This is a discussion on Virginia Legislative Update as of 2/10/12 within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; [Re-posted from a VA-ALERT with prior approval of VCDL] [First person singular pronouns (I, my, mine, etc) and "PVC" reference Philip Van Cleave, President VCDL] ...

[First person singular pronouns (I, my, mine, etc) and "PVC" reference Philip Van Cleave, President VCDL]
A lot has happened legislatively this week - some good, some not so good.
On Wednesday in the Senate Courts of Justice, the House version of the repeal of One Handgun a Month (Delegate Lingamfelter, HB 940) passed out of committee by the same margin as the Senate version of that bill had - 8 to 7. HB 940 just finished the first reading on the Senate Floor and should be voted on this upcoming Tuesday.
On Thursday in the House Militia, Police, and Public Safety subcommittee #1:
The following ANTI-GUN bills were KILLED:
HB 797, Delegate Morrissey's bill to add another penalty to a person who is open carried and under the influence
HB 1257, Delegate Sickles bill, which is similar to Delegate Morrissey's HB 797
HB 1226, Delegate Torian's bill to give higher educational institutions the power to ban guns
HB 1197, Delegate McClellan's bill to create a new crime if a person doesn't report a lost or stolen gun quickly enough
The following PRO-GUN bills were KILLED:
HB 1223, Delegate Hope's bill to allow open carry in the General Assembly Building (this bill had some problems, though)
The following PRO-GUN bills were carried over until next year:
HB 859, Delegate Gilbert's bill to exempt CHP holders from the state background check (but not federal) when buying a gun
HB 1135, Delegate Ware's bill to recognize the CHPs from all other states
Today, Friday, the full Militia, Police, and Public Safety committee carried HB 1052, Delegate Anderson's airport terminal carry bill, over until next year.
I will be discussing what exactly happened to the pro-gun bills HB 1135 and HB 1052 in a future alert (including some video). STAY TUNED.
Constitutional Carry is dead (HB139, Delegate Cole) - it never got a hearing. This is called a "pocket veto" and was intentional done by Republican leadership, who did not want the bill to be voted on.
Virtually all the anti-gun bills are dead. A few bills we opposed have been fixed and VCDL may move those bills to neutral status.
Status of key PRO-GUN bills that are still ALIVE:
HB 20 (Delegate Wilt) and SB 245 (Senator Obenshain) protects our right to carry and transport firearms during an emergency
HB 22 (Delegate Cole) requires localities to try to sell firearms before destroying them
HB 25 (Delegate Cole) protects CHP information from being disseminated by Circuit Court Clerks
HB 26 (Delegate Cole) provides a civil fine of $25 for failure to produce a CHP when asked for it by law enforcement (instead of the worse class 1 misdemeanor that is currently the law)
HB 375 (Delegate Pogge) allows employees of local governments to leave guns in the private vehicles while at work
HB 754 (Delegate Cline) and SB 67 (Senator Stanley) removes fingerprinting first time CHP applicants as an option for localilties
HB 940 (Delegate Lingamfelter) and SB 323 (Senator Carrico) repeals One Handgun a Month
SB 563 (Senator Ruff) cleans up some issues in the concealed weapons code
SB 663 (Senator Smith) allows a CHP to be used as ID when voting
HB14 (Delegate Habeeb), HB 48 (Delegate Richard Bell), and SB 4 (Senator Stuart) Castle Doctrine. I expect SB 4 to die in the House for technical reasons

I think we've beaten this Sumo-sized horse to death already but...let's kick it while it's still on the ground...
Learn a coveted skill — get paid more.
Simple right? ::buzzer sound:: WRONG!
It obviously sounds a lot easier than it really is, and even at that you still need to be pretty experienced to successfully market that skill.
I'm telling you this because a lot of times people will pick up these deals because the prices have been dropped and they figure, "I'll save it for later when I have more time"...
But it almost NEVER happens. It just sits there. Paid and waiting to be clicked, felt, and used more often than this Sumo's favorite fork. (Don't worry about how I 'click' my fork).
So let's cut to the chase here...
If you're someone who has proficiently learned HTML and CSS and you're looking to take the next step in web development...you should take this course.
If you want to create your own fully featured website with TOTAL control over data management, functionality, and visual appearance...you should take this course.
If you have tried to learn PHP or MySQL in the past and found it difficult to learn and successfully implement...YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS COURSE!
All others need NOT apply, click 'Buy Now', or drool at another deal that wouldn't benefit them now and should just close this window.
But if you're still here reading this...great! Because here's what you'll learn...
● How to build functional, full-featured websites which utilize MySQL, PHP, and other current web development technologies.
● How to install, configure, and modify functional PHP constructs and MySQL databases for the web.
● How to pair a secure PHP / MySQL backend of a website with a compelling visual interface made with CSS, AJAX, and JavaScript code.
● The basic principles and best practices of PHP and MySQL in a relevant, real world project.
● And more!
Bam! This course from Infinite Skills is bulging with over 125 lectures and 12.5 hours of PHP/MySQL coding content and it is highly recommended you take your time going through each video and learning the material.
Why? So you can fully take in the power that is PHP & MySQL and do some pretty cool things like...
● Create a membership site with member logins for private sections of your site
● Host a web forum
● Create & manage contests and drawings
● Create your own customized CMS
This video course will take you from a fledgling PHP & MySQL Sumo-ling to a developer who can hold his or her own class to teach others.
And in doing so, you'll be able to market this skill when looking for higher pay, add it as service if you're a freelancer, or just save yourself a ton of money from hiring a developer to design it all for you.
Each chapter comes with assignments to enhance the learning process with solutions and highly useful debugging techniques so you'll know how to keep your code squeaky clean and in marathon running shape.
The course is normally $99 to take on its own (which is yours forever to keep by the way), but this Sumo couldn't stand looking at two 9's standing next to each other...it just pisses me off for some reason.
So I HAD to squash the price down to $39, release it on AppSumo, and tell the world that we laugh in the face of high prices, negotiate like Indians, and mock the dollar sign while we sip on Sake and eat Sushi with Adamantium coated chopsticks.
Get your course NOW before time runs out and start learning to build your awesome databases and dynamic websites.

