The relationship between adaptive functioning and autism symptomatology was examined in 1,089 verbal youths with ASD examining results on Vineland-II, IQ, and measures of ASD severity. Strong positive relationships were found between Vineland subscales and IQ. Vineland Composite was negatively associated with age. IQ accounted a significant amount of the variance in overall adaptive skills (55%) beyond age and ASD severity. Individuals with ASD demonstrated significant adaptive deficits and negligible associations were found between the level of autism symptomatology and adaptive behavior. The results indicate that IQ is a strong predictor of adaptive behavior, the gap between IQ and adaptive impairments decreases in lower functioning individuals with ASD, and older individuals have a greater gap between IQ and adaptive skills.

While working with the Caribbean food writer Franka Philip (cancookmustcook.com), we came up with this version of Trinidad's dhal puri roti. It's a fair bit of work, but so good to eat freshly made.
350g strong white flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
½ tsp salt
50ml sunflower oil
250ml milk and water, half of each
For the dhal
150g dry red lentils
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
1 tsp turmeric
2 tsp ground coriander
3 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp salt
The night before, make the dough. In a bowl, mix the flour, soda and salt, add the oil and milk, stir, then cover and leave overnight at room temperature.
Next day, boil the lentils and garlic in water for eight to 10 minutes, then leave to drain in a sieve. Tip on to a sheet of muslin, and wring out excess water. Tip into a bowl, stir in the spices and salt, and remove the garlic. Set aside until cold.
Using lots of flour to dust both hands and worksurface, cut the dough into 50g pieces. Pat each piece flat in the palm of your hand. Take a spoonful of lentils (15g-30g, depending on how brave you feel) and squeeze into a ball, then wrap one piece of dough around it. Dab the edges with water and pinch it together to seal. Tap the dough out firmly, again using lots of flour, then roll very thin. Get a large frying pan quite hot, lay in a patty and cook for a minute each side. Set aside in a warm place, covered with foil, and repeat with the remaining dough.

RT: Did you think you'd shave more than a minute off your PR?
DE: My PR for 5K is only 14:11 [from the Stanford Invitational in late March], so I thought if I ran a really good race I might be able to dip under 29 minutes. I was kind of surprised I ran 28:41. I thought I might run 28:55 to 28:58. Based on that and my training, I think I could run even faster later in the season.
RT: Will you run another 10,000m race before nationals?
DE: No, I won't get another shot at it this year, unless I make it unto the USATF meet in June. If I really wanted to get another shot at a fast 10K, I could go to the Payton Jordan Invitational at Stanford [on May 1]. A 28:41 will probably be right on the bubble for getting into the USATF meet, but I'll take my chances at getting in with that instead of throwing down another hard effort in the next couple of weeks. I won't race again until the [Great Lakes Valley Conference] meet [on May 6-7]. My goal is to get as much solid training as possible to get ready for DII nationals. But I'll definitely go to Payton Jordan next year and try to run a fast 10,000m.
RT: When did you start running?
DE: I started running in fifth grade, but I was really bad when I was in grade school. I think I ran a 14-minute 2-mile as a seventh-grader. My eighth-grade year I got better and maybe ran about 11 minutes for 2 miles. My high school coach [Gregg Meyers] started training me my eighth-grade year and that's when I got serious. Before that, I wasn't too into it.
RT: Your high school has won a bunch of state titles in Illinois' smallest division. [Note: Elmwood High School has six cross country titles, second among all schools in Illinois to York's 27.]
DE: By my freshman year, I really liked running and thought it was a lot of fun. My first year, I ran 16:30 for 3 miles in cross country and by my senior year I ran 14:50. In high school, I ran 75-80 miles per week in the summer. That's pretty high for a high school runner. We had a strong program and a good coach, so that was a big part of it.
RT: How did you decide on attending Southern Indiana?
DE: I came to USI because they have a really good tradition at Division II nationals. They're usually in the top 12-15 at nationals in cross country, and thought I'd fit in really well. Coach [Mike] Hillyard is a great coach and probably very underrated. I lot of guys think they have to go to DI to get better, but there are a lot of good coaches at the DII level and he's certainly one of them. He's taken a guy who ran 9:32 in the 2 mile and 4:32 in the mile and turned me into a 28:41 guy in three years. He knows how to structure training and what kind of mileage people can run. He's a really good motivator and just a great overall coach.
RT: What kind of mileage have you been logging in college?
DE: I started running about 80 miles a week my freshman year and worked up to about 90 to 95 last year as a sophomore, and this year we experimented with how I could get, and I've steadily hit 100 to 115 miles a week all year and made really huge improvements because of it. I might have gotten to 100 once last year, but it didn't really start until last summer. During the summer, I started to see how high I could get without feeling terrible and it's started to pay off.
RT: What kind of workouts have you done lately?
DE: Recently, we went to a track meet and I ran a 3-mile tempo run and then jumped on the track for the 5,000m to pace teammates and ran 14:28 or so. I also recently did a 6 x 1-mile workout with 2½ to 3 minutes rest and averaged 4:32 per mile. And then we did a 24 x 400m workout where I started at about 68 and dropped down to 66 with 45-50 seconds rest. So I think I'm getting pretty fit. I'm just trying to build on all of that and get a little bit more and then keep it going until DII nationals.
RT: What are you goals for the rest of the season?
DE: There are a lot of good Division II runners, but I'd like to go to nationals [May 26-28 in Stanislaus, Calif.] and try to win a Division II title in the 10,000m and come back in the 5,000m and see if I can compete for another one. In the Division II 10,000m, it's usually tactical. You go out in 15:30 and try to come back in 14:30. I didn't have a good nationals race last year. At the time, my PR was 14:39 in the 5K. That kind of race didn't really play into my favor in the 10K, so I kind of got shot off the back.
RT: You seem like a guy who might have some potential in the marathon after college. Have you thought about that at all?
DE: My coach and I have talked about that a lot. We both think I could probably go out and run a really fast half marathon just off the training I have now. Then when I get out of college, we think I could jump up to the marathon and be pretty solid. I might jump into a half marathon this summer, depending on whether or not I get into the USATF meet for the 10,000m.
RT: It's still early in the season and there should be plenty of fast times at the Payton Jordan meet, but has your time sunk in yet?
DE: Yeah, it feels pretty good. My coach printed out the world list and I was No. 13, so that was pretty cool to see. I know if I get into another race, I can run even faster. Looking at the DI list, behind me are guys like Colby Lowe and Chris Derrick, Elliott Heath, guys I have looked up to for a while. That's something I've never expected, and it's something that will keep me motivated and hungry to keep getting better.
RT: How fast do you think you can run in another year?
DE: With one more year of high mileage, one more year of a bunch of workouts and a lot of training, maybe I can run 28:20. I hope so. Something to get me into the Olympic trials would be pretty sweet.

