The four-door sedan
rolls down the street, pulls over to the side and parks in front
of the Near-Eastside house where seven members of a family were
shot to death.
"There she is again," said Diana French, a neighbor
watching from her front porch across the street. "That car
comes every day. A lot of them do.
"I guess they're just sitting there and praying or
Some do pray -- in their cars, on the sidewalk, on their knees
-- leaving behind handwritten notes or a rosary hanging on the
fence. Others bring gifts such as candles and teddy bears.
Experts call it a form of voyeurism, reflecting a dark
fascination with crime scenes that draws streams of passers-by who
crane to peek into the bullet-riddled or burned-out house. Where
tragedy strikes, the crowds soon turn up, not just neighbors but
strangers from miles around.
While some come to pay their respects, others are motivated
less by compassion and more by simple curiosity. And then there
are those drawn by the sensational.
Most just cruise by or stop for a few minutes, gawk, then move
Seven members of a Hispanic family were killed in the June 1
It was Indianapolis' worst mass slaying, and now the 500 block
of North Hamilton Avenue has become the city's latest crime scene
to draw crowds
"People have always been fascinated with the macabre; it's
human nature," said Scott Michaels, a Los Angeles collector
of morbid information (www.findadeath .com) who also runs Dearly
Departed Tours for those who want to see where the
Charles Manson murders took place or the home of the Menendez
brothers, who murdered their parents for their inheritance
"Locations where these notorious events occur become
landmarks. Some of national significance, some local. And when
something that horrible happens down the street, or just a few
streets over, you can't help wanting to have a look,"
Michaels said.
Gary J. Gorman, a retired New York Police Department officer
who runs a tour business that takes people to famous New
York crime scenes, explains it this way:
"Some people want to go just to answer the question:
'Could this happen to me, or, why this family?' " said
Gorman, who charges $25 per person for a tour of the World
Trade Center site. "Were they rich? Drug dealers? Gang
members? (They are looking for) things they feel may not be in the
Similar streams of traffic rolled through a quiet Southside
neighborhood where in August 2004 a heavily armed Kenneth Anderson
shot and killed three people, including a police officer, before a
SWAT team member shot him dead.
Nearly two years later, people still come.
"Even today we see people stop, especially police
officers," said Joseph Wheeler, 44, who lives at the corner
of Dietz and Gimber streets, where one of two permanent shrines
have been erected in honor of IPD officer Timothy J. Laird.
"You would think it would pass, but they still stop and
honor what those police officers did," said Wheeler.
Similarly, a Northside home where two young girls died in a
fire in March still shows signs of frequent visitors. This week,
graduation balloons were laid at the base of a tree that has
become a shrine in front of the burned-out home.
Other notable area crime scenes include the Gertrude
Baniszewski house on New York Street, where a 16-year-old girl was
tortured to death in the mid-1960s; and the Westfield estate of
Herbert Baumeister, where the bones of 11 murder victims, mostly
teenage boys, were found buried 10 years ago.
Rush hour
Evenings and lunch hours are the busiest times on Hamilton
Avenue. People tend to cruise by on their way home or when they
have a few extra minutes.
Some, like Jamie Williams, 23, who lives on the Southside,
stopped to take a picture because, she said, the shrine was so
touching. "I think the neighbors did a good job of showing
their concern."
Thomas Peek, 44, who lives Downtown, rode his bike to the
neighborhood and stopped to pay his respects.
"I was on my way to do some business over on Michigan
Street. I stopped here because I'm angry," Peek said. "I
don't know anything about them, never met them, but that's not
what is important. Bless those babies. . . . This just takes a
The fence line in front of the home has become a congested
shrine of more than 300 stuffed animals and candles -- more than
200 of them, mostly with images of Our Lady of Guadalupe, an image
of the Virgin Mary and a popular icon in Mexico.
Tabitha Culvahouse, 21, a lifelong Eastsider, added one more
stuffed bear Thursday, "to show support for the family."
It was her second trip to the scene. A few days earlier, she
had driven. "It was a long line of traffic," she said.
Busy, but peaceful
Neighbors say it's the kind of traffic this narrow street,
connecting 10th and Michigan about two miles east of Downtown,
rarely sees.
So far, nobody seems to mind.
"It doesn't bother me," said French, 49, who has
lived here for three years. "It's been busy, but it's been
peaceful, too."
Keeping the peace is one job Frank and Wanda Dodson are eager
to do.
From their front porch immediately across the street from the
shrine, they have kept an eye on gawkers and visitors to the home
where their friends were killed.
"I watch it all the time," said Wanda Dodson.
"If I saw someone or some kid get out and try to take
something, believe me, I'd say something."
So far, they haven't had to.
And they seem to be enjoying the fact that the added traffic
has kept speeding cars to a minimum, making the street a little
more safe for children.
Safety is a big issue for residents, who complain about high
crime rates and abandoned homes in the neighborhood.
"I think it will be three months at least before it gets
back to normal here," said French. "But I don't know if
I want it to be normal again."
Call Star reporter Dan McFeely at (317) 444-6230.
Nobody is urging you to drive by a crime scene. But it happens.
So how should you behave? Here are some tips from Scott Michaels,
who runs Dearly Departed Tours in Los
Stay on public property.
Park your car and walk; you don't want to obstruct traffic.
Don't upset the neighbors.
Loose stones are acceptable, but do not break anything to steal
a piece of the place.
And we would add:
Stay out of the way of working police officers.
Don't cross the yellow- tape line.
Be considerate of others who are present, especially those who
might be praying.

Q Does teeth whitening have any side effects?
Sensitivity during the treatment may occur with some patients. The Zoom! light generates minimal heat which is the usual source of discomfort. On rare occasions, minor tingling sensations are experienced immediately after the procedure, but always dissipate. You can also ask your dentist to supply you with anti-sensitivity toothpaste for use prior to treatment.

