He worked in mining but the love of his life's work was spent as a rancher. He married Mary Alice Albrechtsen on Aug 11, 1947 in the Salt Lake Temple. He has been an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was also a former mayor and post master of Orangeville. He loved farming and gardening and was able to make anything grow and he loved to share the fruits of his labors with others.
He had a wonderful sense of humor that made everyone he met an instant friend. Jack was especially happy when he was gathered around the dinner table with all his family. His family was his pride and joy and he always showed an unconditional love for them all.
Mary was always his first and most special love. If you needed Jack, you could always look on the farm. He was the one who was always wearing his hat. He enjoyed being a regular at the Food Ranch too. He loved great, and great was the love that was returned to him.
He is survived by his wife of 62 years Mary Alice Curtis: also his children, Teresa (Ray) Jeffs, Gary (Kelli) Curtis, Curt Curtis all of Orangeville, and Leann (Rick) Snow of Castle Dale. He is also survived by nine grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren and his siblings George (Edel) Curtis of American Fork, Joyce Curtis of Ogden, Jean Curtis, Carol Taylor, and Merlin Mayberry all of Roy.

I am the Coordinator for the Developmental Skills Lab. We offer classes in Basic English, Basic Math as well as GED preparation and high school courses. The best part of my job is the students themselves. There is no greater satisfaction than seeing students accomplish their goals. Many of our students have had to overcome great obstacles to return to school.
They are motivated and determined to advance their education; they are hungry to learn and move forward with their lives. It doesn't get better than that as an instructor.
Every month or two we have a graduation ceremony to honor our GED graduates or high school graduates. Not only do we see the pride on our graduates' faces, but also the joy of their families and friends who come to celebrate the occasion.
Students have told me what a welcoming environment we have in the Lab. Our dedicated instructors and staff strive to meet the needs of all our students. The biggest challenge for our students is to walk in our front door. Once they have made the decision to come back to school, we are here to ensure they reach their goals. As one student told me, "The Skills Lab is better than a private school, and it's free!"

The time of year when you can hunt deer and elk in Utah might change in 2011. Several months ago, the Utah Wildlife Board directed the state's wildlife agency to give big game hunters more hunting options to choose from, and to reduce crowding among hunters who are in the field.
The ideas the Division of Wildlife Resources has come up with wouldn't be implemented until the 2011 hunts. But the changes are big enough that the DWR wants to get the ideas out now so there's plenty of time for interested citizens to comment.
Rules for the 2011 hunts will not be approved until November 2010. "The ideas we've come up with would give hunters some new options," said Anis Aoude, big game coordinator for the DWR.
Interested citizens can learn more about the DWR's ideas and provide input and suggestions at five Regional Advisory Council meetings held across Utah. Citizens representing the RACs will share with the Utah Wildlife Board the input received at the meetings.
Citizens can participate and provide input at any of the following meetings. Note that the Southern Region meeting begins at 5 p.m. and the Central Region meeting will be held on a Thursday.

In this highly praised guidebook, versatile and influential artist/teacher Joseph Sheppard introduces an innovative approach to drawing the human form. Beginning by reviewing the basics of anatomy, he makes his principal focus the specifics of surface anatomy. Rather than depicting in detail the muscles and bones that lie beneath the skin, as do most books on artistic anatomy, this book concentrates on how the position and movement of muscles and bones affect the surface forms on live models. The effects are masterfully demonstrated in over 170 of Joseph Sheppard's own drawings of many different live models in front, back and side views, and in various standing, sitting, kneeling, crouching, reclining, and twisting poses. Each drawing is accompanied by two diagrams, one for bones and one for muscles, which specifically show how surface forms are created by the definitive shapes beneath the skin. Paperback, 144 pages.

THIS seems a bit counterintuitive:
The White House announced today that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will not be held as an �enemy combatant,� and will instead be tried in civilian court.�This is a�direct rebuff to four Republicans � Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Kelly Ayotte, and Pete King � who had been clamoring for him to be held indefinitely without trial or tried under laws of war in a military commission. Tsarnaev will be charged with conspiring to use weapons of mass destruction against people and property in the United States, resulting in death.

April 1 is quickly approaching, a.k.a. April Fools' Day, the day when you have to watch out for all the tricks people will try to catch you with. Well, here are some ideas for tricks of your own.
The Greg Heffley! Add salt to a water bottle and offer your best friend a drink. (This is a prank that Wimpy Kid actor, Zach Gordon, tried on the set of the movie, but it backfired! Read the true story.)
The Rodrick! Replace the delicious white oreo filling with toothpaste, and offer them to your best friend. (Another true story! Zach Gordon fell for this one when Rodrick actor, Devon Bostick offered it to him on the set while they were filming the movie.)
Moldy Milk! Put green food coloring in the milk to make it look like it's moldy.
Wacky Wake Up! Take your sibling's alarm clock, set for 2am. Then hide it somewhere in the room so she will have to search for it when it goes off in the middle of the night.
Cereal Switch! Take the inner plastic bags of cereal out of their boxes and switch them around into the wrong cereal boxes.
Epic Fail! Come home from school and pretend to be really upset because you failed a test. Let your parents freak out for a while before you say, "April Fools!"
Are you planning any hilarious pranks on your family and friends on April 1? We'd love to hear them! Leave your prank ideas in the Comments.

Yes, they'll drop before July, April is anticipated date. Sorry to keep everybody waiting, the sound of these is very important and is a huge responsibility. I'm assessing all feedback I've received over the last few months, interestingly a lot of the audiophiles liked it bass heavy w some of the M-100 protos as long as the highs were clear, present and extended further. There is a meet in March for Head-Fi in LA, I'll let people try them out!
It really does amaze me how much V-Moda goes and actually gets their hands dirty by going this deep into the research and development process. With that said, I'd rather the sound be tuned to the set standards rather than being released a month early. However, if both are possible, I really can't complain Bass-wise, Prefer it slightly heavier on the sub-bass (really deep < 30-50 Hz sub-bass) since our ears aren't as sensitive to it, but starting to balance off after that. That's just me though.

ESPN replaces longtime motorsports announcer ReidAP , Associated Press
Sep. 29, 2013 5:20 PM ET
BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) — ESPN says motorsports announcer Marty Reid is no longer with the network.
Reid had been with ESPN since 1982 and is the only television play-by-play announcer to cover five different North American motorsports series. He's called NASCAR's Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Truck Series, as well as IndyCar and NHRA.
An ESPN spokesman says the network is going in a different direction and Allen Bestwick will call the remainder of the Nationwide Series races this season.
Reid was the network's lead announcer for IndyCar and that position will be addressed later.
Reid erred during the Sept. 21 Nationwide Series race at Kentucky when he called the win for Ryan Blaney one lap shy of the finish. Bestwick called Saturday's race at Dover instead of Reid.

