This is a discussion on ~~DANGER~~Re-Chambering the same round continuously. within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I know that most of us on here are familiar with the dangers of this with regard to bullet setback, but I for one had ...
I know that most of us on here are familiar with the dangers of this with regard to bullet setback, but I for one had never thought about this scenario. Be careful, and rotate your chambered rounds! Otherwise, you may end up hearing the loudest sound in the world: a click when you need to hear bang....Safe shooting
> In September of this year a GCPD officer was involved in a situation
which quickly became a use of deadly force incident. When the officer
made the decision to use deadly force, the chambered round in his duty
pistol did not fire. Fortunately, the officer used good tactics,
remembered his training and cleared the malfunction, successfully
ending the encounter.
> The misfired round, which had a full firing pin strike, was collected
and was later sent to the manufacturer for analysis. Their analysis
showed the following: the cause of the misfire was determined to
be from the primer mix being knocked out of the primer when the round
was cycled through the firearm multiple times. We also sent an
additional 2,000 rounds of the Winchester 9mm duty ammunition to the
manufacturer. All 2,000 rounds were successfully fired.
> In discussions with the officer, we discovered that since he has small
children at home, he unloads his duty weapon daily. His routine is to
eject the chambered round to store the weapon. Prior to returning to
duty he chambers the top round in his primary magazine, then takes the
previously ejected round and puts in back in the magazine. Those two
rounds were repeatedly cycled and had been since duty ammunition was
issued in February or March of 2011, resulting in as many as 100
chambering and extracting cycles. This caused an internal failure of
the primer, not discernible by external inspection.
> This advisory is to inform all sworn personnel that repeated cycling of
duty rounds is to be avoided. As a reminder, when loading the weapon,
load from the magazine and do not drop the round directly into the
chamber. If an officers only method of safe home storage is to
unload the weapon, the Firearms Training Unit suggests that you unload
an entire magazine and rotate those rounds. In addition, you should
also rotate through all 3 duty magazines, so that all 52 duty rounds
are cycled, not just a few rounds. A more practical method of home
storage is probably to use a trigger lock or a locked storage box.
> The primer compound separation is a risk of repeatedly chambering the
same round. The more common issue is bullet setback, which increases
the chamber pressures often resulting in more negative effects.
> In addition to following the guidance provided above of constantly
rotating duty ammunition that is removed during the unloading/reloading
of the weapon, training ammunition utilized during firearm sustainment
and weapon manipulation drills, should also be discarded if it has been
inserted into the chamber more than twice. This practice lessens the
likelihood of a failure to fire or more catastrophic results.
A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government. --George Washington
Interesting - thanks for posting it.
Not the first time I've read something like this. Makes me wonder if I should discard that rechambered ammo after several go arounds. Cheap life insurance. Interesting reading, thanks.
Never heard of that before, but I can certainly see how it happens.
I try to keep from re-chambering more than three or four times, then it gets shot up at the next range session. While I keep an eye out for bullet set-back, this is rather disconcerting because there is no way to visually inspect the cartridge for primer failure.
Thanks for posting!

Thanks for posting. When I go shooting and have to remove the chambered round, or when I remove the chambered round for whatever reason I simply stick it in the back of the box so I know that those are rounds that have been chambered at least once. Once I get to the point where most of the rounds have been chambered once or twice it's time to use them up and buy some more.
"60% of the time...it works every time..." -Brian Fantana
+1 Before I realized the possible consequences of re-chambering, I used to be guilty. I would wipe / oil my primary carry gun once per week. The two top rounds would be recycled through the chamber over and over. Standing them next to fresh (non re-chambered) rounds, it was obvious that they were quite a bit shorter. Never knew about the danger relating to the primer though, thanks!
If you carry Cond 3 you don't have this problem!
But seriously, good info. I just re did my magazines. (Shot them up and re-loaded them and marked the top two with a Sharpie as a reminder)
I had no Idea,but I only unload the 1911 whenever I'm shooting,or cleaning,sounds like I need to start using a sharpie to color cases that have been chambered until the entire mag is colored,then repeat by wiping them off on the second chambering,after that they get shot and new ammo is loaded up

Good to know.. Thanks!

Any round that has been cycled more that 3 or 4 times is set aside for the range.

I rarely unchamber a chambered round, & put it into the range bag for my next range trip if it gets rechambered 3 or 4 times as well.
Imagine 100's of rechamberings. Wow.

Thank you for the reminder. I also make it a point to rotate my rounds and mark the ones that have chambered a few times.
Stop whining and go do something that makes a difference!
If you think that I may be talking to you, then I am.
I read this article a little while back, thanks for the reminder.

