The United Methodist Congress of the Deaf (UMCD) represents the interests of Deaf, late-deafened, hard-of-hearing, and deaf-blind members of The United Methodist Church. It advocates for accessibility which includes all persons who live with various degrees and dimensions of hearing challenges. The UMCD supports ministries that empower deaf, late-deafened, hard-of-hearing, and deaf-blind persons to contribute their talents, gifts, and personhood in Christian community within the church and in communities beyond the church.
The National Committee on Ministries with Deaf, Late-Deafened, Hard of Hearing, and Deaf-Blind People (formerly the National Committee on Deaf Ministries) was established as a mission initiative by the 1992 General Conference. The committee affirms -- as a foundational Christian belief -- that the ministry of God's people should be experienced without barriers. Committed to an inclusive Gospel, The United Methodist Church is compelled to reach out to persons who are Deaf, deafened or hard-of-hearing, using the most effective mode of communication, whether it be sign language by pastors, sign language and/or oral interpreting, and/or assistive technologies. It seeks to be faithful to the task of exploring how United Methodists have been and can be in ministry together with persons who are Deaf, deafened or hard-of-hearing.

UNDP China Programmes Recognised Following Regional Awards
An award ceremony was held in Beijing to acknowledge a series of awards received by the UNDP China Office at the UNDP Regional Bureau for Asia and the Pacific Cluster Meeting in Delhi (India). The awards included a Knowledge Management/Sharing Award in recognition of the success of the Technical Task Force Project (TTF) in China and its subsequent piloting in Sri Lanka. This project has so far seen millions of farmers benefit from technical assistance and training provided by 150,000 TTF personnel in all 31 of China's provinces. As one of UNDP's flagship programmes, assistance has helped farmers identify and introduce new technologies, develop community associations and expand the marketing dimensions of their existing business activities. A Climate Change Award for the Green Lights Project – an ambitious project to replace every incandescent light bulb in China with an energy efficient alternative – was also received on account of UNDP support for two energy-efficiency related roadmaps and the modernisation of production technologies, supply chains and consumer attitudes.
Other awards included a 2012 Equator Award for a Sustainable Biodiversity Management Project aimed at promoting sustainable biodiversity management and harvesting of traditional Chinese medicinal plants along the steep mountain landscapes of the Yangtze River basin. Meanwhile, having finished in the top 10 of the Annual UNDP Success Story Competition, an award was presented in recognition for the disaster relief and reconstruction efforts which UNDP coordinated and implemented after the Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008.

Hi: 8° Lo:2°
By Tristan Harris Friday 27 June 2014 Updated: 27/06 16:21
ORGANISATIONS across North Worcestershire have joined forces in a bid to stop residents falling victim to loan sharks.
More than 100 staff members from 19 agencies, including West Mercia Police, Bromsgrove District Council, Redditch Borough Council and Age UK, took part in 'Stop Loan Sharks' awareness training between January and May.
The sessions, run by the England Illegal Money Lending Team, showed frontline staff what signs to look out for and how to recognise the symptoms and effects of illegal money lending when dealing with customers.
They were also trained about how to deal with the situations appropriately and sensitively.
Alasdair Baker, Bromsgrove District Council's community safety project officer, said: "Very often victims of loan sharks are unwilling to come forward about their circumstances and therefore it makes it very hard to help them.
"The training session was a real eye-opener and I now feel more confident that I would be able to identify illegal money lending issues amongst the individuals and families I work with."
And Tony Quigley, head of the Illegal Money Lending Team, added they were pleased to be working in partnership with other bodies to highlight the dangers of loan sharks, who preyed on vulnerable residents, and offer support to those affected.
Anyone involved with a loan shark or who suspects one is operating in their area can report it to the Illegal Money Lending Team (IMLT), which is part of Trading Standards, by calling 0300 555 2222, emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or by texting 'loan shark' and the details to 60003.

Credit Unions Hit 100 Millionth Membership
Credit unions have reached and surpassed 100 million memberships nationwide – equating to one in every three Americans – J. Scott Sullivan, President and CEO of the Nebraska Credit Union League, announced today. The 100 million memberships count is based on data collected from credit unions and compiled by CUNA in its June 2014 "Monthly Credit Union Estimates." CUNA estimates that credit union memberships expanded by 2.9% in the past 12 months (June 2013 to June 2014), and the 100 million mark was eclipsed in June. This represents a continuation (and acceleration) of trends previously reported: In 2013 memberships expanded by 2.5% and in 2012 memberships grew 2.1%. CUNA expects the membership growth to continue in the second half of 2014 and exceed the full-year growth of the previous year. Read the full Press Release.

I love Mark Bittman! This comes from "How to Cook Everything." This was my first time making biscotti, and they came out absolutely wonderful -- this was such an easy recipe. Best of all, he gives it not as a recipe, but as a template; you can essentially add anything and make whatever kind of biscotti you want. The only near-problem I found is that the 30 minute initial cooking time was too long for me; the edges of my logs were quite brown. Next time I'll try for 25-28 minutes, and go a full 20 minutes for the second round in the oven. The serving size is based on half biscotti; I got 24 very large biscotti, and consider half a cookie a serving.

