Wells Fargo To Offer Retail Banking Customers a Personal Online Safe
Wells Fargo has announced the Wells Fargo vSafe service, calling it "the first online storage solution from a financial institution that lets retail banking customers store and organize copies of important materials, such as financial statements, loan and tax documents, wills, passports, and birth, marriage and death certificates."
By protecting information in an electronically secure and centralized location, customers can easily access and recover copies of critical documents in the event of a natural disaster, theft or hard drive crash, or while traveling. Wells Fargo will roll out the Wells Fargo vSafe service to customers this year.
Wells Fargo's proven online security technology protects and preserves documents stored in the Wells Fargo vSafe service, providing peace of mind while helping customers stay organized. The Wells Fargo vSafe service is integrated with the Wells Fargo Online® banking service and allows customers to automatically upload account statements each month.
"Wells Fargo has stood as a symbol of strength and security for 156 years and online storage is a natural extension of that historic legacy," said John Stumpf, Wells Fargo president and CEO. "More and more customers are turning to our online solutions to manage their personal and business finances, and we developed the Wells Fargo vSafe service to respond to their need for secure online storage."
How Wells Fargo vSafe Works
Customers can access their Wells Fargo vSafe account from any Internet connection – unlike hard drives, flash drives and archiving solutions. To meet the needs of each customer, the offering includes:
- The power to store virtually any popular file format (e.g., Word documents, PDFs, Excel spreadsheets, photos, audio and video files).
- An easy-to-use interface and standard folders such as "Medical," "Legal" and "Family" to organize materials. Customers can add, modify and delete these folders.
- The ability to have Wells Fargo account statements automatically uploaded.
Wells Fargo takes a layered approach to security for all of its online products, and has done the same with the Wells Fargo vSafe service. From the moment account information leaves computers to the time it enters Wells Fargo's system, all data is encrypted to securely transmit and store it. Optional security devices are available for customers who wish to have an additional layer of security.
Wells Fargo is supporting Wells Fargo vSafe customers with dedicated online help, and customers may call a dedicated toll-free customer service number if they prefer help from a customer service agent.
"Customers trust us to keep and manage their information," said Jim Smith, executive vice president and head of Wells Fargo's Internet Services Group. "Compared to home filing systems, which can be difficult to maintain and organize, the Wells Fargo vSafe service gives customers peace of mind because it's a safe place to store, organize and protect copies of private information."

VIDEO: That's How Miley Cyrus Rolls, Yo
Miley Cyrus is really on a roll these days.
The 16-year-old messy-hair maven and Pilates princess ducked out to Mo's restaurant in Toluca Lake, California, with her 20-year-old boyfriend, skivvies-model Justin Gaston, on Wednesday.
Later, the Hannah Montana sensation, clad in a Smet hat, rolled off from the scene on her trusty two-wheeler.
A pretty modest means of transportation for a gal with a private jet at her disposal, but hey—that's just how she does.
Speaking of how Miley Cyrus does, check out the video below (courtesy Hollywood.TV). Miley professes mad love for her fans and silences the various haters by dishing out a fierce freestyle rap. She also demonstrates her knowledge of British heavy-metal veterans Iron Maiden, who've sometimes informed her fashion choices:
Whoa; that was hardcore, yo. Girlfriend must have gone to see Notorious this week. 50 Cent better watch his back.

Acerca del libro
I make marks. Big and little. Thick and thin. Dark and light. Smooth, bumpy, square, round, curvy, and straight marks.
I draw inspiration from nature -- people, places and things -- and then turn them upside down and sideways. Sometimes I work directly from a model, landscape or still-life. At other times I conjure images from memory.
I keep working on the surface, building layers, using color, line, shape and plane changes until the image feels mysterious, interesting and exciting.
This catalog of work created in 2006 and the first part of 2007 is the first published collection of my abstract paintings.

February 20, 1999 to February 25, 1999
Pup: What type of glass are shooting through? At what distance? What angle? You sure don't make it easy do you?
Y2K: Ive got 5000 rounds of 308s, 10,000 rounds of .223, 5,000 rounds of 45ACP, 30 cases of Miller Lite, and 25 cases of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese dinners. I'm ready to party. Frankly, I think its hooey too!!
Mistah Gooch (Said with the greatest reverence and respect): All these professional snipers from the US and Canada. What will be given away as the booby prizes? (Just want to know what I'm going to be taking home.)
And finally Russ: Welcome back. You know sometimes I agree with you and sometimes I don't. I feel with kids a little discretion and compassion are the answer. Do't get me wrong. I'm not a bleeding heart, pinko, liberal, dingleberry. I'm all for the death penalty and getting rid of society of these dredge we have to feed and clothe on a daily basis. But 10 and 11 year olds. Hell, they haven't even found out what their peckers are supposed to really used for (hell even sometimes I forget.) But just to relay an incident thats going on in Ohio right now. There is this asshole named Wifred Berry and the press calls him Volunteer because he want to die for a murder he cmitted 10 years ago. (I think they are "dripping" him right now as I write.) Well, hell there are still liberal malcontents who don't want that to happen. They claim that it insults us as caring individuals. Hell I say let him die. He cold heartedly took a life and we are doing it to him now. Now tell me folks don't you just love stories with a happy ending...
Well, gotta go for now. Gotta make some 308s for Y2K and for Storm Mountain.

On the question of "sniper rifles", guess this idiot country boy ain't real sure what the pansies are talking about. All of my guns are either hunting rifles, shotguns or pistols. Nothing more, nothing less. Some do have heavier barrels, but frankly never could figure out why.

There was no question towards you on spotters. Except maybe that you would probably agree that a spotting scope and spotter would be the way to go if you wanted to start shooting. These entry level snipers will go out and spend their life savings on a gun and glass but don't consider spotting scopes. Essential they are. Ask a bench rest shooter or a sniper zeroing in at the range, get a spotting scope and a friend to watch for you, critical if you really want to know where you are missing.
Oh, one more thing Bullet, glad to hear you are making your way out to the Black Hills, won't be a problem with Janet for us to shoot the shit for a bit, only you should let me know what day you think you'll be out so I make sure I can get a damned hair cut, don't want you tellin' people I'm some kind of hippie!!!

