Residents of Philadelphia's Logan section, launching an assault against one of Mayor Goode's key initiatives, appealed to a state Senate committee yesterday to prevent the city from leveling nearly 1,000 homes in their neighborhood.
The residents found an immediate ally in the Senate Urban Affairs and Housing Committee, which also accused the city of planning a wholesale demolition and said Goode was mismanaging the Logan crisis.
With criticism of Goode mounting, the committee is considering introducing legislation that would sharply limit the city's authority in the demolition and relocation program designed to assist residents whose homes are sinking into an ash and cinder fill.

It's been a full week without Oz, and my search has hit a dead end. No one at the porn shops has seen her, and she's unknown to the peep shows and strip joints. Maybe she's found a real job and a place to live, but why wouldn't she leave word at the hotel desk? So I keep heading off to Times Square, pretending it serves a purpose, but when the Scotch runs out, the panic fills its place, and I know I'm just looking for a way to spend my days. Without Romaya, without a job, without the Internet or even my companions, I have become too aware of time.
But this morning, I found something that could consume hours. Maybe even days. It's a high end porn club, secretly catering to the basest and most craven sexual displays. Things that would make even a German search engine blush. It's called Rule 34, and it makes every effort to honor that Internet axiom. In front, it looks like one of several upscale N.Y. steakhouses, and, indeed, it is an upscale N.Y. steakhouse. That's part of the appeal: you have a legit reason for being there. But the interior descends into a darkened segmented circle on multiple levels. Each segment holds a room of about forty spectators and a brightly lit stage that keeps the rest of the audience in total anonymous darkness. But that's not all. Just like porn sites, or even YouTube, there is additional suggested viewing. Each of the side walls has two windowed cut outs giving soundless sneak peeks of the action at the rooms above and below. For an entrance fee, (plus each room's additional fee,) you can enter and sample fully from the well-stocked perversion.
I don't know why it took me all day before I realized I could request neo-punk Australian porn. Maybe I was distracted by the horse, or the twins, or, so help me, was that Screech from Saved by the Bell getting dominated by Small Wonder? But eventually, I asked, and they did have it. It wasn't Oz. Just a skank from Queensland, getting double-teamed by two guys with Mohawks. I went home disappointed and vowed never to return to Rule 34 where I spent all day staring so intently at things I never wanted to see.
Day 49: OLD SCHOOL PEEP SHOW
I have spent every day of the last week at Rule 34. If I weren't drinking so heavily I don't think I could live with myself. A full week with nothing but alcohol and head-shakingly awful pornographic displays has left me numb. Numb even to the pain that kept me company. I haven't had a real conversation with anyone since being interrogated by Rowsdower two weeks ago. And I haven't spoken at all since yesterday afternoon at Rule 34 when I asked if they had a room with Agent Scully and Lt. Uhura getting bi-curious. (They did).
So today I stayed close to home and went to the store I first visited. I bought a rubber mask that only covered the nose and eyes so I could still drink and headed for the peep show. I'd never been before, but I assumed nothing much had changed in the Apocalypse. No need to considering there was little difference from web cam girls. The room was small and dark, and reeked of what I hoped was bleach. I had passed a mop and bucket on the way in. I took a seat in front of the window, and a young woman with brown hair and glasses sat in a kimono on the other side. She was too pretty to be here.
"What do you want?" she asked.
"I'm not sure."
"Well, what do you like?" She reached over to the small table by her side to crush out a cigarette. "Do you want me to give you some choices?"
I thought for a moment. "I'd prefer not to," I heard myself say.
"Well, my name's Maya," she said, and uncrossed her legs. Her kimono opened slightly, still holding to her breast, but revealing a dolphin tattoo below her waist.
"Hello, Maya," I said. "Will you just sit here with me for a minute?"
"It's your money," she said and let the kimono open further. "So what should I call you?"
At this point, I couldn't think of a reason not to give my real name.
"Call me, Gladstone," I said, and took off my mask.
Maya jumped off her chair and closed her Kimono. "For fucks sake! Gladstone!"
I didn't understand. She banged up against the glass.
"It's me! Oz!"

YO, HO, HO . . . Friday is national Rum Day, and Maui's own Sammy-Hagar-look-alike of-a-Master-Distiller, Mark Nigbur, is ready to rock 'n' roll with his new rum, and then some.
He will appear on an esteemed panel of judges Saturday at the Don the Beachcomber Mai Tai Festival at Royal Kona Resort on the Big Island.
In conjunction with Hagar, he just introduced Sammy's Beach Bar Rum Red Head. And, soon he'll release Paniolo Whiskey; and Maui Moon, his Pau vodka, only flavored with hibiscus, pineapple and macadamia nuts.

Mulligan's on the Blue's Executive Chef Danny LeBag was the former banquet chef for 20 years at Four Seasons Resort Maui. He'll wow you with masterful tastes during the Willie K dinner shows.

Vino-Barista International Co., Ltd. announced today that Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa is the first major resort in the U.S. to integrate its wine preservation system at outlets on its Kaanapali property.
The new system will allow Sheraton to revolutionize the way wine is offered by the glass, as it completely prevents any oxidation.
"The system affords us the advantage of serving top-tier wines by the glass to our guests that we would not otherwise have the opportunity to offer," says Director of Food and Beverage Brandon J. Maeda.

