Charter Arms AR-7 Survival Rifle
1 Attachment(s)
First post here, yay. I recently picked up (about 6 months ago) a Charter Arms AR7. Originally bought it for $80.00 and it came with the most terrible plywood stock and a bent barrel. No worry, though, as I only wanted the receiver for an indepth project I had planned out.
So, after 6 months, I now have a completely redesigned AR7 that shoots straight, is accurate enough to hit golfballs at 100yds, and still maintains its takedown capabilities. It is reliable with everything except subsonic ammo, but I've heard this is routine for this style of gun.
A few quick notes for anyone who has one and says it is a hunk of metal turds. Reliability can be improved drastically with a few small repairs. First off, the failure to feeds. An easy, albeit time consuming fix is to cut a small feed ramp into the barrel. This will extend the feed ramp from most magazines, and allow it to feed properly. I used a 22 caliber cotton cloth cleaning rod coated in lapping compound and slowly worked one into the barrel. Works great, and you can polish it up nicely with minimal efforts.
Second, the dratted thing gets dirty very, very quickly. This will cause the bolt to bind up in the receiver, and you'll get short strokes with failure to extracts. Simple fix is to use some lapping compound on a 12 gauge cotton cleaning pad and work it through the receiver. Be cautious as you don't want to remove too much. Just enough to allow a little more build up before it starts binding again. I polished the bolt up nicely, too. Works smoothly up until about 500 rnds.
Anyways, its a fun little rifle, works great and, this one, is particularly accurate. Let me know what you guys ( and gals) think.
Ps: the picture was just after painting it, but it does have a pistol grip that goes with it.
Well, I guess ya can't take it with ya in the boat now---won't float.
Looks very good for a simple takedown. Nice job of cleaning up some of those problems they're plagued with. Hard to believe these things been around for almost 40yrs. I had one in the pistol version once back in the 80's.
Well, actually it does, kind of. It'll bob up and down and eventually sink, but it took five minutes for it do so in a pond with the kids splashing around.
The skeletal stock is lightweight steel tubing and filled with a pretty bouyant foam. Same stuff they use in the pool floaties to segment off swimming lanes. I expect that it would perform better, flotation wise, with the standard barrel on it ... Not the heavy bull barrel its got.
Looks pretty cool. I have 1 of these myself, and I am very familiar with the issues they have.
The reliability work you did is almost what I had to do to mine to make it work flawlessly. I also readjusted the feed lips on my magazines which greatly improves the old jamming problem. The top portion of the magazine is also the feed ramp of the gun. Just a little tip for others who have one.
I still have the factory stock for mine. A couple scratches and minor flaws on it, but it still floats (my dad proved this by duct taping some 550 cord to it and dropping it out of my truck while I was launching his boat, needless to say, we didn't need diving gear to get it back). I only have one complaint about the gun. Whenever I take it to the range, I never get to use it,
Good job. Enjoy that gun.
That is a very unique and interesting take on the old AR7! Has anyone seen the new Chiappa Badger? It is a .22 single-shot that folds in half for compact transport! They have even mounted a little rail on top of the magazine for optics (?) and it should be available this year. They also have a Double Badger that adds a .410 shotgun barrel under the .22 tube which should make it a must-have for preppers.
Yeah, I saw a YouTube video with Jeff Quinn about that badger. Pretty neat little gun ... Almost tempted to buy one when it comes out. Said to come in three calibers ... .17 hmr, 22lr, and 22wmr. An extremely portable .17 would be perfect for the ground hogs invading my feeder.
I have a charter arms Explorer 2 and need a magazine for this gun --can you help? :confused:
I'd suggest AR-7 Industries. Hard to get a hold of anyone there, but their products have actually proven to be pretty good quality for a fair price. Give them a call, leave a message if you don't get anyone on the first try. I generally have gotten a call back within a day.
thanks --I went to AR-7 and they had all kinds of parts for the explorer 2 at a good price. go to email@example.com I appreciate your reply and helpfulness thats what this group is all about ---I looked up the explorer 2 and it has gone up in value if on the barrel its stamped stratford,conn.(mine is) :D

- By date
I know what makes good pinball. KISS Pinball is not good pinball. Dump the ten bucks you'd pay for this game down a real pin, if you can find one anywhere near you.
KISS fans will be disappointed by the distinct lack of KISS, and pinball fans will be disappointed by the distinct lack of pinball.
I've been sticking my finger in my mouth trying to hurl this filth back up. Maybe I can get KISS to "Lick It Up!"
Even devout soldiers of the KISS Army expecting pyrotechnics, blazing lights and vomited blood will be disappointed by dismal gameplay set to interminably looped hot licks, disorientating camera panning, and sterile voiceovers by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley.
It's just plain awful. Even the most rabid of KISS fans would do well to avoid this piece of junk...Squeeze all you want; there's no possible way you could wring even a drop of enjoyment out of KISS Pinball.

