AB163 Foldable Grip for Pictionary Rail - black
A vertical foregrip made of durable nylon plastic and metal. Profiled and coated in an anti-slip pattern to ensure a firm and steady grip. The length of the grip can be regulated. Also, it is possible to fold the grip at an angle of 90 degrees.
The grip can be applied onto any replica equipped with a 22 mm RIS lower rail.
Users reviews
Number of reviews: 2 Average rating: 3.00
It's really stable when it's folded, but once unfolded and you want to use it as a foregrip it's extremely wobbly. I do not recommend this grip as this flaw completely defeats its purpose.
Great foregrip, bit wobbly but only but steady om the horizontal axis. Great folable grip for the price

General Question
Is there any way to head this situation off at the pass (details inside)
In his seeming unending quest to make my life miserable, my ex-husband has decided to file a police report saying that I stole his identity. I did not steal his identity or use his name and personal information in any way whatsoever. Never mind that what he is accusing me of happened five years ago – while we still married – and involved a property we both had interest in, he is determined to use this to try to cause trouble for me. This is the same person who filed a false CPS report, made more than one false 911 call, and sent a repo man after me. I am fairly sure that his plan is to give the police all of my personal information including address and where I am teaching if for no other reason then to embarrass me. My goal is to avoid having the police show up at work, or even at home and all of the questions that go with being questioned by a police officer. I have already contacted my attorney, but I am looking for some advice in the meantime.

text: Hello, I just recently purchased a Wii about a day ago that came with 3.3U already installed, my Wii is a DC2v2. I know this because I installed the D2Pro9 modchip sucessfully and I'm able to play backups and such. I have seen various ways to downgrade and have tried them to no avail. Most need the Homebrew Channel or .dol/.wad loader to run those programs. Well I'm able to run .dol files using my Wii Key, but that is only on gamecube mode with my Datel Media Launcher Disc. I tried running the Homebrew Channel Beta 9.dol in Gamecube mode and the Wii stays at a blank screen, nothing happens. guessing this .dol only runs in Wii mode? I would really love it if someone could point me in the right direction on how to downgrade to 3.2U. I don't have any custom IOS installed or anything. My Wii is basically cherry except for the mod chip. I have a friend that can lend me his copy of Zelda Twilight Princess, but I read that the save hack dosen't work on 3.3U? Please help.

wrestling / TV Reports
411's WWE Raw Report 05.17.04
Live from San Diego
Announcers are JR & The King
Report done *EXCLUSIVELY* for 411MANIA by PK
Big ups to Gagnon for covering for me last week on a moments notice. He will be back next week folks…for now, it's just boring old PK.
Intro…Edge & Benoit defend against Orton & Batista….20 Man Battle Royal.
Lita vs. Trish Stratus
Bischoff has banned all outside parties from ringside. Trish teases Lita a bit, and Lita clocks here. Trish in the corner, Lita charges, but misses, and Trish pounds Lita in the mat. Trish has a sleeper locked on, but Lita fights out. Lita comes off the ropes, and Trish hits a spinebuster for 2. Trish back on the sleeper, then goes for a StratusFaction, but Lita turns it into a suplex for 2. Lita nails a snap suplex, then the reverse ToF for 2. Kane comes on the tron and distracts Lita, so Trish can roll her up for the pin.
Winner – Trish
Back to Kane, who says that he did not mean to distract her in the ring, and reminds us that he wants a yes or no answer tonight.
Slam of the Week: Flair getting speared off the apron, but Orton rolling up Edge to retain the IC.
Orton comes out and tells us that he likes to talk about himself. Like how he beat Foley at WM & Backlash, or how he beat Edge last week, and that he is now the longest reigning IC champ in the past 7 years, and tonight he will now become a Tag Team Champ. But tonight is how HHH will bring the World Title back to Evolution, and how the rest of Evolution will make sure that HHH will win tonight, and will defeat Benoit at Bad Blood. Shelton comes out to inturupt, and reminds us all that he beat HHH 2 times. Orton tells Shelton that it was all luck, and Shelton is no match for Evo, HHH or himself. Orton says that he knows that he is better the Orton. Shelton then challenges Orton for the IC Title. Orton says that it would be soiling the IC title by defending it against him. Shelton then says: "Well, since you won't put up, try getting up" and drills him. Flair comes out to pull Orton out of the ring.
Evo talking about stuff…Orton will deal with Shelton on his own terms, but he will concentrate on winning tonight, then getting HHH his title shot.
Regal is congratulating Eugene on last week. Bischoff comes over and talks to Regal. He tells Regal that he has an interview set up for Eugene, and after that interview Eugene will never want to show his face again. Regal doesn't look to happy.
Recap of HBK getting suspended.
Kane vs. Val Venis
Val is heated, he wants revenge for last week. Venis assaults Kane with a bunch of punches, then hits the ropes, and meets Kane's boot. Kane with a choke slam for the pin.
Winner – Kane
Mattitude comes out to jump Kane, but Kane fires back and nails a choke slam. He then puts Matt up in the tree of woe, and chokes him with a camera cord. Kane then locks Matt's head in a chair (ala Pillmen's ankle), and steps on it to choke Matt out. Lita comes out and tells Kane that is he wants an answer, she says yes, and he gets off Matt. Kane then grabs her, and whispers in her ear.
Smackdown your vote rally recap.
Edge & Chris Benoit (c) vs. Randy Orton & Batista (w/ Ric Flair)
Edge and Orton start with back and forth action. Edge whips Orton to the corner, Orton comes out to a back body drop, Benoit in, Orton gets to Batista as well. Batista overpowers Benoit for a while, Orton back in, sends Benoit to the corner, but Benoit gets his boot up, and gets to Edge. More back and forth between these two. Edge locks on the sleeper, but Orton fights out, hits the ropes, and gets body dropped over the top rope. Batista comes in, and Benoit/Edge dump him to the outside as well.
During the break, Edge missed a spear, and went into the ringpost, and we come back to Orton working over his shoulder. Batista back in, and more concentration on Edge's shoulder. Orton back in, Edge sends him face first to the turnbuckle, then the Edge-o-Matic for 2. Benoit comes in on fire, and cleans house. He locks Orton in the Sharpshooter, but Batista breaks it up. Batista goes for a Demon Bomb, but Benoit slips through and goes for a Crossface, but Batista tosses Benoit to the ref. Edge and Batista then fall to the outside, and Benoit nails the Trifecta of Germans, and goes for the Headbutt. Flair distracts him for a second, and then he goes, but Orton got the IC title across his chest and Benoit headbutts that…the ref rolls over for a slow 2 count. Flair back on the apron, and Edge spears Orton into Flair. Batista takes Edge back to the outside, and Orton goes for a RKO on Benoit, but Benoit counters it to the Crossface for the win.
Winner – Benoit & Edge
Regal with Eugene, and he tells Eugene that no matter what happens, to stand up tall and be a man. You can tell that Regal hates doing this, and doesn't want to set up Eugene.
Todd Grisham is in the ring and introduces Eugene. Todd starts to talk to him, but Coach comes out takes over the interview. Coach tells him that everyone was laughing at Eugene, and tells him that he is a joke, and the people don't like him at all. Coach belittles Eugene to no end. He then tells Eugene that he has no friends here, not him not Regal, no one. He then tells Eugene to pack his bags and go home, and that he has no place as a pro wrestler. Coach tells him to get out of the ring and never come back. Eugene gets to the top of the stage, and "IF YOU SMELLLL" hits. Eugene looks star struck, and Rock leads Eugene back to the ring. Rock tells Eugene that he is going no where. He tells Eugene that he is the only one that knows The People, not Coach (calling him a walking popcorn fart). Rock then says that he came to San Diego to meet Eugene, and then the crowd chants for Eugene, then chants "Screw The Coach", then "Popcorn Fart." Coach reminds us that last time we saw Rock, he lost at WM. Rock then asks if that is what Coach really thinks. Coach starts to talk again, and Eugene yells "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK!!" Rock then asks Eugene who his friend is? The Rock. Rock then asks Eugene who is standing in the middle of the ring? The Rock. Rock then asks who Eugene favorite wrestler is? Triple H! HAHA. Rock is dumbfounded for a second, but then says that the 3 of them will play a game, either checkers, dodge ball, or watch Eugene kick Coach's candy ass all over San Diego. Garrison Cade comes out and jumps Rock, and Coach dumps Eugene to the outside, and helps with Rock. Eugene comes back in, and pulls off Coach, and Rock fights back. Rock nails Cade with a Spinebuster, then takes Coach down with a Rock Bottom, and he has Eugene nail the People's Elbow.
Smackdown Rebound:
Triple H makes his way out for the battle royal, then Maven, I think they are going to have full entrences for all the Superstars. Jericho next. Nope, they cut to a commercial.
We come back and Shelton is making his way down, then Kane, then Edge. Mattitude is too hurt, and Christian is too hurt from last week. The rest of Evolution then comes out.
20 (well, 18 now) Man Battle Royal
HHH, Maven, Jericho, Greiner, Conway, Rosey, Hurricane, Rhyno, Richards, Nitro, Venis, Cade, Shelton, Kane, Edge, Flair, Batista, Orton
This will be hard for me to cover, so I will do my best to just recap the people who get eliminated. All but Nitro and Kane attack Evo.
Kane almost dumps Hurricane with a military press, but Hurricane is caught by Rosey, comes back in and pounds on Kane.
Jericho goes to take out HHH, but Batista makes the save.
Shelton almost dumps Orton, but HHH makes the save. Flair puts the fig4 on Jericho. Kane goes to eliminate Orton, but Batista makes the save. Jericho with a back body drop on Flair, then he takes out Flair.
Batista attacks Jericho.
HHH and Kane pair up, and Kane shakes off the face to knee. Kane nails HHH with a choke slam, then Orton, then Edge, then Shelton, then he goes eye to eye with Batista, and Batista fights out of a choke slam, sends Kane off the ropes, then a huge fucking spinebuster on Kane. Edge back up, and sends Batista packing.
Edge then spears HHH and then Kane, then goes for Orton, but Orton lowers the bridge, and Edge hits the floor.
HHH and Orton double team Shelton, HHH with a knee to face, and tells Orton to send him out, but Shelton won't let go. Evo sends Shelton to the corner, and Shelton hops up on the turnbuckle and nails a Crossbody on both HHH and Orton. Kane back up, Shelton fires on him, and nails the spinning kick. Kane up quickly, and goes to choke slam Shelton, but HHH nails a low blow, then tosses Shelton.
HBK runs in, and takes out HHH, and clotheslines him over the top rope…and the ref calls for the bell.
Winner & #1 Contender – KANE
HHH looks pissed at HBK.
Show Over.

