Get Unrestricted Access To Top Gunsmith's Private Firearm Blueprints Collection!
Including: AK47, AR15, Ruger, Sig, Colt, Thomson, Rifles, Pistols, Machine Guns, Silencers, and much more!
From: Jase Stewart, President
Dear Fellow Gunsmith, Engineer, Home Enthusiast and/or Survival Expert,
I'm a gunsmith of 25 years.
From repairing, reconditioning, re-boring to building from scratch – I know a thing or two about firearms. I live guns, I breathe guns.
But, I'm not going to bore you with the details of my expertise!
You're here because you're looking for blueprints.
Before the internet you didn't have a lot of options. I didn't have a lot of options.
Firstly I'd try to source the information locally. I have a couple of gunsmith friends that very occasionally would happen to have what I needed, but this was rare. I had some contacts in different states. I'd try ringing them. This would often lead me on a wild goose chase, from person to person, hopelessly trying to find the blueprint I needed.
After several hours of phone calls, I'd try the manufacturer. Nine times out of ten they required that I mail them my request, often with a check up front. Sometimes I'd get lucky and have the blueprints I needed within a month. Sometimes my letter would get "lost".
Ahh the frustration!
The final resort was usually the one taken:
Get a working example of the desired firearm and draw the blueprints myself!
The process, as you can imagine would take anywhere up to a couple of weeks with my vernier caliper precisely measuring, gauging and calculating the dimensions of the various parts.
I repeated this process many times, and started amassing a sizable collection of firearm blueprints.
With the development of the internet I gradually built a comprehensive database of reputable contacts all over the globe. You may have chatted to me in one of the many firearm forums over the years! I exchanged some of the blueprints I'd drawn with others, expanding my collection further.
I researched and located hundreds more blueprints, exploded diagrams, manufacturers specifications, "how to build" guides, manuals and other invaluable reference material.
The result is simply this…..
But don't just take Ron's word for it, here are some of the firearms I carry blueprints for:
Browning "Big 50″
And Many More…
In fact, I've put together over 70 blueprints including the following:
- Beretta 38a

I guess nobody dares to go swimming in this water (except immediately after finnish sauna...;-)))
Respect and regards, MM
Hi MM, my wife does - and she hates sauna! I joined her a few weeks ago for an icy dip. It WAS as cold as it looks. But I survived;) Greetings from Helsinki, Petteri
I can´t believe it - you are a bit crazy in the North ;-)))
Just a bit??? ROFL:)) Seriously, you´ll have to try it someday too! I´ve also dived under the ice a few times - but then I had a dry suit on. Much warmer that way;-)
Thanks:) This is one of my favourite places nearby. But I prefer swimming there in summertime!
Greetings, Petteri

MIAMI (AP) - Tony Perez changed his mind and agreed Thursday to manage the Florida Marlins for the rest of the season.
Perez was hired as interim manager when John Boles was fired Monday and said then he had no desire to manage for more than a few weeks, citing commitments this summer.
But the 58-year-old Perez said he spent the past three days breaking public speaking and baseball card show engagements and agreed to take the job Thursday after general manager Dave Dombrowski asked him to reconsider.
"After three days of managing, I proved to myself I can do it," Perez said. "I think I have the team. They play for me, and that's why I made the decision."
Perez, a Hall of Fame first baseman primarily with the Cincinnati Reds, had been on Dombrowski's staff as a special assistant. He briefly managed Cincinnati in 1993 and was fired early in his only season on the job, with the Reds at 20-24.
Florida began Thursday 2-1 since Perez took over and entered its game against the New York Mets with 24-27 record, third in the NL East, nine games behind first-place Philadelphia.
Perez took over in Pittsburgh on Monday, a day after relief pitcher Dan Miceli criticized Boles for not having playing experience in the major leagues.
"I just want to help change things, change the attitude of the players on the team," Perez said. "I walked into a difficult situation, when there were some problems with the team. It's not easy to walk into problems like that.
"I just want to get everybody away from that, not thinking about what happened and thinking about the games ahead. The last three days were pretty good."
Dombrowski met with his staff Thursday to discuss a short list of managerial candidates. Dombrowski then asked Perez to manage for the rest of the season.
"We think he's the right person for the job at this point," Dombrowski said. "This is what our organization needs, somebody that's very familiar, that can provide the type of leadership we need for our ballclub. We're thrilled that he's decided to do that."
The Marlins were said to be considering Tampa Bay coach Darren Daulton, who played on Florida's 1997 World Series championship team; former Tampa Bay manager Larry Rothschild, the Marlins' former pitching coach; and former Toronto manager Cito Gaston for the permanent job.
Also said to be considered were former Arizona manager Buck Showalter and former Texas manager Johnny Oates.
Perez has been with the Marlins organization since July 1993.
"They know me; I've been around the players," Perez said. "They know what I like. They know what I do. They know I'm here to win. That's the commitment I want. I don't have to tell them that's my way. It should be everybody's way."

Not sure if this is the right forum, please let me know if not.
My site (dnatestindex.com) worked fine six months ago. I have not looked at it since then until today. Now it appears that on some pages (but not all) the right column gets pushed down below the bottom of the main content area. The problem appears in Firefox and IE. Today I upgraded to the latest WP version, that did not help. I think I'd like to change themes at some point, but for now I wonder if there is a fix or workaround.
So...I'm sure the problem is with the CSS, but I don't know CSS well enough to track it down. I'm hoping someone can take a quick look and tell me "ah, here's your problem!"
Thank you!