U.S. targets Iran
The United States on Tuesday divulged new financial authorizations against Iran over its ballistic rocket program and for adding to territorial pressures and said it was profoundly worried in regards to its "censure exercises over the Middle East."
The declarations came a day after President Donald Trump's organization cautioned Tehran that it was not following the soul of its 2015 atomic concurrence with world forces.
The U.S. targets Iran. Bureau of Treasury said in an announcement it was focusing on 16 elements, and people for supporting what is said was "unlawful Iranian performers or transnational criminal movement."
Those authorized had sponsored Iran's military or Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) by creating automatons and military hardware, delivering and looking after water crafts, and obtaining electronic segments, it said. Others had "arranged the robbery of U.S. what's more, Western programming programs" sold to Iran's administration, the Treasury Department said.
The U.S. State Department had additionally assigned two Iranian associations required in Iran's ballistic rocket program, as indicated by the Treasury Department.
"The United States remains profoundly worried about Iran's censure exercises over the Middle East which undermine provincial soundness, security, and thriving," the State Department said in an announcement.
It said the exercises "undercut whatever 'active commitments' to rural and global peace and security were planned to rise" from the atomic assertion.
The announcement recorded Iranian help for bunches including Lebanon's Hezbollah and the Palestinian Hamas development and additionally the Syrian administration of President Bashar al-Assad and Houthi revolts in Yemen.

3 Reasons Why GNOME-Terminal Isn't Good Enough!
GNOME Terminal might be good enough, but it certainly doesn't rock!
GNOME Terminal might be good enough, but it certainly doesn't rock!
After 1.5 year (GNOME 3.6), Transparency is back to GNOME Terminal 3.12, at least for Fedora installations!
Try the awesome Nova fonts on GNOME Terminal!
GNOME Terminal 3.14 is going to bring massive changes!
A tricky hint that you should know about GNOME Terminal 3.12!
Make Terminal transparent again. Make all windows transparent :)
Colorizing your terminal from predefined palettes.
One of the best new features of GNOME 3.12
So far the most popular languages to write scrips was bash and python. But what about NodeJS?
Terminal is a powerful feature of every *nix like OS but sometimes deadly boring.
Another new amazing feature for GNOME 3.12!
An update to the amazing Final Term!
By looking the logo, you know whats that, don't you? ;)
Shell 3.12 will always launch a new window instance for Terminal.
Whats? Shell Search will provide results for the current running Terminals, and bring focus to the relevant window/tab!
This is how Gnome-Terminal should be ;)
Two more visual changes were pushed in GNOME Shell, one from Cosimo that makes a fixed width in GNOME Shell Search Overview and the other from Jasper who improves the algorithm of the Window Sizes in Overview. These changes will be included in 3.7.5 that is not yet released. Also Terminal has now an Application […]
This is the first release of GNOME Terminal towards to 3.8, and brings a major change. The profiles are now ported to GSettings (bug #624856). Although there aren't any other major changes, there are many small improvements with the most important the removal of Close Option from the context menu, that was leading us many […]
Since 1999 and the initial release of Gnome, Gnome Terminal was the only module that remained -almost- unaltered in time. Panta rhei (everything flows) according to the Greek philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus, and Gnome Terminal couldn't be an exception. Two mockups printed today on Gnome Live and while these are very early designs, the fact […]

In doing research about Pittsburgh history, I found what an important part the city played in the French and Indian War. (mid 1750s-early 1760s.) I read about Pontiac's Rebellion, an offshoot of the French and Indian War, and how if affected Fort Pitt (present-day Pittsburgh.) And here, I thought, was a story in the making, "Dream Weaver," a time travel romance.
Gwen Emrys has been having recurring dreams of an isolated cabin in the woods and a tall, dark stranger who lives there. She wonders what is causing these dreams. On a hunch, she visits a restored village near her home. And there, she is flung back in time, back to this same isolated cabin. . . and to the tall, dark stranger.
Christian is as shocked as Gwen when she appears at his doorstep. Where did this oddly-dressed woman come from? When he questions her, she tells him she's from the year 2014. She must be crazy, Christian figures; she's got maggots in her head. Or--she's a spy for the French. He doesn't know which, but he intends to find out.
Soon, Gwen realizes that she is stuck here in the 18th century for the rest of her life. And soon, she realizes why she was sent back in time--she must save Christian's life in the coming Indian Rebellion. She failed him once before. She can't fail him again. So, "Dream Weaver" also deals with reincarnation.
It's not easy for a contemporary woman to adjust to life in the 18th century, a hard life on the frontier. But Gwen realizes she has no choice, for by now, she is deeply in love with Christian and can't imagine life without him.
Much research went into writing "Dream Weaver," especially Pontiac's Rebellion and how it affected Fort Pitt. There are also all the aspects that comprise a historical novel--dress, food, life on the frontier.
Since Christian is a doctor, I read as much as possible about medicine in the 18th century. In my research, I found that the doctor at Fort Pitt died shortly before the Rebellion,and I found no mention of what doctor replaced him. With much soul-searching and upon the advice of other writers, most notably best-selling author Jo Beverly, I gave the role to Christian.
While the Indian tribes attacked Fort Pitt, a smallpox epidemic raged there. This is a historical fact that demanded more research. And here I came upon another historical fact--the commandant at Fort Pitt purposely gave the Indians blankets infected with smallpox. Germ warfare in the eighteenth century.
Despite all the research, "Dream Weaver" was fun to write. I came to care for Gwen and Christian as I have for my other heroines and heroes.
"Dream Weaver" is available in both ebook and print. Unfortunately, time travel romances are not as popular as they were during their heyday about fifteen years ago. Let's hope their popularity returns.

Print copies are available by request at all bookstores and online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Books A Million.

Want to Improve Your Leadership and Business? Talk to Three Groups Daily
Simply put, the most successful leaders have an open and candid dialogue – on a daily basis – with three critical constituents: their employees, their vendors, and their customers. In my executive coaching and leadership development practice, I am still blown away by how many leaders lack both a culture and systems of communicating with each of these three groups. And then they are blown away when key employees leave or under-perform, key vendors disappoint, and key customers move on. These groups are the heart of a leader's business and he or she has to be taking their pulses daily. No way around it.

