PUKALANI - If Saturday night is any indication, things are on the upswing for the King Kekaulike High School football team's offense.
In their first game, Na Alii rolled up 330 yards, 19 first downs and five touchdowns in a 54-37 loss loss to Pac-5. King Kekaulike was last in the Maui Interscholastic League offensively in 2013, averaging 133.1 yards per game.
Even the King Kekaulike defense that surrendered 515 passing yards controlled the line of scrimmage well enough Saturday to throttle the Pac-5 running game to the tune of minus-34 yards. Linebacker Drevyn Tavares had three sacks, and the defense also scored a safety.

"Oh, we absolutely hope so," coach Kyle Sanches said when asked last week at practice if things are headed in the right direction. "We have some returning coaches, guys who have been here that are buying into the system, they have been working hard. For us it is about taking the next step, it's the progression of things."
Sanches became Na Alii's third head coach in three seasons when he took the helm last year.
Former Baldwin three-sport standout Jason Lopez has joined the staff, which also includes veterans Joe Nekaifes, Sean Higuchi, Ed Gregg, Eddie Alamillo and Nathan Bird.

"Anytime you have got consistency and (the players) see that you are here for the long haul - I have no intention of leaving the program any time soon - it's good," Sanches said. "This year the buy-in from the offseason, throughout spring ball and thus far this fall is a lot better than it was last season."
Kawika Homalon steps in at quarterback for Na Alii after two-year starter Ryley Widell decided to concentrate on baseball. Against Pac-5, Ho-malon ran for 20 times for 129 yards and three touchdowns, and was 4-for-13 passing for 98 yards, with two scores and no interceptions.
Homalon was the team's leading rusher last year, with 201 yards and two touchdowns.
"He's been excellent," San-ches said of Homalon. "He was in the running for the (quarterback) job last year and he did an excellent job for us at the running back position."
Homalon said he is ready for the new challenge.
"Really excited," he said. "I just thank God for the opportunity to serve as quarterback for our team and to take all the responsibility and lead the team to victory."
Na Alii were 1-8 last year, a second straight one-win season.
"We can be very good," Ho-malon said. "We just have to be as one and just play hard."
Corry Brown caught a 42-yard scoring pass from Homalon, returned four kicks for 100 yards and booted a 40-yard field goal on Saturday. Joshua Ogata had two receptions for 41 yards and a touchdown.
Ogata, a second-team MIL All-Star as a freshman, is healthy for the first time in three seasons - he underwent surgery on his right shoulder at the end of his sophomore year.
"Now, I'm very confident with it, it is stronger than before," Ogata said.
Ogata is in his fourth season with the varsity program.
"I believe in our system and our line and our coaches," he said. "I think Kawika can get the ball to other people and I think we will have a good year."
Ogata will also play safety, and is one of several members of the 40-player roster who will line up on offense and defense.
"States, I want to win," he said of this year's goal. "The outlook is good, we all want to win. I believe in our coaching staff 110 percent. If they tell me to jump, I will jump for them, man."

A Makawao resident has been elected the 97th student body president at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
"I feel like this school gave a lot to me, and I want to give back," said Mark Kaniela Ing, a 2006 Kamehameha Schools Maui graduate now studying on Oahu.
Ing said he is the first Maui resident to serve as UH-Manoa's student body president in decades. He said he ran his campaign on the promise to "bring the Hawaii back into UH," and work toward making student government more open and accessible to all studying on the campus.

Ing's campaign included T-shirts that were produced and donated by the Wailuku-based Royal Hawaiian Shirtworks. He also received contributions from other supporters.
"We came through because we had the aloha, laulima and genuine malama on our side, and really got out and made personal connections with each student we met," Ing said.
He won 43 percent of the vote, with his closest competitor receiving about 38 percent of the vote.
Ing, 20, is studying both psychology and music, and expects to graduate in spring 2010. The son of Annette Ing of Makawao, Mark Ing attended Makawao Elementary and Kalama Intermediate schools.
He said he plans to enroll in law school at UH after earning his bachelor's. He said he's interested in a career in public interest and Native Hawaiian rights law.
For more information about student government or Ing's initiatives, visit: asuh.hawaii.edu or www.uhelections.com.
Ing is also an executive with the fledgling Maui nonprofit Roots Rhythm Foundation, whose purpose includes introducing and preserving music programs in Hawaii public schools.
Ing's brother, Matthew Kaulana Ing, is the founder and chief executive officer of the nonprofit, and currently runs a project at Palolo Elementary School on Oahu, where he volunteer teaches ukulele to 3rd- to 5th-graders.