Students at Lincoln High School did Tacoma proud by rallying for Tacoma Weekly writer Kathleen Merryman during her battle against breast cancer.
"Kathleen has always been a friend to LHS, the South End and East Side and TPS (Tacoma Public Schools)," said Lincoln Principal Pat Erwin.
About 30 students, teachers and staff members shaved their heads in support of Merryman, who recently started chemotherapy treatments. Among the shaved head bunch was Tacoma City Councilman Marty Campbell. Hundreds more cheered at a school assembly in her honor last Friday. She had no idea what was in the works until she showed up. The event was organized by Lincoln High junior Loren Carrillo.
Leon Mitchell, a 29-year-old who is four years of being cancer free, keynoted the assembly by talking about his struggles during treatment and how it took a community for him to survive chemotherapy, surgeries and radiation. He said he was twice told to prepare for his own death during his treatments by writing a will. He also said that he was told he would likely die in his sleep but he was always tired as he battled the illness and forced himself to stay awake.
"I was afraid to go to sleep," he said. "It took everyone around me to get through cancer."
The support of family and friends braced him through his cancer fight and the rehabilitation that followed.
Donations raised by students totaled $1,000 for the American Cancer Society.

With no further ado, it's drop test time and the results are right below.

Broad beans
Sow: March - May, November
Harvest: June - August
Runner beans
Sow: May - June
Harvest: July - October
French beans
Sow: May - June
Harvest: June - October
Recommended varieties
Charles Dowding picks his favourites: "Bunyards Exhibition yields plenty of long pods from early spring sowings, while Jubilee Hysor is a new variety with high yield and good flavour. If you want purple beans, try Violetta. The old-fashioned Scarlet Emperor is a reliable variety of runner bean. For climbing, Blue Lake is the classic, while Blauhilde offers a long season of intense purple pods."
Sowing and planting
Broad beans are the first to your table because they are fast-maturing and fairly relaxed about the soil. Maincrop sowings begin in March and are followed in monthly intervals until the end of May - this will keep you full of beans throughout the summer. Sow 20cm apart, 5cm deep, in rows 60cm apart. Runner beans should be planted out when the threat of frost has passed. Sow 23cm apart, 5cm deep in rows 45cm apart. A second sowing in June will see you through to October. French beans are slightly more demanding and will need a warm, fertile patch. Sow your main crop in situ in May 5cm deep, 10cm apart in rows 45cm apart. Successional sowings up to the end of June will provide pods until early October.
All beans will need support of some description (see panel, page 53). Persuade your crop to grow up them by loosely tying as they grow. Water your beans regularly as the pods form (mulching will also help conserve moisture levels) and pinch out growing tips that have reached the top of their supports. This will ensure the beans don't become too top-heavy.
Pests and diseases
Slugs pose a threat to young runner and french beans, whereas mice can't resist unearthing a just-planted broad bean. If you don't want to lay traps, start your broad beans off in modules. Black bean aphid and chocolate spot pose a serious danger to your delicate beans. If swarms land, you should burn infested shoots and pinch out tops. Bean seed fly will attack your crop during germination - particularly if you've sown seeds into wet soil. To survive the onslaught, protect with a fine mesh and hope for the best.
Harvesting beans is like hunting for hidden treasure. Each bean is plucked at slightly different stages. Broad beans should be picked when the first pods are 5-7cm long. (These will be cooked whole.) Beans for shucking should be picked when they begin to show through the pod. Runner beans should be picked before they start to swell when the pods have reached 15-20cm. If you catch them at the right size, you'll be able to crop for at least eight weeks. French beans are ready for the kitchen when they reach 10cm. If it snaps juicily and easily in half when bent, it's ready. Pick little and often for five to seven weeks.
All beans will freeze but should be blanched first. Runner beans can be hung in an airy, dry setting, shucked when dry and stored as flageolet beans in airtight jars (see panel). Do not eat raw as they contain harmful toxins.
Extending the season
Your maincrop will probably produce a glut of beans that will sate any seasonal appetite. That said, broad beans are fast-maturing so sow a second crop once the first has reached 18cm. Diehard bean fans could sow one of each variety for successive cropping.
Growing without a veg plot
Dwarf and bush beans are suitable to grow in containers.

|This paper deals with a stochastic Generalized Assignment Problem with recourse. Only a random subset of the given set of jobs will require to be actually processed. An assignment of each job to an agent is decided a priori, and once the demands are known, reassignments can be performed if there are overloaded agents. We construct a convex approximation of the objective function that is sharp at all feasible solutions. We then present three versions of an exact algorithm to solve this problem, based on branch and bound techniques, optimality cuts, and a special purpose lower bound. Numerical results are reported.

Mumbai: As the fabulous day of St. Valentine has passed by, lovers are more united and happier than ever, one would think. However, this was not the case for the actress Priyanka Chopra and her lover, actor Shahid Kapoor. The two planned to spend their time celebrating appropriately, but it did not turn out the way they had wished.
The two fought terribly, and it seems that reason for this quarrel is that they did not find the time to spend the holiday together. The busy, crazy schedules the two have did not allow them to find time to relax and celebrate together.
Shahid was in Bangalore that day, while Priyanka was away in Malaysia. The couple had an awful fight over the phone, shouting and screaming at each other. But as they usually do, Shahid and Priyanka let things settle down and are now back together, enjoying each moment they have together.
Shahid flew to Mumbai as soon as he could, leaving his father's film behind, and Priyanka took the first flight to India.

We have tended to assume in the West that India's newspaper industry is in the ascendant. But a report in Business Standard, Print media firms rationalise costs, job cuts suggests otherwise.
It quotes K U Rao, chief executive of the Mumbai-based Diligent Media, as saying: "These are difficult times for the print media sector." And Ravi Dhariwal, chief executive at India's biggest and richest media company, Bennett, Coleman & Co, also admits the industry "is going through a rough patch."
Newsprint prices have risen sharply and advertising revenue has dried up. The latest figures from one ad tracking firm shows that ad volume dropped 45% in November compared to the previous month. Year-on-year the fall was 20%. The rising cost of newsprint is exacerbated by the depreciating rupee.
In response, publishers are cutting paginations. The country's largest financial daily, The Economic Times, is down to 18 pages. Along with The Times of India, it has raised its cover price.
Several papers have shelved expansion plans. Mail Today, a new paper part-owned by the Daily Mail & General Trust, has abandoned a planned 20-city roll-out. Business Standard shut down its Gujarati edition.
The proposed Hindi business paper from the Dainik Jagran-Network 18 group has been shelved despite having hired more than 50 people. An English daily in Pune, Sakal Times, postponed its proposed launches in other cities and shut down its Delhi office, which employed over 60 people.

