Max Clifford, the magnificent scandal-broker who can now add Jeffrey Archer to his list of magnificently destroyed reputations, has an office on New Bond Street, accessed via a discreet little door next to Russell & Bromley. Then it's up three flights of stairs to a large room. Framed tabloid front pages shout from the walls - "Mellor Made Love In A Football Strip," "Freddie Starr Ate My Hamster," "Di's Secret Tryst With Carling," "Dirty Des" - while three secretaries attend to the madly ringing phones.
Max Clifford, the magnificent scandal-broker who can now add Jeffrey Archer to his list of magnificently destroyed reputations, has an office on New Bond Street, accessed via a discreet little door next to Russell & Bromley. Then it's up three flights of stairs to a large room. Framed tabloid front pages shout from the walls - "Mellor Made Love In A Football Strip," "Freddie Starr Ate My Hamster," "Di's Secret Tryst With Carling," "Dirty Des" - while three secretaries attend to the madly ringing phones.
It was worse at the beginning of the week after the Archer story first broke. "Two hundred calls a day, including one from a woman to complain that only half her fitted kitchen had arrived. People think Max can fix anything!"
This morning, it's Catherine from GMTV. Then Vanity Fair in Washington. Then Phil Hall, editor of the News of the World. Phil Hall, editor of the News of the World! I could make a few bob here, it suddenly occurs to me. And, yes, I'm impressively quick off the mark.
"Tell Mr Hall a woman who claims to be carrying Alan Titchmarsh's love child is in the office," I cry. "She says Alan likes her in hot-pants and wellingtons! Tell him he can have all this exclusively for £400,000 and a hide-out in Mauritius." The secretaries laugh uproariously. They think I am having them on. They're quite young and, as such, cannot imagine having sex with Alan Titchmarsh. Tragically, I am not so young, and have rather come round to the idea. Would I like a seat? Yes, I say. "In my condition, you do need to rest when you can."
Max looms towards me from the top of those stairs. He has a big, solid head and big, fat, black hairy eyebrows, as if two juicy caterpillars have got quite far up a huge slab of stone and can't be bothered to go any further. I greet him like the old friend he is. Oh, yes. Max and I go way back, to when I was a trainee reporter on the Wimbledon Guardian and, for some reason, he took me out for lunch - egg and chips in a greasy spoon, if I recall.
He remembers me, of course. "Did we ever meet?" he asks. "Well, if you say so." What a wag! I tell him I'm cross with him. Not one exclusive in all the years we've known each other! I would get into quite a state about this, but my doctors have told me it's unwise to get upset during the first trimester. I let him in on my own little secret, naturally. I tell him I'm relying on him to get me the best deal. He doesn't look convinced.
He says, by way of reply, that breaking the story about the Blair baby was good. (Yes, that was him, too). "It was enormous fun, and earned me a HUGE amount of money." No, he cannot tell me the source. Yes, Piers Morgan (editor of The Mirror, to whom he sold the story) was quite taken aback when he summoned him to dinner and told him the news. "He literally choked on his lobster lasagne."
OK, my news isn't quite up there with Cherie's. Still, it doesn't have to be Mauritius. It could be Pontins. Max still doesn't look especially excited. He can have quite a cold, humourless manner.
We move into a smaller room. His personal office, I assume. Here it is "Chief Of Defence In Sex And Security Scandal" and "I Am Having All Eight Babies". I wonder whether he feels any sympathy for Jeffrey. No, he says. "He's as hard as nails. And her." Mary? "Yes. She is very intelligent, but calculating and hard." He says he'd known about the false alibi for years. He says he tried to warn Jeffrey, in fact. "I said to him, six months ago, I don't understand why you're standing for mayor. You're rich, you're successful, don't do it. You know what's going to happen. Your past is going to be raked up again." And? "He just laughed." He adds that if Jeffrey had been happy to carry on as "author and lightweight" he would not have used the information. "But no way should he be doing the job of mayor."
He goes on about Jeffrey, about his "massive desire for power", his "arrogance" and "pomposity". These are qualities, he concludes, "that I just find so ugly. Mellor and Aitken. So pompous. Only one person matters to them, and that's them. They've no desire to help anyone. And such hypocrisy. Mellor was saying 'back to basics' and basing his whole image on his family life, and it was all a sham."
I think he thinks he might be on some kind of moral crusade. "Not at all," he says. "I've never lectured anyone on morality. Mellor was a hypocrite."
But exposing Des Lynam as a "love cheat"? Where is the moral justification for that?
"Des was a fair cop. He got the woman to move into a new house, which she thought they were going to be sharing together. He then didn't have the balls to see it through. That's dishonourable."
"Wasn't representing the Stephen Lawrence suspects rather dishonourable, Max?"
"They came to me for advice. I told them that if they wanted to change their public perception they should go on TV, live. I introduced them to Martin Bashir. I thought it unfair they'd never had a chance to put their side of the story."
"Hang on! They had every chance to put their side of the story during the trial, but chose not to."
"They are ignorant young boys. They did what their solicitor told them. I didn't actually represent them. They asked me to but I said no."
"You've represented Mr Al Fayed, though?"
"Yes. I still talk to him daily. I like him. He's very kind, generous, always the first to help people."
"But he's more self-invented than Lord Archer!"
"So what? I don't have a problem with that as long as he doesn't want to become Mayor of London."
"What if he did?"
"I could back that, actually. He would make a great figurehead."
So this is PR, where nothing is absolute, the truth is wherever you wish to find it and your heroes can be who you want them to be. I feel as if I'm in some eerily distorting hall of mirrors. I find Max Clifford hard to reconcile. Destroying people is what he does best. Yet he is keen to stress his Good Works. "I don't make money for Max Clifford. I make it so I can help other people."
Fees for TV appearances go to the Royal Marsden hospital. He represents many charities free of charge. He recently moved from a modest semi in Raynes Park to Walton-on-Thames, yet returns every Wednesday morning to do some shopping for an elderly neighbour "and have a cup of tea with her".
He is devoted to his daughter, Louise (who suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and has undergone 12 major operations) and his wife of 32 years, Liz. He and Liz live a frighteningly blameless life that includes "pork chops on Monday and fish and chips from Super Fish in Walton on Thursday". Now I think about it, when we had lunch all those years ago, he gave the café owner a big note and told him he would pay for everyone eating there that day. Why?
Maybe what it comes down to is a class hatred that produces a need to assert himself as thesaviour of ordinary people: "If someone can't afford to go on holiday, I'll pay for them. I can pay for people's operations." Does he think of himself as a kind Robin Hood? Possibly, but I don't think his prime motivation is spreading goodness. I think it's hate. He hates "the establishment, who are plummy and corrupt". (Is he fond of Mr Fayed because the establishment hates him?) He loathes the Tories, ostensibly because of Louise "and what they did to the NHS". When I ask him where the pleasure comes from in his work, he says: "I don't get any pleasure from seeing someone like Archer hunted down, but people were starting to forget how sleazy the Tories are. Now they are back to square one."
A passionate Labour man, he thinks he may have won the last election for Blair. "I played a part in attaching the word sleaze to the word Conservative... I was happy to contribute to their downfall." I put it to him that New Labour aren't exactly exemplary. One of their first moves was to attack the disabled. He won't have it. "They were trying to cut down on people milking the system."
Yes, he brokered the Ron Davies story. He has showbiz clients. But it's the Antonia de Sanchas and Lady Bucks and Ted Francises that have given him most satisfaction. Through them, he's been able to topple the Mellors and Sir Peter Hardings and Jeffrey Archers.
He may be motivated by revenge. When I ask about his childhood, he recalls large chunks of it in terms of class hurts that obviously still sting. The youngest of four children, he was born and brought up in Wimbledon. "On the top of the hill were the rich folk who were powerful and influential. I was very much bottom of the hill, in a terraced house with an outside toilet and tin bath." His mother, Lilian, was "a lovely, fat, jolly woman who would give her dinner away when my friends called round because there would not be enough for another one". When Max visited friends up the hill, "I'd often be made to wait outside until they had finished their meal".
On his first day of junior school, he bloodied the nose of the headmaster's son because he'd told him to clear off and "I didn't like his attitude". He left school at 15 for a job in Elys, the local department store. He hated it. "The shop was full of these snooty old ladies from Wimbledon village waiting for me to bow and scrape to them, which I couldn't do."
His father, Frank, had come down in the world. Born into a wealthy family who owned residential properties, his first job was collecting rents, but "he couldn't bear to turf people out. He packed it in". His parents - Max's paternal grandparents - did not speak to him for 20 years. He ended up working on the railway. "He was an intelligent man who was not fulfilled," Max says. "He'd spend moody hours on the piano playing his classical music. It could change from light to dark and he'd still be sitting there. He would like to have gone to concerts, but couldn't afford it."
I don't know what to make of Max Clifford. I don't dislike him, but I find the combination of cold vindictiveness and overweening virtue disturbing. Which is the cover-up for which? I'm not sure I'd want him to represent me, if he wasn't the best for the job. So how about it, Max? It needn't be £400,000. It could be 40p, plus expenses if they wish me to pose in hot-pants and wellingtons. He still doesn't look convinced. He says he has to meet someone for lunch. I get the bus home. It's an uncomfortable ride. Ouch! Kicking again. Anyone would think it was laying new turf in there!Reuse content

