Maybe She's Born With It? Like Hell She Is
I look good for my age*. By all accounts, in terms of my outer dermis -- I'm aging "well."
On the topic of beauty I am of the mind that there are things we can do to stave off the sands of time, and there are those things that have been given to us on a silver platter -- like good 'ol genes.
When it comes to the skin lottery I cashed in big with my mother, whose own family members often called her a "good witch" as it would seem that she defied the laws of aging.
My mother never had any work done, never had a facial (let alone let anyone touch her skin!) slept in her makeup and used the most inexpensive cleansers. She barely had wrinkles on her face even as she was passing from cancer this past April just weeks shy of her 78th birthday.
She actually looked luminous -- it baffled the palliative nurses.
I credit her for my oily t-zone which has been a blessing in disguise -- keeping my skin looking naturally radiant and dewy. Thanks to her, the texture of my skin is naturally thick and practically immune to crow's feet.
I can also admit that not having children yet or as Louis C.K. so gently puts it: "having people come out of your vagina and step on your dreams" has definitely impacted my fountain au youth. Those little munchkins g-d bless them are wrinkles in a jar, and while I yearn for one on the daily, I know my skin is the way it is, based on the dearth of kidlets in my midst.
Some of us are born with unique physical gifts that do take us through life, to a point.
Maybe She's Born With It...Damn Skippy I Was!
For example in my case...those two flotation devices you're staring at where normal people's lips exist? Yes, those puppies of mine are in fact REAL despite incessant naysayers to the contrary who constantly ask me "who does your lips?" and are mystified when I simply say "The Lord!?" These are my natural, born-this-way lips that until my late teens were actually regarded as a curse, but have ultimately served me quite well. Once upon a time I also had a naturally thin physique whereby I got away without working out way beyond what seemed fair to most of my peers, and again this too was a blessing.
Sadly, as the sands of time sift through this ephemeral spinning wheel of life, screwing with everything from my metabolism to my hair -- even my flotation devices (my lips) are starting to get smaller. Mick Jagger's lips were once gorgeous puffed up pillows and are now sad, thin, drooping prunes. I imagine this is the trajectory my lips will eventually take, but like the Great Wall of China, mine can still be seen from outer space (for now).
Now my mother was the rare exception of ageless beauty, not the rule. I firmly (pun intended) believe that after a certain age, you're either working at maintaining your looks or you are letting mother nature take over -- and that bitch is like bull in a china shop.
Like my mother, I have been very adamant in avoiding the sun, but unlike her I've tried every potion, lotion, snake oil and service available on the market. I have had over 50 facials, a dozen Microdermabrasion treatments, a stab at some facial filler (marionette lines and cheeks) and of course, there's my boyfriend "Bo" -- oh...have you two not met? Bo', short for Botox, came into my life five years ago and we have been seeing each other twice a year now on the regular. Bo has been a saviour for my trouble spot the '11 wrinkle' right in between my eyebrows. My '11' has no real defense mechanism and in my opinion is the biggest indicator of 'le aging.'
Some women have a 1, an 11, or (the horror!) a 111.
The 11 wrinkle shows up early in life but becomes perma etched in ones facial topography by a woman's early 30s. After years of professional furrows, my 11 wrinkle made me look hard, angry and quite frankly permanently pissed off. Bo' has changed all that, and even gives a slight lift to the eye area. My go-to-skin-guru is dermatologist Dr Lisa Kellett M.D., F.R.C.P.(C), D.A.B.D. from DLK on Avenue in Toronto, whose own skin is like a milky diaphanous dream. Her approach is subtle and is oceans away from the permanently alarmed look that's all the rage with certain celebrities.
Dr. Lisa Kellet
I think the biggest ruse that women try to sell themselves, and each other, is that WE are aging naturally. While some of us are 'maturing' better than others, my belief is that after a certain age most women are actively doing their personal best to slow down father time -- they're just not telling anyone about it.
I recently asked a woman slightly older than myself what her secret was after admiring her skin. She told looked me straight in the eye and said "absolutely nothing" -- while her freckled and wrinkled chest, compared to her face which resembled an ice skating rink told a much different story.
It was a bold faced lie and quite obviously Profractional Laser work for which I'd sell my left buttock for. Now I know essentially her skin care regimen is really none of my beeswax, but who did she think she was fooling? A wink and a smile would have gone a lot farther than a liar-liar-pants-on-fire denial.
Dr. Kellett who is fiercely private on behalf of her clientele, believes these attitudes could be changing. Either way, she operates on the "don't ask don't tell code of ethics."
"It is an interesting question," says Kellett who believes that a daily skin care regimen and sunscreen are still the best defense against premature aging. "In fact, the trend now is that many people are quite open about non-surgical procedures and like to communicate what they are doing to their friends. Because these procedures are non-surgical, many women do feel comfortable talking about it since the result is a fresher, more rested version of themselves. There is less stigma in doing these treatments as opposed to invasive surgery where the effect is more dramatic."
I've always been one of those gals who is transparent -- to a fault, when it comes to beauty routines. While I may strive for perfection on the outside, I'm the first person to expose those pursuits, and make fun of myself in the process.
Case(s) in point:
*Compliment me on my hair and 10/10 times I'll tell you its extensions, "my weave," or I'll just point to my mane and say "F-A-K-E." For good measure, I'll probably tell you that I have always had 'nervous hair' that have slowly been committing suicide since 1991. I call them jumpers.
*Tell me how my skin is looking great, and depending on how self-loathing I'm feeling, I may point to a menstrual boil on my chin and possibly get out a handy black light to show you pores the size of gum balls. I tell everyone about my 'BO' or my Microdermabrasion, anything about any one of my connective tissues, really.
I can't help it; it's how I'm built. I love to share beauty secrets with my friends, strangers, OK, the mailman -- anyone who wants to know! I don't want to hoard the information I have, but spread it around like croutons on a big, leafy friend salad.
*As for my age, my big fat lips are sealed. Like my mother, that is one disclosure that I like to keep private.
Eighteen-year-old Stodden went under the knife recently to change her natural C breast to DD's. Her surgery was filmed and posted on the Internet for all the world to see.
She had plastic surgery before Kim Kardashian's wedding and also had her second breast augmentation on Season 7 of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians."
The former Olympian opened up to "Access Hollywood" in 2009 about the nose job and partial face-lift he had in 1984. "'Because you're Bruce Jenner, Olympic champ [people said], 'Oh my gosh, you shouldn't be doing things like that.' The media kind of went nuts on that stuff," he said. Jenner later underwent further surgery to correct the previous procedures. "I had it done and not even my close friends knew I had it done," he revealed. "I mean that's how good of a job they [did]."
Abrams was not shy about admitting her recent "adjustments." She had a breast augmentation and "loves her new body," according to her Twitter.
The "Teen Mom" star underwent a breast augmentation back in June. And lucky for her, her boyfriend thinks he's "lucky that she doesn't look like that anymore," in reference to her pre-surgery body.
Alexis Bellino told the Orange County Register she had a nose job.
She revealed on Twitter that she had a breast augmentation.
She has admitted to have breast augmentation surgery, but any work on her face has gone unconfirmed.
When she was 22, she got surgery to go from a B-cup to a C-cup. "It was so dumb... I just got the idea in my head one day, and that was that. There was no talking me out of it," said Kardashian in an interview with Us Weekly. (Getty photo)
In her memoir, "Kathy Griffin: My Life On The D-List," the comedian writes about her very many plastic surgeries, including a nose job, brow lift, Botox injections, dental veneers, chemical hair straightening, chemical peels and liposuction. (Getty photo)
