Gabby Giffords's Husband Buys AR-15
Submitted by JO4RP on Sun, 03/10/2013 - 10:32http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/03/09/Gabby-Gif...
Mark E. Kelly, gun-control proponent and husband to former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, recently purchased an AR-15 (an "assault weapon," he called it)—which he now says he intended as an illustration of the need for more stringent gun laws.
Kelly reportedly bought the AR-15 and a 1911-style semi-automatic pistol at a gun store in Tucson, Arizona.
Breitbart News received a tip on this when Neil McCabe, editor of Guns & Patriots newsletter, contacted us on March 7 and said:
Mark E. Kelly, made purchases which included an AR-15--sometimes described as an "assault rifle"--at 3:30 pm on the afternoon of March 5 at Diamondback Police Supply, 170 S. Kolb Street, Tucson, AZ.
According to McCabe, witnesses to the purchases claimed Kelly purchased "high capacity" magazines as well.

Is he a criminal?
Then the system worked they legally sold him a gun and it was a fair transaction.
Gabby Giffords needs to get on with her life and so does he.

What's his complaint exactly?
And what's his beef with modern sporting rifles and 30-round magazines? His wife was tragically shot by a liberal whackjob bearing a handgun.
Kelly still can't pick it up because of the waiting period designed to prevent impulsive violence. How long is a background check supposed to take--what's wrong with "minutes"?
Everything worked the way it's supposed to work. There *is* federal gun control in Arizona and the rest of the US and it appears to be functioning as intended.
I truly cannot figure out this guy's beef.
Well, I'm just pretending to be confused--anti-gun crackpots are, well, crackpots. A friend of mine expressed concern that somebody is making whole AK-47s with a Makerbot. So I queried further, how do you make a gun barrel out of hot glue, exactly? OK, not a whole rifle, just the lower something or other. Seems it would be cheaper just to buy one? Well, they're doing it in case the guns are banned. Oh really, millions of modern sporting rifles are going to be banned? And people with Makerbot toys are going to make one part of the newly banned gun out of hot glue? And you perceive this to be worrisome?
I'm aware that somebody shot 600 rounds through an AR-15 having a 3D printed lower receiver. Not a Kalashnikov, not a Makerbot, and not a practical alternative to just buying conventional receivers through the black market if you really needed one and they were all suddenly outlawed.

Why the fuss about 3d printing?
I'm a mechanical engineer. With an engine lathe and a couple days, I could make a PPS-43. It's MUCH easier to make something full auto, open bolt than semi-auto closed bolt.
The 3d printer isn't a game changer, it does what is perfectly possible with a lathe, milling machine and hand tools. Since you can't use tool steel with a 3d printer yet, the results will be inferior anyway.

It's not teribly difficult to figure him out
He has fallen under the spell of relevance that the MSM has woven about he and his wife and has found a pulpit upon which to expound on his new found fame. His career as an Astronaut was nearing an end and this allows him time to promote his self. Fully expect a Senatorial run from him shortly to which he will more than likely succeed with over the bones of the Second Amendment. How preposterous a story he threw out that he was going to give the weapon to the police but it will be swallowed, hook, line and sinker.

Your friend
makes no sense, criminals are going to have guns whether they are legal or not, and most likely not 3d printed which is far more expensive than manufactured parts. Lemme know when they start 3D printing nuclear weapons then I might be concerned.

Makes me proud to live in Tucson. I saw two guys open carrying the other day. Nobody got shot. We have some of the best gun laws in the country here. I may go buy a gun from the same place as Mr. Kelly to encourage the business.

Was he trying to show that it's easy to buy guns? But it's supposed to be easy to buy guns because it is a perfectly legal thing to do.

For owning something, because last time i checked, owning something is still not a crime.
We have a literal problem here, we are talking of crimes commited, and they are talking about potential crime........yes, it can be awfull if that potential turns reality, and im not unkind, i see what they say, but i also see what they refuse to acknowledge, the forcing of that will, those who wish to volunter, thats their decision to make, but nothing short of volunteering would work, and an understanding that it would be for future generations to benefit.......and i dont see that starting until governments trust the people enough to disarm first, a LOOOONG way to go methinks

I don't get it
So he had a background check that came back OK I guess and he legally purchased a gun? Is he saying background checks can't detect liberal socialist gun-grabbing agendas? Or is he trying to say "Hey look, I'm a scum-bag but yet they still sold me a gun"? This would make some sense to me.

You don't get whats going on!
The thing that is oblivious to some of my friends that live in SF and Mexico is the Rich and Elite all like gun control because the rich don't have gun control they all carry, like the congress woman that's against guns she always had a concealed carry but was big on making everyone else in San Fran, disarmed.
He bought it because he is now part of the elite.
Gun control isn't to stop the crooks its to stop the people if someone checks out who is really stealing. a VERY RICH husband or banker come to mind.
Same thing in Mexico the rich all have Guards and Guns the good honest masses don't.
So who loses.. the poor and honest average guys.
By the way just like the USA 85 to 95% of the people wouldn't ever shoot except in self defense, most people respect life to much to go preemptive.
And if you didn't have gun control already take 3 to 4 ar15 armed citizens, and put them up against one solder with a 16 full auto,equipped with a few drum mags the odd swing way over to him and a helicopter who you going to bet your life on the 2 or the 4?
Just want what seems to be missing, Truth and Justice for ALL
What is fraud except creating "value" from nothing and passing it off as something?

