Nordic carved armor -- skyrim by fevereonWatch
©2013-2016 fevereon
Over the late summer/fall. I had taken on the Nordic carved armor as a personal costuming project! Because it has a BEARHAT RAWRRRRR
this is a 100% scratchbuild, and I pretty much threw everything in the shop at this project
-- hat & pauldrons- pep base for general shape, then carved and resculpted using sculpey, molded & cast in resin
-- chestplate- pep, sculpted and recarved, then resin coated
-- shoulder plates, skirting- leather (various weights) & faux fur
-- abdominal plates- sintra, eva foam coated with worbla
-- gauntlets & boots/shinguards- sintra & eva foam coated with smoothcast resin, (and faux fur)
-- arming coat & pants - interfaced linen & sewing. maaan I don't like sewing
This photo was taken during a group cosplay photoshoot at Life University, perfect weather
Lots of project WIP photos on my fb page : www.facebook.com/fevstudios
Currently working on the Nordic Carved Shield to go with the set
Melissa M. took this photo during the shoot! For other photos from the shoot (featuring many others who attended as well) check out her Momocon photo gallery
AWESOME! The Nordic carved armor design is my favorite design
OMG, you are my hero This is amazing! Great job!!
I long for the day when someone makes a set of this with actual Steel..
This is impressive. Not to say your other work isn't, but this one is outstanding. Well done.
My favorite armor in the game. Even though I usually played a light armor class I always loved the look of it. Great job btw.
Oh dude nice Nordic armor! You are so lucky to have that made. Wish I had that armor to wear at the medieval fairs. Glad to know that there's more people out there who also likes the Nordic armor.
Whoo trust me man, there was no luck involved... it was a lot of research, experimentation and work to make it!
But totally, theres a HUGE base of people who love the design too, but just not many NC armor costumes out there. that costume is EVILLLLLL

Justice for all crime victims, not just symbolism for a few.
California Crime Victims for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (CCV) released a new report earlier this month on unsolved homicides in California. While we waste hundreds of millions of dollars on sentencing a handful of killers to death, 1,000 murders go unsolved each year. Read the report: The Silent Crisis in California: Unsolved Murders.
Murder victim family members Judy Kerr, Aqeela Sherrills, and Nick and Amanda Wilcox delivered the report and a letter signed by 150 CCV supporters to the Governor and asked him to convert all 700 death sentences to permanent imprisonment. Read more on the California Progress Report.

- Description
The performance of the Astro-Tech 106mm FPL-53 ED (Extra-low Dispersion glass) triplet apochromatic refractor is outstanding. A nearly four-page review of the AT106 in the September 2009 Sky & Telescope concluded simply "the Astro-Tech AT106 provides all the benefits of a first-class 4-inch apo but without the premium price. I highly recommend it."
Astro-Tech AT106 106mm f/6.5 FPL-53 ED Triplet Apochromatic Refractor Telescope
All of the lenses in the fully-multicoated air-spaced triplet optics of the AT106 are fabricated from Ohara glass (Ohara is Japan's premier manufacturer of specialized optical glass), including the first-quality FPL-53 center element. The result of using the best possible glass is the finest possible control of spurious color. The AT106 images are free of all vestiges of the annoying faint color halos around bright objects visible in lesser scopes – despite the Astro-Tech's fast focal ratio, and even at very high magnifications. The lens is fully collimatable in the field for peak performance.
The Sky & Telescope review said that the AT106 "had absolutely first-class color correction. There was no visible chromatic aberration, even on the brightest targets. When defocused, star images presented nary a trace of false color. Unlike some apos that provide minimal color only when precisely in focus, images in the AT106 were not subjected to flickering false-color halos as poor seeing caused images to sharpen and defocus . . . tight double stars were cleanly resolved and planets exhibited excellent detail – in all cases, images snapped into clean focus."
Those optics – "first-class" according to Sky & Telescope – come in a finely-machined body with a newly-designed dual speed 2.7" Crayford focuser that has a microfine 10:1 fine-focusing ratio. The focuser can rotate a full 360° to put your camera or eyepiece in the most comfortable observing position. The supplied 2" and 1.25" accessory holders use non-marring brass compression rings that won't scratch your eyepiece barrels. The 2" accessory holder can itself rotate 360°, independent of the focuser, so you can make a final tweak of the photographic composition or diagonal viewing angle without having to adjust the focuser itself a second time. The white and gun metal grey Astro-Tech AT106 has a retractable lens shade and comes in a locking aluminum-frame carrying case.
If you want all the benefits of a first-class 4-inch apochromatic refractor, but without the premium price, choose the telescope that Sky & Telescope can "highly recommend" – the Astro-Tech AT106.

Here's an exceptional underrated 94 banger from a small label called Quality Control. This EP is the first of just a couple releases on that label, and it's definitely a strong start. On the A side (featured here) we get a deep-n-dark think & cold sweat breakbeat flex-out, drenched in delay with ominous synths and vocal snippets peppererd throughout… a bit reminiscent of DJ Buz "Slave" to my ears, mostly in terms of the sound palette, also because it nails the darker-side-of-jungle sounds at the time. The surface similarity to "slave" is no surprise given the fact that Nico from No U Turn produced and engineered this, and wrote the flip side himself under the alias NKC. Given how cheap this record is, if you like your 94 darkside then this is pretty much a must-buy in my view… check it yourself and see if you agree!

MENDHAM — Mendham Borough and Chester Borough will merge their court rooms starting in 2014, Mendham-Chester Patch reported.
The cost will initially be split 60 percent Chester Borough and 40 percent Mendham Borough based on a review of summons and complaints issued by each town over the past three years, the website said.
Mendham Township committee members have expressed disappointment with the borough's decision to discontinue their shared court room, and with the lack of communication between the neighboring towns, Observer-Tribune News reported.
The Mendhams have shared a municipal court for the past 37 years, according to the newspaper.

