This may be a ridiculous question but I am having Blepharoplasty and Browpexy surgery the week before I go to Disneyland. I am a 50 year old woman who heals quickly. Would there be any damage done to my eyelids if I were to partake and go on rides 7 days after surgery? Any advice would be greatly appreciated…
Blepharoplasty and Browpexy Recovery and Travel Plans?
Doctor Answers 7
Blepharoplasty and Browpexy Recovery
Hi.Many patients do not, but you may get some bruising from your eyelid and brow surgery. If you do, it may last a week or maybe two. You can take arnica before and after surgery to reduce risk of bruising and speed resolution if you do get any. It would be wise not to go on amusement rides 7 days after surgery. I tell patients to avoid exercising and other activities which may speed heart rate and raise blood pressure for two weeks after surgery.Good luck!

Browpexy and blepharoplasty
I would not recommend going to Disneyland one week after surgery. You will more than likely be bruised and swollen. Exertion may cause more bruising and swelling. I usually have patients wait 3-4 weeks before starting light exertion acitivities.
Recovery after blepharoplasty and browpexy
I admire your spirit and planning however 7 days after eyelid and eyebrow surgery is too soon to go to amusement park. This does not mean you should hide inside the house. Generally, I keep the patient from exercises and strenuous activities for 10 to 14 days after these type of surgery. If you are going to Disneyland just to walk around that's ok, but I imagine you are going on rides and Disneyland is typically quite crowded and unexpected things can happened in such place. Why take the chance to affect your result?
Best Wishes,
Stewart Wang, MD FACS, Wang Plastic Surgery

You should not be going to Disneyland 5 days after surgery. You can change your results dramatically. I would reconsider.
Too early for Disney
In my opinion, one week postop is not enough healing time for you to go on Disney rides. You will be jostled, bumped, spun and all these things are risky that early after surgery. I would recommend rescheduling either Disney or the surgery.
But....you should listen to your surgeon. He/she should be the most important person for you to ask these questions.
Blepharoplasty recovery- don't push it and everything goes right. Push it and chemosis will haunt you
Dear Danio,
I feel very strongly that for two weeks after any procedure involving the lower lid, you should not read, email, drive or expose your eyes to wind. In reality my patients usually feel better much earlier but there is always some component of dryness after blepharoplasty. If you are careful it never becomes a clinical issue but if you go on rides at disney just one week after you are at risk for backtracking and developing chemosis- inflammation of the conjunctiva. In my opinion it is not worth it either reschedule the surgery or reschedule disney.
All the best,
Rian A. Maercks M.D.
Facial surgery and travel
It is quite common for patients to come to the Los Angeles/Beverly Hills area for their surgical procedures. Generally speaking, assuming all goes well, a trip to Disneyland 1 week after surgery should not affect your healing significantly, assuming you are just walking around and not going on ambitious rides. However, your surgeon will have specific recommendations that you should discuss with him/her about depending on which approach/technique he/she plans to use for your blepharoplasty and browpexy. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Hi, i have read that lash stimulators work by activating lazy hair follicles, i wanna know if these are activated are they going to be deactivated after stopping the lash stimulator or not, because i used one about 9 months ago and i have grown some lashes in undesired places and i pluck them out but they grow back and i am still growing new lashes in areas i don't want and out of my natural lash line.
Lash Stimulator?
Doctor Answers 2
Latisse and Unwanted Hair Growth
Latisse can cause the development of hair in other areas. The product was be placed precisely with the applicator.
Growing hairs in undesirable locations after using lash stimulator products
Technically, yes, you are correct. If you get drops of the solution onto undesirable sites, you can grow hairs there, if there are active hair follicles. That's why it's important to follow the upper lash line only, and not go beyond, or you can get small hairs to grow at the corners and sides of the eyes. Lash stimulators can activate any hair follicles, not just eyelashes, so that's why Latisse is in testing for use in the scalp and eyebrows too.

St. John's Head Coach Steve Lavin updated the status of his return to the sideline during a Big East conference call by announcing there is no update.
The timetable of Lavin's return to the sideline has not changed and will continue to be dictated by the recuperation process and a full recovery, he said during the January 5 call with members of the media.
Lavin coached four games in November after missing the season opener, but has not returned to the sideline since as he recovers from October surgery to treat his prostate cancer.
While the strain of manning the sidelines during games is still too taxing, Lavin has continued to undertake many of the other jobs that fall on the coach of a major college basketball program.
Attending practices, hitting the recruiting trail and meeting with his staff to prep for games and plan practices, Lavin described his new role as akin to that of a general manager.
"I'm trying to strike a balance at this stage in terms of adding value while I'm away from coaching the games," the Johnnies coach said. "I'm trying to burn my fuel or energy more efficiently in ways that I can move the program forward during this period of time."
The coach credited his time as a broadcaster as helping him watch a game removed from the sideline.
"There is some value, I think also, in the time and distance to watch the game at home or watch the game up top in a box because you see things more clearly, more objectively than when you're actually in the midst of competition on the sidelines," Lavin said. "So I try and bring that perspective to the staff and players at practices and meetings."
The 7-7 (1-2 Big East) Red Storm will try to climb above .500 Saturday in Cincinnati against the Bearcats at 1 p.m.

