The first detailed Iranian account of the diplomatic struggle between Iran and the international community, The Iranian Nuclear Crisis: A Memoir begins in 2002, when news about Iran's clandestine uranium enrichment and plutonium production facilities emerged, and takes the reader into Tehran's deliberations as its leaders wrestle with internal and external adversaries.
Seyed Hossein Mousavian, previously the head of the Foreign Relations Committee of Iran's Supreme National Security Council and spokesman for Tehran's nuclear negotiating team, provides readers with intimate knowledge of Iran's interactions with the International Atomic Energy Agency and global powers.
Mousavian's personal story comes alive as he vividly recounts his arrest in 2007 on charges of espionage. This and other dramatic episodes of diplomatic missions tell much about the author and the swirling dynamics of Iranian politics and diplomacy—undercurrents that must be understood now more than ever.
As intense debate continues over the direction of Iran's nuclear program, Mousavian weighs the likely effects of military strikes, covert action, sanctions, and diplomatic engagement, along with their potential to resolve the nuclear crisis.
"A fascinating, insightful, and new treatment from the perspective of an intimately involved former Iranian senior official on Iran's nuclear program and responses to it. For those familiar with the details, there is much new information about the Iran side, its ideas, strategies, disputes, and aims. U.S. experts will have some key questions but will learn much from this extraordinary book."
—Thomas R. Pickering, former U.S. under secretary of state
"…remarkable new book…"
—David Ignatius, Washington Post
"…a fascinating insider's account…"
—Philip Stephens, Financial Times

The Bruins are coming off a closer than expected 30-point victory over Cal State San Bernardino last week. It was closer than expected because the Bruins were up by only three at the half.
San Marcos is coming in off a very competitive 15-point loss at San Diego State last week, and the Cougars present a greater potential challenge to the Bruins than did NCAA Division II San Berdoo. Head coach Jim Saia's Cougars have three players, in particular, who could cause the Bruins issues when the Cougars have the ball: seniors Jason Johnson (6'3 203 lbs.), former Loyola Marymount player Quincy Lawson (6'6" 190 lbs.) and former Bruin De'End Parker (6'6" 215 lbs.). All three proved against the Aztecs that they could carry the Cougars even against good NCAA Division I competition.
One of the biggest question marks surrounding the Bruins coming into the season was (and is) how the Bruins would fare defensively. A concern coming out of the San Bernardino exhibition was UCLA's inability to consistently close out shooters. Against the Cougars that could prove troublesome. Parker and Johnson combined to go 8-14 from behind the arc against the Aztecs.
There will probably be added motivation for the Cougars because of the UCLA connection between the two programs. Saia is a former UCLA assistant coach from the Steve Lavin era, while Parker was on the Bruin roster two seasons ago. Parker, in particular, may be highly motivated in this one as his time in Westwood was reportedly an unhappy one. And we'd have to think Saia would be just as motivated.
The one area that UCLA should have a decided advantage is on the glass. Greg Hicks wrote after the San Bernardino game and after viewing a UCLA practice that the Bruins would have some questions regarding the team's ability to successfully rebound the ball. Because San Marcos is quite small, with only one player on the roster listed at 6'8" and one at 6'7", the expectation is that UCLA will dominate the glass. One of the questions we wrote about in the San Bernardino preview was whether or not Tony Parker had improved enough to be an inside force. The reality is that he struggled against CSUSB and the Bruins will more than likely struggle if that's the case for the season. Parker needs to be a defensive presence and impact the boards. This is especially true right now since the Bruins will be without both Travis Wear and Wannah Bail for the foreseeable future.
Another question had to do with Kyle Anderson and whether Alford could properly take advantage of the match-up issues that Anderson presents opposing teams. Anderson is clearly the point guard when the Bruins have the ball but, even in Alford's motion offense, playing the point takes Anderson, arguably UCLA's best rebounder, away from the rim. It will be interesting to see if Alford tries to get Anderson closer to the basket in order to take advantage of his natural ability on the boards.
While the questions of team defense and rebounding will more than likely continue for the next few weeks, there were some questions that appeared to be answered coming out of the San Bernardino game. A glaring question was the health of Jordan Adams after last spring's foot injury. Adams looked good in scoring 25 points, and while he may not yet be in full game shape, he is clearly UCLA's first option on offense. He showed in the first exhibition that he is ready to for that role.
Norman Powell appeared to flourish in Alford less restrictive motion offense. Powell showed an ability to not only get to the rim, but also be aggressive in looking for his opportunities to do so. That added confidence showed in his outside shooting, as well, as Powell looked far more comfortable in his decision-making.
True freshman Zach LaVine looks poised to be an impact player for the Bruins. He is clearly one of UCLA's best athletes, if not the best, and he displayed a great deal of confidence in using that athleticism against San Bernardino. LaVine isn't a savior-type of player, but he probably does have the most upside of anyone on the roster, and that ability and confidence is something UCLA will surely need to develop in the coming months.
Noah Allen, the other freshman, contributed 5 points and a rebound in 14 minutes against San Bernardino. Allen might not see that much playing time throughout the season, but Alford and the Bruins could really use some production from Allen in the short-term, as the Bruins wait for the return of Travis Wear and Bail.
While no exhibition game is truly important except for allowing a team to gel, the reality is that this game may be a good indicator of things to come early in the season. The Bruins will be facing a motivated team in San Marcos that is used to playing together. Further, as results from around the nation have shown, these exhibition games can be taxing on the proverbial "name" program. Besides the aforementioned close loss to the Aztecs by San Marcos, Arizona State and UNLV have both lost exhibition games and Steve Lavin's St. John's – in pure Steve Lavin style -- came very close to doing the same.
The expectation for the Bruins should be that they continue to grow as a team, both in getting used to playing together and getting used to Alford's offensive and defensive tactics. It bears watching if Alford continues to employ a zone defense even against a smaller team that relies on outside shooting. The Bruins appear better suited to play more zone than man-to-man as they have good team length but below average athleticism. The Cougars will provide good practice for the Bruins before they face a similar Drexel team in their opener on Friday. Drexel isn't very big, likes to push the ball and over 1/3 of the Dragons' shots come from behind the arc. The game against the Cougars should give Bruin fans some idea of what to expect when UCLA takes the floor on Friday in the opening game of the 2013-2014 season.

