I bought this for my daughter after she had elbow surgery to cover her scar in the sun. She wore it for hours at a time in the water and it didn't come off. Has been washed and dried several times and still holds its shape.

The quality of construction is great, and the material is thick (It's actually sewn as a torus, picture a fabric donut), but it's almost too tight a fit on my petite arms. I have to position it carefully to avoid long term discomfort. When worn around the elbows, as seen in the picture, it just fits, without any wiggle room. Does it stay put? Yes. Does it function as a sweat band? Yes.By petite arms, I primarily mean that my arms are short in length and proportioned differently than the arms of a taller person (I am 5'2), not that my arms are scrawny. 4 of length is a more significant portion of my arm than it would be for most men and women. I have sizing problems that average height adults don't have.

I was hoping I could maybe get some answers here. For starters: I have an 02 wrx with 68xxx miles, completely stock.
My AC will work for about 2-3 mins, then go hot. I injected a 19 oz bottle of freon (spelling?) in, and it worked for 5 mins, then went hot again. The compressor seems to start and stop, when it tries to start again it appears to be rough, but someone has said that there could be a leak which is why the compressor is acting funny. Any ideas? Anything I can look for?
I have a warranty which says AC is covered. I just wanted to know what the possible problem is so I don't seem like an idiot when I take it to the dealer. Thanks in advance for replies.

Thanks for posting on a relatively overlooked chapter in German firearms history.
Hello all! I had been, for multiple years, on another forum, researching and posting the results of said research on the Geha, Remo, and Hard Hit Heart converted Mauser '98 shotguns. All I request is that you read this research before deeming the guns to be junk. Perhaps it will change a few minds, anyway. I'll post it like a timeline.
First draft of Geha/Remo/Hard Hit Heart essay posted 10/29/06 (sorry I didn't do a bibliography...if you'd like to know my sources, I'll gladly state them)...
I now have some limited additional information as to the GEHA manufacturers, as well as pictures!
First, the info. It seems the GEHA was not discontinued as early as I'd believed. An additional manufacturer, Rheinmetall, has also turned up in a Stoeger sales brochure. Rheinmetall manufactured the GEHA late in its production run. The sales brochure is from 1937, and I've found information indicating that production ceased in 1938 (the Stoeger sales brochure does NOT feature the GEHA as being produced that year). I will rexeamine each of the companies that built GEHA's, too, and try and see if I can find any information indicating if they ceased manufacture/conversion later than I'd figured.
Another interesting thing I've observed on all GEHA's (although this does NOT apply to Remo shotguns...I've also been unable to examine the Hard Hit Heart shotguns as to this) is that they feature Spandau subcontracted Gewehr 98 receivers. All of them. Either Siemens & Halske or Pieper of Liege. I have no idea why this is, although if I had to merely guess, these receivers might have been cheaper to buy based on the fact they were subcontracted.
Now, for the pictures (thanks for letting me borrow the gun, Rob!)...
Above is the GEHA 12 Gauge shotgun. Note the military Gewehr 98 stock and intact rear sling swivel stud. Also the enlarged triggerguard made to accomodate the new trigger.
Here, we see the GEHA's barreled action. Note the professionally bent bolt and the top of the safety being filed flat (what I mean when I say "filed safety").
The GEHA's bolthead is of unique, springloaded design. Here it is resting in the middle of the barreled action.
Here's a side view of the detached bolthead.
The bolt, sans bolthead, front view. Note the unique modifications made to the existing Gewehr 98 bolt.
Here's the trigger. Note that the GEHA does NOT utilize a military, two-stage trigger. Instead, it features a single-stage shotgun trigger.
This is the shell deflector/receiver strengthener. As you can see, it's held on by two screws. Also note the manufacturer-applied mark "Germany."
The Geha's magazine assembly.
Here's the receiver subcontractor marking on the bottom of the receiver. This one's Pieper of Liege. Note the matching numbers.
The sighting plane. This notch cut in the receiver allows the front bead to be seen.
The stock medallion. This is what makes the GEHA a GEHA.
The serial number on the forend. Note that it matches all other GEHA parts. Although just a pet theory right now, I'm wondering if these were the original Gewehr 98 serial numbers and the companies doing the converting just added onto them.
Here's my Hard Hit Heart, a variant of the Geha I managed to get my hands on this summer.
Unlike the Geha, the Hard Hit Heart featured a finished stock and had the metal refinished (The Geha's receiver was refinished, but other parts were as they were on the Gewehr 98). However, mine is an extreme oddity in that it's choked improved modified. I've examined the barrel to the best of my abilities and have concluded it's original. The full and cylinder chokes must also be joined by the imp. mod. I've found out a little about the "Triple H," but not that much. It seems to have been imported by the Crescent Firearms Company, for one. For another, the proofs present are much later than the Geha's typical early Weimar proofs. Lastly, the gun is manufactured on one of the Spandau subcontract receivers (Pieper of Liege in this case) like a Geha. I'd place remanufacture around 1934-1936. Incidentally, I also purchased a 12 Gauge Remo shotgun and that earlier gun should provide some insight into just how the Geha and Hard Hit Heart were developed. I also believe I've found a manufacturer for the HHH in Geco (mark on the buttplate). Was Geco was the only manufacturer of the HHH? I don't know. The HHH is by far the toughest of the trio of Mauser Two-Shot Shotguns to find anything about. What little there is is grouped with the Geha.
Okay, my Remo arrived at the gunshop and I went and brought it home. As with every other Remo, taking the stock off reveals no subcontractor mark. The gun is fully choked and probably chambered for 2 9/16" shells despite being a 12 Gauge (the Germans standardized shotshell length a while after we did...I find it easier just to shoot 2 1/2" shells rather than go through the hassle of having my chamber length checked out). This is where a LOT of the "Geha=dangerous" myth comes from. I've seen Auto-5's effectively destroyed by shooting 2 3/4" shells in a 2 9/16" gun, and they're the strongest semiauto I've ever seen not counting some of the recent Italian guns. Anyway, back to the Remo.
I was absolutely amazed by the workmanship put into this gun. Everything was hand-done. The checkering, the stock carving, the sighting plane, the bolt that was so caringly and artfully bent; just everything. It then occured to me that Remo-Gewehrfabrik's original intention had nothing to do with saving the German arms industry (though in effect, their design allowed it). Time and again, German gun designers would build what could be best called contraptions and they still caught on. One of the most famous of these contraptions is of course the drilling (and the slightly less famous vierling...why stop at three barrels?). On the Gewehr 88 forum, a company marketing a workable Gewehr 88/break-action shotgun combination can also be seen in all its Rube Goldbergesque splendor. They built this gun because THEY COULD.
With so many Gewehr 98 actions available after the Great War, someone at Remo (who did make guild sporting rifles as well as better-known components for Zeiss Optics) got the idea of making another gun like that '88 combo...another whacky idea that was incredibly efficient but also really seemed to lack a target market: a luxury quality bolt-action shotgun. The earliest Remos (not mine) were engraved out the wazoo and cost as much any high-end guild sporter. But even Remo realized that was probably just a tad over the top, and they started making middle of the line shotguns...which is what I have. One of their slightly later, middle of the road guns. It has some interesting features not seen on the Geha.
The first, and this is also the most interesting, is an emergency locking lug placed directly below the bolt release. Several other German break-action guns at the time featured similar "emergency locks" good enough to hold a ruined gun together for maybe one shot. It also has more than one purpose...it contains the overly complex ejector assembly, too. That in turn is tightly sprung against the bolt and makes follow-up shots quicker. The Remo's bolthead is held in place with a flat-head screw as well as a spring. These two features make the quick follow-up shots that are impossible with a Geha to be as easy as one can work the bolt with the Remo.
Another "improvement" over the Geha that also probably took too much time to make was the magazine follower. Unlike the flat follower found in a Geha, it's concave to conform to a shotgun shell, resulting in (I guess) quicker lock-up. In theory. In practice, the difference is probably very little. Another feature of the magazine that seems positively useless is a small, brass nut holding the rear half of the magazine spring in place. Yes, the spring goes down pretty cleanly, but a good number of Remos are actually missing this doohickey and still work fine. Oh, yes, and it also makes the gun impossible to remove from the stock without undoing the nut. But since's it's brass, I'm sure a lot of people accidentally forgot and when they took off their stocks, yanked 'em off, and stripped the nut.
I've basically come to the conclusion that the Geha and Hard Hit Heart people deserve a lot more credit than is given for their marketing strategy. Sell these Remos without all the bells and whistles to the Americans; they'll buy it, and besides, it works. Though Remo profitted off licensing their gun design to the various Geha firms and whoever made the Hard Hit Heart (both of which sold far more than Remo), they aimed their product at the wrong market and paid for it in sales. That said, it's a really nice gun. Just kinda odd.
That's what I have so far. I'm trying to obtain a late 1920's Gebrueder Rempt catalogue, or at least a reprint thereof, to gain more information about the Remo.

