Ok, what has given you guys the best success with reloading .30 carbine. Most likely not looking for max loads, just plinking ammo that will cycle the M1 reliably.

Thanks for posting this question. I'll begin loading for the Carbine soon also.
March 13, 2008, 09:04 AM
H110, it was developed just for the .30 Carbine.
March 13, 2008, 10:15 AM
I have an M/2 that I've owned for over 40 years. I shoot only my own cast bullets and still use the same powder I started out with in the '60s, Alliant (then Hercules) 2400. I get full function in either mode and it appears nearly eternal case life with the stuff!
I originally stuffed about 13.5 under a straight wheelweight Lymans 120 pointed gas check but have backed down to about 12......only because the cases I have are a mix of military and commercial stuff that varies in capacity. Accuracy level seems to be just about what one would expect with fmj surplus stuff. It works, I like it so I'll just keep on with it.
March 13, 2008, 10:20 AM
H110 has also worked for me.
March 13, 2008, 12:31 PM
AA9 and 2400 for me
March 13, 2008, 01:00 PM
I've used Winchester 296 and Accurate #9. Both work well in the Carbine round.
Hope this helps.
March 13, 2008, 04:50 PM
Speer 110 grain HP's or SP's and IMR4227 with regular small rifle primers. 13.0 to 15.0(compressed).
March 13, 2008, 08:29 PM
Have any of you ever used a copper plated bullet instead of a FMJ for reloading the 30 Carbine?

March 13, 2008, 08:35 PM
WC820. Look into it, I am not sure how long the surplus stocks are going to last. Will cost you a small fraction of the price of canister powders, and it was designed for 30 Carb.
March 13, 2008, 08:53 PM
Here is a link to a carbine info page (http://www.odcmp.com/Services/Rifles/CMP_Carbine_Notes_2007.pdf) provided by the CMP. It is a .PDF.
It lists the actual military load.

Comedies are getting more and more vulgar, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Fifteen years ago, just about every comedy was rated PG-13, and anything to do with families ended on some fake sentimental uplift straight out of an old TV sitcom. New comedies are a relief from that, but when they're vulgar for the sake of vulgar, that's just another form of dishonesty,
We're the Millers is right down the middle, sometimes crude to be crude, sometimes finding humor in the crude world we live in. Sometimes it's labored, sometimes it's funny. Sometimes it feels like four people worked on the screenplay and not one of them loved it, and sometimes it sneaks up and finds a laugh or two.
Get past the comedy and there's almost something weird at the movie's core — a deep cynicism about family and a longing for family, both at the same time. But the screenplay is too much of a patchwork to express anything deep or unconscious.
Still, the setup has something: Jason Sudeikis is David, a small-time drug dealer who is forced to go to Mexico to pick up several tons of marijuana and drive it across the border. Because a lone, scruffy guy crossing the border is more likely to get stopped than a wholesome American family, he recruits a stripper (Jennifer Aniston) to pose as his wife and hires a runaway (Emma Roberts) and a neighbor (Will Poulter) to pose as their kids for the drug run.
That adventure and its aftermath make up We're the Millers, and along the way, we find the usual personality clashes and gunplay — yes, gunplay. It's a comedy about drug smuggling, after all. A big weakness of the movie is that its characters are constantly doing things against their own interests. Comedies don't need to be believable, but they do need to be logical.
As befitting a movie written by a committee, We're the Millers is too long, with everyone's bits included. But the cast carries it a long way. Sudeikis is appealing, if a little too nasty at times, though that's partly the role. The kids are comically skilled, and Kathryn Hahn and Nick Offerman are fairly funny to the extent they get a chance to be.
All these mild and almost virtues don't quite add up to a recommendation, but if you said you wanted to see We're the Millers, I wouldn't block the door.
We're the Millers

BAYONNE — Global Container Terminal CEO Jim Devine stood on the dock under a large white reception tent, where the delicate cucumber and feta cheese hors d'ouvres were in sharp contrast to Devine's earthy manner and the immense black hull of the APL Latvia, a post-Panamax container ship tied up nearby.
Devine was hosting a gathering of 200 or so shipping industry VIPs to officially unveil the Port of New York and New Jersey's first semi-automated terminal, which uses digital technology and some unmanned equipment to unload, stack, track and retrieve shipping containers faster than the fully manual operations still in use at all but one other terminal in the United States.
"We're actually catching up," to the rest of the shipping world, Devine said of automated port technology. "If you went to Asia, if you went to Europe, you would see this five years ago, 10 years ago."
Devine said the new terminal sets "a high water mark for the region, in terms of safety, in terms of efficiency, for where the region needs to be."
Post-Panamax vessels like the APL Latvia, with its capacity of 4,050 40-foot shipping containers, are expected to become more common in the port following an expansion of the Panama Canal next year, which will open up direct shipping lanes between Asia and East Coast ports.
Port officials say automation will help terminal operators like Global take full advantage of the economies of scale afforded by the huge vessels by allowing them to unload faster and spend less time on the dock — a key element in keeping shipping costs down.
"In terms of improving the productivity of the port, clearly we are encouraging (terminal operators) to improve their turn time," said Rick Larabee, port commerce director for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, who was among several agency officials attending the dockside event.
So far, so good, said officials at Global, which conducted trials using the new automated technology last week, when it loaded containers onto a barge that then carried them to a Global facility on Staten Island to be loaded onto rail cars for overland distribution.
The operation averaged 28 moves per hour, according to a spokeswoman for Global, Louanne Wong.
The rate exceeded the port's overall average of 24, and might have broken 30 if not for high winds, said Rich Ceci, Global's vice president for information technology, a port automation guru who helped design the country's only other automated terminal, in Norfolk, Va.
Ceci noted with some pride that Norfolk's first automated operation, involving a relatively small container ship, averaged just 22 moves per hour, and he and Devine said Global's goal is 40 moves per hour in ideal conditions once everyone is accustomed to the system.
"Right now we're right where we want to be," Ceci said.
The Port of Long Beach, Cal., is now developing what is considered a fully automated terminal, which should go into operation next year.
A tour of the nearly completed $330 million expansion on the Bayonne-Jersey City border showed off Global's 20 red, white and blue rail-mounted gantries, which stack and retrieve containers in 10 rows that are set on a diagonal to maximize space on the terminal's narrow pier jutting into Upper New York Bay. Stacking and tracking software tell the gantries exactly where to place each container, and then how best to retrieve it when a trucker arrives to pick it up.
Excessive waiting time for trucks is among several problems identified by a task force formed by the Port Authority this winter to recommend ways to improve port performance.
The expansion also includes a 50-percent increase in dock space and total acreage, both intended to double Global's s annual handling capacity in advance of projected growth in container volume over the next decade.
Devine said automation would also improve safety, by removing truckers and longshoremen from several dangerous situations required by fully manual operations, including locating and retrieving containers from canyon-like rows of stacks.
Global and port officials say the reduced waiting time linked to automation will also cut unhealthy truck emissions, something environmentalists and community activists fear will increase around the port with rising container volumes in the post-Panamax era.
The physical expansion of the Global site on 170 acres owned by the Port Authority was part of a lease deal signed by the company and the agency in 2010, when the Port Authority purchased Global's original property at the same time that it bought a nearby 130-acre waterfront site from the City of Bayonne.
In conjunction with the Global lease, the Bayonne purchase, which totaled $235 million and also included an access easement and 100 underwater acres, was billed by the Port Authority as an effort to secure increasingly scarce waterfront property to insure the greater port's future growth.
But the Bayonne deal came under renewed scrutiny last week, when The New York Times reported that its real purpose was to infuse the financially strapped city with cash from the Port Authority to avoid a costly taxpayer funded bailout by the administration of newly elected Gov. Chris Christie.
The purchase, according to The Times story, was one of the first Port Authority deals orchestrated by former Deputy Executive Director Bill Baroni, a Christie appointee who resigned last year amid the George Washington Bridge lane closure scandal.
• With port jobs and dollars at stake, task force aims to smooth the flow of goods
• Longshoremen rally against dock automation eliminating N.J. jobs
•Expansion of Port Newark Container Terminal will spur job growth, Gov. Christie says

November 10, 2004, 02:04 PM
I see Cav Arms is marketing AR furniture in a variety of hues. Anyone seen one of these? As I am thinking about building my own I thought this might be a good anti-tactical feature. Anyone have pics??