The primary reason for changing settings on your Windows is to resolve some technical issues. However, this process can delete bloatware from your computer. If you follow Microsoft's recovery suggestions, you can start over.
In order to help users resolve the most frequently encountered issues, the company has allowed you to reset your computer, regardless of whether the problems happen on your laptop or a PC. In addition, in the middle of the year 2016, Microsoft has launched an application to let users download a clean version of Windows running on Insider Preview Builds without bloatware. Keep reading the information below to find out more about all the alternative methods you can try to reboot and wipe your computer.
Step 1: recognise the issue itself
In a nutshell, there is plenty of ways to resolve problems with Windows. However, before you begin resetting your computer, try other different fixes ranging from finding out the BSOD codes or simply checking that you are 100% sure that you do not know how to deal with some common issues, and that yours is not one of them.
Step 2: Recovery of your PC and Methods of Resetting
In case you are unable to resolve the problems independently, the only option left is rebooting your Windows. Follow the steps below to do so:
- Find the option, go to Settings (in Start Menu), or look up " settings" in the search bar of the same menu.
- Click on "Update and security" and then "Recovery"
- Press on "Reset PC". Alternatively, you can also go to "Advanced Start-up"; "Get Started" (which is in the "Reset this PC" window). Another window will appear, and you will be presented with a choice of 2 methods: 1) "Keep my files" 2) "Remove everything".
Bear in mind that these 2 options are not the same. Keep reading to find out more about each.
Option 1: "Keep my files"
The main purpose of this is to delete all applications and change the settings, but to leave personal documents of yours safely kept.
Once you choose this method, your Windows will load all programs which will be deleted soon from either the Windows Store or just the Applications, which you downloaded.
Afterwards, your computer will keep a record of the applications, which were deleted during this rebooting process on the desktop, once everything is finalized.
Option 2: "Remove everything"
This method is perfect for those of you who do not particularly worry about your personal documents (if you have them saved somewhere else), as it deletes more information than "Keep my files".
Ways of deletion
After pressing on "Remove everything" you will need to choose between the 2 again: either "Just remove my files" (for users who wish to keep utilizing their computer after the rebooting process) or "Remove files and clean the drive" (for those who are planning on selling their computer or reusing some of its parts for making another one). The last method requires much more time to delete, as it cleans your hard disk a couple of times. This makes it nearly impossible for unwanted people to gain access to these erased documents.
Having made a decision about your option, another window will show up on the screen, which will clearly state which files and documents will disappear from your PC as a result of the deletion process.

Betrayal – Infinite Circles
Betrayal – Infinite Circles Written by Ken Bowden for Bloodrock Media on June 7, 2016 Deutschland's own Betrayal is set to release their full length, debut album entitled, Infinite Circles, on June 17, 2016, courtesy of Transcending Records. The fellas are bringing their hardcore badassery straight to melodic death metal fans door steps with no apologies and no fucks given. Infinite Circles kicks off with the track "The Shell", which immediately sets the stage that this album is going to be a ripper, straight fire, I haven't gone from zero to hype this quick since Lamb of God's As the Palaces Burn. "The Shell" boasts a break down so epic that it will have fans ready to smite their enemies with fervor they've never experienced before. The fourth track, "Contamination", has a couple of slam worthy riffers and is totally worth a one person mosh pit. Lyrically, "Contamination" is a delicious slice of the dark poetry pie. 'Contamination, spreading from inside, enslaving the vessel…reign of the parasite…'; is just a sample and yet stands alone, absolutely sensational. And all this before we get to "Fighting Perdition", which is nothing less than killer, fans must see the video on YouTube and will immediately understand why. EPIC! Betrayal brings a mix of brutality and raw, heavy groove that fans of bands such as Black Dahlia Murder or Death will find satisfying and...Read More

No matter how large or small a couples wedding budget might be, the following are a few wedding budget tips that will help a couple stay within budget and save money, but still have a beautiful wedding.
Do it Yourself
Whenever possible, a couple should recruit friends and family to help them with certain tasks. Brides, bridesmaids, maid of honor, and mothers can help with creating table centerpieces, wedding favors, calling vendors, making appointments, and decorating. If someone is a skilled baker, ask them to bake the wedding cake or treats for the wedding reception.
Limited Guests
Weddings are a joyous time and many couples find themselves stressing over whom to invite to the wedding as to not upset anyone. However, it is important to limit the number of guests. For everyone who attends the wedding, a meal and miscellaneous gifts will need to be provided. Start out with a master guests list and then begin weeding it down. Not inviting children, neighbors, past and present co-workers and employers, are some ways to weed down the guest list to a reasonable and affordable number.
Avoid Holidays and Popular Months
Many wedding vendors, hotels, churches, house of worship, and reception locations offer discounts for the "off season". By having a wedding during the slow months, this also ensures the couple will be able to make reservations for the day they wish to have.
Honeymoons can be a fantastic and wonderful way for a couple to celebrate their wedding and new life as a married couple. Reservations should be made many months in advance and if possible, during off peak times. Look for bulk deals for flights and hotel accommodations. For popular places like Hawaii and Las Vegas, a couple can choose to get married and celebrate their honeymoon without ever having to leave to another destination.
Wedding Cakes
This is one of the wedding budget tips that often are overlooked. Everyone wants a wedding cake of their dreams, but a wedding cake can be very expensive. To cut back on costs, many couples will order one small wedding cake, decorated in full detail, and then have flat sheet cakes made in the same flavor as the wedding cake to feed their guests.
Wedding Bands
Keep the wedding bands simple and consider alternative metals. Many couples also choose to use the same jeweler as they did for their engagement rings. By doing this, the jeweler may offer discounts, or be more open to offering discounts for repeat customers.

Thursday, March 08, 2007 I'm nearly done with the Integral dialogue project over at the Integral Review, at least the dialogue on my paper. Here's what I notice so far:Nice folks, really earnest. Some creativity. I'm intrigued (in the positive sense) with some of the stuff people came up with. So far, so good. Heavy reliance on secondary sources. Lots of claims about, say, Derrida, but not a whole lot of citations of Derrida. Many claims on nonduality, often cited in Loy or other scholars rather than in primary sources. Some overreaching, some overconfidence. One reader, for example, went to great lengths to disprove a point I didn't even make. I appreciate this kind of diligence, but it would have been a lot easier for everyone if this individual had simply understood the extent of my argument. Some reductive thinking in the forum, too; I suppose I'm guilty of this also.On balance: productive, sure, but the format is too fast. There's no way anyone's going to catch some of the fun I had weaving cultural and literary allusions in, or even some of the wordplay I indulged in. Whatever. I think it'll be worth reading later on, as it's a mine of ideas for scholars interested in integral theory.This sort of thing turns me into an emotional wreck. At this moment, I'd like to just hole up in my office and read Edmund Spenser for a few hours, accompanied by a warm cup of black coffee and some comfort food. posted by DGA at 11:01 AM 0 comments

