William Alexander "Alex" Chilton (December 28, 1950 – March 17, 2010) was an American songwriter, guitarist, singer and producer best known for his work with the pop-music bands the Box Tops and Big Star. Chilton's early commercial sales success in the 1960s as a teen vocalist for the Box Tops was not repeated in later years with Big Star and in his indie music solo career on small labels, but he did draw a loyal following in the indie and alternative music fields.
Chilton grew up in a musical family; his father, Sidney Chilton, was a jazz musician. A local band recruited the teenager in 1966 as their lead singer after learning of the popularity of his vocal performance at a talent show at Memphis' Central High School; this band was The Devilles, later renamed Box Tops. At a conservative school in a largely conservative city, Alex and his band made a huge impression on the students who attended the talent show. He was different, and his style attractive. The new group recorded with Chips Moman and producer/songwriter Dan Penn at American Sound Studio and Muscle Shoals' FAME Studios.
As lead singer for the Box Tops, Chilton enjoyed at the age of 16 a number-one international hit, "The Letter." The Box Tops went on to have several other major chart hits, including "Cry Like a Baby" (1968) and "Soul Deep" (1969). The group's songs were written by Penn, Moman, Spooner Oldham and other top area songwriters, with Chilton occasionally contributing a song. By late 1969, only Chilton and guitarist Gary Talley remained from the original group, and newer additions replaced the members who had departed. The group decided to disband and pursue independent careers in February 1970.
Chilton then began performing as a solo artist, maintaining a working relationship with Penn for demos. During this period he began learning guitar by studying the styles of guitarists like Stax Records great Steve Cropper, recording his own material in 1970 at Ardent Studios with local musicians like producer Terry Manning and drummer Richard Rosebrough, and producing a few local blues-rock acts. His 1970 recordings and productions from that time frame were released years later in the 1980s and 1990s on albums like Lost Decade (New Rose Records) and 1970 (Ardent Records).
After a period in New York City, during which Chilton worked on his guitar technique and singing style (some of which was believed to have been influenced by a chance meeting with Roger McGuinn at a friend's apartment in New York, when Chilton was impressed with McGuinn's singing and playing), Chilton returned to Memphis in 1971 and joined the power-pop group Big Star, with Chris Bell, recording at engineer John Fry's Ardent Studios. Chilton and Bell co-wrote "In The Street" for Big Star's first album #1 Record, a track later known as the theme song of That '70s Show.
The group's recordings met little commercial success but established Chilton's reputation as a rock singer and songwriter; later alternative music bands like R.E.M. would praise the group as a major influence. During this period he also occasionally recorded with Rosebrough as a group they called The Dolby Fuckers; some of their studio experimentation was included on Big Star's album Radio City, including the recording of "Mod Lang." Rosebrough would occasionally work with Chilton on later recordings, including Big Star's Third album and Chilton's 1975 solo record Bach's Bottom.
Moving back to New York in 1977, Chilton performed as "Alex Chilton and the Cossacks" with a lineup that included Chris Stamey (later of The dB's) and Richard Lloyd of Television at venues like CBGB, releasing an influential solo single, "Bangkok" (b/w a cover of the Seeds' "Can't Seem to Make You Mine"), in 1978. This period learning from the New York CBGB scene marked the beginning of a key change for Chilton's personal musical interests away from multi-layered pop studio recording standards toward a looser, animated punk performance style often recorded in one take and featuring fewer overdubs. There he made the acquaintance of punk band the Cramps. He brought them to Memphis, where he produced the songs that would appear on their Gravest Hits EP and their Songs the Lord Taught Us LP.
In 1979, Chilton released, in a limited edition of 500 copies, an album called Like Flies on Sherbert, produced by Chilton with Jim Dickinson at Phillips Recording and Ardent Studios, which featured his own interpretations of songs by artists as disparate as the Carter Family, Jimmy C. Newman, Ernest Tubb, and KC and the Sunshine Band, along with several originals. While criticized by some as a druggy mess, this album is considered by many to be a lo-fi masterpiece. Sherbert, which included backing work by Memphis musicians including Rosebrough, Memphis drummer Ross Johnson, and Lisa Aldridge, has since been reissued several times.
Beginning in 1979 Chilton also co-founded, played guitar with, and produced some albums for Tav Falco's Panther Burns, which began as an offbeat rock-and-roll group deconstructing blues, country, and rockabilly music.
Chilton moved to New Orleans in the early 1980s, while also touring regularly with Panther Burns and occasionally as a solo artist, as documented in his poorly received 1982 solo release Live in London.
After a six month span of working outside music at tree-trimming and dishwashing jobs in New Orleans, he resumed playing with Panther Burns in 1983. His new association with New Orleans jazz musicians (including bassist René Coman) marked a period in which he began playing guitar in a less raucous style and moved toward a cooler, more restrained approach, as heard in Panther Burns' 1984 Sugar Ditch Revisited album, produced by Jim Dickinson.
Immediately upon completing the recording in mid-1984, Chilton returned his focus to his own solo career. He stopped playing regular gigs with Panther Burns and took with him the group's bassist, Coman. Chilton then formed a trio with Coman and Memphis jazz drummer Doug Garrison. The trio immediately began touring intensely and recording at Ardent Studios, releasing in 1985 an EP, Feudalist Tarts, that featured his versions of songs by Carla Thomas, Slim Harpo, and Willie Tee, and releasing in 1986 No Sex. The latter EP contained three originals, including the extended mood piece, "Wild Kingdom," a song highlighting Coman's jazz-oriented, improvisational bass interplay with Chilton.
During this period, in his recordings Chilton began frequently to use a horn section consisting of Memphis veteran jazz performers Fred Ford, Jim Spake, and Nokie Taylor to imbue the soul-oriented pieces among his repertoire with a postmodern, minimalist jazz feel that distinguished his interpretative approach from that of a simple soul revivalist style. Chilton forged a new direction for his solo work, eschewing effects and blending soul, jazz, country, rockabilly and pop. Coman left Chilton's solo trio at the end of 1986 to pursue other projects, forming (with Garrison) The Iguanas, three years later, with other New Orleans musicians; both would record occasionally with Chilton after departing.
Chilton was featured in the song "Alex Chilton" by American rock band The Replacements on their 1987 album Pleased to Meet Me, on which Chilton was a guest musician.
Touring and recording as a solo artist from the late-1980s through the 1990s with bassist Ron Easley and eventually drummer Richard Dworkin, Chilton gained a reputation for his eclectic taste in cover versions, guitar work, and laconic stage presence.
Chilton included on 1987's High Priest a cover of "Raunchy," his instrumental salute to Sun Records guitarist Sid Manker, a friend of his father from whom he'd once taken a guitar lesson; this song was also a standard in his early Panther Burns repertoire. Along with four upbeat originals, High Priest also included other covers like "Nobody's Fool," a song originally written and recorded in 1973 by his old mentor Dan Penn. His EP Black List contained a cover of Ronny & the Daytonas' "Little GTO," along with an original song, "Guantanamerika." He also produced albums by several artists beginning in the 1980s, including the Detroit group The Gories, occasionally producing Panther Burns albums well into the 1990s.
In the 1990s, Chilton recorded an acoustic solo record of jazz standards in New Orleans' Chez Flames studio with producer Keith Keller, entitled Cliches, and continued with a live CD released in 2004, Live in Anvers.
Since the mid-1990s, he added to his schedule concerts and recordings with the reunited Box Tops and a version of Big Star that included two members of The Posies, Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow. A new Big Star album, entitled In Space, with songs penned by this lineup, was released September 27, 2005, on Rykodisc.
Chilton was present at his home in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina and evacuated on September 4, 2005.
Chilton continued to perform live yearly, with sporadic solo, Box Tops and Big Star shows in theatres and at festivals around the world.
Chilton was taken to the hospital in New Orleans on March 17, 2010, complaining of health problems, and died the same day of a suspected heart attack. He is survived by his wife, Laura, son, Timothy, and sister, Cynthia.[1][2]

