text: Hosting an On-Site Flu Clinic: How to Make Flu Immunization Convenient for Your Employees Vaccinate for Life. The Texas Department of State Health Services Immunization Branch Adolescent/Adult Immunization Program 800-252-9152 www.ImmunizeTexas.com Presentation Objectives Agency Wellness Coordinator's will be able to: Explain the benefits of employee influenza vaccination programs. Assess the need and capacity for an on-site influenza vaccination program. Identify potential contract agencies for on-site influenza vaccination programs. Screen potential contractors for quality and appropriateness of medical care. Flu Symptoms Sudden onset symptoms runny or stuffy nose of flu include : muscle aches fever (usually high) Stomach symptoms, headache such as nausea, extreme tiredness vomiting, and diarrhea, dry cough also can occur but are more common in sore throat children than adults Complications of Flu: Complications of flu can include bacterial pneumonia, ear infections, sinus infections, dehydration, and worsening of chronic medical conditions, such as congestive heart failure, asthma, or diabetes. The Impact of Flu Every year in the United States, on average: 5% to 20% of the population gets the flu; more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu- related complications; and about 36,000 people die from flu-related causes. Some people, such as older people, young children, and people with certain health conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease), are at high risk for serious flu complications. Source: http://www.cdc.gov/flu/keyfacts.htm Impact of Flu at the Workplace Lost productivity by employee out sick and by those filling in the gap. Average number of days away from the office is 2-4 days (if not hospitalized). Hospitalized employees away from work for 1-2 weeks. Employees with children more likely to contract the flu (if not vaccinated). Assessing the Need Questions your agency needs to ask before hiring a contractor: Do you want to hold an Employee Immunization Clinic? Do your employees want a clinic? Is the clinic open to the employee's family members? Assessing the Need More questions your agency needs to ask before hiring a contractor: Are you planning to contract out the clinic? If you are contracting the clinic out, are there any special circumstances required for you to do so? Are there agencies in the area which you could hire for their services? Identify Potential Contract Agencies Home health agencies. Local health agencies such as a hospital, group medical practice, or health department. Other medical service organizations who specialize in giving vaccines to companies. Screening potential contractors for quality and appropriateness of medical care. Finding the least expensive is not always the best idea. Ask the following questions when approaching a potential contractor: Potential Contractor Questions Do you conduct Employee immunization clinics on site? How long have you been doing this type of clinic? Who are some of the agencies you have conducted clinics for? (Local References) Who is your Medical Director and where are they licensed? Do they have privileges to practice in Texas? Potential Contractor Questions What vaccines are you able to administer? What is the charge per shot (to the employee)? Is there a price break for larger number of persons receiving shots? Would you be able to vaccinate the employee's family members? (what ages) How many employees/family members could you vaccinate in what period of time? Potential Contractor Questions Are you able to schedule our agency for an immunization clinic by________? Who will be administering the shots? What are their credentials? (they all must be licensed in Texas) How will the cold chain be maintained? Do you have Standing Delegating Orders and can you submit a copy for examination? Potential Contractor Questions What emergency arrangements will be made? Will you be responsible for set up and tear down on the day of the clinic? How will payment need to be made? Questions?

Miami, FL (PRWEB) April 10, 2014
IT support is of benefit to keep small- to medium-sized businesses up and running. IT support providers not only solve problems, but also help get businesses back on track. In fact, by enlisting the services of a good IT support organization, it helps to lower the amount of critical problems that a business runs into. Competent IT providers offer several features in their support programs.
Computer support Miami provider Telx Computers, today announced their new, highest quality computer IT support for small to medium-sized businesses.
Telx Computers IT service providers now provide the option to back up critical business data on remote servers, from where it can be restored in the case of a disaster strike. Whether the hard drives have crashed or a fire has destroyed an office, important data will always be safe elsewhere.
Managing the databases of employee information, client orders, and project work can be quite a large and specialist role. Good tech support providers will often offer to take care of the database management as part of their service package. It is worth considering opting for this service as an alternative to having a qualified database administrator on the payroll full-time, or even calling one in on a consultant basis.
Many technical support organizations provide on-site support as part of their service plan. This involves sending a team of qualified and experienced support engineers to a business office, in certain cases when the help desk is unable to deal with the issue remotely. Oftentimes, with a good IT provider, businesses can actually do away with most, or even all of their on-site IT support team; this saves businesses a substantial amount of money.
Telx Computers, a Miami IT services, company, provides full-service informational technology (IT) services all year long, 24 hours a day for each day of the week.

