The pastor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish in Boulder, Colo., earlier this month informed a lesbian couple, active in the parish for three years and with two young girls in pre-school that their children would not be able to attend the elementary school beginning in one year. The decision, leaked to the media apparently by a teacher at the school, has caused uproar in the community, and divide the parish.
The women shared their story with NCR editor Tom Fox. The pastor, Fr. William Breslin, explained his decision.
Fox interviewed a number of parents with children at the school to see how the decision is affecting their families. Following is the first of these interviews, edited for length and clarity.
Andy Bush and his wife, Anna, have three children at Sacred Heart School.
NCR:tHow has the decision affected your family?
Bush:tWell, I think it's been hard because for the first time our faith has run head-on with our consciences. We don't support the decision and at the same time we've been part of this wonderful community for our kids for the last six years. It's given us pause and a lot of concern, a lot of sorrow, like everybody else.
NCR: How has it affected your children? Have you talked to your children about this at all?
Bush:tYes, we've talked a lot to our sixth-grader about it and it's been tough because we realize his belief system at the moment is shaped by ours and the schools. So he's not supportive of it [the decision] because we're not supportive of it.
NCR: How does a sixth grader process this?
Bush: A sixth-grader is 11 years old and ours is a writer and a creative thinker, and for him, essentially what we've said is that our belief system is such that we think that sexual orientation is kind of today's issue of prejudice and that we don't believe that this type of prejudice is OK.
My wife grew up in Catholic schools; I didn't. I'm not a Catholic, so we're in discord with the church at some level. Fr. Bill knows this. You see, I'm not a practicing Catholic.
NCR: Were you married in the Catholic church?
Bush: No, we weren't. In the eyes of doctrine, we're sinners and we're living out of discord in the church.
NCR: So you would be in the same ...
Bush:tIn a theoretical sense, I'm the same as the lesbian couple. And at the same time, we are treated differently than this couple in that we were asked to baptize our children in the Catholic faith, which we did, and raise them in the Catholic faith, which we have, not so different than this couple.
I've also been asked to be on the school advisory council, which I was. I've been asked to be on the school grounds committee, which I was. I was part of the selection committee for our new principal and had many conversations with Fr. Bill, specifically about the fact that I wasn't Catholic, but that I could uphold a fair and kind of open view and, thereby, representing a part of the school that isn't Catholic.
NCR: Did Fr. Breslin ever suggest that you get married in the Catholic church?
Bush: He didn't, nor did he suggest that my kids wouldn't be allowed to go to school beyond kindergarten.
It's a little disappointing and people, including our family, are a little concerned about speaking up because maybe I'll be the next person who's asked to leave. They know that I'm not Catholic. Fr. Bill and I have had discussions about this.
There are a significant number of people in Sacred Heart who I would imagine have been part of the experience of divorce. I don't know how many have annulled their marriages. There have been some children born out of wedlock. And there is an amazingly small family size for the Catholic church, in case any one has noticed.
NCR: By speaking to me, do you have any fears that the archdiocese is now going to have to kick your children out of the school?
Bush: Yes, we're arguably a logical next step, but I think if they take that next step and the next step after that, it's going to get to be a relatively small school. Honestly, I'm speaking out but not to protest and to be the next person. Right now, everyone is so focused on the controversy ... My real concern is that we have a school that has struggled financially and just got its act in order in the last year or so. We've hired a new principal. How do we make sure that what is this great, wonderful community goes on beyond this one event?
Support independent Catholic journalism.
NCR: They have?
Bush:tYes. I think that there are people who have decided that they are no longer going to give financial support to the parish. They're going to move to St. Thomas [a neighboring parish]. And those are the unfortunate impacts of what's happening.

I have an older wooden boat and the deck is planked with teak which is fastened directly to frames. I'm tired of the battle with leaks and want to cover this deck. What would be the best material(s) and method(s) for proceeding?
Dan Dickison responds:Thanks for your question. You've got a number of options regarding how to deal with your leaky deck. Of course wooden boat purists will tell you that the only proper thing to do is to lay a new deck using teak. I agree that this would certainly be the way to keep the boat in its traditional trim, but that process can be cost-prohibitive for some owners. Anyway, it's clear from your question that you don't want to go that route.
One other quasi-traditional option for sheathing your deck is to cover it in canvas and then paint that. It might sound strange to you, but this method was quite common prior to advent of fiberglass. You'll have to remove all deck hardware and the toerails to do this, and depending upon the shape of the teak that's there, you may need to tear it out and replace it with marine plywood, or at least sand it smooth and seal it with epoxy (we're trying to combat rot here). Then you can adhere the canvas, paint it, and rebed the hardware and the toerails. I owned a 23-foot Bear Boat (native to San Francisco Bay) aboard which the deck had been sheathed in canvas for roughly 40 years. We had the boat for five years, and with a little regular maintenance, it held up quite well.
The third option, and the one that will likely give you the longest life out of the boat, is sheathing the deck with fiberglass. Again, you'll have to remove all of the deck hardware and the toerails and any hatch fittings, so there's a fair bit of work involved. And you'll have to prep any weak or rotted teak just as you would with a canvas sheathing, but once you have done all the preparation, wetting out the fiberglass and laying it in place will go fairly quickly. Then when it's fully cured, you can paint it.
Before you get started on a big project like this, it's always best to check with someone whose gone through the process recently, or done it several times in the past. That way you can learn about most of the pitfalls in advance. I recommend you find a boatyard that works on wooden boats in your general geographic area and strike up a conversation with the workers there. In the time it takes to drink a beer (or two) on a Friday afternoon, these guys can give you most of the information you'll need to know so that you can get to work and get your boat ready for some more sailing.Best of luck to you.

NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. – The Merrimack College men's and women's cross country teams hit the track for the first time in 2013 on Saturday, as the Warriors make the short trip up to Saint Anselm College to compete in the Shacklette Invitational.
The Basics
Date/Time: Saturday, Sept. 7, 2013 | 9 a.m.
Location: Saint Anselm College | Manchester, N.H.
Last Time Out
Both the Warrior men and the women are coming off successful 2012 campaigns that featured the emergence of several young stars that have laid the foundation for a promising 2013 season.
On either side last year, underclassmen ran well beyond their years, and that warranted plenty of admiration from head coach Chris Cameron, who returns for his 22nd season in 2013. The injury bug also proved to be prominent last fall, but despite those battles against the wear and tear of the sport, the Merrimack men still managed to place eighth in the Northeast-10 Conference Championships, while the women earned a tie for sixth place.
The Warrior Men:
- Return several young and promising stars, including sophomores Nick Christensen (Peabody, Mass.) and Aaron Maurais (Hopedale, Mass.); the former won the Rivier Invitational last fall, while the latter earned a pair of top-10 finishes
- Junior Sherif Ali (Cliffside Park, N.J.) highlights the upperclassmen core after finishing in the top-10 of three races last season, including a second-place finish at the Rivier Invitational
- The Warrior men placed second at the Shacklette Invitational last fall and also posted a victory in the Rivier College Invitational, coming out on top of an 11-team field
The Warrior Women:
- Sophomore Kerry Phelan (Peabody, Mass.), the 2012 NE-10 Female Rookie of the Year, is one of the top returnees from last year's team that finished tied for sixth at the NE-10 Championships
- Joining Phelan will be senior Brianna Devereaux (Londonderry, N.H.), juniors Kelsey Grimmer (Shelton, Conn.) and Amber Legacy (Bennington, Vt.) and sophomores Kristin Schmidt (Athens, N.Y.) and Caisie Wynot (Braintree, Mass.)
- Phelan ran well beyond her years last season, helping her relay team place fifth at the Skyhawk Relays before running to a third-place finish at the Rivier Invitational
- The rising sophomore then earned an all-conference nod at the NE-10s with a 15th-place finish at the league championships before placing 14th at the NCAA East Regionals to conclude the season

You've probably heard about the health wonders of the Mediterranean diet. Noted as exceptional because of its combination of fresh fruits and vegetables, olive oil, Greek yogurt, light meats such as fish and lamb, and even a glass of red wine. Some of the health benefits associated with the Mediterranean diet include a reduced risk for heart disease and cancer. Greek cuisine is filled with tons of Mediterranean diet health foods, and while it's easy to make it at home, sometimes it's great to gather with friends or family and enjoy a nice, light, and healthy meal together. Here are a few places in Reno to enjoy Greek cuisine.
Set in the heart of the Biggest Little City, Niko's Greek Kitchen is in Downtown Reno's West Street Market. It's a quiet place with tons of seating, and you can tell that the friendly people who work there are passionate about their food. Let's take a look at a few choices you can choose to keep things on the lighter side.
House Salad
This is a plentiful salad that you can have all to yourself or split with a friend for a light lunch. It comes with chicken, lettuce, onions, cucumbers, feta cheese, and a few slices of soft pita bread.
Gyro Salad
This is a plentiful Greek salad (tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, Greek olives) with gyro meat and slices of soft pita.
Greek Salad
As authentic as it gets, a traditional Greek salad is made with tomatoes, onions, Greek olives, feta cheese and cucumbers. This is a filling and healthy salad that will let you be able to splurge on a little slice of baklava. […]

House and family history booksWriting Your Family History - A Guide to Family Historians
Newly released in September 2014 and available now from Pen and Sword books.
A practical step-by-step guide to writing a family history is designed for anyone who wants to bring their ancestors' stories to life. It looks at ways of overcoming the particular problems family historians face when writing a family history - how to deal with gaps in knowledge, how to describe generations of people who did the same jobs or lived in the same area, how to cover the numerous births, marriages and deaths that occur, and when to stop researching and start writing.
The book provides examples to help readers find their own writing style, deal with family stories, missing pieces of information and anomalies. It also offers advice on key aspects of composition, such as adding local and social history context and using secondary material. The focus throughout is on how to develop a story from beginning to end.
Exercises are a key feature of the text. There is guidance on the various formats a family history can take and how to choose the appropriate one, with examples of format and layout. Production and publishing are also covered – books, booklets, newsletters, websites, blogs and ebooks.
Tracing Your House History - A Guide for Family Historians
My book Tracing Your House History was released at the end of March 2013. It can be ordered via the publishers Pen and Sword Books.
Copies can also be bought from the Book Depository and Amazon. E-books are available from Kindle and Kobo.
Tracing Your East Anglian Ancestors - A Guide for Family Historians
This is my first book, covering research techniques and explaining local history. The two topics are inter-related, because knowledge of local events is essential in explaining changes in living circumstances and making informed guesses about where to look next for documents.
The book covers all the major record types used to establish a family tree, but principally looks at fleshing out a family tree with details of who your ancestors were and how they lived.
Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex are the main counties covered, as one would expect from a book on East Anglia. A number of reviews can be found below.
To buy Tracing Your East Anglian Ancestors - A Guide for Family Historians for £12 + P&P please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Personalised books
I write personalised house history books for individual clients, details of which can be found here for businesses and here for private clients.