Cowboys crave chili like keiki do popsicles. So, it's no surprise that Ulupalakua Ranch will host its first CASI Hawaii State Chili Championship from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 1. And, none other than Shaka Pops Maui is the co-sponsor. Hmm. . . I wonder if they are partnering on a frozen wine treat?
Deadline to enter is Aug. 22. The top three winners will be invited to compete at the Terlingua International Chili Championship (TICC) in Texas on Nov. 2.
Maui prizes include a hand-painted cook stove donated by Shaka Pops Maui, as well as gifts from Ulupalakua Ranch and Maui's Winery.
Chili must be cooked onsite that day. The $50 entry fee includes ground beef by Maui Cattle Co. and Ulupalakua Ranch. Entry forms, rules and details are available online at www.shakapopsmaui.com/chili.
The Willie K Dinner Show is heating things up in Wailea weekly at Mulligan's on the Blue. There is a $55 kamaaina rate, with regular seats at $65. The next show is Thursday, Aug. 22, followed by Wednesdays all the way to the end of September.
The menu changes weekly, but may include watermelon gazpacho, Greek salad, grilled ahi cooked medium rare with potato croquettes and Hayden mango beurre blanc topped with tropical fruit salsa and sauteed yellow and green zucchini. Dessert is always baked fresh at is sister restaurant, Fabiani's Kihei.
Sounds divine. Not Irish, of course, but Executive Chef Danny LeBag did train at Kell's Irish Bar in Portland, Ore., before coming to Mulligan's. However, the restaurant menu is full of robust Irish flavors. Enjoy $6 pupu at happy hour.
Maui Country Club in Spreckelsville sure is jumping with fun events. Next up will be Italian Summer Wines on Aug. 24. You may join the club for a two-month trial run, and taste the wines of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region with selections from the famed Bastianich Winery and Fantinel. New Executive Chef Sean Christensen is hitting his stride and will present Italian themed pairings in his fresh, local and sustainable style.
Another "club," the Chaine des Rotisseurs, will head to Lanai for its next function. Savor a luncheon at 11 a.m. Aug. 31 at Nobu Lanai in Four Seasons Resorts Lanai at Manele Bay. Since it's a daytime event, you may take the ferry over and back before sunset.
Manele Bay will also host a five-course Septemberfest beer dinner at 6 p.m. Sept. 2 with Maui Brewing Co. at Kailani Restaurant with food by Chef Dario Montelvere. Hmm. . . beer pops would be cool. Then again, so would mai tai pops, whiskey pops and vodka pops!