I know Rugers are great guns, but I like the looks of a S&W much better. I've shot a S&W 28 and love it... and the 27 is the same thing but prettier.
July 9, 2010, 01:49 PM
Both are good guns and will get the job done. However, the GP100 is still being made so if you lost the gun to the police for some reason it is easily replaced and is not too expensive. On the other hand the S&W 27 P&Rs are not being made any more, are highly desirable, not easily replaced and would be expensive to buy if you could find a good one. So if you lost it it would be very sad. Not so sad if you lost the GP100.
July 9, 2010, 01:50 PM
i can't really vote on this. between a current production smith and a ruger, i would choose a ruger. mainly because i just like it overall better. but the older smiths are really cool. hammer mounted pins, deep blueing, they're just plain cool. and the 27 was the smith's cadillac .357 mag.
if you plan on using this as a range/nuclear reloads/knock around the woods gun-ruger
if you want a nice, unique, well made example of one of smith's finest (imho)- smith
either will do. the 27 just does it with more style, if that matters.
July 9, 2010, 01:52 PM
Ruger. Cheaper.
July 9, 2010, 02:26 PM
S&W, hands down. I love Ruger single actions but their double actions just don't do much for me. The S&W is a timeless classic. The Ruger is just a tool.
I can't imagine choosing a sixgun (or a woman for that matter) according to which is easiest to lose. That ain't livin'! :scrutiny:
July 9, 2010, 02:27 PM
I just personally prefer the GP100. I like heavy revolvers over light(er) ones.
July 9, 2010, 02:38 PM
I just personally prefer the GP100. I like heavy revolvers over light(er) ones.
They weigh about the same.
July 9, 2010, 02:41 PM
cant beat a smitty!
July 9, 2010, 02:42 PM
I just personally prefer the GP100. I like heavy revolvers over light(er) ones.
in the 40+ years i've been shooting, i've never heard any S&W N-frame referred to as lighter...especially not a M-27, which is the heaviest.
you have to remember that the M-27 is built on their large frame as opposed to the GP-100 which is built on a medium frame.
i would never occur to me that someone would even compare these two...the usual comparison is between the M-686 medium L-frame and the GP-100.
a Pinned (barrel) & Recessed (cartridge rims) M-27 is orders higher in quality of workmanship (this isn't a current production M-27 we're talking about) than the GP-100. it would be like comparing a VW Jetta to a Mercedes E-class
July 9, 2010, 02:44 PM
The GP-100 ranges from 36 to 45 ounces
The S&W ranges from 37.6 to 44
Hardly a way to justify it because of weight
July 9, 2010, 02:45 PM
I love my S&Ws!
That said, I'd pick a Ruger for durability.
But the S&W's trigger pull, both double and single action, is superior, in my experience.
You could resolve the problem the way I usually do and get both!
July 9, 2010, 02:50 PM
The Smith is far FAR nicer in terms of finish and feel and overall quality, but there is something off-putting to me about the big N-frames in 357. I love my Model 25s, but the traditional Model 27/28 just doesn't seem 'right' to me.
For this reason, I'd actually be tempted to take the GP100.
But had you made the comparison between the GP100 and P&R Model 19, the choice would have been lopsidedly in favor of the S&W.
July 9, 2010, 03:12 PM
..the usual comparison is between the M-686 medium L-frame and the GP-100.Yep, and I would go with a 586 or 686 over the Ruger.
I still have a 28 & a 27, but traded my GP-100. I miss it a little, and would pick one up if I found a great deal.
July 9, 2010, 03:50 PM
This one is easily decided by science: the big S&W is too big for my hands; I can't get enough finger on the trigger while holding it properly to control recoil. I do still have one S&W N-frame, for sentimental reasons. I own several GP100s.
July 9, 2010, 03:54 PM
The Smith hands down, I did not even have to think about it. Why, the model 27 is the finest production revolver EVER produced.:D
I just personally prefer the GP100. I like heavy revolvers over light(er) ones.
I dont what you consider heavy but at 2 pounds 14 ounces my 6 M-27 is not light.
Steve C
July 9, 2010, 03:57 PM
The S&W 27 is IMO the nicest pistol that S&W made. The blue and polish was better than the standard grade. They fine checkered the top of the fame and rib to reduce glare rather than the flat finish surface used in the lessor models and by most other companies. My 3-1/2" has excellent balance. Just fine machined steel quality from an earlier era.
Some like to say how Rugers are somehow stronger than other guns. They certainly look that way with thicker frames but they use cast frames and the extra thickness is needed to insure the same strength as a frame that's been machined from bar stock. I've seen several Rugers that where KB'd up by yahoo's that thought they could withstand their "special" hand loads.
July 9, 2010, 04:19 PM
I'd rather have a King Cobra! :D
July 9, 2010, 04:32 PM
if money is no object there is no comparison
The Smith is the superior gun in so many ways.
If money is a consideration the Ruger is a lot of gun for the money.
Think of the Smith as a Lexus and the Ruger as a Camry.
July 9, 2010, 04:35 PM
I like robustness and durability. The trigger can be spiffed up real nice, and it will probably still cost less than the smith after the trigger job.
I also hate the internal lock. Saw a blued GP100 with a 4 inch barrel the other day. It looked nice!
July 9, 2010, 04:40 PM
Bill Ruger sold us out with his own money that was earned from us when he actively supported and testified before Congress that none of us had any legitimate need for high capacity magazines.
No matter how good Ruger firearms are (and I freely admit that they are), I will never contribute any of my money to his family.
I know...Bill is dead.
I'm now looking forward to the death of Jane Fonda.
July 9, 2010, 05:05 PM
not trying to argue with you or to hi jack this thread. thats your opinion and i respect that. serious question. who is in charge of ruger nowadays? is bill ruger's family still running it? thanks.
sorry for getting off topic everybody, please continue.
July 9, 2010, 05:08 PM
I don't know about who is running it, but Bill's family is still drawing funds.
As I said, great firearms, but I can't stomach supporting a traitor or their family.
July 9, 2010, 06:08 PM
Ruger GP looks nice, but smith looks nicer, and with smoother, better feeling how could you not love the S&W
July 9, 2010, 08:30 PM
Bill Ruger sold us out.
S&W sold us out.
Water under the bridge.
I have the GP100 and am working on a deal to acquire the S&W. I was basically reassuring myself that the Smith was a good acquisition.
She's a purty blue, too. The Ruger is more industrial, I guess you might say, and doesn't have the lines of the Smith. I'm looking forward to having both in the stable.
July 9, 2010, 08:31 PM
I would have to pick the S&W Model 27. Love the big N frames in any caliber, and I had a GP-100 years ago. Never did take a liking to it; probably because I thought the Security Six was fine just the way it was.
July 9, 2010, 08:44 PM
I have or had a GP100, 686 and a Smith M28-2. I like all three. The 27/28 N frame are the classic 357 revolver. They are pleasant to shoot and are one of the best looking revolvers of all time. The GP100 and 686 are competition to each other. Both came out when the revolver was transitioning to the "modern mass produce revolver" and was replaced by law enforcement with the semi-auto. I would pick the GP100 first because its the best value in a everyday 357. Now if I want to pay more then I would get a 27-2 5 inch. A excellent revolver for shooting 357s. But you will pay a lot more for a 27 than a GP100. And the 586/686 is getting to the point where its just as expense as a 27/28. I would rather have a 27/28 than the 686 it the two revolvers were the same price in a gun store.
July 9, 2010, 10:29 PM
Although the Colt Python gets all the press. I really believe the S&W model 27 is the finest 357 magnum ever made.
I sold mine because a K frame 357 in SS is easier to carry and maintain and if I want to carry an N frame I'll carry a 44. But neither of these reasons take away from the fact that the model 27 is probably the finest 357 made, especially in the 3 1/2 inch version.
Their only problem, if they have one, is they are too valuable and hard to come by to be trashed by everyday carry and use.
July 9, 2010, 10:38 PM
I tend to like Smith and Wesson triggers. Still, either revolver will do just fine. Maybe your great-grandchildren will wear out the one you choose.
July 9, 2010, 11:01 PM
Although the Colt Python gets all the press. I really believe the S&W model 27 is the finest 357 magnum ever made.
I love a Python but there are arguments for a 27. It is a fine weapon.
captain awesome
July 9, 2010, 11:19 PM
well tough call, two extremely durable guns, I would venture a guess that while the ruger is definitely a durable gun, you would have just as hard a time if not harder breaking an N frame 357. Never shot a 27, would love to own one some day. My gp100 is extremely accurate It shocked me when I saw my grouping at 50 YARDS (standard stock sights) That gun and I seem to be made for each other. So its basically a coin toss, went with the smith just because they aren't made any more.
July 9, 2010, 11:24 PM
I'd go for the Ruger, I like the combo of inexpensive, plain, and rugged.
July 10, 2010, 12:38 AM
I picked the S&W 27. It is the direct decendant of the first Magnum revolver - the S&W .357 Registered Magnum. Can't get much more historic than that.
You did not mention pricing - so I will assume they are both reasonably priced. If you told me you could buy a 6" SS GP100 for $275 or a 6" 27-2 P&R for $900, I would take the Ruger.
July 10, 2010, 07:26 AM
The M27 is the finest .357 revolver ever made, the Python may be a hair prettier but the M27 well not shoot out of time in no time:eek:
Your comparing apples and oranges. The Ruger is a fine utility gun the Smith is a work of art. Compare the GP with a 586/686 that's closer. Smith still comes out on top.
July 10, 2010, 07:43 AM
Quoheleth -
S&W was forced to accept a compromise...they had no choice.
Bill Ruger volunteered and spent his own money supporting the anti-gun groups and went purposely to Congress to limit magazine capacity.
It is *not* the same thing, not even close. It is *not* "water under the bridge" because we are still dealing with the laws they made based in part on his actions.
I am saddened to see shooters who have no interest in the Second Amendment...or at least not enough to be aware of who the enemies are and have been. If we do not learn from experience, the same mistakes will be made again.
I suppose the next thing will be that someone will chime in and tell me that Hanoi Jane was selected as one of the top 100 women of the 20th century, eh?
July 10, 2010, 08:08 AM
Perhaps I am naive; perhaps I am a sucker. I am in the business of forgiveness. If I held every sin, real or imagined, into perpetuity my life would be rather miserable. I'm not always successful in "forgive & forget" - in fact, sometimes the most powerful prayer is "forgive my unforgiveness" - but I try.
Ruger screwed up. He's dead & gone. The company no longer follows his lead.
I am not defending the man - I do think he was wrong - but I think it could be argued that he was trying to save himself and his company by being politically expedient at the time of unfavorable and antigun officials.
Too, I concur that S&W was doing what they did for survival. Not really arguing with you on either point.
The early church wrestled with what to do with the Christians who "pretended" to be non-Christian in the face of perseution. When it ceased, some wanted to welcome these pretenders back into the flocks; others wanted nothing to do with them.
I understand the analogy is not perfect, but it illustrates my point: I understand why people still are upset at Wild Bill. Nevertheless the facts remain, he's gone and the Sturm, Ruger of today =/= the Sturm, Ruger that he ran.
So, I am in the forgiveness business. I'll trust but verify. To me, Sturm, Ruger has turned around. Smith is now making non-locking pistols...but still has locks on others. Which company has changed more?
OK...back to the conversation:
The Smith 27 is expensive, but I'm trying to work a trade for it with my stainless Springfield 1911. I have the Ruger. The Ruger shoots great; the S&W would be a trade to try to increase some of the value of my collection by adding a classic piece. It's been shot, so it's not a true collector. It's "collectable working stock," you might say. Definitely not mistreated by any means. I hope it'll work out as I have a thing, now, for N-frames.

