Like others have said, glad no one was hurt.
Always physically check the chamber with your finger on top of visually. I always rack once, then rack and lock the slide, insert a finger, and then look.
I had dry fired hundreds upon hundreds of times since owning glocks. Immediately before the ND happened, if you had stopped and asked me if I had properly cleared the weapon, I would have bet you a million dollars I had- I was that sure. But like I mentioned, for a millisecond my brain went from conscious to autopilot doing the safety check and I racked and inspected BEFORE dropping the map. And that is what surprised me, just how fallible the brain is. You often put your brain on autopilot each day, driving, putting sugar in your coffee.. but when it comes to a sequence like clearing a gun that MUST be done in proper order if you let your brain slip into autopilot you can get them out of order without realizing it. That's what happened to me.
And the reason I allowed my brain to slip into autopilot was I had done safety checks thousands of times always CONSCIOUSLY of each and every step. But this one time, while admiring my new laser For just a 1/10 of a second I let my brain slip into autopilot as I "multitasked"- clearing the gun and thinking about the laser. That's all it took to make a mistake that could have been fatal. It is incredibly sobering to realize how easily a mistake can be made with complacency.
By the way because some of you are wondering.. the sound didn't make my ears ring at all. In fact it didn't sound any louder to me then a paper bag. I think the shock of it somehow dulled the senses.
As a follow up to this post,
Now.. I at least double check and include sticking my finger in the mag well, then double racking and repeating and forcing it to be a focused and conscious action.My new force of habit is not merely the safety check but the act of making it a conscious and deliberate thought out process each and every time.
That is the advice I would give.. make sure you double check through your safety check and do whatever it takes to make it a conscious action. Each and every time you pick up your weapon for handling. All it takes is one time letting your brain slip to autopilot and you could kill someone. It's that serious.
I unload in a way that forces that not to happen. I almost did the exact same thing once, so I came up with a kinda childish way, but it's a way to keep it in order. I drop the mag on the counter and then turn the pistol sideways and rack the round out so it falls on the mag itself, then look inside (I like to point the muzzle at a light source too, if I see rifling looking back at me, I know the chamber is clear, and I can turn the grip towards the same light and see four walls looking at me).
Glad no one was hurt. So what round were you using (for curiosity's sake)?
As we used to teach in the spook business, carry a 25 if it makes you feel good, but do not ever load it. If you load it you may shoot it. If you shoot it you may hit somebody, and if you hit somebody - and he finds out about it - he may be very angry with you. -- Jeff Cooper
Federal 124grain HST.. went through 2, 3/4" cemetboard (I have an older home with thicker drywall), and into the kitchen cabinet (from the back side) and took out multiple drinking glasses. The Jacket separated somewhere in the wall stud but I recovered core in cabinet. However The pressure of the shattering glass actually blew open the cabinet door and hundreds of glass fragments came out of the cabinet like a blunderbuss.
Hiding behind a wall for a 9mm hst round is not cover at all.
Well that's good to know, since I use 147gr HST.haha
Also good to know since I have 3/4" drywall.
Wanna test out the 147gr for me? hahaha
And 3/4" doesn't mean old, it just means quality. Better for hanging and such, but more expensive and harder to work with.

Why not use a stack of phone books as a backstop for dry-firing? If you are going to break rule number one(a temporary lapse can happen to anybody), then at least follow rule number two.

The good news no one was injured. Sharing your experience is a great reminder for ALL of us. Thanks for sharing.

Ruger owners check our sister forum http://rugerpistolforums.com a great site to share and learn about your Ruger pistols.
Some guns have magazine safeties, so you need the mag in to drop the hammer. The Ruger 22 is especially tricky because there is no hammer. I always point all my guns at an outside wall when I pull the trigger. The only time I feel safe is when I see the slide, barrel, and frame in seperate piles on the table.
Follow 4th commandment & with the Glock always check 4 round in chamber, remove magazine, check 4 round in chamber & finally verify no magazine present.
You were lucky it went as well as it did!
I have seen many of these stories and i am real cautious of an AD. I typically cycle the action of any gun multiple times after dropping the mag and checking to see if its clear.
I am sure that was a terrifying experience once you realized the gun actually went off. Glad everyone is ok and the only damage was material and perhaps a little pride.
I appreciate you being humble enough to share the experience on this board so that the rest of us can be reminded that our "toys" aren't really toys. It's imperative to have multiple verifications whenever unloading/clearing or deciding when it's safe to shoot.
Thanks glockforlife

― Albert Einstein
I had something happen "once" to me..... and since then, I check the gun religiously 3 times..... that it's clear.
I had cleaned a gun, disassembled it and put it back together. I always do a dry fire check..... when I was about to do it.... a "thought" hit my brain...... "check that gun one more time to be sure" . Out jumped a round when I racked it..... I was stunned. I realized I had put them mag in and racked it..... and then had the thought, "oh , I need to dry fire check this" ...... and removed the mag but not cleared the gun. I was very glad I rechecked the gun "one more time".
I now take ALL ammo and mags literally out and keep them in a completely different room than the gun when I clean them. Then , when I go to do a dry fire...... I check that chamber at least 3 times to make absolutely certain I haven't missed a thing. Even then, I aim it at something I know would stop a bullet if one were in the gun and it fired.
Now ... I have also gone to using a snap cap in all guns..... and making sure it's a snap cap in the chamber, so it's a 2nd check that a live round can't be in there.

