There is no better way to wind down 2011 before embarking on a new year than to enjoy an evening with Kentucky artists at The Brown Theater.
Kentucky bands among top 50 best albums of 2011
Have yourself a merry little MMJ Christmas with this latest release.
Local news for Dec. 1, 2011
If you're an MMJ fan, financially able to survive the cost of a trip to NYC and on the band's mailing list, you should buy your tickets NOW! They sold out MSG the last time they played there - on New Year's Eve in 2008.
Partially recorded in Louisville, this video has a animated euphoric nature to it. In other words, it's a typical video from MMJ.
My Morning Jacket and Black Stone Cherry both debut their new releases on the Billboard 200 album chart. Just how high did they fair?
This year, with the lack of previous local major music festivals such as Hullabaloo and Forecastle - Bonnaroo celebrates it's 10th anniversary and there's no shortage of musicians, artists, and local Louisvilleians who plan to attend just across our southern border. If you don't go, you'll never know. And if you've been, you'll go again. I am.
The Louisville quintet is set to debut their recording of Vh1's Storytellers music series tonight.
My Morning Jacket deliver another legendary performance to launch Circuital at Louisville's Palace Theater, and stream show live on YouTube.
Photos from last night's three-hour concert in the band's hometown.
My Morning Jacket's album release show is tonight at The Palace theater. It's a sold out show but you can still catch the show live on YouTube in a special "Unstaged" production.

Chaos At Cairo Airport As Evacuations Begin
Many countries and businesses are evacuating their people from Egypt this weekend as ongoing protests against President Hosni Mubarak were overshadowed by the growing chaos and roaming bands of looters and vandals.
Traffic was backed up a mile outside of Cairo's main airport. Taxis and vans with suitcases piled on the roofs jockeyed for a better place in line. The terminals were equally chaotic.
Hundreds of passengers couldn't get inside because of the crowds. They rolled their suitcases into a long queue that extended into the parking lot.
Dutch citizen Else Leegte said her husband's company called them last night, telling them to pack light and get to the airport. She said all she took with her were important papers and her laptop.
Leegte says she doesn't even know where the jet the company chartered is taking them, other than somewhere in Europe.
"It's unreal, it's unreal," she said. "This is not the way I see Egypt. It's a shame, actually."
New Zealander Angela Hey said her husband, Owen, works for Shell Oil, which also ordered the families of employees to leave on Saturday. She and their 13-year-old son, Nathan, and 11-year-old daughter, Rebecca, were being flown to Amsterdam, where Hey said they will try and figure out what to do next.
She says they didn't want to go.
"We've got some good friends that are still here," she said. "My driver, my maid, I mean they have to stay behind. I'd like to think well come back very soon."
The many Egyptians standing in line appeared less optimistic. Dozens pushed trolleys packed with multiple suitcases bursting at the seams because they planned to stay away for a long time.
Mariam Asaad is one who will be gone for at least a year. The 20-year-old pharmacy student hails from the Cairo neighborhood of Heliopolis, where Mubarak has his presidential palace. But she says she, her brother and their father were flying to Australia because they feel unsafe with thieves and thugs breaking into their neighbors' homes.
"You know there's no policemen, there's nothing in Egypt at the moment," she said. "It's just horrible."
Asaad said it was a hard decision as they were forced to leave her mother and other relatives behind because they couldn't get a visa.
"We are still worried about the other people, we are still worried about our country," she said. "We don't know what to do."

So much emotion in this little book. The story will be indelibly written in my mind.

Helen lives in Melbourne, Australia and her friend Nicola from Sydney is going to be staying with Helen for a few weeks while she undergoes a holistic treatment for cancer that no longer responds to normal medical interventions. Helen is unprepared for how sick Nicola is, but also the fact that Nicola is in complete denial about her health. Helen is very suspicious of the treatment Nicola is receiving. As she spends several times a night changing Nicola's sheets and caring for her, Helen wants to call in palliative care. But Nicola won't hear of it. Helen finds that the more Nicola acts as if nothing is wrong, the angrier Helen becomes. She enlists the help of Nicola's family but no one is able to get through to her and Helen finds she can't wait for Nicola to just leave and become someone else's problem.

