"A great Pratchett with a decent reader"
I love print books and audio books, for different reasons so I can't really answer that!
I love Death trying to get a job for the first time
It's very hard for Nigel Planer to compete with Stephen Briggs, the reader that I have heard doing most of the Pratchett books. But he's a good reader with excellent accents and if I wasn't a die-hard Briggs fan I would have been completely happy with him.
When Death takes his employer out for a dance party after her death.
"That's some plummy voice!"
I like this reader, but I find I have to be in the mood for him. His delivery is VERY over-the-top Victorian, very music hall Sherlock and his occasional mis-emphasized sentences kind of bug me. In general though an excellent performance of a great book.
The flaming-eyed Hound leaping out of the mist to attach Sir Henry!!
He's got a great delivery, very theatrical, almost histrionic, but fun when I'm in the mood for that.
I've been listening to this in bits in between other books. It's a book I enjoy very much but I'm ok with using it as a filler in between things that I might be more in the mood for
"Fun, but not fabulous"
I enjoyed the characters, and the story was pretty fun though the ending was not good - very abrupt. It made it seem like a chapter rather than a stand-alone book.
The narrator was great, even navigating the poorly- written and juvenile sex scenes with aplomb
"Fun and Original Stories, Versatile Reader"
I haven't read the print version, but I'm very impressed by the reader. The variety of styles and voices necessary to read these stories is immense and though he doesn't always quite get it, he's an accomplished reader and fun to listen to.
I love the Texas Rangers story, just brilliant, as is the "John Carter" (Edgar Rice Burroughs homage) story, though sadly truncated of necessity. It would make a great book in itself.
Though his best stories are the American ones, he does a fabulous job with the dizzying array of voices necessary for these diverse stories.
"Why does this have such good reviews??"
The writing. I'm very picky about the audiobooks I buy. I mean, they're pretty expensive and I don't want to waste time on bad ones when there are so many good ones. I'm a big fan of fantasy/historical fiction and of Robin Hood so it's not the genre ... this book is just plain poorly written, and only barely saved by the decent reader. Poor plot and character development, characters acting as the writer needs them to rather than as they would in 'real life' (seemingly), continuity problems, and just plain awkward writing. I can't recommend this for even the most diehard Robin Hood fan.
No, I'll just be more careful in future.
Possibly. It's hard to say whether he saved this book from being a total loss or whether he didn't help any - the writing was that bad.
I may still return it. I kind of resent spending money on something this bad, though I did end up listening to it to the end, which after this first chapter I didn't think I could tolerate!
"A Masterful Reader!"
Absolutely. James Masters really captures the character of Harry Dresden and it's a really fun book
His take on Dresden is so perfect - the self-deprecating humor, the world-weariness, the heart ... he's got it all
Read it! (well, listen to it!)
"Great reader, mediocre story"
Definitely. I loved the reader, she did a great job.
I love stories from 1930s England. It's a time that I find fascinating. This story was somehow not that engaging though -- I liked the idea but the execution was lacking
I loved her friend - the voice totally reminded me of actress Shirley Henderson's very distinctive delivery (Moaning Myrtle from he Harry Potter movies)
I wouldn't. Though actually it might make a decent film, better than the book
"Amazing. Listen."
Absolutely. Amazing book, and harrowing, but just super
Fabulously written
Their readings were perfect and I loved that they used two readers
Well, SPOILER, Julie is dead, so it would have to be Maddie and Jamie
Wow. Listen.
"As always, fabulous!"
Terry Pratchett never fails to entrance and delight me. Great characters, great story, pointed satire ... what's not to like?
Stephen Briggs is uniformly, consistently brilliant!
"Not his best, and NOT a great reader!"
I really enjoyed the Prism series, can't wait for the next book ... but I read them myself and didn't listen to them. I'm finding the Night Angel books to be confusing and not terribly well written. Although, the reader is abysmal - reading in an over-dramatic style that is annoying and doesn't help to clarify anything. He's tolerable once you get used to it, but it is a constant effort to ignore how annoying I find his reading style.
Though his voice is clear and he enunciates well, his style is very overblown - reading even the most simple passages with huge portent. Annoying.
"Pratchett's Best"
I think this is one of Pratchett's best stories - excellent characters, excellent story, lots going on but his usual insightful mix of craziness and satire
I really love seeing the young Vetinari in this book
Stephen Briggs is ALWAYS brilliant
Of course!