Sure. CavArms stuff is good quality.
November 10, 2004, 02:25 PM
I don't have pics but I just installed a set (handguard, grip, and tele stock) of coyote brown on a gun I had laying around. It looks cool, I like it. Seems like decent quality stuff.
Brownells carries some of the more popular colors, i.e. green, coyote, black. If you're looking for something like pink you might have a hard time finding it. These guys http://www.jdtactical.com/ have some other colors as well. I couldn't find very many places that sold the stuff where I could order it online.
November 10, 2004, 10:09 PM
I have, and really like, cav arms furniture in coyote. Quality stuff.
November 10, 2004, 10:17 PM
I have two untactical colors: yellow and gray. I don't have pics with the gray furniture on, but here is a shot of my rifle with the yellow furniture.
Cav Arms furniture is top notch for the price, in my opinion.
November 10, 2004, 11:33 PM
There's a lady on http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/ who has a pink AR. Hot pink at that. The picture may still be there, but you could pop by and do a search for coloured AR stocks.
Or go here. There's a picture of the Cavalry Arms stocks. Not on a rifle though.

November 10, 2004, 11:52 PM
I know this might be hard for some of you, but if you can handle buying a $5 can of spray paint, you could always do it yourself. Just take it off your gun, paint it, let it dry, and put it back on. I know that isn't as exciting as spending a whole lot of money buying it from special vender, but it is a whole lot cheaper.
I know, their stocks are probably molded in that color so you can scratch it and it won't be black underneath. I still would rather paint it again than spend a bunch of extra money on something else. But that is just me and I like to pain my own rifles.
November 10, 2004, 11:52 PM
I wish Cav Arms would make another run of the glow in the dark funiture and lower receivers.
November 11, 2004, 12:30 AM
this would go well with the yellow gun in the uglyest guns thread!
November 12, 2004, 04:18 PM
this would go well with the yellow gun in the uglyest guns thread!
LOL! :) I have a Cav lower that is yellow. Not a problem with it that I can state. I would recommend them to anyone!

HOOVER, Ala. - After last season's awful 4-8 record - the least number of wins for Florida since the Gators went winless in 1979 - Florida coach Will Muschamp shifted into evaluation mode.
He wasn't just reviewing last year's injury-filled season in which 16 players, including 10 starters, sustained season-ending injuries. It was a complete study of his first three years in Gainesville, highlighted by an 11-2 record in 2012 when Florida won seven games after trailing.
"After three years looking at what you need to do to improve to take steps forward, we played consistently well on defense," said Muschamp on the first day of SEC football media days here Monday at the Wynfrey Hotel.
"We needed to make some changes on offense. I felt like our kids had lost confidence in some things we were doing offensively."
The numbers don't lie.
Last season, Florida ranked last in the SEC in scoring (18.8 points per game) and yardage (316.7 yards per game). So Muschamp fired offensive coordinator Brent Pease and hired Duke OC Kurt Roper.
"Roper was a great hire for us from a standpoint of a guy that philosophically is on the same page with me as what we want to be--that's a balanced offense," Muschamp said. "Last year at Duke, he had over 20 rushing touchdowns, over 20 passing touchdowns. That's the type of balance I think we'll need in our league. You can't get one‑dimensional in this league or you're really going to struggle, in my opinion. We've been too one‑dimensional on offense.
"It was good to see our offensive kids having fun again on the field in the spring. I was really excited about that, but probably what excites me the most is this is probably the most talent we've had on offense in my four years at Florida."
Junior quarterback Jeff Driskel, who's 12-3 as a starter though he missed the last nine games a year with a broken leg, agrees with Muschamp's assessment.
"It starts with the offensive line," Driskel said. "It's the best we've had since I've been here. Our first six guys all have experience and size. We have a stable of running backs and receivers who made lots of plays for me in the spring."
He said what: "It's never good when there's a waiting line in that (rehab) room" - Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel on the Gators' 16 season-ending injuries last season.
Biggest worry: Florida is on its third offensive coordinator in four seasons. Can quarterback Jeff Driskel, who started just three games last year before sustaining a season-ending injury, return to his freshman season form when he threw for 10 touchdowns?
Biggest comfort: Sophomore all-American defensive back Vernon Hargreaves, an NFL first-round prospect in waiting, is the perfect leader for a secondary that will boast three new starters.
What it means to LSU: With Driskel now back in a shotgun formation - he played in it two years ago before going under center most of last year, Florida is capable of putting more points on the board than at any time since Muschamp took over the Gators in 2011.


text: How to move up? Here is my perspective as an employer and small business owner. 1. Realize that it isn't about you, it is about your company or organization. You are employed to serve the company, the company isn't there to serve you. 2. Demonstrate this through your work ethic. a. Never be late. b. Always go the "extra mile". c. Don't ever say "It's not my job". 3. Show initiative. I can't tell you how many times I've told my employees when they ask me a technical question. "I don't know the answer, Let me Google it for a while and I'll get back with you". If I'm feeling frustrated at the time I may say "You know, you have the fastest Internet connection in the area, and the world's greatest research tool in the history of man at your desk. Why don't you look for the answer, and, after you find it, ask me if what you found is the right solution"? 4. Constantly upgrade your skills. You will be more useful to your company when you know and are competent in more skills. This will require that you sacrifice some of your personal time for study and experimentation. Skip some games and TV shows and improve your skills. If you like what your company does, figure out the skills they use and need and learn those skills. 5. If you do these things your worth to the company will become evident. They will either give you a raise or you will move on to a company that appreciates your skills. 6. Memorize point 1. It is really important. If you don't get that you will never advance.

Take me under your wing?
I have been reading up on this site mostly the hacking part:D and i was wondering that it anyone was so kind enough they could teach me in depth on how to hack, make virus etcetera. The reason i chose this site to try and find a tutor is because of the quality and quick response of all its members no matter how small the question is:).Even if you only talk to me once a week i would be very pleased and happy.
thank you in advance to anyone who respands;)
Re: Take me under your wing?
Definition 1: A hacker is a person that loves to study all things in depth, especially the more apparently meaningless details, to discover hidden peculiarities, new features and weakness in them.
For example, it is possible to hack a book, by using it to equalize the legs of a table, or to use the sharp edge of one of its pages to cut something.
Definition 2: One who enjoys the intellectual challenge of creatively overcoming or circumventing limitations.
Hacking isn't "making a virus" or trying to be "elite", it's about discovery. Hackers create undocumented features, do things out of curiousity and to become knowledgeable.
If you're looking to 'creat a virus' I would say ethical hacking is not the right place to look.
Re: Take me under your wing?
I would be glad to share the little knowledge I have with you, or you can read a book:
PHP for dummies, HTML for dummies anything in that genre, learn learn learn! Then you wont even need a tutor, just your knowledge, hell you will learn probably more me.

