Some striker fire do have the second strike capability. The H&K PSP series (squeeze cocker) comes to mind.

Why Would I Be Paranoid, I'm the One With The Gun. "Just a man and his jug settling an old fued" -Me-
I like both, but since all of my favorite guns are striker fired I guess it seems I do prefer strikers to hammers.
I have had both. I never really based the purchase of a firearm on whether it was a hammer or a striker nor did I base it on a SA or DA. I just would know what i wanted in the firearm, what it was going to be used for and then would find the gun to that criteria. When I was looking at 45s I was looking at a back-up gun for hunting. I wanted a gun that could hadle the elements and if it got dirty I would not have to clean it for the gun to work properly. I ended up with a Glock 21. Now with the 1911 that I am currently looking for, I know what I want and the manuf'r that I though I wanted turns out that I did not want. It just does not have the features that I am looking for in the gun. I don't think that I could want a new firearm and start with "I want a DA" or "I want a SA" that would leave me with to many options and then I would not even know where to start. If you are looking to purchase a new firearm I would suggest that you make a list as to what you want in the gun. With the 1911 that I am llooking for this is my list: Night sights stainless barrel steel frame combat sights combat hammer extended beaver tail (i hate hammer bite) Gi guide rod (full size I am not a big fan of, taking the gun apart should be easy) durable finish great factory mags neat looking grips (I don't want to have to buy new grips as the very first thing) Match grade barrel and slide (tight fit) Lifetime warranty I thoght that I wanted a Kimber when I started off but Kimber does not have over half of these ithems and the warranty sucks. If the warranty sucks on a gun that sums up what kind of quality of the gun you are getting. A lifetime warranty means that the company believes in its product and does not think its going to see that gun much or at all after its is bought. A 1 year limited warranty means the company that makes the gun plans on seeing the gun right after purchase and a few times after that and hopefully the warranty will expire before they need to replace the gun.

If I had a hammer I'd hammer in the morning I'd hammer in the evening All over this land I'd hammer out danger I'd hammer out a warning I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters All over this land
Thanks for the feedback. I am trying to figure out my next purchase and trying to consider all aspects of the gun.
My 9mm does both. I like it because I can use my laser practice targets and pull the trigger multiple times without re-raking the slide.

Nacho Vigalondo's high stakes thriller Open Windows, which was recently released on VOD, starts off with Elijah Wood's Nick Chambers getting situated in a hotel room, ready for a dinner with his favorite movie star, Jill Goddard (Sasha Grey). The dinner gets cancelled, and what at first looks like a strange game of cat and mouse – one that cleverly takes place almost entirely on a computer screen – soon turns into a dark and foreboding look at what we're usually too afraid to admit: the Internet and technology can be extremely dangerous, depending on who is using them.
A largely unseen villain named Cord forces Nick to cyberstalk Jill in real time, using his technical prowess to tap into any and all cameras and electronics in the area. While everyone's lives are generally in danger throughout the film, one of Cord's major threats is making available to the public a video of a partially nude Jill, using a website with a countdown clock on it. I had the pleasure of talking to both Wood and Vigalondo about Open Windows just as Emma Watson's nude photo leak website was revealed to be a hoax. When asked how they felt about the situation, Wood shared his views on the evolution of Internet behavior.
I think it's getting to a point where it's starting to go beyond the online … the sort of safety that provides, and we're starting to see more direct real-world consequences for the things that people do online, and I think that that's a good thing in the sense that we're having a much larger conversation now about what we do online and how it can actually affect people in real life. "
Now, it's true that most of the morally degraded asshats on the Internet aren't out on the streets threatening a celebrity's privacy and forcing them into awful situations, but reading through comment sections and certain message boards can put one in a really dour state of mind concerning humanity's fate. And even though the circumstances in Open Windows are intentionally hyper-dramatic, the film still shows us that online safety could one day require a lot more faith than the undeniable assertion that it exists. Unfortunately, women are almost always going to be victimized more than men. It's sadly not that shocking how bad GamerGate got, and Wood also spoke of that as a vaguely optimistic omen that things could change.
The thing about that particular situation that fascinates me is if people were actually handling themselves in human, good ways, there could actually just be a discourse, because that's what it should be; a discourse about what they feel about feminism and how that might affect gamers' pride. Talk about it, discuss it, have interactions. However, what it actually turns into are death threats and race threats and the worst elements of humanity that literally are forcing some of these women to hire security and contact the FBI; so because it's getting to that level, I feel like it's actually a good thing that it's going to those extremes because I hope it will ultimately make people look at the way they conduct themselves online and what those consequences can actually be."
Open Windows also plays with the concept of identity both on- and offline, but talking about that would be delving into the film's secrets. For what it's worth, Vigalondo didn't set out to make Open Windows mirror society at large, and Wood says that the point "is not to make a statement about the way we conduct ourselves online, but rather using those elements to feel like familiar thriller tropes." Here's how the director explained his anti-motivation.
The thing is, I really wasn't concerned about all these things…I never wanted to make a cautionary tale…I wasn't going to deal with all these things to start a discussion or be part of a discussion. I never wanted to."
Sometimes prescience happens when you least expect it to, and this is definitely one of those instances. Find Open Windows out on VOD now, with a limited theatrical run starting November 7.
Here's the first trailer for Open Windows which will be on theaters and VOD on September 29th, via thefilmstage.com:
After taking us on time-travel adventures in Timecrimes and exploring sci-fi comedy with Extraterrestrial, director Nacho Vigalondo's latest film takes a unique approach to the thriller territory. Open Windows follows Elijah Wood and Sasha Grey as the latter has been captured by a villain named Chord (Neil Maskell), and the film takes place entirely on a computer screen or various cameras.
We recently caught it at Fantasia, saying in our review, "One of the many films to open with the misdirection of a movie within a movie, Open Windows actually earns it, even if the effort it expends in doing so makes no effort in really separating the layers of cinema fantasy. Because while festival programming guides will like to label it as an update of the Hitchcock-De Palma voyeuristic thriller, Open Windows is, if anything, far more like a Feuillade serial: one cliff-hanger after another — which is perhaps why the film runs 100 minutes, instead of the usual gimmick film's 80 — including criminal underworlds, wild plot twists, and shifting identities."
The first U.S. trailer has now landed ahead of a fall debut, and one can see it below:
Jill, the most exciting actress of the moment, refuses to have dinner with Nick, a fan who won a date with her in an Internet contest organized by the distributor of her latest film. In return, a guy named Chord, posing as Jill's campaign manager, help Nick to follow in the footsteps of the actress from his own computer. Nick starts a game in which he realizes that is only a puppet into the manic plans devised by Chord, to hunt down the star.