So why don't more cars have fender mirrors?
Saw this picture of a second gen Nissan Cube with fender mirrors and thought it looked rad. But it made me wonder if there were any laws stopping the average person from installing some fender mirrors on any car they wanted here in the US. It seems that, as long as you have mirrors, they're legal. For my state:

A repository in publishing, and especially in academic publishing, is a real or virtual facility for the deposit of academic publications, such as academic journal articles. Deposit of material in such a site may be mandatory for a certain group, such as a particular university's doctoral graduates in a thesis repository, or published papers from those holding grants from a particular government agency in a subject repository, or, sometimes, in their own institutional repository. Or it may be voluntary, as usually the case for technical reports at a university. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Repository)

Labor Day in the United States is a holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September. It is a celebration of the American labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of their country.
Labor Day was promoted by the Central Labor Union and the Knights of Labor, who organized the first parade in New York City. After the Haymarket Massacre, which occurred in Chicago on May 4, 1886, US President Grover Cleveland feared that commemorating Labor Day on May 1 could become an opportunity to commemorate the affair. Thus, in 1887, it was established as an official holiday in September to support the Labor Day that the Knights favored.
A branch, banking center or financial center is a retail location where a bank, credit union, or other financial institution (and by extension, brokerage firms) offers a wide array of face-to-face and automated services to its customers.
During the 3rd century banks in Persia (now Iran) and in other territories started to issue letters of credit known as Sakks, basically checks in today's language, that could be traded in cooperative houses or offices throughout the Persian territories.]citation needed[ In the period from 1100-1300 banking started to expand across Europe and banks began opening 'branches' in remote, foreign locations to support international trade.]citation needed[ In 1327, Avignon in France had 43 branches of Italian banking houses alone.]citation needed[
The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW or the Wobblies) is an international industrial union that was formed in 1905. The origin of the nickname "Wobblies" is uncertain.
The IWW promotes the concept of "One Big Union", contends that all workers should be united as a social class and that capitalism and wage labor should be abolished. They are known for the Wobbly Shop model of workplace democracy, in which workers elect their managers and other forms of grassroots democracy (self-management) are implemented. IWW membership does not require that one work in a represented workplace, nor does it exclude membership in another labor union.
Credit unions in the United States serve 96 million members, comprising 43.7% of the economically active population. US credit unions are not-for-profit, cooperative, tax-exempt organizations. As of October 2011, the largest American credit union was Navy Federal Credit Union, serving U.S. Department of Defense employees, contractors, and families of servicepeople, with over $45 billion USD in assets and over 3.4 million members. Total credit union assets in the U.S. reached $1 trillion as of March 2012.
Due to their small size and limited exposure to mortgage securitizations, credit unions have weathered the financial meltdown of 2008 reasonably well. However, two of the biggest corporate credit unions in the United States (U.S. Central Credit Union and Wescorp) with combined assets of more than $57 billion were taken over by the federal government National Credit Union Administration on March 20, 2009.
Banking in the United States is regulated by both the federal and state governments. The five largest banks in the United States at December 31, 2011 were JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Goldman Sachs. In December 2011, the five largest banks' assets were equal to 56 percent of the U.S. economy, compared with 43 percent five years earlier.
The U.S. finance industry comprised only 10% of total non-farm business profits in 1947, but it grew to 50% by 2010. Over the same period, finance industry income as a proportion of GDP rose from 2.5% to 7.5%, and the finance industry's proportion of all corporate income rose from 10% to 20%. The mean earnings per employee hour in finance relative to all other sectors has closely mirrored the share of total U.S. income earned by the top 1% income earners since 1930. The mean salary in New York City's finance industry rose from $80,000 in 1981 to $360,000 in 2011, while average New York City salaries rose from $40,000 to $70,000. In 1988, there were about 12,500 U.S. banks with less than $300 million in deposits, and about 900 with more deposits, but by 2012, there were only 4,200 banks with less than $300 million in deposits in the U.S., and over 1,800 with more.
A trade union (British English – trades union and amalgamation are also used), labour union (Canadian English) or labor union (American English) is an organization of workers who have banded together to achieve common goals such as protecting the integrity of its trade, achieving higher pay, increasing the number of employees an employer hires, and better working conditions. The trade union, through its leadership, bargains with the employer on behalf of union members (rank and file members) and negotiates labour contracts (collective bargaining) with employers. The most common purpose of these associations or unions is "maintaining or improving the conditions of their employment". This may include the negotiation of wages, work rules, complaint procedures, rules governing hiring, firing and promotion of workers, benefits, workplace safety and policies.
Unions may organize a particular section of skilled workers (craft unionism), a cross-section of workers from various trades (general unionism), or attempt to organize all workers within a particular industry (industrial unionism). The agreements negotiated by a union are binding on the rank and file members and the employer and in some cases on other non-member workers. Trade unions traditionally have a constitution which details the governance of their bargaining unit and also have governance at various levels of government depending on the industry that binds them legally to their negotiations and functioning.
A credit union is a member-owned financial cooperative, democratically controlled by its members, and operated for the purpose of promoting thrift, providing credit at competitive rates, and providing other financial services to its members. Many credit unions also provide services intended to support community development or sustainable international development on a local level.
Worldwide, credit union systems vary significantly in terms of total system assets and average institution asset size, ranging from volunteer operations with a handful of members to institutions with assets worth several billion US dollars and hundreds of thousands of members. Credit unions operate alongside other mutual and/or co-operative organisations engaging in cooperative banking, such as building societies.

