Maxine Waters Reclaiming Her Time Just Became Everyone's New Summer '17 Mantra
California Congresswoman Maxine Waters puts her foot down by reclaiming her time.
A concert in Toronto headlined by Young Jeezy ended in gunfire last night (April 4) before he even got a chance to hit the stage.
According to AllHipHop.com, the shooting took place around 12:30 a.m. shortly after certain audience members had been fighting.
Although the concert was broken up by the cops before Jeezy's set, the ATL rapper promises to return to Canada to make it up to the fans.
"Backstage @ Sound Academy in Toronto," Jeezy tweeted from the show. "Police closed venue and cancelled the greatest show! I will be back! Next stop London, Ontario! Can't Ban the snowman. I be back Toronto."
The show was a part of Jeezy's Hustlaz Ambition tour, which will continue tonight in London, Ontario, and end tomorrow night at the Olympia Theatre in Montreal.
In February, a Jeezy show in Orlando, FL, was interrupted by violence as fans clashed with security.

The Mountain Hardwear Nitrous Jacket is insulated with 800 fill-power down and has an ultralight polyester ripstop shell. It's full-featured and has a trim fit.
The Mountain Hardwear Nitrous Jacket is designed to be as versatile as possible. It has a compact design and trim fit, moderate warmth, and a full feature set, so it can be worn as an outer layer in cool conditions or as a midlayer in colder conditions. It's designed as a performance jacket for active alpine pursuits, but is equally appropriate for a trip to meet friends at the local pub or coffee shop, especially if you live in a mountain town. The focus in this review will be on the Nitrous Jacket's suitability for ultralight backpacking and various cool weather silent sports.
The Mountain Hardwear Nitrous Jacket is characterized by its narrow horizontal quilting, which gives it a "down sweater" appearance. The jacket is insulated with 800 fill-power down. The shell and lining fabric is 1 ounce/square yard EcoSensor ripstop polyester (87% virgin, 13% recycled) with a DWR finish.
Front and rear views of the Mountain Hardwear Nitrous Jacket. Features include a full-height front zipper, stand up insulated collar, two hand pockets, zippered chest pocket, elastic cuffs, and drawcord hem.
There are three pockets on the Nitrous Jacket, a zippered chest pocket (left) and two side pockets (right) that are insulated but not fleece-lined. Note that the side pockets have a unique flap-over closure.
The Nitrous Jacket is available in men's and women's versions, and a hooded model is also available.
I tested the Nitrous Jacket over five months while mountain summer backpacking, fall canyon country hiking, and late fall mountain day hiking. I wore the jacket in camp, in my sleeping bag, and on cold/windy days on the trail.
The Nitrous Jacket has a trim fit and extra long body and sleeves. The jacket in size large fits me (6 feet, 167 pounds, 37-inch chest, 34-inch arms) very well, with room to wear a couple of thinner layers under it. The body length is 29 inches, which is about 0.5 to 1.0 inch longer than many outdoor jackets. While the jacket fits well on a skinny person like me, the same size jacket would likely be a bit tight for a stockier build.
This jacket is basically lightweight, but it has some contradictions. While the elastic cuffs and flap-over pockets minimize weight, the front zipper is a heavier #5 (compared to a #3 on a really light jacket), and the hem has a rather heavy elastic drawcord and cordlock.
I found the Nitrous Jacket to be moderately warm. Measured double layer loft is 1.25 inches (0.6-inch single-layer loft). It's warm down to about 40F when inactive, which is sufficient for summer backpacking in the mountains. But the jacket's forte seems to be active backcountry pursuits; I found it very comfortable while hiking on cold days and cloudy/windy days. If I got a little warm, I opened the zipper; if I felt chilly, I added a layer under it or a shell over it. The jacket's collar is snug, but not tight, and covers my chin; however the elastic cuffs are loose.
I found the jacket's ripstop polyester shell to be downproof as claimed, but some feathers found their way out through the numerous seams (left). Even though I tried to avoid direct contact with my skin, the collar stained badly (right). The bright orange color probably shows the staining more than other colors would.
The jacket's ripstop polyester shell is very soft, adds an increment of warmth, and is very water- and wind-resistant. It's not damaged by Velcro. Polyester is generally considered to be a little less durable (less abrasion-resistant) than nylon, but it is still very strong because it's a polymer-based material, as is nylon. All jackets with an ultralight shell (1 ounce/square yard or less) require special care to avoid snagging or puncturing.
I wore the Nitrous Jacket while hiking in a snowstorm and found its shell to be quite water- and wind-resistant (left). Water readily beaded up on the shell, but the surface eventually wetted out (right, underside of sleeve). However, water did not soak through and wet the down.
I followed up my field observations with a one-hour indoor "puddle test" (left). The results confirmed my field observations – the fabric surface wetted out (right), but no water soaked through the fabric or the seams to wet the down.
The following table compares specifications of jackets similar to the Mountain Hardwear Nitrous Jacket. All jackets have premium down insulation, sewn-through construction, and a full-height front zipper. Manufacturer data for size medium are shown.
|Shell Fabric
|Measured Single Layer Loft (in)
|Weight (oz)
|Cost (US$)
|Mountain Hardwear Nitrous
|1 oz/yd2 polyester
|800 down
|two unzippered hand pockets with flap, zippered chest pocket, drawcord hem, elastic cuffs
|Rab Microlight
|1.3 oz/yd2 Pertex Microlight (nylon)
|750+ down

|Patagonia Down Sweater
|1.4 oz/yd2 polyester

|two zippered hand pockets, one inside zippered mesh pocket, drawcord hem, elastic cuffs
|Montbell Ex Light Down Jacket
|0.74 oz/yd2 Ballistic Airlight (nylon)
|900 down
|Stand up collar, elastic cuffs
|*The Patagonia Down Sweater has been upgraded since BPL reviewed it in 2005. Data in the table (except loft) are for the current version.
Except for the Montbell Ex Light Down Jacket, all of the jackets in the comparison table are full featured and have narrow horizontal quilting. All of the jackets have a trim fit. The Rab Microlight Jacket has a superb nylon shell (Pertex Microlight) that makes the jacket more durable and very water-resistant (more suitable for mountaineering), and it's also a good value compared to the Mountain Hardwear Nitrous Jacket. The Patagonia Down Sweater now has a heavier, 100% recycled polyester shell and more features, which increase the weight from the previous version. The Montbell Ex Light Down Jacket's loft is similar to the Mountain Hardwear Nitrous Jacket, the weight is half as much, and the cost is significantly lower. However, the jacket does not have any pockets at all, and there is no hem closure.
Ultralight down jackets that are highly quilted so they have narrow down tubes, such as the first three jackets in the above table and the women's version of many jackets, have two basic drawbacks: 1) the narrow tubes do not allow the down to completely expand, and 2) the area adjacent to each seam is not insulated at all. Hold a sewn-through down jacket in front of a window, and you will see what I mean: there's no down in the space about a half an inch along each seam. The more seams, the more cold spots (or cold lines). Perhaps the extra uninsulated space next to the numerous seams is intentional to allow excess heat to escape during high exertion activities? That would explain why the Nitrous Jacket performed well in active pursuits. Or is it simply that a thinner down sweater can be worn comfortably while other down garments cause you to overheat? Actually, both explanations account for the performance.
Yes, the quilting does hold the down in place, but properly filled down chambers (slightly compressed) do not normally have a problem with down shifting. The conventional wisdom for ultralight backpacking is that we want a jacket with a high loft/weight ratio (maximum warmth for the weight), and I will stick with that reasoning for backpacking. For active day trips, perhaps a jacket that allows excess heat to escape more easily – while still being highly wind-resistant – is the best strategy. If I get cold, I can always put a shell on over the insulated jacket.
Overall, the Nitrous Jacket is a mixed bag: it fits well (for a slender person) and performs well in active cool weather pursuits, but its loft/weight ratio is not all that good, and its narrow quilting design is not very thermally efficient. It's also not a very good value; there are several alternative jackets available that have a better loft/weight ratio and cost considerably less.

