Feedback on new style of Firearms "training" show...
Hello everyone... I recently participated in a few episodes of a new show called "Stop the Threat" and one of them is available online.
I wanted to share the link and get some feedback from members here... not just on this episode or the ideas expressed within, but what are your thoughts on this style of show in general? The "panel of experts" discussing the re-enactments?
Thanks Much for your time!

The style of the re-enactment reminds me to some degree of the scenarios put forward in the NC concealed carry course training video. I think it should be stressed that the re-enactment in this case represents a reasonable approximation of what happened in the actual incident, and if possible, followup discussion should include the legal disposition of the incident as well.
I like the panel approach, and especially appreciate having recognized trainers on the panel.

Cool.... Thanks, Lee!
I think the problem is that many of the re-enactments (as I understand it) are approximations and/or even amalgamations of incidents where there is very little objective fact to go on.... so, it really is about showing *something* and then discussing exactly what we see good, bad and (sometimes) ugly...

Sorry Rob, the video won't play. I get an icon that says I need Adobe Flash 10 or higher. I have Shockwave Flash 11.

It seems to have a problem with Firefox. It runs fine on Chrome and Internet Explorer for me.
Great show! I will follow it intently. In fact, it sparked a great discussion between my wife and I about the situations described.

I'm running Firefox on a Mac, and it ran fine for me. I just did an update to Adobe Flash a couple of days ago.

I saw the pilot several months ago. I think the format is disjointed. The content is relevant, but we need to see the whole video before the discussion starts. and then they can bring the video up at correct points to aid in and display points of the discussion.

I like the format. The host, though, needs to have more experience. He comes across, IMHO, as a typical MSM-type. Maybe someone like a Jim Scoutten or a Dick Metcalf would be better.

Host + Format
I like the role the host plays. I bet he is more knowledgable than he lets on so that he can connect to folks newer to the topics at hand. He'll ask the questions most are thinking inside and leave the questions most need to be thinking about to panel.
I appreciate seeing the video in segments. It provides analysis on the fly which might potentially build some good habits instead of reacting to everything after the fact. We have enough of that in real life. Wouldn't it be great to be able to think: "wait, what should I be worried about at this point?" rather than "did I just get robbed?". The panel discussion is a pretty efficient way of getting inside several people's heads at once. Another alternative would have taken much longer - which would be a running commentary as the video plays for each panel member who has a pause button. Although that might be useful to identify exactly when / what cues a certain thought to a trainer / LEO. A lecture style of seeing the video first and then speaking about it all at once would shift the focus away from the scenario which the audience is supposed to be engaging in.
At first I thought this was going to be like "Crime Strike" - which is a great series of videos by the way. Very novel approach. It was up-beat even when speaking about serious issues and I believe that encourages thought.

That episode was a lot of fun to film. One thing that surprised me about it was how difficult it is to be clear & concise when you are thinking on your feet -- we didn't get to see or discuss the scenario ahead of time, so it was very real, very fast and very fresh as we discussed it.

Wow so that was pretty spontaneous - all of the panel's training kicked in to deal with the situation at hand (stressful filming)
I thought that even if the panel had been given some prompts or sneak peaks it would be very forgivable given the great teaching opportunity. Looks like it worked out very well even without it.

Then you did a really good job at bringing out useful points clearly and quickly - kudos to both of you!

My wife and I just watched the 4 that were posted. We liked the format a lot, especially that each scenario is someone going about a relatively normal life and sometimes doing things right and sometimes making minor errors.
Some of the panel need to learn how not to talk over everyone else (the trainer guy from Texas, especially). After a while, it just degenerated into everyone talking at once, which is a little hard to pick out each person's point.

I agree with Lee, it would be nice to get feedback on the legal disposition of the case after the experts have mulled things over.
It's nice to know what the experts think, it's also nice to know how things played out in the courts.
The informal give and take atmosphere worked well. I thought the long introductions with the person being introduced having to stare at the camera all the way through were a bit awkward. Maybe it would be better to do more brief introductions with some captions to provide additional information.

Funny you should mention the intro bit, John... I was under the impression that they were going to run some b-roll, shots of our books, etc. during that time.
It was awkward to just stare at the camera... in one of the episodes, I actually waved and said "Hi Mom!". We'll see if that makes the cut...
As for the prep time, I think would make the show less interesting. You'd end up with responses that were TOO Tailored to the scene shown. In theory, the people sitting at the table should be able to put out concept & principle based information that apply to the situation in general. Studying one scene too much, or worrying too much about the finest of details usually result in "gaming" the situation, which tends to reduce the usefulness of the information to the person at home who will NEVER be in that exact situation... but might be in one similar.

I can see your point about the risk of things getting too scripted with a lot of prep time. I didn't have a problem with the way the show played with no prep time, so I guess I can't argue against leaving things as they are.

Interesting series and I enjoyed the show; however, several times I noticed you guys using terminology and discussions that would work for the crowd here; but that might be unintelligible to someone without a background in this ("OODA loop" being one example.)
I like the discussion on use of lethal force that followed the incident. I also liked how you highlighted how the rules of different states play in.
I liked that you didn't fall into the trap that a lot of gun-oriented shows do of having a 30 minute show where 10-15 minutes of the content is the show logo/intro (show a 30 second logo before commercial break then again when it comes back from commercial break) and a recap of things they just showed you 5 minutes earlier (often using the same footage even). I understand it is tough to produce content; but I hope you continue to avoid that.

I definitely enjoyed the format. I actually like the disjointed format (or rather seeing some of the video, discussing, seeing more). It's easy to focus on one part of the video and lose a little bit of discussion on some of the other points if you see the whole thing first.

I watch this show every chance I get
Directv is great for things that would have never shown up on cable. The show is a little slow for me bit Mrs. Vermonter really gets into it and discussions do spark.

Community Cabinet comes to Airlie Beach today
Event Description :The Queensland Government meets in Airlie Beach. The pollies have their work cut out for them at the moment given the vast tracks of devistation in the Far North of Queensland and the South East Queensland districts.
We have our fingers crossed about a gentle end to the weather season as Airlie Beach has remained an untouched haven while the rest of Queensland has had so much trouble.