I've not only been a member of several churches belonging to the American Baptist Churches USA, I'm also married to someone who used to work in the denomination headquarters. I did see that Sharpton was called an American Baptist minister in Wikipedia, but I have to wonder if that didn't mean simply that he is American and a Baptist minister. He is emphatically NOT a minister we ever hear anything about as being part of the denomination, not a spokesperson on any level.
There are black Baptist churches that have a dual alignment with their own denomination and with the ABC, possibly because the latter has an excellent pension plan. The Rev. Martin Luther King was in that way connected, and we have heard him named many times. Al Sharpton...never.
As for the denomination being liberal, yes, there are liberal churches within the group. But my church and the other ABC churches I have attended have been evangelical, not liberal. The ABC does not function like, for example, the Catholic Church, in the sense that doctrines are handed down from the denominational headquarters. Churches are free to set their own policies at the local level.
OK, you're right. Sorry about that.
Sorry, my reply was to Old Vince. I don't know why it didn't show up under his remarks.
Didn't you read the story until the end? Mr. Hunter was being sarcastic about not voting if the Republican candidates aren't perfectly conservative. His point was that keeping Democrats in office would be a more damaging outcome.
And I agree.
If they are banning Christian authors, then anything written by J. R. R. Tolkien would have to go. In fact, a great deal of classical literature would have to be banned also. Milton, Pope, Tennyson, Samuel Johnson, John Donne...all of these writers would be verboten. Oh, and don't forget Dante. I guess The Divine Comedy just won't do.
That is incorrect. SSI is not the same as RSDI (Retirement, Survivors, Disability Income). If a person is assessed as disabled by the Social Security Administration, but that person does not have the 40 quarters of earned income required to collect a Social Security benefit, he or she will get SSI. I think that the current amount is about $700/mo. for most people.
If a worker has worked the required 40 quarters, he or she will be eligible for Social Security benefits if adjudged to be disabled, and the amount will be based on the worker's average wages. If the amount earned in Social Security income is less than the amount that would be received by getting SSI, then the Social Security amount will be augmented by SSI to bring that person's monthly income up to the current SSI figure plus a small bonus (I think it's about $10/month).
Survivors' benefits are also based on the worker's average income and go to the spouse and/or children of either a disabled or a deceased worker.
In short...SSI benefits are not paid into by the recipient. The disabled person gets the same amount regardless of whether he or she has worked at all.
Once again the debate about welfare is being derailed from the main issue about benefits. The worst abuse is not people selling their benefits; it is the fact that they are collecting them fraudulently. In nearly a decade of doing this job, I found dozens, literally dozens, of cases where the client was lying about his or her circumstances in order to collect. In spite of the fact that I was "too tired" every day when I left the office from an out-of-control caseload, I tried my best to send every suspicious case to the investigators when I had any clue to what the lie was. Usually it was the children's father in the home who made the lion's share of the income. Occasionally it was someone who was failing to report a successful business. And as many people as I caught, it was like emptying the ocean with a paper cup. Many of these people I cut off just reapplied further down the line and the caseworkers didn't bother checking the notes to see why they had been terminated from benefits. And management loved stories about people that the office made happy...and cared not one whit about the people we made "unhappy" by exposing their lies.
Trust me, the big story that has never and probably never will be reported is how many people are willing to lie for the sake of some extra money every month. Every one of them should do at least a small amount of mandatory jail time.
Take it from an ex-caseworker. I've found welfare cheats from all races. Since there are many people who are of the (fill in the blank) race who are not guilty of welfare fraud, why even bring it up?
"And despite the data showing that children do better if their parents are married, we shouldn't assume we know what works best."
Mr. Stossel just contradicted himself.
As someone who works in the welfare system, I get to see on a daily basis the results of the new model of mother with some number of children who leans on the government for the majority of her needs. A huge number of these single mothers don't even bother to file for child support. While the stigmatization of children for their parents's failings was wrong, the de-stigmatization has led to the unhooking of establishing a satisfactory "nest" with reproduction, to the detriment of both chlidren and our economy, which must support an increasingly dependant population of single-parent households.
I sometimes wonder if Mr. Stossel ever thinks of the consequences of his suggestions with regard to how it affects our welfare state--which we are stuck with, regardless of whether we like it.
A.D. means Anno Domini--in th year of the Lord--not "after death." Years in the A.D. period start during Christ's lifetime.

