I thought Diaby was fine. Had a couple of nice dribbles. Also, his height was important at the end. He'll continue to knock the rust off. Just good to see him getting game time and not getting hurt. He took a couple of tough (but fair) challenges and brushed them off.
Ramsey was meh in MF today, but actually did quite well at RB. I remember Wenger back in the day mentioning Ramsey could play RB. Did well as an emergency fill-in today.
"I think he's got the potential to become one of the best in the world. I don't want to add any pressure. That's unfair. But playing against him recently and in training, he's a one-off. He's a lot better than your normal Premier League midfielder. I have a lot of confidence in him. He's got a bit of everything, he can tackle, get up and down the pitch, create a goal, score a goal, can pass. He can tick almost every box, and he's going to get better and better. He's only 21 and a fantastic talent. We're all delighted he's back and happy to play with him. I hope he brings out the best in all of us. He's a top player and I hope he gives the dressing room a lift. We need competition for places if we're going to get to Brazil. All over the pitch, there's good competition for places. He's been frustrated at the amount of football he's missed. There's nothing worse than missing a year of football. He wants to make up for lost time. You have to give credit to his club manager as well, and he'll come back to top form. And he'll get better, and better than he is now. Which is a scary thought. He looks as if he can cope with the pressure. You've still got the likes of Rooney, Lampard and Cole, other top players in the group, and we'll share the responsibility out. It's up to us to put our arms round him and make sure you lot don't put too much pressure on him." – Steven Gerrard on Jack Wilshere.
Ramsey may never become the star we thought he could've been before his horrific injury, but he could be a really valuable utility player for many years.
He's struggled where I figured he would, but has been better in the things that he is good at and overall has done quite well there.
He's struggled where I figured he would, but has been better in the things that he is good at and overall has done quite well there.
That was a game where the process was sublime, but the result was sorely lacking.
I guess I meant the individual moments
Collectively, big win.

In the Shimer library the other day, I came across a little gem of a book from our old Mount Carroll campus (circa 1940) entitled "Too Much College," which contains the chapter "Teaching the Unteachable."
"In my opinion," Stephen Leacock wrote, "the great majority of the colleges of the United States and Canada contain in their curriculums of liberal arts an accumulation of courses which are little more than an attempt to teach the unteachable...in a world where it was always afternoon young men and women might sit among the lotus leaves, or in the shade of the catalpas and talk of "social trends" and "personnel psychology" till they nodded off asleep. In the world as it is there is no room for such a slumber, for such a sleep, for such a folding of the hands to sleep."
Learning for the sake of learning is the cornerstone of academia--but it has always struck me as leaning too far towards selfishness over selflessness, passivity rather than activity. But now, through Shimer, I have come to see learning as an end in itself.
It's the process. Before the "end product" of an object of knowledge, there is the activity of putting down your preconceptions and listening. It is beautiful and redeeming and allows you to appreciate your (collective or individual) past with unbearable compassion and no shame. To learn is to love, I have come to see. Engaging in a dialogue--whether it be with a book, a classmate, a stranger, or a piece of art--requires you to act forth with your true self in a simultaneously outward and reflexive relationship. It's astonishingly profound. You are constantly becoming more 'yourself,' breathing and laughing and feeling--extending like a thousand branches--through the world around you. You are of it and with it. In the Bhagavad Gita, "there is a banyan tree which has its roots upward and its branches down." In its context, it refers to the Vedas and transcendence, but it strikes me as a beautiful description of all relationships and the self.
Your roots might be your experiences; your branches, your action. But in the end, they are equal and of the same tree; they are meaningless distinctions, as all are.
And in between the ground and heavens? Understanding, or the verb tense of. At the trunk, you use the nourishment you've taken from the rich soil and process it into something helpful and true to yourself. You are producing. Then you take this truth and send it back out into the world as something others can appreciate and utilize in turn. It requires every single cell of the tree and every breeze of the surrounding environment; but the most beautiful thing of all is that it will come back to you, again through the fertile ground. It will all return, only to go back out again. And only in this way can a tree grow.
Funnily enough, our mascot is a tree (well, one of them--the other is a 'flaming smelt,' but that one doesn't often make it onto the t-shirts). If we place it in the context of our motto, "to serve rather than be served," the tree becomes a metaphor for truth in action.
In the same vein, the growth of a culture or world can be seen as a similar gyre: our delving into the past to gain wisdom, our synthesis of these ideas, and our future output. All of it's "turning and turning in the widening gyre," in that unlike a tree, it not only progresses through time, but spirals back through space. In a sense, we are continually returning to the same ideas, the same truths, but in different contexts and in different lights.
Returning to our original metaphor of lotus leaves and catalpas, we ask ourselves: what sets our particular tree apart from those of other liberal arts colleges?
Our motto is "not to be served, but to serve." It's our method. Judith Butler writes, "Being acted upon is not fully continuous with acting, and in this way the forces that act upon us are not finally responsible for what we do." It's an intentional understanding that active reception is necessary before active engagement in the world, and in between the two is you, your intelligence and will. Navigating through integrated course after course, one comes to see both that things are ends in themselves, and that none of them are isolated disciplines--including yourself.
If one could ever distill the particular quality that makes Shimer special, I think it's that every level of our organization is consistent with itself, these truths. On an interpersonal level, we try to understand each voice in class, including the facilitator's. On a self-governing level, we work together democratically to make decisions. On an academic level, we try to understand the author of each text we read, and ultimately try to understand all the texts together--which themselves even build upon the inherent subjectivity of everything we think we know.
This may seem paradoxical when examining, for example, our social sciences curriculum, which sort of moves from through philosophy progressing towards post-structuralism. But I think here we try to treat all texts as equally important. We read the feminist critiques of Plato, but we don't necessarily lose respect for Plato. We confront the racist, sexist, and colonialist texts in the western canon, as well as difficult-t0-grasp mystical texts, but throughout all of it we learn that in order to actually understand the author, respect is a pre-requisite.
I experienced a rather silly but nonetheless striking example of this last year during a Humanities 2 study party. We were all reading poetry aloud in the dorms when someone reacted to an annoyingly distracting individual with sarcasm--which I pointed out to him wasn't fixing anything. I didn't realize until I saw the trapped look on his face that I wasn't solving anything either. It seems to me to be an perennial question: how do you relate to a person or idea without just reacting to it? Where's the balance between you and the other? It was a real-life, emotional realization of the pitfalls of endless ideological intolerance. Academic and political movements tend to react seemingly endlessly. I found myself looking for balance, and finding it here, in discussions of existentialism (authenticity), zen (the middle way), and pure dialectic itself (Hegel).
"Ultimately, therefore, it is not a question of (n)either…(n)or, but both…neither," as Constantin von Maltzahn put it.
What makes the "Great Conversation" so great is the degree to which we actively listen to the Other, understand what was said, consider it critically, and then consciously relate our perspective back to the person, who in turn does the same. It goes from one person's mouth to the other's ears, and back out through the other's mouth (...and back in through the other's ears, ad infinitum). It's the understanding understanding, as Aristotle might say. Martin Buber (whom we read in Social Sciences 4, and is generally a favorite among Shimer students) calls it the unifying "I-Thou" relationship achieved through the objectifying "I-It" relationship. The common idea here is that humans are social beings, so we're going to live with each other whether we do it compassionately or not. We are, in a sense, obligated to learn to do it well.
I don't think it's a coincidence that our studies are so generalized. In teaching us "how to think," I think we are really learning "how to love." The Sufi mystics sought to love all things. Shimer itself has made me a spiritual person, in helping me to understand my place in the universe, and what it means to be an active participant in it--arguably the most "unteachable" thing of all. I am learning what it means to be open: both confident and humble. A Shimer student recently sent out an email reminding us of the necessity of vulnerability. It feels like magic when both sides of a conversation really show up to help each other learn. I recently realized that the word compassion, literally, means to "co-suffer" (the "Passion" of the Christ); it is a mutual surrender necessary for making the world a better place.
Evidently we knew it in Mount Carroll, and we continue to remember now. To put it simply: we insist upon living what we've learned: we love.