April 24 2011 08:56AM
The day Boston drafted Milan Lucic, it was not obvious to all the Bruins had selected a future impact forward. He had size--6.02, 204 according to Central Scouting--but he wasn't at the top of the scoring charts (9 goals all season) and his PIMS (149) suggested long stretches in the sin bin for feeling shame. The Edmonton Oilers need a "Milan Lucic" and right soon--where is he?
At this point in time the Edmonton Oilers sadly lack big men with a wide range of skills. Steve MacIntyre is one of the best enforcers in the NHL currently, JF Jacques can skate extremely well for a big man but in both cases these men are mostly "stick optional" types. Jacques fit the PF bill quite well coming out of junior but lost an enormous portion of his fine motor skills when his back injuries began to take their toll.
So, along with grabbing the right guy at #1 overall and not blowing the LAK pick later in the first round when he takes a defenseman, Stu MacGregor and the scouting staff need to find a Lucic among the youngsters available this summer.
The Oilers current group of roster players doesn't boast anyone who fits the bill (I believe Taylor Hall will be able to take care of himself, but no one in their right mind wants #4 dictating the physical tone of an NHL game), but there are some bubbling under candidates:
- Tyler Pitlick turns 20 in November and is 6.02, 188. However, he had only one fighting major with Medicine Hat this season and 31 PIMS overall. His goal/pim numbers (27/31) don't really have that Lucic feel.
- Drew Czerwonka turns 19 in July and is 6.02 197. He would be my choice for strongest PF candidate of the bubbling under group as he clearly is a game rooster (6 fights in the WHL) and his goal/pim ratio (14/78) more closely resembles the player we're looking for at this spot. Czerwonka has played some with skilled men on the Kootenay Ice roster and I think he's a player of great interest moving forward.
Anyone hoping Travis Ewanyk would slip through the cracks unnoticed is sol this morning as his performance at the U18's turned some heads and got people talking about his range of skills. Jim Matheson talks about Ewanyk in his Sunday morning column here and will no doubt be reading about him more this spring. The Pipeline guys have Ewanyk blogging for them here. I count 10 fighting majors on his resume this past season.
Austen Brassard of the OHL's Belleville Bulls is also getting some notice. He's 6.02, 191 had 5 majors in the OHL and has good footspeed for this player type. There are some questions about his hockey sense but he's definitely a player to follow in this category.
Stefan Noesen is from Plano, Texas and is 6.01, 195. Although he didn't fight that much, his reputation is as a hard working, physical forward who won't back away from the rough stuff. He scored 34 goals for Plymouth (OHL) this season so there's a lot of skill with this player.
By the time we start talking about a player as a potential draft pick, one imagines NHL teams have a bunch of foolscap on said prospect. I think Medicine Hat winger Kale Kessy might be just what the doctor ordered for the Edmonton Oilers. He's 6.03, 185 and scored 65gp, 10-14-24 129pims for the Tigers this season. 9 majors. There are several youtube highlights including this one.

April 25 2011, 09:52AM
Well I know Lucic didn't scare Jim Vandermeer. Vandy won and he was smiling the whole time. Hell he smiles and laughs during every fight! I guess I'm saying we should resign him as a 6/7 d man for next year.
I totally agree, he's a tough as hell D-man who's sheer a battler. I say sign him as 6/7 guy for sure
LT - You've spoken before of Mark McNeill with the LA pick. Would he fit this bill or is he too "skilled".
6'2" 210lbs, 53PIMS with 3 fighting majors. A lot of scouting reports call him "hard nosed".
April 25 2011, 11:36AM
Why expend a draft pick when we can sign Darian Dzuirzynski for nothing?
11 fights and judging from his fight with Brett Lyon, buddy can take a punch as well as he can give them out. Goes nicely with his 35 goals this season.
hockeydb as the kid at 6' 200lbs.

I wonder if the oil could do the 2009 draft again if they would opt for Kassian or Ellis over Paajarvi. I wouldnt mind Kassian over Magnus, we have enough skilled guys and not enought beasts

the universal underworld. (mayan calender) 2012/nibiru/pole shifts
Ian Xel Lungold's great work on the mayan calender.. (videos further down)
2012 is not the end of the world. its not about wars/famine/planet x. apocalypse
its about the natural evolution of consciousness.. as shown through the mayan calender(through time)
the mayan calender is not a calender. its a means to judge and guide us, when consciousness/energy is changing..
the next cycle(in human consciousness), begins march 9th 2011.. each cycle lasts 20 days.. the last cycle began jan 5th 1999, all the cycles continue along side each other, until all cycles are completed..
looking forward to questions.
put that ^ part between the you tube tag things
<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mhxX4ziOEjo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
a big change in consciousness may cause wars/famine/planet x/apocalypse,....right ?
peace sunny thanks,
no, the change in consciousness will not create those events.. those events will occur due to orchestrated events(holly wood since 2000 has been gearing us up with movie after movie on natural disasters).easily orchestrated wars or project blue beam type scenerio... or.even a end of times biblical event to be staged.. the natural disasters maybe due to 'heavenly bodies' / planets.
son... the cycle begins tomorrow.. but what the hell happens during this cycle.. and what can we do to optimize ourselves and profit for the betterment of ourselves during it?
interesting fact... if america keeps spending at the present rate in december 2012 it will max out
also the solar winds are going to knock out communications, electric grids, satellites etc...we are going bck to the 70's
im a try to get deeper into this..

