France's largest bank to pay $8.97b in penalties to US
Jul 01 2014 , New York
BNP Paribas (BNPP), the global financial institution headquartered in Paris, agreed to enter a guilty plea to conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and the Trading with the Enemy Act (TWEA), the first time a global bank has agreed to plead guilty to large-scale, systematic violations of US economic sanctions.
The plea agreement, subject to approval by the court, provides that BNPP will pay total financial penalties of $8.97 billion, including forfeiture of $8.83 billion and a fine of $140 million.
"BNP Paribas went to elaborate lengths to conceal prohibited transactions, cover its tracks, and deceive US authorities. These actions represent a serious breach of US law," US Attorney General Eric Holder said.
"Sanctions are a key tool in protecting US national security interests, but they only work if they are strictly enforced. If sanctions are to have teeth, violations must be punished.
Banks thinking about conducting business in violation of US sanctions should think twice because the Justice Department will not look the other way."
Manhattan's top federal prosecutor Preet Bharara said BNPP "banked on never being held to account for its criminal support of countries and entities engaged in acts of terrorism and other atrocities."
He said the world's fourth largest bank will pay penalties for "performing the hat trick of sanctions violations, unlawfully opening the doors of the US financial markets to three sanctioned countries, Sudan, Iran and Cuba.
"For years, BNPP provided access to billions of dollars to these sanctioned countries, as well as to individuals and groups specifically identified and designated by the US government as being subject to sanctions. The bank did so deliberately and secretly, in ways designed to evade detection by the US authorities," Bharara said.
According to documents, over the course of eight years, BNPP "knowingly and willfully" moved more than $8.8 billion through the US financial system on behalf of Sudanese, Iranian and Cuban sanctioned entities, in violation of US economic sanctions, including more than $4.3 billion in transactions involving entities on whom the US had slapped economic curbs.

According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten has been medically cleared to play in tonight's season opener against the Giants.
Jason Witten is playing for Cowboys, per sources. Cleared by doctors. # NFL32
— Chris Mortensen (@mortreport) September 5, 2012
This is great news for the Cowboys and quarterback Tony Romo, now he'll have his favorite target on the field with him.
I would think the Giants prepared all week as if Witten was going to play and they have the linebackers to match up with him as well.

I'm barely through the front door of the house (her house) when she grabs hold of my arm, pulls me into the unlit bedroom that adjoins the vestibule and the bathroom. Without a word, she takes hold of my wrist, guides my right hand down into the front of her jeans.
The jeans are already unbuttoned.
Like a snake through wet grass, I slide in easily. She must have unbuttoned the jeans before I came through the door. She must have unbuttoned them knowing I would do this; knowing I would want to do this.
"Make me cum," she whispers, wet lips pressed against my lobe.
She's not wearing underwear, so I feel her moist, soft place. I feel it on my fingers, my fingers inching and moving in and over and around and in. It's a nice, soft, warm, neatly trimmed place.
I work slow but fast; gentle but rough, her long black hair splashing against my face.
She kisses my neck with those lips I remember, breathes in and out hard and rapid, braces herself with her arms balanced on my shoulders, hands pressed against the back of my head.
It happens.
She shudders, bites my neck.
Coming from the bathroom beside the bedroom, the splash of bathtub water.
And a voice.
"Coming sweety," she says.
"Yes you are," I say.
She pulls my hand out, buttons up, exists the bedroom for the bathroom.
"Time to wash your hair, my love."
Later I walk alone in the deep night.
I still smell her on my fingers even though I have washed.
When I smell her, I picture her face--the thick lips, the small nose, the dark eyes. I feel my stomach go tight, my throat closes up. On the rare occasion this happens, it's not unusual for my eyes to tear up. When I smell her scent I am reminded of loss. Loss washes over me like a waterfall of blood and tears. It's the tangible things I miss: the scent, the feel, the touch, the lips on a neck, the fingers on her moist sex, her mouth on my body. It's the chemical properties of us that I miss. The physical us. Us together as a whole. The tenderness of us.
Or maybe tenderness never entered the "us" equation.
I try to put "us" of my mind. But no soap in the world, no matter how expensive, can remove that scent.
I make a pit-stop at my local for a quick beer.
The place is dead. Empty. But I catch the eyes of young woman seated on the opposite end of the horseshoe bar. "Young woman" is a stretch. The girl is maybe 21, 22 at most. A couple years older than my oldest son. Long brunette hair, dark eyes, smooth skin. Knock out, drop-dead-gorgeous.
I've seen her around. I sit next to her.
She smiles that slow-mo, milky eyed smile that tells me she's had a few already.
"You're sexy for an old guy," she says with a giggle.
I feel my 44 year old face go redder than Johnny Walker. I try to respond, but my mouth is clamped shut.
She leans into me, pert young breasts nearly pressing up against me.
"I'd fuck you," she whispers. "Totally."
I laugh. I laugh because my built-in auto-response mechanism appears to have malfunctioned. I laugh, like an ass, in the face of this beautiful girl. Yeah, I want to fuck her. You betcha. But I also want to crawl under a bar stool and disappear.
I'm a total choke.
But here we are seated next to one another at an otherwise empty bar. She, a ravishing 21 or 22 and me, a useless 44. The resulting heavy silence turns into senseless and stupid chit-chat that lasts for the length of one beer.
Bored, beautiful girl gets up and leaves.
The bartender, a young muscle-bound man not much older than she is, approaches me. He tosses me a glance that could cut a rattlesnake in two at thirty paces.
"Nice work, Chief," he says.
The next morning, I buy two large coffees, bring them with me back to the house (her house).
She is still in her pajamas. She's moving furniture around. A chair here; a sofa there; a desk up against the far wall. It's what she does every Sunday morning. So I recall. This obsession with moving the furniture around: it's not like she's trying to rearrange the living room so much as trying to rearrange her life.
I smell her scent inside the house. It enters my mouth and nasal passages, jump starts my senses like hot volts to the naked wire.
I say "Hello," set the coffees on the coffee table.
I ask about the little one. The little one is in the bedroom playing.
"Nicely," she says, before issuing me a wave of the hand; before guiding me into her bedroom, and finally the bathroom.
She unbuckles my belt, unbuttons my jeans. She pulls down her bottoms, lets them fall to her ankles, turns to face the sink and the medicine cabinet mirror. She reaches under, guides me into her.
It takes all of three minutes, the bathroom door slightly ajar so that she can listen for the child.
Later, after washing, we sit at the table, drinking tepid coffee.
I smell her scent on my hands mixed with the rosy smell of pricey hand soap.
I feel the tightness in my stomach, the closing up of my throat.
"That was nice," I say. "The past couple of times…It's been nice."
She looks up at me quick—wide, dead-giveaway-eyes.
"Don't get carried away," she says, out the corner of her mouth.
Tight stomach falls to the linoleum. You can almost hear it go splat.
"Why do you say that?"
She cocks her head, sips her coffee, peers off into a kitchen landscape of modern cooking appliances, junk drawers, rack drying china, cutlery and spilling over garbage cans.
"It's just fucking," she says. "And that's all."