Discussion in 'Chevy Suburban Forum (GMC Yukon XL)' started by murreywalker, Apr 8, 2013.
Other than the wheel hub are there any other visual differences between the two vehicles?
The front end and the hood. There might be something small I'm missing
ahmitchell1 is right, not much of a difference than the hood and front end. Dimension wise, 2500 is bigger when get comes to overall length. Both are beautiful trucks!
Jennifer T,
GM Customer Care Service
Thanks to both of you.
Now comes the more difficult question.
Aside from dimensions, what are the mechanical differences, beyond the engine?
While I know this is basic knowledge among the pro's, my newbie status with my 2013 is only a week old.
Your patience is much appreciated!

Accommodation summary
|Piri Reisplein, 1057KH Amsterdam, 荷兰
The neighborhood is very quiet (next to a canal, very peaceful) there are many nice shops and a market nearby and you can walk very easily to the city center. Or, with a bike or with the tram, you will be at Leidseplein or the Dam very quickly, and the famous Vondelpark is also only 5 minutes away. The neighborhood is Oud-West/Kinkerbuurt, close to the Jordaan area. I am French but have lived here for a long time so I can explain a lot of things about the city!
The house has a front garden where you can sit in the sun, and you are free to use the bathroom (with shower and bath) and the kitchen as you please. Your 20m2 room has a large TV, and a 1,5 person bed - perfect for someone travelling alone or for a young couple that doesn't mind sleeping in a slightly smaller bed. Alternately, I can install an extra one-person fold-out bed in the room for you (90cm / 200cm).
There is Wi-Fi in the house, and you are free to use my laptop if you want. You will have your own large room, I have two cats, but those will stay outside your room (unless you like cats!).
I only speak French, Dutch and German so I prefer to rent to someone speaking these languages.
住宿规定I only speak German/French and Dutch, but English-speaking guests are also welcome and will be welcomed by my daughter.
No smoking in the room, but you can smoke in the little garden
Coffee and tea, Jam/juice/cheese etc for breakfast is included

It had an amazing holiday in Amsterdam!
Jacqueline is so wonderful host ever!
Good atmosphere there in her room. I want to come visit to her again :)
Jacqueline is a great host! She is super helpful and present and is just an inspiring person. We felt at home! It is very clean and cosy! Thank you so much for everything!
We had a lovely stay at Jacqueline. She has a beautiful and cosy apartment with a little terrace in front, where you can relax in the sunny days.The accommodation is very comfortable and Jacqueline makes you feel like home.
Jacqueline and her daughter Sarah have a great (large) apartment on the ground floor in a newer building very convenient to both the city and airport. They have a fun sense of style and decor. Both Jacqueline and Sarah were very friendly and helpful. Sarah was particularly helpful in steering me in various directions toward various sites. I enjoyed my time there. Note: you MUST be a cat lover as their 3 cats have full reign of the house. I had rented a car as I'm slightly disabled and don't walk well, but finding close street parking was not a problem.
Nice large and quiet room - Jacqueline was very gentle - I slept very well.
I need an invoice...
Our days with Jacqueline were wonderful! The place was really nice, original decoration and very clean. We could walk to every place or take public transport next to the house.
She was really friendly, it was interesting to talk with her and she helped us a lot giving us maps and directions.
Vielen Dank Jacqueline!
Wir kommen wieder!!!!
We had a wonderful stay with Jacqueline!! From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed. Her apartment is just like the photos; clean, spacious and quirky!! Jacqueline welcomed us with chai tea, vouchers and maps of the city and let us have free use of her computer and internet to book museum tickets and check emails. The flat is probably a 15 minute walk from the centre, or a 5-10minute cycle ride. Its in a lovely area, right next to the canal. Breakfast was laid out for us every morning and Jacqueline does everything she can to please. Her daughter speaks fluent english if the language barrier is worrying you. Definately recommend!! MERCI BEAUCOUP JACQUELINE! Charlotte et Dominic x
Staying at Jaqueline's place was part of Amsterdam!
She is a great person. Very open warm and kind.
With her daughter Sarah and the amazing house we felt like home and didnt wanna leave.
I highly recommend this place, and hopefully we will come back to visit you soon :-)