Ok, so writing about games. Wait, no, you want to talk about writing about games for money. Let's think about this for a second.
When this blog was just a bad idea that I tried to push out of my head early this morning, I knew that I should let it settle for a second before I started typing. These faux-"in the trenches" articles about writing for pay and how to break into it are usually pretty trite. I asked a friend of mine, another freelancer we'll call Brian, his opinion:
ME: This probably isn't a good idea, but I think I'm going to do a blog series about freelancing
Brian: Oh yeah? Hah...I'm guessing it won't all be rosy.
(We then went on to talk about poop schedules. Yes, seriously)
It won't. I've been freelancing for a couple of gaming sites on and off for the past four years and I've seen just as much bad as I've seen good, and I really haven't seen that much in the grand scheme of things. I don't want to scare you off from doing what you love for a little bit of cash, but it ain't as easy as sitting around with a laptop in a coffee shop and pouring your guts out over Phantasy Star II.
Still interested? Then in this series I'll offer the best advice I can from my own personal experiences: some general advice to start, meeting people and making contacts, and dealing with the pains and joys of working with people that have been in it a lot longer (and sometimes a hell of a lot less) than I have. I'll also throw in some bits about other friends of mine that freelance and some of the experiences they've had for comparison's sake.
A note before we move on: I'm going to make this as frank as possible without naming names and citing specific projects that I've worked on for whom. Again, I'm not going to complain about doing this; in fact, writing about games and getting paid for it is what just about everyone with an internet connection wants to do for a reason (because it's awesome), and this is one of the problems. This series is meant to give you both a reality check and some practical advice if this is something you really want to do.
Also, I'm not going to put in any stupid pictures of a typewriter or note pad or anything else that is a cliche "writer" thing. Just fair warning.
1: This is going to sound crass, but I've found it to be a cold reality: this shit is hard. It's difficult to get your work noticed (even if you're good, and I'm not talking about me), difficult to maintain relationships in such a changing niche market, and difficult to pay bills if you want this to be your only income. We'll get into all of these individually as the next few days ramble on.
2: Ever go to a gaming site when the editor is answering questions or listen to a podcast where your favorite writer/personality giving thoughts about this stuff? Yes, you have, and that means that you've also heard them tell you time and again that you need to keep writing constantly. Start a blog (like this one), get your thoughts down, do it often, and get comfortable writing. There is always a difference between natural talent and hard work, but how you treat both of them are equally important. Maybe you weren't the best student in your middle school English classes, or maybe you taught high school Language Arts. Yes, one sounds impressive compared to the other, but if the person giving students the rundown on Nathaniel Hawthorne isn't writing on the regular like guy that might fail their Scarlet Letter exam, then all of that skill that they think is innate will atrophy while the other person's growing. It doesn't matter what you write about when it all boils down to it (but routinely writing about games is kind of helpful), but you need to keep writing.
3: When I first decided that I wanted to write about games for dough, I asked a person that works for a very, very large gaming site for some hints on how to break in (whom was really cool about giving over some helpful advice. BONUS PROTIP: not everybody is). His best advice after #2 above: you need to read, and you need to read everything. Magazines, books, internet articles, the sports section, the financial reports, whatever you can get your hands on. You need to see how other writers write, and you need to notice the differences between the good stuff and the bad. This is mucho important, and more so than a lot of people think.
4: Persistence is key. Don't be a nag to people, but try not to get discouraged. You will be shot down for work more often than it will be offered to you by a landslide. Get used to that.
5: This is the biggest eye-roll advice you'll probably read, but you need to be flexible. Burn this into your psyche now. The games-writing business (whether you want to be called a "games journalist," a "games blogger," or just a "games writer") is changing pretty dramatically and constantly. You need to be able to adapt to the needs of the people you're working for and diverse enough to find other work when what you were doing dries up. That last part also super sucks.
Now that we have some of the yes-I've-seen-these-bullshit-tips-before-get-to-the-actual-advice section, which you should probably re-read if that's your reaction, let's move on to some the first big practicality:
I bet you've also heard about this little nugget in the past, too. "Hang on," you're thinking. "I have a journalism degree from the University of Iowa (or wherever). Why the eff should I be giving away these pearls for nothing with that kind of credential?"
People are already taking a shit on your ego because now you haven't done anything, just expected it to be done for you. Without a body of work to prove that you A) you know what you're talking about and B) you (and future editors) can cite your strengths and weaknesses then you just bought yourself a very expensive piece of paper from a very prestigious place that prints them. Am I saying that your high-profile degree is worthless? Absolutely not, but a lot of people that write regularly in the gaming press don't have backgrounds in journalism, or even, in some cases, anything related to the English language. While this might be changing as the years go on (again, because everybody and their dog wants to do this just like you), being a sound writer with a good portfolio of work can go a long way.
As I see it, there are two ways of doing this:
1: This, incidentally, is the route I have taken. Find a website that you enjoy that welcomes new writers. This doesn't mean places like 1Up, IGN, Kotaku, Joystiq, Polygon, GamesRadar, VG24/7 or just about anywhere else you might conjure up immediately off the top of your head. These folks are the big names, they pay, and everyone knows it so they're beating cats like you and me off with a stick. Smaller, more audience-specific places are a better start. Think spots that are specific to Nintendo exclusively, or are about nothing but retro games, or maybe one of the scoreboard sites. These places are doing the best they can with what they have, and most of the time they're just happy to keep the lights on, so they need decent writers that can work for free. Find your specialty and run with it. Content is king on any website and even smaller places know that if they want people coming back, they have to post new stories. That's where you come in.
What you get out of the deal:
-Exposure first and foremost. This is important. When you can refer back to work that was published and can link to it, you're way ahead of a lot of other people. It's easy to form a body of work here, so as long as you know that this is your best reward (and it is), it's always worth it.
-More eyes on your work, meaning better editing than your brother, your significant other, your parents and other people that don't want to hurt you. This is your chance to grow, so soak it in as much as possible. I'm not saying that you have to agree with every edit that's made of your stuff, but you should definitely take it all seriously. Listen to your editors and hone this stuff.
-Become diverse. What I mean is that if you're writing for a place that isn't paying you, they're probably open to any kind of content that you can pound out, as long as it's good. Reviews are what everybody wants to do, which is fine, but make sure yours stand out. Try to do some news, too. A lot of sites, other than the bigger "blog"-types, are starting to shy away from doing regular industry news, but it's a good exercise to know news cycles, and to crank out small stories on a timer. This doesn't mean that you should try to publish things every 20-30 minutes like Kotaku or Polygon, so maybe pitch little weekly news round-ups to editors once you've proven you can work on a schedule and under a deadline. You should also go to an event, maybe even one with another writer for the site, and cover what you see. Editors for the site should give you some direction as to what kind of content they want from these things, and these can be previews of game builds that you see (just the facts, no opinions unless they ask for them), interviews with developers (which is a huge deal if you can do these at events. REMEMBER TO BRING A RECORDING DEVICE or get an app for you phone), or color commentary on your experiences there. A lot of events are invitation-only, but going to PAX or something is still a good place to start.
-Move up within their ranks. Sounds little dumb, but if they have some sort of hierarchy like Senior Writers and Assistant Editors this means that you might learn to use their CMS (content management system) to post articles. Really, what we use to blog on 1Up is also a CMS, too, so you already have some exposure, but other places have proprietary stuff that is good to learn just for diversity's sake. Also, you may get the opportunity to coach other writers. This is definitely not for everyone, but if you're down for looking at other people's work, you can sort of watchdog how you do things as well. That never hurts.
-Everyone wants to start with writing reviews, and that's fine, but just know that you're probably buying your own stuff before anyone starts coughing up download codes for things, but those may come. Getting free junk is way awesome, but just you have to remember that you are not working for the people that provide the site this stuff, you work for the people that are receiving it. If a game is good, say that it's good. If it's shit, don't be afraid to tell people this, even if you scored it for free and you're trying to be cool. Effectively writing about how something isn't good is as much a skill as saying that it is. Want to know what's really hard? Trying to convey how something's just "all right." Trust me on this, if you're writing for place with a 1-10 scale of reviewing and you've got a game that's a solid 6 at best, trying to straddle the line between praise and punishment is tougher than you think. DON'T BE AFFRAID TO ASK YOUR EDITORS FOR ADVICE.
-Meet people. Meet people, meet people, meet people. I can't stress this enough. Brian, the writer I mentioned above, is a really great friend that I met through writing for a free site. We trade freelance tips together, brainstorm ideas off each other when paying places want us to make lists, let each other proof things, the works. He also lives in Canada, so we don't get to see each other often, but that's the beauty of the Internet. The writers and editors for the places that you cut your teeth at could be your future editors, colleagues, and even friends. Start a friendly rivalry with another writer and see how both of your work grows. Keep in touch with the ones that you trust because you never know what tomorrow will bring. Go to events with some business cards (if you can get some) and shake some hands. We'll come back to this stuff later.
The flip side to all of this is that, well, things happen. Web sites restructure and sometimes and forget to archive their previous content. Meaning, all of that writing that you've slaved over for nothing might be lost (this has legitimately happened to me) so you have even less to show for it. Also, you're doing this for a pat on the back and maybe the occasional free game or promo t-shirt. Fun in the moment, but that won't pay your gas bill. Still, there are serious benefits if you're willing to put in the time and ready to stick with it for a while.
2: Internships. If you're still in college and you are thinking of a career in games writing, this is something you should be thinking seriously about. Larger sites and their parent companies largely advertise their internship programs, especially in the summers between academic years. From what I understand, they tend to get competitive, so just know up front that there are an awful lot of folks out there thinking the same thing you are. Get to know what these people want to see if you can (strong portfolio, a decent resume, knowing that it's "video games" and not "videogames"). Write for your school paper or maybe a local free paper. Even if you think that people aren't reading it, you are growing your body of work, and experience is pretty important.
What are the potential benefits to this stuff? Honestly, I don't have firsthand knowledge of it, but other people that I know and have met have started their staff writing careers at one site or another because they interned first. Sorry that I can't be more specific, but the end result is what everyone wants, and if this is a way that you can logically get there, then start paying attention to hiring schedules and other information that turns up at the beginning or end of semesters. It can't hurt to try to inquire about these either, but, like everything else, don't be a dick to other writers. One email and maybe a follow up a week or two later is fine, but if they don't respond from that, then drop it. Chances are you'll see a similar sentence later on, too.
Ok, so that's a lot to digest for right now. The next one won't be as long, but we're going to get into some more personal experience in the next couple of days, so at least you can see what worked for me and what really, really didn't.

