Hiya, I'm Gaya! Born in Tamil Nadu, raised in Melbourne and a proud Indian&Australian. My dream is to become a teacher, because I live for that 'Eureka' moment. I don't do "spare time" anymore, but if I had any it would be spent devouring books and watching YouTube videos. Though, the last time I did the latter, I ended up a K-pop fan…
Formerly a language arts teacher, I now spend my days pushing pencils in front of a desk. I enjoy working with writers and helping them meet their potential. If you enjoy writing in the least bit and would like to combine it with your passion for Korean entertainment, please don't hesitate to reach out and send us a writing sample. I'll be happy to read it during my lunch break!
A graduate student with never enough time on my hands, I still somehow manage to squeeze in K-pop fangirling, mostly over VIXX's Leo. Outside of K-pop, I enjoy sports, reading and learning any new languages that come my way. My weaknesses include baby animals, free food and good company.
I became a K-pop fan back in 2007, incidentally the same year I started writing in earnest. An unrepentant Starlight, I spend my days writing somewhat too complex projects, some of which are VIXX fanfiction, and consider some of my finest Seoulbeats work to include that Chad Future featuring Ravi review (please, never again). When I'm not fangirling or raging at some K-pop incident, I can usually be found watching or reading the news. An International Politics graduate who minored in Peace Studies, I can usually be found raging on a myriad of political issues at one moment, then fangirling about whatever song is on my mind the next. In case of emergency, show a gif of Ravi falling on his butt and Leo laughing at him.
My name is Willis. I currently reside in the US. I consider myself a 'forever student' and hope to be back in an academic environment soon. My passion for K-entertainment extends from my love of music and an interest in examining the images and culture that are created and discussed in K-media. Music videos and lyrics that are open to several different interpretations are right up my alley. Outside of K-pop, I love to stay active with hiking, finding new places and cuisines to eat, and watching comedy-driven shows. Despite a gravitation towards the outdoors, I am also very introverted.
I've been into K-pop for a while, but I like to tell myself it's just a casual hobby. I currently live and work in South Korea and have love affairs going with breakfast foods, Murakami, and SM Entertainment. My amusement with K-pop stems from my academic interests in South Korean and East Asian media, specifically internet culture. The only times I'm not half asleep are when I'm spazzing over Chanyeol's arm muscles or Key's airport fashion. Above all, my main passion is writing, which is how I ended up here at Seoulbeats. When I'm not typing away (or procrastinating on Twitter) I like to travel, nap, and play pool.
Although my relationship with East Asian pop music is long-standing, I didn't start out listening to K-pop. For years, I was obsessed with J-rock and J-pop, but all it took was one Shinee music video for me to switch alliances. That was 2010, and I've been happily pouring my time into K-pop ever since.
Not satisfied to simply be on the sidelines, I began freelance writing for Seoulbeats in 2012 — be it reviews, culture pieces, or humor articles — and I also work on the site's social media outlets, keeping fans up to date about breaking news. By combining my experience in cross-cultural studies with a healthy dose of humor — and a rabid fangirl appetite for boy bands — I have managed to find a place within the K-pop fandom to call my own.
I experienced my first heartbreak at the age of 18, when DBSK split up. Since then I've vowed never to put all of my fangirl heart in one basket, until BTS nae nae-ed their way into my life and that plan went up in flames (you know you're past the fandom point of no return when a CF is enough to dissolve you into a puddle).
As a writer, I try my best to write clearly and bring in different perspectives from my academic background in literature when relevant. As a person, I can often be found cooing at my stuffed toys, unimpressed cats on Instagram, and the excellent use of film techniques in K-pop MVs.
A Hawaii girl living a Misaeng kind-of-life. A love for Family Outing made me K-variety obsessed along with being a fan of anything Yoo Jae-suk, Lee Hyori and Big Bang. Definitely YG biased, but still loves all kinds of K-pop. Frequent watcher of K-dramas, especially rom-coms.
Outside of K-pop it's all about family, friends and good food. An avid reader of young adult fiction/fantasy and enjoys TV shows like Project Runway, Top Chef and Chopped.
I'm an ENFJ who spends my free time catching up on sleep or watching Netflix and Hulu. My personal philosophy is Apple > usually everyone else. A technology connoisseur and private pilot, I am pursuing a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and hope to one day merge my career with my favorite hobby of aviation. English is my language of choice, though I am also fluent in Spanish.
When it comes to K-Pop, I enjoy listening to VIXX, SNSD and Super Junior. Outside of Hallyu, my favorite artists include Brand New, Drake and Imagine Dragons. My contribution to Seoulbeats is fixing issues with the site so that you can read the content you want without any problem! YAY!
As a Taiwanese girl growing up in a Korean neighborhood, K-pop was part of the lingua franca I was expected to master if I wanted to have any social currency with my peers. Groups from my childhood include DBSK, Big Bang, and the Wonder Girls. The closest I have ever gotten to a K-pop idol was standing in line behind Suzy at Incheon Airport.
I first encountered K-pop with f(x)'s "Electric Shock in 2011. A year after, I fell in love with Big Bang, the Wonder Girls, and Running Man. I'm a high school student from Connecticut who loves literature, music, food, and sleep. When I'm not stressed out or sleeping my life away, I like to read YA, write, and watch YouTube and/or dramas. I've always loved analyzing K-pop, and I'm happy to join the Seoulbeats team.
I'm a left-handed Libra who enjoys Looney Tunes, the Powerpuff Girls, and anime! I grew up on Motown, Led Zeppelin, Hip-Hop, and Bjork, but one day a friend of mine asked me, "Hey, you wanna hear this group?" "This group" turned out to be DBSK. Two weeks later I found myself on a constant downward spiral into the fiery depths of K-pop and haven't looked back since. But given my interests, I'd say K-pop slotted right in–right between Bjork and the Powerpuff Girls!
I'm a film graduate of Chapman University who specializes in identifying flaws in TV and movies, which makes me terrible date material. To me, the best stories keep you engaged and spark up fun conversations. I love all genres except action and some romantic comedies. I love learning languages, even though my fluency is rough in the ones I know. If I ever travel to Korea, my first objective is to eat spicy rice cakes. I'll wing it after that.
I got into K-pop in 2012 after my friend bombarded me with Big Bang and 2NE1 videos. The first love was Big Bang's "Bad Boy," and I've been sliding down this funky spiral ever since. My musical tastes vary depending on mood, but I love songs that take me back to the sounds of the '90s. I have too many biases to count, however, there is a top five ultimate list. 2NE1 and BTS are the main bias groups as of now, but that can always change after Big Bang's comeback.
Originally hailing from sunny Singapore, I am now learning to call the lovely city of Sydney home! A music student at college by day and a K-pop fan by night, 2PM was what (or who, rather) got me into this madness some four years back. Ever since, I've grown to love Big Bang, Beast and Song Joong Ki; but if I were to identify with any fandom, it would definitely be with the ARMYs! Outside of K-pop, I enjoy reading very much and also occasionally putter around the kitchen to satisfy my sweet tooth.
I'm Elaine, a '98-er and a student currently residing in Hong Kong. Offline, I am, in a nutshell, a perfectionist, good with numbers and interested in the fields of science and psychology. Online, I'm mostly an avid K-entertainment fan. Since I discovered K-pop in 2012 (thanks to SNSD's "Gee"), I've been actively following the world of K-entertainment, and my free time is primarily divided between Korean music, variety shows, and the occasional drama. Prior to becoming a Seoulbeats writer, I was also a translator for a couple of fansites. I greatly enjoy interacting with and improving my command of various languages, and although my expression can be clumsy at times, I hope that I'll be able to offer my perspective to the K-entertainment community through my writing.
Hi, I'm Jennifer! I'm an aspiring writer and current college student. I'm an expert on memes, Game of Thrones, and K-pop!
Hello everyone! I am Karen, hailing from Singapore with an academic background in English Literature. I am also a writer of all kinds, from prose and poetry to ramblings on my instagram and blog. I enjoy drinking coffee, but I drink a lot less of it now. Korean culture remains immensely intriguing to me, with its infusion of both the modern and traditional. I am not an avid fan of Kpop or Korean dramas. K-hiphop was the reason why I was drawn to Korean entertainment and music. It remains well-loved in my heart as I continue to explore the Korean entertainment industry. My favourite artists include Giriboy and Guckkasten. Other music I listen to include a mix of English bands like The Killers and The Maine to Madarin singers like Shin.

