You'll be amazed at the improvement over traditional hard drive access times the first time you turn on your computer, and for virtually everything you do with your PC. System startup, application load times, data transfers, and even shutdown times are all faster.
Add up all the time you spend all day waiting for your computer ? starting up, loading game levels, saving large files and documents ? and it can be significant. Using a PC can be a lot more enjoyable when it's not always making you wait.
There's fast, and then there's fast. Force Series 3 SSDs have even quicker read and write times when they're installed in PCs that use the latest SATA 3 interface.
Haven't yet moved to SATA 3? Like all Corsair components, Force Series 3 SSDs are designed to last through several system upgrades. Adding a Force Series 3 today means that you'll still get incredible storage performance now, and your SSD will be ready for your next upgrade.
Choosing a Force Series 3 SSD helps your computing budget go farther. They deliver outstanding SATA 3 6Gb/s performance, with prices that are comparable to lower-performance SATA 2 3Gb/s solid-state drives.
Force Series 3 SSDs feature support for the Windows? 7 TRIM command. This allows them to store only the data they need and perform memory optimization to ensure the fastest possible write speeds.
Because SSDs have no moving parts, they can handle shock, vibration and temperature changes far in excess of traditional hard drives. That's important for desktop PCs, and essential for notebooks.
Traditional mechanical hard drives spin at thousands of revolutions per minute. This takes power, and generates noise and heat. Since SSDs have no moving parts, there's no noise or vibration, and the lower power consumption helps keep things cool inside your PC.
The 2.5" form factor allows for installation in most notebook PCs with no adapter required. If you're adding a Force Series 3 SSD to your desktop PC, use the included 3.5" adapter to mount it in any standard hard drive bay.

Posted: Jan 14, 2013 5:32 PM
WACO, Texas (AP) - Inmates at one Central Texas jail will no longer have access to microwave ovens.
They were removed Monday from the McLennan County Jail.
County commissioners last summer refused to allot $85,000 for upgrading the jail's wiring after microwaves overloaded the electrical system.
Sheriff Parnell McNamara says the 47 microwaves posed a safety risk because some inmates have thrown hot liquids on others.
McNamara also says they were an unwarranted luxury for those accused of violating the law.
The microwaves were bought with proceeds from the jail's commissary fund -- not with taxpayer dollars. Each was shared by two dozen inmates and used under jailer supervision.
The microwaves were removed Monday. A handful will remain at the jail for trustee inmates, who do laundry, cleaning and cooking.

broomrape, any member of about 150 species of the genus Orobanche and its family (Orobanchaceae, order Lamiales), which contains 99 genera (including Boschniakia) and about 2,000 species in all. All are parasitic herbs, with little green tissue (i.e., they have little chlorophyll and do not produce their food photosynthetically to any great extent); instead, they draw nourishment from the roots of other plants by means of small suckers.
The broomrape family, which occurs in the Northern Hemisphere, is characterized by the nongreen colour of the plants, irregularly shaped flowers, scales in place of leaves, and one-chambered capsules that contain numerous minute seeds. The plants may be yellowish, brownish, purplish, or white.

Media Arts
Animated Arts
— Rose Bond, Department Chair
The Animated Arts concentration within the Media Arts major embraces the hybrid-moving image by combining fine art practice and digital technologies. At a time when the boundaries between live action, animation, painting, photography, illustration, and design are dissolving, an interdisciplinary fine art approach encourages students to reimagine and create frame-based work for multiple contexts.
In addition to learning principles of animation, students can expect to experiment with a variety of media, production methods, and narrative strategies as they produce work for multiple or varied platforms. A history of animated arts will be taught in the context of a broad engagement with both cinema and fine art. Students will engage in research to probe and hone their ideas in a setting that values innovative thinking, risk taking, collaboration, and fine craftsmanship. The curriculum is structured with low walls in order to offer students from diverse disciplines expanded opportunities to pursue their own relationship to the creation of animated art.
Rose Bond is Associate Professor in Intermedia and Animated Arts. Professors like Bond work one-on-one with students, helping them to problem-solve, think innovatively, and pursue excellence. Photo by Matthew Miller '11.

The Switch To Turn Off Mankind
WARNING: The goal of Audiopain's music is to messily and painfully shred the facial features off of unprepared listeners with sonic tidal waves of thrash brutality and complete, unadulterated metalness. If this sort of savage audio self-mutilation appeals to you, read on.
The Switch To Turn Off Mankind is Audiopain's second full-length effort and sees this great Norwegian band honing their already formidable brand of slightly progressive, slightly blackened, totally killer modern thrash. Yes, that's right, MODERN. Forget about the newest wave of nostalgia-driven revival knock-off bands, THIS is what thrash should sound like in 2007. Tight, infectious, and more original than you might think, this album will kick your ass. If it doesn't…well, you must not have an ass.
"Hellbound" positively careens out of the gates and it's immediately clear that these guys aren't fucking around. Comparisons to some of the more extreme early thrash bands like Kreator and Sodom are valid, but there's more to Audiopain's style than you might think at first listen. While the band has mostly phased out the black metal aspect of their sound in recent years, there is still a subtle blackened tint to some of the passages, such as the spidery riffing found in "Alliance" and "Holy Toxic," that brings to mind the brilliant work of early Dodheimsgard (particularly Monumental Possession). The low-profile nature of this influence may be easy to overlook, but helps to set this trio apart from their more derivative peers. "Termination Fields" sees the outfit reigning in the speed somewhat while sacrificing zero intensity, and the slightly complex structuring of the title track is compelling and well-executed. The band tends to shy away from guitar solos (though the one on "Hellbound" kills), but the riffs and hooks are so strong that I didn't even really notice. These songs have actual depth, and the perfectly clear, yet suitably unpolished production gives the music personality and definite staying power. Sverre Dæhli's throaty screams are rife with energy and character and add even more to the extremely potent sound presented here.
I have only one real complaint regarding TWTTOM, but it's significant; this album is too fucking short. At six songs running a meager 26:49, it's hard not to feel let down once outstanding closer "Cobra Dance" reaches its conclusion--things just seem unfinished, despite that track's epic prowess. The high caliber of the songs present makes this all the more disappointing; these guys are clearly capable of churning out quality material (check out their back catalog), and the album's brevity is too hard to fathom, and thus earned the band a reduced songwriting score. But we all know that quality is ultimately more important than quantity, and Audiopain's newest is nevertheless a great thrash album that is absolutely worth your attention and money. All of these songs are vicious and catchy as hell, and the playing is tight without sounding obnoxiously so. This band has found their formula and it's clear they are intent on perfecting it, so get on the bandwagon early. Highly recommended…although not the masterpiece it potentially could be.

