In follow up, has anyone used MBI ammo?
Thinking of getting this for practice ammo, long as it's not total shit ammo.
1000 Rounds of .40 S&W Ammo by MBI - 165gr FMJ http://www.bulkammo.com/bulk-40-s-w-...165fmjmbi-1000
Hey guys,
How's everyone doing? Good I hope? I'm just here in Colorado/NM trying to avoid wildfires myself!
Anyways, I have a question about .40 cal ammo. I received a Springfield XD 40 with a 3" barrel as a birthday gift not too long ago. Went out, and never having shot before, bought a case of 250 Federal HST 180gr JHP rounds. They shoot fine, nice and clean, no feed problems, but it seems like they might be too much for my little 3-inch barrel to handle. There just seems to be a LOT of kick. Not sure if that's from .40 cal round, short barrel of the gun, light weight of gun, or just me being new, but it seems hard to group my shots accurately.
The local gunstore also sells Ranger-T and Golden Saber rounds at a very nice price, which are 155GR and 165GR, respectively. Would I notice a difference in kick/recoil using a lighter bullet?
Thanks guys! Be safe out there.

A .40 S&W has a fairly snappy recoil. I believe the problem is your form. Look at taking the NRA Basic Pistol course. This course will cover the proper form and techniques for firing revolvers and semi-autos. I suggest people get a .22 Long Rifle as a first handgun.
well first of all, there is no reason to buy expensive ammo when shooting for practice. you might as well spend the same amount of money on more bullets and then just keep a box of high quality ammo around/ in a magazine for personal defense if you choose. As far as ammo for practice is concered as long as its FMJ or JHP and feeds and ejects from your gun itll work. Other than checking for those things and comparing prices, i wouldnt put too much thought into what i used for practice. This will get you a lot more practice time and help you become a better shooter. However, to answer your question, the lighter bullet will not reduce the recoil. The recoil is produced by the force of the explosion of the powder pushing the bullet. While a lighter bullet may have slightly less powder, this may not always be the case. two loads with the same amount of powder but different weight bullets will have the same recoil, the bullet will just be traveling faster or slower.If you have never shot before/ received instruction on how to shoot, then i would highly suggest taking some beginner courses. but some easy things to do without instruction are to make sure that your arms are pushed out in a locked or almost locked position, and to hold your wrists firmly when firing. Also, dont be afraid of the gun. that will only lead to anticipating the recoil and jerking your trigger pull, and a whole list of negative things that can happen to your shooting form. Good luck, and congratulations on being a new handgun owner
I have a XD40SC. The Federal & Speer 180gr stuff kicks pretty hard. But the so did the Winchester 165gr JHPs. If there is a difference in perceived recoil, I was unable to detect it. My practice ammo is 180gr cast reloads that are toward the hot end. Practice, practice, practice. Small guns chambered in .40 kick pretty hard, there is very little that can be done about it. I try to take mine out monthly as a minimum. Shoot it first on range trips, then 1911's or .357s seem quite mild in comparison. The XD SC is a great little gun once you get comfortable with it. The gun won't have any problems with ammo that is loaded within specs, the shooter on the other hand...
Start out with the NRA Basic Pistol. People who think they are knowledgeable and take this course are surprised how much they did not know.
I have 15 rounds of 180 JHP ready for bad guys and 15 rounds of 165 JHP also ready for bad guys. I chose to use 180 first so I shoot 180 ball at the range. After I shoot 15 Bad Guys, I'll switch to the 165 and shoot 165 ball at the range. After I shoot those 15 I'll let you know if the extra weight is good or the extra energy is good.
The XD has a barrel that sits high in the pistol and it will flip more than some others. My Glock barrel sits low and is much more controllable in 40. Just make sure you get your strong hand as high on the grip as possible and get a proper grip with your weak hand.
Wow I'm really surprised how many poor responses on this topic, but there is alot of good info too. A good instructer is probably the best advise.
Everyone percieves recoil differently. Try out the 155's and 165's, see how they feel for you, find a load you like and practise.
Do not listen to the b/s about practising with one ammo and using another for defense. You don't have enough experience to consider this option, even then it's probably not good. Would Tom Brady or Tiger Woods use a different weigth ball for practise and only break out the real thing on game day? They're not beginners and even they wouldn't try that. At you're level, you want the gun to perform exactly the same every time you pull the trigger.
Different manufacturers and weights means different points of impact. Pick one and learn it inside and out. So you either pick a bullet that hits where you aim the gun and posssibly give up some defensive performance or you you pick the best defense bullet, learn where it actually hits and compensate for the difference. No adjustable sights on a small carry gun like your XD.
Defense bullets like the Ranger T or Federal HST are cheap enough for you to shoot often, if you can buy them. I think 50 a week until you really know your weapon. Maybe 1000rds maybe 2000, different distances, lighting and weather. Only you can know for sure, so don't lie to yourself.
You picked a good caliber and size weapon. It has good power, makes large holes, holds alot of bullets and is reasonably concealable. Short guns with big bullets are always a handfull, but not unmanageable. Larger, heavier guns, tame the recoil, but are harder to carry comfortably. Now, if you don't have a concealed permit or are not going to get one, sell that gun quick and buy one with a longer barrel or you may want to consider an all steel pistol.
At least practise, practise and practise some more. Better would be to get a good instructer and........
I think it's just my form. I know I need some instruction. And I can't sell it, it has too much sentimental value: it was my late father in law's and my wife gave it to me. It'd break her heart to sell it!
Don't sell the pistol. It's a good one. Learn to shoot it. Get some snap caps so you can dry fire it and go to you tube and watch Rob Leatham (he shoots one and works for Springfield) and Todd Jarett. They both have training type videos if you cannot afford instruction or have a friend that could get you up to speed. I shoot Federal 180 grain FMJ (at Walmart) for practice (then I reload them) and Winchester 165 grain PDX1 Personal Protection loads and they land in the same place at 20 meters. Dry fire practice is the key to being a good shot. Most of us who shoot competitively dry fire several times a day and practice our draw and mag changes. Here's a good video to start with.

