SACRAMENTO (AP) — California's health insurance exchange said Monday that it has a backlog of 25,000 paper applications that must be processed by Dec. 23 for the applicants to get health insurance starting in the new year, a daunting process that threatens to leave some people who applied for insurance weeks ago without coverage.
The applications came from individuals, insurance agents and health exchange agents who were unable to access the online portal in the first few days after the exchange opened on Oct. 1, said Roy Kennedy, a spokesman for Covered California, the agency that runs the health exchange. He said the agency has been working to process the applications since then.
"We've added additional staff and redirected existing staff to input all the paper applications, so we believe that everyone who properly filled out the application, they will have health insurance on Jan. 1," Kennedy said.
But for people who enrolled through an insurance agent, those workers are only entering basic information such as the applicants' names and the names of the insurance agents, said Neil Crosby, a spokesman for the California Association of Health Underwriters. He said agents are now being alerted to check the Covered California site several times a day to see whether any of their clients' applications need to be added.
He said the association only learned of the backlog last week.
"My guess is a lot of the people who submitted their applications, if not the majority of them, thought that they were enrolled. They're probably booking appointments to get care," Crosby said. "And with a backlog of 25,000 applications, I'm not sure, even if there were thousands of people inputting information, if it could all be done in time to get these people coverage for the Jan. 1 date."
Entering the data takes about 45 minutes per application, Kennedy said.
After that, insurance companies must be notified that their plans have been selected, bill the customers and receive payment by Jan. 1 for coverage to start in the new year, a span that includes Christmas Day, a federal and state holiday.

12 Days of Edible Gifts: Homemade Grenadine
With its bright red color, there is a common misconception that grenadine, the syrup used to flavor many cocktails, is made with cherries. The thick, sweet liquid is actually made with pomegranate juice (the word grenadine is derived from the French word for pomegranate, grenade).
When I realized that the sweetener was very simple to make, I decided to whip up a batch and present it to my sister, who enjoys the occasional "cherry" coke. Homemade grenadine is a great hostess gift, especially for someone who is into mixing cocktails or who has a penchant for Shirley Temples. To look at the incredibly easy recipe, read more.
From Food & Wine Cocktails 2008 by Kate Krader and Jim Meehan
- 1 quart pomegranate juice
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/8 teaspoon orange-flower water
- In a medium saucepan, simmer the pomegranate juice over moderate heat until reduced by half (the total volume should be 2 cups).
- Add the sugar and the orange-flower water, and stir until dissolved.
- Let cool, transfer to an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.

This allows for enhanced muscular endurance and therefore promotes a faster rate of recovery. Trenbolone acetate is capable of inhibiting glucocorticoids such as cortisol. Where is the safest place to inject steroids? Anabolic steroids should only be injected into a muscle, never a vein. The largest muscles (buttock, hip and thigh) are the best and safest places to inject. Remember to rotate your injection sites to avoid tissue damage in one area.
Which is the most dangerous site for intramuscular injection? Dorsogluteal muscles of the buttocks. However, due to the potential for injury to the sciatic nerve, the ventrogluteal is most often used now. This site is difficult to use for self-injection and not recommended. You shouldn't use an injection site that has evidence of infection or injury. What is Primobolan good for? Metenolone Enanthate, or Methenolone Enanthate, sold under the brand names Primobolan Depot and Nibal Injection, is an Androgen and Anabolic Steroid (AAS) medication which is used mainly in the treatment of anaemia due to bone marrow failure.

What steroids do bodybuilders use? Bodybuilders use an average of two different steroids including Deca Durabolin, Anavar, Testosterone, Dianabol, Equipoise, and Winstrol. The principal reason bodybuilders use steroids is the perception that these drugs are an important factor in winning competitions. What does Deca Durabolin do?

Deca-Durabolin can be used to increase lean body mass in the case of negative nitrogen balance. What are the 2 main types of steroids? The two main types are corticosteroids and anabolic-androgenic steroids (or anabolics for short).

Methylprednisolone may also be used with other medications in hormone disorders. What happens when you stop taking prednisone? When you stop taking prednisone, your body needs time to readjust its cortisol production. If you stop taking prednisone suddenly, your body can't make enough cortisol right away to compensate. This can cause a condition called prednisone withdrawal.

In general, the dosage is 50 - 400 mg injected into your muscle every 2 - 4 weeks. Can you inject in the same spot? Injecting in the same place much of the time can cause hard lumps or extra fat deposits to develop.