X-Factor panel hopefuls step up
Potential judges for TV3's much-touted rival to the New Zealand's Got Talent juggernaut step into the limelight today at secret judging auditions.
Simon Cowell's X-Factor franchise will film here next year but prospective judges will be put through their paces at a four-hour audition at TV3's Mt Eden studios in Auckland.
It comes as the wildly popular TV One show NZ's Got Talent moves into the semifinal phase today and allows viewers to vote for the first time.
The Herald on Sunday understands vocalists from around Auckland will attend the X-Factor audition and each will have three pieces critiqued in a marathon audition to judge the judges.
One industry insider said enormous secrecy surrounded the make-up of the panel.
It had been speculated the acerbic Paul Henry would spearhead the four-strong judging team, but his move to morning television in Australia had presumably canned that idea.
An official announcement on the panel was due in a couple of weeks but it is already understood former New Zealand Idol host Dominic Bowden has been lured back from his X-Factor audience warm-up role in the US to host the New Zealand show.
In X-Factor, each judge mentors a group of finalists, while sitting on the judging panel.
The New Zealand X-Factor winner will be signed to Sony Music. The UK version launched the internationally acclaimed singer Leona Lewis and boy band One Direction, which wowed crowds here earlier in the year.
Meanwhile, as the first six semifinalists in NZ's Got Talent hit the stage tonight, barefoot Hamilton singer Dane Moeke has been revealed as a hero.
Dane, who drew attention at his audition for singing without shoes, rescued his best friend at Mt Maunganui last year.
Friends celebrating Dane's 21st birthday in February got into trouble at the surf beach.
Dane's friends were washed ashore but Dane's best mate, Harrison Jull, went under.
"Everything happened so quickly," Dane said. "The waves were going crazy and I turned around to see all my friends had been washed up on to the shore apart from my best mate who had disappeared.
"He wasn't the greatest of swimmers so I ended up going in after him and bringing him back in."
Dane joked Harrison was relieved his mate didn't have to perform CPR back on the beach.
Other semifinalists include single mother-of-twins Ari Laine, illusionists Andre Vegas and Company, tin-whistler Bethany Waugh, hip-hop dancer Connor Masseurs and 11-year-old Jessie Hillel.
Tonight is the first of six New Zealand's Got Talent semifinal episodes.
For the first time, Kiwis have the chance to vote for their favourite act. It costs 99c to vote, by texting the name of your favourite to 8981. You can also vote via the NZGT iPhone app.
The top-voted act goes through to the final each week, with the judges deciding which of the next two highest-polling acts also go through. In all, 12 acts will be selected from the 30 semifinalists and one wildcard entry.
Those 12 will perform in a two-hour grand final on November 25. The winner will be announced on December 2.

Arsène Wenger has urged his players to get the fans behind them by finding their form against Bolton.
Arsenal's supporters have given the side tremendous backing during recent defeats at Manchester United and Blackburn and, despite a nervous first half against Shrewsbury Town in midweek, the Emirates crowd helped inspire their team to a hard-fought victory.
Now Wenger has urged his players to take responsibility for lifting the mood of the crowd.
"I always feel that the vibes have to come out from the team," he told Arsenal Player. "If the vibes coming out from the team are right, the crowd will follow and support us.
"So let's focus on us being right because the crowd feels that. We believe they have to trust us on that.
"We will bounce back and I think it starts from us being determined, from us being united, from us trusting each other and us playing the football we want to play. Let's focus on that quality. We had 20 shots on goal at Blackburn, let's continue to play our game."
The full interview with Wenger is now available on Arsenal Player. The boss discusses: the Carling Cup win, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, the visit of Bolton, rebuilding confidence and improving in defence.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

eLearnSecurity (WAPT) course for newbie
I've been a software tester for 12 years (my how time flies) and I am thinking of taking the WAPT course. My current employer has a large online presence and web based security is an area they are lacking in.
I do like the content of the WAPT course but I am concerned it maybe a bit over my head? I have knowledge of most web based languages and can code to an immediate level in Java, C#, Lua, Python etc.
Would you advise me to take this course based on my skill set?

It's a question I've been wondering since we got rid of Bradshaw..we're not going to use Wilson in returns obviously, so who will be making returns?
It's a tradition for us, some of our best players have started off as returners:
Sehorn (but that move is what caused his career IMO, God damn Jets)
Are we going to use someone from last year, or someone we drafted? Do you guys think it'll be just a special teams player, or someone who can fill more of a role rather than a David Meggett? I don't even think the guy we drafted in the last round (Michael Cox) had a pro-day, I can't find his 40 time. Not only that, his picture kinda looks like it's one of those portrait pictures from the late 60's that you'd find on a football card lmao kinda looks like an old man.
Face it, you gotta be fast to return kicks..sure, speed isn't everything, but if you don't have the speed and stamina, you're going to run out of steam and be taken down before you can score (see Brian Mitchell, Chad Morton, Darius Reynaud, etc). That's honestly one of the reasons I felt Bradshaw's time as a Giant was done because he'd break for a long run and run out of steam..David Wilson doesn't do that.
Having said that, what are our options as of now? This is a touchy subject because you don't want to plug in a player who has the potential of getting injured on a return when he's supposed to be playing on most downs on offense/defense.


text: A part of me wants Norv to come here and relive the glory days but has this offensive system really worked anywhere lately? San Diego seemed to put up big numbers until the end of the year and then falter as well. With Norv will we just get more of the same? I hope so but is there a better system for us to invest in? What are the other systems out there other than the West Coast system pioneered by Walsh?