My review: I wasn't expecting to like this book. I honestly don't recall requesting it from LibraryThing's Early Reviewer's. Yet somehow I not only enjoyed this, it was one of the books that helped me out of my reading slump.
Garner writes directly and the story is unsentimental and compelling. And it only 175 pages, I read it in one sitting. Despite it's shortness, the story was fulfilling: funny, smart, touching, and brave.
"Peggy glanced at me. Horrified sympathy passed along her eye beams. It weakened me. A huge wave of fatigue rinsed me from head to foot. I was afraid I would slide off the bench and measure my length among the cut roses. At the same time a chain of metallic thoughts went clanking through my mind, like the first dropping of an anchor: death will not be denied. To try is grandiose. It drives madness into the soul. It leaches out virtue. It injects poison into friendship, and makes a mockery of love."
This was a powerful book, very stark and really made me think. How far would we go to care for one we loved? Would I be able to tolerate someone refusing to accept the possibility of death and killing themselves with treatments that have no credibility? I think I would have speak my mind and not hold it all in.
here Iris, Nicola's niece tries to explain this to Helen.
"Want to hear my theory? said Iris. There's a lot of horribleness that Nicola refuses to countenance. But it won't just go away. It can't because it exists. So somebody else has to sort of live it. It's in the air around here. Like static. I felt it when she walked into the house tonight...It's like getting a madness injection."
This was a great book, strong but not depressing. I highly recommend it.
my rating 4.5/5

Loved this book
I saw this book at my local library and was attracted by its title, cover, format, author photograph (is anyone else influenced by this?) and opening paragraph. I read this book straight through and loved it. It has great character development and a subject that could be depressing, but is not. We are lucky author Helen Garner decided to write another book after a 16 year hiatus. I hope to find more books by her.

This is a fascinating look at friendship
Dying from bowel cancer, Nicola decides on an alternate treatment method of vitamin C infusions at the Theodore Institute. Her long time friend Helen invites Nicola to live with her as she has a spare room while she undergoes the radical therapy. The terminal ill woman appreciates the kindness and leaves Sydney for Melbourne.

However, as Helen observes Nicola¿s efforts to stay alive, she begins to believe the Theodore Institute is filled with con artists providing magical elixirs that do not work. She fears her friend will die soon anyway and is wasting time better spent with loved ones. On the other hand Nicola believes a miracle is forthcoming leading Helen to wonder if she is the right person to help Nicola die with dignity.

This is a fascinating look at friendship as the lead couple see the cancer situation radically different. Helen believes Nicola is foolish wasting her precious last moments and money hoping for a Hail Mary miracle instead of spending what time she has left with her loved ones. Nicola believes Helen is a grump who cannot comprehend life and death as dying has not yet confronted her. Although Helen's eternal squabbling and lecturing become irritating as she either needs to support her friend¿s dying wishes, which centers on miracle treatments that probably will fail or toss her out, readers will relish this poignant character study as the reactions to how to behave when pending death seems shortly.