Al, Russ etc. juvinile justice...an interesting topic. If you fry the kids it acts as near zero deterrance to others as they have no concept of mortality. If you take a reahab approach you are in effect taking an already severly disturbed individual and placing them into a situation of constant and total chaos, "the system", not good either. After a trip through the system, you end up with the atittude: "next time I will shoot the cop to so I don't get caught". Probation is 50/50, flip a coin and you will predict who will reoffend as accurately as any PHD. There is just no good answer (besides re-educating liberal puke parents that refuse to disipline their kids) but I tend to agree with Russ, by executing the offender you may not have any great deterrant effect but you will prevent that individual from hurting more people after they are released at 18. alert alert- sniper content...smoke the little bastards in the act and be done with it.

DUDE!!!! The name is "Darrell" not Dave. One more slip lier nhat and Al & I will come take your surf board away from you. ;-)
Someone was asking about 10 round mags for the M1A/M14 rifle.
Well, I've only found two makes of them. One sucks and the other one is a little $$$. Your right, they do come in handy while doing prone shooting. Also, in some states you can't hunt with the 20 round mags if you were to use your M1A/M14 for a deer rifle.
Check Springfield Armory out for the 10 round mags. It's the best all-around mag you can get "for now" on them.
Scott Powers loves M1A rifles. Maybe he could jump in and give a hand on them, since he just LOVES them sooooooo much. ;-)

Gooch: I know that guy with the ghillied whip is lurking right around the corner, but didn't you say something a while back about a new model of rangefinder that was going to come out at SHOT? I'm curious as to what the specs are as I'm shopping for a rangefinder and I'd hate to buy one 2 days before a "twice the range and half the price and weight" model comes out!

Saw the stuff on the CMP. Article I read in Stars and Stripes said that about 20% of the weapons went out without proper background checks. Do not know where the stats came from though.
The issue on sniper rifles being inherently evil. Logic is not a major factor in the anti camp. I know anti's well, both in passing contact, as well as some close friends, courtesy of a few years in a liberal arts college. A lot of their thought process seems based more on gut reaction than empirical evidence. UNLESS you can show them the weapons, let them play with them, and see for their own selves the differences, quoting stats will not do a bit of good. Besides, one of my SOTIC instructors could outshoot me any day with his deer rifle. Ain't the gun, it's the nut behind the bolt.
The state of the sniper in the Army hit a new low. The sniper squad just got axed here. Snipers still around, just a different role. Yet at the same time I'm supposed train the snipers from 2 bn's. Confusing, no?
Spotting scopes. Looking for one. Partial to B&L, and Leupold. Seem to remember someone raving about Optolyth(?). What is great about them and how much dinero? How they compare to the ones listed above? Anyone have a scope near and dear to them that they love above all else? Just as long as it is variable power and has a 45 deg. eyepiece.
Enough for now, to much malt.

Thats good however: Mom, Dad - the family tree stops here!
Now, for more enteraining topics: Can anyone out there tell me where I can obtain the adjustable stock which is like on the Arctic Warfare tactical rifle. Or is that stock style only available as a complete rifle?
Also about tactical/sniper rifles. Any rifle which you have in your gun cabinet, from a Rug (let me try this again!) R -U -G-E (Aw piss on it you know what I'm talking about) 10-22 to the most sophisticated HK-PSG1 can theoretically be used as a sniper rifle. This is a rhetorical question and really hasn't any answer. Sure makes for an interesting topic of discussion. And thats why we are here!

I used Varget with the Sierra 175Mk's for 1000 yd shooting. Rifle was a Winchester Heavy Varmint in 308. Velocity was about 2600fps. N140 would be good too. Unfortunately, there is no way other than working up a load to see what it takes to make the Sierra 175 Mk's work in your rifle. Varget is cheaper than N140. It is very consistant, and is not as affected by temperature extremes as other powders. My rifle had a 26" barrel with 1/12 twist. I also shoot these out of my M1A, using 41.0 Grains of IMR 4895, Velocity about 2500fps. M1A barrel is a 1/10, 22" in length.

my quarter, and MY meter is running
on the CMP sneak attack, another atypical spineless senator/congressman tactic, make a hit n'run statement and slink back to the sewer. Guilty until proven innocent by the media and politico's.
Folks real world, when "Tachy-Brady 1" was passed, the next target
WAS all magazine fed highpowered rifles and shotguns. I believe the statement
was made by a very drunken Sarah B. in front of the wrong people, at the
wrong party.
I made certain that everyone in my little intel loop at the time was aware but was just labeled the doomsayer dude, right? Now I still don't think so! Will ya check back on that through the ILA database for me Grasshopper, it might just be there?
Kids n'crime. Hey look at Great Britain and their approach during the Industrial Revolution. A bit Draconian maybe, but better than being a victim.

Hey, you don't have to remove the reciever from the stock for cleaning.
Get you a gun cleaning cradle, so you put the rifle in the cradle upside
down. Use one of the little plastic bolt hold-open devices, or just slide
an M14 stripper clip into the stripper-clip guide to hold the bolt open.
We turn the rifle upside down to keep the solvent out of the bedding and the gas system. You will need a gas system wrench to hold the gas system while removing the gas plug to clean out the insithe f the gas cylinder and remove the gas piston for cleaning. If you don't use the gas system wrench you will screw up the splines on the gas system and cause the gas system to be loose on the barrel. I put a little grease on the tip of the tail of the gas piston when I put it back in the clyinder. Clean the piston and the inside of the cylinder with some Hoppes #9 and wipe it all off or use some BreakFree ( CLP ). Both work well. It usually takes about 70 inch Lbs to get the gas plug tightened properly, and then put some red paint on the cylinder and plug to mark it so you can tell if it loosens up on ya. Also, ya won't need the torque wrench anymore if you paint the index marks like this.
I only do a complete disassembly if I get caught in a heavy rain. If I don't get in a soaking rain, then I take it down after the Highpower season is over for cleaning and inspection. I shoot about 1500 rounds per year through this rifle. Shooter Choice High Tech grease is great for the M14/M1A. Get a little 1/4 wide, 1/4 long artist paint brush to lube the parts of the reciever that are hard to reach. You can get these at WalMart in the crafts dept.
Shooters Choice Bore cleaner is better for cleaning than Hoppes, but you can't leave Shooters in the bore, I use BreakFree after I finish with the Shooters. And as with any rile, use a one piece cleaning rod.
You can Email me if you like.

