text: Science Science news WSU students build a robosub By Dave Meyer • May 3, 2012 WSU A group of computer science and electrical engineering seniors at Washington State University is building an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), otherwise known as a robosub. The underwater robot will be entered this July in the 15th International RoboSub Competition. The contest, in San Diego, is co-sponsored by the AUVSI Foundation and the U.S. Office of Naval Research. Look! Up in the sky! It's Super Moon … By Amelia Greim • May 3, 2012 If the skies clear up Saturday night you could get a glimpse of the "super moon." Saturday's full moon will appear the largest it has in more than a year. 'Zombie' Ants And The Fungus That Saves Them As you can probably tell, at least one person on this blog's masthead likes ants. So we've always been bummed that we haven't had the opportunity to tell you about zombie ants, but today we are glad to report there is a new development in the field. Luckily, it's a good-news report about a fungus that limits the fungus that turns ants into zombies. Even without health law, some reforms will stay, predicts former Obama official By Keith Seinfeld • May 2, 2012 A controversial former Obama health-care administrator was in Seattle this week, speaking to 1,000 people about what can be learned from medical mistakes--saying patient safety should be an ethical imperative . Federal campaign reaches out to Northwest's vaccine-shy parents By Jessica Robinson • Apr 30, 2012 COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho - The federal government's top health officers are making an appeal to the Northwest's medical community to boost vaccination rates. The deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control's immunization branch spoke at a public health conference in Coeur d'Alene Friday as part of the national campaign. Last year, Washington and Oregon immunization rates were among the lowest in the nation. Idaho's was average. That's according to a CDC survey. Lavender farmers want attention from foodies By Keith Seinfeld • Apr 30, 2012 Sequim Lavender Farmers Association The area around Sequim on Washington's Olympic peninsula is known as one of the top lavender growing regions in the nation. Most of that lavender ends up as dried flowers or scented potpourri. Nowadays, it's also ending up in food. The growers are meeting today (April 30th) to discuss the safest ways to make those flower buds edible, using a certification process. Before attacking asteroids, they'll surround Earth with telescopes By Keith Seinfeld • Apr 25, 2012 The Associated Press Whether they ever manage to get any platinum out of an asteroid, Bellevue-based Planetary Resources could become known for surrounding Earth with telescopes. That's the first item in the "prospecting" stage of the space company's effort to get precious metals from asteroids, using robotic space-craft. Lights off, eyes open: New moon darkens skies for meteor shower Tonight is a good night for a meteor shower. The Lyrids aren't known for their flashy shows, but this year they're getting help from a new moon. The dark skies will be "ideal for meteor watching from the ground," NASA says. Kelly Beatty, senior contributing editor for Sky and Telescope magazine, tells Weekend Edition host Scott Simon the best views are from the darkest places. Prototype early warning system worked during Calif. quake By Tom Banse • Apr 18, 2012 A prototype earthquake early warning system worked as designed when an actual quake gently shook California last Friday. Researchers reported the results Tuesday at the annual meeting of American seismologists. Last year, a private foundation in collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey gave a multimillion dollar grant to create an automated earthquake warning system for the Pacific Coast states. The idea is to provide advance notice to prepare people for severe shaking. It could come via a cell phone alert or a pop-up on your computer or TV screen. Can you think your way to that hole-in-one? By Joe Palca • Apr 18, 2012 Psychologists at Purdue University have come up with an interesting twist on the old notion of the power of positive thinking. Call it the power of positive perception: They've shown that you may be able to improve your golf game by believing the hole you're aiming for is larger than it really is. Jessica Witt, who studies how perception and performance are related, decided to look at golf — specifically, how the appearance of the hole changes depending on whether you're playing well or poorly. Why Women Suffer More Migraines Than Men By Patti Neighmond • Apr 16, 2012 One in four women has had a migraine. And, it turns out, the debilitating headaches affect three times more women than men. But why? Decades ago, these headaches were attributed to women's inability to cope with stress, a sort of hysteria. Now experts are starting to figure out the factors that really make a difference. Today scientists know a migraine is all in your head — but not in that old-fashioned sense. Migraines are biologically based, and they play themselves out as a wave of electrical activity traveling across the brain. Bird Flu Studies Mired In Export Control Law Limbo By Nell Greenfieldboyce • Apr 10, 2012 Scientists who created mutant forms of bird flu want to see their research published, and an influential advisory committee recently gave them the green light after a debate that lasted for months. But one of the manuscripts is now being blocked from publication because of Dutch legal controls on the export of technology that could potentially be used for weapons. It's just the latest example of how complicated international export control laws have affected the debate over what to do about two studies on bird flu. Autism researchers zeroing in on a genetic cause By Keith Seinfeld • Apr 5, 2012 danmachold / flickr Scientists have been pretty sure autism must begin very early in development, possibly even at the moment a sperm meets an egg. New research, conducted partially in Seattle, supports two interesting theories: Confirmation: Pressing the chest saves lives By Keith Seinfeld • Apr 4, 2012 The Associated Press Focus on your hands. That underlying message is getting reinforcement from new research on how to save someone who has a sudden heart attack. Victims who get CPR that emphasizes chest compressions have a survival rate that's nearly double those who get older types of CPR, according to a study from King County. Scientific Journals Plan To Publish Contentious Bird Flu Research By Nell Greenfieldboyce • Mar 31, 2012 A government advisory committee has reconsidered its advice to keep certain details of bird flu experiments secret. Revised versions of manuscripts that describe two recent studies can be openly published, the committee now says. The decision could help end a contentious debate that has raged within the scientific community for months. In response, the editors of two journals immediately said they planned to publish the research soon. Man walks out of Seattle hospital with no heartbeat (just a pump) By Keith Seinfeld • Mar 22, 2012 Keith Seinfeld / KPLU Of all the organs to take out of your body, the heart is the most dramatic. About 90 people in the Pacific Northwest are on a wait-list for a heart transplant. While they're waiting, many are confined to bed, for months or even years at a time, with an artificial heart connected to a 418-pound pump. A new artificial heart allows them to walk around, and, now, even leave the hospital. It's still considered experimental, although it's been used more than 1,000 times around the world. The first person to walk onto the streets of Seattle with an artificial heart—plus its external battery pack—exited the University of Washington Medical Center on Wednesday. What your gynecologist doesn't know about your sex life, but should By Nancy Shute • Mar 22, 2012 If your OB-GYN doesn't ask you about your sex life, who will? That's the question that comes to mind on reading about a new survey of the women's health specialists and what they don't talk about with their patients. Most gynecologists did ask a patient if she was sexually active. A measly 14 percent asked about sexual activity and pleasure. Only 28 percent asked about a patient's sexual orientation. Yet one-quarter of the doctors say they had expressed disapproval of their patients' sexual practices. Microsoft co-founder puts $300 million into 'brain observatories' By Keith Seinfeld • Mar 21, 2012 Allen Institute for Brain Science Paul Allen, a co-founder of Microsoft, is more than doubling his investment in unraveling mysteries of the brain – and bringing some of America's top scientists to a new lab in Seattle. They say they're building "brain observatories," where they hope to answer big questions about how the mind works. They'll peer inside the brain, similar to how groups of astronomers gather at major observatories to peer into the stars for answers about the formation of the universe. Sales tax boost would create safety net for mentally ill By Keith Seinfeld • Mar 20, 2012 If you live anywhere in the Puget Sound region you probably pay a small sales tax to support mental health services. The main exception is in Pierce County. That may change, at least within Tacoma city limits. A proposal in front of the Tacoma City Council would raise the sales tax by 1/10th of a percent, or a penny per $10 purchase. That's the same as residents pay in King, Snohomish, Thurston and many other counties. The revenue would be dedicated to a broad array of services to assist people with serious mental illness or drug abuse problems. NASA considering space station for Mars dry run By The Associated Press • Mar 20, 2012 CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The International Space Station may provide the setting for a 500-day pretend trip to Mars in another few years. NASA said Tuesday that consideration is under way to use the space station as a dry run for a simulated trip to and from Mars. It would be patterned after Russia's mock flight to Mars that lasted 520 days at a Moscow research center. Six men were involved in that study, which ended late last year. They were locked in a steel capsule. Kutcher becomes 500th Virgin Galactic space customer By The Associated Press • Mar 19, 2012 ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Richard Branson says his venture to launch paying tourists into space has netted its 500th customer, and it's none other than Ashton Kutcher. Centerpiece of health care reform launches in Washington By Keith Seinfeld • Mar 16, 2012 Washington is one of the first states to begin tackling the requirements of President Obama's health care reform, even though the U.S. Supreme Court will approve or kill the controversial national system this summer. The fist step in the reform is to create a Health Benefits Exchange. Each state is supposed to create its own insurance exchange as a new way for individuals and small businesses to purchase insurance. Washington's board set up to create this exchange had its first meeting on Thursday. Medical ratings: Western Washington good, but not the best By Keith Seinfeld • Mar 14, 2012 Where you live definitely affects the quality of your health care. That's clear in a new report comparing communities across the country. Western Washington is divided into three zones and they all score above average – but not in the top 10 percent. The best score goes to the Everett/Snohomish/Skagit area. Cassini spacecraft glimpses new views of moon Rhea By The Associated Press • Mar 12, 2012 NASA PASADENA, Calif. — The pockmarked surface of Saturn's second-largest moon has come into sharper focus in new images released by NASA. Research: Circumcision might protect against prostate cancer By Keith Seinfeld • Mar 12, 2012 Researchers studying men in Seattle have found more evidence that sexual behaviors and cancer may be linked. In this case, they're looking at prostate cancer. The connection is through viruses and circumcision's role in possibly limiting some infections. WSU studying bear hibernation in hunt for diabetes cure By Anna King • Mar 8, 2012 WSU Researchers Studying Bears' Hibernation To Narrow Down A Cure For Diabetes 030712AK_Bears.wav :57 Wrap 3/7/12 Anna King/CF RICHLAND, Wash. – Hibernating bears do things that doctors tell humans not to do. They eat fatty foods, lay around for months on end and get high cholesterol. Yet they don't suffer the same ill effects we would. Scientists Say They've 'Cornered' The Elusive 'God Particle' Scientists from Fermilab say they've basically "cornered" the elusive Higgs boson — that's the particle that some have nicknamed the "God Particle," because it is thought to give atoms mass and is also a key component of the Standard Model. This is complicated stuff, of course, but essentially the scientists at Fermilab say they found a bump in their data that suggests the existence of the particle. That bump corresponds to the evidence scientists at the Large Hadron Collider have found. Here's a bit of explanation from the Fermilab press release: Two clouded leopard cubs born at Point Defiance Zoo By Dave Meyer • Mar 6, 2012 Seth Bynum / Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium Two endangered clouded leopard cubs were born at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium this morning. The cubs, one female and one male, are healthy and weigh about half a pound each. For safety reasons, they'll be hand-raised by zoo staff rather than the mama leopard. Meteorite Hunter Scours The Ground For Bits Of Sky Every so often, pieces of heaven crash into Earth. They can come from our own solar system, or millions of light years away. Few of us are lucky enough to get our hands on one of these space rocks. But for meteorite hunters and dealers such as Ruben Garcia, touching a piece of outer space is a daily routine. The Best Hunting Grounds One of Garcia's favorite spots to go meteorite hunting is an enormous dry lake bed in southern Arizona. What is it about the NW that makes the rich yearn for outer space? By Jake Ellison • Feb 28, 2012 What is it about our super rich tech guys and local culture that makes them want to send people into outer space? Yesterday, the space venture backed by Jeff Bezos (of Amazon fame) announced it was ready to conduct a "pad-abort test" in the summer of 2012, according to Flightglobal. The test is a crucial milestone in qualifying the company's New Shepard vehicle for human spaceflight. Pages« first ‹ previous … 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 next › last »

