ADA Info
I hope you had a chance to take last week's challenge. With all the news zipping at us from all directions these days, it was nice to be reminded that peeling it off the page is not just a viable option, but in many ways a better one. I had a chance to whittle down the stack of New Yorkers gathering dust on the nightstand. That's right, The New Yorker isn't just a collection highbrow of cartoons. It features some of the best long-form journalism going today by writers like Susan Orlean and John McPhee among many others.
Ok! Onto this week's challenge! We're moving from earthbound facts to the far reaches of space. We want you to read something out of this world. There are an almost infinite number of directions you can go with this one. How about some straight-ahead, blow-your-mind space travel science fiction, like Firebird by Jack McDevitt, or Leviathans of Jupiter by the prolific and always reliable Ben Bova. Or you can go for some straight-head, blow-your-mind out-of-this-world nonfiction, like Everywhere and Everywhen: Adventures in Physics and Philosophy by Nick Huggett. Or you could go with a more nuts-and-bolts approach, like the Apollo Mission Reports. Or you could reach back to the beginnings of U.S. space exploration and the people who made it happen with Tom Wolfe's still stylish, The Right Stuff. Whatever you choose, leave us a comment and let us know about it!
"Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening" and "The Road Not Taken" still hover near the top of any list of America's best-loved poems. Frost's hard-eyed New England practicality, craggy jaw, snow white hair, and the singularly apt surname to go with them represent in many people's minds everything an American poet should be—none of those twee, beret-wearing types for us!--It doesn't hurt his continuing popularity that he worked in forms as solid and stolid as New Hampshire granite.
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Library: I've always found it fascinating that so many of our funniest artists lead such unhappy private lives: think comedians like Buster Keaton, W. C. Fields, and Lenny Bruce, or writers like John Kennedy Toole, and Dorothy Parker. So for last week's challenge to read about someone who intrigues us, I read the recently published biography of one of my all-time favorite seriously funny writers, Kurt Vonnegut.
But with this week's challenge, we want to lighten things up a bit. We challenge you to read something that makes you laugh, and HCPL has plenty of books that fit that bill. We've got nonfiction that will make you titter, snicker, giggle, chuckle, chortle, snort and guffaw, like Tina Fey's Bossypants, and David Sedaris' Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim.
I loved last week's challenge and hope you did too. Not all of us have the money, time or inclination to travel to distant lands. I know it's trite, but books really do allow us to visit those places from the comfort of our easy chairs without the hassles of security screenings, chatty cabbies who insist on taking the scenic route and that whole foreign language thing. I read Watermark by the Russian poet, Joseph Brodsky, a dark, intensely lyrical meditation on the city of Venice.
Now, on to this week's challenge! We limbered up a bit with all that globe-trotting last week, so we should be in shape for something that's active in a different way. This week we challenge you to read about a competition. There are lots of directions you can go with this one. You could (re)read the Hunger Games Trilogy, or one of the many great baseball novels like The Natural by Bernard Malamud or Bang the Drum Slowly by Mark Harris.
I hope you liked last week's challenge to revisit a childhood favorite as much as I did. I dug out some of my old Classics Illustrated and gorged my way down memory lane: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Frankenstein and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. (yeah, I was kind of a creepy kid).
This week, let's saddle up and read a book about Texas, by a Texas author or set in Texas. I encourage you to learn a bit more about the Lone Star State's singular history; enjoy one of our great tale-spinners like Larry McMurtry, Mary Willis Walker or Cormac McCarthy; swoon over a rugged Texas hero; or--in the spirit of all great Texans--strike out on your own and find something that fits you like a good pair a boots. Whatever you choose, let us know about it!
We know, parents, we know. It seems like every time you turn around there's another talking head telling you that your child needs to do this and do that, or else...well...the talking head shudders to think of the dire consequences for your kid's future. Of course, this all plays on your natural fears, and of course, you would do anything to help little Joe or Jolene grow up to be a happy, successful adult, so you play Mozart around the clock even though both you and your child would rather listen to something just a little more funky, you flash flashcards at the breakfast table, you tilt the foot of the bed up 3 degrees so that the blood circulating through that precious little body bathes the pituitary gland. The end result? You're exhausted, your kid is bewildered, and a new talking head is lurking inside the TV waiting to pounce the next time you turn it on.