I enjoy programming in any language that I know. I prefer using strength of different languages to achieve my goal rather than blindly sticking to one particular language and putting my faith into it. But personally I prefer using scripting languages such as python, php and bash to achieve quick results, and using more bulkier languages such as C++ and Java to make heavy applications.

The contradiction must elude them
Published: Sunday, September 24, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, September 24, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: "MOGADISHU, Somalia -- An Italian nun was shot dead at a hospital by Somali gunmen Sunday, hours after a leading Muslim cleric condemned Pope Benedict XVI for his remarks on Islam and violence. The nun, who wasn't immediately identified, was shot in the back at S.O.S. Hospital in northern Mogadishu by two gunmen, said Mohamed Yusuf, a doctor at the facility, which serves mothers and children. The nun's bodyguard and a hospital worker were also killed, doctors said."
I happened to read the news item above (emphasis is mine) shortly after seeing where an Iranian spokesman (they have no spokeswomen) said that "Anyone who says publicly that Islam is not a religion of peace risks a violent response."
Apparently there is no concept of irony in either Farsi or Arabic, or else their education system is like ours in some ways.

Hi there
Just a warning to other users, attempting to build a large index (ie thousands of posts) with Relevanssi will not work on a shared server, as you will most likely get a timeout:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in ...
The solution is not applicable if you are on a shared server, as you will not be given priviledges to alter the file, but if you can, you need to access the php.ini file (normally on root), find the line:
and change that to something higher than 30 seconds (ie 90).
Just thought I'd put that out there, seeing as I had this problem and couldn't figure it out for a while....
PS. This is not an issue with the plugin itself, but with your server setup and Apache.

People with citrus trees like to count their chicks before the eggs have hatched. What I mean is, this is the time of year that fruit begins to swell and become quite noticeable and people start planning on having a big crop. There is one common problem that happens in the fall of the year that can drastically effect the harvest and that is fruit splitting.
Fruit splitting, particularly on navel oranges, can occur in the fall. The most frequent explanation of fruit splitting is that the moisture rich meat of the citrus fruit expands faster than the rind. This causes a split in the rind and then the fruit is aborted by the tree.
It is getting late in the production cycle, but one way to reduce fruit splitting on citrus is to make sure the trees receive uniform irrigation and fertilization. In other words, inputs to your citrus trees should occur on regular cycles. Water uptake is a key factor of fruit split. Make sure your citrus trees are given ample amounts of water as fruit develops.
Don't count your citrus crop, yet. A dry spring and summer and a wet fall can bring on plenty of fruit splitting which is nature's way of thinning a crop.

Hey guys, I've been using Achievements 2.4 specifically cause I need the buddypress integration with the activity and user profile tab.
I'm happy to hear that the buddypress integration is back in the new version and I'd possibly like to upgrade but can anyone show me a demo of 3.2 in action with buddypress?
I tried to install it to test it out but my site crashed, i assume it's cause i'm using an old version and it's a conflict with the database or something.

Chicken and Rice
I don't really make a ton of casseroles anymore - mainly due to a picky child. My good friend Barb is from South Dakota and she grew up saying "hot dish" instead of casserole. So, in Barb's mind - this is a Chicken and Rice Hot Dish.
Also, this is a great dish to take to a friend in need. You could even use light ingredients and make it healthier. I was talking to a fellow preschool teacher about substituting plain Greek yogurt for the mayonnaise to make a dish healthier. I did use light mayo but may try yogurt next time.
I think you will enjoy this "casserole" or "hot dish". I know my hubby did!
Chicken and Rice Casserole
2 cups cooked chicken, diced
2 -3 cups cooked rice (I used closer to 3)
1 cup celery, diced
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 Tbsp chopped onion (I used minced onion)
3/4 cup light mayonnaise
1 small can water chestnuts
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1 cup crushed corn flakes/1/4 stick melted butter
Mix first 8 ingredients and pour into a greased 9 x 13 glass baking dish. Sprinkle with corn flake/butter mixture. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.

