Is This The Cheapest Non-Fast-Food Chicken Dinner in OC?
Edwin Goei |
Lua Bistrot is too sleek for Little Saigon. Among the neon-lit declarations of tackiness that surrounds it, Lua sticks out like a polished Porsche in a lot full of jalopies. You half expect James Bond to waltz in and rendezvous with a smoldering Russian spy. Yet when you check out the menu prices, you realize how well the place does indeed fit into a neighborhood full of discount noodle joints.
You might remember that we designated the restaurant as the best place to get a Non-Credit-Breaching-Steak-Dinner in our Best Of Issue. The steak-and-egg meal is still there for $9.95.
But there's even a cheaper option. Yes, even cheaper than a $9.95 steak dinner.
What is it? The deal I saw the other night (which hopefully endures long enough for anyone reading to enjoy it): $3.50 for two pieces of fried chicken, with salad and mashed potato with gravy or rice. The menu says it is ga ro ti (which is Vietnamese roasted chicken)...I'll leave it to Dave to put in the proper accents and diacritics...but perhaps even this is unnecessary because the chicken is most obviously fried in oil, not roasted. It is fried chicken. Plain and simple. Cheap. Needing a little more salt. But again, cheap and good. The crispy, gnarled skin is addictive; the meat and starch, filling.
There's perhaps no cheaper sit-down restaurant chicken dinner in OC, except those perennial discounters at the Nha Hang $1.99 Restaurant...which isn't nearly as good looking as Lua.

4e Hall of the Fire Giant King
Chris Perkins writes: "In reimagining "Hall of the Fire Giant King," I've inflicted some violence to the maps and encounters to make the adventure a fun and balanced gaming experience. I hope that DMs who have fond memories of the original read this latest incarnation and feel the same overwhelming desire to run the adventure as I felt back in 1980, when I read Gary Gygax's adventure for the first time."
Clocking in at 62 pages, there is indeed alot here Greyhawk fans should be familiar with. King Snurre's hall still remains buried deep in the Hellfurnaces region of the Crystalmist Mountains. There are major side quests to confront or capture notable villains such as the evil dwarf Obmi and the scheming drow priestess Eclavdra from the city of Erelhei-Cinlu. As if those two aren't enough there's even more Greyhawkian characters that pop up in this epic (18-20 level) finale to the giant saga. So yes, even if you don't play 4th edition, there is bound to be plenty of giant-sized resources to plunder in this adventure for any DM's campaign.

Implying, of course, that prior to his "violence" it was neither fun nor balanced.

No, implying that prior to his "violence" the adventure would not have been fun with the 4E rule set which is heavily dependent on map placement and distribution.
If you have been following the series at all you know how much the author loves the original series and how this (initially unpaid) conversion was a labor of love.
But feel free to invent negativity where there is none.
*sigh* - April 10, 2012 at 8:52 AM
These adventures are amazing. I have been running them on maptools and now I plan to run them face to face with my home group. I highly recommend them to anyone using any version of the rules. The maps alone are worth the price.

Surprisingly I've never ran Hall in 1e either. I know from perusing this that the maps are of high quality and there is an attempt at drawing some subplots to the adventure that go well beyond what the originals surely had.
Violence is a strange word to use, but yes it probably had to do with fitting the 4e encounter/timing method. Old school of course was more about long term exploration, random encounters, etc. I can see the appeal in both products and I'm heartened at least that GH is getting progressively better treatment as we phase on into the 5e era. - April 10, 2012 at 7:56 PM

