Umarex MORPH 3X CO2 BB pistol and rifle: Part 5
by Tom Gaylord, a.k.a. B.B. Pelletier
The Umarex MORPH 3X is many airguns in one!
Today, you'll get a twofer — thanks to blog reader Les, who asked about adjusting dot sights and lasers. I said I would test the Umarex MORPH 3X with a dot sight, so I thought I'd combine that test with instructions on how to adjust the sight to hit the point of impact.
I hadn't considered testing a laser on the Morph, but I can certainly describe how to do it. I'll get to that at the end of the report.
The dot sight
What is a dot sight? Well, once you understand what it is, you'll understand that adjusting one is the same as adjusting a scope. Because that is what a dot sight is — a scope without the magnification (usually) or the crosshairs!
On scopes, the crosshairs or reticle are lines that you see through to see the target. By adjusting where the lines are, you can adjust where your shot strikes the target. I think most folks understand that.
All a dot sight does is substitute a glowing dot of light for the center of the crosshairs. In other words, the intersection of the crosshairs is replaced by a glowing dot of light. Put that over what you want to hit; and if the sight is adjusted properly, it works the same as a scope. No one other than the shooter can see the dot.
The glowing dot is different than the crosshairs because it isn't a solid object. It's a reflection on the surface of a lens that appears in your line of sight. You can see it because the reflection is physically there, but it isn't anything that can be touched, anymore than you can touch an image in a mirror. But you can adjust where the dot is seen by adjusting the lens that reflects it.
Try this
If you have a dot sight, try looking through it and moving your head around from side to side and up and down. You'll note that the dot moves against the target quite a bit. That's because you're moving your eye, and that changes where the reflection of the dot appears to be. You can do the same thing with the reticle of a scope, but not to the same extent. Where a scope reticle will appear to move just a little against a target, a dot appears to move more. That's the difference between looking at something that is physically there and something that's just reflected off a curved piece of glass.
That should warn you that dot sights have a lot of parallax problems and require consistent eye placement for every shot. The same is true with open sights, but open sights give cues when the alignment isn't right. The front sight moves relative to the rear sight. But a dot sight is just a single point of reference, so you can't see the misalignment as easily. Therefore, the placement of your head is extremely important if you expect to hit the target every time.
What I'm saying about dot sights applies to the older tube-type sights, like the one I'm using in this test. I suspect, like all technologies, dot sights have become more precise in recent years. But my experience is with the older style.
Don't get the idea that dot sights are impossible, though, because they're not. Though they are somewhat dicey to use. It's not as bad as ice skating on stilts.
Dot sight adjustment
Now that you understand what a dot sight is, you should know that it adjusts in the same way as a conventional scope. One knob controls the up and down movement, and the other controls the left and right. Sighting-in a dot sight is no different than sighting-in a scope. You select a point of aim, which you hope will also be the point of impact and hold on it as you shoot. If the pellets strike the target low and to the left, the sight has to be adjusted up and to the right.
Like a scope, it helps to begin sight-in of a dot sight at a close target. I like starting at 10 feet away, and I adjust the sight until the pellet is striking the target on the centerline and as far below the point of aim as the center of the sight is above the center of the bore. Then, I know I can back up to 10 meters, and I'll be on paper. I may need to refine my sight adjustment a little when I shoot at 10 meters, but this is the fastest way I know to sight in an airgun — especially one that cannot be boresighted.
But what if you're at a public range and can't shoot at 10 feet? That's when I put up a 2-foot by 4-foot light-colored paper backer and staple my target in the center of that. Even at 50 yards, there's a good chance my shots will land somewhere on that big piece of paper if I shoot at the center of the target. When even that fails, I enlist the help of a spotter to watch the berm. I shoot at a dirt clod we can both identify and he watches through the binoculars that I always carry to see where my bullet strikes relative to the dirt clod.
Tasco Pro Point
I mounted a Tasco Pro Point dot sight to the rail on top of the Morph and was ready to commence sight-in. The Pro Point is a dated design, but it was good quality 15 years ago and still works well today. The amount of parallax is small for a dot sight, but I still watch my head placement every time.
It was very easy to install the Pro Point on the Morph. The Weaver bases on the Pro Point clamp right to the Morph's rail, and clamping pressure plus the keyed cross-slots hold the sight in place.
Tasco Pro Pont dot sight fits the Morph quite well.
Target setup
I think it was Victor who asked me how I stop the BBs from bouncing back, so today I thought I'd show you. I photographed my target setup, so you can see the light and the Winchester Airgun Target Cube with the Shoot-N-C target pasted on its front.
This is my target setup in the bedroom. The target cube is backed by a thick plastic cutting board, so nothing will hit the wall. The light is a 500-watt quartz incandescent camera light.
Absolutely no BBs bounce back using this setup. The target cube is starting to slough off small pieces of styrofoam, now that over a thousand shots have hit it, but nothing gets through it and nothing bounces back.
On to the shooting
At first, I shot the Morph in carbine form offhand at 15 feet (I'm using Umarex Precision steel BBs). I dialed the red dot intensity up to No. 8; because when the Shoot-N-C target turns green, it's so bright that it masks the dot. Even at the 8 setting, I could barely see the dot against the target, once it changed from black to green (or yellow — I can't tell…I'm colorblind.). Of course, when you shoot offhand, the dot seems to move all over the target — even at 15 feet.
Ten shots offhand from 15 feet with the Morph carbine. That's not too bad! Yes, I used flash.
Seeing the accuracy of the carbine made me want to shoot the gun rested. I brought in a kitchen chair, turned it around and used the back as a rest for my next group.
Ten shots rested from 15 feet. Obviously, the gun is shooting to the left — something that shooting offhand did not fully reveal. All the shots in the cardboard are part of this string.
Seeing this result made me want to see just how good the gun could shoot. So I adjusted the dot to the right and shot another 10 rounds.
Wow! The sight adjustment didn't go far enough, but look at how small this group of 10 shots is! The Morph can shoot!
Let's back up
Seeing how good the Morph could do at 15 feet prompted me to back up to 25 feet and try again. This was also a rested group of 10 shots. I adjusted the sight a little more to the right for this one.
I was running out of the smaller bulls, but with a dot sight that poses no problem. Since the BB goes where the dot is, the size of the target has no influence over where you hit, as it would with a peep sight or a post and notch using a 6 o'clock hold.
At 25 feet the group opened up a bit, but it's still respectable. There's a single BB above the bull in the cardboard. This is a larger bull; but with a dot sight, that doesn't pose a problem. The sight is still not far enough to the right, and notice that the impact point has climbed just a little. The orange dot in the center of the bull was the aim point.
A laser
I don't have a laser that will fit on the Picatinny rail of the Morph, so I can't mount one, but let's talk about how a laser differs from a dot sight and a scope. A laser actually shines a light on the target. What you see is reflected from the target — not from a lens inside an optical device. The laser dot can be seen by everyone — not just by the shooter — the way a dot sight can. And because the laser dot actually hits the target, there can never be any parallax. What you see is actually there, on the target.
With a laser, there's nothing to look through. Think of a laser as a very powerful flashlight. It isn't actually a sight. It's more of a designator.
A laser is adjusted just like a scope or dot sight, except you're adjusting where the light actually falls. So, the procedure is to use a separate sight to sight-in the gun, then adjust the laser so it's on the target when the other sight is.
Adjusting a laser is usually different than adjusting a scope or a dot sight. There aren't click adjustments, as a rule, but there are screws that push the laser tube in the direction you want it to go. This may be backwards of how a scope's adjustments move, so read the laser's manual before you start adjusting.
Distance is limited
Lasers can't be seen very far on bright days, so they're limited in distance. You can look at them through a scope which increases the distance at which the dot can be seen, but even then the laser is a limited-range sighting aid. A 50-yard shot is very far for a laser. Most shooters set them up for very close shots, like 20-30 feet. They use their other sights for longer distances.
Les — I hope this helps you with the sight-in procedure for dot sights and lasers. Let me know if you have more questions.
Final evaluation
The Morph 3X rifle and pistol is a unique airgun that's accurate and powerful at the same time. The double-action trigger-pull may take getting used to, but it poses no problem as far as accuracy goes.
I find the Morph accurate, conservative of gas and trouble-free to operate. If you want an accurate BB gun that also has power, check this one out.
Umarex MORPH 3X CO2 BB pistol and rifle: Part 4
by Tom Gaylord, a.k.a. B.B. Pelletier
The Umarex MORPH 3X is many airguns in one!
I didn't realize how many readers were watching the Umarex MORPH 3X pistol and rifle until I read some of the comments. Apparently, many of you must use smoothbore BB guns for various reasons, and a long-barreled gun is something you like. Since this one can change from a pistol to a long gun, it's of particular interest.
As you will remember, the Morph not only has two barrel lengths — it also has two power levels. Each of those conditions had to be tested. I shot at 15 feet, which is one of two established distances for BB guns — the other being 5 meters or just over 16 feet.
The gun has fiberoptic sights, but they do not illuminate well in room lighting. In essence, they were a sharp set of post and notch open sights. That's better for accuracy, because fiberoptics are less precise since they cover a lot of the target.
The gun was loaded with 30 Umarex precision steel BBs and fired in its pistol form first. I started with low power and put 3 shots off the bull before I got the sight picture correct. I had to hold on the center of the bull with the Morph. Then, they went to the center of the bull but made a vertical dispersion. I believe the verticality is mostly my fault, as I'm not yet used to the double-action trigger-pull.
The first 3 shots went below the bull. After that, I found the sight picture and drilled it. Ten shots from 15 feet offhand on low power.
Next, I adjusted the pistol to high power and shot a second target. This time, the shots all went lower, as they often do when they go faster. They also went to the right for reasons I cannot explain. The group is even tighter, so I'm thinking this is where the pistol wants to shoot for me.
On high power, the pistol shot demonstrably tighter and also lower. This turned out to be the best group of the test.
Pistol with long barrel extension
Someone asked if the barrel extension could be added to the pistol without connecting the longer forearm, and it can. They then asked me to show a picture of what that looks like. Here it is.
Yes, the barrel extension, alone, will attach to the pistol.
It was time to test the carbine. This is the forearm and barrel extension plus the detachable butt. I decided to test the gun this way and not just with the barrel extension by itself since the butt would give me greater stability. It also placed the rear sight too close to my eye for good aim, but I'll address that at the end of the report.
On low power, the carbine shot slightly low and to the right of the aim point. I must report that shooting with the double-action trigger, while not as precise as shooting single-action, is not that difficult when the carbine butt is attached.
On low power, the carbine shot slightly low and to the right.
Then, I adjusted the gun to high power and shot another group.
On high power, the carbine gave good results. It also shot to the right and almost to the same place as on low power.
Several owners have said they like their Morphs because they're accurate, and I think this test supports that. The gun seems to be equally accurate as just a pistol or with the barrel extension installed. But high power does seem to improve things in either mode. Four targets aren't enough data to prove anything; but since these are 10-shot groups, they do give a pretty good indication of how the gun is shooting.
The sighting situation was a compromise, as I mentioned earlier, so I do plan on another test of the gun. That one will be with a red dot sight attached. Then, I think we'll see everything this unique BB gun has to offer. So far, though, the Morph 3X is a winner in my book.
Umarex MORPH 3X CO2 BB pistol and rifle: Part 3
by Tom Gaylord, a.k.a. B.B. Pelletier
The Umarex MORPH 3X is many airguns in one!
Please don't be confused. This is Part 3, but today we're going to look at the velocity of the Umarex MORPH 3X pistol and rifle. This gun morphs into three different guns, so the introduction took longer than it normally does.
The Morph 3X is a BB gun powered by a single 12-gram CO2 cartridge. The cartridge fits in the grip, which opens by sliding the backstrap down and off the grip. The piercing screw must be adjusted all the way out to allow the new cartridge to fit in the space, then it's turned in until it pierces the cartridge. I gave it an additional half-turn for security, but no more because that'll make the cartridge tear the thin face seal it bears against. As with all CO2 filling operations, I always put a drop of Crosman Pellgunoil on the tip of each new cartridge to keep the internal seals lubricated and sealing.
Two power levels — two barrel lengths
The Morph has two power levels — high and low. I'll test each of them for you. The Morph also has a barrel extension that increases the overall length of the barrel and boosts the velocity, so I'll test the long-barreled version on both power levels, as well. I'm only going to use one type of BB — the Umarex precision steel BB, which is very uniform and accurate.
Pistol — low power
I started with the pistol set to low power, which is with the adjustment screw all the way in (to the right). The average was 308 f.p.s., with a range that went from 301 to 321 f.p.s. At the average velocity, the 5.1-grain BB produced 1.07 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle. The pistol was also very quiet at this setting.
