For the last eight years, Western PAC has been on the leading edge of Conservative grassroots politics. From the start, our mission has been to elect representatives who will work for the people of America, not the special interest lobbies of K and Wall Streets.
Our primary focus in this election cycle is on replacing Sen. John McCain (AZ) with a proven Conservative in Dr. Kelli Ward. As an Arizona State Representative, Dr. Ward proved over and over again that her focus was on her constituents, not lobbyists. On the contrary, McCain is well known in Washington DC circles as "the lobbyist's favorite Senator."
Your help will allow us to win and time is running short. Early voting in the Arizona Primary has already begun and our team is working hard to make this effort a success.

It may seem like a strange question but it is one that still tends to come up. Last week on a discussion thread, for example, someone was asking about how to demonstrate the return on investment (ROI) in analytics. That's a nice irony, I thought, considering analytics spends most of its time measuring the ROI of marketing investment. Isn't that ROI enough in itself? Apparently not, if the question is still being asked. So how do you measure the ROI of analytics?
As with all ROI calculations, we need to understand what the investment levels are and then what the returns are. In the case of analytics the investments are probably easier to work out, but it's necessary to calculate the "total cost of ownership" of the analytics capability of the business. These typically break down into three categories:
- Technology
- Services
- People
Technology costs are fairly self-evident and well understood. Most digital analytics technologies operate on some kind of subscription model, but other pricing models include licence costs with maintenance or renewal fees in subsequent years. The key aspect for understanding ROI is not just to look at the annual or first-year costs but to look at them over a period of time, perhaps the expected average over the next three years.
Most analytical technologies require some level of services around them, either from the technology vendor or from other service providers such as consultancies. The U.S. and the European markets have all seen recent consolidation of consulting businesses into larger entities, perhaps with the associated impact on prices, but there remain sufficient smaller, niche, or boutique players to provide a competitive market.
I think it's important to allocate sufficient investment in services/consulting around an analytics technology, particularly in the early days of its adoption. They are not necessarily the simplest of technologies and there may be a learning curve involved. It's false economy I believe to make the (often significant) investment in a technology and then not to invest in having it configured properly for your business or having your people skilled up on it properly. I've seen this a number of times over the years and there's no hope of realising a decent ROI from the technology if companies under-invest at this critical early stage. The same principle also applies to the next category of cost: people.
In my opinion, people are the most important investment that an organization can make in developing its analytics capability. There can be trade-offs between developing an in-house capability versus out-sourcing to an alternative provider, but at the end of the day it will be the quality of the people that will count. There is also a balance to be made between acquiring technologies and acquiring skills. Smart people can do a lot with relatively simple technologies or open-source systems but you need the smart people if you are buying in smart tools. Otherwise it's like buying a high-performance car and giving it to someone who's just passed their driving test. It's only going to be a matter of time before there's an accident.
So the investments in analytics can be assessed, but what about the returns? And importantly for any specific analytics investment, what is the marginal return for the marginal cost? I think assessing the returns can be quite a tough job and broadly they break down into two types: the direct benefits or returns and the indirect ones. I'll be looking into these in more detail next time.

AS HARBINGERS go, Adam Arcadia's first swing in the fourth inning against St. Joseph's Prep foretold of potential doom for the La Salle High rally.
After the Explorers tied the game with two outs, the senior designated hitter stepped in with a runner in scoring position and waved at an offspeed pitch with an overzealous bat.
Before he could unleash another wild cut, third-base coach John Reifsnyder called timeout and met Arcadia down the baseline.
"He just said that this is a big at-bat and the team needs me to come through with a hit, and I just have to focus and forget about that pitch," Arcadia said. "Just refocus and put a solid swing on it."

(Received 22 June 2001 / Accepted 3 August 2001 )
Near-Infrared echelle spectra of the Herbig-Haro knots F-P in the western lobe of the HH 111 outflow are presented. 10 adjacent, parallel slit positions were observed so that the kinematics could be mapped across the width of the flow. We find broad (FWZI km s-1), two-component H2 profiles in the knots nearest the source; the profiles converge to a single, intermediate-velocity peak ( km s-1) at knot P. The kinematic signature of the HH 111 jet in H2 is very similar to that seen at optical wavelengths (from both radial and tangential velocity meaurements). In conjunction with published proper-motion (knot/shock pattern speed) measurements, we interpret the data in terms of a simple geometrical bow shock model. The model infers a high pre-shock velocity, of the order of 200-250 km s-1, with H2 excitation in the extended bow wings in knots L, H and F, though exclusively near the bow head in knot P, with probably C-type shock excitation throughout.

