Much of the big news related to Connecticut's Indian-owned casinos now emanates from Massachusetts, where Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun are waging all-in campaigns to sell casino projects in Bay State towns.
While Foxwoods is struggling to overcome its belated involvement in a $1 billion project proposed for Milford, in the eastern part of the state, Mohegan Sun continues to bolster an $800 million proposal that, with ancillary development, could clear the $900 million mark in the western Massachusetts town of Palmer.
On both fronts, the pace of events that promise to shape the casinos' immediate futures is quickening.
Foxwoods Massachusetts, the partnership behind the Milford plan, launched a website Monday, the same day as Milford's annual town meeting, which was scheduled to include a vote on a nonbinding resolution expressing "opposition to the siting of a casino in the Town of Milford."
But the town meeting voted 109-42 to "pass over" the resolution, in effect choosing to take no action on it. Foxwoods Massachusetts promptly issued a statement attributed to Scott Butera, Foxwoods Resort Casino's president and chief executive officer.
"Today's decision will allow Milford residents to make an informed choice in accordance with the timeline set up by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission," Butera said. "We are currently engaged in extensive study of all factors involved in bringing a resort casino to Milford in preparation for a referendum later this year. We welcome feedback from the residents of Milford so that we may proceed collaboratively, build trust and offer a resort that reflects the unique character of the community."
Earlier Monday, Foxwoods Massachusetts announced that David Nunes, a Colorado-based developer tied to a Milford casino plan since 2008, had rejoined the project's fold. Nunes, an investor in a group called Crossroads Massachusetts, had been stripped of his "authority and title" by other partners soon after Foxwoods joined the partnership.
Nunes is now chief development officer of Foxwoods Massachusetts Resort, the group said.
Foxwoods Massachusetts must reach a "host community agreement" with Milford officials and then win approval of its project in a binding town referendum.
If the project clears those hurdles, it could still have to compete against two other projects vying for the one casino license the gaming commission will award for the Greater Boston region. The others are Wynn Resorts' plan for Everett and Suffolk Downs' proposal for a facility at the horse racing track that straddles the East Boston-Revere line.
Mohegan Sun also is locked in a three-way competition with deep-pocketed casino operators, including MGM Resorts International, which wants to put a casino in Springfield, and Hard Rock International, which has targeted a West Springfield site.
Mohegan Sun, which filed an application for a $600 million Palmer casino in January, made good Friday on its promise to sweeten the deal, announcing a partnership with a Boston real estate firm known for developing shopping centers.
Finard Properties would build a 300,000-square-foot retail complex, bringing the investment in the project to nearly $800 million.
"Their creativity and expertise will be a huge asset to our application for the western Massachusetts gaming license," Mitchell Etess, CEO of the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority, said of Finard Properties.
The company's CEO, Todd Finard, said his company would create "a dynamic and thriving first-class retail component comprised of restaurants, entertainment, and international fashion brands."
Earlier this month, the owner of the Palmer property where Mohegan Sun would develop the casino project announced plans for $125 million worth of ancillary development on land abutting the site. Northeast Realty, the property owner, would develop the land in partnership with Cardinal's View LLC, whose plans call for a hotel, retail space, a lifestyle center and commercial office space.
Mohegan Sun Massachusetts officials have said they expect to reach a host community agreement with Palmer officials in July. A townwide referendum on the casino project could then take place in September.
Massachusetts gaming regulators expect to award gaming licenses by the end of February 2014.

Customer Reviews
Very disappointed
I have been using adobe products for many years. I recently upgraded to Creative Cloud and wanted ago learn about Premiere Pro for a new project I am undertaking. There is a lot of training available form Adobe but I thought having videos all easily available in an APP would be great. When I looked in the APP for videos available for Premiere Pro the most current is dated March, 28, 2011 which is 2.5 years old. In addition there are no videos available for getting started with the Premiere Pro product. I figured for two dollars how could I go wrong, well I did. With the rapid growth of the technology using education that is 2.5 years old is not where I want to start my learning process.
Informative and personable
I recently delved into CC as a pastime, like learning a new language to keep my mind active. Adobe offers a fine collection of tutorials, but this is a wonderful additional resource. The presenter's style is easy to follow. I've found that listening to sessions as they come up introduces worthwhile concepts that I might not have otherwise gone searching for.
I havr always loved Terry's app until I tried to share with my students. the share page comes up but doesn't let you send. at first I couldn't see the send button. please check for bugs.

BARBARA McCREERY, the former principal at Bok Technical High School, handed over last month her administrative credentials to the state Department of Education in connection to cheating allegations when she was head of Communications Technology High School. Yet, McCreery continued to work as a principal, breaking the law in the process, while the district remained in the dark about her eligibility status. Schools spokesman Fernando Gallard said the district was notified Wednesday of the education department's agreement with McCreery to take their administrative credentials "in lieu of discipline." McCreery clocked in for another 10 days ¬– including a full week off at Spring Break -¬ at her $142,724-per-year job at Bok in South Philadelphia until Wednesday, her official last day. "When an educator no longer holds the necessary certification for a specific position, he or she has no right to hold that position and they are legally wrong if they stay in that position," education department spokesman Timothy Eller wrote in an e-mail late Tuesday.

