Benjamin Marauder PCP Review
The Benjamin Marauder Pre Charged Pneumatic air rifle in .22 calibre is one of those products that seems too good to be true. Seriously? A PCP for $850, it can't possibly be good.
Can it?
It can.
I love this air rifle! the Marauder is accurate, powerful and incredibly quiet. It truly is an amazing air gun for its price.
The Marauder is a bolt action repeating air rifle with a ten shot rotary magazine that is auto-indexing and tells you how many shots you have fired. The magazine is easy to load but just make sure you buy a couple of extra magazines for it as it is amazing how fast you will fire off ten shots whilst plinking. Extra magazines are well priced at $25.
The two stage trigger is very good and is light enough for very precise shots. The safety is located forward of the trigger and is simple to use. I do question Benjamin's placement of the safety inside the trigger guard but in use there was no mishaps at all so it would seem that the engineers at Benjamin know better than I.
Accuracy on the Marauder was excellent for a PCP of its price range, it allowed you to place precise shots and at one point I was shooting the heads off of matches at 20m.
The Marauder comes with a shrouded barrel which is legal in Australia, unlike the American version the Australian version has had the baffles inside the barrel removed but apparently the baffles weren't very good and there is not a huge amount of difference with them in or out.
That said one of my favourite features of the Marauder is that it is extremely quiet for an air rifle of its power.
My only real criticism of the rifle is the finish on the stock, I chipped the finish whilst getting it out of my gun safe. It does seem a little fragile but chances are if you are buying this air rifle you want something that is affordable and that will be used, I have some sort of mark on every timber stocked rifle I own. Sure this stock got damaged easier than others but I would be happy if I had to refinish the stock to give a new look anyway.
Another thing to mention is that cocking the rifle takes a little bit more effort than expected, after speaking with Oleg from AusArms this was a requirement of Customs Australia as they weren't happy with how it came from factory but from every other review and report I've read about the Marauder from the US no-one even mentioned it any issues at all with the action. This doesn't take anything away from the PCP it just is a difference I would like to point out from the US Version.
Coming in at 32 foot pounds of energy in 22 calibre and up to 50 ft/lbs in .25 the Marauder is a medium powered PCP in .22 and a high powered PCP in .25cal.
I used a SCUBA tank to fill this air rifle to 3000psi (hand pump also available) and found that the claimed 30 shots at maximum power was valid without any noticeable drop in point of impact. It is very easy to see how much pressure you have left in your tank with a pressure gauge on the bottom of the fore-end. Apparently the Marauder will run on compressed air and CO2 but I wouldn't recommend that, compressed air is a better solution for airguns in my opinion so please stick with that.
The Marauder is an extremely capable hunting air rifle with its accuracy allowing you to precisely place your shots and power to take down small game with ease.
I have shot several Indian Myna birds with it and all of them were dead before they hit the ground.
The Marauder's accuracy made it easy for me to achieve headshots on rabbits which made for a very quick, very humane kill. Anyone who says you cannot hunt with airguns does not know what they're talking about.
The Benjamin Marauder is a great air rifle for its $850 price. In fact there aren't many PCP's that are close to matching the cost of this air gun. As I said before, I really love this air rifle so much so that I have acquired the unit I tested. So if you are in the market for a PCP but are on a budget, it is very hard to go past the Benjamin Marauder PCP in .22Cal.
The Benjamin Marauder is available from Aus Arms for $850.00

Hey Keith,
Great review and I so want one of these rifles! The more I read, the more I like. This particular rifle even has a dedicated forum surrounding it. There are you tube videos of people taking small pigs with the .25 cal at very close ranges, but as it is said "What is possible is one thing and what is ethical is a whole other story".
Personally I am looking to purchase the .22 cal at this stage of the game as an alternative to my rimfire. There are plenty of clips also of different people taking small game and hitting bullseyes at extended ranges (80 metres)that I didn't think were possible. I guess it goes to show how far the technology has come.
Keep up the great work.
hi keith,
good article thanks.
wat type off pallet did you use ?and wat scope ?
cheers, fred
Hey guys,
There is a truck load of information on the Marauders in this section of the forums.
Happy hunting,
Dear Sirs,
Do you ship this item to Malaysia?
Thank you.
Hi Keith
I am looking at obtaining a PCP for pest control and small game. A friend mentioned an Air Force PCP. After reading your review, Awesome. I am back to stage one. I used to use a Theoben Rapid 7 back in the UK years ago and have lost touch. Any advice would be great.
Thanks Sye.
So true about the Marauder. I tried one out but was swayed by the FX Royal 5oo in .25. Three power settings, so accurate in all three settings.
Keith, an informative review of the .22 Marauder with an impressive performance 'out of the box'. Thanks for putting it up. I have just ordered a Mk2 version, with synthetic stock. Airgun law changed in South Africa fairly recently an a .22 calibre air rifle no longer requires a police permit (FAC). I'm looking forward to testing the new Marauder and hope it will deliver accuracy comparable to yours.

