Hey Columbia, we see your petition, and we raise you a sandwich. We looked on with growing interest as you got this movement off the ground, and we get the feeling you won't stop until sandwich equality reigns supreme. You guys are quick-witted, and honestly, we're pretty impressed. We endorse your quest for a sandwich ambassador, and as a sign of solidarity, will place your petition in our store in the heart of Morningside Heights and offer a 10 percent discount on all sandwiches for anyone that signs. We are with you, and we support the move toward sandwich democracy.
But sandwiches are only part of the bigger issue here. This is about more than just meat between two pieces of bread. Because let's be real, we fully support the desire to eat a sandwich a day, but we think you deserve a whole lot more than that. It should be easier to eat well in school while you're cramming for your midterms and all you've got is a box of ramen. We know being a student is tough, and it's even tougher with the added financial burdens you face now and will continue to face when you're done with college. The options for cheap, good food are few and far between. It's true. But you hold the key to your own destiny and your own sandwich paradise.
What might have started as a joke within the Columbia community is actually a larger signal of food inequality and what's wrong with our current food system. Why is it so hard for people everywhere to get a delicious and fresh meal at lunch time—OK, anytime—without breaking the bank? We think it's time we fight this good fight together. Local movements to bring this issue to the table have already started in our neighborhood, specifically an interfaith group's SNAP challenge in October to raise awareness about the difficulty of living on food stamps. Because sometimes it's more than just a sandwich—sometimes it's the fresh fruit and produce that we all deserve but few of us see in our daily meals. We're not saying you shouldn't eat a sandwich a day, but an apple is certainly a good place to start.
It's time to equalize good, wholesome food, and we support bringing the highest quality food at an accessible price point to the masses. This is why we support a sandwich ambassador. Talk is cheap, but sandwiches are not. Let's teach people to eat and live well on a budget. Let's bring food literacy programs into schools where students, teachers, and parents alike can learn to feed themselves balanced meals at a low cost. Let's end the gap between food producers and food consumers. Let's end the gap between sandwich producers and sandwich consumers. Let's build a sandwich democracy together. You, me, and the sandwich ambassador leading us all to a better tomorrow, a tomorrow we hope will be filled with sandwiches.
We want to set an example for the future. Not just for sandwich eaters now, but for future sandwich eaters, and future sandwich eaters after that. We take pride in providing the Columbia community a farm-to-counter sandwich for less than $10. Take note, sandwich ambassador.

Marina All Suites Hotel
Long and narrow, hemmed in between mountainous tropical forest and the Atlantic Ocean, Rio is divided into two zones: North (Zona Norte) and South (Zona Sul). The two regions converge at the center of the city - the business, financial and historic seat of Rio. The Zona Norte is an industrial hub. The main point of interest is the Maracana football stadium and the National Museum. The famed Zona Sul, stretches south down the coast from the center, where you are able to find Corcovado, the mountain upon which the statue of Christ stands. It is a useful reference point. The statue is looking out over Botafogo to Sugar Loaf across the bay in Urca; to its left is Center of Rio. To its right is the Zona Sul. The Reboucas Tunnel runs directly underneath Corcovado and links Lagoa, Ipanema and Leblon with Downtown. Fashionable neighborhood of Leblon (where the Marina All Suites is located) and Ipanema lies between the ocean and the lagoon, Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas. Inland from the lagoon are the residential districts of Lagoa and Jardim Botanico. In downtown, the two main avenues, Avenida Presidente Vargas and Avenida Rio Branco run perpendicular to each other. Running south along the coast from the city center are the neighborhoods of Gloria, Flamengo, Botafogo, Leme, Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon, Sao Conrado, and Barra da Tijuca (home of the giant shopping malls and hypermarkets).

Time goes by in a flash, but photographs allow it to stand still. Your loved ones will appreciate seeing your past and present as you looks towards your future. This is an occasion worth reflecting on. Personalize one of these invitations today and share your smile with family and friends. Don't worry, semi-embarrassing baby photos are optional.
Oops! You've narrowed your search a little too much! Clear your search and try again.
One Moment Please
Some customers choose to incorporate just one 'money shot.' Typically this is professionally photographed or a high resolution photo that one has snapped with their own tools. If the one-photo option is appealing, color coordinating clothing pieces to the chosen design is a great way to create a cohesive look.
Another sophisticated option is a black and white or sepia-toned photo against a brightly colored announcement.
Multiple photos of the graduate through the years are always a popular choice, as well. These are best suited on bi-fold or tri-fold graduation announcements.
To incorporate the idea of a party more so into the announcement, create a mock photo booth with props at home for colorful, creative, and even humorous photographs. It'll allow personality to show through the design and get guests excited to celebrate. Provide a similar photo booth at the party so guests can take home keepsakes from the event.