Pistol — high power
Next, I adjusted the screw all the way out (to the left). The owner's manual says this takes 1.5 turns of the screw, but on the test pistol it was closer to two full turns. I shot once to settle the gun at the new power level, then I shot another string of 10 to get the average velocity. On this setting, the power averaged 478 f.p.s., with a range that went from 417 to 502 f.p.s. That's a big spread, but perhaps the gun is set up better for the low-power setting. The average muzzle energy was 2.59 foot-pounds. The noise and muzzle blast were significantly increased on this setting.
Buntline pistol — low power
Adding the barrel extension did not increase the velocity over the pistol — it decreased it! I guess the gas pressure drops too low before the BB leaves the longer barrel and the extra friction slows it down. The average velocity was 244 f.p.s., and the range went from a low of 208 to a high of 277 f.p.s. — a much higher spread than with the pistol barrel, alone. The gun was very quiet at this power setting, but it should be. The BB had nearly a third less velocity when it left the muzzle. The average muzzle energy was 0.67 foot-pounds.
Buntline pistol — high power
High power was meant for the Buntline configuration! The average velocity was 621 f.p.s., and the range went from 612 to 636 f.p.s. So, the spread on high power is much tighter with the barrel extension in place. The average muzzle energy was 4.37 foot-pounds. While the gun is louder on high power than on low power, the Buntline barrel extension does quiet the gun a little more than the pistol.
Several reviews said the trigger on the Morph 3X is hard to pull; but for what it is, it really isn't. It's a light double-action pull of about 7 lbs., 4 oz., which is very light for a double-action pull. It stacks near the end of the pull, which should make it possible to control the gun better.
Shot count
If you think about it, you'll realize that I can't give you a 100 percent accurate shot count with this gun because it depends on how you have it set up. What I can do is tell you what I did, which was to fire 22 shots on low power and 58 shots on high power before I was certain the power was falling. I probably could have fired another 10 shots on high power before the BBs started to stick in the bore.
I have no idea of how many shots you'll get on low power, alone, but I'll guess that it's well over 100. The gun really seems to conserve gas on low power; and since that's enough for indoor target shooting, this is a very economical gas pistol. Of course, with the double-action-only trigger, you'll have to work harder for your good scores than you would with a good single-action trigger. If you shoot mostly double-action pistols or revolvers, this will be a better trainer.
One thing I noticed while watching the BB magazine during shooting is that the last few BBs aren't visible in the window, but there's still a way to know if there are BBs in the gun. The follower won't go all the way to the right end of the window/slot until the last BB has been fired. If you see the follower handle standing away from the right end of the slot, you know the gun is loaded.
When the magazine is loaded, you can see BBs through the slot.
When the magazine follower handle is not all the way to the right of the slot, as in this photo, BBs are still loaded in the magazine.
Accuracy testing comes next. From what I read, the Morph should be pleasingly accurate.
Umarex MORPH 3X CO2 BB pistol and rifle: Part 2
by Tom Gaylord, a.k.a. B.B. Pelletier
The Umarex MORPH 3X is many airguns in one!
Today, I'll finish the introduction to the Umarex MORPH 3X pistol and rifle. We started looking at this strange BB gun two days ago, and there simply was not time enough to adequately cover all of its aspects, so this is a continuation of that first look at the gun.
The barrel "extension"?
The thing that confused me about the MORPH, and I think it confuses a lot of people, is the extra barrel that's used when the gun is configured in its Buntline pistol and carbine modes. Is this a replacement barrel that you exchange with the pistol barrel or is this a barrel extension that somehow adds length to the pistol barrel? Nowhere in the description of the gun nor in the owner's manual will you find the answer. So, I'll tell you today.
The extra barrel is actually an extension to the pistol barrel. The pistol barrel stays in place, and this long extension screws into the pistol's muzzle to join with the pistol barrel almost seamlessly. Since we're talking about a smoothbore barrel, there is no rifling to be concerned with. The extension barrel must line up with the stationary barrel so the BB is not interrupted as it travels forward; and as long as that happens, the extra length of the extension should offer increased velocity. Of course, there will be some loss of gas pressure at the joint where the two barrels meet; but the designers put an o-ring at the end of the threads on the extension, so they must feel it is required. I'll test the gun with both barrel lengths and on both power levels (remember, we learned yesterday this gun has two power levels), so we're going to find out.
The barrel extension is shown above the pistol. It screws into the pistol without removing the pistol barrel.
The extension simply screws into the muzzle of the pistol. Once it's tight, you're done — though you're supposed to put a sleeve around the barrel extension to complete the look of the gun. Do that and you've built the Buntline pistol. The gun now has the longest barrel it can have, so the velocity does not increase when the buttstock is added to turn the gun into a carbine.
The presence of the o-ring tells us that the designers expect to seal the barrels to a certain extent.
So, it's the pistol, alone, or the pistol with the barrel extension. Those are the two barrel-length options of the MORPH 3X. But there are two different configurations that both use the barrel extension. The first is the Buntline pistol. To make it, first remove the pistol's front sight by sliding it forward. The sleeve you attach next has a front sight of its own.
Attaching the sleeve takes a bit of fiddling on the first try until you realize how the plastic sides of the sleeve must give a little to allow the two parts to fit together. No excessive force is required, but you do have to pay attention that the pistol enters the sleeve low enough for the keyway on the sleeve to align with the sight rail on the bottom of the pistol frame. Once you see how it goes together, all subsequent assemblies will go faster.
Once the sleeve is in place, the barrel extension is screwed in place, and the conversion is done. It takes less than a minute to do everything once you're familiar with how it goes together. The Buntline pistol weighs very little, being made of plastic and mostly hollow. You can easily hold the pistol in one hand to fire.
The Buntline version of the MORPH is just a pistol with a long barrel.
I want you to know that I'm calling this long-barreled configuration of the MORPH 3X a Buntline pistol only because I can think of no other name for it. Umarex does not refer to it by that title. But long-barreled handguns are more popular today than they've ever been. I've been reading what customers say about this gun, and a couple things jump out — with accuracy being one of them. While a longer barrel does nothing to increase accuracy, it does cause the front and rear sights to have a greater separation, and that does have a positive effect. So, I guess I need to test the MORPH 3X in both the pistol and long-barreled modes to determine how much accuracy is affected.
Creating the carbine from the Buntline is even easier than creating the Buntline. All you do is pull the backstrap off the pistol grip and replace it with the carbine backstrap. I'll mention again that removing the backstrap is difficult, but since you have to do it to swap CO2 cartridges anyway, you'd better get used to it.
In the carbine configuration, the MORPH 3X is light and handy. But the rear sight fails by being too close to the eye.
As light as the MORPH is, the carbine butt is strong enough to do the job. Let's be honest, there's no bayonet attachment point on the gun and you're extremely unlikely to give anyone a vertical butt stroke with it. Or if you do, you'd better be a great runner or have a firearm in your pocket!
The butt turns the MORPH into a fine little carbine…but for one item. The rear dot sights are now too close to your eye for aiming, and you must use an optional optical sight or just guess where your shots are going. I think owners are going to attach dot sights and that's what I plan to do with the test gun.
Velocity testing will be next; and as you can tell, it'll be somewhat involved.
Umarex MORPH 3X CO2 BB pistol and rifle: Part 1
by Tom Gaylord, a.k.a. B.B. Pelletier
Happy New Year!
I have a couple updates to pass along. The blog readers can't see what's going on behind the scenes, and these updates will inform you of the progress I'm making in certain tests.
Update 1. Cometa Fusion Premier Star
I know there are several readers waiting for the final accuracy report of the Cometa Fusion Premier Star .22-caliber breakbarrel rifle. The problem I'm having is one of sights. The test rifle has a lot of droop, and I need a suitable scope that has a droop-compensating mount; but the scope stop holes on this rifle are too small to accept the arresting pins of all scope mounts with vertical scope stop pins. Three times I've attempted to test the rifle for you and the scope has moved.
The last time was yesterday with a BKL scope mount whose base jaws proved too large to grab the Cometa scope grooves tightly enough to stop it. Normally, a BKL mount will grab and hold but not when the jaws are so large and the grooves so close together. And remember — I need a droop-compensating mount. I have plenty of drooper mounts that fit the gun, but the vertical pins are too large to fit the rifle's tiny arresting holes.
I also tried grinding down a scope stop pin, but it didn't hold the mount. When I tightened the scope mount down, the high arch of the spring tube must have pressed the mount upward and pulled the pin out of the hole.
There is a solution. If I can wedge a vertical pin in one of the holes and butt the back of a mount up to it (with the pin being outside the mount to the rear) and then tighten it down, it might work. I tried that yesterday, however, and the pin I used did not sit deep enough into the vertical hole to stay in place. It was gone on the third shot.
Update 2. Benjanin Titan GP with Nitro Piston accuracy test
There are two problems with the Benjamin Titan GP air rifle with Nitro Piston test. First, the Centerpoint scope that's furnished with the rifle is unsuited for shooting at 25 yards. The image is too vague and blurry for me to expect good results.
Second, this rifle is also a drooper. So, I need to use a drooper mount. As it is, the rifle hits 12 inches below the aim point at 25 yards, and I can't compensate for that.
I'll find a suitable scope and drooper mount and get on with this test as soon as possible. I can tell you that the trigger, while it is heavy and has a long pull, doesn't seem to be a problem when shooting from a rest.
Umarex MORPH 3X CO2 BB Pistol and Rifle
The Umarex MORPH 3X is many airguns in one!
Today, we'll begin looking at the Umarex MORPH 3X pistol and rifle.
Huh? It's BOTH a pistol and a rifle?
It's really three things — a pistol, and something with no name that could be called a Buntline pistol and also a carbine — all in one. All the parts come in the box, so you can make the gun whatever you want it to be. It shoots steel BBs only, and the power source is CO2.
There's a lot going on with this gun, and I think to avoid confusion it would be best if I review the gun from a standpoint of the three configurations. Because there's so much to look at, I'm breaking this introductory look into two parts. Actually with all this gun offers, I think there are going to be several more parts to the report than the usual three.
The pistol
The base gun is the pistol that operates self-sufficiently. It contains all the operational parts needed, which include the BB magazine as well as the firing mechanism, the trigger, the safety and the power-adjustment screw.
The pistol is the heart of the whole system.
Yes, the power is adjustable, via a screw in the rear of the pistol frame. A rubber plug is picked out of its hole at the top rear of the gun frame, and the slotted screw is located about a quarter-inch deep inside the hole. According to the owner's manual, this screw increases the gun's power by being turned outward (counterclockwise) 1.5 turns or inward (clockwise) to lower the power. There are two discrete power settings — high and low. The screw is not an infinite adjustment but simply a switch to go from high to low and back, again. When I test velocity, I'll do so on both power settings.
A rubber plug in the back of the pistol pops out, giving access to the power adjustment screw.
The sights on the pistol are fiberoptics, front and rear. They lie extremely low to the top of the gun and do not offer the possibility of a post and notch type of sight picture. It's either use the three colored dots or not! To see both sights, a groove has been made through the scope rail on top of the frame.
The front fiberoptic sight lies low against the top of the gun and needs a groove so the rear sight can acquire the front.
Of course the entire top of the pistol is a scope rail or base that will accept Weaver sights, which is how I suspect many owners will set up their guns. Therefore I will also shoot the gun with a dot sight — just to fit in.
The trigger is a double-action pull with some slop at the start. It's definitely cocking the striker as the trigger is pulled to the rear. The pull is reasonably light and stacks (increases in pressure) just before it releases. Once you get used to it, you should be able to control it very well.
The safety is a sliding button on the right side of the frame. To operate it, you push in and slide it forward for safe and rearward to fire. It works easily and is just a smidgeon too far forward for me to operate with my trigger finger.
Press in on the safety switch and slide in the direction desired.
Loading a CO2 cartridge
Th MORPH 3X offers yet another new way of accessing the CO2 cartridge chamber. You press in on a button located at the bottom of the grip and simultaneously slide down the backstrap. The effort required is major, and it'll take some getting used to. Don't expect children to be able to do it.
The CO2 compartment isn't easy to access. A button is pressed while sliding the backstrap down and off the grip.
Loading BBs
BBs are contained in an onboard spring-loaded BB magazine on the left side of the gun. Loading is easy, through an enlarged hole, and the follower stays locked and out of the way until you're ready for it.
The BB magazine is on the left side of the pistol. It's easy to load and holds up to 30 BBs.
A lot more to come
This isn't the end of the description, but it is the end of this report. There are still two more shooting configurations to address, plus the fact that the barrel extension is unusual, to say the least. After that, I can get on with the testing.

