About the Representation
Role of the Permanent Representation
The Permanent Representation in Brussels serves as the primary liaison between Czech civil administration and EU institutions. The diplomats at the Permanent Representation negotiate at the meetings of 150 working groups. Over 2,000 meetings take place over each six-month period. In cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Office of the Government and other ministries, the Permanent Representation prepares over 30 formal Councils of Ministers and several European Councils each semester. European Councils, ie. summits of the EU heads of states and governments, determine the Union's strategic development.
The Permanent Representatives Committee to the EU (comprising COREPER II and COREPER I) prepare all Councils of Ministers. The former is concerned with political and financial issues and foreign affairs; the Ambassador to the EU, Martin Povejšil, takes part in the sessions of this committee. The latter committee concerns economic and social issues. Deputy Permanent Representative Jakub Dürr takes part in its meetings. The third key committee is the Political and Security Committee (COPS) where the Czech Republic is represented by Ambassador David Konecký.

Are you interested in creating an indoor herb garden but need some ideas and help? You are not alone as many people are joining the trend of using local ingredient by making mini herb gardens.
There are many benefits to having your own container herb garden.
First, your herbs will be very fresh. Store purchased herbs are typically not very fresh for two reasons: the time from farm to store can be several days & we often shop weekly so their herbs and vegetables sit in our refrigerator for several more days.
Another benefit of a herb garden is saving money. A small bunch of basil at my local Trader Joe's costs $2.49. While TJ's is typically a good value grocer, the bunch is usually bigger than I need so just 2 bunches would more than pay for a small basil plant from Home Depot which can last months.
A final benefit is convenience. Herbs are often a great finishing touch to a dinner plate but how often do we realize we need herbs and have to return to the store. A small indoor herb garden is always just a few feet away from the chef.
Now that we know the benefits of an herb garden, we plan and select our herbs for our container. My #1 tip is simple. Make it personal. Only select herbs that you want to use for cooking and enjoy the unique fragrance. Beyond that here are a few personal favorite of mine and why.
Basil – A great herb for Italian food. Basil plants can be harvested a leaf at a time which allows a single plant to support a family kitchen for several months.
Rosemary – A woody, fragrant perennial that has evergreen like stems. You can harvest just a few needles or an entire sprig for a roast. Rosemary is extremely durable, hardy, and long lasting. While I have an indoor rosemary plant for the Chicago winters, I also have a 3 year old rosemary plant in my garden which survives the winter and provides great summer rosemary.
Thyme – Is another fragrant herb that can not only be used in a variety of culinary dishes but can also be used to make tea. Studies have shown benefits of substituting one cup of thyme tea for coffee each day.
Mint – I'm including this for the mixologist. Mint is a great herb for cocktails. The mint leaves are muddled and mixed into the drink. The Mojito and Mint Julep are the most popular examples.
So now that we have our herbs picked out we need to get a container herb garden which you have 2 options: Make or Buy.
I've made cheap home made herb gardens and while they are effect, I find them to be a bit ugly and an eye sore in the kitchen. I do continue to experiment with them and have recently started to make hydroponic systems which are a fun and effective way to grow a lot of herbs in a small space. But I keep those things out of the kitchen:)!
Assuming you want a simple and attractive herb garden, I would recommend the AeroGarden. They come in several colors and sizes. I purchased the black 3 pod system over a year ago and have had great success. I currently have basil, thyme, and oregano growing.
Based on my personal experience I would say there are 4 pros:
- Easy to use. A light even flashes when you need to water the herbs.
- The kit has 'pods' that makes planting a snap.
- Attractive. I always receive complements of the unit in my kitchen.
- It has a grow light so you can also place it 'out of the way' in a closet if you don't want anyone to see your secret herb garden.
The only con I have found is that I do find myself spending a lot of time tending my garden. This is because I have really gotten into it and try to make mine perfect. However most people can set and almost complete forget it. Click here to see it on Amazon.

– Here is the WWE Battleground PPV Poster that features Bray Wyatt is doing his creepy stance. July 20, 2014 from Tampa, Florida. Usually posters do not mean anything and I believe in this case, it's the point. Bray is a key feature in the WWE and I believe this is the second poster he is on. The first was for Survivor Series in 2013. – CM Punk made a bet the mascot of the LA Kings and it was if the Blackhawsk lost, then he would wear an LA Kings Jersey in front of the United Center: Rumors are rumors, but Punk has started using Twitter again and maybe he has cut ties with WWE officially. I have no clue, either way it's good for Punk to start letting loose a bit and still talk with his fans. For all the latest on WWE and Payback PPV, stick with Daily DDT. We will be bring you the very latest in the rumors and spoilers of the WWE. As well as giving you the very best in columns and TV reports. Why go to several Websites to get your fix when you can refresh your page on Daily DDT to get everything in one place. It's Monday and you know what that means, Monday Night Raw is tonight.

