Fact of the Day: Ben Thanh Market first opened its doors in 1914 and is a symbol of Saigon. It is filled with people clamoring to sell you cheap goods from t-shirts to silk and bamboo to lacquer. It is a great place to find unique souvenirs. Towards the back are a few small cafes serving local cuisine or coffee. The wet market is in the far back and offers a wide variety of meat, fish, poultry and flowers.
The St. John's volleyball team has officially spent one week in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and cannot believe it has gone by so fast. With a day off between round-robin action and the semifinals of the 2007 Vietnam Television (VTV) Cup Fourth International Women's Volleyball Tournament, the Red Storm took time to relax and visit with students and athletes from Hong Bang University.
Most of the team decided to spend the early part of the day relaxing poolside at the Caravelle Hotel, while a few members opted for shopping at the famous Ben Thanh Market. At the market, several other teams were shopping as well. VTV camera crews followed the athletes around as they browsed through the different stalls. One camera crew spotted sophomore Hui Ping Huang (Shanghai, China) and followed her around as she purchased a couple souvenirs.
"Ben Thanh Market is a great place filled with typical Vietnamese dress, various wood carvings, hand crafted goods, jewelry and so many seasonal fruits," said Huang. "I was able to buy two bracelets for less than the price of one. We were able to get a lot of great deals. That made me happy."
After shopping the group met up with the rest of the team for some sun and then chose a very familiar comfort food for lunch – KFC. Most of the meals, which typically cost $4 to $5 in New York, were equivalent to only $2 USD. The Red Storm then went back to its hotel to get ready for the friendly match with Hong Bang University.
The match was held at the sub court at the VTV Cup competition facility and was broadcasted on several Vietnamese television stations. When the athletes entered the court, they were greeted with a warm and loud ovation from the students of Hong Bang. The university's cheerleading team opened the festivities and then the teams exchanged a small gift. The Red Storm then presented the president of Hong Bang University with a framed autographed jersey and photo of the 2006 BIG EAST regular season champions.
Dr. Hung Le, assistant dean of St. John's College graduate division and director of the Vietnam initiative, was the Red Storm's honorary coach for the afternoon. Before the match, he thanked the students of Hong Bang for their support of St. John's and vice versa.
"Today we wear no colors," said Le. "We are all part of the same tea, St. John's and Hong Bang Universities united."
With the ceremonies complete, the teams took to the court and began to play. The Red Storm faced tough competition but pulled through and won the first game, 25-23. To spice things up, head coach Joanne Persico-Smith was the team's starting setter and assistant coach Li Chen subbed in for Dana DeMayo (Ra'anana, Israel). In the second game, the team's swapped players and had some more fun. Athletic trainer Jennifer Hamilton even got in on the action as she subbed in for Kathleen Yee (Honolulu, Hawaii) and registered her first international dig.
When the match was finished, a local television station in Ho Chi Minh City, interviewed Yee, Huang, Wioleta Leszczynska (Bielsko-Biala, Poland) and Ruisa Scheffel (Novo Hamburgo, Brazil) about why they chose to play volleyball, what it is like to play on such a diverse team and what they have enjoyed the most about visiting Vietnam.
The volleyball team then returned to Caravelle Hotel to relax and shower before heading out to dinner on cruise up the Saigon River. While the Red Storm was participating in their friendly match, the St. John's psychology students were attending lectures and exploring Ho Chi Minh City. The two groups met up for dinner and were joined by international relations students from Hong Bang University, as well as the university's president and his wife.
Before heading to bed, junior DeMayo checked in with RedStormSports.com to post the team's eighth daily journal entry. To view her postcard, click here.
The Red Storm returns to action on Friday, May 18 against Shikoku Eighty 8 Queen from Japan in the second semifinal match of the 2007 VTV Cup. First serve is scheduled for 6 p.m. local time, 7 a.m. in New York.
St. John's advanced to the semifinals after upsetting the Southeast Asia champions and undefeated in VTV Cup action Banmiwittaya from Thailand, 3-0 (30-28, 25-16, 25-23). At the end of the first five days, the Red Storm has four players ranked in the tournament's best scorers list (No. 3 Huang, No. 11 Latoya Blunt (Vacaville, Calif.), No. 13 Patti Hardimon (Honolulu, Hawaii) and No. 29 DeMayo).
Huang is also ranked second in the tournament's best spikers list and Leszczynska is the tournament's No. 1 best setter thus far. The 2006 BIG EAST Libero of the Year is the tournament's No. 1 digger and libero, while being ranked second in the best receivers category. Hardimon is ranked No. 3 in that category as well.

The Mammoth Lakes Repertory Theatre this week announced its season, beginning Oct. 4 with ãThe Marvelous Wonderettesã and ending May 3 with a return of the Long Beach City College Studio Singers.
