One of the great joys (and frustrations) of the internet is the sheer lawlessness of it all. On the one hand, you can find a first-hand account by the physician who attended to Abraham Lincoln in the moments after he was shot. Or, quicker than you can say Google you can immerse yourself one man's misspent youth over at emotioneric.com.
And of course, there are all kinds of other outrage and profanity available in any flavour you care to mention, although you might want to keep it away from the kiddies. Anyone with Apple TV and YouTube savvy youngsters knows what this means.
Now, it appears that some of the sectors' biggest names have set out on a mission to impose order and "safety" upon the Web in what <i>Techcrunch</i> labels the 'war against the internet's stupidity'.
For instance, Twitter has launched Tailored Trends while Sean Parker's new Airtime includes Airtime Safety Net.
App centre and stores like those managed by Facebook and Apple likewise provide a measure of control, or at least the opportunity for commercial filtering and accountability.
Techcrunch, however, asks the obvious question: "Can we make the internet smarter and safer with without whitewashing away differing opinions and locking ourselves in an echo chamber?"
Actually, the article makes a good point about Twitter's approach in particular: "Twitter's re-written Trending Topics algorithm called Tailored Trends is especially clever because it doesn't directly discourage stupidity, it just funnels it back to people who find dumb things entertaining. Now rather than seeing just the most popular terms and hash tags in your area, you see Trending Topics based on who you follow. So you'll only see horrible trends like '#UnusualNamesForWhiteGirls' or '#ReplaceBandNamesWithRape' if you follow people that tweet them. Everyone else will get trending topics that don't make us embarrassed to be human."
One for the Fan Boys
Mashable provides a quick first look at Apple's new IOS 6, which, while currently available to developers, will not reach the grasping little clutches of the rest of us until at least Q3 this year.
And Mashable's verdict: "The first beta is remarkably stable and the new features are welcome. Still, as with all OS releases, the most interesting bits are usually what happens on the backend and not the flashiest user-facing features.... Third-party apps are what define modern smartphones and tablets and in that respect, Apple remains the platform of choice for developers. With iOS 6, it looks like developers will have even more options to create great apps for users."
The review looks at a range of issues including the topic currently attracting the most excitement — mapping. But there's also some commentary on Facebook integration, Siri, Mail and photo sharing. And in fairness to Mashable you should read its insights on its site.
Changing expectations
Finally, for Facebook watchers, Bill Keller has an opinion piece over at the NY Times (free last time I looked) about changing perceptions of Facebook. "What's the difference between the billionaire media mogul Mark Zuckerberg and the billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch?" I asked a tech-writer friend in an email. My friend emailed back: "When Rupert invades your privacy, it's against the law. When Mark does, it's the future."
The subtext to the joke is that we have all been willing to cut Zuckerberg a lot more slack than we would Rupert Murdoch. Then again, Zuckerberg's staff never hacked the phone of a murdered school to sell a few lousy newspapers.
The point of the story is that as Facebook grows out of its adolescent phase, its users are expecting something more mature of it.
As Keller noted, "Somewhere on his way from Harvard geek to Silicon Valley titan, Mark Zuckerberg adopted an ideology of 'radical transparency'. He is getting what must be an uncomfortable dose of that now."

Elmer's Candy

Elmer Cotton Candy Marshmallow Eggs
Elmer Chocolate has been making candy since 1855. They're based in Louisiana, but I usually only see their candy in California around Valentine's Day as they have some very popular boxed chocolate assortments that are sold at drug stores and discounters all over the counter. However, they do make some insanely popular Easter products that seem much harder to find: Heavenly Hash Eggs and Gold Brick Eggs.
I was surprised to see these Cotton Candy Marshmallow Eggs at Cost Plus World Market instead of those more well known eggs, but at $1.49 and for something that was a little different from the traditional Easter fare, I was willing to take the plunge.
The packaging is simple, a very light plastic try has four sections to hold the domed marshmallow eggs. It does its job, as they were all pretty much flawless right out of the wrapper.
Each piece is rather small, they're .45 ounces each. They're about 2 inches long. They smell sweet, a little like cherry and milky chocolate. They're a "light" candy, in that they're not caloricly dense, so you can eat the whole package and it's only 190 calories (105 per ounce).
I can't really put my finger on what went wrong with these. The chocolate is passable, thought sweet is does a nice job of sealing in the soft, moist marshmallow. The marshmallow itself, well, it's filled with bad air. It's probably one of those flavors that not everyone can detect (like the fact that Red 40 tastes bitter to me and very few other people). It tastes like molten plastic. Styrofoam. It tastes like new Crocs. It's not the marshmallow itself, as far as I can tell, it's not the packaging ... it's the stuff that was whipped into it.
It's a great idea, to have a softly strawberry flavored marshmallow center. But in this case, I can't recommend it. Everything I saw at the Cost Plus looks like it's from the same case so would probably have the same issue. I haven't seen them at any other store. I did try their Toasted Marshmallow Eggs a few years ago and didn't note this issue.
My big question to you, readers, is this: Do you taste this kind of stuff? I notice similar problems at times with whipped items, like meringues or marshmallows. But other candies that have delicate flavors can also take on this plastic note (especially ones without a strong flavor of their own).
Does anyone else notice this from time to time? Do you know what it is? (Is it dangerous?)
UPDATE: As some here have noted and an inside source in the confectionery industry as also pointed out, it is likely from the packaging. The tray is likely polystyrene and it outgasses ... delicate and airy confections like marshmallows can easily absorb that "flavor". Styrene is not a healthy item to consume, though in a seasonal treat in this small quantity is likely to be trivial. But it still doesn't taste good.

Elmer's Dark Chocolate Heavenly Hash & Gold Brick Eggs
A few years ago, after trying a petite box of Valentine's chocolates from Elmer's Candy Company I decided to track down their two most famous products: Heavenly Hash Egg and Gold Brick Egg. Oddly enough last week I was contacted by Elmer's as they were promoting their new introduction, a dark chocolate version of both of the flagship products (can there be two flagships?).
I requested that they send along some of the original, as I'd tried very hard to find them in my area and they had no webstore. Sadly, they didn't include them so this review today is in a bit of a vacuum.
The packaging is rather bold, a black background with a fluffy blue and white cloud for the logo & description. (It does look like it belongs with the Hot Tamales Licorice Jelly Beans from yesterday's review.)
The Dark Chocolate Heavenly Hash Egg is rich dark chocolate, tender marshmallow and roasted almonds. This is a pretty big egg, clocking in at 1.33 ounces. I'm guessing these are sold individually like the Russell Stover eggs are, though mine arrived in a tray of six. For reference the Toasted Marshmallow Eggs I tried a couple of weeks ago were just .75 ounces each.
The eggs are pretty big, though each was a little different ranging from 3.5 to 3.75 inches long and about 2 inches at the widest.
From the description, I assumed that the almonds would be crushed bits mixed in with the marshmallow. I don't know why that was what I was expecting, but when I saw the candy out of the package, I thought it was really lovely. A marshmallow plank with four or five little lumps (almonds) covered in rippled and shiny dark chocolate.
The chocolate has a nice snap to it and adheres to the marshmallow well, I didn't have any issue with flaking. The almonds, when encountered, provide a crisp crunch. They're well roasted, most I came across had a good toasted flavor. And it was pretty easy to plan my bites so as to get some almond in each one.
The marshmallow is sweet and moist, but it's a bit soft and forms little peaks when I bite it. (Vastly different from the Pete's Gourmet, as you can imagine.)
There's very little flavor to the marshmallow, though every once in a while I got a bit of a honey note from it (though none is listed in the ingredients).
The dark chocolate isn't complex but is definitely less sweet than the milk chocolate from the Toasted Marshmallow Eggs, which is definitely a plus. However, since I still had a Toasted egg left, I tried one and much preferred the cotton candy flavor of that center to the rather plain Heavenly Hash. In the end, the textures and overall execution is much better with the Heavenly Hash.
Rating: 7 out of 10
The original Elmer's Gold Brick candy bar was introduced in 1936. It was priced at ten cents, twice the regular price for a bar at that time. Now they're sold as an egg during Easter.
The Dark Chocolate Gold Brick Egg package describes it simply as dark chocolate covered pecan melt-a-way.
The wrapper is similarly bold & dark, a black background with a bright yellow egg holding the logo.
It clocks in a bit lighter than the Heavenly Hash, at only 1 ounce instead of 1.33 ounces (which was also far bigger because it had fluffy center).
This piece consists of a molded center, which is the melt-a-way which is then enrobed. Some of mine had big puddly feet, but the one I chose to photograph was more crisp looking.
There's a slight rippling on the enrobing. They smell sweet, but a little more like fudge or hot cocoa than chocolate. It didn't seem promising. Neither did the ingredients. It went like this: sugar, dark chocolate, partially hydrogenated palm kernel oil, pecans, chocolate, skim milk ... and so on to list the less than 2 percent ingredients.
I had to nibble away pretty far on the one in the picture to make sure I got a pecan in there. (I did eat some pecans along the way, just no cross sections.)
Instead of a soft and melty melt-a-way, what I had here was more of a waxy and fudgy center. The texture wasn't quite crumbly, but it certainly didn't have that mouthfeel of even some candies made with tropical oils (coconut oil is good for that).
The flavor is rather empty, a bit like cocoa but not at all like deep, rich chocolate. There were a few pecan pieces, but they only provided some scant texture and not much on the flavor front.
Rating: 4 out of 10
I'm interested to taste the original Heavenly Hash, but have no interest in the Gold Brick. But they do have something called a Gold Brick Malt Egg that seems to be tempting me against my better judgment.