Parton has admitted to breast implants, liposuction, under-eye work, fillers, Botox and removing "the pelican pouch" under her chin. In 2012, she told InTouch, "Anybody that's got the nerve, desire and the money to have surgery, should find a good doctor and just do it."
The actress admits to getting a breast-lift in 1991 after the birth of her second child and having collagen injections to her lips. In 1999 Griffith was quoted in Britain's Mirror saying, "I have been thinking about plastic surgery, but I'm not saying where. Turning 40 is difficult. I often think, 'If only someone could put a zip down the back of me and tighten everything up!'"
The "Everybody Loves Raymond" star and mother of four kids, told People why she underwent a breast lift and tummy tuck: "Vanity. I mean it. Vanity. I had four C-sections and my stomach looked like the map of the world. My breasts were hanging down to here from breastfeeding those babies, and my nipples were like platters. I wanted to fit into the gowns that I finally got to wear."
In September 2003 Roseanne Barr spoke to People about her tummy tuck, nose job, breast reduction and face-lift saying: "I want to get butt implants and a waist. But it's been, like, 10 years since I had anything and I'm kind of scared of it. I'm old and I don't know if I"ll wake up from the anesthetic."
Kelly told a friend, "When all else fails, I get Botox injected right here, right into my forehead, as much as possible." She also admitted to getting Botox in her armpits to Elle Magazine.
Adrianne Curry talked to KROQ radio station about her breast augmentation in 2007. The model revealed that after a miscarriage, one of her breasts grew larger than the other, causing a two inch difference in her breast size. Curry underwent surgery to even them out, as it were.
On his radio show in 2006, Howard Stern admitted to having gotten a nose job and chin lipo.
The "Bachelor" star made no secret about her new nose.
Once on "Oprah" Clooney admitted to having an eye lift ... though the actor claimed later to Esquire magazine that he was just joking.
Gwyneth told Harper's Bazaar in 2013, "I won't do Botox again, because I looked crazy. I looked like Joan Rivers!"
"I wish I'd never had my breasts done the last time," she told New Magazine. "They've put these bloody great bags in that are too f***ing round--it's like a water bed on your chest." (Getty photo)
"When I was 19, a doctor put in bigger implants than what I asked for. I was in such a hurry to get them that I didn't research my doctor," Richards told Us Weekly. "I just thought because they're a plastic surgeon, they must be good. You have to be your advocate for your own body and ask 100 questions." Later Richards wrote: "At 19 when I first got my breasts done, I wish that I was confident enough with my body to not have had surgery. That is something that I really want to encourage in my daughters, to embrace their healthy body and have confidence. I actually feel more confident in my skin now than in my 20's. Being confident is one of the sexiest qualities a woman can exude." (Getty photo)
"Me and my friends found a doctor in Arizona that cost about $1,500 to get our boobs done--because they didn't use anesthesia and I didn't know it," McCarthy told WENN. In a later interview with Us Weekly, the former playmate said she was "too young" when she got her implants at 19. (Getty photo)
In an interview with British Vogue, Victoria was asked about the absence of her "torpedo bazookas," to which the former Spice Girl reportedly replied, "gone". (Getty photo)
In an interview with Now Magazine, Kimberly states her famous father was supportive of his daughter when she had the implants put in at 18, and even more supportive when she decided to get rid of them. She recalls, "He's very supportive of whatever I do. He was just like, 'If you don't feel comfortable, if you don't feel safe, just get them removed.'" (Getty photo)
"When I had implants, I felt uncomfortable," the former porn star told Us Weekly. "I would be shy at the beach. I know it sounds funny, but I'd wear high-necked clothes, unless I was at an adult-film convention. So I thought, 'why don't I be who I am and get my real ones back?'"
"I was a 34B, but the right one was always bigger than the left," she told Us Weekly. "He gave me Cs, and I didn't want them. At all." (Getty photo)
Anderson has had multiple breast augmentations.
"I've had a little plastic surgery. I've had a little lipo. I've had a little Botox. And you know what? None of it works. None of it," Curtis revealed to More magazine in 2002. "Ten years ago, before anybody did that, I had fat taken from underneath my eyes because I was on a movie and I was puffy. And I remember the cameraman saying, 'I can't shoot her now.' I remember being mortified. And yet, you know what? Nobody tells you if you take fat from your body in one place, it comes back in another place," she added.
When rumors circulated that Simpson had rhinoplasty in 2006, her initial response was "Everybody's already saying it, so I just don't talk about it." Her dad then acknowledged the surgery, telling Fox News, "Girls have their own ideas. Anyway, there was a real problem with her breathing and that was cured." Ashlee later confirmed it to Us Weekly, telling the magazine, "I was never really unhappy with how I looked, (and) I don't think I am more beautiful than I was (before). I just see the same old goofy girl I see every day."
According to People, the "Hills" star followed up her 2007 nose job and breast augmentation with a 10-hour series of procedures in 2010 that included a mini brow lift, nose-job revision, chin reduction, neck liposuction, buttock augmentation, among others. "For the past three years I've thought about what to have done," she told People. "I am absolutely beyond obsessed." She added, "I was made fun of when I was younger, and so I had insecurities, especially after I moved to L.A. People said I had a 'Jay Leno chin'; they'd circle it on blogs and say nasty things. It bothered me. And when I watched myself on The Hills, my ears would be sticking out like Dumbo! I just wanted to feel more confident and look in the mirror and be like, 'Whoa! That's me!' I was an ugly duckling before."
The "High School Musical" star opened up about her nose job to People in 2008, and the inevitable tabloid criticism that followed, telling the magazine that "people were saying I was 'unveiling my look,' but I was still recovering! That's not what I look like right now." She added, "I think I still look like me."
"I've had my breasts done. But my breast operations were a nightmare. They were really botched in every way. If anything, they were worse after than before," the "Turn Back Time" singer told People in 1992.
In 2011, the "Glee" star told David Letterman that she'd had her nose done, after breaking it twice. Of the second fracture, she explained, "I couldn't get it fixed because we were in the middle of doing this concert tour and we were filming. We had a day off and I met up with some of my friends and we were dancing. And again, there was another collision of sorts -- I must be turning too quickly, people don't see me coming or something -- but it's fixed now!"
In 2006, the singer-songwriter told People, "Last year I had so many lines coming in at the side of my eyes up here. So I went in and got my eyes done, and I'm not happy about it. (The surgeon) is going to go in and fix that for me. They're too tight around the eyelids for me. It drives me crazy. "
In a 2010 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Rivers discussed her notorious penchant for plastic surgery, telling the magazine, "Babies respond to pretty faces. So stop telling everyone it's okay not to be pretty! If you can fix it, fix it! If it makes you happier. I love to look in the mirror and say, 'For 77, you look good.' That's all. I don't care what anyone says. Not bad for 77." In a 2012 interview with Anderson Cooper, the "Fashion Police" host joked, "Every weekend I just go in and I do something new. I get a tenth one free. It's a little like coffee, you just keep going."
In a 1999 Washington Post interview, the "Dirty Dancing" star explained the decision to poke fun at her botched nose job while playing a version of herself on the short-lived sitcom "It's Like, You Know ...." "I decided to make fun of this, to make my fiasco become my reality," she explained. "After all, it's not cancer, and it's absurd that just a nose job could wreak such havoc."
"I admit to having a nose job, but that's all.... I lost my baby fat, and people said I had work done," Spelling said in 2000, according to People.
In 2007, Love acknowledged a nose job on her website, writing that she had her "old nose" back. "I hated that nosejobby nose, it was like a little beak," she wrote, according to People. "[It] looks like the one god gave me so im happy not to have crazy lips and a crazy teensy unnatural little nose."