Is it the Cold War in here, or is it just me?
There's another thing that even someone without a top-secret clearance and a doctorate in air warfare can understand, too. The Kremlin doesn't have five tank armies and supporting frontal aviation in East Germany any more. Vladimir Putin cannot, as Gorbachev and his predecessors could, give an order and expect to seize everything up to the French border in a sudden armoured blitzkrieg. (Reasonably enough suspecting that there would be no nuclear response until Soviet forces entered France.)
This means that the only credible scenario in which Western forces would have a serious conventional fight with Russian ones is gone. A non-nuclear clash with Russia - a chance for western forces to tangle with Flankers and Russian missiles without everyone's home cities being incinerated - is now very hard to imagine indeed.
One might very well suspect back in Cold War times that Paris and London wouldn't let the nuclear genie out of the bottle just to preserve Germany and Belgium from communism. Thus one might very reasonably worry that the old Soviet Union might slip its enormous East German tank army off the leash, and seek an answer short of armageddon.
Nobody today, however, really thinks that NATO is going to put a "forward defence" tank army and air support into Estonia or Georgia or the Ukraine. Russia is still with us, but the Cold War is genuinely over - and with it much of the justification for super-advanced Western conventional warfare tech, able to whip six times its weight in Russian equivalents easily without needing to go nuclear.
As for the Asian powers that Dr Kopp fears so much, China is nuclear armed too - and nowadays, economically joined at the hip to the West. Is China really going to invade Taiwan out of hand, knowing that this would paralyse its lucrative worldwide brassiere sales? If forced to defend Taiwan, is the US really going to mount pinprick bombing attacks on gigantic mainland China, where Steve Jobs' iPod factory - and a small but working force of nuclear ICBMs - are to be found? The US wouldn't do that for Korea back in the old days, after all - and that was before major US-China trade and Chinese ICBMs.
Is Australia going to attack China when America won't? Not unless Australia goes corporately insane.
So we can forget about sky-blackening fleets of Flankers and SA-20s, operated by forces at least in the same competence league as those of the West. We are talking - at the outside - about Syria or Iran or North Korea. Just how appropriate Western air raids are against any of these countries is open to question, but there isn't any doubt that air forces on the level of Israel have a decent chance of mounting successful ones (successful in the sense of weapons on target, at least) against such powers.
Third-rate nations using second-rate Russian kit, without any massive weight of numbers on their side, simply don't call for a massive (and massively expensive) tech edge. The Israelis - with all the access that Dr Kopp lacks to classified information, indeed by many accounts with more access than the US would voluntarily choose to give them - consider that their existing planes, supplemented by F-35s, will be adequate to meet this sort of foe. Frankly their judgement seems more valuable in this matter.

Date with a Comet
Find out about NASA's Stardust NExT mission, its goals and its Valentine's Day 2011 rendezvous with comet Tempel 1.
Transcript:Stardust-NExT is a mission to reuse the Stardust spacecraft to further the exploration of comet Tempel 1.
Tempel 1 was the target of Deep Impact. Deep Impact discovered that this is a most interesting comet. We want to see more of the surface and we also want to see what changes have occurred since Deep Impact was there five years ago.
The primary purpose is to observe how the comet has changed; how the nucleus has changed, to compare to what it was like back in 2005 with the previous pass near the sun. We call them perihelion passes.
We also would want to extend the mapping and the observation of the nucleus to see new areas of the nucleus that we haven't seen before. So that it would help complete the mapping of the nucleus of this comet.
And then, if possible,we would like to be able to image the crater that was left behind.
The key challenges for an extended mission like this are one, dealing with the age of the spacecraft. The spacecraft is almost 12 years old. Very little fuel is left; we've used most of it already.
And then the third challenge, for a comet mission, is the navigation. One of the navigation challenges with getting close to a comet is predicting its trajectory. We know that, as they get close to the sun, comets generate a lot of activity. The jets, the outbursts, all of those change the trajectory somewhat of the comet. We have a navigation camera and we photograph where the comet is on approach, and then we take that information, turn it into trajectory corrections, to put us in the right place at the right time.
One of the challenges of designing a spacecraft to go to a comet is, how do you protect it? There's a coma that goes out in front of the comet. And that coma contains particles that could be large. We're flying by at a little over ten kilometers per second. That's somewhat on the order of 25,000 miles per hour. It doesn't take much of a particle to cause damage.
The Stardust spacecraft is a very unique spacecraft. It was built for a comet flyby. So, it was built to fly close to a comet. And because of that, it has some very robust shields on the front of the spacecraft that will be able to stop a centimeter-sized particle traveling six kilometers per second and not damage the spacecraft.
These are exciting things. They're all different. Every time we go near one we find something new, and the opportunity for discovery is absolutely momentous.

It is well known that the sum of the reciprocal of prime numbers is $+\infty$. This proves that there infinitely many prime numbers. On the other hand it is also known that the series of the reciprocal of twin prime numbers converges, so nothing can be said about the finiteness of the set of twin prime numbers. This is indeed an open problem. A similar open problem is the existence of infinitely many perfect numbers. So this is the question:
let $\mathcal{Pe}$ be the set of perfect numbers. What is known about the series $$ \sum_{n \in \mathcal{Pe}} \frac{1}{n} $$
This is just curiosity, and could be a trivial question. Note that if there are no odd perfect numbers (as it seems to be the case), the series converges. Indeed any $n$ perfect is of the form $2^{p-1}(2^p-1)$.

