From the guys that brought us Beatbox Gunfight.
Note the WHOIS information for his rebuttal comment in the fog of derp post:
And the WHOIS info for the person "Poppy" who just responded to that comment:
LOL Rich, you may think you know something about firearms training, but you obviously know absolutely zero about computers and the internet . You just lost all credibility by responding to your own comment under a fake name.
If you're that insecure with your training methods that you have to type a page long rebuttal to my post, then try to be sneaky and agree with yourself under a different name, maybe it's time to quit posting on YouTube?
You can view the video below, and click on the link above to see the comments that were made about it:
For those that are not subscribed to the comments on that post, here's what he wrote tonight:
OK, OK, you guys can put your stones back into your old testament! I am Rich Graham, and I instructed the course every one is ripping apart. I'm not going writing back to engage in a pissing match, but I do want to clarify a few things. After reading all of your comments and watching from your point of view, I can see how what I was teaching these guys could be misinterpreted. It is very difficult to take and entire course and put it into a 1min-6min promo video, that is exciting to watch, but informative at the same time. There is just to much info and the guys in the course don't want to see a video of me just talking, they want to see clips of them doing the drills.
So, lets start from the top. Yes, I was a SEAL, class 236, and I did have an honorable discharge for those suggesting otherwise. In the beginning of the video I was talking about thought process that is proactive instead of reactive. Is it easier to block punches or throw them? Same concept.
The drills on muzzle discipline were the first drills of the day, done with no ammo on the range, all magazines in your bags, slide locked to the rear(if you look closely) and group buddy checks from everyone in the group, every time a new student was up. I would not do this drill with live ammo!
I'm glad everyone liked my break dancing, I thought I did it pretty good! Ha ha! Again this is out of context. I was demonstrating soft vs. rigid shooting stances. A shooter needs to be able to get bumped, bounced, tripped, etc. and be able to maintain his muzzle on the target at all times even as his body moves and changes under him. Think about it. A tank can lock onto a target and change directions, go over hills and bumps but the barrel stays locked onto the target at all times. This was not just break dancing to look cool on you tube I was teaching a very important lesson on gun control.
As for the stress courses that some guys find unrealistic, I don't know what to say there. Just a difference in training opinions I guess. I train Law Enforcement, Contractors, and civilians also. Needless to say if you where a Cop and you chased a guy two blocks, climbed three fences, at night in the dark and it came to an end breathing heavy in a hostage situation… that is NOT the first time to shoot tired, stressed, and under pressure. So lifting weights, running, crawling, multiple targets, etc. is how I try to put it together. One person asked "why would you crawl or who crawls in a gun fight" seriously? If you have not trained shooting from the prone position with a pistol your wrong. How many people carry concealed rifles? If you always have a pistol and you run into a situation and bullets are flying and you don't know where they are coming form your may want to get down!
With the spray paint, some of the guys got carried away at lunch. The course is serious but we like to have fun also. I am not hazing or running a militia by any means. We got rained on half way through the day so a few guys took there shirts off because every one was soaked. And the best for last the combat roll… I don't teach that ha ha one of the guys asked about it and if he could try it. I don't do that, some teach it in Systema, etc. but he did perform it safely so…. Yah I know maybe I should have left that out.
This response is becoming to long, I know you guys just brought up a lot of questions about my video. If you really want to know what the course was like or what people thought of it you could have, or can just go to my website tridentfitness.net and read the testimonials from the course. I have had over 30 SWAT Team operators from NJ, PA, DE, and MD tell me that this course was the best pistol training that they had received so that is why I am not taking offense to these remarks on your site. I truly believe if you had attended the course and had been taught the thought process and reasoning behind the drills you would view this video differently.
He also was butthurt enough to email me this:
Mike-I posted a reply to the less than respectful comments about my video.
In the future you may want to do a little more homework before throwing
someone under the bus like that. I don't know who the bloggers are or who
you are for that matter thats why I am not going to run my mouth or make
false statements about your club or your site. If you want to know more
about how and why I train the way I do all you had to do was ask.
Rich Graham
To which I responded to with this:
My goal wasn't to throw you (or any of the guys in the other vids I've made fun of) under the bus. The videos speak for themselves. I could have just put "presented without comment" under your video, and everyone would have pointed out the same things I did, in the comments section anyway.
I'm no one important, and I've never operated in any operations. I'm just a regular guy that happens to blog about stuff that amuses me, in an attempt to keep myself and the several hundred thousand people that stop buy the site every month entertained.
All the best,
His comments about the legitimacy of the training exercises was predictable. We have seen similar justification from other guys who's vids I've made fun of. I guess it's one of those things I'll never really understand because I'm not an operator.
Are you guys convinced by his response? Or are you still leaning more towards Derp?
UPDATE: see the Rich Graham – Tactical Internet Fail post after this one for some extra laughs
That guy really holds it down. You can tell he's running on pure adrenaline.
How's not having guns working out there? Not great by the look of it.