Garage floor slope
We have noticed that in our new home (built 1 year ago), the garage floor in the first stall slopes toward the house and not out the garage door. I had the concrete contractor come and take an look and he said that they have little control how concrete sets up. I know that is wrong and I think he should fix the problem. His "band-aid" fix is to cut some slots in the concrete so the water runs down these tracks. I realize this is a garage, but I think it will not look good and worry the cuts may fill with dirt, etc.
Do I have any recourse? The general contractor said I had to contact the concrete contractor, so I am thinking he is trying to pass the buck.
Your thoughts are appreciated.
UNLESS you contracted w/the conc contractor directly, you bought the house from the bldr,,, that repair method's shoddy & you're right.
luckily you noticed this now so 1st ck your homeowner's warranty - SOME issues MUST be address'd in the 1st yr &, to protect your rights, may require a certified letter,,, pay particular attn to moisture in the foundation walls ( block or conc walls ? ? ? )
the proper repair method's to overlay the floor providing positive drainage towards the garage door,,, many conc contractors do NOT have the nec experience, expertise, or access to the nec mtls,,, btw, there is NOTHING that will work avail at an apron strore,,, ONLY from a specialty conc supply store ( acid stain, polymer-modified cements, 50% solids sealers, etc )
Thank you for the response. We will look at our contract. What is an "apron store"? I assume a large home type store where the helpers wear and apron. I have just never heard that term.
your warranty's different from your contract of sale, etc,,, ea state's seemed, in their neverending wisdom, to create different rights & obligations, too,,, in the end, most are better'n a sharp stick in the eye but not by much as lawyers representing bldrs associations were allowed to get too involved.
' apron store ' is my creation however you/anyone may feel free to use &/or adopt it as their own w/o any licensing fee :no: also created ' not as good as i once was but good once as i ever was,,, someone else turned it into a song & forgot me :laughing:

Amla,brahim,and henna helped me tremendously with my shedding
Sent from my MB612 using CurlTalk App
I was going to recommend ayurvedic herbs for cleansing and conditioning...it can take more time and be a bit messy, but when I use them regularly shedding is less, hair feels thicker and I notice new growth at my hairline...granted, I don't have major thinning issues, but aritha, shikakai & neem for cleansing, and adding brahmi, amla & bhingraj for conditioning seems to really help with growth and thickness...wishing you well...

Has anybody tried using 9mm parts from Sarco to convert a TT33 over to 9mm?
Specifically these two items:
TOKP034 Barrel 9mm very good condition $39.95
TOKP037 Barrel bushing 9mm $16.50
List of parts is here: http://www.sarcoinc.com/tokp.html
Recently I tried doing a conversion using parts from e-gunparts, but that turned out to be a bust (9mm barrel didn't fit my barrel bushing, also link lug was out of spec on the 9mm barrel). See this thread if interested: http://forums.gunboards.com/showthread.php?t=32993
Just curious if anybody has tried those Sarco parts on their TT33 and was successful with the conversion.
"No Free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." - Thomas Jefferson
I personally would rather have a separate pistol in 9mm, but your project sounds interesting and fun. I have had a number of very unhappy experiences with SARCO and cannot recommend them at all, but if you get the gun running, please post your experiences! Gun lore is always worth reading about!!