QUESTION: My challenge is my attitude about people not paying their "fair share." My children's father and I have been divorced for many years. Since the divorce, we've had several celebrations including our daughter's and son's graduations from college, a rehearsal dinner for our son's wedding, etc. I paid for receptions for all of these events that he attended and didn't offer to help with the expenses. Perhaps you'll ask, "Did you ask him?" Once I did ask him to help with a wedding dinner for our daughter, and his response was "I already gave them $3,000 for a wedding present."
I doubt this wealthy man will ever pay up. What I need help with is letting this go once and for all. If I didn't plan and pay for the events, there wouldn't be any if left up to him.
~ Willingly Generous Mom
Dear Willingly Generous Mom,
Your children are very fortunate to have such a generous hearted mother. Give yourself a pat on the back for being able to help them out and to mark their special occasions in the celebratory way that you do. It is important to mark these days as they are important moments in a life and will be remembered, standing out as milestones along the way. I hear that you are upset because your ex-husband, the children's father, is not on the same page as you. I ask you sincerely, "Does he have to be?" Every individual has an individual point of view. You said he gave a wedding present of a generous financial gift so it's not as if he has chosen to not help out or to acknowledge the occasion. He has just done it differently. Yet you follow this information with, "I doubt this wealthy man will ever pay up."
I wonder what amount you feel would have been adequate and who is the qualified judge of this? It makes me sad to hear the disappointed expectation that seems to be ongoing for you … an expectation that leads to the same result over and over. You know how painful it has been and you also acknowledge that you need to let it go once and for all. I would highly recommend the work of Byron Katie to you, which is all about releasing other people from our beliefs about what they should be doing.
In her first book, "Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life," she writes, "It's not the problem that causes our suffering; it's our thinking about the problem." The truth is your ex-husband is free to do what ever he deems appropriate just as you too enjoy the freedom to do what you want to do and take joy in doing. You have appointed yourself the judge of what is correct for another and you can relieve yourself of that duty. You will forever find the effort to change another frustrating, so just stop and take back your power. Focus on the joy you get from doing what you have chosen to do and you will be a lot happier. Leave aside the judging and comparisons; these rob you of your joy. Your power is the power to choose your focus and your thoughts. You create a good life for yourself and your children; that is all that matters.
Be glad in it, celebrate it and enjoy it. You deserve it and can give this gift to yourself now. It's up to you and only you.
Joan Doyle
Dear Willingly Generous Mom,
I think your ex is a hopeless case as far as paying his fair share is concerned, and in my opinion you should move on with your life. As you tell the story, he has had ample opportunity to do the right thing in the past and he hasn't. What makes you think he'll change in the future?
What you can do is do things with your grown children separately from him and have them over to your place instead of booking an expensive restaurant and expecting him to come through with half of the expense.
I am on your side and have total sympathy for your position. In my own family I have a cousin who is very slow to pay, and my choice is to grin and bear it at family gatherings that include him, or else not attend any family gatherings at which he'll be in attendance. It's a terrible choice, I know. But some of our relatives or ex-relatives are simply jerks, and we either take them at their miserly worst or avoid them altogether.
Sorry, but having the same blood in our veins does not mean we think alike. Think about politics: do all of your relatives vote the same way? I'm going to guess not. It's the same way with matters financial: some of our relatives are stingy and some are not. Again, I'm sorry to say this, but the father of your children sounds like a skinflint and a bum. Accept the skinflint/bum as he is, or move on. Life is too short to spend time worrying about what we think someone else should do.
The Rev. Skip Lindeman
QUESTION: A young couple, I'll call them Joan and Tom, who have two children moved next door to us a couple of months ago. Joan and I often have coffee after she's dropped the children off at preschool. Joan told me that even though she's not interested in attending church because of some bad experiences she had, she would like her children to have some religious instruction. I offered to take her children to the church my husband and I have been attending for 35 years. We had it all set up, and then Tom said he didn't want his kids going to church and learning about hell, fire and damnation.
I told him that wasn't what we teach in Sunday school, but that didn't convince him. Should I just leave this alone or keep trying?
~ Helpful or Not?
Dear Helpful or Not?
Bless you for being open to listen to this woman and assist in taking her children to church. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do when a parent says they do not want their children attending church, or any other activity, at the last minute. In fact, pushing the issue will most likely cause a rift in the neighborly relationship and end continued friendship – as individuals most often defer to their spouse. I know it is painful and you want to help. And you can. You can pray. God is much bigger than our small attempts. But to try to press the issue, even gently, may seem pushy or forceful to the father. I have seen issues like this too many times.
My advice? Show complete respect for the father's wishes, continue to be friendly, do not revisit the topic and pray. The best chance of anything changing will be the pleasant surprise of answered prayer. And you may never see that. It could come in these children's adulthood.
Kimberlie Zakarian
Dear Helpful or Not?
I have so many responses to your letter! Space won't permit me to say all I'm thinking. First, thank you for offering to take the children to church. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me."
Second, why won't Joan's children have the same church experience that she had? Would she really want to subject her children to what she experienced? How much sense does it make for Joan to say, "I'll never go but my children should"? That's like saying, "I got food poisoning at that restaurant but I'll take my kids there."
Or perhaps the circumstances at Joan's church were unique to her. If that's the case, then Joan should go to a different church with her kids. Maybe your church! Or is what's good for Joan's kids somehow bad for her? You see the illogic here.
Third, the dad. I'm the perfect guy to speak to this since: 1) I grew up not liking church, 2) I'm a dad too, and 3) I have preached on hell before.
There are lots of closed-minded dads out there. Thank God my dad was not one of them. He would have been 87 today. He made sure I knew that God loved me. He made sure I knew that I was a sinner and that my sins separated me from God. He made sure I knew that Jesus paid the penalty for all my sins on the cross. He made sure I knew that Jesus rose again. He made sure I knew that by receiving Jesus and believing in him, that awful things like hell, fire and damnation would have no part of my future.
Oddly enough, I support this short-sighted dad's decision. He's the dad. The dreadful mistake is his to make. And Jesus spoke to this kind of dad long ago.
"If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea." (Matthew 18:6)
God pursues children to love them, teach them, bless them and save them. Sometimes grown-ups get in the way. You've done your part to help. Thank you and keep up the good work! Let's pray for those kids … and then for the parents.
Rev. Jon T. Karn

On 18 August 1612 at Lancaster Assizes, Judge Altham and Judge Bromley tried 19 witches from the Pendle area. They were accused of getting together for a witches' sabbath. Nine of them were subsequently hanged. The names of Alice Nutter and Anne Redferne are etched deep in local folklore, mainly because they were victims of ignorance.
The saga started when a poor girl called Alizon Device met Abraham Law, a travelling peddler on the hills near Colne. She begged for some pins. He refused her. She cursed him and he had a stroke. Of course in an age of witch-hunts that seemed a clear case of sorcery. Zealous magistrates and constables took a nine-year-old's evidence and manipulated family feuds to such an extent that two families ended up confessing to being spellbinders.
Pendle Hill keeps an eerie silence on that slice of history. The local post office in Barley is prone to running an anti-publicity campaign about the present goings on at Hallowe'en.
"There's nowt here now. They come here from as far off as Liverpool, but there's no bonfire on the hill like there used to be."
Locals tell of the old days when everyone met in the main street - armed with turnip lanterns - and set off in procession at 10pm to walk up the hill. Now, on 31 October people simply walk up Pendle Hill as the mood takes them. But with their moving lights the effect is still spectacular - a sort of fairy necklace of illumination.
The hot dog stall in the car park by the stream is the nerve centre for all activities nocturnal. Last year we set off at 11pm. We turned left off the road by the stream where a signpost points to Pendle End.
The footpath alongside the stream is full of tree roots raking out to trip you up. That was where we were told that the right way to do the walk is without a torch. Once past Pendle End the slope gets steeper, the track gets as busy as Oxford Street and your breathing gets heavier. It's then that the English eccentricity hits home. Where else in the world would you meet a group in fancy dress walking down a hill banging a drum at the same time as someone else tries to ride up it on a scramble bike?
Only once have I ever seen policemen at the top checking on safety. But then how can you get lost? There can be as many as a hundred people on the hill at any one time, all noisy, all making that string of lights such an effective, romantic image, and yet so few really know why they do it.
On the drive back into Burnley we gave a lift to two teenage veterans of the trudge. "How many times have you done it then?"
"This is my fourth".
"Why do you do it?"
All Hallows is the first day of the pagan year. Hallowe'en is a time when spirits are allowed to roam free. I've never seen one. Never seen a witch either. The Pendle witches were arrested at Malkin tower four miles away on the evidence of a nine-year-old child. The probable motive for their get-together was not a witches' sabbath but a Catholic gathering in Protestant England.