Not ready for prime time, sorry
4 March 2007 at 12:20pm Last edited: 4 March 2007 12:20pm
The demo looks reasonably good (usability still a little on the funky side), but I'm thwarted at every step of the install. I've done this a LOT of time with a LOT of systems, and when I encounter this number of problems before I've even gotten the system loaded, I give up.
The permissions setup is abhorrent. As noted above, I've installed a lot of these systems, and under no circumstances was I asked to be as liberal with my file permissions as SS wants. Chmod the *entire* installation directory?! Ludicrous.
The permissions then create files that I cannot delete in the "assets" directory without suing to root.
After installation, I got this message: "Not Found - The requested URL /silverstripe/home/successfullyinstalled was not found on this server." The hilarity.
SERIOUSLY need to a., have a basic "install" readme and section in the documentation - I don't want a bleeding tutorial about setting up a basic site, I want to know what's going to occur and be requested of me when I attempt to install., b., link the documentation from EVERYWHERE (I had to search to find it) and c., improve the documentation in general dramatically.
I'm sure you guys have got some good stuff going here, but there's no way that I - let *alone* a less experienced user - am going to fight through the immediate issues to encounter what will likely be another pile of issues - if you can't get the first five minutes right, I have no faith that you'll get the subsequent five minutes, five days, or five months of usage right.
good luck, but don't call this thing stable yet!

"but there's no way that I - let *alone* a less experienced user - am going to fight through the immediate issues to encounter what will likely be another pile of issues"
Im sorry that you are having such issues with the system. I have installed Silverstripe on my machines and clients have installed it fine.
What is your current server setup like?? I find it kind of weird that this installation has been so troubling for you as like I said we have tested the system on a few different servers and they all seem to work like cake.
I would try redownloading the files and start again. You may of got a corrupted download or something.

From the sounds of things, ygg, you haven't got mod_rewrite installed or AllowOverride all set up. This has been the cause of other people's 404-on-load errors.
Your comments about the permissions are valid; this is the first criticism we've had of it, but we could probably be a lot more conservative in our choice of permissions. We'll have a look at this for version 2.1, due in April.
You're also correct about including an install readme in the archive itself.
Thanks for all your feedback, ygg; part of the reason that we open-sourced our CMS was so that we could get critical feedback such as this from a variety of perspectives. If you'd like to know when version 2.1 is released, you might like to subscribe to our blog.

As a counter to ygg, I got the whole thing up and running in minutes (admittedly the windows installer does not work and I just used the PHP version with XAMPP -- complains about SSLEAY.DLL missing) and, after the great tutorials, started writing custom pages for my app in a few hours. I thought the installation process with its checklist was very clear -- at installation I had to up my PHP memory footprint and enable mod_rewrite.so; everything went swimmingly after that.
I've been looking for a system that does what SS does for about 6 months and was resigned to using Joomla + Jreviews (custom fields extension) which was just going to be a frigging misery. SS's ability to do full customisable data models lends it to more general apps very easy. A total dream! The SS guys are clearly very experienced with CMS needs. I can see an obvious extension for SS 3.0 is an admin for visually constructing the data objects but I'm quite happy to hack with PHP classes for now!
(FYI I'm not affiliated in any way with Silverstripe but as a coincidence I was born and grew up in Wellington -- go kiwis!)

I was looking forward to checking SS out, but I may have to pass as well as ygg. My server allows a max of 755.
I also found it a concern that a user on this forum asked about permissions back in February, and his question has gone unanswered... and now it's April. I've found that most complex systems require good forum support for me to succeed. I also note with dismay that there seems to be no email notification option for forum replies. I need that for efficient dealing with forums and the rest of my life.

While I agree there is some weirdness, I did manage to get SS working on Feisty without issue. Getting it going on my Mac was another story altogether.
Here is my shameless plug for my blog entry on installing SS on Feisty server:
BTW, I have no ads, so I gain nothing but the satisfaction of helping my fellow man from you going to my blog.
If you see anything wrong with my instructions or a way to make it more secure, please let me know.

Hi LaneLester.
Thanks for your feed back; can you please confirm my understand of whats important to you;
1) As ygg as pointed out, the permissions requirements are too liberal, and this is specifically causing you a problem your server as you can't go over 755
2) Having the ability to 'monitor' posts by email (ie you get sent an email when there are replies on a thread you've started/participated in), is important.
3) You require support beyond what is currently offered in the forums.
These are all good points.
1) We are aware of this and are currently working on it - some major strives have been made in this area since Ygg made his original post.
2) We have this functionality now, we just need to implement it - I agree alot of people would find this useful, so we will make this a priority (you can expect this in 2-3 weeks).
3) With support, you do have the option of commercial support, directly from our core development team, feel free to contact me if you are interested in this.