Recap: 'The Amazing Race' -- 'Sean Penn Cambodia Here We Come'
You can identify scarves and walk like a monkey, but without a passport, you can't race around the world
If tragedy is good television drama -- and "Brothers & Sisters" keeps trying to pretend it is -- then Sunday's (Oct. 11) episode of "The Amazing Race" was a very fine hour of TV.
If, however, you watch "The Amazing Race" for the teams you want to root for, or if you think that "tragedy" is much, much too strong a word for what transpired on Sunday's episode, then it was just a slightly sad and disappointing episode.
Sunday's episode was the second consecutive week in which both the Roadblock and the Detour were easy enough that neither task actually impacted placement for the leg, which means that in the absence of the final twist, it might have been one of the show's dullest episodes to date, so the producers are probably relieved at The Really Bad Thing That Happened, because at least it gave them something to promote.
[Thoughts on Sunday's "Amazing Race" episode, with spoilers, after the break...]
From the very first week, I said that Zev & Justin were my favorites and nothing they did in subsequent episodes did anything to change my mind. They were smart, funny and tried hard and, best of all, they were a pair of male friends who just seemed to like spending time together, without any bluster or bravado or frat boy antics. Every year there seems to be a team like this, usually a couple misfits. Team Aspy fit the bill.
I was being distracted by all of the sporting events on my TV and I may possibly have missed a detail or two. If so, please remind me in polite fashion...
Team Aspy was eliminated on Sunday night because Zev's passport went missing. That caused them to get the boot after a leg they actually won, making things even worse. I may have missed it, but despite the ongoing presence of the show's cameras, I don't think we ever saw what happened to Zev's passport. So Zev wasn't sure if he had had it and lost it, so he took responsibility. And Justin wasn't sure if Zev had handed him his passport for safe-keeping, so he took responsibility. Probably there was footage that contained the answer, but the "Amazing Race" producers held it back, perhaps to keep the issue of "blame" off the table. Or at least the producers downplayed what happened. I thought I saw Zev drop something as the team got into their cab after the Roadblock, but it may just have been his hat and he may also have picked it up. Either way, the camera didn't linger on the loss of the passport and it wasn't an event accompanied by portentous music.
"It was just a freak thing that happened," Zev said, as Justin was blaming himself. And that's the way "The Amazing Race" treated it.
The worst part was host Phil Keoghan's Emmy-worthy sadness at their plight. First he was so very happy to welcome them to the mat. Then his smile went away, as they showed up back at the mat, confused and despondent. He was useless, of course, doing that awful thing where he told them to recheck their bags, as if they hadn't just been turning their bags upside-down. But when they showed back again, hours later, with empty hands, there was nothing he could do. You can almost imagine Phil consulting with Bertram van Munster to see if this could be retrofitted into a non-elimination if Team Aspy made it back, lost passport resecured, only to be thwarted.
If Zev & Justin did anything to set their elimination in motion on a cosmic level, I missed it. But it may have happened. On one of their first cab rights in Phnom Penh, heading over to the Detour, they jokingly asked their cabbie Thierry about the karmic ramifications of steering a team in the wrong direction. Did they do that? There was a lot of chaos as the teams left the Foreign Correspondents' Club trying to find the source of a picture of Jackie O and it's possible that I missed their misdirection amidst the shouting of place names. But even if they did tell a team the wrong place to go, elimination would be harsh karmic retribution for such a minimal infraction.
Otherwise, how can you explain Team Meathead -- Lance and Keri's -- ability to keep going in the game despite being nearly epic twits. Zev & Justin may have given the episode its name by calling Phnom Penh "Sean Penn," but that was somehow less offensive than Keri's mispronunciation. I hope *that* wasn't why the "Amazing Race" Karma Gods eliminated Team Aspy.
Anyway, the bottom line is that this was a spectacularly lame way for my favorite "Amazing Race" team of the season to go out, but I don't know what else to say about the episode.
For the second straight week, the Detour was a one-sided waste.
The choice was between Cover or Wrap.
Wrap required the teams to go to the Russian Market, pick up a scarf at a stall and search the market for a woman wearing the same scarf.
Cover asked the teams to take four scooter helmets and sell them to a family of four for $10.
Just as last week, every team but one went with the logical choice, Wrap. And their reasons were logical as well, as even Mika was smart enough to recognize that Cover had too many variables that were out of their control.
It turned out that Cover wasn't so hard and it also wasn't very telegenic. Only Team Meathead picked that task and they completed it... How, exactly? They asked a couple people and then somebody bought their helmets. I'm not sure what the producers were expecting with that one, but it wasn't pretty and it wasn't entertaining.
The producers also ran into trouble with Wrap, which was set in a tight marketplace, given both the teams and the camera limited mobility. While several Racers said that the market was large, it's a fair guess that "The Amazing Race" mostly shut down the market, because it wasn't like there were throngs of people, just a few random tourists and and some women with colorful scarves. The flaw in the randomness was exposed when Team Miss AmEricka got lucky and had their scarf-woman walk behind them the second they got their scarf, allowing them to leapfrog two or three teams that had gotten there earlier. But I just don't like Team Miss AmEricka (more on that later).
Then the Roadblock ended up flat, despite a tremendous amount of potential.
With the question, "Who's ready to go bananas?" the Roadblock told us that in Cambodia, monkeys are so revered that there's a Royal Money Master and that people dress up like monkeys and perform money tricks and monkey dances. Now those of you who know me know that I'm a sucker for monkeys. From "Dunston Checks In" to "Ed" to "Badtime for Bonzo," if you throw in a monkey, I'm on-board. The Roadblock, though? Yawn. The teams had to learn three simple tasks and they weren't even adequately judged on performing those monkey tasks. This wasn't nearly as great as the Luchador challenge a couple seasons back or even last season's gymnastics challenge. The contestants had to walk down a balance beam three times. Even though Zev's back caused him problems and Maria's coordination caused her problems and Keri's Keriness caused her problems, how long do we really think it took any of the teams to finish that Roadblock? Five minutes? And other than Team Gay Brothers -- Sam & Dan -- temporarily moving ahead of Team Aspy, did anybody else gain or lose position? Not really.
We're now up to two straight poor episodes. Color me a bit concerned.
Other thoughts on this week's episode:
*** Sam and Dan ended up winning the leg, I guess. Was it a coincidence that this was the first time this season that a leg winner didn't receive a prize?
*** Did anybody else get stuck watching "60 Minutes" before the show because of NFL overrun? How annoyed were you that CBS' promo department totally gave away that Team Aspy was the team without a passport? Grrrr...
*** I wanted the joke to be that the teams arrived at the Foreign Correspondents' Club and then were unable to find an assignment editor because most newspapers have fired their foreign correspondents and their assignment edits. Ha. That would have been funny. But no. The joke was just that Canaan attempted to ask several editors for their next "task" instead of their next "assignment" and was repeatedly rebuffed.
*** I don't know if you know this, but Team Miss AmEricka? They're an interracial couple. It's progressive and a great sign to have them on the show, but why must every week include the two of them making a joke about it. Last week, they carried a zebra. Get it? This week, they referred to themselves as Team Jungle Love. I get it.
*** Also getting tired? Gary & Matt's "Well, we're from Montana, so we're used to this sort of thing" schtick. Yes, Matt was pretty good at directing ducks in the premiere, but his VCR deconstruction skills weren't an advantage last week and their hunting experience didn't do anything on the Detour this week. But Gary was admirably limber in the Roadblock. So there's that.
*** Stupid "Amazing Race" contestants annoy me. Or, rather, ignorant ones. Last season, I got frustrated in the task where 80 percent of the competing teams had no idea of who Chekhov was. Tonight it was the picture of Jackie O, who only half of the teams were correctly able to identify as Jackie O. I wish things had been a bit tougher so that there was some disadvantage to not recognizing her. But I do like the textless clues they've started doing again this season, with the stamp last week and the Jackie O picture this week. That harkens back to the show's early seasons.
So, did I miss the loss of the passport? Or some additional karmic violation from Zev & Justin? Are you as sad as I am to see them go?