Gun law rush 'appropriate'
Editor, OBSERVER:
According to the article "Goodell, Young feel sweeping gun law rushed in anger" (Jan. 18) well, when 20 first-graders and six school staff in the neighboring state of Connecticut are gunned down by a law abiding citizen, I think a gun law rushed in anger is appropriate.
Senator Young and Assemblyman Goodell what provisions did you not like in the Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act SAFE bill? You really did not mention one in the article.
Was it the bans on high-capacity magazines, background checks on buyers and on dealers who sell ammunition, the provision to include a mental health component, tighten the description on "assault" weapons?
Mr. Goodell you say "it was driven by political opportunism, rather than any real emergency." Forty-two gun related death everyday in America, this month over 900 gun related deaths.
This does not include the thousands injured by guns every day and the tremendous hospital costs associated with the shootings, mostly footed by taxpayers.
Gun violence is not an emergency! Mr. Goodell; tell that to the parents of Sandy Hook Elementary, and the loved ones of the two firemen killed in Webster. Sen. Young you stated "the bill went too far in penalizing law-abiding firearms owner who aren't causing the problem …" most of the mass shootings were done be "law-abiding firearms owners" people with no criminal record.
Why do police set-up road blocks near bars at night? Is it to harass law abiding drivers on their way home or to stop drunk drivers before they kill someone?
Is the wait for a background check that burdensome?
I am an advocate of the Second Amendment and I am not against gun ownership for hunting or personal protection. Making it easy for a mentally deranged person to attain a military style weapon is not good policy.
Criticizing bipartisan New York state lawmakers for rushing an important bill that can make us safer is not good leadership. If I have to wait a little longer to get my gun because of a background check, it will be worth the wait.
CASA's future
is in doubt
Editor, OBSERVER:
All agree that we have a moral and legal obligation to remove and protect children from homes where they have been neglected and abused. But what happens after a child is placed in foster care? We can breathe a sigh of relief because the child is safe but it is not over; it is a mistake to think all is well. It is the beginning of a long, lonely, confusing and often frightening journey.
Caseworkers, attorneys, counselors and foster parents are all essential parts of an overburdened system. Separation from siblings and friends, moving to a home with strangers, court rooms, new schools, endless questions, emotional upheavals and mental health issues are overwhelming issues for the child.
This is where CASA – Court Appointed Special Advocates – enters the picture. The trained CASA volunteer advocates for one child or sibling group at a time by getting to know the child, communicating with all of the adults and agencies involved, reporting to the Court, and monitoring the mental health, physical health, education and permanency plan for the child.
The CASA volunteer remains until the child is in a permanent, loving home.
The state Office of Court Administration which provides funding for CASA has announced that it is eliminating its $800,000 funding for CASA because of budget constraints. This is for the entire state of New York and out of a state proposed budget of $137 billion. Clearly there is an increasing need to preserve children's mental health, not elimination of vital programs.
Please call the Office of Court Appeals, Chief Judge Lippmann at (518) 455-7700 to urge him to not allow the elimination of CASA funding statewide, a program that has been life changing for thousands of children across the state.