After reading what the 4CA misrepresents as a ruling based on law my head just won't stop spinning.
It takes a great deal of chutzpa(?) to issue this BS. They actually had the audacity to claim intermediate scrutiny and then simply apply (I'm being generous here) Rational basis. They even went so far as to claim that the court has no business interfering with the legislature. If this is true (& in the 4CA I'm afraid it is) then we're doomed. Checks & balances be damned. And we don't have the force of arms to rid ourselves of these worthless dictators.
The structure of the republic is one of soverigns and servants. ONLY the soverigns can bear arms in their own lands. NEVER the servants. But Md (& NYS, Cali, Ill, Hawaii....) politicians and these worthless courts willfully reverse the arrangement. The officals make themselves the soverigns and the people are the servants. This is NOT a republic but a dictatorship. As Chairman Mao said: "All political power grows from the barrel of a gun."
The final insult is that the 4CA ruled that the core holding in Heller is the right to bear arms in one's home. That is NOT the core holding in Heller. The core holding in Heller is that all men have the right to self-defense. The right to bear arms is in support of the right to life, the right to survival. This is a natural, pre-existing, fundamental right. Nowhere in any of the 2CA or 4CA rulings or petitions is this fact ever stated. It needs to be. The state claims it is too dangerous for a man to survive in public. I've never heard such crap.
It is also unfortunate that no one has ever brought up cases like Warren v DC. It is established legal precedent that the state has no duty to "serve & protect" any individual citizen. The duty is only to the public as an entity "at large". This, coupled with no right to self-defense in public means the state disputes your right to survive in public. If it weren't so appalling it would be hillarious.

Variant 3 is totally blank except for the map.
The reason the map positioning makes it likely to be a Clowes book rather than a Billing copy is that in the Clowes 1st Impression the map is on the left hand page while the Billings 1st Impression (and all later impressions) had the map bound in the other way round as the right hand page.
These three bibliography entries record the map facing an odd page number for the Dummy and Clowes 'Export' Editions, and facing an even page number for the Billing 'Domestic' Edition and later impressions:
I guess the people buying the Folio copies aren't 'hardcore' collectors and just want a good looking set of books. The Folio editions fit in nicely (price-wise) between trade hardback editions and the various HC deluxe editions.

