Sad thing is, Ed Schultz thinks he's being clever.
Schultz repeatedly mispronounced the last name of Fox News' Steve Doocy on "The Ed Show" last night, saying it as "douch-y" instead of "DO-see" through indifference to accuracy or a sense of humor stuck in his high school locker room. (video after page break)
In what passes for Schultz digging deep, the MSNBC host was criticizing Doocy for citing new research that describes Fox News as most balanced network in its coverage of the 2012 presidential campaign --
SCHULTZ: And in "Psycho Talk" tonight, Steve Doocy insists Fox News is the most unbiased network around. As proof, Doocy proudly pointed to a study from the Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University on press coverage of the 2012 presidential race.
DOOCY (from "Fox & Friends"): Interestingly enough, the most negative press comes from NBC. They have 73 percent negative to 27 percent positive stories about the race. Meanwhile, the most balanced coverage? Fox, 52 percent positive, 48 percent negative. So, fair and balanced not only a slogan, we actually live by it.
SCHULTZ (guffawing): I've shown you over and over again how fair and unbalanced Fox is.
This from a man who threatened to "torch this f***ing place" in a fit of pique after MSNBC gave him insufficiently reverent placement in a network promo. More aptly-dubbed psycho talk from the master --
SCHULTZ: Like when Eric Bolling accused "The Muppets" movie of trying to brainwash kids with an anti-capitalistic, liberal agenda.
The same Eric Bolling who bought Schultz a drink last summer at a Manhattan steakhouse, followed by Schultz thanking him and talking with Bolling for 15 minutes, followed months later by Schultz vehemently denying he had ever spoken to Bolling.
Continuing his ridicule of Doocy and Fox, Schultz then cited an "expert" who "weighed in on Bolling's accusation" -- Miss Piggy. Fox News cites George Mason University, Schultz cites the Muppets, each keenly aware of their respective audience --
MISS PIGGY (at mock press conference): It's almost as laughable as accusing Fox News of, you know, being news.
SCHULTZ: I mean, even Miss Piggy is talking about how biased Fox News is, so obviously there's something fishy going on with this study that Doocy's talking about.
Or as Schultz actually said it, "something fishy going on with this study that Douchy's talking about."
Imagine, if you will, Schultz's openly gay MSNBC colleague Rachel Maddow marrying a woman who shares Doocy's last name and Maddow deciding to take Doocy as her last name. And imagine the uproar among liberals and feminists if a prominent media conservative denigrated Rachel "Douchy" for promoting her "fishy" agenda. The fire from those effigies would truly light the world.
MSNBC booted Schultz for a week last spring after he maligned Laura Ingraham as a "right-wing slut" and "talk slut." It's worth remembering that MSNBC did this after Schultz make his hateful remarks on his radio show -- not on MSNBC.
Having paid for his misogyny in the past, Schultz now tries to fly under the radar with it.

HAMPSHIRE Constabulary has signed up to the 'Best Use of Stop and Search' scheme that Home Secretary Theresa May announced this week.
Chief Constable Andy Marsh said:"It is important that we do everything possible to build trust and to help our communities feel safe.
"That is why we will be implementing these changes by late October.
"Officers should only use these powers when there is a clearly defined policing need, but we also need to do more to increase public understanding of why and when it is appropriate to use stop and search powers, and when it is not."
Home Secretary Theresa May said: "Nobody wins when stop and search is misused, it can be an enormous waste of police time and damage the relationship between the public and police.
"That is why I am delighted Hampshire Constabulary has committed to reforming their use of stop and search."

How did SF police chief become ruler of city?
SFPD chief unilaterally changed policy at BAY TO BREAKERS,
from tolerance in 2013 to crackdown in 2014. Who needs a Board of Supes, if Suhr dictates?
Open letter to the San Francisco
Board of Supervisors:
[ board_of_supervisors [at] ci.sf.ca.us ]
I attended Board and committee meetings when the Board was considering the
"Wiener ordinance" on nudity in the streets of San Francisco.
Unless memory fails, all eleven supervisors
understood that the ordinance would allow traditional nudity
[ clothing-optionality] at BAY TO BREAKERS, at Pride,
and at the Folsom Street Events [ "Up Your Alley" in July,
and Folsom Street Fair in September].
I cannot recall even one Supervisor
-- not among the six who voted FOR the ordinance.
nor among the five who voted AGAINST it--
who openly advocated banning nudity at
Bay to Breakers. Not one.
The ordinance took effect in February 2013,
and nudity was duly and fully tolerated by SFPD at B2B 2013, in May.
Nobody was surprised.
But fast-forward to the days leading up to B2B 2014:
Out of the blue, SFPD Chief Suhr announces that the tolerance of 2013
will not continue in 2014.
[ http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2014/05/13/sfpd-chief-spells-out-bay-to-breakers-rules-nuditys-not-okay/ ]
So, WHAT HAD CHANGED, from May 2013 to May 2014?
On television, Suhr said there would be families with kids at B2B 2014.
Did he forget that such families had been present in 2013, and in previous years?
[San Francisco parents already expected nudity at B2B; so some may
chose to bring their kids anyway, and some may chose to boycott this event.]
What was different about 2014, compared to 2013?
Some persons, online, have also mentioned that Bay to Breakers
has a vague rule* concerning "clothing" worn by "competitors. Yet, so far as I know, the rule has been on the books --- and IGNORED by B2B organizers -- for several years, or more.
As far as this rule goes, WHAT HAD CHANGED, from 2013 to 2014?
Was Suhr's attitude the only thing that changed?
Did Suhr consult the Board Of Supervisors, before abolishing the tolerance which
prevailed as a consensus policy in 2013 and before?
Did he even consult the Mayor?
[ Was I sleeping when martial law was declared, imposing one-man rule
in San Francisco?]
Citizens can read, and debate, proposed laws;
elected legislators can vote YES or NO; then courts can weigh constitutional issues.
That's how American democracy works. Loud, complex, and messy? For sure!
Our system has flaws; but it's still better than dictatorship
*** This citizen respectfully requests that the Board, or a committee, investigate HOW and why the Police Chief ignored the B2B consensus of 2013, and unilaterally imposed his own policy in 2014. ***
Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom!

"6.2. Athletic Attire: In all events competitors must wear clothing that is clean, designed and worn so as not to be objectionable. USATF Rule 142"
[ Questions about Rule 142:
(A) Precisely what is "objectionable"? By the standards of Saudi Arabia, or Denmark?
Tehran or Sidney?
In some countries, a man's bare chest would be objectionable; in Los Angeles, a man's bare chest might be okay, but a woman's bare chest would be illegal;
in Santa Cruz and in San Francisco, any person may lawfully go bare-chested on the streets
. So the meaning of "objectionable" is subjective; varying widely with geography, religions, cultures, subcultures, personal tastes, etc. Could PETA object to costumes made of real animal fur; but "non-object" to fake fur?
[B] Precisely which persons are considered "competitors" in B2B?
Spectators and bystanders? Pirates? Walkers?
Anyone who officially registers?
Or just those registrants who move across the starting line and continue moving
until they cross the finish line?

text: Those convinced that divorce comes too easily in America should consider the alternative found in many other parts of the world. Divorce Iranian Style, a documentary directed by Kim Longinotto and Ziba Mir-Hosseini, provides an eyebrow-raising glimpse of the Iranian divorce courts, a legal arena whose firm patriarchal bias is at odds with Western notions of due process and fairness. Though a man can leave his wife at any time, Islamic law decrees that a woman can only be granted a divorce under the most specific of circumstances: She must first give proof that her husband is infertile, unsupportive, or insane. But even if a couple reaches some mutual agreement, the disadvantaged wife must still frequently make some exorbitant concessions. One woman escapes marriage by waiving her rights to the $10,000 wedding gift promised by her husband; another gives up possession of her two young children. Challenging the courts can often take years, and with the law almost always in the husband's favor, it's a real uphill battle. Many women settle for some mild promises before happily returning home. Longinotto and Mir-Hosseini, herself a divorced Iranian now living in London, are far from impartial spectators. Several times they are called upon to participate in the proceedings, and more often than not, their subjects turn toward the camera to make some aside or at least smile. In one case, a woman who just moments earlier denied ripping a court order in two admits her paper-tearing defiance to the filmmakers with a grin and a giggle. The courtroom is generally portrayed as a bureaucratic, chaotic circus, witness to the most desperate of strategies and brimming over with bickering couples. But in general, the women are shown to be both strong and shrewd, and the feminist vantage of the directors justified in light of their subjects' circumscribed rights.