Ruger's dropped the veil on their new not-so-secret-any-more duty-size gun, the Ruger American. First a dealer leaked pics of the new gun. Now, when you go to Ruger.com, you get a dramatic video intro-ing the new, fully ambidextrous challenger to the likes of the M&P, GLOCKs, the XD, etc. Surprising no one at all, the first calibers available are 9mm and .45 ACP. The pistol MSRP's at $579. If history is any indicator, expect a street price somewhere between $475 and $525. [Specs after the jump] Clearly, Ruger's playing . . .
the "made in America" card. Given GLOCK's Austrian roots, SIG's German beginnings, FN's Belgian history, Springfield's Croation connection and Smith & Wesson's Massachusetts base, Ruger obviously considers made-in-Prescott-AZ a unique selling point. Oh wait . . .
99 Responses to New From Ruger: The Ruger American Pistol
Yep, I'll definitely be looking at one of these, instead of an SR45, for the full-sized .45ACP I've been wanting.
All they need is a factory threaded barrel model under $600 and I'd be looking for a new .45acp also.
The SR9 has a MSRP of $569 but actually sells for $400-450. So, I'd expect these to be in a similar ballpark.
I also note that these have 4.2″ barrels, which means they should be legal for our Canadian brothers and sisters. Of course Canadians get a little irritated when people from the U.S. use the term "Americans". All of us from the western hemisphere are Americans eh?
…but if they call me a Statesider I get to call them Provincials.
Take off, hoser.
Actually no we are not all Americans…Those of us from the United States of America are Americans…all others need to apply for citizenship….
Was thinking the exact same thing.
So according to their tag-line my 1911 is un-American?
(I know, I know … They're talking about polymer pistols.)
Heck, my Ruger SR40 is un-American
How does this one treat you I'm about to go grab one for 500 with two clips and I think I'm getting a bad deal but I like rugers and he talked it up.??
Curious, their spec sheet says the 9mm has a 17 round capacity, but their image of the magazine clearly shows the number 16 on the lowest witness hole. That always annoys me. put the witness holes where they matter… Max capacity, Half, and nearly empty.
Ruger magazines for SR series have holes on both sides. Even and odd counting
Flip the mag over and it says 17. Bullets dont stack one on top of eachother. I got the american 9mm and its owns the mos glock 17….owns it. Ohh the glock has a spot for optic sites, but you still need the sites, and a larger front site in order to clear the optics, add that to it being $100+ more and boom you have optics on your ruger. The american pistol is a low oil, military based gun, law enforcment based gun. Trust me say good bye to the glock. Ruger just stepped up the game. Big time. 700 rounds 0 issues.
The 17 is on the other side of the magazine
Also just picked one up for $435.
Just once, I'd like to see a gun video without "action hero" music. Maybe some klezmer?
Kletzmer only plays for arms from IWI ….
MSRP $579, sooo, figure street prices in the high $400s? Yeah, I'll give them a good hard look. Surprised they didn't have a .40 S&W option as well at launch, honestly.
If the .45 version had just been at least a 13 +1, I would have seriously considered it to replace my XD .45 as my nightstand gun, but with a capacity of 10 rounds, it's not a contender for me. If Glock, Springfield and FN can make .45s in decent capacity, why can't others?
A .45 with decent capacity? Lots of companies make 1911s. =)
My FNX 45 (capacity is 15) is so wonderful that I won't even consider another 45 caliber weapon. Seriously it's so good that I'm done in that segment. It has amazed every one of my friends that have shot it and I got mine for under $700 so I'm happy.
Same here. Xdm 3.8 .45acp… If I want only 10 rounds I'd just buy a 1911 with a 10 round mag. As it is my croatian connection runs 13 with a +3 extender.
I like Ruger's products and would definitely buy one if I had the money to burn… But I don't want it that much that I would sell one of my other handguns to get the money for one.
I can not tell a lie thou………I want this gun……badly! Looks like Ruger really did their homework on what is selling and what is the new breed of pistol that consumers are buying. From the looks of the gun and from the video it looks very ergonomic and like a really up to date platform. If the initial reviews are great ill buy 100% for sure. Gonna take a really good gun to best the PPQ or VP9 in my opinion as far as the best striker fired gun out there, but nothing wrong with owning several. This gun peaks my interest big time
Or the TP9V2 or the Magnum Research MR9 (which is more or less a licensed PPQ clone).
SHHHHH, don't tell everyone about the Canik's, they might realize it would take $1000 US dollars to purchase one in Turkey, let them keep thinking it's a cheap made else where gun.
TP9 SA – TP40 SA BLACK 3.050,00 TL or $1044.74 I am sure there is a some VAT or other taxes hidden in there like our 11% FET on firearms the manufacturer passes along to us in the MSRP price.
3, 2, 1, ….. It's made in Turkey, it's blah blah blah…….
yeah, though the TP9V2 is more comparable to the Ruger American and PPQ as it's a double/single action, whereas the VP9 and TP9SA are single action only.
Wouldn't mind seeing a TP45 and TP45SA eventually. I think Canik55 would be able to get a respectable magazine capacity out of it, say 14 rounds.
I have never liked ruger handguns, never felt right. I am looking forward to trying this one, it looks good.
I have the TP9 V1. Great gun. Saving for a V2, althought it appears alot got purchased this Xmas.
The biggest issue is that the guns are from Turkey. Quality is not the issue however (IMHO) …. its Importing the guns from Canik.
Based on Caniks web site they have 9 mm, 40, and may be planing a move into the 380 market. (why else include 380 on all the spec sheets the put NA for every model) I doubt we wil see any Canik in a 40 S&W just because they wont sell enough in the US.
Canik has alot of guns I would like to just get my hands on. The issue is how many will sell. I have heard from a reasonably reliable source that Sharks and Stingrays won't be imported again because they sold so slowly. Of course close versions can be purchased from Tristar – and they are still Caniks.
My guess is the supply of Canik will continue to be TP9s – Mainly the V2 and the SF in 9mm in Black and Tan, and the CZ clones sold by Tristar, because thats what is selling in the market.
I can squeeze a reply in here, as of 3 days ago there were only 3 well 2 TriStar T-120 in a major distributor stock. A couple months back Jeremy S just had to do a review (aka LOOK AT ME I'M REVIEW SOMETHING NEW TO KEEP THE FIREARM WORLD SELLING PRODUCTS) on a Spinx vs CZ 75. CZ 75 beat it out. But introduced me to the CZ 75 platform.
I have a Navy friend that lives within blocks of Spinx US HQ, I could send him the firearm to drop off for repair (he's nationally ranked 1000 yard compitition shooter, I know he's cleared up to and including Top Stupid)
The guts of a TP9 SA and V2 are EXTREMELY close to the P99. If the P99 barrel was not so $$$ I would buy a threaded one to do a cross check to see if they are the same. I would not be shocked in the least bit if Canik sourced parts from Walther vice making everything in house. You might be amazed back in the 70's GM foundry was casting Ford and Dodge parts. I am sure they were doing the same for GM. That would give us Canik owners a source of parts if something with Turkey and Canik happened. Turks are an interesting people, having been there a few times, not recently, I enjoyed my visits. Very proud of their history much like we are.
I have a SA and V2 both are extremely fun pistols. The reason there are only 2 T-120 now is cause one is finding it's way to my FFL. My first CZ 75 clone. In the running was a Spinx ($$$$), Jericho 941 (LEO/MIL discounted pricing) CZ 75 (will consider the threaded barrel model of the Omega series next year) Canik55 Shark FC, could not find one for sale. Tristar T-120 seemed to be the best bang for the buck$.
Canik has the TP9SFx listed but no price on their site, it's going after competition shooters, MSRP from Century Arms is "$539" in a video I watched.
Someone spoke of Ruger not bring out a .40SW, seems like a lot of LEO departments are moving away from the .40SW, the 9mm is the new .40SW. There are a lot of used .40SW models LEO trade in showing up on various sites for sale. I own a USPc .40sw, was my EDC till I picked up a VP9. Canik find a IWB holster for the can't, so it's home and garage defense in quick opening hidden safes.
The MR9 is NOT a PPQ clone.
It is a licensed (and partially produced by Walther) P99 clone.
My SR9c is a fantastic carry pistol with a great stock trigger. Hopefully this one will be comparable…
"….Because it is a serial numbered component, the
fire control insert is defined as a "firearm" by Federal law and is not
sold as a separate component…"
Lots of other interesting details here:
Yeah, *very* interesting!
It looks like it has a Sig-like modular fire control group!
Maybe Ruger is producing more calibers for that gun…
Leaving the door open for the upcoming military trials, methinks…
as a cross dominate person — I love the fully ambidextrous trend. Current gun is an FNX. May have to consider one of these.
I'm a lefty. The HK P series pistols are the best ambidextrous controls I've ever personally experienced. I'd strongly recommend you check them out if you're in the market.
I have not yet forgiven Ruger.
For what exactly, prey tell.
Totally understandable since the man that made those choices has been dead for almost 14 years and those policies have long since been reversed.
It's not like Smith, GLOCK, and others are perfect, either.
considering Ruger has been giving Bill Ruger the finger for the last few years and doing everything he hates and slapping his name on the side of those things loudly and proudly.. I'd say you're pretty much holding out for no reason and missing out on a lot of great products with that mindset.
Me neither. Last two Ruger purchases were total let downs.
Ruger American Ranch .300BK – 40% light primer strike
Ruger SR556 – would not cycle. Had to manually eject every round with charging handle.
Ya. I know Ruger would make it right. But guns I've owned from S&W, Savage, Springfield, Sig, FNH, Palmetto State Armory and Taurus didn't have any problems out of the box. So I've sworn I won't buy any more Ruger products.
If you had a problem with a car under warranty would you just sell it?
Everyone has issues sooner or later. I had an M&P Shield with a bad crown. Smith fixed it for free and gave me a free mag! Ihave heard similar stories of a Ruger.
I have a customer with 7 Ruger American rifles in various calibers. All shoot under 1 moa groups with factory ammo.
Not calling the factory is like complaining about politics and not voting.
You dumb ass yeah a buddy of mind bought a sr9 swore it wouldn cycle I shot 100 round through it no mal functions at all its him or his cheap ammo I have several Sr series ruger including the 1911 and fns and. Glock and a m&p 40 my rugers shoot as good or better than any of them I love seeing people over look the quality of rugers to see them pay a lot more for a gun that's no better
I don't get it. What's the rationale for this pistol? Ruger already makes polymer striker-fired pistols. What unanswered need does this one fill? The price is not all that compelling, and the thing is UGLY, at least to me. Don't get me wrong, I'm all in favor of more options in the market, but if I owned stock in Ruger, I'd have some questions…
My guess is to compete for military contract.
I thought of that too, but doesn't our military have a thing for manual safeties? Though they could be gunning for a foreign contract…
Would be easy to make a safety variant for the MHS trials….
"I don't get it. What's the rationale for this pistol?"
Psssst! You know that modular Sig firing control group….?
One trigger group to rule them all?
Hmmm. I see that the design is the same. However, Ruger makes no mention of that on their website, and the manual specifically says NOT to disassemble it past the field-stripping stage. (NO USER SERVICABLE PARTS…) There is no mention in the manual of removing the FCG, nor of changing grip sizes beyond the backstraps. Even if Ruger puts out replacement grip frames and slides, why would I buy a copy of a Sig when an actual Sig is in the same price ballpark (within $100-$150)? Still don't get it.
Well, you would be buying American, not German (or is Sig Swiss? Austrian?)…
I like Ruger products, but the SR series has too many "safety features" for my liking. I'm OK with a thumb safety under some circumstances, but the ridiculous chamber flag and (IMHO) dangerous magazine disconnect were deal breakers for me. Since the LC9s Pro came out, I've been hoping they'd give the SR series the same "Pro" treatment.
I would love to see an SR9c PRO, with an improved trigger (if possible, mine is excellent), no mag disconnect, no LCI, ported barrel/slide, and tritium night sights…
I think the purpose is to provide a gun with bigger capacity than the LC9S with similar feel. I test drove it and absolutely loved it. I love all the additional features like the ambidextrous mag release and the ability to shoot without a mag loaded.
kind of just a little bit, has the overall profile of a tp9sa. no? Looks to be a great contender in the polymer gun field. Good job ruger. Cant wait to see a subcompact version.
They SHOULD up sell the Arizona connection. I've never said this before about a new release, But I'm buying one as soon as my tax refund comes in. I love Ruger's products, but their customer service bought my loyalty years ago. Good job Ruger, if this pistol sucks, you'll break my damned heart.
I would love to buy this gun but I have learned from experience to never purchase version 1.0 of any product.
That is spot on.
I just watched the videos posted today by who I assume are folks paid to praise the pistol in exchange for early access. Didn't Remington do the same thing with their botched pistol?
Anywho, the ejection seems very erratic. Spent casing fly in every which way, sometimes barely oozing out, sometimes shooting out. There's a very small gap between the top of the interchangeable backstrap and the frame. They don't exactly meet and I'm not sure if that could be uncomfortable or not. Looks like your hand could get pinched there and it would not be fun. But maybe I'm wrong.
Obviously I'm not expecting a $1000 gun quality here, but even $500 seems too much. And 30 oz empty? Ouch.
Not CA or MA compliant? I'm wondering how soon they will correct that.
Will never be CA complaint unless it has micro-stamping. Well, correction, in 10 years when the current lawsuit has its 10% chance of overthrowing the CA safe handgun roster it could be CA compliant…
Unfortunately, there is no way to.
MA uses CA's list.
CA's list requires microstamping in at least 2 places, which has never happened before. California has not had a new pistol added since the MS requirement (except through some trickery they added the Armatix somehow)
Yep. It's blatantly unconstitutional, and yet it's still there. LE can buy off list and transfer to taxpayers. CA gun laws are terrible.
I'm more inclined to give money to those in a free state than a police state. But I don't have a need for a 9mm or .45 pistol right now. I'm pretty heavily invested in the ones I own and don't want to be buying new mags, holsters, and so forth.
I wonder if the grip is on the smaller side? That would be an attractive feature for women who want a full-size pistol. Its 30 ounce weight, however, is a bit much for women who are not all that interested in schlepping around more than 2 pounds (fully loaded) on their hip.
Interchangeable backstraps.
$45 per mag….no thanks
Full size pistol with only a 4.2″barrel…looks like they took a page out of the M&P playbook.
I just noticed that the trigger guard has the same profile as the M&P as well … I wonder if Ruger was going for holster compatibility/interchangeability between the two brands of pistols? That would actually be a smart move in my book … people who want to purchase the new Ruger American pistol would be delighted to learn that a whole plethora of accessories already exist which happen to be made for the Smith and Wesson M&P series.
Now, if this new pistol has a really nice trigger out of the box — versus the gritty abomination that is (or at least used to be) the stock trigger on the M&P series — Ruger would be in a position to wrench a lot of sales away from Smith and Wesson.
Will they have a threaded barrel version ?
What's the point of this gun? They already have the SR series and the E series. Also, this new gun is ugly as sin.
I'm interested to see how well that barrel cam works to drop recoil myself. I'll head to the range in a few days to try it out, since they've apparently got them in stores already.
I wonder what will become of the SR-series at this point? I love everything about the SR9c except for the dinky Chiclet safety that snags my fingers whenever I rack it.
Apparently they did design it with the military handgun contract in mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UI-nEvHtLPc
Until CA laws change, there will NEVER be any new CA compliant models from anyone.
I will pass on these, they're clearly being made for Army MHS trials and LEO contracts. I'd rather have Glock or Springfield as the user base is much larger, mags easier to find and cheaper, and track record much longer.
And that's just two companies, I didn't even mention FN, H&K, or S&W. Ruger's gonna have a tough time finding a cut in that market share.
As a primary carry/defensive/duty weapon, yes, they will have a lot of trouble establishing themselves in that roll. However, there are a plethora of gun owners (myself included) that own several guns from different manufacturers that are not used for the aforementioned purpose. People will buy them, just to see what they are like. Will they acquire a significant market share? I doubt it. The SR series of pistols aren't that bad, especially when you consider the sub $400 price tag, but they never caught on en mass as a primary carry/duty guns. I know a couple of guys that use them as truck/garage guns because of the price and just to own something different.
Honestly, I just don't see Ruger as an automatic pistol manufacturer, at least not for larger guns. I like their LCP and LC9's, I think those brought something new to the table, especially the LC9s Pro when it came out. For Glock it's the opposite: love their larger, duty guns, but dislikes their smaller single stacks.
I'm all for new pistols, but Ruger has a long history at making mediocre autoloaders. They also have something of a history of flavor-of-the-week models. This model looks nice, but I'll pass. Smith & Wesson and Glock are just too dominant in this segment for me to consider this one. (Plus Glock is within easy driving distance. They're MY home team.)
If their early guns work well, I could see ruger eating Smith & Wesson's lunch as their M&PS are still plagued with issues a decade after launch and agencies are slowly giving up on them…
I think the SIG P320 series is going to get to that lunch before Ruger does.
LA sheriff deputies seem to love their new M&P's so much they let rounds fly all the time. Story last week about their 4X AWCRAP discharges as with their old Berettas.
Will wait for the civilized…. err, threaded versions to come out later.
Unimpressed. I'm not sure was this will do that isn't done by the better-looking SR9.
One thing it will do that the SR9 won't is compete in the military handgun trials to replace the M9…
So it's 1.40″ wide? That's a mite FAT. Seems pretty ordinary to me. Nice they're made in America but I care more about function than national origin.
Yep. Darn near a quarter-inch wider than a Glock 17, which is no svelte shooter itself.
Also 15%-20% heavier, and taller.
Good luck, Ruger, you're gonna need it.
1.4″ wide?
This will be interesting to test out. However, I don't see it replacing my P320. I am looking at picking up a Ruger American Rifle Predator in .308 with a threaded barrel and a 22/45, also with a threaded barrel.
Ruger's spec sheet say's 30 ounces. That's pretty lame for a polymer pistol. I'd much prefer an alloy frame. Give us that, and a steel offering. I also wish smith would bring back their lineup of alloy/steel framed semi autos…
Will this replace the SR9? When will there be an American Compact comparable to the SR9c?
Would be nice if SOMEone finally got the modular gun right. HINT HINT.
Need cheaper grip modules and caliber conversions. Really shouldn't be that hard. We'll see, though. It'll probably be a couple years before any of that happens. Still I think this is exciting. Will be nice to see where this all goes, and honestly I think that's some good looking hardware.
EDIT: Wait I just realized they are doing the replaceable back strap thing… Huh… Maybe that's temporary and or in addition to different grip sizes? Maybe the'll do short/long with exchangeable grips. That'd be interesting.
This is all so interesting to compare to the sig modulars.
American Looks like a Canik…… LCP looks like a Kel-Tec….. Mini-14 looks like a M14………I'm seeing a pattern here.
While I realize there are a lot of racists / xenophobic people in the Republican party (and thus the gun community), to me "Made in America" means low quality and overpriced. For an equal price, I'd definitely buy a German / Austrian gun.
Where does this gun fit in? Heavier than the SR9, it doesn't make sense. As a military sidearm 30 oz is way too heavy. These guys are already lugging around a ton of stuff, the FNX 9mm or Glock would be good, they need something light.
My SR9 is an amazing handgun for less than $400. Surprised how many comments say Ruger doesn't make any good full size guns.
I feel like we as Americans live in a great country and during a time when we have so many great choices in high quality firearms. I have learned after spending hours at the range that when one person shoots a gun maybe not so good they can shoot another one better. It is all in what firearm fits that person the right way. It would be very hard to say which is the best. Many great choices, you have to shoot to decide. Spend that time at the range.
Eddie O. Phillips
Finally shot this gun today. There is absolutly ntohing about this pistol that stands out or shines. At all. It is about as close to average as a pistol can get. Not the most ergo grips( the giant backstraps and clear crease and seperation are noticeable when purchasing the gun). Long ass take up (although it is smooth and light) and just as long reset not to mention no less felt recoil than almost all polymer pistols on the market make this a very average and blah pistol. Nothing about it at all makes me want to move away from the other outstanding polymer striker fired pistols on the market. Very very average. Ill pass for sure