BECKY HASSINGER has remade foodservices at the UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI HEALTH CARE by:
• Renovating the system's main retail locations to improve service and traffic flow and to create a comfortable dining environment
• Focusing on healthier eating by removing fryers and using better-for-you applications
• Implementing room service, which increased patient satisfaction
• Revamping the patient menu to include a staple of favorites and a rotating selection of seasonal specials
Becky Hassinger, University of Missouri Health CareCreating an enjoyable dining atmosphere is essential in any foodservice operation. It's especially important in a hospital, where life-and-death decisions are made every day. Becky Hassinger, manager of dining and nutrition services at the University of Missouri Health Care, in Columbia, has done everything possible to make that happen throughout the hospital. During the past couple of years she has renovated every major retail location in some way. She also has implemented room service to elevate the patient meal experience.
"Becky really likes taking something that could be better and working with our team to mold those foodservice areas into something that is better," says Director of Support Services Roger Higginbotham, Hassinger's boss. "Hospital food was not always at the top of anybody's list. Becky wants our customers to have the best food that they can. She's always looking at the experience. We try to create a place where people can unwind for a little bit and experience good food."
Hassinger is in charge of foodservice for all locations in the system, except the orthopedic center. That includes retail and patient services at the 307-bed University Hospitals and 156-bed Women's & Children's Hospital.
Retail renovations: The first retail revamp occurred in the University Hospital, the system's main facility. The dining location in that hospital, Main Street Café, was a sit-down, full-service restaurant. The café also offered an all-you-can-eat buffet, which was loaded with items that wouldn't be considered healthy fare, especially in a hospital setting.
"The renovation was long overdue," Hassinger says. "[The type of service offered there] was something that used to be the thing, but it's not something hospitals have done in several years. Most hospital staff don't have time to come down and take a leisurely lunch. They come down and grab something [because they] need to get back up to the floor."
In addition to the café not offering the type of service most hospital employees needed to accommodate their busy schedules, for those people who could dine in, table turnover time was often an issue. "Because we had waiter/waitress service it took so long, and there [often] would be a line out the door," she says.
The traffic backup problem was only going to get worse. A new tower is opening in the spring of 2013, and no foodservice location is going into that location. The new tower, which will feature 90 private rooms, will house the system's cancer center. The current cancer center's location will close, including a retail outlet that was in that building. With the influx of staff and visitors coming to the main hospital once the tower opens, Hassinger knew she needed to improve services at the foodservice locations at University Hospital.
In 2010, Main Street Café was overhauled into what Hassinger likens to a quick-service, Panera-like location named Essentials. Items are cooked to order.
Customers receive a pager to let them know when their order is ready. During peak times, food is ready in 10 minutes, a much faster time than service before for those employees who need to grab something on the run.
The menu changed significantly. Whereas Main Street Café offered typical Midwestern fare like country fried steak and biscuits and gravy, at Essentials grab-and-go items are heavily featured and the menu is peppered with flatbread pizzas, artisan sandwiches, sushi and smoothies.
The menu and service style weren't the only things that were changed. The décor also got a major refresh. Hassinger says the café received mini face-lifts during the years, with a new coat of paint or carpet, but a major overhaul had never been done during her 20 years with the system. With the service change, new equipment was purchased and the space was redesigned to be a relaxing area highlighted with natural colors, plants and soft lighting.
When Essentials opened, however, not everyone was thrilled with the changes. The fryer was removed, along with the all-you-can-eat buffet. Hassinger says people were hesitant to dine in Essentials because of the new push toward healthier items. "There were staff who were angry that we took away the all-you-can-eat buffet," she says. "Becky isn't scared to take on some things that could be controversial,"
Higginbotham says about the decision to remove the fryer. "She's done a good job at coming up with better-for-you options for fried foods, like using the charbroiler. We met some resistance early on when we opened Essentials. Becky quickly won people over with the quality of food."
After a somewhat slow start, daily transactions at Essentials have increased 88% over its predecessor.
Oasis: The next retail location to see an overhaul was The 404 Diner, in the Women's & Children's Hospital. The retail space was gutted and reopened earlier this year with a new name—Oasis—and a new, more pleasant dining experience for customers. Soft lighting, plants and natural colors also are heavily prominent in Oasis. Transactions have increased 5% since Oasis opened in June.
Traffic flow had been a problem at The 404 Diner. During the renovation, the space was reconfigured to better accommodate diners. The location features four stations: Sizzle (charbroiler and flat-top griddle for burgers and sandwiches made to order); Creations (stir-fry, rice bowls, noodle bowls and entrée salads); Homestyle (comfort foods like meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans); and Cabana (pizza, sandwiches, soup and Smoothies).
During slower times, at night and on weekends, Cabana turns into a one-station show, with all food coming from this area. "There is so much variety there, and we can save on labor and not have to staff all of these stations during our slow periods," Hassinger says.
The fryer was eliminated from what was to become Oasis, and it also got the heave-ho during a mini renovation completed this year in the main hospital's other retail location, The Grill Downstairs.
"This renovation was what our engineering department likes to call a 'blue sky' project. It's something that falls out of the blue sky," Hassinger says. Specifically, engineers discovered there was a problem with the exhaust hood and ductwork, which would require closing down a section of the eatery and replacing the exhaust system.
Hassinger used this as an opportunity to make some other changes at The Grill Downstairs. Once again, she removed the fryer, replacing it with a combi oven and charbroiler. She also repositioned the equipment so that staff would no longer have to turn their backs to customers while taking and making their orders. Since reopening in August, transactions in The Grill Downstairs have increased 2%.
With all the renovations on the retail side in the past few years, it should come as no surprise that Hassinger says the opening of these projects is one of her most rewarding moments on the job. "I thoroughly enjoy all the renovation projects in the retail area," she says. "I like doing anything I can to improve services for our patients, visitors and staff."
Higginbotham says that being able to create changes is one of Hassinger's greatest strengths. "She is very good at having a concept in her head and being able to make that concept come alive, not just on paper but in reality," he says. "She is very hands-on [during these projects]. Becky is always trying to make things better. She's always trying to be innovative. She's not one to let problems overtake her. She tries to figure out what's coming down the road and figures out how to prepare for that."
Patient satisfaction: One of the areas Higginbotham says his foodservice director has shown ingenuity is in patient service. Hassinger understood early on the potential of room service, offering it for new mothers in 2003. By 2008, every patient in the system was being served via room service. Since starting room service, patient satisfaction has improved from the 27th percentile to the 77th percentile at University Hospital and 99th percentile at Women's & Children's.
In January, Hassinger decided to revamp the patient menu. The popular items were kept and an 11-day rotating daily specials menu was added to give patients more variety. The daily specials menu changes with the season. Some items offered on that special menu include lemon dill salmon with vegetable orzo pasta and lemon pepper tilapia served with seasonal roasted vegetables.
In keeping with her healthy initiatives on the retail side, Hassinger says she plans to remove fryers from the patient food prep area soon.

