A clearly agitated Mike Shananhan gave a new spin to his remarks about the state of the Washington Redskins on Monday, insisting that he hadn't given up on the playoffs.
Shanahan admitted that he perhaps didn't give the "perfect quote" and that his words might not have been "crystal clear" when he spoke in the aftermath of Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Carolina Panthers, who entered the game with just one win on the season.
Shanahan had called the game a "must-win." It turned into the Redskins' third straight loss and dropped their record to 3-6, prompting the coach to say after the game:
"You lose a game like that, now you're playing to see who obviously is going to be on your football team for years to come. ... Obviously we're not out of it statistically, but now we find out what type of character we've got and how guys keep on fighting through the rest of the season."
Such speeches are common in the NFL, but they're usually spoken in mid-December when a team clearly is out of the running. Redskins players were perplexed that Shanahan essentially was throwing in the towel on the playoff chase with seven games remaining, including five against the NFC East.
Stung by the reaction to his words, Shanahan took to the podium Monday and read his postgame transcript out loud then made a rambling attempt to explain it.
"The remaining seven games that we have, each game is kind of like a playoff game," Shanahan said. "And what you want to do is see how your players respond. ... We will see how they play from now on for the rest of the season, and we'd better get their best shot because they'll be evaluated every game."
Around the league
Colts • Coach Chuck Pagano is winning his battle with leukemia. On Monday, Larry Cripe, Pagano's physician, said that the illness that has sidelined Indy's coach for more than a month was in "complete remission." On Sunday, Pagano watched the Colts win their third straight, 23-20, from the coaches' box and provided inspirational messages to players before and after the game.
Cowboys • Dismissing speculation that he might be interested in Sean Payton, Dallas owner Jerry Jones said he has "a lot of faith" in coach Jason Garrett and has no idea if the suspended New Orleans Saints coach might be available next season. Payton was suspended for the season by the NFL for his role in the bounty scandal.

If you're an information hound like I am, you probably receive hundreds of emails each day and have created a complex folder structure in your mailbox and lots of rules to route messages into the appropriate folder. What happens when you hit the limit (64 KB by default in Exchange 2007 and customizable up to 256 KB) for the amount of storage available for storing mailbox rules?
You have four options. First, you could try and design your rules more efficiently by grouping rules together into more complex rules, thus reducing the number of rules you need to create.
Second, you could rename your folders to make their names shorter (e.g. rename "Important Items" as "II") thus reducing the amount of storage needed for each rule.
Third, you could shorten the names you give to your rules.
Fourth, you could shorten the name and path to your PST files if your rules route mail to folders in PST files.
And finally, you could abandon the idea of using mailbox folders and rules entirely and use Outlook 2007's new Search Folders for organizing your mail instead. Search Folders let you define a "virtual folder" structure you can use to quickly browse everything in your mailbox. You can find out more about Search Folders here on Office Online.

Start-Up Incubator For Inmates Aims To Train Them For Employment
The Last Mile is an entrepreneurship program at San Quentin State Prison that provides info and practical experiences to prisoners.
The Last Mile is an incubator program at San Quentin State Prison near San Francisco. It works like a traditional program for startups, training selected inmates to build their employment skills.
Founded by Chris Redlitz and Beverly Parenti, the entrepreneurship course takes place during twice-weekly sessions over six months. Information and practical experiences are provided to increase the inmantes knowledge about the role of social media, build their communication, business and operations skills, and foster a sense of hope that they can succeed when they are released.
Participants read books by digital media experts and interact with guest speakers from technology companies. Unlike most entrepreneurs and startups, the inmates don't have ready access to technology, and some have never used a smartphone. But the program teaches them the principles of startups and at the end of the course they have a demo day to present their ideas.
Each participant must conceive a business idea and create a plan that includes a technology component and social cause, which they present as a five-minute pitch to a live audience of invited guests and fellow inmates.

:) Of Icons That Hum, Vroom And Sometimes Shatter - Poem by Bill Grace
The fine watch exchanged for flight time so long ago
Taught me the meaning of the phrase 'fly by night' when it was stolen
Even then its gold and balanced beauty of face
An icon of something more than market values.
Through an eBay miracle again it hums upon my wrist.
The theologian Jacques Ellul has written
That the watch is the primary symbol of modern man
I know enough of horology's history to understand
Long before Einstein it helped to conquer longitude
When latitude was safe.
Symbol or not it was no talisman this instrument of filling
'The unforgiving minute with sixty seconds worth of distance run.'
All of this is sad and somewhat tragic
Homer far more than Jesus
Filling the spirit of my days
Before dog and cat and couch would help me proclaim
A gospel only a few will understand.
It is my mother who saves me
Who in her full maturity lost a husband long before
And a tray full of ruined Hummels
With perfect peace of voice
That told no destruction to her soul of loss - said
'They were only things.'
My fine watch was once another Bill's
And now for a while it will be mine
It's nice to have the loan back
And although the world will kill for it
And its currency is supplanted by better tools
I know from Mom and loss a deeper truth
'It is only a thing.'
Which is the thing of peace and perhaps even of God
And far more worthy than seen things
Even as it hums upon my wrist.
The line in quotation marks in this poem comes from Rudyard Kipling's poem 'If'. I have always loved that phrase and apologize I did not put quotation marks around it from the very first time it was published on Poemhunter. BG