The VEGETARIAN
SOCIETY of
HONOLULU Quarterly
Volume IV, No. 4, Dec. 1993
* supporting human health, animal rights, and ecology *
President's Message
Aloha friends,
This quarter there has been a change in the operation of our organization. When the Vegetarian Society was founded in 1990, a Board of Directors was appointed because we were required to have one. Very few duties were spelled out, and three or four people did everything. As our membership grew, the same few people handled the increasing work load, with a big rise in stress levels.
In 1991, Board member and experienced corporate executive Peter Burwash strongly recommended that I draw up job descriptions so that the work could be more evenly distributed, but I was so busy doing most of the jobs that I never had time to write the descriptions! Last summer, Vice President Alida Quistgard again brought up the subject of job descriptions and volunteered to write them herself. Working together, we distributed all known duties among fourteen jobs and gave each job a title. The intention was to turn our symbolic Board into a true working Board. Although this may sound a little strange in the corporate world, it is a fact of life for all-volunteer organizations. No one is getting paid for his/her work, so hard-working volunteers should at least have titles and a say in running the organization.
It was a tense period for me as I mailed the job descriptions to the Board and waited. Would enough people agree to share the work, or would the entire organization collapse? With great regret, six members of the Board resigned. It was painful for all of us to accept the necessity of the resignations; these people did (and still do) care deeply about the organization. They simply didn't have the time to handle specific duties. Nervously looking at the remaining skeleton crew of four officers and three very new members, I put out a plea for volunteers to fill the most essential positions. Jerry Smith, my always-optimistic partner, reassured me that, just like the baseball diamond in the movie "Field of Dreams", if you build it, they will come.
And they did. Twelve out of fourteen jobs are now filled with committed volunteers. They might make a few mistakes as they learn their jobs, but their enthusiasm is contagious and we will all benefit from the change. Especially me! Please look at the new list of Board members and candidates in this newsletter so you can become familiar with their names and titles. Each of them is donating his/her precious free time to help educate others about the benefits of vegetarianism. Each of them is invaluable to us and we love them like family; without them we would not survive.
If you would like to be one of the people who directs our organization AND does the work, consider filling one of the two remaining jobs: that of Outreach/Education Director or that of Special Events Coordinator. Summaries of the duties of these two jobs are included in this newsletter.
Best wishes,
-Elaine French

Fine Dining at the Bottom of the Food Chain
Well, Kauai is not exactly accessible by road, but, if you find yourself hungry at dinner time on the Garden Isle, wheel on down to the King and I Thai Cuisine in Kapaa. Just a short jaunt from Lihue you'll find some good, hearty vegan fare in a separate menu section. The setting is quiet and pleasant and casual enough for relaxed dining. The helpful waitress was attentive to providing for our needs all mealtime, not just to take our order. The prices are quite modest even for our stingy pocketbook at between $5.25 and $6.50 for a main course with rice extra. Brown rice is also available. They're at 4-901 Kuhio Hwy in a shopping area on the mauka side of the road. Call 822-1642 for more info.
Rolling on to the North Shore of Oahu, we found gustatory salvation at Paradise Found Cafe, a totally funky looking fast food eatery that has a Key West atmosphere. From 9-6 Mon-Sat and 10-6 Sunday hours, you'll get filled up for almost any meal on low fat, mostly vegan food. Prices are low, considering the laudable quality of the simple fare. The black bean soup was souper (sorry), whole wheat chapati roll-ups were bountiful, and mock chicken salad sandwich delicious. The foods were well presented by the Jane of all Jobs order taker-food preparer-waitress-cashier. We dined during change of shift, so we sampled the service of two of the staff; both were helpful, patient, and accommodating. Too bad the owner hasn't opened a place in the Makai Market, just where I need it most. Search out this great little place on the makai side of the road inside the Celestial Natural Foods market, which, incidentally, has a good supply of bulk organic grains and lentils. Park behind the market by entering at the Haleiwa Post office and turning left to the public parking area. Catering service is available. Find Paradise at 66-443 Kam Hwy: 637-4540.
Our last stop on the road today is a short one: Buzz's Original Steak (Oh, sorry) House, 413 Kawailoa Rd. on the mauka side of the street across from Kailua Beach Park at the river. If you happen to be in the area with animal eaters for dinner mates, you can find a generous salad bar with warm bread. There are some appetizer possibilities to supplement the menu, but you're in animal eater country here. The food is no great shakes, but the atmosphere and service are pleasant with both indoor and lanai seating. This place has been around almost forever, but its menu is too limited for it to be on my list of favorite places.

