Gaining Weight
Hey as it stands now im 6'1 158 pounds. I wanna gain weight....yes gain not lose. But i have such a fast matabolism i could eat mcdonalds 3 times a day and not gain weight. Basiclly i wanna know what kinda foods i should eat to gain healthy weight....not chocolate bars and fast food. i Train about 3 hours a day. Any insight would help thanks
IT will take about 1.5-2.0 grams of protein per pound of body weight. Complex carbs is anywhere between 2.0-3.5 grams per pound of body weight. Slowly work your way up in calories til you hit about 6000 a day. Eating a nicely portion meal every 2.5-3 hours. with snack meals inbetween those..
Ease off any intense cardio for awhile, and cut back on the gym 3 hours is way to much even if your multi setting different body parts.
If your old enough look to cycle a pre workout drink, a post workout drink, and a protein shake after training.
Typical gains will be about .25% muscle gain to 1% muscle gain a month unless your juicing or spending hude amounts of $$ on supplements.
It i snot the most healthy way but I know a lot of wrestler who shocked their metabolisms and thus slowed them down by eating once a day very lightly for a few weeks. This spits in the face of logic but as soon as you eat normal again you gain weight because you mind tells you you might not eat again and stores the calories.
Drink atleast 3 Protein shakes a day.(25 grams each)
Take Creatine
Take Glutamone
Eat lots of everything
Lift heavy 6 to 10 reps on every lift, except when you are warming up.
You will definitely gain weight and mass if you do this for 3-4 months.
It's a long answer, but trust me, it will help!
You're an ectomorph, so you need to lift weights that are at least 75% and above of your max. Ectomorphs typically have more Type IA muscle fibers (smaller fibers - like the types long-distance runners utilize), so your ultimate goal is to stimulate your Type IIB (large muscle fibers - like the ones used by football running backs and bodybuilders) as much as possible. Lifting weights that are at least 75% of your max will stimulate these muscle fibers.
Lift 3 or 4 times per week.
Also, because you have a high metabolism, don't do cardio while you're trying to gain mass.
Start by taking your lean body mass (total body weight - your total body fat) and multiply it by 20. So if you're 158 and 10% body fat, then your LBM is 158 x (1-0.1) = 142.2. 142.2 x 20 = 2844 calories per day. This is a great starting point for ectos.
Also, you should eat every 3 hours to keep the body constantly nourished so that it will grow. Each meal should consist of lean proteins, fibrous carbs, and healthy fats (except your last meal, your pre-sleep meal, should be a slow-digesting protein and a healthy fat - a good one is cottage cheese with some nuts or healthy oil).
Diet Ratios & Calculation
For most ectos, you should eat at least 1.5 times your body weight in protein. The diet math above will easily take care of that.
30% of daily calories from protein
40% from carbs
30% from fats
* 2800 calories x 30% = 840 calories
* 840 calories / 4 calories per gram of protein = 210g of protein per day
* 210g of protein per day / 6 meals per day = 35g of protein per meal
* 2800 calories x 40% = 1120 calories
* 1120 calories / 4 calories per gram of carbs = 280g of carbs per day
* 280g of carbs per day / 5 meals per day (I'm using 5 because I don't consume carbs on the last meal before I sleep) = 56g of carbs per meal
* 2800 calories x 30% = 840 calories
* 840 calories / 9 calories per gram of fat = 93g of fat per day
* 93g of fat per day / 6 meals per day = 15.5g of fat per meal
Now before you freak out, I know that looks like a lot of fat at each meal. GOOD fats are healthy for the heart, and the only way the body creates testosterone is from monounsaturated and saturated fats. As long as you're eating, even lean poultry or beef, the amount of sat fat consumed will ultimately be converted into testosterone - not deposited in your arteries or on your stomach.
I think a person should always have a "yes" list of protein, carbs, and fat. Simply choose foods from that list and be creative with your meals. For example:
* Extra lean ground beef (at least 93% lean)
* Extra lean ground turkey breast (I've even seen 99% ground turkey breast)
* Venison (deer - most cuts)
* Buffalo/Bison (most cuts and ground meat are very lean)
* Turkey breast
* Chicken breast
* Fish (virutally all fish are super lean and super healthy)
* Milk
* Fat-free cheese (Kraft and Borden make fat-free sliced and shredded cheese)
* Whey protein
* Cottage cheese/casein protein (casein is the powdered form of cottage cheese)
* I don't recommend pork; maybe only if you're going to eat an extra lean pork loin
* Vegetables (virtually all vegetables are just fine; many are low in calories and high in fiber)
* Fruits (fresh only, but check the GI ratings, some are very low, but some such as dates and cherries are very high)
* Beans (any bean)
* Whole wheat breads (Sometimes, you can look for high-fiber breads; I eat one made by Mrs. Baird's that has 6g of fiber per slice)
* Brown rice (brown rice is preferred, most white rices digest VERY quickly)
* Basmati rice or Uncle Ben's rice (the 2 slowest-digesting rices on the planet)
* Dry oats/oatmeal (no sugar versions)
* Pasta (whole wheat is preferred, but there's nothing wrong with normal pasta)
* Udo's 3-6-9 Oil Blend
* Flaxseed oil
* Extra virgin olive oil
* Chili oil
* Sesame oil
* Sesame chili oil
* Sunflower oil
* Fish oil
* Nuts (virtually any nut is fine)
* Avacado
* Fish (most fish have a great amount of omega-3 fatty acids)
* I don't add canola oil; it's a highly processed oil. Try to avoid processed foods
I can't stress this enough. The ONLY time the body builds muscle is while you're sleeping. Get at least 8 hours of sleep every night if you want to grow.
Additional Notes
* Your goal should be compound progression - meaning, work to get stronger EVERY week that you go to the gym. If you don't work to get stronger, you're wasting your time.
* Prior to your workout, make sure that you eat a slow-digesting carb so that you give your body a constant release of energy throughout the workout. Drinks like Gatorade will cause your strength to crash later in the workouts. I always make a protein shake consisting of whey protein, dry oats, and flaxseed oil.
* Keep your workout sessions 1 hour or less. More isn't always better.
* Have a recovery shake immediately after you're done lifting. When you lift weights, cortisol levels rise rapidly in the body, leading to catabolism (breakdown of muscle tissue for energy). Ingesting a fast-digesting carb combined with whey protein drink curves this, gives your body an insulin spike, which triggers the body to release HGH (Human Growth Hormone) and the muscle-building hormone, IGF-1. These will remain elevated for about 36 hours, so your body is highly anabolic during that time period. Great time to eat big! I have 75g of dextrose and 1 scoop (24g) of whey protein as my immediate post-workout shake.
* Your 2 largest meals of the day should be breakfast and post workout.
* Change up your routine at least every 6 weeks. This should help you avoid strength and size plateaus that are so common with most lifters.
* If you're not gaining any weight after 3 weeks, increase your daily calories by 400 (keeping the same 30/40/30 ration) and try again.
* For every 10 pounds of LBM that you gain, increase your daily calories by 400 (keeping the same 30/40/30 ration).
* I know a lot of skinny guys who fear going into the gym because they're worried about what others think of them. Just remember, almost EVERYBODY is in the gym because they are dissatisfied with their bodies.
There's a lot more behind the science of bulking that what I mentioned, but hopefully this will give you some ideas that will help you get started on your journey. I was 120 pounds and 5'7" when I graduated high school so I know how you feel! Simply put, if you you don't eat enough, sleep enough, and lift heavy enough, you won't gain muscle.
Good luck man!