Remembering the Beautiful & Terrifying Work of 'Alien' Xenomorph Creator H.R. Giger
The Alien quadrilogy is a one of the greatest crown jewels of American sci-fi horror. It has been touched by many different producers, DPs, and screenwriters, even 4 of the biggest directors in the industry. The legions of fans suffering from horrific nightmares, however, is due largely to the love for and fear of that very grotesque, very angry alien, the design of which was inspired by Swiss surrealist artist H.R. Giger who unfortunately passed on Monday. To celebrate his incredible career, we've shared a few videos that highlight his delightfully terrifying work. More »
Watch 'The Making of Aliens' and Learn Everything You Need to Know About the Film, Mostly
Aliens is one of those movies that I can plop down and watch anywhere, any time. It has a classic story structure that always seems to allay even my most stubborn hipster propensities — as aliens are jumping out of people's chests. In this behemoth of a documentary (3 hours, guys!) we get to see everything that went into making Aliens, from the construction of the APC to the Queen her slobbering self. The doc is packed with great information on the scripting, set building, and shooting of the film, so free up a block of your time and check it out after the jump. More »

2014 SHOT Show: Part 2
by Tom Gaylord, a.k.a. B.B. Pelletier
Here's our second look at what's new in airguns for 2014. Last February, while I was having dinner with Hans Wonish of Umarex, he told me about the upcoming Broomhandle Mauser I'm now testing. After we discussed that for a bit, Herr Wonish asked me if there were any other handgun models that I though might be well-received by airgunners. Several crossed my mind, but the one that really stuck out was the Colt Python! This year, I saw that revolver in the Umarex booth!
BB gun shooters are going to love the new Colt Python .357 from Umarex. It uses real shells to hold the BBs!
Another new rifle from Umarex is going to have a lot of hunters excited because it offers something they've been requesting for a long time. The new Umarex Fuel breakbarrel spring rifle (with Reaxis gas piston and SilenceAir technology) has a bipod built right into the stock! That's right — there's nothing more to buy. Just pull the legs apart and rotate them down to make a solid field stand. Or flip them back up, and they're just part of the stock.
Built-in bipod makes the Fuel spring rifle stand out — and up!
When not needed, the Fuel's bipod folds neatly back into the stock.
Edith and I went snooping over in the German pavilion. In the Diana booth we saw a gun that hasn't been seen in the U.S. yet. It's the 340 N-TEC Premium, a breakbarrel Diana with a nice silencer on the muzzle and a beautiful walnut stock with deep checkering. That's all pretty usual fare for Diana, except this rifle has something new. A gas spring that's 100 percent German made!
The Diana 340 N-TEC Premium is German's first rifle to have a German-built gas spring.
We're fortunate to have Herr Michael Mayer (of Mayer and Grammelspacher — the owners of Diana) show the gun to us. He was justifiably proud of the craftsmanship of this beautiful rifle and told us we may start seeing them in the U.S. by June of this year.
AirForce Escape nets big sales on first day!
Remember the Escape rifles I showed you 2 days ago? Well, AirForce sold their entire first 3 months of production on the first day of the show! The reception was overwhelming for this rifle; and like I predicted, people who aren't traditional airgunners were buying them, too!
Remington gets back into airguns
They haven't made airguns since 1929, but Remington Arms is revitalizing their airgun selection in 2014. Leading the effort is Dani Navickas, the lady who served many of us at the old Beeman organization for so many years. She has spent a lot of time teaching the Remington staff about the airgun market, and it looks like it will pay off this year.
The first offerings are guns made in China, but don't make a face. When I saw them, I was shocked. The quality looks as good as anything that comes from Europe these days. Each model is patterned after a popular Remington firearm, and the guns should be available to the U.S. market by early summer.
The Remington Express and Express Compact are 2 new air rifles from Remington. They say I can test an Express very soon!
Reminton also has a neat 1911A1 BB pistol. It has blowback and can fully disassemble like the firearm. I'll test that one as soon as possible!
New Remington BB pistol has blowback and offers full disassembly. The grip safety really works!
Another new product from Remington are some great field targets with features I haven't seen before. They offer killzone reducers that are permanently attached and just flip in and out of position! And some of them are resettable with a second shot — ending the need for long cords that can tangle and break.
Killzone reducers simply flip in and out of place! And reset the target with a hit on the bottom paddle!
With Dani at the helm, we can count on Remington to enter the airgun world in the right way. I hope they realize how fortunate they were to get her to lead their efforts!