I will post pics of my M27 when I get back from the range.
July 10, 2010, 08:54 AM
my brother kept after me until I let him have it. It is one of the finest revolvers ever made but I like my Pythons a little more and would not part with them. That said, I am sure we can find positive and negatives about each one based on our individual choice. As far as the GP 100 is concerned , it has a great following because of its inherent strength but it does not have the refine characteristics of the beautiful model 27.
July 10, 2010, 10:49 AM
Just personal preference. I like the aesthetics of the Model 27 and N-Frames in general, more than that of the GP100. My experience with Ruger revolvers has been very good, so I assume the GP100 is a fine gun. The Model 27 just has more personal appeal to me.
July 10, 2010, 11:32 AM
Hi again,
This comparison has been posted on forums before. And there is not a answer. The N frame 357 is a old school revolver. The 27/28 were made back when S&W cared more for quality. The current Smith revolvers in my opinion are no way as good as the older 27/28 revolvers. A better comparison would be the current L frame versus the GP100. Both of these revolvers started production when both Ruger and Smith and Wesson started caring more for pumping out guns and less on quality. Even the discontinued Ruger Security Six for me was better made than the GP100. Of the current generation 357 SA/DA revolvers I would pick the Ruger GP100. By far the better value than the overpriced 686. I would own again a 686 but only the early series. And the problem with that is the 686 has gone up to the same level of price as a good 27 or 28. Again, if I was at a gun store and saw a early 686 and a 27 for the same price. I will pick the 27 every time. Same goes for the 28.
Summary, if I am on a budget and want a reliable shooting 357 then the GP100 would be the best choice. But if money is not the issue, then of course I would pick the 27 or a 28.
July 10, 2010, 11:36 AM
GP 100 has a smaller frame that fits me better, so I'd go for the Ruger.
July 10, 2010, 12:18 PM
Money goes to anyone who owns stock in the Ruger corporation. As already said, this is water under the bridge; neither company is still being run by the same folks who made the poor decisions of the past.
Bill Ruger and/or his employees designed the GP100 that saved me and others I care about from serious injury or death one summer night.
July 10, 2010, 12:53 PM
I would pick the GP-100 with short underlug barrel as it is more compact, weighs a couple ounces less and can readily be replaced. If both are cycled fast in double action the Smith would have more problems in time due to the mass of the cylinder. Also, due to value I would be somewhat reticent to take it afield and would use mainly for an occasional paper punching. For the size (N frame) would prefer a larger caliber to take advantage of the size such as .44 Mag or .45 Colt. I have a medium size hand (9.5) so find the trigger reach of the GP-100 is better for me than the N frame.
Having had one "classic" [Colt Python] that did not get much use because of value would not do that again as anything I have I shoot a fair amount. Guess I am a user and not a collector. Someone with a different bent might take the opposite approach.
July 10, 2010, 02:51 PM
I have had a Ruger GP100 6" and it was way accurate. I can't imagine anything shooting better than that gun.
July 10, 2010, 05:12 PM
Over the years, I've owned both Ruger and S&W revolvers. Both are good guns, and both have their strengths and weaknesses.
Now, with the afore-mentioned disclaimer, I will say this. I have OWNED 2 Ruger GP100s over the years, but I presently OWN a S&W Model 28-2 (The no-frills version of the 27). I just haven't found a GP100 yet that I can honestly say I prefer over an older pre-83 pinned and recessed S&W.

I chose the Ruger.
I have 2 M10s & 27s look very similar.
Whereas the GP100 looks different.

July 10, 2010, 06:18 PM
I have had both. I still have the 27 but not the GP-100. I love the 27. My favorite is a 5" model.
July 10, 2010, 06:52 PM
No doubt about it, Smith is trading heavily on their name. The Ruger GP 100 is the most rugged trouble free double action firearm you can buy. It will not let you down. I walk pipelines out in the mines day in and day out. I encounter ferral dogs, snakes, wild hogs, and some pretty nasty people. My Ruger GP 100 is allways with me.
July 10, 2010, 07:34 PM
I'd pick a 3 or 4" GP100 over most Smiths... comparing newer Smith models to ones from my father's or grandfather's generation, I can't see any compelling reason to buy one. They do have a classic look and I actually want to prefer a Smith, but my Rugers seem to be better built & more forgiving to shoot.
July 10, 2010, 07:41 PM
I voted M27 because I prefer forged and machined to investment cast. Also, the Smith is finished better and has a better trigger pull potential.

