Ulsan PWA World Cup - Menegatti and Jaggi victorious at Jinha beach
Fri, 10 May 2013
On the final day of the Ulsan PWA World Cup, a promising forecast never quite materialized as hazy skies and cooler air temperatures inhibited the local thermal effect from kicking in. With winds blowing anywhere between 3-23 knots the competitors had to wait until 5:30pm before the racing began. However, after the completion of heat nine, a combination of premature starts and fluctuating winds prevented any further heats from being finished. The sailors were released for the final time this week at 6:30pm.
With the fourth race not being completed no discards came into play, which means this week will live long in the memory of Alberto Menegatti (Starboard / Point-7) as he claims his maiden event victory on the PWA World Tour. However, the Italian was made to sweat it out for almost an hour this evening having been disqualified from heat eleven, after being a little too eager to make a good start.
This presented the opportunity for Antoine Albeau (RRD / NeilPryde) to swoop in and steal Menegatti's thunder, but it wasn't to be as the wind soon deteriorated, leaving a delighted - but relieved - Menegatti to revel in his success. Today is also a big day for his sail sponsors - Point-7 - who will be celebrating in Italy tonight having finished on the podium for the first time in their history.
Alberto Menegatti speaking after his first ever event victory: 'I thought I'd lost the event - even though Antoine (Albeau) would have still had to finish third or better in the winners' final - so I'm still processing it. I'm super happy, I'd like to thank my fin sponsors - Z Fins - for their help throughout the whole winter as their fins allow me to be fast in both flat water and waves. I'd also like to thank my friend from South Africa Peter Langley after he helped me a lot when I was there this winter. At the start of the season if someone would've offered me third, fourth or fifth place I'd have happily taken it. To have finished in first is just a dream. I also need to thank both my sail and board sponsors as the equipment couldn't work better and I couldn't have wished for a better start.'
In the women's fleet Karin Jaggi (Patrik / Severne) reaffirmed her title winning credentials after a magnificent performance over the three eliminations, which were completed. The multiple-time world champion reigned victorious in two of those races, whilst finishing second in the other to stamp her authority over the event. In doing so, the Swiss gem becomes the first woman to prevent Valerie Arrighetti (Tabou / Gaastra / Mystic) from claiming the Jinha Beach crown since 2010 - when the reigning world champion missed the event due to a shoulder injury.
Karin Jaggi speaking after winning the first event of the season: 'It's always good to naturally start the season ahead. The best thing for me is that I feel really comfortable on my equipment, I still made a few mistakes, but I have such good board speed and control in pretty much all conditions. I think it can be quite a good season for me. Now I'll be traveling to Thailand for a bit for work, before going back to Australia, then heading back to train in Europe - I'll probably head to Gran Canaria early to get used to the conditions. '
Please note that there will be no racing tomorrow - the sailors will be treated to a city tour of Ulsan by the organizers, which will conclude another fantastic event at South Korea's famed Jinha Beach. Thank you for tuning into the action this week and we hope you will join us again from June 11th as the men's slalom fleet head to Costa Brava until 16th June.

Antibiotics for bacterial meningitis
Generic Name | Brand Name |
ampicillin | |
cefotaxime | Claforan |
ceftriaxone | Rocephin |
gentamicin sulfate | |
penicillin G | |
vancomycin | Vancocin |
Why It Is Used
Antibiotics may be prescribed alone or in combinations to treat bacterial meningitis.
How Well It Works
Ampicillin and penicillin G are effective against many bacteria that cause meningitis, including Listeria monocytogenes, certain strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, and group B streptococcus.
Ceftriaxone and cefotaxime also are effective against many bacteria that cause meningitis, including most Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae type b, and Escherichia (E.) coli.
Gentamicin sulfate is effective against E. coli. It often is used with ampicillin to treat people who have bacterial meningitis caused by group B streptococci.
Vancomycin is effective against many bacteria that are not killed by other antibiotics.
Side Effects
The most common side effects of antibiotics include:
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Diarrhea.
- Allergic reactions including skin rash, fever, and sometimes difficulty breathing.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Antibiotics used to treat bacterial meningitis usually are given into a vein (intravenous, or IV), 1 to 4 times a day. The number of days the medicine is given (between 7 and 21) depends on the bacteria causing the infection, the severity of the illness, the person's age, and whether the person is likely to develop severe meningitis or complications.
Penicillin and cefotaxime are two of the antibiotics most frequently used to treat meningitis. But some bacteria (particularly Streptococcus pneumoniae) are becoming increasingly resistant to penicillin. So doctors often combine different types of antibiotics to try to kill all bacteria. For infants older than 1 month, treatment may include vancomycin and cefotaxime or ceftriaxone. For infants younger than 1 month, vancomycin may be added to the usual treatment of ampicillin and cefotaxime or ceftriaxone.
Ciprofloxacin and rifampin are often effective at preventing infection when they are given to people who have been exposed to certain bacteria that cause meningitis. Rifampin is the preferred medicine for children.
Some people may be allergic to ampicillin and penicillin G.
People who receive gentamicin sulfate or vancomycin need to be checked for hearing problems, low back pain, or less-than-expected amounts of urine. These medicines can cause hearing loss and kidney damage. Kidney damage usually clears up after the medicines are stopped.
People should take antibiotics only when they have a bacterial infection. Antibiotics do not kill viruses and other organisms. Because of the problem of resistance, people who take antibiotics when they do not have a bacterial infection may require stronger antibiotics for future bacterial infections.

I love that hotels guarantee not only a room, but a room to your preference. I recently did not state a preference of smoking versus non-smoking when I reserved a hotel room through one of those mega travel booking website, and found out that when you do not state a preference then you will typically get a smoking room.
And boy had that room been smoked in! When we politely requested a non-smoking room in exchange, we were given a new room and politely told that if we do not state a preference, this will likely happen again.
I'm sure it goes both ways for smokers or non-smokers it is nice that our preferences be met via reservation!