Lionsgate Motion Picture Group co-president Erik Feig, Summit president of production Geoff Shaevitz and Lionsgate vp production & development Matthew Janzen are overseeing the project for Lionsgate. Lionsgate evp business affairs Robert Melnik negotiated the deal on behalf of the studio.
Wood was most recently seen in the Damien Chazelle-scripted Grand Piano and currently appears on the final season of FX's Wilfred. With his horror-thriller label SpectreVision, he is also a producer of the upcoming horror comedy Cooties, which premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival and in which he co-stars, and the serial killer drama The Boy.

"Downton Abbey" director Andy Goddard is helming the film, which he co-wrote with actor Celyn Jones.
Elijah Wood has signed on to star in Set Fire to the Stars, a period movie exploring the relationship between poets John Malcolm Brinnin and Dylan Thomas.
Andy Goddard, best known for helming key episodes of Downton Abbey, co-wrote the script and is directing. Celyn Jones (Jo) co-wrote the script with Goddard and will portray Thomas opposite Wood's Brinnin.
The movie is set to begin filming at the end of the month and counts Kelly Reilly (Flight, Sherlock Holmes), Shirley Henderson (the Harry Potter movies) and Steven Mackintosh (Luther) in its cast.
A.J. Riach is producing while Steve Clark-Hall, who frequently collaborates with Guy Ritchie (the Sherlock Holmes movies and the upcoming Man from U.N.C.L.E. are among his credits) is exec producing.
Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals has been lined up to compose the score for the movie.
Brinnin was a Canadian-born American poet who was instrumental in bringing Thomas, known as the "doomed poet," into the U.S. for his famed visits in the early 1950s, leading up to his death in 1953. He had to deal with the drunken Welsh man's increasingly erratic behavior, even writing about those final years in a 1955 book, Dylan Thomas in America.
The movie will explore the turbulent relationship between Brinnin and his hero, with shooting taking place on location in and around Thomas' home of Swansea, Wales.
Goddard directed the season-three finale of Abbey, as well as the recent Christmas special, among the show's episodes. He also helmed episodes of Doctor Who, Torchwood, Dracula and Once Upon a Time. Additionally, he is attached to the Patricia Highsmith feature The Blunderer, being produced by Ted Hope and Killer Films' Christine Vachon with Sierra/Affinity financing.
Wood, who has been starring in TV's quirky comedy Wilfred, next will be seen on the big screen in the thriller Grand Piano. The actor has been producing and starring in horror movies via his SpectreVision banner and has his first two productions, Cooties, about a virus that turns school kids into murderers, and vampire movie A Girl Walks Home at Night, premiering at Sundance.
Wood is repped by WME, Brillstein Entertainment Partners and Stone Meyer. Goddard is repped by Resolution and United Agents. Jones is repped by Kate Staddon at Curtis Brown Group.
Wood is producing the horror story with SpectreVision partners Daniel Noah and Josh C. Waller.
SpectreVision, the horror-thriller label run by Elijah Wood, Daniel Noah and Josh C. Waller, is moving forward with its latest project, The Boy.
Craig Macneill is directing the movie from a screenplay by him and Clay McLeod Chapman, who created the characters in his novel Miss Corpus. Shooting will begin February 17 in Medellin, Colombia.
The Boy is the first movie of a planned trilogy that will track the childhood of a future serial killer. The films will explore the killer at the ages of 9, 14, and 18, culminating with him becoming an iconic mass murderer.
It is based on the short film Henley, which premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and was directed and written by Macneill and Chapman, respectively.
Jared Breeze will play the lead role of Henley. The eight-year old actor is a SpectreVision find as he made his acting debut in Cooties, the company's horror comedy, which premieres on Sunday at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival.
"Jared only had one line in Cooties," says producer Daniel Noah, "but he made a huge impression on the set. The Boy is a very different kind of child horror film. It's a probing character study into the undeveloped mind of a future madman. Jared's tender complexity is just right to bring us into the life of this complicated young person," he added.
Also cast in the movie is Aiden Lovekamp, whose credits include Cooties and Paranormal Activity 4.
SpectreVision's Wood, Noah and Waller are producing, with the company teaming up with Chiller Films for the movie.
Breeze is repped by Coast to Coast Talent.

Dave101 - Unregistered June 26, 2012 1:55 PM Maldonado caused the crash by trying to rejoin the track over curb stones but Hamilton is just as guilty for what happened because he knew that Maldonado was there and refused to give an inch.

Taz June 26, 2012 2:25 PM Last Edited 1034 days ago Was getting pelters on the other thread for suggesting Lewis should have used his head and let him go as he WOULD have lost the position anyway. That's the point Twitmarsh is trying to make. Reply Report abuse 41 agree 7 disagree
KnottyMonkey - Unregistered June 26, 2012 2:43 PM I think if you read between the lines, this is Martin Whitmarsh saying "Maldonao is absolutely a loose canon who should be given a wide berth". My first instinct when this happened during the race was "Maldonado just rammed Lewis". I mean, c'mon, the guy has a history of using a multi-million dollar race car as a battering ram when he gets the least bit frustrated or perceives himself to have been wronged. I think he needs to sit out a race or two next time this happens. Williams deserves better than this guy. 37 agree 15 disagree

Grosjean passed him earlier in the race at the same spot, both survived because they both gave each other space, Maldonado went off the road 'to avoid contact' from the sliding McLaren and had an incident of his own, unlike Raikkonen who backed out of moves on both Williams, Alonso diced with everyone but gave them room, Scumacher and Webber came through the field but looked after there cars.