Untitled (comprehension based on walking sticks, umbrella sticks and disconnected emotions), Installation (5 x 6 m) with kinetic sculptures run by a homemade computer system translating movement data from live walking stick insects, 2008
Shadow sculpture mounted on painting, 2012
Live performance with Petter Ballo, Macro museum, Rome, 2012
For Papay Gyro Nights Bakketun and Norum will do an outdoor kinetic installation and live performance.
Andrea Bakketun (NO) lives and works in Oslo. Her work is mainly installation and video, where elements like text, rebuilt electronic devices, living organizms, nature forces and the audience in different ways are composed together. Using movement as an instrument, she stages situations where everyday objects and kinetic sculpture are the main actors. She weaves togheter different sources of symbols, such as science, psychology, magic and the laws of physics.
Bakketun has also initiated and curated the exhbition Five thousand generations of birds, in Fitjar on the west coast of Norway, together with Silje Linge Haaland.
Christian Tony Norum (NO) makes art in an surprising energetic and instinctive way. He says his studio is everywhere. If you had watched him working, it's just the most natural way to do it this way. He´s using history of abstract painting as almost innocent open source. Right, that's hard to imagine. Its not about referentialism or feeding art historians. So in his best paintings this former historical ideology feels like deleted or washed away by time and a brave attitude. So one can watch this formal visual vocabulary about the radical unutterable in an astonishing neutralized point of view.

