are the choate tactical and varmit stocks ambidextrous??
Yes. My brother has the Tactical, my dad has two of the Varmints. They make them in left hand too, you have to call and ask Brownells to get you one tho. His take about a week or two to get the south paws. Ask them if it's $___.__ (at the lower price what ever it is, (the dealer price) and they'll let you have it for that too, just over $120 I think. They're a solid platform for sure.
What I actually need is one for a right handed bolt and a left handed shooter. Are the grips the same or do they have a palm swell or cast(on/off)???
Ambidextrious in every way. Palm swell is the same on both sides.
I have two Choate Varmint stocks. One short action on a 22-250 and one long action on the 7mm RUM.
1. They are heavier than expected and might not be suited for a carry gun. This didn't matter for the 7mm RUM though because I epoxied an additional 4 lb of lead shot in the barrel channel and pistol grip.
2. They are very stong, the composite material and full length aluminum bedding block provide a very sturdy structure for mounting an action.
3. The slide and rail that is used to provide a quick detach for a bipod does not mount very securely, being held in place by the force of one screw wedging the slide against the rail. I have stripped the plastic knob off the screw already. Would be better served to drill and tap another screw or two to hold the slide in place in the rail.
4. The threads on the adjustable foot on the back of the stock are not that tight. Took the foot off altogether.
5. The pistol grip is pretty big around and is positioned such that it a works well for people with longer fingers/larger hands.
6. I found that the recoil lug was not contacting the aluminum bedding block sufficently so I bedded the recoil lug and action using steel based Devcon.
7. Choate stocks have something like serrations on the bottom of the fore-end and the bottom of the back of the stock. I found indentions in the sand bag on the front rest where the serrations were on the fore end of the stock. Needless to say that when the gun recoiled the stock did not slide smoothly back.
To fix this I screwed a strip of 1 1/2" wide x ~6" long aluminum to the bottom of the fore-end and to the bottom of the back of the stock to provide a smooth surface so that the stock would slide on the front rest and rear bag better.
I was going to post some pictures of my mods but I found my web server is out of commission right now. I will e-mail pictures of the mods if anyone is interested.
They are great if used with a bipod as long as the slide stays firmly attached in the rail.
They have all worked great without doing anything to them!

A new year is upon us. With it comes the opportunity to start anew and set some goals for better, healthier and more productive living. As a pet owner, the new year also marks a fresh opportunity to include your pet's well-being in your plans.
1. Resolve to engage in more physical activity and exercise with your pet – It may still be cold outside, but even increasing your daily walk by a few minutes will be beneficial to you and your four-legged friend. Play can also happen indoors. Ward off obesity and behavior issues before they become a problem. Games of fetch, play-wrestling or tug-of-war all are ways to keep your pup active and engaged.
2. Resolve to feed your pet a healthier diet –You may think feeding your pet human food is a way to show your love, but much of it can be fatty and unhealthy for your dog or cat. Just as you may be resolving to watch your own waistline, your canine or feline companion requires a diet that is formulated to provide all of the nutrients he or she requires. Do some research and invest in a high-quality kibble, canned food or raw diet plan – and be careful, as supplementing that with unhealthy human scraps is a leading contributor to weight gain.
3. Resolve to provide your pet with regular veterinary care – As pets age much faster than humans, a lot can happen with their health over the course of a year. Preventive pet health care is the best thing you can do to ensure your furry friend lives a long, happy and healthy life. Between visits to your veterinarian, take measures to continue care at home. This includes giving regular baths, grooming and brushing his or her teeth.
4. Resolve to curb bad behaviors – Being lovingly mauled by your pooch when you arrive home was cute for a while, but maybe the bruises are getting a little out of hand. This year, step up your training game and make it part of your pet's regular routine. Reward good behavior and stop passively encouraging the bad.
5. Resolve to be the best pet parent you can be – Odds are you probably already pamper your pet quite a bit. In 2019, look for more ways to be an outstanding owner. Maybe this means finally getting around to microchipping your pet, investing in pet health insurance or starting a savings fund, or introducing an adopted pet brother or sister into your home. You can also endeavor to do things that benefit you and your pet, such as getting him or her a stylish new bed that complements your décor or organizing that overflowing toy bin.

