Lots of you that read {a mom's view of ADHD} have young children. Not me. I've already survived the confusing "early" years and the horrendously hard "middle school" years. My son, dubbed by us long ago "Clark Kent," is knocking on the door of adulthood. Okay, he thinks he is anyway. He's 16, and a junior in high school.
I would love to tell you that kids grow out of their ADHD symptoms to the point that life for them — and you — turns into a cakewalk. I can't. Clark's father has ADHD, and he still struggles. Clark? Well, Clark is a challenge, but a loveable one. Take this January, for instance.
In January, Clark pledged that he was going to set the academic world on fire. Within two weeks, he was failing five classes for multiple missed homeworks in each class. By the end of the grading period, with death sentence restrictions on screens and girlfriend in place to remove distractions and mandatory 9:30 melatonin and 10:30 bedtime to ensure adequate rest (a chronic issue), he had raised three classes to barely-passing. It pains me to type this, but we called ourselves lucky that he only failed two classes. This from the kid who told us over Christmas that he had renewed his dream of applying to Texas A&M and would concentrate on his grades and upcoming SAT to pursue it. This from a kid with a genius IQ.
Meanwhile, Clark had qualified last fall for the Texas Forensic Association state debate tournament in Cross Examination. Clark is obsessed with Cross Ex, or, "CX," and its format plays into his ADHD and Asperger's strengths beautifully. Unfortunately, his partner had a conflict, and in November, Clark knew that he had until the middle of February to find a new partner and qualify anew, because TFA required partners to qualify together. Every week we begged him to work on this issue. Every week he assured us, "No problem," until we finally gave up and quit reminding him. Everything has always been no problem to him despite a mountain of evidence to the contrary, a blessing of his limited time frame ADHD focus that includes a completely forgotten past, inability to see future consequences, perfect imagination of himself succeeding (with little or no effort), and his Clark Kent/Superman confidence as a result.
The last week in January, Clark settled on a partner. "No problem," he assured me. They competed together. They lost.
The next week, they competed again. "No problem." And, believe it or not, they won the tournament outright and he was selected for the prize he most wanted, "Best speaker." But that wasn't enough for them to qualify. They needed more points.
Two weeks left to go. They competed again. "No problem." They lost.
One week left to go. They needed TWO MORE POINTS. Only two. Two points stood between them and state. "No problem."
They scored four. Talent and determination seized the day. They were in.
And yet he had a report card with two F's on it. Dilemna-time for parents. We needed a consequence with immediacy regarding his grades if we were to achieve any motivation for him to change them. State was one week away. Would we let him go? (This was not a UIL activity, so there were no academic eligibility restrictions) We really wanted to, but we needed to find a way to make his academic performance sufficiently important in comparison. It wasn't all right to excel in debate and fail to graduate high school! His father proposed "no zeroes" between qualification date and bus departure time. His stepfather proposed manual labor; that's always Eric's favorite go-to because it helps him get through his own honey-do list 🙂
It was Clark's girlfriend who saved the day. Clark's grades had cost her a lot of time with him, and, in her own quiet way, she was more upset than we were. With a cattle prod firmly planted on his behind, she marched him in with a written proposal for us: no more failing grades this year or he would forfeit his right to participate in debate next year.
Finally, something we could work with. With his signature (in blood), we put him on the bus to the state tournament in Amarillo, a happy, happy boy.
|His girlfriend, "Clark Kent," his debate partner, and two other teammates,
outside Amarillo High School during the 2012 TFA State Debate Tournament.
It would have been awesome if he and his partner crushed the tournament. They didn't. They won 2 rounds and lost 3. They had a good time and great learning experience, though, and he's mature enough to appreciate that. And I am proud to say, four weeks later, his grades are fantastic, all passing, the best they've ever been, even with missing five days in two weeks for the tournament; because of the signed agreement, he went in and met with his teachers (with his girlfriend dogging his heels) before he missed school, so no zeroes. I even heard her quizzing him before school (she rides with us), "Did you take your meds?" and when he said no, she pulled a stash from a baggie in our glove box and handed him one!
I'm speechless. And replaced.
Just to keep us in line, though, he left his dress shoes in the hotel room in Amarillo.
Until next time,
Pamela aka "Clark's Mom"

From our recent trip to Napa Valley, we dined at Chef Michael Chiarello's restaurant, Bottega. My husband and I were served a Parmesan dip at the restaurant that was paired with their freshly baked bread. I'm usually a fan of just olive oil & balsamic vinegar for dipping the bread. However, after one taste of this dip - I was in love! At the restaurant, the parmesan dip was served perfectly in this little 1 ounce white ceramic shot glass with a demitasse spoon. I love demitasse spoons because it's such a delicate and tiny spoon, it just oozes refinement and enjoyment when you use it. We both knew that we could re-create it ourselves.
From tasting the dip, we both tasted parmesan cheese, another salty-ish cheese, garlic, red pepper flakes, olive oil and Italian seasoning. I made it by last week before I found the recipe on Food Network. I had created more of a garlic dip, and not too reminiscent of our Bottega experience. Then finally after perusing Napa Style I found the recipe because they sold it at the stores as well! I highly recommend you try this dip, it's so rich and delicious.
Salsa di Parmigiano
Adapted by Michael Chiarello
1/2 pound Parmigiano Reggiano
1/2 pound Asiago cheese
1 head of garlic, minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons chopped green onion (about 3)
2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1. Remove any rind from the cheeses and chop the cheeses into rough 1-inch chunks.
2. Place the cheese in a food processor with the garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes and pulse until reduced to the size of fine pea gravel.
3. Stir in the green onion, olive oil, and black pepper and pulse again. Cover and let stand at room temperature for at least 4 hours before using.
Review: One of the best dips that we've had and it pairs perfectly with warm rosemary sourdough bread. It's easy to make and we will definitely be always making a bowl of it for our dinner parties!