Hey thanks for all the great info. i was just wondering when you said skip cardio when trying to gain weight you mean just Intense cardio...
like my schedule is
Monday-MMA 1.5 hours
Tuesday- I Lift
Wed- MMA 1.5 hours
Thursday-Jiu Jitsu
Friday- Lift and Light Jiu Jitsu
Sat- Muay thai 1.5 hours and jiu jitsu
Sun- Lift
If these sessions are gonna tax my progress should i stop some....or can i just obviously add more calories to make up for what im burning?
In your case, you haven't any choice, so just make sure you're eating more calories to replace those calories.
For example, a 150 pound person cycling at about 75% of their max heart rate for 1 hour will burn approx. 500 calories. As a good estimate, rolling JJ would be 500 calories per hour at your weight, so on the days that you do your training, add 500 calories per hour that you train. Keep the 30/40/30 ratio when you increase your calories. Be sure that you have a good-healthy meal consisting of lean protein, slow-digesting carbs, and quality fats (30-60 minutes) before and (30-60 minutes) after training.
Vitamin C will also be your friend as this helps repair tissue - 1000mg 3-times a day would be great. Also, be sure you're taking a good multi-vitamin. Men's One-A-Day will be sufficient. I'd recommend since you're training hard, have 2 instead of 1
Oh, and in case you don't know your max on lifts in order to estimate your 75% weight. It's pretty much any weight you can do for 8 reps or less. Usually I stack my lifting sets as 6-8 reps, 3 minutes rest, 4-6 reps, 3 minutes rest, 2-4 reps, 3 minutes rest, 1-2 reps, 3 minutes rest, then switch lifts. Once you reach the top # of reps for each set, you're ready to increase your weights.

My simple solution.
Lift heavy (about 6-8 reps max)
Eat Lots of Protein
Take Creatine
Drink lots of water
Don't waste your time with a lot of junk food. You won't get any quality pounds from that. Protein to build the muscles. Carbs to fuel your workouts. Vegetables (raw is best) are great for all around health and endurance.

Blueberry and Nectarine Cobbler
Recipe courtesy of Food Network Kitchen
When adding juicy summer fruit (like blueberries) to pies and cobblers, you generally need something to help the fruit coalesce into a sauce[. We love instant tapioca, as it thickens while fading into the background, letting the fruit shine.]
- Fruit:
- 6 ripe nectarines, about 1 pound
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon instant tapioca
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced into small pieces, plus more for the pan
- Cobbler Top:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced into small pieces
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Serving suggestions: Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
For the fruit: Halve the nectarines along their natural seam, but leave skins on. Cut each half into 3 wedges. Toss nectarines with blueberries, sugar, and tapioca and put into a buttered 9-inch round gratin or casserole dish. Dot the top of the fruit with the pieces of butter.
For the cobbler top: Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Rub in 2 tablespoons of the butter with your fingertips until no visible pieces remain. Rub in the remaining 4 tablespoons butter just until it is in even, pea-size pieces. Whisk together the egg and cream and stir into the dry ingredients to make a shaggy, loose dough.
Spoon large spoonfuls of dough on top of the fruit in clumps (it should look like rough, old-fashioned cobblestones, hence the name cobbler). Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the topping comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool cobbler on a rack, about 20 minutes.
Serve warm or room temperature, with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.

More:Statement by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton
On Monday, November 12, the United States was reelected to the UN Human Rights Council during a session of the 67th UN General Assembly. As the United States prepares for another term on the Council, we note the numerous accomplishments during the first term and pledge to continue the hard work necessary to advance human rights worldwide.
Since joining the Council in 2009, our efforts to strengthen and redirect the Council have resulted in concrete actions to address human rights abuses around the world. While the Council remains imperfect -- particularly in its disproportionate focus on Israel -- it is becoming a more balanced and credible institution.
Highlights of U.S. accomplishments during our first term show our enduring commitment to universal human rights. The United States co-sponsored the first-ever UN resolution advancing the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) persons. The U.S. co-sponsored a landmark resolution on Internet freedom endorsing the right of all individuals to enjoy the same human rights and fundamental freedoms online as they do offline, noting that all governments must protect those rights regardless of medium.
The United States also supported resolutions on the protection and promotion of Freedom of Assembly and Association and on Combating Discrimination and Violence, and robust responses to address urgent and serious human rights situations in Iran, Syria, Libya, Cote d'Ivoire, and Burma.
The United States looks forward to continuing to work with the Council and our international partners to promote and protect human rights around the world.

Martinez Companon y Bujanda, Trujillo de Peru (Madrid: Ediciones Cultura Hispanica, 1978-1994; facsimile reproduction of manuscripts in the Biblioteca del Palacio Real de Madrid), vol. 2, plate E43
Drawing simply identified as "Negro," shows a black man smoking a long stemmed pipe, holding what appears to be a long handled spade, wearing a conical cap, and tattered pantaloons and a chemise or shirt; he may have a storage pouch hanging over his chest. This and hundreds of other drawings were done by unidentifed Indians during the 1780s and were commissioned by the Spanish Bishop Baltazar Jaime Martinez Companon during his pastoral visit to the region of Trujillo in northern Peru. The drawings, spread over nine volumes, are of Spaniards, Indians, plants and animals, as well plans and maps of the region. Only Vol. 2 contains a few pictures of blacks, the index to the volume giving very sparse information on each drawing. (See other images Trujillo on this website.)

