tBBC EDITORS
Joe Dexter was born and raised in the mitten state, but since becoming a football fan at the age of six, has had a hatred for the Michigan Wolverines. A graduate of Northern Michigan University's Electronic Journalism program, it wasn't until Joe's sophomore year in high school that he saw the light and became a Buckeye fan- thanks to Buckeye wrestling greats Russ Hellickson, Mitch Clark and Tommy Rowlands for the conversion, as well as a high school wrestling program with one All-American wrestling coach from Michigan and another from Ohio State.
Joe currently resides in Greensboro, North Carolina where he serves as the features editor for VSporto's Buckeye Sports Radio and the lead editor of The Buckeye Battle Cry. His most important title though is stay at home dad to Bailey Dexter. He tweets here: @buckeyeradio.
Chip Minnich is a former volunteer recruiting assistant at Ohio State, a former scouting intern for the Washington Redskins, and has been writing or podcasting about Ohio State football for several years. Chip has his own blog that focuses on just about anything football-related, Buckeyes or Browns, called From The Mind Of Minnich. Chip has contributed to Men of the Scarlet and Gray, and also writes for Athlon Sports.
Happily married with three children, Chip is a lifelong resident of Ohio, residing in Avon Lake, hometown of former Buckeye greats Mike D'Andrea and Anthony Gonzalez. Follow Chip on Facebook, or on Twitter @ChipMinnich. #GoBucks
Brandon Zimmerman grew up in the great state of Ohio as a Buckeyes, Reds, and Bengals fan. After graduating from high school in 2000, Brandon joined the Air Force and has worked in the government since then. Brandon has a B.S. in Sports Management and currently lives in Falcon, Colorado. He is married with two children. You can find him on twitter: @bzimmerman9
Ben Van Ooyen is a graduate of The Ohio State University class of 2004. Ben has followed Ohio State sports for as long as he can remember, as his dad and his brothers all attended Ohio State and ingrained it into him at an early age how important it was. Ben has become a bit of a recruiting junkie over the past 10 years or so, and follow it religiously. He has written for Scout and for MotSaG in the past, and is happy to have joined tBBC as a recruiting analyst/editor! GO BUCKS! follow him at @buckeyebvo