I was pulled into this turbulent world of K-entertainment in 2013 when I stumbled onto Big Bang's 'Bad Boy'. Flash forward a couple of years, and I'm in too deep. I only stan hard for one group, but I try to listen to most groups at least once. I'm also very interested in K-hip hop, and I have a special love for Just Music artists and Zion.T. In my non-K-pop life, I'm a film school graduate and writer, and I live in wonderfully annoying New York City.
I'm Leesha. Though I'm the first to say I'm too old for fandom foolishness, I am also the first to screenshot and send news to my group chat. I've known about K-pop since '09 with Ninja Assassin, and have been actively following since 2010. Besides K-pop, I enjoying baking and reading young adult novels. Mostly I love writing and combining things I love has been pretty sweet.
I, Lo Pullum, am a 94-liner, originally from Omaha, NE. I'm currently a full-time college student, working on a history degree with a film minor. I found K-Pop through dramas, but my love didn't really take off until "Fantastic Baby" popped up in a sidebar, and the rest is history.
When I'm not spazzing over K-Pop, I have an eclectic list of geeky hobbies to partake in: comics, film and tv analysis, Arrow, history, and any intersection of the above you can imagine.
Based out of the US, I'm a writer and musician. My relationship with East Asian culture is a lifelong one, so falling in love with K-pop was bound to happen. I got into K-pop because of Super Junior's "Sorry Sorry" and never looked back. Big Bang, Super Junior and 2ne1 were my first and hold a special place in my heart.
I just started branching out into the rest of Hallyu culture and everything so far has been wonderful. I'm heavily invested in learning more about Korean culture and how it relates with the rest of the world.
When I'm not working, I usually enjoy watching MMA (can't practice anymore; injured shoulder), reading YA and comics, and baking cupcakes. Food rules everything around me.
Long time Korean music lover since 2002, and it all started with BoA and expanded to H.O.T., Se7en, Rain, g.o.d., Shinhwa, S.E.S. Fly to the Sky, and many others. I didn't break out of the shell of a closet fan who only posted on forums until about 2004, being an online radio personality for V-Radio and Soompi back in the day. Now, I'm learning Korean through self-taught methods, started a blog in May 2015, and looking to get back into the radio scene, hoping to help close the gap between Korean idols, artists and international fans.
Outside of being immersed in the Korean culture, I'm a voice over, gamer and cosplayer. I really don't know where and how I find the time to be involved in all these aspects of my life, but I make it work.
I'm just a twenty-something Texan living in Seoul, working my way slowly but surely towards Korean fluency. As a Communication Desgin BFA with a penchant for pop culture, I live to discuss media, particularly in regards to its visual aspects. Since being introduced to the world of K-pop about four years ago through a chance encounter with an f(x) video, I have come to love a plethora of groups, but I remain an eternally devoted MeU at heart. When I'm not watching dramas in the name of "language practice," I can be found working on dance covers or over-caffeinating in one of Seoul's endless cafes.

