Good Thread Wyoming.
I read it a couple of times to envision the full scenario.
That went down pretty doggone fine for the Good Guys!
This is a discussion on Lead and diamonds: the Richmond jewelry store shootout [Blast from the Past] within the In the News: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly forums, part of the The Back Porch category; Situation: Two particularly brutal and heavily armed criminals hit an upscale jewelry store--and meet a firestorm of armed citizen resistance.

Situation: Two particularly brutal and heavily armed criminals hit an upscale jewelry store--and meet a firestorm of armed citizen resistance.
Lesson: Sound planning beats seasoned perpetrators. Sometimes, the more firepower you have, the better. The best cops in the world can't help you if they aren't right there, right now.
December 2, 1994. William "Pappy" Head, 71, and Thomas Jefferson Salter, 56, are what today's young predators would call "OGs"--"Old Gangsters." Pappy is a known hit man, on parole after serving only a year of a five year sentence for conspiracy to commit murder, and both have a long history of robbing banks and jewelry stores. Salter has told his son he does it for the adrenaline rush. Both are members of a loose-knit gang of all-white robbers, killers and dope-runners known in the deep South as the Dixie Mafia.
Their target is Beverly Hills Jewelers, an upscale shop within sight of the Henrico County Police Department and the local FBI office on the outskirts of Richmond, Virginia. The store has already been cased for them the previous September by crooked carnival workers tied to the Dixie Mafia, when they were in town for a fair. It looks fat and easy. Pappy unlimbers his double-barrel, 12 gauge sawed-off shotgun and Tom draws one of the two handguns tucked in his belt, a 1911 .45 auto. They roll ski masks down over their faces and burst through the door.
They don't know that when they emerge, they'll be wearing body bags instead of ski masks.
In his mid-forties, married with four kids, storeowner Gary Baker was not a man who took chances. This was why he had situated his jewelry store in one of the lower crime suburbs of the area, the Wistar Mall on Staples Mills Road. The interior had the showcases laid out in a squared-off horseshoe pattern, reasonably well secured from unauthorized entry behind the counters. At the back of the store, the office area was elevated, offering a view of the store proper but shielded by an invisible steel-walled partition that Baker has designed himself.
A shooter since boyhood, Baker always snorted at police handouts that told merchants to surrender to armed robbers and put themselves at their mercy rather than resist. Not long before, it became apparent that an anti-gun governor was going to ramrod through a "one gun a month" law in Virginia. It seemed like a good idea to stock up. Baker had purchased eleven Rossi .38 Specials, five-shot snubbies, and laid them out at ten foot intervals behind the counters, invisible to the public but readily accessible to staff. All were loaded with Remington 125 grain semi-jacketed hollow points. He wanted simple "point and shoot" guns that all worked the same, and could be easily deployed under stress. In addition, he secreted his own Remington 870 12 gauge pump gun where he could reach it near the door to his office. Under one back counter, as incongruous among the little matte blue .38s as the Great Dane among the wiener dogs in the Disney flick "The Ugly Dachshund," lay a stainless steel Ruger Super Blackhawk single a ction .44 Magnum with ten-inch barrel.
Gary had hoped that he would never need these guns. But this morning, he would be glad he put them in place.
It's a quarter past ten AM, fifteen minutes after opening, when the two men rush through the door wearing ski masks. One is physically huge, pulling along a wheeled suitcase with one hand and wielding what Gary recognizes as a blue steel Army .45 automatic in the other. The second, average-sized, stands a few steps inside the doorway with a sawed-off shotgun. "You don't believe it's happening," Gary will say in a guest lecture to one of my LFI classes later. "It takes a few moments for the reality to sink in." The one with the pistol is rapidly moving up the aisle toward him, screaming, "We're here to clean you out!" The man with the shotgun fires a blast into a display case, and the employee behind that counter dives to the floor.
The reality has sunk in. Gary Baker's hand closes over the rubbery stock of a Rossi .38.
The fight is on.
War On Two Fronts
Massively muscled from years of pumping iron in prison, Thomas Salter easily leaps to the top of the four-foot counter at the left rear of the store as it faces the street. Directly ahead of him and slightly above is Gary Baker, who simply raises his right arm to eye level, directs the .38 at the masked giant's chest, and fires three fast shots. Within a heartbeat Gary's younger brother Charlie has also seized a Rossi .38 and, firing in the exact same stance, pumps three more shots at Salter from the criminal's left side.
The big ex-con pitches forward and falls behind the counter. He sprawls next to a female employee who has already hit the floor, with a Rossi .38 in one of her hands and her other hand stabbing at the holdup button, the silent alarm. She brings the gun to bear on the fallen gunman to protect herself, his masked face inches away from hers, but she realizes that he is not moving and holds her fire.
Meanwhile, on the other end of the store at the public's entrance, the second half of the armed robbery problem remains to be solved. Pappy Head points his sawed-off down the aisle at Gary and cuts loose. His wide-spreading swath of double ought buckshot goes wild.
But not the storeowner's return shots. The distance is some 40 feet and now Gary Baker takes careful aim, aligning the tiny sights of the revolver, and rolls off the last two shots in the cylinder. Pappy Head ducks behind a solid corner at the store's center island, a square of four showcases, and screams, "I'm hit!"
Charlie Baker fires at him, but without effect, and his .38 goes dry. Another employee hands him the big single-action .44. It occurs to Charlie that between the accuracy of its long barrel, adjustable sights and the barricade-penetrating power of its Remington 240 grain Magnum semi-jacketed hollow point bullets, this revolver might let him reach the well-covered gunman. He fires four shots.
Nothing has changed. Setting down the Ruger, Charlie seizes the nearest fully-loaded Rossi and moves forward across the back wall behind the counter. He has to step over the prone employee and the downed Salter to do it, and lie also crosses his brother's field of fire. Both Bakers are alert enough not to endanger the other.
Gary has dropped the empty .38 and grabbed his Remington 870. Now, as they face the second threat with the shotgun, Charlie is on the left with a .38 extended to arm's length and Gary is above and behind him, to his right, with the shotgun. They have the remaining gunman triangulated. Charlie orders the surviving criminal to surrender and throw his gun out. Head yells back that he's giving up and that he's going to toss out the shotgun. The Baker brothers hope that it's over, that the killing will end here.
But they don't know what a stone killer they're up against. Pappy Head has been trying to lull them off guard, and now he shoves the sawed-off out past his cover and fires at Gary, who can't get a clean shot at him at this angle. Charlie opens fire furiously, his gun extended in a right hand only position, looking over the sights and aligning it on Pappy's position and firing double action as fast as he can pull the trigger, moving down the counter toward the deadly gunman. The gun clicks dry. He snatches up another, empties it, drops it, picks up another, and continues, a relentless drumbeat of gunfire with one Rossi .38 after another as he closes rapidly on the threat. He is trying to stop Head with bullets, and if he can't do that, at least pin him down to where Head can't shoot at his brother anymore.
Pappy Head ducks out and fires another blast, this time at Charlie. The younger Baker is ducking down to retrieve a fresh revolver from behind the counter, and this saves his life. He feels and hears the buckshot go past his head. For Charlie Baker, fear has already coalesced into a controlled but white-hot anger. He picks up this next .38 and pumps more lead at the man who has tried to murder both him and his brother, still running forward toward the danger, closing the gap, trying to get an angle on Head where he can deliver a stopping shot.
Meanwhile, Gary Baker can see the shotgun blast directed at his brother, and the Remington 870 is already at his shoulder, and now that Pappy has raised his gun above the counter to aim at Charlie, Gary has a clear shot at him at last. Sighting carefully down the barrel, he squeezes the trigger. The gunman's head and shoulders disappear, and Gary pumps two more loads of double ought at the same place, just hoping to keep him down and prevent him from shooting Charlie.