Shrimp industry rescuing Colombia's female conflict victims
Every day, 145 women, most of them victims of Colombia's armed conflict, efficiently clean thousands of Pacific white shrimp as partners in an initiative helping to rebuild the social fabric in Tumaco, one of the regions hardest hit by decades of violence.
This is an alliance between the Tumako Fish company and the Association of Women Seeds of Peace (Asmudepaz) to improve the quality of life in this depressed part of southwestern Nariño province via social inclusion efforts.
Tumaco, a city of some 200,000, given its strategic location as a Pacific port near the border with Ecuador, is a territory coveted by different illegal armed groups ranging from guerrillas to drug traffickers, and the violence perpetrated by them has aggravated the situation of a large portion of the population, who live in absolute poverty.
"I think that the majority are displaced women who come from other places and, because of the violence, have settled here in Tumaco, and ultimately this is the main work that they do," Ivani Plaza, one of the Asmudepaz leaders, told EFE while she expertly cleaned one shrimp after another.
Plaza, like the vast majority of women participating in this work, is over age 45 because one of the aims of the program is to provide jobs for people who, because of their age, are out of the labor market, Tumako Fish manager Luis Alberto Rosas said.
"I'm a female head of household. I have three kids. Each day I get up for them and work for them, to get by and so that they can have a better situation than we were able to have," Plaza said, going on to describe how her family fled their home village to get away from paramilitary and guerrilla violence.
Plaza and her fellow workers can earn a living, thanks to the support the Tumako Fish company gets from the Colombia Responde program with USAID financing, and the company doesn't consider them "workers" but rather "partners and clients" who receive 5 percent of the value of the company's sales and up to 30 percent of the net profits.
"Our aim is to create jobs ... and support peace, to be the creators of the seed of peace that we need," said Rosas, who sells all his production on the Colombian market but dreams of exporting if the government will give him a hand in doing so.
Because of the backwardness, poverty and violence in Tumaco, Rosas said that the region is lagging behind the rest of Colombia given that it's "not the same to do business in Bogota, Cali or Medellin as it is in Tumaco."
Because of the contribution Tumako Fish is making to the local economy and to rebuilding the social fabric, Rosas said he felt the government should support the transformation and investment in Tumaco and in the country's Pacific zone in general, one of Colombia's most deficient regions.
"The government can't be deaf to this," he said, given that areas like Tumaco are the very zones where the success of the post-conflict period – after the peace pact between the government and the FARC guerrillas – is in play.

Hyland Named Second Team All-America
Cal Poly senior Sierra Hyland added to her postseason haul Wednesday as she was named second team All-America by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association.
Hyland earned distinction as a utility/pitcher, the lone player from the Big West to earn national honors from the NFCA. She was previously named first team All-West Region as well as first team All-Big West and the Big West Pitcher of the Year.
This season the righty went 24-14 with a 1.10 ERA with 275 strikeouts in 262.0 innings. She also compiled 29 complete games and 12 shutouts while allowing just nine homers all year. Hyland was a strong presence at the plate with a .352 batting average, two homers, 41 RBI, 64 hits, 10 doubles and four triples.
In addition to her fine season, Hyland left her mark all over the Big West career pitching lists. She ranks first in strikeouts (965), tied for first in appearances (161), third in innings pitched (942.2) and tied for sixth in wins (82). She is also the first four-time All-Region honoree in program history and a three-time first team All-Big West choice.

