Gun Reviews from My Gun Culture
We test and evaluation a lot of guns to help our readers make more informed decisions. In our gun reviews, we always try to focus on those attributes that you normally can't get from magazines and quick product mentions. How does it feel? How does it operate with various types of appropriate ammunition? How is it to carry for extended periods? Is it compatible with accessories like lights and lasers?
As always, we try to bring you this information with a small dose of fun. Shooting safely IS fun after all...
A Beautiful Beretta: The New 692 Sporting B-Fast Over/Under Shotgun
On this, the 3rd day of October 1526. [To] Master Bartolomeo Beretta of the Brescian territory of Gardone for 185 arquebus barrels [made] for Our House of the Arsenal [given] 296 ducati. So begins the history of the world's oldest gun maker - Beretta. By the way, in 1526, 296 ducati was a lot of Benjamins. While it's pretty hard to make an inflation-adjusted comparison, we know that Leonardo … [Continue this gun review]
FNH Makes A Competition Shotgun? The FNH SC-1 Competition Over/Under
FN. It's a little confusing if you've been around a while. Is FN the same as Browning? What's Herstal? What's FNH? Is that different than Fabrique Nationale? Should John Browning win a Nobel Prize? Are Belgian waffles all they're cracked up to be? Let's answer these questions with a simple history review. In 1889 Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre (FN) was formed for the sole purpose of … [Continue this gun review]
Beretta's ARX100: A Quick Tour
I've never watched the Transformers movies, but if my understanding is correct, those flicks were about 1974 AMC Gremlins morphing into deep fried banana splits, thereby earning free admission to the Texas State Fair. Or something along those lines. Even if I'm a bit off in my understanding of the Transformers plot, you have to admit the idea of effortless transformation on demand … [Continue this gun review]
Beretta's ARX100: A Closer Look
If you made me describe one thought about the Beretta ARX100, it would be something along the lines of "ambi-flex-trous." Yes, you can easily reconfigure this rifle in all sorts of ways, which we'll discuss in a minute, but the interesting thing is you can do all of it with a bullet. Macho, isn't it? So far, I have yet to use a single tool of any kind for reconfiguration. Well, there was one … [Continue this gun review]
Sig Sauer's Single Action Sensation: The P226 Elite SAO
I like action. Who doesn't? Single action. Traditional double action. Double action only. Striker-fired action. I like 'em all. But I especially like single action handguns. Having only one thing to do, release the hammer, single actions tend to be easier to shoot accurately. Repeatable accuracy leads to confidence, and confidence is something I want in spades if I'm carrying a gun for … [Continue this gun review]
Beretta's ARX100: A Lesson In Flexibility
There's ambidextrous, and there's ambidextrous. Some rifles have safety levers on one side, or at least a safety lever that can be relocated to the opposite side of the frame. Others might have a way to move the magazine release button or even bolt release to the opposite side. The Beretta ARX100 takes configuration flexibility to a whole new level. I just got my hands on a sample … [Continue this gun review]
A Big Little Surprise From Smith & Wesson: The New M&P22 Compact Pistol
Yeah, I know, .22LR ammo is impossible to find. But the situation is getting better, and this fun new pistol comes with a starting supply of ammunition - 222 rounds of Winchester to be exact. Yep, it's your birthday! If you keep up with the .22LR pistol market, you know that Smith & Wesson announced the original M&P22 .22LR pistol way back in 2011. Technically, the original model … [Continue this gun review]
Sig Sauer's P226 Elite SAO: Love Child of the 1911 and P226?
There's no doubt about the Sig P226's status as a reliable and quality handgun. After all, hard-core gun users like Navy Seals and Texas Rangers use the P226, or in the military's case, the MK25. Like most of the other Sig Sauer "P" models, the standard P226 is a hammer-fired, double / single action design. The first shot requires a 10-pound trigger pull to cock the hammer and break … [Continue this gun review]
We Test The New Smith & Wesson M&P22 Compact
Getting home and tearing open Smith & Wesson M&P22 Compact box, my very first impression was, "Oh snap!" The next thought that crossed my mind was that this gun won't be out of the box for six seconds before I'm compelled to attach a silencer. A SilencerCo Sparrow would be an excellent fit. The compact size just screams harmony and balance with the diminutive SilencerCo Sparrow. I love … [Continue this gun review]
A Look At The Beretta 1301 Tactical Shotgun
I recently got my hot little hands on a Beretta 1301 Tactical shotgun. After checking out the floor model at the 2014 NRA Annual Meeting, I decided I had to have one. Why? Because it handles like a shotgun carbine. If you've shot short, light weight and compact rifles, then you know exactly what I mean. Now envision those attributes in a shotgun and you've got the Beretta 1301 … [Continue this gun review]
Beretta 1301 Tactical Shotgun Review: A "Carbine" Shotgun
Have you ever shot an M1 Garand, followed by an M1 Carbine? Or perhaps a FAL, followed by a Ruger 10/22? Or maybe a full size over and under 12 gauge, followed by a compact coach gun? If so, then you already have an idea of the relative feel of the Beretta 1301 Tactical shotgun. What attracted me to this gun for testing and evaluation is its compact size, light weight and super quick … [Continue this gun review]
The 6.8 Remington SPC: An Up Close and Personal Look
I love the AR platform. And yes, it is a platform as it's a design model that allows of near infinite customization. You can add accessories until your rifle looks like a Pakistani Jingle Truck. More importantly, since the rifle is a platform, you can obtain or build one in a dozen or more different calibers. One of my favorites is 6.8 Remington SPC. Originally developed as a … [Continue this gun review]
Gun Review: Daniel Defense DDM4v5 300 AAC Blackout AR Rifle
Some phrases are just fightin' words. "That's MY horse!" "That's MY daughter!" "I love the 300 Blackout!" For some reason, virtually any gunny discussion about the 300 AAC Blackout cartridge quickly devolves into a typing wind sprint where the winner itemizes more reasons why the 300 Blackout is not as good as (fill in your favorite cartridge here.) Due to the unique performance … [Continue this gun review]
Gun of the Day: What's Wrong with This Picture?
I went shooting with friend and fellow gun writer William yesterday afternoon and he brought along the un-possible. Here's a Ruger Vaquero. No big deal, they're pretty common. If you haven't seen one, they're beautiful single action pistols. I was a little surprised as Williams is a complete and total .40 S&W caliber nut. He doesn't own anything that's not chambered in .40 S&W. While he … [Continue this gun review]
Gun Review: Smith & Wesson's 1911TA eSeries
There's always something appealing about a nice 1911. While carrying a full size, all steel 1911 isn't always fun, shooting one sure is. This particular eSeries model is a blend of traditional and modern innovation. Like the origin government model, it's got a 5 inch barrel, single stack .45 ACP magazine and single action trigger. Unlike the original, it features Tritium night sights, tactical … [Continue this gun review]
Gun Review: Browning Citori 725 Feather Over & Under Shotgun
There are times when a heavier shotgun is nice to have—the trap or clays course, for example, where you'll be popping off a hundred or so 12-gauge shells and have ample opportunity to set your (heavy) gun down. And there are other times when lugging around a gun that weighs the same as a gallon of house paint really, really hurts. The primary design idea behind the Browning Citori 725 … [Continue this gun review]
Fun and Games with the .257 Weatherby Magnum
I've got a thing for the more unusual calibers. Probably because I'm a reloading addict. I just don't care that commercial rounds of .300 AAC Blackout cost over a buck each. Or that .357 Sig pistol ammo is crazy expensive relative to 9mm. Or that no one stocks 6.8 SPC ammo. I don't know why, but these oddball cartridges are some of my favorites. When I had a chance to start some serious … [Continue this gun review]
Smith & Wesson's M&P 15 VTAC Rifle: A Review One Year Later
Most gun reviews allow for a short acclimation period, a couple hundred rounds at the range and a rushed story and photos to meet an editorial deadline. We thought it might be interesting to do a "one year later" review on a gun - just to see how it holds up over time and use. While announced by Smith & Wesson all the way back in their 2009 new products catalog, I picked up the M&P VTAC I … [Continue this gun review]
The Springfield Armory XD-S 9mm and .45: Same But Different
Since the early 12th century, gun writers and internet ninja commandos have been arguing about which handgun cartridge is better - the 9mm or the .45 ACP. Guess what? There is no right answer to that question! I love them both! You see, with the Springfield Armory XD-S you can choose your favorite caliber, 9mm or .45 ACP, and get the same compact size and great features. They're essentially … [Continue this gun review]
The Automatic, Systematic, Hydromatic M3 "Grease Gun"
This week, rather than talk about "This Goofy Gun" we're going to change things up a little and take a look at "This Greasy Gun." Most folks think that the M3 "Grease Gun" submachine gun of World War II fame was created in response to the success of the German MP38, MP40 and British Sten machine guns. While partly true, that's not the whole story. Here's the rest of the storied, and musical, … [Continue this gun review]
10 Things I Like About the Smith & Wesson M&P 9 Shield
Much has been said about the Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm Shield. A true pocket-sized 9mm, it's smaller in almost all dimensions (except height) than a Glock 26 and can easily be concealed in a milliondy-seven different ways. Pocket, inside the waistband or outside the waistband holster, ankle, purse, fanny pack, crotch carry holster, you name it. The less-than-one-inch width goes a long way to … [Continue this gun review]
Gun Review: Rock River Arms 6.8 SPC CAR Rifle
When .223 just isn't enough... Contrary to that provocative opening line, I'm not going to embark on a "nyah, nyah, nyha, this caliber is more betterer or less betterer" than some other. Instead, I'm going to take this opportunity to celebrate diversity. You know, like hippies. One of the reasons that the AR or MSR (Modern Sporting Rifle) platform is so insanely popular is because it's … [Continue this gun review]
This Goofy Gun: The Vampire Hunter's Colt Detective Special
Thanks to the miracle of Blu-ray, we know a lot about vampires. They kill with good looks, are notoriously hard to make re-dead, and they never seem to know when to stop making sequels. With vrykolakas outbreaks on the rise, how does one prepare to defend self and family? The Robert E. Peterson Gallery of the NRA's National Firearms Museum just might have the perfect solution. The Vampire … [Continue this gun review]
This Goofy Gun: The Winchester 9410
Today's pop quiz! What do the following have in common? Ben Cartwright John Moses Browning Saiga-12 Auto Shotguns Give up? It's the Winchester 9410 lever-action shotgun! Admittedly, the Cartwright clan had access to guns from the future, as they shot an awful lot of Winchester 1892's, which is only two different than the 1894 design we're talking about here. Close enough. For … [Continue this gun review]
Gun Review: Springfield Armory M1A Standard Rifle
Springfield Armory M1A Standard Rifle This rifle is beast. Not a beast. Just beast. If you have teenage kids, you might have already heard things like video games, high school athletes and cars described as "beast." Apparently it's a subtle, yet cool, form of praise. Kids these days don't generally describe praise-worthy things as "richly robust with just the proper hint of panache." The … [Continue this gun review]