Sony has parted company with SuperBot Entertainment, the studio responsible for last year's PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale. Sony will now continue to support the brawler in-house at Santa Monica Studios.
In a statement released by Sony, the firm confirmed that it was an amicable split and that the publisher will continue to support the game and forthcoming DLC plans from Santa Monica:
"Sony Computer Entertainment can confirm that the working agreement with developer Superbot Entertainment has amicably ended. We have had a positive working relationship with this talented studio, and wish them the best of success in their next endeavor. PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale and the title's forthcoming DLC releases will continue to be fully supported by Santa Monica Studio."
SuperBot then released the following:
"SuperBot Entertainment can confirm that the relationship with SCEA has ended on good terms. We are extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to work on with Sony on Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale, and are extremely proud of the work we have done. SuperBot Entertainment will continue working on projects that reflect our passion for games and our commitment to creating award winning titles. We are very excited about beginning the next chapter of our future and invite all of our fans and supporters to follow our journey."
PlayStation All-Stars released last year to pretty mixed reviews on PS3 and Vita. It's first DLC is due this month.

RECIPES FOR CHANGE Chris Warren wrote accurately about the trouble corporate power poses for the environmental movement ("Meet the Corporation," September/October 2005). Profits will always trump the environment, human rights, and public safety. He cites efforts to change state laws to ensure corporations won't pollute.
I would like to propose a different strategy, which is alluded to in "Shareholders at the Wheel" (page 29) but goes further. CEOs are only as powerful as their companies' shareholders allow them to be. Shareholder action is far too underused as a tool of change. If we concentrated our power, laser-like, on a few corporate bad boys, we could achieve some real change. Other companies might wake up, fearing they were next on the hit list. The beauty of this tactic is that we would be beating the corporations with already-existing legal tools and representing democracy in its purest form by voting with our money. Stephen Elgert Bow, New Hampshire
Corporations are not lifeless things; they are made up of people. The employees are people, the directors are people, and the shareholders are people. The insinuation that those who work for a corporation check their morals and environmental beliefs at the office door is not just insulting—it's counterproductive. If you want to change the behavior of a corporation, talk to the people who work there. Peter Thorin Bangkok, Thailand
The Supreme Court's decision in 1886 giving corporations the same rights and protections people have under the Constitution needs to be better known. To this end, I encourage Robert Hinkley to register his new company, Licensed to Kill Inc., to vote. If the state of Virginia refuses, I suggest he press the case. He could also apply for a marriage license for the company, but this might raise sticky issues such as whether same-sex corporations can marry. Michael Raymer Eugene, Oregon
Sierra's objectives regarding industry seem to emphasize regulations. In Winning the Oil Endgame, Amory Lovins proposed giving $1 billion to the first American car company to sell 200,000 cars that get 60 mpg. The Sierra Club exercises the courage to be confrontational when necessary, but it might have more success by offering the carrot more often than the stick. Todd Nelson Colorado Springs, Colorado
CORRECTIONS, AMENDMENTS In our September/October 2005 article on Will Siri, "Career Climber," we mistakenly described John Lawrence as the "inventor of the 'atom smasher.'" Actually, it was his brother, Ernest, who invented the cyclotron. John was a pioneer in nuclear medicine.
With sadness, we note the September passing of 70-year-old MaVynee Betsch, featured in our September/October 2005 "Profile," "Madame Butterfly." A former opera singer, Betsch was the spirited and eccentric leader of a successful effort to protect American Beach, a northern Florida town known for its natural and cultural treasures. As Sierra Club leader Winifred Stephenson put it: "She lived full-time for agendas beyond herself. We have lost a true citizen of the universe."

Cramer's 6 Stocks in 60 Seconds: TGT TASR TKR PPG KMX AMZN (Update 1)
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus".
( Updated from 10:18 am ET with closing information.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) --Here's what Jim Cramer had to say on CNBC's "Squawk On The Street" Thursday:
Target (TGT - Get Report) shares are holding up well, which is puzzling if things are as bad as some people are predicting, Cramer said. If Taser's (TASR - Get Report) products are deemed illegal, then the gun makers will pop, he added, which is why he likes retailer Cabella's (CAB).
Target shares were flat but Taser's were stung by a 8.2% drop at the close Thursday.
Cramer was dismissive of activist shareholders trying to split up Timken (TKR - Get Report), saying he's been to its factories and the businesses can't be separated. Its shares closed down 3.3%. Cramer gave outright buys on PPG (PPG - Get Report) and Carmax (KMX - Get Report), the latter of which is benefitting from Hurricane Sandy. Both PPG and Carmax ended the day up 1%. Finally, Cramer was bullish on Amazon.com (AMZN - Get Report), calling this the "online Christmas." He said Amazon should take out the $270 a share level soon. Amazon stock closed up 1.7%.

Vicki Johnson and Jo Stafford with some of their work which is on show in the 2012 Print Odyssey screen printing exhibition they have organised at The Stew Gallery in Norwich. Photo by Simon Finlay
David Freezer
Tuesday, May 29, 2012
Work produced by screen print artists from Norwich and as far afield as Canada is currently on display at Stew Studios.
The annual Print Odyssey exhibition is being held at the studios, in Fishergate, displaying a range of screen printed work from 42 artists, collectives and independent businesses.
Mobile screen printing duo Print To The People, Vicki Johnson and Jo Stafford, have organised the exhibition.
Now in it's second year, the exhibition has doubled in size and attracted more submissions from all over the country and several from the United States, Canada and Ireland.
It features work from both emerging and established artists working with 2D and 3D screen prints, installations, textiles and ceramics.
Miss Johnson said: "We've had a really good number of visitors so far, about 200 on opening night and 50 every day over the weekend, so we have been really pleased so far."
The exhibition is open Wednesday to Sunday between midday and 6pm, including the bank holidays next Monday and Tuesday, through to Saturday, June 9.