TAG FinTech presents: Lunch & Learn on Real Time Payments - After years of discussion, the notion of faster payments in the U.S. is rapidly becoming reality thanks to the efforts of the Federal Reserve's Payments Improvement Task Force and its participating firms. These new systems could fundamentally change how we think about person to person transfers as well as business payments. Of these efforts, The Clearing House's real-time payments initiative is among the furthest along and most ambitious. Get the details on its functionality, rollout and potential uses. Glenbrook's Elizabeth McQuerry is moderating the session.

I've given you a story time and again you moron! The lesbian pair in SF! REMEMBER???<quoted text>
Do you have some proof that a gay person can't be an effective parent simply because they are gay?
I mean, if there are a few well adjusted happy and healthy kids out there with gay parents, wouldn't that crush your odd theory?
Scouts face pressure before vote on no-gays policy
There are 33 comments on the CBS 3 Springfield story from Feb 7, 2013, titled Scouts face pressure before vote on no-gays policy. In it, CBS 3 Springfield reports that:
It promises to be a campaign as passionate and dramatic as any big election. For the next 14 weeks, the Boy Scouts of America will be the focus of prayers, petitions and pressure tactics aimed at swaying a vote on whether to ease its ban on gays as Scouts or adult leaders.

Gays should just open a open Gay scouts. Leave strait folks alone. hmmm... Maybe I should cry and force myself to become a girls scout's leader? Yes! Hey are you discriminating me just because I'm male and I want to be with your little girls? NO! That's how stupid the Gays sound like. I already excepted Gays. Now quit being a pain in the A**

Sweetie, you are educating yourself to be stupid, again. What Freud actually said was, "Sexual morality-as society, in its most extreme, the American, defines it-seems to me very contemptible, I advocate an incomparably freer sexual life."
Notice the subtle differences between my actual quote and your right wing creative writing version of it?

No thank you, the existing program will be sufficient. Get rid of its official irrational bigoties, problem solved.
Well, this is the first time that we have heard that we are somehow annoying folk who live on a narrow, typically navigable waterway that connects two larger, navigable bodies of water. We'll have to make it up to them somehow, but we're still not sure how we are bothering them.
Guess what sweetie? The Girl Scouts have always allowed adult male volunteers, they don't discriminate. But just like any other adult volunteer, don't expect to ever be left alone with one of your little charges. Adults overseeing the Girl Scouts have to be in twos, one of whom will be female.
No dear, that is how stupid you sound. The Boy Scout's current policy promotes nothing more than seriously ugly bigotry and seriously ugly stereotypes that very few gay men actually live down to, but as evidenced by their vast pervert files, apparently a place where a hell of a lot of openly heterosexual men are willing to go to.
I think you were hoping to say accepted, but given what you have said thus far, excepted works better. You apparently think your stated urge to prey on young girls is something that happens to all gay folk, except for us it is young boys. Nope. Just because you have the urge to act out sexually with inappropriately aged young girls, does not mean that your little problem is shared by many, if any of us.
You first.

No Lides, because it is that argument and that topic alone that one day will knock the dominoes down the halls of injustice on gay anything. It's an argument for children's 'basic' human rights that even you, Justice Lides, dare not raise in court, newsprint, television etc.

You do realize that your regular name changes only serve to undermine any credibility you might have right?
Do try to stick to the topic, which is the scouts allowing gay members and scout masters. If you were any smarter, you would realize that your argument have no bearing upon the topic at hand. Why is it, LBA, that those like yourself and Wondering have such difficulty staying on topic? Must be adult A.D.D. Or perhaps just A.D.D.?

Some of those kids you mention are gay. Some of them become scouts, follow all the rules, and grow into wonderful young men who happen to be gay, but do the scouts proud. Why do you hate them so?

Um, I believe I was talking about 'straight' ss parenting.
Not one person can refute it and Jutice Lides has absolutely no response to it. When you get an 'off topic' cry baby remark from one of Massachusetts' leftest of left Joseph Mengele loving socialists it is a fine fine day indeed.

Lady Antebellum, Kangaroos, Koalas & Keith. Oh My!
Lady Antebellum will join Keith Urban as part of his Get Closer 2011 World Tour in Australia. The trek kicks off Friday (April 8) in Adelaide, and Lady A member Hillary Scott is hoping to soak in the local flavor during some free time Down Under.
"Dave has been to Sydney, and then Charles and I have never been," says the youngest member of the group. "So this is going to be an adventure for us. We're excited! We've done some phone [interviews] and promos, but to meet the people, to see the fans, to hopefully make some new fans — we're really looking forward to it. And then the obvious; I'm going to go see the kangaroos and pet a koala bear. [laughs] We're really looking forward to it. It'll be really fun."
They'll play shows in Sydney, Brisbane, Tamworth and Melbourne before wrapping this leg of the tour in Auckland, New Zealand April 18.
Lady Antebellum have a few weeks off the road, to continue working on their forthcoming album, before they head back out on tour June 2 in Thackerville, Okla.

