long as that's not a problem...
2) EAA WITNESS--It's big, sturdy, and reliable. Trigger pull is crisp and the gun is quite accurate. I'm not thrilled with a 1911-type safety on a DA/SA pistol, but this quibble aside it's an excellent budget pistol (mine was less than $400 new).
3) S&W 1006--Full-size, sturdy, and elegant. The DA trigger pull was long and spongy, though.
4) S&W 1076--What a frustrating gun! Beautiful design, flawless functioning. The DA trigger pull is quite crisp, but the SA trigger is heavy with a late break. It takes a lot of discipline to shoot the gun well, and even then I have to slow fire. When I do, these are the results:
August 5, 2007, 08:16 AM
I have owned two 10mms. A Glock 20 and an EAA Witness. I sold the Glock and kept the Witness for my 10mm fun. I bought a Wolff calibration spring kit for it, and settled on the 20# recoil spring and the +power firing pin spring. Function with this setup was 100%. I had a problem finding my brass, as this pistol launched it into low earth orbit. I shortened the ejector about 1/16" or so and now the brass lands in the same zip code. I loved the ergonomics of the pistol, and loved the C&L carry option. I built up the safety with JB weld and reshaped it to make it easier to sweep on the draw like my 1911s. I even carried it as a duty weapon for a few years. I liked the pistol enough that I currently own it in 9mm and .45 as well. Not to mention a .40 barrel for the 10mm to take advantage of the availability of dept range ammo. For $360 out the door, my Wonder Finish 100 Witness is my idea of an ideal 10mm.

PITTSBURGH - Many Steelers stood out in their 27-0 victory over the lowly St. Louis Rams on Saturday at Heinz Field.
Coach Mike Tomlin chose to single out one who may have gone unnoticed to the average viewer of the game - offensive lineman Trai Essex.
"I particularly like the effort from Trai Essex,'' Tomlin said after his team bounced back from its disappointing loss in San Francisco and improved to 11-4. "You are talking about a guy that's our emergency third center.''
Article Photos
Mirror photo by J.D.?Cavrich
Quarterback Charlie Batch celebrates with receiver Mike Wallace after a 46-yard pass play to the 1-yard line Sunday at Heinz Field.
Essex filled in at center when the Steelers' first two on the depth chart were lost for injuries. Starter Maurkice Pouncey missed his second straight game with a sprained ankle, and backup Doug Legursky sustained a shoulder strain on the Steelers' second offensive play of the game Saturday.
Essex, a seven-year veteran, played a near flawless game at center after shifting from left guard. Together with Charlie Batch, starting at quarterback in place of the injured Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers had no trouble in disposing of the 2-13 Rams.
The Steelers remained tied with the Baltimore Ravens for first place in the AFC North Division. Pittsburgh can still win the division and get a first-round bye in the playoffs if it wins in Cleveland next Sunday and the Ravens lose in Cincinnati.
"Doug Legursky went down early in the game,'' Tomlin said. "We didn't have any problems with our center to quarterback exchanges. We were able to run the football. We declared fronts. I tip my hat to [Essex] and his efforts.''
Essex, a third-round draft pick in 2005 from Northwestern, had never really found a starting spot with the Steelers but stuck with the team for six seasons because of his ability to play multiple positions on the line.
The Steelers' faith in him, though, ran out this past summer when he went to Roethlisberger's wedding in July during the lockout and was overweight. The Steelers then chose not to re-sign him before the season.
"I think [the Steelers] saw me at Ben's wedding and didn't want to sign me,'' Essex said. "But that was the best thing that ever happened to me. I knew then I had to take care of my health. It was a lucky day for Ben and a lucky day for me.''
Essex said he has dropped 50 pounds since Roethlisberger's wedding and is still losing weight. The Steelers signed him earlier in the regular season, and he has worked his way back to being a valuable member of the team again.
In fact, Essex has played all five positions on the line at various points this season and has even played tight end. Saturday, though, was the first he's played center, and it came with a backup quarterback
"I was nervous as hell when Doug got hurt,'' Essex said. "I just kept thinking that I got to get the snaps to Charlie, and after the first three, four or five assignments, I quit thinking about that. That's best when you're not thinking.''
With the Steelers having just four days off between the loss in San Francisco and Saturday, Essex didn't get to work on snaps in practice as much as he may normally do with the scout team.
"A lot of credit goes to the other guys on the line,'' Essex said. "We were all on the same page.''
The line also had Jonathan Scott starting at right tackle for the demoted Marcus Gilbert and helped open holes for Steelers runners to produce their third-best rushing game of the season with 169 yards. Rashard Mendenhall ran for just his second 100-yard game of the year with 116 yards on 18 carries.
Mendenhall's 52-yard run in the second quarter set up a 10-yard touchdown run by recently promoted John Clay on his first NFL carry to give the Steelers a 10-0 advantage. Mendenhall and Isaac Redman later added short touchdown runs in the fourth quarter to seal the victory for the Steelers.
"I take my hat off to the offensive line,'' Redman said. "They've been banged up all year [and were] banged up again today. They were getting up on their guys, getting up on the second level, and Mendenhall was finding holes.''
The line also gave Batch enough time to complete 15 passes on 22 attempts for 208 yards. He also was not sacked in improving his record to 7-2 as a Steelers starter.
Batch made a Roethlisberger-like escape in the backfield and found Mendenhall for a 35-yard gain in the first quarter to set up a Shaun Suisham 21-yard field goal. He also completed 18- and 20-yard passes on the first drive of the second half, which led to a 49-yard Suisham field goal.
Batch also threw a 46-yarder to Mike Wallace and an 18-yarder to Heath Miller to set up the short touchdown runs in the fourth quarter.
"We're very comfortable with Chuck at quarterback,'' Essex said. "He knows the offense as good as Ben and as good as anyone in the locker room. We all have faith in him.''
The Steelers defense, playing without outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley (hamstring), also did its part by producing its second shutout of the season, and it was the fourth time in the last five games it held an opponent to less than 10 points.
Contributing to the Rams' scoreless effort were two missed Josh Brown field goals, a fake punt that backfired when Steelers returner Antonio Brown stopped punter Donnie Jones 1-yard shy of a first down, and a 22-yard catch by Brandon Lloyd early in the game that was ruled an incompletion after a Steelers challenge.
The only bright spot for St. Louis was a 103-yard rushing effort by bruising veteran Steven Jackson. Third-string quarterback Kellen Clemens threw for just 91 yards on nine completions.
"[The Steelers defensive players] bend, but they don't break,'' Jackson said. "That's something on the scouting report that we knew. They tend to get stiff once you approach their side of the field.''
The Steelers will now try and begin the new calendar year with a victory over the 4-11 Browns and then hope for some help from the Bengals. Tomlin said it was too early to begin speculating on the playing status of Roethlisberger, Legursky and others who were injured.
"Cleveland will play us tough,'' Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel said. "Who knows what all will happen? We're not concentrating on the other teams. We have one game to play - that's our focus.''