Sime Darby Property has unveiled Seri Pilmoor, a
high-end residential project located in Ara Damansara. Seri Pilmoor comprises
74 bungalows and 34 semi-detached homes set within 28.5 acres of freehold land.
The bungalows and semi-ds have built-ups of 6,500 sq
ft onwards and 4,600 sq ft onwards respectively. Residents at Seri Pilmoor will
also get to enjoy 'The Lanai' facility that features a 2,700 sq ft
conservatory, a swimming pool, wading pool, secure play space for children,
kitchenette, meeting rooms, a pantry.
Dato' Tunku Putra Badlishah, managing director of Sime
Darby Property said, "Seri Pilmoor offers investors and owners a sanctuary
which is exclusive and prestigious. A niche development, Seri Pilmoor
predominantly offers distinctive architecture both externally and internally;
50 per cent green footprint; sustainable features which were meticulously
designed and thoughtfully planned in line with Sime Darby Property's corporate
philosophy of sustainable development."
He added, "The low density, wide-frontage with
contemporary designs, use of sustainable materials, high level of security and
exclusive touches such as the private rooftop pavilions create a residential
development in a prime location which is highly desirable yet very limited in
its availability, which is what makes Seri Pilmoor so exclusive."
Prices of the bungalows will begin from RM4.57 million
while the semi-detached units begin from RM2.8 million. There are three design
types and six different rooftop pavilion layouts for the bungalows, while the
semi-detached units have two different pavilion layouts.
The rooftop pavilions come with options for a swimming
pool, reflective pool or Jacuzzi.
Seri Pilmoor homes are designed in compliance with the
Green Building Index with features such as a rainwater harvesting system, use
of formaldehyde-free finishes, all-natural products such as bamboo flooring and
asphalt roof shingles made from recycled materials.
Feng Shui consultant Joey Yap has accessed Seri
Pilmoor and commented that the development receives a flow of life-giving Qi
from the 'hills' to the North, which also creates a 'cradle-like' formation
that helps to lock in the life-generating Qi for the residents of Seri Pilmoor
to ensure an idyllic, auspicious and harmonious life for the residents.

STEVE CHIOTAKIS: The National Transportation Safety Board today convened a panel looking at safety implications of code-sharing agreements between big airlines and smaller ones. Six of the last fatal airline crashes in this country involved smaller, regional carriers. And that's raised questions about how airlines book passengers with other carriers.
Seth Kaplan is with Airline Weekly. He's with us live from Cairo, Egypt. Hi Seth.
SETH KAPLAN: Good morning, Steve.
CHIOTAKIS: What's the difference between the way large and regional carriers operate?
KAPLAN: Well, the large carriers sell the tickets, and sometimes they carry you themselves on the larger jets -- jets that we fly between New York and Los Angeles, for example, or the ones we fly internationally. But sometimes the contract out the flights to these smaller, regional carries. And you know when you're on a regional jet with 50 seats --
CHIOTAKIS: It's the smaller ones.
KAPLAN: Exactly. In terms of safety, ostensibly, there's no difference between the two. They have the same standards. In reality, some of the criticism of regional airlines is that their pilots do tend to have less experience. They earn less money which means that maybe they live a little bit far from work and maybe their a little bit more tired when they get to work.
CHIOTAKIS: I want to talk Seth, and I hate to interrupt you. The Continental CEO last June said his airline doesn't have the resources to oversee safety at all of its code-sharing partners. That it's the responsibility of the FAA. That's a bold statement. What does the FAA have to say about that?
KAPLAN: Technically, he's correct. The FAA is who over sees safety. But economically speaking for the airlines obviously they have a real interest in making sure that their passengers are being carried safely. Because when that turbo-prop was operated by a regional and went down outside Buffalo everybody read in the newspaper these were Continental passengers.
CHIOTAKIS: But it was a regional airline that went down.
KAPLAN: So there's a real incentive for the main lines to make sure that their passengers are safe.
CHIOTAKIS: Seth Kaplan from Airline Weekly, thanks.

Spark from Flint: Hawkins embraces starting role
To preview Saturday's USF men's basketball home game against Notre Dame, weintroduce freshman JaVontae Hawkins, the guard from Michigan who has jumped into the Bulls' starting lineup. He's scored 33 points in his last four games -- as many as Toarlyn Fitzpatrick and one less than Victor Rudd -- and you'll hear from none other than his god-brother and mentor, former Michigan State star Mateen Cleaves.
"The sky's the limit for JaVontae, with his size, his athleticism, his God-given ability," Cleaves said. "The thing I really love about him is his work ethic."

I wore my second even more and then I wore my 3rd pretty much constantly as she suggests. It was amazing to see the difference. Did any of you do this with any of yours? If so I would love to hear what differences you noticed.

From what I've seen with Gabriel and other carried babies that seems to be true. The babies I know who stayed in the plastic baby basket (car-seat) all the time stayed "infants" much longer--almost to a year old. I really believe it is a result of us keeping him with us (and on us) in that first year of his life.