Drop in Velocity?
Hello everyone, I am new to the Forum lots of good info on here . I was hoping to get some good advice. I got this virus called 30-378 itus ( I had to have a super gun ) 3 years ago. I knew nothing about reloading or custom guns. I did know that I wanted to be able to shoot deer as far as I coud see. In reasearching what caliber I wanted I ordered a Lazzeroni 7.82 Warbind model 2000 not the TRG-S. It has a 27 inch barrell 1-12 twist. I thought the faster the better. I read everything I could about reloading and started trying to work up a load for my new gun. My best load was 103.5 gr. IMR 7828 FED 215M primers Lazzeroni 150 gr. Coated X bullett AOL 3.575 This would shoot 3729 averaged over 50 shots with ES. of 22 FPS. It would shoot 1moa groups I thought that was great ( until I found this sight everyone here shoots 1/2 or 1/4 moa) so to get to my question I have taken deer with this rifle out to 536 yards with 1 shot kills. The other day at my farm I missed a doe at 527 yards. I did not come close she never even moved so I went to the range the next morning . I was shooting low. So I broke out the Chronograph. My shots were around 400 fps. slower, same temperature,same loads ,so I cleaned my barrell and made sure the copper fowling was out and tried again my next shots were 3261 fps and went up every shot 6 shots later I was at 3493. I think it is time for a new barrel. I have shot the gun about + or - 800 times. What do you think. Any other Ideas. If so who can I send it to to have a new barel chambered and installed in the same caliber. Also is there something about running these bullets out so fast that makes them not as accurate as other calibers. Like I said my gun shoots 1moa with every thing I try I cant get them any better even 168 match bullets shoot 1moa. Help [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Drop in Velocity?
Fist off, welcome to LRH. Good to have you with us [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
Well, I am not a huge fan of the Lazzeroni rounds as a hole, on paper performance numbers are pretty impressive but unless you use his rifles and bullets, you will not reach these levels.
In your case you are using his rifle and loads. I have always found case tolerances to loose with the Lazzeroni brass to produce consistant results at long range. While some has been very good others have been very bad and you never know what you will get from one box to the other and for +$2.00 per case, that is simply not acceptible in my opinion.
As far as your velocity lose, its hard to say for sure, loosing 400 fps is a dramatic velocity loss for sure.
The problem with some barrels and using Moly coated bullets or any other coated bullets for that matter is that sometimes it take a few shots for the velocity to stabilize and get consistant. This is one reason I do not like coated bullets except for rounds like the 50 BMG where controling copper fouling is a must.
I would say there are several areas to look at.
First off, with 800 rounds down the tube, you may or may not have a throat erosion problem. Really depends on how those 800 shots were fired. IF you kept the barrel relatively cool during shooting, I would be suprised if you were even half way to the end of your barrel life.
Course with a case this size, if the barrel did get heated up, and was still shot when hot, the throat may be eroaded quite badly.
This is the most obvious reason for velocity loss of this degree but it does not happen all at once.
Some other factors that may be in play are:
-Are you using a different lot of IMR-7828 then when you developed your first loads? If so this can often change velocity a significant amount in a case this large.
-Are your X bullets being seated to the same depth as your first load. Not measured with Over All Length but at the full diameter of the bullet at the beginning of the ogive.
The X bullet is extremely sensitive to seating depth, any solid bullet is. Even a change of .020" can dramatically drop or raise velocity(pressure). Another reason I do not use the X bullet, they are simply to finicky to shoot.
Lot to lot variations in bullet shank length are common to a small degree, this can effect the distance from the full diameter of the bullet to the origins of the rifling, changing pressures from one pot of bullets to another.
In my honest opinion, using a 150 gr bullet in a 30 cal magnum case with a case capacity of +100 grains is really a waste of alot of horsepower. Sure over 500 yards they are flat shooting as hell but past that they really start to drop off.
If I were you, before I did anything as far as rebarreling the rifle, I would get a box of 180 gr Accubond bullets and test them with H-Retumbo. My brother has the Sako in the Warbird and with this powder and bullet was able to hit +3500 fps with groups ranging from the 1/2 to 3/4 moa range with great consistancy.
Big cases are quite pissy with light bullets driven very fast. It seems anything of a weak link is magnified dramatically with a light bullet driven to very high velocities.
Whereas the heavier bullets can be driven to very good velocities and just seem to settle the big cases down as far as an accuracy standpoint is concerned.
I have never found the X bullets to be accurate enough and consistant enough for me to recommend them to my customers for use in the rifles I build for them.
For a rifle like yours that cost what it did to only shoot in the 1 moa range would just about make a guy sick. This is not a shot at you at all but are you being effected by the recoil and blast of this big 30 magnum? Does teh rifle have a brake fitted to the muzzle?
All of the things I have listed would probably not equal a 400 fps loss in velocity but the drop is just over 200 fps from your 3493 fps to your 3729 fps average to start with. This could easily be a result of a combination of the above listing.
To be honest and you probably do not want to hear this but personally, if you rebarrel the rifle, I would drop the Warbird adn go with something else. Even the 30-378 Wby or a 30-338 Lapua Improved which is basically a 7.82 Warbird would provide much better consistany from a brass stand point and its cheaper to buy as well.
Still before you do anything I would highly recommend dropping the X bullet and testing some Accubonds or something on that line. Load them off the lands about 0.010" to 0.015" to start with and then you can adjust the seating depth from there to see how they respond on target.
You will not get the screaming velocity with this bullet weight but if your rifle did not hit 3550 fps I would be suprised using Retumbo. Also, if your rifle does not shoot them inthe 3/4 moa or less range I would say its time for a change in barrel.
Couse if your rifle has never shot better then 1 moa, it may need to be torn down adn rebuilt with a quality accurizing job.
The cheapest step is to try a new bullet, then go from there is that does not work.
If it comes to rebarreling the rifle, find a smith that builds extreme accuracy rifles for a living. There are several on the board alone that do this including myself.
I assure you, that if you ordered one of my rifles it would not leave the shop until it was cutting 1/2 moa groups and I know that is teh standard from the other smiths on this board as well. You should not have to settle for 1 moa groups from a rifle that cost that much money. We could build one for much less that would shoot far better I assure you.
Good Shooting!!!

