Why practice multiple standards in treating foreign migrants here?
Malaysiakini news May 14, 08 6:00pm
My comment: It is very easy. To solve that Sabah problem and as a gesture of mercy to the Myanmars in West Malaysia, just transfer all the RELA to Sabah.
De facto law minister Zaid Ibrahim is the champion of Burmese Opposition. He should follow up with the unfair treatment on all the Burmese/Myanmars here.
Gerakan today urged the government to take concrete steps to address the grievances of Sabahans including the possibility of calling a royal commission on the issue of illegal immigrants in the state.
"This undesirable situation has led to a lot of discontent amongst the Sabah people who have also raised questions about how some illegal migrants managed to get permanent resident (PR) and even citizenship status," said acting party leader Dr Koh Tsu Khoon in a statement today.
"Therefore, in order to answer such queries and to take concrete measures to prevent more illegal migrants from entering Sabah, it may be necessary to set up a royal commission of enquiry as requested by some Barisan Nasional component parties."
Koh was referring to the serious allegations that illegal immigrants from neighbouring Philippines and Indonesia have been given identity cards (IC) by the authorities to enable them to vote in elections.
He said the problem of illegal migrants is one of the many long-standing issues which has affected the "livelihood, social fabric, and security of the people of Sabah".
There has been conflicting accounts from official and unofficial sources on the exact number of illegal immigrants in the state. Most, however, agree that the number is around 750,000.
The total number of foreigners, including illegal immigrants, in Sabah is estimated at 1.75 million.As a result, foreigners outnumbered locals in the state, which has a total population of 3.3 million. Most of the working foreigners are employed in the construction and agricultural sectors.
Sabahan member of parliament Abdul Ghapur Salleh (BN-Kalabakan) said today_
Asserting that crime and safety were issues that come under the responsibilities of the federal government, Abdul Ghapur called for a federal-level committee to tackle the issue of undocumented migrants. the issue of illegal immigrants, as they would want to be with the Philippines. What will happen to Sabah?! What will happen to Sabah?!"
Despite having raised these issues many times before, there seemed a lack of seriousness on the part of the administration in Putrajaya to solve the problems raised, he added.
"What goes into the (federal government's) right ear comes out the left," he said.
He also said "there are many double-standards in Barisan Nasional" Yes! read this below. For Myanmar citizens, even for the Muslims, we are unfairly discriminated.
There is also widespread discontent in Sabah over the steady influx of illegal immigrants from the Philippines and Indonesia who have somehow managed to obtain identity cards as well as voting rights.
Meanwhile, another component party United Pasok Momogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (Upko)
Party vice-president Dr Marcus Mojigoh warned that this could lead to the downfall of the Barisan government.
According to local newspaper Daily Express, Mojigoh said there were claims of "over a million newly-created Malays" from the Philippines and Indonesia in Sabah.

Choosing the right roof materials isn't the most exciting way to spend your time but sooner or later you will need a new roof from a Louisville roofing company. That's why it is important to know what you are getting into so you can maximize the return on your investment. What you basically need to know is that there are a range of roofing choices available to you, each with their own qualities. The important point here is these options allow you tailor your choice based on what factor is most important to you, whether it is budget, longevity, style, or a combination of all three. Typically, lower costing roofs come with a shorter lifespan while more expensive roofing gives the security of greater longevity. You just need to find the balance between those characteristics to discover what works for your wallet.
You should also be aware of the fact that the roof covering (the shingles or sheet metal) is part of a larger roofing system. That system includes other important items like sheathing, underlayment, flashing and similar provisions necessary for a leak-proof roof. Proper insulation and ventilation also play an important role in the roofing system. A good roof protects everything underneath it. Paying close attention to what's available and how they perform will serve you well in getting a roof that's durable, long lasting and economical too. Our experts can help you throughout the entire process by providing the knowledge and expertise you need so you can make the right decision for your family.

Over the last year, our writers have tested a bucketful of bikes, a barn load of clothing and gear, and attended a bookcase full of cycling events. Which of these, though, have tickled their fancies enough to warrant the bestowing of a coveted Singletrack Editors' Choice Award? Over to Chipps!
Chipps – Editor
What a year! After enduring about four winters, we finally had the summer that everyone had been dreaming about for years. Long, dry days, a collection of riding buddies popping round and a slew of brilliant events to ride at meant that 2018 was one of the best mountain biking years I can remember. In among all that I got to ride some great bikes and to use, wear and wear out a fair amount of kit. Now I just need to maintain the momentum through the darker months and into the next year of awesome weather, right?
Ibis Ripmo
It seems that the enduro, downhill and heavy-hitting trail world is starting to favour the 29in wheel and Ibis Cycles launched this new Ripmo 29er in the spring to complement its already popular 27.5in HD4. I got to ride the pre-launch bike for a couple of weeks this spring and it made a lasting impression.
With 145mm rear travel and a 160mm fork, the Ripmo is on the upper end of travel that I'd normally entertain for trail riding. I generally find that I prefer a lighter, shorter travel bike, but the Ripmo had such a natural feeling ride that it felt more like an everyday trail machine, but one that had a great depth of talent (or talent compensation) on call when needed. The steep seat angle and ride position gave it a climbing urgency that impressed, even with chunky 2.6in tyres, while the low-slung top tube and 65° head angle bestowed a rocket ship mentality to descents. While some other modern 29ers do similar things, it was the way that the Ibis pulled these disparate talents into one bike that made me wish I could spend more time on it. Everyone I lent it to came back with a plan for some sort of bulk-buy scheme.
Aussie Grit Thermal Gilet
I've been testing a few bits and pieces from this Mark Webber-inspired clothing company this year and it's been immediately obvious that the whole range is designed with huge attention to detail. Things like the fit and the cut of the soft-shell jacket are only rivalled by the likes of Arcteryx and 7Mesh, with tiny, sealed seams and an obsessive minimalism that I approve of. My favourite piece, though, has to be the thermal gilet. The humble gilet doesn't get enough love, but Aussie Grit has given this slim-fitting vest a waffle fleece-backed windproof front and a ventilated back, a couple of rear pockets (one zipped) hold minimal essentials (assuming your tube/CO2 is on your bike) and that's about it. It's effective enough to substitute a whole mid layer in the spring, or in summer evenings, and it does the same worn under a jacket in a blizzard, yet it rolls down to the size of a water bottle, or a can of Monster. If you're a minimalist rider in cool or changeable weather, this is a great garment to pack.
Malverns Classic
Back in issue 119, I suggested that the organiser of the 2019 Malverns Classic was going to have a hard job trying to please everyone. Resurrecting a once hugely popular event, held dear in the rose-tinted memories of thousands of fans (and completely unknown to thousands more) was always going to be a risky proposal, but Si Paton and his small team managed to pull it off. Although there were a few obvious rough edges (rough enough though, that you'll know they'll be fixed for next time), the overall balance of the event was spot on. There were retro bikes, of course, but there were also newbies and even downhillers – who took the gently-rolling Herefordshire landscape for what it was and made the most of the racing there.
Seeing old school legends like Dave Hemming, Jez Avery and Kerry Bason rubbing shoulders with Ratboy and the new enduro generation was a blast, while the racing and especially the spectating and after-hours shenanigans was everything that the Malverns ever was. A winning formula.