7.00. Time to sell? Could break either way.
Personally, I think this run is good for another dollar or two as long as the market continues to rally. At $9, we're trading at about 7x FCF, which is still reasonable. That said, if you've made good money I wouldn't blame you for taking profits.
Jillian said she was an expensive woman. Take some profits.

Those same fans were clapping their hands Thursday night, however, as Yemi Makanjuola left the floor at Thompson-Boling Arena. The 6-foot-9, 244-pound freshman got a standing ovation after scoring 18 consecutive Vol points at one stretch. He also pulled down 11 rebounds in an eye-popping 13-minute relief stint that helped the Big Orange trounce The Citadel 86-55.
Stuck behind 6-foot-11, 260-pound fellow Nigerian Joseph Uchebo, Makanjuola played mostly backup minutes as a senior at Word of God Christian Academy in Raleigh, N.C., last winter. Still, he caught Martin's eye.
"He was more of a rebounder — physical and tough," the Vol coach recalled. "That's the first thing he would tell you: He would defend, he was tough, he was hardnosed. Now the offense is coming. He's putting in a lot of work on his offense."
Actually, Makanjuola's offense Thursday consisted mostly of rebounding virtually every shot his teammates missed, then scoring on putbacks and tips. Seven of his 11 rebounds were off the offensive glass and 11 of his team-high 18 points came on follow shots.
Makanjuola conceded the point, noting: "I normally try to get the rebound and make my play from the misses."
Martin agreed with that assessment.
"That's his thing; he rebounds the basketball," the head man said. "The thing that's most impressive at this point is that he's really improved his body balance to be under control to get those rebounds and keep the ball high (so opposing guards won't take it from him)."
Makanjuola's 18-point outing Thursday matched his scoring total for Tennessee's previous 11 games combined. It must be noted that his breakout game came against a team that now carries a 2-10 record and an eight-game losing streak. It also must be noted that his outburst began with 10:49 remaining and Tennessee already leading 60-38. Still, he single-handedly outscored the Bulldogs 18-10 as the lead swelled to 78-48.
"Yemi had a great game," Martin said, adding that Makanjula has "really been focusing in practice on rebounding the ball with two hands and really being aggressive."
The obvious question: If Makanjuola has been so good in practice lately, why did he fail to see action last week against East Tennessee State? Martin said the inaction was due to "matchups" but Makanjuola had another explanation.
"If you don't practice well, according to Coach, you don't get the chance to play," he said. "Last week I figured I'm not practicing hard, so I had to get my mind together and be like I used to be -- play hard and every time I get in make the best of the opportunity."
Makanjuola made the most of his opportunity Thursday night, upstaging several good performances by Vol teammates. Skylar McBee came off the bench to hit 4 of 5 shots from 3-point range in the first half. He finished 4 of 10 from the field (4 of 8 from 3) and was Tennessee's second-leading scorer with 12 points. Trae Golden chipped in 10 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds and just 2 turnovers in 24 minutes at the point. Renaldo Woolridge added 10 points off the bench as the Vols improved to 6-6. Center Mike Groselle scored 21 points for The Citadel, which trailed 40-25 at halftime and got no closer than 12 points thereafter.
Makanjuola, who said his high game in high school was 22 points, conceded that offensive rebounding is the key to his scoring output.
"That's something I had a little bit," he said. "Since I've been here my coaches have helped me work hard on it, so I think I'm better on that."
A dedicated work ethic and bubbly personality have combined to make him enormously popular with his teammates. He gave them considerable credit for Thursday's performance.
"My teammates kept pushing me to keep going," he said. "My teammates are always wanting me to do something good, so I appreciate all of them for that."
Makanjuola is even more popular with Tennessee crowds. Clearly a fan favorite, he got a hearty ovation as he left Thursday's game with 1:21 remaining. Questioned about his popularity, he shrugged.
"I guess it's my name. Because my name is funny I get the crowd's attention," he said. "It's not that I'm that good. It's just the name."
Actually, it's not the name. All-out hustle, dogged determination and an ultra-aggressive style of play have made Yemi Makanjuola a crowd favorite ... and he'll remain one as long as he exhibits those traits.