Between those shows are a host of productions in the theatreãs most ambitious season yet. ãWe are excited to be able to expand our season this year,ã said Shira Dubrovner, the artistic director.
ãTwo projects weãve done, ãTheatre for Young Audiencesã and ãEvening with the Stars,ã weãve not done together in the same season due to cost and staff restraints,ã Dubrovner said.
A totally random sampling of what Mammothites are reading, culled from here and there, appearing every now and then.
ãWhat a cute boy!ã said the stranger.
ãWho, me?!?!?ã Fido asked, blushing.
The stranger walked over to Fido, who was blissfully sitting under a table at last weekendãs ãMammoth Rocks/A Taste of the Sierraã festival in the Village. He was manning the booth for the paper.
ãAre you the dog in the paper all the time?ã she said.
ãThatãs me!ã Fido said, and he wagged his stump.
ãWant to hear a story?ã Fido said to the woman.
ãWhy, yes, Fido,ã she responded. ãI love stories.ã
Fido wormed his way from beneath the tableãnot an easy thing to do for a big, red, 80-pound chow mix.
ãToday weãre going to do some weather stripping,ã I said to Fido.
ãHey hey hey hey! I LOVE weather stripping,ã he said. ãItãs only just about my favorite thing in the whole wide world.ã
Fido paused.
ãWhatãs weather stripping?ã
ãItãs when you have an opening in a door or a window that you want to block. You see that small little sliver at the bottom of our door? Iãm going to fix that, and Iãm not going to buy a new door. Iãm going to fetch some weather stripping from the hardware store, install it, and things will be hunky-dory for the winter. No drafts this year, no siree.ã
On my bike ride home Friday afternoon, I needed to find a wine tasting partner for the weekend.
An unusual pattern has developed during this summerãs festival season.
The events start out under blue, beautiful skies, are interrupted by the usual thunderstorm and in the end, everyone has a fine time and goes home.
So it was last weekend when the Mammoth Festival opened with a wine walk in the Village on Friday night, and an evening of music at Samãs Woodsite on Saturday.
The star, Kenny Loggins, was just about the only star anyone could see as he strode on stage, what with the last vestiges of that afternoonãs rain clouds moving off.
Longtime Mammoth resident Bruce Torrence has a new book out, with a book signing at the Booky Joint scheduled for this weekend.
The book, ãThe Hollywood Canteen Where the Greatest Generation Danced with the Most Beautiful Girls in the World,ã documents Torrenceãs long relationship to the world of Hollywood, and most particularly, to the history of the famous canteen that served as a source of solace and entertainment for more than 3 million soldiers who were headed into the inferno of World War II.
Had enough music in the woods yet?
That would be, ãNo.ã
On the heels of Bluesapalooza two weekends ago and Latin music in the Village at the Margarita Festival (see P. 1), comes the Mammoth FestivalãWine, Music, Food & Art.
This is a Mammoth Mountain Ski Area event, and those people know how to put on a show. It all began last night on the ski hill with a five-course ãWinemaker Dinnerã at Parallax, and then continues tonight (Friday) at the Village, with live music by Berel Alexander during the Mammoth Mountain Community Foundationãs ãWine Walk.ã
"What do we have on tap today?" Fido wanted to know.

Kyrsten Sinema got tough on immigration with SB 1225
Monday, April 25th, 2011Don't take it from me….take it from David Morales who is a Democrat.
Kyrsten succeeded in getting tough on illegal immigration. She did it folks….this Democratic legislator pulled it off! She is now one of "them"…a tea party person and a politician who wants to get popular by bashing the immigrant. Senator Sinema is the same person who wrote the original language that gave Sheriff Joe Arpaio is powers because the originial bill she wrote was so poorly written.
Don't you love those Democrats who pretend to be the friend of the immigrant but boasts of getting tough on immigration? That's Sinema for you. We are not surprised though, she proclaims her love for Senator Russell Pearcce (who is the sponsor of SB 1070 – the harsh anti-immigrant law). You can hear her love for Pearce here.
From the AZ Republic.
Gov. Jan Brewer signed into law a proposal that would make it a felony to use forgery to rent or buy a home to be used as an immigrant-smuggling "drop house."
The bill signed on Monday by the governor would make the offense punishable by up to seven years in prison.
Drop houses are homes, apartments or motel rooms where immigrant smugglers hide their customers after they have crossed the border but before they are sent to destinations across the country.

And he blames it on the inversion.
"It's the worst winter yet," says the Eagle Mountain resident.
He and his wife run an animal rescue. So his job is to prepare food for animals inside while his wife takes care of the animals outside.
"It's been rough," he says. "I dread going out. but there are things that I've got to do."
