Revolver or Semi-Auto
I'm sure this question has been asked, but beinng fairly new to this forum I thought I would throw it out for opinions then decide for myself.
I live in a safe neighborhood, work in a fairly safe city and periodically hike and camp with my kids and wife. Last year I invested in a 9mm semi-auto and got my carry permit. Since that time I have shot often and carried the weapon little. Despite it being a "sub-compact" 9mm its still fairly bulky and not easily concealed for the clothes I wear.
Also, its always loaded, but not cocked as it does not have a saftey and I don't want to inadvertantly grab it and have it go off. Yes....I do practice unholstering the gun, but its just a preference not to have it cocked in holster since the trigger is lighter.
So here is my dilema......
I'm considering a snub nose revolver (.38 special?) because it fits nicley in my pocket (so I will carry it more) and is ready to fire when I pull it out. It only holds 6 rounds, but I'm not planninng on being in a full scale gun battle either. I also like the .38 because its got a bit more juice then the 9mm in the event we run into a animal hiking. I know a .357 or a 44magnum would be better for larger animals, but again I live in a state with small black bears and maybe a cougar or two....no Grizzlys. :)
Like to hear your suggestions...
The bottom line is, carry what you are most comfortable with.
Nothing wrong with a 38 for self defense but I personally wouldn't want it for a woods gun. If it were me, I would buy a 357. You can use the 38s for practice and 357s for carry in social areas or in the woods. The 357 will do everything a 38 will do and much, much more. I agree with Mark, shoot what you are comfortable with, that is the most important thing.
Also, I'm not sure where you got the idea that a 38 is hotter then a 9mm. In the standard loads for both the 9mm carries about 100# more energy then the 38. Not trying to highjack your thread or start a pissing contest, I'm just sayin....
A 38 special is more than adequate as a carry gun. I have carried a 380 auto for 50 years. I know that the current thinking is that you need a hand cannon with large clips but realistically even a 22 or 32 revolver and even a 25 auto will get the job done. As I have said before it is not the caliber of weapon but the skill of the user that makes the difference. A 22 will kill a person just as dead as a shotgun with buckshot.
For a woods gun I feel that anything that is easily concealed is inadequate for woods protection because of their short barrels. I usually carry an S&W Military & police 38 special with a six-inch barrel. Believe it or not I sometimes carry a 44 cal cap and ball revolver with a seven and half inch barrel. I am comfortable with either one.
I had read on another forum about the .38 having more energy then a .38. A .38 is a short .357 as I understand it. Regardless......my question is really about revolver vs. semi-auto. I'm not a "bigger is better" guy. I believe in a weapon that can get the job done, but what I am coming to realize (via the comments) is that I may need two guns.....one for the woods in the event I run into an animal (which requires more fire power) and one for carry. I was trying to find one that could do both.
I am trying to think of a high capacity 9mm that can be loaded but uncocked and has no external safety and a light trigger. What to you currently have?
IMHO a 4" .357 Mag revolver should be the first handgun in any colection. Versitile, powerful, accurate, reasonably sized.
Firepower? You are one of the first people I have seen acknowlege POWER as an integral part of firepower.
If you can, purchase a .357 magnum 4 inch revolver (Smith and Wesson, Ruger, and Taurus being some good choices). You can't go wrong with having a solid firearm that can operate with two different calibers (.357 for protection, and .38 special for range practice).
Two for the price of one.
I totally agree!!
My very first firearm (over 22 yrs. ago) was a S&W .357Mag, 4" barrel, revolver. I still own & use it.
I wouldn't recommend the small calibers, due to the fact of an animal in the woods may take you by surprise and with adrenalin rushes a well placed shot is highly unlikely. When I'm in the deep woods huntin' I have my S&W .357Mag (mentioned above) with me strapped on my side. A revolver is more reliable in the woods than a pistol due to the fact of dirt & grime. I would have to go with the other suggestions on getting a .357 Magnum revolver for the woods and like said you could always run .38 loads through it when necessary. If I was in the woods where big game hangout, such as moose & grizzly, I would recommend a .460 revolver.
Can't go wrong with a S&W or Ruger revolvers.
4" Ruger GP100. It's a tank. It's not the best CC handgun, but is an excellent woods gun.