Having fallen into the black hole of K-Pop in 2009, I've survived several major boyband fallouts and consider myself stronger for it. Still, I remain a serial boyband stanner and a staunch supporter of vocal powerhouse type girl groups (when will SPICA return from the war?). Recently, I've been branching out into more K-hiphop (other than group of my heart Epik High) as well as dabbling in some K-indie on the side.
I'm also basically omnipresent on Twitter, so chances are, yes, I've seen that latest BTS bomb. Several times.
I'm Tesia (teh-see-ah), 95-liner, currently residing in LA as a Bruin (cue 8clap) and pursuing a biology degree with hopes of entering pharmacy school. Introvert by nature. I am a proud Jwalking VIP Cassie! Back in 2009, I got into the K-pop world with Big Bang's "Lollipop" MV and am never coming out. Likewise, I entered the K-drama world back in 2009 with You're Beautiful and got hooked onto dramas ever since. I am always following at least one or two; I feel empty when I'm not following any — it's that bad (…or good?). My ultimate bias is Jung Yunho, although Jay Park is really close second — I wrote a 10-page essay on him for a class #hardcoreJwalker! Other bias is G-Dragon! I am also an avid fan of K-hiphop & K-R&B. Faves: Beenzino, AOMG, DEAN, Basick and Crucial Star. I'm down with listening to anything that's good. When I'm not studying, I am always either on Twitter or Tumblr or catching a concert when any of my faves are in town!

My project gun getting a face lift!! Thanks to Chuck Rogers. I still have to get some more work done to it, But I really like the way it's coming out!!!
Getting crazy with the golf balls... I like it.
Beautiful, not sure if I would have put a fiber optic front site but I love the rest.

Looking good there Rocky! I like that flat-top.

Looking good!

Love It Rocky!
I have always been amazed at Rogers masterful work on the 1911. The ultimate in the esthetics of precision machining.
The guy is incredible at turning the 1911 into a perfectly functioning work of art. The EYECANDY Colt.
Kinda like PureKustom making them there fantastic holsters and going "above & beyond" to add beauty to form & function.
Which brings me to the obvious question....
What holster are are you going to design to house that ultra-fine Combat Commander?
Great looking firearm!
But why a fiber optic sight instead of a Trij or Mep?

KC Dog, the Kennel Club's campaign to promote responsible dog ownership and protect dog owners' rights, is keen to highlight the good practice being adopted by Olney Town Council to promote a welcoming environment for both dog and non-dog owners living in the area.
KC Dog, the Kennel Club's campaign to promote responsible dog ownership and protect dog owners' rights, is keen to highlight the good practice being adopted by Olney Town Council to promote a welcoming environment for both dog and non-dog owners living in the area.
After receiving numerous complaints about dog fouling on the local recreation ground, the council has been working alongside members of the community to encourage responsible dog walking, rather than introducing dog control orders.
A representative from Olney Town Council commented: "Dog control orders should never be necessary and are an absolute last resort. The council is taking proactive steps to make sure that people and their dogs can have maximum access to Olney's public spaces, and enjoy them responsibly. We are therefore working with contractors and members of the public to ensure that dog bins are conveniently positioned and continue to be properly monitored and emptied regularly."
As part of the initiative to promote responsible dog walking, the town will be hosting a community dog walking event from 2pm on June 20. The event has been organised by a local dog walking group – Friendly Responsible Olney Dog Owners – and has received the full support of the local council.
The walk is open to all members of the public – dog owners and non-dog owners alike – and will follow a planned route around the town. The event will offer information and advice on responsible dog walking. Free copies of KC Dog's "Walkies" dog access guide for England will also be distributed, and will be available upon request from the council after the event. Further details can be obtained by contacting Olney Town Council on 01234 711679 or email@example.com.
Kennel Club communications director Caroline Kisko said: "The Kennel Club is delighted to see Olney taking such positive action to promote and encourage responsible dog ownership, rather than resorting to the threat of dog bans, fines or prosecution.
"Research shows that problems often arise simply due to lack of information. Dog owners are not always clear about where or how they should dispose of dog mess or how to deal with behavioural problems. By providing clear advice, Olney will be helping their residents to behave responsibly and save themselves the necessity of dealing with problems later."
KC Dog is an information network, free to join, whose members benefit from news and information on dog control orders across the UK. Visit www.thekennelclub.org.uk/kcdog for further information.

I have been getting my 7.62X39 ammo from Sportsman Guide as a member of the buyers club. With specials Etc I just purchase 1000 rds of Brown Bear, Non-corrosive, 124 Gr soft point ammo delivered to my door for $176.00
I'm a new AK owner myself! Just shot my WASR 10/63 for the first time yesterday. Ran smooth with out any issue. It's a blast to shoot and I used up all the ammo I had for it. Unfortunately, I choose to save $100 and got the 10 round single stack version, knowing I could (for free and myself) hog out the magwell to accept normal mags. But for now, 10 rounds will do. I feel obsessed suddenly, picking out a new stock for it and want to upgrade the rear sight to a peep sight. Shooting it back to back with my M&P15, the AR is clearly a superior weapon, IMO, but there is something about the rawness of the AK that's just awesome.
It's like comparing a Nissan GTR (technical like the AR) to a GT500 Cobra (raw, and plain nasty like the AK). They're worlds apart in just about everything they do, yet they're both awesome, and both get the job done.
Have fun :)
It has been said the AR is a prom queen and the AK is a biker chick. Treat them both accordingly.
Good luck with your rifle.
"A first rate man with a third rate gun is far better than the other way around". The gun is a tool, you are the craftsman that makes it work. There are those who say "if I had to do it, I could" yet they never go out and train to do it. Don't let stupid be your mindset. Harryball 2013
I also go with sportsmansguide.com. I like the Wolf HP ammo in my AK. It's fairly accurate and it actually feels like it has a decent charge in there; I know it kicked harder than the Federal American Eagle I put through the AK one day.
On top of what the others have said....ammoman.com and J&G Sales. At ammoman shipping is included and he runs sales from time to time. J&G has good sales as well...just got to check shipping charges.
Congrats on your AK.
ok, update, due to credit card fail, i was not able to get my AK, tomorrow I will have cash as my Sigma is being bought from me by my boss. In the meantime i bought 140 rounds for 44 dollars, ad 2 spare mags for 30. I should be good to go now
"The value you put on the lost will be determined by the sacrifice you are willing to make to seek them until they are found."
AIM usually has the best prices and great service.
When I leave the home port:
S&W 642 Airweight, Ruger SP 101, Colt Detective Spec., CZ RAMI, Kahr PM9, Kahr CW40, S&W Model 10-7, Glock 30, 19, and 26, Browning Hi Power, CZ82, Colt Commander, Dan Wesson PM7, Ruger LCP
You can do much better on the price of ammo than .32 a round (unless it is something special). Average seems to be .20 to .25 a round but you will need a credit card to order cases online.
It's definitely good you got some...140 rounds won't last long (one outing).
As pirate mentioned AIM has great prices too. They had a real good deal on Golden Tiger not too long ago, delivered to my door for .20 a round. If you're in Indy they shouldn't be that far away from you in Middletown, OH.
Enjoy your AK when you get it.
got my new AK today, still needs cleaning but it seems like on the first round of every mag, its jamming up, solution? carry minus 1 round in each mag, i also have yet to clean it so i think when its clean and free of packing grease, it might work better, so far a boot heel to the charging handle works well for clearing jams
"The value you put on the lost will be determined by the sacrifice you are willing to make to seek them until they are found."
My WASR so far has only jammed up with snap-caps. The extractor lip on the snap caps don't accurately simulate the real rounds, the bolt and extractor slams shut on the round and the bolt jams up . It runs flawlessly with real ammo.
problem solved, it was the mag, will be sanding the feed lip down to make it easier to feed, cleaned her up and now she looks amazing, see for yourself
"The value you put on the lost will be determined by the sacrifice you are willing to make to seek them until they are found."