Thanks for your thorough reply, Tim. You've summarized my concerns very well.
1) You mentioned improvements since ygg's post; is it now possible to run SS with permissions no higher than 755?
2) Excellent.
3) I understand and approve people's wanting to make money from their efforts. Regretfully, I'm not making any money (yet), so paid support is not an option for me.
I'm currently using WebAPP for my CMS needs, but I'm always interested in finding something better for particular applications.

Men's golf rallies to win the Hummingbird Intercollegiate
Related Links
The JU men's golf team rallied from a five-shot deficit, posting a five-under par round of 279, to win the Hummingbird Intercollegiate.
The Dolphins got a career-best three-under par 68 from Stephen Healy, a career-best two-under par 69 from Gavin Frost along with at two-under par from Dillon Batsel, playing in only his second collegiate tournament.
The tournament title is JU's first since the Braveheart Classic in 2007. The 279 is the Dolphins lowest round since then as well.
"I am really proud of the guys and how well they played in contention today," said JU head coach Mike Blackburn. "We've been really close to some good scores throughout the fall, but this is a great way for us to end it."
The Dolphins took home a six-shot victory over Vanderbilt and beat third-place Kentucky by 10 shots. At five-under par, Jacksonville was the only team to finish the event in red numbers.
After posting a two-under par 69 in the opening round, Healy went right to work on No. 1 with a birdie. A bogey at the second brought him back to even, but three birdies at Nos. 5, 6 and 8 were balanced by just one bogey at the ninth to make the turn at two-under par.
From there, his confidence soared with back-to-back birdies at Nos. 14 and 15. A bogey at the 17th was the only blemish on his back nine as he finished in a tie for second place at five-under par, two shots behind Vanderbilt's Adam Hofmann.
Batsel didn't look like a freshman in the final round, making the turn at one-under par with three birdies. He got to three-under par on his back nine, with only a bogey at the 15th marring the final nine holes as he tied for fourth place at two-under par.
Frost played an inspired round, after a rough start. A double bogey at the par-3 third was quickly answered by a birdie at the fifth, but a bogey at the eighth sent to the final nine at two-over par.
His fortunes turned there. Back-to-back birdies at Nos. 11 and 12 got him to even-par and another combo of birdies at Nos. 14 and 15 got him into red numbers and led him into a tie for sixth.
The round that saved JU was Bobby Fredeking's two-over par 73 that counted towards the team score. Sitting at six-over par through five holes, he rallied with four birdies and an eagle, offset by two bogeys to turn a score to help the Dolphins win the team title.
Jamey Salmon got off to a rough start with a bogey at the first and got his round back to even-par, but had some trouble on the back nine as he posted a nine-over par, 80.
With the fall schedule in the books, the Dolphins will start up in the spring with the JU Invitational hosted by Mark McCumber on the PLAYERS Stadium Course at the TPC at Sawgrass starting on Jan. 31.

Well, now that I will start writing for the Hoosiers, why don't we go with baseball? This is my second ever Hoosiers' article and I look to go to my 102nd soon. Here is my first Hoosiers' baseball article. Enjoy!
The Hoosiers were trailing Penn State by six runs, 7-1 deficit! Luckily, they tied the game but Penn State made a pair of runs in the eighth inning to win the first game of the three-game series. Let's hope the Hoosiers win the next two to beat them in the series.
But for right now, Penn State knocked off Indiana, 9-7. It was such a oh-so-close game. The loss snapped their four-game win streak and make overall record fall to 16-18, 6-3 in Big Ten.
Alex Dickerson had one hell of a game, making a solo home run and having his 11th long ball of the year. That ties freshman, Mike Sabo, who had 11 homers in 1985. Now Dickerson ties the 24-year-old record.
But Mike Deese did better. He was three-of-five and had a pair of home runs. He also had five RBI. T.J. Macy only allowed seven hits over seven innings and it boosted him up to 3-2. Hoosiers', Matt Carr, didn't do so well, though, by finishing 1-4.
Penn State made some pretty good runs in the eighth inning. To start out the inning, Deese scored a single on Carr. But then Penn State's, Cory Wine, came in and got out to make the first of the inning.
Jordan Steranka then came in to deliver the most biggest hit in the game. He made a double to deep left center which made a spot for two to score in the game. Everything went right for the Nittany Lions.
But Indiana now had their turn on the Lions. They didn't. They were literally threatened by pitcher, Ryan Ignas, in the eighth and ninth inning. Three outs came out fast and it ended the inning. Off to the ninth! He did it again.
The game was over anyways, now. The Hoosiers will return to bring revenge on Saturday at one o'clock. It will be at Sembower Field. Eric Arnett looks to lead the Hoosiers in the pitching. Let's see how he does. As of right now, the Hoosiers can beat the Nittany Lions, to me.
Just keep on slugging, and keep on winning!

