Anyone else have some????
I haven't needed parts yet but thanks for posting resources. Hope others will too along the way. Would be especially interested in hearing reviews to go with the listing if they've dealt with them.
Yeah this thread has been way too quiet!
The only parts I've changed out on my HKs has been the mag release for the larger version---nothing else needed...
I am told my USPf 45 will need magazine springs sooner rather than later, but so far no issues. My first HK was a USPf in 9mm back in early 1994---this pistol has never jammed in all this time (!)---I bought it because "Hi-Cap" pistols were about to be banned and my only other Hi-Cap pistol I owned at the time was my 9mm Hi Power (which I still have). I wanted a modern DA/SA pistol with 15 rounds on board. I bought many magazines at this time thinking I would pick-up another USPf 9mm (I did) and have two modern guns. I don't think I've field-stripped the first gun more than a few times this entire time (19 years)---did clean some gunk out from under extractor (spray and brush) about five years ago when case ejection became "lazy." A quick wipe-down with BreakFree CLP every so often and this pistol still looks to be in outstanding condition. You do pay more for HKs, but you only live once (I am pretty sure), so get the good stuff! These two USPfs are the primary house guns along with a 4" Security Six Ruger---for easy carry, I long ago switched to the smaller HK 9mm P2000 DA/SA---small package, just as effective...
I wanted to contribute, but I doubt this will help. Frankonia.de. They sell mags and the store repairs anything I need for my HK. Which I doubt they will have to. The gun is perfect. Springs are cheap, and suppose to be replaced. I guess like car oil. But, once again, the springs are awesome too. Gun companies, like car companies, recommend an "oil change" after so many "miles". Maybe it is best to go with the recommendations? HK rules!!!
I'm gonna stop you right there, you just said an AR-15 is a high-powered rifle. It is obvious you don't know anything about guns and I shall ignore anything you say from this point on.
"I am easily satisfied with the very best." -Winston Churchill

The Geo Tracker radiator assists in cooling the engine chamber by dispersing heat in the cooling fluid that is diffused throughout the engine block to regulate the beyond-acceptable temperatures. The automotive engine could operate well at a safe temperature, thanks to the Geo Tracker radiator. Because you don't like the car engine parts and accessories of your automobile to get boiling-hot and sooner or later wear out one at a time, be sure that this part is not dirt-filled and isn't leaking.
The damaged radiator of your Geo Tracker can put you in serious trouble. When the automotive engine surpasses the ideal temperature range, this could malfunction and possibly cease working, demanding engine reconstruction that is pricey. Whenever you repair the damaged radiator of your Geo Tracker as soon as possible, you wouldn't have to face more serious engine problems, -that way, you might save money on costly car service. Don't allow your cooling system to fail and result in overheating troubles due to a faulty Geo Tracker radiator-swap it with a brand-new component to guarantee a more dependable performance.
Through our cheaper prices, you're going to score huge savings once you buy a new Geo Tracker radiator only here at our shop. Replacement, Dayco, and Custom Fit are a few of the well-known brands that you can choose from our listing.

