Love is Water
Love is water that hews down slate and granite and rock
With each passing moment and year.
Love is the water we thirst for,
The water that leaves desert and cracked earth when gone.
The water that washes feet, washes dishes, cures diseases, blooms flowers and grasses
And life.
Love is the water we long to sink into,
The water that drowns.
Love is the ocean divided into billions of drops,
Drops by the billions that wander the earth in rivers, and great lakes, and puddles,
Or alone on a leaf.
Love is the drops that gather together, merge, split apart,
And rise invisibly back into clouds.
Love is the water of which flesh is made,
Love is the water we must drink every day.
Love is the water that forever seeks
Its return to the sea.

Pixie Lott has exclusively revealed to Capitalfm.com that she is planning to head out on a UK tour in 2012.
The 'All About To Night' singer has yet to announce an outing in support of her second studio album 'Young Foolish Happy' and is keen to hit the road this year.
"Touring's my favourite thing ever so I can't wait to go on tour. Hopefully that will be sometime this year, we haven't got the dates yet. And, definitely, I want to play some festivals because festivals are so much fun," she confessed.
The singer's last outing was during the "Crazy Cats' tour which climaxed in December 2010.

Orange County Set to Further Revise Transportation Impact Fee Rates
There were a few glitches in the revised transportation impact fee rate schedule Orange County adopted in October 2012. Ten land use categories had incorrect rate figures. As a result, the County intends to adopt a corrected rate schedule on February 12, 2013, and have the new rates take effect not less than 90 days later. The delay of the effective date is required by statute. The Ordinance needed to implement the new rates is not yet available for review, so the actual start date for the new rates is not clear at this time, but it will not be any sooner than May 13, 2013. The rates that will take effect at that time are 42% of the 100% impact fee rate set for each land use category.
The corrected rates affect four residential categories and represent a reduction from the earlier-adopted rates. These categories are: Multi-Family/Apartments, Condominium/Townhouse, High-Rise Condo/Townhouse, and Student Housing. The rates for six Retail categories are also being corrected. Each of these corrections results in an increase from the earlier-adopted rates. The affected categories are: Retail 200,001-300,000 sf, Retail 300,001-400,000 sf, Retail 400,001-500,000 sf, Retail 500,001-1,000,000 sf, Retail 1,000,001-1,200,000 sf, and Retail more than 1,200,000 sf. A copy of the corrected impact fee table that will be presented to the Board of County Commissioners for adoption on February 12, 2013 is attached below. Once the new impact fee rates become effective, they will remain in effect for 18 months and then increase by 33.3% across the board to a 56% rate.

Keep a day to visit the absolutely stunning Milford Sound - it'll be a long day, but something you cannot miss. I strongly recommend the BBQ Bus - the only tour that provides a hot barbeque meal, along a stream in the middle of nowhere! The tour is not your typical sightseeing tour - it's more like a friend showing a small group of 10-12 his favourite spots. You pass the small city of Te Anau and the Fjordland National Park before you get to the Sound. The route itself is absolutely stunning and there's a photo op around every corner. So don't fall asleep. Milford Sound is a beauty that transcends worlds - the hour long cruise had me mesmerized for the entire duration. 3. Franz Josef

Is Sam Trickett the best poker player in the world?
Move over Phil Ivey; step aside Tom "durrrr" Dwan; make room Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond; there is a new candidate for the title of the best poker player in the world, and it's the UK's talented young star Sam Trickett.
While the reports are nearly impossible to verify, it would seem that for the second straight year Sam Trickett will be leaving Macau with a seven-figure profit after crushing the high-stakes cash-games that take place in the Las Vegas of the East. Last year Trickett famously won over £1 million in the game, (something he personally told to BLUFF Magazine during an interview) and according to pokerportal.asia Trickett's haul in 2011 was even better, somewhere in the neighborhood of $2.3 million USD!
Trickett has had an incredible year in 2011, starting with a victory at the $100k Super-High-Roller tournament at the Aussie Millions, followed by a 2nd place finish in the $250k Super-High-Roller event just days later. With close to $3 million in tournament earnings under his belt before the end of January 2011 was sure to be a good year for the young UK pro.
Trickett would also final table a WPT Regional tournament in France, sign a sponsorship deal with Titan Poker, cash in the inaugural Epic Poker League Main Event, Final Table the High-Roller tournament at the EPT Championship in London, finish 4th in the WSOP Europe €5k PLO tournament, and most recently win over $1 million after his victory at the Partouche Poker Tour Championship.
Trickett tallied nearly $4.6 million in tournament winnings in 2011 and sent his career total over the $6.3 million mark; enough to become the UK's all-time money leader by surpassing UK poker legend Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott.
Phil Ivey's name may roll of the tongues of most poker players when asked who the best poker player is, but in my mind there is nobody playing the game at a higher level than Trickett. He has proven over the past two years to be a well-rounded player capable of playing the best tournament or cash-game players in the world. Trickett also has a knack for rising to the occasion, evidenced by his big wins and high finishes in high-profile tournaments, as well as his utter dominance of the high-stakes cash-games in Macau (which may not be well reported on, but are well followed by the poker world).

Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, one of the richest men on Earth, today pledged to donate $US13.5 million ($17.99 million) for research into extra-terrestrial life.
With the contribution, Allen will have given $US25 million ($33.32 million) for construction of the Allen Telescope Array (ATA), a network of 350 radio telescopes being built to find signs of life in space, said Thomas Pierson, director of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute.
The radio telescopes will measure the density of the early universe, the formation of stars and magnetic fields.
They will also be capable of searching for "possible signals from technologically advanced civilisations elsewhere in the galaxy," according to a SETI statement.
The announcement of Allen's donation coincided with the completion of the project's research and development phases, which Allen funded with an $US11.5 million ($15.33 million) donation.
The $US13.5 million donation will pay for the first two phases of construction of the ATA, according to the statement.
One network of 32 telescopes will be available for research by the end of 2004 and the entire network of 350 telescopes will be completed "late in the decade," it said.
SETI and the Radio Astronomy Laboratory of the University of California at Berkley teamed up for the ATA project.
"I am very excited to be supporting one of the world's most visionary efforts to seek basic answers to some of the fundamental question about our universe and what other civilisations may exist elsewhere," Allen said in a ceremony in Mountain View, California, where SETI is based.

A city with palaces alongside business towers, royal gardens in view of shopping districts, and historical landmarks as public transportation hubs, Moscow is truly a city unlike any other. More than eight centuries of history have shaped this metropolis into the bustling, populous, vibrant destination it is today. The prominent combination of the past and the future make Moscow one of the greatest cities on Earth. The first reference to Moscow was made by Yuri Dolgorukiy in 1147, nine years before the first wall of the city was erected. Moscow grew and developed over the next few centuries and in 1327 took on the title of...Read MoreView train stations in Moscow

ANAHEIM – An Italian market and deli was damaged by a structure fire early Friday morning.
Authorities responded to reports of a fire at Cortina's Italian Market, 2175 W. Orange Ave., at 3:16 a.m., officials said.
Officials said 26 firefighters from Anaheim Fire & Rescue and Orange County Fire Authority arrived at the market, which also is a restaurant and deli, and extinguished the working structure fire at 3:39 a.m. No injuries were reported.
Maria Sabol, public information officer for Anaheim Fire & Rescue, said that the rear interior of the business had fire damage, and the entire market was damaged from the smoke.
Authorities said they are still determining the cause of the fire, but investigators preliminary estimate about $100,000 in structural damages and $200,000 in content damages because of the fire, Sabol said.
According to the Cortina's Italian Market Facebook page, the business is expected to be closed for several weeks for repairs, but the business' Orange location, 964 N. Batavia St., will be open Wednesday.