If you can't find what you want, get some of that pink building insulation foam board and make a replica of what you want and glass a mold over the top. disolve the foam with lacquer thinner and you are ready to mold your own stock pannels. The aluminium frame takes all of the stress so you are really just building a "handle" for your rifle.
kids, yes I remember what it was like to be 10, taking a rifle without permission, shooting without permission, pointing a rifle at someone, were all things that would warrant a world class ass whupin'. The difference is that when we were 10 we were not going on killing sprees. there is no good answer as to why these kids don't get the message, but you have to take a long hard look at the parents.

I got an M1 from the CMP a couple of years ago, and had to be fingerprinted
by a LE Agency, and fill out all sorts of applications, but it was worth
the 13 month wait to get a real nice M1. I recently applied for a smallbore
match rifle for my son. As I have a concealed carry license, supposedly
I won't need to wait for another background check. Same thing for people
who are Sworn LE Officers and Military types with a current security clearance.
This info is available from the CMP website linked from SC. The CMP ships the guns via the US MAIL! The look on my letter carriers face was priceless! Mailorder M1's, Oh No!( Just Kiddin', she was pretty cool )
Check out the requirements for purchase, and then get a real piece of US Military History. Current price is about $400.

The GAO audited the CMP recently and gave them what was actually a very good report. The major discrepency found was that, in the old DCM days, they sold about 20% of the rifles to persons who used one of the bypass methods instead of submitting fingerprints. This includes those with security clearances, law enforcement officers, (then) current members of the military and others who were obviously about to go on a killing spree with their military weapons
Remember this took place when there was direct congressional oversight of the DCM. Anyway, the director submitted a response which apparently (I haven't read it yet and so can't be definite) covered almost everything. Also, those who bought guns in this manner are being sent through NICS post facto to check for nuts (or lack thereof)
Thats the story. There is more at www.jouster.com.

Vari X II vs. Vari X III : I have a 6-18 Vari X II and it does just fine.
"sniper rifle" definition: Any rifle can be a "sniper" rifle. My
.54 caliber flintlock acted as a "sniper" rifle a few years ago when I
put a round ball between a deer's nostrils at 85 yards. No, that's not
where I wanted the round to go. I was holding between his eyes.

Accuracy International is now manufacturing their rifle stock to fit the Remington Short Actions. I had the opportunity to see this stock at the SHOT Show. I personally found this stock more comfortable than the UARS stocks. The stock is not cheap at around $700.00 with out the adjustable cheek piece. This accessory was in the area of an additional $150.00. Save up your money or buy a Mc Millan A-3 and have it properly bedded. Just be prepared to wait for stock delivery.
I had a conversation with the folks from Mc Millan. They have added a new inletting machine and expect to get the delivery time down to a more reasonable time frame. (Believe it when I see it.)

I'm an ex-army guy w/M-16 experience out to 300 meters. I'm currently getting ready to buy a rifle to take to the range & eventually get good enough to hit targets at 1000 yds.I also intend to use this rifle to hunt deer for meat while incorporating some marksmanship(500 yards or so)skills in the hunt.I narrowed my choice down to a Remington 700 .308 cal but I am not that knowledgable about rifle technology. Therfore I don't know which edition(varmint, sendero, police special) is best suited for my needs. I will mostly be using the rifle for target shooting. I have a couple of questions to ask.
1.Is this choice of rifle & caliber reasonably suitable to meet most of my needs?
2. I'd also like to add that I've never been hunting before. How realistic am I being about thinking of hitting a deer at 500 yards & will I drop it if I do hit him?
3. For 1000 yd. target shooting, how huch power(magnification) should I be looking for in a scope? Is mil-dot recommended? Any other features? What MM?
4. While inspecting a rifle in the store, is there anything specifically I should be looking for?
5. At 1000 yds., how much damage would a .308 do to a deer? human?
Any info that can be provided will be helpful. Thanks!

Often, the question comes up of "Why are kids doing this stuff now? We didn't do it when we were kids!"
Any of you who have NOT read "On Killing" by LTC Dave Grossman are sorely missing out. This book covers not only "warfare killing", but the kind of carnage that we see on the street. He does a wonderful job of explaining the de-sensitizing of America's youth to the whole killing process.
And, if you want a real treat, go see one of his LIVE presentations. I have seen the 4-hour version and will be in his 8-hour class in Mid-March. I don't know if there are opportunities for civilians to see the presentation. Every one that I have heard of has been at some sort of an L.E. training conference.
One of the most startling facts that he has uncovered is that we are in a lot more trouble than the "Murder Stats" would show. Although the per-capita murder rate has remained relatively steady since the turn of the century, the Aggravated Assault rate has absolutely skyrocketed. Many more folks are TRYING to kill each other, but the docs keep saving the victims.
Again, buy the book, at the very least (available at Barnes & Noble and thru Amazon.com...around $15). See the show if you can.

1.Is this choice of rifle & caliber reasonably suitable to meet

my needs? Yes.
2. I'd also like to add that I've never been hunting before. How
realistic am I being about thinking of hitting a deer at 500 yards &
will I drop it if I do hit him?
When hunting, I would much prefer that you practice your fieldcraft skills and try to get as close as possible. Save those 500 yard shots for house cats. Personaly I feel that shooting a game animal at those kind of ranges with high-tech equipment violates the spirit of fair chase.
3. For 1000 yd. target shooting, how huch power(magnification) should
be looking for in a scope? Is mil-dot recommended? Any other features?
What MM? For 1000 yard prone target shooting I have tried everthing from open sights to 24x and could not tell much difference in my scores. I prefer 8 to 12x power. For benchrest 1000 yard shooting something with a little more power is probably better. I like the old Unertls best for target shooting.
4. While inspecting a rifle in the store, is there anything specifically
I should be looking for? Yes, the side of the reciever should say Winchester :-) Buy the cheapest one you can find. you are going to be throwing the barrel and stock away.
5. At 1000 yds., how much damage would a .308 do to a deer? human?
At 1000 yards, a 308 bullet is traveling at 22 long rifle velocity. I have had bullets bounce of of sandbags at the top of the target pits and hit me in the head. I would not have wanted to be one of those sandbags though.