painting a ceiling and partially down walls
Using an off-white paint I'm painting a textured ceiling and then carrying the paint about 12 inches down all the walls. The colour of the bottom portion of the walls is a lot darker than the ceiling colour. Do I have to do a line prior to painting the ceiling/walls? or can I just overpaint into the darker portion of the wall, do a line, and then paint the lower portion of the wall with the darker colour?
Yes, to the second option. You always want an overlap with one color whenever two colors meet. Since painting is done top/down, inside/out, you paint the ceiling first, overlapping, then cut your line to the white. Good Luck with that.
Since I have experienced attempting to cover light color with a darker color, and, as a DIYer where my time isn't worth near as much as a pro, I would be inclined to paint the ceiling and a few inches down the wall. Paint the dark color and then go back with the ceiling paint to the desired level. JMHO.
Boy, I'm glad YOU understood it.:laughing:

Happy Holidays! One of the things I love about this season is how children absorb the magic of their family's holiday tradition by hearing and telling its stories.
As we course through Hanukkah, Al Hijra, Ashura, Christmas, Kwanzaa, New Year's, and Epiphany, a lot of wonderful stories are being re-lived.
Please share with us by sending links to your tradition's favorites in the "Add New Comment" area below. My contribution is this delightful 21st century rendition of the Christmas story [2]from children in Auckland, New Zealand.

In a perfect world, how much time would you take off work?
- PeachyKeen
- Last updated: 5 years ago
I'm having my TT next month and I can pretty much take off as much time as I need from work. I had another surgery last year and went back too soon. I didn't get as much rest as I needed to heal thus making my recovery last longer. I know everyone is different, but ideally, how much time would you take off work to give yourself ample time to heal?

Unlock Items Online is a feature in Club Penguin that allows penguins to obtain items by entering a code to Club Penguin's website.
This feature was added on October 24th, 2008.
Coin Codes
Players can receive Coin Codes (also known as Toy Codes) by purchasing Club Penguin merchandise such as extra Card Jitsu packs or books. The codes are printed on plastic coins, or on a card. When players log in to Club Penguin they can click the icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen that says "Unlock Items Online" and there will be a place to enter your code. These codes are one use only.
Another type of codes are book codes. They only require knowledge of the book players have bought because Club Penguin will ask them a question they will know only if they have a book themselves. Only one code can be entered per book. You always receive a Blue Book and some coins after entering your first book code, and all subsequent codes will just give you coins.
When you enter a code successfully you will either receive a book item that will be added to your Inventory along with some coins or you will be allowed to select up to two items from the Treasure Book.
The three Club Penguin video games also come with code cards in the packaging, and are one use only. The card for Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force gave you an EPF Certificate, a Spy Phone and some coins. The card for Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force: Herbert's Revenge gave you an EPF Phone, a Puffle Whistle which lets you walk Flare, and some coins. The code for Club Penguin: Game Day! gives you four different special backgrounds.

Posted by Dave Bartoletti on September 4, 2012
I had a great time, as always, at VMworld last week. My seventh time was busier than ever. If I had to summarize my gut feeling about this year, it was VMware's return to the future of the datacenter. Yes, there was plenty of cloud-ness, but the main thrust of VMware's message was: there's a lot left to virtualize, encapsulate, and mobilize in the datacenter, and we're the best company to help you do it…whether or not you're heading for the clouds. The cloud isn't everything, nor should it be. It's one of many paths to a more efficient, responsive, and available IT infrastructure. Companies aren't going from datacenters and managed services to the cloud in one monolithic transition. They're looking at everything from their virtualized workloads to their big databases to their productivity apps and asking two questions: Can I run them cheaper, faster, and better in-house first? And, when will it make more sense to run them in my or someone else's cloud? Part of that decision is cost — will cloud save money?
A bigger question, though, is: Who decides? Will application teams and app developers go to the cloud themselves, without waiting for IT? In many cases, they already are. Or will today's virtualization admins lead the way? VMware's betting on both, and it used VMworld this year to arm its core audience —VMware admins — with a strategy. My colleague Glenn O'Donnell calls VMware's core audience the Illuminati (heh), and VMworld is certainly designed for them.