2015 bmw m4 convertible
BMW officially unveiled the 2015 M4 Convertible at the Javits Center in New York this morning. The droptop, which will slot in next to the M4 Coupe in BMW's performance line, offers infinitely more headroom, fresh air and sunshine for those that want a little more great outdoors and tousled hair ...
Each generation of the BMW M3 has included a convertible model. Even the distant E30, the patriarch of the M3 line, had an ultra-rare (only 787 were built) droptop model. The convertible became more common on the successive generations, with the hardtop-convertible E93 being the most recent. ...

Left and Right?
Who thought of calling left, left, and right, right? Why don't we say 1 and 2, or A and B to determine left and right? My sister really wants to know and I don't have a clue.
Summarising: Three ways of looking at it. Extracts from the Geoffrey Leech article, English Grammar in Conversation. View 1: Spoken English has no grammar at all: it is grammatically inchoate. (That view) ...does not need to be taken seriously, although it is surprisingly persistent in the mind of the folk grammarian. It is inherited from the age-old tradition associating grammar with the written language, and it is bolstered by examples such as the following, which, like others which follow, is from the Longman spoken corpus: No. Do you know erm you know where the erm go over to er go over erm where the fire station is not the one that white white View 2: Spoken English does not have a special grammar: its grammar is just the same as the grammar of written English Conversation makes use of entities such as prepositions, modals, noun phrases and relative clauses, just as written language does. So - assuming, as many would, that differences of frequency belong to the use of the grammar, rather than to the grammatical system itself - it is quite natural to think in terms of one English grammar, whose use in conversational performance can be contrasted with its use in various kinds of writing. In other words, conversational grammar is seen to be just a rather special implementation of the common grammar of English: a discovery which does not necessarily in any way diminish the interest of studying the grammar (i.e. the grammatical use) of spoken language. View 3: Spoken English does have a special grammar - it has its own principles, rules and categories, which are different from those of the written language. In handling spoken language, (David) Brazil argues for a totally different approach to grammar from the approach which has become familiar through conventional focus on the written language. He argues for a linear model moving dynamically through time, and puts aside the more traditional architectural model in terms of hierarchies of units. Although Carter and McCarthy do not take this thorough-going approach, they do throw the spotlight on grammatical features of spoken language which they feel have been largely neglected by standard grammars entrenched in the 'written tradition'. They argue that structures which are inherent to speech have not been properly studied until the advent of the spoken computer corpus, and are consequently absent from canonised written grammar familiar to learners of English throughout the world: structures such as the 'dislocated topic' of This little shop ... it's lovely or the 'wagging tail' of Oh I reckon they're lovely. I really do whippets. These tend to find their raison d'être in the fact that conversation constructs itself in a dynamic fashion, giving the speaker only a small look-ahead window for planning what to say, and often inducing retrospective add-ons. Carter and McCarthy (1995) put forward a structural model for the clause in conversation, containing in addition to the core clause itself a pre-clause topic and a post-clause tail. With their refreshing emphasis on the dynamic modelling of grammar in action, Carter and McCarthy seem to be taking a line similar to Brazil's advocacy of a new grammar of speech.