Home > News & Events > EPoD Faculty Launch New HKS Executive Education Program on Financial Inclusion
Despite three decades of innovation in financial services for the poor and an unprecedented global expansion in access, the potential of finance to reduce poverty, foster entrepreneurship and improve well-being has yet to be fully realized.
The challenge is to design financial products that meet the needs of low-income populations while ensuring the sustainability of financial providers. Government loans for the poor often meet with high default rates, while insurance products encounter very low take-up. Despite the promise and popularity of microfinance, recent studies have shown that the standard microloan fails to significantly reduce poverty and the most recent numbers show a first-ever decline in the number of microfinance borrowers globally. After decades of invention and investment in the sector, half the world's adult population – and 77% of those living on less than $2 a day – still are without a single account with a formal financial institution.
Rethinking Financial Inclusion: Smart Design for Policy and Practice, Harvard Kennedy School's newest Executive Education program, will explore frontier issues in finance for the poor and address challenges faced by both low and high-income countries. The program will combine an evidence-based approach to understanding the market for finance and client needs with theoretical insights on how to design financial products to meet those needs.
Convening strategic thinkers from the public, private, and nonprofit sectors, the program will provide a conceptual framework for policy and product design, enabling participants to:

Familiar Pattern in Teachers' Union Negotiations
New York, NY —
The teachers union and city negotiators will be back at the bargaining table today to try to hash out a contract that is already more than two years overdue. The teachers have amped up their rhetoric but are having difficulty getting traction. As WNYC's Dan Blumberg reports, that's a familiar pattern.
REPORTER: The Mayor has something he wants the unions to know.
BLOOMBEG: Anybody that thinks the city has a lot of money is just mistaken.
REPORTER: Those comments were recorded in June, but the Mayor has being using variations of this mantra since he took office three months after 9/11. Usually, he goes on, as he did last week….
BLOOMBERG: We'd love to pay our teachers more, we did give them the largest raise in history….
REPORTER: But that's not necessarily how the teachers remember the deal. Yes, they did get a big raise, but they agreed to work an extra 20 minutes a day.
It's part of the Mayor's focus on productivity. From his statistic-packed Management Reports, to the bullpen cubicles he's made city administrators sit in, the CEO-turned-Mayor is always looking for ways to improve output.
STEIER: He's been able to get concessions to a greater degree than previous Mayors have.
REPORTER: Richard Steier is the editor of the Chief-Leader, a weekly newspaper focused on municipal employees. He says the Mayor did well last year when he got the largest municipal union, DC 37, to take a 5% percent pay raise, along with one thousand dollars in cash.
STEIER: Traditionally, DC 37 has been willing to come forward and make a deal when other unions with more ambitious demands have wanted to hold back.
REPORTER: Mayors often use the DC 37 deal as a pattern for other negotiations. Bloomberg did this successfully in 2001, but last year he met stiff resistance particularly from the police and firefighters. Before the Republican Convention, they tried to shame him into giving them new contracts. Uniformed Firefighters Association President Steve Cassidy:
CASSIDY: Mayor Bloomberg says we're no different than people who just push paper. That's a joke. It's an insult to police officers and firefighters who risk their lives everyday
REPORTER: Leading up to the convention, disgruntled firefighters and police followed the Mayor around during the day and kept him up at night, chanting outside his Upper East side apartment.
Chanting: A Billionaire, who doesn't care
REPORTER: But Mayor Bloomberg didn't roll over. The police waited another year for a contract and the firefighters still don't have one.
BELL: Mayor Bloomberg is master of the rope-a-dope as it used to be called in boxing. To let kind of sit back and calculate that it's at his advantage to let this thing go on and on even if he has absorb some blows for this.
REPORTER: Queens College History Professor Josh Bell has written about the city's labor politics. He says Bloomberg's tactics have saved the city money, but he wonders about the long term price.
BELL: There's a tremendous cost in morale and recruitment and retention that comes from not having contracts and having such substandard wages and working conditions and ultimately that's the great danger that he's going to preside over a city whose services will deteriorate.
REPORTER: Mayor Bloomberg's cost savings have often come at the expense of new employees who will get much lower salaries. Some refer to these as contracts that "eat their young." Thanks to an arbiter's ruling, new police recruits will now earn $25,100 a year And the NYPD may have already seen the effects: Only 21,000 people signed up to take the upcoming police entrance exam, compared to 25,000 one year ago.
Chanting: What do we want? A contract. When do we want it? Now.
REPORTER: As for the teachers, they're battling over more than just salary. Once again, the Mayor is demanding productivity gains and state arbitrators have backed him up. The non-binding report recommended teachers get an 11% raise over three years if they work another 10 minutes a day, another three days a year and that they give up their highly prized seniority rights.
Many teachers were don't like the offer. Donna Marie Smith teaches English as a Second Language on the Upper West Side at Booker T. Washington middle school.
SMITH: I would not support the arbitrator's contract as it is. We fought hard for tenure for people who have stayed in this system and for principals to be able to just bump them around at will that's unacceptable.
REPORTER: Despite reservations about the state report, the UFT delegates voted last week to use the report as a "vehicle" for negotiations. And they gave the Mayor a deadline. If they don't get a fair contract by early next month, they say they'll discuss going on strike or endorsing Bloomberg's Democratic opponent Fernando Ferrer.
The threat got the Mayor's attention. Negotiations have resumed, but Bloomberg drew his own line in the sand when he said that talks have gone on "long enough" and that if a deal is not struck quickly, he'll simply offer the teachers the deal suggested by the state. But that was a non-starter with union president Randi Weingarten who says Bloomberg likely only offered it because he knew the teachers wouldn't accept.
Whatever Bloomberg's motivations, he certainly has a powerful incentive to end the discord. The election is about a month away and the education Mayor could live without the head of the teachers union making comments like these.
WEINGARTEN: The educators in this city feel betrayed and they are fed up. They're angry, they're demoralized.
REPORTER: Meanwhile, the city's 4th graders just posted record high math tests.
For WNYC, I'm Dan Blumberg.Correction: We mistakenly identified a Queens College History Professor who has written about the city's labor politics. His name is Josh Freeman, not Josh Bell as we reported.