Ghezzi-Brian Supertwin 1100
Back to the
Moto Guzzi Page
| Ghezzi-Brian Race Team
What a motorcycle! Here's Larry Hubbard's beautiful theme on
the Moto Guzzi: a Ghezzi-Brian Supertwin 1100 motorcycle in all its glory!
Larry writes:"I personally own the first Supertwin the importer brought in
and these are my thoughts on it. The first thing you notice is
quality of components, high end appointments in every detail and not
just bolted on randomly. The frame was engineered from a
"pure" race effort which gives loads of feedback to the rider
which promotes confidence as handling is superb. The 1100cc V-twin
engine fuel injection is tweaked to produce 94 horses and gobs of torque
which makes this 420 lb. cycle accelerate like no other, while the
Ferrari paint and Tubi style (Ferrari) stainless steel upswept exhaust
is beautiful "eye candy". Quality control is very high due to the small numbers made (8 per month
worldwide) which is not one of Moto Guzzis ' forte'. I really enjoy my
Supertwin and the envy I get from longing Ducati/Japanese owners, who
insist their bikes are "one of a kind". I work very
closely with the importer and he has brought in the only Ghezzi-Brian
Furia into the states. Needless to say he is cleaning out his
garage to make room for his new love. These bikes are superb-I
don't understand why the magazines haven't given them their due.
Note: this bike is for sale, contact Larry at
[email protected]
Thanks, Larry, for sending these photos!

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the Lake George Park Commission have announced a strategic plan to address invasive species in Lake George. But critics say the policies won't help the invasives fight.
The Lake George Park Commission will hold a special meeting next week to discuss a plan to prevent aquatic invasive species from entering the lake.The meeting on Tuesday follows a summer and fall assessing alternatives for keeping new invasive species out of Lake George. The Lake George Park Commission worked with communities surrounding the basin. It resulted in a recommendation from their consultant that a mandatory boat inspection program be imposed. Commission Executive Director Dave Wick says the upcoming meeting will examine how such a mandatory program would work.

I have TeamViewer (free version) installed on 4 computers (work, home, and two kids computers) I previously have been, able to access all of them from anywhere. Recently, I have not been able to access one of the kids computers. When I go onto the problem computer and open TeamViewer, it allows me to open the program and it begins to connect to TeamViewer (shows the yellow circle saying connecting to TeamViewer) then it ends up with a red circle saying "Not ready. Please check your connection." Obviously I do have internet connection. I have uninstalled and re-installed, rebooted, turned off my router and am out of ideas. I am not computer savvy so please keep any suggestions simple. Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Teamviewer - Not Ready. Please check your connection(3 posts)
It could be the connection on the computer you are trying to connect to. I've had the experience where, although there was internet connection on the target computer the connection was very weak - about 10 Mb's and teamviewer couldn't make the connection.
Also check the ID of the target computer. It may have changed.

A FORMER employee of the Windmill Entertainment Centre in Littlehampton has been given a 16 month conditional discharge for stealing two speakers.
Wayne Adams, 29, was made redundant from the Windmill Road complex in September last year after it got into financial difficulties.
The married father of one, of Carlingford Court, Bognor Regis, had been employed to carry out tests on equipment and inventories at the centre and took the news of losing his job badly.
In February this year another member of staff at the centre was looking on Ebay where he saw a rare audio speaker for sale by Adams, a Martin Audio valued at £150, was missing. Also missing from the centre was a JBL speaker worth £500 which was also found on Ebay.
Worthing Magistrates Court heard on Tuesday (May 27) that Adams had tried to sell the speakers because he needed the money. Police located both at his home and he made a full admission after being arrested earlier this year.
Due to his previous good character and the fact that he has now sought employment at Steyning Grammar School, Adams was only ordered to pay £85 costs and a £15 victim surcharge.