Recipies 101 - Spring is just around the corner, and soon we will be shedding layers off, and revealing more skin. And what went on while hibernating in the winter, will be a little more visible in the warmer weather. To help you get back into more skin-revealing shape, I've created a healthier meal. Before you think, oh no...healthy equates to not that tasty, I've loaded it with flavor that will make your mouth happy.
And because what goes into our bodies should be the best, so I've used Karv Meat's which provides a monthly box service, and is flexible to meet your needs. Every Karv Meals subscription is designed to make life easier—and just a bit more delicious. Their fresh, premium cuts are perfectly trimmed and portioned. At less than $7 per portion for every plan size, eating healthy has never been so convenient.
I used their Chicken Breast for this meal, and honestly one of my favorite things is that Karv trims the extra fat off of their meats before they flash freeze it at it's peak freshness. And their meats are pre-portioned so you can cook how much you want, when you want. Once you choose what you want, the package you chose arrives on your doorstep every month. So all I need to do is choose to cook the meat from it's frozen condition, or thaw it first. Then open the packaging, and place it into the Strawberry-Balsamic Reduction Marinade that I created, and cook it. If you would like to try out what I made, below is the recipe.
Place all of the ingredients into a medium sized pot over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Once you begin to see it smoke, reduce the temperature to simmer, and continue to stir occasionally.
The sauce should thicken and look like a very dark red color, approximately 20 minutes.
Remove pot from heat and allow to cool completely.
Using a mesh strainer, strain most of the liquid into a second pot. Press down to strain as much of the reduction sauce.
Using a cheesecloth, strain the liquid again to remove any additional debris.
Set the Strawberry-Balsamic Reduction Sauce to the side until ready to use.
Place chopped carrots, ginger, shallot, and garlic in a steaming pot and bring to a boil.
Once at a boil, reduce heat to simmer for 20 minutes.
Once cooled off, place inside a blender or food processor and add in salt, pepper, SteampunkyElf Bone Broth, and milk.
Pulse until all ingredients are liquefied into a thick viscosity.
Set the Carrot-Ginger Puree to the side until needed to plate.
Marinate the Karv chicken in the Strawberry-Balsamic Reduction Sauce for at least an hour in an oven-safe glass pan; for best results, prepare the sauce the day before and marinate the Karv chicken overnight, reserving 3 Tablespoons to make the Strawberry Salsa.
Once the oven is at temperature, place the marinated Karv chicken breast uncovered into the oven and set the time for 20 minutes for 1 or 2 Karv chicken breasts.
Approximately 10 minutes prior to the Karv chicken being finished cooking, place the ingredients for the Strawberry Salsa into a saute pan, except for the Feta Cheese which will be reserved until the dish is ready to be plated and served. Stir the Strawberry Salsa over low heat to warm it, then set it to the side for plating.
At the same time, pour the Carrot-Ginger Puree inside a medium sized pot. Heat the Carrot-Ginger Puree, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat. Once it is warmed, remove from heat and set to the side until ready to plate.
Once the Karv chicken has finished cooking, remove from the oven and begin plating.
Taking two spoonfuls (approximately 1/3 cup) of the Carrot-Ginger Puree, spoon it onto the plate.
Place the cooked Karv chicken breast on top of the puree.
Using a separate spoon, add one ladle of the Strawberry Salsa over the Karv chicken.
Sprinkle desired amount of Feta cheese over the Strawberry Salsa.
I know that with Spring just around the corner we are all thinking: bathing suits, shorts, and tank tops OH MY! But you need not worry, there are plenty of healthy and delicious meals that you can make while getting beach-ready. And while this recipe is a little more involved, it is absolutely worth trying out.
You won't need to use all of the Strawberry-Balsamic Marinade in one shot, unless of course you're making a large quantity of chicken breasts. However, the reduction sauce I created is universal; you can use it as a marinade for just about any protein, or you can set some aside and mix it with a nice Olive Oil to use it as a salad dressing. Or if you would like, you can take 1/3 cup of the Strawberry-Balsamic Reduction Sauce and add 1 Tablespoon of Honey to it and use it to dip fruits in, or to drizzle on a dessert or yogurt parfait.
If you would like to enjoy the ease of not having to scour the aisles of grocery stores for quality meats, and instead have them delivered right to your front door, you can click on the link here: https://karvmeals.com or on the highlighted Karv Meals name above.
¹You can substitute any kind of store-bought broth if you wish to skip making my SteampunkyElf Bone Broth recipe from scratch.
²I highly recommend making the Strawberry-Balsamic Reduction Sauce the day before in order to marinate the chicken longer and obtain the best-achieved level of flavor.
³The Carrot-Ginger Puree will yield more than needed for 2 to 4 portions. Since it is condensed, you can use the left-overs by adding extra stock to turn it into a soup for the next day.

