ExSoldier's NOTE: I get these e-mails because I sometimes find leads from producers looking for the types of script I write. My agent recommended I register and since it's free, I did. But this site is more about passing along these kinds of opportunities as well as employment opportunities at ALL levels of the entertainment (read HOLLYWOOD) industry. I saw this one just now and I HAD to post it here! I knew the moment they said EXTREME views, there'd be something about guns somewhere on the list. Sure enough...while it's not #1....it's there. I considered registering as a good old AMERICAN PATRIOT but I thought about it and figured it'd be enough to have the school board in the district where I teach (ultra liberal) do something BAD to me. I'm too close to retirement to risk that. But I'll bet there's a young stud or studETTE (Ohhhhh BETTY!) who might take up this challenge and risk the label on national tv of RAMBO wannabe, Militia nut and potential racist....I mean if you risk this...that's the sad commentary of modern America on old fashioned VALUES. None of us fit any of the descriptions I've just mentioned. But that's how you'll be painted unless you're very careful and the game's not rigged in advance. They'd be risking a lot to do that these days.
ANYWAY....here's the e-mail in it's entirety as stipulated. My ONLY editing was to put certain areas in BOLD for emphasis to this group.

A new entertainment format in which 5 ordinary members of the public decide between them which 1 contestant is going to be given a large sum of money.
The 5 people hoping to be given the money do not have to answer any quiz questions or complete any challenges.
Instead, the panel of 5 will determine who gets the cash simply by hearing information about each contestant's life and deciding who they like the most.
They will hear all about each contestant's beliefs, family status, salary and occupation...they will also be shown photographs and interview the hopefuls which will all go towards building a case for each contestant to win the money.
However, there will be NO sob-stories - this is NOT about being the most DESERVING.
Instead, it's about the panel themselves and how they reveal their prejudices through their judgments....

Too bad Classic Liberalism is so misunderstood these days. Strict gun laws mean laws that are enacted in accord with the 2nd Amendment. WE are the real LIBERALS because we understand these EXTREMISTS put a little tension on the drum and make the world the give and take it's supposed to be. The extremists are dumbfounded we haven't opened up on 'em years ago. That's why they continue to push the envelope. With no basic principles or moral code, life becomes a childish game. Most of the members on this site feel like they'd be RISKING EVERYTHING by getting into their game. And they're absolutely right.
Sensationalistic stuff Jim as I see it - and that to titilate audiences who want ''wierd'' and freakshow type material, which is how I'll bet they'll spin a lot of stuff. I can see audiences as the typical jump-up-and-down game show variety.
Indeed ''risking everything'' may not be putting too fine a point in it, and I most certainly will gladly hang on to what little anonimity I have left!

So just who doesn't qualify?
At one level or another, they're defining most of the population as extreme.
Maybe they mean "different from us" (the producers) instead of "extreme". But they are probably so narrow minded that they see no difference between "different from us" and "extreme".
And "extreme", as we all know, is deserving of scrutiny and ridicule (at least for a start).

Fisheries and Wildlife Club sets up scholarship in memory of charter member
Posted: March 11th, 2013
FISHERIES AND WILDLIFE LEGACY - Officers with Lake Superior State University 's Fisheries and Wildlife Club join their faculty advisor and University officials in creating the Wendy J. Sak Memorial Fisheries and Wildlife Award. An annual award of at least $500 - more as the fund grows - will be made each fall to a member in good standing of the club who is at least a full-time sophomore pursuing any area of study at LSSU. Seated and signing chartering papers are LSSU president Tony McLain, left, and Fisheries and Wildlife Club president Tyler Jackson; standing, Nick O'Neil (club secretary), LSSU Foundation executive director Tom Coates, LSSU biology professor Geoff Steinhart, and club treasurer Matt Elya. (LSSU/John Shibley)
A print-resolution photo that runs with the caption above can be found by clicking here.
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. -An award-winning club at Lake Superior State University has established a scholarship in memory of one of its founding officers. The Wendy J. Sak Memorial Fisheries and Wildlife Award will help LSSU Fisheries and Wildlife Club student members of any discipline afford their education through a cash grant given each year.
An initial $2,000 check from the LSSU club set up the award fund. Fundraisers and donations from LSSU grads and past club members hope to grow the fund's principal to the minimum endowment level of $25,000.
The LSSU Fisheries and Wildlife Club, the creation of which is one of Sak's lasting legacies to her alma mater, recently garnered most active subunit award from the North Central Division of the American Fisheries Society for the 6th consecutive year. The division stretches from the Rockies to the Appalachians, and from the Arctic Circle to the Mason-Dixon line. It includes six provinces and 12 states. There are 21 student subunits that compete for the award, and all but two of them have graduate programs.
The scholarship honors Ms. Sak, who was killed at age 35 in an auto accident in May, 2012. She grew up in Burton, Mich., and was co-valedictorian of her Atherton High School graduating class of 1994. In 1998, she graduated from LSSU cum laude, earning a Bachelor's of Science degree in fisheries and wildlife management with a minor in law enforcement.
While earning her degree at LSSU, Sak played an integral role in forming the LSSU Fisheries & Wildlife Club. She served as a club officer and was very active in club events. Almost 20 years later, the club is now a multiple award-winning student organization with its own residence house, Laker Hall, on LSSU's historic Officers Row.
Sak was an avid outdoorswoman who loved hunting and fishing with family and friends. She had a great sense of humor and was known for her dynamic and outgoing personality. According to everyone who knew her, Sak had a love for life, for her family and friends, and for her university.
At the time of her death, she was a major account executive for Charter Business, a consultancy for business start-ups. She was extremely proud of working with her Charter A-Team and won many awards for excellence in sales.
Sak was also instrumental in reorganizing and revitalizing the Grand Traverse Area Sport Fishing Association. With her active involvement, the organization grew from 100 to 500 members and greatly expanded the number of events it hosts to promote sustainability of the natural resources within the Grand Traverse community area.
A scholarship award of at least $500 - more as the fund grows - will be made each fall to a member in good standing of the LSSU Fisheries and Wildlife Club who is at least a full-time sophomore pursuing any area of study at LSSU. Applicants must have a GPA of at least 2.5. The scholarship is non-renewable, however past recipients may be considered. Financial need is also a consideration.
Students are invited to click here to apply for this and other biology-related scholarships before the fall deadline of March 15. Click here if you'd like to make a contribution to the Wendy J. Sak Memorial Fisheries and Wildlife Award; type in her name under the "other gift designation" category.
For more information about this or any one of the more than 100 scholarships and awards available at LSSU, call the LSSU Foundation Office at 906-635-2665 or run a search for "LSSU foundation scholarships" on the Web.