The SPT Relational Database Web Tool (RWT) is a simple application that can help developers connect to databases configured as a DataSource in the application server or directly through JDBC. The RWT application attempts to replicate basic features found in the popular Aqua Data Studio application. Per user settings (saved connection parameters, saved queries), single and batch query processing, a history browser, multiple query browsers, a tree view of database metadata, and other features are supported. Full source code is available.
The Exquisite `df' (xdf) is a souped-up version of df(1) rewritten from scratch and focused on flexibility of field selection and output format. It offers HTML and CSV outputs, besides the traditional text-based console output. It is fit for system administrators who are tired of post-processing df(1) output through shell or Perl scripts in order to avoid broken lines or to get a simple total/summary line.
BRAP is a Java remoting protocol that uses native Java object serialization encapsulated in HTTP. It aims to be an alternative to Spring HttpInvoker and Spring Security, especially when you don't need or want the dependencies of Spring in your client, such as when building a rich client application where size might be an issue. The authentication mechanism lets you use your own domain objects as credentials. BRAP gives you "pass by reference" even though the object arguments are serialized and passed to the remote service: changes that happen on the remote side can be applied to the client side automatically. BRAP focuses on being easy to use, small in size, yet powerful and extensible.

I am a statistician based in the Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling (CREEM) and School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of St Andrews. My research work is motivated by ecological applications, particularly related to widlife conservation.
Some Recent Research
Beaked whale densities after Deepwater HorizonBeaked whale click waveforms
We have been working on methods for estimating animal abundance from passive acoustics for over a decade (see DECAF web site). In this recent paper, we adapt current methods to estimate the density and trends of deep-diving beaked whale species at 5 sites in the Gulf of Mexico during and after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Does naval sonar disturb whales?Blue whale diving
Experiments designed to answer this question are difficult and expensive. We have been working with the scientists involved to develop methods that make better use of existing data (see MOCHA web site), and we recently published a brief overview of this work.
We have also coordinated a review of the state of knowledge on sonar effects, with recommendations for future research priorities, available as a technical report.
PCoD: Population Consequences of DisturbancePCoD concept diagram
Does human-caused disturbance to individual animals cause population-level changes in species abundance? Finding out requires modelling across multiple scales, from short- to long-term and from individual to population. We have recently published a short overview of our work in this area.
In situations where formal data are lacking, we suggest an "interim" approach using expert knowledge to parameterize a simplified model. In the paper below, we apply this approach to investigate the possible effect of UK offshore windfarm construction .

Lamar Odom Mavericks Part Ways
April 9, 2012 by staff
Lamar Odom Mavericks Part Ways, The Dallas Mavericks and forward Lamar Odom have chosen to part ways, effective immediately. Odom, 32, is averaging a career-low 6.6 points per game on .352 shooting since coming over from theLos Angeles Lakers in a trade for a first-round draft pick and an $8.9 million trade exception. He was originally slated to be traded to New Orleans in a deal for Chris Paul before NBA commissioner David Stern vetoed the deal.
Odom and Mavericks officials worked out the terms of the separation overEaster Sunday. According to a report by ESPN's Marc Stein, team sources indicated that Odom will be listed as inactive for the rest of the season instead of being released. He could still be traded after the season, although any team that has him on the roster on June 29 will be on the hook for either a $2.4 million buyout or Odom's $8.2 million salary for 2012-13.
The reigning NBA champion Mavericks (31-26, fourth in Southwest Division) will play their next game on Tuesday night, when they host theKings (19-38, fifth in Pacific Division) at American Airlines Center. Game time is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET.

John Jorritsma died of mesothelioma on Wednesday after spending a career as an electrician drilling through asbestos sheeting and crawling through Mr Fluffy homes.
Having watched his brother die of mesothelioma six years previously, Mr Jorritsma spent much of the last few years of his life in a state of agitation about the level of exposure tradespeople suffer in Canberra.
Most of all, Mr Jorritsma and his wife of 43 years, Stephanie, despaired about the future health of their three sons, all of whom have chosen professions that expose them to asbestos.
They believed tradespeople have been the unwitting victims of the Mr Fluffy crisis as, until this year, most were unaware of the dangers of dealing with remnant loose amosite present in more than 1000 Mr Fluffy homes across the city. The common use of asbestos sheeting across Canberra has also exposed so many to the deadly fibres.
Mrs Jorritsma does not want her sons to suffer as their father did before he died at Clare Holland House.
Adrian is an electrician who took over his father's business, while Michael has a kitchen and bathroom joinery business and David is a mechanical engineer.
''I've begged Adrian in particular to find another business, as a week wouldn't go past where he does not come into contact with a Mr Fluffy house," she said.
Adrian says he feels haunted by asbestos.
''I've watched my uncle die and this week I watched my dad die,'' he said. ''It is an absolutely horrible way to die.''
His father never smoked and was previously fit and healthy.
Adrian estimates he has worked on as many as 100 Mr Fluffy homes since he joined his father in the trade.
He and his mother recall Mr Jorritsma in his earlier years being quite blase about asbestos risk. But as information about its deadly effects became more widespread, he became more concerned. His brother's death – due to exposure to asbestos brake dust through his work as a motor mechanic – jolted him into action and he had constantly been in his sons' ears about taking care to minimise their exposure.
For Mrs Jorritsma, who will bury her husband next week, the only solution the ACT government should pursue is to safely demolish all Mr Fluffy homes and plough more resources into asbestos awareness and training for all tradespeople and for the families who live in older homes that contain bonded asbestos.
''It will be a huge job to properly demolish these homes and make sure they are disposed of, but what choice does the government have?'' she said. ''We can't go on like this with so many people's lives at stake.''
Adrian has considered changing his career.
''But where do I go and what do I do?'' he asked.
In the meantime, he believes the government must urgently alert tradespeople to a home's contamination through numerous ways – notices in fuse boxes and warnings at subfloor doors and near roof cavities.
"At least this way we would know what we are walking into. You cannot have too much information where this risk is involved.''
Adrian believed demolition should take place only if home owners did not suffer financial disadvantage – having invested in homes they believed were safe.
"They are not to blame in any of this."