Pulitzer Prize winning poet Natasha Trethewey has been named the 19th U. S. Poet Laureate. She succeeds Philip Levine as the country's guardian of, and cheerleader-in-chief for the genre.
Trethewey is the author of four books of poetry and a collection of creative nonfiction. In addition to the Pulitzer, her honors include fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. She teaches literature and creative writing at Emory University in Atlanta.
For a lot of area residents, audiobooks have made their daily commutes, time on the treadmill, weekend yard work, or just lazing by the pool a lot more entertaining, and Smartphones, tablets and mp3 players have made listening to a bestseller or an old favorite unbelievably convenient. So it is no surprise that the popularity of audiobooks has soared in recent years.
Harris County Public Library has always done its best to keep ahead of demand and soon HCPL customers will have an even wider selection of downloadable audiobooks to choose from, including some of today's hottest titles by authors like Stephen King, Charlaine Harris, Alexander McCall Smith and Anne Tyler.
Carlos Fuentes who passed away last week at the age of 83 left behind a multifaceted legacy that most writers can only dream of. Up until the very day he died, he was an active, larger-than-life presence in the literary, political, social and intellectual life of his native México, and one imagines his influence will still be felt long after the memory of him as a flesh and blood human being is gone.
He was lionized in his own country, but his influence on the literary environment in this one should not be underestimated. It was Fuentes, along with Gabriel García Márquez, Mario Vargas Llosa and Julio Cortázar, who, sometime around 1975, shouldered their way up to that big table in the back of Elaine's and demanded to be seated.

Originally written on CU at the Game | Last updated 11/16/14
Colorado Daily – Washington November 12th Colorado opens as a three-touchdown underdog against Washington The Buffs, fresh off of beating the spread against Arizona (CU was a 28-point underdogs, and only lost by 25!), have a new challenge this weekend. Colorado is listed as a 20-point underdog to Washington. Pro – Washington, before scoring 34 against Utah last Saturday, had only scored over 21 points in one game this fall (52 v. Portland State). The Huskies have averaged only 15.5 points in four road games this season, with a high of 21. Con – Two of Washington's previous four road games were against LSU and Oregon, which boast significantly better defenses that that of Colorado. Last season, with much the same offensive arsenal as this year, Washington scored on every first half possession against Colorado in building a 38-10 halftime lead. Against the Buffs, the Huskies wound up with a 52-24 victory, the first time Washington scored more than 50 points in a game in over ten yea...

1. 5 bath, outdoor shower, quiet neighborhood, near Vineyard Haven grocery, Black Dog, Putt-Putt, Waterworks park of Lake Tashmoo. See VineyardCape.com for more photos.
Wonderful quite home. The location was beautiful, the landscape was well taken. On a daily basis we watch the parade of wild turkeys. The home was well clean and it had all of the amenities needed. We really enjoyed our stay and will return again next year.
The house was quiet, clean and had all the needed provisions for cooking meals and for video game enthusiasts. There was plenty of room and the location was central to wherever we chose to go for the day. The neighborhood was quiet and the back deck view was calming. We enjoyed our stay.
I'm really happy with choice we made for a stay at the Vinyard. I know the Vinyard pretty well and have enjoyed homes and hotels across the cost spectrum. Everything is as-stated in the description. My friend took the downstairs bedroom and full-bath which gave her access to the kitchen, being a night owl. I took over the two bedrooms upstairs, using one as a dressing room, and the half-bath. For bathing I enjoyed the hot outdoor shower. We both had a lot of privacy and space. We loved the backyard and spent long hours star-gazing and sunbathing. The grocery is a short walk and has everything. The island bus stops at the grocery, so you can get around. It's best not to plan too much running around- maybe one major outing for the day and a walk in the evening. Living room, TV, wifi - all good. The kitchen is very well equipped. If you have kids, the upstairs is perfect for 3 or 4 and you can take the downstairs. The owner is easygoing and fair and you should be too! This is a good deal for people who want to live like the locals and keep it simple and quiet. Laundry in the basement; pretty garden; area info and bus schedules. Enjoy!