Speaking in Azamgarh, Shah said that SP government had allowed the town to be a haven for terrorists. "Terrorists have made Azamgarh their base and they launch attacks on other parts of the country.
You should overthrow the Akhilesh Yadav government that advocates the release of terrorists," he said.
Meanwhile, Congress slammed Shah's statements and urged the Election Commission to take notice of the incident. Congress leader Digvijay Singh on Monday demanded EC to take action against Shah for his comments.
SP leader Abu Azmi too hit back at Shah for his statements saying that allegations made by Shah were false.
However this is not the first time that Azamgarh has been linked to terrorist activities in the country.
In 2013, when serial blasts rocked Hyderabad, the Andhra Pradesh Police had said that the blast accused Asadullah Akhtar hailed from Azamgarh. According to an article by indiatoday (read here), Asadullah was involved in terrorist attacks, including the Mumbai serial blasts in 2011.

And of course the Obama administration can play these scandalous 'games' because in Washington politics there are no shot clocks or bells that bring an end to a round!
And apparently there are no referees with any real power either!
In fact Washington politics appears to be more like a professional wrestling match where the referee will be 'distracted' by something outside of the ring while one of the wrestlers hits the other one over the head with a chair or tries to gouge out his eyes!
The problem is that while wrestling is fake (or so I have been told) the antics in Washington are anything but and affect our everyday lives in a very real way.
Sports/Political Strategy
Four Corners Offense: 'The four corners offense is an offensive strategy for stalling in basketball. 4 players stand in the corners of the offensive half-court and the fifth dribbles the ball in the middle. Most of the time the point guard stays in the middle, but the middle player would periodically switch, temporarily, with one of the corner players. It was a strategy that was used in college basketball prior to the institution of the shot clock.' (Source)
Rope-a-Dope: 'The rope-a-dope is performed by a boxer assuming a protected stance (in Ali's classic pose, lying against the ropes, which allows much of the punch's energy to be absorbed by the ropes' elasticity rather than the boxer's body) while allowing his opponent to hit him, providing only enough counter-attack to avoid the referee thinking the boxer is no longer able to continue and thus ending the match via technical knockout. The plan is to cause the opponent to "punch himself out" and make mistakes which the boxer can then exploit in a counter-attack.' (Source)
In sports the two strategies described above are used by a basketball team when there is no shot clock and a boxer during a bout to stall and/or tire out the opponent in an attempt to ultimately win the fight.
They are a legitimate use of the rules of the game that may seem to run contrary to the idea of pure competition but that make a lot of sense if the sole idea is to win.
When employed in the conduct of running a nation, however, these two strategies are most often utilized to head fake the people and distract a complicit media that needs little coaxing in order to be distracted anyway, away from stories or scandals that the leadership would prefer are forgotten or ignored.
Better yet, if the political game is played the right way the politician can actually turn and manipulate the facts through a clever and repetitive use of the bully pulpit to actually score political points against the opposition. An opposition (the Republican party) whose only goal at least in the case of Obama scandals is to out the truth but that is instead stonewalled at every turn.
Obama, the master manipulator!
And so it is that the Obama administration, much to the detriment of the American people who are too ignorant to know and too disengaged to care, has brought the use of the Rope-a-Dope and Four Corners strategies in the running of the country to an art-form!
If only national security and the invasion of our privacy on a massive scale could instead be called the trial of the century pitting race against race, Kim's baby or perhaps even the new Prince of England.
It is only then the people would look up and take notice. But I digress.
Speaking once again of Obama administration diversion tactics I refer back to an article at TPC during the most recent presidential campaign in March 2012.
While my analysis of the Obama use of these techniques was correct, the credit which I gave to the media and the American people in the last sentence has proven to be dishearteningly wrong!
The article is titled 'Obama is no Ali when it comes to rope-a-doping the American people!':
President Obama, his administration, campaign and blindly loyal supporters are all using a boxing technique, the rope-a-dope, made famous by Muhammad Ali!
And due to this I am so very tired. Am I the only one who finds dealing with the left and MSM fatiguing? I remain focused, motivated and resolved to do what I can in my own small way to defeat Barack Obama come November 2012, but exhausted nonetheless.
Exhausted by this so-called strategy of the left to cajole the American people into the boxing equivalent of punching themselves out on some key issues that surround the President.
One can only imagine that they intend to pursue this technique until Americans become vulnerable to what our opponents believe will be their knockout blow in the 2012 election.
Creating this condition of mental fatigue is the strategy that has been chosen, developed and implemented by President Obama and his entourage to deflect political punches in order to tire out political opponents. And it has had some success, there is no doubt about that.
However, unlike the success of the rope-a-dope used by Muhammad Ali when he fought George Foreman in the 1974 Rumble in the Jungle (for boxing fans the classic Round 8 below), this political tactic will work for only so long. Eventually as they say, the truth will out!
Now let's take a look at a list of only some of the most recent and some might say most egregious Obama scandals, some of which involved the death of Americans. Courtesy of White House Dossier:
1. IRS targets Obama's enemies: The IRS targeted conservative and pro-Israel groups prior to the 2012 election. Questions are being raised about why this occurred, who ordered it, whether there was any White House involvement and whether there was an initial effort to hide who knew about the targeting and when.
2. Benghazi: This is actually three scandals in one:
The failure of administration to protect the Benghazi mission.
The changes made to the talking points in order to suggest the attack was motivated by an anti-Muslim video.
The refusal of the White House to say what President Obama did the night of the attack
3. Watching the AP: The Justice Department performed a massive cull of Associated Press reporters' phone records as part of a leak investigation.
4. Rosengate: The Justice Department suggested that Fox News reporter James Rosen is a criminal for reporting about classified information and subsequently monitored his phones and emails.
5. Potential Holder perjury I: Attorney General Eric Holder told Congress he had never been associated with "potential prosecution" of a journalist for perjury when in fact he signed the affidavit that termed Rosen a potential criminal.
6. The ATF "Fast and Furious" scheme: Allowed weapons from the U.S. to "walk" across the border into the hands of Mexican drug dealers. The ATF lost track of hundreds of firearms, many of which were used in crimes, including the December 2010 killing of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
7. Potential Holder Perjury II: Holder told Congress in May 2011 that he had just recently heard about the Fast and Furious gun walking scheme when there is evidence he may have known much earlier.
Quite a list but it is scary to know that this list is only a partial one. That is the scope and depth of apparent wrongdoing from this White House.
This leads to the conclusion in the form of a question. Will the American people ever get closure on any or all of these real scandals, not phony scandals, that permeate this administration?
Or will Barack Obama with a little help from the media be able to manipulate the country to believe that no scandals exist and that in fact it is the Republican Party that is to blame for distracting the country from whatever talking points the President wants to focus on.
Today that incessant rhetoric includes his love for the middle class and the benefits of Obamacarewith both of those points having no real merit.
In my humble estimation the President could care less about the middle class based both on his lack of attention to those things that could actually create jobs (i.e. Keystone Pipeline) or improve the economy and the disaster that is and will be Obamacare.
Stay focused America and by all means do not ignore the man who is hiding behind the curtain. That man is of course not the Wizard but is Barack Obama!