Military Veteran Father And Son Receive Special Father's Day Surprise At Michigan International Speedway
LISLE, Ill., June 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Joel Correll, a United States Marine Corps veteran, and his 15-year son, Jarrett, who lives with cystic fibrosis, received a Father's Day surprise of a lifetime today at Michigan International Speedway. Joel and Jarrett Correll, along with Jarrett's mother, were on a VIP tour of the track – or at least that's what they thought – when Aric Almirola, "The King" Richard Petty and representatives from Operation Homefront and Victory Junction surprised the family with an experience they will not soon forget.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130615/NY32750 )
As part of the "tour," the family was brought to the facility's media center to listen to a press conference involving Almirola and NASCAR Hall of Famer, Petty. In the middle of the press conference, Almirola called the family to the front. The driver of the famed No. 43 announced that Eckrich, part of the John Morrell Food Group, a subsidiary of Smithfield Foods, would be providing Jarrett with a week at Victory Junction, a camp founded by the Petty family that hosts children with chronic medical conditions or serious illnesses.
But, the surprises weren't over yet. "The King" then offered Joel and his son Eckrich crew uniforms and asked them to be a part of the race team on Sunday as special guests of the team, Eckrich and Operation Homefront. Petty and Almirola also informed Joel and Jarrett that they would have their names on the No. 43 Eckrich Ford on Sunday to honor them and help celebrate Father's Day.
This Father's Day surprise was a part of "Operation Inspiration," a campaign launched by Eckrich and Operation Homefront earlier this year to help honor, thank and support the military families who inspire their fellow Americans. "This is a big surprise for us, something we didn't expect," said Jarrett after the surprise. "I love going to camp, it's a place where I can feel like myself. I never expected anyone to honor us like this, but it's pretty cool. This will be a great Father's Day." "I was just nervous to be called up front," quipped father Joel. "But, it means a lot to military families to be thought of. Not just our family, but of the families that have come before us and the ones serving now. It's not something you expect, but it's something we won't forget."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Romney Rules!
It's almost enough to make one believe in God. In the very city where Obama first announced his outreach to Muslims, Muslims, from heads of government to street urchins, are basically saying, "no thanks." And to have the total collapse of the Obama policy occur throughout the region within days of the day when Americans will be choosing a new leader is absolutely providential.
The Obama policy collapse is manifest most dramatically in Libya, where the destruction of American property is capped with the taking of American lives on sovereign territory. I know that Obama is sort of hard to find these days with far flung and unpostponeable fundraisers filling his dance card, surely someone could have told him that 9/11 is sort of an important date and probably not one when it would be a good idea to have the American ambassador to Libya travel to a consulate where security was scanty at best. Had he been aware of the facts, he would probably have answered, "But I smooth-talked them; how could they fail to be enchanted by my rhetoric?"
Would that the protective barriers at that consulate been as strong as those raised by the mainstream media to protect their precious president. Since Obama's misconceptions and negligence are clearly indefensible, distraction is the only viable stratagem. The distractions are Romney and a video.
If Hillary Clinton is indeed giving up her post as Secretary of State, she should consider a career as an entertainment publicist. Her solemn denouncements of the video at issue have done more to bring attention to it than the creators could have ever hoped. The passion of her excoriation has apparently laid a foundation for a governmental investigation of the work's creators.
If that investigation proceeds, the terrorists will have won. If the United States presumes to pressure those exercising freedom of speech, it's all over. I would think that liberals would understand the importance of this, but most are so totally besotted by Obama that their vision is fatally flawed.
In this miasma of negligence, confusion and presidential hubris, Romney clarifies the difference between American and Muslim values with the simple statement that religious sensitivity is no excuse for violence.
The hypocrisy of the Muslim position is so extreme as to be laughable but for the Muslim penchant for violence. The idea that the Muslim prophet cannot be ridiculed, that the Muslim faith cannot be abandoned, and/or that women cannot express themselves as freely as men, all without fatal consequences is simply barbaric and insane. But of course, selected sand monkeys are perfectly entitled to defame the American flag, which in a very real sense is a symbol of America's dominant religion—love of country and the principles it holds sacred. But if Hillary characterizes Islam as a "great religion" I suppose we'll just have to accept that assessment.
Romney's prompt identification of the idiocy of the Obama administration's defensive maneuvers to the collapse of his international policies expresses the common sense reaction of clear thinking Americans. When the media tires of its increasingly transparent efforts to obscure that basic truth, the U.S., with a breath of fresh presidential air, will be well on its way to political, social, economic, and, most important, philosophical recovery.
© 2012 Gordon Osmond
Would it be too much to ask our president to make it clear to Islam that under OUR religion, there is a big diff' between words, unfeeling or not, and sticks and stones?