Each Wednesday throughout the season we'll identify one player or area of the team that is most under the microscope. This week, S Brandon Meriweather is the choice.
After a shaky start to the season, Meriweather's play has picked up of late and he is starting to show more consistency in the Patriots' secondary. He intercepted Peyton Manning last Sunday, leading to a Patriots score.
The Lions' best chance to win (and for that matter, every Patriots opponent) is to throw the ball against the league's 31st-ranked passing defense. With a great deep threat in Calvin Johnson, it will be on Meriweather to help out over the top.
CBs Devin McCourty and Kyle Arrington will get their chances to cover Johnson, but considering how the Patriots covered Randy Moss, expect Meriweather to play a deep center-field type of role, helping on any deep ball that could be thrown to Johnson.
On just a few days rest, this could be a trap game for the 8-2 Patriots who have hit their stride since the Cleveland debacle. Their defense has not been good, but opportunistic, and Meriweather has been a part of both the good and bad. He needs to have a solid game on Thursday and help contain Johnson. The Patriots have done a good job avoiding giving up big plays and Detroit will want some quick strikes to gain momentum and a lead at home. It will be on Meriweather to help contain the Lions' passing attack.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - When crews dug up Park Boulevard north of University Avenue for a new bus lane project, they uncovered a piece of San Diego history.
Nobody in San Diego knows more about our 98-year-old street rail system than Christian Chaffee. For the past 17 years, he and a cadre of supporters have been relentlessly trying to get the Class I cars back on track.
"I see a streetcar as not only a real benefit to the future of the city, but I see it as something every citizen can use," Christian said.
In a boatyard on Mission Gorge Road, Christian is restoring three of the original 24 streetcars built for the 1915 Panama Exposition.
"Everything about them was designed to work in San Diego -- double-sided, double-ended, the turn radius of our streets, the incline of our hills," he said.
From 1939 to 1996, the cars sat on an East County lot.
"They were on Peach Avenue in El Cajon and they were lived in by this little old lady, her name was Mrs. Lamb," Christian said.
He bought them in 1996, founded San Diego Historic Streetcars, Inc. and began restoring them to their former glory.
"Built in the arts and crafts style, gold leaf and silver leaf and bronze hardware," Christian said.
Christian is saddened to see the torn-up tracks along Park Boulevard, some of which he believes could still be used in the new streetcar system. But he hasn't lost hope.
"I am not only hopeful. I am confident 100 percent that this will happen. I'll tell you why -- I'm not giving up until it does," he said.
Whether you believe the streetcar man to be a pipe dreamer or a visionary, just remember, it takes people thinking outside the box to make sure our future isn't boxed in.