Rural community to mark double
Vintage vehicles will partially shut a state highway when a Southland community celebrates its heritage and future this year.
Gorge Road, a rural township about 25km southeast of Invercargill, will mark 150 years of settlement in March, while Gorge Road School is celebrating 125 years of education.
The two milestones are being observed together at a weekend-long community jubilee.
Gorge Road and Districts Jubilee Committee chairman Mark Hamill said the jubilee would be a big event for the district, even affecting the main road through town.
During the celebrations, a parade of vintage machinery, cars and floats would close one lane of Gorge Road's main thoroughfare, a state highway, he said.
"It's a big event when it shuts down the main street of Gorge Road."
As well as the parade, the jubilee weekend would include a meet and greet, time capsules and cake-cutting, a banquet and dance at the Invercargill Workingmen's Club, a church and memorial service, and a gala and sports day.
Gorge Road School, which now has about 60 pupils, merged with five other schools, Kapuka, Kapuka South, Morton Mains, Oteramika and Waituna, to create its present zone, and former pupils from all schools are being encouraged to come and catch up with old classmates.
Registrations had been pouring in, but former pupils, teachers, residents and well-wishers still had a few more days to get involved in the event, with registrations closing on January 31, Mr Hamill said.
More information about the event, as well as old school photographs, can be found on the Gorge Road School & Districts 125th Jubilee Facebook page.