Picked one up at an on line auction (without bushing, barrel only). Was told it was Chinese ? It drops in perfectly (no fitting or adjustments) and shoots just fine. One problem tho, every couple of clips, it jams. I'm guessing it wants a 9mm mag, as the Tok mag is a little too large. Thought I would use it more….but Tok ammo is more or less the same price as 9mm and it is the round the pistol was built for.
Was a soldier, very young, and they turned me into an old man. Sometimes in the early morning, before the sun is up, I think of fallen brothers, first with smiles...then with tears.
I have two barrels in 9mm for my tok - one requires a different bushing (i believe it is from a commercial chineese tok) and the other one works great with the original bushing. Links were pre-installed on both barrels and they all work fine. Original tok mag is not the 100% for 9 mm - it works but does jam occasionally. The wide well 9mm chineese mag works great. Still, i think that it is just a waste of money - if i'd be smarter back then i would've bought 2 toks - one chineese or hungarian in 9 mm and one in 7.62 rather then a barrel.
Thanks for the replies guys, it's much appreciated.
That's one of the things that's been keeping me from purchasing the parts is Sarco's reputation of being not so great to do business with, and my recent failure in trying to do the conversion with an e-gun parts barrel which didn't fit my bushing. I'm guessing the 9mm barrels carried by e-gun parts must be for a commercial Chinese Tok as they don't seem to have a barrel that fits my bushing, and the bushings they do have for sale are for the 7.62X25 barrel, so there's no way to purchase the right combo of parts from them.
The more I shoot it, the more I REALLY like my Tok, and since I reload my own 9mm, it was kind of a natural thing to want the ability to shoot 9mm too in the same frame. Maybe my best bet would be to just keep an eye out for a Norinco Tok in 9mm to add to my collection, then I'd have both calibers available to shoot without swapping out parts (plus the Norinco would have the correct magazine for 9mm). Too bad you can't get them new in the US anymore. That's probably the best direction to take the more I think about it.
I have a funny feeling though that I need to invest in another 7.62X25 Tok too before the current imports run dry, it's always good to have a spare!
"No Free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." - Thomas Jefferson
I have both a Norinco 213 9mm and a Romanian TT-33. I was able to get the 9mm barrel and bushing from the Norinco to work in the Romanian. I could also get the 9mm rounds to work in the wider mags by tapping them against the shooting table before inserting the mag, so that they line up in front of the mag.
I just got enough $$ to be able to buy a couple of more 9mm Tok barrels. I'm converting the Norinco to be able to shoot 9x23 Winchester, I have already done it to the Romanian Tok.
Mastiff, what velocities are you getting with 9x23?
Also, do 7.62 Tok mags work totally reliably with the 9x23?

I had my T.U.90 down in Cinci over the weekend and we took a bunch o guns out to the farm and did some shooting. I have the origonal 9mm barrel and a 7.62 barrel that I picked up. Both work with the same bushing and the 9mm feed moderately well from the 7.62 mags. I shot up the box of surplus 7.62 first and then switched out the barrels and fired off a few boxes of 9mms. Out of 150 or so 9s I had 6 jams, all of wich cleared easily. I never thought of taping the rounds to the front of the mag, I'll have to try that. I'll also start looking for a 9mm mag with the spacer and maybe a 9x23 barrel.
Every day is an adventure of one sort or another, if you live, you learn.
I just attempted a 9mm conversion on my Tokarev TT-33 with a 9mm barrel from Gunparts Corp. The barrel seems to function ok with the link and all, but wont fit the existing barrel bushing. I measured both barrels and found the 9mm to be .012 larger in diameter than my existing 7.62X25. I guess I need to find a larger barrel bushing for the 9mm or turn the barrel to remove .012. Or I could buy a seperate barrel bushing for the 7.62X25 caliber and ream it out to fit the 9mm barrel. Such are my choices. I guess Sarco Inc has a 9mm barrel bushing for sale but wonder if it will realy fit my barrel. Suggestions would be appreciated.

I haven't had any problems whatsoever with the Tok mags and the 9x23 Winchester.
I needed to use the Norinco 9mm bushing with the 9mm barrel, the original bushing on the Romanian won't fit the 9mm Norinco barrel.
Gunparts has barrel bushings, but they don't fit that 9mm barrel that you purchased from them, anyway that's my personal experience when I attempted a 9mm conversion on my Tok using their parts. They only seem to offer one bushing size, though they do offer two part numbers (576320A and 576320B), but I was told by them they are exactly the same part, they just list them as two part numbers for different Tok's (and I see both are sold out too). Confusing and frustrating at best, since you are just guessing really if you get the right combo of parts. I did my best to get the right combo of parts from from them, but was never successful, maybe you will have better luck.
As for Sarco, I think I've come to the conclusion that I'm just going to try and find a nice used Norinco in 9mm as my second Tok.
"No Free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." - Thomas Jefferson
I'm still new to the gun world, but why would you want to take a fast fps 7.62X25 that is armor piercing and 1/2 the price of 9mm and convert it to 9mm??
It basically comes down to enjoying the ergonomics of the TT33, and wanting to tailor it to different shooting situations or needs, thus the desire for both calibers. I will have to say though, having one in 9X23 looks like a GREAT combination!

"No Free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." - Thomas Jefferson
The conversion only costs $45, and if you reload 9mm brass is free for the taking. Most of the 7.62x25 is berdan primed, and not reloadable. Therefore the cost to shoot 9mm goes way down compared to 7.62x25.
Also, as stated, you probably don't want a bullet that will go through the bad guy and hit the person behind him in the normal course of things. If you are in the city the Tok round isn't the best idea. Where there are fewer people and you get longer shots it beats 9mm.
Fairlane, I'm very frustrated with the 9mm conversion myself. Wish I never started this project. Everything is hard to locate including a lousy spare barrel bushing. I would be willing to ream it out to fit my 9mm barrel if I could find one. If I get real frustrated I might just turn down the barrel and hope it works. Hope your project goes better than mine.

The "overpenetration" argument only applies to FMJ's and even then may or may not be true depending on what 9x19 round the 7.62 Tok round is being compared to. Deep penetration of hard targets like steel plate does NOT necessarily apply to other media.
In my opinion the Tok is a very poor concealed carry pistol for a variety of safety reasons, none of which have to do with the cartridge itself. The conditions under which I prefer it are wholly different than those presented in typical in-town concealed carry situations.