Better buy the misses something REALLY nice. She is probably none too happy at the moment.
A timely, although unfortunate, reminder to be extra careful during dryfire practice.
This could've happened with any pistol, or rifle for that matter. The fact that it had no external safety, or that it was a Glock, is completely irrelevant.

Hi, I'm looking for a main shower head with a forceful spray. I don't care what kind it is as long as it is powerful. I can't spend more than around $125, and the lower the cost the better. I've heard that the flow restrictors can be removed from Grohe shower heads. Does anyone know if this is true in 2013 in the US? Some members of my family have long thick hair and it takes a long time to wash out the shampoo unless there's a forceful spray. I'm all for conserving water but when it takes twice as long to shower... I'm also looking for a hand-held and am wondering what type is best, i.e. on a slider or wall-mounted. I'm also going to post in the bathrooms forum. Thanks a bunch! |

Speakman are great so is Grohe. Flow restricters removed with ease in 2006. Both give a great shower. Grohe is better styled. |
I prefer to drill a small hole through the flow restrictor. Removing it completely can cause too much water flow, to the point that the shower floods out the bathroom. Sometimes the drain can't keep up, and you're standing in filthy water up to your shins. The water conservation regulations of 2.5 gallons per minute is plenty. I consider that an ideal shower, even 2 GPM is adequate. A 1/8" to 3/16" hole drilled through the flow restrictor is the way to go. First I drill the 1/8" hole, measure the results by timing how long it takes to fill a 5 gallon bucket and then possibly enlarge the hole slightly until the flow is right around 2 to 2.5 gallons per minute. Of all the times I've done this, the 1/8" hole has not yet resulted in too much water flow. Removing the flow restrictor completely often does result in too hard of a shower. Another problem with the flow restrictors is the way they are designed. The thing is designed to clog up. The manufacturers are fine with this because it helps sell more shower heads, and the flow restrictor is required by law to save water. Isn't it funny how every time we pass laws regulating the way things are made, the manufacturers just use it as an excuse to make an inferior product? With the little hole drilled through, the thing never clogs up. So your shower has the same flow and pressure for years, rather than gradually getting weaker and weaker. |

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Our analysts have a few thoughts on the report that you sent.
At this time, we have no reason to believe that Iran is actually planning
to put missiles into Venezuela. We were able to find the original source
reporting in the German newspaper Die Welt, which noted that during the
meetings between Iranian and Venezuelan representatives, Iran expressed
that it "wants" to put missiles in Venezuela. However, it did not
indicate that there was actually an intention to do so, nor do it note
that there was a plan in place to make that desire a reality. It appears
that other media outlets may have changed the meaning of the statement to
a more drastic interpretation. As with many Iranian statements, it appears
that this statement is another piece of the rhetoric that has frequently
been unleashed from the Iranian regime--while the Iranian administration
frequently talks about doing many things, it most often does not have the
capability, nor the desire, to actually carry out many of its rhetorical
statements. Additionally, while Hugo Chavez likes to blast the U.S. in
much of his personal rhetoric, it is unlikely that he has the appetite to
deal with probable US aggression on this issue, especially while dealing
with many other very pressing domestic political and security challenges.
It's also worth noting that most Iranian missiles would not actually reach
the US--the Scud B missile would barely reach into Bogota. The longer
range scud missiles and the Shabaab 3 missiles would be just out of range
of the Florida Keys at about 1,000 miles away from Venezuela. Thus, we
also believe that having these missiles would not necessarily bring any
significant benefit to Caracas.
Regarding the Die Welt publication, we understand it to be a credible and
legitimate publication--though it appears it was somewhat misquoted in
later statements.
If Iran were to successfully place missiles in Venezuela, especially
missiles that had the potential to reach the United States, we believe the
the US would consider this an act of war. We believe the reaction would
be very similar to what was seen during the Cuban missile crisis, with
Washington very firmly insisting that such missile placements are
unacceptable and acting to ensure that the actions were either reversed,
or did not occur in the first place.
As always, please don't hesitate to contact me if you need additional