One of the Bollywood icons, Amitabh Bachchan has recently turned down the opportunity of working in the same picture as actress Mallika Sherawat. If one is to believe gossips, it seems that the main reason for his rejection was the fact that the beautiful actress is mostly known thanks to her look as not for her talent or movies. In the Bachchan family the general opinion was to turn down this collaboration.
It seems that even his wife, Jaya Bachchan said to her husband that such association will not be good for him. The main reason for her opinion was the same one as in the case of Amitabh. The fact that Mallika is mostly famous because of her sexy avatar and not for her acting skills seems to be quite disturbing for Big B's family as well.
It was none other than director Kushan Nandy who made Big B the proposal of working with the actress on the next film, as Mallika said she will accept the part if she will play alongside Bachchan.

Hemorrhoids , also called piles,are swollen and inflamed veins in your anus and lower rectum. Hemorrhoids may result from straining during bowel movements . You can often relieve the mild pain, swelling and inflammation of hemorrhoids with home treatments. Often these are the only treatments needed. Use topical treatments. Apply an over-the-counter hemorrhoid cream or suppository containing hydrocortisone, or use pads containing witch hazel or a numbing agent. Soak regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath. Soak your anal area in plain warm water 10 to 15 minutes two to three times a day. A sitz bath fits over the toilet. You can get one at most drugstores. Keep the anal area clean. Bathe (preferably) or shower daily to cleanse the skin around your anus gently with warm water. Soap isn't necessary and may aggravate the problem. Avoid alcohol based or perfumed wipes. Gently dry the area with a hair dryer after bathing. Don't use dry toilet paper. To help keep the anal area clean after a bowel movement, use moist towelettes or wet toilet paper that doesn't contain perfume or alcohol. Apply cold. Apply ice packs or cold compresses on your anus to relieve swelling. With these treatments, hemorrhoid symptoms often go away within a week. See your doctor if you don't get relief in a week, or sooner if you have severe pain or bleeding. Consult surgeon....

Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.

You have never lived until you have almost died. For those that have fought for it, life has a special flavor the protected will never know
Having a gun in the car is not the same as being ready to defend yourself....if that is the case, then you are using the firearm in a manner not intended--that is, as a talisman against bad things.
I recommend more reading...and more training through a reputable instructor...if we can't change your mindset, then someone who can do some hands-on traininng definitely will.
Magazine <> clip - know the difference
martyr is a fancy name for crappy fighter

And then you must be even more rigorous about doing them safely. Two kinds of people make mistakes that lead to negligent discharges:
Those that don't know and follow the rules
Those that know the rules and are sure they cannot make a mistake
We must do two seemingly contradictory things:
Know the rules so well that they become instinctual, automatic, and unconscious
Ensure that we consciously take responsibility and follow them even then
To get more practice and gun handling skill, you can engage in dry fire exercises.
The following is what I was taught -- and actually do -- but safety is YOUR responsibility. Get a professional instructor to monitor you if you have ANY doubt at all about your ability to perform the practice safely.
First, separate ALL of your ammo in a different room/place from where you will practice. Clear the gun there, double check it. Leave the ammo (all of it including extra mags, separate rounds etc). Go to your dry fire place.
Clearing and checking the gun must include at least the following (for a semi-automatic):
- Drop the magazine (first)
- Rack the slide back (to clear the chamber)
- Visually inspect the chamber
- Look THROUGH the slide down the magazine well and SEE AIR or GROUND -- say, "I see the AIR".
- Look away (to ensure you REALLY looked)
- Repeat the visual inspection of both chamber and looking through the magazine well.
- Repeat the entire process.
You MUST repeat the check at least twice.
Your dry fire location MUST have a 'safe direction' to point the firearm -- we are still going to treat it as if it is loaded. (For safety purposes) All firearms are always loaded, right?
[Safe direction means something a round will NOT penetrate (e.g., wallboard to another room, front door to your neighbor's house are NOT safe) and something that will NOT bounce a round all over the room.]
Announce OUT LOUD, even if alone in the house, "I am going to dry fire now." Re-check the gun. Double check the gun, while always maintaining a safe direction.
Pick an 'especially safe direction' -- I like to use the END of a row of books, e.g., a set of encyclopedias END to END, and discharge the trigger.
Notice we just broke a rule of gun safety for the first time -- we put our finger on that trigger. This is the reason we must be absolutely explicit about maintaining all of the other rules.
Now you are ready to dry fire. You can practice drawing and firing as long as you maintain a safe direction and as long as you do NOT interrupt the practice -- if you get a phone call, stop to use the bathroom, or do anything else you MUST repeat the entire process to prepare. No exceptions.
Practice with your firearm cocked and holstered just like it will be when you carry -- engage any external safety. Pretend there is a round in the chamber. Pick a target (always in a safe direction, don't don't use your cat or the big screen TV), and slowly present the firearm, FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER.
Drop the safety with your thumb (presuming a thumb safety on almost an modern pistol which has one) ONLY as you come on target. Make sure of your target and only now with the conscious intention to fire, place your finger on the trigger, and discharge the trigger while pointed at your SAFE DIRECTION.
Re-engage the safety and holster. If you must cock it to engage the safety, then some of your practice should be where you only point the firearm, finger goes to trigger, you do NOT fire, remove finger from trigger, re-engage safety and holster.
When finished, or if interrupted, state out loud, "I have completed dry fire practice." Do NOT leave the dry fire room/place until you do this. Say it out loud even if you are the only person within 10 miles.
If you decide to perform additional practice, you MUST repeat all of the steps to separate the ammo and move to a different room even if you are 'sure' you haven't loaded.
All firearms are always loaded (for the purpose of safety.)
Sometimes, for cleaning and dry fire practice we must however discharge the triggers -- so in those cases we make a very explicit, couscious ritual of all of the other safety precautions -- and still we triple check.
- Firearms are always loaded
- Keeping them pointed in a safe direction
- Know your target AND what is behind your target in case a round goes through or misses the actual target
- Keep your finger off the trigger until you are prepared AND INTEND to shoot to destroy the target
Putting the firearm on safe is not actually one of the 'rules of firearm safety' -- it is just a darn good idea if the firearm offers this choice.
Many firearms accidents and negligent discharges start with someone saying, "See, it won't fire when the safety is in this position."
Do not say this and do not ever let yourself BELIEVE this.
Many others start with, "Of course it is unloaded, so it is perfectly safe."
Do not say this and do not ever let yourself BELIEVE this.
NEVER depend on the safety of a firearm to keep you safe, use it only as an extra precaution.
A dependable Glock, a quality holster, always 6 + 1, developed muscle memory with the trigger finger...it all works together.