Brickfield gets a reprieve on Pinellas Commission
A few weeks ago, we showed off a site by a critic of Pinellas County Commissioner Neil Brickfield. The site, neilbrickfield.com, ripped the commissioner mostly for spending decisions by the county and his record in Safety Harbor.
But apparently site creator Tom Rask has a new appreciation for Brickfield, based on the site's latest message:
"I put up this website in order to criticize Neil Brickfield for not being careful enough with the tax dollars. However, after Brickfield's vote against the wasteful 2010 county budget, and other signs that he is beginning to realize the seriousness of the economic situation, I decided to withdraw my criticism for the time being," Rask says on the drastically reduced site.

Organics Now 'Mainstream': Study
CHICAGO -- The organic movement has definitely burst onto the mainstream, according to new research from intelligence provider Mintel here.
CHICAGO -- The organic movement has definitely burst onto the mainstream, according to new research from intelligence provider Mintel here.
Mintel reported that organic food sales have grown a whopping 132 percent since 2002, while organic beverage sales nearly doubled (97 percent) during the same period. Together, the organic food and beverage markets now make up a nearly $6 billion dollar a year industry.
"This isn't a niche market full of environmental health nuts and affluent yuppies anymore," said Marcia Mogelonsky, senior research analyst at Mintel, in a statement. "Organic is now part of the picture for everyone from the Hispanic immigrant mother to the hip suburban teen next door. With health issues and food contamination cases in the news, many people have begun looking for safer, more natural food and drink."
Looking ahead, Mintel said it expects strong, consistent growth for the organic food and beverage market, but it predicts a decline in the rate of growth. Organic food sales are expected to rise 59 percent by 2012, while the organic beverage market is projected to grow by nearly two-thirds (65 percent) in that time.
Mogelonsky cited private label versions of organics as one factor that could impact market growth.
She also noted that the prices for organic food and drink still turn off many consumers. Mintel's consumer survey revealed that two-thirds of Americans said they would buy more organics if the products cost less. This again suggests potential interest in less expensive private label brands, which seem poised to change the face of organic retail.
Mintel's consumer research shows that over half (52 percent) of Americans purchased organic foods in the past year, while over a quarter (26 percent) went for organic beverages. This is a notable increase from the just 34 percent of consumers who bought either organic food or beverage products in 2002. What is more, nearly a third (32 percent) of adults now report purchasing organic products "as often as possible."
The Mintel Global New Products Database (GNPD) shows a steady increase in new organic product development over the past few years. For instance, 2006 saw nearly 1,600 new organic food and beverage products launched in the U.S., over twice the number released in 2002 (732).
Grocers, meanwhile, have sunk their teeth into organics, currently featuring more than 300 private label organic products and entire departments dedicated to organic foods.

Reformation Project Holds National Training Conference
By Taryn Deaton
The Reformation Project will hold its first regional training conference at the National City Christian Church in Washington, D.C., from November 6-8, 2014.
The conference will be a prime networking opportunity for all Christians who want to advance the dignity of LGBT people, especially Christians in non-affirming churches, denominations, or communities who seek to have more loving, fruitful and informed conversations with non-affirming friends and family members.
The goal of the conference is to provide training and resources on how to talk about the Bible and homosexuality with non-LGBT-affirming Christians. In addition, it will give LGBT-affirming Christians a chance to connect with like-minded people in their local areas who can support them as they seek to open up more constructive dialogue on LGBT issues in their faith communities.
To kick-off the Reformation Project, the organization invested resources in providing in-depth leadership training to 50 committed Christians who support the full equality and inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in the church. One of those "Reformers" was Dave Farmer, a member of Ravensworth Baptist Church in Annandale, Va., Farmer is now serving as the steering committee chair for the Washington, D.C., conference.
"I am so thankful to be part of an Alliance partner congregation where all are truly welcome," Farmer said. "The Alliance is an amazing organization of dedicated Christians who live out their faith by working for LGBT inclusivity as well as in so many other areas where justice is sorely needed. Their support is very important to me in my work and I hope to see many Alliance members at the conference in November."
The Reformation Project was founded in 2013 by Matthew Vines, author of God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex Relationships. The Reformation Project's goal is to build a Bible-based, grassroots movement to train, equip and empower Christians who want to change their churches from within.
To learn more about the conference and to register, visit www.reformationproject.org/dc_regional_conference. Registration is $149 through October 7 and $199 after that. Scholarships are available by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
A number of volunteers will also be needed to help with the conference. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Dave Farmer at email@example.com.