text: After a long and brutal winter in parts of the U.S., warmer temperatures and sunshine are finally heading our way. And, although it doesn't seem possible, an entire quarter of this year is behind us already. In most places, schools are out of session -- at least for a few weeks -- which means that families are taking their first major hiatus of the year. And everyone seems to be on Spring Break … except for you. If you spend any time on social media, you probably know exactly what I'm talking about. Your Facebook and Twitter feeds are likely exploding with vacation updates ad nauseam. Sun-bathed selfies have become the norm, along with all those people "checking in" at their favorite resort or restaurant. And I totally get it. Vacation is fun, and people want to share their experience with family members, friends, co-workers, and random acquaintances. But sometimes they take it too far, and those hourly updates can become downright annoying in a hurry, especially if you aren't in a position to take a vacation yourself. Vacation Deprivation Syndrome: A widespread epidemic If you're feeling vacation-deprived, you're not alone. A 2013 study by travel giant Expedia concluded that 59 percent of Americans and 62 percent of workers worldwide feel deprived of time off. And, it isn't just due to lack of opportunity. According to the study, Americans only used ten out of every 14 vacation days they were awarded in 2013, leaving many as 577,212,000 unused. But why? The Expedia study highlights a few of the most popular reasons Americans often choose to forgo their precious paid time off. For starters, 27 percent of survey participants stockpile their vacation days for future use, perhaps for extended travel or maybe "just in case." Another 24 percent have trouble coordinating vacation days with others, a problem I suspect is widespread among families with two working parents. A whopping 35 percent of Americans surveyed had to postpone or cancel vacation due to work obligations or deadlines, and another 17 percent chose to cash in their PTO and take the money in lieu of their earned days off. Breaking the cycle Even if you have vacation days and plan to use them, plenty of issues can force you to stay home. You know how it goes. You save up for a trip but spend the money fixing your leaky roof instead. Or, you find out your child needs braces and, as always, decide to put their needs ahead of your own. Life has a way of creating roadblocks when we least expect them, and we often end up sacrificing leisure activities in order to do the responsible thing. Adulthood can feel rather unrewarding at times, but it doesn't have to be that way. Fortunately, there is one way to ensure that your vacation plans take a higher priority than they have in past years, and that the funds are there when you need them. The solution: A vacation budget.

Stephen A. Smith is getting yet another opportunity to do a radio show, according to moles who know the 25 degree weather of Bristol, CT.
The broadcaster, most celebrated as an NBA Insider, who has bounced around from a number of great gigs since being dumped by ESPN, is returning to the company on the local radio dial in Americas biggest media markets.
Starting Monday night Stephen A. will do a program based mostly from New York City that will simulcast from 9pm till 11pm ET (6-8pm PT) on the ESPN owned and operated stations in Los Angeles (710am) and New York (1050am), according to radio insiders who love to read BenMaller.com
A. Martinez, who had been hosting his own night time show on KSPN in LA will continue on as Smiths sidekick. Martinez will also do a 6-8p block alone in the city of Lakers and Dodgers.
The NY Daily News first reported last week that Smith was about to rejoin 1050 WEPN in New York, a station he had worked for back in 2005.
Stephen A. started hosting a daily hour-long TV show on ESPN called Quite Frankly with Stephen A. Smith in August of 2005, the show was bashed by critics and had low ratings before being cancelled in January of 2007.
Smith more recently hosted the morning show on Fox Sports Radio.

FWIW, this is my first use of SchemeUnit, and I downloaded it by following the link from the Scheme Cookbook (http:// schemecookbook.org/Cookbook/SchemeUnit); there is no apparent reference to v3.x there, or on the SourceForge site. (I'd fix the wiki entry myself, but just offhand I don't see where one would create a user account, or a relevant FAQ...) Cheers, jmj

Did you know that it is possible to remove the Blogger navigation bar and prevent it from appearing at the top of your Blogger-based blog?
Why Remove The Navbar?
Before you ask, "Why would someone want to do that?" here are some reasons:
- you have further control as to the look and feel of your blog
- your blog can look more like a website
- the "Next Blog" link can easily take viewers to a different site, perhaps one that is not related to genealogy or containing inappropriate content
- the "Report For Abuse" makes it too easy for someone to report your blog which can have disastrous consequences
Before you go ahead and remove the navbar, keep in mind that some consider such removal a violation of Blogger's Terms of Service. Despite that, I have not heard of any blog being shut down for removing the navbar so far and many blogs have removed the navbar.
Removing The NavBar
- In the Blogger Dashboard click Layout and then click the Edit HTML tab.
- Before you edit the template code, click Download Full Template in order to create a backup of your template. Save the file in a safe location.
- Locate the code at the bottom of this post (begins with #navbar . . .), highlight it, right-click with your mouse and select Copy.
- Next, place your cursor in the location specified below, right-click with your mouse and select Paste to insert the code.
- Click Save Template. Click View Blog and the navigation bar is removed.
Getting To Your Blogger Dashboard
One downside of removing the navbar is quickly getting to your Blogger Dashboard. The best way to do so is to simply navigate to http://www.blogger.com each time you want to access the Dashboard.
In addition, you may want to add a Search gadget to your sidebar if your readers depend upon the search field in the navbar.

I'm new to PHP and am trying to figure out how to make move_uploaded_file to work.To test and learn PHP I use public_html folder in my home dir, that is: /home/wojtek/public_html. I access it like this: localhost/~wojtek/[…]The server root is /srv/www/htdocs.
Let me show the code. It comes from 'Head First PHP' book. Here you go: http://pastie.org/4809762
The problem is that an uploaded file doesn't reach the temporary folder for uploaded files. I set it to '/srv/www/tmp'. Here is the output of 'ls' command:
drwxrwxrwx 2 root www 4096 Sep 26 17:33 tmp
I don't even know where the temporary folder should go
Apache belongs to 'www' group so I added myself to that group too.
// define application constants
define('GW_UPLOADPATH', '/home/wojtek/public_html/headfirst/ch05/guitarwars/images/');
And here is another problem.*:) I don't altogether know what path should I use – absolute or relative? I tried with:• http://localhost/~wojtek/[…]• /~wojtek/[…]• images/ (the script is in guitarwars/)
and none worked.
The script works. I get no errors. And I even get the temporary name of an uploaded file.
I tried somehow make $SERVER['DOCUMENTROOT'] to work – to get the root of public_html but I always get /srv/www/htdocs.
So I'm completely confused. I don't know:• where should temporary folder be created (in /srv/www/[…] or in public_html?)• why is the temporary folder always empty (no files even when there is no error when file is uploaded)• what destination path of move_uploaded_file should I*use (absolute, relative (relative to what?))
I hope this is not a tricky question and you guys can help me. Thanks in advance!
You are asking a lot of questions, so people are less likely to take the trouble to reply.
I think the crux of your problem is to do with locating tmp directory for PHP (a google results page), although you may have compounded problems with permissions by the sound of it.
The other thing I always fully recommend, not matter how brilliant your book is, is to study fully the Handling File Uploads section of the online manual.
The trick is to identify, isolate and fix one challenge at a time.
Now, did you find your /tmp directory?
Can you upload anything to that directory?
Agreed, and check your phpinfo()! It will identify a lot of what you are asking, the tmp directory should be defined, the SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] is defined (hint: this is set in your Apache configuration).
Also verify the folder you want to move the file to is writeable or has proper permissions for your apache user (usually wwwdata) to access the folder.
Ok, sorry for writing about too many things. First things first.*:)
The temp dir is located at:
upload_tmp_dir = "/srv/www/tmp"
output of ls -hal:
drwxrwxrwx 2 root www 4.0K Sep 27 13:00 tmp
I can copy files there manually without an error.
Which user are you and which user is Apache?
wojtek@linux-4h22:~$ groups
users www video
wojtek@linux-4h22:/etc/apache2$ cat uid.conf
User wwwrun
Group www
I*added at the top of the script these lines:
ini_set("display_errors", 1);
and now get this:
Warning: move_uploaded_file(/home/wojtek/public_html/headfirst/ch05/guitarwars/images/001.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/wojtek/public_html/headfirst/ch05/guitarwars/addscore.php on line 38 Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/srv/www/tmp/phpCb8m0M' to '/home/wojtek/public_html/headfirst/ch05/guitarwars/images/001.jpg' in /home/wojtek/public_html/headfirst/ch05/guitarwars/addscore.php on line 38 upload failed
Which is much clear now. So the problem must be with the destination.
Following the advice on php.net, I*changed the user of images/ to 'nobody' and its rights to '755'. But still with no success.
// editOK, I restored the ownership to my user (wojtek) and gave it 777 rights. Now it works!
The next issue that bothers me is how should I*set the destination? Is it OK*to give the whole, absolute path like this one:
// define application constants
define('GW_UPLOADPATH', '/home/wojtek/public_html/headfirst/ch05/guitarwars/images/');
Can I*for example to make use of relative paths? Kinda '/~wojtek/headfirst/ch05/guitarwars/images/'?
OK. Of course I*can use relative paths now. Thank everybody for interest!