Know what the Nevada Real Estate License State Requirements are before you start taking courses
Real estate license - Nevada state requirement
When you're getting your real estate license in Nevada, you want to make sure you thoroughly understand the licensing requirements. Every state is different so if you're interested in getting licensed across different states, be sure to carefully review the requirements for Nevada. Visit the Nevada Real Estate Division site to learn more about the specific real estate license requirements.
Thousands of people in Nevada have used Real Estate Express online pre-license and exam prep courses to get their licenses. Our real estate and exam prep courses are designed with Nevada's state requirements in mind. The state of Nevada has specific requirements for real estate agent and brokers' licenses and we make sure our online real estate license courses meet the requirements for Nevada.
General requirements - real estate license Nevada requirement
When it comes to getting your real estate license in Nevada, you need to be at least 18 years old. Additionally, if you're applying for a real estate salesperson license, you must meet the following education requirements:
Real estate license - Nevada state requirement
You must show proof of passing the national and Nevada state exam within one year of the application date. You may also use your national examination results from another state (if dated within one year of the date of application for a Nevada real estate license) but you must show proof of those results.
Broker and broker-salesperson license - Nevada state requirement
Applicants must show proof of completion of *64 semester units, consisting of:
If you are applying for a broker's license and you hold a valid real estate salesman's license, you are entitled to receive credit for the equivalent of 16 semester units of college level courses for each two years of active experience as a licensed real estate salesman or broker.
Your license must be valid in that state at the time of application in Nevada. You can't apply this credit against either the 45 hour Broker Management Training or the 18-hour Nevada law requirement.
To apply for a broker's license you must have been actively engaged as a full-time licensed real estate broker or salesman for at least two (2) of the four (4) years immediately prior to the issuance of a Nevada Broker license. You may apply for a Broker/Salesperson license without meeting the experience requirement but must meet the testing and education requirement of a broker.
Be prepared to show proof of passing the national and Nevada state exam within one year of the application date. You may use your national examination results from another state but must show proof of those results and meet the one-year deadline.
Real estate license renewal - Nevada state requirement
The state of Nevada requirements are different based on renewal type. Be sure to review each renewal section carefully as you may encounter delays in getting your license renewed.
Your original real estate license is valid for two years ending the last day of the month during which you obtained your license. You'll need to renew your license every 4 years. There is no grace period for renewal.
You'll receive a renewal notice as a courtesy approximately six weeks before it expires. If you don't receive the notice, use the generic renewal form.
You may renew your licenses up to 45 days prior to the renewal deadline date.
The renewal education requirements are as follows:
First renewal:

The requirement for post-licensing education does not apply to a first-time licensee who:
*Those who qualify for 645.4442 are required to complete 30 hours of continuing education as follows:
Real estate salespersons:
30 hours consisting of 12 hours of required courses that include 3 hours each of:

For additional information, see Regulation R093-10 and Informational Bulletin #25.

For additional information, see Regulation R093-10 and Informational Bulletin #25.
Renewing an inactive license:
Inactive real estate licenses must also be renewed by the expiration date. No continuing education is required to renew, but the renewal form must be completed and returned with the applicable renewal fee.
The Child Support Statement must be completed, regardless of parental status.
Renewal process:
Licenses may be renewed by mail or in person. Include:
If renewing by mail, the application must be postmarked by midnight of the expiration date (the last day of the renewal month).
If renewing in person, we suggest that you avoid the end of the month and the middle of the day.
If you have any questions about the continuing education requirements, (702) 486-4033 or visit their website at Nevada Real Estate Division.

Hootenanny Potatoes and Mushrooms
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 10 mins
This recipe is one that I created by myself, so be aware. It reminds me of a western dish, because of the potatoes being cooked the way they are, it takes on a western taste. The word "Hootenanny" was put in the title because in Mario Party 2 on Western Land, you can invite everyone to a hootenanny, which is just so much fun! While I was eating this, I thought of that, so I called it "hootenanny potatoes and mushrooms" Sorry for the measurements, but I really hate to cook using actual numbers. How I feel is how I cook.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 potato
- mushroom, sliced
- cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon canola oil
- salt
- pepper
- Oil your pan, cut the potatoes, either sliced of cubed, and put them inches Season with Salt and Pepper.
- Let sit, or feel free to keep flipping and moving the potatoes around.
- Which ever method you prefer, is up to you.
- Just before the potatoes begin to brown, add the Cajun Seasoning (amount is your preference).
- Make sure that all the potatoes are seasoned.
- After about another minute, add the mushrooms.
- You can add another amount of cajun seasoning if you want it extra spicy.
- After everything is cooked to your liking (I say"to your liking" because some people like their potatoes cooked longer and some shorter) you can remove from your pan, and enjoy!
Most Helpful
This recipe is a delicious concept! I used leftover boiled potatoes and omitted the mushrooms. I was sure to heat the oil in my cast iron pan before adding the potatoes; they came out wonderfully browned and crispy. Thanks for posting!
Even though the site messed up your steps, Im sure this is great! I tried your food before and it is wonderful! Can't wait to eat these!!!

Highway Safety Division
School Bus SafetySchool buses in Prince Edward Island are specially marked and equipped with alternating amber and red flashing lights.
Alternating flashing amber lights are displayed before a school bus stops to pick up or let off students. Drivers should be alert for students when these lights are flashing and be prepared to stop. Reduce speed and proceed with caution.
When passing a school bus that does not have flashing lights on, do so with caution.
Alternating flashing red lights are used when the school bus is stopped to pick up or let off students. When a driver is approaching a school bus with the flashing red lights activated, the driver must stop the vehicle not less than 6 metres (20 feet) from the front or rear of the bus. Remain stopped until the flashing red lights stop flashing.
It is illegal and dangerous to pass a school bus when the lights are flashing. Many school buses are now equipped with cameras to capture any vehicle's licence plate that passes a school bus when the red lights are flashing.
What is the fine for not stopping?
The fine for passing a school bus when the red lights are flashing is up to $5,000 and a loss of 8 demerit points.

Re: Fico Score did not improve after 7 month credit card activity
Yes, the two reports in last 7 months are identical, except that that I have a longer credit history and 7 more months since last delinquent account. Nothing else changed.
In the last 7 months I began using my credit card to show activity. The scoring model: #1 Good. #2 Very Good. #3 Great. #4 Great. The report says I have no activity on my credit report, which is wrong. In fact, the report states under that account, my last activity was August, 2012.
The scoring model is not reflecting my 7 months of activity and is wrong.

