Skip to comments.Just curious,, what are the better brands of ammunition?
Posted on 11/29/2008 5:53:57 PM PST by freemike
Just want to know if the cheaper brands of ammo are OK. Been hearing some mixed things about American ammo. Any feedback is helpful. 45 cal and 12 gauge and 7.62 are a few rounds I enjoy,, but I have some experience with others. I know more about handguns than I do rifles. Never hunted but am thinking about it for next year. Always wanted a good lever action hunting rifle. Any suggestions there as well?
Oh, this'll get a few responses.
Wiley Coyote always buys Acme brand.
Try to "roll your own" - reload your own ammunition. Then you can't blame anyone when you get a misfire.
Federal, Remington....Winchester
The best is ALWAYS what you re-load on your own...provided you learn how, and pay attention to what you're doing :)
On the lever action, for medium sized game, a Winchester 30/30 pre 1964.
The vast majority lever action rifles you'll find are chambered for 30-30, .44 Mag or .22 LR/Mag. There are other calibers, of course, but mostly pistol and revolver.
Marlin 336 30/30 lever action
Federal, Remington, any good American brand
Is this really cheaper overall,, and does it require some kind of license??
The lacquered centerfire stuff from WOLF has a reputation for fouling autoloaders, but beyond that most major manufacturers make decent ammunition. There are "promotional" lines made by many companies, like Federal's "American Eagle" and what's usually called "Winchester White Box" that are inexpensive and many purchase it for practice. I would be carefull purchasing foriegn made military surplus stuff, but any of the major sellers are ok in my experience.
Remington Express High Brass.
Federal/CCI, Winchester, Sellier & Bellot.
+1 on the Marlin 336.
For hunting ammo, Federal gets my vote. Federal premium ammo, often with Nosler Partition bullets, works well in hunting big came.
Federal is also good in shotgun ammo
Fiocchi used to be a cheap(er) import brand I liked in 9mm FMJ practice ammo. They also make good shotgun ammo.
PMC makes good ball/practice ammo as well.
Black Hills makes excellent ammo in military calibers (5.56 and 7.62).
Sellier & Bellot .45&9mm. PMC .45, CCI lawman .45
Depends on what you are looking for. Black HIlls, Winchester, Federal is good. etc. Main thing is to get plenty now while you can
Cannot beat a Marlin.
Wolf, on the other hand, I will never buy again. The last straw was a Wolf .45 round which had a case split, jamming it in the gun.
Corbon has always done well for me, and they have had many ingenious developments like the Glaser safety slug.
Thanks. I will be looking into this.
Love my Marlin, good gun, good price @ Walmart. Thumbs up on Sellier & Bellot too in .45 in my CZ.
I've shot all Wolf in my WASR, no problems. That's why it's lacquered, I think.
Marlins are soo safe, I missed a coyote once because of the stupid safety button. Hammer was half-cocked and safety button was 'on'. I jacked the damn lever till the gun was empty thinking the shells were duds...It was brand new and my previous gun was a Win.94 (no safety button) DOH!
Uh, you use whatever your gun likes. Feed it different brands while target shooting and you'll figure it out. I do shy away from the dirty stuff though.
Ping to self: Ammo.

