TargetCam - new product intro
Hello members, lurkers, and fellow outdoorsmen.
My name is Keith Averill, owner and designer of a new product - the TargetCam. I'd like to introduce our product to everyone here.
What we have developed over the last year and a half is a totally self contained TargetCam system capable of extreme long range.
This allows shooters to see where their shots have hit the target after each shot taken.
The way this works is the camera is placed on a tripod at a safe distance (about 20 feet) from your target. The image of the target is then transmitted via wireless signal to the "base unit" located back at the shooting location. That's right boys and girls, no more walking down range to see where your shots have hit.
You take a shot, look over at the screen to see it. Heck, you don't even have to move your head off the rifle - just look over. On very long shots it's even possible to watch your bullet hit the target.
The range of our stock system is over 2000 yards. With some additional antennas, that we also sell, you can use it out to over 3500 yards if you have something capable of shooting that far.
Our website is:
We have just become a sponsor/advertiser of this fine site and Len will be doing a full review in the next couple of weeks. I'll post in the forum to let you know when it is done.
Bob Beck also has one of our units and is going to be filming with it on his TV show
We are also now an "official sponsor" of Bob's show and he is excited to help introduce our product to his audience. Bob's show is on The Sportsman's channel on Monday nights so look for it later this summer (it's a great show and Bob and Chris are great people).
Anyways, here's some more about our product....
Here is a pic of everything you get with our one camera system (minus the tripod). You get everything you need, camera, base unit, smart wall charger, car charger...
all charged up and ready to party
right out of the box...(except the tripod, use one of your own, cameras mounts on standard threads)
Here is a pic of the camera. It will mount onto any standard 1/4-20 tripod that you have. Put it about 20 feet from your target off at an angle. If some bonehead ever sooots your camera don't worry about it too much. Just send us the camera and we will just rebuild it for cost of parts. If it's totally destroyed we will just wholesale another one to you. We haven't had any cameras come back to us yet. Some of our customers are just mounting a regular steel plate target directly infront of their camera for protection. Just make sure the antenna is peaking out over the steel. 20 feet is pretty far from the target though.
Our system also works with multiple cameras placed at different locations. We've done some custom orders already for folks who order 5 or 6 cameras. About 1/2 of our customers get more than one camera. This allows you to set out multiple cameras set on different channels out at different distances. Then you just toggle to the different channels to view different targets...etc. The standard system, the way you see it here, will hold either one or two cameras. We can also make custom setups with larger cases to hold multiple cameras and also multiple viewing screens. Here's our standard system with 2 cameras packed in.
It all packs away in 30 seconds into a tuff, water tight, Pelican case.
Our system can also be used in other ways such as placing cameras out at various locations so you can observe game etc. We can also build infrared cameras for night viewing.
The most common compliments we hear from people who have purchased our product are:
1. Super easy and fast setup.
There is no plugging this into that, syncing this thing to that thing...simply take the whole case downrange at first, set up your target, put the camera on a tripod about 20 feet away, turn on the camera and base unit, adjust the focus a little...go back to bench and enjoy getting immediate feedback after each shot.
2. It's totally self contained.
Our system includes everything needed packed away into a nice watertight Pelican case. The camera and base unit are fairly tuff and designed to be able to handle outdoor conditions and shock waves from high power rifles.
3. Multiple camera expandability.
About 1/2 of our customers get more than one camera. Some start with one camera and then order additional ones later.
That's all great...but Keith, how much is it???????
Our single camera system sells for an "introductory price" of $785. Additional cameras are $265 each. These are introductory prices for now intended to get the ball rolling. I've had a number of people tell me after getting our product that we should raise our prices. We will probably do that in the near future but for now these are the prices.
But wait....there's more!!!!
I'm an entrepreneur and the inventor of the TargetCam and am flattered to have recently gotten the attention of some of the best people in the industry. Together with them we are now working to develop some capabilities that haven't been done before. I can't post it all here just yet but will as soon as we are ready to release these ideas. I designed our current product to be able to accept these future enhancements so people who have our current product will be able to send there's in for these upgrades as they become available - stay tuned, we're just getting started.
Please have a look at our website for more info about our product. Email or call me directly any time with questions. I am located in Reno NV.
I look forward to meeting you and making your days at the range more productive.

Re: TargetCam - new product intro
Keith, I have to say that looks really cool, and would be very handy for LR shooting. This is an ingenious idea and design. I look forward to seeing more of this product.

Re: TargetCam - new product intro
Just a quick update. We just completed a pretty extensive order for a group of guys who have their own private range. Their complete system included 2 base units for viewing and 5 different cameras. They are going to set up the 5 cameras out at different distances and then they'll be able to toggle to different channels on the base units to see them. The system we built is capable of over 2500 yards.
We're getting quite a few people ordering multiple camera systems now with summer in full swing. Bob Beck of Extreme Outer Limits TV is going to do a review of our product fairly soon and post it here. He is also going to be using it on his TV show later this summer. Bob's show is on Monday nights on the Sportsman's channel.
We are also working on a design for permanent install at commercial ranges. This will be sort of semi permanent so that it could be set up in the spring and remain there until winter sets in. If anyone here would like some info or a quote about this let me know.
We've got some very cutting edge enhancements planned for the very near future for our product. I will "spill the beans" on these capabilities when we're about to release it. Let's just say that we're working on some stuff that the military snipers down in San Diego don't even have yet

The 2013 Count will take during the week of January 28 - February 1 and serve two purposes:
(1) as the City's biennial homeless census required of jurisdictions receiving federal funding dedicated for homeless services programs, and
(2) as the City's first-ever "75 Journeys Home Campaign," which is a local initiative of the national 100,000 Homes Campaign (http://100khomes.org).
The 75 Journeys Home Campaign is a community-wide effort to identify the City's most vulnerable residents and connect the 75 most vulnerable residents with housing and supportive services. We need volunteers to:
(1) Administer surveys outdoors from 4 - 6 a.m. on Mon. 1/28, Tues. 1/29, and Wed. 1/30. (Volunteers must commit to all 3 days.) Note: Outdoor survey volunteers must be able to walk a mile unassisted.
(2) Administer surveys at drop-in centers from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. or 5 p.m. - 8 p.m. on Monday January 28. (Volunteers may commit to 1 shift or both shifts.)
All volunteers will be required to sign a liability waiver and confidentiality agreement. Volunteers will be required to attend a 1.5 hour training session prior to the event. All trainings will be held at Our Daily Bread Employment Center at 725 Fallsway. An e-mail reminder will be sent to all volunteers prior to the training.