Three debate issues for Democratic ballot spot
For the first time in nearly three decades, there won't be an incumbent in the race for the 25th District of the state senate.
Sen. Bob Jauch, D-Poplar, announced he will not seek re-election.
And voters will have to decide Aug. 12 which of three Democratic candidates will head to the November ballot to face a challenge by Republican candidate Dane Deutsch.
Candidates running on the Democratic ticket include Park Falls Mayor Tom Ratzlaff, Poplar businessman Gary Kauther and state Rep. Janet Bewley of Ashland.
"As the current representative in the 74th District, I'm very excited about the opportunity to serve the northern part of the state," Bewley said during her opening statement during a debate on Wisconsin Public Radio. "The 74th District is the largest Assembly district. The 25th is the largest Senate district, and I so look forward to learn more about this district and to continue to represent the entire region."
Bewley has served in the Assembly since first elected in 2010.
"We have a lot at stake," Bewley said. "Our schools, our roads, our infrastructure, the integrity of our local units of government, and of course the integrity of our environment is at risk today."
Bewley said since announcing her candidacy in December, she has spent a good deal of time traveling the 25th District, not so much to campaign for office, but to learn more about the issues in the district.
"My decision to run for this seat basically came from the fact when I had lost my job 10 years ago when the mill shut down, and Bob had announced his retirement, now would probably be an opportunity to make a run for state senate," Ratzlaff said. "And only because of the issues we had with the mill, issues that we've had throughout northern Wisconsin with jobs and unemployment, and the work that I have done as a mayor to go forward with reopening the mill, we were able to avoid a plant shutdown of our Weather Shield plant in town."
In all, he said about 600 jobs were created or retained.
"I've owned and operated my own business," Kauther said. "I had 12 trucks on the road all the way from the Michigan border to Duluth, Minn. for over 12 years. One of the toughest things to do is to start a business."
He said while many businesses fail in the first five years, his knowledge of budgeting and attitude to get things done kept him going.
"I bring this attitude and I can get things done in Madison, based not only on my business experience but I've worked union jobs my entire life," Kauther said.
Candidates answered questions from a panel that included Wisconsin Public Radio reporter Mike Simonson, Ashland Daily Press reporter Rick Olivo, and former Ashland Daily Press editor Claire Duquette.
Where mining and clean water were concerned, Ratzlaff favored going through the process to determine if mining can be done in a safe manner, and Bewley said that is the role the federal Environmental Protection Agency has in the process. Only Kauther condemned regulations that "smother" business.
"I believe if this mine goes forward, it will be done in the right way," Ratzlaff said.
"We have a DNR here in the state of Wisconsin that is very thorough," said Kauther.
However, Bewley said she has been at the table, and she has seen the relaxation of wetland standards and has concerns.
"I think it's very important that the facts be made perfectly clear," Bewley said. "Wisconsin's mining law does not equal the environmental standards, the permitting calendar or the local participation that Minnesota does. They're not equal at all."
Where education is concerned, Bewley said she supports Wisconsin Superintendent Tony Evers fair funding proposal to assure small and rural districts can continue to operate.
"There's less dependence solely on the property tax, and allows for the inflow of general purpose revenue, and state funding formulas that are going to get the money to the individual school districts in a way that rural schools or schools that are faced with declining enrollments aren't going to be decimated to the point that they have to close schools, consolidate," Bewley said.
"It's always going to be a struggle because the money just is not there," Kauther said of funding education. "… Education is going to be a struggle."
Ratzlaff said he would favor increasing the sales tax by one or two percent to help with the cost of educating children, something that has been discussed.
"Everyone's paying that tax, not just a certain few," Ratzlaff said.
With declining sources of revenue to fund the state's transportation system, each of the candidates had ideas for ways to maintain the infrastructure vital to economic development.
"Right now we have a surplus … and if you treat it like a businessman would have to treat it with a business," Kauther said. He said if he had a surplus in one area of his budget, but a shortage in another area, he would use the surplus to cover the shortfall rather than raise rates on his customers.
Ratzlaff said he would rather see the surplus in the bank rather than spending it.
"You look at the gas tax and maybe do a small bump on the gas tax because people are traveling less and vehicles are getting better mileage," Ratzlaff said. "The money has to come from somewhere for your roads. Somebody still has to pay for these things. … I think a little more study has to be done on it."
Bewley noted that voters will decide a constitutional amendment that would prohibit using transportation revenue for purposes other than transportation. However, with no increases in transportation revenue, she said money still has to come from somewhere whether that's gas taxes or other sources.
"Unless we figure out a way to get more money in the transportation fund, we are not going to have the roads the rest of the states have. I don't think that is acceptable."

QMI Agency
Usually when someone is tasered in the butt during an altercation with police, they're not too apologetic.
But not former NBA player and first round pick, Donte Greene.
Greene was arrested over the weekend by Miami Beach police on charges of disorderly conduct and battery in South Beach.
According to the arrest affidavit released by Miami Beach police on Monday, Greene says he was defending his younger brother, Dmetrique during a fight with St. Louis Rams lineback Jo-Lonn Dunbar, moments later police stepped in and tasered Donte in the rear end.
"I am sorry [officer] but this guy has been after me for years since I got into the NBA," Greene said, according to the affidavit. "He was beating my brother, and I had to do what I did."
Dunbar, however, told police he was only defending himself from the Greene brothers.
According to the report, it all began after a "verbal altercation" outside of Club Dream.
Security at the club couldn't contain the men, and all hell broke loose.
Donte punched Dunbar from behind and continued to punch him in the head, he then ignored police orders telling him to stop, resulting in him being tasered, police said.
One prong hit Donte's back, while the other landed on the right buttocks, according to police.
Donte Greene plays in the D-League and is still trying to get back into the NBA, after going 28th overall by the Memphis Grizzlies in 2008.

