JP, wow, another great job!!! I love to look at these pictures that come to my eyes, I could probably sit all day and look at pictures of what people are up to. I saw that queen right away.It is funny how the queens amongst the bees are usually so visible. Almost every queen that I see has that large bald thorax, that is how I find my queens, look for that thorax with no hair, no wonder it is so easy to mark queens. I am going to try to have all my queens marked this year.My biggest quandry right now is how on earth does one mark the queens that they buy when they are in their queen cage. I am going to get a thread going on this cause I need to know.JP, keep on keepin' on, I love to see your pictures and what you are up to, interesting and wonderful stuff, now I gotta go and let the chickens out, and see how is Whoppo's attitude this early morning. Have a wonderfully awesome and beautiful day, Cindi
I just returned from my cutout it was horrible and nasty and I will post it later. I just wanted you to know I am very jealous so I have reported all your pictures to Google as inappropriate content. ;) (joke)I actually think it's fantastic keep going. Sincerely,BrendhanBrendhan, if things keep going the way they do, I'll need steroids to keep up! What a great problem to have, man I feel fortunate, some of the members on the forums report they've never seen a swarm or feral colony in yrs or their entire lives. I just can't imagine that.Sorry your cut-out didn't go so well. As they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. We must be gluttons for punishment 'eh? Later man....JP
Yeh, That WAS cool! I turned the speakers up high and my wife thought the sound was MENACING!..Like a "CRONE CACKLE" she says! Got anymore sounds Kimbrell?your friend,john
Hey guys I went back to the house where I removed that hive yesterday and saw the bee person guy and was able to get that swarm outta his tree. They were probably about 17' up. I added these pics to a new album containing pics of another swarm I caught today in Marrerohttp://picasaweb.google.com/pyxicephalus/March162008...JP

Lukas Podolski officially becomes an Arsenal player today.
The German striker has been at Emirates Stadium to visit his new Club. His first task was putting pen to paper on the contract which formally completed his move from Cologne.
Click the PLAY button above for a free video of Lukas signing his contract
The 27-year-old was then taken on a tour of Highbury House to meet Club staff. After that, Lukas and his family walked across Ken Friar Bridge to Emirates Stadium itself. The Euro 2012 star took in the dressing room and walked out on the pitch itself before picking up some souvenirs in the Armoury.
Lukas will be back at the Club later this month to begin training ahead of the 2012/13 campaign.
Everyone at Arsenal wishes him the best of luck for the upcoming season.

I bought one last season and have been trying to get BG's company to fix it. They won't.
I went round and round in e-mails with their manager who insisted he couldn't get the parts for this call. He said it didn't have "purple guts" and it does.
So I went round and round some more.
The problem: The reed has a slot cut into it (keyway) that makes it so the call self-tunes...there's a bump in the guts that the keyway fits onto and that bump has broken off. It was broken when I got it.
They insist the call don't have purple guts and won't send me the piece I need to fix it.
Therefore I am going to post a video on Youtube of me destroying the call that "don't have purple guts".
I actually talked to Buck Gardner himself in e-mails and he can't figure out how to get me that one little piece of a goose call. It's a cheap call and not worth fixing I guess. I'll NEVER buy another product with Buck Gardner's name on it. Am I color blind? The U.S. Army tested me and they said no.

so Ive got one of the ban era century c15 ar 15's basically a olympic arms reciever with a colt parts kit screwed to it.
its got the 20 inch barrel, triangle handguard, plastic stock etc. basically what you see in all the early vietnam movies. I guess the upper is a A2? with the fixed carry handle.
I tried using it on a trade before and once you say century you get a quick no thanks. So the thinking is... how about swapping the reciever to a dpms or other reciever so the dreaded"century " name disappears? would that make the rifle more tradeable?
The rifle is great, shoots anything you feed it, never had a issue with it. Ive also got a few century AK's and each one works, goes bang, and picked up a M1 garand with a century reciever. Read some bad, some good about them on the web, A guy I know has 4 M1's 1 of them is a century gun and he has absolutly no issues. I got it in trade so Im happy with it. jim

California Senator Dianne Feinstein, who hosted the recent Obama-Clinton meeting, told a TV audience she believes the two former rivals should combine forces in order to present a truly united Democratic ticket. "Hillary Clinton is well known, certainly she had the popular vote in this election. That is something and that is something tremendous." She insisted there was no intention on her part to dictate to Obama, but "ll I can say is I agree with (Pennsylvania Governor ) Ed Rendell, that if you really want a winning ticket, this is it."
There is little doubt a portion of Hlllary Clinton voters are alienated and will either sit out the election or vote for McCain in spite despite their spite hurting their own interests. People allow emotions to take over their common sense when it comes to voting. Regardless of what Obama desires, he might well take the Feinstein advice.

DIY fountain
The soft splash of a fountain brings life and motion to the backyard. It attracts more birds than still water alone, and its soothing sound track transforms your space into a peaceful retreat.
We built the fountain pictured here for about $160 (not including stones), using two glazed pots (a shallow bowl nests snugly inside the larger pot), a bucket, and a small recirculating pump.

I'm in the midst of putting together my second (and hopefully more permanent!) ROTJ suit, and it's my first time doing any amount of rattlecan work. I'm aware of how to do masking, layering, the stencils, etc... what I'm not clear on is the actual technique to use for each layer.
I prepped each piece by trimming and sanding down to 600 grit, which made everything nice and smooth. However once I put on a light coat of krylon primer, things were no longer smooth.. they felt quite rough and gritty. So, I lightly sanded with 600 grit again, put another coat of primer, and sanded again. I've now put a light coat of silver, and while it's certainly not at gritty as the primer, it's still not smooth. Should I be sanding lightly between coats to keep things smooth, or just keep layering and hope the clear coats even things out?
Naturally my concern is that if I sand the coloured paints, even lightly, that it will dull and score the finish. I'm aiming to replicate some of the amazing paint work done here on TDH, but feel like I'm missing some fundamental thing.
I'd appreciate comments and advice!

I was looking at some clone stuff on ebay and ran across this seller (Star Fortress Productions) can anyone comment on his quality / accuracy / durability / accessibility?
Looks like his feedback is in good shape, so no worries about scams, but I wanna know as much as I can before I plunk down any money on a clone.
Thanks so much!