I get it all to well why they want to disarm us. What I don't get is why this moron thought that by going into a gun store and getting a background check before purchasing a gun he would somehow shock or convince people we need tougher gun laws??? I mean I could understand if he was wanted for crimes and was still able to buy a gun, that might shock some people. I think he would do more for gun control if he took those guns and pointed them at the cops and let them shoot him down. At least then he would get some news headlines like "Man Threatens Police with AR15 Gets Filled with 5 lbs. of Lead"

Gabby Giffords' Husband, Mark Kelly, Testifies Against AR-15s — Then Goes Out and Buys One
Posted on March 10, 2013 by Nick Leghorn
Over the last few weeks, we've seen Gabby Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly using the emotion that comes from her 2011 shooting in Tuscon, Arizona to demand "something needs to be done" to stop "gun violence," and that something (according to Mark Kelly) is the ban of "assault weapons." He has testified to that effect before the U.S. Senate, as well as in Colorado. However, it appears that Mark Kelly is another shining example of the belief of the civilian disarmament folks that the same logic they use to try and disarm the general population doesn't apply to themselves. Breitbart has the story . . .
It links to the same Breitbart article you cited (well TheTruthAboutGuns.com and TheGunWire.com is where I first saw this today), but has apt commentary.

He underwent a background check,
when he purchased it? What point is he trying to make? He also purchased a handgun, but made out the AR to be bad, when it was a handgun used against Gabby.
Nah, this looks to me to be more of a ploy for a future political run..

The Great Mystery Creek Marketing War looks to have started early this year.
Mitsubishi has fired the opening salvo with an announcement that it is about to introduce a special edition Triton ute that will cost thousands less than the standard models when it goes on sale at the end of this month.
The vehicle has been named ChargerX, and it is essentially a 4WD double-cab GLX which has been specced up to the level of the top-of-the-range GLS.
Mitsubishi New Zealand is promoting the ute with a price of $35,990 plus GST and on-road costs, which it says will make it the best-value ute at the coming New Zealand Agricultural Fieldays, an event legendary for the motor vehicle price discounting that goes on as the car companies vie for farmer business.
The event, which lays claim to being the biggest trade show in the Southern Hemisphere, opens on June 13.
However, at this point let's back up the ute a little. That's because, while there's no argument the pricing of the new Triton ChargerX is sharp, its launch appeals as an even sharper marketing exercise.
Why? While the $51,090 and $54,190 listed prices for the Triton GLX and GLS double-cab 4WD utes are GST inclusive, the published price for the ChargerX is GST exclusive. If that 15 per cent is added, the price goes up to $41,388 which in effect makes the ute a GLX with a $10,000 discount - which is almost identical to what I'm told the average buyer is going to be able to ask of a GLX as a Fieldays special anyway.
But it is also true that the Triton ChargerX is quite a bit more than a GLX.
While the ute continues to have the GLX version's EasySelect four- wheel-drive system rather than the SuperSelect system that is aboard the GLS, and still has 16-inch alloys instead of 17-inch versions, the ChargerX has pinched a wealth of cosmetic goodies from the top model.
On the outside, these include the GLS' front grille, chrome rear bumper, sports side steps, and chromed exterior mirrors and door handles.
The GLX ladder rack has also been removed in the interests of a sportier look.
On the inside, the ChargerX gets a leather-trimmed steering wheel, carpet replaces vinyl on the floor, there are silver surrounds on the dash, door trim and centre console, and there are ChargerX floor mats.
How much is all that worth? Dunno. But the level of specification does make it difficult to argue against Mitsubishi NZ's claim that this is the best-value price ever seen in New Zealand for a sport-specification ute equipped with electronic stability and traction control and a full set of six airbags.
The one-tonne-payload ChargerX will also continue to produce 407 Nm of torque from its 2.5 litre turbodiesel, and can tow a three-tonne braked trailer.
So that's the first shot fired across the bows of the other ute manufacturers in an annual Fieldays vehicle sales war that always sees customers bombarded with so many convincing specials that each year it causes a big spike in New Zealand's national vehicle sales statistics.
Now we can all sit back to see what comes next!

CHICAGO (AP) — A federal judge in Chicago has sentenced the billionaire creator of Beanie Babies to two years of probation but no prison for tax evasion.
H. Ty Warner appeared somber but composed as he made a brief statement before he was sentenced Tuesday in which he apologized and said he felt "shame and embarrassment" for what he had done.
He could have been sentenced to up to five years in prison after pleading guilty to a single tax evasion count for not paying taxes on $25 million in income stashed in Swiss bank accounts.
U.S. District Judge Charles Kocoras also ordered Warner to serve 500 hours of community service.
Warner is among the highest-profile targets in the federal government's push to prosecute Americans concealing income from the IRS overseas.