One of my favorite Internet sites is Real Guns where a lot of the technical stuff about "handloading" is discussed in detail. Old hands will find something of interest and the beginner will find a treasue trove of imformation on the subject.
One of the projects on this site got me started in handloading. See Reloading the .257 Weatherby ... in Excruciating Detail Part 1 and Part 2
I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do.
Semper Fi
An Old Man
ping reloads
A local gunsmith, a man who actually makes his living repairing weapons, told me to avoid the ammo they sell at WalMart. He said a lot of his customers have had trouble with it.
Try to "buy American", but in the end, get a good deal and buy in bulk.
Check out www.ammoman.com. For the .45, 12, and 7.62 (x52?). Stick to re loadable, non corrosive cases. The only Wolf brand ammo that should be considered is 7.62x39 and .22. The AKs were designed to run the steel cased stuff. Don't worry too much about the lacquer coating on the cases unless you are firing full auto a lot (heat, melting, buildup). The Wolf .22 match is actually manufactured in Germany under license.
Good luck!
Stay alert
First the rifle. Try a Marlin. If you want something w/ pop get a guide gun in 45-70 or 450 Marlin. Deer size, go w/ the 336 in 30-30 or the new rifle in 308 Marlin, using the new soft point Hornady Ammo. Ammo? Hornady, Nosler are always good. As for handguns, Hornady, Winchester, Speer and a bunch of other name brands are good.
Take a look at the Browning BLR. It's a lever action with a removable box magazine, so it can be chambered in all those good "pointy-nose" calibers like 308, 30-06, 243, etc.
I have one in .308 and it's awesome.
"....avoid the ammo they sell at WalMart. He said a lot of his customers have had trouble with it."
Curious. I just went to WalMart the other day at the recommendation of FReepers and bought Remington. Why would a box of Remington 7.62 X 39 be different from a box of Remington 7.62 X 39 from someplace else?
Ooo, that's bad; thanks for the heads-up. Did it lodge far enough in to allow the next round to load? That's when really bad things happen i.e. damaged barrel.
It isn't. It is made from the same raw materials, same processes, same specifications and same workers. That is also true of the other manufacturer's promotional brands.
Speer markets three different lines of ammo ("Blazer Brass", "Independence" and "Lawman" that differ only in the packaging artwork. Same for Federal and "American Eagle". Same with Winchester and "USA". Same with Remington and "UMC". Get the picture?
Buy a major American brand by price for best ammo and results.
"A local gunsmith, a man who actually makes his living repairing weapons, told me to avoid the ammo they sell at WalMart. He said a lot of his customers have had trouble with it."
He actually makes his living repairing weapons and he didn't tell you which brands to avoid, he only told you which non union store to not buy them at?
If you are thinking of cost, DRY FIRE. You can do it in the front room, the bedroom or on the back porch. You can do it when it's 30 degrees and snowing hard, sunny and warm or when it's raining cats and dogs. Practice in the dark more often than in the bright light. You can do it with a .22 derringer, a .50 caliber Barrett and every weapon in between.
Ninety five percent of shooting is position or stance, how you hold the weapon, breathing, concentration on the target (being able to block out the noises around you) and how you squeeze (not pull) the trigger. You don't need a bullet coming out the barrel to tell you if that shot will hit what you are aiming at.
If you are practicing with a handgun, practice drawing from the holster for every shot. Bringing the weapon up to the "ready" position is 99% of the task. If you fumble your draw, you will lose the game, guaranteed! So practice the most important part the most often.
That is the most hilarious thing I have ever heard. Sounds exactly like a big media response ... slightly slanted (understatement)and without any logicality to the statement, Obvious a WalMart hater. sheeeeesh .... and people like that want us to think they are credible????
"Obvious a WalMart hater."
Precisely my thought upon reading that response as well.
Remington, Winchester, Federal? Avoid those brands? And Wal-Mart has the best distruibution system in the country, so I don't think it's been sittin' around for long. Sounds like anti-Wal-Mart BS.
It is reliable (no failures yet), but not quite as accurate as I would like (shooting 55 grain out of a 1/9 twist the groups are about twice as large as what I can achieve with my stash of Lake City). So far I've tried three batches (one was actually branded "Monarch" from a local Academy, but it is manufactured by Privi Partisan) with consistent results.
I would use something else for competition, but it is decent ammo for training or plinking.
The Monarch was what I saw at the Academy store. It's not really cheap, but the FMJ and the soft point were the same price, so I thought I might try some of the soft point. About a month ago, Gander Mt. had Lake City XM193 for $7.50 box/20. Should have bought more!

Mossberg reviews the iPod Mini, "a gorgeous device"
"For about a week, my assistant Katie Boehret and I have been testing the iPod Mini. Katie has been toting a pink model everywhere—while walking, riding the D.C. subway and flying. I've been using a gold one and a blue one in the house, car and office. We both like these gadgets a lot. In our tests, they exceeded Apple's claims for both battery life and storage capacity.
The iPod Mini is a gorgeous device that displays Apple's famous touch for people-pleasing design. At only half an inch thick, and about the length and width of a business card, it feels great in the hand and slips into even a small pocket or purse. It is the first iPod that naturally belongs on an armband for exercising, and Apple will sell such a band as an option."

How could it exceed Apple's claims for storage capacity? 4 GB is 4 GB (as a matter of fact, a bit less than that because a hard disk gigabyte is 1000 MB, while a gigabyte in computer terms is 1024 MB)
Or do you mean that songs that it holds? That really dosn't say much besides the implication that the songs you listen to on average are shorter than 4 minutes.
I'm glad to hear that the battery life is good tho :)

i think it could hold up to 5,000 songs at low bit rates.
Posted by dave in Irvine, CA on February 11, 2004 at 10:33 PM (CST)
At 128kbps, 1 minute of music roughly equals to 1MB, a 4 minute (average listed by Apple) song equals to 4MB, at 4GB (4,000MB) you could fill roughly 1,000 songs - equally, if the song is only 2 minutes long, then at 128kbps it would be 2MB, if all the songs you would like to put on your iPod mini are 2 minutes long, then it could fill 2,000 songs - as oppose to 1,000 songs.
Simple maths dude! and I thought you were smart when you start talking of "computer terms"... maybe too smart for your own good ;-)

I only have one issue with the article. It is something that has been mentioned all over the place.
The iPod mini isn't competing with the "larger" iPod. There are other MP3 players that are from Rio and the like, that have the same capacity, and cost the same as the mini.

