Hello Craftsy Folks!
I recently attended Stitches East in Hartford, CT (you may have seen the Craftsy blog post by Rebecca). It's an event that I have always wanted to attend and was thrilled at the opportunity! My co-workers Emma, Rebecca and Karleen were also in attendance. We had a great time meeting our customers and hearing about their experiences with Craftsy. As a special treat, we also visited with the instructors and vendors that we don't see on a day-to-day basis. I met some wonderful and super-crafty people. It was an experience I won't soon forget.
One thing that I love so much about crochet and other crafts is that it connects me to the past in a unique way. Knowing that I am working with hooks (or needles, for you knitters!) and yarn in a way that people have been doing for thousands of years is profound. It connects all of us. I heard some great stories at Stitches, but there were three women whose stories really touched me.
Noelle is a native New Yorker who is a life-long knitter and crocheter. She sat down in the Craftsy booth to watch Ragga Eiriksdottir's Lopi Sweater demo and we began to chat. She told me that she taught herself to crochet when she was nine years old. Her mother would give her a dime to buy ice cream and she would buy a pickle instead because it cost a few cents less. She would then save those pennies until she had enough to purchase a crochet hook, which sold for ten cents at the time. Noelle would then visit the local baker who gave her baker's twine and she would crochet doilies with it. Her mother was non-to-pleased with her new found hobby. She felt Noelle was too skinny and the extra pennies for the ice cream were worth it. I love how determined and disciplined she was as a young girl to pursue her passion!
Linda is a lovely woman I met while chatting with Laurel and John Murphy in the HandKnitting.com booth. Linda is also a life-long knitter who prides herself on being able to catch mistakes in difficult knitting patterns. She has personally corrected several well-known designer's patterns. She also owns a company called "Hand-Knit With Love" that makes baby blankets, afghans, shawls and more. Look her up if you need a beautiful hand-knit item or a tech editor.
At the Student Banquet, I was fortunate to be seated next to Diana Baber who runs the registration desk at XRX. What a charming, brilliant and sweet woman! When she was a girl she saved her babysitting money to buy enough Red Heart Yarn to make her first knitting project- a sweater! What a brave soul. It's no wonder she later became the president of the Atlanta Knitting Guild. Diana isn't the only person in her family that knits, either. Her grandmother knit socks for soldiers in WWI and received a certificate of thanks from the US Government, which Diana still has. Thank you ladies for sharing your great stories with me. You were one of the highlights of my trip.
They very best part of Stitches for me was getting to take my first crochet class ever! Like a lot of crocheters and knitters, I am self-taught. I had a bit of help from several wonderful and patient women when I was beginning, but I've never taken a formal class. I was so thrilled to see that Ragga was teaching a few Tunisian Crochet classes. I've been completely obsessed with Tunisian Crochet for a couple of years now, but again, I taught myself. It was wonderful to get some great tips and tricks from one of the world's greatest Tunisian crocheters (and knitters, of course). Not only is she knowledgeable, but she is a very sweet and funny woman. I posted a photo of the wrist warmer we made in a photo at the end of the blog. I am so grateful to have met her and sat in on her class (thanks Benjamin Levisay!). If you ever have the chance, I would encourage you to take a class from her. I think there may be one on Craftsy. If you can imagine. *wink wink*
Below are some snapshots from the show. It would take me a very long time to thank and mention all of the neat people I met at Stitches, but hopefully you can tell what a fun time we all had from the photos:
(Clockwise from top left) Me and the Craftsy Girls wishing everyone a happy Yarn Day (photo taken by Jamie from the Craft Yarn Council), Craftsy Instructors Marly Bird and Gwen Bortner, Benjamin Levisay and Jeannie Randolph of Fiesta yarns, Ragga's top-down Lopi Sweater demo.
Michelle and Marcy from Skacel, Erlinda from Cascade, Katie (my super-fab sales rep) and Mary Catherine from Universal Yarns, Amy from Fiesta Yarns with famed author, crocheter, knitter and Craftsy instructor, Kristen Omdahl.
The Kollage booth, The ladies from Jimmy Beans Wool, the Louet booth with the gorgeous jacket and dress featured in the fashion show (they let me wear the jacket on Saturday- thanks, Louet!!!), The Fiesta booth.
The Isager booth, The Craftsy booth, lovely Emma talking to one of our booth's visitors, our table at the Student Banquet, we were seated with Malbrigo, Twisted Sisters and Diana Baber.
Here's me with Tobias from Malabrigo (I'm wearing another sweater from Louet), Angela and The Crochet Dude- Drew Emborsky, Benjamin Levisay and Lily Chin in her amazing Tunisian crocheted referee's outfit, The Crochet Dude's new and fantastic Decades Collection Yarn.
I found some great stuff at the show, too: Jojoland Harmony Lace Yarn, a cute calendar and Christmas cards from Thomas Joseph (I can't remember which booth I got this from, sorry!), a wonderful project bag from Jessica Dekker Designs, and there's the wrist warmer from Ragga's class made with Blue Sky Alpaca's Organic Cotton and Lopi yarns. I immediately started a cowl with the Noro Silk Garden I scored, and I couldn't resist the hot Breast Cancer Awareness colorway in Fiesta Yarns' Ballerina lace. Next time I'm bringing a bigger suitcase!
Thanks again to Benjamin Levisay and his team at XRX Books/Knitting Universe for putting together such a great show! I wish I was able to tell you about every second of it. We had a wonderful time. I would encourage all of you to get to a Stitches near you soon! Thanks for reading!