The best GS in Chicago IMO is the one on Cicero over at Six Corners. Everyone who works there is cool as hell.
For those in the immediate north suburbs, the GS at the Niles Civic Center is excellent and pretty much where I exclusively go. Out northwest, I've had good luck in Schaumburg at Golf & Roselle and at Barrington and Schaumburg roads. And directly west, the store in Aurora on Rte. 59 by Meijer was a frequent hangout when I lived there.

Swimming In Company With The Girls Of The Valley—A Canoe—Effects Of The Taboo—A Pleasure Excursion On The Pond—Beautiful Freak Of Fayaway—Mantua-Making—A Stranger Arrives In The Valley—His Mysterious Conduct—Native Oratory—The Interview—Its Results—Departure Of The Stranger Returning health and peace of mind gave a new interest to everything around me. I sought to diversify my time by as many enjoyments as lay within my reach. Bathing in company with troops of girls formed one of my chief amusements. We sometimes enjoyed the recreation in the waters of a miniature lake, to which the central stream of the valley expanded. This lovely sheet of water was almost circular in figure, and about three hundred yards across. Its beauty was indescribable. All around its banks waved luxuriant masses of tropical foliage, soaring high above which were seen, here and there, the symmetrical shaft of the cocoanut tree, surmounted by its tufts of graceful branches, drooping in the air like so many waving ostrich plumes.
The ease and grace with which the maidens of the valley propelled themselves through the water, and their familiarity with the element, were truly astonishing. Sometimes they might be seen gliding along just under the surface, without apparently moving hand or foot—then throwing themselves on their sides, they darted through the water, revealing glimpses of their forms, as, in the course of their rapid progress, they shot for an instant partly into the air—at one moment they dived deep down into the water, and the next they rose bounding to the surface.
I remember upon one occasion plunging in among a parcel of these river-nymphs, and counting vainly on my superior strength, sought to drag some of them under the water, but I quickly repented my temerity. The amphibious young creatures swarmed about me like a shoal of dolphins, and seizing hold of my devoted limbs, tumbled me about and ducked me under the surface, until from the strange noises which rang in my ears, and the supernatural visions dancing before my eyes, I thought I was in the land of the spirits. I stood indeed as little chance among them as a cumbrous whale attacked on all sides by a legion of swordfish. When at length they relinquished their hold of me, they swam away in every direction, laughing at my clumsy endeavours to reach them.