The third best thing we love about death metal and grind, besides how it scares the elderly and is used by the military to antagonize prisoners of war, are the awesome fonts that they use. They all seem to look like brain matter on a wall shaped into letters. This was no doubt the idea. It looks awesome on shirts and projects a scariness that will get you seen first at the emergency room. We also love huge crazy death metal shows scheduled on the Sabbath. In fact, if it was up to us that would be the only day you could even have death metal shows, just to screw with peoples heads. Topping the bill tonight at Walters is the one-man band Bloodsoaked. The master behind all the ear-splitting jams is North Carolina-native Peter Hasslebrack. You gotta love a guy who can make such a joyful noise as Bloodsoaked all by himself with just a guitar and pre-programmed drums. Hasslebrack is currently touring behind his album, Sadistic Deeds
Grotesque Memories which was released just last month. The title could also describe our high school love life.

Ron Spinney, the chief executive of Hammerson, said market conditions were radically different from the speculative bubble which triggered the collapse 10 years ago.
Mr Spinney said the amount of speculative space - buildings developed in the hope of securing tenants after completion - was now "pretty small" compared with the late 1980s.
He added that property companies were better financed than a decade ago because banks had become "much more cautious" in their lending.
Hammerson had cut its average cost of debt to 7.5 per cent, and extended average length to 14 years, the chief executive said.
A better balance between the supply and the demand for prime office sites and retail space should also prevent the market from sliding into a long recession.
"Even if there is an economic slowdown, I don't think there is a major risk of a reduction in shopping and office rental values," Mr Spinney said.
However, he admitted that a recession in the UK, which accounts for 60 per cent of Hammerson's developments, would squeeze rental values.
"I am not saying we are going to see the dramatic growth of the past few months, but I am confident we will let our buildings well."
Mr Spinney's comments came as Hammerson reported an 6.2 per cent increase in interim pre-tax profits after exceptionals to pounds 32.4m.
The chief executive described the results as "solid".
The company announced that it had spent pounds 60m on buying two shopping centres in France and Switzerland, and on buying a French management company.

RLE graphics streams in VOB-s. There are some ($500+) authoring programs capable of making subtitles. Also IFOEdit can mux subtitle stream in, but no program for conversion from text is known.
(To be correct, I have made one, but it is in VB, incomplete and bulky (due to VB limitations), but working. If someone is interested to convert my code to C and release the tool, just pm me) -
There is a program called "DVDSupEncode" that will create a sup file from a text file which can be authored in IFOEdit. Do a Google search.

The launch of the iPad 2 is just a matter of hours away and is expected to sell like hotcakes. However a UK site is suggesting otherwise, claiming over a third of their readers are not impressed with the iPad 2 preferring the Android platform tablets that are on offer.
The site V3.co.uk is saying they will be amongst the first to report the Apple release breaking news as it happens the Apple store in San Francisco later today. This news comes from a recent reader poll that they did, where they found that many of their readers do not think the device is worth the money.
When the readers were asked whether they would be buying one 36% said they'd rather get the tablets on the Google OS. 12% of their readers even said they preferred Windows OS. 23% of readers confirmed they would buy the iPad 2 however.
What do you make of these statistics? Are they enough to generalize the opinion across the whole population? Let us know what you think.

If you know only one thing about the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), it's that kickbacks and unearned fees are prohibited. Thursday, however, the Supreme Court clarified the terms of the unearned fee prohibition. Justice Scalia, writing for the unanimous court, affirmed the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to hold that a plaintiff must demonstrate that a loan charge was divided between two or more persons to sue for a RESPA violation.
The RESPA kickback and unearned fees prohibition states that "no person shall give and no person shall accept any portion, split, or percentage of any charge made or received for the rendering of a real estate settlement service ... other than for services actually performed."
Three couples who obtained mortgage loans from Quicken Loans filed separate state-court actions against the company, alleging that Quicken Loans had violated the prohibition by charging them loan discount fees without giving them lower interest rates in return. Money paid for a service not provided certainly sounds like an unearned fee, but the courts viewed it differently through their RESPA-tinted glasses.
The district court granted summary judgment in favor of Quicken Loans, and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed, because the plaintiffs had not alleged that Quicken Loan engaged in fee-splitting. This week, the Supreme Court agreed, holding that a plaintiff alleging a RESPA kickback/unearned fee violation must demonstrate that a charge for settlement services was divided between two or more persons.
According to the Supreme Court, the relevant RESPA provision, 12 U.S.C. § 2607(b), unambiguously covers only a settlement-service provider's splitting of a fee with one or more other persons; it cannot be understood to reach a single provider's retention of an unearned fee.
Is accepting a loan discount fee without a reciprocal interest-rate reduction shady? That's for you and Congress to decide. But the Supreme Court says that it's not the prohibited activity anticipated in the RESPA kickbacks and unearned fees prohibition, so the plaintiffs can't sue Quicken Loans for a RESPA violation.
Mortgage Law Fun Tip of the Week: Start a firm pool to guess when RESPA will be amended to cover fee-for-nothing scenarios, because there's no way Congress will let this slide.