Not surprisingly, various social networks appeal to different segments of the population. The latest social networking survey [pdf] from the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project provides some insights into which online adults are most drawn to 5 key platforms – Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Twitter, and Instagram – each of which has grown in penetration over the past year. The results are both intuitive (Pinterest adoption is higher among women) and intriguing (the strong appeal of Instagram and Twitter to black Americans).
[Editor's Note: For an up-to-date breakdown of the demographics of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Instagram users, see the MarketingCharts report, US Media Audience Demographics, which also examines audience demographics for numerous other media.]
Below are some highlights from the Pew study, ordered by popularity of the social network. (Note that all percentages below refer to percentages of US adult internet users, rather than percentage of Americans.)
The Pew figures serve as an update to a previous study released early last year, which looked at the demographics of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and Tumblr users.
Overall, Facebook remains the most popular platform as of the latest study, with its 71% adoption among adult internet users up from 67% in 2012. Of the 5 platforms, LinkedIn has the next-highest penetration (22%), slightly ahead of Pinterest, which has shot up 6% points to 21%. Twitter (18%) also edges Instagram (17%), although the latter has shown a much faster rate of growth (as also evidenced here). (The two platforms also have a sizable overlap in user groups.)
While Twitter has a slightly higher (although statistically insignificant) rate of adoption than Instagram, the latter has the clear edge in engagement. Almost 6 in 10 Instagram users report using the platform on a daily basis, second only to Facebook (63%) and significantly ahead of Twitter's 46%. Just 23% of Pinterest users and 13% of LinkedIn users report logging on daily.
About the Data: The results in the report are based on data from telephone interviews conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International from August 7 to September 16, 2013, among a sample of 1,801 adults, age 18 and older. Telephone interviews were conducted in English and Spanish by landline (901) and cell phone (900, including 482 without a landline phone). For results based on the total sample, one can say with 95% confidence that the error attributable to sampling is plus or minus 2.6 percentage points. For results based on Internet users (n=1,445), the margin of sampling error is plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.

Cleveland Browns Fullback Eddie Williams Announces He's A Young Adult Pastor at Washington Church
Christian Post reports:
Eddie J. Williams, Fullback of the National Football League Cleveland Browns, announced this week his calling as Young Adult Pastor of Mountain Vineyard Christian Fellowship in Covington, WA.

At least seven thousand people are expected to protest in the Cape Town CBD on Thursday, ahead of the State of the Nation Address (SONA).
This will happen outside the area cordoned off around Parliament.
The City of Cape Town says the three planned protests will be closely monitored.
They include #FeesMustFall and #ZumaMustFall. Ses'khona's protest against racism will be countered by a Democratic Alliance (DA) march.
Cape Town's Mayoral Committee member for Safety and Security JP Smith says, "SAPS are not going to permit anything later in the day that will interfere with SONA arrangements. But the city is heavily committed to those arrangements; we have 441 members
who will be on duty."
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has already warned it will insist President Jacob Zuma explains the dismissal of the former
Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene.
But other parties are committed to a dignified SONA.
The ANC Chief Whip's spokesperson Moloto Mothapo says, "Anyone suffering from attention seeking disorder will have to be met with the full might of the rules of the National Assembly and the National Council of Provinces (NCOP), and they are clear about any attempt to disrupt [parliamentary proceedings] that you'll be thrown out."
DA leader Mmusi Maimane says, "Just because we do not resort to chaos does not mean that President Jacob Zuma will get away
with an easy ride from us in the weeks ahead."
United Democratic Movement (UDM) leader Bantu Holomisa says, "If the Economic Freedom Fighters were to behave in particular way that would actually result in a reaction from the ruling party. That's the reason why we are saying, all the parties concerned,
we wish that they conduct themselves in a very peaceful and exemplary manner on the day."
The opening of Parliament is the biggest gathering on the Parliamentary calendar. Amidst speculation of what might happen, officials are meticulously adding the final touches. Preparations will intensify as SONA approaches.
The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) staff will be among hundreds of journalists updating the public.
Parliament's Acting Media Manager, Modise Kabeni says, "We've had 800 applications for accreditation this year which is higher
than we usually get. We usually get about 600 or 650 but this year we have [received] 800."

