text: Great stories have been passed down through the years at American Rifleman, and some of them take on the stuff of legend. Take, for example, former Rifleman Editor Walter J. Howe wordlessly smashing a coffeepot with repeated blows from a hammer because too many staffers congregated around it for far too long (which apparently reduced productivity). In Howe's defense, they had been repeatedly warned. Then there's the saga of former NRA Publications Executive Director George Martin's quest for a minimalist, lightweight dangerous game gun. Martin, an experienced African hunter willing to take a bit of pounding for the sake of an easier-carrying, lightweight dangerous game rifle in .458 Win. Mag., had a delightful, petite gun with a nice stick of custom-made walnut. Time and exaggeration have reduced its weight through the years to a mere 6 ½ lbs., a rifle that would literally dance in your hands. When handloads were being worked up, legend has it, the elegant little rifle exploded in a shower of splinters, leaving it shattered and broken clean through at the wrist. In a recent conversation with George, now retired, the story is just that—a story—one that has no basis in fact. The actual rifle, a 10¼-lb. Whitworth in .375 H&H built by Dave Yale (February 1984, p. 28), made two safaris with George and then, with recoil reducers, was used in Africa by his petite and elegant wife Mary. True or not, I've always kept that story in mind every time I look at a lightweight, hard-recoiling gun. And the new Kimber Talkeetna—chambered in the "medium-bore".375 H&H Mag., the minimum for hunting the "big five" in Africa and an ideal cartridge for big Alaskan bears—fits the description of a lightweight heavy hitter very well indeed. In a trend pioneered by Ultra Light Arms' Melvin Forbes, extremely light or "mountain" rifles have become all the rage; they're not just for sheep hunters anymore. My opinion of synthetic-stocked rifles has moderated through the years. At one time, I wouldn't have such a contrivance in my house, let alone in my gun safe. In short, because of Forbes, I'm a convert and believe Kimber's .308 Win. 84M Montana sets the standard for the class in lightweight American-made production rifles. But dangerous game rifles are different. A magazine rifle in .375 H&H Mag. or better needs weight to tame recoil. Many authorities give an ideal weight of around 10 1/4 to 10 ½ lbs. Named for a town that begins many a backcountry Alaskan adventure, the Model 8400 Talkeetna shaves about 2 lbs. off the "ideal" number, weighing in at 7 lbs., 9 ozs. unscoped. With a Leupold VX-7 1.5-6X 24 mm and accompanying steel Talley bases and rings, the rifle tips the scale at 8 lbs., 13 ozs. So is the Talkeetna too light? The answer is an unequivocal "no." Does it kick? Yes, briskly. Can it be managed? Yes, quite well. And can it be carried comfortably? Yes, all day every day. If there is such a thing as an all-around cartridge, it is likely the .375 H&H Mag., which dates to 1912. In his 1936 book Big Game Rifles And Cartridges, and after praising the .350 Griffin & Howe Magnum and the .350 Newton (good luck finding brass), Elmer Keith wrote the following about the .375 H&H: "The .375 Magnum will do the same thing at any range needed on big game, and is also one of our most reliable rifles for larger game. It will also kill the smaller game cleanly, with little waste of meat, if the shots are placed where they should be whenever possible… One's choice of these larger caliber weapons is mainly a personal one, and one subject to the individual choice as regards the weight the user cares to carry. "For me, after having carried far heavier rifles in the game fields of Alaska and Africa, the scoped Talkeetna, at slightly less than 9 lbs., is a rifle I indeed "care" to carry. Most hunting rifles are carried a lot and shot a little, but even then recoil has to be manageable, as a rapid second shot is often required, and you need to be more afraid of an animal that can maul or gore you than the recoil of your rifle. The Talkeetna's stock design makes that possible. More Than The Right Lines The stock has a gentle, almost subtle, shadbelly shape forward of the trigger guard where the magazine area is expanded to accommodate four rounds of .375. Inside the blind magazine, there's a steel box that engages recesses cut for it in the underside of the receiver. The follower is aluminum, and tension is provided by a W-shaped flat spring. A Trim, Proven Action The recoil lug, sandwiched between the receiver and barrel when the latter is screwed into place, measures 0.226" deep and is 1.05" wide. On the test rifle, the lug was well glass-bedded, then, oddly, the bedding was painted over in the same gray as the rest of the stock. Two screws, which have aluminum pillars chamfered to meet the inside contours of the screw heads, secure the action to the stock. One passes through the rear of the aluminum trigger guard while the other threads into the bottom of the receiver ring. A Barrel With The Right Features At The Bench And In The Field

The opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) has conducted a counter-assessment of figures highlighted as electoral fraud in the Supreme Court's verdict annulling the results of the February 7 poll.
The Supreme Court in its controversial judgement issued last week based its findings on a secret police report compiled by the court itself, with the assistance of police from the Forensic Directorate Department. The court ruled the election had lacked legitimacy, as there were 5,623 irregularities in the voter registry. The secret report was not shown to the Elections Commission's legal team.
Former President Nasheed – who finished the September 7 poll on top with 45.45 percent of the popular vote – told the press on Saturday that the party's legal team had only noted 242 instances of possible fraudulent votes in the Supreme Court's majority ruling, and 473 instances of potentially fraudulent votes in the dissenting view given by both Chief Justice Ahmed Faiz Hussain and Judge Abdulla Areef.
Nasheed argued that neither of these figures would have made any impact on the outcome of the presidential poll.
The final results of the poll held on September 7 showed Nasheed securing 95,224 votes. The Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) fielding Maldives former Dictator Maumoon Abdul Gayoom's half brother, Abdulla Yameen finishedin second position with 53,099 votes, 25.35 percent of the popular vote. Jumhoree Party (JP) finished at third position with 50,422 votes – 24.07 percent of the vote – while incumbent President Mohamed Waheed Hassan finished at the bottom with just 5.13 percent of the vote or 10,750 votes.
The former President stated that while the margin between the candidates who finished third and second place of the race stood at 2,677 votes, adding either of the figures to the total number of votes obtained by Gasim Ibrahim would not have changed the outcome.
Analysis of the figures
At a press conference today, the MDP emphasised that irregularities on the voter registry such as incorrect address details did not prove or correspond to an instance of a fraudulent vote.
The party tallied the instances of fraud which were explicitly noted in the rulings, and stated this figure was a fraction of the number needed to influence the outcome.
According to the majority ruling, seven underage voters had cast their ballot in the poll while the dissenting view by Chief Justice Faiz and Judge Areef noted 12 underage voters as having cast their ballots.
The majority ruling highlighted 18 supposedly deceased people who cast their vote in the poll, while the dissenting view claimed 14 dead people had cast their ballots.
Regarding the repetition of names in the voter list, the majority ruling highlighted that 225 entries in the list as repeated. However, the dissenting view by the two judges stated 174 entries were repeated in the voter list, while 22 entries were found to have been repeated when compared to the Department of National Registration (DNR)'s database.
The majority ruling noted that seven people without records in the DNR database had voted in the poll, while the dissenting view noted 207 such people had voted in the poll, out of which 96 had voted under National Identification Card (NIC) numbers that did not match with the number in the voter list.
Both the rulings noted that seven people were given the right to cast their vote, even when their names had not been present in the voting list, after their names were added to the list in handwriting.
"No legitimate, internationally acceptable grounds to annul the poll"
Nasheed said while the Supreme Court had no legitimate or internationally acceptable grounds to annul the poll, the party would still work with the Elections Commission's decision and was preparing for a fresh election to be held on October 19.
"Even if we get a chance as small as that of the eye of a needle to compete in a presidential election, we are going to win it swiftly. Our opponents have admitted it. They simply cannot win over us through a vote of the people," Nasheed said.
The former president criticised the election guidelines laid down by the Supreme Court, which he described as the effective creation of new legislation made by the court. The mandate given by the constitution to the Supreme Court was to interpret laws, not to make new ones, he said.
"We have an elected parliament that is mandated to draft legislation. It is completely normal for Supreme Court to declare a part of this legislation illegitimate. But these guidelines, regardless of the name, are new legislation that instructs a state institution to follow a specific procedure. That is creating a law. They do not have that authority," Nasheed stressed.
Nasheed said when the Supreme Court issued an order, this was required to be in pursuant to the law or the constitution, and if this was not the case, no institution was necessitated to follow those orders.
He also criticised the Supreme Court's October 10 midnight ruling ordering the Elections Commission to compile a new voter registry, only days after releasing a judgement that ordered it to just amend the errors in the re-registration process.
"I think what is really happening here is that these four judges do not know what they are doing. I don't think they are doing this purposely. As you know, these four have acquired very strange forms of degrees and maybe it is just that they do not have a clue about what they are doing," Nasheed suggested.
"The current actions of the Supreme Court have now become acts carried out against the state. These four judges have become a threat to our national security. I call upon the security services to act immediately," Nasheed said.
He expressed confidence that his political opponents would not succeed in their attempts to invalidate his candidacy, repeatedly claiming that this was "impossible".
"People will not be surprised by attempts to bar me from contesting. I think the issue about candidacy is no longer newsworthy," Nasheed said, when the question regarding his candidacy was asked.