Don't Miss The Definitive Cup
For The Fall Harvest
It's a new day, a new era, and it's time for everyone to come together to build a bridge to the "everything is possible" Cannabis World we're all going to be living in.
I've been growing for over forty years but I've never been as excited as I am at this time about what the future holds for cannabis, our industry, and our community. After decades of failed efforts to stem the ever growing support and demand for our sacred herb, the Feds and the powers that be are finally realizing there's no turning back. With the imminent legalization of adult use cannabis in California in 2016, we're heading into uncharted territory. Everyone's quite aware that the cannabis market in California is larger than Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and several other states combined. No doubt it will only get much more so in the coming years after legalization. California will also be the recognized world leader in the production of high-grade medicinal cannabis. It already is to many folks, but the rest of the world will soon know it too! Sure, they're still beating us up all over the state, but it's their final parting shots that are being inflicted upon us. The writing's on the wall and the time is over for the old school ways of failed law enforcement tactics… Read more

Pride comes before a fall.
The tears frothed to the surface with an overflowing of hatred for those heartless words. Was she proud? Was she a person of pompous dignity, of demanding ingratitude? Was that indeed the meaning of pride? Or was pride something different, something more delicate, more refined?
Pride comes before a fall.
The paper quivered under her fingertips as if in protest at that crude proverb. Perhaps it was correct. Perhaps it was not. Perhaps it was the truth, but as the paper spoke the story, there was an undercurrent of circumstance in every tale that told of complication and confusion. Her tale was no exception to the general rule.
And as that tale breathed once again in her mind, though her eyes were blank and bleary, she felt the torrent of tears brim and flow once again.

Baddeley regains a winning feeling at Riviera
By Mark Lamport-Stokes
PACIFIC PALISADES, California (Reuters) - Three years after winning his most recent PGA Tour title at Riviera Country Club, Aaron Baddeley flourished at the same venue as he charged into contention for the Northern Trust Open on Friday.
In ideal scoring conditions under sunny skies, the Australian birdied the last four holes on the fabled layout that winds its way through the Santa Monica Canyon to card a six-under-par 65 in the second round.
Baddeley, who has not triumphed anywhere since clinching the 2011 Northern Trust Open by two shots, totaled eight birdies and two bogeys for an eight-under aggregate of 134 to sit just one stroke off the early lead.
"To birdie the last four was extra special," an elated Baddeley, who ended his round by sinking a 25-foot putt on the 18th green, told reporters.
"I'm excited, definitely excited to finish like that and just to have a chance to win here is great.
"It's coming along," he said of his overall form. "Had a couple of good saves early and just coming down the last few holes, I played nicely, so the game is starting to feel good and so is the putter."
Baddeley's 2011 victory at Riviera, where he fended off a fast start by crowd favorite Fred Couples on the last day and a mid-round charge by Vijay Singh, ended a four-year title drought on the PGA Tour.

