Bolt Action Rifles
Almost without exception, every nation embarked upon World War Two equipped with practically the same bolt action rifle it had fielded at the conclusion of World War One. Even the United States, which was fast converting to a semi automatic rifle, still relied heavily on its bolt action M1903.
The two adjectives which best describe the average bolt action rifle are perhaps sturdy and reliable. For sturdy, read heavy; for reliable, read unremarkable. World War One had demonstrated to all armies the need to place a greater volume of fire in the hands of their infantrymen. Following the conflict though, there was understandably little enthusiasm to search for new designs. What weapons were demonstrated looked decidedly odd compared to the bolt action rifles in use, and all were untested.
It is not that surprising there was no great rush to throw out the old, trusted designs. It is a major step to replace the entire rifle inventory of an army. It means every man needs to be retrained on the replacement weapon, every armourer updated and familiarised and every manual reviewed and rewritten. It is quite a mammoth task. No wonder perhaps that the major European combatants, France aside, simply made do with amendments to the weapons which had proven their worth a quarter century earlier.
Every bolt action rifle shares a commonality of design. There is a limited capacity, spring fed, internal magazine. The bolt lever sits on the right hand side of the weapon. To load, the lever is rotated upwards through 90 degrees then pulled back. This action cocks the firing mechanism with the rearward movement, and also exposes the internal magazine. Ammunition issue was universal; a metal strip holding five rounds in a single line. The charger was positioned over the magazine, and the rounds pushed down into it. The metal strip was then discarded. The bolt was now pushed forward, this action stripping the first round from the magazine and pushing it into the chamber. The bolt lever was then returned through 90 degrees, sealing the chamber from the magazine and locking the action in place.