Wonderwall Music is George Harrison's first solo album and the soundtrack to the film Wonderwall. The songs are virtually all instrumental (except for some non-English vocals, and a slowed-down spoken word track), and were recorded partly in December 1967 in England, and the rest the following January (1968) in Bombay, India. Wonderwall Music is notable for being the first official solo album by one of the Beatles. (The soundtrack of the film The Family Way, composed by Paul McCartney, was issued in June 1967, but the album contains only incidental music, not performed by McCartney.)
Also recorded during the Indian sessions was the backing track to "The Inner Light", which became the B-side to "Lady Madonna", the final Beatles single on Parlophone in the UK and Capitol Records in the United States.
Some of the musician's credits are pseudonyms for Harrison, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr. Harrison is listed merely as producer, arranger and writer for the album. Peter Tork of Monkees fame also played banjo, but was not credited.
All of the tracks were composed by Harrison, and it was the first album release on the newly formed Apple Records, released in November of 1968, a few weeks before The Beatles. It would also be the first Apple record to be deleted, though it was reissued on remastered CD in 1992.
In the CD liner notes, talking about the parts of the recordings done in India, Harrison is quoted, "They only had a big EMI mono machine. I mixed everything as we did it there, and that was nice enough becuse you get spoiled working on eight and sixteen tracks."
Harrison's description of the recording done in England is revealing, "I had a regular wind-up stopwatch and I watched the film to 'spot-in' the music with the watch. I wrote the timings down in my book, then I'd go to Abbey Road, make up a piece, record it."
Not charting at all in the UK, Wonderwall Music reached #49 in the U.S. in the early part of 1969.
Britpop band Oasis, well-known for their Beatles influences and motifs, had a major hit with a song called "Wonderwall" in the 1990s, whose title refers to this album.

I have a 2-year old PS3 40G. It has been working perfectly....THEN, two weeks ago, the Playstation Network took a shit and a day later was back online. Since the meltdown, my PS3 has been "Hiccupping" at certain times, jerking and jumping around. Doesn't do it all the time, but it has NEVER happened prior to the Network meltdown.
Two questions:
1. Anybody else experienced this and if so, what did you do?
2. Is there any routine maintenance on the PS3 a computer bozo like me should be doing?
Thanks for all your help...........

Mr. Speaker, Canadians are outraged that desperate Liberals have turned their guns on the Auditor General.
A Liberal member on the public accounts committee makes repeated efforts to distort the AG's concerns about the $100 million siphoned off to Liberal friendly ad agencies for little or no work. The President of the Treasury Board made an irresponsible statement in a bizarre attempt to minimize the $100 million figure. He hastily backed off when promised proof turned out to be a figment of his imagination.
The Prime Minister and the Liberal government have been caught red-handed in Liberal abuse of millions of tax dollars taxed from struggling Canadians. To escape justified anger, the Liberals are now trying to shoot the messenger by outrageous attacks on our respected Auditor General.
What does it say about a Prime Minister who engages in such disgusting tactics? Canadians will demand better in the coming election. The new Conservative Party is committed to cleaning up the Liberal mess. It cannot come soon enough.

Mr. Speaker, Canadians are celebrating the magnificent victory of Colleen Jones, Mary-Anne Arsenault, Nancy Delahunt and Kim Kelly on their gold at the women's world curling championships. Congratulations are also in order for the bronze won by the Canadian men's team, also from Halifax, of Mark Dacey, Bruce Lohnes, Robert Harris and Andrew Gibson.
For the Jones team there is no resting on their laurels. As the twice over world champions and six-time Canadian champions, they prepare to make their bid in Halifax to represent Canada at the 2006 Olympics.
Haligonians and all members of Canada's Parliament extend heartiest congratulations and thanks for putting Canada on top of the world.

Pierre Paquette Joliette, QC
Mr. Speaker, this morning the Bloc Quebecois released the third report of the committee chaired by Jacques Léonard, this time on the evolution of federal transfers to the provinces and to individuals. There are two main findings.
When the current Prime Minister was the finance minister, transfers for health, education, and social assistance decreased in Quebec, while they continued to increase in other Canadian provinces. The same is true for individuals with respect to employment insurance.
Moreover, during that same time, the Prime Minister of Canada mismanaged the national debt by quickly paying down the federal debt—the least costly portion—thereby causing an increase in debt for the governments of Quebec and the provinces.
From this study and the two previous ones, it is quite clear that the current Prime Minister has contributed to financially choking Quebec and that year after year, under the federal system, Quebeckers are increasingly losing the ability to determine their own future.
New Minas, Nova Scotia
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Scott Brison Kings—Hants, NS
Mr. Speaker, the village of New Minas, Nova Scotia has a long history that can be traced back to 1604, but it is the explosive growth of recent years that confirms its attractiveness as a great place to live.
The National Post newspaper, however, chose to portray the village in a different way. In a recently conducted survey, the newspaper invited readers to name the "crappiest town in Canada". Based on a single anonymous letter, it picked New Minas as the winner.
New Minas is the home to the challenging Ken-Wo golf club. It is home to the largest annual soccer tournament in Atlantic Canada and is known as Canada's soccer capital. It has an abundance of recreational facilities and over 300 commercial outlets for eager shoppers.
It is truly the residents who make this community great. Earlier this month New Minas feted its volunteers at a volunteer luncheon. I salute them for making New Minas a great place to live. The National Post newspaper would do well to retract its slam on this community and salute their efforts too.

Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to bring to the attention of the House the names of this year's outstanding citizen awards in Kelowna.
Woman of the Year, Beryl Itani; Man of the Year, Mel Kotler; Athlete of the Year, Sarah Charles; Team of the Year, the Kelowna Rockets; the Bob Giordano Memorial Award for sports volunteerism, Ken Wilson; Young Citizen of the Year, Rachel Leier; the Augie Ciancone Memorial Award for high school athletes, Katie Woodman and Kyle Murphy; KADAC honour in the arts, Roslyn Frantz, and in teen honours, Devin Roth; Organization of the Year, the emergency social services team; the Anita Tozer Memorial Award for outstanding community service, the city staff and firefighters of the emergency operations group.
Congratulations to all. They exemplify the heart and soul of our community. We thank them for their leadership and commitment.
Yemen Water Project
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Progressive Conservative
Joe Clark Calgary Centre, AB
Mr. Speaker, I draw to the attention of the House the signing by a Calgary company, Canadian Nexen, of the first community water project in the Middle East under the UN secretary-general's new global compact initiative. The pilot project in the rural village of Rassib in Yemen will be a model for other communities.
In rural Yemen only 17% of the people have access to safe water. Hygiene practices are poor. Sanitation and waste disposal facilities are inadequate. Children are particularly susceptible to water-borne diseases.
The agreement was encouraged by the government of Yemen and was signed in Sa'ana on April 24. Canadian Nexen will contribute up to $1 million U.S., and the UNDP up to $500,000 U.S.
As a corporate citizen, Canadian Nexen sets high standards for Canada and the world. Now it is taking the lead in making the UN's global compact initiative a reality, fighting poverty and improving the basic health of thousands of people in a part of the world where Canada can make a significant difference.

Serge Marcil Beauharnois—Salaberry, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Government of Canada recently launched the One-Tonne Challenge, which calls on Canadians to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by one tonne, or roughly 20%.
The challenge is to think about the little things we do each day and the more important choices we make less often, such as buying a new lawnmower. Until May 2, Home Depot stores across Canada, through the Mow Down Pollution campaign by the Clean Air Foundation, are offering Canadians the opportunity to get rid of their old gasoline mower and receive a rebate of up to $100 on the purchase of an electric, push power, or low emission gas mower.
In so doing, they will be taking a step toward meeting the One-Tonne Challenge.
University of Ottawa

Don Boudria Glengarry—Prescott—Russell, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would be remiss if I did not mention an event as important as the 50th anniversary of the University of Ottawa's civil law program.
Last week, some 350 graduates of this program gathered together in the capital to mark this important milestone in the history of the university.
The most illustrious graduates of this program include of course the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada and her colleague, Michel Bastarache. A total of 13 provincial and federal current ministers are graduates of the University of Ottawa's civil law program.
I would invite hon. members to join me in urging Dean Louis Perret to continue the excellent work that has produced such fine results.

Mr. Speaker, when the Liberals' secret national unity fund was revealed last month, the Minister of Finance assured this House that it amounted to only $40 million per year. However, we have learned today that the federal government actually spent twice the finance minister's original estimate.
My question is simple. Why did the Minister of Finance mislead this House regarding the size of this secret fund?

Mr. Speaker, more money, just like CSL all over again.
It is clear that this so-called unity fund was used when the Liberals wanted to hide questionable spending from Canadians: $4.5 million to top up the sponsorship program; $3 million for ministers to campaign in western Canada; $4.5 million to supposedly fight Quebec separatism in Europe, now all double the amount the minister claimed.
Why does the Prime Minister not simply come clean and admit to Canadians that the unity fund was a secret Liberal slush fund to hide questionable spending?

Pierre Pettigrew Minister of Health
Mr. Speaker, this reserve was absolutely not secret. The very first time questions were put to the Prime Minister in the House by the member for Roberval, the Prime Minister acknowledged its very existence.
It has been very helpful. It helped the battlefield of the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City. It was a very solid investment to promote bilingualism in New Brunswick. It helped les Jeux de la Francophonie as well. It has done a lot of good in prolonging and extending some very legitimate programs in this country.