Most first person shooter games are now integrating several common things into the games. The common features are game play mechanics, which allows for better game play. The features that are most typically copied are allowing sprinting, as well as the shooting mechanics. These two features are copied because game developers will copy what is popular. This is not to say that these features are bad; in fact I would say that games having similar mechanics is a good thing if players want to do well.
While Call of Duty has been giving players the ability to sprint for a long time, Halo is just now integrating it into its games. Halo: Reach allowed players to sprint, but that was an item that had to be picked up in order to sprint. In Halo 4 the player can sprint at any point with out that extra item, giving all players more mobility. Providing players more mobility gives the game a faster feel to it, which can make the game more exciting.
Shooting mechanics are the most important thing to a FPS. The shooting mechanics that are most often copied from game to game are recoil, dispersion, and the zoom functions. These features are universal when it comes to guns; meaning that every gun is different and will react differently. But in the early stages of the gaming industry, all guns reacted the same, meaning they shot straight in a single line. In the recent generations of FPS games, there is such a wide variety of weaponry that the player can use that to build in the aspects of recoil and dispersion that have become very important. The final thing that most games have started copying is zoom mechanics. With zoom mechanics, recoil is reduced and the dispersion rate is also reduced. Again, Call of Duty has been good about using this mechanic for its games, as they are more realistic then say, Halo.
But features are always going to be copied in the gaming industry. This is going to keep happening as developers pursue popular trends. Since Call of Duty and Halo are the top games, they will be the games that are copied first. However this is not to say that copying is a bad thing. Copying weeds out all of the bad features because there is no point in copying a feature that is unpopular. Although there needs to be some innovation from some people, every game will be exactly the same without it.
Copying game features is nothing new to the game industry. Sprinting and shooting mechanics are the biggest ones that come to mind right away. They are simple things that make the games much more fun when done right. The industry will keep copying each other while still having some innovation, and that copying will filter out the bad features. Copying will persist, which is not a bad thing as long as some games are different.

Twitch Live game broadcasts land for Xbox One in March
One of the things that bummed out some Xbox One gamers at launch was the fact that the Twitch live broadcasting service for games wasn't available. All the Xbox One gamer could do was record and upload videos. Gamers on the PS4 console were able to stream their live games.
The good news is that Twitch live game streaming will be coming to the Xbox One game console next month. The feature will come along with an update to the console in March. The update will bring with it in addition to live streaming of games the ability to start game broadcasts using your voice, the ability to archive game clips, and the ability to watch Twitch streams broadcast from any device.
That means you can watch PS4 game streams on your Xbox One. Right now, the Xbox One user can only spectate on streams or record game clips using the Upload app. Players will also be able to broadcast from their living room using the Kinect camera. The update should land on March 11 along with Titanfall.

Battlefield 4's new 'Platoons' social feature is coming soon
EA DICE has just revealed it is quietly inviting people into a new feature for the still-buggy Battlefield 4, something that will make the game more social. Platoons will allow gamers to track stats together in groups, and much more.
Platoons was featured in Battlefield 3, but the new feature will go live on Battlelog for BF4 gamers "very soon". DICE is offering select gamers early access to the feature in order "to test certain parts of the system", and to collect the usual feedback on it before it rolls out to digital soldiers across the planet.
Titanfall for XBox 360 and XBox One's Achievement list leaked
Now that Respan Entertainment's Titanfall had a successful BETA testing on XBox One and on PC, its just a matter of time that the game will soon be released. Even in many retail stores and via online, pre-orders for Titanfall has started. That wouldn't really stop information to leak just yet!!
The response from Titanfall's BETA testing was great as million of gamers participated in it. The game is expected for release by next month. One of the aspects that would be present on Microsoft's gaming consoles are the achievement list. A member from neoGAF posted a total of 35 achievements of the game for XBox 360 and XBox One.

Keifer Sutherland is involved with the new Mortal Kombat game
24 star and also the voice behind Snake in Metal Gear Solid 5 has told IGN that he is involved with an upcoming Mortal Kombat game. Sutherland said: "I did Mortal Kombat, and that's such a huge game, but it's so not like [MGS5]".
Jack Bauer's involvement with a new Mortal Kombat game is interesting, but the TV and movie star has not confirmed exactly what character he is playing in the game. What should we expect? Which character do you think he'd voice best?
Almost 36 percent of Americans play digitally downloaded video games
More than one-third of U.S. gamers above the age of 13 are considered 'digital gamers' playing a downloaded game on PC, video game console, or a mobile device, according to research firm The NPD Group.
Just 16 percent of that group play digitally downloaded games only, with that number likely to be PC gamers and mobile gamers. There is growing interest in Web-based technologies for game consoles, including digitally downloaded content, but the market is still growing - and many gamers often resell or trade game titles when finished.
"The value that gamers see in physical is having an actual disk that can be held, while later being able to trade-in or sell the game," said Liam Callahan, The NPD Group industry analyst, in a press statement. "Digital gamers like the economy of these games: they're either free or less expensive than their physical counterparts, as well as the ease and convenience of acquisition and storage."