I don't know your location, so you can look for nearby repeaters here:

The OEM here is not the most organized I have worked with. But they are making progress. Six months ago they were talking up the use of FRS/GMRS by the teams but someone pointed out the license issue with full powered GMRS ( my license expires next month if I don't send the FCC a check) But the EMROG did not have GMRS gear! Their net is on 2m and I am pleased to say (I just learned this week) they now have a 70cm repeater as well. While it is not optimal I can use my Motorola for both GMRS and 70cm. What kind of irks me is the attitude some folks had when there was discussion about them getting some GMRS gear. Worse than caliber wars!

Also may want to check out radio reference and see if you can find a public safety frequency and plug it in in VFO mode and see if you hear anything to rule out the very rare possibility that you got a dud.
I can Rx from about 30-40mi away, Tx isn't quite so hot. But a ton varies on the quality the repeater and what you're using for an antenna.
All the CERT talk is interesting, never went the CERT route, but I'm finishing up a degree in Emergency Management, on top of some additional professional certifications. All very like minded.

You could still be out of range. One of the repeaters in Houston sounds great but I cant hit it with my radio from my home. Also you may need to find out what tone code they are using and if you are transmitting with the correct offset for the repeaters.

One easy way to tell if it is a tone issue is to ride the tail of another transmission. If they can hear you before the repeater drops then it is a tone issue. Not the best etiquette but a good test.

Mainly anxiety - and the triggers can vary, and even be unconscious. Other than that, I know little about them.
Stress,Anxiety,and Chemical Imbalances in the brain causing your adrenal gland to produce more adrenalin.

Usually they're brought on by a condition called Agoraphobia (Fear of Open Spaces)

I've have them frequently because I inherited them from my mother's side of the family. I've been on meds for them.
talking to cute guys, i stop breathing a for a few seconds. sadly true story
idk where they come from. Most times it's just out of no where and the more you think about them, the worse they get. I believe if no one had ever given me a name for them I may have ignored them and been able to move on, seems the moment someone said "it's an anxiety attack/panic attack........ that's when I was ruined forever. I hope you find a solution.
You may have a chemical imbalance in your brain . Sometimes they can go away, but you may need meds. In my case I had to deal with it for almost four years. Stress can cause them or can cause the imbalance. Sometimes things can get worse , like slipping into a deeper depression , even if you dont feel depressed. The winter months are always the worst for most people .Good luck
I have panic attacks because my brain reacts to stimuli way, way out of proportion. Little things remind me of big, bad, scary things. The association sends me into a tizzy.

But I don't know why you have them. They do self-perpetuate, though.
There are numerous reasons why they can happen. Stress is a big reason why I get them.

David Moulton: Muschamp, Gators could become the 2013 Missouri Tigers next season
NAPLES - I've got to hand it to University of Florida Athletic Director Jeremy Foley. He's doing what's hard, not what's easy.
It would easy and popular to fire Will Muschamp after this debacle of a season. One that will end with an expected rout at the hands of their most bitter rival, Florida State, on Saturday.
At home.
What's hard is sticking to a plan when you are convinced it is right, yet the plan is not working.
We have no idea if Foley is being stubborn and foolish, or dedicated and brilliant. What we do know is that he's putting his job and legacy on the line.
It would be easy to paint a doom and gloom picture for the Gators in 2014. In fact, I have been chastised by many a Gators fan for being too negative about their football program leading up to and during the early parts of this season. Sorry, I turned out to be right. They just don't have a lot of talent on offense, and what little they have is not being coached up very well either.
Instead, let me spin a scenario that is just as likely to happen next year as anything else. Why can't Florida in 2014 be the Missouri of 2013?
A year ago Mizzou went 5-7. The Tigers were devastated by injuries, including losing their talented, experienced junior quarterback James Franklin for most of the year. They played a tough schedule — the SEC East, plus Alabama at home and at Texas A&M. The nonconference schedule was not full of cupcakes either, with home games against Arizona State and Syracuse and a trip to UCF.
Just a few years earlier, head coach Gary Pinkel had the Tigers ranked No. 1 in the country heading into the Big 12 Championship game. But he entered 2013 on the hot seat.
See the similarities? The injuries, especially at quarterback. The tough schedule. Win or else?
Well, Missouri is 10-1 entering Saturday's home finale against Texas A&M, ranked fifth in the country. The team is largely the same one that got beat up last year.
How did this happen?
First, Pinkel took stock in his approach and made some changes. He promoted an offensive assistant to offensive coordinator, reassigned an assistant to work directly with the quarterbacks, and brought in a longtime SEC coach to work with the wide receivers and help with recruiting some new skill players.
Second, the Missouri players were embarrassed, and vowed losing would not happen again. It also helped that, except losing Franklin to a shoulder injury for a few games, the team stayed relatively healthy.
Couldn't you see all of these scenarios playing out for the Gators next year?
1. Embarrassed team forges close bond and plays with a chip on its shoulder.
2. 2013 saw rampant injuries, 2014 has many fewer. It usually works out that way.
3. Muschamp promotes Joker Phillips, who had success as offensive coordinator at Kentucky, or hires Lane Kiffin as offensive coordinator.
4. Muschamp changes his approach toward coaching the quarterbacks.
5. Muschamp brings in a fresh face on the offensive staff to get more out of the young wide receivers.
As for going 10-1 heading to Tallahassee next year? That's going to be tough. Then again is it far-fetched to see Jeff Driskel return from injury, a la Franklin of Missouri, and lead Florida to a nice bounce back season with some help, if needed, from hotshot freshman Will Grier (a la redshirt freshman Matty Mauk for Missouri)?
Missouri's only two SEC wins last year were Kentucky and Tennessee. Florida only beat Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkansas in the SEC this year.
Missouri lost to Georgia, South Carolina, Florida and Vanderbilt in 2012. Florida lost to Georgia, South Carolina, Missouri and Vanderbilt in 2013.
Hmmm ...
A year ago, Gary Pinkel was the SEC coach most likely to be fired in 2013.
Will Muschamp will hold that honor next fall.
That's a lot in common.
These are dark times, Gator Nation. It will get even darker Saturday.
However, if the Tigers could turn it around, why not Florida?
All Will needs to do is channel his inner Missouri.
After all, it is the "Show Me" state.