Tom woke me up at 11:30 this morning, 5 minutes before we had to leave so we could get to the Rio for his noon tournament (the $1.5k No Limit Hold 'Em event). So here I am in the press room - unshowered, unshaven, helping myself to the pastry platter since I missed breakfast, the only person with a 5 year old laptop, the only person having trouble typing the letter 'n,' and trying to look respectable doing it. I'm cultivating the eccentric journalist look, hoping that they buy it. Occasionally I'll stand up, stretch, and start doing Tai Chi. People fear what they don't understand. If anyone asks who I am, I'll pretend to be shocked they don't know. If you want an update on the poker action, be sure to check out Tom's blog (the link is on the sidebar).
Monday, July 17, 2006
Another day in Vegas. Blogging from this laptop is harder than you might imagine. The 'n' key is sketchy at best. Today's highlights: using my recently acquired press pass to hang out in the media room (complete with refreshments and pastries) and getting a shot of Hollywood icon James Woods eating popcorn while playing in the $2k No Limit Hold 'Em event, a few tables down from Tom.
Thursday, July 13, 2006
Where to start? I began writing this blog post from the Imperial Ballroom in the Park Plaza in Boston. I'm finishing it from a rental house in Las Vegas. To recap:
This is what happened to my car on July 3rd, less than 24 hours before I was to leave for Boston. I'm not as concerned about the stuff that was stolen as I am about the damage done to the car. Unfortunately, I only have liability coverage on my car insurance, so no help there. I'm really not sure how I'm going to be able to afford to fix it. Maybe I'll play the nickel slots -- daddy needs a new rear windshield.
Rewind to Boston. I attended the Alliance for Community Media national conference as a representative of SPNN. The conference was held at the Park Plaza Hotel in downtown Boston, and I arrived with two teenage girls in tow. RayLynn and Mai Cha were the two youth chosen from the Set It Up crew to attend the conference. In recent years, there has been a drop off in the youth presence at the ACM conference. In the end, the total registration for youth at this year's conference was two: Mai Cha and RayLynn. While the number is certainly disheartening, their impact was felt. By the end of the conference, the two had reached quasi-celebrity status. They not only attended but participated in the conference workshops, asking questions and bringing their unique perspectives to the table.
When thinking back on the conference, the word that keeps popping up is "exhausting." Being the sole adult chaperone, chasing after two teenage girls for sixteen hours a day wore me out. However, it was also unbelievably fun. I had never been to Boston before, and (save for the East Coast attitude and criminally bad driving) the city is fantastic. Our first night, we walked to the river and listened to a live performance by the Boston Pops with special guests Aerosmith, emceed by Dr. Phil (!). This was followed by the most spectacular fireworks display that I have ever witnessed (did you know there are fireworks that explode into wireframe cubes?!).
We walked the Freedom Trail, a red line that twists around downtown Boston (and eventually across the river to Cambridge) and stops at different historical landmarks. We saw the site of the Boston Massacre, the Old South Meeting House where people congregated before the Boston Tea Party, and the graveyard where John Hancock, Paul Revere, and Samuel Adams are buried. We walked around Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market, saw the boats along the Long Wharf, and strolled around Boston Commons. We had fresh octopus in Chinatown, clam chowder at the keynote luncheon, and on our last night in Boston, Mike (the executive director of SPNN) took us out to Legal Seafoods. One of the highlights was the dinner boat cruise aboard the Spirit of Boston, where we spent three hours of a gorgeous day out around the harbor.
Fast forward to today. Current temperature: 102. I arrived yesterday evening, was picked up by Thomas Fuller and whisked away to the Rio. Tom's friend and housemate Pi-master (so named for his interest in mathematics and his affection of pi-themed clothing) was playing in a final table. After a well-fought run, Pi-master was knocked out in third place, netting him $85,904. Needless to say, the experience has been surreal. In the first few hours, I saw Phil Ivey, Doyle Brunson, Howard Lederer, Scotty Nguyen, Joseph Hachem, Gus Hansen, and Phil Hellmuth. I even ran into Simpsons co-creator and Mental Engineering panelist Sam Simon.

