What I carry is mainly influenced by what I'm wearing. I always carry a .45, but not for some ridiculous caliber war reason; I just prefer shooting .45s. I've shot everything from a little .22 pistol to a S&W500, and at the end of the day, I like my .45s. If I'm wearing something that can only easily conceal my XD-S, then that's all I'll carry. If I'm able to carry my Bersa (which is a bit larger, and holds a few rounds more), I'll carry that. And sometimes, when I'm feeling real fancy, and my clothing allows for it, I'll carry both. IMO, there's no such thing as carry overkill. I can't imagine myself ever saying, "I wish I didn't have plenty of firepower".
As for the original question, it all depends. I always carry two, mostly because it's faster to go to the second gun than clear serious malfunctions in the primary, but also so I have the freedom to shed heavy clothing as the the day heats up, stashing the larger 1911 on my bike, yet remaining safe & prepared to deal with whatever problem occurs. And yes, I'm retired LEO. :)
Whatever you're comfortable with, you'll find acceptance here. If I know I'm going to have trouble, my handguns won't be primary, but rather a carbine and a good semiautomatic shotgun, and all of my friends that carry and own guns.
Be safe.
Yep, wrong. :wink:
Merry Christmas. Let's not let our petty discussions get us down. I hope everybody enjoys their holiday, and stays safe (especially while traveling).
Sometimes you wonder if you joined the right forum. This is one of those times for me. Keep crossing your t's and dotting your i's because there is always someone to criticize
Did anyone think I was referring to anything else ?

New Social Investment Model to Provide Accommodation for Homeless
Framework, a specialist charity for the homeless, and Nottingham Building Society teamed up to launching a unique new social investment model that have interest rates of a commercial loan partly offset through retail charity saving bonds.
Developed by Nottingham to support Framework, it's the first-ever project in the UK that is part of Framework's approach to raise £10 million through social investment. This could provide more than a hundred units of accommodation for homeless people throughout the East Midlands region.

Healing Properties Of Himalayan Salt In Wellness And Anti-Aging Can Be Experienced By Consumers
In modern spiritual circles, salt is said to enhance good will, elevate moods and diminish negativity. It can assist in dispelling feelings of abandonment and incite initiative and independence.
Ancient Ocean's 'Himalayan' crystal salt is more than salt, it is the energy of the primordial sea, the Earth, the Sun and stars. Once sought by Emperors, Kings and Sultans, this salt is more than mere salt, it is a trace mineral supplement, full of essential hard to find ionic minerals in colloidal form and perfectly crystallized into Halite, the inherent original structure of the salt molecule. If it's Himalayan salt and it isn't Halite, it isn't Himalayan salt.
Ancient Ocean's 'Himalayan Crystal Salt deposits come from a strata that is more than 300 million years old, from the primordial thermal ocean. This pre-Cambrian ocean had one sole living organism, the only thing alive on he planet, a halo-philic pink algae that created the first Oxygen on this planet, giving us an atmosphere under which the first multi-celled life on the planet could be born.
Over millions of years this ocean, existing at the early dawn of life, slowly evaporated, making way for the rising sea floor that eventually became the Himalayan Mountains. And so great brine deposits formed. These endless fields of virgin salt sat under the stars for millions of years absorbing cosmic energy until eventually, as they Earth grew, they were covered up and subducted deep under the Asian plate, inside the Earth. In those rare subterranean salt deposits where the tectonic pressure was just perfect, the deposits over eons of time crystallized into lenticular crystal beds that in some places are more than 490 meters (1,600 feet) across. These salt deposits are among some of the hardest to find in the world.
Other 'Himalayan' salts that have been out on the market to this present time, that claim to be the original 'Himalayan' salt, are mere substitutes for the real Halite salt which is Ancient Ocean 'Himalayan' Crystal Salt.
Until now this salt has remained elusive, with only inferior grades making it to the market. In fact, this salt has never before been offered to the modern world, until now.
In modern spiritual circles, salt is said to enhance good will, elevate moods and diminish negativity. It can assist in dispelling feelings of abandonment and incite initiative and independence. Salt can also help the user deal with unforeseen events and allows one to draw on experiences, sometimes from past lives, to deal with today's problems. Halite Salt stimulates the acupressure/
It helps to release emotional attachments to others, particularly where relationships have ended without appropriate communication or 'closure'. It is also an excellent stone for self-love. It is a stone of clarity, dispersing 'foggy thinking', confusion deception and doubt. It is a good stone to keep on one's desk. Bathing in water where Pink Halite has been dissolved in is a lovely and therapeutic experience. It is superior to sea salt cleansing. Only a small amount is required to produce full etheric cleansing.
For anyone that craves the pure primordial spark of life, they should try Ancient Ocean's Himalayan Salt products today and see all the health benefits that can be derived from it!