Tim Ralston has been the subject of a handful of Discovery Channel and History Channels spots, and was the inventor of the Chiappa X-Caliber as well as other firearms. His niche is survival or "bug out," and the ability to scavenge ammo is a top priority. The most common feedback from X-Caliber fans was "make it multi-shot!" In answer, Tim presents the Scavenger 6. It's a rifle that can fire 21 different calibers and swap between them in seconds . . .
The cylinder of this revolver is also a 7″ barrel — a cylinder-barrel or what Ralston Armory is calling a "CB." Six-shot cylinders are available in 21 calibers. Actually, 23 if you count .45 Colt / .410 gauge and .38 Special / .357 Magnum as two each. 24 calibers if the .44 Magnum cylinder accepts .44 Special, which I assume it would.
In addition to that, there are three, multi-caliber CBs that each shoot six or more different calibers. For instance, the "Survival CB" fires .22, .38/.357, .45 Colt/.410, .223/5.56, 9mm, and .45 ACP. In this case, it's one shot for each caliber. It would definitely be an interesting experience to load it up with one of each, though, and fire through all six rounds!
The Scavenger 6 is in the early prototyping phase, but TTAG will try to keep an eye on its progress. We've invited Tim to pen some updates and give us a bit of a sneak peak into the development and trials process ahead of full production.
71 Responses to New From Ralston Arms: Scavenger 6 Survival Rifle
I would much rather have 23 different guns; but my wife and bank account would disagree.
It might be easier to work with your wife and banker, rather than figure out how to deal with the probable 23 different points-of-impact when using this weapon…
The choice of cyborg ninja warriors everywhere
I like it – I don't like the ugly barrel – but that is the fault of the NFA retard politicians.
I might be wrong but I think it's just a shroud. Looks like the barrel is actually the cylinder. Looks like a good one to put a brace on. Now that would be something. Reminds me of the weapon used in the "Cyborg" movie.
I have some of these RIFLED inserts for my 12ga Stoger coach gun. Not going to win any sharpshooting contests but it will hit close to POA. Orentation of the inserts affects POI somewhat at least on the .22. Would be fine for any Zombies you might run into. I've shot rabbits @ 25 yards max.
I'm wondering if it would ever get approval for production, for one reason: even if it wasn't designed or intended to do so, I think the shroud would serve to ever-so-slightly muffle the noise of the shot, and that means it would probably end up being categorized as a silencer/suppressor.
There is a bit of a precedent with the XM177 (Colt model 649) moderator/flash suppressor (also used on the USAF GAU submachineguns). It wasn't designed to suppress the noise of the weapon like a true suppressor, but it did make the report slightly quieter, and that was enough to get the moderator reclassified as a suppressor at a later date.
The designer might have to go to 16″ or 18″ cylinders on this gun to get it past the ATF approval stage and make it over-the-counter legal. And the additional weight caused by the extended cylinders would probably kill the concept dead.
So what's the overall barrel length of it? I'd imagine they would try to make it not an sbr.
Also, not to nitpick, but .410 Bore, not gauge :p
Okay, I'm sorta sold already, but while you're there can you ask him the obvious question? I mean, it's obviously obvious (in an obvious way) that that thing was designed to be a handgun first and foremost, and then for whatever reason he had to stick a "stock" on it in the back and a "barrel" on the front. I mean, the front barrel can't even be rifled, can it? Isn't it likely just there for looks and for some manner of NFA compliance?
So is he going to make the pistol version that's clearly there in the middle of that tack-on rifle hardware?
Maybe. Companies often release 1 version of a product to gain money and interest to produce the next version. Would be interesting to shoot a .223 out of a revolver.
*cough, cough*
I have heard a story of a military person that milled up a 4 shot 5.56 derringer. Just 'cuz they could.
Called it his "belly buster"…
It's for NFA compliance, surely. Remember that barrel length for NFA purposes is measured to the bottom of the chamber, so with revolver it includes the cylinder. So this thing in front, permanently attached, should make it NFA-legal, and hence allow the stock.
So how many bottlecaps? And how many damn tin cans do I need to upgrade it? 😉
You sir just won the internet!
You could have stopped at bottlecaps
12 aluminum for the light barrel, 5 steel, 4 adhesive, and 8 screws for the hardened receiver, and some nuclear material for glow sights.
But you don't have the required "Gun Nut" skill.
Dammit! I used my level up points for Charisma and Intelligence.
What's the deal, can't make the Battle CB with a chamber in 7.62x54R. Since it's chambered in 7.62×63 (30.06 Springfield), 7.62×39 and 7.62×51 so why not 54R and cover all bases?
They should consolidate .308 and 7.62×51 to free up a cylinder for 7.62x54R.
The small print at the bottom of the above image/poster says "CUSTOM 'CB' AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST".
And after handing over a slightly larger-than-normal sum of money, I assume.
This is why a post-apocalyptic scenario would eventually find us switching to arrows as the preferred ammunition within a decade or two. Too much caliber confusion.
Our tech, even at the founding of our country was not stuck on the bow and arrow. In an apocalyptic scenario, we'll be using flinted black powder muskets and cap and ball revolvers.
the problem would be procuring the caps for said cap 'n ball revolver.
I saw a video on youtube where someone used the tips of strike-anywhere matches for replacement primers. I think that Filipino guerrillas used a similar technique during the Japanese occupation in WW2.
I have to agree. Has anybody gone so far as to tempt the preppers with a Kentucky long rifle built to today's standards with today's technology? Seems like buying a dozen might not be a bad idea, hang one on the mantle for decoration, keep the others in the closet. I bet ammo stocks would last decades (post apocalyptic means less than 10% humans survive, ammo usage would be way down), but eventually we'd get back to flint, I'd imagine.
Contrary to what is seen in Hollywood TV shows and movies like Revolution, primers and smokeless powder is not that unattainable in a post apocalyptic society where there are coordinated communities of survivors. The chemical composition is not that complicated and the process to manually create it is achievable without today's modern conveniences. (Yes, I am a nerd who pauses movies to debate their silly assertions. ?
same, its also a reason i keep a flintlock pistol and rifle. flint, black powder and lead are not hard toaquire/make
Ugh. 'Revolution', one of the worst sci-fi apocalypse shows – ever. JJ Abrams is just Michael Bay in a different suit.
Can't have electricity? Things obviously still burn, so I'll be in a compression diesel. No fuel? Plenty of used tires around, incredibly simple rig yields at least a gallon per tire. Steam? Compressed air? I get it, most of the "bright" people were gone – they don't survive well. But c'mon, air powered rifles and a whole lot more. There will always be tech, we will not return to the stone-age, unless everyone and everything is wiped out.
It's called a Fusil. 60 something caliber. Smooth bore flint lock so you can shove anything down the bore and shoot it.(nails,ashtrays,cans,marbles) But you still need powder to fire it and flint to spark it.
I've read it credited to Einstein as saying he didn't know with what weapons WWIII would be fought, but that WW4 would be fought with sticks and stones.
A barrel big enough to let a .45 pass, how accurate can a .22 be? Or am I missing something?
The "barrel" on the front is probably just some smoothbore cosmetic waste of space designed around NFA restrictions. I sincerely doubt that the long front barrel does anything whatsoever for performance, or rifling, or anything at all (other than to disrupt and ruin the .410 shot pattern if it is rifled).
The real "barrel" is in the chamber. The cylinder is host to both the barrel and the chamber, so there are six barrels in each CB. And yes, that means that all the power you're going to get is whatever can be mustered by a 7-inch barrel.
I wonder if that front barrel and the stock are made in some sort of "break-away" fashion so that if SHTF or TETWAWKI happen, you can just snap off the useless NFA bits and get it back to what it was originally intended, because the laws wouldn't matter at that point.
Maybe it ships with a "tactical hacksaw" to allow you to remove the false barrel in an end-of-the-world situation. 🙂
The "barrel" on the front is probably just some smoothbore cosmetic waste of space designed around NFA restrictions.
Yep, but it sure doesn't look like it meets the >16″ requirement.