James, a 308 is a fine caliber for what you are wanting to do. But, you do not want to take a 1,000 yard shot at a deer with it. Chances are, if you hit it at that range, you will not be the one eating it... If you find you enjoy hunting deer, you will also find that the hunt is more enjoyable than the shot. Get close, then work on getting closer. 500 yards is no good, for deer, in my opinion. Work and you will get much closer. I agree with Steve's assessment of fair chase. With experience, you will too.

any input from you girls on this one ??? A friend wants a new rifle, he´s getting rid of a Rem 700 VS and his defence budget allows for a SAKO TRG. Seems to be a straid forward rig with nothing to add.
Badger Ordnance ??
are these the guys that make the canted Picatinney mount and matching rings ? Do they have a Site ? Wonder if they would make a custom mount for a Mauser 86SR and a SAKO TRG ??? Both have a square looking receiver with a 17mm Prism on top. The original Mounts that are available are not canted and to high since they were inteded for Observatorys rather than usable Scopes.

Very glad to hear from you! Welcome.
I tried the handloading website you posted , but I'm at work and got a "no access allowed" message. I plan on reading it. I'll find it at home.
After 4 months of work.. work.. at the job; I finally got to my 5th match. In Ala., sponsored by Autauga, at Hardrock range: 500, 600, 700yds. Great experience. The match was on Sat. 2/20, but I got to drive over early on Fri. and try and get scope settings. Actually the "zero" time spent on Fri. was more educational. And I got to know yet another shooter or two that hertofore, I'd only shaken hands with. The next day , there were 50+ competitors; shifty wind and very much mirage. You couldn't see any bullet strike after the first relay due to the mirage.
The day before, I had established settings at all yardages and got some practice doping for wind. Sunlight was intermitent w/ mostly overcast. Fred Brooks, a shooter and new friend, was coaching and spotting. He was taking his time to help me. Fred, thank you.
The next day the sun was out, bright with mirage. Seeing bullet holes was moot. Trusted my settings and let 'em go. Everything was consistently about 0.5-1 moa low at all yardages. "Lights up, sights up" was pointed out to me by a couple of shooters. It is a concept I'm now more familiar with.
I didn't score all that well. So what. I LEARNED another thing (or two). And more important and valuable than anything was that priceless esprit de corp that exists in abundance at a gathering of shooters. Common ground; ease of friendly commmunication; and , to me, the raw magnificence of the event. It's a clean, healthy, and by God, spiritually-based endeavor that can be felt and tasted the first ( or the fifth) time it's tried.
To the 260 but didn't gete a chance to see what it'd do at those ranges. Instead, I shot Berger 185 w/ 44.0 gr N150. Wish I could have tested the 260 at the longer ranges.

I was going to buy a TRG-S in .338 Lapua and gradually customize it over a period of time.I did not particularly care for the looks of the TRG itself.
I figured that I could customize a TRG-S cheaper than buying a TRG and get exactly what I wanted in the first place.
I had in mind a McMillan A2 or HS Pro Series stock,aftermarket bull heavy barrel by Dan Lilja,and an adjustable aftermarket trigger.The TRG-S itself was on sale for $675 Canadian funds.I figured the whole package would cost me around $2000 by the time it was complete.
I was ready to place my order for the TRG-S when I found a Weatherby Accumark (comes with HS stock and stainless steel fluted barrel) in .340 Weatherby.It was used very little and bought it for only $850 Canadian.I couldn't pass up the deal and settled for it instead.
You didn't mention if he was going for a magnum or not.The Sako L691 is about as strong and finely made as they come.Sako certainly doesn't need my endorsement,that's for sure.
I would certainly recommend the Sako if that's what your friend wants.If he gets it,fill me in on how it works.I'd love to hear about it.

Your point about not shooting all your shots at the same target is true. Somewhere in my mind I remember reading that the Navy SEALS conducted a test on this same thing, and concluded semi and a bolt engagement times being equal. I dont think I could agree with the conclusion about the lag time. I would have to see the methodology the Navy used for the test. If all the targets are hidden, and you really have to search for them, then the difference would be nullified. If it was a shooting gallery environment, then it would be different story.
Ive never seen an Enfield (battle rifle) that would shoot into 3 inches at 200yds. 6 inches is more my experience. C. Shore talks about Enfields shooting into 1.5 inches at 100Yds in his book, but I would like to see that as well.

I am currently using the Sierra "Infinity" software. You can get it with the Loading Manual incorporated, but I found that unnecessary.
The best thing about it is that you can run ballistic comparisons at different ranges, under different conditions, for several bullets at a time.
I.e., if you want to compare the Berger 73 grain LTB with a 69 SMK and a Hornady 75 A-max, it will print a chart with one bullet path in blue, one in red, and one in green. Most excellent for comparisons.
You can also change the environmental factors, such has humidity and temperature, to compare their effects.
Runs about $35 US.

I am new here, so don't slam me too hard if this has been covered. I have read quite a few archives and see that no one really talks about the HK-91's or SR-9's. I also have a PSS 308 that I am very happy with, so I am not partial to semi's. Is it the cost of the HK's or the flying brass? I mostly varmint and paper shoot so revealing my location is not a health risk.
Another question, what is the break-in procedure for the SR-9 308 having the polygonal barrel? Is it the same as the PSS? Can I expect 1/2-3/4 moa from this rifle using the Federal 168gr Gold Medal?
Thanks in advance, this is a great forum with great advice.

For manuals, though the prices are a bit higher than I personally prefer, you can get most of what you want from U.S. Cavalry -- I'm sure you can get your hands on one of their catalogs. Their website is at http://www.uscav.com/index.asp . Do a search on their site, like I did, for "manual." Also, check http://www.uscav.com/Shop/itemdetail.asp?item=5&stk_code=WN18251 .