Iran is planning to place medium-range missiles on Venezuelan soil,
based on western information sources[1], according to an article in the
German daily, Die Welt, of November 25, 2010. According to the article,
an agreement between the two countries was signed during the last visit
o Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to Tehran on October19, 2010. The
previously undisclosed contract provides for the establishment of a
jointly operated military base in Venezuela, and the joint development
of ground-to-ground missiles.
At a moment when NATO members found an agreement, in the recent Lisbon
summit (19-20 November 2010), to develop a Missile Defense capability to
protect NATO's populations and territories in Europe against ballistic
missile attacks from the East (namely, Iran), Iran's counter-move
consists in establishing a strategic base in the South American
continent - in the United States's soft underbelly.
According to Die Welt, Venezuela has agreed to allow Iran to establish a
military base manned by Iranian missile officers, soldiers of the
Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Venezuelan missile officers. In
addition, Iran has given permission for the missiles to be used in case
of an "emergency". In return, the agreement states that Venezuela can
use these facilities for "national needs" - radically increasing the
threat to neighbors like Colombia. The German daily claims that
according to the agreement, Iranian Shahab 3 (range 1300-1500 km),
Scud-B (285-330 km) and Scud-C (300, 500 and 700 km) will be deployed in
the proposed base. It says that Iran also pledged to help Venezuela in
rocket technology expertise, including intensive training of officers
Venezuela has also become the country through which Iran intends to
bypass UN sanctions. Following a new round of UN sanctions against the
Islamic Republic, for example, Russia decided not to sell five
battalions of S-300PMU-1 air defence systems to Iran. These weapons,
along with a number of other weapons, were part of a deal, signed in
2007, worth $800 million. Now that these weapons cannot be delivered to
Iran, Russia is looking for new customers; according to the Russian
press agency Novosti[2], it found one: Venezuela.
Novosti reports the words of Igor Korotchenko, head of a Moscow-based
think tank on international arms trade, saying that if the S-300 deal
with Venezuela goes through, Caracas should pay cash for the missiles,
rather than take another loan from Russia. "The S-300 is a very good
product and Venezuela should pay the full amount in cash, as the
country's budget has enough funds to cover the deal ," Korotchenko said.
Moscow has already provided Caracas with several loans to buy
Russian-made weaponry, including a recent $2.2-mln loan on the purchase
of 92 T-72M1M tanks, the Smerch multiple-launch rocket systems and other
military equipment.
If Iran, therefore, cannot get the S-300 missiles directly from Russia,
it can still have them through its proxy, Venezuela, and deploy them
against its staunchest enemy, the U.S..
But that is not all. According to Reuters, Iran has developed a version
of the Russian S-300 missile and will test-fire it soon, as declared by
the official news agency IRNA, two months after Moscow cancelled the
delivery to comply with United Nations sanctions[3]. Iran, in fact, has
its own capabilities for constructing missiles that could carry atomic
warheads. According to a study recently released by the International
Institute of Strategic Studies in London, Iran is presently aiming to
perfect the already existing solid-fuel, medium-range missile that can
carry a nuke to hit regional targets, such as Israel[4]. If a missile
base can be opened in Venezuela, many US cities will be able to be
reached from there even with short-medium range missiles.
The situation that is unfolding in Venezuela has some resemblance to the
Cuba crisis of 1962. At that time, Cuba was acting on behalf of the
USSR; now Venezuela is acting on behalf of Iran. At present, the
geopolitical situation is very different: the world is no longer ruled
by two superpowers; new nations, often with questionable leaders and the
ambition of acquiring global status, are appearing on the international
scene. Their danger to the free world will be greater if the process of
nuclear proliferation is not stopped. Among the nations that aspire to
become world powers, Iran has certainly the best capabilities of posing
a challenge to the West.
Back in the 1962, thanks to the stern stance adopted by the then Kennedy
administration, the crisis was defused
Nowadays, however, we do not see the same firmness from the present
administration. On the contrary, we see a lax attitude, both in language
and in deeds, that results in extending hands when our adversaries have
no intention of shaking hands with us. Iran is soon going to have a
nuclear weapon, and there are no signs that UN sanctions will in any way
deter the Ayatollah's regime from completing its nuclear program. We
know that Iran already has missiles that can carry an atomic warhead
over Israel and over the Arabian Peninsula. Now we learn that Iran is
planning to build a missile base close to the US borders. How longer do
we have to wait before the Obama administration begins to understand

Hyundai HND-9 concept rendered
Hyundai has revealed a rather interesting concept car these past couple of days. Dubbed the HND-9 concept, the vehicle will be presented at the 2013 Seoul Motor Show on March 28.
If you're thinking that the "HND-9″ name has a little Hyundai in there somewhere, you should probably know that it stands for Hyundai's ninth concept created by the R&D Center in Namyang, Korea. The concept showcases a preview of the styling cues which will become a regular on the upcoming "next-generation luxury sports coupe" (aka Genesis Coupe).
On the styling side, the car looks pretty awesome featuring butterfly doors, huge dual tailpipes, a long hood with a wide hexagonal front grille and let's not forget the "evil-looking" taillights as well as the huge alloy wheels.
Under the bonnet, the car packs a 3.3-liter turbocharged GDi engine that generates no less than 370 HP – 272 kW, all of which go to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic gearbox. As a reminder, the 2011 Kia GT Concept had a similar setup as the HND-9, the foremost having a peak torque of 534 Nm – (394 lb-ft).
Maybe the production version won't receive too many changes because the concept could really be a huge hit.