Glen Allen resident to compete for $100k in tuition at SEC championship game
Ryan Kovacik, a VCU student from Glen Allen, is one of five finalists selected by Dr Pepper to compete for $100,000 in tuition money prior to the SEC football championship game Dec. 1 in Atlanta. Kovacik submitted his video to DrPepper.com explaining why he deserved to win college tuition from the Dr Pepper Tuition Giveaway.
"Dr Pepper is a longtime supporter of college football, and we are proud to have helped so many students reach their dreams by removing the burden of tuition through the annual Dr Pepper Tuition Giveaway," said Leslie Vesper, director of brand marketing for Dr Pepper. "Once again this football season, we're giving away more than $1 million in tuition to help make paying for school a little easier, and we're very pleased that the Cowboys Classic is now part of the program."
Kovacik was selected by a panel of judges on the strength of his video submission. Entries were judged on a range of criteria, such as the inclusion of Dr Pepper, a description of how the tuition money and a college education will help the student make an impact in the world, and overall presentation quality. Kovacik's winning video can be viewed at http://bit.ly/PQeG1Q.
The five finalists first competed in a preliminary contest Nov. 30, and Kovacik was among two winners who advanced to the finals, which will air on ABC during the game. For each of the events, finalists will throw footballs from five yards away into a two-foot hole in an over-sized Dr Pepper can replica. The fan who successfully completes the most throws in 30 seconds will win the grand prize of $100,000 in college tuition. The runner-up will take home a $23,000 tuition prize, and the three contestants who did not advance from the preliminary throw will receive $2,500 in tuition.
Dr Pepper is giving away grand prizes during halftime of four conference championship games later in the year, including the Dr Pepper ACC Championship, the Pac-12 Championship, the Big Ten Championship and the SEC Championship. The brand also gave away a grand prize scholarship during the Cowboys Classic on Sept. 1.
There is still a chance for consumers 18 and older to enter to win a $2,500 tuition prize through the program by submitting videos at DrPepper.com by Dec. 31. In addition to the video submissions, Dr Pepper will also be giving away tuition through a number of retailer specific promotions.

I load PP for 9mm, and it works great....Very accurate min to max, even below min loads shoot good. You do notice the flash in dim lit indoor ranges, and on overcast days.
August 29, 2011, 05:30 PM
Awesome, time to pick some up then! I love trying out new powders. Gotta see what this Kahr likes
August 29, 2011, 10:27 PM
I use Powder Pistol for all of my 9mm loads. The flash is noticeable, and I've had great results with my loads.
August 29, 2011, 10:36 PM
I find that Power Pistol clumps up in my measure and in my ChargeMaster. I have to turn the measure upside down to let the clumps fall into the powder funnel and i have to poke the clumps to break them up. In the CM, I have to poke the powder to get it to flow out (I am not turning my CM upside down). Good powder and it will light up the indoor range at times.
Don't leave it in your powder measure for any length of time.
I prefer HS6 and Silhouette, but have no complaints about PP's performance on target.
August 29, 2011, 11:31 PM
Power pistol works great in several calibers. I use it primarily in .40SW. The powder flakes are about as big as Bullseye but definitely smaller that Unique. Powder flows nicely through the measure only sub 3gr drops cause hang ups on my Uniflow. I had a pound of HS6 that I couldn't remember why I bought it, I used it for the my first 9mm reloads 5.8gr with 125gr MBC RN.
August 30, 2011, 12:20 AM
Power Pistol was specifically formulated for small case, high pressure pistol calibers such as the 9mm, 40 S&W, and 10mm. Why wouldn't it work well?
August 30, 2011, 04:27 AM
On my last Powder Valley order, I threw in two punds of Power Pistol. I like PP a lot for 9mm and .40. I was using Unique but not anymore. Nice recoil, accurate, and I did not see any flames. It was fairly clean too but not the cleanest.
Now what do I do with the left over six pounds Unique. I will eventually use it.
August 30, 2011, 05:11 AM
I find that Power Pistol clumps up in my measure and in my ChargeMaster.
Wow! PP runs through my powder measure like sand....And yeah, when your done using a powder, put it back in the original sealed container;)
August 30, 2011, 12:53 PM
I also just picked up some PP for loading 40 SW. I am trying it in 9mm.
I notice a big difference in load values between Speer 14 and the new Hornady #8
For a 124gr FMJ RN Speer lists 5.6 to 6.4gr 1.135
Hornady lists 4.3 to 5.7gr for the same weight shape bullet 1.150
Alliant only list for the 124 GDHP at a max of 6.4. 1.120
I put 6.4 grs in a empty case and to me it would be a compressed charge (or almost) when a bullet is seated.
After shooting this powder in the 40 SW it is a flash , bang, LOUD powder. I can not imagine what 6.4 grs in a 9mm would be??
What are powder charges are you all using??
August 30, 2011, 06:29 PM
Anybody loading 9mm with Power Pistol?
August 30, 2011, 06:51 PM
I load 5.5 grains of Power Pistol with 115 FMJ in five different 9mms for target loads. Very accurate and clean. Meters very well through my 550B. Even at that small load however, it makes quite a flash at an indoor range or in the evening.
August 30, 2011, 08:50 PM
For 9mm I use 5gr for 124gr bullets and 6gr for 115gr bullets. Both of those figures are starting loads, but cycle perfectly fine. I find that it meters very well and is accurate. This powder is kind of flashy but it really doesn't matter unless you're shooting in the dark. Flash doesn't bother me at all. Another nice thing is that a double charge overfills the case.
I also use it for .38 Special, .357 Magnum and .40 S&W. It's my favorite pistol powder so far.
My Lyman manual says 5.9gr-6.5gr for 115gr bullets and 5.1gr-5.7gr for 124gr bullets, all jacketed.