Within hours of Nike's announcement on 18 August to champion a toxic-free future, Greenpeace activists in cities around the world headed to their nearest Adidas store with huge Detox stickers to rebrand the shop windows and doors.
Nike has joined first-mover Puma, but Adidas is still stuck in the starting blocks.
Photos from this morning's rebranding actions are still coming in, and if you pass an Adidas store today you might see our stickers in the window!
Beau, a Greenpeace campaigner from south-east Asia mailed me some photos from Manila this morning and wrote: "Three volunteers dressed in bright orange coveralls gave them the appearance of professional work crew so even security did not bother them. They calmly attached the sticker panels to the shop window and then left. Some of us stayed around the mall area to see what the reaction would be. Half an hour after the store opened, the store personnel still did not notice it. Now we are betting how many days it will take for them to notice that they have a new brand."
Take action online
You can browse our Rebranding Adidas map below, or head straight to Google Maps to find an official Adidas store near you. Remember, only official Adidas stores! Click the map marker for the store, and if you see a 'Write a review' link, click on that too.
Adidas are falling behind in the Detox Challenge. Leave them a rating and review that'll encourage them to pick up the pace, and address their toxic water pollution problem. (And if you can't think of anything to say, rate other Detox comments you see as helpful, by clicking the "Yes" link beside them).

…And why isn't Young-Williams one of them?
NO ONE wants to see dogs or cats euthanized. That goes for us here at Young-Williams just as much as for animal caregivers at any other adoption shelter or rescue group. We all work hard to try to find homes for the many dogs and cats that are born in Knox County and our surrounding area every year.
So, what's a "no-kill" shelter, and why isn't Young-Williams one of them? Here's why:
Most pet-adoption centers put restrictions on the number and kinds of animals they take in. Some groups accept only healthy, well-behaved dogs and cats. Some shelters have enough space to house their few healthy, adoptable animals indefinitely.
Young-Williams Animal Center has no restrictions. As the intake animal shelter for Knoxville and Knox County, we never turn away any unwanted animal, no matter what its condition may be. We treat all animals we receive with compassion and care, and we make every possible effort to find them loving, "forever" homes. This means keeping adoptable dogs and cats on our adoption floors as long as we possibly can.
But last year, we took in nearly 15,000 animals at our shelter. We had to euthanize more than 9,000 dogs and cats. We don't have the space or resources to house every unwanted dog and cat in the area indefinitely — no facility does. And the sad fact is, many of those thousands of dogs and cats are too ill, too old, or too aggressive or dangerous to ever be adoptable. That's when we have no choice but to humanely put the animal to sleep.
We believe that spaying and neutering all pets is the best way to fight our area's animal overpopulation problem. Preventing unwanted litters of puppies and kittens in the first place reduces those huge numbers of unwanted dogs and cats that end up with us as their last place.
Please help us become a "no-kill" shelter, too! Spay and neuter your pets, and encourage your friends and neighbors to do so, too. For information on our low-cost spay/neuter programs, please click here.

Re: BALLISTIC COEFFICIENTS/Twist Rates
Very good information Lou and Bryan !!!!!
I had not thought about using the flat base bullets in over 50 years because I have all ways
liked to shoot as far as my ability and equiptment would allow and the only choice back before
computers was the boat tailed bullets.
All of my trajectories tables/ drop charts had to be fired back then to recent times because
listed BC were calculated differently from one bullet maker to the next and could not be
But now that we have the computer it would be nice not to have to re zero for changes in altitude,
temperature,humidity and so forth buy actually shooting a group under these
conditions and have to modify your drop charts across the range to be used.
What I see as the main benefit of good BCs for each bullet fired in a particular rifle is
the ability to calculate a solution that will allow a shooter to correct for all known conditions
and be able to predict bullet impact at any reasonable distance.
I am not very computer literate but I do know that the better information you put in the
better you get out of it. so that's why I would like accurate BCs not high numbers that don't
work in anything well.
What's the saying- Close only works with horse shoes and hand grenades.
Please keep the debate going for the less informed members Like me.