Art Print
Painting the Roses Redby Kim Leutwyler
Collect your choice of gallery quality Giclée, or fine art prints custom trimmed by hand in a variety of sizes with a white border for framing.
New and Recycled hand-painted silk flowers, Oil on canvas, 8'x 6'
Generally speaking, flowers in fine art raise more questions than they answer. Though their visual appeal is straightforward, the interpretation of their bewildering array of meaning is complicated, and often contradictory. The flower can function as a vehicle for contemplating concepts of sex, decay, gender politics, our environment, decadence, ceremony, and the mutability of life, love and death.
I used primarily recycled/rescued white silk flowers with a history of their own to build an iconic arrangement upon which the viewer can cast their own interpretations. However I do not deny my own complex allusion to art history in this piece. By combining the traditions of painting, design and ornamentation, I have created a sumptuous visual feast for lovers of art history, while retaining a beauty for anyone to appreciate. The use of silk flowers in particular, allows me to explore flower politics in an artificial gesture. These flowers and the painted image will outlive both you and I.

Like a lot of the ideas Michel Platini comes up with when left to his own devices, his latest notion of doubling the Champions League to a 64-club tournament begs the question: should Uefa employ someone to stop the president thinking too much in his spare time?
It would not be the most demanding job in the world, just an assistant sharp enough to react the moment Platini's eyes glazed over in the back of his chauffeured limousine. Someone to say "Michel, talk us through that hat-trick against Yugoslavia at Euro 1984 again", before he announces a feasibility study into the viability of letting Europa League teams field a monster truck instead of a goalkeeper.
The chief distractor would have been useful last week when Platini started riffing on the idea of a 64-club combined Champions League and Europa League, an idea so unoriginal he has already done something similar once already. That would be the expansion of the European Championships from a 16 to a 24 team tournament, thus reducing at a strike the quality of one of the most compelling international tournaments.
Expansion is always the least original idea. The simplistic notion that more of a good thing is always better shows a basic unwillingness to grasp what makes a competition so interesting. The Champions League has never been perfect – especially given you do not even have to be a champion to get into it – but part of its attraction has been its exclusivity.
Uefa is certainly right when it frets that the Europa League is boring – that much has been obvious long before it was re-marketed in 2009. But it is boring because Uefa has made it that way. The great monolith begins properly at the first group stages with 48 teams, eliminates half of them and then sucks up the reluctant eight third-place losers from the Champions League to start again with 32 in February.
The problem with expanding the Champions League is that its group stages are already threatening to become dull. Uefa's seeding system means there will occasionally be interesting groups, like the one in which Manchester City perished this season. There will also be the odd surprise result, like Celtic's defeat of Barcelona. But, as a rule, the group stage is an insurance against shock eliminations and it goes on past the point where it is interesting.
For obvious signs of this stagnation look no further than this week's games. Of the 16 places in the first knockout round next year, all but three are already taken. The British interest will centre on groups E and G where Chelsea and Celtic respectively have the opportunity, slim in Chelsea's case, to progress. Otherwise only Group H, where Galatasaray and Cluj can both finish second to Manchester United, has anything at stake.
In three of the groups it is still to be decided which team will finish first and second, which has some bearing in the draw. In two of the eight groups the two eliminated clubs are still contesting the Europa League spot. But even so, with only six out of 16 Champions League games this week having anything significant riding on them, it hardly amounts to absorbing cup football.
The picture in the Europa League is even more dire. There are 12 groups in that competition with 24 places in the knockout stages up for grabs, of which all but four are already taken. One can be claimed in Group A by Liverpool, who play Udinese away on Thursday and must equal or better Young Boys' result against Anzhi to go through. Another of the four will go to Tottenham if they avoid defeat at home to Panathinaikos in Group J.
In the Europa League this week there will be 24 matches played and 17 of them are effectively dead rubbers. It is not anyone's idea of cup football. It is a bloated, dreary competition, with clubs forced to go through the motions and supporters forgiven for staying at home.
The solution is not more groups and more meaningless games. The sophisticated alternative would be to make the Europa League a home and away knockout competition from the very start, following the format of the old European Cup and Uefa Cup. There should be no consolation for the third-place losers in the Champions League, just a lot of needle from the start.
The beauty of the League Cup in this country is its novelty factor: a knockout competition in the autumn. While the league tables are just taking shape and the European competitions are sleepwalking through their group stages, the dear old Capital One Cup is running to extra time and penalty shoot-outs.
Unsurprisingly, Barcelona want a bigger Champions League at the expense of domestic leagues. Of course they do. Along with Real Madrid, their stranglehold on La Liga's television revenue has eviscerated the domestic competition, and made it so that only two teams count, notwithstanding Atletico Madrid's resurgence this season.
As my colleague Glenn Moore pointed out in these pages on Saturday, it was the meeting in 1987 of Real Madrid and Napoli in the first round of the European Cup that gave rise to the notion that the big clubs should be protected from facing each other until the latter stages of the competition. Twenty-five years on, the fruit of that protectionist instinct is a week like this with game after game that simply does not matter.
Everything comes full circle. These days we have footballers sporting moustaches again and a movement to bring back safe-standing on terraces. What is old is new. Why not a knockout competition in Europe where the big guns risk facing each other in return for the kind of games that people would pay to watch? Platini should know that nostalgia sells. It is his days as a brilliant footballer that convinced a lot people he would make a decent administrator.
Small-time Arsenal need to set their sights higher
The insistence by Arsenal that players negotiating new contracts at the club accept a 25 per cent reduction in the event of the team not qualifying for the Champions League might sound prudent to some.
To me it sounds like the hallmark of a club who do not believe themselves that they have the kind of players who can qualify for the Champions League for the first time in 16 years.
The history of English football is littered with the salutary tales of clubs who had ambitions way beyond their capability to fulfil them. Arsenal's problem seems to be the opposite. They are so determined to think small, that small is what they will get.
The bottom line for Ridgewell and football
Every great cultural institution has that outrageous moment when it puts itself so far beyond parody that those who seek to satirise it simply throw their hands up in the air and admit they are no match for the real thing. Modern English football with all its extraordinary wealth is no different.
To that end, the day a West Bromwich Albion full-back photographed himself wiping his backside with a pile of £20 notes, as revealed in a Sunday newspaper, is definitely a contender. Step forward, Liam Ridgewell, you really have taken it to another level. On a more practical note, anyone running a business in the Barnt Green area where Ridgewell lives may wish to insist all transactions with him in the near future are by card, not cash.Reuse content

