- Umm...WowThis gun is truly amazing, and for 70 bucks?! Hells yeah I'd buy it! This baby is shaweet! I love the loud bang it has upon firing and actually I don't mind that it's kinda hard to pull the trigger, but not too hard, it's just stiffer than most guns you'll buy, that's all. And the durability on this thing? Mine hasn't broken and I've had it for 6 months now! I wanna buy another one just to have a nice brand new one and give my other to my bro, and that's how I came upon shortyusa, so I thought I'd add my two cents upon this item and many others.
Buy it, Try it, Love it. You'll agree with me, this is a great gun for 70 bucks!
Rating this would be nice, thanks for reading.
- The pistol made by godIn short:
This is the best gas gun ever and you need to buy it.
In depth:
When I first got this gun I was impressed by its amazing performance. I took it up to my room and shot it at my pillow using green gas and was shocked at how hard it shot. Also the Accuracy way amazing. It fits well in my holster and doesn't move around. Also I love the way the mag is kept in because it stops it from being projected out of the holster when you are playing. The cap of the mag is fairly good but the gas consumption is amazing. You can average about 3 mags on one filling of gas. It is mighty powerful and is great for a sidearm and is one heck of a GNBB. I shot myself at pointblank with the gun in the stomach just to see how badly it hurt and I both bled and had a bruise around the area. It hurt so bad I fell over. I do not recommend using Xtreme (red gas) in this gun for obvious reasons. Firstly it's mighty powerful already but even more because it could damage the gun badly because of the plastic outer shell. Also even though you gan FPS you lose accuracy. Green Gas is much better than Red gas. One more tip is don't judge your guns performance by the bbs that come with it. They aren't of very high quality and I recommend that you take them and use them for a spring gun and use some HFC or KSC bbs for this gun.