Why the USMLE Step 3 exam is tough:
1. CONTENT: There's a lot of content for the USMLE Step 3. Remember when you were at medschool and you asked your teacher what the exam was about, and she answered "everything"? Surprise! This is actually the case. You will be asked about Peds, IM, OBGYN, Surgery, etc. Everything. So why is this a problem? Because when you start looking for sources where to study from, you'll realize that there is no 1 optimum source of information. I used the MASTER OF THE BOARDS textbook, and it was pretty slick in letting me know what I needed to defeat the STEP 3. Still, I was fresh out of studying for the Steps 1-2, giving me an edge over those who have undergone residency and completely forgotten about everything else but their specialty. This is a really tough exam. So if you've forgotten most of your PEDS, IM, etc., you'll probably need to go back to your Step 2CK notes and whatnot.
2. LENGTH: Step 3 is LONG. By long I mean: we all thought Step 1 was long, right? Hell, Step 3 is LONGER. 2 days, man! 2 freaking days of exam, 8 hours per day. If getting hit by a baseball bat on the head when you were young didn't roast your brain, this exam surely will. This was my experience: DAY 1, I rocked the exam or at least I felt that way, which is what matters. DAY 2, I was wasted. I had such a hard time getting up from bed and going to the exam that I almost lost all hope. No, and it gets worse. Listen to this:
I go to the Prometric center, beat up of course, and as I arrive and check-in with the secretary, she tells me I can't take the exam. "But why?" I ask her full of fear, nervousness, and shear defeat, "Because your name on your passport and your name on your exam aren't --exactly-- the same." Damn. I bit my lip one too many times and felt my life being sucked out of me. "You mean, I have to take the exam on another date again?" I asked. "Yes. You'll have to reschedule." Holly molly. Kill me now.
"I've prepared for this exam for months now! There must be something I can do!"
"I'm sorry."
After almost half and hour of struggling, the secretary calls me up and says, "You'll be able to take the Step. Sorry, but our system showed your names didn't match, but they do. You're clear to go!"
Oh man. After being beat up so badly by so many negative thoughts, I sat down at the chair and started the exam. I felt I sucked that entire day during the entire exam. In the end, I think it really affected my score. My psychological status was disgusting and quite frankly, taking a really difficult exam under such circumstances sucked. Anyway, lesson learned. ALWAYS be 100% your names match everywhere. Mine did, but just so you know, if they don't, it won't matter if you've studied for 1 whole year. You'll have to reschedule.
3. DIFFICULTY: Listen to no one who tells you this exam is easy. It isn't. It's just as hard as all other Steps, except that now it's 2 days long and has a CSS part at the end of the 2nd day, where you'll be exposed to live cases with "real life" scenarios while you take "real life" decisions.
CONCLUSION: You have to prepare yourself for this exam just as well and thouroughly as you did for any other step.
TIP: Take Step 3 BEFORE RESIDENCY. Why? After 3 years of PEDS, IM, SURGERY, you'll forget your basics about every other specialty. Don't waste the edge you've won by preparing for Steps 1-2. Take some time off and then jump right into action and be done with Step 3.
1. Buy USMLE World's Step 3 prep pack which will include:
- Qbank
- CSS cases (REALLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU PRACTICE!)
- Simulated Exam
2. Buy any review book. I used MASTER OF THE BOARDS. It was OK.
3. There is no perfect review book for Step 3. This means you'll have to be very honest with yourself. I you feel you need more prep, then go back to you Step2 notes and get back in the game. If you feel you only need refreshing your skills, then go ahead and study the review book and do LOADS of questions for Step 3.
Step 3 questions depend solely on the scenario given to you at the moment. The question may vary in 1 single word and you have an entirely different question. There is no optimal book because every situation is unique. The only way you'll get used to answering a 200-300 word long question in less then 1 minute is by practicing LOADS of questions until you're able to predict answers.
I talk about this on my book: How to Utterly Defeat the USMLE. I also mention techniques and methods to defeat every single Step of the USMLE. It's NOT a review book, it's a book about methods, about pumping you up to get you ready to defeat the BEAST: The USMLE.
Get up and study. There are no short-cuts. Only you and the UMSLE. There is only one way and it's by sitting down and studying review material efficiently and inteligently. It's all about the Strategy.
Only one of you will be called the victor. The USMLE is prepared to defeat you in every way and knows your every weakness. Be prepared.

