On my too long list of guns to acquire is a Sig 2022. It is different than a 220, 225,226, 229 etc. I like the feel of it, what is the general feelings about them, either from ownership or research?
I don't own one yet, but this gun is also on my short list. Looks very interesting. Looking forward to hearing thoughts...
-Sig P229
-M&P 40c
-Glock 30 SF
I have a Sigpro 2022 in 40,It is a fairly large weapon but concealable,I shoot it very well,mine came with nitesites and they are pretty bright,I qualified for my CHL license with mine and scored 250 out of 250,the only drawback was I shoot left handed and my finger would bump the mag release causing the mag to unseat,the mag button is aluminum so I took my dremel and started grinding the button down til It still worked well to push and drop a mag but I could not inadvertently hit it and release a mag,after solving that problem I would trust my life with it,I have run thousands of rounds thru it and can't think of any problems with it after fixing mag release,I rubbed a little cold blue on the button to return it to the blue color

I just ordered one from Buds guns. Hopfully it is as good as the 226 that my friend shoots. Everywhere people are saying it is a joint effort gun, and is in service with police and military in other country's. Many reviews say the DA trigger if hard, but the SA is good, and no report of errors or jams. I bought the 40 S&W.
I shoot an XD now in local NRA and IPSA compatition was going to buy the XDm, but this cost less and I've always wanted a Sig.
I live about 30 minutes from Buds and actually have been considering one.
Smith and Wesson Sigma 9mm
Beretta 92FS 9mm
Browning Buckmark 22LR
Ruger Mark III Dexlue Competition Model 22LR.

got two of'em

I have a 2022 in 9mm and it is 1 of my carry options. It is very accurate and has a great trigger. Anyone interested in one should purchase soon. The prices are down and Sig will probably not continue to manufacture. They are not big on polymer guns and have the 250 to concentrate on.
Before you lament the scarcity of holsters, most XD holsters will work. Leather is easier than kydex to fit. I use a Don Hume IWB for a XD that I got from gunnersalley for $25 with a strong clip and reinforced mouth. Most H&Ks will also work but I would try them first.

I have a SP 2340 that has been wonderful. I'll get some photos to share tomorrow.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
I have the 2340 as well. I love the gun. It is accurate, fires every time and conceals well. It is a bit heavy in comparison to my Walther P99, but I tend to carry the 2340 because it is more accurate.
"An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life."- Robert A. Heinlein
i have a sp2022 in 40 and i really like it. i wanted to get into sigs and couldn't afford a classic model. i really like the feel of the gun in my hand and it is very accurate. it's my go to pistol for home defense. i added a streamlight a few months back. i will be holding onto this one for a long time.
I have one for about a month. After a quick cleaninging I put 200+ down range with out a glitch. I'm struggling with the single / double action because I'm used to a XD striker fired where the trigger is consistant. But the gun functions well. It has a ring at the bottom of the grip that gets in my way that I will be removing when I get a chance unless there is a real reason for it that I'm missing (feel free to let me know).
Overall great deal from Buds!
that must be the lanyard loop? mine doesnt have one. what is the purpose for these anyway? is there anybody out there that uses them?
I believe I read that the lanyard loop is there at the request of the French law enforcement community, who, I believe, just bought around 200,000 of the 2022's.
The other grip adapter that came with mine is too large to use for me, so I've got to select the one with the lanyard loop.
It is a royal pain, especially when you are inserting a magazine rapidly. As soon as I get the time to do it properly, it is going to disappear.
Otherwise great pistol, I believe. It has the best double-action pull I've experienced in a semi-auto.
The only thing I don't like about the pistol in general is the way the magazine "slops" around in the grip when my little finger lays on it. It detracts from an otherwise nicely designed firearm.

The Jonite Story
The majesty of natural stone is perhaps best expressed by the magnificence of the stone castles of England. Inspired by the rustic appeal of natural stone, we wondered if the material could be used to make functional and beautiful grates.
Yet, the sheer cost of using thick slabs of natural stone proved to be commercially unviable. Natural stone, although having aesthetic appeal, was too weak and unreliable to satisfy safety standards and requirements. A new solution had to be found.
In 1994, Jonite pioneered the world's first reinforced decorative stone grating. Incorporating the beauty of stone with uncompromising load bearing strength, the marriage of aesthetics and performance remained unchallenged in the industry.
Inspired by the rustic appeal of natural stone, Jonite was developed through years of extensive research and development, leading edge technology and driven by a team of dedicated and passionate personnel.

My name is Josh Shpayher @joshs and GovSM is a hobby project of mine that grew out of some conversations I had with some like minded political and tech enthusiasts in the fall of 2009 regarding what were the "best social media practices" of Congress. A point that was repreatedly noted was that in order to know who was doing the "best" it would be necessary to determine who was using social media, if at all, and that turned into a long project that I have finally put together here.
In the near future, I will be rolling out a Governors page as well as a few pages that deal with campaigns. Right now, all the links should be exclusively Congressional office or personal accounts. For example, a campaign twitter feed was not included.
Special thanks to @zevbrokeit for initial web support, @sethjacobson for helping with a bit of data gathering, and @NeoArchitect4 for the graphic design.
I love feedback, keep it coming!