Thanks for posting on a relatively overlooked chapter in German firearms history.
No problem!
I'd actually like to publish this information eventually, but feel that I don't really have QUITE enough information pertaining to manufacturers, the more obscure variants, the Hard Hit Heart, and also what "Geha" means (I'd believed it was an acronym until recently...hence "GEHA" in earlier posts...but recent information and looking at some of the earliest Gehas would indicate it might not be; it may merely have been a trade name agreed upon for unknown reasons by the various firms making it). Another bit of info that I've uncovered is that there are two medallion variants on the Geha...a metal medallion and a wooden one. I'm not sure which came first (I've only examined ONE Geha in person with the wooden medallions and overlooked the proofs), though the Hard Hit Heart (which WAS known to be made during the mid-1930's) also used wooden medallions. Perhaps the metal version came earlier? However, the lowest serial number on a Geha I've ever seen (643) had a wood medallion. But then again, Geha serial numbers seem to be merely Gewehr 98 serial numbers with some extra numbers stamped on. I'd literally have to see multiple catalogues and/or receipts of purchase to see which material came first. However, I DO know the wooden one is less common.

Hey, thanks for the sticky! I'll soon be getting a Remo catalogue, so this thing won't just stay here and have no activity.
"On the bottom of the receiver ring is a marking - an H tilted enclosed by a partial ring. Also a U."
That's the less common of the two receiver variants...it's actually an "SH," and stands for "Siemens & Halske" (one of the two subcontractors for Spandau Gewehr 98 receivers that show up on Geha's).
"I have a GHEA action minus the safety, firing pin, bolt head."
A Gewehr 98 safety and firing pin should work in their place. The bolthead is the tough part to get, though IIRC, Springfield Sporters has some.
You have helped with my research and I appreciate this a great deal...your serial number has been recorded as a matter of record simply so I can differentiate your gun (in this case, action minus barrel) from the others I've kept details on. If you wish, I will not add the last digit of the serial number; I have some recorded with, some without.
I finally secured a 1932 Remo catalogue reprint and I finally have some solid material as opposed to piecing together a hypothetical timeline based on anecdotal evidence, proofmarks, and sometimes dead reckoning. I'm not sure when Remo produced it (prior to 1932), but their shotgun action was NOT originally Mauser 98-based. Instead, it was a totally original design that relied on an underlug and the bolt handle itself to lock up. I don't know why they switched, but I've stumbled across just one of these early Remos (marketed in the US as the "Remo-Popular," which I will henceforth refer to it as). Without removing the wood/until I physically get the gun, there's no telling when it was made. But I do think I know WHY more of this design weren't produced.
Imagine living in Germany circa 1930 (or, considering post-WWI Germany, any time between 1919 and when the Nazis took over). Your money is worth as much as toilet paper and you might as well use bundles of it to give to your kids to build castles with in lieu of wooden building blocks. The little gold or silver money you do have is saved for important things, like food. Think then how much money you could save by finding a safe way of converting wartime Mauser '98 actions that already exist into shotguns as opposed to forging a new receiver and building a new action. It is now my belief that THIS spawned the familiar, 98-based Remo.
Interestingly, the Remo catalogue features drawings of the original Remo-Popular style shotgun, NOT the Gewehr 98-based model that we're familiar with. The drawings could be old (and that's my theory; you'll why see below), but we can't ignore the possibility they were producing this action all the way up through 1932.
However, the advertisement in the Remo catalogue states a production figure of "100,000 Remo Repeating Shotguns" being sold. I've seen enough Remos to convince me that this is entirely possible if they started making them in 1919, but have only seen ONE non-98-based gun. In this catalogue, the garden-variety Remo is also finally given a name: The Remo Repeating Shotgun Number 126 (from here on out, the basic Remo is the Remo 126). But just when you thought I was getting interesting (or more likely boring), there was also somewhat of a revelation in this catalogue: starting in 1932, Remo made Gehas (the huge lettering "NEU! NEU!" kinda gave it away as being first year production...).
Why so odd you ask, since both guns are so intrinsically similar? Because before and after 1932, it seemed every arms maker in Germany had churned out Gehas. Geco, Rheinmetall, Simson, and even F.W. Heym were documented as Geha makers prior to 1932. The obvious thing then would be to assume that Remo (who technically patented the action) finally said enough was enough and bought up the Geha trade name. But in a 1939 Stoeger brochure, we again see Rheinmetall listed as a manufacturer of the Geha, and Geco was documented as making Gehas well into the mid 1930's. Sort of. No one mentions the Geha by name until the Stoeger brochure (by which time Remo-Gewehrfabrik was experiencing serious financial problems). Could it be that these companies retaliated to Remo by making the Hard Hit Heart (a 100% clone of the Geha with a better-finished stock), which perhaps not coincidentally surfaces around 1932-1933? Just a theory and I've nothing to back it up, but it makes more sense than anything else I've tried to think of.
Oh, and Remo also says we all got it wrong with regards to the Geha's magazine capacity. All the so-called "people in the know" from Frank de Haas to Pete Dickey to yours truly thought the Geha was a 1+1. But it wasn't. It was meant to hold just one shell in the magazine. The Remo catalogue expressly states to load just one shell. I think this does a good job of explaining so many boltheads popping off (Remember, the Remo 126's bolthead is screwed in.). The design drawing of the Geha in the catalog looks like an early Geha (had a forward sling swivel), but has a Remo-Popular style action in place of the familiar '98 action. Considering no Geha exists with this type of action, I'm forced to conclude that they took some artistic liberties. Remo ironically marketed the Geha as a low-budget alternative to the Remo 126. Taken directly from the catalogue [translated from German]: "The GEHA is the economy model of the classic REMO Repeating Shotgun." To sidetrack us for a moment, I find it interesting that Remo capitalized all four letters in the word "GEHA." Perhaps this contributed to the fallacy that it was an acronym? Anyway, getting back to the subject at hand, Remo also gave the Geha a Remo model designation; it was now the Remo Number 127 Single-Shot Shotgun.