I hope you and Edith packed your Sketchers, and are having fun despite the workload.
I am not much of a BB pistol shooter, but that Colt Python is the coolest. I hope that it comes in a nickel version, I can then pretend to be Rick Grimes!
That new Diana is also interesting. I like the lines of that stock. Conventional, but not traditional? Or vice versa.
I hate to be the jerk to point this out, but as interesting as that Umarex Fuel is, the fact that it is a spring powered break barrel rifle would seem to negate the utility of the built in bipod, other than for a stand. But we shall see, won't we? Hmmm, maybe you could set the thing on a skateboard to get the artillery hold effect.
Keep up the good work.
That Python is pretty cool. I'm surprised that Colt doesn't bring out a limited edition of the original classic. The airgun connection is real. B.B.'s lavish descriptions of the SW 686 pellet guns motivated me to get the firearm, and it's one of my very favorites.
I like the Diana gas spring rifle. They didnt mention cost or cal. by chance did they?
And it will be interesting to see if they have diferent technology than what we are use to in their nitro piston design. And their sound deadening device. I wonder how quiet it will be.
And I like the field target also. Did they say how much?
Will Pyramyd likely carry the Remington resetable targets?
Hello Fellow Airgun Addicts
Thanks BB for these glimpses at 2014 Shot Show. I was looking forward to today's offerings from the Shot Show, and I wasn't disappointed. If only for the picture of the Diana 340 N-TEC Premium air rifle. What immediately caught my eye were the flowing lines of the stock. I'm a true fan of wood and steel, and this Diana had my name written all over it. Of coarse it would be foolish to judge a rifle's performance on looks alone, and this is where the 125 year reputation of Diana comes into play. They make, and have made, some of the best airguns you could hope to own. For example, look at the model 34 and its legion of loyal fans and owners. This 340 N-Tec Premium may just be my first Diana.
The two Remington's pictured here also caught my eye with their classic lines. The fact they are made in China comes as welcome news. It might be the Chinese have truly been listening to our gripes and complaints about quality and workmanship. As airgunners, we only stand to benefit. With all these new airguns assaulting my senses all at once, I may have to buy a couple and put the blame on temporary insanity. Now I just hope my wife accept my defence.
I totally luv the stock on the Diana.
I only hope that these new products make it to market soon.
How much more excitement can there be left at the show for us to see?
I will just ask.
BB are we there yet. You know the end of the trip, Umm, I mean show. Oh you know what I mean. Is there still more to come?
BB, is the valve on the pistol tank a stock hi flow valve? Or is it specifically made for the new Escape?
BB said this in Part 1 of the Escape.
"It's true, some redesign of the valve was done to make the new rifles even more efficient"
I hope that's what you were looking for.
But I think they are compatible you can use it on all their guns. If that is what you are asking?
I guess what I was wondering was how a stock escape .25 was throwing more fpe than a stock condor with the long barrel in .25. I might be a little fuzzy here. I thought the condor .25 was 75 to 80 fpe and we are hearing that a stock escape in the same caliber is pushing 100?
I am just a hack in pcp–I haven't put the time in to do anything but shoot and maintain. But could someone shed some light on the energy output of the two guns?
I've had one of those types of resetable targets for years now, and they are really good if truth be told. The only thing i used to find odd when i first started using it was if i was trying to get a certain rifle to hit the 40 mm kill zone and it wasn't always doing it, i would have a harder job trying to reset it by hitting the 30 mm reset paddle. Happily those days are mostly over as my accuracy, wind, and trajectory calculating skills have improved a lot, but if i am using particularly objectionable springer i usually take a PCP to reset the thing.
Must say that i love the stock on the new Diana, that's the sort of shaped stock normally found on nice PCP's i admire. In all my many years of air gunning i have yet to shoot a Gas Piston type, I would like to try one but i suppose I'll have to wait till one of the UK airgun mags review it to hear what it's like. One last thing though and that is about the built in bi pod on the Umarex break barrel, and that is this on looks very big and powerful so wouldn't the bi pod hinder the recoil?
All you have shown today looks really cool, so thanks B. B. for an amazing report.
Best Wishes, Wing Commander Sir Nigel Tetlington-Smythe
Sir Nigel
fyi, the June 2012 issue of Airgun World has review of Crosman Nitro Venon Dusk.
Well, let's see now. An NP2 which I can probably afford, another Diana that I can dream about and a resettable target to stick up beside my Kum-Bak. I don't think I can afford much more of this trip.
My problem exactly… Wants are too big when compared to my wallet size…
I probably won't get in on the limited run of distressed 1911′s, but maybe I can get one of these. That field target looks great too!
Good morning everyone. I like the new offering from Diana (and I'm glad to see Diana can operate independently, did I say that right?) I have four in my collection since 05. A gas piston is a welcome addition to their heritage of air guns. (I wouldn't be upset if they bought out the rights from the former Theoben gas piston design). So much to say what about their "Exklusive" stocks? One thing at a time I guess? Hopefully it will not hurt our wallets to bad since they can import directly, or is it from RWS or Umarex, it does not matter as long as it is available to us here in the US. Thank you BB and Edith we appreciate what you do.
Ups forgot to put my name
I just saw the posts above my. So I got all my answers, thanks again.
Question when did the Remington Summit come out? ("Remington didn't make air guns since 1929″) Was that just Crosman licencing the logo and Remington did not profit? I lived in Bridgeport Connecticut were the old Remington Arms Factory ruin still stand on Barnum Ave.
I'm also confused about the Remington news.
I understand that Remington isn't making these airguns (they're made in China but I won't make a face).
I don't understand when B.B. says that Remington is revitalizing their airgun selections and the first models will be out in summer of 2014.
In the recent past we've had Remington badged airgun models like the airmaster, genesis, nitro piston, black magic, vantage, summit, etc.
What's different about these Remington "first offerings"?
Is Remington overseeing chinese manufacturing rather than Crosman or???
I'm thinking that too. Did Remington contract a different Chinese company? If you look at the Express features it copy some looks from R9 and different than the old B26 clone and definitely not the same as the Corsman Chinese models you mentioned. I held and shot the B26 (R9) clone I thought it was pretty good quality for price.
I see more Remington lines in the new express models than Weihrauch. I really like the looks of that carbine/compact model.
I'm also a fan of the B26/R9 clone. Years ago I bought two B26 models from MM that he tuned. Gave them to twin boys. I wrote alot about those guns on this blog. One was pellet fussy but we worked through that. Those boys have discovered girls so the guns don't get shot as much these days.