It allows you to experience moments such as taking in a sunrise and noticing a coastline. Sailing is not all about good weather. There is also a real sense of achievement in having completed a long passage or sailing through challenging conditions. I don't think it can be appreciated until tried first hand. Getting cold and wet while making little progress does not always sound appealing to the average landlubber, but it is a great form of escapism. I started sailing dinghies when I was 10 at a local Sea Scouts near Chester.
When racing a yacht, the result is obviously a direct indication of how you've done. But a crew's response will let you know how well you've done as a skipper. There's little point winning a race if the crew aren't happy.
As a sailor, I can only really be happy when there's enough breeze to gather a reasonable pace. Otherwise it's frustrating. It's important for a skipper to stay calm when the going gets rough. I try not to let my mood reflect the mood of the water.
Lack of money makes me unhappy, especially at the moment when I'm trying to get sponsorship to become a single-handed yacht racer. Like most sportsmen I'm competitive, so losing has an effect. There would be no point in pursuing my goals in such a single-minded way if I lost everything else along the way. I am very conscious of this. I recently married and have a three-month-old baby. For me, that's happiness.

Join point
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer science, a join point is a point in the control flow of a program. In aspect-oriented programming a set of join points is called a pointcut. A join point is a specification of when, in the corresponding main program, the aspect code should be executed.
The join point is a point of execution in the base code where the advice specified in a corresponding pointcut is applied.
Conceptually, a join point exists where a precondition for a command in Hoare logic makes an assertion parametric upon the joint and several advice supplied by the different concerns at that point in a generalized abstract process, the unified thing composed from its concrete aspects being the pointcut.

Lavonia Downtown Up for State Award
By MJ Kneiser, WLHR Radio, Lavonia
The City of Lavonia is in line for yet another prestigious state award.
Recently, the Lavonia Downtown Development Authority was notified the city has been named a finalist for a Georgia Downtown Conference Award of Excellence for the interior renovation of the Lavonia Train Depot.
The purpose of the annual awards is to recognize, honor and promote the outstanding achievements of Georgia's local downtown development and revitalization organizations.
Lavonia DDA Director Marie Morse said she sent in several applications in hopes the city would make the final cut.
"Back in May we were allowed the opportunity as a Main Street city to complete an application for an event, program, renovation, or historic restoration that we felt was noteworthy," Morse said.
Work on the depot took about three months to complete last fall at a cost to the city of Lavonia of about $248,000 and was completed in time to celebrate its 100th birthday.
But the renovation is really a restoration.
Working with the Georgia Mountains Regional Commission, workers uncovered decades of past renovations and brought the train depot back to the way it looked originally when it first opened in 1911.
Morse said she believes winning the Award for Excellence would help promote all that the City of Lavonia has to offer.
"This is putting Lavonia front and center in front of a group of people who are hearing, "Lavonia" again," she said. "Then they will show the information about the application and the photos. So, people will see that and hopefully it will be a place and a city where people will want to visit."
The winners will be announced at a special awards banquet in Atlanta on August 15.

Adding any HTML code in Extra bio field adds long horizontal scroll bar at bottom of my pet's page.
I am trying to dress up my kitty's page by adding some HTML using guides I have found on Catster. The problem I am running into is that everything I add in the Extra bio field that has HTML code in it adds a long horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of my kitty's page.
At first I thought it might have been something erroneous in my CSS coding, but if I delete everything and just put the word 'test' in SPAN tags, I am able to reproduce the issue. Looking at other pet pages which have been customized, I am seeing it on those too.
I am seeing this in both Internet Explorer and Firefox on my pc, as well as on Safari on my tablet.
Is this a bug with Catster/Dogster pages? Any idea on how to go about getting this fixed?

Hi Everyone, Meet Alma
by Eran Stern
September 2nd, 2009
Category: News
Last night after 100 hours of painful contractions (we probably broke some record) Alma Stern was born and she's amazing. Alma is one day old 🙂 and apart from being a daughter of Natasha and myself she's also a sister to beautiful Michal (12) and lovely Ruth (10) already famous for their charming glow. We're all excited and happy and also a little tired.
I saw quite a few effects in my life but there is nothing that can compete with the magic of life – this is the most amazing effect which easily wins over everything else.

In my new piece at Slate, meet the competitive lockpicker behind one of Kickstarter's most troubled projects:
"They worked beautifully," Towne recalls today. "I had people walking up to me holding a pick in their hand saying, 'I haven't been able to really understand what happened in a lock until I used this pick. And then, after about half an hour of this, people started walking up and saying, 'Ah, this one snapped.'"
The first few snapped picks didn't bother Towne. They were delicate. It happens. "But then," he says, "pick after pick after pick after pick kept coming back snapping."
And then everything snapped.