I feel your pain... maybe you could take a chance with Sarco? They do list a 9mm bushing, it may very well fit your barrel, or at least it would provide you with a bushing you could ream out if it in fact does turn out to be one of the 7.62X25 bushings with the smaller opening. I have already returned all of my parts to Gunparts.com for refund a while back since even the barrel they sent me wouldn't fit in the slide, much less my barrel bushing, it was really out of tolerance.
I have decided to find a used Norinco 9mm instead of going the conversion route, it will cost more money, but hopefully will be much less aggravation!

My personal carry weapons of choice are the Kel-Tec P-3AT and PF-9, both of which I feel much safer carrying (and are a lot smaller and lighter) than the TT-33. However, they don't make me smile nearly as much when shooting them as the TT-33... go figure!

"No Free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." - Thomas Jefferson
This is from a different board. I take no responsibility for the info, it is just the way I converted mine:
I got the information from Clark, I'll repeat his post below. I have a 115 piece TIN coated drill bit set from Harbor Freight. I just followed Clarks directions about using the different sized drills. I used a 9x23 Winchester round and 9x23 empty case from fired cases of CorBons Pow'rball load in 9x23, since I have a Star Super A that will fire the round.
I didn't need anything extra, simce I had a spare Norinco 213 barrel that I got years ago that I have never needed. Sarco and Numrich have 9mm barrels for sale.
From Clark:
CAUTION: The following post includes loading data beyond currently published maximums for this cartridge. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Neither the writer, The High Road, nor the staff of THR assume any liability for any damage or injury resulting from use of this information.
I converted a Tokarev or two to 9x23mm by reaming out a 9x19mm barrel.
The Tokarevs are designed for the 7.62x25mm Tokarev round with an OAL of 1.35".
That is longer than the magazine design for 45acp at 1.275" or 9x19mm Luger at 1.169"
IIRC, the 9x23mm cartridge is not SAAMI registered, but most put the OAL at 1.245"
I have been shooting 9x23 in my Tokarev with:
158 gr Hornady XTP JHP and 16 gr of Power Pistol, 1.36"
In contrast, the Alliant max load for 357 magnum is:
158 gr Hornady XTP JHP and 8 gr of Power Pistol, 1.575"
For those who know what that means, they can see my Tokarev has gone atomic with 9x23mm
Could you share with me who you got to convert a Tok to 9x23?
1) Put a 9x23mm reamer in a lathe tailstock chuck and the barrel in the lathe headstock chuck and remove material with Sulfered cutting oil until a case will chamber with the pistols assembled.
2) Or, put a 9x23mm reamer in a drill chuck, and hold the drill chuck in the right hand and the barrel in the left hand, and give a twist of the wrist until as 9x23mm case will chamber.
3) Or, use a 115 piece drill set, a drill chuck, and two hands.
(Had a url to a drill size chart here)
As you can see, V drill will make a .3770" hole and a W drill will make a .3860" hole. The correct choice for lengthening the chamber is 25/64ths =.3906". This make the chamber .0060" sloppy, but that is fine.
The throat should be .357"
As you can see the T drill makes a .358" hole. that is .001" oversize
23/64 drill will make a .3594" hole, that is .0027" oversize.
U drill will make a .3680" hole, that is .011" oversize.
I find that I like the U drill better for getting the cartridge to fall in the chamber, but drill holes made with a twist of the wrist may be a few thousands small.
I seat a .358" LSWC bullet out to 1.36" and cut the throat until the cartridge falls in.
If you want 1.36" loads with 158 gr .357" and .358" bullets, then the 9x23mm reamer from Brownells is not going to do it all.
I'm in the process of installing a 9mm barrel in my Romo Tok pistol. While waiting for my new barrel bushing to arrive, I was thinking about the process of feeding 9mm cartridges out of a 7.62 mag. Then a disturbing thought came to me of what would happen if one should forget a 7.62 barrel was in the pistol and feeding 9mm ammo. The 9mm round happens to chambers in the 7.62 barrel ok. All I can imagine is a 9mm bullet going thru a 7.62mm barrel. The results have to be catastrophic. I can't see any way to avoid this potentially dangerous situation. Any thoughts on this?
Make certain that the barrel is marked 9mm or 7.62 and always check the barrel marking before loading!
I don't think it will close on it.
Every day is an adventure of one sort or another, if you live, you learn.
Wolf 115 grain fmj 9x19 feeds fine out of my CZ-52 7.62x25 magazines.
One member posted a photo of a 9mm bullet with a .30 hole blown right through it's nose; he popped it into a 7.62 X 25mm CZ-52 IIRC as he had another one in 9mm on the bench, and it blew the lead core right out through the nose of the jacket.
The pistol, much to it's credit, held.
You've GOTTA be CAREFUL when messing around between these two rounds!
That's one reason why I'd rather convert a normally 7.62 chambered pistol into 9X21, LARGO, or (I didn't realize it would fit but apparently it does) X23 Win, even if I didn't care about the extra horsepower. You ain't gonna get one of those rounds in a .30 TOK chamber! Besides; the magazine being made for the longer than X19 round, the longer 9s should function more reliably I would think.
I don't worry about brass; I make my X25mms out of cut down 5.56X45mm / .223 cases to begin with; I'd just trim 'em a little shorter and neglect to neck them down, that's all.
Yes, I have finally completed the conversion. Getting the right parts was no easy task. The 9mm barrel came from Numrich, the barrel bushing from Springfield Sporter. It works, but there is too much clearance between the barrel and bushing. So I went looking for parts once again. Bought another 9mm barrel from a Gunbroker auction. This time the barrel was turned down and fit my original 7.62 barrel bushing with too much clearance. In frustration I made my own barrel sleeve for the 9mm barrel bushing to fit the turned down 9mm barrel. This works nicely but it took a lot of efford and I probably would have been better off to buy a complete 9mm Tokarev pistol. Still want to continue the 9mm conversion?
In my sons case it might be a nice option because there was a problem with shooting that bullet at our range. It is just too hot and I guess because of the steel bullet it bounces off of the backstop and up into the bullet collector with a hail of sparks. Very impressive but not appreciated by the staff.
There are lots of Norinco tt33 9mm mags available. They are standard 7.62 width and have a spacer in the mag. I think they refer to them as Type B 9mm Mags but please confirm. Type A is a narrow 9mm mag and will not work.
I have a Norinco 201C, stock in 9mm. Also have a 7.62x25 barrel that uses the same bushing. Even though I now have the dedicated 9mm mags, have had no problems with 7.62 mags. I use a short piece of a wooden chopstick as a mag loader- depress floorplate and load. Holds the 9mm rounds to the front of the mag and feeds perfectly. I transport loaded mags with stick in place, removing it when ready to insert in mag well.
The 9mm barrel has a bright finish. I cold blued the 7.62mm barrel so that you can tell at a glance which barrel is in the pistol. I like having the switch barrel setup. The 7.62 surplus ammo is super cheap and a blast to shoot, but there is a much wider selection of defense loads available for the 9mm.