Charles joins us from down under, following a "faculty fellowship" program with our friends at Our Honor Defend, where he was the endowed chair at the Center of Ladyhoops Studies and brings a wealth of expertise and insight to our coverage of women's basketball. The "Dr." title is not honorific for the sake of prestige in the blog; he has a Ph.D. in Astronomy from Michigan State University and currently is on faculty at one of Australia's premier institutions of higher education. Tweets go the opposite direction in Australia, you can see for yourself at @Charles_BBC
WVaBuckeye is a married father of three and grandfather to one. He's been a Buckeye fan his entire life and follows ALL of the Scarlet and Gray sports. An official for high school football, basketball, and college women's hoops, he's also a SAP Master Data Resource in his current life, after being a mechanic and planner/scheduler for most of his career. He's been with tBBC since his birthday in December of 2011. Tweets and whatnot at @wvabuckeye
Patrick grew up in Dayton and can remember falling in love with Buckeye football in 1987 watching the Cotton Bowl. He moved to Akron in 1994 and attended the University of Akron and studied criminal justice. He joins our crew as yet another referee- officiating football, wrestling, and also is an umpire. A huge amateur wrestling fan and MMA fan, he's a Buckeye season ticket holder and am engaged to a Penn St grad- Which makes for one interesting Saturday a year during football season. He tweets and stuff at @pj844
Originally from Toledo Ohio, MDotySr is the proud father of four grown children and served his country in the United States Air Force from '86-'91. You can find him on twitter @MDotySr, but should be aware that he spends most of his time talking with WVaBuckeye.
JCollingsworth was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio to a long line of die-hard Buckeyes fans. He served 3 yrs. in the US Army while also attending both Monterey Peninsula College in CA and the University of Louisville. Once back in Columbus off he went to The Ohio State University – studying Literature. It was not long before he found himself in NYC – where he has called home for 30 yrs. now. JC is married for 20 yrs. to the best woman in the world, a true Brooklyn girl. They are proud parents of a talented and creative 15-year old boy. JC has attended OSU games his whole life – seeing Archie Griffin, Art Schleicther, Eddie George, and now JT, Ezekiel and the current team. Between the ages of 14 through 17 JC and his friends would arrive at the SHOE in the early morning hours and scale the huge Iron-spiked fences and sneak in where they would wander endlessly among the vendors setting up in the Stadium before game time. One old usher, whom they called Woody, would allow them into his section without tickets – obviously knowing the "need" for children to be indoctrinated into the Buckeye culture. Of all his SHOE experiences JC's greatest moment was last year (2014) against Kent State, as it was the first time that his lovely wife and son attended a Buckeyes game. Having now drank the Kool-Aid they too are fervent Buckeyes fans. JC is on Twitter: @JCollingsworth3
Mike Meals was born and raised in West Central Ohio, where he attended high school with tBBC's own Brandon Zimmerman and like most of you, he hated Brandon when they first met too! (luckily for both, that changed enough that they served in each other's weddings as Best Man). After attending The Defiance College, Mike has lived all over the country, from Ohio to California to Florida. Mike currently live in the Houston, Texas area with his wife, where he works as an insurance agent. That life causes him issues, as he wears Khakis like Jake, but hates them because an idiot in Ann Arbor wears them too. Mike prides himself on being loud, opinionated, and a die-hard Buckeye fan. You can follow his twitter rants here as @mmeals, but you have been warned.
As the founder of The Buckeye Battlecry in 2006, Jeff attended The Ohio State University in the late 1980's (yeah, he's old).
His fondest memory of Ohio State football is being in attendance for Earle Bruce's final game as head coach. He went up to Ann Arbor with "Block O" and saw Chris Spielman and the Buckeyes beat Michigan 23-20. After the game ended, he rushed the field, and on his way back to the bus, he and two friends swiped a maize-colored parking barrier from the Michigan Stadium parking lot, and he carved the date and final score into his portion of it. The statute of limitations has expired on that crime, so suck it.
He has a daughter, Charlotte, who attended her first game for her 8th birthday. The Bucks won 44-3.
Jeff took his fancy book-learnin' at Ohio State, combined it with his years of writing here at tBBC, and snagged himself a job over at Fox Sports Ohio covering Ohio Sports and getting you the info you need before you know you need it.
Clair describes herself as a Buckeye nut, who was born and raised in the Buckeye state with lots to prove- "I play sports, I follow sports and most of all I love to write about sports!" She's a former "Fan Girl" on 97.1 The Fan and was a contributor at Buckeye Banter. When she's not following sports, she's also an NPC figure competitor and a fitness instructor that loves to cook healthy meals for my family. Follow her on Facebook and on twitter: @aclaircrawford
Jim was born in Columbus and raised in NE Ohio. He graduated from The Ohio State University in 2008 and earned a masters degree in 2010.
He currently lives and works in Columbus.
His focus is on Ohio State football year round, including recruiting, but he will talk about other things if he really has to, but rarely on twitter:@James_Carmean
Ken was raised in east-central Ohio and graduated from Muskingum University (nee College) in 1973. He has lived in the Buffalo, NY area since the mid-70's, obtaining his MBA from Canisius College in the 80's. He works in the logistics field and is counting the days until he can golf full-time. Crediting a proper upbringing, Ken is a lifelong Ohio State fan. As well as Browns, Indians and Cavs… He's happily married to a very understanding wife and has an adult son, also a fervent Buckeye fan, who obviously had a proper upbringing as well. Somehow, he found his way to twitter at @KenKohl1… We think he got lost looking for eBay or something.
Robby Donoho is a 2011 graduate of Purdue University, growing up playing high school basketball in the Heartland of Hoops (that's Indiana for those who aren't familiar with that phrase). You probably know him better by his abilities as a video editor on his YouTube channel 'RobbyDKitchel'.
He's a Buckeye at birth, coming from a family that has Ohio State roots dating back all the way to his great-grandparents. And yes, Robby is used to the heckling he takes from his family and friends for having dual citizenship within both Purdue and Ohio State camps. He still remembers his first Buckeye game at the Horseshoe, where Eddie George ran wild against Notre Dame.
Robby currently resides in the heart of SEC country as the weekend sports anchor for WCBI-TV in Columbus, Mississippi. He longs for Saturday's at the 'Shoe singing along to Carmen Ohio while enjoying a Buckeye victory and the legendary stadium mustard hot dogs.
You can follow Robby and his occasional witty Tweets @RobbyDKitchel
Ohio State's own Janelle is a junior who is majoring in Sports Industry and Business at the greatest University in the world (fact). Born and raised in Central Pennsylvania to a family of primarily Penn State fans, she is eternally grateful that her mom showed her the truth and guided her to the Scarlet and Gray. She currently took her talents to Floriday, where she's pursuing her graduate degree, and can't wait for kickoff each week. In what's sure to be a source of consternation at tBBC cookouts, she's an avid Steelers fan. We are equal opportunity employers hereabouts. She loves her some twitter… see for yourself.
Joe Laing graduated with an Engineering degree in 2008 from the Ohio State University, and currently works both at the Shoe and the Schott. Married for 2 years, Joe currently resides in Blacklick, Ohio.
Writing from our Los Angeles affiliate, MaliBuckeye posts whenever he's not stuck in traffic. Oh, and he's the one responsible for the 140 characters of chaos at the main tBBC twitter account.
Having grown up in west-central Ohio, he played and coached college football at the NCAA D3 level. Somehow, this launched him into a career in higher education, and he is in his eleventh year working in Student Life.
Husband of a Nebraska fan (yeah, it's been tense lately), proud father of a seven year old who could sing "Carmen Ohio" since she was 18th months and a fourteen year old who doesn't understand American football but knows enough to cheer for the Buckeyes (there's ice cream involved). She also no longer likes the color blue. 'Nuff said.
He misses the sounds and sights of midwestern autumns, although January in Pasadena is a pretty good replacement.
Eric grew up a Buckeye fan, having been born to a pair of Ohio State graduates. He decided to continue the family tradition and attended Ohio State University from 2002 to 2006 as an undergraduate. As much of his time in school was spent studying the football and basketball teams as was spent on his academics – which may be why he didn't have time for anything else. He recently completed his PhD at Michigan State University where he remained vocal in his support of the Bucks, much to the annoyance of his neighbors. You can follow him on twitter @ErictBBC.
Jason Winrow is an alumni of both the University and of the football team, having lettered from 1990-1993, when he was All Big Ten in his senior season. Following college, he was a part of the New York Giants franchise under coach Dan Reeves.
After his NFL career, Jason began exploring entrepreneurial opportunities with hopes to return to the world of college sports as a journalist or commentator. You may have seen him on the Ohio News Network's Wall to Wall on Monday and again on Saturday night, on ONN's Buckeye Blitz on Tuesday, and the Qfm96 Buckeye Break on Thursday morning. He provided reflections and insights into the larger world of college sports, and covered the national sports scene. He also wrote at his own site- "The State Of College Football" and on twitter: @jasonwinrow68.
Jason passed away unexpectedly in September of 2012.
Former Lantern staffer Tim Shoemaker is originally from Youngstown, Ohio and graduated from Ohio State with a bachelor's degree in journalism in June of 2011. He's a huge Indians/Browns/Cavaliers fan (glutton for punishment) as well as all things Ohio State. After leaving tBBC for a gig at the The Ashland Times-Gazette, he's now the basketball reporter for Eleven Warriors. You can follow him on twitter @TimShoemaker, particularly if you want to argue whether or not "The Wire" is the greatest television show of all-time.
DaveR lived in Cleveland all of his life outside of the 2yrs he lived in Columbus. While he didn't go to school there – he certainly partied like someone who did. He loves Cleveland and Ohio State sports a ton… too much sometimes. He also loves defending the cities and sports when he's on the road because people love to hate Ohio. He's never short on opinions and love to share them- Sometimes getting too passionate about certain topics but is pretty self-aware so he usually can curb that. He comes from a great Italian family so me being loud and passionate is drawn from that. Also a huge music fan – anything but country- and loves discovering bands new or old, but is not in love with this whole Indie movement. Dang hipsters.
Rob Harley was a member of the 2002 National Championship team. He was a three-time letter winner at strong safety and during his time on the team, the Buckeyes went 50-13, winning two Big Ten Championships and a National Championship in 2002.
Rob's work with ABC 6 have showcased his talent and abilities off the field and behind the microphone, and his work with Harley Helping Hands carries on the legacy of "Paying It Forward" that coaches Hayes and Tressel have instilled into Ohio State Football.
Rob's great-great uncle was Chic Harley, Ohio State's first 3-time All-American and to whom Ohio Stadium is nicknamed after "The House That Harley Built."
Rob is currently the linebackers coach at Florida International University; we still love him though. Prior to that, he coached at Michigan State University, Ohio Dominican University, and worked as an analyst on ESPN3.
Chris Schmidbauer was born and raised in Northwest Ohio, and during his time protecting the border from Michiganders, Chris became a Buckeye fanatic. While his athletic talents were never good enough to garner a scholarship, Chris found the next best way to be a part of Ohio State football. He was a student manager from 2001-2005 with the football team, and he gained two championship rings, tons of Ohio State clothing, and memories to last a lifetime. He has been in journalism for the past five years working for a few different publications, and is currently a co-host of Odd Couple Sports Show on Fox Sports Radio 1230 WCWA. Chris and his wife are located in Toledo where he now lives and works.
Dave is an occasional contributor to this site, and has been there for his real-life little brother when Jeff needed his writing skills. Dave's name will pop up from time to time as an author.
Dave graduated from Case Western Reserve University in 1988, and married his college sweetheart two months later. He has two kids, Jake and Julie.
Gary is married and father to a wonderful son. When he's not working and spending time with the family you can find him watching, playing or officiating sports (softball, football, and basketball). Besides being a part of Buckeye Nation, he is a Cleveland and Columbus Blue Jacket fan Writing about sports has always been a dream of his, so you can follow him in 140 characters or less @3ebgary.
Born and raised in the Buckeye state, a lifelong Buckeye fan, Jason simply bleeds scarlet and grey. "Pounding out aggression turned in to obsession" this Youngstown (Struthers) native brings a unique look at our Buckeyes and the world of college sports. And he's only slightly infatuated with Metallica, but don't let that scare you off! You can tweet at him here: @ScriptOhio