U.S. infantry soldiers–the "grunts" who fight the nation's ground wars–are beginning to receive a new generation of powerful and versatile weapons designed to help them in non-traditional missions, such as peacekeeping and anti-terrorism.
The contract–for the program-definition and risk-reduction (PDRR) phase of the weapon's development–requires the contractors, over the next four years, to resolve design problems that turned up in 1999, during tests at Aberdeen. Under the terms of the contract, the design issues must be settled before the OICW enters the engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) phase in 2004. EMD is the final step before full production, now scheduled for 2009. Originally, it had been scheduled for 2005.
The contractor team includes Alliant Techsystems Integrated Defense Company, of Hopkins, Minn.; Brashear Ltd., of Pittsburgh; Heckler & Koch (HK) Gmbh, of Oberndorf, Germany; Octec, of Bracknell, in the United Kingdom, and Dynamit Nobel AG, of Cologne, Germany.
The OICW is the latest in a long line of hand-held firearms dating back to the 1300s. Smooth-bore muskets were deadly when fired at masses of troops, but inaccurate when fired at individual targets. Rifles, which came along in the 1700s, had spiraling grooves inside their barrels, forcing bullets to follow a more precise trajectory. In the 20th century, automatic weapons and rifle-mounted grenade launchers further increased infantry firepower.
The OICW boosts that firepower even higher, according to Army officials. In 1999, Maj. Gen. Carl Ernst–then commanding general of the Army Infantry Center and commandant of the Infantry School at Fort Benning, Ga.–described it as "the first revolutionary capability provided to the infantry soldier since the musket."
Like the M16 and the M4–with an attached M203–the OICW can fire both rifle bullets and launch grenades. The OICW fires the same 5.56 mm kinetic-energy round as the M16 and the M4, but it spits out a 20 mm high-explosive, air-bursting grenade, compared to the standard, 40 mm, ground-impact version launched by the M203.
The M16 is the standard combat rifle issued to U.S. troops since the Vietnam War. The M4–in use since 1994–is a shorter version of the M16, with a collapsible buttstock. The M203, another Vietnam-era weapon, attaches to both the M16 and the M4.
The OICW is "five times more effective" than the older weapons, according to Alliant business development manager Tom Bierman. When fired at 300 meters, "10 percent of the [M203] 40 mm rounds have a probability of incapacitating their targets," Bierman asserted in a phone interview. At the same distance, 50 percent of the [OICW] 20 mm rounds had that probability, he said.
A key reason for the increased effectiveness has to do with the OICW's air-bursting grenade, Bierman said. The M203's grenade goes off when it hits something, he said. The OICW's grenade, on the other hand, is timed to explode in the air above or behind its target.
Air Bursts This "air-burst" capability enables shooters to hit enemy targets hiding in foxholes and trenches or behind walls and trees, explained Jim Schatz, senior marketing and customer service representative for HK's U.S. subsidiary, based in Sterling, Va. HK is the subcontractor responsible for the design and manufacture of the weapon itself.
Even if the 20 mm round doesn't disable its target, it will make him take cover, said Schatz.
Despite its fearsome impact, the OICW is easy to shoot, said Rich Audette, deputy small arms product manager at the Army's Picatinny Arsenal, N.J. He has fired the weapon many times, he said.
"When you're firing a 20 mm round, you'd think that it would kick like a mule," said Audette. "But it really doesn't. It's really a honey of a gun to shoot."
The recoil–the backward force of a weapon when it is discharged–is "less than a 12-gauge shotgun, less than an M14 rifle," said Bierman.
Before it is fielded, the Army wants the OICW's grenade launcher to have a range of 1,000 meters, more than twice that of the M203, said Schatz.
To enable the grenade to hit targets at such distances, Bierman explained, the OICW relies upon an electronic fire-control system with a laser range finder that pinpoints the precise target range at which the round will burst and automatically relays that information to the round's detonating fuze.
The fire-control system–made by Brashear–"actually counts the number of turns" that the spinning round makes in the air after it is fired," said Bierman. "It also calculates the number of turns that it must make to reach its target." When it reaches that number, it explodes.
The fire-control system eliminates "gunner wobble," Bierman said. "Gunner wobble is what happens when–because of exhaustion or emotion–you're having trouble keeping your weapon on target."
To compensate for gunner wobble, the fire-control system calculates an average of the weapon's movement during the aiming process, and fires in the direction of that average.
Instead of the adjustable metal sights or telescopic cross hairs familiar to recent generations of shooters, the OICW employs a "simple red dot day/night sighting system," which uses uncooled infrared sensor technology for night vision, said Bierman.
"It's really simple," he said. "All the soldier has to do is place the aimpoint–a red dot–on the target and activate the rangefinder. The fire-control system computes the range data. The soldier moves the adjusted aimpoint back to the target and pulls the trigger," Bierman said.
"The need to use 'Kentucky windage'–calculating the impact of wind upon rounds as they fly through the air–is eliminated. A computer in the weapon does that."
One problem with the OICW is the weight of the weapon itself. The OICW prototype currently being tested weighs 18 pounds.
Designers intend to get the OICW down to about 14 pounds, including full magazines of 5.56 mm and 20 mm ammunition, through extensive use of "exotic, lightweight materials" to replace traditional metals, Bierman said. The Army Infantry Center would like to go even lower, to about 10 pounds, but that "is a challenge," he said.
Another concern is the cost of each OICW. The estimated unit price for each OICW has increased, from $10,000 in 1995 to between $15,000 to $18,000 most recently, Bierman acknowledged.
That sounds like a lot when compared to the $586 unit cost of the M16A2, Bierman admitted. But the price of a weapon, he argued, depends largely upon how many are produced. Currently, for example, approximately 800,000 M16s are in service, he said.