Of course it's a good idea to verify your predicted drop just to be sure the theory matches reality, but don't forego the step of predicting the trajectory in the first place, it's quite useful! Plus you can't shoot in every condition (elevation, slant angle, wind, etc) so at some point you have to rely on a predictive model.
However I also understand that to actually predict trajectories thru the transonic speeds for most bullets requires aerodynamic models that are not available (or would take years and $100K's - doplar radar - to develop for each round) AND would only be relevant for a particular rifle barrel... All this to predict trajectories beyond what most have the accuracy to hit a vital zone anyway... I don't think that's a 'better' way.
I'm not advocating trying to make a complete drop chart for each bullet/load/rifle. What I'm suggesting is that accuracy can be improved by doing shooting tests at the ranges you expect to shoot a particular rifle, then adjust the ballistics program to give a better match to real trajectories. It does help to have some instrumentation like a chronograph, a method of measuring air density, and to do the test in low/no wind conditions. The BC is a reasonable number to tweak to get the drop to match if you have good certainty of your velocity and air density, particularly since many programs already allow for multiple BC vs velocity inputs. For those programs which calculate spin drift the twist rate input to the program can be tweaked to match the shooting measurements of horizontal drift. Wind can certainly interfere with the tests, and can easily be larger effects than the errors that the shooting tests are attempting to correct. I use manufacturers BC's as a starting point and G7 values when they're available. I'm not trying to write a new ballistics program wich does not use BCs and there would be no available input data if I did. Should shooters attempt to do make these corrections? Only if they have the time and care to go to the effort.
At lest though they should make some shooting tests just to verify that their computations are close to reality. It's a little late after they shoot an elk in the leg and it hobbles off over a hill 800 yards away.
Shooting tests are a way to correct for situations such as the original poster was asking about, in that case why the spin rate appears to affect BCs. Few ballistics programs include the code to predict that effect, whatever the physical explanation may be. For most hunters getting hits close to the point of aim on first and subsequent shots are more of an objective than understanding the physics of how air affects bullets.
I agree that shooting though the transonic region is wrought with problems. Existing McCoy based ballistics programs and BCs are nearly useless for predicting transonic performance. The spin rate of the bullet as it goes transonic is rarely known at all and the programs like McGyro don't calculate the decay of the spin rate vs velocity or time. I am not recommending hunting or even target shooting beyond transonic range and velocities. It's interesting though that transonic shooting used to be common for the military. Many WW1 rifles had sights calibrated to 2000 yards or 2 km. They were used for volley fire on massed troops. It is possible to get pretty good accuracy shooting transonic. Few "long range" modern rifles however have spin rates or bullet designs which make it practical.
I'm in that 0.1% you mentiond who is interested in trying to understand the physics including shooting subsonic and shooting though the transonic range. I suppose this is the wrong forum to even bring it up. I do think though that every shooter who uses ballistics software should be aware that all programs are limited models and they need to understand what the limitations are. Used outside of those limits they can give very wrong answers. There are many small amplitude ballistic effects with few, if any, available programs even address. No, I don't expect BCs will go away for sports shooting. Both Sierra's multiple G1 BCs and Berger's publishing of G7 BCs are fairly successful methods for improving the predicted trajectories.
Bryan, I don't disagree with anything you said in your last post. You support Berger bullets and their objective is to sell bullets and make them useful to the shooting public. For that I think you and Berger are doing an excellent job. Even I don't think there would be a practical advantage in developing new ballistics programs and doing millimeter radar measurements to get drag functions for each projectile. It could only be cost effective if the equipment was used by many bullet manufacturers.
You've reminded me that the effort required and money spent would be better directed. Some of it no doubt toward developing a practical instrument to accurately measure the wind along a bullets trajectory. That would give a greater improvement in long range shooting accuracy than making new ballistics models possibly could even if they are perfect.

Re: BALLISTIC COEFFICIENTS/Twist Rates
We're on the same page for the most part. I only took issue with your treatment of BC's as a useful concept because you seemed to imply that BC's weren't 'good enough' for general use.
As far as 'tweaking' BC's to match
trajectories, I have to raise a caution flag there as well.
There are many variables that can make it
look like
the BC is in error, when in fact it's something else. For example, a common one is scope reticle movement. If the program predicts 10 MOA of drop and you dial your scope 10 MOA and hit low, well, the BC
must be
off, right? The serious shooters here on LRH know better but many shooters are quick to question the BC because it's the most mysterious and (generally) the least understood variable. You can 'tweak' the BC to get it to make up for an out-of-calibration scope, but it won't really be right. You end up chasing your tail by defining multiple BC's to make up for the scope error, and in the mean time your predicted impact velocity, energy, wind drift, etc are all in error because you're feeding the program a false BC to force it to match the skewed drop values resulting from the out-of-calibration scope.
The out-of-calibration scope is just one example of a common error source but there are many others that tempt people to 'tweak' BC's to match their
Even having said all that, I acknowledge that there are still some cases where a certain rifle with a certain barrel will fire a bullet in a way that slightly affects the effective BC that bullet flies with. Variations in BC tend to be small for accurate rifles. If too much yaw is induced, or too much surface scaring, etc, the rifle will probably not be accurate by our standards.
As to the test results from the original poster, I can't remember the details now, but when questioned, I seem to remember some missing information like some key atmospherics, or velocity measurement, or something that the measured BC's were based on. No disrespect to the tester, but truly accurate BC testing is HARD. Even if your test procedure is sound, you can easily have instrumentation error that you don't know about. Is your Kestrel calibrated? How do you know your chronograph is accurate? What about your laser rangefinder? When you test BC's, every single variable has to be known to a high degree of certainty or the error will compound on the final result.
I do think that unique drag functions are useful for those projectiles that remain comfortably stable thru transonic. If the bullet exhibits low pitch/yaw, then it's trajectory can be predicted quite well at all speeds, but most bullets fly unpredictably at transonic, making prediction a futile effort.
Thanks for the healthy exchange Lou. Always good to investigate and discuss alternate approaches.
Take care,

Re: BALLISTIC COEFFICIENTS/Twist Rates
Good info bryan, id have to agree 100% with your comments on "tweaking" the BC to match known drops.
My last scope tracking was unknowingly out by 5%. So instead of dialing 8mils i was actually dialing 8.4mils. I ended up chasing my tail for ages tweaking velocities and BC`s to match the trajectory i was getting, never getting it 100% correct until i finally found the problem. Same goes for the Zero, it has to be 100% spot on and remeber to rezero it if you tweak your load in any way or shoot in different weather conditions.
Bryan, i found your ballistic testing and measured/calculated G7 BCs be of greatest help in this regard also. Using your G7 BCs i tweak my velocities now to line up my trajectories with known drops at 1000yds and it gets me damn close, certainly less than 1 click at this distance which is certainly closer than using my chronographed velocities and tweaking the BC. Obviously my chrony isnt accurate enough.