On April 30th the Jaafari Personal Status Law will be voted on in the Iraqi Parliament. The Jaafari Law, as it's being referred to, has been controversial because it would enable Shia men to marry girls as young as 9 years old. Whereas the legal age for marriage in Iraq is 18 years of age, the Jaafari Law does not state an age limit for marriage, but spells out the divorce conditions for girls who have reached the age of 9. This piece of legislation, nonetheless, would also legalize marital rape … [Read more...]

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back: Women's Rights in Kuwait
It's been a busy month for the constitutional court in the tiny Gulf Arab nation of Kuwait. Earlier this week, Kuwait's highest court ruled that women now have the right to obtain a passport without the consent of their husbands and guardians. The ruling abrogated an article of a 1962 law that required women to gain their husband's signature on any passport application.The court, following complaints from thousands of women who have petitioned to change the law, finally ruled that the article … [Read more...]

Patty Scholten, who previously worked in financial services, became interested in cheesemaking after taking a course at Middlebury College in Vermont. She and her husband lived on college land and made the leap into the cheese world after the college enthusiastically agreed to let them build a cheesemaking facility on the property. Patty drew inspiration and expertise from the artisanal cheese community in Vermont and started making her certified organic Weybridge shortly thereafter. The Scholtens use the milk from their own herd of heritage breed Dutch Belt cows for their cheeses, which are ripened at the Cellars at Jasper Hill in Greensboro.
Weybridge is a delicate round with a bloomy rind, but don't let the size fool you; it's a very assertive little cheese with lingering notes of leather and smoke and occasional hints of anise and sweet herbs. The texture can vary greatly, from dense and fudgy in its younger days to velvety and almost completely broken down in later stages.