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by jzchen, Nov 3, 2007.
For me........his Piston's highlight was playing the piano.
Long career that seemed even longer due to the two parts surrounding the injury that took forever to heal.
That pic that Dre posted with Grant dunking looks like it could have been taken at the Palace THIS season.
Nah. It's way too many people in the building for it to be this season.
I'm sure that the "announced" attendance was 24,246 - sellout!
Yeah...I'm not a fan of telling people they have to show some kind of post-career love for a guy who decided he would "save himself" (nothing like seeing "fans" commenting back then and giving that advice) and go win elsewhere. DET wasn't good enough for you...so, don't expect me to wax poetic about how much I appreciate you. He played here once....meh.
Hill did us a huge favor by leaving. We would have gotten stuck with that cap crippling contract and probably would not have been able to assemble that 04 team.
so did BOB MCADOO, KENNY SMITH, DENNIS RODMAN, DAVE DEBUSSCHERE, GENE SHUE, RICKY PIERCE, etc.....even DAVE BING, OUR MAJOR forced the trade that sent him to Washington for Kevin Porter. Grant Hill was the 5th best small forward I ever seen. He was the Billy Sims of the NBA. He left it on the court for the Pistons and did nothing that LeBron James didnt do when he left Cleveland. Grant Hill was awesome! Nuff said.
I have fond memories of Grant as a Piston. ...and not so fond memories of him leaving my favorite team for the promise of something better in Orlando. Nothing more - nothing less. I always thought that old-man-karma dealt with G. Hill pretty well for dissing the 'D'.
My impression of Grant Hill is that he was the Barry Sanders of the Palace or AH. Did all he could do to win for the Pistons just as Barry did, and got nothing to show for it, but a few all star appearances and temporary leads Pistons in stat categories that may have been broken or still stand as the leader. Barry left before his time when he could have stayed and given the Lions a better chance to win as could have Hill, but the Org didn't provide either of them the coaching or support players to get that winning attitude and they both bolted. I remembered when GHill was about to leave, I said if the Pistons put up appreciation Hill billboards around town, he may stick around, but instead Orlando put theirs up around the town for both Hill and Duncan, and Grant & Tamia bit on it, where as Duncan stayed in San Antonio and got three more rings. We got Ben Wallace and that one ring that still fans outside Detroit think was a fluke...
He may never play again, but it cannot be denied that people love CB. Ex-Detroit Pistons guard Chauncey Billups humbled to be named NBA's teammate of the year | Detroit Free Press | freep.com
24 years ago today, the Bad Boys ruled getting their first taste of NBA championship Champagne or Cooks as they called it in The Wood as this picture takes place at the Fabulous Forum in Inglewood California...
If it ain't ruff it ain't right.........
The guy on the right looks like he could be Mike Abdenour's son.
On this day 23 years ago June 14th, 1990, The Bad Boys defeated the Portland Trailblazers 92-90 as Vinnie Johnson hit a jumper from the right to cap a 9-0 run to win the game. The Blazers had one more shot to tie or win the game with but with only 3 seconds on the clock, the shot was off the Pistons had completed the back to back championship and duplicated what the Showtime Lakers had done in 1987 and 88. The most memorable quote I remember from the series was Clyde Drexler's post game 2 comments where he said "we are not coming back to Detroit to play" after the Blazers won game two to tie the series at 1. The Pistons proved Drexler a fortune teller as the Pistons became the first road team to sweep three games in the 2-3-2 format, which been adapted 5 years earlier in 1985. I don't have the stats, but the Pistons had not won in Portland 5 or 6 years (maybe more) so we understand why Clyde had made the dubious statement.
Thanks again Chuck D!
Oooof, this is going to leave a mark: New Nets coach Jason Kidd invites ex-Pistons coach Lawrence Frank to join staff | The Detroit News
Darvin Ham joins Budenholzer's staff. Budenholzer adds Darvin Ham to coaching staff - Yahoo! Sports
I thought Frank would have been an awkward choice for Mo Cheeks' staff ...so no big deal.

So after i found out that the original center square greeblie part actually wasnt ever found (yet) and SR's was made in CAD..i decided to make my own. I want to offer Fett greeblies again and dont want to have the AM plugs and not the center square. So using a combination of seven's drawing here on TDH and that one screen cap where you can see it pretty clear, i managed to get something im mostly happy with. The internal parts are a little bigger than i wanted, but i think this will do.
I did this with all ABS sheet. Cut with the dremel hobby knife and a some sandpaper. It still needs final smoothing out and has to be made more shallow, but other than that, this will be what will come with my Stock greeblie sets.
One of the internals
The empty "box"
I made the breech disc with a cap from a art supply bottle and some wood handles from foam brushes.
Here you can see the V8 arm fits perfect on the smaller foam brush handle
I marked the center of the cap, and cut off 2 pieces of the brush handles
I drilled out a hole just big enough to fit the larger handle piece and wedged it into the cap
Then i glued the smaller piece of the other handl to the top of that
I then trimmed down the depth of the cap
I plan to fill the back with resin to get the thickness within the entire cap and then drill the 2 holes.
I will make molds of these parts and offer them soon!
I have found part V8 arms and AM plug molds ready to go now. :)

The discovery of small, fresh, conical piles of sawdust in your home can provoke one of those 'sick in the stomach' feelings. Wood borers!
All borers will do some kind of damage to timber, but all is not lost – there are 'good borers' and 'bad borers'. You need to be aware of the differences between the two groups, because 'good borer' damage will be cheap to repair, but it may be expensive to repair the damage done by 'bad borers'.
The 'good borers' are beetles whose damage is limited to the first five years after the timber was milled. They attack mainly soft wood or moist decaying timber, and the damage done to the wood is superficial; it can be fixed by filling with putty and a quick repaint.
The 'bad borers' are beetles that can attack hardwood or softwood of any age. The damage is often structural, requiring complete replacement of the timbers, which are often floor boards or major support beams.
Ambrosia or Pinhole Borer BeetleThe Ambrosia or Pinhole Borer, Platypus australis, belongs to the Curculionidae family and has a biology that differs from most other wood borers. In other wood-boring beetles, it is the larvae (grubs) that bore through the wood and create the galleries. In the case of the Ambrosia Beetle, the adult female bores into the timber, creating a central tunnel with side branches. The larvae do not feed on the wood; they eat the fungus that grows on the moist timber gallery excavated by the adult female. The fungus causes a staining of the wood, which is characteristic of Ambrosia Beetle attack. Since the fungus the larva feeds on requires a moist environment, attack is confined to living or recently felled timber. Damage is only superficial.

Dampwood BorerThe Dampwood Borer, Hadrobregmus australiensis, belongs to the Anobiidae group of borers. It is a comparatively large beetle that attacks both softwoods and hardwoods, but only wood that is moist or decayed by wood-rotting fungi. As such, the wood affected by the borer is already damaged and therefore the borer is not considered to initiate damage. Typically in a household situation, damp-affected wood occurs in the subfloor parts of the building. Once the decayed wood has been removed and the reason for the damp condition is fixed, no further Dampwood Borer damage will occur.

Longicorn beetlesThese are the cerambycid or longicorn beetles, so named because of their long antennae. Most species attack living trees. The boring is done by the larva (beetle grub), which may take 1–3 years to complete its development. Sometimes, the live tree that was originally attacked may have become part of a house or made into furniture, and the owner can get quite a surprise when a large beetle emerges. Damage is only superficial.

Powder Post BeetleThis lyctid borer attacks the sapwood of susceptible hardwoods, but not softwoods. The female lays her eggs in the exposed end-pores of freshly cut wood, or in a living tree that has been damaged. Borer attack is confined to about the first five years following felling of the logs, or when the timber moisture drops below 20%. The larvae feed along the grain of the wood and never attack the heartwood, so the damage is superficial.
Exit holes of the Powderpost BeetlePhotographer: Kate Sparks, Source: Museum Victoria
Particoloured Auger BeetleThe auger beetles are bostrichid borers. They attack only recently felled logs and green timber, and only the sapwood of hardwood and softwood is susceptible to attack. The larvae feed along the grain of the wood, so the damage is superficial. The larvae (beetle grubs) produce a fine powdery frass (insect poo). The Particoloured Auger Beetle, Mesoxylion collaris, is the most frequently encountered species. It often bores its way out through the plasterboard during the first summer after a house has been constructed or renovated.

Wood-boring WeevilThis beetle, Pentaminus rhyncoliformis, belongs to the Curculionidae or weevil group of beetles. It attacks only softwoods, such as pine skirting boards. However, unlike the larvae of the 'good borers', which feed along the grain, the larvae of the Wood-boring Weevil meander throughout the wood, producing a honeycomb of tunnels that destroys the integrity of the timber.

'Honeycomb' damage cause by larvae of the Wood-boring WeevilPhotographer: Kate Sparks, Source: Museum Victoria
Furniture BeetleThe beetle, Anobium punctatum, is an anobiid borer and can cause serious structural damage to timber. Attack occurs mainly in softwoods used in areas such as flooring, panelling and furniture. Unlike the 'good borers', this beetle can attack old dry wood. The female lays eggs in cracks and crevices or abraded areas in the timber, and the larval period may take several years. The reason it can cause serious damage is that the larvae feed in a meandering manner, producing a honeycomb of tunnels through the wood and destroying the structural integrity of the timber.