Does anyone know where the term "zero conditional" comes from and why we use it for labeling the "unchanging Laws of Existence" conditional? What does that "zero" mean? (Looking for a bit of etymology here and not a desription of zero conditionals per se.)
I'm wondering if George Lucas just made this word up. I found that sith was from the celtic word "sidhe" meaning "fairy, especially one that conjures dead spirits." It seems really random that Sith would mean something and that Jedi would be meaningless.
Can one say "beforehandedly?" and if so should it be with double L or single. If rejected what word would you useinstead? By the way, is the any rule as to use one or two Ls when making adverbs?
I was taught by my English Lit professor, whilst studying Chaucer and Shakespeare that the old definition of the word "punk" was "Prostitute". Is this true? The only references I can find will only give me stuff related to The Sex Pistols & co. Any help? Thanks!
Anyone know the origin of the term 'dew claw' in referring to the extra claw on a dog's leg?
I have always thought that "2 write" like this did not exist "B4″ the Internet and online chatting. But strange enough I saw in Charles Dickens' Great Expectations that he has used this kind of spelling to picture his illiterate character that is Pip when he is still living with his sister and Joe: "MI DEER JO I OPE U R KRWITE WELL I OP I SHAL SON B HABELL 4 2 TEEDGE U JO AN THEN WE SHORL B SO GLODD AN WEN I M PRENGTD 2 U JO WOT LARX AN BLEVE ME INF AN PIP." Does anyone know of any earlier instance of such thing?
HELP! I understand that coke, kleenex and xerox are examples of synecdoches, but I believe that there is a word for the specific kind of synecdoche where a brand name has come to mean the generic name for a product. This search has been driving me moderately insane. Any help you can give will be truly appreciated by myself, my family, and my pharmacist.
Why do English speakers use the Japanese word "Tsunami", when there is a perfectly usable word "tidal wave"? Not just English speakers, even Germans, Italians, and French use "Tsunami". Does Tsunami happen most commonly in Japan? Personally, I don't remember any Tsunami incidents when I was living in Japan. Also, why do some people pronounce it "Sunami" when it starts with a "T"?
What is the little machine called that one slides one's credit card through it when one wants to pay. And which verb do you use when you do this act? Is it called a "printer" the part that prints out the receipt? Or has it a specific name in this case. What is it called when one hands ones credit card to the shop keeper for instance and then have to sign the receipt and what is it called when one just uses the machine and enter one's PIN code? What is the old machine called that used to be used (it rarely still is) that makes a carbon copy of the credit card surface by placing it inside and sliding a part over it. I would appreciate if you could provide a wider glossary of credit card usage please.
Dictionaries say that the word, all -among other functions- is an adjective. I seem not to understand this. I was taught that to make sure whether a word is adjective one can make a sentence with [the specific] noun + to be + [the specific] adjective. i.e. "blue sky", "sky is blue." This formula seems to function in all the adjectives except "all." Can anyone explain why the English dictionaries call "all" an adjective? I have looked up many examples, but it didn't help.
What does the title, Clockwork Orange mean? I have found this. Is it correct? Does anyone from London know this slang? I also wonder what exactly th etitle, Family Plot means if you have seen the film, I mean Hitchcock's.
I'm wondering what the meaning of "Conceptual Art" is. Could anyone help me? Thanks a lot.
I was curious what the BCC feature of e-mail stands for and just found out that it stands for "Blind Carbon Copy." Now I have a new problem: does this term - blind carbon copy - exist in terms of paper letter? If yes, what is it?
Is there an English noun that means a woman who is old enough that doesn't get menstruation anymore and therefore cannot be pregnant? I'm especially looking for an ordinary word, rather than any scientific's. I can't find such word, a noun, in any language (not even in my mother tongue) but in Arabic, that is, "Ya'ese." Any help?
I think I first heard the slang "hairy" in Apocalypse Now. The American Heritage says: "Fraught with difficulties; hazardous: a hairy escape; hairy problems." In the anoted Wordworth edition of Joyce's Dubliners it says, "too hairy: experienced, canny." Have you ever heard this slang to be used in this sense? Joyce's sentence reads thus: "She doesn't know my name. I was too hairy to tell her that." Could it be that the editor(s) made a mistake and it was "it" instead of "I" which then would mean closer to the sense we know of the slang? or what?
Mates, I'm in a big trouble. What does "bios" mean? It must be a Latin word, right? (And I tell you it has nothing to do with computer's BIOS.) i.e. "...enablig the performer's "presens" or scenic bios to attract the spectator's attention..." [Eugenio Barba, The Paper Canoe: A Guide to Theatre Anthropology, p. 9. bios is Italic in the original text] you can check this as well.
Go + noun? Is it an idiom or bad grammar? There's an old Finnish road movie parody about a Soviet accordion band (played by a Finnish group) that goes to the USA. The title of the movie is "Leningrad Cowboys Go America". In 1995, a yearly art happening was born in Helsinki, Finland, where small art exhibitions are put up in pubs and restaurants. The happening is called "Art Goes Kapakka" ('kapakka' = pub). With Google you get about 8 000 results with search term "goes America", and 25 000 with "go America". In some of them America is the subject of the sentence, but in some of them it is used in the same way as in the Finnish slogans. What strikes me in the latter case is that so many of the net sites are Finnish or German. Now is this structure just bad grammar from Finnish slogan-makers who didn't do their homework at school, or is it an idiom used also in the Anglo-Saxon world? I know the expression 'go crazy'. Can a noun be also used?
I have this impression that American orthography started to differ slightly from the British spelling because the emigrants sort of started from a clean table in their writing, and spelling grew closer to pronunciation. Americans write 'realize', 'organize', 'Elizabeth', while Brits write 'realise', 'organise', 'Elisabeth': when said aloud, the words have a voiced sibilant, hence the 'z' instead of 's'. Also vice versa. The clearly sounding 'r' in American pronunciation in words like 'word', 'bird', 'are', should, according to my knowledge, derive from the same liaison between speaking and writing: because it is written, it can also be heard. The audible 'r' is a kind of relic that has worn off from the British pronunciation. Is this so?

DETROIT (AP) — You can't drive far without seeing a Toyota Camry, Honda Accord or Ford Fusion. Midsize sedans have been America's favorite cars for decades. That's changing. More people are choosing small cars like the Chevrolet Cruze and even smaller ones like the Honda Fit because they're worried about gas prices and car payments.
Nokia Siemens To Lay Off 17,000 WorldwideNovember 23, 2011 4:25 am | by Matti Huuhtanen, Associated Press
HELSINKI (AP) — Nokia Siemens Networks is slashing 17,000 jobs worldwide by 2013 — nearly 23 percent of its work force — as it strives to cut costs by euro1 billion ($1.35 billion). The mobile infrastructure company said Wednesday the measures are part of "an extensive global restructuring program," which includes streamlining the organization to improve long-term competitiveness and profitability.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy grew more slowly over the summer than the government had earlier estimated because businesses cut back more sharply on restocking of shelves.

SHANGHAI (AP) — The investigation into a bullet train crash in China last summer that killed 40 people has come and gone with no public report on what led to the disaster. The secrecy surrounding the probe, which ended in September, is typical of the sensitivities shown toward wider troubles plaguing the showcase high-speed rail program.

Ultra-high field 7T MRI offers superior signal-to-noise and spatial resolution relative to any other noninvasive imaging technique. By revealing fine anatomical details of the living brain, 7T MRI allows neuroimaging researchers the opportunity to observe in patients disease-related structural changes previously apparent only on postmortem tissue analysis. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a natural subject for this technology, and I review here two AD-related applications of 7T MRI: direct visualization of cortical plaques, and high resolution hippocampal imaging. I also discuss limitations of this technology as well as expected advances that are likely to establish 7T MRI as an increasingly important tool for the diagnosis and tracking of AD.