This professional audio AU and VST plugin implements a classic technique of transforming a monophonic track into spacious stereophonic track by means of mid/side coding technique. This plug-in is most effective on monophonic sounds without overly sharp transients: it works great for both acoustic and electric/overdriven guitars, synthetic pad sounds and even vocals.
Basically, the plug-in takes a mono input signal and generates a stereo output signal. Plug-in can also work with multi-channel input signal, but in this case all channels get processed independently of each other like they are separate mono input signals, and then all resulting stereo streams get mixed together to produce a single stereo output signal.

Horses cataloged for sale down 34 percent
Published: Monday, October 6, 2008 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 6, 2008 at 6:31 a.m.
In the midst of what has been described as the worst financial crisis in the United States since the Great Depression, Ocala Breeders' Sales Co. hosts its annual Fall Mixed Sale today through Wednesday with all sessions beginning at 10:30 a.m.
However, in the horse business, show business and every other business across the nation, the show must go on. On the positive side, the number of horses cataloged is down 34 percent from the 1,505 last year to 1,000 this year.
The consignor preferred section of the sale Monday is down 48 percent from 664 a year ago to 348 this year.
This decrease in supply should be a significant help to the sale. Prices of any commodity usually trend up or down based on the balance between supply and demand. A decrease in supply usually drives the price up, and likewise, an increase in supply usually causes the price to drop.
Last year's two-day consignor preferred section yielded an average of $26,753. That figure was up 24 percent from the three-session consignor preferred sale in 2006. However, the buyback rate last year was a whopping 49.3 percent, almost half, as buyers and sellers adjusted to new consignor preferred sale rules.
The company raised the minimum commission for the consignor preferred sessions to $1,000. That would be the usual commission on a horse that sells for $20,000.
The new rules have been effective in reducing the number of horses entered in the consignor preferred sessions.
Two years ago, three days of the five-day sale were devoted to the consignor preferred sale. Last year, two days of the four-day sale were consignor preferred. This year the consignor preferred portion of the sale fits in a single session.
This is the idea behind the preferred session. The consignors enter their better stock in the preferred session, allowing out of town buyers to come to the sale for one day and bid on the better horses instead of sifting through the entire sale.
Tom Ventura, OBS sales manager points out another positive for this sale.
"This is the first mixed sale of the year and the first chance for buyers to get a look at the weanlings of this year's first crop sires."
First crop sires with weanlings cataloged in this sale are Bachelor Blues, Bandini, Bellamy Road, Congrats, Da Stoops, Fire Slam, Forest Grove, Giacomo, Imperialism, Leading the Parade, Mass Media and Pomeroy.
Other first crop sires with weanlings in this sale are Praying for Cash, Rockport Harbor, Sharp Humor, The Daddy, Too Much Bling, War Front and With Distinction.
On the racing front, Vineyard Haven won the Champagne Stakes (gr. 1) Saturday at Belmont Park to give Florida-breds another big win and a possible favorite for this year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile.
Bred in Florida by Lynn Scace, Vineyard Haven defeated some of the best two-year-olds in the nation by five-and-three-quarter lengths in the one-mile event. The son of Lido Palace is now three wins in four starts for earnings of $404,000.
It was also a big win for Lido Palace. The son of Rich Man's Gold stands at Lambholm South for $5,000. This is his second stakes winner from two crops of racing age. His first stakes winner was Down For Double, winner of the Copa 4 de Julia (gr. 1) in Puerto Rico.