New on DVD: Paul
A foul-mouthed, pot smoking alien and a strong supporting cast make this sci-fi comedy worth a watch.
Director: Greg Mottola MPAA Rating: R Studio: Universal
First, best buds Simon Pegg and Nick Frost spoofed the zombie genre in the cult classic Shaun of the Dead. Next, the duo paid homage to buddy-cop movies like Point Break and Bad Boys II with Hot Fuzz. Now Pegg and Frost are onscreen together in Paul, an amusing road-trip picture directed by Superbad's Greg Mottola that is like a love letter to sci-fi nuts.
Graeme (Pegg) and Clive (Frost) have flown from England to geek out at Comic-Con in San Diego, but they are also in the States to take a pilgrimage in an RV to America's UFO hotspots. Along a desert road they encounter Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen), a smartass alien who can heal organisms with his touch and become invisible by holding his breath. Paul has escaped from the government and just wants to "phone home," so a stunned Graeme and Clive—who heretofore could have only dreamt about meeting an extraterrestrial—are game to help the little green guy to his rendezvous point. To get there they will have to dodge hostile rednecks and the relentless pursuit by Agent Zoil (Jason Bateman), who is under increasing pressure from government directress the "Big Guy" (Sigourney Weaver) to capture Paul.
If the cutesy pictures of Paul that you've seen on the Internet or billboards gave you the impression that this was a kiddie flick, blow that thought out the airlock. Paul swears like a trucker, makes off-color jokes and smokes pot, making him the ideal travel companion in this R-rated comedy that is also available in an unrated version with six additional minutes on DVD and Blu-ray.
As funny as Pegg and Frost always are, it's the supporting cast that really busts the gut here. Kristen Wiig—who plays a fundamentalist Christian whose beliefs are shattered after she meets Paul—is hilarious as her character sheds years of repression in an avalanche of raunchy talk and lascivious behavior. Bateman plays it straight as the frazzled agent with two agent dunderheads (Bill Hader and Joe Lo Truglio) in tow, and Weaver goes into full Ripley mode as she tosses Pegg around at the film's end.
It's a hoot to see the guys from Shaun of the Dead running from the iconic heroine from the Alien movies in a film peppered with references to sci-fi classics such as Star Wars, E.T.: The Extraterrestrial and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. If you've never had a nerdgasm about any of those movies—apologies for your sad childhood—then lots of Paul's humor and references will be over your head. The rest of you will find this little slice of nerd nirvana to be out of this world.
Best extras: Both the DVD and Blu-ray contain bloopers, "The Evolution of Paul," "Simon's Silly Faces," "Who the Hell Is Adam Shadowchild?" commentary, galleries and more. Exclusive to the Blu-ray is "Between the Lightning Strikes: The Making of Paul" and several behind-the-scenes featurettes.

Web Exclusive
Being part of "The 12" at The Washington Post
By Tessa Fox, communication junior
Journalism student Tessa Fox found herself tumbling through the 2012 election as one of 12 college students selected by The Washington Post to provide a young voice to their campaign coverage.
I will remember Nov. 6, 2012, for the rest of my life. I voted for the president of the United States for the first time in my life, saw monumental "firsts" be elected across the country and stayed up way past my bedtime doing what I love: journalism.
And I wasn't just doing journalism; I was doing it for one of the top three newspapers in North America.
It all started last semester when journalism professional-in-residence Herbert Lowe asked me if I wanted to work on a summer project with The Washington Post. (Inside I was screaming, "yes.") I didn't even know what the project was about, but I knew I was interested. (Who wouldn't be?)
And, so began my work on "The 12" an online editorial board composed of 12 college students from swing states across the country. Together we were tasked with providing a young voice to the 2012 election cycle through original content and aggregating coverage from local and national news sources.
There was not a lot of instruction about how or what we should cover. After my first post, I recall thinking, "Am I doing this right?" I think we all felt this way. But after reading what the others were posting, I became more comfortable and confident in what I was posting.
As the Wisconsin representative, I covered the historic Scott Walker recall election, the race for Sen. Herb Kohl's U.S. Senate seat and the re-election of President Barack Obama. Perhaps my favorite post was about the catastrophe between the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks earlier this season because it tied together two important topics at the time: the election and the NFL replacement refs.
But this experience was much more than a chance to put The Washington Post on my résumé. It gave me peace of mind to know that the hard work I'm investing in my education is paying off.
In the J. William and Mary Diederich College of Communication, journalism students are taught the importance of social media and online journalism. But sometimes there seems to be a bit of resistance from students, myself included.
However, through "The 12," I witnessed firsthand that the things I'm learning in the classroom are being used every day in newsrooms. From tweeting links to your stories or soliciting responses from your followers, the Internet and social media are more important to journalism than ever before.
The project used the blogging website Tumblr to compile and promote our coverage. This was one of the first times I saw Tumblr being used for journalistic purposes, and I couldn't be happier with the response. The site is normally used to re-blog amusing photos or GIFs, but we were able to use it in an innovative way that really appealed to young people consuming the content and the college students like ourselves who produced it.
I learned a lot from this experience. I improved numerous skills necessary to be a successful journalist, such as developing my experience with multimedia, crowd sourcing and online journalism. But I think the most important piece of knowledge I took away from this opportunity was something I already knew: Journalism is changing, and it always will be.

Hey everyone,
Today was my first time installing bees, and I feel like I made a lot of mistakes. I was hoping someone could just level with me about what to expect because of some of the errors I made.
1. When I was trying to pull the cork out of the queen cage, I actually ended up pushing it inside the cage with the queen. I saw a couple bees walk over the cork, so it looks like they had a little room to get by, but I'm not entirely sure. I ended up putting a marshmallow where the cork used to be, but I wonder if I should go back in 2 days to let the queen out myself.
2. My initial plan was to open the box that the bees came in and place it in the hive itself, allowing the bees to fly out whenever they wanted to. Well, I was installing in medium hive bodies, and after dumping the first few hundred bees onto the floor of the hive, I put the box in over them expecting it to catch on the side and not go all the way to the bottom. Well, the box was probably made to fit into a deep, so I actually squished a few hundred bees when setting the box down. God I suck.
3. I installed at 10am in the morning. I should waited until the afternoon.
4. I spilled a small amount of sugar syrup on the inner cover.
Wow, I just feel like I screwed up so badly. Could someone please give me their opinion on how screwed I actually am? Also, should I go check on the bees in 2 days, or wait an entire week? I feel like I should go in 2 days but I don't want to disturb them any further. Please help.