Bean Dip
Combine beans, tofu, salsa, garlic, and chili powder in a blender or food processor and mix. Stir in green onions and serve with fat-free tortilla chips. This delicious and easy bean dip was a hit at the November monthly meeting. A big thank you to Mary Rieman for bringing the pupus and the recipe!
Mock Tuna Salad
Combine all ingredients and chill. Serve as a sandwich spread or salad. We feed these mock tuna sandwiches on home made whole wheat bread to our VSH office volunteers to keep their energy up. Our Vice President likes them so much she claims she lives on these and nothing else (not recommended!)
Tofu Mayonnaise
Combine tofu, mustard, salt and cayenne in food processor and spin until very smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides once if necessary. With the machine running, add the vinegar, lemon juice and rice syrup. Chill.
Whole Wheat Bread
(for Panasonic breadmaker)
Stir together flours, gluten, salt, and sugar in a bowl; pour into breadmaker cup. Add applesauce and water. Put cup into breadmaker and close lid. Put yeast in top compartment and follow instructions for whole wheat bread making.

Members who want to have more involvement in VSH plans and activities are invited to attend our Board of Directors' meetings. The next meeting will be held Sunday, January 9 at 3:00 P.M. at St. Clement's Church. Meetings start on time and can last as long as three hours. Please bring your valid membership card for identification.
Under our recent reorganization, the following Board positions still need to be filled:
1. The Outreach/Education Director responds to requests for VSH presence at health fairs, environmental fairs, and other community events. S/he determines the number of volunteers needed at the event and the type of volunteer skills needed. S/he arranges for literature distribution and book sales when appropriate. S/he arranges for VSH speakers when requested by outside groups.
2. The Special Events Coordinator plans activities involving important speakers or other events, such as the Peter Burwash seminar or the YES! Tour. S/he works with other Board members to ensure room rental, tickets, publicity, and all other details are arranged. Only one special event per year is suggested; additional ones are optional.
We could also use a volunteer to take over the planning of our quarterly Adopt-a-Highway cleanup. If no one volunteers, we plan to resign from the project and notify the state to remove our sign from the highway.
Are you a single vegetarian? Or a formerly single one? Vegetarian Journal is planning an article on unmarried vegetarians and is looking for true life experiences to relate. Any ideas about how to meet people or what kind of events are available for veggie singles would be welcomed by the editors. Send your contributions to Jean Krasnansky, The Vegetarian Resource Group, P.O. Box 1463, Baltimore, MD 21203.
Cheryl Chung, for 1-1/2 years chief coordinator of the VSH phone tree until its replacement by the present quick-mail service, wishes to express the gratitude of VSH to coordinators Clay Roberts, Susan Rodesky, Karl Seff, and the many volunteers who worked under them.
Cheryl also thanks the pupu providers for the monthly meetings, including Ted Booth, Jack Boyle, Marcia Deutch, Hedy Hagar, Katalina Lambert, Phyllis Mettauer, Otome Myers, Mary Rieman, Jerry Smith, Rudy Smith, Sunita Swarup, and Freeman and Eva Wright. Ted and Mary fixed pupus twice each, and we hope we didn't miss anyone else.
The Island Vegetarian
World Farm Animals Day, 10/2/93, was a pleasant affair with a short speech at the Gandhi statue in front of the Honolulu zoo by Dr. Cromwell Crawford, VSH member and chairman of the UH Asian Studies Department. Kat Lambert and Kathy Goeggel were on Channel 22 a week before to explain why Gandhi would have approved this event, and Keith Krueger dressed up in the now familiar cow suit to put the lei on the statue, while Shankar Bhat, M.D. sang a nice a cappella Hindu hymn, appropriate to the occasion. Thanks go to the Watumull family, who erected this noble statue, and to the Indian community for participation...Rosalind Phillips, M.S., M.P.H., R.D., coordinator of nutrition and health at Castle Hospital spoke to us on 10/12/93 and gave the benefit of her nutritional knowledge plus some remarkably beautiful food slides...the Peter Burwash lecture at the Ala Moana Hotel on 10/25/93 was a smashing success; Peter's dynamic delivery style and the content of his speech resulted in a standing room only crowd. 