Gorbachov - Unregistered June 26, 2012 3:09 PM If you watch GP2 you will see that the same thing happens with the Venezuelans racing GP2 they don't really care they go for it do or die even when there's less than half a chance. so many crazy crashes in GP2 by these guys Maldonado was the same like them when raced in GP2. And do you know why they don't care? They are racing with free money free pass from Chavez who must be very proud because his drivers are taking down the "empire" drivers. In the end of they day these Venezuelan drivers have nothing to lose I'm pretty sure if Sir Frank went to Maldonado and asked him to be more patient he would tell Sir Frank to shut up because he's paying the bills. Big shame! 18 agree 9 disagree

On the surface, the Habs picking up Curtis Sanford, on a two-way contract, appears to be a solid depth move. Sanford has shown that he can be a capable back-up goaltender in the NHL while also being at a level where he is comfortable going up and down between the NHL and AHL. While I'm sure playing in Hamilton is not his first choice, right now that looks like the place that he is destined to play in 2009-2010. Marc Denis is likely gone by way of free agency, Price is the starter in Montreal and Halak is the backup. Right? That seems to be that case. Or is it?
Montreal's current goaltending depth charts look something like this:
1 - Price
2 - Halak
3 - Sanford
4 - Cederick Desjardins
5 - Jason Missiaen
6 - Robert Mayer
The thing to keep in mind, however, is that BOTH Price and Halak are up for new deals at the end of this season. From what I can tell, there is NO WAY that Halak will hang around in Price's shadow for anything longer than this year. Yes, they are only RFA's next year, so Montreal still holds their rights, however I believe that under the right circumstances, Halak can be a good #1 goalie somewhere in the league. More importantly, I think that HE believes that too. Gainey, while not necessarily doing what the fans always want, is still a very smart man. I think that he too knows that Halak's day in Montreal are numbered, but also that he has solid value on the trade market.
If I were Gainey, I would be trying to move Halak AND Plekanec right now, in order to get a big centerman. But maybe that's just me. However, if we look at the rumblings around the league, theres seems to be a lot of talk of Montreal potentially making a trade with either Chicago or San Jose. Chicago because they are up aginst the cap and won't be able to keep all of thier great, young players, going forward beyond this season, and San Jose because it looks like Wilson wants to blow that thing up, or at least a significant part of it, in order to stop the trend of being a perennial Stanley Cup failure.
So back to Sanford. IF Montreal were to make a deal with, say, San Jose, for Marleu, I believe that Halak would be part of that deal. Why? Well, it looks like three players in particular, take most of the brunt of San Jose's playoff failures, and that is Joe thornton, Patrick Marleau and Evgeni Nabakov. There is no question that Nabakov was just not up to snuff, in these past playoffs. To San Jose's credit, however, they drew probably the WORST first round match up aginst the rolling Ducks team. But I digress. Perhaps Gainey's move, in bringing in Sanford, was to act as a backup to Price, in the eventuallity that Halak is traded. Who knows. Personally, I would like to see Olaf Kolzig backup up Price. He knows Price and has mentored him in goaltending schools in the past, and he would be a great 'older brother' figure to help get Price's head on straight, but that is another story.
All of this is, of course, pure speculation based on info I see and read online and hear on the radio, so don't go placing your bets on it! All I know, is that there are a few players on the team that seem like they are moveable pieces. Halak is one of them, so is Plekanec, in my opinion, Hamrlik would be a great contract to move, although that is unlikely, and then there is the Kostitsyn brothers. How will they react, this year? Will they progress or regress, again? wil they have matured through all of the strife of last season or will they continue to be bad eggs? Only time will tell. The last note I want to leave you all with is regarding Sergei Kostitsyn and it is two-fold. First, with all the new players and new potential line combinations, where does Sergei fit, on this team? Second question is, can you trade Sergei and keep Andrei or are they a packaged deal?
My next blog will be all about Sergei....
Stay tuned....

""The road to Ho is paved with good intentions""
Along the 50 shades line, a good read, enjoyable and certainly hot. I enjoyed book one of the series much more, but this was a good follow up with characters introduced in the first novel.
"Feels like she phoned it in from home...."
I love almost everything Harper has written, until now. The story line was so predictable I had the ending wrapped up by the end of the first hour. The characters I loved so much from Half Moon Hollow made cursory appearances at best...save one. I just wasn't a huge fan of this. I was very excited to the Half Moon Hollow and now....just disappointed.
Harper still has biting wit and packs a mean sarcasm punch, but other then that I found very little about this one entertaining.
"Oblection, Your Honor!"
Assumes facts not in evidence. I managed to get about halfway thru the first portion and just couldn't take it anymore. Considering this book is about a serial killer that was never caught, I find it hard to believe that this author could know what the killer was thinking or which way he turned on a street.
He also has a tendency to over explain things which gives a feeling of being talked down to. In one part he describes someone being shot in the head buy listing the consecutive actions of a pistol after it is fired.
It was in turn tedious and incredulous in it's assumptions.
"You can't Unhear this book"