It looks like it meets 16″. Barrel length is measured 'muzzle' to bolt or receiver face. 7″ CB+9″ falsie = good 2 go.
From the marketing material (I hate it when people go to trade shows with nothing but marketing….) the cylinder IS the barrel. The "barrel" ahead of the cylinder is probably little more than a length of black pipe.
I would be curious to see the actual patent (engineering nerd). Except for making each chamber a different size, Derringer already did the "cylinder is the barrel" thing.
Does that barrel mean you need to lug around a pile of barrels on top of each multi-cal cylinder?
no, just potentially a pile of the "CB"s, which clearly must stand for "CylinderBarrel".
I had an idea of a revolver with replaceable barrels and cylinders to be able to shoot about any pistol round, but this… there is such a thing as being a jack of all trades and a master of none.
With my ideas of multi caliber guns, they would be a master of a at least one thing.
Honestly I would probably like it better if it were a hand gun. It would be heavy as ****. But a lot more compact
That looks… Useless…
I'll take my chances with a glock in the pocolypse. Two calibers is enough for me (with conversion barrel). Actually it's probably one too many calibers, but it's fun and I like it. So there. :p
Okay, so I guess I get it. It's just not for me.
Glopockolypse? Glockopolypse?
I like it. I don't think I'd buy one, but only because I don't have the prepper mentality.
The 7″ barrel certainly limits what velocity you can get coming out of the gun, and I bet some of those cartridges listed are part stun grenade with that short of a barrel.
7″ barreled 30-06? Whoooo-aaahh
Don't forget that there's that 9″ pseudo-barrel in front of the actual 7″ cylinder-barrel. It should take care of most of the gases.
On the other hand, there's the cylinder gap. That should look very impressive when shot at night. Kinda like a .500 S&W revolver.
If the front tube is just a shroud, with nothing to seal the gasses behind the projectile(s), then there is not much pressure to force the flash/gasses out sideways. I'm thinking most of them will travel down the barrel-shroud/tube and exit the muzzle end, same as the projectile(s).
A small amount of flash will probably still squirt out the gap, as the flash blooms at the end of the cylinder-barrel as the projectile(s) exit, but not nearly as much as with a normal revolver.
On the other hand, if there is no need to hold the cylinder-to-barrel-shroud gap to a tight tolerance (no pressure loss to worry about), then the gap could be specced significantly larger, which might allow more flash out. The illustration seems to show a gap of around one-eighth to one-quarter inch, and yeah, that might allow some flash to escape…
This is more a fantasy-gun than a realistic weapon. None of us are ever likely to have to go scrounging across the countryside for any available ammo.
If you really want a survival rifle for wilderness hiking/camping/riding, you want a gun with one useful general-purpose caliber. The weight of all those cylinders represents a lot of carried ammunition.
Yeah, I have a hard time seeing the necessity for something like this. Even if I were a prepper my belief would be that if I "found" a significant amount of a certain type of ammo, it would be very likely that a bit of looking around would reveal the gun, and possibly the former owner as well. Investing the cost of a toy like this one into a bulk purchase of ammo for what you already own, instead, seems like a better bet, and while you wait for the end, you can SHOOT it!
The guns would be there, inside of a fort knox triple xxx mod2 600 lb. gunsafe with a dead battery. But you could pick it if your skill was high enough.
Exactly. In a SHTF world, you are more likely to die of starvation and disease than lead poisoning. In the area I live, I chose a .22 caliber survival rifle. I can carry tons of ammo, and small game is rather abundant. Big game is hard to find, and there are few easy options for preparing the meat for long term storage.
Up here in Canada there's a small but viable market for backpacker shotguns, with 12-13 inch barrels, mostly in 12 gauge (but I've seen a 16 gauge and 20 gauge one). Combine that with a decent chamber insert for .22 and you'd pretty much cover all the bases in a compact package. Having said that, if someone was willing to pack a bit more weight/bulk, there are models with 20 inch barrels available, with screw-in chokes.
12-13 inch barrels; those must be super deadly shotguns; they would be NFA items here in the US. And, since they are shotguns, would be illegal in Washington state (no short barreled shotguns allowed here). That is, of course, unless they do not have a butt stock, then they are perfectly legal, not super deadly, "firearms".
It's a modern version of the pepperbox with a hollow tube in the front (which does not interact with the projectile in any way) because of NFA restrictions.
Also note that this is only in the printed plastic prototype stages. You can see the printed layers on the "CB" as it glints in the light as he moves it around.
Then one would need 21 different scopes for different drop rates?
I imagine the front barrel would be of some use for shot loads.
Okay, now that the first impression excitement has passed, how much is this going to cost? A $1500 price tag would make me want to stick to my 40 s&w tactical Tupperware and a over-under scatter gun with barrel inserts for different calibers.
Yeah, the machining on those "CBs" isn't exactly going to be cheap, so there's no way this thing could be a budget gun. Seems like it might be better to just buy a couple of reliable, inexpensive guns and a stockpile of ammo for them. That strategy also has the advantage of not requiring you to roam the countryside, trying to scavenge ammunition, dragging a bucket full of steel cylinders with you.
Sighting this thing in would be a nightmare. A different poi for each round, and in the heat of the moment try to remember which round is going to fire when you pull the trigger and adjust your aim for it…
So with this gun, a backpack stuffed with forty pounds of cylinders, and a baby-blue velour tracksuit, I can be ready to take on the apocalypse? Sign me up!
That picture is just cracking me up. "I don't always carry a ridiculous gun because I don't understand that movies aren't real, but when I do, I carry a Ralston Scavenger 6."
It's a cute idea, but I'll be really shocked if this gets past the prototype stage and into gun stores.
If you put a longer barrel on there, you could probably shoot down Batman's plane with it.
Hmm. I like it because I love offbeat guns and oddball calibers, but for practicality… no.
Seems like an AR lower with several different caliber uppers and magazines in the most likely to be encountered calibers would be more practical. (.22 LR, 9mm, .45 ACP, 7.62×39, 5.56mm, etc etc)
Thompson Center's had the multi caliber thing down for decades. Several others: Mauser, Blaser, and Sauer have had multi caliber rifles over the years (all rather expensive.) A Contender in an appropriate caliber set makes a good survival gun, and also a good "With one of these, I can get all of those I need from bad guys" gun.
Still, from a "this is just cool" perspective, that is nifty.
Need this in 44 magnum, 10mm & 357 Magnum & .308… Zombie survival gun, SHTF gun, emergency hunting gun capable of taking elk, hog & deer… Love it.
It'd be nice if he just used regular cylinders and made that into a 357 revolver rifle.
So, a Rossi Circuit Judge in .357. That wouldn't be bad.
I've got the .45 LC/.410 Circuit Judge, unfortunately my experience has been that the long gap between the .45 Colt round and the forcing cone ruins the accuracy (at least that's how I've seen it explained). I wouldn't trust it for hunting past 50 yards. 🙁
The gun would have been way better if they'd simply abandoned the silly .410 part of it and made it a revolving .45 colt carbine. (They made a .44 Magnum version for a while, but I've never seen any real-world examples).
Check out Ozzie reviews on YouTube. I have seen it for order on Davidson's. I really have no use for a 44 mag rifle.
For the stated purpose, I'd much prefer a single gun that would let me shoot .22 LR, .223, and 12ga.
So basically an over/under in .223 / 12ga, with a chamber insert to also handle .22 (or perhaps a cylinder like this that could be manually rotated back and forth, and with just two chambers).
Between .223, 12ga shot, 12ga slugs and .22, is there anything that you couldn't possibly do with such a gun?
A rifled revolving cilinder…
So, it's a pepperbox pistol?
Flip the stock in the picture so it is actually the top so i can get my cheek to sit somewhere and get properly lined up with the bore of the rifle and add at least a bead or post sight on the front i see a rail but red dots have batteries which run out of power and fail and a front sight is better then nothing to reference
I bid 1 bar of gold pressed Latium and a tribble