text: High school graduates from the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) are proving to be successful as college graduates, especially those who pursued career-focused degrees. With the nation facing a serious shortage of skilled workers, job opportunities exist even in these difficult economic times, especially in high-demand fields such as: accounting, healthcare and technology . Leading companies are stepping up to hire graduates in those fields. Of particular note are the 300 CPS alumni in the DeVry University 2012 graduating class who have been hired by industry-leading companies and organizations across the Chicagoland area. These students have joined the workforce at dozens of area companies, including Abbott Laboratories, AT&T, Bank of America and Blue Cross Blue Shield to name just a few. "As a CPS alumnus, I want to congratulate the former CPS students in this graduating class. And I want to thank the teachers and administrators of the Chicago Public Schools for their dedication in educating and preparing these students for their future success," said Sharon Thomas Parrott, senior vice president of external relations and global responsibility and chief regulatory compliance officer for DeVry, the parent organization of DeVry University. The DeVry University graduates came from 67 Chicago public high schools across the city including Amundsen High School, Benito Juarez Community Academy, Fenger Academy, Harlan Community Academy, Lane Technical High School, Lincoln Park High School, Orr Academy, Prosser Career Academy and Whitney Young Magnet, among others. "Founded in Chicago in 1931, DeVry University has always had a special relationship with CPS students, and we've been honored to help thousands of CPS alumni further their education and launch their careers," said David J. Pauldine, president of DeVry University. "From the impressive list of companies that hire them, we know that students that graduate from CPS and DeVry University represent an important segment of our region's workforce."

Three Things, One BondLanguage brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
Identify the common bond for the three things in each group. Once you've done that, take the three answers and find their common bond to win a fabulous prize.
Group One: Balloon, Bubble, Weasel
Group Two: Banana, Duck, Sun
Group Three: Dumbo, Mickey Mouse, Despereaux the Mouse
The hint will either provide another word with the same bond or a hint to the bond.
HintGroup One: Tire
Group Two: Certain Types of Cheese
Group Three: Yes, they are all fictional characters, but you need to look at them a bit more, specifically their appearance.
AnswerGroup One: Pop. You can pop a balloon, pop a bubble, pop goes the weasel, and tires can pop.
Group Two: Yellow. Bananas, ducks, the sun, and certain types of cheese are yellow.
Group Three: Ears, Dumbo, Mickey Mouse, and Despereaux the Mouse all had notoriously big ears.
So, that leaves you with: Pop, Yellow, and Ear.
The answer is then: Corn. You can pop corn, corn is yellow, and corn comes in ears.
Congratulations. You win.
Your prize: You can go to a store and buy a yellow ear of corn to make popcorn out of.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Interesting situation. I think I can answer all your questions, but I may need research it further this evening.
First, you said "the property is not finished as of yet," and then you later say you moved there. My question is, did you ever put the property up for rental?
I can't answer your first question untill you tell me when the property was available for rental.
For the second question, you will have to file taxes in both states (if they both have an income tax). In the event that some income is taxed by both states (for example, if earned in one state and received in the other), there will be an offset provision so that you will get a credit in one state for the tax paid in the other.
I don't see a specific instance of that occuring if you moved after you recieved your last paycheck and accumulated sick leave; as you don't specify whether you received the sick leave as a lump sum, I can't tell if it that occured..
For the third question, if your W-2 reports the accumulated sick pay less health insurance, then that's what you pay taxes on. If it reports the accumulated sick pay, then you can deduct the health insurance as a medical expense. According to the IRS, most people claim less in medical expenses than the 7.5% of adjusted gross income, so it wouldn't do them any good. I don't know your specific circumstances, but Medicare parts A (if you have to pay for it), B, C, and D are also deductible as health insurance.
I should add that, if you did ever get the property ready for rental, you would already have to file a tax return in that state, as the rental income is subject to tax in that state as well as your residence state, but most people take a loss on rentals, so you wouldn't have to pay taxes to that state. Again, as in my answer to your second question, if you owe taxes to both states, there is an offset provision.
I'm going to be here intermittently for the next few hours. If you have further questions, I'll try to answer them when I'm here.
If you want immediate answers, you can reopen the question for other experts.
No, we never did put the property up for rent because it is not finished. The house is livable but not completed. We still have to complete putting on a new roof and complete the siding (both only half finished), as well as rewire the house and do some electrical work. If my husband's health had not deteriated (he has stage 4 end-of-life stage of emphysema), we would have eventually finished the house and rented it out. But with my husband's health, we decided I would retire and move into the house, since we owned it and it was fit to live in. The work left to be done doesn't impair our living there.
My W-2 form reports the accumulated sick pay. We usually do exceed the 7.5% for medical deductions.
I'm sorry to hear about your husband. I hope it works out as well as it can.
For your first question, then, you can't claim it as a rental. You might do better claiming it as a vacation home; that way, at least you can deduct mortgage interest and property taxes. As an investment property, claiming the mortgage interest would be problematic.
When you sell your previous house, you can still claim the $500,000 gain exclusion if you do it within 3 years after your move.
Returning to your third question; health inurance is either excluded (if done properly in the W-2) or deductible as a medical expense. There was something in ObamaCare which would have limited the medical deduction for health insurance, but it's been deferred until 2018.
How do you change a rental home (which I had in previous years listed it as) to a vacation home? We were renting our previous house, so selling wasn't a problem.
I'm afraid you should amend prior year returns to remove schedule E for the property which was not actually available for rental, but add its mortgage interest and property tax to your schedule A. This will probably increase your taxes, so you will also have to pay interest, but probably not penalties.
Many states have one more year open then the Federal government's 3 years from the filing date (or due date, if later); you may only amend Federal 2008 and later returns.