The .480 Ruger, in Perspective
By: Glen Fryxell
The story goes that a grizzled old gunfighter of the Old West carried a Colt Single Action Army chambered in .45 Colt "'Cause Sam Colt didn't make a .46!". Well, the Ruger clan decided to go one better and made a .47 for us. In the spring of 2001 Sturm Ruger and Co. unveiled a new proprietary cartridge for their Super Redhawk Revolver. It was a slightly shortened version of the .475 Linebaugh, and was christened the .480 Ruger. A great deal of consternation immediately erupted around this cartridge. Many wondered why Ruger didn't go with a 5-shot cylinder, and others wanted lighter, faster bullets and some wanted a .50 caliber cartridge. Generally, the criticism came down to somebody always wanting more, whether pressure, velocity, or bullet diameter. The American mindset, it seems, is if 27 is good then 37 is better, no matter what the units, context or desired goals. Evaluation of a tool based on its own merits and unique abilities commonly gets overlooked, it's always "how does A compare to B?", which one is bigger, faster, or more powerful? (Never mind how the tenuous issue of "power" might be measured). Just load it to the red-line and go make a lot of noise about it.
There were those that criticized the .480 Ruger as being nothing more than a over-blown, over-priced, over-hyped .44 Magnum since factory ammo delivered a 325 grain bullet at 1325 fps, something .44 Magnums have been doing since SSK introduced their sledgehammer cast bullets back in the 1980s. Arguments were raised that the .480 is of little value since the 454 Casull generates much higher velocities, and hence shoots flatter and hits with more kinetic energy than does the .480. Some wondered why, if Ruger was going to legitimize a new revolver round, why not just go with the known and respected .475 Linebaugh? And some defended the workman-like .45 Colt, which has been delivering a similar level of performance for years in strong, modern guns. Just like Disraeli's view of statistics, it's a question of how you choose to look at the issue. It's a question of perspective.
First, let's look at the gun. The barrel cylinder gap on mine measures between .003" and .004". Factory ammo starts off .502" in diameter and once fired cases come out of my gun at .509", revealing the working tolerances that Ruger has built into the chambers of this revolver. Throats are very uniform and measure .477", well-suited for .476" cast bullets. External cylinder walls are nice and thick at .100", with the locking notches offset so as not to create a weak spot in the chamber. In between the chambers the walls are only .040", clearly revealing that Ruger has worked out some very nifty new metallurgy to make this design work. Specifically, Ruger turned to Custom 465 stainless from Carpenter Technology, a premium-melted, martensitic, age-hardenable alloy, that was originally developed for aerospace components. This alloy, when appropriately heat-treated and peak aged is capable of 260,000 psi ultimate tensile strength, as well as high fracture toughness and excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking. In short, this steel and heat treatment make the .480 Ruger possible in the Super Redhawk frame with a 6-shot cylinder. Continuing our examination of the gun, the grey non-reflective finish, though plain and somewhat homely, is a rugged and highly functional finish for big-game hunting. Let's get one thing straight, aesthetically I think the Super Redhawk is an ugly gun, always have, always will. It has all the grace and lines of a tire iron, but "pretty is as pretty shoots", and this revolver shoots very nicely indeed. After all, a tool should be evaluated based on it's performance, not how shiny and pretty it looks laying in its toolbox. The grips and grip frame are excellent, and distribute recoil very well. The .480 Ruger SRH is fitted with high visibility RR-WO sights. The DA trigger pull is heavy, but smooth (I would guess about 11 lbs). The SA trigger pull is typical for a factory gun at about 4 ˝ lbs, but breaks with reasonable crispness. All in all, a solidly built, accurate sixgun, made with the big-game hunter in mind.
OK, now let's look at the round: the .480 Ruger has a magnum length case of 1.29" (i.e. the same as the .44 , .41 and .357 Magnums), with a nominal diameter of .504". Ruger, Hornady and SAAMI settled on a peak operating pressure of 48,000 psi. Factory ammo is loaded with a 325 grain .475" diameter bullet leaving a 7 ˝" barrel at 1350 fps. At first blush, this bullet might seem a little on the light side for the .475 bore since we're used to thinking in terms of 420-440 grain slugs in the .475 Linebaugh, but keep in mind the standard bullet weight for the .44 is 240 grains, and standard weight for the .45 Colt is 255 grains, so following that progression would lead to a standard weight of 270 grains for the .480. The choice of 325 grains is a compromise weight to keep recoil manageable, while still providing big game capability. A lot of American handgunners have developed a certain level of comfort/mastery with the .44 Magnum, and so Ruger chose to keep factory ammo at roughly the same recoil level.
A lot of the criticism of the .480 Ruger cartridge seems to be aimed at the fact that it's not as powerful as the .475 Linebaugh. It's not, nor was it ever intended to be, nor does it really need to be. I think of this cartridge in a little different light. I view the .480 Ruger as being the .416 Rigby of the revolver world -- a large case, well-suited to moderate pressures, heavy bullets, and moderate velocities; not the absolute maximum that can be squeezed out of a holstered handgun, but rather a highly reliable big-bore sledgehammer. Coupled with 400 grain blunt-nosed bullets, this makes a hunter of the first water. Sure, in strong modern guns the .416 Rigby can be loaded up to modern pressure levels to make a .416 Weatherby, but the .416 Rigby can kill anything on this planet cleanly and it was intentionally loaded to moderate pressures to insure absolute reliability in the heat of the hunt. Likewise, the load data published by Hodgdon indicates that the .480 can be loaded up to a peak pressure of 48,000 psi to drive 405 grain cast bullets at nearly 1350 fps (http://www.hodgdon.com/). But just like the .416 Rigby, the .480 Ruger is a formidable (and reliable) hunting weapon with 400 grain bullets loaded to more moderate pressures (35,000-40,000 psi). The value of moderate pressures for big game hunting loads has not diminished over the years, it's just that we don't hear much about it in this velocity-obsessed age of belted magnum mania.
The importance of bullet weight to penetration was demonstrated by John Linebaugh as a part of his Linebaugh Seminar held in Cody, Wyoming (http://www.sixgunner.com/linebaugh/penetration_test.htm *Editors Note: This link is currently unavailable*, the results can be found here). In a nutshell, Linebaugh's results demonstrated once again that penetration of a non-expanding hard-cast bullet is a primarily a function of bullet momentum, which is the product of velocity times mass. In John Linebaugh's own words, "Velocity is constantly diminishing variable. Bullet weight is constant.", meaning for the hunter, penetration is a function of bullet weight first, and velocity second. This is a very simple and very valuable lesson when hunting large game with a revolver (the hunter of medium sized game, like deer and antelope, is probably better served with expanding bullets). Due to the space constraints imposed by a typical revolver's cylinder and the limited case capacity of revolver rounds, the heaviest bullets that can be effectively used in revolver hunting cartridges runs something like this:
Therefore, in order to keep bullet length short enough to comfortably fit inside a standard length revolver cylinder, and still leave enough room for powder to operate at reasonable pressure levels, it is necessary to go to bullet diameters larger than .45 to get over 400 grains of bullet metal comfortably into a revolver cartridge.
