IMON came to my rescue not once but twice. Witout their help it would have been impossible to TNR a colony of cats that was abandoned at a Church near my home. Rescue 9 baby kittens under the hood of a truck. Mary came to my rescue on a weekend after i found myself with 8 kittens in a trap and 1 very sick kitten in my shirt. She was there at a very critical time. without her I can't imagine what would have happened. Long story short that very sick kitten is now a healthy and beautiful 14 month old tortise we love very much. The others were adopted out to wonderful families. IMON supplies me with food for the feral colony. I could write so much more but the most important thing is they are so deserving of this award. Thank You IMON.

Ranjit Sinha takes over as new CBI chief
By IANS - NEW DELHI
Published: 03rd December 2012 03:14 PM
Last Updated: 03rd December 2012 09:48 PM
Indian Police Service officer Ranjit Sinha Monday took charge as the 25th director of the country's premier investigating agency, the CBI, but declined to comment on the controversy over his appointment.
"I don't think that there is any controversy. Government chose me and I am here," said Sinha.
"I feel very honoured, and at the same time, am also humbled at the extremely important task bestowed on me," he said.
When his appointment was announced, the Bharatiya Janata Party had questioned the manner in which the 1974 batch IPS officer was appointed to head the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) by the Congress-led government.
Sinha succeeds Amar Pratap Singh who stepped down as director Nov 30 after completing his two-year tenure.
"I am well aware of the rigours, processes and procedures being followed in this organization, having served as DIG and Joint Director in the Bureau. Now, as head of the bureau, I also bring with me, experience from serving the nation in my cadre as well as heading central police organisations," Sinha added.
He said that to make the CBI effective, the agency needed more manpower, modern technology and facilities, upgradation of forensic laboratories and reduction in delays in execution of Letters Rogatory.

Fire Safes and Gun Rust.
Ammunition, Gear, and Firearm Help
Shooting Gear and Storage
> Fire Safes and Gun Rust.
April 17, 2007, 12:17 PM
I remember reading somewhere that fire safes are not recommended for firearm storage because of the high moisture content present. Is there any way to safely store guns in them without them rusting?

The types of fire rated safe not suitable for the storage of firearms (or other moisture damaged items: stamps, coins, etc.) are the document safes.
This is especially true of the cheaper imported fire rated safes like Sentry, Brinks, and the like. Gun safes are lined with gypsum board, and are not truely fire rated.
If you must store something in a safe like this, I suppose you could keep it in a oven/microwave safe tupperware container with some dessicant packs. These types of safes should also be opened daily to allow the air to circulate.
These types of safes are designed to be moist inside. That's what makes them fireproof. Keeping something rust free while being stored inside of one of these safes is similar to keeping something dry while storing it in a swimming pool.
April 19, 2007, 12:20 AM
These types of safes are designed to be moist inside. That's what makes them fireproof
I don't believe it is the moisture inside that causes the safe to be fireproof. It is the proper constuction using the right materials that give the safe its ability to reflect the heat away. Kinda like a smokejumpers fireblanket. A 'fireresistant' safe is considered properly rated if the internal temperature doesn't reach above 350 degrees within the specified time that its rated for. Moisture has nothing to do with its fire resistant abilities.
I am not trying to be disrespectful, but I also don't like to see stuff misrepresented.;)