Market Share: Advance for Mozilla, Setback for Microsoft
Market watcher Net Applications has found in their recent statistics that Microsoft's representation in operating systems has fallen to below 90% of the market. Meanwhile, Mozilla's Firefox is rising to a more than 20% share in the browser market.
Of course, a 90% chunk of the market still seems like a lot, but it's bad news for Microsoft, which is used to having more than the lion's share. According to Net Applications, there could be a correlation between operating systems and politics. Their prognosis for the U.S. elections in November: Mac users are more likely to vote Democrat.
The elections might also have been the impetus behind browser market share. Around November 4th Firefox usage steadily increased, remaining high throughout the Thanksgiving holiday, a fact Net Applications attributes to the large number of household Internet users. The market share analysts observed that individual Web users are more likely than organizations to use Firefox. This, they say, is material for a further study.
The California company has been researching operating system market share since October 2004. At that time Windows had 96.4% of the market. At the end of 2006 the share stood at 93.86%. By the beginning of 2008 the share had fallen to 91.5% and it now stands at 89.62%.
While Windows experienced an almost 2 percentage point drop during 2008, Linux more than doubled its share over the last two years from 0.37% to 0.83%. The big winner, however, is Apple, whose OS X rose from a 5.4% share two years ago to 8.87%. These trends to the detriment of Microsoft have been corroborated by European researchers. Many of the trends are a direct result of the popularity of the new mini-laptops running Linux.
Microsoft's dominance in web browsers also seems to be waning. According to Net Applications, the free Firefox browser's share rose beyond the 20% mark in November. Mozilla CEO John Lilly was overjoyed: "Reaching 20 percent worldwide market share is a significant milestone for Firefox and Mozilla... that just a few years ago most would have considered impossible." The market observers gauged the one-month growth from October to November of 0.8 percentage points as being "much higher than average" and expect the trend to continue. Additionally, the Chrome browser from Google showed a sudden rise to a 0.78% share soon after its introduction in August and is creeping steadily toward 1%.
Net Applications compiles its data from visits to its network of sites, about 160 million visits per month, which is how frequently they post their statistics. The company also classifies more than 430 search engines in most parts of the world.

Mustangs at Las Colinas is a breathtakingly realistic bronze sculpture by Robert Glen, that decorates Williams Square in Las Colinas in Irving, Texas. It is said to be the largest equestrian sculpture in the world. The mustangs were shipped by air from England to Irving, Texas, and after the intricate procedure of mounting the figures, the Mustangs of Las Colinas sculpture was dedicated on September 25, 1984.
The sculpture commemorates the wild mustangs that were historically important inhabitants of much of Texas. It portrays a group at 1.5 times life size, running through a watercourse, with fountains giving the effect of water splashed by the animals' hooves. The horses are intended to represent the drive, initiative and unfettered lifestyle that were fundamental to the state in its pioneer days. (sources: 1 2)

