About Parkway
Be Our Guest
Welcome. We're glad you are interested in Parkway and hope you'll make plans to visit us soon. Our ultimate aim through our corporate worship gatherings is to magnify God by leading people to know and follow Him. Thus, we preach the gospel of Jesus Christ unapologetically in our God-centered worship services. If you're planning to visit, below are some details you might find helpful.
Weekly Corporate Worship Gatherings
Sunday Morning – 9:00 am and 10:30 am* (Children's Church for ages birth-Kindergarten is provided)
What to Expect
At Parkway we work extremely hard to provide a worship environment that fosters biblical instruction, corporate celebration, and family fellowship. To this end, we hope everyone who joins us on Sundays will hear and respond to God's word, announce God's worth, and experience God's love.
Guests who take advantage of preferred parking will enter the building into our main lobby. As you enter you'll see three sets of double doors that enter into the back of the Worship Center. Also in the Main Lobby, Guest Services / Information Desks in the center can direct you throughout the building. Visual learners might want to download a map of our facilities.
Because the youngest members of our families are often unable to participate meaningfully in our corporate worship gatherings, we provide an age-appropriate learning environment for all children ages birth-kindergarten. When entering through the main entrance, you'll be in our main lobby. Simply proceed through the hallway leading out the right side and follow the signs to our Kidzone Preschool area to take advantage of this opportunity. Visual learners might want to download a map of our facilities.
Guests at Parkway receive preferred parking. After turning from US Hwy 150, simply follow the signs to guest parking located near the front entrance.
Additional Information
For more information, you can contact our office during the week or stop by the Guest Services / Information Desks in the Main Lobby on Sunday Morning.

TVXQ captivates thousands in spectacular <'Catch Me' Live World Tour> in Malaysia!May 20, 2013
After six long years since their last concert here, the boys of TVXQ made their return to Malaysia with yet another set of jaw-dropping performances!
The boys of TVXQ were in town last weekend for the Malaysian leg of their 'TVXQ! 'Catch Me' Live World Tour', which started in Seoul in October 2012 and has since sold out all across Asia!
TVXQ's Yunho and Changmin kept fans and concertgoers captivated with their passionate and dazzling performances throughout the near three-hour concert with hit songs from their career including the opening performance of 'Rising Sun', 'Mirotic', 'Catch Me', 'Humanoid', Changmin's heartfelt performance of self-written track 'Confession', Yunho's enchanting performance of 'Honey Funny Bunny' and many more.
To the delight of local fans, Yunho and Changmin also greeted in Malay with phrases such as "Apa khabar? Kami TVXQ!" and "Saya sayang awak".
Thousands of fans were entertained by the spectacular performances of TVXQ at Stadium Melawati, Shah Alam last Saturday evening (May 18th) and the RM1.5 million-invested concert stage with an unique layout provided an intimate concert setting for the concert to allow a closer and more personal experience with TVXQ's signature dance moves, catchy beats and of course, the soulful ballads.
The collaboration of JPM Music and Korean companies SM Entertainment and Dream Maker Entertainment made this successful concert possible and we would like to convey our sincere thanks to them for allowing coverage at the astounding and breath-taking TVXQ concert in Malaysia. We also look forward to more Kpop concerts in Malaysia in the future!
[AD] TVXQ says 'Catch Me' in Kuala Lumpur on May 18th!May 15, 2013
TVXQ! "Catch Me" World Tour, Live in Malaysia, 18 May 2013
Kuala Lumpur, 15 May 2013 – Kuala Lumpur shall soon welcome the return of 'K-Pop royalty', TVXQ!, the biggest alternative Korean pop band in Asia. With the performance they've all been waiting for just around the corner, Malaysian Cassiopeias are brimming with excitement – and rightly so! TVXQ! 'Catch Me' Live World Tour concert organiser, JPM Music, has now been joined by the band's production crew (all the way from South Korea) and are in the process of building the stage that will be unlike any other stage used in TVXQ's Asian tour so far.
More than RM1.5 million has been invested in the development of this stage which is specially designed for the Malaysian fans to enjoy an intimate concert experience. The layout of the stage and audience seating allows a great number of fans to feel that they are getting up-close-and-personal with Max and U-Know as they rock the stadium with their electrifying dance moves and soulful sounds.
This performance will mark TVXQ!'s third appearance in Malaysia since the band was formed in 2003 and it is also their first time performing in Malaysia after an absence of 6 years. Their break from the limelight has not left the group's following to diminish and in fact, their fan base in Malaysia has continued to grow over the years. So whilst many of the thousands attending the concert this weekend will be long time followers of TVXQ!, there will also be many new fans who have been won over by the boys' previous successes and earlier music.
Fans attending the concert which will be held at Stadium Malawati, Shah Alam on 18th May 2013, are advised to take note that the concert time has been changed to 6.00pm. For those who are still keen but have yet to make arrangements – tickets are available (but in limited supply) and there's just 3 days left before the big day so don't miss out!
Tickets are available to purchase through http://www.ticketcharge.com.my and all official outlet of Rock corner.
For more information, please log on to www.jpmmusic.com.my or visit the official JPM Music Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/JpMusic.my. Email to email@example.com for any enquiry of tickets or call +603-77128690 (Monday – Friday, 10am – 6pm) for details.

