Gold Leaf memories
This product is a soft fragrance and lingers lightly through the day. My sweet mama loved the scent and we always had it for her. I missed it for a short time after her death, then wanted it for myself. I an very pleased with the soft lotion and the memories it brings me.

A friend introduced me to Gold Leaf several years ago with a gift, since then it is all I use. The fragrance is wonderful, never overpowering. The lotion is light but very effective in keeping my skin moisturized. I have allergies and am sensitive to many products, I can wear Gold Leaf even in the midst of allergy season. I am often complimented on how good I smell. Purchasing it online was easy, I will definitely continue to shop this way.
My favorite scent.
Goldleaf is the one scent that is constant among my Thymes choices. I have tried many of the different fragrances over the years and have my favorites, but Goldleaf is the one fragrance that I always have in my lotion basket. Love it!
perfect products!
wonderful fragrance that lasts for hours
Gold leaf
This is the only body cream I use! It has a very clean smell. However with the Christmas rush my order went to someone else & I got a different order with someone else's receipt , but addressed to me. This has never happened to me! I will still order my favorite body creams even though they discontinued sweet baby leaf. ( my other favorite) . I will report this mixup Monday.

Some like it hot: Collaborative event combines art, musicWritten by Matt Liasse | | email@example.com
Last September, the owners of Gathered Art Gallery and Studios recorded the sounds made during the glass blowing process. The recordings were then used to compose music.
"We noticed, as glassblowers, what we do makes sounds, and they think about sounds like that in more of a musical fashion," co-owner Adam Goldberg said. "We got into production mode and were making this racket, and then the musicians, the improvisers, played with it."
For the second year, music and art will come together for Two Hot, an event at Gathered Art Gallery and Studios, 23 N. Huron St. The event is a collaborative effort between the gallery and ADJ·ective New Music. It will be free and open to the public at 7 p.m. Jan. 24, including glass blowing performances and live music from guest artists Elise Roy on flute and Matt Younglove on saxophone.
The recorded sounds include glass breaking on the floor, heat kicking on in the kilns and rods being used. The music featuring the recorded sounds will be played during glassblowing demonstrations at the event. Goldberg said glassblowing is performance art in and of itself.
Seven composers each created five-minute pieces with the recorded sounds, manipulating them to the point where a listener may not recognize them as hot shop sounds.
"They've made them longer, they've stretched them out, or they've made them shorter so it's just a quick sound," ADJ·ective New Music's Director of Artistic Development Jamie Leigh Sampson said. "They've made new and interesting rhythms with the stuff that we did recording in the hot shop."
Sampson said the composers' favorite to use was the sound of sweeping glass from the floor.
"Almost everyone used [that sound]," Sampson said. "Because all of the different pieces of glass each have their own pitch as they are being brushed across the floor. They create their own vibrations."
Sampson met the owners of Gathered Art in August 2012 at an open house, which the gallery hosts every month. Sampson, who lived in Bowling Green at the time, brought up partnering on an event.
"I think we were here all of 20 minutes and we said, 'Hey, we want to have a concert here,'" Sampson said. "It kind of grew from there."
ADJ·ective New Music officially became a business in 2010 with the primary goal of promoting new music "in its many facets," Sampson said. Sampson, along with Andrew Martin Smith and Molly Swope Fidler, strive to "introduce contemporary music to new audiences in the concert hall, studio and classroom through group and private instruction, music production and event presentation in Northwest Ohio," according to its website, adjectivenewmusicllc.com.
Different glass pieces, made in the studio, will be on display during the event. All the artists featured in the studio have ties to Toledo – whether they lived here before or currently do.
Gathered Art opened in April 2012, owned by Goldberg, Mike Stevens and Eli Lipman. According to its website, the gallery aims to "create an environment where artists and community members alike come together and draw from each other's knowledge and creativity."
The gallery sponsors regular workshops at which attendees can make items like paperweights, mugs and a variety of seasonal items.
The two businesses hope to plan more events together in the years to come. Last year, their event attracted close to 150 people. This year, there will be food and entertainment for all ages, Goldberg said.

Facebook for iPhone 3.2.2 -- Login fixed?
Facebook promised a fix for ailing iPhone users and here it (apparently is) -- Facebook for iPhone 3.2.2.
They claim it fixes the login issue, which seems to have been primarily caused by conflicts with some Jailbreak apps.
We'll let you be the judges of that, however. Working now?