However, what's really fascinating are the other two models that I've never seen: the Number 128 Repeater and Number 129 Single-shot. The Number 128 Repeater is described both as "a Number 126 with a compass inletted into the stock" and "new for 1932." The compass, due to Remo's closeness to Zeiss Optics, is expressly stated as being a Zeiss. Due to the sheer novelty of this gun, I love it. However, due to the sheer impracticality, I doubt it was ever made. The Number 129 is a different story. I have documented two of them (I think), but have never physically seen a whole gun. This gun is advertised as a single shot (think a Geha), but with four custom barrel lengths: 30", 32", 36", and 38" (!!!). I've seen two 32" Geha barrels for sale and one person taking my survery did indeed have a Geha with a 32" barrel (no digital camera, alas). Considering Remo either made few or no Number 128 "compass guns," perhaps they didn't make too many long-barreled Gehas, either. Also consider that Remo production seems to oddly drop off past 1932. As I sit here and type, I'm also playing devil's advocate with myself: maybe I have the order wrong...maybe Remo made its '98 action shotguns from 1919-1932, then figured they had enough cash to release their new action. It tanked and so did they, thus allowing the trade name "Geha" to once again become available. It can't be ignored as a theory, though due to the Geha never being available with the Remo-Popular action, I do think it takes second fiddle. Whew.
So, to briefly recap, here are my new theories on the types of guns and who made them. If possible, a time period is given after them...
-Remo-Popular Repeating Shotgun (Made by Remo-Gewehrfabrik, 1919-???)
-"Guild Remo" 126 Repeating Shotgun (Made by Remo-Gewehrfabrik, 1920-1925)
-Remo 126 Repeating Shotgun (Made by Remo-Gewehrfabrik, 1925-1933???)
-Geha Single-Shot Shotgun (Made by companies including but not limited to Remo-Gewehrfabrik [1932-???], Gustav Genschow/Geco [1926-1939 with possible interruption], Rheinmetall [1926-1939 with possible interruption], Waffenfabrik Simson [1920's], and F.W. Heym [???])
-Hard Hit Heart Single-Shot Shotgun (Made by companies including but not limited to Gustav Genschow/Geco [1933-1939???] and Rheinmetall [1933-1939???])
-"Remo Economy Model" 126 Repeating Shotgun (Made by Remo-Gewehrfabrik, 1930??-1932)
-Remo Number 128 Repeating Shotgun (Made by Remo-Gewehrfabrik, 1932???)
-Remo Number 129 Single-Shot Shotgun (Made by Remo-Gewehrfabrik, 1932-???)
This is a catalogue picture of the Remo 128 "Compass Gun" (mislabelled as the Remo 126) and below it a likely-improvised drawing of the Geha (new to the Remo product line in 1932).
Hello, I have owned a 16 ga. Geha for over 25 years now, given to me from my grandfather when I was a kid. I've never vested much interest in finding out much manufactural history until recently and very much appreciate your research and availability. The only information that I have on my Geha is from my grandfather who received it from his brother who had taken it off of a German guard soldier. I would like to match numbers and markings if there is a database or an info bank that is available, & if I can obatain more details from my family history I will be sure to post any new information.
Thank you again for the research that you have posted, as it has been most helpful and informative.
Just found this sticky, so pulled out the Remo I've had for about 15 years. On the reciever left is the following:
Remo Cal 12
(bird) (crown) 1702
Nitro W MADE IN GERMANY
On the reciever right is Germany
At the bottom of the barrel is a mounted knight mark. There is a spring under the left reciever rail retained by a screw under the reciever ring. The other end is held by a flat tab spring. The long one rises into the bolt release, which doesn't let the bolt out of the reciever. The sear is stamped with a three leaf clover. All numbers match except the extractor ring, which is # 9514. The barrel is 25 1/4", measured inside the barrel to the closed bolt. The follower is retained in it's position by a stud in the rear of the mag. well. The stock is a rather nice Walnut with a slight schnabel tip, and fine checkered pistol grip. The left side of the stock has the number 781 1 inch down from the comb, 2 inched forward of the butt. The butt plate is marked at the toe GERMANY. A tear drop point wraps around the heel to the comb.
I have not fired it. Hope this is at least interesting.
Marrage doesn't just happen, you have to get out there and expose yourself to it, you know, like chicken pox.
Hey, sorry I was away. I'll address both responses. First response...
"The only information that I have on my Geha is from my grandfather who received it from his brother who had taken it off of a German guard soldier."
Are you sure? The only way I can imagine that being true is if he was Volkssturm (distinguished by a muted tunic, armband with rank, and black felt or black wool cap), since they had no standard weapons. Heck, some literally armed themselves with pitchforks. Capture papers would make your gun worth far more than it is now. Check for swastikas on the receiver...even a lot of (though definitely not all) Volkssturm weapons feature Waffenamt markings of some kind.
Windage, what you have is a Remo 126 Repeating Shotgun. The barrel sounds a little short, but it also sounds otherwise original (the marking "Germany" being stamped on the buttplate is typically found on later guns). It'd almost certainly be safe to shoot with Polywad 2 1/2" 12 Gauge ammunition (www.polywad.com), though I'd have a gunsmith look at it if you don't know who shot it before you.
Both guns have been noted and recorded on my survey list.
I have a Remo-Popular that Harry Lindquist brought home from the war. The wood is in bad shape and it is missing it's entire bolt mechanism. The lettering on the top is SRPa. The number 3119 with two hallmarks after it, and is also reprinted (3119) under the name Remo-Popular and Made In Germany. I'm looking for the bolt mechanism and/or any info you guys can give me. Thanks. -DW

I'd need photographs of the receiver area and barrel underneath the wood. This is where you will find the gun's proofmarks with regards to when it was made and should shed some light on whether or not it predated the standard Remo Nr. 126. "SRPa"...you sure that's an "S" and not a "D" (they're right next to each other on the QWERTY keyboard)? "DRPa" is a German "Patent Pending" mark.
As for the bolt, I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but your Remo-Popular is a VERY, VERY tough gun to find. I would go so far as to call it rare (albeit not especially valuable). Finding a bolt is like looking for a needle in a haystack. As for info, read my post entitled "Big, Important Update" for the little info I have on the R-P.
I'd also like pictures of the gun with the wood on, receiver area, any wood marks...but anything under the wood takes priority.
I have a Remo Popular 12 ga.with a low 3 digit serial #. If you would like numbers or markings from it let me know. Any info about it would be interesting.
I recently purchased a hard het heart 20ga at a local estate sale. I was told it was a fairly tough gun to find. It is in almost perfect condition. Can anyone give me an idea on how much to insure it for? It has the heart and the hard hit heart on the stock.Thanks, Mike