SMTOWN Live World Tour III in Singapore concluded successfully!November 25, 2012
The 'SMTOWN Live World Tour III in Singapore' concert was successfully held for the first time in Singapore on November 23rd at possibly one of the most scenic venues – The Float @ Marina Bay. With the beautiful Singapore city skyline in the background, SMTOWN artists – Girls' Generation, BoA, TVXQ, f(x), SHINee, Super Junior, Kangta and EXO, performed a total of 50 hit songs in the attendance of 24,000 in the audience, making this concert the largest ever in Singapore in recent years.
Despite the occasional rain showers and drizzles before and during the concert, the artists performed professionally and kept the audience in awe especially for the heavy rain towards the end of the concert starting from BoA's 'Only One', f(x)'s 'Electric Shock', SHINee's 'Sherlock', Girls' Generation's 'The Boys', Super Junior's 'Sexy, Free & Single' and most especially, TVXQ's 'Catch Me'. The professionalism of the artists performing and dancing powerfully on stage despite the rain received praises and much love from the fans who were also watching faithfully and without falter in the rain, clad mostly in ponchos and raincoats.
In the 4-hour concert extravaganza, members of Girls' Generation performed a total of 11 songs including collaborations with other artists. The songs they performed during the concert were:
1. California Gurls – Jessica & f(x)'s Krystal
2. Devil's Cry – Taeyeon
3. Run Devil Run
4. Genie
5. Twinkle – Girls' Generation TTS
6. DJ got us fallin' in love – Girls' Generation TTS and EXO's D.O, Luhan, Sehun, Chanyeol
7. Dance Battle – Yoona, Hyoyeon and Yuri with Yunho, Eunhyuk, Tao, Kai, Taemin and Victoria
8. Mr. Taxi
9. Gee
10. Kissing You
11. The Boys
Prior to the concert, a press conference for the concert was held at the Ritz Carlton hotel and it was attended by representatives from the SMTown family – BoA, TVXQ, Kangta, Girls' Generation's Seohyun, f(x)'s Victoria, Super Junior's Donghae, SHINee's Onew and EXO's Suho and Kris.
The artists expressed their excitement to be performing in an SMTown concert for the first time in Singapore and they felt that The Float was a really special choice of a venue because of the beautiful view as well as performing on a stage above water.
When asked about the backstage atmosphere, Victoria said that SMTown seniors and juniors mingle and chat in the rare opportunity to hang out together while having fun and they cheer each other on between performances. She also enjoys the last song in the concert, 'Hope' where everyone of the SMTown family goes on stage to sing and greet the fans.
Meanwhile, Seohyun was concerned when asked about her opinions of fans who queued up early for the concert. She was grateful for all the fans who turned up for the concert despite not having performed many times in Singapore. As for those who have been waiting for a week, she was really worried about their health because of the rain. With that, she expressed their determination to perform to their very best to repay their fans.
Meanwhile, the SMTown family are currently in Bangkok, Thailand, having left Singapore a day after the concert to perform for the next SMTOWN concert on November 25th.
More photos from the press conference by Fanwonder.com media will be uploaded soon.

This has always been something I have been incredibly interested in as an insecure Magic fan who feels the team gets no respect... at least since Shaquille O'Neal left. But it has upset me even more since I left Orlando for college and now that the Magic are actually, well, good again.
The NBA does not seem to give the Magic the respect they maybe deserve. I realize this series may not have the star power or intrigue (before game one, at least) of some of the other series. But it seems a bit unfair to signal out a few series to take off basic cable. I have a feeling if Game 3 were not on Friday night it too would be relegated to NBATV.
If David Stern is serious about growing some of the brands of his smaller market teams, taking away this playoff visibility is not helping. The Magic can fix all this of course by winning and getting deeper into the postseason, but it is frustrating trying to get everyone to jump on the bandwagon when it is so hard to see.
Maybe I am just being selfish because I cannot watch the biggest games of the year without going to a sports bar outside of Orlando. But you cannot build any national respect or following without showing these games.

Today he smells like candy watermelon
Jackson has definite opinions on how he wants to look, and he thinks long hair is cool. (Although I'm the one he argues with when it's all tangled up in the morning.) He keeps it clean, though, and today he smells like candy watermelon.
Last night he said to me: "Mama scale of huggability: one billion. Sense of humor: negative 10."
Me: "What?! I have no sense of humor?"
Him: "Not after 9:30 at night. Then you're cranky and want to go to sleep without telling me a story."
Me: "I'm cranky because it's 9:30 and you're NOT ASLEEP YET."

He played on two of the Vikings four Super Bowl teams, a six time Pro Bowl linebacker (only surpassed on defense by #1 jersey on DN Alan Page who had 9 appearances). Blair amassed 1452 tackles during his playing career which ranks 2nd all time on the team. He is the team leader with 20 blocked kicks. I forgot about this the Vikings use to be pretty good at blocking kicks (and getting interceptions). The induction will take place on Oct. 25th at halftime of the Tampa Bay game. Played from 1974-85 and will be in the record books for years to come. Congratulations Matt Blair. He had a pretty darn good college career at Iowa State.
I don't know who/how picks/decides who gets into the ring. I can't argue with anyone on this list. Is there a limit on how many can make the club?