Then I have a seperate dictionary that only lives in memory which is keyed on the session object to reference data which can't be serialized. I extend my Session object to support this behavior, providing an npget() method which retrieves non-persistent session data. npget() also supports an init parameter which allows specifying a function to construct the value (ie: open the database) if the key is not already present. This helps readability and allows code like: db = session.npget( "DB", init=lambda id=session.userid : opendatabase( id ) ) If the database connection does not exist, it executes the init code to open the database with the session.userid as the argument. Should we consider adding something like this to the standard session objects? It might help since we occasionally get people running into errors as a result of sticking the database connection on the session object directly. -Stuart-

Kicking & Dreaming: A Story Of Heart, Soul, And Rock And Roll
by Ann Wilson
7 used & new
5 of 6 people found the following review helpful
5.0 out of 5 stars
A great read about the lives of two extraordinary women
Sept. 21 2012
This review is from:
Kicking & Dreaming: A Story Of Heart, Soul, And Rock And Roll (Hardcover)
In Kicking and Dreaming, Ann and Nancy Wilson give an honest and open account of the moments of their lives that have made them who they are. From a childhood in a military family right up to the recording of their soon to be released album, the sisters take turns narrating defining moments and candid stories of professional and personal successes and failures. They recount the struggle for success in the male-dominated rock world, substance abuse problems, image issues, failed relationships and inter-band conflict. There are tales of partying with the likes of Stevie Nicks, Pearl Jam and the Van Halen brothers. You get the stories behind the songs and albums and videos, and how the Wilson sister's special bond allowed them to get through it all.
Obviously, it's a must-read for Heart fans such as myself, or anyone who is interested in music (especially 70s and 80s rock). It is a fascinating insight into what really goes on in a rock band, and how adapting to the constantly-changing music scene can sometimes mean making concessions you swore you never would. It's a story about two women who paved the way for other women to follow, who dared to follow their dreams and make them a reality, who are honest about what they've done and faced to get there. It's a story about love and music, and it's a good one.

Complete garbage!
July 14 2012
This review is from:
Fifty Shades of Grey: Book One of the Fifty Shades Trilogy (Paperback)
Tried reading it just because everyone else is, and I wanted to see what the hype was about. I didn't expect much, just a fluffy bit of smut, really, but it was a complete disappointment. As said in countless other reviews, the author could really benefit from a thesaurus, as the repetitiveness in the writing style is mind-numbing. If you made a drinking game out of everytime someone cocks their head, bites their lip, or their breath hitches, you'd be passed out in two chapters. The insipid e-mail conversations between the main characters were stupid and tedious. The actual speaking conversations were not much better. I'm wondering if the author knows how actual adults relate to one another, or if this book was written by text message-addicted teenagers that only know about sex from internet pornography.
As for the characters - Christian is a controlling, unappealing, moody jerk (which, of course, stems from some childhood trauma it is impossible to care about), and Anastasia is a self-esteemless doormat whose personifications of her "inner goddess" and subconscious self made me wonder if she is the world's most boring schizophrenic. The only characters that seemed remotely tolerable (and I mildly cared about) were secondary and even more poorly developed. Also, it is painfully obvious that the characters are based off of the Twilight crew. It's totally original, you guys! Christian isn't a vampire, he's a secretive, powerful buisnessman. Ana isn't like Bella at all, she's not such a loner, she has a bestie! And her crappy vehicle is a beetle, not a truck! Jose, (the token minority friend who is in love with Bella... er... Ana), is Mexican, not native. Blah. I heard that this lil' novel started as Twilight fan-fiction, and think it really should have stayed that way.
Okay, okay, so it's not a literary masterpiece, but what about the smutty parts? I mean, that's why people are reading it anyway, right? Well, honestly, it's not worth it. There's a lot of it, so about halfway through the book, it kind of loses it's effect. Even when things get a little kinky, it's still kind of "meh". I found myself going "Yeah, yeah, so they're doing it again, and it's a little different this time, and she's scared but into it and blah." It's not sexy at all. And realistic it ain't, kiddies.
So, if you want a poorly-written book about a semi-abusive relationship between a physically attractive and controlling a-hole who's supposed to be appealing (but isn't) and a girl who's plain and supposed to be relatable (but isn't), read Twilight (I would never advocate Twilight, but if choosing between the two, at least that one lets me picture Taylor Lautner shirtless). If you want the smut, read R-rated internet fan fiction, or watch Red Shoe Diaries or something. At least there's less garbage to wade through while you're waiting for the dirty parts. And a lot of the internet stuff is actually written better, and has fewer grammatical errors.
Save your time, save your money, and read anything else. I'm sure with a little research, one could find a suitable book with the same type of "adult situations", but that is actually written by someone with a lick of talent.
Neon Angel: A Memoir of a Runaway
by Cherie Currie

