A lumbosacral spine x-ray
is a picture of the small bones (vertebrae) in the lower part of the spine, which includes the lumbar region and the sacrum, the area that connects the spine to the pelvis.
X-ray - lumbosacral spine; X-ray - lower spine
The test is done in a hospital x-ray department or your health care provider's office by an x-ray technician. You will be asked to lie on the x-ray table in different positions. If the x-ray is being done to diagnose an injury, care will be taken to prevent further injury.
The x-ray machine will be placed over the lower part of your spine. You will be asked to hold your breath as the picture is taken so that the image will not be blurry. Usually three to five pictures are taken.
Inform the health care provider if you are pregnant. Remove all jewelry.
There is rarely any discomfort when having an x-ray, although the table may be cold.
Often, a health care provider will treat a person with low back pain for 4 to 8 weeks before ordering an x-ray.
The most common reason for lumbosacral spine x-ray is to look for the cause of low back pain that:
Lumbosacral spine x-rays may show:
Though some of these findings may be seen on an x-ray, they are not always caused by a person's back.
Many problems in the spine cannot be diagnosed using a lumbosacral x-ray, including:
There is low radiation exposure. X-ray machines are checked on a regular basis to make sure they are as safe as possible. Most experts feel that the risk is low compared with the benefits.
Pregnant women should not be exposed to radiation, if at all possible. Care should be taken before children receive x-rays.
There are a number of back problems that an x-ray will not detect because they involve the muscles, nerves, and other soft tissues. A lumbosacral spine CT
or lumbosacral spine MRI are better options for soft tissue disorders.

April 21, 2014. Cap and Ball Loaders. Um, most of you noticed, they have been here a month or so, now. In stock, shipping both here and abroad (Thanks, all you Australians, and everyone else, too!). It seems y'all are buying one most every day. Thanks! Oh, and we are not out of our C&B Loaders.
April 10, 2014. Swiss 3Fg is gone. We went to the shelf, grabbed the last cans, and now we don't have any more to sell. We ordered more, but we haven't gotten it in yet, so we are out of stock, as Jerry likes to put it. But, um, we have another emty shelf. RWS #11 caps. Out of stock. Yep, we went to the shelves for caps, and those #11 RWS caps are gone. We are keeping the shelves ready, for both the RWS #11 caps and for the Swiss FFFg, but all we have to put there, for now, is a hope, and maybe a post-it note that says "on order", which won't help anyone, until those trucks get here. RWS #11 caps, Swiss FFFg, we just watch for that truck. Sorry.
April 9, 2014. Filler. We had some. We still got some. I put up a page again, so we can sell filler. You use this with the Cap and Ball loader, or for reloading cartridges, when you want a black powder load short of "full" in the casing. The filler lets you top up and seat the ball or bullet firmly, at the place you want. Filler it's back.
March 28, 2014. Cap and ball cylinder loaders -- getting closer. We are taking orders. Really. We expect a batch in come Monday, or so. So we will be shipping Cap and Ball Cylinder Loaders next week. If you buy one, that is. Oh, and I got around to cleaning up the web page, so online orders work, now. C & B Cylinder Loaders. A dozen sold; a hunderd arriving. (Hey, this is Arkansas, not Fifth Ave. Marketing Specialties and Novelties, esq., LLC!)
March 18, 2014. Cap and ball cylinder loaders. We got some samples, and they look good. Really good. Maybe not good like a tropical island sunset, but sort of like a well balanced hammmer in a skilled blacksmith's hand kind of looking good. There are some price adjustments, and I will get the page up real soon now. One change is the brass thingy (Jerry and Naomi call it a "pin") that sets in the center of the stage for the cylinder to rotate about. The C & B Cylinder Loader still comes with the basic two pins (brass thingies), but now we offer an optional third pin for Walker and Dragoon cylinders. The optional pin (brass thingy) is $5 extra, if you buy it with the Cylinder Loader, and $8 if you order separately. I can't wait to see the new C&B Cylinder Loader page. Oh. I guess, really, I need to finish it. Sorry. Cylinder loaders, almost here.
March 17, 2014. Sorry. There was a message, but I didn't get it. So I blocked the CCI 0301 musket caps, as I was directed. So you cannot buy the CCI #0301 musket caps from us, at least online, for now. Often when this happens, it is because we ran out, and just plain don't feel right about selling stuff we don't have. Usually. But then, I didn't get the message, so I am just guessing why we shouldn't be selling more CCI #301 musket caps online. CCI 301 musket caps, blocked.
March 14, 2014. Jerred's surgery went well, he progresses now to a few days recovery before returning home. Therapy to restore range of motion to the shoulder, etc., will likely be intense, but should help get that glass of milk within reach.
February 27, 2014. Closed March 13. We won't be here. Jerred has some remedial surgery to improve motion of his left arm and hand -- they plan several skin grafts and releasing scar tissues. So we will be waiting with Jerred on that day. Don't expect the phones to answer on March 13, 'cause we will be at the hospital, praying for just another routine(!?) miracle, as his healing and recovery continues.
January 9, 2014. Just a bit more splash from the New Year. Bumped caps prices a buck or two -- and we also got CCI Musket and #11 Mag caps in today. We are still waiting on the CCI #10 amd #11 Regular caps. Sorry. CCI caps in, caps prices bumped up by shipping cost increases.
January 2, 2014. We're back! Hope your holidays were safe and filled with joy! Um, we noticed that we were blocking the 3F Scheutzen powders, um, for no real reason, since we got some in, and, well, really, we hope to sell it . . . now that it is here. You know? So, just thought we would mention that we have Scheutzen powder in F, FF, and FFF g, all ready to go. And, since we checked, it looks like the Diamondback won't be back. Sorry. It has been gone for a while, now, so it isn't like a cherished friend just disappeared, but still, not being able to look forward to the friend's retun (Diamondback 2F and 3F powders, that is) is a little sad. Bye, Diamondback! We gots Scheutzen FFFg! Have prosperous New Year!
December 31, 2013. New year's prices, as of now. Sorry, if you were planning that last-minute, last-year-prices spree — it is already 2014 in the Powder, Inc. price list. The changes vary from a five pound order of GOEX 1F ($24.40 per pound, from $23.50 on 2013) to a twenty five (25) pound order of Swiss 4F ($22.60 per pound, from $22.40 in 2013). That is, the changes in price add up, but aren't too awful scary. New year, new prices. Hooray. Blessed be to all!
December 23, 2013. Fuse. Our fuse ran out. Fizzled out on us. The 65 foot rolls of 2.2 mm (just under 3/32nd inch), 33 seconds-per-foot, water resistant safety fuse rolled off the shelf, the last of them. For now. We plan on getting more 65 foot rolls, but haven't gotten any in, yet. So we stopped selling the 65 foot rolls of safety fuse, until, you know, we actually have some to sell. We still have the 20 foot rolls of safety fuse, and also still have rolls of the way fast fuse, too. But not the 65 foot rolls of safety fuse. For now.
December 4, 2013. Jerred is doing fine, walking more, gets into vehicles without help, he is getting more use from his hands — and going for his daily hour-and-forty mintues of therapy. Ouch. Thanks, again, for the support, prayers, and good wishes. We, all of us, appreciate that.
December 4, 2013. The rumors are flying 'round here. We have been checking into getting some more of our Cap and Ball loaders out there -- and it has not happened. Yet. Maybe, we might have a lead, but we gots none. And, when we get some, we will let y'all know. Promise. No new C&B Loaders. Yet.