Q. Is metoprolol tartrate the same as toprol XL?
Metoprolol tartrate and toprol XL are same and Toprol xl is the brand name of the generic drug metoprolol
Q. Can I take metoprolol with amlodipine/ Nyquil /Xanax/ Aspirin/ Ibuprofen/ Benadryl/ Zoloft/ Lisinopril?
Metoprolol can be taken with amlodipine, Lisinopril, Xanax and Aspirin. It is advised to take Nyquil and Metoprolol with doctor's advice, because Nyquil contains antihistamines which might elevate blood pressure. Ibuprofen is NSAID, which interacts with metoprolol and should be avoided. Metoprolol may slow down the heart rate, and diphenhydramine can cause drowsiness, so Benadryl should be taken only if needed and under doctor's advice. Metoprolol tartrate oral will increase the level or effect of Zoloft (sertraline) by altering drug metabolism
Q. Does metoprolol cause hair loss/ headache/ lower heart rate/ lower blood pressure/ weight gain/ memory loss/ itching/ cough/ itching/ gas?
Metoprolol may cause some of these effects. Always consult your doctor if you experience such side effects.

I'm not sure I understand the reasoning behind the graphics bar during Mets games on SNY and PIX. Perhaps someone can explain it.
First, and most ostentatiously, I'm bewildered by having home plate as one of the bases included in the graphics. ...as if someone will be standing on home plate awaiting another batter to score them from home. Really, is anyone waiting on home plate to score on another batter's performance? Having four bases sticks out like a sore thumb, since home plate juts down below the bar.
But then, to put salt on the thoughtlessness, the team logos on the left are cropped within the their respective boxes. I don't get it.
I suggest eliminating home plate from the graphics, thus enabling the three bases to fit nicely within the bar. And, as any computer programmer knows, it takes a mere tweak to allow the team logos to be separated from their restrictive boxes and allowed to be shown in full outside the boxes. And, hah, lo'n'behold, without cropping the logos, they'd still not interfere with the dimensions of the bar itself.
Anyone from SNY/PIX reading this? I first noticed it last season, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you'd tweak it by this season. Hasn't happened. Yet. What say you put your designers back to work for 45 seconds to fix these two on-my-nerves eyesores?

ACLU says ATF blocks whistleblower book on scandal
WASHINGTON — The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is blocking one of its agents from publishing a book about the failed "Fast and Furious" gun-smuggling sting operation.
In a six-page letter to ATF Deputy Director Thomas Brandon, lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union say the decision to block the book proposed by Special Agent John Dodson violates his First Amendment rights. The ACLU described Dodson as a whistleblower.
According to the letter, the ATF denied Dodson's request to try to publish a book about the failed sting operation because it would have "a negative impact on morale in the Phoenix (Field Division) and would have a detrimental" impact on ATF relationships with the FBI and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
The ATF did not immediately comment.

Ice rescues could prove costly
Authorities urge people to use caution on ice
MADISON, Wis. - Officials are urging people to be careful on area lakes as warmer temperatures cause melting ice.
The Madison Fire Department said the number of rescues for people who have fallen through the ice goes up as temperatures rise.
"The last few years have been sort of like this. It's been warm, cold, warm, cold. (There have been) a lot more drownings, a lot more ice rescues," said Lt. Mike Dibble, of the Madison Fire Department and diving team. "The ice is going to melt. It's going to be unsafe."
A sport utility vehicle went under water near the La Crosse airport over the weekend. All three occupants got out without even getting wet. Another car sank to the bottom of Lake Wisconsin. The driver escaped, but Columbia County divers took the plunge near Merrimac on Saturday to find the Chevy Cobalt.
Madison's scuba team used a treaded all-terrain vehicle on Lake Waubesa on Monday morning to rescue a man after his all-terrain vehicle fell through.
"(He was driving) and -- boom -- all of the ice was gone. He was in an 8-foot lake," Dibble said.
The vehicle had proper floatation, which is required on most Dane County lakes. Those without it face a $250 fine.
Then there's the cost of the tow, which is billed to the driver of the vehicle.
"Just trying to get the equipment, just to carry it out there is a task in itself," said John Schmidt, of Schmidt's Towing Co.
For all of that work, Schmidt's Towing Co. estimates hauling an ATV from the ice costs at least $1,500, much more for a car.18313636
"It's very time-consuming, and again, very dangerous, because you never know," Schmidt said.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources can also impose fines. Anyone who leaves a vehicle submerged under ice and cold water could face a $389.50 fine. By law, people have 30 days to tow the vehicle away.

Crispy and Delicious Asparagus and Potato Tart
Recipe courtesy of Jamie Oliver
- Jamie at Home
Filo pastry can be bought in all supermarkets now, yet it often gets forgotten about. You can usually find it in either the fresh or the[ frozen pastry sections. Next time you're out shopping, pick some up - everyone should keep some at home because it's wonderful to use as a base for sweet and savory tarts, or to wrap around cheese or spiced meat fillings. It goes really crunchy when cooked, so it's great with softer things. For this recipe, I've used it to make a quick open tart - perfect for a picnic or a simple lunch with a salad. You could even make individual ones and serve them as starters.]
- 1 pound potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- Sea salt
- 1 pound asparagus spears, woody ends removed
- 8 ounces filo pastry
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Lancashire cheese
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Cheddar
- 3 large organic or free-range eggs
- 1 (8-ounce) container heavy cream
- 1/4 whole fresh nutmeg
- Freshly ground black pepper
Put your potatoes into a pan of salted boiling water and cook for 15 minutes. Meanwhile blanch your asparagus in a separate pan of salted boiling water for 4 minutes, and drain in a colander.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Get an ovenproof dish - I've used many different shapes and sizes. Layer the sheets of filo pastry in the dish, brushing them with melted butter as you go and letting about 1-inch hang over the edge. You want to get the pastry about 5 layers thick. Put a clean, damp kitchen towel over the top and put aside.
When the potatoes are done, mash them with the cheeses. In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs and cream and stir into your cheesy mashed potato. Grate in the nutmeg, season well with pepper and mix together. Spread the mashed potato over the filo pastry, then bring up the sides of the filo and scrunch them together to form a rim. Take your blanched asparagus and line them up across the filling, making sure you cover it all. Brush all over with the remaining melted butter and pop into the preheated oven for around 20 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Serve just as you would a quiche for a quick lunch or supper, with a salad.