A local dentist recently returned from an island paradise some 1,600 miles away from here. But he wasn't on vacation, he was on a mission.
Sun, sand and surf. Tourists from all over the world flock to Jamaica. But outside the island's plush resorts is a third world country where poverty rules.
"Most of the people we saw have a place to go to at night, but it's mostly a tin roof. Pretty poor and no air conditioning, none of those things we're used to," said Dr. Stand Hite, a dentist.
Hite has been a dentist in Independence, MO, for 41 years. For the last six years, he has taken staff members to Jamaica on a mission trip to provide dental care to some of that country's poorest people.
"There's two different groups. One, there's a lot of decay and they just wait until it hurts, and we extract the tooth, and the other is they have gum disease so they have what the Jamaicans call them, shaky, and they can't keep them anymore so we extract those too," Hite said.
On one trip they pulled 150 teeth. To put that into perspective, that's more than he does in an entire year at his practice in Independence.
"It's sad, I took out a 13-year-old's permanent first molar because it was rotten to the gum line," he said.
"I'd probably be dead (if the mission dentists didn't visit). You'd have sleepless nights like me without a dentist. So I'm very, very much appreciative about this," said Dawn, one local.
The locals said it's just too expensive for them to go to a Jamaican dentist, so at times there would be as many as 50 people lined up waiting to see Hite.
He and his staff worked non-stop at times, putting in 15 hour days.
"Sometimes the electricity went out, but that's just what happens over there, so we had to extract teeth by opening the shutters so light from outside could come in," Hite said.
At other times they used flashlights to help them see better.
"I always wanted to serve, I've been fortunate in my life to have a good profession and I just wanted to give back, and this is an opportunity through my church to do that," Hite said when asked what made him decide this was something he wanted to be a part of.
The church he belongs to helped establish a mission in Falmouth, Jamaica where a host of health professionals routinely offer their services to the Jamaican people.
"One patient, they're blood sugar was over 400, so we had to get her some insulin before we could treat her, it's sad," Hite said.
At times it can be grim work. But the one constant is the Jamaican people's gratitude.

My Qt used to work perfectly and I could create apps that ran fine and could be submitted to Nokia developer, but one day they said my new app's icon does not launch the app. I then tested it on my device and when I click on the icon the loading circle comes up for a while and then nothing happens. My apps do run once after deploying them with Qt ceator. I tried quite a few things with "DEBUGABLE" and "DEBUGABLE_UDEBONLY" but they did not help. I have now downloaded the latest Qt SDK and completely reinstalled it and removed the old setting but even when I just create a new Qt Quick application without modifying it the icon will not do anything.
Has this happened to you, what am I doing wrong?
PS. I am trying to develop on my new 808 PureView with Belle FP2, I used to develop on my N8 if that makes a difference. I also tried compiling the default app on another machine but it also had the strange icon.

Festive food - what a waste
I'm sure most of us managed to eat drink and be merry over the last fortnight, and have probably got the credit card bill to prove it. But as the holiday period comes to an end, how much of our festive feast has been thrown away?
It's estimated the average household wastes food costing £40 every month - that's nearly £500 a year. Martin Dowse has been investigating what can be done about it, when so many people are struggling to make ends meet.