Let me begin by saying that I am far from squeamish. I love true crime and am often frustrated by the lack of details provided about the crimes themselves or the psyche of the killers. This book leaves NOTHING OUT. It is graphic, almost to a fault the correspondence with the killers is bone chilling.
The narration was brilliant and made the letters from Gacy, and others spring to life in a way I sort of wish they hadn't.
I have always wondered what they were like, and now I think I know more than I wanted to.
Be warned, you can't unhear this book.
"Entertaining is least this book has to offer."
This book changed my life...again. As a true fan or the horror / thriller genre this book was spectacular. The writing was outstanding, the narration exceptional but there was something else.....something beautiful in it's undertones.
Without giving you TMI...I suffered a year 12 years ago that stopped my 3 time a week mass attendance. In a period of 12 months my husband and I lost our beloved dog. my father, his mother and our child. The impact this had on my faith was unfathomable.......until I finished this book. I attended Mass last Sunday for the first time and 12 years. Life is a cosmic balance, and there can be no good without evil, no evil without good.
Thank you Jonathon for jarring my faith and for one hell of a read.
"It wasn't bad but......"
It also wasn't great. I read and or listen to ALOT of books.....Seriously. On average I got thru 5-7 books a week my main focuses are horror, thriller, erotic romance, and humor. This should have fit into a couple of these genre's but it just didn't do it for me. Frankly I looked forward to it being over with so I could get on to my next book.
It wasn't bad....sort of "cute" I guess. It was a little like trying to make the best out of a bad fat blind date.
Frankly at 10 Bucks or one precious credit per very short story I'm sort of relieved I didn't love it.
From a guy who "does two things writes and teaches you to become legendary" I was expecting more "WOW" and "meh".
"Hold my calls on my slow descent to hell please..."
I had seriously dubious thoughts about this title. I was looking for humor, and it is funny....the humor is definitely dark in a firefighter / cop / mortician vein. The book is twisted beyond imagination and frankly I'm a bit concerned about Sachs' mental health.
We watch Sadie come unwound...seriously unwound. In a Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy sort of spiral...only funnier.
This is not Jen Lancaster funny, or Tina Fey, but it is dark and twisted and.....funny.
Though not for the faint of heart, it is a great read and twisted in all the best ways.
"An unnamed sense of dread........."
I was wearing jean cut offs by 7, a baby doll T shirt, trainers by Brooks, sunglasses by whoever and a Fitbit Force.........
I literally had to make myself listen to this all the way thru. It's considered a bit of a classic and I have always put off reading it for fear of disappointment......and I was hugely disappointed.
The book is laden with narcissism and obnoxious self indulgence of the Yuppie Gen. The constant details of what everyone and anyone was wearing to extreme detail was eye rollingly bad and annoying. I found the book offensive to the extreme, and not for the reasons you might think. The horrific sadistic psychotic murder spree was not as unsettling as you might imagine, I'm sure at the time it was originally published it was shocking, but so much of it is old hat now.
I was even more disappointed with the anticlimactic ending....that just seemed to dangle in nowhere land.
Frankly, and I don't think I have ever said this before.......The movie was great, wish I had not read the book.
"The Narrator ruined it for me"
The story itself is okay, I wish I had actually read this one instead of listening to it. It isn't my favorite Maya Banks, The characters are TOO damaged to let the story really heat up.
The real deal breaker though was the narration. Kylie is sooooo whiney I spent a good deal of time gritting my teeth thru her portions, And her man's tones, sounds a little like......well.....Forrest Gump. My internal loop kept playing "Run Forrest Run" and Stewie's "Mom Mom Mom Mommy Mommy Mommy." which made it a little tough to get into the parts that actually were hot.
"This IS Your Mother's Erotica"
Book one of the series had just enough character development that I bought this because I was actually interested in seeing what would unfold. Despite the fact that this is just another series with a kinky millionaire who must have his way, I was entertained.
Now, I am approximately 1/4 of the eye rolling way thru this book and I have had all the "thrusting manhood", "Shattering Core", and "Pulsing womanhood" I can stand.
This is one average length novel, chopped into three teeth clenchingly bad novella's to collect 3 credits.
The narrator is better in Submit, but her tone is so low that you really have to focus on listening because any other noise in the house or car seems to drown her out.....thankfully I won't have to worry about that because I have had all the "lengthy shaft" I can stomach.
"What the ........ ???"
The Damaged Dominant seems to be a running theme these days, but this one pushes that beyond the norm. The first book was enjoyable, this one...I wanted to choke the crap out of both of them.
He's a disaster......with obsessive behaviors that border on abusive. The adolescent wall / window punching, trying to separate her from friends and family, jealousy driven outbursts manipulations and assorted other generally creepy attributes just start to grate on you about half way through. I'm not even delving into the Binge drinking / I'm not an alcoholic thread.
Her acceptance of his sabotaging her career, beating up random men, and karmic backlash of his "reckless" Life are just a little much.
Perhaps if we didn't push so hard for the trilogy this might have been ok......I would rather read one great book then three with random made up issues that border on psychosis to fill space.