USU Researchers Trial Wireless Charging of Electric Bus

Charging system is quite forgiving of air gap, misalignment with charging pad
Utah State University
's Wireless Power Transfer team has applied "a mix of modern advances in engineering and
Nikola Tesla's principles of induction
" to create a unique mass transport electric vehicle, the Aggie Bus.
While the Aggie Bus at first blush is just a battery-electric conversion of a standard passenger bus, it has a pretty unique trick.
Professor Hunter Wu
's team of faculty and student researchers, along with engineers at the
Utah Science Technology and Research
(USTAR) initiative's Advanced Transportation Institute at USU, created wireless power transfer (WPT) pads that charge the bus as it reaches stops.
The pads can deliver up to 5 kilowatts at 90-percent electrical transfer efficiency, over a 10-inch airgap. The charger also maintains that efficiency even if the bus is "off" (misaligned) with the charging pad by up to six inches. This helps, by making it far easier for the driver to hit the charging zone. The system can deliver a peak power of 25 kilowatts, albeit at lower efficiency.
The inductive charging transformer (bottom) take power from the grid (top) and transfer it to a detached electrical device, e.g. the Aggie Bus via a magnetic field. [Image Source: WAVE Inc.]
A spinoff,
WAVE Inc.
, will deploy the electric bus next year in the real world. The first commercial demonstration will be placed on the campus of Utah State University, located in the city of Logan in the northern Utah panhandle. The bus, which will be launched in collaboration with the Utah Transit Authority, will be forty-feet long and will ferry students around campus, powering up from a next-generation 50 kilowatt variant of the WPT pads.

The bus is being paid for by USU and a $2.7M USD grant from the
U.S. Federal Transit Administration
(FTA), a subagency of the
U.S. Department of Transportation
WAVE CEO Wesley Smith comments, "Current battery limitations prevent an all-electric transit bus from operating all day from an overnight charge. WAVE solves that problem by charging the bus wirelessly during its daily operations when the bus stops to load and off-load passengers. This technology makes electric buses competitive with their
diesel hybrid and CNG counterparts
Robert T. Behunin, Ph.D., USU vice president of commercialization and regional development praised the upcoming Aggie Bus and current prototype, commenting, "The unveiling of the Aggie Bus today is a historic achievement and a great leap forward in the science and engineering related to electric vehicles. As a result of the work done by Utah State engineers, scientists and partners, EV owners and operators will now be able to simply drive over a pad in the ground to recharge their batteries, the benefits of which reach far beyond convenience."
Given the increasing popularity of inductive charging
for cell phones
other electronics
, it's not surprising to see an urban EV inductive charging scheme floated. In fact inductive chargers are already be cooked up elsewhere
for consumer
electric vehicles
. Such a concept could see substantial traction in "green minded" cities like New York City or San Francisco.
However, it could also face some opposition from the
WiFi-fearing crowd
in such regions, who are
already railing against the dangers of
more isolated cell phone broadcasting towers.

Bloomsburg Pennsylvania Golf Courses
|Wolf Hollow Golf Center
Additional Golf Course Reviews:
|Indian Mountain Golf Course -- UNREAL
|Review by: Art.M
|First off I am very local to this course and it should be a very busy executive 9 but it is not!!. There are many reasons for this.While the greens keeper is doing a good job with the grass he has also been left in charge of the course,Bad move he (carl)is obnoctious and rude to the players an intimadating grounds keeper left in charge is terrible his head is so big I could not tell you what to do with it all I can say is that I did not have to pay this monday for a round there so I went.From this day on I will never golf at indian mnt in kresgeville PA again when I can golf Hideaway hills for a few bucks more and not be harrassed to return my cart by 7.30 pm therefore forced to walk the remaining 6 holes because someone is to cheap to pay a shopkeeper an additional hour and a half all of witch amounts to less than 20 dollars I am sure.Rest Assured as long as a arrogent greens keeper is in charge of this course,with no bussiness savy you are going to spend the same money as a full eighteen hole course to shoot the same 9 twice.My conclusion would be unless it is free or you just cannot get out anywhere else do not go there.Hideaway hills is 30 for twilight w/cart starts 3pm and they do not harrass or intimadate you at all carts come in when you finish.!!At indian mnt I have accused and humilliated by a lowley greens keeper for no good reason.!!!I do not know what else to say except if it were reasonable for 9 holes at twilight starting at 4 no cart due in by time, I may consider to continue to play there if things change if not I will spend my money at hidawayhills or whitetail or cherryvally or even alfortene witch is areal crappy course but the people running it are much nicer and not of the harrassing breed. So see ya on the better courses and if not on the courses run by nicer people.I hope this is a help To indian mnt for it is less than a mile from my home but I refuse to spend the same money for 9 twice when I can get 18 differant holes and more time to enjoy them without an obnoctious head greenskeeper on my rear all day. See Ya Art.M Want to reply to my comments firstname.lastname@example.com

Precious Outerwear – Massimo Sforza outerwear is well-known contender in the world of luxury outerwear offerings and is also the category that drives the brand. Exotic skins like crocodile and ostrich are a definite specialty of the house, but other incredibly special garments in techno-silk, plush cashmere or supple French nappa with their exquisite leather details and removable sable, mink or chinchilla linings prove plenty irresistible. VIP made-to-measure garments, special orders for heads of states and particular requests as unusual as removable bullet-proof linings are welcome and always executed with enthusiasm and perfection.
"I don"t want to dictate a particular trend," says the designer Massimo Sforza of his own collection, "and I don"t want the label to be a symbol for the super trendy or eccentric. Instead, I want to design unique and enjoyable items that are timeless, but that are also able to reflect the essence of what is happening "in the now". In that moment when a man stands in front of his wardrobe, I don"t want him to worry - or even think - too much about composing a refined, sophisticated, modern and comfortable dressing solution. Dressing should be both pleasurable and effortless for my customer."
There is both modesty and irony in his statement since there is absolutely nothing "effortless" in the design or manufacture of the Massimo Sforza collections. Relentlessly insisting on using only premium raw materials and collaborating with only the most prestigious artisan talent in Italy, Massimo Sforza personally controls the entire maturation – from design to distribution - of his collection. He demands that scrupulous attention always be paid to even the smallest details of his product.
"Dandy Cool" seemingly an oxymoron, was the theme of the 2008 inaugural collection and still remains valid as the catch phrase that embodies the fundamental style concept of the Massimo Sforza brand: a unique blend of the classic elegance inspired by the iconic "dandy" sophisticate with a measured twist of contemporary fashion to convey a distinctive, sexier and fresh – or "cool" – look.
"Luxury Absolute" refers to the absolute highest quality standards to which all products bearing the Massimo Sforza label are held. It also appropriately sums up the choice lifestyle of the Massimo
Sforza customer, a man who enjoys, and is accustomed to, surrounding himself with only the ultimate - or absolute – in luxury.
Never will Massimo dip below his elite standards in regards to quality, nor will his finger ever lift from the pulse of the contemporary man. Visually and palpably luxurious collections will consistently roll out each season as "Dandy Cool" and "Luxury Absolute" will forever remain the brand's constant foundation, objective, promise and product guarantee.