Is 3-D Secure Insecure?
Posted by John Kindervag on February 1, 2010

- 0 comments
Security Researchers in the UK say that the 3-D Secure (3DS) system for credit card authorization, a protocol that was "developed by Visa to improve the security of Internet payments," has significant security weaknesses. It is used by both of the ginormous card brands, known as "Verified by Visa" and "MasterCard SecureCode."
This could be a big deal.
In a recent paper, the researcher calls out 3-D Secure as a security failure that was pushed on consumers by financially incentivized merchants because, "its use is encouraged by contractual terms on liability: merchants who adopt 3DS have reduced liability for disputed transactions. Previous single sign-on schemes lacked liability agreements, which hampered their take-up."
According to the authors:
"3-D Secure has lousy technology, but got the economics right (at least for banks and merchants); it now boasts hundreds of millions of accounts. We suggest a path towards more robust authentication that is technologically sound and where the economics would work for banks, merchants, and customers - given a gentle regulatory nudge."
The results of this research could prove devastating to both the eCommerce and the credit credit card industries as the growth in eCommerce is the result of the very fact that consumers are not liable for fraudulent transactions. Cybercriminals who exploit the 3-D Secure protocol could leave innumerable consumers financially liable for their crimes. If consumers have increased liability, will they still use their credit cards as cavalierly as they do today? Most consumers are teetering on the hairy edge of confidence in credit card security anyway and the potential threat of owing lots of money to merchants for things they didn't buy could cause consumers to limit their credit card usage. The researcher includes a dire prediction:
"But 3DS ignores the other lessons learnt from earlier systems. The result is that customers receive little benefit in security, while suffering a huge increase in their liability for fraud. They are also trained in unsafe behaviour online. Now our experience in recent years is that when attacks can be profitably industrialised, they will be; the growth of man-in-the-middle attacks and malware will ensure that 3DS is not sustainable in its present form."
While a potential solution is proposed, and you can be certain that many more folks will weigh in on this topic before it is resolved, it may leave consumers in the lurch while the merits of various systems are endlessly debated.
"What should be done technically? We believe that single sign-on is the wrong model. What's needed is transaction authentication. The system should ask the customer, "You're about to pay $X to merchant Y. If this is OK, enter the auth code."
Bottom Line: Visa and MasterCard need to get in front of this issue immediately before consumers are scared away from using credit cards or governments get involved:
"Visa and MasterCard have managed to get 3DS deployed by arranging so that merchants and banks benefit (at least in the short term) while consumers lose out. What's needed now is for regulators to intervene on behalf of the consumer."
Remember, Security Pros, you are also consumers! Will this research make you think twice about buying something online using 3-D Secure? Does it affect your thoughts about using credit cards at all? We'd like to know.

Think software-defined networking will change the industry? You're thinking way too small, according to Cisco CEO John Chambers. In Cisco's strategy, SDN is just a single element in a holistic architecture that brings intelligence, programmability and application awareness to every facet of your infrastructure and spans the data center to the cloud. In this installment of the IDG Enterprise CEO Interview Series, Chambers spoke with Chief Content Officer John Gallant about the power of Cisco's Unified Framework and how delivering on that vision could make Cisco the number one IT company overall. No small ambition there.
Chambers also explained the role the much-talked about spin-in venture Insieme plays in that strategy and why competitors will struggle to keep up with Cisco's architectural play. He also talked about what IT leaders should be doing to drive the Internet of Everything and why customers should expect big changes in the network and IT vendor landscape in the years ahead.
What's your feeling about the overall economic state of IT in the U.S. right now?

Increase Your Team's Productivity – It's FRE(E)
Margaret Greenberg and Senia Maymin are the authors of the book Profit From the Positive. Articles written jointly by Margaret and Senia are here.
Margaret Greenberg, MAPP '06, founded The Greenberg Group, an organizational effectiveness consulting practice, in 1997. Margaret specializes in coaching executives and their teams using a strengths-based approach. Full bio. Her solo articles are here.
Senia Maymin, MAPP '06 is an executive coach to entrepreneurs and CEOs. Her PhD is in organizational behavior from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Full bio. Her solo articles are here, and her articles with Kathryn Britton are here.
What would it mean for your business if you could improve productivity by 30%? Would it impact your speed to market? Would it reduce your costs? Would it increase your sales? Would it improve your ability to serve customers? You decide. Now imagine you could achieve these productivity gains without ever having to spend a dime. Also imagine that this productivity improvement is so simple that virtually every manager could implement it starting today – no costly training or certification programs required. Would you try it? Of course you would – you'd be crazy not to.
So what is it? It's "FRE(E) – the Frequent Recognition & Encouragement" effect.© And, of course, it's free. FRE(E) is a concept we've developed for our coaching and consulting practices.
In a research study Margaret Greenberg conducted in 2006 with a fellow University of Pennsylvania colleague and PPND author, Dana Arakawa, Margaret and Dana found that managers who provided frequent recognition and encouragement saw an increase in productivity of 31%. Employees were asked a series of statements such as "My project manager recognizes my accomplishments regularly" and follow-up questions such as "How frequently and in what ways does your project manager offer encouragement and/or recognize accomplishments?" Their answers to these and other questions were then compared to the results of the projects they worked on. Did these projects meet or exceed budget, schedule and quality standards?
What Margaret and Dana found was managers who provided FRE(E) had significantly higher project performance. Specifically, managers who scored in the top FRE(E) quartile achieved an average project performance score of 17.75 (out of a 20-point scale), while those managers who scored in the bottom FRE(E) quartile achieved only an average project performance score of 11.55. (See the Gallup Management Journal coverage of this study here and here, or download the full study here).
Why Doesn't Everyone Use FRE(E)?
So why don't more managers tap into this simple, yet powerful way to improve productivity? First, Lean Six Sigma and other process-related productivity tools have taught us that to improve productivity we must analyze, measure, and evaluate the work. We come to believe that nothing is simple. While we are certainly advocates of improving work processes, we also know that you can improve productivity by focusing on the worker by giving FRE(E).
In our coaching and consulting practices we have discovered four other reasons managers choose not to offer FRE(E) – all of which center around personal biases:
- "I'm too busy." Some managers get so caught up in the day-to-day work that they believe they don't have time to say "thank you".
- "That's what they get paid to do." Some managers believe that the paychecks employees receive are enough to keep them engaged and motivated to perform what's expected.
- "It's too early to celebrate – we haven't completely implemented this yet." Some managers believe they must wait until the end of a project before they can provide recognition because who knows what could go wrong.
- "I don't like or need encouragement to do my job." Finally, some managers say they personally don't like to receive recognition and encouragement from their managers and then assume their employees feel the same.
In the same 2006 research study, Margaret and Dana asked employees to rate the statement "My Project Manager regularly provides encouragement to me." Out of the 79 employees who responded to that statement, only 16% "agreed a lot" while another 24% "agreed a little." Sadly, that's less than half of the employees surveyed!
How Do I Recognize FRE(E)?What does FRE(E) look like? Just like goals, frequent recognition and encouragement needs to be specific. In addition, FRE(E) needs to be genuine. Just saying "nice job" is not enough and can even be perceived as insincere (as Doug Turner describes). In fact, that's why FRE(E) often gets short shrift because the employee is left feeling like his manager really doesn't know what it took to get the job done. In the business world we rarely use the term "praise" when we talk about providing positive feedback to employees. However, there are findings from positive psychology research on praise that business leaders need to know. Research studies by Dr. Carol Dweck from Stanford University have found that process praise is more effective than person praise (for more detail about process praise, see these past PPND articles by Nicholas Hall, Kathryn Britton, Bridget Grenville-Cleave, and Gloria Park).
Be specific. Acknowledge exactly what your employee did – the process – to make that customer happy or meet that deadline. And be genuine: that means providing eye contact if you are giving the feedback in person. But what if your employee is working remotely? How do you convey your sincerity over the phone? Stop multi-tasking. Stop whatever else you're doing (yes, turn away from your computer screen) and focus exclusively on the person at the other end of your phone. When you're really present, your sincerity will come right through those phone lines.