Did you know that if you have an existing VA loan, you may be eligible for a lower rate or better long-term financing with a VA IRRRL? This non-conventional refinancing option is an “interest rate reduction refinancing loan,” sometimes also known as a VA streamline refinance. Approval is easy when it comes to VA IRRRL. Let the mortgage professionals at AIM Financial show you what you could save with this government-backed refinancing option. We work with clients in Middleville, Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Sparta, Caledonia, Kentwood, and nearby Michigan. Contact us to get started.
Like original VA loans, VA interest rate reduction refinancing loans are fully funded through private lenders and insured through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Refinancing these non-conventional loans should either lower a borrower’s monthly premium or save money long-term by changing an adjustable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage. We offer 15-to-30-year fixed rate VA IRRRL options.
VA IRRRL loans do not require a home appraisal or credit underwriting process, which results in a faster and more affordable refinancing process than conventional refinance. In many cases, IRRRL may be conducted without no money out of pocket from the borrower. Instead, we can include closing costs within the loan.
While you must obtain a Certificate of Excellence (COE) to originate a VA loan, you do not require a new one for refinancing. This refinancing package uses your existing VA entitlement, which is the amount that the federal government agrees to insure for your home loan.
At AIM Financial, we are proud to serve veterans, servicemembers and their families with home financing. A great rate may be waiting for you with a VA IRRRL loan. If you have purchased a home with a VA loan in Middleville, Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Sparta, Caledonia, Kentwood, and surrounding Michigan, we have the expertise you need. Contact AIM Financial today with any questions.

The Association for Historical Dialogue & Research (AHDR), in partnership with CCMC, CYINDEP, German Cypriot Youth Exchange, Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot Teachers' Platform "United Cyprus"’, KTOS, KTOEOS, Management Centre,NGO Support Centre, Peace Players Cyprus, POST Research Institute, SeeD, Synthesis Centre, Youth Power celebrated International Day of Peace at the Home for Cooperation (H4C) on Sunday, September 22nd. MYCYradio was there as well!
At the event where the activities included launching of AHDR's animation on Rethinking Education in Cyprus, a cycling tour of Nicosia, art activities, mural painting, storytelling for children, backgammon tournament, music by Gommalar, food and exhibition of the work of several Cypriot and international NGOs, MYCYradio broadcasted live. Our Broadcasters Romial Kenmogne and Yoryis Regginos interviewed the public for an hour each, asking them questions about the event and what peace means to them.
You can listen to the recordings of MYCYradio Live Link here!
Enjoy a film under the stars on Thursday 25th July, with popcorn and drinks! The movies made by MakeMedia producers will be shown starting at 19:30.
MakeMedia 2012 was a call for people across the island to create short audio and video productions from their own level of skills. This provided an opportunity for a wide range of people to connect with CCMC and its mandate of amplifying the voice of all communities of Cyprus. Each production contributes to greater understanding of the communities of Cyprus, and includes the cross-cutting theme of peaceful coexistence and/or reconciliation.
"Bridge" - Made By Kyriacos Droussiotis & Sophie Demetriou. A documentary on how Social Media has been used and can be used to create a communication bridge across the divide.
"Structured Dialogue" - Made by the Cyprus Youth Council. Informational animation video aimed at all youth in Cyprus about how structured dialogue works and how they can be involved on a European level.
"One Love" - Made by ACCEPT Cyprus. PSA's about acceptance of the LGBT community and the affects bullying, parents’ attitudes, etc. have on LGBT individuals.
"Lifelong lessons in Cyprus" & "We talk Greek" - Made by Kyriacos Djambazis and film maker Antonis Koursoumpas. Two mini-documentaries about of Turkish Cypriots who are learning Greek.
CCMC and Turkish Cypriot Association of Journalists organise a panel discussion on “Community, Social and Mainstream: The changing nature of media in the Turkish Cypriot Community”, Tuesday 16 July 2013, at 20.00, at the Premises of Turkish Cypriot Association of Journalists in Nicosia.
As the emergence of social media as an alternative source of information, mainstream media has been challenged in regards to its ability to report on a fast pace and reliability of the information given. Indeed, the term ‘journalist’ is now a far more fluid concept, as mainstream journalists have now been joined by citizen journalists as well as professionals from the community media profession. But how can they all co-exist, and more importantly work together for the greatest social benefit within the current media landscape?
The panel speakers, Ulas Baris , Osman Kalfaoglu and Serkan Soyalan, are young and prominent journalists from the TCC, who, at the same time are very successful in aligning their reporting with social media and aligning the two platforms in order to create a more fast, but in the same time reliable information flow to the society.
MEDIANE First Encounter in Cyprus!
The joint European Union (EU)/Council of Europe (CoE) programme MEDIANE – Media in Europe for Diversity Inclusiveness, focuses on the media’s abilities and capacities to include diversities of today’s European societies in the production process as well as in the designing of media content, in particular of news that contributes to inform the public opinion.
CCMC is proud to be the co-organiser of the 1st MEDIANE European Encounter bringing together 90 journalists, editors, journalism trainers, diversity managers, etc. The Encounter will take place in Nicosia from 10 to 12 June 2013 at Chateau Status and will be live-streamed on CCMC's Website!