Stephen Harper Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, if it was so legitimate, it would have been front and centre in the government's spending reports for the last 10 years.
Over the last 10 years the Liberal government has funnelled about half a billion dollars into the unity slush fund. That is in addition to the quarter billion dollars on the fraudulent sponsorship program; $1 billion for HRDC boondoggles; approaching $2 billion for the gun registry fiasco; and of course the money that went to Canada Steamship Lines. On all of these things, the Prime Minister claimed he knew nothing about the way the spending was going.
Why did the Prime Minister not speak up when all of these questionable cheques were being signed in the first place?

Pierre Pettigrew Minister of Health
Mr. Speaker, I was just drawing the attention of the Leader of the Opposition to the great work of this reserve used by the prime minister to help bilingualism. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? The Conservative leader, the real alliance leader, will not tell us whether he supports bilingualism. He will not tell us whether he believes that doing that promotion in New Brunswick was a good or a bad thing, so much so that the member from Calgary does not want that guy to become the prime minister of Canada because--

Chairman of the USA Team Handball Board of Directors, Jeff Utz, announced today the selection of veteran USA handball player and AAC representative, Matt Van Houten, as the new USATH General Manager. The Board of Directors voted in Van Houten after months of searching and interviewing various candidates. The Board carefully considered Van Houten and a second finalist a week ago. The interviews were conducted confidentially, with the Board refusing to disclose the name of the other finalist.
Current General Manager Dave Gascon has known Van Houten for many years and holds him in high regard, "Matt Van Houten is a good man. The handball community, our membership, and our national team players will find him easy with whom to work and a man of integrity. He has years of involvement working with the US Olympic Committee, which should greatly benefit USA Team Handball. Mariusz (Wartalowicz) and I are looking forward to spending time with Matt to catch him up to speed on all the great things going on in our sport."
Gascon indicated he has already spoken with Van Houten about the highest priority issues facing USATH and expects him to take over leadership responsibilities by November 1.
Matt Van Houten is an attorney licensed in both Colorado and New York. He served as the Chair of the USOC Athletes' Advisory Council from 2009-2012 and the AAC representative for the sport of Team Handball from 2005-2008. During his tenure as Chair of the AAC, Van Houten served on the Tagliabue Panel, which was responsible for the 2010 USOC Bylaw reform, the NGB/AAC Best Practices Task Force, and the USOC CEO search committee. Van Houten is currently a member of the USOC Paralympic Advisory Committee. Van Houten has extensive experience with USA Team Handball, serving as a member of the Board of Directors, as well the general counsel for USA Team Handball from 2005–2006.
Van Houten graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1989 and Albany Law School of Union University in 1995. Van Houten was quite a player in his day, and was a member of the USA Team Handball Men's National Team from 1990–1992 and from 2002–2007. Van Houten competed in the 1991 Pan American Games in Havana, Cuba, and the 2003 Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, earning a bronze medal in each of the two competitions. He is a member of the New York Athletic Club handball team, and has been a part of numerous national championship teams both for NYAC and Knight Air.
He has a daughter, Cody, who is currently a freshman at the University of Colorado in Boulder.

Yeah, I said, "howdy." What of it?
Thought I'd introduce myself, since I've been doing some chatting.
I love a good cup of tea (particularly partial to genmai cha, even though there are sexier tea-based beverages) and have deemed the ingenuiTEA a quality of life improvement at the office here lately.
I speak mediocre Spanish, program in Python for a living, find "Thai hot" a little tame, am working on my golf game, and have about concluded that my otherwise good cat is possessed by some demon.