Good point Groper,
Lets talk "Tweaking"............
Say you have a scope that is out 5%. What's the best way to compensate for this error given that shooting under a hunting situation, the distance, pressure, temperature etc will always be different?
I have two scopes that have about 7% error in the elevation adjustment. What I do is measure the velocity, then calculate the real drop required at about the maximum range that I intend to hunt using the best available B.C. numbers that I can find including Bryan's G7.
I then shoot at that distance and measure the error on the target. I then adjust the dial cap to read the calculated dial up and then shoots at closer ranges. The closer you are to the target the less the error matters.
ie, Say I am out by 2 MOA at 800 yards. I move the turret 2 MOA and lock it in position.
I may then be 1 MOA out at 400 yards and 2 MOA out at 100 yards but that is better than being 2 MOA out at 800 yards. If you follow my drift.

Re: BALLISTIC COEFFICIENTS/Twist Rates
Well luckily my ballistic calculation software allows me to input a "custom click value" so i simply get it to output the elevation in "0.105 milrad clicks" instead of "0.1 milrad clicks" like its supposed to be.
Failing that capability, i would simply adjust the total elevation required by 5% and round that number to the nearest click. In your case 7% adjustment.
So if your calc is telling you you need 35MOA for the shot and your scope is out 7% over for instance;
multiply 35MOAx1.07= 37.45MOA = rounded dial ON THE SCOPE 37.5MOA.
If its out by 7% under;
divide 35MOA/1.07 = 32.71MOA = rounded dial ON THE SCOPE 32.75MOA.
DO NOT tweak the G7 BCs that bryan has published, they are closer than 1% accurate, they do not need tweaking. Its the velocity and scope where the problems lie.
Reverse calculate the ACTUAL drops from the elevation you dialed on your scope taking into account 7% error.
TWEAK YOUR VELOCITY, to match the ACTUAL drops at as much distance as you can, No less than 800yds preferably but the more the better, 1000yds is ok.
IF you dont have a tested verified G7 BC from bryan, then things get a whole lot more difficult and the best way forward would be calculate your own BC from shooting thru 2 chronies as far apart as possible, 1 at the muzzle and 1 at 500yds would be ok.

Without making things sound too simple, after all of the preparation work had been done it was more or less a matter of turning the crank and getting the job done. There was of course a great deal of give and take during the Scrum sessions and the technical planning meetings; it was complicated at first to get to grips with the project management style and the way estimations were made and tasks were tracked. However, the small physical size of the studio (900 sq. ft. for 12 people) and the readiness of the leads to dive into the details helped enormously in creating a driven but supportive studio culture.
Of course, free Coke and espresso might have helped that.
From the first round of discussions with the core team in early 2011 to the final launch date, roughly 18 months passed. In those 18 months, Amplitude generated:
And consumed:
But the first public, critical milestone occurred on May 5, 2012, when the alpha went on sale. This was in and of itself a coup for the studio; it's unusual that a new independent studio is allowed to roll out an alpha version under the glowering eyes of Valve.
However, as several team members had worked with Valve and on Steam -- and in fact on Dark Messiah, the first non-Valve game ever to use Steamworks for multiplayer -- the good folks in Seattle decided to give us a chance. However programmers never get a break; as Unity is in C# and Steamworks is in C++, Eric's team had a lot of work to do to get the back ends of the two packages talking to each other.
The alpha launch went as well as we might have hoped. It helped, of course, that using the Scrum process meant that we had been testing and iterating the game, playing on stable (if limited) versions for weeks before the alpha date. Had the alpha version been full of bugs, the story would have been entirely different. As it was, the alpha and beta of the game garnered glowing comments for their stability and reliability.
We saw a number of development hypotheses validated:
And some surprise comments:
For the release, we built a standard "Admiral" edition ($29.99) that had a few extras, plus the "Emperor" special edition ($34.99), which added more extras and included a new faction with re-skinned ships (The color of the new skins, incidentally, was chosen in a G2G vote). The alpha only had four of the eight factions and was released at a 25 percent discount to the list price. The beta version was content-complete, and sold at only 10 percent off the list price.
Some interesting stats are:
During May and June studio activity hit a peak; in May it was making sure the beta version would be content complete and in June it was balancing the beta's AI and fixing bugs. That was the only real crunch period that the studio had to handle. Otherwise, the pace was intense but rarely did the developers have to work outside the unofficially official hours of 10-ish to 6 or 7-ish.
On the down side, we had some bad luck with release dates. The alpha came out ten days before Diablo III, and the final version just one week before Steam's Summer Sale. We had some worried days and sleepless nights, wondering if the announcement of our baby's birth would get lost amid the noise of the elephants trumpeting.
In both cases, however, we didn't really have other options. A self-financed studio has a development plan and a bank account; if the game does not launch and start bringing in cash the studio will go out of business. Early July ended up being the date that made the most financial sense, regardless of the risks due to Steam's annual sale.
Community reaction to the launch was generally positive, but some members felt that the game needed more time in beta to smooth the rough edges and, in particular, improve the balance of the AI. We didn't disagree with them; the launch was version 1.0 and as of publication, we're on 1.0.30 and are still tweaking the AI. But as explained previously, we didn't have a whole lot of options. We needed to generate cash, and even though we had very encouraging sales during the alpha and beta releases, we weren't earning enough to keep the lights burning for several more months of dev work.
Overall, we are ecstatic with how great the community has been and are very happy with our sales. The sales arc has been fairly predictable; three weeks after launch we had sold a total of 110,000 copies (all versions and all editions), and a month later 150,000. We are now working on free add-ons in 2012 and probably a paying expansion in 2013. The first add-on, Rise of the Automatons, was launched October 1st and included a new community-created and G2G-voted faction. We have started asking the community what they would like to see in the expasion.
While we won't say that the game is a resounding success, it has at least sold over 150,000 copies and is breaking even. A lot happened in a relatively short time, and after polling the various members of the team the following elements are what stood out as Key Success Factors (or, depending on where the sales end up, Key Not-Total-Failure Factors):
What we might have done differently:
So what will we do next? Primarily, there is a serious desire to continue developing and evolving Endless Space. As Mathieu put it on the forums, "...this release is just a step in the life cycle of Endless Space, this is not end. We are committed to constantly improving and expanding the game for many months after release." So a dedicated team will stay 100 percent on Endless Space, and G2G votes will continue as the team and community decide what new features and gameplay needs to be added. We have the extension to work on, and will probably eventually start thinking about a second IP.
We just hope that close contact with the community, a passion for great games, and the fun of working with a great team will ensure a long and entertaining future for all of us at Amplitude.