Solving the Greatest Mystery of our Time: The Mayan Calendar
Note About the beginning date of the Universal Cycle
I have probably contributed myself to the confusion that reigns when it comes to the beginning date of the Universal wave movement and have given different times for this. What we know is that the calendar develops according to nine wave movements, where the longest one goes back to the birth of the universe, and they all differ from one another with a factor of twenty. According to such a fractal view of the prophetic Mayan calendar system the ninth wave would then be only 234 days long made up of 13 different uaxaclahunkin (18 day) periods. This places the beginning of the ninth wave at March 9, 2011 and that of the preceding wave (Conscious Convergence) at July 17, 2010. These are points in time that are expected to mark significant frequency increases and accelerations of time.
As we approach the time when all the nine waves, developing at different speeds, will simultaneously come to manifest fully (28 October 2011, 13 Ahau) there is thus going to be quite complex patterns of overlapping of these waves. The Sacred Calendar rounds of 260 days will still have an unquestionable energetic existence and so these, as part of this overlapping, would continue the three stage rocket into the birth of the new world that started on 9.9.9 (Sept 9, 2009, please see http://www.calleman.com/content/arti...n_calendar.htm). For this reason the dates of the beginnings of the two next tzolkin rounds, May 27, 2010 and Feb 11, 2011, will also remain as important times for celebrating alignments with the cosmic plan and potentially very important for the preparation for the Conscious Convergence and the actual ninth wave respectively.
Carl Johan Calleman
just going on the the end of the current cycle that began on jan 5th 99. and its theme ethics.. looking at protests/revolution in the middle east. and those in europe end of last year.. ethically.. are people wakeing up??
for the moment ill stop on the evolution of consciousness vibe
the mayan side of things, everything is very positive for humanity...
but going by other ancient cultures and some modern religions.. we are near judgement day..
The human consciousness calender of the mayans ties into what ancient cultures have all described as an event that is coming in 2012..what we are going into is a once in a 60,000 year event.. but also mixing into that is..another event that happens roughly every 3200 years..
this year. their will be crazy alignments in planets/the sun/the central point of the universe.. i got a youtube video and a file saved.. ill find them both and post later
the mayans had several 'calenders' (their not as what we term as calenders, their devices that give guidelines for differant things from personal, to the suns/planets/stars orbits/eclipses, aswell as personal calenders that would be like modern day horoscopes)
one calender, that represented star/planetary alignments. has the been represented as a crop circle. its called avesbury crop circle 2008
and it depicts how the planets will be aligned dec 21st 2012 (going by mayan astrology.. that has 'predicted' well no it calculated, when each and every solar/lunar eclipse would be) with planet X :S
crop circle videos of avebury crop circle (next to stonehenge 33degree meridian) with narration from researchers i think are pretty sick :p with planet x in
the above video is just to sick, please research the information provided before you start to lash out!
people useing the above mentioned programmes searching that part of space
i cant do this embedding shit.. please may a mod access this and fix it :d
recently NASA has announced that their is something heading out way
Nemesis/Herculobos/ELEnin (EXtinction Level Event N??? wonder what that is.:p)
which any one can find and research from any western media source.. recently they have even been saying stuff about the oort cloud,.. that something is lurking their.. again i wont post on that. cos its mainstream.much easier to research..
The discovery of a comet last month. Original estimates put it's trajectory within 8 Astronomical Units (AU) of earth, but revised numbers put it much closer at 0.15 au. Its arrival comes this Sept/Oct with Earth passing through its debris trail around November 2011
Where do i go from here.. hmm.. more proof i guess..
nasa and universities have access to satelites (iras/soho/stereo behind) aswell as looking at space through infa red telescopes from the new observatory in antartica ( if people do their research. they;ll be able to find out why they chose antartica..)
i used to think planet x was a planet.. or a comet.. just some random thing.. but.. EVERY solar system..(except ours lol) is binary or has a triple star system.. up until the early 80's it was mainstream that we must live in a binary star system.. (i can provide lots of links.. if people want)
i see this thing that was in the mayan crop circle,, or this planet x / worm wood/the destroyer/nibiru/summarian tablets/etc as being a brown dwarf. the suns twin..
theirs videos available and information out their that shows this,. and tells u where to look and how.....
The mayan evolution calender ends in 2012,, and..does that mean we will all cro create? or will we get pole shifts (theirs govt sites that show the poles are moving,(infact so much so. that indonesia is sinking.. theirs huge amounts of water on land. and it hasnt rained for a long time...) like we have had in the past, that have been documented.
search youtube users traitors beware, bo knows entertainment..
i dont believe all that is in them sites, but they provide accurate information,. i just dont go with their over all end game agenda's
their is a lot of information their. i can get deeper into all of it.
ill end with one last video.. its old but.. very relevent
its from freemantv
id say he is 99% right on things.. this is old tho.. bout 4 years.. he covers icke's work. and has scholars from all fields on his show..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl70Sr3cbsM -> return of the nephillim off of freemantv covers abit on the mayan calender,. also check at 35.50mins where he says' its my personal theory that white man comes from mars and landed and came down inthe cauccus moutians and invaded planet earth' theirs also another piece in their where he tells of a statue (on easter island) that has the story of the moon being brough into our orbit..
sorry theirs lots of reading/time required.
those pictures just fucked me up.
but yo..
it's 12:16 AM.. the cycle begans
rUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HH
peace, sunny could you, sort out the other videos on my post too?, thankyou (:
yo the forumula is *youtube* the link (like v=dlkskdnflsandflskdfds you put everything after v=*/youtube*