The Little Church that Could: The Point Pleasant Village Designer House with Big Shoulders
Point Pleasant, Pennsylvania, a small community with big dreams, is inspired by the actions of Point Pleasant Baptist Church's selflessness to rejuvenate the town in an unusual way.
Yet Point Pleasant might have a corner on that statistic as the entire district was entered on the National Register of Historic Places in September, 1989. Back in the 18th and 19th century it was a commercial and transportation epicenter as well as a fun fishing and summer resort area in the late 19th and early 20th century. Point Pleasant even had a coach maker, blacksmith, cobbler and three lumber and grain merchants by 1860.
With all this history it is no surprise that the Point Pleasant Baptist Church had a parsonage built in the mid-1800's. Which got parishoner, Debi Hutwelker, thinking back in January. What was her inspiration to get the work done on the 1800's canal home? Simply put - a designer house.
Debi managed to convice the 100 or so members of her church, then the entire community that they could save the church hundreds of thousands of dollars, without going into debt, by hosting a designer house.
Do you know what happened? Well Point Pleasant Village Baptist Church is the little church that could because they now have a true collaboration for all to see and appreciate. As of September 1st the first Point Pleasant Village Designer House opened. It is a benefit for both the church and the Village of Point Pleasant, Pennsylvania.
Proof positive that there is strength in numbers. The committee put the word out regarding the selection process, opened the house in April then accepted design boards with an explanation of who the designer thought would live in the room, why they made their selections while including pictures, fabric and paint samples and scale layouts for the room all by the first week in May. Shortly thereafter, a week, the selection committee made the thank you calls to those awarded rooms and not.
Right after the committee hosted an empty house preview on July 10th the designers along with their contracts, painters, electricians and crew were working right up until the last minute to meet the tight deadline. Oh, let's not forget during this time we had hurricane Irene which left the parsonage without electricity thru 2:00 pm the day before opening, a tornado, earthquake and almost 8" of rain!
Thus trees on wires, mud and rock slides which had all but one road open for visitors to see the designer house are small hinderances requiring prayer from the parishoners.
Now that the first visitors from Lancaster County (yes, they read about it on VisitPa) have gone through the Point Pleasant Village Designer House join the 114 or so people who were willing to take a chance to help the little church that showed it takes a village to put together a designer house with big shoulders.
The designers, including Deborah Smith of collaborativE Synergies, LLC reflects the view of the designers when she said, "this is an exciting way to help a great charity with lofty ideals and I look forward to my small part to help revive the canal house and Village of Point Pleasant, Pennsylvania especially since it is so close to home."
The Point Pleasant Village Designer House located at 34 River Road, Point Pleasant, Pennsylvania is a quintessential Bucks County 1800's modest canal house in bucolic Bucks County. Anticipate visiting the house as you drive under a canopy of old trees on a road that follows the undulating curves of the Delaware River while passing restaurants, wineries, b & b's and art galleries. Most fall in love with the leisurely drive from Philadelphia, New York City and New Jersey.
Check out the quaint village and the designer house thru September 25th, Thursday thru Saturday, 10:00 to 6:00 or Sundays 1:00 to 6:00. Tours are $17 at the door. Guests have the ability to purchase furniture and accessories in each of the rooms which further benefits the church and village. Visit the website, www.ppdhouse.org, for more information, the five seminar schedules or extended dates thru October 9th for group tours.
Point Pleasant Village invites you to their sleepy little historic hamlet to check out their canal houses as the weather and leaves change as the designers bring new color in their corner of paradise.

News: Lottery bid plans will be outside Sainsbury's, Beckenham High Street, on Wednesday 6th July 9.30 to 11.30 and at Lewisham Peoples Day, Mountsfield Park, Catford.
Here are the results of the Friends park user survey which closed in early December 2015 and has been sent to Lewisham Council and the Mayor, Sir Steve Bullock, hopefully the results will be considered when a decision is made regarding the Golf Course in BPP and other aspects of the Lottery funding plans for the park. Significantly the closure of the golf course is strongly disapproved of by users whether golfers or not. However, Lewisham Council officers and councillors disregard opinion.
New History article, Mansion plasterwork, click here
Park Lottery Bid, progress report in the newsletter.
Lewisham Council have put an amended masterplan on their website see this and information on 'The Future ' page and in recent newsletters.
We suggest that if you want to make written representations to the Council you write to Gavin Plaskitt, London Borough of Lewisham, Rushey Green, Catford, SE6 and if possible copy your letter to the Mayor, Sir Steve Bullock.
Various surveys on Topography, environmental impact, species surveys etc are being carried out in preparation of the Stage 2 bid. A consultation process will begin soon so look out for information regarding this. Comments can still be made to Lewisham Council via firstname.lastname@example.com
Closure of the Golf Course proposed by the Lottery bid has prompted a Save Beckehham 18 campaign to prevent closure. search Google for it, there is an online petition, website, facebook and twitter presence. Closure of the course would deny more than 500 park users access to golf locally and this decision is based on the preference of about 60 people in a survey of people who dont use the park.
Environment Agency flood alleviation scheme, Anxiety grows regarding progress, no news yet but see this pdf document.
Information has been received that the scheme is making some progress within the EA as consultants are being tendered for a next stage. Some anxiety has been expressed that this scheme is not yet confirmed and that if it does not go ahead then one half of the park will be left without some resources. I wouldn't say 'investment' as there would be no financial return anyway, but the infrastructure of the Downham side of the park is being allowed to deteriorate on the assumption that the EA scheme will restore the play area, paths, demolish old buildings etc. We don't oppose the scheme in principal but want to see what's proposed and ensure that improvements are included without destroying this almost natural stretch of the Ravensbourne. More information on 'The Future' page link and recent newsletters.
Lewisham Parks Forum a group made up of representatives of park Friends groups, for example Friends of: Chinbrook Meadows, Ladywell Fields, Telegraph Hill, Blythe Hill Fields, Hilly Fields, Sydenham Wells, Home Park, Mayow Park to mention a few. The Forum will address issues and problems arising in park use and management. See the Forum page and newsletters.

Artist Dana Schutz at MIAD tonight
Artist Dana Schutz, known for her lushly painted grotesques and bizarre situations, is one of the most intriguing artists working in America today. Coming off of a critically acclaimed traveling retrospective, Schutz is visiting the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design this week and will speak publicly about her work Tuesday evening.
Schutz once told an interviewer she was hesitant to translate her strange artistic visions from drawings into paint. She was worried the work might be garish or "hugely embarrassing." »Read Full Blog Post(2)

> If you had only one powder ?
October 17, 2012, 06:15 PM
If you had only one powder and had to load 9mm, 357 mag, and 45acp, what would it be ? Not looking for the best for each caliber, just what would be your choice if you only had one. My vote would be hp-38.

For handgun loads, it seems like I can find load data for Unique for almost everything.
October 17, 2012, 06:31 PM
Unique. Not the cleanest burning, but works well in just about any handgun caliber.
October 17, 2012, 06:38 PM
Bullseye. The 357 ammo is going to be on the wimpy side, but otherwise it will work great in all three. Actually there really isn't going to be a powder that will give maximum power from the 357 and still work in the 9mm and 45ACP.
October 17, 2012, 06:39 PM
Unique works well in a lot of pistol cartridges.
It also can be used for cast bullets in many rifle shells, and in certain shotgun shells.
Overall Unique is a very versital powder that also performs very well.
If I could only have one powder for everything, I'd chose Unique.
October 17, 2012, 06:54 PM
Power pistol is another good all around powder. I use it for everything from 9mm to .500 S&W.
October 17, 2012, 06:56 PM
Unique. For the same reasons everyone else listed.
October 17, 2012, 07:09 PM
Another vote for Unique. It will load most any of the pistol round I have.
lil dragon
October 17, 2012, 07:12 PM
I'm a firm believer in 231.
October 17, 2012, 07:24 PM
Bullseye or Unique.
October 17, 2012, 07:29 PM
Close one. I like HP38, too. But I think I would go with Unique. For starters, it's a little cheaper. It would give better case fill on 357 and 45ACP. And it can go mild to wild on the semiauto calibers with a little more top end range than HP38.
It also can be used for cast bullets in many rifle shells, and in certain shotgun shells. Yeah, there's loads of unique data for Unique. It could be just because it's been around so long and caught on early. But I think the bulk and ease of ignition are probably good attributes in this regard.
October 17, 2012, 07:31 PM
October 17, 2012, 08:32 PM
Universal Clays - as close to Unique as Unique, without the dirty burn
October 17, 2012, 08:35 PM
Winchester 231 is the powder
October 17, 2012, 08:36 PM
October 17, 2012, 08:40 PM
AA2 or AA5. Plenty of load data for both. They also meter very well.
October 17, 2012, 08:48 PM
W-231, AA #5, or Unique, if I just have to stick with one, but I won't. :)
October 17, 2012, 09:10 PM
Truly only one? Unique, by the 8# keg.
October 17, 2012, 09:12 PM
W-231, AA #5, or Unique, if I just have to stick with one, but I won't.
When I bought my first handgun I bought a certain gun because it "would cover all the bases and I wont need another." Yeah right. Then when I got into reloading I bought a certain powder "because it works in everything and I eont need another." Now I have a ton of powders. Making the best ammo became more important than just makin any ammo.
October 17, 2012, 09:18 PM
I don't load 357, but for 9mm, 40, 44mag and 45 ACP Longshot is the speed king, especially with heavier bullets. Second place would have to go to Blue Dot or Unique.
October 17, 2012, 09:19 PM
I like HP-38 (aka Win-231) in nearly everything.
October 17, 2012, 09:25 PM
October 17, 2012, 09:26 PM
Unique or Bullseye.
Keep the pressures up if you don't want blowback, sooty cases and unburned flakes.
Bullseye is a little more smokey/sooty, but about 20% more economical at full power loads than Unique.
Hodgdon Clays is the best powder for light target loads. Builds up pressure fast without building up muzzle velocity. Trail Boss is OK, but costs much more and you may not get enough recoil to cycle autoloaders.
October 17, 2012, 09:30 PM
I'd say Unique from experience, but I am really itching to try HP-38/Win231.
I have heard nothing but good things about the HP-38/Win231.
October 17, 2012, 09:47 PM
win 231
chris in va
October 17, 2012, 09:51 PM
Universal. Smaller flakes and cleaner than Unique.
October 17, 2012, 10:07 PM
Win 231 or H38 same powder.
October 17, 2012, 10:15 PM
Bullseye, then W231.