MPD, community group team up to build relationships with young adults
Law enforcement officers and a local community group are teaming up to improve relationships with the area's young adults.
Today Not Tomorrow and the Madison Police Department plan to use social media and other tools to educate Madison's 16- to 29-year-olds on their rights and responsibilities.
Interim Police Chief Randy Gaber said the program will increase communication and open doors.
"I'm not just an officer anymore, I'm Randy. You're just not an officer anymore, you're not just someone who lives in the neighborhood, you get to a first-name basis, and once those relationships are established, we see things from each other's perspective," Gaber said.
The new partnership is called The Peacemakers. The group plans to target four neighborhoods initially and hopes to expand.

String Garland
String a 30-inch piece of monofilament onto the sewing needle. Start with the sequin ball by threading the monofilament through a top section of it. Then, thread on some color sequins and snowflakes in a random pattern. Tip: Keep a few inches of monofilament between each decoration, it will help the garland look more natural when you're done.
Leave 5 inches of monofilament at the end of the garland for hanging.

Both Julius Randle and Jabari Parker seem very similar in size. Randle is listed at 1″ taller, while Parker has a 1″ longer wingspan. Much has been said of Randle's wingspan, saying he won't be an effective NBA player because 6'11" is considered too short. Yet, Jabari Parker has a 7′ wingspan and gets a pass. The biggest tell is really in standing reach. Julius Randle has a standing reach of 8'9.5″, while Jabari Parker has a standing reach of 8'8″. Randle has an equivalent reach of both power forwards and wing players; exactly the same as Jon Leuer, Jared Sullinger, Cody Zeller, Troy Murphy, Carmelo Anthony, and Andre Iguodala. Jabari Parker has an equivalent reach to Gerald Green, Shawne Williams, Tyreke Evans, and Duke teammate Rodney Hood, who has a wingspan of just 6'8″.
What does this mean? While Randle has the standing reach on the lower end of power forward prospects, it didn't stop guys from Cody Zeller getting drafted in the lottery, or Troy Murphy averaging double-doubles earilier in his career. Jabari Parker, however, has a reach that is equal to small forwards and shooting guards, which may give him trouble against opposition with tremendous standing reaches at power forward. Great standing reach for a power forward starts at 9′, but then again, we are just talking about 1-1/2″ of standing reach. Some may consider this negligible. Others may think this is the difference between getting a rebound and giving up a rebound, winning or losing a 50/50 ball, or getting a shot blocked versus scoring over a defender.

|VBF Teams
The goal of Veteran's Best Friend is to provide the necessary training so that a dog can be the Veterans' Psychiatric Service Dog and help place appropriate dogs with a Veteran when needed to accomplish this. We view this goal as a win-win for both the dog and Veteran involved. Not only does such a union benefit the dog and Veteran, but it also benefits the community by helping the Veteran. Many Veterans that suffer from psychological conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder find daily activities very challenging, tasks like going to the store or even work can disable them.
For a long time the answer has been medications,
but such treatments can be further limiting, have undesired side-effects and
long-term use can cause health issues for the Veteran. The use and support
of a Psychiatric Service Dog is as natural as it can get, with the hopes of reducing the
medications used and helping the Veteran regain their freedom…by having the
confidence to go out in public settings with their canine companion.