Remember that cool tweak that we reported on a while ago? The concept behind the tweak was to enable Chat Heads on iOS system-wide, therefore "de-sandbox"ing it. It was whipped up in 24 hours by developer Adam Bell, and today it's been released. The new tweak, dubbed "MessageBox", allows you to view, send and read Facebook messages via Chat Heads throughout your entire iOS device (besides the lockscreen), just as it would be on Android, or a Facebook Home-compatible device.
Adam has been prominent in the jailbreak scene, developing useful tweaks such as Stride, and many others. However, this is a tweak that many have been looking forward to, and it seems to be the best, and only, rendition of Chat Heads on a device that's not Facebook Home-friendly. I've been using the beta for a little while now since I got in contact with Adam, and today, he's released the beta build to everyone, with hopes that an official release will soon follow.
Here's how to get it:

Everywhere you look around Harvard, signs of construction greet you. It's time to say "out with the old, and in with the new," as Quincy House renovates Old Quincy and moves some of its students to Dewolfe and apartment buildings. FM decided to check out swing housing in Hampden Hall and see how the apartments compare to normal dorms.
Similar to most dorm room, the apartments have "n" housing with a common room, bedrooms, and bathroom. The only difference is the rooms are clean. Very clean. Well at least before students started living in them.
Don't worry about buying a new couch because every apartment comes furnished with a navy blue, polka-dotted loveseat. Rooms also include typical furniture like desks, beds, and wardrobes. All apartments have wood flooring—very shiny wood at that.
Can't wake up for breakfast? No problem. Formerly, Dewolfe was one of the few living options that offered a kitchen. However, now the apartments provided by Quincy give residents the chance to concoct their own late night snacks. Each kitchenette comes equipped with a stove, oven, and refrigerator.
Every house needs a place where students from the floor or entryway can come together to relax. To provide this for students in swing housing, Quincy converted apartment rooms into public common rooms, in which students can gather together, whether it be for study breaks or study groups. Common rooms have everything from flat screens TVs to sofas to ping pong tables.

Raspberry-Cream Sandwich Cookies
- Yield: Makes 3 dozen
Source: Martha Stewart Living, May 2005
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 sticks (10 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups plus 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise, seeds scraped and reserved
- 6 ounces (1 cup) fresh raspberries
- 7 1/2 ounces best-quality white chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
Mix butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add egg, extract, and vanilla seeds; mix until smooth. Reduce speed to low. Gradually mix in flour mixture.
Scoop batter using a flat (not mounded) 1-inch ice cream scoop; space 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
Bake cookies 4 minutes. Remove from oven; gently tap baking sheets on counter to flatten cookies. Return to oven, switching positions of sheets; bake until cookies are just set, 4 to 6 minutes more. Let cool on parchment on wire racks.
Puree raspberries and remaining 2 teaspoons sugar in a food processor. Pour mixture through a fine sieve into a small bowl, pressing to extract juice; discard seeds. Set mixture aside.
Melt white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Remove from heat; whisk in cream in a slow stream. Slowly whisk in reserved raspberry mixture. Refrigerate up to 45 minutes.
Spread 1 heaping teaspoon raspberry cream on the undersides of half the cookies. Sandwich with remaining cookies.

Jujigirl 19 Apr, 2014
This is a question (just made these last night, the verdict is still out as they haven't been tried yet) - can these really sit outside (covered) even with cream in the filling? I ended up putting them in the fridge b/c I was worried. If anyone reads this, please let me know if only the cookie portion can sit out or if the entire assembled sandwich can....
carlasue 19 Oct, 2012
I am an experienced baker and I have to agree with 12 other people who disliked and/or found that this recipe needs adjustments. These were TERRIBLE! The dough was tooo greasy and sweet and the filling was runny and purple, not to mention the lack of fruit flavor. The cookies also tasted so much like baking soda - yuck!
I should have read the comments before baking these... -
katebakes 25 Sep, 2012
Such a fun recipe! The sugar cookie was nice and crisp around the edges yet chewy at the same time. If you follow the timing laid out for you in the recipe, you will achieve a perfectly flat, crinkled little cookie! As for the filling, I was unfortunately in a time crunch and used vanilla buttercream combined with mashed raspberries. Truly fabulous! I will be sure to try the given filling my second time around as I will be making these cookies again soon! They were a true hit!
Kelleah 7 Dec, 2011
Excellent cookie! Made employees at work and they loved this cookie. They were gone in no time.
Revisions to recipe: Added raspberry extract to filling to punch the favor. Also had to bang cookies twice during cook time. -
s4nte 5 Aug, 2011
these were very sweet, greasy cookies. the cream was tasty but the 6 oz of raspberries called for in the recipe is too much and thins-out the cream, making it too loose and un-spreadable (and purple in color - not light pink like in the photo). I'd use 3.5 or 4 oz of raspberries if I were to make these cookies again.
fletch123 13 May, 2011
Would NOT make these cookies again.
drummondjess 3 Sep, 2010
I made these cookies for my friend's baby shower, pink and white cookies went with the girly pink theme. The cookie recipe came out too greasy, they were terrible. But the raspberry white chocolate filling was perfect. Just the right amount of sweetness. Because it was coming down to crunch time for the baby shower I had to use a prepared sugar cookie dough and trash the cookies from this recipe. But with the great filling no one even noticed.
mlg71 21 Aug, 2010
ironically just made these today...and they are the "cookie of the day". i think these are so delicious. the sugar cookie recipe alone is a keeper for me. you have to let the cream set in the frig...i recommend more like an hour to 1 1/2 hours. it appears to be more "purple" when you first make it - but it lightens up and becomes more pink as it sets up. my family just loved these and they were perfect for my niece's 12th birthday party!
jadekitty 21 Aug, 2010
I found them to be salty and very picky, you have to catch them at the right time or they won't flatten.. and you can't over cook them.
marilyn8880 11 Sep, 2009
I added icing sugar (confectioners suger) into the filling mixture to thicken it, worked a treat.