You Can Now Choose Your Own Room At Thistle Hotels
You know the feeling. You're checking into a hotel, maybe a little late. You get into the elevator a little wary. You emerge onto your floor, hoping that the room won't be directly opposite the elevator door, or that it won't be overlooking a rubbish dump, that it won't be a disabled room if you don't need it – hey, you might even be hoping for a particular layout or color scheme, we won't judge.
Well, UK chain Thistle Hotels wants to quell your anxiety with its new "Choose Your Own Room" service, being trialed at its London Euston property. They reckon that 48% of British hotel guests have asked to change rooms before (this being Britain, we reckon that means at least another 48% have wanted to ask but felt too impolite to do so), and 40% feel some kind of anxiety about getting saddled with a dud pre check-in.
With Choose Your Own Room, you can, unsurprisingly, choose your own room, with 360-degree virtual tours of available rooms, so you can pick the one you want. According to the Telegraph, who gave it a whirl:
After booking a room at the Thistle Euston, guests are sent an email granting online access to the hotel floor plan. On a Wednesday night, I was given the option of picking between five different rooms available over two floors in my price category. There were also photos for each room, including a 360-degree interactive "tour".
The photos included views and different color schemes, in order to pick the exact one you want. Which is almost more anxiety-inducing, in a way – what if you pick the wrong one?

Is The Conrad Concierge App Really That Cool?
A few years back, Conrad released a special mobile application that was supposed to make it easier to connect with the hotel for special needs like their pillow menu or room service.
We had the opportunity to play with the tweaked and updated app at a recent stay in Chicago and we're pretty excited about it.
Right from our mobile phone (or iPad, if we wanted), we could access as much info about the property as we could from the in-room compendium. But the real magic was exposed on our way home from a night out in River North.

How To Do Hotel Technology The Right Way, By NH Hotels
Not Vegas. A lobby
With hotels piling in to chase the millennial dollar, it's reassuring to see one brand going back to what hotels always used to do to get clients – pile on the superlatives.
After three months of work and millions of euros, NH Hotels have just reopened the NH Collection Madrid Eurobuilding (definitely not a millennial name), now the biggest hotel for the brand. NH may not be a big deal to American ears but they're one of Europe's most reliable brands, treading the line between business and boutique quite impeccably (also, delicious toiletries, if you ask my mum). Anyway, this is the flagship property for the NH Collection brand, and it's pushing the boundaries of hotel technology. Basically, they have what we're looking for in a hotel down pat:
Well-equipped rooms: "Brilliant Basics" is the name for the thinking behind the room design. All 431 rooms have specially commissioned mattresses, rain showerheads, Nespresso machines, professional hairdryers and "next generation LED" TVs.
VIP level if you want it: If you stay on the "five star floor" you get access to the VIP lounge, too.
All the services you need, plus fun extras: Spa, fitness center, event spaces, rooftop solarium with a fake beach, two fine-dining restaurants (including DiverXO, Madrid's only three Michelin-starred restaurant), a lounge and a sushi bar.
Fashion-forward technology: An LED vault screen (the largest in Europe, and the largest in the world for hotels) in the lobby projects digital art and "special sound" across the lobby. Think the Fremont Street Experience in Vegas, but in a hotel lobby. Insanity!
Cutting-edge tech: Here's the really interesting part – there are four "Living Lab" bedrooms (plus communal areas) that are trialing the latest hotel tech – not just wireless mobile charging, but tablets providing a video link to reception for when you need to ask a pressing question. The Living Lab isn't just about hotel guests – it's apparently an initiative to "identify and encourage entrepreneurial talent by fostering pioneering projects in the hotel industry". They will be running contests and promoting hotel tech-related start-ups. We dig.