Paintball as a Sport-1000th post!
Posted 31 January 2013 - 11:49 PM
Earlier today I was talking to a friend about stuff, and this girl that I teased/hit on walked by and overheard me saying: "Yeah I got paintball practice this Saturday, and a scrimmage with this other team on the day after, so we can't go watch the Hobbit for the 6th time." In which she busted in and, amongst other things regarding personal burns, proceeded to say "....and you go around acting all athletic when you haven't played soccer in a year and you think you're so manly because you play paintball, which isn't even a sport." I know, ouch?
Due to my respect towards personal image and the image of paintball, I did not reply in any manner that involved things like trying justify it as a sport or show proof that I play in an intense division with prizes and tournies and stuff. I just said, "Well, it's actually a sport." In which my friend whom I was talking to butted in and said that she kind of agreed with her. Oh well, The Daniel can't win everything, despite his obvious perfection.
Later on in the day, I proceeded to Google 'Is paintball a sport', and go on Youtube for Mike's video on it. Upon watching it, I noticed he tried to tell paintball as more of a woodsball/milsim/scenario game. This got me thinking:
Is the image and our attempts at being called a sport being hindered by Woodsball and the culture it presents? Now I am by no means a woodsball hater (accused of being a Tippmann hater though), I like it, but do not play it often. However, I know about the stereotypical player in woodsball, and I also know that the majority of people getting into the sport start with woodsball. I also know that Woodsball is the image most people who are unfamiliar with the sport, but at least know about it, have of Paintball. Which saddens me, as this means they fail to see it as a competitive sport. This is my reasoning as to why I believe woodsball is hindering progression of paintball to be in something such as the X-Games.
Now, I understand that there is woodsball tournaments and leagues, and I understand that woodsball is an integral part of paintball, and I do not by any means that it should be removed.
But I do believe that we should switch the roles of the two forms of paintball. Speedball(this is a term generalizing all competitive paintball involving inflatable bunkers) is generally viewed as the specialty part, minor and a different, ALTERNATIVE form of the TRADITIONAL style of paintball. Although this is far from the truth, this is what is seen by the public. Woodsball is seen as the majority of paintball, and is mostly milsim guys in camo hunting each other down with military-esque tactics and strategies.
I think to improve the image and validity of the sport, the roles should be switched, at least to society's eyes, if not ours. Speedball should be seen as the majority and being seen as the main form of paintball as it is more of the sport style(sponsors, supporters, events, spectators, definite field and regulations, complex rules, prizes, tournament setups, spectator friendly, etc.), whereas woodsball should be the alternative, lesser known form that still strongly exists, but not as much so to the public eye. All this talk of tactics, milsim guns, roles, positions, camo, etc., is just pushing them away from believing paintball is a sport, and hindering progress.
This in no way bashing woodsball. Please, a just idea should be followed by equally just and polite comments. Do not turn this into a flame war. TechPB, you're not PBNation, please don't act like it.

but, paintball will never be accepted as a stream sport in the US for a couple of reasons... one being that US culture wont accept a "shooting sport" as mainstream, because our culture is terrified of anything "gun" related... the other major set back being us players... until we as players start respecting ourselves and our fellow ballers, both male and female, we cant get the respect we demand from the public... and they will just see us as the gun toting wanna be GI Joes shooting each other up in the woods...

It does make it harder to argue that paintball is a legitimate sport but without it our industry would be no where near where it is today. Simply put we are much better off with it then without it.

I used to play league softball. But when I went, I didn't go play a Sport of baseball - I played a Game of baseball.
Just like softball, paintball is athletic and competitive and fulfills every requirement of being a Sport.
Yet you still play a "Game".
This is true is most venues. A football Game is just a game, but still practiced as a Sport.
Less than 10% of paintball players are active on the circuit. The vast majority of paintball happens when there's no prize money or trophy to be had, it's just people playing a game.

I play basketball through my school and D2 paintball and when I came to explaining paintball to my girlfriend and the tournament side, I couldn't begin to explain how in some ways, paintball is harder than basketball.
Basically the way I look at it; is airball/xball-organized paintball played with a team on the speedball field a sport? Hell yes! Practice every weekend for 8-9 months out of the year atop all of the physical training off the field to play upper level divisional paintball is hard. There's a lot of thinking involved and stamina to play back to back points. Not to mention the money and commitment involved, tournament paintball is one of the most demanding overall sports I can think of.
As for the people that look at paintball as a weekend hobby, thats what it is for them. Paintball is an awesome thing where it almost conforms around the player. I love every aspect of playing d2 paintball and other people love going out once every month and having a good time.

I honestly don't care if paintball is called a sport or not, nor if it gets a ton of notoriety. As long as it exists, I'll play it. If people want to talk down to me because of it, that's their issue. I would've just told that bitch to butt out of our conversation.

This is entirely true. I usually play at SC village where last weekend the UWL held an event there with Dynasty playing in it.
I like how people seem to be unaware that there are fairly high caliber scenario leagues as well as airball leagues. UWL for example
My point above, and I'm not sure if you were directly talking about my opinion, is that airball seems easier for the general, non paintball playing public to view as a sport without going deeper into paintball.
There is a recreational side to paintball and a smaller tournament side to paintball. Its like skateboarding, you can either skate for fun or you can take it seriously and become the next tony hawk.