More Ranching Custom and Culture. Dead Wildlife in Water Troughs.
Last week, Katie Fite and I travelled to Nevada to inspect several grazing allotments and attend a BLM meeting in Winnemucca and a BLM field trip in the Ely District. While passing through the Union Mountain Allotment in the Elko District we came across a series of water troughs which didn't have the required wildlife escape ladders. We didn't take any video of the first trough we found, which contained the carcasses of several dead birds and was dry, but the second and third troughs both had water and contained several dead birds and small mammals.
The lack of wildlife escape ladders in water troughs on public lands is a violation of the mandatory terms and conditions of the grazing permit but also a violation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act which was enacted in 1918 to protect birds which migrate through the US, Canada, and Mexico.
While not all water troughs lack wildlife escape ladders, there are untold thousands of livestock water troughs on federal public lands which do. Even when the troughs do have escape ladders they are often inadequate because the troughs are so large that the birds or small mammals drown before they ever find them. We found such a trough in the Grant Range a few days later with a warbler, grosbeak, and two small mammals.

Frank Renn says:
A few years I went on a tour of water troughs on grazing allotments near Malad. Before the tour begin, the B.L.M. representative made contact to inform us he could not make the tour, no surprise there. At the first few stops we found no drowned wildlife. This was odd as their were either no wildlife escape ladders or the ones present were in various stages of falling apart. Then we came up with the following, how far can one throw a "soggy bird"? We fanned out in a circle around the next trough and bingo plenty of dead birds. The one I will always remember was a female Kestrel carrying a fully formed egg. What happened here? You fill in the blanks. I think the "good old boy network" was alive and well.
Jerry Black says:
Thanks Ken……will you please post a link to the regulations mandating these escape ladders…design etc?
I see this here in Montana quite often and I'll take pictures in the future. -
WM says:
Are trough violations materially sufficient violations of the terms and conditions of a grazing permit to terminate it?
If violation(s) are noted, is there duty to cure by the holder of the grazing permit, and/or is there any remedy by notifiying either FWS as enforcement agent under the Migratory Birds Act, or a County/NV Health Department?
Is there any other leverage that can be applied to get these guys to clean up their messes/attractive nuisances for disease (especially when one considers avian vectors to move disease around easily)?
Thanks for the informative video. Good job.
Trough violations, if included in terms & conditions, are certainly sufficient grounds to terminate a permit. Usually a warning (about any violation of T&C) strengthens a manager's hand in the event that termination is challenged. Usually, if a permittee fails to tend to the trough, there are other issues on the allotment as well that could be sited in any enforcement action. Most allotments are failing to meet or make significant progress toward meeting their respective rangeland standards and guidelines. Managers hold broad discretion to terminate permit for failure to comply with terms & conditions. On the ground – it doesn't happen – agency is captured.
Other trough mishaps that violate the law include the malfunctioning or other failures to maintain valves that halt water once the basin is full of water. Water spilling onto the ground or otherwise wasted violates state water law as a misappropriation of water – at least in Idaho. A snap-shot of an overflowing water trough can be forwarded state officials.
Daniel Berg says:
Is the BLM subject to any kind of agency audit to determine the level of compliance with its own mandate? I'm sure they're subject to a GAO audit, but I'm not sure about anything beyond that?
Jon Marvel has frequently called for a federal mandate to install a BLM ombudsman but no such internal accountability exists. federal legislators prompt GAO investigations – but the results do little in a political environment dominated by western extractive interests. i can get ahold of the last one done via the GAO but it's been awhile – it's a right-wing political atmosphere so in recent times the GAO has been busy investigating environmental public oversight organizations like CBD & WWP for Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA) receipts to try to validate Karen Budd-Falen's absurd allegations of environmental groups riding the alleged EAJA gravy train on citizen enforcement. Ultimately, the best source of BLM accountability has been the APA and citizen suit provisions of various environmental laws that allow us – the public – to challenge BLM administration of public lands from outside of agency – EAJA helps make that possible as otherwise we'd be put down by exorbitant legal fees as we tried to take on the legions of government lawyers at the Dept. of Justice.
Simply put – no, there is no internal audit of BLM's compliance with the law – it's up to us – third-party public organizations – and our members' contributions and insights to bring compliance with the law.
I have seen dead birds in troughs throughout the Big Lost River Valley in Idaho. Most ranchers want you to think they care about the environment, but their actions speak louder than their words. Too many of the water troughs are fed by springs that have been boxed in and piped to the troughs. The springs are no longer available to wildlife.
wolfsong says:
Am I understanding correctly that ALL water troughs/tanks are required under the grazing permits to have ladders? This also applies to Forest Service permits?
What is the best way to handle a violation when you see it? I know of at least 2.
Yes, this does apply to Forest Service permits because it is required by the MTBA. I would recommend contacting US Fish and Wildlife Service Law Enforcement to report such violations.
I used to work with US Fish and Wildlife Service Special Agents in Kansas on violations of the Migratory Bird Treaty, particularly in brine tanks near oil wells, which killed neotropical migratory birds as well as other wildlife.
What's important to do if you want a successful prosecution, is to GPS the location, take photos, take notes, particularly if you can count and identify the birds, but don't take the birds out of the tank, or take possession of the birds or their remains (it is illegal). Then contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Special Agent In Charge or the Field Agents. Don't tip others off, it will just muddy the successful enforcement of the Federal law and treaty.
I have also seen dead bats, small mammals, amphibians, and non-migratory birds like quail and pheasants, which are not covered by this Federal law, but might be under State laws and other laws and permits that govern the wildlife traps. Rock doves (pigeons), starlings, and English sparrows don't count.
The FS and BLM are certainly aware of these hazards and educate their own employees and permittees on how to prevent unnecessary wildlife deaths from these nuisance tanks, cisterns, and troughs. It would be interesting to challenge them for not doing something in a ranger district or BLM Field Office to prevent these wildlife nuisances from persisting.
The stock tanks and troughs that I have seen lately in Idaho are also growing nuisance mosquitoes, many of which are carrying West Nile Virus and West Nile Encephalitis. As we know, West Nile Virus is taking a heavy toll on many species of birds including sage-grouse, which warrant listing under ESA, but even tiny hummingbirds.
Another type of correctable nuisance wildlife killers on public lands are outhouses with ventilation pipes. Seems like FS knows that these pipes can become deathtraps for birds and bats, but they also know how to retrofit them for pocket change.
The biggie on Public Lands (FS & BLM) is barbed wire fencing. For sage-grouse, wire fences are often deadly, but can be improved with flashy additions that add to their visibility. Even though BLM and FS have policies on fencing, little of it is in effect or enforced. Again, you as public lands users need to document and voice your concerns. When Ken and I attended a recent US Sheep Experiment Station field research tour in Dubois, ID, the USDA-Agricultural Research Services (ARS) that owns and manages the property admitted to collisions of sage-grouse with their over-abundance of fencing used to control sheep in experimental paddocks. However, they did not seem to know how many and do not even conduct fence mortality inventories nor make their fences more visible to the imperiled sage-grouse, even though they are proud of the high density of leks on their managed public lands.
Finally, from my experiences in the San Luis Valley, Colorado where the FWS tried repeatedly to establish a conservation population of whooping cranes to fly with the sandhill cranes that migrate between Canada and Idaho and New Mexico, wires, particularly guy wires and power lines are particularly deadly, especially during take-offs and landings for the big birds. When Katie Fite and I toured the Jarbidge Desert on the Idaho-Nevada border earlier this year, we noted the incredible number of unmarked guy wires on the MET towers for the proposed China Mountain wind farm on public lands. Sure it is windy and they seem to need wires to keep the towers from blowing over, but in the meantime flying sage-grouse, other birds, and bats are placed at unnecessary risk. Again, let the BLM and others know how you are concerned about unnecessary and preventable wildlife killings from ignoring Best Management Practices.
WM says:
Not to get too far off topic, but your work with FWS field agents recalled for me an interesting experience. I spoke at a conference in Wilmington, Delaware years ago. I met a couple of gung ho FWS enforcement guys there. They invited me to Annapolis, MD that weekend, where I stayed at the home of one of the agents, his wife and two kids. The next day my host got a call from his supervisor to do a midnight enforcement raid on Chesepeake Bay, and he received clearance for me to go along. It seems they got a tip one of the nasty industries on the Bay was going to do some midnight wastewater discharge dumping in violation of their NPDES permit. The plan was to take photos, and arrest any personnel found near the discharge site. I think it was industrial sludge with heavy metals and solvents. All of it lethal the fish and wildlife in the Bay.
In advance of the scheduled midnight activity, we went to a poker party (other FWS agents), and we, of course, drank non-alcoholic beverages until about 11PM (although I do remember being handed one beer early in the evening), then went down to the boat. These guys were pretty heavily armed, and had enough camera gear and spotlights to make it look like a sizeable force. Very windy that night on the Bay with lots of chop, so after surveying the situation for the better part of an hour in hopes the wind would die down, which it did not, the raid was cancelled. I was very disappointed. I received no word whether the discharge occurred, or whether they got the alleged violators if they dumped. These guys, I will add, were very dedicated and bright chaps. Wish I had kept in touch with them.
When you were in the San Luis Valley, did you know Ralph Curtis at the Water Conservancy, have dealings with the Baca Grande Ranch or the adjacent Great Sand Dunes National Monument?