The Great Tree and a graphic of the Universal Wave Calendar
View the 9th level Universal Wave Calendar
The Universal Wave calendar starts on 9th March 2011(it has taken 16.4 Billion years to manifest).
The consciousness of Creation's evolution is playing out according to a divine plan and everything is on schedule, this one can grasp though looking at the Mayan calendar and how this aligns to the 9 levels of the Mayan Pyramids. Dr. Carl Johan Calleman's study of the Mayan Calendar is revolutionary.
The seed of the "Tree of Life" came from the "Great Mystery". The Great Mystery allowed for a seed to be planted some 16.4 Billion years ago and this has grown to manifest as the "Tree of Life" forming the many branches from its tall trunk that stands humble and wise with love. The root of the "Tree of Life" is given energy from the beautiful fertile soil in the garden of the universes "Great Mystery". This energy fuels the "Tree of Life" and this in turn feeds the collective consciousness to be consciously alive. In becoming life out of nothing the greatest miracle manifests. The Great Spirit that was given sacred powers from the Great Mystery intended the growth of the sacred "Tree of Life". This conscious action of love allowed for the anti matter to become the matter. A new branch is about to start on 9th March 2011, this will align consciousness to the trunk of the Tree of Life and her roots that connect to the infinite universes Great Mystery. This new branch is allowing for a new connection to the "Great Mystery" and her Garden of fertile soil. This connection will bring things to change to new levels of awareness as we live to explore our existence. The new branch of the "Tree of Life" is about to be initiated from the "Great Mystery" as the 9th Wave of Universal Co-Creation, according to the consciousness of the Mayan calendar.
The Mayan calendar represents the "Tree of Life". The Mayan calendar's 9th level of consciousness will bring in the Universal Wave, as a process from seed to fruit, starting on 9th of March and ending on the 28th of October 2011. For the first day from 9th to 26th March I am feeling the "seeds of unity" as a vibration of sacred intention into action and doing, and this shining a light of love, resonating through the collective consciousness.
We are arriving at a time in the universe where everything will be divinely guided because we will align directly to the center of the universes Great Mystery". The universal frequencies of love will resonate through the collective consciousness. This means that the collective consciousness of humanity will be guided divinely. In other words we will align with creations original intention and sacred flow, in harmony and balance. If one looks at the world then one realizes why things are in chaos, because everything is changing to become one with creation. We will sacredly exist as co-creators of heaven on earth in the "Garden of Eden", naturally trusting with truth from our infinite heart of unconditional love.
The collective consciousness is the fruit of the "Tree of Life". We are about to become ripe with the original intention of love. Only in love can we exist in paradise. Life is a privilege.
The Mayan Calendar shows the process of growth from seed to fruit on the TREE OF LIFE. For this reason it is the divine calendar with a prophetic outcome. The prophecies show us that only with love can there be life. On each of the 9 levels of the Mayan calendar are the 13 divisions. These divisions, also known as heavens are the 7 days and 6 Nights. The 1st division in the 1st level has a resonance to the 1st division or the 1st day in all the levels and we reach the 1st day in the 9th and last level on the 9th of March 2011. Thus we are aligning to the trunk of the tree and her roots.
The 8th level resonates to the right brain and eastern hemisphere and thus a closer connection to spirit. This started on the 5th of January 1999, with the fruit growing to become a Galactic consciousness which came into fruition on the 3rd of November 2010. This 12.8 year period from 1999 to 2011 comprises basically of 13 by 360 day Tun calendar cycles which are the 7 periods of light and 6 periods of dark of the 8th level.
You can add your own experiences into these times from 1999 but for me it has been a time of deep exploring within, life is teaching me to trust the divine flow as I see myself connecting to my truth within. I have realized that I am anything but separate. You are me and I am you. We are reflections of each other. Everything is a choice. Who you are and where you come from and what you have become is all part of your choice. This is your reality and equates to your consciousness. The center of who you are is your timing system which for the most part is governed by the physical movement of the earth around the sun. From a physical point of view this keeps our consciousness pinned down to the 3rd dimension and does not help us to connect to the infinite universe where all potential dwells. The Mayan calendar works with a system that allows one to connect to your spiritual growth and for this reason it is becoming very popular with more spiritually inclined people. Aligning to the Cosmic Mayan calendar rhythms and cycles allows you to connect to the divine plan of oneness with the universe. The Mayan calendar is a spiritual calendar that shows the evolution and transformation of consciousness from the spiritual dimensions to the physical 3rd dimension. We are not just physical. With every breath we are manifested into existence. Our minds have a hard time grasping this because we are not our minds. Our heart knows this because this is where our essence comes from. Our heart connects us to the Great Spirit.
The 9th level starts on the 9th of March 2011 and I feel will resonate to the hearts infinite Oneness and a unitary open and clear consciousness with no divisions affecting the global brain (or our brain = opening us up to a clear path to the heart, with no filters = we will be able to connect to the universe like never before = the last time we had a clear and open path to the infinite cosmos was on the 5th level which moved into resonance with the next level 5125 years ago, filtering our collective consciousness to the left brain half, favoring material values). Our collective global brain is about to favor no separations.
The 9th level will be 234 days in length and will prepare us for entry into a place of sacred existence with the multi-dimensions of the infinite universe (this is the way I am seeing it). The 7th day and fruit of the 9th level will bring the consciousness of complete Universal Co-Creation and the 7th day will start on 11th October 2011 and complete on the 28th of October. The same period on the 8th level is 360 days long and 20 x bigger, from 3rd of November 2010 to 28th October 2011. Each day and night of the 13 divisions of the 9th level to infinite expansion is 20 x smaller and will be 18 days. This equates to the feeling of time speeding up, but actually Creation is quickening and shifting the ages to converge and give birth to the new golden age of peace, harmony and balance.
Through the 13 Heavens of 18 days on the 9th level, Creation is divinely intending its growth process from seed to fruit on the Tree of Life. This will manifest a new consciousness on earth, one that will have to bring the collective consciousness closer to center.
The Galactic Waves 8th level as a cross reference to the Universal Waves 9th level
We will walk through this now and as we do this we can look back in consciousness to see what we were up to and how life has grown from a seed to a mature fruit through the Galactic Wave. And we can look forward in consciousness to see what each 18 day cycle of the 9th level might bring but with the understanding that it will resonate to Oneness. For me the understanding is that the 8th Level resonates to a spiritual connection within and thus to the cosmos without, preparing us in alignment with the 9th Wave of the hearts Oneness.
1. First 360 day Tun cycle - 1st Day starts on 5th January 1999
1 = Initiates (sowing the seeds)
Cycle one is a period of light or an opening for the growth of consciousness. The seed is planted and it is time for a new beginning to create the flow in a new direction. For some it may have been a time of being unsure as we entered a new millennium. One is the beginning of all things and new perceptions are available.
(First 18 day cycle of Universal wave - 1st Day = 9th March to 26th March 2011)
2. Second 360 day Tun cycle 1st Night starts on 31st December 1999
2 = Creates a reaction (Germination of the seed)
Cycle two is a period of dark or the opportunity to apply the enlightenment just received from creations flow. The germination of the seed allows for new points of view. To be or not to be is the question. We are separate but one. We are 2 sides of the same coin and the coin will not be whole if we only look at one side. It is the application of initiates. After the seed is planted, does the seed grow or not? Have you noticed that before something begins we hold our breath in anticipation? Breathe in and let go with trust.
(Second 18 day cycle of Universal wave 1st Night = 27th March to 13th April 2011)

Today is the start of the 9th wave, as we all are aware, it's also the start of lent for the religious Christian people.
9th March is the start of the 9th wave and also Ash Wednesday, it gets more spooky so bare with me.