The S&W hands down. Both revolvers are tough, durable, and made to last several life times. Fit, finish, and trigger on th S&W are better. I don't own a -27 or -28 right now but I have owned both. I currently own a perfect Python and I shoot it about every range trip.As for -27s being too valuable to shoot, if I owned one, I'd shoot it. It would be a joy to carry and shoot. It was made to be shot, so why not enjoy it? YMMV.
July 10, 2010, 09:23 PM
S&W................there is no substitute.
July 10, 2010, 09:24 PM
I am Ruger fan thats why! S&W are over rated..
July 10, 2010, 10:00 PM
In terms of what?
July 12, 2010, 06:51 PM
There's zero doubt that the Model 27, P&R versions, were much nicer executed revolvers than ol' Bill's revolvers with the ugly warning rollmarks on the side of the barrel.
As others have mentioned, the best comparison is the 586/686 S&W L frames vs. the GP100.
Also, the best comparison of an N-frame S&W would be the "plain jane" version of the M-27 . . . the much loved Model 28 Highway Patrolman.
On all guns, the leaf spring operated action of the S&W revolvers (except the tiny J frames) gives one a better trigger job than how Ruger builds theirs.
They are all nice revolvers, and I own Ruger handguns . . . but to compare a GP100 to a P & R Model 27 would be like comparing a Lexus to a Ford Explorer.
Since no photos have been posted, here's one of a 3 1/2" barreled Model 27-2 that I bought this year . . . pure beauty and perfection! . . .
July 12, 2010, 08:38 PM
Neither, really, but I went with the Ruger. I prefer the Ruger design.
July 12, 2010, 10:54 PM
The model 27 is a CLassic with a capital "C." Even though I like the GP100 I would have to pick the S&W. One thing I really hate about the GP100 is the grips with the wood inside the rubber. They look stupid and on mine the wood cracked so that gave me a good excuse to replace them with some Hogue mono-grips.
July 12, 2010, 11:51 PM
S&Wfan those are beautiful pictures, especially the first one of the top strap checkering....the squared fo sight leaf is so much nicer than the current rounded leaf
i once considered having the top strap of one of my Pythons checkered, but checkering on the flat just didn't compare to the skill of checkering on a curve like the M-27.
i will add that the Security-Six is a much superior .357 Mag than the GP-100. if you'd really like a nice Ruger, look for a Davis Custom Couger...Security-Six mated to a Python barrel

I love the GP100. I used to have one, but had to sacrifice it to help me obtain a lighter concealed carry firearm. I look forward to the day I can purchase another GP100 with a 6 inch barrel. Of course, I wouldn't mind also having a S&W 686+ in my stable as well. Sorry, but I prefer the 686 over the 27. :eek:

Greeting's Jon My Friend-
To answer your poll, I would have too choose the Smith model 27 [P&R].
I don't consider myself a collector as per say; as "cumulator" is a better
word to describe me. With that said, I cumulate more Smith's than any
other type firearm. And besides, I own a 3.5" model 27-2 in UNFIRED
status that is absolutely goregous; in its presentation box~!
Hope all is well with you and yours~! May GOD BLESS~!

July 13, 2010, 07:19 PM
Nothing against Rugers, but they are not my passion. I already have a 27.
July 13, 2010, 07:56 PM
I voted for the Model 27. I just acquired a 27-2 recently and am amazed of it's accuracy. I have a S&W Model 681 4" for carry=very much like a GP-100.;)
July 13, 2010, 07:59 PM
The S&W would be my choice. The craftsmanship alone should sell a 27. The checkered top strap and the fit of parts. I owned 1 27-2 a nickel finish, great gun. I've owned a few Rugers but don't like them much.
July 13, 2010, 07:59 PM
I just personally prefer the GP100. I like heavy revolvers over light(er) ones.
Have you held a Model 27-6"==Not a light weight..
July 14, 2010, 07:48 AM
I like Ruger DA revolvers a lot, but I like Smiths much more, especially the N frames...I'd get the 27...I have a Model 28-2 right next to me this very minute. It was made in 1969, and is tight as new.
Get the Smith.
I do carry it occasionally, in an old pancake belt holster.
July 14, 2010, 04:22 PM
IF it was either/or, I'd get the Ruger -- just because the N-frame is too big for me, so I wouldn't shoot it as much, and I can't stand having a gun that I don't shoot because it doesn't fit. If it was both, I'd get the 27 as well because they are just too cool.
But I'd rather have a model 19 than a model 27. Fits better.
July 15, 2010, 03:27 PM
I consider myself a Ruger guy and am normally a big fan of their wheelguns. But I had a 6" GP100 that just left me cold. It felt like a brick in my hands. Never could shoot it well. Thought it was a huge step backward from the 4" Security Six that I've owned and shot (very well) for over 30 years. Traded the GP100 away and haven't missed it a bit. Maybe a 4" GP100 would've been OK, but a 6" with that heavy underlug just doesn't work for me.
I'd like to find a good Model 27 Smith myself.
July 15, 2010, 07:55 PM

this is, in my experience, is the truth
July 15, 2010, 08:06 PM
Hi I can understand your experience with your GP100 6 inch. I think they are muzzle heavy because of the full underlug. So is the 686 6 inch. I would much prefer a 27 or 28 6 inch or even a old Ruger Security Six 6 inch. Both are not as muzzle heavy because of the half under lug. To me a full under lug 6 inch revolver is harder to shoot.
July 15, 2010, 08:42 PM
27 with out any question!!!!!

July 15, 2010, 08:44 PM
My favorite revolver has always been the model 27. i think the ruger revolvers are a very well built and long lasting pistol.
I own a pre-27 with the 3 1/2" barrel made in 1952 in like 90% condition and a new in the box 1960 model 27 no dash in 6". The pre-27 5 screw pistol is a sweet pistol. I do like the model 28 also and have 1959 new in the box in 4" and a new (forgot which year) 28-2 in 6".

Smith - There is just somrthing magical about a smith!
July 15, 2010, 09:07 PM
I would get the Smith. In a 357mag I would think about an L frame. If I was to get an N frame I would get a Mod 29 with a 6" or 4" bbl.

July 15, 2010, 09:18 PM
As of today I own a 4" GP100. I have been a proud owner of a 686-1 for a few months...Both are attractive guns and have GREAT fit and finish, but, honestly speaking, the GP will undoubtedly be experiencing more rounds down the tube at the range and in the woods.

It happens at least once every off-season. Players become names on a piece of paper, far removed from the human beings and are thrown into the wind, just waiting to see where they will land. This year's 40 man roster trash is Russ Canzler. A victim of Major League Baseball's minor league option rules, Canzler has bounced back and forth between American League teams who think they might want him, then decide they'd rather have someone else.
Canzler was a late round draft pick (30th) in the 2004 draft by the Chicago Cubs and moved through their minor league system over the next seven seasons. He proved to be incredibly productive for a 30th round pick, especially his 2010 AA season for the Tennessee Smokies when he hit 21 home runs and knocked in 66. The Cubs disagreed and released Canzler at the end of his contract.
His first real chance came with Tampa the next year, when he won the International League MVP in his first year in AAA. He was a September call-up at the end of that year and played in five games for the Rays. At the end of the year, he didn't fit on the Rays 40 man roster and he came to Cleveland for the first time. He spent another year in AAA and was actually used as a September call-up in 2012, playing in 26 games for the Tribe. In fact, he played so well he looked to be a strong contender for the first baseman's job in 2013. With the signing of Mark Reynolds, the Indians decided they didn't have any more use for him, so they removed him from the roster.
The Blue Jays took advantage, thinking they found a diamond in the rough and brought Canzler into the fold. A quick change of mind brought Canzler back to Cleveland when the Jays signed another player and the Indians released Jeanmar Gomez. This strange decision by the Indians to bring Canzler back after already admitting they didn't want him made little sense as they had two more roster moves to make within the next week after adding Nick Swisher and Brett Myers.
As the low man on the totem pole, Canzler was gone again (although he made it through the Swisher signing). Russ Canzler is currently a member of the New York Yankees 40 man roster, but who knows how long he will stay there. If the Yankees decide they have no use for a 30 round draft pick that has bounced around the Majors, he could easily be somewhere else by next week. The last three moves have occured during the last two weeks, giving him a tour of North East.
The problem with all this is that he is being treated as a rounding error without any consideration to him as a human being. His talent level hasn't changed in the past two weeks. The Indians depth at first base hasn't changed. So why did they bring him back into the fold when they had to have known they were going to release him again? The same is true of the Blue Jays. What could possibly have changed within their organization within that week that made a player they were interested in become disposable?
Canzler is a talented baseball player that has beaten the odds to make it as far as he has, but, as a borderline Major Leaguer is now being treated like dirt. At some point Canzler will find his fit, whether it is with the Yankees or elsewhere. Hopefully, for his sake, he will find it before he becomes a waiver wire frequent flier.