Dolphins extend season with overtime win
Related Links
Sophomore forward Kaitlyn Bassett's second goal on the night ended ETSU's season and advanced JU into the second round of the Atlantic Sun Tournament. The Dolphins defeated the Bucs 2-1 in overtime Saturday night in Johnson City, Tenn.
The Dolphins got on the board first as they were able to break through in the 35th minute. Bassett was able to score her first goal on the night with an assist from senior midfielder Emily Culbreth.
The JU lead would be short-lived as the Bucs were able to knot the game just two minutes later.
The Atlantic Sun and NCAA leading scorer Ramey Kerns converted on a penalty kick to tie the game at 1-1.
Neither team would go on to score in the second half after each team was able to push across a goal in the first period.
After the scoreless second half, the Dolphins and Bassett would strike seven minutes into the first overtime period.
Bassett corralled a ball in the left side of the box and fired a shot over the ETSU keeper to the far post and into the back of the net for the game winner. The goal marked her sixth of the season.
"Great job tonight by the girls," said head coach Brian Copham. "ETSU is a good team and Adam Sayers does a great job. I am proud of how the girls responded to tonight's challenge. This is not an easy place to play and with the cold and rain it made it even more difficult tonight. Tournament games are always a grind and this was no excepetion. We are very excited to be continuing on with the season and playing next weekend."
The Dolphins will now travel to Fort Myers to take on the #1 seed FGCU Eagles on Friday, November 2 at 7:00 p.m. The two teams tied 1-1 when they faced off in Jacksonville back on October 7.