No. 2 Oklahoma (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) at Kansas State (2-3, 0-2)
Saturday, 11 a.m. CDT, ABC Sports
The Daily Line: Oklahoma -20
Article Continues Below
Oklahoma player to watch: The Sooners showed the nation in last week's shutout win against Texas that their defense is among the nation's best. Senior defensive end Jonathan Jackson -- en route to being named the Big 12's defensive player of the week -- had a season-high eight tackles and two quarterback hurries. He's tied for fourth in the conference with three sacks.
Kansas State player to watch: It might sound like a broken record, but senior running back Darren Sproles remains the key for the Wildcats. In two KSU wins, he's averaged 257 yards rushing, but in the team's three losses, that number drops to 57 yards per game. Once considered a Heisman candidate, Sproles has no shot at that prestigious award. But he has to get going if Kansas State hopes to salvage this season, and that won't be an easy proposition against the OU defense.
The inside scoop: The Wildcats have to be considered among the nation's biggest disappointments. At 2-3, with the running game sputtering, the passing attack inconsistent and the defense mediocre at best, a run at another Big 12 title looks out of the question. The news only gets worse with the powerful Sooners on the schedule this week. And Oklahoma will be looking for revenge after getting beaten up by the Wildcats in last year's Big 12 championship game, 35-7. OU, however, didn't have freshman sensation Adrian Peterson at running back, and the 6-foot-2, 210-pounder enters this game as the marquee back on display, not Sproles.
Oklahoma will win ... and it will win in impressive fashion, with Peterson topping the 100-yard mark for the sixth consecutive game.
Kansas State could stay close if … Who am I kidding? Whether or not they will admit it, the Sooners are looking for payback, and the Wildcats are headed to the woodshed.
Notes: Oklahoma has dominated the all-time series, leading 66-17-4 … After his 225-yard outing against Texas last week, Peterson now ranks fourth in the nation with an average of 154 yards per game … Sproles ranks first nationally with 206 all-purpose yards per game.
The pick: A few late scores make this one closer than it was. Oklahoma 40, Kansas State 20
Iowa State (2-3, 0-2) at Colorado (3-2, 0-2)
Saturday, 11:30 a.m., MDT, Fox Sports Net
The Daily Line: Colorado -10
Iowa State player to watch: The Cyclones can't settle on a quarterback, but they have a talented group of young receivers, including sophomore Jon Davis. He leads the team with 25 catches for 325 yards and played well in last week's 34-3 loss to Texas A&M with five grabs for 86 yards.
Colorado position to watch: The Buffs offense can't seem to establish an identity. Part of the problem has been inconsistent play from junior quarterback Joel Klatt, who was knocked out of last week's 42-14 loss to Oklahoma State with a strained neck. Sophomore James Cox came on to complete 15 of 21 passes for 175 yards, but he also was picked off twice.
The inside scoop: Colorado enters this game as a 10-point favorite, but Iowa State's strengths are the Buffaloes' weaknesses. The CU offense is mediocre at best and the Cyclones have been formidable on defense, allowing just 315 yards per game. ISU also has very good receivers and could exploit Colorado, which ranks last in the Big 12 in pass defense, if its quarterbacks, Austin Flynn and Bret Meyer, play well. With quarterback questions of its own, look for Colorado to try to feature its running attack, led by Bobby Purify and Lawrence Vickers.
Iowa State will win if … its quarterbacks play well, and it can hold Colorado to less than 150 yards rushing.
Colorado will win if … it can run the ball and control the clock, and it doesn't give up big plays in the passing game.
Notes: Colorado leads the series 45-12-1 and won last year's meeting, 44-10 … Purify ranks ninth in school history at CU with 2,460 career rushing yards …Iowa State has yet to allow an opponent to convert on fourth down in five chances this year.
The pick: Colorado 23, Iowa State 21
Missouri (4-1, 2-0) at No. 9 Texas (4-1, 1-1)
Saturday, 2:30 a.m. CDT, ABC Sports
The Daily Line: Texas -14.5
Missouri player to watch: Don't look now, but in a league with several great defenses, the Tigers rank first in the conference and eighth nationally in total defense, allowing just 259 yards per game. Leading the way is senior linebacker James Kinney, who leads the team with 36 tackles and two recovered fumbles.
Texas player to watch: The passing game let the Longhorns down in last week's 12-0 loss to Oklahoma. Coach Mack Brown said he's going to look to throw the ball more, and with limited experience at the receiver positions, senior wideout Tony Jeffery must step up his level of play. He has 16 catches for 168 yards and two scores this season, but he had just one catch for four yards against the Sooners.
The inside scoop: This is a big game for both teams. Missouri has designs on winning the Big 12 North, while Texas is looking to bounce back from its fifth straight loss to rival Oklahoma. The Longhorns have the better talent on both sides of the ball, as well as home-field advantage, but they can't afford to come out flat after last week's disappointing defeat. As mentioned above, the Tigers defense has been stingy this year, and quarterback Brad Smith is among the most dangerous players in the country. Texas is a two-touchdown favorite in this one, but don't believe the hype. This will be a close game.
Missouri will win if ... it can slow the Texas ground attack, especially senior running back Cedric Benson, and Smith doesn't turn the ball over.
Texas will win if … it forces Smith to make all of his plays from the pocket and the passing game produces some big plays.
Notes: Texas has won 13 of the 18 meetings in the series … Benson was held to 92 yards last week against OU, but he still ranks second nationally with an average of 168 yards per game … Smith, who has 5,310 career passing yards, needs just 43 yards to move past Phil Bradley into second place in school history.
The pick: Texas 28, Missouri 23
Texas A&M (4-1, 2-0) at Oklahoma State (5-0, 2-0)
Saturday, 6 p.m. CDT, Fox Sports Net
The Daily Line: Oklahoma State -7
Texas A&M player to watch: Sophomore running back Courtney Lewis has rushed for 369 yards and five touchdowns in four games for the Aggies, winners of four straight. He had 171 yards and a touchdown in last year's loss to OSU and is sure to be a focal point of the Cowboys defense.
Oklahoma State player to watch: Sproles, Benson and Peterson garner most of the headlines among Big 12 running backs, but it's Vernand Morency who is the nation's leading rusher with an average of 174 yards per game. He's coming off a 165-yard, two-touchdown performance in last week's 42-14 win at Colorado.
The inside scoop: The nation is wondering of Oklahoma State is for real, and it will get an answer this week. The Aggies and the Cowboys are two of the most physical teams in the nation and should wage a battle in Stillwater. Statistically, the two teams are almost identical. If you're looking for an X-factor, it would probably be quarterback play. Texas A&M's Reggie McNeal has come into his own this year, getting the job done through the air and on the ground. For OSU, freshman Donovan Woods hasn't been asked to do as much, but he's gotten better each week.
Texas A&M will win if ... it can hold Oklahoma State to less than 200 yards rushing and McNeal takes care of the ball against an opportunistic Cowboys defense.
Oklahoma State will win if … it can avoid getting burned by McNeal when he scrambles and the offense continues to move the ball on the ground.
Notes: Texas A&M leads the series 13-6, but the Cowboys won last year, 38-10 … The Aggies lead the Big 12 with 18 sacks …OSU leads the nation in turnover margin at plus-15.
The pick: Oklahoma State 31, Texas A&M 23
Baylor (2-3, 0-2) at Nebraska (3-2, 1-1)
Saturday, 1 p.m. CDT
The Daily Line: Nebraska -23
Baylor player to watch: The Bears rank 11th in the Big 12 with just 92 yards per game on the ground and average just 2.8 yards per carry. The running game needs to improve to take some of the pressure off quarterback Dane King, and Paul Mosley is the best candidate for the job. He has 49 carries for 259 yards and two touchdowns.
Nebraska player to watch: Junior running back Cory Ross needs to get the ball. He's averaging 105 yards per game, but he's getting less than 20 carries per game. As poor as the Cornhuskers quarterbacks have been, Nebraska needs to try to establish its running game if for no other reason than to avoid turnovers.
The inside scoop: Nebraska is among the most storied programs in the nation, but it was thoroughly embarrassed in a 70-10 loss at Texas Tech last week. With struggling Baylor on the schedule this week, it will be interesting to see how Coach Bill Callahan's team responds to the whipping it received in Lubbock. Will the Huskers come out angry and focused or will they come out feeling sorry for themselves, expecting to beat Baylor with their reputation? Another poor outing, and it's hard to imagine that Nebraska will be able to right the ship this season.
Baylor won't win, ... but Bears fans need to stay patient as better times are on the horizon.
Nebraska will win, … but will the Cornhuskers show the heart of great Nebraska teams of the past? That remains to be seen.
Notes: Nebraska has won seven of the eight meetings in the series, winning most recently in 2001, 48-7 … Huskers linebacker Barrett Ruud needs just five tackles this week to become the school's all-time leader in that category … Five of Baylor's 22 starters are former walk-ons.