My 9 year old is just recovering from a bad bout of croup, which my 5 year old has just picked up and is suffering from at the minute. My 9 yo has always been prone to croup (as I was, even hospitalized with it as a baby), but I thought he would have grown out of it by now. But this time seems to have been just as bad as ever. (Not needing hospitalization but a few bad barky cough for several days and nights, plus fever. He has had it for a week and is still exhausted from it)
Does anyone else have experience of an older child still getting group? At what age did they grow out of it?
i have 7 chlidren 6 all ways get croup the ages are 12,10,9,7,6.2.my 7 year old has just came out of hosptl with croup i was told he is to old to have to have it.but when i told them that 4 of my kids are down with this he was puzzled to knw my 12 year old still gets croup. he is going to send a letter to my gp to check if my chlidren have very small airways

GemS fine art photography
Photography is my passion and my life. I can't think of anything else I would rather do than to document, create, engage and provoke thought.
One of the most important things I have found in this medium is documenting for raising awareness of important issues. As I add my pictures to new photo sets, all of these images will come into play...not only nature and environmental issues but health and wellness.
There are many troubles in today's world, from global warming and its effect on us as a species, to our general health and well being. I hope that somehow I can spark an interest and make you aware of all that is around us and how we can all make a difference in some small way.
It is my wish that my photographs leave you with a sense of wonder, curiosity and appreciation, for the subtle beauty and oddities that exists all around us. I hope you enjoy the images. Please leave a comment if you have the time. Feedback is much appreciated.
If you wish to purchase any of my prints please e-mail me @

If I can could get some input. :D
I'm currently leveling up my Yuki to 70 and then planning to rebirth her then. I was wondering if this below is a good build, I'm planning on gearing towards myth and also stages/raids. One of my main question is whether to only get 8/11 on Ice Rain Shower and max RB Ice Giant's Fist or leave it as is?
Yuki Build ^-^
I'd really appreciate any inputs/criticism. Thanks so much! :D!
what i don't like about most yukis in myth is that they don't take advantage of their flinch skills
dacy is actually the SECOND best flincher, yet most of the time my dacy is the one doing most of the flinching even if theres yukis in the party
my advice would be to get both versions of ice giant fist
I agree with the post above. I've seen a lot of other yuki's and most of them are afraid to get hit even though we have so many flinches.
Here's my build: Lunia Skill Calculator(JP)
The reasons why I left RB meteor as 1 is for flinching purposes, the reason why I didn't want to max is that its ridiculously long cool down. Sure it has a wide aoe range, but 1 minute cool down is too much.
Ice dragon heart is one of the best skills of yuki, sure it can be half of the damage of the RB one but its cool down is much better than the other skills such as pillar and cold blue dragon. There is a bug where you get really close to a monster, its initial damage will do a lot of damage.
If you are planning to Myth, Ice arrow is not the best choice. It will only hit one monster for every 15 seconds plus its cast time. Not very important in my opinion.
Having one on cold nuclear does not make a difference if you have zero. Maxing it would be a waste of skill points as well since it has a very long cool down which gives you a max of 2.2 seconds.
Why do I have elemental of freezing at only 6 and why not max? I found out that if you go very far away from a single monster and cast elemental where it would hit, the freezing time between shots are enough so the monster cant move at all. I have another reason why but it would be hard to explain unless I show it on video.
Anyways, you should have 1 on all flinch skills if you are planning on Mything all the time.
Also, all your skills are magic so the skill: magic blow is very useful.
In myth, I am always the person who lures, I love luring and doing the first huge damage on the mobs even there is a sieg. The fastest way to kill a mob is when they are all bunch of together, therefore the best class baits are the ones that can go through the mob (Tia and Yuki) anyways there are other characters that are good with luring but that would be off-topic. If you want to learn how I play yuki, I would gladly teach you in game, words alone wont help you.

Couples Dancing
I hate watching couples dance,
Imagining their sweet romance.
The kind things he does,
The way that she loves him,
When he kisses her and she kisses back.
It all makes me cry,
You wonder why?
Because I'm alone, all I've ever been told has been lies.
When they're so close,
Sharing one heart
Their love is eternal,
Mine is doomed from the start.
Secret things are written in her pure white journal,
Memories are made, won't be forgot.
In my book the pages are black,
The ink is red from the blood that's been slashed
From my veins, by someone I loved.
They flowed with the life that they gave me,
But now are steeped in poison, my heart is dead.
They promised to love me
But I was misled.
When they walk hand in hand,
Their feet leaving tracks in the sand
I sit alone in dark despair,
Living in a land I've made for myself inside my head.
All the things they do together,
Warm summer days, cold winter nights,
Laying in the fields,
Or arms entwined in a warm bed,
I am walking all alone through dark places,
Sleeping out in the cold, while all the people's faces
Pass me by.
You may wonder why
I'm always so alone.
I can tell you, I will not lie.
All the people I have known and loved
To me, they were angels from above,
All told me they'd always be true,
But before long, they were through.
Through with me, on to someone new.
Always without a backward glance.
They wore masks hiding their true selves,
When I was there, they always seemed to care,
But when I wasn't they just complained,
Told their friends of what a pain
I was to them.
I tell you, I did nothing wrong,
Respect and love were what I practiced,
Always catering to their every need.
With a smile upon my face.
And only good intentions inside my heart.
I loved them with all my heart, but wasn't loved back.
They used me, I thought it was love,
But it was really just to have someone
To replace who they'd lost.
I was a stepping stone from love to love,
When they were done, aside I was thrown.
To wither and die
While their real loves and they
Lived out their lives.
I see her with him, acting like nothing ever happened.
Approaching me with him in tow, as if it will not hurt me.
Totally forgetting the past I had with her.
Sitting in the back of the hall.
Hearing the music rise and fall,
Singing of love.
The couples sway like trees in the wind,
In the darkened room
As the light, to the sky ascends
And inky darkness fills it in.
The couples are so close in the dying light,
They look as one
And I know that soon they might
Make the vows and be married,
Their young hearts don't want to tarry.
The beautiful young people so deep in love,
Kissing in the cherry grove.
I sit and watch in my despair,
Wishing for my share of love.
But no, I am forever doomed,
Doomed to be alone.
My inner beauty can't quite be shown
Through my exterior, for it to be known
The beautiful person I am inside.
All they want is a gorgeous face,
For physical beauty, their hearts do race.
So I am always in a corner,
Knowing that I'll be forever a loner.
Never approached, so few friends,
This turmoil won't ever end.
And that is why I hate.

holy... and crap. i almost started crying there. i never liked watching couples dance but. my friend, baby valentine, (i called her that cause she was born on valentines day) had been the sweetest girl ever. and she thought she had a perfect boyfriend who took her to ever dance possible. it was cute to watch. then he tore out her heart and crushed it so she went suicide. i refuse to go to any dance ever again. your poem is beautiful
I'm on the verge of tears. That's why so many are so afraid to fall in love. Yes it's beautiful when you find the right person and you feel like nothing can go wrong but for many people, love is a terrible and cruel thing. You told a brilliant story of why this man doesn't like to see a couple dance, it was bitter-sweet. I'm very sorry this is how you feel at the moment, heartbreak is not easy. Keep writing dear, I can't say it gets better but you learn to cope with it :)
This is so beautiful and the emotion presented in this is breathtakingly beautiful and I loved it, it is so sad and yet so amazing. Aside from that I thought that. Would tell you a few grammatical mistakes you made: there - means a place, their - means people or animals ie their love was endless, and they're - they are; during your piece it just appeared that you had them mixed up but a lot of people do the same thing I just unfortunately pick up on everything. Back to the purpose of your poem, this is so sad and sorry but once agai beautiful. Happy writing - Rose Burg xx
Wow. Just. Wow. That's really powerful, and just intense.I'm really very speechless. Oh, I have an idea!! I could make a second half to this! Like, from the mind of the girl in the couple? I'll give you credit and put a link to this in the description. Sound good?
Been there.....soooooo many times, dude, I relate. Incredible work, I love the line ink is red from the blood that's been slashed, inspired, lease keep up the good work! :)
Wow, yet again another beautiful piece you have written! I'm not sure when I realized it, but I was almost singing this poem to myself as I could clearly imagine being the speaker. So many emotions yet an easy perspective to relate to. Loved this (:
That's so beautiful. But mdont feel bad i feel the same way that's why i havent a life. But anyways, good poem, very heartfelt
This poem is amazing, probably my favorite one I've read on here. I could see every line, and every word you wrote. Excellent job (:
Love this! Written so well, you got all the emotions across. GreatJob=)
This is probably one of the most powerful poems I have ever read. And it has so much depth to it, that it is actually a short story too :) You are so talented. Thank you for inviting me to read your work XD
I am just speechless. you showed true heart in this poem. it was truly sad and touching to the heart. so much sadness and pain. a beautifully written poem. i truly don't know what to say. brilliant job my good man.
sincerely, Mr. EAST
This is like, the longest poem I have ever read, but it was powerful! I mean, who can't relate to that feeling? Being single and having to watch happy couples?? Like, it sucks haha! But this poem was awesome! Really really deep and amazing!!! Wondeful job with this!!
Very heartfelt. I especially loved the line, "I was a stepping stone from love to love." Feeling so insignificant. I completely understand. So well written. I could feel the disappointment you must have felt as I read this.