Love, love, love Martha's Vineyard & Vineyard Haven. Cottage is charming. Very well kept & comfortable.
The homeowner is a pleasure to work with!
Nancy & Jim
Last summer was my first time at this home. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean, spacious and cozy it was. It was so nice to have clean linens and towels there ready to use, and to not have to bring them. The eat-in kitchen had all the amenities needed to cook and have coffee. The living room was so comfortable, as were the bedrooms. Every room had air conditioning. The yard was great for my dog, and there were many adjacent walking trails.The owners were very friendly and accommodating to the time I wanted to stay. I would highly recommend this rental, and have already let friends know about this hidden gem. P.G. Leominster, MA
This summer will be our eigth time returning to this house. We come every summer with our 2 young boys and yellow lab and this is a perfect house for a family. We can always count on the house to be spotless upon our arrival and nearly everything we need is provided for us (beach towels/chairs, outdoor grill, wifi, rain tarp for bikes). This is a very comfortable and cozy house and we love the safe location for biking and walking to downtown Vineyard Haven, and mini golfing and ice cream are right at the end of the street. Peggy is always a pleasure to work with and a few weeks before we go she sends us a detailed informational packet about the house and events on the island during the week of our stay. We have recommended this house to our friends who have also enjoyed their stay.
Full A/C, Back porch overlooks quiet sunset & woods. Wonderful outdoor shower, 1 mile from ferry, 2 blocks from main shopping, groceries, restaurants and mass transportation. Linens included, washer & dryer in basement. Cleaning included in the price.
Full bath downstairs, half bath upstairs.

This is a superb step above a traditional pumpkin pie. I've made it several times to rave reviews from family, friends, and colleagues alike. I've found a touch of nutmeg and cinnamon are nice additions to the crust, as well.
This is an excellent twist to a holiday classic. Much better and new than the traditional. Great flavor with the ginger. Everyone choice a piece of this one instead of the regular pumpkin pie sitting next to it!
This recipe I made two years ago and it has turned those who do normally like pumpkin pie into pumpkin pie lovers! I would use a little more spice in the pumpkin part than recipe calls for. The topping is incredible tasting but even more so the crust with ginger mixed in adds so much to this pie.I advise to take teh itme ot make the crust it is a no-fail crust recipe, easy to work with.
This is my favorite pumpkin pie recipe. We too have been making it since it first appeared in the magazine, and though we've tried other pumpkin pies, we always come back to this one. It's well worth the extra effort.
This is - hands down - the BEST pumpkin pie in the world. I've made it every Thanksgiving since reading it in Bon Appetit years ago. EVERYONE loves it and begs for more. Make it, you won't be dissappointed!!!!
After trying many Pumpkin Pie recipes for Thanksgiving through the years, I can say that this is one of the best I've tried. This will probably make it back to our dinner table again next year.
This pie was a hit, even with a store-bought crust. Next time I'll do it right and make the crust in the recipe.
incredibly good pie!!! It was eaten by all at Thanksgiving, and everyone wanted to take some home with them. I did use a regular Pillsbury pie crust to save time, and it was good, I will try the recipe next time though. To save time, I mixed all the dry ingredients for the filling in a baggie that I labelled, so it was quick to mix up the day before. I did the same with the streusel topping. I served it with some whipped cream with a little cinnamon in it - delicious. I will be making this every year! ***One tip I have to pass on- buy the crystallized ginger at Williams - Sonoma. It is $5 for 7 ounces- versus $8 for 2 ounces in a small jar at the grocery store!!