Rasberry cream sandwich cookies:I made these cookies but unfortunetly they were veryvery very untasty I think it's because of the baking soda ..so I suggest that u revise the ingredients and update it again .....my kids hate it very much...thank u

very yummy. i could not find whole vanilla bean, but used the very best extract I could find. very fabulous.
jose51 9 Aug, 2008
I have made these twice and and followed the recipe accurately but both times the cookie tastes of egg - I wonder if it is too much vanilla extract. Had to throw the batter away, but the filling is delicious.
goodbyegirl6188 25 Jul, 2008
These are heavenly!!!!!!!!!!! The flavor of the fresh raspberry cream is out of this world and the color is such a beautiful light pink!!!!!!!!!!!! These are worth the effort and would make a great gift for someone to lift their spirits!!!!
nmeyer 15 Jul, 2008
I have made these cookies a handful of times and they are so incredibly good. I only altered the size of the rounds since they are sandwiched just to make them smaller. The filling is unbelievably good and I have used it with several other recipes.If you follow the recipe the filling should be a pudding like consistency or a little thicker.I would defiantly not go law fat anything with this one or cheap out on the ingredients. You need real everything for them to be great.

Reporting back...this past weekend I tried a variation of this recipe. I replaced the raspberry puree with the lemon juice and rind of two small lemons. I thought the combination of sour and sweet worked out really well. Also, I cut the amount of cream by half, so that the filling would be thicker. I've added this recipe to my family cookbook, now that I'm happy with the results.
FeedYourSoul 14 Feb, 2008
The cookie is good. The filling is not. I found the combination overly sweet and lacking depth. I'm going to give this cookie one more try this weekend, but with a few tweaks. I want to try a lemon creme. I think the tartness will balance the sugar cookie better. Also, I think the filling recipe has too much liquid, so I'm going to cut down the amount of cream and juice. With the raspberry creme filling, I had to refridgerate the sandwiched cookies to get the filling to set up properly.
krusello 3 Feb, 2008
My cookies are coming out f the the oven beautifully but then go flat whne cooling on the wire racks. I think I am going to try baking powder instead of baking soda. I also will make the filling more lie a mouse by whpping the cream then adding the melted chocolate then the raspberry puree. I will probably end up using less of the chocolate and raspberry puree to get the consistancy I want.
DoloresZiegler 31 Jan, 2008
This is not a good recipe. I don't know, maybe I didn't do it properly but I think it is generally just super sugary. Also, my filling was very thin and runny. Not good.

I plan to make them into hearts for Valentine's Day! Barb

These are truly wonderful little cookies. I made them as part of my Christmas giveaways and people were crazy over them.

St. Clair Shores
August 14, 2013Bulldogs prove mettle at regional tourney
By Jason Carmel Davis
C & G Sports Writer
The Michigan Bulldogs 14U softball team, based in St. Clair Shores, finished fifth in the National Softball Association Class B World Series last month.
Games took place July 22-27 in Peoria, Ill., and featured teams from across the Midwest. Sixty-four teams played in the tournament.

Money is no object, we said -- spend as much as you like and don't worry about red tape. Nor should any conceivable enhancement be considered too local or too regional, too sweeping or too small in scope. In fact, the sole criterion we imposed was that all answers be specific. Merely saying improve public transportation would be too vague, we explained; but suggesting that Dade County implement a system of free public bicycles would be a good one. Likewise, expand the wetlands is unacceptably broad, whereas blow up part of the north-south levee and let the Everglades reclaim Kendall hits the bull's-eye. (One other thing: We excluded politicians from our poll, in the belief that their vision is unduly clouded by, well, by politics.)
Most participants took the question quite seriously. Some took the opportunity to shoulder up against large societal building blocks and shift them around a bit. Others envisioned ground-level alterations that were profound in their own way.
We're not idealistic or naive enough to believe that any of this stuff might actually come to pass, especially in Miami. But whatever else might be gleaned from this collection of proposed enhancements -- elicited from lawyers, tycoons, artists, bureaucrats, business owners, clergymen, even a Jeopardy champ -- it stands as vivid proof that Dade County is also home to all manner of imaginative citizens who care deeply about where they live. And all cynicism aside, as 1996 gives way to 1997, that's some cause for hope.
Roberto Martinez
former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida
I'd move the high-rises on Miami Beach away from the ocean. Putting the high-rises on the east side of Collins Avenue really took away from the view. If you go to places like the French Riviera or Rio de Janeiro, the buildings are on the other side of the road, like on Ocean Drive.
Louis Canales
nightlife impresario
The biggest problem we have is the ethnic and racial segmentation of the city. I'd establish forums under the leadership of all the communities, where people could listen to each other and learn from each other. A lot of venting has to be done. Maybe it could happen at FIU or Miami-Dade Community College, neutral ground where everyone feels comfortable. Perhaps start it on a monthly basis, and people could come together, set an agenda, and find solutions to the problems that affect all the communities: unemployment, education, housing. You know the saying, "Before you can run you need to know how to walk; before you can walk you have to know how to crawl"? Well, we have to learn to stand up.
Jesse McCrary
I would provide decent housing for every citizen. I have a firm belief that decent housing shapes personality, shapes people's lives. It would certainly help us shape the minds of children, because when a child has a home and a warm, comfortable bed, it's a different mindset from the child who has nothing. One of the things I'd do is to encourage government to help people obtain home ownership, perhaps through sweat equity. You've got to do some of the building or renovation yourself, like Habitat for Humanity. If the private sector has been able to start it, there's no reason government can't do it further. If people will work for food, they'll work for their own home. It doesn't have to be the Taj Mahal.
Barbara Lange
environmental activist
I would provide more public access to Biscayne Bay. The county and the City of Miami have not made it easy to get to it. Instead of saying let's put an arena and cruise ships in Bicentennial Park, we should be thinking about how to get more people on the water and away from the traffic and the pollution of the streets. Look at Coconut Grove: They want to turn it into the Rambo movie studio, thereby limiting rather than expanding the access of the public. If I had my way, I would mandate three places for public access: Dinner Key, Bicentennial Park, and the adjoining FEC tract. Once you have access to the water, the people can do the rest themselves: fishing, boating. The estuary is where life begins.
Tamara Hendershot

Fallow land in urban areas is depressing; I'd rather see a building falling down. Property owners should be required to do something with lots that lie fallow for a year. They fence them in with these chainlink fences and it's ugly. The owners should be required by law to plant their empty lots in some minimal way or have the option of giving the lot to the community for a communal garden. That could be done with the understanding that when the time comes to sell the property, everything would be destroyed. In New York I was a member of a Lower East Side group that had a lot of communal gardens. People in apartments could have a little plot where they could grow something!