Comparing Costs A more realistic comparison, he said, would be between the OICW and an older weapon with all of the add-ons, Bierman said. An M4 so equipped would cost $39,000, he noted.
Originally, he noted, the Army planned to buy 40,000 to 50,000 OICWs and issue them to every infantryman. "But the Army has decided that it doesn't need as many as that," Bierman said.
Instead, the Army now plans to buy 20,000 OICWs and issue them to four out of the nine members of each infantry squad, Bierman said. Eventually, the Alliant team hopes to interest other U.S. services–particularly the Marines–and foreign military organizations in the OICW, Bierman said.
The Army also is making progress on the XM107–the new, .50 caliber, long-range sniper rifle. This weapon, designed by Barrett Firearms Manufacturing Inc., of Murfreesburo, Tenn., is 10 pounds lighter and a foot shorter than the two-decade-old, .50 caliber sniper rifle currently used by the armed services, the M82A3, also made by Barrett.
With a weight of 23 pounds and an overall length of nearly four feet, however, the XM107 is still a hefty weapon, admitted Bob Galeazzi, product manager for the rifle at Picatinny. "It's a monster of a weapon," he said. "It's got some kick to it, but it's a good weapon."
The XM107 has a dual-chamber muzzle brake and recoil pad to reduce recoil, and its lighter weight makes it easier to carry and shoot, according to George Kontis, executive director of marketing and business development for Barrett.
An adjustable bipod–used to support the barrel while firing–can be detached easily by removing a single quick-release pin, Kontis said. A variety of day and night optics, thermal and other sighting devices can be mounted on the rifle, he noted.
The Army and Marines use .50 caliber sniper rifles to reach targets as far away as 1,800 yards–more than a mile, well beyond the range of the M16 or even the M24 sniper rifle. Also, a .50 caliber packs a wallop. Unlike the M24, which fires a 7.62 mm round, a .50 caliber rifle can penetrate distant soldiers' helmets, fortified bunkers, lightly armored trucks, parked airplanes and even radar dishes, Kontis explained.
"In Kosovo," he said, "U.S. forces were taking fire from snipers in buildings full of noncombatants. Small arms were ineffective against the snipers, and you couldn't use a tank, without taking out the whole building. A Barrett rifle will enable you to pinpoint the sniper and take him out without hurting anybody else in the building."
Being able to fire at targets "from such extreme ranges provides the sniper with increased protection from counter fire," said Galeazzi. The result, he noted, is reduced casualties among U.S. snipers.
Another important use for the .50 caliber rifle is explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) in and around the battlefield, said Kontis. During and after combat, U.S. troops and civilians are threatened by unexploded land mines, artillery shells, bombs and grenades. The simplest, most cost-effective way to dispose of such ordnance is by small arms fire, Kontis said.
The Army plans to order more than 2,900 of the XM107s, issuing one to every sniper team, according to Galeazzi. He declined to provide cost estimates. Fielding is planned for the second quarter of fiscal year 2002, he said.
First, however, "some issues" uncovered during recent tests at Aberdeen "have to be sorted out," he noted. During the tests, "we fired a few thousand rounds. The testers who fired the weapons said they were great, but they found a few things, and Barrett's going to fix them."
Barrett officials don't foresee any problems. "It's all really minor stuff," said Kontis. "For example, they wanted backup iron sights–the M82A3 never had those. It'll all be fixed by January."
Galeazzi seemed to agree. "What we're experiencing with the XM107 is normal," he said. "We have an excellent chance of sticking to the schedule."
The team producing the M1014 joint services combat shotgun, H&K and Benelli Armi, S.p.A., of Urbino, Italy, hopes to sell as many as 15,000 to 25,000 of the weapons to U.S. military services and federal law enforcement agencies, said Schatz.
The first-year production contract–for the 3,977 copies ordered by the Marines–is for $2.8 million. Beyond that, exact numbers "haven't firmed up yet," said Marine Maj. Tracy Tafolla, project officer for individual weapons, at the Marine Corps Systems Command in Quantico, Va.
The Marines are managing development of the weapon for all of the services, including the Special Operations Command and the Coast Guard. Best estimates, officials said, are that the Army will buy more than 6,000; the Coast Guard, 3,000, and the Immigration and Naturalization Service, between 4,800 and 6,800. The Air Force, Navy, FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration and the State Department's Diplomatic Security Service also have voiced interest.
The M1014 will be used primarily for guard duty, crowd control and–when necessary–close combat, said Schatz. This, he said, will make it particularly useful for urban warfare, peacekeeping and special operations.
Logistical Nightmare The M1014 will replace an array of aging military shotguns, Tafolla said. "We've got four different shotguns," he said. "Logistically, that's a nightmare for us. Nothing is interchangeable. Some of those weapons are more than 40 years old."
Unlike existing military shotguns–which are pump action–the M1014 is semi-automatic, meaning that it can be fired repeatedly simply by pulling the trigger each time. "The rate of fire is obviously faster than current shotguns," Tafolla said. The weapon has a magazine that holds five 12-gauge rounds and can accommodate both 2.75-inch and 3.0 magnum cartridges.
The new shotgun also can fire manually fed non-lethal rounds, such as bean bags, "delivering enough force to hit and hurt somebody without penetration," Tafolla said.
With a maximum length of 39.8 inches and an unloaded weight of 8.4 pounds, the M1014 is roughly the same size as the M16 rifle.
"It has a collapsible buttstock and a pistol grip, enabling you to fight in close quarters," he said. "It has a maximum effective range of 40 to 50 meters."
It will take time–years, in some cases–to get these new weapons into the hands of combat soldiers, military officials and contractors agreed. There are no plans, officials said, to replace the M16 and M4 entirely. What the new weapons will do, they emphasized, is offer U.S. infantry greater lethality and better protection.