HTC Americas president Jason Mackenzie said the following: "With the HTC Wildfire smartphone, we are bringing the people-focused HTC Sense experience to customers looking for a compact, easy-to-learn smartphone that is still powerful enough to meet the needs of even advanced smartphone users."
Mackenzie's probably right. The Android line is pretty heavily weighted towards more powerful, and therefore more expensive, devices. If HTC is going to further improve its market share, it needs to expand their more budget-conscious footing with devices like the HTC Aria and Wildfire.
So if you were planning on getting a new Android device this holiday season, it looks like your decision just got a little more complicated. But that really isn't a problem; it seems there has never been such a good time to upgrade.
The HTC Wildfire features a 528MHz Qualcomm processor, a 3.2-inch 240x320 QVGA display, a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, and a 1300mAh battery with 7 hours of talk-time.

Juliette Lewis Talks About Her Teen Years
Check out these exclusive pics and quotes from Whitney Port's Seventeen October issue cover shoot, where The City star breaks the silence on her current status with Jay and where she really sees herself in five years.
"I'd say everyone on The City are all real friends. They're just not ones whom I've known since I was young. But I have a new friend that I actually went to high school with that has moved to New York, and she's going to be on the show. And she's actually a really close friend of mine; I really do trust her."

The Story (continued)
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
Ignoring the restrictions and news reports about toxic nerve gas - an attempt by special agents to prevent the public from discovering the alien visitation, Roy frantically drives in a rented station wagon [with Wyoming plates] through Moorcroft, Wyoming while again fiddling with road maps, as the radio broadcasts warnings of more road closures: "...and thousands of others are homeless. The United States Army Material Command has issued these new area restrictions: All roadways north of ... on Interstate 25, all roads leading into the Grand Tetons..., all multi-lane undivided full traffic interchanges, rail, local and historic stage routes south of Cody..." Roy mutters to himself about the map markings, just avoiding a collision with vehicles streaming away from the quarantined area: "Why aren't there any fat lines instead of these thin ones?"
At a rural train depot where thousands are departing in a chaotic, crowded scene under Army control, street vendors take advantage of the crisis by hawking live birds in cages to detect the "odorless and colorless" GM nerve gas:
These canary birds are guaranteed to fall off of their perch one hour before the gas does anything to ya.
Considered suspicious when he invents a missing sister and gives his name as Smith, Roy is threatened by an intimidating Army relocation guard (Carl Weathers): "We got orders to shoot anybody lootin' around here." Foolishly, Roy purchases three gas masks and two birds in a cage. Roy hears his name called out by Jillian through the deafening din of the train depot. Instinctively, they have both come for the same reasons - the two locate each other amidst the crowd and rush to each other's comfort. After driving out of town together, Roy turns off the main highway and drives through fence after fence and open fields because of multiple road closures: "Look, the only way we're gonna get back in there is to go cross-country...We gotta break through the fence." Jillian shares one of the questions she was asked about her son's disappearance:
They asked me if I'd seen any strangers in the neighborhood.
And then, they both see the familiar shape at the same instant - Devils Tower. It looms up from behind a hillside as the camera makes a slow pan upward.
Jillian: I don't believe it's real. I don't believe it's real.
Roy: It's real. Let's get down there. Get some gas and get down in there.
As they drive further toward the monument, they encounter bodies of dead animals - three dead horses and then three dead cattle. Jillian checks to see that the caged birds are still alive. Roy is confident that it's all a hoax - a simulated nerve-gas scare:
Look, I guarantee you that this whole thing is a put-on.
Wordlessly however, after an exchange of glances, they both don gas masks and roll up the car windows. They pass more bodies of sheep littering the side of the road. After rounding a curve, they are blocked by vehicles peopled by white-uniformed men in gas masks, and Roy is belligerent: "The only bad air around here is you guys fartin' around." The two unwelcome humans, Roy and Jill are separated into two different vehicles and firmly taken into custody. He is questioned in a small holding room [in the decontamination camp] by Laughlin and Lacombe:
Laughlin: We need answers from you that are honest, direct, and to the point.
Roy: Where's Jillian?
Laughlin: (translating for Lacombe) Do you realize the danger that you and your friend have risked? By coming here, you've exposed yourself to toxic gas...
Roy: There's nothing wrong with the air.
Laughlin: What makes you say that?
Roy: I just know. There's nothing wrong with it.
Lacombe: Go outside and make me a liar.
Roy: Uh, look, I want to talk to the man in charge.
Laughlin: Mr. Lacombe is the highest authority.
Roy: He isn't even an American.
Roy is asked if he has any physical symptoms: a persistent ringing in his ears, any headaches, migraines, an irritation in his eyes and sinuses, hives, allergies, a burning on his face and body. He is becoming exasperated with them after being shown a drawing of Devils Tower: "Yeah, I got one just like it in my living room. Who are you people?" His question remains unanswered. Their final question is all revealing: "Have you recently had a close encounter - a close encounter with something very unusual?" As he is shown about a dozen snapshots of individuals who have also come on a pilgrimage to Devils Tower [prior 'chosen' witnesses of UFOs], he can identify only one who isn't a stranger - Jillian.
Laughlin: The two of you felt compelled to be here?
Roy: Yeah, you might say that.
Laughlin (translating): What did you expect to find?
Roy: An answer. That's not crazy, is it? (Laughlin and Lacombe speak to each other in French)...Hold it, hold it, hold it! Is that it? Is that all you're gonna ask me? Well, I got a couple of thousand, god-damn questions, you know. I want to speak to someone in charge. I want to lodge a complaint. You have no right to make people crazy...If this is nerve gas, how come I know everything in such detail? I've never been here before. How come I know so much? (raising his voice) WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON AROUND HERE?! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE?!
Wearing a gas mask and flanked by guards, Roy complains vehemently as he is led from the compound at the base of Devils Tower to a waiting transport helicopter filled with like souls: "I didn't come this far just to be taken on any bus ride home." As he anxiously looks around at other gas-masked faces inside the copter, he finds Jillian's familiar face.
The military leader of the project, Major Walsh reprimands Lacombe for disobeying proper evacuation procedures:
Walsh: You brought in twelve people to the decontamination camp instead of the evacuation center where they belong. I'd like to know why.
Lacombe (and Laughlin): Because this means something. These people have come from all over their country to a place they have been told will endanger their lives. Why?
Walsh: Because somebody could be trying to subvert this whole operation by sending in fanatics and cultists and Christ knows what all.
Walsh: (while showing sketches drawn of Devils Tower by all the captives) This is a small group of people who have shared a vision in common. Look. (He pulls up the shade to reveal the Tower in the window) It's still a mystery to me why they are here. Even they do not know why.
Taking a chance, Roy removes his gas mask because he doesn't accept the poison gas ruse. He encourages Jillian to follow his lead: "Listen, there's nothing wrong with the air around here. The army is getting us out of here because they don't want any witnesses." One of the women obediently objects: "But if the army doesn't want us here, then it's none of our business." A few more remove their masks - one comically jokes: "The air here is better than it is in Los Angeles." Roy encourages everyone to escape their captors: "How many of you people are for getting out of here?"
Back inside, Lacombe wants to discover why so many people inexplicably came together at Devils Tower:
Lacombe (and Laughlin): I believe that for everyone of these anxious, anguished people who have come here this evening, there must be hundreds of others also touched by the implanted vision who never made it this far. It's simply because they never watched the television. Or perhaps they watched it, but never made the psychic connection.
Walsh: It's a coincidence. It's not scientific.
Lacombe: Listen to me, Major Walsh, it is an event sociological.
Roy, Jillian, and another man, Larry Butler (Josef Sommer) decide to escape from the copter. At the same moment, in an artfully-composed image, Lacombe glances outside through a window (that reflects the image of Devils Tower), joyfully suppressing any word of alarm that they are running through the command post and toward the slopes of the mountainous area of the tower. One of the evacuation plans is to dust the quarantined area with "sleep aerosol - same stuff that we use with the livestock. Comes out of riot control. They'll sleep for six hours and wake up with a hell of a headache." As Walsh walks away after ignoring Lacombe's request not to use riot control methods, Laughlin yells after him that the people he questioned were hypnotically compelled to travel there - they were mysteriously drawn there in their quest for something they couldn't fully comprehend:
We didn't choose this place. We didn't choose these people. THEY WERE INVITED!
Roy, Jill, and Larry climb up the steep incline on the side of Devils Tower. In a Spielberg scene that evokes Hitchcock's North by Northwest (1959), helicopters buzz by with loudspeakers blaring a warning: "..this park has been superseded by the United States Government...You are entering a military reservation." Roy cautions about climbing up the steep face toward the top: "It's a three hundred foot drop straight down," and instead proposes taking a gradual incline trail to the right that leads to a box canyon. Jillian and Larry both realize their perspectives were inaccurate in their drawings:
Jillian: I never imagined that in my paintings. I only painted one side.
Larry: There was no canyon in the doodles that I made.
Roy: Next time, try sculpturing.