Power 10/10

Now If you have tested the gun and you are a power freak and need more bang you can easily upgrade this gun. Or if you need to get it to a lower FPS you can also downgrade that.
The following info on upgrading this gun is Courtesy of Teamblackjack
Since this gun is gas it does not rely directly on springs or pistons to propel the bb. Instead, it relies on gas stored in a reservoir in the magazine. When the trigger is pulled, the hammer (part number 35) is released and strikes the gas valve (part number 57) on the back of the magazine to release a burst of gas. The distance that the valve travels with each hammer strike determines how much gas is released. The more gas released, the higher the velocity and vice versa.
The power of the hammer is determined by the resistance of the mainspring (also known as the �hammer spring�, part number 45). As the trigger is pulled, the hammer strut (part number 36) pushes down on the mainspring plunger (part number 44) compressing the mainspring. At a certain point in the trigger pull, the disconnector (part number 34) releases the hammer and allows the mainspring to decompress and push the hammer strut, forcing the hammer to strike the valve.
Adjusting the resistance of the mainspring is as simple as replacing the spring and/or adding spacers to the equation. (Spacers reduce the amount of room for the mainspring and force it to compress more. The more compressed it becomes the greater its resistance, exerting more force when it decompresses.)
Adjusting the Mainspring:
To adjust the mainspring, first remove the mainspring housing (part number 41). To do so, pull the housing latch (part number 47) on the back of the mainspring housing out from the grip of the replica. (The stock must be removed from the MK.1 carbine to access the housing latch and remove the mainspring housing.) Then, pull the mainspring housing out of the assembled replica.
Once the mainspring housing is free, use a small screwdriver, hex wrench, or punch to push the bolt stop retaining pin (part number 43) out of the housing. Be very careful since the mainspring is under tension and may �shoot� the housing latch and mainspring detent (part number 46) out of the housing. (Try pointing the housing into a plastic bag when pulling the retaining pin out.)
Downgrading velocity will require replacing the stock mainspring with one or more replacement springs and, possibly, spacers. Experiment with different configurations to achieve the desired results. If one spring alone is not powerful enough, the addition of spacers and even a narrower (smaller outside diameter) spring nested inside of it will increase the resistance. Springs nested inside of a larger spring combines the resistance of all of the springs achieving a greater, net resistance than each of the springs alone.
Upgrading velocity is as simple as adding spacers to the mainspring. The greater the space occupied in the mainspring housing by spacers, the less room the mainspring has to compress. The result will be greater compression on the mainspring and greater resistance placed on the hammer strut. Too many spacers, however, and the mainspring will not have enough room to compress and will not allow for a full trigger pull. Using several washers instead of one large spacer (e.g.: an AirSoft bb) will allow for greater control and customization. Alternatively, the stock mainspring can be replaced with a stiffer spring or spring combination or supplimented with another spring nested inside of it.
When adding spacers, make sure to insert the mainspring plunger into the housing first, followed by the mainspring. Then add the desired spacers. The mainspring detent then goes in after the spacers.
Afterward, reassemble the mainspring housing, reassemble the replica, and test fire the gun. When downgrading velocity, it will immediately be evident whether there is enough resistance in the mainspring to fire or not. If it will fire, chronograph it and determine whether it needs more tuning. It may take several combinations and experiments to find the right mix of springs and spacers.
If you are looking to find some springs and spacers check out your local hardware store. They will have a great selection to chose from.
(all numbers used in my review will be found in the packet that comes with the gun.)
This gun is amazing and you need to buy this. You won't regret your decision to purchase this gun. Best gas gun under 150 dollars. You need to get it.
Once again I need to thank Teamblackjack for the help on figuring out how to upgrade this gun. And I hope this review helped you all out.
Hope you get this gun.
-I am Jaybird
- Holy CrapI've picked one on these wee beasties up on a trip to Shorty's storefront. Let's just say, Being on the receiving end results in some very nice welts. 17 round mag capacity is a little on the small side, but the fact that the thunderous roar is enough to scare anyone dumb enough to get in close to giving up.
Accuracy is fairly good, The trigger pull is a little severe to the uninitiated, but once you get used to it, it's like butter. Takedown is a breeze, as is reassembly. Get a spare clip or two, also consider a good case.
The mag release is a little cumbersome at first, but, with some practice, you can get a faast relad out of em.
And, for an added bonus, the mags work in the carbine version, Thus doubling the savings when you buy both >:3
- Holy Fudge!!!Wow man!!! Freaking amazing!!! Pros/Cons:
- Powerful shooter
- Awesome accuracy
- Awesome looks
- Great feel
- Magainze release rocks
- Good gas consumption
- *Almost colappses* SEVENTY DOLLARS!?!??!?!
- Capacity is kind of on the small side
My friend got one of these and all I could say was, "WHOA!!!!" It is AMAZING to say the least! This is the only gun my friend had (kind of a stupid buyer), but he fairs well in an airsoft skermish. And unless I am mistaken, this is designed after a Ruger. Which I had the luxury of using while I was in Ohio seeing my grandpa. He had one, and let's just say that... Well, actually I liked his Glock alot better. Cause the Ruger wasn't all that powerful...
But with the AIRSOFT Ruger, I have to say it is AWESOME!!! It is so much like my
grandpa's ruger, I was like, "WOWZAAS!!!". Though it did not have the fancy magazine release, nor the zoom-in rear sight.
Me and three other of my friends are starting an airsoft team. Right now we are waiting on the money from our sponsors so we can buy our primaries:
Me (Support) - A SAW
Two Team Leaders (Snipers) - UTG M324
Other Dude (Demolitionist) - Some AEG, and then a Grenade Launcher.
And when it comes to my sidearm (if we have enough after the primaries), this is definetly gonna be what I am gonna get!!!
Rating - 5/5 DUH!!!
Happy Shooting,
Bringing You Quality
And Punctual Reviews
Since May 2006
- What can i say? Get It!! @w@This gun is truly a cannon. There are currently two versions of this gun available. The MK1. and the MK2.- the MK2 a pistol/sniper rifle. As far as the MK.1 is concerned, i have mixed feelings, but i wont be biased.
This gun doesnt require a long review. It has a good range, a nice price tag, gets over 50 rnds per mag refill, fires as fast as you can pull the trigger, a decent accuracy, has a low drop in velocity, fits in any standard pistol holster and looks great with a silencer. I exceptionaly love how you cock it. the slide grips are on the very back of the gun and pull back smoothly.
I have a few problems with it. Two are more cosmetic than anything but one is desperatly important.
The trigger pull is atleast 15lb's or more!!!
Takeing the magazine out requires two hands
And DO NOT! UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE! Loosen The Hop-Up Too Much.
The hop-up is held in place with a screw and a rubber o-ring. If you loosen it too much, it will pop out and you have to strip the gun to put it back in place (or maybe to find that it has broken). Either way, be careful.
Aside from those ONLY three minor problems- i belive this gun should sell out everytime it comes instock. Also? You are better off buying this gun at Shorty's. I cant seem to find it cheaper else where that doesnt r*pe you on the shipping.
- You have no ideaThis gun is insane for just $70, dont ask just buy it. solid metal,and yea its not a blow back but the power is well wow, and has a nice kick to it. the accuracy is crazy, molds to your hand quite well. i have a real luger 22 and this thing identical in feel and weight and the accuracy is practicaly the same to. no flaws other than the low capacity, just buy extra mags and your set. Personaly i dont suggest xtreme gas just cause the kill factor like it says 450-460 fps, oh yea this is a cannon(super loud)green gas works just fine,i suggest toy jack, 380-400 fps.
- MK.1I have the carbine version(shorty should get it) and i put a bushnell 4x32 scope ion it and it out ranges upgraded m24's and aps2'2, also it cronos at about 576 with RED GAS, and about 520 with green/top gas!!!!! i recomend this pistol because the trigger pull gets easier from using it and i found out that if you take the hammer spring out and put a spacer(1/2 BB) at the bottom it has enough strenth to use RED GAS or even CO2!?!?!?!
**ps** CO2 is not recomended and swells the mag ALOT, and you need pliers to take it out of the gun. HOP UP IS ADJUSTABLE WITH THE SMALL HOLE ON TOP OF THE GUN!!!
- wowthis is the best airsoft gun i have ever purchased. it packs some serious power and has incredible range and accuracy. forget what the range says on here with xtreme gas my gun had no problem topping 150 feet and still being accurate. and it is only $70. this is one of the best airsoft guns with one of the greatest prices out there. i only suggest buying a spare mag and xtreme gas for it
- Very very powerfullI bought this gun a while ago (3 months before shortys put this gun up) from speedytoys.com and it works great. the trigger pull is a little hard (because its an nbb) but its speed and power is phenomenal. It is a pretty loud gun and is very intimidating. Its mag capacity is a little low but with this thing it doesn't matter. My friends wont let me use it because it hurts so much. This gun is based on the ruger MK1 .22lr, also known as the assasins pistol and as the nickname states is the weapon of choice for assasins because of its built in silencer. The airsoft version is far from silenced! it has to be one of the loudest gas pistols out there. overall, this is a plinking gun, not really made for wars. It is made for EXPLODING yes EXPLODING soda cans!
- Wicked sweet This gun is so cool its not very heavy but the fps makes up for it and since its not a blowback if u fill the mag with gas it lasts about 3-4 mags the there r 2 thing i don tlike about this gun the triger is kinda hard to pull and the mag doesnt hold very many rounds but besides that is an awsome gun
well hope this helped