Mitt Romney: An Inside Look at the Man and His Politics
by R. B. Scott
Product Description
The only independent biography of the candidate who would be President
The 2012 race for the White House is racing along at full tilt. Mitt Romney is widely assumed to be the front-runner for the Republican nominee. Question is, can he hold the lead? Ron Scott provides the first independent (unauthorized) biographical profile of the possible Republican nominee. Mitt Romney takes a frank and revealing look at what makes Mitt the man tick, more human than he often appears to be on the stump: his character, convictions, his words and actions, yes his flips and his flops too, and, his triumphs and setbacks. It also attempts to answer the question everyone is asking: Can a faithful Mormon really win his party's nomination and then upset the popular if now struggling, incumbent President, Barack Obama? Drawing on extensive research amassed over more than two decades, including interviews with people who know him best — allies and adversaries alike — this book paints a savvy, textured, and revealing portrait of the candidate, his history, family, religion, political beliefs, and strategy. It will put Mitt in context like no other book to date.
"As a talented journalist, as a Mormon, and as a distant cousin, Ron Scott is able to skillfully pierce the carefully-crafted public image of Mitt Romney to provide a fascinating portrait of one of America's most complicated political figures. The combination of dogged reporting, captivating writing, and familiarity with Romney's background makes this insightful book required reading for anyone wanting to look beyond the Tin Man image of a man who could one day become president of the United States." — George E. Curry, nationally syndicated columnist

Ron Scott has finished a 20 year project to report on the real MItt Romney. This comes at a perfect time. Millions of voters will be eager to know the would-be president of the U.S. and this insider's view has the indisputable validity the public deserves in a biography. While not written for political persuasion, the book outlines Romney's positions on the dominant issues facing american society and this in a time progression from 1993 ot the present. the flip flopper accusations are thus better understandable when firmly placed in context.
Not often do biographies furnish such complete information on the lives of the subjects close family members. This one does, probably to underscore the well known family solidarity and religious grounding of Romney and his LDS faith. Fortunately, this works since, to a person, no crazy ants emerge. The powerful influence of Mitt's father George, himself a past presidential aspirant, is apparent by tracing the father's values and basic political philosophy through the years of his son's youth and early manhood.
As I read a preliminary manuscript, my mind was primed to sort out any mormon historical inaccuracies and my affect alert to any strong biases the author may harbor due to a personal relationship with Romney. I was delighted to find the book well balanced and without any obvious slant in any respect. The quotations from a large swath of co-workers, clients, church members and family were representative of the true gamut of Romney's associations. I especially enjoyed the insight into Massachusetts Mormon social dynamics. That an "Organization of Mormons against Mitt" could exist ought to help blunt the stereotype of LDS monolithic political life. The cross-section of member's experience with Mitt as stake president reveals the man as flawed in the ordinary sense of humanity, but on balance finds him acceptable as a fair and sincere leader. Also of interest is the repeated description of this politician as a listener -then decisive in action as a listener first. This feature of a leader is difficult to discern given the format of debates, commercials, and the negative campaigning that experts say win elections.
RB Scott writes in a well paced, lucid manner, expected of a professional journalist. Sentence formation is varied and vocabulary is crisp and only occasionally requires a dictionary. There is plenty here for the scholar, the voter and the politically motivated to find satisfying. Knowing Mormon history as an avocation, I see no room for fault in this respect. Overall, Mitt Romney comes out fit for the office he seeks. That a few embarrassing real-life scenes are found in these 297 pages only attests to the fairness and value of this excellent, timely read.

Ron Scott is a rock 'n' roll, hang-onto-your-hat writer who is always witty, engaging and intelligent. I knew I would love this book and learn everything it's possible for a voter to know about Mitt. The LDS culture spans every demographic from desperately poor to obscenely wealthy, and there is always that nagging mistrust of the very-rich. How did they get that way without compromising their Christian principles? Is it even possible? Is Mitt truly incorruptible? Can a guy of his intellect and ability even relate to us average folks? "Inside Look" offers answers. I loved every page, was sad when it ended, and bought copies for friends and kids-- it's that good.

Fabulously well rounded book about Mitt Romney. Scott lays out Romney's strengths and foibles. In end, Romney for the most part comes out on top. Romney is not a perfect person and and I enjoyed reading a frank non biased analysis of his character, beliefs, and life. This book puts the facts on the table in a tasteful manner and doesn't try to cover up anything, which makes it all the more interesting to read.

Brilliantly written. Artful prose without being heavy-handed. It's a journalistic look at a public figure that many have a difficult time figuring out. Scott brings Romney to life...something Romney has a bit of a difficult time doing himself.
By Susan, Submitted on 2015-02-25
One of the most timely, interesting, informative and enjoyable books I've read in a long time. This is a must read for anyone who is considering voting for Mitt Romney for president. Ron Scott, who was born and raised in Salt Lake City but now lives in Boston, dissects the candidate complete with family history, current family, Romney's political history, the history of his involvement in the Mormom Church, 2002 Olympics, his positions on various issues, history of flip-flopping, etc. The book is full of interesting anecdotes and lots of personal history. In spite of revealing some maybe "not so flattering" stories, the author made sure to expound on Romney's extraordinary leadership skills and business talent which, in the long run, is what the country needs most.
I was nervous to read this book because I'm such a Romney fan and wasn't so sure I would be when I finished it, but I found it refreshing to find out that Romney is indeed human, and it didn't sway me against him in the least. Yes, I'm still in awe of the man and he has my vote in 2012.