When Georgia kicks off against the Wildcats at 7 p.m. Saturday, the Bulldogs may already know who won the matchup between South Carolina and Florida, which begins at 3:30 p.m. Saturday.
Richt said he has no plans to prevent his team from finding out who wins between the No. 3 Gators and No. 9 Gamecocks.
"I don't think there's any way to keep someone from finding out what's going on in college football," said Richt. "I think everybody is going to know what happened in that game. I'm not expecting that we can keep it a secret or even that I want to keep it a secret.
He added, "Even if I tried to say I don't want to hear anything, you may get on the bus and the bus driver says something. You gotta clue everybody in because everybody loves college football, and everybody is going to be watching that game."
Richt said that regardless of the outcome between the Gators and Gamecocks, there are plenty of games left on the schedule.
"The reality is that South Carolina has three more games to play, and we've got four more games to play in league play," said Richt.
All-American Jones's status still in the air
With Jarvis Jones's status for Saturday's game against Kentucky in doubt, freshman outside linebacker Jordan Jenkins is preparing to earn his second start. "I've been thinking on it just in case [Jones doesn't play]," said Jenkins. "I'm trying to get ready. If he is out, I'm going to hurry up and get some sacks to get to his level and get passed him before he gets back."
Jenkins started against Florida Atlantic in place of Jones, who sat out with a groin injury. Jones's status for Kentucky this Saturday is in the air, as the All-American has not practiced since suffering a sprained ankle against South Carolina October 6.
Georgia head coach Mark Richt sidestepped questions Jones's status Wednesday.
"I don't really want the whole world to know what's going on, either, because somebody has to play us and decide whether they are planning for him or not planning for him," said Richt.
Richt told Atlanta radio station 680 The Fan earlier Wednesday, "If he gets the OK to play, then you play. That's just the way football is."
Grantham: OLB Washington a "team guy"
Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham had high praise for outside linebacker/defensive end Cornelius Washington this week.
"I think he's played well in the things we've asked him to do," said Grantham. "He's been a team guy. He has played end, outside linebacker and inside in our nickel stuff, too. He's shown up a little bit. Sometimes it doesn't show to the naked eye."
Washington has started five games this season, racking up 15 tackles and three tackles for loss, but the senior recorded just one solo tackle since the Missouri game and went without a tackle against Florida Atlantic and Vanderbilt.
"He's played well," said Grantham. "He doesn't always get the production plays that make the stats."
Washington has recorded eight quarterback hurries this season, which ties him for second on the team with Jenkins.
"I think last week was a good week to get him healthy. He was a little banged up. As we move forward, him getting healthy will allow him to be the kind of guy you're looking for," said Grantham. "He's given us everything he's got, and I think he's going to help us in the future with what he's doing."
Theus not worried about Pollack's "liability" comment
Prior to Georgia's matchup with South Carolina two weeks ago, former Georgia star David Pollack, who serves as a broadcaster on ESPN's College GameDay, called starting tackle John Theus a "liability" for the Bulldogs against the Gamecocks.
"Reporters say stuff," said Theus. "It is what it is. Pollack was a great player here, and he does his job and he does it well. His opinion is his opinion. It doesn't bother me at all."
Theus, a true freshman, was tasked with containing South Carolina's 6-foot-8 defensive end Devin Taylor, who finished with three tackles, a pass breakup, one quarterback hurry and a half tackle for loss in South Carolina's 35-7 victory.
"Maybe, if he watched that game, [Pollack] had a different opinion," said Theus. "There was a lot of stuff that myself and the team needed to improve on. It was a rough game overall, but I think I played decent. I still have a long way to go, but I think I played decent."
Theus said he doesn't focus on what the media says, and he learned of the comment after the game was over. One member of his family, however, wasn't too happy to hear Pollack's comment.
"Mama doesn't like that," Theus said with a smile. "I love my mom to death, and she sticks up for me and my brothers like no other. I love her for that."
Quick Hits
Reporters asked Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo if he had seen the "Honey Bobo" sign that was displayed on ESPN's College GameDay before the South Carolina game. The sign featured a picture of Bobo with golden, curley hair, akin to the main character in TLC's "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." Bobo laughed and said, "I have not seen the show, but I saw the sign. Everybody made sure to send me a picture of it. I wish I had hair like that."
...Georgia practiced in helmets and shorts Wednesday and will do the same today. Linebacker Dexter Morant (illness) was held out of practice for a second consecutive day.
...On Wednesday, Richt said of his freshman tailbacks Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall: "They're not in awe of the situation, but they're enjoying it. Nothing is old hat to them yet. I don't think they have the expectation of 'I deserve this. I deserve that'…and I doubt they will because they're just that kind of people."