Hey Rgrundy,
THat is a good one, thanks. And I found a local NRA instructor. Signed up for "Basic NRA Pistol" on August 6th xD
What I would suggest is getting a semi-auto in .22LR (4" to 5" barrel) and taking the NRA Basic Pistol (Ruger Mark II, Ruger Mark III, Ruger 22/45, Browning Buckmark are some good quality options). Also look to see if there is a range or club that allows the general public to shoot. Ask if a range officer or instructor would be available to work with you and ask up front if there is a charge for that assistance. There are certified instructors and range officers who do not charge for their services.
Thanks, good suggestion. The NRA Basic Pistol I am signed up for on August 6th requires student to use the Ruger MkIII, so that should be good. Second, there are two ranges here in Albuquerque NM: One 25 miles outside the city, and one in the city. The in-city one does not have instructors/officers that do free work, the one outside city limits does, so I might check that out.
Thanks, guys
Be safe and have fun!!!! Welcome to the handgun family!!!!
You may want to try some IDPA with your carry gun. Here's one club in your area. Google IDPA and go to the home page to read about what they do. You'll learn how to gunfight and have adult supervision so that you will develop some good habits.
Border Sport Shooters - Gun Club located in Clovis, New Mexico - IDPA, USPSA, SASS, and NRA
Shooting sports like IDPA and IPSC can be good tools, but you need to be careful. The course of fire does not usually emphasize seeking cover whenever possible. The emphasis is speed and hitting the target not protecting yourself from a potential threat. A shoot house can provide better training.

The Arduino Ethernet shield allows an Arduino board to connect to the internet using the Ethernet library and to read and write an SD card using the SD library.
To use the shield, mount it on top of an Arduino board (e.g. the Uno). To upload sketches to the board, connect it to your computer with a USB cable as you normally would. Once the sketch has been uploaded, you can disconnect the board from your computer and power it with an external power supply.
Connect the shield to your computer or a network hub or router using a standard ethernet cable (CAT5 or CAT6 with RJ45 connectors). Connecting to a computer may require the use of a cross-over cable (although many computers, including all recent Macs can do the cross-over internally).
The shield must be assigned a MAC address and a fixed IP address using the Ethernet.begin() function. A MAC address is a globally unique identifier for a particular device. Current Ethernet shields come with a sticker indicating the MAC address you should use with them. For older shields without a dedicated MAC address, inventing a random one should work, but don't use the same one for multiple boards. Valid IP addresses depend on the configuration of your network. It is possible to use DHCP to dynamically assign an IP to the shield. Optionally, you can also specify a network gateway and subnet.
The latest revision of the Ethernet Shield includes a micro-SD card slot, which can be interfaced with using the SD library.

Mountainous: Kent Johnson's 'Into the Heat-Forged Air'
At the New York School Poets blog: Andrew Epstein responds to David Gorin's essay at the Boston Review on Dana Ward with a follow-up note that Kent Johnson also had a take on Ashbery's "Into the Dusk-Charged Air":
Here's another interesting example of the afterlife of that particular poem that might be of interest: Kent Johnson's poem "Into the Heat-Forged Air," which appeared in Chicago Review in 2008 and also in Johnson's book Homage to the Last Avant-Garde.
Johnson's poem — balanced somewhere along the fine line between parody and homage, I suppose — is much more closely tied to Ashbery's original poem than Ward's: it follows the same pattern and form, and appears to be the same length as Ashbery's. However, instead of naming rivers, Johnson lists mountains. Lots and lots of mountains. Here are the opening lines:Far from the Pirin, the pointy Appenines plummet toward the sea. The grey and mauve Virungas undulate pleasantly, much like The Darlings in their slumber. Chuckling nomads make lean-tos Within the Schwatka. Troop carriers rust their wheels On the Taurus, and jackals roam The Toba Kakar. The Sentinel Range is white with Dust, as are the peaks of the Ahaggar, covered in Dust. The Tibetsi are grey and dry as bone.
Epstein has also graciously posted the full poem.