MURPHY, S.K.. Linear elastic numerical modelling for failure prediction-an assesment. J. S. Afr. Inst. Min. Metall. [online]. 2012, vol.112, n.8, pp.737-748. ISSN 2411-9717.
A partial shaft pillar extraction project was embarked on at a mine in the West Wits mining region in South Africa. Prior to the extraction, a rock engineering assessment was conducted with the main objective being to establish which areas of the shaft pillar could be extracted without unduly affecting the stability of major infrastructure within the shaft pillar. Standard numerical modelling methods were used to conduct this assessment and several areas were identified for extraction. However, during the extraction process, it was found that the infrastructure was affected more than was originally predicted by linear elastic modelling. In addition to this, several large events resulted in far more large aftershocks than would normally be predicted. In order to gain an understanding of this phenomenon, seismic data was integrated with numerical modelling as follows: > The seismic data in the form of displacements was integrated in 3D space within the model to assess the effect of static stress changes associated with seismic activity > Data from large events was integrated onto specific structures, where displacements associated with large events were integrated onto the plane of structure in question. This paper describes the methodology and results obtained from each of the above processes and include insights into the mining process that were previously unfathomable using standard linear elastic numerical modelling. The way forward for this rock engineering assessment of partial shaft pillar extraction is also discussed.

- From assorted prints cut 25 squares 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ for the cornerstones
- From sashing fabric cut 40 strips 2 3/4″ x 11 3/4″ (requires 1 yard fabric)
- From 1st border fabric cut 6 strips 2″ x 42″ (requires 3/8 yard fabric)
- From 2nd border fabric cut 7 strips 6″ x 42″ (requires 1 1/4 yards fabric)
I knew I wanted to use a tone-on-tone white print for my sashing fabrics (the strips between all the blocks) but I wasn't sure what color fabrics I wanted to use for the cornerstones (the squares between all the sashing strips.) So I played with some different options when I laid out the quilt.
I was originally going to use the navy prints as my cornerstones, but decided the contrast was a little stronger than I wanted. So I tried some of the lighter prints, but colors that still had contrast with the white sashing. I decided I liked the more subtle cornerstones and went with that for this particular quilt. Neither one is right or wrong- just whatever personal preference you reach. With this quilt, I liked the pop of red in the cornerstones. In that quilt I also used the same fabric for all of the cornerstones. Lots of options. Don't be afraid to try different looks. I was surprised by what I ended up choosing in the end.
As a result the newly trimmed border strips could be slightly shorter than the sides of the quilt. (This is not a bad thing because it will help square up the quilt and keep the edges from getting wavy). When you go to pin your border to the sides (and this is a really important part for keeping that quilt square) start by finding the center of the strip and matching it up with the center of the quilt edge. Pin there and then pin at both ends. Then carefully pin the rest of the strip to the edge of the quilt. If the quilt edge is slightly longer, carefully space the pins equally. When you go to sew the seam, place the border strip on top as you send it through the machine. The feed dogs should ease the excess of the quilt edge through the machine without creating puckers.
Sew with 1/4″ seam and then press seams toward the border. Repeat with remaining sides.
Repeat that method again, two opposite sides at a time, with the outside quilt borders. For more information and details on adding borders to a quilt visit the Quilt Borders 101 tutorial.
I love seeing the contrast between the two quilts. f you are looking for Happy Go Lucky yardage, precuts and some bundles, try these shops: The Little Fabric Shop, Poppyseed Fabrics, and Southern Fabrics.
In two weeks we will be talking quilting! See you then!

The best of the kiln...
My friend who likes my pots asks me to make from each kiln "the best of" selection, one or two pieces, take a picture and keep this pieces for him. This makes me wonder how to define "the best of". There are several points of view, several approaches how to make this selection and if the firing was successful it is almost impossible (to choose one from twenty-five when every of them have its own story). I tend to choose pieces which are not so noticeable beautiful and attractive. Pots with gray feeling...but then most people do not understand why this "ordinery"pots are the best. My answer is that they are ordinary and quiet.
Here are "the best of" the from the last fire.
Finely the spring is coming here and it inspired me to create this summer Chawan. Frozen landscape of rocks and forests.

I own a Larrivee OM-03RE (about four years old) which includes the LR Baggs Element Notch electronics system.
Recently I've noticed that there is a varying amount of static present in the signal from the guitar. I've swapped out batteries in both the on-board preamp and in my Para DI box as well as cables, and found that the problem remains. (For a true A/B comparison I also used the same signal chain with another guitar. The problem did not appear with that guitar.)
Is this a common problem with the Element Notch system, and what's the best resolution?