|Preview: Celtics at Raptors, Game 32
|01.02.11 at 10:23 am ET
After Sunday's game with Toronto, the Celtics play nine of their next 10 in Boston. It's a weird quirk in the schedule that sends them to Canada before their homestand, and it's either a chance to get things back on the track after losing three of four or a potential landmine that will continue their struggles.
The defensively-challenged Raptors may be just what the Celtics need to snap them out of their offensive malaise. Toronto has won just three times in their last 13 games and, like the Celtics, they are dealing with a number of injuries.
Power forward Reggie Evans has been out since November after breaking his foot. Andrea Bargnani has missed five of the last seven games games with a calf strain. Sonny Weems missed their last game against Houston with back spasms and Jerryd Bayless left the Rockets game after eight minutes with an ankle sprain.
The injuries have given rookie Ed Davis a chance to play meaningful minutes and he responded with 17 points and 12 rebounds in a win over the Dirk Nowitzki-less Mavericks, but the Raptors are in rough shape.
The Celtics may get Rajon Rondo back, but that is uncertain at best. Still, they have plenty of healthy talent to deal with Toronto, provided they are in the right mental shape.
[Boston at Toronto, Sunday, Jan. 2, 6 p.m. TV: CSN. Radio coverage on WEEI begins at 5;30 p.m.]
CELTICS (24-7, 7-3 last 10 games)
Offensive Rating: 107.9 (Points per 100 possessions, 11th)
Defensive Rating: 99.3 (Points allowed per 100 possessions, 1st)
Pace: 90.8 (Possessions per game, 23rd)
Likely Starters: Nate Robinson, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Glen Davis, Shaquille O'Neal
Injuries: Rajon Rondo (Ankle, questionable), Kevin Garnett (Calf, out), Delonte West (Wrist, out), Kendrick Perkins (Knee, out).
RAPTORS (11-21, 3-7 last 10 games)
Offensive Rating: 106.5 (14th)
Defensive Rating: 110.6 (27th)
Pace: 94.7 (6th)
Likely Starters: Jose Calderon, DeMar DeRozan, Linas Kleiza, Joey Dorsey, Amir Johnson
Injuries: Andrea Bargnani (Calf, questionable), Jerryd Bayless (Ankle, questionable), Sonny Weems (Back, questionable), Peja Stojakovic (Knee, out), Reggie Evans (Foot, out).
KEY MATCHUP: Ray Allen vs. DeMar DeRozan
In his second season, DeRozan has upped his scoring average from 8.6 to 13.8 points per game, which looks nice but is mostly the result of playing more minutes. Overall, DeRozan hasn't made a huge jump but he has shown flashes of brilliance such as his 23-point outburst against the Lakers and a 37-point performance against Houston in Toronto's last game.
If Bargnani can't play, DeRozan becomes the focal point of Toronto's attack. Allen has kept him in check in their two previous meetings this season holding him to just 14 points on 4-for-11 shooting.
1. Can the Celtics bounce back?
They have played some ugly basketball over the last few weeks, even before they started losing games. Better ball movement would be a nice start as the Celtics have gone from a fluid, spread-the-wealth team to a one-pass-and-shoot squad. That has been most evident in the 3-point shooting where the Celtics have made 40 percent or better of their attempts just twice since Rondo went out of the lineup.
2. How much will Jermaine O'Neal have after playing 33 minutes Friday?
Doc Rivers never intended to play O'Neal that much in just his fourth game back after missing 19 games with a knee injury, but Rivers stuck with him for 16 straight minutes to close the game. It was O'Neal's best performance of the season, and while his offense will come around in time, he showed the kind of rebounding and shot-blocking presence that the Celtics have been waiting for.
3. Will Rondo play?
Rondo tried to give it a a go against the Hornets Friday, but after warming up before the game he felt like he wasn't back to full speed yet. Rondo desperately wants to get back on the court, but after the game, he sounded resigned to the possibility that it may take him a little longer to return to the lineup.
Considering the state of the Raptors, the Celtics may not need him Sunday. Either way, Rondo won't play until he is ready and that is the correct decision, no matter how many games the Celtics have to struggle through this winter.

For the first 18 minutes of Tuesday night's game with the Indiana Pacers, the Celtics played like a team that has been away from home for a week during the holidays. They were slow to rotate, hesitant to pass to the open man and generally looked like they'd rather be anywhere but Conesco Fieldhouse.
Then Paul Pierce started hitting jumpers and the Celtics got back in the game. They started the second half in much the same way, but rallied behind Marquis Daniels who took control after Nate Robinson banged heads with Mike Dunleavy and had to go back to the locker room.
The Celtics emerged with a 95-83 win in a game where they played well for maybe two quarters. Here's how they did it:
Marquis Daniels had a very Marquis Daniels-like game: The notion that a player's contributions don't show up in the box score is more often than not, ridiculous. Almost every thing an NBA player does in a game is recorded, tracked and committed to the stat sheet, so if a player has no stats it's not usually because what he does is so sublime, it's because he didn't actually do anything.