Tod's CEO offers to fund Colosseum repair work
By Catherine Hornby
ROME (Reuters) - Italian luxury group Tod's is ready to provide 25 million euros to fund the restoration of Rome's Colosseum, chief executive Diego Della Valle said on Thursday, urging authorities to make a decision on the project soon.
His comments followed newspaper reports that government efforts to attract a pool of private sponsors through a tender had failed and restoration plans were on hold.
"We can't keep reading about pieces of ancient ruins crumbling here and there," Della Valle told a news conference. "Italy has loads of beautiful treasures, and we need to show we know how to look after things in our country."
The vast 80 A.D. amphitheatre, which housed bloody public spectacles including gladiator fights, mock sea battles and animal shows, is one of the world's most famous monuments and attracts more than 18,000 visitors a day.
But it has suffered badly in recent years, and the urgency surrounding its state was highlighted in May when chunks of mortar plunged through a protective netting.
Earlier this year, Italy's cash-strapped government launched a tender to find private sponsors willing to finance the restoration in return for advertising rights, which it hoped to use as a model for restoring other national sites and monuments.
"The offers received were not considered appropriate," Roberto Cecchi, undersecretary at the Culture Ministry told La Repubblica daily on Thursday.
Della Valle said Tod's was ready to pay the 25 million euros required but had not taken part in the tender due to the condition that the sponsor must also be responsible for organizing the restoration, rather than just providing funds. Continued...

We are probably going to eventually take over the whole place if everything continues to go well. However if everyone thinks it is a better place for us then we will simply try it.

Dry spots in final clear coat
I based and clear coated my mercury with ppg black base and ppg clear. I applied two coats of clear and sanded the entire car with eight hundred grit. I applied a third and final coat yesterday. I don't have the best lighting in the garage and on inspection today I find that I have a few dry spots in the lower areas. I'm wondering if I can just sand them out because I have three coats of clear on the car or should I sand the area and apply more clear and blend? Thanks, Ron Randolph
Dry spray areas are a biitch, but you can sand and buff them out provided there is enough material on the car.
You can never have too many lights for sure!!
HEY, where u at in Va? Lynchburg here
You can most definately sand them out and polish them. Start sanding the dry spray areas with a bout 1000 grit wet paper on a soft block. When it dries and you don't see any shiny spots in the dry spray sanded area move up to 1500 grit, and i even go finer like 2000. If you go 2000 you could hand polish it with a medium coarse compound and move up with a fine come from there. It's a little time consuming but the results will be to your liking. If you wish you could finish polishing with a final lite cut polish and glaze. This will be your preference.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the info guys, I live in Goochland county. I have been working on my fifty mercury for years, it never ends.
And hopefully it never will, labor of love.
None of them ever end... lol. and thats a good thing :mwink: I know when I got my Nova "done" for the second time, it was kind of a letdown...like, ok, what do i do now? kind of thing. I dont like to concentrate on getting something done, I just love all the details of the process as its going on (when things go right anyway!!)
I know what you mean, if I ever finish my mercury I probably won't keep it long, I would not want to put any miles on it. I also have a 85 el camino with a 454 in it, thats my driver.
If it's really dry you might find it better to just repaint. There might not be enough clear on it to sand enough out to make it look decent but you'll never know until you try. I would start any sanding on the panel in those areas first so if you burn thru you didn't waste a second longer on it to get to that conclusion. I also find that when buffing over an area that has more peel than the rest of the car it's more work buffing getting it to look right as oppposed to just cutting it even to begin with, and with dry spray, in most cases, you have to decide where to "live with it" cause you're most likely not gonna cut the dry spray as even as the rest of the car so the final nod of approval is in buff on that one cause you'll be cutting the rest down with the buffer and eye balling it til it's passable. This my friend is living on the edge and you never feel good about doing it cause if you get away with it, how much is left to actually protect the car from the elements?