Synchronisity? Or planned that way,? (watch from 6th minute http://www.youtube.com/v/ieK02PKv4ls )
consciousness is speeding up, more experiances will happen in shorter 'time-frames'
- 1st Underworld (Cellular) - 16.4 Billion Years Total and Each Day/Night 1.26 Billion Years - Completion date 28th October 2011.
Then during the 7th Day of the Cellular Underworld, the same amount of creation that takes 16.4 Billion Years was compressed into 20x shorter period of what we percieve as time. Therefore the next Underworld....
- 2nd Underworld (Mammalian) - 820 Million Years Total and each Day/Night 63.1 Million Years - Completion date 28th October 2011.
Then during the 7th Day of the Mammalian Underworld, the same amount of creation was further compressed into 20x shorter period of what we percieve as time. Therefore the next Underworld....
- 3rd Underworld (Familial) - 41 Million Years Total and each Day/Night 3.1 Million Years - Completion date 28th October 2011.
Then during the 7th Day of the Familial Underworld, the same amount of creation was further compressed into 20x shorter period of what we percieve as time. Therefore the next Underworld....
- 4th Underworld (Tribal) - 2 Million Years Total and each Day/Night 158,000 Years - Completion date 28th October 2011.
Then during the 7th Day of the Tribal Underworld, the same amount of creation was further compressed into 20x shorter period of what we percieve as time. Therefore the next Underworld....
- 5th Underworld (Cultural) - 102,000 Years Total and each Day/Night 7,900 Years - Completion date 28th October 2011.
Then during the 7th Day of the Cultural Underworld, the same amount of creation was further compressed into 20x shorter period of what we percieve as time. Therefore the next Underworld....
- 6th Underworld (National) - 5,125 Years Total and each Day/Night 394 Years - Completion date 28th October 2011.
Then during the 7th Day of the National Underworld, the same amount of creation was further compressed into 20x shorter period of what we percieve as time. Therefore the next Underworld....
- 7th Underworld (Planetary) - 256 Years Total and each Day/Night 19.7 Years - Completion date 28th October 2011.
Then during the 7th Day of the Planetary Underworld, the same amount of creation was further compressed into 20x shorter period of what we percieve as time. Therefore the next Underworld....
- 8th Underworld (Galactic) - 12.8 Years Total and each Day/Night 360 Days - Completion date 28th October 2011.
Then during the 7th Day of the Galactic Underworld, the same amount of creation is further compressed into 20x shorter period of what we percieve as time. Therefore the next Underworld....
- 9th Underworld (Universal) - 234 Days Total and each Day/Night 18 Days - Completion date 28th October 2011.
So in a nutshell, the same amount of Creation that has been occurring and getting compressed 20x throughout all these Cycles is going to be compressed again and occur in just 234 Days as in from 9th March 2011 to 28th October 2011.
Now that is some Creation folks. The mind will simply not be able to cope or keep up because it can only operate at around 25fps lol.
All the KTL members should read and absorb these levels, they are Ibso-Facto, QED and Proof that the Mayan Calendar was accurately devised, devised on the discovery of the Grand Schedule, the Master Plan of the Universe and the consciousness within it, the make up and building blocks that hold it all together...yes...consciousness :cool: http://www.wutang-corp.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif
'Gods' (really our own conscious) Master Plan now being revealed in the end days just as stated in the Bible(and other religions), I forget which chapter and verse http://www.wutang-corp.com/forum/ima...s/rolleyes.gif
THE END DAYS...sounds fatal doesn't it ! Well don't misinterpret it as destruction, death and disaster...unless you are writing a Hollywood Movie in which case yeah go for it and blow it up baby ! its got to be done, so bring it on
The End Days, is something entirely different..thankfully http://www.wutang-corp.com/forum/ima...lies/smile.gif it means an End to this system of things that should take place 28th October 2011 in favour of a new system a 'new matrix'. It sounds incredible, too fantastic, spaced out man yeah far out, but we have it on impeccable authority that this is the actual case. The Impeccable Authority of which I refer is of course our histroy, as backed up by the unfolding of the Mayan calandar...it is irrefutable.
16.4 Billion years, we keep on reminding of it...because its such a collosal figure. We so frequently use figures like a miilion and a billion today but we dont really think how big 1 million is. For example it would take about 1 week solid to count from 1 to a million at a rate of 2 numbers said per second.
16.4 billion would take roughly 17 years to count or more...if my maths is any good that is
This is how long the universe has existed for in this lifetime timescale. It may have existed before and gone through this entire cycle before, which I doubt as that would be counter productive and prove that God really is bored.
So 16.4 billion years ago BANG hello universe and all matter, it all formed, life appeared, we had this life, we grew, we got smarter and now we are here ---> . Masters of our destiny in unity....its going to be one hell of a ride from the 9th onwards.
I have often had the feeling that I ( as spirit ) have come back in time, been physically born, to grow up just to experience this event (again) as I have seen it experienced it all before. Has anyone else had those thoughts? That you have already lived/existed to the end of infinity but like a living history lesson, have come back to see it, experience it again?? I would be very interested to know, so please think deeply.

The Animals Speak of the Need for Accelerated Change - 7th March 2011
Chief Dan George, Salish,
British Columbia, 1899-1981
There is a longing among all people and creatures to have a sense of purpose and worth. To satisfy that common longing in all of us we must respect each other. In the olden times man and creature walked as friends who carried the beauty of the land in their hearts. Now each one of us is needed to make sure the salmon can find a place to spawn and the bear cub a tree to climb. There is little time left and much effort is needed!
The Animals Speak is a wonderful book by Ted Andrews which offers an in-depth analysis, as well magical and spiritual meanings to many of our worlds animals, birds and reptiles. In the indigenous world, every animal carries a medicine and a message. It is always crucial to pay attention to the animals that cross ones path and their particular significance in ones life.
Presently, on a global scale, the animals seem to be screaming a few messages at us Pay attention now to
the whales beaching and dying,
the dolphins aborting,
the millions of jellyfish and hundreds of tons of fish washing ashore dead,
to the bats dying,
or the bumblebee colonies collapsing,
to the birds, birds, and more birds found dead,
or the cattle, buffalo, and other livestock mysteriously dying off,
the bald eagles gathering in mass only to drop from the sky from starvation;
all over the planet there are new animal death stories everyday.
Its sobering, sad, worrisome and disconcerting. Even the average Joe must ask himself, what in the world is going on? I have learned to breathe more deeply, to enjoy the moment more fully, and to have gratitude more often as I say farewell to these magnificent creatures who have graced our lives with their presence. It is becoming painfully clear that we are indeed an intricate eco-system, interdependent on one another and at a loss when large numbers of any species exits the planet unexplainably.
Somewhere in my bedroom right now is a very stinky, rotting and dead lizard. I cannot find where he has chosen to rest his carcass, I can only smell him. Its truly obnoxious. Lizard can be symbolic of our unconscious dream state. A dead one is telling me to PAY ATTENTION. Dead lizards portend fears and sometimes foreshadowing of dangers ahead. Clearly, I have interpreted this animals death as a warning I make my living on food and luxury services in a tourism industry where will this industry be in a year from now as food prices continue to sky-rocket and fuel becomes unaffordable? Dead lizard tells me to prepare for a new timeline.
In one day from now, we will all be thrown into hyperspace speed acceleration as the Mayan Calendar enters its last phase of a very long and complex counting system. What we are witnessing is an overtaxed eco-system that has probably reached tipping point. We can soothe are minds by saying that the fish and bird deaths are due to the changing magnetic fields, but how do you explain all the other animal deaths? I take solace in the fact that these events were prophesied and are part of the web of creation back to wholeness, health and planetary balance.
Our world is severely out of balance, has been severely out of balance for quite a while. All of our systems, be it financial, educational, political, religious, health, military, energy, marital and most obviously, environmental are straining under the stressful conditions of an imminent collapse. The animals are merely screaming their message loud and clear: the end of this unbalanced living is near. What is beautiful about every death is the rebirth that follows. Ted Andrews says, there is no life without death, and there is no death without rebirth. Death always has a loss and a gain balance. All life is sacred and all life is essential to other life.
So let us look at the meaning these animals carry
whale: brings us creation, the power of song, & awakening to inner depths,
dolphin: the power & healing of breath and sound,
jellyfish/fish: represent the health of our worlds waters,
bats: speaks of transition and initiation,
bumblebees: fertility and the honey of life,
birds: flight, freedom, lightness of spirit and upliftment,
buffalo: manifesting abundance through right action & prayer, and
eagle: illumination of spirit, healing and all creation.
(My list is a reduced version of the hordes of animals deaths!)
Now imagine these animal powers listed above in their death throes. Isnt it obvious that our world is about to transition? Whale brings us the memory, the history, the records we need to remember Dolphin brings us the sound and the breath to move through these times, fish calls our attention to the healing of the waters, bat tells us that shamanistic death is at hand, bees warn us that life cannot be sustained without them, buffalo enlists us to correct prayer, and eagle, sweet eagle is starving he tells us our spirits our bankrupt and so our world is reflecting this state of being, he invites us to live in responsible relationship. Karmically, eagle says that events will fly faster now, repercussions will be realized quicker, and all you do or say- positive or negative- will come home to roost in stronger ways. The animals are speaking, the animals are always speaking, are we listening yet?
On the last phase of the Mayan Calendar which is only 260 days, the gestation period of the birth of our Mother, one must tread softly, cautiously and with much awareness, as Eagle is telling us, all of our actions do carry much weight! Kindly remember All are part of an ecosystem. All are necessary for every other aspect. Everything that occurs in nature repurcusses upon us. Everything that happens to us, repurcusses upon nature. Though we may like to remain seperate, we are not. We may not recognize the repurcussions, but they are real, nonetheless, and She (Mother Nature) would honor that. Ted Andrews
In all five of my births, I was excited and thrilled to be bringing a new life to the planet. In all five of my births, when the time came to labor, I was scared.
I am thrilled and excited now, I am also scared. The wave of energy on the planet is engulfing me, the forces of nature are taking over, this birth is about to happen. Who, I ask is immune to this feeling? I take a deep breath and I call upon my favorite totem, Dragonfly, to protect the rainbow warriors and keep us always and forever in the power of the light!
In Love,
Preparing To Step Into The Wave
March 7, 2011
In two days humanity enters the 9th Wave of Consciousness, Unity Consciousness, as described by Laarkmaa and the Mayan Calendar. For those of you who may not understand exactly what the Mayan Calendar is, it is a formula for understanding ENERGY. It is not really about time, although our time-focused modern cultures persist in believing that the dates of the Mayan Calendar are time oriented. The truth is that the Mayan Calendar is about energy waves, complete with portals where we may gain greater understanding of the cycles of energy of the universe. Laarkmaa tells us that the Pleiadians brought the Mayan Calendar to the Maya 5,000 years ago as a guideline to help humanity learn to navigate energy and learn to work with it as co-creators. Mayan elders confirm the understanding that this wisdom came from the stars. Our ancestors were lovingly shown how to recognize the energy signature of each day and how to act in accordance with the universal plan for harmony.
Sadly, as we matured mentally, we devolved spiritually, separating ourselves more and more from Nature. We convinced ourselves that knowledge was more powerful than wisdom, and we erroneously began to believe that we could control our lives by managing our time. We forgot as humans how to act in accordance with Nature; we forgot the understanding of universal energy, and we have alienated ourselves from love and light through our patterns of fear, judgment, control, and manipulation.
Now that we find ourselves at the eleventh hour, we are only beginning to remember Who We Are. Laarkmaa is here to help us remember that we are divine and are part of the universe, so that we can co-create the New Reality. More about this is available in our book, click here.
Mayan Calendar scholar Carl Johan Calleman has brilliantly outlined the energy waves of the Mayan Calendar and aligned them with the Gregorian Calendar so that we can begin to integrate each of these waves of energy into our lives. The date each energy wave arrives and the energy it carries is listed at the end of this article. Sean Alan Caulfield has described the waves comparing them to the sequential process of bringing seed to fruit. Laarkmaa has given us the energy vibration of each of the waves. We are about to enter the 9th Wave of Consciousness, a wave of energy unlike any humanity has ever experienced. The 9th Wave holds the potential for us to put aside selfishness, judgment, competition, desire to control, and fear. This wave of energy opens us to change in ways we have never been able to access; we will now have the ability to change our old patterns and belief systems, if we have the courage and the desire to do so. Laarkmaa tells us that this is the path Home to Love. A live, Laarkmaa dialogue on this subject was captured on recording and will be available to you as an MP3 Download on our website on March 9th, 2011.
We are living in a very exciting time, but we will not realize the benefits of this beautiful energy wave if we do not take responsibility for our own thoughts, actions, and emotions. It is up to us to change. It is up to us to navigate the seas of change that will soon be washing over us. Below are the dates and what they represent in terms of energy, as described by Laarkmaa. Each period of eighteen days holds two periods of nine days. Laarkmaa teaches that if we consciously engage with the energy of these consciousness waves, we may begin to understand the truth of Who We Are and the power we can hold as co-creators when we learn how to manifest with love. Let us join the sea of the 9th Wave with open hearts.
END OF THE MAYAN CALENDAR 9TH WAVE AND BEGINNING OF THE NEW REALITY: OCTOBER 28, 2011 (approximately . it is a PROCESS!)