i load power pistol in 9mm with 5.9 grains and 115 grain bullets. even at this small amount, it produces a big white muzzle blast everytime you pull the trigger at an indoor range. looks cool to me!
August 30, 2011, 09:17 PM
Power Pistol gives great performance in 9mm and Super 38.
August 30, 2011, 11:13 PM
i just tried some Power Pistol with some 147g Berry RN loads in my 5.25" XDM and it shot VERY well. Both 4.5 and 4.7 shot GREAT, a bit more recoil than i expected, but very good accurate clean shooting.
August 30, 2011, 11:23 PM
My standard load is 6.0gr PP with 170gr SWC in .40SW, works great in my H&K USPc to duplicate my duty ammo for practice. I did work up a PP load my Redhawk in .44mag, 9.5grs under a 240gr SWC yielded 1000fps. Please keep in my this load is not listed anywhere, I e-mailed Alliant to find a reasonable starting load and worked up to my target speed.
Should work great in 9mm.
August 30, 2011, 11:31 PM
One more thing, I wouldn't worry to much about the flash. During daylight hours I haven't noticed a huge flash during my drills for qual.
20grs of 2400 pushing a 240gr .44 mag will produce noticable flash plus a 12in flame that I can't see, but it's really cool watching from the side.:evil:
That's what I us a basis for comparison, 9mm will be quite a bit less.
August 31, 2011, 12:22 AM
When I started handloading ~ 12 or 13 years ago, I tried to work up every 9mm bullet and powder to the point of destroying the pistol.
I did underground testing with a trigger string. Not a good idea. The back pressure sucks grit into the pistol.
I kept the records in spread sheets, not the best format for that kind of data.
But Power Pistol really stands out for getting more power out of the 9mm.
But then, lots of powders will produce more recoil than any production 9mm pistol can deal with.
For less flash, try 3N37.
September 1, 2011, 12:20 PM
well bought a pound of power pistol powder now to start working loads for 124gr plated
RN thinking I will start at 5.0 and 5.2gr and see how they fly
September 1, 2011, 04:50 PM
I just came from the range. Shot 9mm and 40 SW.
9mm, 124 gr fmjrn with 5.2 gr PP. Nice load, accurate and not too snappy
40 SW, 180 gr fmjrn with 6.0 gr PP. Much nicer than the 7.0 grs I originally used.
To hot and humid to mess with setting up the Chronograph, maybe in October.
Both out of compact CZ 75's
Next batch I am going to reduce even more, I know going the wrong way. I want to see how low and still have good function and accuracy.
Not that I care about "clean burning" as I clean my guns anyway, but this powder definitely leaves a lighter "ash" color on the spent brass rather than a dark carbon.
September 17, 2011, 08:00 PM
just tryed power pistol with 5.0 and 5.2 both functioned fine no failures 9mm 124 gr plated rn going to try these loads with different oal 1.30-1.50 and go with what works
best for me/ there just paper puncher/plinker. did not notice any huge flash or heavy
recoil with this powder ?
September 17, 2011, 10:31 PM
I use it in .45 ACP and 9mm. I load just shy of the max with FMJs in both calibers and it works great. Punchy but very accurate.
September 18, 2011, 08:53 PM
My wife like 5.6gr PP with Hornady or MG 115gr, that seems to work well for her, nice recoil and accurate enuff. Plus it makes the powder go further, I use 6.6gr in my .40 using 180gr bullets.
September 18, 2011, 11:20 PM
My favorite load is now 4.5gr Power Pistol under a 147gr FMJ Remington "match" bullet. I have found the 147gr bullets of most all makes to be more accurate in my 9mm guns (Walther, Browning, Beretta, CZ, and S&W), so now this handload is my practice round. It was chronographed at 912fps.
September 19, 2011, 12:34 AM
so far im likeing power pistol loaded up another batch to test at 5.1 for
some 124gr rn plated oal in groups at 1.3 / 1.4/ 1.5 looking foward to
test these. I think this is the part of loading I like best finding a favorite.
Next will be looking at trying it in my 40 cals ?
Thanks again for all advise and opinions can always use more:)
September 20, 2011, 10:13 AM
I have been loading Max loads of PP with 124gr Montana Gold JHP's for a couple of years now. Extra flash from my Sig P229 but less noticeable from my CZ75 SP-01. For less flash I use 3n37 but like the cost of the power pistol better.
Power Pistol is just the ticket for a pistol with a compensator.
September 20, 2011, 11:00 AM
I tried Power Pistol using a 147 gr. FMJ. It performed well at velocities between 900 and 950 fps. I finally opted for a faster burning powder with less flash ans use either Bullseye or WSF for my 9mm loads.

And this is by far the best flier I've seen in years. Amazing! If you're heading to Richmond this weekend for the NACCCs, have fun!
Austin Horse worked on this event with Red Bull for the 2012 NACCC. This art-based alleycat features 5 artists, all messenger photographers. All have contributed pieces to the
event, themed on the way of the bike. The photographs are from various messengers, around the world. These photos have been divided into 6 pieces and each piece goes to a different checkpoint.
The event begins from inside the empty walls of the gallery, where the riders rush out to the first checkpoint and collect the first piece. Then the second and so on.