Hi Statalisters,
does someone know how to access the coefficients of the conditional mean
model in "frontier". I specified a model of the following form:
y= alpha + beta*x + e - u
u= alpha + delta*w
Matrix list e(b) lists all the beta and delta coefficients. But when
using _b[w] in subsequent calculations, I get an error message saying
[w] not found.

The use of a bright color palette and gradients can bring a modernistic or playful character to a web design. When done well, bright and sleek web designs are eye-catching and fits a website that drives to convey a neoteric mood. To follow up our tutorial on making a bright and sleek layout, I'd like to present to you some beautiful web designs in the same theme, for your inspiration.

These are really clean and colorful thanks for sharing
I love the Panelfly site. Great use of gradients and color theory.
great looking collection. I love the fonts used for the logos in the Vanilla site, as well as the toffeenut design.
Some really well designed and cool websites here. Nice collection Jacob
nice sum up :D tnx for this DI,!!
Don't most of these sites look just the same? I might be joking :) Anyway, the designs are pretty sleek.
Really nice collection of sites. Thanks.
Awesome sites, and thanks for mentioning us:)
Jacob, thanks for your effort in compiling this gallery of sites – really appreciate it. And, of course, it works extremely well as a follow-up to Ionut's tutorial piece. :o)
Thanks for the feedback Mark. I thought it would be interesting to follow up some of our tutorials with a visual inspiration showcase highlighting designs with a similar theme. Glad you like it.
Beautiful sites!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
thanks a lot for these great websites. are just great. cheers
I appreciate this might come off as insolent, but I truly disagree with the title Inspiration: 40 Captivating Bright and Sleek Web Designs . I think it is a awful disgrace to mankind. I reckon you should certainly be more caring next time. Still I have to say, that your writing is exceptional. Kind Regards, Marica Rosencrans
Rather a convincing entry. I just adore the title Inspiration: 40 Captivating Bright and Sleek Web Designs. Just wonderful!
One thing these beautiful designs all seem to have in common is that they all also mostly use gradients and blends in the background. So, you could have also called this, "40 great uses of backgrounds, gradients and fades". :)
Really nice selection of sites.

What shaped the SCLC?
the Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott of 1955 and 1956 led by Martin Luther King Jr. sparked the creation of the SCLC
other civil rights activists from New York, such as Bayard Rustin, Ella Baker, and Stanley Levison, who also assisted in the Montgomery bus boycott also influenced many of its ideals.
Founding of the SCLC
The Southern Christian Leadership Conference, or SCLC was first named "Southern Negro Leaders Conference on Transportation and Nonviolent Integration."
With the help of other black ministers, Martin Luther King Jr. founded this organization in January of 1957.
The organization elected Martin Luther King Jr. as President because he played a large part of its founding and he represented the ideals and spirit of the group.
Notable Events
Montgomery Bus Boycott-
officially started in December of 1995.
Even though the SCLC was founded about 2 years after this effort, most people who took part and advocated for this bus boycott became members of the SCLC.
an effort where blacks would purposely avoid buses until they could sit anywhere they wanted to.
its success made Martin Luther King Jr. a national symbol of the new black activism in the South.
inspired other bus boycotts in other southern cities such as Birmingham, Tallahassee, New Orleans, and Atlanta.
Montgomery Bus Boycott
Martin Luther King Jr. is talking about strategies for the Montgomery bus boycott.

Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference
Martin Luther King Jr. is cheered on by many supporters when he announces the continuation of the bus boycotts.
What did the SCLC do?
The SCLC was the primary organization through which the southern black church supported the struggles of freedom for blacks in the 1960s.
It gathered southern ministers who believed that the black church had a responsibility to help other blacks through political ways.
It was created to organize and coordinate protests, such as bus boycotts.
King's Role/Impact in the SCLC
Martin Luther King Jr. made many speeches, lead many protests, and constantly fought to represent the ideals of all people for equality.
In 1960, Martin Luther King Jr.'s inspiration he gave as a speaker increased the SCLC's staff, budget, and program by sevenfold. Because of this, the SCLC obtained a full time staff after 1961 and with it, it planned out great protest campaigns such as the one in Birmingham in 1963 and Selma, Alabama in 1965
Even though some staff members focused their efforts for voter registration and citizenship training programs, Martin Luther King wanted to target areas of southern segregation, more specifically Birmingham, Alabama.
These pictures show Martin Luther King Jr. receiving the Nobel Piece Prize award for his efforts in the Civil Rights Movement and leading the SCLC. He donated the cash award($54,600) to the civil rights movement.

August 28th, 1963

PIPPA Middleton's new party book has been beaten in sales by Peppa Pig, it emerged last night.
Despite a big publicity launch, Pip's Celebrate sold just over 2,000 in its first week — putting it below Peppa Pig's Christmas Wish in the UK book charts.
Yesterday it had slumped to 188th, despite Amazon cutting the price from £25 to £12.50.
Pippa, 29, famed for her pert bum at her sister Kate's wedding to Prince William, got a £400,000 advance from Penguin.
But critics panned her obvious tips, including "turkeys are perfect for feeding large gatherings".

Our roaring cheers, highlighted by the glow of the television, were only subdued by my mother's shuffling footsteps and subtle eye roll as she passed us by to scrounge for dinner. My dad's an intellectual, so you might assume that we'd spend our time together critiquing film noir, or even more pretentious, playing chess to the faint pattering of classical music. Instead, we've bonded over our mutually discovered passion for the television show Survivor. Most of our conversations, underscored by the host Jeff Probst, are fairly lighthearted. I vaguely recall predicting the outcome of a tribal council, and much to my horror, my dad expressing that I have "mad skills." And his claim that he would sell me to the circus for a young castaway's hair sure was something special. Of course, our talk of game strategy remains anything but laid-back. You may dismiss our survivor game talks as "lighthearted" as well, but if you were to see the wild, frantic gestures, paired with our passionate arguments both racing to be heard and acknowledged first, you'd know otherwise.
It's fair to say that my dad and I are pretty similar. Perhaps it's because the mechanisms of our minds seem to work within the same operating system, an idea that haunts my dad quite a bit. Neither of us are what one would call sentimental, and the idea of sharing feelings gives both of us one heck of an inward shudder. That's why, over the course of my life, our conversation topics consisted mostly of highly sarcastic, joking interactions, an occasional heated political debate, or a defeated discussion of what we could possibly eat on a given night. As survivor sauntered its way into our house, we still talked about the same things we did before Jeff became part of the family. We both admittedly gush about Bernie Sanders, and the distinct lack of edible food in our house has prevailed as one of the most popular discussion topics (it has been said that my house habitually consists of "nothing plus popcorn"). However, there is a comfort and familiarity between us that wasn't there before.
I've always had a loud mind. Everything I see must be analyzed from eight different perspectives, and internalized for later contemplation. The pinched expression of a person's face or the jittering of their leg signals my brain into a spiral of questions and concerns, and an event on the news brings up the repeated, somber question of "why." I think a lot about how most of who I am and the ways in which I see the world are wound up in a tight coil in my head. In fact, it's become a bit of a running joke within my family. My dad's tendency to internalize, paired with my inability to communicate haven't exactly created a wedge between us, but we were never quite familiar with each other. Somehow, there was a mutual understanding that while both of our heads may have been spread over twenty different places, actually expressing those tangled thoughts to each other created more trauma than it was worth. In fact, the last time I went to talk to him while feeling anxious, I ended up cracking a joke about myself, we both laughed, and called our experiment with sentimentality a day. But now, at the end of most days, we have survivor. A collective breath is released each time we turn on the TV to rant about the intricacies of Survivor politics. We shut off our brains and simply focus on the particularly shocking blindside, or gush about a survivor's athleticism. It's a moment of peace in which I can latch my mind onto one train of thought instead of the dozen tired but angry interlaced ones, and we've grown closer over the appreciation of that fact.