A sophist etymology of "Isle of Dogs"
Like the wharf, it comes from the Canaries. Not.
- Islas Canarias < Canariae Insulae. Pliny, Natural History:
We also learn from the same source that the people who inhabit the adjoining forests, which are full of all kinds of elephants, wild beasts, and serpents, have the name of Canarii; from the circumstance that they partake of their food in common with the canine race, and share with it the entrails of wild beasts.
- Canary Wharf < Islas Canarias. Survey of London:
a scheme for the West Wood Wharf was settled in 1936. A two-storey warehouse was built in 1937 to serve a berth with a new 'false' quay, all let to Fruit Lines Limited, a subsidiary of Fred Dessen & Company (whose principals were Fred Olsen & Company, of Oslo), for their Canary Islands and Mediterranean fruit trade. The warehouse was designed by Asa Binns and built by John Mowlem & Company. The whole project cost £86,694. Following a request from Fred Dessen & Company, the site was named Canary Wharf.
- Canary Wharf ∈ Isle of Dogs
- And so by coincidence or not, Isle of Dogs < Canariae Insulae. Unfortunately London's Dogville has been called that way since at least the 16th century, when there is no known connection of the then unplace with the Canaries nor any reason for there to be one.
More bogus etymology here.
- Canary Islands (2) The Canary Islands (English /kəˈnɛəri ˈaɪləndz/; Spanish: Islas Canarias [ˈizlas kaˈnaɾjas], locally: [ˈiɦlah kaˈnaɾjah]), also known as the Canaries (Spanish: Canarias), are a Spanish archipelago located just off the southern coast of Morocco, 100 kilometres (62 miles) west of its southern border.
- Canary Wharf (1) Canary Wharf is a major business district located in Tower Hamlets, London.
- Isle of Dogs (1) The Isle of Dogs is an area in the East End of London that is bounded on three sides (east, south and west) by one of the largest meanders in the River Thames.
- Pliny the Elder (3) Gaius Plinius Secundus (AD 23 – August 25, AD 79), better known as Pliny the Elder (/ˈplɪni/), was a Roman author, naturalist, and natural philosopher, as well as naval and army commander of the early Roman Empire and personal friend of the emperor Vespasian.
- West India Docks (1) The West India Docks are a series of three docks on the Isle of Dogs in London, the first of which opened in 1802. The docks closed to commercial traffic in 1980 and the Canary Wharf development was built on the site.

Maybe Pliny is better taken as prophecy. Mount Atlas is the Shard, the Ethiopian nation of Perorsi is Hackney, the Hesperides inhabit a brothel behind Park Lane at the westernmost end of the world.

Mass transit and public transportation expenditures
October 01, 1999
The average household spent $393 on public transportation in 1997 and about 22 percent went to intracity travel. Of that, the bulk consisted of expenditures on mass transit.
[Chart data—TXT]
About 65 percent of intracity public transportation expenditures were allocated to mass transit in 1997. After mass transit, the next biggest category of expenditure for intracity travel was local transportation on trips, at approximately 15 percent.
Eleven percent of intracity public transportation expenditures arose from taxi and limousine travel in a consumer's home area while about 9 percent arose from taxi and limousine travel on trips.
These data are a product of the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey program. Additional information is available from "Issues in Labor Statistics: Expenditures on Public Transportation" (PDF 16K).
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, The Economics Daily, Mass transit and public transportation expenditures on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/1999/sept/wk5/art05.htm (visited September 28, 2016).

Wine Improves 3D and MAPI Support
This past weekend the Wine project released a new version of its Windows emulator. Apart from the numerous obligatory bug fixes, the release includes improvements to the Direct3D 10 API and an initial support for the Open Audio Library (OpenAL).
With help from Wine software, most Windows applications can also run under Linux. Unlike virtualization solutions such as VirtualBox, Wine translates the system and library calls to their Linux counterparts. This allows Windows applications not only to run in a Linux environment, but to do so somewhat faster.
Alexandre Julliard has now released version 1.1.30 of Wine. The major new features include:
- Support for OpenAL libraries for surround sound
- Enhanced Direct3D 10 API, which runs games as a counterpart to Microsoft's OpenGL
- Improved HTML, JavaScript and MAPI support
- Improved common controls
Many minor bugs were also fixed, especially those related to games. The .NET Framework 1.1 now installs flawlessly, the Bioshock game no longer crashes when loading the second level and the Steam client displays correct colors. Erratic behavior in the Myst 4, Prince of Persia and Flatout 2 games was also fixed, as well as a font problem in some games. Irregularities in Corel Painter X, Visual C++ and GNU Emacs were also eliminated. Finally, path problems in the Save dialog were fixed and Internet Explorer 7 startups no longer return
Cannot find '%ws'
The release notes include the full list of bug fixes and enhancements. A database of all compatible Windows programs and installation hints are on the project homepage.

This Ashly MM508 Stereo 8-Channel Mixer comes with an attached Power Cable.
Condition: This unit is in good condition and works great. It has normal wear from racking and use, including some oxidation on the rack ears and the back of the unit. Please see pictures for details.
What We Like: The MM-508 is an eight-input stereo rackmountable mixer. Designed for a multitude of applications, the MM -508 has an extensive mix of features for a small unit combined with excellent sound and quiet performance.
Product Details:
The MM -508 features 84 dB of gain to ensure full output with low-level or distant microphones. Several years of research went into the microphone preamp and the result is a discrete circuit with better than -129 dBu Equivalent Input Noise (EIN) and very low distortion. Low and High Shelving EQ combined with mid-band peaking EQ tunable from 140Hz and 8 kHz make for a very flexible tone control. Phantom power of +48 VDC is provided for condenser microphones via a switch on the front panel. Precision input transformers are easily field-installable, and each input has its own 20dB pad switch. Variable gain trim and Mic/Line selection switches are also found on each input channel. Rounding out the list of standard input features are a Peak Clip indicator, two Aux Sends (factory-set with one pre-EQ and level and the other post-EQ and level, these sends may be modified by a qualified technician), In/Out channel patching, Level and Pan controls, and both balanced XLR Microphone and TRS Line inputs.
Transformer-balanced Left and Right XLR outputs are standard, as are balanced Left and Right TRS 1/4" outs. There is also an independent Mono output with its own front panel level control, as well as a selectable Headphone output with Level Control. There are Pre-Master Sub In/Out patch points for linking other mixers, such as the Ashly MM106 six-input microphone mixer. Peak Clip indicators are also provided for the Outputs, and the 10-Segment LED Meters may be selected to monitor either Program Left and Right or Aux 1 and 2. Maximum output level is +24dB into 600 ohms.