Yes Wayne, it is a gasser. Last night I went looking for a problem. I think there must be an air leak. It took FOREVER to get the motor primed and I think between the idle not wanting to settle down and not being able to prime the motor that there has to be a broken gasket or something. I took the motor off last night to start checking it out. I did find one problem. The throttle arm on the carb is bad. It is CF and has worn around the linkage to the point that there is a ton of play. It was not taking me to full throttle. So now I got to figure something out for that. I was hoping to fly it on Monday but my hope is diminishing. I guess I'll spend the time figuring out a throttle arm and making a new gasket set instead.
Wayne what have you used for a throttle arm? I found a bunch of options on Flying Giants. http://www.flyinggiants.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=57549 |

Okay, now I want Lucky Charms!!! Lol
Just took the engine off of the Sabre, I have to move it forward a little for the CG to be tolerable. The weather has cleared out here and it's looking like a nice day. I have stuff to do this morning but hopefully I'll get to the field later this afternoon! It was oatmeal and toast for me today! Oh yeah, yesterday my daughter had a friend with her when we went to the mall and they asked me to buy them some new lanyards for their school IDs. The friend picked out one that said "I love bacon"!!! I think I like this kid!! |

Having said that, we had the weather guy at our club who spent more time messing with the needles, EVERY flight then he did flying. Drove my buddy nuts. I think you are on the right path Nate, finding what changed. |

The Stand - Miniseries (Good, Bad and Ugly) *Unhidden spoilers abound* (self.stephenking)
submitted 1 year ago by sasky_81
The Stand has always been one of my favorite books. I have owned three versions, two of which I read into disrepair, and finally an ebook for my Kindle that is holding up well. I have two copies of the DVD miniseries as well (a back-up, because it was hard to find the first time, so I bought two). The point of that little blurb is - I have dedicated a significant portion of my life to the book (and that is a little bit sad). The movie adaptation thread a few days ago got me thinking critically about it, and I thought I would share my thoughts. Regardless if anyone reads this, getting it off my chest feels good.
The Good
Gary Sinise as Stu Redman. Period. If Sinise wasn't so good as Stu, I think he could have pulled off Roland, but I don't think one person could do both. This was masterful casting, and he pulls together a lot of weak points (the crew of doctors in the various hospitals during the flu were not particularly talented).
The cameos and bit players. Ed Harris as Starkey. Kathy Bates as Ray Flowers. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Ken Jenkins as Frannie's dad. I'll even go so far as to say Ossie Davis as The Judge (although his death scene wasn't the best). Whenever one of these guys popped up, it was a treat.
Other good casting: Roy Walston, Peter Van Norden, Miguel Ferrer, Bill Fagerbakke and Matt Frewer.
The crucifixion scenes looked as real as I would like to see. Also, the buildup with Larry and Ralph at the end looked good, until the very end.
"Baby Can You Dig Your Man"
Tasteful omissions: I never really liked The Kid's story line, and wasn't sad to see it go. Cutting the soldier execution game show in favour of Frannie and her dad listening to Ray Flowers on the radio worked really well.
The Bad
Casting-wise: Jamey Sheridan was OK, but the part really needed someone more powerful. He did the jovial part well (Flagg always seemed to me as if he was enjoying himself), but the malevolence just wasn't there. Laura San Giacomo as Nadine / Rita was unimpressive, but I don't know if a better actress would have pulled off that debacle. I already mentioned the doctors, also the people from Arnette.
Frannie should have told her dad she was pregnant, to get it out of the way. It shouldn't have taken until she hooked up with Stu to get that fact out.
Ugh, I wanted to slap Shawnee Smith, but I wanted to slap Julie in the books, so maybe this isn't a complete negative.
Nick's reaction to finding the bomb in the closet. Dear God. Rob Lowe was not particularly well suited to this role.
The delayed reaction shots when Stu kills Dietz.
Glen Bateman getting quite heavy-handed with the religion on Lloyd after he gets shot.
The Ugly
The Hand of God. If you watch the DVD commentary, Miguel Ferrer says "that's a pretty tall order", which is true - but it was still terrible.
The Rat Man.
Stu's fall when he broke his leg.
The Hand of God. It deserves to be mentioned at least twice.
That felt good. It was incredibly long to read, I realize. Please share your additions / changes to my categories, or just tell me that I spent way too much time on this subject.
[–]deadandmessedup 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago (1 child)
This is a very fair look at the series. I'd put Matt Frewer higher on the positives, though. I think it's easily one of his best roles. His committal to the Trashcan Man is amazing.
But yeah, that Hand of God thing. I wasn't huge on it in the novel, but at least King didn't put the idea of a piddly little CG effect in your brain. On that note, Flagg's transformations are pretty embarrassing - I would've rather had hard cuts (or the makeup omitted altogether) instead of enduring those goofy morphing effects.
[–]sasky_81[S] 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
You could definitely tell that things were done on quite a tight budget.
[–]argleblather 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (1 child)
The Stand miniseries, is another case (like IT) where I love the book, and hate the filmed version. I agree on Flagg, I just don't find him that intimidating. I thought that the casting for Harold was abysmal. Honestly. Parker Lewis as Harold Lauder? That was a hard fail.
I actually really disliked the rendition of 'Baby can you Dig your Man' which is a pretty bluesy/funk tune as its described in the book, considering the book was originally written in the 70's, that would fit. The 80's synth pop version just felt wrong to me.
Ah well. I still like the book. Like many of King's books, it's one that will probably always be too complex to make a great movie.
[–]docwilson 7 points8 points9 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I agree, Harold's casting was laugh out loud ridiculous.
Someday HBO or Showtime will do The Stand, and it won't suck. Until then I'll stick with rereading the book every 5 years or so.
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago (2 children)
I feel like i'm the only person on here who really loved the mini series. Yeah, it wasn't perfect. But I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
[–]domdest 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago (0 children)
That miniseries is one of the biggest contributions to me becoming the King fan I am today. I even thought Rob Lowe did a passably good job playing Nick Andros. Playing a deaf and mute character who is startlingly intelligent really locks you down with how you convey that, and a lot of body language in film has to be exaggerated in order to convey meaning. In the book he is a largely internal character and that simply can't be done on screen.
I don't know, maybe nostalgia helps me to gloss over any failings in this mini-series, but I love it just the way it is.
I don't want to give the wrong impression. I enjoyed it enough to watch it multiple times - but that might have caused me to over analyze as well.
[–]GigglyHyena 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (2 children)
To the bad column I have to add the woman who played Mother Abigail. Her commentary is so annoying I can't even. Still one of my favorite adaptations so far.
[–]sasky_81[S] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Also true. The rest of the DVD commentary is quite good, and interesting at times. Miguel Ferrer was especially good. Ruby Dee would then chime in and absolutely kill any flow.
[–]GigglyHyena 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
She was fumfering so much it was like she actually was 115 years old.