Gilbert O'Sullivan was Ireland's first international pop star.
In the early 1970s he sat on top of the global charts with, Alone Again (Naturally), Clair, Nothing Rhymed, Get Down and Matrimony. The poster pin-up star was up there with the likes of Elton John and The Osmonds but by the mid-70s his career began to wane and by the time he came out of a long legal dispute with his manager in the mid-80s his career had drifted into relative obscurity where it has stayed ever since.
Today, the 62-year-old O'Sullivan is still working, touring and recording from his homes on Jersey and in Nashville, still songwriting from Monday to Friday, nine-to-five, driven to achieve again the chart success he once had.
Filmed throughout 2009 on Jersey, and in London, Nashville and Israel, Gilbert O'Sulllivan - Out on his Own is a fascinating and witty journey through the personal and creative highs and lows of this unconventional soloist, complex, unwavering and often difficult. This is the first time O'Sullivan has given access to a documentary crew, allowing a rare insight into the private world of a single-minded and often pugnacious music man.

Technology Finds the Fountain of Youth
Computers Found the Fountain of Youth. Learn How They've Done It and How You can Remain Youthful Too
This article was printed in CONTROL's September 2009 edition.
By Katherine Bonfante, Managing Editor, Digital Media
Humans have been unsuccessfully looking for the fountain of youth forever. Computers, on the other hand, seem to reinvent themselves and get smarter, and more versatile—as well as hipper, slimmer and cooler—every year.
The earliest "computers"—mechanical counting devices—date from around 35,000 BCE. These devices grew up to become the abacus. In the 1820s, Charles Babbage presented us with his "Difference Engine," the great granddaddy of the binary computer or calculator and, in the late 1930s, the first functioning electronic computer came on the scene. Yet, in spite of this venerable history, today computers look as sleek and as young as a teenager, and they perform calculations well past the capabilities of the most brilliant of their inventors.
At ControlGlobal.com you can track the latest steps in the evolution of that workhorse of the 20th- and 21st-century factory, the industrial computer and how it is affecting the work lives of automation professionals.
"Industrial PCs Take New Forms for New Jobs" explores the morphing boundaries defining industrial PCs. Industrial PCs now take on new, fanless, diskless forms and tasks once reserved for PLCs and other plant-floor devices. Log on and read more.
In "The New Breed of Industrial PCs," read how the capabilities of traditional industrial computers now fit in a small, powerful footprint with an equally small price.
Our Market Intelligence Report on Industrial PCs, PLCs and PACs walks you through the responses to our survey on these industrial devices. Watch this video and get the entire report.
The white paper, "The Evolution of PC Bus Technologies" provides an overview of Windows XP for embedded applications. This paper has information on boot options, communications and networking, memory management, protection, target system and development tools. Download this white paper to learn more.
I hope these online resources have helped you drive down memory lane. In your search for your own fountain of youth, I suggest that keeping up with technology will be vital. And, in the rapidly shifting world of process automation, we will have to adapt as much as our computers have to stay ahead of the game.

Lady Gaga, Tony Bennett Releasing Jazz Album in September [Video]
At last, the long-awaited collaborative jazz album from Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett, Cheek To Cheek, will be released on Streamline/Columbia/Interscope Records on Tuesday, September 23. The first taste of this new music is the classic Cole Porter song, "Anything Goes", which is available today on iTunes (iTunes.com/CheekToCheek) and other digital retailers. Take a look.
While Gaga may make more headlines for her outlandish style and over-the-top antics, it comes as no surprise to Little Monsters that their idol can sing, showing off her seriously strong vocals in the video, certainly holding her own with Bennett. Of course, Gaga dons various different wigs and ensembles in the video, but none of that detracts from the power of her voice and the duo's incredible jazzed-up duet of the classic show tune.
In addition to the release of their highly-anticipated album, Gaga and Bennett will also star in a PBS special to air at some point in the fall.