Veteran's Best Friend group training is held at

With aircraft and ground vehicles, as well as infantry combat, the battles are larger and more intense than ever before.Key Features: THREE EMPIRES: Players will have their choice to join three different empires: Terran Republic – Like a militaristic government, the Terran Republic uses its Imperial authoritarian might to impel humanity to peaceful coexistence through any means necessary. New Conglomerate – A loosely connected group of rebel factions and idealistic freedom fighters, the New Conglomerate fight against the hegemony of the Terran Republic and the fanatical alien influence of the Vanu Sovereignty. Vanu Sovereignty – A technocratic Empire that believes humanity can only evolve by rediscovering and tapping into the lost technology of an ancient alien race. MASSIVE WARFARE: Battles take place not between dozens of troops, but thousands; with air and ground vehicles slugging it out alongside squads of troops. Whether in open fields, tightly-packed urban centers or enormous structures, victory requires strategic teamwork and a quick trigger finger to survive the massive battles.BATTLE FOR TERRITORIES & RESOURCES: The core gameplay of PlanetSide 2 is about holding key territories and controlling resources. Each battleground holds valuable resources and key positions, and the Empire that can conquer (and manage to hold) these territories are rewarded with fuel bonuses, ammo bonuses, tech bonuses, and more.PERSISTENCE: In PlanetSide 2 battles last for days or even weeks, and finally taking control of the base means it's yours until someone can take it back. Working strategically as a team to capture key tactical positions such as power plants and ammo depots have long-lasting effects that can shift the tide of battle.METAGAME: Large scale, persistent and coordinated effort required by hundreds of players working together to accomplish continental domination.ENORMOUS MAPS: PlanetSide 2 features incredible continent maps with dozens of square kilometers of seamless gameplay space; every inch of which is hand-crafted, contestable space. With the new territorial control meta-game, landmass has intrinsic value.CLASS-BASED COMBAT: Players are able to build their soldier to match their play-style, or to match the needs of their squad, outfit or Empire. With 6 distinct classes, each combat role, vehicle and weapon has extensive certification skill trees. These cert trees allow players to grow characters laterally, unlocking weapons, attachments, equipment, specialized skills, and more.OUTFIT TEAMWORK: Outfits (guilds) have access to unique customizations– allowing outfits to have their own identity, reputation and role in the ongoing war.VEHICLES & WEAPONS: Players are able to access a huge array of weapons and vehicles which can be extensively customized for player preference or purposed with unique attachments and add-ons earned in game to fit each player's style.BUSINESS MODEL: PlanetSide 2 is Free-To-Play with an additional in-game RMT marketplace with Items that range from cosmetic camouflage patterns and armor paint jobs, to things like XP accelerators. Items that affect gameplay, such as weapon side-grades will be purchasable via resources earned in-game through gameplay and achievements.VOICE INTEGRATION: Players are able to communicate with their squads both through keyboard and voice chat. System Requirements: Supported OS: Windows XP Windows Vista Windows 7 Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 or higher / AMD Phenom II X2 or higher RAM: 4 GB Hard Disk: 15 GB Video Card: nVidia GeForce 8600 series or higher / AMD or ATI 4850 series or higher CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS ON THIS SITE COMES FROM AMAZON SERVICES LLC.

Men are better than women. Or rather, men do less harm than women., because thats the real point, its the massive amount of harm women do thats the problem.
What's next for Marissa? We will have to wait until January to see what the courts say, but it is up to all who care about social justice and equality to have our say in the streets until then. Let's get out there, organize protests, rallies in solidarity for Marissa and to educate the public on this injustice. SPREAD THE WORD and GET INVOLVED!
What now? We carry on! We've got a lot to do to free Marissa Alexander. She has a re-trial coming up in March that will cost $250,000!

We can do this! We need individual donations and organized community fundraisers. DONATE NOW!
AnnArchist, a former moderator of the Men's Rights subreddit (and also the Beating Women subreddit), is seen here embracing some of that old time
religionHolocaust apologia.
Ah yes, it is completely plausible and fascinating that Auschwitz was a vacation resort where Jews could be beer and cigarettes (and ALL the things).
Of course, the best way to follow up the bombshell that Auschwitz had a soccer team and library for the prisoners is pointing out that:
…Muslims have the Koran in Gitmo.
It's worth noting that AnnArchist is likely still a moderator of the Men's Rights subreddit; he, just like the other former moderators, has just switched to an alternate account in a (futile) attempt to avoid embarrassing and offensive connections to his views and the men's rights movement in general.
What's that word men's rights activists gleefully call feminists? Oh right.
Funny that.
A Voice For Men, one of the most prominent men's rights websites out there, advocates for women who are being sexually harassed to "envision the person talking to [them] as human" and to thank them.
The new civil rights movement has truly arrived.