Life on the Mexican Wave
The sand is white
The sun is bright
The water gleams
Calling my name
The perfect day
To experience life
From gliding atop
A Mexican wave
"Que tal!" to the girls
And "Hola!" to the boys
Watching me ride high
Out past the shore
Watching me dip
And watching me turn--
This is the life
For which I was born!
Sometimes I feel
Like I am a slave
To the strength and the pull
Of the Mexican wave

OCA Concerned With Possible Pattern of Racial Profiling of Chinese Americans
OCA Chief Executive Ken Lee appears with Congressman Ted Lieu, Congressman Mike Honda, Carl Hum from Asian Americans Advancing Justice, and Stan Tsai from Asian Pacific Islander American Public Affairs Association on Captiol Hill to call for a Department of Justice Investigation into the Sherry Chen Case
WASHINGTON, D.C. - OCA - Asian Pacific American Advocates, in partnership with six Asian American advocacy groups, issued a letter to Attorney General Loretta Lynch to investigate a possible pattern of racial profiling against Chinese Americans in the wake of the Sherry Chen case.
In October 2014, Sherry Chen was accused of espionage in her role as a hydrologist at the National Weather Service in Wilmington, Ohio. After being handcuffed and escorted away in front of her coworkers, the Federal Bureau of Investigation dropped their charges due to a lack of evidence and it has been suggested that the primary reason for her arrest was her ethnicity.

Wow, it's August already? Summer is flying by and I've had a great time teaching my son how to swim this year, but August means two things for this writer:
1. I'd better wrap up the last of the short stories I owe editors and get cranking on the sequel to Red Equinox.
2. It's almost time for NecronomiCon Providence!
Always a great convention, this year promises to be something extra special as it coincides with H.P. Lovecraft's 125th birthday. Here's a summary of what to expect, from the official press release:
NecronomiCon Providence is a celebration of weird fiction and its roots in the city of Providence. It is a four-day convention that features panels and talks by experts, authors, artists, and historians who are influenced by the life and works of H.P. Lovecraft. It also includes Lovecraft-themed gaming, creative workshops, art exhibits, films, concerts, walking tours, and special events.
Sound cool? It is. And there are still some tickets available.
I'll be joining in the conversation on several panels throughout the weekend. You can also find me in between panels signing and selling copies of Red Equinox at the Lovecraft eZine table in the vendor's hall, which is open to the public.
Talking about the nuts and bolts of fiction writing is all well and good (you can catch me doing just that in this recent interview with the Los Angeles Examiner) but when you write weird books, talking about weird shit once in a while is even more fun, and boy do I get to do that at NecronomiCon.
Here's my schedule:
Friday – 2:30-3:45pm
AH-CULT! MAGICK IN ELDRITCH AND PRACTICE – Waterplace Ballroom, Omni Hotel 2nd Floor
"Magic" is a large part of Lovecraft's writings even if it is not meant to be magic in the traditional sense. How did Lovecraft use the concepts of magic in his fiction? How close is it to ritual traditions? Is there a connection?
Panelists: Richard Gavin, Scott R. Jones, Justin Woodman, Douglas Wynne
Moderator: Anthony Teth
Friday – 5:30-6:45pm
INSANITY IS A SANE REACTION – Narragansett Ballroom, Omni Hotel 1st Floor
Insanity, or the seemingly inevitable path toward it, seems to be a common pattern in Lovecraft's stories. How (and why) did Lovecraft employ this common theme, and what might this say about his own psychology? And, why does his writing appeal so much to society's "outsiders"? This panel explores the aspects of Lovecraft's fiction that set it, and us, apart.
Panelists: Joseph Zannella, Kenneth Heard, Shane Ivey, Damien Angelica Walters, Douglas Wynne
Moderator: Jack Haringa
Saturday – 1-2:15pm
FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE – Waterplace Ballroom, Omni Hotel 2nd Floor
We all know the scene: investigator finds ancient book of forbidden knowledge that unleashes evil and terror upon the world. Lovecraft created the most sinister of them all with the NECRONOMICON but there are many more as well. Enough to equip a library of 'forbidden knowledge'. Do you know who created "Nameless Cults"? Or 'The Book of Eibon'? Join us for a bibliophile's delight, or NIGHTMARE, as we chart the best and worst of these forbidden tomes.
Panelists: Robert M. Price, Sean Hoade, Douglas Wynne
Moderator: Pete Rawlik
Sunday – 10:30-11:45am
ON LOVECRAFT AND PHILOSOPHY – Garden Room, Biltmore 2nd Floor
Just what is "cosmicism" and where does it fit into the philosophical realm? For all of his professed loathing of modernists, Lovecraft used his fiction to push some radically modern (if not post-modern) ideas. Panelists will attempt to tackle the "pessimism"–this is hardly an appropriate word–of Lovecraft's cosmic horror, as well as place it within the greater context of the evolution of 20th-century thought.
Panelists: Michael Cisco, Andrew Migliore, Mike Davis, Sean Hoade, Douglas Wynne
Moderator: Alex Houstoun
Here's the official site with the full schedule and more info. I hope to see some of you there!