Lesic Dimitri Palace was presented, for the first time, at the recent seminar on 'The importance of special interests tourism for sustainable development' , organised by the Korcula Tourist Board in November 2007 in Korcula Town.
By meticulously reconstructing the Palace into a high-end apart-hotel, restaurant and spa, Lesic Dimitri Ltd aims to create a new tourist offering in Korcula, which will enrich the island's current provision and, hopefully, help to attract an increased number of affluent visitors.
Lesic Dimitri Palace is situated within the heart of the historic and beautiful medieval town of Korcula, next to the house of Marco Polo. The Palace will comprise six luxurious residences, which range in size from 50 sqm to 162 sqm, a multi-treatment room spa and restaurant.
Reconstruction began in February 2006, and completion is set for spring 2009… read more

I learned about Fe y Justicia from a visit they made to my Alternative Spring Break group at Rice University. My group traveled to the Rio Grande Valley for a week of service providing educational, housing, and social services and support to immigrant communities. After we returned and I began to plan my summer, I wanted to continue the same type of work we did in the Valley. Volunteering at the Worker Center has since then been a perfect opportunity for me to continue learning about issues that affect workers and immigrants while developing skills and gaining experience that I look forward to applying to my future studies and experiences.
I primarily helped during the summer as part of the Workplace Justice Program. Although I am only a sophomore undergraduate, the staff and my fellow volunteers were always keen and happy to help me with my many questions, whether they were about workplace rights or Spanish expressions.
While I enjoyed my time spent in the Center learning about the issues workers face and the resources the center provides to help them, my favorite moments during the summer were those spent in the community, face-to-face with workers, leaders, students, and friends. Hearing others' stories and helping them learn about their own resources and power to advocate for change and achieve their goals have been my motivation throughout the summer. In this way, everyone who comes to the worker center directly advances its mission of providing a safe space for workers and their families to learn about their rights and organize themselves to improve conditions for them on the job.
I think the greatest thing I have learned from my time at Fe y Justicia is the power of values in achieving goals. I have seen both myself and others learn and grow alongside each other this summer in ways I could have never imagined. This growth came from being pushed out of our comfort zones. As a linguistics and cognitive sciences student, I have to say my favorite memory from this summer was helping translate and interpret at Rice University's Urban Immersion program. There was something very special about helping two groups of people communicate who otherwise would not have been able to speak to one another. That experience presented challenges to all involved, myself included. Our own values--honoring each other's voices and the work of the center--drove us to help others and work towards our goal--to communicate with each other. This realization is what keeps me motivated in my advocacy for worker, immigrant, and human rights no matter where I am, but I know that I will always be able to return to my family at Fe y Justicia to help continue the very special work it does in Houston.

Doctors make accommodations for obesity surgeries
When we gain weight, our health risks multiply. The more weight, the more challenging it is to treat and heal.
It is a delicate topic and a real health concern. Doctors are increasingly making innovative accommodations so patients can get the surgery they need, even if their extra weight makes it extra complicated.
Elisha Murphy hears the same message every time she goes to the doctor - you need to lose weight.
"I have dealt with my weight since I was eight years old. I have had a weight problem that long," Murphy said.
At 5'2" tall, weighing 425 pounds, with a BMI of 83, she is morbidly obese.
"I want people to know that I am not a slob. I'm not a pig. That's kind of what I want them to know about me and I don't live like people on reality TV with these people that weigh 1,000 pounds and lay in bed and do nothing but eat," Murphy said.
She is a mother who recently had a cycle that got out of control.
"I was dealing with a lot of heavy bleeding and it was almost everyday. It was unbelievable," she said.
When other treatment options failed, her doctor, Dr. Hubert Fornalik, recommended a minimally-invasive hysterectomy with the da Vinci robot. It comes with less complications than cutting open the abdomen, but can be tricky with large patients.
"We are the referral center for patients from the entire state and we see all the time that patients like Elisha with obesity, they are told they cannot have the surgery because of their size," Fornalik said. "Quite often, those surgeries are indicated and needed, but delayed, or patients have open surgery which actually put them at much higher risk of complications."
Part of the problem with pelvic surgery is the operating room table is put at a 45-degree incline with the patients head down. Bariatric surgery is just the opposite. When the head is down the weight of the abdomen presses on the lungs and can make breathing difficult.
Suggested Links
Fornalik ordered extensions to widen the operating room bed and the foot area and worked closely with the anesthesiologist to make the surgery possible for Murphy. She went home the next day.
"I am so glad I did it," she said. "The best thing about life now is not bleeding everyday. My hope is that there are other people out there that desperately need the help, that feel like, because of their weight, they can't get the help that they need."
Murphy is recovering from her surgery now and is working with bariatric doctors to address her weight issues.

Romance in the Mediterranean: Cruise Ideas for Couples
The ports-of-call in the Mediterranean are perfect for couples looking for a romantic getaway just about any time of year. Whether it's dimly lit restaurants and scenic rides or dramatic coastlines and stunning architecture, the cities dotted along the Mediterranean Sea simmer with world-class romance. Whether you're honeymooning, celebrating an anniversary, or simply just celebrating another day/year/month together, the Mediterranean is filled with romance–without having to perch on the bow of the ship with Leonardo DiCaprio.
Ports in the Mediterranean are known for being a great start/finish to any cruise, so whether you choose a bigger city or small town, now's a great time to consider planning that romantic sojourn. Is there anything better than sipping Pinot Grigio on a cafe terrace that overlooks the azure waters of the Mediterranean? Here are some departure city ideas to get you started.
Chocolate in Barcelona
Barcelona might be known for tapas, art and Gaudi architecture, but it is also one of the best chocolate cities in the world. Barcelona boasts a stellar chocolate museum; you'll not only have the opportunity to see how cacao beans were first introduced to Spain from the New World in the 1400s, but also feast your eyes on an exquisite chocolate model of Barcelona. Fargas, a confection specialist, has been making chocolate since the 1800s. At Xocoa, you can treat yourself to a chocolate beer. Lined with restaurants, bars and shops, Las Ramblas is Barcelona's most famous avenue. A romantic, evening stroll by the "Magic Fountain" is the perfect way to end the day.
Perfume in the French Riviera
The stunning seaside cliffs and turquoise waters of the Cote d'Azure have always been a magnet for couples. The cinematic glamour and Matisse-like colour of the region is breath-taking. Most cruises dock at Nice's Port Nice Quai. Nice is known for its elegant Promenade des Anglais; this seaside promenade is the ideal place to people watch, or sit back and observe the boats bobbing in the Mediterranean, while sipping on a regional wine.
Nice has a long history with perfume. There are fragrance shops all over town. A trip to the Cours Saleya Flower Market will tickle your nose with delightful fragrances and open your eyes to the importance of perfume to the region. Moilnard, one of Nice's premier perfumeries, has been operating since 1849. The store sells fragrances from Grasse, a nearby town that is said to be the birthplace of perfume.
Beaches in Corfu
Just a short boat ride away from Venice and a departure point for wonderful cruises of the Greek Islands and historic ports further east (like Turkey or even Egypt), Corfu is a great little spot to just relax and disconnect. Head for the west side of the island to get the best sand and choose from various spots – Chalikounas Beach is a favorite of friends who frequent the island.
Despite being a remote paradise, you'll find lots of chip shops and other tack souvenir stalls like elsewhere in Europe, so bring some comfy shoes and take advantage of the many fantastic walks. Mount Pantokrator is the highest point on the island and a very achievable point, but there are paths just as nice that don't get you quite so high.
Romance in Rome
Is there any city more romantic than Rome (when you're not stuck in line for the Sistine Chapel)? While Venice might rival the Eternal City for the title of most romantic city, eating, drinking and shopping in Rome is less of a tourist experience than in Venice.
Civitavecchia is the closet cruise port to Rome. After spending a day at the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and Colosseum, cosy up with that special someone over a leisurely meal of artichokes simmered in garlic and mint, carbonara and a nice bottle of Chianti (a previous favorite meal of mine, actually).