Clot Lysis: Evaluated Accelerated Resolution of Intraventricular Hemorrhage
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) occurs in about 40 percent of primary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and 15 percent of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. IVH is a significant and independent contributor to morbidity and mortality in both. Previous studies have demonstrated benefits to treating IVH using extraventricular drains (EVD) in combination with thrombolytic therapy of rt-PA to accelerate blood clot resolution.
CLEAR-III is a multicenter, international, double-blind, randomized study comparing the long-term functional outcomes of lysing ventricular blood clots using EVD combined with rt-PA against EVD compared with placebo (saline) for the treatment of severe IVH.
In order to participate you must meet the following criteria:
- Are an adult between 18 and 80 years of age.
- Have symptom onset less than 24 hours prior to diagnostic CT.
- Have spontaneous ICH ≤ 30 cc and IVH obstructing the third and/or fourth ventricles.
You will be excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply to you:
- Have suspected or untreated ruptured cerebral aneurysm, ruptured intracranial AVM or tumor.
- Have presence of a choroid plexus malformation or Moyamoya disease.
- Have clotting disorders.
- Are pregnant.
This is a partial list of eligibility requirements. To inquire about your eligibility, please call the contact number provided. If you wish to inquire via email, please include the title of the study in your message.

Amber Heard rides shotgun with William Fichtner as a mysterious "Accountant" on their tail. Patrick Lussier directs.
"Gnomeo & Juliet" G, 1:39, Maui Mall Megaplex (3-D).

They play a pair of bored husbands given the supreme gift from their wives: permission to take a week off from their monogamous wedding vows. Imagine their surprise when they discover that their appeal falls well short of their fantasies at the same time their wives (Christina Applegate and Jenna Fischer) are having a lot more fun striking the same bargain. It's tops at the box office despite being an early front runner for worst movie of the year.
"I Am Number Four" PG-13, 2:05, Maui Mall Megaplex.
Adapted from Pittacus Lore's best-selling sci-fi novel, the story follows a teen alien (Alex Pettyfer) trying to blend into high-school anonymity to evade pursuers trying to destroy him and his fellow visitors from another planet.

Directed by Jon Chu, there's also behind-the-scenes humor and old photos and home movies illuminating Justin's path to the top.
"The King's Speech" R, 1:58, Kukui Mall 4; ends tonight at Maui Mall Megaplex.
The big winner Oscar night with well-deserved statues for screenplay, direction, best actor and best picture. With Colin Firth leading fellow Oscar nominees Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter, the wonderful historical drama tells of England's future King George VI, whose path to the throne is detoured by personal demons and debilitating speech impediment, and the treatment he receives from an unconventional Australian speech therapist. Superb performances laced with great humor make the film both inspiring and fun, even with the menace of Herr Hitlet preparing for war on England's doorstep reminding us of the grave matters at hand. It's the rare case of a feel-good movie that makes you feel smarter, too. Recommended!
''Rango'' PG, 1:47, Maui Mall Megaplex, Kukui Mall 4 and Lahaina Wharf Cinemas.
Johnny Depp reteams with "Pirates of the Caribbean" director Gore Verbinsky for this wiggy, offbeat Western comedy that has more in common with"High Noon," "Chinatown" and Clint Eastwood spaghetti Westerns than with your usual cartoon. Unrelently clever in both dialogue and visual effects, it features a would-be actor who happens to be a lizard, who somehow becomes the sheriff of the Old West town of Dirt. Not only does he have to solve the mystery of who's stealing the town's water, but he has to prove himself an archetypical hero in the process in a script that will go right over the kids' heads, but will provide nonstop diversions for film fans. Isla Fisher, Alfred Molina, Ray Winstone, Stephen Root, Claudia Black, Abigail Breslin and Ned Beatty provide voices for the ragtag co-stars. Recommended.
"Sanctum" R, 1:48. ends tonight at Maui Mall Megaplex
An expedition mapping vast, mile-deep caves in Papua New Guinea encounters freak conditions that add to the dangers in this genre adventure piece directed by Australian Alister Grierson and produced by "Avatar" auteur James Cameron. Richard Boxburgh plays the cold-fish expedition leader, Rhys Wakefield plays his kinder-hearted son with Ioan Gruffudd and Alice Parkinson co-starring. Cameron, a fan of subterranean action ever since "The Abyss," tries out his 3-D techniques in this new realm, keeping the audience guessing which cast member will be next to go in the endless fight with the forces of nature.
"Take Me Home Tonight" R, 1:53, Maui Mall Megaplex and Front Street Theaters.
Topher Grace and Anna Faris play brainy but underachieving twins, heading the cast in this homage to John Hughes comedies of the '80s. The slightly raunchy but mostly good-hearted romp takes place a a wild Labor Day weekend party where silly things happen. Dan Fogler, Teresa Palmer, Chris Pratt, Michael Biehn and Michelle Trachtenberg co-star; Michael Dowse directs.
"Unknown" PG-13, 2:08, Maui Mall Megaplex and Front Street Theaters.; ends tonight at Kukui Mall 4.
Although he is one of the most noble movie stars of our time, Liam Neeson is more fun as the greatest action hero since Matt Damon wandered into Bourne territory. Neeson is back in "Taken" mode as an American biologist in Berlin for a conference who barely escapes a harrowing car accident, spends four days in a coma in a hospital, then returns to find his wife (January Jones) pretending she's not his wife and Aidan Quinn claiming to be him. Once again, despite the reserved demeanor Neeson shows he's not the kind of guy to mess with, mixing his intelligence and nuance as an actor with a no-nonsense, no-regrets, no-prisoners approach to evening the score with whoever does him wrong. Diane Krueger is an able partner in all the action with Frank Langella, Bruno Ganz and Sebastian Koch co-starring and Spain's Jaume Sollett-Serra directing. Although the plot has some holes that reveal themselves after rethinking it all, the film still provides a fun-filled, adrenalized ride with Neeson shining once again as an action figure with a brain, a heart and a soul. Recommended.

Charleston businessman John J. Tecklenburg announced today that he is seeking election as Charleston's next mayor to work with residents to craft a common, long-term vision filled with new ideas to improve Charleston's quality of life.
"Together, we strengthen Charleston," said Tecklenburg, a commercial realtor whose family ties to the Holy City go back generations. "It is up to all of us to create a new, shared vision going forward that involves all of our citizens."
"By defining a clear and collaborative vision and then working together to make it happen, I believe Charleston's best days are ahead of us. That's why I'd be honored to serve as your next mayor."
"I'm a common-sense business person with a caring heart inspired to community service by my faith and the example of my family."
Tecklenburg said he would first focus on three priorities as mayor:
Charleston 2020: "I will launch Charleston 2020, a new community dialogue to refine a clear and compelling common vision – a blueprint, if you will – for our city's future. We'll need everyone's ideas and everyone's involvement to make our city's future greater."
CitiStat: "I will launch CitiStat, an innovative management tool to make our city work better and smarter, and to be operated in a more open and transparent way. Most importantly, we'll use it to provide better services without raising taxes. CitiStat has improved cities around the country that have used this tool."
Infrastructure and opportunities: "I'll focus on improving both our physical infrastructure and advancing opportunities for our citizens in all parts of our city. We must repair and maintain our parks, sidewalks, drainage and other parts of our public realm. In addition, we must work harder than ever to enhance opportunities for our people in education, jobs, recreation, housing, the arts and much more."
Charleston Mayor Joseph P. Riley, Jr., who has served as mayor since 1976, has stated he will not seek another term when his current term is over. The next city election for mayor is in November 2015.