Dear Sir/Madam, apologies for the delay but I would like to say what a wonderful service I receive from you. I only buy one refill diary from you for my husbands work but every year it arrives on time and although a little more expensive than other diaries it is perfect for his work. I cannot find a supplier in the UK so being able to get the refills from you is wonderful.
Many thanks and I'll be back in November!

Tiny, Illegal Thumb Monkeys Are Trending in China and I Want One
If ever there was a thing I coveted more in life, it's a thumb monkey. Because 1) Monkeys are great. 2) This one is tiny. Just my luck, owning one is illegal, unethical and not exactly good for the monkeys.

Located in Katsushika, Japan, the Kitaboshi Pencil Company was founded by the Sugitani family after it absorbed the assets of its bankrupted lumber customer the Tsukiboshi Pencil Company. Since then, Kitaboshi has been developing and manufacturing high-quality, unique Japanese pencils using two different perspectives: "one of an ant, to be able to look at small details like materials closely, and the other of a bird, to be able to see the whole picture."
When current President Mr. Sugitani's grandfather started the Kitaboshi Pencil Company, he said, "A pencil sacrifices itself to serve people. Both humans and pencils need cores." From Kitaboshi's unique wood cased Woodnote highlighters and wood cased Woodnote mechanical pencils, to their graded graphite pencil art tin, all of Kitaboshi's products reflect the high level of quality that is at the core of the Kitaboshi brand.

Talk:Path (computing)
|WikiProject Computing
In the Windows APIs and the DOS APIs since v2.0 (DOS v1.x didn't have directories) both "/" and "\" are valid path separators.
The problem is that command.com & cmd.exe (and in general: most command lines) treat "/" as an option prefix (I think this had originally something to do with CP/M compatibility) and because of that you can't always use "/" as a path separator there (you can when putting quotes around the path).
And some interesting posts from a discussion on the Python mailing list about this: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2003-September/185204.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2003-September/185212.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2003-September/185217.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2003-September/185202.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by JanC (talk • contribs) 11:59, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

- Ok, great detective work. But why are we starting the section MS-DOS/Microsoft Windows style by talking about the exception instead of the rule? Why don't we start off mentioning the general rule that \ is used more often in Windows, and then mention the fun fact that you can often also use /? It'd also be great to switch the order in the table in this manner too.

How does Mac OS distinuish between a drive and a directory? Is Letters:BankManager a file in the Letters directory, or a file in the root of the Letters drive? Jgharston (talk) 22:22, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
Before Mac OS X, I'm not positive, but I don't think paths were actually used to uniquely refer to files, so it might just be ambiguous. Classic Mac OS used "aliases" to refer to files, which was more like a direct reference based on a unique, automatically-assigned ID. Kind of like UNIX inodes. Note that this use of the word "alias" is slightly different from alias files that you can make in the Finder. As for OS X, there are UNIX paths under the hood, and drives have mount points like any other *nix. OS X has aliases too; various programs will use either aliases or paths or some weird combination to refer to files. (The preferred convention is for GUI apps to use aliases for open documents, but programs ported from other OSes might not fully respect this convention.) Any use of classic-style, colon-separated paths under OS X is for legacy reasons; it's mostly been phased out. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 16:43, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
- it's the drive. Classic Mac OS had no environment variables so the relative path would be :Letters:BankManager (equiv. to ./Letters/BankManager) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13298434/colon-appears-as-forward-slash-when-creating-file-name

Fresh looks and features for seven-seat SUV.
The company's automotive roots are intertwined with Jeep. After being established as an Indian steel trader in 1945 as Mahindra and Mohammed, brothers J C Mahindra and K C Mahindra formed Mahindra & Mahindra two years later to build Jeeps in Mumbai under licence from Willys. It also became the official Indian importer of Jeeps. In subsequent decades the company became renowned for its light commercial vehicles and, especially, tractors. It became established in Australia for the latter but a first attempt to import Mahindra vehicles – with a war-surplus Jeep powered by a Peugeot diesel – fell by the wayside before local, multi-franchise automotive family, the Tynans, launched the Pik-up ute in 2007. Their TMI Pacific company formed a joint venture with Mahindra a year later to form Mahindra Automotive Australia, with the XUV500 SUV (2012) and Genio ute (2013) bolstering the local offerings.Read more

Edward M. Krell is stepping down as chief executive of Destination Maternity Corp. "to pursue other opportunities," the Philadelphia-based apparel retailer announced on Monday.
Krell, 52, will be succeeded by Anthony M. Romano, a member of Destination Maternity's board.
The change comes after the company's July 25 announcement that it had dropped its bid to acquire Mothercare, a British retailer of maternity and children's products. Mothercare's board rebuffed two offers.
Five days later, Destination Maternity, which operates A Pea in the Pod and Motherhood Maternity stores, reported disappointing fiscal third-quarter earnings that it said "were considerably weaker than planned."
Krell took the helm in September 2008, as the economy was plunging into recession, leaving retailers in the red. Under his leadership, profits rose at Destination Maternity, founded in 1982 as Mothers Work by Philadelphian Rebecca Matthias.

U.S. must enforce immigration laws
The News, in a Jan. 7 editorial, endorsed comprehensive immigration reform as a "desperately needed strategy" for dealing with the 11 million immigrants living here illegally. As a retired immigration officer, my experiences give me reason to doubt the intent of these illegals to stay here permanently. For the majority, at best, they are here to work and send funds home to their families. At worst, according to Department of Justice statistics on incarcerated illegal aliens, they are here to plunder.
After seeing the lies, deception and mismanagement that the Affordable Care Act foisted on our country, I think it would be unconscionable to allow the same administration to rewrite our immigration laws. Enforce the current laws and pray for sanity in November.

Home equity is a decent option to help finance a college education.
"Traditionally, you can tap equity in your home to fund college," said Karen Robbins, with UBS's Philadelphia complex of 90 financial advisers. She also has clients with $250,000 to $500,000 of investable assets using it as collateral for lines of credit.
For the rest of us, home-equity loans offer a fixed interest rate, averaging 6.79 percent for a $30,000 loan. Home-equity lines of credit (HELOCs) have a variable interest rate averaging about 4.57 percent, according to Bankrate.com.

A newcomer to our Top 5 PC charts, Palicomp has submitted a strong first entry with the Excalibur E81-19. A full-height mesh-covered door conceals the front of the case, lending the PC a smart look that belies its £499 price tag. Visible through this door is a front-mounted fan, gently illuminated with blue LEDs. This creates a more subtle effect than CyberPower's approach, making the system equally suitable for business and home use.
Inside, the Biostar 7050 motherboard, based on the Micro ATX Form Factor, is one of the smallest we've seen. Only two memory slots are provided and, due to the extended width of the graphics card, there's no room for add-on PCI cards. The Palicomp Excalibur E85-19's 1GB 9500 GT's extra width comes courtesy of the massive heatsink applied to it, which allows it to operate silently without a fan.
The Palicomp Excalibur E85-19's performance was a little wanting, however. Despite housing Intel's E8500 chip, the Excalibur scored nine points lower than Arbico's E8400-based system in our WorldBench 6 real-world speed test. Nonetheless, any system scoring 111 points will be adequate for most tasks, particularly when fitted with 4GB of memory.
Its graphics card is also a little slower than the HD 4650 favoured by Arbico and Eclipse. However, less-demanding 3D games can be played comfortably on the Palicomp Excalibur E85-19.
Largest of all the systems in this month's chart, the Palicomp Excalibur E85-19's 500GB hard drive gives you double the storage capacity of most PCs at this price. The 19in Hanton monitor isn't the greatest we've seen, but it does come with both digital and analogue inputs.