5.0 out of 5 stars
Could not put it down!
June 23 2010
This review is from:
Neon Angel: A Memoir of a Runaway (Hardcover)
This book is one heck of a page-turner. Being a fan of the Runaways, I obviously found this book very interesting, but what surprised me was that several friends I loaned it to who had no interest in Currie or the Runaways told me they could not put it down! It is a gritty story of a fast-paced life running prematurely off the rails. Definately not for the faint-hearted, as Currie sugarcoats nothing. Many of the things Currie went through made me squirm uncomfortably, and some parts make you feel downright dirty. Sometimes it feels like the literary equivalent of a car accident, horrible to look at, but you just can't turn away. One almost has to wonder if it is embelleshed in some parts, because for someone to have gone through so much at such a young age seems unfathomable. But such was the life of 70s teen as part of the first all-girl hard rock band.
Unlike many other celebrity biographies I've read which tend to focus only on one thing, this book has a nice balance of describing Currie's personal life, career, and addictions. For better or for worse, you really get insight into both the "real" Cherie Currie and also her public persona. Also, there are definately going to be comparisons with the movie. Don't be fooled, this book is way better. See the movie first, then read the book to get all the things they couldn't show, and the truth (at least from Currie's point of view) about some of the events with which the movie takes artistic licence.
If you have any interest at all in the 70s music scene, Cherie Currie or the Runaways, or celebrity biographies in general, get this book. You'll be glad you did.
Life with My Sister Madonna

Just plain bad...
Aug. 16 2008
This review is from:
Life with My Sister Madonna (Hardcover)
Just let me start by saying I'm a HUGE Madonna fan, so my review has nothing to do with a dislike of her.
This book is just lousy. You would think that a book written by Madonna's closest brother would offer a lot more insight into her character, career, etc., but it doesn't. The only thing you may learn is that she is more of a controlling (rhymes with) witch than you thought. He is intolerably self-important, and paints himself as a victim of his cruel sister's ambitions. Also, he elaborates on the stupidest things (for example, makes no mention of the MTV Britney incident, but describes in detail both Madonna's and his own outfits for some press conference. Who cares?). My guess is, he is broke and needed to make a quick buck from suckers like me.
If you must read this - borrow it from the library or a friend with poor taste.

Ruble Weakens to 11-Month Low as Yields Jump on Stimulus Concern
The ruble slumped to an almost one-year low and Russian bond yields surged to a seven-month high as European Central Bank President Mario Draghi reignited speculation over the tapering of global monetary stimulus.
The Russian currency declined 0.5 percent against the dollar-euro basket to 36.8370 by 6:47 p.m. in Moscow, the weakest level since June 25. It weakened 0.2 percent versus the dollar to 32.2170. The yield on the government's benchmark ruble bonds due in 2027 increased 15 basis points, or 0.15 percentage point, to 7.62 percent, the highest since November 19, according to data complied by Bloomberg.
Draghi said the euro-area economy will return to growth by the end of the year, handing policy makers a reason to hold back fresh stimulus. Emerging-market assets have retreated since Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said on May 22 that the U.S. central bank "could take a step down" in its pace of debt purchases in the next few months if it saw sustained improvement in the economy. Russia's economy is growing at the weakest pace since 2009, also helping to weaken the ruble.
"OFZ and ruble, along with other risk assets, fell on Draghi's comments," Dmitry Dorofeev, strategist at BCS Financial Group, said in e-mailed comments.
Brent crude gained 0.5 percent to $103.55 per barrel, the highest in a week. The oil and natural-gas industries contribute about half of Russia's budget revenue.
"I was negative on the ruble, but didn't it expect it to fall this hard," Andrei Mishko, a foreign exchange trader at MDM Bank in Moscow, said by phone today.
Russia's economy grew 1.6 percent in the first quarter, the weakest pace since a contraction in 2009, according to the statistics service. The expansion may accelerate to 2.3 percent in the second quarter, according to the median estimate of nine economists in a Bloomberg survey.

Roger Bruck, 73, porved age need not be a barrier to athletic performance.
Bruck won both the high jump and long jump 70-plus age group events at the Southern Counties Veterans Indoor Championships at Lee Valley.
Bruck's marks were 1.25 metres and 3.58 metresrespectively, his high jump setting a Championship best.
George Grant, 14, added 41cm to his pole vault best with a 3.04m clearance in the Vault London event in Carshalton.
This performance lifts Shaftesbury Barnet Harrier Grant to ninth in the UK under-15 rankings.
His brother and team-mate, James Grant, 21, cleared 4.05m for his highest vault in five years at the London Games at Lee Valley.
David Stone conquered testing conditions to win the Barnet Schools under-13 Cross Country Championship.
Stone, 11, took the lead at the first marker, in a race run through snow and mud, and never looked back, coming home by 100m in the 2km race.
As one of the top six finishers, Stone will now go on to represent Barnet in the Middlesex Cross Country event.
Maccabi GB are looking for athletes to challenge in the ultimate test at the 19th Maccabiah Games - the Man/Woman Endurance Challenge.
With most athletes already selected to represent the country in Israel this summer, the new Endurance Challenge will identify men and women with the highest stamina.
David Stone recorded a memorable victory in his first competitive race by winning the under-11 Hertfordshire County Cross Country Championships.
Sam Shindler-Glass achieved a clear victory in the under-17 race in the Young Athletes League at Trent Park.
Staying with the pack for the first quarter of the race, Shindler-Glass, then built up a clear lead to win by 16 seconds.
Steve Solomon rounded off a memorable year by winning the Athletics Australia junior athlete of the year award.
Solomon, who is 19 and from Sydney, reached the final of the 400m at the London 2012 Olympics. A late inclusion for the Australian squad, he clocked the three fastest times of his life, including a PB of 44.97 seconds in the semi-final.
James Bongart and Anna Barnett are the respective winners of the 2012 JC Daniel Sacks Memorial Award for Outstanding Young Athletic Achievement.
David Peters outclassed all other M40 athletes in the Fifth Avenue Mile road race in New York.
Having achieved the distinction of being the only M40 entrant in the elite race, his time of 4:17 was 10 seconds faster than any runner in the official M40 race. It also places him second in the UK M40 rankings for the distance.
Roger Bruck ended his season with two notable victories at the Veterans Inter-Area Championships at Solihull.
Representing the Southern Counties in the M70 division, Bruck won both the high jump and long jump, with marks of 1.25m and 3.57m respectively. Both performances were season bests and in both events he beat the National age-group champion.