Armonk, N.Y. -- Jewelry will be one of the brightest categories for U.S. retailers this holiday season, according to a new analytics-based forecast by IBM. Jewelry sales are set to hit $2.6 billion In November, up 7.7% over the year-ago period, IBM reported, and $5.4 billion in December, up 4% over last year.
The forecast is produced by IBM retail analytics leader Dr. Michael Haydock, who noted that 2011 U.S. jewelry sales have been highly correlated to the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), also called the "Fear Index," which measures the volatility of the S&P 500 stock index.
The increase in the VIX has been accompanied by an increase in jewerly sales two months later. This relationship is somewhat counterintuitive as one would typically expect a volatile stock market to increase fear and dampen demand for luxury goods.
"The correlation — jewelry sales rising two months after big stock swings — is highly unusual and bears watching," Haydock said. "If the trend continues, it could enhance the work we do in helping clients improve the efficiency and impact of their marketing and advertising programs."

Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Has the market gotten too complacent about these new highs? Jim Cramer told his Mad Money viewers Friday he thinks that might be the case, and next week's game plan will be a difficult road for the bulls.
Cramer said the markets will be ruled by two macro-economic events next week -- the European Central Bank's decision on interest rates on Thursday and the U.S. non-farm payroll numbers on Friday. Whatever stocks may gain earlier in the week can be easily be undone by these two events.
Then there's the Apple (AAPL) Worldwide Developers Conference that kicks off on Monday. Cramer said this stock, which he owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, has created 300,000 jobs in the burgeoning app economy and this conference should help buoy the markets.
Then, on Tuesday, Cramer said he'll be watching Dollar General (DG). While he generally likes the dollar group, Cramer said he'd bet on Target (TGT) with its 3% yield and its new CEO.
Wednesday brings earnings from Brown-Forman (BFB) and PVH Corp (PVH). Cramer said he'd be a buyer of Forman but would take profits and lock in gains with PVH because the stock has had a nice move higher.
On Thursday, J.M. Smucker (SJM), Ciena (CIEN), Joy Global (JOY) and Zoe's Kitchen (ZOES) will all be reporting. Cramer said he wants to hear Smucker's thoughts on the recent wave of consolidation in the food stocks, but he'd avoid Joy Global. He was also not a fan of Ciena, preferring Cisco Systems (CSCO), but does approve of owning Zoe's over the long term.
Executive Decision: Tom Pike
For his "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer sat down with Tom Pike, CEO of Quintiles Transnational (Q), the company biotech firms turn to when they need to outsource their clinical trials. Quintiles just posted a 13-cents-a-share earnings beat on an 8.4% rise in revenue.
Pike said it's been an exciting year for Quintiles. He said there has been a ton of money flowing into biotech firms and that means more drugs that need testing and more business for Quintiles.

Am sure there are some Nets fans that came to the games at the Meadowlands or here and wished this wasn happening or that the team was staying somewhere on this side of the state line.

I'm not sure this variation needs to be added as a separate route. Perhaps add it as a comment under the Great Zot maybe?
In any case, I've done this, as well as just about every other Great Zot variation while soloing in that area, and can't recommend much about this variation. Avoid it, as it's the worst way to finish the Great Zot. My favorite way of finishing the Great Zot is the wide crack that forms the right side of the tower of Rebuffet's Arete. Fun, mostly solid rock, and pretty mellow for wide-5.8.
By Adam Hicks`
Aug 14, 2003
I was actually going to add that as another variation, but the site went haywrie. PRobably a good recommendation to not have this as a whole route in itself, but seeing as how The Great Zot isn't described on this site at all, except for the beginning up to the Zot Face finish, I thought it seemed worthy as an addition.
It isn't good, but it's better than the standard finish, so I gave it one star. The finish you've described is the best finish to The Great Zot, deserving of three stars with some pretty spectacular fun!