Yes, the lake froze early but it is still not safe for travel. People have walked near the edges but the ice is not strong enough, yet. Snow fell on the nice smooth ice and then a slush layer developed. All sort of normal in the freezing of a lake.The lake froze on a calm night so it looked like the skating could be great. But then there was a little snow that fell which insulated the ice. Then, more snow fell, about a foot. This snow added weight to the ice so, as when you load a boat with more stuff, it sank a bit and water seeped up through cracks. This water mixed with the snow at the ice surface and made a slush layer. This layer was a couple of inches thick. Because it had a layer of snow on top of it, the slush didn't freeze and then, when the thaw that began on the 19th, the slush layer has reached the surface in many places.
If you live on the lake or visit on a regular basis, you see these changes. One day, the temperature rose to about 15 degrees and the wind was blowing at around 25 mph and the fluffy snow was blowing across the lake. Sometimes, there is sun, sometimes clouds. Some places freeze earlier than others and the changes are always interesting. At the present time, the lake is unsafe for travel. That will change but there will always be the "normal" places that don't freeze well or at all some years. Until it is well frozen, don't go out and if you do, take some spikes for your hands so that you pull yourself out. Don't be a statistic!

Two days after a failed suicide attempt, Jessica Lynn Lopez pleaded not guilty Thursday afternoon to murdering Brittany Killgore, a Fallbrook woman whose body was found in a rural area east of Temecula earlier this week.
Lopez, 25, did not speak during her short arraignment in a Vista courtroom. Ordered to remain jailed in lieu of $3 million bail, Lopez faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted of first-degree murder.
Official charges filed Thursday accuse Lopez of murdering Killgore, 22, on either Friday or Saturday. Investigators have said Killgore was last seen Friday and was reported missing Saturday.
Lopez was found Tuesday morning in a Ramada Inn hotel room in Point Loma with self-inflicted wounds, said Deputy District Attorney Patrick Espinoza at Lopez's brief arraignment.
"Writings described as a suicide note" were also in the room, Espinoza told Superior Court Judge Sim Von Kalinowski.
A few hours later, Killgore's body was found, Espinoza said.
"Brittany was dead, the victim of homicidal violence," the prosecutor said in court.
About an hour after Lopez's arraignment, Killgore's father, who lives in Pennsylvania, read an emotional statement during a short news conference at the San Diego County Sheriff's Department headquarters in Kearny Mesa.
"Brittany is my daughter," said Darryl Wrest, her father. "I am here to speak for Brittany, as her voice was taken from her. Brittany was a beautiful, kind, caring young woman trying to find her way in this world. Family and friends love and miss Brittany beyond words.
"Brittany was a victim. She did nothing wrong," Wrest said. "There have been stories and comments made from people who do not know my daughter and have their own agendas or opinions. These stories have absolutely no basis in fact. Please leave my daughter in peace; she does not deserve to be a victim of lies and innuendo any more than she deserved to be murdered.
"We are devastated and ask to be left alone to grieve at this time," he said. "Be assured, we will fight for Brittany to ensure justice is served for her."
A second person linked to Killgore, Camp Pendleton-based Marine Staff Sgt. Louis Ray Perez, remained a "person of interest" in the case, San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis said at a news conference Thursday morning that produced no new information about the case.
Dumanis scolded the media for reporting misinformation in the case, but refused to specify what the misinformation was or to comment on it any further.
"We will not try this case in the media," she said. "Answers will come in time."
Authorities have not said how Lopez and Perez were connected to Killgore, who had recently initiated divorce proceedings from her husband, a Marine deployed to Afghanistan.
Lopez and Perez, 45, were roommates in a Fallbrook house about a mile from Killgore's apartment. A neighbor said she had seen Killgore at the Lopez house in the past.
Perez pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges of possessing a stolen military assault rifle.
Deputy District Attorney Patrick Espinoza labeled Perez as "a person of interest" in a murder investigation but did not say how Perez might be connected to the slaying. He remained jailed Thursday in lieu of $500,000 bail.
Perez was the last person seen with Killgore before she went missing Friday night, police said. Her cellphone was found Saturday in the Gaslamp Quarter in downtown San Diego.
Killgore's mother called police after a stranger called her from Killgore's cellphone, according to her maternal grandmother, Cheryl Coble of Farmington, Mo. A homeless man had found Killgore's cellphone and was trying to sell it to the stranger, she said.
According to court records, Killgore filed for a divorce last week.
Coble said she had shipped her belongings home and was three days away from getting on a plane to stay with her parents in Pennsylvania. She said authorities went to Killgore's apartment and found her carry-on bag and laptop case, which Killgore had planned to take onto the plane.
According to Coble, Killgore was supposed to go out with Perez and another woman on a dinner cruise Friday, but her family was not sure whether they ever made it. The other woman backed out at the last minute.
Killgore's estranged husband, Cory Killgore, is a motor transport operator for the Marines, according to his Facebook page. He is said to be headed back to the United States from Helmand province in Afghanistan.
Authorities said he was not considered a suspect in the case.

