The card comes with an annual free night certificate that can be used at any IHG property, including Intercontinental hotels - making this certificate worth upwards of 50,000 points.

All that jazz: Swinging in the Blitz
Clemency Burton-Hill was making a jazz documentary when she discovered the black wartime stars who created a very British sound of their own
Clifford Coonan
Clifford Coonan is a reporter for The Independent, based in Beijing.
Friday 15 February 2013
March 8, 1941. 9.48pm. Hitler's Luftwaffe is waging an aerial assault on London. Under the piercing wail of the air-raid sirens, a handsome 26-year-old male dashes down Piccadilly and through the backstreets of the West End. Bombs are falling around him. Buckingham Palace has been hit; it is surely dicing with death to remain above ground. But the young man, a jazz bandleader, has a 10 o'clock set to perform at the Café de Paris, London's swankiest nightspot, and his celebrated all-black swing orchestra are waiting for him. As the frontman and star, whose image adorns the popular sheet music of the day and whose hot swing sounds can be heard nightly on the BBC, it will not do for him to be late – Blitz or no Blitz.
Safely, he reaches the doors of the Café de Paris, just in the nick of time. Moments later, he is 20ft underground, resplendent in the white tuxedo that cuts such a dash against his gleaming skin. Every night, glamorous crowds including the Aga Khan, the Mountbattens and Cole Porter flock here to forget the tribulations of the war that rages above.
Charismatic, gifted, ambitious, Ken "Snakehips" Johnson is arguably the first superstar of British jazz. At exactly 10pm, this protégé of the American swing masters Cab Calloway, Fletcher Henderson and Buddy Bradley raises his baton and his band kick into the opening bars of their signature tune "Oh, Johnny".
The room explodes. Literally: against unimaginable odds, two Luftwaffe bombs have fallen through the ventilation shaft of the Rialto Cinema up above, landing directly in front of the dance floor. Before "Oh, Johnny" is out, dozens are dead: the blast sucking the air from their lungs so instantaneously that many remained eternally frozen in their dancing positions, like eerie Pompeii jitterbuggers. Ken "Snakehips" Johnson is among the victims. And with his untimely death closes a neglected chapter in British musical history whose consequences, both socially and artistically, can nevertheless still be felt today. As we saw last weekend at the Grammys, white artists and audiences are still hungrily appropriating music that originates among the black community. In swing-era London, this was merely the earliest instance in Britain of that ongoing and occasionally vexed cultural transaction.
The story of what happened when the Empire Windrush docked in Tilbury in 1948 is widely known. What is more surprising to discover, as I did while researching a documentary about the emergence of black British jazz, is that two whole decades previously a handful of highly resourceful and talented West Indian musical pioneers also arrived on these shores, helping to create and define a distinctly British swing sound.
Alongside "Snakehips", the most significant black figure to be found on Archer Street was the superb trumpeter and all-round musical talent Leslie Thompson. Unlike "Snakehips", who grew up in middle-class British Guiana and was sent by his doctor father to the William Borlase School in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, in the hope he might enter a career in law or medicine, Thompson came from humble roots in Jamaica. The strictures of the Great Depression meant authorities were clamping down on American musicians and other foreign artists performing in London. Yet West Indian musicians, as British subjects, not only had the advantage of being allowed to work, but, being black, they also appeared to impart the musical "authenticity" thatwealthy white audiences, for better or worse, were after (and perhaps still are).
Inspired by the contemporary teachings of Marcus Garvey and his emphasis on black economic empowerment, Leslie Thomson and Ken "Snakehips" Johnson decided to combine their formidable talents to fill a gap in the market. In 1936, they formed Britain's first all-black band. With hits like "Tuxedo Junction" and "Tap Your Feet", they also caught the attention of the BBC producer Leslie Perowne, who facilitated a lucrative broadcasting contract that furthered their appeal. Although Johnson and Thompson fell out, with the latter eventually abandoning his musical career, Ken "Snakehips" Johnson's legacy lives on.