400 tickets were sold, and the club netted $1689.12 after expenses. Thanks to Peter for donating his time, and to Dick Allgire for featuring him on KITV-4 a few days before the event. Kat Lambert and Eliot Rosen did a first rate job on the PR. Bill Arakaki, Oi Man Chan, Ruth Heidrich, Terrell McGruder, Andy Mertz, and Mary Reiman manned the VSH booth and the ticket desk...Dick Allgire gave us more of the same on 10/9/93 in the Saint Clement's Episcopal Church chapel. In addition to a highly informed, illustrated, and motivational talk, Dick plays geetar and regaled us with his five stanza composition "The Dead Cow Blues," which is a blast...Bob Jones (Midweek columnist) 3/24/93: "Julia Child, the woman who put Americans back in touch with their food, eats butter, meat, chicken skin, cheese, ice cream, fatty salmon, goat cheese, oils, fried foods and wine. If it pleases you, eat it. Let the grains-and-beans gurus stew in their own broths." Bob Jones Midweek 10/3/93: "I've made it a policy since my own (open heart) surgery six years ago to be supportive of recovering patients." Yuh caint teach a mule nuthin' less'n yu wack him on the haid first t' git his attention. Ah reckon that ol' Missouri farmer just didn't use a big enough mallet, Bob...
Eva and Freeman Wright are the restaurant reviewers for VSH. "We just like to eat good quality food and try out new flavors," says Eva. "We're into hot spices."
They met in 1979 when Freeman, who has an electrical engineering (B.S.E.E.) degree from the University of Maine, was the manufacturer's rep for General Electric, assigned to keep an eye on the nuclear engines of U.S. submarines.
Eva, with an R.N. and two M.S. degrees, was on the faculty of the University of Hawaii School of Nursing, teaching medical-surgical nursing to students.
"We were low-fat oriented for a long time," says Eva, but they didn't make the veggie switch until they returned to Hawaii in 1991 after a long hiatus in California, where Freeman was minding the nukes at Mare Island Naval Shipyard.
"We had more restaurants to choose from in San Jose, but we weren't vegetarians then."
What finally brought about the switch?
Freeman thinks the Dean Ornish book, Reversing Heart Disease, did it for him. "My mother has diabetes and heart disease," he says "and I didn't want it." After going to a lacto-vegetarian diet he dropped from 175# to 150#.
Eva found that she had more energy after the switch. "Definitely the ecological and ethical considerations were important. Animal agriculture devastates third world countries and damages our own water supply," she believes.
It's not that Eva and Freeman eat out all the time. "We're also into cookbooks," says Eva. "Freeman is the breadmaker, I do the rest." They're now mini ovo-lacto-vegetarians, which means just a little bit of dairy, and the egg yolks go in the garbage. "We use small amounts of olive oil, maybe a half teaspoon on a loaf of bread, and some tofu. Probably about 10-20% of our Calories come from fat."
"People have lost their cooking skills over the past forty years," says Freeman. "Everybody used to cook, but now they open cans and microwave the contents. Just to say vegetarian isn't enough. There was a news story about a vegetarian teenager whose diet was mostly cheese and avocado sandwiches."
What about spreading some veggie ideas among the UH nursing students? "They giggle at me a lot as they eat their meat and butter, but at least they know about it," says Eva. "We'd like to organize a cardiac prevention program, but most of the patients are too old to change. It would be good to start dietary education in kindergarten, but unless people feel vulnerable, they won't change."
Does that mean that when they're still young enough to change, they won't, and when they're finally old enough to get the message, it's too late? And what about those third world countries that make a beeline for the animal food as soon as they get enough money to buy it? "Business pressures drive their economies," says Freeman. "As per capita income goes up, they're ready to buy, and what the U.S. has to sell isn't vegetarian. Many countries just copy everything that's Western."
That echoes Andy Rooney, who jests that the final revenge for the Pearl Harbor attack may just turn out to be American fast food joints in Japan.