"This is about being real. Straight up. We believe in what's just, what's right, what's real..." – Shunda K of YO! MAJESTY
When YO! MAJESTY's self promoted Yo EP surfaced in 2006, everyone who heard it couldn't help raising an eyebrow along with a fist. With a quickness, the liberating chant of "fuck dat shit" – echoed in the standout track "Club Action" – spread throughout the world as listeners began to wonder, "Just who the hell are these girls and what the hell is their deal?" As the story got out and the group's music and reputation spread, the curiosity only deepened. The two ladies straightening this amalgam of hip hop, hard rock, gospel, electronica and whatever the hell Parliament was, are Shunda K and Jwl. B, motivating listeners to confront their personal concept of reality from festival stages, Brooklyn loft parties and exclusive rooftop soirees "dripping with billionaires" where the newly initiated are left squirming on the floor. As the group's outspoken Shunda K states in an impromptu interaction with a fan on YouTube, "Ain't nobody doing it like YO! MAJESTY. There's no competition."
Much was made of YO! MAJESTY's 2007 shows at the South by Southwest music conference where the swampy, humid air of their hometown of Tampa seemed to follow them, and where Jwl. B was moved to toplessness during most of her performances. Jwl. explained away this historic occurrence in the pages of the New York Times stating "...your boy 50 Cent does his show with his shirt off. Why can't I? God made me who I am, and I'm comfortable in it. I want people to know you don't have to look glamorous to be an inspiration." "Fuck him," Shunda K defiantly responded to a similar comment about 50 in URB Magazine. "This ain't no fairytale shit." AMEN.
In a genre that has veered sharply away from Afrika Bambaataa's original message of peace, love and thought, YO! MAJESTY is an incomparable force that brings anyone with ears something to
breathe (and pant) a sigh of relief over. Hip hop has become overrun with lyrics that are anti-women, anti-gay, pro-bling and frankly, boring. It's all about them, and none about you – YO! MAJESTY ain't having it. Shunda and Jwl. both embody the best elements of Chuck and Flav as an overtly sexual Public Enemy that draws you in with flash and then sets about realigning your dome. The girls ain't wearing no clocks, but you best believe they know what time it is.
Now, with the upcoming release of YO! MAJESTY's much anticipated, never to be duplicated full-length, Futuristically Speaking… Never Be Afraid (out on the 29th of September 2008), listeners will find themselves with just as many questions as answers. Shocking lyrics, deep spirituality, matter of fact sexuality (these girls dig on girls), and an overriding commitment to consciousness elevation are brought together on a record that cannot be ignored, and regardless of perception, will be received as an instant classic. Prince's whole career has been built on cornerstones of God and sex, Marvin Gaye said both "What's Going On" and "Let's Get It On," and like these legends, the women of YO! MAJESTY have lent their intensely unique perspective to this conflicting conversation. And you know you're listening!
Signed to Domino Records in 2007, Shunda K and Jwl. B have spent the last year performing around the world and hooking up in the studio with the world's freshest producers including Basement Jaxx, Sunship, Radio Clit, Dee Kline, Germany's CLP, Switzerland's Mercedes and with what has become the YO! MAJESTY home team, Hard Feelings UK. The resulting album is not a mere debut – it's more of a debut philosophy, a debut mantra, a debut that takes hip hop back to the muthafucking people and rips, tears and destroys preconceived notions about all manner of topics, including those that have formed about Shunda K and Jwl. B themselves – two women that managed to fight through the bullshit to be here with you today when they are most needed.
On Futuristically Speaking… Never Be Afraid, what you hear is what you get. Shunda K and Jwl. B are as open about who they are and how they live as any performer really can be. The album's tracks reveal all of the frustration, fun, fright and frolic that pervade our lives, all while maintaining the utmost levels of integrity and character. Didja think you'd have a tough time relating to two black lesbians from the hood??? Hell nah.
On the album's startling opener "Fucked Up," Jwl. B summons demons deep commanding "I want some attention!!!" amidst a tale of destroying a partner's bathroom and car. Shunda takes the mic on "Night Riders" advising "I got ya covered, even if you ain't my colour, sister, brother," over a barely controlled beat that will be the essential soundtrack to many a goose bump. Things get into hyper drive on "Blame It On The Change," another of the album's plethora of potential singles, where Shunda K makes it plain stating, "All excuses were nailed to the cross anyway, pick yourself up, get on your way, life is what you make."
This leads us into the album's title track "Never Be Afraid," as clear an indicator of YO! MAJESTY's plans for humanity as there ever could be. YO! MAJESTY's respect for its listeners runs past 10 – "Don't stop, 'til we touch your soul," they sing on another of Futuristically Speaking… Never Be Afraid's standout tracks "Don't Let Go." Next up, Basement Jaxx busts through your area code as the needle is dropped on a massive club banger "Booty Clap" – don't just stand there lookin' like a fool – MOVE! "Bootylicious, very yummy, in my dictionary honey," raps Jwl. B at the very moment that every little girl who was concerned about not being so little looks in the mirror and loves what she sees.
The tender and subtle side of YO! MAJESTY is revealed over the course of the next couple of tracks – the melodic "Buy Love" with its refrain "I will always make sure that you smile, because you know that I'm close," and Shunda K's call to the people "Get Down On The Floor" which is as at ease at a cool couple's wedding reception as it is when the sun is coming up and shining through the windows of your favorite all-night hot spot.
"Hott" kicks up the dust again with another raw and sexual number from the YO! MAJESTY arsenal ("Have you ever had an orgasm when you're pissed?") "Leather Jacket" is the album's best example of YO! MAJESTY's sense of humuor. It's a tune for all women that have had to deal at one time or another with a dude who really thinks he's happening. Guess what? No, it's not working. Jwl. B is telling you so, brotha man!
"Grindin' and Shakin'" – ain't nothin' wrong with it! Do it, do it, do it! A stomping beat looking for a remix artist or 12, this one comes late in the game and adjusts your heart to just the right tempo. And ya don't stop as we do the slide right in a trio of numbers designed for baby making. "Party Hardy" contains a key Jwl. B hook that should pay rent on its space in your mind. The now-classic "Club Action" follows – a tune which surmises that when your existence is touched by the forces that try to keep you down, "fuck dat shit." "Take It Away" closes the record with a live mainstay that is a YO! MAJESTY theme song of sorts. The track captures the exact moment that any lady who just might fall in love or lust with Shunda K is going to when she spits,"…jook wit me, shook wit me, baby throw the line put da hook in me!"
The release of Futuristically Speaking… Never Be Afraid is preceded by the Kryptonite Pussy EP , which some just call the "dirty" EP, and consists of five tracks not available on the debut album. This special item is not to be missed as it contains many essential YO! MAJESTY cuts including the fan favorite title track where YO! MAJESTY becomes a next level, female 2 Live Crew ("Your punani better make that money!"), the off-colour sex anthem "Hey There Girl," the most blatant declaration of female on female sexual conquest ever put to tape ("I'm gon' make that pussy pop!"), Shunda K's political manifesto "Break Bread" ("Reparations break me off, but I'm still gon' talk!), one of Jwl. B's signature rave-ups, "Monkey" and "Hit It and Quit It," where a fun beat underlies the harshest safe sex song ever – a track so real and raw, it was decided to relegate it to this EP to keep from potentially appalling the audience during the album listening experience. This is a statement that must be heard and understood as YO! MAJESTY aims to wear out dance floors and old modes of thought alike.
Ready to forget everything you thought you knew? It's time. Now, stand up and never be afraid!