If you would E-mail me with a schedule of his speaking engagements, I'd be VERY grateful. Thank you.

To Brian: "I've never seen an Enfield (battle rifle) that would shoot into 3 inches at 200yds. 6 inches is more my experience." Um, mine gets 1 MOA at 100 yards from a COLD barrel. It's in a sporter configuration now, but it shot the same way when it was in a wood stock. No gunsmithing involved, either. True, 1 MOA at 100 doesn't necessarily equate to 1 MOA at 200 yards, but I'm "pretty sure" it'd do better than "six inches" at 200. In all fairness, though, my gunsmith, who has seen my targets, has told me that he's never seen an Enfield do that well. Go figure. Anyway, this is with Hornady 174-grainers and 41 grains of N-140.

We had our winter drill the other weekend, in a lovely remote park. Thick, green grass everywhere, really nice, would have made for great stalking exercise, especially since the ground was COVERED with THOUSANDS and thousands of small, black hopping spiders. Anywhere you looked dozens of the little critters were hopping around. This was a sadistic instructor's dream come true, guaranteed to weed out the arachnophobes... They didn't bother us much, but then were weren't belly-crawling through this spider metropolis.
I teamed with a dog and his handler for an area search, first time working with a dog that could track that way. The dog goes running around the area you want to search, no scent article needed, and if it smells a person freshly in the area it seeks them out. They do it well.
The area we were assigned included searching down steep hillsides to a given elevation. This was a reminder that the GPS is not the greatest tool for determining elevation. My Avocet watch does that much better (it's cheaper and lighter and faster and more accurate and the batteries last longer and, well, you get the idea.)

Gramps, your post brought the hair on the back of my neck to attention. I have never experienced the misfortune of war in a far away place, but feel that 18 years as a Peace Keeper in a violent city in Calif. has changed me forever. The young man wanting to go to Bosnia, death is not pretty and seeing it is not good for the soul. I have seen to many people, I have had friends say bye for the last time and heard Amassing Grace on the Bag Pipes more than I wish. Bottom line is it sucks to be with and around death, stay a virgin to it as long as possible. Mothers without sons to bug are mothers without a life.
Well enough bad stuff. Looks like I get to go to the Hathcock Shoot. Yeah. Only problem is Fred wants to show me up with his Ruger and if that happens I will never hear the end of it.

Recently took part in a speed event. My licence only allows bolt-action rifles or civilian semis (ie less than 7 rounds) so I took my Lee Enfield No 5 Jungle Carbine (a real one, Fazakerly, 1945). The other shooters were using AR15s, L1A1s and a couple of Velmets.
All events involved restricted times. The one I was worried about involved starting in the standing position with 5 in the magazine. On the command, fire 5, kneel, load 5, fire 5, stand, load 5, fire 5. Time allowed: 45 seconds. I finished with a good three seconds spare and, on inspection of the target, found all 15 shots counted. Oh, by the way, I was using the battle sights.
I am comfortable firing a No 4 out to 500 yards. At 900, it starts to be hard work. What optics am I using. Well, I am short-sighted, so I wear glasses. The only scope I want on a Lee Enfield is the No 32 on a No 4 (T), preferably matched to the gun. But that will have to wait until I pay off the mortgage.
11 rounds in a Lee Enfield mag? Good on you. Just don't complain when you have a mis-feed. 35 rounds in 1 minute? Crikey, I would not want to be anywhere forward of that shooter. Group sizes? What can you do with issue iron sights? (any range)
The correct number of firearms any one person should own is: more.

" The constant for the M118 special ball round is 20. This constant may not remain correct if other ammunition is used. "
If the Federal 175gr. match ammo is used, can someone tell me what
the constant # would be for this round in the wind formula?
What would be the constant # be if the Fed. 168gr. match round?
Considering that the Fed. ammo was being shot from the same sniper weapon. (M-24 SWS)

On the fire-lapping review: Shooter beware. If throat erosion doesn't concern you, have at it. There has been so much material generated on how fire-lapping accelerates throat erosion, it's not funny. It should also be mentioned that it's basically "firearm suicide" if you use such ammo in a gas gun. The abrasives get into the gas system and do irreversible damage. I've used fire-lapping ammunition. It has it's purpose... but your money is better spent rebarreling than fire-lapping if your goal is to achieve surgical accuracy for a "tactical" piece. Sure, I'd use it for a "beater" rifle... LIKE A CLUNKY OLD ENFIELD, for example... or some old gun that had the potential to "shoot" but just wasn't worth spending the money on for a barrel job. I would not, however, use fire-lapping ammunition for the type of equipment we generally discuss here on the Duty Roster. Hey, it's your money, you do as you want. No slam against the article -- it pretty well covered the product and its use... but there's a downside to fire-lapping that potential users should know about. IF YOU WANT TO LAP YOUR BORE, take it to a gunsmith and have him lap it the good old-fashioned way. Or do it yourself -- it's NOT that hard, guys, really.
To Bill: The Sharp Shooter trigger is a straight-up installation "IF" (!!!) your stock has enough room for the trigger assembly itself. Otherwise, you'll need to relieve the trigger area as needed. If you have done trigger work, are not "tool challenged," and can look at things and figure them out, you'll be fine. Otherwise, take it to a gunsmith and have him install it. The manufacturer also does installations of his own product.
To Steve: I agree, if facing the Chinese Red Horde, I'd probably opt for something capable of full-auto fire. I'm a big guy with long fingers and I am NOT "the fastest there is" with an Enfield. Yup, if they're in close, full-auto is the way to go... but if all I had was an Enfield, I'm sure I'd find the speed I needed. I much prefer the long-range method of engagement, though. Ever see "Valdez is Coming" with Burt Lancaster using a Sharps .50? Who SAID long-range single-shots don't have a place on the battlefield?! :-)

I´m trying to get a 1000 yard Bushnell laser rangefinder, if I do then I´ll do a test and comparison aginst our Bundeswehr unit. The Bundeswehr unit is really accurate, only problem is size since it has a 56ton Leopard II attched to it.
A friend is trying to remake one of those curved barrel adaptors they had for the Sturmgewehr 44, he has a bolt action in 8 X 33 as a test bed and wants to test how these "shoot around the corner" attachments functioned. Gramps, did you pick one up while you were here ?