October 11, 2013. They let Jerred out of the (second, rehab) hospital today, and he is settling in with his family now at home. There are a couple of little things, like rehab five days a week for the next while and a home nurse visit seven days a week to help care for a few remaining spots. They are still managing the healing to minimuize scars, but he is getting closer to that cold glass of milk all by himself! That, and he is home with his wife and kids. It has been a long time getting this far, and today's routines seem like blessings, compared to the hospital time with all the initial worries. It will be a couple of months for healing to progress and for rehab to wind down, but it sure is good to have the boy back home.
October 7, 2013. Um, Jerred got a day-pass. We had him home last Saturday, for the day. Let's see, there was something else. Oh, yeah. Wah-Hoo!!1! Yeah, we are getting closer to having Jerred home, where he will continue his rehab as an outpatient. He is coming along well, but still has what they call "range of motion goals to attain". Heck, how can he enjoy a good, cold glass of milk when he has trouble bending his elbows, yet? His therapist claims another month of bending, twisting, "just a bit more", and he will be enjoying life a bit more freely. After all the chores Jerred missed this summer, Mama is determined that the boy will be able and ready to do them Thanksgiving Day dishes. 'Cause there will be a bunch of us with a bunch to be thankful for. Jerred, getting closer to getting home. (Yay!)
September 6, 2013. Jerred is progressing well in rehab, healing is progressing nicely. It looks like another three-four weeks of therapy as he works, hard, on regaining strength and agility with his hands; the rest seems to be on track. Go Jerred!
August 26, 2013. Pardon us as we accompany Jerred on a move today -- he leaves his burn trauma unit to a new hospital, to a rehab unit today. Rehab is a lot less scary, if more work, than burn trauma, and a major leap along the road to recovery. Not that, not-quite-soon-enough, we look forward to having Jerred home again and let him learn the role of "out patient". Well, maybe we look forward to full recovery, just a little bit. Happy Monday!
August 15, 2013. Yesterday's surgery for Jerred went well, he is back up and gaining strength. Evidently this was number seven (7!) of the planned five major surgeries. Ahem. Current plan is a week or two recovering, followed by two to four weeks of rehab, then we look forward to bailing him out of that hospital with all it's blessings!
Augist 12, 2013. Jerred is doing well, walking the halls again, regaining his strength. His last major, inpatient surgery is scheduled for Wednesday. We expect several minor procedures over the next year for minor corrections, but recovery is proceeding very nicely. It will be more than good to have Jerred home again, where family belongs.
August 5, 2013. This month is looking good! We have powder on hand, shipping to catch up on orders, and Jerred was moved out of ICU this past weekend!
July 31, 2013. Great news on Jerred -- not much change! Jerred continues to heal, his lungs are clearing nicely, his skin grafts are doing well, just slow, steady progress. We look forward to getting Jerred moving about again, now that his lungs are clearing --- of course, we would also like to see him skipping and dancing on home, yet we feel blessed with where we are today. Thanks to everyone for your good wishes and prayers!
July 26, 2013. Old Eynsford, available now to order online. That's right. You no longer have to wait 'til Jerry and company get their morning coffee and you gots your work britches hitched up to order 'Old E' in 1.5F, 2F, and 3F granulations. Now you can order right during lunch time, or after supper, or at three in the A. M. in your skivvies that might shoulda been replaced a couple-five washes back (this is seriously in the 'don't ask and please don't tell side of the conversation). We don't care, even, if the socks had holes when you put them on! GOEX premium Old Eynsford, now order online.
July 26, 2013. Not much news on Jerred, which is a blessing. He is recovering from the surgery, from the pneumonia. They are working on returning to the level of awareness and activity he enjoyed just a while back, and he just keeps on healing. Thanks for the prayers and kind wishes!
July 22, 2013. Jerred's pneumonia still lingers. He is holding his own, but is sedated again. The surgery Friday went very long for those of us waiting, but put skin grafts on his arms, shoulders, chest, and belly, and a couple of touchups on his hands. Jerred's doctors are pleased with how very much they got done Friday, and with how well Jerred is progressing. Each graft is progress, and significantly reduces the risk of infection, so all progress here is good news. Physical therapy includes an XBOX game controller (hand and finger strength and control) and making faces with his daughter (facial muscles and emotional support for all of us). We are blessed with each step of progress, and with his continued recovery.
July 8, 2013. Some days you eat the bears, some days the bears . . We had a rough few days with Jerred. Wednesday pneumonia put a crimp im plans. We got thtrough the worst by Sunday, and he is still improving. His doctors put on hold the next in his series of surgeries (five down, more to go) for skin grafts and managing the burns from May's accident. He is stable, now, but it will be a few days before they reduce the sedation again while he rests to complete fighting this infection. We had gotten used to expecting to miss the potholes and washouts in the road to recovery, it is sobering to realize that the journey isn't over until it is over. Thanks for your prayers and good wishes, as we appreciate even more the blessings that come our way.
June 24, 2013. July 4th. We are taking this holiday to celebrate liberty and the founding of America. And also to celebrate our family and our community. Maybe even let some fireworks or other display remind us that sometimes peace isn't arrived at peacefully. Much of the time our Constitution has blessed America with peace in our transitions from government to government, and in the way most of us stand for our voice, and our choices, in daily and in public life. Celebrating our hopes for the future through enjoying the tools of the past, including black powder shooting, isn't such a bad way to keep our focus on hope. And on healthy respect for duty, honor, loyalty, and courage. Anyway, we will be out of the office July 4-7, back July 8th. (Note July 1 update, we will close July 3rd, through the 7th.) Think "safety!" when traveling or enjoying fireworks.
June 17, 2013. Jerred is still recovering. He had a tough surgery last Wednesday, and is progressing well. He has been up and walking, some, and we look forward to getting the precautionary splints off that have been supporting his elbows and knees. Thanks again for the good wishes and prayers, for Jerred and for his wife and family.
June 17, 2013. A week. With Gettysburg coming up in a very short week-and-a-half (starts June 28th, in case anyone forgets their history, or even their travel plans), our orders have slowed a bit, and we are catching up with orders. Most savvy and old hands (or savvy, old hands, too, I guess) have their orders in and their powder on hand. But the caissons are loaded, and won't be waiting for no tail-end-Charlie. Yes, we are shipping orders now about a week after we get the order. But the days march on, and it is really, really tight, now, for last minute orders. At least for Gettysburg orders. If you want some powder on hand, now, we are shipping closer to our target 2-4 days than we have in a while. Which is a bit of a relief, actually. Because we don't like the long delays, if we can help it. Shipping, now, about a week after we get the order.
June 3, 2013. Happy Monday, all! We are working on getting orders shipped, trying to get caught up again. The news from the hospital is good, Jerred is sitting up, walking with assistance, and dreaming of when they let him drink a cool glass of fresh milk. The surgeries have gone well, again, and therapy proceeds. Thanks to our customers for your good wishes, and thanks to all our customers for your patience as we work to catch up with your orders.
May 18, 2013.Jerry tells me, "There was a serious accident at our plant on May 14 involving our younger son.
He was critically injured and is in Arkansas Childrens Hospital Burn Unit in Little Rock, AR.
He has had his first surgery and the doctors are amazed at his progress.
He is looking at several weeks in the hospital, and we expect a full recovery.
The out pouring of prayers, love and support from our customers have been overwhelming. We will report updates on his condition.