This is a guest post.
Emmy Noether was one of the most important mathematicians of the 20th Century. Noether's (first) theorem, which states that for every symmetry in a system there is a corresponding conservation law, is fundamental to modern theoretical physics, and she was one of the first to study topology algebraically.
Like many German Jewish academics, Noether left Germany after the Nazi party came into power, and spent much of her life in the US. Noether could not get a paid job for most of her life due to sexism. She worked for free at various universities while living frugally on an allowance paid to her by her family, and even later in life when she earned a salary she continued to live a frugal lifestyle. As a teacher she was known both for her insistence on strict mathematical rigour, and for her attentive and nurturing attitude towards her students. She was also known for being completely unconcerned about her appearance, sometimes lecturing in food-stained clothing, or with messy hair (not unlike her friend and colleague Albert Einstein.)

Packed with hundreds of music clips from the 1990s to the present, Buzz!: The Pop Quiz lets you show everyone that you know your Foo Fighters from your Fugees and your Shakira from your Shaggy.
Buzz!: The Pop Quiz offers a slick studio format that not only engages you in the action with its unique quiz show styled Buzzers that will have your hands ready to buzz in before your rivals, but also with flashing floor lighting, pulsing stage lights and a video wall - perfect to feature original album covers, artist pictures and music videos. If that wasn't enough, everyone's favourite titular host returns in the shape of the charismatic Buzz, who's smoother than ever, encouraging the big quiz atmosphere with his quick-fire wit and sharp attire.
Are you ready to test your knowledge of the world's biggest chart-toppers and one hit wonders? The venue is your own living room and the host is Buzz - so get into music mode and find out who is top of the charts in your family.
Buzz pops the questions
Buzz! games have been making intelligent people feel cool at parties since 2005. And now even your encyclopaedic knowledge of the P!nk back catalogue can win you kudos in Buzz!: The Pop Quiz.
Buzz himself is back with a brand new set, a new suit and the same terrific hairstyle. And naturally, he has a 5,000 strong stock of brand new questions to test your knowledge of music from the nineties to now.
But don't worry if American Idols and Union Jack dresses aren't your cup of tea - there are questions covering all musical genres, from Whitney to Britney, and The Cure to Blur.
Of course, it wouldn't be Buzz! without a vault of multimedia content to mix things up, and The Pop Quiz is crammed with music tracks, videos and images.
Buzz! The Pop Quiz is best enjoyed with company, so the game has plenty of multiplayer modes to keep you going long into the small hours. Up to eight players can split into teams or go it alone to see who knows most about pop.
Multiplayer games are customisable, so you can alter the length of the game, the difficulty and even which rounds you want to play. To make the most of all the multimedia content, there are brand new rounds, including Name That Band, where you must guess the artist from a sample of music, and Video Stars, where you answer an observation question on a famous music video or live performance.
If your friends are busy, there's a single player mode to keep you entertained. In this mode, you answer as many questions as you can to build up time for the final round. You can then use that time to score as many points as you can, answering questions to climb the ladder and deciding whether to bank the points or carry on for more.
All the popular characters from previous games in the series return, including Pirate, Wrestler and Napoleon. This time they get even more involved, dancing along to the music and responding to how well the player is doing. Seeing the Mime character dancing to The Venga Boys brings an unexpectedly warm feeling of glee.
Also making a return is Buzz's sultry scorekeeper Rose, though you can always choose to silence her with the big red button.
With its wealth of multimedia content, its wide range of musical genres and the series' trademark tongue-in-cheek parody of a TV quiz show, Buzz!: The Pop Quiz is sure to keep you and your friends entertained for hours.
Pop music is a broad and accessible topic that, combined with the series' simple interface and brilliant buzzers, produces a title that absolutely everyone will want to try.
Buzz! is one of the most entertaining game series on PlayStation 2 and this latest instalment is top of the pops.