But, from his position on the side, the advancing younger brother has seen what Gary could not. He has seen the buckshot hit the gunman in the head, seen him go down. But is he down in a prone shooting position and only wounded, playing possum again? Charlie can't tell, and it's no time to take chances. He shoots Pappy Head, now that he has advanced forward enough to have a clear target, and shoots him again. The masked man with the shotgun is now lying very still.
Charlie grabs a fresh revolver and covers Pappy. Gary shucks an empty shell out of the 870 and chambers another round of buckshot. He moves forward. Stepping past the downed Salter, he is struck by the man's imposing size. "My God," he thinks, "one of his legs is bigger than both of mine?' Another employee is beside him with the Super Blackhawk, which still holds two live rounds. "Cover him," Gary snaps. "Shoot him if he moves." Gary advances down the aisle toward Head's position. Behind him, he hears a very loud gunshot.
Thomas Salter has moved. The employee has done as instructed. Salter isn't moving any longer.
Now Gary and Charlie are both above Pappy Head, covering him. There had been almost no blood visible on the first gunman, but this one's masked face lies in a crimson puddle. They can see that it's over.
The response to the Holdup Buttons has been swift. The first Henrico officer to enter the store takes in the scene, a masked man with a sawed-off dead, almost at his feet and a man in a suit and tie standing over him with a Remington 870 similar to the one the officer himself is issued. The cop says softly, laconically, "It looks as if you have things under control."
Gary Baker is shocked at the words, but pleasantly so. He has heard horror stories about armed citizens being crucified for defending themselves. He asks, "Do you want to take my gun?" The cop shrugs and replies, "If you want." Gary hands him the Remington, and steps outside into the cool fresh air. He has a sudden, desperate urge for a cigarette.
Short Term Aftermath
Thomas Salter and William Head were pronounced dead of multiple gunshot wounds at the scene. The criminal justice system instantly recognized the shooting as a justifiable homicide. No civil lawsuits were ever filed in the matter.
Toward the end of the shootout, Gary Baker noted his left hand was bleeding. He had been hit by a stray buckshot pellet from Head's sawed-off, which he believes may have been a ricochet. The laceration was treated at the scene by a responding paramedic, who told Gary he would need to get to the emergency room for treatment. He never got around to it, and the minor injury healed uneventfully.
Altered perceptions such as auditory muting and altered perceptions of time are experienced by a majority of gunfight survivors, and that was true here. Gary remembers hearing the gunshots but not being bothered by their loudness, and one of his strongest memories is the eerie silence between shots in the high-volume firefight. Charlie tells me he was aware of the gunfire, but also aware it seemed muted and that his ears did not ring after it was over. Gary said the gunfight felt as if it lasted at least two minutes, while Charlie perceived it to have happened very quickly, probably thirty and no more than forty seconds from first shot to last.
The exact count of the gunshots fired is unclear, but it is well over thirty. Greater Richmond is a high crime area, and the police see no need to waste limited resources gathering artifacts from closed cases. Having quickly determined the only crimes at this shooting scene were armed robbery, aggravated assault, and attempted murder by Head and Salter, and that these crimes were cleared by their deaths, authorities swiftly closed the case. Evidence became simply artifacts. There was no need for an official, detailed reconstruction.
Multiple showcases were shattered in the exchange of gunfire, as was frontal window glass. No innocent persons were harmed by any of the shots, save for Gary Baker's minor hand laceration from one of Head's buckshot pellets, though two unoccupied cars parked outside were hit. The store was a crime scene that belonged to the police until mid-afternoon. Workmen stayed until two AM the next day replacing broken glass and squaring away blood-soaked carpeting. After re-entering, Gary noticed white powder all over everything. It took him a while to realize that it wasn't fingerprint powder, but dust from the suspended ceiling that had been knocked loose by the concussion of the intense gunfire. The following morning, Beverly Hills Jewelers was open for business as usual.
Experts in "post shooting trauma" tell us that after even the most righteous shooting, we can expect periods of sleeplessness and also the "Mark of Cain Syndrome," a sociological phenomenon in which your having killed someone becomes the defining thing about you as you are seen by others. Gary spent a sleepless night on his front porch, protecting his family with a .357 Magnum in his lap, because by now he had learned the men he and his brother had killed belonged to the Dixie Mafia. It took him a while to be convinced that unlike the real Mafia, these gang members cared only about themselves. Like Pappy Head, they were more likely to murder one another than they were to hunt down someone who had killed one of their own in self-defense. Eventually, the brothers learned to rest easy. There were no reprisals.
Much media attention came their way, and the Bakers became reluctant celebrities. Neither of the brothers welcomed it. Charlie avoided it studiously -- to the best of my knowledge, his interview with me was the first time he has told his perspective of the incident to a writer. Gary felt that having guns had saved the lives of himself, his brother, and his staff, and that he owed a duty to talk about the importance of the right to bear arms. He has since been written up in many venues and discussed the matter on TV and radio.
The employee who shot the downed Thomas Salter with the .44 Magnum when he moved will not be named here. Within 24 hours of the shooting, he called police to "confess" that he had shot a helpless man in the back. The police gently explained to him that shooting a violent, armed criminal when he makes a movement consistent with going for a gun is not a crime. Salter was lying on his .45 the entire time. The Baker brothers did not know that Salter had been carrying a second gun until a friend among the authorities told Charlie it had been discovered on his person when the corpse was undressed. Autopsy reportedly indicated that Salter was already dead when the .44 slug hit him, and that the movement the employee saw was almost certainly a post-agonal response ("death throes," in lay terminology), but in any case, he did no wrong in firing under the circumstances.
When I toured the shootout scene in September 2002, I was struck by the fact that bullet damage was still evident in the store. Discreet surveillance camcorders are now in place, but no video exists of the shootout. The brothers differ in their feelings about this. Gary says, "It's just as well. I wouldn't want my wife to see a videotape of me shooting a human being, and, if the outcome had gone the other way, I certainly wouldn't have wanted her to ever have to look at that." Charlie says, "If it had been captured on videotape, it would probably be useful for training people and waking people up. Frankly, I've never seen anything like it."
Long Term Aftermath
The Baker brothers are in their early fifties now. They hope there will be no repeat of this incident, but they don't take chances. There are even more guns in the store than before. Gary keeps a long barreled Dan Wesson .357 Magnum on his desk and carries a Smith & Wesson in the same caliber. He wasn't impressed with the number of .38 Special rounds it took to drop big Tom Salter.
Charlie Baker can't remember how many revolvers he went through in the gunfight. He sequentially fired at least five and possibly six Rossi .38s in the shootout, plus the .44 Magnum. Most were run dry, but he fired only four rounds from the .44 and only four from at least one of the Rossis. Charlie now owns a higher capacity 9mm auto that is often within his reach.
The incident made national news, and the papers made it sound as if every single employee had opened fire on the robbers. In fact, of the six or seven personnel counting the owner, only the Baker brothers actively engaged in the gunfight, with one employee firing one shot in the immediate aftermath. However, all but one employee did at least draw a gun during the incident.
There have been no further attempted robberies at Beverly Hills Jewelers.