CITY Weekly
October 26,2011
Opportunistic biographies are a dime a dozen during a presidential election cycle, with journalists digging up historical dirt on various candidates. But Ronald Scott comes at his biography of Mitt Romney from a slightly different direction: He's known Romney for decades, since the Republican frontrunner was his stake president in Massachusetts.
The result is honest, yet never a simple takedown. Through dogged reporting and his own personal recollections, Scott paints a broad-ranging portrait of Romney, from his college years through his missionary experience, his business triumphs and his time running both the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and the state of Massachusetts. It's a look at the ideals he adopted from his father, former Michigan Gov. George Romney, as well as where he steered his own politics in a different direction.
The image that emerges, as is true of any well-studied individual's life, is more complex than you might expect. Scott highlights the personality traits that simultaneously made Romney a success in the private and the public sector, and a difficult-to-embrace enigma for many potential voters. Through one memorable anecdote—about an encounter with an officious park ranger that landed Romney in jail in 1981—Scott conveys an occasionally short-tempered man driven to straightforward solutions, yet not always savvy enough to read people well, or understand that his meticulous image-controlling can be seen as disingenuous. Join the author for a reading this week, and learn more than you already thought you knew about the man who would be president. (Scott Renshaw)

This book is written from the unique perspective of someone who knows, and has had access to, Mitt's social circle. The detail on Mitt the person and church leader is not likely to be duplicated in other biographies. Scott has established himself as the go to authority on Mitt Romney.
By Alex, Submitted on 2015-02-25
As a researcher on this book, I was constantly asked about the "slant" on this biography. Was it pro-romney or anti-romney? Would it make him more or less electable? I can tell you that Ron Scott did not have ANY agenda going in or coming out. He did not apologize for anything the governor may have done in his past but he did not attack him for the sake of attacking either. Personally, I do not think the book portrays Mitt positively or negatively but as human and all the complexities that come with that. The book if funny, intimate, fascinating, and sincere. You would truly be missing out if you do not read this book about the man who could become our next president.

Albuquerque Journal science columnist rips George Will's climate column to shreds
Blog ››› ››› KARL FRISCH
I missed this last week but wanted to share it with everyone here at County Fair.
John Fleck, a science columnist for the Albuquerque Journal, tears apart George Will's climate-change-denial column, in which the Washington Post conservative scribe misused data and distorted statements made by climate experts in order to suggest that human-caused global warming is not occurring.
Fleck writes:
There is an old canard of the political debate around climate change that goes something like this: How can scientists be believed about global warming today when back in the 1970s they predicted global cooling?
The argument, reprised in Sunday's Journal by syndicated columnist George Will, sounds reasonable, and gets good traction in the political debate.
It is wrong.
There was no widespread belief among scientists in the 1970s about a coming ice age. Will engages in an egregious case of cherry-picking, plucking quotes that seem to support his assertion while ignoring a vast body of literature that does not.
When George Will last wrote about this subject, in May 2008, I sent him a copy of the 1975 Science News article, hoping he might get a fuller picture of what was going on at the time. I got a nice note back from him thanking me for sharing it. It doesn't seem as if he read it, which would have been nicer.
This is not the only factual error Will mustered in Sunday's column.
"According to the University of Illinois' Arctic Climate Research Center," Will wrote, "global sea ice levels now equal those of 1979.
Here's what the folks at the University of Illinois had to say in response: "We do not know where George Will is getting his information, but our data shows that on February 15, 1979, global sea ice area was 16.79 million sq. km and on February 15, 2009, global sea ice area was 15.45 million sq. km.
Fleck's entire column is well worth a read. If you've not yet taken action, please email the Washington Post today.

4 foods to help you get a bikini body
By Kerri-Ann Jennings, June 22, 2011 - 12:33pm
Don't Miss: Lose up to 2 pounds in a week with this 7-Day Weight-Loss Diet Meal Plan
But in this case I've also come across research on specific foods that can help promote weight loss (Eat yummy food and lose weight? Yes please!), including foods that can help you shed fat from that pesky belly region. Here are 4 foods to eat to get a bikini body.
Must-Read: 4 Secrets of Skinny People
1. Quinoa
Swapping refined grains for whole grains, such as quinoa and also brown rice, popcorn, bulgur wheat and barley, is not only more nutritious, it can help you lose belly fat. How? Whole grains contain fiber, which makes you feel fuller on less food. One study, published in The Journal of Nutrition, found that adults who ate about 3 servings of whole grains a day had about 2.4 percent less body fat and 3.6 percent less abdominal fat than those who ate less than a quarter of a serving. Aim for at least 3 servings of whole grains daily (one serving equals ½ c. of cooked brown rice, 1 cup of whole-grain cereal or a slice of whole-wheat bread). Quinoa is a great way to get your whole-grain servings and it cooks in just 15 minutes.

2. Raspberries
Speaking of fiber, fruits and vegetables are loaded with it and are a healthy way to get your fill. Raspberries have an impressive 8 grams of fiber per cup—and for only 64 calories. Researchers who followed women's eating habits for two years found that those in the study who increased their fiber intake generally lost weight. (Women who decreased the fiber in their diets gained.) On average, boosting fiber by 8 grams for every 1,000 calories resulted in about 4½ pounds of weight loss. So if you currently eat 1,500 calories a day, that would mean aiming for an additional 12 grams of fiber (the amount in 1 cup of raspberries plus 1 cup of green beans).

3. Nuts
It may seem counterintuitive, but even though nuts are high in calories and fat, eating them can help you lose weight. A Harvard study that examined the eating habits of more than 50,000 women over eight years found that those who ate nuts at least twice a week gained less weight than women who rarely ate nuts. That may be because the combination of protein, fiber and healthy fats (mono- and polyunsaturated) in nuts can help you feel full and satisfied. A few times a week, work an ounce of nuts (about 14 walnut halves, 20 to 24 almonds, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter) into a balanced diet.