The F34 3 Series GT (Gran Turismo) is just months from its debut and the first F34 chassis has now been spotted.
The 3 Series GT will feature a similar engine lineup to the F30 3 Series and we expect its public debut to possibly come at the 2013 NAIAS in January (if it will be sold in the US) or 2013 Geneva show in March.
For previous coverage and details thus far on the F34 GT, see http://www.bimmerpost.com/?s=f34
It's not official until it's official (BMW announces it publicly), but further confirming clues that the F32 coupe will be badged as the 4 Series Coupe comes from a list of a list of forthcoming miniature scale models that BMW AG has released internally in Germany, according to BMW insider Scott26.
In addition to the new M6 models and 6 Series Gran Coupe, they identify the F34 3 Series Gran Turismo and the F32 "4 Series" Coupe as the upcoming BMW miniatures to be released.

Japanese tuning company 3D Design releases its aero kit for the F30 3 Series sedan.
From the company's inception in 1998 the gentlemen at 3D Design Japan have worked persistently to develop a brand focused on the idea of clean lines and top shelf products produced in conjunction with top shelf manufacturers. The new generation of BMW chassis pose a interesting challenge due to the fact that the Munich designers have done a excellent job with the aesthetics. The F30 is no exception. Although the variance from … CONTINUED
So sorry folks, we don't mean to cry wolf, but upon closer inspection we believe that this prototype is actually the 3 Series GT.
With some of its rear camouflage removed, it revealed a sleeker hind roofline and rear, which gave it the appearance of a fastback/coupe-sedan, which we mistook for the 4 Series Gran Coupe. We apologize for the mistake.
The silver lining is that the 3 Series GT is looking sleeker/sportier than ever.

The F32 4 Series Coupe and F33 4 Series Convertible have finally shown one of its most important signature design elements (and on any BMW) – the kidney grilles!
As expected, the kidney grilles of the coupe are sportier (thinner, shapelier and wider) than that of the F30 3 Series sedan. A close look reveals a different number of slats and differing designs for the grilles on each side – 11 flatter slats on the driver side versus 9 'kinked' slats on the passenger side. We are … CONTINUED
The BMW 3 Series plays an important role in the BMW history. This documentary gives you an overview over six generations of the BMW 3 Series.

Book Description:
Pedro Menéndez de Avilés founded and colonized the city of St. Augustine, Florida, the oldest city in the continental United States. Considering who his father was, it was little wonder that he was drawn to a life of adventure and service to the Spanish king. Pedro's father had helped defeat the last of the Moors in 1492. Serving the Spanish monarchy was an honored tradition in the family. Pedro soon made a name for himself because of his brave deeds at sea. Sometimes, he was little better than a pirate himself, but he was well known for his daring and his bravery. Most historians believe that it was Ponce de Léon who claimed Florida for Spain in 1513. But by 1562, France began to challenge Spain's claim to the area. This angered the Spanish king. So in 1565, King Philip sent Menéndez back to Florida to get rid of the French and establish Spain's stronghold in the area. His brother-in-law was the official recorder of the expedition and we are able to reconstruct his exploration of the American Southeast (back then, La Florida encompassed most of the southeastern part of the U.S.). Though he was ruthless and merciless in the name of the Spanish crown, he established a colony in Florida that nearly 450 years later still reflects its rich Spanish history.

Used auto parts have become very popular in recent years. A lot of backyard mechanics have stumbled on to the fact that they can save a lot of money without sacrificing quality when they buy used parts. But before you buy used auto parts from Everett's Auto Parts or another seller, you should be aware of a few things.
Is It the Right Part?
Whether you're buying used or new, it's important to buy the correct part. This can be really tricky since your part may look a little different than the replacement part. If it's at all possible, you should take the old part in with you. This way you can make sure the replacement part will fit correctly.
Short of comparing the parts side by side, you might be able to ask the employees at the auto parts store to help you. You may be able to find the right part if you know the exact name of it. Alternatively, you can find the right part by figuring out where it goes and what it does.
Even when you research everything thoroughly, you may still end up with the wrong part at times. That's why you need to inquire about the warranty and exchange policy before you buy anything. Most used auto parts sellers will be happy to let you exchange the item, as long as you don't wait too long and bring the receipt.
Looking for a Specialty Item?
Some car owners need car parts that nobody else is looking for. Such specialty items may be difficult to find. However, most used car part sellers have a huge inventory of parts. If you don't want to waste your time, you may want to call in advance to see if they have it in stock. It shouldn't take long for them to search their computer database for what you need.
The good thing about buying used car parts is that it's a lot easier to find those specialty items used. If your car is old or otherwise rare, a used car part seller is more likely to have what you're looking for.
Which Parts to Buy Used
There are some parts that you might rather buy new than used. If it has to do with safety, then you should err on the side of caution and purchase a new part. If the car part is a part that wears down over time, you may also want to consider buying a new part. For example, your brake pads need to be replaced with new parts in order to guarantee your safety.
Generally, you can buy almost everything used. Even though your engine is a working part that will wear down over time as well, you can still replace it with a used one if you want. A new engine may last a little longer than a used one, but there is no guarantee that this is really true. Plus, the rest of your car may not last as long as the new or used engine anyway.
Check Out the Warranty
Even if you're absolutely sure that you're purchasing the correct part, you need to inquire about the warranty before you buy. Used car part sellers, such as Everett's Auto Parts, realize that some used parts simply don't work. Therefore, they should give you enough time to exchange or return a part when necessary.