Budget desktop PCs buying advice (March 09 issue)
Processor: Intel's Core 2 Duo E8500 is a popular choice at this price point, although slower processors such as the E8400 will still be fast enough for most users. Lower-cost alternatives include the Intel E7000- and E4000-series chips, although these offer weaker performance at any given clock speed.
Memory: In this Vista-dominated age, 2GB of RAM is a minimum requirement. You may be able to make do with 1GB, but we wouldn't recommend it. The bulk of sub-£500 PCs are now fitted with 4GB.
Make sure you're getting the full benefit of the memory - some onboard graphics controllers use system memory, which will slow things down. Check your motherboard has free memory slots if you plan to upgrade later.
Storage: You can never have too much storage space. Digital media content such as video and music files will quickly fill a reasonably sized hard drive, so buy the biggest you can. A 320GB drive is a good investment, although hard-drive space is relatively easy to add later. If you're planning to upgrade hard drives internally, make sure you've got enough free drive bays in your system case.
Look for a DVD drive that can write to the -R/+R formats at 16-speed or better. If you want to copy 8.5GB at once, get a drive that can write to DVD-R DL and +R DL at 12- and eight-speed respectively. Keep an eye out for 22-speed models.
Flat-panel: PC manufacturers have to make compromises to keep prices down and often start with the monitor. But you don't want to spend all your computing time looking at a poor-quality display.
All the PCs in our chart come with flat-panels. The most common size is 19in - the quality of larger monitors is unlikely to be high at this price. Look for a monitor with a DVI or HDMI digital connector to ensure the best picture quality. Make sure the PC has one too.
Graphics card: With the best graphics cards retailing for £300 or £400, a sub-£500 PC is unlikely to satisfy a hardcore gamer. Nonetheless, some sub-£500 PCs come with decent cards.
You should be looking for PCs that can produce 50fps if you're going to be playing games - 70fps or 80fps is better still. Current dollar prices have made it harder to build decent systems for under £500 and this month we're seeing slower graphics cards provided in all the chart systems. The usual 9800 GT and 9600 GT have been replaced by the 9500 GT.
Those in the ATI camp have seen the HD 4670 replaced by the HD 4650, which offers correspondingly lower performance. For nVidia and ATI cards, always look for a 1GB model rather than the 512MB version.
Sound card and speakers: You're unlikely to get a standalone sound card at this price. Most motherboards have built-in chips that can handle six-channel sound. To get the best out of them, you'll need a 5.1-channel system (five speakers and a subwoofer), but you're unlikely to get surround speakers at this price point. Even stereo speakers are rare in systems costing less than £500. Prepare to make sacrifices elsewhere if getting standalone speakers is a requirement for you.

cap strap broke how do i fix it
I have salomon spx pro bindings. They dont have any screws on the toe straps which I thought was nice. But the plastic piece with all the teeth on it just cracked in half... what can i do? are these bindings toast or can i buy a new plastic strap... no idea how id put it in there
the manufacture should replace that under warranty. It looks like its the same set up as my romes. Just take the binding off and push the strap through the bottom like snowolf said.
its not the ladder strap. it is the strap that holds the ratchet. all it is is a single plastic strap with a bunch of holes in it so you can adjust the size. anyone know anywhere i can order one of these quick. salomon is screwing around

SALT LAKE CITY - Volunteers called off a weeklong hunt for a missing pregnant woman Tuesday as police, using cadaver dogs, continued their search of a municipal landfill.
The volunteer search for Lori Hacking covered neighborhoods, industrial areas and nearby canyons, beginning soon after Mark Hacking reported July 19 that his wife had not returned from an early morning jog.
The search drew dwindling numbers, however, as Mark Hacking's actions came under scrutiny. The nightshift hospital orderly was checked into a psychiatric ward by his family after being found outside, naked, a night after the search for his wife began.
Assistant District Attorney Bob Stott said Mark Hacking, 28, is free to leave the hospital. Hacking did not return a phone message left Tuesday with an administrator at the University of Utah hospital.
Scott Dunaway, the family's spokesman, said the volunteer search for Lori Hacking could be resumed later with specialized teams or specific tips, and that all-terrain vehicles and helicopters could be deployed as needed.
Dunaway said the decision was not related to the return of police to a municipal landfill Monday night.
Police, who used cadaver dogs and illuminated the landfill with spotlights, found nothing but plan to return.
Experts say dogs work better in cool, moist nights or at daybreak than during a hot summer day.
"You have to go through it methodically, and it's a lot of area to cover, a lot of material," Detective Dwayne Baird said.
Also Tuesday, a defense lawyer hired by Mark Hacking's family deployed his own team of investigators.
D. Gilbert Athay said he has spoken several times to Mark Hacking, but has refused to characterize the conver- sations.
Athay said Tuesday that defendants - Hacking hasn't been charged with a crime - deserve the presumption of innocence, adding: "There isn't a lawyer in town who will say if his client is guilty or innocent."