Before I get to the meaning of the title of this post, it is November 30th allihopa! The last day of dreary November is nearly over and we are one step closer to a fun filled Christmas in Sweden.
That means drinking, celebrating and passing out!
Which begs the all important question: will it snow on Christmas? And by Christmas, we mean December 24th. Not the 25th for you Americans.
For that, we ask Anders, the man who has November 30th as his namesday. It is said that if snows on this day, it will not on Christmas.
I know it is early in the day, but if anyone sees it snow in their region, send me a photo, and we'll post which cities may not be getting a white Christmas this year.
View from Linköping. Photo by Jesica
Ah, so Anders is something like Pauxatauney Phil? :)
My mother-in-law just sent me a SLEW of photos of her neighborhood in Stockholm. Lots of lovely fluffy snow looks like now—so none for Christmas? Nothing in NYC yet, so maybe we'll have snow?
@J – Seems like a Swedish version of Phil!
Yea, there is lots of lovely snow around. Looking like none for Jul though :(
Hope you get some in NYC!

Summary: Peters Canyon is a favorite of the local jogging and health walking set. The centerpiece of the park is a reservoir constructed by the Irvine Company in 1931. Bird watchers enjoy sightings of more than one hundred different species -- mostly waterfowl and riparian species such as tri-colored blackbirds.
The longest route through the park takes you around the lake and along the barren East Ridge with vistas of nearby bougeosis housing tracts. An invasive eucalyptus forest shades the south end of the ridge route and much of the Peters Canyon Trail which you take on your return to the lakeside pathway. A short side loop takes you through marshy creekside habitat.
For wilderness feel, there are better areas in Orange County, but for exercise, bird watching, and a taste of the grasslands that used to cover this area, Peters Canyon suffices.
Trailhead: From Interstate Five, take the Jamboree Road exit. Head northeast on Jamboree for approximately five miles to Canyon View Avenue. Turn left. The park entrance is about a quarter mile down the road on your left.
From California 91. Take the 241 tollway south to Santiago Canyon Road. Turn right onto Santiago Road/Chapman. At Jamboree, make a left. Turn right on Canyon View Avenue. The park entrance is about a quarter mile down the road on your left. (Lat:33.78382 Lon:-117.76202)

I love this hike. On Sundays my husband and i take our two Chihuahua mixes on a five mile hike. They seem to like it and enjoy being out of the neighborhood. I like that they allow dogs because some parks do not. On Saturday mornings I like to run the hills. It's a great workout and there's more to see than just the streets around town. If you go too late it gets pretty hot. I always try to get there by 7 or 7:30, especially if I have my pups.

Great hike today, very hot, with winds occasionally. We really enjoyed the full loop. Lots of families with little ones in tow. Lots of dogs (please pick up after your dog). I picked up refuse others left on the trails, people need to be more appreciative. The parking machine wouldn't take cash, so had to use our ATM, $3 is a bargain for such a great trail to be on. There was a mix of walkers, runners and bikes, a great place to train.

That depends on the brand of primers. With the Wolf primers "Magnums" are the recommended ones. With other brands....??? There is a lot of confusion and misinformation out there about the "dangers" of using magnum primers. Its not a simple subject as the manufactures themselves are not clear on what makes their primers "magnum". Now, Remington has a "small rifle" primer #6-1/2 that they tell you NOT to use in a .223 due to it being thin and not able to handle the pressure. They make a 7-1/2 primer that some books call "magnum" but that they recommend for .223. Go figure. Some say they only use magnum primers. Others say they use them in cold weather. One reference said, "Magnum primers may be helpful for ammunition that will be used in sub-zero weather conditions, but will rarely be necessary for general shooting needs." Note that they didn't say they should be used, they said they would rarely be necessary to ignite the powder.
I saw some good tests where a guy did all sorts of loads with different primers to compare magnums and regulars. Truth is, there was hardly, if any, differences in velocity between the two. Some will swear that magnums will cause excessive high pressure build up as they ignite the powder much faster. Is that true? Your guess is as good as any.
If you look at the amount of "fuel" in a primer compared to the amount of powder in a .223 there is a monumental difference in volume between the two. So, its hard to think that the primer can drastically change pressures. I have seen endless debate on this but have never seen any definitive proof one way or the other.
Do what some of us have done, just do a web search and read countless opinions on this. After reading twenty or so articles you will be more confused than you are now.
One point that many will make however is, if you start using ANY new component or load, start low and work your way up slowly from there.
February 19, 2011, 10:25 PM
No. No need for magnums for most loads in most calibers. stick with your loading manual recommendations. (I don't even think of them as recommendations, I think of them as law.) Probably why, after several million loads (commercial for 20 years, personal for over 40) I have never had a blowup or a misfire....and I have had a couple of commercial trap loads misfire.
February 19, 2011, 10:37 PM
They are recommended with W748 and H335 powders. I use both powders with standard SRP's with no problems and great accuracy.
February 19, 2011, 10:43 PM
I use standard CCI primers in all my 223 loads and have for about 18 years. At one time I was using military brass and CCI # 41 primers.I ran out of #41 primers and couldn't find any so I contacted CCI and they told me to use CCI SR mag.primers that thet were the same except for cup thickness.
February 19, 2011, 10:49 PM
I mostly use Winchester primers, which say "for regular or magnum loads" on the box. Makes it simpler to stock.

That's only true for their Large Pistol primers. All other flavors come in both standard and Magnum.