Aggies have only begun to prime the lucrative SEC pump
Published: Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 24, 2011 at 1:12 a.m.
You run across the good-news, bad-news scenarios every day and in all walks of life.
The good news: You've been invited to a pizza party. The bad news: The pizzas the host decided on were Totino's.
The good news: A Tampa Bay Ray has agreed to show up for your function to sign autographs and drum up business. The bad news: That player is Cesar Ramos.
Just the mere mention of trouble in the Big 12 created by the University of Texas and the ill-fated Longhorn Network is good news. Texas A&M can't wait to follow Nebraska and Colorado out of the conference, and Oklahoma is none too thrilled either.
The bad news? Talk of the Aggies coming to the SEC just won't go away, and sooner or later it will be time to either drink, or get off the bar stool.
The same way the old Southwest Conference collapsed, the once-proud Big 12 is on that very doorstep.
First, it may seem like overkill to keep pointing out how ridiculous it seems to have the Big 12 with 10 programs and the Big Ten with 12. I bring this to light again only to say if the SEC somehow had a numbers mistake within its name, fans of the Big Ten-plus-2 and Big 12-minus-2 would snort and chortle until they made you feel like an idiot and had thoroughly convinced you that "Carter Country" was an accurate portrayal of life in the South.
But they can't do that any more than they can convince you that the SEC hasn't won the past five national championships — and nine of the past 19 — and made the Big Ten+2 look like the Lancaster High School Barn-Raisers trying to take down St. Thomas Aquinas during New Year's bowl games.
Even Ohio State, in its quest to wipe away an 0-for-history bowl problem against the SEC, had its one apparent victory in 10 wiped away as part of self-imposed penalties when everyone in the country — except the NCAA — was aware the Buckeyes were competing with ineligible players against Arkansas.
The Big Ten+2 strengthened itself by accepting Nebraska with open arms and with the promise of stronger football and sharing a million stories in the offseason meetings about co-existing in a league with the University of Texas for a decade and a half.
So, suddenly, the Big Ten+2 qualifies for divisional play (don't get me started on Legends and Leaders). And the Big 12-2 is trying to get us to buy the line that somehow losing a game that produces excitement, national publicity, an enhanced BCS number and an economic impact of — according to Forbes magazine — $20 million over one December weekend is a good thing.
No wonder Texas A&M wants out. And no wonder the SEC is going to let the Aggies do what they have to do to get out of their Big 12-2 obligations (mess) before taking more clear aim at getting the SEC's foot into the Texas market.
The question will then be, who will the SEC bring in to achieve divisional balance? And that will be a topic that will make blood pressure rise for the foreseeable future.
The SEC has hinted it doesn't want to raid another conference in order to pull even. That's code for: "Call us, we won't call you." After all, Texas A&M initiated this most-recent date.
With those ground rules established, Louisville might be a candidate to make the call.
Florida State was extended an invitation to join the SEC in 1991, but opted for the ACC, where it spent a decade throwing around opponents like Kramer threw around 10-year-old karate class mates, then fell back into the pack.
Georgia Tech already left the SEC once, and Georgia doesn't want to share its state with the Yellow Jackets again in an SEC kind of way.
Clemson has a fringe SEC feel about it, but doesn't quite add up.
Whatever happens, it will only come after Texas A&M has finally had enough of the Big 12-2, and of Texas, and of the Longhorn Network, and divorces itself from the entire situation.
RANDOM THOUGHTS: It seemed interesting that Carlos Zambrano's fiasco of gopherballs and beanballs led to his ejection in Atlanta on the very night the Cubs visited a Braves team honoring Bobby Cox, the all-time leader in managerial ejections. ... Miami booster and Ponzi schemer Nevin Shapiro said he lavished gifts of great value to Hurricanes players from 2002 until 2010, or roughly the period the UM program spiraled downward and virtually out of sight after winning five national titles in a 19-year span. You'd think he could've gotten more bang for other people's buck.