I do recall you making several Guest post here you are handy with air guns. You did a Gamo gas strut conversion once didn't you. I like the Express compact I hope it performs at 12ft since its a true compact not just carbine version (shorter barrel)
Thanks for the compliment but that wasn't me.
Everyone on this blog is handier than me. Especially Vince and Derrick.
My mistake it was Vince Called I've Got Gas on Jan, 17, 2013
On Crosman's web site they no longer list Remington (Marlin, Benjamin, Sheridan & Crosman brands). A google search for Remington airgun brings up an actual page from Remington's site with their express model, the action looks Weihrauch with the cross safety.
BB if you get a chance can you swing by the Winchester booth and get a look at the new 1873 please?
Looks like a real beauty!
I agree it looks good but did you see the caliber offerings? Sad.
WOW"Now I know where any extra money I have left will go"I always knew that someday Air Guns
would finally make it in to the main stream,With the ammo shortage and air guns resembling real
fire arms,One is now able to practice almost anywhere and with blow back keep up ones target eye.
Even though it may take a while to see these new products I can't wait.What a good reporting job
both of you do,It is almost like being there myself.I can't wait to see what's next to come out.
I for one am most excited about those new Remington targets.
I am a big fan of reset targets that you don't need a string for – but I also like FT style with reducers, and so far the only stuff I have seen readily available is the Gamo squirrel drop target, which requires a cord to reset.
I will be getting a Remington reset target as soon as they hit the market – so hopefully it actually makes it!
The FT/Silhouette reset targets with reducers have been around a long time. Some are sturdier than others.
I know they have been around – but as I said, "not readily available". It would be nice to be able to walk into a outdoors shop, or wally world, and have some thing like this available.
I've only seen the reset without string stuff from AOA, or custom made on line.
Roger that.
Readily available to me is online. Product arrives on my doorstep.
Don't have to drive to the store, use gas, stand in line and pay sales tax.
Some of the many reasons I like Pyramyd Air and they like me. LOL!!
does PA sell drop targets that do not require a string/cord to reset?
I already have the GAMO squirell target, but as I said, that requires a string to reset.
I also have the birchwood casey "gallery resetting target" but that is not FT style.
If PA does sell some thing like this Remington target I would be happy with that too!
Don't know what resets PA sells other than the gamo stuff. I bought my heavy duty resets elsewhere.
Are we not supposed to put springers on bipods (except the recoilless ones like Diana 54) or are gasram powerplants and excetion ?
From my experience springers and bipods are incompatible. Only sandbags and your hands. Gas spring is a spring too. It eliminates just side-to-side wobbling of coil springs, but not the forward-rearward kick. Perhaps B.B. knows more will give more info.
It seems to me the solution to using a bi pod on a springer./heavy recoil gun would be to make a sliding bi pod mount. You can even use springs on the mount to dampen the violence of the recoil. Just an idea, if i had access to a machine shop i would try making one.
Nice to hear from you again! Hope all has been going well for you and yours. I'm not sure about the gas rams and bi pods either. We'll just have to wait until B.B. gets and puts one through its paces.
I cannot believe I am saying this about a Tom Gaylord article, but he is wrong about the Diana gas ram, very wrong. There is already a German built gas ram rifle, manufactured in Germany, including the gas ram. True it does have an English ex-gunmaker's name on it, but Weihrauch do make all the bits themselves.
There that has given you a clue has it not? The venerable HW90 has sported a Theoben designed ram for decades, continues to be made and sold today and still works sweetly!
Sorry Tom, you claim the Diana is the first 100% German made gas spring, oh no it is not!
We all know about the HW90 aka Beeman Rx/RX1/RX2/R1Lazer tune. You said the magic word Theoben Made In England. So this might be a Made In Germany gas system. WE shall see
Not made in England, the HW90 was only ever made in Germany, it continues to be made in Germany long after the death of Theoben. The technology was licensed from Theoben, which is why the company name appears on the rifle. The ram is made by HW!
Ill look into it my guess is that even BMW, Mercedes gas struts are made in Taiwan or China. That one gas piston in HW90 does not support tooling machine cost. Weihrauch would have to sell hundred of thousands to recover the cost. the HW90 isn't their best seller.
Cant find much of the origin of gas ram . But shows HW80/R1@ 1981-1982 first one to pass 1000fps and HW90 manufacture@ 1990. Best is to Email Weihrauch to see if they build the gas ram.
I am thinking Tom meant new for Diana.
I like the colt python but that idea is already out there with the Dan Wesson revolvers. The 1911 is already out there with the Tanfoglio Witness 1911, and I'm really not seeing much innovation on the rifle side other than a built in bipod and a German built gas spring rifle that would get lost in my collection. So as nice as it would be to have a fine German rifle, I wouldn't buy it. The only one I'm liking is that new airforce escape Since I do not have a talon I'd buy the escape. That's about all I got my eye on at the moment.
John you like to work on guns. Here is something I'm doing with my Talon SS. I was talking with RidgeRunner over on the Escape Part 1 article and responded with this comment.
"What I have in mind for my Talon SS is to make a kit if you will from one of those gun cases that are plastic with the foam in each half when it opens.
I plan to make cut outs in the foam for different barrels and then also a cut out so a tin or two of different pellets can be placed by each barrel I have. Then I want to get a high flow tank and a micro-meter tank also that I hope will fit in the case. Then I have all the major components stored in one place.
So I'm sorry RR I'm gonna keep my 2 barrels I got now. And I have in my mind to take a .177 Disco barrel and do some machining work to it and add it to the barrel collection too if it works out.
All in time and money though. But that's my plan."
I know you talked before about buying parts a little at a time and putting stuff together. Maybe you can do something like what I'm talking about with your Condor. Ain't that the AirForce gun you said you have?
And what about the Escape SS or will you have trouble getting it where you live? Either way you could get different barrels and tanks as time goes on and money becomes available and have multiple options to choose from to do different types of shooting. Maybe not the way to go for you but I thought I would mention what I'm trying to do.