"I went home at 10 o'clock. My son closed the restaurant at 11," reports co-owner Darshan Singh. "No one was in there."
Sirens wailed at 6:25 a.m. as multiple agencies responded to calls. As of 9:45 a.m. Saturday, the cause and extent of the damage was yet to be determined. Singh was not permitted to enter the building this morning. Police and firefighters would not share any more information, but Singh said no source for the smoke has been determined.
Short Order will report on the progress of the investigation as information becomes available.

Nevertheless my question is does anyone know if the cabin filter can be replaced thru the engine compartment when I am replacing the Blower Motor? Sounds like a good opportunity if possible. Lastly concerning the Resistor I have seen threads out here where some 95' 540i's do or do not have the Blade-Type installed. On some websites when attempting to order a Resistor, the site would lead me either or both types. Thanks in advance for your help.
No, the cabin filter must be accessed the good ol fashioned way through the glovebox.

Your art is extremly inspiring.
Great work
I like your cartoons, they portray the turth. I especially like your drawings on the hypocricy of my "Turkish" government. I mostly see your works on Halk Haber website. And sadly, blinded by fascism, the collusion of parties, etc. not everyone in Turkey sees and understands it as you do. Maybe they need to look at things as an "outsider" too? Anyway, thanks again. Please keep up your good work.
Great pics. We cannot remain silent on Israeli (or whichever) terror.
why don't those arabs understand that you can't read arabic comments? and you're doing a great job showing the truth to the world. keep up the great work
Though I don't really agree with your message, you are a really good political cartoonist.
Today i saw your new thing showing a golden dawn member and a cop stabbing democracy.
Thank you sir.That is exactly what is happening in Greece.