I think I have a REMO...it came to Me via My Dad....and to Him from a vet of the Philippine Campaign...I got it and a LOOOOONG tale...
the gun came back as a bring-back from the Philippines...it was real nice and complete...the feller that brought it back was a man of small statue...and he complained that it kicked baddly... some time inb the late 40's he shot it and the recoil caused Him to fall..and in doing so broke the stock at the wrist...He repaired it crudely with two pieces of brass, some screws..and wrapped the break with baling wire...Apparently the kick was bad enuff he never shot the thing again...and Mt Dad ended up with the gun...I don't know the whole trade...
Later My Dad took a job at the now defunct Brookley AFB in Mobile Alabama...and He and Mom bought a place about 20 miles south of the base....He had a "hobby" farm...raised cows and chickens built a barn crib hen house...etc...The old Mauser shotgun became our varmint gun...Dad bought what he called "high-brass" shells for it...#4's and # 8's...and we shot lotsa of varmints with the old Remo...until the repaired stock simply gave up..
Then...My Granfather was called upon to re-stock the old 2-shot...and he made a real mess of the inlettling......gun stayed in limbo for an aweful long time...then I asked a friend to see if he could fix it with glass-bedding...that didn't work out well either..again the bolt-gun is laid away...in 2001 I returned to Mississippi and brought the REMO back with me...a Donor Mauser stok and a real good friend that is a stock maker has got the REMO on the road to recovery..it will work now and feed as it should.....NOW the kicker....the reason the old girl kicked us all so baddly is the fact we were feeding her 2 3/4" shells...hi-power ones at that...and she is chambered 2 9/16"...I guess it has been "proofed"...
Haven't loaded any short shells for her....and can't decide whether or nott I want to lengthen the chamber..I don't ever plan to shoot her with 2 3/4" shells again, tho...
So much for what Folks are inclined to say about REMO's being weak...its a LOT of whooey..
if any one is intrested I'll dig her out and copy down all the markings...
the orignal stock had a VERY slim wrist...it was checkered on the grip and on the foreend...no engraving of the metal work, however...it had the "cheeks" at the side of the action...the schnaubel(sp?) fore-end...and had finger-groves in the fore-end as well...the orignal stock was FINE grade walnut...too badd its gone...

does this gun look like a Remo to you? Most stocks that I had seen, seemed to be military sporterized, but this one isn't:
Thanks, Carcano
Mr Dalko,
I appreciate the history on the Remo ll shotgun. Unfortunately I have seen no reference to the Remo l. All the pictures posted and history relate to the Remo ll. Is there a source for information on this particular shotgun?
after I posted some Remo relating info in this thread:
I found this thread here. I guess, the info provided in the other thread will be interesting also here.
1/ Gebrüder Rempt (Remo)
Rempt owned two patents:
A/ German patent #328446, which was filed September 19, 1919 in German Patent Office and was granted in 1920.
Consequently, you will not find a Remo shot gun made before September 1919.
B/ Rempt also had a second German patent # 443437 (the US version of it is enclosed), which was filed in German patent office on December 31, 1924 and which was for a different repeating shot gun, namely the âPopulärâ (Popular). Remptâs Populär was offered in the 1927 Geco catalog for 55 Reichsmarks. The Gew. 98 conversion wasnât offered in said catalog.
2/ Geha
Interestingly, I found a German patent # 337013, which was filed August 11, 1920 in German Patent Office and was granted in 1921. Owner of said patent was a Emil Hengelhaupt in Erfurt. It seems to me, that the bolthead in the patent is exactly like the bolthead on Gehas.
Hello. This is Dalko110...back after a long hiatus and a move. Sauerfan, you've gotten some incredible information there and I can't thank you enough. One of the reasons I was never able to turn the research I'd done into a book (which is ultimately what I wanted to do) was that I'd only found second-hand and third-hand sources...never the real thing. Only anecdotal evidence. What you've found aids me so immensely and corrects many of the blunders I'd made not only in listening to information that turned out to be bogus, but also the assumptions I'd made that turned out to have bad conclusions. Do I have your permission to repost this material in my thread over at the Parallax Forums?
Carcano, to first answer your question, I've never seen one like that. The bolt handle and stock are unfamiliar to me.
russS, to answer your question, there isn't quite such a thing as a Remo I. A Remo II is a Remo 16 Gauge. A Remo (no I or II) is a 12 Gauge.
"So much for what Folks are inclined to say about REMO's being weak...its a LOT of whooey.."
So long as you have a bolthead in there, you should be fine.
Thank you! I'll transfer said info a little later tonight!
Good read, I wondered about my gun for a long time not knowing exactly what it is. Did a search and came to this thread. My grandfather won my HHH 16 ga in a poker game in the mid 60's and gave it to my uncle, who gave it to me. My grandfather was a right handed shooter, who lost his right eye, so he took a hacksaw to the gun stock so he could still shoot right handed with his left eye. Neat little piece of family and gun history. here is a pic
Hi all, I've had this Geha 12 ga. shotgun for almost 30 years (passed down from my Grandpa) and have never shot it. Grandpa said that I shouldn't shoot it because it wasn't really safe. I found out later that it was because the forward locking lugs were removed from the bolt. All of the numbers match on this gun and I was interested in finding out when/where it was manufactured so I started searching for information... Now I've spent the better part of two days trying to identify the proof marks with little or no sucess. I'm becoming confused because there seems to be a cornicopia of marks, some of which I don't know why they would be on the gun. I've included some pictures of them and hopefully someone here can help me. I can provide more pictures if necessary. Thanks!
I also just acquired a HHH SN 7615 in 12ga full choked. Great shooting but my far the most painful gun I own, even more so than my ,375