While his presidential rivals battle for the conservative wing of his party, Mitt Romney's efforts to corral a different kind of constituency will get a boost Friday when former Sen. John Danforth endorses the former Massachusetts governor for president.
A Republican who represented Missouri for 18 years in the Senate, Danforth will announce his support for Romney in St. Louis, where Romney will be attending fundraisers. He joins 29 other Show Me State Republicans who endorsed Romney this week, including former U.S. Ambassador George H. Walker III -- cousin of former President George H.W. Bush, who entertained Romney in Houston on Thursday.
Although Danforth played a key role in winning the contentious 1991 confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, a conservative hero who served under Danforth when he was Missouri's attorney general, the Missourian was better known for his maverick impulses that sometimes put him at odds with elements of his own party.
In a 2005 op-ed for the New York Times, Danforth chided his fellow Republicans for having "transformed our party into the political arm of conservative Christians."
An ordained Episcopal minister, Danforth is the author of the book "Faith and Politics: How the 'Moral Values' Debate Divides America and How to Move Forward Together."
Danforth is also a member of the Commission on Presidential Debates, which sponsors and produces the debates between the Republican and Democratic nominees for president and vice president.
"This election is one of, if not the, most important of my lifetime. Our country faces the possibility of losing our place in the world if our economy fails to restart," Danforth says in a press release issued by the Romney campaign. "Mitt Romney has taken on significant challenges at every moment in his life. Whether it was turning around struggling companies, rescuing the Olympics, or restoring fiscal health in his state as governor, he has proven that he has both the skill and leadership ability to ensure that the United States remains the strongest and most respected nation in the world."
Danforth is endorsing Romney in a key battleground state -- but one where the GOP presidential contender appears to need little help this spring. Romney's current chief rival, Newt Gingrich, won't be on the ballot. The Los Angeles Times reported last month that Gingrich did not file his paperwork on time.

Moderator: What about forms of abuse by elderly adults? Either through emotional abuse toward caregivers, or perhaps by abusing medications?
Dr. Beckerman: Emotional abuse to their caregivers -- that is frequent. Take an example of a parent moving in with the child, and the parent becomes very demanding with certain foods and schedules. That can be overwhelming to the caregiver, and what needs to be done here is open communication, and a contract set up where "I can't be here all the time for you, can't do it your way, so can we get to a compromise?" And not to feel guilty if things cannot be exactly the way they were before. Older people practicing abuse happens more frequently in an institution, where if they are in pain they will hoard pain pills, so when they feel a lot of pain, they can take them. Elderly people abusing alcohol -- many times, this happens when the person is living alone. Family members have died, their spouses have died, or their children live some distance. That does happen.
Moderator: How common is suicide amongst the elderly?
Dr. Beckerman: It does exist, and when you have the feeling, with the symptoms and signs of depression, find out if there are suicidal thoughts or attempts. When someone is alone and experiencing a deep sadness because of a loss, they're much at risk for taking their own life, and it does happen. You have to be aware of changes in the person's emotional behavior or thought. If they've had a significant weight loss or gain, too much sleep or too little sleep, irritability, thinking process, losing interest in themselves and not dressing the way they used to -- do they have suicidal thoughts? Are they hoarding pills in their home, so they can take an overdose?
Moderator: What are some good ways to stay active and interested as an aged adult?
Dr. Beckerman: There are many exercises they can do, but make sure before they start to have clearance from a health care provider. Older adults need to feel needed within society, and society tends to feel that older adults aren't contributing participants. There are older adults who live at home, and can make phone calls to other older adults in the local community. This is a wonderful way to feel needed. There are schools with intergenerational programs, where they bring older adults in nursing homes into the school. Children learn about the older adult by being involved with them, and interacting with them. Other volunteer work -- sometimes they can go to senior centers, if the caregiver has resources to take them there. Being entertained, perhaps, by people that come into the centers. There are things to do. It's a question of finding out. A good place to start is the Local Office Area of Aging. You can find them listed in the phone book.
Moderator: What types of services does an area office on aging offer?
Dr. Beckerman: They serve as the clearing house of what would be available in your community for you to seek out, to help you with providing care to the older adult. Sometimes that's not easy. Different health care associations having to do with diabetes, or council to the blind will tell you what's available in your community that you can access, transportation in different states, different resources to transport people to a doctor's office or to senior centers. Usually they're a clearing house, because service is very fragmented. The Internet is a wonderful resource for looking for different support groups to help the older person. That's something that, if you're familiar with using the Internet, would be very good.
Moderator: All kidding aside, is Florida particularly well-suited to aging adults, and if so, why?
Dr. Beckerman: One of the good reasons is weather. People aren't homebound during the winter months, and this allows them to get out easier and feel part of the community. There are a lot more resources in southeast Florida, because of the large population of older adults, and the demand for resources. Transportation is a big area. I don't know how it is in other states, but in southeast Florida, transportation isn't readily available. But the services here are particularly good for the older adult, because of the large number of them retired here. There is an overabundance of assisted living facilities, and other facilities for the older adult. At the college of nursing at FAU (Florida Atlantic University), we offer services for elderly living in the community. They need their own transportation, but we can take blood pressure, offer advice on medication, etc. I'm involved as the coordinator of a gerontology certification program. One of the courses is geropharmacology, the aesthetics on aging, sensitizing the younger adult or caregiver to the older adult. We offer a lot.
Moderator: Finally, as we near the end of our time today, do you have some final thoughts you would care to share with us?
Dr. Beckerman: Go into this particular task of being a caregiver with an open heart, a lot of caring, and knowing that there are support systems, resources -- and knowing that what you've done, you've done your best, and to not feel guilt about what you're doing. A long as you're involved, you've done your best.
Moderator: Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Beckerman.
The opinions given by Dr. Beckerman are hers and hers alone. If you have specific questions or are concerned about your health, please consult your personal physician. This event is for informational purposes