In Nicaragua, the legal age of marriage is 18 for women and 21 for men. However, with parental authorisation, girls aged 14 and boys aged 15 are allowed to marry.[1]
Indigenous minorities make up 5% of Nicaragua's population, most of whom are located within the country's Autonomous Zones.[2]UNICEF's 2014 State of the World's Children reported that 41% of women 20 to 24 years of age were first married or in union by age 18 (10% of them by age 15); no information was available on government efforts to address or prevent forced and early marriages, and some advocates claimed the government did not enforce the law effectively.[3]
The Nicaraguan Constitution states that family relations should be based on respect, solidarity and the absolute equality of rights and responsibilities for men and women. There is no Family Law in Nicaragua.[4]The Parent Child Relations Act grants mothers and fathers equal rights with regard to parental authority and to the education and care of their children.[5] However, according to the government's 2005 report to the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), the Civil Code still contains provisions naming the father as head of household and representative of the family.[6] It appears that women can pass Nicaraguan citizenship onto their children.[7]
As for inheritance, both the Constitution and Civil Code grant Nicaraguan men and women the same rights to inherit family-owned properties.[8] However, children's ability to inherit is based on the status of the parents, with illegitimate children unable to inherit. Further, according to data gathered by the FAO, in practice (legitimate) sons and male family members are more likely to inherit land than wives and daughters, who, in many cases inherit only the family home while the men inherit agricultural land.[9]
The law establishes that both women and men have the right to initiate divorce.[10]
[1] CEDAW (2005), p. 49 [2] Minority Rights Group (2008) [3] UNICEF (2014), p. 81 [4] Article 73 of the Constitution; CEDAW (2005), pp. 48-49 [5] CEDAW (2005), p. 49 [6] CEDAW (2005), p. 49 [7] CEDAW (2005), p. 20 [8] CEDAW (2005), pp. 10, 21, 49 [9] FAO (n.d.) [10] Article 1 of the Law No. 38 of 1988
In 2012, Nicaragua issued a new law on violence against women. The Comprehensive Violence against Women Law (Law 779) adds and revises several articles from the Criminal Code and sets responsibilities for public action. In 2013, proposed revisions to the law in the National Assembly came under heavy criticism from women's rights groups who accused the government of weakening its protection for victims of domestic violence by introducing mediation.[11]This law covers sexual harassment, rape and domestic violence and sets responsibilities for action for the government and public authorities to protect women from all forms of violence. This includes education programmes working with men and boys to challenge social norms around violence.
Domestic violence is most recently covered under Nicaragua's Comprehensive Law against Violence against Women (Ley Integral contra la Violencia hacia las Mujeres), which went into effect in 2012.[12] The definition in the new law includes physical and psychological violence.[13] As of July 2013, it was unclear whether the law, which includes comprehensive measures to "prevent, punish and eradicate violence, and assist female victims of violence,"[14] had resulted in a decrease in violence against women or an increase in convictions against offenders. Women's rights organisers have criticised the law for lack of substantial funding for implementation.[15]The law foresees the establishment of call centres, victim centres and public awareness-raising about domestic violence (Art. 22).
Although Nicaragua is a signatory to the Belem do Para Convention on the Prevention, Punishment and Eradication of Violence against Women, it did not submit a report to the Organization of American States for inclusion in its second hemispheric report on the implementation of the convention.[16]
Rape is covered under the 2012 Comprehensive Violence against Women Law (Law 779) which adds and revises relevant articles in the Criminal Code.[17] Spousal rape is not included in these laws even though rape of a woman who is married or in a stable relationship is recognised as lack of consent. Penalties for rape range from three to six years depending on the severity of the incident: aggravating factors include age of the victim (less than 14 or over 70), relationship to the victim (e.g. position of trust), if the victim has a disability, or if the victim is married or pregnant. The new law includes the establishment of six courts specialised in violence in departments that have reported higher rates of violence against women: Managua, Masaya, Matagalpa, León, Granada and Puerto Cabezas in the Autonomous Region of the Northern Atlantic.[18] The law also foresees working with health professionals to support victims of violence, including rape.
Sexual harassment, workplace violence and discrimination against women in public institutions are all included under Nicaragua's recently enacted Comprehensive Law against Violence against Women (Ley Integral contra la Violencia hacia las Mujeres).[19] Additionally, the Labour Code (Law 85/96) stipulates that women may not be discriminated against in the workplace.[20] The 2012 law introduces programmes and measures to raise awareness about sexual harassment in the workplace.
There is no evidence of female genital mutilation practices in Nicaragua.
In Nicaragua, rates of femicide are not as high as elsewhere in the region, although reported incidents have been rising over the past decade. According to the Latin American and Caribbean Women's Health Network (LACWHN), there was a 68% increase in femicides from 2007 to 2008.[21] In 2011, there were 76 reports of femicide[22] and, in the first few months of 2012, 26 women were killed (9 more than in the same period in 2011), according to the NGO Catholic Women for the Right to Choose.[23]
After pressure from women's rights organisations, the updated Violence against Women Law, which went into effect in 2012, included femicide.[24]
Under Articles 143 and 145 of the revised Penal Code, introduced in 2008, abortion is illegal in all instances, even in cases of rape or incest, or to save a woman's life.[25] Prior to that, abortion had been legal in Nicaragua for more than 100 years.[26] In its study on the laws criminalising abortion in 2009, Amnesty International found that this law disproportionately affects women under 17 years of age, since they make up a large portion of rape cases; in December 2008 alone, 77% of rape cases reported involved girls under 17 (295 of 379 cases).[27]

The male-to-female sex ratio at birth in 2013 is 1.05 and for the working age population (15-64 years old) is 0.93. [28] There is evidence to suggest that Nicaragua is a country of low concern in relation to missing women.