Tucked into the morass of accounting fraud and tax increases that form the bulk of President Obama's 2014 budget proposal is an endorsement of "chained CPI," a new way of using the Consumer Price Index to calculate inflation. It's one of the few truly serious elements of Obama's otherwise delusional budget and its $744 billion deficit. (But that's only half the size of the last deficit, so it represents "fiscal discipline" and "deficit reduction," don't you know!)
There is a good deal of informed debate about the merits of chained CPI. It's a complicated concept, and experts disagree on what its precise effects would be. Peter Coy at Bloomberg Businessweek doesn't seem to care for the idea, but he does a good job of explaining how it would work, based on the CPI-U figure "widely reported by the media every month as 'inflation.'"
[CPI-U] is for all urban consumers, or about 88 percent of the population. It's the one the government uses to adjust income tax brackets so people don't get pushed into higher tax brackets by inflation.
Chained CPI is a flavor of CPI-U. The difference is that it takes into account shoppers' ability to change what they buy in order to take advantage of bargains and avoid items that have risen in price. It's called "chained" because the index is like a daisy chain in which the market basket of goods and services that are measured changes from month to month.
In other words, chained CPI tracks the actual behavior of consumers, unlike the current CPI-W metric, the general consumer price index for urban wage earners and clerical workers. Coy argues that even the relatively high CPI-U figure doesn't accurately reflect the inflation experienced by Social Security recipients because they spend so much money on health care, which has a much higher rate of inflation.
A shift to chained CPI would also change the way tax brackets and deductions are adjusted for inflation, resulting in a substantial tax increase for the middle class. Of the $340 billion in deficit reduction from chained CPI anticipated by the Congressional Budget Office, "$127 billion would come from savings on Social Security, about $89 billion from savings on other spending, and about $124 billion from additional tax revenue from people moving into higher tax brackets."
There are constant arguments about the best way to measure inflation. Some contend that revisions to the official measuring system over the past few decades have been designed to conceal inflation, because it angers the public. As can be seen from this discussion of chained CPI, the assessment of inflation has profound implications for government programs designed around the true cost of living. The value of the dollar bills pouring out of Uncle Sam's bottomless printing press must be carefully assessed.
But if chained CPI more accurately reflects the way consumers actually behave, isn't it worth considering a shift to that metric - accompanied by other changes designed to prevent it from becoming a stealth tax increase? Even with due allowance for the complexity and uncertainty of our immense economy, we're constantly presented with deceptive data, our perceptions manipulated by figures that have meaning far different from what their names imply. For another example, look at the difference between nominal and effective tax rates. Liberals occasionally wax nostalgic for the high tax rates of yesteryear, without accounting for the massive exemptions that left only a small share of income vulnerable to the highest rates.
As for the higher inflation rate experienced by the elderly due to their heavy consumption of medical goods and services: we already have separate programs for that. Social Security is not a medical plan. In the interests of clarity, doesn't it make more sense to deal with the health care costs incurred by older Americans through the gigantic (and, sadly, equally insolvent) programs designed to cover their medical needs?
Instead of chained CPI, Coy quotes the preferred Social Security reform of Brookings Institution senior fellow Henry Aaron: "The way to do it is to selectively reduce benefits for those with comparatively high average earnings, and the reason for that approach is that most of the gains in life expectancy have been accruing to those with relatively high earnings."
Sure, let's screw over the Evil Rich with more class-war confiscation. And here we've been told for generations that Social Security is an "account" that we "own," because we funded it with our money over the course of a working life! But no, it's just another welfare program, as ill-managed as the rest of them. Too bad we weren't given the option of investing all that money in private accounts that we really would "own." Then the system wouldn't collapse because increased life expectancy was reducing the number of active workers supporting each retiree.
There's not much illumination to be found in the shrieks of lightweight Democrats gasping over Obama's inclusion of chained CPI in his budget plan. Quotes from Politico:
"It was a bad idea then and it is a bad idea now," Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) said. "We should not be negotiating with those who want to take Social Security benefits hostage and seniors shouldn't be a bargaining chip. It's time that the Republicans agree to raise revenues that put people back to work in good-paying jobs without demanding cuts to Medicare and Social Security in exchange."
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) blasted the inclusion of chained CPI, saying that Social Security hasn't contributed to the deficit and shouldn't be included in deficit talks.
"While I commend the president for including some smart provisions in his budget like investments in infrastructure and the Buffett Rule for tax fairness, I cannot support a proposal that would force seniors to pay for deficits Social Security had no part in creating," Whitehouse said in a statement.
Social Security is a mountain of insolvency that dwarfs the existing national debt by a thousand percent. The people "taking hostages" are the ones who want to preserve the current doomed system long enough to finish their endless Congressional terms and escape to enjoy their sweet government benefits. And just savor the cosmic idiocy of exhorting Republicans to "agree to raise revenues that put people back to work in good paying jobs." Confiscating money from the private sector to fuel irresponsible government spending is what kills jobs, Rep. Schakowsky; your man Barack Obama has been proving that for years on end.
I hate to interrupt Senator Whitehouse's party boilerplate with cold hard facts, but Social Security did run a deficit of $47.8 billion last year, $47.9 billion the year before that, and $36.8 billion in 2010. This was, in part, due to the raid on funding staged by Barack Obama's "payroll tax cut" gimmick, which he used to pump up consumer spending and conceal just how weak his economy really is, until he could secure re-election. Those are small deficits by Washington standards, easily covered with a bit of discreet paper-shuffling, but no one will be able to hide the H-bomb of liability that will soon detonate in our faces.
In the bigger picture, Social Security has contributed to our government spending crisis ever since politicians started using paper shuffles to swap out entitlement dollars for I.O.U.s Tricky accounting has allowed the political class to hide the true insolvency of the mega-State behind that huge pile of Social Security "contributions." If they had not been allowed to get away with this this, the public might have understood the folly of Big Government in time to prevent it from accumulating the level of debt we have grown accustomed to.
To fix any of this, we need clarity. The debate about chained CPI should focus on its accuracy. Of course, good ideas can be implemented badly, so implementation is a separate but equally important discussion. But whatever our government does, it should be based on the most honest and realistic metrics we can find, because we've been fed a steady diet of illusions for far too long.