Ty for your question Sham-iLL
i hope ive provided some thoughts..
peace savario. i keep getting error msgs when i do the codeing ;/
JPBdsp6DOFk">JPBdsp6DOFk" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">
all im doing is *youtube*jdjdjwjd*/youtube*
hopefully this helps
i know i fucked it up, hence why i put up pics/diagrams and other text going into detail on what i meant..
but just for you :D
each day(cycle) (in the universal underworld cycle) is just under 20 days (earth days)
the last underworld cycle (GALACTIC) started on 5th january 1999,. and each day of the cycle lasted 320 (earth) days
please use the diagrams a few posts above to help
as an exmaple.. we are entering the 9th underworld the previous cycles of underworld(consciousness) run side by side the 7th underworld began 1755, then was jointed in 1999 by the 8th underworld.. and today, the 9th, those differant aspects of consciousness are running side by side, developing
- 7th Underworld (Planetary) - 256 Years Total and each Day/Night 19.7 Years - Completion date 28th October 2011.
- 8th Underworld (Galactic) - 12.8 Years Total and each Day/Night 360 Days - Completion date 28th October 2011.
- 9th Underworld (Universal) - 234 Days Total and each Day/Night 18 Days - Completion date 28th October 2011
the 1st video (and the following parts to it) explain the day/night, how long each one takes.. over how many years etc) with diagrams and its a lot easier to understand. it would be easier in person.. lol i could draw a pyramid, and break the each level down. the bottom level being the cellular under world and the one above being mammalian underworld.. each level of the pyramid would be a shorter length, with the base being the widest ( representing time) each level is broken into 13 sections, known as days. i think from memory their are 7 days 6 nights in each UNDERWORLD CYCLE,. (i have broken them down for the current universal underworld cycle, with the names given to each of the individual days
so from the bottom level of the 'pyramid' - cellular underworld. we are in the 7th day, but in the universal underworld we are in the 1st day (initiation)
all the underworld run alongside each other ( our consciousness is ever expanding/learning/experiancing learning )
hope i didn't confuse you more..
please check the videos :D you might need a few hours tho

Canada's rivalry with Russia in international hockey doesn't need any extra fuel, but Monday's game between the two nations at the World Junior Championship just got an extra kick.
Russian star Nail Yakupov, the first overall pick of the Edmonton Oilers last June, commented about his strategy for playing in Group B against opponents that include Canada and the United States.
Speaking to Russian news website R-Sport on Monday, Yakupov reportedly said, "I understand that I will have to keep a cool head and ignore provocations. Especially against the Canadians. These guys play dirty. We got used to that, we played a few games in the North America, so our team is ready.
"Of course, I'm ready for the leading role morally, physically and by all other criteria," Yakupov said.
The 19-year-old has been playing in the KHL this season with Neftekhimik after he was allowed to go overseas by his CHL club, the Sarnia Sting. He has 10 goals and eight assists in 22 games this season.
In the Canada/Russia game on Monday (TSN, TSN.ca, 9am et/6am pt), Yakupov will be playing against his future Oilers teammate, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins of Canada.