- IMO-4200 in combination with ofatumumab, an anti-CD20 antibody, resulted in:
- improved antitumor activity
- increased survival compared to treatment with either agent alone
- enhancement of complement-dependent cytotoxicity, a mechanism by which ofatumumab exerts its antitumor effect
- IMO-4200 in combination with rituximab, an anti-CD20 antibody, and fludarabine or IMO-4200 in combination with rituximab and bendamustine resulted in:
- improved antitumor activity
- increased survival
- enhanced clearance of circulating tumor cells
- greater antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity, a mechanism by which rituximab exerts its effect
Idera Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: IDRA) today announced that it presented new data showing that IMO-4200, a dual agonist of Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7 and TLR8, in combination with approved cancer treatments increased antitumor activity in preclinical models of lymphoma. The presentation by Idera scientists, entitled "IMO-4200, a novel TLR7 and TLR8 dual agonist, enhances antitumor effect of ofatumumab, rituximab and cytotoxics in preclinical models of hematological malignancies", abstract number 3724, was made at the 53 rd annual meeting of the American Society for Hematology being held in San Diego, California December 11-13, 2011. "The data presented show that IMO-4200 provides a novel scientific rationale for the targeted immunotherapy of hematological malignancies," said Nicola La Monica, Ph.D., VP of Biology of Idera Pharmaceuticals. "IMO-4200 has shown to potentiate the anti-cancer activity of a broad range of approved agents, including rituximab, bortezomib and ofatumumab, in preclinical models of lymphoma." In the data presented today, IMO-4200 was evaluated in preclinical cell-based assays and in combination with approved cancer therapy agents in mouse models of lymphoma.

A Preference Change?
I've never had an aversion to revolvers. I do not believe that, for practical applications, man stopper cartridges exist. I do believe that for self-defense application, a good-quality semiauto reigns supreme. I do believe that John Moses Browning's magnum opus has not been surpassed.
I used to own a 586 that was manufactured when S&W had gone though its junk stage. That was the worst handgun I've ever owned. It had to go back to the factory at least twice due to malfunctions causing it to fail to fire. I gave it away. I thought that I was finished with revolvers for self-defense. But something happened. I don't know what it was.
A subtle change descended upon me. I bought an alloy 4" GP-100 for use as a back country trout fishing weapon. There are huge bear in the Eastern Sierra. I figured that since its intended purpose is a work gun, I wouldn't shed tears were it to show working gun wear.
For some undefined reason, I've begun reaching for it more & more often. I bought a pair of Hogue capped tulipwood grips sans checkering. Now I'm trying to figure out how I can make it my primary self-defense gun; however, I seriously doubt that it could supplant my .40 S&W Sig P-229. But it might.
I still believe that there are many self-defense cartridges that are superior to the .357 Mag. I doubt if a gun that's more reliable than my P-229 exists. But for an undefined reason, I am really taking a shine to my GP-100. I think that Ruger's simplicity of design (modular system) has a lot to do with why I like that gun. That and it balances perfectly. But then again, I've always thought that 4" .357 Mag Revolvers balance better than other barrel lengths.
Were Ruger to manufacture a .41 Rem Mag on a GP-100 frame or were Ruger to manufacture a standard (I do not like Ruger's Super Redhawk guns.) Redhawk in .41 Rem Mag, I'd own two Rugers.

I don't think there is any question of a 357 magnums capability as a man stopper or self defense cartridge.

Hopefully this will never happen, but if I were ever limited to one handgun, it would be a .357 revolver. It's not my favorite (the 1911 occupies that position), but, imo, it is the most versatile of all handguns.
I would not in any way feel disadvantaged carrying a good revolver for a self defense gun. Although my usual carry gun is an automatic, sometimes I reach for my Smith Model 19 just for the pleasure of carrying it.

I will agree that the .357 Mag is extremely versatile.

Were I to carry my GP-100 for bipedal vermin, I'd load it with 158 grain LSWC .38 Special +P (FBI load).
The .357 Mag has a disorienting muzzle blast. I'd hate to shoot one in a confined space such as a bedroom. It also has blinding muzzle flash, not a good thing were a bad guy shooting at me. Finally, excessive recoil of the .357 Mag causes it to become difficult to retain sight picture; again, not good were a bad guy to be shooting at me.
The reality is there ain't a whole lot of difference in terms of bipedal defense between the FBI .38 Special load & .357 Mag load.
I do like the .357 Mag. It is extremely versatile. Loaded with 180 grain Partitions at 1100-1200 FPS, 6 of 'em would entice a marauding black bear to reconsider its dining options. When I fish with my kids in the Eastern Sierra where black bears are more numerous than liberals in San Francisco, I have parental responsibility to protect them, and I will protect them.

IMO the adrenaline will overcome any muzzle blast or recoil concerns you have. Night vision aside. If you are in a confined room I don't expect they will be well aimed shots, you likely won't even have the gun eye level. There are numerous loads you can test or research to find one with reduced muzzle blast. A lot has to do w the length of barrel. If you are comfortable with it, use it. I don't see any advantage a 41mag would provide. If recoil and muzzle blast really concerns you, use 38sp plus p for in home defense and 357 for anything else

I was packing a Walther PPS in 9mm. I picked up a 4" barrel Chiappa White Rhino and found my pistol. It shoots .38s or .357 magnums pretty much the same. No excessive recoil issues. I just sent it out to get the trigger lightened and I think I might not need another pistol after this one.

i dont feel comfortble using 5-6 rounds to protect my home, my brother got robbed by two armed people in the late morning and i always worry if i could take down 2 people with 5 shots in a stressful situation. that being said, for the range i prefer a revolver, they are accurate, fun, extremely versatile and i dont have to chase brass. i love being able to shoot any bullet shape that the mold companies can come up with and being able to make the lightest plinking loads with having to worry about cycling the action(wax bullets!!!).i just think they are more fun to shoot, but i feel safer with a hi-cap semi-auto.
My head is bloody, but unbowed

well the op is easily answered.
you had a revovler that you did not like and never would be happy with. you got rid of it. and eventually got a new revolver from a different company that makes you happy.
Thats how it goes. as far as round count needed to defend yourself, well Mr jordan would simply say, use good ammo and hit the target.

I have never felt under-ammo'd carrying a revolver or a 1911 with seven rounds. If I can drop something or someone with that, I have no business shooting at it.