No life experience instills and embodies that Work Hard/Party Hard mantra better than college. And with this recession forever nipping at our collective asses, the least we can do is show you a good time at a reasonable price. So here's a gathering of wallet-friendly shows, eats, and activities around the state to keep you entertained right through the academic calendar.
Our favorite live spot in for local and national touring artists, the Met (themetri.com, 401.729.1005) in Pawtucket, is the perfect size for luring in quality acts on a regular basis. Make tracks for these killer (and all ages!) shows: this Friday, January 25, it's NJ indie-punk heroes TITUS ANDRONICUS ($15); for those about to rawk, head there February 1 for local greats THE EMPIRE SHALL FALL with ACARO, SWARM OF EYES, and plenty more; then get right back there February 2 when 95.5 WBRU-FM hosts WALK THE MOON with PACIFIC AIR. If your little sister is in town visiting on February 28, she will be super-pumped to know that AARON CARTER will be in town getting his groove on in Le Bucket. And how about this superb double bill featuring LUCERO and our JOE FLETCHER & THE WRONG REASONS on March 23. If you haven't hopped aboard the official Joe Fletcher bandwagon by now, I suggest doing so ASAP. They'll also play the Jamestown Arts Center (jamestownartscenter.org, 401.560.0979) on February 22 with KEITH McCURDY of Vudu Sister.
At the Met's big brother in downtown PVD, Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel (lupos.com, 401.331.5876), the ladies will be swooning for CITIZEN COPE on January 25 ($30 day of show). And what better way to spend a Wednesday evening (February 6) than rolling your balls off at the BARSTOOL BLACKOUT FOAM PARTY; the Blackout parties always sell out so get tix in advance (18+, $36). Two days later another guaranteed sell-out arrives with GRACE POTTER & THE NOCTURNALS on February 8 (all ages, $30 in advance). A trio of national dates worth noting in March: TENACIOUS D goes "Old School Acoustic Style" on March 3; DRIVE BY TRUCKERS pull in on March 8; and CIRCA SURVIVE and MINUS THE BEAR rock out on March 15. All three shows are all ages and onsale now.
WBRU's annual ROCK HUNT throwdown returns with the semifinals slated for March 15 and 16 and March 22 and 23 (locations TBA). The Rice Cakes, the '12 champs, injected some much-needed life into the proceedings, and some quality competition along the way made for some great nights at the Ocean Mist, the Spot Underground, and Newport Grand. Check wbru.com for upcoming details.
Attention hip-hop heads — 2013 marks the 10-year anniversary of DJ STERBYROCK's revered "Warped Wax Wednesdays" show on URI's 90.3 WRIU-FM.

Undercover officers talk about ETSU basketball arrests
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - We're learning more facts about the arrest of two ETSU men's basketball players. We sat down with the undercover officers leading the investigation to find out where it all started.
ETSU's men's basketball teamed rallied to pull out a win Tuesday night despite two key players not making the trip. According to a university spokesman, seniors Sheldon Cooley and Marcus Dubose have been suspended indefinitely from the team following their arrest on drug charges.
The arrests have students talking around campus. Drew Singleton told us it's "not really surprising given the stuff that went on last year."
Cooley and Dubose were arrested by members of the First Judicial District Drug Task Force. We sat down with the undercover officer leading the investigation; he tells us the players were arrested after university Post Office officials called his office about a suspicious package. "There was a package to be delivered to Mr. Dubose," the man explained. "We decided to wait for Mr. Dubose to accept the package."
Agents tell us the shipment contained several ounces of marijuana. Dubose was arrested and charged with drug possession for resale.
Officers then searched the on-campus apartment Dubose shares with teammate Sheldon Cooley. "That was to look for more evidence of drug trafficking, or more drugs in his apartment," the undercover officer explained.
Officers say they found scales commonly used to weigh marijuana; Dubose and Cooley both denied owning them.
Both were charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.
Officers tell us a second shipment arrived Tuesday; it is now up to the postmaster to determine what happens with it.
With the loss of the team's top scorers, students we talked with say they are wondering what this means for the basketball season.
Agents say the investigation is ongoing and more charges are possible.
You may recall Sheldon Cooley was charged in 2011 for filing a false police report after a robbery at his on-campus apartment. He was convicted and given probation.

North Georgia Receives Faster Internet Connections
The high speed broadband project bringing over 1000 miles of fiber-optic connections to the North Georgia mountains is not yet complete, but has already brought internet speeds 20 to 50 times faster than before to the local area schools and businesses.
The $42 million North Georgia Network project began in 2009 as a joint effort by economic development leaders in Dawson, Forsyth, Lumpkin, Union, and White Counties, as well as scholars from North Georgia College & State University, Blue Ridge Mountain EMC, and Habersham EMC to bring faster internet connections to the local communities. The core of the broadband effort is finished, but work on completing connections to businesses, schools and other users in the area is still ongoing and should be completed by the end of the year.
One school in Lumpkin County has experienced more internet bandwidth than the entire district put together did just one year ago due to the new connections. White County Schools' pipeline to the Internet has increased 50 times, allowing teachers to incorporate previously hard-to-download videos and videoconferencing into their lesson plans. And the district's 400 iPads can all now stream video simultaneously.
Economic development officials say the network will also bolster existing businesses and attract new high-tech companies to the region.
"Over the past decades we've seen technology influence where businesses locate," said North Georgia Network President Bruce Abraham. "To offer a good quality of life, companies want to be able to place their businesses in areas away from the high-traffic and high-cost of living that defines Atlanta. By creating the North Georgia Network we've put into place the infrastructure to attract top companies to North Georgia."
Vice President Joe Biden came to Georgia in late 2009 to announce the federal funding for the project. A $33 million federal stimulus grant is paying for most of the project, with local funds covering the remaining $9 million.

"To a degree, yes (I was surprised)," Brown said. "You have never really heard about the Giants making that many moves but Im not upset about it. It all looks like its going to be for the best. As long as we can get in here and talk and gel together, I think were going to be a great secondary."
But Brown was glad to be back. The Giants waited out the exclusive rights period, and Brown, who broke out in 2012 with eight interceptions before tearing his ACL in the preseason last year, said he heard enough rumblings from other teams to know he could get a job elsewhere.
He just didn't want to.
"You hear from certain teams that you like, you hear from certain teams you dont like, but all-and-all and I always wanted to be here so whenever we were able to get what we wanted here it was easy to decide," Brown said.
The good news for the Giants is that Brown tore his ACL early enough that his rehab shouldn't railroad the team's offseason plans. Though it usually takes a player more than a year to fully recover, Brown is confident that he can be the same player he was in 2012." Read more...