My DH (the traveling curmudgeon) has agreed to let me accompany him on a work-related trip to an area near Batesville, Arkansas. I convinced him to tack on 2 extra days so we can have a mini-vacation. I need suggestions of what to do, where to go that are in that general area. Since I am only permitted 2 extra days, I don't want to spend them in the car. The trip will be in November and we'll be flying in and out of Little Rock. It's not our first trip to Arkansas. We both like hiking but DH is not so much on the museums. If you can throw in some cows, it will be easier for me to sell.

Eureaka Springs?

Sorry for the misspelling: EUREKA

Possibly, but I was hoping more for a cozy cabin in the woods with some nice hikes and great views. DH is not one for historic homes.

Eureka Springs is a delightful town in the Ozarks where there are plenty of hiking opportunities: http://www.eurekasprings.org
PS I would make another suggestion, but I don't want to read an explanation of why it doesn't suit you or your annoying travel companion.

How about a pick your own farm?
It's ok with me if you explain why that idea doesn't suit. More information the better in my view. I have family members who don't like to travel, but I guess on a travel message board that is just tooooooo annoying. Actually, I wouldn't want to travel with that person! (A little too much me,me,me I'd be worried about.) I'd tell them "happy trails!" and go cow spotting with your curmudgeon DH.
Report Abuse
Wow- thanks for the kind reply, biztravfod. I was shocked by the snarkiness of happytrailstoyou. I have used Fodor's forums for years and have always appreciated the kindness of strangers. Perhaps just a bad day for happytrails...
I love the idea of the pick your own and will explore it more. I was a bit negative on Eureka Springs since it was further away than I wanted to travel. I have been to Bentonville and agree with tomfuller that Crystal Bridges is amazing and should be on everyone's must see list.
I was hoping that someone out there could give me ideas near Batesville. I am not familiar with that part of Arkansas. Any insight on Heber Springs/Greer's Ferry? Or the Ozark Folk Center? I promise not to whine if the suggestions don't suit me.

My pleasure! I don't think it's only HappyTrails who is having a bad hair week. I started posting here, and I got jumped all over for just reporting the news in some threads.

You might check into the area of Mountain View, Arkansas, which is very close to Batesville and the location of the Ozark Folk Center. The scenery is really pretty and hikes cabins are plentiful.
Report Abuse
Hikes and cabins, that is.
Report Abuse
As far as I remember, Batesville and the immediate area doesn't have a ton of things to do unless your husband likes to fish (I'm not a fisherwoman, but I've heard the White River is good for that - or maybe it's just the best option around!). Heber Springs is nice; we used to go for day trips when I was in college nearby, and I have a friend with a family lake house there. For hiking, you might try Petit Jean State Park or Pinnacle Mountain, both nearer Little Rock than Batesville.
Report Abuse
jayne and I were typing at the same time - perhaps I'm wrong about Batesville! My college roommate is from there and my memories of the town itself were nothing exciting.
Report Abuse
Haha jent-- I don't think "exciting" was ever mentioned! "Cozy cabin" and "nice hikes" was what I read. I think that area might fit the bill in that case.
Blanchard Springs Caverns are pretty, but if you have seen a lot of caverns it might seem like just one more to add to the list.
Report Abuse
Thank you everyone for your replies. I appreciate your thoughtful suggestions. Mountain Home and Heber Springs certainly sound like good options. DH does like to fish but would that be pleasant in November? Not sure what jayne and jent were bantering about - perhaps I need to research Batesville a bit more. Still hoping for a cozy cabin...
Report Abuse
rancherswife, I was just talking about how little is in Batesville itself. It sounds like there are a few low-key things around it, though, and several options around the state that might suit you.
I'm afraid I can't help on the fishing much. In November you might get chilly weather, or it might be 65 and sunny. Hard to say! It's likely to be somewhere around the 50s or low 60s.

Check out Red Apple Inn near Heber Springs; very nice.

With plenty of investors looking ahead to Airbnb's IPO, Morgan Stanley's Thomas Allen and his team take a look various cities and what the environment might be like for the startup versus traditional hotels. Allen looks at the U.S.'s top 25 lodging markets, and as there are no federal laws about short-term accommodation rentals, cities have had to handle the situation on their own. Airbnb unfriendly and good for hotels, while six cities--San Diego, Detroit, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Houston, and Dallas--have either chosen to be lax in their regulations or accomodative to Airbnb, and thus bad for hotels.

Here are some reasons why REIT ETFs deserve a place in your portfolio despite Fed's rate hike plans.
Mortgage rates reached a new milestone last week, and it's one of the most important—and underreported—events in economic history.
ETFs offer some of the simplest ways to get exposure to real estate. With the Global Industry Classification Standard having officially sanctioned real estate as its own sector, property-based real estate investment trusts trade on their own fundamentals instead of being tucked into the financial sector, as it was previously.
The $2.27 billion Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLRE) is not unique.
Weak energy and volatile finance sectors question the sustainability of continued strength across all 11 S&P 500 sector exchange-traded funds.
The technology ETF continues to trade to new highs, while utilities provide the safety of dividends.
These ETFs may be solid investments for those who want real estate exposure without the headaches.
Buying real estate investment trusts isn't like buying other stocks; despite their high yields and big long-term returns, REITs require a bit more attention and a bit faster action than more popular dividend-payers.
The technology ETF continues to trade to new highs on strong technical momentum, while utilities provide the protection of dividends -- this defines a barbell strategy.
The technology ETF continues to lead the 11 S&P 500 sector ETFs, thanks to continuing all-time intraday highs for its largest component, Apple.
The dynamics among the 11 S&P 500 sector ETFs make investment strategies difficult to judge. You can't be bullish with energy negative, but bulls control 7 of the 11 sectors.