The lack of funding for small businesses has long been recognised as a barrier to growth but a second factor – the need for connections with potential customers – can be even more stifling to innovation. In areas like the digital economy, which has applications across every sector of the economy, the need to build links with established players can make or break the fledgling companies emerging.
At first glance, the UK tech sector appears to be in rude health. Last year, a record 15,000 digital start-ups began life in London alone – and US giants such as Twitter, Facebook and Airbnb continue to choose the capital for their European headquarters.
The encouraging news for fledgling tech companies is that there does appear to be sufficient capital for angel-round funding. Traditionally this is provided by friends and family of entrepreneurs, willing to invest relatively small amounts of money, and that is often enough to get new ideas off the ground. As programme manager of IC tomorrow, one of the Technology Strategy Board's digital sector initiatives, I've overseen the award of nearly £1m to dozens of innovative small businesses, startups and pre-startups over the last year.
The awards, while useful, are relatively small – but what is more critical for the successful candidates is the chance to work with potential customers,
There are lots of mature content owners, rights holders and commercial partners who are looking for digital solutions to their industry's specific needs. But how do they build relationships with emerging businesses that may have great ideas but no exposure in the sector – whether it be fashion, sport, financial services or any other area where digital innovation is making inroads and offering a competitive edge to those early adopters?
It can be as difficult for larger organisations to find that elusive 'needle in a haystack' – the small startup with a brilliant idea that can transform their business – as it is for these very small businesses, even pre-startups, to attract the attention of larger potential customers. Without a way of bridging that 'knowledge gap' so many good ideas will remain just that: good ideas but not the brilliant products and services our economy needs to grow.
Once those connections are made, the bright ideas can be commercialised. That in turn gives the small innovators some street cred and makes them attractive to investors.
While individual investors are willing to put up £10,000 here and there on an interesting idea, their appetite for risk substantially diminishes when you multiply this figure several fold. There is a significant funding gap for those wishing to expand and in need of Series A funding.
A recent report by Deloitte emphasised this point, showing how the amount of money venture capitalists were planning to invest in London's £125bn tech sector was a mere tenth of that destined for Silicon Valley. After their initial startup phase, many growing companies face a funding gap between £500,000 and £4m – the report warned that the UK capital may fall behind rivals such as New York and Berlin.
With a third of British tech companies struggling for funding, our international reputation is being dented and only 1% of global business leaders expect the next big disruptive tech breakthrough to come from the UK.
While we are restricted by the size of our investment pool, our experience has been that the growth process can be significantly enhanced – and sped up – if tech start-ups can work hand in glove with a relevant corporate partner willing to trial these new technologies on a very real customer base. The opportunity to work with corporations like Bupa, FremantleMedia UK, Samsung, YouTube, National Museums Liverpool and Warner Music – to name but a few – can help companies take that next step
It allows prototypes to be speedily tested in the real world and underline the proof of concept – music to the ears of Series A investors. And working with a major brand adds credibility to an SME as well as offering the chance of invaluable networking.
Matt Sansam is program director of IC tomorrow, which is currently accepting pitches for their Digital Innovation Contest – Sport event (applications close on Wednesday 14 August)

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - June 16, 1991, New Braunfels, Texas Heiatol'ZeitunQ, New Braunfels, Texas Guerra stresses Hispanic role Sunday, June 16, 1991 Page 7A By ROBERT STEWART Staff Writ* The fact that names on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall represent ethnic groups from every comer of the globe reflects the true essence of America, according to Henry Guerra, WOA1 radio announcer and Texas historian. Guerra spoke Friday to the Annual Flag Day luncheon of the William Hightower Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution and the James Jack Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution at the Forke Country Store in Conservation Plaza in New Braunfels. "The history of America as we learned it has a big, fat omission," Guerra said. "The Spanish Crown sent more aid to the rcvoltionary colonies in money, guns (and other support) than anyone." "The Spanish didn't particularly care about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — but they couldn't pass up the chance to take a good whack at the British." Guerra implored the SAR and DAR to help get the correct history into our schools. "People are shocked when I state the historical fact that when the first white man explored Texas, he did not speak English — he spoke Spanish," Guerra said. He also said that Mexico will not celebrate the anniversary of Columbus discovering America. They refer to that event as "el encuentro" — the encounter, according to Guerra. Guerra started working at WOA1 radio in San Antonio in 1939. He served as an officer of the Hcmisfair '68 committee and worked as director of development at St. Mary's University, his alma mater. He has also worked for a San Antonio television station and is recognized as the first Hispanic to cover a presidential election on television. Guerid is currently the chairman of the Bexar County Historical Commission. He also is still involved in his family's funeral home business in San Antonio and can be heard on WOAI's Texas history segments. "'The men at the Alamo were truly sons of the revolution," he said. "They literally were sons and grandsons of revolutionary war heroes." He stressed how important it is to continue "opening doors of opportunity to more and more (people)." "What really defeated the South (in the Civil War) was that the North was accepting more immigrants and building an industrial base," Guerra said. "The South was stuck in an outdated obsolete system called slavery." "These days people are being killed in their own homes by their neighbors' children," he said. "We must work to restore the place of church and family in our society." Guest speaker Henry Guerra, above, addresses members of New Braunfels' chapters of the Sons of the American Revolution and Daughters of the American Revolution in a Flag Day luncheon held Friday at Conservation Plaza.

Court 379-8420 NEW BRAUNFELS 367 Landa Street 625-6966 Johnny Ray Watson Biographical Sketch Raised in Lorenzo, Texas, Johnny Ray Watson was the only surviving child of a black family living in a predominantly white, segregated community. When the civil rights wave hit Lorenzo, he became a prime player on the ncwly-intcrgrated high school basketball team. Picked to be on the Texas All-State Team, he had athletic scholarship offers from 32 different colleges. Despite the 83% white majority, he was named "Mr. Lorenzo High School" by his classmates in his senior year. He attended McMurray College in Abilene, Texas, where his skill on the basketball court distinguished him quickly. In 1971, he was All-Conference, and was the league's leading rebounder and scorer. The prospects for a pro carcer with the Seattle Super Sonics was cut short with a knee injury that ended his competitive career. His Christian faith, held since childhood, was severely tested in the following few years. A spiritual renewal resulted in Johnny Ray's commitment to serve God through his singing gift. Johnny Ray's incredible talent and winsome humility combine to touch men and women in an unusual way. His southern gospel style, delivered in the lowest bass ranges imaginable, is both artistically marvelous and spiritually moving. His musical gifts have been utilized by some of America's great ministries, including the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, the Professional Athletes Outreach, Prison Fellowship, the America for Jesus rallies, and numerous churches and smaller organizations.