Residents hoping to get a first glimpse of the interior of the new Natick High School can stop by on Aug. 28 at 6 p.m. for a tour.
The $61 million dollar, 254,000 square foot facility promises to offer interactive projectors, wireless Internet, a rain water reuse system and a rooftop solar installation.
Demolition of the old Natick High still continues next door, which will be replaced with parking spaces as the school year progresses.
"Within the next three weeks the building will receive the final cleaning and the teachers will be in to setup their new rooms. In the meantime the contractor is working feverishly to complete outfitting the Gym and installing exterior facade of the building," the Natick Public Schools Department posted on their website.

Last week we started sharing the rosters that FIFA 13 gives for the U.S. Men's National team. Once again, we know it is a video game, but this is still interesting. It seems like a lot of German squads were not consulted and even my created player was not called in. A handful of these players were in the roster we posted last week, so some of this will be a repeat.
All three the same from last week.
Brad Guzan (Starter) – Guzan has been named to many camps under Jurgen Klinsmann. His recent play has been great at Aston Villa considering the team's overall defensive ability is poor. Some may even say his club for has been better than Tim Howard. He was the starter for the friendly match.
Tim Howard – He has been the stalwart and his national team form has been unbelievably solid. Could Guzan ever take over as the number one? Form and age would say no.
Andy Gruenebaum – The Hebrew Hammer seems to be an unlikely third choice. He plays for the Columbus Crew and was drafted in 2006. He became the first Major League Soccer keeper to give up a goal to an opposing keeper during the run of play. He started 33 matches for the Crew this season.
Only two of six are the same.
Connor Lade (Starting Right Back) - The New York Red Bulls player does not have the height and struggled some in the MLS Playoffs, but had a rather solid year. He seems to understand a system and when to make a run. Lade had 30 appearances in all competitions. He was called to the u-20 club while in college, but never made an appearance.
Clarence Goodson (Starting Center Back) – Even the video game is giving Goodson another chance. They must be hoping for his one international goal each year, minus 2012.
George John – John was recently rewarded with a new contract with FC Dallas, but has had some injury concerns. When healthy he is one of the better defenders in Major League Soccer. He is still eligible to play for Greece as well.
Chad Marshall (Starting Center Back) – The Columbus Crew captain is a veteran and finished second to Clint Dempsey for Rookie of the Year in 2004. He is the 2008 MLS Defender of the Year. Marshall has caps for the under-17 team all the way up to the National Team. His first cap with the National Team was in 2005 but had to wait four years until his next in the Gold Cup. He received Gold Cup All Tournament Honors.
Gabriel Farfan – The 24 year old has nine caps with the under-17 squad but has not seen action since 2005. He now plays with the Philadelphia Union and started 22 matches this season.
Fabian Johnson (Starting Left Back) – No explanation needed.
Four of ten are the same.
Mix Diskerud – Diskerud scored the equalizer in Russia and seems to be a great piece to the puzzle. He has a lot of playmaking ability and could be what Jose Torres has yet to be for this team. In real life, Diskerud should be on many future rosters.
Clint Dempsey (Starting Attacking Mid – 10) – Dempsey is back on the roster and in the midfield. Would that work in this set up?
Joe Corona (Starting Left Wing) – Fans have got to know Corona through under-23 competition and recent camps under Klinsmann. He also just won the Mexican Apertura With the Xolos. He seems to be a key for future rosters.
Geoff Cameron (Starting Box to Box – 8) – Video games always have a way to through a nice twist in there. Cameron has midfield experience and was thrown in the roster as such.
Michael Bradley (Starting Defensive Mid – 6) – Even a video game can't screw this one up.
Dilly Duka – Dilaver is of Albanian descent and currently plays the the Columbus Crew. It seems Klinsmann favored Crew players in this roster. The New Jersey native has 13 caps for the under-20 team and one cap for the under-23 team.
Jermaine Jones – Jones seems to work well as a substitute here.
Osvaldo Alonzo – The Honey Badger defected to the United States in 2007 and was team MVP for Seattle in 2010 and 2010. He covers the pitch but can be a pest. Would he have the same role as Jones?
Brian Span – Span is a 20 year old that plays in Sweden. He was a member of the U17 residency program in Bradenton. However, he was passed over for a Generation Adidas contract from the MLS, which led him to Djugårdens IF. He made his debut with the squad on May 20th of this year.
Luis Silva – The Toronto FC player is a surprise even on a video game. He made 30 appearances this year after being selected 4th overall in the 2012 MLS SuperDaft. He was also arrested for public intoxication while in Houston this year.
Chris Pontius – After his great season with D.C. United Pontius did receive a call up but was too injured to respond. He is definitely on the radar, but has not made an appearance under Klinsmann.
Teal Bunbury – He has four caps for the National Team, but has been left out of recent camps.
Landon Donovan (Starting Right Wing) – Back with Dempsey? That almost seems unreal. We like it though.
Will Bruin (Striker) – He would have to be more assertive than in the MLS Cup, but a little confidence seems to go a long way for Bruin. He would be asked to set up Dempsey in the given set up, but would have a chance to deliver the dancing bear after a goal as well.
So what do you think? The starting line up is intriguing. It seems more attacking than we have grown accustom to under Jurgen Klinsmann.