O'Donnell who has lung problems relies on an oxygen tank to get through the day. Outside his Eagle Mountain home are nasty particulates in the air.
The inversion has been sitting outside his porch since Christmas.
His doctor says its aggravating his condition.
"I asked him how can I prolong my life and he says go to sea level where there's good clean air and it's warmer," says O'Donnell.
But O'Donnell can't afford such a move.
So he is stuck staying indoors while his wife takes care of the animals.
"Other states control pollution," he says. "I just think Utah should too."
Sunday, O'Donnell watched a national network television broadcast a story about Utah's inversion problems.
"Now that we've made national news people are starting to look at it more serious," he says.

The Green Lantern, one of metro Detroit's favorite old-school pizzerias, has opened its first Macomb County location in a former sports bar in Clinton Township.
The 150-seat Green Lantern Lounge at 15505 Fifteen Mile, between Hayes and Utica, opened Jan. 1 with no advertising, but word spread quickly. The wait for a table at dinnertime can be an hour or more. The public's reception has been "absolutely unbelievable," co-owner T.J. Spreitzer said this week.
Located in the former City Pub Grill, the restaurant features a dark green exterior and a deep, brick-red dining room decorated with grand chandeliers, ornate mirrors and black-and-white photos of the founding Vettriano family from decades ago. One especially striking photo is a portrait of Thomas Vettriano that hangs behind the bar.
He and his wife, Irene Vettriano, opened the original Green Lantern in Madison Heights almost 60 years ago. It's still family-run -- owned by their daughter, Marlene Spreitzer, and her children, T.J., John and Nicole Spreitzer. John owns the Green Lantern carryout in Royal Oak and is a co-owner with T.J. in the new Clinton Township restaurant. Nicole focuses on the business end of the family's operations.
The menu in Clinton Township is the same as the one in Madison Heights, except the larger kitchen allows the new location to offer more appetizers and sandwiches, along with square deep-dish pizzas.
For now, the brothers are still working out the expected kinks of a new restaurant -- and dealing with far more customers than they expected at this point, T.J. Spreitzer says. Soon, they hope to add happy hours, Trivial Pursuit nights and pizza delivery. They're also planning special events, including an official grand opening in February and a major St. Patrick's Day party. This spring, they'll open the doors to a 50-seat patio.
Hours are 11 a.m.-midnight Monday-Wednesday, 11 a.m.- 2 a.m. Thursday-Saturday, and noon-midnight Sunday. The kitchen closes a half-hour before closing time. (586-859-0500 andwww.greenlanternlounge.com)

Jeff James discusses plans Aug. 22 for his first year as Chester High School principal. Photo by Samantha P. Hawthorne |
Students of Chester High School will be welcomed into the 2013-14 school year by a new principal: Jeff James.
James has been an educator for 24 years, starting off his career as a history and social studies teacher. Desiring to make more of an impact on his students, he decided to continue his own education and, in 2003, he earned a Master of Science degree in education and administration from the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs.
The additional degree has allowed James to progress up the administrative ladder and obtain both vice principal and principal positions in several California schools. For the last three years, he served as principal for Cesar Chavez Middle School in Hayward and prior to that he held positions as principal and vice principal for the Twin Rivers Unified School District in Sacramento County. This year, however, will be his first year as a high school principal.
"I always knew I wanted to be a teacher," James said. Recalling his early education, he said, "A lot of my friends had challenges growing up that made things hard. The one constant in our lives was that we could always turn to the school.
"It was a place that was always safe and accepting, and you knew you could go there when you had a problem. I wanted to be able to provide that same type of service for students and my community, whether it is from an academic or socio-emotional standpoint. The way you can impact the greatest number is by going in education, so that is what I decided to do with my life."
James said that when the position opened up at CHS, he thought it was the perfect opportunity for him. He said he always imagined retiring in the mountains, but never imagined being able to work in a community like Chester.
"I wanted to give my kids the opportunity to grow up in a more pleasant and supportive environment," said James. He said living in the town of Pleasanton, although it is small in comparison to other cities in the Bay Area, did not offer that type of safety and comfort.
As for Chester, he said, "I am happy to be here and am looking forward to building a solid relationship with the community."
View on education
James has spent the last couple months getting to know the structure of CHS, and how well students have achieved academically over the years. "Chester High School has done an incredible job at meeting academic needs and our children are producing phenomenal results," he exclaimed.
Going into detail, he said that CHS is ranked an 8 out of 10 on the Academic Performance Index decile ranking system, which means the school outperforms 80 percent of the schools in the state of California. In addition to that, CHS scored a 10 in comparison to 100 similar schools in California, with only one other school holding a higher score. Due to the excellent standards already being met at CHS, he said he has not yet established a defined set of goals.