Friday's annual regional Dropout Prevention Summit, sponsored by CREATE Foundation, showcased innovative and practical approaches to keeping students in school at least through high school graduation, and the ideas all were instigated and implemented by Northeast Mississippians and school districts without legislative involvement.
Some, like the stellar pre-school initiatives in Amory and Monroe County, begin building the foundation for school years' success with pre-school children in a program funded by the Gilmore Foundation.
A character education program called Integrity Time, headquartered in Tupelo, focusing specifically on developing the best attitudes, personal values and individual determination in young children, has been adopted by many school districts, and it was first used at Church Street Elementary School in Tupelo. CEO Sara Berry and COO Lane Williams Yoder, both with Northeast Mississippi roots, now market the program nationwide and internationally.
Booneville Public Schools Superintendent Todd English described his system's dropout prevention action based on keeping children involved in extra-curricular activities – with a firm requirement of no failing grades, linked to near-constant communication and relationships with parents.
Itawamba Community College President David Cole and other ICC leaders described the school's dual enrollment programs for high school students, and its plans for a program called Mississippi Works, which requires partnerships with a school district and the community college, targeted toward students who are likely to drop out but who could be drawn back on a success path with a "change of scenery" – and education leading to a diploma and a "Career Readiness Credential."
Summit leader Lewis Whitfield, CREATE's executive vice president, also sounded a clear call for school districts in the region to use CREATE's resources, including former New Albany Public Schools Superintendent Charles Garrett, to consider requesting release from state rules and regulations that are found to be impediments to teaching and learning. That's one of the goals of charter school advocates that could a easily be accomplished in public school districts. Whitfield said CREATE stands ready to assist in that advocacy.
The passion and success of the districts and private-sector initiated programs clearly suggest that not all wisdom about effective public school policy in the real, often difficult world resides with the Legislature.
Legislators could gain useful insights if, instead of clustering in the Capitol, they would actually all go and visit schools where effective methods have been implemented against often daunting challenges of poverty, dysfunctional families, and the other hallmarks of life beyond politics in our state.