Here is evidence Hamas has been arming from Iran.Quoting: --Voltaic--
They openly admit to assembling an M75 from Iran. Being a missile of such class puts Iran on the spot light.
If Iran gave, sold or deployed these missiles...what else are they getting from Iran?
Iran knows Israel is going to attack. It would make sense for Iran to stock pile heavy weapons on/in Israel.
My prediction is this......Iran has smuggled nuclear weapons into and around Israel. Dozens of small nukes easy to hide.
BUT, the country that detonates nukes first is going to get heat from the rest of the world.
So Iran is ready, just waiting on Israel to use bunker busting nukes.
Once the nuclear demon is released, all the nukes in Israel go off.

Gymnemic acid
Gymnemic acids are glycosides isolated from the leaves of Gymnema sylvestre (Asclepiadaceae). Gymnemic acids like ziziphin and hodulcine are anti-sweet compounds, or sweetness inhibitors. After chewing the leaves, solutions sweetened with sucrose taste like water.
Gymnemic acid [1]? itself is C43H66O14[1] (it has a 5 ring core with an attached sugar).
The simplest is gymnemagenin, C30H50O6.[2] The other members have variations at up to four sites around the 5 ring core.[3]
More than 20 homologues of gymnemic acid are found in the leaves.[4] Gymnemic acid 1 has the highest anti-sweet properties. It suppresses the sweetness of most of the sweeteners including intense artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and natural sweeteners such as thaumatin, a sweet protein. The anti-sweet activity is reversible, but sweetness recovery on the tongue can take more than 10 minutes.[5]

The condom broke on us on the 17th day of my cycle (which is usually about 26 days) and took the pill approximately one hour after it happened. I checked the box to see if the timing of a woman's cycle is also a factor of its effectiveness, but I didn't find much info about it. The clues I got were "It may interfere with fertilization of an egg, and it may prevent implantation of a fertilized egg". The word "may" does not ease my stress and fear, and it worries me that the box, along with the website, chooses to be silent on this statistic... Any help is appreciated.
What is the effectiveness of Plan B One-Step after ovulation?

Responses (1)
Um, since I received GREAT support on this issue, I thought I should follow up on it. I got my period about 2 days later than I should, but I'm not complaining. If there was something I learned about Plan B it's that 1) This product worked (when taken properly!) and 2) It can be taken at ANY time of the cycle.

overbought on the dividend
27 April 2012 Privet UPDATE Wanted to provide a quick update on the heels of this morning's patent monetization announcement. The $75mm patent sale to Intel was a great outcome. The bulk – if not all – of the cash flow will be tax-free based upon the Company's DTA. Furthermore, it appears the IP sold to Intel is wholly unrelated to Aware's operating businesses. In any event, the Company continues to retain IP we believe has value that is capable of being monetized; this view is supported by Aware's statement this morning that it continues "to pursue patent monetization alternatives for certain other patents remaining in our patent portfolio." Of course, the potential patent litigation value related to Hybrid Audio also remains. Pro-forma for the patent sale and option exercise Aware will hold ~$136.3mm of cash. Assuming yesterday's EV of $30mm – which represents roughly 6.5x consolidated EBITDA and ignores ~$12mm of real estate value – the shares should trade for $7.12, inclusive of dilution accruing from 2.8mm options. The initial cash dividend announced today of $24mm (record date of May 11, 2012) will leave the Company with $25mm cash prior to closing the patent transaction. With the additional $75mm of cash accruing from the patent transaction closing this summer or early fall, we would expect another significant dividend in a few months.