sorry for the second post
April 20, 2007, 10:28 AM
I don't believe it is the moisture inside that causes the safe to be fireproof. It is the proper constuction using the right materials that give the safe its ability to reflect the heat away.
This depends on the type of safe construction you're speaking of. If the safe is a composite type safe, then you are correct. However, the vast majority of fire rated safes use a liquid gypsum based insulation. Composite safes are usually burglary rated, and are much more costly to build.
When the UL conducts their fire ratings, there are three major factors built into the test. The first is the temperature rise, the second is 30 foot fall to resemble a floor collapse, and the third is an internal explosion caused by the build up of steam. This steam is generated from those moisture rich insulations as it cooks off in a fire.
A 'fireresistant' safe is considered properly rated if the internal temperature doesn't reach above 350 degrees within the specified time that its rated for.
A fire resistant safe is only considered rated if it is rated by a recognized testing agency. In the US, the Underwriters Labs are the only ones with that type of credential. Foreign testing groups in Europe, Japan, and Korea are also recognized.
Independant testing facilities, such as those that test gun safes, are not recognized. They are not recognized because their standards of testing do not prove any real protection.
Moisture has nothing to do with its fire resistant abilities.
I'll tell you where I get my information, if you share with me where you got yours. :)
I am not trying to be disrespectful, but I also don't like to see stuff misrepresented
Neither do I. This is why I try to answer the safe questions when I see them pop up from time to time. People who know the answers to these questions are the guys like me, not the guys at the sporting goods or office supply store.
April 21, 2007, 12:14 AM
Toshay!(however you spell that). I have seen know that you are locksmith and such, so you do have much more experience than me. I shall share with you my secrets now. Hmm, let me get back with you, because i seem to have misplaced the particular piece of evidence.:uhoh:
I will admit though that it was Googled. :p
I will try to find which place it was. I thought it was from a university website, but I can't be for sure. I know it didn't talk about the gypsum material so it probably made me look like a fool now :D
April 25, 2007, 09:32 AM
Fort Knox! I have one and store all my guns in it with no troubles at all.
I think the most important thing is to keep the door closed as much as possible and keep desicant in it.
Also, where you live and the climent will make a huge difference in the conditions inside your safe no matter what kind it is.;)
April 25, 2007, 10:27 AM
Does anyone have any experience with dessicants or dehumidifiers? I'm inclined towards dessicants because they dont require batteries. I've got a stack on gun cabinet with room for 10 rifles.
April 25, 2007, 10:53 AM
I use descicant in my safe. Everytime I come across a bag, I throw it in there.
April 27, 2007, 01:45 AM
Dubious, are you sure you mean a dehumidifier? Perhaps you're thinking of a Golden Rod. I'm not saying it can't be done, but wow a dehumidifier in a safe would eat up a high percentage of the interior space. And then there's the water dump problem.
The Golden Rods, and like devices, are just a low watt electric heater that keeps the interior of the container from dropping below dewpoint. That keeps moisture from condensing on the metal of the guns stored there. If you keep your safe in the garage in New Hampshire, something a little warmer may be needed.
Bartholomew Roberts
April 28, 2007, 09:46 AM
Well, everybody lives in different climates and has different conditions; but I bought a box of dessicant from Bass Pro four or five years ago with the little indicator that shows when it is time to throw it in the oven and remove the stored moisture. So far it isn't even to the halfway point yet and I do use a UL-rated fire resistant safe.
April 28, 2007, 10:48 AM
My safe is in the garage (detatched) in northern Indiana. After adding a Golden Rod I've had no problems with rust or moisture. I also keep dessicant in the safe.
May 14, 2008, 10:34 AM
I am shopping for a "safe" right now. The guy at Cabela's did not recommend the electric dehumidifiers (Golden Rod type) as he said the heat can affect gun stocks adversely. He recommended the dessicant packages. CB900f and a1abdj- y'all are the experts. (I know we are talking about RSC's, so let's not even go down that sideroad) What do you recommend for decreasing the propensity to rust? - Due to physical limitations I must keep my "safe" in the garage. Central Texas can get pretty humid sometimes. Am I fighting a losing battle or is there hope I can actually accomplish rust inhibition?
May 14, 2008, 11:04 AM
Under your circumstances, I would invest in descicant bags and wipe my guns down with a light coat of oil once a month, just to make sure. Also make sure you keep the door to the safe closed as much as possible.
May 14, 2008, 11:11 PM
I responded to another thread as well, but I'll answer in a little more detail here.
Desiccants do work. The problem with desiccants is that sometimes they work too well. Most safes are not anywhere near air tight, and if the outside air is moist, the dessicants will keep attracting it. You also have to keep an eye on them. Once they are full, they stop absorbing.
The electric dry rods do raise the temperature slightly. This effects the dew point, and not the actual humidity level. They work 24/7 without any maintenance.
I typically suggest dry rods, especially to those who are not in and out of their safes on a regular basis. Keep in mind that you don't want the safe to have zero moisture. You want somthing in the 45% to 55% humidity range.
If it's too dry, you run the risk of drying out wood and having it crack. If it's too moist, you run the risk of rust. You can buy hygrometers at most places that sell cigars. Get a nice digital unit that records the low, high, and current reading. Should cost around $30.
It's best to know what you're working with before you start trying to adjust it.
May 19, 2008, 06:12 PM
I live in Florida and have been using BullFrogs Rust Blocker Sheild in my gun safe for about a year now. It has worked well.
It works so well that I decided to carry it on my site. http://manaboutracks.com/default.aspx
It has eliminated the need for the Golden rod and the dessicant gel packs and as you can see, my guns are totally rust free.
May 21, 2008, 10:52 AM
this from the Rhino Safe website concerning the use of gypsum for fireproffing. Note that moisture induces rust of steel:
"9. Why use sheetrock for fire protection?
Sheetrock is relatively inexpensive and is actually very effective in a fire. It transfers heat extremely slowly. A typical gun safe may have over 100 pounds of sheetrock inside of it. Moisture, normally trapped in the gypsum mixture, when heated above 212 degrees, turns to steam and escapes. This process is called 'calcination' and will hold the internal temperature of the safe at approximately 220 degrees until the sheetrock has dried out completely."
The phrase "normally trapped" seems questionable to me. Trapped, until what sub steam level? Is NO moisture released at say, 75 degrees, or 67 degrees? These could be normal everyday non fire induced temperatures inside of a residential gunsafe on a summer day, you think?
So I'd suspect that the presence of moisture, even though it may have certain benefit in case of fire, is best avoided by not having a safe with the "inexpensive" gypsum as the primary protective material if rust is an undesirable offshoot of it's use.
Cheap means cheap. are your guns cheap?