4. Vinegar
That same friend who wants to lose weight loves vinegar. Lucky for her, that's one of the foods that may help trim belly fat. In one Japanese study, when obese adults added about 2 tablespoons of acetic acid (the active ingredient in vinegar) to their regular diets every day for 12 weeks, they gained 4 fewer pounds, about 5 percent less belly fat and 3.5 percent less total body fat than adults who didn't consume any acetic acid. Researchers suspect that the acetic acid ramps up enzymes that oxidize fat, so less fat accumulates. Add any type of vinegar—even a tablespoon—to your daily diet. Plus, vinegar goes great with salads, so chances are you can get two of your weight-loss foods in at the same time.

I used to own a 2011 WRX Premium 5-door (fog lights, sun roof, navi, heated front seats, short throw shifter, exhaust tips, exhaust tip finisher) and I loved it. I now own a STI and I don't love it as much (I prefer the 5 gears in general [power throughout the gears - STI bogs a bit in 6th unless at speed]; faster 0-60 as wrx gets to 60 in 2nd gear; because of the gearing and the lighter wrx, I really felt that *head-snapping* acceleration more... I actually loved the sun roof). STI does certainly have good power at higher speeds but how often to I need to go 100mph?! Also, STI breaking and suspension is nice however I don't track the thing (have my GT-R for that ;P ) but rather, use it as my daily driver (and thus don't mind a slightly smoother ride) and I'm thinking that I can have the WRX with the features I like as well as add some stuff and still have a great car.
Money not really being a concern (other than it would be nice for whichever I choose to hold it's resale well; I heard the STIs keep their resale better?!), can you guys objectively convince me one way or the other? I would prefer people that have experience owning and/or driving both to respond, if possible.

"After leaving the cars we were marched off into the pine woods, by the side of a considerable stream, and told that this was to be our camp."[1] This Federal prisoner wrote of his new home in Pierce County, Georgia – Camp Blackshear. Major General William T. Sherman's force continued to advance across the interior of Georgia on their way to Savannah, and Confederate officials realized they must relocate the prisoners held at Millen's Camp Lawton before advance elements of Sherman's troops arrived. On November 22, 1864, prisoners at Lawton began boarding trains bound for alternate holding facilities; eventually, 5,000 men traveled westward on the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad.
Colonel Henry Forno, the commander at Lawton, received orders to ready a new prison site in Blackshear. Pierce County, located in the southeastern part of the state, not far from the Florida line, seemed a logical location. The proximity to the railroad, and the remoteness of the region, should prevent Sherman's forces from liberating any prisoners held there. At least one prisoner concurred with Forno's choice, noting in his diary, "Blackshear is an out of the way place, and shouldn't think the Yankee army would ever find us here."[2]
Many period sources indicate the holding area at Blackshear lacked stockades like the prisoners had left behind, first at Andersonville, and later at Camp Lawton. Penciling an entry into his diary shortly after arriving in Blackshear, Sergeant John Ransom with the 9th Michigan Cavalry wrote of the grounds surrounding him and the other prisoners, "There is no wall or anything around us here, only guards. Encamped right in the open air."[3] Offering a different perspective, another prisoner indicated the area "…was completely commanded by military earthworks, with mounted cannon, and was guarded by seven hundred Confederate soldiers."[4] Regardless of the actual condition of the prison, soon after arriving, Forno began making preparations for another facility in Thomasville, while relocating some of the prisoners from Blackshear to Savannah.
Guards from the Second and Fourth Regiments in the Georgia Reserves continued to keep watch over the 2,500 prisoners remaining at Blackshear, looking on as the Federals constructed shanties to protect themselves from the elements. After Sherman captured Savannah on December 21, 1864, and later began his Carolinas Campaign, the prisoners at Blackshear found themselves on the move once again. Some returned to Andersonville, and others went to Thomasville, Millen, or Florence, South Carolina.[5]
Given the horrible environments found in many overcrowded prisons during the Civil War – both North and South – an observation from a soldier in the 4th Vermont Infantry tells of better conditions in Pierce County. "Blackshear has always seemed like an oasis in the memory of those perilous times. Here we were removed from all apparent danger and the guards were more humane."[6] Today, the Pierce County Historical and Genealogical Society works to protect, preserve, and interpret this site.

Through the years we have always carried a Ford product in our list of franchises. Currently, we sell Lincoln-Mercury at Colonial Auto Center and have the Volvo franchise at Volvo of Charlottesville.H. Carter Myers III, grandson of the founder, joined the company after graduating from the University of Virginia's McIntire School of Commerce in 1965. He was elected President in 1974 and is now Chief Executive Officer. He has been very active in the automotive industry, serving as Virginia Automotive Dealers Association (VADA) President in 1995 and as Chair of the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) in 2002.In 2003 the fourth generation, Liza Myers Borches, joined the CMA team. She graduated from the University of Virginia McIntire School of Commerce in 1997 and worked with American Honda for almost seven years before joining CMA. In 2004, we purchased a Volvo store in Charlottesville and renamed it Volvo of Charlottesville. On January 1, 2008, Borches became Vice President, Dealership Operations.After more than 85 years in the automotive industry, our family's traditional values of integrity, respect and customer service are still the hallmarks by which we do business.