Another ultrawideband (UWB) firm has ceased current operations, according to reports confirmed by the company. Tzero Technologies has entered what the company termed a "financial reorganization" despite receiving an infusion of $19 million in funds last March.
UWB is a high-speed, short-range technology that has failed to live up to its early potential. Tzero's focus was split between personal area networking and streaming high-definition video. For wireless HD, the company developed a system that could push 80 to 100Mbps of H.264-compressed video at distances of up to 100 feet, it said.
The promise of UWB was to provide an inexpensive, low-power, and non-interferring method of building small ecosystems of peripherals and mobile devices, mainly for use in home entertainment setups. UWB rates were promised to hit 480Mbps at up to 10 feet, with over 300Mbps of throughput. Throughput drops rapidly at greater removes, however.
Over the last few months, several UWB firms have gone out of business, including WiQuest and Focus Enhancements; another UWB firm oriented around software applications merged into Staccato; and Intel dropped its long-running internal efforts to create UWB chips. Alereon and Wisair remain in business, focused on networking rather than consumer electronics.
Despite demonstrating its video technology over the last two years, Tzero had only a single announced partnership, with Hitachi. Competing efforts for streaming video wirelessly from Amimon (using the 5GHz band) and SiBeam (using millimeter-wave signals at 60GHz) have collected many major consumer electronics partners, in contrast.
EE Times reported Thursday on the company halting its operations, although the firm isn't technically shutting down. The firm's spokesman provided an official statement that the firm would "support ongoing business," and that Tzero "looks forward to working with [its customers] in the future."

M249/M240 Belt Fed Open Bolt Specific Question
Hi Guys,
My first post so I hope I don't get flamed. I have been searching the web and youtube for answers but cant seem to find the exact answer.
I am working on a digital project that involves very specific and accurate weapon mechanics so in order to stay true I am trying to get every detail right.
Question is this: After the M249 or any other belt fed MG runs dry (end of belt, no more rounds) the reload is as follows (safety not considered, just mechanical): lift the cover, insert new belt, close cover now this is where I am confused, since it is an open bolt rifle does the bolt stay locked to the back after the last round? I presume it does, to aid cooling and prevent cook off. If it is to the back and the new belt is in does the cocking handle need to be manipulated or is the weapon read to fire? Meaning will the forward motion of the bolt strip the round off the belt or does the rearward motion of the cocking handle load the round.
Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, here you go, but please bear with me as I am going from memory and the last time I handled an M240 was 1978....And I'm too lazy to go find the right book,
First off, with an open bolt system, ANY open bolt system, odds are the bolt will be forward after it runs dry. And this is because of the user, not the design.
In an open bolt system, yes, the bolt will remain to the rear after the shot, if the trigger is released. IF the trigger is still held back on the last round, the bolt will go forward on an empty chamber. This is usually the first indication the shooter has that he is out of ammo. Full autos are like that.
Belt fed guns using the push through type links typically feed the belt on the rear ward movement of the bolt. The forward movement moves the feed pawl back to the "outside" position, so it snaps over the next round in the belt. The bolt going forward does this at the same time it strips the round out of the link, shoves it into the chamber and fires it.
The bolt coming back after firing extracts the fired case and ejects it, and advances the belt putting the next round into position to be fed into the chamber. The movement of the belt shoves out the empty link. If the trigger is held back, the cycle repeats automatically until the ammo runs out or the trigger is released.
If the bolt is on its way back when the trigger is released, it comes back, and is held there. If the bolt is on its way forward at the moment the trigger is released, it fires the round, and is caught and held when it comes back.
The position of the bolt when inserting the new belt is not important except that it is critical to the way you load the belt. You load the belt into the gun one way if the bolt is forward, and a differnt way if it is back. And if you use the wrong one, the gun will either not fire when the trigger is pulled, or jam when the bolt is pulled back.
There is a part of (or on) the feed tray called the cartridge stop. It sticks up, and "stops" the round from going past the position for feeding into the chamber. There is also a part, or parts known as "belt holding" or "retaining" pawls (they keep the belt from moving backward).
If the bolt is back, you load the belt with the first round up against the stop. Close the cover, pull the trigger and rock and roll.
If the bolt is forward, you load the belt with the first round just past the holding pawls, close the cover, and then pull the bolt back. This moves the first round into feeding position.
If you put the round all the way to the stop, with the bolt forward, pulling the bolt back will jam the gun. If you just hook the belt over the holding pawl(s) with the bolt BACK, sending the bolt forward will close it on an empty chamber.
This is a general description, common to a lot of guns. I'll have to look up a pic of the M240 parts to be certain, but I believe the 240 works this way, as well. When I do get able to check it out, I'll post a confirmation (or a denial).
The military will have a set procedure, to load the gun the same way each time (helps cut down on mistakes). While you can get a gun running by loading either way, they will teach one way only, such as only loading with the bolt back (pulling it back if needed, before inserting the belt). Gunners will be trained to that standard. We were taught to pull the charging handle back if/when the gun quit. Then open the cover, and insert a new belt to the stop.
Hope this helps. Welcome to TFL!
andI'm going to move this to the full auto forum,

Wow what a detailed reply, more than I had hoped for. Thank you so much.
I think I get it now. In general the bolt will lock to the front after the last round unless by some magical timing the shooter releases the trigger as bolt is on its way to chamber/fire the final round which will send it back and with the trigger released it will lock.
Perfect, need to make some adjustments to my project but it is very clear now.