Wolf Tooth Chain Pliers Tool
Firstly, I reckon that the chain powerlink is one of the finest mountain bike inventions of the century. Whereas we used to push pins through the chain and then try to rejoin using the same pin, or a 'where did I put it?' new pin, we can now just snap in a new link. This progress has been prompted by the ever-thinning of chains as gears multiply. While joining chains is now a breeze (if you have a new link), splitting them is all but impossible unless you have a workshop tool.
But now, here's Wolftooth's new tool. It's super-slimline, but splits (and rejoins) split links with efficiency. It'll also loosen stubborn valve tips and help shift valve lock-rings (up to a point – it's only human, after all) for the times you need the valve out of the way for a tube to go on. Best of all, it'll store two pairs of split links – say, a 10 and 11 speed.
No, most riders probably don't need one, but if you're the kind of rider who delights in helping friends and strangers at the side of the trail, or you're a middle-of-nowhere rider or a bike guide, this is an essential bit of kit for your tool roll.
Comments (3)
got a wolftooth myself expensive, but after having cold hands and failing to split my chain, after a rear mech break, its well worth the avoidance of having to push home
As someone who boasts that he can get tyres off with just thumb-power alone, I still carry a tyre lever for just such a cold hands in the rain reason… 🙂
What shorts are you wearing there Chipps? They look the business.

text: SpyGlass #121 Posted January 19 I was toying with idea of just using bits of the laser engraved deck like the lovely nibbed section detail and the nice joints on the adjacent planks but could i get a colour match of the wood ? First thing though - does your laser deck show any grain marking over a wide area covering multiple planks - its the one thing that can spoil laser engraved detail and also perhaps its juuuust a wee bit too precise and perfect ? !

History[edit | edit source]
In 1440 Vienna became the resident city of the Habsburg dynasty. It eventually grew to become the de facto capital of the Holy Roman Empire from 1483 to 1806. Hungary occupied the city between 1485 and 1490. In the 16th and 17th centuries Christian forces stopped Ottoman armies twice outside Vienna and a plauge ravaged epidemic ravaged Vienna in 1679 killing nearly a third of its population.
During the 19th and early 20th centuries many Eastern European Jews spent time in Vienna.[1] In 1938, after a triumphant entry into Austria, Austrian-born Adolf Hitler spoke to the Austrian Germans from the balcony of the Neue Burg, a part of the Hofburg at the Heldenplatz. Viennese Jews were looted, deported and murdered. Between 1938 and the end of the Second World War, Vienna lost its status as a capital to Berlin as Austria ceased to exist and became a part of Nazi Germany. It was not until 1955 that Austria regained full sovereignty.
Vienna fell eleven days later. Austria was separated from Germany, and Vienna was restored as the republic's capital city, but the Soviet hold on the city remained until 1955.
Vienna is in exactly a similar position to Berlin. It is surrounded by a Soviet Zone of occupation and we have our sector of responsibility in Vienna the same as the Americans and the French.
In 1804, during the Napoleonic Wars, Vienna became the capital of the Austrian Empire and continued to play a major role in European and world politics, including hosting the Congress of Vienna in 1814/15. After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, Vienna remained the capital of what was then the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 1918, after World War I, Vienna became capital of the Republic of German-Austria, and then in 1919 of the First Republic of Austria. Between 1938 and the end of the Second World War, Vienna lost its status as a capital as Austria ceased to exist and became a part of Nazi Germany. It was not until 1955 that Austria regained full sovereignty. After the war, Vienna was part of Soviet-occupied Eastern Austria until September 1945. As in Berlin, Vienna in September 1945 was divided into sectors by the four powers: the US, the UK, France and the Soviet Union and supervised by an Allied Commission. The four-power control of Vienna lasted until the Austrian State Treaty was signed in May 1955.[2]
For Austria Research, You Must Know Your Ancestors' Town[edit | edit source]
- To begin using the records Austria, just knowing that your family came from Vienna will probably not be enough. Vienna was made up of many different parishes. Records are kept on the local level, so you will have to know the town they lived in. It will also be helpful to know where the closest Evangelical Lutheran, Catholic, Greek Orthodox, etc. parish church was (depending on their religion).
Research to Find the Town[edit | edit source]
If you do not yet know the name of the town of your ancestor's birth, there are well-known strategies for a thorough hunt for it.
- Use Gathering Information to Locate Place of Origin as a guide in exhausting every possible record to find what you need. It was written for Germany, but the same methods apply.
- Also, search the many databases listed under Online Records. Many of them cover all of Vienna, and if your ancestor is listed in them, there might be information that narrows down the search.
If You Know the Town, Next Use the GenTeam Gazetteer[edit | edit source]
GenTeam is an online gazetteer that covers the current countries of Austria, Czech Republic, and Slovenia (most of the area belonging to the Austro-Hungarian Empire). It gives former (German) and current names of locations, the name of the parish, the beginning year of the records, and the archive that holds the records. It will also give details on earlier parishes the locality belonged to. It then links to the website of that archive.

Reading the Records[edit | edit source]
- It's easier than you think! You do not have to be fluent in French and German to use these records, as there is only a limited vocabulary used in them. By learning a few key phrases, you will be able to read them adequately. Here are some resources for learning to read German records.
- These video webinars will teach you to read German handwriting:
- Also online interactive slideshow lessons are available to help you learn to read these records:
- Reading German Handwritten Records Lesson 1: Kurrent Letters
- Reading German Handwritten Records Lesson 2: Making Words in Kurrent
- Reading German Handwritten Records Lesson 3: Reading Kurrent Documents. In this lesson, you will explore several types of German genealogical records, including birth, baptismal, marriage, and death records.

Search Strategy[edit | edit source]
- Search for the relative or ancestor you selected. When you find his birth record, search for the births of his brothers and sisters.
- Next, search for the marriage of his parents. The marriage record will have information that will often help you find the birth records of the parents.
- You can estimate the ages of the parents and determine a birth year to search for their birth records.
- Search the death registers for all known family members.
- Repeat this process for both the father and the mother, starting with their birth records, then their siblings' births, then their parents' marriages, and so on.
- If earlier generations (parents, grandparents, etc.) do not appear in the records, search neighboring parishes.
Directories[edit | edit source]
Lehmann[edit | edit source]
The Lehmann directories were produced irregularly from 1859 to 1870 then annually until 1942 with the exception of a single edition for 1921-1922. Work began on updating an edition in the August or September preceding the year of publication which occurred at the beginning of the calendar year. So, for example, the upheavals of 1938 are reflected in the 1939 edition. Starting in 1893, the Lehmann was divided into two volumes.
Whilst the reliability of the data is considered to be generally high, complete accuracy can not be assumed. The editorial regularly complained about the tardiness and poor legibility of letters received. Moreover, the publishers decided that with the rapid expansion of the city, they could no longer aspire to be complete, especially in the personal directory.
Alphabetical sorting order: the Lehmann uses some sorting rules which would not be found today. For example, in some editions the letters "I" and "J" are treated as the same letter; the street name "Kleine Pfarrgasse" is found under the letter "P" and not "K".
Generally speaking, the directory has five parts of genealogical interest although the order and naming of the parts change over the course of publication:
- names of residents in alphabetical order. Only household heads who own or rent a dwelling; does not include sub-tenants or servants so many working class families and individuals will not be found. An entry will typically give the surname, given name, occupation rank or status, Vienna district, street name and number.