USAID: A history of US foreign aid
Working in more than 100 countries across Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe, the U.S. Agency for International Development has been at the fore of global efforts to reduce poverty and promote broad-based economic growth. Over the past five years, the agency has spent an average $16 billion annually on sectors such as health, peace and security, and economic development.
Since USAID was established in 1961, it has had 16 different administrators managing billions of dollars and making decisions affecting lives of hundreds of poor people worldwide. How did these administrators shape the evolution of the U.S. government's primary aid agency — and American foreign policy?

Will Simcha Felder Save NY Republicans from Extinction?
New York's Republican party has little to celebrate Thursday, seemingly close to losing control of the state Senate in addition to losing the state for the presidential election.
Democrats are expected to hold a 33-30 majority in the state Senate, though a couple of races will not be concluded until absentee and affidavit ballots are counted.
Queens Councilman Eric Ulrich lost to Democratic Senator Joseph Addabbo.
According to a report in the New York Daily News, "The GOP's best hope is to convince five renegade Democrats to join their team. Four Dems last year formed the Independent Democratic Conference and have worked closely with Republicans"
Former Councilman Simcha Felder, a Democrat who defeated incumbent Republican Senator David Storobin on Tuesday is also considered to be a potential partner with a Republican minority who would help the party maintain control of the chamber.
New York Republican US Senator Wendy Long was also defeated on Tuesday.Jewish Press Staff

RNC ignores Sarah Palin in recognizing GOP women trailblazers
The: Republican National Committee: released a statement over the weekend commemorating: Women's History Month: that served as little more than a slap in the face to: Sarah Palin.
Equal opportunity was the theme RNC chair: Reince Priebus: and co-chair: Sharon Day: drew upon as they highlighted Republican women seen as trailblazers, but omitted any reference to the party's first female vice presidential nominee.
"Republican women have a history of being trailblazers, breaking ground and glass ceilings – from Margaret Chase Smith, the first woman to be elected to both the House and the Senate, to the nation's first Latina governor, Susana Martinez of New Mexico and the country's youngest sitting governor, Nikki Haley of South Carolina,": the statement read.
Incredibly, Palin played a key role in 2010 election of Martinez and Haley.
As Breitbart News reported, RealClearPolitics reporter Scott Conroy wrote that both women were the beneficiary of the "single most powerful weapon upstart Republican candidates could hope for that year: the endorsement of Sarah Palin."
Fox News' Todd Starnes posted a link to the RNC statement on his Facebook wall, along with this comment:
The Republican Party omits Sarah Palin from list of prominent Republican women.
And they wonder why they keep losing elections. Clueless.
"Palin's omission is conspicuous and bizarre," Breitbart News' Tony Lee wrote, adding that "the RNC does not want to be associated with the movement that propelled the party to its only win in the last four election cycles."
Clueless indeed.

The development of a rich multimedia training environment for crisis management: using emotional affect to enhance learning

PANDORA is an EU FP7-funded project developing a novel training and learning environment for Gold Commanders, individuals who carry executive responsibility for the services and facilities identified as strategically critical e.g. Police, Fire, in crisis management strategic planning situations. A key part of the work for this project is considering the emotional and behavioural state of the trainees, and the creation of more realistic, and thereby stressful, representations of multimedia information to impact on the decision-making of those trainees. Existing training models are predominantly paper-based, table-top exercises, which require an exercise of imagination on the part of the trainees to consider not only the various aspects of a crisis situation but also the impacts of interventions, and remediating actions in the event of the failure of an intervention. However, existing computing models and tools are focused on supporting tactical and operational activities in crisis management, not strategic. Therefore, the PANDORA system will provide a rich multimedia information environment, to provide trainees with the detailed information they require to develop strategic plans to deal with a crisis scenario, and will then provide information on the impacts of the implementation of those plans and provide the opportunity for the trainees to revise and remediate those plans. Since this activity is invariably multi-agency, the training environment must support group-based strategic planning activities and trainees will occupy specific roles within the crisis scenario. The system will also provide a range of non-playing characters (NPC) representing domain experts, high-level controllers (e.g. politicians, ministers), low-level controllers (tactical and operational commanders), and missing trainee roles, to ensure a fully populated scenario can be realised in each instantiation. Within the environment, the emotional and behavioural state of the trainees will be monitored, and interventions, in the form of environmental information controls and mechanisms impacting on the stress levels and decisionmaking capabilities of the trainees, will be used to personalise the training environment. This approach enables a richer and more realistic representation of the crisis scenario to be enacted, leading to better strategic plans and providing trainees with structured feedback on their performance under stress.

The 5 animated team-up films Marvel needs to make next
Counting down the super pairings we want Marvel Animation to bring to life next
4. Captain Marvel & Spider-Woman
The Carol Corps – and pretty much every Marvel fan – wants more Carol Danvers. While rumors of a solo film constantly run amok online, the "Black Widow & Punisher" trailer shows that she will appear in the animated movie. With a precedent for animated inclusion set, it would make sense for Marvel Animated to have her co-headline a feature alongside her frequent partner-in-dinosaur-punching, Spider-Woman. And while we're not exactly sure where Jessica Drew's live-action film rights lie since Sony owns Spider-Man's, Marvel has retained animated rights to all of its characters, meaning that animation may be the perfect place for Spider-Woman to fly high.