Skip to comments.The Science of Guns Proves Arming Untrained Citizens Is a Bad Idea (Get in here!)
Posted on 05/10/2013 6:51:56 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 31,672 people died by guns in 2010 (the most recent year for which U.S. figures are available), a staggering number that is orders of magnitude higher than that of comparable Western democracies. What can we do about it? National Rifle Association executive vice president Wayne LaPierre believes he knows: The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. If LaPierre means professionally trained police and military who routinely practice shooting at ranges, this observation would at least be partially true. If he means armed private citizens with little to no training, he could not be more wrong.
Consider a 1998 study in the Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery that found that every time a gun in the home was used in a self-defense or legally justifiable shooting, there were four unintentional shootings, seven criminal assaults or homicides, and 11 attempted or completed suicides. Pistol owners' fantasy of blowing away home-invading bad guys or street toughs holding up liquor stores is a myth debunked by the data showing that a gun is 22 times more likely to be used in a criminal assault, an accidental death or injury, a suicide attempt or a homicide than it is for self-defense. I harbored this belief for the 20 years I owned a Ruger .357 Magnum with hollow-point bullets designed to shred the body of anyone who dared to break into my home, but when I learned about these statistics, I got rid of the gun.
More insights can be found in a 2013 book from Johns Hopkins University Press entitled Reducing Gun Violence in America: Informing Policy with Evidence and Analysis, edited by Daniel W. Webster and Jon S. Vernick.....
(Excerpt) Read more at scientificamerican.com ...
Besides being a bunch of smoke and mirrors in its own right, this piece is yet another attempt to divert the truth about guns.
2A is about tyranny, not crime. Never was about crime, accidents, cheating spouses or shooting the barking dog next door.
None of us need *anyone's* permission to protect ourselves, our families and our property. That is as natural & righteous as breathing.
2A does not "give" us the right to firearms, it simply reminds the government that it has no power to abridge that right. A right that we are born with.
The CDC is responsible for collecting all death information to produce their regular Morbidity and Mortality Reports. Goggle that to see how they present their statistics.
***LOL, I never heard of that one. Liberals lie a lot, dont they?***
Did a search as I had made comments on the article. Found it! Did not know that I had posted so much on FR! Here it is! from Jan 11, 2013!
What, did he think his Ruger was going to crawl out of it's hiding place one night and get him?
The movie is "Collateral" Tom Cruise & Jamie Foxx. Its the briefcase scene following the hit on the Penthouse guy. I am not a particular fan of Cruise but he played the bad guy Vincent really well but that is more of a credit to the director Michael Mann.
The pistol is a HK USP45.
I've got it. His motto should be 'Moron Labe'!
Mexico has a near complete gun ban yet has a crime rate much higher than America
Russia bans handguns for all civilians, and also bans long guns for almost all Russians except licensed hunters. However, Russia's overall per capita rate for murders committed with any and all types of weapons is almost 4 times higher than the overall US rate for murders committed with all types of weapons including guns. The study also found that many other Euro nations with very strict gun control laws have as high or higher per capita murder rates as the US has.
Its not the NRA saying all that, it's in part of a study of murder rates in several Euro nations that was made by two Harvard professors, and Harvard isn't exactly what I would call a pro-gun institution. Actually, in view of Harvard's well known hostility to our 2nd A rights I'm surprised that the results of that study were made public.
The propaganda in Scientific America is disgusting. Not once did they mention or dispute the finding of John Lott. or mention that Gun crimes are down. or prove that more gun laws would do anything to stop any more shootings.
we should contact the liar at Questions for Skeptic magazines Executive Director and Editor-in-Chief, Michael Shermer, can be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
I would like to ask this dolt if a relatively physically weak woman would have a better chance with or without a gun against a large person breaking into her residence. Only an anti-gun fool would deny the obvious.
The fact that they are descended from African slaves is only tangentially relevant.
What IS relevant is that many of them self-segregate into violent, lawless urban concrete jungles where there are minimal adverse consequences to blowing-away anyone who displeases them.
Is he perchance an ultra-marathon bicycle rider?
Indeed, "Scientific" American the other day had an article about how it is good that science spending in the government is at an all time low since the steady defunding of research in military and civilian nuclear infrastructure starting in the 50s...
It sounds like scripted agenda-speak to me.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yes , very scripted, a former bitter clinger to his gun now converted by the science of statistics? Buahahahaha!
I suppose he has abandoned his bible as well? LOL.
But the question is what other comparable industrial nation has the same ethnic mix.
Both Thomas Sowell (Black Rednecks and White Liberals) and James Webb (Born Fighting) make the point that the southern freed slaves saw (and copied) those same violent behaviors in the white people they observed - the descendents of those immigrants from lowland Scotland, who would just as soon kill you as look at you.
So, ironically, in the modern urban ghetto, when a "brother" shoots a "brother", they're actually "acting white".
Isn't it kind of late in the game for Scientific American to be singing that song? The "untrained citizens" of this country are already armed to the teeth. The gun-grabbers ain't putting that genie back in the bottle no matter how much fear-mongering they try to spread.
Webb would look at it that way but I think the black communities simply have a higher rate of schizophrenia.
Now that's just laugh-out-loud funny! And so true!
That may be...
Oh come on now! I'm black, and I'm not mentally ill. Just ask my invisible demon. He'll vouch for my sanity. ;)
(making sure to avoid any eye contact) "yeah, sure, uh huh ~ going away ~ bye" (scurring to other side of street, pulling coat up to hide face)
The science of cars proves letting untrained citizens drive is a bad idea.
The science of swimming pools proves swimming by untrained citizens is a bad idea.
The science of tools proves letting untrained citizens operate chainsaws is a bad idea.
"The Science of Guns" made me laugh right there. What's your major? I'm majoring in the "science of guns."
Amen to that. I used to have a subscription and I loved the magazine.
I don't know if they changed or I just started noticing, but the articles started having a political slant. That was not so surprising when they veered into social "science", but even in articles that should have been strictly scientific, hard science like physics and chemistry, they managed to wedge in some liberal tripe. Don't even get me started on global warming.
Needless to say, I no longer subscribe.
That is so true...I have cut back on my shooting lately just because of ammo shortages and I don't want to deplete my rather "substantial" inventory. But when I was shooting regularly there wasn't a LEO who could outshoot me and I used to shoot regularly over 400-rounds a month of large pistol calibers at an indoor range, plus lots of .22 plinking in the desert. Plus, attending advanced pistol and combat pistol and defence courses.
I used to suscribe when I was a science major but got fed up with the politically slanted articles. This is just another of many.
No idea, I never knew him very well, and haven't seen him in maybe 20 years? I wasn't impressed then, though.
Since this study came from the "Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery", I'm going to guess that they got their data from shootings that resulted in an ER visit. They count as self defense ONLY cases where the gun was (1) fired, AND (2) the bad guy was hit, AND (3) the case was immediately classified as self-defense.
Cases where the gun owner chased away the bad guy without wounding or killing the bad guy would not be counted as defensive shootings. Cases where the gun owner was initially arrested and the case was later decided as "self defense" would also not be counted.
An additional point: the vast majority of shootings involve inner-city criminals shooting other inner-city criminals, using guns they are legally prohibited from owning. A study which excluded those cases, and covered ONLY shootings where the gun owner was legally allowed to own the gun used, would paint a different story.
In most places, police academies devote just a week or two to firearms training. I've had far more formal training than the average police officer, and far more range time.
The best solution is to make certain that all citizens are properly trained in the safe use of firearms.
I have to wonder if they really know better themselves. After all, these medicos know you don't have to vaccinate every single person in a community in order to bring an epidemic to an end. (Quick! How many of you have smallpox vaccinations?)
Probably not the answer the grabbers want... but if taxes have to subsidize anything why not this. Shooting lessons free to anyone who is not a crook or a nut.
Don't be dissin' black rednecks, or any color of rednecks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c66P1mCVGio
Rednecks built America!
It's unfortunate that they suffered such a rate of craziness. I have a hunch, it would be probably difficult to prove, but what I think is a spiritually educated hunch, that the problems with such populations may not be all genetic. It may be spiritual too, and I don't mean all of their free will i.e. if they just read the bible all the demons would go away, it's not always that simple in spiritual warfare. All manner of dark spirits probably followed the African slaves kidnapped from Africa, and guess where they mostly went.
The other day, in the news, the news reader stated that "government scientists at NOAA .....". That's all that I needed to hear .... "government scientists" is an oxymoron!