"We are already doing so many things well that I need to find what things we can sharpen. Because we are a comprehensive high school, there are always things that need improvement but until I have had an opportunity to see the school in motion, I cannot start planning where we want to go," said James.
He has, however, established a broad set of goals that include learning the culture of the school, making sure every student is getting a 21st-century education, and ensuring all students have their learning needs met. He said that one of his goals may include outranking the one school that scores higher than CHS in the similar school ranks.
"My job is to provide the environment structure that allows students to get the skills they need to be successful after they leave my school," James said.
"For different students, that will have a different meanings: Some will opt to go into the military — that is success; some will leave here and go into college — we need to make certain that they have the skills to leave high school and go into college; some students leave here and get a job to support themselves and start a family — we need to make sure they have the skills to allow them to do that.
"We are trying to meet a variety of different needs for a wide range of students. That is what is really fun at being in a high school — we get the opportunity to work with such a diverse population and it is very rewarding and satisfying to be able to help so many."
Changes for this year
Last year's budget crisis had many community members wondering what would become of the local schools. Teachers were given pink slips, and classes were at risk of being dropped.
James said that during a conversation with Plumas Unified School District Superintendent Micheline Miglis and prevention coordinator Bruce Mulligan, he was assured that the cuts they have already made at the district level will help keep the impacts away from the classroom as much as possible.
To help keep the budget in line, student handbooks are no longer being provided in print but rather are being offered in electronic format through the parent portal at pcoe.k12.ca.us. "It is a really small change that could have a great financial impact," said James.
The computers and printers in the library will be accessible to parents and students needing them. Hours have not yet been decided. Parents and students who do not yet have access to the portal should request registration information from the office.
Unlike in previous years, parents are invited to join the first day of school activities. Following the morning assembly, a coffee and donut reception will be held for parents wishing to meet teachers and staff. "This is (the parents') school too, let's open up our doors to them as well," said James.
Two teachers accepted positions at other schools. Due to a reduction in class sections, those positions will not be fully replaced.
Special education teacher Karen Lundgren retired after two years with the school. The position has not yet been filled but the school is in the process of rehiring.
Art teacher Anjanelle Weiher accepted a full-time position at Lassen High School. Paulette Stover, from Tennessee, has been hired to replace her sections in both Greenville and Chester. She had previously retired as a teacher in California and decided it was time to return.
Dave Tognotti is being welcomed back after resigning last year. His science position was eliminated; however, with the departure of a different teacher he was able to return to fill the vacated position.
Dave Bradley was rehired after retiring for a year. He will be taking on two periods of science.
Carol Bernard has been hired to take on additional responsibilities as a half-time counselor. She will maintain one period of English and also be doing three periods of counseling. Barbara Puhl has stepped down from counseling to work solely as the Plumas Academies teacher.
"Since we are getting fewer onsite classes we have had to add more to the online system. We will have to continue working that way until the economy balances out and we are able to increase our staff again," said James.
Some classes have been combined in order to make up for the loss. Fine arts and AP classes are still being provided and the school is still meeting state requirements in order to graduate its students. "Although we shrank sections, we are still able to offer a full selection of classes," said secretary Cheryl Henry.
Enrollment has remained steady and so far 190 to 200 students are registered.
Senior students who are on track to graduate this year will now be given the option to take only five periods of class per day, rather than the customary seven. Those who are behind on units will still be required to take the full seven periods.
This not only helps with administration efficiency but also allows students to take up employment or get a head start on college classes, and provides less work for those enrolled in extracurricular activities. "It's a win/win for both the students and the staff," said Nicole Peterson, registrar/attendance clerk.
James said, "With the leadership of our superintendent and support of our school board, we are working to make certain that all children receive the education that they both need and deserve."

Jennifer Connelly appears shockingly thin in jogging photos
Actress Jennifer Connelly appears to be wasting away.
The "Blood Diamond" star looked shockingly thin jogging through the Hudson River Park in New York this week.
Snapshots taken Thursday morning show an alarming gap between Connelly's upper thighs, prompting fans to worry if the actress is suffering from an eating disorder or simply exercising too much.
Nutrionist Majid Ali says 41-year-old Connelly "can't be more than 100 pounds," according to RadarOnline.com.
"She looks far too skinny and that's not attractive at all," Ali told the website. "It appears that she over-trains."
NutriFit CEO Jackie Keller said Connelly's legs "remind me of some of the recent Olympian runners that I watched on TV," according to RadarOnline.com.
Nutrionist Majid Ali says 41-year-old Jennifer Connelly 'can't be more than 100 pounds.'
Connelly's IMBD page describes her as an "outdoors person" who likes camping and hiking.