Pergola curved metal support/cross beam
srgravesNovember 26, 2010
Greetings, I'm new to the forum and want to thank all of you for the wealth of information.
I found a picture of a pergola that I like with a curved metal support/cross beam. I've tried numerous searches and I can't find the source document/website to locate hardware like this. Does anyone have any leads?
Here is a link that might be useful:

This is Jewels (peace Lily)
This is Jewels. Her flowers have died off and I cut the stem at the top as I read to do. She has been real healthy. She did have brown tips on almost all of her tip about a month ago and I snipped them all off. So far so good.
What is the best care for her? How many blooms can she have at once? When will she bloom again?
I read she is sensitive to certain fertilizers. She doesnt like chemicals.
I was misting her too and stopped after I had the issue with the rubber tree and misting...
Jewel's looks healthy enough.
Peace Lily's seem to have a mind of their own when it comes to flowering. They can bloom summer, winter, spring or fall. There could be one flower or several.
My Spaths blooms more when soil dries, then a hearty drink is given. Before I know it, several buds appear. However, soil that dries too much may also brown leaves.
They like bright, indirect, 'especially in summer' sun. Please don't make the mistake I did. I placed my green Spath on a shelf in the bedroom this summer. Not only was it HOT, the window faces south. Most leaves browned. It's NOT a show plant..lol.
My variegated PL is in the bathroom facing west, but shaded by two Palms..leaves are healthy. When I shower, I reach for the PL and spray leaves, sometimes soil, too, since it's a heavy drinker.
My two Spaths are fertilized w/Fish Emulsion which is a chemical-free/organic type. It's also been fertilized w/All Purpose types, w/chemicals, didn't notice any difference.
When I use chemical-type fertilizers I only add half the recommended dossage, 'on all plants.'
Although PL's can bloom year round, my green Spath flowers more in autumn..since it's older, flower color is pale-green..they start out white, but change to green.
Jewels is doing great.
The number of blooms would correlate to the number of individual plants in the pot. If memory serves, each one can make one flower at a time, but I admit, I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to my PL's for the few years I had some, so hopefully someone who's paid more attention can confirm or deny.
I wouldn't worry about making any attempt to separate this one since its' natural tendency is to grow a crowd of individuals anyway, but that's just my opinion, based on much less experience with this one than parlor palm.
Your peace lily looks really good; just be careful about keeping it too wet - brown tips all over the plant are its attempt to tell you its roots are too wet. Spaths don't really like to stay wet. Let it dry until the leaves approach a 45degree angle to the leaf stem, then water. Misting is useless - plants don't get to be one of the 3 or 4 most used commercial species by being finicky. Fertilize 3 or 4 times a year with any all-purpose fertilizer - I've never known them to be chemically sensitive ( probably someone had one too wet and thought it was from chemicals.) Each leaf has the power to make one flower in its life, so the secret of having lots of flowers is to grow lots of new leaves. And aside from all the other aspects of good culture, the best way to encourage new leaves is to cut off old leaves. So any leaves that don't look perfect, feel free to cut them off. Cut the leaf stem (or break it) flush with the main stem. Likewise, when you cut flower stems, cut them as close to the leaf stem as possible; you don't want to leave empty stems sticking on the plant. As far as how many flowers you can expect, it depends on the variety - some never have more then 2 or 3 flowers at a time, some often have as many as 20. You don't need to worry about separating plantlets; after a few years, though, you'll find the bared main stem of the plant rising above the surface if you don't follow annual repotting techniques, so then you'll probably want to repot.