As is apparent from the Linebaugh data, a 400 grain .475" bullet at 1100 fps should provide very similar penetration to the heaviest 454 Casull load (360 grains), and considerably more than the popular high velocity 300 grain 454 Casull loads. Weight (more accurately momentum) contributes penetration depth, while the nature of the wound channel is a function of the meplat. The LBT .475 400 WFN, RCBS 475 400 grain SWC, Lee 475 400 grain FP, and NEI 475 TC (a shortened version of #357 with only 2 grease grooves, very reminiscent of the SSK designs), mould designs all combine these attributes very effectively.
Hodgdon's loading data for the .480 Ruger (http://www.hodgdon.com) indicates that 405 grain cast bullets can achieve velocities in excess of 1300 fps from a 7 1/2" SRH and still stay within SAAMI pressure guidelines. I believe that the test gun used by Hodgdon was a "fast gun" as I haven't been able to reproduce their velocities with any given powder charge. Discussions with Taffin and several other .480 shooters suggest that my revolver is typical, and falls in line with their experiences. Load From a Disc calculations suggest that a 400 grain bullet at 1100 fps corresponds to a peak pressure of about 35,000 psi when paired with an "ideal" powder, and is in agreement that a 325 grain at 1325 fps corresponds to Hodgdon's measured peak pressure. Thus, I chose to target 400 grain cast bullets at 1100 fps for routine use in the .480 Ruger. In my gun, factory ammo provides case expansion of .509" and somewhat sticky extraction, the 1100 fps loads listed below give .508" case expansion (or less) and eject effortlessly, providing some element of corroboration to the theoretical predictions.
I started out by sighting the Super Redhawk in with Hornady factory ammo. Accuracy was good and the velocities were right up to the advertised numbers. Temperatures were in the upper 90s and extraction was sticky, as might be expected for 48,000 psi loads with .007" chamber clearances. After the sights were lined up, the remainder of the factory stuff was burned up in a geomorphologic fracture analysis on the native basalt phases of eastern Washington. Let me tell you what, the .480 Ruger is a rock-buster extraordinaire! Several chunks of basalt the size of a big Idaho spud simply vanished in a cloud of dust. Larger pieces didn't stay that way long. Good stuff!
Bullets were cast from WW alloy with 2% added tin, they were air-cooled for a hardness of about 11-12 BHN. These bullets were all around 400 grains as cast (ranging from 392 to 409 grains depending on design). They were sized .476" and lubed with homemade moly lube (1:1 moly grease and beeswax). Accuracy tests were also performed using bullets that were water-quenched with this same alloy (BHN 16-18), but there was no advantage gained by doing this and so water quenching was dropped. No problems with leading were encountered with any of the loads tested.
Load evaluation started off with the LBT 400 grain WFN over 20.0 grains of IMR 4227 and a CCI 350 primer. Recoil was surprisingly mild and accuracy was good. Somewhat surprisingly, this load shot to the same point of impact as the 325 grain factory ammo at 25 yards. It was also quite flat shooting, hitting point of aim at approximately 125 yards when sighted in for 25. Velocity was just under 1000 fps. Loads were worked up from there, monitoring case expansion and extraction. Extraction was effortless with all loads listed. Most of the loads listed below delivered 5-shot groups in the 1 1/2" to 2" range at 25 yards.
Loading data for the .480 Ruger
Winchester 296 turned in its usual stellar performance, as did its cousin H110. IMR 4227 is also an excellent powder for the .480 Ruger. AA 1680 turned in a surprisingly poor performance. I expected AA 1680 would be nearly ideal when paired with 400 grain bullets, but for whatever reason this wasn't the case. As charges were increased, velocities came up to about 1000 fps and then leveled off. Accuracy was generally marginal, until charges reached about 25.0 grains (where groups tightened considerably), but then velocities started going back down. The most accurate load tested was the Lee FP over 21.0 grains of Winchester 296, and for these 400 grain cast bullets in general, 21.0 grains of W296 was the most accurate powder charge.
For those who don't cast their own, both the Lee and RCBS 400 grain cast bullets are available from Western Bullet Co (http://missoula.bigsky.net/western). Other cast bullets suitable for the .480 Ruger are also available from Beartooth Bullets (http://beartoothbullets.com/index.htm), Cast Performance Bullet Co. (http://www.castperformance.com), Hunters Supply (http://www.hunters-supply.com), Liberty Shooting Supplies (http://www.libertyshootingsupplies.com) and TrueShot Bullets from Oregon Trail Bullet Co. (http://www.trueshotbullets.com/bullets.html).
I took the LBT 400 grain WFN load elk hunting in the high country of central Utah. The tag in my pocket allowed me to take a spike bull. We were camped out on the flats at about 6,500 feet elevation, and climbed up to about 10,000 feet to hunt -- first half with the trucks, second half with our legs. I got "up close and personal" with elk on the second day of the hunt. I had worked my way to the edge of some heavy timber overlooking a bowl that was lined with the brilliant yellows and whites of an aspen thicket. A herd of about 25 elk busted noisily out of the thick stuff above me and to my right, slowed to a walk upon entering the bowl, and walked single file in front of me, at about 25 yards; an absolute textbook opportunity for a hunter with an iron-sighted revolver! The only problem was, there wasn't a single antler in the entire bunch! All cows and calves. The only spike we saw came two days later when he did a remarkable impersonation of an antelope, sprinting full-tilt with a herd of about a dozen cows or so, a half mile out across the sage flats, heading towards a really nasty bunch of virtually inaccessible canyons. We found elk every day, it's just that everything else we saw were either branch-antlered bulls, cows or calves. That's why they call it "hunting".
Loaded with 400 grain bullets at 1100 fps and 35,000 PSI, the .480 Ruger can provide all of the penetration that a handgun hunter is likely to ever need, and in fact it can match or surpass the optimum heavyweight performance of the vaunted 454 Casull. This hardly qualifies the .480 Ruger as "just another .44 Mag". However, just because SAAMI decided on a 48,000 PSI ceiling doesn't mean I have to spend my time dangling from it, especially not with cylinder walls that are only .040" thick (even if they are some golly-gee-whiz-bang new alloy). For non-dangerous game applications, there is no need for the .480 Ruger to be loaded to 48,000 PSI, it just needs to be loaded with the right bullet to deliver all that it is capable of. A 400 grain flat-pointed cast bullet is just such a bullet, and the four bullets tested herein will all serve admirably. No, recoil is no longer in the .44 Magnum class, but it's far from punishing. Penetration does not come without recoil. If this maxim offends your sensibilities, get over it.
To my way of thinking, THIS is the niche for the .480 Ruger -- a mass-production revolver that provides superior penetration, similar to the custom revolver heavy hitters (like the .475 Linebaugh) at moderate pressures, with bullet weights that the .44 Magnum and 454 Casull simply cannot handle. While it's understandable why the factory chose a 325 grain bullet, it is noteworthy that the component manufacturers (Hornady, Speer, RCBS, Lee, etc.) quickly tooled up to provide 400 grain bullets for .480 shooters. That the factories have chosen to limit .480 Ruger factory ammo with a 325 grain bullet concerns me not in the least, as I probably won't hunt with factory ammo in this gun. Not that there's one thing wrong with the factory offering, it's fine ammo, it's just that if I want to hunt with 325 grain bullets, I'm more likely to grab a .44 or a .45. My interest in the .480 centers around heavier bullets. This revolver was destined to shoot 400 grain cast bullet handloads from the very beginning. Just as the .44 Magnum has been described as being the .30-06 of the handgun world, so the .480 Ruger finds its niche as the .416 Rigby of the revolver world.