Dental implant healing has two aspects. Most patients are interested in how long it will take for the pain to go away and for the gum to heal up over the implant.
But the dentist is interested in how long it takes for the bone to heal against the sides of the implant. He wants the implant to become fused to the bone.
For both of you, the answer is : IT DEPENDS !
NORMALLY, if there are NO complications, then the gum over a dental implant should heal up within about 10 days. Any discomfort or pain should also be pretty much gone in this time.
Of course, the gum may still be a little tender if you poke it with a toothbrush! But the main part of the healing will be complete.
You can ensure the best and quickest implant healing by keeping your implants as clean as possible. A great way to do this is by using products that effectively kill the bacteria that can cause problems. I think the best ones are from TheraBreath, and I recommend the Perio Therapy Kit.
It takes a lot longer for the bone of your jaw to grow around the implant. Typically, it takes a minimum of about 3 months. Some implant systems may be a bit faster, but on average, about 3 months is the quickest you can expect.
One of the main reasons for an implant to fail is putting the crown on it too soon. So it's better to be patient and give it plenty of time.
After 3 months, the bone around the implant will be mostly fused to the implant. The bone cells grow right into the microscopic roughness of the implant surface. The implant becomes locked in.
The dental term is osseointegration
How do you know when an implant has healed enough to take the new tooth?
The simplest method appears rather unscientific, but in the hands of an experienced dentist, it is reasonably reliable. Basically, the dentist firmly taps the top of the implant with the handle of a metal dental instrument.
If the implant has become fused to the bone, you should hear a clear metallic ring, like tapping a wineglass. If the implant has NOT become fused to the bone yet, the sound is dull, like tapping a big window.
But the most reliable method uses some fancy science called "Resonant Frequency Analysis". This uses a small gadget that fits into the top of the implant, and a hand-held measuring device. It measures how the implant resonates or vibrates. It is like measuring that clear ringing sound you get from tapping a wine glass.
What's great about this type of measuring tool is that you actually get a "number" that represents something. You can do this measurement every 4 weeks, and get proof that the implant is getting firmer and firmer in the bone.
What things can slow down dental implant healing?
There are a couple of things that might cause slower healing.
There are some implant companies that have invested a lot of time and research into how to speed up healing times. Astra Tech has been at the front of this research, with its OsseoSpeed implant coating.
Things have come a long way since Professor Branemark's discovery of titanium dental implant healing. But the main limiting factor now is the human body and how it can heal. The fitter and healthier you are, the faster your implants are likely to heal!
If you're looking for a new toothbrush, I recommend the Cybersonic. Read my review of this brush here.

"Jimmy Kimmel Live" Features "Celebrities Read Mean Tweets"
It's a whole new game over at "Jimmy Kimmel Live" thanks to his earlier time slot, and Kimmel brought back his uber-popular "Celebrities Read Mean Tweets" segment to see just how cruel fans can be on Twitter.
And this time around, the micro-blogging tidbits were extra harsh, though the famous folks reading them didn't seem to mind.
Selena Gomez began by reading, "Selena Gomez is on the radio right now. Is there a volume lower than mute?"
Next, Larry King added in this zinger- "I saw Larry King at dinner! But it might have been just a run-of-the-mill goblin."
And it sounds like Dr. Phil got an earful from one of his followers- "Dr. Phil, why don't you shut the f**k up, you bald-headed, big-mouthed hillbilly."
Meanwhile, Justin Timberlake's bride Jessica Biel received some rude words as well- "My Asian orthodontist says Jessica Biel has horse teeth."

Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at the Music Center Announces 10th Anniversary 2012-2013 Season
Celebrating the significant history of dance at the Music Center with presentations by three enduring partners - Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, American Ballet Theatre and The Joffrey Ballet - whose local presence spans the past five decades.
A World Premiere and a U.S. Debut by two of the most influential choreographers of the 21st century - Benjamin Millepied(L.A. Dance Project) and Christopher Wheeldon(The National Ballet of Canada), set to new music by two acclaimed young composers - Nico Muhly (L.A. Dance Project) and Joby Talbot (The National Ballet of Canada).
April 16, 2012 – Los Angeles. Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at the Music Center announces the tenth anniversary season of its internationally known dance series, which will kick off September 22 at Walt Disney Concert Hall with the World Premiere of the inaugural full-length program by L.A. Dance Project, (LADP), founded by celebrated choreographer Benjamin Millepied and commissioned by Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at the Music Center. Millepied, in addition to creating a World Premiere for the stage of the Music Center, will present "Quintett" by William Forsythe (1993), and "Winterbranch" by Merce Cunningham (1964).
The 2012-2013 season continues at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion with the U.S. debut of The National Ballet of Canada's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon(October 19-21, 2012), followed by the return of The Joffrey Ballet dancing two programs, both of which will include the 100th anniversary (and 25th anniversary of Joffrey premiere of this reconstruction at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion) of "Le Sacre du Printemps/Rite of Spring" (February 1-3, 2013). Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (April 17-21, 2013) will appear at the Music Center for the first time under the direction of Robert Battle with 3 different programs of mixed repertory, followed by a 3 performance engagement of the Off-Broadway hit fusing circus, dance, music, and street performance, Traces (April 26-28, 2013) which is also presented as part of the Blue Ribbon Children's Festival for over 18,000 5th graders. Hubbard Street Dance Chicago and Alonzo King LINES Ballet will follow as they share the stage to present a new work by LINES Ballet Artistic Director Alonzo King (June 21-23, 2013). American Ballet Theatre will close the season with both an opening night of mixed repertory and 4 performances of the company's new production of "Le Corsaire" (July 11-14, 2013).

GraphicNovelReporter.com reviews The Clockwork Girl
Graphic Novel Reporter recently reviewed The Clockwork Girl, which was released through Harper Collins just a couple of weeks ago. Read below for an excerpt from the review, and CLICK HERE FOR THE ENTIRE REVIEW.
The Clockwork Girl is called a "futuristic Romeo and Juliet." It isn't exactly the same, and it doesn't have the sad ending, but there are definite similarities. On one hand, this graphic novel is covering well-known, archetypical ground, with aspects reminiscent of Beauty and the Beast and other beloved tales. On the other hand, it's been made unique with its sci-fi atmosphere and the fact that the characters are a mutant and a robot. It asks the question science fiction books have asked for years: Can a robot love?
There's a flashback that shows why Wilhelm hates Huxley, and in the main story Huxley comes to believe—erroneously—that the Clockwork Girl is going to hurt him because of who her father is. The opposite is true, and the misunderstanding that occurs revs up the plot.
The fact that the two main characters are each outsiders in their own way adds to the appeal, because everyone has felt like an outsider at some point. The story is fairly simple, but it's also touching, especially when Huxley's two hearts come into play toward the end.
All of the pages are in color, and the style would lend easily into that of a cartoon. This works well, in fact, because a Clockwork Girl animated movie is in the works. At the end of the book, there's a bonus picture gallery showing the characters in different art styles from different artists. Because of the way The Clockwork Girl is written and drawn, it should have a wide audience, as
both children and adults would be able to enjoy it.