"The Bachelor"'s Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney [now Mesnick] got married in a lavish ceremony on Saturday, Feb. 27 in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif. The event will be televised on Monday night for fans of the ABC dating series to see -- but first, ET talks to the happy couple to get the inside scoop on their big day.
"I was thinking about this earlier -- and it is too bad you guys won't get to see this -- but literally, a minute before Molly walked out, [my son] Ty tackled me and I had this huge moment with Ty. It was all emotional, and then I took him to his seat. Then Molly came out and I started crying all over again," Jason tells ET.
There is an old saying that rain on your wedding day is a lucky omen. Let's hope so, because it poured the afternoon that "The Bachelor" couple took their vows.
"I loved every minute of the rain," Molly tells ET. "It started to rain in the middle of the ceremony, right when I was starting to say our vows. We looked at each other and laughed. It made the day far more special than it ever could have been."
The wedding party included Molly's sister, Katie, as her maid of honor, and four additional bridesmaids. On Jason's side, his brothers -- Larry and Sean -- stood up for him as his best men with two additional groomsmen rounding out the wedding party.
The bride was stunning in a $45,000, strapless gown by Monique Lhuillier, which added a fairytale element to the wedding. So how did Molly know when she had the perfect dress?
"I met with [Monique] and tried on a bunch of different styles, but I knew I wanted that mermaid-style dress, something more form-fitting on the top," Molly tells ET. "I needed to try other styles just to get a feel, but once we put on the style that I thought I wanted, we both looked at each other and said, 'Yes, this is the one.' I felt good in it. She thought I looked wonderful in it, but we custom-made a few more design elements to the dress."
The bride walked down the aisle as former "American Idol" contestant Jason Castro serenaded the wedding party and guests with the version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" he had performed on the singing contest.
"I always knew when I walked down the aisle, I did not want to walk to the typical wedding march song," Molly explains. "I wanted something more modern. Jason and I both loved the rendition of 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' that Jason Castro sings. It was an easy choice to see if he would do this favor for us. He was phenomenal."
Jason and Molly are the first couple from "The Bachelor" franchise to tie the knot. Trista and Ryan Sutter were from "The Bachelorette" -- and among the invited guests for Jason and Molly's wedding. So why does "The Bachelor" couple think that they made it when so many others have failed?
"Honestly, I think a lot of it was that we stayed away from Hollywood and went right back to our normal lives," Molly says. "I went right back to work, and Jason went right back to work. We focused on being a normal couple. It wasn't about keeping our face out there. He has Ty, and we wanted to integrate each other into our normal lives. That helped us stay strong."
In addition to Trista and Ryan, the guest list included Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski, Charlie O'Connell and Sarah Brice, DeAnna Pappas, Kiptyn Locke, Jesse Csincsak, and Natalie Getz, Stephanie Hogan and Nikki Kaapke, all bachelorettes from Jason's edition of "The Bachelor."
Now that the wedding is behind them, Jason and Molly will be taking a two-week honeymoon in South Africa, where they will enjoy both the beaches and a safari to see the animals.
"A friend asked me just yesterday, 'Is it any different being a Mrs.?" Molly says. "Going into the wedding, I didn't think life would be different because we already lived together. I was so wrong. I am the happiest I have ever been. I look at Jason differently. He makes me feel differently. Married life is the best feeling in the world and I wish it for everyone."
"The Bachelor: Jason and Molly's Wedding" airs Monday at 8 p.m. on ABC.

There is a category of movie we should talk about more often: The Saturday Night Special. The Perfect Rental. It is a small movie, quirky, with interesting characters, and a story that sticks with you. You can watch it sideways; there are few glossy production values or superior special effects that would force you to sit straight up on the sofa. It's the kind of movie you might not love for $8.50, but at $3 for two nights it's a bargain.

Last November, California voters easily passed Proposition 71, which provides $3 billion in state grants for embryonic stem cell research. Jews supported Proposition 71 in much higher numbers than most voters.
Two of the initiative's primary backers, Robert Klein and film producer Jerry Zucker ("Airplane," "Ghost" and "First Knight"), are Jewish. Klein has become head of the committee overseeing the new California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, which will award Proposition 71 funds. Zucker has more or less returned to the sidelines. He talked to The Journal about his role in Proposition 71 and the politics and science of stem cells.

REMOTE DESTINATION: After overwintering at the Southwestern Native Aquatic Resources & Recovery Center, where they were treated to remove any parasites, humpback chub collected from the Little Colorado River were released into this inviting pool at the base of Havasu Creek's Lower Beaver Falls.

Some 300 fish took a most unusual trip. Freshly delivered from their winter base camp at a hatchery in southeastern New Mexico earlier this year, the live swimmers—ensconced in aerated coolers—were helicoptered to the base of a dazzling turquoise-blue waterfall in the remote western region of Grand Canyon National Park.
The endangered humpback chub (Gila cypha), endemic to the Colorado River, are distinguished by a large bulge on their sleek, olive-colored backs. They had been collected several months earlier in the Little Colorado River, a tributary that hosts the largest of their known spawning populations. Due to similarities in hydrology, habitat and water chemistry between the Little Colorado and Havasu Creek, the downstream waterway to which the fish were flown, fisheries experts ranked the latter as the creek most likely to support a second reproducing population within the park.
Humpback chub are uniquely adapted to thrive in the turbulent and muddy whitewater environment that characterized the Colorado River prior to the construction of Glen Canyon and other dams throughout the basin. Whereas these dams have provided many benefits, including drinking and irrigation water for over 40 million people, they have also drastically altered the river's chemical and physical environment, including the base of the Grand Canyon's food chain.
Native fishes are considered bellwethers for the entire ecosystem, and of the eight native species once found in Grand Canyon, four—including the humpback chub—are now federally listed as endangered. Should a disaster such as a landslide cut off the Little Colorado chub from the mainstem, the species could quickly become extinct. So this year the National Park Service, in a cooperative effort with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Arizona Game and Fish Department, carefully sling loaded coolers of chub, each with a transponder tracking tag safely embedded near its belly, for the third time into Havasu and the fourth time into smaller Shinumo Creek, which is located 77 river kilometers to the east, as part of an urgent effort to establish other viable populations.
View a slide show of chub relocation Grand Canyon National Park.
Chub relocated to these creeks are just beginning to reach maturity, and for the first time in May biologists found evidence that the fish are indeed reproducing: Two juvenile chub without identification tags were captured in Havasu. This discovery, along with the recapture of two female chub in spawning condition, marks a milestone in the multimillion-dollar effort to improve the species's odds of survival. "We can't say for sure whether those juveniles were spawned from the translocated chub," says Brian Healy, Fisheries Program manager for Grand Canyon National Park, "but we found seven ripe males in May last year, and plenty of fish large enough to spawn, so it's certainly possible. Future monitoring should confirm this and will also be necessary to determine whether these juveniles survive to maturity."
Removing nonnative species
Beginning in the early 1900s federal agencies stocked nonnative brown and rainbow trout to enhance sport fishing in the Colorado River and its tributaries according to that era's practices. Unfortunately for the chub, both species are piscivorous, so "the park service is now in the process of trying to remove the nonnative trout that are competitive with and prey on the native fishes," says Melissa Trammell, a fisheries biologist for the National Park Service's Intermountain Region.
Backpack electrofishing, which introduces a weak current into the water to gently stun the trout just long enough for "fish crews" to net them, is operated in conjunction with a weir that blocks trout from entering the tributary. Culling must be repeated for several years before the stream is suitable for chub translocation. After the humpback chub are released, the work crews continue to remove nonnative fishes by several methods including conventional angling, an efficient method that is extremely selective for trout, Trammell says.