Keeping an open mind is good.
Nutrition isn't a scientific degree but biochemistry is. I actually wanted to be a nutritionist when I was in middle school then I realized it didn't have a phd program (the only thing I thought was worthy at the time... Parental influence). So I switched to wanting biochem and chem engineering. Hehe. XD

I saw the following article come across Twitter today.
In it, Robin Harris describes the issues around data recovery and secure erasure specific to SSD disks. In layman's terms, since SSDs do all sorts of fancy things with writes to increase longevity and performance, disk erasure is nearly impossible using normal methods, and forensic or malicious data recovery is quite easy. So if you have sensitive data being stored on SSDs, that data is at risk of being read by someone, some day, in the future. It seems that pretty much the only way to mitigate this risk is to use encryption at some level outside the SSD disk itself.
Did you know that EMC Symmetrix VMAX offers data-at-rest encryption that is completely transparent to hosts and applications, and has no performance impact? With Symmetrix D@RE, each individual disk is encrypted with a unique key, managed by a built-in RSA key manager, so disks are unreadable if removed from the array. Since the data is encrypted as the VMAX is writing to the physical disk, attempting to read data off an individual disk without the key is pointless, even for SSD disks.
The beauty of this feature is that it's set-it-and-forget it. No management needed, it's enabled during installation and that's it. All disks are encrypted, all the time.
- Ready to decomm an old array and return it, trade it, or sell it? Destroy the keys and the data is gone. No need for an expensive Data Erasure professional services engagement.
- Failed disk replaced by your vendor? No need for special arrangements with your vendor to keep those disks onsite, or certify erasure of a disk every time one is replaced. The key stays with the array and the data on that disk is unreadable.
If you have to comply with PCI and/or other compliance rules that require secure erasure of disks, you should consider putting that data on a VMAX with data-at-rest encryption.
Now, What if you have an existing EMC storage system and the same need to encrypt data? You can encrypt at the volume level with PowerPath Encryption. PowerPath encrypts the data at the host with a unique key managed by an RSA Key Manager. And it works with the non-EMC arrays that PowerPath supports as well.
Under normal circumstances, PowerPath Encryption does have some level of performance impact to the host however HBA vendors, such as Emulex, are now offering HBAs with encryption offload that works with PowerPath. If you combine PowerPath Encryption with Emulex Encryption HBAs, you get in-flight AND at-rest encryption with near-zero performance impact.
- Do you replicate your sensitive data to a 3rd party remote datacenter for business continuity? PowerPath Encryption prevents unauthorized access to the data because no host can read it without the proper key.