5-year-old Israel T. Thornton struck, killed by car: 9-1-1 calls released
Thornton victim of hit-and-run on way to school
CLEVELAND - The 9-1-1 calls made after a car struck and killed 5-year-old Cleveland boy Israel T. Thornton were released by police Friday.
Click on the video to the left to listen to the calls.
Thornton was walking to school on Denison Avenue at West 37th with his cousin on Friday when, police say, he was hit just after 7 a.m.
He was transported to MetroHealth Medical Center but died there as a result of his injuries.
"This boy just got hit by a car and the car just sped off," said one man who called at 7:18 a.m. "He's in really bad shape."
Officers said the driver of the vehicle continued eastbound on Denison Avenue. They are looking for a light-colored SUV or caravan that may have damage to the grill or the area below. The license plate number is unknown right now.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the vehicle or the driver of the vehicle, or anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Second District at 216-623-5200 or the Hit Skip Unit at 216-623-5295.
Anonymous information can be given to Crime Stoppers by calling 216-252-7463 or via text message: text TIP657 plus your message to Crimes (274637).
A spokesperson with Breakthrough Schools said Thornton attended Village Prep , a Cleveland charter school. Officials say grief counselors will remain at the school until the end of next week.

If you're like me, you've been wondering what happened to Maryland's leading scoring from last year. Well, he was just signed by a professional team in Greece. After a bit of twitter-stalking and googling, I found an article here:
Ilysiakos is in the "A" Division, Greece's best, so looks like Stogs is getting a good opportunity.
LIke a lot of people, I was perturbed when Stogs departed earlier this year. I was definitely a big fan - he was an entertaining player to watch and had a lot of potential to improve, in my opinion. Still, I think that his departure has proved to be addition by subtraction for this year's squad. While this year's edition of the Terps could undoubtedly have used an outside shooter of Stog's caliber, the upgrade in D and rebounding presented by the addition of Dez Wells (who might not have given Maryland a look if Stogs had stayed) seems to have set the team up for a better overall season. Dez has shown the ability to both pass and score efficiently, and he can guard a wider range of players than Stogs. While Dez had been turnover-prone so far, he seems to be a great fit from a team chemistry standpoint - which might be the biggest benefit from his arrival. He also brings a pit-bull mentality - the sort of fiery intensity that can make the difference in getting the team over the top in a tough game.
Stogs' departure did not occur in isolation...I should mention that the departures of Mychal Parker and Ashton Pankey have cleared the way for the talented fab four freshman class to play immediately, paving the way for team success later this season as well as in the future. And an interesting note: based on Stogs' twitter activity, looks like he's still in frequent contact with Pankey and Dino Gregory.

Steven Tyler, Weird Al, Alice Cooper Sing "Come Together" [VIDEO]
Steven Tyler, Weird Al and Alice Cooper Sing on New Year's Eve
Watch Steven Tyler, Weird Al Yankovic and Alice Cooper sing "Come Together" in this video clip.
Tyler, Cooper and Yankovic joined musical forces for the song at a restaurant in Maui on New Year's Eve.
That would have been a sight to see live, but thankfully there's video proof of this oddball trio giving the Beatles cover a go.
Truth be told, I went through a total Weird Al stage (hey, it was the 80s!) as well as an Aerosmith phase -- and I've enjoyed Tyler's presence on American Idol, though he's a little strange at times.
Cooper, well, I never had an Alice Cooper stage, but I appreciate his cameo in Wayne's World (does that count?).
Read: Steven Tyler Engaged, His Family is Pissed
These legendary guys really bring it together for a fun cover, and you can't deny the musicality they all bring to the table.
How did this magical grouping come to be? Was therre some serendipitous event that brought them all together?
Whatever the case may be, it was a fun moment and would be great to see them sing something else together -- maybe a Weird Al song?
Read: Weird Al and Lady Gaga End Their Feud
Plus, best tweet ever, Weird Al took to Twitter to relay his thoughts on the sing-along: "Every New Year's Eve for the rest of my life is gonna suck."
Bonus points if you spied Mike Myers at the end of the vid!

