Glastonbury, in addition to many other places, like Caerleon and Tintagel, has been linked to King Arthur. This link though, at Glastonbury, is in death rather than life. The connection of the Isle of Apples or Avalloc, to Avalon was thought to have been first made in about the 12th century and then reported by William of Malmesbury the interpolator, in his De antiquitae Glatoniensis ecclesie and Geoffrey of Monmouth in his Historia regum Britanniae.
Arthur was the legendary English King - 'Arthur of the Britons', before Saxon times. He was born out of wedlock and raised by wizard Merlin. When only a boy, after many men had tried and failed, Arthur gained the throne by withdrawing the magic sword Excalibur from a stone. The nearby Cadbury Castle, at North Cadbury supposedly became his 'Camelot'.
After his many exploits and stories concerning his Knights, the Round Table and the Holy Grail, he was wounded by Mordred at the battle of Camlan. This was around the year 542 and he was then taken across the water to the Isle of Avalon for his wounds to be healed. Glastonbury would indeed still have been an island at that time, so it was quite possible for a boat to bring him to the only place where any medical attention was available, which would have been at a monastery - Glastonbury Abbey. Arthur was mortally wounded however and it is said he was buried in the cemetery on the south side of the Lady Chapel, at Glastonbury Abbey. He was buried between two stone pyramids and at great depth.
Centuries later (in 1191) prompted by hints and rumours, the monks excavated this same spot in the cemetery and they dug down sixteen feet, to find an oaken coffin. At a depth of seven feet they found a stone beneath which was a leaden cross with an inscription His iacet inclitus Arturius in insula Avalonia - variously interpreted to read 'Here lies King Arthur buried in Avalon'! The coffin contained two bodies - a great man and a woman, whose golden hair was still intact, until touched, when it crumbled away. The bodies were said to be Arthur's and Guinevere's.
A century later in 1278 the bones were placed in caskets and transferred during a state visit by King Edward 1, to a black marble tomb before the High Altar in the great Abbey Church. There they remained until the Abbey was vandalised after the dissolution in 1539. No one has seen, or heard anything of them since.
Legend proclaims that after Arthur's death, a powerful spirit haunted the ruins of the Abbey, appearing as a black-armoured knight with red glowing eyes and a burning desire to eradicate all records of the ancient Arthurian legends, which is why, it is said, that those seeking to discover the truth, find so few facts available.
Today a notice board marks the spot of Arthur's final resting place. Occasionally people lay flowers there to honour this mighty King whose life and death gave birth to so many myths and legends. These mystical tales that still envelope Glastonbury Abbey in a cloak of mystery add to its profoundly rich and timeless history.

i use toro, rainbird valves. toro/k-rain heads. no problems to this date.
i have been using irritrol valves they seem to be the longest lasting valves on the market. and its the only valve I install. I give an unconditional replacement guarantee. Out of about 1000 I have installed I only had to warranty about 8 of them. that valve seems to last about 15 years,
I have been in business over 25 years and the only products I use are the ones that last the test of time. When I cut this style of valves out of the sprinkler system I have pulled some out that were over 20 years old when they finally broke. And yes irritrol has not produced this valve for 20 years but the style has been around I think for about 26 years under different names the original company has been bought out several times by different companies and improvements have been made to it. Even Rainbird solenoids seem to last only about 8 years or so.
Never cheep out on valves because you don't want to do the job twice.
i use toro, rainbird valves. toro/k-rain heads. no problems to this date.
Well...I have to say, this is the longest post I have seen on one subject!! I just joined this forum to enter my comments. I was just surfing the web to find a place in PHX, AZ for replacement solenoids for the WM valves and I ran into Terry's forum here. Thank you Terry for creating this!! I have had my system for a little over 3 years and it has been fine until recently. I have three WM valves and an Irritrol controller..this has not been an issue. I just want to replace two solenoids for now and see if I have any further issues before I decide to replace the valves. It looks like I have a 1" Silver Bullet 12000 w/flow controller. I have not been able to find replacement solenoids in the Phoenix, AZ area or on line. Anybody have any recommendations please??
The valves should be fine, if they've been working so far. As for solenoids, I've seen old W*M brass valves with Irritrol solenoids, so maybe that can work on your plastic valves, if you can't locate W*M replacements, although, around a big city like Phoenix, there should be a source for W*M.
Weathermatic experienced a problem with the M24E solenoid relating to water penetration. They have replaced the M24E with the S20P solenoid. All of the reports I have heard on this solenoid are excellent. I recommend that you contact the company's tech service department if you are still having problems. Have you tried the Weathermatic SmartLine controller? This is a really cool product. It adjusts watering times based on the weather. They have a site about the product called www.smartline.com. A lot of water providers are giving rebates for installing a product of this type. Many of these rebates are listed on the Smartline site.
Well, I ran into a system that had an 06 date on the failed W*M solenoid. Replaced every one of them from my stock of 20th-century M24Es - I wonder if W*M will ever tell the entire truth about this debacle, or whether they even understand all that transpired.
Well, we are 6 days away from the 3rd year anniversary of this thread. Going for 4!
W*M bailed on the M24E. At least they were aware enough to know how thoroughly they poisoned the market with their incompetence. The new solenoid is named S20P.
Can't let this thread die now!
When I turned my 32-valve system on early this summer, as I expected, I started losing solenoids again.
I contacted Weathermatic and they touted their new S20P solenoids and sent me a box of 32 of them, no charge. I've been putting them in as the old M24Es die. I've only had the S20Ps out there for a few weeks, but none of them have failed yet.
My biggest problem now--assuming these S20Ps really last--is replacing the solenoids without cross-threading them. You do that once and you have to replace the valve cover to get another solenoid to stay in.
Now that the new S20P is narrow enough to access the screws on either side of it, I may resort to pulling the cover, installing the new solenoid in plain site, outside of the valve box, then screwing the cover with the solenoid on as one unit, unless anyone has a more sure-fire way to get them in snug enough to operate without making that fateful last twist that ruins the valve.
Well, after discovering this thread, I'm not going to let it die either! I have a small Weathermatic system, in place for 12 years now, and I just had my first M24 failure; it is dated 1996 and the side case is finally cracking from heat cycles. I have not had a valve failure yet. I have a WM controller, and although I kinda hate it, I have learned to use it. The LCD did go bad after the warranty period, and when I contacted WM, they sent out a whole new controller, they were very very good; this was about 2000. my 2 cents on WM. Kudos to aamartin for not going postal at some point and figuring out a voltage patch.
Last post was May, 2007...it's now Sept 2008, and I haven't had a single failure since my installer replaced the WM valves with Hunter valves....I guess if the valves continue to work as long as this thread, then I'll be happy.
Thanks all for the information here; our builder put in Silver Bullets in the summer of 2004, and since then we have replaced a lot of solenoids. I just put in the first S20P, let's hope that is the real "silver bullet"
I was out testing my nine zone irrigation system over the weekend here in New Jersey where we had 20+ days of rain in June. The system was not responding to controller commands 100% of the time. This morning the controller said I had a short in the master valve. After disconnecting the master valve solenoid (the new replacement version S20P) and manually opening the valve (Weatermatic 12000 Series - Silver Bullet) the system work flawlessly. The irrigation system was installed late in 2007 (Oct/Nov.) worked well in 2008 and the master valve solenoid failed at the beginning of 2009.
Gene Johnson @ Weathermatic offered to sell me a replacement under a special program for $6.30 + 9.90 S&H.
I can't say I'm impressed.