Why We're All 'Meh' About Marriott Hotels' New Wireless Chargers
Last week, Marriott International was fined $600,000 by the FCC for jamming up guests mobile WiFi hotspots at the Gayord Hotel in Nashville (a Marriott entity), thus forcing guests to join the hotel's network and pay the ridiculous WiFi fees. This week, Marriott wants to win back some love by announcing that a whopping 29 Marriott hotels will sport wireless charging stations for guests to charge their devices on.
We heard the news the other day and we were just like, well, this:
The gesture is appreciated, especially since it came about from a survey of real travelers on Marriott's TravelBrilliantly.com platform, meaning that Marriott is really listening to what guests want. And we've all been there when we roll up into a hotel and our phone dies. Or we forget our charger completely.
We can also respect the type of charging stations being used--a KS Portable from Kube Systems which uses the Qi wireless charging technology. Simply place your device, whether it be an iPhone or a Galaxy so long as it's equipped for wireless charging, on one of these black cubes and voila! You're charging. Up to six devices are allowed too.
But let's be real, it's hard for us to get excited about charging our devices in a hotel that is charging us for WiFi.
UPDATE: A publicist for Marriott Hotels wanted to clarify that WiFi is free in the lobbies at Marriott Hotels.

Can Premier Inn Reinvent Itself As The Hub Of Tech-Friendly Hotels?
A tech-friendly hotel that accepts reservations by app? Snooze. A tech-friendly hotel that only accepts reservations by app? Now that's something we're not sure anyone's dared try before. Except there's probably a reason for that.
Next month, budget UK chain Premier Inn launches a new brand, hub, with a flagship hotel opening in St Martin's Lane, central London. It's another millennial-friendly idea – aiming "to catch the imagination of guests who already rely on technology for many other aspects of their everyday lives". Technology is going to play a central part – or, rather, the new hub by Premier Inn app will.
You'll check in via the app, of course; then during your stay, you can control the TV channel, the room temperature or the lighting by using the app. You can use it to order food to pick up downstairs, and stream entertainment on the 40in TV. And for when you venture outside, the app contains a "detailed local area guide, hosting a careful edit of the hottest places" (more millennial speak, there), and even "is enhanced by an Augmented Reality experience in the room". Not sure what that means. Not sure we want to.

Botlr, The Hotel Robot, May Be Coming to a Hotel Near You
Named for its purpose and state of mind, Botlr, the robotic servant is currently at the tail end of a test run at the Cupertino Aloft in California. We told you all about Botlr last month but in case you need a refresher, here's how he/it works:
After receiving a request that needs to be delivered, such as a snack or small amenity, a hotel employee programs the robot by hitting a few buttons. Botlr then uses the hotel Wifi to interact within the hotel and perform tasks, such as calling and directing the elevator to a specific floor. It is programmed with a mapping system that allows it to navigate through the property, the exact same technology used by Google's self-driving cars. Cameras help it avoid obstacles and real people.
When it arrives, it uses a signal to call the room telephone and alert the guest. Sensors allow Botlr to recognize when the door is opened and lift the lid on its storage container. And instead of being silently pressured into giving a tip, guests can enter a review for Botlr on its flat panel display screen. If it's a positive review, the Botlr will do a little dance. Well, that solves our problem of not having enough cash on us.

The Mother of All Virtual Tours is Now Making Its Way Around the Country
About a month ago, our bro Jaunted wondered aloud whether virtual reality could make waves in the travel industry, allowing people to be mentally transported to destinations around the globe without physically leaving their home cities. We've thought about this very same concept in the form of hotels and online virtual tours as a way to experience properties before booking.
This morning, Marriott unveiled the mother of all virtual tours, a piece of technology it calls "The Teleporter," a virtual reality machine that allows people to "tour" some of its hotels in the States. The Teleporter made its public debut at the Marriott in New York. It will remain there for five days, then take off for the rest of its eight-city tour to its properties in Boston, DC, Atlanta, Dallas, San Diego, San Jose, and San Francisco.
Judging from the early reports, Marriott didn't cut any corners when developing the technology. A journalist from Wired had great things to say about the experience, noting that "pumps embedded in the floor, misting nozzles in the walls, heater blowers in the ceiling, fans in the ceiling and floor, a scent dispenser, and a 1000-watt amplifier all deepen the feelings of immersion. When you land on the beach, the pumps in the floor create the feeling of a cushioned landing, and you feel 80-degree warmth, a sea breeze, and ocean mist."