Treasury Regulation
There are many things that fall under Treasury Regulation, more than most everyday people know or understand. The world of
and Treasury Regulation may seem like a foreign language to most people, which are why people ask tax questions, to become more able to understand these things. Below are questions that are in regards to Treasury Regulation that have been answered by the Experts.
Under the Treasury Regulations is a person that is on the deed of a home but is not on the mortgage, deduct mortgage interest from their income tax?
In most situations it is possible for an individual to who is on the deed to be allowed to deduct mortgage interest from a property on which they are not noted on the actual loan. This is possible due to Treasury Regulation 1. 163-1, which states that an owner that is equitable is able to deduct mortgage interest that the individual has paid. The important part is that the person who wants to deduct the mortgage interest actually paid the mortgage interest.
Is there anything in the Treasury Regulations about when requesting an emergency withdrawal for closing costs on a house that the individual requesting the withdrawal must be named on the mortgage?
Reg. §1.401(k)-1(d) (3) (iii), and states that the funds may be withdrawn for costs that are directly related to a purchase of a primary residence for the employee, but excludes mortgage payments. If an individual finds themselves being denied because they are not named on a loan, the individual should ask the company who is in charge of the 401 K to site where it is stated by the IRS.Under the Treasury Regulations there is no wording that states that an individual must have their name on a loan to make an emergency withdrawal from their 401K. The exact wording can be found under Reg. §1.401(k)-1(d) (3) (iii)).
Under Treasury Regulations are expenditures made on the last day of the year are they classified as the year ending expense or the year starting expense?
According to the Treasury Regulations the expenditures that are made at the end of the year are considered to be expenditures for the year that they occurred in. This is true regardless of when the payment is processed; the expenditure will be classified as an expenditure of the year in which it occurred. The Treasury Regulation that this found under is Treasury Regulation 1.446-1(c) (1) (I).
How are easements treated under Treasury Regulations?
The regulations regarding easements can be found under Section 1.61-6(a) of the Treasury Regulation. The Treasury Regulation states that if the land's title is retained then the basis of the land which is affected by the easement has the permanent easement payment applied to it. In the case that the payment of the permanent easement has exceeded the basis of the property in which the easement is placed then on Schedule D there should be a taxable gain shown.
According to Treasury Regulations an individual is able to claim a tax
for mortgage interest for a property on which they are not on the loan, as long as they were the ones who paid the mortgage interest. Expenditures made on the last day of the year and considered, according to Treasury Regulation to be for the year in which they occurred not the year in which they were processed. Any questions in regards to Treasury Regulation can be asked to the Experts.

In 2014 I have received $100K by wire transfer to my UK consulting business as salary equivalent and I had assumed I would simply pay tax as normal in the UK. However, as we approach year end in the US the companies accountants (we were incorporated in Oklahoma)
have told me that I will need to pay tax in the US first as the income has been earned in the US and then transferred to the UK. Something they called "flow through". They explained that because of the reciprocal tax arrangements between the US and UK I can
claim a credit on my UK filings. My question - Will the UK tax authorities allow me to pay tax in the US first even though I am a resident in the UK?

Food & Reg
Valley restaurateurs and slow-food advocates want an elite food culture in Phoenix. Does regulation stand in the way?
Ted Batycki winds through a maze of grass-green walls with earthy brown bases. He passes a gaggle of chirping ladies armed with spray bottles full of vinegar, boxes of baking soda and a cardboard arsenal of Starbucks to fuel their merry cleaning on a sticky August morning in Cave Creek. Batycki expertly dodges a work crew assembling a table and maintains an effortless commentary, despite the intruding sounds and smell of the construction site. The buzz of a saw here, a puff of woodsy dust there to invade the nose and moisten the eyes – Batycki remains a polo-and-khaki-clad Sherpa unfazed by the chaos around him.

Another year, another half-cocked secession "movement." As always, Arizona's fringy separatist sentiments reveal fascinating things about its character
Former Arizona lawmaker Karen Johnson remembers the sneers and insults, the unkind op-eds and political cartoons. And for what? All she did was try to dissolve the federal government.
Back in 2000, Johnson – then a Mesa-based member of the Arizona House of Representatives – chaired the five-person committee that approved House Concurrent Resolution 2034, which granted Arizona and other states the right to "establish a new federal government for themselves" should the United States declare martial law, confiscate firearms or usurp states' authority in matters such as abortion and public land use. Johnson's committee ratified the resolution with a 3-2 vote.