my 9mm conversion barrels dropped right in and function perfectly
the barrel on the left is a 9mm conversion from SARCO that uses the standard barrel bushing
the barrel on the right came off a Norinco 213 9mm pistol and has a heavier / thicker barrel and uses the larger diameter barrel bushing
I also picked up a couple 9mm mags with a spacer inside for the shorter 9mm round, but any standard 7.62 Tok magazine will also function with these barrels

Hello, a fellow in Kansas City has TT-33 barrels in 9x23 Winchester and 38 Super. They only fit 7.62x25 pistols.
He also matches Bushings to the barrels for a National Match type fit. This single custom touch improves point of aim in the same way it does on Colt 1911's.
Norinco 213's are not the same as the 7.62x25 pistols. Only the Norinco models 51, 54, and TU-90 are true 7.62x25 frames and slides.
If you want to convert only to 9mm, this guy can supply the super rare Wide Body magazines that have the Follower, Spring, and Spacer in the magazine; so you do not have to drill holes in your frame to mount a spacer in the mag well and stop using 7.62x25 size magazines because they will not fit anymore. He uses Wolf Springs in his magazines.
Contact him through the mail at,
TokTok, 3404 south Leslie Ave., Independence, Mo. 64055.
List a phone number where he can reach you, list a Time and Date for contact. Make sure the Date you list is ten days out from the day you issue your letter. Also note that he lives in Central Standard Time Zone.
TokTok knows everything about converting Tokarevs and even restores frames to original condition. Those sucky safeties and the holes in the frame vanish.
I would simply buy a Zastava M88, which is basically a "Tokarev Compact" in 9mm.
Built from the start as a 9, it has a few subtle changes such as a link-less barrel amd does away with the recoil spring plug, instead using a guide rod. Improvements in my opinion, I only wish they made a full size pistol. I love mine, they are a lot of gun for the money, I got mine for less than $300, and it's a nice little package and a accurate and reliable shooter.
Or seek out a used Norinco in 9mm, I have seen them all over gun shows recently. With all the poly guns coming out lots of people are unloading the "cheap" Norinco Toks in 9mm they bought back in the 90's as cheap shooters.
I had a conversion 9mm barrel for my 7.62 Tokarev, but it didn't eject right with the 9 barrel in, plus to avoid confusion I just sold the 9mm barrel on GunBroker. Since the gun was marked "7.62x25" on the slide, I was afraid of leaving the 9mm barrel in and forgetting months later, and popping some 7.62x25 into the mags and shooting it inadvertantly. I "caught" myself having to do a muzzle test with the 7.62x25 round to make sure I had the right barrel in one time, since externally both barrels looked the same, and it was hard to trust judging the size of the muzzle hole "by eye". I don't like "convertible" pistols or rifles, I prefer to have one complete gun dedicated to each caliber, rather than swapping barrels all the time. I want to just use a different pistol for each caliber, so if I want to shoot 9, I grab say my Glock 17 or CZ85, if I want to shoot 7.62x25 I grab my Tok or CZ-52. I don't want to have to pop in a barrel to suit what I feel like shooting.

Cementville, by Paulette Livers
Reviewer: Carol Germinario; age 60; retired nurse; Secaucus, New Jersey.
Carol's assessment As the residents of a small southern town brace for the burial of seven soldiers killed in Vietnam, a string of violent murders hits their streets, launching the community into emotional chaos. Some of my family members fought in Vietnam, so I know the heartbreaking side effects that war can inflict on its survivors and their loved ones. I think that Cementville could be any American town in 1969. The novel is a moving representation of the nation's psychological state in that time of turmoil.

Keira Knightley: Dinner Date in London
Treating herself to a lovely meal, Keira Knightley was spotted out and about in the SoHo district of London, England last night (April 4).
The "Pirates of the Caribbean" babe was joined by her boyfriend James Righton, and looked a bit boyish in some oversized clothes as she strolled out the exit.
Keira has noted that while many folks consider her to be very desirable, she doesn't relish showing off her body, as some of her contemporaries do.
She told press, "Do I sometimes feel incredibly shy about going out even in a bathing costume into a swimming pool? Yeah, actually, I do. I was on the beach the other day … with some friends. They were all totally fine taking everything off and I was sitting around in my jeans and a top. I kind of didn't want to take anything off."
Knightley added, "I've never seen myself as being attractive in that glamorous way. I'm incredibly self-conscious about the fact that I get bad skin."
Enjoy the pictures of Keira Knightley out on a romantic date night with her boyfriend (April 4).

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
Fungi are basically static. But they can spread either by forming reproductive spores that are carried on wind and rain (see the page Microbial Reproduction for more details) or by growing and extending their hyphae. Remember that hyphae are chains of fungal cells.
Hyphae grow as new cells form at the tips, creating ever longer and branching chains of cells. It takes a lot to stop them, too. Hyphae are tough enough to punch through plant cell walls and the hard exoskeletons of insects (see the Fire Ant Killer story in the News section for a photo of an ant killed by a fungus).