Review from 3/2010 notes. Poured into a Gulden Draak tulip. Pours a nice dark red color. Short lived dense head and light lacing. Citrus, light fruit and somewhat funky aroma. Rich fruits, spices, coriander flavor up front. Hoppy middle with interesting dark and light fruit, however the finish is overly bitter and medicinal. I like the start, but the finish is too raw and astringent for my taste. Medium bodied. A nicely made beer, but a miss for me.

Reddish copper. Creamy beige head. Organic sticky laces.
Funky apple, pear, and dark fruit. Bready yeast. Some citrus and herbal notes. Clove, spices.
Herbal. Sour citrus, funky apple and pear. Sweet bread. Slight roasted smokey flavor. Big bitter tart fruity aftertaste.
Sticky, Dry. Med body. Moderate carbonation.
Good drinkability. Very different than I expected from a "simple ale," but very good.

pours a dark caramel with a medium size light beige head, and great lacing.
smell is floral, some skunk, and caramel.
taste is of apricot, caramel, malt, and some citrus, ends oily and a little bitter.
overall it looks better than it's aroma and taste.

Thanks to bman1113vr for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a tannish-orange color with a white head. The aroma is where the beer starts to get funky. The aroma smells exactly like sharpie markers. The flavor is just as strange, with an odd mix of plastic, chlorine and sharpies. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Not sure what was wrong with this beer, but it was awful.