This recipe is a lot of work for the results. Next time I will make this well in advance... because there are too many steps when you are in a hurry... I preferred the Spirited Pumpkin Pie instead... If you want something that is different...they try it.

Exempla Saint Joseph Hospital Commences Treating Cancer Patients Using New TrueBeam(TM) System for High-Precision Image-Guided Radiotherapy and Radiosurgery
DENVER, Nov. 17, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — Exempla Saint Joseph Hospital in Denver is among the first medical centers in the world–and the first in Colorado–to commence treating cancer patients using the new TrueBeam(TM) system for image-guided radiotherapy and radiosurgery, a revolutionary new technology platform designed to target a moving tumor with unprecedented speed and accuracy.
TrueBeam, which is made by Varian Medical Systems (NYSE: VAR) of Palo Alto,( )delivers many forms of advanced treatments,( )including image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), RapidArc® radiotherapy and Gated RapidArc. "Each of these approaches is appropriate for a certain type of clinical challenge," said Mark Chidel, M.D., medical director for Radiation Oncology at Exempla Saint Joseph Hospital. "With this system, we have many more options for choosing the optimal approach for each of our patients, including those with challenging cancers of the lung, breast, abdomen, or head and neck."
Prostate cancer patients were the first to receive treatment at ESJH with the new TrueBeam system. "Treating the prostate is very complicated, especially when you need to cover the lymph nodes," said Dr. Chidel. "It lies very close to sensitive organs such as the bladder, rectum, and base of the penis. The image guidance and beam shaping capabilities of the TrueBeam system allow us to minimize radiation to these organs while still giving a high dose to the prostate."
High quality 3-D images, produced using the system's built-in imager, are used to fine-tune the patient's position prior to every treatment. "These images are accurate within millimeters, which is vitally important when you consider that the prostate is a mobile organ and people do not necessarily lie down in the same exact position day to day over a multi-week course of treatment," said Dr. Chidel. "Imaging is an essential part of modern-day, targeted radiotherapy, and this system allows us to minimize the X-ray dose we use to generate the images. That's good for patients."
Since installing the new system in mid-September, Exempla Saint Joseph clinicians have now used it to deliver radiotherapy treatments for head and neck, as well as prostate cancer, at conventional dose delivery rates. The next step will be to launch a program for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), two burgeoning subspecialties in radiation oncology that involve delivering very high doses to small lesions or metastases very quickly, over just one to five treatment sessions.
"The system offers us a High Intensity Mode that delivers dose up to four times faster than is possible with standard accelerators," Dr. Chidel said. "This makes it possible to utilize stereotactic treatment approaches in a time-efficient manner. We fully expect to treat more than 100 patients annually with stereotactic radiotherapy using high dose delivery rates, once that program is up and running."
Exempla Saint Joseph Hospital was the first site worldwide to deploy the TrueBeam system in a "mixed vendor" environment that utilizes a third-party oncology information system. "Varian technology operates within an open software architecture based on industry standards, which facilitate connectivity with third party solutions," said Karla Donohoe, senior marketing director for Varian's Oncology Systems business.
"I am really proud of my team and Varian's, for getting all parts of our system working together so we can provide a more efficient and effective level of patient care," said Karen McGraner, director, Radiation Oncology at Exempla St Joseph Hospital. "We're pleased to be able to offer our patients the most advanced forms of radiotherapy treatment available."
Originally established in Denver 137 years ago by the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, Kansas, today's 565-bed Exempla Saint Joseph Hospital is one of the most respected hospitals in Denver as part of the Exempla Healthcare and Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth Health System. The hospital serves more patients on an inpatient basis than any other in the Denver metropolitan area and is also the largest private teaching hospital in Denver. The hospital's Department of Radiation Oncology, one of the busiest facilities in Colorado, provided over 23,000 external radiotherapy treatments during 2009. Exempla's is committed to maintaining a comprehensive cancer program dedicated to clinical excellence and compassionate cancer care. For more information, visit www.exempla.org.