Elmer's Toasted Marshmallow Eggs
Elmer's Candy Corp is a very popular and inexpensive brand of boxed chocolates from Louisiana. More recently I've been seeing their Valentine's heart assortments at drug stores and discount chains. For the price I've found their candies to be a decent value.
I also knew that they did Easter candies, though this was the first year I saw them at my stores here on the West Coast. The most famous products are their Gold Brick and Heavenly Hash Eggs, which are still devilishly out of reach.
What I did find at the Rite Aid was Chocolate Covered Toasted Marshmallow Eggs
The candies are sold in a tray of six individually wrapped chocolate marshmallow eggs.
The cartoon rabbits on the package are the product of Jim Benton, part of the It's Happy Bunny (tm) series. (Official website here.)
Inside the tray the little packages come in either pink or powder blue mylar and have a different saying on them:
Each little marshmallow is about two and a half inches long.
They're quite nice looking, especially for the price (I got my tray on sale for $1.50). The chocolate ripples on the top and for the most part they were in good shape. A few were cracked, but the marshmallow just seemed to seal any fissures. I was afraid they'd be like the Melster ones I got a couple of years ago, but the ingredients here looked decent. More importantly, these smelled sweet and toasty.
The marshmallow here is rather like what you'd get if you just toasted a real marshmallow, it's very soft, almost runny. The chocolate shell is soft as well, but at least it doesn't flake off. The marshmallow center has a strong single note vanilla flavor (like fake vanilla extract) but then there's a second component that's a little toasted sugar flavor.
The very soft texture of the marshmallow is a little different from other more foamy Easter concoctions, but it's very smooth (no grain). I ate half of the candies in the package and was overall pleased with them but ultimately they're too sweet for me to just eat without something to balance it. The little bunnies and their quips on the package was a nice change and would be a fun item to give to friends or pop in your kid's lunch box. Each egg is about 80 calories.

Elmer's Chocolate
I wasn't particularly looking forward to this review. Sera, a longtime reader and sweet photographer, suggested when I mentioned the All Valentines Week that I should get a hold of these boxed chocolates from Elmer's.
I'd never heard of Elmer's before. But when I went into the store, I found it even more shocking that I didn't know who they were, because the stores are just filled to the gills with their heart shaped boxes of chocolates.
Most are on the small side, as this four piece box was, which pleased me that I didn't need to buy a huge box. The design on the boxes is also rather, um, traditional. Some have pictures of puppies or kittens but most have roses or flowers of some sort.
After bringing the box home I was curious what was inside but I didn't want to dig right in. So I asked the internets. What I found out was rather interesting. Elmer's Chocolate only makes five chocolates for their mixed boxes: creamy caramel, chocolate truffle, chocolate fudge, strawberry cream and orange cream.
Milk Chocolate Rectangle is Orange Creme which is a tangy cross between Aspergum and a chocolate covered creamsicle.
Round Milk Chocolate is Soft Caramel - kind of milky tasting, a little salty, a bit creamy and offsets the far too sweet and grainy chocolate very well.
Dark Chocolate Rectangle is Orange Creme - okay, maybe this was strawberry, because it was more pink than orange, but it didn't taste that way.
Milk Chocolate Square is Chocolate Fudge - sweet, not terribly chocolatey but a pretty smooth and pleasing texture.
Overall, I wasn't pleased enough with the intensity of the flavors or the quality of the chocolate to want to buy these on sale next week after the holiday is over. But I was pleased enough to now want to try the Heavenly Hash and Gold Brick eggs for Easter as those seem to be the items that made the company famous. I guess when you consider that the box of chocolates is less expensive than a greeting card, it's probably not a bad way to go as a small token.
On a side note, while exploring the internet in search of info about Elmer's Candy, I noticed that their website had a copyright notice of 2003, the most recent press release (well only one) posted was from 2002. Their motto on the website is "The Freshest Ideas in Seasonal Candy" ... uh, yeah. Of course they also say that they're the oldest family run candy business in the US (since 1855).
Other Notes: this box contains 1.5 grams of trans fat.

|Intracranial aneurysm
An intracranial aneurysm (also called cerebral or brain aneurysm) is a cerebrovascular disorder in which weakness in the wall of a cerebral artery or vein causes a localized dilation or ballooning of the blood vessel.
Aneurysms in the posterior circulation (basilar, vertebral and posterior communicating arteries) have a higher risk of rupture. Basilar artery aneurysms represent only 3%-5% of all intracranial aneurysms but are the most common aneurysms in the posterior circulation.