Dang, I love this site.
Hey gunquest, you can get a chance to shoot the real thing, see how it works, and get practical experience using it in the field and get the bonafide manuals for it and everything, as well as a host of other neat weapons if you go down to the Post Office and ask to see the Army recruiter.

Here is a good video showing the loading procedure for the M249.
I'm going to disagree with you a bit 44 AMP. From my understanding you NEVER NEVER NEVER reload a M249 with the bolt forward. You always retract the bolt before poping the cover.
The reason is that it is a bad habit to get into. If you pop the cover with the bolt forward after shooting, you potentially have the bolt forward on a dud round which could cook off while the cover is open.

Crosshair, what I was describing was the way it could be done, mechanically.
What you are describing is the way it is to be done, practically!

Thanks 44 AMP I would love to hear your stories.
Crosshair I did watch that video before I posted here, doesn't really explain the bolt operation, but thanks to 44 AMP I made some changes and now the function is correct.
I have another technical question. From my research the charging handle cannot be pulled back with the safety on if that is true when the safety is off and the charging handle is now traveling back can the safety be engaged? If so what happens to the handle, it appears to ride forward as long as the bolt is not locked back.
Also with the ejection port, it has a cover over it much like the m16 dust cover, however I am unclear on what forces it open. Is it the travel of the bolt to the rear or the front or simply the force of the spent casing pushing out?

Drink-fuelled MP Nigel Evans used his "powerful" political influence to sexually take advantage of seven young men, a court heard.
The former deputy speaker, who had the "ability to make or break" careers, assaulted alleged victims in his home, House of Commons bars and his office in the Palace of Westminster, a jury at Preston Crown Court heard.
One sexual assault took place when he was "plastered" in the 'Number 10' bar at a Conservative Party Conference in 2003 when he allegedly put his hand down the trousers of his victim and the matter was referred to a senior Tory offical.
And another happened when he grabbed the penis of another young man sleeping on a sofa at his home in 2009.
He had a meeting with another Tory Chief Whip, Patrick McLoughlin and was "spoken to" and told not to put himself in such situations again.
But his behaviour "escalated" and he was not reported to police for another three years after allegedly raping another young man, the jury was told.
Evans, 56, faces nine charges in all, dating from 2002 to April 1 last year.
The MP for Ribble Valley, in Lancashire, denies two counts of indecent assault, six of sexual assault and one of rape.
Opening the case, prosecutor Mark Heywood QC said: "Within the Palace of Westminster, in his constituency and in his own political party, Mr Evans was, during the decade with which you are concerned, a very well-known and powerful individual.
"Part of his influence included the ability to make, or to break, the careers of those young people who themselves would be politicians or work for those who govern.
"The prosecution case against Mr Evans is that he, often when in drink, pressed his sexual attentions on those younger men, using or trading on his position of influence.
"Now this behaviour did not happen once but has been repeated over time and despite repeated warnings given to him by others.
"It has also escalated in seriousness, no doubt because he believed that his position made it less than likely that someone would complain."
Police began an investigation after Evans allegedly raped a 22-year-old man who spent the night at his home in Pendleton, Lancashire, last year.
Both went to sleep but the student awoke a couple of hours later when he was being raped on the bed.
Evans was said not to be "particularly aggressive or forceful" but the experience was painful for the alleged victim.
Details of the events were later passed to an MP who in turn told the Speaker, John Bercow, but did not disclose any names involved of the complainants.
The Speaker brought the matter to the attention of the police "having considered the matter, thinking it was the appropriate course to take", said the prosecutor.
The first alleged offence happened 11 years before, in late 2002, with the complainant, an openly gay man, aged 27.
The House of Commons worker was in a busy Soho bar and Evans was also there and had "obviously had quite a lot to drink," said Mr Heywood.
"Whilst the complainant was standing talking to someone else he felt a hand going down the back of his trousers.
"So you understand, there was no words, no warning or invitation.
"He was shocked by it but, and this is, you will see repeated over time, he did not want to cause a fuss because of who Mr Evans was."
The complainant was "annoyed" but "walked away" and felt "sorrow" at the MP's behaviour because while it was known he was gay, at that point he was not "openly gay" and the wider public did not know this, the court heard.
The jury heard another complainant was drinking with a friend in a bar called Number 10 at the Imperial Hotel in Blackpool during the 2003, Conservative Party Conference.
The MP was "plastered" and stood next to the complainant when ''without warning or any kind of invitation'' he tried to put his right hand into his trousers.
A member of the Conservative Party Board then stepped in and moved the defendant away from the group. But about 10 minutes later Evans returned and ''did exactly the same thing again'', said Mr Heywood.
The jury was told that it was suggested to the defendant that he was drunk and it was time to retire to bed and the young man was content for the incident to be ''quietly resolved'' by the party.
At the time Evans occupied a ''significant political job'' as Shadow Secretary of State for Wales.
The next alleged victim was a gay man, aged 21, who was interested in working in Parliament.
The MP, who appeared drunk, drew a curtain behind them on a small lobby near the Strangers Bar at Westminster and tried to kiss the young man.
''The younger man was at first shocked and said no," Mr Heywood said.
''He pushed him back and the defendant said 'oh no, it's okay' and leaned in again to kiss.
''He said 'no, it's fine but we're not doing that'.
''He felt most awkward and got out from behind him and steered the MP back towards the bar.''
Mr Heywood next outlined the fourth alleged sexual assault, in early July 2009 involving a bisexual young man and said to have taken place in Evans's house in Pendleton, Lancashire.
After drinking in the local pub they returned to the house with the complainant "very merry'' and Mr Evans ''pretty drunk''.
The MP went to bed and the younger man undressed to his boxer shorts, covered himself with a blanket and went to sleep on the sofa in the sitting room.
The younger man woke to find Evans close behind him, perched on the edge of the sofa.
Evans is then accused of putting his hand under the blanket and inside the boxer shorts of the younger man, taking hold of his penis.
''The reaction was telling,'' Mr Heywood said.
''The younger man immediately pushed the defendant across the room and screamed at him, 'What the hell do you think you're doing?'
''The defendant asked him to calm down and apologised, saying he had got carried away and he had misunderstood.''
When the young man got home he contacted Adam Price, at the time a Plaid Cymru MP, who put him in touch with Michael Fabricant, a Tory whip who told him to leave the matter with him.
A meeting was arranged with the complainant, Patrick McLoughlin MP, at the time the Opposition Chief Whip, John Randall MP and Iain Corby, managing director of the Policy Research Unit Ltd.
The young man wanted Evans to resign.
''That would be difficult,'' Mr Heywood continued, ''because at that stage in 2009, there was a general election coming and there may be local by-elections.
''It was not thought then, that was the obvious thing to happen. In the event the young man agreed.
''Mr Evans would be spoken to, he would seek help for his drinking.
''Mr Evans was spoken to. He did not deny for one minute the event. "He was given words of advice, those included that from that time on, not to put himself in situations in which allegations of this nature might arise again.''
Evans then met the younger man himself on the terrace of the House of Commons and the matter was resolved, the jury heard.
The jury heard of two more assaults, one shortly after the 2010 General Election in the Strangers Bar at the Houses of Parliament, where the complainant was drinking with Evans and others.
The pair were introduced and shook hands and engaged in ''polite conversation'' for five minutes or so.
''In that context,'' Mr Heywood continued, ''Suddenly, without warning, or invitation, or cause the defendant, Mr Evans, reached out with his right hand and physically cupped the complainant's genitals through his clothing.
''The young man pushed the hand down and away in a sweeping motion and said, 'No, that's not cool.'
Another took place when a young gay man, now aged 30, was with others drinking at bars in the Palace of Westminster in February 2011 when they were invited to go to Evans's office in the Commons.
Evans invited the man to view a new kitchen along a corridor, the court heard.
The defendant pushed the complainant into the darkened room.
"Immediately they were inside, the defendant had his hands all over the younger man saying something like 'oh you're gorgeous'," said Mr Heywood.
Evans went on to place the man's hand on his penis which led the startled complainant to dash out of the room, the jury was told.
The MP was arrested on May 4 last year and eventually charged last September.
He denies all the allegations.