At 6 a.m. Friday morning Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer, his coaching staff and about 60 or so veterans in the football program hit the practice fields at the Harmon Family Football Park. The 2012 football season is upon us.
The practice activities, with players in shorts, spikes, mesh jerseys and helmets, consisted of stretching, running and spirited drill work. The two FieldTurf fields were in use. Former Ohio State coach Earle Bruce, a longtime mentor to Meyer, sat in a chair at the base of a huge tower in the north end zone of field No. 3 and watched.
"Everybody was executing plays, on defense and offense," said sophomore cornerback Bradley Roby. "Everything was crisp."
"When we came out here in the spring we had no clue," junior running back Carlos Hyde said, commenting on the first days learning a new offensive scheme. "Today, we were pretty sharp."
"Everyone was energized," sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller said. "Everything was good."

Quoting 1252. KoritheMan: Well CPAC usually doesn't have storms, so I guess we can say it's active. |
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 3:40 PM GMT on August 31, 2013
A tropical wave that emerged from the coast of Africa on Friday (Invest 96L) is headed west-northwest towards the Cape Verde Islands. This wave is struggling against high wind shear of 20 - 25 knots. The shear is expected to drop to the moderate level on Sunday, then increase again to the high level on Monday through Thursday. In their 8 am EDT Saturday Tropical Weather Outlook, NHC put the 5-day odds of development at 40%, and the 2-day odds at 40%. Our reliable models for tropical cyclone genesis show little or no development of 96L. This disturbance is unlikely to affect any land areas except the Cape Verde Islands.
Figure 1. MODIS satellite image of Invest 96L off the coast of Africa, taken at 8:30 am EDT on August 31, 2013. Image credit: NASA.
Disturbance 96L moved very slowly across the Sahel region of Africa during the week, dumping torrential rains on Wednesday that triggered flash floods that killed at least 55 people in Mali's capital city, Bamako. Serious flooding also affected neighboring Burkina Faso, Gambia, Guinea, Niger and Senegal. Buildings have collapsed, roads have been rendered impassable, and valuable farmland is submerged beneath flood water, affecting over 200,000 people. More than 100 homes were swept away as the Niger River burst its banks, bringing down bridges and submerging entire streets.

Disturbance approaching Lesser Antilles no immediate threat to develop
A tropical wave located about 400 miles east of the Lesser Antilles Islands is moving westward at 15 mph, and has changed little over the past three days. The wave has a modest amount of spin, but only a limited amount of heavy thunderstorm activity. In their 8 am EDT Saturday Tropical Weather Outlook, NHC put the 5-day odds of formation of this disturbance at 10%, and the 2-day odds at 0%. Wind shear is a high 20 - 30 knots over the system, and is expected to stay high through Monday. An area of dry air and dust from the Saharan Air Layer (SAL) surrounds the disturbance and is interfering with development. Wind shear may fall to the moderate level in 4 - 5 days when the wave reaches the Central Caribbean, increasing the odds of development then. Of our three reliable models for predicting genesis, the UKMET, GFS, and European models, only the UKMET model develops the disturbance, predicting it will become a tropical depression south of Haiti on Thursday. The wave will spread heavy rains and gusty winds to the Lesser Antilles Islands on Sunday and Monday.

US 4782231 A Abstract This invention relates to a standard component 99m TC elution generator useful for medical purposes and consisting of prefabricated component parts. The main generator column of the device may be used both as an irradiation container and an elution container, enabling the user to supply activated or nonactivated parts. The main generator column made from by neutrns little activable materials serves first as reactor irradiation ampoule and after having been activated in the reactor by neutrons and after a simple adjustment serves directly as the generator column. It is filled with water insoluable molybdates or polymolybdates (with the molybdenum content in the range 10-40%), easily releasing 99m Tc generated by radioactive decay of the mother 99 Mo formed in it by neutron activation. This column filling serves originally as target material for reactor irradiations and afterwards it is directly used as the generator elution matrix. Accordingly, all components of the generator can be produced in a "ready-to-use" form and supplied as inactive material. When nonactivated parts are used, activation is performed on-site by a local reactor. The use of nonactivated parts is advantageous because they are more easily and more safely manufactured and transported. The invention further provides for efficient generation of 99m TC radionuclides from medium neutron flux irradiation of molybdenum in a natural isotopic mixture.