I found myself reading back through each line and then going back and re-reading. I could picture the entire layout in my mind. Interesting. I have a friend who owns a small jewelry store. He has a similiar setup on a smaller scale.
Excellent - excellent! The first time I have read this. 11 Rossi's eh - good thinking indeed.
I do love a happy ending!

I remember this incident. What struck me at the time was how the two robbers, obviously criminals, were referred to in the local paper, a conservative rag in most respects, as victims. I was amazed that with such a concentrated firefight, there weren't more injuries. Here in Richmond, we didn't get some of the details that appear in the story, thanks for sharing.

Published: November 8, 2011 at 9:39 AMThese new attractions seem really interesting. I'm looking forward to Freshwater Oasis at Discovery Cove - my favourite stop on any Orlando vacation. Wading through a tropical rainforest with monkeys messing around overhead sounds mesmerising.
TurtleTrek also sounds exciting and I hope it's like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcTFDK4AuNg&feature=related
Dragon's Theatre in the City of Dreams, Macau is also a 360 degree theatre on a much larger scale compared to the King Kong attraction. If this is SeaWorld's direction then I'm really excited to see the finished product.
Orlando looks to be getting a much needed injection that began with Harry Potter. Thanks IOA (didn't think I would ever say that) for making the other parks really up their game.
Published: November 8, 2011 at 10:30 AMSan Diego already has the penguin and turtle exhibits, but the new 3D show in Orlando is an improvement. These exhibits are merely filling a gap. I'm not sure they will attract new patrons.
Published: November 8, 2011 at 10:44 AMInteresting? Yes. Something I would see? Excluding the penguin exhibit, nope.
Published: November 8, 2011 at 11:35 AMSo there weren't things like this already? No wonder why I never went.
But to have a Disney free trip, I would have to have parks with more to do. If you ask me, each Universal park is a "half" day park, and so is Sea World. That's 1.5 days of vacation. Disney takes at least 4 days to do most of the stuff.
Published: November 8, 2011 at 11:57 AMI happen to believe that you don't need to only visit Disney when you're at Orlando. In my first trip, I did the Disney commando thing by visiting Disney for 10 whole days via length of stay pass. In my subsequent trips, I visited Disney less and less. Disney's biggest problem is WDW and Epcot are the full day parks. The other parks are half day like Animal Kingdom and Studios. However, when you compare WDW with Disneyland, the attractions are not at the same quality and quantity. I consider WDW a 3/4 day park.
Harry Potter instantly makes Universal's IOA a must see. Sea World's Discovery Cove is a compelling reason to visit, but not essential.
"What more do SeaWorld and Universal need to add?"
This is a good question. While Disney is a bit disappointing, Universal should add the Transformers. Sea World can add more predator exhibits, more dark rides, and kids friendly shows/exhibits.
Published: November 9, 2011 at 1:16 AMThis is great news. Can't wait for the new Penguin exhibits. They look way cool. Looking forward to more info on the Penguin ride. As for the 360:3-D turtle attraction. Anybody who has seen the epically awesome King Kong 360:3-D at USH, knows this technology is truly captivating.
It's always great to hear new attraction announcements.
Published: November 9, 2011 at 5:53 PM"What more do SeaWorld need to add?"
With the new Fantasyland, Legoland and Harry Potter, Sea World is facing a very strong competition for its main target, families with young children. So it should try attracting other demographics.
What about adult male looking for sex and violence????
I suggest a new orca nightly show "Nude trainers with Tilikum".
Beautiful all nude* (female) trainers inside the water with the infamous Tilikum killer (grammatically speaking) whale, in a Las Vegas style extravaganza! From the same producers of Siegfried and Roy!
To honor its former owner, Sea World will offer free Buds to anyone attending the show!
*by the way, what is the difference of "nude" and "all nude"?
Published: November 13, 2011 at 6:55 AMWow. We Win Again! First It's Potter, then it's Fantasyland, then it's Turtle, more fantasyland, Penguins galore, then Avatar! The only way we can lose is if Disney buys Universal and Seaworld... Which isn't going to happen. As for the attractions themselves. I don't have the money to go to Discovery Cove, but in ten years, maybe I'll get a really good job or something. The attraction sounds great though. The Turtle/Manatee thing sounds great. Improved exhibits are always welcome and the theater sounds great(solid C ticket?). Antarctica sounds amazing. While the penguins were already there, the improvement(I assume more animals will be there and Better exhibits) and ride sounds great(E ticket hopeful?). It seems about on par(better if you count the Discovery Cove attraction) with Harry Potter world and almost on par with Fantasyland(Better w/DC attraction)