All that being said I had my first squib ever a couple of days ago - but it was from pulling cases to check weight and trying to chew bubblegum at the same time.

I have loaded 1000 rounds in one hour. I'll never do it agian, but I can if I want.
I can pump out a quick 300 for practice any time I want.
Waiting 'till the last minute to load up match ammo is no longer a worry.
Hey Bill, the powder check is silly, but I'm happy having it on my .40 toolhead. No need for it on a 9mm head loading 7-8g of powder. Empty or full, that's it.
I prefer the auto indexing. It's safer. You have to really try to get a double charge.
The case feeder alone is worth the investment.
Good luck
Posted 27 July 2005 - 01:31 PM
I feel like I'd be more comfortable with the check die, but if I'm just more careful and observant can I do without it?
Absolutely. A forum member (who'd never reloaded) once bought a 550 from me, After quite a bit of convincing that by simply paying attention, he did not have to fear a double or no charge. His habit picked up, and later he bought a 650, along with the Powder Check System he'd always longed to have. Some time after that, he posted a picture on the forum of how he replaced the Powder Check System with a mirror, that looked down through the empty station in the Toolhead.
To me the Powder Check System is just one more thing to adjust and keep in adjustment - every time you change calibers or change the powder charge. Even when sponsored by Dillon, my Powder Check Systems never made it out of their bag. I preferred to look right into the case just as I was setting on the bullet.

Has there been any news about the 550 case feeder?
I sometimes wish we got the 650. But overall the 550 is a good machine and has run well for us. Now that I have gotten used to it I like it. She is going to 40 cal so perhaps we will go with the 650 for her and I will keep using the 550 to not have to change out calibers?

After I got it, I asked about the powder check, and well, no one really could justify its cost to me but a lot of people insisted it was good insurance.
Since then I found Hornady makes something called a Powder Cop, and RCBS also has a powder check die that will lock up the machine - both are significantly less costs than the Dillon fancy version. I bought the Hornady one. It gives me an easy visual that is as good as looking in the case without having to look in the case (the mirror ideas sounds intriguing as well). The money I saved went towards bullets.
I have the impression that a squib or double load on a 650 is 99.9999% of the time a user error.
If you are someone who tends to make mistakes (or lose concentration) while doing something like reloading, then maybe you need the fancy check system, but then again, should you be reloading? Pay attention to what you are doing and I doubt if a 650 would ever throw a dangerous load.

Posted 05 August 2005 - 12:34 PM
The search narrowed to the 550, 650 or the Hornady. The 550 lost out due to lack of a 5th station, lack of a case feeder option, and lack of auto indexing. I cannot offer a good reason for passing on the Hornady, maybe I just like blue better than red.
Whichever you decide on, the bullet tray would seem to be a worthwhile addition. I didn't get it, but will order one with my first caliber conversion.

I feel like I'd be more comfortable with the check die, but if I'm just more careful and observant can I do without it?
I have the check die on a 650 and no check die on a 1050. The difference is in standing or sitting. I got the 650 first and after loading a couple of squib loads I ordered the check die and never had another problem. When I got the 1050 I thought I would just swap the die out since I did not forsee loading two calibers at once. The 1050 is mounted directly to my bench, the 650 uses the strong mount. I find that I prefer to stand to load at the 1050 and sit at the 650. Standing at the 1050 I can easily see into each case as I place the bullet and notice instantly if there is more or less powder than what I've been loading. Sitting at the 650 I do not see into the case nearly as well and am happy to have the check die keep me safe.