Varian Medical Systems, Inc., of Palo Alto, California, is the world's leading manufacturer of medical devices and software for treating cancer and other medical conditions with radiotherapy, radiosurgery, proton therapy, and brachytherapy. The company supplies informatics software for managing comprehensive cancer clinics, radiotherapy centers and medical oncology practices. Varian is a premier supplier of tubes and digital detectors for X-ray imaging in medical, scientific, and industrial applications and also supplies X-ray imaging products for cargo screening and industrial inspection.

Meaty Alaskan King Crab with Jumbo Shrimp and Flat Iron Steak
|For steak
|Flat iron steaks
|2 Medium (8- 12 ounce)
|Mad hunky rub
|2 Teaspoon
|Garlic powder
|1 Tablespoon (as per taste)
|Mrs dash steak seasoning
|To Taste
|For cajun butter sauce
|No salt butter stick
|1 1⁄2 Cup (24 tbs) (1 1/2 sticks)
|Mad hunky no salt rub
|To Taste
|1 Teaspoon, crushed
|Ground thyme
|1 Teaspoon
|Red pepper flake
|2 Teaspoon
|2 Clove (10 gm), chopped
|1 Cup (16 tbs) (1/2-1)
|Other ingredients
|Alaskan king crab legs
|1⁄2 Pound
|Medium jumbo shrimp
|1⁄2 Pound, deveined and shelled
1. Cut the steaks into desired portions.
2. Shake on some garlic powder, no salt Mad Hunky Meats rub and some Mrs. Dash. Steak seasoning.
3. Shake on a liberal amount of the rub and rub it into the meat so it has a nice coating.
4. Let season for one hour at room temperature.
5. Pre-Heat your cooker for grilling.
6. Prepare the Cajun butter sauce in a medium sauce pan by combining 1 1/2 cubes no salt butter, thyme, crushed Rosemary, no salt Mad Hunky rub, red pepper flake, 3 cloves garlic and a splash of Worcestershire.
7. Heat over medium heat until the butter sauce is mixed and fully melted.
8. Using a large needle on your flavor injector draw some of the butter sauce into the injector and inject the Alaskan King Crab legs. This can be done by piercing the legs through the white soft shell located at the joints.
9. Peel the shells off the shrimp and rinse them.
10. Once the shrimp are rinsed, take all the meats and the butter sauce in the pan to your cooker.
11. Place the sauce pan of Cajun butter sauce in a cooler place in your cooker.
12. Place the steaks over flame for direct grilling if you have the capability.
13. Place the King Crab legs away from direct heat.
14. For thawed crab legs put them on when you flip the steaks. Spoon some butter sauce onto your griddle or in a pan over higher heat.
15. Add 1/2 to 1 cup mushrooms and the shrimp. The shrimp should have a light sizzle going but not too much heat.
16. After 2.5 minutes rotate the steaks 90 degrees. This will provide for nice cross hatch grill marks.
17. Stir and turn the shrimp and mushroom.
18. Flip the crab legs.
19. After another 2.5 minutes flip the steaks. You should have nice seared grill marks.
20. Spoon or mop some Cajun butter sauce on to the steaks. Turn and stir the shrimp.
21. Check the shrimp at this point for doneness. If they are done, move them and the mushrooms to the Cajun butter sauce pan and stir them in.
22. Remove the crab legs as well and put them into the sauce pan.
23. Another 2.5 minutes the steak should be rotated and a meat probe inserted.
24. The steaks can be pulled when they reach your desired temperature for doneness.
25. After the steak has rested 5 minutes, plate up the steak.
26. Crack open a crab leg or two and break the meat up and place it on top of the flat iron steaks.
27. Spoon on the shrimp ,mushrooms and Cajun butter sauce.
28. Lay an Alaskan King Crab leg beside the steak and serve.

Japanese volunteer in Bohol works to elevate PH design
Young Japanese volunteer Yutaka Tokushima has been living in Bohol for over a year now. He is one of the many young professionals working with key industries in the Philippines under the Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers (JOCV) Program of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
A graduate of Tama Art University in Tokyo, one of Asia's foremost schools in industrial design, Tokushima is in Bohol to work with local manufacturers on what seems to be the future of Philippine design.