Regarding training, I recently took a handgun class in a group setting. My reaction was that the class was too short (only 2-3 hours) and not enough reps of the drills. My intent is to arrange a one on one course with the instructor. The instructor is a LE instructor and is very good in getting the message across.
GLOCK 19 in a Crossbreed Supertuck, one in the chamber and 15 in the magazine. I love the fact that the only things I need to remember is draw, point, and fire. Most modern firearm safeties are relatively simple to manipulate while drawing, but it's is one more step and one that can go wrong at a very bad time.
Practice, practice, practice.

With great power comes great responsibility.-Stan Lee
I carry xdsc-9 iwb crossbreed supertuck, and i always have one in the pipe. the first few times i was kinda hesitant but i also thought everyone was looking at me too... LOL that goes away with the more you carry the more comfortable you get and your weapon essentially becomes part of you. kinda like wearing a cell phone on a clip on your belt... A MUCH MORE DEADLY CELL PHONE... LOL
I carry a H&K P30 9mm 15 +1 in a C-TAC Holster. Always. If I ever need it, chambering a round or dealing with safeties... it's just not for me.
i dont think there is anyone on here that will suggest to you that you do not keep one in the chamber, and if they do they will most likely get a big bashing.
a DAO with no safety or SAO with safety are both fine and very safe if you know how to use them. personally I carry a 1911, so SAO with safety. pratice practice practice and you wont even know the safety is there, you will just disingage as you draw.
i would never suggest to you to carry a gun without a safety if you are not comfortable enough to carry it as such. if you dont feel that you can safely holster your gun without a safety, then you cant.
i would also never suggest to you to carry a gun with a safety if you are not comfortable enough to carry it as such. if you dont feel that you can flick that safety off every single draw with no lag time, then you cant.
either way the only solution is lots of practice. and if you have that, either way is perfectly safe.
Georg BüchnerWo die Notwehr aufhört, fängt der Mord an
(Murder begins where self-defense ends)
I saw a forum members signature on here that reads something like - Waiting until there is trouble before you chamber a round in your gun is like waiting until you see the guy run a red light before you put on your seatbelt. A gun without one in the chamber is an unloaded gun and I ain't takin' an unloaded gun to a gunfight!
Of all the handguns I have ever owned, - Glocks, Sigs, Revolvers, DOA Kel-Tec .380 etc... - none have had manual safties. Therefore my EDC has to be something that I can just pull out and shoot.
To the O.P. welcome. Many good suggestions have been made and should be followed. I have but one more. Search. This subject comes up more often than any other.
3 hours is great as an intro -- such courses, never go very far.
At least a full week-end, or 3-5 days is a good basic course in defensive shooting at a quality facility.
Then perhaps another week-end once or twice a year if you can find a good nearby school.
If you can, try to get in something with Gabe Suarez of Suarez Int. -- they will include some Force on Force (e.g., Airsoft) usually, which is more realistic than shooting only at paper targets.
Try to take some AMOK! with Tom Sotis or Die Less Often (Suarez also) for accessing.
Firearms are great but they can be nearly worthless if you criminal has the drop on you or is already attacking violently, and you can't get your pistol deployed.
When it's my PM9, one in the chamber; as DAO, I'm confident it won't be going off unless I want it to. When it's my winter gun, a Kimber UCII, one in the chamber and safety on ... I practice taking it off safe a dozen times each morning before I go out, just to remind my thumb what to do ... my third carry gun is a Smith 637, and it's five chambers are always full ...

Thomas said it appears that when Downs [28] and another man found the note they got involved in a heated argument over who was responsible for the bull getting out. The fight turned physical before the subjects got into their cars.
Downs then rammed his car into the other man's vehicle in an attempt to push the car into oncoming traffic on Fisherville Road, according to Thomas.
"The subject eludes Mr. Downs and heads back to the property," Thomas said. "And at this time, Mr. Downs brings out a shotgun."
Downs shot two rounds into the ground near the victim's feet and then another into the air, according to the police.

I completed my graduate degree in 2004 in the Immunobiology program at The Pennsylvania State University (PSU) in Hershey, PA. I then conducted post-doctoral research at PSU in the area of tumor immunotherapy. During my post-doctoral research I served as an adjunct instructor for the Department of Biology at Elizabethtown College. In 2007 I was hired on tenure-track as an Assistant Professor of Biology. Excitingly, I was recently tenured and promoted to Associate Professor of Biology.
In addition to my dedication to teaching, I have established a productive research laboratory studying the effects of stress hormones on the immune response to tumor antigens. While at Elizabethtown I have published research in the peer-reviewed journal, Brain, Behavior, and Immunity. Additionally, I have published two papers with undergraduate coauthors, was the lead author on a book chapter in the Handbook of Psychoneuroimmunology (In Press), and presented research at national meetings. My laboratory is currently investigating how stress hormones change the frequency of the various subsets of dendritic cells, which are critical for the development of an effective immune response against viruses and bacteria. I also have a strong interest in the area of nutrition education, and am developing this as a second area of research.
I enjoy the outdoors, and often spend weekends with my husband and two Boston Terriers at our cabin in Snyder County, PA. I've recently developed a passion for gardening, and spend many hours freezing and canning summer fruits and vegetables. I am active in my church, serving as a Stephen Minister and chairing the Social Ministry committee.