Dreadlocks with volume for men
Long, naturally brown hair with blonde streaks is coiled into shoulder-length dreads. No particular pattern on the scalp is followed, and the dreads fall down on either side of the face. The blonde shows through on some coils, and picks put the dark, well-groomed moustache and beard. The face is totally left free pf hair, and any facial hair has to be essentially shaped well and defined. Dreads are one way of creating a different kind of volume for the hair, and maintenance takes a bit more than hair just simply styled.

Monitoring and Reporting IT Security Risk
One of the chief problems facing organizations serious about risk management is the fact that risk changes constantly. Risks increase, diminish or evolve in scope according to a number of factors, including technology changes, business changes, and organizational strategy and direction changes. As changes come faster and faster because of increases in the pace of technical innovation and business agility, the overall level of risk for any organization rises. This puts organizations that want to approach risk systematically in a bit of a quandary — specifically, how can changes to risk level be monitored and reflected in future practices and defenses? What risk monitoring and reporting techniques are timely enough to allow organizations to take action? (S6720313)

Camera Club gets ready for summer photography, plans train exhibit
JAMESTOWN – The Chautauqua County Camera Club will hold its next monthly meeting at the Prendergast Library from 6 to 8 p.m. today. This meeting, like all their meetings, is open to members of the community who have an interest in photography and photo editing software.
May marks the end of the first six months for the club as well as a turning point in the season. Until now, club members have been discussing basic camera techniques and digital darkroom techniques using various software packages as well as participating in photo walks of some of the areas historical buildings. April's photo subjects consisted of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Sts. Peter and Paul Church, and the newly remodeled Gateway Train Station.
Members will be showing off the photos that were produced during these walks and discussing the various techniques used in trying to capture both artistic and realistic representations in low light scenes such as these. There will also be a showing of some of the members' favorite shots taken during the month of April from members who were not able to participate in the photo walks.
The second half of the evening will be a kickoff to outdoor photography. Now that the weather is becoming favorable, the club will be discussing possible photo tours of Chautauqua County and its beautiful landscapes and historical buildings. In preparation for shooting outdoors, the members will discuss how to prepare for their camera bag with necessary equipment, considerations to take when shooting various nature scenery, the best time of day to get the warmest shots, and other tips that will improve the chance of getting the perfect photos when venturing outdoors.
Finally, the Chautauqua County Camera Club would like to invite members and the community to put together any photography related to trains or railways that can be displayed at the National Train Day event on May 11. This is an opportunity to show off your passion for trains and participate in the first of what hopes to be a tradition at the Gateway Train Station. The club will have a display at the train station during the event and would love to include as much work as possible for the many visitors that will be drawn to the area.
To participate, contact the club by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com and including the subject "National Train Day Photos."
The Chautauqua County Camera Club meets at the Prendergast Library in the Fireplace Room from 6 to 8 p.m. on the first Wednesday of every month and welcomes anyone in the community who would like to attend and learn more about photography and digital photo editing. More information about the club can be found at its website: chautauquacountycameraclub.com.