Public to have say on red-zone future
Who should pick up the tab for maintaining red-zone services?
Related Links
Relevant offers
Christchurch Earthquake 2011
Compulsory acquisition of red-zone stayers is possible once the future use of the city's written-off land is decided, Canterbury's earthquake boss says.
Today marks the deadline for remaining homeowners who have accepted the Crown buyout offer to leave their properties but the future for red-zone "stayers" remains unclear.
A total of 137 property owners have refused the Government's buyout offer and will remain in the red zone. This figure includes vacant landowners and about 100 home-owners who plan to stay.
Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (Cera) chief executive Roger Sutton this morning said 60 people had been allowed to stay in their homes penalty-free while owners arranged temporary accommodation or waited for their new homes to be completed.
The Government this year wanted to decide on the future use of red-zoned land in the city and Sutton said this could mean some properties were compulsorily acquired.
''Compulsory acquisition may occur for some of those properties but . . . I think there are different answers for different areas,'' he said.
''Seaside areas, places like Brooklands, it may be that there isn't any real future use and it's OK to keep infrastructure on and they can stay long-term.''
This could also apply to places like Kairaki Beach, he said.
Cera figures show Brooklands and Kairaki have the highest concentration of stayers.
''But we will need to work with the wider community . . . to decide what happens in the long-term.''
A handful of property owners had said ''they can't be bothered and don't want to move'' so they would now face steep penalty fines.
For example, if Cera had acquired land for $100,000, owners would pay 10 per cent of that price every year, or $200 a week, Sutton said.
''But if we've bought the land and their property then it could be a lot more than that.''
Fewer than five people had decided to stay and pay the fee, he said.
The details have been released following a meeting this morning between Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee and mayor Lianne Dalziel.
Sutton said Cera had "always made it clear that it was possible services could go at some point" with future uses of the red zone "not compatible to people living there".
This year's priority would be deciding on the future of the red zone and public consultation - similar to the Christchurch City Council's Share An Idea - was being considered, Sutton said.
A formal consultation process on the future use of the residential red zone would happen this year.
Some of the ideas that had already been mooted included rowing courses, swimming lakes and building a man- made hill "so people can run up to the top and watch the sun set", Sutton said.
About 50 per cent of empty Crown-owned properties in the red zone had been demolished and Sutton hoped all land would be cleared by the end of the year.
As of yesterday, 51 people who have accepted a Government buyout offer remained in the red zone and Cera had agreed to let them stay temporarily.
Those who accepted an offer but remain in their homes without Cera's permission will be charged monthly penalty fees.
Sutton said most of the 51 homeowners had been allowed to stay without penalty because they were building new homes that were a few weeks away from completion.
"There's a small number who are trying to buy a house now with their money and that's been taking some time."
Others had been given extensions for personal reasons - such as an elderly man with cancer who needed some time to "sort out his issues" and a man who was struggling to relocate his Retreat Rd home to another suburb.
Sutton said the final deadline for red-zoned homeowners marked the end of "a huge project".
"This has been of massive significance . . . we've moved the equivalent of the population of Ashburton," he said.
"Clearly there has been some casualties but we have done what we can."
The Government should pick up the $1 million-a-month tab for maintaining essential services in the red zone, Christchurch Mayor Lianne Dalziel says.
Her position conflicts with the Government's view that the council is responsible for providing services in written-off areas.
Dalziel yesterday told The Press the decision to date to not compulsorily acquire properties within the red zone had left the council between a "rock and a hard place".
The council was legally obliged to provide services to properties it was collecting rates from but did not need the extra financial burden, she said.
Cera this month estimated the cost of keeping services running was $500 a week a house, with the total upkeep being just under $1m a month.
Sutton said yesterday it was not viable to keep services going in the long term.
A council spokeswoman said the council and the Government had spent an additional $9.7m on roading, water, stormwater and wastewater assets in the red zone in the year to June 2013. The Government meets 60 per cent of the costs.
Dalziel said if the council withdrew services it could be legally challenged by property owners because they were not lawfully required to leave their homes.
"The cost of [maintaining services] is being transferred to the rest of the ratepayers but it seems to me that given it's a government decision to go down this track, the cost really ought to be borne by the taxpayer so there is a wider pool of people who are meeting [it]," she said.
Dalziel had not yet raised her concerns with the Government as she had only recently been briefed on the costs. "But it is a discussion I do intend having."
Today marks the final deadline for flat-land red-zoned residents to leave their homes.
About 100 residential homeowners have refused the Government's buyout offer.
The future for red-zone "stayers" is unclear. Decisions about the future of red-zoned land will be made this year.
People to have rejected the offer include 34 homeowners in Brooklands, 20 in Kairaki, 13 in Bexley, 10 in Dallington and five in Avonside. Maintaining services in the red zone could cost up to $1 million a month.