I prefer the 550 over the 650 because of the simplicity of the design. When I bought my 650 I mistakenly sold my 550. Now, I'll be selling my 650 to buy another 550B. The 650 is much faster when it decides to cooperate. On the other hand, fixing a problem takes much longer than on the 550B. It's definitely more finicky. In fact, I've sent the machine back to Dillon for repairs and have replaced a lot of components. It just hasn't been reliable like the 550, which I loaded about 40-50k rounds on.
When calculating my reloading time, I add the total time it takes to reload, including futzing around with the machine when there's a problem and checking the rounds. With the 550 I never checked for high primers. I have to with the 650, which adds to my overall time. If the pending casefeeder for the 550 is reliable (the casefeeder on my 650 was one of the more reliable parts), along with the simplicity of the 550, it should be dyamite setup. More speed with the simplicity of the 550.
The last problem I had was when the frame broke under the handle. To their credit, Dillon completely rebuilt the machine, including installing a new frame, shellplate, etc. The 650 is now basicaly new, but I'm so snake-bit that I don't even want to even try it again.
Anybody want to trade?
Posted 15 August 2005 - 04:15 AM
I use the 550 and the 650 (with casefeed and no powder check system). I use my
M1 MOD 2 eyeball (read bifocals) to check EVERY powder charge. How many can I load an hour on each machine? I don't know because I have never (nor will I) timed myself reloading. The nature of design of each machine (550-650-1050) will ultimately allow YOU to complete more rounds/hour, but, just how many, is a function of adhereing to YOUR safety margins.
As an airline captain, I'm often amazed at the number of people who are more concerned with "what time are we getting there" rather than the simple request "please get me to our destination safely".
Further, not wanting to ding anyone here, but, why in the world would you want to watch TV while reloading? Talk about the ultimate distraction. Pilots at my carrier are not permitted to read any nonflight related material, listen to or watch entertainment devices while on duty on the flight deck. Why? Loss of situational awareness, greatly reduced safety margins, along with numerous other reasons. Not very hard to apply those issues to reloading. In this thread I've read about squibs and double loads. Sounds like either a break down in safe loading technique, distractions, or loss of situational awareness (I wonder if powder drop into that case?).
Please don't make reloading a race against the clock....we are all doing this for fun and relaxation (well mostly fun, relaxation and the simple joy it brings). Live to reload and shoot another day with all your body parts properly intact.
Time or how many YOU vs someone else can pump out in an hour should never be an issue.

Egypt: 19 troops killed in Sinai accident
EL-ARISH, Egypt (AP) -- A troop carrier overturned on a mountain road in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula early Monday, killing at least 19 members of the security forces stationed on the border with Israel, officials said.
Health Ministry official Tarek Khater said the driver of the vehicle was speeding downhill on the badly maintained road as he transported members of the paramilitary Central Security Forces along the borderline. A security official says the high number of casualties resulted from the vehicle overturning several times.
Khater says six others are in critical condition. A security official however says the injured number at least 48. He spoke anonymously because he was not authorized to talk to the press.
It was a different part of the Sinai from where the military is conducting a sweep against Islamic militants.
Traffic accidents are common in Egypt due to poor road maintenance and spotty enforcement of traffic laws. Police estimate they kill about 6,000 people annually.

The capital of Portugal is pleasantly temperate all year round, so it's always a good time to book flights to Lisbon, one of the most intriguing and fun capitals in Europe. It also has a rich history and is the burial place of explorer Vasco da Gama.
Despite being where the mouth of the River Tagus meets the Atlantic Ocean, Lisbon is built on seven hills, so there are lots of great views to be had of the waters and the wild variety of architecture that stretches from Roman to Post-Modern. The medieval district of Alfama is particularly charming, with its narrow, cobbled alleys leading up to panoramic views from the Castle of São Jorge.
Those getting cheap flights to Lisbon will also be pleased to hear most things here are cheaper than in other European capital cities, so you'll have plenty of money to check out the many bars playing Fado, a Portuguese style of guitar music. For a more eclectic mix, visit the area of Bairro Alto where you can find crowds of young people out dancing all night.
Take a day's trip to nearby Sintra, the royal mountain retreat where numerous lavish estates such as Monserrate and Pena palaces can be found. These exquisite buildings are surrounded by forests that are true royal playgrounds, with fountains, glasshouses, secret gardens and historic temples alongside modern additions such as interactive workshops. Nearby you'll find Colares, the most western edge of Europe, with its beautiful beaches and the stunning hilltop enclave of Azenhas do Mar.

Fate unknown for Pit Bulls involved in dog attack
Posted at: 12/28/2012 5:31 PM
| Updated at: 12/28/2012 5:37 PM
By: Jill Galus, KOB Eyewitness News 4
Two pit bulls in Santa Fe will remain in city custody while their owner awaits trial.
Gerard Matthews is still trying to save the dogs lives, after they mauled a chihuahua to death in November.
A memorial still rests in front of the pit bull owner's front yard, nearly two months after Lillie was mauled to death.
"I'll mourn her loss for the rest of my life," Anne Stills, Lillie's owner, said. "There isn't a night that doesn't go by that I don't cry and miss her."
Stills said, she even sleeps with Lillie's ashes beside her at night, to feel her spirit, since she will never be able to hold her again.
Back in November, two pit bulls jumped a fence and attacked Stills and killed Lillie while taking a walk down W. Alameda.
Their owner, Matthews, told a judge he did not want the pit bulls back but instead, wants them sent to a rehabilitation center.
No plea deal was reached in court Thursday, and instead, a trial was scheduled to decide the dogs fate.
"If I could be 100% assured that these dogs would never ever be released into the public again, where they could never ever do any harm, I might, might, be okay with them staying in a rescue, but I think ultimately they're going to wind up getting put down whether they go to a rescue or not because they're dangerous," Stills said.
While the dogs fate will be settled before a judge, Stills maintains her mission, on behalf of her beloved Lillie, to change the penalties for owners whose dogs, kill.
"I'll go city, county, state, national," Stills said. "There needs to be laws in this country that everybody understands who takes on the responsibility of an animal."
Trial is scheduled for the end of February.
The Pit Bulls' owner's attorney could not be reached for comment.