Itchy Ears
What causes itchy ears?Question:
Many things, including infection, trauma, or allergy, can produce itchy ears. Often it's seborrheic dermatitis (similar to dandruff), which may be caused by dry, flaky earwax, irritation from chemicals in hair products, or excessive ear cleaning.
Since there are many possible culprits, if the itchiness persists, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. Several kinds of over-the-counter ear drops, as well as prescription drops, are available. If you have pain or fever, do not use drops without first consulting your doctor. You may have a perforated eardrum or a serious infection. For dermatitis, you can use a cream or ointment on the external part of the ear.
One common cause of itching is "swimmer's ear," which occurs when water gets trapped in the ear, allowing bacteria or fungi to grow. If your ear begins to itch after swimming (particularly in a lake) or even showering, keep the affected ear dry. You can buy antiseptic ear drops at drugstores. This restores the natural acid balance of the ear canal, helps dry it out, and kills bacteria. Put one or two drops in each ear with a medicine dropper for two or three minutes, then tilt your head and let them drain out. Repeat three times daily.Answer:

Airgun Pellet Accuracy Testing
When it comes to choosing and customising ammunition for accuracy, the airgunner loses out hands down to the firearms user for a number of reasons.The latter's components can be individually loaded and customised to give the optimum performance from a given rifle.
Things like bullet weight, shape, and velocity can be adjusted to suit the barrel of a specific rifle. The cartridge case can be re-sized and adjusted to its exact specifications and the various types of powder and primer can come together to produce the ultimate reload. To put it simply - the power supply and the projectile are all in one package and the rifle is basically a launch platform.
A little piece of shaped lead
The air rifle is far more complicated. Virtually all the power and velocity metering is contained inside the rifle. The projectile (the pellet), is just an inert piece of lead and restricted in design due to the method of power delivery. It has to have some sort of hollow tail (skirt) to allow it to expand from the blast of air behind it as it travels up the bore. It also needs some sort of waist, which helps to reduce friction, the head and the skirt being the only points of contact with the barrel. This is called a 'diablo' shape and it gives stability in flight, much like a shuttlecock.
Throughout this article we are talking about a power output of just under 12ft/lbs of muzzle energy as that is the current legal limit allowed and also the limit set for all Field Target (FT) and Hunter Field Target (HFT) competitions and with that in mind, power would be realistically set around 11.5ft/lbs. The following information will be relevant whichever of the two most popular calibres the shooter uses, those being .177 and .22. There is no difference in inherent accuracy between the two, but there is a pronounced difference in trajectory.
With all this taken into account it means that the shooter's choices can be narrowed down to just three variables when selecting ammunition.
Pulling shapes
1. Shape of pellet
In reality there is only one particular shape that offers accuracy and stability while still retaining decent terminal velocity and that is the diablo (described above) with a dome shaped head. As can be seen in the photographs, although various styles and types are available, the dome is time proven for accuracy out to 55yds and this is reflected in all of the pellets shown.
The choice comes down to the manufacturers who tend to produce the same basic shapes. One may have a thicker skirt than another, or the head may vary in roundness or have a `seam` (sometimes called a 'driving band') around the circumference. Some will be longer or shorter too.
Some pellets may have a hollow nose (hollow point) which is designed to help stop over penetration and transfer more energy into quarry when hunting. It does this job well at short/medium ranges but lacks long range accuracy. Other are flat headed (Wadcutters) designed to punch neat holes in paper at relatively close range, and 'pointed' pellets that claim better penetration for hunting – a problem that really doesn't exist at sensible airgun distances.
What this series of articles is aimed at is pure and simple accuracy, and with that in mind only pellets with a proven record will be used in testing. Presently it appears that a well-made, diablo-shaped pellet that is completely smooth on the outside with a slim skirt and reasonably deep cavity in the rear does the job as well as it has ever done.
Pellet weight
This variation is the one with the most choice. Talking specifically about .177 cal. domehead pellets, the weight range extends from 7.6 to 10.5-grains, although in practice, due to the relatively low power available, most target shooters now avoid the heavier pellets due to their pronounced trajectory problems. This wasn't always the case.
When FT was in its infancy, shooters used Superdome pellets, mainly because they were the only half decent design available that shot well in their spring-powered rifles. Weighing in at around 8.6-grains, and reasonably well made, these were the choice for some time until pre-charged pneumatics (PCPs) started to appear.
It was then discovered that PCPs could handle heavier pellets with better results and everybody started using 10.5-grain Bisley Magnums. They were extremely accurate but the downside was the more pronounced trajectory. What was needed was something with the same accuracy potential but a lighter weight. Enter the Crossman Premier! At 7.9-grains they were 2.5-grains lighter than the Magnums and could be fired at 820fps and remain legal on muzzle energy. This extra speed meant a much flatter trajectory. The Bisley Magnum, being a heavier pellet, was limited to 715fps to remain within the law.
It was felt by some that the small 7.9-grain Premiers were a bit too light at long range, losing energy and, more importantly, being more affected by crosswinds. The next stage of development saw the appearance of the super consistent 8.4-grain from JSB. Not a million miles away from the original 8.6-grain Superdomes! The biggest difference was the quality of production and the complete lack of lines or grooves along the outside of the pellet skirt.
This new weight pellet is now used by 80% of target shooters and is available in a number of different guises, being badged by a number of rifle manufacturers. The only difference is in the quality of the dies (that shape the pellets) at the time of production. You pays yer money and yer makes yer choice!
Oh,by the way, what are the other 20% using I hear you ask! Crosman Premiers, Accupells, and Mosquitos. All are 7.9-grains and they all look the same!
Tight or slack
A comparatively recent trend has been to offer the top grade pellets in three different head diameters. Depending on the barrel used, a tighter or slacker fit may provide improvement in accuracy. It can also alter the ballistic co-efficient and, in turn, the trajectory.
From all this we can assume that from a target shooting point of view, the average FT and HFT shooter uses 8.4-grain pellets fired at around 11.5ft/lb of muzzle energy from a PCP. Other than choosing a good batch, weighing them and perhaps even running them through a sizer, there is not a great deal that can be done to improve things.
Experiments in accuracy and consistency
Taking all these variables, a few questions come to mind. Does weighing individual pellets make that much difference or is it a psychological thing? To what extent does the head size affect accuracy and/or trajectory?
I must admit that I weigh all my match pellets for peace of mind but there are an awful lot of left-overs. What becomes of them? If they are that far off the mark it would be foolish to use them for practice. On the other hand, if they are that close to being accurate, why not use them for competition?
The head size is a bit more of a mystery. I had a strange experience recently when using a different size than normal, and it is that which has led me to once again start investigating my pellets.
It is these areas that I am going to look at in the next few articles and hopefully come to some solid conclusions.