To fire, the trigger was squeezed, releasing the mechanism which had been cocked upon loading. The chambered round was then fired. To reload, the bolt was rotated as before and pulled back. Now, this action not only cocked the firing mechanism, it also stripped and ejected the spent cartridge case from the chamber. The next round in the magazine was now pushed into line by the spring, and the bolt pushed forward and down to load and lock the mechanism. The rifle was then ready for its next discharge.
It was a simple and reliable mechanism, easy to impart to even the most challenging recruit. Yet the drawbacks of such rifles are obvious. The very disturbance caused by working the bolt action necessitates the rifle be re-aimed after every shot, making it practically impossible to get two on the same target. There are desperate seconds of vulnerability while the rifle is being reloaded between shots. These problems were particularly noticeable during street fighting, where the enemy could suddenly appear a few yards away. The cumbersome nature of the weapon did not lend itself easily to such encounters.
The next problem to consider is the thorny question of range. The rounds fired by these weapons were all capable of killing a man at a distance of over a mile away. Rifles were often sighted to a maximum range of between 1000 and 2000 yards. However, few soldiers are capable of even seeing a concealed enemy at such extreme distances, let alone actually engaging him. The power of ammunition designed to be lethal at such lengths produces a dreadful recoil, another factor affecting accuracy. It was generally agreed that the maximum range of engagement with the rifle was not above 500 yards, snipers aside.
These then were some of the considerations to be taken into account when going to war with a bolt action rifle. Listed below are the most important examples of the period.
The British Army
The Rifle Number 4 (Short Magazine Lee Enfield)
|113 cm
|4.1 kg
|0.303 in (7.7 mm)
|10 rounds
|Muzzle Velocity
|740 metres per second
The Rifle No 4
The Rifle No 5, lower of the two, distinguished by the flash hider and shoulder pad
The Number 4 was the penultimate model in the Lee Enfield series which had first appeared back in 1896. The reliability and accuracy of the weapon were already legendary, and its service in the hands of British and a host of Commonwealth troops during the Second World War confirmed its reputation.
At the outbreak of war, the standard rifle remained the Mark III Short Magazine Lee Enfield (SMLE) of Great War vintage, which was slightly lighter at 3.7 kg, but the same length as the Number 4. While the Number 4 was far easier to produce, there were no pronounced differences between the two models, excepting the simplified sights of the latter.
As a basic load, each man armed with the rifle carried fifty rounds of ammunition in ten chargers of five rounds each. They were carried in one of the two webbing pouches worn by each rifleman. By 1944 the load had doubled to one hundred rounds, but the additional ammunition was earmarked for the Section Bren Gun. Bandoliers, each containing five pockets (10 rounds per pocket) were also used.
Somewhat late in the day, the British Army decided it needed a shorter weapon, particularly for the campaign in the Far East. This was accomplished by sawing the Number 4 down to 100 cm, adding a flash hider, and reducing the weight to 3.25 kg. The result was named, imaginatively, the Rifle Number 5. It appeared in 1944, and was not a happy invention, losing the accuracy of the earlier models, and increasing the recoil effect dramatically. It did not see use outside of the Far East theatre.
The United States Army
The Rifle Model 1903 (Springfield)
|110 cm
|3.9 kg
|0.30 in
|5 rounds
|Muzzle Velocity
|850 metres per second
The M1903 Springfield
The M1903A4 sniper rifle, note the removal of the foresight rendered obsolete by the telescopic fitting
Officially, the M1903 was rendered obsolete with the adoption of the M1 Garand. However, such was the need for rifles as the US Army expanded that the Springfield still had a valuable part to play in World War Two.
Its most important arena early on was the Pacific, as it was used to equip the burgeoning Marine Corps who came second in line behind the Army for receipt of the M1. Within the Army itself, it was retained in two very different roles. Firstly, pending the development of a suitable grenade launcher for the M1 Garand, it was retained at the rate of one per Rifle Squad for antitank grenade use, while from 1943 onwards it became the weapon of the sniper, fitted with a Weaver telescopic sight as the M1903A4. It could also be found in the hands of certain rear echelon troops in place of the M1 Carbine.
The standard rifleman's belt had ten pockets, each holding a pair of five round clips for a total of one hundred rounds.
The Red Army
Mosin-Nagant Model 1891/30
|123 cm
|4 kg
|7.62 mm
|5 rounds
|Muzzle Velocity
|810 metres per second
The M1891/30
The shortened M1944, with it peculiar fixed bayonet
The Mosin-Nagant was another example of a World War One weapon slightly modified to equip the army of World War Two. The Red Army had intended to rearm itself with the SVT series of semi automatic rifles, but the program was never seriously undertaken. Instead, the M1891/30 was the weapon which carried the Soviets to Berlin. Its accuracy was best demonstrated in the sniper role, whose numbers took a heavy toll on the Wehrmacht.
Like the British, and also in 1944, the Russians chopped down the standard rifle to produce a Carbine. The Model 1944 was actually derived from a pre-war weapon, the M1938. It reduced length to 101 cm, weight to 3.5 kg and muzzle velocity to 770 mps. It had the peculiar feature of a permanently attached bayonet which lay along the right hand forestock.
A plea for information on the general ammunition load of the average Russian riflemen elicited the following suggestion. The standard issue ammunition pouch held six clips each of five rounds. Ideally, each riflemen was to have been issued two pouches, plus a third reserve, but in reality most men only received one pouch. That would mean just thirty rounds, plus whatever could be crammed into his pockets and pack. A bandolier holding fourteen clips was also produced, but rarely shows up in contemporary pictures. Any further info will be welcomed!
The German Army
The Karabiner 98k (Mauser Rifle)
|111 cm
|3.9 kg
|7.92 mm
|5 rounds
|Muzzle Velocity
|755 metres per second
The German Kar 98k
The Kar 98k was a shortened version of the original 1898 weapon from the Great War, the 'k' standing for kurz or short. It employed the Mauser bolt action which influenced many other Continental designs.
Despite the plethora of semi and fully automatic rifles the Germans experimented with and actually deployed, the Kar 98 still provided the bulk of the rifle strength of the Army. It served as a sniper rifle with a variety of telescopic sights, and proved highly destructive in the role.
As the Germans expanded their war machine evermore, other Mauser type rifles plundered from conquered arsenals were pressed into use. Even the predecessor Gewehr 98 was returned to service, noticeable by its 125 cm length and 870 mps muzzle velocity, but otherwise the same.
The rifleman was issued sixty rounds, two five round clips carried in each of the six pouches on his belt.
The Japanese Army
Type 38th Year Rifle (Arisaka)
|127 cm
|4.2 kg
|6.5 mm
|5 rounds
|Muzzle Velocity
|730 metres per second
Grainy image of one of the Arisaka series rifles. They all bore the same general appearance whether chambered for the original 6.5 mm round or later 7.7 mm version
A much better scan of the Arisaka, in this instance the Type 99 chambered for the larger 7.7 mm round. This picture was kindly provided by FX House Associates (thanks Francis)
Another donated scan, this time from Jose Francis. This shows the monopod fitted to the Type 99, though I don't think the garden furniture was included!
The Arisaka was named after the Colonel who oversaw its adoption in 1897. The 38th Year designation referred to the uniquely Imperial Japanese practice of basing a calendar on the length of time a particular Emperor had ruled. When the original model was amended in 1905, the Emperor Meiji had been on the throne for thirty eight years.
The Arisaka was a reliable and popular weapon in the East, its low recoil 6.5 mm round being appreciated for its ease of handling. It was, however, also its greatest weakness. The 6.5 mm round was known to be less effective than the 7.62 mm or higher rounds used elsewhere, especially by Japan's foes. A revised model, the Type 99 was produced in 1939. It fired the 7.7 mm round used in the Japanese heavy machine gun. It supplemented the earlier version in service, but production was too limited to replace it. Its statistics were roughly similar to the Type 38 given above.
Both models came in a shortened carbine form, the Type 38 at around 87 cm in length and 3.3 kg in weight, while the Type 99 was 112 cm and 3.9 kg. Ammunition was carried in two pouches, each holding a half dozen five rounds clips for a total of sixty rounds for the average soldier.
The Italian Army
Fucile Modello 1891
|128 cm
|3.8 kg
|6.5 mm
|6 rounds
|Muzzle Velocity
|700 metres per second
Excellent scan of the M1891 kindly donated by Piero Gralia in replacement of the M1895 which previously appeared here. Many thanks
The M1891 carbine, sporting the fixed bayonet. It was originally designed for cavalry use
The Italian Army was faced with a critical deficiency in the primary arm of their infantry throughout World War Two, namely their rifle.
The M1891 had seen service during the Great War, when complaints had been made about its ineffective cartridge. These prompted a post-war shift to a 7.35 mm round, but only a few weapons had been modified before the next conflict began. As a result, the Italian solider found himself largely outgunned by his allied adversary in a typical firefight, with the terrain of the desert no doubt exacerbating the problem. An extra round in the magazine was poor recompense for such a major flaw.
Two carbine versions also saw service, the M1891 which was a straight adaptation of its parent. Length was reduced to 92 cm and weight down to 3 kg. It featured a fixed bayonet which folded under the barrel and can have been of little use. The M1938 deleted this and actually increased the dimensions of the weapon to 3.45 kg and 102 cm. This latter model also appeared in 7.35 mm in limited numbers.
Ammunition was seemingly carried in just two small pouches on the belt, allowing for perhaps 36 rounds?