Daniels is one of those rare players who can have a positive impact without accumulating stats. He handled the ball when it was necessary, but not so much that he would racked up a bunch of assists. He scored, but never forced. He found mismatches and exploited them. In short, Daniels did all the things the Celtics need him to do, and his stats were solid: 12 points, five rebounds, four assists and only two turnovers.
Paul Pierce arrived just in time: Pierce picked up two fouls in the first four minutes of the game, which sent him to the bench and took the rest of the Celtics offense with him. Without Pierce in the game, the Celtics 40 percent in the first quarter and trailed 26-19. By the time he heated up in the second quarter, the Celtics were down by 10 points, but he shot them back in the game.
Ray Allen did the rest: As Pierce tailed off in the second half, Ray Allen picked up the slack, scoring 12 of his 17 points in the final two quarters. The Celtics once again had great balance with four players in double figures and five players posting 10 or more shots.
Rajon Rondo didn't play: The new timeline for Rondo's return to the court is now Friday when the Celtics return home to play the Hornets on New Years Eve. (Coincidentally or not, that's also just in time for a matchup with Chris Paul). The Celtics aren't going to rush Rondo back, but his return can't come soon enough.
Their offense, which once featured so much flow and ball movement, has devolved into a one-pass and shoot stagnant system. The Celtics are talented enough to get by like this for a while, but they are becoming very predictable and predictably easy to stop.
Foul trouble for Shaq again: Shaquille O'Neal didn't get into foul trouble early this time, but he made up for lost time with a flurry of violations that had him setting on the bench with five fouls less than six minutes into the second half. Shaq was fined $35,000 for his comments after the Magic game, and like it or not, he's becoming a target of the refs for his hard fouls.He lasted 16 minutes before fouling out for the second straight game.
Free throw shooting: The Celtics shot 15-for-22 and for a change, they can't blame Shaq (or Rondo) for that sub-par number. Shaq made five of his six shots, which left the rest of the team 10-for-16 and that's not good enough.
|Fast Break: The end of the streak
|12.25.10 at 5:29 pm ET
The end of the Celtics 14-game winning streak came inauspiciously. For 45 minutes, they had controlled their matchup with the Orlando Magic, and then in the final three minutes and 20 seconds, everything fell apart in an 86-78 loss. The Celtics were outscored 15-1 over that span as the absence of Rajon Rondo finally caught up to them.
Nate Robinson shot 2-for-15, Ray Allen shot 3-for-13, and Paul Pierce once again had to direct the offense instead of working into the flow. The Celtics have felt for weeks that they weren't playing their best basketball, but still they found ways to win. It was only a matter of time until that run ended, but it was still something of a shock that it fell apart so quickly in game they seemingly had in their back pocket.
The limits of Nate Robinson as a point guard: It's been said again and again that Robinson is not a true point guard, and he's not. The Celtics have tried to figure out a way to play with Robinson in place of Rondo that allows him to be him, and also allows them to continue to function as a pass-first, unselfish unit.
But in order for that to work, Robinson has to make shots. The Magic laid off Robinson and let him fire away from the perimeter. He was 0-for-5 in the first half and 1-for-10 before he knocked down a wide-open 3-pointer. When Robinson did go to the bench, the Celtics went with Avery Bradley, which was more about defense than running the team.
The Celtics not only don't have a point guard right now, they don't have a backup either. That is took this long to catch up to them is a testament to all the other things they've done well, but it was only a matter of time.
J.J. Redick is Ray Allen's Kyrptonite: Once again Allen had a dreadful time shooting the ball against Orlando, and once again Redick was with him every step of the way. It's been like this since the 2009 playoffs and it's well past time to give the former Duke sharpshooter his due. He's become much more than just a jumpshooter, unfortunately for Allen.
Jermaine O'Neal will need some time: O'Neal's return came at the perfect time with Semih Erden feeling ill, but it was clear watching him play that he's going to need a few games (at least) to get his conditioning back. There's no sugar-coating this: Jermaine O'Neal has been a huge disappointment so far this season.
However, there is ample time for him to save his career and salvage his reputation in Boston. If the Celtics are going to do what they want to do this season, they will need him and in order to get there he's just going to have to burn minutes.
Even without Kendrick Perkins, the Celtics still had the right gameplan for Dwight Howard: Without Perk, the Celtics went on the offense to defend Howard. They did this by pounding the ball in to Shaquille O'Neal early in the game in the hopes of getting Howard in foul trouble. It worked as Howard picked up his second late in the first quarter and was in foul trouble again early in the third quarter.