Skip to comments.The Little Black Carbine
Posted on 05/27/2008 12:13:42 PM PDT by DmBarch
There is much talk lately about the shortcomings of the M16 series, so I was particularly interested to see how it was performing in Iraq. Its popular today, in some circles, to deride this weapons family for its direct gas method of operation. Some claim its not reliable enough for military use, especially in the dust and sand of Iraq.
Plus many still scorn its small-caliber, high-velocity 5.56mm round. Its common to hear people say the terminal performance of this cartridge, especially in its standard military 62 grain M855 loading, is inadequate. So I was interested to see not only how the weapons were performing but what the troops thought of them.
The standard combat rifle issued to the men of the 3rd Squadron, 7th U.S. Cavalry is the M4 carbine. This is simply a shortened version of the M16A2/A3 rifle and utilizes the same method of operation. However, unlike the full size rifle the M4 wears a short 141⁄2-inch chrome-lined barrel and a collapsible stock. Barrel twist is 1:7 inch to allow use of all standard U.S. military 5.56mm ammunition including tracer, armor piercing and sniper/match loads.
Overall length with the stock extended is a handy 33 inches. Collapse the stock and this shrinks to just 29.8 inches. Loaded weight is only 6.9 pounds, making for a short and handy package. Like the M16A2, the M4 can be fired either semiautomatic or in three-shot burst mode but does not fire full automatic like the old M16A1 (although the M4A1 has this capability). Velocity for the standard 5.56mm 62-grain M855 ball round is approximately 2,900 fps.
(Excerpt) Read more at rifleshootermag.com ...
There is never enough CLP for a M16A2 in the desert.
The answers are a) Yes, it could be improved, and should be. b)opinions differ, probably, yes, it's better. c)No. It's underpowered.
This reprto matches EXACTLY the reports I get from returning Service members. Nice to see a fair and balanced article. Now off to the sotre for CLP.
Easy one...
go back to the M14 series rifles. Springfield now makes it in the SOCOM II (and other shortened) configurations - lightweight, synthetic stock, integral Picatinny rail set forward of the receiver for mounting optics/lights, short barrel with a wonderful compensator...MMMMMM. A lot less susceptible to dirt and grit, and it doesn't crap where it eats like the M16 series rifles...
And it's in man-stopping .308 caliber...one-shot drops, just like it's WWII cousin the M1 Garand in .30-06 (although it doesn't have quite the reach that .30-06 does).
Still...it's formidable, potent, and a better weapon...IMHO
Check out the Kel-Tec RFB rifle series. .308 battle rifle designed as a bullpup - very, very interesting piece.
If I am not mistaken (and I probably am) part of the military's "philosophy" behind the adoption of the smaller 5.56 (.223) cartridge was their belief that in most cases in battle it is actually better to WOUND the enemy than to kill him outright because a wounded soldier actually takes two or three people "out of action" (the soldier who is wounded AND one or two others who must tend to him/remove him from the field for treatment). How this works with an enemy who has no respect for ANY human life including those on "his" side is, I suppose, debatable.
Also, it is definitely true that a given weight of the smaller ammo contains more rounds than the .308 or .30-06.
Personally, I like them ALL. My .30-06 rifle is awesome and I really like my new High Standard AR-15 variant too.
Any idea when the RFB is going to be available? Sometime this fall?
I handled one of the new Springfield SOCOM II rifles at the latest gun show and I didn't think it was all that light. It actually seemed a bit heavier than my AR-15 and it was definitely bulkier. But I do like the .308 for its stopping power. I think in any squad a mix of .308 and .223 would be a good way to go.
Less is more in the desert. The biggest problem with CLP is operator error. CLP is a light oil that acts as a carrier for particulate teflon. The only way to get the particulate teflon into suspension is VIGOROUS shaking of the container is comes in. Additionally, placing a nut or bolt into the bottle, or several into the gallon sized containers will help break up the teflon sediment that settles to the bottom of the container. With CLP, the carrier can move away, and the teflon remains, keeping the mechanism running. Some folks prefer white lithium or TW25B grease, and this works too, keeping dust at a distance from moving parts.
Nothing replaces regular attention with a paintbrush, keeping the "DUST COVER" closed, and some troops have been seen with neoprene coolies (those foam things that keep one's beer cold) wrapped around their primary patrol magazine and pushed up against the bottom of the magazine well. This helps seal the system against some of the larger dust particles.
The rifle runs with disciplined maintenance.
Stay alert
That's the word, yeah - 3rd or 4th Q 08.
The RFB looks a great deal like the Israeli "Tavor" rifle. Bull pup, long barrel, and integral optic. The Tavor is still in 5.56 though. Not a bad round, wouldn't want to stand in front of one!
I think it's a compromise. Some soldiers end up in situations where they are outnumbered 10-to-1 and have to hold out for an indeterminate amount of time before help or supplies can arrive. One shot one kill isn't possible even among the best snipers. What additional ammo buys is time. Sometimes, you simply need to fire in a given direction to keep the other guys' heads down. Staying in an exposed position long enough to aim could result in getting shot immediately. Having the additional rounds of ammo is insurance against missing. Higher caliber weapons are also harder to shoot accurately on the move because of recoil. And they are difficult to control during multi-round bursts unless you're built like Rambo.
How about this? A good bit of a compromise in .243?
January 1975—"One bleeding-heart type asked me in a recent interview if I did not agree that 'violence begets violence.' I told him that it is my earnest endeavor to see that it does. I would like very much to ensure—and in some cases I have—that any man who offers violence to his fellow citizen begets a whole lot more in return than he can enjoy."
Jeff Cooper
ALWAYS had a love affair with Bullpup configurations...
And the FN-FAL has always been one of my favorites too. The "Free World's Strong Right Arm"...a great nickname. Too bad NATO didn't adopt the M14, though...
"Never do an enemy a small injury." - Niccolo Machiavelli
I understand being able to hump more ammo. I also understand that a DEAD enemy is one less coming at you later on. And if you wound one, take out the other two IF they come to get him...threesies...
Also - We need to be able to outrange the other guy - why engage him on HIS turf with limited-range smaller calibers? Take him out with well-aimed, optically directed surgical shots (like any good RIFLEMAN) so his close-up tactics are useless. Especially when they like to hide behind women and children...
Carbines are good for house-clearing, CQB, etc., but why go "muzzle to Muzzie" when you can perform .308 Ballistic Cranial Surgery from long range (on ANY enemy)?
Just my "ignernt" two cents...
"...the jamming on a grain of sand issues..."
Again, that's because of the design flaw of the M16/AR15 rifles - it craps where it eats. Very dirty design.
But it's an OK weapon overall if you keep it clean. I like my AR and will keep it. But the Garand and the M14 hold a special place in me ol' heart...
As well as Enfield No.4 MkIs and No. 5 Jungle Carbines, AK's, SKS's, lever-action Marlins and Winchesters...KAR98K's, Springfield 03's...etc.,
Even my old Mosin-Nagant M44 gives me a warm and fuzzy occassionally...
Great to be an American, ain't it?
Don't get me started on that Treasonous SOB Klinton. Those '14s should have come BACK to the States, been converted to semi-auto for civilian use, and should now be gracing the gun racks of American Citizens as their primary "Homeland Defense Rifles". The government would have MADE money on that one, AND earned the trust of the Citizens.
He, like most of the Dem leadership, is scum...but then again, why didn't our side prosecute him to the utmost extent when they had the chance? Easy - no balls. "When men reduce their virtues to the approximate, then evil acquires the force of an absolute, when loyalty to an unyielding purpose is dropped by the virtuous, its picked up by scoundrelsand you get the indecent spectacle of a cringing, bargaining, traitorous good and a self-righteously uncompromising evil." _ Ayn Rand
BM-59 was the Beretta version, I believe...?
ArmaLite made the AR-10 in .243.
Here is the article
New .243 Service Rifle Cartridge, A Proposal -- By Chuck Hawks
I think you're right about getting used to the extra weight. The SOCOM II is really intended for SOCOM guy, all of who are serious athletes. I think they'll happily trade the extra 2-3 pound for the stopping power. They're studs, they can handle the weight.
My only other concern would be long range accuracy. I haven't fired the SOCOM, but the M16/.223 combo is very accurate at 'longish' ranges (say 300+ yards). I wonder how the SOCOM compares, especially with its shorter barrel. I suspect within 150-200 yards it compares very well (and much better than the sloppy AK-47 and its variants). And frankly most combat is within that range. I suspect this weapon is already being tested in Iraq and Ashcanistan. Looking forward to the field reports.
Outstanding quote.
That's nice. I may have to look into one.
The "designed to wound" notion is a myth.
Used _as_designed_, the 5.56/M16 system is terminally devesating. High-velocity catastrophic fragmentation is not "designed to wound", it is designed to make a very large and very messy and very terminal hole.
The problem is that the 5.56/M16 system, while excellent when used as designed, gets awfully tempermental when used as _not_ designed. When first introduced to combat, it lacked the chromed barrel, proper powder, and cleaning was discouraged. Today, usage often includes improper twist/weight/length combinations, hard-target rounds on soft targets, and wet lubes in dusty environments, predictably leading to substandard results. Garbage in, garbage out.
Because sometimes the range is short, not long. If you're planning on doing urban CQB, don't take a tool designed for half-mile applications.
Good read - thanks for the link!
5.56 mm is an inadequate cartridge for reliable one-stop hits. Doesn't mean I'd like to be on the receiving end of one, but if I had to choose a round on which to stake my life, that wouldn't be it. .308 is nice and hard-hitting, and I've got 2 rifles that shoot it (a Remington 700 and an M1A).
If I had to pick a new cartridge for the grunts to use, I'd pick the 6.5 Grendel. It is based on the very accurate 6mm PPC round. The ballistics of the 6.5 bullet are superior to virtually anything out there, and it is inherently very accurate. One can hump many more rounds of it than .308/7.62mm, and have far greater hitting power than the 5.56. Excellent sniper round, as it is accurate at up to 1,000 yards (because of the ballistics).
Check it out at http://www.65grendel.com/
Me, I'd use this new cartridge with a piston-powered version of the AR series. You get the ergonomics of the AR series, the reliability of not $hitting where you eat, and the superior ballistics of the 6.5 bullet. Logistics will be simplified - get rid of all of the mouse-gun cartridges and the .308. Use this for LMGs, and if you need some really long-range stuff for sniping, use either .338 Lapua or .50 BMG.

Itachi is going to alter Kabuto's form similar to how the Sage of the 6 paths did when he created the Bijuu from the Jyuubi. Altering his from is simply where it ends.
However I should point out didnt Tobi suggest Izanagi needed the Senju "Vitality power" to be able to use it. So I guess we can assume Izagami doesnt require that power.

Introducing Shirow Miwa's Dogs: Bullets & Carnage.
Serialized in Ultra Jump.
I don't know how many people know about this manga but it's starting to grown fast in the LJ community I take part in, so wanted to spread it here. ^^
The first book serves as an introduction of the 4 main characters. Dogs: Stray Dogs Howling in the Dark.
They following releases came out as Dogs: Bullets & Carnage, serialized in Ultra Jump.
4 Main Characters:
Haine Rammsteiner: Red eyed, albino gunman with supernatural healing ability. A product of human experiment from a mysterious syndicate.
Badou: Haine's friend and partner. An extreme nicotine addict. Reasonable and a bit of a coward at time but becomes an insane murderer when deprived of cigarettes.
Fuyumine Naoto: An orphaned trained by a master swordsmen. Later joins the Haine's crew.
Mihai: An ex-mofia hitman.
Okay, my sucky summary of the main 4 are done. >.<
The storylines more than decent and the artwork is really awesome. I really recommend it, although the style is totally different, I'm thinking Saiyuki/Trinity Blood/Hitman Reborn fans might like this kind of stuff.. (Shrugs)