Book Report
A Consumer's Guide to Alternative Medicine
by Kurt Butler
Prometheus Books
New York
ISBN 0-87975-733-7. 281 pages.
P.T.Barnum: "There's a sucker born every minute."
Joe Makaratz: "Barnum under estimated by a factor of sixty."
"Peter Popoff grossed tens of millions of dollars through performances in which he called out people in the audience, named their ailment, and performed miraculous healings with the power of Jeeezzus. It turned out he was using a tiny radio receiver, hidden in his ear, to get the information broadcast by his wife backstage." While few other flim-flam artists reach such pinnacles of deceit, many of them continue in business, unlike Popoff, who was finally undone by James Randi, a magician, and Johnny Carson, an amateur magician.
This exposé is appropriate reading both for vegetarians, who historically appear susceptible to irrational notions, and to omnivores, who incessantly search out magic cures for the diseases brought on by their diet.
The most serious offenders in this catalogue of schlockmeisters are major book publishers, who investigate health claims with all the sense of responsibility of The National Inquirer. If a book will sell, they'll print it. TV personalities like Donahue, Rivera, Oprah, Sonya, S.J. Raphael, and even Larry King also emerge as promoters of the bogus. However, most of Kurt Butler's specimens are exploiting the deficiencies of the standard medical system. If the medical nostrums all really worked there wouldn't be any market for quacks. But they don't, and there is.
Carleton Fredericks, a chain-smoker who inflicted on a gullible public the catch-all diagnosis "hypoglycemia", appears early on. Then there are numerous supplement pushers who recommend such oddities as cytochrome C and who call pangamic acid "vitamin B15", even though there's no evidence it's needed in the diet of vertebrates. Raw calf's liver and coffee enemas are used as treatment for cancer. A lady author studies therapeutics using herself as a guinea pig. "Everything she tries makes her better, but she remains unwell enough to continue seeking treatment". Past-life and polarity therapy put in an appearance as does "chronic yeast infection", Edgar Cayce's "psychic diagnosis", high colonic irrigation, homeopathy, iridology, Kirlian photography, multi-million dollar vitamin marketing schemes, orthomolecular medicine, psychic surgery, psychic astrology, rebirthing, snake blood therapy, superoxide dismutase, TM, and UFO abduction therapy. None of it's for free, and some of the advocates are making moderate to outrageous profits.
"Macrobiotics is a quasi-religious philosophical system that includes a semi-vegetarian diet based on balancing the 'yin' and 'yang' forces in one's life." But "yin" and "yang" are oriental metaphysical concepts. Who decided that potassium was 'yin' and sodium was 'yang'? Certainly not the ancient Chinese, who had no periodic table of the elements. If you balance the potassium in a vegan diet with an equal weight of sodium, you'll be adding about 1.75 teaspoons of salt to your food.
At least one name is out of place. Hawaii's John McDougall M.D., whose landmark McDougall Plan in 1983 was the first vegetarian tome to actually include a scientific bibliography, does not belong in the same volume with Peter Popoff. Kurt himself, now a Maui resident, says that if he had to remove a single section from the book, the McDougall critique would be the one.
This reviewer was not comfortable with some other inclusions, omissions, and assumptions. For example, the medical profession and the Food and Drug Administration seem to be offered as a gold standard, although Butler does admit, "Health care in America is costly and sometimes incompetent." This book is recommended however, particularly to our Board members. As VSH becomes more credible and prominent, we will be under pressure from dubious practitioners to highlight their work, thus diluting our own, which is not to treat people, but to teach, at no cost or profit, dietary changes that will keep them from getting sick in the first place.

With so much talk surrounding Luka Modric's potential move away from White Hart Lane to Stamford Bridge, as a Chelsea fan, I can't help but think: why, and how much?!
Chelsea may be lacking midfield creativity at the moment, and do have an aging side, but with that said; this just isn't the right fit.
Luka has proved to be an inconsistent midfielder at this time for Tottenham, plus his manager Harry Redknapp and the ownership is very reluctant to sell him and have raised their bargaining price substantially.
The following are reasons why this proposed transfer of this 25-year-old to Chelsea just shouldn't happen.