February 26, 2013. Scheutzen powders -- a belated Happy New Year! Prices up! Hah. Sorry, we just had to double-check that invoice from a couple weeks ago -- and the Scheutzen powder prices went up. So ours does, too. The price on Scheutzen powders - F, FF, FFF -- went up a whopping nickel a pound, for five (5) and ten (10) pound orders -- but the choker is the twenty five (25) and fifty (50) pound prices went up 55 cents a pound. We don't like surprising folks, and usually don't appreciate surprises ourselves, but this one was unexpected. Scheutzen, prices up.
February 21. 2013. Pinnacle 2F, gone. We couldn't get more from the maker, and so we stopped selling Pinnacle 2F, then we found a responsible fella with a goodly sized bunch of extra(!?) Pinnacle 2F on hand, and so we unexpectedly had more Pinnacle 2F. Until today (well, yesterday, I forgot to check my emails). So, until we find another goodly sized cache of Pinnacle 2F (at a wondrously profitable price), we are out of Pinnacle 2F. The Pinnacle 3F, now, if you are looking for 3F black powder substitute, we still have the Pinnacle 3F. Pinnacle 2F, gone.
February 11, 2013. Caps. Not the coon skin ("North American raccoon", that is) kind used to cover that top-notch, the muzzleloader kind. Caps. We are running low, with resupply sometime but we don't know quite when. We are hoping within a couple weeks, and we really hope it will be less than 3 1/2 years from now. (That's us. Hopeful.) Call to order caps ( Toll Free (877) 833-1799) while we have some left.
February 6, 2013. Diamondback 2F, breaking news. Well, news. OK, so an oversight. We are out (that part isn't news, we said that before, and haven't gotten more in [we would have mentioned that]). But we thought we would have some after the first of the year. I mean, we thought after the first of this year. And we don't. We don't have any, yet, that is. Because the first of the year, whether first day, or first month, that was a month ago. And we still don't have any. The thing is, the Diamondback 2F should be coming in when the 3F does. And, really, we don't have a good guess about when that is. It won't be this week, or likely this month, but surprises do happen, and we keep hoping. Until further news (or oversights, whatever), Diamondback 2F, still out.
January 1, 2013. Oops. Prices went up, mostly, today, for those ordering online. Because we are still partying and shooting anvils, er, maybe we are just resting and enjoying a bit of holiday. Whatever -- we will be back tomorrow, and those not ordering online can also order, and your prices will be the new and improved prices, too, with increased freight and manufacturer prices baked in! I noticed that we are getting closer to the Olde Eynsford as a real product, what with the prices listed, now. New year, new price list, Welcome! to 2013!
December 12, 2012. Olde Eynsford. Olde Eynsford. (Sorry, I swear there should be another "e" after the n, or something. But, no!) Olde Eynsford. There. Three times, typed correctly. I hope I got it, now. Anyway, GOEX has added Royal Blend, 1 1/2 F, Olde Eynsford to the list of fine GOEX® powders. (It goes "boom" with a bang, I guess. I haven't seen it yet.) GOEX claims "Olde Eynsford is ideal for cartridge and round ball competitors who demand precise shot placement at long distances". And, "Its uniformly tight grain size ensures consistent shot to shot performance .. higher velocities are attained with Olde Eynsford." Look for this premium GOEX® black powder "early in 2013".
October 26, 2012. Diamondback 3F and 2F -- out. Gone. We sold what we had, now we wait for our ship to come in. (I said ship, ship, with a "P", one of those boat things that sails the ocean from the US to, say, Brazil, and comes back with an order of, say, Diamondback powder. "Ship", I said, "ship". Sheesh.) And, no, we don't know what date our ship will come in. Last time it was almost a surprise when the phone rang and we heard, "Uh, were you the guys that wanted this DiamondBack powder?", and we said, "Yep. Drop it off anytime after, oh, about five minutes from now, OK?" So we don't have a guess about when we will have it. One thing I can do, is to let you know when it arrives. Because we will want to be selling it, right away, to folks that want to buy it, because that is just the kind of people we are. Diamondback FFFg & FFg, out.
September 17, 2012. 45-60 Jamison Brass -- we are out. We don't know when more will be available, and we cannot find a better story. We would like to have better news, or at least a better story. But we are out, and that is all we are sure of for now. That is all we are sure of, about the 45-60 Jamison Brass, that is. We know lots of other things, just not when the Jamison brass will be back in stock. 45-60 Jamison Brass, out. Sorry.
Office hours
Yes, we keep office hours, and answer the phone during those times. Office hours start at eight o'clock, Central time (like Chicago and Houston -- that is in Texas, you know -- and in Mt Ida, down in Montgomery County, AR). 'Cause we can get our eyes open with less coffee, then. We hope. Oh, and the coffee ran out early a couple weeks back on a Friday afternoon, and the vote was "Maybe next time." But we kinda got in the habit of early weekend hours on Friday. And we started closing at 4:00 P.M. on Fridays. Office hours, open at 8 a.m. instead of 7, early outs on Friday.
Safety fuse
We ship Shogun Safety Fuse to purchasers in the US. That is the good news. For those outside the US, you folks get the bad news, because we cannot afford to ship safety fuse outside the US. Sorry, people of the world (except for those in the US, of course, because we will be pleased to ship safety fuse to you. If you buy our safety fuse.) Shogun Safety Fuse. US Sales only.
Friction Primers!
These nifty gadgets that connect the lanyard to the charged cannon and sets the whole train in motion, can be tough to find. We have a limited supply; call (877) 833-1799, during business hours, CDT, etc.) to order 50 or 100 Friction Caps.
Fuses. Again.
We heard the tales of woe about the fuse to a stump-charge fizzling out under damp or wet ground. We now have for your delight waterproof(?!) fuse. 2.2mm Shogun Safety Fuse, burns hot at 32-33 seconds per foot, in 65-foot rolls. We will be carrying the Way Fast 3.0 mm Safety Fuse as well, so you can clearly choose which of the three kinds of Safety Fuse you need to light your fire. So to speak.
More caps
CCI #10, #11, and the 24% hotter, #11 magnum caps. For revolver, muzzleloader, and muzzleloader hot shooters, respectively, we can pack a few with a small black powder order on our CapsNPowder page. You can place larger caps orders on the caps page on BlackDawgeCartridge.com. And the regular Powder page is still our regular Powder page. For regular black powder orders. Oh, you ought to know what I mean. Really. We just added the new caps types on the same pages where the CCI four-winged Musket caps were. And didn't change the black powder page for the new caps. Because there weren't any caps on the Order Black Powder page, and there still aren't any caps on the Order Black Powder page. Not because we don't want you to order caps and black powder (we do, that is why there is a caps page on BlackDawgeCartidge.com, and a CapsNPowder page on PowderInc.com, after all) but because it would make the OrderBlackPowder page look cluttered. Caps. CCI #10, #11, #11 magnum.
Skirmish black powder
We now offer skirmish black powder, a good, low cost powder for cannon (#1) and rifle and pistol (#3) use. Try this new Skirmish powder to figure out what it does for you. We figure that re-enactors, cowboy action shooting, and some hunters will enjoy this consistent blackpowder.
GOEX Reenactor black powder
GOEX Reenactor black powder. Here, now. Good for low pressure use for recreational shooting, with muzzleloaders - shines for blank fire in carbines, pistols, muskets, and cannon.