Supercharged Hyundai Genesis Coupe Hurricane
Hyundai has released details on another project that's going to be showcased at SEMA this year, based on the Genesis Coupe V6, a supercharged Hyundai Genesis Coupe called Hurricane. This car was developed by Hyundai America Technical Center (HATCI) in collaboration with Magnuson Products, Rhys Millen Racing, Harman International and Torvec Inc.
The most impressive upgrade was made under the hood where the 3.8L V6 engine now comes with a supercharger with a liquid to air which takes the car's power to over 450 horsepower. Other performance upgrades include an IsoTorque differential, a free flowing exhaust system with air intake, a six piston brake kit from Brembo with cross drilled front and rear rotors brakes and a new set of 19″ wheels from Enkei wrapped in Hankook tires.
Rhys Millen Racing took care of the car's looks while Harman equipped the car with a high level Lexicon audio system.
ARK Performance's turbocharged Hyundai Veloster
Hyundai teamed up with ARK Performance to create this hardcore, turbocharged Hyundai Veloster, that's going to be premiered at SEMA next month. The most important upgrade of this modified Veloster is, of course, the addition of a custom twin-scroll turbocharger that will take the power of the 1.6L engine from the standard 138 HP to 210 HP.
Hyundai even plans to launch a more powerful version of the Veloster, almost exactly like this turbocharged one, in the first months of 2012, according to our friends from CarScoop. This car that's going to be showcased at SEMA in just a couple of weeks also features upgrades to the car's suspension and brake systems to handle the extra power.
ARK Performance also modified the car's looks by making a custom body kit for it which makes it a lot more aggressive and by giving it a new eye catching paint job and equipping the car with a new set of alloys that make it look almost like a racecar. The interior of the car has been also modified, but we don't know any exact details at the moment. We'll probably know more when the SEMA show starts.
2012 Hyundai i30 Facelift Revealed
Hyundai has released the first official photos and details about their new generation Hyundai i30, a facelifted model that's going to be premiered at the IAA Fankfurt this week. The new 2012 i30 features the company's signature hexagonal-shaped grille and a pair of resigned headlights and fog lamps.
It also features a more muscular body to continue its battle in the C-segment where almost all hatches seem broad shouldered, cars like the Volkswagen Golf, Opel Astra or the Ford Focus. This segment is the largest segment by volume sales in Europe and Hyundai plans to sell even more i30s than last year in Europe.
Back in 2010, the Korean automaker managed to sell an impressive number of 115,000 i30s in Europe while Volkswagen sold over 500,000 units of the Golf. Allan Rushforth, COO of Hyundai Motor Europe said that the company is expecting the new i30 to appeal to young, progressive buyers who want a car that not only performs well but looks great too.
The engines which will be offered on the 2012 model will include two petrol units and two diesels: a 1.4L engine with 100 HP and a 1.6L GDI delivering 140 HP, both on petrol and a 1.4L CRDi capable of producing 90 HP and a 1.6L CRDi which delivers 126 HP on diesel. Customers will be able to choose between a manual gearbox offered as standard and an optional 6 speed automatic.
The Korean automaker will also showcase the new i40 Saloon and the 1+2 Veloster Coupe at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Limited edition Hyundai Genesis Coupe GT
Hyundai Germany has announced today a limited edition of their Hyundai Genesis Coupe GT exclusive for Germany that will be produced in a limited run of just 50 units. This limited edition was inspired by the Hyundai Schuhmann Motor Sport team that raced at the 24 hour endurance race from Nurburgring in a Genesis Coupe and will feature several upgrades from the standard model.
The Coupe GT will come with a lowered suspension which brings the car closer to the ground by around 30 mm and a new set of stylish 19″ alloy OZ Ultraleggera wheels finished in Matt Graphite Silver and wrapped in high performance Dunlop Sport Maxx GT tires.
The car is powered by the stock 3.8L V6 engine which is able to produce 299 bhp and 361 Nm of torque and, thanks to a new stainless steel exhaust system it sounds even better than before. It could sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 6.3 seconds and it could reach a top speed of 240 km/h.
Each of these 50 units will start from 41,990 Eur.

2011 Hyundai Elantra/Avante Sedan Unveiled
Hyundai has unveiled today the all new generation of the Hyundai Elantra Sedan at the 2010 Bustan Motor Show, a car that will be dubbed Avante for Hyundai's home market. Compared to the current Elantra, the new model is more eye catching and sportier with Hyundai's fluid design sculpture.
Hyundai has revealed that the front wheel drive new Elantra/Avante will be powered by a new 1.6L Gamma Gasoline Direct Injection engine that will be connected to a 6 speed automatic transmission. This engine will be able to develop 140 HP and 166 Nm of torque and Hyundai claims its 10% more fuel efficient than its direct competitors.
The 2011 Hyundai Elantra/Avante Sedan features HID headlamps, LED combination lamps in the rear, heated rear seats, puddle lamps and an LCD display in the gauge cluster. Hyundai hasn't revealed any images of the interior but it will be probably inspired from the new Sonata.
The new sedan will be launched on the South Korean market later this year under the name "Hyundai Avante" and the Hyundai Elanda will arrive in the showrooms from all over the world at the beginning of 2011.