Kool-Aid pickles! These sweet, sour, salty, treats are a hidden gem in the deepest South. Take dill pickles, dump the juice, and fill the jar with double strength Kool-Aid (pick any flavor). I like to take it to a whole 'nother level, and throw some habanero pepper in for some heat.
Not necessarily a great food for wine, but pair these with an ice-cold shot of Vodka and we're talking "Hells Bells!"
Just so you know that I'm not making this up, The NYT wrote a story on Kool-Aid pickles last year.

CLARE — A former Clare Middle School teacher who resigned amid allegations he assaulted a student has now accused a colleague of spanking elementary school students or making them run a gauntlet with other students striking them.
"We're still investigating," said Clare attorney Ghazey H. Aleck II, who represented Michael C. Sved against charges he bumped a student against a locker. "We're going to get to the bottom of this."
Sved, in May, pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor assault and battery charge in the case involving an eighth-grade boy. District Judge Joshua M. Farrell took Sved's plea under advisement.
Aleck said Sved's daughter, a first-grader, had to receive counseling and change schools after being punished for not wearing sneakers to gym class. Other students were similarly disciplined, Aleck claims.
"I know the child took it very hard," said Aleck. "When she switched schools, she quit having stomach problems. The child did not want to be humiliated in front of her class, or possibly physically injured."
Sved became aware of the alleged incidents in the spring, said Aleck.
"I've talked to some teachers and it appears there is some substance to (the allegations)," said Aleck. "To what extent, I don't know. It's bizarre. If she has kids run a gauntlet, it's still corporal punishment as far as I'm concerned."
Corporal punishment is prohibited under state statute, he said.
"If it turns out to be true, we will pursue this vigorously," said Aleck.
He did not identify the teacher but indicated that she is a "relatively new teacher."
Clare Area Public Schools Superintendent Greg McMillan could not be reached for comment.

You may be feeling gracious today, which could find you choosing your words carefully so as not to offend others. This is as much a result of being considerate of others' feelings as it is an acknowledgement of our common human foibles. Being understanding of this and seeking to connect to the best in another person is to honor their dual nature as spiritual beings in physical form. Your goal today may be to leave every interaction knowing that you've made the other person feel better. Offering a sincere compliment or simple act of kindness can brighten someone's face and maybe even their day. By being considerate of others today, you are doing more than trying not to hurt their feelings, you can actually offer them healing.
When we shift our focus to people instead of tasks, we make a connection that enriches the experience of all involved. And when we look at others as friends, we are more willing to help and to forgive. By choosing to connect rather than overlook, we assist the flow of energy in and through our lives and the lives of those we meet. It can be a simple smile to someone we pass in a parking lot, or handing someone something they've dropped, but it can make a big impact. Today you can be gracious by reaching out to the people around you in thought or gesture to create a feeling of community and support wherever you go.

Hey I just got the same rifle....
Thanks for saving me the thread! :D
December 22, 2007, 07:35 PM
I've read the threads and here's my summary including a manufacturer's example:
Non-Chrome Barrel Breaking in procedure
A new barrel will shoot best if careful attention is given to proper break-in. Differing opinions exist as to what constitutes proper break-in, however, we recommend that no more than 20 rounds be fired at one time before cleaning the barrel - for the first 60 rounds. Each time the barrel is cleaned for the first 120 rounds, it must be thoroughly cleaned, removing all traces of copper and fouling. Recommended procedure for thorough cleaning: In all cases it is vital that cleaning tools (brushes, patches, etc.) be pushed from the breech toward the muzzle and then removed from the rod at the muzzle end. DO NOT drag anything back through the muzzle. Clean the bore with a good bore cleaner. Decopper the bore with a copper solvent. Clean the bore again with JB Bore Cleaner paste as follows; 1. Work the JB paste into a new patch. 2. Wrap the patch around a worn bore brush. 3. Push it through the bore for ten strokes. Replace the patch every five strokes. 4. Run a dry patch then an oil patch if storing the rifle. After the barrel is broken in , clean the bore immediately after each shooting session. Decopper the barrel every 300-400 rounds. Clean the bore every 1,000 rounds with JB Bore Cleaner.
Taken from Bushmaster's website.
Do a search on THR (hint: use Google including as a search term site:http://www.thehighroad.org). Look for USSRs comments in particular. I understand it's about smoothing out the throat, not the barrel or clean bore accuracy. I also understand it's a cleanliness thing, less fouling if broken in.
Finally go to Kreiger's website & read what they have to say.