Meridian Township fire officials are calling three fires in the Carriage Hills Complex suspicious and an arson investigation is underway, after a third fire destroyed three apartments Saturday night.
There have been three fires in three weeks in the area, all starting in a car in a garage. The fires have started on the weekends, between the hours of 10:30 p.m. and 1 a.m. Two of the fires spread to the units behind causing more than $700,000 in damage. The other was contained, when the condo owner spotted the fire and doused it with a garden hose.
Police are increasing patrols in the area. And they are asking residents to keep an eye out for anything suspicious, as well as making sure garages and cars are secured. The Michigan Fire Marshall is assisting in the investigation. Police say they don't have any suspects yet.
Carriage Hills managers say they are looking into the situation. They're busy helping residents. Some who've lost everything in the fires.
Anyone with information can call the arson tip line at 1-800-44-ARSON.

BOSTON -- A private funeral was held Tuesday for Martin Richard, who at 8 years old was the youngest victim of the Boston Marathon bombing, his family said.
A private funeral Mass was held with immediate family in the morning, followed by burial, according to a statement released on behalf of the family. No other details were provided.
The boy was laid to rest and that he is now at peace, the statement said.
"The outpouring of love and support over the last week has been tremendous," it said. "This has been the most difficult week of our lives and we appreciate that our friends and family have given us space to grieve and heal."
The family, from Boston's Dorchester neighborhood, said it would hold a public memorial service in the coming weeks to celebrate Martin's life.
The boy was among three people killed when two bombs exploded at the finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15. His mother and sister were among the more than 260 others wounded.
Krystle Campbell, 29, of Medford, and Lu Lingzi, a 23-year-old Boston University graduate student from China, also died in the attack.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology police Officer Sean Collier was fatally shot three days after the bombing, allegedly by the suspects. His funeral was being held Tuesday.