New Diamondback Powders web site
The Diamondback Powders web site is moving to a new domain (still the same powders, the same info on the web site), we updated our Links page - and you might want to, as well. The new home is http://www.diamondbackpowders.com.
Two jags, with the C & B Cylinder Loader
Our justly famed and cherished Cap and Ball Cylinder Loader ships with two loading jags. I know we had been saying it ships with three, and it used to, until, ahem, that changed. Sorry for the mis-information.
Skirmish powder
Skirmish powder was popular, back when we had it, and we hated to disappoint those that wanted more. We think this is a decent black powder for shooters, and we are bringing it back, sometime real soon now. A couple of caveats. The price will be similar to before, but not quite as inexpensive. And we cannot give granulations. The reason we cannot state granulations for the new, coming Skirmish powders? Here is the reason: Because, that's why. At least, that is how I understand it. So look for Skirmish #1 for use in cannon, and Skirmish #3 for rifle and pistol.
Musket caps, the kind that go with muzzle loading and sets off the blackpowder, not the fur kind or Amazon.com toy coonskin kind. We gots 'em on Black Dawge Cartridge.com. And coming here, too. *cough* Working on it. Anyway, the prices dropped on the caps, too, about $5 per order. Check 'em out.
The end of the COWBOY . . and the Cartridge GOEX powders
GOEX is discontinuing the COWBOY and CARTRIDGE grade powder. We have a limited supply of the COWBOY only, and will ship "first-come, first-serve". Until it is gone. Once it is gone, uh, . . we won't ship any more? Oh, right. When it is gone, it is gone. Cie la vie. Sayonara. Adios. Finit. Caput. Listed on the "extinct" list. "So long, it's been good to know ye" and all that.
Migrating, cartridges, and BlackDawgeCartridge.com
We are gathering the Black Dawge products and stuff besides black powder on the BlackDawgeCartridge.com web site. And we added the Safety Fuse page here on PowderInc.com, complete with a real, live, actual scanned copy of the warning blurb on the Safety Fuse package label. Honest! Just keep in mind, that the bullets and cartridges and brass and Cap and Ball Cylinder Loaders and powder flasks and powder measures and HiLux scopes have moved. When you leave the PowderInc.com site now, to look at bullets, etc., you leave your PowderInc.com shopping cart behind. So buy your powder and safety fuse (for those cannon boomers out there), then gander at the Black Dawge pages. And, yes, I know the Black Dawge pages look just like the Powder Inc pages for bullets, etc. They list the same great products, after all, just less brassy yellow and more hunter green colors on the page. Just, you know, don't get lost trying to get the bullets and black powder into the same shopping cart anymore, 'cause we now have separate shopping carts for Black Dawge Cartridge and for Powder, Inc.
Cannon fuse
We have safety fuse on hand, Shogun 3.00 mm (3 mm divided by 25.4 mm per inch, would be about 0.118 inches, or 7.5/64ths of an inch. Ain't metric a hoot?) green safety fuse. This is a vigorous and reliable fuse, timed at 1 foot in 28 seconds. We have 20 foot rolls in stock now.
Safety Fuse. New pricing, with shipping included. Ta-ra-ra Boom-der-eh! Or watch Ta-ra-ra Boom-der-eh!
Frusrated with half-full cartridges? Decided that playground sand isn't the safest filler?
(Please don't try this. If the kiddies don't complain about losing their sand,
it will likely act more like shrapnel when you try to fire it.
I can't think sand is recommended for long barrel life, neither.)
Shotgun shells
Breaking news (as of July 22, 2009). Chamber size on black powder shot shells is 2 3/4" long. This is the same size they have been. We just thought it would be nice to list it, so you don't have to guess.
New Winchester '76 cartridge
We now carry a Winchester '76 cartridge in 45-60 caliber. In two styles, GOEX Black Powder, 350 gr. RNFP, and 45-60 Blackhorn 209, 300 gr. FP. Another new cartridge is the Trapdoor carbine Original Military Load, 45-70 405 Gr RNFP. Order these new cartridges on the Ammo page. We also now carry Jamison 45-60 brass; order that on the Catalog page (a brass page is coming real soon, now).
Delays in shipping
Powder, Inc. is not responsible for delays encountered after your order is picked up by FedEx or UPS.
Ammo Brass Sale
As part of the Overstock Sale, we have several thousand pieces of new cartridge brass for sale, in 44 Cal. - either Russian or Remington Magnum Starline. See the buttons on the Black Dawge Cartridge web site Catalog page.
Scopes from Leatherwood Optics!
Powder, Inc. is now a distributor for Leatherwood / Hi-Lux Optics Scopes! We now carry the classic Wm. Malcolm scope, as seen in the recent movie "3:10 to Yuma". The Malcolm scope is built using modern optics to an authentic Wm. Malcolm style. The Short Barrel Malcolm Telescopic Rifle Sight combines superior optics with a 3x shorter form for cowboy and lever action rifles, and other shorter barrel rifles, as well as most longer barrel rifles, too.
We are pleased to carry the Toby Bridges Special Edition scope for Muzzleloaders. This 3x9 by 40mm scope has also been used successfully on shotguns.
New office hours
Office hours: Monday - Thursday 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., Friday 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., Central Time (like in Chicago).
We offer ammo cartridges in quality Blackpowder loads.
You may also order by faxing your completed statement of release with your credit card information, including expiration date, 3-digit number on the back of your card at the end of the signature line and what items you would like to order. FAX: 479-754-6281.

DANVILLE Child Abuse: Helping the Hurting is the theme of a continuing education seminar for area professionals to be held Tuesday, April 17, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at St. Luke Community Center, 7 W. Rambo St., Danville. The registration table will open at 8:30 a.m. and lunch will follow immediately after the program.
The seminar, sponsored by The Association of Danville Area Ministers, will be led by Cindy Kuhr, former director of Direct Services for the Ohio Victims Witness Association and investigator for the Ohio Department of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities. Kuhr was assigned to the Major Unusual Incident Unit, where she supervised and investigated cases of abuse and neglect at the statewide level. Just one year ago she led a workshop on ministry in the midst of trauma, grief and loss in Danville, especially for area clergy.
This years seminar on child abuse will address the following issues: 1) A basic understanding of physical, emotional and sexual child abuse; 2) How a professional working with children can recognize child abuse; 3) Skills to help a teacher, pastor, officer or health care professional talk with and listen to possible abuse victims; 4) Legal issues in notifying authorities of possible child abuse; 5) Help in making referrals to others: When, who and how; 6) Ongoing support for abused children: rebuilding self-esteem; and 7) Preventing child abuse. There will be time for seminar participants to engage in questions and answers with the seminar leader.
There is a charge for the seminar which covers handouts, certificate of attendance (which can be used for continuing education credits), and a noon lunch. Early registration is needed to help prepare for this event. Participants may register by sending their name, address and phone number to St. Luke Community Center, 7 W. Rambo St., Danville, OH 43014. For more information interested parties may call the Rev. Art Lund, event coordinator, at 740-397-0702.

much better then the fake ones online ...i will say once you go pressing frets you'll never go back!
Does the intended job nicely. I wouldn't recommend using it for anything else, as it seems a bit delicate. But, it does the job like I said.
It's very good indeed. Perfect for setting down the fret end.
An excellent tool for fret working!
An excellent tool well worth the price. First one I had lasted 15 years. I appreciate the improvement of the brass cap on one side of the hammer, this one should last 30.
I've only fretted one fretboad with it so far but it does the job very well.