Georgetown Football Prepares for Spring Game and Post-Season Banquet
Michael Cimilluca and Javan Robinson talk about the end of spring ball
Recruits: Pennsylvania, Northern Ohio, Wisconsin, Delaware. Michael Neuberger was named to the offensive coordinator for the Georgetown football program in March 2014.
Neuberger, who coached running backs and tight ends at Cornell in 2013, returns to the Hilltop, where he coached wide receivers in 2012.
"The Hoya Football Family is very excited to welcome Michael Neuberger back the Hilltop," Georgetown Head Football Coach Rob Sgarlata said. "Michael is an excellent teacher who relates well to our student-athletes. He brings a positive and enthusiastic energy to the office every day and I am sure that will translate to success for our offense."
Neuberger will take the reins on offense, while working with the Hoyas' wide receivers and tight ends.
Last season at Cornell, Neuberger worked with running backs and tight ends, helping Luke Hagy earn All-Ivy League Honorable Mention recognition, while Ty Bostain led Ivy League tight ends in receptions (29) and finished third at his position in receiving yardage (262).
In 2012 with the Hoyas, Neuberger's wide receivers averaged 12.11 yards per catch and accounted for seven touchdowns, while helping develop Kevin Macari into a Second Team All-Patriot League selection.
At Columbia, Neuberger served as the tight ends coach in 2011, where he assisted in the offensive game plan development, while also serving as the scout team coordinator for defense and special teams. During his season at Columbia, Neuberger developed sophomore tight end Hamilton Garner into an All-Ivy League honorable mention selection.
Prior to his season with the Lions, Neuberger spent two seasons as a graduate assistant coach at the University of Maryland. Neuberger worked with running backs in 2009 and with the offensive line in 2010, where he was an integral part of the second-largest turnaround in the FBS, helping the Terrapins improve by seven wins from its previous season. Neuberger worked with the 2010 Maryland offensive line that helped produce 32.23 points per game, the 30th-best mark in the nation. He also worked with the fourth best punt return unit in the nation that averaged 16.94 yards per return, featuring First Team All-ACC selection Tony Logan.
Neuberger spent two seasons, from 2007-09 as an assistant football coach at University of Dayton, where he worked with tight ends, slot receivers and offensive lineman. At Dayton, Neuberger helped in the team's development and implementation of the spread offense, while coaching AP Second Team All-America tight end Matt Champa. His work helped the Flyers rank fifth in the nation in passing (299.50 yards per game) and sixth in the nation in scoring (38.83 points per game).
He earned his start in coaching at Dayton where he started as a student assistant coach and strength and conditioning assistant directly following his playing days in June 2004. In his first season he worked primarily with defensive backs, before shifting his focus to tight ends and offensive linemen as a football graduate assistant from 2005-07.
Neuberger, a Pittsburgh, Pa. native, played four seasons from 2001-2004 in the secondary and on special teams at Dayton. He was a member of two Pioneer Football League championship teams, while helping the Flyers win its first I-AA Mid-Major national championship in 2002. He was a two-time member of the PFL Academic Honor Roll.
He graduated from Dayton with a bachelor of science in education and allied professions in 2005. Neuberger lives with his wife, Ashlyn in Fulton, Md.