Ground troops search behind them on foot with "nothing to report at mid-station. It looks up ahead that there's thousands of places to hide. We're gonna need at least three times the men if you want this covered in one hour." The searchers are ordered "off the northern face" so that helicopters can begin dusting the area with sleep aerosol. As night begins to fall, they press on and scramble for hiding places when another helicopter approaches. Larry falls behind and pauses to rest in the open, exhausted by the climb. The sleep-inducing helicopter, one with nightmarish sand, passes over him and releases a cloud of dust. Like so many other fallen birds, he quickly drifts off to sleep after inhaling the dust.
As they near their goal, they can see spot lights shining into the evening sky. After an exciting pursuit scene as they crawl and pull each other along to avoid another spraying by the dusting helicopter, they emerge through a notch at the pinnacle of the tower. There, they are rewarded with the discovery of a colossal runway. The huge extinct volcano with its incredible mountain formation has been transformed into a secret landing site for UFOs. All of Roy's and Jillian's premonitions, obsessions, and implants now make clear sense.
The Final Close Encounter:
The film concludes with the climactic sequence at the Devils Tower National Monument. The extended scene is filmed with breathtaking special effects and a sense of awe and wonder. At the landing site where the UFO will touch down, the first maximum-publicity meeting and physical contact between the alien visitors [the unknown and imagined world] and scientists [the known and real world] will be experienced. A loudspeaker announcement prepares the scientific crew awaiting the aliens' visit:
Gentlemen, ladies, take your positions, please. This is not a drill. I repeat. This is not a drill. Could we have the lights in the arena down sixty percent, please? Sixty percent. I don't think we could ask for a more beautiful evening, do you? OK, watch the skies please. We now show uncorrelated targets approaching from the north northwest.
In the sky above them, streaking objects resembling comets whoosh through the blackness. Roy whispers expectantly to Jillian: "We're the only ones who know. The only ones." Three tiny, neon-lit scout ships appear with the tiny red orb following in their wake - they hover over the end of the runway. Audio analysis personnel ready themselves to communicate with the sparkling, illuminated objects at the rendezvous point. A giant electronic board covered with colored strips and a powerful synthesized musical keyboard have been constructed at the site. The Air Force scientists duplicate the electronic sounds that they have heard in transmissions, mixing them with light sequences (on colored strips) to communicate. The computer and audio specialists play the loud clear sounds of the five-note sequence after the signal: "Sunset":
Start with the tone. (Pinkish-red) - G
Up a full tone. (Orange) - A
Down a major third. (Purple) - F
Now drop an octave. (Yellow) - F (an octave lower)
Up a perfect fifth. (White) - C
[Best Animated Feature Oscar-winner Happy Feet (2006) directly referenced this scene in which the penguin population communicated with "aliens" (humans) by dance steps exchanged between the two, after the human's "space ship" (a helicopter) arrived and perched on a Devils Tower-type outcropping.]
French scientist Lacombe suggests that the organist play the sequence with an increased tempo and try different frequencies for the five notes or tones, to lure the friendly mothership to land, as he marches out to the end of the runway. The three ships dance above the runway and respond with their own duplicate tones - they emit the musical sounds in the specific combination of five notes. And then they fly off, separating and soaring heavenward. Applause exuberantly erupts through the audience.
The show appears to be over - but it isn't. Lacombe looks into the skies, commenting on what's happening: "I don't know, but it is beautiful." A magnificent cloud formation erupts all around the Tower in the moonlight, creating a radiant halo. More colored flashing lights in the cloud cover signal the arrival of many more spacecraft. The squadron of neon shapes and lights encircles the entire area and buzzes the runway, causing panic and fear among the humans. One of the brilliant and bedazzling ships, looking like a galactic version of the Goodyear blimp, makes a slow, close pass over the base, drifting by and shining its underside of luminescent, sparkling colors.
Roy wishes to make his way down to the base itself, so he can experience the light show of spacecraft firsthand, but Jillian is not ready to join him:
Roy: Want to see better?
Jillian: I can see fine.
Roy: We can't stay here.
Jillian: I can.
Roy: Why?
Jillian: Because, Barry's not here. I'm just not ready.
Roy (impatiently): I can't stay here. I've got to get down there.
Jillian: I know. (They kiss quickly and impulsively)
Another loudspeaker announcement: "This is data control to all personnel: We monitor no biologic hazards. Range: Safety clear." Everything is very quiet until a deep rumbling, low-pitched vibration begins to build and increase in volume and intensity, suggesting the appearance of something awesome, incredulous, and frightening.
The three craft are followed by an immense alien mother ship, a circular object double the size of Devils Tower itself, with hundreds of glittering, illuminated windows. Everyone shares the mass communal experience - they gaze with mouths agape up into the sky as the enormous vessel dwarfs the Tower and revolves and slowly descends toward them. It is staggeringly beautiful as it draws near for a landing. [In the lighted decorations under the Mothership, one can allegedly see an upside-down R2D2 from Star Wars, a shark image from Jaws, and other recognizable objects.] The light from the ship is so bright that dark glasses must be worn. The great space vessel touches down at the end of the runway. The loudspeaker presents another safety warning: "There is a safety hazard zone extending twenty-five meters from the ship. Special teams are exempt and should be aware of low gravity. Expect some dizziness and look out for static charge. All departments that are operational during this phase, signify by beeping twice."
One of the mission commanders directs other audio specialists to communicate with the craft by playing the five mystical notes: "If everything is ready here on the dark side of the moon, play the five tones." The speakers and flashing lights play the familiar tonal sequence toward the ship. The large ship answers with a deep, bass vibration played in coordination with flashing lights around the lower rim of the vessel. There is a back-and-forth musical duet as the conversational light/sound show-contact continues:
Give her six quavers, then pause.
She sent us four quavers, a group of five quavers, a group of four semi-quavers...
What are we saying to each other?
It seems they're trying to teach us a basic tonal vocabulary.
It's the first day of school, fellas.
Take everything from the lady. Follow her pattern note for note.
Jill is drawn forward and hurries toward the runway and the ship. One of the audio specialists realizes that they are actually communicating (or interlocked) in a joyful mood with the alien ship: "We have a translation interlock on their audio signal. We're taking over this conversation now." After the notes of the ship slowly die out, a large cargo door in the belly of the ship slides open - a blinding, brilliant white light emanates from within. The panel slides down and becomes a ramp.
From inside the ship and the ramp, uniformed figures emerge - the US Navy pilots missing for decades:
- Frank Taylor, Lieutenant J.G., United States Naval Reserve, 064199
- Harry Ward Craig, Captain United States Navy, 043431
- Matthew McMichael, Lieutenant, United States Naval Reserve, 0909411
As the long-missing military men step off the ramp, their names are checked off against lists of missing: "Records indicate Harry Ward Craig disappeared off Chicken Shoals, Flight 19."
- They haven't even aged. Einstein was right.
- Einstein was probably one of them.
Many other soldiers, as well as ordinary folks, are released from onboard the ship. Jillian's small son, Barry, also appears on the ramp - he breaks into a run into his mother's arms.
Lacombe: Monsieur Neary, what do you want?
Roy: I just want to know that it's, it's really happening.
Barry describes his abduction during his reunion with Jillian:
Barry: I went into the air and I saw our house.
Jillian: I saw you going up in the air. Did you see me running after you?
Lacombe turns to Roy and tells him: "I envy you." The ramp opens up a second time and a small, frail, undeveloped, spindly, pale alien with big eyes gracefully debarks - the brilliantly over-exposed scenes cause the aliens to appear blurry. The vulnerable being with superior intelligence, a messianic figure of sorts, gestures with a message of love and peace to investigating scientists via sign language - he raises both his arms in a good-will gesture. Other small, childlike humanoid aliens, obviously harmless, emerge and stand on Earth's soil to face the humans. Having been cleared by Lacombe and Laughlin of official formalities, Roy is invited to join the red-uniformed team of "pilgrims" for a space journey in the alien ship:
Scientist: Mr. Neary, I'm told that we can count on your complete cooperation. What type of blood do you have?
Neary: I don't have the slightest idea.
Scientist: What is your date of birth?
Neary: Uh, December 4, 1944.
Scientist: Have you been inoculated against smallpox, diptheria - is there any history of liver disease in your family?
Roy Neary is last in the line of red-uniformed space travelers. One of the little aliens senses Roy's oneness with them, draws him out of the line and takes his hand. After being surrounded and 'adopted' by the beings, Roy is led up to the ramp. He briefly pauses and turns back at Earth with a look of calm on his face. Lacombe nods assurance and approval. Roy disappears into the brilliance of the Mother Ship.
One extra-terrestrial alien remains. The French UFO expert Lacombe gestures to the alien with the Zoltan Kodaly hand signals for the five-tone sequence (similar to Disney's "When You Wish Upon a Star" from Pinocchio (1940)). The alien responds, pleasingly, to the hand-to-hand communication with a repetition of the same signals. The extraterrestrial turns. After entering the giant spacecraft, the massive object lifts and gracefully heads starward. From his vantage point, Barry speaks a farewell: "Bye." There is an embellished chorus of the five notes, as the credits begin to play. The song "When You Wish Upon A Star" is also incorporated a few times in the closing music score.