FDA has approved Amylin Pharmaceuticals and Eli Lilly's Byetta® for use as a monotherapy along with diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Additionally, the agency has updated Byetta prescribing information to include pancreatitis-related language in the warnings and precautions section.
Byetta was previously sanctioned for patients who were also taking other common diabetes medications and had not achieved adequate glycemic control. The new label also expands upon existing language regarding use of Byetta in patients with renal impairment.
The approval of Byetta as a monotherapy was based on a clinical study of patients who were unable to achieve glycemic control through diet and exercise alone. The study showed that 5 mcg or 10 mcg of Byetta reduced patients' A1C, a measure of average blood sugar over three months, by 0.7 percentage points and 0.9 percentage points, respectively. Patients also lost 6.0 pounds and 6.4 pounds, respectively.
Lilly and Amylin each get 50% of Byetta's gross margin in the U.S., and Lilly gets 100% of sales outside the U.S. Byetta has pulled in $592.8 million through worldwide sales during the first three quarters of this year. In the third quarter alone worldwide sales reached $205.7 million, a 2% increase compared with last year's third quarter. U.S. sales of Byetta, however, declined 5% to $171.1 million compared with the same time period last year.

Like many stay-at-home moms and work-from-home people, I rarely have a reason to dress up. (And by "dress up" I mean wear something other than shorts and a T-shirt in the summer or a turtleneck and comfy slacks in the winter.)
But if I did have to dress up because my life involved, say, working in an office, or making TV appearances or, let's really dream, going on dinner dates with George Clooney or (as a younger me) Twilight's Robert Pattinson, I'd stock my wardrobe with some dresses from ShabbyApple.com. What's cool about ShabbyApple:
- 95% of the dresses cost less than $100
- All are machine washable (and should be line dried)
- The dresses are sized for real women (and the website has a function that helps a woman figure out which designs are suitable for her body shape)
- The dresses are one-piece, easy-to-wear and you needn't add anything (like tank tops, sweaters, belts, etc.)
5% of the company's net profits are donated to other female entrepreneurs
Here's my dress select for the current me: Bon Voyage, $78 (left)
And my maternity select (if Shabby Apple had been around when I was pregnant): Odyssey, $76 (right)
I often think it would be nice if wearing a dress wasn't always about dressing up. While I surely wouldn't want to go back to the era of the archetype 1950s housewife or "career girl," in pictures from that time women seemed to dress much nicer than we do today, and they typically wore skirts or dresses.
One of the many benefits of being born female is that we can wear dresses or pants. It's odd that, as women, our default wardrobe has become pants. While pants are absolutely the better choice in cold weather and for strenuous activities, it does require pairing with a top, and perhaps a belt.
Being able to toss on a ready-to-go, one-piece dress like those from Shabby Apple is often easier and more forgiving to our frequently shape-sifting bodies. (Independent of changes from pregnancy, we all have pants that sometimes fits and sometimes are way too snug in the thighs, hips or waist.)
Some of my stay-at-home friends dress quite nicely, in trendy tops and jeans or sleek workout pants. Once in a while, in the heat of the summer, someone will appear in a cute sun-dress or skirt. I do have a stay-at-home mom/work-from-home mom friend who routinely wears office-worthy skirts and dresses. She says looking nice and dressing well helps her feel good and stay energized. I can see how that's possible. Fortunately for this particular pal, she has an essentially full-time nanny (i.e. less exposure to sticky little fingers and baby spit-up), and she has the money to buy nice clothes and pay the requisite dry cleaning bills.
Are you a well-dressed stay-at-home or work-from-home mom? Or a "Well, at least I was able to get out of my pajamas and get dressed today" mom! (Don't worry if you're the latter. We all have days like that.)