To the editor,
This letter is to thank all the members of our local Cynthiana Fire Department for answering my 911 call so quickly Sunday night Nov. 23rd.
They searched and searched my home to find what they said was methane gas order filling my basement and coming upstairs.
They found where it was coming from behind a closed in wall. They advised me not to stay over nite in the home.
By it being in the basement I chose to stay at home and open windows. And to stay with my two cats who came upstairs and warned me something was wrong in the family room.
To the editor,
I would like to know why Cynthiana does not have a dog warden? Harrison County has one.
The reason I am concerned about this is for months I have had a problem with my neighbor's dogs. The police chief told me the problem would be taken care of months ago, the code enforcement officer tells me something different every time I talk to him and suggested I call the dog warden, who laughed and told me that he works for the county, and they were "passing the buck."
In June of 2006 my parents were enjoying their retirement with a trip to Las Vegas, Nev. While they were there I received a phone call from my uncle stating that my mother, Carol Smith, had been taken to the hospital. I, along with my brother and sister, flew out to Las Vegas. The next day my mother passed away.
I did not vote for Obama. It wasn't because of his race. Some of my dearest friends have different color skin than I. James Custard and his extended family are among those lifelong friends that I value.
I did not vote for him because of his lack of moral values. On the horror of abortion, early term or partial birth, his voting record is documented. He served in Illinois, Check it out. I did.
I was shocked by the large headline on the front page of our local paper, But I should not have been, having lived here all my life.
Cynthiana and Harrison County, I could have told you the answer to that a year ago. A lot of our county residents are racists and prejudiced. You would think by this generation, it would be better, but it seems to be getting worse, even in the schools.
Gracious God,
In this time of flux and uncertainty, when our nation and our neighbors are in turmoil, searching for peace and prosperity or just a chance to catch a breath, you remain constant and sovereign.
You are King over our sorrows as well as our joys. You are Lord over all that concerns us in the daytime, all that keeps us awake at night, all that drives us to our knees. In that, we can rest and trust and renew our strength. In that, in your sovereignty, we can give you thanks.
To the editor:
On Sept. 21, 1991, 17 years ago, the C&W Horse Show Arena held its first show. The show was sponsored by the Cynthiana Jaycees with a wonderful response. One hundred horses came to take part in the show classes, games, and running events for all ages.
This was the beginning of a fun filled adventure that has produced many wonderful memories for us.
We met people from all over Kentucky and into Ohio, watched children learning to ride and showing their horses. Now we see those children's little ones riding.
The family of Mr. and Mrs. Baker on Third Street of Cynthiana would like to thank God first for answering our prayer's, and also a family member Patsy Fryman, who was a very concerned neighbor of ours that knew our mother needed a roof put on her home very badly.
To the editor:
My wife and I greatly enjoyed talking to folks we found at home during my recent campaign for the Board of Education. I am most grateful to those that voted for me. I would guess they are people I talked with who know that I am only concerned with academic excellence for all children.
First of all I did not think that the headline of The Cynthiana Democrat on Thursday, Nov. 6, was very appropriate to state: "Obarna beats McCain, but not here. "
I feel that the paper did not show good journalism, it was disrespectful, and not in good taste with many of the minority issues and relationships that still plague our communities in Kentucky.
The news of the Obama victory only garnered enough interest from the paper to be on the third page along with the vote tally of the other candidates.
This is a letter to the kid on the school bus who threw the paint ball on the car traveling behind the bus.
This is my sister-in-law and her husband. She was driving and the paint was all over the windshield and car. She could not see and there could have been a serious accident.
They are an elderly couple, in very poor health and dearly loved by the community.
When you do wrong it always comes back to you. If you don't learn this now, you are going to have a sorry life.
Gwen Whalen
As many people in our community know, Co. C of the 201st Engineer Battalion from Cynthiana is currently serving in Afghanistan.
Sign up for the Community Christmas Project toys was very large this year. We feel sure with the community's help we can plan a better Christmas for the children. You can make a donation of money or a new toy.
Contact Charlie Carson, treasurer, 234-1689.
Charlie Carson
I wish to say thanks to all of the citizens of Cynthiana for electing me to the City Commission on Nov. 4. Believe me, it made me feel great. I will work hard and will represent each and every one of you. Thanks again.
Mark Mattmiller
On Election Day I felt happy that I had voted. But my family had unpleasant health problems, so I decided to take a walk in the late afternoon sun on a back street.
And then I found 'my' beautiful cat, who had been missing about two weeks, dead. I had last told him goodbye at daylight as I headed to Lexington.
So with tears streaming down my face I slowly walked back to my home oblivious to two girls riding their quiet 4-wheeler.
A concerned neighbor of an elderly couple bypassed her own needs and decided to step up to assist someone else in her community.
The elderly couple was in desperate need of a new roof. Since they had limited funds and no means to pay for the job to be done, they were at the mercy of the weather.
After several failed attempts to get the help her neighbors needed, she did not know where to turn next.
Boy Scout Troop 60 has been very pleased to receive United Community Funds. The troop has used this money to purchase tents and other camping equipment. It has also helped to provide uniforms for scouts, and fees for summer camp and other events when the parents have not been able to provide. Some of the money this year has been used to build a toilet at the camp by the county farm.
The troop committee supports the United Community Fund and all the good work they are doing.