Merkel, Putin agree on preserving Ukraine territorial integrity : spokesman
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed Sunday that Ukraine's "territorial integrity" must be ensured, the German government spokesman said.
Merkel spoke by phone with Putin and "both agreed that Ukraine must quickly get a government capable of acting and its territorial integrity must be preserved," Steffen Seibert said.
A day after Ukraine's three-month crisis culminated in parliament ousting the pro-Russian Viktor Yanukovych as president and calling new elections, Merkel and Putin also stressed the need for stability in Ukraine.
"They underline their common interest in the stability of the country in political and economic respects," Seibert said in a statement.
He said Merkel and Putin had agreed to remain in close contact.
Merkel also spoke to freed Ukrainian opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko on Sunday and called on her to work to hold the country together as well as to approach the country's pro-Russian east, German government sources said.
The Ukrainian parliament appointed an interim leader Sunday but fears have arisen abroad over the future of the ex-Soviet state, with its people split between a pro-Russian east and a nationalist Ukrainian-speaking west pushing for closer ties with Europe.

Birth Parent Testimonials
I won't deny that when I called Act of Love Adoption Agencies I was scared and unsure of what I was about to do or if this was the agency that could help me. After calling other agencies something kept drawing my attention to Act of Love. Today I can say with all honesty that I thank God for putting them in my path during this difficult time. If it wasn't for all there support I don't think I'd be feeling this way. Its a mix of pain for having to put my baby up for adoption but happiness they found me a great family And I have no doubt in my heart that they will be great parents to my baby. And the fact that Act of Love made sure I could still have communication with him. Brings relief. I am so thankful to everyone at Act of Love for everything they've done not only for my baby but for my baby but for my 3 year old son and myself. I love Act of Love and will forever hold them in my heart.
I loved having your agency staff every step of the way. You were there for me & the birth father from day one, thank you!
I appreciate you all so much! I had to stay in the hospital for high blood pressure for a week before I delivered. You all made it so much better for me! Your staff is so amazing and helpful and I would recommend Act of Love to everyone! Thanks for making this adoption a great experience! I LOVE the adoptive parents!
My choice of placing my child for adoption was truly an act of love. I have given her the chance in life that she deserves, as well as myself. I can now feel at peace knowing that my little angel is not only loved by two families but she is well taken care of. I am grateful I have had the chance to help make someone else's family complete. I am also grateful that there is such an agency as A Act of Love to help those who are searching for answers.
We love you guys, you're all sweet and helpful and it's relaxing and comfortable to work with you. So much love for Traci and Shelly was awesome!
I just wanted to thank you for the help you have rendered to my family and I. I am very appreciative of everything you and your staff has done and will do in the future. I will forever be grateful for your services. You have definitely touched my soul and will always be in my heart! The times we have shared are precious and will always be remembered and I will surely recommend A Act of Love to anyone that is in need of a caring staff to help find a deserving child a quality home with loving parents!! Thank you!
Before I came to A Act of Love and met Kathy, I was very confused and frustrated over all the many decisions I had to make, being single and pregnant and alone. I was given the power of choice and the genuine love and acceptance I needed help through that difficult situation. I will be forever grateful to Kathy and hold a special place in my heart for this beautiful agency.
I can't put into words how much I appreciate everything you've done. I'm so thankful that I met you. You took care of me and didn't treat me like it was just a job. And you were always there when I needed someone! Thank You, Jaime so much!!
It's been 7 years since I placed my baby for adoption. I thank you so much for the awesome support. I had a hard time at first meeting the adoptive parents at first. I didn't want to change my mind. I knew this is what was best for my baby. I kept in contact with them throughout the years. This weekend they came to my hometown and I was able to meet them They are awesome. I couldn't have picked better parents then I did. My baby is blessed to have them. My heart feels eased now that I was able to hug them and thank them for all they do. I thank A act of love for helping me find them.
I was searching to find the answer: I did not know which direction to go. I had made many phone calls and the feelings I had gotten were so cold. I needed help when I finally found A Act of Love. It was such a relief to know someone cared and was willing to help me with my decision. With A Act of Love I felt like an individual. I can never thank you enough for how you have helped me through this difficult decision. My relationship with Kathy and her staff is very close, she is my best friend.

Is there anything wrong with a free market in human kidneys? Why shouldn't a woman rent her womb to the highest bidder for a surrogate pregnancy? What's the problem with schools paying reluctant kids to read books; or with wealthy inmates paying for an upgrade to a better prison cell? What about the $US30 billion trade in life insurance policies, in which investors bet on strangers dying sooner rather than later so they can cash in?
Michael Sandel, a political philosopher and professor at Harvard University, wants everyone to ask these questions. They are not hypotheticals - the examples he draws on in his latest book, What Money Can't Buy - The Moral Limits of Markets, are happening now in the US and around the world.
He worries that three decades of ''market triumphalism'' have turned western countries from societies with a market economy into market societies, where literally everything has a price.
''The difference is this: a market economy is a valuable and effective tool for organising productive activity,'' he says. ''But a market society is a place where everything is up for sale. It's a way of life in which market values reach into every domain, from family life and personal relations to health, education, criminal justice, military service and civic life. That's my worry.''
Sandel's is a lonely voice against the reign of economic rationalism. It is perhaps little wonder that Sandel, whose famous undergraduate course ''Justice'' at Harvard is one of the most popular in the institution's history, was quietly asked by his college economics professor never to publicly reveal who taught him economics. The global financial crisis in 2008 challenged the infallibility of markets, but not the central role markets and money have been given in our society. Sandel argues it is time for a public debate about where society draws the line on what is, and isn't, a tradeable commodity.
''Market thinking has a hold on the public imagination because markets seem to be a neutral way of deciding ethically fraught questions in public life,'' he says. ''But that's a spurious appeal, I don't think markets truly are neutral ways of deciding contested questions in public life that involve conflicted values.''
One problem of applying a market ethic to everything is the unfairness it creates: the rich can afford better service and the poor are pushed to the back of the queue. There is also the question of whether, say, the impoverished Indian peasant selling a kidney to a wealthier westerner is truly acting freely, or out of economic coercion, Sandel says.
But it's also important to have the philosophical debate of whether a human should be commodified as a package of valuable spare parts for sale.
Sandel is speaking at the Sydney Writers' Festival next week.

From a release:
I wrote about Sidi Touré early this year when his CD came out - now you can check him out live at Lula Lounge as part of the Small World Music Festival
Sidi Touré at Lula Lounge on September 29, 2011
"Sidi Touré is a worthy successor to Ali Farka Touré. Sidi has all the talent, quality, simplicity, playing and singing skills, it's incredible.." - Grammy Award winner Bassekou Kouyaté
Sidi Touré is a singer-songwriter from Mali who has garnered global acclaim for thought provoking songs that honor African sonic traditions in a manner that appeals to listeners from any continent. Throughout his time making music, Sidi's sound has both captured and challenged his roots. His music moves from the translucent swaying 'Takamba' to the trance inducing 'Holley', while the lyrics often address many non-traditional issues. Sidi has a critical mind and his songs have a purpose. His just-released album, Sahel Folk a SPIN Magazine pick, features spontaneously recorded duets with other Malian musicians.
I'm late posting about the festival (even though I was at the opening party on Thursday night - priorities! LOL Parties before posting!) but there's still much more to check out yet.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/1/2013 (1676 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WARREN, Mich. -- Chris Shinouskis has spent the last 12 years trying to perfect the use of storage space inside your car.
An engineer at General Motors for 30 years, Shinouskis designs everything from cupholders and glove compartments to pockets for your iPod.
"We bring all our stuff with us. We live in our vehicles," said Shinouskis, who works out of GM's Technical Center in Warren, Mich.
As engineering specialist for storage, Shinouskis said her best work goes unnoticed by GM customers every day, since drivers don't think about storage bins until something doesn't fit. If that happens often enough, inadequate storage can become a major source of frustration.
"What we're learning with storage is that what customers are looking for is just something that's functional so it doesn't have to be fancy." she said. "You just want it to work."
Cupholders became a permanent feature in vehicles in the 1980s, along with the proliferation of fast-food restaurants and urban sprawl, said Shinouskis.
And the most significant change has been their size, she added. "Cupholders have increased in size over the last 10 years because the drink containers that we are buying have got larger," she said. "The cupholder diameter has increased five to 10 mm."
While beverage containers were a top priority for designers five to 10 years ago, these days they are focusing on storage space for electronic devices, such as iPods, cellphones and even laptops, said Shinouskis.
"Now communications is the big thing; making sure that a vehicle has a place for all of our technology," she said. "Bluetooth has changed how we need to use our cellphone in that you don't have to pick it up to talk. But you still need a place for it in the vehicle."
Two GM vehicles -- the Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain -- offer "ultimate storage features," she said. "They're like a closet on wheels. They have a lot of storage features, including a centre console that can accommodate a laptop."
The broader challenge faced by designers is overcrowding, said Shinouskis.
"The difficulty everybody is facing is so much more is being packaged into our vehicles, whether it's features, like charging locations." she said. "We're trying to make sure things aren't crowding, so there's this real fight for space right now."
Another challenge is preventing driver distraction she added.
"Any bin should be within a safe and easy reach," she said. "It has to be intuitive.
We have to make sure a driver keeps his eye on the road while reaching for a beverage or iPod."