CANADA STOCKS-TSX futures turn positive
(Adds U.S. and Canadian economic data)
Aug 8 (Reuters) - Canadian stocks were poised to open higher on Friday, with September futures on the S&P TSX index <0#SXF:> holding on to gains posted just before the release of key U.S. and Canadian economic data that suggested interest rates will stay low.
Canada's economy created just 200 jobs on a net basis in July, far fewer than analysts had expected.
U.S. nonfarm productivity, meanwhile, rebounded more strongly than expected in the second quarter, but a slowdown in unit labor costs pointed to still-tame wage pressures that could give the Federal Reserve room to keep rates low.
September TSX futures were up 0.08 percent at 0845 ET.
The index dropped on Thursday as worries about the escalating crisis in Ukraine fueled declines in most major sectors.
Dow Jones Industrial Average e-mini futures were up 0.18 percent at 0845 ET, while S&P 500 e-mini futures were up 0.29 percent. Nasdaq 100 e-mini futures were up 0.20 percent.

Not much can stand between Mark Bishop and his desire to complete the annual Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer.

He's met and conquered many health challenges in his life, but the last few years have been particularly rough. Bishop, just 53 years old, had hip replacement surgery, his appendix burst and he suffered a debilitating stroke.

However, the challenges did not stop him from tackling the 200-kilometre bike ride, it only made him more determined.

The Dundas resident spent a good portion of every day at the gym lifting weights and on the stationary bike to prepare for the event that benefits Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. And, along with thousands of other riders, Bishop jubilantly crossed the finish line on June 8.

When the going got tough, Bishop got tougher, breaking the ride down into manageable lengths and always keeping his eye on the finish line.

"Finishing the race kept me going," he said. "Fifteen to 25 kilometres, stopping for rest and food. Four stops a day."

This year Bishop personally raised $2,500; in the four years he has participated in the ride, the tally is more than $15,000.

Bishop said he likes the challenge the ride presents and is grateful to have found a way to say thank you for the care both he and his father received during their struggles against cancer. Bishop waged his own successful battle against testicular cancer in 1987, while his father Ron sadly succumbed to the disease after a year-long struggle in 1992.

'Just as we have been winning the battles to increase employment and entrench stability, we must now win the productivity war,' he will say. 'That is why the priority for the spending review will be to sweep aside the barriers we have identified to driving up productivity.'
Improving Britain's productivity record has proved to be an elusive target for the Government. Latest official figures showed the amount of work produced by the average British worker fell during the final quarter of last year for the first time in three years.
A recent study by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research found that the average American worker was 26% more productive than his British counterpart, a French worker 24% and a German 11%.
Brown will say that improving that record requires greater investment in skills and education, improved infrastructure and help and incentives for enterprise, particularly small businesses. 'Just as we must improve productivity in the private sector, so, by matching resources with reform, we must increase the productivity of the public sector,' he will say.

William P. Anderson
Dr. Anderson has been a member of the Appalachian geology faculty since 2004 and Chair of the department since 2013. He also served the department as a temporary faculty member in 1998. In the intervening six years he taught as a tenure-track professor at Illinois State University and Radford University. He teaches courses in Physical Geology, Environmental Geology, Hydrogeology, and Advanced Environmental and Engineering Geology. The last two classes in this list are upper level courses that are primarily taken by seniors and students in the environmental geology concentration.
Dr. Anderson has three areas of research interest. One aspect focuses on aquifer recharge, including quantification with mathematical and modeling techniques and the effect of natural climate oscillations on recharge rates. This work utilizes data collected at a field site on Hatteras Island. Another aspect of his research focuses on groundwater-surface-water interactions, including the role that groundwater discharge plays in controlling stream temperatures and stream salinity. This work is being done in collaboration with Carol Babyak (Chemistry) and Chris Thaxton (Physics & Astronomy) and involves the collection of data from Boone Creek, a stream which runs through campus and downtown Boone. The third aspect of his research involves the study of groundwater flow within fractured bedrock aquifers. This work is being done in collaboration with the USGS' North Carolina Water Science Center in Raleigh and involves field sites throughout the High Country.
Realtime data on his work at Boone Creek can be found here.