The Sobibor Death Camp did exist and a revolt by the Sobibor prisoners did occur. Within this death camp, in operation for only eighteen months, at least 250,000 men, women, and children were murdered. Only 48 Sobibor prisoners survived the war.
Sobibor was the second of three death camps to be established as part of Aktion Reinhard (the other two were Belzec and Treblinka). The location of this death camp was a small village called Sobibor, in the Lublin district of eastern Poland, chosen because of its general isolation as well as its proximity to a railway. Construction on the camp began in March 1942, overseen by SS Obersturmführer Richard Thomalla. (Layout of the Sobibor Death Camp)
Since construction was behind schedule by early April 1942, Thomalla was replaced by SS Obersturmführer Franz Stangl - a veteran of the Nazi euthanasia program. Stangl remained commandant of Sobibor from April until August 1942, when he was transferred to Treblinka (where he became commandant) and replaced by SS Obersturmführer Franz Reichleitner. The staff of the Sobibor death camp consisted of approximately 20 SS men and 100 Ukrainian guards.
By mid-April 1942, the gas chambers were ready and a test using 250 Jews from the Krychow labor camp proved them operational.
Arriving at Sobibor
Day and night, victims arrived at Sobibor. Though some came by lorry, cart, or even by foot, many arrived by train. When trains filled with victims drew near the Sobibor train station, the trains were switched onto a spur and led into the camp.
The camp gate opened wide before us. The prolonged whistle of the locomotive heralded our arrival. After a few moments we found ourselves within the camp compound. Smartly uniformed German officers met us. They rushed about before the closed freight cars and rained orders on the black-garbed Ukrainians. These stood like a flock of ravens searching for prey, ready to do their despicable work. Suddenly everyone grew silent and the order crashed like thunder, "Open them up!"2When the doors were finally opened, the occupants' treatment varied depending on whether they were from the East or the West. If Western European Jews were on the train, they descended from passenger cars, usually wearing their very best clothes. The Nazis had relatively successfully fooled them, made it appear that they were being resettled in the East. To continue the charade even once they had reached Sobibor, the victims were helped from the train by camp prisoners dressed in blue uniforms and given claim tickets for their baggage. A few of these unknowing victims even offered a tip to the "porters."3
If Eastern European Jews were the occupants of the train, they descended from cattle cars amidst shouts, screams, and beatings, for the Nazis presumed that they knew what awaited them, thus were thought more likely to revolt.
"Schnell, raus, raus, rechts, links!" (Fast, out, out, right, left!), shouted the Nazis. I held my five-year old son by the hand. A Ukrainian guard snatched him; I dreaded that the child would be killed, but my wife took him. I calmed down, believing I would see them again soon.4Leaving their baggage on the ramp, the mass of people were ordered by SS Oberscharführer Gustav Wagner into two lines, one with men and one with women and young children. Those too ill to walk were told by SS Oberscharführer Hubert Gomerski that they would be taken to a hospital (Lazarett), thus were taken aside and sat upon a cart (later a little train).
There were many decisions to be made quickly. But after days or even a week in the trains many were not physically or mentally prepared. What was the best choice? Should the boys act older or go with their mothers?
Toivi Blatt was holding his mother's hand when the order came to separate into two lines. He decided to follow his father into the line of men, thus he turned to his mother, unsure what to say.
But for reasons I still cannot understand, out of the blue I said to my mother, "And you didn't let me drink all the milk yesterday. You wanted to save some for today."The stress of the moment, under the harsh conditions, did not lend to clear thinking. And, usually, the victims did not realize that this moment would be their last time to speak or to see each other.
Slowly and sadly she turned to look at me. "This is what you think about at such a moment?"
To this day the scene comes back to haunt me, and I have regretted my strange remark, which turned out to be my very last words to her.5
If the camp needed to replenish its workers, a guard would shout out among the lines for tailors, seamstresses, blacksmiths, and carpenters. Was volunteering a good or bad decision? Those that were chosen, often left brothers, fathers, mothers, sisters, and children behind in the lines. Other than those that were trained at a skill, sometimes the SS chose men or women, young boys or girls, seemingly randomly for work within the camp.
Out of the thousands that stood on the ramp, perhaps a select few would be chosen. Those that were chosen would be marched off at a run to Lager I; the rest would enter through a gate that read, "Sonderkommando Sobibor" ("special unit Sobibor").

Born: April 19
Born in Manhattan, raised in San Francisco & Geneva, Switzerland, Piers is based in New York City where he records, performs and teaches guitar. He combines a soulful approach, precise technique, and a clean old-school tone with the upmost respect for the geniuses of Modern Jazz and a deep love of the Blues.
After studying Guitar and Composition at the Conservatoire de Musique in Lausanne Switzerland, he returned to New York to join the Jazz-Mobile Orchestra Big Band and continue his studies with jazz guitarists Barry Galbraith and Ted Dunbar. With the encouragement of session guitarist Ritchie Resnikoff, he joined the orchestras of several Broadway shows including Guys and Dolls, Dancin', Hubie, and Your Arms Too Short to Box With God....

Guitarist Piers Lawrence realizes his dream of recording a mainstream jazz album through a well- balanced mix of originals and standards. Lawrence is a confident player with an ear for melody and flowing harmonies. He has a graceful quality that gets into the songs whether he is out swinging or embracing bop.
Lawrence also comes off as a pretty skilled writer through his three contributions to the set. Samba Christina is, naturally, a samba. The guitarist feeds the tune with thick notes, deliberately letting open air in and then snapping on the notes to give them a solid depth. His sense of dynamics and proportion comes to the fore in his run of notes, a skein taken up by Chuk Fowler whose piano rides a trail of breezy phrases.
Everytime, another Lawrence composition, is a ballad. Jim Hankins is recorded heavy on bass, a trait seen on other tracks but Lawrence soothes. He lets the beckoning melody unravel and soak in, then bites down, laying a harder line that ups the emotional factor.
The band does well in its interpretation of standards. Lawrence bops out on Charlie Parker's Donna Lee, the rhythm section providing sound support, with Sir Earl Grice setting a lithe snap on the drums. Lawrence and Fowler continue to be emissaries, one following the other, playing with zest and feel. The two also spark each other and come off as energetic musical cohorts on Secret Love.
With a band that is in empathy with his aspirations and the music, Lawrence serves up enjoyable music.