This song was originally written around the time of the Civil War. Elvis later sang it with rewritten lyrics:
"Love Me Tender"
Original version
Wouldn't that be Guvnah Jimmie Davis?
"You Are My Sunshine" is a popular song first recorded in 1939. It has been declared one of the state songs of Louisiana as a result of its association with former state governor and country music singer Jimmie Davis. The song is copyright 1940 Peer International Corporation, words and music by Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell.[1] According to a 1990 article by Theodore Pappas, the original song was written by Oliver Hood.
Two versions of "You Are My Sunshine" were recorded and released prior to Jimmie Davis' version. The first was recorded for Bluebird Records (RCA-Victor's budget label) on August 22, 1939 by The Pine Ridge Boys (Marvin Taylor and Doug Spivey), who were from Atlanta.[3] The second was recorded for Decca Records on September 13, 1939 by The Rice Brothers Gang.[4] This group was originally from north Georgia, but had relocated to Shreveport, Louisiana, where they were performing on the city's KWKH radio station. The version by Jimmie Davis was recorded for Decca Records on February 5, 1940.[5]
Davis and Charles Mitchell are the credited songwriters of "You Are My Sunshine". Davis bought the song and rights from Paul Rice and put his own name on it, a practice not uncommon in the pre-World War II music business.[2] Some early versions of the song, however, do credit the Rice Brothers. According to some accounts, clarinetist Pud Brown was also involved with the Rice Brothers for the song's origin or first arrangement.
In 1956, Carl Perkins adapted his "Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby" into his own song and in 1964 The Beatles covered it on the album Beatles for Sale.
"Joseph told me that he was walking along a road in Honolulu 42 years ago (c. 1893), holding an old Spanish guitar when he say a rusty bolt on the ground. As he picked it up, the bolt accidentally vibrated one of the strings and produced a new tone that was rather pleasing. After practicing for a time with the metal bolt, Joe experimented with the back of a pocket knife, then with the back of a steel comb and still later on with a highly polished steel (bar) very similar to the sort that is used today."
Alan Lomax: Recording The World
Alan Lomax wanted to create a record of world sound. From 1933 until he stopped working in 2002, two years before his death, Lomax devoted his life to preserving the folk songs of the past.
He traveled everywhere from Mississippi to Japan searching for folk music, collecting thousands of songs and recording musicians such as Muddy Waters, Woody Guthrie, Vera Hall and Leadbelly, whom he met in a prison.
"[Lomax was] in Angola prison and they ran into one guy who was singer par excellence," says John Szwed, professor of music and jazz studies at Columbia University and the author of the new biography, Alan Lomax: The Man Who Recorded the World.
Szwed tells Weekend All Things Considered host Guy Raz, "Everything about him radiated confidence and security in what he was doing."

Discussion in 'The Coffee Shop ~ Chit Chat' started by rileyjr16, Apr 15, 2012.
I was MIA for a while just curious as to what happened to the chat feature?
Filthy little hackers broke it.
I'd like to shoot them....why do tards have to hack everything? Is that like a sexual thrill for some geek who cain't get laid or something?
It was taken down temporarily while Steve puts the old system back into place.
I wonder if the chat plugin was actually the cause or if Steve is simply searching for something better while he goes through this exercise. I get the sense the cause is unknown but that Steve was never completely happy with that plugin... and that while he's at it he might as well find a replacement. Just a suspicion...
I figured out what the hackers did and how they did it and we are putting steps into place to keep it from happening again.
We should do a poll on here, what do people like, the current chat system or the old chat system?
On the new chat system I liked the popout feature, the ability to colour text, the ability to start private chat rooms, and the ability to have individual chats (on the bar ... without starting a separate chat room). I think it hands-down trumped the old chat system except for one thing -- it has a session timeout of some sort that comes into place if you use the chat in pop-out mode and you do not refresh your browser for some time. When it times out you have to refresh a GMTC window to make chat work again ... and you lose the displayed chat history when you do it.
I think the default chat room is now as empty as it is because the new system doesn't dump people into the default room, anymore.
X2 on what surreal said that time out drives me up the ******* wall now if we can keep the knew one and all the cool featurs and get rid of the time out then it would be heaven
↑3rd that! ☺
---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------
Haha...I think it is a sense of accomplishment for them. Almost like they solved the puzzle. I think they do it just to see if they can do it.
Why does a person climb a mountain? Why do Chevy truck owners run through the puddle , rather than around it? . Does a tree make a sound when falling if there is no one there to hear it? Chicken crossing the road?:rofl:

Ok, everything seems against my planning. Didn't have stuff ready for the first swarms of the year.
Was going to cut a tree down in my yard with a hive in it, but my chain saw had some issues so it is in the shop. Fixing to borrow one and drop the tree but wanted to ask.
Should I immediately remove all the comb and transfer the hive as soon as I drop the tree or should I wait a day for the hive to calm down.
What do the experts think?
But that tree is coming down today. lol

Injured Virginia state trooper returns home
SCOTT COUNTY, Va. - The road to recovery for Virginia State Trooper Jamie Lawson could be a long one, but being home with family and friends will hopefully help move that recovery along.
Saturday was a day filled with many emotions when a helicopter made its way into Gate City. On board was Trooper Jamie Lawson, arriving back home after a lengthy hospital stay. "I'm just overwhelmed with joy. Two months is a really long time to be without your dad and not be able to see him as much as you usually do," said Lawson's daughter, Ashley Lawson.
Ashley is Trooper Lawson's daughter and his biggest fan. "I have full respect for my dad for doing his job," says Ashley Lawson.
Jamie Lawson was seriously injured after a suspect led police on a high speed chase April 9. In a split-second decision, Trooper Lawson rammed his car into a dump truck instead of hitting a tree, causing some severe injuries to himself. Click here to read more about the accident.
"You just never know [what could happen] when you leave home, and I'm an example of that," says Trooper Lawson.
He suffered a serious spinal cord injury that severely damaged his left arm and leg. Trooper Lawson was sent to the Shepherd Center, an Atlanta Rehabilitation Facility, and hasn't been home since the crash. "Whenever I first found out, it just really hit me hard. That's my dad and he's suppose to take care of me, but then I had to take care of him," says Ashley Lawson.
Now almost two months later, Trooper Lawson is back home. "You don't know how many friends you have until you see this," says Lawson about his homecoming.
Lawson says he's overwhelmed with the amount of support to welcome him home and he's proud to be a part of this community. "If you can't get motivated from seeing all this then it'll never happen, but it's going to happen. I will walk again without any devices and I believe that," he said.
Trooper Lawson wants to send a message to everyone. "Don't take things for granted. I did, but like I said, you never know when something will happen when you leave home," Lawson adds.
All of the proceeds from Saturday's benefit ride will go to Trooper Lawson and his family.