Howard continued to be his own worst enemy, getting called for a 10-second violation on a free throw attempt and compounding that by getting a technical foul. He didn't score his first basket until a minute into the fourth quarter. The Magic's trades were all about helping Howard, but if he is going to ascend to true MVP-level, he still has to learn to help himself against teams like the Celtics.
Defense, defense, defense: The Magic shot less than 40 percent and Howard never got going. This loss was all about the offense. The defense was once again, dominant.
Paul Pierce as point forward: For one half anyway, Pierce was the best point guard on the floor, scoring 16 points and dishing out four assists as the Celtics took control. The Celtics are asking a lot from Pierce, and this time they may have asked too much because he wasn't able to build on his first-half performance.
|Preview: Celtics at Orlando, Game 28
|12.24.10 at 5:33 pm ET
For the last three years, the Celtics have kept one eye the Magic and the other on the Lakers. Truth be told, the Celtics always saw Orlando as their prime challenger in the Eastern Conference and that bore out in two rugged playoff series.
The 2009 Celtics took the Magic to seven games without Kevin Garnett. They were undone ultimately by Garnett's injury, but also by a lack of size up front behind Kendrick Perkins. So, they went out and signed Rasheed Wallace. Say what you want about Sheed's time in Boston, but he was a difference-maker last year against Orlando when the Celtics won in six games.
For their part, the Magic cut ties with Hedo Turkoglu and brought in Vince Carter to replace him. Carter was supposed to be able to create offense from the wing, especially against a team like the Celtics who were able to play Dwight Howard straight up, effectively negating their double-team kickout for open 3-pointers.
Unfortunately for the Magic, it didn't work as planned and with the Celtics gathering strength and the Heat on the rise, Orlando general manager Otis Smith elected for the big shake-up, trading Carter, Marcin Gortat, Mickael Pietrus, Rashard Lewis, a draft pick and cash in exchange for Jason Richardson, Gilbert Arenas, Earl Clark and Turkoglu.
The moves leave the Magic with an upgrade at the 2-guard spot (Richardson is simply much better than Carter at this stage of their careers) and woefully thin up front behind Howard. They also brought in two high-stakes gambles in Turkoglu and Arenas, who will either recapture part of their glory days or definitively prove that they are past their primes.
The results so far have been mixed. The Magic dropped games to Atlanta and Dallas, but they recovered in a big way Thursday with a blowout win over the Spurs. "We certainly have a great deal of respect for the old Orlando team," Danny Ainge told The Big Show on Thursday. "I don't know what's going to happen with this new Orlando team. On paper they're still a great basketball team. I just don't know what to expect."

|Preview: Philadelphia at Boston, Game 27
|12.22.10 at 10:35 am ET
Up until Tuesday night, the Philadelphia 76ers were cruising right along with a nice little winning run at their backs. They had gone 8-3 in their last 11 games and taken four of the last five. Then, the Bulls happened. The Sixers lost by an astounding 45 points and allowed the Bulls to shoot 65 percent.
In Kate Fagan's piece in the Inquirer, Andre Iguodala said it was a wake-up call, while coach Doug Collins called it one of those nights. Both of them have a point.
The truth is, the Sixers are not a bad basketball team. They might even wind up being quite good by the end of the season. For now, they have rebounded from a terrible start to become merely decent, which in the top-heavy Eastern Conference is good enough to be in the hunt for a playoff spot.
This has been quite a turnaround since starting the season by winning three of their first 16 games. It's not hard to see Collins' imprint all over this team. The key has been defense where the Sixers rank fifth (down from second after Tuesday's debacle) in effective field goal percentage defense, a stat which accounts for the difference between two and 3-point shots.
The Sixers are not a very good offensive team, but they don't turn the ball over and there is evidence that they are playing smarter: Thaddeus Young has almost completely cut out his penchant for taking (and missing) 3-pointers, for example.
In addition, Collins seems to have defined roles for his collection of young talent. He turned the team over to second-year point guard Jrue Holiday, who is learning on the job but showing good signs of development, and moved Lou Williams to the bench, where he can create offense for the second unit and provide a nice reserve combination along with Young.
Collins also took No. 2 overall pick Evan Turner out of the starting lineup, where he was horribly overmatched, and replaced him with Jodie Meeks, a 3-point shooter. The Sixers responded by going 6-2 and Meeks immediately went on a tremendous hot streak making, making 15-of-23 from beyond the arc, but he has since cooled hitting just four of his last 25 attempts.
But by far the biggest change for the Sixers has come from Elton Brand. He may never justify the ridiculous five-year, $80 million contract Ed Stefanski gave him after missing almost an entire season because of an Achilles injury — oddly enough, Brand proceeded to miss 53 games in the first of his new deal — but he has played well this season, averaging better than 15 points and eight rebounds a game.
That's a far cry from Brand's salad days with the Clippers where he put up almost 25 points and 10 rebounds in 2006, but five years ago Kevin Garnett was still in Minnesota and Ray Allen was still a Sonic. There were still Sonics, period. Times change.