In the last two years, she had lost her parents, Sargent and Eunice Shriver, and her uncle Ted Kennedy. Her husband Arnold Schwarzenegger had been essentially run out of Sacramento after a disappointing term as California governor, and he was returning to action movies at age 63.
Shriver, 55, found herself with four children growing up and going off to college and no full-time job. She was no longer First Lady. Her TV news career had been put on hold for seven years while Schwarzenegger was in the statehouse.
"Everything she knows has been moving out from under her," a longtime friend tells PEOPLE. "She has been keeping this very quiet. I don't know what she is going to do next; everything at the moment is on hold."
Everything, including her 25-year marriage.
Late Monday, whispers that one of the most famous Hollywood/political couples had been leading separate lives for weeks and perhaps months were finally confirmed: "We are living apart," they said in a joint statement that spoke to the fact they both were at a crossroads.
"This has been a time of great personal and professional transition for each of us," they said.
Flynet; Splash News Online
No ScandalAlthough Schwarzenegger has faced allegations of misbehavior toward women, friends insist there's no third-party, no smoking gun.
"I don't think there was anything calculated about the timing," says a source close to the couple. "For seven years, they both took their jobs very seriously – he as Governor and she as First Lady – and they were very, very busy. They weren't concerned with how things look in the public eye. Whatever decision they made was after careful thought and through prayer and they did what they truly thought was right for themselves and their children."
Sources say the separation was decided upon recently, and photographs in the last week show them both without wedding bands. It appeared that in the end, despite their wealth, fame and privilege, they are facing the same challenges and problems of many others.
"It's common for marriages at this point, where they are going through so many different things, to reach a period where they have to work harder at that marriage and work on it in their own way," says another source. "It's obviously very hard for him. He is doing the best he can. He's a very optimistic person. He loves her dearly. They are working on this together."
Their split comes after an improbable love story between a member of the Democratic Kennedy dynasty and the Republican bodybuilder/action star from Austria. And those who know them say they'll rely on their faith and commitment to family – and will bounce back.
"She will make something of herself again," says a source close to her. "She is fantastic and smart and very motivated."

Bill leaves it here so ...
Published 20/12/2012 | 20:50
From a 16-year old rising through the ranks at the Cork Examiner to a reluctant TV star, Bill O'Herlihy has experienced more than his share of ups and downs throughout his years as a journalist and broadcaster.
The RTE sports anchor was back in his native Cork last weekend to sign copies of his autobiography 'We'll Leave It There So' and revealed to The Corkman that he was also somewhat of a reluctant author. Having initially resisted requests to pen his story, he was convinced by friend and colleague Eamon Dunphy, and was eventually written with help from 'ghost writer' award-winning Irish Examiner journalist Ewan MacKenna.
The book is framed as a day in the life of Bill O'Herlihy, providing the reader with an insight into the running of RTE's hugely successful soccer coverage. It is through this prism that Bill outlines his life and career, which began in news and current affairs.
"My starting off was with the Examiner, and I got into television by accident in 1965 because I had done a small bit of radio work, and there was nobody based outside Dublin at that stage for RTE."
His introduction to television came via a request from Frank Hall, who asked Bill to interview a survivor of the Lusitania to mark the 50th anniversary of its sinking.
"I didn't think the interview was any good. I said to Frank Hall "Look, I'll do it on condition that if it's bad you won't use it". I had no experience of television interviews," said Bill. "He saw something in that interview that I didn't see myself, personally and he said I was to do all the work out of Cork for Newsbeat," he said of the show that paved the way for Nationwide.
His career then led to 7 Days, the Prime Time of its era. Having been 'enraged' at being transferred from his home to Dublin - having just met his future wife Hilary in Cork - 7 Days would mark the most controversial point of Bill O'Herlihy's career.
"It was not at all the scenario that was envisaged by the government who saw RTE as an arm of government rather than anything else, there had never been a current affairs programme that had been looking forensically at government performance before that."
In the book Bill outlines how he felt the administration at the time were unhappy with 7 Days' coverage and were waiting for their moment to pounce on 7 Days - and how a programme he worked on regarding illegal money lending provided that opportunity.
"It was very dramatic, using hidden camera and hidden microphones and it showed a level of lawbreaking that was unbelievable. There was Dáil debates about it and so they set up a tribunal. But it was very much a Fianna Fáil orientated tribunal, very political and the bottom line was that the programme was considered not to be authentic.
"My judgement was that was codology but nonetheless that was the decision, and that eventually led to 7 Days being taken off the schedule about a year later."
Given recent events, and as his own current affairs work that came under such scrutiny, does Bill have sympathy for RTE journalists who are currently under similar examination?
"I don't have any sympathy whatever in relation to the libelling of the priest. I just don't understand how that happened. I can't for the life of me understand, when they were offered a paternity test, why they didn't wait and put the programme out after the paternity test results were in. That is unforgiveable, I just don't understand that.
"The Frontline debate is different, that was the white heat of a live programme. But having said all that, I was surprised that the day after, when Pat Kenny was doing his radio programme that [Sean Gallagher] wasn't in a position to actually make it clear that the text message they got was wrong.
"I entirely subscribe to the view of RTE that there was a certain level of audience, about 800,000, but a couple of million more who didn't see the programme at all and who had to vote, so they wouldn't have been affected by the programme.
"I thought that he [Sean Gallagher] handled himself extremely badly. If he had indicated from the word go that he was Fianna Fáil but that he was so disaffected that he felt he should run as an independent people would have understood it."
Despite the uncertainty after the axing of 7 Days, Bill says that the move to sport suited him.
"I think I was lucky in a way because sport suited me more, temperamentally, but on top of that I was lucky to be working with Eamon for a good few years and Eamon and myself established a very good rapport. Then John Giles joined us and therefore the strength of the panel, in terms of its appeal to the audience, became bigger and bigger and the climax of that was the Italia 90 World Cup.
"For the first time as a nation we qualified for the World Cup, and the panel established itself in a definitive way.
"Not everybody agreed with what was being said but at the same time they knew full well that we were talking an awful lot of sense."
The panel can be divisive - has Bill ever found himself at odds with their opinion?
"If it's a question of the tactical analysis of the game, I am not qualified to tell them they're talking bullshit.
"We did a survey that showed that only about 32% of people understood the game. So my function is to bring out the knowledge of the analysts on the panel, to make sure they weren't preaching but conveying a lot of knowledge that the people at home wouldn't have.
"My function then is not to blind them with science, but to ask questions that the ordinary person would ask as well.
"The obvious area where we had a problem was when there was a huge divergence of opinion in relation to Roy Keane and Saipan. I very much pinned my colours to Roy Keane's mast there, and also most recently the whole question of the disconnect between the Irish fans and Trapattoni's team, because of the way Trapattoni was playing them.
"Liam Brady was absolutely incensed about my attitude - when I said there was nobody at the matches he said it was due to the recession. I said that was part of it, but not all of it.
"When there are issues that I think I can legitimately take up, I do take them up, but not in football terms. Football is what they are about, not me, and they would put me in my place, let me tell you, if I started to say 'well, you're talking nonsense about the play of the midfield' or something like that. I wouldn't get away with that."
In his career in public relations, Bill has advised previous governments on their communications. He believes the current administration needs to do more to reach out to the public.
"I think that the government needs to communicate to a much better extent with the people. They inherited a huge problem and I indicated to them, but I'm not an advisor to the government, that what should happen is that every three months they would come back to the people and say ' look, this is where we started off, this is where we are at the moment, this is what we are trying to achieve and this is what the next part is'.
"I have great confidence in Kenny and I think he will do what FitzGerald did before when Mrs Thatcher said 'out, out, out' in relation to the Anglo-Irish situation. I have no doubt that Kenny will deliver in 2013."
Finally, in the book Bill recounts the advice he received as a young journalist from the Irish Times' Paddy Downey - what advice has he for future journalists or broadcasters?
"I think the advice I got from Paddy Downey was not to write for yourself, or to be self-indulgent, write to create a level of understanding. That's the first thing if you're writer, and if you are covering games make sure that people can understand exactly what you are saying.
"Write for the person, not the expert.
"In broadcasting, I would just tell people to be yourself. I have made loads of mistakes, but I just say ' that's me'."
Bill O'Herlihy's autobiography 'We'll Leave It There So' is available in all bookshops now.

