With few exceptions, the Wildcats have been less than powerful down through the years and have lost more games than they have won. In the SEC the UK record is much worse.
Shortly after World War II, two businessmen in the transport business, one from Louisville and one from Lexington, raised enough money to entice the head coach at the University of Maryland to Lexington.
Yes. Paul Bryant. The Bear himself.
No one in Kentucky had ever seen the likes. Bryant took the Wildcats to Millersburg Military Institute to find out who wanted to play some football. MMI was about 15 miles from Lexington, in Bourbon County.
It was said that the population of Millersburg would go up about 50 in the morning and much less in the afternoon.
The highway was full of discarded players hitching rides back home.
You have heard of one of them, Don Zimmer, who later became a Major League Baseball star and manager. Later on, the Bear took his team to a secluded horse farm where he found out who REALLY wanted to play football. (Much later, Bryant did the same thing that spawned the book, the Junction City Boys. That told the story of Bryant's brutal methods when he started his tenure as coach of Texas A&M.)
Bryant went on to coaching greatness when "Mammy called†him back to Alabama, his alma mater.
UK, meanwhile, has had but a few highlights down through the years under Blanton Collier, Fran Curci and Jerry Claiborne, but nothing that was lasting.
Now another coach has been sacked. The present director of athletics will decide on Joker Phillips' successor.
What needs to be done?
See the third paragraph above.
It takes money, money, money – and lots of it.
The Lexington Herald-Leader recently published a long story on Hazard coal billionaire Joe Craft, who has been extraordinarily kind to UK basketball and football. To rescue football out of its morass, Craft and friends could raise the money for the Wildcats to be competitive in the SEC.
The question is this: Will the tooth doctor who is now UK's president allow the job to be done? I don't have faith in the present director of athletics to hire the man to get the job done.
Some arm-twisting will have to be done.
Cats Could've Been Strong
It would have been oh so simple for Kentucky football to be where Louisville's program is under Charlie Strong – undefeated and ninth in the nation
Seth Hancock, master of the famed Claiborne Farm (which was home of the great Secretariat) bleeds Wildcat blue. He had become a close friend – and booster – of a member of the University of Florida football coaching staff. As a staunch supporter of Wildcat athletics, Seth tried to convince top UK administrators what Strong could do for the Big Blue football program. When Rich Brooks retired, Seth strongly recommended Strong as his replacement.
Now Louisville football is unbeaten and No. 9 in the BCS standings.
Where's Kentucky? Don't ask. Seriously, if you don't know, you don't want to.
There were so few fans in Commonwealth Stadium for the Vanderbilt shellacking that it was embarrassing. And the UK administrator of athletics allowed one of his underlings to outright lie about the attendance.
I can't tell you how many UK fans told me that I was crazy to support Joker Phillips as Brooks' replacement. I did it because he had been a good recruiter, especially in the rich Louisville area, but Strong took command of the UofL program and made sure that the city dried up for recruits except for the Cardinals. Mixed with top Sunshine State recruits, the Cardinals are zooming under the guidance of Strong, his assistants and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. The latter is so exciting that he may be the crowd favorite of all time. He runs, he throws. He and receiver DeVante Parker, a Ballard product, are the most exciting duo in UofL history. Okay, if not now, they will be.
Meanwhile how low can UK go? They have now lost to Vanderbilt, one of the "academic schools,†as UofL basketball guard Milt Wagner once described a Cardinal opponent.
Petrino Could Switch SidesÂ
If the University of Kentucky is serious about its football program ever getting to the place it could surpass the University of Louisville, it will have to swallow its Big Blue pride and hire Bobby Petrino as its head football coach.
I have known very few choir boys in the coaching fraternity. But if UK wants to win, it has no choice except to try to hire Petrino, the married Arkansas coach who had a motorcycle wreck with his girlfriend-secretary on the back of the bike.
UK hired John Calipari, who didn't come with a squeaky-clean reputation from the University of Memphis. Cal has done a pretty good job, wouldn't you say?
UK administrators weren't all in agreement that they should take a chance with Cal, but he has done quite well, wouldn't you agree?
Petrino can coach. He can recruit. He will put fannies in seats. What else is needed?
Okay, he has about as much personality as a rotten cabbage, but he can win. And that's the name of the game, isn't it?
The Best of the BestÂ
The best University of Kentucky president for athletics was Dr. Otis Singletary. He knew the score. No one ever put anything over on him.
Some faculty members thought he was too much of a jock, but that didn't stick because he was national president of Phi Beta Kappa Society, the brainy organization for college administrators.

Plasma resonance in some III-V alloys.
|Plasma resonance in some III-V alloys.
|Heravi, Hassan Momen.
|Measurements of reflectivity and Hall effect have been made on polycrystalline n-type samples of GaAs and alloys of the systems GaAs xSb1-x and Ga1-xAlxAs to find values of electron effective mass at the bottom of the conduction band m*00/m . The experimental data were obtained with a Baird monochromator which was modified to give double beam operation and extended wavelength range up to 30 mum, so that measurements of the free carrier reflectivity could be made on samples with low carrier concentration. The reflection coefficient R and hence the index of refraction eta were obtained from the experimental measurements. The variation of eta2 was plotted as a function of the square of the wavelength. For each sample, the graphical result (eta 2 vs lambda2) was found to be a straight line and it was extrapolated to zero wavelength to obtain the optical dielectric constant epsilon infinity. The slope of the line also was determined and used to obtain the value of effective mass at the bottom of the conduction band. For the systems GaAsxSb1-x the alloy compositions were determined by the X-ray powder photograph method. For the two alloy systems GaAsxSb1-x and Ga 1-xAlxAs, optical dielectric constant and effective mass values were measured from infrared reflectivity for the first time. The values of the effective masses were determined by the simultaneous solution of the integrals giving the statistical carrier concentration and the slope of the free carrier reflectivity under the condition of the general degeneracy, the lattice contribution to the slope being taken into account. Theoretical values of the effective masses in the (000) conduction band as a function of alloy composition were calculated for the alloy system GaAs xSb1-x using the disorder equation (73W) and Kane equation (57K) for the effective masses. The experimental results were found to be in better agreement with the disorder equation of the effective mass than with the Kane equation. Finally, to complete the outline of the project, it should be mentioned that the values of optical Fermi energy, dielectric constant, optical relaxation time, optical mobility and optical conductivity were calculated for 12 samples of the alloys GaAsxSb1-x and Ga1-xAl xAs.