Apple iPad with Maxis WiFi Modem E5832 review – Conclusion
The Apple iPad + Maxis WiFi Modem for Maxis10 Reviewers Programme is supposed to end on 4th March 2011.
However, the father of our Apple iPad 16GB with Wi-Fi + 3G, Steve Jobs has just announced the iPad 2 the day before!!
This has thus rendered the iPad version one
obsolete, one generation older than the iPad 2 which is due to be made available to the public on March 11th in certain countries first.
The side effects of this also helped reduced the current iPad price.
Would you like to know what I think about the iPad? Different people different views, and here's mine.
That said and also I mentioned that it's pricey. Now that it's RM 400 less, I wouldn't say it's a steal yet but the entry price of RM 1,199 is pretty good now.
Specifications aside (and iPad reviews can be easily found online), price wise it is actually worthy as a few gadgets in one.
I made some searches on the prices of a few gadgets that I think their functions can be doubled by the iPad and summarized it below.
|Price (RM)
|eBook reader – Kindle 3
|Amazon $139
|iPod touch 8GB
|Apple Malaysia
|GPS navigator
|Digital photo frame
|Total RM 2199
Do note that iPad may not be as good as the other gadgets in certain areas, but in some ways the iPad can be better and as a whole can do more than just the four gadgets!
One example is that I like the larger screen on iPad as a GPS navigator.
Please take the table above with a grain of salt and also based on your own preference.
However, do note that it was such a coincidence that the total of RM 2,199 is the same as the iPad 64GB Wi-Fi + 3G model.
My review device of iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G that was selling for RM 1,999.00 prior to the iPad 2 launch is now RM 1,599.00 only.
I would say it is pretty 'affordable' now if you're one who is so interested in it.
Maxis is not selling iPads, but they are available from these locations.
Maxis, however has iPad data plans for iPad users with 3G capability.
For those with Wi-Fi iPads only, you are not forgotten.
The Maxis iPads data plan can also be used, like what we did with our review devices.
We were not given micro SIMs for the iPad but we have the Maxis WiFi Modem E5832.
Overall, the Maxis WiFi Modem E5832 is a very good device for you if you need mobile broadband and always on-the-go.
The difference between this model and the other Maxis WiFi Modem is it is able to share connectivity to multiple devices instead of only to a single computer via USB.
Other than the actual device, you are TOTALLY dependent on the mobile broadband provider's network coverage for internet connection.
I have been a Maxis customer for almost a decade, switching from another telco because Maxis has the widest network coverage.
I have also tried another telco's mobile broadband and it is not even at par with Maxis network.
In terms of service, it is usually based on customer's preference.
As I was given the WiFi Modem E5832 with iPad 3.5GB data plan for this review and have not tested the other modems, I can only humbly let you know that the device is good for use.
On the other hand, what I could provide is a cost-wise spreadsheet comparison between iPad data plans and the other data plans and WiFi Modem E5832 with the other siblings.
Data obtained from this Modem page and iPad Data plans page.
iPad Data Plans
As you can see, the iPad Data plan 3.5GB is providing 50MB for every RM 1, and the more you pay, the better value in bandwidth that you get. Ultimately it will depend on how much you think you need in a month. However, do note that the iPad plans are new and they are more cost efficient than the normal broadband plans.
WiFi Modem E5832
In all the four mobile broadband modems, Maxis charges RM100 extra if you do not sign up with a contract.
However, do note that the E5832 has WiFi capability thus can allow more than one computer/devices to connect to the mobile network.
If you're interested to get a modem, you should only need to think of going with a contract or without.
So if you're not interested with Maxis network, you can go ahead with a modem without contract and put in another SIM which can connect to other telco's mobile broadband network.
Pretty neat I think, what about you?
This post is in participation of Maxis10 Reviewers Programme, where 10 reviewers are given devices to use for a specific period of time to provide a fair and honest review to their readers.
Although it is my best effort to provide an honest review, the ultimate judgement is yours to make.

Please Help
Hey all, glad to be on the forum. So I own a '65 Cadet 100 (maybe a '67 I just read as the shifter is foot operated?) It is in fairly good condition, I rebuilt the engine and cleaned everything up on the bike, but I need an exhaust flange nut. It holds the exhaust pipe to the cyl head, without it I can't start my bike up and ride it. I have looked and looked everywhere for one but can't find one. Does anyone out there know of one that is for sale? Or has one that is for sale? Hope you guys can help.

This reminds me of my BF's niece who hopped around the room last christmas singing "bum, bum, fanny, butt" and "it's the most wonderful time....of the butt." She was 3. Personally I thought it hilarious, but I tactfully hid my delight cuz I knew they didn't approve. They wanted her to say fanny, but I hate that word. They also make her say panties instead of underwear. Blech!
I think it's probably just a phase and continue to reinforce your preferences, and call others on it if they say it in her presence so she knows it's not just her. Turn things around on her "would you like it if I called you stupid?" etc. We only say butt when we are talking about the body part (or your preferred word).

I'd go with what I posted above for the 1st couple of months because if a few of the following happen, we may just be in the same boat Guelph is in this year:
- get a very good import pick
- draft a more "game ready" 1st rounder than we've had the last couple of years
- MacInnis reports and comes as advertised
- Trouba reports
- solid net minding from Moylan and company
- forward Jake Evans reports
If that is the case, we'd have a chance at going a round or two in the post season.
I would make some changes.....it looks like our coaches dont have confidence in Max, and I dont see them using him in a top 4. I see him being moved. I could see Ming or Meighan being moved as well. And if Macinnis is reporting I could see Bailey centreing the 2nd line and Macinnis centreing 3rd so possibly Sterk moved too. 3 players moved for picks, not 2nds but a few picks.