Sarco list the 308 hammer as different from the 223 hammer. Gun parts list the same hammer for semi auto 308 and 223 Galil's but they list different hammer springs. What could be different about the hammer spring? Time to look at a parts blow-up pic.
A 308 Galil build but on an ORF receiver.
Building a .308 Galil on an ORF receiver - UZI Talk Forums
Upsides on this build: I should have a decent barrel, tightly chambered and headspaced. 1.6mm receiver with the rails tweaked so the bolt carrier has minimal clearance. Hadar stock with a forward anchor under the front trunnion and fully-floated barrel.
Downsides: no side-mount scope bracket possible with Hadar stock. No rear tang to mount a Beryl rail to. No access to the sides to use one of the Chinese "spider" scope mounts. So I need to mount the scope to the top cover or use an RSB and mount the scope to that, like you did. Technically the top cover mount is bad, but it seems to work for the various "Hunter" rifles, and the original Hadars, for that matter.
You mentioned reducing the clearance between the bolt and the carrier to keep it lined up with the bore. I will be looking into that; I guess the first thing to do is make sure the bolt carrier's centerline is the same as the barrel centerline.
Most of the Hunters use screws to anchor their top covers - the screw patterns seemed to vary according to whether they were Finnish, Israeli, or Chinese. Two tabs hanging down at the back and screws going sideways into the receiver was popular with the Finns. Some Chinese rifles had one rear screw on a flange, attaching the cover to the top tang. Other Chinese Hunters had a screw on the front left, going into the RSB. Someone did one with two small screws going into a special rear spring holder; I'm not sure if that was factory or aftermarket. The Hadar didn't use any screws, probably because you'd have to remove the receiver from the stock to get to them. Which isn't an absolute deal-breaker for me, though it'd make cleaning into more work.
I have to make the rear trunnion from scratch since it has to match the angle milled onto the back of the Galil receiver. No big deal there. I have this vague idea of making it taller to provide space to mount a Beryl style rail. I'll probably try just the plain latch-anchored top cover first, though.
Hm, you might be able to increase preload with a standard spring by building up the area of the hammer where the spring touches it. Tou couldn't get a lot by doing that, but it'd be easy to do.
From what he talked about on how he modified the hammer, it sounds like the rear of the bolt sat further back in the .308. He said he took a quarter inch off the front. I think I've read about some guys moving the hammer pin back on conversions.
I found this picture by some lucky b***** who has two Hadar IIs. It's way better than the pictures I took of my stock - you can get a better idea of how sculpted it is. Note the sling swivels, and how the right side is cut away for wrist clearance around the pistol grip. The stock doesn't look nearly so blocky in real life, and it's way more comfortable than it appears.
I also found a picture of a Micro Galil. I think the front sight block/gas block unit is the same between it and the Hadar.
Also take a look at the bolt carrier - I had thought the Hadars used the 45 degree handles, but it looks like they used a stairstep handle. The step to raise it to clear the stock, and sticking out the side instead of up so you wouldn't bump the scope if you had the optional top cover with the scope mount.
Ah! *@&!&!! I just noticed the picture was from "jetskrtal" - one of those is stocks is the one I own now!
Apparently Google doesn't index Uzitalk; that thread doesn't ever come up when I search for Hadar stuff, anyway.
I found another picture, again better than the ones I took. This one shows the "cast" of the Hadar stock well. The centerline of the buttpad is slightly to the left of the centerline of the barrel. Not all rifles have cast; it has gone in and out of fashion over the years.
I may have my Hadar stock back now. My wife saw a picture of a Super Vepr stock, and she now wants one of those instead.
Looking around, it looks like most of the full-stocked Super Veprs have been converted to folding stocks and pistol grips. You'd think the wood stocks would be a glut on the market, but I haven't found any, other than one on Gunbroker the seller withdrew before the end of bidding.
Looks like the Super Vepr has a screw going up from the bottom into the front trunnion like the Hadar, plus another one at or near the gas block. There doesn't look like enough room for a buttstock screw like the Hadar, so I'm guessing the pistol grip screw does all the work in the back.

Good place for the money, beds are really comfortable and two badrooms were nice luxury to our travelling family. Good services in reception and you feel secured in the facilities. It was a hot summer evening and the only downside was the lack of window that can be opened all the way to get little help for summer temperature
Very nice comfortable appartment, central located, helpful staff, looking forward to see you agian!
A nice flat in a nice place, near from center of Riga! We liked our journey!
We stayed for a week there and were really satisfied. The apartment is fully equipped and very clean. during our stay we had to clean ourselves, which was not a problem. the accommodation is spacious and during the night it was mainly quiet.
The reception is 24h in charge and Arthur helped us very much and very friendly with all our questions and the first orientation in the city. it is a little walk into the city centre - maybe 10-15 minutes - but you also have nice cafes and restaurants nearby.
We can definitely recommend this place.
Really nice, clean and spacious apartment.
Staff is really friendly and helpful.
We really enjoyed our stay in such a beautiful city.
Very neat, quite, and modern apartment with good beds and window shades to sleep well. The kitchen is fully equipped so we made ourselves breakfast and dinner. I would definitely stay there again! It's about 5 minutes to the railway station by taxi (which should be taken with a taxi meter instead of a fixed price) or you can even walk. The Gertrudes street is very long and the apartment hotel is at the end. The closer to the old town you walk along the Gertrudes street the nicer it gets.

text: I finally got my first package of local TF bees, checked them in veil, shorts and a t-shirt about 4 days later. I got only one sting not bad. this week I opened the hive by the brood with no smoke and they came boiling out and I got stung about ten times right away. Now I put on long pants, long sleeve shirt and all was fine. They are producing comb but I don't see many eggs being laid but it might be hard to see the eggs in the new white comb. When I blow some smoke on them to get them back down in the hive they just get angry and don't go back down, so I wind up killing a few when I close the bars, any tips for use of the smoker? I observe the hive daily close up and they don't bother me at all and I see lots of activity at the entrance and lots of pollen entering the hive.

I know that some people are totally against signs being put into any language other than English in the United States, but I think that most bilinguals would agree with me that it's pretty awesome. It's a learning opportunity, gente! Take advantage of it! Free mini-Spanish lessons in every aisle of K-Mart.
While I walked around admiring the new bilingual signs at our K-Mart, (which I love), I did catch a typo, though.
On some of the signs where they attempted to use the word "cuidado" (care), like this one for fabric care products – they had accidentally switched the "u" and "i" …Oops. I thought about letting management know but didn't want to seem obnoxious, plus, what if it's a nationwide typo? … I'll send them an E-mail.
Other chévere things I spotted while out and about…
This accordion was at Goodwill – I wanted it, but I don't have $200 and I don't know how to play it, so that would be kind of pointless, unless I have a third kid, which I'm not going to do. (My oldest son plays trumpet and my younger son is learning to play violin. Carlos has a guitar he's supposed to be learning to play… I'm trying to create my own personal mariachi group, but without a third child, I won't be able to start a group to play me norteñas. Rayos.)
Anyway, a few weeks ago we went to eat lunch at a little local Mexican place which is kind of new. It's not fancy and is privately owned. Its got the expected stereotypical Mexican decorations on the walls but the food is more authentic, there's a TV that plays telenovelas that the women watch while they cook and the little kids of the employees run around freely in the dining room. It's kind of nice and makes you feel like you're eating at a friend's house.
So while we were sitting there waiting for our food, some of the kids run by and go into the office to play. (They left the "office" door open and there's actually a bed and a bunch of toys in there.) … While I was looking in that direction, I noticed the coat stand in the corner there. On top was one of the novelty sombreros, and hanging below that was one of the kids' backpacks, (Washington Redskins themed.) … The symbolism, irony and clash of cultures existing there on that coat stand made me think.
This last photo is from just the other day. We were grocery shopping and while we were in the produce section, this group of Mexican guys walks past. Carlos was watching me so I looked down respectfully and didn't flirt.
"Look!" Carlos whispered to me. Permission to look? Órale!
I looked up but was confused as to why Carlos wanted me to.
"The boots," Carlos clarified, pointing with his chin.
"Oh! Botas picudas!"
"Okay, calm down," Carlos said.
Apparently I had become too excited for his liking, I couldn't take my eyes off the boots though.
"I wish I could take a photo," I said wistfully.
Carlos examined an apple and ignored me.
I gauged Carlos's mood carefully and decided to take a chance.
"Would it be weird if you asked one of them if I could take a photo of his boots?"
Carlos hesitated for a few seconds but before I knew it, he was leading me over to one of the guys who was putting tomatoes into a bag.
"Excuse me," Carlos said in Spanish. "My wife likes your boots. Do you mind me asking where you got them?"
The guy seemed a little weirded out and kept looking at us funny. He looked over his shoulder, either looking for a hidden camera (or something worse), or perhaps trying to get his compañeros attention so they could come rescue him from the cuckoo Salvadoran guy and his gringa.
He told us where he bought them and that they cost him $300.
"They're really nice," Carlos lied, (because he hates botas picudas. He was only doing this for me.) "Do you think my wife could take a photo of your boots?"
The guy waited a second to see if Carlos was joking and then laughing nervously, nodded his head yes.
"Gracias! Son padrisimas!" I squealed with all the enthusiasm one might give to a movie star upon getting their autograph.
"Calm down," Carlos reminded me.
"Okay," I said, kissing him on the cheek. "Thanks, nene."
I always say that he's lucky to have me because I put up with his hot temper and celos … but I'm lucky to have someone who puts up with my locuras, too.