Re: Drop in Velocity?
Fiftydriver, Thanks for info
When you say the case tolerances are to loose do you mean in case weight.
You are correct about the Moly coated bullets. My first shots after cleaning the barrel were 2 inches high every time and then they would come down to the point of aim after 3 or 4 shots this always bothered me.
While we are talking new barrel, I spoke with Gary Schneider today who made the original barrell on the gun and he said that the #5 barrel I have on the gun may be " a little whippy" he sugested that if I did not mind the weight on my gun He would put the largest barrel the Mcmillian stock would hold. He also suggested shooting the non coated bullets.He thought that may be a problem with the 1moa groups.
I found some 180 Accubonds today but no Retumbo.
I also have no load data for the retumbo. But here is what I do have
Max Load data from Lazzeroni
180 Grain Nosler Partition 3.600 O.A.L. @ 70ºF
DuPont Min Max F.P.S. P.S.I.
Reloader 25 94GR 104GR 3560 66,400
Can anyone use this to give me a starting point for Retumbo
As far as the aol for that load If I use a fired case and tighten up the neck and insert the case in the chamber I come up with 3.760 with the accubond but I dont think any aol over about 3.650 will fit in the mag.
The rifle has a break. I shot it the 1st 300 rounds without the break screwed on because I thought it would affect the accuraacy. Then I shot it with the break and you do not have to wory about me shooting without the break anymore.WHAT A DIFFERENCE A BREAK MAKES. Do not get me wrong when I say it shoots 1moa I have shot 3 shot groups with it less than 1/2 moa and my best group is less than 1/2 inch at 300 yards but the next group will be 3 inches at 300 yards. It just does not seem to be consistant.Maby it is the Coated X bullet.
Again thanks for taking the time to help me with my problem.
PS. If I deside to keep the warbird do you have a reamer to chamber the rifle.

Re: Drop in Velocity?
After reading Fiftydrivers post I agree with him on almost every point,if you do have to re-barrel get as far away from lazzeroni chambers and brass as you can,the first thing to trash can is Barnes x bullets (I live only 7 miles away from Barnes and wish I could support a local company but every time I have used there product I have been disappointed)
the only point I disagree with Fiftydriver on is if you have to re-barrel he suggested a 30-378wby, I think even a 30-378wby is too much powder capacity for a 26" barrel. I have seen several 300RUM's that shoot faster than a 30-378 with far less powder. personally I will stick with my dirty old school 300wm.
On this topic one thing I find fascinating is that I have several shooting friends that shoot the lazzeroni warbird and they have all been convinced (or brain-washed)to shoot 150gr bullets in this cartridge, I see no logic to it at all it would be like shooting a 200gr flat base in a 50bmg wasting all that powder going so fast with no B.C.
If some one has a logical answer I'm listening

Re: Drop in Velocity?
Well here is mine. Not a very good one.
Lazzeroni suggest the 150 x bullet and because I purchased a gun from them I thought they would know there guns better than anyone else. I thought that the 1-12 twist barrell was better suited for bullets under 168. Also the 150 had less recoil than the 180,s.

Re: Drop in Velocity?
Your 12" twist is perfect for a .308 win to shoot 150-168gr. bullets fast and efficient for the case size, a Lazzeroni warbird is a waste with these size bullets, it would be like sending Rosie O'Donnell into Mc Donald's for a 79cent hamburger, this girl needs a double quarter pounder with cheese (180,200+ gr)
lazzeroni missed the boat but people buy into the leading edge hype like this and carbon fiber fluff barrels.
have a good weekend B

Re: Drop in Velocity?
What I was referring to as far as loose tolerances in the brass really is not the weight of each case, or the volume. They seemed to be acceptible in consistancy for this large of a case, suprisingly.
What I was referring to was body wall and case neck thickness. Some Lazzeroni brass I have measured in the case wall thickness just ahead of the solid case head varied by as much as 0.020" from one side of the case to the other. This is impressively bad consistance.
Others would be identical but there were enough bad ones in the lot of brass I measured to show the true colors of the brass quality. About 15% would be off by this much.
Case neck thickness also varied by up to 0.001" from side to side. Again, some was very consistant, others were pathetic in quality.
When you drop that kind of money on each case, they better be quality, all of them!!!
Schneider barrels are surely quality barrel, only bad thing the barrel is only as good as the machining in the rifle. I have not looked at enough Lazzeroni rifles to determine the quality of the machining in their rifles but this sounds like a mechanical problem to me.
Gary does have a point to the barrel whip issue but at only 27" of barrel length, a #5 contour is a pretty stiff barrel espeically when using 150 gr class bullets.
I use Lilja #6 contour 30" stainless barrels on my Extreme Sporters chambered for my Allen Magnum rifles and they print sub 1/2 moa consistantly and in the 1.5" range at 500 yards. True these are slightly smaller case capacities but they are longer barrels as well. I also totally free float the full barrel length and never have a problem with barrel whip, even in the 270 AM with the 130 gr bullets loaded to 3850 fps.
I also use Lilja #5 contours on my conventional sporters for rounds such as the 300 RUM which is only about 50 to 75 fps if that behind the Warbird in equal length barrels, never had a problem.
I will get you some load data from my brother that he developed in his Warbird with the 180 gr Accubond. He is getting some great groups out of his Sako.
Of the powders you list, RL-25 would be the best, IMR-7828 can be temp sensitive and 8700 can be a little dirty until top pressures are reached. Rl-25 is relatively temp resistant and will produce good velocities.
Retumbo will perform better then any of them in consistancy and top velocity and also temp resistant.
How close are you seating the X bullet to the origins of the rifling? Unfortunately, I would not recommend getting any closer then 0.050" off the lands for safety sake.
Your rifle obviously has a pretty long throat if the Accubond can be seated out to 3.760 on the shorter then full length Warbird case. Unfortunately this will effect accuracy unless the throat is cut to tight specs which by the sounds of it it is not.
For curiousity sake though, I would seat the Accubonds as long as possible and feed them single shot and see how they shoot. IF your groups shrink dramatically, you may want to look into having a longer mag box fitted if possible.
I do not have a Warbird reamer in shop but if you wanted a barrel chambered I would get one in.
If your barrel will shoot well at times and not at others, I would say we are dealing with either a mechanical vibration consistancy problem or a load dimension problem such as bullet seating depth away from the rifling.
Again, get a know accurate bullet and full test that first. The Accubonds already have a much better accuracy reputation then the X bullet ever will.
I would also like to warn you about that load data you listed, When we were developing loads in my brothers Warbird, Retumbo was not yet released and RL-25 was the powder for this round. Well, he was blowing primer pockets out at 102 gr and only 3450 fps with RL-25. Sure this was in the Sako rifle but I would be cautious about using Lazzeronis top loads.
HE lists his Warbird as faster then the 30-378 Wby which is about 15 gr larger in capacity then his case, physics are physics, this ain't possible without higher pressures.
I will get you some safe load data to start with the 180 gr Accubond and Retumbo.
Good Shooting!!