Results tagged "gerard alessandrini" from Drama Queen
Finally made it to New York yesterday (first time this season) and saw The 39 Steps. The show, a farcical, campy, reimagining of Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 romance/suspense/thriller, won one of the five Tony Awards for which it was nominated (Best Lighting) and was praised effusively by Ben Brantley in the New York Times. I settled into my seat with high expectations and the lingering frisson of excitement that still hits every time I head into the business end of the Lincoln Tunnel.
So all the greater was my disappointment when the production was halfway as good as it could have been, with a set design halfway as creative as several Philly Fringe shows I'd seen, and with a halfway committed cast running on autopilot. At intermission, my companion (and provider of my ticket) St. Paul Pioneer Press theater critic Dominic Papatola, remarked, "Well, this is a strange little show for Broadway."
Strange indeed, and not in a good, gatecrashing, Passing Strange, kind of way. Rather, it was strange that of all the shows in the English-speaking world to choose to pick up and mount on Broadway, why should this bit of West End escapist fluff that seems plucked from the rounds of regional repertory theaters--an Irma Vep with a bigger cast and less ingenuity--be anointed? Mind you, I have nothing against fluff, even if it arrives during an era ripe for meatier fare (witness August: Osage County's success on that front). But this fluff? Really?
Following the show, we indulged in a discussion of Broadway's current impotence and regional theater's growing virility, which is all well and good, considering we're both covering theater in our respective regions. But while it's nice to be smug about your city's healthy theater scene, the power of the regional theater inferiority complex is such that you still wonder if in the face of the Manhattan machine, your hometown triumphs are merely the result of boosterism and provincial pride.
Well, guess not. In this weekend's announcement of the closing of Forbidden Broadway, its founder, Gerard Alessandrini cited plain old boredom as the reason for shuttering his nearly 30-year-old star-skewering satirical institution.
"When Broadway becomes too theme-park-like, it makes it difficult, and it just looks like it's becoming overly commercial the next couple of years," he said.
When it's not even fun to make fun of Broadway anymore, something is terribly wrong. Visiting New York should be like opening a compendium of the best new American plays and musicals instead of walking down memory lane, or even worse, walking straight down the middle of the road to Broadwayland. A revival here and there is fine, but you don't end up getting a Gypsy or All My Sons in the first place by only banking on the tried and true. One look at the 1956 Tony nominations (or even the 1976 nominations), packed with original productions of original ideas and well, compared to this season's lukewarm musicals and revivals of revivals, perhaps it's best to avert your eyes. Or hey, look elsewhere--like to regional producers--for guidance.

File and Network I/O using Win32 and .NET API's on Windows XP™
April 2005
Jim Gray, Peter Kukol
In 2005 we update the Windows I/O studies in light of changes over the last 5 years. The modern studies use SATA disks, and use both native and unmanaged C++, and managed C# code (running on top of the .NET Runtime).
The basic conclusions of this 2005 study are as follows:
The updated diagram at right summarizes some of these speeds. It is based on the original Riedel 1997 study (below).
Here are the supporting documents:
· A report describing the SATA disk I/O measurements: SataDiskIO.doc (875 KB MS Word file).
· A document explaining the best approaches to doing file I/O using the .NET framework: Sequential File Programming Patterns and Performance with .NET (MS Research Technical Report MSR-TR-2004-136).
· A report discussing some of the findings of our trans-continental GB/sec disk transfer effort: Sequential Disk IO Tests for GBps Land Speed Record (MS Research Technical Report MSR-TR-2004-62).
· A collection of programs (each includes a Visual Studio 2003 project with source code and an x86 executable) to measure disk, network and memory speed (plus a few helper utilities):
1. The DiskSpd program to measure disk bandwidth (DiskSpd.zip).
2. The NetSpd program to measure network bandwidth (NetSpd.zip).
3. The MemSpd program to measure memory bandwidth (MemSpd.zip).
4. The GenFile program to quickly create large disk files with randomized content (GenFile.zip).
5. The DumpFile program displays sections of arbitrarily large files in hex and/or ASCII (DumpFile.zip).
Study of Random and Sequential IO on Windows 2000™

Robert Horst, 3Ware
In 1997, Riedel, van Ingen, and Gray did a study of sequential IO on Windows NT 4.0 (see 2nd half of this page). We repeated that study and generalized it to include random IO, IDE as well as SCSI disks, and also RAID and network (CIFS/SMB) IO. The basic conclusions of the study are:

1997 Study of Sequential IO on Windows NT 4.0™
High-speed sequential file access is important for bulk data operations typically found in utility, multimedia, data mining, and scientific applications. High-speed sequential IO is also important in the startup of interactive applications. Minimizing IO overhead and maximizing bandwidth frees power to process the data. The goals of this study were twofold:
The report shows that NTFS out-of-the box read and write performance is quite good, but overheads for small requests can be quite high. The best performance is achieved by using large requests, bypassing the file system cache, spreading the data across many disks and controllers, and using deep-asynchronous requests.

Commentary on:
Implications for practice and research
Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is associated with cognitive decline.
Early identification and remediation may offset or delay the onset of incident dementia.
Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of interventions including counselling, hearing aids, cognitive training and social support will elucidate best practice.
Even mild ARHL should not be ignored.
As the world's ageing population increases, rates of incident vascular and Alzheimer-type dementias in the USA are projected to nearly triple from their 2010 levels by 2050.1 ARHL is also expected to increase sharply from the 48 million Americans who currently suffer from hearing loss.2 Demonstrating an independent association of ARHL with cognitive impairment and resultant dementia, as Lin and colleagues …