The actress was recently snapped toting 1-year-old daughter Agnes around New York, where Connelly grew up, on the back of a bicycle.
Connelly lives in New York with her husband, actor Paul Bettany, and their three children.

Don't miss a free and public conversation featuring Nation Books author Van Jones, presented by the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination and Massachusetts Fair Housing Center.
Why is government money, especially from the Commission Against Discrimination, being used to fund his hate speech. Van Jones had to resign from the Obama Administration because of his radical views.
Jones issued two public apologies in recent days, one for signing a petition that questioned whether Bush administration officials "may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen, perhaps as a pretext for war" and the other for using a crude term to describe Republicans in a speech he gave before joining the administration.

Some background: Most of you probably don't know this because I haven't talked about it much, but before I got involved with music on YouTube, I used to be a sample library programmer/producer (proof). A pretty good one. My products were given high star ratings and reviews in Electronic Musician magazine, Sound on Sound and elsewhere.
My first sample library release was so successful in fact that the Garritan company – makers of the Garritan Personal Orchestra, which is shipped with every single copy of Finale Music Notation software – flew me out to Seattle for a week-long interview. I was given the job, but unfortunately had to turn it down due to the amount of unforeseen traveling that would have been involved.
During my time working in the sample library field, I got to learn and collaborate with some very knowledgable music makers and music tool makers. I was an official product tester for Native Instruments. I was on a beta team for GigaStudio. But most importantly, I got to have regular phone calls with Tom Hopkins. Tom is the man behind the programming of the Garritan Personal Orchestra, which was an industry changing product when it was released.
Tom and I got into a number of discussions about composing, arranging, and performing music using nothing but sampled instruments. His feelings were strong that sample library technology had given us an opportunity to finally make music "perfect".
What's a sample library? Let me explain. Typically when you play a keyboard, you are hearing a synthesized (fake) sound. That sound resembles a piano, or a violin, or a harp, or a trumpet. But it is not a recording of any of those things, it is synthesized.
On the other hand, a sample library is an actual recording of every single note on any given instrument. The more expensive sample libraries include not just every single note, but also every single note played in a variety of ways (articulations), and at a variety of volumes (velocities (different velocities are important because some instruments change sound (timbre) dramatically when they are played softly compared to when they are played loudly).
So, when using a sample library, when you hit the A above middle C, you trigger an actual recording (or a "sample") of someone playing an A note on a violin (or any other sampled instrument you may be using). And most violin sample libraries aren't just recordings of random violin majors, no, national orchestras have been sampled, one player at a time, to build massive orchestral sample libraries. They are recorded in state of the art performance halls for reverb-baked-in libraries, or in professional isolation rooms for completely dry libraries that you can add your own 'verb to in post production.
SIDENOTE: The most impressive orchestral sample library is the Vienna Symphonic Library. A special facility was built in Vienna solely for the purpose of recording, editing and programming this library. The full library consists of 1,143,482 individual note recordings and costs $13,990 to purchase. The total package clocks in at 746 GBs of data. But it sounds amazing! ;)
Okay, back to the individual sample recordings…
Through the use of MIDI programming and a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation, like Logic, Cubase, ProTools, Sonar, et al.), you can actually control whether each note is bowed up on the violin, bowed down, sliding to the note from a higher note, sliding to the note from a lower note, playing the note harshly, playing the note gently, playing with vibrato, playing without vibrato. Some libraries even let you control which string the note is being played on.
Even if you're not a music composer, you can clearly see how powerful and revolutionary and… cool this technology is. You basically have a 100 piece orchestra dangling from puppet strings tied to your hands, mouse and keyboard.
You control all of the above with MIDI data. MIDI records and plays back a musical performance, but it's not an audio file. It's a list of commands. A single MIDI data file will tell your sampling software to play an A note, slid in to from a lower note, with vibrato, for two beats. That same data file will tell your sampling software how loud and hard to play the note, and will include any minute pitch bends or muting or other playing/performance cues you can think of. You get up to 127 different commands for each and every note on each and every instrument!
Want to learn more about MIDI? I made TWO separate VIDEOS about MIDI data a few years ago.
An additional benefit, because all this MIDI data is not an audio file, you can edit every single command independent of the others. Let's say I program in a perfect pitch bend, vibrato, volume and slide for my note, but then, "oops, that was supposed to be an A sharp, not an A!". No problem, I change just one of those 127 commands, and now all that perfectly programmed data plays back just the same, only now it's a recording of an A sharp, not an A.
If your mind's not completely blown right now, you're not human.
With all of this insane note and performance control, you could compose an entire original symphony, performed by a first-class orchestra, one note at a time, completely from your desktop. The resulting recording would be made up of thousands of individual actual recordings of individual notes, no synthesized sounds. And, most importantly for my friend Tom Hopkins… you could make it perfect. Not one mistake, not one early note, and zero "swing" on any of the notes.