best pellet for hw100 carbine using air arms they are awful
Air Arms Diablos should work fine, but if not, try Weihrauch's own F&T pellets, Crosman Premier, Accupel, and H&N Field and Target Trophy which all seem to work well in the HW100.
If none of these work, get back to us.
I enjoy using an HW99s springer in. 177 and I find all varieties of JSB Exacts to be very accurate and consistent. However when I tried using Accupells just to see what they would be like, I found the accurate but very prone to dieseling. Can you suggest why one pellet might cause this more than another?
Pellet trajectory over water.
I shoot about 1000 177 pellets a month either indoor 10 meters or 25 meters out doors at a target board across my small lake ( hoping to be there when a water rat shows) I have come to realise how much the air/water temp can affect the accuracy..Depending on wind direction and tempreature changes there can be strong invisible air currents (vertically upwards ) that will affect my otherwise verry accurate rifle. errors of up to 5cms typically 3-4cms will cause my pellets to climb as the warm humid air rises from the water.. Worse is with light wind (cross wind can be dialed out) actually disturbes these vertical currents and mixes them with downward currents that are normally not in the line of fire. Ok so im shooting at high accuracy with a diablo pellet. and getting errors that i don't expect. To confirm my suspisions I quickly set up another target at the same distance (a breeze block at 25m ) but over dry 9grass and shielded by trees. Now i get the same accuracy as indoors. in fact my second pellet hit the first and welded it's self on top. The pellets are going bang on target with amazing accuracy. So what do i conclude from this..
Usually shooting over water has little affect you can't dial out but if the conditions are such that invisible water vapour is rising from the water at a high rate ( it had been verry hot for two days) your pellets that go high and off to one side are being affected by this and it is not you or the scope that has gone mad.. You have to be getting good groups of under 2 cms at 25 meters to notice the change, But the fact is there...WATER VAPOUR WILL AFFECT THE TRAJECTORY..FACT.
shoot safely and have fun
Just to answer the post before...pellets dieseling..!!! Any pellet will diesel if you have oil on them or over lubricate the gun.
You are at fault.not the pellet. stop adding oil..Dieseling will damage seals and in pump up rifles can destroy the one way valve seal if it diesels on the pumping up of the rifle..This will require a total strip down to repair the internal seal.IS IT WORTH IT??? If you want to have more power then buy a bigger gun..
Hi just brought walther rotex r8 . Does any one no the best pellet to suit rifle . Its a 22. Many thanks
Hi To be honnest Lisa no.. Every rifle is slightly different and when sampling a type of pellet, it can take quite a few shots for the barrel to "lead in" and start giving constant results.. I reccomend you try a tin of 250 at a time and make notes of the results.Try and do all your testing indoors at 10 meters and at the same power level..around 650 fps should give you a more constant result to judge your rifles preference.
Go for a quality pellet and use a diablo shape (waisted) to get a clean hole in the target for accurate test results. Try a tin at a time, never buy three different ones and start doing test groupes from different ones, Your results will be false.
Also see what your local has a good stock of..It's annoying when you get settled in to a certain pellet then have problems getting them.
Yes annyone can say buy gamo match or h&n diablo's for example and they are an excellent starting point..but you have to search out the ones your rifle performs best with..And clean the barrel when changing pellets and fire at least 10 pellets before you start to record the results or re-zero the scope as the barrel will need to lead in from the new profile/weight/type of lead used.
Hope this helps Lisa, and you take the time to get the best from the rifle.
I own a walther lgu 2.2 I'm having trouble finding a pellet that is a snug fit I've tried Wembley accu pell bisley hn field they were all very tight the only ones that were a snug fit and very accurate was crosmans accu pell but you can no longer buy them can you help many thanks
One of our reviewers - Pete Wadeson - has recently tested the Walther LGU and he found that Air Arms Field Diablo Heavy pellets gave good results right out to 40yds.