Canon PowerShot A495

Gary Knell, CEO of National Public Radio: Stop promoting hydrofracking natural gas as good for the environment
People trust NPR for investigative and unbiased coverage of the news. But their promotion of the American Natural Gas Alliance commitment to the environment calls into question their even handed approach to this volatile issue. It is like denying climate change. The adverse health and environmental impact of hydrofracking are well documented. Some states (Vermont) and some countries (France) have completely banned it. In NY, many citizens are fighting the industry's attempt to start fracking here. NPR should not promote fracking for gas.

Now that everything has settled down and I had some spare time I took apart the center console and it appears that the 2 wires from the cigarette lighter merge into a cluster of wires. Now it appears that this wiring section breaks off and connects to the amp for the radio, some other connection right under the cup holders and then it runs deep into the dash. Well I took all of my installs out of the vehicle however when i turn the truck on I am still getting smoke as if the wires are heating up... i was wondering if anyone knows what this wiring is for or how i might be able to get to it all or if anyone has any idea if this kind of incident would be warrantied if i brought it to the dealer.. thanks for any input.

Because Quality Answering Service is our Expertise
To be the experts in our field, we carefully construct our team, starting with the hiring process. In order to be a part of our team, a person must have a "can do" attitude. Why is this so important? Because having the attitude for excellence is crucial for true customer satisfaction and quality control.
Our approach is simple. Invest in our people and they'll pay it forward to you, the customer!
Building a Passionate Team of Experts
To ensure we build the best possible team, we ask all job seekers to go through testing, simulations and interviews. By putting in the effort to select the most qualified operators, we are assured that in the end the customer is well taken care of. Details on the hiring process can be found on the building team excellence page in the careers section.
After-hire Training
Once the agent has completed the hiring process, they enter a six week basic training program where they learn how to professionally answer calls and become familiar with the VoiceNation philosophy of being an extension of our clients' business. This time of mentoring is beneficial to the new hire as well as the mentor as they learn to share the passion with the newer hires. For more details on basic training, take a look at our hiring process.
Staff Development and Continuing Education
Staff Development is a popular word around VoiceNation. All CCR's (Call Center Reps) attend weekly staff development sessions on various topics such as dealing with disgruntled callers, phone etiquette, typing skills, and customer service. Call center reps are encouraged to look at their position at VoiceNation not as just a job, but as a professional career ... one that requires dedication, enthusiasm and ongoing training. Take a look at how we take staff development seriously.
I would like to pass along thanks to everyone who interacted with your agents over the course of our testing commented on the professionalism and thoroughness of the conversation. — Erik Malone, Globys
Quality Over Price
When choosing an answering service, always remember that quality comes with a price. You should treat this process as if you were hiring your own full time personal assistant. The problem with budget answering services offering low monthly fees, is can't possibly invest the same amount of time and money into hiring, training and quality control that VoiceNation does. With VoiceNation your business will sound like a Fortune 500 Company.
Quick Fact
We audit over fifty percent of every single call that comes through our call center. That's thousands of calls and hours and hours of time dedicated to ensuring the best quality answering service available. You won't find this kind of assurance at any other live answering service.

As an evangelical Christian, I believed that infants were born with a sin nature. Even before they did anything wrong, they were already tainted with sin and already in need of forgiveness. In the Judaism 101 conversation about sin and forgiveness, one strand of the conversation spun off to discuss human nature, whether humans are born good or evil, and the nature of sin. Once again, reading what the panelists had to say I was struck by how different and distinct the Jewish view is from the … [Read more...]