Question from my Lyme friend: Can you ask this question for me. It's about an anti-biotic I'm trying to take (not for lyme, I'm in remission, it's for a post infection). It's called Biaxin it's tearing up my stomach & I have noo idea what to do. I had to stop it. 500mg 2x a day. – LSH
Biaxin is a tough drug – MUST TAKE WITH FOOD. if that doesn't help, try a glass of milk. ive been on it for a year and a half -KS
it is being taken for mycoplasma pneumonia…. – LSH
that's horrible…but it really must be taken with food. that's the only way. -KS
I take all antibiotics with food, regardless of what the instructions say. Yes, taking with food might reduce absorption a bit, but I have enough GI problems with antibiotics as it is. When my tummy is really in pain from antibiotics, I go off them. -JEonto a leaky gut protocol such as taking L-Glutamine on empty stomach in the morning, or use soothing supplements like mastic gum, drink a little aloe vera, etc. I have to use antacids at times. Also, Biaxin is in the same family as Zithromax. They can all cause tinnitus or other hearing problems. Zithromax gave me tinnitus which hasn't gone away a year later. I've been on Biaxin a long time and can no longer be on the high doses the LLMDs want because it will then cause tinnitus in the other ear. Biaxin is known for having a lousy taste so don't worry about that, it's normal.
I'm highly allergic to this antibiotic! Having a congenital defect in my intestines doesn't help. – LSM
Biaxin is also a sulfa drug so if you have ANY issue with sulfur, DO NOT TAKE!! -NK
yuck bad on the tummy -GP
probiotics help me a lot. I take B for lyme…fun fun… TL
i have to take Protonix for my gut wrenching pains from the antibiotics and it works quite well -KL
Biaxin is NOT a sulfa abx, it's a macrolide, like Zithromax. Bactrim (AKA Septra or Protrin) is a sulfa. -JR
Biaxin is a macrolide -SD
Can you ask your doctor for a similar abx that can be injected? -AM
Nausea can be a sign of allergy…. -CN
I'd like to know people's thoughts about Lyme going into remission. I tend to think it's not curable, just manageable, which would include "knocking it down" enough for my immune system to keep up. Thoughts? -SD
I can't take Biaxin either, I always ask for something else. -DB
I like Biaxin when combined with others for Babs. -MT
You can take Zithro to substitute for Biaxin but I wasn't found of either one so I take Septra and Plaquenil -CM
I thought it was the Excedrin messing with my stomach. I have been taking Biaxin and amox for a couple of years now. Sorry, but I really don' t have any answers as to what to do to help stomach. I do take it with food along with supplements. -KM
Take mine with food. -NM
Biaxin has been an addictive abx for me…seriously, very hard to get off, like a narcotic. Sounds crazy, but my LLMD said he has seen it before w/Biaxin they don't know why. I have been on it most of the last 4 years. I had h. pylori twice. -DF which biaxin/amoxi/PPI cure so that worked out. But some people report GI problems on it and have to stop. I have cut WAY down now, slowly over time and find my head is clearer too. Great LD drug and likely prevents cystic form..but we are all different. Did you up your probiotics BIG TIME? If you had to stop, you aren't alone.
By the way Biaxin is NOT a sulfa drug (as mentioned above) it is a macrolide the sister of Zith and Zith I absolutely cannot tolerate. -DF
It's one of the drugs I'm taking. Biaxin, Omnicef, Rifampin, Flagyl & Plaquenil. All pulsed except plaquenil. I've had so many tho, IV & oral that I think it would take paint-thinner to do more than cause a herx… What has she taken for her stomach? Has she always taken it with food? Solid food? Rx Protonix did the best for me – has done the best for me – protecting my stomach from the meds. -KEH