Garry's Mod passes $30 million in sales, Rust flies past it quicker
Just how much money has Garry's Mod made in the time it has been released? $30 million and counting. But, what about Facepunch Studios' other successful game, that has been available for much less time? $30.1 million or more.
Facepunch Studios' founder, Garry Newman, broke the news through Twitter yesterday, where he said "Garry's Mod has just broke $30,000,000". He continued: "And if my calculations are correct - we have now officially made more money from Rust than Garry's Mod". Newman said that Rust revenue is approximately just 0.34% more than the sales of Garry's Mod, which makes Rust's sales over $30.1 million so far.
Considering Garry's Mod has been out since December of 2004, and Rust has been out in alpha form since December, Rust is doing extremely well for the studio so far.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game franchise to return in upcoming release
I am willing to bet that many of TweakTown's readers remember grinding out hours of thrashing in many of the titles in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater gaming franchise. I was one of those teens who spent hours on end playing Pro Skater 2 and racking up millions of points in maps enhanced by every cheat code the game offered. Fans of the series will be happy to hear that the Tony Hawk franchise is returning at some point in 2014 or 2015.
During an episode of hits show, Demolition Radio, on SiriusXM Radio, Tony Hawk himself let the news slip about the upcoming title on accident, and since then, a spokes person for Activision has came forward and confirmed that the game does exist and that new information regarding it will be officially released soon. This is good news for long-time fans which saw the franchise die out after a horrible HD remake of the original game failed miserably after its control system proved to be more buggy than an AAA title from EA on launch day.
Microsoft inviting some Xbox Live users to beta Xbox One updates
Microsoft is always working on updates for the Xbox One and Xbox 360 game consoles. Sometimes those updates are for bugs that have surfaced, like the black screen bug the last Xbox One update added for some. Other times the updates for the consoles add new features.
Microsoft has announce that it has been inviting specific Xbox Live gamers to beta the next update for the Xbox One game console. The Xbox team is working on an update for the Xbox One for March. The users that are chosen by Microsoft will get some of the features of that update early.
They will use the new features and provide Microsoft with feedback on the update via a private forum. Microsoft isn't offering any information on how it is choosing the people that will participate in the program. It does say that the users will be able to opt out of participating. That implies that the people don't have to ask to be part of the program.

Feenix announces Aria, a high-end gaming headset
Boutique gaming company Feenix has launched the Aria gaming headset, aimed towards providing gamers with better quality sound than regular headphones.
Using Japanese pine wood for the acoustic chamber, coupled with 50mm neodymium magnet drivers, Feenix wanted to bring audiophile sound to the gaming market. Aria owners have an immersive experience with 100% memory foam that surround the ear, and an independent clip microphone that provides "studio-grade recording" ability.
"For years gamers have been misled as to what they should be looking for in a gaming heaset," said Ashkon Shayani, Feenix Creative Director, in a press release. "Their choices have had nothing but poor sound quality, gimmicky features, and unnaturally over pronounced bass. The Aria focuses on providing high grade audio and reproducing sounds perfectly in studio monitor fashion. The result is the ability to hear sounds you never knew existed."
The Feenix Aria headphones are available for pre-order with a whopping $349 price tag.
Feenix gaming products are more expensive than the majority of current competing products, but are extremely high-quality and perform well. Also, customers have a dedicated account manager to assist in any follow-up support that is needed in case there are any questions - or problems - that might arise in the future.

Parsec Labs
CEO: Walter Angerer
Minneapolis-based Parsec Labs in October came out of stealth mode by unveiling plans to introduce technology early next year that provides storage virtualization for NAS.
The Parsec Labs technology accelerates data access to existing NAS systems while adding compression and deduplication to reduce storage capacity by about 60 percent, the company said. The technology also supports migration of data to the cloud to overcome capacity limitations while providing zero down time during installation and data migration, the company said.
Parsec Labs plans to lease its storage routing solution to businesses to help reduce their capital expenditure while improving the speed at which upgrades and additional services are added.
As solution providers position themselves for growth, the pressure is on vendors and distributors to meet their partners' needs. Here CRN presents the 2015 Channel Chiefs, our annual look at the executives responsible for running channels at today's IT vendors.