PLP Calls on Royal Gazette to Improve Inappropriate Content Removal
Recently, The Royal Gazette removed multiple comments that called a PLP candidate who has dedicated his life to combating racism "a racist." Rolfe Commissiong has dedicated much of his professional career to combating racism.
He established the Bermuda Race Relations Initiative which hosted workshops, forums and facilitated island-wide discussion on the topic. Thousands of Bermudians of all races participated.
He helped produce a feature length documentary entitled the Big Conversation which highlighted efforts to address racism.
In 2001, he accompanied Dr. Roosevelt Karamakefego to South Africa as a delegate of the Pan African Movement to attend and participate in the World Conference against Racism organized and sponsored by the United Nations.
He helped make the landmark Mincy Study on the young black Bermudian male a reality. And, he's championed the implementation of it's initiatives such as Job Corps. This is a man whose life has been dedicated to combatting racism.
The Progressive Labour Party supports the removal of these comments, however, we hope going forward that the Royal Gazette pays a little closer attention to the comments that are made on their website. Mr Commissiong has worked with many in Bermuda on the Bermuda Race Relations Initiative and it is inexcusable that comments that are to the contrary were even allowed to make it to the internet. We would suggest The Royal Gazette institute a policy where comments to their website are moderated as to not cause harm to the integrity or character of individuals, due to peoples' misperceptions of them.

Michigan DNR Calls 2012 Firearm Deer Season 'Successful'
Early reports from the Michigan DNR on the 2012 firearm deer season showed varying results from region to region.
Now that firearm season is over and we have more data, the Michigan DNR is calling 2012 "successful".
The number of licenses purchased was up 2% in 2012 vs. 2011.
Check station activity also increased in the Upper Peninsula and southern Lower Peninsula. Check station activity was about the same in the northern Lower Peninsula.
Deer were found to be in good condition.
Here's more from Michigan.gov:
The 2012 firearm deer season harvest appears similar or up slightly compared to the 2011 season. Experiences can differ widely within regions. DNR biologists estimate the harvest, compared to 2011, was up perhaps as much as 10 percent across the Upper Peninsula and very similar to last year in the northern Lower Peninsula. Experiences in the southern Lower Peninsula varied widely, and harvest in that region is expected to be anywhere from 5 percent lower to 5 percent higher compared to 2011.
"Some hunters in southern Michigan saw substantially fewer deer compared to last year," said Brent Rudolph, DNR Wildlife Division Deer and Elk Program leader, "yet we had pretty good conditions for hunters to enjoy their time afield, and the overall attitudes of deer hunters around the state have been upbeat."
Hunters that do not receive a survey in the mail but wish to provide their hunting and harvest information may visit www.michigan.gov/deer and select the Deer Harvest Reporting Form link.

Hospital ratings may miss high performers: study
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Looking for hospital ratings on the Internet or in magazines may not serve patients' best interests, with so-called "50 Best Hospitals" not necessarily any better than other medical institutions, a study said.
The study, published in the Archives of Surgery, looked at Internet-based HealthGrades and U.S. News & World Report, both of whose ratings it said are used by millions.
It showed that for three types of cancer surgery, "America's 50 Best Hospitals" as ranked by HealthGrades are no better than other hospitals once the number of patients they treat are taken into account.
Based on the U.S. News & World Report ratings, the top 50 hospitals trumped the rest on just one of the surgeries -- removal of the colon or part of it.
"Our findings show that both ratings fail to identify equally well-performing hospitals of similar volume," wrote Nicholas Osborne, of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and colleagues.
"Because these ratings list only a selected number of best hospitals, these consumer aids may dissuade patients from seeking care at closer high-volume, equal-quality hospitals."
The study examined how many patients died within 30 days of cancer surgery, comparing the top-50 hospitals from the two ratings to other hospitals across the nation.
The researchers made sure to adjust for differences between patients, including income and sickness. Their analysis is based on Medicare data -- limiting it to people over 65 -- and they didn't look at other important outcomes, such as complications and cost.
At first glance, U.S. News & World Report's best hospitals led the pack on all three surgeries, cutting the risk of death by between 31 and 58 percent. Continued...