Building the cache, please wait (it should only take a few moments).
After leaving at 7:45, we arrived in Anza-Borrego at 11:20, where we immediately went on a hike. We hiked about 2/3 of a mile to The Palm Canyon Oasis, where we ate lunch and relaxed for a while. We hiked back and went to camp, and had semi-elegant dinners. After dinner everyone crowded around the warm campfire and shared stories. Almost everyone was asleep by 9:30 and woke up around 7:30. Once everyone had breakfast, the younger scouts did some rank advancement, and we left to go to the wind caves. The road in was a muddy mess and the going was slow, but we all got there fine. After only a short hike we arrived at a village-like arrangement of natural caves carved into hardened sand formations. The scouts ran off and ate lunch in the caves and after a while there we drove back. The rest of the day played out like the previous one; dinner, campfire, bed. The next day was our last day there. In the morning the younger scouts went off doing map and compass. When they got back we went out to the slot canyon. The slot canyon is a thin trail going in between two tall rock walls. At one point the trail became less than 2 feet wide! We hiked to the end of the trail and watched some Jeeps maneuvering around boulders, which was quite difficult. We hiked back to the cars and drove back to camp. Everyone raced to take down the tents and pack up. We left at around 2:00, and were all very tired from a fun and exciting weekend at Anza-Borrego.

Pit Bull Hot Sauce Review
I may as well begin this review of Pit Bull Hot Sauce (original flavor) with my only criticism of the product: the bottle it comes in is too damned small.
Pit Bull comes in a fairly standard 5 oz. bottle (as well as a 12 oz. size), but whereas a lot of hot sauces are consumed a few drops at a time and therefore can last weeks or even months in the fridge before you need to buy a replacement, I've consumed almost half the bottle and I've only been using it for two days.
The reason either size bottle isn't large enough is that Pit Bull is not one of those dainty sauces you use sparingly. This sweet, delicious, and very hot sauce is one you slather, not drip. I'm not kidding when I tell you that Pit Bull will replace ketchup in your home. And I'm a total ketchup junkie. As the Frank's Red Hot slogan goes, I use that stuff on everything. But since I first opened my bottle of Pit Bull, I haven't touched the Heinz (in fact, I haven't touched the Frank's, either).
What's interesting is that while Pit Bull does not contain tomatoes, it really does deliver a ketchupy experience. With both chili and tabasco peppers, the heat is accounted for, but it's the vinegar, sugar, and honey that give it a ketchupy tang and make it a true condiment that any sandwich, burger, or side of fries would scream for if they could talk. It's not particularly thick, but if you like sweet-and-hot this sauce is for you.
In the last two days, I've tried Pit Bull Hot Sauce with eggs, sandwiches, and to kick up pasta sauce. It has made a flavorful improvement to every dish every time I've used it. In fact, while it does boast good heat, it has so much good flavor that you'll be inclined to use it liberally. On a chicken sandwich, I covered the entire surface of a piece of bread with Pit Bull, just as I would with mayo, mustard, or barbecue sauce. Like any good pit bull, it will bite you back, but it's worth it.
It just needs to come in a bigger bottle. Like ketchup does.

text: So I have an iPad 2 64gb on Verizon. I'm subscribed to the Verizon service and so I haven't needed to access the View Account menu under the cellular data settings. I went recently just to check in to see what kind of options they had out now. Much to my horror the button to View Account and login is gone! Only the little on/off toggles for Cellular Data and Data roaming are there. I am on 5.0.1 Absinthe jailbreak. Anyone else having this problem or have any solution ideas? Normally I wouldn't care but with tablets I can't even sign up for a my Verizon account, I can only make changes through the iPad. Also I contacted Verizon and they told me to update the iOS, she didn't even ask me what iOS I was on though, lol. I was like **** that. She said I could also try to reset subscriber services in the reset options but I'm scared if I do that then I won't be able to go back and turn my service back on and log in. Not to mention I have the 3gb plan for $35 and they don't have that anymore.

The Wolverines are now 1-1 against ranked opponents this season, having lost at top-ranked Kansas on Dec. 19. The victory over No. 15 Ohio State was U-M's first over a ranked opponent since March 19, 2009, when the Wolverines defeated No. 24-ranked Clemson in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Michigan defeated a ranked Ohio State team for the first time since Jan. 16, 1999, when the Wolverines earned an 84-74* victory over No. 21-ranked Ohio State in Ann Arbor. U-M had lost 11-straight to ranked Buckeye teams.
Michigan wore its maize uniforms for the third time this season and improved to 2-1 this season when wearing maize.
Michigan played in front of a sold-out Crisler Arena for the first time this season. The capacity crowd of 13,751 against Ohio State marked the 172nd sellout all time at Crisler Arena.
For the fourth straight game, Michigan went with the starting lineup of Stu Douglass, Zack Novak, Laval Lucas-Perry, Manny Harris and DeShawn Sims.
With his start against Ohio State, Manny Harris has now started all 80 games in his U-M career, while Stu Douglass has played in all 48 in his career. Zack Gibson extended his consecutive-games played streak to 80, while DeShawn Sims has played in 110 consecutive for Michigan.
Manny Harris scored 24 points and is now all alone in 23rd-place in scoring at U-M with 1,364 career points. Harris entered the Ohio State contest with 1,340 career points, tied for 23rd with Maceo Baston (1995-98). It was the 28th 20-plus point game in Harris' career.