South Florida is the Wild, Wild West — in the East. You can't turn around without bumping into a crooked cop, a corrupt minister, an embezzler, or a child molester. Probably, that's because the daily newspapers have decided to essentially cease covering politics and crime in favor of school bake sales and spelling bees. Or maybe it's because we're in a region dominated by transients, with no interest in nor spiritual ties to our subtropical paradise. Regardless, nobody much cares about the doings of the region's pols, profiteers, and power junkies. And what's in it for you? In Florida, more than any other state in this great nation, you can get away with anything.
Being a very green mode of transportation, bicycling tends to appeal to the same people who believe in recycling. So why is it so damned hard to find a used bike? Well, it's not anymore — at least not for those who've discovered the Bicycle Fix, a little shop at the corner of Federal Highway and NE 26th Street that opened late last year. Behind this venture is Jason Deal, a young mechanic who can bring a bike back from the grave — at considerable savings for customers, to boot. But that's not nearly Deal's greatest act of heroism. The young entrepreneur donates a large number of refurbished bikes to humanitarian groups, which in turn distribute the bikes in poor nations. Long before the earthquake struck Haiti, Deal was sending bicycles there; some of his wheels have also made it to Africa. So while the Bicycle Fix doesn't have a slick interior, it does have passion and purpose — and that makes cyclists want to reward it with their business.
Rock 'n' Roll was the most complex play of the season — a serious meditation on the intersection of politics, ideology, music, and freedom at the end of the Soviet era. Basically: Velvet Underground, meet Velvet Revolution. Set in both crumbling Soviet Czechoslovakia and the home of a jaded English Marxist, Rock 'n' Roll followed numerous people through 30 years of upheaval and argument and in some moments seemed as big and full of mystery as the era it documented. A hyperwordy play, Rock 'n' Roll was made accessible through a loving, whip-smart, and bottomlessly sensitive production that found two brilliant actors — Antonio Amadeo and Laura Turnbull — doing their best work in several seasons, and one brilliant actor, Gordon McConnell, boiling all of Marxism's bright dreams and grim failures down to a low, angry growl.
You've figured out this much about Sawgrass Mills Mall: By the time you exit the mall, your discounts must outweigh the pains. Sure, for bargain shoppers, Sawgrass Mills Mall is mecca — more than 300 stores. But when the discounts are dismal, when the only clothes on sale are size XXXL, you'll need a three-day recovery from this four-hour trip. The potential pitfalls are many. Your trigger-happy wallet can force you to haul heavy dishes around a retail space of 2.3 million square feet. Sure, you can land three new T-shirts, but you have to park essentially in Boston. You may save 100 bucks on designer jeans, but the mall is crowded, the restrooms sparse, and four people run over your feet with shopping carts. And not one apologizes. You have sore limbs, stubbed toes, and the emotional suffering that comes from when you almost pee your pants. Is it worth Nordstrom, Saks, BCBG, Neiman's, and Barney's? Or Guess, Nike, American Eagle, Ralph Lauren, and Reebok? Time to count the discounts. Before leaving, you may try to unwind at the Rainforest Café, where the fake rain droplets don't mask the screams of children.
Gotta give it to the big fella this year. DeFede, the former Miami New Times and Herald columnist, is one of the few TV reporters still doing real investigative work. He's also about as up on local and state politics as anyone you'll meet. But what he'll best be remembered for this year isn't so much his scoops or his in-depth reports but the questions. When Ponzi wife Kim Rothstein gave a planned speech after her husband, Scott, pleaded guilty to overseeing a $1.2 billion scam, DeFede asked her, "When did Scott tell you he was a crook?" He followed that with, "The money he stole — did you have fun with it?" Some might find them mean-spirited, others might question whether they were fair or professional, but they were exactly the questions a lot of people following the Rothstein affair wanted to ask. And they were pure DeFede in all his rabble-rousing and populist-leaning glory. Alas, DeFede's moment was a bit overshadowed by what happened next: A fight broke out between Kim's bodyguard, Joe Alu, and WSFL/Sun-Sentinel reporter Jack Hambrick during which the much smaller reporter slammed the muscular and tattooed Alu into a planter. Ah, just another day covering South Florida.
The first time we spotted that guy in the chicken suit on 17th Street, it was August. It was a diabolical way to lure customers, really, by exploiting this desperate soul in such heat. Stay strong, Chicken Dude. Some time later, he was minus the chicken head, leaning against the Harbor Shops water fountain, smoking. A pack of scruffy, mean-looking kids ridiculed him with cruel laughter. But Chicken Dude just smiled, Zen-like, enjoying the last few drags of his cigarette and the cool air on his sweaty brow. More recently, he has taken his smoke breaks at his work station — the sidewalk in front of the Embassy Suites — and in that mode, he does not wave. Lately, the chicken head has come off as often as on; perhaps the stress of the job has made him a chain smoker. And there's no trace of that Zen spirit at the fountain months ago. His expression is twisted with disgust and despair. Don't begrudge him; he's entitled to every bit of it, poor fellow. Violent and ingenious methods to avenge his humiliation have certainly occupied those smoke breaks. In one possible scenario, the Chicken Dude, in full costume, takes offense to a remark by his boss and throttles him, in full view of the Chicken Grill surveillance cameras. By the time he's out of jail, the Chicken Dude has become a YouTube celebrity and a hero to recession-ravaged Americans. Police would find the chicken suit, still reeking of sweat, on the shoulder of some road, and the Chicken Dude would be free at last.