Political Correctness has now "evolved" into Political Cowardice.
This is an excellent opportunity to examine why you carry a weapon. When I got involved again in shooting and got my CCW, my primary purpose was to protect my wife and myself from thugs and assorted low lifes that prey on the sheep. However, I was also very aware that we live in strange times and that someday I might encounter terrorist acts being carried out. While I'm sure that since I'm not a combat veteran, I might be a bit shaky about facing an armed terrorist (or madman in a mall), I do consider myself a citizen militiaman of sorts and would not hesitate to make the effort. What is the second amendment all about if we are not willing to use force of arms to defend our homeland? My homeland is anywhere that I'm at doing whatever I do. That means the grocery store, the mall, the bowling alley, whatever. Legal consequenceas be damned. If some creep is killing people I feel obligated to shoot him or them. That's why I carry. That's what it means to have a second amendment right to bear arms. It is for ordinary citizens to be able to stop the creeps with deadly force.
I didn't mean to rant, but this posting gave me a good opportunity to examine my own feelings. I fault no-one for their decisions, but this is how I feel.
older gunner,
It's good to know there's someone else that thinks along the same lines. Its even better when I see that you are located close by!
The position you articulated so well does NOT put you (or me,) in the "LEO-wannabe," "mall ninja," or "vigilante" class, either. We are not going out looking for a wrong to right, a battle to be fought, or a life to be saved.
I carry a weapon as my own personal, last line of defense. But I cannot and will not shirk my responsibility to my fellow man by not coming to the aid of another because of a self-imposed "rule" of "me and mine ONLY," or worse yet, fear of a lawyer.
I have to live with the decisions I make.
Like it or not, we are a part of a society. We have to look out for ourselves, but if we don't look out after others when we have the means and ability to do so, then we are turning our backs on society.
The "blissninny" is on one extreme, sitting in a circle, holding hands and chanting, "Can't we all just get along?" Meanwhile, the wolves surround that circle, selecting their next meal.
On the other extreme, are those who feel every man is an island. They watch the wolves circling the sheep, thinking "They're not after me, it's not my problem."
Political Correctness has now "evolved" into Political Cowardice.
What an excellent thread.
I think mindset is, by far, the most important thing to keep you and your loved ones alive. And we all need to reevaluate it often.
Just a couple of observations: Like probably 95% of us here, I have not faced the elephant and until I am forced into that situation I try to stay away from definitive statements of what I will or will not do. I only know what I hope I would do given a certain set of circumstances, what I train to do. But no two situations are alike.
You'll have the rest of your life to evaluate a response (or non-response) that you had to determine in just a couple of seconds.
Authorities will put the incident under a microscope and realistically defense lawyers will smell blood in the water.
Does this weigh in on your decision to "take the shot"? Of course it does. Should it paralize you into not taking a justified action? I would certainly hope not.
As to the two men who were packing at the mall: I can only speculate about the first from sparse information and, sadly, the second paid with his life. It's quite possible he would have been shot in any circumstance but the potential to drop the bad guy was evidently there.
It seems that many people are concerned with hitting bystanders. To my mind, in the worst case and if the BG is already firing, hitting one or two bystanders is much less damage than the BG is going to cause if you let him continue.
"I am a Soldier. I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight." GEN George S. Patton, Jr.
When I was younger, and way before 9/11, my Dad would always say that if he was ever hijacked in a plane, he would rather die trying to take out the hijackers than live with the unknown of what they might do to him as a hostage.
When I was younger, I thought he was just showing off some bravado and that I'd rather stay alive than take a chance trying to attack several heavily armed terrorists. My father served in WWII, but never fired a gun after the war. When I started buying guns, he didn't understand why I wanted to.
Then came 9/11 and the reality that there are people who will kill no matter what, and my thinking changed. I decided on that day, that if I am ever in a situation where I can stop a threat, or die trying, then I will. That's one reason why I got my CCW. Yes, it's a last line of defense for me and my family. But it can also stop a threat to others. I hope that I never have to use my gun, but if I were in that mall and saw the BG killing others, I would have acted.
I have had a concealed carry permit for 32 years as a civilian....in that time I have pulled it once and one reason I didn't shoot was fear of legal ramifications (I was in the program to be a pilot in the Marines at the time) and I was pretty rattled. This was a case where I came to the assistance of 2 girls swimming in a popular abandoned quarry who where probably about to be raped by 3 wana-be Hell's Angles. I had one other occasion to reveal the fact I was carrying to settle down a potentially bad situation.
I also rode on patrol with a sheriffs deputy buddy of mine for several years and during that time I had 8 maybe 12 men at gun point and very nearly shot one. It was out away from any other people, I was behind cover and only my confidence in my ability to shoot saved his life by giving him enough time to come to his scenes. The short of it is I have faced the situation a few times, and like buck fever when deer hunting, the first time can really rattle your mind. After a couple encounters you learn how to control it. I had been a USPIC shooter for several years before I started riding on patrol and still that first time I had to draw on a man I could hardly think straight, the last time I was so cold it scared me a little when I thought back on it. So yes, if I am in a situation where a BG is shooting I WILL take him out, I have faced the situation before, I am sure I will be in control and I could not live with myself if I just stood by.
I think Rock hit the nail on the head. Hopefully, the first thing ANYONE does before deciding to CCW is to honestly examine themselves and make sure they have what it takes to act if the situation warrants. As we all know, a gun is no good without the will to us it.Originally Posted by rocky

<----My LT was unhappy that I did not have my PASS-Tag at that fire. But I found the body so he said he would overlook it. :)
I think something that can help individuals attempting to deal with shoot/don't shoot situations, is great gobs of mental conditioning....what I refer to as ...what if....and I believe it is important to get in the habit this type of mental conditioning. To be sure, when it may be time to shoot, you do not generally have much time to mentally evaluate the situation to consider IF you should shoot. For the most part, that needs to be done before hand...to the greatest extent possible. If such a time should come that you must/will shoot, there generally is little time for additional evaluation since you must be:
1. Trained for stress fire
2. Mentally conditioned to focus and carry out the act such, that you do not simply fail.
Stress fire training can be had by competition and also by finding a training partner, willing to help train you to stress fire practice/train.
Mental conditioning for the average guy, could simply be working through mental scenario's that go from beginning....to final conclusion, and the mental training is the basis for being able to complete the scenerio in the first place. In your mental training, you must be as detailed and realistic as possible envisioning various complete circumstances and visualizing what you would see, how you would move, what cover you might take, what the sounds would be like....what dealing with a threat moving would be like, what the images would look like ...just a ton of things like that.
It's fine to pre commit yourself to assist others, or not as you might see fit, but it's quite another to actually prepare yourself such that you stand the best chance possible of actually saving a life....yours or someone else.
In this vain, I find it completely understandable that a individual even though packing concealed, is simply not prepared to assist at the moment such might be required. If you do not mentally train, and do not physically prepare (become capable in stress fire)...it is completely possible that some would simply not act, even though their normal best intention would be to do otherwise.
It's not just that you might freeze up, it's also a matter of being mentally overwhelmed and ill prepared....and suddenly realizing it.
Best intentions not withstanding, you owe it to yourself and those you believe you may be compelled to protect....to bring yourself to the point where you are really confident and capable such that should you choose to act.....that you are capable and clear thinking enough to get the job done as safely as possible.
It is a great responsibility, and a great privilege we have and we owe it to ourselves and others, to be at our very best, should we choose to carry concealed.
Very well put Paul. The mind, for most intents and purposes, does not know the difference between "dream" and reality. It's the conscious mind only that knows the difference. I have said before here that conditioning yourself mentally by going over scenarios in your head can be a great benefit. I do this regularly during the day and every single night before I nod off to sleep. I run scenarios. I pick something or someplace I had been during the day and throw a scenario at it. I work it out in as many ways I can think of. If I ever have to face the music for real, I KNOW I'll be able to react in a positive, decisive manner because I have probably already seen "it" many times already. Menatl conditioning is the key I believe.Originally Posted by ppro
I have seen hundreds, thousands of fires in my short time as a career firefighter. I have only been in 4 real fires. I have had my SCBA fail in every way, shape, and form I can possibly imagine hundreds of times in hundreds of places. I have never had one fail for real. But I am completely comfortable walking into a 1000 degree structure fire, not being able to see, at 2:30 in the morning, on the hottest day in August/coldest day in January, with only my irons, my partner, my training, and my knowledge. I'm comfortable only because....
I've already been there.