# /usr/lib/lpadmin -p lp -v /dev/ttyi1a
UX:lpadmin: WARNING: "/dev/ttyi1a" is accessible by others.
To FIX: ...(seemingly unimportant info)
UX:lpadmin: ERROR: Error writing printer information for "lp"
(No such file or directory).
If it matters, I know the printer spooler is not running and will not
start for some reason when directly called. I know I have the right
file (ttyi1a) as I can "cat" to it. Any ideas? Thanks.

On Tuesday, the Department of Defense announced it has awarded two contracts worth a combined $225.8 million for the supply of radiology systems, subsystems, and components to the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and federal civilian agencies.
The first contract, for $211 million, goes to Toshiba America Medical Systems and extends an existing fixed-price contract with economic-price-adjustment into a fourth "optioned" year. This contract will be performed in fiscal years 2013 and 2014.
The second contract, for $11.8 million, goes to Toshiba subsidiary Vital Images of Minnetonka, Minn. Also an option-extension, this contract adds a second year to a previously issued fixed-price-with-economic-price-adjustment contract, and it, too, will be performed in fiscal years 2013 and 2014.

NEW CUMBERLAND-Hancock County authorities are searching for a suspect in the robbery of the New Cumberland branch of Hancock County Savings Bank this afternoon.
The robbery was reported at about noon at the branch office, 1200 Ridge Ave., New Cumberland.
Officers with the New Cumberland Police Department and the Hancock County Sheriff's Department are on the scene investigating.
New Cumberland Police Chief Lester Skinner said the robber did not show a weapon but did have a note. Skinner said his office may release photos of the suspect later this afternoon.
Sheriff Ralph Fletcher said his office also expects to issue a news release later today.
This is the second robbery at the bank in four and a half years.
The New Cumberland branch was robbed in August 2008 by a man who then fled to Texas and joined the military.
Robert Solerno, 25, pleaded guilty to a bank robbery charge last week in Hancock County Circuit Court-16 months after being returned to West Virginia from Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas.
Solerno, who was 19 at the time of the robbery, had been living in Steubenville under house arrest with GPS monitoring, Hancock County Prosecutor Jim Davis said.
Solerno entered a plea before Judge Larry Starcher, who sentenced him to a maximum of two years at the Anthony Correctional Center for youthful offenders in Neola, W.Va., Davis said.
If Solerno does not comply with the restrictions of his sentence, he would face 10-20 years at a state prison, Davis said.

Caribou Rising
Rick Bass
Photograph: Howie Garber
(page 1 of 2)
In Caribou Rising, hunter, environmentalist and writer Rick Bass journeys from his beloved Yaak Valley in Montana to Alaska, into one of the sole remaining landscapes on Earth where wilderness is entirely untrammeled—America's Serengeti, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. It is a place where great caribou herds gather, calve, and migrate as they did in the Pleistocene, and where the ancient bond between animals and human hunters still informs daily life. Rather than fighting in the abstract, Bass argues with passion and logic for the preservation of the besieged caribou land of the Gwich-'in, putting forth the simple question: Which is worth more to humankind, an insignificant amount of oil (more could be conserved with improved fuel economy standards) or an ancient culture and a glorious ecosystem? Bass's Arctic sojourn brings surprises and unexpected rewards, not the least of which are the lessons learned when this vastly experienced backcountry traveler gets lost deep in the very wilderness he fights to protect.
When you enter a stretch of woods like this one, you are not manipulated by anyone or anything, nothing is being misrepresented or withheld, you are not being lobbied,
no affection (or resentment) is being dispensed or withdrawn based on what you do or don't do; there are no demons or past history in nature's relationship to complicate yours, and, perhaps most reassuring of all, nature is largely democratic—if not quite blind to the color of your skin, or any other physical characteristics, then at least nonjudgmental, impartial. The latter quality, in my opinion, is increasingly rare.
Time falls away like an old snakeskin shed, like useless anger released and then blown away by the wind. Time is not even so much scrubbed clean and bare, out on this landscape, as it just vanishes—as if it never existed. As if here, it never even developed in the first place.
Following old moose trails through the willows, trying to work around the big lake from the west, and trying to stay dry—avoiding the buggy patches and puddles—I soon encounter another, smaller lake, and, circumnavigating it in an effort to remain dry, another, and then another. And though I do not yet know it, I am lost, in a specific sense, though not in the general, for I know that I am still in Alaska, still somewhere above the Arctic Circle, and still somewhere on the east side of the North Fork of the Chandalar River.
But in the moment, I'm not even yet aware of the specific loss of direction and location. Instead, I'm merely pushing on, being drawn deeper into the sparkling, glinting lakeland, each new pond or lake more brilliantly blue than the last, its reedy shores more vibrant green, and with more and more waterfowl resting on its waters, beginning to congregate in flocks and rafts for the annual trip, so many thousands of miles south, and then so many thousands of miles back. A thing like bliss, like euphoria, begins to fill me—I can feel it rising within me—and then it does fill me, and I keep walking, wandering toward the mountains, which are closer now, and sometimes I navigate around the eastern shore of a sparkling lake, and other times, around the western shore: and the lakes and ponds are unending, are all connected, I see—I'm leaping the little channels and creeks that conjoin them—and soon my clothes are stained purple from passing through so many blueberries, and though I'm not seeing any caribou, it feels good to be hunting them, to be walking and looking for them.
And there are times when, in my pleasure and in the intensity of watching for them, and believing that they might be there, it seems that for half-an-instant I catch the shuttered glimpse of their movement, passing between trees, or slipping farther into the forest, just at the edge of my vision. I have never had such a thing happen to me, as a hunter, before—either the animals are there or they aren't—but it happens several times on this walk, glimpses moving through the brush like the ghosts of caribou: and while those images might well have been generated exclusively from my own mind, I am not at all certain that is the case; I would not be surprised if landscape and even time had something to do with it as well, so that perhaps a hundred years ago, or two hundred, or longer, a caribou had passed through, between those two trees where, for just the blink of an eye, I thought I saw the flash of an antler, or the glint of a hoof or an eye; or that perhaps in a few years hence—ten, fifty, a hundred—one might yet pass through that one point in space, and with me trailing it, somehow, only a hundred years or so behind. >>>