Cerebral aneurysms are classified both by size and shape. Small aneurysms have a diameter of less than 15 mm. Larger aneurysms include those classified as large (15 to 25 mm), giant (25 to 50 mm), and super-giant (over 50 mm).[1]
Saccular aneurysms
Saccular aneurysms, also known as berry aneurysms, appear as a round outpouching and are the most common form of cerebral aneurysm.[1][2]
Fusiform aneurysms
Fusiform dolichoectatic aneurysms represent a widening of a segment of an artery around the entire blood vessel, rather than just arising from a side of an artery's wall. They can rupture but usually do not.
Microaneurysms, also known as Charcot-Bouchard aneurysms, typically occur in small blood vessels (less than 300 micrometre diameter), most often the lenticulostriate vessels of the basal ganglia, and are associated with chronic hypertension.[3] Charcot–Bouchard aneurysms are a common cause of intracranial hemorrhage.
Signs and symptoms
A small, unchanging aneurysm will produce few, if any, symptoms. Before a larger aneurysm ruptures, the individual may experience such symptoms as a sudden and unusually severe headache, nausea, vision impairment, vomiting, and loss of consciousness, or the individual may be asymptomatic (i.e., experiencing no symptoms at all).[4]
Subarachnoid haemorrhage
If an aneurysm ruptures, blood leaks into the space around the brain. This is called a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Onset is usually sudden with no prodrome, classically presenting as a "thunderclap headache" worse than previous headaches.[5][6] Symptoms of a subarachnoid hemorrhage differ depending on the site and size of the aneurysm.[6] Symptoms of a ruptured aneurysm can include:
- a sudden severe headache that can last from several hours to days
- nausea and vomiting
- drowsiness, confusion and/or loss of consciousness
- visual abnormalities
- meningism
The risk of a subarachnoid hemorrhage is greater with a saccular aneurysm than a fusiform aneurysm.[citation needed]
A ruptured microaneurysm may cause an intracerebral hemorrhage, presenting as a focal neurological deficit.[6]
Rebleeding, hydrocephalus (the excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid), vasospasm (spasm, or narrowing, of the blood vessels), or multiple aneurysms may also occur. The risk of rupture from an unruptured cerebral aneurysm varies according to the size of an aneurysm, with the risk rising as the aneurysm size increases.
Risk factors
Intracranial aneurysms may result from diseases acquired during life, or from genetic conditions. Lifestyle diseases including hypertension, smoking, excess alcohol consumption, and obesity are associated with the development of aneurysms.[5][6][7] Cocaine use has also been associated with the development of intracranial aneurysms.[6]
Other acquired associations with intracranial aneurysms include head trauma and infections.[5]
Genetic associations
Coarctation of the aorta is also a known risk factor,[5] as is arteriovenous malformation.[8] Genetic conditions associated with connective tissue disease may also be associated with the development of aneurysms.[5] This includes:[9]
- autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease,
- neurofibromatosis type I,
- Marfan syndrome,
- multiple endocrine neoplasia type I,
- pseudoxanthoma elasticum,
- hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia and
- Ehlers-Danlos syndrome types II and IV.
Specific genes have also had reported association with the development of intracranial aneurysms, including perlecan, elastin, collagen type 1 A2, endothelial nitric oxide synthase, endothelin receptor A and cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor. Mutations in interleukin 6 may be protective.[citation needed]. Recently, several genetic loci have been identified as relevant to the development of intracranial aneurysms. These include 1p34-36, 2p14-15, 7q11, 11q25, and 19q13.1-13.3.[10]
Aneurysm means an outpouching of a blood vessel wall that is filled with blood. Aneurysms occur at a point of weakness in the vessel wall. This can be because of acquired disease or hereditary factors. The repeated trauma of blood flow against the vessel wall presses against the point of weakness and causes the aneurysm to enlarge.[11] As described by the Law of Young-Laplace, the increasing area increases tension against the aneurysmal walls, leading to enlargement.
Saccular aneurysms
Saccular aneurysms are almost always the result of hereditary weakness in blood vessels and typically occur within the arteries of the Circle of Willis,[11][12] in order of frequency affecting the following arteries:[13]
- Anterior communicating artery
- Posterior communicating artery
- Middle cerebral artery
- Internal carotid artery
- Tip of basilar artery
Saccular aneurysms tend to have a lack of tunica media and elastic lamina around its dilated location (congenital), with wall of sac made up of thickened hyalinized intima and adventitia.[8] In addition, some parts of the brain vasculature are inherently weak—particularly areas along the Circle of Willis, where small communicating vessels link the main cerebral vessels. These areas are particularly susceptible to saccular aneurysms.[5] Approximately 25% of patients have multiple aneurysms, predominantly when there is familial pattern.[6]
Almost all aneurysms rupture at their apex. This leads to hemorrhage in the subarachnoid space and sometimes in brain parenchyma. Minor leakage from aneurysm may precede rupture, causing warning headaches. About 60% of patients die immediately after rupture.[8] Larger aneurysms have a greater tendency to rupture, though most ruptured aneurysms are less than 10 mm in diameter.[6]
Vasospasm, referring to blood vessel constriction, can occur secondary to subarachnoid hemorrhage following a ruptured aneurysm. This is most likely to occur within 21 days and is seen radiologically within 60% of such patients. The vasospasm is thought to be secondary to the apoptosis of inflammatory cells such as macrophages and neutrophils that become trapped in the subarachnoid space. These cells initially invade the subarachnoid space from the circulation in order to phagocytose the hemorrhaged red blood cells. Following apoptosis, it is thought there is a massive degranulation of vasoconstrictors, including endothelins and free radicals, that cause the vasospasm.[14]
Once suspected, intracranial aneurysms can be diagnosed using angiography, magnetic resonance imaging, CT scans, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis.[citation needed]
Most cerebral aneurysms are unobserved until they have already ruptured. Diagnostic tests can be used to detect if an aneurysm has or will rupture. Tests are usually required after a subarachnoid hemorrhage, to confirm the presence of an aneurysm. CSF usually shows presence of blood.[citation needed]
Emergency treatment for individuals with a ruptured cerebral aneurysm generally includes restoring deteriorating respiration and reducing intracranial pressure. Currently there are two treatment options for securing intracranial aneurysms: surgical clipping or endovascular coiling . If possible, either surgical clipping or endovascular coiling is usually performed within the first 24 hours after bleeding to occlude the ruptured aneurysm and reduce the risk of rebleeding.
While a large meta-analysis found the outcomes and risks of surgical clipping and endovascular coiling to be statistically similar, no consensus has been reached.[15] In particular, the large randomised control trial International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial appears to indicate a higher rate of recurrence when intracerebral aneurysms are treated using endovascular coiling. Analysis of data from this trial has indicated a 7% lower eight-year mortality rate with coiling,[16] a high rate of aneurysm recurrence in aneurysms treated with coiling—from 28.6-33.6% within a year,[17][18] a 6.9 times greater rate of late retreatment for coiled aneurysms,[19] and a rate of rebleeding 8 times higher than surgically-clipped aneurysms.[20]
Surgical clipping
Aneurysms can be treated by clipping the base of the aneurysm with a specially-designed clip. Whilst this is typically carried out by craniotomy, a new endoscopic endonasal approach is being trialled.[21] Surgical clipping was introduced by Walter Dandy of the Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1937 [22] After clipping, a catheter angiogram or CTA can be performed to confirm complete clipping.[23]
Endovascular coiling
Endovascular coiling refers to the insertion of platinum coils into the aneurysm. A catheter is inserted into a blood vessel, typically the femoral artery, and passed through blood vessels into the cerebral circulation and the aneurysm. Coils are pushed into the aneurysm, or released into the blood stream ahead of the aneurysm. Upon depositing within the aneurysm, the coils expand and initiate a thrombotic reaction within the aneurysm. If successful, this prevents further bleeding from the aneurysm.[24] In the case of broad-based aneurysms, a stent may be passed first into the parent artery to serve as a scaffold for the coils.[citation needed]
Cerebral bypass surgery
Cerebral bypass surgery was developed in the 1960s in Switzerland by Gazi Yasargil, M.D. When a patient has an aneurysm involving a blood vessel or a tumor at the base of the skull wrapping around a blood vessel, surgeons eliminate the problem vessel by replacing it with an artery from another part of the body.[25]
The prognosis for a patient with a ruptured cerebral aneurysm depends on the extent and location of the aneurysm, the person's age, general health, and neurological condition. Some individuals with a ruptured cerebral aneurysm die from the initial bleeding. Other individuals with cerebral aneurysm recover with little or no neurological deficit. The most significant factors in determining outcome are the Hunt and Hess grade, and age. Generally patients with Hunt and Hess grade I and II hemorrhage on admission to the emergency room and patients who are younger within the typical age range of vulnerability can anticipate a good outcome, without death or permanent disability. Older patients and those with poorer Hunt and Hess grades on admission have a poor prognosis. Generally, about two-thirds of patients have a poor outcome, death, or permanent disability.[11][26][27]
The incidence of intracranial aneurysm is 1 per 10,000 persons in the United States (approximately 27,000 cases a year), with incidence highest in 30- to 60-year-olds.[4][11] Intracranial aneurysms occur more in women, by a ratio of 3 to 2, and are rarely seen in pediatric populations.[4][7]

Discovering the California Gold Country with Kids
One thing I love about trip planning is finding the unexpected. While researching my first vacation to Yosemite with kids this past summer, I discovered California's Gold Country. It's the region made famous by the California Gold Rush which began in 1848 with the discovery of gold in Sutter's Mill and lured thousands of fortune seekers west to California.
The area is a California gem; rarely do you find an off-the-beaten-path destination that has so much to offer in terms of historical significance, culinary diversions and active adventures.