The Griffin Poetry Prize, to be awarded on Thursday in Toronto, is one of the world's richest awards for writing, granting $75,000 each to an international poet and a Canadian one. This year's short lists feature major names, including Canadians Anne Carson and Anne Michaels. On the international short list is Carl Phillips, the brilliant American poet whose body of work is as sombre, elegant and beautiful as that of any writer alive today. Ahead of the prize, and its perennially popular public readings, to be held on Wednesday at Toronto's Koerner Hall, The Globe caught up with Phillips to ask about his art, his taste and his opinion of the prize, for which he has also served as a judge.
You've been nominated for this prize for Silverchest, your 12th book. How have your interests as a writer changed over the course of your career? What fascinated you as a younger writer that no longer holds your attention? And what new inquiries do you want to make that your younger self would never have anticipated?
I was a lot more interested in certain identity markers in my first couple of books – race, sexuality, the latter especially, as I was feeling my way toward understanding it for myself. As I've gotten older, I've come to see these as only two of many ways of understanding the self, and perhaps not the most important ones. Perhaps predictably, the fact of aging has come more to the fore, aging and its relationship to restlessness, when restlessness seems to have no intention of going away.
What subject is, for you, the most difficult to write about?
The most difficult subject for me to write about is the only one I really do write about, the tension between how we behave and how we are expected to behave, and how that tension spills into and seems largely to define all of our most meaningful relationships.
What are the moral obligations of a poet? Are they different than they might have been in another era?
For me, the only moral obligation is to work as honestly as possible with one's material, for lack of a better word – to be absolutely committed to the truth as one sees it, including a commitment to the likelihood that the truth, like morality, is more flexible than we'd sometimes like to think. The best poets of any era have adhered to this, from what I can tell.
What qualities do you admire most in the work of your peers?
When I turn to the work of peers, I turn to those for whom language is not to be taken for granted – those writers who make me think about language anew, even as their sensibility makes me re-examine my earlier assumptions about a given subject. I like leaving a poem with a feeling of having been shaken, transformed. I wouldn't say this is common, but that's why it's so unmistakable when it actually happens.
What are the biggest challenges facing contemporary poetry (beyond the question of limited readership)?
Maybe the biggest challenge is the increasing lack of patience.… Many poets seem unwilling to stay with a subject long enough to truly say something meaningful about it – it's easier, I suppose, to lean toward superficiality; and I think it's a human tendency to prefer the superficial, it's easier to understand, and it usually hurts less. But I've always thought what makes a poet is his or her inability to be at ease with the surface, an innate inability to resist pushing further, seeing further even than maybe he or she often would choose.
One of the criticisms of the Griffin Prize in recent years has been what's seen as a certain coziness: judges becoming nominees, nominees being connected to trustees, etc. You yourself, obviously, have served as judge, and are now nominated for the prize. Are such overlaps inevitable within the relatively small world of poetry? Or do they concern you?
I do believe these overlaps are inevitable. It's hard, for example, to be named to a panel of judges and not know some of them, because it is precisely because of their prominence that they have been asked to judge something. Actors tend to know each other, as do sports figures – I think that comes with any field. The only thing worth being concerned about is if there is clearly nepotism, insider dealings, etc. Familiarity with others in one's profession doesn't have to mean a compromise of integrity.
What struck or surprised you about Canadian poetry when you judged the competition?
I've long known that Canadian poetry is wide-ranging, both in form and in subject matter, so I don't know that there were any surprises – Canadian poetry and poetry in the United States seems to have in common that they spring from especially varied populations, all kinds of races, all manner of backgrounds.
The nominees read selections from their work at the 2014 Griffin Poetry Prize Shortlist Readings, 7:30 p.m. on June 4 at Koerner Hall in Toronto (griffinpoetryprize.com).
This interview has been condensed and edited.

RICHMOND, Va. — Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe has vetoed a bill that would have granted people who receive red-light tickets the right to contest citations in circuit court.
McAuliffe vetoed the bill Monday.
The legislation won near-unanimous approval from both chambers. But the governor said that provision could inundate the judicial system with cases of limited financial impact.
McAuliffe also vetoed a bill Monday that would have made small adjustments to state Senate districts, saying the bill may be unconstitutional.

text: I was curious where posts like this should go, ie: oven ribs, fried chicken, crockpot stuff, etc. Is this potentially a candidate for new sub-forum? I know there's already a ton, but something like "Nose To Tail" for an example seems like overkill, when you could just use the beef, chicken, pork, etc forums.

New York
by Russell, Andrew J.
New York: O. C. Smith. Very Good. Photograph. A rare stereoview from Andrew J. Russell's Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroad photographs. Light soil and edge wear. The verso is printed with a catalog of views from "The Rocky Mountain Series" published by O. C. Smith. The photographer is not listed. Handwritten on blank lines intended for labeling are No. 326, Echo City from Witches Rock, with the number corresponding to the C. P. R. R. Catalog of Russell's work. Russell had a more well-known photograph of Witches Rock, but this view is a closer view of the conglomerate rock, with Echo City mostly behind the rock in the distance. An original negative glass plate from the Oakland Museum of California collection has this same image but a wider field, dated 1869.; 3 1/2" x 7" . (Inventory #: 012022)

|Oracle® Communications Order and Service Management Task Web Client User's Guide
Release 7.2.2
|PDF · Mobi · ePub
This document describes how to customize the Oracle Communications Order and Service Management (OSM) Task Web client.
See "Setting Query Preferences" to customize queries.
Use the Preferences page to define the way information is displayed on your screen. You can find the Preferences page in the Worklist, Notifications, and Query pages.
Figure 5-1 shows the Worklist Preferences page.
Note:See "Viewing Orders" for more information on creating and saving preferences.
When OSM first displays the Worklist page, it sorts the orders by task state.
You can change the way in which these columns are sorted by specifying a primary and secondary sort criteria. You do this from the Worklist Preferences, Notifications Preferences, and Query Preferences pages.
To sort orders:
From either the Worklist, Notifications, or Query page, open the Preferences page. (See Figure 5-1 for an illustration of the Preferences page from the worklist.)
Select a primary sort order. From the 1st Sort Order menu, select a column name to be the primary sort order, then select Ascending or Descending.
Select a secondary sort order. From the 2nd Sort Order menu, select a column name to be the secondary sort order, then select Ascending or Descending.
Note:If you do not want to specify a secondary sort order, select None in the 2nd Sort Order menu, as described below.
Click Update.
You can revert the sorted information to the default order by selecting Default from the Sort Order menu.
To temporarily sort on a column:
Click the link at the top of the column on which you want to sort.
You can sort on every column. When you click to sort the first time, the Worklist is sorted in ascending order of the values in that column. When you click on the same column link again, it is sorted in descending order.
You can change the background and text colors used to represent the different states of orders in the Worklist, Query, and Change Task/Status pages.
To change the color of the order state:
Click Options.
On the Options window, select a text and background color from the Text and Background menus for a particular order/task state.
Repeat step 2 for each order state.
Click Update.
Using the Preferences option, you can select the columns you want to display in the Worklist, Query, and Notifications pages and the order in which you want them to appear. If you remove all columns from the Displayed Columns list, the default columns still appear in the Worklist.
To display, hide, or reorder columns:
In the Worklist page, click Preferences.
Do any of the following:
To display a column, in the Worklist Preferences page, select a column from the Available Columns list and click the right arrow button to move it into the Displayed Columns list.
To hide a column, select a column from the Displayed Columns list and click the left arrow button to move it into the Available Columns list.
To change the order of columns, select a column name from the Displayed Columns list and use the up and down arrow buttons to place it in the position.
Click Save As to name the preference and save it to the database.
See "Setting Worklist Preferences" for more information on setting worklist preferences.
You can specify a fixed or variable table height, depending on the value of the is_tablelayout_height_fixed parameter in oms-config.xml. You can set the value of is_tablelayout_height_fixed to True or to False.
The default value of is_tablelayout_height_fixed is True, causing all tables to use the value of the height_of_tablelayout parameter, also found in oms-config.xml. The default setting of height_of_tablelayout is 400 pixels.
Using a fixed table height can create excessive white space in and between tables. Setting is_tablelayout_height_fixed to False causes table height to be solely determined by the number of rows in the table and can help eliminate white space.
To set the table height:
Open OSM_Home/SDK/Customization/osm-ejb/security/META-INF/oms-config.xml, where OSM_Home is the directory in which OSM is installed.
Note:You may need to unpack oms-config.xml to be able to edit it. For instructions on how to unpack oms-config.xml, see OSM System Administrator's Guide.
Search for the following parameter:
Do one of the following:
To set the table height to fixed, set is_tablelayout_height_fixed to True.
You may desire a fixed height different from the default. If so, change the fixed height of all tables.
To change the fixed height of all tables:
Search for the following parameter:
Set height_of_tablelayout to the desired numerical value.
The default is 400 pixels.
To set the table height to variable, set is_tablelayout_height_fixed to False.
Table height will now vary for each table, depending on the number of rows in the table.
Save and close the file.
Note:After saving and closing oms-config.xml, you may have to redeploy it. See OSM System Administrator's Guide to determine if you need to redeploy oms-config.xml and instructions for redeploying it.
When you log into the Task Web client for the first time, OSM displays orders in the Worklist based on your last saved preference or, if no preference exists, the system default.
You can customize the Worklist to display the information you want to see by defining and saving your own preferences.
The Worklist Preferences page lets you define, edit, save, and delete Worklist preferences. To access this page, click the Edit Preference link on the Worklist page.
The Worklist preferences page has the following areas:
Table 5-1 describes the Worklist Columns area.