I'm not sure how the progesterone would affect temps either. Some women have higher temps on it while some maintain their normal temp range. I would definitely test with an HPT before stopping it just to be on the safe side. I love good excuses to POAS! FX for you!
|Tue, 11-13-2012 - 12:59am
Hi Kristy, good news about the temps staying up. I have totally fx into cramps for you but I think waiting to test for a day or so is a really good idea, just enjoy.
My goodness that must have been so hard living in the two separate cities, you guys are amazing it is really hard and lonely not being together, and it must have been more so in the early stages of your marriage. How did you find the time to make 4 beautiful cherubs?!!!lol
My dh is away for about a week at the beginning of each calendar month and then sporadically through the week depending on how business is going. It does get difficult as it is a little bit unpredictable, it means home life can be disjointed but I work hard to keep it consistent for little ds. Dh is now away until thursday but hopefully that will be the last trip until beginning of december.
I wanted also to say, even though its probably too late, I really hope hurricane Sandy didn't get or affect you. I was thinking about you when the images hit the news.
wishing you well and sending lots of positive vibes.
|Tue, 11-13-2012 - 12:45am
Hi Vickie, truly and really not too many questions at all and guess what, before I came onto this board I was on the november roll call, and have asked you heaps of questions!!lol I think we both woke up with heaps of questions!
I put my temps into ff today and it looks like (according to ff at least) that I did ovulate, I really thought I was out this month, and even better it seems dh was home at exactly the right moment!! even if it was just for a moment!! He will be back in 3 days so your hug was just what the doctor ordered!!
I am going to take the progesterone for 10 days and Im too scared to go any less in case (tmi warning) the bleeding starts again, I actually cant imagine this cycle being a positive one due to the progesterone but am hoping my ff chart is right and I did O but is that possible 26 days through a cycle?? It seems very late to me.
When you ask should I test before stopping the progesterone do you mean an OPK or a HCG test? I hadn't actually thought about it. Do you think it a good idea before stopping it? I so hope I stop having these really long cycles.
I had forgotten about Hurricane Sandy, and I do ask in the Nov roll call but I hope you weren't too damaged or affected by it. I was shocked by the images of it.
|Mon, 11-12-2012 - 7:18am
Krista-YAY for your temp staying high. I know it's hard not to test but I think you will have a great line tomorrow. Are you getting betas done? I can't remember if you are on progesterone or not? Every pregnancy is different so maybe your symptoms are just being kind to you right now.
Wow, I don't know how you managed with hubby gone for so long. I try to send mine away for the day sometimes but I thank God he is home every night except for the occasional weekend trip.
|Mon, 11-12-2012 - 7:10am
Thanks Ava I didn't test this morning--I figure I'll just temp and wait a few more days. My temp is still high, so that is good, but I don't have any increasing pregnancy symptoms either. I'm just going to try to enjoy knowing that I am pregnant today, and not worry about tomorrow.
Sorry about DH leaving! Is he traveling for work? How often does he go? Big hugs for you and your little kiddo! My husband doesn't travel now, but did for several years of our marriage; in fact, the first two years, I lived in Dallas and he lived in St. Louis, MO for one year and Washington DC for another. That was no fun! Hope your DH gets to come home soon!
|Mon, 11-12-2012 - 7:09am
Ava! A giant HUG for you too! Glad hubby was home to "play". Sorry he has gone again. Is that a possible O on your chart or an implantaton dip from O before? How long will you take the progesterone? Are you suppposed to test before stopping it? Sorry, I woke up with lots of questions!
|Mon, 11-12-2012 - 5:54am
Kristy, big hugs its still very early so Im still fx for you.
Hi Vickie big hugs to you too!
aaaw big hugs for me too, dh came home and now away again.
|Sun, 11-11-2012 - 8:40am
Thanks so much Vickie You are right--I shouldn't test everyday, but I guess I'm obsessed with "the line"! Lol! I tested again this morning and the line is almost gone I'm guessing I'll start AF soon as it looks like the HCG is decreasing and now is barely there. On the plus side, my temps are still up...14dpo... FF says my fertile period for the next cycle is over Thanksgiving break which would be perfect, so I'm hoping this cycle doesn't mess the next one up.