Customer Testimonies Send Your Testimony
Neuro-Betic is an exclusive formula with 11 targeted nutrients in the most effective form to promote nerve health and normal nerve function.
Ingredient Profile Testimonies Printable Flyer
Researchers said that changes in nerve conduction can be measured long before the signs of nerve damage develop. Dr. Peter Dyck, a neurologist and lead researcher in the study, said Changes develop much earlier than previously demonstrated. NEURO-BETIC IS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE AND ADVANCED PRODUCT OF ITS TYPE ON THE MARKET- AT A REASONABLE PRICE
From head to toe, every part of the human body contains nerves. Nerves send signals throughout the body telling us when and how to react to triggers such as temperature, sound, and pain. They also stimulate muscle cells that allow us to move, keep our hearts beating and digest our food. Our nerves also play an important role in urinary continence and sexual functioning. Nutrition as it applies to the nerves is a sadly neglected affair. Any schoolchild knows he needs plenty of protein for muscle, vitamin C for healthy gums, and calcium for strong bones. But ask him what foods are good for his nerves and chances are he doesn't know. There are vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that can make a difference in your nerve health. By maintaining healthy nerves you support brain function and keep your nervous system firing signals appropriately.
Scientific evidence continues to accumulate confirming the positive benefits of the 11 natural ingredients in Neuro-Betic for optimal nerve health and comfort. Ingredient Profile. The strength, potency and broad range of nutrients in Neuro-Betic is difficult to match even when purchasing a combination of 4 or 5 different products. With Neuro-Betic you receive the best natural product nutritional science has to offer. Neuro-Betic is a natural nutritional supplement. This exclusive formula promotes and encourages the body's ability to maintain a healthy nervous system with normal functioning. The most effective strategy for wellness is a comprehensive approach that includes blood sugar regulation. Maintain healthy blood sugar levels with the help of Glucobetic.
Neuro-Betic Ingredient Listing
Each serving contains:
Vitamin B1 (Benfotiamine) 30 mg - Benfotiamine is the fat soluble version of Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) which is more available therapeutically to the body than its water soluble counterparts. The implication for this is that Benfotiamine is more beneficial in supporting nerve health than the water soluble forms of B1. A number of studies, in fact, have borne this out.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate) 40 mg - Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate is considered the most bioavailable form of this vitamin. This is due to the fact that P-5-P is does not require prior activation by the liver to become functional, but is ready to perform its duties immediately upon ingestion.
Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) 120 mcg - The most neurologically active form of Vitamin B12 is designated Methylcobalamin or methyl B12. Investigators have linked many central and peripheral neurological disorders to a deficiency in methyl B12. Our bodies actually produce a small amount of this substance in the liver. However, much larger amounts of Methylcobalamin is said to be required to support the ability to neutralize a harmful substance in the body called homocysteine.
Biotin 600 mcg - An insufficiency of biotin has a dramatic effect on the nervous system. Maintaining mitochondrial health is essential for a healthy brain and nerve pathways, which require more energy than any other organ of the body. In addition, biotin may serve another function in the nervous system, by participating in reactions involved in the removal of ammonia, which is toxic to tissue, including nerve tissue.
Pantothenic Acid 50 mg - Known as the anti-stress vitamin, Pantothenic Acid plays a role in the production of adrenal hormones and the formation of antibodies, aids in vitamin utilization, and helps to convert fats, carbohydrates, and proteins into energy. It is also involved in nerve transmission and in the production of neurotransmitters.
Alpha Lipoic Acid 600 mg - This nutrient is a key part of the metabolic machinery that turns glucose (blood sugar) into energy for the bodys needs. Alpha Lipoic offers dual antioxidant protection because it is both fat and water soluble. Water solubility means that it works inside the nerve cell. Its fat solubility permits it to work outside the cell, at the membrane level. This double action on both sides of the nerve cell walls is said to result in a stronger defense against damaging free radicals.
Acetyl L-Carnitine 1,000 mg - Acetyl L-Carnitine has been shown by researchers to help raise myoinositol content, while also protecting nerve membranes from free radical damage. Supplementation with Carnitine has been shown to enhance neurotrophic support of sensory neurons and promote energy metabolism, thus supporting normal nerve regeneration.
Carnosine 100 mg - The amino acid L-Carnosine is widely accepted as an antiaging antioxidant that stabilizes and protects cell membranes. It is well known that premature aging results from a devastating chemical reaction called glycosylation.
Phosphatidylcholine 60 mg - Eggs are one of our only food sources (along with soybeans) of Phosphatidylcholine, known otherwise as lecithin. Phosphatidylcholine is an essential protector of every cell, especially those of our nervous system, and it also serves as the main source of choline, which in turn is essential to the formation of acetylcholine, one of our most important neurotransmitters. This nutrient contributes to the production of myelin, the protective casing that surrounds the nerves and brain cells.
Inositol 60 mg - Nowhere in the body is fast, reliable, neuro-communication more important than in the brain and central nervous system. These tissues contain relatively high amounts of inositol. In addition, it supports optimal nerve conduction velocities and transmission of nerve signals.
Ginkgo Biloba Extract 50 mg - Ginkgo supports the brain's ability to utilize oxygen and glucose by improving peripheral blood flow. Ginkgo optimizes nerve transmission and activates ATP (Adenosine triphosphate), an organic compound that aids metabolic reactions. We use a premium quality Ginkgo Biloba Extract (GBE) that is standardized to contain 24% Glycosides. Printable Flyer

Rue Morgue Finery
Ghoulish Gary Tightens His Belt And, Um…Buckles Down
This month's featured Rue Morgue Finery is the new cast pewter belt buckle, designed by Ghoulish Gary Pullin. "The company we chose to create the buckles are capable of producing a pewter piece with a lot of detail so I didn't hold back on the line work," says Gary. "Simply put, skulls always look cool. Add bat wings and coffins for teeth (I dubbed this design 'Coffin Teeth') and now you've really got something horror fans will dig. I'm hoping we throw this on a shirt or something sometime soon."
Check out Gary's original drawing from which the buckles were cast. All the white areas on the artwork became raised metal and all of the black areas were recessed. This particular manufacturing process is referred to as "blackened and relieved" by AT Designs, the company who helped us turn Gary's design into these 2″ x 3″ creepy clasps.
Check out the entire line of Rue Morgue Finery at The Blue Banana (250 Augusta Avenue – Toronto), Cruella (63, avenue Du Mont-Royal Est – Montreal) or at our online Shoppe of Horror here.

Using Java Servlets with Database Connectivity
The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) has and continues to be the most commonly used method for creating dynamic and responsive web pages. The main problem with CGI (that stems from the Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol) is that each new client request results in a new instance of the CGI executable being forked by the HTTP daemon. This can lead to considerable resource consumption on web hosting machinery. Many solutions exist to address this problem, most focusing on keeping the executable persistent between client requests. This has the added benefit of holding open costly resources like database and socket connections.
Java is one of the newest kids on the block, but as a C and C++ coder I really like some of the features of this language. Its object model is nice, it is (relatively) portable, and the class libraries available from both Sun and third parties are extensive. Servlets, a rather fanciful name, is the Java answer to the CGI problem. Servlets are Java classes, loaded and kept resident by the HTTP daemon. When the servlet is loaded, it is initialized by a method call; at that point, database connections can be established and held between client requests. In addition to this, there are a number of useful classes which facilitate the more complex server/browser interactions such as cookies. Unfortunately, the Servlet classes from Sun are still in a fluid state and, therefore, code written now may be broken by future releases. This is a fact of programming life and since this is a small application, not much harm is likely.
Since my site has been running the ubiquitous Apache web server, it was an easy choice to stick with this software. The Servlet part was the more tricky decision. I decided to play it safe and get the Apache-Java solution (http://java.apache.org/). This is not a finished product, but it certainly looked acceptable, and I wanted to have access to the source if anything broke. Alternatives include Live Software's JRun and IBM's Servlet Express. JRun is able to work with a number of web servers including Apache and Netscape, and the code is available under a fairly lenient license. Servlet Express is more of an unknown quantity—that is, I did not even evaluate it since it is only available for Apache 1.2.
The source code for JServ is available for download from the Java-Apache site, and the version I used was 0.9.11. Unpack the code using tar into a suitable directory (/usr/local/lib/JServ on my machine) and read the documentation carefully. A Makefile does most of the magic. The Makefile does need to be edited to modify the installation directory—alas, no autoconf. A recent JDK is required—I used Steve Byrnes 1.1.6-5 which I have found to be both fast and stable. I also have the tya 1.1-3i JIT (Just In Time Compiler) which quite transparently super-charges the execution of Java code, but it is not necessary. Make the JServ code to compile the Java source files to a local directory. Included in the JServ package is the requisite Servlet code from Sun. Both the Sun Servlet code (in the form of a jar file) and the JServ code need to be added to your CLASSPATH variable for both development and Apache.
Now it's Apache's turn. Get a nice, recent copy—I have 1.3.1, which I find to be a splendid creation—and unpack the source code into another directory. The magic of building an external Apache module is described in the INSTALL file in the root of the /apache directory. In order to compile the Apache daemon, it is first necessary to "configure" the Apache build environment. This is done through the wonderfully arcane autoconf-produced script configure. You merely need to add the following to the ./configure line:
This will produce a Makefile that will copy the mod_jserv.c file to the ./src/modules/extra directory and compile it into Apache. Note that merely copying the mod_jserv.c file into the extra directory will not accomplish anything. In order to make this new module shared (assuming DSO in apache is configured), add the following line to the configure command line:
--enable-shared=jservThis option will produce a .so shared object which is dynamically linked to Apache when necessary.
Obviously some care is required. I cribbed most of the details from the apache.spec file from the apache SRPM; I advise you to get this file and install it. Make the changes in the spec file and rebuild the RPM (rpm -ba apache.spec), then install the new RPM. This applies only to RPM-based systems (Red Hat, SuSE, Caldera, etc).
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