Recent advances have improved women's ownership rights in Nicaragua, but discrimination remains. A bill on gender equality for land purchase was adopted by parliament in 2010 to address the situation of women farmers and land ownership. The bill established a fund to enable women to purchase land with instalment loans for up to 15 years.[29], [30] In practice, women's plots are generally smaller than those owned by men and, despite contributing to the production of various crops, 64% of women do not own land.[31]
Since the Civil Code was adopted in 1904, Nicaraguan women have had the same capacity as men to gain access to property other than land. Women are entitled to sign contracts and to administer property.[32]A 1997 amendment to a law on property stability allowed couples to own joint property, thereby improving women's access to property other than land.[33]
Regarding financial services, there is no legal restriction on women's access to bank loans, but discrimination does occur. Access to bank loans is low for the population as a whole, but women have more difficulty borrowing and are typically granted smaller sums than men.[34]According to the latest data from the World Bank, 12.8% of women in Nicaragua had accounts at formal financial institutions in 2011, compared to 15.7% of men.[35]
Women are the majority of borrowers from microfinance institutions in Nicaragua: 56.14% in 2012.[36] Pro Mujer, is one example of a microfinance institute that facilitates women's access to credit. Its objective is to lift women out of poverty through a mix of services: Pro Mujer provides business and leadership training, preventive health education and primary healthcare services to women[37].

Article 31 of the Constitution guarantees women freedom of movement, but the Civil Code states that married women must live in the residence of their husbands' choosing.[38]
There have been documented cases of the murder of transgender people in Nicaragua and, in 2009, a Special Prosecutor for Sexual Diversity was created and tasked with the monitoring and implementation of rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people.[39]
There is no information on whether women's access to public space is limited in the Autonomous Zone.
Women and men enjoy the same right to vote and stand for election in Nicaragua. According to the 2005 CEDAW report, the main political parties have introduced quotas to increase women's representation; however, there are no quotas legislated at the national or sub-national levels in Nicaragua.[40] The CEDAW report notes that women wishing to enter politics still face prejudice and a lack of support from party structures.[41] As of 2011, however, women made up 40% of the National Assembly, or lower house.[42]
Women have poor representation in Nicaraguan media. According to a 2010 report by the Global Media Monitoring Project, 86% of news stories reinforce gender stereotypes, while only 8% challenge them.[43] Women are also only 25% of the subjects quoted in newspapers and make up 30% of news reporters.[44]
The Labour Code (Law 85/96) stipulates that women may not be discriminated against in the workplace.[45] Nicaraguan law also prohibits dangerous work for pregnant women and compels employers to transfer them to positions that would have no effect on their pregnancies. In addition, women who are pregnant or on maternity leave cannot be fired without a valid reason related to their work and are guaranteed their former jobs upon return from leave.[46]
Nicaragua offers women 12 weeks of total paid maternity leave that pays 100% of their average earnings in the last four weeks before childbirth. Sixty percent of their benefits are paid from a national social security system, with the remainder provided by their employers.[47]
Despite these legislated protections, the national Social Security Institute only covers about 10% of the national population.[48]In particular, women working in the informal economy have no access to social security benefits, and women working in the maquiladoras are often unable to enjoy their labour rights, and are forced to work in difficult and dangerous conditions.[49]

Re: The Process
Status Dates to Report on Meetings Regarding Advancement
At the Border Skirmish Towne Meeting it was determined that the next Towne Meeting at an event would be at Vanished Woods Event All Souls on November 3, 2007. That said, that meeting is to cover the Ayreton Carnival stuff as well as anything else. We can certainly have meetings at other events prior to that as well as meetings at times other than events as it has been requested. I shall speak with the Mayor about such dated and we shall try to come up with a series of dates that folks can vote on and whatever date(s) get the most response here on this list we will try to do.
I will remind everyone that we still have a total of three other things we are hoping to hear from the populace about both here and at the meetings.
1. The next Ayreton event. Should we have another Carnivale at the same site, or should we offer the site as a Spring Crown Tourney bid, and hold the Carnivale at another location? Currently the Crown has no viable bid. We need to get cracking on this ASAP.
2. Ayreton symbols and regalia. Those who attended the meeting saw on the banner the segmented ring. You can also see it on the (fuzzy) photo I posted of my medallion on the Ayreton website. Is this good or shall we try something else? Submit here your ideas and pictures, and in the near post-Pennsic future, we'll vote. There is also the possibility of having an A&S display at the next Carnivale of regalia created with the winning symbol.
3. Mayoral Selection. In my opinion we should make the process more accountable. Suggestions?
I will start another message thread so that these can be discussed somewhat seperately though just as publicly.

The saga of the child-raping, thieving squatters continues. David and Pamela Cooper continue to infest my house without paying rent, as if somehow they're entitled to my property – and apparently with the judge's blessing.
This has been a tremendously difficult time – both financially and emotionally. The stress has been unreal. The thieving, lying child rapist and his wife don't care about any kind of grief they cause others. They've stolen my house, and continue to refuse to leave.
As I mentioned before, my friends have been an incredible source of support! I have a network of beautiful, talented, passionate, supportive friends and acquaintances, who have picked up this cause to help me fight this horrid injustice. They've restored my hope, and that's pretty difficult to do, given the fact that I'm paying 80 percent of my takehome pay for housing (my rent, two mortgages, etc.) and have to rely on the kindness of others to ensure I don't lose my credit rating and my career.
Between my friend Amanda who started this incredible fundraiser to help me with any legal bills, and all the incredibly kind people who have offered not only financial, but also emotional support, and the enormous outpouring of good wishes, and my buddy Dennis, of Dragon Leatherworks, who auctioned off a pair of truly incredible "Sad Puppy" holsters to help me, and the numerous friends who have blogged this issue, the Internet truly restored my faith in humanity.
For those of you who don't know Oleg Volk, he's an amazing photographer and artist. Oleg and I have been friends for close to 15 years now. He's an incredible talent! Oleg decided to help by doing a fundraiser for me, and if you know anything about his work, this is a huge deal! Oleg is offering a poster print of your choice to the highest contributor between now and June 1, inclusive. Just donate to the cause and let him know when you have, and your choice of photo in print form is yours.
Not even kidding!
Check out Oleg's blog for details. It's pretty amazing!
Thank you, Oleg, for being an incredible friend. And thank you to all of you again for your help and support!