Tom went on to mention some of the other exciting aspects. Composers could now write pieces that could never be performed before. Computers can play notes faster than any human ever could. Computers can sustain those faster tempos indefinitely. Computers could sustain notes longer than is physically possible in the world we inhabit. No longer would composers have to search endlessly for a virtuoso who could handle their works. Their computer could do it, just as easily as it could check their email for them. And given the recording quality of the individual sampled notes, very few would know the difference.
So is all this perfection really better than a human performance? Sure, humans make mistakes. Humans are not metronomes. Humans add swing to triplets and other note patterns. But is the alternative not stale? Is the alternative not… soulless?
This is the question I am currently struggling with as my band The Caulden Road begins production on our first album. Sure Christian and I can program in every drum and percussion hit. We could program in pianos and violins and choirs and harps and anything else that's ever been sampled. And it can be perfect. And it can sound like a million bucks. But will it still have life? Will it still have passion? Hiring choirs ain't cheap. And an orchestra won't fit in my office/home studio. And maybe perfect is what the modern music fan wants anyway. Quantized rhythm sections, pitch-corrected vocals.
It's just, something about it all might be too synthetic for me.
PS. Wanna hear a sample library in action? This is an original piece I composed and programmed using a "lite" version of the VIenna Symphonic Library mentioned above, along with a few sampled instruments from my own private collection I've produced:

Weapons Technicians maintain and repair weapons, weapons systems and ancillary equipment. They are members of the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Branch of the Canadian Forces. They also are responsible for the maintenance and repair of miscellaneous equipment such as scales, hydraulic lifts, locks and security containers, personal flotation devices, rebreathers, and equipment for heating, cooking and lighting in the field.
Weapons Technicians are primarily responsible for the maintenance and repair of the following equipment:
- Rifles, submachine-guns and handguns
- Machine-guns and non guided anti-tank weapons
- Sub-calibre adapters
- Training devices, including simulators
- Grenade projectors, mortars and launcher systems
- Light weapons and turret systems for armoured fighting vehicles
Weapons Technicians are employed at bases and stations across Canada and on deployed operations around the world. They experience the unique adventures and challenges that come with working in different environments. While on a base, they may be working in small spaces, like a workshop. In the field or on deployment they may work outdoors most of the time or in temporary accommodations.
The starting salary for a fully-trained Weapons Technician is $49,400 per year; however, depending on previous experience and training the starting salary may be higher.
Weapons Technicians who demonstrate the required ability, dedication and potential are selected for opportunities for career progression, promotion and advanced training.
The first stage of training is the Basic Military Qualification course, or Basic Training, held at the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec. This training provides the basic core skills and knowledge common to all trades. A goal of this course is to ensure that all recruits maintain the Canadian Forces physical fitness standard; as a result, the training is physically demanding.
After Basic Training, Army recruits go to a Military Training centre for the Soldier Qualification course for approximately one month, which covers the following topics:
- Army Physical Fitness
- Dismounted Offensive and Defensive Operations
- Reconnaissance Patrolling
- Advanced Weapons Handling
- Individual Field Craft
Weapons Technicians attend the Canadian Forces School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering in Borden, Ontario for 35 weeks. Through a combination of instruction, demonstrations and practical work, they learn the following subjects:
- Care and use of common and special tools and electrical test equipment
- Operation and principles of weapon systems
- Electricity and hydraulics
- Use of firearms, pyrotechnics and grenades
- Maintenance of small arms, mortars, recoilless rifles, towed field guns, and turret systems for armoured fighting vehicles
- Basic identification and handling of ammunition
- Alignment of sighting devices
- Test-firing weapons
- Knowledge of various ancillary equipment
- Basic Soldiering skills, including fieldcraft, rescue techniques and first aid and
- Operation of light armoured vehicles, armoured reconnaissance vehicles and armoured personnel carriers
Weapons Technicians are posted to a unit on a Canadian Forces Base for about 18 months of on-job training which resembles a civilian apprenticeship program.
Weapons Technicians may be offered the opportunity to develop specialized skills through formal courses and on-the-job training, including attending further technical training. At the end of this training phase, a Weapons Technician's trade knowledge, skills and experience are comparable to those of a civilian journeyman.
There is also the possibility of taking training to reach Supervisor and Manager levels. The Supervisor level course takes about 15 weeks, and the Manager level course takes about nine weeks.