When they say it's "trapped water" they mean it's a hydrate. Water is incorporated in to it's molecular structure, so not like a sponge that readily absorbs and releases water. The hydrate of calcium sulfate (gypsum) doesn't break down and give off water until it hits 175 degrees F. Gypsum board is fine for safes, its hard to find fireproofing that doesn't use it.
To prevent rust you have to A) keep the air heated above the dew point using a golden rod. B) Remove as much moisture as you can using a dissicant as was previously said.

America's Cutest Soda FountainsLiz Stanley
Soda fountain shops are an American classic and a fantastic way to spend a summer afternoon with your family. I think it's fantastic that classic soda fountains seem to be making a come back. So nostalgic! Here some of the cutest American soda fountains around. Have one to add to the list? I'd love to hear!
Brooklyn Farmacy 1 of 8Such a sweet set up! If you're in the NYC area, definitely hit this one up! I would love to try "the wake up call" Coffee soda + coffee ice cream, yes please!
See more here.
The Ice Cream Bar 2 of 8I love The Ice Cream Bar! A definite perk to living in San Francisco. I've never had a gardenia- and watermelon-infused milkshake before, but this is definitely the place where I would want to try it!

Franklin Fountain 3 of 8Look at these guys! The whole atmosphere really takes you back. The Ladies Choice — a classic scoop of vanilla over spicy root beer — sounds kind of perfect right now.

Roots Ice Cream 4 of 8Live in Charleston? Roots is a must-stop. The ice cream is ranked of the best in the nation! With original flavors like "Pluff Mudd," how can you resist?

Pikes Soda Shop 5 of 8Just so cute! I love the wood bar seating. They also have a full-blown menu of delicious food!
See more here.
MacAlpines Soda Fountain 6 of 8This shop has a cute, eclectic style to it. And I love the details on the outside. Perfect for an afternoon in the hot Phoenix sun!
See more here.
Park Side Candy 7 of 8Would you look at that floor? The mint palate is so pretty. As you can see from the name of this one, it's known for it's candy. Particularly their chocolates — a must-visit for those cruising through Buffalo, NY!
See more here.
The Pop Shop 8 of 8I love the lighting and the diamond patterned floor. I could spend hours in here. Chocolate malt, please!