How much discipline is too much discipline? Last week, students across the nation discussed the benefits and harm behind disciplinary actions on students in school, particularly ones based on the zero tolerance policy in our #DoNowDiscipline post. We asked students Do you think that schools, teachers and administrators should change the way they discipline because of the new report on zero tolerance and new suggested guidelines? How might they punish differently? Is this a good or a bad thing?
Recently, the Obama administration announced new guidelines for punishment in school, urging schools to re-evaluate their zero tolerance policies and create ones that align with civil rights laws. Based on the zero tolerance policies, schools are allowed to issue strong punishments to rule breaking students, which may result in sending the students to court. For example, when Texas passed the policy in 1995, schools started to issue criminal citations to students for missing class, fighting, cursing and even throwing paper airplanes.
Students argued about the necessity of teaching students right from wrong, but also the importance of treating students with dignity. By the end of the week, the majority of the students agreed that the zero tolerance policies are too harsh and schools should assess a student's situation before deciding on the punishment.
Discipline is Too Severe
Many students argued that the zero tolerance policies are too harsh for students.
@KQEDedspace The zero tolerance policy is too harsh,considering some people are punished as if they brought a gun to school #DoNowDiscipline

Finding a Balance
Several students acknowledged the importance of punishment in school, but debated how far schools should go to keep students in line.

Government Needs to Stay Out of It
Some students discussed how the school should be the ones to decide the punishment and not resort to court citations.

Why I Chose Strother Archery over Elite for 2010
I have just noticed that every year Kevin's designs get better, and he has done his best creations yet, with the 2010 Strother lineup. My new SR-71 is smooth, fast, quiet, dead in the hand, and has a solid backwall. A little history with my opinion. I have owned an 06 Bowtech Tribute, then owning his improvement to that bow, which was the 06 Elite E-force, which was a better bow then the Tribute, an 06 E-500, which was a better bow then the Bowtech Allegiance, an 08 Elite GTO, and and 09 Elite GT500 , and now a 2010 Strother SR-71. Obviously, I like his style in bows. Right now, imo, Elite is basically just selling Kevin Strothers old models, except for the Judge. Elite did add adjustable mods to their bows this year, and this is better imo, then draw length specific bows. Well, I have his latest/best design imo, with my new Strother SR-71. I shot the Judge at Crackers shop in MO; VERY disappointed. It was a stiff draw, it had a noisy irritating little buzz to it, and it had noticeable hand shock. I felt it was a step back for Elite. I shot it back to back with the Strother SR-71. I could have bought the Judge at Crackers, or the SR-71. The SR-71 was the clear winner. Clear. Ray Charles would have stated the same; as closing your eyes is best way to really feel and hear the quality of the Strother, and the lack of quality in the Elite Judge. Both were bare bows; except the Judge had limb dampeners on it, the Strother none; nor does it need any and my bow won't have any added to it. Looks wise, I love the Predator camo on the Strother, over the Elite's camo. Shooting wise, it is a tack driver, and I really like the two draw stops, and the fact that it came with Crackers strings on it. I have put well over 400 shots through the bow, and the peep just comes back perfect, and the bow shoots phenomenal. I don't get paid to review bows, nor any company discounts. I just wanted to share my opinion and excitement over this new bow. Shoot them your self back to back..make up your own mind.
What did you shoot before you switched to a Strother, and what decided the switch for you?

Had a GT500 and while it was a very good bow it is no where near as good as my Strother SR71 Blackbird. 28 1/2 60#, IBO arrow at 330- FPS. I still have a Darton 3500 and while it is a good bow as well, Because of the Elite issues Kevin brought this bow out with hybrids rather than binarys, sure glad he did. the SR71 is much, much better. What fascinates me is how quiet the bow is with nothing on the limbs or string. I opted to have Wes VanHorn build me a set of strings for the bling. Crackers strings are very good but I wanted a little colour. (Purple and flo yellow).
Bow was very easy to tune and get bullet holes with. It does like a little bit of a softer spine arrow but will shoot anything in to the same hole. Because of the Elite issues Kevin brought this bow to market with Hybrid cams instead of the binaries. In retrospect that was great for us as I believe this cam system is better than the binaries..