The one-time mistress of former Newark Mayor Sharpe James said she made "mistakes," but intended no harm as she faced a federal court judge who will sentence her and the ex-mayor on corruption charges today.
"I helped a lot of people also your honor. I am not a bad person," said Tamika Riley, 39, a publicist from Jersey City who was found guilty of tax evasion and lying about her income to collect housing subsidies.
She also thanked her mother and apologized to James.
She could face 8 to 10 years in prison under federal sentencing guidelines.
"I am willing to grow and learn from the mistakes that I have made. ... I made the decisions, I made the mistakes. ... I did not come to Newark, New Jersey, to do the things that they said I did. I will take responsibility. I am sorry," she told U.S. District Judge William Martini in Newark.
Riley's remarks came more than two hours into a sentencing hearing for herself and James, the former five-term mayor. A jury convicted the pair in April of fraud and conspiracy, concluding that James failed to disclose his relationship with Riley when he arranged for her to buy nine city parcels in a redevelopment zone between 2001 and 2005.
"I want to sincerely apologize for being here in this courtroom. I am trying not to get emotional ... for all the mistakes that I made. I did not come to Newark, New Jersey to defraud, to take, to do what has been said to me," Riley said. "I will sit here before you and tell you I know from my heart, and I want to tell you eye to eye ... I made a lot of mistakes your honor, but by any means, I did not come to Newark or any other city to take or defraud."
She admitted that during the years she spent with James, she was careless and reckless.
"I am responsible for my mistakes. I am not here to blame anyone," Riley explained. "I wanted to let you know how truly, truly sorry. I am taking responsibility for everything I have done"
"I want to thank my mom for being here that's my rock ...
"I am not here to make any excuses. Whatever you feel that you need to do to me, I am willing to take."
"... I wanted also to apologize to Mr. James just for everything."

I have EVOX installed, and can FTP. I followed a tutoiral "Evolution X for Dummies". So on my C I have msxboxdash.xbe and xboxdash.xbe. Is "msxboxdash.xbe" EVOX and "xboxdash.xbe" the M$ one? If so on Evox when I go to MS Dashboard, nothing comes up. Should I rename "xboxdash.xbe" to something else for Evox to find it?

I don't have answers but with my xbox I use the X2 4983.67 bios and it has a boot sequence. So in my "C\" I have xboxdash.xbe and evoxdash.xbe(Evox). The Evox ".XBE" file is only 752KB and the MS dashboard is around 1,890 KB. So make sure that your xboxdash.xbe in your "C\" is not actually the evoxdash.xbe otherwise if you try to choose MS Dashboard it won't show up and it'll keep going back to Evox dashboard.
Posted 11 May 2004 - 08:39 PM
My xboxdash.xbe is 752kb and my msxboxdash is 1.56MB.
Posted 11 May 2004 - 08:47 PM
well you have to rename the xboxdash.xbe(752KB) to either evoxdash.xbe or default.xbe and rename your msxboxdash.xbe(1.56MB) to xboxdash.xbe. And you should be fine.

Hopefuls screen for open position on SKSD
The South Kitsap School District Board will choose tonight from five candidates vying a seat left vacant following the resignation of previous board member and vice president Chuck Mayhew.
Mayhew announced his decision in February but did not give a reason at the time, and he was gone from the board by the next meeting.
Current Board President Patty Henderson said Mayhew was making a career change.
Unlike the last election, in which Henderson, Jay Rosapepe and Keith Garton ran unopposed for each of their seats, this opening saw a number of applicants.
Henderson noticed the difference as well, expecting initially one or two people she knew would apply.
We tried to really get the word out, she said. We talked it up with friends and colleagues. I was really pleasantly surprised, and Im excited that so many people want to be on the school board.
Kathy Simpson, who holds the seat for the 4th District, speculated that applying before a board of four people might be easier for candidates than throwing themselves at the will of the voters.
From what Ive seen in the past, appointed positions tend to get more candidates, she said, explaining that when she lived in District 3, she ran for the seat and lost. It is a little less intimidating to seek and appointed position rather than an elected position.
Simpson said she will ask the candidates about their involvement in their community, their interest in public education and how they work within a team.
Shes also interested in their long-term plans on the board, even though they will have to run for re-election in 2009.
Appointed officials must run for election at the next election, and for this position it will occur when Mayhews term would have expired.
My hope would be that the person appointed would also be interested in pursuing teh position in the next election, Simpson said. The continuity is good for the board and they gain a lot of experience in that year and half.
Henderson said she is looking for an open-minded candidate who is ready to work.
We dont need someone who is all up on every issue, she said. You just have to be ready to learn.
Among the five applicants is Chris Lemke, who held the District 3 position previously.
The board meets tonight at 6 p.m. and will interview candidates before breaking for an executive session to discuss who to appoint.
The meeting takes place at the SKSD Administration Center at 1962 Hoover Ave. SE.

2D Vector Memory Problems
I have been having a serious problem relating to memory allocation and arrays/vectors in C++ using the G++ compilier on both a windows machine(Dev-C++) and linux(debian). I would post all the code, but it is proprietary technology(I'm a Graduate Student) and therefore I can't share it openly without permission.
That said, the part of the code that is having a problem is not the proprietary part, so I will give a redacted version of what I am doing and explain the error I am getting.
Basically, the program has 2 classes, which we will Trainer and Runner. The main function merely calls an instance of Trainer once with certain parameters, which in turn calls one instance of Runner with certain parameters.
The redacted header files for each look something like this:
#include <iostream>
#include "Runner.h"
Basically, each class has a 2D Vector which holds training set data and paramter data respectively. These do not change in size once filled, and the training data never changes once loaded.
Here is the constructor and load data for the Runner class:
#include "Runner.h"
#include "Trainer.h"
Unfortunately, regardless of if I try to load the data from a file or randomly generate it, it will often fire off bad allocation errors or crash the program altogether. The same thing happens if I use float ** and "new" to create the 2D Array. Any ideas?

People Like Us
Before they had Too Much Money, the inhabitants of Dominick Dunne s glitzy, gossipy New York Times bestselling novels were People Like Us.The way journalist Gus Bailey tells it, old money is always preferred, but occasionally new money sneaks in even where it is most unwelcome. After moving from Cincinnati, Elias and Ruby Renthal strike it even richer in New York, turning their millions into billions. It would be impolite for high society to refuse them now. Not to mention disadvantageous. As long as the market is strong, there s absolutely nothing to worry about except for those nasty secrets from the past. Scandal, anyone?

AFA 2010 Atlanta Meetings Paper
Turnover, extreme returns, news and advertising expense are indirect proxies of investor attention. In contrast, we propose a direct measure of investor demand for attention -- active attention -- using search frequency in Google (SVI). In a sample of Russell 3000 stocks from 2004 to 2008, we find SVI to be correlated with but different from existing proxies of investor attention. In addition, SVI captures investor attention on a more timely basis. SVI allows us to shed new light on how retail investor attention affects the returns to IPO stocks and price momentum strategies. Using retail order execution in SEC Rule 11Ac1-5 reports, we establish a strong and direct link between SVI changes and trading by less sophisticated individual investors. Increased retail attention as measured by SVI during the IPO contributes to the large first-day return and long-run underperformance of IPO stocks. We also document stronger price momentum among stocks with higher levels of SVI, consistent with the explanation of momentum proposed by Daniel, Hirshleifer and Subrahmanyam (1998).