Thai kids find free tablets hard to swallow as govt scheme hits trouble
Thailand's ambitious One Tablet Per Child project appears to have gone slightly off the rails after reports emerged that 30 per cent of devices have broken down barely a year after the initiative was begun. The government-backed project aims to put a tablet device into the hands of all school children in a bid to reduce social …
What is the point...
of distributing tablets? Their design confines the users to a consumer role. This can be useful, for sure (access to a world of literature and information). But the little extra cost to add a useful input interface (aka keyboard) might offer the 1% of creative minds the option to do something beyond consuming. Wouldn't that be the whole point of the exercise?
Re: What is the point...
I'm not sure what elementary grade 1 is but I'm guessing these kids are around five so they're not about to tap out The Great Thai novel any time soon. This is education for the 100%. Get everyone into the habit of reading as early as possible and everyone benefits including the 1%.
Re: What is the point...
You can put all the school textbooks on it rather than printing them out. The students will most likely still use pen and paper for creating things.
Re: What is the point...
The point is that tablets offer the ability to be electronic books, drawing tables, calculators, audio and video players all in one place. The paper book is no longer $$$$/child. The ability to have one tool rather than 5 means space and (presumably) cost savings.
Unless they don't work. Or run on some obscure Android release binding the children to seven levels of hell.
Buy Cheap...
Buy twice
Same old story, i must be psychic, cos i knew that would happen.
Give them all playbooks. I am sure that BB would be willing to do a deal. They are robust and capable. Not latest spec but should do everything they want them to do.
Yeah give them yesterdays stuff that no-one else wants and no-one will be using in a couple of years.
Unless you're a power user, most people could do 99% of what they need to do with any computer bought in the last ten years. At some point it's going to be the same situation for tablets too. Just how much horsepower do you need before you start focusing on what you're doing with it.
"Yeah give them yesterdays stuff that no-one else wants and no-one will be using in a couple of years."
Odd thats what happened when I was at school
I was using BBC Micros, Acorns and Amstrads when I should have been using Windows 2000 at School.
I remember the big fanfair when we got 2 PCs for the libary, to be used for 1 hour a week (on average). :P
Should have gone with iPads - probably cheaper in the long run / TCO.
Re: Sounds like Intel is spreading FUD again @Homer 1
"Sounds like Intel is spreading FUD again"
Really? Please explain how. Your "Last time" article and this seem to have no similarity.
some background from someone who lives there and followed this from the day it was announced
This was one of the major populist campaign promises they made for the 2011 general elections.
"They" being the populist PT party, effectively run by the exiled convicted felon Thaksin Shinawatra.
Reminder: him and his party got barred, which didn't stop him from getting his brother in law elected as PM, and now his little sister. The latest rumours (vigorously denied) are that his son will enter politics to succeed him, sorry her. Never mind that, they are passing a budget to allow 2 trillion bhat (about 80 billion USD) of borrowing for infrastructure investment to be repaid over 50 years.. Anyone want to guess where 10% to 30% of this money is going to end up?
Other policies they put in place where "first time car buyer tax discount" - put that in the same manifesto as "solving horrendous congestion in Bangkok" for a laugh (TS said he was going to solve this within 6 months when he got elected... 8 years ago now), the "rice price pledging scheme" which basically buys/rewards the loyal north-eastern farmers' vote. (more legal way of buying vote than outright payoffs, though those are also well documented).
Now, corruption is endemic Thailand (and pretty much everywhere in SE Asia except Singapore), and from the onset it was pretty clear that the procurement of the tablet devices (the dodgy bidding process, use of intermediaries, etc), the allocation of the funds for training, etc. that it was going to be just another of these big projects where politicians are guaranteed some new luxury cars and condominiums before anything gets signed. First the tablets were meant for Prathom-1 students (7 year olds) then they decided to change that, ... And now they've cancelled them for the southern regions (those that do not vote for PT).
Another funny thing was when they had delays (backhanders not paid yet?) and had to spend some of the school funds buying the books that the tablets were meant to replace...
Summary: shambolic project designed to win votes and steal funds, not designed to improve education standards. And guess what, the educational standards will remain abysmal.
Re: some background from someone who lives there and followed this from the day it was announced
Correct post in its entirety totaam - you must live here or have reason to know these facts, as the western MSM seems incapable of reporting them. IMHO, the sooner TS and his army of family of leeches are removed the better for all Thais and residents of Thailand.
Is that the "photo-op sock-puppet" PM used as the eye catcher for the article?
No more proof is needed as to why she is the PM. Competence, experience and intelligence were certainly not criteria.
As for the tablets, well, the idea of providing students with a tablet as a delivery medium for texts is not by definition itself a bad one, though I might dispute that it is actually a good idea at this point in time. My lad didn't get one so I am unable to report first hand on how useful and reliable (or otherwise) the tablets are.
Re: some background from someone who lives there and followed this from the day it was announced
Yes, it's technically correct. Yes, there was corruption, of course, This Is Thailand!
But come on! This has happened before under every Thai government for decades. So, for once, the government is rewarding the poor (as well of course themselves, that is a given) instead of just rewarding Bangkok.
And let's not pretend that TS is ruling secretively. It was on their election posters! And please point me to the alternative honest politicians who have only the country's best interests at heart that you would propose take over. Please remember Thailand is nominally a democracy so your proposed alternatives will need to be believable to the Thai electorate who rather like the "family of leeches".
Re: some background from someone who lives there and followed this from the day it was announced
That is a seriously illogical post and almost completely unrelated to anything, not least the post to which it purports to respond.
It's so broken I don't have time to deconstruct every fallacy in it.
Why is it "rewarding the poor" when national programs are implemented by PT and "rewarding Bangkok" when the other blokes do it?
Answer: Because it fits the stupid rhetoric of the PT apologists, of which you Mike Timbers, are clearly one.
Also, arguing that the other blokes are worse is intellectual bankruptcy of the first carat.
Re: some background from someone who lives there and followed this from the day it was announced
> So, for once, the government is rewarding the poor (as well of course themselves, that is a given) instead of just rewarding Bangkok.
Sure, and what they're doing is not all bad. The massive 50 year loan is pretty scary and soon ripe for looting, but the intent (improving infrastructure) is a worthy goal.
> And let's not pretend that TS is ruling secretively.
No one is, I'm just giving some background for those who read this article.
> And please point me to the alternative honest politicians..
I don't need to name good politicians to point out that this lot really is terrible, do I?
What good would that do to el reg readers?
Could be good for large classes?
My daughters school use tablets a lot. They have the ability to get all the smart board notes onto the device or download them from the internet.
It's not a UK school though.
This sort of thing could really help in large classes, especially if the tablet is connected to a smart board. No more peering from the back of the classroom?
a bit of deja...?
Looks a similar story in the US..
What do you think the failure rate would be with a "nice" tablet?
A 70% survival rate for tablets handed out to a bunch of 7-year-olds with the expectation that they bring them to school every day?
Those things are going to be sat on, operated with hands covered in food grease or other filth, used as both weapons and shields, dropped, lost, and submerged in water.
I bet most "nice" tablets would have a hard time getting a 70% survival rate, being handled and dragged around by first graders all day every day for a school year...
Re: What do you think the failure rate would be with a "nice" tablet?
Exactly. Probably best to buy the cheapest possible tablet, and expect to replace them frequently. It would also be less of a target for thieves than if you were handing out say iPads to every kid.
A thief could just walk up and grab a tablet from from a 7 year old if he had it out. At least with older kids the thief takes some risk that the kid might be able to fight back, and be fast enough to chase him down (though if he knows the school will replace it, he probably won't care)
Re: What do you think the failure rate would be with a "nice" tablet?
Regrettably of the tablets I started the year with I have 0 of 4 remaining functional. Kids are hard on tablets. Wireless charging would help. We will try again next year.
The fundamental issue with this generation of tablets for education is that the only thing that justifies their cost is that they "replace expensive textbooks", but textbooks are significantly more durable and take much longer to become outdated than a phone does to break in some way. The average iPhone user is on the upper end of the middle class and a young adult and even still, 25% have broken screens. Now you're giving devices that are bigger and more cheaply made to children with no means to fix them themselves. So you know at LEAST 25% will break, most likely many more. The only option at this point is to have free repairs, which promotes carelessness. Or leaving them broken, defeating the purpose of the program in the first place. This is before you even factor in devices getting stolen, which I'm sure happens quite a bit when thieves know that literally every student has a tablet in their bag. In a few years when you can get a $50 dual core tablet with a plastic screen, that's when this will become viable.