Not just you!
Thank God! I have a plethora of semi autos I've shot quite extensively. They all have great high capacity mags with nights sights and rails. I also have a loaner Ruger New Vaquero that my buddy lent me to try. Something about the cool factor and the way it points. The last week I've carried and shot the Ruger exclusively.
I realize the hypocrisy in carrying a pistol to be prepared so why carry one that limits the number of situations I'm prepared for, but lately I haven't wanted to carry anything else. I will purchase one soon and the idea of carrying it primarily has been rolled around often. I still never feel "undergunned." I'm sure some will think I'm living in fantasy land but it is something I often think about for now.

I'm reasonably accurate at 7 yards with the PPS. The range wants 2-3 seconds between shots. I have to set up 6 targets on the paper to slow myself down (change target with every shot) and even then I still fire too fast.
That being said, I just feel a lot more confident with my .357 magnum revolver. As long as I don't screw up and miss, I figure every shot is one messed up individual. I'd always figured I'd have to plow 2-3 rounds into someone with the 9mm, just to be sure.
My Rhino just got to the Chiappa place in Ohio today. They're supposed to drop the trigger pull from 12 pounds to 7 pounds for me. That thing is going to be a dream to shoot when it comes back.

In my experience, a .357 Magnum's blast isn't really all that different from a .40 S&W's if comparable loadings are used. This is because the external ballistics of the two cartridges are actually quite similar.
For example, a Remington 158gr .357 Magnum is advertised at 1235fps and 535fpe from a 4" barrel while a Remington 155gr .40 S&W is advertised at 1205fps and 499fpe from a 4" barrel. Likewise, a Remington 180gr .357 Magnum is advertised at 1145fps from an 8 3/8" barrel while a Remington 180gr .40 S&W is advertised at 1015fps from a 4" barrel. Given the longer test barrel of the 180gr .357, I'd expect the velocities to be roughly the same from a 4" revolver and service-size .40 like a Glock 22, Beretta 96, or S&W 4006.
The .357 Magnum's reputation for vicious blast likely comes primarily from the high-velocity 110gr and 125gr loadings which, from 4" barrels, will usually run 1400-1500fps. However, I would expect the higher velocity 135gr .40 S&W loadings to also have rather vicious blast.
What you do get from the .357 Magnum is, due to it being primarily a revolver round, the ability to use bullets not typically available in a semi-automatic. For hunting or wilderness defense, the .357 can use bullets with wide, flat noses that could cause feeding issues in a semi-automatic. Likewise, even with JHP ammunition, the Magnum can use semi-jacketed bullets with dead-soft lead noses that behave quite differently than most fully-jacketed semi-auto bullets.
As to your desire for a .41 Magnum, Ruger did in fact make the Redhawk in .41 Magnum in both 5 1/2 and 7 1/2" barrel lengths. While no longer made in that caliber, you can find one on the used market if you're willing to look long and hard enough (a local shop has had three in the last six months). Also, don't let one bad experience with S&W taint your opinion of the entire brand. The vast majority of S&W revolvers are excellent and fully the equal of Ruger in quality. S&W has offered several models of .41 Magnum over the years in a variety of barrel lengths, finishes, frame materials, and sight configurations. My recently-acquired Model 57 is as fine a revolver as I could ask for.
Another avenue would be to consider a revolver in .44 Magnum. For just about every revolver made in .41 Magnum, there is a comparable .44 Magnum that is nearly identical save for the caliber. Both cartridge generally require a large-frame revolver so size and weight will be roughly the same. The .44 Magnum, however, offers you a wider variety of guns and ammunition to choose from. Also, there are several lighter .44 Magnum loadings that are approximately the same power as a standard .41 Magnum and they're usually easier to find and cheaper (having recently acquired a .41 myself, I'm becoming well acquainted with the price and scarcity of ammo).
Finally, some of the top-end loadings in .357 Magnum approach or equal run-of-the-mill .41 Magnum ammunition. Boutique ammo houses including Buffalo Bore, Grizzly, Double Tap, and Underwood offer 180-200gr hardcast .357 Magnum loadings that compare favorably with mainstream .41 Magnum loads of comparable weight. While I wouldn't shoot these loadings in just any revolver, your GP100 is more than strong enough to digest as much of this ammo as your wrists and wallet can withstand.

Personally I go along with the 'Jello shooters' conclusion that the service calibers are all pretty equal when used with the right ammunition. That leaves the .357 (not a service caliber) at a different level. People that are fearful of the light and noise of the discharge never point out that it has the same effect on the bad guy as it may have on the good guy, only the good guy knows when it is coming. For me 8 shots (S&W 627), or 11 shots (DE XIX) of .357 magnum trump any other option I have here in California for a self defense handgun.

So, Halloween was this past week. It was fairly standard. Whiny scouted neighborhoods for maximum candy retrieval. Punch received text alerts as to which houses were giving out the best candy—better still, where people simply left the bowl out on the front stoop. I'm not proud. The only change this year was a small thing, a gentle shift in the tectonic plates of the Baldwin family. When I asked Cranky where she was going to trick or treat she replied, Mom, I Murtaugh-ed trick-or-treating last year.
While I admit, I am not fluent-speaking teenager, I am completely conversational in '80s movie references. As you may recall Sergeant Murtaugh is Danny Glover's cantankerous character in the Lethal Weapon franchise. Whenever Mel Gibson's psycho Riggs would drag Murtaugh into some life threatening situation, Murtaugh would reluctantly shake his head and say, I'm getting too old for this *#@*.
That's fine. I'm fine. I mean, really, I'm fine with it. The last thing you want is a group of teenage girls going door to door in strange neighborhoods unsupervised. So, if you look at it like that, being too old to trick-or-treat is a good thing. I'm fine. Did I mention I'm fine?
Her first Halloween, Cranky was a daisy. She had a little rosebud mouth stained red from a lollipop and big cloth petals all around her face. She took off her diaper in a neighbor's yard and cried when a kid dressed like a ghoul came to the door. Good times. But now she's 14. She's clearly too old to trick-or-treat. Sadly, she is not too old to put on a costume. But now she wants to be a Baywatch lifeguard or a genie. Halloween has suddenly become a hall pass to look like a hussy.
Time marches on. Instead of trick-or-treating this year, Cranky hung out at a friend's house with a group of kids and watched scary movies. There may have been a prank or two involved. I know there were boys. You know, a couple of weeks ago, I found that daisy costume in a box in the garage. I know I should donate it to the Goodwill, but somehow I just can't bring myself to part with it.