Commuters this morning were surprised to encounter a giant nose as they walked across London's Millennium Bridge.
The 13ft tall and 8ft wide (4m x 2.5m) nose sculpture was placed on the bridge by The London Dungeon to celebrate the opening of their 'Stinky Summer' exhibition, where visitors can smell the foul odours of the Thames river as it would have smelt back in the 17th century.
In the summer of 1858 'The Great Stink' overwhelmed London so badly it led to an Act of Parliament to clean up the City.
The Dungeons also unleashed some of the odious odours of the past onto unsuspecting commuters.

Anchor Choice?
We are making our final choices on equipment for our new IP440. I doing the selection of our anchors the choice seems to be a moving target with the tests being done this year by both PS (3 tests) and Sail Mag plus reading everthing else I can get my hands on ... I am coming to the conclusion that new designs have changed the choices. At this point I am Here (size appropriiate) : Hydro-bubble - Primary, Spade - 2nd, Fortress (back up)
This is such a change from when I started looking 2+ years ago. At that time it might have been: CRQ, Danforth, and Bruce.
I need your help.
Capt. Barb and 1st mate Terry
S/V Wind Whisperer-IP440-20
You're missing the best one - Manson Supreme. This is now my primary with a Bruce as secondary. Sold the plow.http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...r-dscn0638.jpg
Barb -
This thread is likely to be highly opinionated. I'd recommend, first, searching the archives. There has been a lot of discussion about anchor types. Practical Sailor recently said the hydro-bubble was good. I personally like the Delta and have never had an issue with it, although I really want to get some feedback from someone on the new XYZ.
I've been looking at the Rocna anchor out of new zealand. Interesting video of the testing
I'd go with either a Spade, Rocna, or Manson Supreme for your primary anchor, and size it such that it can hold you in even the worst condtions with little trouble. They're all fairly comparable in terms of construction and holding power.
The hydro bubble strikes me as a bit gimmicky, and the "bubble" part will lead to the anchor being less dense, and likely to not set as well IMHO. Also, how damage resistant is the bubble. My guess is that it isn't all that durable...and if the design of the anchor is such that the bubble is a critical element, damaging it is a problem...and if the anchor doesn't require it...the metal the mount for the bubble takes up could be better used elsewhere.
A Danforth of some sort is a good kedge or secondary anchor, provided it is heavy enough. I prefer the non-high tensile strength versions of the Danforths.
I'd avoid any stainless steel anchors, as they are not really suitable on a cruising boat, especially if you're going to be spending any significant amount of time on the hook. Stainless steel buried in mud is likely to corrode rather quickly, especially in the tropics. Aluminum anchors are also problematic and subject to corrosion as well. Galvanized steel is still the best material for an anchor or ground tackle gear.
Having a hydrobubble as a primary and a spade as a secondary strikes me as a bit less than useful, given that they're both rather difficult to stow and unless your boat is equipped with a dual bow roller setup, it would make more sense to have a secondary that stores compactly, like a Danforth.
BTW, just for full disclosure, the primary on my boat is a Rocna. :D
ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHH....not again!!!
Nothing like anchor wars!!! By the way, that Manson Supreme can work better than a stake through the heart. Look at the tip!
my 35 pound CQR has held under all conditions.
I'm with you Cam, soon as I saw it I said to myself "Oh no, here we go agian."
Foothill, no fault of your own, But as you can tell this has been discussed and debated many times over.
You'll find more opinions on this topic than any other on the forums.
And none that agree!
But hey, That's what makes it so great.
But it is so fun to talk about the different anchors... I'm just waiting for Alain and Craig to come into the dicussion... ;)

Only a freshman, the former Tarpon Springs (Fla.) East Lake standout has been mentioned numerous times by U-M coach Brady Hoke as a potential starter for the Wolverines at left tackle this fall.
Cole, who enrolled early this January, has been heat of the competition, and Hoke hasn't back down on his stance that Cole could be the starter when Michigan open its season on Aug. 30 versus Appalachian State.
"If he's good enough, he's old enough," Hoke said of Cole. "To this point so far he's been good enough. When you look at competition he's gone against with Frank [Clark} and those rush ends. And the people he is blocking in the five techniques. He's held his own very well."
First year offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier echoed Hoke's comments.
"Performance doesn't have an age tied to it," Nussmeier said. "He's had an outstanding camp to date. He continues to improve. Obviously it's a little different than playing at the high school level. But the 15 practices he had in the spring really allowed him to acclimated a little bit. I just really feel like he is taking strides every day."
At 6-foot-5, 292-pounds, Cole has already made gains in the weight room, too. He has put on close to 30-pounds since arriving in Ann Arbor eight months ago. While he has the size, it's his mental play that has caught the attention of fellow lineman Erik Magnuson.
"Mason is a really smart player," Magnuson said. "He understands the game really well. He plays hard. He's a special player."
To stand by his earlier comment, Hoke made it known which players will see the field this season.
"You got to play the best players," Hoke said. "I mean, if you [don't play them] you're cheating this program. And we're not going to do that. So form that standpoint – the best guys have to play. If he's one of those five [offensive lineman] who is one of the best guys, then he's going to play."

