Things I liked: The price - but as a wise man once said - the sweetness of a low price is forgotten after the bitterness of low quality remains. I'm sure there are "good" air rifles in this price range, but this ain't it. I was attracted by the "Ruger" name as I am a Ruger Firearms owner and their quality and workmanship is always excellent. This piece of garbage air rifle is made in China under license from Ruger and frankly, it not only has none of th etypical Ruger quality, it gives them a black eye. On the good side (once you pass on accuracy and lack of QC) is that this gun appears to be solidly-built and once tuned by a competent technician, *may* be a decent rifle. The wood and finish on the stock is nice (until you let it get services - see below) and the bluing isn't bad.
Things I would have changed: The Ruger name. It's misleading - making you *think* you're gonna get an air rifle that measures up to Ruger standards. The Quality Control - before it leaves the factory, they must not test it AT ALL. Mine had a barrel that didn't "lock up" properly, making it IMPOSSIBLE to fire a three-shot group under 18" - even from a bench rest. The scope also couldn't even be brought into alignment with the bore - possibly because of the defective barrel and possibly because it was just a bad scope and/or rings. The scope runs out of adjustment before you're on-target. The "service" from Umarex - the importer for this air rifle. Yes, there is a one-year warranty - but YOU mush pay shipping BOTH WAYS (about $50 total PLUS whatever you have to "spend" to build or buy a proper shipping box. Umarex does typical "warranty work" - replacing things that may not need to be replaced so they can kick back the expense to the manufacturer, and ignoring or sweeping the easy-to-fix problems under the rug in order to "sell" the expensive, money-making warranty fixes. When returning the rifle, they packed it poorly - resulting in the gun shifting around inside the box, scratching the stock up. What was a new but defective gun became a "used" gun thanks to the meatheads at Umarex. The automatic safety is a pain. Safeties have a place and that place is under the total control of the shooter. Having an "automatic" one is like having somebody who doesn't talk to you playing with the gun.
What others should know: Aside from carrying products imported and "supported" by Umarex, Pyramid Air is NOT to blame for this fiasco of an air rifle. They were as helpful as their policies allow when directing me to Umarex and further disappointment. Their price was good and the shipping was OK. Telephone support was fast and accurate. Umarex has forever earned a bad name with me. I will NEVER buy another air rifle that Umarex has anything to do with. They've screwed me over, lied to me, charged me to have a "new" under-warranty gun repaired, didn't solve the problem (the gun STILL has problems - probably the scope/pairing) and they damaged the gun in the process. This gun is disappointing all around. The thrill of a new toy, the let-down that it doesn't work as it should, the cost and trouble of sending it back, the cost of GETTING it back to you, the LIES from Umarex, the fact that is STILL has problems. Pass on this rifle. Save yourself a LOT of disappointment and running around. Spend a few buck more on a quality air rifle - or - at least one thet Umarex has nothing to do with. Finally - I was prompted to write this review because of an e-mail from Pyramid Air asking "Think Dealers Lie? Owners don't!" and saying that you can rely on the review on their web site. I see a disclaimer that basically says my review will never see the light of day if I say something "wrong" - If that is the case, I HOPE Pyramid Air will take this opportunity to contact me to make me change my opinion!

Staff Writer
Three Lincoln County residents spoke out with concerns during Wednesday evening's Board of Education public hearing on redistricting.
All three residents – Jerry Haney, George Barr and Martin Oakes – live in the Denver area and clearly expressed that they believe only one of the three remaining proposals, known as "Plan 13,†meets the intent of why redistricting was undertaken in the first place.
Addressing the board, Haney said, "Districts are supposed to support equity, not incumbency.†Continuing his remarks, Haney added that for over 35 years Lincoln County has been saddled with meaningless districts that represent nothing more than land mass and a former school system (alluding to the merger between the former Lincolnton City Schools and Lincoln County Schools in the 1970s).
"Districts are supposed to represent people, not acreage,†Haney said.
Haney chastised the board for having "poor judgment†in its decision to have five district seats and two at-large seats, saying board members had been warned to go with four districts and three at-large or three districts and four at-large to avoid their current predicament.
"Now, because of your poor judgment, we have yet another state statute on the books that was not well-thought-out,†Haney said.
The comments then got up close and personal as Haney admonished the board. "It is unclear to me why the citizens of this county should be burdened for the next decade with districts that are gerrymandered and designed specifically to accommodate your personal addresses in 2011. This is not about your incumbency. It is about equity.â€
Barr's comment was brief and to the point, saying simply that "Map 13 is much easier for the Board of Elections to adopt and voters to understand. I strongly urge you to adopt Plan 13.â€
Oakes was the only speaker to lay the issue of non-contiguous districts on the table during the hearing. As reported in earlier editions of the Lincoln Times-News, there are currently no non-contiguous districts anywhere in North Carolina based on information received from Michael Crowell of the UNC School of Government. Crowell is an expert in elections law.