As my tenth anniversary at Jazz 88 is fast approaching, I remember my first few days at the radio station. I didn't know enough about the music to comment on anything. I had to rely on my personal Jazz Dictionary, Gary Walker. Thanks to the morning maestro, I've learned so much about jazz now...to a point where I play air drums, piano and sax in the studio in between newscasts. I'm also blessed to be working at a radio station where so many talented artists come to visit. Two recent events made me realize I've actually become a part of the jazz community. Trumpeter Jon Faddis agreed to shoot the breeze with me about sports and jazz on SportsJam and bassist John Lee complimented my work during a recent visit to Cecil's Jazz Club in West Orange. Very cool to have two terrific guys who played with Dizzy Gillespie make me feel special!

Dave, I'm not sure because I think I read some where that the dough temp should be 82 F before going in the cooler. I have never applied this information to myu pizza dough but i think I will based on what RoadPizza said.

Hello every body,
I want to start to decorate the upstairs landing with Marian and Emi. I will draw a stage, inside one alcove in the stairs, between two real curtains. I found velvet green curtain in the shop for this effect. Emi want to draw a little door inside the other alcove. I'm thinking to paint the little wall with the two alcoves in purple. I will send a message to Deborah to include her in this project, and I will describe my idea to her.

Topic: PostGre vs MySQL
I've written some very involved databases that I use at home primarily for my own use (for now) in MySQL - I'm fluent in DDL and DDM and consider myself almost expert in writing a query of any complexity from databases, but as I'm getting into rails, I'm using Heroku and they use PostGre
I've done some research online and found some comparisons between the two but they are mostly performance issues. I'm wondering if anyone can point me to a 'functional' comparison. What's the difference in SQL language, if any, of PostGre and MySQL or is it purely performance based.
My primary databases are sports statistics related, NBA and MLB so there's a lot of involved table relationships that I don't want to mess up shifting to postgre

The Gunning-Fog index is a commonly used algorithm to determine the readability of English writing. (Details on the wiki page here. See also the comments section.) I wrote a perl script that reads in Hansard transcripts from Question Time and looks for sentences that score an 18 on Gunning-Fog, which ranks as incomprehensible, and then replaced that sentence with the word AAARRGGGGGH! Here's how Hekia Parata's most recent oral question plays out.
6. CHRIS HIPKINS (Labour—Rimutaka) to the Minister of Education: What specific criteria were used to determine whether a school in Christchurch was identified for restoration, consolidation or rejuvenation?
Hon HEKIA PARATA (Minister of Education) : Tena koe, Mr Speaker. AAARRGGGGGH! However, it is important to note that those categories describe learning community clusters, and not individual schools.
Chris Hipkins: I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. The Minister's answer has given me an explanation of what each of the categories are. I have asked for what the criteria were in order to put schools within those categories.
Mr SPEAKER: I think the member has got a legitimate grievance because the member actually asked what specific criteria were used to determine whether a school was identified for restoration, consolidation, or rejuvenation. The Minister, in answering, gave criteria for clusters. If she could clarify for the House whether that applies to individual schools, that would be helpful because that is what the question asked.
Hon HEKIA PARATA: AAARRGGGGGH! They do not relate to individual schools.
Mr SPEAKER: I thank the Minister.
Chris Hipkins: I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. Schools were specifically listed in her proposal under one of those headings, and I have asked the criteria on which they were listed under those headings. That is a primary question, and it is not an unreasonable question.
Mr SPEAKER: I accept absolutely that it is not an unreasonable question, and that is why I sought clarification from the Minister. What the Minister seems to be pointing out to the House is that those three classifications—restoration, consolidation, or rejuvenation—did not actually apply to individual schools. As to what the Minister has told the House, I have got to take the Minister's answer at face value. I cannot second-guess that. The Minister has given an answer to that question.
Chris Hipkins: What specific criteria were used to identify whether a specific school was proposed for a merger or a closure?
Hon HEKIA PARATA: Sorry, could the member repeat the supplementary question?
Mr SPEAKER: I invite the member to repeat his question.
Chris Hipkins: I will try. What specific criteria were used to identify whether a specific school, an individual school, was proposed for a closure or a merger?
Hon HEKIA PARATA: I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. AAARRGGGGGH!AAARRGGGGGH!
Mr SPEAKER: Order! If I am going to help members on this matter, they should be a little silent. I think it is not unreasonable—the primary question asked what specific criteria were used to determine whether a school in Christchurch was identified for restoration, consolidation, or rejuvenation. The Minister in answering that question pointed out those three categories applied to clusters of schools, so the member has not unreasonably now dug further into that answer and asked then what criteria were used to identify schools for, I think his language was, merger, which is similar to consolidation, or closure, which is highly relevant to some schools in Christchurch. That is not an unreasonable supplementary question, and I am ruling that it is not an unreasonable supplementary question.
Hon HEKIA PARATA: AAARRGGGGGH!AAARRGGGGGH! That is what—
Hon Members: What are they?
Hon HEKIA PARATA: AAARRGGGGGH!AAARRGGGGGH! Those are some of the criteria.
Chris Hipkins: Were the assessment of earthquake damage and the likely cost of repair for each of the schools proposed for merger or closure based on a physical inspection of each site and building; if so, who conducted that assessment?
Hon HEKIA PARATA: AAARRGGGGGH!AAARRGGGGGH! Some of them involved book assessments. AAARRGGGGGH!
Colin King: Was the change in demographics taken into account when developing the criteria?
Hon HEKIA PARATA: Yes, it is a people-related issue. AAARRGGGGGH!AAARRGGGGGH!AAARRGGGGGH!AAARRGGGGGH!
Chris Hipkins: Was a physical assessment of the earthquake damage done on each of the schools that she proposed for merger or closure before she proposed that; if not, why not?
Hon HEKIA PARATA: AAARRGGGGGH!
Mr SPEAKER: Tracy Watkins [Interruption]—Tracey Martin. I beg your pardon. My goodness.
Tracey Martin: Kia ora, Mr Speaker.
Mr SPEAKER: I beg your pardon.
Tracey Martin: Kia ora—
Mr SPEAKER: My apologies to the House.
Tracey Martin: Can the Minister assure the House that parental elections for boards of trustees will be held within 6 months of any consolidation or merger of schools in Christchurch as per the requirements of the Education Act 1989?
Hon HEKIA PARATA: AAARRGGGGGH!AAARRGGGGGH!AAARRGGGGGH!
Tracey Martin: I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. I apologise. Perhaps I missed it. I understand the time line around mergers might not be quite clear at the moment, but my question was whether the elections for boards of trustees would be held within 6 months of any consolidation or merger as per the Education Act 1989.
Mr SPEAKER: I invite the Minister to actually answer that question.
Hon HEKIA PARATA: Yes.
Chris Hipkins: Did she review all of the information prepared by the Ministry of Education on the likely or estimated cost of repairing schools that she was intending to propose for merger or closure, before she made the decision to propose those schools for merger or closure; if not, why not?
Hon HEKIA PARATA: Yes.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Setsuna ABs of STEEL Best type of portable abdominal training. Great exercise using two wheels. Using one wheel will give you an upper body of steel! January 19, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Runner39 Great product This ab wheel was very easy to assemble (about 1 minute). It seems to be made very well and I especially like the rubberized hand grips, which are comfortable and give good grip. January 12, 2015