Ralph and I are big fans of the 7.62x54R caliber Mosin-Nagant as a budget-priced purveyor of high-velocity lead. If you were lucky enough to find an unissued M44 carbine for a measly sixty-five bucks a few years ago, or if you picked up an arsenal-refinished 91/30 at Big 5 Goods last month, then you already know what we're talking about.
And you already know the Mosin-Nagant's Achilles' Heel: many of them are cursed with heavy, gritty trigger pulls.
First, a quick safety disclaimer: Most trigger work is best left to the professionals, because the trigger and sear on your rifle are the only things preventing it from going boom the instant you close the bolt on a live round. Remington Model 700 owners should think extra long and hard before modifying their rifle's on-off switches if they want to avoid unintentional discharges.
Fortunately, the simple (many would say 'crude') design of the Mosin-Nagant trigger allows the aspiring Bubba Gunsmith to smooth out and lighten the trigger pull without altering the sear engagement or trigger spring stiffness at all.
Step One: safety check
Open the bolt, make sure the gun isn't loaded, and hold the trigger while you pull the bolt back out of the receiver.
Step Two: remove the stock
Take off the front 'Dog Collar' sling and remove the cleaning rod. Then push the front and rear stock retaining bands forward until they're hanging around the front sight post, and remove the upper handguard. The upper handguard is a slender piece of well-aged stock wood, and it's the only part of a Mosin-Nagant that anyone could call 'fragile.'
Now remove the two stock screws. If they're not rusted in place or over-torqued, you can use the handy included spike bayonet as a 'Soviet Screwdriver,' but a properly-fitting gunsmith screwdriver will always work better. (When reassembling, remember that the shorter screw goes up front and the longer one goes in back.)
Step Three: remove the sear and trigger
Your workbench should look more or less like this now:
Set aside the stock and study the trigger/sear assembly at the rear of the receiver. If you've never removed the sear screw before, it will probably be extremely tight. If it is, this is a good time to apply a few drops of Liquid Wrench, wait several minutes, and give the sear screw a few thumps with a brass or polymer hammer.
Turn the barreled action on its back, and use a properly-fitting gunsmith's screwdriver to remove the sear screw. Clean it and degrease it, because it's going to need a spot of blue Loctite during reassembly.
Now use a punch, pencil, or the corner of your fingernail to push out the trigger pin. They usually have loose tolerances and push out very easily.
This will allow you to completely remove the sear/spring and the trigger. Once they're out it will look like this:
Step Four: polish the top and sides of the sear/spring
Notice how the sear/spring passes through the top of the trigger? When you pull the trigger it hinges on the trigger pin and the bottom of the trigger 'box' rubs against the top of the sear/spring. This pulls the sear downward and the sear 'hook' (the squared-off part at the back of the sear/spring) allows the firing pin to fly forward inside the bolt.
The top and sides of the sear spring (not the sear 'hook') are the ONLY sear surfaces you're going to polish.
Using very fine sandpaper or emery cloth (600 grit or finer), polish the upper surface of the sear spring as shown here:
Those sideways machine marks are the main reason that Mosin-Nagants have such gritty trigger pulls. They are the enemy and they must be eliminated, but don't be tempted to use a grinding wheel or Dremel tool. A single slip with a power tool can grind away too much metal and weaken the spring, or the rapid abrasion can overheat the metal and ruin the temper. Either mistake can leave you with an unsafe weapon, so just use fine sandpaper and your fingers and go slowly until it's nice and smooth.
You can tell from this picture that I didn't go for a 'mirror finish' on my Mosin's sear spring, but the rifle now has a very satisfactory trigger pull.
The sides of the sear/spring also rub against the inside of the trigger 'box', so polish them too if they're rough.
Step Five: polish the inside top of the trigger 'box'
This is where we need to polish your Mosin's trigger. Mount the trigger in a padded vise and polish this interior surface by pulling a thin strip of fine sandpaper back and forth across it for a few minutes. You can also de-burr the outer sides of the trigger 'box' if they're visibly rough.
Step Six: polish, reassemble, test, repeat
While you polish the sear spring and trigger box, occasionally stop to reassemble the sear and trigger. Don't tighten the sear screw too hard, just screw it all the way in and slip the action back into the stock. Replace the bolt and dry-fire it a few times to test how smooth the trigger is getting. If it still needs more work, disassemble it and polish it more until it feels acceptable.
Don't mess with the bolt or the sear hook
Unless you're a gunsmith, I don't recommend doing anything to the bolt other than disassembling it and cleaning it thoroughly. (Check YouTube for tutorials on bolt disassembly and reassembly.) Trying to polish or reshape the bolt's hammer notch won't help the trigger pull much, and it's more likely to lead to an unsafe rifle. Same goes for the sear hook.
Carefully clean the trigger and sear so that no traces of abrasive remain, and then smudge them with some high-temperature grease before fitting them together and replacing the trigger pin. Put a drop of blue Loctite (not the permanent red stuff) on the degreased sear screw and screw it down tight. You don't want it backing out during firing, because that would lead to unintentional discharges when the sear hook simply falls away from the hammer notch.
Replace the stock, sling and cleaning rod, and let the Loctite cure for a few hours before shooting it. Be extra-cautious when you test-fire it the first time, and stop firing if the trigger pull starts to feel too light; it might mean that your sear screw is backing out. I've never had this happen with my own Mosin trigger projects, but it's a dangerous condition if it happens.
Here's a recap video:
I don't pretend to have invented this method myself. I watched a lot of YouTube videos and studied the parts of my two Mosins for hours before I dove into the project, and the results on my two Mosins have been excellent.
It dramatically improved the shootability of my 91/30, an arsenaled 1943 Izhvesk. It came to me with a completely hideous trigger pull, and it now breaks at a hair over 5 pounds, with a long takeup and only a little grittiness. My 1946 M44 came from the factory with a remarkably decent trigger (for a Mosin-Nagant) and this Bubba Gunsmith trigger job made it even better. It now pulls perfectly smoothly and breaks at exactly 4 pounds. Except for the takeup and overtravel, it feels almost like a good (but not great) commercial trigger.
If you've got a Mosin with a balky trigger, this no-cost and low-risk trigger job might persuade you to take it shooting more often. And remember, every time someone takes an old mil-surp rifle shooting, an angel gets its wings.
28 Responses to A Bubba Gunsmith's Guide to the Mosin-Nagant Trigger
My most recent Mosin-Nagant was purchased last year at the "Black Friday" sale at one of the big box sports stores, and was one of millions with bayonet, cleaning kit, tool kit, sling, oiler and ammo pouches. It was packed in stiff grease, so some cheap Walmart engine degreaser followed up with a slathering of WD-40 left it sparkling clean ( a job done out doors for obvious health and safety reasons).
A sealed ham can of cheap military Russian 7.62-54R (corrosive) purchased online provided the fodder.
Everything works great, and with a healthy coating of some Teflon (SuperLube), the trigger was manageable without any refinishing. My only issue is that the bayonet does not fully lock in place (as if I will ever really need it). No amount of cleaning and lube will allow it to fully lock in place, so some minor grinding of the bayonet socket may be necessary.
Recoil was about the same as my 03-A3, and at 50 and 100 yards with the cheap Russky military ball, I was able to get acceptable groups (keeping all shots in the black).
At a local gun show, someone always has a rack of Century Arms Mosin-Nagants, that come in a box, with all of the accoutrements for between $80 – $110, depending on date, and condition. He always has a few that are $20 off because the came out to the box with a broken stock. These all had the same problem, the toe of the butt stock (made out of 2 pieces of wood!) came apart right at the seam, as if they became unglued.