It's certainly a good idea. I have the condor which is a longer frame than what the escape has which is built on the talon and maybe talon ss frames. So I could build something like you describe but I need a talon frame to make it happen. The idea with the escape is keep it light, powerful, and accurate for emergencies. I was thinking of getting a talon in .22 because that is what I like then wait it out for the escape tank to come out and add that to my as of yet unpurchased talon. So I'd then have a talon and an escape. Then I could either add a 24″ barrel or grab a 24″ barrel from my condor and I'd then have a talon, escape, and the escape light weight all in one gun A shrouded barrel is a bit hard to get in Michigan. It's not impossible but just hard. So instead I'd buy a frame extender and 18″ barrel and I'd have the final escape model. So that would technically be 4 guns I could fit in a 2 gun case. If you do it all a little at a time it would be easier on your budget. But it's a good idea if I understood it right. Then you'd have an adaptable selection of guns for whatever your need.
Exactly what I was talking about.
That was one of the selling points for me when I got my Talon SS is how interchangable they are.
Exactly why I'm so excited by airforce offerings. I know that I can get a talon and then accessorize to make it into a dozen other guns of my liking and I know each one is going to be well made, have a lifetime warranty and it will be very accurate. And I know that they will be powerful. So when I see airforce come up with a new gun I know they are also going to come out with new parts so I can make what I got into the new gun which saves money. And I also still can reconfigure to my original gun or a blend of the two.
I sure don't see nothing wrong with them.
They are a very well thought out design not even talking about the quality of the guns. Which I don't see nothing wrong there either.
Regarding the problem with guns that get in the trade show but never get delivered to customers:
Sounds as if air gun manufacturers have adopted the software industry's business model, Vaporware!
Hope you ran across the Team Rubicon guys!
Hey, PeteZ is back! How are you doing?
Just started reading your posts thanks to the e mail about the Shot Show. I am a very happy girl. I live outside of Roanoke, Virginia and thanks to your post now know we have a nice airgun show to go to close by. Have many, many friends that will be happy to know this also. Both Roanoke Civic center and Salem Civic centers have very well publicised gun shows but never heard about the airgun show. Will make sure to attend it this year. Oh happy day.lol
I'm jealous.
I've only been able to attend the terrific Roanoke airgun show once since its so far from me. It's such a good airgun show that if I was as close as you are I'd never miss it. When I attended the airgun show the firearm show was going on at the same time next door.
Nice-looking collection of guns, and it's nice to hear more testimony of the Skechers in action. My Mom was very interested to hear about them…
Duskwight, I'm also willing to bet that the physical laws are intact and there has been some cutting or corners and detail to work to achieve the gains of the Crosman gun.
Saw The Hobbit last night which could also be fairly called Bowling for Orcs. It was great. You see all kinds of things including archery anti-aircraft and the most amazing collection of noses ever such that you could say that they are the treasure under the mountain. But with that, I will recommend it for your viewing.
I love the looks of the Python;however, it is a BB gun. Due to my obsession with accuracy I have stopped buying BB guns. I have quite a few replica pellet pistols and I love shooting those. This leads to my question.
What has happened to replica pellet guns? I haven't seen one from Umarex in quite awhile. I would certainly buy the Python if it were a pellet gun.
Also, I am concerned since I think I have read that the agreement between Beeman and Weihrauch has expired. What is Beeman going to sell once their inventory of the R Series is depleted? Or, am I completely confused about this? I hate to sound ignorant. But it won't be the first time.
I left out the HW Series regarding Beeman's inventory.
BB,I have been anxiously waiting info. on the Benjamin Marauder sporting a new wood stock and the new synthetic Marauder hardware.It was alluded to in comments 2 blogs back.Is it a reality?Did I miss something?I'm interested to know what the final gun weight is and your perception of it's balance and feel in your hands.
So many new choices…I'm going to have to go to a weighted decision making precess or I'll never know how to buy.-Tin Can Man-
B.B. and Edith,
I have shut my sourpuss personality out of the room! (Admitting the split personality is the first step towards recovery.)
That Colt Python already has a spot set aside in my air pistol drawer, right next to my Dan Wessons! If I didn't already have the Tangfolio, I'd sure jump for that 1911, too. Hmmm. After the report on that one, maybe I'll just have to make a bit more room for it, too. But . . . then there'd be no excuse not to complete a "terrible trio" with the Winchester version!
But THEN there is that whole new blowback Makarov! Ahhhh! So many cool BB guns, so little time (and cash, and wife's patience).
B.B., as everyone knows, it never was green-lighted by the U.S. military, but if someone (Umarex, hint, hint) would come out with a bb version of the Ingram Mac-10 (with an extended hidden barrel inside the fake two-stage silencer, of course), I would be as happy as my two cats in a tuna cannery! Seriously, I would buy three immediately: one to stay in the box, a second for my left hand, and a third for my right hand. "Say hello to my little friends!"
On the pipe-dream subject, how about Umarex producing an M-1 carbine either with the same revolving magazine they use in their pellet pistols? With blowback a la their Desert Eagle? In beech, at about the same price as their Walther Lever Action. Is there even one regular here who would not buy both of these rock 'n' roll machines?
How about an Umarex Walther P38 pellet pistol and Luger pellet pistol? (Well, might those be too narrow for the circular mag?)
I for one would probably jump on the M-1
I forgot. I'd jump on the Luger too. That was the last BB gun I will buy. I don't think it's too narrow.
G&G and Michael,
I agree with you. Making these classic replicas in bb is such a shame! I would own the Lugar already if it was a pellet shooter with blow back! Only accurate guns are interesting to me. I own 2 action pistols and the both shoot pellets. Hatsan I see is making a Ruger 22 clone that can be disassembled but ruined it with with BBs!!!
Does the fuel share the octanes spec. I'm curious to see if it is just a restock our if they've actually modified the rifle any
looks like edith n you are like a kid in a candy store. hey im not trying to plug any merchandise but google happy feet I have teir shoe pads and they are the greatest thing I have found yet. and they last too. anyway im just drooling over what you have posted so far b.b.
Is the Diana 340 N-Tec a break or side lever?
Disregard above……saw it in the write-up.
B.B.: Anything for us Colt SAA fans?
A SAA that shoots .22 or .25 pellets would be grand.
Any idea when the Umarex Colt Python will be on the market in the US? Any idea if it'll be offered in shorter barrel lengths? Maybe 4″?
if that Remington express is the same as the Remington express I looked at in academy ,its a very nice well built looking rifle. it has deep glossy blue and don't show the grind stone marks on the barrel. it looks like they polished it real good before they blued it and the wood was very nice with great checkering. I somehow think 1 might have to find its way into my safe
When will you review the Umarex Fuel?
Is shooting with the bipod as accurate as shooting off your hand with the artillery hold?