"No Roman can survive north of the wall alone."
Film Synopsis:
In 2nd-Century Britain, A celebrated Roman soldier embarks on a dangerous quest to restore the tarnished reputation of his father and find the golden emblem that disappeared with him and thousands of troops twenty years earlier.
My Take:'The Eagle' is based on the book "The Eagle of the Ninth" written by Rosemary Sutcliff, published a half a century ago. It was one of Director Kevin Macdonald's (The Last King of Scotland) favorite stories and a film he has longed to make. The story is about Centurion Marcus Aquila (Channing Tatum) who is motived through the ranks of The Roman military by a personal crusade to clear his family's name. His father was in command of five thousand Legionnaires who disappeared in England 20 years ago. Marcus embarks on a journey to unfriendly territories with a slave/friend named Esca (Jamie Bell) to retrieve the lost legion's golden standard, the Eagle of the Ninth. The unlikely pair find themselves in hostile territory, dealing with rouge tribes out for blood as they try to gather clues about the Legion's disappearance and the the eagles whereabouts.
Though never feeling as grand in scale as epics such as Gladiator, Director Kevin Macdonald keeps things simple, focusing on our two leads, their relationship, and how they handle aversion as they journey deeper into forbidden territory. The cinematography was, at times, breathtaking, and the films pacing and directing were top notch. I could feel MacDonald's passion for the subject, but some bad delivery by Donald Sutherland (he was as bad in 2011s The Mechanic as well) and Channing Tatum hurt the film. I am not a believer in needing a name brand leading man, but the wooded Channing Tatum had absolutely no charisma or pull, other than six-pack abs that made my wife happy, but were not enough to let me forgive and forget. Thankfully the story's second fiddle, Esca was played quite will by Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot). His performance saved the film and had me caring about him more than the lead.
'The Eagle' deals with the same legend of lost legionnaires that we follow in this years "Centurion", and I must say, other than not feeling Channing Tatum can carry a film on his shoulders, I did enjoy this better. If you are a fan of films dealing with the roman empire you will find this smaller scale story refreshing, though not as fulfilling as grander titles in its genre.

Universal delivers a superb new Blu-ray release with 'The Eagle'. I found the image to be quite enjoyable, where the direction and cinematography were more concerned with mood and beauty than anything else. They succeeded and what we get is a rich presentation that is warm in hue and natural in lighting. Black levels were quite strong, exhibiting some minor crush at rare and random times. Fine details did waiver due to the artistic choices, but never does the presented image look soft or undefined. This is a very enjoyable and filmic transfer. The DTS-HD MA 5.1 track was impressive, closing in on reference quality. It handled everything with ease, from bombastic battles with room shaking LFE to defined sibilance in quiet scenes of dialogue. The surround channels were full of life, sucking the viewer into the journey. I could not find a fault in this track and recommend giving it a spin.
Bonus Features:
- Audio Commentary with Director Kevin Macdonald

Final Thoughts:
If you are a fan of films dealing with the roman empire you will find this smaller scale story refreshing, though not as fulfilling as grander titles in its genre. Universal's transfer looks and sounds great, and was fun to crank on my system. The special features are short and of no real interest and Kevin Macdonald audio commentary is super stiff, but technically interesting. 'The Eagle' has some gorgeous cinematography, an interesting story and these positives can, at times, out weigh some uninspired acting. Give it rental, it's worth a watch.

"Centurion" is faster moving, though not as deep and follows the plot of "The Most Dangerous Game" with lovely and savage Olga Kurylenko as the pursuing Picts leader. Michael Fassbender is a better actor than Channing Tatum and it would have been nice to see them switch leads. "The Eagle" would have been even better and "Centurion" just as good. The Ninth Legion has had a pretty good year in the movies and both Blu-Rays are great fun to watch.
Thanks Lee.

Was vacationing at the film locations about 6 weeks ago. Looking forward to seeing them again on film.

Tatum was also just fine in this movie -- methinks most of the people railing on that he's an awful actor haven't actually SEEN this film. He's serviceable and believable in this role anyway.
I don't lurk as much as I used to and I NEVER listen. Comes from being old and cynical.
Having watched this I would have to say that Centurion is the stronger film. This one lacks its narrative depth and stronger leading role but I agree that Tatum did just fine.

Overall my wife and I enjoyed the movie and would recommend it to others.
I haven't seen The Eagle yet, but Centurion is now one of my favourite swords and sandals films. I will be purchasing this BD title as well, as the subject/myths of the Ninth is an interesting one, even if historians are now predicting their demise occurred somwhere other than current day Scotland.

As it is, however, it just comes off kind of cliche with some really, really weak acting from Tatum. Jamie Bell was decent but that's as far as I'll go with that.
The audio was surprisingly quite good with some really nice use of LFE to support the big drums in the soundtrack. It's not an action heavy mix or film, but the ambience and life in the surrounds thoughout was well done and believable. The video was one of the weaker transfers I've seen all year. Inconsistent black levels wash out the image and obscure details. Some of the wider shots of the scenery are decent but overall this was a missed opportunity in terms of the video transfer.
I don't understand why there is a lot of positive feedback about Centurion lately (albeit usually only when comparing to truly bad movies). I found that film no better than this one and it also left a lot to be desired.

about Sanguine
Sanguine are a four piece female fronted alternative metal/rock band from Exeter, UK. First formed back in 2004 Sanguine started as a prog-rock band…Tarin explains "we knew we loved heavier music, it just took a while for us to discover who we were, we just kept getting heavier, when I first started out I didn't even scream!"
A few years later Sanguine formed the sound it is today, hard hitting driving metal and rock riffs, mixtures of melodies, vocal ranges which include screams and singing both from front-woman Tarin Kerrey and guitarist Nick Magee. Sanguine have created a new unique sound, jumping between styles their eclectic song writing keep you guessing what the next track will sound like. Nick explains "we know who we sound like, each song is like it's own world. The various styles we write in do not detract from the fact that overall our songs sound like Sanguine, no one else…we are Sanguine."
Sanguine's new album BLACK SHEEP is due for release in 2016, it features tracks co-written with Jesper Strömblad (In Flames) and produced by Daniel Flores. Already receiving rave reviews from the press the album is pushing Sanguine forward into new frontiers with the album due to be released across UK, Europe and Japan.

I was using for the last few years hostgator. It was convenient for me as I was able to use addon domains (I have 5-6 small sites and prefer to maintain them on one hosting). Until the other day when those idiots just stopped 3-4 of my domains for getting to omuch traffic. While I'm completely aware that their unlimited bandwidth is just BS I have to say I'm furious with those clowns – 2 of the domains generate like 200-300 visits per month only but they still closed them!
Long story short – I'm leaving the hostgator idiots and I'm looking for good shared hosting solution with addon domains option. Any suggestions?
Never had problems with MediaTemple myself (dv4), though it seems some users here on the forums have.
I'm using Site5 and I'm happy with it
I recommend you to take a look at http://asmallorange.com or, if you want to host WordPress websites, check out http://wpengine.com Both of them are really good solutions and their services are top-notch.
Personally, I was using Media Temple's service since 2012 but moved to Digital Ocean a couple of months ago… and I can't be happier with the change. However, Digital Ocean is better suited for people who understand how to configure a server from scratch and want full control of their machines (SSH access as a root user, so we can do anything we want) ...I definitely don't recommend their service to complete beginners.
I strongly encourage you to switch from Shared Hosting to VPS. They really worth the hassle!
Thanks guys, we are actually using digital ocean for WP but I need one for several sites I'm using
I have been using SiteGround after trying many others like MediaTemple (I also still have my MediaTemple account) and SiteGround has been really good for me and pretty inexpensive.
Thanks! I'm new to Themeforest/Envato- don't know how I never found this place before. I've been pretty dissatisfied with the long waits for customer service with Host Gator. I'm a novice and need a bit of hand holding at times, and it looks like SiteGround might be for me.