Council nixes shale drilling rules
October 2, 2013
SALEM— City Council Tuesday night voted down a zoning amendment that would have restricted shale drilling within city limits....

It was Gov. Strickland a democrat that singed into law that it was the State that had authority to set the requirements to where wells would be placed. Cyndi was right on this one. The city does not have any say in where wells are placed. But if you looked at the state requirements for well placement putting a well downtown would not be permitted by state requirements. : )

What ever happen to drill here. drill now, drill baby drill. And they call themselves good Republicans. What a bunch of RINOs. I say we put them in front of a tea bag squad.

As we stated in our goalkeeper selection, round 24 of the Irish Times Fantasy Premier League takes a back seat over the weekend with the fourth round of the F.A Cup swinging into action. It is worth noting that there are no fewer than six premier league teams that are not in F.A Cup action this weekend with Newcastle, Southampton,Swansea, Sunderland, West Brom and West Ham having all be knocked out of the competition they will have the weekend off and a good rest prior to round 24. As far as defenders are concerned heading into the impending fixture round there are no major injury worries for fantasy managers to contend with both Manchester City's Pablo Zabaleta and Norwich's Sebastien Bassong set to return from injury in time for the midweek fixtures.
Obviously with round 24 not kicking off until Tuesday there will be plenty of time to keep a close eye on player and team performances over the weekend but for the moment here are our coaches thoughts of defenders for round 24.
Patrice Evra (Manchester United) £5.o million Fixture: Southampton (Home)
The United left back has been in immense form this season and despite the lack of expected clean sheets from the Red's rear guard Evra has managed to improve his attacking potential and come up with two goals and three assists in his last six appearances to bring his tally to four goals and five assists for the season. At home this season United have not been their usual solid selves managing a mere two clean sheets at the theater of Dreams, but their are signs of improvement with the league leaders collecting two clean sheets in their last four games.
The Saint's go into this one with a pretty good run of form behind them having gone the last six games unbeaten, but a trip to Old Trafford is certainly not somewhere their new managers would have wanted to go with only one game under his belt at his new club. As we stated in our goalkeeping selections, Southampton's away record is not all that bad in recent week's as Chelsea found out to their detriment, but with United looking to ensure they do not drop any more points at the top of the table the Saint's will find it tough to breach the United defences.
Pablo Zabaleta (Manchester City) £4.7 million Fixture: QPR (Away)
It's the second time in as many weeks we turn to the City full back for defensive points and after he failed to disappoint last time out it is hard to look past him once again as City make the trip to Loftus Road in round 24. Zabaleta was however unlucky enough to pick up a slight ankle injury against Fulham at the weekend but if all reports coming out of Carrington are to be believed then the Argentine should be fit in time to feature in this weekend's F.A Cup action, of course if he doesn't feature then fantasy managers are advised to watch the situation closely over the days leading up to City's clash with QPR.
QPR are on a decent run going into round 24 with the R's currently unbeaten in three games, but when the champions come to town it can all too often be a tale of too much too soon.The R's have only managed to score eight goals at home all season and I would imagine that even the injection of a new striker namely Loic Remy is going to change the fortunes against Roberto Mancini's men. City now go into a run of games that should see them collect plenty more defensive points with the toughest tests coming in round 25 and 27 as they play Liverpool and Chelsea respectively but even these games are home where the title holders have only conceded nine goals and kept six clean sheets to date.
Robert Huth (Stoke) £3.6 million. Fixture: Wigan (Home)
Oh how the mighty have fallen? It's wasn't too long ago that the safest bet for a clean sheet each week was a Stoke defender but now it seems that has gone out the window as the Potters struggle to stem the flow of goals they are shipping. Having conceded 13 goals in 4 games fantasy managers will not exactly be full of confidence heading into this one but with a home game against Wigan on the cards all may not be lost just yet as Tony Pulis's side look to steady the ship and claim clean sheet number ten of the season.
As we said Wigan are the visitors to the Britannia this weekend and there is no doubting that the Latic's are struggling. Having managed to find the net ten times this season on their travels Roberto Martinez's side will certainly find it difficult to break down a resolute Stoke defence and with their number one striker Arouna Kone currently on international duty at the African Cup of Nations the task doesn't get any easier. This fixture represents a chance for Stoke to get back on the horse and back to winning ways and despite their recent performances a clean sheet may not be too far away for the Potters.
Sascha Riether (Fulham) £3.5 million. Fixture: West Ham (Home)
The Cottagers haven't exactly been filling fantasy managers with confidence lately having only managed to win one of their last six games, but with West Ham making the short trip across town for their third London derby in as many games there will be a quiet air of optimism around Craven Cottage. Riether who is currently on loan from Bundesliga side FC Köln has been ever present this season under Martin Jol and looks to be showing the benefits of regular first team football with the German chipping in with two assists in his last five games, which interestingly enough both came on home soil.
The Hammers go into this one after that unmerciful hiding at the hands of Arsenal last time out and if they were looking for a handy game to bounce back in this most certainly isn't it. Big Sam's side have the worst offensive record away from home in the league having managed to find the net a mere six times in eleven games. Fulham of course have not exactly been at their best either and the usual fortress that is Craven Cottage seems to waining somewhat this season, but with the miss firing Hammers coming to town Riether may just be about to collect six points for his efforts.

Two hours of driving rain and thunderstorms and HAILSTONES!
Emma and I got very, very, very wet.
Luckily, my video camera is waterproof.
Unluckily, we didn't get very long with any of the cast, because of the... rain and thunder and HAILSTONES!
Here is my video clip of Rupert answering my question and one next to me: Download (WMV, 4.4MB)
I was so cold and wet that my clothes were still wet and I was still shivering, five hours later, when I got home!
But it was worth it.
Update: The vid is now available on the RGN YouTube!
There's also MORE HQ images to remind us why we love Rupert, including him posing with the masses and dancing in the rain! Thanks IHW!

I've seen a lot of volunteer plants in my life, but this takes the cake, or should I say, tomato. A reader sent in these photos along with the following:
"I had to share this with you. I purchased some tomatoes at the grocery store. Three days later, my husband wanted to have a tomato with his omelet. He said, 'What's this?' I said, 'It is a tomato.' He brought it over to me. It appeared that something green was beginning to protrude out of the side. Two weeks later, the tomato has a crop of tomatoes. I have never seen the likes."
Well, neither have I. Talk about a genetic drive to reproduce! This guy was bound and determined to have his line live on. It brings up the old saying, "Give a man a fish and you've fed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you've fed him for a lifetime." This tomato has certainly taken that lesson to heart. I'd say keep his seeds and keep planting them forever.