A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that helps reveal how your tissues and organs are functioning. A PET scan uses a radioactive drug (tracer) to show this activity.
The tracer may be injected, swallowed or inhaled, depending on which organ or tissue is being studied by the PET scan. The tracer collects in areas of your body that have higher levels of chemical activity, which often correspond to areas of disease. On a PET scan, these areas show up as bright spots.
A PET scan is useful in revealing or evaluating several conditions, including some cancers, heart disease and brain disorders.

Ocala Speedway's Inaugural World of Outlaws Late Model Series Event On March 19 Introduces Unique Track To National Audience
Come Fri., March 19, Ocala Speedway will be officially introduced to a national dirt Late Model audience.
That evening the World of Outlaws Late Model Series is scheduled to make a first-ever stop at the central Florida track, focusing the attention of the dirt Late Model world on a venerable facility that has never before hosted such a significant, star-studded event for the division.
Now in just its third season of dirt racing following more than a decade as an asphalt track, Ocala Speedway is ready to bust into the full-fender spotlight. In that vein, here's some things a dirt Late Model fan needs to know about a track that will end a month of inactivity for the WoO LMS with a 50-lap, $10,000-to-win spectacular – the first time the national tour will compete in the Sunshine State outside of Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville.
* Ocala Speedway is the oldest track in Florida – seven years older than Daytona International Speedway, in fact. But while 2010 marks its 58th year of operation, it certainly doesn't look its age thanks to numerous facility upgrades over the past decade, including the installation of a stadium-style grandstand with seating for 4,000, bright Musco lighting and a superb sound system; construction of buildings featuring checkerboard floors, new restrooms and a children's play area; and an all-asphalt and cement pit area.
* The track operated with a dirt surface from its birth in 1952 until being paved in 1995. Clay was put back down prior to the 2008 season and the speedway has been building momentum ever since.
* Ocala Speedway is owned by Michael Peters and his fiancée Angie Clifton. The couple – Peters, 40, is a former jet pilot for the defunct ATA Airlines and Clifton, 42, is a vice-president of a bank – purchased the track in late 2005 after deciding to take a shot at promoting a venue that was rumored to be ripe for closing if an energized buyer didn't step up.
A racer in Ocala's V-8 Thunder Stock class, Peters found life as a track operator to be a tough proposition. While struggling to increase attendance during the 2006 and 2007 seasons, he sometimes wondered whether taking a leave of absence from his job with the airline to concentrate on the speedway was a mistake.
Then, after the completion of the 2007 campaign, Peters announced he was returning Ocala to its roots as a dirt track. He brought in 350 truckloads of clay to cover the surface and, just like that, the speedway was literally reborn. More than 180 cars signed in for the first practice session on dirt in January 2008 and a standing-room-only crowd turned out for the track's grand reopening, on Feb. 29, 2008.
"It was the right decision to make," Peters said of Ocala's resurfacing. "The difference has been like night and day. We tried everything to get people to come out when the track was paved but just weren't getting anywhere. Now there's just so much more excitement about the racing, it's made my job that much easier."
* Dirt Late Models running under the National Late Model Series rules compete every other week at Ocala. The class, which alternates as the track's headliner each Friday night with the DIRTcar UMP Modifieds, draws solid fields – and Peters said several regulars plan to enter the WoO LMS event in hopes of making the starting lineup of the biggest dirt Late Model show in Ocala's history.
* The speedway boasts one of the most unique layouts of any dirt track in the country. A D-shaped, three-eighths-mile oval with a pronounced dog-leg on the backstretch, it's a challenge for any driver to navigate smoothly.
"One and two are long, sweeping turns that guys can go through wide-open," described Peters, "but then they have to slow down for a much tighter hairpin through (turns) three and four.
"It makes the racing real interesting. A lot of people will actually set their car up for one end or the other because they're so different."
Ocala will be uncharted territory for most of the traveling WoO LMS stars, including defending champion Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., who turns 22 just three days after the track's tour event. He was one of a handful of Outlaws who planned to test at Ocala before the recent DIRTcar Nationals by UNOH at nearby Volusia Speedway Park, but wet weather prevented any drivers from getting on the track.
One of the few WoO LMS regulars with experience on Ocala's dirt is Clint Smith of Senoia, Ga. He remembers finishing fourth in a Hav-A-Tampa/Southern All-Stars Series special held there on Feb. 13, 1993 – the last time a major touring dirt Late Model series competed at the track.
The Outlaws will certainly face a formidable foe in Ocala native Ivedent Lloyd, the 1992-1993 Ocala Speedway dirt Late Model champion and a winner of four features at the track over the past two seasons. A two-time Southern All-Stars titlist, Lloyd has plenty of laps at his hometown oval and has run well in WoO LMS action in the past.
* There's an unprecedented buzz surrounding the inaugural WoO LMS event at Ocala. A packed house watched last month's All-Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Car Winternationals show and Peters expects his ticket sellers to be busy again on March 19.
"A World of Outlaws Late Model Series race is what we've been building toward since we went dirt," said Peters. "I went to high school (Ocala Forest) with Tim Christman (the director of the WoO LMS and part-owner/promoter of Ocala Speedway for the 2002-2003 seasons), and he called me to talk as soon as he heard I was putting dirt down. I told him I definitely wanted to have a World of Outlaws someday and now here we are."
Ocala's pit gates are scheduled to open at 1 p.m. and the grandstands will be unlocked at 5 p.m. on March 19. Racing is set to start at 8 p.m.
General admission tickets to the WoO LMS program, which will also include action for the track's Hobby Stock and Mini-Stock divisions, will be $25 (adults), $12 (ages 6-16) and free for kids 6-and-under. Pit passes will cost $35 and $15 for children 12-and-under.
The Ocala Speedway event is part of a Southeast doubleheader for the WoO LMS, which moves on to Screven Motor Speedway in Sylvania, Ga., on March 20.