Ha, dicks. Well I lost the .TSI.
The basic premise though is that the encoder controls two modifiers along with the loop size.
If I recall correctly, there are 12 loop size states. Assuming you set the loop with size of 8, this will also set modifier 2 to a value of 5 (m1 will also be zero until later). Turning the encoder right will increase loop size as well as the state of modifier 2. Once loop size 32 is reached modifier 2 state will be 7, at this point the encoder has no effect when turned to the right. Turning it to the left will decrease loop size along with modifier two's state. Once loop size 2 has been reached (m2=3), modifer 2 needs to go a zero state, while modifier 1 goes from it's zero state to 1. Continuing to turn left will decreasing loop size while increasing modifier 1. Its all very complicated but it ensures the modifiers stay synced to the loop size. To get the loop size displayed you simply make an output maping for each modifier state.
Ill try to whip up a TSI for you soon, I still dont fully understand how I got it to work so it may take a bit. Im sure Stewe could do it in his sleep though...

[MoFA] Apprentice Program; Plans
Hello there, eUK
After yesterday's election, one CP term goes and another comes in... except with the same CP.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is recruiting people to become involved within the Ministry, with Kravenn heading up the functions of the ministry and with me handling the media side and opening dialogue with our enemies. Our Deputy MoFA this month is Lord Lewis Cromwell.
Kravenn has been MoFA since August and continues to do his job into this term. Personally, I think he has some fuel in him which allows him to keep going that long. In any case, he's here to continue doing his job this month. He doesn't get on too well with our neighbours, France so I'll be handling that this month. He'll mainly be working with allied countries directly and organising the ministry from within.
I have been MoFA three times, the last time being in July. It's a job I enjoy doing but I like to give others a chance at doing it. I'll be handling the media side of the MoFA and doing dialogue with countries that I have contacts in and nations that I believe we can open a friendlier dialogue with.
Lord Lewis Cromwell is relatively new on the block, although I do remember him asking for a MoFA job back in July. He'll be shadowing me and Kravenn, whilst helping out with the running of the ministry. He has a mix of jobs and responsibilities this month, including speaking to foreigners, organising meetings and helping me out with the media where needed.
The MoFA for November 2012
Ministers of Foreign Affairs: Kravenn and Thomas765
Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs: Lord Lewis Cromwell
What does working for the MoFA involve?
A lot of involvement now comes with being a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs this month. We want to give out an impression. Let people get to know the UK a bit more. Last month the apprentice program mainly focused on interviewing foreign leaders and cabinet members. I'd like to see a more involved approach, locally and internationally. The interviewing will still exist but I do want apprentices to gather information on the country or countries they're assigned to.
We want to give new citizens a chance to get involved in the ministry.
It's media based, research based and you have the chance to talk to people while making friends with other apprentices and foreign dignitaries. If you don't feel like talking to others and instead want to work behind the scenes then don't worry, we will cater for all this wish to do stuff this month.
The only requirement that I'd say would be regular use of the UK forums. That's where reports are handed in and where Kravenn and I can check interviews that you've done. It's not compulsory, however, it is recommended. Reports and interviews can be sent to us by PM and we can check them there.
Getting involved
To become an apprentice, send Kravenn and myself over a PM either on the official UK forums or on eRepublik.
Plans for this month
As we are the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it's our job to make sure that countries are well informed of the decisions we make on the international scene and to make sure that the citizens of the UK know the history surrounding our current foreign policy. Over the course of this month, we intend to release articles detailing friendships, in particular close friendships and explaining what has happened in the last couple of years to make us allies with them.
As I stated above, Kravenn will be doing the more behind-the-scenes stuff, including but not limited to the running of the Ministry. I will be heading the media and I'll be using my newspaper to bring information out to the UK every couple of days. I will also be running diplomacy with a number of enemy nations.
My personal intention for this month will be improving relations with a number of nations, which could help secure our borders more.
Interesting reads internationally:
Canada - Don't Relax on this CoT by Shoi12
Poland - [CP][PL]Outro by Pierre Dzoncy (article is in Polish)
USA - [PotUS] Final thanks and cleaning out the desks by Henry Pfeiffer Arundel
Let's get this party started!
Thank you for reading,
Thomas765 and Kravenn
Voted 🙂
Anyway, you already know you can put me to work so...I expect a call 🙂
Do not improve our relations with all our bordering nations. We like to fight too. 😉
Nice article, voted and good luck!
I mainly meant opening up dialogue a bit more between us and neighbouring nations mainly : )
Good effort, some of the opposition in the elections were very keen to get involved in MOFA so hopefully they'll be big enough to contact you and get involved.

What do Board members do?
The ORCID Board is responsible for ensuring the organization is acting in the best interests of ORCID stakeholders. To this end, the Board provides strategic guidance for the successful achievement of ORCID's mission. The Board oversees the management of ORCID and its organizational performance, reviews high-level organizational goals and policies, makes high-level decisions, reviews Executive Director performance, and serves as a community advocate for ORCID. The Board is supported by the Executive Director and a full-time professional staff, who are responsible for day-to-day operations and recommending goals and policies. Board members must commit to attending in-person meetings 3 times per annum.
Who may serve?
Any employee, officer, or director of an ORCID Member is eligible to be nominated for election to the ORCID Board of Directors. The term of service is 3 years. Note that at any one time, there may be only one Board Director representing any one ORCID Member or Member Consortium.
ORCID also elects up to two researchers to the Board; this person's organization need not be an ORCID member.
Is there an attempt to balance non-profit and corporate membership?
As stated in our Bylaws, the Board is comprised of a majority of individuals representing Members that are non-profit institutions. Every attempt is made to balance the Board by skills (technical, financial, management) and sector (academia, funding, government, publishing, etc.).
Are Board members compensated?
Board members are not compensated and are expected to pay their way to Board meetings. ORCID will pay for the unaffiliated researcher member to participate in Board meetings. Note that Board meetings usually alternate between North America and Europe, with occasional locations in Asia and Latin America. Meetings typically last 1.5 days and may be scheduled back-to-back with ORCID-supporting engagements such as a workshop or outreach meeting, which would necessitate an additional one day commitment to ORCID.
What is the nominations process?
We are accepting recommendations for the 2018 Board Slate. All ORCID Members are eligible to have representatives serve as ORCID Directors. Please use this form to submit a candidate, before 1 August. For more information on the nominations process, see the Nominating Committee Charter for more information and Committee membership.
When are elections?
Elections are by majority vote of the Board at the Annual Meeting, generally held each January. Starting in 2017, elections will be by majority vote by the ORCID Members on a slate presented by the Nominating Committee. In addition, write-in candidates may be nominated by any group of twenty (20) or more Members (including no more than one member of a specific Consortium) no more than 30 days after the slate is announced. The Main Contact listed on the Member or Consortium Member agreement will be eligible to vote.
What is the term of service and how is succession handled?
Directors are elected for staggered three-year terms. This means we hold elections every year.