(Arsenal win 5-2 on aggregate)
Arsene Wenger's reluctance to speculate about tomorrow's Champions League draw suggests that he suspects the real business of winning Europe's most prestigious prize is about to begin.
Rather than tempt fate or announce a wish-list, the Arsenal coach will simply await the outcome of the quarter-final draw in Nyon, keeping any preference he has to himself.
Having reached the last eight, the big prize is now tantalisingly close, although he knows how easy it is still to slip. Delighted though he was to see his team progress, he still had a word of consolation for his great rival Sir Alex Ferguson following Manchester United's shock exit to Porto at Old Trafford.
"I thought they were really unlucky to concede a goal in the last minute," he said. The absence of United from the quarter-finals for the first time in eight years makes Arsenal the main standard bearer for the Premiership with Chelsea, narrow victors over Stuttgart, cast in a supporting role.
Wenger is indifferent to the prospect of drawing Chelsea, whom Arsenal have already beaten three times this season. "It would be better if both Premiership teams progressed to the semi-final," he said. Logic suggests-that he would rather avoid the two European heavyweights with the most impressive pedigrees left in the draw - Real Madrid and AC Milan.
The same logic suggests to me that his personal preference might be for his countrymen from Lyon or Monaco.
He was, of course, coach at Monaco before moving to Japan and steered the French side into the 1994 Champions League semifinals, where they were beaten by eventual winners AC Milan.
Lyon, the French champions last season, met Arsenal twice in 2000-01, with the Londoners winning away and drawing at home. Meeting one or other of the two French teams would also have the added benefit of being within realistic travelling distance for Dennis Bergkamp, whose aversion to flying would rule him out of the away leg of any ties further afield.
The two other quarter-finalists, Porto and Deportivo La Coruna, both failed to win their qualifying groups. Porto, Manchester United's conquerors, drew with Real in Madrid and finished three points behind the Spanish giants in Group H. Deportivo finished runners-up to Monaco in Group C and fans will recall that they twice beat Arsenal 2-0 in the second group stage matches in 2001-02.
"We're a more experienced team now," said Wenger today. "Maybe in the past we've been a little too anxious in the Champions League but we learned and we have good stability now. I would not make us super favourites to win the tournament with Real Madrid and AC Milan still in there. One has won nine times, the other six times and we've never won it. When you look at teams of that calibre you have to be humble.
"Even so, I think it's quite open with two Premiership teams, two French teams, two from Spain, one from Italy and one from Portugal. What's most important to me in the final weeks of the season is that we have all our players and no serious injuries."
Arsenal have won the Fairs Cup (1970) and the European Cup Winners' Cup (1994) but they have yet to be tested in the real pressure stages of the European Cup, having never been further than the quarter-final stage.
But captain Patrick Vieira is also sure Arsenal have learned their lesson from previous seasons, in particular their last appearance in the final eight three years ago, when they lost on the away goal rule against Valencia after winning 2-1 at Highbury.
At the time, the defeat prompted Vieira to call for the club to invest in more quality to prove their ambition.
Vieira is clearly satisfied that this has been done. He said: "We have 20 quality players to choose from and we have a good squad. Players come in and it is like they have been in there all the time. Everyone will want to play because we now have important games all the time.
"What is the difference from the last time we were in the quarterfinal? We have more experience. We have played in the Champions League almost every year since I came. Every year we learn from the Champions League. We went out to Valencia and didn't deserve to lose. Hopefully, we will learn from that and we can improve and go to the semi-final. We are still a long way from where we want to be. For the club to reach the quarter-finals is good but it is not good enough for us. We want to go forward."
Thierry Henry echoed those sentiment. He said: "To be in the last eight doesn't mean anything to me. The only thing that matters when you start in a tournament is to try to win it.
"Now have to keep our feet on the ground and make sure when we step out on the pitch we do everything to win the game and not just talk about it. There is an atmosphere in our team that is something special."
Bergkamp, an influential figure in last night's victory, damaged ribs and could miss Saturday's Premiership trip to Blackburn.
Last night, Arsenal stretched their winning run in the Champions League to five consecutive games, matching United's record. This is a remarkable turnaround considering their first three Champions League matches this season produced two defeats and a draw, with Lokomotiv Moscow.
The simple fact is that the quality of their football is irresistible at the moment - though last night they barely left first gear. Celta Vigo are struggling near the foot of the Spanish league and played like a team with other things on their mind.
Thierry Henry's two goals took his total in the Champions League to 31. Only Alessandro del Piero, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Raul have scored more.
By the end, with Celta reduced to 10 men following the dismissal of Pablo Contreras, Arsenal were strolling.
Celta manager Raddy Antic said: "Physically and technically they're a very well balanced team playing with a lot of confidence. "For me they are one of the big favourites for the trophy."