Shaco Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hi everyone! Im a Ap Shaco user and I want to share this build that I use to jungle with him. Its preety funny and really usefull, If you do it correctly, each gank is, at least, 1 kill for your team.
I know that there should be other guides or builds in order to do these things, so I only want to show my way :P
I was trying with a lot of combinations but finally I decided to 9xGreater Mark of Insight in reds, 9xGreater Seal of Resilience in yellows (to resist better the jungle), Greater Glyph of Potency in blues and 3xGreater Quintessence of Potency in quintessences. Why? Because with Ap runes at lvl 1 youll do the jungle really fast and your ganks will be totally mortal, and thats what you want xDDD
Another option would be 9xGreater Seal of Intellect in yellows in order to have 1 free TWO-SHIV POISON (that in early is really usefull)
So with that I can do the jungle in 3mins 10sec and have lvl 3 with red and blue buffs
I chose 9/12/9 cause of these 12 points at Defense tree are really usefull in order to minimize the damage that the minions do at the jungle and increase your survival with more Hp....9 points at offense tree are totally justified (Mp...xDD)and the other 9 points at Utility tree too (mana regen is totally needed if you want to be constantly ganking and you finally get Runic Affinity)
maybe I could change Improved Recall instead of Summoner's Insight so Ill try it :P
ok with it there are a lot of ways and obviously it depends on the game and how it is going.
In order to begin I always buy 1x Amplifying Tome + Health Potion And the jungle way in order to be lvl 3 with red and blue buff and 75% Hp would be
1º->1 box near Wolves but without aggro them while you are going to blue
2º->3 bexes at blue bush then you back to wolves
3º->You wait, and when you box has 3 sec CD you pull wolves to you first box, after fear you put your second one and kill them
4º->Go blue and pull it, after first fear, put another box and kill him without smite
5º->with blue buff go to red and put one box without aggro them, when you box has 3 sec CD pull red and after fear put your second box, kill red with smite.
Congratulations, you are lvl 3 with both buffs at min 3,10 more or less
After that go gank!!
Here, a video where you can see it :P /edit/wiki-article?create=kages-lucky
Skill Sequence
No more to add, your priority must be your knive nowadays
Hallucinate> Two-Shiv Poison> Jack In The Box> Deceive
But obviously, if you see that you need to dissapear a lot of times and really fast, youll learn deceive before jitb, or if you decided to buy lich then youll do it.
Summoner Spells
I go with Smite Ignite why? because 1 Smite in your team is needed, in order to last hit Dragoon and Baron (and youll do the jungler faster ofc) then, i think that, for AP shaco, Ignite is needed too, in order to overkill your enemies, (and for your 4 ap points that in early are usefull) but if you die a lot of times, maybe you should choose Flash
Pros / Cons
Pros Really Funny and desperate for your enemies xDDD
-Easy to Gank
-3'10'' Double buff and ready to gank
-Lot of burst damage with Deathfire Grasp shaco two shiv poison
-Easy to Scape
-Able to continous ganking
-Easy to do Counterjungling
-You have double slow, red buf and knive passive xD
-Really easy to gank
-Dominating burst damage (instant kill carry AD/AP a lot of times xDDD)
-Easy to Scape
-Jitb really usefull for a lot of things and situations (Map control, fear enemies, distractions...)
Cons Really, really weak all of the times
-If you use your Deceive, your possibilities of scaping reduced to 15%
-Without Blue buff....hard time man....hard time...
-Mana dependent
-Bad gank = your dead
-In general, bad farming
-Cant do Dragoon alone
-If you dont play well, you can be really useless
-without a good early, youll need to go late if you wanna overkill someone
-If you dont adapt your build to your enemies, youll have a hard time
-If you dont do what you have to do at TF, youll be useless
Shaco AP is not as easy as people think. Is easy to throw your knive xD but if you want to be usefull to your team your rol is more complicated because you have to know where enter and who will be your focus, when use your deceive....Shaco AP, if you want to play it how it must be, is hard to master. But, instead of it, is really, really funny xDDD And youll see it
So then...
Im continously using it so Ill try differents ways, ill notice you if i discover new things :P