I want to use some other port for BGP instead TCP 179 . how cam i do it ???
Hi, afzaalq007
I wonder there is any possibilty to do that. I think the reasoning for that is inter-operability. BGP typically runs between different autonomous system. If each AS use a different TCP port, it is very difficult for them to establsh a successful session, let alone exchange routing information between them.
plz chk the output i have pasted below.
Connection state is ESTAB, I/O status: 1, unread input bytes: 0
Local host: CC.BB.NN.YY, Local port: 179
Foreign host: AA.BB.CC.DDD, Foreign port: 12303
Local host is my router and froign host is my upsteram service provider.... ???
How can i do the for my BGP port ???
In this case, when your ISP's router start talking BGP, it radomly generates a port number,(in this case, 12303) and send a TCP SYN packet with source port 12303 and destination port 179 to your router, which happens to listen on port 179. Your router send a SYN ACK packet with source port 179 and destination port 12303 to the ISP router. The ISP ack back again with source port 12303 and destination port 179. Finally the TCP connection is establsihed and both router can exchange BGP nessages on that connection.
Both the port numbers 12303 and 179 are not configurable on your router. One is randomly generated and the other is fixed on BGP code. You don't have to worry about the port numbers because BGP will take care of them.
For your reference, attached are two debugging outputs(debug ip tcp packet and debug ip tcp transaction) which I test it on a Dynamips lab.
I thought BGP connects thru port 179? But I also have the same result. The source port is 179 instead of destination? But the iBGP peer has the inverted TCP connection which specifies 179 as the destination port.
MSFC01#sh tcp brief
TCB Local Address Foreign Address (state)
RTR#sh tcp brie
One router in a BGP peering session will always have the source port as 179, and the destination port as some ephemeral port. The other router will always have the source port as an ephemeral, and the destination port as 179. This is the way any TCP connection should work....
Why is this? Because TCP sessions are always identified by the two ip addresses + the two port numbers. If two devices connected across the same source and destination ports to start a service, there would be no way to start a second TCP session to carry the same service at the same time (a more common instance than you might think--for instance, HTTP may have up to 20 TCP connections to a single server running at the same time).
The first BGP speaker to send an open will use an ephemeral port to connect from, and port 179 to connect to. The other speaker will simply use the ports as they are given, rather than starting a second TCP session.... Note that if both speakers start a session at the same moment (roughly speaking), the one with the higher ID will keep it's session open, and the one with the lower ID will close it's session, so there's always only one TCP session open between the two speakers.
In TCP/IP, source port is always random and you can't change it as it is generated by the application/system. The destination port is a fixed number for well known services and you can change it to any port if the application/system permits or configurable
From PCMAG...
Source Ports
The source port, which can be a random number, is assigned to the client and is used to keep track of user sessions. The combination of port number and IP address is called a "socket."
Destination Ports
The destination port is used to route packets on a server to the appropriate network application. For example, port 80 is the standard port number for HTTP traffic, and port 80 packets are processed by a Web server. Destination ports are typically well-known ports (0-1023) for common Internet applications such as HTTP, FTP and SMTP. It can also be a registered port (1024-49151) that vendors use for proprietary applications.
Source Becomes Destination and Vice Versa
On the return trip response from the server, the destination port number and IP address become the source port number and IP address. Likewise, the source port and IP become the destination port and IP.
We're Listening
The software that responds to a port number is said to be "listening" for its packets. More accurately, the term should be "looking" for its packets, because it is comparing numbers, not "listening" to numbers. However, computer terminology has never been known for clarity.

How Long Has This Been Going On
See more » Listening
That I own Sarah Sings the Pope (whatever it is really called) is all I need to cite to prove my love of Sarah Vaughan's voice. Having How Long Has This Been Going On, which is the only Pablo recording of hers that I didn't own come into my shop was a wonderful treat. Her voice and creativity are in their prime, the musicians solid. The songs are the usual suspects but that is fine if all the people performing are able and enjoying their labor.
Gunther Schuller's The Swing Era became my guidebook when I started exploring big band music. Even though the book is an exemplar of readable scholarship I never read through it. Mostly I consulted the index so I could read his overview of individual bands and performers.
Of Cab Calloway he said there wouldn't be another jazz singer with a comparable octave range until Sarah Vaughan. Naturally I had to find a Sarah Vaughan CD. Gordon found a cheap sampler for me. There were enough cuts that I enjoyed, most strongly those ofthe bop era for me to want more. Gordon had a banged up old Verve box set stored away, some of the discs were damaged but he'd never thrown it away.
Her 50s Verve recordings put me off at first. Middle of the road, too unambitious. Mostly I bought the small group recordings that had appeared on Mercury's EmArcy label. And any live recordings I could find. It was with her that I discovered that jazz singers were far more likely to be playful and improvise in concerts than in the studio. Her Live in Japan will always be one of my favorite jazz vocal CDs. Who knew you could do that with "Maria" from West Side Story.
Her range, virtuosity, judgment, improvisational gifts make her fit my idea of the perfect vocalist. Other folks want other things: emotion, mostly sadness really. When I used to tell people she was my favorite singer the most common response was that Vaughan was too much of a technician.
My tastes matured and I came to appreciate traditional pop, including Sarah Vaughan's. It was Louis Armstrong's work with Russell Garcia that taught me how to hear background strings. Though some, like those added by Jerry Wexler at Atlantic, I'll never forgive. I had to unlearn unconsidered prejudices of what I thought the bad pop culture of the prior generation.
Sarah Vaughan changed the way I hear singing. But that will be another entry.Warning: include(/home/edifying/public_html/pansexualsodomite//common/individual.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/richardlee/domains/pansexualsodomite.org/public_html/archives/listening/how_long_has_this_been_go.php on line 69 Warning: include(/home/edifying/public_html/pansexualsodomite//common/individual.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/richardlee/domains/pansexualsodomite.org/public_html/archives/listening/how_long_has_this_been_go.php on line 69 Warning: include(): Failed opening '/home/edifying/public_html/pansexualsodomite//common/individual.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in /home/richardlee/domains/pansexualsodomite.org/public_html/archives/listening/how_long_has_this_been_go.php on line 69