You're right, I was just looking at the boxes on top of the stack, and didn't notice they were all LP. :) I don't really load for anything that requres a Magnum primer, anyway, other than the .44 Magnum, and the Winchester LP works fine for them.
February 19, 2011, 11:19 PM
I was sold magnums by a dealer here on accident. He told me just to use the least amount of powder the book said. So if it said 34gr-41gr, go with the 34. What I was told to use them up.
February 19, 2011, 11:35 PM

Sorry to disagree but i have to. If you are normally using a charge of 38.0gr with a standard primer in your load and want to match the velocity/pressure with a magnum primer you "might" have to drop the charge to 37.8gr, if that much. A magnum primer isn't so strong at to require you to use the starting charge to be safe. Of course when changing components it's always a good idea to work up your load again.
During the shortage I was forced to use a lot of magnum primers in handgun ammo. All the load that were not at the top end of the pressure range were loaded as usual with no powder drop and all loads worked as before.
February 19, 2011, 11:35 PM
Magnum primers are about the powder used. They burn a bit hotter for a bit longer. They're for igniting hard to light powders and cold weather shooting. Some powders dislike the cold and get harder to ignite. Unless your manual says to use 'em, you don't need 'em. They have nothing whatever to do with the cartridge name either.
"...told me to use CCI SR mag. primers..." That's because their "milspec" primers are nothing but a brilliant marketing gimmick for magnum primers.
February 20, 2011, 12:12 AM
In my Hornady reloading book for .223, they specify SR Mag primers. These are the only primers I've ever used, no problems here!
Redneck with a 40
February 20, 2011, 12:52 AM
I use both CCI 400's and Wolf SRM's in my .223 loads, both work fine. I buy whatever I can find the cheapest.
February 20, 2011, 02:49 AM
I agree with Sunray, it mostly depends on the powder you're using. I tend to use them with ball powders like W748 and BL-C(2) and they do seem to offer more consistency - but that doesn't mean that a standard primer won't work either. You don't really need to use them in most cases.
February 20, 2011, 09:39 AM
I use CCI primers exclusively, in all my brass cases, and I keep it simple by using standard primers in loads using extruded and flake powders and magnum primers in all ball (spherical) powder loads. As mentioned, some ball powders can be harder to ignite in colder temperatures, under 32F, so working up those loads with magnum primers make sense.
Really, any primer can be used with any load IF if you work up, using the proper methods. The question of consistency is another issue.
What you don't do, is to substitute primers when using maximum or near maximum loads without backing off 2% or so and working back up.
February 20, 2011, 10:33 AM
I was sold magnums by a dealer here on accident. He told me just to use the least amount of powder the book said. So if it said 34gr-41gr, go with the 34. What I was told to use them up.
Not a very good dealer IMO to tell you that instead of exchanging them for the right primers.
February 20, 2011, 10:41 AM
After reading twenty or so articles you will be more confused than you are now.
Maybe this will help.
Different makes of primers will produce varying amounts of primer flash in size and duration. If you are using particularly difficult to ignite powder with smallest flash/duration primer in extremely cold temperatures, then you may need to use magnum primers.
I recently started reloading for .223/.308 and these articles on primers helped me get "less confused". :D

February 20, 2011, 11:02 PM
I almost always use CCI Small Rifle Magnum primers, and Speer recommends them for some harder to ignite powders like W748, BLC-2 & Varget.
I have used CCI standard with TAC & AA2230 without any issues.
For the most part, I just develop my loads using SR Magnums, I only have the regular ones because I accidently picked up the wrong ones on the shelf and had a few powders that don't list using Magnums.
February 21, 2011, 05:50 PM
In regardes to std primmer vs mag primmer and powder burn rates; My Lymans 49TH manual lists 15 differant powder selections for a 63gr jacketed smp (for example). On the burn rate chart they vary from 60th to 80th with 60 being the fastest and 80 being the slowest and all using a remington 7 1/2 small rifle primmer. This seems like a wide range of burn rates using a std primmer? So how slow of powder would you need to use before you would need to step up to a mag primmer?
February 21, 2011, 05:52 PM
W748 = 77th, BL-C2= 75th
February 21, 2011, 06:39 PM
So how slow of powder would you need to use before you would need to step up to a mag primmer?
Someone else could probably provide a better answer, but it probably depends on whether your loads ignited reliably to produce consistent shot groups on target for particular powder charge, primer, case type (smaller internal volume military or commercial) and temperature conditions.
I guess what may be most telling would be unburnt powder in the barrel? If the only variable in your load was standard vs. magnum primers and standard primers produced unburnt powder, inconsistent shot groups and showed large variations in chronographed velocities when magnum primers did not, I would consider either changing to hotter burning standard primers or using magnum primers.
February 21, 2011, 07:11 PM
I used CCI SR Magnums when burning 748 in .223.
I DO use CCI SR Benchrest - BR-4s - for loading 600 yard ammo for my .223. They seem to play very well with Varget in my match ammo, so for "big" matches I use Varget and CCI-BR4s. Of course, I've also used RL-15 and Remington 7 1/2s with good results too. So? :confused: I don't shoot benchrest, I shoot position matches, so take that for what it's worth...
February 21, 2011, 09:31 PM
I am new here and this is my first post. Also new to reloading this week. The major reason I am using CCI SR Magnum is as stated before that they have a thicker cap so as not to have a slam misfire in a semiauto ar rifle. I was also told of the lower temp aspect and a slight longer burn. I have read so much to try and feel confident about reloading. Still skeptical to go shoot the first ones. Glad I found this site.