Hi Andrew, Museum Victoria offers a free identification service. To send an enquiry, click on the 'Ask the experts' link and then on 'Identifications' in the menu at left. Please provide us with images and, prior to sending us your enquiry, please read our identification guidelines.
Hi Nate, if you still have the borer it may be a good idea to get it to us and we can then try and identify it for you. Some borers attack only rotting timber, some will only cause cosmetic damage and some can cause structural damage. You can bring the beetle into the Discovery Centre daily between 10 and 4.30, or you can post it to Discovery Centre PO Box 666 Melbourne 3001. Please place the beetle in a small plastic container which won't get crushed in the post with your contact details.
Hi Tim, there are many different species in the family Bostrichidae and without an image we could not attempt to say what species it may be. Museum Victoria does not have expertise on Bostrichid beetles from Lebanon. Is there a Natural History Museum you can contact in Lebanon who may have knowledge of the local fauna?
Hi Monica, the most important thing is to determine whether the evidence of insects is old and nothing to be concerned about or a current infestation. Obviously if you can find any larvae or adult beetles in the furniture collect them and post them to Discovery Centre PO Box 666 Melbourne 3001 in a small plastic container which won't get crushed in the mail. The CSIRO have also produced a helpful website on wood borer infestation.
Hi Monica, the Discovery Centre is located on the lower ground level of the Melbourne Museum at the Rathdowne Steet end of the building. We are open daily between 10 am and 4.30 pm. Look forward to receiving your specimens.
Hi Mary, you could try putting sticky tape over the holes and see if you manage to collect any beetles that maybe emerging that you can then send to us for identification. The other thing you can do is if you can tell us the type of wood you have, if you are aware of any damp issues with the wood, the size of the holes, i.e. 1-2 mm in diameter, 3-4 mm etc and whether they are round or oval in size we may be able to make some suggestions. If you are able to take some good quality photos you could also send those to email@example.com
Hi Andrea
You are welcome to see if our experts can identify the borers via our Ask the Experts page; yon this page you can upload a photograph, but it would need to be a clear image of the animal itself rather than of the damage to the tree. We may be able to identify the animal responsible, but we don't provide control advice, so we may only be able to partly help...but we are happy to try!
Hi Adam, if you can collect any beetles from the timber we are happy to have a look at them and try and confirm the identity for you.
At the museum we use freezing almost exclusively, but we have the advantage of a walk in minus 20 degrees freezer. Depending on the size of the object you could try freezing it. Another option would be to heat treat the wood by placing the object in black plastic and placing it in the sun (obviously this works best in summer). The Department of Agriculture site 'Approved treatments for timber and wooden related products' is a good resource. This also has links to people who can undertake treatment, although this may be more in the context of people undertaking industrial scale treatment.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
Hi Max, This sort of information is not really kept by Australian state or federal institutions, but rather by the issuing entity which in this case would ...

i could help if needed
I'd Be willing to help out depending on my volenteer schedule for the 501st.
Sounds interesting!
My wife and I will be there all (4) days.
We would be willing to volunteer at the TDH booth.
Thank you! We will be working on getting the application together for the deadline and when we do get an approval, then we will work on getting folks assigned to help us out at the booth.
I´ll be at C4 all 4 days and would be proud to be a volunteer for the TDH-booth,
tk2647 from Germany
Count me in!
Actually I forgot to mention that I shall be there for the Fan club members day as well.
I was looking at the Ripcode's photos of him and Jeremy Bulloch a moment ago and I instantly thought how cool it would be to get a photo of Mr. Bulloch and the TDH crew at C4. Or even all the Fetts" and BH's actors that may make an appearance at C4. I understand how hard it would be to set something like this up and how likely it truly is of course.
If all goes well I will be there. I might not be able to man the booths as this would be my first con and I want to wander. I may stop by to chat though.
I'm in.