Protect WordPress Blog against Image Theft /Hotlinking
I guess no bloggers like to see their images being hotlink in other spam blogs, forums, etc without their authorization. To fight against these image hotlinking, we can set rules in .htaccess but the drawback here is, it would also block images to appear in feeds. Although its solvable, but writing htaccess codes can look complex for any novice users.
Lim Dul of Bahn-spass wrote a plugin for WordPress that helps prevent image hotlinking as easy as installing and activating. It blocks image hotlinking by displaying this following image by default.

: What am I? and hair help
Backround: First time here. Stick straight silky hair that wouldn't hold a curl during childhood. Both my mother and sister have curly hair so I was one of the only people with straight hair that didn't want curly hair because I saw how difficult and irritating it could be despite the beauty of it. Recently I heard a hair stylist say, "Whenever I see frizz I know that there is a curl begging for moisture." I thought to myself, "I have frizz could it really be curls?" and it turns out that somewhere along the way my hair had turned curly but i didn't know it because in my mind I had straight hair and I had been battling frizz instead of nourishing curl. The problem I have is that I don't have the same beautiful springy curl that maintains itself from top to bottom like my mom does. (Her hair is enviable and her hair is constantly mistaken for permed hair) So I have no idea what do with my hair.
I have tried the whole twisting/skipping technique but i think it looks silly and my hair isn't thick enough. I've tried scrunching. Diffusing etc etc. It just doesn't seem to work
I'm really hating my hair right now. It's not straight, not curly and it doesn't have a beautiful wave. Ugh. I need to find the right products but it seems like a never ending battle that I am losing. It's too heavy and weighed down. Or the hold is too strong and it's crunchy and/or doesn't allow my curl to form as it dries. It's flat or it's frizzy and on and on. (FYI I only wash my hair 1-2 times a week so I'm headed in the right direction)
I'm considering trying the Jessicurl products but I just don't know!?!
So first I need to know what type of curl/wave I have? I'm guessing somewhere in the 2b or 2c area but I'm really unsure. Please excuse the tired face and keep in mind that I just got my hair wet threw in whatever was around and allowed my hair to air dry just so you can see the pattern. I want soft smooth waves. I don't like how piecey my hair looks here if that makes sense. definition is okay but not pieceyness. like my made up words
and then what should I be using and doing to get beautiful hair?
I included pics of hair that I like.

Using some fabric scraps and Mod Podge, we made our own Easter baskets! These will be great for Easter egg collecting and for the Easter bunny to fill with fun treats.
I gathered some scrap pieces of fabric and cut them into 1" strips. Next, I blew up the balloon to the size I wanted the basket to be.
Grayson got to work covering half of the balloon with mod podge. He took his job very seriously and was sure to cover every last spot.
After drying overnight, it was time to pop the balloon. Grayson thought this was really cool to see!