RANGOON—Authorities in the north of Arakan State added another measure to the restrictions imposed on Rohingya Muslims last week, by introducing a regional order that sets a two-child limit for local families. The directive, which is effective in Maungdaw District, also bans polygamy.
"Regarding family planning, they can only get two children," Arakan State government spokesperson Win Myaing said on Monday, adding that only monogamous marriages would be recognized.
"The rule is only for certain groups… For Buddhist people, we don't need that rule, because Buddhist people only have one wife," Win Myaing said. "It's being implemented to control the population growth, because it's becoming too crowded there."
Maungdaw District authorities, he said, "will not use force, but if people want to marry [or register newborn children] they have to submit forms to relevant local authorities and gain permission."
In Maungdaw District, located in northern Arakan State along Burma's border with Bangladesh, the majority of the population is Rohingya and there is a small Arakanese Buddhist minority.
Burma's central government, Arakan State authorities and Arakanese politicians have long claimed that the Muslim population in the region is rapidly growing and pushing out local Buddhist communities.
Arakan nationalist leaders said the new regional order had been adopted on May 12 on instructions from the central government in Naypyidaw.
"The two-child policy is only for Bengali fathers and mothers who have no citizenship. They have no ID, they are illegal immigrants from Bangladesh," Than Tun, of the Arakan Social Network, said during an interview in Sittwe last week. "The order came from the president and it was implemented as a regional notice."
Shwe Maung, a northern Arakan State MP with the ruling Union, Solidarity and Development Party, said he could not confirm that Naypyidaw had ordered the implementation of a two-child policy in Maungdaw. "If this is from the Union Parliament it should be publicly released. But I didn't find any information about it," he said.
Last month, a government report claimed that "high population growth" among the Muslim population had contributed to last year's clashes between Arakanese Buddhists and Rohingyas. It recommended voluntary family-planning measures among the Muslim population.
Inter-communal violence in June and October 2012 killed almost 200 people and displaced about 140,000 people, mostly Rohingyas.
The new order will add to a range of government restrictions imposed on the Rohingya population, such as limits on freedom of movement and access to government services, and existing conditions on recognition of marriages and children.
Burma's government does not accept the Rohingyas as citizens and terms them "Bengalis," suggesting that they have come from Bangladesh in recent decades. The Rohingyas claim they are native to Arakan State.
Human Rights Watch has alleged that the government has been complicit in the killings and ethnic cleansing of Rohingyas last year. The US-based group said that since then, "the Burmese government has tightened its discriminatory restrictions on the Rohingya, although many of the policies have been in place for decades."
Myo Thant, a Rohingya politician from the Democracy and Human Rights party, which is based in Maungdaw District, said that the new two-child policy was based on false allegations by government officials.
"They accuse us of being responsible for an explosion of the Muslim population in Maungdaw District, but this has always been a Muslim majority area with a dense population," he said.
Myo Thant said Arakanese leaders and the central government had long contrived to control the Rohingya population and limit their rights.
"Since 1988, they have tried to control the birth rates," he said, adding that families in Maungdaw District had been subject to the authority of local battalions of the Burmese border security force, the Nasaka, which has the power to approve registration of Rohingya newborns and marriages.
(Additional reporting in Sittwe by Htet Naing Zaw)
What kind of justice. These Rohingya people were forced to leave from their towns by different Governments from 1942 onward. They ran for their lives and took shelter in Maung Daw and Buthidaung . Now they are densely populated in this two towns. They cannot move from these towns to other towns. So this is their fault. Their population is high because Govt. make them. Now another cruel restriction. Do whatever you people can inflict on them.. Now is the time for them the darkest in their worlds. But who knows the turn will not change. There is always darkness before down
One life one wife one family!
That is an excellent step in the right direction not for a nationalistic reason but in a situation where it is clear and that is mostly why UN and INGO s are there , where mothers are forced to get much much more children than they and specially their Husbands can feed and educate , — all under the pretext of a religion to ensure that they outnumber the other race in a soon time. If peaceful living together is with the Bengali community in North Rakhine on the program than they will understand and fully agree with such a step.Nothing against a certain religion but their women should be given more free choice how many children they like to have and not be abused by their men as race mass production bodies only …. Good step by the government,- Monogamy is also a Law in Myanmar and should be enforced there but also by the many Myanmar rich Buddhist men with all their Misteresses since many years. Love and do not scare your neighbors is a better recipe for peace….
I respectfully submit that, with over 7 BILLION humans on earth, crowding out and driving to extinction other species, despoiling the earth and polluting all of its systems that we all need to share to survive, it should not be one group that is under this imposition, but ALL people need to seriously think about and practice birth control. The more people there are, the worse the quality of life is for us all, as well.
It it is against the gross violation of human rights as well as birth rights. To-day you are doing this tomorrow you will see what you have to This action is groos violation of human rights and birth rights. Do not blame any body it is yours' cruelty and discrimination among the society within Arakan. Do you think that Arakan alone belongs to you, to day you are in power tomorrow you will loose power then you think it over hundred times before you do it. The day will come soon you have to pay the cost who ever you may be.
All steps taken for Rohingya Muslims ( Oop Bengalee – some people dislike the name Rohingya) are in right direction as per some people. Theya are not human being but animals. They can not move, marry and now they will not be able to have more than two children. Excellent – Right direction. If similar restriction impose on Burmese in other country how they will feel.
Zaw Win,
There's no reason to dislike Rohingya name among Burmese peoples. However, the problem is inventing bogus story about new indigenous ethnic of Burmese. We don't care Bengali called themselves as Rohingya or Bofingya or whatever, as long as they do not invented bogus story for to get new indigenous ethnic status in Burma.
As you know, Burmese illegal migrant workers in Malaysia and other South East Asia countries do not free as illegal Bengali migrants in Rakhine state. Communal riot was started by those illegal Bengali migrants in Rakhine state. Everyone knows how Malaysia police and immigration officers treat illegal migrant workers in Islamist state. Burmese-Muslim peoples are free to produce child as much as they afford to feed their children and there is no restriction on birth. The Government birth control over illegal Bengali migrants is wrong.
The Government can not do birth control only on illegal Bengali Migrants. It's violating human right of illegal Bengali migrants. However, Burmese Government can assist them with medical service if they seeking help for birth control planning in their family.
What Government needs to do is negotiate with Bangladeshi Government for repatriate it own citizens and descendent of it own citizens from Rakhine state.
If Bangladeshi Government does not accept its citizens from Rakhine stae and then we should support militia in Chittagong Hill Tracts, Manipur and Assam. I believe Sittagon Hill Tracts, Assam and Manipur should be one independent country in future.
Also legality of British Colony Government given Sittagong Hill Tracts to East Pakistan was questionable because Sittagong Hill Tracts had been territory of Rakhine kingdom for over thousand of years before Burmese king given up Manipur, Assam and Arakan (Rakhine) to British. Rajas in Sittagong never rule over Sittagong Hill Tracts.
Burmese Government must rethink about birth control policy over illegal Bengali migrates in Rakhine state. I hope the solution must not be costs at Rakhine peoples.
We know illegal Bengali Migrants are not animals but they must go back where they come from. Burmese Government must treat illegal Bengali migrants humanly until they were accepted by Bangladeshi Government.
The problem is Bangladeshi Government illegal dumping its over populated peoples in neighbor countries like rubbishes. Bangladeshi Government refusing to taken back its citizens from neighboring countries is grossly violation of right of it own citizens and its neighbors' Border security.
Illegal Bengali migrants' problem won't be going away by birth controlling over Bengali peoples in Rakhine state. Government needs to find permanent solution for those Bengali illegal migrants.
How will the government enforce this policy of discrimination? If they have more than two children, are they going to jail? To me, this is a nonsense policy. Myanmar government is making itself so funny by imposing this discriminating policy.
Were there any Muslims in Arakense Kings Court?. Was there any Mosques, name Sindi Khan in Myo Haung and any name Shuja who was from King Akbar decedent? Only narrating selective things from the past to show the world that there were no Muslims in Arkhan. Only recent migration. This is to deceive the world.. Who introduced the 1982 citizenship law. The dictator Ne Win. We will accept his law because it is what current Rakhine Administration wants. We will void and kick out democratically elected Govt. law of the past because those people who were in the power at time were not trustworthy. Bangladesh Govt. could not dump it's people to Rakhine state. Because people would not like to come to Burma as the time was cruel Ne Win era. It was so strict and most of the immigrations officers were Rakhine at that time. So there is no logic people migrated from Bangladesh at that time. During that period lot of Rakhine came from Bangladesh and settled. But for them no problem because they were and are Buddhist. Law should be equal for all, irrespective of religions. If we shout and shout illegal Bengalee, for Rohingya , Rohingya name will not be wiped out from the world. Because it will be very difficult to fool learned men who will dig out the history of Arkan state

The dictator Ne Win. We will accept his law because it is what current Rakhine Administration wants. We will void and kick out democratically elected Govt. law of the past because those people who were in the power at time were not trustworthy. Bangladesh Govt. could not dump it's people to Rakhine state. Because people would not like to come to Burma as the time was cruel Ne Win era. It was so strict and most of the immigrations officers were Rakhine at that time. So there is no logic people migrated from Bangladesh at that time. During that period lot of Rakhine came from Bangladesh and settled. But for them no problem because they are Buddhist. Law should be equal for all, irrespective of religions. If we shout and shout illegal Bengali, for Rohingya , Rohingya name will not be wiped out from the world. Because it will be very difficult to fool learned men who will dig out the history of Arkan state will certainly get the truth
imposing birth control on particular ethnic like rohingya ethnic in arakan is one of many discriminatory policy under practiced.ethnic cleansing,genocide against rohingya ethnic was systematically taken underway as HRW reported,but no action from international community against magh rakhine,rague thien sein and his followers to stop crime against humanity.not booking crime committed like magh bangali Dr. Aye maung,other those responsible encouraged for participate more criminal activity.after killing hundred of thousand of rohingya ethnic with cool blood in rakhine,hundred of thousand half death are at camp,magh thugs unable to kill openly and imposing ridiculous policy of birth control which rohingya imposed them self already where they are facing dead and life under wild animal magh rule with support of racist ruler from naypaytaw.branding rohingya ethnic as Bengali, some commentator making themselves as laughing stock.Late pres. Dr. maung2 he is educated but his evil did contribution of 1982 act, which only target is rohingya ethinic remembered as evil.
Oh yea.Texas was belong to Mexico not USA.China was belong to Mngol.Where is even Manchus? East and west parkistan was belong to India.Let's dig the history harder sothat we know who was who?Who was not even in the any history but just freshly fabricated or formulated or manufactured.You can fool or lie to the whole world but don't lie to yourself.By the way,For the good cause,china used to have one family one child policy.
Educated & working class have no time to take care their babies & so, prefered 1 or 2 babies in the family. That happens in modern developed countries. Anyway, the world is getting smaller, the world population is swelling.
In Rakhine, Rohingya story is different. If nothing to do, then more time to make babies & they did. Burmese government afraid "Bangali brothers & sisters" story. That's the reason Burmese government imposed 2 children policy to them. Better than China's 1 child policy, I think!