Hyundai Sonata Hybrid
Hyundai has also premiered today at the New York Auto Show the all new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid that got a unique look and of course, a hybrid powertrain. The car features the new Hybrid Blue Drive architecture that uses lithium polymer battery technology and it's equipped with a hybrid starter generator and an electric motor.
The hybrid powertrain is connected to 6 speed transmission and Hyundai claims that the new "green" model offers a fuel consumption of 37 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway. Together with the electric motor Hyundai equipped the car with a 2.4L Theta II engine that produces 169 HP at 6,000 rpm and 156 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm. The elctric motor delivers 30 kW and 151 lb-ft of torque.
Hyundai will announced further details and pricing for the new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid at a later date.

2011 Hyundai Sonata turbo
Hyundai has unveiled a much awaited turbocharged version of their 2011 Hyundai Sonata at the New York Auto Show today. The new turbo will be the top of the line model for Sonata and will be powered by a direct injected and turbocharged 2.0L four cylinder engine.
There has been considerable speculation about how much power the engine would develop ever since since Hyundai has announced they will add a turbo version to the Sonata line-up at the LA Auto show and today we finally got its performance figures: the 2.0 is able to develop 274 HP and 269 lb-ft of torque.
This translates into 12.2 hp per pound and 68.5 hp per liter which are really good figures for a four door sedan. The engine is connected to a six speed automatic with a manual mode and Hyundai claims the Turbo version has a fuel consumption of 22 mpg city and 34 mpg highway.

Hyundai i-Flow Sport Sedan Concept
Hyundai is going to premiere next week at Geneva the Hyundai i-Flow Sport Sedan Concept, a sport saloon study that features all the typical design cues of the new Hyundai style. Hyundai claims the modern design of the concept car has optimal air flow with a drag coefficient of just 0.25Cd.
The most important feature of the Hyundai i-Flow Sport Sedan Concept is its powertrain and this concept is the first ever Hyundai model to be powered by a diesel-electric hybrid powertrain. The powertrain is made of a new 1.7L U2 diesel engine that went through a two stage turbocharging and an electric motor that drives it's power from a Lithium Ion Polymer battery pack.
This power is transferred to the car's wheels through a six speed dual clutch transmission system and according to Hyundai, the concept has an incredible average fuel consumption of just 3.0l /100 km (78.4 mpg US) and just 85g/km fuel emissions.

The governor of the Bank of England launched an unprecedented attack last night on German austerity, warning that the failure of wealthy states to help poorer countries risked trapping the eurozone in "another lost decade". Mark Carney made a barely coded call for Berlin to yield to Greek demands to relax austerity as he criticised the failings of European leaders. Although not mentioning Angela Merkel by name, his broadside comes amid growing frustration in the United States and Britain at German caution that is blamed for holding back European growth. His intervention will infuriate the German chancellor, however, as she battles to keep Greece in the currency union without provoking demands for concessions from other struggling nations, such as Spain. Mr Carney spoke three days after the left-wing anti-austerity Syriza party surged to victory in the Greek election, sending the eurozone into a new phase of uncertainty. Greek markets were thrown into chaos yesterday, with the Athens Stock Exchange tumbling more than 9 per cent, led by a 27 per cent fall in bank stocks, amid fears that the new government would enact radical reforms under which it would leave the eurozone. Delivering a lecture in Dublin, Mr Carney attacked the efforts of Europe's leaders to complete the changes necessary for a workable currency union. He said that loose monetary policy, such as the €1.1 trillion quantitative easing programme launched las
A mother of three who died in the rescue mission to end last month's siege in Sydney was killed by police bullets, an inquest has been told. Katrina Dawson, 38, a lawyer, was killed as officers stormed the Lindt Café after the gunman, a self-proclaimed supporter of Islamic State, murdered its manager. The police swarmed in as Man Haron Monis forced Tori Johnson to kneel before shooting him once in the back of the head at close range. As officers fired, fragments of bullet ricocheted off hard surfaces hitting Mrs Dawson causing her to lose consciousness and die shortly afterwards. Monis was killed by two shots to the head as he reloaded his gun. Details of the siege, which began on December 15 and ended 17 hours later in the early hours, emerged for the first time, including a 12-minute phone made by Mr Johnson to the police at 9.44am on the orders of t
Two Match of the Day presenters have been landed with tax bills totalling more than £4.5 million after investing in an alleged tax avoidance scheme. Three other pundits on the BBC's primetime football show have also poured money into tax break schemes that have been investigated by Revenue & Customs. The contributors Gary Lineker, Robbie Savage, Martin Keown and Danny Murphy put money in in film investment schemes set up by Ingenious Media Partners. HMRC believes that the schemes, which helped to finance Life of Pi and Avatar, constitute "contrived" tax shelters. Rio Ferdinand, a former captain of England and another Match of the Day regular, invested in a film scheme set up by a company called Scion, according to documents filed at Companies House. He and other investors in the scheme are understood to have settled any tax bills with HMRC in 20