Advice given by health-care professionals to mothers concerning subsequent pregnancy after stillbirth. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 20225985 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
We studied the advice mothers with stillbirths were given concerning a suitable time to become pregnant. A questionnaire was sent in 2001 to mothers with a stillbirth at one of five hospitals in the Stockholm region in Sweden. At three months follow-up, 33 mothers participated and at 12 months 31. The advices varied from waiting one to 12 months. Eleven mothers were advised to trust their own feelings of readiness and six were advised to wait until they had dealt with their grief before becoming pregnant. At one year post-loss, most of the mothers felt that a suitable time for a subsequent pregnancy was as soon as the mother herself wanted. Mothers whose baby had died in utero were given radically different kinds of advice concerning a suitable time for a subsequent pregnancy. The best advice seems to be that the mother should wait until she, herself, feels ready. |

Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar has appointed Gopinath Munde as Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on the recommendation of Leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj.
By precedent and practice over the last several decades, the PAC has been headed by a member of the main Opposition party.
In the current Lok Sabha, the PAC was constituted on August 6, 2009, and on the recommendation of the then Leader of the Opposition, L.K. Advani, Jaswant Singh became the PAC Chairman.
Later, Mr. Singh was expelled by the BJP after he released his book on Pakistan founder Mohammad Ali Jinnah. The BJP tried to get him relinquish his position, but Mr. Singh refused to do so. However, at the end of the last session of Parliament, he decided to quit his post, noting that he had made the point that the BJP could not take it for granted that it could recommend changing the PAC Chairman as and when it wished to do so.
Lok Sabha rules envisage appointments to the PAC for not more than one year. The Speaker's notification has specified that Mr. Munde's chairmanship will end on April 30, 2010, the rest of Mr. Singh's tenure.
Ms. Swaraj had indicated that in April the issue of chairmanship of the committees that are with the BJP will be "re-visited."
During Mr. Singh's tenure (between August 6 and December 31, 2009), the PAC presented seven reports to Parliament.

According to results of a survey released Tuesday, 97 percent of school leaders who took part say the federal law's top aim of math and reading proficiency by 2014 is unattainable.
Principals across Minnesota don't think it is possible for the state's schools to meet the goals set out in the federal No Child Left Behind law, according to a survey released Tuesday by the St. Paul-based think tank Minnesota 2020 and the state's principal associations.
According to the survey, 97 percent of responding principals say that the law's main goal, to have every student proficient on math and reading tests by 2014, is unattainable.
More than 70 percent of the principals say their schools spend more time and resources on test preparation in the law's wake, and 40 percent say they have taken away class time from arts and other subjects.
"What No Child Left Behind is increasingly doing is causing our very limited resources to be allocated for assessment," said Joann Knuth, executive director of the Minnesota Association of Secondary School Principals.
About 740 of the state's roughly 1,800 principals responded to the online, opt-in survey in December.
Minnesota 2020 was founded by Matt Entenza, the former DFL leader of the Minnesota House who is also exploring a 2010 run for governor. Members of the Minnesota Elementary School Principals' Association and the Minnesota Association of Secondary School Principals participated.
According to the 2001 No Child Left Behind law, states need to test how different student groups fare in school. If one group -- such as special education students -- fails to meet test targets, the whole school is labeled as not making "adequate yearly progress."
For schools receiving federal Title I money, failure means penalties that increase over time, from having to offer transfers and tutoring, to restructuring an entire school.
The proficiency level required each year is a moving target -- by 2014, the law says, every student group in the country is supposed to pass the tests, which in Minnesota come in the form of the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments-II, the MCA-II.
In 2008, just under half of the state's 1,951 schools did not meet targets on the state tests.
According to the survey, just under 85 percent of the principals think that the MCA-II is not an effective measure of student academic achievement.
Chas Anderson, deputy commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Education, said in a statement that the law and the state's "rigorous academic standards and accountability system" were created with bipartisan support.
She said the department and Minnesota education leaders, including school administrators, have made several recommendations to Congress to improve the federal law.
"It would be a serious mistake to turn back the clock on efforts to prepare every student for success. Our system of education accountability must be built on the idea that every student has a right to high expectations."
Asked whether his thoughts about running for governor may have affected the survey, Entenza said, "This survey was done on principals, not on me." He said he hasn't decided whether to run yet.
Of the survey, he said, "The numbers speak for themselves."

The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality is reviewing a plan to deal with a degreasing solvent that was detected in groundwater at a recently shuttered Whirlpool plant in Fort Smith.
A company called ENVIRON submitted a final remedy work plan to the state environmental agency this week on behalf of Benton Harbor, Mich.-based Whirlpool Corp.
The plan comes decades after Whirlpool ceased using trichloroethylene at the Fort Smith site.
The Environmental Protection Agency says inhalation exposure to trichloroethylene can affect the human central nervous system.
However, Whirlpool says no one is drinking or touching the contaminated groundwater or breathing its vapors.
Whirlpool manufactured refrigerators and trash compactors at the site until last year.
The latest plan for dealing with trichloroethylene contamination calls for chemical oxidant injections and continued monitoring.
Ark. agency reviews plan for closed Whirlpool site

Much of western military thinking has traditionally assumed that conflicts will involve conventional warfare against an opponent of comparable might, using similar weapons on a known battlefield.
However, military experts have been pointing out for years that resistance forces in places like Chechnya have been conducting a very different kind of war, in which defenders fight on their own terms, not those of the enemy — petrol bombs against tanks, for example. This has been given the name of asymmetrical warfare by counter-terrorism experts, a term that appears to date from the early 1990s. In it, a relatively small and lightly equipped force attacks points of weakness in an otherwise stronger opponent by unorthodox means. All guerrilla activity, especially urban terrorism, falls within this definition.
The attacks on the US on 11 September are a textbook example and the term has had wide coverage since. Some writers extend the idea to any military situation in which a technically weaker opponent is able to gain an advantage through relatively simple means. An obvious example is the landmine — cheap and easy to distribute, but difficult to counter. Another example sometimes given is anti-satellite attacks, in which it is much easier and cheaper to knock out space-based weapons than to put them in place to start with.
Welcome to the world of asymmetrical warfare, a place high on the anxiety list of military planners. In the asymmetrical realm, military experts say, a small band of commandos might devastate the United States and leave no clue about who ordered the attack.
New York Times, Feb. 2001
In this asymmetrical warfare, the weak terrorist attacker has the advantages of selectivity and surprise; the powerful defender must strive to prevent attacks on many fronts.