(Adds CSN comment)
SAO PAULO, June 16 (Reuters) - An appeals judge in Brazil has overturned a ruling by the country's antitrust authority that allowed steelmaker CSN to make appointments to the board of rival Usiminas, in which it has a stake.
The ruling by Judge Jirair Aram Meguerian on Wednesday could mean CSN's two appointees will have to step down from the Usiminas board, which grew to 11 members after the regulator, known as Cade, cleared the way for the move in April.
The ruling was announced on the court's website.
CSN, formally known as Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional SA, said in a statement it was surprised by the decision, adding that the board members it appointed were crucial to the running of Usiminas.
"CSN will spare no effort to ensure the presence of independent board members on the board of Usiminas, because of the belief that they are crucial for the company to get back on track and return to growth," the statement said.
The case, one of several connected to Cade's decision, is another chapter in an ongoing shareholder battle for control of the Usiminas boardroom.
Controlling shareholders, Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corp and Techint, have been at loggerheads for nearly two years, while CSN, which owns a significant stake but is outside the controlling group, is exerting increasing influence.
CSN, formally known as Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional SA, owns 19 percent of Usiminas preferred shares and 10 percent of its common shares, according to Thomson Reuters data. (Reporting by Alberto Alerigi; editing by Paul Simao and Richard Chang)

A welfare economics foundation for the full-employment policy
Combining the dynamic Keynesian cross (Otaki, M., 2007. The dynamically extended Keynesian cross and the welfare-improving fiscal policy.

American Economic Review 71, 896-908.), we have succeeded in showing a kind of involuntary unemployment as an equilibrium outcome.

With the coming of St. Patrick's Day 2013, it's that time of the year again when we embrace a beverage not usually available during the other months. I'm not talking about green beer; I mean the green Shamrock Shake at McDonald's — available for a limited time from February to March — made "classier" in recent years by being rebranded as the McCafé Shamrock Shake. However, the newer labeling and transparent cup doesn't hide the fact that this is pretty much the same, minty green shake of yesteryear that used to come in a paper cup, brought back to appease the nostalgic masses (much like McDonald's does with the McRib from time to time).
It was suggested to me to compare this popular shake to another kind: one made from scratch instead of being dispensed out of a dessert machine with a mechanical lever. For this comparison, I was suggested to pull from the archive of recipes here at Cooking Channel: Hedy Goldsmith's recipe for the Grasshopper Chocolate Mint Chess Pie Milkshake.

It's beautiful- and so are you!!!!!!ReplyDelete
I love the blue sweater and I have to say this post was so great for me to read...very timely! I am making my first hand knit sweater for myself. The yarn was really expensive (a gift from my Mom). When I saw the price, I put it back, but my mother said get what you like....well I don't like. I followed gage and it seemed like it was correct, but my shrug is way too long. I won't bore you with what else went wrong, but the pressure to knit this expensive sweater beautifully is making me crazy. I buy my yarn from Michael's crafts or Walmart! By the way, that color is really flattering on you.ReplyDelete

That's incredible!! The sweater is darling and looks fabulous on you! I love the color and the fit! Who cares if it's cheap yarn! That's what makes it even better! You look fantastic, Lisa! No one would ever know you just had a baby! Good for you!!ReplyDelete
I LOVE the color!!!! It looks great!ReplyDelete
What a beautiful sweater! I would not give a second thought to the yarn. I would proudly say that it only cost me $5! I am currently trying to knit a bolero and things are not going well. All night, I dreamed about how to fix the problem, yet this morning I am no closer to having a solution.ReplyDelete
Great sweater -- and you look great in it ( big boobs too)!ReplyDelete
When you knit your swatch, my dear, if it is smaller than it should be, try again with a slightly larger needle. If it's too large go down a size. It takes a few minutes but is so worth it to not have to rip out a sweater!
AWESOME Sweater!ReplyDelete
From all of the non knitters in my household: "Wow!, you actually made that! Wow, again!" The sweater is very nice, but the woman inside is BEAUTIFUL!ReplyDelete
It looks wonderful, Lisa! Great job! I'm going to add that one to my Ravelry queue too. I just can't do cheap yarn anymore. Life's too short to waste precious knitting time with cheap yarn, I say! ;)ReplyDelete
Amazing--I love it!! the color is perfect.ReplyDelete
It turned out beautifully, and you look gorgeous in it!ReplyDelete
It came out wonderful! I would definitely make another one in a different yarn if you like how it came out. Be proud that it only cost $5 to make. That is awesome.ReplyDelete
It's amazingly beautiful! I love that it only cost $5, that is the sweater you will always reach for now to go roll around in the leaves with the kiddos come Fall or not be afraid to sit with your back against a tree holding your little one for fear that something will happen to the terribly expensive and labor intensive piece of clothing you have on. It's perfect!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous sweater!! Love the color!!! It looks so good on you!ReplyDelete
I love your sweater and the color blue is my fave fave color. You look great. I must say you have such a lovely family. You did an awesome job on the sweater. I wish I could knit like that. I know how to knit but just the basics. wow cost only five bucks that is just awesome. You look great in blue that is you girlfriend:)ReplyDelete
Your sweater is perfect - who needs to know about the cost. Wearing it regularly will be the reward.ReplyDelete

Beautiful job! I have to say you wear cheap yarn well! I think that was smart trying it in an inexpensive yarn first. Looks like a winner to me and you look great! I'm off to check out this pattern.ReplyDelete

That is a gorgeous sweater. If you had not told me you knitted it, I might have guessed it was professionally made.ReplyDelete
It looks great on you. That has to be my favorite shade of blue. Sort of like a clear winter sky when all the summer haze is gone.
The ribbing at the edges is really well done and dresses up your "simple" sweater. Most of my family prefers sweaters without all the distracting pockets, cables, etc.

Forgot to mention, you have a delightful smile. It could brighten a cloudy day.ReplyDelete
May you always have a reason to smile.
Knitting is a gift. My mom and sister knit numerous items to give as Christmas presents. Hats, gloves, mittens, scarves, a throw for the back of the couch or covers to protect the arm rests. A vest to wear under the coat to chase the winter chills. Booties, slippers. Items that would cost a lot of money to buy as gifts can be made for pennies on the dollar.

PS Medway Queen Floats!
Picture: Courtesy Ian Murray.
The reconstruction of the Medway Queen took a massive leap forward with the Re-floating of the newly constructed hull!
For the last few years, Albion Dry-dock in Bristol has been in the process of rebuilding the Hull from scratch! On October 24th 2013, the new Medway Queen was towed out of the dry dock where she was floated several weeks earlier into Bristol Harbour before being finally towed down the Avon, bound for her old home on the Medway!
There is still a lot of work to do on the ship, as seen in the picture, she's riding very high in the water, due to no fittings inside as yet, although I do believe her Twin Cylinder Compound engine has been reinstated! Also, only the from work of the Paddles had been fitted.
I don't think there are any dates as to when the Medway Queen will be operating, but presumably it'll probably be next year some when!