Description This invention relates to a standard component 99m Tc elution generator useful for medical purposes and consisting of prefabricated component parts. The fundamental part of the generator is formed by the main generator-ampoule-column made from materials with low radiactivation ability by neutrons. It serves first as the reactor irradiation ampoule and after suitable adjustment directly as proper generator column. The ampoule-column is filled with the target material--elution matrix, that contains high amounts of molybdenum (up to 40% by weight) consisting of water insoluable molybdates or polymolybdates releasing easily 99m Tc technetium generated in the column by radioactive decay of mother 99 Mo, formed in the matrix structure by neutron activation. The filling of the ampoule-column serves originally as target material for reactor irradiations and afterwards it is directly used as the proper elution matrix of the generator. The high content of molybdenum in the target material-elution matrix makes possible the utilization even of low to medium power reactors for neutron activation. The production possibility of the main generator column as completely inactive material already before the reactor irradiation facilitates substantially the post-irradiation assembly procedure. In such a way the manufacturer can supply not only the complementary components but even the main generator ampoule-column as inactive parts, that can be produced highly effective in large batches and kept for a long time on stock. 99m Tc is a widely used radionuclide in radiopharmaceutical and nuclear medicine applications. The particular medical advantage of this radionuclide is its very short half-life of about 6 hours. However, the short half-life creates manufacture and delivery problems, because the radionuclide must be used very soon after it is produced. For this reason, 99m Tc is preferably supplied to hospitals on demand by an on-site generator, through disintegration of isotopic molybdenum (99 Mo) and chemical separation of the 99m Tc product. High purity and high activity are important, so that the 99m Tc product may be used immediately as a pertechnate, in the preparation of radionuclide tracer compounds, etc. Current medical technology requires the use of radionuclide generators which can supply radioactive levels of at least 4 GBq, most often 8-12 GBq, and in some cases as high as 40 GBq per generator. Of radionuclide the generators now in use, elution generators are the most advantageous because they provide for rapid, efficient, and simple production of the desired radionuclides. However, in practice, most elution generators rely on aluminum oxide as a sorption material, which has a sorption capacity of only several percent by weight of molybdenum. This limits the activity of the generator to only several hundred MBq when natural isotopes of molybdenum are irradiated by a medium neutron flux ranging approximately between 1017 and 1018 n/m2 s. This level of activity is insufficient for medical applications. Known elution generators must therefore rely on either (a) the irradiation of enriched 98 Mo as a target material for a high-intensity neutron flux; or (b) a carrier-free 99 Mo isotope obtained by fission of uranium. These known devices and processes require a large capital investment; high energy and labor costs; a complex series of processing and purification steps involving highly radioactive components; the separation of 99 Mo from uranium fission products, which are about twenty times more active than the useable radionuclide. Thus, for many applications the advantages of known elution generators have been outweighed by the practical and economic disadvantages, and other types of generators have been sought. Methods of 99m Tc production allowing its separation from low specific activity parent 99 Mo are to be used. For example, a sublimation of 99m Tc may be obtained from a suitable 99 Mo compound. Or, 99m Tc products may be extracted from a strongly alkaline aqueous solution of a molybdate of 99 Mo by methylethylketone. These processes permit the production of 99m Tc products of medically sufficient activity from low to medium neutron flux irradiation within the range of about 5�1016 to 5�1017 n/m2 s. However, these chemical methods are substantially more complex, time-consuming, and labor intensive than a common elution generator. They may not be economically and conveniently practiced within a self-contained on-site apparatus. Instead, a centralized manufacturing and processing center will generally supply technetium 99m produced by sublimation or extraction to local hospitals and clinics. Although miniaturized extraction and sublimation generators are available for on-site hospital use, they remain complex and expensive. The technology of known 99m Tc generators is discussed in R. E. Boyd, Recent Developments in Generators of 99m Tc Radiopharmaceutical and Labeled Compounds, IAEA (Vienna: 1973), p. 1-26; R. E. Boyd, Technicium 99m Generators--The Available Options, Int. J. Appl. Rad. & Isot. (New York: 1982), Vol. 33, p. 801-2; and V. J. Molinsku, A Review of 99m Tc Generator Technology, Int. J. Appl. Rad. & Isot. (New York: 1982), Vol. 33, p. 811-19. Other practitioners have sought to improve elution generators by replacing the aluminum oxide sorption material with a sorption matrix. The matrix is intended to recover greater amounts of molybdenum from which 99m Tc can be eluated, thus improving efficiency and yield. J. V. Evans, P. W. Moore, M. S. Shying, & J. M. Soddeau, "A New Generator For 99m Tc," Third World Congress on Nuclear Medicine and Biology, pp. 1592-5 (Paris: 1982). The Evans device uses a sorption matrix of zirconium molybdate