You've read our laptop reviews. You've read our conclusions. And now you're wondering how we came to them.
Good question. Reviews often lack context, which is evident in the wildly different scores some laptops receive from different publications. Conflicting opinions can actually make buying a laptop more difficult if the review's criteria isn't made clear.
Allow us to lift the veil. Here we'll explain the benchmarks we use for objective testing and the perspective from which we approach subjective topics. We don't expect everyone to agree with our opinions, but we hope that sharing our process will leave you better equipped to decide what laptop best fits your needs.
Also check out our list of the best laptops as chosen by our reviewers.
The hands-on experience
The senses of sight and touch allow us to make first judgments about the laptops we receive for review. Different laptops are made of different materials such as plastic and aluminum. While metal is generally considered "premium" compared to plastic, that's not always the case – a thin piece of metal may feel less sturdy. We strive to describe both the materials used in a laptop's construction and how those materials hold up in real-world scenarios.
During our time with a laptop – usually a week – our initial impressions are tempered by the passage of time. A finish that was at first beautiful and unique may become annoying if it attracts dirt and fingerprints too easily, and a design that seemed mundane may grow on us through its utility.
Ultimately, hands-on impressions are subjective, no matter how much time we spend with each laptop. However, our experience handling many laptops gives a unique perspective on these products, making it possible to develop informed opinions about where each product we review stands against the competition. At the least, we want our readers to leave a review with a strong idea of how a laptop looks and feels in the real world.
Interface interaction
Quality of the keyboard and touchpad is always important, and we devote an entire section to these vital user-interface tools.
We look for keyboards that offer solid key feel. To be more specific, we look for keys with a crisp action that quickly rebound when a finger is removed. Keys should not wobble or skew when pressed along a key's side instead of the center, and there should be no flex along the width or length of the keyboard when a key is completely depressed.
Touchpads need to have buttons with similar qualities, preferably in the form of separate left and right keys. Alternatives are acceptable if their quality holds up. The pad itself should respond quickly to touch and allow a finger to glide across it without friction. Multi-touch gestures should be included, and we look for them to operate without a jerky or uncertain feel.
Most of our reviews barely mention touchscreen quality because most implementations provide nearly identical feel. Instead, we spend time talking about related features like a convertible laptop's hinge or a touchscreen all-in-one's software.
Display and audio impressions
Though the design of a laptop is in the eye of the beholder, the display and audio systems on these products straddle the line between what is subjectively pleasant and what can be objectively measured.
We attempt to incorporate a bit of both in to our judgment of a these components. Using the laptop naturally reveals the quality of the display, but there are also tests used to provide a measurable impression. We use the Spyder4Elite color calibration tool and its built-in quality measurement suite to test the display's brightness, black levels, color gamut, contrast, and screen uniformity. We don't report all of these numbers in every review unless they stand out in some way. Our benchmarks are conducted in a darkened room to make sure ambient light does not skew the results.
Audio quality is judged by a number of subjective tests. A typical benchmark includes YouTube HD, podcasts, and streaming music. During our tests, we constantly adjust the volume to see how (or if) performance degrades as the speakers become louder. We also report on bundled audio quality tools, such as equalizer's or noise cancellation features, if they are installed.
Hot stuff
Heat is always an issue for laptops. Fast processors give off plenty of warmth while operating, but the slim frame of a laptop leaves little room for airflow. The way a notebook deals with the buildup of heat directly impacts usability.
Ideally, a laptop should not warm significantly on either the top or the bottom, but it's rare that this is the case. We take note of where a product warms as we use it both on a desktop and in our laps and measure hot-spots with an infrared thermometer. The results are often referenced in our reviews.
In addition to this real-world testing, we use stress test programs such as OCCT and Furmark to simulate the maximum possible load that a laptop might encounter. While doing this, we also make note of reported CPU and GPU temperatures to see if they become hot enough to be a potential source of instability.
We also measure fan noise during our temperature tests. We use a decibel meter in an environment where ambient noise does not exceed 38 decibels. Noise is measured during idle, at full CPU load, and at full GPU load.
A lasting impression
Battery Eater is our primary synthetic benchmark, and we use both the Standard and Reader's Test. Standard simulates an extremely high workload. Reader's Test simulates simple productivity, such as reading and editing Word documents. There's usually a large gap between the results produced, and that's to be expected. The load placed on a laptop significantly impacts endurance.
We also test battery life with the Peacekeeper browser benchmark. This simulates how long a laptop will last when used for heavy Web browsing. The benchmark runs continually until the battery gives out.
All of our battery benchmarks are conducted at 70-percent display brightness with Power Saver selected in Windows power management. However, we will use a manufacturer's custom power management settings if they ship with the laptop and can be configured to keep the display lit during our tests.
The test chamber
Most of our judgments take place during real-world use. For example, we usually use the laptop being reviewed to actually write the review, meaning the reviews you read on our site are written on the laptop pictured in the review's photos. When it comes to performance benchmarks, however, each laptop has to spend some time alone, cranking through an array of tests.
Our current suite includes:
- Sisoft Sandra (processor)
- 7-Zip (processor)
- PCMark 7 (full system performance)
- 3DMark 06 (graphics)
- 3DMark 11 (graphics)
Laptops designed for gaming are also judged by gameplay experience in titles Diablo 3, Far Cry 3, and Skyrim. We use FRAPS, a well know benchmark program, to take accurate framerate readings. Interpretation of the results matters as much as the numbers themselves. A laptop that scores very well in our processor benchmarks, for example, may fail to impress us if it also posts a poor score in PCMark 7, which tests multiple components and then bundles them in an overall result.
Reaching a verdict
The most difficult part of every review is the verdict. This is where we decide if we're going to recommend a laptop and determine how the outcome of each section fits together to form a final score.
Verdicts are usually handed down from the perspective of what the laptop is built to accomplish. Poor battery life on a gaming laptop won't significantly impact the score, but an ultraportable with the same problem could lose several points.
Competition must also be considered. Laptops are becoming better with each passing year as each brand tries to better its peers. Most of today's laptops offer an experience that is reasonably pleasant, and none fail as a computer. But most people need just one laptop, and they want the best available, which is where the little details – such as key feel and fan noise – make a difference.
Value is also important. We don't expect to see a high-resolution display and quad-core processor in a laptop that ships at $500, and we won't knock it for lacking those features. A laptop that costs $1,500, however, may lose points if it skimps on hardware.
We hope that everyone reading our reviews will be able to understand our thoughts and our conclusion. Even if you don't agree with our final verdict, the information.