mobile home half electric outlets not working...please
I live in the mobile home which has fuse panel instead of a breaker box. A few days ago some of the outlets stop working and I checked the electronic items were still okay by plugging into other outlets and they still work as usual. Today now half of my electric outlets don't work however the things that was connected to them still works [I checked with the outlets that still works]. The mobile home gas heater/furnace also do not work any longer also.
I looked around my house to find any Resetting GFCI Outlet but their wasn't any.
So, now can someone please tell me how to fix this situation? My fuse panel looks like the pic below that I found online [except all 4 fuses are all orange and not blue]:
So, do I just replace all the orange fuses in the picture above or do I have to do something else also?
About my mobile home, it was just put in place about 2 years ago and was installed with new fuse [but I am not sure if that goes for all the fuses].
Got a meter to do some testing and know how to use it?
Sure sounds like you have lost one leg of your incoming power.
Power comes into that box as 220 volts and gets split to 110 volts on each side.
Pull one of those handles to remove the fuse holder to see if there blown.
It could also very well be your incoming power has an issue.
2. Sorry but what does fuse blown looks like since I never installed one in the first place since it was already installed for me.
I think it all happened because I had 2 portable heater on [1500 watts] from time to time, were using the hair dryer 3-5 minutes every 1 hour or so [because my hand gets cold some times], has the gas furnace on all the way to full, and other normal appliance [except no washing machine or dryer or oven]. But I am not entirely sure why it happened.
Look at the little round screw in fuses. Each one of them has a small metal bar inside the glass. If the fuse is blown, the metal bar will be "broken" and there may be some dark discoloration on the inside of the glass. That will be the blown fuse if it is one of the branch circuits. It is also posible that the main cartridge fuse is blown. They are located behind the pull out block just above the hand in the picture you posted. You will need a Volt/Ohn meter to test these.
By the questions you asked in your reply I would suggest you get someone qualified to work in that box to come and look things over. Messing around in an electric box if you are unsure of things is like doing your own open heart surgery. It just won't end well.
Also, If you do have a blown fuse as I suspect you do due to the heavy load those heaters put on the wiring, Do not replace them with higher rated fuses. Most likely they will need to be 15 amp fuses. Anything higher can cause a fire.
Sure looks like that home is already way under supplyed and will be a sure way to start a fire by using a space heater!
So far this year in my area we have had three mobil homes burn down, all from running space heaters.
okay I checked and see that two fuses were blown. So my question is now do I need to exchange it with the exact type and amp.
For example, the type I need to change are 20 AMP, Type D, S. Can I exchange it with 15 amp and different type and from different companies?
I replaced one fuse with same one and it works fine! So I just need another one and before I do that can I replace it with 25 amp. My manager told me it is fine in fact he is the one who gave me the 25 amp fuse.
So will it be okay to install the 25 amp with the other three fuse which are all 20 amp fuse?
Any older modil home I've ever seen used 14-2 wiring for outlet, that sized wire is rated for only 15 amp.
That would mean the wiring would be melted before the fuse blew.
I'd strongly suggest you have an on site real electriction look this over for you.
Why take the chance of burning down the house.
60 AMP 125-250v
So wasn't I already over 60 amp because previously I had, for more than a year, 4 20 amp installed?
I agree, an electrician or another reasonably qualified person really needs to come look at this, to determine what size fuses are needed. Most mobile homes I have seen require 15 amp fuses and have 14 gauge wiring; 20 amp fuses are only good for 12 gauge wiring. Also, DO NOT put in a 25 amp fuse, a branch circuit for appliances will not have a rating over 20 amps. :thumbsup:

Ester Maria is our privately owned villa situated in a quiet residential area of Puente Don Manuel surrounded by olive groves and mountains.There are 3 bedrooms, two en-suite, & one family bathroom. The well equipped kitchen comes with a large fridge/freezer, full size hob, eye level oven, dishwasher and marble worktops. A modern washing machine is located in the utility area.
All rooms have Aircon.
The large, well furnished lounge has UK satellite television, DVD/CD player, iPod docking station and bookcase with DVD library, local area maps, local guides showing beaches, villages, golf courses and a guide to local bars/restaurants.
The patio doors open on to the beautiful covered, south facing terrace where you can enjoy an al fresco meal at the dining table or sit on one of the sofas and enjoy the uninterrupted views while sipping on your sunset cocktail! Steps lead down from the terrace to the large private pool area where you will find sunbeds, chairs & brick BBQ.
Local Area: If you can drag yourself away from the peace & quiet of the beautiful terrace, the local amenities of Peunte Don Manuel are a short walk and include a variety of restaurants, bars and shops including a great Spanish Butchers,3 small supermarkets, and a mix of both Spanish and English style restaurants and bars. We are also within easy reach of several other lovely whitewashed villages such as Alcaucin, Periana and Los Romanes
The lovely bustling village of La Vinuela, is less than a 5 minute drive away and has a good supermarket, chemist, health centre, bank (with ATM), and a few bars and restaurants.
The nearest beach is Torre del Mar which is 15-20 minutes drive away with its beach restaurants, and 15 minutes drive is the main shopping mall and hypermarket at Velez Malaga, the principal town in the area. Also at Torre del Mar is the Aqua Velis Waterpark which is open during the summer months.
Malaga Airport is just 45 minutes away, Granada is about 1 hour and Nerja 25 minute.
The immediate area is also excellent for the more active holidaymaker. It's possible to visit the lake where you can enjoy trying your hand at windsurfing, canoeing or sailing. Alternatively, as the area is surrounded by a natural park, there are plenty of interesting and/or challenging cycling opportunities for the more energetic or walking for those who want to take things at a slower pace!
Obviously, on the Costa de Sol you will be spoilt for choice with 70 golf courses to choose from, but in the more immediate vicinity there are 2 very nice courses that can be played. These are Baviera and Anoreta Golf Courses, both being located approximately 20 minutes from the villa where you will find a full set of clubs available for your own use.
We had a great time. Universally our family voted it the best villa we have rented. That includes hard to please teenagers and an older aunt. So not a bad achievement.
Villa was great, loads of space, nice and clean, had everything you could need for a relaxing stay. Shops and bars just down the road. Great communication from the owners and their local chap Ben. If you are after a nice relaxing place to stay. It fills the criteria.
A very well appointed villa in a lovely hill village some 15 KM from the resort of Torres Del Mar. The villa is very well presented and has everything you could possibly need for an enjoyable holiday. There are plenty of restaurants in La Vinuela and surrounds, most of which serve good food at very modest prices. The view from the terrace is both beautiful and relaxing. The sun is on the property all day but there is shade to be had by the pool, if required. A super villa that the five of us who stayed there would recommend.
On entering is a small utility area with a washing machine so no need to over pack and space for storing booze and water. The kitchen is compact but plenty big enough with everything you need although a few extra pans would be nice and it is only separated from the sitting/dinning area by a counter so your not isolated if on kitchen duties. The sitting/dinning area is open and spacious with plenty of room for large parties. Both bedrooms are also very roomy with plenty of storage and both have good size bathrooms. Through the patio doors and your on what for us was the heart of the villa a large spacious area with both a dinning table and some lounging chairs the perfect place to eat drink and chat away the nights and enjoy the beautiful views.The beauty of this area is that it is covered so you get all the views all the heat and all the benefits of sitting outside without burning to a crisp especially when there is a nice breeze, it also has full length blinds so you can be totally private if you wish. Down some easy steps to the pool area with an excellent size pool and plenty of space for those that like to sun worship, naturally the pool was the focal point for the kids. There is also a very large downstairs room with its own bathroom so if there are two families or older children they can have their own space. You do need a car as without one your stuck. I recommend Malagcar.com very reasonably priced and easy to book before you go, they will also pick you up from the airport and drop you back although Mike next door does have a mini bus both him and his wife Lynn are great very friendly and helpful but not intrusive. The local area is lovely with everything you need plenty of bars and restaurants close by with an excellent butches and bakers. Vinuela is a mere 5 mins away and has a few more bars restaurants a small supermarket,bank, pharmacy and reassuringly a small hospital should the worst happen. Very close about 10k or 15min is Velez-Malaga that has everything you need lager supermarkets, tabbacs etc. as well as a big water park that the kids will love. Only 10mins further down the road is the lovely seaside town of Torre del Mar again with loads of supermarkets gift shops bars restaurants and a beautiful beach. There is also Nerja 40mins away and a host of other picturesque seaside and in land villages to explore. We were a family of ages 9 to 75 and all loved it will definitely book again an beautiful villa in a beautiful part of Spain
We rented this villa with our grown up children for a week and then friends arrived. For both parties it has everything, pool, great facilities, BBQ, bar down the road, satellite TV and air con which is a must in July. Spotlessly clean and good quality furniture and white goods. The pool is the best feature, large enough for those who want to swim and those who want to play.
This is a lovely villa with wonderful views . It is a short walk downhill to a few bars and restaurants. Any issues or questions we had were sorted out quickly by Mick who lives next door.
We stayed for almost two weeks with a 6 month old and a 2 1/2 year old and had an absolutely excellent stay. The villa was in perfect condition - complete with games for the children, DVDs, CDs, TV etc. It was spotless, had supplies in the fridge and cupboards including beer, wine and a variety of groceries (which were really helpful as we arrived on a sunday afternoon and all shops were closed). The pool was glorious and our son cured his fear of water and enjoyed the pool every day. We spent the evenings with a glass of wine on the terrace with a beautiful view of the mountains, and spent the days between the pool and the nearby beach.
The owners left an overview of local restaurants and shops and general amenities which was really helpful and we had a superb meal on our last evening in a nearby hotel by the lake (which I would heartily recommend). There is a small selection of local taverns and small shops that are easily walkable, but we found ourselves drawn to the terrace most evenings as it was so tranquil and so relaxing.
In terms of the "logistics" picking up keys, minor questions about the area and so forth were welcomed by the neighbours who happily assisted in any requests and really made us feel as though nothing would be too much to ask - even offering to babysit, and give us lifts to local areas / pick up from the airport.
We had a wonderful stay and thoroughly recommend it. The location and facilities of this fabulous villa really are perfect.
Rich and Loraine
Golf: There are two very nice golf courses within 25 minutes drive, Baviera and Anoreta.
Very nicely kept, lots of water and ravines on course and good clubhouse facilities.