We'll spin a vintage 1984 live set from Yes tonight on the WBLM Mini-Concert. Here's one of the most awkward music videos I've ever seen; Yes lip-syncing "Owner" on the German TV show "Bananas"… enjoy?

who in turn got the idea from
I made my box out of 5mm multiplex. The unfolded length is 840mm and depth is 160mm.
The inside planes are very easy to customize. They are just of the right size that they put some small tension on the corners, so that even without glue everything stay together.
I made my box on my CNC machine with a 2mm cutter. The lines to make the corners cut are done without tool path correction. Everything else is set with normal tool path correction.

Ocean and Offshore Race Gear Guide
Category Description
Selecting the Correct Gear For an Offshore or Ocean Sailing Race
In the course of a long ocean race you will likely encounter a variety of weather conditions. With the correct ocean sailing gear you will be well equipped to not only handle cold, wet weather but also the warm, clear days with a high UV index and warm, wet days where you need to stay dry but don't want to overheat. The key to staying comfortable in all conditions during an ocean sailing race is layering properly.
The first piece of gear that most people think of when thinking of clothing for ocean sailing is the offshore jacket. A good ocean racing jacket is not only completely waterproof but is also breathable, lightweight and designed in a comfortable ergonomic way to allow racing sailors the maximum range of motion. The above ocean racing jackets by Henri Lloyd, Gill and Zhik are designed with these criteria in mind. Each of these Ocean racing jackets also have High visibility hoods to allow the sailor to see in heavy rain and spray conditions and reflective patches, an essential safety item in the case of a man overboard.
It is a common misconception that a big offshore sailing jacket is designed to keep you warm. The outer shell jacket is designed to keep you dry, which is why it is important to wear a good fleece midlayer when sailing offshore in colder tempertures. Fleece midlayers provide excellent warmth without adding too much bulk, which makes them an essential piece of your offshore sailing gear.
There are many important factors to consider when selecting a base layer to wear under your offshore sailing gear. A lot of racing sailors still wear their favorite cotton regatta t-shirt under their foul weather gear. Cotton is the worst material to wear as a base layer when sailing especially during a long ocean race because it absorbs moisture which adds weight and makes the sailor cold in cold weather and warm and muggy in hot weather. The best base layers to wear when sailing are moisture wicking and fast drying. We have a two rows of base layers in our selection guide above to provide base layers for sailing offshore in hot weather and base layers for sailing offshore in cold weather. Base layers provide UV protection for offshore sailors, all of the above Gill and Zhik base layers provide UV 50+ sun protection.
Safety is an important consideration when ocean racing. A good offshore life PFD and Harness are important safety features and are necessary when racing offshore. The Spinlock Deckvest Lifejacket Harnesses combine these two pieces of equipment into one piece of offshore gear. Both versions are self inflating with the pro-hammer using a pin to burst a CO2 canister and the Pro-Sensor using a chemical reaction to inflate.
It's important when racing in the ocean to have a good pair of offshore sailing boots. Features to look for in offshore sailing boots are waterproofing and good grip.The Gill tall yachting boot is a popular sailing boot that offers a great value. The new ZK Seaboot from Zhik features dual layers of waterproofing and the same legendary grip as their ZK shoes.

CBS News Monthly Poll, July 2003 (ICPSR 3916)
Principal Investigator(s): CBS News
This poll is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. Respondents were asked to give their opinions of President George W. Bush and his handling of the presidency, foreign policy, the economy, and the situation with Iraq. Their views were sought on the state of the economy and how it compared to the state of the economy two years ago. A series of questions addressed pre-emptive military strikes and interference in foreign governments, whether the costs of the Iraq War or the removal of Saddam Hussein was worth the loss of American lives, and whether, in retrospect, Iraq and Saddam Hussein had posed real threats to the United States. Respondents were asked what they felt Iraqi sentiment was toward the United States and if they thought the United States was really in control of events in Iraq. Respondents were asked to give an estimate on how long American troops would be in Iraq, and whether that was too long, about right, or not long enough. Those polled were asked if they thought the war will have been "worth it," if they would consider it to be "worth it" if no weapons were ever found, whether the Bush Administration's estimates on the number of weapons Iraq had were accurate, and whether those in the administration were telling the truth about what they knew. Respondents were also asked if they were confident that the United States would find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and whether or not it mattered. Questions concerning the upcoming presidential election asked those polled how much attention they paid to the 2004 campaign, and if the respondent could name any of the Democratic candidates for president. Background information on respondents includes voter registration status, party identification, voting record in the 2000 election, marital status, religious preference, education record, age, Hispanic nationality, racial background, total family income in the year 2002, and reachable call-back phone numbers.