I live in the middle of AZ where it gets to be over 120 degrees in early July - Aug. It doesn't really come down bellow 100 until end Sept. The reason I'm dithering about the weather is because I am from Seattle where I used to grow Foxglove, bamboo and ferns... Now I only kill plants. I need help... no actually I need an intervention. Not only do I not know how to garden anymore but without gardening I hate it here - There must be a way to make a nice garden here that is applicable to the hellish conditions. I figured I'd plant some local varieties of plants but the nurseries I've been to off water loving (soon to be dead) plants. PLEASE I know less than nothing about succulents and precious little about cactus (except how to pick prickly pear pads and grow them). Can someone take pity of me and help me learn which plants I can grow here. I'd sort of like to have a "mosaic" garden - i.e., a lot of small succulents (think hens and ckicks???) making patterns. But I'm not sure that full sun and horrible heat would allow for a successful garden. And I have yet to figure out how cactus can look good... and I had ONE lovely big yucca in my front yard that died from some kind of bore-beetle. Well if you have read this far you can tell. I really need your help. :-) |

Wow, really great ideas, Paul! I feel for you, Dillon. One of our members recently had to move from succulent heaven to a much harsher environment just north of succulent heaven, forcing him to part with much of his large and diverse collection. Rough stuff. I can't help you much but there are some very good growers here with experience in harsh climates. |

It'd be a great start for you to go to a Central Arizona Cactus and Succulent Society meeting - they're free and you'll come away with wheelbarrows of information, especially if you contact them with your question(s). |

If I was gardening in your area, I would be growing some of the South African oxalis species, and a number of other amaryllids. Many of these (but not oxalis) are animal proof. More important is the fact that they are dormant underground during summer in Crematoria, AZ Let us know what you decide to do.... --Rick in CT |
Why not go to your nearest garden center and see what kinds of plants they offer. I am sure you could talk to a worker and find out and get answers. Also you can google what plants do well in your area................... As you drive around, you can see what people are growing in their yards. If you have a covered patio, you may have some choices, but you will be needing to maybe do some misting everyday or every other day for most plants.............goodluck Neysa in California |
Where in AZ, exactly? Can make a difference. Even in Phoenix, where I am, some things do better in different parts of town. Your instincts on most nurseries is generally right -- most of that stuff is from CA and won't live. Look for plants from Mountain States Nurseries or Civano (wholesale growers in AZ). Forget Home Depot/Lowes, generally. Most of their stuff, including cacti comes from CA and won't make it, even if that species grown here would be OK. Even non-native Cacti from Mexico and SA can get toasted here. That said, you can have a great garden here, just gotta learn how. It's just that nothing you liked from the NW will survive here. . If you're in Phoenix, I strongly reccomend some classes from the Desert Botanical Garden. Also strong +1 on the suggestion to look up CASS -- if you're not in Phoenix, their website still has some good info. Generally speaking, you've got to learn the right plant for the right place. Partial shade is key for many, including cacti. Many succulents can't make it outside here, excepting Hawarthias in pots out of the sun. Some aloes are good in the sun (Blue Elves, Veras). Many others do well with partial shade. The trick is some desert trees (Hybrid Palo Verdes) that give dappled shade. Put native cacti in the full sun, non-natives in dappled shade. Many perennials do well in partial shade. Austrailan plants do really well (Eremophilias). African plants too (some euphorbias, some vines). Native desert plants do great, you just have to learn about them. You CAN have the mosaic garden you want with cacti, aloes, and perennials. Let us know specifically where you are in AZ, do some reading/learning and ask some more specific questions and people here can help you. |
Ah. The same thing happened to me... I moved from Oregon to Tucson... All suggestions are good, go on a few club run tours and ask Q's... People who labor in their gardens love to talk about them. Even if you can grow 'em in the heat and sun, steer clear of plants that require lots of water (nursey folk can sometimes steer you that route). Ride your bike through older neighborhoods too, and see what's growing in yards with similar exposure to yours. Start veggies in November/October. -Ming |

There are a few perennials I'd like for my garden but can't locate them in my area garden centers. Specifically, I'm looking for the new coreopsis 'pinwheel,' geranium 'rozanne,' and clematis 'etoile violette'. You'd think the last two would be easy to find, but I'm having no luck. So I was wondering which nurseries any of you would recommend for mail ordering. I've never done it so I don't know what to expect. Also, maybe some of you live in northeast IL (almost Wisconsin)and know where these plants might be available. Thanks! |

You can find Geranium 'Rozanne' and Clematis 'Etoile Violette' at Platt Hill Nusery (platthillnursery.com) in Carpentersville, IL, and the coreopsis at Garden Crossings, a mailorder nursery in MI. |