David Irving, Hitler and Holocaust Denial: Electronic Edition, by Richard J. EvansTable of Contents
|(B) Suppression of releva... >
|(J) Conclusion >>
(A) Misquotation and Skewing of Documents: The Goebbels Diary
1. A number of historians have argued with some force that while the initiative for these events came from Goebbels, he wanted to have Hitler's approval from the very outset, and Hitler gave it. The fact that Hitler left the Old Town Hall after dinner on the evening of 9 November without giving his traditional speech is taken as evidence that he and Goebbels considered it important for Hitler, as Head of State, not to incur international opprobrium by being associated with the pogroms, which were presented by Goebbels's propaganda machine as spontaneous outbreaks of popular anger (contemporary reports in fact indicate that there was widespread disquiet among the German population, especially at the destruction of so much property).
2. However, in his various accounts of the events, David Irving argues that Hitler did not approve of the pogrom, did not know about it until it was well under way, and tried to stop it when he found out about it. In order to give this impression, he systematically distorts and manipulates the evidence in a way that is wholly unacceptable to serious historical scholarship.
3. The first example of such falsification of the historical record is on pages 273-274 of his book Goebbels: Mastermind of the 'Third Reich', where Irving writes:
Events that evening, November 9, are crucial to the history of what followed. As Goebbels and Hitler set out to attend the Nazi reception in the old city hall, they learned that the police were intervening against anti-Jewish demonstrators in Munich. Hitler remarked that the police should not crack down too harshly under the circumstances. 'Colossal activity', the Goebbels diary entry reports, then claims: 'I brief the Führer on the affair. He decides: Allow the demonstrations to continue. Hold back the police. The Jews must be given a taste of the public anger for a change.'
4. The original German of the entry in Goebbels's diary to which Irving refers in this passage reads as follows:
In Kassel und Dessau große Demonstrationen gegen die Juden, Synagogen in Brand gesteckt und Geschäfte demoliert. Nachmittags wird der Tod des deutschen Diplomaten vom Rath gemeldet. Nun aber ist es g.(ar). Ich gehe zum Parteiempfang im alten Rathaus. Riesenbetrieb. Ich trage dem Führer die Angelegenheit vor. Er bestimmt: Demonstrationen weiterlaufen lassen. Polizei zurückziehen. Die Juden sollen einmal den Volkszorn zu verspüren bekommen. Das ist richtig.
5.An accurate translation of this passage would be as follows:Irving's account of this diary entry, given above, misquotes it and skews it so as to misrepresent its contents.
Big demonstrations against the Jews in Kassel and Dessau, synagogues set on fire and businesses demolished. The death of the German diplomat vom Rath is reported in the afternoon. But now the goose is cooked. I go to the Party reception in the Old Town Hall. Colossal activity. I brief the Führer about the matter. He orders: let the demonstrations go on. Withdraw the police. The Jews must for once feel the people's fury. That is right. 13
6. In this passage, Irving completely omits the reference to the demonstrations and widespread destruction of Jewish property in Kassel and Dessau which is the context of Goebbels's talk with Hitler as reported in the diary, and gives the entirely false impression that the context was provided by 'some anti-Jewish demonstrators' in Munich. This suggestion is nonsensical. No contemporary source, neither Goebbels's diary nor the Nazi Party's Supreme Tribunal, makes any reference to 'anti-Jewish demonstrators' making their presence felt in Munich before Hitler's arrival at the Town Hall. As Irving himself admits in his Pleading, such events did not take place in Munich until much later, on the evening of 9 November 1938.
7. Irving also fails to note that the phrase 'colossal activity' refers to the meeting in the Town Hall (basically it just means there were a lot of people there) and not to the alleged demonstrations in Munich. 'Hold back the police' is absolutely wrong as a translation of Polizei zurückziehen: its proper translation is: 'withdraw the police'. 'Hold back the police' would be 'Polizei zurückhalten'. 'The Jews must be given a taste of the public anger for a change' is also erroneous as a translation of the last sentence in the German quotation above. Nowhere do the words 'taste' or 'for a change' occur. The cumulative effect of these mistranslations and omissions is to give the impression that Hitler merely ordered the Munich police not to intervene against some unspecified 'anti-Jewish demonstrators in Munich'. But what Hitler really said to Goebbels, as is evident from the Goebbels diary entry, was that police forces should be withdrawn in the case of 'demonstrations' against Jews, so that the Jews would feel the 'people's fury', as expressed in the burning of synagogues and the destruction of property which had occurred in Kassel and Dessau.
13. For a similar translation to the one provided above see Saul Friedländer, Nazi Germany and the Jews: The Years of Persecution 1933-1939 (London, 1997), p. 272.

Heidi Klum says she's in love.
The 39-year-old, who with husband of seven years, Seal, in January, recently told German magazine Bunte (via People) that she has found love once again.
"Yes, I'm in love," Klum said of her bodyguard-turned-boyfriend, Martin Kirsten.
And, it turns out, Klum's four children are quite taken with Kirsten too.
Seal must love this.
"They like him very much," Klum said. "This is also one reason why I'm so fond of him. He's been helping me for four years now. And he takes wonderful care of the kids. He plays with them, he protects them. I trust him."
When news broke of Klum's romantic involvement with her bodyguard, Seal told TMZ he wished his wife had more class than to "fornicate with the help."
Seal's comments, no surprise here, were only the beginning of what turned out to be a nasty divorce. The case was finalized two months ago. Klum has insisted that there was no romance between her and Kirsten until after she seperated from Seal.
"I'm someone who believes in a fairy tale and when I said I do, I meant forever," Klum told Katie Couric in September. "But I don't know... You never know what happens. Life changes. It's that road with all those bumps and holes and you're trying to struggle through them. And I don't know... we just couldn't make it work, you know?"

Damaging winds expected as storm system nears
Published: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at 10:26 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at 10:26 a.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Officials with the Tuscaloosa city and county school systems have not made a decision on whether school will be closed or delayed Wednesday due to severe weather.
Tuscaloosa County Schools Deputy Superintendent Walter Davie said system officials will make a decision this evening.
Lesley Bruinton, spokeswoman for the Tuscaloosa City School System, said they'll make a decision Wednesday morning.
Damaging straight-line winds are expected in West Alabama during the early morning hours Wednesday.
Thunderstorms are expected to develop along a front that will begin moving toward west and central Alabama around midnight Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service in Birmingham.
A secondary line of storms could develop over central Mississippi around midnight. The two lines of storms could merge as they draw closer to West Alabama.
Damaging winds are the greatest threat, but some rotation could form after 2 a.m., according to the NWS.
Storms are expected to be in the Tuscaloosa and Demopolis area between 2 and 4 a.m. and move to a line between Birmingham and Selma between 4 and 7 a.m. The times could change as forecasters monitor the system today.
The NWS considers the threat for isolated tornadoes to be low to medium, but greater for wind damage.