 CCMC and Turkish Cypriot Association of Journalists organise a panel discussion on “ Community , Social and Mainstream : The changing nature of media in the Turkish Cypriot Community ” , Tuesday 16 July 2013 , at 20.00 , at the Premises of Turkish Cypriot Association of Journalists in Nicosia .
 As the emergence of social media as an alternative source of information , mainstream media has been challenged in regards to its ability to report on a fast pace and reliability of the information given . Indeed , the term ‘ journalist ’ is now a far more fluid concept , as mainstream journalists have now been joined by citizen journalists as well as professionals from the community media profession . But how can they all co - exist , and more importantly work together for the greatest social benefit within the current media landscape ?
 The panel speakers , Ulas Baris , Osman Kalfaoglu and Serkan Soyalan , are young and prominent journalists from the TCC , who , at the same time are very successful in aligning their reporting with social media and aligning the two platforms in order to create a more fast , but in the same time reliable information flow to the society .
 MEDIANE First Encounter in Cyprus !
 The joint European Union ( EU)/Council of Europe ( CoE ) programme MEDIANE – Media in Europe for Diversity Inclusiveness , focuses on the media ’s abilities and capacities to include diversities of today ’s European societies in the production process as well as in the designing of media content , in particular of news that contributes to inform the public opinion .
 CCMC is proud to be the co - organiser of the 1st MEDIANE European Encounter bringing together 90 journalists , editors , journalism trainers , diversity managers , etc . The Encounter will take place in Nicosia from 10 to 12 June 2013 at Chateau Status and will be live - streamed on CCMC 's Website !