Debian or Ubuntu for server
I decided to switch from Fedora to Debian based distro. I'm wondering which distro should I use for my ISPconfig based server? Debian or Ubuntu?
I'm pretty satisfied with Ubuntu 6.06 on my notebook but I read somewhere that Ubuntu is based on unstable Debian packages, is therefore Ubuntu proper choice for server, but on the other hand Debian isn't updated so often or is it?
Any thoughts are welcome.
I'd rather recommend Debian Sarge 3.1 as it uses only "stable stable" packages... Ubuntu uses newer ones.
However if you are willing to wait until the end of the year, then the next debian stable version will be released (I think)...
I would prefer Debian stable (Sarge) for a server and Ubuntu for a desktop.

Le Mont-Saint-Michel
Tips from real users who've been to Mont Saint-Michel
Mont Saint-Michel
TelephoneSave Share your experience
One of the Most Incredible Places in ...
The spot where the abbey was built is really cool. I saw it in pictures for the first time, and I told myself I had to see it with my own eyes. When I actually visited the reality far exceeded any photo I had seen before. It was a magical place indeed. As you go through the door you enter the Middle Ages. Don't miss it for the world!
You simply have to see it
Mont Saint Michel is one of those places that's difficult to describe, so you just simple have to see it. Go there and let yourself be inspired! The island's silhouette on the horizon draws you in from miles away...the feeling of attraction is indescribable.
If you're visiting Brittany or Normandy, you absolutely MUST see this fantastic place.
If you're visiting Brittany or Normandy, you absolutely MUST see this fantastic place.
A fascinating place
This one of the most impressive places I've ever been to. You can see all the photos and videos in the world, but there's nothing that compares to seeing it in real life. It's incredible how the tides rush back and forth and cover everything. It's a shame, though, that it can get so crowded...I'd suggest going in the off season to enjoy this magical place without so many stressful crowds.
It's incredible!
It's incredible!
Comming back to the present from Mont...
Makes you think of simpler times when people had time to contemplate living and not simply hurrying through life.

DO: You've been very candid about your drug use. What role did drugs play in this record?
MM: Ummm...I don't think it was something that was like any of the other records. There was a period of self-destruction in the past, periods of excess. At this point we were being very experimental, so if drugs were involved they were generally...absinthe, if that can be called a drug, was the one thing I found most useful. I don't write, particularly lyrics, any other way than completely coherent, because I can't focus what I'm trying to say. But while recording the music and working with the band there were times when I wanted to let the subconscious work, and that's where things like that come in handy. But we were very inspired and very prolific, so this record wasn't difficult to create, just time-consuming, because there were so many layers to it.
DO: What would you say is the most conservative thing about you?
MM: Showering? I don't get the paper. I don't like coffee. The smell of it reminds me of my parents, which reminds me of getting up for school and it makes me upset. I don't know. I have two dogs. I love animals. And I have a lot of taxidermied animals. I don't think I could take having my own dogs [taxidermied]. That would make me sad. They're like kids to me. Although I probably will have myself stuffed, because when I'm gone, I still want to make people suffer by looking at me. [Laughter]

This is ...my pet
In reality, this is the one who owns us, but if you have a pet you already know that. If you don't have a pet, then consider who owns who....carefully. This is Sebastian, our Lilacpoint Siamese. He's "mature", 16 I think.
He was one of a pair of brothers we got from a family who were giving the two away. the couple had had 3 boys in 5 yrs, and were expecting boy #4. The cats didn't stand a chance...tho the couple had doted on them for 5 years pre children.
The two boys were inseperable, i.e. Felix would not leave Sebastian alone, and was always grooming him and fussing over him. The vet told us Sebastian was a ...gasp!..poor groomer. Well, he might have been less than diligent about his grooming but it turned out he was diabetic. Sigh. Felix flew away to live with another catlover who was desperate for a cat, and we began the twice daily insulin shots.
He was not happy when we renovated the kitchen - 14 months of bedlam.
Sebastian has now 'outgrown' his diabetes, but I believe it was the energy work I did on him. Whatever, the shots are history, and he is a happily aging cat who tolerates me and loves my dh.
This is most of his life these days.He is happiest asleep on dh's lap while dh reads. Not a shabby way of life...
There are more pets to see on Threebuttons list. Have a look at the blogroll of This is...

Sebastian appears to be leading a wonderfully cosy life. I think Siamese cats are gorgeous - if only my husband wasn't allergic to cats. Funny though whenever we go somewhere with cats they always head straight up to him and snuggle up!

Lovely cat. We always had dogs because my sister was allergic to cats, but I always loved visiting friends with cats. Having a cat nap on your lap is so special.

Oh yes, I know the feeling of being owned by a cat.
They sound like a lovely duo though I am sure Sebastian also enjoys being the only one around.

Mill, sadly it's a lot more common with Siamese...too highly bred I guess. We were tipped off by the woman who took Felix; she had bred Siamese in prior years.

lol "poor groomer" that cracks me up!!! I didn't realise you can grow out of diabetics....or is that a special cat skill?