Stage 2
Redness, edema, blistering and hardening (induration) of tissue, skin is open and inflammation extends to the fat layer with superficial necrosis in advanced stage II lesions.
Prevention is the most effective intervention:
• Use wheelchair cushions, floatation pads, and pressure-relief bed aids to distribute pressure over a large skin surface.
• Train the individual and/or caregivers in positioning and weight-shifting techniques and schedules and in proper skin care.
weight-shifting techniques
1. Full push-ups, lateral leans, forward leans, or wheelchair tilt/recline options are common techniques used depending upon the abilities of the individual.
2. Weight shifts should occur every 30 min for 30 sec

Smoke from a wildfire could affect the after-work commute for drivers in Marion County.
A large brush fire is still burning in the Ocala National Forest.
The blaze has already torched 460 acres off State Road 40 near Ocala.
On Tuesday, a school bus loaded with children had to be escorted out by police because visibility was near zero.
Residents are doing what they can to protect their animals. Some are even wearing particle masks so they don't breath it all in.
Firefighters are now trying a special chemical product designed to better attack muck fires because they burn under the surface and smolder.

Hi neighbor! Typing this from my office in the CBD!
How's it going all, just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I'm Ali, I'm currently living in New Orleans, Louisiana, and have been primal for almost a year now.
I'm 5'8" I was at 184 lbs when I started, having reached that weight from 205 by doing a conventional lifting/hiit/bodyforlife program. I was stagnant at 185 for around a year, then I started Primal/Paleo. Immediately was down to 173, and within 6 months have been down to 158, a weight I had not seen since my freshman year of college when I was training to play D3 bball.
Currently in Medical School, I've been having a harder time staying on primal over the past couple months, and have let myself gain a couple pounds. So here I am, hoping to stay active in the primal community to keep me motivated as I try to hit my goal of 155, 7% bodyfat by Memorial Day.
I find conventional medicine and primal to be mostly compatible, and more so every passing day as research continues to come out and validate many of the principles Mark and others espouse. You'd be surprised how many of my med school colleagues are starting to question the conventional wisdom of a carbohydrate based diet, and are moving towards all these ideas.
Anywats, hope to meet some cool primal folks, and if anyone is also in NOLA, drop me a line! It'd be fun to meet some other folks with the same interests,
All Best,

Welcome Ali. It's great to have a med student in our group.
Ancestral Health Info
I design websites and blogs for a living. If you would like a blog or website designed by someone who understands Primal, see my web page.
Primal Blueprint Explorer My blog for people who are not into the Grok thing. Since starting the blog, I have moved close to being Archevore instead of Primal. But Mark's Daily Apple is still the best source of information about living an ancestral lifestyle.
Hey we have a great group on Facebook called NOLA Paleo. Check us out! the link is below!

Hope you will feel better once the processed carbs clear out of your system. :)
I had a minor mindless eating episode picking at the frozen cheese. Bad cheese too. I was able to think about it, identified that I was trying to unwind that way, but alas, still have an extra pound this morning. Which was disappointing because I hoped to be down or unchanged for loss or maintenance this Saturday. However, it was a recovery day, I only walked for an hour and roller bladed, and dug a bit in the garden, and now I have two days of no nonsense exercise coming, so maybe I will be able to avoid another gain. That kind of stuff always makes me want to over-exercise, but I am keeping tabs on my eagerness. Because, who knows, the body works in weird ways.

I was eating up to 6k calories a day, mostly from fat- I was VLC/ZC for ~18mos. I was literally drinking butter and other fats. Bear in mind, I do no "cardio" type things- just an active lifestyle and lifting weights(low reps). I lost 20+ pounds of muscle in ketosis. My mood was the real tell- the instant I started eating carbs, my mood skyrocketed, and cutting carbs out drops it within days.How do you know that increasing your carbs made you feel better mood and energy wise because ketosis was "not working" and not because you just needed more calories to fuel your intense level of physical training? It's difficult to get enough calories if you are lean and working out strenuously without adding some carb unless you are gong to eat 24 oz steaks covered in butter for every meal.
Sure- ketosis is good for some, and not for other, and many people fall in between. However, we also know which groups tend to do better on each. If an 19 yo athelete feels terrible in ketosis, I'm going to tell them to eat some primal carbs. If someone is in ketosis bc they have epilespy, then they need to stay in it and figure it out. In between, it's more of a discussion.I totally agree that lean, very active individuals with healthy metabolisms often do better with adding carbs. But that doesn't mean that ketosis is necessarily harmful to everyone or anyone. I know you (AP) didn't say it was but some of the carb pushers have been lately.
I do understand why people who had experience like mine are anti-ketosis, though. If I had been more prone to depression, that mood drop could have caused real problems(we're talking going from a 8 to a 4 on a 10 point scale), and in a certain cases, that insulin sensitivity could have caused issues, too. If I was driving, and reached down to grab my Zevia, and got my passengers coke instead, that swig would be bad. A contrived situation, yes, but there are risks for some.
FWIW, I lost significant fat when I re-introduced carbs.

My journal: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread36279.html
My "Program": doing my version of a 4:3 - 3 day fast diet with real food every day, with a little twist of anti-inflammatory mixed in.
Karin - how ya doing? BB game?
Pain is between 3-5, so better. My protein is out of control again, whats up with that?? I need to refocus and get my fat back to 80%. Lily played a good bball game. She has improved a lot since the start.
Well, it's definitely not easy to keep the fat so high. Who knew, right? Seems like it should be super easy. But, short of just eating a stick of butter, the fat either has carbs or protein attached!
And of course, most of the things we would have eaten fat with are totally off limits!
I don't think a day or 2 of the macros being skewed will mess you up, you have had so many days when they were spot on.
Did you do a detox bath, or just a soak?
I soaked in epsom salts and essential oils for @ an hour. I am feeling better in my joints but still have minor pain. Tomorrow will be better.
Is all this from eating nightshades?
I think so. It would have to be because its the only deviation i have made. I have been super good and on track.
On the plus side, i am still i n moderate ketosis.. i cant seem to go deeper...
I did another soak in epsom salts and added baking soda. Some of my joints feel arthritic which is odd for me.

Media Release: The New Garden Route Park is here
Date: 2008-12-10
The proposal for proclaiming the Garden Route National Park (GRNP) was finally gazetted on the 21st of November and the proclamation of the Park is now only months away.
The new Garden Route National Park will be unique in the sense that the proximity of the residential areas on its periphery will definitely have an impact on the character of the park. It is therefore imperative that the local authorities and residents of the Garden Route realise that they have a contribution to make to ensure that the integrity of the park stays intact, both from an environmental as well as social perspective. The emphasis will be on landscape conservation rather than the traditionally practiced conservation within a confined area.
Mvusy Songelwa, Regional Manager of SANParks Garden Route said it is an exciting challenge for the area. "The National Park will be made up of the currently proclaimed Tsitsikamma and Wilderness National Parks, the Knysna National Lake Area, the Southern Cape Indigenous Forests and the associated fynbos Mountain Catchment Areas."
"The team in the Garden Route will be part of the coining of a unique conservation model in South Africa and Africa. The geographical diversity of these various areas makes for an exceptional conservation model. There will be no other National Park in South Africa that will include the unique combination of marine, coastal, lakes, indigenous forests and mountain catchment areas. The National Park will also not have any additional entrance gates and fences erected to mark its boundaries other than those already in place at the various camps. Our distinctive economic drive will be 'conservation without boundaries' in the landscape, unlike in other parks with fenced boundaries."
The statutory 60 days for public comment will apply and during this time SANParks Garden Route will host public information sessions, starting in January 2009. Songelwa said it is important that the community is part of the process. "We want to encourage the public to write their comments directly to the Department of Environmental Affairs as per the gazette requirement."
Once the 60 days period has expired and pending public comments to the Minster, the proclamation will follow suite. "We hope that the new National Park will be a reality by Easter 2009," said Songelwa.