The silver Honda Civic careens past a no-entry sign into the parking lot of Little Havana's police substation. After it stops in a space marked "Lieutenant," a man and woman get out of the car and hustle toward the building's glass-doored entrance. But a frowning police officer flings open the door and warns that they have parked illegally. "This is Commissioner Sanchez," responds the woman, 22-year-old Lissette de Armas, an aide to Miami's newest political leader. "Oh," says the man in blue, suddenly smiling. "I didn't recognize you. Come on in."
As a state trooper, Joe Sanchez used to drop off drunken drivers at the station. "One year I made 70 DUI arrests," he recalls. But the 33-year-old Sanchez has far more sober matters to tend to these days.
On June 5 the city commission appointed Sanchez to the District 3 seat vacated by Humberto Hernandez after his arrest on vote fraud charges. Considering his predecessor's record and the phalanx of other Miami officials now in jail, Sanchez may be just what city hall needs: a gregarious former cop who is active in his neighborhood, goes to church every day, and has a lovely wife and two adorable kids. "I'm not a politician, I'm a community activist," he declares. Though neighbors in the Roads section of Miami accuse Sanchez of selling out the area to developers, some supporters term him Hernandez's opposite when it comes to honest politics.
Both Hernandez and Sanchez are thirty-something sons of Cuban immigrants, but the similarities end there. Hernandez went to Belen Jesuit Preparatory School, a breeding ground for Cuban politicos. Sanchez attended Miami High. Hernandez went to law school. Sanchez took courses at Miami-Dade Community College but never earned a degree. Hernandez's dad is a political power broker and Bay of Pigs veteran who was recently accused of illegal vote-brokering. Sanchez's dad is an apolitical retired truck driver who defected from Cuba in 1971.
Ex-commissioner Hernandez entered politics as a Miami assistant city attorney before being fired in 1994 for conducting private business on the job. Sanchez began far from Dinner Key, lobbying state legislators in Tallahassee on behalf of the Florida Police Benevolent Association in 1996 and 1997. That's where he met his chief of staff, 32-year-old Eileen Taulbee, who left Republican State Rep. Annie Betancourt to work for Sanchez. It was also at the state capital that he met and befriended former state representative, now Dade County commissioner, Bruno Barreiro. Those ties could serve him well in his new job.
When Sanchez decided to leave the Florida Highway Patrol in order to run for the state house seat Barreiro vacated in May, police union members offered to help manage his campaign. A veteran lobbyist, Bob Levy, also offered aid. But in the end, Sanchez decided he would rather be a city commissioner.
Sanchez doesn't recall exactly how he was nominated. "My name came up, and the next thing you know the ball was rolling," he says, trying to reconstruct events. "[City Commissioner] Willy Gort called me for a meeting because he was, I guess, interviewing everybody. And then it just started. I spoke to [Commissioner J.L.] Plummer. Maybe I said I was interested in that seat."
Sanchez wasn't everyone's first choice, though. At the June 5 meeting commissioners rejected retired Miami High School principal Diego Garcia and Miriam Alonso, Jr. -- who was defeated largely because of her Metro commissioner mother's Dinner Key enemies. Commissioner J.L. Plummer nominated Sanchez. On the fourth round of voting, the others agreed.
"Crime is the number-one issue everywhere," Gort says. Part of Sanchez's appeal, says Gort, is a close connection to the Roads, located southeast of Little Havana and north of Brickell Avenue. "He was raised in that neighborhood, he's been there all of his life, he knows the problems there."
Sanchez joins the ranks of other present and former cops in the commission chambers. Mayor Joe Carollo was once a police officer. Interim City Manager Donald Warshaw also holds the job of police chief. And Plummer has old ties to police organizations, including the Florida Highway Patrol Advisory Board.
But just where is this ex-trooper coming from politically? "I think he's coming from the expressways," jokes Commissioner Tomas Regalado. "I would like to think that he's a nice young man who's interested in politics, who's very hungry in terms of public service. I haven't seen anything to let me believe otherwise."
But some of Sanchez's neighbors in the Roads aren't so enthusiastic about the new commissioner. They accuse him of embracing corporate heavyweights who want to plop a huge new museum into the quaint neighborhood with homes dating back to the Twenties. The city commission recently ignored its planning advisory board and voted 4-1 to allow the construction of a new Miami Children's Museum next to the Vizcaya Metrorail station. Sanchez's support was pivotal, largely because he was president of the Miami-Roads Neighborhood Civic Association. "Every mountain has two sides," says Sanchez, reciting his favorite aphorism for confronting controversial issues. But he seems to have firmly planted himself on one side of this issue.
"His association doesn't represent us where we live," grumbles Roads resident Rosa Herrera. "We're on the corner across from where they're going to put that monstrosity. It doesn't fit and the neighborhood doesn't want it." Sanchez himself lives about a mile and a half from the museum site.
"Sanchez is a typical Dade County politician, meaning that he goes with the powers that be and not necessarily with the interests of the people," huffs Roads resident Richard Pleban, another museum opponent. "He used his title as president of the Roads Neighborhood Civic Association as his entry to the city commission."
Museum foes also contend that Sanchez has a conflict of interest regarding the museum, one of the largest public/private projects proposed in the city. His wife Betty is an accountant for Greenberg Traurig, the firm that represents museum backers. Sanchez insists the connection has nothing to do with his pro-museum stance. He says development near the Metrorail station is inevitable. "Besides," he adds, "it will be great for the kids."
Greenberg Traurig lawyer Lucia Dougherty met Sanchez a few months ago at a Miami Roads Neighborhood Civic Association meeting but didn't find out until later that Betty was his wife. She says there's no conflict. "I didn't even know he had a bent for politics at the time," Dougherty asserts. "I think he's got the looks for a politician, though," she adds.
Other Miamians are also suspicious of Sanchez's recent resignation from the highway patrol and decision to enter politics full-time. "He doesn't have a job and he's going to run for city commissioner, and he had been planning to run for Bruno Barreiro's seat?" ponders a Coconut Grove lawyer who frequents commission meetings but requested anonymity. "It scares me, because what it tells me is that he's getting money from somewhere else that we don't know about. And that's dangerous." City commissioners make $5000 a year. Sanchez says he's going to have to look for a job, though he's not sure what kind.
Sanchez insists he simply wants to help his community. "When you see my votes, you'll realize that I'm an independent guy," he promises. "I'm everybody's friend." As for whether he can be swayed by graft, Sanchez intones: "You have to remember who you represent. You represent the people."

But if things get too sticky at Dinner Key, Sanchez has a refuge at Dunkin' Donuts in Little Havana. Still morphing from cop to commissioner, he starts every morning at the doughnut joint, yapping about politics with compadres. The group has met for years at the greasy vinyl counter, and comprises young and old, powerful and powerless. Among the regulars: Miami Assistant Police Chief Raul Martinez. "I know where every Dunkin' Donuts is in the county," Sanchez jovially boasts. "I can't break away from that habit. A state trooper can't get away from a Dunkin' Donuts."
Manny Pacin, a regular at the Dunkin' Donuts sessions, hopes Sanchez will clean up city hall. "He's young, he's naive, but I think he can identify where trouble is and try to avoid it. He'll smarten up. He'll have to, to survive."
Others expect him to have a difficult time on Dinner Key. "How old are you?" talk show host Tomas Garcia Fuste asked the new commissioner recently. "Thirty-three," replied Sanchez with an angelic smile. Garcia Fuste cackled, "Oh. The same age as Christ." When he was crucified.

yay! :D
Indeed this is correct :)
It will be released when I finish it :)
The mod will hopefully be released on the Black Mesa workshop, however if there are limitations in doing so then it will be hosted externally. I will probably include an installer with it as well to make installation easy.
Haha I did not even see that!
Still very much a work in progress
Thanks for your feedback! :)
There is a dead scientist behind the first security jeep :)
Myself and one other person at the moment.
Maybe new voice acting and music, there are a few new props however the rest is Black Mesa content.
It will only be available to those with retail Black Mesa because of Xen.
Too bad :)
I will release this whether I care or not.
If I honestly lose so much interest in it (which I won't) then I will still release anyway...
Has been since the beginning?
Not dead!
Waiting for Xen release :)
I won't :)
Don't plan to!
Not dead

There are steps there
Not the same team, same mod.
there is still toxic water, it is just not as prominent from this angle.

"Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me," says Christ. "A society will be judged on the basis of how it treats its weakest members," said John Paul II.
But what does that mean we should, or may, do? I'm just one puny person, and it's hard enough to figure out what I should do by myself for the least of us. Just try to apply the notion to a society's collective obligations or powers and you confront far harder problems that drive the most fundamental divisions of our political philosophies. Consider the complication offered by C.S. Lewis, no stranger to Christ's words: "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
Clothing the naked and feeding the hungry is straightforward. Telling the most powerless of us what they can and cannot do for their own good is not.
I bring this up because every Friday the 13th my friend Maggie McNeill, a talented writer and an advocate for the rights and interests and autonomy of sex workers, asks people to write about the decriminalization of prostitution. I'm not writing a post arguing the case for the decriminalization of prostitution today. That's a complex argument beyond the modest scope of this post and deserving someone better educated on the subject. Instead, I offer three points that I think any such discussion must include. I offer these three points in the face of a bitter debate pitting people who think that sex work (by which I mean prostitution and pornography) is inherently coercive and dehumanizing against people who disagree and think that it ought not be prohibited by the state.
My first point is this: laws designed to help the weak must be judged by their outcomes, not their intentions. We may have moved beyond an era in which prostitution is outlawed primarily for moral reasons into an era in which it is outlawed primarily in an effort to save prostitutes from abuse. Yet criminalization "protects" prostitutes by repeatedly arresting and jailing them and by leaving them with precisely the sort of criminal record that makes it crushingly difficult to secure a job of which our society approves. Criminalization also "protects" prostitutes by giving police officers power over them — power that is routinely used to rape and torment. There is talk, now and again, of making pimps and johns the focus of criminalization, but the reality does not support that talk. Oft-cited statistics released by a Chicago police precinct revealed that 89% of prostitution arrests during a two-year period were of prostitutes, 10% were of customers, and less than 1% were of pimps. "The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering the prisons," said Fyodor Dostoevsky. Nobody who enters our jails or prisons is going to conclude that our society has a civilized approach to prostitutes, unless "it became necessary to destroy the village in order to save it" is a mark of civilization. Supporters of criminalization suggest that legalization or decriminalization will result in more abuse and suffering of sex workers. We need to ask: how is this different than the argument that scaling back the amoral and ruinous War on Drugs will lead to more suffering by addicts?
My second point is this: we must be wary of the government using our concern for the health and safety of sex workers as a broad excuse not just to prosecute them but to restrict everybody's rights. "Sex trafficking" is the latest example — a flexible and ill-defined term that the government wields like "terrorism" or "drug trafficking." Are human beings — both children and adults — transported and forced into sex work against their will? Yes. I watched my colleagues prosecute such cases — often involving smuggled South American immigrants — back in the 1990s. But "sex trafficking" has also become an airhorn issue, invoked as an unquestionable basis for government power. Law enforcement invokes it to demand that laws protecting web site owners be weakened — for the children. The government demands that charities parrot its position on sex trafficking to get funding. The NSA cites "human traffickers" to justify undermining internet encryption, the easier to read all our communications at will. It is no kindness to sex workers to sit idly by while an unprincipled government uses them as an excuse for unlimited power.
The third point is this: sex workers are human beings, individuals all, and should be treated accordingly. Yet we're encouraged to view them as abstractions and symbols of social evils. Many women (and men) who leave the sex trade describe their participation as coerced by violence and drugs. But you will also find sex workers who will say that sex work is their choice, and a valid one. What does it signify for society to reject their claim of autonomy? The typical rebuttal from supporters of criminalization is that sex workers cannot consent to their work — that their backgrounds, their circumstances, or society's biases force them into it. They don't say "false consciousness," but they might as well. Advocates of criminalization also point out that a large percentage of sex workers have a history of abuse or drug addiction. Yet they don't explain how that should deprive them of choice, and it seems wantonly cruel to use past abuse as a justification to subject sex workers to the system I describe in my first point, above.
In what other circumstances — other than, say, the War on Drugs — will we tell someone that for their own good we will not let them do something with their bodies because we disapprove of it? Is society's decision that we can say that to sex workers consistent with our other decisions, or principled, or is any part of it a relic of attitudes towards sex rather than attitudes towards coercion or free will?
It's a complicated question. My third point is mostly this: we cannot honestly or decently confront the question without confronting the people involved as human beings with their own views and beliefs. The best way to do that is to listen to what they have to say. There are current and former sex workers on both sides of the issue, and if you care about the issue, you should care about what they say. Read them. I think that if you are going to tell someone what they can or can't do for their own good, you ought to hear what they have to say about it, and look them in the eye when you tell them.