No, really: Listen to Insane Clown Posse's Jack White-produced 'Arse' single
Jack White has produced a new single from Insane Clown Posse, backed by Nashville rock band Jeff the Brotherhood, of the rapping duo tackling a lesser-known Mozart song. The track is literally called "Leck Mich Im Arsch," which translates to "Lick Me in the Ass." This is a real thing.
White's Third Man Records label is releasing the 7" on Sept. 13. It will be backed by a B-side called "Mountain Girl," which is a series of "tall tales about a shotgun wedding, meth problems and moonshine," according to a release.
Stream "Arsch" below.
Aside from my initial reactions of "I just fell out my chair," "Jimmy Page is laughing somewhere" and "You're f*cking kidding me," I actually don't feel all that kidded. Judging from the promotional photos for the single, the joke isn't lost on White. And Jack White has never been one to shy away from comedy, considering the spoken-word output from Third Man, and his appearance on Stephen Colbert with his little witchy band the Black Belles.
And White doesn't mind that there's a flag down on the field for shark jumpage. I actually believe White legitimately likes ICP, though for what reasons I don't know -- is it "Miracles" meta-commentary? A comedy troupe? An unflinching, unthwarted pursuit of personal expression regardless of trend or decade? Performance art?
Personally, listening to ICP is akin to listening to a curdling Tubercular cough on scratchy tape loop. I'd just rather not. But I was talking to an industry friend last night about how the Posse's Gathering of the Juggalos has somehow begun to transcend national punchline status, though its attendees are still ripe for LOLcat-level derision. For instance, that festival -- held in the middle of nowhere -- boasts an enviable hip-hop lineup; Chris Weingarten's MTV Hive pieces do a pretty good job of summarizing.
I don't think this particular collaboration will breed too many think-pieces on ICP post-irony or anything, but it certainly got a reaction out of me. White has thrown his weight behind unknowns, lesser-knowns and forgottens. He's a fan on the fringe. This is just fringe in clown makeup.

Handheld Scanners in Supermarkets - and Audits
A while back, there was a post to a thread asking how supermarkets are preventing shoplifting with those new handheld scanners. Chains like Royal Ahold's Shop & Shop, Giant, and Tops, as well as other chains such as Bloom's and Giant Eagle have rolled out systems such as Scan It! With such a system, you use your supermarket shoppers card to release a handheld scanner at the entrance. Then, you scan and bag as you shop. The scanners have a wireless data link to try to get you to buy more things, depending upon what area of the store you are in. When you are finished, you pay at a manned or self service checkout lane.
Well, the answer to the question of how they keep people honest is printed in a brochure I found at a Stop & Shop in Connecticut:
Random Audits.
*The SCAN IT! system will randomly select orders for review. Those reviews insure system accuracy and that all items have been properly scanned.
*Notification of cashier assistance will appear when the checkout barcode is scanned.
*If selected, an associate will assist you.
*During the audit, the associate will help you check out quickly by re-scanning your items.
*By accepting the SCAN IT! terms and conditions, on your first trip you agree to allow Stop&Shop to randomly audit your order.
*You also agree to scan each and every item you intend to purchase. For any item that will not scan, you agree to separate and identify those items and bring them to the attention of the associate at checkout.
Terms & Conditions
*The full list of Terms and Conditions will be displayed for your acceptance on your first shopping trip.
*Copies of the Terms and Conditions can be found at the Service Desk.
Since these scanners have a wireless capability, presumably people monitoring the video cameras can get an idea if you are scanning a small bottle of Tabasco and placing a large bottle in the bag.
Most of the time I go into a Stop & Shop, I don't see any of the scanners removed from the board. After reading that brochure, I wouldn't use it. After I spent all that time bagging the stuff, to have someone want to do it all over again would make the total shopping time even greater than present methods.

A histologic examination of the excised specimen revealed heterotopic gastric mucosa (Figure 2). Although heterotopic gastric mucosa has been described to arise throughout the length of the alimentary tract, in the rectum it is a rare occurrence.1Most patients—about two-thirds—present with some degree of bleeding per rectum and about 10% complain of perianal pain.2Rarely, a patient will present with a complication of the heterotopic mucosa, such as rectovesicle or perianal fistula.2The lesion has a slight male predominance and symptoms tend to arise at a variety of ages, from the young to the middle aged.1,2
The tissue biopsy specimen reveals glandular structures, pits, and focal foveolar-type tissue reminiscent of gastric mucosa (original magnification × 20).
Morphologically, these lesions most commonly present as either polyps or diverticula and the diagnosis is confirmed by an endoscopic biopsy that reveals gastric mucosa.2Fundic mucosa is the most common type isolated.2
The exact origin of the misplaced epithelium is unknown. A prominent theory suggests that this entity is the result of an error in the differentiation of pluripotent endodermal stem cells during development.2Occasionally, a patient has an associated congenital abnormality, such as a rectal duplication.3
Definitive therapy is by surgical excision, although H2blockers have been used to successfully alleviate symptoms, such as bleeding and pain, and this sometimes results in complete healing of the lesion without recurrence.2
The lesion we describe is not consistent with transsphincteric fistula-in-ano because no external opening was found. A fissure-in-ano would be expected to be located in the posterior midline and possibly be associated with a sentinel pile. The lesion's appearance is not typical of a rectal neoplasm, which would be expected to appear as either a sessile plaque or an exophytic polyp.
In conclusion, heterotopic gastric mucosa in the rectum is a rare occurrence. Despite its rarity, it is useful for general practitioners to be aware of this entity because the symptoms can often be relieved by H2blockers, just like the "stomachache" associated with gastritis.