The world is now beginning to understand the level of corruption of the old dictatorship and tourism oligarchs. If we do not have a clean election, we will be a broken state like a failed African tin pot country over night. The world is watching.
Private Tourist on Sun, 13th Oct 2013 2:30 AM
EC: Can't you judges ever make up your minds?
SC: Well, yes and no.
In short the SC used to be indecisive, now they are not sure.
Duhhhhhh !!
I think the military are getting nervous and I think the military are leaning on the SC in private!
Ahmed Bin Addu Bin Suvadheeb on Sun, 13th Oct 2013 3:03 AM
"… As you know, these four have acquired very strange forms of degrees…"
(1) I wouldn't go that far. Does Ali Hameed even have a degree? He may have bought a piece of paper from Makkah. After all, nothing of Islam seems to have rubbed on him, despite spending time in Makkah, the birth place of Islam. Quite the opposite seems to have happened to him.
Prancing in front of a prostitute he uttered, "Oh my God, if I drink that [wine] I might get caught…"
(2) As for the rest of the four, if they have a degree, it's not the worth the paper it's written on.
(3) Yameen has come up with a new excuse to delay the elections or annul it if it doesn't go his way. The issue is verification of fingerprints on voter re-registration papers! There is no institution with the ability to verify that.
Yameen would suggest the Police! The same "intelligence" unit that compiled the report which annulled the election will be asked to verify the re-registration papers! The stupidity and boldness of this man is taking him to new heights of notoriety.
Angagatha Mithuru on Sun, 13th Oct 2013 4:26 AM
A state of ignorance is exactly where the worst criminals prosper. These judges may be just what Mr. Nasheed says they are, but they, along with Mr. Gayoom,and Gasim, must be held responsible for the annulment of the first round. Ignorance is no excuse for the destruction of people's rights.
Andrew Andreas on Sun, 13th Oct 2013 4:35 AM
The judges do know what they are doing.
They are trying the cover their arses and hide the filth and crimes they have committed.
Definitely, none of them have any time or thoughts on what would be best for the country. For them, it's their god given rights to use and abuse young boys and girls, concubines, goats, in fact anything that moves. You see this culture, mostly breeding in Mideast countries.
The Jaahil party, aka adhaalath, wants us to be in 7th century Arabia. Not in a 21st century globalised economy, where we have to recognise humanity and democracy. Where religious intolerable and factional wars due to their beliefs, must be eliminated.
But, if we do that, these judges, backed by mullahs, would be regarded as irrelevant, and not required.
Who gave these men, the authority to propagate their dimwit thinking and beliefs, on to others? They feel it's up to them to drag, whip, skin if they have to, all of the man kind into their heaven. Where sex with Virgin girls, boys, goats and wine will be available in abundance. Sick minds, bred out of ignorance.
We need to rewrite the constitution banning religious intolerance. Wake up!
Anni will do that. Inshallah.
aliwaleed on Sun, 13th Oct 2013 7:16 AM
Nasheed is wrong here.
The 4 wayward judges know exactly what they are doing. They are using their position to make money.
In another country this would be called CORRUPTION.
Hussain Manik on Sun, 13th Oct 2013 9:34 AM
Ali Waleed you are damn right. They know exactly what they are doing. They have hijacked the supreme court to ascertain they make millions and they also protect their positions. It is a matter of time that these elements are removed from power by natural causes like sicknesses and accidents for they have committed a great crime by acting against the swearing by Almighty Allah
Ahmed on Sun, 13th Oct 2013 9:43 AM
Good to focus on the SC like this.
Hear Ye Its All So Supreme on Sun, 13th Oct 2013 10:50 AM
Hear ye, I am The Supreme.
"We have an elected parliament that is mandated to draft legislation. It is completely normal for Supreme Court to declare a part of this legislation illegitimate. But these guidelines, regardless of the name, are new legislation that instructs a state institution to follow a specific procedure. That is creating a law. They do not have that authority," Nasheed stressed."
Exactly – the Supreme Court is being a political actor rather than being an interpretive body. In any other functioning democracy, the court only interprets the law – it cannot issue orders to the police or security forces.
Hear ye, I am The Supreme.
saabas on Sun, 13th Oct 2013 11:08 AM
what ever you say and do, think a bit about your country,Nasheed is really some one who hates your religion, all the other others are running behind money.. you guys are puppets of these traitor
Bitter Truth on Sun, 13th Oct 2013 11:50 AM
It seems like a day ago that ALL judges were deemed incapable. Give another day and they will ALL be deemed incapable again.
Aima on Sun, 13th Oct 2013 2:14 PM
What was the supreme court verdict trying to ensure?
1. Elections be fair, free and transparent.
2.That each citizen eligible to vote be given his/her right to vote.
3.To compile a voter register that is based on the data base at the Department of national registration.
Which of these three goals can any citizen or international agency object to?