I recently finished and sent off my latest short story. "Rattled" is a twisted coming-of-age tale set to appear in what's shaping up to be a fantastic anthology alongside a full roster of writers I greatly admire. I can't tell you how excited I am to be a part of this project. The cover art was revealed over the weekend, and the book is currently slated for a December release in both paperback and hardcover.
Here's more info from JournalStone:
The Gods of H.P. Lovecraft: a brand new anthology that collects the twelve principal deities of the Lovecraftian Mythos and sets them loose within its pages. Featuring the biggest names in horror and dark fantasy, including many NY Times bestsellers, full of original fiction and artwork, and individual commentary on each of the deities by Donald Tyson.
About the book: Lovecraft's bestiary of gods has had a major influence on the horror scene from the time these sacred names were first evoked. Cthulhu, Azathoth, Nyarlathotep, Yog-Sothoth—this pantheon of the horrific calls to mind the very worst of cosmic nightmares and the very darkest signs of human nature. The Gods of H.P.

I was seven years old when I saw the first Star Wars movie and discovered that I wanted a lightsaber, the quintessential high-tech phallic symbol and power object of my generation. Later, when I was the quintessential slacker, I would study the lightsaber in great detail — getting to know the particulars of each prop hilt used in the films and the differences between them before I finally got around to channeling my geek creativity into writing books and indoctrinating my son into the galactic mythology of his people. I even collected a few replica lightsaber props along the way and eventually my interest in sword-like objects led me to study Iaido, the Japanese martial art of the samurai sword (cultural prototype of the Jedi weapon). Today my favorite lightsaber shares a stand with my katanas on the bookshelf beside my writing desk, collecting dust.
But now that I've seen the second teaser trailer for The Force Awakens, my interest in Star Wars has reawakened, and I'm giddy to see that they seem to have got the details right this time out.
There was a minor uproar after the first teaser trailer went online (bitch all you want about the so-called "cross-guard" saber in the hands of that villain—I personally think it represents a crude attempt to reclaim a lost craft with the side emissions serving as vents to balance an unrefined energy level) but the new trailer should give fans new hope for the film, and once again it's a lightsaber sending the signal.
The original iconic prop from 1977 was an antique Graflex camera flash with the bulb and reflector removed and some rubber grips glued to the handle. The prop makers attached vintage calculator display bubbles to the clamp to resemble an exotic power switch and a belt-clip ring on the bottom. A quirky, yet elegant piece of gear that felt (like all Star Wars artifacts at the time) endowed with complexity, history, and functionality.
When the weapon reprised in The Empire Strikes Back, it had undergone a few changes: the calculator bubbles had been replaced with a circuit board and the grips were now studded with rivets, but it was still a 3-cell Graflex flashgun and for the fans who noticed the differences at all, it was easy to imagine that Luke had made a few upgrades or repairs.
Fans catalogued the variations, and for many years antique camera buffs hated us for driving up the auction prices on what should have been relatively affordable accessories. But hey, if Luke's lightsaber wasn't our holy grail, it was our Excalibur.
On screen, the saber was lost when Vader cut Luke's hand off, and we didn't see it again until it was shiny and new and hanging from Anakin's belt in Revenge of the Sith.
Things got ugly for lightsaber geeks in the prequels. Now the hilts had big red buttons, as if a Jedi couldn't find his dick without a neon sign. And George Lucas threw all regard for continuity out the window. I can point to at least two scenes in two films in which editing results in a character inexplicably holding the wrong lightsaber. But worst of all, the weapon that would pass from Anakin to Luke via Obi-wan, the object that should have been the key symbol uniting the two trilogies, was not a prop from the Lucasfilm archive but a new chrome and gold plated, machined hunk of metal in the shape of a Graflex with details suggestive of the hilt that Obi-wan hands Luke in A New Hope.
Plenty of filmmakers can let details slide, safe in the knowledge that the audience won't notice, but Lucas let this stuff slide knowing that millions of toys were going to replicate the details and put them in people's hands!
Now we see that saber again in the second Episode VII trailer and learn that it will once again be a symbol uniting the trilogies. As it should be, because it is the Excalibur of the Star Wars mythology. And, while we only get a glimpse in low light, it sure looks like they're using a Graflex handle with rivets in the grips, just like the one Luke lost with his hand at Cloud City.
To me, that's a signal that the filmmakers are geeks who grew up with a passion for the story and that they care about getting the details right. It also indicates that we are to some degree returning to the aesthetics of The Empire Strikes Back, the crowning achievement of the series. To quote Han Solo, "Chewie, we're home."