Thompson wants Goldberg removed
Jack Thompson has come to the *cough* crazy conclusion that Tom "Guns don't kill people, videogames do" Goldberg, is somehow based on him. And he's now threatening to block GTA IV's release unless the references are removed.
Goldberg is a shady lawyer who features in one of the two missions previewed by gaming magazines in July. The mission demands that Niko kills the lawyer, and Thompson believes this reference is "threatening his physical safety:"
I have this morning read with interest an article on page 80 and 81 of the September 2007 issue of Game Informer magazine which was generated when, according to its author, Rockstar Games stopped by the Game Informer offices for an impromptu hour-long gameplay session with the Xbox 360 version of the game."
The showcasing play of the game to Game Informer revealed that the first killing mission of the "hero" of the game, Niko, is to kill a certain lawyer. When Niko comes into this lawyers office, having used subterfuge to do so, Niko pulls a gun on the lawyer who says, "that the firm supports the second amendment and that 'Guns dont kill people. Video games do.'"
The fact that the lawyer, killed on Nikos first mission, would bring up video games, makes it clearly a reference to me This is not the first time Rockstar Games and Take Two have targeted me in this fashion. Take Two references to me as a bisexual pedophile on its corporate website
You have until five oclock P.M. this Friday to inform me that you are going to delete the above references and any other references that could reasonably be construed to be references to me in Grand Theft Auto IV and any other video games that are pending release
Now you have descended this low - using one of your games to threaten my physical safety Failure to comply with the deadline will result in my having to take necessary and proper means to stop release of the game which targets me personally given the copycatting of violent games
Oh dear.

Airbourne to feature in GTA IV?
An article over at gamesindustry.biz is claiming that Australian band "Airbourne" are set to feature in the new Tony Hawk game, as well as the new Grand Theft Auto. Don't take this as confirmed though, Rockstar have stressed many times before that the soundtrack is a work in progress, and that anything there just now may or may not make it into the final version of the game.
"Schnur went on to discuss EA's joint venture music company Artwerk, which has now signed a total of four artists in the past nine months since launch. These include Junkie XL, whose work will feature heavily on the new Need for Speed title, and Jupiter One, based in New York.
"Not only will those artists find telling exposure to key target audiences within EA's own titles, but some will also find themselves as part of other games as well Melbourne band Airbourne will also be featured in the new Tony Hawk game, as well as Grand Theft Auto IV.
As always, discussion on this news is at our forums.
Minor (new) GTA IV details from GamePro Magazine
Some new details have emerged in the latest issue of US magazine GamePro. GamePro previewed the same missions we have heard about many times before, so most of these details are minor, and aren't particularly mind-blowing. See for yourself:
- One of the billboards seen during the demo advertised "Shark Credit Cards," while others advertised "Pirate Music" and "The Whiz" ("The Whiz" is the type of phone that Niko uses.)
- The HUD is described as "minimalist to its core." There is a mini-map, a "low-key" cash counter, and they say that the HUD in general looks more clean than in previous GTAs.
- The magazine states that Ammu-Nation no longer exists. A lot of other magazines spoke about new methods of obtaining weapons, but until now, none of them actually confirmed whether Ammu-Nation still exists.
- The rocket launcher will return (what would a GTA game be without one?)
- One of the female pedestrians screams "this s*** is bananas!" from her vehicle.
- A fare meter appears on-screen as soon as Niko enters a cab, and the camera pans around it as it drives.
- The little green guy on crosswalks is crisp and clear.
- Clothing in GTA IV is described as "customizable, and also realistic." So no more leopard cowboy hats we presume?
- On shooting, the magazine states that: "the cover system borrows elements of Gears of War, and Rainbow Six: Las Vegas." It also says that "the aiming is a Resident Evil 4, over the shoulder style."
Thanks to ryuclan for taking the time to summarise the article. For discussion on this preview, visit GTAForums.

75% of ad agencies responding to a BrightRoll survey believe that video is equally or more effective than TV, and that's up from 64% who believed that to be the case in last year's survey, according to a new BrightRoll report [download page]. Even more respondents (91%) believe that digital video measures up well with display, although they're less convinced about its effectiveness compared to social media (68%), search (52%) and direct response (45%). The most important aspect of video advertising to clients is its targeting capabilities, according to 45% of respondents, with reach (27%) also valuable. Interestingly, only 10% believe that video's price relative to TV is its most valuable aspect to clients. The researchers suggest that advertisers are moving beyond simple comparisons between digital and TV, instead comparing advertising categories that incorporate sight, sound and motion regardless of the screen. Indeed, separately only about 1 in 10 said they'd like to see more research into online performance versus TV advertising, down 59% from 2011.
Given their positive outlook on digital video, it's not surprising that a leading one-quarter of respondents said they expect online video to have the highest growth in media spending this year, with mobile video (23%) close behind. By contrast, direct response (32%), TV (25%), and connected TV (15%) are the categories that respondents expect to see the lowest amount of growth.

"Beautiful card and I'm always impressed with the turn around time of Tiny Prints. So wonderful for a busy mother who is running behind on birthday planning"
"This design is a fun mix of traditional and modern elements. The paper is thick and the quality of the printing is excellent. The matte finish and subtle texture lend themselves well to the wood background. The default font for the body of the text ("Join us...") was a little too thin for us so we opted to go with Wayne instead. The only thing that might make this invitation even better is the option to change the color of the back. We liked the red gingham but we would have gone with green gingham if it were an option."
"These came out amazing! The colors are vibrant and I love the way the upgraded pearl finish looks. People have been asking where I got them and are shocked when i tell them they aren't from some fancy boutique but rather ordered online from the comfort and convenience of my bed. I adore tiny prints. The customer service is also amazing. I made an error on my original batch and the rep told me to send them back and they gave me a full refund. I couldn't believe it! They really just want their customers to be happy and will do what needs to be done to make that happen. This is my second time using Tiny prints and I'm officially a loyal customer now!"
"This invitation is beautiful! I wanted something special for our daughter's first birthday and I got exactly what I hoped for. Being that she was a preemie, this invite has special meaning for us and we couldn't be happier with this product! I highly recommend it!"
"This was the perfect invite for my daughter's 3rd birthday party that was cowgirl themed. She was in a "My Little Pony" phase but I wanted to class it up a bit so I went with a cowgirl theme and infused a bit of "My Little Pony" here and there. The inset photo I chose was one of her dressed as a cowgirl which I would recommend as it really pulled it all together. Overall, just a great, classic design. The apples on the back are a cute touch, too!"