Nobody appreciates liberals who try to "help"
28th of January 2014
Many liberals come to South Africa to help blacks and eventually leave desponded, even as converted racists. The reasons are many, but basically the barbaric traditional or cultural practices of the blacks are what cause it. Another one is the way blacks respond to the "help" from these liberals. They don't want it.
Take Dutch doctor, Dingeman Rijken for instance. He has worked amongst the Xhosas and has seen hundreds of botched circumcisions, willies rotting off and young boys dying from these horrific male genital mutilations.
He has set up a graphic website exposing these practices.
Graphic circumcision website irks critics
Be warned. It is not for the faint of heart.
The dear doctor just wants to help. He even offers "solutions"…all of which is not appreciated by the locals.
Traditional leaders and cultural commentators want the website shut down.
The doctor is making several mistakes. This practice of Ulwaluko is a secret ritual and Xhosa men do not take kindly to this being exposed, especially not to women.
The ANC got flak from their own supporters in Khayelitsha in the Cape, because they used the picture of a Xhosa boy initiate on an election poster. They see it as disrespectful and the ANC exploiting Xhosa culture.
ANC initiation poster stirs ire
Doctor Rijken might honestly believe that he is doing something good, but the people he is trying to "help" hates him for it and wants his "help" shut down.
His solution that medical practitioners should do the circumcision speaks of a lack of understanding of Xhosa culture. If the boy goes to a western style hospital, he won't be considered initiated and therefore not a "man".
No western trained doctor, even if he is black and circumcised himself, may perform a traditional circumcision. The boy will not be considered a "man".
Liberals think their "superior" Western education could "help" blacks who believe in traditional medicine and practices. Blacks do not want their help. They do not want liberals to interfere.
The REAL solution is to let them be. Do not interfere with their culture. Do not try to "help". Accept them for who and what they are. Leave them alone. Simply have nothing to do with them.