I know several people who have fallen victim to scam computer support this year. If someone calls you and tells you that they work with Microsoft and your computer is infected, don't download anything they tell you to. Microsoft does not call people offering help. If you get an official looking popup that says to call a number to fix an urgent issue or remove a virus, it is most likely a scam. You should know the name of your antivirus program so you won't fall for fake virus notices popping up. If you believe you really are infected, find someone you trust to help.
Once on the phone, the scammer will tell you how to view your computer's Windows Event Log which will show lots of errors. That may look really bad, but every computer is going to have plenty of errors in the log. Most are unimportant minor issues with programs (like whenever Firefox or Internet Explorer freezes) and are not a sign of viruses. They will offer to fix your computer for some fee (often $200). If you download their program they have full control over your computer. It is a scam. If you are lucky all they will do is take your money. With full control of your computer, they could infect it with their own spyware and take your personal info and passwords for identity fraud whether you pay them or not.
Some may not even pretend to be helping you, they will just set a password on your computer and lock you out until you pay them. Depending on your setup, an experienced technician may be able to clear the password and allow you access to your computer again. Or be able to copy your files to a new hard drive.
You should also immediately change passwords for all sensitive online accounts for anyone who uses that computer, especially: email accounts, banks, credit cards, credit unions, brokerages, retirement accounts, Mint, and social media accounts like Facebook (which could be used to impersonate you to scam other relatives or friends), etc. Put a fraud alert and/or credit freeze on your credit at each of the three credit bureaus for anyone who might have had tax records or social security numbers in a file on the computer that was compromised.
Also consider two-factor authentication for any financial accounts. That can be done for email and Facebook as well. When activated, logging into that website from an unrecognized computer will require a code sent to your cell phone. While this can occasionally be annoying, you won't have to use the code all the time since most of the time you will be using the same few computers.
Once these sleazy hackers get control of your computer, most security experts agree, it is best to backup your data and reinstall Windows. That is the only way to ensure they don't still have some hidden trojan or malware on your computer to steal your personal data and all your new passwords.
If someone from your internet provider emails or calls you telling you that your computer is infected, that might actually be true. But still be very careful. I don't know if they would offer to fix it over the internet for you, but they may ask you to download a free antivirus from their site to fix the issue. If you aren't sure they are legitimate, you can always tell them you will have someone else fix it. Or call your internet company's main support number directly so you know it is them you are talking to.

Congressman writes letter to Mark Emmert on Marine's behalf
News of the Steven Rhodes situation at Middle Tennessee State has reached U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais, who's written the NCAA.
The response to Sunday's news that NCAA rules could force Middle Tennessee State walk-on and U.S. Marine Steven Rhodes to sit out a mandatory redshirt year due to his participation in military intramurals has been swift and -- unsurprisingly -- not kind to the NCAA. And now the story has attracted the attention of Rhodes' Congressman.
Scott DesJarlais (R) of Tennessee's 4th Congressional District wrote a letter to NCAA president Mark Emmert Monday, asking him and his organization to "take another look into Mr. Rhodes' situation" and grant the 24-year-old his immediate eligibility.
"Instead of celebrating and encouraging [Rhodes'] endeavor, the NCAA is using an obtuse interpretation of its own bylaws on an issue in which I believe this outcome was never intended to address," DesJarlais writes. "And while the NCAA does not necessarily owe Mr. Rhodes the opportunity to play collegiate football, his compelling story should be an inspiration and an admirable example for all of its student athletes."
Rhodes' situation was exhaustively detailed in Sunday's story from the Murfreesboro Daily News Journal, which documents how Rhodes' appearance in games pitting "air traffic controllers against the mechanics" (to quote his wife, Adrienne) ran him afoul of an obscure NCAA bylaw. An initial appeal on his behalf filed by MTSU succeeded in gaining him another year of eligibility, but did not lift the mandatory redshirt for 2012.
MTSU is preparing to file a second appeal, one that NCAA bylaws expert John Infante warns is not a slam dunk, but which MTSU president Sidney McPhee told Yahoo Sports Monday he expects to succeed -- perhaps in part because of the immense public pressure mounting against the NCAA, pressure neatly exemplified by Congressman DesJarlais's letter.
For the NCAA's part, spokesperson Stacey Osburn told Yahoo that the organization "will continue to work with the university. The process is ongoing and a final decision has not yet been made."
The complete text of the DesJarlais letter, as provided by his office to CBSSports.com:
Dear President Emmert,
I write regarding the National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA) decision to not allow a United States Marine, a hero by any measure, eligibility to play football for Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) in this upcoming season.
The NCAA, founded more than one hundred years ago, maintains in its mission statement that its goal "is to be an integral part of higher education and to focus on the development of our student-athletes." I truly believe that the NCAA has an opportunity to uphold that mission in resolving the current issue involving Mr. Steven Rhodes.
As you well know, Rhodes is a young man who felt compelled to serve his country and did so in active duty for five years. He is currently enrolled as a fulltime student at MTSU and has walked on the football team in hopes to participate this fall.
Unfortunately, due to an NCAA interpretation of bylaw 126.96.36.199.1, Rhodes has been deemed ineligible. While I think we would both agree that this particular rule and clause therein was never intended to punish or deter our nation's military personnel from having the opportunity to participate in NCAA sanctioned athletic events, that is exactly the scenario that is currently unfolding.
I respectfully ask that you take another look into Mr. Rhodes' situation and make a determination that military "recreational leagues" are not considered organized competitions that should preclude Mr. Rhodes from having immediate eligibility. After all, Mr. Rhodes has given the sacrifice of service to his country, displaying not only leadership but all of the qualities that the NCAA wants its student-athletes to emulate and represent. Mr. Rhodes is seeking to be a "walk-on" athlete, paying for his own education and working to enhance his life both academically as well as athletically.
Instead of celebrating and encouraging this endeavor, the NCAA is using an obtuse interpretation of its own bylaws on an issue in which I believe this outcome was never intended to address. And while the NCAA does not necessarily owe Mr. Rhodes the opportunity to play collegiate football, his compelling story should be an inspiration and an admirable example for all of its student athletes.
In closing, you may remember having said that the NCAA "was founded on the notion of integrating athletics into the educational experience, and we have to make sure we deliver on that 100-year-old promise . We have to remind ourselves that this is about the young men and women we asked to come to our schools for a great educational experience.
We have to collectively deliver on those promises." President Emmert, both you and the NCAA have an opportunity to not only live up to this promise, but to also show student-athletes around the United States and others that Mr. Rhodes is someone we should look up to.
I greatly appreciate your expedited consideration into this matter and please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Are we talking about toy poodle or a wolf/dog cross? That would make a big difference.
This is a discussion on Sorry to bring up the dog thing, but this is a bit different within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; There is a great article in Police and Security News this month (volum 23 Issue 4) about self-defense against a viscious dog attack. Loren Christiansen ...
There is a great article in Police and Security News this month (volum 23 Issue 4) about self-defense against a viscious dog attack. Loren Christiansen was an MP dog handler who patrolled the Florida Everglades with his German shepherd.
"...Army dogs learn to be a one-handler dog, meaning anyone else who ventures near is likely to have German shepherd trot off with a chunk of his ripped out lung. We kept our distance from our buddies' dogs.
...we trained regularly with our dogs to hone attack skills...and in today's vernacular, the dogs found a 'zone' where all the he had on his mind was killing. Though domesticated, his ancient brain is greatly agitated, and his brain commands chomp legs, chop legs now
This is a great article, I highly suggest reading it. Due respect to those who say they haven't any fear of a dog. I submit to you that you've not been attacked by a trained attacker before, and perhaps this article will safe your life someday if your do find yourself on the receiving end of a pair of those kind of jaws.
If you hestitate, you're dead. If deterring the attack won't work, I'd (regrettably) shoot the dog and would not stop pulling the trigger until it was down. If my pet pit suddenly ran at a police officer (or anyone, for that matter) and I didn't have control of the dog, I'd have to understand that a dead dog might be the consequence. My dog is a big schmooze, but doesn't LOOK like it. I'd NOT wait for his jaws around my throat to learn if he meant business.