Balancing wheels of the vehicle is a matter in modern motorization quite simple, but touching each driver and each vehicle. Even the new car and its shiny new wheels need extra weights that balancing kit. Why is that and what it means for the driver and his vehicle?
Inbalance new tires and wheels is caused usually by inhomogeneity of the material from which they are made. Even the best tyre products and expensive, expensive wheels mounted must be balanced. With a weight wheels constituting a dozen, and sometimes more kilograms imperfections with a mass of a few grams seem negligible.
The problem is that the wheel of a car rotates very quickly. If we assume that its diameter is 40 centimeters, then at a speed of ~ 100 km / h wheel rotates up to ~ 22 times per second. Then it soon becomes clear that even the smallest imbalance is a serious problem. What are the types of wheel imbalance and how they affect the operation of the car?
The first type is static unbalance. It consists in that the axis of rotation of the wheel does not cover with the axis of inertia. This results in periodically variable centrifugal force, which amplitude is dependent on the size of the wheel unbalance. This force acts in the direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation. Even when it is low and the driver is unable to see her, this causes cyclic loading small forces element of suspension and bearings, causing premature wear.
The second kind of inbalance is a dynamic inbalance, which has resulted in the creation of moments of centrifugal forces, that is the forces acting on a specific arm. Dynamic inbalance is caused when the axis of rotation of the wheel cuts the main axis of inertia out of the center of mass. Then become the vibration parallel, and a wheel popularly call a wheel centered. Such loads also affect the additional wear.
But the everyday use of the vehicle is not the world only in black and white, because wheel inbalance is usually a combination of static unbalance, which may be, for example microdamages of tires and the dynamic in the form of soiling the outer part of the rim or her concavity. What are the most common causes of such imperfections of the wheel – tire system?
Besides these heterogeneity we meet primarily exploitationed causes. Vehicle wheels encounter daily and surface defects and omnipresent and from year to year higher curbs. Only outwardly this exploitation no trace on them, because microcracks tires leave their mark on it. The same is true with invisible at first glance damaged rims. But modern cars are getting bigger wheels and more and more low-profile tires. It is more and more difficult to travel all tiring season without a single knocing down wheels on the hole, or scratch the surface of the curb.
Well, that although one reason for the formation of the tire unbalance is becoming more and more rare. In times of popularization of ABS-u more and more rarely to flatten tires as a result of rapid braking with locked wheels. Yes, daily driving is not Formula 1, but once it was frequent and what older drivers remember after such an emergency maneuver, often appear vibrations on the steering wheel.
The easiest way to get to know the unbalance of the front wheels is vibration on the steering. Typically, they appear in a range of speeds, dependent on the inbalance and the frequency of free vibrations of wheel-tire system. When unbalance will cause vibrations at a frequency close to the frequency free vibrations resonance phenomenon arises - further strengthen and their propagation. Inbalance rear wheels usually more difficult to observe, because then the vibration enters all the car and the average driver could hardly finds the cause.
The drivers most often prepared often walk into a trap - those who hide in their homes a second set of tires setted on the rims and often they change themselves. Nothing wrong with that, but the old mantra says that the wheels must balance every 10 000 km - many usually do not want to just go to the vulcanizer. The latter also throw in thier two cents' worth and see a strange look when someone wants to simply balance the wheel.

Are you a new or experienced real estate agent struggling with the decisions regarding your best source of business? Or figuring out how you can get prospects to reach out to you and ask for your assistance? Or when, how and who to ask if they can use your services? How much money to spend? Which marketing "medium" mix is best?
You're not alone! Those are some of the biggest/toughest questions to ask and answer during a real estate career- or any sales career actually. I love tough questions, digging deep looking for answers and knowing full well when everything is right none of that matters- the answers will come when and how I'm supposed to find them.
This week I, along with an agent I was consulting with, stumbled upon an incredibly obvious way to get not only leads but leads intended just for you. When we realized how it worked- and we both conducted our own "experiment", and at the time unknown to the other, we were blown away!
How would you like to receive buyer, seller, investor real estate leads intended just for you? And it doesn't cost one penny! While there's no cost I'll warn you though it will require your attention, focus and sometimes patience. You may be uncomfortable, or very comfortable, with this method. It should have been so obvious to me long ago!
I'll share this "new to me" obvious discovery if you request. It comes at no cost. No obligation to me for anything. All you have to do is ask. I'm finding it hard to contain my excitement with this obvious discovery and look forward to sharing with anyone who asks and using it myself this and every day going forward.