BUSINESS Q&A: Positive reinforcement ignores dog bad behavior, rewards good
SAN ANGELO, Texas - What: Positive-reinforcement pet training.
When: By appointment.
More info: 325-374-9879 or facebook.com/clickhappens.
The days of yelling, swatting and rubbing the family pet's nose in his urine or feces are on their way out, and positive reinforcement trainers such as Sherryl Wilson — a graduate of the Karen Pryor Academy for Animal Training & Behavior — are ushering in a progressive method of modifying unwanted behavior.
Wilson, of San Angelo, tired of her work as a dog groomer but wanted to continue working with animals. Two years ago, she started Click Happens, so named for her use of a small training device that makes a clicking sound with the press of a button, which helps the pet associate with receiving a treat.
"I took a class from a lady in Boerne, and she was using a clicker, and I was intrigued by how quickly it worked so I started researching it, and that's how I found Karen Pryor," Wilson said. "I have a B.A. in psychology, I knew (of famed psychologist) B.F. Skinner, and it impressed me, so I started using it on my dogs and was astounded how fast it worked. I taught my dog a lot of tricks with the Karen Pryor Academy, and to this day I can bring something out we haven't worked on in two years and my dog still remembers what to do, so it stays with them."
To Wilson's knowledge, she is the only local animal trainer who uses a clicker and positive reinforcement to train her clients' pets, but the movement is quickly spreading, she said.
"It started out with dolphins in Hawaii, and it quickly spread to zoos," Wilson said. "Instead of forcing the wild animals into a squeeze chute for shots, they teach them to sit by the gate and hold their arm out. It's catching on everywhere. Even the chain stores are using it now. It surprises me how many people have read Karen Pryor's 'Don't Shoot the Dog.' Even my mailman has read 'Don't Shoot the Dog,' and I didn't give it to him. It's gotten to be a huge movement, and it's slowly taking the place of the old style."
The old-school method of animal behavior modification included punishing pets for their bad behavior, while positive reinforcement — as the name implies — ignores the animal's unwanted behavior and utilizes praise and treats when the pet does what the owner wants it to do.
"You can train your dog to do anything that dog is physically capable of doing using this, and the key to positive-reinforcement training is to ask them to do what you want them to do instead of correcting what you don't want them to do," Wilson said. "You teach incompatible behavior. If a dog jumps on you, you teach it to sit. It gets rewarded for sitting, and it doesn't get rewarded for the jumping up because it doesn't get attention. Dogs live for attention; it's what they crave as much as food."
Clients and trainers also see quicker results with positive-reinforcement training versus correction, Wilson said, so busy pet owners only have to invest a few minutes a day working with their pet. That, she added, leaves the pet owner more time to enjoy their dog's company.
"I would like for other people to experience the relationship I have with my own dogs, because for those of us who are big animal lovers it's a sheer joy, and when you can cut out a lot of the frustration, it makes you love them that much more," she said.
Standard-Times: You mentioned that dogs have been taught to drive using this type of training.
Yes, and you can see it on the Internet. A trainer in Australia decided to help out a local animal shelter so he picked out three dogs from the shelter, and they modified a car, and in three months he taught two of the dogs to successfully get in the car, turn the car on, put the car in gear, drive the car, and turn the car without the trainer being in the car. And they did it all on cue.
How successful has positive-reinforcement training been for you personally?
I have yet to meet a client who was not happy. Everyone who has hired me has got what they wanted out of it. Some people wanted to take it as far as they could go with it and teach tricks and constantly learn new things, and others just wanted to teach their dog basic manners.
I think the biggest misconception about clicker training is that people think they're going to have to carry around clickers and treats for the rest of their lives, and it turns them off. Our culture is also based more on correction, so it is more natural to teach the old style of correcting behavior, like saying no and pushing a dog's back end down to teach it to sit.
Is this type of training easy to implement with every dog?
The hardest to work with in the beginning is a timid dog. They take a little bit longer, but this training builds a dog's confidence because they start to understand what it is you're after.
This training is not an end-all, be-all cure-all. There are some dogs that are so terrified that they become aggressive, and there are some that cannot be brought back; you can never fully trust that dog with the public. It does happen when we come across that dog where there's nothing you can do, their brain chemistry has been altered to the point where there is no safe place for them. I have not tried to train one, but I have seen dogs I knew by watching them that my training would not get them back.
What are your clients' biggest complaints with their dogs?
Jumping, potty training and barking.
What do you think is the reason for most dog misbehaviors?
It's miscommunication. They don't understand what it is we want. And we can see it with this training when that light bulb goes on and they get it. You can see it in their eyes; it's like, "Oh, that's what you want. That's so simple. I can do that all day long.' And they do. It's simply miscommunication, and we get frustrated because we don't know how to show them what to do.
What's the cost of your sessions?
Typically for six weeks (one hour once a week), it's $125, and I'll go right to your home.
What are your goals with the business?
I would love to do this all the time. I would love to make a living out of it. I would love for everybody in this town to have the opportunity to have a better-behaved dog, or cat, or horse or whatever pet they feel an affinity to. I wish that everybody in this town could know what I know. I would love for San Angelo to be a focal point (for positive-reinforcement training).