When the dust settles in the Central League, the top three teams — whoever they may be — might look back at this week as the period when everything either began to come together or started to fall apart.
The Hanshin Tigers and Yomiuri Giants begin the week atop the standings — the Tigers holding a slim advantage on percentage points — with the Chunichi Dragons in third place just 2 1/2 games behind. The fourth-place Tokyo Yakult Swallows are eight games further back, but are 5 1/2 out of a spot in the top three.
To use a golf term, this week resembles the third day of a tournament, often called moving day, and all four teams will be jostling to put themselves in position for a run at the pennant.
In first place by the slimmest of margins, the Tigers have maintained a steady pace over the past few weeks.
Behind Craig Brazell and Kenji Johjima, the Tigers got the job done at the plate and pitched well enough to hang around just long enough to sneak past the Giants.
They open the week with three games against the last-place Yokohama BayStars, which provides an opportunity to pad their lead, before hitting the road for a three-game set against the Giants beginning Friday.
Meanwhile, the Kyojin start in slightly unfamiliar territory — second place and looking up at the Hanshin.
Things will be much worse by end of the week if manager Tatsunori Hara can't cook up a formula to knock the Giants out of the collective funk they've been mired in.
Terrible pitching and a stuttering offense led to a dismal 3-6 record against the league's bottom three teams over the last nine games.
The Giants somewhat got themselves back on track at the plate against the BayStars last weekend — largely riding the bat of a red-hot Edgar Gonzalez — which provides some hope as they head to Nagoya for a three-game series with the Dragons.
Yomiuri is ahead of Chunichi by 2 1/2 games in the standings, so it won't take much of a slip-up for the Giants to be the third-place team when they host the Dragons in a week's time.
Six games out of first place in the not-too-distant past, the Dragons have a chance to end the week on top.
They've won seven out of their last nine games and have played well as the top two teams have slid off their once sizable perches.
The Swallows are the CL's hottest team — 10-2 in their last 12 games — and face the Hiroshima Carp with a chance to improve their position in the race for third. They follow that up with what could be a crucial road series against the Dragons.
The pennant won't be decided this week, but the next six games will have an impact on the race.
A big week by the Giants or Tigers could effectively put the pennant away.
Alternatively, the Dragons could place themselves in position to make an improbable title run, while the Swallows could play their way into the top three or out of contention altogether.
It's moving day in the CL. Four teams have their bags packed, but by the end of the week, only three will have taken a step toward punching a ticket into the climax series.

Final regular season home match and the @PDXRivetersSG are prepared. #BAON https://t.co/0gxybqrACc— Portland Thorns FC (@ThornsFC) August 5, 2013
Portland Thorns FC fans in attendance at the final regular season game were sure to notice the tremendous tifo display put on by the Rose City Riveters supporters group. Hanging high over the north end of the stadium, a beautiful, handcrafted image paid tribute to the Thorns.
Although every fan at JELD-WEN Field appreciated the display, few likely understood the time and effort put in to making it possible. Over 60 people combined for a total of 375 work hours to imagine, create, complete, and execute the tifo display.
The process began in July when Rose City Riveters members came up with and finalized the design. With space, cloth, paint, and rigging provided by the 107ist, the Rose City Riveters began outlining the image. After hours of painting and touch ups the final product was ready to go in time for the August 4th match. Additionally, volunteers prepared accompanying two-stick banners, streamers, and instructions for the execution of the display.
To read the complete story of how the tifo came to life, visit the Rose City Riveters official site.

Full disclosure: My AP Top 25 ballot
One last ballot for the Associated Press Top 25, and Alabama made it easy. A resounding 21-0 victory over LSU justified their presence in the national title game and showed their defense was the single most impressive unit in college football. Two games against the No. 1 team in the country, and they gave up zero touchdowns.
Didn't really consider dropping LSU any lower than No. 2, just based on their overall body of work -- eight wins against ranked opponents. I'm all the more in favor of a plus-one system, in that Oklahoma State has the right to wonder how it would fare against either SEC power.
Hardest thing might have been ranking the three Pac-12 powers -- I felt like Oregon reinforced its position as the best of the group in beating Wisconsin. Even though USC beat the Ducks, I still see USC's loss to Arizona State as easily the worst loss among the three, and Stanford got the edge based on the head-to-head result. I can understand how others arrived at different answers from the same three-team puzzle.
Do you rank Michigan State or Wisconsin higher? They split two meetings, had the same record ... Michigan State won its bowl in OT, Wisconsin lost to a top-five team by a single score. I went with Wisconsin because they won the Big Ten championship and played as well as Michigan State in the bowl game. I also slid both ahead of Baylor -- that offense is incredible, but giving up 56 points to Washington, not so much so.
Bottom of the poll? Thought about Cincinnati, but the Bearcats really don't have a quality win, and two bad losses to Tennessee and Rutgers. Dropped Penn State out in favor of a five-loss Auburn, which had all its losses to current ranked teams and had a bunch of quality wins, led by South Carolina. Missouri also got a look, but the wins weren't quite as good ... As always, thanks for your feedback on this ...

Tasting Notes by George S. Grant (Glenfarclas Brand Ambassador)
A wonderful lighter whisky. From a sherry cask but without the rich colour you will find with other whiskies from The Family Cask Collection. However, it's still rather dark.
This whisky is fresh and lively, and makes for a superb aperitif. A little vanilla first, followed by some smoke, then light citrus notes.
A beautiful full whisky that deserves time for you to appreciate it fully.

Real men shave with a razor holder they print themselves. Sorry Gillette.
It works - the picture is of me having just shaved half my face with it.
To print: top, bottom and handle prints
m3 nut and screw.
- Print the 3 STL files on your favorite open-source 3-D printer.
- Place an m3 nut in the nut trap in the handle.
- Place a double edge blade on the top piece as shown in the picture in red.
- Then place the bottom on it and squeeze - the metal blade will bend slightly. This needs to happen to angle the blade so it is good for shaving.
- Push the m3 screw through the sandwich of the top, blade, and bottom - and then screw it on to the handle.
You have now just made yourself a safety razor that retails between $20-80 online.
If you never shaved with a safety razor before - ask your grandpa how to do it or read the Art of Manliness http://artofmanliness.com/2008/01/04/how-to-shave-like-your-grandpa/
or Life Hacker http://lifehacker.com/5313711/learn-the-economical-art-of-wet-shaving http://lifehacker.com/197065/introduction-to-traditional-wetshaving
or watch a demo on Youtube
A 10 pack of Merkur Double Edge Platinum Blades cost about $5 - or 28 cents per blade on Amazon. The plastic for the print and the left over m3s you have from building your RepRap are basically free. A normal guy might go through one double blade every two weeks if you switch the side you are using. So blade costs for safety razor shaving is about $7/year.
Gillette cartridges are around $10 per cartridge. The website http://www.realmenrealstyle.com/learn-to-shave-like-man/ puts the cost of shaving using drugstore blades at $300/year. In fairness, Fortune reports that Gillette says they last 5 weeks, which only puts costs of just the cartridges at about $104/year instead of $300. You can judge for yourself based on your own blade life.
So if we use Real Men's numbers and assume men start shaving at 10-15 years of age and live to about 75-80 - you can estimate about 65 years of shaving - which would save you about $19,000. Not bad.
I noticed that cut hair tends to get trapped in the ridges in between layers ââ¬â so this is yet another reason to improve open-source 3-D printer resolution.
I just made this so I don't know how often you need to print new components.
The printed razor holder is obviously much lighter than the traditional steel variety- I actually like this, but you might want to mess around with fill settings or design to get something you like. The OpenSCAD files are included. They are a bit crude and not quite parametric - apologies. This is a start at what could be a really good replacement product.
Next version - put the tabs on the bottom, then can thin the top and make it curved for a closer shave. You can get the same effect with the curved top but this is hard to print.
I would love if someone hacked this and made a women's razor.