I recently read that Intel's newer consumer grade SSDs actually encrypt all data on the disk. When you request a low level format, all it does it throw away the old encryption key and generate a new one. You just have to hope there is no way to recover the previous key. 🙂
That could be pretty good for desktops and laptops… But generally, storage systems don't necessarily issue a low-level format. Especially since some of them (like EMC) use non-standard block sizes (like 520bytes). The built in mechanism is to write zeros across the drive, and for certified erasure, a separate appliance writes random data, etc over the disk multiple times.
If storage arrays were updated to take advantage of the built-in encryption of a disk, however, then the array could just issue a SCSI command or something to the disk to wipe it, and that would be pretty slick.
We've been asking for encryption at rest for Celerra (integrated) for ages, .. when is that coming ?
can those Gateway models be connected to a VNX or VMAX only ?
Correct if i am wrong but if i purchase a VNX right now, it comes with datamovers already ? So how do i purchase a VNX and say that i want encryption for my datamovers ?
You can purchase a VNX with or without NAS functionality built-in (if no NAS, then no datamovers are included). You would need to purchase the VG2 or VG8 gateway, attach it to the VNX via FC, and also order the Encryption option for the gateway. The integrated datamover's wouldn't be encrypted if they exist.
Thanks Richard, here is one for ya. Let's say i get a VNX with 2 datamovers for my "regular" class of storage. Then i buy 2 VG8 datamovers and connect them to VNX through the Brocade switch, as far as AVM i concerned ..it's oblivious to the fact that there is encryption going on at block level ? Any implications to FAST-VP , do i need separate pool on VNX ?
Now we're getting a little technical for a blog post.. AVM won't notice the encryption, and neither will the VNX. I don't think there would be any additional restrictions but we could check with support about it. You might need two FASTVP pools (one for the integrated movers and the other for the gateway) but I'd have to dig deeper on that. As an aside, the Encryption add-on includes Brocade switches, since they are actually doing the encryption. Feel free to email me if you like.
emailed your @mac address.
how will I know that D@RE is installed in my vmax?is there any command?

Our View: Dahlkemper sets positive tone
Kathy Dahlkemper gave insight into the tone she wants to set for her new administration as Erie County executive when she named her transition team and set up a website, www.erieforward.com, to solicit ideas from the public about how to improve government.
Her transition team included former state Sen. Jane Earll, lawyer Jim Walczak and Tina Mengine, vice president for university advancement at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania.
Citizens favor bipartisan cooperation at all levels of government, so Dahlkemper made a wise choice in adding Earll, a Republican, to her team on economic development. During her four terms in the Legislature, Earll was known for her ability to work across party lines to support projects that benefit the regional economy. "Local issues should not be partisan. And neither party has the only good ideas," Earll said when Dahlkemper announced the transition team on Nov. 22.
Dahlkemper said one of her top priorities will be operational efficiency, but a smoothly operating organization needs good people at the helm. That's why we are also impressed that Dahlkemper won't be making major personnel changes for the sake of it.
"I spent a lot of time with a number of these people. What I found is that they're dedicated to their jobs. ... I have confidence in their expertise, so I asked them to stay on with my administration," she said, referring to the heads of finance, personnel, planning, the Erie County Library, the Erie County Prison and the Public Defender's Office.
Not everyone is staying. Marcia Haller replaces Ron DiNicola as county solicitor. John DiMattio, director of the county's Drug & Alcohol Office, replaces Shari Gross as director of the Department of Human Services. John Grappy becomes interim public safety director, replacing Todd Geers until a permanent replacement is found.
The Department of Human Services encompasses the offices of Mental Health & Mental Retardation, Children and Youth, and Drug & Alcohol. Because a large portion of the county budget goes toward those functions and because reimbursements from state funding have been tight, it would be useful for Dahlkemper to explain to the public what her expectations are for DiMattio in his new job.
Dahlkemper will still have to make the case to Erie County Council that the county needs to create a new position of director of information technology. Before formally taking office, Dahlkemper stated that the new position should command a salary in the range of $80,000 to $100,000, prompting critics to attack the salary before the scope of the job is known. One reason the scope of the job is not known is because Erie County President Judge Ernie DiSantis opposes putting court IT employees under the centralized department. Dahlkemper will need to employ her tact and communication skills to see if DiSantis can be brought on board for this initiative and to persuade County Council that the suggested compensation figure is realistic.