Outstanding 4.6 /5 from 12 reviews
The accommodations were very comfortable and the owners was a terrific host. I would recommend staying here as it is right in town and has tremendous charm.
Host Michael was so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was amazing, healthy yet tasty, even home-made granola and divine cranberry scones! Coffee and tea available in cozy lobby, sitting rooms available, but our room had plenty of comfort with good chairs and great bed. Walk to beach and historic downtown, with shopping and good restaurants.
I was in town for a company holiday party and found this lovely bed and breakfast to be charming and the breakfast was wonderfully delicious. Thank you to our host!! We truly enjoyed our night there... too bad we were not there a little longer. Very convenient to the thruway and a walk away to the village shops and restaurants.
Very quiet place, but on the main drag and just steps away from boutique shopping, restaurants, movie theater, art gallery, antique shop, food shops, ice cream parlor, first rate book store, across the street from the Library, lovely setting among old homes and stately trees. Beautifully decorated and appointed. Fantastic breakfast. Owners very helpful in recommendations, things to do. Largest state park/beach/bike trail/birdwatching all 10 minutes away. You will never find a more comfortable or more convenient place to stay.
Absolutely wonderful B & B! Michael is a wonderful innkeeper and chef. The breakfasts were the best-- my husband is still talking about the tasty frittata! Clean and comfy with lots of attention to detail are what you will find here. Gardens filled with flowers and birds are an added bonus and the inn is a short walk to the beach. We also had a superb dinner just down the street at Elizabeth's Cafe. The Scranton Seahorse was a delightful experience for our first time in Madison. We only wish we could have stayed longer but hope that we can visit again. THANK YOU, Michael, for the wonderful stay!

MamaMancini's Holdings, Inc. (MMMB) Demonstrates Strength And Strategy In Growth Initiatives, Financial Results 0 commentsNov 19, 2013 5:16 PM
MamaMancini's manufactures and markets specialty pre-prepared frozen and refrigerated "all natural" food products. The company on its website also provides consumers with food-related blogs, unique recipes, and video cooking instructions.
As an emerging company, MamaMancini's offers a small assortment of Italian food products in gourmet catalogs as well as on approximately 19,500 shelves in supermarkets and club stores across the nation. This compares to inventory stocked on approximately 12,000 shelves a year ago.
Through successful efforts to expand its distribution channel, MamaMancini has established distribution partnerships with major retailers such as Costco, Publix, Shop Rite, Price Chopper, Redners, Pathmark, A&P, Waldbaums, Food Emporium, Whole Foods, Shaw's Supermarkets, Kings, Key Foods, Giant Eagle, Stop-n-Shop, Giant Stores, Food Town, Kroger, Winn Dixie, Market Basket, Albertsons, Shoppers, Wal-Mart, Marsh's Supermarkets, Bashas, Bi-Lo, Central Markets, Weis Markets, Ingles, and The Fresh Market.
These strong distribution channels have driven third-quarter triple-digit revenue growth and add weight to the company's guidance for continued increases throughout the fourth quarter of 2013.
Third-quarter revenues increased 124 percent to $2.17 million compared to revenues of $0.97 million reported in the third quarter of 2012, reflecting an increase in the number of locations that carry the company's products.
SG&A for the quarter was $1.1 million compared to $712,000 as the company ramped up its advertising and marketing to create brand awareness. Looking ahead, MamaMancini plans to launch radio, social media and other marketing campaigns, and as a result of ongoing and future efforts expects fourth-quarter revenue to grow between 133-158 percent to between $2.8 million and $3.1 million.