MOANday-Matt Damon
While I was a fan of his movies, I never really considered Matt Damon leading hero material until I saw him in the Bourne movies. The action and complexity of that character really drew me. Seeing previews of his new flick, Green Zone, reminded me of this. I probably won't see it in theaters, since war movies aren't a big thing for me, but he has the same look in the trailers as he does in the Bourne movies. So enjoy a little Matt Damon this month:
Yum-O!!! :) Happy MOANday, I mean Monday!
Coming Soon!
Join us on Wednesday, March 3, when author Julie Cohen comes to play on the Playground!

I'm a Matt fan from way back :-) Dogma is probably my favorite MD movie, though.
- Smarty Pants said...
Yum. Dogma has to be my favorite, too. My favorite Damon line -
"Let it never be said that your anal-retentive attention to detail never yielded positive results!" - 7:48 AM
- Playground Monitor said...
He's done such a variety of things -- the Bourne movies, Good Will Hunting, The Rainmaker, Oceans Eleven (and 12 and 13), The Talented Mr. Ripley. He even did an episode of Will and Grace.
I want to go see Invictus.
Good Moan-day choice! - 7:51 AM
- Instigator said...
I'm a huge MD fan. He's just one of those actors who seems to be able to do anything. But I love him in Bourne and can't wait for the next one to come out! In fact, I'm almost hestiant to see the Green Zone because it's so similar...I'm afraid I'll be upset because he isn't Bourne.

We're talking one smart and savvy businessman, as well as a hunk. I'm very impressed with Matt Damon, over and beyond his acting. He's a great humanitarian too.

Historic Sheridan Inn - Sheridan, WY |
Historic Occidental Hotel - Buffalo, WY |
Dare to take a look inside?Sheridan & Buffalo .mp4
Interstate 80 traverses all of southern Wyoming and a trek east-to-west supplies the ghost seeker with scare fare at nearly every stop:
Wyoming Territorial Prison - Laramie, WY |
Wyoming Territorial Prison State Historic Site, Laramie, WY – Tickets to the annual Ghost Tour of Laramie City are on sale now for the eerie treks that start Saturday (Oct. 15) and continue through the end of the month. Staff and visitors to the prison have reported numerous odd encounters many related to Julius Greenwald, a cigar maker from Poland, who was incarcerated for murdering his wife. One of just two inmates to die while behind bars at the Laramie institution, Greenwald succumbed to heart failure in 1901. Strange occurrences of note include prison gates flying open despite being locked, cold spots or icy sensations and of course the smell of cigar smoke. The most famous case of paranormal activity in the facility came in 1991 when two people on a tour happened to notice someone wearing prison clothes standing in a doorway, arm outstretched with his palm facing up. The two men looked away briefly and when returning their glances toward the figure, that person had vanished. The tourists later looked through photographs of previous inmates and both men identified Julius Greenwald as the person they had seen. The 90-minute ghost tours also include a hayride through downtown Laramie to see and hear of its haunted history. Go to: http://www.wyomingterritorialprison.com/ or to get tour tickets call: 307-745-6161, ext. 12. If you are looking for a new means of flight, or to sweep, please allow time for a tour of the site's functional broom factory.
The Virginian - Medicine Bow, WY |
Here are just a few:
• Many cold spots felt in various parts of the hotel.
• Apparitions of entities have appeared in front of the living and have been spotted out of the corner of the eye of some witnesses.
• Music from another era is sometimes heard in areas where there had been music played for guest entertainment long ago.
Virginian owners Vernon and Vickie Scott along with hundreds of former Medicine Bow residents celebrated the hotel's 100th year in 2011. Medicine Bow requires a diversion from Interstate 80 north to Highway 30 at Laramie, Elk Mountain or Walcott Junction. The Scotts say one particular entity likes to visit the rooms and "help" in the restaurant - perhaps a former employee or owner. Current staff members report the phenomena of various items being moved from where they were last left and sometimes finding things in odd places.Visit: http://www.historicvirginianhotel.net/
Old Wyoming State Pen - Rawlins, WY |
Fort Bridger State Historic Site, Ft. Bridger, WY - Ghosts of note have been spotted in almost every standing historic structure at this southwestern Wyoming location just a few miles south of Interstate 80. One or more animal apparitions have been reported, particularly that of a dog that was decorated for heroism for saving a young boy. Most ghosts seem to be rather harmless and appear to represent soldiers that died while stationed at the site in the mid to late 1800's. The site closes for the season Oct. 30. Visit Fort Bridger State Historic Site