A bit late on this, but whatever.
You could try solving the issue of hairs getting stuck between layers by printing it out of ABS and acetone smoothing it.
Every time I try to slice this I get manifold error/holes. Any chance you could touch this up?
I just posted my take on a safety razor, I would've posted it as a derivative but I had to change a lot, it took me about a week to get it just right. If you have issues with the original, give my version a shot. You can find it here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:61169http://www.thingiverse.com/thi...
Thanks for posting this, jpearce! I wouldn't have tried making my own if it wasn't for your original.
I love this as this is one of my goals for society (just look at my info on here). BRAVO!
This is amazing. I can't wait for someone to fork this and print a 5 blade version using standard blades to compete with the crazy marketing driven ones. New model: Print the razor, sell the blade (cheaply!)
How about a parametrized one that will let you have as many blades as you want.
You would have to be exceedingly brave to actually shave using a 5 bladed self made razor (given the probable blade angle you would get out of the blades)...

text: Gay and lesbian-friendly wedding cake toppers #Stuff we love#cake topper#gay#gender#genderqueer#lesbian weddings#LGBTQ#queer January 10 | Megan Finley Horowitz meggyfin Unhappy truth: It's hard to find an abundance of gay-friendly and/or gender neutral wedding stuff. From advice, to porn, to products … our gender-bending, same-sex-loving friends constantly get the shaft. Recently, we got a request for advice on where to find same-sex cake toppers, so I thought I'd show you some of the ones I've found over the years… Weddingstar is an interesting company. They're the ones that brought us some of the most barf-tastic and insulting cake toppers, but they're also one of only companies that make a bride-in-a-suit topper and sell their mini-people in separates, like this bride, and the more casual groom in grey. They also have offbeat toppers of color. The "Sisters by Heart" figure from Willow Tree is as sweet as can be. "Sisters," huh? Yeah… okay. (wink wink) This Ty Wilson porcelain statuette of two brides wearing dresses features four different ethnicities of brides that can be mixed and matched. Ty Wilson also makes the same version with the dual bouquet for dudes. In fact, WeddingCollectibles.com is one of the only places that you can find wedding cake toppers that work for gay couples of color. Unless you go the custom route… These two-bride cake toppers from GayWeddings.com are completely customizable, including the hair, eyes and skin color, height, clothes and even the pose. Related Post This wedding is super gay! 5 ways to make your wedding gay as hell It's Pride Month, y'all, and everyone should be giving props to the LGBTQ community and their weddings. Well, not everyone. Some folks have concerns about... Read more Blingy goodness over here is not only sparkly-as-fuck, but it's one of the only alphabet-type cake toppers that doesn't assume you're both taking the same name. Swarovski ampersand FTW! (Say that three-times fast.) For those of you who don't want to shell out tons of dough for a blingy ampersand, check out Hortense B. Hewitt's wedding cake letters where you can also purchase an ampersand and a heart. Aw, gender-neutral love birds are in love! Here's another casually ambiguous kissing couple, it reminds me a lot of this cake topper. But I like that this is multi-purpose — it's actually a salt and pepper shaker. To see more magnetic salt and pepper shakers that could be cake toppers, including many that are gender neutral, check out this post. I thought for sure some of these skeletal cake toppers would be gender-neutral, I mean, they're skulls. But alas, they very clearly bride-y and groom-y. So I took my search over to Etsy for some Day of Dead (Gay of the Dead?) cake toppers. This one from Localovespirate comes in grooms and brides. This one is romantic as hell. Seriously, it's even called the "romance" lesbian cake topper. It's hand-painted, including small Swarovski crystal wedding bands, and hair accents! Something about this Nene Thomas Fairy Figurine reminded me of Anli and Laura's lesbian gamer geek wedding. Couple that lovely lady with this lovely lady and you have an amazing lesbian fantasy wedding cake topper. Does anyone else out there have advice on where to find good gay-friendly wedding cake toppers? If so, leave 'em in the comments.

Careful, or we'll get used to this. 😉 9 agree Reply love these! also check out http://www.gayketoppers.com for the discriminating cake topper for those who do not discriminate…. a universal caketopper designed and hand-crafted by a lesbian architect in pasadena, ca. the specular aluminum rings are packaged in a glass jar with a tea candle to allow transformation from cake topper or sculptural object into a tea light lantern (tea light included) – see website for transformation into lantern. Reply I've seen LOTS of cute animal wedding toppers on etsy. I was thinking of getting those mainly because I hate how cheesy a lot of bride/groom wedding toppers are. 5 agree Reply hah, we actually considered the last of your suggestions for our fairy springfest wedding :DD because honestly, if it's hard trying to find lesbian cake toppers, it's nearly impossible to find lesbian FAIRY cake toppers. i love that "sisters by heart" one though. a lot. we might just opt out of cake toppers completely, or make them ourselves. i had a brief moment of wanting to use my highly adorable miniature my little pony figures.. until my fiancées look popped my bubble of excitement 🙁 she's right, of course… but they would've rocked that cake. 5 agree Reply My Little Ponies rock! I would love to see a cake with pony toppers! 5 agree Reply We've been planning for ages to put our favorite rubber ducks on the cake (we've got a small collection). His is a black, devil pirate one, while mine is a little white one wearing a hat and scarf.

And I'm a nerd. 4 agree Reply We're using Han and Leia action figures as our cake toppers! Action figure cake toppers ftw! 4 agree Reply If you were doing cupcakes and into diy, I would suggest going to a toy store/model building store. They should have various models in various scales (army guys, people to hang out on model train landscapes, etc) that can be painted however you want. Gender neutral, maybe not so much. Customizable for race and sexual orientation? Totally. 4 agree Reply Awesome suggestions 🙂 4 agree Reply I think this one's my absolute favourite: http://www.weddingcollectibles.com/Romance-Gay-Lesbian-Wedding-Cake-Topper-p-3561.html 4 agree Reply ..Actually my parents got me and my sister the sisters one when we were younger as a gift as a symbol of family unity. but okay. haha 3 agree Reply Melabo on etsy will make them for you. http://www.etsy.com/shop/melabo?page=1 Though the last male ones she did seemed to be standing a bit far from each other, so I'd suggest asking if they could be closer: http://www.etsy.com/transaction/40680393 She can take the heads from certain molds and put them on other bodies, so an easy mix and match! As for interracial, they're all the same color though once in a while she paints them. 4 agree Reply A guy-guy wedding I went to actually used toy soldiers as cake toppers. It was pretty cute. 3 agree Reply This is why I love etsy. Here are a few that are awesome – and they are mostly *completely* customizable (gender, ethnicity, etc.): http://www.etsy.com/listing/51117836/custom-wooden-star-house-likeness (my favorite!!) http://www.etsy.com/listing/25780037/dancing-bride-and-bride-waterless http://www.etsy.com/listing/34748291/custom-designed-and-hand-sculpted http://www.etsy.com/listing/50812746/paper-wedding-cake-topper-two-grooms http://www.etsy.com/listing/53664561/i-do-two-brides-iowa-plate http://www.etsy.com/listing/27343563/same-sex-wedding-cake-toppers-completely 3 agree Reply Great finds, Rizubunny! 3 agree Reply Do you what else is hard to find?