Controversial Tory MP Nadine Dorries has been confirmed as one of the contestants heading into the I'm a Celebrity jungle. See the whole line-up here.
Age: 55
Date of Birth: 21st May 1957
Phobias: rats and mice
Missing any special occasions: "Local elections, a by-election, whether President Obama will still be in office or not and the Tatler ball".
Miss most: Aside from my three daughters, my dog.
Dream camper: Sir Winston Churchill
Relationship Status: Dating
Conservative MP for Mid Bedfordshire Nadine Dorries reckons Westminster has proved a fantastic training ground for her stint as the first-ever serving politician to appear on I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!
"Westminster is a jungle," declares the 55-year-old politician.
"Game playing, tactics, strategies. In Westminster you achieve everything by vote. This is the same. The parallels are huge."
As one of the country's most outspoken female MPs, Nadine, who was elected in 2005, says the fact she has had to learn to survive in the House of Commons will mean she will be able to apply the same techniques living in the wild.
She admits: "Politics is a very difficult and a hard world. Nobody realises that until they get there and it takes a certain amount of front, especially as a woman, to survive it. Everyone has different techniques in Westminster. Some people shut down, some people keep themselves to themselves and everyone has a different technique. This will be another one. I work in a jungle."
She says she has been too busy with her job to devise her own game plan before she enters the jungle. "I haven't even had time to watch the show," she says smiling.
"And so I definitely don't have a game plan. I just want to be myself."
Defending her decision to put her job as a politician on hold and miss crucial local elections so she can have the chance to eat testicles in a Bushtucker trial or overcome her own phobia of rats and mice, Nadine believes going in the jungle is the perfect opportunity to prove that politicians are 'normal'.
"I am the first politician to go on I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!" explains Nadine.
"A lot of people don't vote and if they can see I am a normal mother who comes from a poor background and who didn't go to a posh school, they may think they can be a politician too. Maybe they will trust us more.
"I know there will be a backlash that I am going on this show, but I would like to point out that I have never before taken a week away in Parliamentary time whereas a lot of other MPs have."
Before she flew out to Australia, Nadine didn't tell any of her fellow politicians but she reckons the leader of her party and the Prime Minster, David Cameron, will be 'relieved' she is away.
"I am a thorn in his side. He will be relieved."
As a mum of three girls, Nadine, who worked as a nurse, a medical representative and set up her own company before eventually turning to politics, sees her role in the camp as a motherly figure, rather than an argumentative type.
"I am a rubbish cook and so I won't be cooking," she says, laughing.
"I am a mother of three young adults and I think that side of me will come out.
"I won't deliberately start an argument. But if anyone wants to take me on, I will be up for it"
The one thing she won't tolerate in the jungle, however, is snobbery. "I do not like arrogant people who think they are born to rule," she declares.
Although she will find the lack of food tough, she says she will miss coffee terribly.
"I drink coffee all day and even after two hours I am twitching if I haven't had any," she admits.
"That's going to be really hard. I knew there would be no food, but to discover there isn't any tea or coffee was a shock."
She's also very disappointed she won't be able to find out who has been elected as American President.
"I know I will be twitching to find out who has won," she says.
"It will freak me out that I won't know if President Obama has won or not."
As for her phobia of mice, rats and anything that scurries around, Nadine says she is determined to try her best and not have a breakdown.
"I was too busy before going to Australia to dread the trials," she says.
"But I will try very hard not to break down. Having the cameras around all the time will be weird though and I know I am going to miss my daughters terribly. I have never not been in touch with them since the day they were born – and my eldest is 27!"
So will her decision to appear on I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! herald the start of a new TV career for Nadine? "I really don't know," she says, laughing. "I am not going to look to the future. I just want to see what happens…"

Lakewood Playhouse opened its 74th season Sept. 14 with a Sherlock Holmes play the likes of which you have probably never seen.
Like all stories involving the greatest detective ever, not much can be written about this play without giving away the surprise ending. But suffice it to say, the gist of the story is classic Holmes. There is a mystery to solve, nuanced clues along the way, and the whole story is tightly wrapped up by the time the lights go out in this two-hour play written by Charles Marowitz.
"Sherlock's Last Case," while not written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, has all the elements of his mystery greats. There is Holmes, of course, (played by Steve Tarry) and his sidekick Dr. Watson (John Munn) at their flat on Baker Street as a mystery unfolds. The offspring of the duo's arch nemesis, Dr. Moriarty, have come to seek their revenge on the man who murdered their father by taunting Holmes with riddles and threats. With that, the game is afoot.
The plot seems to have gotten the upper hand of the famous detective when he finds himself clamped into a chair in a dark cellar. And the story gets dark from there, as what at first seems real becomes an illusion of double crossed schemes and betrayal.
Tarry, a South Sound theater mainstay, does well with bringing Holmes to life with his full-on arrogance and to-the-point comments of emotionless ultra logic. Munn too, brings Watson to the stage in a way that is familiar yet uniquely different by diving into his mind the way other plays lack. The Holmes-Watson pair is clearly dysfunctional in the classic police partnership ways, but this show brings that to light in a way that is both understandable and shocking.
Clearly one of the "unspoken" characters in this play is the set itself. Designed by Larry Hagermann, the main set rotates to create a new place with a quick spin, both keeping the pace of the play on task and successfully creating a new scene.
Director Christian Carvajal did well at creating the "fly on the wall" feel for audience members used to the theater's in-the-round seating, although this show only has seats on three sides to make way for the larger set pieces. A seat shuffle at intermission creates a whole new view of the actors and the show as the story comes to its climax. With few spaces on the stage for lesser actors to shrink into the background, the set demands all actors bring their A game during every moment under the lights because they are never more than a few feet away from someone staring right at them, whether they are the focus of the action or not.
That said, at two-hours, the play was a bit wordy at points and could have been tightened up to shave a few minutes here and a few minutes there to keep the action going. This is a play without sword fights or struggles over runs or mad dashes to freedom. It all happens in the words the actors say as they shuffle from one side of the stage to the other. While a car crash or zombie attack would have been out of order, a cool fight scene would have been nice, or at least a shorter play by a few nips and tucks in the script seemed in order for the more attention deficit audience members.
The play also features: Mrs. Hudson (Cassie Cahill), Inspector Lestrade (Terence Artz), Elizabeth Moriarty (Rachel Gemello) and Damian Moriarty (Mark Rud.)
The play runs at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. on Sundays thorough Oct. 14. There is also an "actor's benefit show, at 8 p.m. on
Thursday, Sept. 27. Call (253) 588-0042 or visit http://www.lakewoodplayhouse.org
for more information. The Lakewood Playhouse is located next to the Pierce Transit Center in the Lakewood Towne Center.