The new attendance keeping system has been enhanced with more features and improvements. As a result, the old attendance system is removed and replaced with a brand new solution. The new attendance system has been in beta for a while, and was described in this entry. If you want to retrieve data from the old system, please contact our helpdesk.
The video shows how the attendance system can be used by teachers, mentors, learners and parents.
The new features for this release include:
Learners can now inform teachers about planned absence in advance. This is time-saving for teachers who no longer have to spend time searching for reasons for scheduled absence. The learner registers the absence by clicking ePortfolio >> Attendance >> Register absence:
Teachers see the notifications from the learners as comments in the attendance overview.
The comment/feedback on attendance function is slightly changed. To make the interface more efficient, the old interface is replaced with a new interface with a comment column to the right of the attendance table:
All comments are shown as a log when you click the comments icon. It is possible to hide comments from the learners. Learners, mentors and teachers are notified about new comments through the internal messaging system and thus also on the main dashboard. The images below shows the comment feature from a learner's view.
Course teachers and mentors can now edit the class hour length (in minutes) in the timetable setup. As a result, the attendance reports now include minutes in addition to hours.
It is now possible to show two absence rates: Whole term and Completed class hours. The first shows the total absence for the term, while the latter shows the percentage and number of class hours that are actually completed and submitted.
From the attendance and behaviour systems it is possible to create letters with behaviour or attendance notifications that can be printed and sent to a learner's parents. The report is usually sent when a learner has shown unacceptable behaviour or has a high absence rate. The letters easily generated, and they are saved in itslearning as a reference for later.
Teachers and mentors are allowed to edit the template text when new letters are created. The addresses of the school and learner are automatically inserted into the letter – if address information is saved in itslearning.
The notification letters are available for course teachers in the attendance and behaviour reports in Status and follow-up, and for mentors from under the mentor tab. The letters are created in itslearning, saved, and then printed and sent to the parents who signs it and returns it to the school.

The HTC One S is a really difficult phone to judge. On the one hand its plasma-etched and super-slim design, fast processor, decent screen and good camera all add up to make this a major improvement over top phones of last year and certainly competitive with many current handsets. But, on the other hand, that plasma finish may not be as tough as first thought, it only packs 16GB of storage and the AMOLED screen is far from perfect.
Ultimately, the only compelling reason to get this phone rather than the HTC One X (more storage, much better screen) is the slightly smaller screen on this handset. The One X's 4.7in frame is pretty large so the 4.3in One S is noticeably easier to grasp. But, it's not like the One S is exactly small anyway, so we'd still go for the bigger of the two.
This was my big hope to replace my trusty, if ageing, Desire when its contract is up in a month. But no SD slot and only 16GB!!! No chance. It sounds like a fantastic phone but I need >32GB for my media library so I'm gonna have to look elsewhere :-(
ShaunB - I think you're heading for a world of pain of you're looking for a new phone with expandable storage. The only one that I've read about so far at this year's MWC is the low-end HTC One V. i think this feature is very much on the way out, as much of a shame as it is.
Tell me about it! But I'm sure I won't be alone. My phone gets used most on my long daily commute. Cloud storage really is pure vapour on a 70 MPH train going through tunnels! On board storage is a must.
All of these new handsets with non-removable storage are configured to have the same partition accessible to both user storage and to system storage. The advantage of this is that it does away with the limited app space issues common to Android phones of old. It also improves security, with support for features like full disk encryption, and it improves reliability as crucial system data can't be physically removed from the device.
It seems that all of the phone makers have followed Google's lead and decided that usability and security trumps versatility. That's not a surprising choice - I'd bet that most users don't even use 8GB of storage, let alone 32GB, and the manufacturers know it.
As jgsm says, non-removable storage appears to be the future of Android. This is sad, really. I'd like an SD card slot *on top of* my 16GB of internal storage please, even if it's just for storing media. I know, I'm demanding, but I'm a consumer.
I feel your pain.
I seems as if the most the mobile technology world is regressing slightly at the moment; mobile data is getting more expensive and more limited, micro SD cards are vaporising from spec sheets, battery life is stagnant at best (and more often than not, non-user replaceable) & handset prices are just obscene. (compared to what £4-600 can buy you in other areas of technology).
Just as a teacher can only teach as fast as the slowest child, markets will respond to the greater sales. So, I blame iPhone buyers. ;)
Best getting an unlocked SGS2 in my opinion, or if you can wait a few months, maybe the SGS3 or 'New' Galaxy?
I'm glad I'm not alone in bemoaning the demise of expandable storage.
As long as one high-end phone offers it we can vote with our wallets ans show them they need to give us the choice.
When no-one offers it we're stuffed.
If they're trying to improve stability then I wouldn't mind if apps could only go to internal storage. I do however want as much storage as I can get for my media.
The GS2 has no problems with having external storage.
Anyone who is thinking of buying the HTC One S, i urge you to visit this website:
… or just google 'HTC One S home screen button problem'.
I have had two handsets, both have been affected by this problem. The phone become unusable in low signal areas. Hundreds of others have been affected but HTC has done nothing about it.
Please look in to this before buying the phone. I wish I had!
I love this phone, with some very minor reservations about battery life and its ability to function in weak signal areas. It feels good, has a great screen, it's fast and smooth in operation...
I would give it 5 stars if it wasn't that it has a crippling bug, known as the 'Home Screen Button Problem'.
This bug appears, seemingly at random, in weak signal areas, when the phone is switching between signal types, and causes the home screen button to act like it's being pressed repeatedly. This kicks you back to the home screen from whatever app you're using, and disables the capacitive buttons until you manually lock then unlock the phone. The main annoyance for me is that it makes using satnav apps while driving a complete lottery - if you get out in the country with low signal coverage, you'll be stopping every few minutes to get the satnav back after this bug strikes.
Many users have returned their phones for repair or replacement, but find the phones they get back begin to suffer the same problem after a few weeks. It's a great shame, but this is a fatally flawed phone at present.