Facebook for iPhone 3.2.2 -- Login fixed?
biteSMS users rejoice! Love it! Thank u FB!!
Well just before the update I couldn't log into FB on the app, I didn't try through safari.
Now after updating I can't log in/refresh on the app, and I get the following error when going to FB thru safari.
This page contains the following errors:
error on line 55 at column 16: StartTag: invalid element name
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
i think it's really cool that FB recognized a problem with a jailbroken app and chose to patch the inconsistency VERY promptly. the recently passed legislation was obviously at work here as i do not see this happening 1 or 2 years ago. even the BITE SMS devs were saying that a fix from FB was going to be a longshot last week. jailbreaking has come quite a long way...
Never had a log in problem. My problem is that I have to log in then log out then log in to be able to see my profile, my pages, friend requests, or to see who is online. Already uninstalled and reinstalled. Did notice something odd. Happened kind of quick so not sure but it looked like a notification bar appeared at the bottom of my live feed with an update. This would be a nice feature without having to go to the menu page.
Tried the new update, everything works but viewing notifications. Reported bug through app store and re-downgraded to 3.1.4. Someday they'll get it right.
working perfectly with bitesms up and running
I believe this is one of the such a lot vital info for me. And i'm satisfied studying your article. But want to statement on some basic issues, The web site style is ideal, the articles is really great : D. Good process, cheers

Order now to get 10% Off during our Early Bird Special! Our products focus on educating and promoting bully & drug free schools, with new and exclusive themes such as "United We Stand Against Bullying & Drugs" and "I 'Mustache' You Not To Do Drugs."
This October, celebrate Red Ribbon Week, a time to spread awareness on the dangers of bullying, drug and tobacco use. Teaching kids good habits early is critical to future success, and Red Ribbon Week shows them that living above the influence of others can be the best way to live a happy life.
Our Red Ribbon Week materials focus on education and information for your anti-bullying programs. The best weapon in the fight against bullying, cyber bullying, drugs, and tobacco is other children. When kids see others their age engaging in bullying, they should not be afraid to tell an adult. In schools and on playgrounds, there's no better pair of eyes than those of their peers. Vigilant kids can go a long way towards protecting their friends and combating bullies.
Like all of the causes we support, Red Ribbon Week spreads an amazingly positive message. We'll help your children support this message with wristbands, water bottles, stationery, and of course, red ribbons. Whatever you choose, our promotional materials make this a fun and educational week for kids.

In the early part of the Second World War as England faced the very real prospect of a full scale German invasion.
However, this invasion was effectively canceled by Hitler in September 1940.
Although the invasion had been called off, the bombing of London continued and if you take one of the many London walks routes that follows the trail of destruction caused by the bombing you get some idea of the sheer task that faced Londoners as they attempted to fend off these attacks.
From 18 September 1940 the Luftwaffe tried to reduce losses by only mounting night raids, and these continued without break until November, by which time London had been bombed continuously for fifty-two days.
Poor weather in late November and early December brought a brief respite, and as Christmas came and went it seemed that the Luftwaffe was on holiday. It was an illusion.
It is time to turn to the scene on the ground in England. Preparations for the defence of Britain against air attack were put in hand after the Munich conference of 1938.
Trenches were dug in public parks in London, gas masks issued to the entire population, air raid drills organized. The actual planning of Civil Defence was delegated to the different County authorities, some of which did much, others virtually nothing.
A reason for the lack of activity on the part of many County Councils was the anticipated results of civilian bombardment. The Government, heavily influenced by the works of such theorists as the French Air General Douhet, believed that the effects of civilian bombing would be cataclysmic and that preparations to protect civilians would be useless: the only thing to do was to prepare for mass burials, injuries, etc., and contemplate how best order could be maintained in the breakdown of local civilian government that would surely follow city bombing.
A clear idea of the popular image of civilian bombing can be drawn from the 1938 Alexander Korda production of H G Wells's The Shape of Things To Come. The Home Office, believing that there would be 20,000 civilian dead within the first week of the bombing of London, was largely concerned with the ordering of cardboard coffins, and very few purpose-built bomb shelters were constructed before the Blitz actually began.
However, the County government of London was a different matter. London County Council (LCC) was under the control of the Labour Party led by Herbert Morrison (later Lord Morrison of Lambeth). The LCC was politically at odds with the government, strongly anti-fascist and not at all convinced by Prime Minister Chamberlain's assurances of 'peace in our time'.
The LCC consulted with veterans of the British Battalion of the International Brigade, which had fought in the Spanish Civil War. These veterans, led by Tom Wintringham, had experienced the bombing of Madrid by the Italian and German bombers of Mussolini and Hitler, and so had some idea of the likely outcome of such attacks and what could be done to minimize casualties.
They advised Morrison that the decisive matter was the reorganization of the Fire Brigade and its expansion to deal with the task ahead.
Morrison heeded this advice. Twenty-eight thousand men and women were recruited to the Auxiliary Fire Brigade and given a brief training course, after which they returned to their regular occupations to await the emergency.
The LCC ordered several thousand trailer fire pumps and began the construction of 300 sub-fire stations (the peacetime strength of the LCC Fire Brigade was approximately 4,000 firefighters based on 30 fire stations).
The LCC also ordered the manufacture of shelters which could be constructed within the home; steel frames into which three or four people could huddle and so, hopefully, survive the collapse of the building above them. These shelters were known as 'Morrison Shelters' and were later to be superseded by the government issue 'Anderson Shelter' which could be constructed in a back garden.
Plans were also commenced to recruit Air Raid Wardens and Heavy Rescue Squads (to dig people out of the ruins); church, school and other halls were marked down for use as local information centres, temporary accommodation for those made homeless by the bombing, etc. Companies were instructed to designate certain employees as fire- watchers and first line fire fighters for their premises.
The net result of these and other plans was that London was, if not fully equipped to deal with the onslaught, better prepared than most of the rest of the country.
The Fire Brigade was reorganized throughout the entire London region (which was more extensive than the London County area), with Sir Aylmer Firebrace appointed as Regional Fire Officer commanding sixty-six Fire Brigades from his underground control room at London Fire Brigade headquarters in Lambeth.
Our story of the London Blitz will cotinue in tomorrows blog. But for now why not peruse our previous blogs or just read through the rest of the site for a choice of the exciting and fascinating London walks that we offer.