An upcoming serial promises to showcase Akbar's transformation from a warrior to a benevolent king
Television has had its share of historical and mythological serials. While the success of Tipu Sultan is truly memorable, there have been other popular serials like Akbar The Great, Jhansi Ki Rani, Veer Shivaji and so on. Aiming to continue in the lofty tradition is Santram Verma who will be directing the show Jodha Akbar. The serial has no correlation with the film of the same name which starred Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai. It is much more low key with Rajat Tokas playing the lead role of Akbar.
Only 22-year-old, Rajat, a Delhi boy, has earlier done many serials but playing the role of Akbar is going to be the most challenging one in his career. He was understandably shy and at a loss for words in his media interaction at Zee studios in Noida.
Rajat started his acting career as an eight-year-old. "I was swimming in a pool with my dad when a director of a show spotted me there and asked, if I was interested in acting. It was in the year 1998. The name of the show was Ek Nazar Ki Tamanna which was televised on Doordarshan. Before this I never had an idea of choosing acting as a career. Rajat was last seen on television playing the role of Prithviraj Chauhan. Says Rajat, "This one is going to be my fourth lead role in just eight years. Before this I have played lead roles in shows like Dharam Veer, Tere Liye and Prithvi Raj Chauhan. I feel playing Akbar will be the most challenging one. Akbar's role is a powerful one. I have to give my best, nothing less than 100 per cent. I have not gone through any history books nor have I seen Akbar's character elsewhere. I just try to observe things, rest depends on the director". Being an expert in martial arts and horse riding gave him an edge over others in getting this role. Paridhi Sharma will be playing the character of Jodha.
Produced by Balaji Tele Films, Jodha Akbar promises to showcase Akbar's journey from being Akbar the Warrior to Akbar The Great. The show will highlight how it was Jodha's love that had a calming influence on him, transforming him froma brave warrior to a benevolent king and a better ruler with great appreciation for art, culture and love for his people.
The show will be aired on Zee TV every Monday to Friday at 8 p.m. starting 18th June.
Keywords: Jodha Akbar, Akbar portrayal, Rajat Tokas

Gazing into an abyss of hamburgers, eyebrows, and coffeeDestructoid's love affair with the inimitable, idiosyncratic Deadly Premonition is a point of public record. Jim's infamous, glowing, 10/10 review turned a lot of people onto the game -- myself included -- and for that we are as thankful as Resident Evil 6 are indignant. Or, if you're playing along at home, substitute any game that we score low. "[x] gets a [y] when Deadly Premonition gets a 10," the commenter scoffs and chortles into his Cheetos.

Outdoor Copper Fire Pit
Beautiful looking fire pit
Glad I bought this item. Looks great on our outdoor patio. Should have purchased the fire screen with it - added it later. Only gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because it doesn't burn all the logs to the end. Thought it could be because the pit itself is quite large, but it could also be "operator error". I'm new to this and have only used the fire pit twice so far.
December 8, 2014
outdoor copper fire pit
Very nice quality for the cost. Copper bowl is large enough to make a decent fire. Anti-rust cast aluminum scroll is very pretty and classic looking. Hoping that the base (believe made from thin steel) doesn't rust, if so, will just spray with rust-o-leum next season. Light weight so easy to clean and move around. Bought cover (water repellent) and screen. Wish came with tall screen as well to use while fire is burning, to control burning ashes that sometimes fly out (if use newspaper to start fire). Wish had a few more drain holes in bottom of bowl to drain water if rain gets in it. Recommend not placing logs against copper edge (area that is flat around top of bowl) because it will darken from the burning wood.) As expected, the bowl on the bottom inside & outside will darken from burning wood, but looks fine. Received compliments on fire pit.

Simply Awesome
Seriously, this is the best purchase we have ever made online. Beautiful, functional and easy to assemble. Shipping was super fast and it arrived in flawless condition. We would not hesitate to purchase from grandinroad.com again.

Great fire pit!
Product arrived just as pictured. Very nice looking fire pit, good size, very sturdy. We had debated about this purchase since it is a little pricier than other fire pits we were looking at, but we decided to go for it, and are glad we did. Product is of high quality, and I think worth the price. We have used it twice now and works well!
May 5, 2014
Excellent item. Easy to put together. Wonderful to look at and use. Glad I bought the protective cover and not the metal top.

Great Pit!
Well built of solid materials. Sturdy and beautiful. A true accent piece to my outdoor decor!
September 18, 2013
Beautiful design
We have had this fire pit for about a month and have used it a dozen times. It is large enough to get a good fire going - and looks beautiful in use and sitting on the patio. I would recommend it!
August 10, 2013
Beautiful At This Time
I purchased this fire pit after looking for a long time. I really like the way it looks. I have an untraditional fireplace with this pit sitting on top of a stone ledge; it's heavy so it won't slide or flip in high winds. The only negative thing I have to say about it is I have only had it a few weeks and its already rusting. We did have a few rainy days but I didn't expect the paint to fail so soon. The copper bowl had some imperfections in it when I got it, but was acceptable. Now after the rain the bowl has dark spots with dark streaks running down into the bowl. I am wondering if it's a metal base coated or dipped in copper instead of solid. It may not be but appears to be. I still like it; time will tell if it holds up.

What is the best way to care for the copper basin - to prevent tarnish and rust?
1 year ago
Thank you for your interest in Grandin Road. The copper of the Fire Pit will naturally patina with age. To keep the fire pit clean and free of tarnish, a natural scrub can be used:•Whole lemon
•Kosher salt for cookware or plain pieces
•Table salt for delicate, embossed, or engraved pieces
To clean and polish:
1.Cut the lemon in half, and dip the cut end into the appropriate salt.
2.Scrub the copper piece with the salt-covered lemon, using circular motions, until all the tarnish is gone. Reapply salt to your cut lemon as needed.
3.Rinse the copper piece thoroughly with warm water.
4.Dry the piece with a soft cloth or towel.
5.Use a second dry, clean cloth, buff using circular motions to polish the piece to a soft glow. The more you buff, the shinier the finish.