Alice Springs Travel Guide
Why? Once a remote outpost, it is now easy to travel to
Alice Springs, situated in the heart of the Australian Outback. A
holiday in Alice Springs is an exciting true Australian experience,
its proximity to the desert and the remarkable natural monolith,
Uluru (Ayers Rock) drawing thousands of tourists every year. 'The
Alice', as it is known, is also the focus of Aboriginal
When? There is no need to pack a brolly when you travel to Alice Springs, where rain is a rarity. It is hot and dry all year round, but nights can be very cold in winter (July/August). The city has an exciting event calendar so it is a good idea to plan your Alice Springs holiday to coincide with one of these, like the Camel Cup tournament, Finke Desert Race or Alice Springs Beanie Festival, see our event pages for details.
Who for? Anyone who has a fascination with the rough and ready life of Central Australia will enjoy a holiday in Alice Springs, which is an ideal base for excursions into the surrounding desert.
More Info: To find out how to travel to Alice Springs, and what to expect when you get there, consult our up-to-date, comprehensive Alice Springs travel guide.
Uluru Ayers Rock Australia ©
Alice Springs, the vibrant hub of central Australia, grew up around a permanent waterhole that was a key terminal for the Overland Telegraph Station in 1870. It became a tough frontier town serviced by camel trains from the railhead at Oodnadatta, until the railway reached it in 1929 and it became a major terminus centre. Today the city, with a population of 25,000 and stylish shopping and dining facilities, provides a perfect base from which to access all of the surrounding natural wonders, including Uluru (Ayer's Rock), and learn more about the local Arrernte Aboriginal tribal group who have inhabited the area for 20,000 years. The city is also the point from which intrepid adventurers strike south to explore the Simpson Desert, or east to visit the ghost towns of the MacDonnell Ranges. Alice Springs has good connections to Australia's capital cities; there are daily flights to and from the capitals and road and rail access from all capital cities is possible.

Questions about the Raised Garden Bed Rabbit Fence - 4' x 8' x 21''
5 Item(s)
- From lhenry at 3/15/11 1:44 PM
- What are the dimensions of the garden base bed before adding the mesh to the sides? With the mesh, then what are the dimensions of this product? It sounds like there is only one stake included. Is that correct? What are the cross bars? I think I understand what the stacker joints are -- so there are six with every kit, correct? What kind of wood is used?
- The Raised Garden Bed Rabbit Fence is designed to attach to the composite raised beds with anchor/stacking joints. The fence is sold separately, the garden raised bed is not included in the price of the fence.
The garden bed pictured is 4' x 8', and so the fence fits it exactly. You can expand the fence by pruchasing an expansion kit, if you deside to buy a longer or wider raised bed.
The dimensions of the product are 4' x 8' x 23" tall. (The fence fully surrounds the 4 x 8 bed; if the fence were stretched out straight, it would be 24' long.)
There are no stakes included. The six stainless steel posts insert into the existing anchor/stacking joints of the bed. You just pop off the caps on the top of the joints and insert the fence upright support rod.
The raised beds in the picture, which this fence is designed for, is made of composite plastic - a belnd of wood fiber and polypropylene. Here is the link to the raised bed where you can find more information:

- From Tammy at 4/19/11 2:45 PM
- I like the fence to keep rabbits out. How do I work around the fence? Do I have to remove the whole thing every time I work in the garden?
- For most common garden chores, like harvesting lettuce, setting starters or weeding, you can work from over the fence. It's also easy to lift the fencing from the bottom and set it on the top bar for temporary access. You should only need to remove the fence at the end of the growing season.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Kathy at 4/19/11 4:34 PM
- Can this fence be used with my existing 4x8x8 basic raised bed (not puchased from you)?
- The Raised Garden Bed Rabbit Fence is designed to fit into the anchor/stacking joints which we sell.
Here is the link to the anchor joints:
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Ron at 5/5/11 5:50 AM
- Will rabbits chew through the plastic ?
- Rabbits can chew through plastic, but they are deterred by the fence and look for an easier place to browse. If the rabbit were trapped inside a plastic fence, eventually it would chew on the fence.
We have had no reports of rabbits getting inside this particluar fence design.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Laura at 9/24/12 12:49 PM
- can the rabbit fence fit into another configuration?
I want a border fence of a larger area which is in 4' segments (with the anchor and stacking joints) some parts are 90 degrees and some are straight 180 degrees. Can the supports and cross bar configurations accomodate either? (or do the kits come only with 4 cornere and 2 straight sides?)
- The connectors of the small animal barrier are adjustable to any angle just like the joints, in other words the connectors can be adjusted to either 90° angle or 180°. If you buy multiple kits, they can be connected together using the joints.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- can the rabbit fence fit into another configuration?

It's an act. If everyone would just put him on ignore and not respond he'll either stop or go away.
[/QUOTE]The ONLY problem with this post is that it isn't automatically repeated in every thread Softy post in, every half hour - or until people "get it".
I have him on Ignore, but I still see his posts when other posters "Reply to this post".
I also know it's probably past "too late" to suggest this, but if the board could be restored to posting the name of a person who creates a thread we could know which threads to ignore.
Softy is a troll. He knows what he's doing and what he can get away with, and he's doing it knowing there's nothing that can be done about it. How is that good for the board?

Hfx, you simply need to embrace making the guy look foolish. Whether it be the Red Sox, or any socio-political issue, the guy could not be more wrong more often. He's the perfect Yankee Troll, who serves himself up on a daily basis to be s metaphorically spanked by RS fans. It's looking more & more like he may be a BDC plant, placed here to make RS fans feel good about themselves. It's actually almost insulting how easy they're making it to make the guy look foolish. Given the myriad of Yankee wows, it's borderline abusive for us to keep kicking the guy while he's down. This has to be a setup, as I've never seen a Yankee fan be this wrong, this often, for so long. It's almost not fun anymore???? The only thing that makes it a worth while endeavor, is his seemingly bottomless capacity to reach a bottom.
This guy even gives Yankee fans a bad name. just relax and enjoy his demise. Besides, the examples you give are far from the generally offensive Stiffy we are all so used to.

I hope Softlaw enjoyed watching the worst Red Sox team he has ever seen win the World Series vs. the superior National League team. Yeah Bill, your boy sure saw that coming.
[/QUOTE] Devildave...... I think that we can all agree that it was mid-late August before the "WINDS OF OCTOBER" started to show itself and it was a great run to get there...... Then, as DAD would say............. "SON, WHAT EVER TEAM GETS HOT CAN GO ALL THE WAY" !!!! And "get hot" we did , another great run...... Lousey but timely hitting by all teams, in the end it was the GLOVE, PITCHING, & PAPI'S 700+ BA that did it !!!! One for the record books, for sure !!!!!
[/QUOTE]Bill, I believed in this team in April. They showed their character and nature early on as a team where every player would contribute to victory. It was not about getting hot, it was about the way they functioned as a team. And this was very evident in the playoffs, especially against the great starting pitchers of the Tigers. The Sox always found a way to win, even when it appeared they could not. An amazing team that I embraced from the beginning. They weren't the most talented team ever, but they were the most resourceful.

Devil, list the years for the Red Sox teams you "didn't believe in" in April of each season you have been following the Red Sox. Is this like blind faith, where this year was just different for the other Red Sox seasons in April? Or do you use your inate powers to judge team character and chemistry based on your set of values?
Just curious how you felt in April about the 2011 Red Sox, and other years. Did you "believe in them in April" in regard to the 2011 Red Sox team?