Best of luck with your new rig, HCH. It does look great!
I often ask
Why even mention Elite?
Be happy with your bow and move on. Glad the Strothers bow works for you.
Elite makes a very good bow. Look at how many won at Florida shooting against some of the toughest compition in archery. Semi pro class.
Tim Ewers in Vegas in the BHFS Pro class.
Just be happy with your bow. No reason to try and compare todays bows. So many out there that are excellant bows.
Just find what works for you.

Strother makes a good bow for sure, just ask him.
Elite parting ways w/ Strother if nothing provides stability to their company.
Love the predator btw..

Great looking bow!
It's just fun to watch the jilted lovers on EAF get excited over my review of the 2 bows. Nothing more. I am a whatever I am shooting fan boy. Can't wait for my new PSE AXE 6 to arrive!John 3:16 Lifetime NRA Member/Iowa Bow Hunters Association/"Crackerized"Strother SR-71 "Crackerized"PSE AXE 6 UL shelter/stove geek
There are numerous posts on forums where guys have the same review of the Judge that I experienced. Here is a message I got yesterday from a guy; These types of messages I have had before:
i read your posts about the judge vs strother and have a question for you...
i picked up a judge for 525.00 saturday and finally got to shooting it today.
i have 8 other elites and actually shot a vanquish side by side with the judge.
i have never shot a bow with more jump and noise than the judge!
i have a gt500,gto,e500,synergyxt,envy,aigil and a few other and next to the judge...i really though there was something wrong with it. its in spec but shoots like crap!
i really didnt notice all the noise and vib when i shot it at the sellers house but it was turned down to 63#,shooting a heavier arrow and a different rest.
sorry for the ramble but i guess my question is,did the judge you shot that was set up at crackers have a ton of jump and noise?
thanks for any info..
End of quote.

Unless I missed something, this isn't EAF. So who cares what gets them all riled up and why are you trying to get people riled up here?
I personally don't shoot an Elite, Strother, or Bowtech (or any wheel bow for that matter) so I don't have a dog in this fight but just hate seeing someone come in and try to start a fight between fans of two different companies.
Judge wins again
Seems Elite shooter shooting his judge won the NW IBO Triple Crown. Open Class
Now I see more and more winning with this bow.
I think its proven to be quite the shooter. Imigine that!
Actually quite a few Elite shooters won this weekend. Paris and Illinois shoot. Seems many are winning quite often with them.

New 'Marvel Universe LIVE' Footage Reveals More Characters, More Dirtbikes, More Skateboard Tricks [Video]
Listen: If someone had asked me what it was that I wanted out of a live show starring a bunch of Marvel Characters, I would've given all the standard answers like big fights and special effects, but I would've also specifically requested that they find a way to throw in dirtbikes and skateboard tricks. I mean, those are my favorite things, but I would know, even as I was asking, that it probably wouldn't happen.
And yet, here we are with a new video about the upcoming Marvel Universe LIVE! arena show, and there are dirtbikes and skateboards. Like, there is actually a halfpipe and a dude straight up doing a Boneless. And, I guess, there's also some cool special effects and a teaser that characters like Captain Marvel and Black Cat will be showing up, but really: dirtbikes and skateboards.