He's so beautiful. I love Siamese and the lilac colour is gorgeous. It's great to be owned by a cat - no pleasure quite like it in the world.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 4 nights
The Flat at Library Court is a rowhouse in the historic district with a completely renovated interior and all new furnishings decorated with Washington D.C. flair. You'll enjoy expansive views of the stately Library of Congress, which is directly across the street. The house backs to Library Court, a 300 year old historic cobblestone street built in the days of horse-drawn buggies.
Why you can't beat our location: Capitol Hill is a historic residential neighborhood that stretches from the U.S. Capitol, and Pennsylvania Ave, the main corridor, emanates from the Capitol beginning at 2nd Street. We are one block away on 3rd St – the first residential block from the Capitol. The further you get (4th Street, 5th, 6th and so on), the less desirable and less safe the areas become, and the longer your walk to the sites. This is truly as good and as close as it gets! Don't talk yourself into staying blocks away…
• 1 Block or Less: U.S. Supreme Court, Library of Congress (across the street), Folger (Shakespeare) Theatre
• Within 2 to 3 blocks: U.S. Capitol, U.S. Capitol Visitor Center, Cannon House Office Building, Capitol Mall, U.S. Botanical Garden, South Capital Metro station.
• Tour Bus: The Circulator Tour Bus picks up one block away but most of what you'll want to see is within a short walk.
• Dining 1 Block or Less: We the Pizza; Good Stuff Eatery (President Obama's favorite hamburger), Cosi (sandwiches, soups and salads), Starbucks, Sonoma Restaurant and Wine Bar, Hunan Dynasty, Hawk N Dove; Capitol Hill Liquor and Deli
• Stores 1-2 Blocks: Corner Market Grocery Store, Grubb's Care Pharmacy, Gandel's Liquor, Riverby Books.
The Courtyard Apartment
The Courtyard Apartment of the Flat at Library Court is a two story unit with 3 bedrooms and 3 ½ bathrooms, a private courtyard and expansive views of the stately Library of Congress. The kitchen is fully stocked and the unit has wi-fi, cable TV and central air conditioning/heat.
• Main Level: On the main level, you'll find an expansive kitchen/great room with views of the Library of Congress. The kitchen is fully equipped and has a breakfast bar and large dining table and it opens to the living room with a sleeper sofa and flat screen TV. Behind the great room is a half bathroom, washer and drier, and a master suite with a king size bed and full bathroom, including a tub. The hallway provides access to the private courtyard for relaxation after a busy day of touring the Capitol and quiet al fresco dining; it backs to the historic cobblestone court.
• Lower Level: On the lower level, there are two bedrooms and two full bathrooms: one bedroom has a queen size bed and its own bathroom and the third bedroom has two twin beds and full bath.
Capitol Hill is the largest historic residential neighborhood in Washington D.C., stretching easterly in front of the United States Capitol along wide avenues. It is one of the oldest residential communities in Washington D.C.
As a geographic feature, Capitol Hill rises near the center of the District of Columbia and extends eastward. The Capitol Hill neighborhood today straddles two quadrants of the city, Southeast and Northeast, and a large portion is now designated as the Capitol Hill historic district. The name Capitol Hill is often used to refer to both the historic district and to the larger neighborhood around it.
Capitol Hill's landmarks include not only the United States Capitol, but also the Senate and House office buildings, the Supreme Court building, the Library of Congress, the Marine Barracks, the Washington Navy Yard, and Congressional Cemetery.
The main non-residential corridor of Capitol Hill is Pennsylvania Avenue, a lively commercial street with shops, restaurants and bars. Eastern Market is an 1873 public market on 7th Street SE, where vendors sell fresh meat and produce in indoor stalls and at outdoor farmers' stands. It is also the site of an outdoor flea market every weekend. Please look at our other properties 3550803 and 913567 with homeaway.com in Capitol Hill area.
Bob and Kaye Finn are the reservation and web site managers for this property. Bob is a retired District Judge from Nebraska and Kaye is retired from Nebraska Public Power District.
This property served as a parsonage for many years until it was sold in 2012. The house is being completely renovated.
The location of this property is what makes it unique. It couldn't be more perfect for visitors to Washington, DC, Government personel visiting and others wishing to experience the Nations Capital..

Newcastle striker Demba Ba admits a possible move to Arsenal is "tempting", with his escape clause set to be re-activated in January's window.
Magpies boss Alan Pardew has become increasingly frustrated in recent weeks with continued speculation over the 27-year-old and his contract situation.
The Senegal forward, who has bagged 11 goals this season, has a condition in his contract which had to be activated by July by any club wanting to take advantage of it.
This failed to happen in the summer, meaning that while the current deal remains in place, the £7.5m buy-out clause will continue to be activated during each transfer window.
Ba, whose current deal at St James' Park expires in 2014, will not have pleased his boss with his latest comments ahead of the January window.
"It is true that Arsenal are among the clubs that are tempting," Ba said.
"Journalists are doing their job, they know Arsenal need strikers and they know I have a clause in my contract so they start speculating."
Newcastle will be desperate to cling on to their prized possession as they sit uncomfortably two points above the drop zone having lost six times in their last seven games.
Pardew told Sky Sports last week: "The clause is always hanging over us and it makes it difficult for us, the club and him. We accept that and that's the way football is."
Newcastle will be looking to bounce back from the 3-1 defeat by Premier League champions Manchester City last week when they host struggling QPR at the weekend.
"Next Saturday is QPR, and at the slightest mistake the crowd will become very demanding," Ba added.
"If we repeat the same performance we put in last weekend I think it will be enough. You shouldn't forget that we played the reigning champions.
"It bothers me a bit when the team doesn't create much, because football is about beautiful play.
"People come to the stadium to watch good football and not to watch long balls from the goalie to the striker."

U.S. News Review
Located about 20 minutes from the Red Rock Canyon, the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa is a popular spot for those who want to visit the Vegas away from the Strip. Sprawling across 50 acres, the property allows ample opportunities for guests to unwind with a game of golf at the nearby Tournament Players Club Golf Course or with a decadent chocolate scrub at the Aquae Sulis Spa located steps from the casino floor. And if retreating from the casino floor means finding solace in your room, you'll find spacious accomodations with a marble bathroom, a whirlpool and a 40-inch flat-screen TV. Although some guests gripe about the 20-minute drive to the Strip, most recent travelers consider this Marriott property's distance to be the main perk.