Protecting your valuable business assets is one of the most important things you can do to ensure long-term success in your business. Therefore, implementing good safety management concepts is vital to the success of your company. Not setting good safety measures in place or failing to follow them could result in injury, death or any number of negative outcomes.
The health and safety of your employees should be at the top of the list of priorities for all companies. According to the United States Department of Labor, nearly 24,000 workers are injured every workday, and there are 85 deaths in every typical 40-hour workweek. Aside from the obvious terrible impact of an employee getting injured or dying, there are other negative effects such as raising accident-related costs or facing an expensive lawsuit. Moreover, preventing injuries and illnesses in the workplace can reduce absenteeism, lower turnover, raise productivity and improve employee morale.
Employees should be aware of their surroundings and report any suspicious behavior as they see fit. It's better to be safe than sorry, so encourage employees not to be shy and speak up if they think something doesn't seem right. One way of keeping potentially harmful strangers out of the office is to require all employees to wear badges at all times. Also, you should have a sign-in sheet at the front for any visitors who then must be escorted around the premises by an employee.
Your building, parking lot and anywhere else where your employees or equipment are should be kept safe at all times. Whatever type of security system you have the funds for including surveillance cameras should be set up throughout the building as well as around the outside. Every walkway, doorway and entryway should be kept clear of any obstacles in case of emergency to prevent potential accidents. There should also be emergency plans set in place for every part of the premises for any type of emergency.
All equipment should be up to date and ready to use or it should not be used at all. Regular maintenance should be conducted on all equipment and any and all problems should be reported and recorded for easy lookup. Make sure that anyone who uses the equipment is properly trained and understands how to inspect the equipment on his own before using it.
Make sure your company computer firewall is up to date and that no outside people are trying to get into your system. Your company data is extremely important information and you should go to great lengths to protect it. Implement password protection for any documents or data that you don't want getting out, and routinely change the passwords, especially after letting an employee go.
Your safety program should be integrated into all aspects of your company and should be emphasized just as much as production, sales and quality control. The United States Department of Labor suggests that safety procedures should not be considered separate of anything else but a part of everything. That way, it is just assumed that everything is done as safely as possible as it should be instead of taking extra time to focus on safety and then basically forgetting about it.
A good way to integrate safety and health procedures into everyday life is to make it a part of your company's incentive program as well. As opposed to just giving out rewards for production- or profit-driven figures, give bonuses to departments for being accident-free for a certain amount of time. The more your employees see safety as a part of their everyday routine, the more they will subconsciously think about maintaining a high level of safety throughout the day.
Safety and Health Check-Ups
In order to be certain that your company has the highest standards for safety and health, it's necessary to have frequent check-ups. The United States Department of Labor has an online evaluation that only takes a few minutes which will let you know which areas your company needs to improve in. Even if your company has gone a long time without any injuries in the workplace, still do frequent check-ups to make sure that no departments or employees are getting complacent. Certain indicators that you can use to gauge the level of safety are statistical reports, opinion surveys, risk analysis, periodic inspections and process improvement initiatives. Make sure that all of your employees answer any and all questions completely truthfully. The point of these check-ups is not to get anyone in trouble, but to constantly improve the level of safety throughout your company.

April 21, 2010
NILES, Ohio — The University of Pittsburgh baseball team racked up 17 hits en route to a 21-12 win over Youngstown State University here today at Eastwood Field in Niles, Ohio.
Kevin Dooley picked up his third win of the year after going six innings, yielding nine hits and seven runs. Joe Leonard paced the Panthers at the plate, falling just a home run short of his second cycle in the last week. Leonard was 4-for-5 from the plate with four RBI and four runs scored. Overall, seven Panthers recorded at least one RBI with David Chester and Travis Whitmore also adding four apiece.
The Panthers struck early, grabbing a 1-0 lead in the top of the first off a Leonard RBI double to left, scoring Zach Duggan who reached on a C.J. Morris error to start the game. Back-to-back walks to Kevan Smith and Whitmore loaded the bases before Cory Brownsten doubled to right-center field, clearing the bags and putting Pitt ahead 4-0 early on.
RBI singles by Leonard in the second and Whitmore in the third pushed the Panther lead to 6-0 heading into the bottom of the third.
After coasting through the first two innings, Dooley ran into trouble in the third. After a leadoff walk to Anthony Porter, Morris doubled to left field to put runners on first and second with one out. Derek Carr's two-run single was followed by a Jacke Healey single and a Tom Clayton sacrifice fly, cutting the deficit to 6-3 through three innings played.
Pitt notched five in the fourth and six in the fifth, putting the game out of reach at 17-6. Duggan and John Schultz both walked before Leonard registered his third RBI base hit of the day, forcing YSU to turn to the pen in the fourth. Bill Turosky got Chester to fly out to center before Smith reached on a fielder's choice and Whitmore jacked his third homer of the season, a three-run shot over the right-field wall.
With runners on second and third in the fifth with no outs, Leonard was intentionally walked to load the bases. After taking a first-pitch strike, Chester sent a Trent Wood offering over the left-field wall for his first-career grand slam. Ronald Sucre added a two-run single to left to round out the scoring in the Panther fifth.
The Penguins added one in the sixth and three in the seventh to close the gap to 17-10 before the Pitt offense added three in the eighth to bring the score to 20-10.
Pitt added one in the top of the ninth on a Schultz single to left, scoring Sucre to make it 21-10 before YSU added two in the bottom half of the ninth. The game marked the 14th time this season Pitt has scored at least 10 runs and the 31st time the Panthers have pounded out at least 10 hits.
Pitt will resume Big East Conference action this weekend with a three-game series at border rival West Virginia University. The Panthers and Mountaineers will open the weekend series on Friday, April 23 at 6 p.m. in Morgantown, W. Va.

Westlake Transportation Hub Strategy
On Thursday, August 6th SDOT gave an overview of the Westlake Transportation Hub Strategy to the Seattle Design Commission. The presentation marked the public release of draft package of recommendations for comprehensive transportation and public space improvements in and around Westlake Station over the next 20 years. These recommendations will be used to help develop a prioritized list of near-term action items and hub-specific design guidelines.
Click here to download the draft set of recommendations
For 2010, SDOT has secured funding to design and implement the closure of Westlake Ave between Olive Way and Stewart St and the development of a pedestrian-friendly streetcar plaza. The new plaza is intended to be Phase 1 of a larger vision for improving Westlake Ave between Olive Way and 6th Ave, which anticipates a future extension of the streetcar associated with a potential new 1st Ave line (yet to be funded).
Click here to download a conceptual drawing of potential improvements to Westlake Ave between Olive Way and 6th Ave.
Check her for updates on the plaza as the design and project progress.
In 2008, SDOT hired a consultant team with expertise in multi-modal transportation, urban design, and real estate development. The project team solicited input from private property owners and broader public stakeholders, which has led to the draft set of recommendations being proposed.