Entertainment industry insiders gathered in Hollywood Friday to hash out their most pressing issues and possible opportunities in the first State of the Entertainment Industry Conference.
While panels touched on runaway production and piracy and potential threats, the day started off with a reminder of how valuable the entertainment industry is to Los Angeles County.
"You're looking at 247,000 people who are working in this industry, one way or another, whether they're earning a paycheck or self-employed," Robert Kleinhenz, chief economist at the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp., said while presenting his organization's "The Entertainment Industry and the Los Angeles County Economy" report.
The study found nearly $19 billion worth of payroll locally distributed over all facets of the entertainment business in 2011. The average annual wage for entertainment workers was an impressive $117,000, which is more than double the county's overall average private sector industry yearly income of $53,300.
The report also notes that showbiz-associated indirect job creation (caterers, florists, for example) yields close to 586,000 jobs countywide. Entertainment directly generates $47 billion in annual output, or some 8.4 percent of L.A. County's $558 billion in 2011, and accounts for $6 billion in state and local taxes each year.
Nice. But clouding the conference were constant reminders that one of L.A.'s biggest industries is beset by threats ranging from intellectual property piracy to new amusement technology to runaway production to other states and countries.
Outgoing 39th District state Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes, who co-authored the bills to extend California's $100 million-per-year production tax credit program for the next three years, noted in an interview how important it was to make incentives as attractive as those offered in competing states.
"The most important thing that policymakers can do to help stabilize this very California industry is to send good market signals like we've done so far," Fuentes noted. "We've made a very good start by extending this very successful tax credit program on a yearly basis. But film and entertainment, like any other business, needs more predictability. They need to understand that California is wed to this program, to maintain those very good jobs that have benefited California."
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who made a discursive and often hilarious speech about his "Hollywood Mayor" image to the industry crowd, spoke more seriously in an interview outside the conference room.
"Beyond all the jokes, L.A. is the city that creates and innovates," Villaraigosa said. "I've been a big advocate since the late 1990s for the film tax credit. We need to make it permanent and at least double the size of it."
"The jobs behind the camera are more important than the people in front of it," Villaraigosa continued. "That's why I walk red carpets and advocate for all of this creative economy, because it's the heart and the soul of the L.A. economy."
Across town at City Hall on Friday, the City Council called for measures that would refund 75 percent of the sales tax related to productions, and study how to develop a new tax rate for radio and television broadcasters.
"These industries can generate their signals from anywhere," Councilman Eric Garcetti said. "We want to keep them in Los Angeles."
Under the proposal, the city will study changing the gross receipts tax and offer a minimum tax rate for the industry, similar to what is done with film companies.
Garcetti said he also wants to study possible incentives for the video game industry.
"Right now, the video game industry is bigger than Hollywood," Garcetti said. "I was talking with one video game producer and he said he is moving to Montreal because of the incentives they are offering."

Featuring author Rickey Vincent
Author reading, music, refreshment
Revolution Books is excited to host a celebration for the new book Party Music: The Inside Story of the Black Panther's Band and How Black Power Transformed Soul Music
[The Lumpen was] "a small, short-lived rhythm and blues band that operated out of Oakland, California, in 1970. The group performed for less than a year, but in that short window of time they represented all that was revolutionary about black politics and black culture in that era."
"This book explores the soul of the black power movement. It puts faces to the revolution and seeks to humanize the black revolutionaries of the day. This book is for anyone who recognizes the transformative soul power of James Brown but still can't find his name in their civil rights history book. It is for anyone who was fascinated by the fearless vision of change put forth by the leaders of the black power era and has wondered how those ideas came about." - from the introduction of Party Music
Soul music surged in popularity in America in the 50s and 60s, eventually becoming an indispensable vehicle for the Black Power Movement to reach out to their community and promote their message of radical social change. Largely forgotten today, the Black Panthers had their own funk outfit called The Lumpen.
Party Music: The Inside Story of the Black Panther's Band and How Black Power Transformed Soul Music (Lawrence Hill Books, October 2013) by Rickey Vincent explores the black cultural revolution through an examination of the movement's music and the revolutionaries who danced and fought for their rights. The product of exhaustive research, including exclusive interviews with party and band members, Party Music is a political and cultural history offering an insider's narrative of the Black Panther Party during its crucial transformative phase. It also explores the motives of the great artists and the songs they wrote and performed during that time. Vincent persuasively argues that soul music lends itself perfectly to the cause of a fight for freedom. Lumpen live shows were high energy, call-and-response interplays between lead singer and chorus that invited audience interaction, and the music of the streets blended with the political ideology of the Panthers.
Party Music traces the history of soul from its beginning as a combination of African American gospel with rhythm & blues to its creation of a distinctly black American identity and culture, and illuminates the Black Power Movement in a completely new way, using the radical evolution of music as a framework for new understanding.