Posts here or anywhere else should be judged entirely on the arguments presented, and not with regard to whether the poster is "liked" or "disliked". I don't fear any poster here enough to desperately try to get them banned. If they post trash, the community here will correctly label it so, and that will be that. If a poster regularly posts trash, they will be read less and less and even placed on ignore in extreme cases. It all works out. To the pro banning crowd I would posit this: Has softy EVER posted something interesting? Something you my have even disagreed with, but that presented a cogent argument stimulating debate here? If the answer is yes, and I personally believe it to be so, then he should be left alone. If he posts truly objectionable material, the mods will be all over it. If he merely posts items you DISAGREE with-win your argument! Use logic, a grasp of the facts, and your superior wit to defeat his views. The collective body of readers here will quickly determine a winner, which is as it should be. I don't dispute that calling people silly names like "crack heads",etc. is wrong. I just note with amusement that many calling for softlaw to be perm banned, have engaged in the EXACT same behaviors. It's human nature to excuse our own failings while excoriating others who exhibit the same. But it's still hypocrisy!
Softlaw....you ol' mule you! I once again encourage you to rejoin the civilized world of ideas sharing. You have soooo much to offer!! While I disagree with much of what you say, you know I have always fought for your right to say it. Freedom of speech is our most sacred right, for it is from that well that all other rights spring. Someday I'd like to see the name "Softlaw" return to the forum...albeit with some improvements in how you engage in debate. Maybe it'll never happen. But I'd like to see it!

In response to redsoxandguitars' comment:
Actually Stiff One, as you well know, I called it all the way back in May. I said unequivocally that the Red Sox would finish X + (X + 20) = 162, or 91 - 71, plus 20. At the time, YOU argued that "with the over-bloated payroll, the Red Sox SHOULD finish + 20 games over .500, but that THEY ABSOLUTELY WOULDN'T!" You went on to say, "that with this bunch of LOSER RETREADS the Sox could even finish 12 games behind the pathetic Yankee."
I made my prediction based on the well rounded, non-overpriced prima donnas, lunchbox roster that BC had constructed. You called BC a loser of epic proportions. You railed for months about RS management "blowing well over a billion on pathetic rosters." You claimed that "the 2013 Red Sox were one of the worst examples of blowing big $$$$ on washed up LOSERS, and that they would NEVER make the post-season."
You may want to go back to pretending to be a lawyer, as your pretend gm days are clearly over! You are perhaps the biggest loser in virtual Red Sox armchair GM history. Keep changing names, but you'll never live 2013 down. We will continute to enjoy spanking you for your foolish predictions. :)

On a serious note.....
It would be nice if Stiffy would renounce his gay bashing & race baiting ways. For those who ignore his clear history on this score & continue to blow smoke up his backside??? Singing his praises on how much he has to offer here??? I just don't get you folks. It's bizzare! Some have a strong need to seek approval from this clown, despite his clear record on gay bashing & race baiting????
In Stiffy's defense, he seems to have learned where the line has been drawn on those scores, & runs right up to the line & spits over it. For those who ignore his CLEAR history on these issues, I have to question why you choose to do so? I love to debate & make the guy look foolish to this day, but those of you who keep slapping him on the back "for his prescient baseball knowledge" floor me. Bright guys who continue this line........ Even bright liberal guys, who one might expect to loath this baser comments on social issues???? BIZZARO WORLD :)

you need to "get up wind from the crystal meth' lab in your SCAP housing basement."
I'm not insulted by it.
Joe, you shouldn't be, since it's your very words in that quote that I'm lampooning. You attempted to insult me with that very childish phrase. Posters should know that, while I'm not softlaw, I can relate to the ad hom fashion in which posers whine about him.
Joe, you should not insult people with that prhase. Admit it, apologize for it, and let's move on.
Oh, and Joe, 4 years and 50 millon for the younger Morales isn't nearly as amusing as 3 years and 39 million for degenerate hip diseased and the older Napoli who needs to try hitting in Safeco on a full-time basis.
[/QUOTE]1-That is not my quote you are referring to.
2-Your position on Morales has nothing to do with Napoli. It is equivalent of saying the Crawford signing is okay simple because it is not as bad as the Pujols signing.
3-Morales did not suffer from playing at Safeco. His home OPS is higher than his road OPS
If you want to continue to insist that $50M is a good number for Morales, and that his DH 'skills', such as they are, are a good fit for the Red Sox, people will continue to make fun of your opinions.
And I can do this all day. I know you're smart enough to know that your Morales suggestion is utterly ridiculous. However, the more you bring it up, the more posters will identify with you with Morales.
And I am willing to discuss $50M for morales all day long, and as often as you like.

[/QUOTE]Yes, it was a tight race much of the way. But the Red Sox were the one team that won games in such a way that made me optimistic they would be in the fight until the end. Did I know they would win it all? Of course not. But that doesn't mean I didn't believe in them. Believing in a team simply means you like the way they play the game and have faith they will achieve some level of success. Given the fact that little was expected, this is the most satisfying championship for me and the most inspiring Red Sox team.

yes it is Joe, it was you who childishly used "crystal meth" as an insult attempt. I'm quite your 2 readers saw it.
No, it is not. Just point out the thread where I used 'crystal meth', and it will be resolved.
He most certainly did, when compared to someone who plays 82 games in Fenway. Joe.
Morales' OPS at Safeco was higher than on the road. Napoli had a higher OPS on the road than at Fenway.
Just as an aside, there is no need for you to always be wrong on the stats. They are pretty easy to look up.
My Morales suggestion isn't remotely ridiculous ( in fact, when his 3 or 4 year base 13 contract is signed I'll remind you of your Peavy for Bulter delusion),, but your Peavy for Butler is delusional. You aren't smart enough to know that
There is a fairly easy remedy for this. I will wager you that Morales does not get $50M. The loser signs off until opening day. Any interest, or will you simply write a 500-word essay on nothing as a meams to distract from your inanity?