A solid grid graph is a finite induced subgraph of the infinite grid that has no holes. We present a polynomial algorithm for computing the minimum number of edges we need to delete in order to divide a given solid grid graph into two parts containing an equal number of nodes. The algorithm is based on dynamic programming, and it extends to several related problems, including grid graphs with a bounded number of holes.

Let them eat cake at Gulag city birthday party
By Robin Paxton
MAGADAN, Russia (Reuters) - Yelena Zyuzka still doesn't understand why she was exiled to Magadan, but 62 years later she would happily share the enormous cake baked to celebrate the city's birthday.
The cream-filled slices were served up for the crowds that gathered in July to watch street performers, open-air concerts and a midnight firework display to mark the 70th year of Magadan, a city in Russia's Far East that was gateway to the most feared Gulags set up by Soviet leader Josef Stalin.
Too frail to walk on her own to the street party, the 85-year old shows cupboards stacked with biscuits, meat and vegetables. She is one of the few remaining survivors who chose to remain after the Gulags closed.
There was certainly no celebration by the first wave of settlers.
"Oh! How my mother cried when they came," said Zyuzka of the day when, aged 23 and living in Ukraine, she was taken to serve her sentence of 10 years' exile.
Stalin needed labor to unearth the abundant gold reserves in this region more than 6,000 km (3,750 miles) northeast of Moscow. For two decades, he sent hundreds of thousands of prisoners to his most feared Gulags.
Magadan today exists on its gold mines, fishing and trade in the goods that arrive across the Sea of Okhotsk from ports further south. Most of the cars on its sloping streets are made in Japan.
The spare room of the apartment where Zyuzka has lived since 1961 is decorated with wallpaper depicting Dumbo, Disney's flying elephant, just in case her great-grandson comes back to stay. Only three, he now lives on the Pacific island of Sakhalin. Continued...

Mika answered on 11/15/12. Helpful? / 0
How big is your dog? My nephew had a Maltese and I believe they are generally less than 5 pounds. My sister had a Westie and I have a Volpino Italiano which is incredibly similar to an American Eskimo and on all breeds, the ears usually stick up straighter than what is shown in the picture of your dog. It could be a terrier, as there are many kinds of terriers, Westie being one. With there being so many breeds and you not knowing the background, it could be difficult to ever know exactly what your little guy is. Either way, he is a cutie and is all yours to enjoy!

Eastern New Mexico University Singers to present concert at South Plains College
LEVELLAND – The Eastern New Mexico University (ENMU) Department of Music will present a showcase recital of 11 of its finest singers at 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 31 (Thursday) in the Vickie Wilks Wisian Recital Hall at South Plains College.
Members of the SPC community and general public are welcome to attend.
The program will include a performance by Swanee Singers, a select group of ENMU music majors who sing in varied styles including vocal jazz, blues and popular music. They will perform "Take the A Train," "Fascinatin' Rhythm," "What a Wonderful World," "That Lonesome Road" and three other familiar tunes.
The ensemble is under the direction of Dr. Jason Paulk, ENMU Director of Choral Activities, and will be accompanied by Kayla Paulk, ENMU Instructor of Music, Vocal Coach and Accompanist.
Interspersed between these popular ensemble arrangements will be arias and art songs, sung by three senior voice majors at ENMU – Nicole (Keeling) Flores, graduate of SPC and daughter of Dr. Bruce and Nancy Keeling; Audra Methvin, graduate of SPC; and Kelly Vigil of Albuquerque, N.M. Each singer will sing two pieces from their senior voice recitals, which were given in the fall 2012 semester. Mrs. Paulk will accompany the soloists.
For more information and/or questions about the performance, please contact Mrs. Paulk at (575) 562-2571.