Ban the BBS
The Bodu Bala Sena has long been suppressing freedom and multiculturalism in Sri Lanka. Their actions, speeches and brutal approaches to other races and creeds in the island are not only undemocratic, but contain elements of Nazism. Under the guise of protecting Buddhism they are refusing others the right to practice and to live within the bounds of non-Buddhist life. Muslim shops are attacked, Halal packaging has been discontinued, Christian churches are attacked, and the Eucharist desecrated. Now the BBS wants to ban women from wearing the Niqab and the Burqa. This is not Buddhist, it is not decent, it is not human. Please sign this petition in solidarity with those who support basic dignity and the freedom to live within one's chosen religious and cultural beliefs.
Ahamadh Shafeek
The BBS is acting as an unofficial Police Department. Even the police department can not take actions against them
it is government sponserd racist out fit which promotes division and hatred among the communities with the blessing of defence ministry

84 Responses to "The Air Arms Twice PCP Air Rifle: Part 1"
That sounds surprisingly light for such a big rifle with double tanks. Not surprised about the weight forward part. Like that myself at times as long as it is not way too much forward and heavy.
I hefted a reproduction of a Remington rolling block buffalo gun one time. No forarm and straight stock. .50×3 1/2 I believe ( 50/120 or .50/140?). Shooting sticks required for sure. I shouldered it and almost fell on my face when I tried to hold it up. That barrel was big and HEAVY.
For some reason I don't like a rifle that has too much hanging out there in front of the stock. Think this one would look better with a few inches cut off.
For some other reason or another, at first glance the first things that came to mind were "drilling" and the double tank super soakers.
An off topic note…doctor visit yesterday (ENT). He is happy….I am happy. Also have no more appointments for 4 months. Only have 4 friggin' doctors.
That's good news TT.
The goal is to stay away from those guys and the hospitals!
Oh, bringer of good health news! I rejoice! Glad to see you're down to Dr. Four Friggens.
I like it, when boths sides are happy. Next time try to shock him (her) and get well twice faster than expected
Not really a matter of getting better.
There is permanent damage, but that is not what he is looking for. New things that are not supposed to be there are the issue. As long as my little friends do not come back we are both happy.
Congratulations sir. Thank you for the wonderful update on your health. I've been shooting my Talon SS on CO2 when plinking and targetting saving the HPA and its pumping for hunting and long range plinking.
Good morning Bruce.
I have been shooting my springers indoors some of the time. Sometimes from indoors to outdoors.
I know I can still pump my Talon tanks because I have topped them off in preperation for when I can get outside and get the Talon with full Condor power zeroed in. I have to see if there is too much velocity to hold adequate accuracy. If not, then back to the 18″ barrel. Then there will be groundhogs to kill.
I can still get to 190 bar, but with some work. I only weigh 145 now. Previously had been around 170-175.
Glad I did not get a Co2 or scuba setup. No place to get a fill around here. Contrary to popular beliefs, there are not always scuba shops, paintball shops, or cooperative fire departments in every neighborhood. As long as I can pump I have everything under control.
A better shooting bench is pretty much the first item on my must have list. Caldwell Stable Table at the top of the list. Could use a few more of some pellets, but they are of the lesser used variety.
BB, Air Arms has come a long way since the humble Shamal (which I wish I still had).
Generally, I think the hi-end airgun companies have to revise their thinking and game plan on how to market these high priced guns in the U.S. $1360 will buy a darn good Savage or CZ hunting rifle/firearm, decent scope and a bag of ammo for the average hunter/shooter. How do we get his attention and $$$ to buy a $1300 airgun? The group on this blog and other aficionados of airguns readily see the value and quality of this rifle, even if they don't (necessarily) accept the pricing but, "Joe Gamo" and other non-hobbyists probably don't or won't? UK manufacturing costs are some of the highest globally, but Air Arms dare not make these guns in China, it would be the end of their QC and level of craftsmanship as we know it.
BTW, this is one beautiful gun and I would love to have one. Gotta go buy my Lottery Ticket now!
I don't know that the folks on this blog will accept the rationale behind the AA Twice especially if it's meant to be used for hunting. Unless you are after prairie dogs or ground squirrels, there's just not a lot of call for hundreds of shots. On most of my squirrel and rabbit hunts, I rarely get a chance to shoot more that 10 pellets at game.
What other feature does it offer to the hunter? I just don't see it's value when for the same price you could buy Marauders in all calibers or a Condor with all barrels plus a few extra air reservoirs — and you wouldn't have to worry too much about getting them dinged up in the woods. Limiting it to .177 really hurts when trying to market to a hunting demographic. It doesn't make sense as a hunting rig given the competition and it's MSRP.
I whole heartedly agree that the new airgunner won't touch this one; especially once they figure out that you have to buy a bunch of equipment to keep it filled. That's probably true of all PCPs though.
Perhaps it might make more sense as a field target gun?