Petition: http://lakota.cc/1aaAnns
"Classypedobear", a men's rights activist, has some, uh, arguments against the Bechdel test and why some movie theaters in Sweden should not care about diversity in media representation for women:
This test is BS, simply. I think what they are trying to accomplish is noble but that is where the good stops.
Why do Women need to talk to each other ? I don't get it. I have plenty of female friends who get along better with males. If two women hav a conversation about their kitten or their baby ? I think it's even worse.
Bad idea overall
"Why do women need to talk to each other ?" indeed.
The best part? It received almost 40 upvotes from the Men's Rights subreddit.
But wait, don't men's rights activists always talk about how much they care about child sexual abuse? Why is someone named "Classypedobear" even allowed to post in such a supposedly caring community, let alone get 40 upvotes for a contribution to that community? Isn't this just contributing to the false stereotype that men aren't to be trusted around children?
Why am I asking so many questions I know I'll never receive a satisfying answer for from a hate group?
her talk was titled "With My Mind Set on Freedom: Black Feminism, Intersectionality and Social Justice" and it was wonderful. She discussed current events such as Trayvon Martin, the Obama Presidency, the ways social media has grown as a tool of activism among youth and the importance of intergenerational relationships and lessons.
i was lucky enough to co-facilitate a graduate workshop with her and two other grad students. i think the body of the talk and the workshop will be separate posts.
But at the end of the talk, their was a question and answer section. I had decided to ask her a similar question I asked Kimberle Crenshaw. How do you feel about the ways white feminists have taken your work on intersectionality as a feminist way to be more inclusive while erasing the creations as part of a Black feminist tradition and without a dedication to Black women's lives in any way?
She gave an anecdote. She asked if the House of Blues was still in Cambridge or Boston. We said yes. Recently I was at a Bootsy Collins show there, maybe a year ago. So yes, it was there. I was so suprised when I arrived. And she elaborated on why with her anecdote.
She said what has become of her work on intersectionality and Crenshaw's as well is what has been done to Blues, Jazz and Rock. When I went to the Bootsy Collins show I was actually appalled at how WHITE the audience was. these are NOT true Bootsy fans or lovers. but once whiteness gets their grasp on something they love that Black people have created, they have to make it more and more inaccessible to Black people while also whitening it to be no longer noticeable as a Black creation.
what i love about her response is that she didn't use the word appropriation once. she simply said, over the years, Blues and Jazz has become almost unrecognizable. white men who wanted that feel, that experience, went on to imitate the sounds and creations without actually having the background experience. structurally, some of these things end up similar. however, the heart and soul of the creation is gone and the creators have been erased. when Black fans can't go see Bootsy Collins at the House of Blues because of the cost or white men are continually praised as the creators and best artists in Blues, Jazz and Rock n Roll, the complete erasure and appropriation of that creation has taken place.
this is what White Feminism has done to intersectionality. White Feminism has no commitment to Black women. to our lives, our narratives, our concerns or our histories. Patricia Hill Collins had and has a complete and total commitment to Black women. her work is based on a long standing oral and academic tradition of remembering and honoring those who came before her. who helped to shape these ideas. and most importantly, they center the Black womans experience in all of it.
intersectionality is meant as a bottom up approach, not a top down approach. those with power cannot be "intersectional". you are also not living intersectional experiences. intersectionality was always about exposing the ways Black women are caught up in multiple systems of oppression, namely race, gender and class, but often many more. it is meant to help Black women understand their experiences in a white supremacist patriarchal culture like the U.S. or much of Western nations that have applied this model onto most cultures from the outside. most importantly, it is meant to help Black women see the ways their experiences are connected to one another and not a product of self-deficiency but structural real systems that have cultural and economic benefits for ruling/dominant classes.
understanding Black women live intersectional experiences gives us insight into the ways race, gender and class, heterosexism and more all work together in ways that restrict Black womens access to resources. and access to resources is what is really one of the most important things needed in Black women's lives. which white feminism is not committed to in any way. when Black women learn more about classism, sexism, racism, heterosexism and more (such as transmisogyny, islamophobia, convicted felon status, etc) and how they work, we learn more about how we can define ourselves without those systems imposing our identities onto us. we can also learn more about how to combat and navigate these systems.
ultimately, Patricia Hill Collins work is very revolutionary and radical for Black women. it is not about how to full-scale change the world or to tear the system down. it is about exposing historical oppression and cultural beliefs, our position as Black American women living in a nation birthed from slavery and genocide, to allow Black women tools to define themselves, to see a long term history of scholarly and community work, to understand more about one another and ourselves, to push against these systems and to push more Black women to make their own discoveries that will make living as a Black woman in these societies easier, more manageable and more accessible. while she does not address or make specific policy suggestions, she is working to empower and educate Black women about ourselves and our ancestors and how WE CAN DO THESE THINGS.
when you're white saying your an intersectional feminist, you are wrong. you are the white boy singing sad songs to a blues twang claiming to be a Blues artist. you are the miley who wears black womens bodies and perceived sexualities as fun identities to put on and off, without living within those experiences always and forever. it is erasure, it is warping, it is the continual narrative of whiteness as a dominant force, in opposing the creators and destroying the creators while then attempting to re-create those creations with whiteness firmly installed inside of it. which is false, warped, fake and without heart and soul. it is a lifeless imitation. and mostly, it isn't REAL.
When you're a straight white men's rights activist, it makes sense that the civil rights issue of your time is creepshaming.

Bravo! The Men's Rights movement finally gets some major press by way of The Daily Beast…Except it's the sort of press that is completely accurate in portraying the movement's horrifying misogyny and pathetic lack of actual advocacy for men who need help.

Paul Elam, the author of the above quote and one of the major voices of the men's rights activism movement, will be featured on 20/20 today (Friday, October 18) at 10pm Eastern on ABC.
Watch it! Or don't. Just remember that men's rights has nothing to do with advocating for men and everything to do with heartless misogyny and advocating violence against women (and anyone else who is seen as contributing to a culture where men are brutally oppressed by a feminist shadow conspiracy).

Support Jack Grisham's run for Governor of California!
"Yes, I have spent most of my life as a musician and a laborer, and I have, mostly in my younger years, not always lived a puritan lifestyle. I've spent a lot of time channeling my anger and my frustrations more often into songs than directly on the social crisis I witnessed around me.
However, I have always maintained a firm sense of my own strength and independence. I follow my own path and have always found my way through the tough times and I've assisted many others in doing the same.
Now it seems that my birthplace of California is in the midst of one of the toughest times in its one hundred and fifty-three years of statehood. As an American and as a Californian, I feel that compelled to stand up for what I believe in and to offer my ideas to bring hope and sanity back to our state government, and more importantly to the lives of Californians."