January 14, 2010
By Kay Hixson, Director of Marketing and Communications, Grameen Foundation
As the hours wear on, we see more and more of the destruction. We just got these photos in today from our partners on the ground in Haiti. It is unimaginable that so many people have perished, but our spirits are lifted when we see heroic acts, people helping each other, and many risking their lives to help save their neighbors. We give a small sigh of relief every time we get a short text message saying "we found someone and they are OK."
There's much to be done, short and long term. One way to start is by adding your comment to this blog. We'll send them to the people of Haiti through our partners and friends in Haiti. You will probably never see the smiles you generate on the face of some weary, displaced Haitian or an exhausted relief worker. But it just might be the boost they need to keep going. I hope you will join us with a comment, and donate if you can.
All of you know we are here for you and there is much love and generosity in the hearts of Americans.
I am grateful to know that there are so many people pouring in, from around the world, to assist this poor island nation after the devastation. I hope Grameen, and its partner Fonkoze, can continue to keep us informed of the activities on the ground so we back at home can continue to raise support. Blessings to everyone down there working in the relief effort.
Sending much love and light to all. Hang in there. Om Mani Padme Hum. Good luck and best wishes.
Thank you for representing the international community in Haiti. Continue to push on and know that we all support you in many different ways. Peace and best wishes.
GF and its bottom-up micro financing model is helping to resolve the on-going debate between growth and development. Growth is "anything goes" economic activity that often displaces, enriches elites and the craven, and does little to substantively change the economic prospects of the many. "Development" can be community-driven, highly reciprocal and add real value to communities. It nurtures and doesn't displace.
As the world moves forward to help the people of Haiti, let's support GF. It understands how to truely help people to help themselves.
We're very grateful for the outpouring of generosity of spirit your difficult work represents. Thank you for the very important work as the world community joins forces in prayer and spirit.
The tragedy that you are faced with must seem insurmountable. I can only encourage you to persevere, knowing that we and others throughout the world will do what we can to help. God has the power and will delliver. We see pictures of your amazing spirit and the resilience that you are showing, and we know that you will overcome this.
It is time like these where we see the true meaning of "love they neighbor" put to the test. Thank God for organizations like yours and others who are committed to helping the less fortunate. The pictures are indeed grim coming out of Haiti, but the stories of sacrifice ad heroism are also coming from Haiti. So while the big story is the horrible devestation, I hope we will continue the hear and see the stories of those small victories that are so needed in times like these.
My prayers are with the people of Haiti and all of the people who are trying to help them. My tears are flowing as I watch the devastation I know everyone is doing what they can. Thank God for orgainzations like this one and others that are sending people there and I pray for their safety.
The world is watching, hurting and praying for you all. "As you have done unto the least of these..." Your courage is an inspiration.
"Lift up thine eyes unto the hills....from when cometh my strength." If the power of prayer is to be believed, millions and millions of citizens on this earth are focusing all of their prayer power toward Haiti. Know that you are not alone and not forgotten.
With God all things are possible. Our prayers are sending love, strength and the power to overcome all circumstances. Peace of the Lord be with you and your spirit.
The image that stays with me as I follow the news of the devastation in Haiti is that of people singing and clapping. How can this be? In the midst of so much loss, people are singing! I want you to know that your courageous spirit is inspiring people everywhere. Please remember that you are not alone. The whole world is with you.
My connections to Haiti are indirect but strong and enduring. My prayers, thoughts and support for the people of and in Haiti, your families, and friends at this time of need are unwaivering. As others have said, you are not alone. Your strength and courage inspire us all.
were very proud that you have so much concern to Haiti ,our prayers for your support,your families and were continue to pray for your strength,courage,your brave and a blessing to everyone in Haiti
Our brothers and sisters, my prayers and support are with you that during this dark hour the love and peace of God will sustain you. "I will lift my eyes to the hills from whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2
Today, we are all Haitians in spirit, heart and soul. A terrible tragedy for a people and nation that have known much sorrow, nevertheless all of humanity has been humbled, all are touched, and all pray for Haiti's resurrection. We send you all we have -- our love of all that is human and good!
In the weeks and months to come the Haitian earthquake will slowly fade away. The news organizations will leave and move on to the next "story". We will feel good that we contributed what we could, and then we will quickly shift our attention back to our own busy lives. But in Haiti the horror will still be unfolding. Without homes or jobs, with family members dead and dying, with the country in ruins, they will struggle just to stay alive. We need to make a long term commitment to those whose lives have been decimated. The best way to help would be to make a monthly contribution to an organization that is committed to helping Haiti long after the TV cameras are gone. With a steady flow of aid, instead of just an influx of money at the time of a disaster, we can help raise their standard of living. This in turn will help them withstand the next crisis without such a staggering loss of life.
You're a truly a blessing from God! there are not enough words in Webster Dictionary to said how proud we are to how much you give from the Heart. "GOD BLESS AND BE SAFE"
Our continuing prayers to all Haitians, deepest sympathies to the families who lost their loved ones, blessings to the people who unconditionally continue to support and lend a helping hand to this devastation. It is true that ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE, and even with this kind of devastation.. GOD WILL PROVIDE AND MIRACLES WILL SOON HAPPEN for the betterment of the people in Haiti. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
I cannot imagine the toll you are enduring. But you are a proud people, with incredible strength! Please kmow that there are so many of us out here with thoughts, and prayers for those of you that have suffered so much loss. We believe that you will rise above it all. May you, in some way, feel our love and embrace a heartfelt hug sent as encouragement and a ray of sunshine in, what must seem like an eternity of doom. Hang tough!

What a load of crap. Pretty much every night club ive been to in the last 10 years, has a no baggy pants rule. They make you wear your hat straight, no steel toe boots. This is nothing new. Just some college kids looking to make a quick buck.
#2 Oct 28, 2009
I have seen those clubs. But the thing is. Those same clubs allow some Vanilla Ice wannabee to waltz right in.
So it is based on racism.
#3 Oct 28, 2009
That is a lie, our best friend worked at this club for years-the only color they see is green, this club has been many things but racist it is not. If we quit profiling in this city we will never get the gang problem under control-that is why it is out of control now. The blacks in Chicago scream racism is you look at them wrong.

Most clubs will not let white sneakers baggy pants in no matter who is wearing them. Why don't you try this? Wear pants down to your ankles, baseball hat, and some sneakers with no shoe laces. Try to get in in any respectable place.
If anything they are discriminating by class. And if you would wear then you have none.

The main problem is the fact that bars feel they have to have these policies to stay alive, and the secondary problem is consistently enforcing them.

If you look like a gang-banger in Chicago, there is 99.9% chance you are. Believe me.

Actually you are wrong. Most are just stupid kids or wannabees.

It's not racism. It's dumb ass black kids dressed like thugs not getting into a popular bar. I've been there and it's not an all white bar.
#9 Oct 28, 2009
Has anyone really seen how these baggies are worn? These males look so stupid. How could they even think of this as a style. They walk like they have a load up their arse. People, you really need to take a second look at this rediculous "so called style", it is too funny.

There's a difference between baggy pants and sagging your pants. Baggy pants are pants that are not tight (loose fitting). Slim pants are tight pants. Sagging is when you are obviously sagging your pants off of your rear. They're not talking about sagging. The guy was wearing baggy pants. The pants were on his waist line. They were not sagging. His pants were just baggy. So for you to even comment on sagging when that has nothing to do with this topic is stupid.
#13 Oct 29, 2009
Same chit, they look rediculous. You must wear them ur way,huh. lol
#14 Oct 29, 2009
That's what I was wondering about, are there any other blacks in that bar?
#15 Oct 29, 2009
Ok let's talk about their ball caps. They were wearing them the same way Gang-bangers do and the pants were sagging. It is privately owned property-they should be able to serve who they want. Do you have any clue how hard it is to keep a bunch of idiots calm for the entire night? If someone looks like trouble then they should not be allowed to enter-for all you know the way the entrance is set up you can see idiots coming down the street. They could have been acting like idiots before they even got there in their too baggay of a pants.