Houston, Tx.-based Service Corporation International (SCI) is proud to announce the acquisition of Quattlebaum Funeral and Cremation Services located in West Palm Beach, Fla. Quattlebaum is now a part of the Dignity Memorial® network of funeral providers, allowing it to expand upon its long tradition of high quality funeral services and personal attention to the Palm Beach County community.
|The Quattlebaum family chose to put the one-acre property in the hands of PBA instead of making it part of the transaction with SCI.
The high standard of service that is a hallmark of Quattlebaum Funeral and Cremation Services will be fully evident under the SCI umbrella and further enhanced with SCI's extensive resources and multiple locations. The Quattlebaum family members who have run the company for years will remain in key management positions. They include siblings Greg Quattlebaum as a general manager; Gary Quattlebaum as a location manager; Gale Q. Schiffman as an office manager; and Mrs. Earl Quattlebaum (Phyllis) as an ambassador. The family is working closely with SCI to ensure a smooth transition for the families they serve, and SCI will fulfill all of Quattlebaum customers pre-arranged funeral contracts.
G. Earl Quattlebaum and partners W. Joe Holleman and Aubrey A. Burse founded the company now known as Quattlebaum Funeral and Cremation Services in 1955 and the company quickly became renowned for the quality of its services and its focus on community betterment. Today the company is viewed as one of the leading funeral service providers in Palm Beach County dedicated to the highest levels of professionalism, integrity, fairness and excellence.
"The Quattlebaum family has proudly served this community for generations," said Greg Quattlebaum. "Now, as part of the Dignity Memorial network, our family and service professionals will be able to meet the needs of our client families better than ever, offering new benefits and multiple locations around Palm Beach County through this highly respected national network."
The Quattlebaum family specifically chose to sell its downtown location to Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBA) instead of making the property part of the transaction with SCI. The approximately one-acre parcel sits in the middle of PBA's 27-acre campus, and with that key piece the campus is expected to be able to advance its campus master plan.
"The Quattlebaum family has been a wonderful, caring neighbor to five decades of Palm Beach Atlantic students," said University President William M. B. Fleming, Jr. "They have been concerned daily with our students' welfare and safety."
"The property, located in the heart of the Palm Beach Atlantic campus, is a strategic area of the campus master plan. It is one of the final puzzle pieces to fall into place for our beautiful urban campus," President Fleming said.
President Fleming added that plans to develop the property have yet to be determined pending review by the Board of Trustees and the University's administration.
Service Corporation International, headquartered in Houston, Texas, is North America's leading provider of death care products and services. As of March, 2013, it owned and operated 1,437 funeral homes and 374 cemeteries (of which 213 are combination locations) in 43 states, eight Canadian provinces and the District of Columbia. Through SCI's businesses, they market the Dignity Memorial brand which offers assurance of quality, value, caring service and exceptional customer satisfaction.

Speed and time play a critical role when it comes to diagnosing and treating patients with suspected heart attacks.
Now, in a step to advance the evaluation of chest pain patients,
Trident Health System has launched a new initiative intended to accelerate the rate at which the doctors can accurately and efficiently diagnose patients with suspected heart attacks.
"Time is muscle. The longer we wait to treat, the more the heart muscle is damaged and every minute can make a significant difference in the patient's life," said Dr. Baird Oldfield, Emergency Medicine Physician at Trident Health System.
"Therefore, earlier diagnosis can play a critical role in helping us streamline the process of evaluating our chest pain patients, thus enabling faster and more effective treatment, which leads to better and more timely care."
To improve diagnosis, physicians are using an accelerated care pathway that calls for repeated measurements of three cardiac markers over a period of several hours.
The markers are emitted into a patient's bloodstream when heart muscle damage occurs. By monitoring increases and declines in the marker levels, physicians can accurately determine whether a heart attack has occurred.
To enable rapid testing of cardiac markers, Trident Health System, has implemented the Triage® Cardiac System, manufactured by Biosite® Incorporated. The 15-minute blood test measures the levels of CK-MB, myoglobin and troponin I.
The portable device is small enough to be used near the patient, ensuring that diagnostic information is readily accessible.
Traditionally, the doctor will diagnose a patient with suspected heart attack using established World Health Organization (WHO) criteria based on two of the following criteria: a positive electrocardiogram (ECG), patient history and measurements of serum cardiac markers.
However, patient history is highly-subjective and electrocardiograms are non-diagnostic in at least half of all the heart attacks. Therefore, monitoring the level of cardiac makers can play a critical role in helping physicians diagnose heart attacks.
An estimated ten million Americans visit hospital emergency rooms each year exhibiting symptoms of a heart attack.
However, a patient experiencing chest pain is not necessarily having a heart attack. Between two and 13 percent of all acute heart attacks are misdiagnosed, and the patients are inappropriately discharged – with a subsequent mortality rate of nearly twenty-five percent. According to American Heart Association, the cost of treating patients with coronary heart disease in the United States in 2005 is estimated at more than $142 billion.