<----My LT was unhappy that I did not have my PASS-Tag at that fire. But I found the body so he said he would overlook it. :)
I've never been in such a situation involvings guns.
I have been in unarmed situations where I've intervened. I really cannot say what I would or wouldn't do while sitting safely in my chair but I do hope that I do the right thing as the situation warrants if God forbid it ever happens.

The suggestions regarding mental conditioning are sound tested methods to assist in preparing you and are normally used in conjunction with actual physical training to obtain the best result.
Those of us who have faced these threats feel fairly comfortable making these types of suggestions....while sitting in our chair....but I can even more comfortably say, that to simply hope...is to hope against fate and the outcome becomes even less predictable than it would normally be as a result of your best efforts to reasonably prepare yourself.
Some training is better than none.....and the more effort you put into it will generally result in a more predictable outcome.
I would feel badly if I did not at least mention some of this, and as a result you were less aware, and subsequently less prepared...ending up in a situation that you had no idea you would likely not survive......for lack of preparation, practice, and some training.
kind regards
Thank you for your input.
I do try everyday to mentally prepare, I also try to train as often as poss, drawing, sight pics, etc and practice at least once per week. I also plan on at least 1 tactical training class this spring or summer. I always carry and have been involved with firearms since an early age. Pistols, CCW and the responsabilitie that go along with these is relatively new to me (almost 3 months) so I am self concious and awkward at this point. Having been a good shot with rifle I was surprised when I recently took up handguns at how poorly I shot. I am improving and did manage this past weekend to put every shot into a 5" target at 10 yards. As unimpressive as that might be it is better than when I started and I am working for better grouping before moving out to 15 yards. I usually have a spotter and get advice from guys on our little home built range who are far more experienced. As soon as I get to be consistant at 25 yards I will take a tactical class. I would feel little remorse at dropping a BG who was intent on causing serious harm to others, my main concern at this point is concern about others with my limited skills.
I hope foremost never to have to be in that type of situation and secondly to be able to rise to the occasion if need be. I am working toward that goal.
A point of interest to me and maybe someone can explain this: I can hit a man sized target (no shot group sizes, just hit the target) with good regularity at rifle ranges (100 yards) using combat sights after spotting my first round hit but had more difficulty initially shooting at the closer ranges.
My goal is reliable 5" accuracy at 50 yards and I have a ways to go for that.
No one here would want me to have to try dropping a BG with my current skill level if your loved ones were near.
I will continue praying that I never have to shoot another person and practicing in case I do.
I guess for me it all depends on the situation. If I were in the mall by myself I would have to draw and fire. If I were there with wife and kids or parents or just kids, then it is priority one to get them out of there. I think all those stores have a back entrance so I would take them out that way. The question then arises once out do you go back in?

Canada exacts C$6.7 billion from public retirees for health costs
By Randall Palmer
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Retired federal workers will pay more of their supplemental health costs under an agreement with the Canadian government intended to align the public sector with the private sector, Treasury Board President Tony Clement said on Wednesday.
Retirees' contributions will rise to 50 percent of the cost of their health plan from 25 percent now. The supplement plan pays for drugs, eye-glasses and other items not covered by the general medical care plan that is free for all Canadians. Low-income pensioners will not be affected.
The government will also require six years of employment, instead of two, to be eligible.
The new deal is projected to save C$6.7 billion ($6.0 billion) over six years, less than the C$7.4 billion flagged in the Conservative government's February 11 budget, but it avoids the threat of a court challenge if Ottawa had tried to impose the changes through legislation.
"Now we have zero legal risk," Clement told Reuters.
"I'm quite convinced that this in total puts our books in a better fiscal light... Those savings are now certain. There was a low-to-medium legal risk before."
The broad lines of the changes had been announced in the federal budget, but agreement had not been reached with the unions and retirees. The package was sweetened with some modest improvements to current benefits, including eliminating a C$60 annual deductible for single individuals and C$100 for families.
The February budget charted a return to a balanced federal budget in 2015, partly through savings exacted from public sector unions. Continued...