My wife Trudy and I have talked about making this trip for many years, a drive along the coast of the United States Pacific Northwest to photograph the lighthouses. For some reason, we put it off. Instead, we made trips to the Hawaiian Islands, Costa Rica, Mexico, the Caribbean. Seemingly all more suitable travel destinations with a more exotic feel to them. Somehow, the coast of Oregon never felt exotic, but it always came up in our discussions about where to go next.
In the Spring of 2013, we finally made the journey along the coast of the Pacific Northwest and it became an epic road trip.
We flew to San Francisco where we picked up a rental car and then drove the coast North to Seattle, Washington. We allotted 11 days from beginning to end, with the first and last day being designated flight days. The total distance, as calculated by Google Maps, would be between about 1200 miles, depending on side trips along the way. Less than 150 miles per day on average. A sauntering pace by automobile.
My wife Trudy took care of the logistics of finding us a rental car. I took on the task of exploring the route by map before we got there so we'd have a rough idea of what we would be doing, where we'd be doing it and when we'd be there.
The first task was to figure out exactly where the lighthouses were along the coast from San Francisco to Seattle. A quick visit to Amazon.com and two purchases procured me the "Illustrated Map & Guide to all United States Lighthouses" by Bella Terra Publishing, LLC, and the "FYDDEYE Guide to American Lighthouses" ISBN 0984905405 / ISBN-13 9780984905409.
In addition to the two printed references, I also used my internet connected PC to plot the positions of every lighthouse along the Pacific Coast on Google Earth. I ended up with a "kmz" waypoint file which contains the latitude & longitude of every lighthouse, which I loaded into Google Earth to give an exact location when viewed on the laptop computer I'd be bringing with me. Lastly, I also loaded this "kmz" file into my Garmin Nuvi GPS which would be used to navigate when we were actually on the road. It took a few days to get everything marked and loaded into the GPS but it was well worth the effort.
I knew there would be many lighthouses along the coast, but I was surprised when I added the total lighthouse counts in California, Oregon and Washington. California alone has over 40 lighthouses, not all of which would be visited as many were further South along the coast than we'd be traveling. Oregon has 11 coastal lighthouses and Washington has over 25. I had pinpointed 85-90 lighthouses and it quickly became obvious that seeing them all simply would not be possible. I whittled this list down to a number of "must see" lighthouses, which wasn't all that difficult. Some lighthouses are not on the route, some are simple light stations and not really photogenic enough to wast time on. Several are also in locations you simply can't get to, such as on Islands or privately owned property not accessible to the public.
Beginning the trip at San Francisco, the first lighthouse you'll want to visit is the Pigeon Point Lighthouse which is about 30 miles South of San Francisco along the coast on Highway 1. You'll end up back-tracking but this lighthouse is a must see and one of the most photographic on the entire Pacific Coast, so I've included it in this article.
You'll find multiple good angles to photograph this lighthouse and you can get very close to it. There is also a hostel at this lighthouse, so if you are so inclined it is possible to spend the night here. For a sunrise shot, you'll find a great view looking west directly from the road leading in and on the actual grounds of the lighthouse. For sunset photography, there is a wonderful south-easterly coastal view from the North, less than a half mile or so away that shows the rocky shore along with the lighthouse.
Our next stop was about 50 miles North of San Francisco at the Point Reyes Lighthouse. A very scenic location, we found a lot of wildflowers blooming in late April along the walk to the lighthouse. You'll have to park about a half mile from the lighthouse and walk the rest of the way, and I'll caution you now, that final bit is along a very steep walkway that is the equivalent of walking up and down a 30 story flight of stairs. If you're health and heart are weak, you may not want to attempt this trek. If you do make the walk, you'll find the journey to be worth hit. A beautifully preserved lighthouse with a gift shot and spectacular view of the Pacific from the tip of Point Reyes is there for the taking. Photographically, you will be limited with the angles. I recommend you get there early in the day for sunlight behind your back with a westward view or perhaps late in the day shooting into the sunset. You won't find any accessible views up or down the shore line.
Another 100 miles or so north along the coast and you'll find the Point Arena Lighthouse. One of the most photogenic along the California coast, you have views available from just about every angle along the immediate shoreline, from the North , East and South. The compound is fenced in so if you arrive after hours, you won't be able to get inside and near the structure. We spent the night in the Lighthouse Keepers Apartment, which was a little pricey but give a a ground zero look at the lighthouse at both sunset and sunrise. The gate was closed when we arrived at 5:30 PM and it opened at 10 AM the next morning. You can still get pretty close to it even if the gate isn't unlocked.
Our next stop north along the coast was Crescent City, California to photograph the Battery Point Lighthouse. This particular lighthouse was one of my favorites. It sits on a stoney island that can be walked to at low tide. There is also a jetty that runs into the harbor to the East, with an accessible parking area just a few hundred feet away. Sunrise photographs from that jetty can be made with ease as the lighthouse has a curious orientation that allows for well let sunrise and sunset photographs. You can also get great afternoon shots from town to the North by hitting the back streets of Crescent City to the immediate North. You'll want to plan a couple of days here if possible, there are just too many angles and photographic opportunities to explore. I heard that this is the most expensive lighthouse on the Pacific coast to operate.
It's worth noting that Crescent City is also a great place to explore the Redwood Parks of Northern California. We spent the better part of a day doing just that while here, so take a little extra time and see the tallest and some of the oldest trees in the world while you are in the area.
From Crescent City, it's an easy drive to the Oregon coast and the first lighthouse you'll come is at Cape Blanco. In a very accessible location, you'll have to walk a quarter of a mile from the parking lot to the actual lighthouse. The lighthouse is staffed by volunteers and you'll find a nice gift shop and some friendly people. You'll also be able to take a tour of the inside of the lighthouse as well. The Cape Blanco Lighthouse is a must see on the Southern Oregon coast.
Travel North from the Cape Blanco Lighthouse for another 25 miles along highway 101 and you'll come to the town of Bandon, Oregon. In the town of Bandon, you'll find the Coquille River Lighthouse. Situated on the North shoreline near the mouth of the river, this lighthouse is no longer used, however, the building is still there and it is in a very photographable location. During our visit, the blooming Spring Gorse bushes were covering the area around the lighthouse with a beautiful yellow blanket. The town of Bandon was one of our favorite stops and we spent two nights in this location exploring the area and photographing the abandoned lighthouse on the river.
To get to the lighthouse , you'll want to drive North out of town on highway 101, crossing the river and enter Bullard's Beach State Park at Park Road (on the left.) The lighthouse will be about 3 miles away at the end of the park road. There's a parking area and a beautiful view just waiting to be explored either at sunrise or sunset.
Another 15 miles North of Bandon, Oregon you'll find the Cape Arago Lighthouse. Situated on Chiefs Island, access is difficult; however, there are many views available from the North shore of Cape Arago beach and from the South along the cliffs near Sunset Bay. Our stop here was brief and we made a quick walk to a rocky point overlooking Sunset Bay.