Ok, so I've got an ooooold Squeezo that we use all the time for tomatoes, apple sauce and whatnot. I was wondering the logic in using it for crush and strain on honey harvesting.
In case you're wondering, this is a nice picture of one making apple sauce. It takes the material and then feeds it down an auger, pushing the less solid matter through a screen and then expelling the more solid matter through the end.
Anyone ever try it, think it's a decent idea or think me crazy?

Install Backtrack to Hard drive
I used Partition Magic to create a Linux partition, but you can do it with the qparted utility on Backtrack if you wish.
After creating the new partition, boot up to the Backtrack cd and then click on Kstart to open up the program menu. Click on Backtrack/misc/ Backtrack installer.
There you will see 3 drop down boxes. Make sure the top reads /boot. The second to the top should read /mnt/hda3 assuming your Linux partition is identified as hda3. You can check that with qparted. The 3rd from the top should read /dev/hda3. Make sure you choose REAL (2550) and not the USB install.
Click on install and wait. It usually hangs for a long time on 80% so don't abort if that happens. Just get a cup of coffee and come back in a few.
Why install it on the hard drive? 1. Its will work faster. 2. Updates will stay until the next session. 3. You can add modules and expand your install beyond what your CD can hold.
4. Its easier to save packets to your hard drive rather than mounting a usb drive every time.

correct steps?
I would like to repaint my trans am dark solid green -Brewster green
Having a somewhat experienced friend spray it and help with prep.
Probably use Devilbliss Starting line gravity feed and hvlp detail guns I have.
It has been repainted once before, filler in some spots, welding and 1/8th deep filler in rear quarter.
Here are a few pics of the car and worst areas.
Im in canada and you can't seem to get any recommended products here.
I'm planning to get SPI epoxy primer for the sealer coat and clear, and a dupont or ppg base from across the border. This will take some time.
In the mean time, I was really hoping to buy low voc epoxy to cover rust repair areas, apply body filler, sand, another coat of epoxy. Then I could block sand the rest of the car. Once sanded wait for epoxy sealer, base and clear to arrive.
Question, am I missing a step, 2K or poly primer over deep scratches, guide coat then sand or even 2k over whole car. Or can I use the epoxy primer to fill scratches as well. If I use putty or filler for small chips/scratches, it has to be down to metal right?
Question 2, which available primer would you use
Nason 491-10 with 48301 $66
Dupont 2940S victor and V2905S $140
PPG DP50LV and DP401LV $140 which also says to use a reducer at $80/gallon, is the reducer needed?
Question 3, the rear quarter I plan to take to metal over damaged area and build up, correct?
Last question I promise, the rusty hole in the door is only through the outside metal, how is this fixed, I have a backpack sandblaster, shoot it? por-15? epoxy prime and fill? could probably have someone use suitcase welder and patch but its a pain.
sorry this rant is so long, hoping to order paint from down south asap.
rear quarter before pic.
Where abouts are you in Canada? I'm in BC and can get decent paints here at the local autobody supply.
I'm no expert but you really have to cut the rust out and weld in good metal, otherwise you'll be doing this again in no time. Once that's done, clean it well with wax and grease remover and epoxy. Then filler and sand until its straight. More epoxy, then your paint. I'm sure more knowledgeable guys will have some advice.
local autobody shop doesn't sell anything
west-can in burnaby gave a price for pro-form products
2 lordcos said only proform
3rd lordco out in chilliwack said they had the ppg dp50lv
acklands only has endura even though the site says they carry nason
napa can only get endura
hot rods & classics chilliwack doesn't do paint stuff
horizon in langley actually has dupont and nason primer but as for paint can not get british racing green/midnight green/brewster in dupont or matrix and only in nason in a single stage.
haven't called white & peters yet, at this point its quicker to drive to seattle, get what i need and drive home.
When I was doing the paint business i used to meet my Canadian customers in Bellingham and make delivery..worked out well at that time. The other thing you can do is to get a american address at the UPS store, have materials delivered there for pickup..And yes strip that thing to bare metal and make your repairs as since you have that much rust there is probably more lurking you have not found yet..
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..
OK, # 1 If your looking to Napa in Canada for paint, try their Auto Body Supply store it's called C-Max. Some Acklands stores carry a full line of Dupont, if you want Dupont from Acklands you will need to phone around, they have many Acklands stores in Vancouver and the Burnaby area. Of all the primers you listed, I wouldn't recommend any of them when SPI Epoxy will do all that you need and sand better as well and in all probability cost less. If you look in the Yellow Pages, I'm sure that PPG will be represented as well. As far as solvent based base coat in Canada now, what you are left with is Dupont's Nason, PPG's Omni for the brands you mentioned...if you want Chroma Base, Chroma Premier, Deltron or Global Base Coat you will need to go state side for it because of VOC laws in Canada.
#2 If you are going to use SPI Epoxy, they do have several Distributors in Canada, If you Like I can get you the contact information...they stock it here, it's VOC compliant and then there is no need for for 2K primer as it does have good build and sanding qualities. I would strip the entire car to bare metal, repair the rusted areas with new metal, epoxy primer , filler work, epoxy primer, guide coat, repeat until car is straight, final prep block in 400 dry or 600 wet, 800 wet if using water born base coat and clear.
#3 "Crownver is right...cut out the rust and replace it with metal or as he mentioned you will be redoing it shortly.
#4 To fix the door cut enough of the rusted area out to the point where you have good clean, unrusted metal, cut the rusted out area in a square so that it will be easier to cut a patch panel, use your sandblaster and clean the inside panel of the door, cut a patch panel sligthly smaller (and I mean slightly, like 1/8 of an inch over all or 1/16 of an inch on each of the sides. Start welding by tacking in the corners, then space your welds about an inch apart until the panel is totally welded in without any spaces left, it should be a solid weld, grind then weld smooth and follow step #3.
If I have missed anything and I'm sure I have, let me know and I'll try and help you out.