I love this series way too much and have wanted to cosplay from it for ages but the designs are super scary! ;-; Asta is my favourite female in the series shes so feisty! Plus Asta wears silver, crap loads of blue and red (My favourite colours!) has a pet tiger and has big boobs. It's like she was designed for me ~(Just kidding!) ;D I shall be uber tall at expo.

I didnt think Id ever finish this tbh ;w; I am very excited for Sat of expo, I shall have my wig on, along with my red nails and makeup. And I will be scary with my big spear. ROLL ON EXPO PLZ <3 |
DEM BOOTS (Posted 26th May 2010) Are done :'D Omg thigh highs are very high. I had to put my VERRRRYYY short shorts on to show the detail of the tights. Fffff D : I might take them down a bit... >_>; I really like how fitted they are though ;D Cotton to match the sleeves : D Plz excuse fatty legs D : |
Hat dumbassery (Posted 24th May 2010) Please see below journal for nice proper progress shots. This is my derp derp face. It shows my perdy earrings I bought today which match well (Y) |
Finished Hat (Posted 24th May 2010) Argh there's so much I want to change about it it bugs me alot but I still like it qwhfiwbkegqe9jq09rebn >: No one say to me its not symmetrical in real life. I will cry ;w; I still like how it shines though ;D Better not be any magpies at expo... |
More Progress (Posted 24th May 2010) Better shot of the weapon. Told you it was crap eh? I want to remake it but I have no time ;w; Been beading all my pretty expensive beads, theyre all on the hat. I'm just waiting for some foam to dry then I'll glue it on and post pictures of the finished hat. The 'back scarab' as I call it is done, and the sash. Photos for yooou~~ |
FEAR MEEEE... (Posted 24th May 2010) ...AND MY VERY LARGE CRAPPY WEAPON >8| Pvc pipe cut down a bit with a saw. Lots of craft foam and hella loads of hot glue along with even more gluegun burns. Srsly my hands are covered in blisters ;w; I'd say I hate glue guns but I'd be lying, they're so useful <3333 The top bit is a chopstick covered in air dry clay. Everything was sprayed in a clear gloss, then once dried sprayed silver. The things taller than me. Haaaah this will be so fun on the tubes :/ I think its pretty funky but tbh its not the best I could of done, im running out of time though so I guess this will have to do. Might remake in the future ;w; Pictures are a bit crap, might post better ones later once its properly dried. |
Patterns~~ (Posted 22nd May 2010) Just the collar, hat, puffy sleeves and front chest bit to go. Bottom dress detail done, this is the back. Some armour to on though~ |
Tights Detail (Posted 22nd May 2010) DONE! Its not perfect but ohwell I like it. Im not doing the inside leg for now it was awkward enough doing the ouside leg. Done with acrylic paints~ |
Bootcovers (Posted 22nd May 2010) FFFF EXPO IS LIKE A WEEK AWAY WTF IS DIS WHY IS IT SNEAKING UP ON ME?!?! D : Its fine she'll be done in time >_>; I need to buy some red fabric for the sash, more jems, some beading thread for the beads on her hat/scarab and lots of velcro. I made the bootcovers today, they need a bit of taking in and I need to sew 38723571027 buttons to them. Then i need to hot glue them to my shoes and we're done. I'll post photos sometime over the weekend dont worry (Y) |
Back progress and Tryout (Posted 8th May 2010) Pieceing everything I have so far together. I'm beginning to think this is doable and that yes I might actually be proud of Asta ;-; Started painting the back with the remainder of the paint I have, I NEED MOOOREE. Im not just making this up, I am looking at a couple back shots *cough*STARINGATASTAAAA'SASS*cough* and taking bits from the various images with my own touch. I hope you guys think its alright :| Opinions are welcome, I think everything is looking in proportion/ok right? Ps. not my sash, thats a random red tie as a standin LOL PPS.All armour is pinned, hence why some is falling down in the photo =.=' |
More painting x_X (Posted 6th May 2010) Finished sleeves, just need to sew the blue bit a little bit so its more attached to the white bit. Once thats done theyre doing on the dress~~ Bottom back of the dress, more jems are needed and more paint is too for further up the back. Sorry for the crappy photos again >: |
Armour done! (Posted 6th May 2010) THE ARMOUR IS DOOONE *punches air* I really like it too 83 Just need to put velcro on the back and attach to dress~ I've been working on the dress detail, which lead to me staring at a picture of Asta's ass for a good three hours whilst paiting the back of the dress. I r perv *shot* Also painted the sleeves, once they're dried I can sew them to the dress. Buttons ordered for the bootcovers, hopefully they'll be here in a couple of days~ ILU ebay <3 Thankies for Fii for finding them for me <333 Beads purchased for the hat and the weird scarab bit on the back. (I call it a scarab because I think it looks beatleish. Dont ask just trust me on this xD) THE BEADS WERE SO EXPENSIVE GOD DAMNIT. I DONT WANT TO BREECH £100 FOR THIS COSPLAY T^T I need more tulip silver paint =.= Thats four bottles down. FML. |