- street register. In the early years, the naming and numbering of streets was neither stable nor consistent and this is reflected in the Lehmanns. It can be even more confusing to find that housenumbering was not continuous. The 1859 first edition divides Vienna into three parts: the inner city, the 34 Vorstädte (inner suburbs outside the old city wall but within the Linienwall) and the 36 Vororte (outer suburbs). Over editions one can see the effects of reforms in the naming of streets and the numbering of houses (for example, from 1862-1864), urban expansion (in 1874 the creation of Favoriten as the 10th district, the first outside the city limits, then set by the Gürtel ring road; the decision in 1890 to integrate the Vororte into the city proper; in 1904 the creation of the 21st district from villages on the left bank of the Danube) and the changes following the great political upheavals (1918, 1934, 1938). Post war developments mean that it can be difficult to map old Vienna addresses using modern mapping tools such as Google Maps.
For the editions of 1925, 1926, 1932-36 and 1938-42 the street directory is expanded into a home listing which adds to the alphabetical listing of Vienna streets by listing the dwellings in that section with the details of the householder.
- company.
- industry
- authorities. The content of this section varies over time but includes government offices, infrastructure, educational institutions, health care institutions, associations, newspapers. Some groupings moved into and out of this section according to the times; for example: landlords, banks, doctors and lawyers. There are details of embassies and lists of elected officials.
The Lehmanns have been digitised and made available online by the Vienna Library: Lehmann Online in German.

Configuring OAuth2 Authentication in Netsparker Standard
Netsparker Standard supports the OAuth2 Authentication mechanism, enabling you to configure scans for websites that require OAuth2 authentication.
The OAuth2 authentication mechanism in Netsparker Standard supports all grant types that are defined in RFC-6749. In addition, Netsparker has a Custom flow that is used for token based authentication, except OAuth2 flows.
OAuth2 Authentication Fields
This table lists and explains the fields in the OAuth2 Authentication section.
Flow Type
Select one. There are five types:
Select an authentication type. The options are:
Access Token
In this tab, you can configure the parameters required to make a request to the Access Token endpoint to retrieve the OAuth2 access token.
Authorization Code
In this tab, you can configure the parameters required to make a request to the Authorization Code endpoint to retrieve the Authorization Code.
This tab is visible only when the Flow Type selected is Authorization Code.
Response Fields
Endpoint(s) and associated parameters must be configured. Netsparker automatically lists the default parameter names and values defined in the RFC-6749. Because these parameter names and values may vary between implementations, Netsparker allows you to add, remove and edit them.
How to Configure OAuth2 Authentication in Netsparker Standard
- Open Netsparker Standard.
- From the Home tab, click New. The Start a New Website or Web Service Scan dialog is displayed.
- Click the OAuth2 tab.
- From the Flow Type dropdown, select an option.
- In the Endpoint field, enter the endpoint URL.
- If the Authorization Code has been selected as the Flow Type above, an additional panel will be displayed to set its endpoint values. The Authorization Code will be automatically requested from its endpoint and redirected to the Access Token endpoint. The name of the code field that will be sent to the Access Token endpoint can be edited, though its value cannot (it is a dynamic value that is automatically populated by Netsparker).
- If OAuth2 endpoints requires an additional authentication, such as Form or Basic, Digest, NTLM/Kerberos authentication, you must configure them from the Authentication dropdown (see Configuring Form Authentication in Netsparker Standard and Configuring Basic, Digest, NTLM/Kerberos Authentication in Netsparker Standard).
OAuth2 flows that requires 3-Legged authentication such as filling username/password fields, or interacting by clicking an 'Allow' button, are now fully supported.
If a form requires a username and password, you can provide credentials using the 3-Legged Authentication. section. Also interactions, such as clicking buttons, can be achieved with custom scripting support.
For further information on custom scripting, see Custom Scripts for Form Authentication in Netsparker Standard.
- Click the Response Fields tab. These fields are already populated with the default values defined in RFC-6749.

Superstorm Sandy had stampeded through Coney Island the previous night, its surge drenching amusement rides and leaving behind mud and debris. The electricity was dead. Now it was the morning of Oct. 30, 2012, and a fearful Steve Vourderis was focused on the magnificent treasure that belonged to his family: The nearly century-old, 150-foot-high Wonder Wheel.
Would this beloved mechanical marvel ever turn again?
While the 200-ton Bethlehem steel structure had been tied down with dozens of ropes to keep it safe from the storm's powerful winds, the Wheel's 24 cars had been stowed away in the underground workshop that was now filled with gallons of corrosive salt water. And its computer-controlled system had been rendered lifeless by the surge.
Reviving the Wheel was more than a matter of fixing the signature ride at Deno's Wonder Wheel Amusement Park. It was a matter of family pride and legacy — for three generations, the very lives of the Vourderis family have revolved around the Great Wheel. They are the caretakers of a city icon that has shaped the summertime thrills of millions of people.
During their stewardship of the Wheel, the family had restored it from a state of near ruin in the 1980s to make it one of Coney Island's most famous rides and have continued a spotless safety record with no major accidents or injuries to passengers stretching back to 1920.
This year, the Vourderis family kicked off a summerlong celebration of the anniversary of the Wonder Wheel, with a birthday celebration on Memorial Day marking the day when it opened 95 years ago. Two generations of the Vourderis family that has owned Deno's Wonder Wheel Amusement Park gathered to sing "Happy Birthday" and handed out party hats and favors.
Besides the Cyclone, the Wheel is the only large thrill ride of its kind still operating from the heyday of the 1920s, and is among the oldest pleasure wheels in the United States. Its fame has spread globally, its image appearing in movies like the cult-classic "The Warriors" and on television shows like this summer's cable hit "Mr. Robot" with Christian Slater. It has even inspired sibling rides in Japan and at Disney California Adventure. More than 30 million people have experienced it.
To this day, the ride largely remains the same as it did back when it first thrilled passengers with its unusual design.
Unlike a typical Ferris wheel, only eight of the Wonder Wheel's cars remain stationary; 16 others swing on rails. Its inventor, a little-known Romanian-born engineer named Charles Hermann, had wanted to combine the excitement of the early rollercoasters with that of the Ferris wheel.[vid size="large" align="left" videotype="brightcove" headline="How the Wonder Wheel's cars work" caption="Some cars swing; others do not." href="WonderWheelSwingingCars 2″ credit="Cristian Salazar" thumb="https://cdn.newsday.com/polopoly_fs/1.10695903.1438784341!/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/display_960/image.jpg" popout="no" showads="no" ]
Because of the design, riders can choose from two very different experiences of the Wheel.
In the white, stationary cars, passengers experience an almost meditative journey as the car slowly rises to the topmost arch where they can get a view of the expanse of Coney Island, the beach and Atlantic Ocean on the left, while on the right the skyscrapers of the Manhattan skyline come into focus. It's so pleasant a baby can ride it without alarm (there are no height restrictions).
Choose one of the red or blue swinging cars and the experience is more like a catch-your-breath thrill. As the car swings forward along the rails, it seems perilously fast, before dipping. "You feel like you are going to just fly off," said first-time rider Tyler Richards, 25, of Harlem, who admitted to being terrified of such rides.