Whats the arabic word for re-registration. Cant someone teach these blokes, or at least tell them the arabic equivalent.

Kyle Maikath, a young sales rep from MaxSea, which produces software that gauges currents, depth, and temperature in the sea, sets up a laptop computer and projector. A large map of Antigua and Barbuda, which is 30 miles north, appears on a patio wall. As though mesmerized by a flashy lure, several boat captains glide to the detailed chart. They're responsible for leading their teams to waters that might be home to the elusive marlin and sailfish. When trolling for fish, a captain scans the horizon while standing atop the bridge, which is about 15 feet above the sea. But this software makes a captain virtually omniscient, as though he floats high above and swims deep below. "I've got a real hard-on for this stuff," one captain mutters about the technology.
The easy camaraderie between BXRL crews doesn't preclude behind-the-scenes strategizing. Captains have been vying for the services of Frank Hart, a local who's considered by many to be the best marlin fisherman on the island. Hart is a slim unassuming fellow with a puffy white beard. He talks at length with Robert "Cujo" Brinkmeyer, captain of Team Galati, a new addition to the league who recently set a record by catching or tagging 287 blue marlin in a single season. With the build of a bullmastiff, Brinkmeyer earned his sobriquet after biting someone during a bar fight. He's managed to snag Hart for a sea outing tomorrow, a coup he believes will give him an edge on Monday.
A short time later, Darrin Isaacs coaxes Hart over to the software demonstration. He asks if certain currents and depths shown on the charts correlate with areas Hart knows to be good for fishing off the island's east coast. They do.
Norm Isaacs shows up late with his wife, Julia, who is executive producer of the Billfishing Xtreme Release League series. She's a gregarious blond who appears considerably younger than her husband. Wearing a BXRL jersey, she brags about Norm's charisma. "Norm has such a way with people," she says. "ESPN recognized that right away."
Past midnight, after drinking the better part of a bottle of scotch, Flynn crashes for the night on a cot inside the lodge. He's up early the next morning, Friday, to deep-sea fish with some of last night's revelers. "You wanna catch marlin, you gotta be up early," he bellows on his way out the door.
Marlin are the deep-sea grail for hard-core anglers.
"It's like a Little Leaguer who wants to play the major leagues because that's the height of the sport," explains Mike Gautreaux, the BXRL's general manager. "You want to challenge yourself as much as you can. And billfish are harder to catch and require more out of you than any other fishing. It's much easier to catch a tuna or a mahimahi or any other fish. You need to entice marlin. There are a lot of things that have to go right from the time he shows up until the time he's released."
Marlin, however, like many of the sea's largest fish, are facing extinction, primarily because of indiscriminate commercial fishing. While U.S. commercial fishing boats are required to release all billfish accidentally caught in nets, they are kept and sold for food by most other fishing fleets, according to Jim Chambers, a fisheries ecologist who analyzed rates of extinction in a 2001 article in The Big Game Fishing Journal. If population trends continue, he concluded, the blue marlin will approach extinction by about 2008. He calls on sport fishermen to set an example by promoting catch and release and refraining from fishing during the marlin spawning season in spring and early summer. The solution, he contends, is outlawing multihook longlines and gillnets used by commercial fishermen.
"Killing fish is bad for the sport," Norm Isaacs says. He criticizes tournaments that promote trophy-taking, and that's why he was adamant that the word release appear in the league's name. "I thought we needed to show people protecting the resource."
A healthy saltwater fishery equates to a robust economy. Florida hosts more than 2.4 million saltwater anglers a year who spend almost $3 billion on trip-related costs, equipment, transportation, food, and lodging, according to 2001 figures by the American Sportfishing Association.
Isaacs' passion for billfishing began as a young man, when he joined his father on a deep-sea outing off the coast of Texas. It was then, he says, that "I got my hat handed to me by a 400-pound marlin that I didn't catch. He won the fight, but it was me who was hooked after that.
"Marlin are probably the hardest fish to go out there and catch on a regular basis. It takes some dedication. Marlin are pretty tough fish. Most will try you a little bit. It takes time and effort and physical power, or at least a good technique.
"What they have is a lot of muscle, and when they get scared and want to get away, it's hard to stop them. They're big, strong, and fast. They have a high metabolism and have to eat frequently. You can be there when they're not hungry. You have to keep mowing the lawn and mowing the lawn. I've seen five boats go over the same spot and the sixth one -- bang! -- there's the marlin. He probably wasn't hungry during the first five. I mean, when you drive down a street in Miami, you go by four Burger Kings and five McDonalds and finally you stop at one. Well, why didn't you stop at the others? You weren't hungry. Same deal."