A portrait of the artists as very young women
It's not clear when a muse officially took up residence at the Walsberg home in Two Harbors, but according to Jenny Walsberg, her daughters Kate and Ruby have been drawing and painting since they were toddlers sitting at the kitchen table.By: Tammy Francois, Lake County News Chronicle
It's not clear when a muse officially took up residence at the Walsberg home in Two Harbors, but according to Jenny Walsberg, her daughters Kate and Ruby have been drawing and painting since they were toddlers sitting at the kitchen table.
Now, both girls' work is on exhibit at the Vanilla Bean through the end of December and ongoing at Buddy's Mercantile, a shop owned by the Walsbergs on Seventh Ave. Ruby's paintings are also featured at the Scenic Cafe, where she has sold quite a few, said her dad, Roger.
This wouldn't seem uncommon; the North Shore, after all, boasts many talented artists. But Ruby is just 14 and Kate is 10.
"Ruby sees the world through her own eyes; her art is both interesting and colorful. She loves animals, nature and spending time with friends," reads a description of her work from the Vanilla Bean for the girls' exhibit.
Ask her and she won't hesitate to tell her real motivation.
"I think it's really awesome," Ruby said of the attention given her work, "but I just do it for fun. It makes me happy and it gets my mind off stuff."
In addition to watercolors, she has used acrylic and oil paint, pastel and crayon. But she said her favorite is pencil drawing.
"I can sketch anywhere — in school, in my notebooks," she said.
Kate, who is in fifth grade, has other favorites.
"I like to use markers and crayons," she said, as well as "sewing stuff on the sewing machine, hand sewing and I like to read sometimes." He favorite subjects are animals.
The girls are mostly self-taught, said Jenny Walsberg, but they have taken lessons with Arlee Wilkes, a member of the Voyageurs Art Group and the Lake Superior Water Color Society who studied with painter Joyce Gow and others. She estimates that she has been teaching children for at least 30 years and sees her role as passing something of herself along to others.
"I don't claim to be a professor, but sometimes if you have a talent, you share it," Wilkes said. "I feel like when you're a teacher, you don't know how many generations your teaching will go."
While arts are frequently on the chopping block in various school districts, Wilkes says they're alive and well in the Walsberg home.
"They have a table in the kitchen and instead of eating there, she said, it's usually an art table," she noted.
With art a way of life for the girls and their parents, recognizing Kate and Ruby's work as out of the ordinary has required some adjustment for dad.
"We've been used to seeing (their paintings) all their lives, so I didn't have any perspective. We've had some pictures here and hung them up and someone would come in and say, 'that's really good,' so I'll take their word," Roger said.
As far as plans for the future, Kate said she has a favorite book she wants to read.
"Magic Kittens," she said.
Ruby has thought a little farther ahead.
"I think I'm going to go to college for something else and do art in my free time to make a little extra money."
Ruby and Kate Walsberg's paintings will be on exhibit at the Vanilla Bean through Dec. 31. Both girls have cards for sale at Buddy's Mercantile, and Ruby has prints available at Buddy's, too. According to Roger Walsberg, the Scenic Café plans to continue using Ruby's paintings as the art on their menus.

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 12/12/2013 - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
Firefighters believe a lit candle left unattended may be responsible for a fire that claimed two mobile homes in southwest Pueblo.
The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office says a man living in one of the homes left a candle burning in his apartment while he visited a neighboring trailer. When he returned a short time later, flames were already spreading inside his home. The flames soon spread to a second trailer. All occupants were able to get out safely.
The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office says the people living in the mobile homes are father and son.
One of the men tried to get some belongings from the burning home and was overcome with smoke. He was taken to the hospital as a precaution.
As the fire consumed both homes, a plume of smoke could be seen from several miles away.
Firefighters were able to get the fire contained quickly once on scene, but say that both homes are a total loss.
The homes are located on the 4500 block of W. 12th, which is near the Nature Center.
The homes are not in a fire protection zone, so firefighters only had the water they brought with them. They were out there through the afternoon watering down hot spots.

text: thursday, april 10 look here Okay, so maybe you're having a crappy day, or it's raining too much, or not raining enough, or life has got you down in a vague, oppressing general way ... so then look at this! Ha ha ha! And then, you can see what me and my classmates looked like the day we skipped class and went to the pub! Well, we didn't exactly skip class, we invited the teacher too. I can't take any responsibility if these pictures don't make you feel just the slightest bit better. posted at 1:42 PM monday, april 7 It's raining, but the trees are in bloom. I had a wee nap on one of the couches at school, the kind of nap where you keep twitching yourself awake. I'm becoming known for napping, it's a very helpful skill towards the end of term. I like to think of it as 'crisis' napping, where a little snooze functions as my restart switch. And then I am all focused and alert when I wake up, it's better than a cup of coffee, unless you've been drooling on yourself. That gives it away a little bit. posted at 6:46 PM saturday, april 5 Go see the ceramics show in the Emily Carr concourse gallery this next week. There's quite a few pieces to keep an eye out for. One artist uses the same deep glazes you find on japanese plates, blues and yellows, in a piece called "Tidal Pool" and a set of three called "Prickly Fruit". Each piece has rough, constructed exteriors to set off the inner glazes. The two little cups/bowls that accompany the prickly fruit piece glow. They would be beautiful as sake cups, or vases for tiny, tiny one blossom ikebana displays. There's also a set of tires on the gallery floor, realistic and rubbery enough enough that I almost gave one of them a boot with my toe as I walked past, until on the way back from the cafeteria I realized they were ceramic. And another artist has created a naughty set of ceramic panels that makes up a bustier, accompanied by a futuristic ray gun, panties and some little fur-lined case, which could be the ray gun holster, or perhaps some little sex toy repository. She's screened photographs onto the panels and then glazed them. It's wicked. Go check it out, and then get a cup of coffee at J.J. Beans and watch all the tourists from Hong Kong get off from the tour buses with masks on their faces. posted at 11:42 AM wednesday, april 2 So I made this toque, just now, for a class assignment. I translated a simple HTML page into binary code, which then I knitted into panels using knit (0) and purl (http://www.trickypup.com/spacer.gif) (like, duh, how easy was that to figure out?). I used a dark grey for the background colour and a bright blue for the panels. I made it into a square toque cos then the corners look like little ears when they stick up. Yes, I am a geek. And if I get a picture of it sometime soon, I will post it for you all to see. School is a bit nuts right now, so there may be few posts between now and the end of this month. posted at 2:06 PM tuesday, march 25 oops My e-mail address in the last post wasn't working. I've fixed it now, and for those of you who did send me an e-mail, your suggestions have been very insightful and have given me tons of ideas for my paper. I really appreciate the great info! If you do want to get in touch with me, it's tricky pup AT telus dot net, or use the little clicky e-mail link thing under the nav bar to the left. posted at 5:11 PM |