Lefty Bloggers: Gripes About Presidential Vacations Are 'Stupid' and 'Ridiculous' and Should Stop
This week, three of the most prominent liberal bloggers agreed that when it comes to criticizing presidents of either party about their vacations, people really need to, as one of the bloggers put it, "STFU."
Do they have a point, or should the appropriateness of presidential vacations be evaluated on a POTUS-by-POTUS basis? Check out their thoughts and comment if you'd like.
On Wednesday, Paul Waldman of the American Prospect got the ball rolling (emphasis added):
There are a lot of stupid ways people attack presidents from the other party, but there can't be that many as stupid as the complaint that he takes too many vacations. Since Obama is now on Martha's Vineyard…[c]onservatives are in full on mockery mode (did you know he plays golf!!!), and the press is getting into the act as well...
…[L]iberals used to talk plenty about Bush's vacations when he was president. And it was ridiculous then too…None of the things liberals didn't like about Bush would have been improved had he spent more time toiling away in the White House. Nor would conservatives be happier with the policy choices Barack Obama makes today if he stayed away from Martha's Vineyard or didn't play golf as often.
And that's the real reason the vacation complaint is so absurd. No one—not the opposition party, and not reporters—actually believes that the quality of a presidency has anything to do with how many hours the president logs in the Oval Office.
Thursday morning, Ed Kilgore of the Washington Monthly wrote, "I'm with Paul Waldman on this one," and later remarked:
I wasn't a news cycle blogger back when George W. Bush was in office. And so I'm not real vulnerable to someone coming up with dozens of posts wherein I scolded and mocked W. for the amount of time he spent "clearing brush" down on the ranch in Crawford. But you know what? I'm willing to vicariously take on the sins of the liberal writers of the past, confess this as a bipartisan problem, and propose a bipartisan solution: a moratorium on complaints about presidential vacations.
…And as for the hackneyed idea that the president needs to "set an example" by his seriousness, I'd like to see him set an example whereby Americans began to value leisure a bit more as part of what we are all working for, and as an essential contributor to long-term stamina and perspective.
And, less than an hour after Kilgore's post, Kevin Drum of Mother Jones declared:
Yes, yes, yes: sign me up as a charter member of the movement to STFU about presidential vacations. Both sides do it. Bush got hit with criticism from Democrats. Obama gets it from Republicans. Clinton got it. Reagan got it. Fine. We're all guilty. Now let's just stop…
…No more whining about how this week—yes, this very week!—is the worst week ever in history for a vacation because the world is in crisis. You know why? Because there's always a crisis somewhere in the world.

text: I will be getting a glock 10mm for our anniversary. She was a little confused because she found a 29 for 400 (used) and I asked for a 20 but at that savings I said go for it. She still has not gotten anything because she wants to buy the 20 because it was my first choice but is the difference really that big. I do have a CWP so the 29 would be nice for that but the 20 is much better for hunting I would think. Any opinions are welcome.

I did my first Fraxel re store in January and after that had 2 more with 1,5 month interval. I think it was a good timing, cause we dont have much sun in these months. Now it is almost May and i did my last Fraxel 6 weeks ago. Later im planning to post pictures, but overall im very happy with it.
I had a bad acne scars and a bit of rosacea-pink areas on the skin. My texture was uneven with scars. I got my acne only at the age 24 because of messed up hormones. So scars were very fresh when i did fraxel procedure.
First before doing it, i cured my acne and was waiting 1 month to make sure that i dont have any spots. Then i was doing for 2 months peeling once a week as my doctor said it will help me to recover faster and better after fraxel as my skin will be prepared. I was using Wine Herbal peeling from Magira y(Israel) and i absolutely love it! After each procedures of Fraxel i didnt use any cream or soup or cleaning product-only pure water and Bepanthen cream-it is without any artificial products and can be used for small babies. And of course every day sun protection.
I used SPF 50 for 2 weeks after fraxel and SPF 30 after. But remember to renew it-if it is SPF 50-every 500 minutes and SPF 30 - every 300 minutes. I didnt go on open sun even with sun protection and when it was necessity to do it i used hats. I didnt developed any brown spots-my skin has even tone, no more pink areas, the surface of the skin improved a lot, my skin looks younger, tighter and brighter. And the most important-my scars are gone.
The only minus that i see is that im very scared to go to open sun and it is annoying to reapply sun protection every now and then. But i hope after a year i will be able to go without sun protection in winter time and to lie on open sun with sun protection in summer.
Though i wouldnt recommend this procedure to somebody who wants just to rejuvenate skin-it is very very painful, i hated recovering period and it is expensive.
but my advise to those who really want it-
1. only good doctor
2. no active acne
3. best time-winter months
4. skin preparation with peelings
5. no creams or soups after-only bepanthen
6. never forget your sun protection-even if it is only 5 minute walk and not sunny day, even when you are at home-cause you get sun from windows. ALWAYS IN DAY TIME. My doctor was very very strict about it and im very obliged to her for that.
good luck to everybody!

Proposed Modernization Project
In 2005 Chevron Products Company, a division of Chevron USA Inc. (Chevron), proposed,
and in 2008 the City approved, the Hydrogen and Energy Renewal Project (2008 Project) at the Chevron Richmond Refinery. The City of Richmond also certified the Chevron Hydrogen and Energy Renewal Project EIR, Consolidated Volume (2008 EIR) in 2008. In 2010, a court ordered that the 2008 EIR be set aside. In 2011, Chevron submitted a new application to the City for a revised project (Modernization Project or Project) that includes only two of the major components from the 2008 Project, the new hydrogen plant (now identified as the "Hydrogen Plant Replacement") and the Hydrogen Purity Improvements (now identified as the "Sulfur Removal Improvements"). Chevron has reduced the overall scope of the 2008 Project. The Modernization Project would not include the Catalytic Reformer Replacement, Power Plant Replacement, and Other New and Replacement Facilities (storage tanks, control building and central maintenance building) that were part of the 2008 Project. Note. Previous notices referred to the Modernization Project as the "Revised Energy and Hydrogen Renewal Project", "Revised Renewal Project", or �����Revised Project����� during the scoping period for this EIR.
Environmental Review
The Final EIR was released on June 9, 2014. To view the Final EIR, please click here to go to the "Project Documents" page. The public comment period on the Draft EIR closed on May 2, 2014. Draft EIR comments submitted to the City following the close of the public comment period may not be addressed in the Final EIR. The Draft EIR is available on the "Project Documents" page. The City of Richmond is the Lead Agency for the Modernization Project and is preparing a Revised Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The EIR will comply with the court decision regarding the 2008 EIR and address the reduced scope of the Modernization Project (as compared to the 2008 Project). The EIR is being prepared for the purpose of considering the issuance of a conditional use permit and design review permit for the Modernization Project. In addition to the City permits, Chevron, the project sponsor, must obtain an Authority to Construct from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) and comply with all applicable plans, rules and regulations of the BAAQMD with respect to air emissions resulting from the Modernization Project.
Education and Outreach
Apart from environmental review hearings that are part of the decision-making process, the City held public workshops and educational meetings on topics related to the Modernization Project. As part of the public review of the Draft EIR, the City held an intensive one-day review session, an evening workshop, and a Planning Commission Study Session. (See Meetings). Prior to the release of the Draft EIR, the City held five educational sessions. Four educational sessions were held in 2011 on July 25, August 22, September 29 and October 19. One session was held in 2012 on April 4. These sessions did not address the Modernization Project or the EIR, but provided basic information helpful for understanding some of the key technical topics that were likely to be included in the EIR (See Meetings).