October 17, 2012, 11:15 PM
In fact I DO only have one powder - Win 231/HP-38 - I use it for the 4 different calibers I presently reload.
October 17, 2012, 11:28 PM
b money
October 17, 2012, 11:52 PM
unique. As someone else stated I am just starting to get into the perfect ammo not just any ammo. so my experience with numerous powders is somewhat limited but so far unique has performed great in every caliber I've loaded
October 18, 2012, 12:14 AM
For me it would be W231 (HP-38). It's the only handgun powder I buy 8 lbs at a time.
Unique has been around for a lot longer so many will tell you Unique and they wouldn't be wrong. Universal is the Hodgdon clone for Unique and will work just as well but it meters better and it's cleaner burning.
Back in the Elmer Keith days the original "Powder Trinity" was Bullseye, Unique and 2400 and you can load any handgun caliber very well with those 3 powders and some rifle calibers too.
My "Powder Trinity" is a little different. Instead of using Hercules powders I like Winchester powders. W231 (HP-38), W540 (HS-6) and W296 (H110) are the 3 powders I use most and I can load any handgun caliber very well with those 3.
IMO, W231(HP-38), AA#5, Unique, Universal and probably True Blue can all fill the "only 1 powder" slot quite well. I'm sure a similar burn rate VihtaVuori powder will also fill the bill, I just don't know enough about their powders to name it. (yes I could use the chart but I don't like making recommendations without first hand knowledge)
October 18, 2012, 01:25 AM
I use HP38,Bullseye, and AA#5 either one would work.
October 18, 2012, 02:42 AM
Bullseye... cuz it has other uses.
October 18, 2012, 03:27 AM
For my needs a minimum of two or three powders are required for my handguns.
Trying the one size fits all approach would leave me with crappy reloads. I reload to shoot ammunition I enjoy to shoot, at less cost and better accuracy than most factory ammo.
I once had a fly/spin cast fishing rod, it did both poorly.
October 18, 2012, 04:14 AM
Unique for last 30+ years
October 18, 2012, 04:49 AM
Bullseye. I actually used some in 357 at around 6.5 grains with a 158g lswc. They were no slouch!!! They felt hotter than the equivalent unique and cleaner burning IMO. Not quite as hot as 7.5g unique with 158g jacketed but close, I would call it a medium or moderate magnum load. Also use it in 9mm and 38.
October 18, 2012, 09:10 AM
Bullseye first, 231 second.
October 18, 2012, 09:43 AM
Won't do it because one is a magnum. I use W231 for all my pistol loads except magnums. For that I use H110. I can't shoot powder puff loads out of magnums :(

W231 / HP-38 if I could have only one
The Bushmaster
October 18, 2012, 09:59 AM
I don't have to pick just one powder in this day and age and I don't. But...If I must...W-231.
HP-38 and W-231 are NOT the same. Many of my load manuals prove it.
October 18, 2012, 10:14 AM
Definitely Unique, although I have a .45ACP instead of a 9mm, and don't know how Unique performs in a 9mm.
October 18, 2012, 10:49 AM
Easy, Red Dot.
October 18, 2012, 10:49 AM
HP-38 and W-231 are NOT the same. Many of my load manuals prove it.
Your manuals are most likely old. The older data is indeed different. W231/HP-38 have been the same for years. They come from the same hopper in the same manufacturing plant. The only difference is the labeling. You pay a premium for the Winchester name. The powder manufacturer has addressed this issue already.

Lyman's 48th Edition is old?
October 18, 2012, 11:32 AM
Lyman's 49th come out in 2008. I don't know when the 48th came out.
Yes, with each edition things change. I don't know if that means the powders change or if it is testing or liability issues that bring about the changes. I suspect the later. In any event, we probably would be wise to use current data. I know manuals are expensive and I don't buy a new one that often, but look for data online from bullet and powder manufacturers.

Actually I pay exactly the same every 1lb. container of powder in my lgs regardless of what it is is $21.99, 4lb. containers are $59.99, and 8lb. containers are $119.99. I'm guessing that they get a price break because they order so much I'll bet they have 10 containers of each size of each powder on the shelves at all times, and who knowd how much they've got in the back.
October 18, 2012, 12:40 PM
Except that they are.
Looking at all the data, 231 and 231 are not the same.
October 18, 2012, 12:56 PM
October 18, 2012, 01:11 PM
Years ago, HP38 and W231 were two different powders, manufactured by two different companies.
Currently, all HP38 & W231 is manufactured by St. Marks powder company in Florida, and packaged and distributed by Hodgdon.
So, today, it is the exact same powder, coming out of the same shipping containers.
And that is reflected by identical reloading data for both from Hodgdon in recent manuals and on the web.
The same is true of these:
Sudden Impact
October 18, 2012, 04:03 PM
Don't even have to think twice...W231 all the way!
October 18, 2012, 04:12 PM
I would have to say power pistol with unique being a close second. I say power pistol because you can get top velocitys out of the 9mm and 45, and it will get a 357 moving pretty good.
October 18, 2012, 04:13 PM
Another vote for Unique or Universal. Im curious about universal.. I keep hearing it meters better, but unique meters perfectly out of my PM (literlly 100 out of 100 perfect throws).
October 18, 2012, 04:18 PM
Bullseye, Unique, or Herco. It would be tough to choose one over the other.
.357 in the line-up stacks the deck towards Herco, but max loads of the others will work too.
October 18, 2012, 10:00 PM
I've become a fan of HS-6 lately, and it works in all the calibers mentioned. It burns clean too.
October 18, 2012, 10:14 PM
In the calibers you mentioned and then some, Ramshot True Blue it will do anything the other powders mentioned will do with equal or better performance. It meters exceptionally well because it is a dense fine grained ball powder which may very well contribute to the low standard deviations you can expect to get. ;)
October 18, 2012, 10:23 PM
I have to say UNIQUE.I use it in my 380ACP.9mm Luger,357 mag and 40S&W.Enough said.
October 19, 2012, 02:32 AM
Are HP38 and W231 the same?
Rather than arguing, go to the source.
If anyone would know, it's Hodgdon, they market Hodgdon and Winchester powders (along with IMR).
Look at their online data, charge weights, velocities and pressures are all identical.
Don't take our word for it, go look for yourself.
October 19, 2012, 11:42 PM
Unique. It's dirty but I clean my gun anyway.
October 20, 2012, 12:18 PM
When I started reloading a few years back I decided that one possibile way of finding out if HP-38/Win 231 was the same was to e-mail directly to Hodgdon.
One of their techs was kind enough to reply that as has been stated.....and stated....and stated....and stated - LOL- YES! - they are the same powder and any published load for one will work for the other.
There are a few Win/HP combination pairs that are the same, I just can't locate my list. HP-38/Win 231 is the only powder I use for 4 calibers.
Peter M. Eick
October 20, 2012, 05:23 PM
Unique for me. Not the best, but it can work in everything from 380 auto up to 357 Maximum.
October 20, 2012, 09:54 PM
Unique is not my favored powder however it does seem to propel just about anything and do it reasonably well at even near the ends of its useful spectrum.
October 21, 2012, 06:58 AM
For me it would be HP-38 or AA #5
October 21, 2012, 07:06 AM
+1 for Unique with Power Pistol next. 9mm, 38/357, 45LC love that stuff!
October 22, 2012, 09:43 AM
Bluedot, 1 size fits all, I load 9mm, 357, 45ACP, 5.56, 7.62X39, 30-30, 243, 308, 45LC, having said that, I prefer to use IMR4064 for the 5.56 and 7.63X39, but Bluedot in the rest, and Bluedot will work fine even in these.