Child Injured in Children's Race Dies from Injuries
Published May 24th, 2012
ST. PETERSBURG (AP) — Authorities say a 12-year-old who crashed in to a wall during a children's race at a central Florida race track has died.
The Tampa Bay Times reports Tyler Morr died Wednesday at All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg.
Officials say Morr was participating in an eight-lap "Kids Club" race at Auburndale Speedway in Winter Haven. The race is a regularly scheduled event for children ages 10 to 16.
According to the Polk County Sheriff's Office, Morr was traveling about 40 mph when his stock car collided with another and slammed into a wall.
The newspaper reports emergency crews had to cut the boy out of the car.
A hospital spokeswoman says the boy's family declined to talk on Wednesday.

- " Easy to find loc., pretty good val., Chinese staff had varying levels of Eng. but were quite helpful; one young Chinese man helped me in and out with my luggage; nice reception area to work and visit with others; quite good wifi reception; various foods, beverages, breakfasts, laundry, and other services were available; the 10 bed dorm room was pretty spacious with individual lockers with keys; the facilities were clean (although there was some construction work going on); and the bathrooms ok "
- 02 Sep 2016 Alan USA
- " I stayed in 10 bed dorm. Only one bathroom including shower and toilet can be a little annoying in the morning, because you might have to wait some time. But I can definitely recommend the hostel! "
- 28 Apr 2016 Hans-Christian Germany
- " The staff was not friendly neither helpful, there was shortage of hot water twice, so we could not get proper shower, we were told to wait, unacceptable. TV was not working and took space - useless. The table the TV was on was damaged we were afraid that it may crash any second. The doors to the porch the rooms are have electronic lock but were open wide so anybody could get in. "

A Means to Many Ends: 10+ Years of Haskell at Galois
Download this episode
Galois started out using Haskell because it was our first love. This talk will be about why we *still* use it. Yes, we still love Haskell, but as the Beatles said, love don't pay the bills. I'll present some recent projects that show different aspects of our use of Haskell, giving a sense of what Haskell brings to the table, closing with a more nuanced answer to the question of why we still use -- and love -- Haskell.

The Discussion
I'm very fond on Haskell, and I'm looking forward to seeing this talk. When the video will be available?
Oh, Is finally online! Fantastic talk, really enjoyed it!
While I agree that Haskell is really nice in small book examples, I have to admit, now as an insider, that "in large"/real world, especially when you have to use multiple monads - i.e. monad transformers, it tends to very unreadable and clumsy code.
@Zura: Hi, are you from a company that uses Haskell? It would be interesting to share your outlook and opinion about the language, maybe in a blog post. It's always nice to have feedback from who uses Haskell in the "Real World". Bye and Good Easter day!
I guess by that definition I'd also qualify as an "insider", and I have to say that my experience has been very different from yours. Monad transformers certainly don't solve all the world's problems, but I've not found that they lead to unreadable or clumsy code. (And it's worth pointing out that Monad transformers are just one of a whole suite of approaches to handling effects - different approaches being suitable in different situations).
@CharlesStain: Hi. Thanks, I hope you had a good Easter day as well!
I'm not from the company that uses Haskell and I'm not a blogger/writer :)
I acquired this impression after fairly long time playing with Haskell. As I already expressed, it is really nice in "academic" use cases.
@Ben: Besides my personal experience, I feel the same regarding many non-trivial "real world" Haskell projects you can find on the net.
If monad stack you chose leads to unreadable/clumsy code you probably chose wrong stack in the first place.

This site is for anyone interested in either buying a box or learning more about wooden boxes, trees, wood, woodworking and other (usually) related topics. I have been know to occasionally wander as far off topic as muskrats and fireflies, but for the most part I do stick to wood related subjects.

My goal with this site is to inform customers about wood and woodworking so as to make it easier to buy an item that will suit you for years to come.

It's a topic close to my heart. I hope you find it to be interesting and engaging.
If at any point you get lost, or want to see if a particular topic has been covered, check out the site map. I have many pages that aren't included in the menu to the left, so to dig deeper into your options, the site map is the place to go.

I update the site periodically as the mood (and available time) dictates, so check back often.
Thanks for visiting.

Discover more about the latest Unit4 Financials developments
Many enterprise financial systems obscure your view of the business with modular ledger systems, static manual processes and limited reporting capabilities. Legacy accounting tools are not up to the challenges of today's businesses. You need real time insight to make informed decisions and stay in compliance with financial regulations.
Today's digital organisations require a unified solution with an intuitive user experience, global visibility and the power to address financial complexity. With Unit4 Financials, get data into the system more quickly with streamlined and automated finance processes. Get intelligence out to make the best decisions, based on real time visibility into your organisation's financial position. Maintain the ability to change your financial structures at any time. Integrate seamlessly with your other key business systems. The result is that you can deliver better efficiency, consistency, and accuracy to support future business success.
Unlike disparate or modular ledger systems requiring batch synchronization and time-consuming manual reconciliations, Unit4 Financials provides immediate visibility into your finances with a single version of the truth. Eliminate time lags, sub-ledgers, reconciling, and manual processes. Add, keep, and change systems without losing control.
Traditional systems are hampered by rigid, generic user interfaces, requiring consultants or IT to hard-code updates for process improvements. Unit4 Financials provides automation solutions for statement processing, reconciliation and overhead allocation. You are in charge of making changes to processes, applications and people via workflows from within the user interface itself.
Some finance tools limit you with rigid, inflexible generic reporting templates or P&L statements that lack dimensional data. Unit4 Financials empowers you with operational, real time, transparent tools that integrate across the organization. A unified ledger means no reconciliation, so no waiting -- all the data is fresh and accurate across all your integrated systems.
Finance often finds itself relying on a reporting team to process information, which leads to delays, generic report structures and information shortages. Instead, use a system that proves personalised, relevant data that you can access and customise yourself. Unit4 offers infinite ways to classify, measure, and analyse information, with data the way you want it. You can even use your browser for 100% of the reporting, so you don't affect your database.
The best financial systems provide can turn complexity into simplicity. Unit4 Financials' single financial model allows changes to be made efficiently in one, real-time single ledger system, without requiring reconciliation, so it provides financial information that is always in balance.
At the same time, the system's multi-dimensional structure enables infinite ways to classify, measure and analyze data, regardless of complexity, for the best possible visibility. Now, each line of the business can monitor profitability the way it needs to. Multi-national operations with complex local regulations can capture transactions in multiple currencies, in multiple countries, in multiple languages. With this power, you can both meet specific local accounting requirements and maintain global consistency, visibility and control.
"I know that Unit4 Financials has the rich financial management capabilities we require, combined with an ability to integrate with the other line of business applications that we use within Nando's. It can be easily scaled as our business grows and helps us to make more informed decisions based on accurate and consistent financial and wider management information."
- Finance Project Manager, Nando's
"We recognised that to meet the demands invoice processing placed on the team, we'd need to add significantly to headcount. Rather than just increase headcount to cope, we wanted a better way of capturing and approving invoices. We also wanted to eliminate other types of paper handling and make cost savings and productivity gains."
Richard Shoteh, Finance Systems & Compliance Manager, Screwfix
"[Unit4] has an excellent and proven track record in the market."
- Program Manager, Denplan
"We believe that Unit4 has delivered an easy-to-use product that has demonstrated its ability to grow and adapt with our business."
- P2P Stream Lead at Avis Europe
Building on one unified ledger, Unit4 Financials provides unique real time financial intelligence. The platform gives users infinite ways to classify, measure and analyse data.