NORTH RICHMOND -- One by one, mothers and other family members walked to the front of the church and pasted a sticker bearing a name and two praying hands onto a white board, a small but poignant memorial to their children and loved ones who fell to gang violence.
"It brought back so many emotions, good and bad," said Tunisia Benjamin, who lost Derrick Cooper, the father of her young twins, to a shooting in North Richmond in February. "But it felt good to be with people who care and who understand."
More than 50 people came to Greater New Bethel Apostolic Church on Sunday for a special service honoring the mothers and other loved ones who have lost men to gun violence in North Richmond, a tiny neighborhood that has the highest per capita homicide rate in the Bay Area.
The event was organized by Pastor Sidney Keys, who moved his church into the neighborhood last year and has sought to attract young people and families of those most in need to his congregation. Keys put a sign on the fence in front of his church that reads, "No violence; Know peace."
"North Richmond really is a forgotten community," Keys said. "And it's important to us to bring our ministry out into the streets, to the people and let them know they have support and love here."
Sunday's event comes amid increased awareness of the ongoing public safety crisis in this mostly unincorporated community -- a few square blocks are in the city of Richmond's borders -- which has just 3,200 people but has already seen two homicides this year and 19 since 2010.
The homicides, which are investigated by the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office, are rarely solved, a fact that sheriff's officials attribute to tight funding and a lack of community cooperation, but that critics say is the result of poor performance by law enforcement.
Several teenagers were also in attendance Sunday. Keys said he uses a white van to go around the neighborhood on Sunday mornings to pick up kids for breakfast and basketball, along with church services.
Richmond Councilmember Corky Boozé, who attended the service and spoke for more than 20 minutes, said he was troubled by the lack of public services in the area, noting that garbage dumping in empty lots remains prevalent and that tall weeds and graffiti mar virtually every block.
A development of newer homes is divided from the public project housing by a cinderblock wall, Boozé added, calling it a "barricade" and an example of how the community is isolated and neglected.
"This community has always been lost in the eyes of the political arena," Boozé said. "It's obvious that nobody cares what happens in North Richmond."
Keys said Sunday's service was about emphasizing that community members whose loved ones have been killed ¿will not be forgotten and standing together against violence.
The program included a prayer dance performance by 5-year-old Zyon Brown and remarks by Boozé and Mattie Scott, executive director of Sojourner Truth Foster Family Service Agency Inc., and herself the mother of a young man killed by gun violence.
"It's time we as a people stop the killing and start the healing," Scott said.
After the service, the mothers and other loved ones of the dead gathered for a home-cooked lunch in an adjacent multipurpose room. At least a dozen of the people who sat in the church's long wooden benches raised their hands when Keys asked if they had lost someone to community violence.
"It feels very good to not be forgotten," said Lynn Hamilton, who had two stepsons die due to violence in North Richmond. Marquis Hamilton, 20, was gunned down in front of a store blocks away from the church in 2011; Nelson Earl Hamilton III, 23, was killed in North Richmond on March 8.
"I hope that our example and the pain we share can spare other mothers from going through this."

Any possibility that PMS could support streaming MLB.TV???
Thanks in advance!!
MLB.TV is a paid service that allows you to watch live, or previously archived MLB games on a coumputer. It runs on Flash 10, with the option of adding a plugin called "NexDef" which allows an upgraded HD quality feed. NexDef is currently broken on Windows 7 (although they promise that they are trying to fix it) hence my investigations.
I can snoop the URLs immediately after opening a feed form the listing page. [http://mlb.mlb.com/mediacenter/index.jsp]
EX snoop shows: (http://mlb.mlb.com/flash/mediaplayer/v4 ... 4.swf?v=16)
I tried installing PMSEncoder and adding the feed to my web.conf file, but i think that my syntax is either wrong, or this just wont work the way that i hoped. The directory structure appears, and i get the pretty mlb logo on the game name that i added, but when i try to open the stream i get a "corrupted data" error
EX code from web.conf:
Any ideas? Any plans for future support? I know there has to be other people out there looking for MLB.TV and the PS3 to play nice.

Despite escaping with a Game 2 win, Washington would really be rolling if two of their stars weren't struggling... and is it time for Carey Price?
If the Washington Capitals' secondary support ever fully engages, it might be easier to score their games in touchdowns. Nicklas Backstrom, defined as a "secondary" player only because he plays on a team with Alex Ovechkin, was huge for the Caps in their 6-5 overtime win against the Montreal Canadiens, completing the hat trick in extra time for the Game 2 victory that gives us a 1-1 series heading back to Montreal.

'Big Z' was being outplayed by his counterpart Tyler Myers until the hulking Bruins defenseman got going in the second half of Game 2.
The Buffalo Sabres were winning the battle of big through four periods of their first round series with the Boston Bruins. But that's all changed now.
by Ryan Dixon - April 15, 2010 11:33 PM UTC
With a hot finish to the regular season and a goal in Game 1, the Sabres' top sniper is getting hot at the right time... and the Buffalo experience.
BUFFALO – Thomas Vanek has found his touch. Vanek starts each season as a guy with an outside chance to win the Rocket Richard Trophy, but it wasn't until the end of this campaign that he started to look – and feel – like his old self.