02.17.08 | All About Jazz - LA By Paula Edelstein
Stolen Moments features the exceptional musciality of guitarist Piers Lawrece, bassist Jim Hankins, Sir Earl Grice on drums and Chuk Fowler on piano. Lawrence's soulful, melodic guitar playing and prolific songwriting makes this CD a masterful offering for anyone into straight-ahead jazz.
While many of Lawrence's fans know him from his association with such hit Broadway musicals as Guys and Dolls, Hubie, Dancin' and Your Arms Too Short To Box With God, his presence in the jazz galazy includes his ownership of JazzNet Media and his production of the Internet radio show called Manhattan Jazz.
The CD features such great standards as Sonny Rollins' Pent-up House, Oliver Nelson's Stolen Moments, the rarely heard Charlie parker composition Donna Lee and the Fain/Francis gem Secret Love. While those standards may enamor the die-hard jazz enthusiast to the quartet's musicality, Lawrence's own Everytime and Dimanche are prominent showcases for their steller interplay and Lawrence's ability to bring something new to the table for novice jazz lovers - be it a blues or a loving ballad.
These songs are real winners and are destined to become jazz standards or ensconced in some amazing player's repertoire because of their beautiful melodies and chord progressions. Along with the excellent soloing, this quartet captures the character of a late night jazz scene with all its energy and depth of emotion.
So steal a few moments to enjoy this excellent recording. You'll be glad you did.
12.27.07 | Kudos to Piers Lawrence December 27, 2007 PIERS LAWRENCE guitar; CHUK FOWLER piano; JIM HANKINS bass; SIR EARL GRICE drums http://ejazznews.com/ By: Edward Blanco
Hailing from the New York area, the Piers Lawrence Quartet issues what is apparently their debut album with a vibrant performance in a new 2008 release of a straight-ahead jazz CD entitled "Stolen Moments." The album is the culmination of a long time dream of New York native and jazz guitarist Piers Lawrence. A self published recording on his own label (Jazznet Media), Lawrence is also producer and host of "Manhattan Jazz," an internet radio show on www.tribecaradio.net .
His quartet is comprised of Harlem-raised pianist Chuk Fowler, Detroit-born and bred Jim Hankins and New Jersey's own Sir Earl Grice manning the drums. Essentially a rhythm-based quartet, the group plays tight and provides one marvelous performance.
Lawrence includes three original tunes but starts off with the terrific and bouncy Sonny Rollins score "Pent-Up House." Turning South, Lawrence takes off on his samba-shaded "Samba Christina," delivering excellent runs on the guitar leading to Fowler's solo play on the keys and a nice drum roll from Grice. The title piece and Oliver Nelson tune, "Stolen Moments," is one of the best renditions around capturing that familiar melody quite well.
The band picks up the beat and swings on Charlie Parker's standard "Donna Lee," where both the leader and pianist peel off some sturdy runs to make this one of the best charts here. Other notable tunes include Lawrence's "Dimanche," the Fain/Francis standard "Secret Love" and John Pastorius's "Reza" to round out the set.
"Stolen Moments" is another warm slice of straight-ahead jazz delivered by a guitar led rhythm-based quartet guaranteed to please jazz critics and the discerning jazz audience alike. Kudos to Piers Lawrence and crew for crafting an entertaining and engaging session of jazz.
CD Review: http://www.midwestrecord.com/ PIERS LAWRENCE QUARTET/Stolen Moments: This crew comes across like a classic bunch of jazzbos. Recording the date in an afternoon mixing Rollins, Parker and Nelson with originals and some Jaco, the guitar led crew has the easy after hours vibe that flows from the Harlem renaissance in which most of them have some roots. Not showy but with a lot of flair, listeners that like their jazz straight up will simply dig this set. Well done throughout.

SALEM — Salem City Council, during a Monday night meeting, took no action on a proposal from Jefferson County to house its animals.
City Manager Bill Gruen made two proposals to the council, but the council wanted more information, and were concerned about the three-year agreement sought by Jefferson County officials.
The Jefferson County proposal was considered, along with the option of renovation of two buildings currently owned by the city. The properties under consideration are a city building by the landfill and the other building is near Goff Plumbing, according to Gruen.
"There's a desire to be further informed on costs that would be involved with having our own facility," Gruen said Tuesday. "Without any further information, the city council was reluctant to look at other contractors.The fact they took no action is not a disapproval of the agreement; they just took no action."
Gruen estimated it would cost the city between $160,000 and nearly $200,000 for construction and startup costs for a renovation project, adding the first year operating costs would be approximately $110,000.
Jefferson County officials have indicated the current animal shelter may be expanded, although no proposals have been introduced to the County Board for action.
Jefferson County Board approved the three-year proposal for the city of Salem at its June 17 meeting.
Information states the contract with Jefferson County would cost the city of Salem a minimum of $1,500 per month with an additional fee after the first 25 dogs are received by the county.
Gruen pointed out that talks with Jefferson County have been fruitful, and he is appreciative of the efforts made by Jefferson County officials to reach out to Salem.
"The people that I've been working with at the county level, including animal supervisor Martin Boykin, County Chairman Robert White and Suzy Tate have been great to work with," Gruen said. "We have a handshake agreement that if we need to use their facility on an as needed basis we can do so.