I used this hammer for a partial refret job I did recently, and it was the perfect tool for the job.
Not just for fretting, so handy
After writing a review on this tool (the brass face fell off), I had received an email from StewMac Customer Service. They were very considerate, and offered to send a replacement for the defective tool I had. This is what makes me a more dedicated customer. Thank you, StewMac!

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - David And Victoria Beckham: Date Night At Matsuhisa!
Posted on Fri Mar 9, 2012 09:50 AM PDT
It's date night for David and Victoria Beckham -- and that means a posh kid-free dinner at Matsuhisa restaurant in Beverly Hills!
The sexy soccer player brought out the Rolls Royce Phantom for their special date, and the cute couple made sure to sit extra close all throughout their intimate dinner. Aww!
The busy parents of four recently celebrated eldest son Brooklyn's 13th birthday on March 3, and they pulled out all the stops for their son's special day by recruiting pal Usher to sing him Happy Birthday!
"Brooklyn had been getting calls from England all morning so just assumed it was another relative. When he picked up the phone, Usher sang 'Happy Birthday'. Brooklyn is crazy about Usher and has met him a few times. He went bright red and started to get really shy. He told his dad after that it was the best present ever," a source close to the family revealed.
But that wasn't all! Proud papa David also treated the birthday boy to an LA Lakers game, where they sat front row alongside Denzel Washington.
Happy birthday Brooklyn!

JETS captain Jobe Wheelhouse will have foot surgery on Monday but the home-grown midfielder remains enthusiastic about a pre-season that nearly did not eventuate.
The Jets began preparing for the 2012-13 A-League campaign at Ray Watt Oval yesterday, bringing an end to a tumultuous off-season in which owner Nathan Tinkler threatened to hand back the A-League licence to Football Federation Australia.
Wheelhouse admitted he held grave concerns for the club and said it was a relief to get the squad together for the first time.
''It was a bit of a shock to everyone at the end of last season when [Hunter Sports Group CEO] Troy Palmer and [Jets CEO] Robbie Middleby came in and told us what was happening,'' Wheelhouse said.
''It was a sad time. The first couple of weeks it was hard to get away and take your mind off things.
''You weren't sure if we were going to be here or if it would be another club.
''But we are glad to be back and happy that the Jets are here.''
The uncertainty over the club's future forced Wheelhouse to delay surgery to remove a bursa from the outside of his left foot.
The injury had troubled the luckless playmaker for months and he played the second half of last season with the aid of pain-killing injections.
''I don't want another season of needles and wearing a modified boot,'' Wheelhouse said.
''Hopefully I'm not out too long. It's just the scar and where it is at that will take time.
''I should be back in full training in a month.''
Wheelhouse said he had become accustomed to ''something happening off the pitch'' at the Jets but was hopeful it ''had been sorted now''.
''The most important thing is that there is a team here and we are ready to go,'' he said.
''We just want to train hard and do the business.
''We had a really good squad last year and under-achieved, in my opinion.
''We have brought some good boys in and there is no reason why we can't push for a top-four spot.''
Wheelhouse was especially looking forward to playing alongside Gold Coast arrival and excitement machine James Brown.
''He has done some really good things against us in the past and hopefully he can produce that for us this year,'' Wheelhouse said.
Brown was one of four new faces yesterday along with Josh Brillante (Gold Coast), Adam Taggart and Scott Neville (both Perth).
It was somewhat of a disrupted first day back on the job for the Jets.
Craig Goodwin (Melbourne Heart) and Mark Birighitti (Adelaide United) are yet to arrive and defender Tiago is not due to return from Brazil for another fortnight.
Ben Kantarovski had surgery on his nose on Thursday and sat out training.
Brown (ankle) worked alongside Wheelhouse in the rehabilitation group. Ruben Zadkovich (knee) and Nikolai Topor-Stanley (Achilles) were also on light duties.
Assistant coach Craig Deans took the session in the absence of Gary van Egmond, who is in Sydney this week doing a UEFA Pro Licence.
In a change to recent pre-seasons, the ball was used throughout out the 70-minute session.
''Things have changed in the past five years. There are no sand dunes, no awful road running for hours ... everything is done with the ball,'' Deans said.
''It gives the guys an opportunity to meet the new players and to start forming some understanding on the field with the ball rather than running up and down hills.''
Deans said the Jets had planned some trial games but only a couple against Northern NSW State League sides.
Veteran Englishman Michael Bridges trained yesterday but is yet to put pen to paper on a new deal.
''Bridgey is happy to be here and we want him here,'' Deans said.
''He just has to sort out his personal details with the club, and hopefully that gets done in the next week or two.''
Not including Bridges, the Jets have filled 18 of a maximum 23 places on their roster.
They have been linked with a move to Mariners wonder boy Tomas Rogic but Deans said apart from the addition of a couple of quality experienced players the squad was full.
''My take on Rogic was that he was waiting for Arnie to sign at the Mariners,'' Deans said.
''We need to sign two good players.
''We just need to go through the right process of identifying those people and make sure they are the people we want.
''We have four months before the start of the season.''

659: Lego
Title text: Dad, where is Grandpa right now?
Lego blocks are a popular building toy, which Cueball here uses to describe a philosophical conundrum: the distinction between a composition, and the collection of parts that make up that composition. For example, the Lego blocks he and his daughter (Ponytail) used to make a house are still around; they were put back into the bin, and can be used on future designs. However, the house itself, as a specific combination of those blocks, is gone. It ceased to exist when they took it apart. In essence, they "killed" the house.
Later in her life, Ponytail extends this thinking to humans and organ donation. The US has an opt-in system for organ donation; in the event that you die, any of your organs or tissues that remain functional after your death can be donated for transplantation or medical research, provided you've opted into the organ donor registry. Ponytail compares her organs to the Lego blocks she's carrying - even if she (the composition) dies, her organs (the pieces) can continue to serve another. As such, she is compelled to register as an organ donor.
The title-text is the same question asked in the first panel, asked from this new perspective - instead of asking where the Lego house went, the questioner (presumably a young child, possibly still Ponytail) is asking where his/her Grandpa went. Humans are a composition of many parts; the parts are (usually) buried or cremated when we die, but the composition is something else entirely. (What exactly happens to a human composition after death is a question for religious debate, but we know for sure it doesn't stay here.)
- [Ponytail and her father Cueball are putting away Lego bricks.]
- Cueball: When you take apart a Lego house and mix the pieces into the bin, where does the house go?
- Ponytail: It's in the bin.
- Cueball: No, those are just pieces. They could become spaceships or trains. The house was an arrangement. The arrangement doesn't stay with the pieces and it doesn't go anywhere else. It's just gone.
- [Ponytail, older, is standing at a desk. She's holding a couple of Lego bricks.]
- [She looks at the bricks.]
- [She checks off a box next to the words "Organ Donor" on something on the desk.]