Vienna Is Deeply Interested.
Special Cable to THE NEW YORK TIMES ();
January 25, 1925,
, Section BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS NEWS EDITORIAL, Page E1, Column , words
VIENNA, Jan. 22. -- The trip of Dr. Dinghofer, Speaker of the Austrian Parliament, and former Vice Chancellor Frank to Berlin in connection with plans for an Austrian union with Germany has called forth agitated comment here. Along with general recognition that the League scheme, while reconstructing the Austrian State, has not reconstructed the economic life, people are asking what next.

My son compliments me a lot. Enthusiastically and relentlessly, sometimes, since he tends to perseverate in all things to the point of shut up now, thanks.
A few weeks ago, as he does a lot, he went on and on about how trim I was looking, lean and fit.
This is true, of course.
And, obviously, all of his life he lived with Fat Dad, so this is new and exciting. And nice, with the above exception.
But recently I've felt like an insult waiting to happen, that is:
Your momma is so fat…
(I am momma for the purposes of this)
Your momma is so fat that she lost 30% of her body weight and still maintains a Body Mass Index slightly above 25.
The point being that I have room to move, southerly speaking. If you just look at the highly problematic BMI chart, I could actually weigh 135 pounds before I was statistically underweight.
I would not reach 135 pounds, since my family would have done a Caloric Intervention long before that, but you see my point. It probably wouldn't hurt to lose a few more pounds.
And, as I wrote a while back, that elevated blood sugar level from my recent physical has nagged at me. Prediabetic? Your momma.
Maybe it was an aberration, and maybe I'm a little paranoid lately (I am, and with good reason), but I decided that it was a waste of a brand-new year to spend 365 days without losing a little, so I decided to pay attention and make changes. Minor changes. Nothing serious. Even 2 pounds a month over the course of a year adds up (to 24; I have a calculator).
So my scale this morning informed me that I've lost 22 pounds since January 1. My scale is free to say whatever it wants, of course. I happen to believe that weighing myself on New Year's Day morning only tells me what I ate on New Year's Eve, so I lop off 5 pounds right away.
Still, given my state of mind, and despite honest efforts to keep indulgence to a minimum and continue daily exercise, it seems a bit much.
Which only fuels my paranoia. So now I think I'm dying of a prediabetic fat-dissolving parasitic malignancy, but I try not to let it interfere with having a good time.
What is really going on, I suspect, is that a year and a half of daily, reasonably vigorous exercise has tuned up my metabolism. Works for me, and furthers my goal of achieving Viggo status before long.
(Viggo Mortensen, age 50)
(Me, age 50)
I know, I know. Like we were separated at birth. Weird.
So I only worry a little, and mostly I'm grateful, and even for John with his odd compliments. As the other day, mentioned above, when he went on and on at how great I looked, and then topped himself:
"It's as if someone Photoshopped an old guy's head onto a young guy's body."
As if.
Viggohood awaits anyway. Since goals are good.

Drink of the Week
Do you remember your first experience with hard alcohol? For me, it was sneaking the liquor-soaked cherries out of the Manhattans that my grandparents drank each evening. As a child, I both hated and loved the bittersweet taste. Still, I'd never sat down and ordered a Manhattan until I bellied up to the horseshoe-shaped mahogany bar that dominates the new incarnation of the Skylark Lounge. Forced to move a few blocks south on Broadway after losing the space the bar had occupied since 1943, owner Scott Heron worked hard to re-create the Skylark's venerable atmosphere. Classic James Dean and Rita Hayworth movie posters and pinups once again hang above maroon booths, which are once again packed with rockabilly scenesters and Baker neighbors. One of those booths is the perfect place to enjoy a Manhattan ($4.50), a cocktail as timelessly fashionable as the Skylark and supposedly invented at New York's Manhattan Club in 1874. This version, made with Sweet Vermouth, Maker's Mark and a dash of bitters, is served on the rocks and garnished with a cherry of my very own. "I think we took everything that was good about the old place and made it even better," Heron says of the Skylark's new home. "We tried really hard to create the same cozy feeling." And I'm sure glad they did.

Top quality lockers, specifically designed for golf club use!
Lockers are important to all businesses and leisure facilities, golf clubs included. Players have a special need to store bulky and often very expensive specialist equipment. With the discerning golfer in mind, a golf club locker should never be run of the mill: it ought to be sleek, attractive and tailor-made to hold expensive and oversized equipment.
Why not provide golfers with a locker that has been designed especially for them? The ideal solution is offering them strong yet elegant, all-steel construction lockers with two compartments and double-vented, extra strengthened doors in a wide range of bright and tasteful colours.
The single door lockers have a narrow space for placing golf shoes at the top of the compartment as well as a larger space tailored for storing the all important golf bag. The lockers can be placed on a bench to add height or placed directly onto the floor.
Additional features include an active anti-bacterial surface coating on all doors for increased hygiene as well as a modern, attractive locking system of through the door cam locks, which come with two keys per locker. These smart and heavy duty Golf Club Golf Lockers have been quality made in the UK.
Steel is an ideal material for storing weighty golf equipment, as it is incredibly strong and hardwearing, yet it is also lightweight and attractive. Smart, timeless and practical, these lockers are built to last for years to come and require very little maintenance, offering trouble-free pleasure for users and proprietors alike.

To Lure Moviegoers, AMC Theaters Installs ReclinersBy
Watching a movie in a theater used to be a treat, what with screens the size of your living room, sound booming at you from all sides, and buckets of popcorn drenched in butter-like chemicals that, presumably, you didn't have access to at home. (Sure, at-home theater systems have existed for some time, but unless you were a rich movie geek, you probably didn't have one.) But then along came 70-inch plasmas and on-demand services and Netflix—and, well, movie theaters increasingly found some stiff competition.
In an effort to entice movie fans out of their cradles of comfort, AMC Theaters announced it's experimenting with a new tactic: mimicking the home-viewing experience. The chain is renovating select locations across the country and installing luxuriously large recliners and seats you can reserve ahead of time so you're not stuck in the first row. "During the next two to three years, we anticipate that nearly half of our circuit will have received some kind of renovation," says AMC spokesperson Ryan Noonan. (Others have observed that these new seats may be a hit among couples and teens.)
The upgrade arrives at a time when ticket sales across the industry continue to slide. Last year, movie theaters sold 1.3 billion tickets, which is better than 2011 but less than the 1.5 billion they were selling a decade ago. To make up for fewer moviegoers, ticket prices have risen by a third over the past decade. On average, they are now about $8 across the country. In some cities—and for higher-priced 3D movies—they're close to $20.
AMC isn't the first to try to create a more sumptuous experience. In fact, other theater chains have had reclining seats for years. The smaller, Southern California-based ArcLight Cinemas is one of them. It also has reserved seating and full-service cafés and bars. In some ways, AMC is even copying itself; in 2010, it launched several so-called Dine-In Theaters that paired reclining seats with a full-service casual restaurant. But the Dine-In ticket could run as much as $25 a film, while AMC's more recent renovations reportedly won't lead to higher prices. They will allow children, though, which Dine-Ins don't.
Wait, no kids and a waiter who'll deliver popcorn directly to my butter-soaked hands? Come to think of it, $25 sounds like a steal.