Rated 5 out of 5�by JJ25 Good workout tool This product has good quality. It's good for the workout I'm planning on doing! October 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by potpig Works... The item is made at a price point to be affordable for someone that wants an inexpensive abdominal tool to use. The Ab Wheel is made of plastic and the shaft is a thin walled tube. I use it every other day and have noticed a slight slip in the grips. Again, at the price, it's pretty much a "throw away" item anyway. It does what it says it will do and works just fine for the short term. I'd purchase it again. October 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Skipster Good for the price Provides a solid ab work out. The handles could be a little more comfortable, but you can't expect too much for the price. It doesn't bother me too much anyhow. A good ab wheel overall. September 30, 2014

I think you will find great satisfaction with this purchase. March 10, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Āby SusanVera Super Jacket! Husband got the large so he could layer under it for our Alaska trip. He usually wears a medium. We still have to figure out how to pack it into the pocket so that it uses the space better than our first attempt. I'll be checking YouTube as I'm sure someone has posted an instruction video!

Rated 5 out of 5Āby Mose75 This product is very rugged. I was caught backpacking at night in the rain and this jacket kept me dry and warm until we made it to base camp. We had to make several creek crossings and I used the draw strings to cinch the jacket tight and keep me dry. I highly recommend this jacket to anyone going in backcountry. January 16, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5Āby stgarrison sleeves too short to keep I purchased this jacket in a size medium for my son-in-law, who is tall and slender (6'1" or so). The jacket fit everywhere except the sleeves, which rode up to mid forearm when he stretched out his hands. The North Face makes the jacket in tall sizes, but only in black and gray, and they were out of stock, so we returned the jacket and got something else. I think it would have been a good jacket had it fit. January 12, 2016

16 oz. Scorpion Bowl
- 16 oz. "Personal" Bowl
- Ceramic with Hula Girl Design
- No Volcano Center
- Dishwasher Safe, Lead Free
This is the smaller, more personal, volcano drink bowl compared to its bigger 32 oz. Flaming Volcano Bowl brother. While you may still use the 16 oz. volcano bowl for Scorpion Bowl cocktails, it's a bit more personal and fit to the size of a single person. Once you chill your drink with some ice, you'll have just enough capacity for the recipe.
If you need the volcano center, checkout the 32. oz Flaming Volcano Bowl.

About the Author: Tom Weinz served as the Foreign Service Liaison Officer (FSLO) aboard the USNS Richard E. Byrd for Pacific Partnership 2009 (PP09).
From May 4 to 8 of this year the United States and the Republic of the Philippines co-sponsored an ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) disaster response exercise. Twenty-six ARF countries joined in a civilian-led, military supported activity involving the demonstration and execution of medical, engineering, land, air, and maritime capabilities of ARF's participants. This exercise, as the Pacific Partnership missions, eventuated from the terrible tragedy of the December 2004 tsunami, which horrified the world. And it demonstrates the strong collective commitment to prepare for such an event in the future. One of the recommendations that emerged following the exercise was that any future ARF exercise "…include MEDCAP, ENCAP or VETCAP projects to bring tangible benefits to the hosting nation's population." That, in essence, is the definition of Pacific Partnership.
On September 2, the Pacific Partnership team cut a ribbon to open their most ambitious ENCAP construction project of this mission. For some years a major bridge connecting North Tarawa from the rest of the atoll has been dangerously semi-collapsed, preventing the 5,000 i-Kiribati (pronounced "ee-keer-ah-bhas") living in the north from full access to most services in South Tarawa, including medical, supply and access to the international airport. During consultations over the past year, I have heard the naval engineers discussing every aspect of this impressive effort: now it is reality. Since arrival of the USNS Byrd on August 23, engineers have dismantled and removed the existing 186-foot/56.7-meter bridge. The new bridge was manufactured in England and shipped to Kiribati (pronounced "keer-ah-bhas") in eight 20-foot sea containers, along with two 7-ton trucks and two heavy lift telehandler forklifts to move the sections out of and into position across the water. This effort brilliantly meshes a real-world need with an "exercise" in transporting and building in an area that completely lacks local infrastructure — which would be the case in most future disaster scenarios.
When USNS Byrd sailed towards the Republic of the Marshall Islands on September 5, it left thousands of inhabitants of Kiribati with a little better life. The physical bridge has a figurative counterpart, signifying a more compassionate, more involved international community that, in spite of daunting domestic economic challenges, continues to reach out to peoples and countries of the world who need and appreciate benevolent neighbors. Our future needs both types of bridges.
Read Tom's previous entry about Kiribati or his entry about the conclusion of Pacific Partnership 2009.
Patrick in Maryland writes:
Hi, :)
I like the idea of building bridges. I't is nice to see that we are working together with the people of the Philippines,and the Countries that are part of the ASEAN Regional Forum. I think the people of England
did a great job of building this bridge which is something our countries should be very proud of for working on together.