The Equity and Efficiency of Two-Part Tariffs in U.S. Natural Gas Markets
Residential natural gas customers in the United States face volumetric charges that average about 30 percent more than the marginal cost of gas. This inefficient departure from marginal cost pricing allows gas utilities to cover their fixed infrastructure and operating costs. Proposals for recovering these costs instead through fixed monthly fees are often opposed because of a widespread belief that current rate schedules have desirable distributional consequences. Using nationally representative household-level data, we show that the correlation between household income and natural gas consumption is indeed positive but surprisingly weak, so current rate schedules are only mildly progressive. In part, we argue that this is because poor households tend to have larger families and less energy-efficient homes. We calculate bill impacts under a variety of scenarios and show that even a modest energy assistance program would more than offset the distributional impact of tariff rebalancing for most low-income households.

There are so many amazing places to find inspiration now a days - blogs, pinterest, instagram but sometimes it can all be a bit overwhelming to pull it all together and make something happen. I am one of those people who gathers every image you could possibly imagine and then slowly eliminates them, and I am a HUGE fan of lists. I don't know if there is just too many ideas in my head, but the more I get down & quick the better. Carly and I have pulled some of our favorite apps that help gather quick and easy inspiration for parties as well as apps that help you get organized and make your life easier through the whole process. Some of these are our personal favorites, while others we haven't used as much, but they are on one my many lists to include for any upcoming events!
- Doodle is a great resource for making any sort of plans. When you send out a Doodle, there is a simple survey often with dates and/or places that you can select from getting a quick response from people without a hundred emails going back and forth. It is also a great way to not really call anyone out and still get the best date that works for everyone. We use it regularly for our quarterly dinners!
- These cards are so beautiful and graphic and they are all digital with the option of printed invites as well. The only hold up I have with Paperless Post is they have a "coin" system that I think seems a bit complicated and not necessary when there are so many options are available for free digital cards.
- I typically a girl all about making lists on paper and crossing off with vengeance, but Wunderlist is amazing for making all sorts of lists and keeping you organized. The app is also connected to your phone, computer and ipad so no matter where you are you can jot a quick thought down, unlike myself with having 50 different sticky notes in various places!
- Evite has been popular for years, and is a great option for free digital cards. I don't think the designs are as beautiful as Paperless Post, but there are so many more options for free and it is super easy to work on. Having the app is great when you are planning any type of party so you can see who all is attending no matter where you are!
- New York Times Cooking App is one of Carly's favorites. Not only is it free, but is an amazing resource for food, cocktails and anything else you could imagine creating and of course it has some gorgeous imagery! This is one of her go to's and may be come mine in the very near future.
- You can't have an entire grouping of apps for entertaining without an app for cocktails. Liquor Cabinet is a great way to come up with ideas of making cocktails with ingredients you already have in your "liquor cabinet or bar cart." Sometimes it can be so frustrating to find a recipe and more likely than not you have 3 of the 4 ingredients. Liquor Cabinet takes an inventory of what you have on hand and then lists recipes that work with what you have! Super clever for sure. Unfortunately, this app does cost a whopping .99 cents.
- Capsule Cam is perfect for planning a wedding, a work event or any party where you will be renting a space and will have loads of pics. This app keeps all your pics together in an album for an event that will then be shared with a group of people. This works for when you are snapping shots of a space and need to reference it in the future. It keeps things organized and allows everyone to be on the same page. And the best part, when the party is happening and all over, you still have all the photos from beginning to end all in one place.
- There is no party without food,which can be a big undertaking in itself. Personally I don't hate grocery shopping, in fact Saturday and Sundays are amazing with so many free samples, but that doesn't mean I want to spend 4 hours in one before a party. OurGroceries is a great way to create a grocery list including all the ingredients within each of your recipes. Just one more app to keep things simple!
- And if you want to go the extra mile and get creative on your invites, photography or menu check out Skillshare. This is the perfect app with lots of tutorials and quick sessions on how to do calligraphy or simply just taking better photos! It makes the whole process a little more fun & less stressful!
Do you have any apps that help you get organized and ready for a party or even a small get together? These will be put to use very soon for on Oscar Party as well as finding a new recipe for our Friday cocktails!
Happy Planning!