A pistol configured to fire blank cartridges includes a modified barrel with a breech portion connected to an aligned inner sleeve. Around the inner sleeve, there is disposed an outer sleeve having a vent therein through which the cartridge discharges. The breech portion is connected to a barrel anchor to move backward in a slight arc when the pistol is fired. A spring retention rod projects from the barrel anchor and receives a shortened recoil spring therearound which recoil spring has one end abutting a stop on the barrel anchor and the other end in abutment with the end of a spring retaining cup. The spring retaining cup is engaged by a flange projecting from a slide so that when the pistol is fired, the slide moves rearwardly against the compression of the spring to eject the spent cartridge and then moves forwardly under the urging of the spring to load a fresh cartridge into the breech portion. The spring then returns all of the slidable elements to their initial position so that the pistol may again be fired.
1. An automatic pistol operable to fire blank ammunition wherein said pistol includes a frame, a slide mounted on said frame for reciprocal movement between a first position and a second position, wherein when said slide is in the first position, said pistol can fire, moving said slide to the second position, allowing a spent cartridge to be ejected as said slide moves toward the second position and a live cartridge to be positioned for firing as said slide moves back toward the first position, said pistol comprising:
(a) a modified barrel including a breech and an inner hollow sleeve rigidly attached to and extending from said breech;
(b) an outer sleeve having a diameter greater than said inner sleeve and having a constricted orifice therein, said outer sleeve telescopically receiving said inner sleeve;
(c) barrel anchor means connected to said frame of said pistol, said barrel anchor means including means for connecting said breech of said modified barrel to said barrel anchor means and means for restraining motion of said breech to arcuate motion with respect to said barrel anchor means and means for restraining forward motion of said outer sleeve with respect to said barrel anchor means;
(d) rod means projecting from said barrel anchor means in a direction substantially parallel to the direction of said sleeves when said slide is in the first position;
(e) a shortened recoil spring received over said rod means, said spring having an inboard end abutting a stop on said barrel anchor means and an outboard end abutted by spring retaining means connected to said slide, whereby when said pistol is fired, said slide moves toward the second position against the bias of said spring to eject the spent cartridge from said breech while said breech moves slightly backward in an arc to receive a fresh cartridge and said outer sleeve remains horizontally stationary with respect to said frame, said spring restoring said slide, said breech, and said inner sleeve to their original positions upon pushing said slide to its first position.
2. The pistol of claim 1, wherein said orifice in said outer sleeve is located at an end of said outer sleeve and faces downwardly.
3. The pistol of claim 1, wherein said outer sleeve has an open end and a constriction therein wherein the discharge from a cartridge is axially aligned with said outer sleeve.
4. The pistol of claim 1, wherein said means for connecting said breech and said barrel anchor means comprises an arcuate slot in a flange on said barrel anchor means which receives a pin extending through a bore on said breech.
5. The pistol of claim 1, further including a cushion rigidly mounted on said barrel anchor means against which said slide impacts when said pistol fires to transmit recoil thereof to said frame.
6. The pistol of claim 1, wherein said spring retaining means includes a cup which fits over said spring, said cup having a bore at an end thereof through which bore said rod means extends, said spring retaining means extending from said slide and engaging said cup in order to compress said spring.
The United States Government has rights in this invention pursuant to Contract DE-AC04-76DP00789 between the United States Department of Energy and AT&T Technologies, Inc.
The instant invention relates to blank fire configurations for automatic pistols. More particularly the instant invention relates to converting a standard automatic pistol to a configuration where the pistol fires blanks in order to simulate live fire for practice and theatrical uses.
Automatic reloading fire arms generally use either gas operated systems or recoil operated systems. Gas operated systems use the pressure of expanding gases produced from burning propellant to operate the reloading mechanism, whereas recoil operated systems use force generated by the recoil of a barrel and/or spent cartridge in relation to the bullet being accelerated from the barrel to operate the reloading mechanism. In either case, the reloading mechanism can be operated by firing blanks after attaching a properly sized restrictor orifice to the muzzle end of the barrel. By doing this, gas pressure is allowed to build up in the barrel and thus drive the reloading mechanism.
Many automatic pistols, including the Colt family of pistols, use a recoil operated system in which the barrel and slide are locked together. The recoil, which results when the bullet is fired, forces the barrel and slide to move as a unit until the barrel unlocks from the slide and stops in the proper position for reloading. The slide continues moving, extracting the spent cartridge and loading a new cartridge into the barrel as it returns to its original position. Firing a blank cartridge in the Colt-type of automatic pistol produces no motion of the barrel and slide due to the fact that firing a blank cartridge produces no recoil. If one attaches a restrictor orifice to the muzzle, pressure builds up in the barrel, but no motion occurs because the barrel and slide are locked together and cannot move independently. Without recoil, the barrel and slide do not unlock.