Kathleen Kilmain
B.A. in History from the University of Mary Washington. I've studied abroad at Charles University in the Czech Republic and Lingnan University in Hong Kong.
Favorite place on campus:
The Rogers Center for the Arts is a beautiful space that includes an auditorium, orchestra pit, art gallery and glass enclosed atrium. The theater seats over 600 people and many performances are open to the public!
Fond memory or experience from your undergraduate years:
Studying abroad in Prague was one of the major highlights of my undergraduate years. I made a home among the ancient streets full of beautiful architecture and parks. Across my classroom window sat Prague Castle. When I reflect back on this time, which both challenged and inspired me, I feel incredibly fortunate. This experience opened my eyes to the benefit of experiential learning and I have been a professional advocate ever since.
Tips for high school seniors:
Plan ahead. Create a college application timeline for yourself so you can avoid the stress that comes with procrastination and enjoy your friends and school events.
Last great book you read:
Gone Girl - By Gillian Flynn
Most played song on your ipod:
Safe and Sound by Capital Cities, my most recent running jam.
Where would you like to travel:
I would travel to Ireland to look for distant relatives and take millions of photographs of beautiful landscapes, castles and sheep.
One thing about you that may surprise your colleagues:
I was attacked and bitten by monkeys in Thailand. Several years and rabies shots later, I still loathe monkeys.
One great discovery you've made on Merrimack's campus:
Dunkin Donuts!
What makes Merrimack the place to be:
Merrimack fosters learning by doing. Students are hands on and interact with others, creating a very friendly and encouraging community. Students, faculty and staff are interested in supporting each other, something that is evident even from a simple walk through campus.

A town administrator or manager's political leanings are not always a deciding factor in how he or she may manage a municipality's day-to-day operations, which is really the guts of the job.
But it certainly helps to know that a potential administrator, the Board of Selectmen, and community residents all have experience pursuing similar goals. And the Manchester selectmen seem to have chosen perhaps the perfect candidate to carry on from former and now interim administrator Wayne Melville.
In serving as town administrator for the last 13 years in the bucolic Berkshires town of Lenox, Gregory Federspiel has led the town to a designation as a state-recognized "green community" — something Manchester is seeking as well. And in Manchester, of course, he's coming to a town in the front edge of another growing environmentally-based effort; residents at their Annual Town Meeting two weeks ago approved a new bylaw that will ban stores from distributing single-use plastic bags, effective July 1.
Lenox Selectman Ken Fowler said last week that Federspiel is "very environmentally aligned." It doesn't get much more environmentally aligned than a ban on plastic bags.
With that, we hope the selectmen can indeed firm up a viable contract with Fiederspiel, and we look forward to welcoming him to Manchester and to Cape Ann. He and the town he will likely help to lead seem like a perfect match.

Critic Roundup: The Barnes Foundation
The reviews have been streaming in steadily since the opening of the Barnes Foundation, the collection of early modernist masterworks of Dr. Albert C. Barnes, on Saturday at its more centrally located site along Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The building, designed by Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, at a cost of $150 million, replicates the galleries of the original structure while expanding its footprint to add new amenities like a central court, a café, a gift shop and an auditorium—a total of 93,000 square feet, compared to the original in Merion, a suburb of Philadelphia, which was only 10,000 square feet. The critics are all over the place on the new building. Here's a cheat sheet of where some of them stand. Read More

The search is on for a missing boater who was last seen in a Kershaw County river late Saturday evening.
According to Department of Natural Resources officials, a 44-year-old man and a woman were in a boat on the Wateree River when it hit a floating log around 11 p.m. Saturday.
Family members have identified the missing man as Michael Thompson.
DNR says a female boater could hear Thompson screaming after he fell out of the boat, but couldn't see him.
Officials say the woman eventually found a fisher who was also on the lake that evening and had him take her back to the spot where the boat had overturned. There were no signs of Thompson.
Thompson's family is looking for him at the Highway 1 Bridge Boat Landing in Lugoff and the Highway 378 bridge at the Richland/Sumter County line.
DNR officials are also seeking Thompson. They are using boats and aircraft to try and locate him. The water is at flood stage and is moving rapidly.

Hot, gooey and very, very tasty
Servings: 12-15 rolls
Prep Time: 1 hour 20 min
Cook Time: 30 min
Difficulty: Moderate
1/4 ounce package yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup scalded milk
1/3 cup butter or shortening
1 tsp. salt
1 egg
3 1/2 - 4 cups flour
1/2 cup melted butter, plus more for the pan
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
3/4 cup raisins, walnuts, or pecans (optional)
4 tablespoons butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3-6 tablespoons of hot water
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside. In a large bowl mix milk, sugar, melted butter, salt and eggs. Add two cups of flour and mix until smooth. Add yeast mixture. Mix in remaining flour until dough is easy to handle. Knead dough on lightly floured surface for 5-10 minutes. Place in well-greased bowl and let rise until doubled, usually 1 - 1 1/2 hours.
When doubled, punch down dough. Roll out on flour surface into a 15x9 inch rectangle. Spread melted butter all over dough. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over buttered dough. Sprinkle with walnuts, pecans, or raisins if desired. Beginning at 15 inch side role up dough and pinch edge together to seal. Cut into 12-15 slices. Coat bottom of baking pan with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Place cinnamon roll slices close together in the pan and let rise until dough is doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes or until nicely browned.
Meanwhile, mix butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Add hot water 1 tablespoon at a time until the glaze reaches desired consistency. Spread over slightly cooled rolls.
They are so freaking hard to make! #struggling! The dough didn't rise on its own so we had to put it in a warm oven with boilding water. Also, who starts a recipe with 'heat the oven' when you know it's going to take all day before anything's even supposed to go in there?! And on that note how could it possibly take 1hr 50m when in the recipe you have to leave it to rise and bake for over two hours - not including ANY prep time??! This recipe blows my mind. You should probably also mention not to just straight up pour half a cup of melted butter right over the dough without the cinnamon sugar mixture because that junk just slips right off the edges. But I mean they look pretty good, I just think the recipe sucks.