A major tourist destination, Bohol has a creative industry that teems with possibilities, not just in the performing arts, music and architecture, but also in crafts and design.
"Product design and packaging are a big challenge for manufacturers in Bohol," said Tokushima. "But helping the local manufacturers adapt to new technology is one way to address it."
Bohol manufacturers have had problems executing their designs, as most of these are still done by sketching.
But Bohol manufacturers are taking their designs to the world stage one step at a time, through the FabLab project (Fabrication Laboratory) with the assistance of Tokushima.
FabLab began at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to help grassroots communities translate their design ideas into physical form with the help of computers. The concept already has a global network which includes the US, Kenya and Afghanistan.
With the new technology, Bohol manufacturers can make prototypes of their designs faster, create scale models, illustrate graphic designs, combine local materials, and even mass-produce products.
In the Philippines, the FabLab project is a collaboration of JICA through its JOCV program, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)-Bohol, Department of Science and Technology (DOST), and Bohol Island State University (BISU).
"We've institutionalized FabLab because we know that creativity and innovation are key drivers of economic development," said Blair Panong, senior trade and industry development specialist of DTI-Bohol.
About 135 manufacturers from Bohol are now part of FabLab, he added.
"We've already experimented with combining raffia with recycled plastic, and the result was a brand new material that is stronger than the natural material," said Tokushima.
Earlier this year, the Philippine FabLab team visited the FabLab in Indonesia to learn best practices from actual operations. The purchase of specific equipment and tools like laser cutters, big and small milling machines, 3D printers, test equipment, print and cut machines, scroll saws, embroidery machines, and LED TVs for video conferencing, among others, are already underway for the Philippines.
"Keeping up with technology, through the FabLab, and eventually an integrated website portal, offers many possibilities to achieve Boholano's full potential," said Tokushima.
Tokushima dreams that someday there would be Bohol products in some of the world's leading trade exhibits, like the Milano Salone, 100% Design, and Japan Good Design Expo. Through the FabLab project, his dream may soon be a reality.

Always believe in yourself and what you are capable of.
I tell pointless stories. I love to laugh and I do so a lot and quite loudly. Life without wine, wings, football and shoes would be unbearable. I love to try new things and see new places. I think dirty jokes are funny. I love to dance, and have high aspirations to one day become an NFL cheerleader. I also love to smile, smiling is my favorite. I'll be starting a new jobs in January and am very excited to begin a new chapter of my life. I've been fortunate to travel abroad but there are still so many places I would love to see and so many countries to go back to. I travel to the beach every summer and can't get enough, but by far fall is my favorite season. I enjoy cooking dinners and trying new restaurants when I can. I'm not much of an outdoorsy girl but I like going for hikes and bike rides. Ok now i guess to say what I'm would like in a prince charming... I am looking for someone who likes me for me, as cheesy as that sounds. Someone I can try new things with or just sit on the couch with a movie and a glass of wine. A guy who can laugh at my jokes, and if they aren't funny make jokes about how bad mine are. Somebody who wants adventures and can be spontaneous at times. Someone who likes to watch football just as much as I do. Somebody who at the end of a long day will just make me smile, and let me do the same for them. If you're looking for someone fun to spend time with and to laugh, let me know :)

Jackson, MS -- A Disaster Information Helpline is in operation for those who were affected by the recent severe storms, tornadoes and flooding and who already have applied to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for disaster assistance.
The Helpline number for assistance is 1-800-621-3362, or 1-800-462-7585 for the hearing or speech impaired. The hours of operation are 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday, and 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
Leon Shaifer, the state coordinating officer for disaster recovery, said, "We realize many people may have questions about FEMA's disaster assistance program now that they have registered, so a toll-free Helpline is available to answer their questions."