'Messing around like a complete tool' in court
Published 30/01/2013 | 13:59
'YOU'RE down there all morning messing around like a complete tool!' So said Judge James O'Connor in apparent exasperation at the conduct of a young man who arrived in court unable to pay in full for his misdemeanours.
Donald Skinner, Gortadoo, Ballyferriter, was before the court in connection with a number of offences under the Road Traffic Act and the Public Order Act that occured in Dingle last year. He had been convicted of the offences at a previous sitting of Dingle Court and was to have paid €1,300 to the court by Friday. However, it transpired that while Mr Skinner had already paid €900, he was able to only come up with another €250 at Friday's court, leaving a balance of €150.
"Tell this fellow now to stop his messing," Judge O'Connor said in respect of the incomplete payment. He said that Mr Skinner had been given a ' ferocious chance' by the court at an earlier sitting in that he was given the opportunity to answer for his misdemeanours by way of making a payment rather than any other sanction.
Judge O'Connor appeared to be less than impressed with the defendant's behaviour during the Dingle court hearing on Friday.
"You're down there all morning, messing around like a complete tool!" he said. "Get the money and bring it back here. You're a messer."
Judge O'Connor adjourned the case for full payment until a later court sitting.

JERSEY SHORE - With each clip of the scissors, the Jersey Shore Area Middle School gave to those affected by cancer at a recent event.
Some were in the audience. Some they will never meet.
In all 10 students and two teachers sat in front of the entire school and showcased their willingness to donate their long locks to be made into wigs for cancer patients.

JOSEPH STENDER/Sun-Gazette
A total of 12 individuals at the Jersey Shore Area Middle School volunteered to donate their hair to be made into wigs for cancer patients. Above left, a student sits to have her hair cut. Above right, Nikki Euote, middle school teacher, has her hair cut to contribute to the fundraiser. The school raised more than $2,000 for cancer research.
"I just wanted them to learn what giving really is," explained Nikki Euote, middle school teacher who organized the event.
Euote was one of those who had her hair cut during the event - the third time she has done so for cancer patients. But instead of doing it by herself, she wondered if there were students that would be interested in doing so as well.
"I just made a broad announcement to the middle school that anyone willing to donate their hair could come to me on their own time at their own will," Euote said.
She wasn't expecting a large turnout, if any. But little by little, they came.
"I was surprised at five (students)," Euote said.
But then more came.
And after having discussions with their parents, 10 students committed to having their hair cut for the cause.
Euote said she couldn't believe the response.
"I was completely overwhelmed and surprised at the same time, but it was a good thing," she said.
With those on the middle school staff speaking about their bouts with cancer, an emotional assembly was only heightened as the students and teachers took their places on the gymnasium floors to have their hair cut.
Euote said all participants were "anxious" before the moment. And despite being nervous before hand, Euote said all were happy afterwards to have done it.
Euote hopes that the event will give students and staff pause on the true meaning of the holidays. And by having speakers talk about their experiences with cancer, she said it allows everyone to see that they all know someone that has been "touched by cancer."
The school also raised more than $2,000 for the American Cancer Society leading up to the event.
And for those who donated - Brianna Walters, Bryana Tebbs, Emily Lehman, Kayliegh Bowes, TK Humphries, Keri Goodreau, Heidi Koch, Skye Hamm, Courtney Meil, Ashely Nichols, Betty Jo Eberhart and Euote - their deeds did not go unnoticed.
"The best part of it (was) when the students that donated walked in the hallway, other students of the school were giving them high fives and telling them how they did a great thing," Euote said.