When I was growing up there was a picture of my great-grandmother hanging in my grandparents house. I never paid much attention to it, but one day I found a copy of her obituary and that piqued my curiosity, and I began a life-long search to find my ancestors. Who were they, what were their professions, where did they come from, and why and when did they immigrate to America? How did historical events affect their lives?
Genealogy is one of the most popular hobbies in the world. It is thought to be second only to gardening. According to an article on the website www.archives.com, about 87% of American adults are interested in learning about their family history.
When I first started my search there was no Internet. Hard to imagine, isnt it? I lived in the Washington, D.C. area and was able to use microfilm records at the National Archives. Ill never forget the thrill the first time I saw my great-grandmothers name in a census record. I visited North Carolina local libraries and courthouses to look at records. I sent countless letters and made many long-distance phone calls to people who shared surnames of my ancestors. I tramped through cemeteries hunting for tombstones. At the end of a long dirt road I found the abandoned farmhouse where my grandmother was born. I even discovered that a long-time friend and I are related.
After the airing of the mini-series Roots (based on the book by Alex Haley), genealogy became extremely popular, and there were lines of people waiting to use the microfilm readers at the National Archives. People were able to find more and more information about how to trace their family history.
Today with new technology, millions of records are being preserved and digitalized. Ancestry.com has volunteers around the world helping to find and preserve records, making them available online. Currently there are millions of records available for viewing online, and most people begin their search on the Internet. Some genealogy websites charge a fee, but there are many that are free. Its almost a necessity to be computer-literate to search for your ancestors.
Are you interested in learning about your familys history? The most important thing to begin with is interviewing your relatives to find out as much as they can remember.
Next, a visit to your library is essential. The Charleston County Public Library has many how-to books to help you get started. There are two important databases that we offer: Ancestry.com Library Edition and Heritage Quest. Heritage Quest can be accessed from your home computer and Ancestry.com is available on the librarys public computers. Federal Census Records (1790-1940) are available on both of these databases. The South Carolina Room at the Main Library has many genealogy books and resources. Items must be used in the South Carolina Room.
If youve been bitten by the Genealogy Bug, well be glad to help you get started by showing you our books and databases. Let us help you start the climb up your family tree.

Which maps app are you using on your iPhone? [Poll]
We all know the timeline by now. Apple replaced Google as the location data provider in iOS 6 Maps. It didn't work out as well as Apple intended. Apple was forced to apologize and recommend alternative maps apps. Nokia released HERE maps for iOS. And now Google has released Google Maps for iOS.
According to Google's VP of Geo and Commerce Jeff Huber, the app had been downloaded an astounding 10 million times in the first 48 hours since its release. Now, raw download numbers indicate a high level of interest, but they don't tell us how many people tried them an liked them enough to keep using them.
That's where you come in.
Which maps app are you currently using on iOS 6? Are you sticking with Apple Maps? Have you switched to Nokia HERE or Google Maps? Have you resisted upgrading to keep iOS 5 apps? Or are you using something else entirely? Vote in our poll up top and elaborate in the comments below!