The second card posted in the Sneak Peak is the Tattoo card.
Tattooing was used in ancient Polynesian society to express one's identity and personality. Tattoos would indicate status in a hierarchy society: sexual maturity, genealogy and one's rank within society. Nearly everyone in ancient Polynesian society was tattooed.
Traditional tattooing tools consist of a comb with needles carved from bone or tortoise shell, fixed to a wooden handle. The needles are dipped into a pigment made from the soot of burnt candlenut, mixed with water or oil. The needles are then placed on the skin and the handle is tapped with a second wooden stick, causing the comb to pierce the skin and insert the pigment. The name tattoo comes from the sound of this tapping.
Tattoo was a "tapu" (taboo) or sacred art form. It was performed by shamans (tahua) who were highly trained in the religious ritual, the meaning of the designs and technical aspects of the art. The designs and their location on the body were determined by one's genealogy, position within the society and personal achievements. In preparation for the tattooing, one would have to undergo a period of cleansing. This generally involved fasting for a specified length of time and abstaining from sexual intercourse or contact with women. The patient was immobilized in a sort of vise composed of two trunks of banana trees, between which he was attached and held tight. The tattooer, accompanied by his assistants, sang a sort of chant of the occasion, syncopated to the rhythm of the tapping of his little mallet. Each drop of blood was rapidly wiped up with a scrap of tapa cloth, so that none be allowed to fall to the ground.
The traditional tattoo designs can be divided into 2 groups:
In Conquest of Paradise, the Tattoo card provides the player with one victory point, because of its cultural importance. But it also provides a bonus in combat.
The unique combat system in Conquest of Paradise is simple but interesting: both players line up their units that are in the combat hex, with combat units in front, and other units in back. The attacker rolls one die at a time. The results can remove a combat unit from one player or the other, or more likely, cause a combat unit to panic. When this happens, the combat unit is moved back with the non-combat units. When one player runs out of active combat units, he must retreat from the hex, and the other player wins the combat.
If a player has the Tattoo card, he can reveal it at any time he wants to. This is usually done right after the attacker has rolled a result that causes his enemy to panic. Then, instead of one combat unit sliding back with the non-combat units, two panic. This can make a desperate defence suddenly quite viable, or make a good attack a sure thing.
After a player reveals his Tattoo card, it remains face-up in front of him. Now the other players are aware of the particularly fierce tattoos his warriors have! Once in every combat thereafter, he can cause two enemy combat units to panic instead of one.

Starting Tuesday night with the New Orleans Bowl, 28 bowl games were to be played over the next three weeks, involving nearly half the teams in Division I-A.
More than enough, right?
Don't try telling that to the Akron Zips.
They were the only team in Division I-A eligible and willing to play in this postseason that got left out.
"Every team is going to think they belong if they qualify," quarterback Charlie Frye said.
Even at Akron, a school that has never been to a bowl game.
Finding 56 bowl eligible teams turned out to be more difficult than usual this season as the Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10 and SEC all failed to produce enough teams to fill their tie-ins.
With an 11-game regular season, teams needed to be at least 6-5 - and 6-6 wouldn't cut it for Michigan State and Northwestern, which both played a 12th regular-season game at Hawaii.
The task became even tougher when Clemson (6-5) and South Carolina (6-5) pulled out of postseason consideration after brawling during their Nov. 20 game, and left many bowl officials turning to the Mid-American Conference to find over. 500 teams - like Akron.
"As we sat down and looked at the numbers," Akron coach J.D. Brookhart said, "when the South Carolina and Clemson situation pulled them out it became a real a possibility for us."
The Zips ended their season with a loss to Miami (Ohio) on Nov. 20 to finish 6-5. So, they had two weeks to watch and hope.
"The Monday after we lost to Miami, I sat in the staff room with the coaches and we put all the teams that had games left on a board, and who had to win and who had to lose for us to get in," said Frye, an NFL prospect who threw for 2,623 yards and 18 touchdowns. "We had them all written down and that Saturday I was scratching them off with my pen."
Heading into the final Saturday, the Zips needed Louisville to beat Tulane in the afternoon and Michigan State to win at Hawaii in final game of this year's regular season to earn a spot in the Hawaii Bowl.
"There were a lot of students that were saying 'Go Michigan State' when they'd see you during the week," Frye said. "Everybody knew about it.
"I think there was a buzz around the university."
Frye and seven teammates gathered at his place to watch games Dec. 4. All those big tilts with Bowl Championship Series ramifications didn't mean much to the Zips. Who cares about Southern California, Oklahoma and Auburn? What's going on with the Green Wave?
Well, Louisville pounded Tulane 55-7 to eliminate the Wave. If the Spartans came through, the Zips were beach bound.
The game kicked off at 11:30 p.m.
"You could have told us it was 2:30 in the afternoon, we wouldn't have known the difference" Frye said. "It could have kicked off at 3 in the morning and everyone on this team would have watched."
Michigan State was up 21-0 early and 28-14 at halftime.
"When (the Spartans) went 21 up there we were all excited," Frye said. "We thought we were going to a bowl game."
Not so fast. Timmy Chang and Chad Owens rallied the Warriors. Chang scored the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter and Hawaii (7-5) went on to win 41-38 and land that final bowl bid.
Instead of a trip to Honolulu and a Christmas Eve game against UAB, Akron got ... zip.
"We had the plan," Frye said, "but it just didn't work out."

As we told you last month, a company called Gibson Security had been trying to warn Snapchat to close some exploits that they claim could have been closed with just ten lines of code. Snapchat chose to ignore them, and the result was this breach in security. Gibson tweeted out Snapchat's API and a couple of exploits on Christmas Eve. Very quickly, one of the exploits was used for the aforementioned SnapchatDB! website. This comes at a bad time for Snapchat because the app, which allows you to send picture, video and text messages that disappear in ten seconds, just turned down $3 billion and $4 billion dollar offers for the app from Facebook and Google respectively. Those offers came after a round of financing was done for the company last June, that valued Snapchat at $800 million.
Snapchat is responding to this mess, not by ignoring the situation as it did originally, but by announcing that it will offer an updated and more secure app that will allow users to opt out of Find Friends" after verifying their phone number. There also will be things implemented on the app to make it more secure. Snapchat now welcomes your communication with them about security issues. The email address is email@example.com.

Washington 7, Aztecs 4
On the night San Diego State made it official that no one would ever again wear No. 37 on the baseball field, the No. 19 was seemingly everywhere you looked before SDSU's season opener against Washington.
The jersey retirement ceremony for former SDSU star Stephen Strasburg had been planned for months.
"It's such an honor," said Strasburg, who threw out the first pitch after his No. 37 was unveiled on a railing above the right field wall at Tony Gwynn Stadium.
All the No. 19 jerseys were part of a more impromptu ceremony. More than a dozen Aztecs players wore the jerseys during the national anthem in recognition of head coach Tony Gwynn, who is recuperating from Tuesday's surgery to remove a malignant tumor in his right cheek.
"It's a great way to honor him," said SDSU associate head coach Mark Martinez, who is guiding the Aztecs in Gwynn's absence. "Right before the game we went in the locker room and they held the jerseys up and we took a picture and they texted it to Alicia (Gwynn) and Tony right before the game."
The postgame picture wasn't as pretty. SDSU clung to a slim lead through much of the game, but a four-run eighth boosted Washington to a 7-4 win over the Aztecs.
"It was great for seven innings," said Martinez. "Then we had some poor execution. That's all it was. They played well. We just made some mistakes when it got a little hot.
"It's gonna happen. Some of those little things that opening nights have. They're fine. They played hard, and that's all we're asking."
SDSU catcher Brad Haynal said Gwynn's absence and the circumstances surrounding it did not take away from the team's focus.
"If anything it brought us together," said Haynal. "Coach is battling personal health issues. We're just staying positive for him. We love Coach, we miss him and we want him back as soon as possible."
SDSU opened the scoring with two runs in the fourth inning on a sacrifice fly by freshman first baseman Steven Pallares and a two-out double by freshman right fielder Greg Allen (Hilltop High). The Huskies got a run back in the fifth, but the Aztecs made it 3-1 in the seventh on sophomore center fielder Cody Smith's two-out single.
Sophomore left-hander Cole Swanson allowed five hits and one run with four strikeouts before leaving after the sixth inning. The Huskies rallied after Swanson departed, sending eight batters to the plate in the eighth to turn things around.
"As a team, there was a lot of excitement," said Haynal, who had three hits on the night. "We're not going to take this and hang our heads. You lose games in baseball. It's a game of failure. But you can expect that we're going to come out ready to win tomorrow because all fall we prepared for the season. We'll be all right."Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