The robe is warm, well made, and large enough so my daughter can wear extra clothes underneath. So pleased with purchase.

We liked the cape very much, length was good, but my daughter runs on the tall side. the patch is very nice my only issue was the latch closer, the top piece broke off, but we glued it back on

Great Hogwarts Robe. Very soft and comfortable, but wish it was made of cotton or other material. Size was perfect. The front clasp is a bit awkward, but sturdy. It can be removed and re-clasped to adjust to your needs. Has a cute hood, which reminds me of dementors...did these robes have hoods in the movie?

New heads and strange coolant leak
Introduction out of the way in that section now on to the issue at hand!
Subject: 85 Chevy 1/2 ton, GM Goodwrench 350 4 bolt, aproximately 8000 miles. Performer Intake, Edelbrock carb, Headman headers, Erson cam, roller rockers, new Dart Iron Eagle heads.
Son and I just compelted a head swap on the engine.
We replaced the stock heads with Dart Iron Eagle's and all seemed to go well. Old heads off, cleaned deck surfaces thouroughly, installed Fel-Pro head gastkets dry as per directions, used new ARP head bolts with sealer on threads, torqued in sequence and double checked twice to make sure every bolt was indeed torqued correct. Put everything back together and fired it up....sounded great, set timing, idle mixture watched water level in radiator, when thermostat opened added water as needed. Checked heads for leaks in visible and obvious places still all seemed good.
After about 10 minutes of run time noticed what looked like coolant leak dripping low off the bottom of the engine on passenger side. Crawled under truck and sure enough clean water with a little left over antifreeze dripping from the pan gasket flange in between where the starter is bolted on and the pan. It looks as though it is comming from the pan itself but this makes no sense to me becuase it is clear, no oil contamination. Dropped the oil to see if there was water in the oil and there were no bubbles or milky signs to the oil. I have checked the back of the heads and there doesn't seem to be any leakage on the back of the block area.
Any help would be appreciated I am stumped!

I had a tt done on Nov 27th 2009, there is no pain, but extremely swollen tight on my belly continuously. Scar was healing nice and quick. 18st day later I had a fever for one day and two nights, but my incision no redness or harden related to a sign of infection. On 21st day the dark red liquid leaked through my incision, I used a few cotton pads to dry it out. Later on the day leaked more, I used 15 pads to dry and some pressure on it to make it stop. Next day amount of good 6-8oz of dark red liquid squirted out and continue leaking from one hole to two...now I have 6 holes of leakage. Two weeks after the leakage (45th day) got infected. Dr. prescribed a Septra and antibiotic ointment. Now most part of incision ripped opened. The result from a TC scan, there is approximately a one litter of fluid still remain.
I can only cry, so worry. My kids need me to be there for them. My general surgeon would treat me either put the tube to drain or cut to drain, and will leave a big long cut open to heal. that's scar me the most. What would most Dr. treat the case like mine? Am I going to live for my kid? I need to hear from other Dr. Please.What most Dr. would treat an after tt infected and incision pops opened?


text: My colleague Shelley Hutchins wrote a fine story on the just-completed restoration of Mies van der Rohe's Villa Tugendhat. Here's a slideshow of addtional images. No matter how well I know the timeline of modernism, I'm still amazed that the language was so fully developed more than 80 years ago. And this house's history--its owners left it fleeing the Nazis--is a reminder that the movement emerged and matured in cataclysm. --b.d.s.

Nic Sauve:
Nic Sauve is a French Canadian rail machine, but even machines need a little maintenance sometimes. In this edit, Nic mixes a couple hammers with some sentimental testimonial regarding his injury while filming for this contest, and the risks associated with getting after it so early in the season. This clip probably won't win it for Nic, but it's worth a watch for the pro's perspective alone.
Pat Moore:
The ginger juggernaut is at it again. Granite Stater Pat Moore might be made of stone, because in his one-minute-and-sixteen second segment, Pat stacks some serious shit and puts down some heavy hammers. From two-story frontside inverts to front fives on street features as big as park jumps, Pat puts together a promising part that might be enough to win him $50,000.
Jed Anderson:
If this contest were based solely on style, Jed Anderson would likely win. As who may be possibly the best jibber alive at the moment, Jed's edit features tech tricks done proper, as he strayed from the building-to-building jumping that some of his peers have progressed to. However, about forty seconds in, Jed steps to a blue rail atop a mall roof that's a few dozen feet off the ground, but it's his frontside invert over a heating vent that went over very well in the SNOWBOARDER camp. Check out Jed's edit here.
Scott Stevens:
Scott Stevens might have the best board control in snowboarding and his unique approach to strapping in (or not) have made him one of the most popular riders alive. Tricks like one-foot tailpress laybacks on picnic tables and nosepress frontflips have catapulted Scott into international fame, and now, in his first Real Snow appearance, he's put together a banger segment that might be worthy of your vote. You decide. Check it out.
Bode Merrill:
When it comes to all-around riding, Bode Merrill is quite possibly the best in the world right now, and like his double-song ender in Absinthe's latest release Twe12ve, the Merrill mixes his profound jumping and jibbing abilities in the street. In this Real Snow offering, Bode unstraps his back foot and gaps out to a concrete ledge, boardslides an overhead concrete C-ledge, and throws in a double backie ender, just for good measure.
Dan Brisse:
Last year's win in this event garnered Brisse $50,000 cash, and the Minnesota madman is at it again and looking to make it an even hundred. Dan has single-handedly revolutionized urban riding with his balls-out approach to terrifying features, routinely riding street features that most wouldn't (and couldn't) comprehend riding away from. In this edit, watch Brisse Miller Flip into a concrete down ledge, front board down an elephantine kink, frontside 450 onto a double set down rail, and redirect off a three story building. Brisse is a beast, and this proves the point.
Louif Paradis:
Last year, Louif Paradis unveiled some new tricks in his Real Snow segment that got him a second-place finish, and this year, ol' Lou is at it again. Hailing from the Quebéc region of our neighbor to the north, Loiuf came up with the likes of Nic Sauve, LNP, Alex Cantin, and a handful of other French Canadian killers, and now, he stands as one of the preeminent rail riders of the new generation thanks to his keen eye for unique features and a fluidity that can't be imitated. Wait until the last few clips to see Louif revolutionize urban riding yet again with some wallride to rail transfers that will make you press rewind a few times, as well as a boardslide to nosepress on a kink, and a Scott Stevens-esque nosepress frontflip.
Halldór Helgason:
Iceland's favorite son Halldór Helgason won the X Games Big Air a few years ago with a first-ever perfect score of 100 in a live TV event in front of millions of viewers, and now, he's been invited to try his hand at fifty g's in the Real Snow competition. Halldór's filmer Johannes Brenning takes a different approach to documenting Helgason's urban exploits with the use of a remote control helicopter that provides a cool angle on some even cooler tricks. From his backside 50-50 infini-kink opener to his backside 1080 ender, Halldór's edit is compelling. And yes, we just said backside 1080.