See Ya Smartphones: Apple Watch Will Let You Unlock Your Hotel Room Door
At the start of the year, we were raving about how Starwood Hotels was piloting a program for Starwood Preferred Guests members to use their smartphones to open hotel room doors. Recently, we heard that Marriott International, which already allows its guests to check-in and check-out via smartphone, was working on smartphone room entry as well.
But all that effort just got a little more complicated now that Apple has unveiled the Apple Watch, which will do the exact same thing.
During Apple's keynote today, it was revealed that the watch is partnering with Starwood's app to open room doors. Surely, the technology won't be limited to just Starwood, so we fully expect this to branch out to other hotel brands.
As with the smartphone room entry, two things need to happen in order for the doors to actually open. First, the doors themselves need to equipped with
RFID technology the technology that Apple Watch will be using which is NFC/Bluetooth (which was actually in place in a hotel in Sweden in 2010.) Most new hotels are built with RFID technology so that you simply hold your key card up to the door and it unlocks. (Here's what it looks like.)
But a lot of older hotels, even ones from a few years ago, will need to updated. And that costs money.
Second, the hotels need to create their app which is also a big investment. And because not everyone will fork out $350 for the Apple Watch when it hits stores later this spring, hotels will still need to keep up with their smartphone apps. Oh and don't forget the masses of people who still love the old room keys. (For another reason why the technology won't be universal, read the second comment below.)
We're not saying watch and smartphone entry are impossible. We truly believe it's going to happen and will happen quickly but it won't be universal.
Will you open your hotel room door with the AppleWatch? Sound off in comments below!

As We Forge Ahead into the Mobile World, We're Still Madly in Love With Hotel Keys
Let he among us who hasn't found an old key in their wallet and smiled cast the first stone.
Now that we're living in a world with electronic wristbands, mobile check-in, and smartphones that act as room keys, an honest question comes to mind: Are we getting closer to the death of the room key as we know it?
Sounds dramatic, but it's not that unrealistic to assume that we'll see our first "keyless" hotel within the next couple years. Environmentally and practically, it might not be the worst of ideas. But let us be the first to say that we would be terribly saddened to check into a hotel and not receive a key.
Sure, some are more elusive than others and tend to disappear easily. And yes, others are blatant advertisements for Domino's. But more often than not, hotel keys are unique mementos of the experiences we have at hotels, many artfully designed and immediately recognizable. A casual hotel goer may not notice one here and there, yet over time, as you see more and more of them, you begin to appreciate the ones that stand out from the crowd.

You Can Now Check-In to The Ritz-Carlton From Your Phone
We've been keeping tabs on all the Marriott International hotel brands that have been rolling out the option of checking-in via their respective apps and now, Ritz-Carlton Hotels can be added to the list.
The luxury brand's newest app includes the options of doing both check-in and check-out, as well as folio reviews, exclusive local content, special offers, food and beverage orders (at select hotels), and most interesting, real-time service requests.
Ritz-Carlton is already pioneering this function at The Ritz-Carlton, Naples, in Florida where guests can make food and beverage requests while at the pool. The order is sent from the guest phone to the bar and is fulfilled right away. That means you don't have to lay in your lounge chair, meekly calling, "Miss? Miss? Sir? Sir?" while servers fly by you, unaware that you'd like another margarita.
The app will also introduce a shareable "Travel Poster" feature on October 1. In short, it will be Ritz-Carlton's own version of Instagram where guests can pretty up their photos with retro-style special filters, titles and stamps. The photo will then be shared across social media or else, saved to the phone's camera roll. Start gathering your witty Ritz-Carlton hashtags now.

The Verdicts Are In For Peninsula Paris, And They're Mixed
It's been open a full two weeks now, and although we haven't quite found the $1000 to stay at Peninsula Paris (give us another week or 500), others have – and a newspaper has checked it out too. Here's what they say about the $999,000,000 project.
The 26 TripAdvisor reviews are mixed, leaning towards the negative – though a good tranche are from people who've just eaten, rather than stayed at the hotel.

Lovecraftian alphabet
The Lovecraftian was invented by Simon Whitechapel to be used in a forthcoming sequel to David M. Mitchell's Lovecraft tribute The Starry Wisdom. It's intended for transliterating the Roman alphabet.
Notable features
- Voiced plosives and fricatives are distinguished from unvoiced by use of a dot, but all other consonants, including 'c', have a unique form.
- Vowels are based on star patterns
- Punctuation marks are placed at the beginning of sentences.
- There is no distinction between upper and lower case.
Lovecraftian alphabet
Sample text in the Lovecraftian alphabet
I am forced into speech because men of science have refused to follow
my advice without knowing why. It is altogether against my will that I
tell my reasons for opposing this contemplated invasion of the antarctic.

Is it worth it to become a dental hygienist?