The Stormlight Archive sequence began in 2010 with the New York Times best seller The Way of Kings. Now, the eagerly anticipated Words of Radiance continues the epic story and answers many of your questions.
Six years ago, the Assassin in White, a hireling of the inscrutable Parshendi, assassinated the Alethi king on the very night a treaty between men and Parshendi was being celebrated. So began the Vengeance Pact among the highprinces of Alethkar and the War of Reckoning against the Parshendi.
Now the Assassin is active again, murdering rulers all over the world of Roshar, using his baffling powers to thwart every bodyguard and elude all pursuers. Among his prime targets is Highprince Dalinar, widely considered the power behind the Alethi throne. His leading role in the war would seem reason enough, but the Assassin's master has much deeper motives.
Expected by his enemies to die the miserable death of a military slave, Kaladin survived to be given command of the royal bodyguards, a controversial first for a low-status "darkeyes". Now he must protect the king and Dalinar from every common peril as well as the distinctly uncommon threat of the Assassin, all while secretly struggling to master remarkable new powers that are somehow linked to his honorspren, Syl.
Brilliant but troubled Shallan strives along a parallel path. Despite being broken in ways she refuses to acknowledge, she bears a terrible burden: to somehow prevent the return of the legendary Voidbringers and the civilization-ending Desolation that will follow. The secrets she needs can be found at the Shattered Plains, but just arriving there proves more difficult than she could have imagined.
Meanwhile, at the heart of the Shattered Plains, the Parshendi are making an epochal decision. Hard pressed by years of Alethi attacks, their numbers ever shrinking, they are convinced by their war leader, Eshonai, to risk everything on a desperate gamble with the very supernatural forces they once fled. The possible consequences for Parshendi and humans alike, indeed, for Roshar itself, are as dangerous as they are incalculable.
The doors of the Stormlight Archive first opened to us with The Way of Kings. Listen to that book and then Words of Radiance, and you can be part of the adventure every dazzling step of the way.
©2014 Dragonsteel Entertainment, LLC (P)2014 Macmillan Audio
I read, I write; I listen
"Book !!; no let down- "Words of Radieance" shines"
In the first book, "The Way of Kings," we were introduced to the world of Roshar. It is a world of magic and aliens where hurricane-like storms lay savage to the world every few days and all of its inhabitants must adapt their lives accordingly. It is a world at war between the human armies led by High prince Dalinar Kholin and the Parshendi, a humanoid species. We were introduced to Jasnah, who is a renowned scholar and the niece of the High Prince Dalinar Kholin, her student Shallan, and Kaladin, a slave that by the end of Way of Kings is beginning to become the world's first Knight's Radiance in centuries.
If you haven't read/listened to "The Way of Kings," I would strongly recommend that you do before going on to this second book, "Words of Radiance." If you have read/listened to the first book I would recommend a review of TWOK before going on since it has been over four years and the second book starts off right where "The Way of Kings," left off.
At 48 hours and 15 minutes this is a long book, in fact Brandon Sanderson posted on his blog that he wrote the manuscript under the working title "the Book of Endless Pages." He was referring to the endless learning set forth in his first book but it seemed appropriate given its length; but don't let the length of this book deter you as I listened the hours seemed to fly past. This is an amazing book.
"Word of Radiance" focuses on four characters: Kaladin, Shallan, Dalinar, and Adolin. In TWOK Kaladin was the main character and is still very prevalent but this book reveals more about Shallan. Like "The Way of Kings," Sanderson interlaces the present with the past, developing the background on the main characters' while moving the plot forward.
This is only book two in a ten part series and even though I can't wait for the next book I found the ending satisfactory.
I word about the narrators, I've always been a big fan of Michael Kramer and Kate Reading and I thought they gave another great performance.
Fantasy/Sci-Fi Fan
"48 more hours of Sanderson goodness!"
When I wrote my (too) short review of the first book in this series, The Way of Kings, I ended it with this sentence: "This book is so good I will gladly listen to it again as a refresher when book two comes out!"
Well I am back to say that I followed through on my promise and it was worth every second. The Stormlight Archive is epic fantasy at it's best and Sanderson shows why he is at the top of my must read/listen list. Here I am fresh off of investing close to 94 hours of my life listening to books 1 and 2 of the Stormlight Archive and I am ready for more.
The world is rich and deep, the characters are complex, and the magic systems are true Sanderson - well defined, unique, and interesting. All of the main characters are back and the story just gets bigger and bigger. For most authors the end of this book would be a satisfying conclusion to any series but it is obvious that this one is just getting started. Sanderson set the bar so awfully high with the Mistborn series that I am truly impressed he was able to surpass himself with the Stormlight Archive.
Veteran narrators Michael Kramer and Kate Reading are back and once again breathe life into all of the great characters. It was a pleasure to listen to them both for 90+ hours and I can't wait for book three. These two know epic fantasy and combine with Sanderson to form a perfect highstorm of epic proportions.
If you like fantasy books then you will feel like a kid in a candy store here. It is time for you to run up to the counter and plunk down your credit(s) to enjoy this wonderful experience. You won't find more hours of entertainment for so little cost anywhere else. Of course you should start with The Way of Kings but be assured that 94 listening hours later you will find yourself back at the candy store counter standing on your tip toes and holding up another credit. Of course, I will be standing right next to you. :)
On Audible since the late 1990s, mostly science fiction, fantasy, history & science. I rarely review 1-2 star books that I can't get through
"Epic fantasy, with huge emphasis on the epic part"
This is what motivates my review: I have just spent over a month listening to over 80(!!) hours of The Stormlight Archive, and I find myself wishing for the next book. Usually, I need a break between audiobooks in a series, not so here, despite the length. So, as far as compelling listen-ability is concerned, this is a clear winner, well-read and fun as well!
You can stop reading here, if you want, since I feel completely justified in the five stars, but, still, there are a few issues, issues that mostly come from it being such an obviously EPIC epic. First, Sanderson is up to his usual trick of making an elaborate magic system with complex internal symmetries as a key driver of the plot. To an experienced Sanderson reader, some of the story is just waiting for the twists and turns to play out. How they do so is always interesting, and this is Sanderson's best yet, but, still, there are many echoes of Mistborn/Steelheart/Elantris, etc. The result makes elements of the plot a little obvious at times, though some occasional twists help keep things fresh.