On Charity: Guys, if you haven't done your taxes, let me tell you a couple of things.
1) TurboTax. The JAG guys in my unit are doing taxes for everyone, using this software. I checked it out, liked it, and bought it. It's VERY user friendly and many tax "professionals" (?!) use it, too.
2) When you do ANY "charity shoots," save your receipts, record your mileage, and so on. You get to deduct all, or a part of, those expenses.
For the Carlos N. Hathcock Charity Sniper Competition last year, I deducted the mileage, hotel, meals, et cetera. When I flew out to Denver, CO, and went up to Gillette, WY, for "Carlos II," I deducted the plane tickets, lodging, meals, and so on. Just as smart business operators will deduct their "contribution" to a charity cause (labor costs, equipment, raw materials), so can you. It was $150 to enter the SMTC event last year. Even though I was not competing, I wanted to help Carlos and coughed up the money. And Scott will tell you, I made sure I got a receipt WITH the event information on it, because I knew I would be using it for taxes. So, with my expenses incurred from the Army Reserve drills I attend, and the charity deductions I was allowed to take, and the webmaster work (and related out-of-pocket expenses) I did for ArmaLite last year, I'm getting back a little over ... well, nevermind... but, um, besides the above goodies, I'm also thinking about getting a Barr & Stroud rangefinder from Deutsche Optik.
Bottomline: It PAYS to deduct contributions to charity. Just think of the Remington 700 PSS you could buy -- or, better yet, A BRAND NEW SAVAGE!!! :-)

For 100-500 yards use 15, 600 use 1114, 700-800 use 13, 900 use 12 and 1000 use 11. Constants are for M118 SB. Hate to say this but its "close enough" for the others. The wind formula is a SWAG anyway.
I prefer to use a method borrowed from the brits where you look at a wind chart for your specific round and find a velocity where the round is deflected about 1 moa per 100 yards (1 moa at 100, 5 moa at 500, 10 moa at 1000). WIth the M118, a 10 mph wind fits the bill, according to my USMC wind chart anyway. So all I have to do is to determine the velocity then work off of the 10 mph base windage. Example 5 mph at 500 yards is 2.5 minutes of wind because a 10 mph wind is worth 5 minutes. 15 mph at 1000 yards is 15 minutes, 3 mph at 100 is 1/4 moa. On and on.
If you have a ballistics program you can figure out a specific rounds base wind velocity (bullet deflected 1 moa/hundred yards/meters) and amaze your friends and family as you memorize your wind chart.
I find that I am usually within .5 moa of my wind chart when using this method. Wind charts are a SWAG 90% of the time anyway. Learn to read mirage too. It will help you pick up the other components of a given wind situation.

I have the above and am confused about the Mil Dots it has. It is
one of the last glass etched reticles and the dots are 2 Mil´s apart.
No info from Leupold so far, maybe Premier reticle?, I´ll try.
Anyone out there with the same scope ? How about the 10 or 16 X scopes, if the 10X is a true Mil Dot then what abot the 16 X, 1.6 Mil dot ??? cant be.

I got a Leupold M1 10X MilDot with a Glass Reticle. It is not an Ultra but a Mark4. The MilDots are one Mil apart. They are round. Works great with the Mildot Master. I really been having a lot fun with this great little tool. I got a range here at home, and some steel targets that I set up at random distances. Then I mil out the range and ring the steel. It is so easy. You gotta get one of these.

I talked briefly with Carlos III. He and Jo are "doing okay." (What else would you expect from a Marine family?)
Note the following:
Services will be held at Woodlawn Memorial Garden, Norfolk, VA, (757)455-8781. I asked Carlos about memorial contributions, whether they should go to Jo, or what. He said that they are asking for all memorials to be made to either the Multiple Sclerosis Society or the Navy/Marine Corps Relief. If ("when") you make your memorials, please go a bit out of your way to make sure they know the reason for your contribution. Doing so will make a nice tribute to Carlos II.
For those of you who, no matter what the family wants, prefer to send your donations to Jo, or to send flowers, here's the address.
Let's try to remember that no matter what Carlos II meant to us, he was someone's husband and someone's father and someone's grandfather. Our loss doesn't compare to theirs. Please be respectful of that if you call or write or send flowers.
Speaking personally, I don't know what to say. I'm very sad. I'm lost.

A couple of questions:
Am a novice rifle shooter and thinking that my length of pull on my rifle is too short, is there a way to determine the correct length, don't want to make the length too long. Considering purchase of McMillan with butt spacers to solve problem.
Is it the general consensus that Federal .308 Match 168gr. is the best commercial ammo out there. What about Black Hills? A local shop dealer suggested IMI match 168gr., would like feedback.

Jeff A,
Sounds like the match was fun wish I could have been there!! You need to start shooting that 260 though so we can get some raw data on it.
Are you still out there?? If so How fast can you guys push a 140 out of the 6.5s that you shoot?? and have you ever played with the 6.5-06??? I have a friend who is looking to build one that will push a 140 A-Max at 3000fps.

Those of you who want to send flowers to the Hatchcock family can do so via www.1800flowers.com, which is what I did. I'm still bummed... and he passed away on my wife's 30th birthday.
Scott: It might be difficult to confirm the story of that duel, with those oh-so-trustworthy Nazis and Commies each telling their side of things - Lord knows *those* folks would never lie... I've seen a lot of comments over the years and a few tellings of that story, but nothing truly canonical. Apparently there are some discrepancies in the standard version of the story as well, although I can't remember exactly what off the top of my head. Would be nice if someone really got to the bottom of things, as best as possible, once and for all...