For my notes on how Muraoka’s lexicon compares to other Ancient Greek lexica, see this post: Comparing Lexical Entries.
My copy of Muraoka’s Greek-English Lexicon of the Septuagint (2009) arrived in the mail from Eisenbrauns and I’ve taken some time to post a few pictures of this very beautifully bound book. Next week, when I get back from camping, I’ll post some more detail thoughts on the contents themselves – including comparisons with LEH. I have some of the same concerns that John has, but I think that I might be slightly more positive, though I’m not sure. Its possible simply that John’s criticisms distracted me from his praise. That does happen on occasion with book reviews.
If you’ve visited Amazon, you’ve seen this cover already, I’m sure. The curve of the picture is barrel distortion, not any problem with this beautiful book itself – stupid camera.
But here is the hardback itself without the Dust jacket. Its a very nice hardback, perfectly bound.
And it lies flat very nicely too.
So there’s the book, comments on content are forthcoming.
Now I am jealous. Come on, Mike, you should know better than to cause a brother to covet (or when it comes to books, I haven’t decided whether it is coveting or lust). Though I need an LXX as well. Too many books to buy too little money.
Its a lesson in self-control, right?
Sorry, John, I mean to link to it and forgot.
On paper, in the XXI th century! and why not on papyrus?

The video was shot while waiting on the Queens MOMA shuttle, just around the corner from the entrance to the museum. It was raining, and I noticed how the rain outside combined with rain streaming on the windshield of the bus, with multiple reflective surfaces... it's a trippy/beautiful piece of video! I also shot video inside the diner that is in the picture, and that ended up being a channel in the installation as well. A very fruitful day in Queens! Of the 14 videos that were part of that show, 7 were shot in New York."

If you can do not tell him , I think he would be terrified!So, do get in here! I will be keeping my eye on this game for sure and starting with it since my first impression of this game is excellent, and I am now totally at ease with cute overload games especially if they have as much depth and enjoyment as this one.
Most of us know Maplestory 2 Items CBT has started and as a long-time participant of this first Maple Story, I had been lucky enough to have the opportunity to play with this and also do a first impression. If you liked the original Maple Story you may like Maple Story 2. I’m going to give you a rundown of my ideas and things I discovered from the beta.
Before we continue let me notice, that beta is by no way a representation of the final product. The game tells you in the peak of the display whilst playing. With that said let us discuss, these our initial how to buy Maplestory 2 Mesos.
If you have read some of my posts you will understand there is 1 thing I am passionate about: Character design and creation. Where MS2 differs from MS1 is that character development allows for far more customization for example altering hair lengths and even positions of hair options and facial tattoos. In the area of character customization, we can dye our weapons and outfits. That really is a welcome change.
Speaking of customization, there are a lot of customization options in MS2. Now you can not only make your character look awesome with cash store items or ones found in sport, but you can create your own layouts to wear. As an artist that’s big for me.

I was once asked what I considered an excellent question in an interview. One I managed to screw up completely.
Why do we used standard libraries in place of our own code?
Firstly, this wont work. Secondly, this isn’t what I wrote up on the whiteboard that day. This is just a naff example to give you some kind of context with which I was approaching the question.
Standard libraries have, we assume, been through a rigorous testing procedure to make sure that they conform to the design documents perfectly, and to make sure that there aren’t any bugs. They are also very simple to implement, compared to designing a library yourself and having to teach the entire team how to use it. They save time, money, and improve productivity – assuming that they are the right libraries for the right task to begin with.
I forget what my answer ended up being, but I don’t remember saying much along those lines.
Most of the past few weeks has been taken up with building muscle/working out, watching The Soprano’s (I’ve never seen this before) and folding. Although, I’m implying that I’m the one whose done all the folding.
I’ve instructed my PC to use the spare cycles on 3 out of my 4 cpu cores and my gpu core to help understand the process of protein folding. A lot has been said about protein folding, and most of it can be found on The Wiki. Needless to say, I’m doing my part. I care for a lot of people, and the problems that CAN be linked to improper folding of proteins are huge.
My PC is still running very efficiently. I’ve got to hand it to the guys over at Stanford, they know how to write a really good piece of distributed code. I’m still able to browse the Internet, watch videos, and even play games. Excellent coding guys.
I know that The Soprano’s ended back in [goes to check] 2007, but it takes me a while to get into American TV shows, mainly because there’s that much out there. I don’t want to waste my time and (more importantly) money on something that I’m not going to enjoy. I’ve got to say that I’m enjoying The Soprano’s very much, though. I’ve only just started season 2, but it’s drawn me in already.
Well, that’s this short update done. I’m hoping to get some coding done over the holiday weekend (4 day weekend!!!), and whatever I get done is getting posted on here. Maybe I’ll come up with something interesting. Probably not, though.