The Sixers are still in the discovery stage. To Iguodala's point, they managed to beat a handful of decent, but not great, teams during their streak in Portland, New Orleans and the trade-depleted Orlando Magic. Their losses came by eight points against the Lakers, one point against the Celtics and five at Atlanta, so they were playing competitively against the better teams. But mainly they've fattened up on so-so competition.
Still, Collins said when he took the job that his goal was to get the Sixers heading in the right direction and he is off to a solid start. Read the rest of this entry »
|Fast Break: Lucky 13 for Celtics
|12.19.10 at 3:28 pm ET
After beating the Pacers 99-88 Sunday afternoon at TD Garden, the Celtics have now won 13 straight games. They didn't play particularly well or efficient and it wasn't aesthetically pleasing, but in order to keep that streak going, they're going to have to do the kinds of things they did Sunday.
Yes, they gave up way too many offensive rebounds and the bench is woefully thin behind Glen Davis and Marquis Daniels, but the Celtics have figured out a formula for winning regular season games. Get a lead with the starters and then turn it on defensively in the fourth quarter.
Three different players scored 18 points, including Davis off the bench and Ray Allen added 17. They were balanced and they made the plays when they had to make them.
Paul Pierce gave the game what it needed: That's the phrase the Celtics captain likes to use to describe his contributions and in recording a triple-double he pretty much gave the Celtics everything they needed. Pierce didn't do much scoring (18 points on just eight shots), but he was a distributor (12 assists) and helped Kevin Garnett work the glass with 10 rebounds.
Pierce is playing some of the most responsible basketball of his career. That shouldn't be viewed as faint praise. Garnett and Rondo have secured the headlines, and rightfully so, but Pierce remains the Celtics on-court leader.
Shaquille O'Neal returned: Foul trouble limited Shaq's time on the court, but after finishing Thursday's game with just nine players, the Celtics welcomed the return of any player, let alone the big fella. Shaq wasted little time making his presence felt with 11 points in five minutes including an obscene posterization of Jeff Foster on an alley-oop.
Shaq played 22 minutes, which is right in line with the amount he had been playing and the Celtics needed it as Semih Erden was limited with a groin injury.
Nate Robinson had a Nate Robinson game: With Rajon Rondo out for the foreseeable future, it falls on Robinson to handle major minutes at the point. Robinson is not going to be Rondo. Not now, not ever. They are completely different players with different skill sets, but the one thing Robinson can do is provide instant offense and he was able to score 18 points.
Robinson also provided athletic, hustling plays all over the court and for that the Celtics will indulge him the occasional pull-up 3-pointer on the break.
Defensive rebounding: The Pacers shredded the Celtics on the boards in the first quarter, racking up six offensive rebounds. The Celtics were able to tighten up in the second, but the Pacers got up 50 shots in the first half, which allowed them to stay in the game despite shooting just 40 percent.
The problems returned in the third quarter. As is usually the case, the Celtics problems on the glass started before the shot attempt …
Dribble penetration: This is where the Celtics really miss Rondo, or at least the healthy version of Rondo. Darren Collison and T.J. Ford were both able to breakdown the Celtics defense, which not only allowed the to combine for 31 points and 24 shot attempts, but also caused the Celtics help defense to leave rebounding gaps on the boards.
The bench is thin: Davis and Daniels have been fantastic. Erden has given the Celtics a boost. But right now, with all the injuries, the Celtics need to get something out of either Avery Bradley or Von Wafer. It hasn't happened yet.
|Preview: Celtics at Knicks
|12.15.10 at 9:28 am ET
Just so we're clear: This is not a rivalry, but it is a big game. The Celtics have won 10 straight games and are back atop the Eastern Conference. The Knicks have won eight straight and 13 of their last 14 and are looking like the best New york team in a decade.
While the Celtics downplayed the significance Tuesday at practice, the Knicks Raymond Felton was more outspoken. The truth is, this is a huge game for the Knicks. This is the game that will either validate their early-season success or take them back to reality. They know that and so do the Celtics, which should make for one heck of a show at the world's most famous arena.
"Whenever the Knicks are playing well and there's energy in the building it's good for everybody," Doc Rivers said. "I loved it as an opponent. I loved it when I was playing there. It's the only building alive still, as far as the old buildings. It has that energy."
What makes this matchup so compelling is that the Knicks and Celtics are practically diametrically opposed in terms of philosophy. The Celtics preach defense, while the Knicks try to win with offense. Boston takes the fewest 3-pointers in the league and New York takes the most. The Celtics move and execute you to death in the halfcourt, while the Knicks try to spread the floor and let their controlled version of chaos reign.