In order to make the pistol operate with blank fire, one can remove the locking features from the barrel and attach a restrictor orifice to the muzzle. The barrel then remains stationary and the slide is forced rearwardly as gas pressure pushes the spent cartridge from the rear of the barrel. Since the barrel does not move, it is not in proper reloading position. Consequently, the pistol often fails to load the next cartridge, which causes the pistol to jam.
In another approach, the barrel may be modified so that the slide will move a short distance and then contact the barrel and force it rearwardly to the reloading position. However, the amount of gas pressure necessary to operate this type of system is so great that burning gun powder is expelled rearwardly from the barrel when the spent cartridge is extracted. The burning gun powder can strike the shooter in the face, consequently this approach is not acceptable because it is unsafe.
The patent literature contains a number of blank firing attachments, however, these are all systems utilized with automatic rifles or machine guns so as to provide realistic training for troops. The following U.S. patents are exemplary of these approaches: U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,440,924; 4,499,811; 3,137,204; 3,744,370; and 4,261,246. The patent literature also includes kits for modifying automatic pistols for various purposes. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,657,959 converts a pistol to fire smaller caliber ammunition, while U.S. Pat. No. 4,580,484 discloses an arrangement for converting a recoil operated automatic pistol to a gas operated automatic pistol. The patent literature does not include references directed to solving the particular problem of converting an automatic pistol which is standard issue to a blank firing pistol for training purposes and theatrical purposes.
It is an object of the instant invention to provide a new and improved blank fire configuration for recoil operated automatic pistols wherein a standard live fire pistol can be quickly converted to a safe blank firing pistol for training and theatrical purposes.
Upon further study of the specification and appended claims, further objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art.
In view of this object, and other objects, the instant invention contemplates a recoil operated automatic pistol which has been modified to fire blank cartridges by removing the live fire barrel and replacing the live fire barrel with a short barrel to which an inner sleeve is threaded so as to act as a unit with the barrel. An outer sleeve having a restrictor orifice at its muzzle end receives the inner sleeve therein and is restrained from forward motion by a barrel anchor secured to the pistol frame by a pin. The barrel anchor also secures the barrel in the frame, but allows the barrel to reciprocate with respect to the frame in a manner similar to reciprocation of the barrel of an unmodified live firing pistol. A cushion is removably attached to the barrel anchor which is attached to the pistol frame in the path of a portion of the slide so as to limit rearward movement of the slide and to absorb the impact therefrom. Extending from the barrel anchor in spaced relation to the barrel is a rod around which the recoil spring is positioned. The rod projects through an opening in a flange on the slide, which flange abuts the recoil spring so as to stabilize the barrel anchor.
In operation, the blank firing pistol functions as follows. When a blank cartridge is fired, the expanding gases create pressure between the modified barrel and outer sleeve. Since the outer sleeve is restrained from forward motion by the barrel anchor, the pressure forces the barrel and slide to move rearwardly. As the barrel moves rearwardly, it unlocks from the slide and stops in the proper position for reloading. The pressure still inside the barrel forces the spent cartridge from the barrel, causing the slide to continue its rearward motion until it contacts the cushion. The spent cartridge is ejected and a new cartridge is stripped from the magazine and loaded into the barrel as the slide moves forward under the pressure of the recoil spring. The amount of pressure in the barrel is controlled by the size of the restrictor orifice in the outer sleeve. A properly sized orifice will allow operation of the system without an excess of pressure which might result in a rearward ejection of burning gun powder when the spent cartridge is extacted. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, the outer sleeve discharges the gas through a downwardly facing orifice so as to avoid injury to any one standing in front of the gun. This is important because in training exercises for police officers and security personnel, blank guns are frequently fired at close range.
Various other objects, features and attendant advantages of the present invention will be more fully appreciated as the same becomes better understood when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference characters designate the same or similar parts throughout the several views, and wherein:
FIG. 1 is a side elevation of a live fire pistol of the type to be modified in accordance with the principles of the instant invention, shown prior to its modification and prior to firing the pistol;
FIG. 2 is a view of the pistol of FIG. 1, subsequent to firing the pistol;
FIG. 3 is a side elevation of the pistol, such as the pistol of FIG. 1, after it has been modified to a blank fire configuration in accordance with the principles of the instant invention and prior to firing the pistol;
FIG. 4 is a view of the pistol of FIG. 3, showing the configuration of the modified pistol after it has been fired;
FIGS. 5A, 5B, and 5C are side elevation, front and bottom views, respectively, of the barrel modified in accordance with the principles of the instant invention;