Helmets and cleats, meet ponchos and umbrellas.
As No. 10 Boise State was gearing up for the kickoff off against No. 20 Utah on Wednesday in the MAACO Bowl Las Vegas, fans got a taste of Las Vegas winter.
"We were totally hoping for better weather all week, but at least it's better than all the snow back home where we're from," said Debra Bosch, who braved the rain to tailgate outside the stadium.
"We will support Boise State everywhere — rain or shine," she said.
Bosch and her family members arrived at the stadium around noon despite having to fight through some heavy rains.
"It was coming down pretty hard for awhile," she said. "We had to hit the tent with a shovel to keep it from coming down."
Vendors inside Sam Boyd Stadium were selling umbrellas and rain-resistant ponchos for $5. Gloves were available for $10.
The stadium's field turf, which rarely is played on during wet conditions, clearly was damp. Puddles were visible in the north end zone as well as elsewhere on the field.
Kickers from both Boise State and Utah were warming up more than 90 minute before kickoff, making the necessary adjustments for kicking in the rain. A handful of skilled-position players were also on the field, with a majority in game pants, form-fitting practice shirts and gloves. It was only lightly drizzling.
Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said the weather wouldn't be detrimental to how the game was played.
"It will have a little effect, but it's the same for both teams. I don't think it's an advantage for one team or the other, but it's going to affect the play-calling on offense," he said.
Determined fans – most seeming to be cheering for Boise State – donned rain apparel in the school's orange and blue colors while they grilled hot dogs and drinking beer as they gathered under pop-up tents for cover.
"We look crazy, don't we?" Boise State fan Winston Johnson said.
The gates at Sam Boyd Stadium opened shortly after 3:30 p.m. with a long group of fans lined up to enter. The game is sold out for a sixth straight year; it was unclear a couple of hours before its start whether the rain would deter fans.
Traffic leading into the stadium on Russell Road and Tropicana Avenue was light, but the right-hand eastbound lane on Tropicana was flooded, causing drivers to proceed slower or head into the left lane.
Throughout the Las Vegas Valley on Wednesday, heavy rains prompted road closures but by late afternoon, most streets had reopened.
Kick off is at 5 p.m.

Fabric Scoop Pro SaddleFabric is the hot new saddle brand on the market, thanks to their amazing mix of comfort, performance, and unique construction. The Scoop Pro is designed as a multi-discipline saddle that's as at home on the roads as it is on gravel or out on the trail. No matter where you want to take your bike, the Scoop can comfortably get you there. That's because the Scoop is all about versatility. Not only is it built incredibly strong, with Fabric's three-part saddle building process, but it also comes in three different shapes to fit every body type and style of riding imaginable.
The Scoop is tuned for flexibility, thanks to its ultra lightweight and durable nylon/carbon fiber base. The lightweight carbon fiber rails dramatically decrease the gram count and resist corrosion, and help dampen vibration coming up the seatpost. The waterproof microfiber cover stands up to years of hard use. The biggest story with the Scoop Pro though is the different saddle shapes. For more flexible riders who like to shift around on the saddle, the flat option is probably the way to go. For Less flexible, more powerful riders, the radius may provide more support, while the shallow shape provides a nice in between option. Of course, it will all depend on your personal preferences, and how you like your saddle to feel. But isn't it always nice to have options?
- Choose flat, shallow, or radius shapes
- Flexible nylon/carbon fiber matrix shell for lightweight and comfort
- Carbon fiber rails are extremely lightweight
- Weather-proof microcover cover stands up to years of hard use
- 142mm x 282

TextBox.SaveViewState Method ()
Saves the changes to the text box view state since the time the page was posted back to the server.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
This method is used primarily by control developers.
View state is the accumulation of the values of a server control's properties. These values are automatically placed in the server control's ViewState property, which is an instance of the StateBag class. This property's value is then persisted to a string object after the save state stage of the server control's life cycle. For more information, see ASP.NET Application Life Cycle Overview for IIS 5.0 and 6.0.
When view state is saved, this string object is returned to the client as a variable that is stored in a hidden HTML input element. When you author custom server controls, you can improve efficiency by overriding this method and modifying your server control's ViewState property. For more information, see ASP.NET State Management Overview.
Available since 2.0

The State Column [1]
February 20, 2012
Republican presidential candidates Ron Paul, Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney defeated President Barack Obama in a Des Moines Register poll [2] of Iowa general election voters Sunday. Mr. Paul bested Mr. Obama by 7 percentage points (49 to 42) and Mr. Santorum bettered the president by 4 percentage points (48 to 44). Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney exceeded Mr. Obama by 2 percentage points (46 to 44).
Mr. Paul triumphed over Mr. Obama by a wider margin than Mr. Santorum, despite the fact that the Pennsylvania Republican won the Iowa Republican caucuses on January 3rd with 24.6 percent of the votes.
Mr. Paul and Mr. Santorum worked extremely hard in the Hawkeye State to gain supporters. The Pennsylvania Republican drove around Iowa [3] in a pickup truck shaking hands and the Texas congressman utilized his popularity among younger voters to implement a "Christmas Vacation with Ron Paul" program that deployed nearly 500 youth to knock on doors and make phone calls for the Republican candidate.
Mr. Obama fared much better against former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. The president defeated Mr. Gingrich by 14 percentage points (51 to 37). Although the Georgia Republican was a popular candidate among Iowa voters towards the end of 2011, Mr. Romney's relentless attack ads [4] stripped Mr. Gingrich of his front-runner status in the Iowa Republican caucuses. Mr. Gingrich finished in fourth place with 13.3 percent of the votes.
The Des Moines Register poll of 800 adults and 611 likely voters in the general election was conducted from February 12th through February 15th. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points among likely voters.

You can configure the following settings:
Client IP addresses that the Gateway Enforcer appliance authenticate
See Adding client IP address ranges to the list of addresses that require authentication.
External IP addresses that the Gateway Enforcer appliance does not authenticate
Internal IP address to which the Gateway Enforcer allows access
See Adding a trusted internal IP address for clients on a management server.
After you apply the settings, the changes are sent to the selected Gateway Enforcer appliance during the next heartbeat. Keep in mind the following information:
The option to Only authenticate clients with these IP addresses is not selected by default. If you leave this option selected and do not specify any IP addresses to authenticate, the Gateway Enforcer appliance acts as a network bridge and allows all clients access.
For Trusted External IP address range addresses, you should add the IP address of the corporate VPN server, as well as any other IP addresses that are allowed to have access to the corporate network without running a client. You may also want to include the devices that normally have access to the network and are running an operating system other than Windows.
For Trusted Internal IP address range addresses, you may need to specify addresses, such as an update server, a file server containing antivirus signature files, a server that is used for remediation, or a DNS or WINS server that is required to resolve domain or host names.
If you specify that the Gateway Enforcer appliance verifies that the client profile is up-to-date, clients may need to connect to the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager to download the latest security policies. If you use this option when you refer to the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager by DNS or host name, you must add the DNS or WINS server's IP address to the trusted internal IP list.