Rest and recovery... R&R. Yeah' we all need it to recuperate; to re-energize; to heal' the mind and the body. Problem is' too many of us see R&R as a luxury. How many of us have skipped vacations and time away from our jobs? How many of us stay at work' running on that neverending treadmill' day after day? Good ol' R&R is perhaps the single most overlooked and least considered element of the mass building equation. But without it' you're cooked. Serious training leaves you depleted. As we've all come to understand' you're only as good as you can recover. Nutrition plays a critical role in accelerating healing' sure. But with the crushing stresses of heavy iron and the toxic environment that surrounds us in this crazy world' eating and supplementing right only goes so far. So what are you missing? Easy…
Sleep. If you can't sleep properly and maximize the recuperation opportunities that come with your down time' you'll never build the physique you desire. Period. You can train like a maniac' but the growth you seek happens outside the gym. Sleep time' put quite simply' equals growth time. With the busiest of schedules strained by work' family' training and commuting—the first thing to get cast to the side is adequate sleep. And without adequate R&R' you won't reach your full potential.
Few of us reside in a perfect world' living a utopian existence simply predicated on optimizing our growth as bodybuilders. Our resources' be they monetary or time-related' are finite. For the busiest among us' we must manage our time to in all things get the best bang for our hard-earned buck. This is the case when it comes to muscle recovery. If all we can manage to allot for is six hours of sleep' bet your ass it needs to be the best six hours humanly possible. If quantity can't always be within grasp' our quest for quality must take on even greater significance.
It was in the pursuit for optimizing rest to promote maximum recovery that the hard training fellas in Animal R&D decided to push the envelope' searching for any void in what is the most hardcore and comprehensive line in the game. What did they come up with? Only the most complete' ideal nighttime recovery supplement' something to lend that elusive edge to the most serious brothers in the game—those that regularly toe that fine line between training intensity and insanity. For them' there is Animal PM.

It looks like buyers are starting to move in fast...we could see a nice reversal develop
Stock is being manipulated probably by Gabelli. If you go back and look at last few weeks of Barron's SEC Insider filings, every week Gabelli is buying and selling the same stock. They push it up and then unload. Current price in $12.60's is a gift IMVHO. Should close below $12 today. If not, still a gift. DaninFW

The Danish are apparently a patient, good-natured people. You can take them through a lengthy, twisty mystery like Forbrydelsen (the TV series from which AMC's The Killing was adapted) and at the very end reveal nothing. In Denmark, they sit back, laugh jovially, and say, "Oh, you got me good that time, Magnus. I didn't see that one not coming."
Here in America, we're more demanding. When the catchphrase and advertising slogan of your series is "Who killed Rosie Larsen?", at the end of 12 moody, rain-drenched hours we firmly expect to know the identity of the culprit.
So when Season One of The Killing built to a suspenseful conclusion, only to reveal at the very last minute that the man in cuffs - Seattle City Councilman Darren Richmond, played by TV's best-kept secret, Billy Campbell - had been framed, there was a lot of viewer outrage out there.

PurpleWildcats.com has learned that Chris Lauten–another inspired choice–will be named DBO. He joins Tavaras Hardy, Brian James (also not yet official) and Patrick Baldwin as the primary four elements of Collins' new-look group.
Lauten currently serves as Coordinator of Basketball Operations for the NBA Development League. Though he seldom received media attention during that period, this Duke Chronicle article provides some insight into his past experiences. He worked as the Duke basketball team manager from 2003-08, when Collins was (of course) an assistant.
It makes sense: Lauten seemed to excel in his role and valued connections. He helped former Duke player Christian Laettner earn a D-league coaching position and worked with others following his team managerial career.
No staff member qualifies as a "splashy" hire. However, there's reason to be excited for the future in Evanston. They bring diverse experience to the table, and after all of the speculation surrounding Jon Scheyer and Greg Paulus, a quieter candidate is the Duke man.

The top-seeded Lady Pacers (28-3) will face No. 8 Catawba (19-10) on Friday at 6 p.m. in the first round of the women's Southeast Regional at the USC Aiken Convocation Center.
The second-seeded Pacer men (21-7) will travel to Montevallo, Ala., for an opening-round game Saturday against No. 7 Wingate (20-11) at 3:30 p.m.
"I don't know one thing about them besides we tried to play them the last four or five years and they wouldn't play us," Pacers coach Vince Alexander said of Wingate. "We're looking forward to finding out a little bit more about them and going up against them."
The film work and scouting reports have already started at USC Aiken in anticipation of the fifth national tournament appearance for both teams. The Lady Pacers, who went undefeated at home in the regular season, will enjoy home-court advantage.
"Just because we're hosting, it doesn't guarantee that we're going to win, but it's going to guarantee that we're going to be on our own court, where our shooting percentage is much higher," Lady Pacers coach Mike Brandt said. "We have great fan support here, and we're looking forward to that. So we're just excited and obviously we've won every game here so far this year. It's a tough place for other teams to play."

Hard to find vertical lined cards
By LisaKearns
from Monroe NC
Comments about Levenger Special Request 3 x 5 Tasker Cards, Notes (set of 100):
I bought these cards to go with the Levenger's International Pocket Briefcase I bought for my husband. I looked high and low and couldn't find vertically lined cards until I found these on this site. The card stock is thicker than a standard index card, and has a smooth surface that's perfect for writing. I thought they seemed a little expensive, but after seeing them in person, I think they are worth it. To compete in the corporate world, you have to have a professional image, and these cards are just the right touch. It was the perfect gift, and he loves the wallet and cards.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Perfect Size
By Stamper
from Pleasant Lake, IN
I got rid of the little notebook I used to carry in my Levenger Bag and know I carry the notecards. They are the perfect size to write notes to people, jot down info when we are out and about doing our daily travels, and then I am not carrying a whole notebook with old data in it that is no longer needed. I wish we could order these with personalization in a smaller quantity.
Perfect product
By SallyM
from Burdett, NY
The design of the case requires a vertical card, and unless one uses blank 3x5 cards, these are a useful solution.