The first fall football camp on the Stetson University campus in more than 50 years will officially come to an end on Saturday evening when the Hatters hold their second scrimmage.
The intra-squad scrimmage will be held on the lower practice field at the new Athletics Training Center on the corner of Amelia and Minnesota. The practice will start at around 7 p.m.
Fans who plan to attend the scrimmage should plan to bring chairs to view the scrimmage. Parking near the facility is also very limited and will require some advanced planning.
The scrimmage will bring to a close almost four weeks of preseason work for the new Hatters. Head coach Roger Hughes said there was much to be learned from holding a preseason camp this year. Those lessons will pay off next summer, when the camp will lead to the first game for the Hatters since 1956.
"I am so glad that we had camp, for a couple of reasons," Hughes said. "First, we have learned a lot about dealing with the weather here in Florida at this time of the year. If we only learned one thing, that is huge.
"The second thing is that now our players have a better sense of the kind of shape they need to be in, how hard it is going to be. I think that is going to be motivation for them to prepare better next summer so that we will be ready to prepare for our games.
"The third thing was that the people on campus now have a better sense about what it takes to deal with football – that includes housing, the cafeteria, the financial aid office, all of those kinds of things."
Hughes said the one additional advantage of having his group of mostly freshmen on campus early was that they were able to lend a hand to the rest of Stetson University's largest ever freshman class when they arrived on campus.
"This was a great opportunity for our football players to get to be known by the Stetson people while they were here," Hughes said. "Our guys all participated in "Home Team", which was an opportunity for them to go out and help other freshmen move in, and that reflected greatly on our program and athletics department in general. It also gave our guys a chance to interact with the rest of the student body."
With camp behind them, the players will have a chance at the scrimmage to show the coaching staff what they have learned over the last four weeks. The coaches are looking to see the team play with more athleticism, having to think less about what they are supposed to do.
"The first thing we want is to come out of the scrimmage injury free," Hughes said. "The second thing is that we want to evaluate our kids. We know that all freshmen are going to be up and down in their development, so we don't want to make decisions too quickly, because each kid is going to be different in his development.
"We are to the point where the kids should have a good idea of what the scheme is and they shouldn't have to think as much as they are reacting. It will give us a chance to see the athleticism in the players and to see if we might need to start moving some kids to different positions that might better fit their abilities."
Following Saturday's scrimmage, the Hatters will move into their regular fall routine. That routine will include practices three or four days each week along with an emphasis on getting stronger in the new weight room while also getting off a strong start academically.
"We have to make them look and play like juniors as fast as we can," Hughes said. "To have that kind of effect in the weight room, you can't be practicing seven days a week. We want to get maximum gains in the weight room but also continue to gain in the learning curve with the schemes. We want to give them maximum time for rest and recovery, to get on the weights and to get their academics off to the right start."
The plan is for practice sessions to be held early in the morning, with time in the afternoon dedicated to improving conditioning and film study.
Those early morning practices will also allow the members of the coaching staff to hit the road on the weekend to recruit and to continue to raise the excitement level for the return of football in 2013.
"The excitement around the program has been tremendous," Hughes said. "I have done more radio, TV and newspaper interviews than I did in a number of months at other places I have been. It is a good problem to have in that everyone is excited about it.
"I think that as the excitement continues to build we will be able to attract a higher caliber of athlete because we won't we selling plans, we'll have a physical place to show them. They can come in here and feel the excitement around the program."

Missouri quarterback James Franklin is no superstar, but he has all the makings of one, said his offensive coordinator, David Yost. Yost was comparing Franklin to recent Mizzou starters, and sees flashes of each in his current signal-caller.
"He's not Chase (Daniel), he's not Blaine (Gabbert), he's not Brad (Smith)," Yost told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, "but he has bits and pieces of all their games. And what we need to do is use those to his advantages and within our offense to mold it to kind of fit him."
No. 21 Missouri plays host to Miami (Ohio) on Saturday.
Franklin is a first-year starter replacing Gabbert. Like another Tigers' starter, Smith, Franklin is a dual-threat. He is not as fast as Smith, but according to the Post Dispatch, is a better passer. Yost said they'll ease Franklin into his role.
"We try not to put too much on the quarterback too early and kind of let him gradually build into that," Yost said.
It won't help Franklin that the Missouri offensive line is under construction. Center Travis Ruth is trying to recover from an Achilles injury. He could be out another few weeks.
Starting left guard Jayson Palmgren has moved to center and his backup, Justin Britt, will start at left guard. Guard Jack Meiners, like Britt, is a first-year starter.

It was supposed to be a simple trip to Savannah, where Charleston Mayor Joe Riley would give a lunchtime speech to a downtown business group about the ins and outs of running the Holy City.
Instead, it lit a fire under the leader of Savannahs leading historic preservation group over cruise ships.
Joe, please peddle your opinions elsewhere, Daniel Carey, president and CEO of Historic Savannah Foundation, would write afterward in a letter to the editor.
The skirmish stems from the mayors May 10 visit. Riley had been invited to the Downtown Business Associations monthly luncheon in Savannah.
It was one of various speaking engagements he honors as his schedule allows. Salmon was on the menu.
Riley had been briefed ahead of time about four questions to prepare for.
They covered the challenges of when he first was elected, the attraction of King Street, tourism, and fostering better relationships in the public and private sectors.
The curve ball came when somebody in the audience asked about handling cruise ships.
His response would be the dominant part of a Savannah Morning News story.
Among Rileys reported quotes:Charleston becoming a year-round home port for a cruise ship has worked out very well since Carnival stationed the Fantasy in 2010.
For a port city to have a cruise ship port is a natural.
He also said, Hotels and cruise ships and tours spit people out onto the streets who have disposable time and money in their pockets and improves livability for residents. Riley told The Post and Courier Thursday that he didnt say spit.
Instead, he said he used the word spin, in reference to revolving doors, as visitors move about a town.
A week after his talk came Careys cruise ship letter, which was published in Sundays Post and Courier.
Has it worked out well for the residents of downtown who have been forced to sue just to establish reasonable limits and ground rules for these behemoths? Carey wrote.
Is it natural for 2,500 people to be spit out onto the streets with time and money in their pockets??
He also said, As Savannah considers courting the cruise ship industry, I hope we give it more scrutiny than did Charleston.
Reached Thursday, Carey said he did not attend Rileys speech.
He did say the issue of cruises coming to Savannah is ripening, and the fear remains of visitation running amok if tourism management isnt done right and thousands of people flood the streets.
Were looking for high quality heritage travelers, said Carey, who said he has seen firsthand what happens when the boats arrive in Charleston.
Riley said his comments from that day have been misconstrued. He didnt go to Savannah to tout cruise ships, and the point he was trying to make was preparation and management.
I didnt say that cruise ships spit out 2,500 people; thats not in my vocabulary, he said.
As far as the comments in Careys letter, this is a free country and people can write what they want, Riley said.
Savannah Alderman Tony Thomas said cruise-ship visits are coming, with one of the big questions remaining is where the ships will tie up.