October 22, 2012, 06:51 PM
October 22, 2012, 11:18 PM
Ramshot Silouette!
Similar to Unique in burn rate but very clean and low flash.
Works well in +P loadings for 9mm and 38 special, he'll I've even used it in 9x25 Dillon!
October 23, 2012, 07:27 AM
Unique by far. I'm loading 9mm and .380 and about to start .357 mag. Great all around powder.
October 23, 2012, 10:31 AM
Unique, and as long as you keep your pressures off of the low end in 45acp it will burn pretty clean too.
October 23, 2012, 11:09 AM
Unique. There's a reason for the name.
Oh, and it haas been widely reported for years that HP-38 and 231 are the same powder. The differences in the loading manuals are part of the same variability of gun/production lot/human operator that causes different manuals to show wildly different max loads for the same powders. That's especially true of some of the older manuals where the testing was so highly dependent on 'eyeball' pressure readings and less on objective transducer data.
October 24, 2012, 08:34 PM
the first powder i used was W231 to load for 45 auto will always have this on hand it works in 5 of the 6 hand guns i load for and the 1 it don't is 44 mag but it might you never know. good all around powder.
October 24, 2012, 11:06 PM
HP-38 and W-231 are NOT the same. Many of my load manuals prove it.
Your manuals are most likely old. The older data is indeed different. W231/HP-38 have been the same for years.
Lyman's 48th Edition is old?
Lyman's 49th come out in 2008. I don't know when the 48th came out.
Years ago, HP38 and W231 were two different powders, manufactured by two different companies.
Currently, all HP38 & W231 is manufactured by St. Marks powder company in Florida, and packaged and distributed by Hodgdon.
So, today, it is the exact same powder, coming out of the same shipping containers.
My Lyman #49 still shows different powder charges for W231/HP-38 but my guess is that the average chamber pressure data may not be recent as Hodgdon and Winchester load data have been the same since 2006 (see below 2006 load data).
This is from Hodgdon's company history page - http://www.hodgdon.com/history.html
In March 2006, Hodgdon Powder Company and Winchester® Ammunition announced that Winchester® branded reloading powders would be licensed to Hodgdon. Winchester smokeless propellants, the choice of loading professionals, are available to the handloader to duplicate the factory performance of loads from handgun to rifle and shotgun.
My guess is that after 2006, W231 and HP-38 became the same as indicated by 2006 Winchester and Hodgdon load data as the two load data already show exactly the same barrel lengths, cases, primers, OALs, powder charges, velocities and CUP/PSI - http://www.castpics.net/LoadData/Freebies/default.html
October 25, 2012, 07:39 AM
I'd use H110 and throw my 9mm and .45ACP dies out lol. Ok. If I had to use one for all it would be Unique.
October 25, 2012, 04:03 PM
This should have been a poll :D Another vote for Unique.
October 25, 2012, 04:57 PM
Universal. Mid range .357 loads and full power .45 auto.
October 25, 2012, 05:35 PM
One powder? Black.
The question is answered. It's time to close the thread, pack up our gear, and go home, right?
(Ok, fine... If for some reason it needs to be a smokeless powder, then Bullseye. Or Blue Dot.)
October 26, 2012, 12:31 AM
Universal Clays - as close to Unique as Unique, without the dirty burn
Agree, it also meters better
October 26, 2012, 12:37 AM
Universal is cleaner and meters better, but real Unique works better at the top end, and any weight variations from the powder measure don't seem to make much difference.
October 26, 2012, 01:25 AM
October 26, 2012, 01:46 AM
WSF would be a good one for those three if you're OK with loading the .357 without any published load data. (it's such a great powder, i don't know why Hodgdon doesn't promote it more.)
October 26, 2012, 03:03 PM
I haven't used a lot of the other powders mentioned so far, but Unique has been sevring me well for a number of years.
November 16, 2012, 04:35 AM
Power Pistol - because you said 357 and not 38 spl.
W231 - If you said 38 spl and not 357 mag. But you didn't, you said 357 mag.
November 16, 2012, 05:38 AM
November 16, 2012, 07:01 AM
Unique as well
November 16, 2012, 02:55 PM
I'd probably have to go with Unique as well, simply because there seems to be more load data for it in so many different pistol calibers. It's not really a star in many calibers, but it'll get the job done in almost any.
November 16, 2012, 06:03 PM
Universal Clays - as close to Unique as Unique, without the dirty burn
Agreed! It also meters better.
November 16, 2012, 11:42 PM
Bullseye or power pistol for me