Purity Products, Sr. Graphic Designer
June 2006 - April 2010
June 2006 - April 2010
Working closely with the art director, I designed and produced a wide variety of nutritional supplement product packaging and marketing materials. I was involved in all stages of design and production including: sourcing stock photography, meeting with vendors to discuss print options and specifications, creating mockups, preflighting files and reviewing proofs. In addition, I coordinated with in-house copywriters and the VP of Quality Assurance to ensure all materials and supplement facts panels were accurate and FDA-compliant. I was also responsible for researching and recommending photo equipment for our in-house studio, as well as conducting photo shoots of our entire product line.
Thank You!

Festival Opera is ready to unveil "About Face," the new two-act chamber opera that explores the issues faced by people with visible disabilities or afflictions.
The "opera experience" — a multimedia show that blends classic opera and modern visuals — was inspired by the life of Burlingame resident Heidi Moss. The award-winning soprano, who stars in "About Face," was struck with Bell's palsy in 2007, which resulted in permanent partial facial paralysis.
"About Face" will make its official world premiere with two shows Dec. 5 at the Lesher Center for the Arts, 1601 Civic Drive, Walnut Creek. Showtimes are 4 and 8 p.m. Tickets are $25-$45 (925-943-7469, www.lesherartscenter.org.) It will also be performed at 7 p.m. Dec. 7-8 at Oakland Technical High School Performing Arts Center, 4351 Broadway ($25; 800-838-3006).
A preview is also scheduled for 4 p.m. Thursday at Rossmoor Walnut Creek (Gateway Clubhouse), 1001 Golden Rain Road. It's free to members of Rossmoor's Opera and Ballet Club and $5 for nonmembers (www.festivalopera.org).
While preparing for "About Face," Moss took time out of her schedule to answer some questions via email about the new show and other aspects of her life:
Q: Before 2007, how much did you know about Bell's palsy?
A: That is a great question. Despite coming from a medical family and having a scientific background, I knew very little. My childhood pediatrician had it (his name was ironically and perhaps sadistically Dr. Bell) and I remember always being preoccupied by his face. My mom told me then what it was, but it was my only connection and a vague one at that.
Q: What were some of the early signs that indicated to you that there was something the matter?
A: The most dramatic aspect of Bell's palsy is its sudden onset: literally overnight. You go to sleep looking fine and you wake up completely transformed. The morning I woke up after the damage I went to brush my teeth and realized I couldn't spit. I also couldn't close my right eye at all and my eye was dry, blurry and in pain (corneal damage is one of the biggest risks). Once that revelation hit me, I did other things in the mirror and saw the distortion: droopiness, lack of movement on the entire right side.
Q: What was your reaction to the diagnosis?
A: The flood of emotions are so overwhelming. I was reassured in the ER that I would get better, so that flood was temporarily quelled when I had hope I would recover (85 percent of all cases of Bell's palsy resolve). The permanency didn't sink in until three months later, when after little progress my neurologist ordered a CT scan and other testing which revealed that my injury resulted in severe nerve damage.
Q: Has the reality — what you've actually gone through since being diagnosed — differed from what you first feared?
A: I would say the main difference in reality versus my initial fears was in my own personal acceptance. The physiological annoyances, like taping my eye shut at night, became habit and normal. I learned how to interact with people. And of course, it changed my singing in a positive way. So my fears were quelled, although I still find myself shying away and being self-conscious on occasion. But at least I own it.
Q: How has the affliction impacted your career?
A: As corny as it sounds, I honestly feel this was a gift. It taught me resilience, to dig deeper into what music, singing and performing mean, to go beyond the superficial, and to rework my craft.
Q: At what point did you decide to take what had happened to you and use your experience as the basis for creating art?
A: Speaking with Sara Nealy at Festival Opera, we realized we had something here. What better way to bridge so many elements, create awareness, and make art? My intention wasn't to necessarily use my experience, or even point it out in an obvious way. We all go through affliction of one sort or another. It is a universal yet very personal journey. But I also had a new audience in my various support groups and medical groups who had never seen opera before. They were intrigued when I posted some videos of me singing. I saw an opening for a new level of interest.
Q: Tell us about the storyline.
A: I consider "About Face" a production of two independent one-act pieces. "Face on the Barroom Floor" is simply about love, jealousy and revenge. (Operatic, right?) I don't want to spoil it, so I will let that story speak in the production. The more complicated is the 'Faces of Affliction." We didn't want it to be just a series of "opera scenes," although we are using elements of "La Traviata" and "Rigoletto" within it. We wanted a "whole" that was unified as a triptych of characters and their journeys.
Q: I know this was inspired by your story — but is it your story?
A: That is a great question. I truly want this to be EVERYONE'S story. That was the hardest dance in terms of creative conversation during this process: I am moved that so many are inspired by my story, but I, in no way, did I want to spoon feed emotion or influence. It is not about me.
Q: Was anything (or topic) off limits, in regard to your own experience, in putting together the show?
A: Ha! I am an open person by default for better or for worse. There is nothing off limits! Perhaps that gets me into trouble, but I would rather have it that way than ambiguity.
Q: What are your hopes for "About Face"?
A: Sadly, it is a challenge to sell tickets for a novel concept. I truly hope that people who love opera come to see it. I can promise it will have everything your grand opera offers and more. It is also my hope that people who never have seen an opera will come and get just the right taste to make them want more. Ultimately, I hope we can tell our story through art, move people, create awareness, open minds, and allow them to open the portal to see themselves a little deeper. A tall order, I know. But I was told I wouldn't sing again, so I am one for tall orders.
Q: What your hopes for Heidi Moss?
A: To live simply, love deeply, feel strongly and act boldly. And to keep singing as long as they let me. Oh, and to spread the word that we are more than our faces. We are more than our disabilities. I feel so grateful … this dream has become a reality. Can I pinch myself now?

Closing arguments have been scheduled in the federal trial of a former Chicago police official accused of lying about the torture of suspects.
Jurors are set to get the case against former Lt. Jon Burge on Thursday. Closing arguments were delayed by one day after Judge Joan Lefkow said she had an emergency that needed to be taken care of.
Burge has pleaded not guilty to perjury and obstruction of justice charges. He's accused of lying in a civil lawsuit when he said he's never seen or participated in torturing suspects in the 1970s and 1980s.
Burge repeated those denials on the witness stand at his four-week trial.
Prosecutors presented testimony from five men who said Burge and his men shocked, suffocated and beat them into giving confessions to crimes ranging from armed robbery to murder.
Burge could face up to 45 years in prison if convicted of all charges.