U.S. regulators plan an extensive study of blood-pressure drugs that generate almost 40 million prescriptions a year, after receiving thousands of complaints from doctors and patients.
A top U.S. regulator is discrediting research published a year ago that found impurities in dozens of generic heart drugs made overseas, saying the investigators contaminated the samples during their testing.
The Food and Drug Administration hasn't approved Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd.'s generic version of Pfizer Inc.'s $10.7 billion Lipitor cholesterol pill, Sandy Walsh, a spokeswoman for the agency, said.
Valinda Parrish talks to her 60- year-old husband like a doting mother speaks to a child. "I am going to go outside for a little bit," she tells him. "Use your horn if you need me."
A widely publicized warning by U.S. regulators a decade ago about risks for teenagers taking antidepressants led to plummeting prescriptions and increased suicide attempts, Harvard University researchers said.
Generic drugs that make up almost 80 percent of U.S. prescriptions are being tested in the first widespread safety and quality evaluation run by the Food and Drug Administration.
Johnson & Johnson 's Risperdal and Eli Lilly & Co. 's Zyprexa are among more than 20 antipsychotic drugs that U.S. regulators said may pose risks to newborns when taken by mothers during pregnancy.
"The warnings on the drugs do not say not to treat depression."

text: Adult Winter Reading Program: 1940s Titles Hollow City by Ransom Riggs (1940s) This second installment of the Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series pickups up immediately where the first left off. The action is fast paced and storyline intriguing as the children face the horrors of the war accompanied with the hunters after them while trying to help their beloved teacher and mentor. -- Added by ldmccormick on 02/06/2014 Add Comment The Book Thief by Markus Zusak (1940s) This is a Holocaust-era story, set in 1940's Germany, intended as a young readers' novel, and recently made into a movie. I found this book particularly interesting because it is narrated by Death, which offers an interesting point of view. I especially liked that Death is able to foreshadow, saying things like, "Don't worry. I'm not here for (character) yet." There was no need to skip ahead to find out if things would end well or badly... the reader already knows. -- Added by Zivah on 02/06/2014 Add Comment Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys (1940s) Categorized as a youth book for grades 6 to 8, a very informative historical fiction work. The book tells the story of a Lithuanian family that is deported by the Soviet secret police and ultimately sent to Siberia where they are kept for 15 years. Told from the perspective of the young girl, an artist, that records her surroundings and people through drawings. It is a heart wrenching story of survival during a time of history often forgotten. I enjoyed the book. -- Added by kcheesman on 02/04/2014 Add Comment The Catcher in the Rye by Jerome David Salinger (1940s) A Fun easy book to read that is about thoughts and ideas we all probably had in high school or/and college -- Added by firstname.lastname@example.com on 02/04/2014 Add Comment The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult (1940s) Heart-wrenching tale of a granddaughter's search to find the truth about an old man's revelation that he was an SS offer at Auschwitz. This tale told from several character's perspective is riveting. -- Added by booklover14 on 02/03/2014 Add Comment 1984 by George Orwell (1940s) Not what I expected but an interesting read nonetheless. Truly a classic that spans time. -- Added by hden06 on 02/01/2014 Add Comment Anne Frank by Melissa Müller (1940s) Really the story of who Anne was--not so much about her circumstances but of her as a person. -- Added by GuineaPigMama on 01/30/2014 Add Comment Red Blood, Black Sand by Chuck Tatum (1940s) I wanted to read an actual account of the battle of Iwo Jima because my uncle was also a part of it. It was really interesting to me. I strongly recommend it to all who want a true understanding of this event that is a big part of America's heritage. -- Added by Joan on 01/29/2014 Add Comment Princess Elizabeth's Spy by Susan Elia MacNeal (1940s) I found this book very interesting and captivating. I kept hoping I could check out the book format so I didn't have to wait for the reader to get to the end. Please don't misunderstand. I actually liked the reader but I wanted to know the end quicker. I assume this book is a work of fiction but I liked that she used real life events and wove the story around them. Who knows? It could have happened. Anything is possible and with all of the secrets of WWII, it might have. I will definately read the next one in the series. I'm hooked. -- Added by Roundaboutgirl on 01/29/2014 Add Comment The Book Thief by Markus Zusak (1940s) This book was amazing! The creative way in which it was narrated was like nothing I have ever read. The character development was done so well that I felt like I was saying goodbye to people I knew. -- Added by jacks1997 on 01/29/2014 Add Comment The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks (1940s) Two simple, sweet love stories that eventually intertwine. Not very realistic, but easy to read. -- Added by natashaelise on 01/29/2014 Add Comment Hell's Guest by Glenn Frazier (1940s) Colonel Glenn Frazier, featured in Ken Burns' PBS documentary "The War" is a living testament to the horrors of WWII -- and to the power of forgiveness. -- Added by OneMoreChapter on 01/28/2014 Add Comment The Book Thief by Markus Zusak (1940s) Great Book and the writing style is very unique. The narrator is Death which can be confusing at first if you don't know in advance. I highly recommend this book. -- Added by Jean P on 01/28/2014 Add Comment The Final Storm by Jeff Shaara (1940s) Jeff Shaara has written about the ending of the Second World War with lots of great characters. It was easy to read. I was amazed with the stories about the transferring of the atom bomb. judy -- Added by firstname.lastname@example.com on 01/27/2014 Add Comment Shadow of the Bomb by Robert Goldsborough (1940s) By the author of Nero Wolfe stories (follow-ons to Rex Stout's), it is set at the time and in the place of the development of the atomic bombs. -- Added by 6thgenhoosier on 01/27/2014 Add Comment Previous Next

|I live in the Los Angeles area. I just purchased a mango tree, a larger one in a 24" box. I was told it was a 'Criollo.' I cannot find any information on this type of mango tree. Does it go by another name? I did find an association with the turpentine mango and a petacĂłn. The same?
Follow-Up Postings:
|Hi Dylan,
According to the link below, you mango Criollo is a petacĂłn. I hope it will give you at least a pair of nice petacones :-)
Here is a link that might be useful: Mango PetacĂłn
|I read that as well. Not exactly a wealth of information though. I find it hard to believe it would not have more information listed with all the the other varieties unless it had a more common name here in the US. So far I have that it's also called petacĂłn/paraĂso in Mexico and that it's what Haagen Dazs uses for their ice cream.
- Posted by tropicdude (My Page) on Sun, Apr 21, 13 at 3:11
|"Criollo" is a generic term for any "local" or ""national" variety. for example in the DR we have a Aquacate Criollo, this is not really a cultivar, but just a common seedling, this is not to say that your "Criollo" is not a cultivar variety, but what one country calls is Criollo, may be a completely different variety in another country.
|Thank you. This clears up a lot. There is a lot of conflicting info and pictures and now I know why. When I purchased the tree I was told the mangoes were similar what was available commercially and that it was a producer. My main concern was the quality of fruit i was going to get. I'll try to get more info from the nursery but barring that I don't believe I'll have to wait to long, the tree came covered with flowers and little budding mangoes.
- Posted by tropicdude (My Page) on Mon, Apr 22, 13 at 12:35
|Cool, that it has little mangoes, you will know soon how good the tree is.
as they say, "the proof's is in the pudding" . One mans favorite may be another mans bane.
Anyway, this is just a guess on my part, there is a variety called "Diplomatico" which is a popular local variety in Mexico and would be considered a "Criollo" too. I heard that variety is pretty good for the back yard grower but not popular for export, because it doesn't meet the requirements needed for export such as holding up to storage and hot water dip.
In the Dominican Republic we have various "criollo" the most popular is a small fruited one called "Banilejo" , which has some minor fiber, but is very sweet. Basically Criollo means "home grown" or any local variety. which we have many.
Dylan, what other mango varieties do you have?
|This is my first mango tree. I also have a Lamb Hass avocado tree, a black mission fig and a fruit cocktail citrus tree that has lemon, limes and four different types of oranges. I'm considering a banana tree, perhaps the Ice Cream. Very new to this so we'll see how it all goes!