Growing up as an evangelical Christian, much of my beliefs about God revolved around forgiveness. I believed that as humans, we were all sinners, and that sin demanded forgiveness and that forgiveness could only come from God through the death of his son, Jesus, on the cross. Without Jesus' death to atone for our sins, I believed, we could not be forgiven for a single one of them and would still bear their blackness---the consequences of which were death. Of course, I was always taught that … [Read more...]
Judaism 101: The Messiah
Growing up as an evangelical Christian, I believed Jesus was the Jewish Messiah---I was taught that he fulfilled hundreds of Old Testament prophesies. I was also told that the Jewish people had missed the coming of their own Messiah. Even as a child, I always found this curious---how could they miss something so big and important? As I began to step outside of the world of evangelical Christianity and into a world of greater nuance, however, I knew that there was a part of the story I had never … [Read more...]
Judaism 101: Gehenna (Hell)
In this segment of my Judaism 101 series, the panelists discuss the Jewish view of hell---or to put it in Jewish terminology, Gehenna. While I was questioning my evangelical beliefs, I remember very clearly the day I suddenly asked my self "what does the Old Testament actually say about hell?" The answer, I concluded, was not much---or at least not much that resembled the Christian version of hell that I had grown up with. Ever since then, I've been fascinated by the differences between the … [Read more...]
Judaism 101: Born Jewish?
My Judaism 101 series will return in a couple of weeks, moving on to topics like the nature of God and the meaning of sin, but for the moment I want to post another rabbit trail that resulted from a previous Judaism 101 email thread. This time the panelists went off topic and discussed the issue of descent. We'll get back to the topic of what makes someone Jewish later, of course, but for the moment I found this discussion interesting because of how foreign it sounded.In my family and church … [Read more...]
Judaism 101: Thoughts on Passover
Given that this week is Passover, I decided to ask the Judaism 101 panel to share some of their thoughts on the holiday, and on what it meant to them. This post is the result of that conversation.(Judaism 101 involves ten Jewish readers of my blog answering questions about Judaism in a panel format. (I introduced this project and provided bios of each panelist here.) Feel free to ask questions or ask for clarification, but remember that the goal here is to learn more about other faith tra … [Read more...]
Judaism 101: The Torah and Other Sources of Holiness
What various sources do Jews consider holy? How they approach and use these various sources? How do Jews of various persuasions differ in their approach to and use of these sources? In this installment of Judaism 101, we'll be talking about the sources Jews consider holy and the various "denominations" within Judaism. Judaism 101 involves ten Jewish readers of my blog answering questions about Judaism in a panel format. (I introduced this project and provided bios of each pa … [Read more...]

I voted for Barack Obama and my wishes were always that he would be a successful president. The past two years have made me as much sad as angry at his ineptitude as a leader. The essence of leadership is clearly articulating goals of the administration. On several occasions, our president has complained that "people don't understand" in referring to the successful programs he has initiated. Yes, the programs were better than those brought forth by Republicans, but if they "don't understand" the problem is lack of clarity and communication on the part of the president. During the past few weeks, Obama has vented his frustration at failure on the part of "liberals" to appreciate his accomplishments and, in particular, his successful negotiation with Republicans last week. Sorry, Mr. President, but a poker player, you are not.
There is an episode on the Seinfeld show in which always inept George Costanza "negotiates" with NBC so instead of receiving $10,000 per episode, they wind up with $7,000. Liberals are NOT against negotiating with Republicans. We are angry at the negotiator who gave too much away too soon. For example, what if the president said no to changes in the estate tax. Would Republicans have refused to proceed and thus open themselves up to denying middle class tax cuts in order to protect 300,000 wealthy families? I doubt it, as do most "liberals."
There are times when a good poker player calls the bluff.

Preschool Staff
Grace Preschool, LLC Directors & Staff
(From Top Left) Sonja Mausser, Paula Satterfield, April Planer,
Alison Yuille, Kendra Fox, Karen Phillips,
Claire Vallaster, Ginger Elliff
Grace Preschool, LLC has two directors, Rick Stone and Kendra Fox. Rick is the Administrator and Missions Director at GCC and also provides oversight of the preschool program. For more information on Rick, please go to the GCC staff profiles here.
Grace Community Church is blessed to have such dedicated and God-centered leadership to equip the next generation to delight in God's glory and minister to children and their families.
Kendra Fox - Director
"Grace Preschool ministered to my family years before I ever became the director. My eldest daughter attended pre-K and loved her teacher and class. I immediately fell in love with the staff as well and was honored to come on board in 2008. I live in Granbury and attend church at Grace Community Church. I meet and married my husband, Kevin in Maine and we have raised our three girls in Texas. It has been a joy to work alongside a passionate group of believers!"
Teaching Staff
Sonja Mausser - Whale Class Teacher
"I have been teaching pre-k at Grace Preschool for 8 years now and still get excited every new year! I have been teaching on and off for 20 years and believe that God has purposed me to teach. I love what I do and thank God for each year I can teach."
Paula Satterfield - Owl Class Teacher
"I have been a mom for 18 years now with a total of four children (12 thru 18) and a preschool teacher for the past 9-10 years, all with Grace Preschool. I am in awe of what God has done with our preschool and the opportunities He has blessed us with in reaching out to our beautiful community. I love teaching the little ones as I am a visual thinker and they can not yet read so we do most everything in pictures - it is a perfect fit, for me at least. Seeing their little faces light up with a 'job well done' is my joy and to glorify Him is my purpose in ministering to the next generation."
Alison Yuille - Monkey Class Teacher
Alison Yuille grew up in Ontario, Canada. She completed her BA at Brock University and BEd at Trent University. She married Stephen in 1991. They have two daughters, Laura and Emma. Alison and Stephen were missionaries in Portugal from 1995-2000. Before moving to Glen Rose in 2009, Alison taught at Rhema Christian School in Ontario. This is her fifth year serving at Grace Preschool and she is looking forward to teaching young hearts the truths of our great God.
Ginger Elliff - Frog Class Teacher
"My name is Ginger Elliff and I am the Frog Class (2year old) teacher. My family and I are members of Grace Community Church and have been attending since 2008. My husband, Daniel and I are grateful to God for the four sons that He has graciously entrusted to us. We have been blessed that three of our children have been able to attend Grace Preschool. I have been teaching preschool since 2007 and involved with Grace Preschool since 2009. I'm always excited about the Christ centered principals and godly character development that Grace Preschool holds to and how that will bless us with the relationships we have with our own children in the years to come. It will be a joy for us to see an everlasting change in our children's hearts as they grow in these godly principals and I am delighted that we have this opportunity to witness God's grace as we see how these little ones handle life's situations in a pleasing and God glorifying way. It's an honor and blessing to be ministering to the families in our community in this way and I look forward to meeting your family and interacting with your children."
Karen Phillips - Frog Class Helper
"I am very blessed to work with such a precious little group! In this class we begin to explore the wonderful world God created. We also begin to work on our social skills and become familiar with some basic biblical and educational concepts. What a wonderful privilege it is to be a part of these young lives!
I grew up in Irving, Texas. My husband, Jeff, and I moved to Glen Rose in January of 2012, and we became a part of Grace Community Church shortly afterward. Before that, we lived in Flower Mound for almost 20 years and I worked as an administrative assistant in an Irving church for over 18 years. Together, Jeff and I raised five sons, and we now have three beautiful daughters-in-law and three awesome grandsons. I bring the 'grandmother' factor to the Preschool!"
April Planer - Frog Class Helper
I am excited to be a part of what Grace Preschool is doing in the lives of children. It's a joy to get to know the children, to see their faces light up with understanding at the discovery of something new, and to share, in word and deed, the good news of the gospel with them.
I grew up in Texas but when I met my husband I moved to New Jersey where I graduated from Rutgers University with a B.S. in Accounting. Along the way we were blessed with twin girls that I am currently home schooling. We escaped NJ and moved back to Texas in 2011. Being a Texas girl I had to get back and my husband, well, he's one of those who "got here as fast as he could". After a lengthy search for the right place to settle in Texas we moved to Glen Rose in 2013 so that we could attend Grace Community Church.
Claire Vallaster - Floater
"I am very happy to be working at Grace Preschool! I have always enjoyed spending time with kids and being a part of their lives. I am the oldest of eight children and have lived in Glen Rose for most of my life. I am a homeschooled Sophmore. I enjoy music and I sing on the worship team at Grace Community Church. I am thankful to be able to help children grow in the knowledge of God this year at the Preschool."