"The state senators and state representatives who designed and enacted the redistricting law know that districts are required to be contiguous,†Oakes said. "They were operating under that assumption when they drafted the law. If they hadn't assumed that, they would have written it in there.â€
"Citizens don't expect and don't want districts that are dropped all around,†Oakes said. "Plans 14 and 15 are essentially unfair.â€
The underlying reason for redrawing district lines within the county was to ensure equitable representation based on population. Under the current districts, Houser and Childers live in the sparsely populated North Brook Township and Mullis lives in slightly more populated Howards Creek. These two townships combined had a total population of 14,828 during the 2010 census.
Two additional members – Hatley and Burgin – live in the Lincolnton Township, whose population was 20,145 according to 2010 census data.
The Ironton and Catawba Springs Townships together totaled 43,096 in 2010, over twice that of the Lincolnton Township and nearly three times that of North Brook and Howards Creek combined. The revised legislation was intended to rectify this inequity in representation.
After hearing the approximately nine minutes of comments, the board moved into its normal agenda. Members had earlier agreed to take the public input for Wednesday's hearing, as well as input received via the Lincoln County Schools website, and consider it before taking a final vote on redistricting in December.
However, board member Clayton Mullis had other plans. Addressing the board, Mullis expressed his opinion that Plan 13 is the only acceptable plan, echoing the view expressed by Haney that Plans 14 and 15 simply protect incumbency and do not meet the spirit of why redistricting was undertaken in the first place.
Mullis suggested that the members up for re-election in 2012 (Ed Hatley, Tommy Houser, George Dellinger and Kelly Childers) "share in the sacrifice†that will occur as lines are redrawn.
"Under Plans 14 and 15, only the newly elected board members will be affected,†Mullis said, adding that he considers Plan 15 to be "immoral and unfair.â€
Mullis said that he is willing to take the newly elected members' "share of the sacrifice†by converting his seat to an at-large seat immediately, running for an at-large seat again in 2014. Other newer members of the board Bob Silver and Candy Burgin would represent the numbered districts in which they live and could run for those designated district seats again in 2014.
This proposal, if adopted, would result in long-time incumbents Dellinger and Houser being assured ability to run for a district seat in 2012. A new candidate would run for the district seat where Mullis now lives in 2012, and either Hatley or Childers – but not both – could run for an at large seat.
After presenting his alternative proposal, Mullis made a motion to totally "toss out†Plan 15. This motion was seconded by Burgin, but failed in the final board vote, with opposing votes from Silver, Houser, Dellinger and Childers. Board chair Hatley does not vote except in event of a tie.
"I'm disappointed, but they're entitled to their opinions,†said Mullis.
The board plans to make a final decision on which redistricting proposal to adopt at the Dec. 14 meeting.
In the meantime, the three plans remain posted on the Lincoln County Schools website for public review. The public can continue to submit comments on each plan prior to that meeting.

HUNTINGTON - The time is coming when Marshall coaches are going to have to sort out the deep, deep running back stable.How deep is that position? Put it this way: Redshirt freshman Remi Watson is good for two or three double-digit-yard runs per practice, but stands to be No. 5 in the pecking order.That would be behind Travon Van, Tron Martinez (if healthy), Kevin Grooms and Steward Butler. The latter two, 2011 nonqualifiers, are good for two or three highlight-reel runs.Thundering Herd coach Doc Holliday has seen a lot of talented running backs in his stops at West Virginia, North Carolina State and Florida, but he's not sure he's seen that much depth. With a week and half left in camp, the dilemma looms larger."When you get down to it, you can't get six guys ready to play," Holliday said. "You try to get six of them ready to play, you can't get anybody. There's going to come a time when we've got to cut back the reps that certain guys get. So right now, they're fighting for reps when they get an opportunity."I think you can get four ready. There are places for [the other] athletes - they're going to play on special teams, and they're going to do some things. You can get four to five somewhat ready to go, and a couple of guys really ready to roll, and go play." nn Evan McKelvey saw some first-team reps at weak-side linebacker late in Tuesday's practice, as Devin Arrington sat out. Nothing to read into that, at this point.And interesting development was the rotation of cornerbacks: Penn State transfer Derrick Thomas is receiving a better split of reps with Monterius Lovett, opposite Keith Baxter. Darryl Roberts remains out for an undetermined period, but could return soon. On the offensive side, Gage Niemeyer worked on the first string at left tackle, with Jordan Jeffries behind him. The rest of the line remains constant: left tackle Josh