What Exactly Will You Learn In The Success Mastery X Blueprint?
Whether is it experiencing success in areas such as your overall state of health and fitness, your relationships with your partner/spouse, family, friends and colleagues, your wealth, your spiritual well-being, etc., you will discover the exact success blueprint that will take you from an average Joe to one who is wildly successful in life in Success Mastery X.
Especially for those who have no purpose in life, or lack a direction in life, you're in for a treat... As Greg has dedicated one whole chapter to help you identify your goals in life, as well as showing you how you should focus your energy toward those goals... This is one area where I feel that Success Mastery X stands out!
Now, in case you're wondering about the effectiveness of the strategies that Greg has put forth in his Success Mastery X blueprint, not to worry, as what you'll discover are the exact success strategies that highly successful individuals have been following to achieve breakthrough successes in all areas of their lives.
If this success blueprint works for them, I'm confident that it'll work for you as well!
And to top it off, you'll also discover proven strategies on how you can eliminate all your limiting beliefs (all of which are subconsciously "controlling" your mind, preventing you from getting what you want in life), and at the same time, you'll learn techniques on how to control your mind, and harness its innermost powers to achieve the things that you could only dream about in the past (but now, you can turn it into reality).
Pros & Cons Of The Success Mastery X Blueprint
Every product has its pros, as well as cons - The same goes for Greg's Success Mastery X. And in this section, I'll be sharing with you some of the pros and cons of this particular product as I've noticed (when reviewing it).
First, let me talk about the pros of the product:
One thing I like about Greg's Success Mastery X blueprint is the fact that, it comes in 2 formats - PDF format, as well as audio format. This caters to people who prefer to learn via reading (they can read the PDF format of the blueprint), as well as to people who prefer to learn via listening (they can copy the audio tracks of the entire blueprint into their iPod or audio CD, and listen to them whenever they want, wherever they are!)
Another desirable point about Success Mastery X that I have noted is the fact that, Greg has made such a powerful blueprint so easy to understand and follow through... So much so that the only reason why you aren't achieving success from this blueprint is because you never take any action! I'm certainly impressed with the way Greg has presented the entire blueprint.
Now, for the cons about the product:
If I have to list down one con about the product, then it would be that there's an avalanche of information within the entire blueprint... And it may require going through the entire blueprint more than one (I would recommend going through at least twice or even thrice) to ensure that you don't miss out on anything.
Also, I'd like to remind you that this product is no "magic potion" where you will be able to experience a complete change in your life overnight - That's not going to happen. You need to be prepared to take massive amounts of action to follow through all the steps in the entire guide over a period of time (about 4 weeks or so) before you can start seeing results.
Therefore, you'll need to be patient with yourself here.

What Are Others Saying About The Success Mastery X Blueprint?
Just in case you're looking for a 3rd party opinion on the Success Mastery X blueprint, the following are some of the reviews that were being posted by some of the customers who have bought, as well as tried out the strategies that Greg has put forth in his blueprint.
Here's a review that's written by Simon Cad, from London:
"I would just like to congratulate you, this Success Mastery is one of the most comprehensive courses I have had the pleasure of reading...
I was particularly impressed with the section that helps transforms goals into actions, this really resonated with me - as this is something that I know the importance of.
Additionally, I realise that modelling those who have succeeded before you, is an imperative factor of achieving ultimate success. So these techniques really are worth their weight in gold.
This really is a course which helps the reader accomplish both psychological and physical understanding, of what must be done in order to achieve. I would recommend this to anyone who is dedicated to bettering themselves both in their physiology and attitude towards financial freedom."
Here's another written review, by Nick Sanders, and this is what he has to say about the product:
"What a very insightful piece of Literature magic. I only had just begun reading when on page 12 you write "Follow One Course Until Successful" it really spoke to me because this has been an increasingly challenging this area of mine for such a long time.
I am on a continual journey of self exploration and I am always on the look out for thought provoking information that invokes my mind to open the areas that require a little push and Success Mastery X has helped me in this area.
Thank You for creating such an insightful masterpiece!"
My Final Verdict About The Success Mastery X Blueprint
If you're looking for a no BS, simple, straight to the point and yet at the same time, tried and proven step-by-step success blueprint, then look no further than Greg Frost's Success Mastery X blueprint.
The entire blueprint has been jammed packed with lots of proven to work and powerful strategies that will allow you to experience success in all areas of your life (in your health and fitness, relationships, wealth, spiritual well-being, etc.).
You'll also notice that, when you put what you have learned into action, you were able to subconsciously attract anything you want in life.
As long as success is a MUST to you, and you're willing to do whatever it takes to achieve lifelong success in life, then I'd highly recommend that you grab a copy of the Success Mastery X blueprint...