There is news today that both Manchester City and Paris Saint Germain have not met the Financial Fair Play rules over the last three seasons, and therefore will be given some punishment, to be handed out by UEFA President Michel Platini in the not too distant future.
Michel Platini – should be tougher with club flaunting FFP rules
The Financial Fair Play Rules were introduced a few years ago simply because big money was starting to ruin football, and when clubs like Manchester City were bought by Billionaires, City were allowed to spend £1B gross on players since 2008, and there's something wrong with that somehow.
And it was supposed to be a surprise when they won the Premier League two years ago?
If a smaller club – maybe Peterborough – had been able to spend £1B on players since 2008, we dare say they would have become Premier League Champions too.
Chelsea were probably the first club who started to buy their team with almost unlimited finances and no controls of their spending, when Russian Billionaire Romain Abramovich bought the club back in 2003 and in that summer brought in a full team of top world players to play for Chelsea.
One other main reason for introduction of the FFP rules was to try to keep competition in the game of football, but even the Financial Fair Play Rules will have a hard job doing that.
And that's because eventually the rules say that clubs must break even, and they can only spend the money they bring in – but the big clubs will continue to spend more money – because they bring more money in.
What's that about the rich get richer?
Over the last couple of financial years, Manchester City have lost £98M and £52M, and they are now likely to have to accept a salary cap and a large fine for breaking Financial Fair Play rules.
But UEFA President Michel Platini said initially that if clubs competing in Europe didn't abide by the rules, they would simply be banned from European competition – so why are both Man City and PSG being allowed to continue playing in Europe next season?
The restriction to the City wage bill will only apply to the players who play in Europe, but that could cause them to be unable to use some of their best players in the competition – but an outright ban for a year would be a much better deterrent, and put an end to the abuse more quickly.
And City's transfer fees this season are at £91.8M, according to web-site transfermarkt.com, so that doesn't sound good – given that the allowed loss for the next financial year through June 30th, is going to be £25M.
And it should come as no surprise that Paris St-Germain have also not met the FFP rules, and they too could be hit with a salary cap and a fine.
And in fact all clubs competing in Europe who have lost more than £37M in each of the last three seasons will have failed to meet the FFP requirements, and will be subject to fines and/or other disciplinary actions.
Sky Sports are reporting that fewer than 20 clubs are still under active investigation, and could still face sanctions that ensure dramatic financial losses are no longer posted.
Manchester City and PSG are thought to be the two most prominent European clubs who have missed the targets the most over the last three seasons.
What do you think about this?
Comments welcome.

Charles Taylor is a war criminal, there is no dispute on this point. He organized the process of seizing children, getting them hopped up on drugs, sending them into battle with the belief no bullet could harm them, and Mr. Taylor made certain that young girls wound up as sex slaves. He was behind the notorious process of having children chop off the arms of their enemies. Mr.Taylor was found guilty of war crimes but the court in Sierra Leone was not able to prove that he actually ordered this atrocities. If not him, who–the tooth fairy!!
The most fascinating aspect of this case which witnessed the first head of state since the Nuremburg Trials after WWII to be found guilty of something. The other fascinating aspect of this case is why thousands in his native Liberia still regard this thug and monster as a hero? Who knows what emotions linger in human minds, I guess only the Shadow knows.

Lovebite. Don't listen to Paula.
5 years ago
1) I know you were a model and Army Reserve captain once upon a time. When and why did you eventually decided to open up retail stores?
I had an idea and I just knew I must pursue it. It sounds very simple but it's true!
2) What was the beginning like?
The beginning was very scary, it was such hard work and I had reoccurring nightmares of failure!
I also had a six month old baby and the juggling was incredibly taxing.
Hello Ben! Can you give us a brief history of the band?
My Disco started in the summer of 2003 as a short-lived project because I was living overseas at the time, but the jams were so good that I relocated back to Australia to continue the band full time. Since then, we have been touring and putting out records in regular fashion.
Many Australian bands relocate to Europe in order to gain more exposure. Have you ever considered the move or do you feel you have more to achieve or prove here?
We have talked about a Berlin-style relocation, as we do pretty well in Europe. Aside from a few tour van and gear hiccups, Europe is an amazing place to visit and play. There is a different culture over there towards live music and touring bands. They have an attitude based on respect with high regard for the artists, making it an entirely pleasurable experience. Australia is so far away and quite limiting in its scope when you are an "outsider" band as we are, but we love it nonetheless.

COMMENT | Although 'Star Wars VII' was recently given a bit of a rewrite, it looks as though the galaxy far, far away is ready to shoot… and will begin filming in May 2014.
That's right folks - after much debate as to whether the latest 'Star Wars' movie would even be ready in time, it looks as though filming will be starting sooner rather than later. And even the notoriously secretive J.J Abrams can't wait to shout it from the rooftops, as he reveals that 'Star Wars VII' will begin shooting by May.
[J.J. Abrams: Star Wars VII script is complete]
According to our pals at Jedi News (via the Metro) director J.J. Abrams spoke about the upcoming filming dates during the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour last Sunday.
Asked about the reported May filming date, Abrams apparently sounded rather positive. "That's the current plan," he said. "We have our script and we're full steam ahead. Have script, will travel."
Unfortunately, Abrams remains tight-lipped about anything to do with the actual script… and it seems he won't share even a small teaser. "We can't talk about story yet," he said. At least, not yet.
But when asked when we'd hear some official casting news, it seems he was a bit more forthcoming… if only for his own sanity. "Soon," he said. "And I look forward to that so that we can get past it and we can get on with it."
Does this mean that we'll get some official casting confirmations in the near future? I can't help thinking that's a certainty. Abrams has already confirmed that the script is finished and that filming begins in as little as four months. If you ask me, we should be expecting casting confirmations sooner rather than later. And after all this speculation, that's only a good thing.
[Boba Fett's origin to change in Star Wars spin-off?]
But will we see confirmation that Hamill, Ford and Fisher will return? Will they reveal the all-new cast first? And will any of them have found their roles from the recent open casting calls? For now, we'll have to wait and see… but I get the feeling we won't have to wait too long.
Will we hear an official casting announcement sometime soon? Are they really due to start filming in as little as two months? Let us know what you think in the comments below…