Small-town mysteries make for big chills in April's mystery column.
Under a Silent Moon
Elizabeth Haynes
Harper Collins, 368 pp., $25.99
What ties the possible suicide of a boozy middle-aged woman to the bloody death of her young neighbor inside her cottage? No one's telling Detective Chief Inspector Louisa Smith in the first book in this new series set in rural England. The small-town residents and the families of both women are keeping mum – especially the older woman's stepdaughter and her husband, who is recovering from a heart attack. The relationships among several of the characters are a bit confusing, and there a few too many coincidences in this novice mystery. But Haynes has created an attractive new heroine in Louisa. Grade: B-
Children of the Revolution
Peter Robinson
William Morrow, 352 pp., $25.99
Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks is the kind of man you'd like to spend an evening with: empathetic, smart, sophisticated, with impeccable taste in music, wine and food. He's not your usual hard-willing, beaten-down small-town English detective (anymore). Which is why it's too bad that the mysteries in the last few books in Peter Robinson's series have been so dull. "Children of the Revolution" (points for the T-Rex title) finds Banks investigating the murder of a disgraced college professor, now living rough. Turns out he had ties to the revolutionary student movements of the 1960s, which Banks thinks could be relevant. Suspects include a member of the local gentry and her family, but neither they nor the victim are interesting enough to make "Children of the Revolution" very compelling. Grade: B-
A Dark and Twisted Tide
Sharon Bolton
Minotaur Books, 400 pp., $25.99
London river cop Lacey Flint has fled from the traumatic events of her last case to the water – literally. She lives on a riverboat, (illegally) swims in the Thames and works on the river. But then she discovers the body of a woman on her morning swims, wrapped in a shroud and seemingly placed for her to find. Lacey has swum into one of the darkest cases of her career, as more bodies soon emerge. Author Sharon Bolton's choice to alternate chapters between Lacey and the trapped women and killers only intensifies the drama of this sharp page-turner. Grade: A-
Ruin Falls
Jenny Milchman
Ballantine Books, 349 pp., $26
When Liz Daniels wakes up in her hotel room and her 6- and 8-year-old children are missing, she's awakened into every mother's nightmare. Then it gets even scarier – they weren't taken by a stranger, but by her husband, Paul, a man she thought she knew and loved. With little help from the local police, Liz sets out to find her children on her own, uncovering some unsettling details from her husband's past and an ominous, secretive group where there is something weird going on with the children. Milchman's second book is a creepy, late-night page-turner. Grade: B

Showtime will air the first of three episodes of the network's All-Access: Canelo Vs. Angluo on Friday at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT in advance of the Showtime Pay Per View clash between former RING 154-pound champion Canelo Alvarez and junior middleweight contender Alfredo Angulo at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on March 8.
In a bout that is being billed "Toe-To-Toe, Alvarez (42-1-1, 30 knockouts) will face Angulo (22-3, 18 KOs) at the site of Alvarez's majority decision loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in September.
The Alvarez-Angulo event will also match WBC 122-pound beltholder Leo Santa Cruz against Cristian Mijares and WBC lightweight titleholder Omar Figueroa opposite Ricardo Dinamita Alvarez, Canelo Alvarez's older brother.
Also on the card will be the first defense by IBF 154-pound titleholder Carlos Molina against Jermall Charlo, the 23-year-old twin brother of unbeaten junior middleweight contender Jermell Charlo.
In the bout prior to the televised pay per view broadcast to be shown on Showtime Extreme will be a lightweight fight between ex-beltholder Jorge Linares and Japan's Nihito Arakawa, the latter of whom rose from the canvas during a brutal unanimous decision loss to Figueroa in July.

Winners Dave and Angela Dawes promised to make 20 of their closest family and friends millionaires...
The sister of Dave and Angela Dawes who won a spectacular €101,203,600 in October last year has started to take advantage of a generous cash gift from her brother. Janet Marquis has not revealed just how much she received from the Euro Millions winning couple, but the 46 year old has however moved from her £220,000 semi detached home in Kent to something much more comfortable with her hubby James.
Neighbours have been talking with local news sources about the move, but say that they are bound to secrecy with regard to details. One neighbour has said this week "The money had been well deserved and I know she is spending it wisely". After the huge Euromillions jackpot win in October Mr Dawes made a public pledge to make 20 of his family and friends millionaires. His half sister Janet Marquis was one of the first lucky few to feel the benefits of his generosity.
Dave Dawes a 47 year old -former- factory supervisor said at the time of his win "Any one who has helped us through our life, we intend to make them millionaires". Mrs Marquis spoke directly about her brother's generosity after she received the gift: "We have had all this thrust upon us, so it's really all very strange at the moment." she continued "I would prefer not to say how much he's given me, but it is genuinely life-changing and will be very well spent".
Another former neighbour of Mrs Marquis has said "We were all as surprised and as pleased as they were I think when we all found out. Janet's brother must be a very generous man but it is well deserved".
If you want to be the one making your family and friends millionaires then tonight's enormous Euromillions rollover prize could be just what you need. Just purchase a ticket before the deadline and you could be in with a chance of winning a life changing €44,000,000!