Dental in Newark, New Jersey
36 months ago
I have a BS in biology and am currently attending my first semester for a master's (as a non-matriculated student) in biomedical sciences. My ultimate goal is to become a dentist, but I am torn between continuing this master's or going back to undergrad and getting a BS in dental hygiene. I think the master's will help me get into dental school more than hygiene, but in the unfortunate case that I never am accepted into dental school (I'm going to be 27 next week...I think I'm already so old to go to professional school), then I was thinking that being a hygienist may be a back up plan for me since the master's is not very practical in any job market. I am already accepted to the accelerated hygiene program at UOP in CA, but that means I will be over $100k in debt by the end of the program (no federal assistance since I already have a bachelor's) and as I was looking through various job searches, there does not seem to be a very strong need for hygienists right now, which make me question the outlook in the future. Also, I've been reading forums and it does not seem that hygienists are very happy with being a hygienist.
Any help is much appreciated!
Oh, and I'm a male by the way...since I know that females completely dominate the field of dental hygiene. Maybe harder for me to find a job?

Ah... so $100k for accelerated dental hygiene program. That's NUTS! Do you know how long it will take you to pay that off, even if you are employed?
You can do so much with a BS in biology. If you are already in a program for a master's, you must be pretty good with your studies. The possibilities are endless for you; why don't you consider more options in the health field?
By the way, I'm happy being a dental hygienist. I think a lot of the unhappiness of being a dental hygienist has to do with being stuck in an abusive/toxic workplace (which is not exclusive to just the dental hygiene field) and/or working full time (mental/physical fatigue and physical injury).

Cerritos College grad in Placentia, California said: Ah... so $100k for accelerated dental hygiene program. That's NUTS! Do you know how long it will take you to pay that off, even if you are employed?
That's a big reason why I'm reconsidering what my options are. The price tag is crazy for the short amount of time I'll be there, and I don't know if the pay off is even worth it. My BS in biology is pretty useless if I don't want to do research. I'm not too fond of research, and there are very few good jobs out there that where I can use my degree. I applied to jobs for two years, and received one interview where I was competing with 400 other people for 2 positions. I was using my RDA license during and after I graduated undergrad, but I can't do that for the rest of my life. I see that you've graduated from Cerritos...I know that it can get pretty competitive because it's cheap there. If you don't mind me asking, how is your pay at the office you work for? Is it full time or part time? I'm from Orange County, and wanted to work in socal or the SF bay area, but the job market for hygienists seems pitiful. To add to that, it seems like a lot of hygienists get burnt out so quickly. I know it can be tedious work, but I'm debating if the $100k is worth it. My grades in undergrad are far from stellar, so it makes me worried about getting into dental school, and I need a backup plan.

I might not answer your questions but want to address hygienists not being very happy with being a hygienist. My friend works for AADCOMS from Temple DS and I've seen him talk to MANY students in your position. I know you chose biology as your major because that's the major dental schools recommend for pre-dent students, but if you ultimately want to be a dentist, dental schools will not be impressed by the dental hygiene route. You got rejected for either a low DAT or non-stellar GPA and all it takes is to get a good GPA in your MS program and you will get in. If you really want to do dental, complete your program.

Do not go into dental hygiene. There are very few jobs available now and most are part time only with NO benefits (not even sick days. You call out sick and you do not get paid and might even get replaced!)! Good, nice to work for dentists are hard to find. And in a bad economy the first thing people do is STOP getting their teeth cleaned and you end up laid off cause the dentist has to take over the cleanings since the patient load is lower. Try nursing or anything else!

Its funny that several of you mentioned nursing. One person mentioned that be a RDH is similar to being a nurse- I must tell you, I hate being a nurse. I have my BSN, and the same issues are arising for nurses, easily replaced was mentioned, the value on an experienced nurse is gone it seems. Hospitals would rather hire a brand new graduate for 1/3 less the salary... They may be saving money, but, ultimately they are sacrificing patient care. And, if you desire to move forward, the requirements have changed.... Previously, a BS in Nursing was sufficient, if you had the requisite experience, to obtain a MS in Nursing and practice as an ARNP... no longer the case, now they wants ARNP's to hold a Doctorate? However if you compare the educational outlines, all they have done is add one year, making the program three years in length (FT) however the courses you complete in that third year, have NOTHING to do with the practice of an ARNP, they are related to informatics (this particular course, also available as a MS in Nursing concentration might be nice for the person who obtains the job, but you now the enemy of every nurse in the building, they strive to INCREASE patient ratios etc...)
exp in Massachusetts

r.i(h....Many, the majority in my opinion in the DH field have a hard time even finding "20 hours" weekly that is set and the pay in going down in many areas....even if as a Nurse you receive less hourly pay you receive "BENEFITS" wh/ for us is a needle in a haystack. To train and pay the outrageous amount of money for DH now....as for younger people getting the job for half the pay....it's sad that it has come to cut-throat , etc. to obtain employment. This is where you might, since you are in Nursing, look to your union...btw, RDH's DON'T have this or ever will because of the Dr.'s . ADHA has not helped us as a profession to put any legislation in effect....if they did and we had something to lean on for work related issues their membership would be up...until they can do for us...many don't even have the money to pay for membership...so....training in the DH field now....don't think employment is readily there.