I have enjoyed my home for many years customizing the house and back yard to my liking. Now I'd like to try living in some other areas of the city and let others enjoy my home.
Our guest entered such a nice review in our book (we are fortunate to have so many good comments in our book actually!) that I wanted to share this one.....
This was such an amazing place to come together a a family. The location was great...on the days that we wanted to venture out we never had far to go. On the days we wanted to get some R&R we were more than happy to hang out here.
What really surprised me was that on the VRBO website this place seemed "too good to be true"...and then when you get here it surpasses that already high expectation you had in mind... and then you realize that the website & photos really don't prepare you for how truly amazing this place is!
My favorite part of the property was the privacy of the yard...totally not what I was expecting for a place within city limits. There were a couple of times I didn't even do my hair/make-up...what a treat!
"It is very central to all areas of San Diego. I have always loved living in Clairemont."
Clairemont is centrally located to almost anything you might want to do in San Diego. It's not a beach community, but also escapes the overbearing heat of the inland communities during the summertime. It's about a 10-15 minute drive to just about anywhere in San Diego including beaches, downtown, SeaWorld, etc. The house itself is in a family type neighborhood, not a young party beach area (although it's only a short drive to such a place. :)
Balboa drive has almost everything you need from major grocery stores, restaurants, Target, Home Depot. 24 Hour Fitness, bars, etc.
The house is close to both the 163 and 805 freeways and major streets which makes it easy to get around.

Hundreds attend funeral for Olivia Hudson: 3-year-old lost battle with cancer earlier this week
Olivia first battled cancer in brain, then spine
SAN DIEGO - Hundreds of people attended a funeral Saturday for a local girl who lost her battle with cancer earlier this week.
Between 400 and 500 people turned out to say goodbye to 3-year-old Olivia Hudson at The Rock Church in Point Loma.
Photos and video of her life were shown at the memorial. From her days as a chubby baby to playing the piano with her grandfather, Olivia was spunky and full of life.
"Olivia liked to take baths, read books and eat and eat and eat," said pastor Ron Nadzam.
She battled cancer twice: first, with a brain tumor and chemotherapy to beat it.
"All of the medications and the surgeries slowed down her activities, but it did not change her spirit," said Nadzam.
Then, Olivia was faced with a new form of cancer. The second time, it seeped into her spine. She lost the ability to move her left arm.
"I will never forget how she would encourage her left arm… who she loving called 'lefty'… to do things when it wouldn't quite do what she wanted it to do," said nurse Ashley Rocha.
On Tuesday, Olivia's family gathered around her for her final moments.
Her father addressed his two other daughters during Saturday's service.
"I had to spend a lot of time with one of my children... They've been so strong, and they know I love them," he said. "Sweetheart, I just want you to know that I thank you for being a strong little girl."
The Hudsons are also looking to help other children with the Olivia Hudson Foundation, which was established when she was alive.
"It won't stop and it'll get bigger and we'll bring attention to children with brain cancer," said Ken Hudson, Olivia's grandfather.
Anyone wanting to make a donation can do so by visiting any Wells Fargo and mentioning the Olivia Hudson Foundation.