You could feel a deeper sense of caring and acceptance for those around you today. You might be more open and vulnerable than usual, which could allow you to connect more deeply with others. As a result, you might notice others being more attracted to you. While this could be beneficial for you, you might also want to think about setting personal boundaries so that you don't become overwhelmed with the extra attention or neediness of those approaching you. A good way to do this is by visualizing yourself with a tangible barrier that protects you from being bombarded with energy. You can also write out your intentions and reflect on them during a meditation today. It is important to specify which types of interactions you will welcome and which types you will not.
Setting emotional boundaries around ourselves can prevent unwanted intrusions and allow us to make the most of our interactions with others. Any interaction with others can initiate the transference of energy that will have an impact on us. Just like our moods can transfer to others and affect them, so also can the moods and attitudes of others affect us. When we are engaged in social interactions, it is a good idea to intentionally set emotional or even energetic boundaries around ourselves. This will help us to stay centered and self-contained, while still allowing us to enjoy our interactions with others. Setting emotional boundaries can help you feel strong and confident in your social activities today and shield you from unwanted emotional influences.

Rural Justice & Law Enforcement
The Criminal and Civil Divisions of the Department of Law are committed to improving justice in rural Alaska. The Department has rural offices in Barrow, Bethel, Dillingham, Kotzebue and Nome. All of these offices are staffed with at least two attorneys, a victim witness paralegal and a law office assistant. In Bethel, a major rural hub, there are seven prosecutors and two assistant attorneys general with four paralegals and four law office assistants. These people work diligently in aiding and instructing law enforcement personnel, including Village Public Safety Officers and village and tribal officers; providing local prosecutorial services and attorneys who work on child protective issues, issues relating to alcohol abuse importation and interdiction; and supporting the Governor's Choose Respect Initiative in fighting against child abuse, sexual assault and domestic violence.
The Department recognizes the recommendations of the Alaska Rural Justice and Law Enforcement Commission established by the United States Congress in 2004. The Commission made nine recommendations for improving rural justice: (1) Engaging in more partnerships and collaboration, (2) Making systemic changes to improve rural justice law enforcement, (3) Enlarge the use of community-based solutions, (4) Broaden the use of prevention approaches, (5) Broaden the use of therapeutic approaches, (6) Increase employment of rural residents in law enforcement and judicial services, (7) Build additional capacity, (8) Increase access to judicial services, and (9) Expand the use of new technologies.
The Department has also worked with the Alaska State Legislature to support rural communities regarding local alcohol option laws and improving state statutes regarding bootlegging. The legislation has provided funding for lawyers to work on interdicting alcohol headed for dry communities. The Department created a rural prosecution unit to assist rural district attorney's offices in complex cases and to provide backup staffing when needed. Our focus is to work with village residents to address their needs.

Sun-Gazette All-Star selections
April 5, 2008 - Chris Masse
A short while back a letter to the editor was written concerning the selection of the Sun-Gazette boys basketball all-stars and I wanted to clarify some things as I understand where this gentleman was coming from.
The point made was that even though players like Jersey Shore's Jon Boob and Montoursville's Travis Heap were First Team CSC-I all-stars they were only honorable mention on the Sun-Gazette's team. A further point made was that while players like Shikellamy's Brantley Osborne, Selinsgrove's Mike Ritter and Danville's Curtis Klein were first team CSC-I all-stars they were "snubbed" by the Sun-Gazette.
I'd like to address those issues on both fronts.
While Osborne, Ritter and Klein are terrific players they do not play for Sun-Gazette coverage area teams. That is why they are not included. If they were in the Sun-Gazette coverage area all three would have received some kind of recognition.
Second, while the CSC-I is a strong conference it is only one of many conferences included in the Sun-Gazette coverage area. We also cover the CSC-II, the Mid-Penn, the NTL and independent Williamsport. Neumann's Caleb Foust was the Mid-Penn Player of the Year, North Penn's Jessie Kriner was the NTL-West Player of the Year, while Mansfield's Tim Berguson was a first team NTL-West all-star and Williamsport's Isaiah Twine was one of the best all-around players in the district. They are only four of the high quality players in our area and all were on our first team so choosing a first team all-star squad is an arduous task when you have a quartet like that in addition to several other outstanding players from different conferences.
All together, the Sun-Gazette covers 25 boys basketball teams so there are first teamers in all the Sun-Gazette conferences that sometimes do not make our all-star team.
As the gentleman that wrote the letter said, all-star teams are a matter of opinion and that leads me to the Coach of the Year Award. While many conferences give the Coach of the Year to the coach of the league champion I like to look at how teams have progessed throughout the year and how teams exceeded expectations and things like that.
Williamsport was projected by many to struggle this season and many thought the Millionaires might not make the playoffs, especially after losing several talented players in the preseason. Still, Williamsport won 19 games, reached the state playoffs and nearly upset Class AAAA state champion Chester in the first round. I felt for that reason, Allen Taylor was Coach of the Year even though Nick Tagliaferri was the CSC-II Coach of the Year and also did a stellar job in leading Hughesville to its second district championship in three years. The difference for me was that Williamsport was supposed to struggle and Hughesville was expected to be a district title contender during the preseason. Again, though, it's a matter of opinion and those will vary but I wanted to explain the rationale behind my reasoning.
The all-star selection process is a difficult one and I try to see every team play, while also talking to coaches throughout the area for their thoughts. Not everyone will agree but one of the great things about sports is the debate it generates and when it comes to all-star teams there are always some great debates.