I went to HMV today in the search of a game to keep me entertained for the afternoon or maybe a few afternoons.. Having spent about 20 minutes looking through them all with my boyfriend who knows more about games than I do, for the minute.. I finally picked one..
Bomberman Act : Zero..
To be fair I wish I hadn't bothered..
~~ Who is the game made by? ~~
The game is made by Konami.. A leading developer of games for various consoles.. The company which is the creator of games such as the 'Metal Gear Series' and 'Silent Hill Series,' is head quartered in Tokyo, where founded in 1969 it began as a jukebox rental and repair business.. Things have changed dramatically for the company..
~~ What is Bomberman Act : Zero? ~~
For those of you who know what the Bomberman concept it read down now..
For those of you who don't.. Basically Bomberman as far as I know it is a little man who goes around blowing bricks up to be the winner.. On the new Xbox 360 you can download the cartoon Bomberman which for me has always been the original, as other than the Wii version and now this it's the only thing I have played..
Act : Zero however is different.. Now you no longer are a cartoon character, but something a little more lifelike and somewhat less interesting, now though you do get to chose whether you are male or female bomber.. Which does give you a naked body for a start which is quite graphic in a sense that the female body and male for that matter have quite obvious genital areas.. Think that may be why the game is for 12+..
The power ups on this version are larger and more powerful, having a fire-up instead of blowing up 2 blocks instead of 1, blows up around 5.. So keep clear..!
~~ How about the graphics? ~~
The graphics all in all are fairly good.. Not as good as Playstation 3 obviously as that console is much newer but this still is fairly detailed considering it is mainly blowing up blocks and picking up power-ups..
The colours are especially good.. Even better on my HD television as it shows up so much brighter..
~~ How long would it last? ~~
Well essentially it can last forever until you get bored.. So the question begs to be asked - how long until you are likely to get bored of it? I don't think it would be too long.. With the Xbox Live it might be a little more fun but still it's the same game over and over depending on who you are playing against.. Still you can't even have 2 player co-op on this game..
~~ Price.. ~~
I paid £15 for this game in HMV..
You might pick it up cheaper in game station but I wouldn't bother..
~~ Overall ~~
One of the most boring games I have played recently, it has no story obviously and it seems you go no where.. Very slowly.. It does make the controller vibrate.. That is the only exciting thing about it, and even that is only moderately exciting.. If you were looking at it.. Don't bother!
Bomberman: Act Zero recreates Bomberman, keeping the fun gameplay but adding a modern look and dark storyline. Deep within an experimental underground facility, humans are imprisoned as test subjects and trained to become soldiers. Equipped with armored battle suits, the subjects must fight for survival and eliminate each other to determine who will become the Ultimate Human Weapon. As Bomberman, your objective is simple: destroy your opponents before they destroy you. Up to 8 players can engage in frantic battles for survival online through Xbox Live and earn points to become the ultimate weapon on the World Rankings.

Live 07 Apr 1976 version
[Spoken intro:] Oh, yeah. Ready, boys? Tonight and forever, here's something from Asbury Park to you with love.
One, two, three, four
Sandy, the fireworks are hailin' over Little Eden tonight
Forcin' a light into all them stoned-out faces left stranded on this fourth of July
Down in town the Circuit's full with switchblade lovers, so fast, and shiny, and sharp
Them wizards play down on Pinball Way on the boardwalk way past dark
And the boys from the casino dance with their shirts open like Latin lovers along the shore
Chasin' all them silly New York girls
Oh, Sandy, the aurora is rising behind us
The pier lights our carnival life forever
Love me tonight, 'cause I may never see you again
Whoa, Sandy, girl
Yeah, well, now the greasers, they still tramp the streets or get busted for trying to sleep on the beach all night
Them boys in their spiked high heels, ah, Sandy, their skins are so white
And me, I just got tired of hangin' in them dusty arcades, bangin' them pleasure machines
Chasin' the factory girls underneath the boardwalk, where they all promise to unsnap their jeans
You know that tilt-a-whirl way down on the south beach drag
Got on it last night and my shirt got caught
And that Joey kept me spinnin'
I didn't think I'd ever get off
Whoa, Sandy, the aurora is rising behind us
The pier lights our carnival life on the water
Running crazy 'neath the boardwalk with my old boss's daughter
He ain't my boss no more, Sandy!
Now, Sandy, I guess the angels have lost their desire for us
Yeah, I spoke to 'em just last night and they said they won't set themselves on fire for us anymore
Every summer when the weather gets hot, they ride that crazy road down from heaven, on their Harleys they come and they go
You see 'em dressed like stars in all the cheap little seashore bars
And parked with their babies out on the Kokomo
Did you hear the cops finally busted Madame Marie for tellin' fortunes better than they do
This boardwalk life for me is through
You know, you ought to quit this scene too
Oh, Sandy, the aurora is rising behind us
The pier lights our carnival life forever
Love me tonight and I promise... I promise there'll be no promises
Yeah, hey, hey, Sandy, girl
Whoa, oh, oh
How 'bout it?
The above lyrics are for the live 07 Apr 1976 performance of 4TH OF JULY, ASBURY PARK (SANDY) at Allen Theatre in Cleveland, OH, during the so-called Chicken Scratch Tour. The song was played in a full-band arrangement.
This tour (35 know dates, March to May 1976) was nicknamed the "Chicken Scratch Tour" by the road crew because of the high proportion of secondary markets in the South.
Thanks Jake (ol'catfishinthelake at BTX and Greasy Lake) for the lyrics help.