text: When Rich Bishop recently took over as head coach of Augusta High School's volleyball team, he wanted to build on what Heidi Dreiling did when she was coach. Bishop wants to create a program, not just coach a team. "The important thing to remember is that Heidi got the volleyball program headed in the right direction," Bishop said. "She instilled that we can compete by increasing our intensity and tenacity. One of the things I am trying to get started is to have a 'program' not just a season." For Bishop that means starting a club volleyball team here in Augusta. And club coaching the middle school players. He even plans to start an intramural program in the fall. "The main objective is exciting all players as to what possiblities are out there for them," he said. Bishop plans to have the Cowley County Community College team, the 2011 NJCAA champions and perennial powerhouse, come to help with the Augusta summer camp. He's also got the players working out with weights and agilities during the summer with the football coaches and new girls basketball coach Tracy Anderson. There's even a volleyball tournament scheduled for June 26 at Circle High School. Bishop got started in volleyball after his oldest daughter Erin was selected to play on a high-level club team in the early '90s. "I used to take her to practice every day in Wichita. Well rather than just sit there, I began participating and learning the game," Bishop said. Soon after that, he started his own club team in Andover. For the past two years, he's been coaching Club 81, a team mainly for Augusta players and some area athletes. It wasn't long after that before Dreiling and the high school wanted Bishop to join the Orioles' staff as the freshman team's coach. "I personally am so excited about the program and possibilities that there are many nights I can't sleep because my brain is working overtime to come up with new ideas. One of my objectives is to see more than just parents and students coming to see us play. I want the Oriole Program to be the talk of the town," Bishop said. Dreiling was offered a teaching and coaching job at a Wichita school.