The Order Details area has the Field list that you use to display orders associated with a specific column name and, in some cases, other specific conditions and values. For example, if you select Process Status from the Field list, you must select a status such as True, False, Next, Back, and so on, from the Condition Value list. By default, no fields are selected (Clear).
Table 5-4 describes the field filtering options available in the Order Details area.
|Filtering Option
The list that contains the default and user-defined columns.
The Condition option is only available for certain columns in the field list.
You have the option of searching for orders equal to a value or between two values:
Lower Value
The lower value of the condition for the selected field.
Upper Value
The upper value of the condition for the selected field.
For text fields and Order ID and Reference # column headers, you can use wildcard symbols for the = condition field to represent any number of unknown characters. Use * to search for any character or group of characters, and ? to search for any single character.
When you filter on a phone field, you must use numeric characters only.
Note:If you have a large number of tasks in your worklist, and if you want to show orders associated with most of the tasks, instead of making multiple clicks, select the first task displayed in the list, then scroll to the bottom, press and hold the Shift key, and then click the last task in the list. This highlights all of the tasks. Next, press and hold the Ctrl key, and then click the tasks you want to remove from the list. This deselects the unwanted tasks.
The first time you access the Worklist, you are presented with either your last saved preference (from a previous release), or the system default.
To define a worklist preference:
Log in to the Task Web client and navigate to the Worklist page (it may appear automatically after login).
If your last saved preference is available, it is displayed in the menu as MyWorklist; otherwise, the menu does not appear.
On the Worklist page, click Edit Preference.
The Worklist Preferences page is displayed. If you are working with MyWorklist, the settings for that preference are loaded. If no preference is available, the system default, named untitled is loaded.
Modify your settings as desired and click Save As.
A dialog box is displayed prompting for the preference name.
In the text box, type a name (up to 50 characters) and click OK.
The named preference is now the current Worklist Preference and is displayed in the menu as the selected item.
Click Worklist to return to the Worklist page.
If the newly created preference is your only preference, it is displayed as the selected item in the menu. In this case, click Refresh to apply it to the Worklist. If you have more than one preference saved, however, you may need to select the newly created preference from the list to apply it.
You can select a Worklist preference from either the Worklist or the Worklist Preferences page.
Worklist: When you select a preference from the menu on the Worklist page, it is applied immediately to the Worklist.
Worklist Preferences: When you select a preference from the menu on the Worklist Preferences page, the settings for that preference are loaded. The preference that you select on this page is not automatically applied when you return to the Worklist.
Note:The current worklist preference is the last preference you applied to the Worklist, which may or may not be the preference you are working with on the Worklist Preferences page. Remember to always select the preference you want to apply to the Worklist from the Worklist page.
You can edit a worklist preference by selecting it from the Worklist and clicking the Edit Preference link, or you can select and edit it directly from the Worklist Preferences page. Use the following procedure when selecting a preference from the Worklist.
To edit a worklist preference:
On the Worklist page, select the preference from the menu and click Edit Preference.
The Worklist Preferences page displays the settings for the selected preference.
Change the settings as desired and then do one of the following:
Click Save to save your changes to an existing preference
Click Save As to save your changes to a new preference
If you chose Save As, a dialog box is displayed prompting for the preference name. Type the preference name and click OK.
The newly created or saved preference name is displayed as the selected item in the menu.
Click Worklist to return to the Worklist page.
If the preference you edited is already selected, click Refresh to apply your most recent changes; otherwise, select the preference you want to apply to the Worklist.
You can delete worklist preferences that are redundant or have become obsolete.
To delete a worklist preference:
On the Worklist Preferences page, select the preference from the menu and click Delete.
A dialog box is displayed asking if you want to delete the current preference.
Click OK.
The preference name is removed from the list.
Click Worklist to return to worklist.
Note:If all named preferences are deleted, the system reverts to the default preference.
When you click the New button on the Worklist Preferences page, the system creates a new untitled preference which contains the default settings. This provides an alternate way to create preferences, which are based on the default rather than on modifying existing preferences.
To create a new worklist preference:
On the Worklist Preferences page, click New.
The preference named untitled is displayed in the menu and the default preference settings are loaded.
Modify any settings as desired and click Save As.
A dialog box is displayed prompting for the preference name.
In the text box, enter a name, up to 50 characters, and click OK.
The named preference is displayed in the menu as the selected item.
Click Worklist to return to the Worklist page.
Select the newly created preference from the menu to apply it to the worklist.
The Options page lets you customize the user-specific settings. You can configure settings such as your email address, time zone, appearance of the login screen, and the color of the order and task. See "Customizing the Task Web Client" for more information.