im kicken around the idea of writing an article on medium bore DG cartridges. ive been doing a large amount of research on them and find them to be very interesting. im thinking a brief history, potential uses, reloading tips, and perhaps my own general opinion. this article isnt going to be published or anything. im really writing it just for fun. so far the cartridges id like to talk about are: 416 weatherby 416 Rigby 416 Remington Mag 416 Ruger 500/416 NE 3.25" 404 Jeffery 375 H&H 450/400 NE 3" 9.3x74R (may or may not include this one) any one think i should add any other cartridges? any suggested info i should put in the article? thanks -matt
nice idea Matt I would like to read about the preferred bullet weights and at what speed they perform best.
Surely if you are going to possible include the 9.3x74 you have to also include the 9.3 x62 as well. I think it is a great idea as there are many who may have the good sense to except that the super bores have limited use (for them) and the medium to large bores offer a very much wider use. The 40 cal really is the do all bore size and the 404/416 while having a wide exceptance among the knowelegable, those new to the idea of DG hunting are often swayed toward the super bores as being necessary. It may be for your own enjoyment but I believe there are many who would learn fro such an article.
Matt85, In terms of adding any other cartridges: The .405 Winchester made a small splash in Africa (perhaps due to T. Roosevelt having used one there in about 1909/1910.) This is possibly evidenced by the common Belgian (and other makers), Pre-War double rifles in .405 caliber. (When you get a chance, have a peep at: www.champlinarms.com.) With factory loads, it is not my idea of a good cartridge for thick skinned game but for so called plains game, I would not hesitate to carry it to Africa. Likewise, it is popular in Alaska where I live and I will guess next door in Canada as well. After that, if you end up deciding to include the 9.3x74R, I suggest that you include the 9.3x62 as well. No doubt you already know one is for single shots, doubles, and combination guns of one type or another, while the other is primarily for bolt actions, and they are ballistic twins. That being said, it seems good press that if you decide to write about one, you should at least mention the other. Your idea for an article on the medium bores is excellent. I applaud you for it. Cheers, Velo Dog.
im very hesitant to include the 9.3mm cartridges since its debatable whether they are suitable for DG. personally I believe they would be fine for thin skinned DG but falls short for thick skinned game. the 405 Win falls into the same category as the 9.3mm's in that its suitable for cats but not really thick skinned critters. I did forget the 375 Ruger in my caliber list. -matt
i am with von gruff and velo dog that you have to include the 9.3x62 along with the 9.3x74r also they are 2 of my favourite cals . they have both taken plenty of the big stuff in the past and still do, and dont forget the 9.3x64 which is very similar in capabilities to the .375h&h
Just to complicate your project, back in the day the Wesley Richards .318 Accelerated Express accounted for a whole lot of DG. Selby tells the story that a .318 solid penetrated deeper than any other bullet he ever witnessed. One inbound black rhino took one in the snout and it was just under the hide of its right rear hip. 250 gr is the classic load. With solids it was very dependable on elephant and buffalo, and softs were considered ideal lion medicine. It will certainly do anything a 9.3 x 74 will do.
I'm with Red Leg on this one. In African hunting cartridge terms, I do not really know where "small bore" ends and "medium bore" begins. However, he is correct about the .318 WR's awesome reputation in Africa's history. According to Bell (refer to his book: "The Wanderings of an Elephant Hunter"), his favorite cartridge for heavy/thick skinned game was the .318, with 250 grain FMJ bullet (then and now it was/is a 2400 fps load). Sorry to pour more kerosene on the fire but, if you write about that incredibly well balanced and historic cartridge, you must by good rights at least mention its ballistic twin; the .338-06....(250 gr RN bullet @ 2400 fps). The people who dig shooting very large animals with very small calibers (recoil sensitive I guess) often claim that Bell sacked a thousand elephants with a 7x57 Mauser (.275 Rigby) but, if you read his book, he actually preferred the .318/250 gr/round nose "solid" (dreaded cup & core FMJ type). There were other calibers that he used as well but exact numbers of elephant (and other game) taken with each might be foggy. Another roach in the small bore oatmeal is that in his excellent book: "Elephant Hunters", Tony Sanchez-Arino (with my apologies, my keyboard in monolingual and will not let me put the altilde over the n in Arino but it's pronounced "Areenyo" not Areeno") writes content something about like the following: There are written records from Rigby indicating that Bell, during his prosperous ivory hunting career, ordered not one but two .416 caliber rifles and a thousand rounds for each of 410 grain FMJ ammunition. To that I say; Hmmmm. Trivia Time: (Speaking of the .318 WR): For an anti-hunting / anti-gun / politically floppy wristed Hollywood type, Robert Redford allowed some proper hardware into his movie "Out of Africa". In the scene where Meryl Streep crumples a charging lioness with her Mauser ... if she was not shooting a .318 WR, then my name is Rumplestilskin. I talk too much so cheerio for now, Velo Dog.
thanks for the info guys! this is the first ive heard of the 318 (WR or AE?), I will have to look it up. but sorry both the 318 and the 338 would count as small bores so they aren't going to be the topic of this article. I believe these days medium bore starts at .35" and ive decided id like to stick with cartridges suitable for all DG which the 9.3mm's are not. plus id like to stick with cartridges that are actually legal to use on DG these days. as for the 375 weatherby, I need to do a bit of research into weatherby's .375" diameter cartridges. I know of the 375 and the 378 but im not familiar with the history of either. this could make for some fun research. I did get a chance to fire a rifle in 378 weatherby once and talk about a powerful rifle! -matt