1. Re: Submit by Email function(Nick_Spreitzer) Mar 1, 2007 3:28 PM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))Sadly, I don't think it's possible to change this.
2. Re: Submit by Email function(Sreeraam_Mohuna) Mar 1, 2007 4:27 PM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))Hi,
I used Adobe LiveCycle designer to develop a form and used "Form Distribution" option to distribute it to the target audience. The target audience are able to complete the form in Adobe reader 8, but when they click the "Submit by Email" button, the pdf is not getting sent back. It is displaying the option to select the Email client. When the "Desktop Email application" is selected (MS outlook in open), nothing happens.
Can anyone help in letting me know the exact reason for this behavior.
Also, if I try to open in Adobe reader 7 , then even the "Select Email Option" does not work. Does this work only with Adobe 8 reader ?
Sreeraam Mohuna.
3. Re: Submit by Email function(Nick_Spreitzer) Mar 1, 2007 4:44 PM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))Sreeraam:
Wait...are you telling me that when you click "submit by email" while using Acrobat Reader 8 you get the "select Email Client" dialog box??
PLEASE let me know!
4. Re: Submit by Email function(Chris.T) Mar 1, 2007 11:33 PM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))Jhadur: Add this script to a REGULAR button - you specify what you want to be added in the subject & body - either defined text or variables / values from another field
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:email@example.com?subject=Submitted Form&body=Please find attached the completed form.",cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});
5. Re: Submit by Email function(Sreeraam_Mohuna) Mar 2, 2007 2:00 PM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))Nick, Yes. You are correct. I opened the form in reader 8 and I got the "Select Email Client" dialog box. And stating again, I used the distribute form option present in Livecycle designer.
Do you have any pointers ??
Sreeraam Mohuna.
6. Re: Submit by Email function(Nick_Spreitzer) Mar 2, 2007 2:21 PM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))Well, now I'm really baffled. Sorry for the side track, but I can't get my submit by email button to work with Reader version 8.
Anyhoo...back to your problem...
If your users are selecting "Desktop Application" and then clicking "Send Data File" and nothing happens, that probably means that they do not have a default email application set up. To change this, go to your control panel and double click "Internet Options." The second tab from the left is "Programs." Click it. Do you see were it says "E-mail:"? What does it say in that box? If it's blank, no default application is currrently set up. You'll need to pick the app of your choice from the dropdown menu.
Lemme know if that works for ya.
7. Re: Submit by Email function(Ben_D1) Mar 3, 2007 5:09 PM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))I have created a form using Designer and opted for the Submit by Email function which places a button on my form. When the user sends the form back to me it is in an XML format and adobe acrobat or reader can not open the file again despite the promise that it can recompile to its original pdf state.
How can I resolve this or how can I have the actual form sent back to me?
This is extremely frustrating!
8. Re: Submit by Email function(Nick_Spreitzer) Mar 3, 2007 5:17 PM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))I'm pretty sure it's possible to have the form itself emailed back to you, but I've never tried so I don't know how. ;)
If you have a copy of the form, you can simply import the XML data into the pdf form.
Why would you want to do this? What's your ultimate goal here?
9. Re: Submit by Email function(Sreeraam_Mohuna) Mar 6, 2007 9:22 AM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))Hi Nick,
The default Email client in my machine is MS Office outlook. Still it does not work :(
But I have some interesting observation. This seems to work with Adobe Reader 7. Some of my team mates have Adobe 7 and it is working fine for them. Again with adobe 6, it gives more issues.
I am not sure the exact reason for this peculiar behavior. Can you try it in Adobe 7. May be it will work for you too.
Sreeraam Mohuna.
10. Re: Submit by Email function(Nick_Spreitzer) Mar 6, 2007 10:16 AM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))That's just weird. Methinks Acrobat 8 has issues. Everything works fine for me with version 7.
11. Re: Submit by Email function(Chiefpropellerhead) Mar 8, 2007 8:51 AM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))Supposedly when you initially add the "submit by Email" button on the form you can tell it to submit the entire pdf form with data vs sending only the fdf form data. I am currently trying to figure out how to change the submit by email button that has been set to FDF vs PDF. Good luck to us all. LOL
12. Re: Submit by Email function(GPayne) Mar 12, 2007 10:15 AM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))I'm having the same request/issue as Ben D1 (above). My form needs to have an email button, where a user can submit their filled-out form via email once completed. This is purely for convenience-sake, much like the "Print" button; we're not collecting XML data or anything else. Having that button there visually, also helps remind users to submit it via email.
I've tried running the script that ChrisT above mentioned. While it works great and is what I'm looking for - I need the user to FIRST open the form, fill it out, then submit that completed form. I'm not script-savvy enough to tell it this. Any suggestions?
13. Re: Submit by Email function(Jo_Stewart) Mar 12, 2007 12:29 PM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))I seem to be having the same issue. When a user clicks the .pdf to open, my outlook opens with the blank form attached. Is there a way to have the user open the form, complete, then submit?
14. Re: Submit by Email function(rod_haley) Mar 13, 2007 7:25 AM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))I'm creating an online job application form that the applicant can fill-in and submit back as the .pdf form with their data in it. Upon testing this form, only the .xml data is being transmitted back.
I'm using Designer8....I understand that when you place the "submit by email" button on your page that a 'control type' option and a submit tab should show up in the object properties. This isn't happening for me.
Is there a bug in D8?.....Is there a way I can set the parameter, as described above, in the .xml code?...how?
15. Re: Submit by Email function(Corina_Schurmann) Mar 15, 2007 4:44 AM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))I have exactly the same problem. I have a form which we would like to give to our customers to complete and email back (as a completed pdf) via email button to a specified email address.
Am greatful for any ideas. Nothing of the above worked for me but then I cannot program xml.
16. Re: Submit by Email function(Chiefpropellerhead) Mar 15, 2007 5:16 AM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))Adobe 8 Professional allows you to "distribute" a form to your customers, have them fill out the data and e-mail it back to you. That process should work great for what you want to do.
I am still learning Adobe 8 Professional so I am not sure how much help I am going to be. I had to break down and pay Adobe Tech support 39.00 to show me how to do something. That was after spending several days on the Internet trying to Google specific phrases and keywords to see if I could find a how to document.
Hope this helps.
17. Re: Submit by Email function(GPayne) Mar 19, 2007 8:21 AM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))I wanted to follow-up to my previous post:
Chris.T's suggestion/script above WORKS PERFECTLY - for those of us needing the completed form submitted by email in PDF format (not XML). Again, his script is:
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com?subject=Submitted Form&body=Please find attached the completed form.",cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});
I've placed this in a regular button, set to "click"...and it WORKS GREAT! I have Reader 8 and I'm able to fill out, save (after the form is enabled) and submit by email in the completed PDF format.
Hopefully this is the solution everyone else was needing too!
18. Re: Submit by Email function(James_Robert_Smith) Mar 19, 2007 2:44 PM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))As Chris and Gretchen have said...here are the steps I've used that work great:
1) Add a button (not the email submit button, just the "button")
2) Set the Control type to Submit
3) On the submit tab, add "mailto:email@example.com" in the Submit to URL box
4) Change the submit as drop down to PDF
5) Save the form
6) Open the form in professional 8.0 (not livecycle designer)
7) Go to the Advanced option on the toolbar and select "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" which will require you to save the file again.
once you've done that you should have no problem with the emailing the completed form.
19. Re: Submit by Email function(Chris.T) Mar 19, 2007 10:49 PM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))my sister was wondering why so many people were emailing her forms..
Anyway.. glad the script worked. It doesn't happen often.
James.. I think the part you're missing by using your method is the addition of default text in Subject / Body of the email.. (I don't think you can change that when using the 'built-in' email submit function(?))
I guess you could also change the format of what is submitted to XML or XDP rather than PDF - and then just drag & drop / import the data to a blank copy of the form once you receive it. You will also save a lot of space in your email if receiving 5 kb files rather than the whole form - and there's a possibility people with only Reader can only send data rather than the whole form(?) Please correct me if I'm wrong!
20. Re: Submit by Email function(James_Robert_Smith) Mar 20, 2007 7:39 AM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))I think your correct about the email. I missed the part with the subject/body so your script obviously works for that. And using the xml or xdp to just send the data is definately more efficient on space. Though, so far in my testing I've found that as long as you do step 7 on my list, anyone with reader should be able to send the entire form (requires professional 8.0 to enable the rights.)
21. Re: Submit by Email function(Jo_Stewart) Mar 20, 2007 7:57 AM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))Chris,
I added the code listed above and completed step 7 but the email still comes up first. When I close out my outlook, the PDF will open. I am able to complete and submit after the fact. Not sure why outlook would open first. Basically, I am backwards. Do you have any suggestions?
22. Re: Submit by Email function(Jo_Stewart) Mar 20, 2007 8:51 AM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))I was able to figure this out on my own. It works perfectly! Thanks!
23. Re: Submit by Email function(Corina_Schurmann) Mar 21, 2007 4:06 AM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))The Info from James Robert Smith with Acrobat 8 worked perfect. Thanks for the help. Very much appreciated.
24. Re: Submit by Email function(akshatha) Mar 23, 2007 9:07 PM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))Hi Ben,
If you want to send the form in PDF format , then insert a normal button into the form , then go to field tab of object , change the control type to "Submit".
Then go to submit tab change the submit as option to PDF. That's all.
25. Re: Submit by Email function(Joe_Lapensee) Apr 9, 2007 11:13 AM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))Can anyone tell me how to have a form returned to more than one email address? If I use one email address for the return it works fine. If I try to use more than one it responds with an error message that the email address in invalid.
26. Re: Submit by Email function(Nick_Spreitzer) Apr 9, 2007 12:09 PM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))You should just be able to enter multiple addresses separated by a comma: email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
27. Re: Submit by Email function(Joe_Lapensee) Apr 9, 2007 12:14 PM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))Thanks for replying Nick. That's what I thought. It does not work. any suggestions?
28. Re: Submit by Email function(Joe_Lapensee) Apr 9, 2007 12:33 PM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))If it helps I am using 8.0 Pro
29. Re: Submit by Email function(hanimkilic) Apr 11, 2007 2:41 AM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))Thanks you guys! you are all legends! after fretting all day about why there was no 'submit' tab in my palette when i selected 'submit by email' a simple pointer int he direction of 'button' solved all my woes!! awesome. saved my bacon!
30. Re: Submit by Email function(J_Mercier) Apr 12, 2007 7:23 AM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))Chris T. and James Robert Smith
I have tried both your method and they works fine for me because I have Adobe Pro.
BUT, when those that have Reader 8 click the button, nothing happens. Do you have any idea what I may have done wrong?
31. Re: Submit by Email function(D3X) Apr 12, 2007 8:13 AM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))I had the EXACT same problem and was torturing myself trying to figure it out. What you do is save the PDF in Designer. CLOSE OUT.
Open the PDF in Adobe PROFESSIONAL 8 (You cannot do this in 7)
Click ADVANCED
Select ENABLE USAGE RIGHTS IN ADOBE READER
SAVE and it should work in reader 7 and 8.
Anyone have ideas how to reroute this to another page after submission. As quirky as it sounds, I don't know if some people are going to realize they have to click "back" from the PDF to return to our website. I'd like to make it easier..
32. Re: Submit by Email function(koko_boko) Apr 17, 2007 7:15 PM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))add another action to the Submit button "Open a web link" then specify link and you r ready to go
33. Re: Submit by Email function(Yank7) Apr 18, 2007 9:23 AM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))I have a problem with the Submitting of the forms via email using PDF format....
After, the user filled the forms, I want them to email me the result of it, like if it was PRINT, just the result in the form not the field to edit...
What is is happening is that, when the user is submitting the form filled, it send the interactive menu with it, means all the drop down and I am able to change it, I don't want that....
I want to received it like if it was print then submit...
Is that possible, without printing it as pdf, before then submitting it!
34. Re: Submit by Email function(Chris.T) Apr 18, 2007 9:41 PM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))By javascript you could make all fields readonly before submitting if that would solve your problem -
35. Re: Submit by Email function(James_Robert_Smith) Apr 23, 2007 9:25 AM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))is there code to change them all at once? or do you have to change them individually?
36. Re: Submit by Email function(Chris.T) Apr 23, 2007 9:55 PM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))I had done something similar in the past - but don't quite remember the script for it - Anyway, I think you loop through the different subform nodes (fields) & set the 'access' of each node to 'readOnly' -
37. Re: Submit by Email function(James_Robert_Smith) Apr 26, 2007 3:11 PM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))Do you know if it's possible to have the email button just sending the email? Currently it opens an email and I have to hit the send button.
38. Re: Submit by Email function(N._Lochner) May 4, 2007 7:55 AM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))'Submit by Email' Button:
I am having a similar issue to one that has already been posted.
When an email message gets created, the following message appears alongside the email address,
The attached file contains data that was entered into a form. It is not the form itself.
The recipient of this data file should save it locally with a unique name. Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later can process this data by importing it back into the blank form or creating a spreadsheet from several data files. See Help in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 for more details.
Do I need to be concerned about this? Will the email still work? Our customers will be using this form to register for an event, so I don't want to send it out if it does not function properly.
FYI...I am using Designer 7.0.
39. Re: Submit by Email function(michael_h.) May 7, 2007 11:01 PM (in response to (jhadur_ducharme))Hi,
thanks to all of you for the solution with the button configured as an "mailto" button. I am using Lotus Notes, everything seems to work fine but the e-mail address is entered two times? (looks like: email@example.com@domain.com)
Any idea how to solve this?