Khesh City floats above the uninhabitable surface of the planet Vellern. It is a city of contrasts, with the rich and powerful living on the luxurious surface and the poor and downtrodden forced to live in the Undertow. The city is a democracy by assassination, where unpopular politicians can be removed by official killers known as Angels. When an Angel is brutally murdered, it falls to her nephew, Taro, to learn the reasons why.
Principles of Angels, the debut novel by Jaine Fenn and the first in her loosely-linked Hidden Empire sequence, is a far-future SF novel centred on two contrasting protagonists: Taro, a male prostitute trying to avenge his murdered aunt, and Elarn, a high-class singer who has been blackmailed into travelling to the city to commit a heinous crime. Taro lives in an underworld of crime and exploitation, but is idealistic, which leads him into becoming an agent for the Minister, the city's enigmatic ruler. Elarn is a more civilised character, out to do the right thing but trapped in a situation not of her own making, one which could have severe repercussions for the entire human race. Other major characters include the Minister himself, the Angel Nual and detective/info-broker Meraint. Fenn does an effective job of distinguishing and motivating these individuals, although the focus is firmly on the two main characters (who alternate POV chapters for much of the novel).
A thousand years before the events of the novel, mankind was ruled by an alien species, the Sidhe. Humanity broke free of their control and apparently destroyed them but, as the title of the series indicates, this may not be the case. Fenn does a good job of filling us in on this backstory by seeding the information into the text naturally, not relying on info-dumps. In doing so, she creates an intriguing universe which the reader definitely wants to see more of.
The plot unfolds at a good pace, helped by the book's relatively concise length (the novel is just over 300 pages long in paperback) which keeps events moving nicely. The writing is reasonable, though given the weird and unusual nature of the setting possibly a little too straightforward. Ultimately, events unfold in interesting enough a manner to make the sequels - Consorts of Heaven, Guardians of Paradise, Bringer of Light and Queen of Nowhere - appealing.
Principles of Angels (***½) is a decent debut novel, with well-drawn characters, a memorable setting and an interesting premise. The book suffers a little from too tight a focus on the two principals, which results in some of the more interesting side-cast being neglected, and also from a writing style that feels like it should have been bolder rather than settling for decent. It is still an entertaining book which effectively sets up a fascinating universe. The novel is available now in the UK and USA.
It is a time of tribulation for Kerin. Discriminated against in her village for the circumstances of her birth, her son Damaru is skytouched and will soon be blessed by being raised to the ranks of the Consorts. Events are complicated by the discovery of an unconscious man in the mere outside the village. As Kerin helps him regain his health, his memory comes back in fits and starts...and indicates that Kerin's world and everything she knows may be a lie.
Consorts of Heaven is the second novel in Jaine Fenn's Hidden Empire sequence (which currently stands at four books, with a fifth out this year). It is not a follow-up to Principles of Angels, instead taking place roughly simultaneously with it but in a different part of the galaxy. It can be read independently of the first volume. The first novel was more overtly SF, with a dash of the New Weird added to it, but this second volume is more akin to traditional fantasy. It's set in a much more primitive world where some people have abilities that seem similar to magic.
As with her first novel, Fenn has created an interesting world based on some solid foundations, and seeing how this lines up with what was established in Principles of Angels can be fun. Also, as with her first novel, Fenn undercuts the premise and fascinating backstory with a fairly indifferent prose style. This is made even worse by featuring some considerably less-interesting characters than the first book. The major protagonists - Kerin, the amnesiac Sais and the priest Einon - have potential, but ultimately end up being fairly straightforward and predictable. The commentary on the planet's problems, such as being in the grip of a religious theocracy and its issues with rampant sexism, also disappointingly never rise above the obvious.
There are a few nice touches. A traditional SF mega-structure turns up later on in an interesting guise and, despite the primitive setting, we get a lot more information on how the basics of Fenn's SF universe work (such as how FTL is employed in the setting). But ultimately the novel, whilst certainly not disastrous, is not as engaging as its predecessor.
Consorts of Heaven (***) is available now in the UK and USA.
Taro and Nual are Angels, formidable assassins who have discovered that the Sidhe - the long-defeated former slavemasters of humanity - have secretly returned and are undertaking clandestine operations against human interests. Their attempts to expose the truth to the rest of human society lead them into a meeting with Jarek Reen, a space trader who has had his own run-in with the Sidhe, and the formation of an alliance to bring the Sidhe down.
Guardians of Paradise is the third (of, currently, five) novels in the Hidden Empire sequence. The first two books in the sequence featured completely different characters operating on different worlds, whilst this third book brings them together and sees them pool resources to defeat the Sidhe. You can read either Principles of Angels or Consorts of Heaven first, but you need to have read both to fully appreciated Guardians of Paradise.
Like its two predecessors, Guardians of Paradise is entertainingly-written and is an easy read. Unfortunately, it lacks the dash of New Weird that made Principles of Angels so promising and threatens to languish at the same 'nice but unexciting' level as Consorts of Heaven for much of its length. The bulk of the book takes place on Kama Nui, an exotic water world which serves much of human space as a resort planet. Its inhabitants are restrained from killing (even during wars and political intrigue) by severe social customs, which reduces the level of tension to our characters (lessened even more by Nual's formidable powers) but does increase the plausibility that they could survive the situations they encounter on the planet (especially Taro, who is still green as grass in his role as an assassin).
Characterisation of the central trio of characters is adequate, but also a bit perfunctory. Other characters flitter in at the edges of the story (especially the Sidhe), but a major problem with the book is that there is little feeling of a bigger culture or society beyond what is going on in the plot. The worldbuilding is highly concentrated on the areas around our characters, but our knowledge of the wider human society beyond that is almost non-existent. Whilst this efficient and certainly keeps the page count down, it also harms immersion in the story.
That said, an uninspiring first half takes a dramatic upward swing once our characters move into a position to confront the Sidhe directly. A rather unexpected element of horror enters the story at this point, with the revelation that there may be more threats out there than just the Sidhe, and suddenly the story and the writing kick more decisively into gear. The final section of the book is more enjoyable than what came before, with the characters and storyline clicking more decisively, and things end on a ambiguous, disturbing note.
Guardians of Paradise (***½) recovers from a stodgy first half to become a decent, compelling SF novel. It's still a bit lightweight compared to the bigger names in the genre, but certainly there are signs of Fenn developing into a more interesting and talented author. The novel is available now in the UK and USA.
Jarek, Taro and Nual's attempts to expose and defeat the machinations of the alien Sidhe continue. In alliance with the Minister of Vellern, their latest mission takes them to Aleph, the refuge of the male Sidhe after the devastating war with the females. However, the trio's assumption that the enemy of their enemy is their friend is soon shown to be hopelessly naive. Meanwhile, on the primitive world of Serenein, other allies against the Sidhe find their attempts to keep their people safe may soon be tested...
Bringer of Light is the fourth novel in Jaine Fenn's Hidden Empire sequence, which currently stands at five books. The series so far as been varied in quality, with great ideas often battling against so-so prose and a mixed bag of characterisation (our protagonists are well-drawn, but everyone else is sketchier). The previous book ended with a left-field revelation about a threat to humanity that dwarfs the Sidhe in magnitude that was fairly horrific and executed with deft skill. Whilst that threat is not much expanded upon in Bringer of Light, the upturn in writing quality that delivered it does at least continue through this volume.
The story is bigger this time, with Fenn juggling multiple storylines featuring established characters (Jarek, Taro and Nual visiting Aleph, Urien and Kerin on Serenein) and some newcomers as well. Ifanna's storyline on Serenein is an interesting addition to the mix, less of an antagonist than a well-meaning person drawn into cross-purposes against Kerin's goals (and from Ifanna's POV, fully understandably). All of this results in a somewhat longer book than the previous ones in the series (though at 400 pages it's hardly Peter F. Hamilton territory) and Fenn does a good job of handling the larger scope.
The previous problems in the series do remain, if less prevalently. There's too much use of modern colloquialism in the language and dialogue, which doesn't really sell the idea of the story being set seven millennia hence. There's a certain casual lightness to the story that makes it feel slight, despite some of the ideas and concepts being presented being fairly dark and disturbing. However, these issues are reduced in stature. In particular, Ifanna's story has some fairly unexpected twists and a disturbing - and somewhat tragic - ending that is a step above what we've seen previously. There's also an excellent twist at the end of the book that leaves things in a very interesting place for the following volumes.
Bringer of Light (***½) is a stronger volume in the series than what has come before, continuing to show the author's talents and confidence growing. That said, the feeling remains that the series has yet to hit its full potential. The novel is available now in the UK and USA.
The Sidhe, who once enslaved and ruled all of humanity, have returned and inserted themselves into key positions of power right across human-controlled space. Only a few are aware of their return, and the data expert Bez is working hard to bring about their downfall. Her plan requires perfect timing, the recruitment of trustworthy allies and, if necessary, blackmail. But when her strongest ally apparently betrays her, Bez is left to face the Sidhe alone.
Queen of Nowhere is the fifth novel in the Hidden Empire sequence. This sequence is interesting because it tries to be a fairly tightly-serialised space opera whilst trying to make each book a stand-alone, with the focus moving between different groups of characters. Queen of Nowhere brings Bez, a fairly minor character in the earlier books, into sharp relief (Jarek, Taro and Nual, our 'regular' protagonists, are relegated to bit-players in Bez's story). Compared to the frequent point of view changes and shifting between planets of the previous volume, Bringer of Light, Queen of Nowhere benefits from a tight focus on Bez and her storyline.
That said, Queen of Nowhere also depicts events on a fairly large scale, some of them happening many light-years from where Bez is. The book's structure intercuts between Bez and brief scenes on other planets as members of Bez's network get ready for the decisive moment of action and their enemies try to protect themselves. It's an efficient structure which helps get across a big story in a modest page count.
Fenn's biggest weakness - her fairly prosaic, indifferent prose style - has been addressed, with more colour and strangeness in her descriptions. A visit to a planet with both segregation of the genders but also a relaxed attitude to sex is fairly vividly described. Her characterisation has also taken a big step forwards. Bez may be the most compelling protagonist Fenn has created so far, her very ordinariness and lack of material resources (despite her immense data-mining abilities) or superpowers being contrasted against Fenn's more familiar characters. Action sequences are handled with skill and there's a general feeling of improvement across the board.
The main weakness is that this is part of a series, despite the author's attempts to make things approachable for a newcomer. Indeed, newcomers may be frustrated by what they'll see as deus ex machina (such as Taro and Nual's Angel powers) whilst long-term readers may be disappointed by a lack of development on dangling plot threads from earlier in the series. The 'greater threat' which even dwafs the Sidhe and was introduced in Guardians of Paradise goes completely unmentioned, and there's certainly the feeling in the book's conclusion that we still have some way to go to reach the endgame, despite some elements being wrapped up in this volume.
Queen of Nowhere (***½) is, by a whisker, Fenn's best novel to date. It is available now in the UK and USA.

Fremont County Question 1A
Following where the money goes
FREMONT COUNTY, Colo - Fremont County Sheriff James Beiker wants to be as transparent as possible to reinforce why question 1A on the November ballot is vital for his department and for the safety of the community. I sat down with him to talk about the ballot initiative.
Sheriff Beiker says the cameras aren't working and the doors are sometimes unexpectly opening on their own in the detention facility, "Some of them have been worked on or scabbed together. Some have never been replaced." Two point eight million dollars is expected to be raised every year for ten years by the sales tax hike in Fremont County. The tax hike sunsets in the year 2023. It's one cent per one hundred dollars that would be channeled to help the Sheriff's Office with its laundry list of needs.
One key item on the list is adding staff that had to be reduced over the years because there wasn't enough money in the budget to keep them. Sheriff Beiker tells me, "We've cut so deep operationally and so many positions that sadly the nearly three million in estimated sales tax money every year will go to restore many of the cuts over the years." 16 positions will be re-filled and four more staffers including a detective will be hired on to the Sheriff's Office. Sheriff Beiker says he never wants to have this conversation with a parent because there aren't enough staffers, "Having a conversation with the parents of a victim of child sexual assault and saying I can't get to your case right now because of the lack of staffing levels, but we'll get to it."
I also asked Fremont County Commissioner Debbie Bell if the money raised from this proposed sales tax hike could funnel into another line item in the Fremont County budget. She assured me all the money raised from Question 1A will go to where it's intended, the Sheriff's Office.