McNair places second
Aurora resident Ariel McNair is closing out an outstanding career of golf at Xavier University. She is a graduate of Walsh Jesuit High School.
In the recent Red Rocks Invitational at Oak Creek Country Club in Sedona, Calif., McNair tied for second place overall (72-70-142) as the Xavier women's team won the title with 588 strokes.
In 2013, McNair was named a youth golfer of the year by the African American Collegiate and Youth Golfers Hall of Fame, and was selected as an all-American scholar by the Women's Golf Coaches Association for posting a grade-point average above 3.5.
Spikers capture gold
Auroran Sydney McDowell was a member of the Ignite 14A Black volleyball team which won gold at the Ohio Nets tournament March 2 in Parma. The team is based out of Twinsburg.
Other members of the team are Adriana Gildone, Callia Hutchison, Emily Adams, Taylor Gilbert, Mary Marsh, Julia DiPaolo, Cassie Trykoff and Kara Schurman. The coach is Maggie Lombardi.
Competitive balance
plan vote set in Ohio
The Ohio High School Athletic Association's board of directors has unanimously approved a competitive balance proposal that makes modifications on how schools are placed in tournaments in team sports.
The plan, recommended to the board from the 27-member competitive balance committee, is similar to the proposal that member schools defeated last spring.
In addition to the size of a school's enrollment, new modifying factors may be applied to students on each roster on a sport-by-sport basis that are based on where the student's parents reside and/or the educational system history of the student. All schools will be subject to the new competitive balance formula, which will be applied to students in the sports of football, soccer and volleyball in the fall, basketball in the winter and baseball and softball in the spring.
This year's referendum voting by the 825 high school principals will take place May 1-15. If approved, it is anticipated the proposal will become effective for the 2016-17 school year.
"While the proposal is similar to last year's, the modified version is the result of a compilation of input from our superintendents, principals, athletic administrators and coaches," said OHSAA Commissioner Dan Ross.
"I believe the competitive balance committee has met its charge in that this proposal is not only reliable but also can be clearly applied and fairly administered for all member schools."

To the editor:
I audited Paul Mirecki's course "Religion 124: Understanding the Bible," so I have experienced his objectivity in the classroom and his encouragement of free discussion of the issues inevitably raised. It was a thoroughly researched course taught by an intelligent and competent scholar.
As a Kansas University classroom teacher of English literature for many years, I know how difficult it is to discuss questions generated by religious allusions, freely and without offense or discomfort, in a secular classroom. So I greatly admired Paul's presentation of the historical development of documents that came to be called the Bible.
The term "evolution" is almost unavoidable here because anyone who has studied the Bible, not merely quoted isolated stories and passages, knows that the work evolved over hundreds of years and was the product of many writers with varying agendas, however divinely inspired. That it began in myth, as does all speculation about human origins, cannot be overlooked by rational people and Christians today.

When to use what for self defense.
Suppose you have an AR-15, Glock 17, and a 7 shot remington 870.
Under what scenario would you be best off using the shotgun?
I was guessing its best use is against home intruders when you are inside the home. Some will argue the AR-15 is a better choice. However if the perpetrator is armed and you want to make sure the perpetrator cannot return fire after you shot him, I was thinking the shotgun with 00 buck was the best choice.
Any other scenario where you would be better off with the shotgun for defense?

Any self defense situation is a good time to have a shotgun. The practicality of toting one around wih you everywhere you go somewhat limits its use in every situation though. Just my $.02

Do you need to open any doors or use a light (not mounted to a weapon). That makes the long gun a little less viable.
The first thing I would grab would always be the closest. If I am awake it is the handgun I have on me, even at home. If I am in bed at night it is likely to be the 870 in the closet.
I do not have an AR. I would like one but certainly do not feel I need one to effectively protect my home and family.

Inside a structure at close quarter ranges, and in a defensive situation, my nod goes to the shotgun. Having shot patrol rifle, shotgun and pistol extensively, I believe you come up on target better and have a better chance of hitting your target with a shotgun due to the simplicity of the sight. The downside is there is an increased chance of strays hitting an innocent. For offensive manuevers and longer ranges (25 yards or more), there is no doubt that the rifle is the superior weapon, especially if equipped with a good optic such as an Aimpoint or an Eotech. Both are exponentially better than a sidearm for most circumstances. Of course, a pistol may be your only practical option so train with it as much as possible.

I have a 9mm on the nite stand and a short barrell 12 gauge mounted behind the head board.
the shotgun would be my choice if someone made it back as far as the bedroom. the 9mm is for hunting down that "bump in the nite" in the rest of the house.

My .02cents it would have to depend on the situation my sons room is directly across from mine so i would want to be shooting towards that direction with a 12 gauge or anything for that matter but i would more than likley use my handgun less chance of blowthrough and it keeps a tighter group so i can place my rounds where they need to be insted of blasting the hell out the way behind him... not knocking the shotgun just my .02

Shotgun: inside the house (with in 25 yards) defense
AR/AK type rifle: longer range (100-400 yards) SHTF or multiple intruders?
Pistol: secondary - or if it's the closest thing you can get to.
All above options are better than nothing!