MLB Network to air Strasburg debut
Can you remember a more anticipated major-league debut than Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg? The first overall pick in the 2009 draft will make his big-league debut next Tuesday at home against the Pirates and MLB Network has announced it will televise the game at 7 p.m.. Bob Costas will call the game with analysis from Jim Kaat and John Smoltz. Strasburg, who has hit 100 mph on the radar gun, has sped through the Nats minor-league system. He has a combined 6-2 record with a 1.43 ERA and 60 strikeouts in 50 1/3 innings in stints this season with Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Syracuse.

Pneuma is a unique wind-based slash glyph and is Greek for "Spirit". When Shanoa uses it, a gale of wind is released downwards, streaking across the floor for a certain distance. It's range and power increases when the user has the Wind Ring equipped. When the two Pneuma Glyphs are used at the same time, a much larger blast of wind is fired, the de facto "Vol Pneuma" (called Gale by Shanoa).
Pneuma also has a Glyph Union in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia that can be used with two Pneumas, different from the larger gust. Instead, mass amounts of wind is fired up into the sky, forming what appears to be a "wind cage" around Shanoa that she calls Ventus (Latin for "wind"), which rotates around her, while harming enemies in range. This Glyph Union also consists of the finisher in Shanoa's Hyper attack Glyph of Gales in Castlevania Judgment.
Performing a Glyph Union with any weapon performs the Tearing Slash, which causes a large wind-driven slash to appear in front of her. Pneuma, along with Cubus, are two of the hardest-to-obtain Glyphs in the game. The Hanged Man Ring is recommended as Shanoa can quickly recover from the blowing wind in the room where it is found in Tymeo Mountains.
In Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, Pneuma is a random item obtained from bosses' chests from the last three castles. Shanoa can equip two of this without wasting MP and can perform the Gale attack with two of them simultaneously. When the attack hits the enemy, it hits twice, thus it is Shanoa's best weapon if she has two of them because they can hit four times. Add to that, by back dashing, she could easily spam the attack as much as an Alucard or Soma with Valmanways.
Shanoa can also use the normal Pneuma glyph in Castlevania Judgment when holding the direction pad and the special button while attacking. She sometimes yells "Tear them apart!" or "Wind!" during this move.

- Stella Lecarde is able to use this ability in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin.
- This glyph and the combination of two of them resembles special moves of Fatal Fury character Geese Howard. A single blast is akin to "Reppuken" and firing two into one big one is akin to "double reppuken" and the Union Pneuma attack resembles his super, "Raging Storm". This might have been an intentional reference as the similarities are too much to be incidental.

Jeff and Linda Gibbs
Jeff and Linda Gibbs purchased this house in 2015
this rental served our purposes perfectly. We ;needed a large dining food prep area that would accommodate all 19 of us. there 10 adults and nine chirldren from 1 to 10 years old. bedrooms sufficed and the open area of kitchen and living area were great. the beach was shallow and all nice sand and the kids played for hours on end will minimal need for "lifeguard" duty as such. We made sure there was at least two adults immediately nearby and fwe never missed TVs, radios, etc. even thought the cottage did have them available. the deck was big and we ate out there the few evenings it was not scorching hot. We did not miss the AC as the cottage always seemed to have a breeze and the water was right there for relief. The dock was satisfactory too. we had a good sized ski boat as well as kayaks we brought for our own use (although there was a canoe already there we did not use it) Town, with all the amenities was only two miles away with the water park available and well run (supposedly the biggest water park in NY state. parking was ample and having the owner next door was reassuring although we never needed anything. negatives were few most likely due to the owners just getting into the rental "thing". the outdoor gas grill was in "well used shape" and should be replaces. the front sliding doors were sometimes not sliding well and need some attention. Kitchen utensils just satisfactory but again we did have 19 mouths to feed! We always clean our rentals ourselves and the owner mailed us our refund without question within four days. We would make a suggestion to the owners that a notebook (like we almost always find in our rentals) filled with advice for hiking, dining, shopping etc. ----such as the little bakery in Inlet which was superb, the train ride which was especially fun with the kids but we all enjoyed it. One of our families was in this area last year and they served as a guide to many of the attractions in the area with options that can only be afforded when someone has lived there for a while. Now, bottom line. For a large group/family this was really nice for us. the price was reasonable for the area as it is very popular around there. I would advise that the little shortcomings mentioned should be addressed and I am sure they will be. i can only hope any prospective renter has a good a time as we did. If you like quiet in the evenings this is a good place. We had at least five evening campfires
Could not have found a better place to spend a week reminiscing about our families summers spent in the Adirondacks. This was our first experience renting a vacation home. There were 12 of us for most of the week and we had plenty of room, The location was perfect. We were off the beaten path enough to insure quiet peaceful evenings on the patio or around the firepit without hearing any road noise. The walk in beach was great! The owners were right next door and had the sweetest dog you could ever meet. Since we all have pets that we had to board or leave with friends we really enjoyed playing with this sweetheart of a dog! We would love to return again.
We stayed for a week on 1st Lake at this lovely property. We had as many as 16 people throughout the week and the accommodations were more than adequate. The kitchen was large enough for a family spaghetti dinner and breakfasts daily. The large front yard with the sandy beach was enjoyed by the kids and grandkids for swimming, kan-jam and Corn hole tournaments and even kick ball. A fantastic vacation at this spot for our family and we definitely plan to go back!
Me and 13 of my friends went up here for a guys get away golf weekend and had a great time. The view is great, the place is very quiet and Linda and Jeff are right next-door for anything that you need and very accommodating. We plan to be back again many times as the place was big enough for our group and very comfortable.
This is a great rental for large groups. We had 4 families and there was more than enough space to accommodate everyone. The house was clean and organized. There was a game area for the kids with a ping pong table. The kitchen was just the right size for the number of people we had to feed. The beds were comfortable and there was a little hideaway for the kids to play and sleep upstairs. The living room was spacious and overlooked the lake and the beautiful mountain scenery. There was a nice big wrap around deck with a bonus screened in porch. The backyard was big enough for us to play ultimate Frisbee with the kids and there was a nice sandy beach for my 3 young daughters to swim. The dock was big enough for us to tie off 2 large party barges that we rented from the marina in town. The property has easy access to the chain of lakes which we navigated all the way up to 4th Lake. We parked the boats at the public park (for free) and had a nice lunch at a little pizzeria in town. Linda and her family were more than helpful and her son taught us how to build a campfire the Adirondack way. If you want a 5 star hotel do not rent a cabin in the Adirondack Park. The cottages are simple and rustic and reflect the independence and work ethic of the people who live there. If you appreciate the little things in life this is the place for you. Great views, spacious interior and exterior, and privacy. It is hard to make everyone happy when you rent for a large group but this rental accomplished that. Thank you for a great stay!
We rented this home for our annual family vacation and had a great time. There was plenty of room for all 6 families. The house was clean with all amenities provided. The outdoors was well maintained and the location right on the lake was perfect. We would definitely stay here again.