Lovell, center Chris Jasperse, right guard John Bruhin and right tackle Garrett Scott.The Herd has been working with some short-yardage packages, with Spring Valley graduate Zach Wellman, Cortez Carter and Devon Johnson auditioning as fullbacks. The latter two are linebackers, Carter a sophomore and Johnson a freshman.Some players remaining out with injuries included tight end C.J. Crawford, defensive tackle Jarquez Samuel and defensive end Matt Pickett. Van did intensive agility work after practice, so he seems to be progressing. On the other hand, Martinez hasn't done a lot.Another walk-on, safety Isaiah Haskins, has left the team. nn Positive news on Marshall's scariest void, the punting game: Tyler Williams is becoming more consistent, both in avoiding shanks and getting off long punts.He does have a lively leg - when he gets a hold of one, it's going 50 or more yards in the air."Last couple days [I've noticed]," Holliday said. "I thought he was tremendous yesterday, and he carried over into today. That's a positive." nn Doug Chapman, the Herd's No. 2 all-time rusher, will serve as game analyst on some Conference USA games, CBS Sports Network announced Tuesday.Chapman is in his second season at the network, having served as game analyst for ESPN. He also has been an NFL expert for CBS-Atlanta and a writer for the NFL Players Association.He will team up with play-by-play announcer Brad Johansen and sideline reporter Lisa Byington for Division II games and select Conference USA contests. Most C-USA contests will be handled by play-by-play man Dave Ryan, with former Minnesota coach Tim Brewster the analyst and Evan Washburn on the sidelines.The network also announced the hiring of two other recently fired head coaches, Ron Zook and Houston Nutt. They will serve as studio analysts on the network's college football shows.Marshall has three games on CBS Sports: a home game Oct. 6 at 3:30 p.m. against Tulsa; Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. at Southern Mississippi and Nov. 23 at 2 p.m. at East Carolina. The latter game is a Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. nn Finally, a few words from Holliday on the offensive line. Good words, even."Those guys had a lot of criticism, including [from] me," Holliday said. "I went in the room today and said, 'I'm not going to tell you I like you yet, but when I walk in the room, at least I'm not puking.'"Reach Doug Smock at 304-348-5130, firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/dougsmock.

Cumulative exergy consumption (CExC) analysis of energy carriers in China
Cumulative exergy consumption (CExC), which represents the total exergy of natural resources required to provide a product, is an appropriate indicator for quantifying the depletion of natural resource. The objective of this study is to determine the CExC values of the principal energy carriers in China, which is the largest energy producer in the world, through the matrix method (balance equation). The results show that electricity has the largest CExC value among different energy carriers, followed by oil–refining products, coal products and fossil fuels. The results also show that matrix method can get more accurate results than process method (sequence method) for energy carriers owing to the flow loops in energy industry.

It just so happened that I got in some primo 2007 Sonora Sunrise a couple days before. It was discovered in 2006, so this is old dig. From everything I am hearing, it is all mined out except for a very small amount still coming out of the mine. It doesn't hold a candle to the original, though. The colors in my old slabs are eye popping! The material takes a nice polish, too, which is not usually the case.
I picked out the nicest slab and thought it would be cool to let Susan pick the area where she wanted the cab to come from. She wanted a small round cab. I sent her pictures of the slab and asked her if she wanted to mark it out. Absolutely, she did. She was tickled to death and really felt like she was part of the process for the stone in her big project. She sent back an image with the circled area.
I usually use templates to mark out my cabs. I typically will find the sweetest spot or two and mark those out. The rest of the slab, IF it is nice enough, gets marked out after. Sometimes, I just freeform the stone around the lines. And, as I warned Susan, sometimes... ok, often... the slab will break while it is being cut into preforms/precabs. If that is the case, I free form the pieces that are left.
My circle template had a good size for her, so I marked it out and sent the image for approval. "Perfect!" she says.
I said a quick prayer and hoped for the best as the preform was cut out. The cab is in the middle of the slab, so a break could ruin the whole thing. But, that wasn't to be the case. The round came out just fine. I had a nice large piece left to make one or two more. Two little pieces broke off the end, but I can cab those. In fact, one is done already.
The round was then attached to the dop stick with hard dop wax. It's not really a wax, per say, it is a combination of hard wax and shellac. It holds the stone securely, so long as it isn't cold. To get it off the stone, you place it in the freezer. I generally have about 50 dopped up at a time. It was very important to have the dopstick centered.