This is one of my favorite xkcd strips, and one that I happily point to in any discussion involving organ donation. Ekedolphin (talk) 08:05, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
Hmmm... Where did the philote of the house go though? The pattern may be gone, but was the philote called back to outside? Yes, I'm one of the seven fans of xenocide. 04:08, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
Anyone interested in the issues raised in this comic would do well to look up the problem of the Ship of Theseus. 18.104.22.168 17:03, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
For me, once you accept the fact of evolution, and therefore that all life on earth emerged from a common ancestor, it is patently obvious that the relevance of religion to what happens to my "composition" (self) after death is ... zero. To wit: "If you want to know what happens when you die, go look at some dead stuff." 184.108.40.206 01:22, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
The point of this comic is excellent, but it is dampened for me by the fact that Lego doesn't sell general-purpose blocks any more, it's all precision kit crap. Djbrasier (talk) 21:30, 23 January 2014 (UTC)Hammy2211 (talk) 21:34, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Likely Parker's relinquishing control of Wine Advocate is not earth-shattering news for those new to wine. It is not a bad thing to be unacquainted with Robert Parker. Likely your wine opinions are being formed without the influence of numerical scores dispensed by Parker from his Monkton, Md., headquarters.
Back in the last century, as American wine was coming out of the dark ages, wine enthusiasts found their way to Parker's cheaply printed newsletter. It was rather a dull publication containing Parker's tasting notes. Parker was an advocate for wine, hence his publication's name. The newsletter was supported by subscription fees only as Parker did not want to give the impression his ratings were influenced by advertisers.
We subscribed to this rag and read about wines we could not pronounce or have any hope of drinking. We looked at scores awarded by Parker. He is credited with inventing the 100-point grading scale for wine. Though Parker still produces a print version of his publication, I subscribe to the online version.
That Parker became a force in wine by his own admission had a lot to do with timing. There were no other wine critics who reviewed wines the way he did at the time.
He did not come from a wine family. His drink of choice was Coke. His wine epiphany came while on summer vacation from college to visit his girlfriend, who was studying in France. The girlfriend, who later became Mrs. Parker, spoke fluent French. Together they traveled the French countryside knocking on doors of famous chateaux not customarily open for tourist tastings. Parker was enthralled with the wines he tasted and began the practice of taking copious tasting notes.
He completed law school, but eventually abandoned law to pursue a career in wine starting the Wine Advocate out of his home.
He is said to be a super taster, meaning his tongue has the physiology to taste nuances in wines others cannot. It is said he can recall every wine he has tasted. He has parlayed these skills to his magazine, numerous books, lectures and his online publications.
His favorable ratings are still the most cherished and sought after in the wine world. Though many believe, myself among them, his ratings are not as important to a wine's success as they once were.
For one thing, everybody and his brother now awards numerical scores to wine, thus diluting the importance of such scores. Further, there is such a proliferation of wine in America, younger generations have more opportunity to establish their likes and dislikes by simply trying an array of wines.
When Decanter broke the story of Advocate's sale, they said significant changes were under way, including Parker's stepping down after taking on three new Asian investors and that Advocate would be run from a new Singapore office with Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW serving as the editor-in-chief.
Almost a week went by before Parker wrote his Dear Subscriber letter, mainly repudiating everything Decanter published. Parker says he is not stepping down. He will continue to run the company as chairman of the board and CEO and will review wines from Bordeaux, The Rhone and California verticals, wines from the same producer and same grapes from multiple vintages.
Advocate is thinking about accepting non-wine related advertising for the bulletin board and parts of eRobertParker.com. Editorial responsibilities will be handled in his "second office" in Singapore. The new infusion of cash from his three young Asian investors will allow Advocate to expand coverage of the world's top wine-producing regions, offer the complete print version of Advocate online and conduct wine education conferences that will tour a range of cities, says Parker.
To that I would add, for now. Parker is 65. Time is not on his side. I cannot imagine three young investors including a thirty-something main shareholder, Soo Hoo Khoon Peng, will find Parker relevant for the long haul.

Neighborhoods: Central San Antonio, Downtown
I have been in this system for about 5 months, the first time their I felt as if it was unnecessary treatment, turn off your cell, stand against a wall and wait to get called.....then 5 months have passed, it IS necessary, people , constantly NOT paying attention, because they're texting, or the person who is late by a few hours, trying to jump the line, then they're sitting , bragging about how they were partying all night, so they were late....I say waste time, trying to make this system right
If anyone knows of anyone that has been in jail looking for a way of making an income and is having a very hard time doing so because of their record. Contact me. I have something they will be able to do with no background check, no credit check. This is for someone who SERIOUSLY wants to change and is looking for a fresh start. If someone who isn't serious, joins our company begins to act out with ignorance; they will be warned and if continues...this opportunity will be terminated. It is an awesome opportunity for many. If you know of anyone: Stay at home parents, disabled, bad record, bad credit, homeschooling parents, students, anyone really.
i know somebody who needs help and the probation department does nothing. A friend of mine called the probation department and told them the details, which were supposed to be anonymous, however his probation officer who I believe her name is Stephanie told him the details anyhow. Nothing has been done. I thought that probation officers had a duty to supervise and help offenders. I think I should contact the DA or the judge so something will actually be done. This offender has been arrested numerous times and cited numerous times but nothing has been done. All his probation officer would have to do is check his background and find out.
This place is a joke... – Today I went to the probation office to get some information so I can better support a family member that got into some trouble.
I entered the building and go through security and the guard asked me if I knew where I was going. I told him no and began to explain my situation and the information I was seeking hoping he would tell me who I needed to talk to - how wrong was I.
The guard first made me fell like I was the criminal and began to lecture me as if I'm stupid for even asking and seeking the information I was asking for. He asked why the lawyer was not doing the leg work - how is that his business?
I also did not realize the security guards employed by the city have law degrees... Or at least this guard seemed to know everything that I did not ask for.
Never once was I rude and always address the guard as "sir" showing him respect. He was totally out of line in his treatment of me and should be removed from his position. I would expect I was not the exception here and he treats everyone in this manner.
I left frustrated without the info I need to support my family... Thanks Probation Office...
The BCAP Office looks nice on the outside and the tax payers got an improved building but what is up with the lack of large name placards that identify the building as such. The building is a large gray colored brick building. Citizens and those convicted individuals frequently confuse the jail with the Probation Office. The traffic has increased on Comal Street with many unauthorized citizens parking in the Sheriff's parking lot meant for BCSO employees only. It is time the BC Commissioners or someone in the Bexar County Adult Probation Office take appropriate steps to address this matter. Please get simple signage even it consists of cardboard. Thanks.
hard to contact – despite the outpour of individuals coming from situations resulting in a probated sentence,Bexar County Probation is still attempting to dutifully fulfill its responsibilities to process new probationer's
paperwork coming directly from the courts.
i ,personally am a probationer and was turned away and sent on a wild"paperwork" chase to locate an application for probation form that i had filled out with my attorney in court,and was supposed to be sent to the probation office.
after finally locaing the court clerk(which due to other "court processes" took the better part of two days) i was finally told when checking back with the probation office that it had been sent ..only later.the important part is that Bexar County Probation finnally did recieve it,that crucial piece of paperwork that was mandatory for my begining my probated sentence and i am finally able ,though a week late,to report and begin my probation.
hopefully in the future such instances can be avoided. there sould be a review of how many questions and complications could be resolved if more of our city's resources and taxpayer"s financial efforts were directed to staffing out diversified populations civil empoyees..