A Historical Appraisal of Jewish Presence in Sri Lanka Dr Fiona Kumari Campbell * Email: email@example.com (Draft : version March 2007)
… the fate and destiny of Indian Jews, their coming and going, their rise and decline, the progress and disappearance, remain indissolubility linked with the history of the Jewish diaspora in general. Walter Fischel [1]
… the fate and destiny of Indian Jews, their coming and going, their rise and decline, the progress and disappearance, remain indissolubility linked with the history of the Jewish diaspora in general. Walter Fischel [1]
The remarks by renowned Indo-Judaic scholar Walter Fischel provide a pertinent reminder of the complexities and interconnections that govern and restrain Diaspora research particularly in the South Asian context. Any research production will also be affected by the broader climate in which it is conducted. The island of Sri Lanka (also known as Ceylon and Taprobanê) with a mass area of 1,340 kilometers (832 miles) lies 6° 55 N′, 79° 52′ E on the far southern edge of the Indian sub-continent. Its strategic position throughout the ancient and colonial times meant that it became a convergence point for trade among kingdoms and the intermingling of various civilizations and cultures. In terms of religious proclivities hegemonic discourses present Sri Lanka as an Island populated by the four main world religions: Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity and Islam. Judaism and the Jew is absent from official discourses to the extent that it is a commonly held belief that "there have never been any Jews in Sri Lanka". Although somewhat erroneous and imprecise, the view articulated is that unlike India, there have not been any Jewish communities in Sri Lanka. This paper challenges that view by providing a preliminary historical foray into Jewish life in Sri Lanka. First is a discussion about the methods of research and climatic difficulties. The discussion moves onto consider the relationship between Jewish pogroms in the 1500s – 1700s and the conquest of the Ceylon by the Portuguese (1505 – 1656), Dutch (1656 – 1796) and finally the British (1796 – 1948). There is a brief consideration of the Jewish presence in Sri Lanka before the Portuguese conquest, shifting to a more nuanced articulation of Jewish relations under Portuguese and Dutch occupation. The later part of the paper is concerned with identifying Jewish communal life under the British until Ceylonese independence in 1948. Matters of Scoping There is no shortage of literature about the processes of and reception of colonialism of the peoples of Ceylon by the Portuguese, Dutch and finally the British[2]. However the existence of Jewish communities and societal engagements in Sri Lanka has been understudied[3]. In truth, the specter of the Jewish community, is not entirely absent in the literature but scattered in the fragments of mainly inaccessible and ageing texts. In this sense this paper acts as a preliminary literature review, contained and routed through a genealogical study of Jewish life in colonial Ceylon, complete with contradictions and discontinuities. The genealogical method as understood by Foucault[4] rejects the orientation of Western historicism's search for coherency narratives and instead directs it's attention to ambivalences and contradictions alongside coherency narratives. Whilst official records maybe seen as more reliable than an oral tradition, these sources can at the same time be distortive given that many Jews wished wish to live more or less closeted covert "public" lives. How they lived in their homes, in the private realm is a matter of conjecture that maybe able to be captured through the transmission of oral memory, especially family stories. Another public source is the examination of Jewish Internal records such as Ketuboth (marriage contracts), Mazaboth (Tombstone inscriptions) and Zevaoth (Last Wills). Fischel when undertaking his own searches indicates that examining marriage contracts have not been that fruitful as most merchants were either lifelong bachelors or 'intermarried' with local (indigenous) women and thus erased from official records. The sources of this paper are the official records of the colonial and imperial governments and ancient historical accounts. These sources are supplemented through the diarized accounts of traveling explorers, materials from an internet discussion page[5] and English language newspapers. As with much historical sourcing there are limitations as to what can be known about the colonial era due to the fact that the majority of records emanate from the colonial and Christian viewpoint. In is difficult to locate the missing masses, especially outside of the city of Colombo whose languages of Sinhala and Tamil are sidelined in the colonial archives. Whilst the Dutch administration kept solid records which were preserved by the British, the Portuguese records remain sparse because many of the documents of governance were destroyed before the surrender to the Dutch. Because of the limitations of official sources the paper has also drawn upon, albeit selectively, on family narratives or folklaw. Of course there are problems with this kind of sourcing, namely confused details, patchy information, generalized claims which are speculative in nature. However the subaltern memory can also be a strength – because despite some superficial errors, at the core, is a memory of presence that has survived during the course of time despite prescriptions against Jews through the generations. Jewish Exile and Diaspora During the inquisition in Portugal and Spain around 1500, many Jews fled to Holland and the Dutch colonies to escape torture and condemnation to the stake. Those who were converted to Catholicism were called "Marranos". One of the consequences of these disturbances was the massive conversion of Jews. From the 15th century, a new social group appeared: converses (New Christians), who were distrusted by Jews and Christians alike for their religious beliefs. By converting, Jews could not only escape eventual persecution, but also obtain entry into many offices and posts that were being prohibited to Jews through new, more severe regulations but converting was a hard long process involving many crucial steps and could not be done just overnight. The stadtholder of the King of Portugal gave those who wanted to depart some time to settle their business and supplied them with sixteen ships and safe-conduct to leave for Holland. The most prominent amongst them were Rabbi Izak Aboab and members of the Nassi, the Meza and the Pereira families. Once in the Dutch Republic, however, they resumed their Jewish customs. Estimated at 350 in 1610, Amsterdam's Jewish population there had increased to 6,200 by 1700 and exceeded 20,000 in 1795. Fleeing the persecution in their homeland, they came to the Dutch Republic because of the affluence and relative tolerance here during the seventeenth century. Many of the Jews who went to Holland departed later for the Dutch colonies under the control of the VOC because of the climate and problems with their co-religionists in Amsterdam. Muller traces the lineage of several Sri Lankan Burgher families to Sephardic or Iberian (specifically Portuguese) Jews. According to this perspective the Portuguese Jews, referred to as crypto – Jews only changed their external identity: "The immense majority of them rejected assimilation and desired to survive given the circumstances, as Jews in Christian garb"[6]. Therein lies the scholastic problem if whether the study of Jews in Sri Lanka is really a study of Jewish Christian converts who are subsumed into the masses of Portuguese and Dutch burgher cultures in colonial Ceylon? No doubt some Jewish scholars would suggest that the study is halakhically compromised in the sense that the only "legal" Jew (Mihu Yehudi, "?מיהו יהודי", "Who is a Jew?") according to Jewish law (Halakhah) is one who is the child of a Jewish mother, e.g. "matrilineal descent". This tradition is derived from Deuteronomy 7:4[7]. This is an enduring problem for many "lost communities" in gathering their credentials to demonstrate their Jewish status to Jewish religious authorities. These communities often do not meet halakhic standards and therefore are required to undergo a process of conversion. Added to this problem, is the ongoing ideological struggle of the Dutch burgher community to demonstrate its connections to a pure, unbroken European heritage rather than accept their existence as hybridity of cultural intermingling[8]. Muller's comments give a glimpse of the mood: "Some Sri Lankans in general and Burghers in particular might be astonished, fascinated (or even outraged) by the fact that some of their ancestors may or might have been Sephardic Jews or Iberian Moriscos"[9]. The medium used by Muller for building an associative link and argument between Portuguese and Dutch Jews and Sri Lankan burghers is through the use of Iberian and later Ashkenazi surnames. However there can be problems with an over reliance on surnames to delineate religious origin and this factor will be discussed later on in the paper. Figure 1 is an attempt to map out the origins and gateways of Jewish migration to Sri Lanka.