I will try to remember all of them to share in this post.
My Girl's rugby team came second in the Champion of Champions.
My team came third in our A Grade Netball competition played every week after school on Tuesdays.
We came 4th in our first ever Hip Hop competition.
My team came first in our interzone Rippa Rugby Competition.
And when our team won the Grand Final of the Auckland School Girls' Rugby Competition on Eden Park, I decided it was time to write a post about it!
After a long term of training it all came to an end with the Grand Finals being held at Eden Park.
There were six schools competing and we had to make it through to the final round.
We played against Viscount girls' team, who we had beaten in the first round, but we were feeling nervous.
In the first minute or so Viscount scored the first try. But that didn't stop us from winning.
If you look at the final score - 35 to 15, you can see that NOTHING could have stopped us.
It was a great day!

Confessing Our Sins Series
Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 31, 2009 (message contributor)
Summary: Before approaching communion, we are admonished to be in right relation with God and the Church; this is accomplished through Reconciliation.
Feast of the Purification/Presentation
February 2, 2009
Sacramentum Caritatis
St. Luke must have had a terrific sense of humor, history and irony. He also knew his Bible–especially the prophets like Malachi. The picture here in Malachi is apocalyptic. The Lord visits His temple and purifies the money offerings with fire and the wool offerings with caustic lye. For Malachi, the Lord is purifying the levitical priests, not everyone. Luke turns the prophecy on its head but at the same time brings out its inner meaning: when the baby Jesus visits the Temple in the arms of His mother, the prophet Simeon appears. But Simeon proclaims a purification, a salvation, of the whole world, even the despised Gentiles. And the pain and suffering of that purification will be visited on Jesus and Mary, the sinless ones.
In this light, let's consider what the Holy Father tells us about the Eucharist and the Sacrament of Reconciliation. If we are to understand what Jesus does here to us in Eucharist, we must hear the call to pursue the path of penance. Our culture tries in many ways to eliminate any sense of sin in us. Even some Catholics promote a superficial approach that overlooks our need to be in the state of grace when we come to communion. When we lose our understanding of the seriousness and reality of sin, we will be superficial in our understanding of God's love. Sin is so serious that its remission caused the death of God's Son. When I sin, I cause damage inside me and all around me. That's why mortal sin must always be confessed to a priest and absolved sacramentally. Sin is never a purely individual affair, "it always damages the [communion with the Church] that we have entered through Baptism." For this reason, the Fathers emphasize that the process of conversion, which we first consummated in Baptism, must when we sin subsequent to Baptism be effected in confession and absolution, and then a return to the Eucharist and full communion with the Church.
As a result, the Synod on the Eucharist told the bishops that they have a duty to encourage frequent confession, and called on all priests to "dedicate themselves with generosity, commitment and competency to administering the sacrament of Reconciliation," specifically reminding them that general absolution is given only in emergencies. We can thank our priests for the hours they devote to providing this essential pastoral ministry, and pray for more priests so that we are never deprived of the healing touch of Christ on our souls.

Candidates Come Out Swinging
Tue, 08 May 2012 04:03:09 GMT —
The seats of the Edinburg Conference Center at Renaissance were filled with people ready to meet the candidates for upcoming elections in person and introduce themselves as they debated issues affecting local government and hidalgo county community.I think we should legalize marijuana, said Jane Cross.
That was just one of several controversial stances taken by Democrat Cross at Monday TMs Campaign 2012 politcal forum. I TMve never seen anyone that was high speed into anything, said Jane Cross.
They usually just sit there on their couch and don TMt bother anyone. They are not very productive but they don TMt hurt anybody.
Cross, running for US House District 15, stood her ground in Edinburg, and her comments stirred one of the liveliest debates of the night.
I really think that the Dream Act has its merits, said Cross.
I don TMt think we should give a blanket citizenship to everyone but the kids that came here and have gone through our schools and want to go to our colleges, I really think the Dream Act is for them.
Cross wasn't the only candidate making bold statements, Republican Rebecca Cervera came out swinging during her opening remarks.
It TMs no secret that we are not as safe as we used to be, and that we are not as safe as the current administration wants to pretend we are, said Cervera.
My business is situated on the Pharr border and I see the insecurity that supposedly is not taking place every day.
Incumbent Ruben Hinojosa defended the Obama Administration and The Dream Act while staking his claim for re-election.
We have one and a half million people and that TMs increased the federal funding, the state funding that is coming to this area, said Congressman Hinojosa.
That TMs why our schools have grown so much, our colleges have grown so much. It is a sign that what we need is a comprehensive immigration reform that will get them documented so that they can add to the prosperity of our country.
In response, the other candidates for US District 15 made their case for new representation in Washington.
The Veteran TMs Affairs needs to have some accountability at top, which congress by the way is the overseer of that accountability said Dale Brueggemann.
Yet I believe congress has failed to do that.
If you are talking about Obamacare, I believe that is going to help bankrupt this country and cause more people to be unemployed, said Jim Kuiken.
I am big supporter of the Dream Act, said David Cantu.
It TMs an opportunity for these children that have been educated in our country and were brought here by no fault of their own.
Also taking the stage, the four candidates vying for State House District 40, the seat currently held by Republican Aaron Pea, who isn't running for re-election.
All four democrats agreed Texas needs more focus on education.
What I would do with the rainy day fund is definitely invest it in education, said Terry Canales.
To reinvest it back into the programs that were cut, education being the priority, said T.C. Betancourt.
We need to invest in our educational system since that is where our future lies, said Gus Hernandez.
As a member of the Edinburg School Board, I saw exactly where the education money cuts hit us in our district, said Robert Pea.
The mayor of Edinburg says that issue should be utmost in voters TM minds.
We have a responsibility at some point to lead and sometimes follow, said Richard H. Garcia.
We can lead by voting. That TMs our responsibility. We have to ask the right questions and after people are elected see that they TMve followed through with what they said.
To let your voice be heard make sure you head to the polls May 29th for Texas State Primary voting. Another political forum will be held at the Marine Military Academy in Harlingen with the goal of not only attracting Cameron County voters but surrounding communities as well.
That forum will be held Wednesday live on Action 4 News at 5 p.m. and 6 p.m Follow Astrid on twitter @astridkgbt

Premier League: Joe Hart set to sign new Manchester City deal
Manchester City plan to reward keeper Joe Hart and a number of team-mates with new contracts this summer.
By James Cooper
Last Updated: 17/05/14 6:08pm
Hart, whose current deal has two years remaining, helped City win a second Premier League title in three seasons last weekend, responding well to being left out of the first team following a series of high profile errors earlier in the season.
The club is also expected to step-up the search for a new back-up to Hart, with his deputy Costel Pantilimon set to leave the club this summer as he seeks regular first-team football.
Romania international Pantilimon proved his worth to City this season with 18 first team appearances but he is set to leave and Sky sources understand their key target to replace him is Argentinian Willy Caballero, who played under Manuel Pelligrini at Malaga.
The champions are aiming to do their transfer business this summer as quickly as possible and hope to secure their targets prior to the World Cup, and they are poised to offer new contracts to several of the star performers who helped secure two domestic trophies.
England midfielder James Milner will be offered terms to extend his four-year stay at City and Samir Nasri, who scored a vital goal in the final day win over West Ham United but was left out of the French World Cup squad, is also expected to commit his future to the club.
Striker Edin Dzeko is another whose future with the club could be sorted - he hit five goals in his last four appearances of the season to take his overall tally to 28 - and there is also expected to be a new contract for the versatile Aleksandar Kolarov.