3.95/5 rDev +11%
The label states that the only ingredients are: water, malted barley, hops, and yeast. Because of this I wasn't really expecting to much when I popped the top off of the bottled and started to pour. I was wrong.
It pours a rich amber color and leaves a good level head in the glass. There's a strong floral aroma to the beer that caught me off guard. It has a strong sharp taste that fills your mouth and the aroma really hits you in the mouth when you take a drink. The flavor is rich and over the top, big malty flavor and very hoppy.
This may be called a Simple Ale but that's only the ingredient list, this was a fantastic beer and I can't wait to sample more of Epic Ales beers. If they're anything close to this it's going to be great.

3.1/5 rDev -12.9%
Poured from 22oz bomber into a pint glass.
Appearance: nice amber hue with a finger of frothy ivory head. Clarity is very good. A solid-looking amber.
Smell: the first thing that hits me is a very earthy aroma which reminds me a lot of Epic's Terra Saurus. There's also a bit of an acetone-y smell here; the overall effect isn't horrible, but it's not particularly beer-y.
Taste: malt flavor is super biscuity and that strong earthiness remains. Bitterness is nice with some citrusy and floral hops but I'm not a huge fan of the malt bill. This seems like a fairly solid beer but, alas, it's not really for me.
Mouthfeel: medium-light body with a nice level of carbonation. Not bad.
Drinkability: this is almost like an Imperial Fat Tire in the strength of the biscuity malt. Like I said, it's not bad, but it's not really for me.

Some of Epic's earlier beers had seen their labels rejected by federal regulators due to their use of dangerously complex adjectives like "swarthy" or "invigorating" which are apparently too misleading and abstract for the sensibilities of excitable bureaucrats. The use of unconventional adjuncts like chamomile or shiitake mushrooms further complicated their approval.
Simple Ale turns its back on such restrictive nonsense and takes it name from the comparative simplicity of its ingredients and streamlined label. But its flavor profile is anything but simplistic. As with most Epic Ales, Simple Ale is fermented with a sake yeast, in this case at high temperatures and an attenuation of 85%. The result is a light body with fruity esters suggestive of a Belgian ale yeast or an addition of coriander. The beer is also dry hopped with Willamette hops.
Simple Ale is ultimately just an amber ale, but it's far more complex than its name suggests. It has a light peppery seasoning, a dry, airy nose, and a stormy unfiltered body. Hops are abundant and the beer is very drinkable. I might even say it's "invigorating" if I'm allowed to.

A wild white water expedition down the Futaleufu River in Chilean Patagonia.
About the AuthorMarilyn Finnemore
Haymaker Alexandria, VA
I love "place," and it saddens me that we're quickly turning America into "no-place" with our McMansions, mini-malls, and megaplexes. My books explore the beauty, texture and intricacy of "place," whether I'm traveling to a foreign country or simply enjoying my own beautiful neighborhood in Western Loudoun, Virginia. I believe that humans are being crushed by Sprawl and its accompanying blanket of sameness; we require real places to feed our souls and make us more of who we are and were meant to be. Much more to come . . .

PEORIA, Ill. -- Is Happiness Contagious? That is the topic of tonight's Dr. Joy.
There's a growing evidence that if you are happy, those around might find themselves happier as well. Tonight, we will look at some of the current research related to the chain reaction effects of happiness.
Many people know that if all of your friends are depressed, there is a high likelihood that you will feel down and blue. A Harvard Medical School study indicated that sadness spreads in social networks, but not as quickly as happiness.
Add a happy friend to your life and it enhances your chance of being happy by 9 percent. Socialize with an unhappy friend and your happiness level goes down by 7 percent.
You can control your happiness quotient by bringing happy people into your life and controlling the number of sad people that surround you.
There is a chain reaction that increases happiness, and our mood can have a dramatic positive effect on those we know and love.
We now know that our social contacts effect more than we may have once believed in a wide variety of factors
Statistics indicate that if our partner, friends, or our spouse is overweight, we tend to increase our weight to match theirs. In fact, we have a 57 percent higher chance of being obese if our significant other is obese.
If someone you love quits smoking, studies prove that you might have a 37 percent higher chance of "quitting the habit" as well.
Multiple studies indicate that the quality and quantity of our friendships and relationships effect our health and our ability to fight disease, and even survive cancer
What can we do to enhance our happiness ratio? Studies show you are 15 percent happier if your significant other or best friend is happy, so that means it's important to surround yourself with happy people.
* Look for things around you that make you happy. If you can see things that make you happy, or reasons to be grateful, you will be less likely to dwell on unhappiness or negativism
* Create a "pact" with your friends and family to focus on positives versus negatives, and make time to share your positives with each other on a daily basis.
* Be an "upper at work." Research shows that a joyful coworker lifts the spirits of all the friends they have in the workplace. If you are happy, then others will be as well, and that will come back to you when you are having a difficult day. It's the pay-it-forward concept in action.
Remember that happiness is contagious so go out and spread the JOY!

EverythingDo you know when you watch CSI and they have to go to the crime scene at the seedy motel off the strip and its always disgusting and seedy and gross? The hotel where the serial killer dismembers someone in the bathroom and theres a crack head in the next room who is obsessively picking an open sore who didnt see or hear anything. When the crime scene techs show up, they flash the ultra-violet light on the sheets and theres evidence of bodily fluids and they always say, I doubt we are going to be able to get any prints as this room hasnt been cleaned well in a very long time. That hotel would be a vast improvement compared to The Days Inn located in Dover, DE.

I liked the room, it was very nice. Also, it was convenient that there were a couple of stoes within a one block radius.
I didn't like that there were flies around the breakfast station in the lobby. They were getting on the food and the people which is a huge inconvenience and just plain disgusting. I don't know who would want to eat where there's a lot of flies.

The rooms were very nice, and a great location (between a 7-11 and a liquor store)

NO remote control for the TV, and the person at the desk didn't know if the unit used one. The room was totally dirty. The tub had a ring around it. I had to buy tilex and do the bathroom over myself. Dirt and dust was everywhere including the fridge.The room needs a paint job, and new furniture. The duvet cover was from Sheraton, and had no duvet in it. I had no choice with this place, but I will avoid it the next time for sure.