What Great War Hero Are You?
What famous war hero are you most like? Here is a list of great war heroes and their stories.
Commanding U.S. forces in the Battle of James Island on November 14, 1782, Kościuszko was nearly killed, but was among the first Continental troops to reoccupy Charleston, S.C. After seven years of faithful, uninterrupted service to the American cause, on October 13, 1783, he was promoted to brigadier general, received American citizenship and was given by Congress a grant of land near Columbus, Ohio. When he died, he left his property to be used to buy the freedom of black slaves.
George Vujnovich of New York
In the summer of 1944, the U.S. Army Air Corps undertook a series of missions to Romania to attack Hitler's oil fields -- and the Nazis sent up anti-aircraft fire that downed hundreds of American bombers. Many of the surviving airmen were retrieved by a group of Serbian resistance fighters called the Chetniks.
The Chetniks hated Nazis, but didn't think much of Americans either, so put them into prison camps. The U.S. Army sent George Vujnovich, a New Yorker with Serbian roots, to negotiate for their release. He masterminded a huge operation codenamed "Halyard Mission," during which 512 airmen were escorted out of Nazi territory by the militia of war-hardened Serbs – which Vujnovich won over to the American side.
He was awarded the Bronze Star for his efforts. "I feel deeply satisfied," said Vujnovich. "Not for myself, but for men who gave their lives to save these airmen."
Chiune Sugihara of Japan
During World War II, Japanese Consul-General Chiune Sugihara and his wife Yukiko were assigned to Berlin. They saw first-hand how bad things were getting for the Jews and decided to get involved. Unfortunately the Japanese government had formed the Axis with Germany and fascist Italy – and refused permission for Chiune to issue visas to Jews to get them out of harm's way.
So, he did it anyway, in direct disobedience to his superiors. The Nazis became furious – but Chiune and his wife started issuing Japanese visas around the clock, blazing through them like no bureaucrats in history. Although they were forced to flee the country, Sugihara continued issuing visas and throwing them out his train window as it pulled away.In the end, it's estimated he and his wife saved the lives of up to 6,000 Jews – which is noteworthy when you consider that Oskar Schindler's list is estimated to have saved 801.

By Jay Tidwell
Special to the Journal
SPRINGVILLE – Coach Bryan Buckner might have some criticism for Ben Adams after his three errors at third base Friday night.
But he won't be able to find fault with Adams' work at the plate.
Two clutch hits by the South Pontotoc junior third baseman, coupled with a complete game on the mound by Devin Garner, boosted South Pontotoc to a Division 2-3A win over Houston 5-4.
The win was important for South Pontotoc, now 11-6 and 2-3 in 2-3A, and opens a set of four varsity games to be played at home this weekend. Houston, coming off a key 9-3 division win over Caledonia this past Tuesday, falls to 6-10 and 2-3, and has two more division games on the road coming up this week.
South Pontotoc left a man on base in each of its six innings at the plate, but managed to advance the runners when it counted most.
The Cougars jumped in front 3-0 in the bottom of the first, and never relinquished the lead. Adams doubled – his first of two – to the fence in right center, scoring Grant Reynolds and Dustin Jones. Sam Cruse followed with a single over third base, scoring Adams.
In bottom of the fifth, Cory Finn stroked a one-out double to right-center, and scored on a double to right by Adams, bumping South Pontotoc to 5-2.
Garner, a senior and now 2-2 on the season, pitched his way out of several jams and whiffed batters in every inning.
In top of the sixth, with runners at first and second, Garner struck out Landon Brister to end the inning, preserving the Cougars' 5-2 lead.
In the top of the seventh, Houston never got the ball out of the infield, but managed to cut the score to 5-4. And Garner hung tough.
Adams bobbled a shot by Chase Franks that loaded the bases. Chris Upshaw flied out to shallow center and the runners were unable to advance. Garner beaned Ricky Ware on the next pitch, plating Latham Brister. Garner next hit Jason Moore with a pitch, scoring Ty Stroup. But Garner was unfazed by the dilemma.
"I think I kept them off-balance," Garner said, who struck out nine. "I tried to mix it up as much as possible, such as throwing my curve ball with full-count to the last batter."
The last pitch was a called third strike to Dustin Smith, who took Garner to full count and struck out in three of his four trips to the plate.
Even under pressure late in the game, Buckner said he didn't seriously consider relieving Garner.
"He's our ace," Buckner said. "I knew he could fight through."
Latham Brister (3-3) took the loss for Houston. Ware entered the game with one out in the bottom of the second, and gave up two runs while fanning seven.
(South Pontotoc) "kept us off balance," said Houston coach John Ellison, in his third season at the helm. "Their pitcher showed a lot of guts when the game was on the line."
"I believe sometimes it happens, and sometimes it don't," Ellison said. "Tonight, it just didn't happen."