Yup, I hear ya! What I meant by "value" was more to the point of the quality of materials and craftsmanship of the AA guns and how folks on here appreciate these finer guns. The $1365 + $300 of bottle and hoses etc, get's you looking at the south end of $2k pretty quick. As you noted, that's a stable of Discoverys or Marauders or more if you are buying used.
Kinda like the new Jaguar cars at $100k and $75k, why would you when Lexus has similar stuff for $71k and $55k?
Still, AA guns are sweet, no doubt about it (but so are Weatherbys and I don't own one)
I like the Air Arms Twice. My buddy Curt has one. I'm an air arms fan so you need to know that. My first pcp was a AA S410 .22 with thumbhole stock. Still one of my favorites. With my disclaimers out of the way here's what I'll add.
I like that air arms took a different path than most manufactures seeing a higher shot count in their guns. I expected to see an air arms bottle gun when they leaked their info about their new guns shot count. Yes, it looks big but the twice wears the same stock as my S410. When you take the action out of the stock you'll see that the difference is inletting for the twin tubes. The biggest difference is that the twice has a truly ambidextrous stock. This was a big selling point to Curt since he's left handed but his boys aren't. He has always liked my AA S410 but it's not ambidextrous. Air Arms has also moved the twin reservoirs rearward when compared to the AA S410.
The Twice has an amazing shot count. When we shot together Curt kept on shooting while I was back in the garage filling my AA S410. That prompted me to acquire a bottle gun that has a very high shot count since I'd rather be shooting than filling. Still prefer the looks of the Twice and AA S410 to a bottle gun but I'm trying to get over that.
Kevin, how's the noise level on the Twice? Less or more than the S410?
Brian in Idaho,
Same level of report. Same actions, same power adjuster, same trigger, same magazine, etc. etc.
Different stocks and the Twice has a larger air capacity (twin tubes). That's my take. Maybe there are other differences but I haven't noticed them. I haven't been inside my S410 and haven't been inside Curts Twice. Never needed to. My gun, out of the box has been problem free. Curt hasn't had his gun very long but he hasn't had any problems either.
We did take his stock off to adjust the trigger and at the same time I took my S410 out of its stock to compare. The stocks are almost identical in length, width, etc. When shouldering the Twice if you wrap your fingers around the forestock you'll touch the twin tubes and that makes it feel wider. If you just rest the gun in your hand rather than wrap it around the gun the Twice and S410 feel the same.
I like the appearance of the gun – very elegant.
I'm working on building a PCP gun, following a design I found, but I don't like the idea relying on external air-source. If I had a strong enough pump, would it be possible (safe) to just attach it next to or under the air reservoir, in essence making a high-powered multi-stroke?
The FX Independent is a good, production example of a multi-stage pump gun. Very spendy though!
That threaded hole is what I was talking about. Sorry for the miscommunication, as the stock didn't need to come off. There is a very small allen head ajustment down in there. I can't remember what size it was, but I think it was the smallest allen wrench I had ever used.
BB, probably a 2mm hex key like the bolt handle retaining screw down inside the bolt of the TF79.
I followed your link to the AA S400 MPR FT, which translates to :
I don't know much about the different kinds of wood but is this really a Poplar stock model?
I also noted in the "see also" column to its left a rifle that looks closer to what I remember as Poplar.
Are there different kinds of Poplar?
I just looked at the pictures of the S400′s on the Pyramyd site, and it apears to me that the f.t. model has no adjustment port but the one with target sights has one below the loading port, right side.
You have to click on closer look.
Does anybody know I can find written instructions on rebuilding a Hill hand pump? I have the illustrations that Hill publishes, and they are great for where the parts go in the valve bodies once it is apart, but it is lacking on how to get it apart. I may have broken the pump trying, and don't want to go much farther without a better idea of what I'm doing. I have been unable to find anything googling it.
I'm sure it is easy after you've done it once, but I need to get over that hump
Alan in MI
I just heard Cecil Whiteside passed. I never had the chance to meet him but bought several guns from him and had a few very memorable conversations over the phone with him. He was a passionate collector and shared information freely.
The airgun world has lost a fine member.
I think I like everything about this gun, except for the high price. As others have noted, it will get very expensive once you've got everything you need to make it functional. This really adds meaning to the question, can you afford it? Lots of guys will say, I could, if there weren't so many other options, including fire-arms. I've walked into gun stores and held some very nice rifles at under $500, again, including firearms. Aside from price, I think this rifle has everything to love. It's absolutely beautiful! Also, when compared to the S510′s, you're paying an extra $400.00 for maybe twice as many shots. I'm not conviced that this adds much in the way of value to the hunter. My understanding is that hunters don't get enough opportunities to take as many shots as are already provided by something like the S510′s (and others). So this rifle wasn't necessarily designed for the practical hunter. Well, it could be if you consider that being able to take 60 shots is great for practice. What I would like to see are more manufacturers bringing more value added features, and not raising prices. One thing that I would love to see, even in a hunting rifle, is a Anschutz-like utility rail so that a sling could be used for either the kneeling or prone position. Just a personal preference, but one that would definitely motivate me to buy, and not just admire, which is what a lot of these pricey guns limit themselves to. Just my opinion.