Second, since this novel covers so much ground and is full of (occasionally exhausting) detail, Sanderson's squeamishness about issues like sex or desire stand out in a particularly glaring fashion. Fight scenes and horrific murders are portrayed in great (and well-written) detail, but the novel goes full young adult when discussing other forms of human interaction. I am not talking about a lack of anything graphic, but the complete modesty of the characters, especially the non-married characters, gets in the way of character-building, makes Kaladin and Shallan feel less well-rounded than they should be.
Still, Sanderson doesn't do grimdark (like Martin or Abercrombie), and it is nice to have a good old fashioned fantasy series, full of mysteries and destinies and action, to explore. I will be waiting for the next!
"By FAR, one of the best fantasy epics to date."
This is, easily, the most enjoyable audiobook I've ever listened to. The narrator's are the best in the business, but the book itself stands next to it's predecessor (Way of Kings) as being one of the best fantasy epics to date. Wheel of Time had it's merits, and Sanderson has obviously been inspired by Robert Jordan's long-form fantasy series (he wrote the last few books after Jordan's death). That being said, Sanderson has fully surpassed his mentor in the epic fantasy genre. His description is perfect, and doesn't drag on like RJ's, remaining interesting as Sanderson masterfully weaves it into more pressing material. This series, the Stormlight Archive, is unforgettable. I hope to be buying every new outing in the Archive for years and years to come.
"Best Audible ROI ever."
They say the retail on this book was $55. After listening to it, I would have paid that much to hear it. That I got it for 12 bucks just boggles my brain.
Thanks Audible. Seriously. An absolutely incredible book worth DAYS of enraptured entertainment for less than I would spend going to see a 90 minute Hollywood film that I would have enjoyed far less.
"Not all those who wander are lost" -JRR Tolkien
"48 Hours Well Spent"
Easily one of the best. I would look forward to driving long distances alone just so I could continue the story.
I sometimes regret starting this book series as it is rumored to be at least 10 books. Since Sanderson likes to juggle 5 different books series simultaneously, there is no telling when he will finish it! It will be like A Song of Ice and Fire all over again....
Tell us about yourself!
"Best Fantasy Novel of 2014"
Is it even possible to say enough good things about this novel? Or, to say anything that hasn't already been said? Sanderson is a marvel. This is a massive novel that reads like a book half its page length. The story rarely dragged, even the interlude chapters that irritated me in the first book, in Words of Radiance were fun, interesting, and whimsical. More than that, they actually started to make sense in the overall, emerging, story. The story is also tight and focused, almost exclusively following the central characters through the primary storyline. Unlike most fantasy novels of this length, there are no lingering subplots, no secondary characters to drag to the central story off in different directions in order to drag out the plot and lengthen the drama. On top of all this praise, hard as it is to be believe, but I feel like Brandon Sanderson is growing as a writer. His novels are not only becoming more complex but his writing is growing more intricate and sophisticated, no longer relying on typical descriptors or dramatic queues that so often make high fantasy stories predictable. More than this, Sanderson does not rely on graphic violence, graphic sex, or out-of-place profanity the way other working fantasy writers do. While it doesn't bother me in other books, it is often used as a crutch to prop up weak writing. As for narration, Michael Kramer and Kate Reading are simply put, the best American fantasy narrators in the audiobook industry. This series is a must-read for any fan of high fantasy.
Hey Audible, don't raise prices and I promise to buy lots more books.
"A page-turner"
Brandon Sanderson is one of my favorite authors. His development of unique characters, worlds and systems-of-magic are perhaps for many of us without parallel in modern writing. It is in the actual writing that I am sometimes left frustrated. The story-telling is superb and keeps me coming back there's no question about it. I finished the book in less than a week and that after spending the previous week reading Book 1. Every available and non-sleeping moment was spent with the book. But there was always something missing... something that said this is still just not a literary work. Maybe it just seemed to me to be a bit too commercial. But Sanderson is young and I have no doubt that his writing will mature even more and I will come to a completely different conclusion about his place in history and the body of works considered great literature.
The production and narration by two premier narrators was excellent.
"long and captivating"
A familiar Sanderson pattern, the characters are often frustrating for their obtuse stubbornness, but the tension and uncertainty that creates drives an excellent story.
Actor/director/teacher. Split my time between Beijing and Seattle now. Listen to Audible on the subway and while driving or riding my bike.
"Gruelingly epic"
I suspect that Sanderson's story ideas always begin with the creation of a complex and fascinating new system of magic, for it is in this above all that he excels. Mistborn is the prime example, of course, but now he is dazzling us with an entirely new magical structure with the Stormlight Archives, and just to pass the time and keep his mind limber perhaps, he has added Steelheart for good measure. I do admire the way he begins with a simple, basic premise and then develops it ad infinitum, exploring all the imaginative ways the system can be exploited and stretched by his characters.
And, speaking of characters, Sanderson is no slouch in that department either. His two principal protagonists in this series, Kaladin and Shallan, are a nice mixture of powerful and vulnerable, both as combatants in the epic struggle and as human beings trying to negotiate the traps and dead ends of their own personal natures. Both are sometimes exhausting in their intensity and emotional obtuseness, but we care about them and when they soar they take us with them in exhilaration. And happily they are surrounded by at least a dozen other believable principal characters who elicit chuckles and sneers and sometimes wide eyed surprise from us just as the dynamic duo are becoming a bit tiresome in their single-mindedness.
Sanderson's incredibly complex plots which delve more and more deeply into his fantasy historical construct are, for me, a trifle tedious at times. They are amazing in their imaginative breadth and depth, but I just cannot care quite that much about the serpentine development playing out over the eons of his creative antiquity no matter how beautifully constructed they may be. I also have a small problem with his penchant for resurrecting characters who should be well and truly dead. Nor does he use language nearly so artfully as Abercombie or Guy Gavriel Kay. Nonetheless, he puts more than enough wonder and delight on my plate to keep me coming back again and again without complaining too much about the occasional over-seasoned brussels sprout. I look forward to the next installment with high anticipation.