Which maps app are you using on your iPhone? [Poll]
"Apple also announced that 100 million iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads have updated to iOS 6 since it was released on September 19." That was posted on iMore, September 24th. So, 100 million iOS 6 upgrades in just five days.
Go ask macrumors, that's where you got that right?
Absolutely still using Google maps! I feel much more confident that my searches will actually pull relevant results, and I won't be sent walking in the wrong direction. Also...having transit directions back has been a game changer.
It's funny, to me the new Google Maps looks identical to re Apple Maps. I never had a problem with Apple Maps in Australia and thought it was certainly better than the old google maps.
However, the Tom Tom app is still far superior for driving directions than either Apple or Googles offerings as it shows current speed, estimated time of arrival and a tap on the screen repeats the last VoiceOver direction.
+1 for me too! Waze rules for commuting.
Switched the post to a poll so we can get some indication from you guys what you're using now.
(I'm using both Google and Apple Maps, as they're both proving a little quirky, though differently so, in my area)
I'm using both. Google maps is nice but it drains battery faster, doesn't link to contacts and doesn't seem to run on a locked screen like ios6 maps.
I voted for Google Maps because I use it the most, but I also use iOS6 maps when not looking for a Point-of-interest.
A bit of both. Google Maps obviously has a better POI database (seriously Apple, your POI database doesn't even match Yelp, what are you using TomTom Places???), but I don't really like the Google Maps interface and in particular the driving directions just shows an animated form of their normal maps, which is too detailed to be safely useful while driving.
Also what is it with the Androidification of IOS apps recently? Google Maps, Dropbox and a few others. I though there were supposed to be design guidelines and it is jarring to get all these different UI elements.
I did download Google Maps it works just fine. I love her voice, much better than Siri's. Told me to turn a little early but no big difference. I will test it more. Lock screen availability is missing. It looks pretty, but I'm driving so I don't really care what a map looks like, as long as I don't get lost!
I have not had too many problems with Apple Maps in my area, provided I give it an actual address. However, Google Maps is far, *FAR* better for location/point of interest search, and, since perhaps 90% of my maps usage is looking for something, THEN getting directions to it, I use Google Maps now.
Idk in the US but at least in Mexico apple maps was a mess! im glad we've got back google maps :)
The Poll is missing. I am using Apple maps because Google maps tracks you (while claiming it doesn't), collects personal info (while claiming that it's "anonymous"), constantly nags you to sign in and denies you features of the app until you do.
It has transit directions, but they are not as accurate as the old Apple maps ones were, and are often just missing for some unknown reason. They are also presented in list form which is not helpful at all IMO and there doesn't seem any way to make them actually show on the map as they did in the original Apple iOS maps.
The new Apple maps are not very good at all, but Googles maps, despite having access to the better data of Apple's original mapping app, seem less accurate and much more difficult to use overall IMO.
Fortunately for me, Apple maps works fine...in fact, Apple maps via Siri saved my bacon in Philadelphia the other day, so I don't have any complaints so far. I also don't use transit, so that wasn't a big miss for me.
I downloaded Google maps to try it out and I don't notice any difference in routing...in fact, both of them make the same mistake at the end of my street (there is a 'No left turn', and neither seem to know about it). I'd also argue that Google maps is less attractive and a bit clunkier than Apple maps, but that comes down to preference.
I recently bought a 4s, came with 5 upgraded to 6. How do you tell which map you have?
iOS 5 and lower - Google Data in an Apple App
iOS 6 - Apple Maps (data and app) unless you specifically install and use an alternative
I use both iOS 6 Apple Maps *and* Google Maps. Google Maps traffic view is a MUST for me. Inrix Traffic app is nice, but I still prefer the view & how the Google Maps app/web app handles showing me traffic.
I rarely need turn-by-turn directions (I don't get out much)...but when I do need them, Siri/Apple Maps is far superior at this point. I listen to a lot of audio in the car, be it from Instacast or the Music app, and the Google Maps turn-by-turn voice directions don't work nearly as nicely or as well as the Apple Maps/Siri directions do. So I use both.
Google Maps App on my un-jailbroken iPad 3 (where Apple Maps is just eye-candy).
Stock Google Maps on my jail-broken iOS 5.0.1 iPhone 4 (which I haven't yet updated to the Google Maps App's minimum required iOS version -- iOS 5.1).
There was never a need to update my iPhone to iOS 6 -- Apple decided the iPhone 4 doesn't get access to any of the major new features, like Siri, Sky View, and Panorama anyway (boo - hiss!) or even 5.1 one, till now.
Funny how Google managed to get both excellent on-device voice parsing and voice-guided navigation to work on the iPhone 4; but Apple claims it isn't powerful enough to enable those features natively. This kind of thing is why Google continues to earn my business over and over again (and by 'my business' I mean, of course, complete access to all of my personal information).
That, and Google Maps has allowed me to plot all of my running paths and trails in my local parks and enabled them to be used by all (after approval) when searching walking directions; so I can get accurate distance measurements of all the off-road courses I run.
Already tried out the Google Maps the other day. Still prefer Apple's Maps.
I use Waze.

Think about 3-4 favorite singers or bands. Go to Google Sets, enter each artist name in an input box and click on "Large set" button. Hopefully, Google Sets, that uses artificial intelligence to predict other items similar to the ones already entered, will show you a big list of related artists.
Then go to Radio.Blog.Club and see if Google was right. Enter the artists you aren't familiar with and listen to their music.