I have an Air Force PCP pump that has worked great for the first few months then stated leaking. I tried taking the fittings off and resealing them with again with Teflon tape. To no avail, it still leaks. I only use it to fill my mrod and use the procedures you described in one of your post on hand pumps. I am beginning to think that it is leaking around the base of the shaft.
Squirt some windex or otherwise soapy water around the joints and see where it bubbles.
Also have had crud in the bleed valve that makes it leak.
I have not taken the release valve off yet, I will try that and give it a good cleaning.
English blokes can't own this one? Bloody hell!
That's like the Jack Daniels distillery. It's in a dry county.
Slinging Lead,
Jack Daniels distillery in a dry county. That's almost funny. The air-gun nationals use to be held in Rogers Arkansas, also a dry country. The local teenager's would just drive into the next state and buy their liquor. Worse than that, they would get high on anything that they could get their hands on, usually in aerosol form. There were a lot of problems with that area, some of which I would not mention here. Prior to that, I had never even heard of a "dry county". We stopped competing in that tournament, even though I always won at least one of our regional championships (air rifle or air pistol). My coaches decided that it just wasn't worth it.
I meant county, not country. Good lord! Jesus would be arrested for making wine in such a country!
Wow. Sure a lot of discussion about the price of the Air Arms Twice.
Let's not overlook the dollar vs. euro component when evaluating price.
I don't own a Twice and will not buy a Twice but here's why I think it's worth it.
Air Arms are known for "out of the box" accuracy, quality and reliability. You can't say that about the other guns (like marauders) that some are comparing. Someone said condor with 4 barrels. I've never owned a condor or talon. I personally wouldn't compare a condor or talon to an air arms gun since personally I'm not a fan of "black" guns and the rear bottle for a consistent cheek weld never appealed to me. I know there is a cult like following for these guns and the modular platform that is easy to adapt to almost unlimited configurations (like a ruger 10/22) is intriguing.
Whether or not you're willing to spend money on quality is personal in my experience. I can tell you the second hand buyers recognize and pay for quality and the resale on air arms guns in general is superior to the others that were mentioned.
In my view the Twice was introduced primarily because of shot count. Obviously the new Italian? stock design helps with this new gun introduction. Do hunters need this high shot count? Some do. I do. I also like the high shot count when plinking and target shooting since I like to shoot rather than fill a gun.
When considering shot count, quality, adjustable power, weight, trigger adjustability, multi-shot capability and accuracy the comparisons I would make would be the daystate, theoben and FX lines. Specifically, airwolf, rapid and royale. If you make these comparisons you'll probably agree that the Twice is a bargain price.
My two cents.
I hate being "that guy" but………..
back in January you promised a report on your new HW 55 CM (Custom Match). Is it in the queue yet?
Still funny to me that you feared that you would run out of airgun related topics to keep a blog running.
Though it is possible there have been minor design changes (my wood is shaped a little different than the S400 MPR FT you have), I can still see the threaded hole in the picture for part three. It is on the right side of the rifle, almost straight down from the leading edge of the loading port, but near the rear of the air reservoir, and on level with it. I can't see the allen head screw in there either, but it is there. I just turned it back and forth again with a allen wrench.
To the poster that thinks it's a 200S, it absolutely is not. I'm 100% sure about that. LOL.
I'm that poster, I'm sorry. Looks like you have a great rifle there.
Sorry for any confusion. Thanks.
It has been quite some time since I've looked at the blog/forum. Been a little busy and a little out of sorts, healthwise. Came across this short quote and felt that it fit this blog/forum as to what we are here for:
"Wisdom begins in wonder."
Hey RikiB, hope all is well (better?) with you?
What's new with airguns and related stuff at your place?
No results from medical tests, more coming this week.
Airguns, well I only have one, a modified 2240. Funny thing is it has disappeared lately. Wife says she did not hide it, . I've been spending a lot of time helping my dad out with the new place they bought so haven't done much around our place. Pretty much finished at mum and dad's, they will be heading back north next week. Once I start doing things around here I'm sure my gun will magically appear again Maybe I need to secretly order another and keep it hidden
This quote is for you B.B. and everything you give to us:
"A hero is born among a hundred, a wise man is found among a thousand, but an accomplished one might not be found even among a hundred thousand men."
You are an accomplished ONE! Thanks for all you bring to us! Edith, you're included in this!
Good one Rick!
Thanks SL,
Thought the comment had gone unnoticed. They as well as others are what keeps this going!