Reviews for One Laptop Per Child Association Inc
1 person found this review helpful
One Laptop per Child (OLPC) seems to be one initiative in education that can transform the way a child learns more than nearly all educational innovations of the past century together. Sounds like a tall claim? Just check out Khairat school near Mumbai and Keekerwali in Shriganganagar, Rajasthan. Its an spiritual experience for those who want to see children discover themselves.
As OLPC says, children are born genius and society works hard to dumb them down. OLPC laptops help them discover the genius within.
What a great organization like Pratham may achieve in a decade, OLPC can help achieve less than in a year. Just try it out.
If one had to look at the ROI on education, ROI from a Rs 15000 investment in OLPC laptops will top nearly any investments anyone can make anywhere.
If you want to see the smile on a child's face for ever, try out OLPC laptops for every child in your school. If in doubt, check out Uruguay where EVERY SINGLE child learns with OLPC.
Ask Sandeep Surve of Khairat or Dr Veena Sethi of Udaan what they see in OLPC. And take the message to as many people as you can take it to.
Most of all take it to Kapil Sibal and every chief minister of various states in India. Ask them not to stand in the way of the future of the underprivileged Indian children.
Let them know that every child in India is as good as the best anywhere. Its the state policies and the education system that force them to forego their future and live an existence that would have been shameful a century ago.
Ask them to help children learn learning and make India a great country that it can become if all its children get the right education.
Right to education is meaningless with Right Education. Ask them to embrace OLPC.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I will create a corpus of $10 million for OLPC India foundation and appoint a State Coordinator for each state along with an office, an assistant, a 1000 student demonstration in each state, a monitoring and evaluation cell and an advocacy group. $5 million spent annually on advocacy of OLPC India can change India faster and better than anything else can.

how to install software on ubuntu linux
ive been a windows person for a while now and im thinking of switching to ubuntu fully. i recently installed ubuntu 10.04 and even downloaded some softwares to run on it but ive been having difficulty doing that. please i'll like assistance on how to install ubuntu software directly from my harddisk rather than ubuntu's package manager.i'll really appreciate all the help i can get
Re: how to install software on ubuntu linux
Ubuntu is a debian(not rpm like red-hat) based system and it supports .deb setup files...
First way via .deb files :-
You can think of Debian files just a alternate of .msi files on windows.
1. Just fire up your file browser
2. Double click on the file.deb
and It'll start installing..
The other way :-
When you want to install some opensource softwares and they dont have a debian file... (Install from source)
Installing from source is not difficult either..
It just needs some patience and some tolerance for the errors..
1 . un-tar the source archive
2. cd to root of the archive
3. Check the redme file..(Will mostly contain installation instructions and pre-requisites)
4. Make (mostly using 'make INSTALL' or 'make MAKEFILE')
5. after the links and every thing is set from the previous commands
6. Issue 'make install'
This method will be irritating and unwilling sometimes but gives a lot more satisfaction..
Re: how to install software on ubuntu linux
hey dude , u can install software in linux easy way
there are 2 ways
1. using terminal
2. double click process in /opt
Using terminal:
if u already connected in the internet u will use terminal..these will be very easy
using terminal, u have comand of that software... which is unique

S&W Mod 27 3 1/2" barrel rebore

> S&W Mod 27 3 1/2" barrel rebore
Doug DeGraves
January 18, 2012, 10:15 PM
Greetings all, I need some expert advice. I have a S&W Mod 27 3 1/2" barrel, the bad news is that it has a goose egg in it. Is there enough metal there in that short of a barrel to convert it to 41 Mag? 44?

By saying goose egg are you suggesting it has a bulge?
January 19, 2012, 05:41 PM
That was the impression I got.
My personal feeling is, if so, the barrel has already been pushed beyond the yield strength of the steel.
So I would not push it any further with a thinner wall .41 Mag, or thinner still .44 Mag re-bore.
Mac's Precision
January 19, 2012, 06:03 PM
Yep Rc...that is where I was going with that. If it is compromised, it will just like a bulged shotgun barrel, eventually get worse and rupture. Amplifying the matter with a larger caliber would only speed up the poor outcome.
Secondarily, If memory serves the short barrel 27 is already pretty darn thin at the muzzle. If bored to a larger caliber I would think it would be like a gasket cutter at the muzzle. I don't think there is adequate meat there to complete such a thing.
As it stands, I'd say seek and find a replacement barrel and install / set back as needed to return it to .357 Magnum. I think this is the only cost effective option.
January 19, 2012, 06:06 PM
rebarrel would be the best way to deal with this, finding a 31/2 inch 27 barrel will be no easy chore i have been looking for one for years! finaly just broke down and got the whole gun! good luck
Doug DeGraves
January 20, 2012, 08:55 AM
Thank you for the advice! Just lately I've been trying to read up (and listening) on such matters and I'm getting mixed information. Some say the bulge is no big deal if it's not to bad, keep shooting it. Others say it will affect accuracy, while others say it's a safety issue. I probably should have initially given a better discription of the problem. The barrel shows no external signs of a bulge but slugging bullet reveals the loose spot in the middle then back to tight toward the muzzle. I guess my real question should have been, "what can I do with a bulged 3 1/2 Mod 27 barrel." I've not see too many 3 1/2 27s of late and they have been too expensive and too nice to modify. What I'm sort of after is a 3 1/2 27 with a round butt. I like the look of the snake barrel. I was hoping the barrel I have could be salvaged, assuming I could find a 28 to put it on. I guess a pencil holder is one use for it.

