It's about sights and gun control. I wouldn't be so bold to make such a claim, but Rob Leatham got me pointed in this direction - he probably knows a bit about shooting. However, even before that, I was already seeing in my shooting that accurate rapid fire and the proverbial 'trigger control' dogma are conflicting concepts.
So accuracy in rapid fire is not about trigger control - it's about sights and maximized gun control. The prevailing dogma about trigger control is that it's the most important part of shooting. You can have your sights perfectly aligned and miss the shot because you jerked the trigger. I'm sure we've all heard that as if it were the ultimate shooting maxim. But, you can also miss the shot with perfect trigger control if you anticipate the shot and flinch - that's lack of gun control. A perfect trigger pull won't help a bit with that.
I shot this yesterday at Shooter's Depot indoor range. The 3 inch dot is at 5 yards. The gun is a box stock gen 4 G17, yep, you read that right - box stock! I know it's hard to believe I haven't made any mods to it , but I haven't. BTW, the dot connector Glock now puts in gen 4s is so good, I doubt I'll replace any dot connectors with after markets - they're that good! At least for me.
The camera is zoomed in 5X (all that camera will do) so you can see the hits better. BTW, you may notice my shots are slightly to the left of center. I believe that is NOT sight misalignment but a correction I've made to my grip causing the left bias.
And, I guarantee, I am not squeeeeezing the trigger, I am actually slapping and jerking it. So how do I get by with that? Simple - gun control. If I control my gun sufficiently, then it doesn't matter how I pull the trigger. As you watch the vid, consider that in about 0.42 seconds, I'm recovering from recoil, reacquiring my sight picture, and pulling the trigger. If it takes 0.21 seconds to recover from recoil and acquire a sight picture, how much time does that leave for trigger control? Only 0.21 seconds - that's a trigger jerk, not a trigger squeeeeeze. BTW, I got that from Rob Leatham. Rob says something on the order of, "...I know traditionalists are going to hate hearing this, but you can't go this fast [referring to his shooting, not mine] without jerking the trigger." Well, I can't shoot as fast as Rob, but I can apply his principles - here goes...
For slower fire, all that emphasis on trigger control may be true - I'm still working on that.
I don't want to give the impression that trigger control can be ignored, or that one can just go out and yank on the trigger any ol way and get good accuracy - you'll be disappointed if you think that.
But, what I do want to emphasize is that shooting at speed, is about gun control, not trigger control - at least not trigger control in the traditional sense. If you can control your gun so well that pulling the trigger doesn't disturb the gun, then it really doesn't matter how you pull the trigger does it?

Montesorri is an educational approach developed in the early 20th century by the Italian physician Dr. Maria Montesorri. The method revolves around specially designed, manipulative activities that engage children and allow them to work at their own pace. The Montessori learning environments are for multi-age groups: 0 to 3 years, 3 to 6 years, 9 to 12 years and 12 to 14 years. The first two groups are the age groups that participate in alphabet activities.
Alphabet Match
In the Montessori alphabet match game, teachers cut out large colorful upper and lower case letters and laminate them. Each upper- and lower-case letter has a corresponding color. For example, the upper and lower case A are both red. Students are then encouraged to match the lower case letter with the corresponding upper-case letter. Because the colors correspond with the letters, the child can easily perceive any errors so there is no need for adult correction. This Montessori method allows the child to learn problem-solving skills and build confidence as well.
Alphabet Bingo
The Montessori alphabet bingo game is played like traditional bingo. Cards contain grids with a letter in each grid. Large alphabet blocks are put into a box. The caller chooses a letter block out of the box and calls it out. Students then place a marker on the corresponding letter on their cards. When someone fills up a row, she calls "Bingo" and wins the game.
Sandpaper Letters
The Montessori alphabet sandpaper letter activity teaches students cursive letters. In Montessori classrooms, children learn to write cursive and print letters at the same time. For this activity, teachers cut out the cursive letters of the alphabet from fine sandpaper, then mount them on something stronger like cardboard. The vowels are mounted on a light blue cardboard and the consonants on a light pink cardboard. Before children practice writing the letters, they trace them with their fingers on the sandpaper letters.
Movable Alphabet
The Montessori movable alphabet activity teaches children the difference between vowels and consonants and allows them to learn to read and spell. Large letters are cut out -- the vowels are red and the consonants are blue. The letters are then placed in a shallow box with compartments for each letter. Toddlers can use this game in tandem with the sandpaper letters. Eventually, though, this game can be used to form simple words.