An estimated 200,000 people take the ride each year, when the it is open from Palm Sunday to late October. The record for the most people riding in one day was set July 5, 1947 when 14,506 passengers were recorded, going only one rotation at a time. Nowadays it costs $7 a ride (or less with package discounts) and goes for two rotations.
Steve Vourderis is often standing less than 25 feet away whenever the Wheel is in operation, keeping an eye on the wheels of the swinging cars, or listening for the telltale screech of metal-on-metal that could mean something needs to be adjusted or replaced. This is how Vourderis, 53, spends his summers: in a nearly all-day, all-night vigilance that sometimes keeps him at the park until the very early morning hours. On weekends, he sometimes stays the night in a full-size RV parked just steps from the Wheel.
Such intense focus has taken a toll, he said at one point, half-joking that he might only have a couple more years left in him. After all, he has been working on the Wheel since he was a teenager, when his father bought it in the 1980s. "It's tough. It's tough on family life," he said. "I'm here all the time."
Vourderis, who co-owns Deno's Wonder Wheel Amusement Park with his brother Dennis, doesn't think his business or Coney Island would be the same without it. "The Wheel attracts the people," Vourderis said. "It's a centerpiece, a diamond in the center."
His brother, Dennis Vourderis, said people see a Ferris wheel moving and automatically are drawn to it. "It serves as a beacon for all the businesses in the area, not just ours. It signals that Coney Island is open."
Today Deno's Wonder Wheel Amusement Park stretches across two acres of prime Coney Island real estate, and is split between the kiddie park that Dennis Vourderis manages and the adult rides including the Wheel. In all, there are 21 rides, two arcades, two concession stands and two group games. It is the last family-owned amusement park in Coney Island. The only other amusement park, Luna Park, is owned and operated by Italian-based global ride manufacturer Zamperla. Other rides and concessions are independently owned.
Deno's has also become something of a living museum to Coney Island.
It is home to the oldest arcade machine, Grandma's Predictions, which has been telling fortunes since the 1920s; some of the earliest children's rides ever built by the canny inventor William F. Mangels, all of which continue to attract hordes of kids each summer; and remnants of the famed Astroland Amusement Park that once neighbored Deno's, such as the Scrambler ride. It also houses the Coney Island History Project.
It employs 100 people, 75 percent of whom are from the neighborhood.
Two generations of the Vourderis family continue to work there. Denos Vourderis, the patriarch, died in 1994. His wife, Lula, is living out her retirement.
Beside two of Steve's sons, his wife, Stacey, is often working on site as a "cleaning lady," as she puts it, but she also assists Steve whenever he needs help. The couple has been married 34 years, but she said she considers it a privilege to work there. Dennis Vourderis' son Denos, 29, works at the concession stand, helps hire staff and does maintenance. His brother, Timothy, 20, also helps out at the concession stand. He has two other sons, ages 24 and 27, who come on busy days to help out along with his wife.
Dennis Vourderis said the amusement park has allowed them to have a comfortable life and to be able to put their children through school. But it's also a commitment of 12 to 16 hours a day, six days a week. He even pitches in when needed to run rides or work in the sweet shop, the original concession stand his parents owned. They sell funnel cakes, churros, cotton candy, pretzels and other sweets.
"I just love to watch people dig into this stuff," he said one day this summer as the park hosted a group of hundreds of summer camp children. Wearing a white polo shirt, red apron, baseball cap and aviator glasses, he took special pride in handing out sweets to the children, and whipping up pillows of cotton candy.
The construction of the Wonder Wheel helped usher in an era of optimism that Coney Island could be restored to former glory after the traumatic destruction of the iconic Dreamland amusement park in a fire in 1911.
The wheel was built over two years by concessionaire Herman Garms, who built a forge on site. It was complete over two years, from 1918 to 1920. When he died in 1935, his son, Fred, took over. But by the 1980s, Freddy Garms was ready to part ways with it. He didn't have to go far to find a buyer: Denos D. Vourderis, the operator of a kiddie park sandwiched between the Wheel and the boardwalk. The match seemed meant to be.
Vourderis, a Greek-born mechanical whiz, had proposed to his wife Lula in front of the Wonder Wheel in 1948. "I told her you marry me I buy you the Wonder Wheel," he recalled for the Daily News in 1987. "I couldn't buy it because I had no money."
Vourderis worked as a hot dog vendor throughout the city before ultimately landing at Coney Island, where he was offered free space for a concession stand at what was then Ward's Kiddie Park in exchange for fixing up the antiquated rides. By 1976, Vourderis was helping to manage the kiddie park, and by 1981 the owner had sold it to him.
Garms had been impressed with Vourderis' work ethic at the kiddie park and his commitment to it at a time when the rest of Coney Island's amusement attractions were sinking into disrepair. By the early 1980s, like the rest of the city, the fortunes of the area had reached a low point, and revenues were so scarce that rides like the Wheel were no longer regularly maintained.
But throughout this period, Vourderis had invested in the upkeep of the kiddie park, making it one of the few successes of the time. Garms sold the Wheel to Vourderis, for $250,000. The Wheel's only operating instructions were on a hand-scrawled note on the back of a carton of cigarettes from Garms that included the helpful message, "Good Luck."
Anyone who is responsible for taking care of the Wheel has to climb to the axis at the heart of the machine to learn how it works.
The first time that Steve Vourderis went up, he recalled how Freddy Garms prepped him for the ascent with a shot of Chivas Regal. This was in 1983, and Vourderis was 19 years old. In a photo from that era taken of him standing astride the wheel, he is a lanky young man with tousled, dark brown hair and a trim mustache.
"I was nervous," Vourderis said. "I saw it as a challenge. Not one I wanted to back down from — but it was a challenge." He knew he was being groomed by his father Denos to take over the Wheel; he had spent his childhood growing up at the kiddie park, watching and helping his dad take care of the rides.
By the time Vourderis was standing at the axis halfway up the Wheel behind its neon sign that can be seen from miles away, he might have been shaking "a lot more" if it hadn't been for the Scotch. "I didn't understand it at all when I got up there. It was too windy. I was holding on for dear life," he said. If you looked up just a second and saw the Wheel rotating, you'd get dizzy. He recalled Garms asking him, "Junior, how are you doing up here?" By the time he got down, his legs were wobbly.
The Garms family stayed for about a month in the 1983 season, he said, teaching them how to run the wheel and how to maintain it.
By the next summer, Vourderis was overseeing maintenance of the Wheel with his father.
But it wasn't just a matter of fixing minor problems. Years of neglect had taken their toll, and the Wheel needed a complete overhaul. The family invested tens of thousands of dollars into repairing and refurbishing the Wheel over several years. Old photos of the Wheel's cars showed that they were rusting and weathered. They had to be rebuilt with new parts and refinished. The Wheel had to be refinished and repainted. After years spent maintaining the Wheel, Steve Vourderis wrote a proper manual for it and had it certified by a civil engineer.
Jim Futrell, the author of "Amusement Parks of New York," credits the family's restoration of the Wheel for the city designating it an official landmark in 1989.
But even today it requires year-round maintenance: There is no off-season for Vourderis and his crew, which includes his sons Denos (who goes by the initials "D.J.") and Teddy, as well as longtime workers who have also become lifelong friends.
"Now it's preventive," Steve Vourderis said. "We're fighting the elements. You're dealing with the salt water."