2 step henna + indigo--anyone done this?
I used henna and indigo mixed 50/50 for a long time to cover gray in my very dark brown hair, but it bothered me that the indigo faded quickly and my hair ended up very red. The color was never quite dark enough, either. (I used to leave the mix in for 3 hours).
From what I've read, if you use henna first, then rinse that out and do indigo in a separate step, you will get black. From the videos I've seen, this technique actually gives a very dark brown, which would be perfect, but I'd love to hear experiences from those who have done it. I'm tempted to try this but do not want goth jet black hair as that will not be too flattering to me :laughing9:.
I'm thinking of leaving the henna in for 2 hours, and then the indigo in for 2 hours.
Anyone tried this or seen the results?
I did it
And it worked out great. I left the henna in for 3 hours, and the indigo for about 15 minutes. I got a really nice dark ash brown and it covered my gray well. If it doesn't fade this will be my new go-to technique :glasses8:
Sent from my GT-S5690 using CurlTalk App
It's already faded a bit
And has a reddish tone. Then again, I didn't leave the indigo on long at all. Next time I might be braver and leave it on longer. The results are still darker than when I applied the henna and indigo mixed together. I'll try to remember to update in a few weeks.
Sounds like you are getting good results. Good for you :-) It is going to be interesting to hear if the color fades.
Sent from my GT-S5690 using CurlTalk App
If you leave the indigo on for longer you're likely to go black. When you do it's irreversible. It can still give a reddish hue in the sun but the colour would be black.
I used to do the 2-step method for years. Not for the colour (my hair is nearly black) but for the conditioning purposes. I love the effects of henna but with indigo I tried to cover the redness of henna. Now with the CG method I haven't found the henna necessary.
The indigo might fade of the gray strands but with repeated use it should stick better. I used to add salt to the indigo (1 tbs) and amla to my henna.
Be careful with indigo if you want to avoid black. I would recommend the mix of henna-indigo instead of 2-step if you want dark brown. :)