While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday.
Keep your fondue sticks at the ready because April 11 is National Cheese Fondue Day!
While few can say no to a warm pot of cheese fondue with soft bread cubes for the ultimate dipping pleasure, the Swiss are proud to call this their national dish. The fondue pot phenomenon didn't catch on here until the 1960s, but oh, how we have embraced it.
The Swiss were so proud of their fondue that after World War II, fondue sets were sent out to all military regiments. It's no wonder they regard it as a symbol of national unity - everyone likes to congregate around the fondue pot.
The hardest part about fondue for many folks is keeping it warm enough for dipping without burning the tar out if it (and the roof of your mouth). If you achieve fondue temperature perfection, you'll be rewarded with what the French refer to as la religieuse, or "the nun" - a thin crust of toasted cheese that is like a cracker, and perfect to lift out and eat for a post-fondue snack.
Get your bread cubes and favorite veggies ready for a fun fondue dinner (dare we say a fundue?) and make a lovely beer cheese variation. It will definitely bring everyone together.

DOE Human Subjects Protection Program
Scope of Research
DOE's research portfolio is unique among agencies supporting research because of its breadth (e.g., nuclear fission to human biology). Research on human subjects performed in accordance with the ethical and humanitarian principles allows experiments to be performed that provide medical and scientific benefits to individuals and to the nation.
Such research using human subjects encompasses a broader range of research than many investigators, program managers, and government officials often realize. In addition to traditional biomedical and clinical studies, human subjects research includes, but is not limited to, studies that use, create, or collect:
- humans to test devices, products, or materials developed through research; to examine human-machine interfaces; or to evaluate environmental alterations;
- bodily materials such as cells, blood, tissues, or urine that are identifiable with individuals even if the materials were not collected for the study in question;
- private information readily identifiable with individuals, including genetic information and medical and exposure records, such as worker health studies, even if the information was not collected specifically for the study in question;
- identifiable or high-risk data, including surveys, collected through direct intervention or interaction with individuals; and
- studies conducted to gain generalizable knowledge about categories or classes of subjects (e.g., worker populations or subgroups).