And you are soooooooo right about the initial thing being annoying, as not all couple take the same last name. I am, but it's only because I despise my biological father and can't wait to get rid of his name once and for all. 3 agree Reply my mom actually got my fiancee & i that willow tree 'sisters at heart' figurine for christmas (she adorably did the whole 'i know you two arent sisters,..but i thought the two girls holding hands fit' cuteness)! i hadn't thought to use that as our cake topper…i think it would work perfectly and would be a sentimental touch! 4 agree Reply My nephew bought us smurfette brides. Pretty cool for a 13 year old. 4 agree Reply ZOMG! Smurfette? Best idea EVAR!!! – Becca 3 agree Reply So I am not at all affiliated with this store, I was looking for a cute valentines gift that my honeyy would like and I discovered some interesting same-sex couple cake topper. They are "more traditional" complete with a gazebos. Not everyone's style, but hey it is another option. Here is the link for the two grooms http://www.mcphee.com/shop/products/Two-Grooms-Cake-Topper.html and here is the one for two brides http://www.mcphee.com/shop/products/Two-Brides-Cake-Topper.html 3 agree Reply I found this on Etsy, SO CUTE! http://www.etsy.com/listing/34748291/custom-designed-and-hand-sculpted 3 agree Reply We customized some little cute dolls I found in a store for my friend's cake topper, they loved it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/philandsean/4027743354/in/faves-jennywenny/ 2 agree Reply I realize my comment is a little delayed at this point, but these cake toppers are great for same sex weddings: http://www.etsy.com/listing/79655111/same-sex-cake-toppers-day-of-the-dead http://www.etsy.com/listing/79818821/same-sex-day-of-the-dead-cake-topper 2 agree Reply My girlfiend and I used the Died and Groomed mini living dead dolls. Whilest not two females it fitted in with our black and red themed and was such a different idea gender didnt facture in. 3 agree Reply Fiance and I are looking for something specific. Have seen and fallen in love with cake toppers that are 2 rings. Sadly, they are all for straight couples and one of the rings always comes with a "diamond" on top. Would totally be up for just ripping the "diamond" off, but I think that would probably leave an awkward mark. Anyone seen toppers of just two plain silver/titanium/platinum looking bands? 2 agree Reply Saw this website with a really varied collection of Gay and Lesbian friendly cake toppers, some I have not seen before and some I have. Hope this is a helpful resource! http://www.weddingcollectibles.com/Gay-Cake-Toppers.html 2 agree Reply I work at a photo lab and recently developed a customer's photos… He and his husband used two stuffed teddies dressed as grooms. It was adorable, and totally fitting because they were bears ;D love it! 2 agree Reply I want to see a bride caketopper in a black tux for once, real smooth and classy like James Bond. *drool* Reply I'm trying to track down the perfect Alice and Mad Hatter for my soon-to-be wifey and I. I don't want the Disney version. I would be fine with the Tim Burton style, but I would prefer something styled after the original illustration. Any ideas? Reply Wouldn't it be a better idea to get those paintable figurines of anime & sci-fi characters. Not sure what they're generically called, but I find them on most geek dedicated sites. Also, how about asking a friend for a tiny figurines sculpted in clay or play-doh- that could be thier wedding gift to you or if you can do it, great! Reply I came across this blog and I want to share two links of the same sex wedding cake topper,too. http://www.wecaketoppers.com/samesex-wedding-topper_c47.html?zenid=aotc4s88gulluvvn6mj0d3oiu4 https://www.etsy.com/listing/164060124/gay-weeding-cake-toppers-same-sex-cake?ref=related-0 3 agree Reply Found these for my brother's wedding http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mr-and-Mr-Wedding-Cake-Topper-Groom-and-Groom-Male-Gay-Premium-Cake-Topper-LGBT-/121452114006?ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wedding-Groom-Cake-Topper-Brown-Hair-Medium-Complexion-Black-Suit-Best-Man-/121381656284?ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT Reply Join the conversation Cancel Reply Your email address will not be published.

Top two teams come up short
No. 1 Kentucky and No. 2 Ohio State fall
Christian Watford's buzzer-beating 3-pointer from the left wing stood up to a replay review, giving Indiana a stunning 73-72 upset over top-ranked Kentucky yesterday at Bloomington, Ind.
Watford finished with 20 points, giving the Hoosiers their first win over a top-ranked team since taking down Duke in the 2002 NCAA Tournament. Fans stormed the court as officials looked at the replay before counting the basket.
The Hoosiers (9-0) are off to their best start since 1989-90.
Doron Lamb scored 19 points to lead the Wildcats (8-1) and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist added 18 as Kentucky's three-game winning streak over Indiana ended.
The lead changed hands five times in the final 121 seconds.
Down 71-70, Watford missed a 15-footer with 28 seconds left. Kentucky's Anthony Davis couldn't seal it, missing the front end of a one-and-one.
Then, after an Indiana turnover, Lamb was fouled with 5.6 seconds to go but missed the first of two shots. After making the second, the Hoosiers rushed up the floor and Verdell Jones dumped the ball to the trailing Watford, who hit from the left wing to end it.
Kentucky committed 17 turnovers and allowed a season-high point total.
Kansas 78, Ohio State 67 - Thomas Robinson scored 21 points, Elijah Johnson added 15, and the No. 13 Jayhawks (6-2) never trailed against the second-ranked Buckeyes (8-1), who had to play without star forward Jared Sullinger (back spasms).
Freshman forward Kevin Young scored a career-best 14 points off the bench, and Tyshawn Taylor had 9 points and a career-high 13 assists for Kansas, which extended its winning streak to 47 games over nonconference opponents at Allen Fieldhouse.
William Buford had 17 of his 21 points in the second half for Ohio State, which was playing on the road for the first time this season. DeShaun Thomas added 19 points.
Syracuse 85, George Washington 50 - Dion Waiters had 19 points and six steals, both career highs, and the No. 3 Orange (10-0) cruised by the visiting Colonials.
North Carolina 84, Long Beach St. 78 - John Henson had 24 points and 10 rebounds and Harrison Barnes added 20 points to help the fourth-ranked Tar Heels (8-2) beat the visiting 49ers (4-5).
Louisville 80, Fairleigh Dickinson 58 - Gorgui Dieng had 14 points and 12 rebounds to lift the No. 5 Cardinals (9-0) over the visiting Knights (1-8).
Duke 86, Washington 80 - Freshman Austin Rivers scored 18 points and the seventh-ranked Blue Devils (9-1) overcame a 27-for-44 performance at the line to beat the Huskies (4-4) at Madison Square Garden.
Xavier 76, Cincinnati 53 - The eighth-ranked Musketeers beat the crosstown rival Bearcats (5-3) in a game that was called with 9.4 seconds left when the teams got into a brawl.
Words escalated into shoving and swings as the final seconds ticked down. Both benches cleared and coaches pulled their players away, and the referees called it.
Mark Lyons scored 19 points for Xavier (8-0).
Missouri 84, Navy 59 - Marcus Denmon scored 22 points and the No. 10 Tigers (9-0) posted their 64th straight home victory against nonconference opponents with a blowout of the visiting Midshipmen (3-8).