Daugirdas Hotel
4 T Daugirdo str, Kaunas
0.5 km from
Rp 789,867+
Location, atmosphere, quiet environment
Very new, modern, clean, middle of Old town. To shopping area approx. 10 - 15 min. on foot.City town hall and Castle round the corner. Not too big, not to small, ideal for short city break.
This hotel is a great value which can probably be said of most hotels in Kaunas. While not super fancy it has a nice warm and cozy feeling to it and is in a great location in the old town and near the river. Consider upgrading to a superior room. The towels could use an upgrade.
Comfortable room Great breakfast No in-room coffee Wash cloths only provided on request Clean room but could have been better
Big room, nice wintergarden
my wife and i stayed here in november,the location is supurb,the staff were helpfull and freindly.If we go back to Kounas this would be the hotel for us again
An excellent hotel, this matched with the value for money make this a must stay, we ate in the hotel for two whole days. Will be going back next available time off..
Very well located in old town. Easy walking distance to all the best restaurants in Kaunas - but just far enough away to be quiet at night. Its right by the river. The building is partly a restored historic building, with a modern addition. The entire inside is wonderfully restored. I stayed in one of the rooms on the new side. They are large and comfortable. Bathroom was large and clean. Room came with a balcony. Staff is friendly and helpful. An incredible value for what I paid. The shower is integrated with a full bath tub - which is great if you want a bath. But the shower end is kind of narrow. So it was a little cramped for my feet. Breakfast is only ok. The selection is not great compared to some of the larger hotels in Kaunas.
The hotel was excellent with service minded staff and placed very convenientley in the Old City with all sights and tourist attractions nearby.
It's a business hotel with good room and a good restaurant. Easy to find and good parking facilities around the corner.
Restaraunt No double bed. only 2 singles.The Room was noisy because of building works going on beside.I know this is not the hotels fault but i dont think the hotel was that busy and i think they could have given us the option of another room away from the building noise.
architecture, services, closest to city center difficult to find the hotel using the internet information described the shortest way in Kaunas
Very nice and spacious room, good staff, tasty breakfast, good value for money
friendly staff,excellent location particularly,clean & comfortable,good buffet breakfast,quiet
Location. No roomservis.
Hotel is very well located in Kaunas old town. Right around the corner from all the better bars and restaurants in Kaunas, and in the most attractive part of the city. But far enough away that its still pretty quiet there at night. Room was large and comfortable. I got a suite for a really good price - two large rooms and a large comfortable bathroom. Staff is very nice and helpful. I checked out in the middle of the night and they had a packed lunch for me - which is a nice touch. I prepaid for the breakfast - but it was pretty mediocre. I didn't bother with it after the first day. Breakfast at some other local hotels is better. Boring decor. Its all nice functional hotel style furniture - but no pictures or anything interesting in the room.
not four star
A very cosy hotel in a quiet place. The reception was good and friendly, excellent, spacious and clean rooms, nice location of the hotel. 1.Contrary to the request (made 5 days prior to our arrival) when booking the hotel, we did not receive an extra bed for a child! 2.The staff of the hotel restaurant really needs more training!
the silence, the breakfast, the place. Nothing
Toilet seat was broken.
It was really nice hotel in perfect location. Nice breakfast and lovely design. We booked double room with double bed and we got two single beds put together. Not very nice for 4-star hotel..!:(
Great location, nice clean rooms. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would recommend it to anyone staying in Kaunas.
Good access to the main town centre whilst being located in a quiet area. The hotel was very clean and the staff extremely helpful.
Clean, tidy, staff friendly & helpful, central location only one key for room
It was small, simply furnished but spotlessly clean. Location was excellent for the Old Town.
There was one very noise group, it was rather difficut to get sleep in night time.....
Nice breakfast area Stained towels(2 times), Cleanliness of shower( hair) ,Showeer cabin's drain(was fixed after we complained-thank you)
The man in the reseption, he was very helpful and polite. The room was quite ascetic.
Very friendly welcome despite the late check in time. Our room (for 3 people) was a good size and quite comfortable. Clean and modern furnishings. Location was excellent in the old town of Kaunas.
I liked the hotel staff most of all, very helpful and friendly. I also like the cosy atmosphere of the hotel. Perhaps not anything I did not like, but I could have certain reservations towards the wooden floor which was 'too loud' and you could hear anybody in the hotel by their footsteps.
Very nice and friendly hotel staff; quit but very central location; cosy and large room; flexibility of the hotel staff concerning the check-out time. A bit poor breakfast: little choice, no diversity.
Everything was wonderful
The location is perfect, in the heart of the old town. The breakfast could be improved.
Very friendly staff, excellent breakfast, very good rooms and pleasant beds. Windows keep streetnoise excellent outside.
Very good location Unexperienced staff
Situation of hotel was excellent. Breakfast was extra and minimal with no choice of food.
Staff are helpful and friendly. They helped me a lot. It's not located right at the center of the city, and that provides a piece of quiet in the evening. I liked it. The shower cartain in the bathroom is poor. Once you take a shower, the toilet and the whole bathroom floor gets wet. Those who will stay at this hotel will need to bring a pair of slippers.
Clean, comfortable, budget hotel in old part of town. Walking distance to bars and restaurants in Kaunas. It does what it says on the tin - it's a budget hotel in a good location. I'd ask for a bigger towel, or two of the smaller towels at the same time. Perhaps I was unlucky but only had a small hand towel for shower after arriving late at night.
The staff were extremely helpful and put themselves out to answer questions and fulfill requests. The breakfast is diverse and generous for four euros with excellent coffee. The position of the hotel on the booking.com map does not conform to reality or the hotel's own website. But even so, the hotel is well situated in the old town.
This hotel is very convenient for the historical old town of Kaunas and is set in a very charming area, close to good restaurants and quaint shops and bars. I found the staff very pleasant and helpful and it was great to have internet access when I needed it. Tucked away from the main street and traffic sounds, etc also made the hotel appealing to me. It has a light, clean, neat and modern feeling to it.

Can't believe I missed the church photo comp! I am getting worryingly dopey. I'll try and think of something original for long exposure - I bet no one has thought of doing flowing water yet
I thought I'd post one of my favourite photos in one of favourite churches which is St. Mary de Haura in Shoreham-by-Sea c.1103. Well worth a visit if you're near Brighton.
I have no idea how to go about adjusting B&W photos, so I just let photoshop auto level it.

Rub Rub Rub
Shower Scrub
Scrubby sea salt and mimosa wash
Halfway between a scrub and a shower gel, this delicately scented wash gives you the best of both worlds. Fine sea salt gently exfoliates and leaves you smooth as can be, while fresh lemon juice and lemon oil brighten skin. The soft floral scent of mimosa, jasmine and orange flower will keep you coming back for more, but it's subtle enough that it won't compete with whatever perfume you choose to wear. Scrub a dub dub!

Hi all,
I'm back after a long break from backtrack.
Originally I used it to prove how insecure our WEP network was! but now I have a new problem that I hope Backtrack can help me with.
Our office consists of many PC's, using D-Link Switches to connect to our router using ethernet (we binned wireless).
recently out network has been sapped at seemingly random intervals during the day. With pings to bbc reaching 1500ms. My aim is is to pinpoint where the bandwidth is going! and to which PC.
Is there a way that backtrack can help me with this. A solution or a point in the right direction would be much appreciated and lesson my time on google.

.22lr semi and 15k+ rounds.
Printable View
.22lr semi and 15k+ rounds.
1. Saiga .223, military AK converted with bullet guide, plus an adapter for using standard AR mags. Ammo and mags plentiful, legendary AK function and reliability. Preferably with quality folding stock.
2. Pump action 12 gauge (Mossy 500, Remy 870, etc.) with 18"cylinder bore barrel. Ammo universally available. Top folding stock for packability an option. 12 gauge flare rounds are a good choice if you anticipate running into zombies or need to "light something up".
3. Glock handgun, 9MM (my choice is Glock 19) not because it is the best cartridge (it is not), but because it is universally available and mags are as well. It is the "AR" of handguns, only super reliable.
4. Packable or compact .22 rifle. Ammo universally available. Makes little noise compared to others. Can harvest a wide variety of game, including deer with well placed shot.
Hmmm. Bears some further consideration.
I have narrowed down my choice to a singular weapon.
Vz 58.
I think it can take on all comers.
I love my VZ, beats the AK's hands down, mine will be going with me.