Olympic gold medal heading to Orlová (Translation)
14 February 2011
Orlová, February 11, 2011 - Local hockey fans will have the opportunity to see a real Olympic medal in Orlová. Radegast, in cooperation with the Orlová Hockey Club, are organising an evening with David Moravec, a member of the team that won a gold medal in Nagano. Hockey fans will have an opportunity to have their picture taken with the hockey player and the medal, and will also get a chance to win hockey equipment from the Radegast hockey collection. The event will take place in the hockey arena in Orlová on Monday, February 14th, at 7 p.m.

Hockey fans from Orlová also have a chance to win many prizes from the Radegast hockey collection.
"As part of Radegast Supports Moravian Hockey, we want to offer hockey fans many special experiences. To see an Olympic medal in person is a unique experience that isn't possible every day," said manager of the Radegast brand, Pavel Kmínek.

12 political photos that made us look twice in 2013
Politics are often all about words. Debating, orating, writing, crafting reams of legislation. But sometimes, politics are, simply, an image -- perhaps one that makes us stop, stare, wonder ... or gasp. From Syria to South Africa, from Texas to California, from a child to a queen, these are some of the photos, among the thousands of images we see every day, that helped tell the story of politics in 2013. --Sara Lessley

A purge in North Korea( Yonhap / AFP / Getty Images / December 13, 2013 )
Jang Song Taek, the uncle of the secretive 30-ish North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, was dramatically removed last week from a special party session by armed guards.
Calling him "despicable human scum," the state then summarily executed the man who had mentored his nephew during the transition after the death of his dictator father Kim Jong Il.
In his two years in power so far, observes The Times, Kim Jong Un has invested "the country's scarce resources in water slides, roller coasters, ski slopes and a 'dolphinarium.' "
We might dismiss it as eccentric, except that North Korea has that nuclear arsenal.

Saraha and Virupa don't "object" to those practices--they are indicating that they are often mistaken for the actual "Mahamudra," which is, in fact, a "result." But just because Saraha's song, for instance, talks about being misled or losing one's way in bliss, etc., doesn't mean those techniques are not valid methods on the path to the result. I guarantee that those methods were valued by Saraha and Virupa, and the other Mahasiddas as well.
You are absolutely right.
The point that I want to make clear actually is people mesh up Mahamudra and consort practice or deity yoga.
If we just talk about Mahamudra alone, it itself is free from all those stuff.
The pure Mahamudra is nicely summarized by
Mahamudra: The Moonlight -- Quintessence of Mind and Meditation
Dakpo Tashi Namgyal
He explained to you the complete step and all of errors in Mahamudra practice from zero to the way to realize buddhahood.
You won't be able to find any single word like consort or energy.
THat is pure Mahamudra.
But when we move to Tantric Mahamudra, things are already different, because it already enhanced or mixed up with deity yoga, ceremony, etc.
I am fully agree with you that Saraha and Virupa do not truely object the practice of Tantra to be combined with Mahamudra.
BUt if we mesh it up thinking Tantra practice is Mahamudra, consort practice is Mahamudra, Tummo is Mahamudra, they reject it.

100% of customers would recommend this product to a friend (5 out of 5)
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: - It is an extremely flexible and well built; - Works perfect on my 60D; - Allows much better stability and provides alternative grips for your camera; - Possible to attach few accessories on the handles; - Very easy to use and multifunctional; - Very cheap; - Ligh weight
Cons: - Not found very comfortable to put on shoulder
Other: Not a professional equipment, but solves the problem in low budget productions. Great product for that price, i totally recommend it!
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Good price, usefull, multi function, versatil, compact, ligh weight.
Cons: Not very easy to use. Actually, pretty much harder to use than the picture in the owner's guide. All the screws seems a little low quality and looks like they won't last too long.
Other: Not a professional equipment, but solves the problem. A shoulder rig for begginers, very helpfull in low budget productions. You wont regret it. Worth giving a try.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: It is an extremely flexible, well built, and light rig to use with a DSLR or prosumer camcorder. I use it with a Canon 60D and it works pretty well for shoulder work (much better than handheld). Allows much better stability and provides alternative grips for your camera. Possible to attach few accessories on the handles (there are some 1/8" threads).
Cons: The handles for the articulated joints are somewhat loose, and flimsy. I'm sure that if I screw them tight enough by hand, they'd crack, and I'm afraid that over time, some threads might get looser (it's cheaper than a Shape equivalent rig for a reason... ). Definetly only for light camera load. Forget heavy long lenses and lots of attachments (monitor, sound recorder, microphone), it's not heavy enough and stiff enough. Longer to setup than more expensive rig.
Other: Definetly recommended if you have room in your accessory case, or if you do really light video work. Could help give much better look to material shot with compact camera. Bought it when it was 85$, now it's even much better value.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: He is very good and useful, provides a variety of ways, and is giving good to use with any type of camera.
Cons: - Is hard to find a suitable position to use - Not found very comfortable to put on shoulder
Other: Although I have not completely adapted, is useful. I use a Canon T3i with and is very good to use with a viewfinder
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Great control over DSLR, a lot of possibility's and different rig build up. Easy to use and very cheap for shoulder rig. But very stable and comfortable. You get the hex key so you can transform the rig into different position for different recording, very cool.
Cons: Build quality is not very good. Screw's are very low quality and they outwear after short time. Those hex based screw's just become circle and you can not tight them again.You would have to replace those over time with something better thats for sure.
Other: Great product for that price, i totally recommend it!