So I've tried my darndest to get my Walther P22 as clean as it was from the factory, but it just seems that no matter what I do, residual powder goo remains once the powder solvent dries. Right now the two fluids I use for firearms cleaning are (1) Hoppes #9 powder solvent, and (2) milsurp light weapons oil. All my centerfire guns clean up really well with just a bit of #9, a toothbrush and some patches (with some exceptions - I'll get to that later). But the P22 just gets caked with powder residue, and I can't seem to get it all off, even after an hours' worth of scrubbing with #9. It appears to be clean, but then when I let it dry, the residue reappears.
So this brings me to the title of this post, Break-free CLP. I understand that it's what the military issues for all purposes pertaining to firearm maintenence. Do you think this stuff will work where Hoppes #9 has failed?
Also, after I broke in my M1A, I cleaned the action, chamber and barrel well enough, but the gas piston seems to have an ultrathin layer of carbon stuck on it that I can't get off! It's smooth and shiny, but discoloured from the carbon. Would CLP also help eliminate this? On a side-note, would I be able to skip the light weapons oil application when using CLP, since it is also a lubricant? Keep in mind for any heavy-wear points (like the M1A rotating bolt), I use molybdenum grease, and would continue to do so. I'm more concerned with the slide rails of my pistols, to which I occasionally apply a light coating of oil.
Thanks for any help/info/advice! :smilez:

- Hang on, she says, your grandparents are coming from Germany? Can't they bring German cookies?
- YES, YES, YES, they can. What a brilliant idea!!!
- Which airline are they coming with? If they come with Emirates Airlines they will be allowed 30kgs luggage each.
- Enough space for German cookies to feed a whole school with!!
Off I go to ask my grandparents this huge favor, and my 85-year old granddad is raiding all supermarkets and grocery stores as we speak. Apparently, several kilos of cookies have been purchased already. My grandparents seem to be more than happy to help me out with this. Big sigh of relief. Life is good again. The store-bought cookies won't be as healthy as my homemade ones, but International Day is not the day I need to convert the school to healthier eating habits. Will try that some other time.
Meanwhile, my poor family will be deprived of any cookies for the next few days and will be left with what's left of these amazing Coconut Almond Oat Crunchies. They are something between a cake and a cookie, but most importantly crunchy. An amazing combination of coconut, almonds and oat in handy little square shapes makes me raid the cookie tin very often. My current favorite cookie!!!

Competition and the Regulation of Utilities
Volume 7 of the series Topics in Regulatory Economics and Policy Series pp 173-188
Franchise Bidding for Public Utilities Revisited
- A. Michael Crew
- , Mark A. Zupan
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Analogous to the reforms sweeping through Eastern Europe, important changes have been taking place in Western utility industries. Competition has been occurring in telecommunications and gas and is beginning to take place in electricity. Price-cap regulation is beginning to be employed in telecommunications. Privatization and calls for privatization are on the rise. Such changes are all raising serious questions about the life expectancy of rate-of-return (ROR) regulation and whether, in the traditional set-up and implementation of public policy towards utilities, too little consideration has been given to market-oriented solutions to natural monopoly problems.

The journey has been sprinkled with numerous challenges that I can now look back on with a sense of wonder – how did we get through that one? For those of you who don't date back too far, let me enlighten you with some amusing not-so-tranquil tales. I giggle most over our days at the church on 16th street. We had no air conditioning and no screens to keep the hungry mosquitoes out of the studio. To combat the issue we had mosquito repellent at the sign in desk for yogis to lather on pre-practice. Then we had kids in the alley throwing rocks into the studio while we were sun saluting. Oh, and we can't forget hearing "Here comes the bride" pound away on the piano while indulging in savasana. And, you can see the top of this beautiful church from the sky studio. We've come full circle.
The beauty of reflecting over the past 13 years is that I now laugh at the struggles (it beats crying – although I went through that phase, too). We are all stronger because of our challenges and I am truly grateful for all the lessons learned. As Buddhist nun Pema Chodren reminds us, our lessons show up as teachers on our path who will become friendly warmhearted companions once we embrace what they came to teach us. So many lessons!
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support as students, teachers, front desk helpers, cleaners, teaching assistants, managers, tea sippers, and boutique shoppers. None of this would have been possible without you. Happy 13 years. Thank you for letting us serve you tranquility. May our bodies and minds be healthy. May our thoughts be filled with love. May our practice be free of obstacles. May we carry its benefits into the world.