Mitt's move may open more doors
Mr. ConservativeFeb. 16, 2008 2:28 p.m.
I am changing from Republican to Independent. If the Republicans would never vote for a Mormon then why should I vote for a Republican. If all of the Mormons voted for an independent, maybe the Republican party would wake up when they realize they can't win UT,ID,NV, or WY without us.
McCain has Flip-floppedFeb. 15, 2008 7:10 p.m.
tons more than Mitt ever did. Hopefully the Republicans will lose in November and no one will have to worry about whether they can actually take a position and stick to it.
RossFeb. 15, 2008 5:16 p.m.
You intolerant, religious bigot. Don't you understand the difference between Bush and the rest of the Republican party? Hillary voted for the war, so did Lieberman and other Democrats who now want to cut and run, except Lieberman who is now an independent, and for good reason.
Do you really want Hillary in office so she can put Bill in the useless, anti-American U.N.? Do you really think we can afford to dismantle our health system and install Hillary's plan?
Bart, your ignorance of the world scene is beneath dignity to recieve an answer. I'm sure you slept through history in school, but now would be a good time to read up on all that you've missed.
Re: CluelessFeb. 15, 2008 10:59 a.m.
Russ made a brilliantly informed post on yesterday's "Romney Endorses McCain" article. Check it out. Just because someone has a differing opinion doesn't mean they are uninformed.
We need to end the Republican dictatorship. The democrats will succeed. Oh yeah, it's coming.
Yo Bart - wake up!!Feb. 15, 2008 10:42 a.m.
Bart - It's not paranoia. There are thousands to tens of thousands of extremists who would like nothing more than to set off a briefcase nuke in a major financial district in the US. We might not ever recover economically. It would cripple the US for years, maybe even decades if they pulled it off simultaneously in several districts. Meanwhile the democrats are worried about drilling for oil in a remote corner of Alaska because it might ruin the view. Come on out of your bubble for a while and get a wiff of the real world.
CluelessFeb. 15, 2008 8:52 a.m.
Russ - you don't throw away a Ferrari because it has a scratch. Is Romney perfect? No. He is a bit of an opportunist - I'll admit. But, he's light years ahead of the other candidates. If you could get around your bigotry you might see this. We don't see things through a prism in Utah; we see things as they really are. This is a job interview..give the job to the most qualified and the person who is most likely to fix the country. ...and keep your ridiculously uninformed and myopic views to yourself.
McCain's MotherFeb. 15, 2008 8:48 a.m.
Will never allow Johnny to name Mitt as a running mate.
BartFeb. 15, 2008 8:32 a.m.
Romney would be mad to join a ticket with McCain. There is no Republican that is going to win--period. And, another loss on Mitt's resume would not look good in 2016. Yes, I said 2016.
Can we get over thyis "other side of the pond" stuff. That is soooo ridiculous. Can you spell PARANOIA?
LarryFeb. 15, 2008 7:29 a.m.
From the beautiful prism of Virginia, Romney also looks good. As the VP, Romney would immediately bring two things McCain will be in short supply of...money and organization. The harsh realty is that the Dems will out fundraise McCain almost 2 to 1. McCain could really use Romney's deep pockets. Romney could also bring Michigan, Nevada, and Mass into play for the GOP. On the other hand, Romney may want to sit this one out and wait until 2012.
russFeb. 15, 2008 6:04 a.m.
On no... it is too early in the day to bring truth to the table but in this story we have to...
Remember the people who would NOT vote for Mitt. Well, they did not get on a bus and leave the country. They voted NO to Mitt. He might look good through the prism of Utah's magnificent sunrises and sunsets, but out here in the other parts of the nation, he looks like a schemer, a flip-flopper, and an opportunist. (And i didn't even mention the cult problem). He is kissing up so he can make a major address at the convention, to set up his next run in 2012. McCain can read the polls, and knows that two conservatives on the ticket would be... well, two conservatives on the ticket. Poll after poll shows that the nation is moving on, and not moving backwards. Less than 20% of the general population considers itself conservative. And some of those will not vote for Mitt not matter what. No matter what!
Ah, a beautiful morning in Utah, the prism makes everything look beautiful. Enjoy it. But easy on the sugar.
GrampsFeb. 15, 2008 1:27 a.m.
What a year..many want to follow the pied piper to the land of milk and honey..Obama sounds great for one so young and inexperienced...LOOK OUT for what we wish for, we might get it. The world is unsafe and we are in the sights of terrorists. We are overspent on foreign wars. We need smart and seasoned leaders. Mitt Romney will help balance the Mc Cain thing and bring unity where it is needed. I hope we get to utilize his talents and bring sanity to our government some way. Listen to his counsel.
WhiplashFeb. 15, 2008 12:29 a.m.
This was a very smart move on Romney's part. We need to unite as a party. McCain is not my first choice but, I will vote for him in November for three reasons:
1. He understands the importance of keeping terrorists on their heels and on the other side of the pond.
2. He'll choose conservative supreme court judges.
3. He'll make the Bush tax cuts permanent.
His running mate will be closer to the Presidency than any other vice president in history. McCain will be 72 by the time he takes office. Hope Romney and McCain iron out their differences and put together a solid conservative ticket.

This is more like 2003 FSU to me
posted by ShermanOaksND
...in person.
It, like USC 2014, had a horrible, horrible quality. Pity.
I sat in the Florida State section during that game. It began with good-hearted ribbing. Then wild enthusiasm on their part. Then, "gee, you guys are just having a tough year."
I don't recall seeing a team so lost on the field as that day. Thus ending any delusion that Ty Willingham was a remotely decent football coach.

The Beatles, Revolver. It's pop. It's classic. It's experimental. It's revolutionary.

18. Environ of choice: city or country, and where on the map?
English countryside for a couple of months. But Berlin and London for part of the year. And in Puglia, Italy for the rest of the year.

Please go away. We need a clean man and you can't own everything.
20. Last but certainly not least, what are you working on, now?