Idle No More: Hints of a Global Super-Movement. What started as a murmur in early October from First Nations People in Canada in response to Bill C45 has become a movement that echoes the sentiments of people all over the world, a battle cry of love for the planet, "Idle No More.
" At first glance it might appear that this movement is isolated and doesn't effect you if you are not native or if you don't live in Canada, yet it does.

DescriptionA first-year resident at a major Boston children's hospital, Peyton Shields finally has the career she's always dreamed of, even though her marriage to Kevin, an up-and-coming young lawyer, is suffering from her hard work and impossibly long hours. But a late-night drive home in a heavy snowstorm changes everything when she is forced off the road and she loses something precious and irreplaceable. No one, not even Kevin, believes Peyton's claims that the "accident" was deliberate. Suddenly her wonderful life has turned dark and uncertain, and the terror has only just begun. Her husband is growing inexplicably distant and bitter, accusing her of paranoia, betrayal, and infidelity. And a series of bizarre and frightening events is moving Peyton steadily closer to a faceless, resourceful enemy who is watching her every move.

James Brighton Jackson, a painter and decorator from London, was the first of our family to emigrate to Australia (in 1852). Seemingly attracted to the then Colony of Victoria by the great gold rush of the mid-nineteenth century, James took his family from the comfort and safety of England to live in Castlemaine, then very much a town of tents and shantys, where he plied his trade for many years. In 1860, Jens Christian Hansen, a nineteen year old emigrant from Denmark, arrived to "make his fortune" in the Castlemaine gold fields. Three years later Jens and James' daughter Alice were married. Much of their lives were spent travelling from mining town to mining town in the Castlemaine District as Jens worked his gold claims until, finally, an old man, he and Alice retired in their little cottage in Castlemaine. On the other side of the continent, fifteen year old Sarah Evans arrived in Western Australia on the Palestine, followed two days later by Alfred Gray, Religious Instructor and teacher on the convict ship The Pyrenees (1853). Sarah was, for a time, Alfred's housekeeper, however in 1854 they married and, after moving to S.A., they spent the rest of their lives in that State where Alfred worked as a teacher. David and Mary Rees left Wales sometime in the 1870's, arriving in Brisbane where they had two daughters, one of whom died as a babe and the other, Alice, was to eventually arrive in that melting pot of our family, Castlemaine. We don't know what happened to David and Mary, only that Alice arrived in Castlemaine with her Aunt Jane (McLean), her guardian, from New Zealand The Pickards didn't make it to Australia until 1912,which was when John and Elizabeth left their farm in the Yorkshire Dales and set sail for Melbourne on the S.S. Irishman. The motivation for John and Elizabeth was, as is so often the case with emigrants, simply the hope that they would find a better life for their children somewhere other than in their home country. |