Book Talk: Susan Choi returns to probe love, youthful selfishness
By Suzanne Barlyn
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Author Susan Choi in her latest book starts with a graduate student's fascination with a professor when she arrives at a prestigious university in 1992. But the initial attraction is where similarities between "My Education" and usual tales of college love end.
The award-winning writer, in her fourth novel, sends student Regina Gottlieb on a journey in which she indulges her fascination with Professor Nicholas Brodeur, before it goes in another direction. Through it all, her youthful self-absorption plays a central role.
Choi won the Asian-American Literary Award for fiction for her first novel, "The Foreign Student." Her second novel, "American Woman," was a finalist for the 2004 Pulitzer Prize, and her third, "A Person of Interest," was up for the 2009 PEN/Faulkner Award.
The author, who teaches at Princeton University, spoke to Reuters about "My Education" and her writing process.
Q: There are a lot of tales about students who are drawn to professors. How did you make your version different?
A: Obviously, the fact that Regina doesn't end up with that professor at all. I don't often do a lot of advance planning in terms of plot. So, I didn't try to incorporate a twist. It's more that I sort of knew what the story was about and tried to find my way in. But (Professor Brodeur) is the engine of the story in that meeting him is the key to everything that follows, but not in the way that readers would expect.
Q: What other techniques do you use in your writing process?
A: What's become most characteristic in recent years, I think, is the dogged pursuit of momentum. Ever since having kids (now ages 9 and 5-1/2), I became a much more - I don't know - almost a more mechanical writer. I realized that I couldn't spend a lot of time waiting for inspiration. I had to sit down every day and try to bang out a certain number of words. Continued...

Tillies recomendation is the best cure for the bearding problem.
JMN could I recommend you using a different avatar? Brian uses that avatar as well, and I thought you were Brian. :roll:
The hole is about an inch in diameter. They are free to come and go. However, I take a metal plate, and put it on a swivel above the hole so I can close it during the winter, open it during the summer, or if the hive is getting robbed a lot. But since about 3 or 4 years of using a hole on every other super I have, it has increased my production of honey by about 50%.
Shizzel, I am trying to find something to replace the avatar. however this one fits me to a T, except for the mustage and the hat. :-D (I am going to change it).Joseph

April fool?
UK readers with a sense of humour might like to have a quick look at the article by Haden Boardman in the April 2013 Hi-Fi World. It purports to improve the phase splitter in certain old Leak amplifiers by replacing the ECC81/83 PS with an ECC82. This is said to reduce the gain (true) and improve the driving capabilities (unlikely). Of course, we all know that an ECC82 can drive more than an ECC83 - but only when it is properly biased.
The proposed 'enhancement' is a standard LTP phase splitter, with AC coupling and both grids grounded for DC (via 1M). One grid AC grounded, the other gets the signal from the input stage. Tail resistor is 22K, anode resistors are 100K each. That means each triode is biased almost to cutoff, with perhaps 0.4mA of anode current each. Would you run an ECC82 with, effectively, a 44K cathode bias resistor? (A typical ECC83 LTP PS runs with about 0.6mA each, but that valve is designed to be fairly linear at such low currents). It is just off the edge of the datasheet plots, but I estimate gm around 0.3mA/V and Ra about 45K. Voltage gain to each anode will be about x5. I dread to think what the distortion might be. Perhaps it is just as well that a pair of EL84s are easy to drive.
So, have I spotted the April spoof article? Or is it an entry for 'how can someone that confused get asked to write an article'? What do others think?

I think it is just the typical bad advice of a journalist who has no clue..

I can only agree, but here we are in February 2013, as they do to find out so soon ?
The Sun ?
What happened to Noel Keywood, Andy Grove...?
Some years without buying the magazine and this whole head over heels ?

Hi-Fi World is not what it was. The DIY Supplements are way back in history (although I have many of them), and HFW now seems to love reviewing expensive cables.
I don't recall any measurements in the article - I didn't actually buy the magazine, just thumb through it in a shop. A few DC voltages might have alerted the author (and wise readers) to potential problems.
The author does not just write articles. Google tells me he also offers to 'upgrade' valve amps. Why do so many audio 'professionals' (i.e. people who make money from audio) not understand the basics? What is more, why do so many of them seem happy to advertise this in public? There are lots of things I don't know anything about, so I don't write articles about them.

It is a pity, I liked it a lot.
Great measuring instruments, technicians and journalists.
Each "interview" was accompanied by corresponding measurements.
My favorite section was the "D.I.Y. Supplement", of course.
I stop buying it because my budget does not allow me, but I have no regrets, here in the forum, we have all of you, that are better.

The internet has replaced paper periodicals. The whole world can "peer review" and we don't have to be spoon fed propaganda and advertising masked as journalism any more. Have you seen how thin Time Magazine is now?
The 1st few amp-related technically-oriented articles in Vintage Guitar Magazine contained so many errors I actually emailed them. I counted 6 errors in the 1st one. It was an interview with an alleged guru. I think part 2 had 4 errors.
They did a "shootout" article of various 6v6 tubes and I looked forward to seeing at least one objective measurement to be reported. Perhaps a frequency response curve, but that was just wishful thinking. Instead they reported stupid meaningless jargon. Seeing the pics was cool at least.

don't get me started - I like to look at the current hi-fi magazines in the local store but only for the pictures (funny how some things don't change!) because the drivel that comes out of most hi-fi reviewers is astounding. It could perhaps be an unrecognized literary art form in itself. Would I trust any kind of technical description in these magazines ?

Just re-checked the article. No measurements, as I said. However, I noticed that for those who feel incapable of carrying out this 'upgrade' themselves the author kindly offers to do it for them and says he has done it for lots of people. He doesn't mention a charge, but I guess if it is high enough nobody will complain.