The average American diet is generally fattening and unhealthy as Fast food restaurants and grocery store junk food tempts people every day. Fighting obesity is an uphill battle that never seems to end.
Fortunately, as Dr Oz told his viewers the BEST Garcinia Cambogia may be just the ticket to help Americans win their battle with bulge. This new fat blaster is backed by several studies that confirm its effectiveness.
Known as the Malabar tamarind or brindle berry, this miracle fruit has been used in folk medicine for centuries. Hydroxycitric acid or HCA is the active ingredient responsible for weight loss. HCA is extracted from the fruit rind.
It ranges in color from yellow to green to orange. Although the fruit is an Indonesia native, it also grows in Africa, India and other parts of Asia. The people in these parts of the world recognize Garcinia for its ability to inhibit appetite.
How Does HCA Promote Weight Loss?
The hydroxycitric acid in Pure Garcinia Gambonia extract helps people lose weight by blocking citrate lyase, a metabolism enzyme. Once blocked, the enzyme can no longer convert carbohydrates into stored fat. Halting fat production also lowers cholesterol.
Garcinia Cambogia also increases levels of serotonin in the brain, which aids in appetite suppression and also improves mood. This makes the Garcinia weight loss remedy ideal for emotional and reactive eaters. It also helps dieters sleep better at night.
Scientific Research and Clinical Trials
A recent study followed 60 obese people for eight weeks of Garcinia Cambogia supplementation. To ensure accurate results, the random study was placebo-controlled. According to the findings, those who added hydroxycitric acid to their diets lost nearly 14 pounds — more than twice the weight loss experienced by the placebo group.
Another study showed a significant reduction in triglycerides and bad cholesterol levels. At the same time, the hydroxycitric acid increased serotonin production and good cholesterol levels. While hydroxycitric acid can help people lose up to four pounds a month, the supplement is three times more effective when combined with exercise and healthy eating.
Side Effects and Safety Concerns
Although he does not endorse supplement brands, Doctor Oz recommends Garcinia extract as a safe and effective diet aid. The only known Garcinia Cambogia side effects are nausea, stomach pain and headaches. A very small minority of users report such reactions.
To avoid allergic reactions and serious side effects, dieters should not take Garcinia supplements with prescription medications. Doctor-approved supplements are best, and doctors can recommend safe dosages for optimum results.
Help for Finding the Best Garcinia Supplier
It's clear that garcinia cambogia extract is something that actually works.
That's great news for the millions of people who need to lose weight, but what's not great is that there are many scams out there.
There are suppliers who who sell supplements that have absolutely no quality control in place.
You could easily waste your money or even end up putting your health in harm's way.
So how do you know which extract to buy?
There are several things to look for (outlined below) and the best extract we've found is clearly the one sold on Alivebynature.com.
You can also find it on Amazon, but we've noticed that Alive normally has discount codes up on their site to make it even a better deal.

the op
had that been my dog and my situation i would have simply led him away from the food bowl and done some obedience with him
a few sits and then pet, then remove the leash and let him go eat
you lost a valuable training session with him
if the leash is on for control why didnt you simply control him with it?
either way dont get into a pissing match with your dog because you may lose and then the dog will ultimately lose
cesar milan has a nice vid of what happens when you get into a pissing match with a dog
op study on how to trade up and you will be fine and so will your dog
they didn't smack this dog around obviously
the key is teaching your dog that you mean good things when you approach the dish
|I did same as SAT-GSD, my dog is almost 2 now and I can take the food from him whenever I want. It is my food and I am giving it to him . He has to sit and wait for command to start to eat. Also long time ago maybe a year ago i gave him some high value treat like a fresh bone, I tried to take it from him, his instincts woke up and he started to growl, in the same time my instincts kicked in and I smacked him in a millisecond.Trust me after that I am able to take high value treats as well from him whenever i want. You have to remember you are owning him , not vice versa.
|I blame my last female for making Otto resource guard his food. They ate in the same room together until he was about 8-9 months and she started making moves like 'i could take that from you if I wanted to' He was her size at the time and hadn't stood up to her yet, she was a wicked stepmother.
I'm going to add something different from previous posters.
Are there other areas where your boyfriend has greater success as well or just with the food? Maybe your puppy now feels he can get away with it with you but does not want to try it with your boyfriend. Perhaps he gets the impression that your boyfriend is more commanding?
I've touched my dogs food and taken stuff from him for five years without any reaction. Not even a growl. Didn't make him food aggressive doing that.
After reading a few comments I wonder if age plays a role in anyway? Jackson is 6months old and every since he was a 9weeks (when I got him) I've been having him sit and currently learning to stay before giving him the green light to eat. I also either pet him,pick the bowl up and have him sit again or call his name to grab his attention. I do this so he won't be protective over his food. So far so good not a growl or mean look out of him.......yet

|I have one that will never growl at me near his food. Other dogs and the children, they can't be near him while he's eating or he starts growling. We all did the handfeeding (all his meals out of my hand) thing for a while, he still does it. Life is easier when Otto eats in his crate. He's also not allowed to be in the room with my children eating unless I'm there.
|Oskar's Human
Not sure about how one of us might snatch things out of his mouth more often since it seems to happen in excess But I will say that that is a good theory.
Also you folks are right we were probably testing him too much last night. We never have messed with his food before so the whole thing when I went to unleash him was a bit surprising. I called my boyfriend in the room and told him, he went to grab his food to see what I was talking about and that is how we figured out he only does it to me We will not be testing him in this situation again and I'll unleash him before I put the food down from now on. We so often have him on a leash while he is out and about so we can snatch him up quick if he is getting into it too much with the cats, and this has never been a problem before so I didn't realize this was something he apparently can't be trusted to handle right now.
Bottom line though, I don't want a dog who can't handle me handling him no matter what he is into. I wanna train this out of him immediately and any advice is good advice as far as I am concerned.
I will try the treat thing. Anything else as far as play etc to ensure he doesn't get aggressive about other things?
It just seems weird to me that he did that because a. he never has and b. more often than not I feed him by hand so I can capitalize meal time as training time.
He is always really gentle about getting the food from my hand. However, could this be why he didn't want me to take his food away, thinking if she gets my food she might make me do stuff to get it?
|David Winners
Resource guarding is a natural behavior. Nothing to be freaked out about or feel bad about. Start offering high value treats while he is eating, adding them to the bowl, classically conditioning your presence means super tasty treats.
I also wouldn't mess with taking away his food until he is happy to have you near him while eating.
David Winners
You probably take more things away from him than your bf. If your bf keeps moving his bowl while eating it'll just be a matter of time before the pup growls at him too. Then when the growls aren't enough to keep you away he'll bite. Not a friendly mouthing bite but a real serious get away from my food bite..
It needs to be fixed immediately and testing the dog by messing with his food isn't helping. In the search bar above search for resource guarding
|Oskar's Human
Food Aggression
I plan on asking my trainer about this on Monday but was wondering if you folks might have some advice to go by until then.
Tonight when I got home from work my puppy was fed by me like normal. He still had his leash on and while he was eating when I went to unlatch him he growled at me. When my boyfriend tried the same thing he didn't growl at him.
In fact, my boyfriend picked up the bowl while the dog was eating it but when I moved my hand toward the bowl Oskar growled again.
This is weird and new and I don't like it. Honestly it hurts my feelings in a weird probably immature way.
Note: I feed him just as often as my boyfriend and do on average probably more training sessions. It might be important to add that usually I feed him lunch and sometimes breakfast during said training sessions. He takes his kibble from my hand no problem. Also he had a combined breakfast/lunch today (by hand during training) due to an early vet appointment (we cannot feed before because he gets carsick and will throw it all up even on a ten minute drive) and might've been/felt hungrier than normal (because it was out of the bowl? ...maybe?) but I don't think that is a solid excuse for this behavior by any means.