Some high clouds over the Central Coast this morning shouldn't hinder temperatures too much. Highs should reach the low 70s today (at the coastal valleys) and we can hold this pattern through the weekend. Normal highs should be about 65, that means much of this stretch will run about 6-8 degrees above normal.
The records look just out of reach in the low 80s.
The story is a little different in our interior valleys, highs are just expected to reach the lower 60s.
The reason is offshore winds. Offshore winds tend to sink and compress over space causing some warming. However this time of year the beginning temperature is quite cold and the further east you go the colder it is. Offshore winds in this case will warm the valleys only a little where coastally the impact is greater.

Dear readers,
For those of you who are terrified of any dessert that has "vegan" in the title I have some news: The mini brownies at Peacefood are actually really good especially when you consider their $0.99 price.
These brownies are moist and "cake-like" rather than "fudge-like" but the thing I like most about them is their dark chocolate cocoa flavor. This is what is often missing from many brownies IMHO. Maybe the lack of eggs and milk forces a vegan baker to focus more on flavor? A more traditional baker might take for granted that a brownie with all the usual ingredients will taste pretty good no matter what they do. Check these out for a buck and let me know how they were.
The mini cupcake with chocolate frosting was good as well. I doubt too many people could identify it as "vegan" in a blind taste test. Like the Brownies, it was moist. For some reason it did not have the deep, dark chocolate flavor that the brownies had. If you like your frosting with the sweetness-o-meter jacked to 10 like Magnolia or super-high in volume like Sweet Revenge then you might not love these.

Never have I come across this slimey ewwey creature before. I hope this isn't something I have to pick off my plants each year. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Icky yicky larvae
Follow-Up Postings:
Yuk is right. Actually, I found the explanation sort of amusing though, "The pear slug is not actually a slug but the larval form of an insect also known as a sawfly which is a non-stinging wasp rather than a fly." It just goes to show how common names can be deceiving. So, it's not really a slug nor a true fly. Anyways, interesting that they are still feeding on the plants in mid-September. Glen |
- Posted by valleyrimgirl 2b (My Page) on Mon, Sep 15, 08 at 7:36
And, because they are not a true slug (as we think of slugs) but rather an insect, you can kill them with malathian if you wish. Did you get a picture of it? Brenda |
No, I did not get a picture of it, and at first when I searched I used words like caterpillar, shiny, wet, and I'd thought it was some sort of cereal beetle larvae, but their shape is different (and I have some red wheat growing nearby just to fill an empty spot). The shape reminds me of a planarium someone posted on the compost forum, but when I chanced upon the pear/cherry slug photos, I knew I had 'im. Also, when I bothered it and made it roll over, I could see it's underbelly was drier, and it had legs, so I knew it was not a slug - just looked like one (and obviously was nicknamed as one). I only have 3 cotoneaster plants this year, just to see if they survive the winter well in the exposed area I've planted them in, so I used tweezers to pry them off the leaves and dropped them in a container with vinegar. I also use vinegar on the spruce sawflies in the spring, seems to do them in. Only works for small infestations (if the gardener is willing to pluck). I think they are feeding so late because our spring was a good 2-3 weeks delayed with unusually cool weather, so everything's set back? |
Pear slugs can make a real mess on my cotoneaster and cistena cherry. This year they are so late, I'm not too concerned. The leaves are almost ready to fall off anyway. But in the past, I've found that just spraying with insecticidal soap at the first sign of damage controls them. I agree that they are gross though. |
- Posted by valleyrimgirl 2b (My Page) on Tue, Sep 16, 08 at 9:09
Guess this means that I should go check out my cotoneaster hedge and my cistena cherry. Are they nocternal critters or should I find them at any time of the day, if I have them here? (Hopefully I don't) Brenda |
I'd say one thing in our favour is that the caterpillar feeds on the top of leaves, so very easy to spy, no surprises when touching a leaf from below (like in, say those green caterpillars that like to eat holes in rose bush leaves). And they don't try to escape, although I found they had a grip on the leaf not unlike a little leach would on your leg at the lake (yikes). I picked mine off, I only had a dozen on my 3 baby shrubs, and from what I've read they usually don't do too much damage since it's so late in the season and the plant has done most of what it's needed to for winter. Since it is carried by the adult which flies, I'm not sure numbers would be reduced for next year. I used plastic tweezers I'd inherited from a son's bug catching kit, but hey, if you're REALLY brave, (like my mom-she can squish a slug (the smaller ones) with her bare fingers, she hates slugs that bad!) you can try bare handed! (Ha!) |
- Posted by valleyrimgirl 2b (My Page) on Mon, Sep 22, 08 at 14:10
Yesterday, I found 3 on one of my cherry trees that I planted last year. I took a few pictures and will post them later. Amazing how much they really do look like slugs. They are smaller than I thought they would be at only about 1 cm long and are very easy to squish. When squished the little black shiny 'slugs' are green inside. No slime like a regular slug, but when it was dragged along my fingernail there was a black residue on my nail where I had moved it. The shininess (sp?)of the top of the pear slug makes it look wet, like a regular slug always is. Brenda |
Okay Brenda....like.....wow.....I am the GARDENING WIMP of CANADA! There is no way I could do that (bare hands on bug squishing), for me it is less effort to walk back into the house (and since the deck's not finished I have to saunter ALL the way to the front), knock the dirt off my sandals, take them off, go into the house and get a receptacle and a toothpick or whatever, yell at the kids to clean up whatever mess they got going on at that moment, re-sandal, and head back out to the back of the yard). Much easier for me. You rock! |
- Posted by prairierose 2b (My Page) on Tue, Sep 23, 08 at 13:23
Kioni, I think I may be wimpier (is that a word?) than you. I'm not even going to go look at my cotoneasters, just in case there are any pear slugs! Connie |
- Posted by valleyrimgirl 2b (My Page) on Wed, Sep 24, 08 at 9:04
Oh, you guys... Here is a picture I took of the pear slug on my little cherry tree. Each leaf is about 2" long, so the slug is about 1 cm in length. On my fingernail it doesn't look that big. Brenda |
Oh brave girl eh? How about posting me a picture of one all squished up? (just kidding, don't do it!) You give me strength. Maybe I'll make that my 'fear factor' goal for next year, killing one of those bare handed (and picking the rest!) Have a great day! |