Nuclear scans use radioactive substances to see structures and functions inside your body. They use a special camera that detects radioactivity.
Before the test, you receive a small amount of radioactive material. You may get it as an injection. Sometimes you swallow it or inhale it. Then you lie still on a table while the camera makes images. Most scans take 20 to 45 minutes.
Nuclear scans can help doctors diagnose many conditions, including cancers, injuries, and infections. They can also show how organs like your heart and lungs are working.

Robert Mark Robison, 74, died Friday, Feb, 25, 2011 in Boise.
He was born Dec. 22, 1936, in Richfield, Utah, to Mark Asa Robison and DeNiese Sayer.
A JehovahŌĆÖs Witness since his youth, he was an active member until his death.
Bob grew up in Blackfoot and married Joyce Maree Gray on June 9, 1958. They had four children; Marty Mark, Kirk Robert, Michael Alexander and Molinda Maree. Bob worked in the roofing business. They lived 10 years in Hailey and built a unique, beautiful log home near the Wood River. Next, they lived in Alaska five years before moving back to Boise.
BLACKFOOT ŌĆö Jury pre-qualification began Tuesday in the second trial involving a former Blackfoot High School athlete, with 11 jurors passed for cause after the first day of voir dire.

Eye on hosted video: The top 10 myths of hosted video
Think it's unsafe or not for you? Think again
I've spoken with some of our largest integrator partners about this myth and they are quick to remind me that an analog-based system will also be "down" when the DVR is being serviced. They'll go on to tell servicing horror stories of it taking days or even weeks to repair or replace a DVR and during that entire time, no video is being recorded.
One final thing to keep in mind: Without power, NO video surveillance system will operate. But if the end-user deploys an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in an IT-based system, they will have an easy back-up power solution for critical applications, which includes powering the cameras via PoE.
MYTH #8: Hosted video works well for residential applications, but not for professional customers
While TV commercials for home surveillance service are being shown more and more, this is by no means the target market for hosted video (although it might be an interesting market in the future). Network video has seen tremendous success in major camera installations, historically when the camera count exceeds 32. But there's a significant commercial market-gas stations, convenient stores, restaurants and boutiques-who have only four to 10 cameras per site and are currently using analog technology.
Not only is hosted video a perfect solution for this professional customer, it's an even better solution for the customer who owns multiple sites and needs to monitor all of his or her properties at once. Also, aside from pure security purposes, hosted video can be an asset for major franchises who want to ensure operational and marketing efficiencies, such as confirming remotely that end-cap displays are properly installed, seasonal decorations are taken down, or that deliveries are being made on time. Hosted video can also be used in tandem with in-house surveillance systems. More on this in MYTH #10.
MYTH #9: Hosted video using IP technology will be too costly for small sites since network cameras are so expensive
IP cameras are certainly more expensive than their analog counterparts as they come with greater video quality and functionality. But using network-based technology means that other system component costs will be lower; i.e. NAS vs. DVR, Cloud Storage vs. DVR, PoE vs. Coax plus DC power, installation by the integrator only vs. hiring a qualified electrician, etc. In other words, while the network camera is more expensive, the other costs that come along with analog in the total solution can offset the difference in camera prices.
Most service providers will roll the cost of the camera and any other hardware into the monthly fee with hosted video. This provides the end-user with newer technology, better quality, increased functionality and a more scalable system for a fixed rate that can be reported as an operational expense and not tie up scarce capital like a DVR-based solution.
Taking these factors into consideration, an IP-based hosted video solution in some cases can turn out to be a lower capital expenditure than installing an analog solution for small camera count systems. As storage, compression and bandwidth technologies continue to improve following Moore's Law, this cost discrepancy will only continue to move in favor of IP.
MYTH #10: There is no need to consider hosted video on a large, proprietary system because the technology is only a fit for small camera count systems
While a lower camera count customer is the sweet spot for hosted video, some end-users are using hosted video in tandem with their in-house surveillance system in two ways. First, some have identified "critical cameras" in their systems that cannot lose recording under any circumstances and therefore must have redundant storage in the cloud. These cameras might be deemed critical due to internal policies or compliance issues. By leveraging hosted video and storing the data in the cloud, the video evidence will be safe off-site or in the user's Private Cloud if their internal systems go down or if the DVR/NAS is stolen or damaged.
Second, organizations with large in-house systems can use hosted video to watch the watchers. Security staff or other employees who have access to the control center or recording equipment will not be able to manipulate, delete or accidentally lose video if it's protected by your hosting provider. But remember, if you decide to leverage hosted video as part of a larger proprietary system, there should only be a few cameras onsite running in the cloud to get the most out of the technology.