The conclusion of NYIT's second successful summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) was capped by presentations on July 29 from the 10 participants to an audience of faculty and graduate students. Hailing from NYIT, York University (City College), Gordon College, Missou, University of Redlands, Lewis & Clark College, Mills College and University of Central Florida, student teams presented on research topics under the NYIT REU's main theme of mobile/smartphone security, including smartphone authentication, indoor localization using wifi, and the development of an Android app.
The highly competitive 10-week program, which accepted only 10 students from 110 applicants, included presentations by NYIT faculty on topics ranging from research approaches to public speaking; lectures by industry experts; field trips ; and cultural/social activities including a July 4 barbecue. Check out our official REU 2014 flyer!
NYIT student Kazi Raihan cited a field trip to AT&T as one highlight: "At AT&T, we met researchers and saw this new encryption cipher that uses smartphones to decode seemingly random marks on paper to legible plain text by simply viewing them with the camera." He also described the invaluable research experience: "In 10 weeks, we had to learn about a field, develop theories, design and conduct experiments to validate these theories, and finally have results ready to be presented in a poster and paper. Presenting our findings to others on multiple occasions allowed us to become more comfortable with public speaking; something that haunts many people."
On July 29, they presented on research topics under the NYIT REU's main theme of mobile/smartphone security, including:
- Indoor Localization Using WiFi and Sensor Fusion—real-world applications from advertising to emergency to cybersecurity
- Continuous Authentication of Mobile Devices
- Robotic Telepresence for Fall Detection and Prevention
- Android Application for Medical Diagnosis
- Energy Consumption in Mobile Phones During Data Transmission and Encryption for WBAN
Led by Dr. Ziqian (Cecilia) Dong, NYIT's REU program is funded by prestigious three-year National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, which applies to the three-year period of April 1, 2013 through March 31, 2016. Two of the five research papers co-authored with 2013 REU fellows were published or accepted to peer reviewed international conferences, while another two poster presentations were featured at the 2013 NYIT Cybersecurity Conference at NYIT-Manhattan.
The NYIT REU site is one of few REU sites in the NSF Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) directorate that focus on mobile device and wireless network security. With the objective of providing research opportunities to those who are from institutions lacking research opportunities and from under-represented groups, NYIT REU program has large presence of participants from undergraduate and liberal arts institutions as well as female and minority students. The program provides an opportunity for the undergraduate researchers to collaborate with faculty, graduate students, as well as their REU peers to conduct research in cutting-edge research areas with paramount societal importance and build their confidence as independent researchers.
Other aspects of this highly competitive 10-week program (only 10 students accepted from 110 applicants) included presentations by NYIT faculty on topics ranging from research approaches to public speaking; lectures by industry experts; fieldtrips to Motorola and AT&T; career panels; and cultural/social activities.

Tablets to prevent HIV – PrEP
HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis – PrEP
In 2010, I wrote a blog article on PrEP which is short for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis.
Since then, there has been many updates and new research published so it is high time for an updated entry.
Just to recap, HIV PrEP is a medicine that a person takes everyday which reduces his/her risk of contracting HIV. This is not a new concept in medicine. Take for example tablets taken daily to prevent Malaria or tablets taken daily to prevent pregnancy.
This should not be mistaken for PEP which is Post Exposure Prophylaxis. PEP are medicines taken AFTER a person has been potentially infected with HIV.
So what exactly is PrEP?
PrEP is simply a tablet taken daily that reduces a person's risk of contracting HIV. It's that simple. The tablet most studied for use as PrEP contains 2 medicines: tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg (TDF) and emtricitabine 200 mg (FTC). This is marketed under the brand name Truvada and is made by a company called Gilead Sciences.
How effective is PrEP?
There have been many studies with varying results. Generally, protection rates differ between groups with different sexual orientations. Numbers range from 50% to 84% according to the 4 studies quoted in the US CDC's Interim Guidelines. Other publications quote protection rates as high as 99%.
We must bear in mind that like every other method of HIV prevention, PrEP is not failsafe. It is one of the many weapons in our current arsenal to reduce the burden of HIV on the world. Other prevention methods include:
- Consistent and correct condom use.
- Access to treatment. Treatment as prevention.
- Education.
- Male circumcision.
What are the side effects of PrEP?
Minor side effects such as nausea, headache and weight loss are possible.
Major side effects like effects on the kidney and bone density are rare.
In my personal experience prescribing PrEP, I have not come across anything more than some minor nausea.
What is the cost of PrEP?
This of course varies from country to country and even between centres in the same country. In our clinic, one bottle of 30 tablets of Truvada costs $900 before GST.
How can I start PrEP?
Come see us at our clinic. You will need several tests including a HIV test, STD screening and a kidney function test.
You can start on the pills immediately. It is best to be on the pills for at least 7 days before engaging in any risky encounters.
How can I stop PrEP?
It is best to continue PrEP for at least 4 weeks from the last risky encounter.
You will also be advised to get screening tests done for HIV and other STDs 3 months from the last encounter.
How long can I take PrEP for?
PrEP can be taken indefinitely and should be taken as long as you remain at risk of HIV.
It is best to see your doctor every 3 months to screen for HIV and STDs and monitor for potential side effects.
For further reading:
My PrEP Experience Blog is a great resource on everything you need to know about PrEP.
It also contains real life stories from patients who have taken PrEP and their experiences. I highly recommend that you check it out if you are considering starting on PrEP.
If you had a high risk exposure to HIV within the past 72 hours, you can take medicines to reduce your risk of actually contracting HIV. Find out more on HIV PEP Treatment.

Hi ,
Please help , i had blowjob for 10 minutes unprotected from a girl Csw and after ejaculation i noticed blood in her mouth maybe from her teeth or so and that was 6th Nov 2016 , i was very paranoid and then took the step to make the test , i did HIV P24 Ag/Abs Combo test on the date of 14th April 2017 and result came out Non-Reactive ,
Do you think i am safe and did not contract HIV 1/2 ??
Do you think my test is conculsive and do i need to repeat it ?
Is this test name is the correct one for the my timing ?
The Doc said that i was fine .
May I know how to take this tablets? Do I need to take daily or before sex or after sex ? How long should I take ? This prevention can be effective for how long by taking tablets for two or more months only (for example: can I take tablets about three months to get 1 year prevention ? or do I need to take every month ? ).
Hi Dr Tan,
Thanks for taking the time to read this post.
Recently I had protected insertive oral sex and protected insertive anal sex.
It was in heat of moment with a man massage therapist.
I was confused about my sexuality. Is my risk high?
Dear Dr Tan
I am a student research studying Applied Drama and Psychology in Singapore Polytechnic. A project that I am currently working on involves research and contact with sex workers. As you might have guessed, they perform highly risky sexual behaviours on a daily basis, therefore their risk of contracting HIV is high.
I stumbled across PrEP while searching for a viable solution to reduce the risk. However, little did I know that PrEP costs $900 per bottle. I believe this is deemed high and may deter the sex workers from buying Truvada.
May I know, in your opinion, if there are some other ways to procure Truvada at an affordable price? Or perhaps if there are already hospitals and mobile clinics offering this treatment at a discount?
Thank you very much for reading through this comment. Have a great day ahead.
Yours sincerely
Elsabella Wong
condom broke csw 3,4,8,9 weeks rapid antibody blood test then at 12 weeks and 94 days rapid 4th generation duo. Since my last duo test I've had swollen lymph nodes by my groin and feels like im losing weight. I'm starting to freak out again do this mean that I'm one of those rare case that have to wait 6 months to get a positive result. I also found out I had chlamydia from this woman 8 week post exposure so I'm wondering did I catch hiv to i been to my doctor he thinks it syphilis that make me even more scared because I had a full std screening at 3 weeks post exposure so why wouldn't it show then. I don't have any immune deficiency nor cancer what's goin on doc.