Italian F4 Championship Powered By Abarth
Posted by: newsla on Jun 09, 2014 - 03:03 PM
Italian F4 Championship Powered By Abarth
All rookies, all promoted. A new Championship, the Italian F.4 Championship powered by Abarth; a new car, the Tatuus F4T014, reliable since the first race; a lot of new drivers at their first experience with car racing but already so skilled and fair behind the wheel, a final satisfaction by ACI Sport and WSK Promotion that managed to produce, together with their technical partners, a well done product.
The good feeling of Lance Stroll in this brand new race context got concrete in qualifying (double pole position yesterday for the Montreal's driver) and then at the start of race-1, when the Canadian of Prema Powerteam got the lead on his team mate - the French Brandon Maisano - that shared the front row with him. Behind them, three drivers battling out their positions. The Milanese Andrea Russo (Diegi Motorsport) came out on top of this scrap leading the Japanese Ukyo Sasahara (Euronova Racing) and the Italian Matteo Cairoli (Antonelli Motorsport). The latter pushed hard since the beginning fighting with Sasahara, to whom he stole the fourth place early on. Meanwhile, Russo had already pulled away though gaining that margin that granted him P3. On top, Stroll built his victory gaining also that margin that allowed him to claim the first race win ahead of Maisano.
Lance Stroll was right anticipating a not easy race-2, due to race-1 top ten grid inversion. The second race at the Adria International Raceway gave a lot of emotions and this time the eighteen years old from Japan Ukyo Sasahara (Euronova Racing), has been good fending off the attacks moved by Stroll (Prema Power Team) in a red hot finale. The Canadian managed to climb the charts after the 5th row start and progressively closed the gap to Sasahara as the latter got the lead from the third row of the grid. Stroll has been choosing inside lines to try and find his way past the rival. Sasahara seemed quite calm fending off all the attacks without leaving gaps open for the Canadian.
Andrea Russo (Diegi Motorsport) and Leonardo Pulcini (Euronova Racing) gained some ground to the leading duo and have been involved themselves in a nice battle for the podium. Sasahara kept anyway his cool and this allowed the Japanese to keep the rivals at bay. Stroll and Russo closed on the podium in order, while Pulcini ended fourth despite deserving himself the podium too.
The final surprise arrived at the go of race-3 though, when poleman Stroll got off slowly giving way to an excellent Andrea Russo. The Milanese driver took the lead straight away pulling away from Maisano, that was the only one trying to stay close to him. Sasahara tried again to bounce back to a good result, getting into the slipstream offered by Mattia Drudi (Adria Raceway by Cram) in an attempt moved by both drivers to attack Maisano. The strongest of the runners up turned out to be Pulcini that has been counting on an important result for the whole weekend. The Italian got past all the rivals ahead of him and finally got Maisano's slipstream before taking him at the end of a red-hot but extremely correct battle. Fairness has been a great quality emerged from Race-3. This was not put on track by the two drivers charging for the second place, but also by all the others. This is why the duel between Sasahara and the Swiss Alan Valente (Jenzer Motorsport) has been an exciting string of attacks that last more than half of the race without cars getting too close to each other. The fourth place finally went Valente's way, who closed behind Russo, Pulcini and Maisano, has been the icing on the cake of a great racing weekend. The only sorrow bit has been the retirement of Sasahara two thirds into the race.
Andrea Russo is the first leader of the charts as he stands at 53 points, 2 clear of Lance Stroll. The third place is occupied by Leonardo Pulcini, who hauled 30 points thanks to his regular results, Ukyo Sasahara is currently 5 points behind him. The Italian F.4 Trophy powered by Abarth, reserved to over-19 yrs drivers, Brandon Maisano is leading the pack with 63 points and is followed by Keith Camilleri (Malta Formula Racing) and by pilota del Bahrain Ali Al Khalifa (Jenzer Motorsport). The next round of the championship will take place in Imola next 27 - 29 June.

Rachel is now 3 1/2 months old. In some ways it's flown and in other ways the time has crawled. Here are a few recent pics:
As we settle into the school year and look for that typical rhythm that gets us through each full day, I find I am struggling to settle. I am distracted and overwhelmed. One minute I want to search desperately for info about best appetite suppressant for women to lose this baby weight and the next minute I couldn't care less.