OFF Festival 2013
First bands announced tonight!!
Laurel Halo
Jens Lekman

thee oh sees, walkmen, pop group, alunageorge, blondes. Must admit to being a tad disappointed so far. doesn't really match up to last years fantastic billing. only want to see thee oh sees and metz so far - and seen both before. we still have faith though that better is to come. buying flights today!
my bloody valentine added to the line up, its shaping up nicely albeit slowly
Godspeed You! Black Emperor added

the lineup is incredible. Such a good festival.
Does anyone who went last year have a hotel recommendation?
Angelo hotel
is wonderful. all the bands stop there. think its about £40 per night. worth it.
park diamente hotel
main hq of organisers and lots of bands there if you want to shmooze and have a game of simulated golf. 20 min walk to festival site. we got it for a bargain £22 a room. booked into Angelo this year, more like £60 a night. still not too excited by lineup.Lo-Pan this'd this
bumped into Mazzy Star, DIV, Swans, Thurston Moore at the Angelo last year so presumed that was the main hotel. hmmmmm
they must use both
the bigger bands go in angelo, but lots were in diamente last year e.g. pissed jeans, daughn gibson, twilight sad. unless something more appealing than smashing pumpkins is announced soon i am cancelling my angelo booking and just going to krakow for the week instead. compare to last years lineup - the stooges, pissed jeans, ty segall, thurston moore, house of love, daughn gibson, colin stetson, blixa, andy stott, demdike stare, iceage, wedding present, malkmus, chromatics, swans, mazzy star, doom..
We've booked our rooms there this year for a third time in a row.
It's £22 a night. But most important, it's a 5 minutes walk from the festival grounds, and a 2 minutes walk from a nice lake, where we always hang out, swim and BBQ to spend our days before go and watching the bands.
Girls Against Boys
Mykki Blanco
The Haxan Cloak
And I heard Shackleton will be anounced as well shortly.
Thanks for the replies, I went for the park hotel, the Angelo hotel looked to be the best but too expensive.So, is it safe to walk back to the Diamante after the fest?
Looking forward to seeing godspeed outdoors with all their projections
Really tempted this year
My girlfriend is off from work at beginning of August I think and this is so cheap, not really realised quite how cheap it is until today.
Just bought tickets
Staying at the Campanile. Can't really argue with the price of it all. Anyone tell me how the food is? I hear if you don't like sausage, you're out of options.
Also, KTL, Bohren & Der Club of Gore, Chelsea Wolfe and others added.
There's a supermarket near by and a few restaurants etc
We made sandwiches from stuff we bought at the supermarket. I wouldn't worry too much about the food.
Food on the festival is nice. A lot of options (and yes, also vegetarian), local dishes and the more common festivalfood. It's also not really expensive.
But indeed, the supermarket is really close as well.
See you at campanile then!
Nice little festival
this will be 5th year, the line-up has never repeated itself...yet
Hello OFFsters
Gonna be deciding on this soon I reckon as flight / hotel prices are creeping up. How much spending money would you say one would need for this roughly?
Depends how much you drink
but everything is very cheap so I imagine you can get by on £150 for the weekend.
It depends on how you travel.
By plane it's roughly 80£ (to and back), festival itself is 35£, hotel is 63£ (21£ a night). That makes +/- 177£.
Beers are £1.4 (served in pints).
Wasn't including flights and tickets and hotel, just meant in terms of spending over the course of the weekend.
take as much as you want to spend
you could do it more than comfortably on £100 the whole three days (say 10 drinks & 2 meals a day - £80, £20 on merch).
+ John Grant
+ Sam Amidon
+ Cass McCombs
+ Veronica Falls
+ How How
REALLY wanna go to this this year.
Looks incredible.
some more bands added tonight. Day by day breakdown to follow next week. Cloud nothings are the only band among the new ones that I have heard of.
Cloud Nothings,
The Skull Defekts feat. Daniel Higgs,
The Soft Moon,
Dope Body, Fire!,
Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats,
Autre Ne Veut,
Glass Animals,
Rudi Zygadlo,
Holy Other,
Stara Rzeka,
Fuka Lata,
We Draw A.
oh my WORD
Cloud Nothings, The Soft Moon, Autre Ne Veut and Holy Other!!
If only I wasn't going to Katowice for another festival in August :(
gutted im not going. Dope Body were incredible at primavera
uncle acid... are great too
This could be just the thing to cheer me up after the Primavera ballsup
How on earth is that lineup only £30-odd quid? Unbelievable.
Sucks that we decided we couldn't really afford this after all
Next year I think will have to book early as possible to make sure the funds are fine. Great line-up.
Julia Holter and Chelsea Wolfe are playing too
love those girls
have a listen to Peer Amid
by The Skull Defekts & Daniel Higgs. Excellent stuff... got me so excited we've bought tickets again.
Stage times announced today
along with the final few bands... http://off-festival.pl/program/
Spotted a few clashes already, but should get to see everything I really want to regardless.
Friday evening is a bit clash heavy
and i'll have to run from Chelsea Wolfe to Julia Holter :(
not as many clashes as prima, but goat v Cass McComb and also the walkmen v Julia Holter are my ones. Happy with the breakdown as there will be very gaps in the schedule for me
Yeah, The Walkmen vs. Julia Holter is my nightmare.
anyone got a spare ticket for the thursday?
I only have a 3 day ticket, and really really want to see Daniel higgs!
I can't go to this anymore.
Does anyone want a 4 day pass for £30?
but have told not to be greedy, I am seeing enough bands in the 3 days!
Line up
The line up and times are here http://off-festival.pl/program/
Anyone recommend some bands there I shouldn't miss? There's a lot I don't know at all or know only a couple of tracks by.
I've heard good things about shackleton, John Grant and Goat.
few polish bands sound interesting this year
especially stara rzeka and hera. youtube them!
apart from the locals, Woods are great. and thee oh sees of coursem and metz are good for a bit of mentalness.
two late pull outs
Chelsea Wolfe
Disappointing to see Chelsea Wolfe cancel her appearance. Mark Fell is replacement for her.
Solange, farewell
Off Festival always seems to have 4 or 5 cancellations.
4 or 5?
isn't there only 2? I can only remember the 1 from last year, but can't remember who it was.
bedzie bardzo gor?co
Forecasts of over 30 degrees, hopefully we'll get a few showers to cool it down like last year.

Ventricular Activation Time Maps In Left Bundle Branch Block
Suche in Medline nach
|8. Februar 2007
Ventricular activation time (VAT) can be assessed with isochrone maps obtained from the multielectrode registration system. A purpose of the study was to analyze VAT characteristics in patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB). A study group consisted of 24 patients with LBBB, diagnosed on the 12-lead ECG, and a control group of 30 healthy subjects. Recordings of body surface potential mapping (BSPM) were performed with 87-lead Fukuda Denshi system. Isochrone maps were created with the original software and the pattern maps were established using discriminative analysis. Isochrone maps served for determining an activation propagation pathway, including velocity alteration. In the isochrone maps, the ventricular activation onset in complete LBBB, like in the controls, occurred over anterior torso at 12. ms. Then, the isochrones moved from the medial anterior line toward the upper parasternal left line and leftward to the middle portion of the left midclavicular line. Next, the isochrones extended downward and toward left midaxillary line, then covered the back and reached right axillary line. After that, the isochrones migrated to the anterior left thorax and finally gained a stability at 90-95. ms near anterior left axillary line. In complete LBBB, the first isochrone in the group-mean VAT map was observed in the middle zone of the anterior torso and had a value of 12 ms, whereas the last isochrone, at the anterior left axillary line, had a value of 95 ms. Analysis of the isochrones distribution between the terminal time instants enabled a precise monitoring of the activation process trajectory within the ventricles. Comparison of the VAT maps obtained from the patients with LBBB and the controls revealed the significant time data differences, which appeared to be of discriminative value. The established distribution patterns and values matrixes of the VAT maps could be applied for extended LBBB diagnosing.