Anonymouswrote a review of Petzl Ascension Handled Ascender on March 23, 2004
Great product, somewhat incompatible
The Petzl Free Spirit carabiners do not fit into the Petzl Ascender safety lock hole. Of course this was a mix of alpine equipment and aid gear but it was surprising considering they are from the same manufacturer. Not a big deal. Quality product otherwise and timely service from BackcountryStore.com. It arrived just in time for a weekend outing!

What games are you playing now?

June 22nd, 2010, 12:01
Just finished NWN2 OC, which was a replay. I played it through with my ex - a couple of years back, and that way you tend to miss a bit of story.
To be honest, I was suprised how dull the campaign really is - and how dreadful the voice acting was. Only a few interesting characters, and the typical attempt at "depth" by Obsidian writers. I remember liking it more the first time, but whatever.
Still, it was a nice experience in terms of getting to build a character from 1-20 - and it wasn't too boring - just "meh".
Started MotB, and this time I'm actually going to play it
I'm not expecting too much, because it reminds me of Torment - which I've never been a big fan of. Too much pretentious dialogue and quirky stuff - just because - but at least I'll get to build my Fighter/Frenzied Berserker/Weapon Master all the way to 30

Great Goats to grow
North County's oldest brewery planning its first expansion
Ian Anderson 5 p.m., Nov. 24
My Little Pony Rides
Outcall service covering San Diego County
"We come to your backyard, frontyard, sidewalk, a park, or wherever your party is," says Cathy at My Little Pony Rides. "We dress the ponies fancy, and they have western saddles with seat belts. All of them are really gentle and used to being around kids, and they've had a lot of training. We hand-lead the ponies for each ride, we jog and play with them, we don't just walk them in circles." A two-pony party costs $165 per hour. For an additional $45, a petting zoo is set up where children can handle and feed baby goats, rabbits, chicks, and ducks. Once a pony or zoo pet reaches adolescence, its career is over, and it's replaced by a younger performer. Contact Cathy for information about adopting over-the-hill animals.

February 8th, 2012
Just a little background info first. My sophomore year of high school was when this all started. I started to cut and my parents moved me to a different school. I wasn't happy and I wouldn't eat much. I either stayed in my bedroom or I would just drive around by myself or be by myself elsewhere. I never went to a doctor for a diagnosis because I was afraid of what my parents would do if the results showed I really was depressed. I don't want them to treat me any different or act any different around me so I have avoided all subject of doctors and medication. I am now a sophomore in college and the depressive episodes happen a lot. I usually have around a week/month off where I can be a normal person and not feel down. Right now though I just have stopped caring completely. I have skipped my classes and I have homework that's do by tomorrow morning that I just don't care to do. I don't care to find a job and I don't care to earn money in any way. My boyfriend really wants me to get some help but I just don't know what to do. I don't like medications and I don't want a doctor to tell me something I already know and then try to help me by shoving pills down my throat. I don't think that actually helps. I want to get my knives out again but that would hurt my boyfriend as well and that seems to be the only thing I care about right now. I don't have a reason for being depressed or wanting to harm myself and hurt others. It's just how I feel and it just happens and I don't know what to do about it.

Hello SKittles,
At one stage in your post you say you have stopped caring completely.
Ahhhh, NO, you haven't as every other word IS about how much it worries you, what you think you are doing wrong and what others might think of you.
You care, big time, just like we all do.
You are afraid and there's no reason to be if you seek help and treatment. You are but one of millions doing exactly what you are right now. Denying the truth. You see, by avoiding medical help you are simply ensuring the problem will deteriorate and be ever so much harder to recover from.
In your case doctors are essential as you have already let it grow too much and it's obsessing you.
Go see your local doctor, ask for a diagnosis and then a referral to either a therapist or a shrink. I should point out to you though that therapy is of little value to you unless your mood is raised, usually by meds via a shrink and that to achieve anything at all with treatment you must be totally honest and open about everything. If you lie to them or omit information you cannot recover.
Nobody I know likes pills, or even talking about it. But it's the only way to escape a future of misery and doom.
WHat woud your parents do when you get a diagnosis of depression? Given you seem old enough to decide for yourself they cannot force you to do anything you don't want to. Nobody can force you to be treated until you become a danger to yourself or others. And that requires 2 independent shrinks arriving at that conclusion. But it you keep going the way you are that is more and more likley. The hurting yourself is a surefire way to forced treatment.
You must take control of your illness, admit it and accept it. Then see a doc and ask for help and referrals.
If you're waiting for it to just go away then you're in trouble. That doesn't happen at the level you are already at.
You may think the above is all bad news but, in fact, it is good news. I'm advising you of the best way to recover from where you are now and the consequences of doing nothing.
It's your choice to go either way. Seek no help, deteriorate, seek help and work hard for recovery. Which do you want?