We are moving a production site to EC2/RDS
Followed these instructions: http://geehwan.posterous.com/moving-a-production-mysql-database-to-amazon
I have set up row-based binary logging on the production server did a:
mysqldump --single-transaction --master-data=2 -C -q -u root -p > backup.sql
then imported to RDS instance. No dramas.
Due to the size of the db, and minimal downtime requirements, I've got to update the ec2 db to the latest datas via the binlogs, and it won't let me.
mysqlbinlog mysql-bin.000004 --start-position=360812488 | mysql -uroot -p -h
and it says:
ERROR 1227 (42000) at line 6: Access denied; you need (at least one of) the SUPER privilege(s) for this operation
My guess, based on what is on line 6 of the binlog, is that it's the 'write to the BINLOG' statements in the SQL backup, and because RDS doesn't support this, it can't run these statements, or something, I don't really know.
Please help.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- South Carolina coach Lou Holtz said the film he watched Friday shows the hits that eventually knocked Kentucky quarterback Jared Lorenzen out of Thursday night's game were not late nor intentional.
Both times the senior signal caller was hit by Gamecock defensive end Moe Thompson, once after a third-quarter fumble and a second time when the players collided near the Kentucky sideline, helmets banging against each other.
The second hit left Lorenzen with a concussion and team doctors aren't sure when he might recover, Wildcat coach Rich Brooks said.
After Thursday night's 27-21 loss to South Carolina, an angry Brooks lashed out at the officials.
"There is no excuse for any official to miss that late hit to the head," the first-year coach said.
But Holtz said he didn't see any problems with either hit, especially the second one that left Lorenzen face down as trainers tried to revive him.
"He's sprinting, and we're sprinting after him, and all of the sudden he stops and throws the ball," Holtz said.
The Gamecocks also may have some serious injury problems along the offensive line.
Starting left tackle Travelle Wharton sprained his ankle and starting center John Strickland hurt his knee. Holtz wasn't sure whether either lineman will be able to play next Saturday against LSU.

- For the tool used to raise paddle gear on canal locks, see Windlass ("lock key")
The windlass is an apparatus for moving heavy weights. Typically, a windlass consists of a horizontal cylinder (barrel), which is rotated by the turn of a crank or belt. A winch is affixed to one or both ends, and a cable or rope is wound around the winch, pulling a weight attached to the opposite end. The oldest depiction of a windlass for raising water can be found in the Book of Agriculture published in 1313 by the Chinese official Wang Zhen of the Yuan Dynasty (fl. 1290–1333).[1]
- Vitruvius, a military engineer writing about 28 B.C., defined a machine as "a combination of timber fastened together, chiefly efficacious in moving great weights." About a century later, Hero of Alexandria summarized the practice of his day by naming the "five simple machines" for "moving a given weight by a given force" as the lever, windlass, screw for power, wedge, and tackle block (pulley). Until nearly the end of the nineteenth century it was held that these "five mechanical powers" were the building blocks from which all more complex assemblages were constructed.' [2]
- During the Middle Ages the windlass was used to raise materials for the construction of buildings such as in Chesterfield's crooked spire church.[3]
- By the Late Middle Ages most European crossbows employed a windlass as a cocking mechanism, which helped to pull heavier crossbows, but were used in England as early as 1215.[4]
- Windlasses are sometimes used on boats to raise the anchor as an alternative to a vertical capstan (see anchor windlass).
- The rod or stick used to tighten a tourniquet in surgical procedures is called a windlass.
- The handle used to open locks on the UK's inland waterways is called a windlass.
- Windlass can be used to raise water from a well. The oldest description of a well windlass, a rotating wooden rod installed across the mouth of a well, is found in Isidore of Seville's (c. 560–636) Origenes (XX, 15, 1-3).[5]
- Windlass have also been used in gold mining. A windlass would be constructed above a shaft which allowed heavy buckets to be hauled up to the surface.[6] This process would be used until the shaft got below 40 metres deep when the windlass would be replaced by a 'whip' or a 'whim'.[7]
Differential windlass[edit]
In a differential windlass, also called a Chinese windlass,[8][9][10] there are two coaxial drums of different radii r and r'. The rope is wound onto one drum while it unwinds from the other, with a movable pulley hanging in the bight between the drums. Since each turn of the crank raises the pulley and attached weight by only , very large mechanical advantages can be obtained.