Excellent guide, I followed this and it worked perfectly. Thanks.
When trying to run the configure tool. Il try again later and report the exact message.
Excellent guide, I followed this and it worked perfectly. Thanks.
Tested! Working Perfectly!
Great Tutorial!
(btw isn't this a tutorial?)
Back|Track * Beginner :o
Looks great and all... But aren't you limited to using USB WiFi cards if you
were doing wifi pentesting?
right, there's more in BackTrack and yes you are 'limited' to usb wifi cards. for me, this works almost fine. i'm only missing the injection feature with my zd1211rw ZyXEL usb-stick (hxxp://forums.remote-exploit.org/showthread.php?t=10241&page=2).Yes, there are many more tools that do not require wifi in BackTrack.
tryed modprobe ath_pci, bud still nothing .. it shows after dmesg ath_pci tained kernel. im stuck..
does it working on your inbuild card with VMware and BT3?
nope, you need an usb-dongle for wlan stuff.
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the tutorial, it worked great for me included installing VMWare tools. There were a few issues I hit, and I thought I might as well share them and how I found a solution.
I'm using VMWare Fusion 1.1.1 on a Macbook.
fdisk runs a check on every reboot. - I fixed this by rather than creating ext2 partitions, I changed this to ext3. No more fdisk.
Vmware tools installed fine, I think the only dir change needed was for the init.d scripts. The only thing that doesn't work is the vmhgfs drivers which allows you to share files. I fixed this by;
1. Extract the VMWare tools tar.gz
2. cd ~/vmware-tools-distrib
3. untar lib/modules/source/vmhgfs.tar
4. edit vmhgfs-only/compact_slab.h
5. Change the following lines
if LINUX_VERSION_CODE <KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 22) ||defined(VMW_KMEMCR_HAS_DTOR)
if LINUX_VERSION_CODE <=KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 22) ||defined(VMW_KMEMCR_HAS_DTOR)
6. re-tar vmhgfs-only as vmhgfs.tar and replace the original in /lib/modules/source/vmhgfs.tar
7. run sudo vmware-config-tools.pl
Hope that helps

Well I got my Mika pocket holster. I called Robert an asked him if he had a pocket hlster available for a j-frame, and he said he had a gray one, and shipped it the next day.
It arrived in 2 days, and I started using it, the first day of carrying I was self concious and uncomfortable thinking everyone knew I was carrying, but the day after and since then I even forget its there. I have been carrying continuously for a week and its so comfortable, I just wonder why i didnt get this set up before. The holster fits my pocket perfect, and doesnt move around, stays in place when you draw, and the craftsmanship is really good.
I have no other pocket holsters to compare it to, but I think it'll be hard to find another holster that will match it. I rate it at 10 out of 10.
By the way I carry a M&P 340.

What a great day it's been today. I woke up on Mommy and Daddy's bed I cuddled with Daddy until he woke up. Then Daddy fed us and we all played outside. Mommy came home early and played fetch with us and guess what I'm finally faster then my sister now haha!! Then Mommy gave me treat when I would sit. She is trying to teach me sign language because I am going deaf. I don't want Mommy to worry but I think she is. Then I sat on my pillow beside Mommy while my big brother took a nap (he takes alot of those I think we make him tired) and my sister was looking for a toy. I'm going to play outside before it gets to dark and then maybe Mommy and Daddy will let me sleep with them again.
Last night it was dark but I could see mommy and I think she is lonely. I watched her for a bit she just laid there making a funny noise. I worried that if I jump up my sister would follow but Mommy might need me. I jumped up and gave her a kiss so she wouldn't be lonely anymore. My sissy saw me jump and she came running to help mommy too! Sissy gave mommy kisses too. Mommy and Daddy were not happy even though we was trying to help. Daddy made me go back to my bed but an hour later mommy looked lonely again....

Letters written by George Wolfe Bruce in 1853 and 1854 to his sisters and mother while traveling on business through Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama, and Florida, and along the Mississippi River and Chattahoochee River, possibly checking on accounts for his father's company. The letters describe the difficulties of traveling in the region; a trip on the steamship Eclipse; the southern landscape; town features and townspeople's customs; and the quality of lodgings, including judgments on proprietors and staff. Bruce also discussed witnessing a slave auction in Abbeville, Ala., and reflected on the effects of slavery on slaves. Also included is Bruce's calling card.