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway posted first-quarter earnings Friday that doubled versus last year, buoyed by gains in its insurance businesses and derivatives holdings.
The company posted $3.25 billion in earnings, translating to $1,966 per Class A share, compared with $1.51 billion in the first quarter of last year.
Operating earnings, which exclude some investment and derivative gains, were $1,615 a share, coming up short of the $1,780 prediction from analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters.
Berkshire owns more than 80 companies, including insurer Geico, chemical company Lubrizol, railroad company Burlington Northern Santa Fe and MidAmerican Energy.
The firm also holds stakes in companies like Bank of America, Kraft Foods and Johnson & Johnson, and it surprised some observers last year with a foray into the tech world, buying shares of Intel, IBM and DirecTV.
Berkshire booked gains from its insurance businesses, after the sector was battered early last year by disasters including the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The firm's manufacturing, service and retail businesses were also a source of strength, as were its derivatives bets.
Class A shares closed at $121,950 Friday, while Class B shares finished at $80.94. Both were flat in after-hours trading.
Berkshire's shareholders will gather in Nebraska on Saturday for the company's annual meeting, where the so-called Oracle of Omaha will likely face questions about his health and his succession plans.
In a letter to shareholders last month, Buffett disclosed that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, though the 81-year-old claimed the condition "is not remotely life-threatening or even debilitating in any meaningful way." Additional tests, he added, didn't reveal incidence of cancer anywhere else in his body.
Buffett has yet to publicly reveal a succession plan, though he says he has already informed Berkshire's board about his preferred candidates. Upon his departure, Buffett's job will be divided between a CEO in charge of operations and one or more executives in charge of investments.
Buffett has said that two investment managers who recently joined the company, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, "will be handling a few billion dollars in 2012, but they have the brains, judgment and character to manage our entire portfolio" when he and Berkshire vice chairman Charlie Munger are no longer running the company.
Ajit Jain, who heads the firm's reinsurance business, has been mentioned by Berkshire-watchers as a possible successor on the operations side.
Buffett's son, Howard, is in line to follow as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway upon his father's death, though Howard will not be involved in strategy or day-to-day decisions.
Berkshire shares had a rare down year in 2011, slipping 4.7%, even as the broader market stayed mostly flat. Over the past two decades, the company's stock has gained more than thirteen-fold, while the S&P 500 Index is up about three-fold.

Victims' family, Nodarse take stand in Borizov trial
WHEATON – Angela and Anthony Kramer relived the night their family was attacked in their Darien home during testimony this week in the trial of Johnny Borizov, who is accused of orchestrating the city's infamous triple murder in March 2010.
The siblings' mother and father, Lori and Jeff, along with brother Michael, were murdered nearly three years ago. Angela survived while hiding in her closet and dialing 911, while Anthony was in this room in the basement.
Borizov has been charged with murder, solicitation of murder and conspiracy after allegedly convincing his mentally ill friend, Jacob Nodarse, to kill the Kramer family. Nodarse has pleaded guilty in the crimes.

Your feet are the foundation of your body. If your feet are out of alignment, it can cause problems throughout your body's skeletal structure. When the arch is fully collapsed or rolls inward, you have flat feet, meaning you're missing crucial arch support. People with flat feet must therefore shift pressure from walking to other parts of the foot, which can cause intense pain. If left untreated, flat feet not only cause pain, but can lead to other more serious foot and lower body joint problems.
Flat feet can be present at birth or develop at an early age, and are often hereditary.
In some people, however, they develop as a symptom of foot abuse that can develop from any of the following:
The biggest signs of flat feet are discomfort and pain. As the normal arch begins to drop, walking can become very uncomfortable. The foot can also turn outward at the ankle, causing a walk that's concentrated on the inner border of the foot.
Due to the less supportive structure of a flat foot, postural strain and misalignment through the foot, ankle, knee and lower back can cause consistent daily discomfort.
The depression of the arch in the foot also puts more strain on the ligament and tendons that support the foot and ankle, and over time, the bones may collapse. Flat feet can therefore lead to heel spurs, ankle sprains, hip and lower back pain, and even contribute to the development of arthritis.
In most people, flat feet can be treated with proper shoes. Look for shoes that:
Also, consider using custom orthotics to aid in arch support.
In extreme cases, surgery may be required to stabilize the bones and improve foot support and function. A podiatrist or orthopedic doctor will decide if surgery is necessary.

This last beta test will introduce their new PvP experiences, along with all content from previous betas. It's important to note that this beta is open to everyone provided they register before June 22, so if you have your eye on giving it a try before you buy, you've got around twenty-four hours or so to put your name down. Head over here for all the details.

Community Comparison Haddonfield, NJ vs. Burneside, UK
By Jack
Today I will be writing about Haddonfield, NJ and Burneside, Cambria, England. At first my class Skyped with Mr. Humble's year 5 class and I looked at the Internet to find more information.
First I will write about the differences between people in Haddonfield, NJ and Burneside, England. Number one I live in Haddonfield which is in North America and Mr. Hubble's class live in Europe. Number two we [AKA USA] have a president and they have a Queen.
These are some of the ways that Haddonfield and Burneside are the same! Number one we all live on Earth. Number two we all are people and we breath. Number three we all play work and we all eat! Number four we all play or some do play soccer [AKA football].
Now you have learned about Haddonfield, NJ and Burneside, England are a little different and a little bit the same. I like this project a lot and I hope you did too.