But those east coast families still played an important role in government and were more accessible to Government than their western highland counterparts. The family name became associated with the de Lundins. Whether the name was an office to which Alan Durward, son of de Lundin, succeeded in 1204, or whether it was a Norman noble, Reiner Dureward from Norfolk who moved north at this time conjectural. However, Alan married an natural born daughter of King Alexander of Scotland and eventually became Regent and justicair of Scotland. He was immortalized by Walter Scott. On his death his lands were divided between three daughters. Later several lines descended in Scotland but the name continued to flourish to the south in Essex where Geofry Durward was recorded in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1273.
Dorweard Spelling Variations

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Numerous Scottish settlers settled along the east coast of the colonies that would become the United States and Canada. Others traveled to the open country of the west. At the time of the American War of Independence, some remained in the United States, while those who remained loyal to the crown went north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. The highland games and Clan societies that sprang up across North America in the 20th century have helped many Scots to recover parts of their lost traditions. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first Dorweards to arrive in North America: Tho Dorwood, who came to Virginia in 1657.

MetroCast Foundation Golf Tournament raises $23,000
- Published in Community Announcements
BELMONT — The annual MetroCast Foundation Golf Tournament held at Lochmere Country Club on September 16 raised more than $23,000 in support of youth-serving organizations in the region. With a score of 57, John Daigneault, Jerry Driscoll, Ace Parmaley & Bob Schwartz took this year's top prize.
The annual event, now in its 15th year, began as an effort to honor the memory of Robbie Mills, a 14 year-old Laconia boy who was killed in 1997 for his trail bike by two older teens (Mills' mother is a MetroCast employee). The MetroCast event was launched a year later to support the Robbie Mills Memorial Fund, which remains a primary beneficiary of the Tournament.
As the tournament subsequently grew in popularity, the number of organizations supported by the fundraiser also expanded to include the Boys & Girls Club of the Lakes Region, Greater Lakes Advocacy Center (Belknap-Merrimack Community Action Program), Spaulding Youth Center Foundation, WLNH Children's Auction, and more.
In response to the growing need, Jim Bruder, Chairman and CEO of Harron Communications, MetroCast's parent company, founded the MetroCast Foundation in 2007 to facilitate donations for the Tournament from video programmers and vendor partners. In addition to 2013's key sponsors Meredith Village Savings Bank and IDT/net2phone, more than 40 corporate organizations contributed to this year's event.
"We are grateful for our sponsors and contributors, as well as all those who came out on a beautiful day for golf, food and fun," said MetroCast Regional Manager, Moira Campbell. "This valued support enabled MetroCast to continue to honor the memory of the beloved Robbie Mills and to serve worthy organizations that better our young people and the great community we call home."

Filed under: Israel
I saw Avatar in 3d with my family over winter break. Loved the imagery and other-world concept – very cool. However, the not-so-subliminal stereotypical, moral message was a tad annoying. "Overkill" and "ridiculous" are the words that come to mind. The bad guys are really bad, and don't blink an eye when it comes to plowing over the indigenous peoples (or, "Na'vi) for oil… I mean, natural resources. Pretty original, right?
Bil'in, a Palestinian village, decided to reenact Avatar on Friday in attempt to symbolize their "united resistance to imperialism of all kinds." The outcome, like the movie, is predictable. The Bil'in demonstrators march up to the security wall, accompanied by cameramen (ready for the show?!) already wearing gas masks, and proceed to capitalize on the drama that is created. What ensues is choppy footage of Israelis throwing teargas at the innocent "Na'vi"-Palestinians.
Like I asked James Cameron after watching Avatar: "Really?"

Mad Catz has offered a new gaming accessories for gamers. They call it the "S.T.R.I.K.E 7" keyboard that comes with an interesting features and customization for gamers.
As you can see from the image above, Mad Catz still using their iconic design found on their Cyborg R.A.T. gaming mouse. The palm rest is a 3-part active palm rest and two wrist rests with adjustable height. It also have a thumb wheel and action button to play with.
Going to the top side, there is a dedicated LCD panel called V.E.N.O.M. TFT-LCD Touchscreen Control Module where it allows you to do macros or any programmable functions. Here is a short summary of what Mad Catz S.T.R.I.K.E. 7 has to offer:
- The main keyboard that provides plenty of room for wide, sweeping movements of your mouse, replacement and interchangeable WASD and cursor keys, and full RGB backlighting with 16 million color variants.
- Control Module with V.E.N.O.M. TFT-LCD Touchscreen with adjustable backlighting, the ability to program advanced macros, and complete control over functions like game and chat volumes, launching apps and websites, and initiating/control TeamSpeak.
- Function Strip adds four programmable macro buttons, boosting the overall number to 24 macro buttons that can be used to create 72 user-defined commands with the assistance of three available modes.
- NumPad designed for either loose or fix-mounted positioning, with longer wires allowing for a wider range of positioning.
- 3-Part Active Palm Rest and Two Wrist Rests that are height adjustable, with both a thumb wheel and action button built-in.

Mad Catz S.T.R.I.K.E 7 gaming keyboard is available for pre-order at GameShark Store or Amazon for $299.99.

The Mavericks have won five of six after a six-game losing streak.
Joe Johnson paced Atlanta with 27 points, and Josh Smith added 17 points before fouling out with 5:41 left.
The Hawks had won 13 of their previous 17, including Friday night's 111-102 home victory over the Knicks.
For three quarters, the Mavericks couldn't prevent Johnson from getting inside. Johnson scored 18 of his first 20 points in the paint, and the Hawks led 78-77 to start the fourth quarter.
But Dallas opened the final quarter with a 14-1 run capped by Terry's 17-footer with 8:07 left for a 91-79 lead.
The Mavericks stepped up defensively down the stretch as the Hawks missed seven of their first eight field goal attempts in the final quarter.
Atlanta was without starting forward Marvin Williams, who began serving a two-game suspension handed down by the NBA earlier Saturday for throwing punches in Friday night's game.
Marvin Williams started the altercation when he shoved New York's Shawne Williams in the back as they ran up the court with 43 seconds left in the the game.
Marvin Williams will also miss the Hawks' home game against Toronto on Wednesday.

► Timberwolves 103, Raptors 87: At Minneapolis, Kevin Love had his NBA-leading 42nd double-double of the season with 21 points and 12 rebounds, and Minnesota beat Toronto to send the Raptors to their 11th straight loss.
The Timberwolves, last in the NBA in defense, held Toronto to 33.7 percent shooting - the lowest this season for both sides. This is the fifth-longest losing streak in franchise history for the Raptors.