@Dig: I guess it´s all about money and stuff like that, and thats why there not are bands in same genre who tours together. The people in the suits dont give a damn about the genre is the exactly same, as long they make big money. But of course "rock/metal bands" open for "rock/metal bands", and that mean that a band like Crooked X can open for Kiss, and that happend two years ago... Eeew!!
People who like bands like Motley, WASP, Ratt, dont know were to look after new bands in the same genre. People even dont know that it's exist new bands in the same genre!!! Just check out bands like Crashdiet, Sister, Jailbait, Loud ´n Nasty, Redlight Attraction, Peep Show (not Swedish), and there are tons of more of them here in Sweden. Maybe bands dont have to tour together, cause thats diffucult to make that happen, but maybe some sort of internet based site.. advertising.. publicity.. anything!! If older bands can help the younger, everyone will earn on it in the end.
I cant solve the "problems", I can only identify them in a small way. I dont even know how the music business works...

4. How would I most effectively post an E.Q. in a classroom where I am teaching multiple grade levels, or where I travel? Additionally, explain one more time, the difference between an E.Q., an L.E.Q. and a Key Question.
When teaching multiple subjects, you most likely will want to designate a specific place within the classroom to post the E.Q. for each subject. In that way, the students will always know precisely where to look for the question.

Kamala Beach

Kamala Beach
Just north of the lights and noise of Patong lies Kamala Beach, a quieter stretch of sand with more relaxed feel. This well-enclosed bay and fishing village surrounded by forested hills is one of the most beautiful places in Phuket. With its quieter pace, over the last few years, Kamala has become a favorite spot for retirees and other longer-term visitors staying in small hotels, villas and apartment rentals nestled around the village. On the headland to the south, are a number of luxury villa developments, with great views of Kamala Bay and beyond along its winding road. Whilst Kamala doesn't attract tourists in the same numbers as other places it has a certain niche, those who do come say 'we like it just the way it is, don't tell anyone as they'll all come and spoil it'.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

Firewire iPod Dock
Feb 7, 2007, 07:50 PM
I just bought a dock for my 5.5 Gen. iPod thinking that I could use firewire with it, Is there any way I can still use firewire to Sync my iPod?:o
Feb 7, 2007, 07:58 PM
I'm interested in this as well, as I only have USB 1.1 and Firewire would be much easier to use
Feb 7, 2007, 08:28 PM
Nope... the 5G ipods don't have the necessary chipset to sync over firewire. You can however charge using a firewire cable.
Feb 7, 2007, 09:18 PM
Lack of a FireWire chipset is the reason the 5G iPod is that thin.
Feb 7, 2007, 09:20 PM
iPod docks aren't port specific. You just have to buy a usb dock cable.
And no, unfortunately 5G iPods and nanos are USB only. USB 1.1 works though, even if it's DAMN slow.

Lack of a FireWire chipset is the reason the 5G iPod is that thin.
Most of the combo FW/USB bridges are not much bigger ...
However, in the number of units the iPod is selling -- the cost of a USB only solution is likely a significant savings.
Really a moot point since USB2 is something all current PCs and Mac have.
But it is another kick in the ass for the lagards to upgrade.

We know the corporations whose legal staff had to grope about for citations as to why ownership of assest - except real estate - improved their stock price, but property tax bill, paid out some over time bucks that count in to factoring golden paracutes which crimped the bottom line with investors..............but enhanced the lament for bail assistance.

Is everyone as excited as I am for 8 PM Eastern Time to arrive? Here lately I've been breathing, eating, drinking, and sleeping everything that is Mile High, and it got me thinking about who could be in next years harvest of Broncos. So, without boring you anymore.... allow me to give you my first mock of the year. For those of you who detest mocks this early.... sorry.... my kids are driving me nuts and I'm bored. All work and no play makes Jeremy a dull boy. Don't just look at the pick.... look over the alternates as well. I mainly want to see who's going to possibly be available when we're on the clock.
Let's jump into it!Round 1, Pick 32:
Lamar Miller - RB, Miami Hurricanes (5-11 ~ 212 lbs.)
I don't think anyone can argue this won't be the pick. We all know how much John Fox loves his multi-back rotation, and in Carolina, he rolled with two feature backs. McGahee could then move to the grinder / closer role, and Miller could be our big play, homerun threat. What's not to love about Backs with decent size and speed to boot. A Mike Backer is a distinct possibility here, and I believe we have the locker room / coaching staff to get the most out of Burfict. Would it shock any of you, given Fox's past, that a RB or MLB could be the pick here?
Alternates (Mark Barron, SS, Alabama ~ Devon Still, DE/DT, Penn St. ~ Vontaze Burfict, MLB, Arizona St. ~ Alfonso Dennard, CB, Nebraska)
Round 2, Pick 64:
Jerel Worthy - DT, Michigan St. Spartans (6-3 ~ 305 lbs.)
I know a lot of you want a CB here (or earlier), but I think we can get by next year with Champ/Goodman/Harris, a healthy Syd'Quan Thompson & Cassius Vaughn, then a free agent / late rounder. Jerel Worthy is the pick here because he can play the run and pass well. This pick would complete our D-Line (assuming either Ayers, Beal, or a draft pick flashes something and offers us a 3rd pass rush option). Worthy could come at them from the gut (where Brady gets confused) - flushing them into the awaiting arms of VonDoom, or vise versa. This is a win-win. Have you guys noticed some of the runs up the middle we've been giving up? That... has to... stop!!! We can't rely on Dawk as much anymore, sadly but inevitably.
Alternates (Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina ~ Tommy Streeter, WR, Miami ~ Alameda Ta'amu, DT, Washington ~ Ryan Miller, OG, Colorado).
Round 3, Pick 96:
Jared Crick - DT/DE, Nebraska Cornhuskers (6-6, 285 lbs.)
I would die and go to hog heaven if we could pick Crick here. He missed the majority of this year to a torn pec, so he will fall some, and if he does, there's no way EFX could pass with their philosophy of best player available. Crick can play the run.... will gain weight in the pros.... and can relentlessy rush the passer. I'm sorry if any of you think I'm going too D-Line heavy, but that's how I've been taught a defense should be built.... from the inside out. Big men early and often. We have the edge players on D to contend with anyone, now let's solidify the interior. I think it's a must that we come away from this draft with a DT and a MLB in pocket.
Alternates (Bruce Irvin, DE/Situational Pass Rusher, West Virginia ~ Bernard Pierce, RB, Temple ~ Winston Guy, SS, Kentucky ~ Marvin McNutt, WR, Iowa)
Well, that's it.... that's all. Tell me what you think. Oh, and just one more thing.... GO BRONCOS!!!