CEH Cert
Ok let's see:
Do you have any pros and cons between online and self-study?
Is it better to pass the 5 day bootcamp?
About the pre-requisite, anyone been through that process?
I don't have the 2 years working on security but i do have a AS degree in IT.
Are the book's prices separate from the training price?
One last question for now. Have you been able to get a job with your certification, it's a dumb question but i am just going to go ahead and ask it.
A little bit about myself. I have an AS degree, i have been a NOC Technician for more than a month(my first job). I have a MCP and a CCNA cert as my signature says. and i live in south Florida, US. I love network security and i won't stop until i get into the field. I have heard good things of the CISSP cert, but i think that is just not for me at the moment. Any advice you guys can give me would be appreciated.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Coolmax and moisture management
May 2, 2007 at 7:34 am #1223063
I bought a couple pairs of Injinji tetrasok's ("toe socks"), and ordered these through the mail to get the "performance" series, the ones made with Coolmax. My thought was to use these as my liner socks to reduce or eliminate toe blisters.
According to the package these are 70% Coolmax, 25% Nylon, and 5% Lycra.
The package says to machine wash warm and line dry, so I just did a low spin cycle and then hung them up on a hanger in my bathtub last night.
Eight hours later these are still quite wet. Were these normal liner socks, they would be close to if not completely dry by now. This suprised me, but sort of matches my initial feel of the socks, that they didn't feel as dry on my feet as I had expected, though I'm not really sure of that (yet).
The packaging for the socks talks about "a CooMax moisture wicking lining and a resistant nylon outer shell built with Lycra fibers".
In the FAQ on http://www.coolmax.invista.com there's this text:
"Energy Saving Tip! > Because Coolmax® is so quick drying, you really don't need to use your dryer. If you've got clothes made from 100% Coolmax®, just hang 'em up to dry and be amazed at how quick it happens! Great tip for travel too!"
Well, I was amazed alright, but not in the way they suggest.
Any ideas of what's going on here? Is the particular sock material blend that Injinji used defeating the general purpose use of CoolMax, or … ?
Further muddying the waters, I see on the CoolMax website that there are three types of CoolMax: "Everyday", "Active", and "Extreme". No where I can find either on the packaging or http://www.injinji.com which of those is used; I've seen that elsewhere too (including on this site) — sometimes a product will specify which type of CoolMax is used, others it just generically says that it's CoolMax and leaves it at that.
Liner socks that are quite wet after hanging for eight hours in a dry room aren't something I care to take along on an extended backpacking trip. I'll test these further to see how well they dry out when I'm walking in them, but I would appreciate any insights on this from others.

Hi Brian:
When traveling, I wash my synthetics at night in my hotels, and they are usually dry by morning. Thus far, my experience has been:
1. Clothes dry the slowest when hung in an inside bathroom (i.e. no windows). If the bathroom is used (i.e. tub or even wash basin), then drying time will be even longer.
2. Clothes hung inside a closet — with the doors open — will dry faster than (1) above.
3. Clothes hung every which way in the room itself will almost always dry overnight — esp. if AC or heater or fan is on — or if windows are open.
4. Clothes hung outside will always dry overnight successfully (barring rain of course).
As for your socks, I don't think you will have any problems with them drying if you leave them out in the vestibule where they can air out overnight — but still be protected from the rain.
Finally, I've found that even if clothing is still somewhat damp when put on, my body heat will dry them in just minutes — especially if I am actively moving about. This works in all but freezing temps. :)May 2, 2007 at 10:42 am #1387911
Thanks, Benjamin, good points.
But — in an apples-to-apples context, I know that if I hang my normal fairly thin liner socks in the same place for the same time, they would be significantly dryer, if not dry. I hung a not-all-that-thin synthetic t-shirt nearby and it was pretty dry this morning.
I had an experience some years ago doing 8 days in the Olympic National Forest where a pair of fairly bulky wool socks got wet and they just never dried out. After that I'm a little leery of things that take a while to dry; where I live, it sometimes gets and stays wet and cold-humid day after day of a long backpacking trip.
So your general points about drying things are good, but what I'm particularly interested in here is whether I've just misunderstood something about Coolmax, for example, maybe 100% coolmax is needed rather than some hybrid to get the drying qualities … etc.May 2, 2007 at 10:59 am #1387915

@ben2worldLocale: So Cal
Yeah, my observations were pretty general.
Wool can take a long time to dry — as compared to synthetics. I can see how thicker woolen socks might stay "perpetually" damp in the PNW…
But Coolmax is supposed to dry relatively quickly — including 75% coolmax. I have dried coolmax tees without problems. Question: how did you hang your socks? I usually hang them in a way that they stay a bit hollow and rounded (to the extent possible). In contrast, draping them flat on the shower pole (^) would be less efficient.May 2, 2007 at 11:53 am #1387926
I draped them over a plastic coat hanger and hung that on the shower head. So yes — they weren't rounded, pretty flat, though the tetrasoks have some "anatomical shape" to them, you really can't completely flatten the heel part completely. And indeed, it's an interior bathroom, no windows.
Perhaps part of the issue is that this material feels like it might be just a little thicker than my other liner socks. It stands to reason that — all things being equal — thicker material will take longer to dry. But the differing composition of the materials should mean that all things aren't equal!