FMM SA, the Belgian subsidiary of the Recylex group, has announced plans to shutter its lead smelter operations.
In a statement, Recylex, based in France, says that in spite of internal efforts and numerous investments aimed at improving the performance of the smelter facility, changing market conditions have taken a heavy toll on the operating performance of this business, which has become a structural loss-maker.
As required under the legislation in force in Belgium, it has begun a process of consulting with all its employees to find solutions and possible alternative courses of action.
The closure, as well as the consultation phase, will not impact FMM SA's scrap lead-acid batteries collection business, the company says. FMM SA's activities include a scrap car battery collection center and production of lead solely from recycled materials. In 2012, FMM SA produced around 10,000 metric tons of recycled lead. In 2012 the smelter produced 152,251 metric tons of lead; and Recylex notes that the group's lead segment was 75 percent of the consolidated sales.
Recylex focuses on lead and plastic recycling from automobile and industrial batteries. The company also recycles zinc from particles generated from the production of electric steel plates. It also specializes in producing zinc oxides and special metals for the electronics industry.

With all the excitement of our final day, the rush to fit everything in - the meetings, the celebrations, the packing and the (extremely necessary) sleep - the final post had to wait until my feet were back on Canadian soil and my eyes were ready to open after a well-deserved day of rest.
The main goal of this trip was a clinical experience. An experience none of us would ever have gotten in Canada. Though few of us in the program had been lucky enough to observe for a half day at a cleft lip/palate or VPI clinic in London, the observations could never provide us with practical, hands-on experience in the area of cleft lip and palate. In Ontario, there are specialized teams at particular hospitals in only a few cities that even treat these children. There are a few very specialized speech-language pathologists working on these teams that get to be there from the beginning and intervene from birth. Afterall, in Canada these children are caught so early - intervention is at hand at the earliest moment and is accessible to any family that needs it.
A traditional placement might afford you some experience with a variety of clients - children of all shapes and sizes with all sorts of histories. But there is no traditional placement available to us that would allow us to intervene with this special population to work on resonance, compensatory articulation, nasality - not in such a direct, specialized, tangible way. We were right there, doing the therapy, assessing these children with feeding, speech and language difficulties - babies a few months old, babies with syndromes, teenagers with unrepaired clefts. We would be lucky to have even observed such intervention in Canada.
As a clinician in Canada, I am taking this experience and carrying it with me through every child I treat. I have truly learned what it means to collaborate with clients and families within a specific culture and to adapt my approach to fit the structural and functional abilities of each individual client. These very specific and special cases challenge us to think outside our box of "typical intervention" - out of our norms, out of our textbooks and out of our comfort zone. While traditional placements challenge us to put our studies into practice, this placement challenged what we know about typical (English!) development and what we take for granted about the typical children we see for intervention. It truly opened my eyes to special cases and our role as professionals in their development.
How do you do speech therapy with a teenager with a gaping hole in the roof of her mouth? I would never have had to ask myself that question in a typical placement, but I asked it Peru - and we answered it. We worked it out. We faced this huge challenge and I learned more about what it means to make a sound than I ever could have at home. I learned how difficult it can be, and I learned how valuable those skills are.
Placements always challenge us. Placements always aim to have us apply what we know how to do. We know how to do these things for children with cleft lip/palate - we are taught how to do these things; but when would we ever have the opportunity to use it without this placement in Peru? Likely never. I wish that everyone could have this opportunity to grow and experience this professional development. It is enlightening as a clinician to put your expertise into practice and to know that you have dipped your feet in to every area of your field, so that you know where you want to practice and you can find your nishe. Afterall, we all have the brains but we each have special gifts that lead us in different directions. How would you know where to go if you didn't know what your options were?
Thank you, Western, for the experience. For the opportunity to integrate my profession with social justice, participate in an interdisciplinary approach, gain critical knowledge about how SLPs practice in other countries, and bring our knowledge to a group of professionals and families alike that were eager to learn from us. It was an honour to bring them everything we could, but it was a greater pleasure to learn everything we did from each of them. I am a better professional - and a better person - for it.

the last hoorah...
Another realization, perhaps on a deeper level, is that I do not want a predictable existance. I do not want to get so comfortable in my job that I surround myself in some kind of protected bubble where I am oblivious to the needs of the world. I want to make myself available for opportunities to serve abroad and offer my expertise where needed. As we have all come to realize over the last two weeks, we, as students and professionals, gain so much from experiences like this. We have all struggled with the feeling that we are gaining more than we are giving.

Una verdadera maravilla del mundo
We arrived in Cuzco very early on Saturday morning. After a looooong nap, we went horse-back riding in the mountains. Talk about fun! My horse's name was Chavo (slang term for guy in Spanish). After getting used to being on a horse, it was a great hour and a half. We got to see the rugged scenery of the Andes, which was quite breathtaking. After that we had the chance to take a photo of the whole city from high up on one of the cliffs. Then we got to explore the city a little bit. I get the impression that Cuzco is more like what people expect when they think of Peru... nestled in the mountains with Spanish style architecture. Finally the whole group of students (forty plus) with Solidarity in Action went out to dinner. A great way to finish the day.
On Sunday, we went to Machu Picchu. It is very deserving of its designation as one of the 7 new wonders of the world. It really is indescribable. I spent the time trying to imagine the city as it was before Fransico Pizarro and his conquistadores came to South America, and how it would have looked like when it was full of Incans (instead of back-pack clad tourists). It was tougher than I expected to tour, though. There were hundreds of stairs, and many were quite steep. We all certainly got a workout yesterday... but it was more than worth it. It was a day I will never, ever forget.
Gracias a todos!