text: 000 FXUS63 KMPX 262358 AFDMPX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN 658 PM CDT Mon Jun 26 2017 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 300 PM CDT Mon Jun 26 2017 Surface high pressure continues to build into western MN this afternoon and the center of the high is expected to slide to our south tonight. In the meantime, upper level cyclonic flow remains across eastern MN and western WI with a diurnally driven cumulus field once again. Isolated showers and even a stray thunderstorm will continue across western WI until this evening. Expect the cumulus field to dissipate this evening with mostly clear conditions overnight. With the cool airmass still in place, overnight lows will be able to fall into the 40s once again. For tomorrow, we finally see the winds become southerly on the west side of the aforementioned surface high, with warm air advection ongoing as the upper ridge to the west pushes in and the trough that`s been in place for the last several days progresses to our east. SSW winds of 10 to 20 with gusts up to 25 MPH are expected tomorrow afternoon as we find ourselves between an approaching low and the departing high. The precip associated with the approaching system looks to primarily hold off until tomorrow night, but did include a slight chance during the late afternoon timeframe in far western MN to account for WAA induced precip ahead of the main system. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday) Issued at 340 PM CDT Mon Jun 26 2017 There is high confidence that the beginning of the extended period will be wet and stormy as a strong short wave, and associated deep moisture regime, develops across the Northern Plains, and Upper Midwest Tuesday evening. The main concern is placement of the low level jet and orientation of the strong theta-e ridge /85h- 70h/, which may displace the core of the convection either north or south of MPX forecast area. Both the EC/GFS have similar forecasts in their surface features and short wave energy which yields a broad area of heavy rainfall across Iowa and southern Minnesota. The GEM or Canadian model focuses the heaviest rainfall across Iowa and separates the energy of the two short waves across Minnesota. This would leave a gap of the heaviest rainfall to the north and/or south of the MPX forecast area. As for the main forecast, it will still rain across southern/central Minnesota starting Tuesday night, the main concern is to pinpoint the strongest convection, and potentially heaviest rainfall in the Upper Midwest for Tuesday night, and into Wednesday. Later shifts need to focus on the development of the low level jet and how it sets up in the increasing unstable atmosphere. Severe weather parameters /see SPC latest outlook/ still support some isolated severe storms Tuesday evening as both wind shear and ample CAPE remain, especially in southwest/south central Minnesota. As for Wednesday, this is all dependent on whether the atmosphere can recover from morning/afternoon convection. The best potential of recovery and severe weather parameters are in south central/southeast Minnesota during the afternoon. No major changes past Wednesday as the Upper Midwest remains in a quasi-stationary zonal flow aloft. There will be a period of rainfall sometime next weekend, but timing in these type of fast zonal flow regimes is problematic in weather models. For those still looking for more heat and humidity... the longer range models are favoring for a warm-up after the 4TH of July. The EC and somewhat of the latest GFS does show an upper ridge beginning to build across the center of the country. 85h temperatures begin to rise significantly east of the Rockies early next week. This outlook still needs to be monitored and some modifications of this increasing warm air are likely, but the main emphasis is to highlight the potential and wait. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening) Issued at 658 PM CDT Mon Jun 26 2017 Western Wisconsin will have a couple broken lines of showers and an isolated thunderstorm early this evening, but these should dissipate by sunset. For MN, only some cu, which will dissipate by sunset. Only other item of concern will be the wind gradually shifting from the northwest this evening to southwest late tonight, then increasing Tuesday morning as gradient tightens associated with next incoming system. KMSP... Isolated showers this evening viewable from KMSP but are off to the east in Wisconsin. Otherwise cu will dissipate this evening with wind gradually becoming sw late tonight at less than 5 kts. South wind will increase mid morning Tuesday with some gusts over 20 kts tomorrow afternoon as gradient strengthens. /OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/ Tue Night...VFR. SHRA/TSRA late, with MVFR cigs.

Kashmere Cashmere Throw
2 Recommendations
StilettoJungle's recommendation
Airline courtesy blankets are foul and hardly make you rest easier on long flights. For a luxurious way to stay cozy warm, every long-distance traveler needs a cashmere throw to snuggle up with. This Kashmere throw is woven from luxurious, lightweight 100% cashmere and is the perfect size to keep in your carry-on and whip out when the melatonin kicks in.
My Collections:
kittymeow's recommendation
I own two of these, and the matching pillows. I love them. They are light enough to use all year round, and always offer the right amount of warmth. So comfy! I also give them as xmas gifts. And bluefly is my #1 favorite place to shop!

Two Canadian Soldiers Stabbed in Toronto
Two Canadian soldiers were stabbed in Toronto earlier today. According to the Toronto Police, the attacker entered a Canadian Forces Recruiting Center (CFRC) armed with a knife and stabbed two soldiers.
A 27-year-old man, the attacker walked into the recruiting center at around 3:30 p.m. and attacked the soldier behind the reception desk. The attacker was quickly subdued by a group of 6 to 8 Canadian soldiers working at the CFRC. According to CBC News and the Toronto Sun, the knife-wielding man said the word 'Allah' while attacking the soldiers.
"Some heard him say, 'Praise Allah' and others heard 'Allah' or 'Aly,'" a police source told the Sun. "Several heard the man use this terminology. It's not something you take a chance on and this is why the call was made to the police agencies who handle terror issues."
"We're very fortune that the Canadian Forces, through their training, responded, reacted, and as a result I can tell you the chances of this being much more severe, much more serious, definitely would have occurred," Saunders added.
Toronto Police Chief Saunders said they are considering a possible terrorist attack. The unidentified man will be charged with assault.
"Potential terrorist activity is one of the angles we are looking at," he said.
According to CBC News, "Saunders said police are strongly considering the possibility that the attack was an act of terrorism, but he said it's still early in the investigation."
Chief Saunders also added that the attacker made concerning remarks but declined to elaborate on them.
"Certain comments were made by this gentleman… that has caused some concern," he said.
"I want a full understanding of what was said, so I'm not giving bits and pieces," the chief said according to CBC News.
The RCMP, CSIS, Ontario Provincial Police and Toronto Police are currently investigating the situation.
Both soldiers sustained non-life-threatening injuries and are being treated at the hospital.
UPDATE 11:44 a.m.
CBC News reported that "Ayanie Hassan Ali, 27, is the Montreal-born suspect charged in yesterday's double stabbing at a Canadian Armed Forces recruiting centre in north Toronto."
Chief Saunders confirmed Ali said "Allah told me to do this, Allah told me to come here and kill people."