Domaine de la Pepiere Muscadet Clos de Briords Vieilles Vignes 2007
Other White Wine from Loire, France
Winemaker's Notes
The most complex, ageworthy white wine you will ever buy for under $20? Quite possibly. Minerally, complex, high-acid white wine. This wine is something of a legend among wine geeks - try and bottle and you'll see why.
Clos des Briords is Marc's finest Muscadet. It comes from a single plot of 50-year old vines planted in schist (shale). Marc is the only grower in Muscadet who does not have a single clonal selection vine (commonly used to increase yield) in his vineyards. He propagates vines from the bud wood of the existing ones. His wines are kept on the yeast twice as long as those of his neighbors. The resulting wine is an extraordinary Muscadet. This wine has citrus-lime and wet stone aromas. On the palate it has bracing lemon mineral flavors that keep on going.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Focused and taut, with a bony texture carrying lemon, lime and salt notes through the refreshing crunchy finish."
Domaine de la Pepiere Winery
Marc Ollivier's Muscadet-sur-Lie is the authentic item — it has lees contact until the time of bottling. This extended contact gives it the crispness that makes Muscadet so refreshing. It is the traditional way to make Muscadet, but has become the exception as growers and shippers rush to bottle "technically correct" wines by early January.
Ollivier hand harvests, uses natural yeasts, waits for the wine to finish and bottles with a very light filtration. The vineyards are in old vines (40 years and older) with a particularly good exposition on a plateau overlooking the river Sèvre. All the vineyards are from original stock: Ollivier is the only grower in the Muscadet who does not have a single clonal selection in his vineyards.
Ollivier also produces a very-old-vine cuvée of Muscadet from a single-plot vineyard in schist, the Clos des Briords. These are among the oldest vines in his estate (planted in 1930) and they enjoy a particularly good exposition. Also, when most of his estate's vines are planted on poor, shallow soil with hard granite very close to the surface, the Clos des Briords has a much deeper top soil of clay and silica over a brittle granite subsoil: ensuring excellent drainage in wet years, and better moisture retention in dry summers.

About LoireChenin Blanc, Muscadet and Sauvignon Blanc. For reds, Cabernet Franc takes center stage but the region also has plantings of Pinot Noir and Gamay. The AC of Cremant de Loire is popular – these are the sparkling wines of the Loire, usually made with Chenin Blanc.
Notable FactsAs for which grapes you find in which regions… Starting on the Atlantic Coast and moving east - Muscadet hails from the region of the same name, within the larger Nantes district, right on the Atlantic coast. The wines are dry, citrusy and pleasant, but rarely powerful or intensely aromatic. Just inland from Nantes is Anjou-Samur, home to Savennières, an excellent source of dry Chenin Blanc. To the east is Touraine, where you'll find the popular white region of Vouvray - Chenin Blanc shines in Vouvray, which can be dry, off-dry or sweet – the majority of those found in the states are a lovely and food-friendly off-dry. In the same district, Cabernet Franc makes delicious, delicate and elegant reds from Bourguil and Chinon. Finally, in the Upper Loire area, Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé turn out Sauvignon Blancs of razor sharp acidity and minerality.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

"These cards were simple yet beautiful. I would order again from Tiny Prints in a heartbeat. The quality was fantastic. The shipping to Canada was a week. The only thing I didn't love was upon their recommendation, I ordered the rectangular envelopes for my square cards for postage purposes but the envelopes weren't quite wide enough to accommodate the card so I had to fold the flap a bit to get them sealed."
"The main colors of this card are pink & purple. The format is easy to use & all you do is plug in your info & a picture. A close up picture will work best for this card. The quality is excellent, the card stockis thick, and the colors are great. Be sure to order the rectangle envelopes so you don't pay extra postage on a square one. My family & friends were very impressed with my choice of announcements- they raved about it!!"

Hey, Rhino! I'm afraid that I myself am the teams coder/plugin configurer. You see, to configure and test plugin's on our server would require you to have console access and I'm afraid that the only player with console access is the owner. But as I said earlier on, I do plugin coding and help with configuration of the server.Sorry, man! I hope you're still up to playing on our server!

- I wish to moderate this server as I feel it would benefit the server in a few different ways. First of all, really the only mod I see on is duncan, and i'm sure he'd like to see some other mods on with him. Secondly, I have a lot of experience moderating, and I love to do it. I am friendly as well, and can help out anyone when they need me, or whenever someone is griefing or x-raying, I can get evidence and ban them. I also wish to join because I believe this is a great server, with even greater potential, and I love it and wish to further assist it. I am also a reasonable, and a trustworthy person.