Newbie still findin' his way around here, but is there a forum within this larger forum dedicated to Steyrs?
Also, I saw a brand-new Steyr M40 for $399.97 at my local gun shop. Is this a good deal?
Ok, PLEASE tell me this is brand new! Or else, I need a new prescription for my vision!
Well, js, I guess it's just you and me for now.
What can you tell me about this model and other Steyr pistols? Is this a good price for this pistol? Do you recommend them? How do they stack with the competitiou out there like Glocks, Springfields, etc.?
I've looked at the Steyr M9-A1 and S9 as well, even got a chance to shoot em.
Trap sights take some getting used to. Safety on models so equipped are more than a little weird too (understand that US imports have no safety.. shooting was done in Czech Rep.). Split trigger and short reset like Glock but clean takeup, not mushy! Fully supported cold forged barrel as well.
On the plus side, it has one of the lowest bore axis on a poly 9 and has excellent recoil control.
The downside is that Steyr hasn't caught on in the US for handguns. Holsters and sights are hard to find in the aftermarket. And you will probably want to replace the stock trap sights.
You might find more Steyr rifle owners on this forum. I own a Scout (.308... no girlyman .223) and love shooting it. Probably the best rifle to have for light game / varminting. Certainly the best if you have to carry a rifle all day.
Galco used to make holsters for the Steyr pistols, but we couldn't give them away. Okay pistol, just not popular.
I agree with submoa on the Scout. Mine (in .308) is a very fine rifle. I'd use it on any game up to elk.
The only Steyr rifle I have is an M95 in mint condition. I got it at Big 5 for only $79 in April! I guess that might be the great-great uncle of what you guys have.
I have the M9-A1 and absolutly love this gun the ergonomics are lke butter. They say that Steyrs are what a glock should be and i totally agree. That is a fair price they say the M and S models might start to get imported again maybe next year i hear. Don't quote me on this cause i'm not 100% sure, but if they do start importing again the price on these wonderful guns will increase big time. So jump on it while you can if you got your heart set on it.
The Steyrs are great guns and right now a great bargin too. The ergonomics are to me the best around, low bore axis, and the sights are fast to pick up. 399 is fair by the time you order from cdnn and pay ffl fees your pretty close within $10 so I say jump on it.
I have a M40-A1 and as an extra bonus, I also have a 9X19 top half for the pistol, so that changing calibers is a snap. I can go from .40 to 9mm (and vice versa) in 30 seconds. I find the Steyr to be extremely reliable and I really enjoy the ergonomics of the pistol. I'm trying to come to terms with the trap sights. They are really fast for "combat shooting", BUT they just aren't what I'm used to using. It just doesn't make sense to have "conventional" sights on all my other handguns, and then have to deal with something different when I shoot the Steyr. This means that I'll probably go with "conventional" sights somewhere down the road.
A detailed disassembly of the Steyr is a little challenging when compared to the Glock, but after a few repetitions, it's not too difficult.
All in all, the Steyr is a keeper.
on Steyrs:
--M stands for Medium frame M9, M40, M357. S stands for Small frame S9, S40 (no s357 exists but you can put a m357 barell in a s40 frame, it just beats the hell out of the small frame)
--lowest bore axis of any production gun
--111 degree grip angle, points great for most, but some do not care for it
--Developed by glock employee to be the next evolution of the glock (like the new xdm is to the xd) but gaston shot it down (when did he last take anyone's suggestion) and so the guy sold the design to Steyr
--shorter cleaner trigger with no stacking. Precocks striker at 72% (the most that won't let off a primer if it fails according to tests)
--pioneered the idea of the all steel subassembly with all parts, plastic shell is just a grip and dustcover. This eliminates flexing. This idea is now used in the M&P and the sig 250
--few aftermarket parts. Steel guide rods available, no trigger parts available, some sights available if you don't like the triangles but not from every maker (no TFO's for example), List of holster makers who make for steyrs is very long, but they will be special order not off the shelf.
--new A1 models (with standard rail and newly textured grips) are CA approved. Original M and S were not (the same mechanicals, they just never paid for the testing on the old design when they came out in 99)
--extended barells for canadaian sales are available. Also extended threaded barrels are available, but have to be special ordered through Steyr and i think they use the slowest boat ever to bring it over when you do)
--guns are built tight, will require break in!
--accuracy better than glock and on par with sig
--currently on the third generation of extractor design, freee retrofits available if you have extraction problems (know issue, but not common)
--Company has been through 3 or 4 importers and repair centers before building their own US facilities. There have been gaps in coverage that made people nervous, but the new center has been bending over backwards and fixing everything no questions asked to let people know they are here to stay for a couple of years now.
--Austrian parent company also bought lifetime nra memberships for all their US employees and have begun advertising in the US gunzines
--dirt cheap right now because the old owners of the company dumped the US inventory to cdnn just before the company was bought by an Austrian entrepreneur. They will go back to the $480-$550 range when the current stock of liquidated pistols runs out.
Hey guys, new to the forum here and seen this post. I just got a Steyr S9 yesterday and shot it today and was going to tell you my thoughts on it.
I put about 150-200 rounds through the pistol today and absolutley fell in love with it. It feels really good in my hand, and the recoil was easy to control and went right back to the target. I had no failure to feeds and no extractor problems ( I think Steyr fixed all the extractor problems in their later serial numbers ) The shells extracted in a pretty good pile, which is a plus for me since I reload, I hate chasing down brass, I feel like I spent my time looking for it then shooting :P anyways back on subject. The extractor spring is pretty tight, and left a little "ding" on the rim of the cartridge, no big deal Im just nit-picking on that, and I suspect that, that will go away during the break it time. My first 4 clips I grouped great, then I suppose I decided to make the sights more complicated then they are, and I was trying to aim to hard and my groups were pretty bad. That and I was shooting lead reloads I suppose that probably had a little to due with it as well. So I cracked opened a box or Remingtom FMJ's and relaxed and didnt worry about the sights so much and didnt try so hard, and bingo the groups tightened up more and more. I think it will take some time to get used to the low angle and the Trianglur sights before I shoot consistant tight groups and, I feel that a standard 3 dots sight would be better over all, if anyone knows where I could find them shoot me a link. I have shot a lot of 9mms and this is one of the best ones I have ever shot, the best probably being and old Browning High Power. I woul pick it over my Springfield XD 9mm. It will be my new carry pistol thats for sure !

I have the new style BM armor on order. I can take pics of it, when it gets here. However, I don't know how long that will be.Quote:

BM's stuff is made to order.
Go to www.bobamaker.co.uk and you can find photos of his work.
I know, I said that I have SEEN the pictures on the website, but it is at a crummy angle. And I was wondering if anyone had a shot of it from the FRONT.Quote:

ow my... I got BM knees and a bucket and those were fantastique... and this armor... I WILL be getting that. look at the curve in it!! that is just what I've been wanting all along, something that curves both horizontal and vertical, something you can never achieve with PVC sheets or Sintra because of the same problem you encounter when trying to fold an A4sheet of paper around a football...
imo... this is excellent stuff!!
Okay, when you get the NEW Bobamaker armor, take pictures, and post them here. THANKS!Quote:
RBF said:
hmm.. don't expect that to happen anytime soon.
Still a few steps away from even beginning to upgrade Boba (but I will).
But I'll probably want those armor pieces for my custom aswell.
Hmm. . . perhaps you'll call me crazy for suggesting this: try emailing B-M and asking him to send you a picture! *gasp* :eekQuote:
cookiemongoloid said:
I had asked him for some additional pics of his flightsuit before I placed an order, and he was very helpful. :thumbsup
yeah, I asked him for pics and he sent like 20.
My Bobamaker armor came in today! Awesome stuff! :thumbsup
I'll post pics. If there is anything specific you want pics of, post the requests here.
Hmmm. . . I would like to see a pic of the middle 3 mm of the strip between the 2 LED cutouts.
Or is that too specific? ;)
My Bobamaker armor should be coming within the next couple of weeks! Woo hoo!
Here is a link to pics I recently posted of my bobamaker stuff. I got this from him last week, and I am lovin' it!
All soft pieces (except for the scalps, belts and cape) are from DAZ.
All body armor is also from Daz. (except for the gauntlets and helmet.)
Hope this helps!:cheers
Great pics TK-2177... thanks for sharing...
Let me just ask you 1 thing... Is not the jumpsuit too loud blue ??? (I mean, if I´m not wrong it should be a little less loud... I little softer) ???
Is just a doubd/thought.
I think you are correct. I do have some pics where the suit looks close to this, but most pics it looks lighter, especially screen shots. I'm thinkin' about fading it a bit.
Anyone have any suggestions or input reguarding the true tint of blue?
i'm no esb expert, but at a casual glance it looks too blue. maybe wash it a couple of times to see if the dye fades out?Quote:
TK-2177 said:
that bobamaker stuff looks excellent!!
One Day....One day soon I shall have BM stuff of my very own. Until then I salivate looking at yours. lol
Bobamakers stuff is excellent, as soon as I close on my house here next month I will be able to finish working on it :)
Here are pics of my Bobamaker armor:
I have the TK-409 chest lights and they do not line up with the cutout. I will need to do some work there. If you order a set, you may want them filled in and you can out out your own chest light window.
The edges are 3/16" thick and the main material appears to be 1/8" or slighty thicker.
The armor has a VERY solid feel and yet is light. The chest armor hugs my chest great.
Overall, I am VERY pleased! :thumbsup

Anyone out there got a Para Ordnance? I've been thinking about the Hawg 9 as a carry gun; would be interested in any feedback.
From what limited exposure I've had, they are wonderful pistols - incredible trigger, great balance.
I have a Para P12 LDA; with 13 rounds it is quite heavy for carry. Other than that, it is a good handgun and ideal for a house gun. Regards, Richard :D
I have 2 .45 LDA's. I like both a lot. Recoil is not bad and they are easy to disassemble. Only issue I have is rounds occasionally get stuck from the magazine to the chamber. The trigger pull is fantastic.
I had a Carry 12 LDA that was probably one of the best shooting guns I had shot up to that point. It was stainless and I really liked that. Two negatives though....no replacement grips at that time so you were stuck with the plastic crap that came with the gun. The gun had tritium night sights that were so dim and small that you could hardly see them. I traded it off for my first Wilson Combat 1911.
Well I had a P-10 pre Hog Was a piece of crap I sent nback and the did a rebuild That got it some what dependable. But was never good enough for a carry gun. Also didn't fit my hand well. Traded for a S&W 44mag and a difference on a 44 levergun. My one and only Para.
I have a Para Ordnance P16-40 Limited.
It's a great shooting gun. Recoil with it seems lighter than most other .40's to me, and I shoot it accurately.

Capita Sierrascope Review
Wieght: 170 lbs
Board: Capita Sierrascope 156
Bindings: 2010 Ride EX
First time on a rocker too
Conditions: About 35 degrees on the east coast, snowed earlier in the day. About 2 inches of snow covering the usual ice. Later in the day much of the snow was off and only ice remained.
Groomers: Deffinatly had some fun riding down the groomers on this thing it was very soft and i fell backwards on my first few butter attempts. Once I got used to it I could have it thigh high.
Chop: This board being soft I could deffinatly feel some ice chunks under the board but it handled it well.
Speed: I usally ride alot smaller boards like 149 and 152's but this thing deffinatly suited me better for my type of riding. I could bomb all of the trails but keep in mind my mountain is incredibly small.
Ice: I didnt detune at all so it held an edge extremely well. I did catch a few edges so Im gonna do a minor detune later on.
Park: I only took this on some small 15 footers but I had a blast doing it. The board is very light and easy to spin. However I'm not very good at park and only threw a couple 3's. I washed out a couple of times but landing bolts i had no problem.
Bindings: I was a little skepticle buying these because I know their on the lower end but I was strapped for cash and got them new for $100 bucks. They were nice and flexy and pretty comfortable. I got the extra larges for my size 12's and i had no overhang with 15/9 angles. my only complaint about the bindings is that the toe strap didnt work very well with my boot.

Destructive Behavior 7 yr old GSD
Hi -
We moved from Miami to Las Vegas in early December. Allie, our 7 year old GSD and Ziggy (mix -rescue) were incredible on the 7 day trip; they managed hotel lobbies, the long car ride, etc. like champions. However, watching their home in Miami being packed up, having to spend 3 nights in a kennel prior to leaving has taken a toll. Ziggy - is doing all right - he is a sweet but stubborn mix of what we think is Anatolian Shepherd and lab came out of the boarding very angry and growled at everything but is now being the sweet Ziggy again.
Allie, on the other hand, is now so destructive that we take her everywhere with us - the one time we had to both leave to buy appliances, we hired a dog sitter. If people come to to house to give estimates for work to be done, we cannot leave her in another room as she will tear down blinds, chew tables, etc. within minutes. I understand that Allie, since 10/1/12 has lost her companion Murphy and her home but we do not know how to deal with this. Dog sitters are very expensive, the new vet we are meeting tomorrow will do doggy day care at a reasonable price but that is not a long term solution. We are considering an Xtra large crate but I am afraid Allie will hurt herself.
Please any suggestions on how to deal with this. We have not been able to grocery shop, have dinner or lunch out, explore anything as one of us has to sit in the car with Allie while the other goes in the store. This will not work at all once it gets hot here - right now it is quite chilly.
Thank you.

Tomas Rosicky is the EA SPORTS Player of the Month.
The Czech Republic captain picked up his first award of the season in March and made it back-to-back wins after another impressive month in the Arsenal midfield.
Tomas provided one of the assists of the season with a perfectly-angled cross to set up Robin van Persie's equaliser at Stoke, and he was Arsenal's most creative force for much of April.
The 31-year-old - only 29 in football terms, according to Tomas - received 43.8 per cent of the votes cast. That's precisely 10 per cent more than he got when he won the March prize.
Laurent Koscielny's consistency earned him second place in our official Club poll and Van Persie claimed third, just ahead of Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal fan Dan Gardener from Crawley has won the chance to present Tomas with his award before the Norwich game on Saturday. Dan will also receive two tickets to that match.

Feminism | Posted by Sophie R on 11/14/2012
In the United Kingdom (where I live), there is a daily national tabloid newspaper called The Sun. In it's own words, The Sun provides readers with "the latest news and features – Showbiz, babes, celebrities, sport and racing, national and international news." The word that I have decided to take issue with is 'babes' specifically because, for those who don't already know, as well as tenuous 'news' The Sun regularly features a picture of a pretty girl with her bazukas out on page 3.
It's long been an issue that has frustrated me. I am not surprised, shocked or even displeased that men – and women – like to look at boobs. Boobs are fascinating, boobs are life-giving, powerful, sexy and aesthetically pleasing, …

When the sizzling star of "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" went to director Michael Bay's house to audition for the part, "He made her wash his Ferrari while he filmed her," reports Jason Solomons in Britain's Guardian.So, let's recap.
When Megan Fox went to audition for an acting position, she did not go to an office, or studio, or another neutral third-party location specifically related to the position she planned to take. She was not treated as a professional, in deference to and respect for the experience she brings to the position, or even to the project she plans to join. Her qualifications for the position were not carefully reviewed and sampled.
Instead, Fox was taken to the intimate and personal residence of her potential male supervisor.
How is that not sexual harassment? How does this translate to a healthy and safe working environment?
Some would say that Fox was complicit in and eager for this harassment, but that doesn't make it not harassment. Fox is not on the same level as Bay. She couldn't say no, unless she wanted to give up a huge professional opportunity. It's a humiliating, voyeuristic assertion of power by someone who wanted to subjugate Fox in a very specific way.
Via Jezebel
*BY THE WAY: Megan Fox is the star of the upcoming Jennifer's Body, which in a rare rare move for Hollywood was directed by, written by, and starring TWO women!
**Apparently, this is not in the source material - I conflated bikinis & washing cars. I stand by the rest of it.