I know this has been asked in the past, but no numbers were ever collated.
Why the 6.8 SPC? Two main reasons - it performs close to the .308 out to 400 yards, and does this in a smaller bullet (.277 aka 270 caliber) and a smaller cartridge that fits in an AR magazine. It fills that gap of needing .308 performance at "normal" ranges but in a smaller, lighter package.
The cartridge parent case is the (obsolete) .30 Remington that has been shortened to fit inside an AR15 magazine. New and once-fired brass is available for those like me who reload... making this a more economically lucrative prospect. Reloading supplies are easily obtained for this round... standard .270 bullets are used. Barrels are readily available from the major sources.
The limitations to this cartridge are the size of the base, which is approximately .418" diameter. That's based off of the 6.8 cases I have in my brass collection, not off of a website. The only bolt that is close enough for this to work as a conversion would be the .223 bolt face. The 7.62x39 and .308 bolt faces are simply too large. I do not know what are the chamber pressures for the 5.45x39, so I am hesitant to list that as an available platform for conversion. I do not know if the metal is of a different grade than the .223 AK bolts, however visually they are nearly identical in all dimensions. I for one would stay focused on the .223 platform since that is readily available in today's market. If I can find some chamber pressure info for the 5.45, this may make it onto the list. The .223 bolt face could be opened up larger on a lathe as well as the extractor and you would have your 6.8 bolt!
Since this cartridge was tailored to fit inside an AR magazine, it goes without saying that a .223 magazine would be the ideal base magazine. As some of you may already know, I have been converted an AR follower to work in a .223 AK magazine, so I know this magazine conversion is doable, even if special followers are required.
Most importantly, the chamber pressures as listed on the Hodgdon Powder website place this right at the 50,000 PSI mark, making this an acceptable cartridge for use in a .223 action such as a Saiga .223 or Galil.
The default bullet sizes seem to be standardized on 115 grain, but different grain loads are available.
Generally speaking, the "smaller, shorter magnum" concept that spawned this cartridge seems to be a natural fit for conversion to an AK platform.
A few references:
The 6.8 SPC Directory - 6.8mm Remington SPC Ammo, Bullets, Rifles
Cartridge Loads - Hodgdon Reloading Data Center - data.hodgdon.com

Now, do I use my Galil parts kit to make a 6.8, or... ?

Cool Technology is Saving Lives...
Imagine having your life saved by a cooling device applied by the health care experts at Palmetto Health Heart Hospital. That's just what happened to Marty Bradley who suffered a cardiac arrest.
Upon arrival at the hospital Bradley was unresponsive and taken directly to the catheterization lab before being moved to the Coronary Care Unit. There he was treated with the Arctic Sun, a device that helps to prevent brain injury in cardiac arrest patients and allows them better outcomes after the event.
The Arctic Sun has pads that cover 40 percent of the body's surface and mimics being immersed in ice water. This cutting-edge device is used by critical care specialists to significantly lower the body temperature of patients who have suffered cardiac arrest from heart-related causes, had a heat stroke, or experienced brain swelling after a stroke. Lowering the body temperature in this way decreases the amount of oxygen the brain uses among other things, thus protecting the brain and limiting permanent brain damage. When the body is re-warmed, more patients survive with improved neurological function which is why the Palmetto Health Richland has invested in three of the devices, covering the ER, MICU and CCU.
Mr. Bradley's heart rhythm did not return for 30 minutes, yet with the Arctic Sun's assistance, he came out of the traumatic experience feeling as well as he did prior to the cardiac arrest. "I am so pleased with my outcome. I feel just like I did before," says Mr. Bradley, "and, I am so thankful that I was able to take advantage of this technology. I believe if it hadn't been for the Arctic Sun, I wouldn't be here today."


text: He's 85 this year and just had another back surgery this winter. Good thing is it has really helped with his mobility already. He use to only be able to walk 50-75 yards before needing to sit down because of the pain. Well we have talked for years about doing a hunt out west and it just never seemed to pan out. I would like to take him in 2014 Heath permitting of course on a cow elk hunt. Might have to settle for antelope but I know he always had a passion for elk. So what state would one recomend that has left over tags or easy tags for a cow and what unit? With his age I might have to go through a outfitter to get on private land where we might be able to get a little closer. Any suggestions?

About These Courses
As Buddhist teachings and meditation find an increasingly strong presence within various parts of American society, there is both an opportunity and a need to train people from all walks of life in the merging of contemplative practices with caring for those who are elderly, ill or dying.
The San Francisco Zen Center offers these courses to provide an introduction to caregiving from a Buddhist perspective. This is a unique opportunity to study Buddhist principles and practices relevant to spiritual caregiving, as well as receive an introduction to the psychological, social and ethical issues related to caregiving.
Mindfulness practices and Buddhist teachings on compassion are the theoretical framework of the Contemplative Caregiver Courses. Each course is focused on a particular dimension of caregiving.
Each course can be taken separately, in any order. Take all three courses as a yearlong program and receive a contemplative caregiver certificate. CE credits are available.
We appreciate that some people need support in discerning if this course is appropriate for them. Calls or emails are welcome: 415-354-0360 or

Contemplative Caregiver Courses 2015
at Beyond Measure School for Contemplative Care.
Contemplative care encompasses the breadth of our innate caregiving capacity with the depth of meditative wisdom and universal compassion. Contemplative care is more a way of care than a how or what. It brings the gifts of contemplative practice to the knowledge, skills, and best practices of caregiving.
The Contemplative Caregiver Courses are a collaboration between Jennifer Block, founder of Beyond Measure School for Contemplative Care, and San Francisco Zen Center, with Susan O'Connell, President, as the primary vision holder. This curriculum will inform the Zen-inspired senior living community currently being developed by San Francisco Zen Center.