The Helpline is available to answer questions about what disaster assistance programs are available, to inquire about the status of an existing application for assistance, or to maintain up-to-date application information such as changes of addresses and phone numbers.
Gracia Szczech, the federal official in charge of recovery, added, "If you have not yet registered for assistance with FEMA, you also can get the process started by calling the same number. The deadline to apply for assistance is February 5, less than three weeks away. Call 1-800-621-3362 today."
The 17 Mississippi counties eligible for individual disaster assistance are: Bolivar, Coahoma, DeSoto, Grenada, Hinds, Humphreys, Lafayette, Leake, Madison, Panola, Quitman, Scott, Sunflower, Tallahatchie, Tate, Tunica and Washington.

Some things are not common to most Handi Rifles, namely the sights. The 300 BLK model doesn't have any, it has a single barrel-mounted Picatinny rail for optics, glass or red dot sights welcome.
Naturally, this being an AAC-influenced design, the barrel is threadded 5/8-24 for muzzle attachments like the many AAC compensators, flash hiders and brakes, not to mention 300 BLK-specific suppressors. You can look at this rifle (page 78) and all of AACs accessories in their catalog here (PDF).
The MSRP on this Handi Rifle is in the same arena as most H&R Handi Rifles, $360. Hopefully that means you will be able to buy them for under $300s on the open market, however, as interesting as this little piece is we won't be surprised if prices stay high for a little while after launch.
H&R and AAC set a target date for launch on these guys for last month which has clearly gone by. But several online vendors have already listed this new model for sale, out of stock, which is often a sign that they are shipping and nearly ready for sale. Patience. It will be rewarded. A prototype. The production model does not have iron sights.
At well under $400 a Handi-Rifle in 300 BLK has got to be the least expensive complete firearm to get you into shooting this interesting cartridge. Admittedly if you plan on suppressing it that will take a tax stamp, time and even more money, but to be able to shoot like in that video seems worth it.

The new door is slightly different than the one I replaced. To install the new door, I had to remove the plastic "frame" on the new door with a small flat head screwdriver. Then, I could easily mount the door to the hinges on the microwave. Once on the microwave, I clicked the frame back into the door and it was good as new!

Morning All
Today we were supposed to go up to Cannock Chase. as we got in car a geat long list of road closures because of flooding including the main road, the only road that gets us to the motorway.
So we squashed onwards to give it a go. When we hit the 3rd complete flood over a road, deep the sort you're not sure if the car will drive through. we phoned our appointment and cancelled. Then we heard motorway was blocked - crash so here we are nice and snug and warm, drinking tea and relieved we are not out there.
As meeting was important we will have to do it another day!!
I guess Severn will br over the banks soon if not already. Didn't get far enough along to see
Rain gauge said over last 24hours had 25mm rain
Oh it came out small
Have sevral Muppets - Sorry picture bit big. How to reduce That is the question?
Can't beat a bit of compost
Well if I ask Forkers who their favourite Muppet is what will you all say?
Night Dean
Had my 2 glasses of wine Becks - but they are only small size!
Also had my treat Must remember to buy one again - if I ever deserve a treat again
Just asked family - innocently - who their favourite Muppet was (well I did see these great mugs) and I get the full interrogation off 2 at home, one comes up with a totally obscure one (typical) and the others reply by text as if I've gone mad.. Perhaps they won't have a pressie then.
Hi Caz
Reading through posts can tell weather not fit to garden. What a load of bored Forkers we are.
Hairy Biker baked beans - make it ourselves With meatballs Followed by my treat - mincemeat and ginger tart from Waitrose - a reward
Just done the eyes. Pleased to report much improvement
Oh Flo. tut tut tut. Still I have a large mincemeat and ginger tart waiting for me courtesy of Waitrose, a treat as i reached a target.
Your Monday quick meal always sounds really good to me Jo
Just lit fire - not cold - just wanted to be more cheery. What a horrible day
Becks, Geoff
That dolls face is just what it looked like. AArgh!
This attempt much better, maybe because I feel better.