The PC is dying, and the tablet's future isn't looking so healthy now either
There are several explanations as to why PC sales are so dire. Users have few compelling reasons to upgrade -- existing systems can still run all the latest software, and touch really isn't the major selling point that manufacturers believe it to be. The rise of the tablet has played a major role in the PC's demise too, providing casual users with a more flexible alternative.
While tablets have enjoyed rapid growth over the past couple of years, and phenomenal sales numbers will surely be racked up this holiday season, the International Data Corporation (IDC) has sounded a word of caution, lowering its tablet shipment forecasts, and predicting growth to start slowing by as soon as next year.
What's next for tablet technology?
The iPad wasn't the first tablet on the market, but it was certainly the first to capture the public's attention in a big way. And now, we live in a world where predictions tell us nearly weekly that the reign of the desktop PC is coming to an end.
That may or may not be true, but the fact remains: the tablet is here to stay, and it's one of the fastest-selling electronic devices in recent history. While the newly unveiled iPad Air and iPad mini Retina are bringing people in droves to local Apple stores, Google continues to impress with its Android-powered Nexus tablets, and Windows-based tablet computers like the Surface 2 are gaining traction in an increasingly crowded market.
Global PC shipments record sharpest annual decline EVER
It seems like we're forever posting stories about the decline of the PC, and here's another one. This time, IDC is delivering the bad news, and make no mistake, it is bad news. Catastrophic news in fact, because IDC says worldwide PC shipments are experiencing the "most severe yearly contraction on record".
Shipments were expected to fall by 9.7 percent in 2013, but IDC has revised that estimate to a worse 10.1 percent. Next year the outlook isn't expected to be quite as bad, but things are still going to be very bleak, even in emerging markets, the traditional primary growth area for the PC.
Microsoft showcases new devices for 'New Windows'
Windows 8.1, like its predecessor, is designed to run on a multitude of different devices -- desktop PCs, laptops, tablets and hybrids. When Microsoft first unveiled Windows 8 last year, there weren't many products which really took advantage of the new Modern UI.
Fast forward to present day, and that's all changed, with loads of touch screen devices available from all the major manufacturers including ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Nokia, and Samsung.
Intel's holiday buyer's guide rounds up the best Windows 8.1 devices
If you're looking for a new tablet, laptop, 2-in-1 device or all-in-one system you might want to take a look at Intel's new Holiday Buying Guide. The chipmaker has put together a 20-page PDF brochure featuring products from the likes of ASUS, Dell, Lenovo, Sony, HP, and Samsung.
Divided into sections, starting with 2-in-1 Devices, the guide tells you a bit about that particular type of system, and then presents a selection of shiny new hardware vying for your attention (and hard earned cash) this holiday season.
Surface vs iPad shows how little Microsoft and Apple have really changed
I own an iPad, and despite not rushing to buy a Surface, I actually quite like Microsoft's slate. A couple of days a week I work on my iPad (mostly remote accessing my PC via Parallels Access) and it's not a great experience. I know I'd get a lot more done if I was using a Surface Pro 2 instead, but Apple's tablet is far better in other areas, so for me it wins on balance.
Yesterday, on the Surface blog there was an article headed "What's new in Surface Pro 2". It was a detailed look at what Microsoft has done to improve the latest generation of its slate and I found it fascinating. Partly because it was an interesting read, but also because it was the sort of thing Apple would never do.
It's game over for the PC as shipments in Europe collapse
When reporting on PC shipments, it's pretty much guaranteed to be bad news these days. However, the latest PC shipment news from Gartner can't really be described as bad, more like out and out disastrous.
Shipments in Western Europe totaled 11.9 million units in the third quarter of 2013, a decline of 12.8 percent from the same period in 2012. The drop relates to all PC segments. Mobile and desktop shipments fell by 14.5 percent and 9.8 percent, respectively. PC shipments in the professional PC market shrank by 8.3 percent, and the consumer PC market plummeted by 17.1 percent. Tablets, naturally, are to blame, although Windows 8 and 8.1 have a part to play in the collapse too.
Amazon's new graphical cloud helps make desktops obsolete
Amazon Web Services quietly released on Tuesday a pair of new instances on its EC2 cloud computing service. Not just new instances but a whole new type of instance aimed at 2D and 3D graphical computing. For the first time from AWS in a generally available instance, developers and users will have access to virtual machines with GPUs.
It's like putting a PC in the cloud. More properly it is like putting your PC in the cloud. I think this has great disruptive potential. And that means we'll see similar services coming soon from other cloud providers.
Can smartglasses have a role in the workplace?
Google Glass has caused a bit of a stir, whether it's for the ability to turn us all into government spies or for causing the slightly distracted Google gaze. But there's been relatively little discussion of how smartglasses might be useful for business.
Until now that is, because a new report by Gartner says that smartglasses have the potential to boost worker efficiency in areas like healthcare, manufacturing and field service.
PCs slump, tablets rocket as consumers switch to cheaper kit
Combined shipments of devices -- PCs, tablets and mobile phones -- are set to reach 2.32 billion units in 2013 according to technology research specialists Gartner. This represents a 4.5 percent increase over last year, but much of the growth is driven by a shift to lower priced devices.
Traditional PCs are forecast to show an 11.2 percent decline, which drops to 8.4 percent when ultramobiles are included. Mobile phone shipments are forecast to grow 3.7 percent to around 1.8 billion units. It's tablets that are still the darling of the consumer though, shipments are expected to be up a whopping 42.7 percent this year reaching 184 million units.
Lenovo Miix2 -- an 8-inch Windows 8.1 tablet
Small tablets are very popular lately; the Nexus 7 and iPad Mini are two great examples of that. However, even though Windows 8 is designed for touch, a quality small (8-inch and below) tablet has eluded consumers. My experience with the Acer Iconia W3 was epically bad -- the screen and overall build quality were poor. Sadly, this device may have harmed consumer confidence in small Windows tablets.
Today, Lenovo aims to greatly improve the perception of reduced-size Windows devices as the company announces the Miix2 8-inch tablet. By combining the computer manufacturer's well-known build quality with the much improved Windows 8.1 operating system, the company should have a winner on its hands.
PC market continues to decline but beats expectations
Reports from leading analysts for the third quarter of 2013 suggest that the PC market is still in decline. However, sales haven't declined as quickly as predicted.
According to IDC's Worldwide Quarterly PC Tracker PC shipments totalled 81.6 million units in the third quarter. This represents a 7.6 percent decline over the same period last year, better than the 9.5 percent that was being predicted. IDC says the market was buoyed by business purchases plus the channel intake of Windows 8.1 systems in September.
The challenge of tablets in the enterprise
Independent analysis company Ovum has released a new report titled Challenges and Best Practices for Deploying Tablets in the Enterprise which finds that tablets are ever more prevalent in businesses.
It notes that as the market for tablets grows, usage of these devices is changing the way people work and is having a noticeable impact on the enterprise. Whether through units supplied by the company or BYOD, fast increasing numbers of tablets are being used to access corporate data and applications.
Archos announces the GamePad 2 -- Nintendo and Sony competitor?
I used to exclusively be a home console gamer -- I preferred playing games on a TV screen as opposed to a tiny handheld display. Heck, I even grew up during the GameBoy era but never got one. The NES was a better option for me, as portability was not a need at the time. Truth be told, I didn't get into mobile gaming until I got my first Android phone. Since then, I play all of my games on a smartphone or tablet. Sadly, platformer games are my favorite genre and virtual d-pads are a poor experience. I have always dreamed of an Android device with dedicated gaming buttons.
In July, the NVIDIA Shield was released. However, it serves as a dedicated gaming handheld -- it cannot realistically replace a tablet. It didn't make financial sense to buy both a tablet and the NVIDIA handheld. Today, Archos announces a new Android-based, 7-inch tablet that also serves as a gaming machine, called the GamePad 2 (the successor to the GamePad 1). In other words, it combines the functionality of a Nexus 7, with the gaming controls of the NVIDIA Shield. Amazingly, the company is releasing the product in Q4 of 2013, for the low price of $199.
Twitter and Comcast announce See It -- control your TV with tweets
Folks are increasingly using Twitter while watching their favorite TV shows. A couple of days ago, Nielsen announced that viewers were becoming more engaged with television as a result. However, I argued that this could potentially distract users from both the programming and advertising. Today, Twitter and Comcast announce a partnership that looks to bring users to the TV with the power of tweets, rather than pull them away, with a feature called See It.
"It's a simple, but exciting tool that helps people more easily watch the shows they read about or discover online. See It lets people tune-in or record their favorite shows -- directly from the conversations happening on Twitter. In a typical week, #thevoice generates more than 350,000,000 Twitter impressions. What's missing is how to seamlessly move from that conversation to consumption. And that's where See It comes in", says Sam Schwartz, chief business development officer at Comcast.