Salt water was among the biggest threats after Sandy.
According to D.J. Vourderis, Steve's son, the first thing they did after pumping the water from their drowned workshop was to pull the Wheel's cars out of the inundated storage area. The cars were cleaned, their bearings changed, he said. But anything electronic that had been submerged was destroyed.
Dozens of dumpsters would ultimately be filled with parts and electronics that were rendered useless by the storm. Dennis Vourderis, who at 56 manages operations for the entire park, said he lost track of the cost to the family when it got past half a million dollars.
"We had borrowed money to stay afloat," he said. They received financial assistance from National Grid and from the city's Small Business Services. But, ultimately, the family had to put up their own money. "We had no choice."
D.J. Vourderis said when it came to the Wheel, there was nothing to do but rely on the 1918 control system that had been replaced by the now-dead computer-controlled system in the 1990s.
"We hosed off that 1918 controller and got the salt out of that because it's a big block of copper," he said. "We wire brushed it, we scraped it. It was a lot of work."
Finally, they got the Wheel running again, relying on a hand crank from the original 1918 design; when power had been restored to the park, they found the antiquated control system also still worked.
At 34, D.J. Vourderis is the heir to the mechanical wizardry that his grandfather passed down to his father. He is lanky and tall with tousled brown hair. He sometimes rides his Harley-Davidson to work; he first climbed the Wheel without his father's permission at around 14 years of age. His wife is expecting their first child.
And after Sandy, D.J., who tinkers and repairs most of the electronics, stepped up.
Not only did he repair the 1990s controller that the floodwater had destroyed, he decided to go a step further and build a new one that would give them a lot more control over the Wheel. He built a new computer server and raised it two feet above the flood line from Sandy. A longtime "Star Trek" fan, he added speed control buttons on the new control panel that go from Warp 1 to Warp 9. Though having finer speed control doesn't affect the experience of the ride, it provides a way to get people down faster in an emergency.
[vid size="large" align="left" videotype="brightcove" headline="D.J. Vourderis on fixing the Wonder Wheel" caption="D.J. Vourderis explains how he fixed the Wonder Wheel's control system." href="WonderWheelDJ-2 2″ credit="Cristian Salazar" thumb="https://cdn.newsday.com/polopoly_fs/1.10695877.1438370637!/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/display_960/image.jpg" popout="no" showads="no" ]
On most summer days, D.J. Vourderis is at the controls of the Wonder Wheel. He spends hours on his feet. As passengers queue up in the two lines – one for swinging cars and the other for stationary cars – he steps forward and opens the door to let passengers on to the swinging cars. Another worker helps the passengers into the stationary cars. The doors are locked shut and then they are off on their ride. Coming down for the second rotation, Vourderis is listening to the Wheel.
"You have to listen to the motor to feel where the weight is," he said. "Everything tells you a little bit about the story."
As one of the swinging cars hits its last curb in its rotation, he leans backward with one arm and pulls on a lever — from the 1918 design –- to apply the brakes. It's the end of the ride for the passengers.
Vourderis, who went to drama school and even appeared in an Off-Broadway show, is courteous with the riders. "Here you go, guys," he says, letting in people who are queued up.
He also jokes with the customers. One passenger is a bit nervous after one rotation, and as her car passes by him, she yells out, "It's twice?" He responds, joking, "The button is stuck!" pointing at his control panel.
Later, when asked about how he sees the future and the potential that he may become the caretaker of the Wheel when his father retires, he isn't sure. But he wouldn't mind having normal hours. Now that he is going to be a father himself, he also thinks about missing time with his daughter.
What Vourderis knows for sure is that the Wheel is like a member of his own family. And for now it is up to them to keep the Wheel turning, so that it can keep thrilling the masses. "One time maybe it will be our time to go. Until then, we're there."

CJP forms larger bench to hear review petitions in Panama Leaks case
ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Chief Justice of Pakistan Saqib Nisar has formed a larger bench to hear the review petitions filed by the Sharif family against the Panama Leaks case.
Justice Asif Saeed Khosa will head the larger bench, while Justice Gulzar Ahmed, Justice Ejaz Afzal, Justice Azmat Saeed and Justice Ejazul will be its members.
Earlier, the three-member bench had sent the matter to the CJP, recommending the formation of a five-member bench.
The counsel for the Sharif family contended that the verdict of the five-member bench would remain intact even the three-member bench pronounces the judgment.
Justice Ijaz Afzal remarked that the three-member bench had pronounced the majority verdict.

You might think that it's not all that unusual to get a Yazoo beer at the Titans stadium. Not so. This is the first real shot we have gotten at selling our beer at Titans games. We did have two (2) taps on the club level several years ago, that did pretty well, but for the past few years the only local beer you could get was our beer, in bottles, at one place on the concourse.
Well, this year we worked out a deal with the concession company that runs the food and beverages at the stadium. We bought four roll-around concession carts with beer taps on them, and are now pouring our beer at four locations along the ground-level concourse. Look for the big Yazoo stainless carts, or ask someone with a white Yazoo cup where he got the beer. It's ONLY $9 for a 22 oz beer - yeah, a little high, but compare that to $8 for the same amount of Bud or Miller Lite, and it all of sudden looks like a tremendous deal!
As always, we really appreciate your support. If you are getting a beer at the stadium, please seek us out!

The Bleached lands are said to lie in the far north-west, beyond the Glass Wastes beholden to the savage Mazhurians, but no map can guide one there and many have sought it out, only to wander the Glass Wastes until they crumbled, bleeding and desiccated. The Bleached Lands can only be found by those that know how to seek it.
Weird and immutable are the Bleached Lands, an otherworldly stretch of grey rivers, white mangrove forest and deep black lakes, sapped of any colour and bathed in perpetual twilight. It is said that men who travel to the Bleached Lands are always in search of some revelation, but not many have the strength of spirit weather the answers they seek. Madness is a frequent occurence among travellers, who are looked upon with bemusement and at times contempt by the Bleached Men who call this otherwordly place home. These madmen are often kept as pets by the tribes and used for simple chores, though some will use them for altogether more darker purposes.
Visitors do not stay long in the Bleached Lands, for the voices on the wind whisper to them of strange and unnerving things. Those that do eventually lose all colour and become as as grey and colourless as the Bleached Men. Some will eventually join them.
There are no great cities within the Bleached Lands, and when asked, the Bleached Men say simply that they have no need for them. Nought but tiny villages and sunken, giant stone idols. Hunters, warriors and fishermen are the Bleached Men, each carrying the tale of his family and tribe on his skin in elaborately patterened scars. Intwined with this history are glyphs that confuse and frighten the ephermal predators that lurk in the swamps.
Other then secrets, some men, greedy Gal'Alorians most of all, travel to the Bleached Lands for trade. Brightly coloured fabrics and even jewels will eventually lose their lustre and take on the same monochromatic aspect of all things within the Bleached Lands, but the Bleached Men will pay well for a brightly coloured gemstone or dye, for the colour is like opium to them. In return, they offer colourless pearls, pale roots said to function as a potent aphrodisiac and rarely the strange ghostmetal that only the shamans can forge, said to be able to hurt incorporeal or ultratellurian creatures. Those that seek to take these things by force seldom succeed, and to be captured by the Bleached Men is a dire fate indeed.