Gerald Robinson items for sale on 'murderabilia' websiteWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
A well-known "true crime collectables" website is offering a set of items related to Toledo priest Gerald Robinson's funeral.
The one-time lot, priced at $350, includes a photograph of Robinson in his casket, soil from Robinson's burial plot, a memorial card from Robinson's funeral and a copy of the July 12 Blade featuring an article about the funeral.
The listing, titled "Gerald Robinson 'When Satan Wore a Cross' Funeral Lot," can be found online at serialkillersink.net.
Serial Killers Ink, a nationally known website based in Florida, is brokering the items on behalf of Toledoan Dan Clay, founder of Grave Fixations, which offers local crime scene and graveyard tours.
Robinson died July 4 in a prison hospice facility. He was serving a sentence of 15 years to life for the 1980 murder of Sister Margaret Ann Pahl, for which he was arrested in 2004 and convicted in 2006.
Robinson's funeral prompted controversy as local Catholic officials announced he would be given a priest's funeral. Although he was no longer permitted to take part in public ministry activities, he remained a priest while appeals of his conviction were ongoing. Appeals were still pending at the time of his death.
Clay brought a camera to Robinson's July 11 visitation at St. Hyacinth Church and took a photo while standing near the casket. No one appeared to notice or stop him, he said.
"I just took my camera and thought, 'If I can do it, I'll do it,'" Clay said. "I did it very discreetly."
He visited Robinson's grave site about a week later and scooped a vial of dirt.
He then reached out to Eric Holler of Serial Killers Ink about brokering the sale.
"People collect anything and everything," Clay said. "There's a market for anything out there."
Clay said he's never purchased any "true crime collectables" himself, but he does collect vials of dirt from the grave sites of celebrities and infamous criminals for a personal collection. This is the first time he's has tried to sell anything.
Holler started Serial Killers Ink about 17 years ago. At first he only sold items related to serial killers, but he has since expanded into other types of crime.
"Everything on the site is legit," said Holler, who is based in Jacksonville, Florida. "I've been writing and corresponding with infamous inmates for years now, since the '90s. They would send me artwork, letters. They'd go to the prison barber shop and send me locks of their hair."
At first he sold the items on eBay, but after the site banned such items in 2001, many sellers, including Holler, launched their own websites.
Holler said he doesn't typically broker items, but will consider it when someone asks.
"99.9 percent of the items [on the site] are mine," Holler said. "Once in a while I will be contacted by someone who has something they wish to broker.
"In Dan's case, I knew him. We're kind of operating in the same genre. He does his crime scene tours. I sell items related to crime," Holler said. "We met through Facebook years ago; he's been an associate of mine since then.
"As far as I know, he is the only person able to get photographs from inside the service," Holler said. "Somehow he was able to take a photo."
Although many call the items "murderabilia" — and Holler doesn't reject the name — he prefers the term "true crime collectables."
"The old stereotype is that only psychos buy this stuff. People say, 'Who would buy these types of items? Who would want this stuff?'" Holler said. "But my customer base is vast and the last five to 10 years, it's really picked up. I sell all over the world."
Buyers include collectors as well as psychologists, professors, police officers, attorneys and more, Holler said.
"People throw the moral question at me, ask 'How could I do this? Do I feel bad about this?' No, this is my business," Holler said.
However, the business is not without controversy. In 2011, Holler's site came under fire by the family members of victims of Ohio serial killer Anthony Sowell for selling soil from his backyard. Several of Sowell's victims were buried on his property.
Claudia Vercellotti, a Toledo representative of the organization Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, said she was horrified to hear about the Robinson items and reached out to Holler by email.
"I asked him, 'If this was your family, would you want someone doing this?'" Vercellotti said. "It's a shock to sensibility and common sense."
She said Holler responded by asking her to stop sending him "harassing" emails, a description Vercellotti denies.
But Vercellotti mainly blamed the Catholic Diocese of Toledo.
"The blame for this falls squarely on the shoulders of the Toledo Catholic Diocese, who had no regard for Sister Pahl when they chose to bury him as a priest in good standing," Vercellotti said. "If his funeral had been small and simple, if the Diocese of Toledo had exercised any common sense or decency to Sister Pahl's family and the community at large, perhaps it wouldn't have gotten the same attention and maybe we wouldn't be watching a man capitalize off this murder.
"If [Diocesan Administrator] Father [Charles] Ritter had not buried him in a sensationalized, spectacle of a funeral, ask yourself, 'Would this have happened?' The answer is probably no. Murders happen every day, people die in prison every day and people aren't selling their stuff on the Internet. They keyed it up. Clearly that is what kicked up the interest. Their hands are all over this.
"My heart goes out to the Pahl family. This is just one more insult to injury. The idea that anyone would profit off this is devaluing as a women, devaluing as a nun and devaluing as a human being. This is gross. Shame on him. Shame on anyone who bids on or buys this material."
Sally Oberski, the Toledo Catholic Diocese's director of communications, declined to comment.
"Such activity doesn't justify a comment from us," she wrote in an email to Toledo Free Press.
Holler acknowledged the Robinson items don't have much academic value, but he said there is a market for such items and filling it is his business. Priests convicted of murder are exceedingly rare and Robinson is believed to be the first to be convicted of murdering a nun.
"I do understand these men and women have done some heinous, brutal crimes. The Gerald Robinson case is horrible. He killed a nun. But people seem to have an interest in dark and morbid history. It's history. We can't push history under the rug. It happened. These things happened and there are people who collect these items and people who use these items in the academic field, who study these items to get a better grasp of these individuals.
"I can't really say a photograph of him lying in a coffin has social value. It's not going to help anyone understand his crime," Holler said. "But there are collectors out there that would love to have a photograph of an infamous murderer in his final resting place. People are interested in some really dark things. That's part of our psyche.
"I do expect it to be sold in the next week or so," Holler said. "I do foresee it selling."
Items from notorious killer Charles Manson are among Holler's fastest-selling items.
"I've got Manson items on there but they go quick," he said. "Everyone wants a piece of Charles Manson."
Holler said he doesn't sell items from pedophiles or child killers.
"That's something I stay away from," Holler said. He also rarely sells items from victims.
Holler said he's always been interested in law enforcement and crime. At one time, he wanted to be a police officer.
"This is my career. This is what I do for a living," Holler said. "It's my passion. It's always been my passion."
Clay, a Toledo native, started Grave Fixations about two and a half years ago and gives up to four tours a week. The tours, which are by appointment only, last about two hours and have 15 to 20 stops, Clay said. Cost is $18 per person or $30 for two people. The tour is "not recommended for the squeamish," but is respectful, Clay said.
"The whole purpose is to educate people and show people the evil man is capable of," Clay said. "It doesn't glorify or glamorize anything. When we're at the graves, it's all respect. There's no circus atmosphere. Some people even bring flowers."
Of Robinson, Clay said he thinks only God can judge.
"This is a very high-profile crime," he said. "People have their own ways of judging. I'm not saying he was guilty and I'm not saying he was innocent. I guess we just have to let God judge."