frankzarzar8 5pts I have always owned Toyotas, new and used. My 1997 Avalon is boxy looking for sure but, This black beauty was bought for $7,000 seven years ago with 65000 mi. Now its well over 200,000, runs like new, has leather, huge moon roof, six speed automatic, traction control and all the amenities available at that time. The higher end the used auto, the better it was probably cared for and things don't break like on the cheaper cars. Never had to replace wheel bearings, radiator, water pumps, alternators, electrics. The only expensive maintenance item is the valve timing belt and all the belts at every 60,000 miles. The oil is never dirty! On the highway I get about 27mpg with the proven six. I don't have the money to throw at a new Avalon, but I will be waiting about 5 years then pick one up! Advertising is what it is. The Chrysler is all show and BIG repair bills. Ford trucks seem fine, the Fusion to, but 80% of 20 year old Toyotas are still on the road for a reason, and my car could last forever, at least as long as I pass it down to one of my kids!
FrankyToyota 5pts You mean like the Impala and it's inferior suspension that the "new" GM refuses to acknowledge and stand behind because it was "old" GM's fault? Or like the Volt and it's inferior plug-in and spontaneous combustion battery pack? Buddy, look it up. In regards to Toyota's unreliability, we are the most dependent, most fuel efficient manufacturer that doesn't require a bailout to stay in business. It's kinda sad when our 'import" brand builds the #1 most American made car (Camry) while your Malibu is third, our Tundra is 9 and your Sierra or Silverado are nowhere to be seen and our Sienna outranks your Uplander which isn't even in the top ten either. Plus our resale speaks for itself. @PearlRider should have a Necklace in their somewhere.
mr lexus 5pts I've always loved the avalon inh a weird way but to turn it into a flagship truly worthy of the toyota flagship name is a good move go toyota
cali-lifer 5pts I'm a ford guy, I'll admit im the past Toyota got my attention with the Tacoma, tundra, fj, and the last Camry when I saw them for the first time. When I saw them driving they didn't look the same anymore. I think it's their dam advertising and the fact that there's no real performance coming out of them to speak for itself, but they flood the tv with commercials, so I think they age faster than less advertised cars. So, I don't expect anything that will compromise longevity or durability like no performance or
PearlRider 5pts Who cares. Toyletta builds nothing but unreliable junk. When is the next recall? GM rules
bdean 5pts That's OK - the Sonata, Optima and new Fusion make the new Camry already laughable and ugly. And considering the new Avalon looks to have an oversized hexa-shaped lower grill up front (much like the typical Hyundai up front), I wouldn't exactly be counting on the new Avalon to be winning any design awards,.
bdean 5pts Unlike say for the new Camry. Interesting that Toyota took a page from the Sonata and Azera and gave the new Avalon a sloping roofline and slick greenhouse while they kept the Camry as stodgy as ever.
celica21gtfour 5pts Toyota's 4-door coupe or called "Hardtop Sedan" was very popular in Japan back in 1980s & 1990s. Basically it's a sportier version sedan with pillarless windows & lower roof. The Lexus ES300 was one example that came to US. The most fun to drive Toyota Hardtop Sedan was Carina ED with 3S-GE engine. It was also available as 4WD, shared the chassis & handling characteristic with the awesome ST205 Celica GT-Four.
Benjamin Raucher 5pts Nice looking car Toyota is a company that needs more style like Mazda. Just my opinion BENJAMIN RAUCHER
Iny 5pts I love Toyota but I will hold judgement until I see the actual car. A drawing of a car always look amazing. What about in real life?
rt8419 5pts I love Toyota and always will be a Toyota fan..BUT...they could've applied a more aggressive styling on the Camry and not hold it for their low volume Avalon...Camry is their bread and butter, I'm sure it will still outsell the competition even with all the new ones coming out but still, this design direction was needed in that car.
Eric 5pts I work for Toyota, and like I said, a while back, that the 2013 Toyota Avalon will be the FIRST Toyota to have Akio Toyodas Influence. Can't wait to see the reactions. Hopefully the haters will like it! It looks like a concept! It will be revealed in the NY Auto Show or April 5th
rt8419 5pts This just might do it..Avalon has been in need of an edgier styling and more performance..hope this is it. It's been catered for the elderly for too long. I still won't be interested though, it's too big for me.
Nick 5pts "get hybrid a powertrain, which would likely be needed to beat the Fiat 500's fuel economy of 30/38 mpg city/highway"... I didn't realize a full-size sedan was competing with a micro-compact.... Regardless, this sketch is very promising. Maybe "all new" really does apply to the new Avalon. Excited for the reveal!
frankzarzar8 5pts @celica21gtfour I had a new, gunmetal gray 1992 Celica GT. In my opinion this car had the best lines of any Toyota so far.

That's sooooooo cool! We had a double rainbow form on my farm the weekend before last. They are supposedly very rare. Strange coincidence? (Check my pictures)
Yeah, I saw that! So cool. :)

Re: Disappointments in doom 3
vampireuk and I have settled this thing in a civil manner.
To start with, I want to clarify that if my speech seemed abrasive it was merely to further my point, not to attack any board members. It isn't my intention to insult anyone, merely to debate my views. I do apologize to those who felt insulted by my posts.
With that said, I stand by my comments. My point is that the people complaining about Doom 3 are doing so with blatant disregard to its merits. This creates the impression that the game is riddled with problems and not worth the money. While this may be your opinion, it is not shared by many others when compared to the current base of people who have played Doom 3 and my point is that WE GET IT, you don't like it. Enough already. From an objective perspective it isn't as bad as you say and I still challenge any one of you to actually respond to the points I make in my posts rather than making off-topic remarks. And D.K.Tronics, I agree that people should be allowed to post their views on a subject. However, if someone disagrees with you, they too should be allowed to express their views. I made a blanket attack on Doom 3-haters and backed it up with valid points to which no one has yet responded. In a debate, that's what we'd call "winning". Read LiquidX's post as well, as he makes some very good points.
By the way, vampireuk did not ban me for disagreeing strongly. The PMs I sent him were extremely inflammatory and I deserved what I got, but like I said, we settled it between ourselves. He's not some brutal facist admin or anything.

Director: Jack Stephen
Company: CDI Home Video
Marilyn Rose, Joey Silvera, Mike Horner, Lauri Landry, Lauren Brice
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
Director Jack Stephen (aka Nasty Jack to you fans of amateur) is quickly developing his own style: small casts, sparse sets and somewhat cryptic scripts. This one is no exception. There seems to be an Aladdin-type lamp. It appears in each scene, but no one person seems to possess it. People just keep snapping their fingers and members of the opposite sex appear. So much for the plot.
Lauren Brice, easily the handsomest woman in adult video today, has, sadly, only one scene. But cutie Marilyn Rose and Lauri Landry who has ben used sparingly over her six months in the business, make up for that in quantity. The highlight is the middle section threesome which becomes a girl-girl when Joey magically disappears and then turns into a foursome with the help of the lamp. Imagination is not totally dead. Since there is no story to be sustained, the short running time is appropriate and just fits. A decent vehicle, but let's see more of Lauren Brice.