Insulation: What to Consider
Tiny House Giant Journey's Rigid Foam Board Insulation
Many tiny housers live in cold and hot climates. There are Tumbleweeds that muscle through Alaskan winters (such as Heather's Cypress and Nathan's Cypress) and ones that chill-out during Louisiana summers (such as Art's Elm) and protect against Florida's humidity (such as Emily's Elm). High quality insulation is one of the BIG benefits about living in a tiny home versus a conventional RV.
When choosing which insulation to use in your tiny home, the three key factors to consider are: 1) R-Value, 2) Loose Fill vs. Closed, 3) Environmental Impact.
1) R-Value
R-values represent the extent to which insulation resists heat flow; a higher R-value means more insulating value.
For example, in Alaska R-values for roofs should approximate R-38 to R-49; for walls, R-21; and for floors R-15 to R-19 (according to this source). It will be important for you to determine the amount of insulation you need for your particular location. You can learn more about recommended R-value per region by clicking here.
Halley's Tumbleweed with Rigid Foam Insulation
Types of Insulation and their R-values (per inch)
Rigid Foam: R5-7 per inch
Spray Foam: R6-7 per inch
Wool: R3.5-3.8 per inch
Cotton Batts: R3-4 per inch
Fiberglass Batts: R3-4 per inch
*For a list of types of insulation click here.
2) Loose Fill Vs. Closed
Evan & Gabby's Tiny House trailer with Wool Insulation
Some insulations are closed, which means that they create a vapor barrier or air seal and will provided extra strength within your walls. An example of closed insulation is spray foam, which is the typical insulation we use in our ready-made Houses-to-Go.
Other insulations are loose fill, such as wool insulation, cellulose insulation and even shredded recycled paper insulation. This means that the material is—you guessed it—loosely packed within your walls. These types of insulations are easy to install and can fit within tight, awkward spaces. Keep in mind that some types of loose fill insulations will require an additional vapor barrier.
3) Environmental Impact
Whenever you are building a home, whether it be a tiny home or a mansion, you have the option to choose greener materials. This choice depends on your own personal preference, but it is an important factor to weigh if you intend on installing the insulation yourself. Some insulations contain harmful fibers and will require a respirator when installing, such as fiberglass insulation.
Wool insulation is a natural and sustainable product; cotton denim insulation is made from non-toxic recycled materials. These materials will not require off-gassing and are consider green insulation alternatives.
Comment below on which type of insulation you would use in your tiny home!

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La, may be spared a contentious vote as the new chair of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources because of staff reorganization at the Interior Department.
The Greenwire reported Friday that Tommy Beaudreau is moving from director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to the chief of staff to Interior Secretary Sally Jewell. As a result, he is withdrawing his nomination to be the department's assistant secretary for policy, management and budget.
That's a post now held by Rhea Suh, the president's controversial nominee to become assistant secretary for fish and wildlife and parks. Louisiana Republicans, including her Senate opponent, Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge, have called for her nomination to be rejected because of her past statements raising environmental concerns about the fracking process to produce natural gas in western states.
Landrieu has said she'd schedule an Energy Committee vote on the nomination soon and told Greenwire she'd vote for the Suh in committee. But with a tough re-election race ahead, it's no doubt a vote she'd like to avoid.
That now seems a real possibility with the leadership switch at Interior, according to Greewire. Greenwire said it now appears Suh could keep her current post to avoid a confirmation vote.
Landrieu is scheduled to preside over her first hearing as Energy Department chair on Tuesday.

The South team has a quarterback that NFL teams wanted to see play another position at the Senior Bowl.
No, it's not Tim Tebow -- it's UAB's Joe Webb.
The standout athlete, who stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 220 pounds, has moved to receiver this week after a record-setting career with the Blazers.
"I took it as a challenge," Webb said when asked about making the move. "I'm always looking for a challenge. It's a great opportunity for me to come out here and show my skills at wideout."
The Senior Bowl kicks off Saturday at 3 p.m. at Ladd-Peebles Stadium and will be televised live by the NFL Network.
After the first day of practice Monday at Fairhope Municipal Stadium, it was hard to tell it has been more than two years since Webb ran routes. As a sophomore, he started nine games at receiver and caught 30 passes for 459 yards and three touchdowns.
"I thought it went well," Webb said of his first day back at receiver. "I've just got to get right back into it."
Webb then moved to quarterback full-time as a junior, throwing for 2,367 and rushing for 1,021 yards. A year later, he threw for 2,299 yards and 21 scores and rushed for another 1,427 yards and 11 touchdowns en route to being named Conference USA's Player of the Year by coaches.
With those totals, the Birmingham native became the first quarterback in NCAA history to throw for more than 2,000 yards and rush for more than 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons.
Webb said his success as a quarterback will help him in his transition.
"I know where the quarterback wants the receiver to be in different defenses and I have a clock in my head that says I need to hurry up and get open," Webb said. "It helps out a lot."
The South has six wideouts on its roster, which gives Webb plenty of chances to play catch-up from two years of rust.
"We got more than enough reps (Monday)," he said. "It's great. I'm looking forward to the rest of the week."
With his ability to play quarterback proven, Webb is more than happy to show he can do more on the football field and be valuable to a professional team at numerous spots.
"I think it helps," Webb said of playing two positions. "Teams look for people who can do more than one thing."
The one thing he wants to do this week is show that he is just as capable catching passes as he has been throwing them.
"I think I had a good day (Monday), but it could get better," Webb said. "It's just getting comfortable out there -- learning how to react at the receiver position. It's coming along very well and I'm just getting into it.
"I just want to take each day to get better. The more reps I get, the better I get."

Jeremy Irons Joins the Cast of Margin Call
Posted on Wednesday, July 7th, 2010 by Russ Fischer
The financial drama Margin Call, which started shooting a couple of weeks ago in New York City, has assembled quite the all-star cast. The latest addition to writer/director J.C. Chandor's picture is Jeremy Irons. What started off sounding like a so-so film that is being made quickly to jump in on the very topical financial crisis now has such line-up of talent that it could be impossible to ignore. Very curious to see a trailer, but for now we've just got the info on the whole cast breakdown. Read More »