Wig styled~ (Posted 6th May 2010) I decided to style the wig now, leave it on my wig head and spray it every so often leading up to expo now~ Front of hat is decorated, just the back and top to do now. FRICK I really hate the shape of the hat now argh I cant be arsed to fix it >: |
Painted Armour (Posted 5th May 2010) About 2-3 layers of spray paint. I did the back and sides too so the color wouldnt be visable. I liked the rainbow armour ;w; Off into town today to pick up some beads, lots more tulip silver paint and lots of buttons for the covers. Sorry bank account >: |
Mofo-ing Pope Hat! (Posted 3rd May 2010) It deserves the title mofo because of all the agro its given me. My hands are covered in blisters and burns from the hot glue and then my fingers hurt from hand stitching through mountboard and fabric. I bent a needle in the process :/ Photo is shite because i look naff and it was taken in a room with bad light and in a mirror. Sorry! XD' Now to pimping it up... Its not 100% accurate in shape. Which will and DOES bug me. But ive had so much hassle im gonna leave it for now. Mays sneaking up way too close for my liking... |
Dress Detail (Posted 3rd May 2010) Started this, its slow because i need to wait for various parts to dry before carrying on. Also gotta be careful not to bodge it up and I've gotta get it matching. Some artistic license used. |
Bling! (Posted 4th March 2010) Rage at the ebay seller! They sent me some bling in oval shapes, when i ordered circles! Im a bit annoyed but I need more circles in different sizes anyway so I'm just going to get them from my local fabric shop. Big bag of red beads I picked up for like a pound ages ago. I can use these on the dangly bits and maybe parts of the dress. |
Blue dress~ (Posted 27th February 2010) I hate being ill! I couldn't go to work and my normal routine when ill is to sit in front of the tv and watch spongebob all day feeling sorry for myself. (You can do this on Sky, hes always on trust me ;D) Aaaanyway my Dad was complaining he'd already seen these episodes (As in, I've made him watch them before) So in the end I got up off my arse and made my Blue dress. |
Bling bling yo~ (Posted 26th February 2010) Ebay raid for silly amounts of gems? Complete (Y) ASTAAAAA you will kill me D : |
Armour and Tights (Posted 14th February 2010) I've painted all the detail in 3D paint onto my armour. Jeez my hand cramped so much its insane, I'm really pleased though, all of it need smothering in PVA then I can spray paint it :3 RAINBOW ARMOOOOUR <3 I wish I could leave it like this ;-; |
Armour Progress 02 (Posted 12th February 2010) All my armour so far! We have bits for the shoulder, sash, arms, puffy sleeves bits and some for the back of Asta which you cant see in the ref I've uploaded. The thick black lines will be painted over in 3D paint, then PVA-ed then spray painted :3 |
Makeup test! (Posted 12th February 2010) This is actually my second test, the first went horribly wrong. I was really upset with it because I looked like a drag queen or a panto ugly step sister! (Something along those lines anyway...) P.S I have no idea what I'm doing with my hand. I make some weirdass freaky poses! ;-; |
Devil hat is the devil (Posted 7th February 2010) I'm not even joking, my fingers are COVERED in blisters and burns from my glue gun while trying to make this hat. I've ran out of mount board though, but I've got the base shape though. In the pic it doesn't look symmetrical. It is believe me, just the piccie! |
Armour Progress 01 (Posted 1st February 2010) I drafted the pattern out of grease proof paper against my mannequin, this took a while to get the proportions right? I think they're ok now XD' I hope! P.S: I had a route through my mum's makeup, shes let me have red lipstick, red lipliner and red nailpolish <3 With my red eyeshadow I have enough makeup for a MAKEUP TEST :D I'll do it tomorrow after college though :3 I love my muuuum~<3 |
Wig Progress 01 (Posted 1st February 2010) I bought a 51" white long wig, and cut the side bangs slightly so I could stick them out Like Asta's. I then 'wefted' the bits I'd cut off to glue back into the fringe area to get a thicker fringe. The red weft is from my Yoko wig, I like how its turned out but I think its too thick. I'm tempted to leave it, we'll see :/ Full shot is without flash. The top right hand picture is with flash! I have red eyeshadow now so I might do a makeup test for you guys sometime :3 |