"Had some fun with the new beta photo editor on Catster."
Today is my Gotchya day! I have been with my family for 3 years!
I cant wait to see what today holds.
Nana had an angiogram done this past wednesday. She had good news too. The blood vessel is only 50% blocked instead of 90%. They still need her to be on some blood thinners for the rest of her life to prevent it from getting worse but this is much better news so we are excited about that. Thank you all for your POTP, I truly believe that POTP works even on our humans.
AnnaBelle and I have been "On Duty" watching over all our humans latley. AnnaBelle's mommy Sarah had her kidney rocks blasted on Friday so shes still sore but not in the screaming crying pain she was in. Im either laying on Nana's legs to remind her to rest or on Sarahs legs to comfort her and snuggle. Our human Jmatt had that surgery on his tailbone to have the big cyst removed early in July and the wound is still on its way to healing up. Its not painful anymore, just a nuisance. Hes not cleared to go back to work yet. So its been a furry busy summer with everyone taking their turn in the hospital being sick.
Stay healthy and stay mischievous my friends!
POTP needed for one of my humans.
One of MY HUMANS- Nana- had a mini stroke on tuesday.

Posted by Tom Grant on July 27, 2010
Today's a very exciting day for me. As you know, I'm a member of a team of Forrester analysts who write research specifically for product marketers and product managers in the tech industry. A few weeks ago, we launched a community for product marketers and product managers. Now, we're bringing those two activities together by including our PM community in every stage of a research project. Plus, we're using an Agile approach. And you're all invited.
(Role-based research. The voice of the customer, expressed loudly and regularly through social media. Agile as the vehicle for applying what customers say to the product we're developing, in the most rapid and substantive way possible. I guess we do read our own research.)
What's The Topic?
We've yet to meet a product marketer or product manager who isn't interested in thought leadership, given its attractiveness and elusiveness. Gaining recognition as a thought leader is only the first step. Having achieved that exalted status, how do vendors convert thought leadership into tangible business benefits?
For our first venture into this new research approach, thought leadership was an easy choice of topic: important, popular, practical, and manageable.
Where Does The Community Fit In?
The community has a bigger role to play in this project than just suggesting a topic. We need your suggestions and feedback throughout the entire research process, from inception to publication. For example, before doing the primary research, we'll draft a list of interview questions. Since thought leadership has no end of interesting aspects, we want to make sure that the questions we ask go straight to the issues that matter most to product marketers and product managers. Here are but a few examples:

In 1914, its would have been hard to have made a grander entrance on the boulevard than in this Mercedes 22/50PS Town Car.
It made an equally grand entrance as Mystery Car 11, and became the first Mystery Car to confound our experts -- all of you. Several good guesses out on the Forum had it as a Rolls, but alas, it's not. Of course, it was kind of hard to tell anyway from a rear view only.
Our Mercedes' background goes like this: With several European heads of state driving Mercedes cars, the U.S. was the next natural market. It is believed that this car was imported as a chassis and fittede with a body at Brewster & Co. on Long Island. It was pretty fast for its day, with a 50 horsepower, four cylinder engine and a four-speed transmission. It was titled as a 1910, but is actually believed by the experts to hail from 1914. That's all according to RM Auctions, which put it on the block earlier this year. It didn't meet the minimum bid.

The nerves don't send a signal to the muscles so the muscles start dying off. I try to execise every day on my elyptical machine and go for walks as much as I can to try and keep some muscle tone but at times the leg just gives out and down I go . I have ended up tearing up my left shoulder from falling down the stairs at home. I would suggest more follow up with his doctor or ask for a second opinion.

Math Whammy Review
Math Whammy is a review game created my Heather Hart. She presented it at a NCTM conference some years ago, and it has been a favorite of mine ever since. All you need is a Whammy Game Board, and a set of dice labeled 1-6, and A thru F. You will also need lots of junk to use for prizes when you play. You will notice on the game board that the game calls for prizes of pencils, pens, papers, stickers, candy, etc. I just use the old pencils and pens, left behind in my classroom...paper that I want to recycle...real pennies....candy or gum...paper clips...old school pictures of myself...and any fun things I pick up at conferences as fun prizes. Divide your class up into teams made up of 3-4 students each. I put review problems on the screen and students work together in their group to solve. All students are to work out the problem and agree on an answer before one of the team members comes to my desk. They take turns doing this. If correct, the students roll the dice for prizes. Prizes are saved until the end of class in case a team has to return a prize. If their answer is wrong, they have to give one of their prizes back- and they get to choose which one to give back. The fun thing about this game is that if a person lands on Whammy, the team has to give all of the prizes back that their team has accumulated throughout the class. There are lots of "Whammys" on the board, so there is lots of risk involved. When they land on Prize, they get to select any prize that I have put out. Lots of fun for everyone- and a great chance to review for tests.