December 22, 2007, 08:32 PM
1)Use good 'standard' ammo (quality fmj or soft point). Maybe for your case 150-165 gr. Spend a few bucks on the first 100 rounds and buy the name brand (rem, win, fed, whatever you like).
2)Clean the bore every 5 rounds or so and use a nice aluminum or synthetic cleaning rod (preferably non-segmented). Avoid steel. Use plenty of solvent and patches but don't forget to dry the bore and inspect for obstructions before resuming.
This is what I do-it's like breaking in a new baseball mit--EVERYBODY has a secret method.
(btw--for the mit--water soaking, slow dry tied with 3 balls in place, vaseline, shaving cream to finish (cheap, but lemon/lime scented if you like).
December 22, 2007, 08:49 PM
3rd time in a month.:eek:
December 22, 2007, 09:02 PM
1. Clean the gun.
2. Shoot the gun
3. Clean the bore using a good cleaning rod and copper solvent.
Works best if performed on winter soltice.

December 23, 2007, 12:24 PM
that sounds like way too harsh a bbl break in method. especially the jb bore paste goo. Dude, too much cleaning is worse than not cleaning at all. thoroughly clean and lube(use a solvent that does copper) after every 5 shots, for 25 shots. Use a brass brush. Then go nuts. once you get home, or are goint to clean it at the range, i like a nice foaming bore cleaner. let it sit in, and do most of the work for you.

I know next to nothing about "breaking-in" a firearm.
How do I go about it, I usually shoot 100-200 rounds each trip(short trip)
I get home, get comfy, prep the cleaning gear and give them all a cleaning.
Everytime I shoot this is done, and I usually update the round count of each
firearm.(just for the hell of it)

December 23, 2007, 07:23 PM
Just shoot it and clean it. Unless it is some super high dollar, super high quality bench rest barrel I just shoot them. On any new or new to me fire arms I always run a few patches down the bore before shooting.
December 23, 2007, 08:51 PM
That tidbit from bushmasters website is an incredible amount of work. People who live far enough from a range in the city would go crazy with that procedure.. Only shooting your rifle so little before you are required to clean it would drive me nuts, when I go to the range I want to stay at the range. Not shoot for 10 minutes, pack up and bring her home for cleaning and repeat that several times.. Especially a new gun.
Although its not my place to question bushmasters suggestion on cleaning, in fact I'm sure that alot of R&D went into that statement, but for all my new rifles I go out and shoot it, shoot it as much as I want and then clean after. Broken in.
December 23, 2007, 09:00 PM
I found working the bore with a jag, tight fitting patches and some rubbing compound or bore paste before ever firing made it very easy to clean. Got lots of black crud out of the bore. I did this way more than 10 strokes, more like 50-100, changing swab when it was black. I did not bother with one direction either, I pushed the abrasive swab back and forth.

Charleston police are looking for man who stole a car and cell phone at gunpoint in the Citadel Mall parking lot Monday.
A man told police he was waiting outside Belks about 9:30 p.m. to pick up his wife from work when a man with a gun approached his car. The gunman told the man to get out of the car and lie on the ground. Then the gunman drove off with the car and cell phone inside.
The car is a blue 2007 Nissan Altima with S.C. license plate 582 9FT.
The suspect is described as a male of possible mixed race, in his 20s, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, about 165 pounds, wearing a Tar Heel or bright blue jacket.
Anyone with information is asked to call Charleston Police at 577-7434 or leave an anonymous tip at Crime Stoppers at 554-1111.