DeShawn Sims scored a season-high 28 points, moving him past Eric Turner (1982-84), Maurice Taylor* (1995-97) and Ray Jackson (1992-95) on U-M all-time scoring list. Sims sits 28th in career scoring at U-M with 1,265 points.
DeShawn Sims recorded his 14th career 20-plus point game. His 28 points were just one shy of his career-best 29, set on Feb. 26, 2009 against Purdue. Sims made 13 field goals in the contest, tying his career-high set in that same contest against the Boilermakers. Sims was 13-of-18 from the field and did not attempt a three-point shot for the first time this season.
DeShawn Sims moved into the top-30 in U-M career rebounding with nine boards against Ohio State. Sims now has 577 career rebounds, 30th in school history. Ray Jackson (1992-95) is 29th all-time in rebounding at U-M with 578 career rebounds.
Manny Harris and DeShawn Sims combined to score 52 of Michigan's 73 points in the contest. The duo also grabbed 16 of the Wolverines' 31 rebounds.
Stu Douglass connected on two three-point field goals against the Buckeyes. Douglass has made two-or-more three-pointers in each of the last four games since entering the starting lineup. He had just one multi-three-pointer game in the first nine this season while coming off the bench.
Stu Douglass played 38 minutes against Ohio State. Combined with his 40 minutes against Indiana, Douglass has played 78 of a possible 80 minutes during Big Ten play.
Matt Vogrich's two made field goals were both two-point baskets, the first two-pointers of his career. His first eight made shots were all three-point field goals. Vogrich also finished the contest with a career-high-tying three rebounds.
The Wolverines shot 55.8 percent (29-of-52) from the field in the contest, the best shooting percentage in a game since the season-opener against Northern Michigan (Nov. 14) when U-M shot 57.4 percent (35-of-61).
U-M forced Ohio State into 13 turnovers in the contest. It is the 11th time this season that the Wolverines have forced an opponent into double-digit turnovers.
After the game was tied, 52-52, U-M outscored Ohio State, 21-12 in the final eight minutes.
Michigan played its second game without associate head coach Jerry Dunn, who took a leave of absence earlier this week due to personal reasons. Administrative specialist Jeff Meyer assumed responsibilities.

New Trail On Badger Mountain
Friends of Badger Mountain volunteers started construction on a new trail along the south side of the mountain.
This trail is going to be the least steep out of all the trails and part of it will run right above an apple orcharid.
The new trail starts at the same point as the Skyline trail.
The two split about a half of a mile up and then the new trail continues south of Skyline trail.
Jim Langdon the trailmaster said the new trail will be 2.5 miles long.
He said it will be open to hikers, bikers and horses.
"This trail was designed a lot with bicycles in mind so that it's not straight it's going to have curves in it. It's going to go up and down a little bit because there are several canyons on this side of the mountain so we'll be dipping in and out of them," said Langdon.
This is the first time Freinds of Badger Mountain are using machines to help clear a trail.
Langdon said it should take about two weeks for the machines to do the rough dig and then they will need volunteers to help smooth and gravel the path.
Friends of Badger Mountain hope to have the trail complete by the end of April.

Ovarian / Fallopian Tube Cancer
There is hope, innovation and support available for those with ovarian, fallopian tube and all other forms of gynecologic cancer here at the U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center
Ovarian Cancer affects the ovaries -- and in some cases the fallopian tubes. The ovaries and fallopian tubes are a part of a woman's reproductive organs which produce steroid hormones as well as eggs, called ova. Ovarian cancer usually occurs after menopause. In fact, 50% of ovarian tumors occur in women aged 40 to 60 and 40% over age 60.
Fallopian tube cancer is one of the rarest of cancers, making up 1% of all gynecologic cancers. According to cancer.net, there is evidence suggesting some ovarian cancer begins in the tissue on the fringes of the fallopian tube and may migrate to the ovaries. Research is ongoing to better understand the connection between the two cancers.
Patient Care and Treatment
The Gynecologic Oncology Program at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center provides diagnosis and treatment to those with all types of gynecologic cancer, including ovarian cancer and cancer of the fallopian tubes. The Multidisciplinary Gynecologic Oncology Clinic follows a team approach to care. Our patients have their situation discussed not only by our gynecologic oncologists, but also by team surgeons and pathologists. By having everyone involved, a personalized treatment plan is developed. In most cases, this discussion happens the same day as the appointment.
We also offer a Breast & Ovarian Risk Evaluation Program for those diagnosed with ovarian cancer -- or for those concerned with they are at risk for this type of cancer.
Since our program is part of the U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center, our patients have access to Patient Support Services. Support and services are available to our patients at every point in their care.
Make an appointment/referral
To make an appointment, please call the Patient Care Center at 734-647-8906; or use our appointment request form. If you would like to refer a patient, please contact our M-Line service: 800-962-3555. For more information, visit our Make an Appointment web page.

Then they blow a five point lead an allow the NY to tie the game and send it in to OT. After falling behing by five in OT they go in a 7-0 run and then hold on to win by 1. katie Smith almost shot them out of the game, but did hit a couple of 3 balls in crunch time and OT. Nolan led the comeback in the 4th. Cheryl Ford who missed the last 10 games of the season and was thought to be out for the season came back to help them win by being the only Shock player to show up in the first half.