Hi All
Just signed up as I'm on the look out for a Mondeo ST TDCI.
I come from a long history of french motors (4 Saxos, 2 1#2's, 2 Clio V6's) so don't know that much about them. All I know is that I need a good mix of practicality and performance. I owned an ST 200 about 10 years ago and said I would go back a Mondeo when I became an old man

Starting A Blog | Blogging For Money
So you're starting a blog, a splash page, landing page, or any website and trying to sell products to your viewers. Humans have a natural tendency to group prices based on a few characteristics which will be detailed later. Internet marketing has skyrocketed and more people are cashing in on this amazing industry with blogging for money.
The growth will continue far into our lifetimes so the earlier you can take advantage the better. Internet marketing is a unique situation because every single website's promotional tools are different. There is not a single website that is identical to anything else out there. This gives you the freedom to use your mind and be creative when trying to market online through a blog or other website.
How To Set Prices When Blogging For Money
Rule Of Thumb: Price your products just below one of the common mental barrier groups of prices. People often think if spending money in terms of digits, for example $9.00 has one digit to the left of the decimal. Perhaps the cost of an item is $19.00, there is two digits to the left of the decimal. Human's brain are wired to think in a way that groups prices together. Specifically if a person were to see a price tag of $9 and $5, they will group these prices as comparable in their mind.
How can you use this science to your advantage? If you want to maximize your profits then sell an item within the same "group of prices" so the customer believes they are still buying the item at an affordable price. Another example would be an item priced at $15.00. The customer would likely still buy that item if it was priced at $19 because they are still within the same group of

How to Build a Lightbulb: Bringing New Light to Science Education
The SSEC offers a variety of SSEATs, but I focused mainly on Energy: Past, Present, and Future. As a college student pursuing a career in medicine but also preparing to teach science in a Washington, DC public high school, I came into the Energy Academy with a unique perspective. Because I assisted with the planning, I knew that the academy would include many hands-on activities and one-of-a-kind learning experiences in the Smithsonian museums. However, I did not realize the true value of SSEATs until I had the chance to work through some experiments and activities with the teachers. One of my most memorable experiences from the Energy Academy was when we worked with the National Museum of Natural History's Spark!Lab to try to re-invent the lightbulb. During the activity, we used different types of metal wire, a glass bulb, and a battery to see what combination and arrangement of the wires works most effectively to produce light. Some of the wires glowed brightly but very quickly burned up within the glass bulb. Other wires gave off only a dim light but lasted much longer. Although it took us a few tries, and we burned several pieces of metal, it was precisely that experience of trial-and-error work that helped me understand how an incandescent lightbulb really works.

Barnard sees Southend through
The Shrimpers were knocked out by Cheltenham at the same stage of the competition a year ago, but the League One side exacted revenge at Whaddon Road. The home side led through Elvis Hammond's strike in the final seconds of the opening period after Southend had controlled most of the half. Dave Bird's cross fell to Andy Gallinagh, whose attempted shot was forced over the line by Hammond from close range. Loan defender Matt Heath was left all alone in the penalty area to meet Alan McCormack's cross in the 20th minute, but he guided his header against the left post. Southend levelled when Heath headed Simon Francis' cross back into the six-yard box and Barnard stooped to head over the line in the 76th minute. The winner came with two minutes to go when Francis crossed for Barnard to nod home at the far post and send the 176 travelling fans wild.