obtained from irradiated molybdenum oxide that is dissolved in a lye solution, precipitated by zirconium nitrate, and dried at 105� C. The approximate chemical composition of this sorption material is ZrO2.MoO3.xH2 O, having a molybdenum concentration of approximately 25% by weight. Through a hydration and shaping process, the material achieves elution of 99m Tc from 99 Mo with an efficiency of 70-90%. In experiments performed by the inventors in addition to zirconium molybdate also with titanium molybdate and polymolybdates of both elements containing 10-40% by weight molybdenum (with preferred content 20-30%) elution efficiencies 40-80% have been achieved. In contrary to previous authors (Evans et al) the elution matric was not made from already previously irradiated radioactive material dried at 105� followed by hydration but in our case the elution matrix has been made from completely inactive material and dried at lower temperatures, prior to its activation by neutrons in the reactor. The drying has been performed at 40�-50� C., lasting many hours, in some cases even drying at room temperature (approximately. 20� C.), lasting many days, has been used. The grain size of the matrix material usually has been in the range 50-140 /um. The inactive matrix prepared in such a way has been directly used as target material for the exposure to neutron activation in the reactor prior to elution. It is an object of the invention to overcome or minimize a number of disadvantages of known 99m Tc devices. These disadvantages include: (a) the limited availability of enriched 98 Mo and of reactors with a high neutron flow; (b) the practical and economic difficulties inherent in elution devices based on 99 Mo obtained from fission products; (c) MAAE control and disposal of used fission material and fission byproducts; (d) the risk of radioactive contamination; (e) the complexity and cost of sublimation and extraction processes and devices; (f) transport and delivery problems involving 99m Tc products, activated generators, and fully assembled generators; (g) reliance on a neutron flow exceeding 1018 n/m2 s to achieve elution generator activity above 2 GBq from n, gamma reaction with 99 Mo; and (h) the need for special sterilization procedures. According to the invention, these problems are alleviated or eliminated by an elution generator made of independent component parts. The major component is a main column which serves first as an irradiation ampoule for activation of the target material, and then is adjusted for immediate use as an elution column containing the activated material serving directly as elution matrix. The main column is preferably cylindrical and is provided with a supply means and a discharge means, such as tubes or hoses. It is composed of a corrosion-resistant material that is relatively inert with respect to neutrons, such as aluminum, zirconium, or quartz. The column is filled with target material containing at least 10% molybdenum by weight, so that efficent selective elution of 99m Tc from 99 Mo will result. Powdered or granular molybdates are generally used, such as polymolybdates of zirconium and/or titanium. The particles are held within the column by a porous material that is relatively unaffected by neutrons, such as a porous sinter of silicon or zirconium oxide, graphite, felt, quartz, or an aluminum fiber composite. The porous material allows the elution solution to pass freely. The main column can be hermetically sealed for radiation sterilization during activation by the neutron flow. Before exposure in the reactor, the ends of the column are hermetically sealed, such as by fusing, aluminum packing, or screw-type closures with aluminum packing. In addition, the entire column can be wrapped with aluminum foil to prevent bacterial contamination after removal from the reactor and to provide an aseptic connection with other components of the apparatus. After irradiation, the sealed ends of the column are breached and the supply and discharge tubes are attached in a sterile manner. The opposing ends of the supply and discharge tubes are sealed or plugged, so that the interior of the column is maintained in a sterile condition. The column, together with connecting means, is placed in a container for transportation to the user, preferably of lead or uranium deprived of 235 U. The primary container is placed in another secondary protective container which is hermetically sealed. The other components of the assembled device, also sterilized and protected against contamination, comprise a vessel containing an apyrogenous elution solution, preferably 0.9% NaCl by weight, in sterile connection with the supply tube; a protective column filled with a sorbent, preferably zirconium oxide or aluminum oxide, and connected to the discharge tube; a piercing head with a connecting hose from the discharge tube; and evacuated bottles for the eluate connected to the piercing head. The apparatus also comprises a laboratory screening container and a support base for the assembled components. The apparatus can be delivered assembled or unassembled. Unassembled delivery is preferable, because the main column can then be separately manufactured, processed, and delivered. Table I shows the activity of the new elution generator at different column volumes and different neutron flows, when used with a target material containing 25% molybdenum by weight in a sorption matrix at a bulk weight of 1 g/ml. The activities are related to 99 Mo and to a reference date 72 hours after a prior continuous irradiation for 90 hours. TABLE I______________________________________99 Mo ACTIVITY OF 99m Tc GENERATOR IN GBqneutron flow is in n/m2 s;volume is in ml; dimensions are in cm.