Pittsburgh 74, Oklahoma St. 68 - Ashton Gibbs scored 17 points and the No. 15 Panthers (9-1) beat the Cowboys (6-3) at Madison Square Garden.
All three of the Cowboys losses have come at Madison Square Garden.
Mississippi St. 106, Troy 68. - Dee Bost scored a season-best 28 points, Arnett Moultrie added 20 points and 12 rebounds, and the 17th-ranked Bulldogs (9-1) cruised past the visiting Trojans (4-4).

Johnson & Wales 87, Emerson 82 - An outstanding performance from Nathan Firn (39 points, 8 rebounds) wasn't enough to lift the Lions (1-8, 1-2 GNAC) past the Wildcats (2-6, 1-2), and visiting Emerson lost in overtime.
Emmanuel 64, Norwich 41 - Theo Robinson had 10 points and tied a school record with 19 boards as the Saints (4-4, 3-0 GNAC) topped the host Cadets (1-7, 0-2).

I can only breathe from one side of my nose, and that side changes throughout the day. This has been going on for as long as I can remember. While playing basketball in high school I was hit in the nose, and received the only bloody nose I've ever had. If I had to pin point a time where I may have experienced "trauma" to my nose it would be then.
I Can Only Breathe from One Side of my Nose Which Changes Day To Day, What's The Cause?
Doctor Answers 2
Breathing issue that alternates between each side of nose
Trauma to the nose can result in a fracture or deviation of the internal portion of the septum known as a deviated septum. A deviated septum usually causes decreased breathing issues consistently out of one side of the nose. A tall thin nose with flail upper lateral cartilages can also cause what is known as valve collapse and vestibular stenosis on the internal portion of the nose and is accentuated when trauma occurs to his midthird of the nose. The breathing issues that occur from side to side consistently changing throughout the day is more likely caused from turbinate hypertrophy, which is caused from a variety of issues such as allergies, altitude, air pressure changes, hormones, and sinuses problems. The diagnosis of this must be made at the time of the physical examination.
Learn more: http://seattlefacial.com
Breathing through one side of the nose can be norma.
What you are describing is normal. Throughout the day, one side of the nose will be congested while the other side does most of the breathing. When breathing, the movement of air through one nostril can cause dryness. To allow the nostril to remoisten itself, it will become congested and the other side will do the breathing. This cycle occurs continuously throughout the day

BWW TV: Watch Highlights of Randy Newman, Laura Osnes, Tony Vincent & More in Encores! FAUST
Michael Cerveris, Isaiah Johnson, Randy Newman, Laura Osnes, Vonda Shepard, Brooklyn Shuck, Tony Vincent and Broadway Inspirational Voices star alongside Randy Newman in Faust: The Concert, which will be performed tonight, July 1 as the second Encores! Off-Center presentation of the 2014 season. Faust will be directed by Thomas Kail and choreographed by Marcos Santana. Jeanine Tesori is the Encores! Off-Center artistic director; Chris Fenwick is its music director. BroadwayWorld brings you a sneak peek of the cast in action below!
Randy Newman's FAUST: The Concert, with music and lyrics by Randy Newman, is, according to Newman, "like Goethe's Faust Pt. 1, but more complex psychologically; more like Pt. 2 but not the product of an ordered mind. The Lord and the Devil are childhood friends who in adulthood have a falling out. The Devil is expelled from Heaven, somewhat arbitrarily some might say, and though he reigns in Hell, he longs to return to his childhood home. He goes up to visit Heaven for the first time in a long while. He finds the Lord and tells him Man is bad, and should never have been created. The Lord says that He doesn't make mistakes. As they did in the 12th, 14th and 16th centuries, they bet on it, pick a young Notre Dame freshman as a representative specimen and hilarity ensues." The musical opened in 1995 at the La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego and was revived at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago in 1996.
Randy Newman's Faust: The Concert will play on Tuesday, July 1 at 7:30 pm. Tickets start at $25 and can be purchased at the New York City Center Box Office (West 55th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues), through CityTix at 212-581-1212, or online at www.NYCityCenter.org.

Tater Trot Tracker
Michael Morse's Totally Bizarre Grand Slam Trot
In St. Louis Saturday, Washington's Michael Morse hit a grand slam early in the game. It was an interesting experience. Watch it yourself:
If you want, you can skip most everything between 0:28 and 2:40, as that's just the umpires reviewing the oddest grand slam you'll ever see. Surrounding those two minutes is Morse getting tagged out on his grand slam before being forced to run the bases backwards and, finally, re-enacting the entire home run sequence, including a phantom swing from the batter's box. It's bizarre. For a more complete breakdown of the longest (by distance) home run trot you've ever seen, refer to the image below.
The play begins at point 1, when Morse hits a grand slam over the rightfield fence at Busch Stadium...
How bizarre is that! Everytime I watch that clip—of Morse running around the bases backwards and then miming a home run swing—it gets better and better. This may be my favorite home run trot of all time. Nice work, everyone!

The umpires made him go all the way back to the batters' box because they wanted to make sure you would get a valid Trot Time.

Third times the charm.
Haven't played in a bit, but signed up. Will spend some time on the pub getting to know everyone.
Perhaps we should keep the maps to pretty standard fare so everyone is sure to be familiar with them?
Perhaps we should keep the maps to pretty standard fare so everyone is sure to be familiar with them?
I propose: Goldrush for PL, Freight_final1 for CP, and Gravelpit for attack-defend.
Ugh, not freight. How about Fastlane?
I know it's still custom at this point, but you aren't going to find a better CTF than Landfall IMHO.
perhaps best 2 / 3 for the cp and ctf maps too so that the matches aren't over in 10 minutes
I'd like to give it a shot this time.
I'm in if you'll have me. BuckDharma on Steam and generally more of a support guy now that I'm a cranky old bastich. You wouldn't have wanted to face me in Quake II, now I run and hide to heal and fix things! Soon as I get my mic I'll hit up the server and serve as target practice for y'all.
Yeah I do hope those people who don't play with us much come on to the server more often and make themselves known. It'll be difficult to draft you guys if we don't know you! There were lots of people in the last tournament who just don't play much at all and some I had never seen before or since.
tl;dr version: everyone play more!
perhaps best 2 / 3 for the cp and ctf maps too so that the matches aren't over in 10 minutes
I would love to see Turbine for CTF, but with an engy cap. There is a pro version of it here, supposed to be much better balanced.
I don't think I can commit to a tourney schedule, but put me on the alt list.
Oh yeah.
OK, I'm in.. Its been 2 months since I've played though. I'll need the special uber spy hat from someone. You know, the one that lets you stab cloaked and remain cloaked.
Unless that's still a "rumor"... If so, forget this post.
Sign up twice? man that is too much work.
I'm in and volunteered for captain... I must be insane!