One quality that's closely related to metta is appreciation. We often take things for granted when they're going right, and then focus on what's not going the way we want it to. And that makes us unhappy and makes our relationships with others less warm and appreciative.
At our worst we'll say things like "Nothing ever goes right in my life." And in the moment we're saying those words we'll ignore that we have air to breathe, we're alive, we're probably healthy, we're living in a fairly civilized society (it's far from being Mogadishu), we're sheltered from the elements, we have water, electricity, the internet, friends, family, etc. The specifics of what we have change … Read more »
In previous posts I've suggested an approach to cultivating lovingkindness that begins with contacting our innate lovingkindness. Now the expression "contacting our innate lovingkindness" is a problem for many people, because they look inside themselves, don't see anything at that moment that they could call "metta" or "lovingkindness," and then conclude they don't have these qualities. Which can start a downward spiral of rumination and pain: I don't feel any love; Therefore I don't love myself; Therefore I must be unlovable; Therefore no one will ever love me; Therefore my life is horrible.
I think almost everyone has experienced that kind of emotional nose-dive at one time or another.
But I think that when this … Read more »
I'd like to share a way of relating that I call "loving gaze." This is borrowed from Jan Chozen Bays, who writes in How to Train a Wild Elephant of the practice of "Loving Eyes."
In her book she says:
We know how to use loving eyes when we are falling in love, when we see a new baby or a cute animal. Why do we not use loving eyes more often?
So what we can do is to recall, or even just imagine, the experience of looking with loving eyes. You can recall (or imagine) looking at a beloved child, or a lover, or even a pet. I find that the sense of care, … Read more »
The Buddha said, "Protecting oneself, one protects others. Protecting others, one protects oneself."
Lovingkindness helps us protect others, and it helps us protect ourselves.
At one time I used to have the New York Times delivered to my house every morning. It was one of my great pleasures to have a leisurely breakfast with a cup of tea, toast, and some intelligent analysis from the Op-Ed pages. But first I had to get the newspaper, which was tossed onto (or near) the front porch every morning by the delivery driver.
It was always an awkward moment for me walking out onto the porch in my bathrobe and slippers, with my hairy legs and knobbly ankles … Read more »
When the rubber hits the road is a great time to practice lovingkindness, and I mean literal rubber and a literal road.
There's a lot of irritation involved in driving, even far short of the extreme of road rage. It can be irritating to be in slow traffic, or busy traffic, or to be cut off, or to be held up by roadworks, or stuck at traffic lights.
We're emotionally cut off from other drivers because we're all in our own semi-private metal boxes, and so we don't have access (usually) to their body language and facial expressions. So we often take things personally that aren't necessarily personal. As comedian George Carlin said, "Have you … Read more »
In yesterday's post I talked about the fact that many people have misconceptions about what metta (lovingkindness) is, and how those misconceptions can lead to disappointment, despair, and to giving up on the practice. The main misconception I addressed is that lovingkindness is an emotion. Actually, lovingkindness is a volition. It's classically defined as the intention that beings be happy. So it's something we want, not something we feel. Although the volition may lead to certain feelings, like warmth, an open heart, a sense of cherishing, joy, etc., the feelings are secondary.
Another thing that often happens is that we try too hard to make something happen. This may have happened to you if you've … Read more »

The Urban Retreat is set up to help you bring more depth of practice into your life. In particular we're focusing for the week on lovingkindness (metta) practice, so that we can move towards having a heart that "blazes like the sun."
I was surprised recently on a retreat, when I asked how many people practiced lovingkindness meditation regularly, to find that fewer than half the participants did. I'd expected almost every hand to go up, since in … Read more »
There are many ways to develop metta (kindness, or lovingkindness), which is the desire that beings, ourselves included, be happy. Kindness arises from a basic realization that all beings want to be happy, and that their happiness and suffering are as real to them as our own happiness and suffering are to us. Recognizing those facts, and knowing that we ourselves want to be happy, we naturally wish happiness for others.
Kindness is inherent in us all, and in the meditation practice we're strengthening what's already there, not bringing something entirely new into being.
The most well-known way to cultivate metta is drop phrases into the mind that strengthen and develop our kindness. When I … Read more »
Giving – to others, to the world, to oneself – is deep in our nature as human beings.
When our mammalian ancestors first appeared, about two hundred million years ago, their capacities for bonding, emotion, and generosity were extraordinary evolutionary breakthroughs. Unlike reptiles and fish, mammals and birds care for their young, pair bond (sometimes for life), and usually form complex social groups organized around various kinds of cooperation. This takes more smarts than, say, a fish laying a swarm of eggs and swimming away – so in proportion to body weight, mammals and birds have bigger brains than reptiles and fish do.
When primates came along about sixty million years ago, there was another … Read more »
Today is Day 100 of Wildmind's 100 Days of Lovingkindness.
For me it's been a blast. Somehow I managed to keep to a schedule of having a blog post each day, which means that I've written enough material in the last three months to fill a 300 page book. On our first 100 day challenge I managed 35 consecutive daily posts before realizing that I couldn't sustain the pace and slacked off to writing every five days. Somehow this time the 35 day mark came and went, and then the 50 day mark, then 75 days — and here we are. The time has flown.
I can only imagine that the energy for this writing … Read more »

The quarter-finals were not a happy time for Sven-Goran Eriksson.
First England bowed out on penalties to Portugal and then Sweden, the land of his birth, went out in equally painful circumstances.
Being honest, over the course of the game they did not quite deserve to beat the Dutch, despite having a few chances of their own.
But it was such a cruel exit after some exciting play throughout the squad in the group stages.
I'd said Henrik Larsson's decision to come out of international retirement would have a major effect and it took him less than an hour into the tournament to notch up his first two goals.
He was by no means the only star. Freddie Ljunberg showed invention and Zlatan Ibrahimovic proved a handful for most defences.