Tried all different cinnamon roll recipes and nothing beats this one! Used this recipe for fundraising, gifts, feeding large groups, as well as my family and everyone loves them! Easy to follow! Used brown sugar instead of white for filling, buttered bottom of pan and sprinkled addition brown sugar to add more gooey goodness!

These are the BEST cinnamon rolls out there! The glaze needs cream cheese though, so I added half a package of low fat to the current ingredients - perfect!

If the past few yearsNews
April 09, 2002, 11:51 PM
If the past few years are any example, imported blockbusters, or dapian in Chinese, are expected to dominate China's cinemas this year, analysts predict. Encountering tremendous pressure from Hollywood movies, domestic movie makers and critics have continued their debate on how to develop the home film industry. The past Spring Festival season saw the huge success of the year's first imported blockbuster - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Very nice. Great for a large project if you are starting out cold and want to get a good overview. Makes navigation a snap.
very helpful tool, the Outliner.
This is a very helpful tool. Very eager to see VS2010 be avaiable!
I don't experience any bugs like the other reviews. I think it is great. It does flicker whenever you add a new member if you don't have the window set to Auto Hide. But it only flickers for like half a second. I think it's a nice free alternative to ReSharper.
Very good, very useful, BUT... what about sorting option?
Buggy as hell. Does not work. Not with C# Projects and not with C++ Projects. Instead it is endless flickering and jams the complete Visual Studio (2008 Pro).
It's not bad, but it's not amazing either.
My daily used view! Nearly perfect. There is just one thing: the filter should not reset on every new class/file, but rest on its setting!
This PowerToy is a great idea but unfortunately it has a nasty bug which causes Intellisense to disappear in many cases. I recommend avoiding this download until this bug is fixed.
If you deal with large code files, this is a must-have. This tool allow you to easily navigate, filter and find the right code elemtns in your code file. I love this tool!

(it's another Tuesday version this week because I have stuff to do tomorrow)
I had the pleasure this weekend of attending a few shows at Music Fest NW, which is basically Portland's (smaller) version of Austin's SXSW. A bunch of venues, a bunch of bands, and a lot of it is awesome. I, however, am now that guy that, when I was in my early 20's, would point at and mockingly say "hey, look, somebody's dad's here!". Which always makes me laugh when I'm at a show and remember that, because I know full well that someone at a show is now doing that to me and I just don't give a damn.
Even in my show-going prime, when I would go to 3-4 shows a week (I had the distinct advantage of being in my early 20's in Seattle in the 1990's...I'm not a "you had to be there you don't know what you missed" kind of person normally, but man, that was a great time to live in Seattle), I wasn't ever a costumed show-goer; I didn't wear band t-shirts (even ironically), and my standard go-to-a-show outfit was plain t-shirt and jeans, or shorts in the summer.
So I have always had a healthy dislike for people who dress for a scene - I've always found it sorta pointless and show-ponyish. I don't go out to impress people, I go out to enjoy music.
When we were waiting in line for one show Saturday afternoon, there was a gaggle of hipster kids about four or five people behind us. The venue for the show shares a parking lot with a kinda trendy hotel, and there was a wedding taking place at the hotel, out in the courtyard. There was a pretty constant stream of cars pulling up and dropping people off for the wedding, and it looked like a pretty swanky wedding - lots of suits and ties and really nice dresses.
At one point, one of the hipster kids very loudly said "MAN, IF I MAKE IT TO 40 I'LL NEED TO SHOOT MYSELF. BEING 40 MUST REALLY SUCK" and then they went off on a tangent about how being old pretty much equals being dead.
I couldn't even get irritated at them - it was adorable. I wanted to go buy them all beer and say "let's meet in this same spot in 10 years and see how we're all feeling about getting old at that point, shall we?" It was either that or give them a copy of My Generation and tell them to STFU.
I'm not sure there's a question to be asked there, I just thought it was a really funny story; I guess I'll throw this week's NSSF open to pretty much anything. Seen any good bands lately? Excited for fall? What else is on your mind?