Like my 400H&H pushes a .411 dia 400gr bullet at 2400fps with less pressure than a 416 REM a 300gr bullet at 2700fps .. You should check out Pierre van der Walt"s book African Dangerous Game Cartridges
Really? According to whom? Not sure I understand the difference between a 9.3 250 gr bullet from a 63 0r 74R and a .33 cal .318 WR or .338-06 250 gr. But I digress.
if they are legal to hunt thick skinned DG with in all African countries (that allow hunting) then i will include them. but i dont intend to include cartridges that are not legal to use. never heard of the 400 H&H, but it sounds like i need to fire up google and do some searching. thank you -matt
Hello Enysse, It is a fairly new cartridge. I predict it will not become popular due to others already quite well established (Pre-WW-I) in that same general ballistic range. Also, the relatively recent .416 Remington is quite similar in concept and that one is not a huge seller compared to the Rigby. The .400 appears to be a custom build option only, at this point. Maybe that will change and some outfit like Ruger or CZ could offer it (but I doubt it for the first reason). Besides, Ruger likes to save steel (AKA: money) by making their DG repeaters on .30-06 length actions these days. It's a shame that one, because it is a fine cartridge as far as I have read about it. Incidentally, H&H also announced another DG cartridge for repeaters about the same time as they did their .400, called "the .465 H&H Belted Rimless Magnum" (or something like that.) This is not to be confused with the .500/.465 H&H NE Flanged for doubles. I do not remember for certain but, it seems like the .465 Belted is on a larger diameter case, sort of like the larger Weatherby head/belt size cartridges. I'm rambling again. Out, Velo Dog.
Thanks, I did not do the research on it. Sounds like some of the better known cartridges will do. I'm still trying to wrap head around the idea of why the .404 Jeffrey is not more available. And until the .416 Rem was invented, the .416 Rigby was essentially dead and not being used much. I guess some cartridges get new lives and while others go dormant.
Hi again Enysse, Yup, some of that popularity trend stuff is mumbo-jumbo that I do not understand. My best guess on the .404 though, is that until sort of recently, there were no standard SAAMI specs. Confusion on exactly what dimensions the chamber reamers, reloading dies and live ammunition should be made to, must be very frustrating for Gunsmiths and manufacturers. Ruger originally planned to chamber their excellent but no longer made Model 77 Magnum in .404 Jeffery but for some reason (no SAAMI specs?) did not follow through with it. They did market a small run of the #1 single shot in .404 but I do not know why it was not anything more than a very small run and I have never known anyone who tried one. Now that there are standard specs for it, CZ offers it in their so called "Custom Shop" rifles at around $3,000.+ some odd hundred dollars. If they'd stop that nonsense and just offer it in their regular 550 magnum for about the same price as their .375s and .458s, many hunters and rifle nuts would have bought one by now. Sadly, I once caved in and bought one in .500 Jeffery but, it will not feed plus, the chamber is too short for factory Kynoch live ammunition (!) CZ's so called Custom Gunsmith gave me the royal runaround when I called him a couple times so, I decided to not let him or any other Bozo The Clown types at CZ touch it again (he / they had chance plenty enough when they built it and supposedly inspected it prior to letting it out the door in the first place). A local proper Gunsmith is fixing it here in Anchorage. He already fixed a CZ "Custom Shop" rifle in .505 Gibbs with the exact same problem plus, he has done simply perfect work on other rifles for me so, all things will be made right, even if I did have to fit the bill. Oh well, it has saved me money in the long run because, I was formerly planning to save up and eventually over the next few years, to buy three more from their so called "Custom Shop" (.300 H&H, .404 Jeffery and .425 Westley Richards). At well over 3K each, I am saving almost 10K total because I would not wipe my you-know-what with one now. I'm out on one of my soapbox tangents again....dang. Parting Shot: Get yerself a .404, you will not be sorry. It is one of the world's greatest DG cartridges. I have fired one and at that point, made a sober oath to get one when the right deal comes along. Blah, blah, blah. Cheers, Velo Dog.
Huge mistake on CZ's part for not making the .404 Jeffrey on the regular 550 platform. I bought my 375 H&H for less than $750 when it first came out. I love that gun. CZ always seems to looking for ways to sell more guns.
Probably the best reason the 400H&H has not taken off is there are no commercial loadings for it. In fact one cannot find any Saami specs for it either. The owners of Gulf Breeze Fire Arms in Florida a Dakota dealer has sold quite a few 400H&H rifles and were trying very hard to get Barnes to come up with loaded ammunition, unfortunately Barnes gave up on the project. For now there are a few custom reloaders out there Superior being one that will load for you. Being that there is no pressure data the cartridge is basically a wildcat, proper head stamped brass is available or you can make it from 375 brass and there is enough .411 dia projectiles out there to make the gun interesting. I rebarreled a 375 H&H for my 400 other than putting irons on it the rest was easy. Why the 400 when there are plenty of 416 cartridges to choose from? Well why not, the gun shoots softer then the Remington and is in a shorter action that the Rigby, gives everything you need from a 40 cal gun 400gr bullet 2400fps 5000lbs of energy. Good luck with your article lets us know where we can read it..