Skip to comments.Line at Gun Show is a Mile Long in San Diego (Del Mar) 3-9-2013
Posted on 03/10/2013 8:30:16 AM PDT by NoGrayZone
Line to get into gun show over a mile long. I believe it consists of ticket holders as well as non-ticket holders.
Mark tried to get a ticket, however he stated the website crashed!
This is for those bottom feeders stalking me here on Free Republic. You know who you are.
There's a liquor store not far from our house that conspicuously displays one of those shooting targets with the dark human profile — with numerous puncture holes. To my knowledge they have never been robbed. And most people seem very comfortable shopping there.
That would certainly be a store I would shop at.
I'm going to the gun show in Orlando next weekend. However, I won't be standing in line I'll be walking in front of the folks standing in line selling them ammo and magazines :-)
That's 300 rounds with a Sten at about 7 yards. It was fun!
Meanwhile the DHS trains on these.
No wonder citizens are arming up in record numbers.
Damn, wish I could be there.....with cash on hand!
That's pretty much what it looks like, except I think there's a few head shots just for good measure, to convince any "doubters". LOL
More stores should have similar displays IMO.
I remember seeing similar paper targets with drawn subjects on it. You could cut and paste on the hands various weapons or utensils like cameras and such to check a shooter's reactions.
I think somebody needs to print up some DHS targets....I'd buy them and use them. My range doesn't care.
Good Lord, and there's NO SMOKING within the City of Del Mar...LOL.
I hope the Gun Show is at the Race Track!
I'm going to the Shreveport/Bossier LA gun show 22 - 24 Mar. Will give you all an update.
Ahhhhh . . . Del Mar was such a great place to grow up. Lots of conservative folks.
The larger the holes, the better the intimidation effect. LOL
If you think about it, a would be robber would really have to be brazen to think they could hit a place that's obviously armed and just waiting to show these thugs some real fire power. The visuals send a strong message! LOL
Criminals are cowards and are always going to take the path of least resistance. They'll hit the next store down the street instead.
You got ammo?
Lucky bastid!
Holy smokes (literally!)
Just read a reply up-thread that made me google a few things. Essentially, Del Mar is a smoke-free city. Designated smoking areas are banned. Smoking anywhere where there's a sidewalk is banned. Smoking on a street, adjacent to a sidewalk is banned. Smoking on the property of any public facility is banned. The only place you can smoke is in your own private residence, or a private office that has no employees and doesn't admit any members of the public (what kind of office is that, I wonder?)
I guess you could get your medical marijuana prescription there and sit on the beach and smoke a joint though. Sheesh.
Are you freakin kidding me??? Sorry, if I were there, as a law abiding citizen, I would HAVE to break that one.
When they 1st past the "non-smoking" laws in bars I would just light up and ignore them. It was always some sniveling idiot that would complain. The owners, who knew me would just come up to me, with their glass of water and give me the look.
Of course I tried to argue, to no avail, and would take a few more puffs before I put my butt into their glass, lol.
They would have to repeat this an hour later, all night long, heeheee.

The Harvard women's soccer team will visit Boston University in the first round of the NCAA tournament (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – After winning its third Ivy League title in the last four years, the Harvard women's soccer team has advanced to the NCAA tournament and will play on the road at No. 12 Boston University in the opening round of the 2011 NCAA Championship. The game will be held at Nickerson Field Saturday, Nov. 12 at noon.
Tickets for Saturday's game are $8 for general admission, $4 for seniors and for students with ID from one of the participating schools and $1 for children ages five and under.
Harvard, which enters the NCAA tournament on a 10-game unbeaten streak (9-0-1) went 12-4-1 overall and 6-0-1 in the Ivy League. The Crimson, which posted a 10-1-0 record at home, tying the program record for most wins at home in a single season, posted the most overall victories and enjoyed its best conference mark since the 1999. Harvard will be making its 13th appearance in the NCAA tournament.
"We're just thrilled to be in the NCAA tournament," said Harvard head coach Ray Leone, who is in his fifth season at the helm of the Crimson. "Boston University is an amazing program, and they have done a great job with their team. "It's going to be a monumental challenge for us."
The Terriers are coming off a 2-0 win over Albany in the America East final Nov. 5. BU owns an 18-2-1 overall mark and are a perfect 12-0-0 at home this fall. Harvard and BU met earlier this season, with the Terriers taking a 3-0 win at Nickerson Field Sept. 14.The Crimson leads the all-time series against the Terriers, 12-4-3, but BU has won four of the last five meetings between the schools.
The winner of Harvard and BU will face either Wake Forest, a one-seed, or Oakland in the second round of the tournament Nov. 18.

Suspected Philippine militant killed by own bomb
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A suspected Abu Sayyaf militant was killed by his own bomb when it exploded as he was transporting it by motorcycle in the southern Philippines, a military commander said Wednesday.
The explosion killed Reynald Sapilin and destroyed his motorcycle on Tuesday in a rubber plantation village in Lamitan city on Basilan island, where the al-Qaida-linked Abu Sayyaf group has been active for years, army Col. Carlito Galvez said.
Sapilin, who was armed with a pistol, may have planned to detonate the bomb in Lamitan or in nearby Isabela city but had difficulty moving around because of road checkpoints set up by the army, Galvez said. He made a call using his cellphone and was seen tinkering with the bomb, which was concealed in his backpack, when it apparently accidentally exploded, Galvez said.
Sapilin is suspected of having been involved in the recent killings of army intelligence officers in Basilan, he said.
Government forces have been alerted to look for another possible bomber, Galvez said. He said intelligence received by the military indicated the Abu Sayyaf had planned to detonate two bombs either as part of a terrorist plot or an extortion attempt.
Washington has blacklisted the Abu Sayyaf as a terrorist group. More than 300 Abu Sayyaf fighters have remained mostly in Basilan and nearby Jolo island despite years of U.S.-backed Philippine offensives, surviving on extortion, kidnappings and other acts of banditry.
There are up to 80 Abu Sayyaf fighters in predominantly Muslim Basilan, including Abu Sayyaf commander Isnilon Hapilon, Galvez said. The U.S. government has offered a $5 million reward for the capture or killing of Hapilon for alleged killings and abductions, including of Americans.

At the outset of this discussion I want to make it perfectly clear that I understand that there are many Americans who own and use guns responsibly. Obviously declaring gun ownership in America to be unconstitutional would be an unfair blow to those Americans who do use guns responsibly. Having said that, I think a real discussion about the use of guns in our society is long overdue. Below I'll list some statistics about the number of Americans killed and injured by guns. Then I'll paste a link to an article about a man with a history of mental illness and domestic violence who used a gun to murder his wife and daughter. A second daughter is currently in critical condition. I'm hoping that, in the comment section, some of you intelligent people can convince me why guns should continue being so routed in our culture.
In 2009, guns took the lives of 31,347 Americans. To put that in perspective, in 2009 an average of 85 Americans were killed each day. In 2009, 66,769 Americans were treated for gunshot wounds at American hospitals. In 2009, firearms were the third leading cause of injury-related deaths in America. In 2009 guns were used in 68 percent of all the homicides that were committed in America. On average 33 gun-related homicides took place each day in America between 2004 and 2009.
Between 1955 and 1975 the Vietnam War killed over 58,000 American soldiers. That number is less than the number of Americans killed by guns in America during an average two-year period. In the first seven years of the Iraq War more than 4,400 American soldiers were killed. Almost as many civilians are killed by guns in the US in an average seven-week period.
Those statistics can be found at: http://www.lcav.org/statistics-polling/gun_violence_statistics.asp. The article about the mentally-ill man who shot his family is at: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_RESTAURANT_SHOOTING?SITE=....