I have been reading (and loving) Supper of the Lamb by Robert Capon and my son-in-law, Tim, recently recommended that the guys read For the Life of the World by Alexander Schmemann to discuss at Christmas over cigars and port (Tim didn't mention the cigars and port part). Both books begin by insisting that eating is one of the most spiritual activities we can engage in. I am captivated.
Schmemann quotes philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach: "Man is what he eats." Feuerbach hoped to make people think they did not need the spiritual world that what man really needs is food. When he said that, however, he instead opened up the heavens. Man is what he eats and man has been connected to food in a very deep way since the beginning.
God put man into the garden of Eden and said, "Eat." (Gen. 2:16)
When the Lord appeared to Abraham He was fed cakes of fine flour, beef, butter and milk. (Gen 18)
The last thing the disciples did with Jesus was to eat. (Mark 4:22)
And the sacrament of communion is all about eating and drinking. (Matt. 26:26)
Jesus on his last day before being crucified looked forward to the day when he would eat in the Kingdom of God. (Luke 22:15f)
Jesus asked the disciples after His resurrection, "Children, have you any food." (Jn.21:5)
After His resurrection from the dead, He ate, "Jesus said to them, 'come and eat breakfast.'" (Jn. 21:12)
But Satan is smarter than any old materialist philosopher and he knows how to get this man of substance and being under control. He understands that as long as man deals with real substance, man will remain substantial. Instead of taking away the material we have deceitfully been encouraged to mentally alienate ourselves from reality.
Corrupting our relationship to food has become a great way to dehumanize our humanity. Rather than eating for enjoyment and pleasure we have turned eating into a burden. By totally absorbing ourselves in our diets, our food choices, our bodies, we have made ourselves the center of everything and we have lost the delight of eating.
We obsess over how many calories, how much saturated fat, and how to avoid white food (rice, flour, bread…) and have turned our energy to worshiping our whole grain, organic, raw food diet. And taste be damned. Food is for maintenance.
We have been conned into thinking that eating is to be endured; how dare you enjoy that lovely fried egg with toasted white bread and lavishly buttered with real butter when you should be drinking that, that horrid stuff you whirled in the blender for all the health benefits it guarantees, the premordial ooze of life.
Enjoying the delicious taste of a meal well prepared makes us human and earthly in the best sense.
"To break real bread is to break the loveless hold of hell upon the world, and, by just that much, to set the secular free."
We've been had.
"Food does not exist merely for the sake of its nutritional value. To see it so is only to knuckle under still further to the desubstantialization of man, to regard not what things are, but what they mean to us- to become, in short, solemn idolaters spiritualizing what should be loved as matter."
True, true, man's body is to be a temple of the Holy Spirit. (1 Cor. 6:19) But given man's tendency to idolatry, his penchant for obsessing over himself and thinking that he can control his destiny, his length of days by what he eats, by what we deny ourselves, given this tendency we need to start eating food that tastes good and leave off with the devilish cult of diets.
So how can we feast to the fullest and not become as big as a house?
"To eat nothing at all is more human than to take a little of what cries out for the appetite of a giant."
Ah! The godly discipline of fasting.
And, "the real secret of fasting is not that it is a simple way to keep one's weight down, but that it is a mysterious way of lifting creation into the Supper of the Lamb."

Is there really deliverance?
Is there really deliverance?
Can anyone really tell time?
What if anything ever makes sense?
Brother, can you spare a dime?
I once met a man from Seattle;
He cried as he spoke to me.
He lost his son in a battle,
So all of his friends could be free.
My neighbor has so much money;
He spends it as fast as he can.
You know, its really quite funny;
He thinks that hes Peter Pan.
A child suffers from cancer;
A rich man lives on a Yacht.
Does anyone have the answer?
Who in hells going to rot?
Why is there so much sorrow?
Why does the victim pay?
If there is a God for tomorrow,
Is there a God for today?
6 million Jews are cremated;
A blind man holds out his cup.
What kind of world was created?
Will the real God please stand up.
Death is a very dark bedroom;
The boogie mans under the bed.
Gentile or Jew,
Hes waiting for you,
Hell decide when youre better off dead.

Bear River softball scores 4-3 win over ColfaxBy: Gold Country News Service
The Bear River and Colfax girls softball teams traded three-run home runs at Lake of the Pines Tuesday afternoon in the Pioneer Valley League game between the Lady Falcons and Bruins.
But despite each offense being spiced by the long ball, the difference was a solo run the Lady Bruins scored in the third inning that added up to a 4-3 win.
The win by Bear River keeps the Bruins undefeated in PVL action at 4-0 while Colfax slips back to 2-2.
Colfax was out-hit by the Bruins 12-2 but the Lady Falcons made things interesting in the sixth when Nelly Steinhoff reached on an error and Meg McCollum walked. Jenna Patterson then delivered a three-run homer that trimmed Bear River's lead to 4-3.
Earlier, leading 1-0 in the fourth, Bear River's Rachel Last (3 for 4) whacked a three-run homer of her own that got the Bruins on the win trail.
Bear River's Maya Shine (2 for 4) and Alex Ecke contributed offensively.
Freshman hurler Nerissa Long, who went 2 for 4 from the plate, got the pitching win for Bear River and ended the game with 12 strikeouts.
"It was a good game but we didn't put the ball in play enough to get the win," said Colfax coach Mimi Scott. "Long pitched a good game though. She's very poised for a freshman."

U.S. troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan are being banned from using some
recreational websites like "youtube" and "myspace." The Defense Department will begin blocking access to such popular websites along with 11 others. A memo states that such web surfing impacts the Defense Department's network
"Posing a significant operational security challenge." Military personnel not serving in the Middle East can still access the websites on their personal computers.

I am a 40 year old female. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and bursitis in both hips. I have received steroid injections into my left hip in the past but that was about 4 years ago. I have back pain and basically all the symptoms to go with the fibro. Both have been diagnosed a few years ago. I was in a severe car accident in 1991. I visit my doctor regularly the last time about 2 months ago. My left hip has been inflamed for many months now but not with that much pain. Over the past few days I have developed severe pain in my left hip. The worst of the pain is on the top of my hip and radiates around to my back and to my abdomen area and down the front of my pelvis into the inside of my thigh. I went to the doctor and she gave me medrol for the inflamation. I have an appt with an ortho but not till the 14 of Jan. Tonight the pain is very bad on a scale of 1-10 it is a 10.. My leg nearly went out from underneath me a couple times. The bursitis has never been this bad before and I am not sure what is going on. Anyone who can offer some sort of advice or help it would be great. I am in tears from the pain I have been dealing with chronic pain from arthritis and the fibro but nothing like this. I could really use some advice.
Thank you.