Susan had very specific needs for her cab. I was so nervous cabbing it! Number one, I'm not real great at doing rounds. Some people will use a hollow core, round, diamond bit to cut out a round and others will spin the cab against the grinding wheel with a drill. Me, I just try to get it right. Number 2, the material can be hard to work with. Because it is so soft, it is very unforgiving. Blink at the wrong time, while you are on a coarse wheel, and BAM! you just dug a hole in your cab! And, number 3, I wanted it to be perfect the project. Which made me even more nervous.
I took my time and checked measurements as I went. It went really well and it took a really good shine. Then I stopped to admire it and noticed that it was slightly off round. The human eye can discern tiny discrepancies. And, mine did. But, when I measured it, it was actually only a half mm off. I resigned myself to imperfection and wrote to Susan about her cab. I sent her pictures of the completed cab. I offered to cab another if she needed it. Thankfully, though, it will work fine for her project and she loves it. :)
Susan is going to keep me in pictures of her project. I'll do an update when the project is finished. I can't wait to see it! I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for her that her book project pans out nicely. :)

Keating Sorely Misses 'Enterprise'By Michelle
November 12, 2005 - 10:43 PM
"You must be a nerd's wet dream," Australian radio talk show hosts Ian & Mikey told Star Trek: Enterprise's Dominic Keating (Reed), who lamented that he wished it were true.
"If only!" Keating told his interviewers at Radio 2, who cited his appearances in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Poltergeist and Enterprise. "I had great fun in the four years we did on the Trek show...it was a playground. We had a great cast and it was a really fantastic crew. I sorely miss the job, I have to say."
Keating called acting on Star Trek "a bit of high drama" and described his impressions of arriving at Paramount's Stage 8 to film: "Every week you'd go in there and they'd just miraculously turn half a hectare into a comet or a jungle with a waterfall. Planet Hell, we called it affectionately." He said that the budget was huge, like "a little film every week." The film Trekkies gave him "a pretty good understand from the get-go" about what fans were like, though he laughed, "I was never going to go see that dentist, that's for sure!"
Nothing, he added, could truly have warned him of the extremes of fandom until his first convention in Phoenix where there were a pack of Klingons in full regalia melting in the 120-degree weather. Asked by the hosts whether he could spend the rest of his life traveling the world to such gatherings, Keating admitted that at one convention he stopped himself while telling the story of how he got the role of Reed, protesting that he felt strange telling the story so long after the event. "A woman shouted out from the back, 'Try saying that in 35 years, honey!'"
Of more potential embarrassment is the story of how Keating got his Actors Equity card, which he explained, laughing: "I did a drag act to get my union card and I'm proud of it! Six months of drag!" He said that he did not have a drag name but played an awkward public school boy. "Winston Churchill always said that you've never been to public school until you've slept with at least five boys," he noted cheerfully.
Since Star Trek, Keating said that he had done a couple of movies and was about to start a third. "One looks set to go to Sundance," he said. "It's a mocku-documentary about Jonathan Winters, who is the granddaddy of modern funny in America." After that film he did "a little low budget horror movie", Hollywood Kills, in which he played "this John Waters-esque director that lures young hollywood hopefuls to his studio where I then entrap them and make snuff movies out of them. One for the kids!" And he was about to start filming on Robert Zemeckis' Beowulf, where he was loooking forward to working with Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich and Angelina Jolie, the latter of whom he said he hoped would "adopt" him.

DAVID Cameron today offers the people of Britain a historic choice on whether they want to remain part of the European Union or leave it.
The Prime Minister will promise an in-out referendum by November 2017, should the Conservatives win the 2015 General Election, saying that public disillusionment with the EU is now at an all-time high and democratic consent is "wafer thin".
Loading article content
"It is time for the British people to have their say; it is time to settle this European question in British politics," he will declare.
In full: David Cameron's speech on Europe
Mr Cameron will be hoping his "red meat" speech on Europe will be enough to satisfy the bulk of Conservative Eurosceptics and neutralise the threat from the anti-EU UKIP.
However, it will open up a new front with the SNP, arguing that the only guarantee of Scotland staying in the EU is for Scots to vote for independence.
His eagerly awaited speech in the City this morning comes within hours of Downing Street – faced with borrowing up £7 billion on the same period last year, a fall in manufacturing export orders and the announcement by Rolls-Royce of 400 job losses at its plant near Coventry – insisting the UK economy is "healing".
In it, the PM will argue that, with "courage and conviction", a better, more flexible EU can be created, one with which Britain is comfortable.
He will set out his vision for Europe based on five principles: competitiveness; flexibility; power flowing back to, not just away from, member states; democratic accountability; and fairness.