The University of Michigan women's basketball team will usher in a new era in 2012-13 as Kim Barnes Arico takes over as the ninth head coach in program history. The entire team is now on campus for summer classes, and MGoBlue.com talked with sophomore guard Aquashia Anderson, who talked about buying in to working hard, developing a point guard mentality and her decision to attend Michigan.
On how the summer went ..."It was tough and a challenge for me. I actually liked how much we were pushed the summer. I think it is preparing us for the upcoming season. We all worked really hard to get in the best shape that we could so that we would be ready for the actual season."
On the biggest change this past summer ... "Workouts in general were the biggest change we had. We were working out so much harder than we ever have. We worked on a lot of team building too. Our whole mindset as a group changed. We have to buy into working out this hard. We have to buy into doing what we need to do in order to be a better team than we have ever been. I think we have done a good job with that."
On what she took away from last season ... "I learned that we have a lot of work to do if we want to reach our goals. I learned a lot of leadership skills from everyone last year."
On what she learned individually from her freshman year ... "You have to work in order to play. There is so much hard work that goes into playing college basketball. You can't just come in and play right away. It all goes back to working hard, every single day. It was a learning process for me."
On what she was working on this summer ... "I wanted to work on being more of a point guard, as far as being more vocal and a leader out on the floor. I need to play better defense, so I focused on that. I spent a lot of time working on being quicker. I really was just working on having a better point guard mentality."
On her decision to attend Michigan ... "It is a great program. The academics here are great. There are a lot of successful people that have come from the University of Michigan. Everything I wanted in a team was here. Everything was a family atmosphere. You can really feel that when you come here."
On what this team can accomplish this season ... "We can do anything that we put our minds to. I don't think we have any limits. I know that we can go as far as we choose to. It is all about the work we put into it."
On her plans after graduation ... "I would like to play professionally one day if I can. If that does not work out, I want to be a coach or some kind of fitness trainer."
Sophomore guard Aquashia Anderson did not see game action during the 2011-12 season after graduating in 2011 from Meridian High School in Meridian, Miss. A four-year starter at Meridian, Anderson was a four-time all-district honoree and was selected for the Mississippi/Alabama All-Star team. She was an all-state member and named to the "Dandy Dozen" as one of the top 12 players in the state. Anderson is enrolled in the School of Kinesiology and is majoring in movement science.

I think your question is reasonable and your concerns founded, but I'm sticking with my original answer. Simply not a good idea.
This is a discussion on CC permit holders as air marshals within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; It is a bit naive of people to think that the threat of deadly force will act as a deterrent to someone expecting to die ...
It is a bit naive of people to think that the threat of deadly force will act as a deterrent to someone expecting to die anyway. Gee I guess I won't release this unpinned grenade I am holding in my hand because you are threatening to shoot me.
I think your question is reasonable and your concerns founded, but I'm sticking with my original answer. Simply not a good idea.
"Skin that smokewagon!".
Excellent question and most interesting.
I do think (as has been hinted at by others) that this underscores the flaw in thinking that firearms are the be-all and end-all of defense. In a tight highly crowded situation such as an airplane, with limited backstop and mulitple non-threats, I would be much more comfortable with short range weapons, be that spray, electricity, knife, stick, or hand-to-hand.
And in fact, there are many innocuous devices that can double as effective weapons that one can permissibly carry on commercial airlines.
Plus, I've seen IDPA experts take out non-threats on a stage. IDPA is fun, but it's not training.
Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five RingsYou should not have any special fondness for a particular weapon, or anything else, for that matter
Never happen, the current AMs have to requalify every 6 months as is stands. And currently are all ex LEOs I believe. But I do agree that the airlines should start hiring their own UCs for domestic flights.
The preceding post may contain sarcasm; it's just better that way. However, it is still intended with construction and with the Love of my L-rd Y'shua.
NRA Certified Pistol Instructor, World Drifter
<<If you knew there were armed people who might prevent you from succeeding at a suicide bombing, wouldn't you be less likely to attempt it.>>
Yes, because the terrorist wants to succeed in his mission. Referring to an earlier post, once he's pulled the pin on the grenade a threat to shoot him won't mean much to him, but he doesn't want to pull the pin on the grenade in the first place until it accomplishes his mission.
The BG's (hopefully) don't know which flights have armed personnel (FAM's, FFDO's, LEO's) on them and which don't, which is a deterrent.
Besides all the reasons against listed so far (training, discipline, accuracy, blue-on-blue, etc), here are a few more:
> FAMS, LEO's, FFDO's all go through psychological screening to try and eliminate (as far as is possible) nut cases. Permit holders are not (to my knowledge).
> Besides non-combatant passengers catching stray rounds in a cabin gunfight, what if the pilots do? It's going to suck if the BG's are subdued and there are two dead pilots behind that reinforced door. A big part of training to fly armed is shoot/no shoot decisions that are toward the cockpit, the discipline to properly make those decisions, and the training/talent to accurately make the shots if necessary. Do we want to trust those decisions and those potential shots to any untrained individual whose only qualification for obtaining the carry permit is good citizenship? (Note: Before I get flamed, I absolutely support right-to-carry for good citizens)
> Achmed claims to be wearing explosive underwear and shirt - can the untrained permit holder now restrain him/herself to head shots only - and make the shot(s)?
I'm trained to fly armed on commercial aircraft and all I can add is that there are many, many more reasons and scenarios that make this a bad idea.
Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side.
Being new to the carry community I am not familiar with master or expert registration. How does someone achieve those distinctions?
As far as the CC permit holders allowed on planes, I agree with many here. I would be afraid to allow just anyone with a permit to carry on a plane. I think that there are people who are extremely paranoid when flying that would react to small situations to hastily. But, I would not be objected to people carrying if they went through classes and were specifically certified to carry on a plane. Unfortunately, the antis will not see this as sufficient.
Marshalls are law enforcement. A CC permit holder is not - to suggest otherwise would be to feed the false perception that people think CCers are a bunch of vigilantes.
And in the latest Detroit incident, a firearm would not have helped. You can't do that against a gun. The only instances where it *may* help is a hijacking, and with these al-qaeda guys, you know they're going to plan things down to the detail, so even then, it's not as easy as having a few CCers on the plane.
First, It'll never happen...
Second, It'll never happen...
Third, It'll never happen...
And the list goes on...