Before James Taylor went out on his recent tour, he had doubts about how much longer he could rock & roll in public. At thirty-one, with a wife (Carly Simon) and two children (Sarah, 5, and Ben, 2), he began to think of performing his music as being "a bit adolescent." His new album. "Flag," had not sold nearly so well as his last, "JT," and the photograph of Taylor tucked inside his LP showed an artist who seemed to want to make everyone understand that he was aging.
But when I got on the bus with Taylor and his band on the way to Pine Knob, a beautiful, acoustically superior open-air theater outside Detroit, I sensed that I hadn't been getting the complete picture, Unlike most tours, the musicians didn't seem to be dragging themselves around, trying to fight road stupor. Taylor's tour manager, Eric Barrett, had hired on Richard Norton, a karate instructor, to give the band workouts. And more than half the group — which includes bassist Leland Sklar, drummer Russ Kunkel, saxophonist David Sanborn, guitarists Waddy Wachtel and Danny Kortchmar, keyboardist Don Grolnick and background singers Arnold McCuller and David Lasley — were exercising with Norton from eleven a.m. until two. And they looked it.
The tour was drawing well. At Pine Knob, Taylor was about to play for his third of four successive sell-out crowds (12,000 per night) that were wildly enthusiastic. Honest-to-good-ness rock & roll made up a healthy portion of the performance, spurred by Kortchmar and Wachtel's thick, punchy rhythm guitar textures. And Taylor, who more than any other singer has been branded with the term "mellow," belted out the songs with fire and closed each hard number with flying leaps that brought the audience to its feet.
Taylor almost never grants interviews. Since a 1973 "Rolling Stone" talk he has done only one lengthy interview, for "Stereo Review" in 1978. He trusts only these things: playing music in front of an audience that asks only that he be himself; working with musicians he admires; writing his songs; and most of all, being with his family.
When did you discover you could write songs?
I started when I went to McLean, a psychiatric hospital, in 1965. It was where I started writing seriously. I wrote two songs in McLean, and after that, I went down to New York with the Flying Machine in 1966 and wrote most of the music on my first Apple album [James Taylor, 1969]. That was a hot time; a lot of stuff was getting written and I thought it was good stuff, too.
I've written a hundred songs since then, and I think that's a lot of songs. A lot of them are repetitive and a number of them are lightweight. But I think I'm pretty prolific.
Do any of your old songs embarrass you now?
I was gonna open this tour with "Blossom," but "Blossom" sort of bothers me. It seems so floral, it seems so cute. Actually, there are so many songs that came after it in that mode that are really a drag.
Did the confessional nature of those songs bother you at the time?
When you write a song, it may come from a personal space, but it very seldom actually represents you. It comes out of a sort of mood of melancholy, somehow. It's almost theatrical.
Where did you pick up the folk guitar?
Well, probably on Martha's Vineyard; I used to go there in the summertime, heard some music there. Someone must've taught me what used to be called Travis picking; I suppose Elizabeth Cotton is probably more to be credited.
When did you first start playing guitar?
I think I was twelve or so. I played the cello from when I was ten, and then I bought a guitar from the father of some friends of mine and played that for a while. And then when I was fourteen or so, I bought a guitar — a real nice one — in Durham, North Carolina, that I worked with up until I was about twenty-five. Then Mark Whitebook built me the guitar I use now.
When did you start playing rock & roll?
Gee, I suppose I started playing rock & roll when I was thirteen. Kooch [Danny Kortchmar] started to show me a few loose changes and played me some Lightnin' Hopkins and Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker and stuff like that. I suppose that was the start of it. But my brother Alex had a pretty educated ear. He went out and listened to as much as he could, and I think he probably got me started as much as Kooch did. And then Kooch and I played blues for a while — or we attempted to play blues. And then I had a band with my brother Alex down south, and we just played whatever hits were around there, played on weekends and whatever gigs we could get.
When did you hook up with Flying Machine?
Well, let's see, I went down to New York in 1966 and saw Kooch, and he said, "Why don't we try this?" I was with my friend Zach Weisner, who is a bass player, and we decided to do some rehearsing. Kooch had been with Joel O'Brien, who drummed in the King Bees. And Joel also showed me a lot of stuff — I had never known much jazz before.
How did you meet your producer, Peter Asher?
Kooch had worked with Peter and Gordon on an American tour as a member of the backup band, and I was in London to do some traveling and to take it easy, and I'd hoped to be able to sing some small clubs here and there and just make my way through Europe. But it wasn't as easy as I through it might be. You had to have papers and had to worry about immigration, and I got more and more interested in making a record, a solo album. I went to a little two-track studio in Soho and made an album for eight pounds. I bought forty-five minutes of time and made forty-five minutes of music. And then I double-tracked a lot.

"Spinther usarpia, new species
(Plate 13)
Record: 16:29 sta. 439 (1, TYPE).
Description: The body is depressed, oval to subspherical; length is 3 mm and width with parapodia nearly 3 mm; segments number 20. The ventrum is smooth (Fig. A). The dorsum is flat, has thick spines directed distally (Fig. B). The small, spherical prostomium is located between the notopodial ridges of the third setiger; the pygidium is terminal.
Neuropodia are most conspicuous on the ventral side, where each has a large, projecting falciger, and four or five embedded ones, in various stages of development. The shaft of these hooks is smooth, and the appendage sharply curved (Fig. C) and directed ventrally. Notosetae are much slenderer, occur in transverse rows on the dorsum. Each is entire, straight, and terminates distally in an unequally bifid tip in which the longer tooth is thicker than the other (Fig. D).
S. usarpia resembles S. alaskensis Hartman, 1948, from Alaska, in having similar setae; it differs in that it has a smooth ventrum. S. usarpia differs from S. arcticus (Sars) from the Arctic Ocean, in having only about 20 segments. The only other Spinther from the southern hemisphere is S. australiensis Augener, 1913, from southwestern Australia; in this the neuropodial hooks have an appendage with a large lateral tooth.
This is the first member of the family reported from Antarctica.