Globalising policy sociology in education: working with Bourdieu
Lingard, Bob, Rawolle, Shaun, & Taylor, Sandra C. (2005) Globalising policy sociology in education: working with Bourdieu. Journal of Education Policy, 20(6), pp. 759-777.
|PDF (79kB)
The paper uses Bourdieu to develop theorising about policy processes in education and to extend the policy cycle approach in a time of globalisation. Use is made of Bourdieu's concept of social field and the argument is sustained that in the context of globalisation, the field of educational policy has reduced autonomy, with enhanced cross-field effects in educational policy production, particularly from the fields of the economy and journalism. Given the social rather than geographical character of Bourdieu's concept of social fields, it is also argued that the concept can be, and indeed has to be, stretched beyond the nation to take account of the emergent global policy field in education. Utilising Bourdieu's late work on the globalisation of the economy through neo-liberal politics, we argue that a non-reified account of the emergent global educational policy field can be provided.

Alan Pardew gave his press conference yesterday for the game at Manchester United tomorrow, and he seemed upbeat after the hard-fought win against QPR, which we really needed, and he said it would be a busy Christmas Day for the manager and his players.
Papiss Cisse – work-rate praised by the manager
Newcastle will have a morning training session to prepare for the game at the Red Devils and then they will spend some time with their families before they board the plane to take them to Manchester for the game tomorrow afternoon, which has a normal 3:00 pm kickoff.
And Alan was asked about Papiss Cisse, who seemed visibly frustrated at being taken off amid boos from the Newcastle crowd on Saturday, but the Newcastle manager has paid tribute to Cisse's work-rate, although the goals are not there this season – so far – with only four goals in all competitions for the Senegal captain.
But Alan Pardew said there were reasons for that:
"I think Papiss is just a victim of our injury program, if I'm honest" "Without Ben Arfa and Cabaye we've lacked a bit of flair and quality in the final third and of course if you've got that it creates moments for Papiss to finish."
"He hasn't had a lot moments in games but his work-rate, his commitment to the cause, cannot be faulted and we continue to work with him and hopefully he'll get the goals soon."
It's going to be a tough game tomorrow afternoon, and we have a feeling that Shola Ameobi and Gabby Obertan will start the game, and maybe even Sylvain Marveaux, and it looks like the reliable and solid James Perch will fill in for the absent Cheick Tiote, who is banned from this game because he picked up his fifth booking against QPR.
We don't really expect too much out of this game, but we want to see a fighting performance from our lads and some solid and determined defensive play.
Comments welcome.

2014 Horizon League Track & Field Championships Results - Final
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio— The 2014 Horizon League Outdoor Track & Field Championships came to a close at Farmers National Bank Field on the campus of Youngstown State University.
Youngstown State walked away with the women's title with 185 points, while Detroit placed second with 116 points. It's the Penguin's seventh women's league title in school history.
Entering the second to last event of the championship, the 5,000-meter run, the Youngstown State men trailed Milwaukee 178-173 points. The Youngstown State duo of Eric Rupe and Austin McLean finished 1-2 and the Penguins took a 14 point lead heading into the final event of the night, the 4x400 meter relay.
In the 4x400-meter relay, the Panther team of Jordan Schmidt, Dexter Schleis, Davontae Johnson and Marquis Johnson took first-place, but the Panthers came up 10 points short, 199-189.
Prior to Youngstown State's victory, Milwaukee captured the last 10 men's league championships and 15 out of the last 16. Detroit is the only other league school to win a championship, which came in 2003.
In the very first event of the day, Connor Neu of Youngstown State got things started with a league record in the men's hammer throw. His toss of 64.22 meters smashed the old league record of 61.52 meters, set in 2008 by Steve Bartholomew of Valparaiso. In the women's hammer throw, Nancy Harmon of Milwaukee took home top honors with a throw of 55.63 meters.
In the triple jump, Seyi Ogunleye of UIC took first-place with a mark of 14.49 meters. On the women's side, Sherice Hewett of Milwaukee registered a jump of 12.35 meters, good for first-place. In the high jump, Sharon Mwale of UIC took first-place with a jump of 1.66 meters.
In the 4x100-meter relay, the Milwaukee team of Anthony Leavy, Matt Ferry, D. Johnson and Washington Farrington crossed the finish line first in a time of 41.60 seconds. In the women's 4x100 relay, Milwaukee's Anuli Okonkwo, Sherice Hewett, CherRay Dixon and Kate Novacek took first with a time of 46.89 seconds.
Tony Sustachek of Milwaukee and Rupe battled in the 1,500-meter run, with Sustachek narrowly edging Rupe 3:58.15 to 3:58.34. On the women's side, Detroit's Louisa Coppola cruised to first-place with a time of 4:32.01.
In the 110-meter hurdles, Durell Busby of Milwaukee captured his third Horizon League Outdoor Track & Field 110-meter title. His blistering time of 13.88 seconds topped the league record he set in 2012.
Serena SanCartier of Oakland and Sarah-Ann Blount of Wright State crossed the finish line in a dead heat in the 100-meter hurdles. In a rare case, both runners registered the exact same time, 14.534, to tie for first.
Sophomore M. Johnson defended his title in the 400-meter dash. Johnson finished with a time of 47.71 seconds. Fellow Panther Anuli Okonkwo took first in the women's 400-meter dash, registering a time of 55.70 seconds.
Detroit finished 1-2 in the men's 100-meter dash. Brandon Wilks narrowly edged out teammate Charles Anthony to take home top honors. The freshman registered a time of 10.70, good for a .02 second victory.
Sophomore Nina Grambling defended her title in the 100-meter dash, clipping Wright State's Kacia Grant by .01 seconds. Grambling finished the race in 11.91 seconds.
In the 800-meter run, Christopher Scott of Oakland finished in first-place with a time of 1:54.12. Dana Clausen of Milwaukee took home top honors on the women's side, crossing the finish line in 2:16.64.
Schmidt of Milwaukee registered a victory in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 51.75 seconds. His time broke the league record set Schleis in 2012. Schleis finished the event in second-place.
In the women's 400-meter hurdles, Michelle Garner of Milwaukee finished first with a time of 1:00.80.
Detroit's Anthony turned in a first-place performance in the 200-meter dash. His time of 21.70 seconds was good for a .10 second victory over Milwaukee's M. Johnson. Grambling took first-place on the women's side with a time of 24.44 seconds.
In the women's 4x400 relay, Brandee Hart, Alani Letang, Shannon Marchant and Jasmine Greene of Detroit placed first with a time of 3:53.85.
Samantha Hamilton capped off her league career with a victory in the 5,000 meter run. Her time of 17:32.19 was good for a 4.77 second victory over Louisa Coppola of Detroit.