I'll start by commenting that I am Australian not American so I cant understand the place guns have in the psyche of America.
That said I REALLY cant understand the place guns have in your society.
Why enshrine the right to own a gun in your constitution? The only answer I've ever really heard is to protect the people from their government.. Really? Don't you already have a mechanism for that? It's called an election.
I will agree that guns don't kill people, people kill people. However the more people have guns the more they will kill people.
I'll admit in Australia even without the gun culture you have there are way to many gun deaths. I would say however these are mainly the result of run ins with hardened criminals.
We just don't see guns in normal everyday life. Apart from Police and Security guards I would say the amount of times i have seen, let alone touched a gun in all my 39 years I could count on one hand. So when your average Joe's life goes to shit he cant reach for a gun and blow away his problems.
I'd like to think that most people on a website such as this wouldn't defend the American gun culture, but I'm looking forward to seeing what defenses do get put up.
I have made this point elsewhere, but there's no reason not to repeat it here:
The past two hundred years have seen technology increase the efficiency and resulting lethality of firearms worldwide by a daunting amount. Gun availability continues, owing to the lobbying power of the NRA. How responsible the owners of these weapons are is a debatable matter. To a degree, I LIKE the Second Amendment, because under extreme conditions, it might dissuade the government from taking unilateral action against its citizens. I DON'T like the Second Amendment because it assumes that the requisite responsibility automatically comes with gun ownership, and it fails to recognize the changes in firearms technology which has occurred over the past two centuries.
Gun ownership in 18th-century America was likely a borderline necessity, not just for defense but for food, in some cases. It has since evolved into multiple sports and competitions, personal defense, and a defiant statement against what may or may not be an invasive government's intrusion into private lives. The problem is as much the people who own the weapons and the attitudes as it is the weapons themselves. I don't pretend to have an answer to the irrational reasons for gun ownership any more than I have an answer for those who believe in irrational faiths. I'm just laying out my take on the current situation.
And that and $0.50 will buy you a cup of coffee from the machine down the hall.
The key word there, Jonathan, is "reasonable." Those who insist on an unmodified right to guns, regardless of regulation or circumstances are neither reasonable nor rational by any measure you or I would apply.
Therein lies the problem.
Well, technically i believe the rights outlined by the 2nd Amendment ARE supposed to extend to things beyond just guns, specifically "the right to bear arms." In full: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." And there have certainly been cases where civilian armies, especially when fighting on their own soil, have given large well-armed governments a serious run for their money. And many government change-overs have been brought about in this fashion.
Not to say that i'm a fan of the U.S. militias that often get inspired by the second amendment, and i certainly have no desire for a war on U.S. soil. I just wouldn't unilaterally dismiss the idea outright.
First of all I would like to say, I own many firearms and shot in tournaments when I was younger.
The main thing I want to address is this: You have to have a hunter's safety course to get a hunting license, which is required to hunt legally, which involves gun safety. Thing is there is no gun safety course needed to actually buy a gun, which there should be, because most accidents occur because of mishandling of these weapons.
Not to mention, criminals are still going to have guns. They can't get them legally anyway, because a background check is required, how fair is it to me, a responsible gun owner, that I can't have a gun to possibly have to protect myself from one of these criminals and without it i'm on an unfair playing field.
As far as people purposely using a gun to murder or kill without it being for reason of defense, that person just used a gun to kill someone, its still that person who is to blame. You don't need a gun to kill someone.
Also to add to accidents, people need to have the knowledge of how to clear a misfire and how to properly care for their firearm. Proper care can lead to the less likely hood of jams and misfires, also possibly dangerous malfunctions, which they should be aware of the signs of these malfunctions in the first place and have the knowledge to at least take it to a weaponsmith or someone with ample knowledge, or at best recognize what the problem is themselves which brings the knowledge to know when its out of your hands and you need to take it to someone else.
So, the main problem isn't guns themselves or the increase in their technology(which brings added safety, not just in the guns function, but safety in the ammunition itself( making it less likely to penetrate and hurt innocent bystanders or cause ricochet when it penetrates) its mostly ignorance or ill intent. At least a basic safety and maintenance course should be required before someone can own a gun. I could go even further and add that maybe a license should be added and a test be taken to renew that license. I was in the military and I was astounded by the number of people who so soon forgot how to properly use just one rifle out many different rifles and types of weapons. I would also like to add to my resume, I am from Mississippi, guns are a part of my southern culture and I have been shooting since I was a child.
Also its a good Idea to read the manual on a specific the specific gun you own. Most people don't, that includes myself but I am very proficient and knowledgeable, and have tons of experience, I still tend to look over I few things if I buy a new type of weapon but If I buy say another type of glock pistol(excellent reliable pistol I might, good choice if any of you freethinkers decide to buy one) I most likely won't look at the manual, their function and disassembly are generally going to be the same.
Message me if you have any questions on firearms or if you are looking for a gun for personal protection or hunting, Ill be happy to recommend some suitable reliable firearm for your needs or interest and how to choose from the ones that I recommend, always happy to help out.
I guess my confusion whenever this conversation comes up is, why guns?
Why not, say for instance, cars. Cars also do not really save many lives, but take a LOT of lives. Like guns, they are useful tools that are usually handled responsibly but when handled irresponsibly have disastrous effects. They are not necessary to live, but they come in real handy when you need them.
I will venture a very hesitant, tentative theory as to one reason why guns are so quickly put in the "ban" pile while other dangerous tools are not: city people have little to no use for them. And one thing i have observed in many subjects of life is that urbanites seem to forget that not everyone lives like them. I have tried to explain to those who have never lived in a rural environment why guns can actually be useful tools -- yes, even life saving -- but i think they think i make this shit up or something! It's just inconceivable to them, like i'm describing science fiction!
Suffice to say, most people i know use their guns only very rarely, but like a good chain saw or air compressor (both also very dangerous, btw!) when you need them you really need them and are glad to have one around.
Guns help provide affordable, nutritious food and occasional protection from the rare threatening animal.
They also provide a suite of fairly healthy sports, but i understand if someone wouldn't prioritize that as highly.
FWIW, i would argue cars are't strictly needed either. For many periods of my life (including now) i've biked everywhere. Cars are actually a bit of a nuisance and a noticeable danger, but i'm not going to suggest banning them because i realize not everyone's lifestyle is like mine, and other people need their cars to get by.
I was also going to bring up cars Joe.
Yes they are very useful tools, when the time calls for them and they are used for for sport and competition. I don't have the facts on this, but highly doubt very many people are injured or killed at competitions. As for hunting, accidents do happen and its usually do to negligence, ex: not wearing an orange vest or when your bird hunting not paying attention to where you are shooting etc.
Not to mention some of my family relies on hunting and fishing heavily to support themselves. I don't kill anything when I am hunting anymore(so I guess I'm just observing most of the time) unless someone actually needs the meat. Yes there are people who still rely on hunting and fishing, they also plant their own gardens. There are bows, but they are only really useful for deer and boar, try killing smaller game with a bow, I doubt there is anyone who can do that consistently, if there is , its a rare feat. Not to mention bows are not anywhere near as effective and I would almost consider it inhumane to kill something with a bow, considering the animals tend to live more often or live longer. Plus they severely lack in range vs a gun.
I would also like to add, its very hard to gauge how many people guns save versus how many they kill, and I think a push to teach proper safety and maintenance would drastically reduce deaths attributed to guns, since it isn't going anywhere soon.
Also if anyone decided to invade our country(however unlikely that is already), The fact that many Americans it further decreases that likelyhood and would severely dampen any invasion. Again not a huge point.
Personal account on at least one life saved. Someone tried to rob me at knife point about 2 years ago, I have a concealed carry license(I am no stranger and neither is my immediate family, law enforcement, to the horrors this life can bring) and I pulled my gun on this fellow, Neither person died and I retained my money. Now if I wouldn't have had a gun, I would have had a knife(I carry both) we both could have possibly died, I wouldn't have let him take my stuff without a fight. When my adrenaline is pumping, I get angry, fight or flight, if i'm on an even field I fight, If they have the advantage I run or try to make the decision that allows me to live another day. Since I had the advantage and control I was allowed to push the situation the way I wanted it to go, and I don't know the fellow's intent , but I generally wouldn't have taken any chances and would have fought.
I also think guns get a bad rap is because their original intent was a weapon, but I seem them not just weapons but tools.