COLUMBIA CITY — A man accused of dealing in methamphetamine had his court appearance pushed back due to other charges.
Dean Pressler, 39, of Larwill, was arrested in December for manufacturing methamphetamine, possession of chemicals with intent to manufacture methamphetamine, maintaining a common nuisance and possession of paraphernalia. He was in Whitley County Circuit Court Monday for those counts.
Pressler's attorney, Jeff Arnold of Columbia City, requested additional time to address the matter. Pressler was due back in circuit court Feb. 11 facing charges of child molestation, sexual misconduct with a minor, child seduction and possession of child pornography.
Whitley County Circuit Court Judge James Heuer said the hearings could be for both sets of charges at the same time.
Whitley County's Drug Task Force initially arrested Pressler at his residence on Dec. 21, 2012.
There was also an infant approximatley 9 months old in the house. Child Protective Services removed the infant from the residence.

Just LOVE This Fragrance
Goldleaf Parfum has been a favorite fragrance for a number of years. Found it when I was on vacation in South Carolina many years ago and bought it. Could not find it anywhere near where I live, so each year when we visited SC I'd buy my year's supply to hold me until the next visit. I finally learned I can buy it direct from Minneapolis, so I am a very happy camper that I don't have to wait for a vacation to replenish my supply! However, I heard that Goldleaf is being discontinued. I hope that was a BAD rumor and that it will be around for many more years!
Long Time Favorite
I've used this product exclusively since it was called Goldleaf & Hydrangea. I've been very selective about any of the colognes I could use & have given away many others that I've tried & been unable to tolerate. Needless to say Goldleaf has been my absolute favorite scent for many years. I was completely out of the cologne because I'm unable to find a reliable supply locally, so I'll continue to buy from the website. I'll also be trying some of the new lines that have been developed over the last several years. Thanks for continuing such a great line of products!!
nice fragrance
Love the scent, light but odd that I've never received a positive or negative comment on it from others - as compared to other fragrances I've used where I did receive positive comments. Makes me wonder if anyone notices? I use almost daily for work and I enjoy it so what the heck!