Then sell it to someone who will, I mean, that's what they are for.......
I'm new here and not a gun-toting dude.
I just got my Kimber solo an hour ago. I went to Cabela to buy a fishing reel for the opening.
I overheard the salesman talking about 1 solo delivered at the back .
I drop my fishing reel and asked the guy if I can look at it. I did not give him a chance to open the new box
and gve my credit card to pay it. He said I'm lucky to have it 'cause there are few who are looking but ran out of patience & picked another gun to buy.
My first gun - I hope I don't use it!!
Then sell it to someone who will, I mean, that's what they are for.......
I hope you don't have to use it (in self defense) either, but take it to the range and give it a whirl! Congratulations, the Second Amendment is a GREAT privilege!
what i meant.....i hope no one cross my path premeditated - rapist - serial - felon - drunk - high & invade my home & my family...atleast i have one chance.
i lived in the northeast community (new england area) through out my life, 365 days my house & cars are unlocked. I don't remember a crime or murder happened in my little town.
About 3 years ago, I bought a vacation house in south miami - a few minutes away from key largo. what a different place - Beautiful house, waterfront - sunshine
but invironment a little different - i don't feel secure. Solo came to my mind.
Have you fired it yet?
I really don't know the zhyte behind kimber's marketing. Does not make sense at all.
Had one a while back when it first came out and didn't like it.
Not the best choice for a first handgun IMO, but hopefully you like it.
Welcome to the forum and congrads on the gun purchase. May you never have to use it but what a sense of security
i know, not everyone will like kimber.
however, my friend bought a Karh Pm9 yesterday - i like the look and the durability(that everyone were saying) but i like the size & feel of the kimber.
Neat gun! Solo's are very difficult to find around my area. Congratulations on your score!
Take it to the range and shoot it and let us know how you like it. Be mindful of the ammunition requirements. If you aren't happy, you can always sell it for every dime that you paid.
New Kimber Solo owner
I am going to be brutally honest and you are not going to like what I have to say but if you bought the Kimber Solo to protect your loved ones box it up and beg Cabelas for a store credit. I have shot a Kimber Solo and I speak from first hand experience when I say the Kimber Solo is a disaster. Reliability is zero and I am nor exaggerating. I am an experienced shooter and I was unable to fire successfully one round with out the paper weight jaming.
Read reviews from other shooters who have fired the Kimber Solo. I don't find a handful of internet reviews much credence but when the reports are virtually all the same in the negative you have to listen.
Sorry for the reality but it is a disservice to you if the truth was kept from you.
I have heard that the Solo can be very particular about what it is fed, and that is stated in the owner's manual. That being said, all new designs can experience initial problems. For me, it is how the manufacturer handles those issues that determine the quality of the company. AND... whether or not I would buy their products in the future.
OP, If you receive a problematic Solo...send it back to Kimber for them to rectify it.
Well, I'm aware of the solo problem and also aware that some are very happy.
I called Kimber 3 weeks before I acquired my solo. I spoke to one of the customer service. I've been told not to use less than 124 period & follow the instructions!
He also mentioned kimber are not taking the problem for granted -- but short of telling me they've done some correction & adjustment on the later solo.
I'm hoping my serial number is in the new batch they implied they've done some correction.
.....ok, I did some shooting today (4/6) with my new solo using the prescribed ammo (between 124 to 147 grain).
so far so good and no issue. I shoot a box of 124 grain then 2 boxes of 125 grain. No failure.......yet!
My grouping are zhyte -- I can't figure how to correct/adjust my aiming -- to be honest, I don't have a grouping yet.
Congrats and enjoy it. My Solo CDP has been perfect as well.
All this talk about your new, and apparently, hard to get gun, and still no pics????? Shame, shame, shame....
Sounds like your Solo is good to go, Solo.
Yes, we are going to need some pix of that gun. I really think they look great.
.....they are all the same but when I get to Florida, I will take picture, I arranged a transfer from one state to another (FFL (Federal Firearms License)
I'll agree that the Solo may not be a perfect 'first' gun, but it is blessed with great ergonomics, trigger and sights. It takes a fair amount of handstrength to cycle the slide, but the gun is willing to chamber the first round without drama. Some pistols require a really aggressive slide wrack, but the Solo will pick up the first round as long as the slide is pulled far enough to the rear to strip it off.
Russ, whatever issues the early guns may have had, mine has been reliable as gravity from the first magazine. It has fed absolutely everything from the premium, heavy defense ammo recommended in the manual to WWB, 115 reloads, and snakeshot. As small guns go, it is very 'shootable'.
For the OP, the proof is in the pudding. Take your gun out and shoot it; see how you do. If you are unhappy, post it on Gunbroker and move on, but I'm guessing that won't be your choice. The two Solos I'm aware of personally have been stone reliable and accurate.
congrats on your purchase.I hope you are happy with it.I dont know your skill level but check into a class maybe.If you are new to firearms a class will keep you from forming bad habits.Enjoy your new weapon.
sku makes a good point; it is a tough pistol for a 'first'; think seriously about getting some training. The combination of heavy slide wrack and relatively light trigger, with a relatively small gripping surface, means you have to be aware of where all your fingers are when you chamber a round.
In your favor are good sights and an easy trigger; but you still might want to look for a .22 for working on the fundamentals.
I own 2 Solo's one for the wife and one for me! No problems after 500+ rounds! All the talk of premium ammo and I did shoot premium ammo the first couple of hundred rounds. Both guns eat my 125 gr reloads without missing a beat. Very nice summertime pocket gun! I like to carry my 1911 when I can wear enough cloths to conceal it. While I am sure all brands can have a problem you will find many people who put down Kimber's and most of them don't own one they just repeat what they have heard from others. The Solo has been sold out in my state and the dealer I go to was back ordered over 600 of the plain model and 300 of the laser grip model. They are just now getting caught up. I had to wait from December 2011 to May of 2012 for mine. If the were as bad and some report they wouldn't sell very many. Have fun at the range and if you have a problem please let us know!
Okay, mine cooked up some kind of extraction issue; spent casing left partway out of the chamber, slide flung far enough to the rear to pick up the next round, which became jammed under the first one in a double feed jam.
Sent the pistol back to Kimber; gone two weeks, and returned (apparently) fixed. Gun was back to its old habits of eating about anything I fed it, including WWB 115s and 115 reloads, along with a couple mags of 124 Gold Dots.
Repairs consisted of adjusting the extractor and polishing the chamber; shot the snot out of it the other night without a single problem
For the OP, the Solo was never meant to be a target gun; try shooting it at 'combat' distance; aka, 21', and draw slowly and deliberately on the trigger until it goes bang. Ever shoot a revolver double action? Shoot the solo the same way.
Congrats and enjoy
Half moon - what does adjusting the extractor mean - how is that accomplished? I have the identical issue! Half out of the chamber.
Congrats on your new Solo! I disagree on folks that think it's not an "ideal" first gun. If it's going to be your self-defense gun and you practice with it and become familiar with it. Why would it not be a good "first" gun? Why would a different gun be better? Any gun should be a personal choice not influenced by unknown people on the internet. If if you like it, great; if you don't, sell it. Good luck with it and shoot it often.