and if they try to interfere in your world or try to strongarm in just test the latest hardware of the 5,56 mm , 7,62mm up to the 20mm variety on them. Circuimsized or not , man or boy they will take to their heels and leave you alone.
Spot on Mike, when will liberals get it not to interfere with their barbaric rituals? I sgree, leave them to their stone age practises, to try and convert these backwards, that's not possible, not now, never. And let them cut of or mutilate all their willies, it's to our benefitReplyDelete

Obviously the disfigurement does not prevent the species from breeding like they do, they are truly savage.ReplyDelete
I would invite more liberals to champion the cause the more the better, once there is enough of them and the natives get restless, they can genocide their arses into oblivion, problem of the groid solved.
This is sick... http://www.iol.co.za/news/crime-courts/mutilated-woman-s-heart-was-removed-1.1638146#.Uui97Pn8J1uReplyDelete

Faith is the ability to see God in the dark.
Have you ever felt that God isn't with you? That when life became tough and darkened God abandoned you? Such a feeling is common to many Christians. However, you must not rely on feelings; instead, you must rely on faith, knowing that God is always there—you just may not always be able to see him in your circumstances. That's why faith is so important.
Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. For example, if a family member dies, you may understandably question whether or not God could possibly be with you during such difficult times. However, by faith, you can be certain of what [you] do not see—certain that God was there watching over the whole situation.
Romans 4:19-21 describes how Abraham had faith even though it looked like God could never do what he said he would: Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah's womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.
In his dark circumstances, Abraham could still see God—he had faith. That's the same type of faith to which God is calling you.

Why are many of our youths in prison and not in school? Why is there such a supply of, and demand for drugs in our community? Why are so many of our youths oversexed and under loved? Why do they tend to be influenced more by negative role models as opposed to the positive? Why doesn't the church do something about the situation instead of ridiculing them?

A couple of suspected burglars didn't make it far Monday morning, thanks to a quick response by Shreveport police.
It happened in the Ingleside neighborhood around 10 a.m.
A neighbor saw something that just didn't look right at a home in Quinton St. near Virginia Ave., calling to tell police that there were 4 men loading up a truck at the back of the house.
Police say the caller knew the owners of the home hadn't been living there, making the activity suspicious.
Officers got to the area in time to spot the truck described by the caller just a block away, backed into a driveway and loaded up with stolen items. 2 men were taken into custody and questioned, but police say no charges were filed. They say they have not made contact with the homeowner, who would need to file the criminal complaint.
No have been released.

Nations collide: Manny Pacquiao v Miguel Cotto is Puerto Rico v The Philippines
Manny Pacquiao against Miguel Cotto is a sporting war between two countries. No question. Both prize fighters have major profile in their respective homelands.
As the fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Nov 14 gets nearer, expect that national rivalry to become more acute. Cotto's head trainer Joe Santiago believes both men are clearly fighting for their countries, as well as themselves.
"For the island of Puerto Rico it is huge. Everybody knows what Pacquiao has done and we know what Miguel is capable of doing. It would not only be huge for me and Miguel, but for everybody in Puerto Rico. It would be a huge win especially with what Pacquiao has done in his last few fights."
"I think both guys want to show that they are the best. One is called the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world and we know we have the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world in Miguel Cotto and when that night comes and he wins, everyone will know that Puerto Rico does have the best pound-4-pound fighter in the world."
However, there are millions of Filipinos who idolise the struggle Manny Pacquiao has had in his life and see him as a symbol of what is great about their people. As we all know, when Pacquiao fights, wars cease in his native land, and the whole nation grinds to a halt to witness their great sportsman in action.
Santiago is honest enough to admit that they have to be impressed with what Pacquiao has achieved in recent fights. "With all that Pacquiao has done lately you have to be impressed by that. We know what we are capable of doing and Miguel wants to show everyone and that's why we work so hard in this camp."
"I wouldn't say that Manny's opponents have not been quality fighters because we know they are. We know Oscar De Le Hoya and we know Ricky Hatton and their careers and that's the way we look at it."
"Miguel is obviously at the point of his career when we know he is at his best and he's going to show everyone that he is at his best. I think many Pacquiao is in for a tough night. Cotto showed in the Clottey fight how much he wants to win and how much it means to him to win. I think that desire is a very important thing to have, to win, and Miguel has it."
Yet Freddie Roach asserted this week that he could see his man winning by a first round knockout. It is possible, but most likely it is a ruse. Roach has already told me that he wants Cotto to start the fight by engaging, with Pacquiao likely to start fast and get his shots and angles off early. They want Cotto back fighting on automatic, not pushing the pace. However, if he does, I think Pacquiao will find openings if he is not tagged in the first four or five rounds by those powerful hooks Cotto possesses.

Vin, Elend, Straff, and Ore'seur from Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn. Finished my final project for my Character Design class with Jose Lopez. Woo!
The development pages should be relatively self-explanatory, but I tried to keep a unified design and color theme as ascribed in the books (black mistcloaks, white royal attire, red skies). The overall style is meant to be like an action cartoon rather than my usual illustrative one.