FIG. 6 is a side elevation of an inner sleeve which is threadably secured to the modified barrel of FIG. 5 and an outer sleeve which receives the inner sleeve;
FIGS. 7A, 7B, and 7C are top, side and rear views, respectively, of a barrel anchor and rod combination of the invention. FIG. 7D is a front view of the cushion of the invention, which may be positioned on the barrel anchor, as shown in FIGS. 7A, 7B, and 7C; and
FIG. 8 is a view of the outer sleeve for a forward venting blank firing pistol in accordance with the principles of the instant invention.
Referring first to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown a pistol, designated generally by the numeral 10, in the form of a Colt Mark IV configured for firing live ammunition. The pistol 10 basically comprises a frame 11, a slide 12 which reciprocates on the frame 11 and a barrel 13 through which bullets are fired as they are fed from a magazine (not shown) in the handle 14 of the pistol. When the pistol is fired, the recoil action of the bullet forces the slide 12 rearwardly against the bias of a recoil spring 16 mounted on a spring guide 17. A link 18 moves from the FIG. 1 position to the FIG. 2 position to limit rearward movement of the barrel 13 and cock the hammer. The spent shell is ejected from the barrel 13 as the slide 12 moves rearwardly and as the slide 12 moves again in the forward direction it engages and pushes a new cartridge into the firing chamber of the barrel 13.
In order to convert the live fire pistol shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 to the blank firing pistol shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the barrel 13 is replaced with a modified barrel 20, configured as shown in FIGS. 5A-5C, having a breech portion 20A. Link 18 of FIGS. 1 and 2 is deleted from modified barrel 20. The replaced barrel 13 and deleted link 18, respectively, are shown as dotted line portions of FIG. 5A. The modified barrel 20 is relatively short and has a threaded end into which an inner sleeve 21 (see FIG. 6) is screwed. The inner sleeve 21 has a constant inner diameter all the way through with the exception of a slightly flared end. As is seen in FIG. 6, the inner sleeve is slidably received in an outer sleeve 22 having a downwardly opening vent 23.
The three elements, comprising the modified barrel 20 and breech portion 20A, the inner sleeve 21 and the outer sleeve 22, comprise a modified barrel assembly which is attached to the frame 11 of the pistol 10 via a barrel anchor 30 (see FIGS. 7A-7C). The barrel anchor 30 is secured by a pin 31 to the frame 11 and has a flange 32 thereon with an arcuate slot 33 therein. The slot 33 receives a pin 34 which is also received in the projecting yoke 24 of the modified barrel 20. The barrel anchor 30 has a retaining portion 35 defined by a first pair of opposed grooves 36 and 36A onto which the cushion 38, having a slot 39, is fitted. When the barrel anchor 30 is mounted in the frame 11 of the pistol 10, the cushion 38 stops rearward motion of the slide 12 when a blank is fired. The outer sleeve 22 is stabilized by a slotted ear 25 which projects downwardly therefrom and is received in a second pair of opposed grooves 37 and 37A on the barrel anchor 30. Opposed grooves 37 and 37A prevent forward motion of the outer sleeve 22, when slotted ear 25 is engaged in grooves 37 and 37A.
As is seen in FIG. 7A, a spring retention rod 50 projects from the barrel anchor 30 and projects forwardly with respect to the pistol frame 11 (FIGS. 3 and 4) while a shortened recoil spring 52 surrounds the rod 50. Spring 52 has an inboard end abutting a stop 51 on the barrel anchor 30 and an outboard end seated in a spring cup 53 which has a bore 54 therethrough. Rod 50 passes through the bore 54. Spring cup 53 has a shoulder 56 thereon which is engaged by a projecting flange 57 extending from a bearing 58 seated in the slide 12 of the pistol 10. When the slide 12 moves backward upon firing the pistol 10, the flange 57 pulls the cup 53 back against the bias of spring 52 so as to compress the spring 52. The rod 50 may include a bore 59 in the end thereof for receiving a laser training device, if desired.
As is seen when one compares FIGS. 3 and 4, the rear end of the inner sleeve 21 and the modified barrel 20 tilt down slightly due to the pin 34 riding in the slot 33. This positions the breech 20A of modified barrel 20 to receive a blank cartridge as the slide 12 moves from the FIG. 4 to the FIG. 3 position under the bias of rcoil spring 52. Upon firing a subsequent blank cartridge, the cycle is repeated with the slide 12 moving rearwardly, the inner sleeve 21 moving back slightly within and in respect to the outer sleeve 22 while tilting down slightly to receive a subsequent blank cartridge.
Referring now to FIG. 8, there is shown an outer sleeve barrel 60 which is configured for forward venting of a blank firing pistol. The forward venting barrel 60 has a constriction 61 therein disposed slightly inboard of the end of the barrel. This embodiment of the invention is especially useful for theatrical performances wherein smoke emerges axially from the end of the pistol 10 instead of being deflected downwardly as is the case with the outer sleeve 22 (FIG. 6).
The aforedescribed arrangement, in a specific embodiment, is designed to convert a Colt MK IV 9 mm automatic pistol to operate with blank ammunition. However, the principles employed could be used to convert other Colt automatic pistols and other makes of pistols to blank firing systems as long as the pistols generally utilize the same operating mechanisms.
From the foregoing description, one skilled in the art can easily ascertain the essential characteristics of this invention, and without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, can make various changes and modifications of the invention to adapt it to various usages and conditions.