Our next stop, some 25 miles to the North was the Umpqua River Lighthouse. Very easy to find and get close to, this lighthouse is situated in a Costal History Museum on a historic Coast Guard compound. Situated on a bluff, the best photographs are found either from the parking area directly in front of the lighthouse or if one is more adventurous, from the road running through the sand dunes below the bluff about a quarter of a mile directly West. A wide angle lens will be necessary if you are in the parking lot as you'll be right up on it.
Thirty-five more miles North of the Umpqua River Lighthouse, you'll find yourself mid-point along the Oregon Coast and you'll also find what is considered to be the most popular and photographed lighthouse in Oregon. The Heceta Head Lighthouse. During our visit in late April of 2013, Heceta Head lighthouse was still under renovation and scheduled to be ready for public access in June of 2013. Driving North along Highway 101, you'll notice the lighthouse on the cliffs in the distance across Devil's Elbow Beach near Sea Lion Cave. There are a couple of pull-offs along the road where you can photograph this lighthouse from the road, but you'll want to pull into the beach parking lot and walk the quarter mile up to the lighthouse and get more photographs. There is a great shot of the lighthouse from the trail on hill behind the lighthouse as well.
Another thirty-five miles North on Hwy 101 and you'll arrive in the City of Newport, OR. Newport is a lighthouse paradise, with two different lighthouses located within a few miles of one another. On the North side of Yaquina Bay, the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse was built shortly after the city of Newport was founded. Today it's a museum and open for tours. With easy access and parking, you'll want to take a good look at this historic building.
On the North end of the city of Newport, you'll find the Yaquina Head Lighthouse. Originally called the Cape Foulweather Lighthouse, this may be the most photographic lighthouse on the Oregon coast. It is maintained by the US Parks service and open to the public. You can visit the grounds during daylight hours. Below the lighthouse to the South is a cobblestone beach that offers a fantastic view of the lighthouse looking north from the beach at low tide. There are also photographical points in residential areas along the shore to the immediate North. We spent two days in Newport photographing this lighthouse.
Highway 101 will take you away from the coast as you travel north from Newport towards Tillamook, Oregon. About 7 miles to the North-west of Tillamook is the Cape Meares Lighthouse. Situated on a cliff overlooking the ocean 200 feet below, the Cape Meares Lighthouse is easily accessed by walking a quarter of mile of scenic paved pathway from a public parking area. You'll also find a lot of bird activity combined with scenic views to the South along the Oregon Coast.
As you continue north another 35 miles along the Oregon coast from Tillamook and Cape Meares, you'll arrive in the coastal town of Cannon Beach and just north of Cannon Beach is the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse. This lighthouse sits on an island that is about 1/25 miles off shore. On clear days, it can be viewed from shore in Ecola State Park. During our trip, it was not viewable, therefore I have no photographs for this article. I'm unaware of any excursion trips by boat to the Island, so you'll probably be lucky to see it from shore. It's worth a pass-by, win-lose or draw.
At the Southwestern point of Washington State, you'll find two lighthouses situated on the northern mouth of the Columbia River in the Cape Disappointment State Park. You'll have to pay a fee to access the park, but it is not much and worth the cost to see the two lighthouses within the park boundaries. The Cape Disappointment Lighthouse is quite famous and photogenic. It's about a .5 mile walk up the hill to get to it from the parking area and it is also viewable from the area along the beach and shore directly to the West. Getting a photo of this lighthouse in good light is going to be tricky though. Late day shots are preferable due to the viewing angles.
The second lighthouse in Cape Disappointment State Park is the North Head lighthouse. This lighthouse is viewable from the beach west of the campgrounds and also accessible on foot from a parking area about 1/4 of a mile to the East.
Washington has a number of lighthouses, however, most of them are not situated on the Pacific Coast. From Cape Disappointment, you'll have to journey another 65 miles to the North around Wilapa Bay to see the Gray's Harbor Lighthouse, in the town of Westport. The Gray's Harbor Lighthouse is open to the public, but you won't find a wide variety of photographic views, as it is situated away from the shore in a wooded area. The is a perfectly good view of it from the South from the road though, which is where the below shot was taken.
From the Gray's Harbor Lighthouse, we had to make a decision. Do we explore further north along the coast, heading into the Western Olympic peninsula or should we move inland towards Olympia, WA and work from that direction along the interior routes. The number off coastal lighthouse being limited and the distance between them makes for extended road time that we didn't have, so we elected to move inland to Olympia and explore the best options from that area. Here is a list of additional coastal lighthouses we did not explore but you may want to factor into your visit to the Washington Coast.
Destruction Island Lighthouse. Four miles offshore on Destruction Island, it is due west of Olympic National Park. From the looks of it, getting photos of this lighthouse would be a project to itself.
Caper Flattery Lighthouse. Located on Tatoosh Island at the Northwestern tip of Cape Flattery where the Pacific Ocean meets the mouth of the Salish Sea. This is a fairly remote area and you aren't going to swing by and get quick shots here. Again, I'd plan on a single trip just to do this location justice and for us, that just wasn't practical so we avoided driving to this area for photography.
Working from Olympia, we found it much easier to make a run North along highway 16 through Bremerton and along the shore route to the Point Wilson Lighthouse north of the town of Port Townsend on the Northeast shore of the Olympic peninsula.
The Point Wilson Lighthouse was for me, one of the most enjoyable to photograph during our trip. There are excellent angles at just about any time of day and it can be viewed both at a distance and up close. You'll need a daily parks pass to get to it, but it's inexpensive and worth the price. You can pick that pass up in Fort Worden State Park which you'll pass through to get to the lighthouse. Fort Worden is an old US Army coastal artillery base and also a worthwhile visit so plan some extra time and take in the old Army museum and meet the nice folks working there.
As for equipment, I'd keep it simple to keep the weight down while traveling. I had two Camera Bodies with me on our trip. A Canon 1Ds MKII, full frame sensor body and a Canon 7D, crop sensor body. My lens kit was simple as well. I had a EF 16-35mm f/2,8L, EF 24-105mm L, EF 70-200 mm f/2.8 L and the EF 100-400mm L for potential wildlife shots. Most of my shots were taken with either the 16-35mm or the 24-105mm. I used a carbon fiber travel tripod for the low light and longer exposures. I had a remote shutter release and battery chargers. I also brought along a few graduated neutral density filters for those bright sky low light shots.
When taking on a road trip of this magnitude, you'll have to prepare yourself for the fact that you simply aren't going to get dramatic scenes of every lighthouse. Most of the best shots of lighthouses I've seen are taken in extreme conditions during transitional weather conditions at early morning or late afternoon, and sometimes at night. For most of our trip, the weather was a blessing and a curse. We had clear blue sunny skys for virtually the entire trip, which is actually rare for this part of the country. This made for easy and enjoyable traveling but the dramatic effect of weather on photographs was not to be found for the most part. The fact is on a trip such as mine, you'll be lucky to get a handful of rally good shots. But you'll get a life-time of memories and possibly ideas for future trips. Each of these lighthouses and many of the ones I haven't mentioned can be projects to themselves. Hopefully, I've given you enough information to get you started and help you understand what you'll be dealing with at the most accessible and photogenic of the Pacific Northwest.
I highly recommend you visit the Pacific Northwest of the United States at some point in your life. There is much more to see and do than just exploring the lighthouses along the coast.
Happy travels.