Able Sorcerers are the Bleached Men, who go into frequent trances atop their mounds of stone and talk with their future selves and the spirits of their ancestors. Some become lost and when they return they are not themselves. Some go too far into the future and awaken screaming and mad. These are quickly killed by their peers before they say too much. The Bleached Men know well the lore of the Nine Souls of Man, the Thorned Path, the Mastery of the Angled Sword and the Laws of the Spaces Between. Sometimes these Sorcerers will rally the tribes and wage wars against their peers but nothing ever seems to change as a result. The Bleached Lands cannot truly be changed.
The bane of the Bleached Men is the Io-Rach. Incorporeal and invisible, it steals the substance of men to become tangible so it may reproduce. Visitors are quickly drained of their colour and become transparent until they vanish from the world completely. The Bleached Men have some innate resistance to the process, but they are not immune.
(HD 4, MV unarmoured man (flight), AC (as chain) AT 1, Dam: 1 level. Spec: Naturally invisible and incorporeal. Each level taken means 1 HD of the creature becomes corporeal and vulnerable. HD remain vulnerable for 1 turn. )
From their ghost-flesh, the Bleached Men make potent ectoplasmic totems, and the flesh of the Io-rach is coveted by their Sorcerers for all manner of strange and unspeakable sorceries.
In the darkness between the Trees, amidst great stone heads carved by unknown hands, in the heart of the Bleached Lands, one may find another threat, far greater then the Io-rach. Spirit-speakers whisper of the Ri-al-Hadûn, or Greatest of Thieves. It appears as one of its former victims, for even its shape must be stolen. A vile gnostic predator, it overcomes its prey with tricks, enchantments and charm, before it moves in for the kill. Its very touch steals the memories of men, leaving them husks, which it skins and feeds to the maggots. So complete is this theft that the Ri-al-Hadûn can become the very person it killed, and there are tales of the Ri-al-Hadûn travelling far beyond the Darkness Between the Trees into the Bleached Lands and living amidst the family of its victim for decades, none the wiser, until it devoured them all during a coming of Age ritual. The Ri-al-Hadûn cannot help but kill, but the rest of its activities do not vary greatly from what its many victims would have done. Many are melancholy or guilt-ridden, and most are quite knowledgable. (about 8-12 HD depending on age).
In the very heart of the bleached lands, beyond the darkness between the trees and the maddening odyssey across the whispering plains and the Lake That Must Be Fed lies the crater that holds the cause of the Bleached Lands, the mighty Spear of Atun. A weapon of god-like potency, scattered during the Calamity, it landed in the heart of what would become the Bleached Lands. Its edge is so thin it can cut space itself, and no creature is protected from its touch, not even a god. To wield such a device without protection or knowledge is to invite certain doom upon the wielder, and those who would attempt this feat will be dead before the next sunrise, souls scoured under its gnostic radiances.
The Spear is kept by the Ruby Emperor, A horror so unspeakable the Bleached Men will kill any man who mentions it, for fear of attracting its attention. Said to be the unwanted offpsring of the Dead Gods, the father of all Io-rach and the master of the Lake that Must Be Fed, it alone is Bright Red in a land bleached of all colour. Behind its pale smiling mask of bone it laughs with nine lamprey mouths and thirty eyes like onyx. Its very presence diminishes one until its adversaries are literally nothing, sapped of strength and willpower. Its caress is agony to the brave, and those that feel even hint of fear dissolve at a touch. Many Sorcerers have sought out the Ruby Emperor, and now their hides have been fashioned into its robe.

In Asbury Park's Saturday immigration rally of some 500 people the attendees were asked to raise their hands if their grandparents or next if their parents were immigrants, with many raising their hands. When asked if they themselves were immigrants very few hands were raised. Some may perceive Asbury Park as a bastion of middle and upper class whites, but 30% are Hispanics.
It's no surprise that few hands were raised as fear abounds among many – Dreamers, those undocumented or with expiring visas. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents (ICE) are like cockroaches and can appear anywhere and anytime, and swoop down to arrest a parent taking a child to school, quickly deporting the parent and leaving the child in desperation. As Rory of Guatemala explained, "We are fearful, nobody is safe."
Mayor John Moor addressed the audience saying about Trump, "Have you no sense of decency sir?" Congressional District Representative Frank Pallone spoke about what Congress is doing to assure that families are re-united, and he received a loud applause when he said, "We must end private prisons." Casa Freehold in Monmouth County, a more compassionate organization currently hosts five immigrants seeking asylum of which one was recently re-united with the two children and another who is pregnant. The district legislators were stuck in Trenton cooling their heels while higher powers argued over the budget.
Trump is under court order to reunite families quickly, but his administration has been caught without a sound plan. In some cases officials are uncertain as to the location of certain kids. As Pallone said, "Trump may have stopped separation, but many are not yet reunited."
Trump's next response after supposedly reuniting parents and children is to keep them incarcerated together which can take as long as a year until their refugee case is resolved – a policy which might be overruled by a judge. Obama's approach was to release them with a date to return to court. Dayar Mejia-Reyes read poem in Spanish, "Although we are all different, we are all part of the human family." She urged everyone to register and to vote.
AG Sessions has stated that refugees claiming they are escaping violence should not be a cause for granting them refugee status. During Obama's administration the primary problem was with young men crossing the border to seek jobs. Today it is whole families leaving Central American countries over violence from gangs, drug dealers and their repressive governments.
So fearful are they that they come in entire families. Hispanics are well known to be very family-oriented. They risk a one or two month dangerous trek with their kids to reach safety only to have their children wrenched from their arms and sent thousands of miles away to unknown locations. Rory of Asbury Park, formerly from Guatemala explains, "So many die in the journey through Mexico. Here we are all immigrants. It's horrible."
Attendees were given a yellow bracelet for their left hand – one which ICE uses to denote their status as a "detained illegal immigrant." When I left for a late lunch there were many in the restaurant still wearing the bracelet.
Kristine who lives nearby spoke about her Italian immigrant grandparents who had no visa to come here but got on a boat, arrived at Ellis Island with no money, no high school education, but excited to work hard in a factory job. She said "I would not be here today if Trump's polices were in force then."
One couple, Dana and Nancy Yurcisin, with diverse ancestors including from Ukraine, took a broad view: "It's our job to build back what Trump is tearing down. You can't be silent. That's being complicit." The slogan "Help not handcuffs" well summarizes what Trump is not providing, but what is most needed in this crisis.

Welcome to 2013. The new year brings with it the refreshing sense of a clean slate. Tabula rasa. Raise a glass for the excitement ahead.
But then we are hit by the realization that January 1 looks a whole lot like December 31 – just add champagne and a ball dropping in Times Square.
Another year is upon us, and as always, yesterday's rhubarb is tomorrow's humor. An humor is always plentiful. Sometimes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Here is Episode 57 of the Rhubarb Report.
1. It is college football bowl season – which means we have a lot of games that, for all intents and purposes, mean absolutely nothing and are played in empty stadiums. Yawn.
The University of Texas was invited to one of those games: the Valero Alamo Bowl in San Antonio against the Oregon State Beavers. I can't say that having a beaver as a mascot strikes fear into anyone but maybe a Canadian lumberjack. With that said, their football team has been pretty good this season.