Is it an accuracy issue or not?
Only you can tell that by shooting it.
If it hasn't affected accuracy so's you can notice?
Shoot it!
I just would not recommend boring it out for a bigger Magnum caliber.

January 20, 2012, 12:56 PM
As well as the barrel, you would have to find, fit and time a cylinder.
January 21, 2012, 04:58 AM
If it shoots OK I would just ignore the issue as it will cost more than its worth to fix it.

What is the range of years that the 3 1/2" Mod 27 manufactured? How many were made?
Here's an odd question, has any one seen an N frame Smith that the frame is case hardened? I'm curious on how it would look.
January 21, 2012, 03:18 PM
S&W made a bunch of "Heritage" Series a few years ago with Doug Turnbull color-case frames.
First time in history a S&W ever had a color-case frame though so they didn't sell very well to true S&W aficionado's.

First of all, I would follow previous advise and shoot it to see if the bulge causes any serious accuracy problems. It may well not.
A new barrel would be a far better solution the a liner, but keep in mind you can have it lined to a .358"/16" to 1 twist, and leave it a .357 Magnum. I would then shoot it with .38 Special cases, with a 158 grain bullet crimped in the groove rather then over a shoulder at about 1000FPS out of the short 3 1/2" barrel.
January 21, 2012, 06:43 PM
i got a 6 inch bbl for a 28 for sale that will fit.you can shorten it
Doug DeGraves
January 21, 2012, 08:10 PM
RC, thanks for the links. I'm not sure I like the way case hardening looks on that much real estate, but it is interesting. What I have in mind is more of a personal artifact that shoots. Maybe if I had some nice stag grips that had similar coverage as pacmeyer round but grips, but the hammer and trigger would have to have a different finish on them too.

Can't go wrong with engraving on a blue gun if you got the money to do it!
Doug DeGraves
January 22, 2012, 07:03 PM
I should have done this at the start...I compared this Mod 27 barrel to that of my 624 3" and I was very surprized by what I found. The outside dimensions of the barrels were the SAME! I too figured I would have a gasket cutter if the 27 bbl was bored out. I will post a photo when I can.
So the first order of business is finding a suitable candidate to mount this on, then looking at the options.
January 26, 2012, 03:17 PM
Send it S&W to see what they have in stock let them do the replacement bbl.
Doug DeGraves
January 29, 2012, 02:24 PM
Next question: let's say if find a decent Mod 28 to put this barrel on, and I want to convert it to a differant caliber. Is one caliber more expensive to rebore than another? The choices are 38-40, 41, 44 Spl and 45 ACP. Thoughts?
Old Fuff
January 29, 2012, 04:27 PM
I would think that the cost would be identical, regardless of which bore size you picked. I know of no good reason this wouldn't be so.
A model 28 barrel will not have the checkering seen on the top of the rib, nor the high polish blue. This of course is a matter of cosmetics and it may not matter to you.
I see no reason not to rebore the original barrel, as apparently the bulge isn't deep and would be removed in the reboreing process.
I would forget about the .38-40 as ammunition is dificult to find and expensive. .45 ACP requires half or full moon clips, and might require a new cylinder. .41 Magnum and .44 Special should work with no problems.
January 30, 2012, 04:19 PM
The outside dimensions of the barrels were the SAME!
Bingo! Model 28's and 27's are somewhat popular for conversion to .38-40, .41Mag, .44Spl, .45ACP and .45Colt. Rebore will cost the same regardless of end result. Typically around $150. A rechamber about the same. One must keep in mind that .357 cylinders are shorter than their .41Mag, .44Mag and .45Colt counterparts and this can limit your bullet selection, depending on which chambering you choose. The .38-40 is certainly a viable choice. You'll need to handload for any of them to be economical to shoot, which makes the .38-40 no different. S&W never built the lovely N-frame .38-40 in any great numbers and hasn't offered it in many years so it will definitely be different. Though they did produce the model 544 Wagon Train commemorative .44-40 back in the `80's if I remember right. Which by all reports was a fantastic shooter. Neither is a difficult cartridge to handload for but they do require lubing cases.
Doug DeGraves
April 5, 2012, 09:04 AM
I've been thinking (always dangerous) about making this thing as unique as possible so I've been drifting toward 38-40 but since I don't have candidate yet everything is up in the air. The new question is can this 1964 barrel be used on an old triple lock? What about a mordern cylinder? Would the original triple lock crane (yoke?) have to be used or could the modern crane (yoke?) be modified to triple lock specs? The end result would be a pinned and recessed 3 1/2 inch snake BBL round butt triple lock in 38-40 with adjustable sights. Thoughts? Not breaking the bank is a factor too. Would this drastically increase the gunsmithing costs? After visiting a gun show I found the prices astounding. I did find a poor old triple lock in 45 AR in dire need of some TLC for less $ than any of the 28s I saw (I didn't see many).
April 5, 2012, 06:46 PM
As well as the barrel, you would have to find, fit and time a cylinder.
WHY? There is nothing wrong with the cylinder.
Doug DeGraves
April 7, 2012, 01:06 PM
Remember, all I have at this point is a loose 1964 vintage 3 1/3 inch barrel from a S&W Model 27, with slight bulge in it. I'd like to use it for some thing interesting as a like the look of the short snake barrel. The buldge does not appear on the outside.
Also I can't figure out how to post a photo.
Doug DeGraves
April 8, 2012, 06:57 PM
FYI, i have it on good authority that there is no practical or cost effective way to mate modern parts to an old triple lock. So back to the original plan, finding a suitable (one I can afford) 27 or 28 to put this barrel on. and now I'm in no hurry.
Doug DeGraves
April 10, 2012, 09:16 AM
So what can be done for this Triple Lock I ran across? It has a relatively low serial number (under 1000) assuming all the Triple Locks were numbered sequentially. It has British proof marks on the cylinder by every flute. I didn't see any other proof marks on it. Since it's not in its original condition, barrel cut down and awful rifle sight added, probably rechambered, and also in disrepair due to missing parts (ejector rod end and soem springs), what are your recommendations concerning this piece? I figure most of the collector value is already gone due to the changes made way back when. Is that not correct? My thought would be to get it in good working order first, if possible. Thoughts? Why shouldn't it be made into something more interesting. It's just plumb ugly now....