The surface is pretty level, rising on both sides, from the small river Brothock, whihc divides it into two parts. The soil is exceedingly various; but upon the whole fertile, and well cultivated. The coast for about a mile East from Aberbrothock, is flat and sandy: at the end of this plain it rises abruptly .... The parish church is old and romantically situated on the top of a small conical mount, near the Brothock .... The chief employment of the inhabitants is the manufacture of cloth for the Abroath market."

Peter Barfoot, master of the New Forest Buckhounds, said: ''If this report is well founded and backed up then no one is going to knock it.
"Yes, we'd have to review what we're doing.''
There are four staghound packs in Britain, one in the New Forest hunting fallow deer and the remainder taking red deer in the West Country. Some, like the New Forest, hardly use any National Trust land while others like the Quantocks are heavily reliant on it.
Yesterday, the master of the Devon and Somerset Stag-hounds, Diana Scott, was in tears as she rang the British Field Sports Society to seek information on the report. She did not want to talk to the press.
The Trust's ruling council is today expected to agree not to grant any of its hunting licences when they come up for renewal later this month. The New Forest's licence has already just expired.
Some of the land involved had covenants or ''memoranda of wishes'' attached to it when it was donated to the Trust, in which the owners insist that staghunting continue in perpetuity.
However, the trust, the nation's wealthiest and best-supported conservation charity, has already squared Sir John Acland, son of Sir Richard Acland who gave a huge tract of Exmoor land with just such a wish attached.
Trust chairman Charles Nunneley said that Sir John had told him if his father had known about the suffering of the deer exposed by the scientists' report, he would never have made such a wish.
Janet George of the British Field Sports Society, which campaigns for huntsmen, shooters and fishermen, said: ''The report is seriously bad news - the degree of these findings has astonished us.''
The report's author, Professor Bateson, said comparisons should not be made between hunting red deer and foxes - but they will.
While it might be supposed that the fox also suffers enormous stress in the chase, they are naturally less sedentary animals than the deer, with more stamina and roam greater distances.
Furthermore, while only 5 per cent of shot red deer are left wounded rather than dead, the culling of foxes with guns probably causes proportionately higher suffering. They are smaller targets and shotguns are usually used, so a higher proportion of shot foxes are probably left suffering the agony of wounds.
There is no real dispute about the need to control red deer. They have no natural predators and would destroy their habitat if numbers were not kept down.
The Trust has been debating the cruelty involved in using hunting with hounds as a control for nearly 10 years without any decisive action - until yesterday. Its top management has been startled and persuaded by Professor Bateson's unequivocal report.
Will the ruling, 52-member council feel the same when it meets today? ''It'll be a bit of a disaster for us if it doesn't,'' said one Trust insider.
The fieldwork was done by biologist Elizabeth Bradshaw, who spent 18 months in West Somerset following the hunts and taking blood samples.
She and Professor Bateson paid tribute to the huntsmen for their full co-operation, but said that if they now continued it was "in the full knowledge that they are causing suffering".
Professor Bateson quoted one ardent, lifelong stag-hunting farmer from the area, who told the scientists: "If your report goes against us, perhaps we shouldn't be doing what we're doing."

Steve Carell makes over a bumbling superspy for a new age in Get Smart.
By KRISTIAN LIN
Back in the summer of 1984, Beverly Hills Cop and Ghostbusters ruled the box offices as big-ticket action thrillers headlined by comedians. Hollywood has been trying to recapture the formula ever since. It�s easy to see why � movies that give you an adrenaline rush and tickle your funny bone equally well are entertaining like few other things in this world. Yet for each one that succeeds (see: Hot Fuzz), many more of them fail (don�t see: Witless Protection), often because filmmakers think they can just stick a gun in a comic�s hand and expect hijinks to ensue. The direction behind the camera is as important as the comedic talent in front, and most action filmmakers can�t loosen up enough to be funny, while most comedy directors don�t have the chops to do convincing action.The agreeably clunky movie version of Get Smart, based on the spoofy 1960s TV sitcom, is helmed by Peter Segal, the veteran of three previous Adam Sandler comedies and the third Naked Gun film. He seizes on the opportunities provided by the big screen, filling the movie with explosions, gunfights, sequences with stuntpeople hanging out of cars and airplanes, and all manner of other stuff that the TV show could never have accomplished. This is the right idea. The more a movie like this looks and feels like a real Hollywood action thriller, the funnier it is. (It�s paradoxical yet true.) Segal�s no Michael Mann in terms of editing � the movie would be truly awesome if he were � but he�s as good with his execution as many lifelong action directors, and his zeal for the job is ingratiating. An even bigger trump card for the movie is Steve Carell, who is tailor-made to portray the blundering secret agent Maxwell Smart. Carell has the same blinkered squareness as the role�s originator, the late Don Adams, but he also has a soft charisma that Adams didn�t possess. Whereas the show�s Smart was more of a straightforward buffoon, the character in the movie starts out as a frustrated desk jockey who submits ridiculously detailed analysis reports of spy chatter. (�Bear with me, gentlemen. The next 100 pages might be somewhat dry.�) He shortly becomes a knowledgeable and resourceful � though highly accident-prone � field agent for the shadowy national security bureau called Control. The star plays the part with an air of studied pompousness that�s repeatedly punctured when Smart gets caught in an elevator or shoots himself with a miniature crossbow. Many of the movie�s laughs come from Carell�s tiny changes of expression as he quietly absorbs the latest, usually self-inflicted affront to his dignity. This layered version of Maxwell Smart is a nifty comic creation, and Carell�s understatement carries it off beautifully.Smart finally snags the promotion he craves after most of Control�s agents are compromised by a mole and liquidated. The Chief (Alan Arkin) pairs him up with the disdainful and far more experienced Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway) to take down Siegfried (Terence Stamp), the head of a supervillainous organization called KAOS that�s planning a nuclear attack on L.A. It�s up to Control to thwart Siegfried, because all the other government officials (including a Bush-like U.S. president played by James Caan) are even more incompetent than Maxwell Smart � there�s a sign of the times for you.Curiously, the movie tends to fall flat during its big comic set pieces such as Smart teaming with a hefty woman to upstage 99 and a low-level baddie on the dance floor at a party. Much better stuff comes from the throwaway jokes, like the kid trying to get his mom�s attention while the climactic car chase whizzes by. The entrance to Control�s safe room, located in the middle of a duck pond, is a gag worthy of the show, as is Smart�s absurd yet rigorously logical exchange with Siegfried over whether Smart is a Control agent. The fight sequence on top of a car involving Smart and Agent 23 (Dwayne �The Rock� Johnson) is creatively resolved, and the deflation of Smart�s final triumph is too good a joke to give away. Suffice it to say we wouldn�t see Jason Bourne engaging in these shenanigans � Matt Damon, maybe; Bourne, no.The abundantly strewn comedic bits carry the film over some minor but distinct rough patches in its final third when the spy plotlines pile up. Those hitches make the whole thing less fluid than the first Austin Powers movie, but they don�t keep it from being the first decent spy spoof since that film came out 11 years ago. Get Smart shares the same �60s playful free spirit, and in Carell�s Smart, it has a character for our time that�s sturdy enough to hold down a sequel. All that�s pretty groovy, baby.

BeschreibungFrom loss, from torture and rape rose two young Americans.
The boy, from the United States whose radical father is murdered by right wing hit men; the girl fleeing from the rape and beating by her Mexican landowner step-father.
The boy, rising to become a revolutionary rock and roll guitarist known as Coilean, La Artista; the girl known as Petra, in honor of the great Mexican female revolutionary who fought with Villa.
Together they do what all others fear: As a right wing US dictatorship wages war throughout the Third World and is imposing a dictatorship in the Americas, they take revenge in a bloody swift machete-like strike deep into the Belly of the Imperial Beast that is broadcast on the web the world over.
Around them rose the tens of thousands.
Together they are rebels in love leading a rebellion in the midst of Hell.