"Absolutely beautiful first holy communion card. I received the finally product within a week! Quality is great and colors are vibrant..."
"Everything about this card is lovely. I think they turned out beautiful. I did miss that the picture of my son I used was black and white and the Y in Holy blended into the picture so my husband said it looked like it said "Hot Communion." My advice would be make sure you don't have white in that portion of your picture. Online I could see the Y easier and I had the design review... but the print... not as clear."
"The card came out awesome! Got so many compliments! Company was great to order from- I had to order more invites and they Were fast to get them to me!!"
"I LOVE everything about this service!!! I ordered the card for my son's communion luncheon. I paid for express shipping and got it the very NEXT DAY!! The paper quality and presentation is great. I am very pleased with Tiny Prints!! Thank you!"
"It was really enlightening to find a company that sticks to its promise and over delivers. Thank you for your expertise and appreciation to provide excellent service!"

CANADA FX DEBT-C$ strengthens after surprise domestic trade surplus
* C$ at C$1.0071 to the US$, or 99.30 U.S. cents
* Domestic trade surplus offset by U.S. jobless claims
* ECB rate cut boosts both North American currencies
By Alastair Sharp
TORONTO, May 2 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar strengthened against its U.S. counterpart on Thursday after the domestic economy posted a surprise trade surplus, though the gain was trimmed by greenback appreciation after a sharp fall in jobless claims.
"The problem for the Canadian (dollar) ... has been the fact that at the same time, we saw a much better than expected jobless claims number out of the U.S," said Jeremy Stretch, head of foreign exchange strategy at CIBC World Markets.
The currency firmed to C$1.0060 to the greenback, or 99.40 U.S. cents, after Statistics Canada said growing exports led to a C$24 billion surplus in March.
It closed at C$1.0081, or 99.20 U.S. cents on Wednesday.
But the greenback also gained, pushing the loonie back to around C$1.0071, or 99.30 U.S cents, as fewer Americans filed new claims for unemployment benefits than at any time in the last five years. Continued...

Designed with the kind of care and attention to detail that is more commonly seen on a pedestal in a museum rather than in a landscaping design, the Desert Steel Passion Flower Torch successfully navigates a balance between sturdy steel construction and intricate artistic detail to give you the perfect conversation piece at your next get together. The vibrant coloring of the flowers combined with the verdigris patina finish on the plant create an extremely realistic piece that, by itself, would keep you happy for years to come, but the artists at Desert Steel have taken it a step further. The Passion Flower hides a torch canister which turns this simple design into the jaw dropping centerpiece of your yard.
- Constructed from galvanized steel
- Dimensions: 32" W x 28" D x 36" H
- Average burn time of 4 to 6 hours
With the ability to be mounted to a slab of concrete, placed in a planter, or simply set on the ground among your existing landscaping, the Desert Steel Passion Flower Torch displays a versatility which is sure to make it your favorite piece of landscaping. The passion flower is also completely maintenance-free and ages naturally. Just add standard torch fuel as needed and watch as your new landscaping lights up the night!

We've seen all sorts of intricate pancake designs from him before like Nintendo characters and dinosaurs. Those were something to look at, but check out these fractal designs! The level of detail in ones like the star fractal is mind-blowing. I would ruin so much pancake batter attempting these.

Although Forrester expects China's public cloud market to show solid growth through 2020, we have observed that organizations face barriers to adopting public cloud. Survey results indicate that data privacy, residency, loss of control, and security remain the top barriers for organizations adopting public cloud in China. This shows that Chinese customers are getting more knowledgeable about cloud and would like to understand cloud players' offerings in more detail.
To ease concerns about public cloud usage, in mid-2013 the Chinese government and some leading cloud and data center service providers in China initiated an industry standard to evaluate cloud service offerings. After six months of discussion, they agreed upon version 1.0 of the industry standard, which includes three categories and 16 detailed SLAs:

Back in October 2011, Microsoft named the initiative to introduce Windows Azure cloud platform into the Chinese market "Moon Cake," which represents harmony and happiness in Chinese culture. On May 23, 2013, Microsoft made the announcement in Shanghai that Windows Azure will be available in Chinese market starting on June 6 — almost half a year after its agreement with Shanghai government and 21ViaNet to operate Windows Azure together last November. Chinese customers will finally be able to "taste" this foreign moon cake.
I believe that a new chapter of cloud is going to be written by a new ecosystem in China market, and Microsoft will be the leader of this disruption. My reasons:

A project I'm working on for an approximately half-billion dollar company in the health care industry has forced me to revisit Hyper-V versus VMware after a long period of inattention on my part, and it has become apparent that Hyper-V has made significant progress as a viable platform for at least medium enterprises. My key takeaways include:

Today, Google announced Google App Engine for Business, and integration with VMware's SpringSource offerings. On Monday, we got a preview of the news from David Glazer, Engineering Director at Google, and Jerry Chen, Senior Director Cloud Services at VMware.
For tech industry strategists, this is another step in the development of cloud platform-as-a-service (PaaS). Java Spring developers now have a full platform-as-a-service host offering in Google App Engine for Business, the previously announced VMforce offering from salesforce.com, plus the options of running their own platform and OS stacks on premise or in virtual machines at service providers supporting vCloud Express, such as Terremark.
What's next? IBM and Oracle have yet to put up full Java PaaS offerings, so I expect that to show up sometime soon – feels late already for them to put up some kind of early developer version. And SAP is also likely to create their own PaaS offering. But it's not clear if any of them will put the same emphasis on portability and flexible, rich Web-facing apps that Google and VMware are.
So Google aims to expand into enterprise support – but will need more than the planned SQL support, SSL, and SLAs they are adding this year. They'll also need to figure out how to fully integrate into corporate networks, the way that CloudSwitch aims to do.