The second act of the Hornblower saga is a gripping, rip-roaring tale of turmoil and triumph on the high seas. With new responsibilities thrust upon him, a young Lieutenant Hornblower is now fully in command of a ship for the first time. Faced with the challenges of near-mutiny, bloody hand-to-hand combat, deck-splintering sea battles, and the violence and horrors of life aboard the fighting ships in Napoleonic Wars, Hornblower must find a way to endure and overcome, as only a hero of his stature can.
Cover Painting and Design ©1989 Wendell Minor; Copyright ©1951, 1952 by C.S. Forester; Copyright Renewed, 1979, 1980 by Dorothy E. Forester; Copyright (P)1999 NewStar Media Inc.
"This is quite a story, one of the best in the apparently limitless Hornblower series, and a pleasure...from beginning to end." (The New York Times)
"I recommend Forester to every literate I know." (Ernest Hemingway)
"Lieutenant Hornblower"
I was first introduced to Hornblower books while in grade school, I am now 51 years old and listing to this most excelent adaptation has made me wish to read the whole series again. The narration is excellent and it is a grand story. I would recomend this book to anyone who loves adventure books sea stories.
"An Excellent Series"
The Hornblower series were introduced to me by my dad. Since then I have read every book in the series. Once I was able to lay my hands on one of the books in the series in my high school and spent every library minute reading the book (they did not allow us to check out books of our choice at this school) till I was finished. I now own several in the series and have over the years picked up the nicer editions from good second hand book stores. I have yet to listen to them on tape or on audible. Now that I have discovered them on Audible i plan to get them for my dad who has now unfortunately gone blind (if i can only find a way to have him use this technology).
If you havent read them yet, i strongly recommend that you give them a try. But, they will grow on you and start and make it hard to stop! The wonderful writing and the descriptions of naval battles and life at the sea in the days of yore make this a most unforgettable series.
"Great novel awful sound quality"
I decided I really wanted to introduce myself to the Hornblower series, so I checked out which novel would be best to start with, then searched for it here on audible. Very pleased to find it. Low price. Excellent... Or so I thought. I don't understand why audible would compromise it's standards by selling an audition with such extremely poor sound quality. It sounds like it's being read in a toilet cubicle of a train station.
The narration is also quite poor. The narrator has a lovely voice, but his grasp of character are so cheesy, I think they have given me high cholesterol. The book is horribly overacted, making it difficult to engage with the characters. The female dialogue, in particular, is cringe-worthy. I now see that audible carries another version of the novell. I really don't understand why only this version appeared when I searched.
Despite these problems, I enjoyed the story and loved the main character. Will continue with the series if I can find another version.
Poor form, audible! This is one customer who is far from trundles.
Alll the books. about British naval hereoes ,real and fictionali draw from Forester .......
And that fills in details ,and awareness about what the British control of the sea. Without this one misses the truth that Napoleon
was the character and the reality of what was the "real" first world war.
"Fight On"
#2 in the Hornblower saga. This one is told from the viewpoint of Bush, a senior LT, and Horatio's best buddy. It's action on the high seas in the 1790s for King and country. Good, fun, action. The reading seems a bit overacted and in particular, the female characters don't really have any depth. Bush seems pretty unimaginative and not worthy of future promotion. In the action against the "Dons", we see Hornblower at his best. I shall press on next month to #3
"Slow start but then wonderful writing & adventure"
This is an excellent entry in the Hornblower nautical series set during the Napoleonic Wars. Hornblower has been promoted to Lieutenant and is serving under a sadistic captain. It's a grim start that goes on too long, but then the story line shifts to sea and land action in the Caribbean, and the action and writing are first rate. Lts. Hornblower and Bush become friends, and there are other interesting character developments, too. A very strong book in the Forester - Hornblower series, and no can beat Patrick Macnee for his expert narration.
"Embarrassing Sound Quality"
I'll be honest I quit listening to this book after about 10 minutes. Not because of the store but because of the unbelievably bad sound quality. I was so looking forward to this story but can't bring myself to struggle through this narration. I hope that someone re-records this story very soon.
"Disappointing narration"
Great story, but I felt that the characters were only partially developed and I blame that on the narrator, Patrick Macnee. After listening to the entire Aubrey-Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian as read by Simon Vance, I guess I became spoiled. Vance was wonderful. Macnee doesn't seem to connect to the characters. He is more interested, in my opinion, in hearing his own voice than in conveying a realistic conversation. I would like to listen to more of the Hornblower series, but only if I can find someone other than Macnee as a narrator.

A hit (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) and a hit (The Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder) that misses.by BRIAN KELLOW
got the idea for his off-Broadway hit Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, an adaptation of Tolstoy's War and Peace, in the most incongruous setting imaginable — while he was playing piano on a cruise ship passing through the Caribbean. "I had a girlfriend back on land," Malloy remembers, "and one of the things we decided we were going to do was to read an epic novel together, and give updates on what page we were each on. It was a very odd social environment for reading it. But I felt like an outsider, when it came to the social circles on the ship, and I felt I related to Tolstoy's Pierre as I was reading!"
Having made his way through most of Dostoyevsky, as well as Anna Karenina, Malloy already had developed a deep fondness for Russian literature. When he reached the section of War and Peace on which The Great Comet is based, the idea for a pop opera sprang into his head fairly quickly. "That particular section of the book is very tightly, compactly plotted," he says. "I read that part in one sitting and had the idea pretty immediately after reading it." The Ars Nova Theater then gave him an open-ended commission. "I told them that I had this War and Peace idea, and I expected them to shoot it down, but they were super supportive."
The Great Comet opened in fall 2012 for a five-week run in the ninety-nine-seat Ars Nova, received glorious reviews, was extended to a sixth week and sold out the entire run. It then transferred downtown, to the Klub Kazino, a temporary space constructed inside a tent in Manhattan's meatpacking district. After a smash summertime run there, The Great Comet packed its tent again, moving to a vacant lot in the heart of the theater district on West Forty-fifth Street, where again, it sold out until completing its run this winter. Now the original cast recording is available on GHOSTLIGHT RECORDS.
Listening to the CD brings back all the joyous and kinetic magic of the stage show. The melancholy strains of traditional Russian music are fused with a thrilling variety of rock styles. Malloy gets everything off to a ripping start with his Prologue, which kids readers who have had to backpedal their way through the novel's confusing opening pages:
Perhaps my favorite number is the Act I ballad for Natasha (PHILLIPA SOO), "No One Else," which seems destined to be a classic. Occasionally, the lyrics give off a slight whiff of Les Miz banality, but more often they take you by surprise with their off-center wit. I laughed out loud when the demented Bolkonsky (BLAKE DELONG) sang, "I forget things / And I live in the past / I've aged so very much / People enjoy me though." I laughed again when the chorus sang, "In nineteenth-century Russia we write letters / We write letters / We put down in writing / What is happening in our minds."
For his next project, Malloy has plans to musicalize yet another weighty and challenging novel — Moby-Dick.
whose taste I respect have told me such good things about The Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder that at the January 8 performance I attended at Broadway's Walter Kerr Theatre, I began to wonder why I wasn't enjoying myself more. The musical, with book by ROBERT L. FREEDMAN, music by STEVEN LUTVAK, and lyrics by Freedman and Lutvak, has finally reached New York after an unusually difficult birthing process that spanned several years. Adapted from Roy Horniman's novel Israel Rank: The Autobiography of a Criminal — which was the basis for the classic 1949 English film comedy Kind Hearts and Coronets — it tells the story of Monty Navarro (BRYCE PINKHAM), a distant heir to the fortune of the aristocratic D'Ysquith family, who methodically proceeds to eliminate everyone who stands in his way to the money.
Kind Hearts and Coronets, of course, is well known to lovers of Ealing comedy. The picture was a boon to audiences, since English movie screens didn't offer that many good laughs during World War II. The mood of the country was not geared toward comedy, though many of the dramas had elements of humor in them. A wartime film such as Brief Encounter or Vacation from Marriage might try to have some fun with the English way of life, but the tone was affectionate. The affection was still there in the Ealing films, but now the tone was satirical and often mildly perverse; with the war over, it was O.K. to take some shots at British life — such as Englishmen's fondness for jumping into women's clothing at the flick of a wrist.
There's wit and imagination and a sense of play running all through The Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder. The show has an agreeable English music-hall feel to it. But ideally, a musical adaptation of a famous property should bring something distinctive to the transformation process, as The Light in the Piazza and Grey Gardens both did. Gentleman's Guide doesn't replace the Ealing spirit, or build on it, with anything very fresh of its own. The star performances are excellent: the brilliant JEFFERSON MAYS takes on the gallery of wacky heirs with terrific verve, and Pinkham gives a funny, fascinating glimpse of the serial killers that lurk in the hearts of milquetoasts. (There's sometimes a wonderfully manic touch of Dracula's Renfield in his performance.) I was completely taken with LISA O'HARE as Monty's love interest, Sibella; in "Poor Monty," she seemed to be channeling the young GLYNIS JOHNS. But despite Freedman's adroit, witty lyrics, Lutvak's music never achieves lift-off. Act II lags terribly. (The one high point is the farcical number "I've Decided to Marry You.") At one point I scribbled on my notepad, "I never need to see this again." But at least it let me down in an interesting way: I've never seen a musical with so many clever individual things going for it that left me feeling so dissatisfied.