I have a special application (use) which requires the camera to be permanently fixed at infinity focus. Is there a way to defeat the Autofocus on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX150? This would serve to decrease the shutter lag time and increase battery life. Some cameras, depending on the focusing technology used, can be fixed at infinity by simply covering a sensor port with tape, or the like.
Answered by nilufer 2009-04-08:
You can cover the sensor with a tape or you can just off the sensor in the menu

Satellite Sentinel Project Documents New Eyewitness Reports and Visual Evidence of Mass Graves in SudanJul 14, 2011
The Satellite Sentinel Project (SSP) has revealed visual evidence of mass graves in South Kordofan, which corroborates new eyewitness reports, obtained by SSP, of systematic killings and mass burials in this conflict-torn region of Sudan. The evidence found by SSP is consistent with allegations that the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and northern militias have engaged in a campaign of killing civilians.
Jul 13, 2011
While the Republic of South Sudan celebrates independence as the world's newest nation, the rest of Sudan remains a chronically unstable state which requires a new international strategy to avert further bloodshed, according to the latest report from the Enough Project, "Rethinking Sudan After Southern Secession."
Jul 7, 2011
As South Sudan's Independence Day on July 9th approaches, the international community is focusing on the birth of its newest nation. Media outlets from around the world are covering this historical event. As a tool for journalists who do not have extensive background knowledge on the subject, the Enough Project has created this brief contextual overview on South Sudan and its related issues.
Jul 6, 2011
On July 9, the historic day that South Sudan becomes an independent nation separate from the rest of Sudan, Youth United for Darfur -- the Chicagoland coalition of high schools and colleges working together for peace and education for the people of Darfur -- will hold its inaugural Walk with Darfur. The walk will take place on Saturday afternoon in downtown Chicago, in conjunction with the Sudanese Community Association of Illinois' celebration of the independence of South Sudan.
Jul 6, 2011
The Satellite Sentinel Project has identified an apparent convoy of Sudan Armed Forces vehicles and towed artillery, stretching over two kilometers and consistent with an infantry unit of at least regiment size -- equal to approximately 1,000 troops -- in Kadugli, capital of Sudan's conflict-ridden border region of South Kordofan. The apparent convoy is pointed north, although its origin, destination and total length remain unknown.
Jul 1, 2011
The Satellite Sentinel Project (SSP) has released imagery revealing that the Government of Sudan has positioned four vehicles consistent with multiple-rocket launcher (MRL) systems at a recently reinforced base within 65 kilometers of the tense border region of South Kordofan. The rocket launchers, consistent with BM-21 Grads, have a range of 20 kilometers and are capable of launching a hail of 40 rockets in a single volley.
Jun 30, 2011
The Satellite Sentinel Project (SSP) has documented visual evidence corroborating published reports that the Government of Sudan has bombarded ten towns and villages in the Nuba Mountains region of South Kordofan. Satellite imagery and photographs of attack aircraft corroborate multiple reports of a campaign of shelling and aerial bombing by Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) which has allegedly displaced tens of thousands of civilians since June 7.
Jun 20, 2011
Unless the United States approach toward Sudan changes on multiple fronts, increasing violence in Sudan will become an international conflict that could threaten the wider stability of the region and will continue to cause new levels of human suffering, said a group of anti-genocide and human rights organizations.
Jun 17, 2011
The Senate Armed Services Committee set aside $35 million to fund a strategy for eliminating the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), Central Africa's most brutal militia, and rebuilding communities affected by their campaign of violence.
Jun 16, 2011
As a deterrent against escalating violence in Sudan, especially that caused by aerial bombing campaigns, the Obama administration should ramp up an array of new financial sanctions aimed at the heart of the Sudanese regime's military-industrial complex, and immediately begin preparations to provide air defense capabilities to the Government of South Sudan when it becomes independent, said the Enough Project.
Jun 15, 2011
The international community must acknowledge that an undeclared war is now beginning between North and South Sudan says Sudan Now, a group of anti-genocide and human rights organizations.
Former Prosecutors and State Department War Crimes Officials Affirm Satellite Sentinel Project Findings of Apparent War Crimes in AbyeiJun 1, 2011
A bipartisan group of former civilian and military officials has affirmed the Satellite Sentinel Project's (SSP) analysis of visual evidence that the Government of Sudan allegedly committed war crimes during its occupation of the disputed region of Abyei.
Exclusive: Photos Show Deliberate Destruction of Banton Bridge, Abyei Town's Key Link with South SudanMay 30, 2011
New photos provide evidence of the deliberate destruction by Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) of Banton Bridge, Abyei town's primarily link with Southern Sudan. Abyei is currently being occupied by the SAF and northern-aligned armed militias.