The Sandy Bridge Previewby Anand Lal Shimpi on August 27, 2010 2:38 PM EST
The Test
As was the case with Lynnfield, the current Sandy Bridge CPUs Intel is sampling are slightly different than what will be sold. The Core i5 2400 runs at 3.1GHz, has four cores, 6MB of L3 cache but no Hyper Threading. In order to help Intel's partners test HT functionality however, the i5 2400s being sampled right now have Hyper Threading enabled. For the purposes of our test I've run with HT both enabled (to give you an idea of higher end SB parts) and disabled (to give you an idea of i5 2400 performance).
The other major difference between what's out today and what's coming in Q1 is turbo. Early Sandy Bridge samples, ours included, do not have turbo enabled. The CPU simply runs at 3.1GHz all the time, regardless of workload. The final retail 2400 will be able to run at up to 3.4GHz.
In other words, what we show here should be indicative of final performance, but it's probably slower than what will ship in Q1.
On the GPU side, the part I'm testing appears to be the single-core GPU configuration (6 EUs). Intel hasn't released any info as to what parts will get the dual-core/12 EUs GPU configurations, although it may make sense for Intel to use the 12 EU parts in notebooks given the importance of integrated graphics to the mobile market. Update: The part we're looking at may actually have been a lower clocked 12 EU part, we're still waiting for additional confirmation.
Our test platform was a H67 based motherboard running with 4GB of DDR3-1333, the same memory we use in our Lynnfield testbeds.
I'm comparing to four other CPUs. The Core i7 980X for a high end comparison, the Core i7 880 for a near clock-for-clock comparison (albeit with HT enabled), the Core i5 760 for a potential price comparison and the Phenom II X6 1090T. The latter should be AMD's fastest offering (if not close to it) when Sandy Bridge ships. Update: Note the Core i5 650 is actually the predecessor to the Core i5 2400, however I didn't feel a dual core vs. quad core comparison was too fair. The i5 760 will actually go head to head with the higher clocked i5 2500 when it launches in Q1.

Touche - Friday, August 27, 2010 - linkQuestionable overclocking is bad enough, but together with...
"There's no nice way to put this: Sandy Bridge marks the third new socket Intel will have introduced since 2008."
"The CPU and socket are not compatible with existing motherboards or CPUs. That's right, if you want to buy Sandy Bridge you'll need a new motherboard."
"In the second half of 2011 Intel will replace LGA-1366 with LGA-2011."
...it is just terrible!
I'll definitely buy AMD Bulldozer, even if it ends up a bit slower. At least they have some respect for their customers and an ability of forward thinking when designing sockets (actually, Intel probably has it too, but just likes to milk us on chipset purchases also). And I am no fanboy, 4 of my 7 PC's are Intel based (two of those 4 were my latest computer purchases). Reply
Touche - Friday, August 27, 2010 - linkAnd the naming...OMG!
There will be i7 processors that require three (3 !!!) different sockets! Maybe even 4 when 2011 comes. Intel can't get their naming right for quite some time now, but they've outdone themselves this time. Reply
ereavis - Monday, August 30, 2010 - linkProcessor names really should mean something, even if AMD and Intel don't agree. It's annoying that I have to wikipedia a processor (or memorize a thousand processors) to know what it is. We are still getting quotes for three year old Opterons and Xeons (that we're using as desktops no less), those only add to the annoyance.
What ends up happening - good for Intel bad for technology advancement - is non IT type people buying computers are buying DDR2-667 based three-year old desktop processors. Reply
BSMonitor - Friday, August 27, 2010 - linkUmmm, but Bulldozer comes with AM3-r2... Just a sketchier way of saying new MB needed.
At least this new Intel isn't trying to BS you. Significant revisions to the architecture require different pin layouts/counts... It is inevitable with processor evolution. Reply
Touche - Friday, August 27, 2010 - linkActually, it should be AM3 compatible:
Even if it's not, AM2/AM3 lasted quite some time.
"At least this new Intel isn't trying to BS you. Significant revisions to the architecture require different pin layouts/counts... It is inevitable with processor evolution."
They know in advance what they need and could design a socket to support multiple processors. And i7/i5/i3 definitely don't need different ones. Reply
BSMonitor - Friday, August 27, 2010 - link"Even if it's not, AM2/AM3 lasted quite some time."
Not all AM2 processors were compatible with AM2+ MB or vice versa, not all AM3 processors compatible on AM2+ MB.
It's still 3 different sockets.
Marketing buddy, marketing.
By the time 1366 is replaced, it will have been on the market for 4 years. Reply
stmok - Saturday, August 28, 2010 - linkEh, no its not. Bulldozer does NOT work with non-AM3+ mobos
AMD engineers made a decision not to make it backward compatible for three reasons.
(1) No one but enthusiasts upgrade their CPUs. People in the real world upgrade their whole computer.
(2) Bulldozer introduces new features that won't work with existing Socket AM3 mobos. (Isn't it bloody obvious when they have to introduce a new socket specification?)
(3) It would cost more money and delays if they were to make a backward compatible version of Bulldozer.
As a result, they made a compromise:
You can take your existing AM3 CPU to AM3+ mobos, while you wait for Bulldozer to arrive. BUT, you can NOT upgrade your existing AM3 based system to Bulldozer.
Simply put...
AM3+ CPU and AM3+ mobo = OK
AM3 CPU and AM3+ mobo = OK
AM3+ CPU and AM3 mobo = Sorry. No.
So it doesn't matter if AMD "Bulldozer" or Intel "Sandy Bridge". You will need a new mobo. Reply
Ard - Friday, August 27, 2010 - linkAMD seriously has their work cut out for them with Bulldozer. The lowest end Sandy Bridge processor absolutely trounced the competition. It's insane what Intel is pulling off here, especially in the integrated graphics arena. Really makes me hope Larrabee comes back as a discrete product in the next few years. Reply
dgz - Saturday, August 28, 2010 - linkpoor kid, you don't realize 2400 is not nearly lowest end. Reply
Finally - Sunday, August 29, 2010 - linkDoesn't that make him a "(filthy) rich kid"? Reply