Health officials around the world have been gearing up in recent years for pandemic flu – a global outbreak of flu caused by a new type of virus that people have not been exposed to before or have not been exposed to in a long time. The virus would spread quickly around the world because people are not immune to it. Pandemics pop up periodically – most recently in 1918, 1957 and 1968 – and they can be very dangerous, especially for people with asthma, COPD and other respiratory conditions.
In June, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that Novel H1N1 influenza [link to our H1N1 page] (originally called "swine flu") had become pandemic. So far, this virus has not been as serious a threat to health as was originally feared, but it is spreading quickly. Some health experts fear it will mutate into a more serious disease.
The World Health Organization says a pandemic flu can encircle the globe within three months. How long it takes to infect a community – and how long it stays – is impossible to estimate. If it infects masses of people at once, pandemic flu can be very disruptive to businesses, schools, government and local health services.
People with chronic health conditions like asthma and COPD are at increased risk of developing complications from any flu virus, but there are things you can do to prepare yourself and your family.
Use anchor links here:
PROTECT by practicing good health habits and updating your asthma action plan.
PREPARE your family's supplies of medication and food
PREEMPT infection with good hygiene and simple prevention techniques
Protect against pandemic flu by practicing good health habits. Update your written, customized asthma treatment plan with your healthcare provider. Exercise, get enough sleep, eat a well-balanced diet, and minimize exposures to allergens, irritants and – most important – viruses!
- Visit your pediatrician or family physician for a checkup.
- Talk about ways to protect yourself from pandemic and seasonal flu
- Ask about actions to take at the first sign of flu symptoms
- Ask to be notified as soon as flu vaccines arrive
- Visit your asthma specialist
- Update your written, customized asthma action plan
- Ask for renewals on all your prescriptions
- Discuss and resolve concerns you may have about medications, including HFA bronchodilators
- Ask about medications to keep in stock at home, such as oral or inhaled bronchodilators and corticosteroids, auto-injectable epinephrine, antihistamines or decongestants
- Review your inhaler technique and discuss proper use of medications to avoid side effects
- Mask the problem
- Purchase N95 face masks (called respirators, available at most building supply stores) to wear to help keep flu-laden droplets out of your airways or to prevent sharing your germs with others. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has specific recommends these in certain circumstances for people at high risk of flu complications. Click here for information
- Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze
- A tissue is ideal, but if you don't have one when you're out in public, cough or sneeze into your sleeve
- Consider carrying plastic baggies to hold used tissues until you can dispose of them
When your family is living with allergies, asthma or COPD, being prepared is the key to staying healthy. Keep records of your family's medical history on hand, inspect medications and medical devices, and be ready for an extended stay at home if flu invades your community.
- Make note of your family's medical needs.
- In cases of pandemic flu outbreak, communities could set up mass vaccination clinics or alternative medical care centers, so have medical history readily available for all family members
- Visit www.pandemicflu.gov/plan/individual/checklist.html to print a Family Emergency Health Information Sheet and an Emergency Contacts Form
- When pandemic flu breaks out, asthma medications could be in short supply. Refill all your prescriptions now and talk with your insurance provider if necessary to stock up on extras.
- Inspect nebulizers and nebulizer medications
- Make sure your nebulizer is in good working condition and that you have sufficient supplies of disposable and reusable parts
- Use only FDA-approved medications in your nebulizer. If you're not sure what to look for, click here for information.
- Stock your pantry to avoid flu-laden lines at the grocery store.
- From granola to garbage bags, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services has a list of suggested pantry supplies at www.pandemicflu.gov/plan/individual/checklist.html. This is even more important if someone in your family has food allergies.
- Check expiration dates on what's already in your pantry and follow the practice of first-in, first-out to keep your supply fresh.
Influenza is primarily spread by airborne droplets that reach the eyes, nose or mouth. It can also be spread by touching contaminated surfaces and then touching your face.
- Wash your hands frequently with soap and hot water, particularly after you cough or sneeze or before you eat
- Suds-up for at least 20 seconds to be sure the soap does its job
- If you have eczema, follow with a hand cream to seal your skin and keep out germs.
- When soap and water isn't available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer wipe or gel. Wipe the gel around your hands until it's dry to get full effect.
- Keep your nose clear. Your nose is the first line of defense against inhaled viruses and allergens, so help nasal passages work their best.
- Do daily nasal washes using premixed saline solutions or your own kosher salt/baking soda/distilled water mixture (see "It's Not All in Your Head" for a recipe; or use saline nasal sprays
- Wash or spray the telephone with a disinfectant daily and keep keyboards (a major source of germs at schools and offices) and other electronic equipment clean.

I thought I would start a thread on what reloading presses people started with , are using now and what they would like to get and why. I started reloading using a Lee aneversery Kit Because it was Cheep to get into reloading, Then I got a Lyman All American Which I realy like Because u can speed up yor reloading. It has 4 positions. I have ordered but not gotten yet a Hornady AP progressive. I have read a lot about various Progerssives and settled on this one 1 for cost I have read endless reviews and 85% have givin it 5 stars and realy no prtoblems with it. There are a few negative reviews but these are so few that it makes me belive it might be " User Error". So there are my reloading presses. F.K.
Thats why they call it hunting and not grocery shopping

I started with and still use a Lee 3 hole turret with auto index....picked it up with .357 carbide dies for $25
Dillon presses are good had 2 so far havnt been let down yet.
Started and lived with a Rcbs rockchucker for ten years. Picked up a lee classic turret two years ago.....never once used it. Dropped the loot a month ago on a Dillon 650, casefeeder, strongmount, roller handle, and bullet tray. Instead of 100-125 /hr single stage. It's 150 in ten minutes or so. DILLON.
I could make a list of a bunch of guns i have, or "have", or wish I had. Why would one feel compelled to provide that infornation freely? Do you feel the need to show off? Is it some immature game of oneupsmanship? Why do you feel it necessary to list your guns?
i started in the late 80s with a rcbs rock chucker loading for 458 winchester magnum. i still use it today loading 458 30-06. ten years ago i bought a dillon xl650. i love both machines
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things... "I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
I started with a Lee hand press. Then my wife gave me a Rock Chucker and a bunch of other goodies for Christmas. That was about 3 years ago. This June she gave me a Lee 5000 Progressive. I only use it for .45 ACP. It is a real high maintenance machine. I have to watch it carefuly to make sure it is doing everything it should be. But I am actually pretty happy with it. The whole thing with the dies and powder measure and everything was something like $150.00. But I still use the rock chucker for everything but 45ACP.
Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
i started with a lyman 6-hole a friend gave me when his job moved him out of state. Ive since picked up a lyman single and 2 Lees. one lee is a 4 hole i use for revolver and the other a 3 hole progressive i use for 45acp and 223. the lyman 6-hole i rarely use anymore.
I started out all wrong. I bought a Dillon 550. I had never reloaded anything in my life. Boy was it ever tough. I was nervous as a Cat on a hot tin roof. I didn't know what I was doing and trying to watch 6 or 7 different functions at one time. After a bout 2 months I begain to settle down and really got into it. Later I could see the need for a single stage press and bought a Lee. I have advised several people that wanted to make the same mistake I made. Get a single stage first. Learn to reload and then move up if you feel the need.
Started with an RCBS single stage C press. Now have the RCBS, A Dillon 550B, and a Lyman 3 stage turret.
Started with a single stage Rockchucker in '84 and am still using it. I shoot mostly bolt rifles so I'm not sure I need a turret or progressive. I'm sure they would speed things up but I kind of enjoy the way I do it now. I do from time to time look at progressive presses, maybe some day.