I was lucky enough last week [22 March 2010] to moderate a panel at EclipseCon on the future of application servers. The panelists did a great job, but I thought were far too conservative in their views. I agree with them that many customers want evolutionary change from today to future app servers, but I see requirements driving app servers toward radical change. Inevitably.
The changes I see:
Get more value from servers, get responsive, get agile and flexible
Virtualized everything, dynamic provisioning, automated change management
Govern rising application stack complexity
Lean, fit to purpose app servers, profiles and other standard configurations, modeling and metadata-based development and deployment
Provide "Internet scale"
Scale-out app servers, data tiers, network capacity, modular/layered designs, stateless architectures

#1: 4a/4b hair salons?
I can't seem to find any. Some black hair salons claim they can do natural hair but i'm a bit iffy on that one because from my past salon experiences, some people i've seen come in with natural hair and then leave with hair looser than it was because they use products that contain chemicals in them. I don't think I can find any reviews anywhere on just natural hair salons across the usa. The ones that say they can do curly hair probably can't do my hair or if they do they might mess it up. so i'm not even sure. is there a site with 4a/4b hair salon reviews? i've searched all around NC

Imagine your favorite movie character appears on-screen. He opens his mouth and you brace yourself for a startling battle cry but then his voice sound flat. What gives? Sounds like you need Boston Acoustics' A 225C center channel speaker to beef up your home theater system. This solid performer will add a sense of immediacy to your movies, TV shows, and video games. Be prepared for bold dialogue and exciting special effect that put you right in the middle of the on-screen action.
Advanced drivers deliver the Boston sound you love
The A 225C features Boston's 1" Kortec® soft dome tweeter for clear, crystalline highs. The dual ceramic/glass fiber polymer woofers use Boston's Deep Channel Design® to deliver more bass response per watt of amplifier power. The crossovers in all A Series speaker models incorporate low-loss capacitors and low-distortion cores for the inductors. It means you'll hear every note in your music with minimum distortion.
Thoughtful cabinet design
This speaker's cabinet design also features vertical and horizontal internal bracings to reduce unwanted resonance that can muddy the sound. Plus, as part of Boston's A Series of speakers, the A 225C features modern styling with a stunning high-gloss, scratch-resistant cabinet, a textured top panel for contrast, and a convenient magnetic grille.
Tips for system building
Create a complete A Series speaker system using a combination of A 250 or A 360 floor-standing speakers in the front of your room, and A 25 or A 26 bookshelf speakers in the back of your room. Add either the ASW250 or ASW650 powered subwoofer, and you can enjoy deep, rumbling bass, too.
Got wire?
Most speakers don't include any. Learn about choosing and installing speaker wire at the Crutchfield Learning Center.

This speaker was easy to hook up. It goes well with two floor standing Boston Acoustics speakers that I already had. All three speakers are connected to a Rotel RSX 1056 A/V receiver. The sound quality from the A 225 C center speaker is excellent.

A-Series Center-Channel: The Boston Acoustics A-Series center-channel loudspeaker (A 225C) incorporates high-quality components that produce the legendary Boston Sound. The A-Series center-channel loudspeaker is ideally suited for use in a high-quality 5.1ch, 6.1ch, or 7.1ch channel home theater system.
2-Way Speaker System: The Boston Acoustics A-Series center-channel loudspeaker features a two-way design that employs two 5.25" woofers paired with a single 1.0" soft-dome tweeter.
1" Kortec Soft-Dome Tweeter: The Boston Acoustic A 225C features Boston's 1" Kortec soft-dome tweeter for crystalline high frequencies.
Dual 5.25" DCD Woofers: The Boston Acoustics A 225C center-channel loudspeaker is fitted with two 5.25" ceramic/glass fiber polymer woofers with Deep Channel Design (DCD) that allow for higher speed, reduced distortion, and improved sensitivity. As a result the A 225C delivers more bass response from less amplifier power.
Crossover Network: The crossover components in the A 225C incorporate low-loss film capacitors and low-distortion laminated silicon steel cores for the inductors in all critical areas. The tweeter and woofers are crossed over at 2,600 Hz.
Bass Reflex Enclosure: The Boston Acoustics A-Series center-channel loudspeaker (A 225C) features a bass reflex enclosure with a rear-firing acoustically tuned port for improved low frequency response and efficiency.
Scratch Resistant, Resonance Free Cabinet: The Boston Acoustics A 225C center-channel loudspeaker features a high-gloss, scratch-resistant cabinet with a textured top and magnetic grille for a modern styling that will match most any decor. Vertical and horizontal internal bracings reduce cabinet resonances for enhanced audio quality.
Binding Posts: Gold-plated binding posts provide hook-up flexibility and the purest signal transfer. The binding posts will accept bare wire (up to 12-gauge), pin connectors, spade connectors, and banana plugs (single only).
Note: The binding posts are spaced to far apart to accommodate dual banana plugs.
Color-Coded: The speaker's binding posts are color-coded (red/black) for easy identification between positive and negative.
Rubber Feet: The Boston Acoustics A-Series center-channel loudspeaker (A 225C) includes four self-adhesive rubber feet for safe and secure placement on a table-top, shelf, or, stand, other AV furniture. The rubber feet add 0.125" of height to the center-channel speaker.
Wall Mounting: The optional PinPoint center-channel wall-mounting bracket (121AM15B, sold separately) can be used to wall mount the speaker.
Note: The center-channel speaker does not include any type of wall-mount bracket or keyhole slots.

PCR's new book, HOW AMERICA WAS LOST, is now available:In Print by Clarity Press and In Ebook Format by Atwell Publishing
Christmas is a time of traditions. If you have found time in the rush before Christmas to decorate a tree, you are sharing in a relatively new tradition. Although the Christmas tree has ancient roots, at the beginning of the 20th century only 1 in 5 American families put up a tree. It was 1920 before the Christmas tree became the hallmark of the season. Calvin Coolidge was the first President to light a national Christmas tree on the White House lawn.
Gifts are another shared custom. This tradition comes from the wise men or three kings who brought gifts to baby Jesus. When I was a kid, gifts were more modest than they are now, but even then people were complaining about the commercialization of Christmas. We have grown accustomed to the commercialization. Christmas sales are the backbone of many businesses. Gift giving causes us to remember others and to take time from our harried lives to give them thought.
The decorations and gifts of Christmas are one of our connections to a Christian culture that has held Western civilization together for 2,000 years.
In our culture the individual counts. This permits an individual person to put his or her foot down, to take a stand on principle, to become a reformer and to take on injustice.
This empowerment of the individual is unique to Western civilization. It has made the individual a citizen equal in rights to all other citizens, protected from tyrannical government by the rule of law and free speech. These achievements are the products of centuries of struggle, but they all flow from the teaching that God so values the individual's soul that he sent his son to die so we might live. By so elevating the individual, Christianity gave him a voice.
Formerly only those with power had a voice. But in Western civilization people with integrity have a voice. So do people with a sense of justice, of honor, of duty, of fair play. Reformers can reform, investors can invest, and entrepreneurs can create commercial enterprises, new products and new occupations.
The result was a land of opportunity. The United States attracted immigrants who shared our values and reflected them in their own lives. Our culture was absorbed by a diverse people who became one.
In recent decades we have begun losing sight of the historic achievement that empowered the individual. The religious, legal and political roots of this great achievement are no longer reverently taught in high schools, colleges and universities or respected by our government. The voices that reach us through the millennia and connect us to our culture are being silenced by "political correctness" and "the war on terror." Prayer has been driven from schools and Christian religious symbols from public life. Constitutional protections have been diminished by hegemonic political ambitions.
Diversity at home and hegemony abroad are consuming values and are dismantling the culture. There is plenty of room for cultural diversity in the world, but not within a single country. A Tower of Babel has no culture. A person cannot be a Christian one day, a pagan the next and a Muslim the day after. A hodgepodge of cultural and religious values provides no basis for law – except the raw power of the pre-Christian past.
All Americans have a huge stake in Christianity. Whether or not we are individually believers in Christ, we are beneficiaries of the moral doctrine that has curbed power and protected the weak. Power is the horse ridden by evil. In the 20th century the horse was ridden hard. Millions of people were exterminated by National Socialists in Germany and by Soviet and Chinese communists simply because they were members of a race or class that had been demonized by intellectuals and political authority.
Power that is secularized and cut free of civilizing traditions is not limited by moral and religious scruples. V.I. Lenin made this clear when he defined the meaning of his dictatorship as "unlimited power, resting directly on force, not limited by anything." Our government's drive for hegemony is resurrecting unaccountable power.
Christianity's emphasis on the worth of the individual makes such power as Lenin claimed unthinkable. Be we religious or be we not, our celebration of Christ's birthday celebrates a religion that made us masters of our souls and of our political life on Earth. Such a religion as this is worth holding on to even by atheists.