About the Owner
About martyn richards
We bought the holiday home after many years of self catering with 3 young children who are all grown up. We often found it difficult to rent a property that was well equipped, clean/well presented, comfortably furnished and in a good location. We believe our house offers the ideal combination for couples or families who want to avoid, poorly located, draughty and sparsely furnished properties. We found that old French cottages often don't live up to the idyllic picture on the advert. We have let the property since 2007; everyone has always been very complimentary about the house and loved the area. We put a great emphasis on maintaining the
martyn richards purchased this house in 2007
Why martyn richards chose Dinan area

The area never gets too busy so it offers the perfect combination of having beautiful beaches, interesting towns/villages and a good choice of places to eat whilst avoiding the crowds and traffic jams that can create holiday hell!
Superb for walking, cycling and water sports.
Very close to Ferry port at St Malo, so ideal for avoiding long drives with grumpy kids (or grumpy adults!).
What makes this house unique
We have been very particular to furnish and equip the property to a very good standard. Its not isolated and there is plenty to do and see without driving a long way.

Activity and Interests
Approx 10 minute walk to a beautiful sandy beach with numerous other beaches and places of interest within a short drive. Pleherel Plage is situated on the beautiful Cap Frehel; never too busy but certainly not isolated. Village Bakery and restaurants within walking distance (not out of season). Plenty to see nearby. Nearby Sable D'or is rarely busy, it has a fabulous beach and good selection of low cost places to eat. Erquy, Val Andre and St Cast are popular resorts nearby. Lots of French markets to visit. Dinan and St Malo also within an easy drive. We provide a guide to the area before you depart; The area offers an excellent blend for walking, enjoying the beach/coast, eating out and sightseeing. There is plenty to do nearby but the great thing is you avoid the crowds and busy traffic (Dinan and St Malo are busy but worth a visit). I am always happy to chat to make sure it's what you are looking for - we have been letting the property for 8 years - everyone has always been very happy with the house and loved the location.
St Malo would be the preferred port as it is approximately 35 minutes drive. Roscoff and Caen are alternatives although a little further away. A car is essential to enjoy the area.
Dinan 45 mins. St Malo 35 mins.

patch -p1 < ../wireless-patches/404-ath_regd_optional.patch patch -p1 < ../wireless-patches/ar9170_regdomain_override.patch patch -p1 < ../wireless-patches/ath.patch patch -p1 < ../wireless-patches/ath5k_regdomain_override.patch patch -p0 < ../wireless-patches/ath9k_injection_fix.patch patch -p1 < ../wireless-patches/channel-negative-one-maxim.patch patch -p1 < ../wireless-patches/mac80211_126.96.36.199-wl_frag+ack_radiotap.patch patch -p1 < ../wireless-patches/rtl8187-mac80211-injection-speed-2.6.30-rc3.patch patch -p0 < ../wireless-patches/zd1211rw-inject+dbi-fix-2.6.26.patch patch -p0 < ../wireless-patches/zd1211rw.patch
At this point you can decide to compile the whole compat-wireless driver-set, or just a single driver. If you know which driver you need, the second option is the better one. If you do not enter a specific driver with the "driver select" script, all drivers will be compiled.
./scripts/driver-select {required driver} # use this command to select a single driver to compile, rather than the whole package.
Compile and install the drivers:
make make install make wlunload


text: It's been a busy week for Matthew Fox. First, Dominic Monaghan called him a woman beater and stuck to his guns. Matthew has never responded to that statement. he had a friend respond, but Matthew has not said anything. Then, the female bus driver who said Matthew Fox repeatedly beat her while he was drunk dismissed her suit. Finally, Matthew pleaded no contest to his DUI charge so he won't face jail time but can't drive or have any booze for a year. Of course that is in Oregon so he will probably move to Mexico for a year and continue to drink heavily. Where is the rehab in all this? Hit a woman while drunk and then get a DUI suggests maybe he has a drinking problem. It might not be Christmas tree Kiefer Sutherland bad, but it seems as if he has one.

What Made Your Year? (And What'd You Miss Out On)
Jeff Stark, creator of the Nonsense NYC list says: "I still can't get over Taylor Mac's show at HERE. You could call The Lily's Revenge a play, but it was *so* much more. A five-hour long extravaganza. A multimedia drag show. A theatrical experiment. A burlesque explosion.
Those phrases still don't come close to capturing what was so special about it. It was like dropping into someone else's brain for a night. Sometimes in New York you get to visit another world, and in this one, dozens and dozens of artists and performers had decided to lift up one of their own as high as they could. I'll never look at a theater curtain the same way."
Stark wasn't alone. Adam Feldman gushed all over the piece in TONY. He said, "In its bravery, scope, creativity, extremity and sheer generosity of spirit, The Lily's Revenge, to my mind, surpasses any American theater in New York this year." Wowzers.
But it's about you. Tell us what made your year. Name the best food, song, movie, book, show or cultural experience you had this year. We're reading your choices on WNYC this month.