Do you hate cops or no?
These are the American cops in America.
I do, ****ers stopped me again because they always think everyone is on drugs. They need to all die, atleast the ones in my town. And I hate it when ever they stop you, you have to treat them like their kings or they'll go Rodney King on your ass no matter what skin color you are. (WE NEED BACK UP, WE CAN'T TAKE DOWN ONE PERSON BY OURSELF. LETS GET A BUNCH OF US TO BEAT UP ON 1 BLACK GUY)
So, I'm walking home from the movie theaters and I get pulled over by a cop that looks like Sam(Sean Astin) from the lord of the rings movies and he blantely lies and says I was pulled over because I was walking in the middle of the road(lie, I always walk on the sidewalk or as close as I can get to the curb because who the **** wants to get hit by a car?). Then his backup friend comes and says there's been burgalaries around the neighborhood and thats why I was pulled over(I'm sure thats another cop lie, since they use this line every time they harass me.)
I just wish for once these fudge packers would take off their badges and stop hiding behind a badge pretending their god when they're not. I'd love to just beat the blood out of the cops in my town. I wish more ppl shot and killed cops because most cops abuse their powers. They always harass people in my town, I've even seen on other forums how people always talk bad about my town because of how the cops always hassle them.
But to be honest, atleast these cops were in half-decent shape compared to some of the other cops I've seen in my town. When I don't see a fat cop, I'm impressed that they stay in shape. I consider myself to be in pretty decent shape too, still don't like the cops in my town.
Oh yeah, I'm on my hackintosh part of my computer so if there's alot of spelling mistakes in my sentences I apologize. For some odd reason my Hackintosh doesn't have spellcheck!
And yes I know some of you have family members who are cops, and I respect the good cops that actually try to do their job then spend the majority of their time just trying to see if people are on drugs.
The one cop asked me why I'm swetting, why the **** am I swetting? Lets see, I have heavy ass boots on, I'm walking and I have a jacket and some clothes on. It wouldn't be human not to swet. I should have ****ed with him and been like, I'm swetting cuz I'm cracked out on Herorin. It really pisses me off. Like go **** yourself losers, even if these two cops were in decent shape compared to fat ass cops.
I would not be afraid to tangle with anyone if they took off their badges.
I have an anger problem, I know but you guys don't know what its like to be hassled when you're walking or jogging from place to place. Even when I'm doing my workouts where I jog, I sometimes have a cop hassle me. I'm sick of these *******s. I'm kind of shocked that the cops in my town are looking in healthier shape, maybe its because they now finally have standards at hiring cops and you can't be a fat lard ass anymore.

Maybe I should thank ******* cops, because if it weren't for ****heads I wouldn't be in good shape at all. Everytime someones an annoying dick to me, it makes me train much harder. It's like a super power. Probably didn't help me out that I told them that I seen Harold and Kumar 3 because they probably automatically assumed I'm a druggy or pothead. I'm probably one of the healthiest people in the world when it comes to not doing drugs or alcohol. Last night I drank 1 ****ing beer and was buzzed because I never drink beer. And boy did that Fosters taste like utter ****.
I hate the taste of beer. I was only drinking a beer because I was celebrating Harold and Kumar movie. And The movie was only alright, I liked the first 2 the most. The new one had too much dick in it for my taste. I swear they showed more penis then breasts or any other female nudity. Maybe it will make the ladies happy but not me, I could have done with less penis and more naked chicks.

People who hate cops are the same people doing stupid shit like fighting over chicken in a fast food place with a machete. Then wonder why they are being harassed and arrested.

And when I was younger at the age of 15 or 16, they did an illegal drug search by placing their hand up my ass to see if I had a drug. They did not have a warrent on them, and my dad never got a lawyer for me.