A system in need of SERIOUS house cleaning – My brother is on probation for a DUI. No one is disputing the fact that he his paying for his crime against society. What I find completely and totally unacceptable is that they are a department of contradictions. They have a list of demands on a regular basis that require the person on probation to jump through numerous hoops; hoops that have no logical purpose. If my brother did not have the support of the family, he would have been violated and sent to jail because he would have been unable to meet their demands. Today his probation officer calls him at work (in New Braunfels) and tells him to be at her office in downtown SA by 3:30 to pay $90. In the middle of a hurricane with tornadoes all around, he has to call the store owner to come and relieve him or he will have to shut down the store. She had supposedly been trying to reach him for 3 days - but only via his cell phone - which is broken and he can't afford a new one. Not once did she bother to call his house. There is no method in which to make a payment electronically. The monitoring device he must wear for 6 months is another waste of money. A dedicated, NON digital line had to be installed, he has to be home by 8pm each night. He keeps his job and has an occupational license. If 8pm are the terms of his probation, why are tax payers and my brother paying twice to do the job that is the responsibility of the probation officer? The entire system needs to be evaluated and revamped. Additionally, probation officers, police, judges, and any other public official that makes decisions that affect peoples lives should be required to do periodic psychological testing. What I have witnessed in the judicial system is a series of inequities and arbitrary decisions based solely on the mood of the person rendering the decision. There are many horror stories - there is right and wrong, and what is happening within this department is wrong.
Probation? yeah right! – My husband is on Probation. He is a daily user. I waited years with hope that probation was going to slightly control him. He knows how to con the system. He dresses well the day of probation and drinks "The liquid stuff" which clears his system. They never test him, they never check him at home at curfey, they never drop in to test him spontainiously. I wanted to go with him and tell his probation officer but they kicked me out. What a scam for everyone involved. Yeah Mrs. Fulton, why don't you do your job and save a life...you can make a difference if you did your job!
4 months later 09/10/08-----I have contacted the probation officer of my concerns on my husbands use..He was arrested cuz we fought over more use money, He failed a UI test, He missed his probation meeting twice he has not complied with half of the classes he needs to take and guess what?...He is still here doing the same thing everyday!...What is this...as long as he sends the monthly payment everything is ok. To this day she has never come to the house or checked his curfew. I give up!
1yr and 4months later. 01/19/2010 He is no longer my husband. I Divorced him He still continues to use crack 5 to 6 days out of the week. He is using now and has probation tommorrow. To this day they still have not once came to the house to check on him. They have now stopped drug testing him because according to a counseling session they made him take "He has no drug problems"...crazy..huh? He laughed on they way home and bragged about fooling them. Well, he is a con-artist and like everyone tells me I m the one he is conning more than anyone else..I just keep hoping one day they will Re-hab him..I talked to his probation officer and still no results..I had a friend talk to an officer there and they think Im probably lying...Dear officers at San Antonio Adult Detention....Please make this city a better place and do your JOB...The whole community is going down because of these drugs and drug addicts..YOU can do something about it. YOU are the only ones they fear because you are the only ones that can take something they love away, their freedom and their drug!!!

blech! – The woman who answered the phone to take my delivery order had a very, very strange attitude. I really don't think she was happy to hear from me!
Regardless, the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time and well-packed, but the miso was small (and looked/tasted like rusty water was the soup base), the yellowtail scallion roll was so funny tasting that I just ate what yellowtail I could from inside the roll, the shrimp tempura roll was really bad, but the salmon avocado rolls were good. Nothing at all was great, so I can't figure out why this place has such a good rating. It wasn't toooo expensive, thank goodness, or I'd feel really ripped off.
Spicy Tuna Rolls at Happy Hour – I really love happy hour for the cheaper drinks, of course, who doesn't? The thing that really bums me out is when I get hungry while getting my drink on and have to order food off the place's dinner menu and I get a bill that smashes my bills, if you know what I mean. Hamachi is frikkin awesome cause they have a bunch of food at happy hour prices too, like spicy tuna rolls.
Loved it and So Did My Hard-to-Please Girl – I love my girlfriend, but she's what you'd call let's say "picky" about restaurants. She nagged me again that I don't take her out enough and told her I'd take her out more, if she didn't complain about every restaurant we go to and finally, I found a place that meets her approval! She loved the miso lobster special appetizer particularly and I had couple really cool rolls with broiled eel. Our waiter took good care of us, despite handling a ton of tables. Thanks again for giving me a nag-free night and a super meal. You'll see us again soon.
They Ruined My Birthday – The concept of good food and service and price point has been around since time began. None of that seems to matter at Hamachi. I went there for my birthday. I had a previous good experience there so I figured with the small bar and non-hipster scene, it would be a cool place. WRONG!!!!!!! The service was bad, management was even worse and didn't want to hear what I had to say. The food was run-of-the-mill at best and overly priced for the quality. Management actually was rude to me when I left. I can't understand why a small business like Hamachi would act like this especially in these economic times. I will never go to Hamachi again!
Gramercy's Japanese Gem – I like good food and I go to a lot of great restaurants in Gramercy to get it, but for the most part they are super expensive and more like once a quarter (on my dime) or for taking clients (expense accounts, yea!), not once or twice a week kind of places. On my way out of Gramercy Tavern one night, I noticed Hamachi and popped in for a nightcap. I had a great time at the bar which was filled with the kind of locals that make you make a bar your local. I came back for dinner and was wowed by the high quality of the sushi and the prices. Now I bring the fam by a couple times a week. Totally recommended.
Hamachi is the best sushi restaurant in New York! – As someone who lived in Tokyo for 6 months all I can say is Hamachi is an amazing sushi experience in New York! The atmosphere is wonderful and the staff are so attentive. Definitely a come back destination!
Excellent food – love this place, the quality of the food is just great and worth any penny. Can highly recommend this place also due to the excellent service
Tasty, well-priced Japanese! – I have been here a handful of times and every time I am amazed that such a reasonably priced and delicious place exists in the city. I am ADDICTED to their rock shrimp and sweet potato roll!
My boyfriend is a huge fan of Japanese food and even he was impressed, which is a rarity.
Always a treat!!!
...as for the negative reviews, I can only hope that they are thinking of another Hamachi, because this restaurant is plain AWESOME!
Avoid at all costs – Poor management that couldn't care less about the customers, a weak bar. The management, most notably the manager/owner Mary is a very nasy person to deal with. If you have a special need, this is not the place. Management is unresponsive and rather you go elsewhere. The food is passable, but why deal with the attitude when you can go elsewhere and have a better time? Do avoid!
Incredible sushi; great prices – Try the Deep Impact roll and any of the specials Everything else is awesome too, but this is what my table had at our last visit and I'm still dreaming about it! Going out for sushi is always kind of expensive, but my friends and I get around that by ordering a bunch of rolls to share and the bento boxes, which have a ton of food inside for not a ton of money.

Thank God we have professional sports keeping a lot of these guys off the streets. Otherwise many of them would probably be in prison.
Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner: 'I'd put my hands around Jim Harbaugh's neck'
Seattle Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner took exception to recent comments San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh made when he was asked about the Seahawks suspensions stemming from players using performance enhancing drugs. Harbaugh said players should "play by the rules" and that his own players using performance enhancing drugs will not be accepted by him.
Browner, who spoke to Sports Radio KJR, said he would "put his hands around" Harbaugh's neck if Harbaugh was a player in the league.
"I don't have anything for it," Browner said. "At the end of the day we gotta win football games. He's a coach. He's never gonna be out there lined up against me. I wish he would; I'd put my hands around his neck. At the end of the day, I'm about winning football games."
Browner was suspended in November 2012 after testing positive for performance enhancing drugs. He missed the Seahawks final four regular season games.
Have you noticed that every team that Pete Carroll coaches is replete with cheaters who refuse to play by the rules and bottom feeders who speak without thinking. . What does that say about Carroll?