No, this isn't the Lakers. It's not the Magic and it's not the Heat. But it's New York, Madison Square Garden and the two hottest teams in the league. Throw in the New York-Boston element, make it about an up and coming challenger against an undisputed regional champion and it makes for a uniquely unexpected winter treat on the NBA calendar.

Tutorials Series: Carving Play Food. Part 1: Carving knives I use/
One of the things I love about woodcarving is you only need a sharp knife and a twig and you are set to begin a new project. I am usually a bargain-shopper, but I have delighted in having excellent knives to learn to carve with. It's a good thing to invest in. Hopefully you already have a good sharp knife, but if not, hopefully you'll feel more prepared to choose your carving knife after reading about the ones I work with.
The knife on the top is handmade by Del Stubbs It's his "Regular Sloyd." I was drawn to carving via spoon carving, and my husband gave me Del's spoon carving kit for my birthday last year. The Regular Sloyd was a part of that kit and it is my main carving knife. It's a beautiful and functional tool.
The 2 1/4" blade is perfect for spoons but it's also good for other greenwood carving. It is strong and easy to keep sharp with a strop (more on sharpening in another post). I lead a carving club for kids at our homeschool cooperative and the kids wait patiently for a turn to use it. They call it the "butter knife" because of how easily it carves.
On Robin Wood's recommondation, I bought Brusletto Balder knives for my son and nephew for Christmas. We used them for the carving club too. They are great little knives and come with a leather sheath. The blade is much shorter than my knife and the handle smaller, so if you have large hands, it might not be the best choice.
If you are not sure what kind of knife you'd like, I highly recommend Ragnar at Ragweed Forge as a resource for carving knife shopping, he has many excellent knives to choose from and provides superior service.
I also wanted to mention that my son and nephew also use Swiss Army style knives often. Author of one of our favorite carving books, The Little Book of Whittling, Chris Lubkemann carves with them exclusively, and they are easy to find locally. I prefer a fixed-blade knife though, it seems sturdier and safer to me.
So if you would like to follow along with us as we begin carving next week, choose a knife if you don't have one already. If you already have a knife, what kind is it and what do you like about it? Next week we'll get rolling with the carving, starting with a simple little green onion!

Old Friends, New GoalsMature
The inside of the Guild was far worse than the outside had led him to believe, and that was saying a great deal. Had he not gotten used to the Guild being destroyed, this might have angered him more than he was. After all, Juxon managed the feat several times when they were younger. Granted, Art was a young man and Juxon an adult, but the memories of the earthquakes and old guildmaster's anger at having to rebuild the place once more.
This time, though...
Art could SEE the magic around, lingering like puss in a wound, and that... Well, Art couldn't see magic like anyone else unless it was in massive quantities. Just the fact he could vaguely see the stuff meant the battle here had been fierce. Luckily, he saw no bodies. But... there were pools of blood that he knew would cause death. Though he knew it was likely to be a foolish fancy, he hoped they were of the enemy.
What HAD happened? From the traces of magic, he gathered most, if not all, of the participants in this battle were wizards or at least magically inclined. Maybe a civil dispute? No, Juxon would have stepped in. A dark guild? Most likely... They had been active lately. His business had suffered from their thefts. Magic enhancers weren't cheap to produce.
Another look around showed walls blown to bit from either water of ice that was now melted, floors ripped apart with burns and cuts... The list went on, of course. The hallway even looked like a literal hurricane went through it! Gah! What was Juxon doing?
Art started to move towards the stairs and head to his old fool of a mentor's room, but the feeling of being watched stopped him. He was not gifted with magic, but he trusted his gut when it came to sensing danger. Right now, that's what he was in.
"Are you with Nightwing?" a familiar voice asked.
Art smiled and relaxed. Thirteen years he hadn't heard that man's voice. This was the last place he expected... wait, that wasn't right. This was the FIRST place he expected to see his old friend again. Just, not like this.
"I don't know any Nightwing," Art said honestly, wondering if it was the name of the enemy who attacked, if someone had. "Though, I should throw my spear at whoever speaks to me like they are my superior."
Turning, Art saw a grinning Grimlock perched on the second floor of the guild, only visible through the hole in the ceiling. Before his old friend could respond, however, a new face came into view. The boy, probably a fledgling member of Supernova, was a pale faced boy with a set of dark eyes. Nearly dead, honestly.
Of course, the only reason he saw the boy was because the fledgling had lunged toward him, faint traces of dark magic built in his fists and legs. Dangerous and powerful magic, since Art could see it.
"No!" Grimlock yelled, though it was useless to do so. This Fallen was not listening.
Art smiled and moved to the side of the boy's punch, tripped him with his offhand diamond spear, then used his other spear to place a point at Fallen's throat. "Is that any way to treat an ally?" Art asked the boy, showing off his guild mark, which barely moved. It proved his handicap, but... Oh well. This boy was... interesting.