There's a middle ground here...like it or not, there are many people who aren't comfortable in a club who's clientele is dressed gangsta. I've been to black clubs where the dress code is the same. You can't even wear tennis shoes.
And, let's face it, there's a vast number of people who classify "good" black people and "bad" black people by their appearance. Many white people would feel just fine in a club where there were "Obama" blacks, not so much with "DMX" blacks. Clearly, that's a generalization--but probably one that exists due to people's personal experiences. We're a pretty socially seperated country when it comes to race in many instances, it's hard not to make assumptions based on negative, isolated personal experiences and the information we're being fed by the media.

Can I get in wearin my tutu?
#18 Oct 29, 2009
evidentally you missed the part of Chicago having more gang-bangers per capita than any place else in the Country-we now are ahead of LA-we should be proud of our haven status on top of it.

How could anyone glorify the prison-based gangsta fashion, whether worn by blacks, whites, Mexicans or whomever?
It sucks. It represents dysfunction and lawlessness. Anyone who then identifies this with "black" people and thinks it's discrimination to forbid it, really is insulting black people.
When I think of black people, I do not think of some jackass gangsta thug, but then I'm not a racist.

Apparently the style of the clothing were not the issue. When one of the young black males switched pants with his white male friend the white male friend entered the club with the same clothing they would not allow the black male to enter wearing. They still did not allow the black male entry even when he was wearing different attire.
Right now the club is negotiating a settlement with all offended parties.
#21 Oct 29, 2009
If anybody thinks that color is the reason people don't get into nighclubs, they are out of their minds. You know what gets you by the "ropes" at a nightclub? MONEY and BEAUTY. Usually money for the men. Beauty for the women. No one gives a f uc k what color you are.
Now a days in night clubs, in places like Miami or New York, you have what they call "bottle service" in some of the "cooler" clubs. If you can buy a FOUR HUNDRED DOLLAR bottle of some bs vodka, guess what? You get in. If your white, asian, or BLACK. PERIOD. Yeah it sucks but that's the way it is.
The days of waiting in some long line and paying twenty bucks to get into clubs are over. At least here in places like the meat packing district.
There are plenty of people of ALL colors there. And the common denominator is MONEY. Nobody gives a F U CK about color.... if you've got the color green in your pockets.

Yes, plenty. Its a busy bar in the busy part of town. You dress up to the par, and they will let a martian in as long as he is going to spend $$.

Sea Breeze 107 is a great condo for a vacation, as long as you need nothing from the rental agency. As of today, March 3 trip has not responded to my Jan 30 email, they have not responded to their own survey which asked if I wanted to be contacted and I responded yes and they have not responded to my Feb 13 voice mail. I did accidentally finally get a live person on the phone and was able to get a broom so we could sweep the floors. I wanted to rent the unit for 2018...a little customer service would have been great.
My daughter and I stayed in Sea Breeze 107 for our Fall Break. We were so pleasantly surprised with the condo! The decor was up to date, the place was very clean, and the amenities were just what we needed. Close to the stairs and the elevator, only one floor up from the pool and a great view of the gulf! Noise was not a problem at all. If I head back to Madeira Beach, I will definitely stay here again!
Everything we hoped for. The amenities like beach towels and water accessories were wonderful. Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable and the view was awesome. Will definitely want to visit again.
My parents, and my boyfriend and I decided to go on a get-away vacation in the off-season to keep prices low. We visited Sea Breeze in Mid-September, and we were incredibly happy with our time here. Though the beds definitely weren't very comfortable, the other furniture, the large living space and the amazing view made up for it. There was the occasional noise from the unit above (chairs being pushed in and out, or a vacuum running, but nothing crazy.)
There weren't any bathroom toiletries, coffee, or coffee filters, and there was only one roll of paper towels that we went though in 3 days. We only had one trash bag as well, which made things a little inconvenient. There was also only salt, no pepper. Just a few bits and pieces missing that made it a little harder to cook in the kitchen.
There were a few minor maintenance issues, like the sliding glass door getting stuck, or the guest bedroom fan being really noisy. But the maintenance guy was incredibly nice and so helpful. Came to our room right away to fix whatever we needed. He also checked in with us afterwards to make sure we didn't have any other issues.
The beach and the pool were both incredibly easy to access, and we had no problem at all getting a chair at the pool. This unit has lots of toys, boogie-boards and beach chairs in the 2nd bedroom closet that we used every day. There were also about 5 beach towels that definitely came in handy. Loved waking up in the morning and sitting on the couch or the porch with our coffee. It was also really easy to rent cushioned beach recliners if you needed them. ($25/day).
The location of the property was great. There was a great bar across the street, Castaways Beach Bar, that we popped into a couple nights which was clean, fun and had great hospitality. The property was also only a few minutes drive to John's Pass, and several ice cream shops and restaurants.
I'd say a majority of the crowd at this property was older, with a rare child siting. This might be due to going in mid-September as well.
We asked for late checkout the night before our departure. We were supposed to be out at 11, but I emailed asking if we can be allowed any more time in the room since our flight wasn't until the evening. They emailed within ten minutes saying we could check out at 2! We had much more time at the beach and the pool before we left. I would definitely recommend this property! And I would happily visit again.
We stayed here for one week. We really enjoyed the condo! It was right over the pool and the hot tub so if you don't like the noise, I would suggest a different unit but we enjoyed hearing everyone enjoying their time outside. Beautiful view of the sunset and sunrise every day. Perfect location to candy shop, grocery store, restaurants and walking distance to John's Pass. The unit itself could have been cleaned a little more, we had to purchase some cleaning supplies to freshen up but altogether, we really enjoyed our stay! :)
This was the perfect spot for us. Right on the beach. The other guests were very friendly. The Itrip rep was super helpful prior to booking. Only issue we had was a broken lamp due to having both the main door and the balcony door open at the same time. It created a vacuum and slammed doors and the force knocked a lamp off the table. If I had known that prior to our stay it could have been prevented. Other than that we will absolutely stay here again!!!