My research focuses on plant and ecosystem responses to global change, including rising atmospheric carbon dioxide, altered climatic drivers such as temperature and precipitation, and changes in land use and community composition. The future trajectory of the North American carbon sink remains highly uncertain as mixed deciduous forests of the U.S. Midwest and east transition from early to mid and late successional communities. Following heavy disturbance in the 19th and early 20th centuries, dominant early successional canopy species are reaching maturity and beginning to senesce, giving way to a canopy that is more species diverse and structurally heterogeneous. Large-scale mortality is also forcing redistribution of carbon and nitrogen, with the consequences for forest carbon cycling processes largely unknown. Our research combines above-canopy eddy covariance flux measurements, ground-based near surface remote sensing, chemical analysis of canopy foliage, and biometric carbon storage accounting methods to evaluate the effects of changing canopy structural and biological complexity on forest carbon storage potential. We have identified mechanisms supporting sustained high carbon storage in aging and old growth mixed deciduous forests in the upper Great Lakes region. Our results contribute to continental and global scale modeling efforts to improve the quantitative certainty of predictions of future terrestrial carbon storage, and to advance the formulation of forest management prescriptions for enhancing carbon sequestration in older forests.

Tareq Salahi company owes $34,000 to limo service
- Staff Washington Business Journal
A company founded by Tareq Salahi, the White House party crasher and Virginia gubernatorial hopeful, owes RMA Worldwide Chauffeured Transportation $34,000, the company claims, according to The Washington Post.
The owner of RMA Worldwide Chauffeured Transportation claims Blue Ridge Wine Way Tours owes the money for unpaid limo bills. Salahi says he is not involved in Blue Ridge's operations and that this isn't his problem.

This is a discussion on One of the best Active Shooter training/Tip vids I've seen. within the Defensive Carry & Tactical Training forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; ...
I would agree. Very good video! I personally like that they are preaching to get out if at all possible and not to just sit and hide.
Too bad none of the workers are armed.
My rifle and pistol are tools, I am the weapon.
Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo.
- H. G. Wells -
Funny they didn't mention any improvised weapons like the fire extinguishers or letter openers or barricading the doors. The people in the training room just tipped one table over to hide behind and were dependent on the 2 people at the door to take out the shooter. There were 3 tables available to stack against the door.
Lets hope that's the day, good old jim the janitor of 30 year for gets to take his handgun out of him make shift gun/range bag on his last day of work before retiring. LOL
Good vid. Seems like a good presentation of what could actually happen. Bottom line is recognize the threat early and get out. I tried to mentally plan what I would do if this happened in my workplace.

Never be ashamed of a scar. It simply means, that you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you......
It's good in that it highlights some of the things we weren't aware of - that people will freeze and some people may get caught behind trying to get them to leave, and that others will run back in, all in a non-logical panic.
You need to include in your 'plan' the need to abandon people who won't flee responsibly after a couple attempts.

mariana Brazil Show all reviews | Overrated 06th July, 2013 (Last Edited: 14th February, 2014) |
LadyDragonFire Show all reviews | When I applied this fragrance I initially thought it reminded me mostly of Fantasy by Britney Spears or Hanae Mori by Hanae Mori. It can definitely be compared to both of those perfumes. It's definitely a fruity-floral-gourmand with lots of sweet vanilla in the base. But after wearing it for at least half an hour I've realized that it's probably a lot more accurate to compare it to the Coconut Lime Verbena fragrance from Bath and Body Works. It's not exactly the same, but to me Hot by Ralph Lauren and the Coconut Lime Verbena EDT smell awfully similar. It's not a bad fragrance, but I always found that I got tired of smelling the lime in the Bath and Body Works fragrance pretty fast, so I'm pretty sure I would get sick and tired of the lime and mandarin orange in Ralph Lauren's Hot too. I have a cold today, but I'm sure this fragrance is stronger than what I'm actually smelling, so I'm just neutral on it and I probably won't buy a whole bottle of this. 02nd October, 2011 |
AppleNerd Ireland Show all reviews | Bought this for my girlfriend to replace her bottle of Fancy with something with a little more quality. The fruits all mesh into the vanilla and the cinnamon is slightly noticeable and the musk is very heavy, being the biggest note, but not overwhelming. A rather... tempting fragrance with a name that fits ;) 24th July, 2011 |
blood-orange Australia Show all reviews | So sugary, so sweet, yet surprisingly lovely, and dare I say addictive. 05th June, 2011 |
beacheemom United States Show all reviews | I honestly am not proud to say I like Ralph Lauren Hot, only because I feel too old to like it the way I do. This is an odd one to me- can't quite place my finger on it. Imagine a german chocolate cake waiting to be eaten by someone drenched in suntan oil with the aroma of fresh tropical flowers floating in the air. I know it's weird to describe it like that, but you get my point. all the while though, all I smell is deliciousness. Yum. Wished it lasted longer. 10th July, 2010 |
DULLAH Turkey Show all reviews | Out of all the feminine mainstream/designer gourmand scents, this is easily the best one. 16th February, 2010 |

Allen Says Count Will Go All Night. And Virginia, County By County
| Wed Nov. 8, 2006 12:36 AM EST
Allen says "stay strong for freedom and representational democracy." Which means he's trailing, but wanted to get some coverage before it gets too late.
CNN has the county by county breakdown. In Dem-leaning or swing counties like Arlington and Fairfax in the first case, and Loudon in the latter)a fair number of votes (say 7-10%) have yet to be counted.

Thank you :)
Mom to:
Three big girls (10) + (almost 9!);
One little boy (6) and a full on toddler (8/12) born with TAPVR (repaired at 6 days old).
I knew of this offer because the Consciously Parenting project is very near and dear to my heart This book is SO good.
In general though, you can find free kindle books easily on the net and facebook. There are many forums dedicated to free and cheap kindle books. I follow several on facebook - including "Free Books for Kindle" and "Pixel of Ink." You just have to weed through the crap. ;)
Bump. Offer is good until 3 am EST.

Doesn't sound like the part that hit him was the same part that caused the foot wide crater - otherwise there would have been a foot-wide crater that included his hand. More likely that he got hit by a grain that was split off and traveling with the main bit. And also likely that the main bit was bigger than a pea.