I stayed here on business twice before this trip. It was not the Plaza, but it was close to my work. The people were very friendly.
I am not very picky but I do expect a clean room. The bed of my first room looked like it had not been changed since the last guest. The comforter was stained and I found a bug in my bed. They did change my room - but bugs - yuck.
Mediocre 4.0
The staff was nice and the location was good. The price was great.
The room was not very clean. The night table was turned toward the bed, thus unexcessible and could not be turned for use. When I finally moved it, the entire front of the night table and wall was filthy. The wall behind the other night table, was filthy.The price was fair, the staff was kind, unfortunately the placement of furniture was not practical. One night table was unusable and dirty. Walls on either side of the bed were filthy and there were spider webs above the drapes. But the bed was clean as well as the other furniture. The bathroom was also clean.

Find out about direct early voting, in-person absentee voting and traditional absentee voting before Election Day. Make your vote count and vote early.
Get the vote out now!
You already know you're busy—and you're just as likely to be busy Election Day. But don't miss the opportunity to make your voice heard just because you have to keep your business running on Election Day!
In most states, the small-business community can take advantage of early voting to ensure that its voice is heard. Never should the commitment of running a business come at the expense of exercising one's right to vote.
What is early voting?
Early voting lets you cast your ballot before Election Day. In one form or another, early voting has now been established in almost every state. There are three primary ways registered voters may cast their ballots early:
- Direct early voting
- Traditional absentee ballot
- In-person absentee ballot
Direct Early Voting
Voters go to the local elections office or designated polls during a specific period of time prior to Election Day to cast ballots in person. Voters will often use a standard voting machine or complete a regular ballot. In most cases, votes will not be tabulated until Election Day.
Traditional Absentee Ballot
Voters typically apply for an absentee ballot from their local elections office by mail. Most states require that voters state a reason for voting absentee. After the elections office receives the application, it sends a ballot to the voter, who returns the completed ballot to the elections office within a designated period of time.

In-person Absentee Ballot
Voters visit the local elections office to request an absentee ballot application. At the elections office, voters complete the application and fill out their ballot in person. In most states that offer in-person absentee, there is no required reason to vote early.

Holyhead stands on the far side of Anglesey, which is technically an island separated from Wales by the narrow Menai Straits. The distant mountains provide an ever-present backdrop, enticing the visitor to investigate their beauty. The rural charm of North Wales is juxtaposed with some unexpected features, for, perhaps to the casual visitor's surprise, this is an area that has participated in some of the great moments of our history.
As shore excursions to be offered in this port are not yet confirmed, below is a list of those offered previously. We make every effort to have excursions finalized at least 240 days in advance of sailing, and often sooner, so please check back regularly.
Enjoy the scenery of coastal Wales on this mostly panoramic half-day tour that takes you around the Isle of Anglesey (Ynys Môn in Welsh), which has a rich history passed on from its Viking, Celtic and Medieval settlers.
Boarding your coach, you'll first head for the very western point of the Isle where you will see the tiny islet known as South Stack. Separated from Holyhead Island by 30 meters of turbulent sea, it features a glorious lighthouse designed to allow safe passage for ships on the treacherous Dublin - Holyhead - Liverpool sea route. The cliffs at South Stack are home to over 4,000 seabirds that nest here during the summer and from your lookout point, you'll have the opportunity to perhaps spot puffins, fulmars, guillemots and razorbills.
From here, your drive continues south along the coast road, passing through Aberffraw which between the 7th and 13th centuries was the capital of North Wales and home to the Princes of Gwynedd. Next, it's on through the village of Newborough (time permitting stops for photographs will be made). Before long, you'll arrive in the town with the longest name in the world: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwll-llantysiliogogogoch. This long name actually means, 'The Church of St. Mary in the hollow of the white hazel near the rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio near a red cave'. The name is usually shortened to Llanfairpwll, or Llanfair PG by the locals. The extended name is almost probably the work of a local tailor who wanted to put the village on the map in the mid 1800's. One of Llanfairpwll's unusual claims to fame is that the Women's Institute movement was founded here in 1915. The now disused railway station still bears the longest name in the world and has been converted to a tourist attraction housing a good quality Woolen shop and souvenir center. Some free time will be afforded here to stroll around before continuing on your way.
From Llanfairpwll, you'll drive along the Menai Strait and through the picturesque town of Beaumaris where you will have an outside view of Beaumaris Castle. This stunningly beautiful World Heritage Site castle was the last and largest of the castles to be built by King Edward I in Wales. Continuing along the coastal road, you'll pass through the most northerly village in Wales, Cemaes, which is set on Anglesey's wildest and most unspoiled stretch of coastline, before heading back in a southerly direction to Holyhead.
Please note: Walking on this tour is at the guest's discretion. There is a steep incline to negotiate from the coach to the viewing area at South Stack. The tour is available to wheelchair guests who have a collapsible wheelchair, are able to make their own way on and off the coach and have an able-bodied companion to assist them. Those guests with mobility concerns are cautioned only to participate to the extent of their personal stamina and ability. Layered, weather appropriate clothing and flat, comfortable walking shoes are suggested. Guests should be prepared for the possibility of rain. The order of the sites viewed or visited may vary.

KHQ.COM - Two letters, containing
the toxin ricin, were seized from the
downtown Spokane Post Office this week during a routine screening.
They were postmarked May
14th. One was addressed to a Federal judge in Spokane, the other to
the Postal Union.
The FBI is in charge of
the investigation and they are still trying to determine who sent the letters.
In a press release, The
Associated Postal Workers Union confirmed the poison found was ricin, which can
be deadly.
It's derived from castor
beans and pretty easy to get your hands on.
This particular type of
ricin was in a form that couldn't be inhaled or ingested easily.
The postal service says none of their employees were ever in danger of
exposure and the letters have been sent to a lab for further testing.