Chev 400 S/B Overheating
This 400S/B is all new in a street rod with a/c it has a 160 thermostat.The engine performs great in every aspect.except for when I have to creep in traffic or stop for a light.It will cool back down when I cruise above 35MPH.I have a new 5 vane Radiator,6 blade 17" Engine Fan and a pusher electric fan on the front side of the Condenser.
I am considering the installation of a upper radiator shroud such as in Speedway's Catlog.It would be very difficult to get a complete shroud installed on this application.Has anyone have experience with this problem?I could use some suggestions.
Thanks a lot
i had that problem in my 34 ford. i hope you have a high flow water pump & thermastat.shroud is a big help.your problem is very common.it is lack of air flow at low rpm/speed.the fans you have are not moving enough air thru the radiator.also,once the air is thru radiator,can it get out of the engine compartment?may need louvers or open it up some way.the mechanical fan should be 1 to pull lots of air at low rpm.the electric fan should be rated over 2500 cfm.hope this helps you,g`luck.
When I was in trade school years ago I remember the small block 400 had a unique head gasket that had a series of small holes in it it, that the other small block chevys did not have. This was unique to the 400. The gasket in the kit did not have these holes and we had to drill them out ourselves. Did you by chance compair the old gasket with the new one to see if these small holes were drilled in. There is a chance you have the wrong head gasket in there. Think back when you installed this.
Also, my hot rod started doing the same thing that yours is doing and it turned out the head gasket was leaking by an exhaust valve and blowing bubbles into the radiator. On a cold engine fill the radiator as far up as it will go with water. Start the engine, shine a flashlight into the radiator and check for bubbles. This can occur even if you have good compression in all cylinders.
Hope this gives you a couple of ideas. Let us know what you find out.
Thanks for the tips.I remember when I assembled the Engine and did have the right head gaskets and the steam holes in the head and block did line up.Also there are no bubbles in the radiator.Temp here in Florida right now is very warm with lots of humidity.Car does ok except in June,July ,August and Sept.
Thanks for your tips.

Evangelicals split on faith's influence: survey
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Christian evangelicals' influence is seen waning in developed countries, while the faith's future is bright in the developing world, a survey of evangelical church leaders concluded on Wednesday.
Growing secularism, consumerism and sex and violence in popular culture were viewed by the church leaders as the gravest challenges to the faith, which comprises several denominations whose collective membership outnumbers Roman Catholics in the United States where they are a key voting bloc.
The Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life conducted the survey at the Third Lausanne Congress of World Evangelization meeting in Cape Town, South Africa, where roughly half the attendees participated in the October 2010 poll.
Of the 2,196 evangelical leaders surveyed, 64 percent said there is a "natural conflict" between being an evangelical and living in modern society.
Evangelicals tend to be conservative, and the number of converts is expanding in Africa, Latin America and other parts of the developing world where leaders tend to hold more pronounced conservative views, the Pew report said.
In the survey, two-thirds of evangelical Christian leaders in Europe, North America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand said their faith was losing influence in their countries, while 58 percent from Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and most of Asia responded that their faith was gaining influence.
U.S. evangelical leaders were particularly pessimistic, with 82 percent saying the faith's influence was waning.
Evangelical Christian leaders shared some views: nearly all opposed the right to abortion and said society should discourage homosexuality. Most believed men should serve as religious leaders in their marriage and family.
But nine in 10 of the leaders rejected "prosperity gospel," which is preached in some U.S. "mega-churches" and holds that wealth and good health is granted for strong belief. Continued...

- - venison heart steaks (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/lodge/8880-venison-heart-steaks.html)
venison heart steaks
I saved the heart from my last deer as I have heard from past conversations about its palatability. anyone ever had heart before and whats your opinion of it?
I save the heart and liver from all my deer, I like the liver and give the hearts to a friend of mine, they are kinda like liver but little tougher and stronger tase I think.
I love liver, especially chicken livers wrapped in bacon. but I am somewhat reserved about venison liver for fear of not knowing exactly how to determine exactly what is safe and what aint. maybe it is all for nothing, and I hope it is but with all the nastey stuff out there, its called just being cautious.
Some think the heart is the best on the deer. Me, I'm not much on heart. In PA they just boil the thing with onions and season salt then slice it and serve with crackers and cheese. I'll take liver on occasion.
I love chicken liver and deer liver is about 3 times better !!
When I field dress I put liver n heat straight in zip lock and on ice if I'm not at home but most my deer I field dress at home so they go straight in a bowl and rinsed off and in the fridge, usually vacume seal the heart and freeze and eat liver next day
We've been butchering our own deer for about 15 years and I've never even thought about saving the liver or heart. Gonna have to give it a try.
I butcher my own venison as well, I took along a zip lock bag on the hunt of my last deer harvest and immediately retrieved the heart from the gut pile and bagged it. I keep 4 solid ice jugs in the cooler in my vehicle and immediately put it on ice when I got back. I steaked it out and packaged it up for freezing and I am now just waiting for the right preparation to come along to get me to thaw it out and do it up. I am going to have to do some research on the liver though.
I too butcher my owna nd have a few times the liver and one time the heart. Although I love most liver, deer is way down on the lilst and yes, I do know how to prepare it.
Here's my opinion of it.....:green::green::green::green:
I never ate any liver I would get sick just smelling mom cook it
heat on the other hand is my FAV. I will take it over the backstrapes or the tendorloins just rinse it out with cold water slice it up & all you really need is Garlic & Butter just do NOT over cook it ENJOY!!!!

Can anyone advise me whether the Plessey C12P ceramic magnet 12" speaker would be suitable for guitar amps? What is the nominal power rating? Response? Sensitivity? etc. This is a speaker that sold some 20-years ago and I often see them used in large PA boxes. They can be sourced at very low prices these days and seem to have decent size magnets. Cones are pressed paper with a doped surround and they look very much like classic guitar speakers ... so I wonder if they'll do the job. Any help would be much appreciated.