anyone seen a picture of the left side of the new Ranch Hand ,does it have a saddle ring? I was thinking of something like the holster made for the "JB Custom "Mares Leg"

yes it does.
according to the advertsiment i saw (this months inside cover of American Rifleman)
whats cooler. the hat, the jacket , the belt ( with 45.70 ammo ha ha) or the rifle. i like the slightly curved buttplate the rossi appears to be flat.
June 27, 2010, 01:14 PM
it's too bad it doesn't come in .460 or .500.
I'd pick one up just to add on to the collection.
June 27, 2010, 09:39 PM
Kinda worthless, but I do remember the TV show. I was thinkin' if you could contort to fire that thing from the shoulder somehow and keep hour nose in place, it WOULD fit in motorcycle saddle bags. :D

In Canada, which does not have stupid limits on barrel lengths, some people have said they will buy one and fit a full-size buttstock to it.

Canada does have some barrel length limits; some close to ours (USA) and some more restrictive:

I'm a sucker for the unusual. I'll get one as soon as they arrive at the dealers.
.357 because I don't reload 45 Colt or 44 Mag.
June 28, 2010, 09:26 PM
I'm a sucker for the unusual. I'll get one as soon as they arrive at the dealers...
I almost hate to admit it, but I'll buy a "Ranch Hand" too, in .44mag.
...Unless the fit and finish looks painfully like a Daisy bb gun (like the Mossberg 464).
June 28, 2010, 10:17 PM
If accurate enough, I think it would be cool to do some deer hunting with a .44 mag Ranch Hand. Every deer I've taken around here was within 25 yards, so I think it might be possible.
June 29, 2010, 02:36 AM
too bad not being made by marlin or winchester
June 29, 2010, 02:46 AM
I'm jumping on the Ranch Hand bandwagon as soon as I can get my hands on one in .357mag. I've been in love with the idea of owning a Mare's Leg for a long time, and thank god someone's finally producing one for under a grand.
June 29, 2010, 03:09 AM
I saw this too in AR I would love to know how they got the ATF to call it a pistol.
June 29, 2010, 03:22 AM
Canada does have some barrel length limits; some close to ours (USA) and some more restrictive:
We've got some pretty stupid gun laws just like most places ( seems no one country has a monopoly on stupid when it comes to guns!)
But for non semi auto's there are no barrel restrictions if it is a factory produced barrel.
We can't shorten a barrel on a non semi less then 18 inches but we can buy factory guns with shorter barrels no problem.....
In other words the "man" won't let me cut down an 870 barrel to less then 18 inches but he doesn't have a problem with me buying an 870 with a factory produced 12.5" barrel!
Makes no sense but these laws are hangovers from the past when I guess people where chopping barrels and using the guns for criminal activities.
I will be getting a Ranch Hand if they actually show up and I will swap stocks depending on how I feel with one of my other puma's.
June 29, 2010, 04:42 AM
I want one, just because they used one in the TV series "Firefly".
I saw this too in AR I would love to know how they got the ATF to call it a pistol.
The receiver never had a shoulder stock attached.
The short stock qualifies as a "pistol grip" and can not be used as a shoulder stock.
The large lever loop allows one hand manipulation of the action.
Therefore, it's a handgun. ;)
(a) As used in this chapter
(29) The term handgun means
(A) a firearm which has a short stock and is designed to be held and fired by the use of a single hand; and
(B) any combination of parts from which a firearm described in subparagraph (A) can be assembled.

The same way Remington, Weatherby and Savage made pistols out of their rifle actions. By never assembling them with a barrel over 14" nor a buttstock.

Oddly enough, the concept harkens back to the original Volcanic pistols.
June 30, 2010, 01:49 PM
The large lever loop allows one hand manipulation of the action.
Therefore, it's a handgun.
Contrary to popular belief, the "spin cock" usually just results in a loaded cartridge falling to the ground. Chuck Connor's guns in The Rifleman actually had a special modification that prevented the loaded cartridge from falling out of the action during the spin.
So can it really be operated with one hand?
June 30, 2010, 03:13 PM
You mean John Wayne didn't shoot them one handed in "True Grit"? :what: (rifles)
Movie lore? :confused:
My 30-30 has a standard lever. The action is stiff enough to not really want to try it. :eek: not sure my fingers would like it.
June 30, 2010, 03:50 PM
I have never done a full spin, but I could operate my old room mate's .22 lever action one handed. More of a jerk motion to get it forward and a jerk motion to get it back. Doubt I could do it with anything heavier though.
Not sure how this gun works. Never seen one aside from in the movies.
June 30, 2010, 04:10 PM
Well if ya'll wanna chip in and buy me one when they hit the market, I'll master the spin cock and give a full report. :D
June 30, 2010, 07:24 PM
Personally, I plan to buy one myself and decide if it works one-handed, before govco decides it doesn't.
June 30, 2010, 07:29 PM
I am not sure that I have ever seen a more stupid or useless gun........I can't wait to buy one! I am already torn as to which caliber to get. I have already heard the argument from some about the practicality of the weapon, my thoughts are if a gun looks that cool, it has absolutely no reason to be practical!:neener:
June 30, 2010, 07:30 PM
Hey, my wife saw a photo of this gun and said, "I want one of those." She owns a gun, and shoots occasionally, but she has never looked at a gun and said this. My buddy's wife said the same thing when she saw it. I'm thinking Rossi may have a bigger market than they thought for this rifle, er, handgun. Do you think they'll put out a pink stock version? :cool:
June 30, 2010, 07:49 PM
my 15 year old daughter wants one.She likes better than my 1911's . Think I slap her mother when she comes home. Better looking than a 1911 indeed Can't be my kid . Next she will want a glock Then she will be homeless for sure.
June 30, 2010, 08:41 PM
I think I'd wanna dry spin for practice for a while. I'd probably blow my idiot shoulder off trying that. :rolleyes:
If accurate enough, I think it would be cool to do some deer hunting with a .44 mag Ranch Hand. Every deer I've taken around here was within 25 yards, so I think it might be possible.
Well, I do have a 20" Rossi .357 Carbine I bought 25 years ago. It's about 4 MOA accurate, plenty accurate enough for deer hunting to 100 yards. I rather prefer the longer barrel. It nips at the heals of a .30-30 with the right load, pretty danged awesome. and, with a light .38 load in it, turns it into a squirrel rifle. I'm not sure if the "ranch hand" would be all that handy. I see it as a curiosity for old farts that remember "Bounty Hunter". :D
I think I saw a MSRP on this thing and it scared the hell outta me. :D
June 30, 2010, 09:23 PM
I think I saw a MSRP on this thing and it scared the hell outta me.
I already have a line on one in 44mag, it'll be $450 OTD. I'll pay it.