Due to the 10:1 ratio of Zr to Mo by weight, and due to the activating cross sections, the irradiation time, and the lethal time, the main column exhibits 97 Zr activity with a half-life of 17 hours, and which is not more than double the 99 Mo activity at the time of irradiation. At the reference time of 72 hours, 97 Zr activity is roughly 20% of the 99 Mo activity. The column also exhibits a 95 Zr activity having a half-life of 64 days in equilibrium with 95 Nb having a half-life of 35 days, representing roughly 10% the activity of 99 Mo after irradiation and 20% at the reference time. These conditions create no significant or substantial hazards or problems with respect to construction and screening of the generator. When the main column is made of aluminum, the total radioactivity is lower, as only the target material is activated. The half-life of 28 Al is 2.2 minutes, and therefore nuclear-clean aluminum creates no lingering radioactive byproducts from the neutron irradiation, and no column activity remains at the reference time. Column contaminants can be activated by neutron irradiation, and in addition aluminum itself may become activated by fast neutrons via 27 Al/n,alfa/24 Na reaction to natrium (24 Na). Natrium has a half-life of 15 hours. From an irradiation point of view the most preferable column material is quartz, where only very small amounts of 31 Si (half-life=2.6 hours) are activated. Quartz is also chemically inert and is low in contaminants; but quartz columns tend to be fragile. A neutron flux of 1016 n/m2 s corresponds to an irradiation dose of 360 kGy during one hour. All microorganisms and their latent forms are destroyed by irradiation at all doses exceeding 360 kGy. Thus, irradiation for more than one hour in a moderate neutron flow, as disclosed herein, serves the dual even purpose of target sorption material activation and reliable column sterilization. FIGS. 1-3 show three embodiments of the main generator column in longitudinal section. FIG. 4 is an embodiment of the fully assembled apparatus in longitudinal section. The invention is further described with reference to a number of examples. It will be understood by skilled practitioners that these examples are illustrative, and do not limit the scope of the invention or the appended claims. With reference to FIG. 1, the main generator column 1 is cylindrical and has a ratio of diameter to height of 1:3-5. The main column 1 is made of zirconium or aluminum, and has an upper flange 2 and a lower flange 3 of the same material. Each flange is affixed to the column as shown, and each is welded shut at the end opposite the column, to form a hermetic seal. Upper flange 2 is provided with a narrower and slightly conical extension tube 22. The lower flange 3 is threaded and has an extension tube 23. The column is filled with a target material 6, such as zirconium molybdate dried at 50� C. and dispersed in particles ranging in size from 50 to 100 μm (270 to 140 mesh). The target material is sealed within the column by sinter 4, of porous aluminum or zirconium oxide, at the lower end of the main column 1 near flange 3; and by a plug 5 of quartz, aluminum composite, or graphite felt an the upper end of column 1 within flange 2. Prior to irradiation, as discussed above, the entire main column assembly is wrapped in aluminum foil to prevent contamination, particularly of the flanges 2 and 3. After irradiation, the foil is removed from the column assembly under sterile conditions, and the welded ends of flanges 2 and 3 are opened by grinding or filing. The threaded lower flange 3 is then connected to a threaded end-piece 8 into which a seat 7 of silicon rubber is inserted. The end-piece 8 is connected to an L-shaped discharge tube 12. A supply tube 11 is affixed to flange 2. FIG. 2 shows a cylindrical main column 1 made of aluminum or zirconium as in FIG. 1. The column 1 is provided at its lower end with a flange 3. The flange 3 is slightly conical at the interior, where it meets column 1, and contains a discharge tube 24 that terminates with a widened part and a conical internal opening 25. The flange 3 and discharge tube 24 are closed by cap 9 and aluminum foil 21 having no conical recess on the internal side. The column is filled with zirconium molybdate particles 6, which have been dried for several days at room temperature. The particles range in size from 10-150 μm (100-200 mesh). The lower end of column 1 is sealed by a porous sinter 4 of silicon dioxide. The upper end is sealed by plug 5 of graphite felt, beyond which is another cap 9 and foil 21. The column is irradiated according to the invention and is then transferred to a sterile environment. The caps 9 and foil 21 are treated with a disinfecting solution. The column 1 is then connected to sterile supply tube 11 and sterile discharge tube 12 at its opposite ends by piercing the foil 21 at each end, and firmly inserting the respective tube 11 or 12 to achieve a tight fit. FIG. 3 shows a symmetrically closed embodiment. Main column 1 is aluminum or zirconium and has a diameter to height ratio of 1:2-5. Identical threaded flanges 2 and 3 are welded to column 1, flange 2 at the upper end and flange 3 at the lower end. Within each flange are tubes 27 closed by caps 9 packed internally with aluminum foil 21. Target material 6, such as titanium molybdate dried at 40� C. and having a particle size of 70-150 μm (100-200 mesh), is placed within the column. The target material is sealed within the column by plugs 5. After irradiation, caps 9 are removed in a sterile environment and supply tube 11 and discharge tube 12, each with an end-piece 8, are screwed in place. FIG. 4 shows an assembled generator of the invention. The main column 1 with supply and discharge tubes 11 and 12, as described in Examples 1-3 and 6 and as shown in FIGS. 1-3, is placed within a primary transport container 13 made of lead or depleted uranium. The tubes 11 and 12 are placed within openings in the container 13 during transport, and their ends are aseptically sealed against bacterial contamination by plugs and/or wrapping. Container 13 has a cover 14 with a spherical handle 28 to facilitate manipulation of cover 14. The cover 14 is held securely in place by at least two screws, or by some other known method, such as rectangular hoops or friction clamps secured around the container 13. For transportation to the end user, these components are placed in a protective sheet container (not shown). Upon arrival at the use-site, the column 1 and container 13 assembly are removed from the protective container and placed in a laboratory container 15. Lab container 15 is a thick-walled vessel made of lead or depleted uranium. The sealed outer end of supply tube 11 is broken and, without loss of sterility, is connected to vessel 16, which contains a sterile apyrogenous physiological solution. The sealed outer end of discharge tube 12 is broken and, without loss of sterility, is connected to protective column 17, which contains a sorbent, such as hydrated zirconium oxide. The protecting column 17 in turn is connected to the piercing head of evacuated, flanged, and sterilized penicillin-type bottles 18. The bottles 18 are situated in a thin-walled lead container 19. The components are placed within a cylindrical enclosure 20 that is provided with cavities to house them. Enclosure 20 itself fits within a circular recess of lab container 15. Each elution is performed by placing an evacuated bottle 18 on the piercing head. In response, a corresponding volume of solution is sucked from vessel 16, passes in through supply tube 11, through main column 1, out through discharge tube 12, into column 17 and finally into bottle 18. The eluate, having passed through the sorption material 6, contains 99m Tc radionuclides when it reaches bottle 18. When elution is complete, the sterile seal is maintained by placing a non-evacuated bottle 18 over the piercing head. In another embodiment of the invention, the elution generator may be supplied to the user in an assembled version, substantially as shown in FIG. 4. The main column 1 is stored in lab container 15 by the manufacturer and the entire device is shipped to the user. This embodiment requires a stronger connection between enclosure 20 and cover 14, such as a heavy threaded bar. In its simplest embodiment, not illustrated, the main column can be made of a quartz tube narrowed conically at both extremities, containing target material (ie, zirconium molybdate particles 100-150 μm in size; dried at 60� C.), and fused closed. The target material is packed tightly in the narrow ends of the column by quartz wadding. Prior to irradiation, the sealed column is wrapped in aluminum foil. After irradiation, the narrow ends of the column are cut and broken close to each end by a vidium knife or a file. Bacterial infection is prevented by careful flaming of the ends. Supply and discharge hoses, preferably of silicon rubber, are affixed to the ends of the column. The column is shielded by a simple coiled lead sheet within a laboratorium arrangement and is connected to a vessel, such as a birette or a separating funnel, containing the elution solution. In yet another embodiment, the quartz column can be used in a more complex apparatus as shown in Example 4. In operation, the elution generator of the invention, comprising primarily the main generator column, can produce a standard 99m Tc elution of several GBq for a medium intensity neutron flux of 2 to 5�1017 n/m2 s. The columns of the invention are manufactured in a nonactivated state, which makes their manufacture much easier and safer. Later activation of the column also permits a single activation and sterilization step. The apparatus as a whole may be manufactured and delivered as components which are readily interconnected for use. In addition, the main column can be supplied separately, and through and independent delivery chain, whereby it may be activated by irradiation in a local reactor. This is a particularly important consideration in developing countries. Activation of the column itself and its contaminants (if any) is not a problem, nor is safe transport after irradiation, because the "extra" activity is always equal to or less than that of 99 Mo. The invention as a whole is advantageous because it permits the use of a reactor with a medium intensity neutron flux which are more readily available than these which provide the high intensity activation required by conventional generators; it benefits from a simple and elegant design in manufacture, delivery and use; it achieves simultaneous sterilization and activation of the main elution column; and it permits independent delivery of activated and nonactivated components.