As they progress in their career, Weapons Technicians who demonstrate the required ability and potential will be offered advanced training. Available courses include:
- High Security Containers and Locking Devices
- Leopard Tank
- GIAT Light Towed Howitzer
- M777 Medium Lightweight Towed Howitzer
The minimum required education to apply for this position is the completion of the provincial requirements for Grade 10 or Secondaire IV in Canada. Foreign education may be accepted.
This position is available for part-time employment with the Primary Reserve at certain locations across Canada. Reserve Force members usually serve part time at an Air Force Wing in their community, and may serve while going to school or working at a civilian job. They are paid during their training. They are not posted or required to do a military move. However, they can volunteer to move to another base. They may also volunteer for deployment on a military mission within or outside Canada.
Weapons Technicians serve with the Canadian Army. They are employed maintaining and repairing weapons, weapons systems and related equipment for military training and operations. When employed on a part-time or casual full-time basis, they usually serve at a military location within Canada
Reserve Force members are trained to the same level as their Regular Force counterparts. They usually begin training with their home unit to ensure that they meet the required basic professional military standards. Following basic military training and Soldier qualification, the home unit will arrange for additional training for specialized skills. Weapons Technicians attend the Canadian Forces School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering in Borden, Ontario for 35 weeks.
Reserve Force members usually serve part-time with their home unit for scheduled evenings and weekends, although they may also serve in full-time positions at some units for fixed terms, depending on the type of work that they do. They are paid 85% of Regular Force rates of pay, receive a reasonable benefits package and may qualify to contribute to a pension plan.

Awful blush. There is no pigmentation to it, more chunky sparkle than anything. The entire fitMe line is disappointing and this isn't a redemption product. A $3 Wet n Wild blush is literally 1000x better.
- Kaylee D.
Love it! I use it every day! And I love it! The only problem I had with it was the brush, its kind of scratchy. But They have other brush sets for like $3.00 at forever 21 that are accually very good for there price!
blush or highlighter
well this blush does not give any color what so ever so dot buy this and well if you would like to use it as a highlight it would better be used as that because all it is ,is shimmer but as a blush i give it a thumbs down
Lame, Maybelline Can Definitely Do Better
Maybelline had some other pressed powder blushes that were better quality than these. I am mostly unimpressed with the entire FIT ME line. I do love the variety of foundation/powder/blush shades that they have, but these blushes have GOT TO GO. They have very poor/sheer pigmentation and fall apart easily. Also, the brush that comes inside the packaging sucks but that's sort of expected... I feel like there are much better drugstore blushes out there. E.l.f. studio has great blush, and so does Milani and Hard Candy. CoverGirl cheekers are AMAZING and worth it, but Fit Me is not :(
its okay
not the best blush i have ever used, it didnt show up very well but when i put more on it turned out to be really good, a nice colour and it blends well. Other than the facts that i had to put loads on, its a good blusher xx
I got it for 5 bucks at the drug store (Walgreens) and it's pretty great. I recommend this to everyone cause the Fit Me! Is the perfect shade cause its not really stand out -ish and doesn't make you look like a clown... perfect for looking natural/casual, plus I like the brush that comes with it.
I got one couple of years back and the colour didn't show properly every time i used this blush. Less pigmentation but blends somehow. However i to had dab a generous amount on my cheeks to get the result. Its okay but not that great.
Not bad
This isn't too bad for a drug store brand. It could be more pigmented but it works for its purpose. It has very sheer coverage so you have to really use a lot to build it up to get the color to show up well.
its okay
I got this in the shade medium coral. I have to press my brush hard against the product to get it to transfer, I also have to pack it on. Once that's all done the blush really is pretty and looks great with my skin tone.
I have to pack on the color to get anything too noticeable when I use it alone. Lately I've been using a light sweep of the Light Rose underneath my Bare Escentuals All Over color in Pure Radiance which is a beautiful combination for someone with a very light complexion. It's kind of sad that I'm too pale for the colors that should complement my skin tone.

Mitt Romney has failed foreign policy debate when he dodged the draft and Vietnam War; Veterans don't trust Multiple Choice Mitt
Monday, October 8th, 2012Mitt Romney has failed foreign policy debate when he dodged the draft and Vietnam War; Veterans don't trust Multiple Choice Mitt, and it shouldn't be a surprise that Obama did better than Mitt Romney as it relates to veterans and how we feel.
From the Huffington Post:
Obama Leading Mitt Romney Among Veterans, 32 Percent Think Iraq War Ended Successfully: Poll
First of all, as a female veteran of the United States Armed Forces – I do not think Romney is qualified to attack Obama on his foreign policy
particularly when he dodged the draft. Romney avoided military service at the height of the fighting after high school by seeking and receiving four draft deferments according to Selective service records. Romney was of age to fight for our Country, but sought deferments instead.