Financial Software
Financial Software Questions? Ask IT Support for Answers ASAP
Hi, I'm Robert and I'll be helping you with your financial software question.
What version of quicken are you using ?
Most of them will do that automatically through the budgeting section
Do you want to use their online bill pay function to make the scheduled payments or do you just want it to remind you of them ?
Hi Robert -
This is a more involved question than the others.
I use Quicken 2013, and I want to be reminded of items to initiate the payment of them myself, included scheduling some for Chase to pay automatically in the future, on an individual basis - that is, I need to schedule or initiate each payment each time it needs to be paid - not automatically have, say, company X paid automatically on the 15th of the month.
I'd love to use Q's budget feature if it worked the way I'd like it to. I don't see where the canned Budget report distinguishes between payments scheduled to be paid, and payments budgeted, and I'm not sure how it indicates payments actually made or sent if it's a manual check that has to be sent and not processed for several days.
Thanks in advance for your assistance,
I am running out for a bit so please don't give me a bad rating for an incomplete answer I will work with you when I get back maybe a couple of hours or tomorrow
But if you want to look at it yourself where you want to look at for that is not budget. It would be under reminders
under bills menu go to manage bills and income reminders
than click add new
you can then add a reminder. But I think the only way to decide when to remind you is by date. That is you can say pay xyz company every 15th of the month without putting in an actual amount that has to be paid. You can put in an estimate or zero even. Then it will show up on the register as a reminder and when you pay it you replace that reminder with the actual payment for the actual amount.
Thanks for your reply and letting me know about your timing - I have to run out shortly myself so I probably won't be able to digest you reply until later tonight / tomorrow. But together we'll get to the bottom of this.
Hi Richard -
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you - several priority items came across my desk which absorbed all my time.
I looked at the options you mentioned in Quicken and did not find what I want, which is , a report to monitor cash flow that roughly looks like this:
-Cash balance as of a certain date (perhaps, last reconcilement)
-Each item that was paid up to another date date (perhaps, today's date)
-Cash balance as of the date above
-Each item scheduled to be paid in the future up to a certain inputted date (say, one week from the above date)
-cash balance as of that date.
Does anything in Quicken - or combination of things - do this?
You would have to create a budget. After that the budgeting reports should come pretty close.
actually if you put the reminders in a simple transaction report or even the register can do all that for you if you change the dates above the register to the dates that you want to see rather than "all transactions"
Thank you for sticking with this and responding. I'll play around with what you said and see how that works for me. I'll get back to you in a day or so.
Again, many thanks,
PS: why doesn't JustAnswer sort these questions and answers in last in,first up order?
ok let me know when you need more help from me.
I have no control at all over the way the website displays a customers questions you can email [email protected] if you have a suggestion. It may be a setting that you can change. I don't even see how it looks from your end so I really don't know
Thank you very much for your help. I have not yet had a chance to experiment with your suggestions, but if I need more help after I do, I'll raise another question. Per your suggestion, I send that request on Support.
Ted Frese
Thank you. I hope that you will give me a top rating if you are happy with my service as that is what affects my standing on the site and allows me to be paid.
I will continue to help you on this same question if you have the same issue even after you rate me
Thank you

It wasn't too long ago we thought Sorcery, the PlayStation Move title, had vanished completely. But it has magically reappeared and is set for launch on May 22. Sony today released a new trailer that shows off the game's story. The main characters, sorcerer's apprentice Finn, and his magical cat Erline, were a part of the story practically from the beginning. But, a lot has changed throughout the development. Your actions in the game help drive the narrative.

It certainly does not appear to be a tactical retreat, or an attempt to damage Gordon Brown by walking out on him.
Mr Reid, who turns 60 next week, genuinely appears to have removed himself from frontline politics for some time by saying he will leave government at the same time as Tony Blair. As a party loyalist, he does not plan to snipe from the backbenches.
His inner circle also insist that he did not jump before he was pushed, and deny there had been indications that prime minister Brown might sack or demote him.
But this resignation is curious. As Mr Reid said yesterday, he has been given nine different jobs in 10 years, prompting some to dub him the Red Adair of politics. Before being appointed home secretary in May last year, Mr Reid had been defence secretary, health secretary, leader of the house, Labour party chairman, Northern Ireland secretary, Scottish secretary, minister for transport and minister for the armed forces.
Fixing bust departments has its attractions, but it might have been expected Mr Reid would relish the rare opportunity to stay in one department, the biggest he has been given, and get bedded down over the next two years.
He became home secretary after Charles Clarke was sacked in the wake of the foreign prisoners debacle.
Mr Reid's decision is especially curious because he arrived at the Home Office denouncing the department as not fit for purpose and promising an 18-hour day to sort out the mess. He has also just won a grinding six-month Whitehall battle to divide the Home Office so that it becomes a Ministry of the Interior based on the continental model, focused solely on security, immigration, the fight against terror, and the police. The resulting complementary Ministry of Justice comes into being this week.
The resignation is all the more strange because he passionately believes the issues his department oversees - security and the battle for identity - are the ones on which the next election will be fought and won.
On the assumption that he believed he could stay as home secretary, the motives for his resignation lie in politics, not administration.
The truth appears to be that he realised that if he stayed he would become the focus of the media's desire to maintain and reframe the Blair-Brown battles, going into the Brown premiership. There was bound to be a stream of stories that he and Mr Brown were at odds.
In these circumstances, Mr Reid decided it would be better for Mr Brown to have indisputably his own man or woman in the post. A cabinet member said yesterday: "The mood has changed over the past fortnight. People want to stop the poison."
Certainly the overwhelming mood is to end the damaging Brown-Blair "tribalism", as described by the culture secretary, Tessa Jowell, last week.
One of the inner circle who has known Mr Reid for 20 years said: "It may sound trite, but he is a party man, and he thought it was in the best interests of the party."
He had not actively plotted to stand for the leadership against Mr Brown, but after the party conference in September, he was keeping the option very open. "It would have taken a certain constellation of events for John to stand, but in the end it did not happen," an ally said.
The Home Office destroys political reputations and consumes energy, so it was never a good base from which to mount a challenge.
It also appears from those closest to him in parliament that Mr Reid did not actively organise at Westminster to defeat Mr Brown by gathering a support group in the parliamentary party. In the end those seeking a leadership contest bet their house on David Miliband, the youthful environment secretary. After Mr Miliband pulled back, the only alternatives were Mr Reid or Charles Clarke.
One cabinet ally said: "John looked at the level of support and the degree of poison that a contest would involve. The mood is for reconciliation."
There is, finally, a personal side. After the death of his first wife, he married for a second time nearly five years ago, to Carine Adler, the Brazilian film director.
She has a successful professional life of her own, but if the marriage is to be something more than an interlude between red boxes, this is the moment.
The letters
The letter to Blair
John Reid said that now the elections were over and Tony Blair was to stand down it was time to clarify his own position
Dear Tony,
I do not intend to put my name forward as a candidate in the leadership elections. Whatever the pros and cons of a contest, I do not believe that there is eagerness in the party for what might be a divisive exercise at this time. Moreover, I believe that it is in all our interests that the incoming prime minister should have the widest opportunity to make a fresh start, with the maximum flexibility in introducing his own agenda, ideas, ministers.
For that he needs space. This has persuaded me that I should stand down from the cabinet at the time you stand down as prime minister. This will, incidentally, also provide me personally with more time than is ever available while in office to discuss, listen, learn and reflect on the great issues of the next decade, especially that of security, which even now confront us (along with a little more time for my constituents, family, friends and football!)
The reply
Mr Blair said his decision would be "a great loss to both party and country"
Dear John,
You have been an immense figure in the government over this past decade, fulfilling a number of crucial positions at vital moments, with distinction.
Your political courage, your ability to analyse and get to the heart of an issue and your understanding of people, their concerns and their hopes, has been outstanding.
Especially at critical moments in Northern Ireland, during essential reform in the NHS and most recently in the Home Office, where you gave leadership and direction in one of the most challenging jobs in government, you have a record to be proud of.