Cameras in the city
Dear Editor,
I am writing regarding the story in your paper about the police chiefs plan for cameras throughout the city. This is reminiscent of the Stasi in the former East German Democratic Republic in which cameras were omnipresent to spy upon the citizenry.
This is contrary to the freedoms we enjoy under our Constitution. I urge our city fathers to deny funding requests on the part of our police chief. Also, the use of volunteer non-police persons evaluating the tapes generated is most likely illegal.
Ralph P Edwards
Front Street lights
I read with interest the article on replacing the street lights on Front Street because they are not efficient and pleasing to the eye.
If anything is replaced, Im hoping it will just be the bulbs or globes since the fixtures were chosen to resemble what was on Front Street in the early 1900s along with the planting of oak trees that once lined this street.
I can certainly understand the city wanting to be more cost efficient with expenses and concur but surely hope they give more consideration to replacing the entire fixtures.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Emergency care in the nation is near failing.
A recent report card from the American College of Emergency Physicians gives the United States a D+.
The report card measures conditions and policies under which emergency care is delivered, not the quality of care provided.
The report card has 136 measures in five categories: access to emergency care, quality and patient safety, medical liability environment, public health and injury prevention and disaster preparedness.
Twenty-one states received F's in access to emergency care.
Thirteen states received F's in disaster preparedness.
Illinois' emergency care received a D on the American College of Emergency Physicians report card.
That's down from a C in 2009 and drops the state to 45th in the nation.
Dr. John Hafner at OSF St. Francis Medical Center said a lack of primary care doctors in Illinois hurts that grade.
The need for those doctors will increase even more with the Affordable Care Act.
ER's often are used as a safety net for patients without insurance or those without access to primary care.
Dr. Hafner said when emergency rooms see an increase in patients -- it can be difficult for them to have easy access to care.
"There are certainly things that the state and the national and medical environments could do improve access to care and improve public health scenarios so that people don't have to come to the emergency room department," said Dr. John Hafner. "Health policy at the higher level would really help at the lower lever like the emergency department."
Those public health improvements include an increase in immunization rates in children and adults and increasing overall preventative rates.
Along with the fact that Illinois continues to lose doctors and nurses to other states because of medical liability issues.
And while Illinois received an F in disaster preparedness, down from an A-, Dr. Hafner believes Central Illinois proved itself when it sprung into action after the November tornadoes.
A big reason for the grade, failure to pass proposed state legislation enhancing immunity for health care responders during a disaster.

NBCNEWS.COM - It isn't very often a ceramic coffee mug is recalled, but "Homer's All-Purpose Bucket" mug sold at The Home Depot since October could pose a fire hazard.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warns that the mug may not be "microwave safe" as claimed. The CPSC says the silver-colored simulated bucket handle can spark if the mug is put in a microwave oven.
About 3,700 of the orange mugs were sold at The Home Depot for about $5. They were made in China by a company called Mr. Christmas, Ltd. If you have the mug you're advised to stop using it and return it to the store for a full refund.
No injuries have been reported, but the CPSC would like to hear from anyone who was injured or had a potentially dangerous incident with one of these bucket mugs. You can report this or any other potential safety hazard on SaferProducts.gov.

A new television ad from President Obama's campaign accuses Governor Mitt Romney of shipping jobs overseas.It supposedly happened while Romney was with Bain Capital more than 13 years ago.Is it true, or just political fodder for the campaign? NBC2 Investigator Andy Pierrotti truth-tested the claim."Mitt Romney's companies were pioneers in outsourcing U.S. jobs to low-wage countries," the voice-over announces in the campaign advertisement. The ad cites a Washington Post story on Bain Capital, the company was once owned by Romney."The evidence is that he ran Bain Capital for many years and that it's well known and widely reported," argues Stephanie Cutter, Obama's deputy campaign, when asked to provide evidence.According to a federal disclosure report, Mr. Romney retired from Bain capital on February 11, 1999 to head the Salt Lake City Olympic organizing committee.It goes on to say Romney "has not had any active role with any Bain Capital entity" since leaving. It's a felony to lie on financial disclosure reports. A 2002 Massachusetts Ethics Commission report also confirms his retirement. "That particular ad has been fact-checked many times by independent fact checkers. It's been called debunked, unfair, taken out of proportion, untrue, false," said Kirsten Kukowski, RNC Press Secretary.While Bain did outsource jobs, we find it wasn't Mitt Romney's company at the time it did so. We rank this claim false.

Police are trying to figure out who shot a man outside a Roswell Road nightclub early Monday morning.
It happened at a little after 2 a.m. in the parking lot of Tailfeathers, which operates as a piano bar during the day, according to people who work there. It's located in the Hammond Springs shopping center.
Police identified the victim as 22-year-old Rodriguez Price.
According to witnesses, Price and the suspect got into a fight inside the club. Later, outside the club, the two fought again but were split up. Price was walking to his car when the suspect fired several times, hitting Price three times with .40 caliber rounds.
The shooter fled the scene in a black sedan headed south on Roswell Road, police said.
Paramedics took Price to North Fulton Hospital in stable condition.

|Let's avoid another war
Letter to the Editor:
Where were you?
A week ago last Wednesday, we met at the Vilas County Courthouse veterans memorial for a silent candlelit vigil to remember the atrocities that have occurred for the last two years in Syria. As a group of peace activists, we hoped that there would be no more military action in Syria.It was a solemn hour and then we talked about our impressions of our time at the veterans memorial. So many men died in all our wars or so-called wars based on false information.
Now we have some encouraging news from many countries. Yes, let's get together and avoid another war or another "military strike."
Have we not been through this before? Are we not going to learn from our past mistakes? Again we cannot force our democratic values into a country in the midst of a civil war. It is a hubris attitude to think we can actually influence a culture we cannot even imagine.

16 U.S. Code § 283a - Acquisition of lands
(a) Authority of Secretary; manner and place; concurrence of State owner
Within the boundaries of the Guadalupe Mountains National Park, the Secretary of the Interior may acquire land or interests therein by donation, purchase with donated or appropriated funds, exchange, or in such other manner as he deems to be in the public interest. Any property, or interest therein, owned by the State of Texas, or any political subdivision thereof, may be acquired only with the concurrence of such owner.
(b) Adjacent or vicinal land; exchange of property; cash equalization payments
In order to facilitate the acquisition of privately owned lands in the park by exchange and avoid the payment of severance costs, the Secretary of the Interior may acquire approximately 4,667 acres of land or interests in land which lie adjacent to or in the vicinity of the park.