I don't know who said this, but I think it sounds good.
Pistol...keeps the BG off your body.
Shotgun...keeps the Bg out of your house.
Rifle...keeps the BG off your property

The shotgun is good for close range shooting. With 00 buck, once you get out beyond 15 to 20 yards the shot will begin to start to pattern pretty wide. Beyond 25 yards most of your buckshot could be off the silhouette target. You need to test your shotgun and choice of buckshot/slugs at different distances to see how they pattern and how you have to aim to get them to print on the target. At 100 yards, with slugs, most of us were aiming completely off the target and down low to the right of it to get a hit on it. Other slug options could vary requiring different points of aim. But, for close range work like across the room's length, 00 buck will probably work well. So if I were deciding which to use it would be the shotgun first, followed by the handgun with the rifle last. If you manage to force them back, you'll need that rifle for the last, longer distance shots.

Others have said it, and I concur, Handgun to hunt the "bump in the night", Shotgun to keep the nefarious felon out of the bedroom and the rifle to keep him a distance away.
Here's my personal SD Distances, not saying I can't or won't shoot further, this is just what I consider the best "optimal" distances.
0-7 Yards: Handgun (Very Likely)
7-25 Yards: Shotgun (More Likely At Closer Ranges)
25-100 Yards: Rifle (Not Very Likely)

Get family to "safe room" ASAP if you can. Take a defensive position within that room with weapon of choice. (mine would be a SxS double barrel). Call 911 if possible and let LE know your present location within the structure. Do not leave that position until LE arrives. If intruder is ID'd as a threat by invading your safe room, fire until the threat no longer exists. Pray to God that you didn't kill an innocent person. Thank God that you and your family are safe. Be prepared for the impending investigations, second guessing, possible criminal prosecution, and civil law suits that may follow. Remember that if you are alive with a safe family you did what you had to and leave it up to Gods judgement of your action, no matter how badly it may turn in the aftermath.

The handgun gets the call for concealed carry, when I must investigate a strange noise on the deck or in the driveway but which have no been confirmed to be hostile, and those instances (God forbid) that an intruder is basically on top of me before I awake.
The rifle gets the call for pretty much anything else, unless I am attacked en masse by a group of ravaging pigeons.

A Shotgun?
Inside the house for close defence, when you have a lone target and you are in danger!
A Pistol would always be closest to me, on the table next to my bed. I would use that if I were in imminent [Like someone had just walked into my bedroom type thing brandishing a gun...] danger [And the law allowed me...].
An AK-47 would truly be my last resort. Because of the power of that Baby... Because of the way my current residence is built if I had an AK-47 I would be fairly bloody careful it didn't kill anyone in my house...
But come on... All I think for a burglar would just be the sight of one...
Is that the door I hear slamming?

Any of them are quite legit if you know how to use them and they are available. It's really a nonissue except if you want to posit extreme scenarios.

Have you trained and practiced with each or is it just the usual stopping power discussion?

you need to consider what your house design is and neighbors. while an ar is an excellent weapon it will go thru a couple houses if you miss. also you dont want to be sticking a long barrel around corners as its a dead giveaway your coming and an awesome lever for someone to grab on to in an effort to disarm you. ofcourse training and common sense mitigates these issues.
i personally think a shot gun or hand gun are the best choices. its a toss up between the two. one is more precise the other more forgiving.
the best is a 12 inch shotgun. sure you need to get an aow stamp but its powerful forgiving and can be maneuvered around easily.

How About a BB Gun?
I've been lurking and doing some posting on TFL for some time and I am just amazed at all of the postings about penetration and killing or wounding friendlies. Then I read all the posts about how most people can't hit a bad guy at 7 yards when shooting at him. Here's my question. Should we just aim at our kids bedroom and then we might just hit the guy we want to? If you think that you can't drop a bad guy with a round heavy enough to stop him because you are worrying about possibly hitting a family member or neighbor, use a knife or invest in a state of the art home security system and don't waste your money on guns and ammo. When you commit to using firearms there is always a chance of someone getting hurt or killed that you didn't intend. IF YOU ARE SO WORRIED ABOUT THIS TYPE OF ACCIDENT, DON'T USE A GUN.

FACT: The 5.56mm penetrates less interior walls than most handgun rounds due to the high velocity and fragmentary characteristics of the round.
I am constantly amazed at how many people will complain about the barrel length and handling characteristics of a carbine rifle, then recommend a shotgun. The legal minimum length for a rifle barrel without a permit is 16 inches, compared to 18 inches for a shotgun. And it only takes a little training to mitigate most weapon retention issues. Overall, the advantages a rifle has over a handgun (and IMO, a shotgun) much outweigh the disadvantages.