Thanks to our friends over at Radio Archives for giving us the heads up on this exciting literary crossover that pulp fans have been discussing for eight decades…Doc Savage and King Kong…both are celebrating their 80th Anniversary this year and what better way to mark that occasion than a new Doc Savage novel by none other than Will Murray that finds the two icons in what will surely be a magnificent pulp tale? Through this upcoming novel we will learn an untold tale of how Doc Savage crossed paths with Kong back in the 1920.
From Will Murray: "For eight decades, fans of both characters have tried to imagine a face-off between Doc Savage, the Man of Bronze, and King Kong, the Eighth Wonder of the World. These legendary characters debuted only weeks apart in the Winter of 1933. Now, I am privileged to have written the previously untold tale of what happened after King Kong fell from the Empire State Building, which just happened to be Doc Savage's headquarters! Don't miss this latest and greatest Wild Adventure of Doc Savage—Skull Island!"
From the Radio Archives Press Release:
" Eighty years ago in February, 1933 the Street & Smith company released the first issue of Doc Savage Magazine, introducing one of the most popular and influential pulp superheroes ever to hit the American scene. Doc Savage was the greatest adventurer and scientist of his era, and while his magazine ended in 1949, he influenced the creators of Superman, Batman, Star Trek, The Man from UNCLE and the Marvel Universe—to name only a few.
While that first issue of Doc Savage was fresh on Depression newsstands, RKO Radio Pictures released one of the most important fantasy films of all time. Everyone knows the story of how King Kong was discovered on Skull Island and hauled back to New York in chains, only to perish tragically atop the world's tallest skyscraper, the Empire State Building.
As it happened, that was where Doc Savage had his world headquarters. For decades, fans have wondered: Where was Doc the day Kong fell?
On the eightieth anniversary of these fictional giants, Altus Press is proud to release the first authorized clash between The Man of Bronze and the Eighth Wonder of the World—Doc Savage: Skull Island. Written by Will Murray in collaboration with Joe DeVito, creator of KONG: King of Skull Island, Doc Savage: Skull Island is a new pulp epic.
The story opens when Doc returns from his secret retreat in the North Pole to discover the cold corpse of Kong lying on his doorstep.
"I know this creature," Doc tells his dumbfounded men.
Tasked to dispose of the remains, the Man of Bronze then relates the untold story of his epic encounter with Kong back in 1920, after Doc returns from service in World War I, long before Kong became known to the civilized world as "King" Kong.
Doc Savage: Skull Island is a multi-generational story in which Doc and his father—the man who placed him in the hands of scientists who made him into a superman—sail to the Indian Ocean in search of Doc's grandfather, the legendary Stormalong Savage, whose famous clipper ship has been discovered floating, deserted, her masts snapped by some incredible force.
The quest for Stormalong Savage leads to the fog-shrouded Indian Ocean and—Skull Island! There, Doc Savage faces his first great test as he encounters its prehistoric dangers and tangles with the towering, unstoppable Kong.
"When Joe DeVito brought this idea to me," says Will Murray, "I knew it had to be written with reverence for both of these immortal characters. So I used the locale of Skull Island to tell a larger story, an untold origin for Doc Savage. It all started back on Skull Island…."
"Pulling off the first ever face-off between Doc Savage and King Kong was both challenging and exhilarating," adds DeVito. "Will's unique take on the tale scatters the primordial mists surrounding Skull Island long enough to reveal secrets of both classic characters hidden since their creation."
Doc Savage: Skull Island has already been hailed as "The Doc Savage novel that Doc fans have been waiting on for 80 years!"
Doc Savage: Skull Island will be released in March, as the fifth entry in Altus Press' popular Wild Adventures of Doc Savage series."
You can head over to Radio Archives and pre order your copy right this minute. As soon as I get my hands on this book I'll be sure to post a review!

In case you needed a reminder that alcohol can be dangerous, this Doomed Crystal Skull Shot Glass by Fred and Friends should do the trick nicely.
The Doomed Crystal Skull Shot Glass is designed like a traditional double-wall shot glass, but instead the inner wall of the shot glass is designed like a skull. The inner skull holds 2.5 ounces of your favorite alcohol and "inhabits the inner skull" with your chosen beverage. The Doomed Crystal Skull Shot Glass is made from "hand blown crystal clear borosilicate glass," according to the site, and will complement any drinks nicely, alcoholic or otherwise.
Some ancient tribal cultures have been known to drink out of the skulls of their enemies. Unfortunately, we're forced to live in a civilized polite society, making the Doome Crystal Skull Shot Glass the next best thing.

I have spent a lot of time in January working on one of my Unfinished quilts. I finished this top in June last year but haven't been able to motivate myself to quilt it. I had this Amy Butler print picked out months ago for the backing.
I decided to outline each ampler block 1/4 inch from the seamline and then outline some of the shapes in the quilt also a 1/4 from the seam line.
This makes for very slow quilting, lots of turning and starting and finished and pulling threads through. But the quilting is finished and the binding (purple and green fabric below) is ready to attach. Hopefully my first finish of 2011 is not too far away.
I can't wait for Spring if only so I can take better photos of my quilts - any tips?

Spotted by the fine folks over at Vooks, the above drawing, seen in JB Hi-Fi just perfectly illustrates one of the biggest challenges Nintendo has with the perennially struggling Wii U: the mainstream audience that adored the Wii simply doesn't know that the Wii U exists. And, if they are aware of its existence, they find it difficult to tell the difference between the two.
This drawing didn't go up in accident. It's clearly gone up in response to numerous consumers who have either gone up with Wii U games thinking they were for the Wii or vice versa. This is clearly an issue that retailers have to deal with on a daily basis.
For us, yeah, it's pretty hilarious that JB requires a sign to make the distinction. But for Nintendo? It's a problem that they need to deal with pretty quickly if the console is to gain traction.

The Dollop
History buff and comedian Dave Anthony was considering starting a new podcast in 2014. His idea was to write up an unknown story from American history and read it to a different comedian each week. Having not heard of the story before, Dave hoped the comedian's reaction would be hilarious. He gave it a go and his first guest was comedian Gareth Reynolds. They immediately clicked and fans flooded social media telling Dave to never change the co-host. And he didn't.
Sticking to the formula of Dave reading Gareth a story he has never heard, The Dollop quickly shot up the charts. Fans of both comedy and history were drawn to the wild stories and quick improv skills of Gareth. With millions of downloads, The Dollop has become a regular presence on top of the podcast charts, as well as selling out shows in both the US and Australia.