Maybe at the next gun show I will buy one with a broken stock, as I have seen some inexpensive sporter stocks for the Mosin-Nagant, as well as an inexpensive scope mount, and some other enhancements.
Chris, my man, you didn't let me down! I performed the same trigger refinement on a 91/30 last year with great success. I also shimmed another trigger with a piece of cut-up aluminum can because the emery cloth treatment didn't do enough. Neither is ever going to be an Accu-trigger, but at least I know now that when a make a crappy shot it isn't the trigger's fault. As you stressed to aspiring Bubbas and Bubbettes, slow and steady is the way to go. We can always take off more; we can't add back.
I'm finishing up an article on the 91/30 sight and stock fix-me-ups that should be ready next week. Man, I love these old Russian rifles!
Thanks a ton….getting to it now
MN 91/30 bayonets often need the gentle "help" of a rubber mallet or a block of wood being hit with a hammer.
As it was intended for the bayonet to be permanently attached it was seen as a good thing tolerances are extremely tight. The rifle is even set up with sights to include the bayonet attached and the change in impact point that this brings. Your rifle is quite normal with the tight bayonet.
Well, lets see. I've got 12 Mosin Nagants sitting in my gun safe (8ea 91/30s and 4ea M-44s) … Now all I need to do is find a friend who knows how to polish the triggers on those beasts …. Hmmm… who do I know that possesses the skills necessary for this delicate task?
The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and the proof of the 'smithing is in the groups. Not to be an internet pedant, but do you have before and after groups to prove that the work was worth the effort?
Its not only about group size; there are aesthetic, ergonomic and haptic intangibles which can improve a gun without necessarily making it more accurate. I don't have before-and-after group sizes, but I do have two guns with much better triggers.
Some Mosins might not gain much accuracy from this, if their bores have been corroded or shot out, but they'll still be more enjoyable to shoot. A Mosin with a good barrel will be more enjoyable *and* slightly more accurate.
If you do a Bubba Gunsmith trigger job and it's still inaccurate, you'll probably have an easier time selling it if the trigger feels nice and you'll probably get a few bucks more for it.
Thanx, informative post. IMO trigger jobs do not improve the accuracy of the rifle, but work wonders for the accuracy of the shooter. So before and after groups would be subjective, to say the least.
I've done the shim trick, as well as polishing the trigger surfaces, on one of my Mosins. Safe if you take your time, and check your work before taking to the range. I checked mine (unloaded of course) by banging the buttstock against the floor 100+ times to make sure it wouldn't spontaneously trigger.
I have been working this week on evaluating Mosin Nagant trigger.
I have taken data on trigger of a matrix of 4 original trigger, 4 sears, and 5 cocking pieces.
That ranges from 3 pounds to 12 pounds on my Wagner force gauge.
I have also measured the effect of adjusting a Huber or Timney trigger or adding washers or layers of tape with those components.
Aside from the Timney, the original parts seem to be the driver, so I am no going to measure the effect of polishing the sear, cocking piece, and trigger.
Instead of polishing with sand paper, you may achieve the same result if not better by using lapping compound on the areas of the trigger assembly that cause friction. Apply, reassemble, and work the trigger a dozen times or so and check progress. This technique will limit the wear only to the problem areas and reduce the risk of over polishing or polishing areas that are not needed.
I have completed my study.
Polishing does no measurable good.
The answer is to bend the sear or buy a Timney.
Polishing is a waste of time.
Huber is a waste of money.
"Polishing does no measurable good" followed quickly by "Polishing is a waste of time."
The problem here is that you don't inherently understand the point of polishing, otherwise you'd know that it doesn't affect trigger weight. The point is to smooth out machining marks so that when you are pulling it's more even without any grittiness.
If you're going to spend time making a video, make sure you understand what you're talking about.
When the trigger force is way too high due to a manufacturing error and the goal is to get it down by a factor of 3, polishing is a waste of time.
I've got seven Mosin Nagant's, both model 38's and 44's. I've restored six over the years (stock and bluing touchup) but never did any significant shooting. I decided to restore the last one (an M44) and shoot it. I studied the trigger info to see if I could apply any of it to this Mosin. When I checked the backround of the arm I found out that it is a Polish M44. The internal finish is leaps beyond the Russian's. The trigger components are smooth and polished, no machine marks. The trigger feels smooth. I think that I picked the right one to clean-up and shoot…
The firing pin spring is also very stiff, and is compressed a quite alot. Getting a lighter spring, or cutting the original will also give a lighter trigger pull. Im guessing the original is made to be able to force through anything to get to the primer, or maybe the primers needed alot of force to ignite in 1900s. I have cut mine down so 1/2 inch of it is showing from the bolt before screwing the firing pin back in place. I have fired many hundreds of rounds through it with no miss fires with surplus ammo and new stuff. Just make shur you dont cut to much or bend it while cutting it.
My Mosin shoots well but I notice that when I start to squeeze the trigger, I can see the rear of the bolt carrier drop. Once it goes as far as it can, more pull will actually fire the rifle. If I stick a dime or something under the very end of the bolt carrier to prevent it from dropping, the rifle fires way more smoothly and with a whole lot less pull. I assume this means that the milling or the bolt carrier has way too much clearance. Was thinking of sputtering or adding a little metal to the very end of the receiver and smoothing that down until the bolt carrier fits and has the proper clearance.
Mine does the same thing. Let me know if that smooths it out.
Where do I purchase a "trigger pin" I was cleaning my Mosin Nagant and it fell out. I can not find it, do any of you gents have any suggestions?
This approach worked really well for me, but with one variation. Rather than sandpaper, I used 000 steel wool. Vastly smoother trigger pull.
+1 on the William Wallace comment. That trigger pin is very, very loose. Almost lost it more than once. Spares now on order.
Very good advice. I used a stereoscope to look inside the trigger box and I could see three sharp ridges right where the sear pin engages. Using a strip of 600 grit paper and gentle rubbing motion, I smoothed the ridges to a gentle curvature. A few drops of machine oil in the box and screwing the seer spring screw down to the stock did the trick. I tried the pull and it is already lighter than before. Doing the "bounce the rifle" trick on the concrete patio did not cause the firing pin to move forward. I guess we will find out how good the job was at the firing range with live Bulgarian surplus ammunition.
Stay tuned and thanks for the good advice.
I tested the trigger sanding job at the range. The pull is definitely ligher than before and the hits were grouped tighter. I still need to learn to keep my left hand steady while aiming, though. Practice, practice, practice.
Next on the modification list: the co-axial trigger spring to remove the trigger slack.
Many thanks to all the contributors for the good advice on the website.
Mine has lighter and smoother pull without the washer. Without the washer the second spring is almost pointless, but I put one in backwards from what he showed (to pull the slack backwards) and it works great. Smooth pull and no slack.
I just received in the mail Colt 22lr (made by Aguila) 500 brick and mosin trigger spring and washer, bent for the curve under sear screw. The spring, washer and install instructions for $2.95! All the slack is gone and trigger feels like 4 to 5 lbs. I found these at United Nations Ammo. I'm pretty sure that's the name. If it is not I will repost. Check it out.
thanks you all the comments will help me!