You are so clever! What a lucky friend.
How did you cover the recipe book. Pockets for the cover? Glue stick? :lol: Curious minds want to know. [I have daughters I'm always trying to come up with unique gifts for. ] Thanx!
Great Idea! They turned out beautiful, what a lucky friend :D :D :D
What a clever idea. :thumbup: :thumbup:
It is a composition book I purchased at Dollar General.. I measured it and cut out the cover fabric with a 2 inch allowance.. I then cut out the batting the same size as the composition book.. I did the block and appliquéd it to the cover material and batting... I used a glued stick to glue it all to the composition notebook with a small bead of hot glue on the outer edges of the book.. On the inside I measured a 9x6 in finished block and hot glued it down with a small bead.. I wanted the inside of the book is also finished...Quote:

Thank you for sharing your methodology. Now all I need is a little time. :roll: That is really a neat book and everyone can always use a new journal/recipe book.
;) Great idea, your a clever lady, your friend is a lucky one, Great Job!
Very nice!! I bet your friend will simply love them! Great way to use the composition book! I covered one in white satin, made the front like a soft sculp photo frame for a friend's wedding guest book (We were on a strict budget). I love your idea of making a quilted recipe book!! Maybe I should make one for my friend and see if it brings back any wedding day memories :D

Capturing childhood memories for future generations
When Mary Jo McCarthy looked up her grandfather's name on a genealogy website, she learned what ship he had been on when he came to America and other basic facts.
But what McCarthy yearned for were his stories — the stories of his childhood, the stories that gave her a glimpse into the man he was. Unfortunately, those stories were lost forever since they were never written down.
McCarthy, a former teacher now freelance writer, helped a Crosslake man pen three autobiographical, self-published books. She wanted to find a way to help other people write down their childhood memories before they, too, were lost.
She prayed about it and got her answer.
Since April, McCarthy has been facilitating writing workshops to help participants write down their own stories. This is not a chronological personal history, but little snippets of their lives, including their favorite childhood memories.
McCarthy said few people want to read someone's life story from beginning to end; instead, they would rather hear interesting stories of what their lives were like and their family traditions.
McCarthy said many people think they can't write their own stories because they're not a writer. You don't have to be, she said. But you are the best person to write down your own memories because no one can capture those moments like you can, she said.
"I found if you're writing someone else's memories, it's tough to get into them and really do them justice," McCarthy said, which is why she wanted participants to write down their own stories in their own words.
For the past two months, McCarthy has hosted "A Time to Remember" writing workshops. The classes run from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and are held once or twice per month at Lutheran Church of the Cross in Nisswa. The classes are limited to 12 participants.
Registration fee is $25. Workshop participants need only to bring their own lunch. McCarthy provides paper, although those who wish to bring a laptop to write on instead may do so.
McCarthy guides participants through the writing process by providing writing prompts, or specific questions about their childhood, and they are given time to write those answers down. When everyone is finished answering the question, then the group talks about what each has written about, which often sparks additional details and memories. It also makes the class fun.
McCarthy said her goal is for each workshop participant to complete 15-20 stories that they can take home in a folder, make copies of, and pass down to their children and grandchildren. While many people often say they should write about their lives for their grandchildren, often many people do not.
"They think it's too big of a task, and so they don't start," McCarthy said. "They need that encouragement that they can do it. It's their memories, and they can write it."
"This has been a delight," Joyce Olson, a Hardy Lake resident, said as she attended McCarthy's May 16 writing workshop. "I've been procrastinating about writing my memoir, and I thought this would get me started."
Pam Lillehei, Breezy Point, published a book in 2008 about her faith journey through breast cancer. Even though she has been published before, she felt the class would help her get started on a second book.
"I feel there's another book in me I'd like to write," Lillehei said. "This has been very good for bringing up memories, things I hadn't thought about in a long time."
Workshop participants shared stories about taffy pulls, making popcorn balls, playing long-forgotten outdoor games with siblings and schoolmates and participating in their Christmas Sunday school programs.
"I love it because I feel I'm giving something to these people for their grandkids," McCarthy said.
To register for an "A Time to Remember" writing workshop, call McCarthy at 218-543-4656.

Despite playoff loss, Bobcat fans proud of season
BOZEMAN, Mont. - It was round two of Bobcat fans showing their support for blue and gold, as the team faced Sam Houston in a home playoff game on Friday.
The day started early for some fans.
When asked what time he got to the stadium to tailgate, fan Derek Dejong said "roughly about two o'clock."
Dejong and his group got the spirit going hours before kickoff.
"We have the fire going, and we have the camper and food" said his friend, John Mahoney.
Others headed to local bars. Spectators was filled with fans.
"People like to stay in here, and get out of the cold" said general manager Dylan Domanski.
He said he was running around all evening, and said this year's playoff games have been great for business.
"The last couple of home games have been the busiest home games we've had" he said. "Even compared to last year- our last couple playoff games- these ones have been really, really huge for us."
And, of course, fans braved the cold at Bobcat Stadium to show their pride, and hope for a win. Fans we talked to said they didn't want to miss the chance to support their team in-person, and on such a big night.
We asked MSU students Jeremy Kugler and Grace Anderson if they were feeling the cold. "No" Kugler said.
"Not with the atmosphere in there" Anderson said, adding "it's hot and crazy."
Reil Cornelius is roommates with an MSU football player, and said he supports the team no matter what.
"It's chilly temperature-wise, but in our hearts we're all Bobcats- and it's very warm. We're creating a lot of energy" he said, adding that the fact the Bobcats made it this far in the season was "giving us a lot of pride."
Win or lose, fans said they're proud the Cats did so well this year- and they'll always bleed blue and gold.
The MSU Bobcats lost to Sam Houston with a score of 34 to 16.

Re: Chat about Jamie's Food Revolution and connect with others
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your Food Revolution show. I'm really struggling with my daughter's eating habits. She's been diagnosed as a borderline diabetic ... and needs to improve her eating habits. She's 17, 5'11" and 125 lbs -- not exactly your average candidate for Type 2. She won't eat any fruits, very few veg, and consists on meat, fat and carbs. I try to provide, by example, enjoyment of a diverse diet and she has ample access to fruits and veg. While her father has radically changed his own diet, as a Scott -- grew up mostly on meat and potatoes -- living in Colorado sometimes doesn't help that bias. I love Farmer's markets and access to local produce. PLEASE help!