Winter has been brutal here in Massachusetts, but anyone with a TV probably knows that. At our house, the mountains of snow have overtaken the entire property, and digging out the mailbox has become my twice-a-week cardio workout. Between the arctic temperatures, school snow days, and a flu that keeps mutating and bouncing around our family, it has been hard to stay healthy and get any writing done. But the pressure to do just that is back on because I just signed a new 3 book deal with JournalStone!
Red Equinox has been out for a little over a month now and it's catching on with a wider readership than I've seen before. My sincere THANKS to everyone who has bought the book, talked it up to a friend, or posted a review. It helps more than you know and enables me to stay in the game.
In the thick of the blizzards and flu battles, we managed to have a couple of great launch events at my two favorite indie book stores: Jabberwocky in Newburyport and Water Street in Exeter. Thanks to Jill Sweeney-Bosa, Christine Sadowski, Sue Little, and Dan Chartrand for making those a success. Exeter TV 98 sent a cameraman to the Water Street reading, so I might have a video link for that eventually if they bleep my f-bombs and upload it. I read the scene where Becca first encounters Moe Ramirez in the abandoned textile mill. Fun. Here are some pics…
Also in the A/V department, I did an interview with Adam xii on Radio BDC last Thursday. You can listen to the audio right here via Soundcloud.
The segment only runs about 15 minutes but we managed to cover everything from the pronunciation of "Cthulhu" to the connection between the Boston Marathon Bombings and the fictional Boston of Red Equinox. And if you haven't had enough of my jaw wagging about the new book, next Sunday (3/1) I'll be a guest on the Lovecraft eZine video chat at 6pm eastern with Mike Davis and crew. We'll be giving away a few copies of Red Equinox to random viewers. Tune in and check it out if you get a chance.

I am writing this under an appreciable mental strain for Friday evening has arrived and the pressures of dark forces have accrued, but by the time I set down my pen, I shall be buzzed, for I have obtained the amber elixir.
The origins of the potion are shrouded in mystery. The formula is hinted at in the dread Necronomicon: honey from the hives of winged creatures that haunt lonely hills and whisper with voices that buzz in crude imitation of the speech of men. Hops from the meadows that border the river Oukranos where it winds beside the Enchanted Wood on its way to the Cerenarian Sea. Alcohol content calibrated to the mystic numeral seven. A potion shunned by pregnant women, for it is rumored to produce abominations.
The dark satanic mill from whence it came was founded in Rhode Island in the Yuletide of 1890, year of the nativity of our prophet H.P. Lovecraft. Whether or not the prophet himself ever ingested the earlier incarnations of the sacramental brew is a matter of some speculation. However, his writings predict the fate of the potion with oracular clarity.
At the end of Lovecraft's tale "The Haunter of the Dark," a superstitious doctor casts the gem of power known as The Shining Trapezohedron into Narragansett Bay, where it is believed to be lost forever. And yet, in the book Red Equinox, we learn that the gem was subsequently retrieved from the depths by descendants of the Starry Wisdom Church and its power once again tapped to fuel their dark rites. So too, the Narragansett brewery was once relegated to the wrecking ball but has since been resurrected to unleash the power of Lovecraft Honey Ale on the world in January of 2015, three days after the publication of the dread tome Red Equinox.
Great power lost, now tapped again.
Coincidence? I think not.
Some believe the potion is the Space Meade foretold by August Derleth, prescribed as a defense against interstellar travel. I hope they are right as I intend to serve small doses of it to the celebrants who will gather to hear readings from the red book at Jabberwocky in Newburyport, MA and Water Street Books in Exeter, NH on the evenings of January 30th and 31st.
The elixir, difficult to obtain, now occupies a glass upon my desk: a deep amber red reminiscent of the lost gem, topped by lacy golden foam. It flows smooth as the sea into Innsmouth harbor, bringing a scent of sweet honey and herbal overtones. And yet there is an underlying bitter note—a darkness befitting its origins—that courses through the sweet bouquet and lingers for a moment inspiring one to ponder the fathomless icy reaches between the stars.
I have acquired 24 canisters for my congregation. I may need more, for having sampled one; I am tempted to consume them all.