I shoot .308s in my 1961 ishapore smle 2A in 7.62x51 nato all well is well n i didnt even think twice bout it cause there isnt a difference only brass is thicker in nato cartridges. But urs is older so be careful or grab a .308 n do the flinch look away fire at the target shot? Perhaps haha no just kiddin dont good luck nice rifle mister
Be careful who's toes you step on today....'cause they could be connected to the a** you need to kiss tomorrow.
OK, You win. You can absolutely safely shoot any and all .308 ammo out of any rifle with a 7.62 X 51 chamber! I now see it is true because some guy wrote a short article that is posted on the internet.
My God man! You do realize there are many variables to consider and telling someone to do something like this is, at best, irresponsible? I guess the liability laws in Newfoundland are more closely akin to European liability laws. Giving such information in the USA is ridiculously stupid. This site is based in the USA so the laws of the USA are the only ones that really matter. The owner of the site trusts me to help defray some of his liability from such ridiculous statements.
The rifle in question is nearly 100 years old and was never intended for .308 pressures. The barrel/chamber does not matter as much as the receiver/bolt. You can recut the chamber to .30-06 and single load the ammo, but the receiver was not designed to handle the stresses the .30-06 will apply. Just because you can, does not mean it is safe.
Please do not post such information in the future. It is irresponsible.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire.
"Robo is right" Fuzzball
Dave, if you have a link showing where SAAMI has approved firing .308 Wimchester in a rifle chambered for 7.62 NATO, could you please share that with me?
Interchange indicates that it would go either way, and it does not (in my experience) Milspec in a .308, yes. .308 in a Milspec, no.
Please see attached- 7.62x51mm NATO or 308 Winchester? What's the Difference?
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
This thread has all the links and discussion.Can you shoot .308 in a 7.62 x 51 and vice versa? - WeTheArmed.com As a matter of fact all of the old mod 95 Chileans are sold at many different retailers here in Canada as .308. The main problem is people get hung up on CUP and PSI. They are not Interchangeable as measuring standards. The SAAMI interchange list is here. http://www.saami.org/specifications_and_information/publications/download/SAAMI_ITEM_211-Unsafe_Arms_and_Ammunition_Combinations.pdfhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.62%C3%9751mm_NATOhttp://www.shop.tradeexcanada.com/content/chilean-1895-mauser
You can shoot what you like. I will shoot commercial 308 Win in a 7.62 marked bolt rifle any day.
Dave- the wiki article stated that it was safe to shoot 7.62x51 in a .308 Winchester chamber. It did not say safe to shoot .308 Winchester in a NATO chamber. Re: the ad- I have seen a ton of Ishapores up for sale, advertised as .308, and they are not.
If you run across the SAAMI reference that shows a 360 interchange is safe, I would really like to have it. The article I posted the link to (also by a Canadian gent) discusses the differences in the CHAMBERS of the two different calibers.
Maybe you should read this thread. Surplusrifle Forum • View topic - 7.62 NATO Pressure vs. commercial 308 Winchester
He (Ganderite) worked for CIL which was the largest ammunition manufacturer in Canada. It feels like I am banging my head off the wall here. I am aware of the headspace/dimension differences. It is insignificant in a bolt rifle. I am done with this thread.

I think Dave said all I wanted to say, so all I am going to say is I use either & or in all my 7.62 & .308 rifles, same with my 5.56 & .223 rifles......
When all else fails.
Dave, If you notice, Ed Hoffer disagreed w/ him. Ed's a pretty smart guy. What is the issue w/ caution w/ these old rifles? You do what you want w/ your rifles, but for someone not familiar don't you think caution is best?

Maggie's Farm
We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Qorbanot at Lent
This season of Lent naturally has me thinking about the theme of sacrifice. I wondered when Jews gave up ritual sacrifice, and was interested to learn that the tradition was to eat the sacrificed animal - sharing it with the priest who no doubt got the filet, and to let the guts burn to ashes. In Christianity, Christ is the unblemished Lamb of God.
Those are the roots of Christ's instructions about what we now call "Communion." "This is my flesh, take of it and eat."

A hospital in Niger
"Do unto others..." The Christians loved - and touched - this guy. Love that goes around - it doesn't matter whether it comes back around or not but, in some ways, it's more wonderful when it doesn't. We Christians are taught to give of ourselves, and not to take, as a way of life. The capacity to be reflectors of divine grace: that is the "life in abundance" which was promised.
My friend does quite a bit of that, via SIM.

Memento homo, quia pulvis es, et in pulverem reverteris.
The 40-odd days following Ash Wednesday culminating in the prayer-laden and introspective Easter Vigil are the time when all Christians focus most intently on their relationship with the living Christ, and His role in their lives and in their hearts.
I usually welcome Lent with hope, and excitement about discovering where this year's Lenten journey might lead me. It is the gravitational center of my year.
Plant roots wake up and start growing months before the spring buds begin to swell. Lent is my root-growing time, and I hope it will be that this year.