Credit Suisse has left its "outperform" recommendation on
The company cited continued uncertainty around the iron ore price for not providing guidance for the 2013.
"[The] AGM did not provide FY13 or 1H quantitative guidance due to continued uncertainty around the Iron ore price, FX and domestic and international markets. As expected, and as modelled, there will be a 'significant' bias of earnings to the second half as the Southern Iron expansion comes online and the hoped for external operating environment improves."
Credit Suisse has made earnings downgrades to reflect its own iron ore price assumptions, cutting its forecast by 27 per cent for the year to June 2013, and by 28 per cent in 2014, to 9.8¢ and 20.7¢ respectively. The broker also cut its 12-month price target to 95¢ (from $1.15).

Windows XP's Big Fix
It's an unsafe world out there for Windows-based computers. Microsoft wants to address the problem with its new megapatch, Service Pack 2 for Windows XP. Does it succeed? Not entirely. But the big fix does so much to close security holes and to make protecting your PC simpler that it's still an essential upgrade.
As we went to press, Microsoft was predicting that SP2 would get to consumers in August. This giant patch--the biggest single update since Windows XP itself was released--promises to cure many of the known security ills that have befallen XP since it debuted in late 2001, and to preemptively put a stop to a still-unknown number of others.
But it's not just a big security fix; SP2 makes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth networks easier to navigate, adds new features to Tablet and Media Center PCs, and updates XP's multimedia components. It all comes in a 220MB package that (at press time, when we saw only the Release Candidate 2 beta version) installs in under an hour over broadband.
We tested a beta version of SP2 on a handful of systems and encountered no major problems. However, it's impossible to know how the finished product will do when people load it on millions of different computers built in millions of different configurations. You should be sure to take the usual precautions whenever making a major update: Back up crucial files, create a System Restore point before you start--and don't begin the installation if you have a pressing deadline looming. Microsoft will provide free phone support for SP2.

Steven Jackson's contract will likely be void after this season, making Jackson an unrestricted free agent in 2013.
According to Pete Prisco of CBS, the Rams will allow Jackson to void his contract following this season, even though he hasn't reached the incentives required for him to do so.
The move is strange to say the least, considering he's the Rams' most recognizable player.
The only logical explanation I can come up with is that the Rams are trying to move on to a new era with Sam Bradford as their centerpiece.
At this point, it doesn't really matter why the Rams are content with allowing Steven Jackson out of his contract. The important thing is that he'll likely be one of the top free agents next offseason.

Really friendly staff who dealt with any queries. Excellent value for money when it also includes a decent free breakfast in the morning. Beds not very comfortable and maybe more plug sockets would have been useful, built into lockers or something perhaps. Main issue was the difficulty in getting in and out of a top bunk. The ladders had holes of random shapes and sizes; a traditional rung ladder would be safer and easier.
Hello there! Thank you for your feedback. We're so glad you found our staff helpful and approachable. We appreciate the points you have made about the rooms and have taken it under advisement as well. We hope to see you again when you return to London! Thank you, Clink Team.

Had an excellent stay, well looked after and friendly and cooperative staff. Always a helpful attitude. Only downsides were the state of a couple of the toilets, the showers weren't brilliant and it would have been nice to have a kitchen. But still an excellent stay!
Hi, Your comments are appreciated and help us to make changes where necessary.

'There are no second acts in American life,' Scott Fitzgerald famously said. Elegant, memorable, and wrong. The comeback is an essential part of American politics, sport, religion and showbusiness, central to a national belief in redemption, the re-creation of the self, and the second chance in life. Hollywood loves and celebrates the comeback as a means of looking away from the ruined lives that litter Sunset Boulevard. Major 1930s star Gloria Stuart, absent from the screen for 50 years, returns in Titanic at the age of 87 and gets an Oscar nomination as Best Supporting Actress. Character actor Lee van Cleef's career that began as a heavy in High Noon (1952) collapsed in the early Sixties. He abandoned the profession, only to be rescued from oblivion, whisked off to Rome by Sergio Leone and turned into a major European star in For a Few Dollars More
But it's the field of child stardom where real tragedies and occasional triumphant comebacks are celebrated, and one of the most remarkable happened this year. Most of course just fade away or change their professions. A very few make the grade as adult stars, though rarely without some psychic injury - most famously Judy Garland and Natalie Wood. Jackie Coogan, the greatest silent child actor, who appeared in Chaplin's The Kid (1921) aged seven, became world-famous and rich. His parents stole his money, California enacted the Child Actors Bill (known as the Coogan Bill) to protect other kids from similar treatment, and a bald, obese Jackie is now largely remembered for his appearance on TV as Uncle Fester in the 1960s The Addams Family. Coogan lived into his late sixties, unlike Bobby Driscoll, who became a heroin addict in his teens and ended up in a pauper's grave aged 31.
No wonder Hollywood is excited by the upturn in the career of Jackie Earle Haley, the little tough guy born in 1961 who became a star in The Day of the Locust, The Bad News Bears (and its sequels) and the excellent Breaking Away. He wasn't a beautiful child, like Kurt Russell or Dean Stockwell, who both eventually made it as adult performers. In the early 1980s with no work in TV or cinema, Haley embarked on a series of jobs in LA - chauffeur, security guard, pizza deliverer. Rejected by Tinseltown he relocated to San Antonio, Texas, to work for a firm making commercials and industrial training movies. Out of the blue (while honeymooning in France with his third wife) Haley got an invitation to test for the role of the taciturn driver-bodyguard in the remake of All the King's Men. This was followed by Little Children. Apparently his acting vocation had been rekindled. He'd come across a draft screenplay of the film, and sent an audition tape to director Todd Field to seek the role of the sad middle-aged paedophile. These films have just opened here and Haley is the most memorable presence in both.

Really great friendly team. Left the place neat and tidy - nothing was too much trouble. We had to wait a while for them to fit us in but then again I would be worried if the turned up the next day! Value for money yes - not the cheapest but by no means most expensive. Would be happy to have them back again.
Did a great job, on time, easy communication, good value. Will use Flamur again.