Rangers Win Game 5 Thanks to Two-Run Double by Mike Napoli, Lead Series 3-2
POSTED: Monday, October 24, 2011 - 9:45pm
UPDATED: Monday, October 24, 2011 - 9:47pm
The Texas Rangers are one win away from history, one win away from their first ever World Series Title. Adrian Beltre belted a solo home run to tie the game at 2, then Mike Napoli hit a two-run double for a 4-2 lead. Neftali Feliz came on and closed it out, getting an electrifying strike out, throw out in the 9th.
Mike Napoli said after the game, "I was just trying to get something to the outfield, get a sac fly, get that run across, but i got a pitch i can handle over the plate and put it in the gap." Adrian Beltre know it will be a tough road for their first title. "It's not going to be easy, we know that, they have a good ballclub, but it's better to go there and try to win one game than win two games, so hoepfully we can get it done, the weather will be a factor, but we have a good ballclub and we believe we can do it."
Game 6 is Wednesday at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, 6:05pm start. Rangers' Colby Lewis is likely to face Cardinals lefty Jaime Garcia. The weather forecast in St. Louis is daunting, calling for rain and temperatures around 50.

Football in New Zealand
Football is the most popular sport in the 5 - 17 age group in New Zealand. However, the media (television, radio, newspapers) concentrate on the more traditional New Zealand pastimes of rugby union and cricket. In 1982, the national team qualified for the FIFA World Cup in Spain, and, having won the continental championship, represented Oceania at the FIFA Confederations Cup in 1999 (Mexico) and 2003 (France). The U-17 team qualified for the FIFA U-17 World Championship in 1997 (Egypt) and automatically as hosts in 1999. However, New Zealand has not produced many international stars. The name of just one player has any true meaning, especially in Europe: Wynton Rufer. He played for many years in Switzerland and Germany, before returning to New Zealand to coach the Football Kings in Auckland and help develop football in his home country. Today, Rufer has a range of varied duties, including membership of the FIFA Football Committee.
The second Goal project
New Zealand Football wishes to launch a development programme involving the construction of regional technical centres in several phases over a number of years. To this end, on 1 December 2009 the Goal Bureau approved a project to fund the construction of an artificial turf pitch in Christchurch on the South Island. It is expected that the possibility of organising training and competitions in strategic areas will develop football practice in the southern regions of the country. Changing rooms and floodlighting will be added at a later stage.

I am going to use one single battery for motor and fpv, so I'll use a "Sander style" LC (right?) filter.. !
my questions: 1000uF or 470uF - what is the best? (maybe it depends on my setup?!) Can I buy any ferrite ring? - a cheap one will work just fine? - will a big ring filter more noice? |

Changing antenna lengths does not always improve performance. This is especially true with 2.4GHz. the best way to figure out the optimal antenna length is to attach a wire about twice as long as your antenna to the end of the antenna and do a range test, trim, and range test again. Stop trimming when you don't get any farther away on the range test.

could you share some more details how to approach making this camera enclosure? Do you need some kind of form/ press for this material to make nice little box? Do you need to cut the corners and fold them or it just forms around some square. Never worked with this material so any info would help probably not only me. Thank you |
Jan 06, 2011, 06:48 AM | |
I simply put the cut out plastic part on a vise and use a heat gun until the plastic bends and gets soft. After that I use something flat, like a metal ruler, and push along the edge so the corner gets as small bend radius as possible until the plastic cools and hardens. This takes seconds so you have to be quick, but if you're not happy with the results you just heat it up again and redo the process.
You can also use a mold/plug and shape KYDEX in the oven (this is how knife/gun holsters are usually made) but I find this method simpler and quicker. I use CA glue which is the only glue I've found to really work on KYDEX. It's a "fat" plastic so epoxy and heat-glue doesn't work. I sand the bonding surfaces and make sure they are nice and smooth without any gaps and press for a few seconds after CA is applied. This is usually enough for a good bond. None of my KYDEX enclosures have opened up unless I open them myself using a knife or equivalent. |

"Another solution is a filter. You can filter the signal by passing it through a recorder such as the AIPtek MPVR. You can also pass it through a coaxial to RCA converter box. These generate an artificial sync signal that keeps the monitor going through static."
Can you shows a setup for coaxial to RCA converter box |

Can you also share some experience about camera - transmitter interference.
I suspect my system is subject to camera - transmitter interference result in short range. 900mhz, 500mw, stock antenna on Tx, Patch on Rx, only about 100 meter+. I ordered the meganet ring from DPCAV on route, this is the only thing I don't have according to the "white paper for EMI/RFI noise" or the "how to be successful" Getting so down cannot get "crispy clear signal 1km up" as many people easily get. |