All of these ideas will work okay for cleaning the chamber, but I do not think the gun itself is the cause of this problem. Even starting with a spotless chamber the lacquer-coated cases will soon start sticking after a few rounds are fired. The lacquer on the cases will soften and cause this problem over and over. I have talked to other shooters who have experienced this problem with a Mosin Nagant and they concurred that the ammo was the root cause of the problem with sticking bolts. Maybe somehow finely polishing the chamber might help but it would take a certain skill level to do it right, and I certainly wouldn't suggest it.
I did everything c3 said then I lapped my bolt to the receiver. I haven't had too much trouble since. Polish the mating surfaces on the bolt as well, a little 1000 grit sand paper and some mothers mag polish.

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
*edit* Now we're making sense.
I have cleaned the bore and chamber fully, and lubed the bolt. Im not going to try to de-lacquer the bullets, just going to try to get through the steel ammo then get "the good stuff" thank you all!!!

Mike Morash doesn't make eye contact with the judge. He whispers to a couple of the motorcycle cops and then quickly ducks out of the courtroom.
Later, in an interview, Rosendahl insists the law is on Ortiz's side. The charge of causing a death while driving without a license requires the state to prove that Ortiz was driving negligently, which means the state would have to prove she was at fault. No one's accused Ortiz of actually doing anything wrong aside from her failure to get a driver's license. In addition, the Department of Motor Vehicles has bolstered Ortiz's case, Rosendahl insists, by concluding that the intersection is dangerous. Since the accident, DOT officials told her they agreed to trim the trees, get rid of a few parallel parking spots, and make it a right-turn-only intersection. And finally, the attorney promises to hire a specialist who will reconstruct the crash to show it wasn't Ortiz's fault. At some point, Ortiz will plead guilty to driving without insurance or registration, both misdemeanors. The trial, which could begin as early as January, will prove Ortiz's innocence on the charge that she caused Morash's death, Rosendahl concludes. "I think people need to look to their hearts," she says, "and determine what's reasonable."
After the hearing and coverage of the case by local newspapers, Rosendahl says, her office was flooded with calls offering money for Ortiz's bail. But Ortiz still needed another $170 to pay for a bracelet she would have to wear while she was out, to make sure she stayed at home. Three days after the hearing, Geamny is trying to figure out how to pay for it. He has only $8. "I haven't got it," Geamny says by cell phone from his tow truck. "We have the money for bail but not more. I had to pay the rent. We don't have any more money." Finally, Rosendahl says the prosecutors agreed to waive the court fees for the monitoring equipment. The attorney took it as a sign that the state acknowledges the public's outcry over the prosecution.
Either way, Ortiz gets out of jail a day before the first birthday of her youngest daughter, Victoria. The family makes hot dogs and hamburgers and cake for the neighborhood kids. Ortiz gives her daughter hand-drawn cards she made in her cell, ones she thought she would have to send from jail.
Two days later, Rosendahl arranges for the public to meet her client by way of a television news crew from West Palm's Channel 25. The attorney forbids Ortiz from speaking of the accident or whether she's sorry about what happened. Reporter Angela Rozier sits Ortiz in a kitchen chair with Victoria on her lap. Ortiz says the accident has changed her, made her fearful of many things. "I'm scared of nighttime," she says through constant tears; they run down the channel of the scar below her eye. "If I fall asleep, I dream. I have nightmares," she says. "And every time I hear a police car siren or ambulance, I think it's for me, and I'm so scared and terrified."