[So, if most CC permit holders aren't to be trusted to shoot accurately, then can we trust them (each other) in ANY crowded situation in public..]
It depends upon how crowded the place is. I do not trust the average CHL holder to shoot in a movie theater, or the auditorium of a church for starters.
But note that we do not trust one another to carry loaded at a gun show. Most seem to agree with that prohibition.
I also think that the best defense, other than FAM, is that passengers swarm the guy. If we get killed, then it is better to be fighting than just blown up.
It is just a very bad idea to even consider CHL holders to be able to handle a terrorist situation including have sufficient markmanship abilities to make the shots that would probably be necessary.
Like some others I also think there are too many immature CHL holders who see themselves as heroes who saved the lives of over 100 people and shot the terrorist.
On the other hand....
How many of the people that fought against the terrorists with razor knives on the ill fated flight over Pennsylvania wished that they had a gun?
If there were two or three people on that flight with a gun, would it have crashed into the ground? Would they have survived? What if you were in their shoes, how would you feel? Would you rather have some with a fighting chance if your daughter were on that jet?
ANY chance of survival is better than NO chance.
To disallow that chance because of training or the argued lack of it is barbarian.
As of now, we are guaranteed to lose because we have made aircraft nothing more than a target rich environment.
For you guys that wont have permitted gun holders on flights because it is dangerous, thank you for arguing for the anti-gunners side, I am sure they appreciate it because they used the same arguments to prevent the states from enacting pro-gun legislation for years and years.
Times are changing. The world is becoming more brutal by the day.
One can either understand that and adapt, or choose to remain defenseless and make it easier for those that would kill us.
Your choice.
Universal Background Checks...the next step towards registration and confiscation.

Like custom guns and stuff? Check this out...
I could easily counter by saying, "You can adapt and acknowledge that you have other means of self-defense other than firearms or you can choose to remain defenseless and make it easier for those who would kill you. Your choice.".
Respectfully (and I mean that with absolute sincerity)
"Skin that smokewagon!".
Current or prior law enforcement, current ccw in case of prior LEO, pass a certification course.
Just because you a good at shooting at inanimate targets does not mean you have the mindset to shoot at a real person.
But it isn't going to happen.

That idea is up there with nationalized pistol permits..... great concept but it will never happen

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I would just copy one of Cooks voyages. Have your voyages meet the same weather at the same time making the same distances even going the same places.
The goal should be to make money, that was always the goal.
More info can be found here:
Daily Life Abaord Ship in 1700s menu page
Gulp! I get seasick real easy.
I am an author and writing a novel that takes place in the 18th Century. One of my characters is indentured to a ship's captain as the cabin boy.
They sail from Plymouth with the goal of entering the Pacific Ocean around Cape Hope.
My problem is simple: I can find information on knots and leagues and all that mechanical stuff.
What I need to know is some stuff about how the ship actually sails.
In this case, the ship is a brig built in about 1750. The captain is an expert mariner with a sailing master who has sailed in almost every ship the British put afloat.
So, if they sail southward, how fast would the ship generally sail? And, what is the likelyhood of doldrums around the equator if they avoid both the Canaries and the Azores, making landfall in the English controlled islands in the south Atlantic.
So, let's say there are fair winds, how long would it take from Plymouth to Cape Horn? Then, from there to just west of the tip of Baja California?
Estimates and anything else is deeply, deeply appreciated.

I always knew Sen. Mike Lee would prove an embarrassment to the state, but I hoped that after Sen. Orrin Hatch's "final" re-election he might demonstrate some measure of senior statesmanship.
No, Hatch stood on the Senate floor with Lee with former Sen. Bob Dole present in his wheelchair and voted against an international treaty to protect the rights of the disabled.
These paranoid "representatives" of the state of Utah are a disgrace!

Two Baby Penguins born in Sea world
Penguins Ocean and Miracle who were both born at uShaka Marine World are now the proud parents of two tiny chicks. Little Kola hatched on Monday 14th May after a lot of hard work and then just over 24 hours later little Kelp arrived.
Animal care giver Kelly de Klerk, took both chicks off the nest to weigh them and ensure that they were strong and had a good chance of survival. She was absolutely delighted when they both appeared in perfect health and were making as much noise as they could possibly make. This was a good sign as noise attracts attention from their parents and prompts feeding. They will be carefully monitored to ensure that their parents, who are new at the parenting game, are able to adequately feed both the chicks. If it is found that one of the chicks is not gaining enough weight, the smaller of the two will be offered to foster parents. We are confident Peanut and Puk, a female pair, will make ideal foster parents as they have raised foster chicks in the past and already have a nest prepared.
Kola weighed 140gms and Kelp only 70gms so Kelly put them both back in their parents nest – we will keep you posted on their progress and if all goes well they should be as heavy as their parents in less than three months.