Lieberman's impact on the sport of women's basketball is immeasurable. "Lady Magic," as she was known in the media during her days at Old Dominion, helped her Lady Monarch teams collect an astounding 72-2 record during their back-to-back championship seasons.
She never backed down from a challenge...not even from the 7-2, 280-pound Russian center Uljana Semjonova. In the 1976 Montreal Olympics, the 18-year-old Lieberman courageously took a charge from the towering Semjonova and things were never the same. She was the youngest basketball player in Olympic history (male or female), and earned a silver medal.
The feisty attitude has crowned her as one of basketball's trailblazers and ambassadors. The three-time Kodak All-American remains Old Dominion University's leader in career assists (961) while standing second in all-time steals (512). She also holds several single-game and single season records. Lieberman scored 2,430 career points and hauled in 1,167 career rebounds. In 134 career games, she averaged 18.1 points, 8.7 assists and 3.8 steals per game.
Lieberman led the Lady Monarchs in assists four straight years, with her best coming in 1977-78 at 8.9. She averaged 20.9 points in 1976-77 and 8.8 steals in 1979-80. She also led the team in free throw percentage in 1976-77 and 1977-78. Her single game assist high was 19 against Radford in 1977. In 1977-78 she performed a triple-double against crosstown rival Norfolk State with 40 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists.
Lieberman was the first two-time winner of the Wade Trophy (1978-79 and 1979-80). Those same two seasons, Old Dominion captured the AIAW National Championship. For her efforts and dedication to the game, Lieberman was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1996, and the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 1999. She and teammate Anne Donovan are a select group of 11 women in the Hall. Lieberman is also a member of the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame.
In 1980 Lieberman was chosen as the top pick by the Dallas Diamonds of the WBL. In 1986 she became the first women ever to play in a men's professional league. She played for Springfield in the USBL, then with the Washington Generals. In 1996 she played for Phoenix in the WNBA. She later served as coach and general manager of the WNBA's Detroit Shock club for three years.
On July 24, 2008, Lieberman signed a seven-day contract with the Detroit Shock[30], breaking her previous record as the oldest player in league history, at 50 years old. She played one game and had two assists and two turnovers against the Houston Comets.
On August 13, 2008, she was part of the inaugural class to be inducted into the Hampton Roads Sports Hall of Fame, honoring athletes, coaches and administrators who made contributions to sports in Southeastern Virginia.
Lieberman's career progressed from playing and coaching and into national commentating. She currently serves as an analyst for ESPN/ABC for the NBA, WNBA and NCAA Women's Basketball. She has done commentary for NBA-TV, NBC and the NFL Network. Nancy has written for the Dallas Morning News, The New York Times and USA Today.
On May 6, 2000, the Far Rockaway, NY native earned her degree from Old Dominion University in interdisciplinary studies.