"Oh well, that's all right," Akins answers, briefly crestfallen. "Chance of any little additions, maybe?" he inquires, his manic energy returning.

Following in the footsteps of The New York Times Magazine in 2012 and Slate.com in 2013, the March 30 edition of Time is promoting the photographs of Lindsay Morris, which promotes a "rural retreat for gender-creative kids." As opposed to most children, who are apparently "gender-stodgy."
Morris is coming out with a book titled You Are You in which they call these children "gender-unique." The book blurb says through "sensitive images the viewer will experience an important moment in history where the first gender-creative childhood is being openly expressed with the support of friends and family. Morris reaches beyond the confines of the camp to contribute to a dialog about the crucial role that support plays in the lives of gender unique children."

Univision's morning show, Despierta América, started the day by swinging into attack mode against presidential hopeful Ted Cruz. Univision host Natalia Cruz led the charge, telling viewers that "although the candidate has a Latino last name and background, he has come to be known for his anti-immigrant policies."

Ted Cruz's announcement that he is running for president was immediately greeted with hostility from the liberal media. On Monday, MSNBC's Jonathan Alter questioned, "Is this 1964 when the Republican Party decided it would go with its most extreme candidate?" Donny Deutsch, also on MSNBC, called Cruz "unelectable" and added "I think he's the worst. I think he's scary, I think he's dangerous, I think he's slimy and I think he brings no fresh ideas."