Part 5 - Publishing of the jQuery Carousel.
When you are ready to publish your jquery carouseljs 3 slider online or to a local drive for testing you should go to "Gallery/Publish". Select the publishing method: publish to folder, publish to FTP server or paste jQuery Carousel into existing html page using insert to page option.
- publish to folder. To select a local location on your hard drive, just click the Browse folders button and choose a location. Then click Ok. You can also set "Open web page after publishing" option.
- publish to FTP server. The FTP Location Manager window enables you to define a number of connections for use when uploading your coleccion carousel jquery zip image slider to an FTP.
You are able to add a new FTP site by clicking "Edit" to the right of the "Publish to FTP server" drop down list. FTP Location Manager window will appear. Now type in a meaningful (this is not the actual hostname) name for your site and fill in the FTP details in the appropriate fields. You will have to type in your hostname, e.g. domain. The FTP port is normally located on port 21 thus this has been prefilled for you already. If your web site uses another port, you will have to enter it here.
Type in your username and password for the connection. If you do not fill in this information, jQuery Carousel is unable to connect to your jquery banner plugin e carousel site and thus not able to upload your automatic image slider in html to jquery carousel the best website. If this site enables anonymous connections, just type in anonymous as the username and your e-mail address as the password.
You might want to change the Directory as well if you need to have your uploaded images placed in e.g. "www/gallery/". You can specify it in the FTP Folder field on the Publish window.
Notice: Write the name of the folder where your slider maker will be placed on the server. Notice that you should specify this field; otherwise your choosing carousel jquery slider will be uploaded into the root folder of your server!

Part 6 - Save your photo slider as project file.
When you exit jQuery Carousel, you'll be asked if you want to save your project. The project consists of the pictures you choose to put on your image slider and all your settings. It's a good idea to save the project, because that will allow you to change the project in case you decide to do something different with future sliders. So click Yes, then enter a name for your project. To select the location of your project, just click the Browse folders button and choose a different location. Then click Save.

Fossett's fateful flight departed from this hanger and airstrip at Barron Hilton's Flying M Ranch.
<< Back | Page 4 of 5 | Next >>
The Final Flight In mid-September a psychic was brought to the Flying M. "You are needing me," she reportedly told those there. Fossett had encountered engine trouble, she said. He tried to find a safe landing place but crashed into a mountainside. "He is in a dark place, covered with white, powdery dirt, with one arm hanging out." The psychic was operating in the realm of pure conjecture, but so, too, were investigators. And almost every theory formulated had numerous sensible reasons against it.Something may have gone wrong with the Decathlon, but mechanical failure is rarely the cause of accidents involving small planes. Pilot incapacitation—a heart attack, a seizure, a stroke—was also a remote possibility, though Fossett, 63, was in good health. News reports, meanwhile, implied that Fossett might have made a mistake while taking chances in an unfamiliar stunt plane. But Fossett knew the Decathlon, which Robert Szego, president of the Bellanca-Champion Club, calls "an excellent, safe, and responsive machine." Fossett, furthermore, wasn't a daredevil. "He's not a crop duster. He never was," says Rick Blakemore, a friend and fellow pilot.The theory that has been considered most intently concerns the weather. Both Bigsby's sighting and the radar track place Fossett near mountain peaks where dangerous downdrafts are found. In 1999 three highly regarded glider pilots who departed from the airport in nearby Minden perished in wind-related accidents. Major Ryan described September 3 as "a really delightful day to go flying." But just a day later conditions were so bad that some search planes were grounded and others were unable to fly low enough to scan effectively. "There have been times when I've been flying in the wind and my blood turns cold," says Adam Mayberry, a pilot familiar with the area.To better understand how downdrafts work, imagine gushing river water hitting a rock. On the front side of the rock water shoots upward. But on the back it dives into a dangerous hole. Air currents work in a similar fashion. When gusting winds hit a mountainside, they careen upward. That's how glider pilots can soar for hours on the windward sides of ridges. On the leeward sides, however, the air shoots powerfully down. Aviators are taught to monitor wind speeds and approach mountain ranges at a 45-degree angle, so that if a downdraft presents itself, a 45-degree turn will lead out of harm's way. A particularly strong wind current can cause an elevation loss of over 1,500 feet (457 meters) a minute. Most planes, including Fossett's Decathlon, can climb only about 1,000 feet (305 meters) a minute. "It could have happened that in crossing a ridgeline, an unexpected downdraft knocked the aircraft down," says Lieutenant Loughridge.Downdrafts don't inevitably lead to crashes. With his extensive balloon and sailplane experience, Fossett would have been particularly adept at identifying and managing the risks. But expertise in a particular endeavor is not a guarantee of safety. In fact, it can work against you, according to scientists in the field of risk analysis. The rate of death for experienced kayakers, for example, is nearly four times higher than it is among inexperienced ones. A study of 622 U.S. avalanche incidents between 1972 and 2001 found that people with avalanche training made more risk perception errors than people without.There is no hard evidence that a combination of wind and pilot error caused Fossett to crash, and people who know him find the theory hard to accept. But put yourself in his sneakers. You've flown around the world, swum the English Channel, raced the Iditarod, climbed the Matterhorn. You're on a pleasure flight, in sweats. Is it possible that you let your guard down for a few crucial seconds? Sure. "It's like baseball," says Szego. "On any given day, any team can lose. On any given day, anything, however unlikely, can happen. And obviously did." Lieutenant Loughridge agrees that no aviator is invincible. He has searched for more than 200 lost planes, locating all but three of them. "Every time, the pilot puts himself in a position that is beyond the airplane's ability or the pilot's," he says. "That's why people die out there."Continue Reading:Page 1: The Vanishing >>Page 2: A Khaki Abyss >>Page 3: White Noise >>Page 4: A Final Flight >>Page 5: Too Few Boots >>