|The study of sentence production investigates how speakers turn preverbal messages into utterances. Researchers generally characterize the language production system into three broad components: the message component (conceptualization), the grammatical component (formulation), and the phonological component (articulation) (Bock 1995; Bock & Levelt 1994; Garrett, 1975; Levelt, 1989). Specifically, my work aims to explore the nature and processes of the message component and grammatical component by investigating three primary questions. First, what would happen if there is freedom of choice for message formulation (termed semantic flexibility in my work)? Second, do accessibility effects of thematic prominence and animacy condition syntactic choice in Mandarin? Third, how does speakers' strategic control in response to communicative goals influence the processes of message and grammatical encoding? In my dissertation, I report five sentence production tasks in Mandarin Chinese and English designed to address these questions. ❧ Experiments 1 and 2 explored the effects of semantic flexibility in the production of Mandarin BA and BEI constructions. The results suggest that message formulation processes are highly sensitive to the interaction between thematic role and animacy: Whether having choice of multiple propositions hinders or facilitates production is contingent upon verb thematic structure. Additionally, these findings extend effects of thematic prominence and animacy to Mandarin BA and BEI constructions, providing cross-linguistic evidence for the incrementality-based account for grammatical encoding. ❧ Experiment 3 investigated both effects of thematic prominence and semantic flexibility in the production of English actives and passives. The results confirm effects of thematic prominence in English, but do not replicate the asymmetric pattern of semantic flexibility I found in Mandarin Chinese, suggesting that semantic properties of a syntactic construction may also play a role in message formulation. In sum, the findings of Experiments 1-3 indicate that the operation of the message component may be carried out competitively or incrementally, in contrast to the incremental nature of grammatical encoding. In a broad sense, linguistic information such as verb thematic structure and semantic properties of a syntactic construction may guide the process of sentence production at an early stage. ❧ Experiments 4 and 5 studied how extra-linguistic factors, in particular, speakers' strategic control, influences sentence production in both the message and grammatical component. Existing work suggests that speakers' strategy or task sensitivity has the potential to affect both referent processing in message planning and the scope of advance linguistic planning. Thus, I hypothesize that in prepared speech vs. fast speech, effects of semantic flexibility and thematic prominence would vary with the communicative goal aiming at accuracy or speed. The results of Experiments 4 and 5 show that consistent with the results of Experiment 3, effects of semantic flexibility are not found. Contrastively, effects of thematic prominence are found in prepared speech but not in fast speech. In conclusion, speakers' strategic control can affect the processes of grammatical encoding, depending on whether the goal speakers aim to achieve is speed or accuracy. ❧ As a whole, my findings suggest that message formulation is sensitive to the interaction of linguistic information such as verb thematic structure, conceptual accessibility such as noun animacy, and semantic properties pertaining to syntactic constructions. In contrast to grammatical encoding, message formulation may not always proceed incrementally. Moreover, the language production system is susceptible to extra-linguistic factors such as strategic control, in particular the grammatical component. By exploring the nature and processes of the individual components as well as the interactions between them, my research helps shed light on how people produce speech.

DETROIT – My father passed away some 20 years ago, but I'll always remember how proud he was of his son, me. Eventually. It took a while.
Fathers and sons share a bond that success should follow success. Failure is not an option.
I grew up in Sioux City, Iowa, and was working in local TV news there while going to college. My first jobs were behind the scenes but later I moved in front of the camera doing reporting and morning anchor.
Arlo Kiertzner was all business as a stockbroker and pushed me to major in Business Administration in college. He was doubtful about any news career or TV.
However, that changed when he would call on clients and they would ask him, "are you related to that Jim Kiertzner who works on channel 9"?
He then decided I could be a success in my own chosen career path and I had his support and admiration.
Rest in peace, dad. You and mom did instill in me success, confidence, a work hard ethic and enough freedom to find my own way.
And I am working every day to instill those same qualities in my daughter who has graduated from Michigan State University and will be going to grad school this fall.

Flor del Todo
So on to the cigar: at first glance, Flor del Todo is certainly not winning any beauty contests. It is however one of Keith's top five knockaround cigars...cigars I burn when I'm putzing around the yard, on long car rides, playing golf, stuff like that. The Churchill is a meaty 7.25"x53 vitola packed to the brim with fillers. It feels like there's 2 cigars worth of tobaccos in here; in fact it takes a solid hour+ to burn it down to my knuckles. The draw is not effortless - not that it's a tough draw - but there's a little bit of resistance to it which I especially like in a knockaround cigar like this. The wrapper is a thick, double-fermented Ecuadorian leaf with a sort of marbelized appearance and rustic, chewy texture to it. The body is medium, the flavor smooth, slightly creamy, a little gritty on the tongue with a nutty character and pleasant aroma. The finish is very clean and crisp.
I give this one extra credit in the ratings category because of the enormous value - each stick costs around a buck each and that my friend, is unbeatable.