President Obama Visits Baton Rouge After Criticism That He's Late
President Obama tours Louisiana's communities affected by the flood that damaged over 60,000 homes and killed 13 people.
Though she's made comments that she didn't think she would be best for the part, it seems Halle Berry is still in contention to star in a film about the life of soul legend Aretha Franklin. Franklin herself confirmed speculation about Berry's potential participation in the biopic while speaking with Macleans magazine. The Queen of Soul said, "Halle Berry is back in the game," following a recent run-in.
Franklin said, "I just saw her at the curtain of Oprah's farewell event, and she let me know that she still wants to play the role." The Oscar-winning actress previously shared trepidation about playing Aretha given she couldn't sing. Aretha says that won't be an issue. She explained, "She didn't know that she wasn't expected to sing. I told her, 'No, we never expected you to sing; we already knew you weren't a singer!' But I do think she could pull it off though."
Berry has played lip sync for a role before, for her Emmy-award-winning performance as Dorothy Dandridge in Introducing Dorothy Dandrige. The Aretha movie, which is still in development, will be based on the singer's 1999 autobiography, Aretha: From the Roots. Other actresses being considered for the role include singers Fantasia and Jennifer Hudson.

Police said a winter whiteout, ice and speed were factors in a
massive, chain-reaction pileup in Michigan on Jan. 9, 2015. The sights and sounds of the nearly 200 vehicles – reportedly 76 semi-trucks and 117 passenger vehicles – crashing on both sides of the highway were horrific, according to 911 calls. The crashes killed one person and injured many others.
Driving in the winter can be harrowing, especially where blizzard and icy conditions crop up seemingly out of nowhere. Midwesterners may be used to heavy snow, but residents of states as far south as Georgia and Texas are seeing ice and snow more often. Driving can be even more treacherous in these areas because drivers are not accustomed to it.
Drivers can take precautions to ensure they will arrive safely at their destination.
If the weather is frigid, you're going to want to warm up the car before you drive it. To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning,
never leave a vehicle running in an enclosed area, such as a garage. In fact, the Consumer Product Safety Commission warns that a car running in an attached garage is never safe, even with the garage door open.
If the forecast looks iffy, wait out the storm if possible. But if you must travel make sure you share your travel plans and route with someone before you leave.
If you become stranded in an unfamiliar area, do not leave your car. Light flares in front and behind the car and make sure the exhaust pipe is not blocked by snow, mud or any object.
Besides checking the weather, it's important to have a mechanic check the condition of the following vehicle systems before heading out on the road:
You've done all you can to prepare your car, you've checked the weather, but suddenly you find yourself driving in a slippery mess. If visibility is severely limited due to a whiteout, pull off the road and don't even attempt to drive farther until conditions improve.
But sometimes water or ice on the road can surprise drivers, even with little to no precipitation. Do you know how to prevent a skid? Would you know what to do if you ended up sliding toward another vehicle or fixed object? If you don't want to end up in a crash like the one in Michigan,
AAA offers some winter driving tips.
In an emergency situation, in addition to a full tank of gas and fresh antifreeze, National Safety Council recommends having these with you at all times:
Winter road trips – even short ones – are a great way to celebrate with family and friends. Being prepared can ensure a safe and happy time is had by all.