I love those times when you have a weirdly ridiculous experience with a stranger. Either they try to share some kind of inappropriate story with you (I do not appreciate birth stories in the middle of the freezer aisle) or ask you for something off the wall.
Yesterday, I was at Hancocks. It was a delicious day at the fabric store because my husband had come home early from work and I was toddler free with a tall, one-pump, Starbucks pumpkin spice latte in my hand. I was browsing patterns and buttons then made my way over to the trims. I was "minding my own" when I heard a poor man (clearly sent to the store by his wife) painfully describing "You know, those little hooks like on a bra clasp" to an employee. He had no other words to describe them and had to keep saying "bra clasp" over and over, but the employee had no idea what he was talking about and finally said "We don't have anything like that here." Well, for one thing, they probably do have actual bra clasps, and for the other, I know for a fact they had hook and eyes which is what he was trying to describe. He passed behind me and I said, "I think you mean 'hook and eyes,'" the poor man's face lit up and he was so relieved to have alternate vocabulary with which to describe a product he didn't fully understand. Anyway, he went on his merry way and found what he needed (by the way, this is not the weird experience). So I continued browsing trims and gradually made my way to the table of seersucker on sale ($2.95 a yard!!)
I was absorbed in my sale fabrics when a little older lady, who had been browsing trims near me and probably heard my exchange with "bra clasp man," approached me and asked what I thought of two different pieces of gold, sequin covered elastic. She had a small piece and was trying to match it with what was there. I said, "Well, one is gold and one is colored" (it was kind of irridescent with many different colors plus a little gold). So I thought maybe she just couldn't see very well or couldn't reach the trims (she was about 4 feet tall or slightly less, no exaggeration). I pulled out a roll of the same thing she was holding and started to leave, then she began to describe exactly what it was for. The tale she told me involved a cruise she's going to be taking, a gold dress she will be wearing and a navy blue beanie that she intends to cover with this gold, sequin elastic. I'm "Mmm, Hmm'ing" politely and backing away when she asks, "Could you help me wrap this around my head so that I can see how much I will need?" No kidding, she stood there and had me wrap about 3 yards of stretchy sequins around her head in rows with zero compunction. She was really friendly and it was no trouble, but it completely cracked me up. What a thing to ask of a stranger! It was also sort of oddly personal to be putting things on someone else's head.
Anyway! I came away with a funny experience and more fabric than I intended to buy, but what do you do?!

Sketches of Frank Gehry (2006)
Critic Consensus: This affectionate, casually framed portrait of the acclaimed architect reveals him to be an engaging, likeable subject.

Critic Reviews for Sketches of Frank Gehry
All Critics (78) | Top Critics (30) | Fresh (64) | Rotten (14) | DVD (2)
Pollack's documentary is a friendly affair that presents some stunning footage of several Gehry projects.
A refreshingly small-scale film, almost a home movie made by the director of such films as Tootsie, Out of Africa and The Way We Were.
Not just instructive, but reassuring for anyone who does creative work, and who worries, as everyone does, about being equal to the task.
What the filmmaker omits are precisely the laymen the movie set out to explain Gehry to.
What benefits the picture early on, giving it a casual air, becomes cloying in the later going, making it feel like a smug exercise in mutual admiration.
Audience Reviews for Sketches of Frank Gehry
How to analyze a documentary? What to take into consideration? When most documentaries follow the same structure and format, and considering that the main objective was reached, the subject ends up being the determinant. At least, for me. Frank Gehry is a Canadian architect who acquired both critical acclaim and popular recognition with unlike buildings that cross the lines between architecture and art, functionality and free creation. If you are not familiar with his work, I would say it reminds me of Franz Kakfa, the German Expressonism and Futurism (google Umberto Boccioni and Carlo Carrà and compare their work to the Gehry´s). His expressionist postmodern architecture, I must say, doesn´t really appeal to me, although I realized that more than the shape, what makes big impact on me is the material. Having what I would call a conservative taste, I feel attracted to brick and stonework when steel, glass and metal keep me away. I like the MARTa Herford Museum, in Germany, that was clad in brick and stainless steel, as also the Dancing House, in Prague, but the Novartis Building (Switzerland), the Experience Music Project (Seattle) and the Walt Disney Concert Hall (LA) can call the attention of the eyes, but not of my heart: I don´t feel the impulse to explore such places. Bringing it to the cinema, it´s like Monsieur Hulot´s house versus Arpel family´s house. The futuristic house from Jacques Tati´s film Mon Oncle is very formal and static (geometric) to could have been built by Gehry, but we can say it has some similar characteristcs: the fish-shaped fountain, for example, even though Gehry would make it much bigger. In the other hand, even being an ancient building, Monsieur Hulot´s "house" has a sort of chaos and movement that would attract Gehry and which charm and personality definitely attracts me. What I most like about Gehry´s work is the whole process of creation, the "giving form" more than the form itself. Instead of the final product, I choose his sketches and mock-ups. The whole process is exciting and Sydney Pollack portraits it quite well what makes me wonder how to rate this documentary. Gehry´s work is interesting, but can this film please those who are not interested in architecture? I am not sure.

I met Sydney Pollack when he came to New Orleans to introduce and discuss this film. I actually worked at the mall where the cinema was, and I couldn't work up the nerve to say anything at the screening, but the next morning he came into my workplace and I got a tete-a-tete with someone who was very much an academic guide for film theory and history on top of being a brilliant director (with great taste in what colors to wear). Anyways, this film. Yes. If you don't know Frank Gehry, just think of the oddest building you've ever seen and chances are it is or is derivative of Frank Gehry. For a reference point, Gehry did Bilbao Guggenheim and Seattle's Experience Music Project. Pollack and Gehry have long been friends, and the documentary was filmed as an independent project of Pollack's over the course of a few years and many meetings with his friend Gehry. The two talk of art, design, inspiration, and everyday stuff. Gehry explains his process as an architect. Pollack captures some stunning shots of Gehry's work for just using a handheld diigital. If you like to see a brilliant (and some will say odd) artist revealing the guts and marrow of his profession, this is the film for you.

Oh dear. Would could have been a fascinating insight into architectural design turns out to be a load of sentimental hero-worshipping clap-trap! A slide-show would have taught me more about Frank Gehry's work!

Hello again!
So, profits for May and June.
Well - my total sales for May for the Computer and IT Quiz Pro app are:
...not too bad.
So, I am doubling the effort I am putting into the app now. It has had many changes made to it, but there is still plenty of work for me to carry out to make it the best it can possibly be.
You may be thinking that I am now spending too much time on the app, and that it's time to move on, but working on this app is teaching me a lot and my skills are growing. I have also proved that it can make a reasonable amount of money, and I would like it if I could boost this apps profits to $50 per month.
June's profits will be listed very soon, but Google hasn't finalised the spreadsheet yet, so I'll post that when it's ready.
Thanks again for reading,