AUSTIN - The Randall Raiders have established themselves as contenders after Friday's opening rounds of the state wrestling tournament at the Delco Center.
Computer issues prevented scores of the 101 boys teams from being released, but Randall coach David Quirino's math put Randall in front with a 51½-46 lead over Arlington Bowie.
Randall made itself known to the 1,800 fans by winning six of nine first-round matches, including 119-pound freshman Michiel Roberts' victory against perennial contender Kris Demont of Arlington Bowie.
"I was nervous," Roberts said. "I wrestled that kid before and only beat him by a point."
The match appeared as if it would go to the wire as the first period was scoreless.
"I knew I had to step up and score," Roberts said.
Demont, however, got the first points early in the second period.
It didn't take long for Roberts to respond, scoring with a reversal and taking control about 20 seconds later. "He knows how to fight off his back," Roberts said of his previous match with Dermont.
Demont failed to fight off his back this time, getting pinned with 45 seconds remaining in the second period.
It was great to start out strong," Quirino said. "Michiel had a good match against a good kid and pulled it off."
Quirino credits a solid first round to the Raiders' position.
"We won six of nine matches, and on five of those we earned bonus points for either pinning our opponent or earning a major decision," Quirino said. "I am all about the bonus points. You never know when an extra point may come in handy."
Randall 112-pounder Victor Dotson became the first of four Raiders to advance to today's semifinals with a 15-2 quarterfinal victory against Eric Thomas of Austin Bowie. Also reaching the semifinals for Randall were Roberts, Jace Bennett (152 pounds) and Joseph Flores (189).
Joey Sykes (171) had a quarterfinal for the ages - a rematch against Arlington Bowie's Chris Brooks. The two met at the state duals Jan. 19, with Brooks winning, 6-5. Quirino said the winning takedown came late in the match.
It was deja vu for Sykes. The Randall senior led by as many as eight points, but Brooks clawed his way back into contention, bringing the crowd to its feet.
"There are no excuses for giving up a lead that big," said Sykes, who had a two-point lead with 10 seconds remaining in the third and final period in regulation before Brooks made a diving double-leg takedown and appeared to be out of bounds as time expired.
"I took it to him for two periods. In the third period I let it slip out of my hands."
After deliberation, the head official ruled a takedown, sending the match into overtime.
"I should have never let him get that close for a call like that to matter," Sykes said. "There are no excuses for losing that match."
Sykes was unable to generate much offensive pressure, and Brooks took advantage, tripping Sykes for a takedown to earn two points and the win.
"Had we lost that match, I think Randall would have run away with the title," Arlington Bowie coach David Nugett said. "But we condition our guys to be able to outlast others in the third period, and that's what won us the match."
Randall's only other senior, Cody Dudding (180), lost in his quarterfinal.
"It's heartbreaking," Quirino said. "But they are Raiders. Raiders battle back and do everything they can. I am confident they can battle through the back side of the bracket and get us some valuable points.
Despite his two seniors moving into the consolation bracket, Quirino is confident about his team's title chances.
"It's time for Plan B," Quirino said. "Our guys on the back side can battle back, and we have a shot at 112 to go head to head with Bowie in the finals. This isn't over."
Also Friday:
Tascosa's Collin Brown remained undefeated in the 145-pound division. Brown pinned Spencer Temple of Klein in the first round and defeated Thomas Mullen of Arlington Bowie, 12-3, in the second round. In the first period against Mullen, Brown was up 3-1, and Mullen attempted a takedown. Brown reversed the would-be takedown and turned it into a fireman's-carry takedown to end the period up 5-1. Brown just toyed with Mullen before earning the major decision. Jacob Bevington advanced for the Rebels in the 160-pound division.
Borger's Oscar Hernandez advanced to the semifinals in the 103-pound division with a 10-0 decision against Alex Gilpin of San Antonio Reagan and a 3-2 defeat of The Woodlands College Park's Stephen Contreras.
Of Caprock's six qualifiers, only Chris Contreras (130) remains on the championship side of the bracket.
Hereford qualified three for the state tournament, and only Jose Alvarez (160) remains in title contention.
District 5 champion Dumas' two qualifiers failed to advance on the championship side of the bracket.
Amarillo High's three qualifiers did not advance to the semifinals.

Anti-Zionist Nir Rosen resigns from LSE, after two days
Nir Rosen has resigned his new position at LSE
Pro-Hizbollah journalist Nir Rosen has resigned from a controversial fellowship at LSE, just days after announcing his appointment.
Mr Rosen, a staunch anti-Zionist, announced on Friday that he had been appointed a Fellow at LSE's Centre for Global Governance.
He was widely criticised in February for comments he made about the sexual assault of CBS reporter Lara Logan.
But today an LSE spokesman said: "Nir Rosen today resigned his temporary visiting fellowship at LSE - which was an unpaid position. LSE had already made clear it condemned the offensive comments he made about Lara Logan and others."
New York-born Mr Rosen, who spent two years reporting from Iraq and now lives in Lebanon, has called for the dismantling of Israel. In a 2008 Guardian column he wrote: "You cannot be prime minister of Israel without enough Arab blood on your hands."
In an earlier article for Counterpunch in 2002, he wrote: "I find myself in the unique and painful position of calling for international sanctions against Israel and wondering if a punitive bombing of Tel Aviv, the city I love, until it complies with international law, might be a good (albeit quixotic) idea." He has also repeatedly claimed Hizbollah are not terrorists.
But it was comments in February about CBS reporter Lara Logan, after she was sexually assaulted in Egypt, which led to his resignation from NYU. He compared her to CNN reporter Anderson Cooper, who was attacked covering the protests. Mr Rosen wrote: "Lara Logan had to outdo Anderson." Later he tweeted: "Jesus Christ, at a moment when she is going to become a martyr and glorified we should at least remember her role as a major war monger."
He resigned as a fellow at NYU's Centre of Law and Security after apologising for the comments.

Skip to comments.Judge Anne Diggs Taylor rules against FDR
Posted on 08/20/2006 9:26:23 PM PDT by Sergeant Tim
In his first Inaugural Address, March 4, 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt said:
This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itselfnameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory.
Fear itself was Judge Anne Diggs Taylors lone justification for granting standing to the plaintiffs in A.C.L.U. v N.S.A. In her decision, the judge wrote:
Plaintiffs here contend that the TSP [Terrorist Surveillance Program] has interfered with their ability to carry out their professional responsibilities in a variety of ways, including that the TSP has had a significant impact on their ability to talk with sources, locate witnesses, conduct scholarship, engage in advocacy and communicate with persons who are outside of the United States, including in the Middle East and Asia. Plaintiffs have submitted several declarations to that effect All of the Plaintiffs contend that the TSP has caused clients, witnesses and sources to discontinue their communications with plaintiffs out of fear that their communications will be intercepted. They also allege injury based on the increased financial burden they incur in having to travel substantial distances to meet personally with their clients and others relevant to their cases.
The NSA seeks to intercept the enemys communications and not one plaintiff could show they have suffered an injury in fact an invasion of a legally protected interest which is (a) concrete and particularized, and (b) actual or imminent, not conjectural or hypothetical. She decided for the plaintiffs based only upon the plaintiffs well founded belief. Within her decision, the judge points out the September 14, 2001, Joint Resolution of Congress (Senate Resolution 23):
That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.
Perhaps Judge Anne Diggs Taylor just does not know what the meaning of all is. After all, she left out altogether that the Constitution confers all authority to Congress to declare and fund war and to the president to conduct war and no authority at all to the judicial branch in such matters. In order to insert herself, as a federal judge, into matters of war, she had to first confer, by proxy, standing upon the only party actually injured by the Terrorist Surveillance Program: the enemy.
It seems as if Congress authorizing President George W. Bush to injure the enemy has angered the judge. What else explains her, by proxy, granting the injured enemy standing, disregarding FDRs words about fear itself, and granting uninjured plaintiffs standing based solely upon fear? Barring that, the only other possible explanation would be that she made a political decision and we all know a federal judge would never do that.
Judge Diggs Taylors decision would saddle the defense of our nation by this and all future Presidents with an impossible burden. For example, the communications of a person abroad to a terrorist abroad to confirm a hotel reservation could be intercepted yet the communications of a person in the United States to that same terrorist, to confirm that same reservation, could not be intercepted without a warrant. If the NSA were tracking that one lone terrorist, perhaps taking the time before or after the fact to get a warrant would be reasonable. Yet our intelligence agencies are attempting to gather information about the activities and whereabouts of thousands of terrorists, a myriad or organizations, and a worldwide network that must communicate from afar or risk giving away their associations and deadly missions by physically meeting instead.
What explains the joy expressed about this decision by the editors of the New York Times? Their words betray them:
She also offered a scathing condemnation of what lies behind the wiretapping Mr. Bushs attempt to expand his powers to the point that he can place himself beyond the reach of Congress, judges or the Constitution There are no hereditary kings in America and no powers not created by the Constitution, wrote Judge Anna Diggs Taylor of the United States District Court in Detroit. Her decision was based on a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union The ruling eviscerated the absurd notion on which the administrations arguments have been based: that Congress authorized Mr. Bush to do whatever he thinks is necessary when it authorized the invasion of Afghanistan.
Yet in the Times final paragraph are all of the words you need to read to discover why the plaintiffs filed in her court and the judge decided as she did:
one judge in Michigan has done what 535 members of Congress have so abysmally failed to do. She has reasserted the rule of law over a lawless administration.
The American people have successfully directed those empowered by the Constitution to defend our nation since 1789. Yet the New York Times, the ACLU, and activists judges seek to fix what is not broke.
is it ok to be a Republican and love and admire FDR ? i do.
I do also.
He got us through a war that threatened our way of life. Bush is doing that now, but the opposition would rather have our nation harmed than Bush get credit for success. Our domestic enemies are almost as sick as our Islamofascist enemies.
I think he was a great leader and had a lot of guts. he looked out for our troops and he would never have put up with the anti military liberalism of today. he would be furious with the modern democratic party.
he was a good man.
That's a great analysis! Thanks for posting it.
Thanks for the ping...
I love your tagline!
you sound like a liberal talking about Bush.
you sound like a liberal talking about Bush.You took the words right out of my mouth.
Perhaps a better comparison than Bush to FDR would be Liebermann to FDR, despite his running left today suggesting that Rumsfeld resign.
My sentiments exactly! As I recall his wife didn't think much of him as well - after she caught him in bed with her secretary. Never slept with him again.
I seem to recall what Eleanor looked like... of course, that and all that time she spent traipsing all over the world on this cause and that would be irrelavent. Actually, FDR and William J. sound a lot alike.
It appears that some folks on this thread don't like the facts you have presented! They want to stray off topic and attempt to divert the focus on fdr.
Her looks had nothing to do with it - he married her. If his wife couldn't trust him - Who could?
FDR vastly expanded the power of the Federal government and almost destroyed the nation. We are still recovering from new deal programs and legislations to this day. I think he was one of hte worst presidents ever....
Judge Rules Wiretaps of Terrorists Unconstitutional
At the urging of the American Civil Liberties Union, Detroit Judge Anna Diggs Taylor has ordered the Bush Administration to shut down the National Security Agency's wiretapping program. Listening in on someone elses phone calls is impolite, said Taylor. It is an intolerable invasion of privacy.
The judge brushed aside what she snidely referred to as "King Georges" argument that the taps were necessary to keep tabs on the adversaries of the United States. There is no proof that all of the people being spied on are our adversaries, Taylor observed. Even if they are, it would be unfair to spy on them. This would be the equivalent of eavesdropping on the other teams huddle. Its not fair. Our Constitution requires fairness. Its in one of the Amendments somewhere, I think. Therefore, these wiretaps are Unconstitutional.