JMO, but I'm not a fan. There is a thread around here somewhere about the LCR and problems with flame cutting. I'd opt for a Smith 442 any day of the week.

442 is nice but not an option if looking for a .357.
June 24, 2010, 05:18 PM
There are threads everywhere about every gun made that has had issues and for the most part aren't mass recalls. You sure there's never been an issue with a S&W 442. I just picked up an LCR, you're missing out on a great weapon by writing it off as garbage so fast.
June 24, 2010, 05:23 PM
Certainly not writing it off as "garbage." I just would opt for a Smith with the same features. I understand the 442 is not available in .357. They are fine looking pieces, but from my personal experience, Smith and Wesson has higher quality. You get what you pay for. I do, however, LOVE my LCP.
Old Fuff
June 24, 2010, 05:38 PM
I am sure they will sell like hotcakes - but not to the Old Fuff. The LCR is an interesting platform, but an ultra-light .357 Magnum leaves me cold, regardless of who makes it. Most users won't be able to make fast but accurate follow-up shots and basketball sized patterns at bad breath distance is playing long odds.
Wade Wilson
June 24, 2010, 06:03 PM
Old Fuff,
You would recommend sticking with the 38 spl, with a light weight snubby?
June 24, 2010, 06:19 PM

Agreed. I love my little LCR CT but I'm not so sure I'd be interested in firing .357 magnums out of it. I've fired one of those S&W 12 oz. .357 jobby jobs and that isn't something I think I need to do again. ZING!!! :eek: ;)
June 24, 2010, 06:34 PM
S&W 640 is what you want.
Old Fuff
June 24, 2010, 06:48 PM
You would recommend sticking with the 38 spl, with a light weight snubby?
Yes I would, or at least I wouldn't go over .38 Special in this platform. In a larger, all-steel snubby I particularly like my 5-shot /.44 Special Taurus model 445. If one was determined to go to a small platform in .357 Magnum I would recommend Ruger's SP 101. Going still larger I like Smith & Wesson's K-frame models with at least a 3 inch barrel.
As a side note: The Border Patrol's late shooting ace (and experienced gunfighter), Bill Jordan recommended the little .22 WRM as an ideal choice in the lightweight aluminum/steel J-frame revolvers that were available during his day. But he was a capable of putting his bullets exactly where he wanted to, even under extreme stress.
June 25, 2010, 02:35 AM
I just don't even understand the appeal of the LCR at all. I shot the .38 one recently, and it just reinforced my original opinion. I would pick any number of small steel revolver over one, anytime.
June 25, 2010, 03:17 AM
I am intrigued by the LCR in .357, but not to shoot .357's out of. I carry in an iwb anyway,not pocket, so the extra 5 ounces means nothing to me except in dampening recoil. I like the more weight and sturdier construction so I can shoot .38 +P's out of it easier and not have to worry about the gun coming apart.
Lucky Derby
June 25, 2010, 11:05 AM
The LCR is interesting but I have no use for .357 in any gun that small. IMHO the trade off between power and recoil/muzzle blast just isn't worth it in anything with less than 3" of barrel. I stick with .38's in the shorter barrels.
Others may disagree, many do.
That said the LCR appears to be a decent, although homely weapon. I would consider one in .38 if I didn't already have 2 revolvers that filled that role.
June 25, 2010, 02:33 PM
When the LCR hit the market in .38, I wrote Ruger to see if they might chamber the gun in .327 Fed... just seemed to make more sense to me than .357. They said they had no such plans for that gun. I've read elsewhere that the .327's 45,000 psi is too much for the LCR.
LCR in .357 wouldn't interest me except for the reasons stated by L-Frame.
June 25, 2010, 04:13 PM
I have shot a fair number of rounds including a good many +p loads through the .38 spl LCR.
As far as revolvers go I like the LCR and in my experience it compares favorably with Smith J frames as a carry piece. Shooting hotter .38 loads makes me think I wouldn't want to shoot too many hard hitting .357 mag rounds in a .357 LCR. I'll use my SP101 (a gun I have used to shoot hand loads I wouldn't dream of putting one of the light weights) for that purpose. Some shooters have found the recoil of the .38 spl LCR to be objectionable, particularly the +p loads. The .357 LCR with .38s might be a better choice for them because of the extra weight.
June 25, 2010, 05:22 PM
as quick follow-up shots would be rather difficult . I have the Ruger SP101 and that would be as light as I would want to go. To me, the 38 special is hard to be for a carry gun.
June 25, 2010, 05:31 PM
which weighs about 16 oz and it is all I need in a light 38 special.
The Lone Haranguer
June 25, 2010, 06:08 PM
Too light for full powered .357 loads, IMO, although at 17 ounces it might be OK with a "medium velocity" load.
June 26, 2010, 04:51 PM
Is this thing for sale yet?
June 27, 2010, 06:37 AM
Not a gun I would be interested in. I would stick to the light 38spl revolvers. I'd go with a steel frame for a 357 mag.
June 28, 2010, 12:27 AM
Totally hearsay, but I've heard mention they're full alloy frames, as opposed to poly over alloy for the 38s, or something like that. Worth googling. Threads I've read elsewhere had interest on the aspect of an LCR that's less polymer and more metal. Still mainly for 38 use.
Didn't notice your nick at first. What up Deadpool?
June 28, 2010, 06:09 PM
I am actually interested in buying one of these. Does anyone know a place that has them for sale? Online would be ideal.
June 28, 2010, 07:29 PM
At 17 ounces it should be good to go with medium-light .357 loads, or hot .38 which wouldn't be very comfortable in a lighter gun. If it were the original 12-13 ounce LCR I'd shoot .357 out of it if I were getting paid to. But something like a 140 grain bullet going about a thousand feet per second, maybe a hair faster, that wouldn't be too outrageous and is a set of numbers I would feel very good about.
June 28, 2010, 07:41 PM
Well, I can hit inside the 5 ring with my LCR at 50 yards, so anyone dissing LCR accuracy hasn't any experience with them.
BUT, I am also sure that considering the pain that Buffalo Bore 38 Spl +P Heavy gives when shooting them out of a 13oz gun, I'd have no interest in a .357 version even at 17oz.
Fat Boy
June 28, 2010, 08:40 PM
I cannot imagine shooting a 357 mag out of this platform, but then I can't imagine shooting a .357 mag out of any lightweight snubnose revolver-
I appreciated Old Fuff's comment about Bill Jordan-I seem to remember Mr. Jordan once talking favorably about the .22 mag as a viable home defense round- some would consider that advice heretical today
Big Bill
June 28, 2010, 08:48 PM
I looked at one recently and didn't buy it. I bought a SP101 instead. I don't want to try and shoot .357 mag out of a featherlight.
June 29, 2010, 02:21 AM
I'm interested in one of these. Not to shoot .357s out of, but rather because the .357 frame is made out of steel and weighs 4oz more than the .38-only aluminum version. I like overbuilt. I have a 2.25" sp101 and I think the LCR would compliment it.
Now here's the big question--how is the LCR trigger?
Natty Bumpo
June 29, 2010, 06:51 AM
I've been looking at the LCR. I LUV my S&Ws (M65,M66) but I thought the trigger on the LCR was better- very smooth and less stacking.
June 29, 2010, 09:31 AM
Ive shot a many pistols that have nearly twisted out of my hand entirely from recoil, and yes i was holding on tight as i could at all times, i like the 357 magnum LCR i would consider it, because 357 magnum has a really good one shot stop chance. Long as i can hold on to the gun i dont care about recoil, hell my life would be on the line if i needed to use a LCR so why care about looks or recoil? this is a SD pistol its what it was designed for. Also i reload so short barrels wont be a problem if i use fast burning powders.
June 29, 2010, 10:14 AM
Uhh . . . yeah. I've shot .357 Magnum out of snubbies lighter than my SP101 and found the experience to be the sort of hand-numbing experience I'd never want to repeat again, ever. Don't get me wrong, I liked the .38 Special LCR, but for .357 Magnum I think I'll stick to my big hunk-o-steel SP101.
June 29, 2010, 11:39 AM
The flame cutting issue was addressed on another board. The jist of the comment was that when a light-for-caliber round was used (e.g. .38 spc. w/110gr.) the timing of the powder burn vs. the time the round leaves the chamber and enters the forcing cone does not allow for complete powder burn within the chamber resulting in excess powder burn between the chamber and the forcing cone, resulting in the flame cutting. This comment wa from a life-long gunsmith. I guess I will acquess to his expertise. I also hope I have been able to explain his comment w/o distortion. Best.....
June 29, 2010, 11:44 AM
I agree completelywith EnsignJimmy! The LCR with +P rounds is NOT pleasent...let alone with a .357! I'm really not a fan of the .357 in my 101! I keep Buffalo Bore .38 158Gr.SWCHP GC +P for indoor use and a speedloader with Silvertips for last ditch....Best.....
June 29, 2010, 12:14 PM
This is a GREAT thread for reloading this round for short barrels...and the concept of fast burning powders in short barrels. This guy did his homework with impressive results. When I reload for this round I will use his choice of powder/bullets. Best....