Thanks to firstname.lastname@example.com for his wonderful work, My girlfriend left a week before our vacation to be with another man. I was desperate to get her back when I found dr.marnish. I tried 5 other people to do a spell to get her back and nothing worked. I was still alone. Then I found dr.marnish by accident. I don't know how I found him, I don't remember. But, when I first saw the good testimonies about his wonderful work and after reading the Testimonies, I decided I had to try and give it one last shot. After my spells, I got a text from my lover. And we started going back and forth by text, she asked to meet the next day. So we did, and that night we ended up sleeping together, and about a few days after we got back together. anyone who needs help, should email dr.marnish. He is the best.
Howard packer
In other words, he's a cheater who resents being told to win clean, right?
This coming from Harbaugh? Police your own backyard. This is a classy coach ask Pete Carroll or Jim Schwartz.
Well all of you must be 49er homers. This jack off coach who was never very good anyhow spouts off way too much. He thinks he's the only 6-3 tough guy. But in reality the bitch was a QB.
Way to overreact Browner......anyone sense that he might be having some 'roid rage???
Browner is a cheating thug like several of his low-character teammates; the facts don't like!
Carroll was oblivious to the cheating under his nose at USC and fled town as soon as the cavalry arrived; in the NFL, they don't play and he's stuck with his cheaters because there's no where else to run to...
So, does this mean that after I call off from work tomorrow, when I come back and my boss calls me out on not showing up, I get to choke him out too?
Gosh, I was thinking the same darn thing. How dare a coach suggest that athletes follow the rules. Imagine it - NO CHEATING! Are you kidding me? Yup, I want to put my hands around the neck of anyone that would say such a thing.
What an ignorant little punk this jack-off is. If Roger Goodell had any honor left, which he doesn't, he should suspend this moron. Browner is an embarrassment to the NFL.
You have to love the gang banger thug mentality of so many of today's professional athletes. They are real role models for other African Americans....NOT!
This punk should be suspended for a season. In what other profession can you make threats of violence against a co-worker without being fired?
Let's see how the future plays out. Harbaugh has one. Browner is limited.
Stay classy, B Dubs.
Browner is a low life from the ghetto. a nothing a meaningless fool who does not matter.
Jim Harbaugh would slap the hell out of Browner and make him cry. Harbaugh is tough as they come. ask around.
Sounds like 'Roid Rage
Well Mr. Browner, Jim Harbaugh coached his team in the Super Bowl. How did it feel to watch the Super Bowl from your 100' flat panel? Don't talk to us about winning football games when your team wasn't even good enough to play in your sports biggest game.
Just another thug giving the NFL a bad name. They should ban him entirely from ever playing agian.
Roid Rage and low IQ= dangerous situation.
A little bit of 'roid rage there Browner???
This is a non-story fools. Get it off your front page. Third rate website . . .
I guess the PEDs have turned Bowner's brain into mush.
Road rage.
This article is a waste of space.....still trying to figure out how to recover the time I spent reading it.....
Maybe one of your homey "friends" will put a .38 through your skull some day and you will have a moment of clarity with your thoughts in that final second. Attitude is everything and a win at all cost attitude is a poor excuse for an attitude.
Mr. Browner needs to learn how to convey a clear thought and opinion. My 5 year old knows how to explain her thoughts better. Also, anybody that threatens violence to prove his point is a person that has very little self respect.
Hey Pete, take control of your players! If you don't, I bet Mr. Allen will.
If its all about the winning, It's hard to win a football game, if you're not playing in it be ause of suspension.
willing to bet Harbaugh beats the crap out of Browner
@roobn67 Lol, Jim Harbaugh was always one of the toughest guys on the field when he played. Clearly you have never seen footage of this guy.
I feel the need to reply to my own comment to assure you all that my first paragraph was facetious. I feel the need to point that out because of some of the overwhelmingly ignorant comments that seem to suggest that Browner makes sense here. I know I shouldn't be surprised, but I can't help but be so.
@WilyCoyoteSuperGeniusGang Banger thug? Have you ever met Browner? Do you have any reason besides an out of context quote to believe hes a thug, never mind a gang banger? did you even listen to the interview?...the interviewer tells Browner that Harbaugh insinuated that Seahawks players had been taking something (steroids) instead of aderall. When Browner says id put my hands around his neck, the interviewer breaks out laughing. Its all very light. He didn't say it at all as a threat. Threats of violence? Football is a sport of violence. Its so violent that players get knocked out and regulary concussed. So actual violence is fine, but a joking, hypothetical "threat"of violence requires a year long suspension? And other jobs dont require you to be violent, as football does. Your really going to compare sitting at a desk with a profession like football, which requires many of its employees to physically harm other employees?
@joeshine730 would it be better if he were a low life from a good neighbourhood? But i agree...i hate people whose parents dont have enough money to live in a neighbourhood not considered a ghetto. That makes sense, right?
@joeshine730 Dude, you are joking right? Harbaugh is an old man. Don't kid yourself.
@AnthonyS.Andrews Proll'y better than Harbaugh felt after coaching the 9ers to their first SB loss.
@timmottly1 yet you just HAD to comment on it.
@JonathanRobb Herschel, your inability to put together a coherent response is quite telling of your mental acuity.
@JonathanRobb yeah.. the revolutionary war and wwII were pointless.
@JonathanRobb "...anybody that threatens violence to prove his point is a person that has very little self respect."
Very well said.
@joeshine730 I would take that bet/ You might not like this kid, but he would kill Harbaugh. Get a clue.
@Rickapolis I thought your second paragraph was facetious. Why should Goodell suspend Browner? Just because someone says something you don't like (or something stupid, which Browner did in this case) doesn't mean the idiot should be suspended.
There are lots of idiots who say things I don't like, and things I think are stupid. That's a part of life. I'd never argue a man should be suspended or fired from his job simply for running his mouth.
@Rickapolis what's ignorant is that, clearly, you think most top-tier athletes DON'T use PEDs...
@JeffBockert @joeshine730 ask around the NFL how tough Harbaugh is???
@ITATTRACTS @timmottly1 Yes, because of the idiocy. Your comment however is as stale as your breath. Please don't vote.
@Theo @A1 See that is a big difference between him and me, it would have to be one of his friends that would have to do it. I have enough wisdom to know that hanging out with that crowd may be exciting for a while and i may be feared or "respected", but there is a lot more to life than that ... I hope Browner grows up enough that he will be able to experience the better parts of life ... the parts that money and fame can't buy.
@6marK6 @joeshine730 Jim Harbaugh would beat the hell out of that jig. Harbaugh is one tough dude.
@Kp @Rickapolis "I'd never argue a man should be suspended or fired from his job simply for running his mouth."
I would. In a professional setting, if I told a boss (publicly, in front of everybody mind you) that I wanted to choke him, I would suspect that I would be suspended at the least.
There really is no debate about this frankly. The guy cheated, he got caught, and when somebody told him that he shouldn't cheat, he got pissed. That's how 2 year olds act.
@HerschelAnderton @Rickapolis No, I think many, perhaps most, do. It's still cheating. Do you disagree?
@joeshine730 @6marK6 no he wouldn't I saw fear in his face.

we had a new meta roof put on late spring. This is the first year with it. The snow accumulates on the roof then the lower layer melts. Eventually it slides off and make a horific noise when it lands. Before it slides off it hangs onto the roofs edge and makes great artwork of the ice. I thought you might enjoy them