What was your favourite book as a child? I vividly remember encountering Treasure Island as a classic comic when I was about eight, and being blown away by it visually. Then I got hold of the book and read it for myself and I've gone back to it time and time again.
When you were growing up, were there books in your home? Not many. I grew up in a very working class world. Books were expensive; they were a luxury that we couldn't really afford. But when I was six, my parents moved to live opposite to the central library in Kirkcaldy. That fed my habit.
Was there someone who got you interested in reading books or writing? Before I could even read, my mum would tell me stories and take me to the library. But I think what really got me interested in writing was reading the Chalet School books by Elinor Brent-Dyer. In them, there's a character who goes through the process of becoming a writer. That was the first time that I realised writing was a proper job that people got paid for.
What made you want to write when you were starting out? After that, I just wanted to write and to tell stories. And I suppose I grew up in an environment where there was a certain amount of oral history going on. There was a notion that you tell stories and that was the way you maintained your history.
Do you find it easy? Has it become easier over time? Some days it flows and it's wonderful and you can't imagine doing anything else. Other days it's like carving granite with a teaspoon. And the more you learn about the craft and technique, the harder it gets.
What drives you to write now? I still get a huge amount of pleasure from it, but beyond that, it's also the only job I'm fit for, frankly. I think I'd be completely unemployable as anything else.
When it comes to writing, do you have a daily routine? When I'm in the writing stage of the cycle, I have breakfast and go upstairs and start working. I find it comes in 20 minutes bursts. I write for 20 minutes then I stop and go for a walk on the beach, write some emails or put the washing in. Then I go back and do some more. I used to manage about 1,600 to 2,000 words a day but my process has changed and I write more intensely now. Some days it will be 5,000 words or more. When I'm really close to a deadline I'll do nothing for three or four weeks except eat, sleep and write.
Do you find working alone difficult? Being an only child, I grew up spending a lot of time in my own head or listening to adults being boring. I acquired the habit of amusing myself - and found that the voices in my head were generally much more interesting than real people.
What was the best advice you received when you were starting out? To be persistent. Not to take no for an answer. Not to mind about rejection slips - just to keep going.
What advice would you give to new writers? Don't get hung up trying to write the perfect first chapter. The thing to do is hammer on to the end of that first draft. Then come back to the beginning to revise it. You'll never get the first chapter right, and by the time you get to the end of the book what you want from the first chapter will probably have changed anyway.
Is there a secret to writing? The only secret I know is persistence. Stephen King said he knew a lot of talented people but the successful ones were the ones who work hard.
What are you working on now? I've started a new standalone book which is partly set against the miner's strike of 1984 and partly set in the present day.

Simon Ward (born 19 October 1941) is an English stage and film actor.
Simon Ward was born in Beckenham, Kent, near London, the son of a car dealer. From an early age he wanted to be an actor. He was educated at Alleyn's School, London, the home of the National Youth Theatre, which he joined at age 13 and stayed with for eight years. Trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, he made his professional stage debut with the Northampton Repertory in 1963 and his London theatrical bow one year later in The 4th of June. After the Royal Academy, he worked in repertory in Northampton, Birmingham and Oxford and occasionally in London's West End.
His big break in theatre came in 1967 when he played in Joe Orton's Loot, which led to a number of small film and television roles. All of Ward's major film roles were in the 1970s. He starred with some of the finest actors and directors of the time and in some of the most prestigious and popular films made during that decade.
Persistent rumours suggest his first film appearance was an uncredited role as one of the sociopathic students in Lindsay Anderson's If.... (1968), however this is not true.
In 1972, he played the title role of Winston

These night shifts are killing me! All week I'm either working from 6pm-3am or 5pm-2am. Yesterday I tried my hardest to sleep in after getting home around 3 but I couldn't stay asleep past 9am so I just got up and made pancakes. Pancakes make everything better. I mixed 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder with a smashed banana, a slash of egg whites, 1 tbs almond meal, and 1 tbs coconut flour. They were the bomb.
Coconut flour is my new favorite ingredient. I don't know how I went so long without using it in the kitchen. It has a great, slightly sweet flavor, thickens up anything really well, and is super nutritious. If you've been holding off from buying it because it's expensive (that's what I was doing), try ordering it from Vitacost.com. I got it for $5!
Today, I am so grateful I didn't wake up until 12:30. Yay for an 8 hour rest!!
I wish I was one of those people who don't need sleep, but I truly cannot function without at least 8 hours. Kyle and I read that 3% of people can go with less than 5 hours of sleep a night and don't feel tired or worn down. Man I wish I was one of those people!!!!! How productive would you be!?!? Sleep is a huge priority for me. I rarely stay up late studying and seriously never stay out late on weekends.
Now that I'm on this weird schedule for emergency medicine, I'm just focusing on getting 8 hours and then fitting in everything else when I can! The one thing that's going to be hard for me this month is eating on a normal schedule. When you stay up late, it's hard not to eat more than usual. Yesterday when I work up at 9am I wanted breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and also another meal because I was up until almost 4am. Yikes!
As usual, I pack my lunch/dinner when I go to the hospital. Bringing your own food is the BEST option when you want to make healthy decisions at work. If I didn't pack dinner I would hit up the cafeteria late at night, starving, and buy chicken fingers and a cookie.
The night before last I brought shredded salsa chicken (put chicken breasts in a crockpot with 1 can of salsa and 1 packet of taco seasoning and cook for 5 hours, then shred it- BEST CHICKEN EVER. You will thank me later) and lettuce to wrap it up in!
Last night, I brought steak and sautéed cabbage and onions. (Also had an apple and peanut butter on the side 🙂 )
It's also hard to have a normal exercise routine when you work nights. I hit the gym on Tuesday for a 1 hour and 10 minute spin class (again from youtube!) but I didn't workout yesterday because I was trying to nap before I went in to work! Today I should be able to have a good workout since I slept in, but I can already see what a struggle it would be for people with an abnormal schedule all the time.
In other news not related to sleeping or eating, I took all your suggestions and bought some Bare Minerals makeup! I saw this starter pack that included powder, concealer, bronzer, primer, "mineral veil" or a setting powder, and 3 nice brushes for only $75 so I treated myself to it! I also got a lip gloss that's really pretty and makes me feel fancy 😉
Thanks for all your advice!
Have you ever worked a night shift?
Do you eat more if you stay up late?
Do you fit in workouts when your schedule is wacky?