Laundromat,conceptual project
Lower East Side, NYC
Lower East Side, NYC
The main task of this project was to restore the interiors of an existing laundromat located in the Lower East Side. My solution focused on tackling the environmental problems occurring in today's laundromats, e.g. by installing a common washing pool in lieu of traditional washing machines.This design minimizes the amount of water and detergent necessary.
Thank You!

The Pitt men's basketball team left about a half-hour ago on a chartered bus to the airport to fly to New York City for the Big East Tournament. The team had a light workout on Monday afternoon.
Coach Jamie Dixon said freshman guard John Johnson (back spasms), who was limited to three minutes in the 74-65 loss at Connecticut, practiced and looked good.
The players, who have to win five games in five days to win an automatic big into the NCAA Tournament, were upbeat. Seniors Ashton Gibbs and Nasir Robinson are 0-3 in the Big East Tournament and no player on the roster has ever won a game at the Garden in the Big East Tournament.
"Everyone has the same goal," Robinson said.


text: SourceNEW DELHI, INDIA, February 12, 2014: US author Wendy Doniger's controversial book "The Hindus: An Alternative History," which had created a stir among various Hindu groups over allegedly "defaming the Hindu religion and freedom fighters," will be pulled out of the Indian market after its publishers decided to "withdraw and recall all the copies from India." The "amicable settlement" between the petitioner and the publisher was reached following a two year long legal battle in a trial court and a criminal complaint against the defendant. In a settlement agreement with petitioner Shiksha Bachao Andolan Samiti, a Delhi-based group, which had filed a civil suit against the book's author Doniger and its publisher, Penguins Book India, seeking an injunction restraining them from selling or circulating the book, Penguin India agreed to "pulp the recalled/withdrawn/unsold copies" at its own cost. Additional District Judge Balwant Rai Bansal was hearing the civil suit filed in 2011 by Dinanath Batra, convener of Shiksha Bachao Andolan, through his counsel Monika Arora. Along with him, there were five other petitioners including ex-IFS officer O P Gupta, Sharvan Kumar, president, Swami Vivekananda Medical Mission among others. Talking to TOI, Batra said that he had also filed a complaint on April 29, 2010 in Hauz Khas police station seeking action against the defendants for "gross misrepresentations and printing mistakes in the book-the most offensive of which is to erase Kashmir from Indian Territory even between 600 and 1600 CE long before even the existence of Pakistan". "The defendants later approached us for a settlement and we agreed. We also informed the court about the settlement agreement," Batra added. Penguin India refused to comment on the matter. The 800-page book, published in 2009, claimed in its blurb that it is a definitive narrative account of history and myth that offers a new way of understanding one of the world's oldest major religions. The petitioners, however, in their plea had claimed that the book was based on "unreliable and unauthentic and one sided sources" and is full of biases, generalizations and pre-conceived notions. "That it has not only used and misused but abused Indian history and religion in an undignified manner. It is a mis-interpretation of Hindu dharma and its glorious past. That the defendant along with the author have selected scattered events of their choice and given them their own interpretation," the petition had stated.