Despite Homs truce, no evacuations, no food entry
BEIRUT -- Aid workers failed to evacuate anyone from blockaded rebel-held neighborhoods in the central Syrian city of Homs on Tuesday or deliver any food, increasing pressure on them to complete the ambitious humanitarian operation before a fragile truce expires, activists and Syrian Red Crescent officials said.
More than 1,000 civilians have already left the embattled districts, which have been under siege for 20 months by government forces and suffer from widespread hunger. The three-day truce that allowed the U.N-Red Crescent operation was extended to six days, now expiring at midnight Wednesday.
But hundreds of civilians are still inside, and continued shelling and shooting between the two sides severely limited efforts.
Officials said Tuesday that they allowed more than a hundred men of fighting age to leave Monday after they were questioned and cleared of rebel links, state media said. A U.N. spokesman, however, said that hundreds of others were held back for questioning, saying it was concerned for their welfare.
Tuesday's delay was for technical reasons, said Khaled Erksoussi, the head of operations at the Syrian Red Crescent. He said meetings between U.N. and Syrian officials in the city took more time than expected, forcing them to postpone all their activities until today.
"There were no operations at all today. The U.N. and Red Crescent cars did not move," Erksoussi said by telephone from Syria.
The holdup came after U.N. officials wrangled a hard-won extension of a three-day truce, which first went into effect Friday and which ended on Sunday evening, allowing for the evacuation of 1,130 civilians, mostly women, children and the elderly, according to a tally by the international organization. Food supplies were also delivered for 2,500 people inside the city, the U.N. estimated.
Syrian activists inside Homs blamed the government for the delay, saying it was to prevent the passage of food into rebel-held parts of the city.
"The thugs, they are making obstacles, they don't want assistance to enter," said an activist who uses the nickname Abu Bilal.
There was no immediate comment from the Syrian government.
The governor of Homs, Talal Barrazi, was quoted by Syrian state TV as saying the 111 men, aged between 16 and 54, left the city on Monday. He said they were released after surrendering to authorities.

It never builds up on my hair and never disappoints me.My hair feels like silk.I still can't believe it. THIS IS THE ONE! I have ended my search for the perfect conditioner...yay!! The only negative is the price. I have long hair so i go through alot of conditioner. Price doesn't matter,(It is that good) as long as they don't change the formula I will continue to buy this product.Nov 24, 2009Andrea / CanadaHAIR TYPECurly Hair

Actually, in vietnamese, it is written as "Dau ma may" which translates literally to: "your mom's head". So I guess it is an insult to your mom, and to you indirectly.
DUDE 1: I went to the library after school. That's why I'm home late.
DUDE 2: Dau ma may(DU MA MAY) you went to the library after school. Fucking liar.

Charleston County sheriff's Deputy Jeffrey DeGrow is expected to take the stand today in the trial of Brandon Simmons, who is accused of firing six shots at DeGrow on Jan. 21.
James Islanders who were around the Grimball Road area on the morning of the shooting testified Tuesday during the trial's second day.
A few testified that they had seen Simmons, whose street name is pronounced "Busy," that morning, but none identified him, or anyone else, as the shooter. Neighbor Remus Chisolm, 76, called 911 following the shooting but testified that he didn't see who shot DeGrow.
Simmons faces two counts of assault and battery with intent to kill and one count of possessing a firearm during a violent crime.
DeGrow arrived at the Grimball Road area to investigate a home burglary there, and he later confronted three men he saw walking nearby. The three fled, and DeGrow followed one of them. Shortly afterward he was shot six times, struck in the eye, head and body, but survived.
Curtis Williams, 21, who was charged with misprision of felony, testified that Simmons sent him two or three letters, called "kites," while they were in jail together at the Charleston County Detention Center.
Williams, whose street name is "C.J.," read profanity-strewn excerpts from these messages aloud in the court. "I ain't never seen you, and you ain't never seen me," one read. "Say exactly what I tell you to say," read another.
Simmons' attorney, Beattie Butler of the Charleston County Public Defender's Office, is expected to cross-examine Williams as soon as the trial resumes at 9:30 this morning.
DeGrow, who wears a patch over his right eye that was struck by a bullet, identified Simmons from a photo lineup shortly after the shooting, Ninth Circuit Solicitor Scarlett Wilson said during her opening argument.
DeGrow could testify to that after Williams leaves the witness stand.
Circuit Judge Deadra Jefferson is presiding.