Since you didn't say, let me guess, it's a 4 shot replica of a Sharps 4 barrel derringer, right? made during the late 50s untill 1968. EIG used several Italian firms plus even the Japanise made a copy. Brass frame, more than likely 22 short, however they may have made them in 22LR. No collectors value, to be honest not even a good self defence gun, it's not very accurate. Value, don't know, I've seen them at gun shows in very good shape for 50$. Hope that helps.
July 8, 2006, 03:22 AM
EIG made a 4 shot pistol that resembles an old MOSSBERG BROWNIE 4 shot pistol. Sort of looks like an auto-loader, but has 4 holes at the front of the barrel. It breaks open like a shotgun to load. You might find either the EIG or a MOSSBERG BROWNIE on of the large gun auctions on line.

Thanks Bearman, I had forgotten about the Brownie copy. So many guns, not enought time.
July 8, 2006, 08:28 PM
I just reread the first post and some info can be acquired by doing a ( www.dogpile.com ) search of "EIG 4 SHOT PISTOLS" and also going to www.derringer.de/index2.htm ( look under "saturday night specials") the last site is DANISH but has photos of EIG derringers and others. There is not a lot of info and it is mostly that the EIG pistols were low quality and are not worth more than $100 if that, depending on condition and item.

Let's CHAT! What do you think should be done to/with pedophiles?
I saw this in The Stir - What are your thoughts?
'Pedophilia Is Not a Crime' -- The Man Who Says So Might Surprise You
by Jeanne Sager
Of all the dumb things I've heard public figures say, this one shoots right to the top of the disgusting meter. A Roman Catholic cardinal, one of the guys who actually helped vote Pope Francis into power last week, came out on the radio to announce that pedophilia is not a crime.
While you pull your jaw up off the floor, allow me to explain. Cardinal Wilfrid Fox Napier says when someone molests a poor, innocent child, it's really just an illness. And of course, you can't prosecute someone for being sick, can you? Can you?
Oh, folks, you most certainly can.
We prosecute alcoholics for getting into their cars totally blitzed and killing people all the time. We send them to jail, where, yes, they can get rehabilitated for their alcoholism, but we sure as heck send them to jail.
Because disorders and criminality are not mutually exclusive. If they were, the criminal justice system would be hamstrung by an inability to prosecute a vast quantity of criminals.
Even the "insanity" defense in American courts that may guarantee a "not guilty" verdict often allows for the judge to make provisions for the defendant to be removed from the general population, sending them to a psychiatric facility, for example. It's a chance to treat the disorder, true, but also a means to protect the general population from a criminal.
But the way Cardinal Napier tells it, that's just not fair. Speaking of two pedophile priests who were abused themselves as kids, Napier said:
Now don't tell me that those people are criminally responsible like somebody who chooses to do something like that. I don't think you can really take the position and say that person deserves to be punished. He was himself damaged.
Damaged? Sure. Sympathetic? Not after they make the conscious decision to hurt another human being, and a defenseless child at that. I'd like to think that a man of the cloth would see the rights of a child here.
It may be an illness that causes pedophiles to prey on children, but the moment they let that illness take control, they commit a crime.
At that point, both have to be dealt with: the "disorder" and the crime. And yes, that means punishment.
What do you think should be done with pedophiles?
Quoting paganbaby:
Castration and a small island far, far away.
I dont think there curable so yeah i think you have to castrate them or lock them up for good. . There are SO many studys the ones that go after little kids dont stop they just get worse.
There is a special place in Hell for Cardinal Napier as well.
M dad beat the piss out of us, none of my sibs hurt our children.
I was raped at 16, have never repeated the crime.
To minimize the hurt they cause by saying "it was don't to them first" shows a lack of empathy, compassion and insight.
lock them up. forever.
Quoting BaBeezandMe:
This is the last thing all pedophiles should see....
I think there is something wrong with this man...I read this article the other day and I am disgusted that a grown educated man can even utter these words. I don't care who the person is,,,we are all taught what the laws are through out our life,and everyone knows that it's both morally wrong and illegal to molest and harm children.These people are sick but not like Cardinal Napier implies.Just as we have all been taught right from wrong..we have been taught that if you are sick ,you get help..None of these people who are predators ever try to get help until they are caught,then they claim sickness,yet they know to get help for a cold or cancer or a broken bone.They enjoy what they do,and that is why they do it.I think there should be a national/worldwide death penalty for people who are proven guilty of this crime. I have 7 kids and two of them have been molested in the past when they were small children.I know what they go through and when someone purposely hurts a child and damages their mind and self in this way...they should never ever get to breath the air again.
I am a Christian and I beleive in forgiveness, but I also beleive in consequences.The victim,(If old enough) or the victim's next of kin should have the legal ability to cause an equal degree of humiliation pain and anguish back on the perp. in an environment with witnesses.

DistributionRead full entry
Range DescriptionEndemic to the United States. Known from 54 counties in eight states. There are at least 20 occurrences in Rhode Island (Carpenter pers. comm. 2000); two to three sites in Connecticut (L. Ruth pers. comm. 2001); and based on 1999 surveys there are predicted to be 30 to 50 occurrences in Wisconsin alone (Vogt pers. comm. 2000). Ward and de Maynadier (2005) list eight populations in 13 sites in Maine. Vogt (1999) recommends continued inventory the Glacial Lake Wisconsin region, as well as other areas with suitable habitat in Wisconsin. An inventory is needed in eastern Connecticut and Bristol County Massachusetts. There are several unsurveyed sites in southeastern New Hampshire as well as Atlantic white cedar swamps. In New York the Hudson Highlands and Albany pine bush should be searched (these are close to recent New Jersey record). Further early-season searches are also required.

- Rare disease designations
Orphan designation
On 21 October 2004, orphan designation (EU/3/04/229) was granted by the European Commission to BioAlliance Pharma, France, for doxorubicin polyisohexylcyanoacrylate nanoparticles for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.
In October 2014, BioAlliance Pharma changed name to Onxeo.
For a list of the administrative updates to this public summary of opinion please refer to the PDF document below.
- What is hepatocellular carcinoma?
Tumours that begin in the liver are known as liver tumours. Liver tumours that have the potential to infiltrate healthy tissues are called hepatocellular carcinomas. The most common factors known to be associated with this disease are the viral infections causing liver inflammations (the so-called hepatitis B and hepatitis C) and an alcohol-induced liver disease (the so-called liver cirrhosis). Hepatocellular carcinoma is a life-threatening condition.
- What is the estimated number of patients affected by the condition?
At the time of designation, hepatocellular carcinoma affected approximately 1 in 10,000 people in the European Union (EU). This was equivalent to a total of around 46,000 people*, and is below the ceiling for orphan designation, which is 5 people in 10,000. This isbased on the information provided by the sponsor and the knowledge of the Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP).
*Disclaimer: For the purpose of the designation, the number of patients affected by the condition is estimated and assessed on the basis of data from the European Union (EU 25), Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. At the time of designation, this represented a population of 464,200,000 (Eurostat 2004).
- What treatments are available?
No medicinal products for the treatment of the condition had been authorised in the European Union at the time of submission of the application for orphan drug designation.
- How is this medicine expected to work?
Doxorubicin is a drug to treat tumours. Doxorubicin interferes with the production of genetic material and can kill rapidly dividing cells such as tumour cells. In the designated product, doxorubicin is entrapped in nanoparticles of polyisohexylcyanoacrylate. Once administered to the patient, the nanoparticles are adsorbed to the surface of tumour cells and doxorubicin entrapped in these particles is subsequently released on the cancer cell. The nanoparticles degrade and release also polyisohexylcyanoacrylate, which may contribute to delivering doxorubicin into the cancer cells. This may increase the presence of the drug in the tumour cells and may enhance its activity.
- What is the stage of development of this medicine?
The effects of doxorubicin polyisohexylcyanoacrylate nanoparticles were evaluated in experimental models.
At the time of submission of the application for orphan designation, clinical trials in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were ongoing.
Doxorubicin polyisohexylcyanoacrylate nanoparticles was not marketed anywhere worldwide for hepatocellular carcinoma or designated as orphan medicinal product elsewhere for this condition, at the time of submission.
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 141/2000 of 16 December 1999, the COMP adopted a positive opinion on 9 September 2004 recommending the granting of this designation.
- Opinions on orphan medicinal product designations are based on the following three criteria:
- the seriousness of the condition;
- the existence of alternative methods of diagnosis, prevention or treatment;
- either the rarity of the condition (affecting not more than 5 in 10,000 people in the Community) or insufficient returns on investment.
Designated orphan medicinal products are products that are still under investigation and are considered for orphan designation on the basis of potential activity. An orphan designation is not a marketing authorisation. As a consequence, demonstration of quality, safety and efficacy is necessary before a product can be granted a marketing authorisation.