Help Please!!!
I have a 90 gallon tank (48"L * 18"W * 24"H) and I really want to fully plant it. I tried it before but clearly the lighting i was using was incorrect. Algae eventually overcame the plants and those that didn't fall due to algae, never really grew either, they just existed, never growing but not really dying either, even though they were low light plants, mainly cryptocoryne.
After doing some research, I realised that 1st off my lighting was way too low, 1 32W 3500k pink plant bulb.
I'd like to switch over to a T5HO fixture, how many 48" 6500k bulbs, do you think I would need for a lower light set up?
Sweet pic for you to see the hardscape.
IMG_9032 by Gt Turbo 1883, on Flickr
You could get low light with a pair of Coralife or FishNeedIt 2 bulb T5HO lights, with one near the back and one near the front of the tank.
Hi Hoppy,
Thanks for the info. Since creating this post I did more reading on here and I'm thinking of using the "clamp lamp" cfl solution.
Given this new revelation, what I want to know now is, can I use three (3) clamp lamps using 15 watt bulbs at the front and keep the current light to the back? All lights will be placed directly over the tank and will not be hung above.
Would that give me an adequate amount of light.
It is hard to estimate how much PAR you get with two or three lights that are identical unless they are placed very close together. When you use a mix of different types of lights with unknown spacing it is pure guesswork as to how much PAR you will get.
Does any of this info help or are we still shooting in the dark?

Outlines of English and American Literature
Contemporary History
Long, William J.
We are still too near that period to make a history of it, for the simple reason that a true history implies distance and perspective. No historian could read, much less measure and compare, a tenth part of the books that have won recognition since 1876. In such works as he might select as typical he must be governed by his own taste or judgment; and the writer was never born who could by such personal standards forecast the judgment of time and of humanity. In a word, contemporary or "up-to-date" histories are vain attempts at the impossible; save in the unimportant matter of chronicling names or dates they are all alike untrustworthy. The student should bear in mind, therefore, that the following summary of our recent literature is based largely upon personal opinion; that it selects a few authors by way of illustration, omitting many others who may be of equal or greater importance. We are confronted by a host of books that serve the prime purpose of literature by giving pleasure; but what proportion of them are enduring books, or what few of them will be known to readers of the next century as the
Sketch Book
are known to us,--these are questions that only Father Time can answer.

"That is a lot of pressure," said Mayor Donnalee Lozeau, who participated in the exercise with other city employees including Tom Galligani, economic development director, and Steve Dookran, city engineer.
"Having a north bridge, likely in Merrimack, would be very helpful," said Lozeau.