New York-based trumpeter and composer Brian Groder calls his thing Modern Progressive Music and expresses himself freely on Torque, released on his label Latham Records. His fourteen compositions are fully realized in less than seven minutes each. In some free jazz performances where one might not feel a complete catharsis before another piece begins, Groder and The Sam Rivers Trio finish what they start for and with you completely.
The group dialogue begins with "Betwixt," a medium tempo tune that gives them time to simmer their organic stew. "Diverging Orbits" and "Involution" (which he gives "inspirational" and co-compositional credit to pianist Joanne Brackeen) are wheels in motion and elevate the art of the creative process. The Trio reedman Sam Rivers with bassist Doug Mathews and percussionist Anthony Cole, plucked from his Rivbea All-Star Orchestra form the solid ground that Groder needs to step onto with his fluid playing on trumpet and flugelhorn and his intricate yet listenable and enjoyable compositions. [NOTE: Free improvisational music can swing!]
Groder links up with reedman Rivers on "Behind the Shadows Part I." The pair dart in and out and behind each other like two newly acquainted birds in flight, and then they slowly retract from each other. "Behind the Shadows Part II" captures the two much more familiar with each other. They're together again on "Camouflage" and "Tragic Magic," where Groder pulls out his flugelhorn.
Again on flugelhorn, Groder draws warm tones from the bass strings of Doug Mathews in their duet on "Iota" and "Fulcrum." Another group effort, and aptly named, is the pivotal point of the group's collective flow that ebbs into the final "Water Prayer," featuring Groder with percussionist Anthony Cole.
Torque contains no convolutions of textures or harmonies that could have weighed it down. Groder proves that the creative process does work with much give and "give more."
Groder's Double Perceptions performs at Jimmy's 43 Restaurant on Sunday, February 25 in New York City. The group includes Rez Abbasi on guitar, Dominic Duval on double-bass and Newman Taylor Baker on drums.
JazzReview: Music and the creative process. Where does that begin for you?
Brian Groder: Well, I believe it is a process. The artists that engage me the most are people who have individual projects that try to present their music or their art in a particular light or they're trying to develop some form of ideas that they're working with. Not that I don't appreciate CD's that don't work standards, but I guess the CD's that do that are ones that may be re-harmonizations of standards or have a particular theme or something I don't know but as far as the process, it involves the collaborations of whom you're working with. And in my case, the opportunity to work with Sam Rivers was huge for me, someone that respected all the music that he compiled and performed in his particular style. He has a very distinct and individual voice in his improvisation; the way he plays his melodic lines and his harmonizations, the arranging and writings for his big band he's just very distinct. And that's wonderful because the world is just flooded with musicians who tend to sound exactly like one another.
And he's famous for the process that he helped established at his Rivbea studio here in New York City in the '70's and early '80's where it was just a laboratory of improvisatory free jazz. Musicians got together for so many nights and just explored so much music together. An audience could really interact and be up-close and watch this process take place. To work with Sam was phenomenal. It was a creative process. It was a wonderful experience.
JazzReview: Torque is your fourth CD. How did it come about and I'll ask the really dangerous question - was there a need or a desire to record this release?
Brian Groder: That's an interesting question. I think we'll go with the dangerous one first. Within me, there is always a desire to perform the music that I compose or work on the small techniques that I'm developing in my improvisations, and that fulfills a need to release that out of me. The recording process allows an artist to document that. There is a lot of music that I've recorded that I've never released, which I feel isn't up to certain standards. But there is a very strong need for me to document and to share this music that I do believe in. The music that is presented on Torque is what I considered music that was really together. All the selections are a balanced and interesting set for the listener. We recorded more music and I'll eventually put other takes and other selections on my website for the listener to hear. But Torque itself is a finished set of music that did relate to each other. Yes, it did fulfill a need and desire within me. I believe that all the musicians involved were very happy to have this music released because it was a fulfillment for them also.
JazzReview: What do you call your music?
Brian Groder: I call my music Modern Progressive [Music]. Some of the music that is on Torque is free jazz, spontaneously created within the moment. Other music was definitely improvisation over chords, progressions and scales that were notated in my compositions. The wonderful thing about Sam Rivers is that he does play free and he also does play over chords. He mixes the two and he knows exactly where he is within the form and structure of a composition. That, to me, is an important consideration for my music because I enjoy and believe in playing both free over chords. I don't do just one or the other. I'm one of those individuals who investigate, develop and try to do both. That is something that all of the jazz master idols that I grew up listening to - and still do - did. They did both.
JazzReview: I've drawn this review quote from your website: Groder's preference for working with other composer/performers gives his brand of modern progressive jazz unique improvisatory richness and depth. If you agree with that, how so?
Brian Groder: It might allude to the fact that I like working with individuals who have distinct voices and are creative in applying the wonderful musical techniques on their instruments that they've developed over the years. There are wonderful, outstanding musical instrumentalists who are just awesome, but to me, don't have a soul or don't convey a story in their music. I want to work with the storytellers. I hear a lot of new music here in New York and I don't hear the connection between the musicians. Everyone has incredible technique. Everyone is playing their you-know-whats off, but I don't hear the connection to the other musicians within the moment. I know that they're listening, but what are they listening for and to with each other? That's something that's important to me. I'm not saying it's right; it's right for me. It's the richness of playing with musicians who know how to connect with each other and know how to use their technique. It's not surprising to me that the best musicians are seemingly always composers in their own right. One of the things I was fortunate enough to learn from [guitarist and composition educator] Dennis Sandole was the importance of learning improvisation and composition techniques at the same time, hand in hand. I think that's invaluable for any musician.
JazzReview: Please compare and contrast your writing for dance and jazz ensembles. In general, how do you approach both?
Brian Groder: O.K. With composing in general, I am continually trying to compose in different ways in presenting new music I have composed than in the way I had displayed or presented it previously. That's why it's important to hear other musicians perform and listen to new recordings. Not that I'm trying to cop[y] what other people are doing. It triggers ideas and it may give me an idea for how to resolve an issue in a composition. Composing for me is not the easiest process. I'm not a good pianist. I work very slowly and I'm always working with many compositions at the same time. I keep lots of notebooks, working with ideas and putting things together. It's an engaging activity for me all the time. I may get up at two in the morning and start playing in amazement to my cat and then go back to sleep and then work on something else. There are elements I'm trying to work with all the time so that my compositions don't sound the same. That's the important thing.
One of my mentors is Joanne Brackeen. She is always making sure that I'm doing something new. Recently I brought her some of my work and she said, "These are great. These are all good, but they sound like other stuff you've written with the same manipulations." And that's not good. Not good enough for me. That means take it away, rework it and try to present it differently. She has great suggestions. There are some compositions that we've composed together. We were working together and we were of one mind and we said "Yes, let's just be co-composers on this."
As far as the dance project that I worked on (Music for Dance with The Cherylyn Lavagnino Dance Co.), there I wanted it to be very rhythmic and provide a setting for the dancers to be able to grab a hold onto those rhythms, and contort and manipulate their bodies in any way they saw fit--and to also provide a landscape of rhythm that was very diverse and very specific in one of those alternating time signatures, so that the pulse is displaced and the rhythmic accents of the melody are displaced, but make sense. Yet, there's a strong rhythmic resolution from tension to release, which I think is important in all music. For the listener, it's great to have tension, but you have to provide release because the mind can only take so much. I believe this is true in visual arts. There may be an incredible amount of tension in a painting of a modern artist, but they know how to resolve it in some corner of the composition. Rhythmic release is just as important as melodic and harmonic tension to release.
JazzReview: How's it been distributing Torque?
Brian Groder: In a world that is flooded by new releases, it can be difficult. This is I guess you could call it a vanity label - it's a label by myself. I've learned a lot how you present music and the timeline that you do it [in] and how you contact all the people in the business. It is a business and I'm reminded of that everyday, which is fine. I don't have the resources financially of a major label to put all the music out to all the [listeners] worldwide on a time scale that they do. You have to have respect for labels. This is what they do and can do. They have all the connections, so I'm making the connections one at a time. I have to take the personal approach and send e-mails and "thank you" notes to everyone who is interested and supports the music or has given it a chance. And it's a sincere "thank you" because they don't know me. They have to like it to present it. They're getting countless CD's in the mail from everyone and there are so many great musicians out there putting them out themselves. So they have to pick and choose who they're gonna write about, who they're gonna present, who they're gonna spin for their listeners. It's a different market with blogs, internet radio people are getting their jazz fix and information from a lot more sources than Downbeat and Jazz Times now.
Someone told me the best way to think of record labels is as banks. They're banks of money and contacts that jazz musicians would never have, and the banks loan these out to promote the music that you write and perform. Of course, they then have to take their interest back because it's a business for them. So I don't think that labels are necessarily evil. They have to be understood for what they do. Two books that changed my mind about the way I'm doing this are Guerilla Marketing and The Tipping Point. I bought several copies for people. There are wonderful lessons to be learned in those books that can be applied to what we do as individual musicians.