This brush has become my absolute favourite brush!
I used to have the MAC #187 Stippling Brush but after having used it for years I decided to replace it and came across the Stippling Brush by Real Techniques in Boots. Since I had never heard of the brand or Samantha Chapman before I went back home and checked online and saw a lot of reviews praising the brushes by her so I decided to buy it. After having used it for a while I saw that a lot of beauty gurus on Youtube were using the Expert Face Brush and that's how I ended up buying this brush. I didn't need it but I wanted it.
I use this brush to apply my liquid foundation, which is currently the Revlon Colorstay. Since I don't use any powder on my face I can't really give my opinion on that. However it does an excellent job for aplying the foundation evenly on my face. The bristles are dense and super soft and doesn't irritate your skin. This brush is hands down the best foundation brush I have ever tried!
I highly recommend this product! I find that it is even better than any MAC foundation/stippling brush and it's really affordable On top of that the bristles are synthetic so it's Vegetarian/Vegan friendly.

Was really excited to try out this brush, but I am disappointed and will stick with the Coastal Scents Bionic Flattop Buffer. Cons -
Ended up using more product than usual because of the size of the brush. Of all the brushes I have tried, the flat top buffer seems to work for me, it gives me the airbrushed effect that I am looking for without having to use a ton of product.

My first RT brush and i wanted to try it because i think its the most popular brush out all of them. Honestly i didn't like it at all. Bristles are not dense enough and i noticed i have to use twice more foundation because most of it stays on the brush. I heard that its similar to Sigma F82 well its not true, f82 is way better. I wanted to return it but started using it for my chanel bronze universel and seems that it does a better job than with foundation.

I absolutely love this brush. Its soft and dense, gives me a great finish with my foundation, and is not too expensive (spent about 9 pounds in boots) However, it does take some washing but the quality does not reduce after washes. I would repurchase and am looking to try some more real techniques. So happy for Sam and her success!

I bought this brush last week, along with the stippling brush as Boots currently have an offer across the make up buy one, get one half price, so I decided to pick these up.
Before I purchased the expert face brush I was switching between the MAC 190, MAC 187 and Ruby & Millie Foundation brush. Out of all those the MAC 187 was my favourite.
Since I got the expert face brush, its all I've used, its my favourite foundation brush now. My foundation looks flawless with it and it gives me great coverage without looking heavy or cakey. It blends my foundation extremely well and there's never any streaks or anything.
I for €13 this brush is an absolute bargain, especially on the buy one get one half price. I'm actually going to pick up another one to have as a back up.
Age: 36-43

I'm not quite sure why this brush is getting so much love, because personally I find it a bit too scratchy!
I also own the Buffering Brush, and I like it much more, it feels softer.
The end result after using the Expert Face Brush is ok , but not airbrushed or anything... Not bad, not great. Nothing to write home about.
The one thing I like about all the RT brushes is that they dry fast, so if I wash them at night, by morning they are ready to use, as opposed to my other brushes that can take up to 2 days.

Love this brush so much! I use it for my dream matte mouse foundation and it works like a dream! My younger sister (who's 11) commented on how well blended everything seemed to be on my face! This is my first Real Techniques brush, and I will defiantly be investing in the whole collection of brushes available to buy! All I need now is a bigger make-up bag!

This brush is way better than any of the flat brushes for foundation! It makes foundation look flawless and the actual brush is great quality. You must buy this!! :)

What a great, affordable brush! You can use it for foundation application or even blush. I'm not big on using brushes to apply my foundation (usually like fingers or sponges), but this is wonderful. The only reason I didn't give this a five is because mine had a few long hairs that I had to trim when I first got it. Other than that this brush has been fabulous! This is my second Real Techniques brush and I am HIGHLY impressed with them. I will definitely be adding more to my ever growing collection of makeup brushes. The performance of these brushes is up there with MAC. I love that they are functional, while still be slightly innovative with brush designs. Worth checking out! :)
Update: I changed the rating from a 4 to a 5. I can't say anything bad about this brush. It is the best face brush I have ever used to apply foundation. I pretty much am gonna buy one or two more of it. That is how impressed I am. What a great brush and very affordable!

I was so surprised when I bought this brush. I had been using my fingers for a long time and I knew the results of my foundation could have been better. Just got the brush today, tried it and my face hasn't looked that flawless ever, even with a light foundation! It's a must buy!