Small confession - I have had a crush on Jamie since is first show. Small kitchen, young boy with plenty of odd sayings and food noises. He had my heart and soul. A handsome man with wonderful values and cooks! i frequently cook his easy and whimsical recipes.
Food Revolution is a mission I will gladly back up! I would hope to speak for the East Coast of Canada in saying: Sweetheart, we believe in you! I have faith you are making a lasting difference in the world.
Love always, a fan and subscriber to your love of food education,

Re: Chat about Jamie's Food Revolution and connect with others
I worked with the NISD in San Antonio TX in the cafe and the food was so processed sometimes I didn't recognize it. Living in a dominate Hispanic city every day rice and beans and enchiladas were served. The school I worked in most of the time was a middle school and they always offered pizza (Redbarron) , fries, burgers. Very little fresh fruit and vegetables were offered. Fruit and veggies that were served were canned. Some salads were served usually only about 10-12 for a school of over 1000 kids. I asked one of the ladies I worked with about why the food was so carb and fat overloaded, and her response was that some children are on assistance and this may be the only meal they get each day and that is why the meals were the way they were. I can understand, but having a daughter diagnosed with type 1 at the age of 9, you really get to know food. Unfortunately the school districts do not really care much about what the children are eating it seems they care mostly about the bottom dollar. My son just graduated from high school and at the end of his junior year he said he didn't like to eat at school due to the over load of junk food. He would take his lunch or not eat at all. This needs to be changed across the country. Please keep going. Thank you Jamie for doing something that should have been done years ago.

Re: Chat about Jamie's Food Revolution and connect with others
Hi Jamie! I'm a 12-year-old kid in the Seattle area and I strongly believe there needs to be a change. I attend private school that serves hot deli food from a nearby grocery store as their hot lunch, so I haven't noticed too much of a problem, but my friends in public school are unhappy with their lunches. It shocks me to look at food items eaten every day by Americans and see all the preservatives and other crappy ingredients loaded inside them. That's why I eat all-natural and organic foods on a regular basis. I'm so passionate about this topic that I created a healthy cooking blog, YouTube channel for cooking videos, and I'm writing a cookbook as well. I think America needs lots of kid and teen advocates for this issue because other kids will actually be motivated by seeing people their own age making a difference. If you want to see how I'm supporting the food revolution and the fight for changing the way this country eats, you can check out my websites and videos. I tried posting the links, but the forum wouldn't let me. So instead I'll put the words of the links in caps (in order) so you can type it in on your own time.

Thank you! Go Food Revolution!

Re: Chat about Jamie's Food Revolution and connect with others
Good on you R.Steiner. If I wasn't so far away (Australia) I would be in it with you.
As for good food, I am so sick of hearing people say nothing can be changed......everything can be changed if only people stick together to make those changes. Sitting on the sidelines waiting to see what happens will not effect change, only we the people united can make change happen, so stand up and be counted and join those who have the guts and determination to make change happen in food and in life.
It's up to us, Jamie cannot do it on his own

Re: Chat about Jamie's Food Revolution and connect with others
Thanks for taking your quest to the media! It is a great tool in your hands. I haven't always liked the effect of TV regardless of the content on social conditions that need attention, it can often fall into the category of fiction when people take it in as entertainment, while you have succeeded in bringing home more than that through your excellent unfilter view of the kids feelings, as well as your exuberant presentations of facts (1 year of fast food, a bus load of sugar, etc..). It's brilliant!
I have been following this season in LA online. It's great, man! I also want you to know that it's not about time slots or ratings, as you know, it's about people. And if people care enough about something they are kept from experiencing, the natural response is for that information to become available through these forms of alternative media, by which I mean the internet. It just needs a leader, and you are the man!! Good work brother!

Re: Chat about Jamie's Food Revolution and connect with others
i am also 12 and live in the UK. the education in schools in the UK and all over the world needs to change. no wonder kids are getting diabietes, dieing before their parents and relying on council benifits to provide for them. our civilistation is a mess! we need to be learning about money managment, how to cook realy food on a budget, and basic life skills that have been lost in this confussion. I live in a wealthy town, those who do not do sport clubs are the odd ones out and as a family we cook together, eat as a family twice a day and only eat organic homegrown food. however i appreciate this is not the case for all, i have seen what it is to have money and not fully understand nor appreciate it, and what it is like to stop caring due to a low income. but it doesn't matter how much money you have, good food should be shared between us all, if we all help each other out by doing our bit we will not just get the financial benifits, but also benifits from feeling good from doing something good. we go to school for a reason, we are there to learn what we need to live our lives to the maximum, this is not being done, we are practical beings and naturally would be hunting and doing phyisical activities all day long, so sitting at a desk all day is not the way to live. ever since i was little i have only ever wanted to do two things, be a boss, and help people. i was the strange 4 year old who when asked in nursery said i didn't want to be a princess, i wanted to own my own hospital to change peoples lives while working for myself. but i realized this was silly as i hate blood. so when i started getting involved with my mums nutrition and fitness business i realized that the health and wellbeing of humans is what i really want to do when i am older. i wnat to change the worlds health, i get that this is anbitions, but hay somebodies got to do it

Re: Chat about Jamie's Food Revolution and connect with others
My name is Kyle. I'm from Vancouver, Canada.
I am opening the first and only bowling alley in Kigali, Rwanda.
It isn't just a bowling alley, it is a public swimming pool with a sand volleyball court, a hot yoga studio, hair salon, restaurant and youth hostile. My problem is that the food in Rwanda is terrible, it is next to impossible to find a good cook that can put out consistent food.
We are getting busy already and the bowling alley and hostile isn't even complete until the middle of Sept.
I would love to have a chef take over and run the restaurant for me. Almost all of the restaurants in the country serve awful food and take a long time in doing so. There isn't a good quality restaurant serving health food anywhere in Rwanda. In short I have read about Jamie's school and I thought if any of the students wanted to run their own kitchen and be able to keep a majority of the profits, I have the right place.
It will be a great challenge and they would be starting with very basic kitchen tools.
The chef would have to know French, to communicate with most of the employees and source for the best ingredients. If anyone fits or knows someone that might fit pls. email me at kylephubbard at hotmail

Re: Chat about Jamie's Food Revolution and connect with others
I am a Mental Health Counselor at a small school within the LAUSD. I have been having a love/hate relationship with the recent changes since The Food Revolution.
I have written a sort of expose` article about how most of the fresh veg & fruit is going to waste b/c of pre-packaging and lack of preparation. My profile with links to my articles is on Yahoo Contributor Network (carynbickel). Please help me with any ideas of how to move forward! Thanks!
In Health & Wellness,

Many have said it already; WOW, these rides are the most impressive and inspiring builds! Proud to be part of such a great group of ladies & gentlemen. Wish I had 10 times the available votes to cast; making a choice of only three is going to be agonizing at best. Godspeed to all.