Mini 14 or Mini 30?
July 20, 2012, 10:05 PM
I will save up for one because I've always wanted one. What are pros and cons of the two calibers in this platform?
the rifleer
July 20, 2012, 10:14 PM
Well do you want it to shoot .223 or do you want it to shoot 7.62x39?
Its the same gun, both are the same. They are just chambered differently.

I agree with Rifleer, they shouldn't be much different. The 30 might be slightly bigger then the 14 due to the larger round.
July 20, 2012, 11:47 PM
I know the difference in caliber. That's the basic quandary. I'm leaning towards the 7.62x39 because it seems ammo would be cheaper but I suspect better hunting loads would be found in .223. I wouldn't try to shoot any bigger than medium game plus 2-and 4-legged predators if need be. I don't know what bullet options there are if I choose to reload them.
Plenty of people hunt here with a .223 and yes, it's legal
the rifleer
July 20, 2012, 11:51 PM
I think 7.62x39 would actually make a better hunting round. In fact i know it would.
July 21, 2012, 12:05 AM
I think 7.62x39 would actually make a better hunting round.
Depends. What are you hunting?
Also, a key component has to do with ammo. Wolf 223 compared to Federal 7.62 is no contest.
I've owned both. They're both great.
July 21, 2012, 12:48 AM
i wouldnt necessarily call x39 cheaper, much of the surplus sources are dried up so the costs of ammunition are rising for x39 because of it, so ammo costs will end up being about the same
also, ive never noticed much difference at all besides the obvious differences of the two cartridges, so your decision will ultimately be whether you want a .223 or an x39
chris in va
July 21, 2012, 12:56 AM
223 has less recoil if that matters. Also reloadable, unlike most x39.
July 21, 2012, 05:56 AM
If I was dead set on a Ruger i'd get the Mini 30. There are not as many 7.62 platforms available and the Ruger is one of the better, with at least some options for aftermarket magazines etc. If I wanted 223, I wouldn't waste my tme with a Ruger and would go with an AR.
You might fnd 7.62X39 plinking ammo at the same price as plinking ammo for the 223, but I doubt it will be cheaper. Locally about $6/box is the same for either. But quality, accurate ammo, or ammo suitable for hunting purposes is going to be less expensive for a 223. At least around here.
With good ammo the 7.62 is a SLGHTLY better option for deer sized game. But with good bullets a 223 will kill any deer in the coutry just fine within a somewhat limited range. Certainly not over 200 yards, and for really large deer I'd limit shots to 100 or less. For varmits in an accurate rifle the 223 is a far better option.
July 21, 2012, 09:29 AM
i would go .223, most countries around the world dont even use 7.62x39 anymore, as a military cartridge its all but dead... and who knows, .223 might be out the same door soon too, but atleast for the time being its the most popular military cartridge worldwide
however, the above post is correct, most 7.62x39 platforms outside of the AK use AR15 style magazines which just dont have the curvature for the cartridge, the ruger mini doesnt have a magwell, and therefore they dont have that feeding problem

6 to 1, half a dozen to the other, really.
One is a nasty mean old short stubby fat rusty commie round, the other a sleek shiney trim fast lightweight made in 'Merica by Capitalists cartridge. :D
Both will take out Wile E Coyote or Bambi out to 200 yds or so, if shot placement is precise. The .223 might have more reach, the 7.62x39 more oomph out to a point.
I understand that Ruger has "fixed" most of the minis old errant ways in terms of accuracy, but to me it is and has always been a ranch rifle. 1st shot counts to kill the critter. I like the miniature garand concept and Rugers "we stand behind our products" position.
Does Ruger still warn Mini 30 owners not to use surplus ammo? dunno. I bought a Mini30 back in the day because I had an SKS and an AK and the round was touted to be similar to the .30-30 performance wise, but my little Ruger did not like commie ammo. durn.
What do they run NIB? $600-700? Hmmm. I could buy an old russkie SKS and a new russkie Saiga in 5.56 combined for purt near that amount of money and go broke turning money into noise with both. Or I could buy a pretty good AR platform... but I digress.
If you have any other long guns in one of the two chamberings, I'd keep that in mind with an eye to buy like kind. If not, I'd opt for the .223 thinking that as long as Uncle Sam shoots it, ammo makers will still be making plenty and it can reach out to 500 yds in the right platform (farther actually). On the other hand, I suppose in 1000 years or so, the world will run out of M43 steel cased ammo... maybe. American ammo mfgs are producing the 7.62x39 tho, so that's yet another moot point.
6 to 1... ;)
July 21, 2012, 02:18 PM
I encountered this same conundrum before eventually deciding to go to a full size .308 M1A. But I did quite a bit of research and spent quite a bit of time looking into the matter.
One advantage you may find with a Mini-14 is that that most of the aftermarket accesories were intended to be used with it. For example there is a slight difference in the mag well that can make all the difference when hunting for aftermarket stocks (See the Sage CQB for instance) if you're looking to go that direction. The same applies to optics hardware if I remember right but not to the same degree.
As far as .223 vs 7.62x39 is concerned the arguement is as old as both rounds have been around. When I was looking at Minis I was leaning more towards the Mini-30 because at the time 7.62x39 was cheaper (this was about 5 years ago) and I just wanted something I could bust pop bottles and the occasional coyote with.
All things considered the decision is ultamately up to you, but you really can't go wrong with either option.
July 21, 2012, 02:49 PM
I was looking at a mini thirty, but due to many reasons (several hundred reasons actually), got an SKS. Couldn't be happier.
That several hundred dollars I saved is buying a lot of ammo.
July 21, 2012, 03:24 PM
Between the Mini-14 and the Mini-30, I go with the Mini-14. The Mini-30 is widely reported to not work well with steel-cased ammunition, and by far the most inexpensive, most widely available 7.62x39 is steel-cased ammo. You will spend 2 or even 3 times as much on domestic, brass-cased 7.62x39 as would on the cheap steel-cased stuff, and it will be harder to find, too. The -14's supposedly handle steel-cased ammo better, but failing that inexpensive brass-cased .223/5.56 is pretty common.
If you really like the 7.62x39 round compared to the .223, there are quite a few more reliable options out there for that caliber, a good number of which will actually cost LESS than a Mini-30 anyways.
July 21, 2012, 04:22 PM
There really is no "cheap ammo" anymore, compared to prices 5 yrs or so ago.
For me, it was Mini-30. With bullet weights available up to 150 grains commercially it is a more reliable medium (deer) game rifle than .223, space bullets included. And high quality, bonded, partioned, etc .223 ammo is not as common on a wlalk in basis as you might think. You will not get Nosler Partitions, bonded bullets, or monoalloy at Wally World. There's a whole raft of .30 cal round nose slugs too, intended for .30-30, which will work in the Mini-30 as well, if one is a a reloader.
Lately, Ruger has made factoy x39 hicap mags, which was the Mini-30's weak point. No longer.
The standard SKS is entirely to long and heavy for what is alleged to be, a carbine. And quality, appearance and condition etc are a roll of the dice. and an sKS will not easliy scope.
But, back to .223 v. x39mm. If all you want is a blaster and will not hunt the rifle for deer and hogs, might as well get the mini-14/.223. If you will indeed take on deer and say hogs, the x39 miini-30 is a better choice. But ammo is not cheap either way.