Door Time: 8:00 PM
Show Time: 9:00 PM
Ages: 21 & Over
Ticket Price: $15
Artists: Cornmeal w/Henhouse Prowlers
While playing a blend of high profile venues, jam-band and bluegrass festivals to thousands nationally, Cornmeal has been a main stage act at some of the most renowned festivals in the country. These festivals include Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Magnolia Fest, Wakarusa Music Festival, and Summer Camp Music Festival as well as having performed on multiple stages at Bonnaroo, All Good Music Festival, High Sierra Music Festival, 10K Lakes, and many others.
Cornmeal has never been a band to shy away from reinvention and after over a decade, 2013 proves to be just that as the band sets out with a newly reformed lineup, a fresh energetic sound and heads back into the studio to finish their long awaited first studio album after almost 6 years. A nationally recognized live music institution, Cornmeal is heavily influenced by American roots and folk music and seamlessly blends lightning fast tempos and impeccable harmonies into an unrivaled live performance that continues to expand upon the five-piece acoustic-electric groups' vast musical repertoire. While steeped in the tradition of the past, Cornmeal continues to forge a path all their own, pushing the boundaries of bluegrass, Americana and folk for a whole new generation of music lovers. With a growing fan base and ever-evolving sound, Cornmeal challenges the recipe of bluegrass and live performance.
HENHOUSE PROWLERS have gained a reputation for their highly original, tradition-inspired bluegrass built on a strong foundation of intricate harmonies and electrifying stage energy. Henhouse Prowlers use traditional bluegrass as a base, and make it their own by providing a show that's danceable through- out with uptempo drive and bouncing mid-tempo grooves, all while covering contemporary topics in a largely original reper- toire. Their reverence for the forefathers of bluegrass is palpable as they push the music forward on their own path.

Chaz Salvatore Bono[1] (born Chastity Sun Bono; March 4, 1969) is an American transgender advocate, writer, and musician. He is the only child of American entertainers Sonny and Cher, though each had children from other relationships.[2][3] He is a transgender man.
In 1995, after several years of being outed as lesbian by the tabloid press, Bono publicly self-identified as such in a cover story in a leading American gay monthly magazine, The Advocate, eventually going on to discuss the process of coming out to oneself and to others in two books. Family Outing: A Guide to the Coming Out Process for Gays, Lesbians, and Their Families (1998) includes his coming out account. The memoir The End of Innocence (2003) discusses his outing, music career, and partner Joan's death from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.[4]
Between 2008 and 2010, Bono underwent female-to-male gender transition. A two-part Entertainment Tonight feature in June 2009 explained that his transition had started a year before.[5] In May 2010, he legally changed his gender and name.[6] A documentary on Bono's experience, Becoming Chaz, was screened at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and later made its television debut on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.[7]
Contents |
Bono is the only child of Cher and Sonny Bono of the pop duo Sonny & Cher, stars of a TV variety show on which the young child often appeared. Bono was named Chastity Sun Bono after the film Chastity, which was produced by Sonny and in which Cher (in her first feature film) played a bisexual woman.[8]
Bono came out to both parents as lesbian at age 18. In Family Outing, Bono wrote that, "as a child, I always felt there was something different about me. I'd look at other girls my age and feel perplexed by their obvious interest in the latest fashion, which boy in class was the cutest, and who looked the most like cover girl Christie Brinkley. When I was 13, I finally found a name for exactly how I was different. I realized I was gay."[9]
Bono began a short music career with the band Ceremony,[4] which released one album, Hang Out Your Poetry, in 1993. The band featured Bono on vocals, acoustic guitar, and percussion. Other members were Steve March Tormé (backup vocals), Heidi Shink a.k.a. Chance, Pete McRae, Steve Bauman, Louis Ruiz, and Bryn Mathieu. All but one of the band's songs were written or co-written by Bono, Shink, and Mark Hudson. They used no synthesizers or digital effects on the album; Shink noted, "We turned our back on technology. [ ... ] It's reminiscent of the 60s, but more a tip of the hat than emulating it. We took the music we love and rejuvenated it, made it 90's."[10]
The song "Could've Been Love" was released as a single from the album. The album's other tracks are "Goodbye Sunshine", "Steal Your Heart", "Day by Day", "Ready for Love", "Ready for Love (Refrain)", "Hang Out Your Poetry", "Turn It Over", "Trust", "2 of 1", "First Day of My Life", "Breathless", "Living in a Paradise", and "Livin' It Up". Sonny and Cher recorded backing vocals (uncredited) for the last song.
In April 1995, Bono came out as lesbian in an interview with The Advocate, a national gay and lesbian magazine.[11] The 1998 book Family Outing detailed how Bono's coming out "catapulted me into a political role that has transformed my life, providing me with affirmation as a lesbian, as a woman, and as an individual."[12] In the same book, Bono reported that Cher, who was both a gay icon and ally to LGBT communities, was quite uncomfortable with the news at first, and "went ballistic"[13] before coming to terms with it: "By August 1996, one year after I came out publicly, my mother had progressed so far that she agreed to 'come out' herself on the cover of The Advocate as the proud mother of a lesbian daughter."[12] Cher has since become an outspoken LGBT rights activist.
Bono's paternal relationship became strained after Sonny became a Republican Congressman from California. The differences in their political views separated them, and the two had not spoken for more than a year at the time of Sonny's fatal skiing accident in January 1998.[11]
Bono worked as a writer at large for The Advocate.[4] As a social activist, Bono became a spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign, promoted National Coming Out Day, campaigned for the reelection of Bill Clinton for US President, campaigned against the Defense of Marriage Act, and served as Entertainment Media Director for the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).[4] Bono was a team captain for Celebrity Fit Club 3 (2006) and was supported by girlfriend Jennifer Elia, who orchestrated exercise and training sessions.[5][14]
In mid-2008, Bono began undergoing a physical and social gender transition from female to male. This was confirmed in June 2009 by his publicist,[5] who identified Bono's preferred name as Chaz Bono and said, "It is Chaz's hope that his choice to transition will open the hearts and minds of the public regarding this issue, just as his coming out did."[15] GLAAD and the Empowering Spirits Foundation were quick to offer praise and support for the announcement.[16] Bono's legal transition was completed on May 8, 2010, when a California court granted his request for a gender and name change. He chose the name "Chaz Salvatore Bono" in honor of his parents.[6][17] Bono made Becoming Chaz, a documentary film about his gender transition that premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network acquired the rights to the documentary and debuted it on May 10, 2011.
In September 2011, he became a competitor on the 13th season of the US version of Dancing with the Stars, paired with professional ballroom dancer Lacey Schwimmer.[18] The duo was eliminated October 25, 2011.[19]