We're taking her to the shelter today to see if she's healthy and/or lost. But if she's really a stray - if you're in the LA area and you're interested in giving her a home, let me know! (… or I might just get her, omg, she's so nice.)
EDIT: She's not chipped. Complete stray stray. She'll be up for adoption in five days if she's healthy. We're calling her Poutine.
Still working on it. Sorry. I have 300 apps to sort through - which ended up being more than I thought I would get. D:

Teen's Email Prompts Mayor to Make Road Safer
CENTERVILLE -- A stretch of road is about to be much safer for drivers thanks to the efforts of a 13-year-old boy.
East Rahn Road near Applecreek Road has been the site of multiple crashes, and a fatality in April 2013.
"I think the guy was speeding," said 13-year-old Andrew Hornick, who at such a young age has already seen three major crashes in front of his home.
On Memorial Day weekend of 2014, there was a motorcycle crash. It was the last straw for the teen, who decided it was time for a change.
"So like this person, when he's coming around I want to make sure that he sees that it's a turn, especially at night time, because that's when all of [the crashes] happened," Andrew explained.
"He just started saying they really ought to put reflective lights or reflective paint or something on those curves," said Andrew's mom Lisa, "And my husband says, 'Well why don't you email the mayor!'"
So Andrew did. He emailed his idea to have reflectors on the curb of his street to Centerville Mayor Mark Kingseed, who responded right away.
"I was just really touched that he was comfortable enough to get in touch with me," Kingseed said, "And I was just happy that we were able to get on top of it so quickly and move so quickly on it."
Just two weeks after the email conversation, Centerville engineers have put the 13 year old's concern into action.
Andrew's parents and his hometown couldn't be more pleased.
"He's kind of like that," said Lisa, "He and all of his friends they're helpers, that's the way they are. We're pretty proud of him!"
"It's the way that it's supposed to work!" Kingseed added.
"It just feels good," Andrew said.
Reflectors will be installed on Tuesday, June 10, along with larger reflective road signs.

Situated beneath the legendary Ryan's Bar in Edinburgh's West End, the aptly named Cellar Restaurant is known for its candlelit alcoves, smooth jazz and top-notch steaks from the Borders. As well as prime meaty cuts, the kitchen also sends out a mixed bag of starters ranging from Cullen skink to aubergine pancakes with red pepper jam, plus some Scottish seafood (sea bass fillet with lemon aïoli and shoestring fries). For afters, expect traditional ideas such as dark chocolate and hazelnut mousse or sticky toffee pudding with butterscotch ice cream. Also look out for the great-value 'three-three-three' menus (three choices per course, plus a craft beer or a glass of wine from the well-spread international list). Special jazz-themed jam sessions are held on the last Sunday of every month.

Commentary: USDA's billions in wasteful spending
U.S. Senator Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., has done us all a favor by publishing his new Waste Book 2013 on nutty government spending. Thirty billion dollars this year alone. Because this is the holiday season, we need to laugh and be joyous, and his new book evokes both laughs and disgust.
The news media did point out the waste of $300 million spent on a super blimp and not used. The media also made fun of several other expenditures from the Waste Book. USDA and agriculture were spared by the media but not by Sen. Coburn. Your USDA complains mightily about facing budget pressures. Take a look at some incredible USDA expenditures of your tax money last year.
Item 5 from the Waste Book describes a USDA home loan program to help low and moderate income people. Thousands of borrowers, many not farmers borrow under this loan program. In 2013, more than 100 families received individual loan guarantees for $500,000 or more from USDA to purchase residences in Hawaii. USDA protects the banks by repaying 90 percent of the loans. No down payment or maximum purchase price is required. A farmer, presumably, needs only to buy a home in a rural area. In this case, the rural areas were Maui and Kauai.
In 2011 there were 18,808 home-loan foreclosures at USDA costing taxpayers $295 million. Last year this program lost $496 million. (Smart folks at USDA to continue this program.)
Item 16 describes USDA spending approximately $171,000,000 with U.S. sugar producers and the producers pay the loan back with sugar. In 2013, the government lost $171,500,000 because sugar companies could not or would not pay back USDA the money borrowed. Apparently USDA sold this sugar to an ethanol producer for just a few million dollars and in one case booked a $53,300,000 loss. Sugar producers are simply defaulting on their loans. Smart folks at USDA!
Item 52 is really smelly. The Rich Earth Institute, a non-profit in Vermont, received a $15,000 grant from USDA to collect human urine in the amount of 3,000 gallons. The human urine is to be used as fertilizer. It is sanitized and will be applied to fields to produce crops. The study is to promote human manure as a resource and "is the first…approved and publicly documented use of urine as a fertilizer in the United States." (Apparently the folks at USDA have never gone to China). I certainly would not want to suggest that because then we would see millions spent on travel and study on the use of human waste. USDA advises that a 2007 study in Finland found that cabbage fertilized with urine grew faster and larger; however, the sauerkraut from cabbage grown with urine tasted different. Surprise! Surprise!

Ridiculous but sad. -- Those housing loans are for low income families, more specifically aimed at non-farm families in a rural setting. Usually do not find them made to farmers. Apparently Hawaii is considered rural.
According to the Hawaii Department of Agriculture's web site: "Agriculture has always had a special place in Hawaii history and continues to be an important industry, generating $2.9 billion to the state's annual economy and directly and indirectly providing 42,000 jobs." [as of Jan. 31, 2013]. Just as on the mainland, the people in Hawaii who work in agricultural fields generally aren't those buying high-end homes. In addition, the high cost of real estate in Hawaii often means that several families (ohana) will share a residence or property. Offering housing loans to low- and medium-income agricultural families in Hawaii is no more wasteful than if they were located on the mainland. Most of the waste in government programs (not just USDA) comes from poor plan development and execution for worthwhile goals.