Grimlock joined them down on the floor. Luckily, his presence and the guild mark Art had cause Fallen to calm down and allow Grimlock to help him up. But, with the boy's magic, he probably would have overpowered Art in a fair fight eventually. Very interesting... Art was almost giddy with the hope of a good challenge.
"Art is a retired guild member, Angel," Grimlock explained. "He's actually an elite, despite his appearance."
"Gah, you have no style," Artonus retorted, looking at his old friends armor and two swords. "This jacket costs more than your armor!"
"Oh? And that bandanna?"
Art groaned. "That's to... prevent sunburn."
Grimlock blinked. "Wait... you went bald!?" The large man laughed loudly, even bending over like the fool he was. Bald was in! "Well, I'm just glad you're still alive, Artonus."
Art smiled and took his friend's outstretched hand. "I'm glad you're still alive as well." He looked around again. "I wish I could have arrived at a better time, though."
"We should probably leave before the dragon notices us, though." Grimlock looked toward the front door. "Or did you somehow kill it?"
"I put a claymore in it's back. Think that's enough?"
Grimlock shook his head. "No, you have to sever his head. You do that alone, though?"
"No, there was some kid helping me. Lively young man."
Fallen, the boy, spoke up. "He seems to have left a little while ago."
Art shrugged. "Oh well."
"Sir?" Fallen said, looking directly at Artonus.
"I don't mean to be rude, but... How are you an Elite with so little magic?"
It wasn't an odd question. Artonus had heard it repeated several times in the years before his retirement. But... seeing this kid ask it, with so much magic of his own, made that little hint of jealousy Art once had attempt to bubble up. He suppressed the foolish emotion, of course, but...
"Artonus is called 'Cleaver' by the guild," Grimlock told Fallen. "He was never gifted with a lot of magic, so he worked on his weapon skills more than anything. In fact, he's among the few I would count as my equal in swordplay."
Art held his spears together and changed them both into twin longswords. "I also have a knack for transmogrification."
Fallen nodded in understanding, but said nothing more. Would it kill the boy to smile?
Grimlock looked toward the door. "Seems we need to leave. Dragons waking up and I'm not risking Gates on that thing until I know everything about it." He reached his hand out and probably was gathering magic for teleportation or something. "I'll fill you in once we're back at camp."
"Alright, but I want to talk to Juxon first and foremost."
Both Grimlock and Fallen let their eyes fall. "He's... dead, Artonus."
"Once we're there," Art said coldly, no longer caring about his interests, "Tell me everything."

1st September
1st September, Hogwarts Express, midday.
I'm in the ONLY empty carridge. Well, there is this girl who fell asleep as soon s the sat down! Hehe
The sweet trolly just came, i got loads of sweets, I put them in my shoulder bag, eating only a few, because I wanna save some for when I get there!
The girl woke up, she's called Isobel Mallroey, she's a muggle born. But she's super cool! She loves my little To-To to bits! She says if were in the same house we can have beds next to eachother!
"I love your cat! Here's MY pet...."She exclaimed, pulling out a little teeny-weeny cage, with a fluffy, baby, white barn owl from her shoulder bag. She smiled when he squeaked. "She's called Bebe!"
"Awww! she's adorable!"I gasped. And after that, we sort of....Clicked. It's like we've known eachother since FOREVER! hehe!
Bebe and To-To are bff's...Even thought he's a cat she Bebe's a owl....Odd!
I hope were in the same house! My family have been in HufflePuff for years on end! She says she wants to go in that house too. I think it's because she wants to stay friends with me. I can't wait!!!
Were going to exchange things about the differences between the wizard and muggle worlds.....
More later!

Second Coming (Chapter 1: Lucky Day)
Jonathan never really did sleep well, insomnia was something that infected his mind and after the arguement when the nights started to get coolder and his hair got wetter his sleeping problems became worse. a few weeks ago he had, had an arguement with his girlfriend and with no family to run to he was left on the streets. jonathan was an orphan as a child, he had learned to be independent and to survive on his own. he also wasn't very intelligent because of lack of education and had no source of income. the little money he had made was through begging in the town centre he as born. despite his lack of education, jonathan was kept going by his passion for religion, he went to church as a boy and was fasinated by the stories from the bible.
he woke up from another cold wet night, only today was a good day, he finally had the chance to forget his greif. he had managed to check his emails from one of the shelters, most of it was spam, however tehre was one which cought his eye, an email from an old freind, who grew up with him in his orphanage. he was about to move house and had asked jonathan to help him move. 'house' thought jonathan whilst reading the email 'theres a word i ahvent heard in a while'. his freind offered him £60 and to stay the night. the money meant nothing to him, however he couldn't possibly turn down a comfortable of nights sleep.
he had decided to use the little money he had made from begging to get the bus to his friends village. it was a little too far to walk and he didnt want to arrive late. he got to the station and found a £1 coin sitting on a seat under the bus shelter, he couldn't resist taking it, so he picked it up and placed it in his pocket. it was a bank holiday and there where little buses running to the village, but to his suprise the bus was free because of this. he sat in the second row and as he placed his bottom firmly on the comfortable seat, he said to himself 'it must be my lucky day'. people sat at least two seats away from him as if to avoid his bad smell, yet they starred at him as if he were a ghost. the bus was warm, and full of old people and he didnt mind them starring as he was used to it. the journey took an hour but suprisingly arrived at the destination on time, jonathan then got of the bus and looked over at a wrecked village.