Skin cancer 'wonder' drug that can increase lifespan by three years could be withheld by NHS until patients undergo chemotherapy
- Ipilimumab can only be used after chemo, which has numerous side effects
- Doctors and campaigners blast decision, claiming drug is 'cost neutral'
- It is used to treat melanoma, which kills 2,200 Britons each year
A new 'wonder' drug which increases survival from the most dangerous form of skin cancer must be withheld until patients have undergone chemotherapy, says the NHS rationing watchdog.
Ipilimumab increases lifespan by an average of four months in patients with malignant melanoma where the cancer has spread to other organs.
But trial data shows more than one in five patients lives for at least three years after treatment.
It is estimated the drug can help between 1,000 and 2,000 patients in the UK each year, many of them in their 20s and 30s.
Ipilimumab, also known as Yervoy, is used to treat advanced melanoma. But NHS patients can only get access to it once they have undergone chemotherapy
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) admits the drug is 'life-extending' and has already approved its use after chemotherapy.
But a new licence means the drug could be used earlier, before patients have to suffer debilitating side effects from chemo such as hair loss.
However, Nice says ipilimumab should not be available for patients at this first line stage, only if they take part in clinical trials.
The decision has alarmed doctors and campaigners, particularly as the Cancer Drugs Fund says the change would be cost neutral - adding nothing to the NHS bill.
More than 10,400 people are diagnosed with malignant melanoma each year and 2,000 people die. It is the most common kind of cancer for women in their 20s
Patients in the U.S. have been able to use the drug immediately they are diagnosed with advanced disease for the last three years because the authorities recognised the benefit.
Gill Nuttall, of the charity Melanoma UK, said: 'Advanced melanoma is a devastating diagnosis, yet treatment options remain severely limited for many patients facing this disease.
'Unless reversed, this decision by Nice will sadly continue this trend and will leave some patients without a medicine that could potentially help extend their lives.'
Around 12,800 Britons are diagnosed each year with melanoma, of which 2,200 die.
Manufacturer Bristol-Myers Squibb says the therapy - which stimulates the patient's own immune system to fight cancer - has the potential to offer long-term survival to some.
Treatment costs around £63,000, less an undisclosed discount to the NHS.
Guidance issued by Nice in December 2012, gave the go-ahead for use of the drug, also known as Yervoy, on the NHS for advanced malignant melanoma patients who have already undergone chemotherapy.
At the time, Nice called the drug a 'breakthrough treatment' saying that it could 'potentially significantly improve the prognosis for some people with malignant melanoma'.
Last year, European health officials extended the licence of the drug so it could also be used in previously untreated patients - not just those who had undergone chemotherapy.
But Nice says the manufacturer has not provided enough evidence to show the drug as a first-line treatment can extend the lives of patients.