Cirkus Cirkör
Directed by Tilde Björfors
An arresting tableau of theatrics passes from shadows into light
in Wear it like a crown, the latest triumph from Sweden's
Cirkus Cirkör (Inside Out, 2009 Next Wave Festival).
Consisting of six interlocking stories of solitary dreamers who
yearn to connect with the world by way of juggling, knife-throwing,
daredevil acrobatics, dance, and mime, Cirkus Cirkör rekindles the
narrative possibilities of traditional vaudeville while leaping
forward with a new circus aesthetic.
Anchored by the lush folk-inflected chamber pop of Norwegian chanteuse Rebekka Karijord, Wear it like a crown explores a world in which magic and redemption are possible.
Music and lyrics by Rebekka Karijord
Set design by creative team and ensemble
Costume design by Anna Bonnevier
Lighting design by Ulf Englund

Critic ReviewsMobyRanks are listed below. You can read here for more information about MobyRank.
DOSThe Freehare (2006)
You can play with the joystick or keyboard and enjoy this beautifully drawn colourful EGA adventure with oriental sounds. Unfortunately the game has no save feature, which is a real shame and bother. Still this game offers a lot of fun and gaming pleasures, so I hope you will get drawn into it so much, you won't want to finish it or even pause. Definitely worth at least 4½ carrots (round it up or down, it's up to you).
Commodore 64The Games Machine (UK) (Nov, 1988)
Graphically the game is very good indeed, while playability is just as good as on the Atari ST (if not better since the genie offers an extra life as a wish). While the strategy and arcade scenes are limited, and repetitiveness a real danger, this is an attractive and enjoyable game.
Atari STThe Games Machine (UK) (Nov, 1988)
Only with a megabyte of RAM does it become acceptable, allowing most of the game to be resident in memory. For people blessed with such machines the game becomes compulsive, with very attractive if not astounding graphics, an interesting atmosphere and good sub-games. Nevertheless dying if very easy, forcing a painfully repetitive retracing of earlier moves. [1040ST]
AmigaComputer and Video Games (CVG) (Jul, 1987)
Not bad, although not as good as Defender of the Crown. Oh, yes Mindscape quote the word 'Adult entertainment' more than once in the instructions. As this cannot apply to Sindbad, does this mean we will seeing 'X' cert Cinemaware products. We live in hope...
AmigaCommodore User (Apr, 1987)
Overall, Sinbad and the Throne of the Falcon is one of the best games yet produced for the Amiga, it may not quite be the prettiest, but it has a great deal of depth, and should keep most gamesplayers happy for many hours. Nevertheless, it's still clear there's plenty of room in the Amiga yet.
DOSThe Games Machine (UK) (Jun, 1989)
A right pain to play on the Atari ST - juggling disks every two seconds become commonplace, it's better news for PC owners with only two disks which don't have to be swapped too often. Two slight niggles though: the key functions are a little sluggish (especially on the shipwreck sub-game), and Cinemaware don't appear to know the difference between a centaur and a minotaur. Oh well.
AmigaASM (Aktueller Software Markt) (Apr, 1987)
Die Hauptspielebene erinnert stark an DEFENDER OF THE CROWN, welches selbst schon mit einer entliehenen Spielidee vorliebnehmen mußte. Nur, daß hier alles viel chaotischer zugeht was dem Spieler wirklich den Spaß verdorben kann, auch wenn er über die entprechende Anleitung verfügt. Ich glaube, wir müssen mal abwarten, was der Herr Sachs in seiner eigenen Firma produziert. SINDBAD ist ein gutes Beispiel dafür, daß im Moment für die Amiga-Software wohl eher gilt: Mehr Masse als Klasse.
AmigaHappy Computer (Jun, 1987)
Schade, daß der Spielwert von Sinbad nicht die Qualität von Idee und Hintergrund-Story hat. Eine Zeitlang macht das nicht sonderlich schwierige Programm Spaß, aber spätestens nach dem erfolgreichen Absolvieren der Mission flaut die Motivation deutlich ab.
DOSPower Play (Jun, 1989)
Gegenüber dem Amiga-Original wurde die Grafik streckenweise deutlich verbessert. "Sinbad" ist kein Bravour-Spiel, macht aber ein Weilchen lang durchaus Spaß.
Atari STThe Games Machine (UK) (Nov, 1988)
On a 520ST it seems almost as if every breath Sindbad takes requires juggling the three disks. Ultimately this makes the game quite unplayable and while an external disk drive might help matters, disk accessing is a bore. Only with a megabyte of RAM does it become acceptable, allowing most of the game to be resident in memory. For people blessed with such machines the game becomes compulsive, with very attractive if not astounding graphics, an interesting atmosphere and good sub-games. Nevertheless dying if very easy, forcing a painfully repetitive retracing of earlier moves. [520ST]