The Historic Governor's Mansion in Sacramento CA has some rooms you might not expect to find in a regal looking place. Unfortunately, the drapes match the carpet in here. Blue is one of the colours I can identify rather easily so this must be rather brutal on the eyes of the rest of you. Even more unfortunate is the recliner from a bygone era next to a solid silver coffee and tea service. Even I don't remember these that seemed modeled after formerly futuristic space ship seating. Can you say, "uuuuuuuugg*ly???"*
But finally we come to the TV. Again under a window so someone just LOVES to be blinded while watching during the daytime. This is a slight upgrade from the TV in the other public room but it was still so far behind the times that the Gov wasn't seeing anything as well as his public was seeing.
The entire concept of how this mansion was run for the highest ranking state official in California befuddles me. Why an old TV? Why upgrade the bathroom with a shower and not make a user-friendly bathtub as well? Wait til you see the kitchen. The horrors culminate in one glaring cascade of decorative disaster. LOL!!!
I'm a "scatter-focus" artist. ANYTHING may be here or roundabout my galleries. Expect nothing anywhere and you'll always be OK. ;-)

LOL..I love how you see ~ yes, it's better you don't know the color blue ~ seriously who could live with it?? Should be a decanter of sherry or something to ease the vibrations of the color! Ok, I kinda get the recliner as being a barely there next step to the older chaise lounge ~ but the tv next to the window HAS to be moved ~ !! It would have been fun to have done the tour with you ~ laughing all the way ;):) xx
LOL, the blue is not a bad colour, it's just that there's a lot of it. One is supposed to relax when watching t.v., and it looks like you wouldn't be able to do much else in that chair!!!! One can always close the curtain, but, then again, I don't watch t.v. during the day. I'm enjoying these pics, and the laughs you provide with them – many thanks, Lenny.

Designed to keep a large hunting handgun both comfortable and accessible, Galco's Kodiak Shoulder Holster carries a magnum revolver diagonally across the torso. Using the same principles as modern backpacks, a padded shoulder strap is used in conjunction with a torso strap that allows for instant adjustments throughout a day spent afield. As the torso strap is tightened, weight is shifted off the shoulder strap, allowing for a full day of comfortable field carry. The Kodiak comes assembled and includes holster, shoulder strap and torso strap.

One thing I "hate" about my PC is that I can't really carry it around with me. My Android phone fixes that quite well.
I don't know how old you are, Anonymous Coward, and I don't think you (or hardly anyone else) will read this, and I hate to pull a Back In My Day, but when I was a teenager and "computers" were these things only us nerds had, we used to dream about someday having a whole personal computer that would fit in your pocket. Or, or, small pouch or something. We thought it'd be the size of a pocketbook or something, with a chorded keyboard on a wire. Oh and in our most fevered dreams we thought maybe this mythical device would be connected to a Global Network of some kind that contained the sum total of Human Knowledge.
And now WE HAVE IT. Dude, we may not have got flying cars but we sure as hell got our handheld portable computer. I don't think anyone thought it'd grow out of a friggin PHONE, but I am not complaining.

Bowie Filming Extras With Gervais
Golden Globe-winning comedian Ricky Gervais has filmed an episode for the second series of hit British TV comedy Extras with rock icon David Bowie. The Office creator's character ANDY, who is an aspiring actor, bribes his way into a private members club where Bowie is performing - but he is ejected soon after the Ziggy Stardust icon takes to the stage. Other stars set to appear in Extras include SIR Ian McKellen, who kisses Gervais, Orlando Bloom and HARRY POTTER star Daniel Radcliffe. A show insider tells British newspaper The Sun, "Ricky had dozens of people ask for a part. "But the names he's got are fantastic and Ricky's chuffed to bits. Ricky feels a bit awestruck to be starring alongside such big names, but he's had a ball so far. "He's been really careful to pick the right stars." Madonna was set to cameo but had to pull out because filming clashes with her world tour, and Tom Cruise requested a role but took a rain check when he discovered he was set to become a father.

Friendly staff and nice room adjacent to the small pool with little private garden area for al fresco self catering meals meant Hotel St. Charles amply fulfilled our expectations.