If this is indeed the end of Modano's career, does he belong in the Hall of Fame or will he fall a little short?
Even those who follow the Dallas Stars closely don't yet know if Mike Modano will return for a 21st NHL season next fall. The end of Modano's career would mean the beginning of a good old-fashioned hockey debate, centering on whether or not the career-long (North) Star deserves entry into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

The Pens have yet to beat two of their toughest Eastern foes this season; Avs have much to be proud of; and Travis Moen's scary night.
A few here and there's from around the hockey world… • ESPN's Pierre LeBrun shed light on an interesting fact after Pittsburgh's shootout loss to the Washington Capitals Wednesday night; the defending champs are now 0-1-2 versus the Caps and 0-6-0 versus Atlantic rivals New Jersey this season.

Montreal's been on a tear of late and it's been second-tier guys as much as the headliners who deserve the credit.
Being bottom-heavy certainly isn't weighing down the Montreal Canadiens. The fact Scott Gomez has finally come to life has certainly helped the Habs, winners of six straight.
by Ryan Dixon - March 11, 2010 12:15 PM UTC
Each of the top teams have legitimate concerns heading into the playoffs, which makes this year's bracket primed for upsets.
The NHL playoffs are never hard to get excited about, but when you inject the fallibility factor into this year's pending series of best-of-seven showdowns, the layers of intrigue multiply like San Jose springtime failures.

Is Carolina sacrificing a future star for a late-season push? Was Dan Ellis close to being traded? When will Buffalo wake up? And a handshake for the ages.
A few wondering hockey thoughts to tee up the weekend. • The first live NHL game I saw after watching the Olympics was the Carolina Hurricanes at the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The man who almost put Canada into OT in the Olympic semifinal will now be looked upon by Vancouver aid to help a Stanley Cup run.
With the 2010 deadline providing more trade blahs than buzz, we decided to go outside the scope of swaps to discuss an addition that could pay dividends between now and the warm day when the Stanley Cup gets handed out.
by Ryan Dixon - February 23, 2010 9:40 AM UTC
It's time for the home team to stop looking for others to step up and to start taking it upon themselves to make something happen.
If Team Canada is to stir up a rallying cry at the Olympics, they'll need every voice on site to contribute. The path to gold got a bit longer than Canada had hoped for after they lost to the Americans Sunday, but that doesn't mean all is lost for a team that has more than enough talent to overcome a setback or two.
by Ryan Dixon - February 18, 2010 12:28 PM UTC
The main justification for a potential Canada flop at the Games is the crushing pressure of playing in front of a home crowd. But the expectations are there for a reason.
Listen to any Canadian Olympic coverage and you'll notice a Saskatchewan-sized chasm with regard to how hockey fortunes are couched versus the rest of the events.
by Ryan Dixon - February 11, 2010 2:00 PM UTC
In the midst of a slide down the standings, getting their super sniper back on track would go a long ways towards reversing the trend.
With the world's best countries ready to gather for an elite display of hockey skill that could color the experience of an entire generation of die-hard fans, this seems like the perfect time to… look right past the Olympics and figure out if Buffalo Sabres supporters are set to have their hearts broken again.

Today's Speak Up on Kotaku actually involves speaking up, as commenter Tengen Toppa Duck Face laments over the lack of voice acting in the latest Zelda game.
To be totally honest, I'm really disappointed that (The Legend of Zelda) Skyward Sword doesn't feature any voice acting. In my opinion, Skyward Sword will be the best looking (not necessarily stylistically, but in terms of textures, quality, etc) and sounding (once again, I mean the fact that it's orchestrated, not that it'll have the best songs) Zelda yet. I never want Link to speak, but I was hoping everyone/thing else would. Maybe I'm just shallow, but a voiceless Hyrule (or... Skyloft, whatever) is starting to feel archaic. I wouldn't even care that much if they went with a made-up language, a la Shadow of the Colossus or Animal Crossing, just give me something. I know it's not the most important part of the game, but I wouldn't play Mass Effect, BioShock, L.A. Noire, and many other games if the voice acting sucked/didn't exist. I'm still getting Skyward Sword, but I hope the Wii U Zeldas do things differently.
What does Brotaku think?

Although the official start of spring is only days away, Summit County is accustomed to at least a few extra weeks, and sometimes months, of unofficial winter.
But the 2011-12 season has been unusually dry and now weather forecasters say it's unclear whether Summit County will get the spring snowstorms that traditionally supply local resorts with powder through April and sustain Arapahoe Basin into the summer.
Summit County could get its first dusting of fresh snow in more than a week tonight, but the storm doesn't have much potential for moisture and is expected to clear out by mid-week, according to forecasts from the National Weather Service in Boulder.
"Historically, you can still get a big storm through March and even through April, so there's still the potential there," NWS meteorologist Scott Entrekin said. "But at least after this first (system) moves across, there's not much going on. ... The later (in the year) it gets, the less chance there is of getting any significant snow."
March is usually one of the snowiest months of the year for Summit County. This year, it was expected to help make up for the lack of snowfall in the early season.
But a resurgence of precipitation in January and February has ended, and, halfway through, March has produced only 6 inches of snow for Breckenridge.
Breckenridge averages 26.4 inches in March and received 32.1 inches in March of 2011.
The South Platte River Basin is currently at 76 percent of its average snowfall for the season, while Breckenridge is lagging behind its normal season-to-date snow totals by nearly 40 inches.
Temperatures have hovered in the 40s and low 50s over the last several days, but there is a possible shift in the weather pattern starting tonight and continuing through Tuesday.
The best chance for new snow - up to 3 inches at the higher elevations - is tonight, with overnight lows expected to sink into the 20s, according to NWS forecasts.
The cold spell could continue through early next week, but with a slighter chance of precipitation.
Monday has a 50 percent chance of snow and a high of 31 degrees. Tuesday has only a 30 percent chance of precipitation and a high of 29.
Forecasters expect conditions to dry out again by the end of the week.
The avalanche danger in the Summit County and Vail zone has abated somewhat. As of Friday, the danger was moderate (level 2) on all aspects, according to reports from the Colorado Avalanche Information Center.