The first half of this game was beyond boring. Fortunately, the second half made up for it. The Longhorns took the lead for the first time with just over 2:00 left in the game, and they left San Antonio as 31 - 27 winners. Their season record was one win better than last year. That doesn't exactly provoke a big vote of confidence for Mack Brown. A bowl win will silence (or at least muffle) the boo-birds in Austin for at least a few weeks.
2. Speaking of boo-birds in the Longhorn Nation, let's talk about quarterbacks born and raised in Texas. There are currently 9 Texas quarterbacks starting in the NFL: Drew Brees, Nick Foles, Christian Ponder, Matthew Stafford, John Skelton, Andy Dalton, Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, and Ryan Tannehill.
Next question: how many went to the University of Texas? Not one of them. Doesn't every Texas high school football player grow up aspiring to play for the Horns? Westlake High School is 8.5 miles (driving, not as the crow flies) from the front door of DKR Texas Memorial Stadium. Yet history shows that Brees ended up at Purdue, and Foles at Arizona. Hunh?
Oh, and ponder this: the last two Heisman Trophy winners – Texas quarterbacks, I might add - played at Baylor (100 miles from Austin) and Texas A&M (107 miles from Austin). The boo-birds should nibble on that one for years to come.
3. Finally, this not-so-uncommon news just in: John Boehner cried. Again. He was narrowly re-elected as Speaker of the House by 28 votes. The Republican Party holds 233 seats, yet Boehner only collected 220 votes. I wouldn't call that a vote of confidence.
And on this day in 1999, former professional wrestler Jesse "The Body" Ventura was sworn in as governor of Minnesota. He was a Reform Party candidate who defeated the Democratic and Republican candidates in the election. If that isn't a fine example of living the American dream, I don't know what is. WWF wrestler makes good, becomes Governor – details at 11. Truth, my friends, is stranger than fiction. Again.

Are you looking for the best Ruger Mini 14 scope mount or ring? Are you looking for something that will best support your scope of choice? If you answered yes to both of these questions, you're in the right place. We'll be taking a look at seven of the best scope mounts and rings that we consider to be the best options on the market. These are in our opinion way better than any low quality, cheap mounts and rings that may be easy to break after some use. Whether you're looking for a straightforward mount or something as reliable as scope rings, you'll find something that will be a better fit for your Ruger Mini 14 scopes. Plus, you can be able to find one if you're even on a budget. With that in mind, let's unveil our list so you know what to choose from.
Best Ruger Mini 14 Scope Mounts And Rings
B Square - Ruger Mini-14 Scope Mount
First on the list, we'll be taking a look at the B Square Ruger Mini-14 Scope Mount. If you have a scope that usually fits easily on Weaver rails, then you'll love having this scope mount attached to your rifle. That's because the rings included on the mount will be large enough to fit 1-inch Weaver scopes. This also includes brass plate screws to ensure that the scope itself is secured nice and tight. It will stay in place and won't be loose or wobbly. If you want a scope mount that will do its job in holding a scope in place, then the B-Square mount could do you some good.
The mount is made from high-quality aluminum, making it a very durable unit that will be yours to own if you so choose. One of the advantages of having this scope mount is that it can handle most one-inch scopes. Your accuracy won't be dead on without a good scope. You can expect this to help your scope hold zero throughout every shot your fire on your rifle. As for disadvantages, this may not fit almost every Mini 14 rifle in existence. This may not be an ideal scope mount for any of the older Ruger Mini-14 builds. If you have a more modern build, this may not be much of an issue.
If you're looking for a sturdy, top quality scope mount for your Ruger Mini 14, the B Square might be something you can count on to get the job done.
Ultimak Mini-14 Scope Mount
Next, we'll be taking a look at the Mini 14 Scope Mount by Ultimak. This is a straightforward type of scope mount that has a Picatinny rail. The rail will be much more convenient for you if you have a scope that will easily fit. This has low profile clamps that you can use to ensure that it stays in place and will do a good job supporting your favorite scope or optic. As an added bonus, you won't have to use an additional cheekplate in order to use this. This is easy to install on your rifle and will take minutes, not hours or days. In other words, you won't need to be an expert level gunsmith to install this at all. The mount is made from durable 6065-T6 aluminum, making it a mount that is able to resist any kind of shock that could throw off the zero of any scope. If you're tired of dealing with flimsy scope mounts that will mess up your scope's settings, you know it's time for an upgrade. What better way to upgrade your rifle to something that is more sturdy and easier to install than the Ultimak Mini-14 Scope Mount. One of the major advantages that you'll enjoy with this scope mount is the instant improvement in accuracy. No matter what scope you use, it's always great to see your rifle go from not so accurate to consistently accurate in a matter of minutes. If you hold this to a high standard, it all starts with finding the right kind of scope mount.
One con that we'll point out isn't much of an issue, but one reviewer said that the name engraved on the scope mount was more of a personal preference issue. But other than that, nothing disadvantageous.
GG&G Inc. Ruger Mini-14 Side Mount
Now, we'll be turning our attention to the GG&G Inc. Ruger Mini-14 Side Mount. If you're looking for a scope mount for your Ruger Mini 14 that is best used for any application or purpose, then you might want to give the GG&G brand a closer look. This has an attachment plate that is located on the side, making it easy to attach on the side of your rifle. The rail is measured at just a little over five inches in length. So you have plenty of ample room for any scope that you want to attach to this puppy. Red dot optic or a nice hunting scope, it doesn't matter at all. This base is solid and rugged all thanks to the high-quality material it's constructed with. Once you install this, your accuracy will be increased quite dramatically. If that's something that doesn't impress you, there's no telling what else will. This mount is adjustable so it will accommodate any barrel or receiver set up. No more having to deal with any guesswork. If you want to put it somewhere that is more comfortable for you, then this mount will have the ability.
One of the major advantages of this side mount is that it will help your scope hold zero even after 100+ rounds. Don't be surprised if it has the ability to stay in place after you fire another hundred or even 1000 rounds. Plus, it can withstand so much abuse and recoil as well. No matter how much of a heavy hitter your Ruger Mini-14 is, this will stand the test. One minor disadvantage will point is something that is a "few and far between occurrence". It has to do with the screw threads being stripped. Other than that, there are no major disadvantages to speak of. But if you're looking for a scope mount that will last you years or probably decades, the GG&G brand Ruger Mini 14 Side Mount might be the long-term solution you can invest in.
Ruger Mini-14 Sport Scope Mount
Next up, we'll be taking a look at the Mini 14 Sport Scope Mount. If you're looking for something that's easy to install and highly durable, your search probably will end here. This mount is made from high-quality aircraft aluminum. This type of aluminum is designed to handle all kinds of abuse. Just throw it as hard as you can on a hard surface. It won't break at all. At the same time, it's designed to handle all kinds of recoil and the shock that is produced from it. And that's good news for you when all you want to do is make sure that your scope maintains zero after you've fired so many shots. A hundred rounds, five hundred rounds or more it won't even matter. In order to install this, you'll need to easily replace the bolt stop cover plate. You'll also have a single knob that you can use to ensure that the scope or optic you choose will easily be attached to your rifle in no time. This a Picatinny-style rail mount that will probably be best used if you have a scope that is more or so compatible with this kind of rail. Before purchasing this mount, be sure that your scope has the right measurements to ensure a perfect, struggle-free fit.