Thanks! That is very helpful. |
Not about those particular plants but there are several excellent nurseries in WI, Milaeger is one I visit often. Geimer Nursery Long grove, IL is good and big- there are several of them located close to each other. |

I have no knowledge about where you can get these particular varieties. But I do know of a mail order company that my mother and I have purchased from for at least 40 years. It is Jungs in Randolph, Wisconsin. They are family run and have been in business for at least 100 years. They do have a web site that is OK but their catalog is great. I would recommend them. They also have a nursery in Madison which I have never gone to. |

I realize it's too late in the season, but I've found the best way to grow rarer plants is by sowing seeds..Especially annuals. When I look for something special to add to my garden, it seems all stores carry the same plants..nothing unusual..and if you do happen to come across something rare, it's way overpriced.. Plant Nanny, I agree w/you about Jungs..they sell interesting plants/seeds..been ordering from them for yrs. Henry's used to sell about the same plants/prices as Jungs. Can't recall where it's located.. For those of you who live in northern Il, Jamacan Gardens sells a good variety of plants..there's one in, I believe, Libertyville, the other in Morton Grove..I love shopping at both nurseries..Toni |

Whole Foods
Posted on 09 / 29 / 2012I was delighted to find a Whole Foods when I was in Toronto for business - I ended up picking some items up from here. This Whole Foods is at the bottom level of a small building. They carry typical vegan items and I didn't really find anything else special. I'd say this location is average.

I posted a question about this taunton yew a while back, and got some great responses. One concern was the planting distance from the foundation. This pic makes it look skewed a bit. The planting is actually about 3' from the foundation. The long downspout extension has been removed, and the splash block ensures that the yew is not getting any excess runoff. So, previously I mentioned the browning that was going on. I snipped back the brown you see in the picture here. In all, it was probably 1/3 of the shrub. However, there is another symptom that is concerning to me. There are a few branches that look green, but the needles look thinner and are not pliable at all. Very brittle. Any ideas? For what it's worth, this was the worst winter on record here. (literally) There is very, very little winter burn on the other yews. They all look wonderful. |

a lesson: its a conifer.. which is a tree .. but the word shrub.. though of common usage .. it is not a shrub in my world ... we treat each thing a bit differently .... anyway ... you cut it all back without waiting to see what would bud out??? i think that was contrary to the suggested provided in the other post???? ken |
- Posted by idloveamocha (My Page) on Tue, Apr 15, 14 at 19:32
I cut back what was brown and obviously dead. The rest has been left. The rest is beginning to bud out. I am well aware it is a conifer. |

I am a single mother to three amazing children. Brandon 13, Zoe 12, and Connor 7. I am a self taught decorator and have been doing this for 10 years. I think there is a lot to be said about teaching yourself, as you learn not only the way to do things...but the way NOT to as well. I am part owner and head chef/decorator at The Sweet Life Bakery in New Orleans, LA. Between my kids and my work, I have very little time for much else, though I do have many other interests. |

Robot Replacement
In 2004 toddlers at a California preschool were introduced to a new teacher named RUBI, which was about their size with plastic eyes and a screen on its tummy. Equipped with microphone ears and software that could recognize and respond to human emotional sounds, RUBI taught them 10 new vocabulary words, uttering "Excellent!" or dancing every time someone piped up with the right answer. In two weeks, RUBI increased the students' word mastery by 25 percent. Only no one said being a substitute teacher was easy: On the first day of class, a few overzealous toddlers tore RUBI's arm off. —J.D.

I started using the Sunday Shampoo after my beloved Oscar Blandi Shampoo D'Alternanza was discontinued and I was on a quest to find a new clarifying shampoo. I do not love it as much, namely because it is not as gentle. It can be harsh on dry, damaged hair and tends to leave my hair feeling tangled prior to putting conditioner in. However, it is very effective. I use it every week to remove styling product, chlorine (I am a frequent swimmer) and hard water mineral build up from my hair. I have yet to find a clarifying shampoo that is both effective and gentle, so this remains my favorite for now. I always follow with a deep conditioner/masque.

I bought this two days ago due to my hair being lank, lifeless and greasy. I had just washed my hair and as I was blow drying it, it still felt and looked greasy. At the end of my tether, I had a search for clarifying shampoos and saw the reviews for this.
I was apprehensive as I have colour treated hair but anything was worth a try!
I bought it from Boots for £17 which isn't too expensive IMO as it's only used once a week. I used it last night and heeding reviews that say it dries out your hair, I did a deep conditioning mask afterwards and my hair is feeling luscious! It's seriously the best my hair has felt in a long time and I am so pleased that I made the purchase. Shiny, manageable and bouncy. My colleague this morning actually asked if I had gotten my hair done as it "looks a lot thicker".
I'll definitely consider re-purchasing this once it runs out.