Environmental groups say disease clusters are on the rise and the government needs to do more about it.
In a report released Monday, the Natural Resources Defense Council and the National Disease Cluster Alliance highlighted 44 communities in 13 states with higher than ordinary numbers of birth defects, cancer and other illnesses.
They cited eight communities in California [PDF], including Kettleman City, where residents have expressed concern over high levels of birth defects.
"We think this is just the tip of the iceberg," said Sarah Janssen, a senior scientist with the Natural Resources Defense Council. "It's not that there are only eight clusters in California. There are probably more."
Earlier this year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released a report saying there was no link between birth defects in Kettleman City and polychlorinated biphenyls that are found in high levels in the city's dump.
The coalition of environmental groups says the government's 1976 Toxics Substance Control Act is weak and ineffective, and their report indicates more stringent regulations are needed.
"When a community is struck by abnormally high rates of an illness, people naturally ask questions," wrote Gina Solomon, one of the report's authors and a senior researcher at the Natural Resources Defense Council, in her blog. "Unfortunately, often clusters don't get fully investigated; or when they do, often the investigations come up with clues but no clear cause. Although it is difficult to conclusively prove what caused any specific disease cluster, we can gather invaluable clues and hints from these tragic events."
Solomon, along with consumer advocate Erin Brockovich, will testify before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on Tuesday. Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., chairs the committee. She introduced legislation that would help communities with suspected disease clusters determine whether environmental contaminants were contributing to illness.
Other California communities cited in the report include Carlsbad, Earlimart, McFarland, Montecito, Oroville, Rosamond, and neighborhoods around Santa Susana Field Laboratory in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. The report also mentions Hinkley, although it is not identified as a cluster site.
The authors of the report used disease registries, state records, federal records, media reports and scientific studies to find the clusters.
They don't point to specific causes for any one of the disease clusters they analyzed. However, they do suggest possible contributors.
For instance, in Carlsbad, the report points to work done by the Carlsbad Cancer Connection, which has identified homes built on pesticide-contaminated farmland and a local power plant as the culprits behind higher-than-normal levels of childhood cancer.
Dale Kemery, a spokesman for the Environmental Protection Agency, said there was little for the organization to comment on concerning the future of the agency's chemical laws.
"That's up to Congress," he said. "EPA can't make that call."

Bangor Police are hosting a National Night Out gathering.
The party in the park aims to raise awareness for crime prevention.
They are hosting the event from 6 to 8 pm Tuesday at Stillwater Park, along Howard Street.
There will be free food, games, and live police demonstrations.
The last two years, Second Street Park hosted the party and, police say, the event helped improve the area.
Jason McCambly, Bangor's Community Relations Officer, said, "I think what they found is when they're one big voice instead of a lot of individual smaller ones then things get done. I mean, one of the things they wanted to do was try to clean up Second Street Park and by having the event there two years in a row, it worked. If you go to that park now it looks so much different than it did two years ago."
Police are also asking residents to turn their porch lights on in support of the East and West Side Neighborhood Watch groups.
If you'd like to get involved with either of those groups, click here for information on the West Side Watch and here for information on the East Side Watch.

You are currently browsing the daily archive for 17 August 2011.
The purpose of this meditation is to encourage us to find protection from lower rebirth.
I began by thinking about how my mind will move on to another body once this life comes to an end. The form of the new body will be dictated by the nature of the karma that ripens at my time of death. Negative actions are the cause of lower rebirth. I know I have committed far more negative actions than positive ones, so it is almost certain that I will take rebirth in the lower realms.
Once this happens, I will have lost my opportunity to attain enlightenment for many aeons.
I focused on this loss of opportunity, and settled on it as the object of my meditation. I felt very sad that my opportunity had slipped through my fingers, and fearful of the suffering that will have to be experienced. My mind felt still and peaceful, like an autumn day, when everything is still, and the colours indicate that the season of growth and health is over, and ahead lies cold and decay. It felt peaceful, but deeply sad and fearful.
May all living beings recognise the prospect of rebirth in the lower realms, and develop fear, and thereby turn to the Three Jewels for refuge. May they attain enlightenment.
Practice in the meditation break
Given the precious human life I have, and the inevitability of death, I will bear in mind the value of my opportunity, and how, once it is gone, my opportunity will be over.

Moments after BYU's 20-13 loss to Utah last Saturday, offensive coordinator Robert Anae was downright blunt in his assessment regarding why the Cougars lost.
"We got beat tonight in the trenches," Anae said. "That's something where we got to simply get better. Credit goes to Utah. They were better than we were there."
Statistically, the Cougars held their own. BYU out-gained Utah 443-402, had 24 first downs to Utah's 16, and held the Utes to 1 of 14 on third-down conversions.
Anae recognized that the Cougars ran 27 more plays and often saw quarterback Taysom Hill running for his life.<

Spending much time in the Summer sun? Would you like an effective pre- and post-sun natural sunscreen alternative? Here's a couple wonderful blends with strong antioxidant and UV-ray protective properties that will do your skin right!
The value of the CO2-distilled oils in these blends cannot be overstated. This distillation method results in a wider-range of phyto-nutrients in the oil. This is what makes these deeply-colored oils so effective.
It's these colored components of the oils which imparts their diverse anti-oxidant and regenerative properties to the skin. These compounds can help stop, or at least slow, the aging process that excessive sun exposure can cause. Sea Buckthorn oil was even studied by the Soviet space agency for use by cosmonauts to protect their skin from UV rays in space!
Another reason CO2-distilled oils work so well in skin-care is that they are very gentle — your skin won't mind higher concentrations than it may with traditional steam-distilled oils.
Each of these CO2 oils has a complex mixture of nutrients that limit the two major skin aging processes: oxidation and inflammation. Oxidation occurs when a photon of light knocks an electron from its orbit in a molecule. That molecule then becomes an "oxidative radical", and tries to steal electrons from other molecules.
The phytonutrients in these CO2 oils stop this process by donating an electron to the oxidative radical. There are several "classes" of oxidative radicals, and that's one reason a blend of antioxidant oils can be useful.
Inflammation is the other aspect of sun-damage we'd like to prevent. German chamomile CO2, and carrier oils such as Virgin Coconut and Tamanu are also known for their anti-inflammatory activity (as are, actually, all the oils listed above, but the Chamomile may be the strongest, and it's important to consider not just ANY carrier oil, but ones with known anti-inflammatory activity as well.
We use a couple of different blends here ourselves just for this purpose, and really you can mix 3 of any of these CO2 oils in really any carrier oil for a great formula – we highly recommend our Super Skin Care base on our Carrier Oils page, and others have used our jojoba coconut cream base successfully.
Apply these before and after sun exposure, and perhaps again later in the day for best results. You may find your skin turns a little red while the antioxidants absorb, but it won't take too long.
Sun Blend #1 – to make each 1 fluid ounce
Add to the base oils of your choice – we suggest our Super Skin Care Base, or Jojoba coconut cream!
1ml (35 drops) Sea Buckthorn Berry CO2
1ml Carrot Root CO2
7 drops Rosemary Antioxidant (it's really potent!)

1ml (35 drops) Sea Buckthorn Berry CO2