The Beatitudes
Christians believe, as I understand it, that Jesus was the "son" of God, "son" being used figuratively to describe a human-like incarnation of the deity which was made manifest by the resurrection and other remarkable phenomena.
Don't ask me to explain the Trinity - it's a mystery to me.
To non-believers, it sounds like science fiction, but even non-believers and Doubting Thomases have no doubt that Jesus (the Latinized version of Yeshua, Joshua) was an inspired and spiritually revolutionary rabbi who has been rocking the world since he lived.
For Christmas, the Beatitudes (beginning with Matthew 5), the beginning of The Sermon on the Mount.

Not from today's Lectionary
Matthew 1:18-25
Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to dismiss her quietly. But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. All this took place to fulfil what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,

Advent and baby fir trees
The time from the start of Advent to Christmas is like a short spiritual pregnancy.
What's the miracle of Christmas? That Christ can be born in all of us, anywhere, any time, at any season, to make us fully human and complete by linking the divine spark in our pagan, fallen souls to the holy.
Is it a shame, or a blessing, that we have to really need Him before we will put our precious selves aside, just a bit, to let Him into our lives?
While my Puritan ancestors would never celebrate the "Roman" (eg "Anti-Christ") feast of Christmas, I find it to be an emotional reminder of that miracle which exists in the present, not the past. And the totally pagan, Germanic tree is a perfect metaphor for transformation - ordinary baby firs, like all of us (miracle enough right there), with the potential to be transformed by light and truth and beauty and brotherly love.
At Maggie's Farm HQ, this transformation, from ordinary fir tree to Holy Spirit-illuminated tree, is what we pray for. (Hold the tinsel, please.) It's not decor, it's a symbol of our potential.

Chanukah Confusion and Enlightenment, reposted
First day of Chanukah
Although almost all use quotations from the Bible to buttress modern day arguments, relatively few have ever read it. Actually, I should say any of them. For there's the Jewish Bible, the Catholic Bible, and various Protestant Bibles, and among these are various translations, inclusions and exclusions.
One of the narratives, that of the Maccabees, is not included in the Jewish Bible. There's several reasons offered: The two Books of Maccabees are in the Alexandrian Greek version, and only those Books in the original Hebrew are included. (Other Books of similar non-Hebrew language or not accepted as divine scripture, like Judith, are as well in the Apocrypha, some in some denominations' Bibles.) The reign of the Maccabees' heirs were not of the sacred line of David and, therefore, unworthy to be treated as kings. Their rule was tarnished by corrupt practices, and contributed toward the internal divisiveness and, then, destruction by the Romans of the Jewish homeland, the wholesale massacres of Jews there and diaspora to alien lands for the remainder. Then, there's the rationale that for a people in exile, subject to survival under and adaptations to inhospitable or suspicious foreign ways, it was not good politics to exalt recent Jews as warriors in the codification of the Jewish Bible.
Today, with the increased ability of Jews to practice openly and participate constructively in Western societies, and with pride in having a homeland to secure safety for all Jews who would return there, the relatively minor holiday of Chanukah is celebrated widely. Providing a celebration for Jewish children at the time of year that others celebrate Christmas has made of Chanukah a major holiday. lt also fits with the recovery of a homeland of refuge in
Still, if Chanukah is degraded to just blue-and-white lights in place of red-and-yellow, or icicles, Chanukah is made meaningless.
One must remember there are two Books of Maccabee. The first Book deals with the profanation and oppression in which many Jews went along to survive -- leading to the brave fight by a few for religious freedom that overwhelmed seemingly undefeatable might.
(There's also the side-story of Hannah and her seven sons, who endured the most severe tortures practiced in those times, the descriptions of which would even sicken a surrealist, rather than renounce their faith.)
The second Book deals with the resanctification of the
I'll leave the canonical and scholarly debates here for others, in order to draw a lesson. Chanukah and the Maccabees fits within the Jewish Bible's narrative, whether formally or by custom. And, more attention deserves to be given the first Book, to understand the second. Fight, or surrender to comforts and fears and, thus, perish.
The Jewish Bible is a series of opportunities for living the guidance provided by G-d through experience and direction, often failing to do so in successive generations and paying terrible prices to relearn and return to basic truths. In this sense, Jews are fated to be a small self-selecting people, those who adhere to these basic truths, while by basic frail human nature others fall and fail by the wayside, merging into ostensibly safer masses.
The modern state of Israel struggles with these choices, and so far has risen beyond any expectations -- by rejecting the sophistry of self-serving internal weaklings, defectors, and collaborators paid off by Israel's enemies, and by evading false friends in high-places within other governments, who all recommend paths that are well-known to lead to defeatism and doom.
So, depending on the transliteration, to all a Happy Chanukah, or Hannukah. These young people in a flash mob on Ben Yehuda Street are the spirit that bring pride to fighting to endure in basic truth, for the benefit of all. There are onlookers and there are participants. Without modern Maccabees, participants in fighting for life, all would be enslaved.