The reporter asks about all the people donating food and money and diapers. "I thank my angels from heaven," Ortiz says, Victoria squirming on her lap. "They donate food for my kids when I'm in there. And money. Every time I pray, I tell the Lord to bless them."
Ortiz's kitchen chair is under the archway that separates the tiny foyer of the cottage from the even smaller living room. Through a side door is the kids' mattress-covered bedroom. As the interview winds down, the wrestling match on the mattresses gets louder, and Ortiz ducks away to silence them. Rosendahl, in a red skirt suit with matching Chanel accessories, also tries a few times to quiet the horde. After the television reporter wraps up the interview, Ortiz opens the bedroom door and the kids spill out into the living room to catch SpongeBob SquarePants on the old RCA. With the kids distracted, Ortiz admits she told the kids she had been in the hospital for those couple of weeks. They ask her about the ankle bracelet she's required to wear. "I tell them it's for the baby," she says, a hand on the bulge above her jeans. "I tell them it monitors the heartbeat. I don't want them to know what's going on. They don't need to know this about their mom."
Some day soon, she might have to tell the kids what's going on. If she goes to prison, they'll probably come visit her, and they'll know she's not at the hospital. Her oldest, 5-year-old Geamny Jr., is in first grade now and is likely to figure it out. Someday, she might have to tell them that a car she was driving killed a respected police officer and that she's going to jail for a while because of it. They'll have to help raise the baby while she's there. It's due in April.

In Brazil, less than two per cent of the population owns more than half of the nation's territory.
By Jose Coutinho Junior
The Minister of Agrarian Development (MDA), Pepe Vargas, in an interview with Carta Maior declared the decrease in the coming years of the number of families settled pursuant to agrarian reform.
The minister also claims that the number of families living in the encampments has decreased. For Alexandre Conceição, from the National Coordination of the MST, the statements mask the reality of the Brazilian countryside.
Check out the interview with the Página do MST:
May 31, 2012 by Brasil do Fato
The three words above are not mere propaganda. Over the past ten years Brazilian agribusiness has taken over as the form of production in agriculture. It is a model of agricultural production, now subordinated to the interests of finance capital and transnational corporations. When allied to large Brazilian farmers, they intrude on nature.
Transcription of the talk by João Pedro Stedile, of the MST, in the meeting between Dilma and representatives of civil society held on January 26 2012 during the Thematic Social Forum in Porto Alegre.
By Luiz Felipe Albuquerque
Agriculture has undergone a major transformation in Brazil over the past 10 years, with the advancement of the agribusiness model. This model is based on: the production of monocultures on large estates; in an alliance of capitalist farmers, transnational corporations and financial capital; a mechanization that promotes expelling families from the countryside; and in an excessive use poisons, the agro-toxins.
The year is ending and again we have the feeling of accomplishment for all the struggles, activities, and alliances that we've built and engaged in with all the various sectors of the working class. In another difficult year we had to carry out great struggles against agribusiness that continues its offensive against our lands, natural resources, and public investments.