Thread: Best Amber Frag for Men?
Ok, I've just noticed about a million amber frag threads. Sorry!
I have a TON of Full Bottles/Decants/Samples for trade/sale. Montale, Oud Oils, Amouage, Mancera, Penhaligon's
Chanel Egoiste
Two of the best still remain, in my opinion, Ambre Sultan and Prada Amber.
My favorite Amber fragrances are:
Armani Prive - Ambre Orient
Tom Ford - Amber Absolute
Bond No. 9 - New York Amber
Histoiries de Parfumes - Ambre 114
SL - Ambre Sultan
D&G - The One
Profumi del Forte - Versilia Vintage Ambra Mediterranea
There are a lot of other good ones, but these are my favorites.
Amber comes in different flavors so you have to choose
Halston Man Amber (Unsweet Amber)
Amber Sultan - Serge Lutens (Spicy Amber)
Ambre Russe Parfum d`Empire (Boozy Amber)
Montale Blue Amber (Sweet and powdery Amber)
Prada Amber Intense (Soapy Amber)
Thanks for all the responses. I've tried Ambre Sultan and Ambre Russ. I've also sampled Atelier's Ambre Nue which is lovely.
Does anyone know anyone who has Ambra Mediterrenea that might be able to send me a sample? This sounds exactly what I'm after: amber with some woodiness to it.
Royal Amber by Micallef is one I like a lot.
...Ambre Précieux...!
I really like Ambre Precieux and Ambre 114. They're similar, but AP is a little louder, spicier, and more opulent. A114 is subtler and less dense. Both are excellent.
My wardrobe is up to date.
August/September Rotation: Silver Mountain Water~Green Irish Tweed~Layton~Acqua di Gio Profumo~New Musk Man~Cedre Atlas~Star of the Season~Private Label~Oud Saphir~Terre d'Hermes Parfum~Haitian Vetiver~Masculin Pluriel~Baccarat Rouge~Bleu de Chanel~Vintage Polo Sport
Amber Oud, Ambre Sultan, Ambre 114 and Ambre Precieux. I have been wanting to get my nose on New York Amber by Bond no.9.

4. Pure Malt
5. Tonka Imperial
6. Dior Homme

8. L'air Du Desert Marocain
9. Noir de Noir
10. Terre D'Hermes
Ambre Précieux
What about Mona di Orio's Ambre?
- - - Updated - - -
Prada Amber pour Homme Intense is an amazing amber fragrance.
Some amber fragrances that I like - I don't normally like amber fragrances because they are normally too sweet, but these are good:
Aftelier Parfums Amber
Historie De Parfums 1725 Casanova
Dior Ambre Nuit
L' Air du Desert Moroccain
currently on shelf: daxon iridium super cedar thé noir 29 lemon in zest eldo hermann essenza royal leather mississippi medicine "on the road" oud shamash boadicea the victorious oxford millesime imperial sunday cologne hinoki hermes eau d'orange vert

Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur
DIOR Homme Intense

Example sentences

With another band of severe weather forecast to move through mid-Missouri, the Missouri Department of Transportation is reminding motorists to be on guard for flooded roads and downed trees and power lines.
Drivers can check MoDOT's Traveler Information Map, located at http://www.modot.org/, or call the department's toll free number, 1-888-ASK-MODOT, to get the latest information on road closings due to high water or debris or power lines covering state highways.
"We want to remind motorists that it's never safe to drive on a water-covered road," said Central District Engineer David Silvester. "Just a few inches of fast-moving water can carry a vehicle away."
In addition, Silvester said, roadbeds can wash out, leaving deep gaps. Drivers should also be on the alert for tree limbs and power lines brought down by heavy winds. MoDOT offers motorists the following driving tips that can help avoid delays and unsafe conditions during the rainy spring season:
• Slow down and use caution when driving in rain to avoid skidding and hydroplaning. Leave plenty of following distance.
• Never move or drive around barricades placed on roadways due to high water. Barricades are a warning designed to protect you from an unsafe condition. You can put yourself at serious risk if you proceed into a flooded section of road.
• If a road is closed, find another route.
• If a road is covered in flood water, but is not closed by a barricade, do NOT drive into the high water. Stop and turn around. Notify the police, sheriff or the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
• When windshield wipers are needed, turn on your headlights. It's the law.
• "Turn Around - Don't Drown" if highways become impassable.

Beck's next album to released as sheet music Aug 10 2012
In a move that harkens back to composers of old, Beck's next album, 'Song Reader' will be released in December as sheet music of 20 unreleased and unrecorded songs.
The sheet music will come with full colour art works for each song as well as a hardcover carrying case. Two of the 20 songs are instrumentals. The 'album' features the tracks 'Do We? We Do' and 'Don't Act Like Your Heart Isn't Hard'. The idea behind the release is for fans to play the songs and 'bring them to life' themselves.