You might want to add amla in the mix to take away some of the red of henna. Also different henna gives different colour. The henna from Sahara is not so red, more brownish colour. You could try some Moroccan henna in the mix. :)
Sent from my HTC Desire S using CurlTalk App
I just ordered henna, indigo and amla, which should arrive in about a week. Will use it to cover my grays and also to try and achieve a deep red (like wine). I'm using the amla to further calm down some of the red and to try and prevent my curl pattern from loosening.
If you're interested, I'll be posting comments about my results (possibly pics, too) in the 4a forum, under the thread I created called "Is Amla still Working for You?" :)
Thanks for the ideas
I haven't tried Amla, but I've read about it over the years. Maybe I'll give it a shot. Does it fade out, or does it make the henna bond to the strand in a different colour? I notice that henna never fades and is very permanent (which is great).
Mixing the henna and indigo and doing a one step process tends to fade to red pretty fast for me, and it's never quite dark enough. I did it for years but am a bit bored with it. I think I might go in a black direction next time, though it would be great if it was almost black but not quite. The indigo is still fading from my first attempt.
I've always used Yemen henna for the gray coverage. I'll have to try a few different ones.
If you want, you could wait to see my results before going totally black (although black is a pretty bad azz option)? I'm really not even sure this concoction will work. We'll see. I'll likely use 3 parts henna to 1 part indigo and 1 part amla respectively. It's going to be a minute before I actually do my head though because I definitely am taking my time to strand test until I see the exact or near-exact result I want! Also, I know my results won't necessarily determine yours because we're starting out w/different hair colors, but I could certainly share the ratios I end up using if they might help you :D
ETA: It just occurred to me that you don't have to wait for me to do your own tests if you already have these 3 powders. You could do your own strand/hair ball tests to see what ratios might work well for you :blob:
Amla cools down the red from henna. What I've noticed is that when used with henna in the 2-step process it makes indigo stick and hold better. Looks like the indigo fades less when used on henna-amla mix.
This is how I do my 2-step. I mix 100g of Moroccan BAQ henna (ie. Tazarine) with some lemon juice and warm water. I might add some crushed cloves just for the smell. I cover the mix with plastic and place the bowl in a warm place. After the colour release I mix in the amla, maybe about 50 g. I let the henna stay on my head for about 2 hrs, then rince. Right after I mix 100 g of indigo with a table spoon of salt, then I add warm water. I spread the indigo on my "towel dry" hair and cover my head with plastic as quickly as possible. Indigos dying power fades when in touch with oxygen. I leave the indigo on for 1 h, rince well and voilà, black hair that shouldn't fade. :)
Not sure if this helps but it might give some ideas. :)
Sent from my HTC Desire S using CurlTalk App
I hope to find a formula that works for me the way you've been able to balance things.
According to founder/administrator over at the Henna for Hair forum, the henna is supposed to be mixed with the amla in warm water for dye release (no lemon juice, ACV or other acidic liquid needed) - that lemon juice isn't needed or recommended if using amla with the henna, as the amla already serves as a dye release, due to its acidity ... and that using both can lead to hair dryness on people prone to dry hair already. Do you experience any dryness w/your mix?
Also, the folks in the forum have said adding crushed cloves does more than just add smell - that it deepens the overall color of the henna mix, which sounds perfect if you're aiming for black (like your recipe), but I wonder if adding the cloves (along w/indigo, henna & amla) could make the color too dark if someone is aiming for deep red instead of black(?)
Yes, I think you're right about amla having to be mixed with henna for the colour release when doing a henna-amla-indigo mix. It was good that you pointed it out. :) I have never done that when doing a 2-step as my natural hair colour is so dark and the end result of 2-step is black anyway. :) The same goes with the cloves: never thought that it could have some darkening effects. My heritage comes from Northern Africa and I've been doing many things because "this is how they were always done" without thinking about them too much. Thank you for the more precise information! :)
I never found it too dry to have both lemon juice and amla in my henna, but I could imagine it can be. I've heard that only lemon juice by itself can cause dryness for some. I think indigo for me was the more drying part, but in the end of the day the goodness of henna + amla took care of that.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using CurlTalk App
Which country are you from? North Africa - I'm very drawn to it, and not just the people and the culture, but also the food and music LOL We haven't had our honeymoon yet but I'm pushing for us to go to Morocco :thumbup:
I spoke to the people at hennafor hair.com again today and now they're saying that cloves really WON'T darken the hair after all. Not sure what to think anymore now :angry2:
What do you do about the drying affects of the indigo? Do you just condition you hair afterward?
Thanks for answering my other questions!
Very confusing with the cloves... Personally I doubt that they would make a huge difference in the colour. I use them also in the henna paste that I use on the skin, but when I've been in places where there are non the colour of the henna on the skin hasn't been that different...
You should definitely go to Morocco. If you haven't been on that side of the world it would be a great experience. The food is beautiful! :) Keep us posted if you decide to travel there. :)
I'm a mix of Algeria and Morocco, and a bit of northern Niger (the very south of Sahara desert). A berber mix (the indigenous people of Northern Africa). :)
After rinsing off the indigo I put a few drops of Argan oil on wet hair. That took usually care of the dry feeling. Then again, before going mod-CG my hair was very dry in anyway, so I didn't know any better. I haven't done the 2-step after starting with CG method, as I don't feel I need henna now. I used to use henna only to condition my hair, not to dye it. Indigo was a must afterwards because I don't like too much of reddish hue on my hair. Now I've learned new methods to take care of my hair. ;)
Sent from my HTC Desire S using CurlTalk App
You just helped me more with my research because now I'm confident that cloves really won't make a difference in color. So I'll consider adding cloves to my mix for the smell! Thank you.
You have a lovely mix of cultures! I want to go into the Sahara and take love pics of the rolling hills of sand, and the people. The Berber people are so beautiful too :D I will definitely talk about my trip on here. I'm sure I'll love it.
It's good to hear you no longer have to do all those hours of henna/indigo treatments to condition. Wow, that was lot of effort just to condition your hair. I'm glad you found the CG routine conditioning enough (definitely seems like the faster and easier way to condition). ... I'm using henna for the color :sunny:
I am still experimenting with this
On my third attempt I used henna for 3 hours and the indigo for 1 hour. As always I got a really nice dark ash brown and it's still looking good after 3 washes. I'm not sure I believe I could really get black with this combo. It is still fading a little with each wash but not as much as when I first tried it. I'll leave the indigo on for even longer next time. I'd like to get the ends to stay really dark so I just have to redo the gray roots and not the whole thing every time--that would save a fortune! (My ends are lightened from using chemical dyes to dye my hair darker. I always end up lighter doing that :happy8:).
My henna and indigo is not so fresh as I bought it about 2-3 years ago, but the "use by" date on the henna packet is years away. It'll be interesting to see what happens when I run out and order fresh henna and indigo.
The procedure used to dry my hair out temporarily (I think it was all the lemon juice in the henna) but I fixed that problem by rinsing with globs of conditioner (really helps the henna/indigo slide out), and later slathering lots of coconunt oil on the semi-dry hair and leaving it overnight. It's really shiny and conditioned the next day, instead of taking a few days to settle down.
I really hope my experiance helps you. I started putting indigo in my hair directly after henna for the same reason you dislike indigo- the fading problem. I have henna'd my hair for years...and always mixed indigo to tone down the red...so I thought you know what if its black it won't fade. Wrong. Not only have I never successfully made it black...it fades just as quickly. I still use indigo to tone my red..but that is now it's only faithful purpose. It never holds for me. The darkest I get is the first week of dark brown. It fades out to auburn within about two weeks. :cwm10:
Thanks Kayrae. I wonder why so many websites say it will be black and permanent! Weird. Still, it does look good and doesn't fade any worse than dark brown chemical color (which also fades and leaves my hair red since my hair has so much red in it naturally), so I'll likely stick with it unless I find something better.
I am still doing this
And it works better each time and lasts longer. I now leave the henna on for 3 hours and the indigo for 1 hour and 15 mins. It's a very dark ash brown. I can see how you could get black, even a blue black if you just leave it on longer. It lasts about 6 weeks before it starts to fade significantly, and by then my roots need attention, anyway.
Love this! I just wish it didn't take so long :farao:

Pa. mom pleads guilty to using 4-week-old baby as weapon to hit boyfriend, injuring child
ERIE, Pa. -- A woman pleaded guilty Tuesday to swinging her 4-week-old son like a bat to hit her boyfriend during a fight, fracturing the infant's skull in the process.
Chytoria Graham, 27, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a child under a plea agreement with prosecutors.
By pleading guilty, Graham acknowledged that on Oct. 8 she grabbed her son Jarron by his feet and swung him, hitting her boyfriend and seriously injuring the child.
At Graham's preliminary hearing in December, paramedic Betty Schau, who treated the baby, recalled that Graham was crying and disheveled when medical crews arrived. She testified that Graham told her, "I swung him. I swung him like a bat."
The judge ordered a psychological examination for Graham before her sentencing, set for May 8. The aggravated assault charge carries a minimum of five years in prison because the child was under age 13. The maximum sentence is 20 years, prosecutor Beth Hirz said. The maximum sentence for endangering the welfare of a child is five years. Two lesser charges were dropped.
This story appeared in The Daily Herald on page A5
brings all new meaning to the phrase spare the rod, spoil the child.... or is it spare the child, spoil the rod?