SCHROON LAKE A special awards ceremony highlighted the February meeting of the Schroon Lake Senior Citizens Club. Lifetime members were recognized and presented certificates by past club president Lorraine Erikson and current president Kate Huston. These special members will no longer have to pay club dues. Five of the six lifetime members were present at the meeting. They have all been members for at least 20 years and are over 80 years old. They are Flora Whitty, Ginny Murdock, Ed Haroff, Rosemary Haroff and Clara Connell. Anna Gregoire was not able to be present. Also recognized was Alma Joss, a charter member who currently resides in Florida. Lt. John Rowan, recently deceased, was also mentioned as a founding father of the club. Charlotte Rowe and Marion Stowell were declared lifetime members in 1998 when the resolution was first passed. It is important to recognize these people who have longevity of membership in an organization. Attaining an age with dignity is very important to seniors, Erikson said. These lifetime members are all active in the club. They participate in the nutrition program, play bridge, write their memoirs, enjoy doing puzzles. February club activities included a van trip to the Wilton Mall, a Valentine party with live music by Bernie Fredericks, and a trip to the Lake Placid Center for the Arts for a matinee performance of Sylvia. A box is still out at the center where donations can be placed for service people in Iraq. Ten boxes were mailed out in December. Member John Huston informed the group that volunteers will be needed in the future to help carry out the master plan being formulated by the Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce to protect the lakes watershed from invasive plant and animal species. The meetings speaker was Ruth Robinson of Schroon Lake who described her work with Dan Wallace of Minerva. Over the past several years the pair have planted thousands of spring flowering bulbs on 35-45 acres of wood lot that Wallace has been clearing. They are doing it all by hand and though it is hard work, the rewards are great. Take care of the woods and the Adirondacks, and they will take care of you, said Robinson.