MAYVILLE – Sixteen legislators voted in favor of selling the Chautauqua County Home at the third event concerning its privitization Wednesday night in the Legislative Chambers of the Gerace Office Building in Mayville.
Nine voted against the sale of the county-owned skilled nursing facility located in Dunkirk.
The supermajority vote required 17 in order for the home to be sold to VestraCare, who offered $16.5 million for its purchase, which breaks down to $80,000 per bed.
Robert Whitney (D-Jamestown) voted against the sale and spoke heatedly.
"You'd have to be a fool to think the timing of this vote was a coincidence," he said, adding, "This is rushed to meet the political deadline," referring to Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 5.
George Borrello (R-Irving) voted in favor and said, "This is hardly the Republican plot Mr. Whitney has made it out to be. There is no doubt, we have had plenty of time (to decide)."
Lori Cornell (D-Jamestown) did not speak during the open session for legislators. She voted not to sell the home. However, at a meet the candidates session hosted by the League of Women Voters on Oct. 24, she said it was because of the potential buyers.
Keith Ahlstrom (D-Dunkirk) said after the vote, "The majority of residents in my district are against it (the sale). I would caution everybody that there will come a time that some of the legislators are correct, that it will not be a sustainable function."
Vince Horrigan (R-Bemus Point) said, "We've come a long way," of the extensive process of the proposed sale of the home, whose sustainability has been a hot topic since 2009 when a committee of the legislature was created to review the sustainability of the facility.
Horrigan voted in favor of the sale and spoke of it positively.
"The problem that I see is doing nothing. It does not seem to be getting us the benefit we need. I think we need to be straight. This (the sale) is not a loss. It's an opportunity," he said.
He spoke of the benefits of selling the home to VestraCare, saying the company has been cited for innovative solutions and would bring additional levels of care to the county.
"If we just continue, I believe there will come a time where we'll have to face the consequence of something much less than the opportunity to privatize," Horrigan said.
Timothy Hoyer (D-Jamestown) provided the audience with a lengthy explanation of why he is against the sale.
"It is an argument about whether or not we should take care of our elderly. It is our role to take care of our neighbor," he said, continuing with, "The sale of the County Home goes against our care of one another."
Paula DeJoy (D-Jamestown), who voted in favor of the sale, addressed Hoyer with, "Be the voice of your constituents. Your beliefs must be set aside because you were elected to represent them."
County Executive Greg Edwards (who included the sale in his 2013 budget presentation) said, "I wasn't surprised by the vote, but disappointed in the legislators who, as constituents, had expressed clearly they would like the opportunity (to sell). The reality is that the value of the county nursing home is decreasing significantly. Studies prove that county homes will continue to cost tax dollars."
Edwards said there will most likely be other offers in the future, but noted that VestraCare "was one of the best potential operators" and hopes they will "keep the Chautauqua County Home on their radar."
Members of the community spoke out against the sale of the facility, urging legislators to "make the right choice," and consider the home, its residents and their "displacement" if the county home were to be privatized.
Several of the same people have been present at the last two voting sessions, wearing bright yellow t-shirts that say, "Save our County Home."
"I know the dollars mean a lot, but we also have been given a mission," said Carol Steger, admission coordinator for the home. "In a private sector, dollars are the bottom line. I wish it would be more about what our true responsibilities are."
On the other hand, President of the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce Todd Tranum spoke in favor of the sale and told legislators, "Put yourself in the position of closing in two years. What if you have to close rather than sell?"
The legislature will downsize from 25 to 19 in January, which could change the outcome of any future votes to sell. In order for the home to be sold, the supermajority vote would require a 2/3 vote in order to sell real property owned by the county.
Other legislators who voted in favor of selling the home were: Larry Barmore; R-Gerry; Fred Croscut, R-Sherman; Tom Erlandson, D-Frewsburg; John Hemmer, R-Westfield; David Himelein, R-Findley Lake; Victoria James, D-Jamestown; Chuck Nazzaro, D-Jamestown; Rod Rodgers, G-Forestville; John Runkle, R-Stockton; Bob Stewart, R-Ellington, Mark Tarbrake, R-Ellicott; Paul Wendel, R-Lakewood; Jay Gould, R-Ashville.
In favor of keeping the home were William Coughlin, D-Fredonia; Tom DeJoe, D-Brocton; Bob Duff, R-Sheridan; Shaun Heenan, D-Dunkirk; and Bob Scudder, R-Fredonia.

Since the introduction of the very first Xbox game console, Microsoft has shipped over eighty million of its video game systems, sold hundreds of millions of games and introduce hundreds of promising technologies and innovations. Xbox Live currently has 35 million members worldwide who spend 2.1 billion hours a month on the service. Introduced a year ago, Kinect for Xbox 360 set a Guinness World Record as the fastest-selling consumer electronic device, selling 8 million units in 60 days.
Although Microsoft Xbox received rather warm welcome initially in the United States, it was largely behind market leader Sony PlayStation 2 and could barely outsell Nintendo's GameCube. As a consequence, Microsoft had to introduce next-generation Xbox 360 system roughly four years after the original one.
But the Xbox 360 has become a hit across the world. With over 58 million units sold to date, the X360 ignited the high-definition revolution on the game console market and created a number of new opportunities for Microsoft thanks to add-on hardware like Kinect motion sensor.
The Xbox is evolving and what started as a standard-definition game system with dialup Internet access and mediocre controller is now a high-definition game console with high-speed Internet and motion-sensor. Who knows what will Xbox become in 2021?