FBI Investigating Congressman Jim Renacci's Fundraising
The New Republic just uncovered that the FBI is investigating a series of questionable campaign donations to Congressman Jim Renacci. These suspect donations from employees of the Suarez company who had never made political donations before contributing the maximum amounts to Renacci were first identified by the Toledo Blade. Suarez's CEO is a well known Republican donor in OH, and Suarez employees comprise Congressman Renacci's largest contributors.
Check the facts for yourself.
New FBI is Investigating Renacci's Political Fundraising [The New Republic]. On May 18, 2012, The New Republic reported that the FBI is investigating whether Congressman Jim Renacci benefited from an alleged scheme to circumvent campaign finance laws that ban employers from reimbursing workers for contributing to political candidates. [The New Republic, 5/18/12]
Must Read: Renacci Received Unusual Campaign Donations from an Ohio Company [The Toledo Blade]. In 2011, The Blade reported Renacci received $100,250 in campaign donations from several employees and some their spouses from Suarez Corporation in Canton. Many of the employees had never given to a political campaign before but in the current election cycle had maxed out by giving $5,000 to Renacci's campaign. Suarez and his wife also contributed $10,000 to the Renacci-Ohio Victory Fund. An analysis by a campaign finance lawyer showed that some of the employees who contributed listed their positions as "copywriter" or "marketer." The lawyer stated it was unusual for people holding those positions to make such a large contribution. The analysis also showed that half of the employees who contributed owned homes valued at $66,000 to $183,000. [Toledo Blade, 8/20/11]
Suarez Employees Are Renacci's Largest Contributors. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, employees at the Suarez Corporation are Congressman Renacci's largest contributors. [OpenSecrets.org, accessed 5/21/12]

Program success examples
Project WET developed its first activities in 1984. In 1995, Project WET published its cornerstone publication, the Project WET Curriculum and Activity Guide.
The success of this educators' guide was followed by the development of several region- and topic-specific series: Conserve Water; Discover a Watershed; Healthy Water, Healthy People; Water and Education and Wonders of Wetlands.
Project WET's Kids In Discovery series (KIDs) was launched with the publication of The Water Story in 1996. Since then, more than 60 activity booklet titles have been published, many of which also have been translated languages such as Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dagbani and Kiswahili.
In 2011, Project WET published the award-winning, National Science Teachers Association-recommended Project WET Curriculum and Activity Guide 2.0, completely revising, updating, and contemporizing the successful first edition.
The Water and Education series and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) materials were developed to serve educators and children in Africa, India, and Latin America.
Today, more than 300 activities covering a multitude of water-related topics appear in more than 80 Project WET publications.

Global Curriculum Areas
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH): Worldwide, about one in eight people do not have access to clean and safe water, and one in three people lack improved sanitation facilities. That combination means higher rates of disease and death, making education critical. Most of our WASH education materials can be downloaded for free and are available in multiple languages.
Latin American Resources: A website in English and in Spanish serves as a resource center and professional network for educators in Latin American and Caribbean countries.
Project WET Curriculum and Activity Guide 2.0, global editions: Project WET's international partners can customize and translate Project WET's flagship publication, the Project WET Curriculum and Activity Guide 2.0.
Hydration: Since about 60 percent of our body is composed of water, none of us can live for more than three to five days without water intake. Project WET's healthy hydration module—which has been translated into several languages for use around the world through our partnership with Nestlé Waters—highlight the importance of water to the body.
Water and Ethics: This "choose-your-own-adventure" style book, created in partnership with UN HABITAT, takes on the topic of water and ethics. You're in charge as you make decisions and take actions related to ethical questions about water use and stewardship.
Water and Sanitation in Cities: Where does your water come from when you live in a city? This digital activity booklet created with UN HABITAT helps kids better understand not only where their water comes from but also how it's used and how they can play an active role in stewardship.
Water and Literacy: As part of a larger USAID project to encourage literacy in the southeast African country of Malawi, Project WET created four posters to help Malawian children learn to read the Chichewa and English alphabet, find out where their water comes from and care for their books.
International Maps and Posters: Project WET maps and posters add a splash of color to any classroom, while immersing students in fascinating facts about international watersheds, the water cycle and hand washing.