We have been working on this for a few years. There are many people that need to stay warm off the bike but with a limited power supply, we had to design the Base Layer to work with the 7.4 volt battery. Limited to 5.4 amps, we had to balance heat and time and weight. The greater the voltage, the greater the weight for the amps you need because as you increase voltage you increase the need for more amps. More amps, again, more weight. Then to get good heat with a battery that you can carry, you need to focus the heat. but then if you try to use more voltage, such as a car or a power supply off the main power, you get too much heat. We have solved that problem with our new Base Layer Heat-troller.
Ordering may seem complicated and may be I should have done this differently.
Choice 1 is the base layer only for those who already have purchased before.
Just select the Size and that is it.
Choice 2 is the base layer for use only on 7.4V to 9V.
You select the base layer size, then the battery. With it you get a 7.4V controller, an extension cable to go from the base layer to the battery, battery charger and a battery belt pouch.
Choice 3 is the base layer for use with all voltages between 6.8 and 18V.
You select the base layer size, then the battery but from the second battery group, and the base layer 12V kit. You get the New Single Remote Heat-troller, 7.4V 5.4amp battery, charger, the extension cable and Battery Belt Pouch. The Optional 12V kit includes the following: 12V Battery Harness, 12V adapter cable, car power plug cable.
You can order more batteries.
if this is too complicated, let me know
The base layer has 7 areas of heat. The chest, upper arms, neck, upper back and lower back.
Has connections at the end of the sleeves for gloves or glove liners that will be coming out.
With our new remote heat-troller, it can take power from our 7.4volt battery or a 12volt source, from 6.8 volts to 18 volts with only a designed increase in watts.

1 recommendation
Preventing users from running legal software of their own choice on the connection they pay for has always been a network neutrality violation. The fact that the industry has gotten away with this abuse for so long does not make it right.
Network neutrality means not discriminating by the origin/destination or content of packets.
2 recommendations
But I have read over and over again on this supposed forum that bandwidth costs ISPs nothing.
4 recommendations
To make it clear Google has absolutely waffled on their original network neutrality principles, and there's plenty to criticize the company for on that front, starting with their decision to work with Verizon to gut real neutrality protections for wireless.
..I wish this site would be the way it used to be, where it reported news, and not just opinions.

Why is everyone here agreeing that businesses should pay more?

Energy Harvesting
Energy harvesting is the use of ambient energy to power small electronic or electrical devices. The energy that is all around us, ready to be accumulated and stored for later use, is found in the form of thermal, light (solar), RF, and mechanical energy. Energy harvesting is an ideal substitute for batteries, where they are impractical or expensive and hazardous to replace.
Typical harvestable energy levels are:
|Office Lighting
Outdoor (Sun)
|up to 100 µW / cm²
up to 100 mW / cm²
Industry (Machine)
|4 µW / cm³
800 µW / cm³
|Thermal Energy
|25 µW / cm²
up to 1mW / cm²
|RF Waves
|1 µW / cm²
An energy harvesting application does not provide power on demand! Energy needs to be stored and the duty cycle of the application needs to be adjusted. More energy has to be harvested than the application would ever need!
Therefore, any energy storage solution needs a high number of charge / discharge cycles and a low self discharge rate. This can be achieved with specialized batteries or SuperCapacitors.
Arrow´s Linecard provides the right selection of suppliers for this demanding application.

Industrial metals (copper, aluminium, nickel, etc.) daily review (January 10, 2014)
January 10, 2014, Friday, 12:38 GMT | 07:38 EST | 18:08 IST | 20:38 SGT
Contributed by Angel Broking
Base metals on the LME traded on a negative note yesterday taking cues from unfavorable inflation data from China. Also, more than expected fall in unemployment claims strengthened the case for further QE tapering, thereby curbing demand for the base metals.
Also, mixed global market sentiments acted as negative factor. Further, positive economic data from Germany coupled with decline in LME inventories could not provide respite to falling prices.
LME Copper prices fell by 1.2 percent yesterday on the back of negative inflation data from the biggest consumer, China. Decline in LME inventories by 1 percent to 348,250 tonnes along with favorable industrial production from Germany could not cushion downside in prices. The red metal touched an intra-day low of $7209/tonne and closed at $7227.75/tonne on Thursday.
MCX Copper slumped by 1.6 percent yesterday, touching an intra-day low of Rs.454.5/kg and closed at Rs.455.65/kg on Thursday.
We expect base metals to trade on a negative note today on the back of concerns of slowing economic growth in China. Also, QE taper concerns will continue to remain an influential factor for base metal prices.