The always fascinating Tod Machover, godfather of hyperinstruments, expounds in a five-part video interview on The Big Think about music: The origins of the Rock Band video game; the watershed moment when the Beatles and Glenn Gould both decided in the same year to concentrate exclusively on recording music; the importance feeling "merged, married" to a musical instrument among other things.
Particularly interesting are his thoughts about the iPhone's potential as a musical instrument. He compares it to a talking dog; that it talks at all is impressive. As remarkable as certain apps like the Ocarina are, Machover still says the iPhone falls short of being of real value to a performing musician:
It doesn't feel like an instrument; it's hard, it's fragile, you can't squeeze it, you can't touch it. It's fine for most of the things you do with multimedia, but think of a piano - I mean, a piano is a machine, but you've got ivory, you've weight behind the keys, you have the feel, the resonance in the instrument."
Machover predicts that the computing power of iPhones will eventually be merged with instruments that "have e real physical feel, and that are sensitive and worthy of somebody learning and mastering it.
A few weeks ago, Machover also had an interesting post in the New York Times' Opinionator blog about the technology's role in the future of music, and whether our musical imaginations need to catch up with existing technology.

A convicted sex offender who moved to our area and didn't register with police got caught Tuesday.
38 year old Timothy Smith formerly of Maryland moved to the Bogue Pines Mobile Home Park a few months ago.
Carteret County Sheriffs Deputies arrested him and put him in jail on a 51-thousand dollar bond. Deputies say Smith was convicted in 1995 for a "third degree" sex offense that happened in Maryland with a 12 year old girl.
Smith was eventually released on probation but violated it in 2007 when he moved and didn't register with police. Smith was also wanted for burglary and theft.

In a Dutch Auction, the selling price of a product is repeatedly lowered every day until product is sold out. As a result of the decreasing purchase price the product deal becomes more enticing to other buyers.
Act quickly to purchase at this "special price" before inventory is depleted and the product is sold out.
The KidCo Angle Mount Wood Safeway Gate is THE gate for situations
where mounting points are not straight across from each other. Made from
furniture grade hardwood, the KidCo Angle Mount Wood Safeway is the perfect for
stop of stairs when you need to mount one side on the wall and one side on a
banister, but it can also be mounted in a hallway when the walls don't line
up. The striking wood color finish coordinates beautifully with home décor. As
a hardware mount gate, it provides maximum safety at the top of stairs and in
high traffic doorways because there is no bottom threshold to potentially trip
over as found on pressure mount gates.

Many different types of dogs are depicted in a variety of media including oil paintings, watercolors, sculptures, prints and decorative art objects.

Ivanka Trump Shares Cute New Pic Of Her Kids On InstagramJoanna Mazewski
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Ivanka Trump is definitely one of my favorite celebrity mothers in the entertainment world. She's classy, she's stylish, she knows how to stay out of the controversial headlines and she's got one of the cutest families in the biz! The model mom just shared a new photo of her daughter Arabella Rose holding her younger brother, 5-month-old Joseph Frederick.
If this doesn't give you a good case of the babies, then I don't know what will, LOL.
It looks like motherhood has definitely been treating Ivanka well as she's been able to split her time between her work functions and her home commitments with ease. Although I love seeing Ivanka in mom mode with her children, I can't wait to see her on the small screen during the next season of the Celebrity Apprentice. With reality television stars such as Kate Gosselin, Kenya Moore and Brandi Glanville, there's no doubt that this is going to be one very HOT season.
In the meantime, enjoy the pic below!