If I wanted a semi in 7.62 x 39 mm, I'd get an SKS. They're reliable and inexpensive. If I wanted a 5.56 mm, I'd get the Mini-14.

Very well put.

Another option is to look for a used "14" in 6.8 SPC....
Better ballistics than the 7.62, more energy than the 5.56...
Discontinued because of lack of demand (the round never has caught on due to cost and other factors), but for a hunting application from the Mini platform, it would be my choice.

Ok, for a guy who is really looking for a good ranch rifle, make a recommendation.
I have a couple of semi-auto .22LR. And some bolt action larger calibers, plus my dad's lever .30-30.
I want something to throw in the truck or take on the 4 wheeler around the fields and woodland on the family farm. Occasional hunting, but I'm not a trophy kind of guy. I want to get rid of a hog or coyote as necessary.
The .22 is just too small. The 30-06 is just too big. And since Dad died I kind of want to preserve his Winchester. Maybe that's silly but I'd hate to drop it in a ditch and have to fish it back out.
The mini-30 seems like a lot more rifle than I likely care about. The mini-14 is probably more my style. But chambered how? Isn't the 6.8SPC hard to find?
July 22, 2012, 04:36 PM
Not sure what you mean by the 30 being "more rifle" than you care about.
Size wise, identical to the 14.
The 14 was designed and marketed for exactly the use you're describing.
Too many here and elsewhere waste their breath comparing the Mini to the AR platform. It was never intended to "compete" with the AR. It was designed as a "Mini" M-14... rotating bolt, op rod...simple, foolproof action that goes BANG every time you pull the trigger. Utterly reliable.
That's why they call it the "Ranch Rifle"....
The Mini in 5.56 is perfect for most uses, but might be a bit on the light side for big hogs. Certainly fine for dogs.
The Mini-30 in 7.62 x 39 offers more energy at shorter ranges- ballistics are inferior to the 5.56, and has more punch at shorter ranges- but, it drops like a rock inside of 200 yards.
The 6.8 SPC is basically the 7.62 x 39 on steroids- better ballistics, longer range.
Ammo for the 6.8 SPC is more expensive than the common AK plinking ammo you can get in 7.62 x 39- but for your use as a truck gun, and getting rid of the occasional hog or yote, it would be hard to beat. If your shooting is going to be inside of 150 yards or so, the 30 would be fine.
The 14 in 6.8 SPC is not particularly common, but I do see a few currently for sale.
There's another thread running with some info on these- see post #10 by Mehavey here:
July 22, 2012, 04:41 PM
Mil-surp and steel cased 7.62 often won't work in Mini 30s because of hard primers. It's also hard on extractors.
I've got a Mini 14, but I'd never buy another. They cost too much for what you get.
I stick to commie weapons now - I'd much rather have a good AK-47 than all the Rugers in the world. For what you have to pay for a Mini, you can buy a good AK-47.
I would also rather have an SKS than a Mini. The SKS runs all day on steel mil-surp ammo, just like an AK. Both are honest-to-God combat weapons. Shooting Mil-surp / steel rounds is the only way I can afford to shoot.
I got this Norinco MAK 90 Sporter for under $550 a few weeks ago. You'll never find a good Mini for that price.
It's real ugly, until you shoot it. :D
July 22, 2012, 05:04 PM
I thought of it as "too much" as I was under the impression that the larger magazine capacity made it a rather larger rifle. I haven't researched them extensively, but I did note that the accessories don't interchange. So they must be different somehow. But if they're the same size, ostensibly, maybe the 30 is the ticket. Can you stick a smaller magazine on the 30?
And I do like the fact that it isn't trying to be an AR-15. I have nothing against the AR-15 platform, but it doesn't fit my needs very well.
Thanks for the link. I'll start there.
July 22, 2012, 05:35 PM
for the 30 you can get smaller magazines, I have the tactical model 30 and love it, it is both compact and plenty accurate for the purpse I chose for it, short range deer rifle pest eliminator.
Im saving for a 14 later on, as I sold my old one and miss it.
Ive not shot a hog but have shot some deer with mine, and works just fine.
as for the pros and cons, of the two chamberings...depends on what you need.
both will take deer and varmint.
both are cheaper to shoot, though the .223 has more options'
my 30 will shoot the silver/golden bear ammo just fine, dont remember too many ftf, im sure there have been a few. Privi makes some good ammo as well.
Hunting ammo is gonna cost you no matter what, its a small cost in the grand scheme of things.
anyway, good luck both are great fun