Nice to see you back online.
How's the .338/378-project going?
To Pat, re. 6.5-06.
I'm still out here. Working A LOT with the Y2K problem. Going to do a clocktest this easter.
I've seen a couple of 6.5-06 projects. They were not successful because they used european barrels. Couldn't break 3000fps with 140gr bullets. The 6.5-06 should be able to do it with tighter US-barrels. I've seen .264WM/3100fps and .264-3000/3300fps. Barrellife is less than 1500 rounds. I prefer .260/6.5X55/6.5-284 at 2700-2900fps. Very effective and with a round barrellife. 140gr molycoated bullets at 2600fps gives you 8-10000 round barrellife in SS-barrels.
The ultra high velocity 6.5mm rounds seem to work better with leighter bullets. I'd try bullets in the 120gr range. Nosler 125gr for hunting. The germans use 100-120gr for the 6.5-68.
I'm going to CeBit in march.

LCPL Pierce: There are several good books on assembly/disassembly of various rifles. The DBI book "Firearms Assembly/Disassmbly Part IV", Frank de Haas' "Bolt Action Rifles", and "The NRA Guide to Firearms Assembluy/Disassembly" cover the Enfield #1 style rifles, while the latter two also cover the #4 style. You might want to try the FAQ at www.recguns.com or one of the Enfield rifle sites to see if they have the info you need online.
You don't say exactly what you have disassembled, and your "Enfield .308" could be either the #1 (like the Ishapore 2A1) or #4 (like an L42A1) style. If you could provide specefics I could try to be of more service. In either case, as the new owner of a used Enfield it is probably a good idea to pay the small fee it will cost and have a gunsmith check out the rifle for you.
I've always like Lee-Enfields myself, I really wish I had an L42A1...

I am not really active on the Roster, and have not been for quite some time, as some have hopefully noticed :-) I just had a word with Sarge ( via ICQ - nice toy! ), and he told me about the "site shutdown" talk.
I do not think it is a good idea. The site is international, not just dedicated to the USA, even though the majority of you are from the USA. I have come to a lot of respect for the Gunny, and all he did and achieved and meant. But, if we do it for him, do we also do it when a South African sniper of fame dies? And a German? And a Norwegian?... That is why I do not think it is a good idea, and not because there's not respect.
Of course it is a loss, especially to you people, and us foreigners can understand that, and have great respect for that. I have just put his picture on the front page, with it linking directly to the obituary URL someone posted here. But the site seems to be down right now, so I hope it is the correct address.

IWLCA Academic Honor Squads
PHILADELPHIA - The University of Pennsylvania's women's lacrosse team excelled on the field in 2014, winning an eighth consecutive Ivy League championship. Along the way, the Quakers were starring in the classroom as well, earning recognition from the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) as an Academic Honor Squad for 2014.
The Red and Blue were one of 84 Division I programs honored for having a team GPA of 3.0 or better. All eight Ivy League programs were honored.
Penn won a record eighth consecutive Ivy League women's lacrosse championship in 2014, posting a 13-5 overall record and a 6-1 mark inside the Ancient Eight. The Quakers captured the program's third Ivy League Tournament title to automatically qualify for the NCAA Tournament, winning their first round game over Canisius before falling to eventual national champion, Maryland, in the second round.
The Red and Blue will return 11 starters from the 2014 season next year in addition to the return of 2013 Ivy League Midfielder of the Year Shannon Mangini who missed all of 2014 with injury.

What Brien said about being able to handle it is exactly true. It's just an amazing strength that comes to you. My daughter Meghan started having seizures two years ago, and everyday is a battle filled with so much unknown, but I pull my strength from her.

I have to tell you that Meghan sounds exactly like Bevin. Because of Meghan's seizures and the medications that she is own, we have said 100 times that she walks like a drunken sailor!!! We even call her Captain Jack sometimes :) Also, she has the strongest personality along with the fit throwing. Hang in there :)

You are such an amazing person and I know you will continue to keep up the fight in finding root causes for Bevin's challenges and doing whatever you can to remedy them in seeking all of the help and research that you need. Even in her passing, we are still finding that it is ultimately up to us to advocate for Grace and make sure that her short time here was definitely purposeful. Seeing you start this blog about your own daughter has meant the world to me. I hope it is as helpful and therapeutic as it has been for us. I am including Bevin in my prayers and thoughts every day, as well as your family.

My husband has RA and has had it since he was a kid, some days you'd never know he has it, others you can tell he's in severe pain and trying to hide it. Kids are resilient and with you catching it early there's plenty of time for her to adapt and find something that works. You're a strong, smart, beautiful mother and you're doing the best you can and that's what matters. It may not seem like things are getting better for a while but just remember that everything happens for a reason.Liz Shepherdhttp://email@example.com

SPORTS>> SHS Lions sweep up trophies at Batesville
The Lions built up as much as a 13-point lead on the Golden Goblins in the first half. Harrison rallied in the second half to cut the lead down to as little as four, but the Lions defense held strong in the final moments to stay out front.
The Lions were held to just 12 points in the second half after building a 31-16 lead through the first two quarters. We played really well in the first half, Lions coach Roger Franks said. We knew they would be making a run at us in the second half. They did come back on us, but we were able shut them down towards the end. Searcys biggest defensive accomplishment was holding Golden Goblins offensive leader Trey Sanders to only six points in the entire game. In fact, only Matt Walters reached double-figure scoring for Harrison with 11 points. Offensively for Searcy, senior guard Matt Cramblett led with 20 points. Lions post player Bryan McGrath added 12 points for Searcy. Cramblett and McGrath, along with senior Justin Rowden, were named to the all-tournament team.
The win gives Searcy a 9-1 record, which is pretty impressive considering pre-season talks of the Lions having a down year. Franks says that while the team is off to a solid start, there is always room for improvement. Weve got a long ways to go, Franks said. Hopefully, we can continue to get better. Im happy with the start that weve had, we just need to keep going.
The Lady Lions improved their record to 10-0 with a close 52-50 win over an improved Lady Pioneers team. In the first meeting, the Lady Lions rallied back from an early second-half deficit to win 61-47, but it would not be near as easy this time.
Searcy led 24-21 at the half, but the Lady Pioneers came back to lead in the early minutes of the third quarter. The Lady Lions regained their composure and the lead before the end of the frame 45-39. The Lady Pioneers cut it to within a single score with less than 30 seconds remaining, and had two scoring opportunities in those final ticks. Batesville couldnt get a pair of free throws or a jumper from Marci Moffitt to fall in the last seconds, and the Lady Lions took their second straight tournament title while holding on to a perfect record, now at 10-0. Kayla Medley led the Lady Lions in scoring with 15 points. Kallie Bartee added 12 points, and Taylor Clark finished with 10 points. All three were named to the all-tournament team for their performances in the finals.

text: I wonder if anyone else is having the same problem as me. I have the park distance control feature on my 2003 X5 and I occasionally have to park on the street (as opposed to my garage). I live in downtown Chicago and the terrible drivers and limited parking space has led to my bumpers being hit a few times now and when that happens, the plastic housing of the pdc sensor on the bumper has broken 3 times now. Aside from not parking on the street, has anyone found a solution for this? Is there a housing that is made out of metal or something that would be more durable to the "bump and grind" parking in Chicago? Or, since I don't really need the pdc functionality, can I disable it and just put grommets where the sensors should be for the time being? Thanks for any suggestions!