Too bad Westerns are on the outs in hollyrock. You'd make a great producer. :D I remember seeing an episode of "Murder She Wrote" once when the bad guy used a super 14 Contender with a barrel that looked like a .45/70 bore. Magically it fired semi-automatic. :rolleyes:

I'm thinkin that if I had that much $$ to play with, it would be the Circuit Judge, just because. Looks neater, more versatile, and possibly even useful! ;)
June 30, 2010, 11:49 PM
My 59 year old brother wants a Circuit Judge. Just because.
Useful? Maybe for shooting woodpeckers off the side of the house... (?) I'll ask him.
This is most likely a Ginger / Mary Ann preference among superfluous choices. :D
July 1, 2010, 07:17 AM
I am ready to buy. The Ranch Hand isn't listed on Rossi's website yet.... Anyone have the Ranch Hand in stock? If not, what is the release date?
July 1, 2010, 08:53 AM
My dealer can get me one for $406.00, but like I said earlier, I'm unsure about Rossi quality.
July 1, 2010, 09:06 AM
Well, my 92 has been infallible and if you wanna slick the thing up....
These 92s (which is the action on the "Ranch Hand", are very popular in CAS competition I understand. Read some of the notes on that site. He knows 'em inside and out. I've never sent mine off. It's slick enough for me. I've killed one doe at 80 yards with it when I first got it, but I don't really hunt with it much. It's a very handy little hunting rifle, though, and very versatile. I can't knock it for quality, having owned 7 Rossis over the years. Only problem I've ever had with a Rossi was a busted firing pin on a revolver. That seems to be a 20 year on going problem with the revolvers using hammer mounted firing pins. You can fix that, though, by fitting a K frame firing pin. That's what my smith did and I never had a problem with that particular gun again.
I currently own an old M68 3" Rossi, a M511 Sportsman .22 kit gun, and the 92. They're all keepers. :D
July 1, 2010, 11:43 AM
I've owned several Rossi 92's, and can comment a bit on their quality, I guess.
The only functional complaint I can make is that the extractors tend to be MUCH too stiff out of the box. Some are worse than others, and some kind of fix themselves with a few hundred rounds of break-in time. For those familiar with model 92's; you know that too much extractor tension equates to damaged brass. Steve at stevesgunz has a very educational DVD that walks you through his method of slicking up the action -- a significant step of which has to do with easing the extractor tension by more or less simply removing some metal from it.
As far as the wood goes, I've owned two Rossi's where the wood around the tang was very poorly fitted and required some filing/refinishing to make it look decent. This is mostly cosmetic, but I still considered it a problem.
Everything else about those model 92's is great. Like I said, I've owned several. :D Accuracy is perfectly acceptable and they make great cowboy guns.
As others will comment all around the web, Steve Young can make those Rossi's *sing*. His action jobs are beautiful (I've not had him work on any of mine, nor have I held one that he's worked on, but have read many accounts). If you don't want to pay or wait to have him do it, you could look into getting his DVD and attempting a DIY. He makes it look pretty easy.
July 1, 2010, 11:52 AM
You wanna know how to "spin" it? Watch the video at the bottom of this page...
Those of us old enough to have had the Mattel version as kids might even remember how it's done. It's fairly easy to do, but I'd suggest practicing with an unloaded weapon. (Stating the obvious)
Practice enough and you too can be Josh Randall.....or Woody Harrelson.
July 1, 2010, 12:48 PM
So... what's the difference between the Rossi Ranch Hand, and the Puma Bounty Hunter?
Besides the $800-$900 price difference.
I've always read/heard/thought that Rossi and Puma were the same manufacturer. If that's true, why/how could Rossi turn our a mare's leg for less than $400 while Puma (also Rossi?) couldn't do that for under $1,200?
July 1, 2010, 01:51 PM
Puma is a registered trademark/brand name by Legacy Sports in Nevada, one of several US importers who bring (or brought) in the Brazilian-made Rossi leverguns. Each importer (EMF, etc.) contracts with Rossi for their own in-house models & brands.
Legacy imported the Rossi Puma for several years, then in the last year or so switched to the Chiappa-made 92 leverguns made in Italy. They carried on the Puma brand, applying it to the Chiappas.
The Chiappa 92 is truer to the original Winchester 92 in external frame lines & machining, uses very nice walnut instead of the Rossi mystery wood, is well-fitted and is made in a modern plant in Brescia on CNC machinery.
Chiappa says the 92 line is built almost entirely from parts fabricated in house.
Workmanship, from the samples I've seen, is typically better over all than the Rossis.
Rossis usually come fairly rough & oversprung.
Rossis now come with an irritating wing safety on top of the bolt, Chiappas do not.
I have the Chiappa Bounty Hunter "Puma", one very nicely built gun. (Also quite accurate, by the way.)
I have a Rossi "Puma", also a nice little 16-inch carbine, AFTER Steve worked over the action. :)
I'm dickering for one of the Ranch Hands, and if it comes through it'll go to Steve for some work.
And, finally- If it has to be "practical", you obviously don't understand the gun. :)
The Mare's Leg was the single most iconic handgun on TV 50 years ago, possibly rivalled only by the U.N.C.L.E. Special in the mid 1960s, and for those of us who watched it in McQueen's hands back then, that's reason enough. :D

gotta have one in .45 colt to go with my Blackhawk Bisley, I shoot hundreds of hogs but usually dont go after the wounded ones, got so many dont care, they are gonna die sooner or later, ever once in a while a really big tusker interests me and I dont take nothing less than a .44 mag or my .45 into the brush, this mares leg would work too, never can have enough guns. never know about hogs, I've dropped them in their tracks with a .17hmr and had em run off from a solid .308 hit. I am an old cowboy (still at it) and the .45 just fits me.

July 4, 2010, 04:47 PM
I would not buy one. Looks worthless to me. It is neither a handgun nor a rifle. Too Hollywoody from the 1950 and 60's.
July 11, 2010, 12:14 PM
I want one in 357....I don't see any purpose for it other that it makes you feel like a kid.....And that is a good enough reason for me....I guess if you try really hard you can tell yourself it would make a good truck gun or backpack gun....Im sticking with its just plain cool....
July 12, 2010, 11:23 PM

October 9, 2010, 12:07 PM
My fiance also fell in love with this gun. She's big on the outdoor hardcore stuff and I guess the Ranch Hand filled a niche. In our family we bring a particular gun depending upon where/what we're doing that day, so for instance if I need a "city gun" I carry my stainless Taurus 6-shot .38 and she packs a Bond Arms derringer loaded with some of those Smith & Wesson ultimate self defense shells, a gun that works well in her small hands...
So, my question is this. We'll be moving to Nova Scotia for her
graduate studies and there's plenty of back country in those parts,
would any of you Canada boys say that, despite it's many
impractical applications, could the Ranch Hand actually function as
a decent choice for a "countryside" gun? Obviously there are
plenty of better choices out there for those with unlimited
resources, but I was thinking that given the fact we've already got
a .38 that buying a Rossi RH chambered in .357 to keep in the Jeep might be a smart move considering the cost of ammo these days. Plus, it's the closest thing to a legally concealable rifle I've ever seen, so yea, ability to keep it loaded in an automobile? PRICELESS!
October 9, 2010, 03:23 PM
You'd have to check with Nova Scotia on their rules about guns in the bush.... some provinces only allow it during hunting season with a hunting licence and tag.
You'd need to get a gun licence as well but otherwise a mare's leg specially with a full butt stock ( no problems up here) would be a great bushwacking gun.
October 10, 2010, 08:15 PM
I want one in .357. It is just too cool. Nice to keep under your bed for prowlers.