However. If I have to light an intruder up, much less in MY OWN HOME, I want the best tool for the job. Yeah, M4's have replaced the combat shotgun on all fronts, but still ,when each shot has to matter, my shot is low recoil 00 Buck. There is just no disputing the stopping power, within HD ranges. I just feel better stacking the deck in my favor.
I also plan for the local m.o. That is a violent entry of multiple armed assailants. You could likely have to engage two, maybe more, criminals before they flee. Almost always this is just punks looking to head up on their supplier or dealer, probably the occasional rich folks in a nice home. My home is the 16th most dangerous city in the US (and all violent crime, property crime is below average), good deal of murders go down 2 miles down the road (between home and work) and while that makes me a more likely random target, lifestyle choices that avoid trouble and BG interaction allow me to feel safe in my own home. But you can never be too careful. i have to think though, those crack dealers and whatnot, while lacking any gunfighting skills (they do know how to pick out the iron though, .223s and SKSs are pretty popular with BGs here,apparently, they turn up in raids regularly), they have an advantage in staying sharp-the realistic expectation that people could bust in and start shooting. If not, even having already experienced shooting someone, that subconcious question or hesitation gone. And these are the people we'll be dealing with! This is why I trained in scenario terms. Visualise something, most likely situations, and work out the best way to address them, then repeat several times. Hoping it will help reaction and efficiency, and buy time if I go on autopilot. Revert to what I practiced, so I keep it simple and practical. I have always been interested in the mindset aspect too, studied great gunfighters (and other combatants too) throughout history trying to find something that might help me survive in that situation. A loved one could be counting on that one day.
I live alone and am perfectly fine answering a pounding/screaming at the door in the middle of the night with a 12 gauge, or a window being messed with... Something that out of the ordinary is cause to roll out and have ready the artillery.
A shotgun should at least be kept to fortify a safe-room. Even a 20 gauge is not a huge compromise.
The Carbine is a good choice too, and IMO better than a handgun anytime you have the time or opportunity, and elbowspace to use one. Handguns have traditionally been the close quarter gun. History, well common sense in fact, shows that the rifle (and SG) is the superior fight stopper. More power. Better hit probability, hell, accuracy potential. More control. I am not blowing off handguns nor consider them no good for anything but carry and backup. A fine tuned 1911 (or other fine shooting SA, or a striker, or TDA) is IMO a fine choice of a HD weapon on it's own, if you are satisfied with the limited power a handgun can offer, and you trust your skills with it. I don't feel comfortable with either.
I used to use a Mini 14 with 18x 40 gr. JHPs/unchambered as my first resort HD weapon, though the Mossberg and .45 were loaded too. I was concerned with overpenetration, as I then lived at home with my parents and the threat would likely come from the direction of their room.
I wouldn't use that load today. They may virtually explode but they're still just 40 grains. .223 is the heaviest I'd go indoors whether in a cabin or thin walled tentament. Many cannot understand a handgun cal. carbine which is understandable. But the mildness of this setup is a big advantage in weapon control, no giant muzzle flash or ear splitting report to further disorient you in a fight or flight altered reality, no getting rocked momentarily by a 12 gauge recoilling. Sort of a .22 with real punch on the muzzle end. For the portability you give up, vs. the same round in a pistol or revolver, you get something that increases the power of the shot, and the chance it will go where you want.
I would use the handgun, as a backup (tucked in when I go for the shotgun), to replace a dry or jammed primary, or pull if a disarm was going on. In the event it would be faster access (meet the threat ASAP with whatever you have adequate). Or, having one handy when I walk into the house after work, or later at night. Carrying at home sounds more and more like a good idea.
I just know I for one will have a lot better of a chance if using a rifle or shotgun. Could be from training more with them, but... say a 25,30 yard target. That's cake for anyone with a M4 or 870. Same target, no stress, the results will be a lot different using your best pistol. Does this apply to HD, those ranges? I think so, just pointing out the more inherent 'hitting potential', magnified under stress. Headshots with a carbine are not the likely miss that they are to many pistoleers fighting for their life (Just a point, COM is the way to go). People don't miss as much with long guns, they're just a lot easier to use effectively. And when they strike the target, more likely gets the results you need. To me those are definate advantages that matter, and take priority.
What works for me, and why, no advisory intended

Damage from shotgun blasts is not covered in your homeowner's policy.
My son has handloaded the new Barnes Varmint Grenade bullet in .223 for use in his AR-15. These bullets cause very wicked wounds.
I would just rely on my Glock 17. But I have a shotgun available for backup, loaded with copper plated BB shells.

I know I will get hammered for this, but here goes:
I have a P-22 with a silencer and a laser ( sighted in at 7 meters/21 feet, for home defence 6 feet is the best).
The laser eliminates the need for light (open sights need light), and puts the fear of God in most bad guys that have ever watched TV.
You can also aim over an obstical, while looking around/under the obstical. This hides/shifts your positon by a few feet.
The silencer (Ase Utra) will prevent damage to you and your loved ones hearing and prevent trauma for the younger ones.
I know that saving your life is more important than your hearing, but why not?
Another positive about using a silencer is that family members, that are not used to firing a gun in close quarters (Who is), can also fire in self defence, without loosing consertration due to decible overload.
For some reason you dont want the neighbors to call 911 before you do a silencer is a VERY good idea!
The choice of caliber is up for grabs! Of course a 9mm., .45, 12 gauge or a .357 will destroy tissue (I have them all) in a manner that we all want to see an intruder suffer. But the recoil and blast is way to much for a non military/police person, in a life and death to fire with any amount of accuracy.
But a .22 is "controllable" AND I think most crack heads would change there mind after a couple of shots in the face.
Shots to the head(Target= 15 inches wide at 6 feet) orifices(eyes, sinus and mouth) will cause enough damage to deter most any assailant.
But now my family and I live in a place where my guns are locked away, and my doors are unlocked most of the time
Now Hammer me!
...and I´ll wip out my little .22..

1- it is the only firearm you have in a life threatening situation.

Fortunately I'm one who has never had to kill someone but I know what I can shoot. I'm a good sized guy at 6'2" and around 200#'s. My 'go to' gun is a 9mm full of Black Talons. Why? Because I can control it better than a 1911 or .44 Mag. which have too much muzzle jump for follow up rounds.
13 rds. accurately placed or maybe one or two from a hand cannon, the choice is yours.