How we behave as gun owners is important. Posturing and threatening does not serve us well in the public eye.
Don't buy into the narrative the left is trying to spin that the "tea partiers" are racist gun owners spoiling for a fight. Many of the threats are from left leaning groups. It's really more an indication of the polarization and alienation.

It seems he got the idea.Shuler said that he and his wife have obtained concealed-weapons permits.
There is something about firing 4,200 thirty millimeter rounds/min that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Currently, the only person caught making death threats or taking any shots at politicians was the guy who fired a couple of rounds into a Congressman's office and he was found to be an Obama supporter....

text: The Wishing WellThe wind was blowing softly, playing among the branches of the trees in the forest, among the leaves and blowing up both sand and dust on the roads and playgrounds. The birds where happily chipping, singing about the wonderful summer day it was as the trees and grass was in a glowing green colours stained with white, yellow, blue and red flowers. Girls where running around, picking flowers and chattering happily, boys where fencing with sticks and the older children where trying to keep an eye on all of the youngsters.It was truly a typical day in the small town, but in this idyll there was all but one story; the one about the Wishing Well. The parents warned their children of the wells, telling them to not toss coins into them and wish, and forbidding them to enter the forest. It was the children who had called it the Wishing Well. It was said that if one tossed a coin into the right well and said ones wish three times, the wish would come true.Of course, though, there was older chi

Anacondas: The Hunt For The Blood Orchid (2004) Horror Movie Review
Horror movies Review
Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid is another good try at a great idea. I for one am a big fan of the idea of creating a movie on the concept of 100ft anacondas roaming the rain forests of Brazil. Pretty good cast with good graphics, however, for some reason I didn't like the storyline. It had some pretty good scenes involving the death of the actors along with the fabled Blood Orchid as the reason for these snakes growing to these enormous sizes.
A scientific expedition sets out for Borneo to seek a flower called the Blood Orchid, which could grant longer life. Meanwhile, they run afoul of snakes and each other.