My Mini 14 was built in '90 and used only ('08-'09) Wolf and Silver Bear ammo. Each of my 1,500 or so rounds fired the first time. There was no other ammo.
The Mini 30 was built in '04, bought in '08.
Having used only Wolf and Monarch, both recent Russian-made ammo, the firing pin needed a second strike, maybe every forty-sixty rounds.
The 30's aftermarket mag was a metal Promag, and misfed one out of every eighty rds. or so, which to me isn't bad. By the way, this happens with my all-original, all-matching Norinco SKS. Yes, the SKS has the original matching magazine and the gun is cleaned after every two (small) boxes of ammo.
Contrary to what other people have preferred, the only thing I did not like about both Minis was that those old post sights were really thick, and they were sold for that reason. Bought my first authentic Enfield Jungle Carbine:) with the Mini 14's cash, and an FR8:) with cash from the Mini 30.
Axelwik: You might enjoy the improved accuracy with the fully-adjust. Tech Sight:) on your SKS.
July 23, 2012, 04:24 AM
If your heart is set on a Mini, you probably can't go wrong with either. As far as ammo availability, it sounds shocking to even think of a future where 7.62x39 is scarce. There are probably at least a million guns shooting that caliber in this country (probably much more) and it's the cartridge of choice in most of the rest of the world. My brother has a 14 and I own an SKS. We both love our guns, but they are both very different. Mini's are incredibly light and much easier to upgrade, but they will not be any where near as reliable or rugged as an SKS. Many have told you before that their Minis can be finicky with the steel stuff but an SKS never turns down a free meal. As an aside, I personally HATE the way the mag seats in the Mini. Maybe it's just the specimen here, but it is a grievance I have to air.
You have so many options in those calibers that it almost makes your head spin. I would really nail down your purpose. That will dictate your caliber and platform. There's nothing wrong with a Mini, but there are plenty of other options out there.
I have found it interesting to read in several places that many soldiers have felt the 5.56 to be inadequate against human targets in Afghanistan. I have read that many of the Taliban there are constantly doped up (and they're in no short supply there) and can absorb multiple hits with their M4s. I have heard of many mercenary groups using AK type weapons. Whether this is because of availability and ammo, I'm not sure. If that plays into your decision at all, maybe that will help.
July 23, 2012, 09:33 AM
Personally I'd take the Mini-14 over the 30 any day, Ruger still only recomends:
"RUGER® MINI THIRTY® rifles are chambered for the 7.62 x 39mm
cartridge, and can use either standard U.S. military or factory loaded sporting
7.62 x 39mm cartridges manufactured in accordance with U.S. industry practice."
I would shy away the steel cased berdan primed ammo just because of the rumors of broken firing pins with it. I'm sure there's plenty of Mini 30 owners that have used the cheaper ammo with no issues, but I wouldn't want to risk putting my rifle out of comission.
July 24, 2012, 07:34 AM
Here's the way I see it. If you want to shoot 7.62x39, get an AK built to your specifications. If you want to shoot .223, get the Mini-14. I never quite understood what the Mini-30 does better than a well built AK.
July 25, 2012, 11:41 AM
looks nicer is about all, and good for those who dont really like a pistol grip and want a more traditional looking rifle.
Other than that, dunno

Great Product posted on 19/04/2011 by SR
Great product that certainly makes cleaning the tank easier Was a bit sceptical when purchasing but after using it would recommend without reservation Minimum disturbance to the fish and great that you can actually see the water clearing as you use it Great buy
Absolutely excellent! posted on 06/10/2010 by MCC
I don't exactly look forward to cleaning out the fish tank, especially cleaning the gravel, but after just one dose of the 'Aquarium Cleaner', the difference it's made in sludge and algae build up, is so noticeable, I can't recommend it enough, brilliant!

I ran across these the other day has anyone seen them..?
Assuming you mean seen them in the metal, no, not as yet, I was waiting to see how the range expands before dipping my toe in the water.
They are advertised as 28mm, rather than 25mm, but Irregular are usually on the smaller side.
The Italian infantry don't look quite right for either Piedmontese or Neapolitans, neither fish nor fowl, but I'm nitpicking and it is good to see a new range for this very colourful period.
I like the look of the Garibaldini -I'll be adding some of these to my French Republican FPW army.
I very pleased to see something for this era coming out that I don't have to order from aboard.
Sadly nothing for the first war (1848-49) as far as I can see.

I phoned the company and spoke to the owner, Bill MacKentley. I explained that my order had specified shipping in late April if fully dormant or June 1st if not. He said they won't ship that late. My order form clearly showed my phone number, e-mail address, and mailing address and yet I received no contact from the nursery to say that my requested shipping dates were unacceptable. I complained that the plants were already budded out, and he said they will break dormancy within 24-hours during shipment. I explained that I did not believe these plants would survive now that they have broken dormancy as we are still having temperatures in the teens at night. (In fact, we had over 18" of snow last night.) He said those were the risks of farming. Well, he is the farmer. I am not; I am the customer. The business risks of farming are his. I paid $69.50 for 3 small cherry whips. For him to be unwilling to work with me after I was so clear about shipping dates is inexcusable in my view. I had the same problem last year and none of the plants I purchased from him survived. I decided to take a chance this year and try again because this was the only source I could find for the 'Carmine Jewel' cherries. What a mistake. Never again.

After reading the other posted comments and ratings, I am apalled by how my experience pales in comparison. Unfortunately, I found these people to be slow to respond to e-mails, [sometimes 2-3 weeks, if at all], no phone call the day of shipment, and no 'instruction booklet'. I ordered 35 apple trees of unusual varieties to add to my collection of 125 HEALTHY varieties. This property also has 9 old, [over a century, by most estimates], apple trees that are also still quite healthy. 34 trees arrived, with no mention of the discrepancy, or any comment regarding a refund. Of the trees that did arrive, 14 of them showed advanced anthracose infestation, 11 showed signs of various bark breakdown, [flaking and peeling away from the wood with unviable buds along these spaces, and distal to them], 7 of them showed signs of rodent damage at the base, [some older, and some recent], and one had dead wood at the top 2 inches, with another fungal infection. The local extension agent advised against putting these trees in the orchard, and I agree. Pitty, as the time and expense of preparing for them is all a waste....They have some unique apple varieties that, unfortunately, will no longer have a place in my orchard.

Yup, that's Andre right there in the center leading some women from DodgersWIN in some yoga exercises. If yoga is the secret to the Dodgers success, then I suggest that the Mets take up yoga...fast.

That's the way to get chicks. As if he needed it being a Dodger. Save some for the rest of us, though I don't live anywhere near LA.

I know it's me, but by him doing this and having more girls fawn over him, it takes away even more of the ever so slight possibility of me getting one of them.

Chicago Cubs 8, Dodgers 1
AT THE PLATE: The Dodgers' lone run came in the ninth inning, when Juan Uribe doubled to center field to score Elian Herrera. The hit was the second of two for Uribe, who isn't a lock to make the opening-day roster even though he is still owed $8 million. Uribe is batting .240 this spring.
ON THE MOUND: Chris Capuano was charged with five runs and six hits in 41/3 innings. "I had a little trouble with the fastball command early in the game today," Capuano said. He said he felt his command improve as the game progressed. Capuano pitched a perfect fourth inning and retired the only batter he faced in the fifth.
EXTRA BASES: With the Dodgers collecting only four hits, Manager Don Mattingly sensed his team was low on energy. "It feels like we've been here a long time, you know?" Mattingly said. "I've got a feeling it's not just us. But I still don't like it because I think you get bad habits like this. If you don't play with some energy, you get bad habits. We can't do that. You have to push yourself through this."
UP NEXT: vs. San Diego on Friday at 1 p.m. at Peoria Sports Complex in Peoria; vs. Kansas City on Friday at 7 PDT at Camelback Ranch in Phoenix. On the air: TV: none; Radio: none.