Marijuana: Mason Tvert can't pimp paperback deal on Facebook because book is about pot
In general, the Internet is a marijuana-friendly place -- but that doesn't mean every door is open to weed, as pot advocate Mason Tvert learned firsthand.
His publisher wanted to use Facebook to tout a special deal on his book Marijuana Is Safer: So Why Are We Driving People to Drink? only to discover that the social-media giant wouldn't allow ads to support it.
Tvert, the man behind Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation (SAFER), and co-author of the tome with Steve Fox and Paul Armentano, explains via e-mail.
The book "just reached 500,000 fans on Facebook," he notes. "So to celebrate, our publisher" -- Chelsea Green Publishing -- "is offering copies for just $5.99. They wanted to promote this offer via Facebook, but Facebook is prohibiting them from posting FB ads about it. Their sole reason is that it pertains to marijuana. Yet Facebook always posts sample ads on our FB page offering us the opportunity to run an ad almost identical to the one rejected."
As proof, Tvert offers the following screen capture:
Click to enlarge.
A post announcing this development on the Marijuana Is Safer Facebook page ends with, "WTF? This won't be the last you hear about this..."
Coming from Tvert, that's not a threat. It's a promise.

text: Boyfriend, girlfriend, it doesn't matter. What we're talking about today is being in a relationship that has become serious enough to share information on your personal finances. First, you may have noticed behavior about money. Credit card use, overspending based on their guessed income. Are they borrowing money or other things. Are there many high-end consumer products in the apartment that most other friends can't afford. Be attentive. Throughout the relationship, you should be talking about finances and each other's views of personal finance as you date. But when the relationship gets more serious you need to be able to talk openly about this subject. Some of the questions you want to ask and answer are: What's your income? How much debt to you have? What do you hope to do? What's your income?- You certainly don't love another for the money but you need to know if this relationship is serious. How much debt to you have?- People make mistakes, so today's debt isn't necessarily an indication of their lives in the future. But understanding what debt they have, how they accumulated it and the plan for repayment is an important talk in a serious relationship. What do you hope to do?- Obviously, no one knows the exact future, but what plans for the future do they have? If observations have not alarmed you and you fell good about the talk now you can apply yourself to the relationship! Citations:

Careers for English Majors / Goals of Law School / Law School Applicants / Finding the Right School / Taking the LSAT / Applying for Law School / Law School Scholarships
Why English Majors Succeed in Law School
According to the Law School Admission Council (LSAC), "Law schools want students who can think critically and write well and who have some understanding of the forces that have shaped the human experience." English majors are often well-prepared to excell in these skills.
Goals of Law School
A legal education refines and develops a student's analytical, creative, and logical reasoning abilities. Law school demands extensive reading and debating. According to the Law School Admission Council, "students learn to analyze legal issues in light of the constantly changing state of the law and of public policy." They must understand the law's requirements and be able to synthesize and apply legal precedents to various issues and cases.
Students who graduate from law school must take the bar examination before they may begin to practice law. Most students complete law school in three or four years. Programs usually include courses in civil procedure, constitutional law, contracts, criminal law and criminal procedure, legal methods, legal writing and research, property law, and torts.
Who Are Typical Law School Applicants?
In Fall 2007, there were over 84,000 applicants to law schools (LSAC). According to LSAC survey, about 26 percent of law school applicants were 22 years old or younger; 38 percent were 23 to 25; and 19 percent were between ages 26 and 29. Eight percent were between 30 and 34, and 9 percent were over 34.
Finding the Right Law School for You
Consider your individual needs and interests as you select a law school. Consider the size of the program, location of the school, reputation, and specializations of the faculty. Some schools stress internships and clinical experience more than others. Some schools have better libraries or better mentoring programs than others. You will be working very closely with your professors and your classmates in law school; select a school you feel is a comfortable fit for your living and learning experiences.
Visit law school Web sites or contact law schools for details about their programs, requirements, and application processes. The USC Upstate Pre-Professional Program in Law, housed in the Division of History, Political Science, Philosophy, and American Studies, also offers extra-curricular activities, programs, and LSAT workshops for students interested in pursuing law school.
Taking the LSAT
Students who would like to apply to law school must taken the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), a standardized test that focuses on reading comprehension and verbal reasoning. Students should take the test no later than the fall of their senior year (or the fall of the year in which they will apply for law school). Students register for this test through the Law School Admission Council site at http://www.lsac.org/LSAT/about-the-lsat.asp. Test fees are over $200. Students are encouraged to take a practice test and/or enroll in a LSAT preparation workshop (USC Upstate offers these periodically) before attempting to take the test for the first time.
Applying for Law School
Students should research schools and prepare application materials, including the personal statement and letters of recommendation, in the summer before senior year. Most law school application deadlines are in December. See the University of Delaware guide to the law school application process for more details.