Intermediate Cost Proposal Workshop
This 2-day workshop is designed to give participants the basic skills necessary to create comprehensive and competitive Cost-Plus bids for government contracts. This is a mid-level course which focuses on the skills and strategies necessary to complete more advanced proposals.
Why is This Seminar Different?
In this hands-on seminar, participants will actually develop a response to a Government Request for Proposal (RFP). Hands-on means the participant will review a sample Cost-Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) RFP, develop labor rates, incorporate subcontractor proposals, develop indirect rates, create basis of estimates (BOEs), discuss what will go in the narrative, and prepare the audit file. The final product of the course is a completed Government cost model.
Most pricing seminars focus solely on the structural mechanics of building a cost proposal, omitting discussions on important factors that are frequently encountered during the pricing process. This seminar goes beyond these basic pricing steps to give attendees a wider understanding of the entire proposal process as well as post award contract performance. Participants who complete the seminar will not only gain the knowledge needed to build cost models, but also an understanding of some of the critical issues specific to Cost-Plus vehicles.
Who Should Attend?
This course was designed for Pricing Analysts, Accountants, Contracts, Program Mangers, and Business Development Professionals. Pricing Analysts and Accountants will benefit from the hands on direction for developing proposals. Contracts, Program Managers, and Business Development Professionals will benefit from a greater understanding of the requirements/constraints/opportunities of Cost Volume development. This is a mid-level course focused on cost-type proposals. Attendees are expected to have some proposal experience and solid Excel skills, although not necessarily advanced.
Why Should You Attend?
Responding to a Government RFP requires a significant amount of time and resources. Even if your company has the best solution for the Government, simple mistakes in pricing a proposal can cost your company the win. Or your company could win the contract but find after award that it is losing money because of mistakes made in the pricing response. Becoming an expert at responding to Government procurements takes many years. However, this course can give you the foundation to reduce the learning curve dramatically.
What to Bring:
- A laptop with Office 2007 (or later).
- Before arriving at the course, become familiar with the following excel topics: (1) Absolute and Relative Cell References (anchoring), (2) ROUND function, (3) IF function, (4) PASTE SPECIAL options, and (5) DATA VALIDATION. If you are not familiar with any of these topics, Excel "Help" will prepare you for the class.
Workshop Description:
The course follows a typical cost proposal from the release of a Request for Proposal (RFP) to submission, focusing on the unique aspects of this contract type. In addition, the course provides insight to indirect rate development, subcontractor strategies, and other mid-level analysis.
The two-day workshop will feature a series of lectures, each followed by individual reinforcement exercises. Participants will need to be familiar with Microsoft Word and have a solid base with Microsoft Excel.

Just like toxins in your air, water, or food, toxins in the people around you can cause serious harm--but they don't come with a warning label. Here's a rundown of what to look out for so you can keep yourself safe.
According to a study conducted by the American Institute of Stress, a
great majority of Americans (77%) experience the physical symptoms of
stress while 73% experience its psychological symptoms on a regular
basis. But research shows that eating the right kinds of foods can calm your nerves and reduce your stress levels.
Here are some simple and budget-friendly ways that can serve as good starting points if you want to start your own detox regimen.
Technology is playing an increasingly important role in all aspects of
our lives. Perhaps no development is as exciting as the potential to
harness the power of modern technologies to manage your own health. Find out the basics of what you need to know to get started down the digital path to a healthier lifestyle.
There is a new wave of technology that is designed to help you sleep better. Consider these new apps for a better, more restive sleep.
Give your metabolism a boost, get into shape and burn 100 calories just by incorporating some simple activities into your daily routine.
Construction, transportation and protective service jobs are some of the most dangerous. They take both mental and physical health tolls.
Obesity is becoming one of the leading health concerns for people all over the world. Research suggests that it can also cause cancer.
According to recent research, there is a great possibility that a good neighborhood can do wonders for your heart.
It's worth giving one of these apps a try, since engaging in various types of new and cognitively demanding tasks is good for the brain (plus, it's fun!).

Arcana launches SteamPunk Originals imprint at SDCC 2012!
VANCOUVER (July 2, 2012) – Arcana Comics is proud to announce a new line of comic books, which will be debuting at SDCC 2012 – SteamPunk Originals!
SteamPunk Originals is set to release several new SteamPunk books in the coming year, but it all starts at SDCC 2012 with John Henry: The Steam Age SDCC Exclusive Preview Book. Featuring the first chapter from the upcoming mini-series with an exclusive cover and bonus content, this one is sure to sell out quickly, so don't forget to pick up a copy at Booth 2415 at SDCC!
Written and drawn by Dwayne Harris (AMNESIA), John Henry: The Steam Age, tells the story of John Henry you DON'T know about…
Below is a description of the book, plus some preview pages.
TITLE: John Henry: The Steam Age SDCC Exclusive Preview Book
BOOTH: Arcana Comics 2415
DESCRIPTION: John Henry, a former slave, wasn't about to let some new-fangled steam hammer replace his ability to earn an honest wage as a steel driving man. He'd beat that machine, or die with his hammer in his hand. We all know the outcome of that legendary contest. In this alternate history, however, John doesn't die in his heroic effort, but instead slips into a coma, only to awaken to his worst nightmare. A robotic uprising has occurred, and a new age has dawned – The Steam Age. Now, the only thing that can free the human race from the very machines they've created is John and his hammer. "John Henry: The Steam Age" is an exciting re-imagining of American folk hero John Henry in a SteamPunk setting.