If for some reason I wanted narrow lapels, I'd have probably just purchased a narrow lapelled tweed jacket in the first place. That's usually cheaper and easier and yields better results than buying something else, and having it re-done to suit me. After all, it's not like tweed jackets are all that difficult to find, that one need settle.
2. The inside label says Hartford Clothes for I. Rosen Memphis. Google turned up nothing.
I googled I. Rosen Memphis, and the very first result was a link to a story from 2007, about I. Rosen going out of business after 97 years. http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2007/nov/20/ending-a-97-year-tradition/
As for Hartford Clothes, the name doesn't ring a bell for me, but obviously they made the jacket in question. for sale by I. Rosen. If you search for something like "hartford clothes" "mens clothing" I suppose you'll come up with at least a few relevant results. What, exactly, do you want to know about them?

Goal: To develop biomaterials technologies for the integration of tissues with medical devices.
Our group is engaged in the development of a broad range of biomaterials technologies for integration into healthy tissue or for the reconstruction, replacement, or repair of damaged tissue. Two central themes in our work are understanding and controlling the foreign body response to implanted materials and developing cell-based biomaterials. Our group has extensive expertise in bioengineering, biomaterials sciences, neuroscience, cell-culture and tissue engineering methods, immunohistological characterization, device fabrication and testing, and micro- and nanoscale engineering.
Planar substrates with patterned ligands were used to induce astrocyte alignment whereas substrates with uniform fields of ligand were used to produce random cell orientation. DRG neurons plated on top of oriented astrocyte monolayers exhibited directional outgrowth along aligned astrocytes, demonstrating that purely biological cues provided by the oriented astrocytes were sufficient to provide guidance cues.
On April 18, 2012, the Brain Institute hosted a visit by 70 Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) students from Salt Lake City high schools. MESA is a statewide public education program that encourages underrepresented students, including women and ethnic minorities, to pursue advanced study and careers in Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM).

on Sep. 05, 2011 :
The storyline makes it well worth the time to read. There's a deal of grammatical & punctuation errors but I can't be sure if they are due to the conversion of the files for e-publishing or if they were just really never edited out. I wholly recommend the entire series.