Statistics about dogs obviously aren't what this forum is intended for, so this is the last I'll say (and include a brief apology to our host )...
"The dog that bites more people in the US than any other (as of last year) is a Cocker Spaniel." That is what everyone spews in most offices around the US. Who CARES??
A 20-year study just released by the Centers For Disease Control show that there are 4.7 million reported dog bites in the US per year at the cost of $317.2 million in 2005. Half of those injuries occur on the owner's property. According to the study of dog-bite related fatalities, here are the dogs most responsible, in descending order...
Pit Bull, Rott, German shepherd, Husky, Malamute, Doberman pinscher, Chow Chow, Great Dane, Saint Bernard
Kinda' suprised about that last one, actually...
Anyway, fun reading everyone's take, and obviously I'm a dog guy. My pooch is #1 on that list above, and I'm sorry to see him get such a bad rap. I won't get into 'sweet pooch' talk. Suffice to say he's a really nice dog. HOWEVER, he is still VERY capable of delivering massive damage with a single, lightening-fast bite. He can break bone and tear flesh because that is what he's genetically designed to do. That is why the onus is on ME to keep every other person in the world safe from MY dog. If he gets shot or otherwise hurt because I'm not in control, it is my fault. And heaven help me if he ever hurt anyone.
He's 11, and getting cranky. I don't let him around my toddler neices and nefews. If he is in the room, I'm holding the kid. Better, in the winter, I fire up the wood stove on the enclosed porch for him. In the summer, the AC is cranked out there for him with a huge dish o' water. Everything is cool and there is NO chance that my family will end up as a statistic.
Like gun ownership, dog ownership comes with great responsibility.

As was already said there are some great replys here.
I have done decoy work(2.5 yrs) for a trainer in the greater Pheonix area, so I've taken a TON of bites from German Shepherds, Rotties, Belgian Malinois and others(never a Pitt, he refused to train them).All of the dogs were trained to continue the attack even if shots are fired, we used a CZ52 as our training gun. Most of the large breeds will launch at you from a few feet away. If I were being attacked by a medium-large dog I would wait to see if they were going to go airborne or not. If airborne dogs are not really that hard to get hold of and redirect away from your face/throat area to the ground and then throw a few kicks to the ribs(had to do this with my Wolf Hybrid that I had). If it is a protection/attack trained dog you better not let go. If the owner is near by hold the dog until they can take control, if they are not around then I would have to neutralize the threat.
As for people of advanced age or with disabilities, their options are limited. If mace or OC or a cane or any other non-firearm weapon does'nt work what other choice do you have but to draw and fire!

Kimber Tactical Pro II w/EE over 2000 rnds NO MALFUNCTIONS
Thats what happened to me! The dog got loose from its owner and charged across the street, not barking but with a deep growl, teeth showing and tail down. I recognized the signals and prepared for the attack, waving my arms and shouting at the dog while slowly backing away never breaking eye contact. I knew he was going to go for me and he did. From about two paces away, he braced himself and launched at my throat. I was able to deflect the first vicious attack and knocked the dog to the side with no damage other than a torn shirt. He hit the ground, regained his feet and wheeled for another attack. My wits now about me I prepared for the onslaught by adopting the pluck needle from the bottom of the sea posture and was able to catch him with not only a solid punch to the underside but using his momentum, propelled him over my shoulder onto the asphalt of the street. The dog would not quit! He again gained his feet and attacked. I was forced to draw my trusty Kimber and unloaded a magazine into the raging beast just as he braced for his third and most probably fatal attack.
After hearing my story, the awe-struck policeman said that he had never seen a tea-cup poodle hit with seven .45 cal hollow-points. He then cited me for creating a pothole in the street and walked into the sunset
Sorry Mr. Brombach...I just couldn't resist.
OK, I laughed too.
If the dog is large enough to do damage to me, like a full-sized breed, I will make every effort to loose the first round into it before it leps the first time. If it's merely bluffing, it's very likely that the dog will be staring into a 1911 until some other resolution can be obtained.
I'll take a .45 and a large side of JHPs, please.
Very Nice, Spurs