Wednesday, May 30, 2012
An episode of detective drama Sherlock featuring actress Lara Pulver nude is the most-watched show on the BBC iPlayer so far this year.
The programme - the first edition of the second series screened on New Year's Day - drew around 100 complaints from viewers offended by the nudity.
But new figures released by the BBC show the programme was way ahead of all others in the period from January to April of this year.
The episode, called A Scandal In Belgravia, featured Pulver as Irene Adler, filming one notable scene entirely naked except for her high heel shoes.
It was seen 2.5 million times on the iPlayer - 600,000 more than the next most popular show, which was the third instalment of the drama series.
Sherlock proved to be a massive draw in general, taking all of the top three places in the most-watched list.
Top Gear's India Special, EastEnders and Hustle are among the other shows to feature in the top 10.

Parathyroid cancer is a cancerous (malignant
) growth in a parathyroid gland.
Parathyroid carcinoma
The parathyroid glands manage the calcium
levels in the body. There are four parathyroid glands, two on top of each lobe of the thyroid gland. They are located at the base of the neck.
Parathyroid cancer is an extremely rare type of cancer. Men and women are equally affected. It usually occurs in people older than 30.
The cause of parathyroid cancer is unknown. People with a genetic condition called multiple endocrine neoplasia type I
have an increased risk for this disease. People who had head or neck radiation may also be at increased risk. Such radiation exposure, however, is more likely to cause thyroid cancer.
Symptoms of parathyroid cancer are mainly caused by high levels of calcium in the blood (hypercalcemia
), and may affect different parts of the body. They include:
Parathyroid cancer is very hard to diagnose.
Your doctor will perform a physical exam and ask about your medical history.
About half of the time, feeling the neck with the hands (palpation
) can reveal a cancerous parathyroid tumor.
Cancerous parathyroid tumors tend to produce very high amounts of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Tests for this hormone may include:
Before surgery, you will have a special radioactive scan of the parathyroid glands. The scan is called the sestamibi scan. You may also have a neck ultrasound
. These tests are done to confirm which parathyroid gland is abnormal.
The following treatments may be used to correct hypercalcemia due to parathyroid cancer:
Surgery is the recommended treatment for parathyroid cancer. Sometimes it may be hard to determine whether a parathyroid tumor is cancerous. Your doctor may recommend surgery even without a confirmed diagnosis. Minimally invasive surgery, using smaller cuts, is becoming more common for parathyroid disease.
If tests before the surgery can find the affected gland, surgery may be done on one side of the neck (unilateral). If it is not possible to find the problem gland before surgery, the surgeon will look at both sides of your neck.
Chemotherapy and radiation do not work very well in preventing the cancer from coming back, although radiation can sometimes help reduce the spread of cancer to the bones. Repeated surgeries for cancer that has returned may increase survival rate and reduce the severe effects of hypercalcemia.
Parathyroid cancer is a rare cancer. The tumor is slow growing. Surgery may help extend life even when the cancer spreads.
The cancer may spread (metastasize) to other places in the body, most commonly the lungs and bones.
The most serious complication of parathyroid cancer is hypercalcemia. Most deaths from parathyroid cancer occur as a result of severe, difficult to control hypercalcemia, and not the cancer itself.
The cancer commonly comes back (recurs). Additional surgeries may be needed. Complications from surgery can include:

Having a gun when you really need it trumps everything. Statistically the cops usually show up when everything is over.
If you're late joining the "rights movement" you can begin taking a stand by voting in the upcoming elections. Is the person seeking office Pro-ObamaCare and/or Anti-Gun? If either applies, don't vote for them!
"I think having a gun at home when you have children is really dumb."
I think trying to get government to infringe upon the right to keep and bear arms which you know they're not allowed to do is really dumb. Having a gun to protect your children in real-time rather than wait ten minutes to an hour and a half for someone else with a gun is pretty durn smart, actually. YOU'RE dumb.
Not a troll, an American patriot with a cool head and sense of reason.This is not going to be a win if the militia just hunkers down in an indefensible position and waits to get slaughtered, which is what they're currently doing. The best defense is a good offense, and having thrown their lot in with a lawbreaker, the militia's options are limited. They need to actively and aggressively pursue a resolution to this action. Their haste and zeal led to this extended commitment to guard Bundy for an indeterminate amount of time, a duty that can't go on forever. They have to find a way out before the BLM shows up and provides their own. Preferably one that puts the militia back on the side of right One man's advice, they can take it or leave it as they like, it's their lives.
Legalizing Marijuana will not create an influx of impaired drivers our roads. It will not create an influx of professionals (doctors, pilots, bus drivers, etc..) stoned on the job either. This is a prohibitionist propaganda scare tactic.
Truth: Responsible drivers don't drive while intoxicated on any substance period! Irresponsible drivers are already on our roads, and they will drive while intoxicated regardless of their drug of choice's legality. Therefore Legalizing Marijuana will have little to zero impact on the amount of stoned drivers on our roads.
The same thing applies to people being high on the job. Responsible people do not go to work intoxicated, period. Regardless of their drug of choice's legality.
There is absolutely no doubt now that the majority of Americans want to completely legalize marijuana nationwide. Our numbers grow on a daily basis.
The prohibitionist view on marijuana is the viewpoint of a minority of Americans.. It is based upon decades of lies and propaganda.
Each and every tired old lie they have propagated has been thoroughly proven false by both science and society.
Their tired old rhetoric no longer holds any validity. The majority of Americans have seen through the sham of marijuana prohibition in this day and age. The number of prohibitionists left shrinks on a daily basis.
With their credibility shattered, and their not so hidden agendas visible to a much wiser public, what's left for a marijuana prohibitionist to do?
Maybe, just come to terms with the fact that Marijuana Legalization Nationwide is an inevitable reality that's approaching much sooner than prohibitionists think, and there is nothing they can do to stop it!
Legalize Nationwide!…and Support All Marijuana Legalization Efforts!

Narrow your search
New software developer kit removes apps' ability to access the unique string of numbers that individually identifies each cellular device.
A hacker group claims to have hacked its way to the device ID and user details of 12 million Apple iOS devices. Learn how to find the Unique Device Identifier (UDID) for your device(s) to see if your information has been compromised.
A small mobile publishing company called BlueToad says the Apple UDIDs leaked last week came from an illegal intrusion into its network last week, an admission that contradicts AntiSec's claims about the FBI.
The publishing of 1 million anonymized Apple UDIDs allegedly found on an FBI agent's computer brought AntiSec's actions front and center. With denials from Apple and the FBI, you might think it's over. Not so fast.
MoPub, a mobile ad server, has conducted a study in which it found that apps that have been rejected due to Apple's new UDID restrictions have cost developers 24 percent in revenue.
According to a report from karthikk.net, developers who have sold UDID slots to other developers who are not officially enrolled in Apple's iOS Developer Program are finding their accounts on the brink of being banned.
According to a new report, mobile ad networks are able to track user behavior on iOS through the Open Device Identification Number (ODIN) to more effectively target ads.
In an effort to boost user privacy, starting May 1 the tech giant will no longer accept new apps that access UDIDs. All new apps also must support iPhone 5 and Retina display.
With privacy concerns at the forefront of many tech industry blogs, not to mention investigations from Congress, Apple has begun rejecting apps that access UDIDs.
Instead of seeing the support page for the popular messaging app, users see a banner that says, "Dear All Viber Users, the Israeli-based 'Viber' is spying and tracking you."

We might not all have jetpacks or lightsabers yet, but Star Wars has in fact influenced technology that benefit us all whether it's entertaining us in our home or turning us into functional cyborgs. Yay!
FoxNews.com reports:
In 1977, the idea of chopping down the bad guys with a beam of light, or playing a game with 3D aliens, or even sending a holographic e-mail to a mysterious recluse on Tatooine seemed like futuristic concepts. Yet, these concepts are now becoming a reality -– real products that serve a useful purpose, research projects meant to show how the tech works, and games that fulfill the Star Wars dream.
One of the most interesting of the technologies includes the advances in body prosthetics.
Touch Bionics has developed the i-LIMB Pulse bionic hand, which reads myoelectric signals (tiny electric pulses in your arm) and sends them to a mechanical hand. The latest version, released this summer, even works with your computer and Bluetooth wireless signals, so you can tweak the algorithms for sensitivity and control five fingers independently for grabbing objects.