Jimmy Wayne started out with nothing and ended up with everything. Even though he grew up in foster care, where many kids are considered "lost causes," Jimmy made something out of his life and became one of the more dominant country singers, proving that generalization completely wrong. His hit song, "Do You Believe Me Now?" was Number One for three weeks. And that's only the tip of it.
Jimmy Wayne, whose song topics run from foster care to broken hearts, started his career at age 12 by writing songs, which he said, "Kind of sparked my curiosity."
Surprisingly, Jimmy admitted, he never really studied any music program at school. "No, I was never really involved," he said. "I think I did one course. And I didn't even know what was going on. I was too shy. I wouldn't even sing."
What won Jimmy Wayne over to country music was "the story telling. The fact that it seemed to be that country music spoke directly to the real people, the majority. I felt like I [had] something to say. I grew up listening to country music as well as other kinds of music. Being in a multi-cultural family, I was kind of exposed to a lot of kinds of music."
And he doesn't have just one musical influence. "I listened to all kinds of music being in the group homes, foster homes. Different genres. So, it's kind of hard to pick just one person. It was all the music."
Growing up in foster care has definitely affected his music. He agreed, "Oh yeah, it gives you something to write about. As an adult, I realize there's a lot of kids out there growing up in the same homes. You can relate to them. It affected my music positively. It gives you something to say about my experience and it may give kids hope."
On the foster kids themselves, he said, "Just because they're in there, doesn't mean they won't be successful or be somebody. A lot of those kids feel like they're not special. And then there are kids in there that are very determined. They'll be someone. I was one of them. I believed for some reason. I don't know why. I just did." He also said that he would love to get involved in charities benefiting children.
Jimmy Wayne's single "Do You Believe Me Now?" continues to dominate the airwaves. Jimmy was surprised by the success. "I was very surprised and very excited. The list goes on. It's like a single rush that won't go away."
If you haven't seen the music video for the song, definitely check it out on YouTube. It's one of my favorite videos, because there's a definite story in it. Filming it, Jimmy said, was "pretty exciting. I mean, it's always exciting. It's kind of like looking at old pictures, sometimes you don't want to look at them."
For those of you that may have missed it, earlier this year Jimmy was picked as "Hot Guy of the Month" by People Magazine. He let out a slight laugh when asked about it. "Oh. Well, I guess it was an honor to be in there period. I was very glad to be in it. I would be happy to be in there again." He then added that it came as a shock, saying, "I don't think of myself as being … hot. It was kind of funny."
His fans have affected him "positively. There's a lot of response at the shows." He went on to say that many people travel a long distance to see him live, sometimes even halfway across the United States. "That really knocks me out."
"I'm always working forward," Jimmy continued, "Writing songs. Working on my next project." Expect a tour in 2009.
Jimmy Wayne really provides hope for the foster care community. He is incredibly talented and extremely inspirational. For more Jimmy Wayne, check out JimmyWayne.com.

(Case in point: Hollman does all her own stunts.) The third and final season of the show, War of the Damned, premiered January 25th. If you've caught it you know there are some pretty epic and bloody battle scenes, which include plenty of hot female fighters kicking serious ass. Hollman tells us all, including the surprisingly simple ingredients of a killer date—whether or not she'd be up for some role playing after. Photo by Joe DeAngelis STARZ Do you feel a connection to your character in Spartacus? Saxa is described as "a tenacious, vivacious force to be reckoned with." We're practically twins...minus the whole rebel-savage-fighting-an-epic-battle-everyday kind of thing. Photo Courtesy of STARZ STARZ What's your workout secret to getting those rock hard abs of Saxa? Aside from a hell of a lot of core work with MMA and knife fighting, I recently discovered hot yoga mixed with ballet and weights. That combo calls for a little bit of grace, a lot of sweat, and a few occasional tears. Photo Courtesy of STARZ Joe DeAngelis What's your favorite part of a guy's body and why? You can tell a lot about a man from his hands. If they don't have any scars or calluses on them, you might as well assume they cry at romantic comedy films, too. Photo by Joe DeAngelis Joe DeAngelis What's your favorite part of your body and why? I have a love/hate relationship with my bum. From being a sprinter most my life, it's accrued a decent amount of muscle. It's a pain to find jeans that fit my skinny legs and my booty, but on the bright side I could outrun a cheetah if I needed to. Photo by JSquared Photography Joe DeAngelis What's your favorite way to stay fit? By mixing it up. You'll never find me in a gym. Anything that's slightly dangerous and gets the heart rate going is my kind of workout. I do all my own stunts for the show, so I need to kick it up to an extreme level in order to sustain 14-hour shoot days, seven months in a row. Photo by Joe DeAngelis Joe DeAngelis Is it okay for guys to hit on you at the gym? No, just follow me out into the parking lot, find out where I live, and hang out in my backyard tree instead — that's far less creepy. Photo by Joe DeAngelis Joe DeAngelis Who in Hollywood would you most like to do a love scene with? Mike Row from Dirty Jobs is my secret crush. He can recite Shakespeare and shovel roadkill into a bucket at the same time—that's my kind of man. Photo by Joe DeAngelis Joe DeAngelis What's the best way for a guy to attract your interest? Humor. If a guy can laugh at himself and make me crack up? It's game on. Photo by Joe DeAngelis Joe DeAngelis Would you ever role-play in the bedroom as your Spartacus character? Saxa's feistiness, dominance, and loincloth skirt would be pretty hot, but I'd probably leave the knives out of it. That's a whole other level of crazy. Photo by JSquared Photography Joe DeAngelis Where's the weirdest place you've hooked up? In 71 BC with a gladiator named Gannicus. Photo by Joe DeAngelis 11 photos