I subscribe to the following, which is a continuation of force matching the threat level.
1. You notice a possible threat- Your attention level goes to high-alert. You take notice of small, otherwise almost insignificant things (hand placement, proximity, positioning, eye contact, etc...)
2. Threat level increases by verbal contact, proximity, or threat posturing- You ready your weapon to be retrieved (ready to clear cover garments, move closer to cover, gain distance, make verbal contact if appropriate).
3. Weapon is produced - Produce your own weapon and TAKE AIM. It is important to take aim at this point in order to gain the upper hand in the engagement in order to end it.
4. Attacker progresses attack by advancing or aiming - You fire utnil the conflict is resolved.
I feel like this is immediately applicable.

then he says, "They are calling the police as we speak....I'm going to die here, okay."
see 3:50/52
Even the board member restated the gunman's words about killing himself, so it would be hard to miss. The gunman made it very clear he was going to die there that day.
It is a tough position to be in, especially for a person with isn't trained in such matters.

The woman, Pursewhacker, DOES have some guts. Lots of guts. Guts-galore. I think more people tend to freeze into inaction than don't; even the armchair security force. Honestly, I think if I listen hard enough, I can hear her brain scream, "He's right there! DO SOMETHING!" right before she did the first thing she could think of and hits his hand. It probably wasn't the smartest thing she could come up with. Lord knows she didn't have much time to assess, and it probably won't go down in her memory as one of her more glorious moments. But possibly turning an armed assailant to kill you where you stand takes enormous courage. I think "hero" might be a bit extravagant. But inspiring? You bet. Courageous? Without a doubt. Self-sacrificing? Why not. And she was the only one there who was willing to close distance and make contact with him. Once confronted, she simply did what made the most sense to her to ensure she didn't get killed: Make it an incredibly dishonorable act (more-so than it already was) by forcing him to kill a kneeling, crying, woman after she saw him care enough to ask most of the women to leave.
Another question occurs to me, and it might start a little debate (hopefully the honorable kind).
The security officer, Husfelt, did what he was trained to do; call the police and wait for backup. He made sure that he was in close enough proximity to engage if necessary, but he also could not have a clear view of the precipitating events. If the gunman were to raise his weapon and fire, and a citizen were to engage him with a firearm and take him down; what is the probability that the security guard, hearing the gunfire, comes in and sees one or more people on the floor and a person with a weapon and returns fire on that person.
I realize that the single threat had already been identified, but the time from shots to return fire seemed to be just enough to get in the room and aim a weapon. Those gears are turning mighty fast. Should the guard have been in the room to witness the events as they unfolded in order to make sure to minimize the risk of misinterpretation of the situation that he sees only for a split second?

People tend to stick around when things get odd. They like to stare and watch so they can get a good story for their friends. However, its always best to leave when the situation seems to be getting beyond the point of normal.
One tactic is the five person rush. Before a situation gets out of control, five people rush the man. Each person grabs a limb...i.e. one person grabs a leg while another person grabs an arm. The fifth person disarms the man. This is something that you can practice with a group of people at work as a way to handle these situations. In this situation, while the man was spray painting the wall, 5 people could have rushed and each grabbed a limb. Another moment was when the lady came in and hit the man with her purse. The board members could have rushed him.
The key ingredient is to take care of these situations at the start rather then waiting for it to escalate. Human nature is to stay still, be quiet and hope that help arrives. However, if someone produces a weapon in the workplace then they mean to use it. There is usually one or two opportune moments where an attacker can be rushed and disarmed. By practicing these situations with your work team then you can defuse these situations. The key is for everyone to move at once and act quickly.
Another idea is to search handbags and do a minimal pat-down. If a pat-down is not practical, then at least look in hand-bags, have people wearing baggy/loose clothing lift up their shirt to see the waistband, have people open up their jackets and look for bulges that would suggest they might have a weapon. Im not sure why an armed officer or security guard was not stationed in the room. I know at small town meetings around here there is always a uniformed officer standing somewhere inside. Its also a good idea to place these meetings near a police station. Around here, the town hall and police station are side by side so meetings are right next to the station.
When you have groups of public officials meeting in one place, especially when people are getting terminated from their employment in mass, then its a good idea to have at least minimal security. I would be careful about attending public meetings where there is no security.

on the nightly news it was just said that the
gun was a "smith and wesson 9mm"
i dont think they said more than that
they possibly could have added "semi automatic" but i
cant remember
sorry for not being more precise or able to give a
specific citation
Now I don't know, but I been told it's hard to run with the weight of gold.
Other hand I have heard it said, it's just as hard with the weight of lead.

If the shooter had wanted to shoot everyone, the 5 person rush from behind a desk is a nonstarter. Let's be real.
A reasonable shooter could from a surprise start (to the victims) put a shot in everyone in about 3 seconds. You going to get up and over the desk in that time? How long to overcome shock and surprise?
Remember the table of police officers shot at the coffee shop.
I've tried a simulation of the mass charge from behind desks with a shooter at reasonable room distance. You get shot if you are in the front.
Let's have naked public meetings, pat downs, X-ray scenes, etc.
We might argue for carry. If you are trained and not immediately shot by surprise, you had a chance here.

I have no definitive answer for the OP's question, but what astounds me is the assumption that Clay Duke's gun was loaded with blanks. Even after the gunfight ends you can hear a man proclaiming, "They're not real, I don't think. He had caps, Mike, that's what he wanted right there."
If someone is pointing a gun at you, does it not seem hazardous to assume that it's loaded with blanks and that the gunman only wants to harm himself and not you? And then, even after the guy points at you and fires, to continue to labor under the same assumption?

ESPECIALLY, if it's being held by someone else.
Even at the LGS, I frequent, when someone is playing with the merchandise and I already watched both the salesman and the customer check the chamber, I still don't like the muzzle pointed in my direction...

So just when are these folks going to actually have time to do their jobs?
It is easy to know what to do after we know what happened. It isn't easy to know what to do when it is actually happening.
Once again, when are these folks going to have the time to do their actual jobs.? Training to be an efficient, tight knit unarmed reaction force that can react in unison to unplanned circumstances to overwhelm an attacker is going to take months or years to accomplish.
Okay, we have that settled. Now we need to train the school board to be able to handle two attackers with guns. Bad guys aren't always solo. How long will that take?
Of course, they need to be trained to handle the school board meeting situation, but also must have the same training when doing their regular school administration duties when they aren't in the meeting room.
Wait, we need everyone to have all this training because bad guys don't always just attack school boards.
Somehow, it just doesn't seem so easy anymore. The reality of the unknown is much more complex to plan for than an event that has already passed.