MaryAnn Jergens credits her cat Louie with saving her life Monday night.
The cat jumped on her and woke her as water rushed into the basement apartment she rents from her aunt and uncle, Shannon and Michael LaMendola, on Ramella Avenue in Moonachie.
By the time she woke up, the water went from a few inches to several feet and her aunt and uncle had to rescue her through the kitchen window just after 11 p.m. Monday night.
"I felt trapped," she said.
Jergens, whose brother Stephen was staying upstairs with their aunt and uncle, escaped with only her purse, cat and laptop. She was wearing her brother's clothing Tuesday afternoon.
Shannon LaMendola said the flooding came all at once.
"We went to bed and we didn't realize it, our neighbor started banging on our door, but our bedrooms are in the back of the house so we couldn't hear them," she said.
Her niece called from the basement to say her apartment was flooding fast and they rushed to her aid.
The family of four, and their five cats, was evacuated on a large military truck.
A New Jersey State Police task force and Wayne Office of Emergency Management was evacuating people on the large military trucks, the West Paterson Fire Department, state police, Ridgefield Park Fire Department and Little Ferry Fire Department were all operating rescue boats.
Streets in Moonachie and Little Ferry were transformed into streams Tuesday, flood water overtaking cars, garages and the first floor of homes.
Rescue trucks drove around an abandoned van, trapped in flood water in the middle of Liberty Street at the border of Little Ferry and Moonachie.
On Union Avenue in Little Ferry empty plastic soda bottles floated in the flood water.
Residents living on Eckle Road, the end of which abuts a small lake, said despite some of them living in the community for 50 years, they have never seen flooding like this, not even during Tropical Storm Irene.
Shannon LaMendola said the family would have evacuated sooner, but rescuers did not get to their house until a man in shorts who was out taking photographs of the flood flagged down a passing truck and alerted emergency personnel people were trying to get out.
They said the water came in so quickly they had little time to prepare.
"It was like somebody opened up something and it was just crashing in and there was no time to react," she said.
Her husband said all four of their cars were completely submerged.
They were going to the shelter in Teterboro until relatives from Maryland arrived to take them there.
"We have no family in the area," Michael LaMendola said.
Nicole Manieri watched police help her three young children out of the front seat of a military vehicle as she stood on Liberty Street with a suitcase.
When the family left its Lamker Court home, there was so much water in the house the couch was floating up against the first floor ceiling.
Manieri said two large freezers, full of food, were also floating.
Water came crashing over the hood of her husband's large pick-up truck, filling the seats and his motorcycle was floating in the driveway, she said.
"It's pretty bad," she said.
The property abuts the woods and on the other side of the trees is the lake that spilled over its edges flooding the neighborhood.
"It's never happened before," she said of the seriousness of the floods. "It was like a waterfall through the door and into the garage. It was a really fast gush and it sounded like a pipe had burst."
While the second floor of the split-level home hadn't suffered any damage, she said she was concerned the water level would rise, so they evacuated.
"We were just afraid it would crest and happen again," she said.
Matt Daloia had his wife and children leave their Eckel Street home earlier in the day Tuesday and thought he would stay to watch the house. But by mid-afternoon he and his father, who has lived in the home for 50 years, were evacuating too.
He said the flood was devastating.
"It's like something you see in a movie, like 'Day After Tomorrow,'" he said.
With no basement, there was about four feet of water in the first floor of the split-level home.
"We've never gotten hit like this," he said.
Not everyone was willing to evacuate. Felix Ventura, who lives at the corner of Eckel and Liberty streets had no plans to leave his home, which had about five to six feet of water in the basement.
"Where are we going to go," he asked. "No one has power. We have food, we have water. The generator is running."
Luisa Rodriguez and her children traveled from Ridgefield Park to Little Ferry to check on friends on Union Avenue, but the road was completely flooded by the time they arrived.
"There's nothing we can do, just wait, because there's too much water," she said standing on the corner of Union Avenue and Liberty Street.
Rodriguez said her home didn't suffer any storm damage but her friends in Little Ferry had about seven feet of water in their house.
Peter Smyth who lives by the 7-11 on Liberty Street in Little Ferry, walked down near Chamberlain Avenue, to assess the damage.
"I'm lucky, no flooding – nothing. Unfortunately for some of the other people back in there, it's pretty bad," he said pointing to flooded-out Chamberlain Avenue. "Up to 10 feet, that's what my friend said."

Carbon "Blown Out" at MLG Competition
Gaming Today has been following the Major League Gaming Meadowlands Competition. North Jersey Media Group has some of the highlights of this weekend's competition. Local favorite Eric "GH057AYAME" Hewitt, 19 played in the final round of Halo 2 as a member of team Carbon. Last season's Halo 2 Champion was "blown out" by Final Boss, a close competitor last season.
"It was really close last year," MLG employee Aaron Watson said. "But this time it was just a blowout."
Marco Lambino, who travels with MLG to the six yearly events, credits YouTube for the shift in the league and newcomer skills and playing styles.
"The advent of YouTube has been a great thing for these kids," Lambino said. "It helps them learn strategies that allow the pros to win."
The competition attracted 20,000 spectators to the Meadowlands Exposition Center in Secaucus.