In screen 1, there are 10buttons, such as tv, fan, lamp, iron, laptop. When I clicked the tv button, it will pass 'tv' into the appliance column in SQLite and goes into another activity where user input power and usage. The power n usage will go into SQLite under same row as tv.
The same goes for fan, lamp, etc. User will not need to key in appliance name, only power and usage. How can i make sure the name of appliance connected to power and usage? Thanks

I'm assuming that after clicking the button you're directly led to the next activity (btw: I'd use a fragment for that, not a different activity).
Two things you could do:
1. Pass the the information about which button has been clicked along to the next activity by using:
Then get the additional infos. After you have them you write all the information into the database. That way you don't need to identify which row your appliance is assigned to and you don't have to open your database twice.
2. If you want to keep it the way it is you can push the following sql to your database which will just work as well:
The important part is the WHERE clause. This will search for the row where appliance is what you've specified.
I'd suggest to use the first method because it is way more dynamic. I'm also new to android programming but from my general understanding of coding the first one makes more sense. In order to write to the correct column in your table you need to pass which button was clicked to the next activity anyways.
I hope I could help you!

Album Rating: 2.0This was a nightmare to write, so it's short, sadly.
good review. better than the one i wrote up. id take the limp bizkit thing out just because its
This isn't that short
Digging: Julien Baker - Turn Out The Lights
Album Rating: 2.0Ah, well, all is good then. Felt a bit on the short side to me.
Alright, I'll remove the bit about Bizkit.
Album Rating: 1.5The only albums I find decent by this band are 'Mata Leao' and 'State of the World Address', which are two good examples of hardcore metal in my opinion. I've only heard one song from this album, being 'Vengeance is mine', and that was enough to make me decide not to listen to the album. This band is getting way too much hype nowadays...
Digging: Aosoth - V: The Inside Scriptures
Dude, URBAN DISCIPLINE owns! Know your roots!
Album Rating: 2.0u wot
Album Rating: 2.0Remember when this was bad?
Digging: Goldfinger - Hang-ups
Album Rating: 2.0I remember like it was yesterday
Album Rating: 3.5Review is well written for sure but I would never dare to compare Biohazard with Disturbed (admitting I'm not a big fan of the latter). Those two have not too much in common imo… I enjoy this album quite a lot. The band is still able to create energetic riffs and sounds powerful and angry as ever. Skullcrusher and Never Give In are great! That's how I like my NYHC ;) Production is not very distinguished though… But unfortunately that's a general problem today.

ADL: 1,080 Anti-Semitic incidents in 2011
An audit released by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) on Nov. 1 reported that 1,080 anti-Semitic incidents took place across the United States in 2011; of those, 235 incidents took place in California. For the third consecutive year, California led the nation in the number of anti-Semitic incidents, according to the report.
"It's not just mild stuff. It's really quite shocking the level of vitriol out there," said Amanda Susskind, regional director of the ADL Pacific Southwest division.
A national agency whose mission is to fight anti-Semitism, racism and bigotry, the ADL annually releases an "Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents," tracking the number of anti-Jewish assaults, vandalisms and harassments during the previous year. There were 19 physical assaults on Jewish individuals; 731 cases of harassment, threats and events; and 330 cases of vandalism this year, the audit found.
Incidents in Los Angeles included a physical assault in May 2011, when a Jewish middle-school student in the San Fernando Valley, a constant target of bullying, was assaulted from behind and choked by one of the bullies. In October, a teacher in Los Angeles was called "Jew boy" by another teacher and was assaulted with a pipe.
The audit reveals two emerging trends, Susskind said. The first is that anti-Semitic bullying in schools is increasing.
"It feels to me like a casual use of anti-Semitic epithets has become more acceptable among kids," Susskind said.
The second trend is the increasing prevalence of anti-Semitism online, including on social networks such as Twitter and Facebook and in the comments sections on news Web sites, Susskind said.
One incident of vandalism in the report garnered much attention from local news outlets in April 2011, when three Calabasas High School students spray-painted anti-Semitic graffiti on their school campus. The students were arrested and tried as minors. Two of the students were ordered to complete 100 hours of community service, and the disposition of the third student was not made public. After the incident, the ADL provided training to student leaders from Calabasas High in advance of the start of the 2011-12 school year.
The ADL attempts to be consistent each year in gathering data for the report, but the audit's methodology is "not scientific" Susskind said. Using data gathered by the ADL's 30 regional offices and law-enforcement agencies across the country, the audit counts both criminal and noncriminal acts. It does not include images of swastikas — a universal symbol for hate — that do not target Jews, nor does it include anti-Semitism that occurs on thousands of Web sites, comments sections and other forums because they are "virtually impossible to quantify," according to the ADL Web site. In addition, the audit includes criticism of Israel or Zionism only if those criticisms cross the line from political expression to anti-Semitism.
The report does not account for anti-Semitic attitudes, which are on the rise, according to a 2011 ADL national telephone survey.
In 2011, two multistate violent plots by white supremacists appeared to target Jews, according to the report. White supremacists David Pedersen and Holly Grigsby were allegedly traveling to Sacramento to target Jews when police apprehended them in October. Convicted felon Danny Lee Warner Jr. was arrested in December after violating parole and allegedly sending a letter to his wife that said he intended to kill Jews.
Cyber-bullying and text messages are often used to target Jewish children, adolescents, teenagers and college students, including using words evoking Holocaust imagery, the audit suggests. At a college in Milledgeville, Ga., a Facebook message to a Jewish student read, "I hope you burn in hell." In Milton, Mass., a Jewish student was jumped on and bitten in his dormitory by a neighbor who had previously made anti-Semitic comments.
Harassment against Jewish individuals — or individuals perceived to be Jewish — during speeches, picketing and other events is also recurring. In the San Fernando Valley, two individuals drove past Jewish pedestrians and shouted, "We're going to kill all you f— Jews." In the Orange County city of Villa Park, a boy who refused to take a Bible from Evangelists who were handing them out at his school was knocked to the ground and kicked by another student while being called anti-Semitic slurs.
In August, anti-Semitic graffiti that read, "666" and "Go home," was discovered on the temporary offices of the San Fernando Valley congregation Temple Judea.
Said Susskind: "It's amazing to me; we should be pretty immune to this stuff by now, but ultimately I have the same reaction this year reading the actual report [that I have every year] … you just kind of have to say, 'Whoa, that's really shocking.'"