Scattered Thoughts
From Sue and Taz
Final good-byes were offered to kids, families and Armonizar professionals and staff.
Tears were shed, hugs, kissed, cards and gifts were exchanged. It was obvious that despite our short visit and language barriers positive relationships were established.
When we reflect on our week, we are all feeling that we have gained far more than we have provided - even in light of the fundraising, donations, hard work, preparation, Spanish lessons, hours spent developing tools and resources, rehearing in-services in Spanish, preparing and providing assessment and treatment sessions .........
So what do we think we´ve gained ....well to begin with a new found respect and appreciation for the challenges that professionals in developing nations deal with and work around everyday, a greater sense of thankfulness for what we have in Canada, an understanding of the meaning and nature of human relationships, an awareness that professionals here take on huge voluntary committments to clinics like Armonizar (where the ENT, dentists, SLP, geneticist, pediatrician all offer their professional services on a volunteer basis at evening consultations). A true testament that the sum is greater than the individual parts, and a living example of solidarity in action. We are sure that the students will share their own personal reflections regarding their week later in the blog!
We finished the day with a concert by local Peruvian musicians. Be sure to check out the FlickR account for a short video clip of the concert! Early night as we have to be up and out to the airport by 3:00 am to get to Cusco.

Lost in translation...un peu...
Some things that have struck me...
One of our clients, a little girl who brings a great attitude and a big smile to speech therapy, informed us that she and her mother woke up at five o'clock in the morning to ride a bus for three hours to reach the clinic. Talk about dedication. A three hour bus ride for a one hour speech therapy session led in somewhat broken Spanish by two Canadian students. Talk about trust. These families value our services. They believe that we have something to offer their child, and place their faith and trust in us. What an honour for us.
Another client came to session with beaded bracelets and rings that she had made for Jana, Sue, and me. This was after only one assessment session with her. We had not even begun therapy yet and she was already bringing gifts of appreciation. I have witnessed a lot of this here in Lima. Grateful parents and children offering us gifts and hugs and kisses on the cheek at the start and end of each session. I think it puts our minds at ease; it reminds us that, even though we can't 'fix' the communication problem or answer all of the parents' questions, they do genuinely appreciate any help we can give.
The girls and I have spent a lot of time reflecting on our cohesion as a team. We have benefitted from conducting therapy in pairs, and could not imagine it any other way. We have all our had our moments of uncertainty regarding our clinical skills or language abilities, but we've pulled together and kept each other going. Each of us plays a crucial role within the team, whether it's to provide comic relief, translation, a hug, or a reminder that, "We know a lot more than nothing!" What a great experience.
Some funny moments?
In her interactions with parents, clinic staff and cab drivers, Sue will throw in expressions like, "un peu" and "so" amidst her fairly fluent Spanish (she really is quite good!). This has provided us all with comic relief and I think it has started to rub off on the rest of us, un peu....
"Student Clinician"
A certain supervisor, who shall remain nameless, signed a "SOAP note" with the title "Student Clinician" instead of her own credentials. Talk about relating to your students! It had us all chuckling.
Wednesday, August 5, 2009
Aqui vamos...
Of the 6 of us, I do speak the most Spanish. This definitely brings some advantages. I can easily convey what it is I want to say to the clients, their families, the staff at Armonizar, and even cab drivers! Coupled with that is my ability to understand what they tell me. It definitely facilitates the therapeutic process and makes interviewing families so much easier... I can't imagine how I would deal with it if I couldn't speak the language. I definitely take my hat off to the others for their patience, their persistence and their creativity!! I may do a lot of the talking, but I still couldn't imagine doing this without the others. You ladies are awesome!
The downside to the translation piece is the sheer exhaustion. I feel like my brain is split in half right now and as a result, neither half can operate as quickly or sometimes as effectively. It's always funny when I start forgetting words in English. Being pulled in multiple directions for translation purposes is tiring... but I know that it is all worth it!
I've been speaking Spanish since I was ten years old and it's something I've often taken for granted. I've been fluent for most of my life, so it's just a part of me. But I've never really used this part of me for such a worthwhile purpose. I never thought that when I was struggling to learn different verb conjugations (I still shudder at the thought of all those darn irregular ones) that they would come in so handy for a professional opportunity like this. I am truly grateful that I have this skill and that I can use it to help other people.
However, I am still looking forward to telling all my family in Mexico about how much I've been translating and how much Spanish I've been speaking :)
Hasta luego!