Gurgaon (Haryana), Jan 17 (PTI) The CRPF, engaged inanti-Maoist operations, has trained a batch of young officerswith special skills in jungle survival to carry out ambushesin difficult terrains like those in Naxal hotbeds.
A batch of fifty-six young officers including threewomen, were today commissioned as Assistant Commandants in theworld''s largest paramilitary force, which has deployed almost60000 personnel (sixty battalions) for anti-naxal operationsin various states of the country.
The 41st DAGOs (Directly Appointed Gazetted Officers)batch is the first contingent of the force that passed outfrom the CRPF Academy here after last year''s gruesome naxalattack in Chhattisgarh which killed 75 CRPF men including twoofficers.
"The officers were imparted a special three-weekjungle and survival course during their training. Keeping inmind the operational requirements of the CRPF, including innaxal zones, this module is the most significant feature oftheir training," a senior Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF)officer said.
Assistant Commandants are the cutting-edge levelofficers of a CRPF squad who lead a group of troops intooperations.
The officers have also been trained for unarmedcombat, weapon training, field craft and tactics, intelligencegathering, swimming and rock climbing during their 55-weektraining at various places including at the National SecurityGuard (NSG) base here.
CRPF Director General Vijay Kumar, who took the reinsof the force recently, took the salute of the new officers.
Kumar, who has set an example in the force by joininghis field officers and jawans by laying operational ambushesin the jungles of Chhattisgarh, asked the officers to motivatethe personnel under their command and keep a good regime oftraining and aim for the overall personality development ofthe troops.
Prakash Singh, who won the Home Minister''s Cup and theSword of Honour for the best trainee officer said he was proudof joining the force which has been the mainstay in variouslaw and order and other challenging tasks of counteringmilitants and insurgents in the country.
Banmala Kumar, a resident of Haryana, said she islooking forward to her appointment on the field after a month.

Super Bowl Presents Super Opportunity for Spammers
It's no secret that highly-anticipated events like the Super Bowl generate buzz around everything from commercials to merchandise, allowing opportunistic businesses to capitalize on the millions of eyes viewing from around the globe. However, what many folks fail to recognize is the opportunity events like the Super Bowl also create for scammers to generate disingenuous websites and emails to trap people into paying for items they will never see. This year is shaping up to be no different as proven by Barracuda Labs, which has already detected spam for replica jerseys on sale for the 2016 Super Bowl teams via sites such as pantherssuperbowlshop-dot-com and broncossuperbowlshop-dot-com. Fake Panther Super Bowl site Fake Broncos Super Bowl site Click here for a larger image of both sites. In this particular instance, spam emails from the above sites claim to have replica jerseys on sale, but the links unfortunately lead to false websites. These false websites then ask people to pay for replica jerseys without a secure payment option, and request credit card information for fraudulent purposes. Ultimately, these sites are scamming people out of money by pretending to sell items that they will never ship and even go so far as to claim the items ordered are "Out Of Stock" after payment was already received. How to tell it's a scam: Based on what we've seen in these scam messages, the domains are targeted attacks focused on fans of the 2016 NFL Super Bowl teams (Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos). The domains used here were registered on December 15, 2015, which was right around week 15 of 17 for the NFL – two games before the playoffs started. Our research shows that the registration information points to the spam coming from: tian xiang da sha,405#,wan he lu 99hao,Chengdu,China. Both of the sites request buyers to input personal information including, name, address, credit card info etc. However, once they try to access their cart at the time of purchase –it doesn't allow them to purchase as...read more

text: WASHINGTON, April 3, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Child care costs have nearly doubled in the last quarter century while the percentage of families who pay for child care has declined, according to a U.S. Census Bureau report Who's Minding the Kids? Child Care Arrangements: Spring 2011 released today. The percent of family income spent on child care has stayed constant between 1986 (the first time these data were collected) and 2011, at around 7 percent, for families who paid for child care even though the cost of child care has increased over time. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130403/DC88049-INFO) (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110428/DC91889LOGO) "Perhaps the most critical decision parents make in balancing their work and home life is choosing the type of care to provide for their children while they work," said report author Lynda Laughlin, a family demographer in the Census Bureau's Fertility and Family Statistics Branch. "Child care arrangements and the financial burden they impose on families are important issues for policymakers and anyone concerned about the welfare of children. This report is unique in that it is not only the sole study from the Census Bureau on this topic, but also provides a consistent time-series on trends going back to the mid-1980s." Families with an employed mother and children younger than 15 (see chart) paid an average of $143 per week for child care in 2011, up from $84 in 1985 (in constant 2011 dollars). The median wage for a full-time child care worker did not increase over the last 20 years. The median wage for a child care worker in 2011 was $19,098, not different from $19,680 in 1990 (in constant 2011 dollars). The percent of families who reported they made a cash payment for child care for at least one of their children declined from 42 percent to 32 percent between 1997 and 2011.

Getting The Shaft
By Kickntrue on 1/22/09
How much difference is there between a $100 shaft and a $500 shaft? Is that where we should be investing our golf equipment money?
After many years of experimentation, we have arrived at a club length (approximately 44.75 inches for the average tour player) and flex properties that we find in standard clubs. The right flex is crucial, of course, but most players don't need to worry about more than that.Fair enough. I'd hate to think that $400 bucks mattered.

More than four unemployed people were chasing every job vacancy on average across the UK, rising to 31 in some areas, according to a new study today.
Unison said its research spelt "danger" for the economy and undermined hopes for a recovery, even before this week's comprehensive spending review (CSR), which is expected to lead to huge job losses.
Private firms and the public sector were already being "poisoned" by spending cuts, which Unison warned would swell dole queues and lead to mass, long-term unemployment.
London was one of the hardest hit regions, with 31 unemployed people for every advertised job in Hackney and 18 in Lewisham, while in the South East, the most prosperous region of the UK, the figure was 16, said Unison.
General secretary Dave Prentis said: "The coalition has got it wrong. By only having a strategy for cuts, it has no plans for growth and recovery. Their public spending cuts are poisoning the private sector and condemning the country to widespread, long-term unemployment and low growth.
"This means misery for millions of families and for taxpayers who will be left to pick up the long-term bill.
"Even now, before the drastic spending cuts have hit home, there are not enough jobs to go around. On average, there are more than four unemployed people for every vacant job across the country.
"No sector is safe from the Chancellor's axe. Despite his claims, there will be no refuge in the private sector for the 725,000 public service workers who face losing their jobs. Private industry will be suffering too, with more than half a million jobs set to go because of the cuts."

Three or four months of this, and I will be off to volunteer in Haiti. in 2012 I hope to work a trawler in Oz to raise funds for a year in India.
I will be leaving home in January 2010 for two years of travelling abroad (for the first time ever). A little inexperienced, very excited and extremely glad to do something different to the last 18 years of schooling
I'm going to Africa, South America and then Nepal for volunteering and travelling, and I hope to take train through Northern Asia and Europe to get back to the UK.
I'll be free wheeling alone once I leave Africa, so any offers of advice or companionship are welcome!