Winter is Coming: Save 15% in the ITS Store Now through Monday
Be prepared to face the chilling winds of winter with gear from the ITS Store! Now through Monday the 26th,... View ArticleView Article
In one of our more recent articles on setting up an urban rappel, we went over two methods for tying off a static rope for single-line rappelling. Today, we'd like to go over the Barrel Knot and how it's tied.
The other knot we mentioned in that urban rappelling article is a Bowline, which we've gone over before on our Knot of the Week series. The Barrel Knot is preferable to the Bowline, for the simple reason of it being a friction knot (or slip knot), meaning that as it's loaded, it will self-tighten around the stationary object it's tied off to. An important note here is that while tying this for rappelling purposes, you should always use a large diameter tree or object that you've deemed sturdy enough to rappel from. Small trees have no place in a proper rappelling setup.
Tying a Bowline for single-line rappelling is acceptable as well, but with a Bowline being a fixed loop, it will move around much more than a Barrel Knot and again is why the latter is preferred.
(Strength: 4/Secure: 5/Stability: 3/Difficulty: 3)
Please refer to our Knot of the Week introduction post for a description of what these ratings mean.
The Barrel Knot is somewhat similar to the Double Fisherman's Bend and shares much in common with a hangman's noose, although that uses a different tying method. The Barrel Knot is also great for tying off a rescue line to a stationary object before throwing it or lowering it down to the someone being rescued.

Wow... lets overcomplicate the most simple and basic method here.
Look... keep it simple. Use a figure-eight retrace or a bowline. Back up your anchor if in doubt and you *should* be good.
Of course completing a comprehensive rigging and rescue course from a reputable instructor (not anyone on the ITS staff obviously) is a no-brainer. Unless you wish to provide me with more job security as a certified rescue technician of course.
@SARTechEMT I'm on a search & rescue team, and am planning on going for my SARtech III certification. However, if getting it means I have to be a pompous douchebag like you, maybe I'll reconsider that decision.
@India_Actual @SARTechEMT Actually, IA, I'd seriously consider NOT going ahead with the SARTECH certification. It'd probably be a waste of your money and time as you most likely wouldn't work in the field long enough to be a viable addition to any team with your obvious immaturity.
@SARTechEMT Great, we're in agreement then. Thanks for your wisdom.
Why not a running bowline? I've done tree work(climbing) all my life. The running bowline is probably my second most-often used knot.
Why not use a Figure 8 on a bite? Same amount of rope used, and less stress on the rope. Also I would never trust just one tree as anchor, unless it was huge and weight alone was enough to use as anchor. I have seen way to many trees pull out of the soil just being used as a hand hold to pull up on.
@robdog1971 A figure 8 on a bight would not be possible to tie around the tree. That is why I suggested the figure 8 retrace. I would trust any tree bigger than about 3 inches in diameter. As long as the knot is tied close to the base there should not be a problem in uprooting the tree.
@Nico321 You are right I mis spoke, Figure 8 retrace is what I meant. In my experience the trees that are in range of a cliff have been to shallow in top soil covering the rock underneath to use just one as a anchor. I guess it comes down to a judgment call at the end of the day.
I tied it using your method, then I tied it as sort of an "on bight" fisherman's knot (quadruple in this case), and it appears exactly the same. Does that sound right to you? So, rather than combining two ropes with the fisherman's, you're just doubling back and tying it to itself. I just want to make sure I'm understanding it.
I get what you're saying about conserving rope by not using the tensionless hitch. I wonder if you could tie a prusik knot (not a pre-formed loop, but a knot using the running end) instead of the barrel knot, then adjust it to establish more reasonable angles.
@India_Actual Below I have put links to both the single and double fishermans knots. An end of the line prusik would be a suitable knot for this purpose I believe. The knot I was referring to is just the double overhand, which is the same as an overhand knot except it is a round turn with the working end passed through, not just a turn.
The single fisherman's knot is actually a bend in which an overhand knot is tied around the opposite strand of the rope. Your safety knot in this case would actually be referred to as a double overhand knot.
Using a "tightening knot" such as this goes against nearly every reputable anchoring system used by any credible agency and organization.
By exceeding the 90 degree angle (which only puts 70% of the load on each side of the anchor) you effectively put 100% (or more) of the loads force on each side of the anchor. This is both unsafe and unethical for any professional climber or technician.
Why not teach the tensionless hitch instead? It's nearly idiot proof, stress proof and retains nearly 100% of the anchor's strength.
@SARTechEMT Thanks for the comment, I think you're confusing the purpose here though. It's not being used as part of an anchor system, it's being used in a single-line rappel. If i'm not understanding you correctly though, please clarify. Thanks!
@SARTechEMT I agree with you. From my training and experience as a climbing instructor, I can say that neither of the knots recommended in this article represents a safe option for rigging a rappel, especially with only one anchor. The bowline, like a square knot, has the potential to self-loosen (like your shoelaces), especially over several tension-relax cycles. As you mentioned, a sliding knot like the barrel will slide down and create a dangerously large angle at the anchor. your best option is to use a figure-8 follow-through (AKA rethreaded). I also don't recommend single anchors whenever possible.
@SARTechEMT The reason you would not use a tensionless hitch in this case would be that you are trying to conserve rope. If the length of the rope was not a problem then the user would just do a double rope rappel. Personally I would use a figure 8 retrace or a bowline as an anchor in this place as to keep the angle of the rope to the tree under 90 degrees.