The Summons "
"Once Judge Atlee was a powerful figure in Clanton, Mississippi-a pillar of the community who towered over local law and politics for forty years. Now the judge is a shadow of his former self, a sick, lonely old man who has withdrawn to his sprawling ancestral home. Knowing the end is near, Judge Atlee has issued a summons for his two sons to return to Clanton to discuss his estate.
The summons is typed by the judge himself, on his handsome old stationery, and gives the date and time for his sons Ray and Forrest to appear in his study. But the judge dies too soon, and in doing so leaves behind a shocking secret.
The Brethren"
"They call themselves the Brethren: three disgraced former judges doing time in a Florida federal prison.
Meeting daily in the prison law library, taking exercise walks in their boxer shorts, these judges-turned-felons can reminisce about old court cases, dispense a little jailhouse justice, and contemplate where their lives went wrong.
Or they can use their time in prison to get very rich -- very fast. And so they sit, sprawled in the prison library, furiously writing letters, fine-tuning a wickedly brilliant extortion scam ... while events outside their prison walls begin to erupt.

First of all please excuse my ignorance of WordPress. I'm a very new user and chose it due to it's plugin nature. It's not turning out quite as easy as i'd hoped though.
My WordPress powered site is pretty basic. I'm using the default TwentyTen theme and not really doing anything fancy. I do have 1 small issue though in that i want to hide one of my published pages from the menu. It's a holding page for NextGEN/LightBox Plus and parses info between the 2. I've changed the visibility to Private but that then breaks NextGEN/LightBox Plus.
This is the page;
And as you can see, it doesn't really do anything on it's own so i don't want it shown in the menu structure (It shows up as 'Gallery' if you wanted to take a look.
I've found that wp_list_pages should have the exclude functionality that i need but not really sure how to implement this.
Thanks in advance

Forbes: Rock Band is "shameless knockoff" of Guitar Hero
Say what you mean, Forbes. Don't hold back. In a spotlight piece on Activision supremo Bobby Kotick, the US mag's accused EA of ripping off Guitar Hero with Rock Band.
"EA… teamed with MTV to sell Rock Band, a shameless knockoff of Guitar Hero that added drums, bass and a microphone to the world of make-believe rock stars," says the article.
"EA says it is returning to an 'auteur model' of designing games, taking bigger chances on fewer ideas."
Bet Mr Riccitiello'll be pleased about that. Go get yourself some of your own ideas, John. Leave Bobby alone.

Pope Benedict XVI's final Sunday prayers in St Peter's Square will signal the start of a week in the Vatican that will make history with the first voluntary papal resignation in more than 700 years.
Tens of thousands of pilgrims have gathered in Rome from around the world following the ageing pope's shock announcement that he would step down because he no longer had the strength of body and mind to govern the Catholic Church in modern times.
Crowds are expected to turn out in the Vatican on Sunday and again on Wednesday when the leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics will bid a final farewell to ordinary Catholics at a general audience in the Vatican's 17th-century plaza.
On Thursday, the pope will meet his cardinals in the morning and take a helicopter to the papal summer residence of Castel Gandolfo in the afternoon.
At 1900 GMT that same day, Benedict will become only the second pope in the Church's 2,000-year history to resign of his own free will.
Speculation has been rife in recent days over what might have triggered the pope's decision, with the Panorama weekly and the Repubblica daily saying it was linked to an explosive report with allegations of blackmail against gay Vatican clergymen.
The Vatican has refused to comment on rumours about the secret report compiled by a committee of cardinals investigating leaks of hundreds of confidential documents from the papal office.
The cardinals uncovered intrigue, factionalism and corruption in the Roman Curia, the reports said.
Other recent reports say the resignation was due to the pope's health condition, which they say may be more serious than the Vatican has revealed.
Benedict has said he will live "hidden from the world" -- first at Castel Gandolfo and then in April or May, once renovations are complete, in a former monastery within the Vatican walls on a hillside overlooking St Peter's Basilica.
The Vatican has said the pope's divine infallibility -- the power of making unquestionable utterances on matters of doctrine -- will abandon him the moment he is no longer the pontiff.
The resignation is a revolutionary act that Vatican experts say could set a precedent for future popes when their energies inevitably begin to flag.
It has also caused dismay and in some cases disappointment among many ordinary Catholics who expect popes to serve until their natural deaths.
The only other pope to resign in similar circumstances was Celestine V, a hermit who stepped down just months after being elected in 1294 because he said he was not physically able and was disgusted with the intrigue of Rome.
-- Uncharted waters for the Church --
Quite unprecedented is the idea of a pope and his predecessor living within a stone's throw of each other inside the Vatican -- uncharted waters for the Church which will require sensitive handling.
The surprise has been so great that the Vatican has not determined what titles Joseph Ratzinger will have -- "Bishop Emeritus of Rome" has been mooted -- and whether he can continue to wear papal whites.
The pope will likely continue his theological research but the Vatican has said he could also provide "spiritual guidance" for his successor.
The Vatican's culture minister, Gianfranco Ravasi, even likened the idea of the former pope in his hilltop monastery to the Biblical figure of Moses interceding with God on a mountain as battles raged in the valley below.
Immediately after the resignation, cardinals will hold conferences known as "congregations" starting on Friday that are a way of identifying priorities for the Church and sussing out viable candidates for the papacy.
In the interim before the election of a new pope, the Church will be run by Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone -- a divisive figure who has been Benedict's right hand man for years.
Bertone will have the responsibility of disposing of the "Fisherman's Ring" -- a personalised gold signet ring that is a papal symbol and was traditionally destroyed after a pope's death to prevent his seal being put on fake documents.
Bertone and the cardinals will then set a date for the start of a conclave to which the world's 117 "cardinal electors" -- cardinals below the age limit of 80 -- are all invited to elect a new pope.
Indonesian cardinal Julius Riyadi Darmaatmadja -- one of the 117 -- has already said he will not be travelling to Rome because of his ailing health.
There are doubts too over the presence of US cardinal Roger Mahony, who is accused of covering up sexual abuses committed by paedophile priests in his archdiocese of Los Angeles for many years.
No clear favourite has emerged although the pope's announcement indicates the need for a younger pope.
Vatican watchers say cardinals may also opt for a more pastoral, less academic figure.
Under usual rules, the conclave has to start between 15 and 20 days after the pope passes away but Vatican lawyers are hard at work to see if that timeline can be brought forward in this case.
The cardinals meet behind closed doors under Michelangelo's frescoes in the Sistine Chapel and their deliberations are carried out under a strict vow of secrecy on pain of excommunication.
A conclave can last for days before any candidate wins a two-thirds majority, after which the nominee is asked if he accepts and the ballots are burnt in a special stove that puts out white smoke.
The new pope then retreats to a "Room of Tears" where he dons the papal vestments and emerges onto a balcony over St Peter's Square to the Latin cry of "Habemus Papam!" ("We have a pope!")