Mr Cameron will claim that Labour, the Liberal Democrats and Europhile Tories like Lord Heseltine, who argue against holding an in-out referendum, would make Britain's eventual exit more likely.
"Simply asking the British people to carry on accepting a European settlement over which they have had little choice is a path to ensuring that when the question is finally put – and at some stage it will have to be – it is much more likely that the British people will reject the EU.
"That is why I am in favour of a referendum. I believe in confronting this issue, shaping it, leading the debate, not simply hoping a difficult situation will go away."
The PM will say he understands the "impatience" of those, including many on the Tory backbenches, who want a referendum now, but will insist this would present a false choice between the status quo and leaving the EU.
It would be wrong to ask people whether to stay or go before there is a chance to put the relationship right. "How," he will ask, "can we sensibly answer the question 'in or out' without being able to answer the most basic question: 'what is it exactly that we are choosing to be in or out of'?"
Mr Cameron will argue that the EU that emerges from the eurozone crisis could be transformed beyond recognition and that time will be needed to enable a real choice to be offered.
The PM will explain that the Tories' next election manifesto will ask voters for a mandate to negotiate a new settlement with fellow member states in the next Parliament.
"When we have negotiated that new settlement, we will give the British people a referendum with a very simple in-or-out choice to stay in the EU on these new terms or come out altogether. It will be an in-out referendum."
Legislation will be drafted before the election, which, if the Tories win, will be introduced immediately and passed by the end of 2015. Negotiations with Brussels will be completed and the referendum itself held "within the first half of the next Parliament", ie by November 2017.
In extracts already released ahead of his postponed speech in Amsterdam last week, the PM said that if the EU did not meet the challenges of sorting out the eurozone crisis, increasing competitiveness and tackling a lack of public support, Britain would "drift towards the exit".
Today, he will add: "I believe something very deeply: that Britain's national interest is best served in a flexible, adaptable and open European Union; and that such a European Union is best with Britain in it."
Ahead of the speech, Ed Miliband insisted it would define Mr Cameron as "a weak Prime Minister, being driven by his party, not by the national economic interest".
The Labour leader insisted the priority for Britain was growth and jobs.
He added: "This speech will do nothing for a young person looking for work, for a small business worried about a loan, for the family whose living standards are squeezed. Britain needs a Prime Minister who is making change happen now in Europe, ensuring that we put jobs and growth ahead of austerity and unemployment."

(AP) AURORA, Colo. - Shooting suspect James Holmes applied to join a Colorado gun range last month but never became a member because of his behavior and a "bizarre" message on his voice mail greeting, the range's owner said Sunday.
Holmes, 24, emailed an application to join the Lead Valley Range in Byers on June 25 in which he said he was not a user of illegal drugs or a convicted felon, said owner Glenn Rotkovich.
But when Rotkovich called to invite him to a mandatory orientation the following week, he said he heard Holmes' voice mail greeting that was "bizarre - guttural, freakish at best."
It identified the number as belonging to "James," so Rotkovich said he left a message.
University: Colo. shooting suspect had federal grant
Aurora shooting suspect appointed public defender
He left two other messages but eventually told his staff to watch out for Holmes at the July 1 orientation and not to accept him into the club, Rotkovich said. His comments were first reported by Fox News.
"There's something weird here," Rotkovich said he concluded.
Holmes is being held without bond on suspicion of multiple counts of first-degree murder after a shooting rampage minutes into a premiere of the new Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises" early Friday that left 12 people dead and 58 wounded. He is scheduled for an initial hearing Monday and has been assigned a public defender.
NYC Mayor: Hold Obama, Romney accountable on gun control
Colo. Rep.: Congress can't avoid gun issue
President Barack Obama left Washington for Colorado on Sunday to visit with the families of victims. The city of Aurora planned a vigil to remember the dead and wounded in the shooting later in the evening.
The gunman's semiautomatic assault rifle jammed during the attack at the Aurora movie theater, forcing him to switch to another gun with less firepower, a federal law enforcement official told The Associated Press. That malfunction and weapons switch during the shooting rampage might have saved some lives.
As the investigation into the massacre continued Sunday, the University of Colorado said it was looking into whether Holmes used his position as a graduate student to order materials in the potentially deadly booby traps that police said they found in his apartment.
Explosive material removed from suspect's apt.
Holmes got deliveries over four months to his home and school, authorities have said. The university is looking into what was received at the school to assist police with their investigation, said spokeswoman Jacque Montgomery.
The suspect was described as a budding scientist, brimming with potential, who pursued a graduate program even as he planned the attack with "calculation and deliberation," police said.