President Michel Sleiman refused Wednesday to sign a controversial new rent bill into law, [2] arguing that it was unfair, prompting a brief protest by a group of landlords.
Sleiman has said he will not sign any unjust law or one that does not further social justice.
The president's signature is necessary for the law, which was recently endorsed by Parliament, to go into effect.
Longtime tenants have been holding protests urging Sleiman not to sign the rent law.
In turn, landlords have held several counterdemonstrations, urging the president to sign it.
Parliament passed dozens of draft bills in a series of sessions earlier this year. The president has signed all of the laws except the controversial draft rent bill. The other laws, which covered a range of topics from domestic violence to Civil Defense volunteers, will go into effect after they are published in the Official Gazette.
Tenants have said that the law would displace thousands of families who rent in Beirut under an old law that governs lease contracts enacted before 1993.
Inhabitants pay minimal rent fees that often amount to less than LL1,000,000 annually. Under the new law, rents would increase over six years until they reach 5 percent of the current market value of an apartment. Owners have the freedom to either sell the apartment or lease under a new contract and price.
Meanwhile, a group of landlords protested outside the National Musuem, asking Sleiman to sign the law, saying most of the owners were also part of the working class in the country and needed to be treated fairly.

This week in space for Canada is much more boring than last week and will likely not focus on any one specific professional entertainer.
Instead, we're going to highlight those who are moderating space focused policy documents, discussions and commentary, providing access to important information and contributing to the development of new relationships among existing players which may or may not eventually compensate for the seemingly inevitable slow self destruction of the present US government funded American space program.
With that in mind, here are a couple of quick bullet points providing some context to this week in space for Canada.
First of all, Canadian based Project Plowshares and the Secure World Foundation have just released their 2009 Space Security Report on behalf of the Space Security Index. Canadian partners in the study include the Institute of Air and Space Law at McGill University and the Simons Centre for Disarmament and NonProliferation Research at the University of British Columbia. As well, the project is supported by the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, the Ploughshares Fund and the Erin J.C Arsenault Trust Fund at McGill University. The full document is available for download at no charge on the Space Security Website in the publications section for those who'd like to take a closer look. As a personal aside, it's a useful read.
Secondly, for those who argue that space activities are essentially a research and development subset of the larger aerospace industry, we also make mention of the upcoming Aerospace Industries Association of Canada Annual General Meeting being held October 14th and 15th in Ottawa which is focusing on "positioning for recovery in an era of economic uncertainty."
Perhaps the AIAC business people should coordinate with the people organizing the upcoming Canadian Science Policy Conference scheduled for October 28th to 30th in Toronto which is focused on attracting academics and others with "an interest in the intersection of policy with science and technology." Speakers include Minister of State for Science and Technology Gary Goodyear, Minister for Training John Molloy and conservative populist Preston Manning.
Or maybe the business people, the academics and the politicians will all meet together at the Canadian Space Society, which is in the midst of winnowing down the forty plus abstracts sent by potential presenters down to a workable number for the 2009 Canadian Space Summit, scheduled for November 21st and 22nd at the Royal Military College in Kingston Ontario. According to organizers, the final line up for the summit should be competed over the next week or so.
And finally, no week in space for Canada is complete without a little bit of encouragement for the people who actually do things like the "Engineering students build moon dirt digging robot for NASA competition" profiled in the October 9th edition of the Vancouver Sun. These student engineers, and their slightly older, likely graduated colleagues are the people everyone else being profiled this week, should really be focusing on.
Chuck Black is the 2009 Secretary of the Canadian Space Commerce Association, a member of the Canadian Space Society, active in the International Association of Space Entrepeneurs and looking for the next big opportunity to make a little money off the high frontier. I live in Toronto, Ontario and can be reached at chuck_black < at > sympatico.ca.>

An avionics retrofit for Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters is being proposed as part of a new partnership between the multinational Cobham Group and Carson Helicopters of the U.S. Cobham has provided avionics to most aerospace majors, while Carson has specialized in airframe modifications to enhance the performance of S-61 helicopters.
Cobham Commercial Systems will provide large-format synthetic vision flight displays, together with new flight management, communications and navigation equipment. Cobham's primary flight display is the only synthetic system certified for IFR helicopter operations, the company claims. Cobham also says that its new Helicopter Stability Augmentation System (HeliSAS) "brings added safety within the reach of operators for whom previous systems were too expensive and heavy."
Carson Helicopters of Perkasie, Pa., holds more than 20 Supplemental Type Certificates for the S-61. The company has fitted composite main and tail rotors and upgraded engines and transmissions, in addition to fuselage stretching and shortening. It previously fitted the Sagem glass cockpit to the type. Carson also has a partnership with Sikorsky Aircraft to purchase and modernize S-61 helicopters to a new S-61T standard for hot-and-high operations by the U.S. State Department.