PHP MongoDB Driver¶
Access MongoDB from PHP¶
To access MongoDB from PHP you need:
Install the PHP Driver¶
sudo pecl install mongo
Open your php.ini file and add to it:
It is recommended to add this to the section with the other "extensions," but it will work from anywhere within the php.ini file.
Restart your web server (Apache, nginx, etc.) for the change to take effect.
See the installation docs for configuration information and OS-specific installation instructions.
pecl requires that pear be installed. For those using apt-get, you may need to run the following:
sudo apt-get install php5-dev php5-cli php-pear
Download the correct driver for your environment from <https://s3.amazonaws.com/drivers.mongodb.org/php/index.html>. Thread safe builds are used when running PHP as an Apache module (typical installation); non-thread safe builds, which include "nts" in the filename, are used for CGI.
Unzip and add the appropriate php_mongo.dll file to your PHP extensions directory (usually the ext folder in your PHP installation).
Add to your php.ini:
Restart your web server (Apache, IIS, etc.) for the change to take effect.
For more information, see the Windows section of the installation docs.

I live in Massachusettes, is Drywall mud the same as Joint compound? I need to repair my bathroom ceiling. Do I buy the ready mix mud which needs to be mixed with a little water, or the joint compound found in the small plastic bucket ready to use? Are they the same Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
They are the same, but come in a number of different grades. Base compound is heavier than topping compound. It is actually pretty rare to need to add water if you mix up the container thoroughly before using it . Setting type compounds come as a powder in around 20 pound bags and must be mixed thoroughly and smoothly with water before use. The far lower shrinkage is enough to make Easysand worth using for screw dimples, let alone seams. Easysand20 is for experienced folks. |
Thanks for the help! We scraped parts of the chipping plaster off the ceiling of our bathroom, house was built in 1968. The bare "Green board" is exposed, can I use a ready mix joint compound on the ceiling and try to replicate the "swirl" texture look, or use the powder form and work fast. Both results will be painted. Thanks |
"use the powder form and work fast. " The setting compound would be much better. "Easy Sand 5, 8-12 minutes; Easy Sand 20, 20-30 minutes; Easy Sand 45, 30-80 minutes; Easy Sand 90, 85-130 minutes; and Easy Sand 210, 80-240 minutes." Get some of the 210 minute compound |
Here is a link that might be useful: Easysand data

"patient enough to apply enough coats" Texture is often a one shot deal. Going back to fill 'drying shrinkage cracks' may not work well depending on the texture. |

My favorites are Mildred Mitchell and SC Behavior Pattern. I love Raspberries and Cream, but I can't keep it alive here. I bought it twice, and lost it twice. Debra |
Wow, look at all those blooms in the first pic. Mildred Mitchell is so beautiful and your pic really shows off the colors. Julia |
This winter was mild and Raspberries in Cream made it through at my house, but not my Dad's (we split the order last summer). His was in an open area, mine next to the house. |
They are all just beautiful and my favorite one is Mildred Mitchell .That is gorgeous. |
whoa that mildred mitchell very nice artwork going on there! and great applique (sp?) going on if that's what the call it on behavior pattern. the last pic is also very interesting and smoky indeed you really have some nice variety there. |
Love the bed shot, so many blooms! Geneva Firetruck is nice and bright, love it. And my favorite is Raspberries in Cream, so pretty. I saw it 2 years ago for the first time and had to have it (when the price came down ;)) I am sad to read that it is so tender :(( It's actually the smallest of the last year news ones in my garden, but has a little scape. I will hope! |

Love the garden shot. Raspberries In Cream is my favorite here. |
I really like the Raspberries in Cream and the Smokey Mtn. Autumn. Mine has quit blooming here, so I am happy to see yours. Love the bed shot. Sarah |
Celeste-I am lucky enough to have a father and aunt who share with me sometimes on nicer flowers. As well as some people from the garden club who sell me things at a discounted price when theirs grow some. Plus I've found some great deals at Maryott and a few finds on the lily auction. I've been working on getting nicer flowers for the past ten years. :) |

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Bo!
Facts about Bo

Bo's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
This sweet handsome boy is 9 months old and 50 lbs. He is a little shy when you first meet him, then he becomes your best friend. He loves to play. His favorite toy is a chew rope that he can throw around and play tug with his brother Roy.
Bo has been fully vetted to include neutered, current, current on vaccinations, micro chipped and blood/fecal testing.
Bo would love to have a very own home of his own. If you are interested in giving him that home. Email email@example.com and a application will be emailed to you.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bo, a Conway Boxer/Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer/Labrador Retriever for sale in Conway, or seeking a Boxer/Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Conway.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Conway already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Conway breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer/Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Boxer/Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Conway paves the way for another one to be saved.