So this weekend I ended up watching the entirety of the anime Gurren Lagann (Netflix pulls it down August 1st) all 27 episodes. For those who don't know it's a Mecha Anime that parodies/pays homage to the Super Robot Anime Genre that is most primarily associated with the late 60s and 70s of the anime industry. For those who don't know what anime is... I'm not going to be that helpful <.< >.> wiki it if you truly don't know what I'm talking about.
Anyway, Gurren Lagann is the story of two young men who live underground and dream of living up on the surface. After an incident when their underground village is attacked by a "Gunman" (the enemy bad guy mecha of the show) they make it to the surface only to find that Beastmen are preventing mankind from living on the surface. The two then end up leading an army to "free" mankind. That's a decent synopsis of the plot anyway.
Now, this show was extremely hyped up for me. 10/10. Best Anime Ever. Best Show Ever. Nothing holds a candle to it. Super epic, you'll never see anything more epic, etc. Now personally--
I don't see what the big deal is with it. I didn't find it unbelievably epic and I often found the lack of logic in the show (The show is definitely more focused on what's cool and what's flashy and awesome than a coherent set of rules/physics for the universe it's playing with) and I often found the show repetitive (How do we defeat this super awesome bad guy!?!? Get a bigger drill!! and what about this even superer awesomerer bad guy!?!?!? Get an EVEN BIGGER DRILL!!!!). Now, I've heard that the true target audience for it is 15-16 so maybe I've just 'outgrown' this kind of show (though I still love Getter Robo so...?) But this is all beside the point, the question for today isn't whether you're a Gurren Lagann fan or hater anyway.
After watching the show I wanted to see if anyone else felt the way I did (felt the show was a bit overrated) so I ventured online and searched for opinions on Gurren Lagann and I stumbled upon a forum topic from a couple years ago on some anime fan site. In it people discussed how the 1 to 10 scale is flawed, that most people vote either 1 (they hated it) or 10 (they loved it) and rarely are the numbers in between used. Now this got me thinking, while some people do use the scale like that, how do most people use the scale?
Personally this is how I use the scale. I assign points to each category for a show/movie/game.
Show gets 3 points for a strong plot.
Show gets 3 points for strong characters.
Show gets 3 points for good visuals.
Show gets 1 point for doing something extremely original.
So if I were to score Gurren Lagann it'd go something like this:
2/3 for the plot.
2/3 for characters
2/3 for the visuals
0/1 for something extremely original/mind blowing/whatever (Brownie point?)
So for me Gurren Lagann is 6/10 But that's how I use the 1 to 10 scale when I'm scoring stuff. It's a bit different for games, but you get the idea. SO! How do you use the 1 to 10 scale? Or do you have your own personal scale for rating things you like?
Also, while anime has fan-service I have--

Gupta has been accused of referring the tainted relationship manager Shiv Raj Puri's name to other employees within the Hero Group in return for a commission of Rs 20 crore from Shiv Raj Puri. With Gupta's arrest many more skeletons will tumble out of the closet of this high-profile case.
Officials have raised suspicion of many other officials in the case. Cases of employees of Hero Group investing in schemes promoted by Puri has come under the limelight. Estimated to the tune of Rs 50 crore, the scam has hit the reputation of the bank.
Police officials investigating the matter revealed that most of the money was fraudulently collected by Shiv Raj Puri and channelised through two brokerage firms namely Religare and Bonanz. According to Gurgaon Police Commissioner SS Deswal, of the Rs 300 crore involved in the fraud, Rs 200 crore belonged to corporates and Rs 100 crore to individuals.
The Hero Group had earlier given a public statement that they were the victims of the Citibank fraud. "Some of the Hero Group entities, along with some others, are victims of the fraud conducted through one of the Citi branches in Gurgaon," the statement said.
The schemes aimed at high-net worth individuals was carried out using fake SEBI forms and promised people of high returns for non-existent schemes.

In the ESRI Map Book, Volume 23, they show how mapping of an Alcohol Impact Area in Tacoma WA was able to map the number of drunk and disorderly events in relation to businesses that sell alcohol. They were able to use the information to stop the sale of single containers of alcohol, which reduced the number of complaints by 19 percent.
Is anyone aware of a similar program where they were able to adopt a zoning or general law ordinance to actually have a liquor license removed? Is there anyone here from Tacoma who could PM me more details about the program.

Statistical modeling and optimization for exopolysaccharide production by Lactobacillus confusus in submerged fermentation under high salinity stress

In the last two decades, many studies have been reported that a high concentration of NaCl suppresses exopolysaccharide (EPS) production in lactic acid bacteria. In the present study, however, the enhancement of EPS production by Lactobacillus confusus under high salinity stress in submerged fermentation was demonstrated using response surface methodology via a full factorial design. Under the optimized conditions of 3.33% NaCl, 20 g/L sucrose, and 35 h of incubation, the EPS yield was 10.87 g/ L with 178% higher than the maximum yield (6.12 g/L of EPS) produced from the modified MRS medium without NaCl. Biomass production was independent of EPS production. A high yield of biomass was obtained in the culture with 0.23% NaCl. This results indicate that high salinity stress by NaCl can enhance EPS production in submerged fermentation in uncontrolled pH cultivations by inducing the production of cell-associated dextransucrase.

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add cumin and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add beans, water, orange zest and juice, salt and pepper; increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, stirring often. Transfer to a blender with cilantro, lime juice and 3 tablespoons sour cream. Puree until smooth. (Use caution when pureeing hot liquids; see Tip.)
Step 2
Combine the remaining 1 tablespoon sour cream and ground chipotle in a small bowl. Serve the soup garnished with the chipotle cream and scallions.