Journalists Lock Step With Celebrities in Bashing Ted Cruz Presidential Campaign Announcement on TwitterBy Kristine Marsh | March 23, 2015 | 4:18 PM EDT
Since Sen. Ted Cruz has been in the national spotlight, the media has devoted time to smearing him as an extremist who is "slimy" and "dangerous." After his announcement today that he was officially running for POTUS, some liberals even contested Cruz's eligibility to run for President. Even though Cruz is of Hispanic heritage, no claims of racism by the media have surfaced about these "birther" claims like they did with Pres. Obama.
The attacks continued on Twitter by liberal journalists and celebrities who really can't stand the openly Christian candidate.

It is a surprise from the pro-choice entertainment world, but CBS' The Good Wife recently dared to present pro-life arguments in a rational, respectful way.
A side plot to the March 22 episode of CBS' The Good Wife featured two characters, Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) and R.D. (Oliver Platt) arguing over abortion. R.D., the pro-lifer, demanded to know why a five-month-old fetus is "not a baby?"

Even Eric Holder's Justice Department was forced to admit that it was untrue that Michael Brown stood innocently and said "Hands up, don't shoot" when police officer Darren Wilson shot him dead.
"It remains not only valid — but essential — to question how such a strong alternative version of events was able to take hold so swiftly, and be accepted so readily," Holder said.

Is there any min. sentence for breaking this law 2 counts felony h
Criminal Defense Attorney
A class H felony has the following penalties.
(h) For a Class H felony, a fine not to exceed $10,000 or imprisonment not to exceed 6 years, or both.
There is no minimum listed under the statutes. Some drug crimes carry with them loss of driver's license. I do not think it is the case with this crime. You or whoever you know who is charged with this offense is in serious trouble and needs a lawyer who practices in this area. I would be happy to talk with you if you like.

Leafs experiment with JVR at center
Nov 4, 2013, 7:55 PM EDT
This past weekend saw Dave Bolland get knocked out of the Toronto Maple Leafs' lineup indefinitely while Tyler Bozak was placed on the LTIR, leaving the team dangerously thin at center. Sometimes that means improvising, which is why it shouldn't be too surprising that Randy Carlyle is experimenting with different setups, most notably moving James van Riemsdyk to center.
Carlyle had a blunt explanation for the Toronto Sun on Monday.
"He has played there before, so it does not take rocket science to go in that direction," Carlyle said. "We think he is more of the fit right now."
The Toronto Sun points out that JVR played down the middle during two seasons of his NCAA career. Toronto also gave the 24-year-old a "long look" at the pivot spot when they acquired him, but ultimately opted against moving him from the wing.
The Maple Leafs' lengthy layoff until Friday gives them time to see if the talented American can get acquainted with that new role. He hasn't been awful in faceoffs – albeit in small sample sizes – since joining the Buds, so it could be an OK stopgap in that regard.*
Of course, that gap of time could allow Toronto GM Dave Nonis to add a center via a transaction. TSN's Darren Dreger said the team's in the market for a forward, especially a center, which is far from shocking.
Cap space-wise, it might be easier to make a trade, but free agency could be worth considering too. A guy like Vinny Prospal is still looking for work, for one.
This is certainly not an ideal situations for the Maple Leafs, yet at least they have options.
* – Obviously there are bigger concerns than draws, as centers tend to carry the heaviest defensive workloads of the three forward positions.

On this coming road trip, the Canucks have to get the monkey off their back of not beating SJ in such a long time after totally dominating them for 3 seasons and playoffs.
Canucks can beat the other 3 teams and have done so in the past so I'm hoping for at least a 2-1-1 record coming out of this road trip. I'd prefer 4-0, but minimum 2-1-1.
Canucks have been getting better and better as they work Torts system and it shows. they play a great, exciting, hard style which will serve them well. No sitting back. The Sedins and Kesler are finally getting the ice time they deserve.
Santorelli has been a breath of fresh air (which I said he had a good chance of being in the summer when I compared his signing against Clarkson, when both had similar career stats). Richardson has done well also. MG really picked up a couple of gems there. I'm hoping Welsh and Dalpe yield similar results for us.
Go Canucks Go.