lol, someone wrote 'SUPREMECOURTSTACKER' in the keywords...
And to that end I beg pardon, as I had no intent to hijack the thread. I think that the article presents an intriguing POV and a valid perspective...
Far worse. The Islamic fascists are hell bent on killing all of us. The domestic enemies would have us all killed for their delusions and power lust.
President Bush should simply pull an 'Andrew Jackson' and completely ignore her ruling.
A Correction was Necessary!
Please read post# 27.....
I also like the fact that FDR had kidnappers, bank robbers and Nazi saboteurs fried.
I admire FDR for only one thing: he successfully led this nation against the killing machines of Japan and Germany during World War II. Regardless of his other political beliefs, he deserves credit for that. Yet none of that is relative to this post. 'Fear itself' and the use of it by those politically opposed to Goerge W. Bush is the point of this thread.
FDR literally gave eastern europe to Stalin like he personally owned it.. His wife was a commie, and Alger Hiss(and Chambers) was a trusted employee of his... FDR was pretty much like our John Conyers.. and his wife resembled Henry Waxman in drag..
Uh Oh. Not another one of them "LIHOP" people .... Ug.
"Our domestic enemies are almost as sick as our Islamofascist enemies."
Agree with Farlander ... the NYT editorial board and their ilk are FAR WORSE. They're a native-born sleeper cell, who should know better.
Do you recall the NYT making the same kind of ruckus when the previous administration took the FBI files of some 900 Americans? Did the ACLU sue over it? I just don't remember.
This old Bit@h is a Carter appointee, for Heaven's sake, what should we expect? An incompetent appoints an incompetent. This was an absolutely absurd ruling. I agree with the author, the only possible injured party she could find is the "enemy".
No, actually I agree with him on all but the allegation about Pearl Harbor. He's right, BUT FDR did guide us through the Second World War and, as such he receives my respect.
DUmocrats are on the same team as the islamonazis...both seek our defeat. If today's politicians, judges, etc. can't understand the WOT then they shouldn't be anywhere near positions of power.
Heheh! Bookmark.
Of course you are correct. It would be simply another exercise at exposing dem hypocrisy. They put Jackson on a pedestal for being such a powerful president, yet would condemn Bush for it.
Examples of dem hypocrisy are far too common, so there no need to do it here. However, I disagree with the administration's approach. They should drop their Patriot Act argument and instead focus on established legal precedent (i.e. the Truong and Keith decisions). Keith was first argued in the same Circuit, so it should be quite easy to illustrate that Judge Taylor's decision overturns the legal precedent established by her very own Circuit Court of Appeals.

Oops. That last one was from the Department of Redundancy Department.
Lone wolf amendment
In 2004, FISA was amended to include a "lone wolf" provision. 50 U.S.C. §1801(b)(1)(C). A "lone wolf" is a non-US person who engages in or prepares for international terrorism. The provision amended the definition of "foreign power" to permit the FISA courts to issue surveillance and physical search orders without having to find a connection between the "lone wolf" and a foreign government or terrorist group.[15]
And beyond the fact that both Carter and Clinton used the old unamended version of FISA for this exact same kind of wire tapping, but in peace time and not against terrorists:
E.O. 12139 - Jimmy Carter's Executive order to provide as set forth in FISA for the authorization of electronic surveillance for foreign intelligence purposes
E.O. 12949 - Bill Clinton's Executive order to provide for the authorization of physical searches for foreign intelligence purposes
Beyond these important points, there is precedent set by FIVE other Judges in FIVE seperate court cases, in which ALL five of those Judges found the NSA wire tapping program was totally legal and constitution, and threw the cases out. That is QUITE compelling, and it's highly doubtful that the appeals court will uphold this pathetic partisan liberal agenda driven rulling by a sub-standard Judge who's sat on the same low court for 27 years. This ruling will only serve to anger many Americans like us and become a conservative talking point to drive more conservatives to the polls to stop these kinds of radical Judges from taking to ANY court, because with a GOP controlled Congress, NO liberal activist Judicial nominee will EVER get out of committee for a floor vote. And THAT is of critical importance, especially has unlikely as it is that Stevens or Ginsburg will make it to the end of Bush's term.
This is so important because the Judiciary effect ALL other major issues. The war (which liberal Judges have inserted themselves into the war), border control, immigration, gay marraige, Abortion, and states rights. All the major issues are effected by the courts and a GOP Congress is CRITICAL to stopping old liberal Judges from being replaced with new liberal Judges.
You have seemed to embraced some dubious theories propogated by crackpot academics. FDR's trying to spend America out of the depression certainly did not prolong it. In fact, it was precisely the right thing to do. If anything, he didn't spend enough. It was only until 1942 that the US fully emerged from the depression. Why? Government spending in the form of military outlays acted as a huge prime pump for the economy. When a depression hits, the solution is to either boost government spending, cut taxes, or expand the money supply, or have both. (Reagan certainly did this in response to the grim recession of the early 1980s.) The Fed cut the money supply in 1929 and Hoover tried to balance the federal budget (the economic theory of the time told him it was the correct thing to do) and the combination of these two measures made the depression significantly worse. In the 1930s, we really didn't have a good handle on how the economy works; hence Roosevelt's experimentation and occasional blunder. It is not to far fetched to argue that Roosevelt essentially saved capitalism and the Constitution in this country.
There is no evidence that Roosevelt wanted Pearl Harbor to occur.