Now Serving Ghostly Spirits
A topic that always prompts a bit of friendly debate round the bar is the subject of ghosts, and strange things that go bump in the night. Whether or not you believe, there have been many unexplained sightings and experiences in Grace Neill's over the years.
Derek Acorah made a name for himself as Medium on TV's ghost-hunting series Most Haunted. He paid a visit to Grace Neill's a few years ago, and was convinced he found a restless spirit roaming through the building.
Bangor based ghost-hunter Mike Hirons also paid us a visit, and was so convinced of the spirit presence here, he held a séance in order to communicate with the ghosts he found. You can see footage of that séance below.
Both these paranormal experts are convinced that they have communicated with the spirit of Grace Neill herself, who, it is believed, feels lonely sometimes as she can see the hustle and bustle of real people in the bar but can't talk to them.
When she ran the pub, Grace was known to be a friendly and welcoming woman, and loved to chat to customers through the pub. The incidences of ghostly activity are believed to be examples of Grace still trying to communicate, to this day.
Unusual events that have been witnessed include:
Glasses and books being moved about, both in the original part of the bar and the newer areas. This still happens, particularly late at night, as if an extra pair of hands are trying to help tidy up.
A whisky bottle suddenly split open, dousing the bar in alcohol. When the barman examined the bottle, it hadn't been hot under a lamp, it hadn't fallen over, and it hadn't been knocked by other bottles.
A customer once saw her glass slide straight across the table. When she told the barman what had happened, they checked the table – it wasn't wet, it was completely level, and she wasn't the worse for wear!
Lights in various rooms somehow switch themselves off when they have been switched on; and to add to the mischief they get switched on when they have been switched off. Electricians have checked the wiring and can't see anything wrong.
Various members of staff over the years have, unaware of previous statements, reported feeling something like a force or presence "pass through them".
Customers and staff have from time to time noticed the distinctive smell of pipesmoke wafting round the bar, even though there is a smoking ban throughout the establishment. Oddly, Grace was known to be very fond of smoking a clay pipe.

China Approves Microsoft, Nokia Deal With Conditions on Prices
China's Ministry of Commerce approved Microsoft Corp.'s bid to take over Nokia Oyj's phone business after winning pledges from both that the transaction won't mean higher fees for the nation's smartphone makers.
Microsoft pledged not to raise fees for its patents after the deal is complete, according to a statement posted on the ministry's website. Nokia pledged no large changes in its current compensation structure for standard-essential patents.
Chinese regulatory approval follows sign-off from the European Commission, the U.S. Justice Department and other jurisdictions and will allow the transaction to close this month, Espoo, Finland-based Nokia said in a statement today. Chinese phone makers including Huawei Technologies Co. had asked China to set conditions on the deal, two government officials with knowledge of the matter said last year.
"Chinese regulatory approval has been the remaining hurdle and now we expect the deal to close swiftly during April," said Sami Sarkamies, an analyst at Nordea Bank AB in Helsinki. "China is a key mobile devices market representing already a third of the global market volume."
No government authorities requested the company make changes to its licensing or royalty terms, Nokia said in its statement.
Microsoft won't ban Chinese phone makers from using patents needed to comply with a technical standard, according to the statement from the Chinese regulator.
New Strategy
Joanna Li, a Beijing-based spokeswoman for Microsoft, said she didn't immediately have information available on the ministry's decision.
Nokia has said completion of the transaction will allow it to unveil its new strategy and chief executive.
Rajeev Suri, the head its networks business, is among candidates for the top job. The new CEO will try to revive 149-year-old Nokia, which is intensifying its focus on wireless-network equipment as it faces a new start without the mobile-phone business that made it famous.