Half a league to windward on the same shore all the businessmen who come there assemble and a free Fair is held, laid out like some gallant city with streets and rows of shops; where they collect every kind of merchandise which our discoveries trade in with the nations of Europe and the whole of Asia. Foe this purpose they bring their gold, silver in bars and wrought, all kinds of precious stones, amber, perfumes, carpets, meleques, money with the rarities of all provinces of the world, in such a fashion that if there is anything anywhere of which one can spend time and money seeing it, it is this great Fair. From the surroundings is brought every variety of food, and though the people are numerous and of various races and religions – Christians, Jews, Moors and gentiles – they can all obtain the food to which they are accustomed.
I met here in the house of Mullah Meshiakh with an Hebrew translation of the Koran, with the following title: "The Law of the Ishmaelites, called Koran, translated from the Arabic into French by Durier, and from the French into Dutch by Glosenmachor, and I, Immanuel Jacob Medart, [sic] have now translated it into the holy language, written here at Kogen, by David, the son of Isaac Cohen of Berlin[39].
Every human being has a name … and behind each name exists a whole world .. Ada Holtzman[42]
… [I] do have one Jewish surname that I happen to know of and may help you add to your rich research - and that is the name HARMON or perhaps later changed to HERMON. I used to know a lady by the name of [first name removed for confidentiality reasons]….. (Nee Harmon) … (later married {……}) and they went as Dutch Burghers, who told me that they were from a Jewish family and went on to explain briefly about the Harmon name being changed to Hermon[43].
The 'de Fonseka' surname (spelled da Fonseca in Portuguese) is a Jewish (Sephardic) name. The name is listed in a well researched website as a Sephardic name and was confirmed by the creator/researcher of the site Harry Stein as such… [The piece then explains the name in the Sri Lankan context]: The arrival of the Portuguese in the island and the subsequent events led to the spread of Christianity in the island. Members of the clan (now known as the Varnakula Additiya Arasanilayitta) embraced the religion and took on different names of Portuguese origins. The name most probably would have been the name of the 'sponsor' who took part in the baptism ceremony, or would have been a name assigned by the Portuguese Authorities…..Who lent the name 'de Fonseka'. Was he a military officer, a Priest or some other. It remains a mystery to date. The genealogical history we have traced so far has brought us much closer to the Progenitor, but the question remains unanswered. How and why the name 'de Fonseka' was chosen, is lost in history, but it can be said with certainty that the name was adopted on conversion to Christianity.[44]
…Their practical knowledge of planting was therefore acquired during its experimental stages; and no capitalists in the colony have contributed more to its advancement by judgment, and firmness and perseverance in period of difficulty. Hereafter, when the great project to which they have devoted their lives, shall have attained its full development, Ceylon, in the plentitude of commercial success, will remember with gratitude the names of men like these, who were the earliest pioneers of its prosperity[53].
…The brothers … found themselves in a curious parallel with their Rothschild cousins at home in England, faced with barriers against their Jewish background … While Lionel [Rothschild] was able, with the help of his friends and connections, to join battle successfully over the issue, Gabriel seems to have quietly accepted the rebuttal and retired from the fray.

I remember, as a child, seeing many Jews in this country, always dressed in the customary long white robe, head covered and kept in place with a phylactery tied round the head. Also, till recent times, there was a Jewish Synagogue at Steuart Place, Kollupitiya (as that part of the Galle Road was called). The low parapet wall of the synagogue, almost opposite where the Hotel Oberoi [now called The Cinnamon Grand] now stands, had a stone built into the wall with the words "THE SYNAGOGUE" carved on it. … Then came World War II and I lost sight and trace of the Jews. Perhaps they returned to Israel with the formation of that country in 1948.