Sadly, most of the intruders you might get the opportunity to hold with a Ranch Hand probably have never even HEARD of Steve McQueen. Although the spectacle of seeing you spin cock that bad boy would probably freeze them in their tracks...

October 30, 2010, 05:57 PM
so far as the "can it be operated single-handedly?" question goes and the concerns about a loaded round falling out, here's the thing:
* YES a loaded round can possibly/easily fall out while the gun is upside-down, but all it really takes is practice
* YES there is an actual point to the spin-cock maneuver, but typically only if you're riding a horse or motorcycle while operating the firearm, which is not recomended
* ALSO the actual point of the oversized lever ring was originally to accommodate people who were wearing work gloves and carrying the gun, IE - ranch hands
October 30, 2010, 06:09 PM
The unmodified '92 action may or may not drop a live round in spincocking it. Not entirely reliable.
One-handed operation should be an emergency-only proposition.
And no- the actual point of the oversized ringlevers originally was to allow John Wayne to look cool in 1939, and Chuck Connors to look cool two decades later. :)
November 19, 2010, 12:03 AM
OK how many out there has a Ranch Hand. Just got mine in 45C a couple days ago. Anyone else??
November 19, 2010, 03:08 PM
We gotta know, how does it shoot?
November 19, 2010, 07:27 PM
Well it is not a match pistol. Imparactical. If you shoot it off hand it gets around the point of aim. It is a TV film historic gun.

Can you shoulder it?
M2 Carbine
November 19, 2010, 09:47 PM
This morning as my friend and I were walking into the gun store my friend spotted a sales clerk taking a Ranch Hand out of the box. They had just received two of them.
Now they have one.:D.
First impression is the workmanship is good. The action is your typical lever action.
This afternoon I ran about 70 rounds through it, 38 Special.
The gun does not point naturally for me. It took me a little shooting before I could somewhat reliably hit COM, from the hip, from 10 yards.
Fast lever operation works on your hand after a while. A pair of thin leather gloves might be welcome during a morning of a lot of fast shooting.
I plan on a lot of shooting tomorrow, including some .357 rounds.
Looks like it's going to be a fun gun.
Now I have to go dig out my "Wanted Dead or Alive" video disks.:D
November 20, 2010, 02:07 AM
You can shoulder it, but extremely poorly.
Not what it's made for. Way too short.
November 21, 2010, 12:56 AM
Thanks for the reports!
January 2, 2011, 02:57 PM
In Canada, which does not have stupid limits on barrel lengths, some people have said they will buy one and fit a full-size buttstock to it.
The current Rossi "ranch hand" is 24" long with that useless stub of a stock on it.
The full length Rossi M92 knockoff (formerly "Puma") stock will fit it and put the OAL over the 26" that it needs to be to be legal as a non-restricted firearm in Canada.
There is no NFA style barrel length restrictions on rifles and shotguns in Canada as long as the short barrel is factory installed.
It is illegal to "chop" a rifle of shotgun barrel to less than 18" in Canada & to do so renders the firearm an illegal "prohibited" firearm.
Rather than do that I'd just as soon get a much more versatile Rossi Puma in .454 Casull with a 16" barrel as the over sized lever loop is redundant as far as I'm concerned.

You don't have to rub it in.:cuss:
What we should do is go back to the court with examples of short-barreled weapons being used in combat -- thus challenging the presumption that such weapons are not suitable for militia.

I've been shooting mine a good bit with 38 Special and .357 Mag.
You can quickly get pretty good with it while shooting from the hip or aiming it like a pistol.
I have not seen another one at the gun stores or at the gun shows since I bought mine.

Yeah, you know it's a sad day and age when guns are marketed on "out of the box reliability", as though that should be something to brag about in a new firearm.
Actually, I guess I still have some Rossi prejudice because I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this gun.
Rossi has been making good leverguns for years. The SRC 92 was a deal and half and functioned great right out of the box.:D
January 4, 2011, 10:47 AM
But...but...but, it's a Rossi, it must not be any good.:rolleyes:
My Rossi is looking pretty good beside anything I've pulled out of a green box lately as regard functionality, dependability and workmanship.
Big Green is heavy into gimmick marketing and WW has had so many ups & downs that not many consider either of them as trusted industry standards any more.
No need to mention the latest fiasco where Big Green persistently refused to fix a trigger problem that made the firearm dangerous.
When you quit giving a hoot about the safety of your customers (mostly Americans) it's time to shape up or ship out.
The new industry standards for basic quality, dependability & product support are Savage, Ruger & Rossi.

Cause they had to classify the Rossi Ranch Hand as a handgun to get around the NFA prohibitions on short barreled rifles.
The Ranch Hand is legally a handgun.

It's suprising how fast those boxes empty. I average shooting about 5 days a week. Sometimes a couple times a day.
It's nice being retired.:)
Even that Ranch Hand can go through a lot of 38/357 quickly.

Tell me about it.
I used to be a PPC & IPSC competitor and would go through at least 500 rounds in a single match.
The peepers started to go and that part of my shooting life is now contained in photo albums and trophies over the fireplace.
The old blue monster (Dillon progressive) doesn't get near the use that it once did.
If the apocalypse does happen it has to be above the nose to count. :D

Villagers of Kuchinda block in the district are spending sleepless nights for last couple of days as a herd of wild elephants has damaged houses and properties.
Rendered homeless by the marauding elephants, five families are taking shelter in their neighbours' houses.
Sources said a herd of about 20 elephants from Badrama Wildlife Sanctuary has been roaming in Kutrachaun, Satkama, Panpali and Tungripada villages. While they are found camping in the outskirts of the villages in the morning, at the fall of evening, they enter the villages and damage paddy and vegetable crop and houses.
The herd has damaged the houses of Khatu Kisan and Umesh Kisan in Tungripada village besides devouring the paddy stocked in their houses and damaging utensils on Monday night. To prevent the herd from damaging other houses, the villagers set fire to a haystack.
Similarly on Sunday night, the herd entered Satkama and Panpali villages and damaged three houses. Moreover, the pachyderms razed banana plantation of a villager in Panpali.
The villagers said though the local administration and the Forest officials are aware of the situation, no effort has been made as yet to chase away the elephants or provide relief to the affected villagers. They said they are taking turns to stay awake at night to prevent the elephants from entering the village. Divisional Forest Officer, Bamra Wildlife Division, Lalit Mohan Patra said forest officials have been deployed to chase away the herd.
He admitted that they have received complaint from the villagers about loss sustained by them due to attack by the herd. The affected villagers will be compensated as per norms, he added.