bastards, refuse to pay them, and slap them in disgust Just like TRS, they wouldnt sell you a wii unless you bought a game with it.
Right, i thought all consoles came with wii sports but in Game the store there charging you extra if you want wii sports how gay is this.....
bastards, refuse to pay them, and slap them in disgust Just like TRS, they wouldnt sell you a wii unless you bought a game with it.
Game charge for Wii Sports ? They didnt for me it comes in the box
it pissed me off because i went in on wednesday and they were charging £209 for the wii+sports + a Game but now there charging that for just Wii + sports.
Thats not right! Dirty bastards they are! Tell them to throw in an extra wiimote for the extra charge.
Click on the mushroom you know you want to,GO AHEAD,DO IT!!!!!
I dont really believe that. I go to game all the time and they did sell a pack for 209 pounds with Wii and a Game. Honestly go phone your local game and ask a price and thats what they will offer you. Im sure either you heard wrong or the Game Worker said wrong=
Wii sports should be included inside the Wii's box itself. Unless they actually removed the game disc which would require them to physically open the box and thus (from what I know) make the Wii an opened product and thus unsellable. That is the only way it could be separate.
i agree because i bought my wii online from there and it didnt say if it included wii sports or not but when it arrived it said it had wii sportsOriginally Posted by ajnokia
besides i now the directer of nintendo and they said they have not realised the wii without sports inside
well my friends uncle brotheer doseOriginally Posted by rishi 20

Orangutans are a great ape native to Indonesia and Malaysia. The name "orangutan" when translated into English means "man of the forest" and comes from the Malay and Bahasa Indonesian orang (man) and hutan (forest). There are two types of orangutans: the slightly smaller and darker Bornean orangutans and their Sumatran counterparts. The orangutan is the only non-human great ape left in Asia, but their chances of survival are slowly sinking due to human activities such as deforestation, illegal logging and the illegal pet trade.
The exact population of orangutans left in the wild is unknown, but the numbers are definitely dropping at a rapid rate. The most recent estimates suggest that the number of Sumantran orangutans dropped to 6.500 while less than 35,000 orangutans remain in Borneo.
The orangutans are considered to be endangered for three main reasons: illegal logging, the illegal pet trade and deforestation for palm oil plantations. Palm oil plantations are one of the leading causes of rainforest destruction, thousands of acres of rainforest land have been cleared in order to plant massive plantations to produce palm oil. The harvested palm oil is then used in a variety of products including baked good, candy bars, cookies and cosmetics.
The orangutans' habitat, the rainforest, is disappearing at alarming rates. Indonesia was named in the 2008 Guinness Book of World Records as the country with the fastest rate of deforestation. Indonesia is also the world's 3rd largest emitter of carbond dioxide, behind only China and the United States, primary due to the deforestation of rainforest land. Orangutans will become extinct due to human activities unless we take action to ensure that this incredible great ape is protected.

The Brief: Texas Political News for Nov. 21, 2013
The Big Conversation
Houston Mayor Annise Parker will move to extend health and life insurance benefits to same-sex legal spouses of city employees, despite a 2001 city charter amendment that was put to the voters specifically to prohibit the practice.
A legal fight is all but assured, with Parker's action possibly putting Texas' constitutional prohibition on gay marriage on a collision course with the U.S. Supreme Court's reversal over the summer of the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
Parker relied on an opinion from City Attorney David Feldman in deciding to move forward, reported the Houston Chronicle ...

Browns Owner Focused on Finding 'Right' Coach
CLEVELAND (AP) ? Amid mounting criticism of Cleveland's coaching search, Browns owner Jimmy Haslam says in a letter to fans he's "committed to finding the right leader for our team."
The Browns are looking for their seventh coach since 1999. They fired Rob Chudzinski last month after he went 4-12 in his first season.
Haslam says in a letter released Wednesday the team has been "purposefully" methodical in its approach. He adds that the team must stay "disciplined" and interview all its candidates.
Cleveland has interviewed six known candidates and intends to meet with Denver offensive coordinator Adam Gase when the Broncos' season ends.
The Browns and Minnesota Vikings are the only teams still without a coach.

U.N. Narcotics Control Board head Raymond Yans says the approvals send "a wrong message to the rest of the nation and abroad." At the same time, a group of retired cops, judges and prosecutors is asking U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to support the new laws making it legal for adults 21 and over to possess small amounts of marijuana.

The spatial focus of attention has traditionally been envisioned as a simple spatial gradient of enhanced activity, monotonically falling off with increasing distance. Using magnetoencephalographic recordings in humans, the studies reported here demonstrate that the focus of attention is not a simple monotonic gradient but contains an excitatory peak surrounded by a narrow inhibitory region. A visual search paradigm was used throughout all reported experiments which required subjects to focus attention onto a color pop-out target among eight distractor items arranged as a quarter-circular search array in the lower right visual field. The target position randomly varied relative to the position of a task-irrelevant probe-stimulus whose electromagnetic field response was analyzed. This response was enhanced when the probe appeared at the target's location, was suppressed in a narrow zone surrounding it, and recovered at more distant locations, thus, giving rise to an activity pattern that resembles the shape of a Mexican hat. Withdrawing attention from the pop-out target by engaging observers in a demanding foveal task eliminated the Mexican hat profile, which confirms a truly attention-driven effect. The profile turned out to be very similar across different target-defining features, different levels of task-difficulty, and did not depend on whether distracters were present or not. This is taken to suggest that the Mexican hat profile represents a more elementary routine-like attentional operation, that is less dependent on direct volitional aspects of attentional focusing. Source localization results revealed that the enhancement in the center of the attentional focus and the surrounding inhibition are generated within early-to-intermediate visual cortex. With a peak maximum around 250 ms, the Mexican hat profile evolved comparably late after search frame onset, consistent with feedback processing as underlying activity, and roughly in line with psychophysical estimates of the time it takes to focus attention. Finally it should be noted, that the methodological approach followed in the present thesis rules out a number of important confounds that hampered previous research. It thus provides the first convincing functional neuroimaging evidence for such a profile in humans.

Sunoco's good corporate name is taking a beating these days, as community activists and bloggers post snarky statements under headlines like "Sleazy Sunoco," linking the company to fracking and eminent domain.
The trouble for Sunoco Inc., the Philadelphia company with nearly 4,900 retail fuel stations and convenience stores in 23 states, is that it has nothing to do with the cross-state pipeline project that has attracted fierce local opposition and has become embroiled in a contentious matter before the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission.
The project, called Mariner East, will carry natural gas liquids such as propane across Pennsylvania from the Marcellus Shale region. It's the work of Sunoco's corporate offspring, Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P.

Girl Grants
Because every girl's experience is customized for each girl's interest, there is not a standard cost to participate in Girl Scouts. Every girl can decide to go to camp or to participate in the myriad of council wide programs. Her cost will reflect those individualized choices and will be different than the other girls in her group or troop based on her choices.
The product sales program, in which more than 3 million girls learn entrepreneurial skills, is one of the ways that girls fund and achieve their customized goals. GSNENY supports the girls' efforts through two council wide programs: QSP Be a Reader in the fall and Cookies in the winter. Every girl can participate in the programs regardless of the participation of her troop. For more information, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
If a girl still cannot afford the annual membership fee, uniforms, materials, or GSNENY program fees, then they may apply for Girl Grant support.
Please click here for the resources section to download our forms.
A committee of dedicated volunteers meets regularly and anonymously to review the requests for funds over $50. They weigh multiple factors like the family's need for additional funding, the cost of the program, other extenuating financial commitments, as well as why the girl wants to attend the program and what she is hoping to get from it, but the primary factor in the decision is the family's need. Some funds are drawn down on a first come, first served basis, so it is always in the girls' best interest to submit the application as soon as possible with your program registration form.