In 2013 the world was devastated by an apocalyptic event, annihilating almost all mankind and turning the earth's surface into a poisonous wasteland. A handful of survivors took refuge in the depths of the Moscow underground, and human civilization entered a new Dark Age.
A splendid game with stunning elements and captivating storyline.
The atmosphere is delightfully thick and powerful with heavy design to back it all up.
Sadly, the very restrictive gameplay progression, narrative direction, weak audio aspects, low replay value and arcade like game mechanics are drawbacks that cannot be ignored.
Absolutely carp-your-pants scary, especially on hardcore! Don't play it at 3am when you're all alone, it's stormy outside and you've watched various horror films! You have been warned, now venture deep into the mutated heart of the haunted underground...
One of best games I've ever played great storyline, great atmosphere and one thing I like the most is the moral points. Excellent game I will definitely buy Metro Last Light when it comes out
Only if it would support modding.
Russians make the best survival games
I'm a big fan of Fallout series but Metro 2033 is ,well just better in every aspect except that Fallout is a sandbox game and Metro 2033 is not. I'm not saying that the sandbow games are better just it would fit perfectly to the game. FEAR THE FUTURE!!!
If I could rate the book then I would rate it with 10/10, too. Both, the book and the game, create an unbelievable atmosphere in the course of the story.
The textures are sharp, the light-effects are nice, the voices are lovely and the music as well. There is so many love in this game, many details and things you miss when you play it just once. This, and the alternate ending, makes it worth to play the game more than once. This is why I give Metro 2033 10 out of 10 points.
Very awesome! Lack of some ATI support at times with the physx. Great though!

Lexmark Again Increases Bid for ReadSoft
Tech Company Is in Bidding War With Hyland Software for Swedish Software Maker
Lexmark International Inc. LXK 2.99 % once again increased its offer for Swedish software maker ReadSoft AB as its bidding war with Hyland Software U.K. continues.
Lexmark raised its bid to 55.50 Swedish kronor ($8.07) a share from July's bid of 50 kronor. The move comes as a response to Hyland's increased offer Monday of 55 kronor a share.
Lexmark had offered 40.50 kronor in May, and Hyland followed with a 42.86 kronor offer in June.
Net of ReadSoft's cash on hand, the new Lexmark proposal is pegged at about $248 million, the company said Tuesday. Lexmark's prior offer was about $224 million.
ReadSoft, which helps businesses simplify and automate their processes, confirmed the company had received Lexmark's raised offer and said the company is "grateful and happy to have this situation with two very professional, very series bidders."
A representative for Hyland wasn't immediately available.
Lexmark, which said it owns 5.3% of ReadSoft's shares, said the tender offer is still slated to begin Aug. 7 and run to Aug. 28. Settlement is expected to happen Sept. 4, the company said.
Lexmark is looking to fold ReadSoft—which made about $117 million in revenue last year—into its Perceptive Software business, adding to its position as a provider of data capture software solutions for back-office processes.