This is BY FAR the best clarifying shampoo I've ever used. It is gentle, yet it gets my hair totally clean and SO easy to style. The sales associate at Sephora recommended it to me, and I'm so glad I tried it! I have fine hair, but a LOT of it, and it is shoulder length. It is very color processed, and for some reason my hair seems to hold onto product and get heavy rather easily. (I also over-do it on the products sometimes....I grew up in the 80s and never was able to stop with the hair products, ha ha). Anyway, when I use this my hair is SUPER easy to blow-dry, and so shiny it is ridiculous. I sometimes add a little of this to my usual shampoo (Kerastase Bain Satin) or I just use it straight. It does NOT affect or strip my color. I'm madly in love with this product.
EDIT: This works well, but has been stripping my dark hair color. Ugh.
EDIT: I'm blonde now. Stopped using silicone based products and have not had a need for a clarifying shampoo since.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a pretty good clarifying shampoo, and like its name suggests, I use it 1x/week to degunk my hair. My hair is a bit drier after I use this, but not terribly so, especially if followed up with a conditioner. It has the same scent as the B+B Thickening hair spray, but the scent doesn't linger. I don't think I'd repurchase because I don't really *need* a clarifying shampoo, since I don't use product that often, but it's nice to use every once in a while.
Ok. So I'm going to rate it highly because, it does what it says-- and a really good job. It's not the products fault that I don't know how to read- and washed my color treated hair with it... and had it seriously remove my color!
I'm expecting that someone else may be similar to me LOL and not read the package. DO NOT USE THIS ON COLOR TREATED HAIR :)
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is my HG clarifying shampoo. I have repurchased it many times and will continue to do so.
I use this once a week and it's fantastic. It does an amazing job of getting rid of all the grime and product buildup in my hair. My hair always feels sqeaky clean after using it. Yes, it is drying, but use a treatment after it and it shouldn't be a problem.
It's a bit expensive, but it lasts for ages. I bought mine in August last year and still have a bit over 1/4 left in it.
Please, give this a try. You won't be sorry.
4 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have nothing bad to say about this shampoo! For those who are complaining about it drying their hair out, well it IS a clarifying shampoo! It says on the bottle to use just one a week. (hence, the name SUNDAY shampoo) And it does exactly what it says. You barely have to use any, just a tiny amount, and it gets rid of all build up/products/grime; it even somehow makes my hair even softer after I use it. Which is weird, cause most shampoos don't do that. Also, I do have highlights/color treated hair, but I don't mind using this on it. My hair is kinda blondeish red right now and I'm trying to get that to fade. Hopefully this will do the trick in that regard. Oh yeah, and I love the scent.
This is my first Bumble and Bumble product, and I am a very happy and satisfied customer. It's expensive, sure, but I don't mind paying high cost for products that actually help me look and feel my best. :)
This is good for clarifying once in a while, but I would not recommend it for anyone with delicate hair or shedding issues. When I use this shampoo, there is hair everywhere..in the drain, on the floor, all over the brush. I think I would go bald if I used this even just once a week. Smells medicinal/ gender neutral. It costs around $20 for 8 ounces. I gave it to my husband, he thinks it's okay.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Love this shampoo! Does a fabulous job of clarifying. Can't use right now because of colored hair, but will definitely repurchase once I'm back to my natural color.
This is probably one of the best clarifying shampoos you can get. It gets rid of build up and product but doesn't get rid of the moisture. It's also a bit pricey but you only are supposed to use a dime-sized amount once a week or so and you don't have bad hair for a day just because you want to remove product. One thing, don't use it if you have color treated hair because it will get rid of a good chunk of your dye. Anyway, I recommend it.

"OMG..delish!!! I just served this for my Christmas dinner and it was a hit :) The only change I made was to leave out the red peppers. Also I think two eggs would have been more than enough, but FANTASTIC! Love it, will use this recipe for years to come."""

Hello all!
I have been gardening for about three or four years now - and though I admitted defeat after Year One in the Tulip department (to the deer), I want to try again. I have a HUGE deck, and I thought perhaps a low, wide pot with lots of tulips might be nice. Deer rarely climb stairs (it's happened in our neighbourhood, but not to us yet). I have a couple of pots I've used in the past to grow 6ft Cannas. They are 2ft high and about 2 and a half ft across.
Firstly, how densely can I plant tulip bulbs? I can go deeper with taller ones right? So in theory I could have "layers" in the pot. My Botanus catalogue has come, and my LOVES are: Peter Cottontail mix: Double-Flower Peony-like mix EARLY
I thought I'd add their mini-botanical mix: EARLY-MID
So... Can I do "layers" in the pot? How snugly can I plant them? Thanks SO much!

Follow-Up Postings:
Yes, in theory you can plant bulbs pretty snugly in a pot, nearly touching and in layers. However, where will your pot be during the winter? If left outside I wonder if it will freeze solid which would be likely to kill the bulbs. I am also addicted to tulips and our yard is home to many deer. I've been able to battle them off with Liquid Fence sprayed religiously. I still lose some but overall it works out OK most of the time. Oh and btw we have had deer come up on our deck which is always a sight to see! |