City crews are working to remove a fallen oak tree on St. Charles Avenue between State Street and Jefferson Avenue. The fallen tree, which is blocking vehicular traffic heading downriver, also has forced streetcar operations in both directions to a halt.
Until the tree is removed, the Regional Transit Authority will provide shuttle bus service between Jefferson Avenue and State Street. The New Orleans Police Department is on the scene redirecting traffic, and the Department of Parks and Parkways also is on site.
It was not immediately clear why the tree collapsed, a city spokesman said in a news release. No property was damaged as a result of its fall, and no one was injured. City officials could not predict when regular traffic will resume.

"We do it every year for our brothers," said Vietnam veteran Leo "Smooth" Ethier of Delanco in Burlington County.
"I'm talking about all our brothers," Ethier, a member of the Nam Knights of America motorcycle club said, adding that the rally paid tribute to those who died in battle, along with prisoners of war and the missing in action.
Veterans and their supporters gathered with their motorcycles in the morning at Warinanco Park in Roselle, then rode to the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel for a ceremony at the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
State Police Sgt. Miguel Estrada, at the Holmdel barracks, estimated that "close to 1,000 bikes" made it to the arts center for the 14th annual ceremony. Many bikes had more than one rider and hundreds of others came by car.
The POW/MIA issue was the main one emphasized by leaders of the rally, sponsored by the Ocean County-based Rolling Thunder Chapter 2 of New Jersey.
Rolling Thunder, based in New Jersey and with chapters across the United States, believes more than 1,000 U.S. military personnel are still missing in Southeast Asia from the Vietnam War.
"We just want an opportunity for the American people to hear about that," said Paul Carro of Summit, a Vietnam veteran.
Rolling Thunder is backing federal legislation to establish a select committee in the House of Representatives devoted to the POW/MIA issue. The latest version of the bill, sponsored by Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), would expand the committee's scope to include Iraq and Afghanistan.
"If we don't stand up as veterans for the missing, who's going to do it?" asked Lenny Mundy of Piscataway, another Vietnam veteran.
"I made it back," said Rolling Thunder Chapter 2 President Lou Amoriello of Little Egg Harbor Township, a veteran of Operation Desert Storm in Kuwait. "I want to make sure everyone else comes back."
"The motorcycle is a tool to raise awareness," added Amoriello, who acknowledged he likes the feeling of "freedom" derived from riding a motorcycle. "It clears your mind," he said. "It's good therapy."
Besides publicizing the POW/MIA issue, Rolling Thunder provides direct service to disabled veterans and to families of veterans. It raises funds through donations and by selling such items as T-shirts, patches, pins and stickers.
Today's ceremony included speeches devoted to the POW/MIA issue along with a laying of wreaths in front of the wall listing the 1,562 servicemen and women from New Jersey who were killed during the Vietnam War or are still classified as missing.

Transfer Meghan McDougall to Join Womens Golf Team
MUNCIE, Ind. -- Meghan McDougall, who played her freshman year this season with the University of Kentucky women's golf team, will transfer to Ball State and has signed scholarship papers to compete for the Cardinals.
A product of Markham, Ontario, and a graduate of Bill Crothers Secondary School, McDougall is a former Future Collegians World Tour All-American. She played in two events last fall at Kentucky and will be eligible to compete next season for Ball State as a sophomore.
"Meghan is a very highly ranked golfer in Ontario and Canada," Ball State coach Katherine Mowat said. "She will no doubt play a big role in our team's success over the next three years. She is an exceptional student and she is very committed to her golf game."
McDougall was a member of the Team Ontario under-19 squad in both 2010 and 2011 for the Golf Association of Ontario, and she won a silver medal at the 2010 Ontario Summer Games.
Last summer, McDougall won the junior girls' division of the 2012 CN Future Links Atlantic Championship by 14 strokes. This past winter, she competed in the prestigious Dixie Amateur.
"Meghan will fit in well with our team and will help lead this program to new heights," Mowat said. "I am very excited to have the opportunity to coach such a talented student-athlete."
As a high school senior, McDougall led Bill Crothers Secondary School to a third-place finish at the 2011 Ontario provincial high school championship. She maintained a 76.4 stroke average her senior year, and her average as a freshman at Kentucky was 77.67.
McDougall attended the same high school as Kelsey Sear, who signed with Ball State last fall and will be a freshman for the Cardinals next season. Ball State already has two Ontario natives on the roster in Jenna Hague and Sarah Westaway.