The 1999 AFC Champions haven't held a 15th reunion yet. When they do, two members of the team will be missing and mourned.
Steve McNair was murdered on July 4, 2009.
Now we've learned that running back Rodney Thomas, Eddie George's backup, passed away.
Thomas was a third-round pick of the Houston Oilers in 1995 and ran for a team-best 947 yards and five touchdowns on 251 carries. Houston drafted George the next season and Thomas was a quality role-player and second back for five more years with the team. He was regularly the third-leading rusher behind George and McNair. In 1997 and 1998, Thomas averaged over 4 yards a carry.
Thomas played in 14 games for the Atlanta Falcons in 2001 before his career ended.
"I was shocked and saddened by the news of the passing of Rodney Thomas," former Texas A&M coach R.C. Slocum said in a statement released by the school, via The Tennessean.
"He was a great football player, but more importantly, he was one of the finest young men that I have ever met. He was so kind, considerate and unselfish. He impacted all that met him in a positive way. Our prayers go out to his family and friends. Aggieland lost one of its brightest stars today."
I thought Thomas was a really nice guy, a pro who embraced his role as backup and special teamer.
He was only 41. McNair would be 40.
It's incredibly sad that they are both gone and not around to enjoy their second acts.
"He was a great teammate," said Frank Wycheck, the former Oilets-Titans tight end who is now the analyst on the team's radio broadcasts. "He was unselfish when Eddie was drafted and he took a back seat. He played special teams. He was a great man. I loved him."

To many people, "geek" and "nerd" are synonyms, but in fact they are a little different.
A great little statistic for measuring how much company two words tend to keep is pointwise mutual information (PMI). It's commonly used in the information retrieval literature to measure the cooccurrence of words and phrases in text, and it also turns out to be a good predictor of how humans evaluate semantic word similarity (Recchia & Jones, 2009) and topic model quality (Newman & al., 2010).
For two words w and v, the PMI is given by:
where in this case is the probability of the word(s) in question appearing in a random tweet, as estimated from the data. For instance, if we let v = "geek," we compute the log-probability of a word w in the "geek" search corpus, and subtract the log-probability of w in the background corpus.
If you ever wondered what the difference between a "Geek" and a "Nerd" was, this should settle it once and for all … or not.

The world of MotoGP is fraught with conflict at the moment, with one of the key issues being Honda'sresistance to many of Dorna's rule changes.
Partly due to their battle with the Spanish media giant, Honda has announced a mouth-watering road-legal version of their MotoGP bike.
This may act as a warning to Dorna and act as Honda's failsafe should things deteriorate too rapidly between the two companies.
If Honda were to leave, following Kawasaki and Suzuki out of the premiere motorbike competition, it would leave only two OEM manufacturers - Ducati and Yamaha.
Considering the success of Honda HRC riders Dani Pedrosa and Casey Stoner last year, it would be a great loss for the sport.
The Bike
Honda's recent success in MotoGP - finishing second and third in the overall standings - demonstrates the power of the bike, power that will soon be in the hands of road users.
The RC213V will be produced to allow Honda to enter the World Superbike championships, a competition that requires a certain number of bikes to be sold beforehand.
125 bikes have to be produced and put up for sale before the bike can be entered and 2,000 by the end of the second year - this represents a significant risk from the Japanese company.
Estimates place the equipment at around one million dollars per bike but Honda estimate the cost to the consumer as closer to $100,000 (£62,000)a more manageable but hardly insignificant price.
Despite this Honda is confident that the bike will sell and believe that the power, quality and uniqueness of the finished bike will make the mooted price tag seem a bargain.
The bike will likely lose the pneumatic valves, $500,000 seamless gear box and other racing essentials, but will remain unchanged mechanically.
In a recent interview with CMG, Dave Hancock, head of product planning and business development with Honda Europe discussed how the idea originally occurred.
He was talking to Yosuke Hasegawa, head of the V4 project, about what they could do to generate the excitement some of their old bikes, such as the RC30 and RC51 had produced.
Hancock joked that they should "take the RC213V (MotoGP bike) and put a number plate on it", an idea the company appear to be running with.
Along with the sheer cost of production, the key issue of the WSB ownership could prove a stumbling block for the move.
Dorna's recent purchase of the WSB license has left them in charge of both major franchises and could potentially damage HRC's attempt at bluffing Dorna into introducing less controversial rule changes.
However at the moment Honda seem to going ahead with the plan. Bikers eager to get their hands on this bike but unsure of the price should think of it as an investment - a product that will only become more valuable with age.
The bike is still in the blueprint stage, and is not expected to be released until 2014. We here at MotorbikeTimes are already counting down the days until we can see it in action.