One of the major advantages of this mount is that it has the ability to not only accept Picatinny compatible scopes and optics, but it does also has the ability to accept Weaver rail compatible optics as well. So this takes out a whole lot of guesswork to determine whether or not your scope or optic of choice can fit. It's the versatility that makes this even more impressive. However, the major disadvantage of this is that it may not have the ability to fit with older Ruger Mini 14 rifles. So if you have a more modernized version, it may not be an issue.
On top of all the excellent features that this scope mount has, this is also one of the more affordable scope mounts on the market. If you're on a budget, then you're walking away with quite a steal. Highly durable, extremely versatile, and will be able to support almost any scope or optic of your choice. Not bad for something that is considered a "budget" scope mount.
GG&G Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle Optics Mounts
Now, we'll be taking a look at the Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle Optics Mount from the GG&G brand. This mount is made from high-quality aluminum that is super durable and has the ability to handle all kinds of recoil and shock. Which means that whatever scope that you add onto the mount, it will stay at zero even after you've fired so many rounds. These come in two different designs. One of them is a Picatinny rail-style design and the other is a flat design. No matter which one you choose, they serve the purpose of accommodating almost any scope or optic that you'll want to use for your Ruger Mini-14 rifle. This is measured at six inches in length, which allows for versatility and the ability to adjust the position of the scope to whatever is comfortable for you. At the same time, you can set it to a position that depends upon the scope's eye relief. If your scope has a good deal of eye relief, you'll probably know exactly where to position it. Eye relief is always a good thing to have, especially when you're able to quickly acquire your target of choice with both eyes rather than look closely at the scope and risk some kind of eye injury when you're rifle goes off.
The flat model or the red-dot model is best fit for many red dot scopes and optics from brands like Trijicon, JP Enterprises, Burris, and a host of other brands. The Picatinny mount will fit most scopes that are mostly compatible with this kind of rail. So your major disadvantage is that if you have an optic or a scope that is Weaver rail compatible, it won't fit on this type of mount at all. So you either find a scope mount that accommodates Weaver scopes and optics or find something that will fit Picatinny rails.
One of the major pros of this scope mount is that it is easy to install. Which means you won't have to rely on a professional gunsmith, nor do you need gunsmithing skills of your own. This is a drop-in scope mount that will take the right kind of tools and minutes to install. One con to point out is some scopes may sit too far forward, even if it's attached to the rear end of the mount itself. Other than that, most scopes will mostly benefit from something like the GG&G Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle Optics Mount.
SightX 4x20 mm Scope with Side Mount for Ruger Mini 14
Yes, it includes a scope. But it also does include a pretty solid mount as well. If you want something that will allow you the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, the SightX might just be exactly what you're looking for. This scope has a maximum magnification setting of 4x so you'll have the ability to look at your targets up close and make a precise, accurate shot no matter what the purpose is. This has an objective of right around 20mm, so the field of view is quite decent. The reticle has seven different brightness settings that will work in almost any low-light setting. Whether it's dawn or dusk, you'll be able to make your target and recognize it. That will almost give you an advantage in bagging the big game before the sun comes up or down. In fact, that's when most hunters usually score their bag limit.
The mount itself is a side mount made from high-quality metal material. This helps hold the scope in place. All you have to do is install it on your rifle in a matter of minutes and your good to go. Some of the pros you'll enjoy is that the scope has a clear image. So every time you look through it, you have a clear shot every time. There is no fogging or anything that will obstruct the view at all. This scope is also calibrated to reach targets to 500 yards out. So if you're looking for something that will help you hit your targets that far out, this will be your go-to scope mount.
As for disadvantages, the scope's objective might be a bit on the small side. The field of view won't be as large as some other scopes. But consider it something that comes with the territory. However, if you're looking for the complete package that consists of a scope and a mount, the SightX could be your best option.
Leupold Rifleman Aluminum Detachable Rings
Onto our final scope mount, we'll be taking a look at the Leupold Rifleman Aluminum Detachable Rings. These scope rings are best fit for most Ruger scopes, especially scopes that are best for the Ruger Mini 14 rifle. The Leupold brand has a reputation for making the best quality accessories and products for their customers. And this is no different from anything else they make. The rings are made from high-quality aircraft grade aluminum, making them very durable and impervious to all kinds of abuse. At the same time, it has the ability to stand up to all kinds of recoil that your Ruger Mini 14 tends to produce. You'll get the longstanding reliability of a rifle ring mount plus the protection that your scope deserves. Never will it be thrown off course or offset because of recoil that might be powerful enough for a scope to stop holding zero. If you're also looking for something that is affordable in price, these scope rings might be something that you should consider. And for the price it's going for, it will feel like you're stealing. And it's all because you're getting something that's high in quality and does a pretty darn good job.
Of course, the main advantage of these scope rings is that they have the potential to last you years or even decades. This aircraft grade aluminum is proven to be one of the toughest. Leupold is confident that this stuff is so high-quality that it's backed by a lifetime warranty. However, one major disadvantage that we can point out is that these rings may not be large enough for most scopes compatible with the Ruger Mini 14 rifles. So it's important to find a scope that will fit these rings perfectly. More specifically, these ring mounts will accommodate one-inch scopes. Before purchasing these, measure your scope. Alternatively, you can invest in a one-inch scope to accommodate these mounts.
Aspects To Consider While Looking For A Ruger Mini 14 Scope Mount Or Ring
As you're looking for a scope mount or ring, it is always key to consider a few aspects that may drive you to make a final purchasing decision. It's a lot better to do some deep digging first so you know what to expect from a great quality mount. Plus, this will prevent you from making the unwise decision of choosing the first scope mount or ring set that you see on the shelf or online. To save you the time, money, and potential disappointment of purchasing bad quality mounts or rings, here's what you need to look out for:
Scope Mount Or Scope Ring?
This choice may be based on a personal need or preference. But one or the other will be beneficial. If you're looking for a scope mount, you'll want something that is straightforward and easy to install. Meaning they are not complex to adjust, especially when you're trying to set the scope to the right position due to the eye relief. Scope rings, however, have been around for a long period of time. They are still reliable just as they were in the previous century. They are easy to install and can be placed in just about any position to help accommodate a scope's eye relief. Both are made from high-quality materials. So either way, you get something of excellent quality.
If you're a budget shopper, then there's a good chance that price will be a deciding factor. As a heads up, you'll also want to consider the other aspects as well (like quality). Don't purchase scope mounts and rings just because it's cheap. Find the best quality you can afford. If you want something high quality and affordable, start off by looking at the scope rings. If none of them are of any use, then consider some of the scope mounts (like the ones listed above).
Of course, since we talk about quality almost to the point of ad nauseum, it should be noted that the material will play a major role. Most manufacturers will often rely on high-quality aluminum or steel as a material that will have the ability to take on all kinds of abuse. It also has the ability to withstand multiple amounts of recoil plus the shock that is originated from it. The material is also strong enough to protect your scopes settings. This means that most scopes will still be able to hold zero even after you've fired a hundred or more shots.
Finding the best Ruger Mini 14 scope mount or ring might be easy for you if you know what to look for. If you're looking for the best scope mount or ring that can accommodate your scope, one of these seven could be yours. Whether it's a mount or a ring set, you can be sure that you will get the best reliability for your scope either way. Install one or the other along with an optic or scope of your choice and prepare to be amazed by the sudden increase of accuracy your rifle will have.