San Francisco Law Firms Abandon Merger TalksBy
Easy come, easy go: A proposed merger of San Francisco law firms Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe and Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman was called off Monday, a little more than a month after the firms said they were considering a deal. A joint statement by the firms' chairmen emphasized the "enormous respect" the two sides have for each other. Not much had changed, apparently, from the "great respect" they expressed back in October when acknowledging that exploratory talks were underway—except for client conflicts.
According to Orrick's Mitchell Zuklie and Pillsbury's James Rishwain, conflicts between Orrick's public finance practice—which has handled the financings for the Golden Gate Bridge and Los Angeles International Airport, among others—and Pillsbury's tax, environmental, and real estate practice ultimately derailed the plan. "Large law firm combinations are always complex, and both our firms are disappointed that we could not clear the way for a merger," the statement said.
Orrick Pillsbury—they had already settled on a name—would have ranked as one of the 10 largest firms in the U.S., with roughly 1,600 lawyers. Orrick has about 1,000 lawyers, and in 2012 it brought in revenue of $866 million, according to figures from The American Lawyer. Pillsbury's 600 lawyers earned $561 million in revenue last year.
So we're left with one less merger for the year, and it is one that some experts and observers found puzzling in the first place. Here were two firms with strong roots and operations in northern California and with many shared practice strengths. The appeal of gaining access and cross-selling to new markets—a key factor in more than half of today's announced law firm mergers—wasn't immediately apparent in this proposal. Was the interest in growth for growth's sake?
Whatever the strategy, in the end, no amount of mutual admiration was enough to make it work.

First off what you want to use is a fast reducer for that temp, I don't know what kind of paint you are using but if you get the product info sheet for the brand your using with the s/s it should tell you in there what your dry time to clear will be. As far as getting the paint to flow the way you want, there are a lot of variables with your air pressure settings and fluid control. The big part of that too comes with gun distance and speed. I don't know what kind of lighting you have in there but get as much as you can so you can see exactly how the paint is laying down on the truck as your spraying it. When I spray in the colder weather I usually go a little more on the flash times because it wont dry as fast in the cold and that's where you will get a lot of runs, because your loading up coat after coat that has not properly flashed of yet. Pay close attention to how the paint is laying down on the work. If you can see exactly what is happening as the paint is coming out of the gun, then you can adjust your distance and speed accordingly. My best advice would be is get a large panel like an old hood or something, stand it up and practice with your distance and speed on something like that.

What's Your Status on New EPA Rules?
February 24, 2010
THE TALK... | Operations
Seaway Manufacturing, an Erie, Pa., based window manufacturer, reports it offered the EPA lead paint training classes to 36 installers from its dealer network in January, with 24 currently signed up for a February session. Other manufacturers, no doubt, have offered similar training programs. Many window and door dealers have pursued the soon-to-be-required training through other channels.
About two months from now, the new EPA rules for contractors working in pre-1978 homes are scheduled to go in effect. But how far do we still have to go in meeting that timeline? That's the subject of our poll question of the week. A similar poll taken in December, by the way, revealed less than half of our readers were even aware of the pending EPA rules. Let's hope some progress has been made.
Whatever progress has been made, organizations like the National Association of Home Builders and the Window & Door Dealers Alliance are looking for a delay in implementation dates. They are contacting representatives and others with the message that the industry just isn't ready yet. What do you think? Is that a good idea? Are other changes to the rules needed? Email me and share your thoughts.

check the firing pin, could be a defective one.
got a strange issue with a DPMS bolt.
i did the 15min trigger mod to a few of my shooters --all of um seem fine "Except" one.
this one unit gets a few soft primer hits on hard Russian primers, i like thinking "it has to be the trigger mod" so i slap a fresh spring in there --and go back to shooting and after a few rounds --it is getting dented primers along with the FTF.
i collect the rounds that dented and put them in another ar-15 with the trigger/spring mod and they all go bang-bang!-- im thinking WTF is going on here?
-- i am running a new bolt a DPMS -- i wonder if there is an issue with its OAL and the firing pin travel is too short?
this seems like the exact problem you run into on a 7.62x39 conversion with its deep set primers--
i think i am going to relieve the bolt a little on the back and see if that helps any--
check the firing pin, could be a defective one.
might be a short FP-- i'll have to check. it ain't had any issues before--might be an ammo issue too as i think it was some wally-world tula having the issue--
I had a DPMS 308 that had a real tight hole for the firing pin and would act like that when shooting dirty ammo,,and the last time I used Tula ammo BTW. I redrilled the hole .002 bigger and no issues after. The firing pin and hole in the bolt were very close in size and it only took a couple mags to start getting FTF's with Tula ammo.
A possible cause, check that first if you're using Tula regularly. Hope that does it. Mine was a 20" target model with tighter tolerance's though.
I had a aftermarket mag holding up the bolt in its travel yesterday
did you use the same mag in the second AR?? or did you just fire the lightly struck round in the second rifle?
similar problems but it was the mags ( aftermarket)
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
when checking a failure to fire i always go to a good u.s. ammo like remington, federal, winchester, or american eagle and see if it works great. russian and the like has always put out crappy ammo. do you have a primer depth checker?
i'm still messing with it.
when i put another BCG in the rifle it seemed to work fine with the bent spring mod hammer and trigger springs --no FTFs
haven't had time to try it again with the DPMS bolt -- i did swap in another firing pin and did a light relief inside the bolt firing pin hole and got a tiny bit more travel.
could be an ammo problem --seems like every time i run tula 223 some new "thing" pops up.
haven't had any problems with their 7.62x39 9mm or 45acp so far--
i did fire some bear and wolf the other day-- no hiccups--when i get a chance -- i'll try the DPMS bolt again with the tula
yea there was a depth problem with firing pin travel the FP was short .045" in travel and the hammer spring was defective -- i'm trying to decide where that spring came from-- i think it was from SARCO. i also have a "mystery" defective port cover that keeps bending-- i think it came from SARCO as well--
i have stopped getting small parts from SARCO since i discovered the defective parts stick to JSE,midway,brownells,PSA and quality vendors from now on--
i don't think the DPMS bolt was off enough to cause the problem with a good hammer spring--