As a veteran of the United States Air Force, and as a former female soldier of the Armed Services, I will not vote for Mitt Romney. How can a man who "claims" to love our Country seek deferments that prevented Romney fighting for her? For the record, I am supporting President Obama in 2012, and it will be my first time voting for a Democratic President ever.

Peru's prospects have never looked so good. But much work is needed if the economy is to maintain its recent momentum
In a year-end survey by polling firm Ipsos Apoyo, 45% of respondents said their family situation would be 'better/much better' in 12 months' time, while 41% said they expected things to be the same and only 7% said they would be worse off.

Randy, That's kind of a funny question. Not funny as in Ha Ha, but funny as in strange. It's a good question, but the problem is that people who use and build Beowulf clusters (being the informed, scientific type) do so for specific applications which very from cluster to cluster. These applications (which are the only real benchmark) very as to weather they are CPU limited or network latency or bandwidth limited, or limited by something else (like disk space or memory). That means if your going to run a generic benchmark on a cluster, you need to run benchmarks that test these components and let the user/developer weigh the different portions that they see as important. For cpu limited benchmark, there is tons of stuff, but I think the parallel POVRAY ray tracer is a common tool for comparison. For network latency, there are various versions of ping pong tests and such that can be used, and for bandwidth, well, you could just use ftp, although that's not really in context, because not to many parallel programs actually call ftp, but it should give you a rough idea. I'm by no means an authority on any of this, so maybe you can get some input from the people on the list who are more experienced. Like I said though, I'm sure a lot of them will give you the generic answer that the only true benchmark is your application.

Comments about Mountain Hardwear G50 Jacket - Men's - 2011 Closeout:
I like this jacket, mostly. But the cut is rather large and boxy, both in the shoulders and in the body. It's not an athletic cut, if that's what you're looking for. But its a nice red color, and is pretty durable and warm.
Best Uses
Comments about Mountain Hardwear G50 Jacket - Men's - 2011 Closeout:
This is a great jacket for the money. Light weight, warm, highly water resistant, soft lining, quiet, nice feel.
Best Uses
Comments about Mountain Hardwear G50 Jacket - Men's - 2011 Closeout:
I'm 5'9" 150lbs and the jacket fits perfectly. The jacket if fairly light weight and is pretty warm. While it could be defective, my jacket does not have an inside security pocket.
I would not wear this jacket running unless it was 20 degrees out or less.
Best Uses
Comments about Mountain Hardwear G50 Jacket - Men's - 2011 Closeout:
I like this jacket a lot. I bought the 2010 version in orange mainly for use on my SAR team, trainings or callouts for colder weather. I liked the jacket so much that I started wearing it casually and for recreational hikes in colder weather as well. I then decided I wanted to dedicate the orange one as SAR gear and get another one. So I just bought another one in black. For highly aerobic activities, like running in cold weather, I probably would not recommend. For hiking, etc, in colder weather I think it works. Pit zips would be a welcomed addition. I really like that the cuffs do not have velcro closure and instead have an inner neoprene like cuff that assures a nice comfortable fit. I like the high collar. When on a moderate hike with a heavier pack I will just wear a base layer under this jacket and zip or unzip the front zipper as needed. If not moving too much, a second layer is usually added under this jacket. Overall, I am pretty happy with the jacket. I have also worn it through some fairly rough brush and thick cover without any issues or tears and then one day caught it on the fence in my yard and got a very small tear. I was not happy, but 100% my fault and I don't feel anything to do with product durability.
Best Uses
Comments about Mountain Hardwear G50 Jacket - Men's - 2011 Closeout:
This jacket fits like standard Mountain Hardwear outerwear sizing, I like a loose fit so I went with XL. I'm 5'11", 180 lbs with lanky arms, so i was happy with XL. Most would say that is a bit long.
I took it for a run yesterday in a cool 40 degree weather with just a t-shirt underneath, I was a little disappointed my arms built up a lot of sweat 20 minutes into a 30 minute run at higher altitude (4.5k elevation & low humidity),pockets are the only venting. Too bad they didn't put pit vents, but I guess I'm missing the purpose of the jacket. Thus, I will probably only use it layered under a outerjacket in sub 30F weather or it is a nice looking jacket so I'll prob use it for going around town in moderate temps.
Maybe someboday has a better use and experience ?
Maybe it's meant for Sub 40F temps ? But I can't see how it disspated heat other than the pockets with mesh vents,which is a poor vent design IMHO.
Bottom Line: a little disappointed in it's performance for high aerobic activities in cool weather. Also the collar was a too "choking" and tight when running with it fully zipped, when zipped down the collar "flopped" which was more annoying.
I guess that's why it's on Sale ?!
A little disappointed in this Mount Hardwear product for performance, but it still "looks good" ; )
First MH product I haven't rated 5 stars.