Box score
The Fairfield University men's lacrosse team received goals from seven different players as it defeated visiting Quinnipiac University 7-5 on Tuesday night at Alumni Field. The victory improves the Stags to 2-1 on the year, while the Bobcats fall to 0-2.
Quinnipiac tallied the first goal, less than two minutes into the game as Jack Oppenheimer found the back of the net. The Stags rattled off three consecutive goals, in just over six minutes to take a 3-1 lead that it would not relinquish. Sam Snow, who had an assist as well, started the Stags scoring at the 7:41 mark of the quarter. Jordan Greenfieldscored at the 2:09 mark and 38 seconds later Jay Duffy touched net. Ryan Mulford tallied the Stags only goal of the second quarter, between Quinnipiac tallies and Fairfield took a 4-3 lead into the intermission.
Unknown Object
The Bobcats cut the deficit to one, 4-3, with a goal from Billy Alessi 4:28 into the second-half, but again the Stags answered with three goals and Charlie Cipriano shut down the Quinnipiac offense. The Stags junior keeper allowed just one more goal, midway in the fourth-quarter, while making seven of his eight saves in the second-half of play.
Marshall Johnson started the Stags third-quarter offensive surge with an unassisted goal just 45 second after the Bobcats tally. Shawn Honovich scored what would prove to be the game-winner, unassisted, 22 seconds later and Doug Kuring wrapped up the Stags part of the scoring netting a pass from Mulford 63 second after that.
Mulford and Snow both finished the game with a goal and an assist for the Stags, who out-shot Quinnipiac 33-26 on the night. For the third consecutive game the Stags did not allow a man-down goal, holding the Bobcats 0-2. Kuring had a team-high 24 ground balls in the game, as Quinnipiac finished with a 32-26 edge in that category.
Quinnipiac was led by Oppenheimer's two points, tallying a goal and an assist. The Bobcats had five players score their goals as well on the night, including a tally from freshman Brandon Kuring, the younger brother of Stags senior Doug Kuring. The Bobcats won 9-16 face-offs on the evening and cleared the ball 15-18.
Fairfield, which is in the midst of five-home games in 18 days, will host Villanova on Saturday at 1 p.m.

War Horse
(12A) 146mins
I'M no stranger to crying during the films of Steven Spielberg.
E.T. had me bawling in the cinema, Empire Of The Sun too, but War Horse takes
the Seabiscuit.
Four, maybe five times this film had me pulling my hat down to hide my eyes
from the bloke next to me.
Make no mistake, this is a big time tearjerker.
Not since Elliott made friends with a little brown alien has the story of a
boy and his companion been so shamelessly touching.
Beginning in Devon, we meet Albert Narracott (Jeremy Irvine, impressive in his
film debut), whose father Ted (Peter Mullan) buys a colt.
Thanks to the patience of Albert, who names the horse Joey, it turns out to be
a sound investment and boy and horse form a powerful bond.
But with the onset of the First World War, Joey is sold to the military,
leaving Albert distraught. And Joey soon finds himself on the battlefields
of France.
Cue the kind of astounding action spectacle that Spielberg is famous for.
There's a thunderous 300-strong cavalry charge — led by Benedict Cumberbatch
and Tom Hiddleston's army officers — that momentarily recalls the long-grass
raptor attack in The Lost World.
Then after a brief lull when Joey ends up in the care of a young French girl,
it's off to the trenches.
Saving Private Ryan showed Spielberg could stage a stunning battle scene and,
while largely bloodless, this is no less brutal. But among the carnage, as
soldiers are mown down by machine gun fire, there are some quiet moments of
Spielberg genius.
Toby Kebbell has a wonderful scene in which he befriends a German soldier in
the middle of no man's land. It's both moving and funny.
After the ho-hum that was Tintin, this serves as a reminder of why Spielberg
is considered one of the great visionary storytellers.
He's taken Michael Morpurgo's novel and created a cinematic tour de force.

Lambda Urges Court to Strike Down Florida's Gay Adoption Ban
Find Your State
Legal Help Desk
Our Sponsors
(ATLANTA, Thursday, February 21, 2002) — Lambda Legal is urging a federal appeals court to end Florida's unconstitutional ban on adoptions by lesbian and gay parents because it disregards the best interests of thousands of children needing good homes and is based solely on anti-gay prejudice.
Leading civil rights and family advocacy groups including the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, the NOW Legal Defense Fund, and the National Partnership for Women and Families joined Lambda's amicus brief, co-authored by Lambda Senior Counsel Patricia M. Logue and noted constitutional law scholar Erwin Chemerinsky, a professor at the University of Southern California Law School.
"Florida is the only state that prevents all adoptions by any gay person," Logue said. "This is a senseless law that only keeps kids from finding loving, permanent homes."
Logue continued, "At a time when all credible experts, including the American Academy of Pediatrics tell us lesbian and gay parents do a good job raising children, the state of Florida is out of step with the country."
Florida passed the law in 1977 to express disapproval of gay people.
"There is a critical shortage of adoptive parents, and thousands of children in Florida who need to be adopted," she said. "There should be individualized consideration of each child's needs, not blanket exclusions that only harm kids."
"Florida's unequal approach is not only unconstitutional, it harms children, relegating many to a life without any legal parents at all," Logue said.
Plaintiffs in the case, Lofton v. Kearney, brought by the ACLU, include a gay parent raising foster children. Steven Lofton wants to adopt the 10-year-old boy he's been raising since infancy. Lofton was named foster parent of the year several years ago, but the state is barring the adoption because he is gay. Separate legal claims were brought on behalf of the children who suffer as a result of the ban.
Lambda submitted its friend-of-the-court brief with the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Atlanta on Thursday in support of the equal protection claims for the adult and children plaintiffs.
Lambda is the nation's oldest and largest legal organization, dedicated to achieving full recognition of the civil rights of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, the transgendered, and people with HIV or AIDS.

cracked ceiling joist near garage door support
I noticed this crack in a ceiling joist near one of the hangars supporting the garage door.
Here's a wider shot, with the cracked section at the far left:
Does this look serious enough to need repair? If so, what's the best way to go about it?
In reality, it probably won't hurt anything. It cracked from the lagbolt going in. You could screw and glue a rip of plywood on the side showing if you want to help keep it from getting any worse. Looks like conduit running on the other side. If you decide to put the plywood on, replace the two lagbolts holding up the garage door hangs with carriage bolts of the same diameter, drilling through the plywood and 2x . That will help hold the sandwich together and provide good support for the garage door hangs.