I don't want to turn this into a social (it already is?) or anthropological thread, but a good measure for judging how the young population is doing is to look at statistics of science ineptness. For example, you can look at outcomes of questionnaires or studies on what percentage of respondents in a particular age group believe the Earth is about 6,000 years old, humans are not derived from ancestors shared with apes, plate tectonics is just a far-flung hypothesis, the embryonic environment and characteristics of the brain are unrelated to gay tendencies, life on Earth is unique, recent global climate change is not man-made, easily-extractable oil reserves are plentiful and not diminishing, immunization causes more harm than good, my own (accidental, by upbringing), regional, personal religious believe is superior - and therefore it should be supported by the community/state/country, etc.
Try it. You'll find huge regional differences. And it's not the coasts that should fall off the cliff.
OP sounds like a nice enough guy, but preaching about headlight legality on facebook is sooo...
Local LEOs usally have more and better things to do than chase kids in Hondas just for having bright headlights.
Just saying.
Frickin' facespace and all those whippersnappers!!!!!
Man, do you realize people said the same thing about you growing up? And I'm sure you have done a few things not quite legal either. Most people don't know they're breaking the law and aren't going to run out and buy new lights for their car because no one gets in trouble for it.
So stop the whole this new generation thing, because it's not 'this new generation' at all. You're just a bitter old dude, who probably isn't that old.
If anything, it should be an automatic stop to see if you are doing something else illegal.
Also, inspection stations that allow these cars to pass should be fined and lose their license to inspect vehicles for 6 months. That would stop it rather quickly.
So my car came with HIDs stock. One ballast burned out, I couldn't afford to buy a OEM replacement. So I bought an aftermarket ballast, should I be fined too? And I'm sure if people were made aware that they could potentially be fined, then they wouldn't do it.
Raise the awareness, and stop blaming it on the younger generation
OP sounds like a bit of a cry baby I'm sorry. Yes they can be annoying but no more than average idiot driving around with their brights on or one headlight aimed at the moon that I see daily. I've seen plenty of HID's in stock housing and never once have I been so blinded I thought I would crash. There are plenty of other things that scare me about the younger generation than a choice of headlights.
I did a HID retrofit using bmw x5 kendroin bixenon projectors. With the fact that the projectors cost me less than 50$ shipped, there is no excuse to be running drop ins when real oem projectors can be had for so cheap. simple 2 wire solenoids make wiring the high beams simple.
Ironically, while looking in my photobucket for a picture of my retrofit, I see an ad for HID's, where it looks like they photoshopped IN glare.
Old people shouldn't drive. Middle aged people are bitter asses with road rage.
Sold my Fleet
04 330i doing OEM+ and fixing the last guys screwups.
no one has a monopoly on the *******s... but this generation seems to have a lot more of them...
Im personally a fan of the "English degree from a college costing about 150k total to go to" and then they complain they do not have a job. Well, you majored in a language you already speak, in a country where that language is primary, and its history can be digested on Wikipedia. You read a lot of books, all of which do not really develop any marketable skills, and you didnt even get good grades in school.
Of course your not going to get a job, your a POS. If you spent even 2 minutes thinking about your future, instead of thinking about how to make college as easy as possible and how to do as little work as possible, you may have figured out a better major and would have a chance of getting a job.
I do not feel bad for you. And yes i will take a large fry with that.
(yes there are exceptions to the rule, but those people would have succeeded with any major in college because they understand how to do a few things, manipulate people, position and market themselves and their abilities, understand general concepts of life, business, and socializing, and they are not stupid to begin with. - we all know them)

text: NEW YORK, Feb. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., a unit of Oppenheimer Holdings (NYSE: OPY), today announced that it was the distinguished recipient of a 2013 M&A Advisor award for the firm's role as Financial Advisor to Ahern Rentals during the company's Chapter 11 reorganization. In winning this prestigious award, Oppenheimer was recognized for its work in helping Ahern to successfully navigate the Chapter 11 process to refinance its existing indebtedness and negate a competing plan of reorganization from its junior creditors, preserving full ownership for the Ahern family and positioning the company for continued growth. Oppenheimer received the award in the "Professional Services Business-to-Business, Over $100 Million" category at the 12th Annual M&A Advisor Awards Gala held at the New York Athletic Club. "Since 2002, we have been honoring the leading M&A transactions, companies and dealmakers. Oppenheimer was chosen from more than 400 finalists representing 850 companies to receive the award. It gives us great pleasure to recognize Oppenheimer and bestow our highest honor for M&A firms and professionals," said David Fergusson, President, The M&A Advisor. "Oppenheimer brought the full spectrum of industry and product expertise and capabilities to ensure best strategy and execution for Ahern," said Bruce McCarthy, Co-Head of Investment Banking and Head of Mergers and Acquisitions for Oppenheimer. "From helping Ahern orchestrate a pre-filing strategy that included a discounted debt exchange and the raising of new capital to preparing for and working through a difficult Chapter 11 process, we provided Ahern with the time and resources needed to realize its reorganization strategy, resulting in substantial improvement in its business operations and financial condition." "Our ability to seamlessly leverage our bankers' industry and product expertise and align our capabilities with Ahern's evolving needs throughout the restructuring lifecycle speaks to the strength of the Oppenheimer platform," said Marc Thompson, Co-Head of Investment Banking and Head of Technology for Oppenheimer. "The Oppenheimer team, comprised of professionals from our restructuring, M&A, capital markets and industry coverage groups, worked hand in hand with Ahern management to achieve a highly successful outcome for all parties." Since 1998, The M&A Advisor has been presenting, recognizing the achievement of and facilitating connections between the world's leading mergers and acquisitions, financing and turnaround professionals with a comprehensive range of services including M&A SUMMITS; M&A AWARDS; M&A CONNECTS™; M&A ALERTS™, M&A LINKS™ MandA.TV and M&A MARKET INTEL™.

I'll keep it brief and hopefully someone will be able to help me.
I live in a houseshare with 8 people and we recently asked one of the tenants to move out as we all agreed we were not getting along as well as all of the other housemates. we sent a polite email and he responded saying not a problem and asked if he could have 1 month to find somewhere else to live and asked for extra time to pay bills and rent.we happily agreed.
So it comes to the day and he has already left in the morning before anyone was up.
He now basically is refusing to pay anything. I can cover his rent with his deposit so rent is not a problem. The £140 bills he has not paid however is a problem. He has NOT signed any sort of contract but has agreed via emails and texts that he owes the money.
Do you think I have a case to go to the small claims court?
Thank you in advance to anyone that can help with my situation.