text: I own a red 12' sedan and it was what I needed and liked. When I was looking to purchase a new car one of my needs was it had to be at least a four door and sport like. I LOVE the look of both but all I needed was the sedan. For a smaller car there is plenty of room in the trunk and backseats for what I needed. As the sedan being quieter than the hatch can't say I know the answer to that. It's all going to be what you like in the end just like everyone has said. They are both great cars you really cann't go wrong. RED is breast. Lol

A new generation fights for civil rights in Florida
By Barbara Liston
ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - The shooting of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin in Florida last year shook the foundations of Phillip Agnew's comfortable life selling erectile dysfunction drugs and anti-depressants.
Outraged at police who cited Florida's "Stand Your Ground" self-defense law as a reason not to arrest neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, Agnew felt compelled to make a stand of his own.
The 28-year-old from Miami led the longest sit-in in memory at the Florida Capitol this summer. On Wednesday he will step up to the microphone in Washington to add his voice to those of President Barack Obama, former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, and others commemorating the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.
Now a salaried field organizer for the Service Employees International Union, Agnew represents a generation of civil rights activism half a century removed from King's iconic address.
Martin's killing prompted Agnew and many others to question whether equal justice in the United States was still only a dream.
The group he helped start, which calls itself the Dream Defenders, camped for 31 days in the office of Governor Rick Scott to protest Zimmerman's acquittal in July.
"We think the political landscape of America is turning very much in favor of young people now," Agnew told Reuters. "We want people to come together and talk about the future of Florida."
Many people blamed Zimmerman's acquittal on the Stand Your Ground law, under which people in fear of their lives no longer must try to retreat before defending themselves with potentially lethal force. Continued...

.40SW was designed to bridge the gap between 9mm and .45. IIRC its a shortened 10mm round. I have never shot a .40, however I hear that the recoil is quite abit snappier which causes slightly more muzzle flip than either 9mm or .45. I do believe the .45 is slighty more expensive than .40SW.
Best to pick a caliber you can afford to practice with ALOT. There is alot of debate about caliber and I would rather not start one, but it really boils down to whatever caliber, you can control and are most accurate with. Placement is more important than hole size in general. 9mm would be superior if YOU can shoot it twice as fast with twice the accuracy than the others. If I were you and you could rent the different calibers, do that.

Luke Rutherford (Christian Cooke) is leading the normal, somewhat boring life of any London teenager, when an incredible revelation about his ancestry rocks his world. His late father's best friend, Rupert Galvin (Philip Glenister, LIFE ON MARS), travels all the way from America to reveal to the oblivious teenager that he is the last descendant of Abraham Van Helsing, the famous vampire-werewolf-and anything-in-between slayer. Rupert offers to train Luke for his new duty, and demonstrates a certain expertise in getting rid of evil creatures... being an accomplished demon-hunter himself. Another fundamental aid to the youngster's supernatural new mission comes from none other than Mina Harker (Zoe Tapper, SURVIVORS), a good-hearted, blind, piano virtuoso vampire, once romantically linked to Dracula. To complete this unusual squad comes Ruby, Luke's clever and enamoured best friend. Will Luke be up to the demanding role of World's new defender against evil?

Colt National Match
Kimber Super Match II
Les Baer Concept V
Valtro 1998A1
Fusion Commander Elite
WOW!... Great collection and photography. Best .45 candy I've seen on the net yet. Thanks & Kudos.
Here is just two of mine and the third is close enough...:mrgreen:
At one time I had three 1911's ... but keeping the best for last, I currently have the Ed Brown MAS 1911 beauty ... :smt1099
1911's are my favorite style of handguns. I own several of them.:mrgreen:
Kimber Pro TLE II
Rock Island Armory
and a new this weekend Chippewa Firearms 1911-22
I've got a loaded champion size. I love it.
Do GSG 1911s (.22 cal LR) count?:smt1099
Sorry couldn't find a Canadian Flag Smiley
Did you say "fiends" or "friends" ?:smt083
Yes, for me the .22 cal. 1911's certainly do count! I have a Colt Ace made in the 1940's and a Colt conversion
unit on a Colt series 80 frame. I love to shoot them both and at least one goes to the range with me every
time I go.
I have two .45's custom-built on Essex frames using mostly Colt parts and wrap-around rubber grips. My
other one is a military surplus Remington-Rand from the 1940's. This last one was an interesting purchase,
I bought it through NRA's DCM program back in 1962. I just dug out the old receipt, it was shipped from the
Tex-Arkana Arsenal for the reasonable price of $12.50 plus postage totalling $18.00! I sure wish I'd kept the
box for that one! It's in great condition except for a little holster wear and I shoot it very little these days.
Just picked up my first 1911 today. A Ruger SR1911!
Great shooting gun!
I think I'm the only one that has a Llama Especial 1911. :)
My first 1911 - Rock Island Armory M1911-A1FS - On a tight budget so got it for $350:
1911's are my favorite handguns.
Left to right, my Kimbers, Colts, then the Dan Wesson's, and Sigs..... Easy to see why the platform has been popular for over 100 years....
I see you have one of the bad boy Colt's
Colt National Match
Me? If you mean me, I don't have a Nat'l Match... I have a Series 70, and a Commander. Nice guns, but I prefer my Dan Wesson's to the Colts. It's a personal preference, of course.

2 colt Nat Match, blue and SS, 1 Detonics old Seattle model, and OLD civilian 1911 made 1925 by the serial number.

MK IV series 70 Gold Cup / NIB. never fired, a combat commander, Colt SS defender..... long story on gold cup, but since it has never been fired will keep it that way, pass it down, to my son....
I have 2....Kimber Crimson Carry II and Covert II....love'm
I have a Colt ANVIII Anniversary 1911, a 1918 Government issue 1911, and I just picked up the Para USA Expert in SS... :)