The first shot is disconcerting. The camera is close to a wind-swept head and shoulders floating through space and backdropped by sky, clouds and trees. We're eventually shown that this is a child standing up through a car's open sunroof. Because the title "Tomboy" gives it away, we know this person with the close-cropped hair is a girl. Otherwise, there's no telling; she's 10, that pre-adolescent age when many children seem suspended between genders.
She has moved with her father, her little sister and her pregnant mother into a new neighborhood where they know nobody. Not shy but certainly reticent, she hangs on the edge of a small group of kids about her age. A friendly girl named Lisa (Jeanne Disson) asks for her name — using the French pronoun that suggests she expects to hear a male name. "Mikael," says the newcomer. In a second, she has become a boy and will be one all summer.
Celine Sciamma's "Tomboy" would have been impossible without the casting of Zoe Heran in the title role. She isn't a masculine-looking girl or a feminine-looking boy. She is fresh, attractive, open-faced. If you think you're looking at a boy, you see one. If a girl, then that's what you see. The movie doesn't have a trace of gimmick to it; it's perfectly straightforward.
The heroine's real name is Laure. There is so much love and happiness in her home, you can hardly believe it. She isn't a tortured or mistreated child; she and her little sister, Jeanne (Malonn Levana), adore each other. Her parents (Sophie Cattani and Mathieu Demy) are playfully in love, the unborn child is already a member of the family, and Laure whispers "secrets" to her. In this safe garden suburb, she spends her days outdoors, on playgrounds or in the woods or at a pond, hanging out with the others, who accept her. These aren't the mean and sadistic little creatures we sometimes find in the movies, but nice, cheerful kids. They like her. Him, I mean.
Much of this delicate movie involves our observation of Mikael in formation. She watches a soccer game, then joins it the next day, and only we would notice how she sometimes barely brushes her breasts to reassure herself they don't call attention through her T-shirt (they don't). When some boys walk to the edge of the woods to urinate, she walks in a little farther. When they go swimming, she provides for a little bulge where one should be.
Does Lisa suspect? Yes and no. She is as observant as the movie is. What should we make of a scene where Mikael sits on Lisa's bed, and she brings over cosmetics and announces she's going to apply makeup? And she does, tastefully: a hint of mascara, a touch of blush, a little lipstick. "You look good as a girl," Lisa tells Laure. "Mikael" leaves the makeup on when she goes home and her mother tells her the same thing.
The summer must end, and the deception must end as well. How this happens is not overly dramatic, and there is no tragedy. The world of these children is balanced at an age when identities are in constant formation. We're not dealing with "Boys Don't Cry" here.
"Tomboy" is tender and affectionate. It shows us Laure/Mikael in an adventure that may be forgotten in adulthood or may form her adulthood. There is no conscious agenda in view. There is just a tomboy. Not everyone needs to be slammed into a category and locked there.

How does it work?
Skin tightening treatments make use of radio frequency to stimulate the body into producing more collagen. This new collagen smoothes and tightens the skin, helping you to turn back the clock and gain a more youthful appearance. Wrinkles? What wrinkles?
Good news if you tend to be a bit impatient - the treatment will begin to tighten existing collagen immediately, so you can expect results right away. These results will continue to improve for the next six months, and can last for years, depending on the way in which your skin ages.
Is it for me?
Skin tightening can be used to deal with problems such as crow's feet, marionette lines and double chins. However, this procedure is not just restricted to the face – it can also be used to firm and tighten the décolletage and upper arms for a toned and rejuvenated effect.
Skin tightening is suitable for most people, but as with all cosmetic procedures it's a good idea to discuss the treatment with your practitioner first if you are pregnant or suffer from a medical condition – after all, it's always good to be on the safe side.
Good to know
Skin tightening is a treatment in its own right, but can also be used to enhance the effects of anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers.

The Corporate Rationalization… Recently I have been hearing about a comparison of Mary Kay and normal American Corporations. The ones who put forth the analogy want you to see the realistic and understandable scenarios of corporate structure and how Mary Kay mirrors the same structure.
In many organizations, there are only a few at the top who make the majority of the money. Think CEO, CFO, President, Vice President, Heads of Departments. Like Mary Kay, thousands of workers make minimum wage while these leaders earn the big dough. The lesson here is that if you work hard, if luck would have it, if the stars align, you might work yourself up to Dept. Head, and someday be a Vice president. Likewise, Mary Kay tells you the same thing. Work Hard, and you will make that climb, but even better for you is, the Top positions are not already filled! You can be a NEW CEO of your own company!

A lambic beer aged in Sauternes barrels, for those who don't know what they are, they are sweet French white wine barrels. This means you get a rounded refreshing lamic sour beer. You get a big farmhouse, funky nose that is tempered by the sweet wine barrel aging. The taste is very tart with, lemon and lime vibes, followed quickly by a cane sugar sweetness and finished off dry and long.