A quick check showed a "Chases autobody supplies" in Vancouver. I'ved used the Proform epoxy primer and it seems decent.
It's kind of hard to tell from the pic but I'm wondering whether the rust that high on the quarter is a result from paint chipped away or the actual rust ate the metal away til it bubbled? Looks like the rust caused the paint to bubble/ chip and not the chip causing the rust, which is a bad sign for the overall "guess" of what's under that paint. This would mean there's more rust, especially in the predictable areas. It could have also been a result of the body work in that area done with a slobbering compressor or not taking out all the rust, but now it's a guessing game. I wouldn't feel confident with not stripping that car unless I was 100% sure that big area of surface rust was caused by a scratch or chip to bare metal that slowly rusted. As for the other area, that tells you there may be rust elsewhere, but that surface rust HIGH on the quarter tells you THERE'S RUST EVERYWHERE ON THIS THING! I hope not.
What I outlined in my previous post is exactly that, it's an outline, there is much more to it, like what options do you have in stripping the car, (it should be stripped), how to properly weld patches in and tools you would need to minimize warping the repair panel. A lot of detail from everything on how to mix fillers to applying filler to minimize pin holes, blocking techniques, the application of primer from gun pattern to air pressure to flash times between coats, final block and how to make sure your blocking is straight so you don't have a wavy finish, gun set up, pressures spray patterns for base and clear as well as flash times for each.
These are some of the things that I didn't get into detail on when outlining basic procedures. If you are interested in these detail, I'm sure we can help. You mentioned you had a painter with some experience, that's great and I'd be happy to answer all questions that I can, as I said, just ask and there are many other people on this forum that I know are very qualified and would also be glad to lend a hand.
Best of Luck, I'm a big Pontiac fan and would love to see you have a beautiful, shiny Trans Am.
This has been a great help, I will be calling SPI canada and other suppliers tommorow. Stripping the whole car might just take this first timer past his comfort zone. Although these forums usually give good advice and generally tell me what I need to hear. I'll try to get some more pics of the condition up tommorow.
Well Crownver, I've got Yellow pages for right across Canada, I could have...but you did...good on ya bud.
99tjadams...I apologize...my first post was hurried...and...my wife was getting home late from work....and I was getting Dinner ready for her and I didn't have a bunch of time, everything I was cooking was getting ready all at once...who can make that up...
Don't be afraid of stripping the car...I'd be more afraid of not knowing what's underneath that 2nd paint job, painting it only to find out you had every reason to be afraid is something that just about everyone to a man that has posted here has recommended it. The first time any of us stripped a car...we where first timers at that too.
Do you have the contact information for SPI Canada or a local SPI supplier, if you don't, let me know and I'll send you a PM (private message) with the co-ordinates.
Love to see more pictures...and send pictures of the good and especially the bad.
Lordco if I'm correct sells PPG, we don't have them out here...but I seem to remember that they had either PPG or Nexa...which is now the same product, just a different label.
Paint is paint (when comparing top line to top line, value brand to value brand)...they all work...it's the service that's the difference.
Thanks Ray, means a lot coming from you.
While you're PMing 99tjadams can you do the same for me?
By the way, what the H are you doing up this time of night? You're in Ontario right? It's 11:00 PM here so must be 3 in the morning where you are! Do you ever sleep?
LOL...I'm one of those guys that get going on about 4 hours sleep, if it's 6 hours I've slept in...been that way my whole life, was up and at it at 7:30 this morning. I find I get more done in the morning than if I start later. Yes, I'm in Ontario but, I'm a Western boy at heart and miss BC, Alberta, even Manitoba, OH ya I lived in Saskatchewan too...LOL.
And by the way...your welcome...I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it. I'm a big advocate of choosing Jobbers and have mentioned it many times and I do thank you again, it is that important.
Not a problem, I will forward the Co-ordinates to both of you, I don't know if you've ever going to contact Barry K, but the man is direct, you will always know where you stand, (good or bad and I like that) and a straight shooter with a boat load of knowledge.

Experience the Glamour of the Magnificent Mile
The Allerton Hotel • Chicago, IL
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Standard, King, or Two-Double Room
- Or, a One-Night Stay for Two in a Superior or Specialty Suite
- Two Welcome Drinks of Either Domestic Beer or House Wine
- Included Internet Access
- Book Unlimited Nights for an Extended Stay
The Destination
The idea that some streets are paved in gold is about as literal as you can get when applied to Chicago's Magnificent Mile. The main byway between the city's booming business district and its, well... Gold Coast, "Mag Mile" is dotted from end to end with everything glitzy—from high-end jewelers and clothiers that comprise some of the best shopping in the world to a glamourous and fast-paced nightlife scene.
The Digs
Mix together ingredients like luxurious bedding and Jazz Age glamour and you get a sophisticated cocktail of comfort in the heart of Chicago at The Allerton Hotel. Originally opened as a club hotel on Michigan Avenue in 1924, this property is one tall drink of water—it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and once hosted celebrities from Hollywood's Golden Era. Piped linens with satin accents, flat-screen TVs, a mini-bar, rich wood furnishings, and marble-clad bathrooms are just a few of the perks of a stay in a room here.
The Diversions
The Windy City packs a punch when it comes to attractions and shopping. You'd be remiss not to take a trek along The Magnificent Mile, a treasured shopping mecca. Shake things up at the Navy Pier. And, if art is your passion, then stop by the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. In the evening, take a seat by the cozy fireplace at the hotel's M Avenue Lounge and chase down sweet potato prawns and beef sliders with a dirty martini. Then get a taste for the city's cuisine at hot spots like The Signature Room at the 95th or Spiaggia.
"I have stayed here on several occasions on business. The location is just about perfect if you want to be on [Magnificent Mile]."-- TripAdvisor

Twitter has apologised after pornographic footage was promoted as an "editor's pick'' on its new Vine video app.
The six-second video with "adult content" was promoted less than a week after the service launched.
Twitter blamed human error and said the video has been removed.
A spokesman said: "A human error resulted in a video with adult content becoming one of the videos in Editor's Picks, and upon realising this mistake we removed the video immediately.
"We apologise to our users for the error."
Photographs circulated on the social network showed a video posted by a user called NSFWVine - seemingly a reference to the "not safe for work'' warning some Twitter users use when posting risque content.
With "editor's pick'' in the corner, the cover screen said: "Warning. This post may contain sensitive content. Tap to view."
Vine, which was launched last Thursday, is an app that lets users of the social network post very short films from their mobile phones.
Dick Costolo, Twitter's chief executive, posted footage using the software through his @DickC account, showing him making steak tartare in a video that resembled gif animated footage.
Twitter's vice-president of product Michael Sippey wrote on his blog: "Like tweets, the brevity of videos on Vine (six seconds or less) inspires creativity.''