Israel approves 558 new homes in occupied East JerusalemUpdated: 2014-02-06 10:01:07 KST
In a move certain to shake already fragile Middle East peace talks
Israeli officials have approved building plans for more than 5-hundred-50 new homes in Jewish settlements in East Jerusalem, land the Palestinians want as their capital.
Israel's Jerusalem municipality said Wednesday that its planning committee had approved the construction work in three settlements in a part of the West Bank that Israel captured in the 1967 war and later annexed.
Israel says the initial plans for the new homes were approved years ago.
Palestinians are furious with the decision, saying it could derail U.S.-brokered peace talks, which resumed in July last year.
The expansion of Israeli settlements is considered illegal under international law.

Beatbox artist with the world at his feet ; Lippicool NOTTINGHAM SOUNDHis track Bring Back Them Times is currently being played on the BBC 1Xtra playlist. Laura Bennett finds out more about musician and actor Lippicool
I WOULD rather write 64 bars of lyrics that would entice an entire generation than write 640 words on law that would probably bore even the tutor that was marking it. If you don't love something you do, don't do it.
So days Lippicool, who at the age of 20, quit his degree at university to concentrate on music.
Since then, the rapper, beatboxer and musician has performed at Glastonbury, V and Global Gathering, appeaS red alongside the likes of Akon, The Game and Tinie Tempah, and made videos with JLS, Ms Dynamite and Kano.
This week, BBC 1 Xtra put his latest single, Bring Back Them Times, on its playlist.
What does Lippicool mean? When I was younger it was hard to think of a name for me musically so due to the fact I was beatboxing and someone said I had cool lips, I put it together as Lippicool.
What style of music do you make? It ranges from mellow, acoustic tracks to electro house club songs.
Who are your biggest influences? My main influence would be Michael Jackson but, regarding music, I would say artists like Maverick Sabre and The Weeknd.
What have been your favourite shows so far? Supporting artists like Friendly Fires and Shy FX at Global Gathering and V Festival.
Also, being on stage watching Ed Sheeran's whole set.
The festival experience was amazing. I want to do it every year until I can't perform no more. Waking up at 4am to get on three to four different trains to a huge field somewhere in the UK every week is so exciting.
Any claims to fame? I've been in films like This is England and TV drama Murphy's Law. I've also appeared in adverts for Blackberry, Kit Kat and 3 Mobile.
Where is your music on sale? It's on iTunes, Amazon, Juno Download and many others. Just search Lippi. To find out more go to www.lippimusic.com.

Brooklyn zuuuh!
A fine little piece I found about my old neighbourhood; Kupe St, Orakei.
Its so funny that the problems with the low socio economic communities are addressed only when a point or an example needs to be made.
Ultimately leading to some sort of gain.
These lazy people are not looking after their properties, these houses are sitting on million dollar real estates, get them out…. so you can have it????
How about actually talking to people there?
You'll find that the majority of the residents take care of their properties above and beyond, are very community driven and look after one another, are as concerned about the so called " burnt out P Labs" as you are, hard working ( employed!), and would be more than willing to help you if you asked.
Its as simple as saying hello and waving to them as they walk/drive past… true story.
However, most of NZ are intimated by a mixture of these peoples appearances, and their own TV watching developed imagination to do that, let alone scared to say hello in their own communities.
To tell the truth, their probably a lot friendlier than a lot of NZers are.
Of course I also saw a lot of bad things in that area, but whenever this stuff did occur, who were the people that helped stop these situations? The community.
To end my rant, the Kupe st neighbourhood, was one of the roughest, and the same time caring and community driven neighbourhoods I lived in, both beautiful and ugly at any given time. Nothing like summer in the city if you live on Kupe St.
And to top it off the view from our rooms were the best views of Auckland, how you love that!?
BootHill - Kupe St - Orakei. - Much love to the whole whanau up there.

Frost Still Toasty in Champions Tour Season Opener
David Frost followed up his opening 7-under 65 with another 65 to go up by two strokes through 36 holes of the season opener on the Champions Tour, the $1.8 million Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalia in Kona, Hawaii.
The 53-year-old South African posted seven birdies - including five in his first six holes on the back nine, to reach 14-under 130, two strokes ahead of John Cook (two consecutive 66s) and four in front of Kirk Triplett (66, 68).
Cook realizes he's chasing one hot golfer. "Frosty is going low, I know that," he told reporters.
Five back with one round to go in the 54-hole event are Fred Couples and Tom Kite, who both posted 69s, while another stroke back after a 68 is Bernhard Langer.
Jay Haas (69), Steve Elkington (69), Russ Cochran (70) and Tom Lehman (71) are tied for seventh at 7-under 137.