I know the P3AT does, and I believe the P32 does, not sure on any other Kel Tecs. My P3AT works this way..
Be safe.
PS, for a holster check out the DeSantis Nemissis pocket holster, nice price and works very well.
This is a discussion on Kel-Tec P3AT Trigger Q: within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Hey there everybody. I have a question about the Kel-Tec trigger. I read that it is double-action-only, but when I went to a jewelery/pawn shop, ...
Hey there everybody. I have a question about the Kel-Tec trigger. I read that it is double-action-only, but when I went to a jewelery/pawn shop, they had three Kel-Tecs, one .32 and two .380's. When I dry-fired all of them (with permission of course) they all went through the cycle the same way.
The trigger is pulled, the hammers comes back, and then the hammer pops to hit the firing pin. But, the trigger doesn't reset. In other words, it won't do what a regular DOA trigger normally does. Its more of what a GLOCK/Springfield XD trigger will do, if it makes more sense at what I am trying to say.
Anyways, I have to pull back the slide to "reset" the trigger to do it again. Other than that, they look pretty stable and I went ahead and put one on layway with just $30.
So the official question is this: do ALL Kel-Tecs do that? BTW, all of the Kel-Tecs are brand new along with some other pistols, the only ones that were used was a SIG P228 and a SA XD-9.

I believe the Kel Tec's are striker fired & that's why they're similar to the Glocks & Springfield XD's.

When the slide returns to battery after having been fired or when chambering a round, the hammer goes to a 1/2 cock-like position. The trigger can not reset if it the slide has not cycled.
There is no second strike capability - get a dud round and you must manually cycle to continue firing.

Do yourself a favor before carrying a Hell-Tec for self defense. Torture test it. My brand new out of the boc POS3AT broke immediately. I bought it, fired about a box through it, and then carried it for a while. The very next time I fired it, it had a complete and total failure. Something in the trigger mechanism broke and turned it into a lightweight concealed carry paperweight. And this is a fairly common problem. The Keltec is hit or miss. Some seem to work forever, and some seem to come from the factory pre-broken it seems. If yours works, that's cool. But be 100% sure you don't have one of their many problemed chidren before you trust it with your life. KT customer service is far from good. I got the ole one finger salute and was told I had to pay to ship it back at my cost. And if they decided that their brand new gun broke because of a manufacturing flaw and not user error, they would fix it, but not reimburse me for shipping.
Rest In Peace Dad! I love you!!!
Failure rate of the current 2nd generation P3ATs seems no higher than with most other guns. However, the above advice, to "torture test" you new pistol is absolutely sound. Do it with any new gun you might have to depend on in a spooky situation.

I do have 3 KelTec's...none of them have ever given me any trouble. They are not a 'take to the range for fun' gun...but they have been dependable.
I don't doubt your opinion, but I am a bit curious of how you determined "And this is a common problem." Can you please state your factual source of info?

Kel Tec used to have several problems, but at least most of them have been resolved. Now, a fluff n buff is about all that is needed on any of the guns.
Mine has been 100 percent out of the box. It has worked though several thousand rounds, and doesn't show any signs of stopping any time soon.
"The only people I like besides my wife and children are Marines."
- Lt. Col. Oliver North
But it's a fact that mine broke. And it's a fact that I have been present for others that broke. And it's a fact that several trustworthy people that I know had theirs break on them. And you can check other internet gun boards and find several threads regarding broken Keltec triggers.
If mine was the only one to ever break I would call it a fluke. But this has happened numerous times over the last couple of years just where I live and it has been a problem to P3AT owners on several gun forums. And it is the same problem over and over.
If a couple of hundred Chevy Silverados suddenly failed completely within a years time, all from the same problem, that would be considered a "common problem" among the Silverado and there would be a recall.
So yes, I consider the problem with the Keltec trigger a "common problem".
A friend of mine has offered to sell me his P3AT dirt cheap. He has had luck with it so far. But if I buy it I will torture it for a while before I'll ever trust it. And that's what I recommended to the original poster.
Rest In Peace Dad! I love you!!!
500 rounds through my POS KEL Tec and NO PROBLEMS. Mechanical problems or operator problems who knows. But I have NO problem trusting my life to MY P3AT.
ANY gun you buy sooner or later is going to have a small number in the production run that aren't up to snuff.
Look at some of the Kimbers that had extractor problems..
KT customer service, from what I've heard is superior to the vast majority of other gun makers.
Heres another place to ask your questions.
They are strictly a Kel Tec owners group and can tell you anything and everthing about a KT, good or bad.
Be safe.
Well, since it is on layaway, I guess I have no other choice but to finish it. At least it is just $250 versus $550 for my used SIG and $600 for my Beretta. But I still wanted something small but no less than .380 since I gave my Beretta to my GF. It also had to be reasonably cheap. The Kel-Tec came very close. I didn't want to pay another $500 for a Walther PPk or Beretta Cheetah, nor did I want a super-duper cheap made pistol.
I am sure that I did the standard check on that Kel-Tec. I ran the slide multiple times, pulled the trigger at least four times (i think I annoyed the seller), so it felt sturdy enough for me the buy it.
I guess wish me luck.
BTW: Any recommendations for magazine extensions, rubber grips, and maybe pocket holsters?
A large number of people that are on here have the 3at and love them. I have never had a problem with mine and do not know anyone else that has . Hope you have no problems with yours.
I believe the rate of return to the factory for gen 2 kts is around 3.5-4% according to KT's rep over the phone. Didnt call Colt's, Kimber, Sig, or Glock, but I imagine they have somewhere near the same.
Just for info, my 2nd Gen KT was field tested with 200 rounds of Fed Classic HiShok 90gr hp ammo. 0 problems of any kind. A lot of folks I know carry KTs here cuz the weather is so hot. And the kt can be dropped in a Nemisis holster and it just dissapears. I PERSONALLY have not seen a kt failure. My father is a firearms instructor with the county so, and he has not seen any failures with the 2nd gen kt. Saw some with the 1st gen. That seems to have been ironed out. It is not my first choice in a defensive handgun. But, due to some low back surgery, it was near 'bout all I could carry for extended walks. And it beat nothing as I couldnt run from a fight/dog attack, or wrestle. So, it was the lesser of two evils. NO gun, and Small gun. Now, as a second gun that is easy to conceal, I like it.
If it were to be a primary gun for whatever reason for extended periods, I would just get two. Two of these pistols is as easy as one plus its reload.
Just my humble opinion and experience.