I just saw a TV interview with the security guard who took down the shooter. It answered some questions I had about why he didn't shoot before the gunman shot at the school board members. He was outside the door and the gunman was between him and the school board, and all of the school board members were sitting upright before the shooter started firing. This meant that the security guard had to get inside the door before he could get off an aimed shot, and opening the door may have incited the shooter to start firing. In any case, the security guard would be shooting in the same direction of the board members. That's why he had to wait until the guy fired a shot to come in and shoot.
The security guard didn't say so, but I also believe some of the people in the room didn't believe the shooters gun was real. One apparently didn't believe he was firing real bullets even after the shooting was over.

Im not saying to have naked public meetings, but at the least, a minimal amount of security. Have an armed uniformed police officer or security guard stand over to the side looking over the room. Take a glance into handbags and anyone wearing loose clothing or a jacket take a look inside. After this incident, I would expect increased security at public meetings nationwide. If I walked into a public meeting after this incident and was asked to submit to a pat down then I would understand as to why. In fact, if there was no security at the meeting then I would be concerned and bewildered.
I know when there are mass layoffs at certain private companies they do hire off-duty police officers or armed security guards to hang around the property for a few weeks until things settle down. If the school board just had a big layoff, then they should have implemented some type of security. The police department should have done something to assist with the meeting.
As for the rush, I believe there are some active shooters who have every intention on killing as many people as possible. Some active shooters would have killed all six men or may have not let anyone in the meeting room go and then tried to unload on everybody. A "rush" is a risky maneuver and someone is going to get shot, but I think I would rather take my chances rushing the man then have myself get lined up and shot or shot in place. If I am moving while I am shot, then chances are I will be hit in a place that he is not aiming for.

I took a moment to study the article about the 4 officers at the coffee shop. It appears that two officers were shot while sitting. They probably had no time to react. A third officer barely had time to stand up. Then the fourth officer was able to react and rush the shooter. I dont believe they had time to do anything let alone rush the suspect as a group.
In this situation, there were a few opportune moments and there was time. This active shooter decided to fire and miss. Other active shooters would not have been so kind.
"Training to be an efficient, tight knit unarmed reaction force that can react in unison to unplanned circumstances to overwhelm an attacker is going to take months or years to accomplish."
Morgan Stanley's Chief of Security Cyril Rescorla made the Morgan Stanley employees go through drills after the truck bombing in 1992. He made sure that every Morgan Stanley employee working in that building had specific training in regards to evacuation. He ran periodic fire drills where Morgan Stanley employees would evacuate the building. Cyril was not concerned when Morgan's employees could do their jobs. If it was not for his efforts, then then some 2700 employees would not be living today. He actually ignored the advice the authorities were given to him and evacuated the building according to his plan.
Today there are domestic threats and these incidents are popping up. Each company has to have a plan and drill periodically.

The rush - your chances are crappy. That's why we should push for carry.
I assume competent shooters at the worst case. Some rampage shooters have practiced. At VT, Cho hosed a charging brave young man.
Like I said, in simulation, I've seen good shooters at a normal room distance manage to put rounds into chargers.
One can say - OH, you shouldn't give up and die. Or do nothing.
My point is posting heroic sounding posturing isn't that useful. Realistic evaluation is better than tough guy talk.
Watch a good shooter from the start engage multiple targets. If you think you could have gotten up and to the school shooter, you are mistaken.
It is possible that you could have drawn and engaged if not the first one shot.
So, spare me the rhetoric about being lined up and die. Sure, if you are going to die, go for it but be realistic. All this about grabbing his limbs, blah, blah.
This is another reason for quality FOF training. Try it. The NTI does this kind of thing. I charged - I died. Another time, I was real close and did a disarm.
Don't just through out impractical plans as if you are expert and telling us what to do as if they would work.
We all aren't Taffy 3 at Leyte Gulf.
Now about patting everyone down at public meetings. If legal, I carry at public places. So, should Mister Security Guard disarm me when I want to just say my piece? Just ban guns!! That will stop felons from carrying them at all.
Should Mr. Security Guard almost give me a happy ending because I know how to conceal better than the described pat down. Get real again.

i am very disappointed with the lack of effort by those who left the room to get help it sounded like there was a safty officer of some sort who did come in and then quickly left
the old lady is the only one who tried to do anything
maybe the outcome would have been different and maybe not
there were multiple exits in that room which means multiple entries there were so many things that could have been done but people sat and watched and never stood up for what they know to be right
thank you mainstream America for another job left to some one else because it is risk, difficult, or some other way inconvenient for you. our forefathers are beaming at us now!
call it a tough guy act or what ever you want
i was taught that if you know something is right and you dont act on it you are doing the wrong thing (jamse4 17) integrity has little to do with religion
that woman with the purse was as far from tough as it gets
tring to beat down a man 4 times your size with a purse aint to smart either
those are the cards she had so she played them
we dont always get the best hand but that shouldnt be any reason just to sit there with you tail down

X Games adds RallyCross race to Munich
A second RallyCross medal race has been added to the X Games Munich competitive schedule this month as the action sports event's global expansion touches down in Germany.
The new race -- which will be run on the afternoon of June 29 -- is a welcome addition to the competitive schedule, Tim Reed, X Games senior director of content strategy and sports and competition, told XGames.com. "It's going to be interesting to see two RallyCross races on the same weekend."
Both races will feature the same list of invited athletes. Tanner Foust, Ken Block, Brian Deegan and X Games Foz gold medalist Scott Speed top the lineup. Travis Pastrana will not make it to Munich because of a NASCAR scheduling conflict.
RallyCross was canceled last month at X Games Barcelona because of adverse weather conditions, and this new race -- featuring the same invitees, prize money and medals -- "allows us to get back up to the same number of races we had originally planned for [at the outset of the season]," Reed said.
Unfortunately, Reed added, because of permitting restrictions, the public will not be able to watch the race in person. It will, however, be accessible live at ESPN3 and on the ESPN prime-time broadcast.
X Games Munich begins June 27.

--List multiple contact people for all your shows; manager, secretary, stabling, feed, etc.
Sponsored Assoc shows : each show described on an Assoc ad, can also be a stand-alone show ad.
(See enhnaced ad info below.)
Note - All ads bump closer to the top when freshly edited. This keeps all information fresh and relevant for site readers.

Enhanced Featured Ads :
A Featured Association ad (discounted or not) includes a list of show(s) sponsored by the association, but you can add a Featured Show status, and this show ad stands alone as a featured show ad, PLUS is also inter-linked right on your featured association ad. Both will be mutually linked. As each is read by the public, one ad will lead to the others, as well as each ad being displayed according to the appropriate breeds and disciplines, etc. This increases traffic to both ads. Price= $30
Note: If at any time you discontinue your first ad, your shows ad will revert to the full price from that day forward.
If you wish to add several inter-linked show ads, each additional inter-linked ad is only $30.