text: Posted July 8, 2014 It was a bit funny that the NY Times critic A. Macauley, indirectly picked up on our Ballet Talk thread in his summary of the ABT season, in effect pointing out the male principal problem at ABT which we have been talking about here for years. I think they were expecting that Hammoudi would step into some of the principal roles by now, but it was clear to me from watching Hammoudi's Rothbart that he is not even remotely ready physically or in any other way to be a leading man. Gorak is their next great prospect, but he needs to work on partnering. In his favor, he took on the Prince in Cinderella on short notice. However, they dumbed down the partnering to assist him. They should not do that in the future. Another problem that has become apparent is that they have two short principal men (Cornejo and Simkin), but they have not taught certain leading roles to their own short ballerinas. Other than Boylston, they did not have an inhouse short ballerina who could dance SL with Cornejo, so when Cojocaru did a last minute cancellation, there was nobody left to fill in. Sarah Lane would have been a great choice, but ..... Now they are teaching O/O to Copeland, who presumably could dance with Herman in the future. (Not thrilled about the proliferation of short people in SL. SL looks better on long limbs.) Share this post Link to post

Baby's head has crooked flat spot
My sweet baby boy Gunther has gotten quite the flat spot on his head. It is complicated by it being not directly on the back like often occurs. From birth he always laid with his head turned about 45 degrees to the left. Maybe he had a sore neck from the birth. Well once the crooked flat spot started, it became pretty much the only way he can rest his head of course, so it seems to be getting worse. I don't want him to feel like he's deformed when he gets older, and I'm even going to be selfconscious about showing him to people if it gets much worse.
I've heard of a Boppy brand "noggin-nest" that is for flat spots, and I'm thinking I should try it.
Hopefully we can have a chiropractor help him, but I will need to find one who does cranial work, and works with babies.
It is not recommended to have babies sleep on their tummy, but how about their sides? I put a blanket rolled up behind him to keep him on his side when I could watch him, but he wiggles out of the position.
Does anyone have experience with these solutions?

Re: Baby's head has crooked flat spot
Please read this carefully and completely it's answering about all of your questions.
Flat Heads
by Dr. Sears
You take your three-month-old over to grandma's house for a visit, and as the loving grandma coddles and showers the baby with affection, you suddenly hear her say, "Oh my, what is wrong with her head?" Concerned, you inspect baby's skull and are horrified to see that one side of the back of the head is extremely flat. You rush your funny-shaped-head baby to the doctor for an immediate evaluation. Relax. Your doctor has probably seen this a million times because it is a very normal occurrence in babies.
During the second or third month of life, some babies begin to develop a flat area on the back of the head. This is called positional plagiocephaly, and typically occurs either on one side or directly in the middle of the back of the head when a baby spends too much time sleeping with the head in one position. You can easily see this asymmetry by viewing your baby's head from the top. The weight of baby's head pressing down against the bed applies pressure to that area of the skull. This causes that area to flatten, and the opposite side to appear more pointed. As baby develops a flat spot, it becomes more comfortable for him to continue sleeping with his head resting on the flat area. This preference only makes the problem worse. The vicious cycle continues, and soon your baby's has the funniest shaped head on the block.
You can prevent this from occurring in the first place by rotating your baby's sleep position (always keeping baby on his back or side), making sure baby spends equal time on both sides. If your baby does develop a flat spot, use a wedge or rolled up blanket to prop baby on his side so the non-flat part of his head rests on the bed. For example, if the left side of baby's head gets flat, prop him on his side facing to his right. During the day when you put baby down to play, place him so all the action is on the side opposite his flat spot. A few months of this should straighten out the problem, and your doctor will monitor baby's progress. Do not worry, this flat area is purely a cosmetic issue, and has no effect on the baby's brain growth. Do not rush to the doctor if you notice a flat area. It can wait until baby's next check up.
There is an extremely rare condition where the skull bones don't expand as baby's brain grows, creating an asymmetric skull. Be sure your doctor examines baby's skull carefully to make sure this is not the case. Severe cases of positional plagiocephaly can be treated using a pressure helmet which slowly molds baby's head back into shape. These are expensive, and rarely necessary.

Re: Baby's head has crooked flat spot
Great link from Edelweiss. I am the Queen of producing lumpy-headed babies so I understand your worries. My oldest son had two lumps on either side of his crown and a center ridge, middle son had a flat spot in the back center, and now both of my twins have issues. My daughter has a large lump on the bottom of the back of her skull and my son's bones are all slipped out of place. The back bone is slipped down lower and the top bones are slipped to the sides more than normal leaving his top soft spot huge and extending down his forehead a little.
He has had cranial work done a few times but it hasn't helped. I was told the bones will shift as he gets bigger. We'll see. I tried to do this myself once and a bone moved and gave me the eeby-geebies! I learned to massage muscles, not bones, Yikes!
One thing else you could try if he keeps his head cocked to the side because of prenatal issues. Try massaging the back of his neck to his scalp gently. He might have tight muscles on one side from his position in the womb. If not, he'll love this anyway.
Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. I am not afraid. --Marcus Aurelius

Re: Baby's head has crooked flat spot
Thank you ladies for your help. I am relieved to hear that it shouldn't effect his brain, because it is kind of disturbing to look at. I wonder if he might get headaches now or as we fix it.
Thanks again

Re: Baby's head has crooked flat spot
Okay, since now we know how to correct the condition, is there a way to avoid it? Should you just change your baby's sleeping position often?

Re: Baby's head has crooked flat spot
Gunther's flat spot is already getting better I think. I've been putting him on his tummy when I can watch him, because for a while he would use all his baby strength to turn his head back and forth until he got used to it, and I didn't want him to rest with his face down if he stopped in the midddle. Now he likes it. He still really doesn't like being on his side though, so we don't do that position. I got a boppy brand noggin nest. For safety it is not to be used in the crib, only in bouncers, strollers, and carseats. Amazon has them for $11.

Re: Baby's head has crooked flat spot
When I had my first son, now 13, the slogan of the day was "down to sleep" (stomach) now its "back to sleep" (back)as far as recommended sleep position went. I dont agree that sleep position is as related to crib death as the ad campaigns would have you believe. Of course you dont 1) smoke around a baby or in the house preferably- also never put a baby on a big deep comforter or waterbed, but that would be suffocation not classic "crib death", so back or side sleeping would reduce suffocation but studies show there is a genetic component to crib death also known as SIDS (siblings are more at risk) and there have been cases of CD where the baby was in a car seat (not overheated car ) or in a parents lap sitting up.. My first son stomach slept, and so did my 2nd.They both hated back sleeping. both are fine and no flat spots. I was at a party where i talked to a Dr about this, and he was telling me the risk of these cranial surgeries to repair misshapen heads is a far greater risk for a baby than sleep position and it is because of parents who dont know better and place babies on fluffy beds or too many stuffed animals or pillows, they suffocate, so really it is protecting some babies from suffocation but not really from classic CD.

HBO (Sat., June 23, 9 p.m. ET)
Oz won't return with fresh episodes till 2002, but this film from director Cheryl Dunye (The Watermelon Woman) shows that HBO is still in the business of tough, gritty, uncompromising prison drama.
Treasure (Yolonda Ross) is a 21-year-old inmate newly transferred from a youth correctional facility to a state prison, where she hopes to meet the woman she believes to be her long-lost mother. That would be Brownie (Davenia McFadden), a hardened convict who has amassed considerable power inside the walls while serving a life sentence for murder. To get close to Brownie, Treasure joins the small "family" of prisoners doing her bidding. If Brownie seems to be using and abusing Treasure, the lifer has a ready explanation: "You always hurt the one you love." A shocking act of violence leads to a twist that strains credulity, but Stranger Inside will hold you.
Bottom Line: Do the time