In Reply to: Re: DC-coupled Foreplay posted by zarniwoop on February 17, 2005 at 17:25:45:
The Foreplay must sound pretty close to the SRPP stage, and the only real reason I wanted to try it is because I have the Anticipation CCS installed on that. The only other possible advantage is the larger chassis space to add stuff in. My ideal implementation would be to switch those CCS boards from the Foreplay to the phase splitter stage, but I seem to have lost the manual which details how to alter the CCS specs. Maybe its time for a post in the Bottlehead forum!
Did you have to adjust many things in the first stage to convert to 6cg7?
I think that I will be sticking with triode mode and no NFB for now, as my new Fostexes allow that.

I maintain 2 sites and wrote the code for a third site, now maintained elsewhere
browser stats
IE 82 .86% (IE7 58.62%, IE8 34 .48%, IE6 6 .90%) FF 14 .29% Safari 2.86%
IE 81 .92% (IE8 52.83%, IE7 36 .79%, IE6 10 .38%) FF 14 .53% Safari 2.78% Other 0.67%
IE 75 % (IE7 63.64%, IE8 26 .26%, IE6 10 .10%) FF 19 .32% Safari 4.58% Chrome 0.76% Netscape 0.38%
these are all general use sites, not web related like Envato is. I am really surprised at the large percentage usage of IE8 , didn't realize it would be that high. Not surprised by the numbers used by non-IE browsers, the general public just does not have the same appreciation for modern browsers that users on this site would, as expected.
I think you will begin to see a large increase in IE8 users as many Windows Vista users will be upgrading to Windows 7 which uses IE8 . Not to mention purchasers of new PC's which will have Windows 7 installed with IE8 as well.
And just for comparison's sake, developers tend to use Firefox more often, and designers tend to use Safari more often (because of more Mac users). Below are the stats from my techy blog:
Firefox 66.10% Safari 10.04% Chrome 9.55% IE 8 .85% Opera 3.16%

I absolutely love a good birth story, but I have to admit that actress Evangeline Lilly's account of her baby boy's arrival – 30 hours of labor, 8 hours of pushing, born "outside in a thunderstorm" – had me cringing just a bit.
Revealing that she "skipped the hospital" – "too many rules," she explains – the Lost beauty says that she really wanted a natural birth so decided to have her baby at home.
I understand where she's coming from. I also wanted – and had – two natural deliveries, but Evangeline's story serves as an example of why I don't think I could ever have a home birth. Because I'm pretty sure that eventually my desire for a natural birth would be outweighed by my desire to get that baby out of me already!
I'm glad for Evangeline, though. Her son arrived healthy and she obviously survived it all, but… eight hours of pushing?! Wow. How is that even possible? It seems it is, though. I stumbled across a discussion on BabyCenter's Natural Unmedicated Childbirth board and some of those moms have birth stories that rival Evangeline's, pushing for hours on end before their babes finally arrived.
My deliveries sure didn't seem easy at the time, but I suddenly feel extremely lucky. Induced both times, my first daughter arrived after 11 mostly manageable hours of labor and my second after 6 very hard hours. I fortunately had to push for just 20 minutes each time (I guess these "childbearing hips" of mine finally came in handy!) and that felt plenty long enough to me!
How about you? How long did you push?

text: SourceSAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, December 21, 2011 (Smithsonian Magazine): Sanjay Patel, 36-year-old pop artist and Pixar veteran, arrives at the entrance of San Francisco's Asian Art Museum, breathless. His vahana, or vehicle, is a silver mountain bike; his white helmet is festooned with multicolored stickers of bugs and goddesses.The name of the show--Deities, Demons and Dudes with 'Staches--is as quirky and upbeat as the 36-year-old artist himself. It's a lighthearted foil to the museum's exhibition, Maharaja: The Splendor of India's Royal Courts. Patel, who created the bold banners and graphics for Maharaja, was given this one-room fiefdom to showcase his own career: a varied thali (plate) of the animated arts."I've known of Sanjay's work for a while," says Qamar Adamjee, the museum's associate curator of South Asian Art. "[Hindu] stories are parts of a living tradition, and change with each retelling," Adamjee observes. "Sanjay tells these stories with a vibrant visual style--it's so sweet and so charming, yet very respectful. He's inspired by the past, but has reformulated it in the visual language of the present."In Patel's show, and in his illustrated books--The Little Book of Hindu Deities (2006) and Ramayana: Divine Loophole (2010)--he distills the gods and goddesses down to their essentials. Now he wheels through the room, pointing to the cartoon-like images and offering clipped descriptions: There's Ganesha, the elephant-headed god, with his cherished stash of sweets; Saraswati, the goddess of learning and music, strumming on a vina; the fearsome Shiva, whose cosmic dance simultaneously creates and destroys the universe.It was while Patel was at California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) that representatives from Pixar, which has a close relationship with the prestigious school, saw Patel's animated student film, Cactus Cooler. "Pixar loved it, and they recruited me." Patel has been at Pixar since 1996.Patel didn't grow up enthralled with Hindu imagery, but the seeds were there. Six years into his Pixar career, he opened an art book and came across paintings from India. "The more I read," he recalls, "the more I was drawn into a world of imagery that had always surrounded me. Before, it was just part of my family's daily routine. Now I saw it in the realm of art."
