I recommend the following two cartridges above all others:
-Federal 90 gr. Hydra-shok (P380HS1 H) - the best standard-pressure .380 JHP load, period.
-Cor-Bon 90 gr. JHP - the most powerful .380 hollowpoint, bar none.
These are the two best .380 loads, and I recommend them for these guns:
SIG/Sauer P230, Beretta 84/85, Browning BDA, CZ-83, H&K P7K3, Walther PPK and PPK/s. The Russian, East German, Chinese and Bulgarian Makarov pistols are apparently perfectly reliable with the hot Cor-Bon, and the strong all-steel construction of these guns should stand up to an infinite amount of these potent rounds. I have heard that the Colt does also well with the hot Cor-Bon JHP, which you should definitely look into if you own a Colt .380. You have better stopping power than any .38 snub-nose revolver (the long-time favorite concealment sidearm) when you load your .380 with these two rounds.
Other good .380 ACP jacketed hollowpoints:
- Remington 102 gr. Golden Saber BJHP (GS380M) - Another excellent .380 load (the BJHP stands for "Brass Jacketed Hollow Point"), the heaviest one available. I prefer the Cor-Bon and Hydra-shok, but many (including Sanow) like this new Remington round for its deeper penetration. I'll stick with the Cor-Bon and Hydra-shok, but the choice is yours.
- CCI-Speer 90 gr. Gold Dot JHP A good all-around hollowpoint.
- Remington 88 gr. JHP (R380AI): A good high-velocity hollowpoint that feeds well in: Colt Government Model .380, H&K HK4, Taurus PT-58, older PP and PPK, Bersa .380, Beretta 70s, Makarov and Hungarian FEG. These are all good guns that might choke on other hollowpoints but they will probably feed the Remington fine. This hollowpoint was redesigned in 1993 and gives excellent performance while retaining its rounded shape for positive feeding. If your .380 chokes on other JHP loads, try fifty rounds of the Remington 88 gr. through your gun and see if it improves.
.380 ACP hollowpoints to avoid:
-Winchester 85 gr Silvertip (X380ASHP) I really cannot recommend this weak and jam-prone round. It works reliably in a few modern European guns (e.g. SIG 230, Beretta 84F), but every load named above offers better performance. The Silvertip will likely jam in any American-made .380 automatic. Russian .380 Makarovs and PPK series guns may jam with the Silvertip, as well. The .380 Silvertip was once state-of-the-art, but has since been superceded by superior designs. It is also quite expensive. Look elsewhere.
- PMC-Eldorado Starfire 95 gr. JHP This round is similarly weak and jam-prone.
- Federal 90 gr. JHP (380BP) (see below)
- Hornady 90 gr. XTP-HP (9010) Both the Federal 380BP and the Hornady XTP-HP never expand and may jam many guns due to their truncated-cone bullet nose profiles. Pass by these two.
95 gr ball:
Davis P-380, Accu-Tek, EAA .380, Tanarmi, AMT/OMC/TDE "Back-Up," Heritage, FIE, Jennings, Bryco, Lorcin, Llama, or "other." Hollowpoints should never be used in these low-priced guns.
9mm Makarov (9x18mm)
-Cor-Bon makes an excellent 95 grain JHP that is totally reliable in all East Bloc pistols.
-Hornady offers a 95 grain JHP/XTP (#91002).

Very cool, looks great!
Very nice!
That's cool. Did you take any pics with the other MK characters?

Cool is right!!!! I like the look of yours the best bro. Man, I should build a Reptile!!!
Do it!!!! My friend does UMK3 Reptile! He's probably my 2nd favorite. heh. I'd help ya out. I grew up on MK and I loved Scorpion, so naturally he was who I wanted to be... Scorpion and Boba <3 Both have sort of a similar backstory. Both lost someone they cared for, bent on revenge... ruthless, neutral... and feared throughout their worlds... haha... thats the short version of the comparison haha
Very Cool! Scorpion is awesome
That is awesome! I would love to make a scorpion costume from the Mortal Kombat movie! I have the menpo but never got around to making anything else...
Man do it!!!
Wow, that's a lot of Scorpions
sonya's ankle looks broken.
Very nice job man, now..."GET OVER HERE!!!" Can't wait for DC vs MK....
Bah, if I ever get cut and broly, I'll consider doing a Shao Kahn, so I can go around telling people "You Suck" owrofl:
Hahaha. Yeah, there are a lot of costume repeats this year for MK... last year we had an AMAZING turn out. I'm sure after the new MK vs. DC game comes out we'll see some more. Check out my Avatar!!! Art Andrews did it for me!!! SOOO COOL!
I'm a huge Mortal Kombat fan, you're Scorpion is awesome :thumbup.
The girls look fantastic as well, especially Kitana.
Would love to do a MK2 Raiden, was close to buying a Raiden style hat in Bali a few years ago but didn't want the hassle of bringing it home, sorry I didn't now.
MK vs DC has no fatalities???? Couldn't have us killing Batman.
Dougie Fett, thanks!
From what I've heard the characters that do fatalities will still have them... the heros that don't kill are going to do something else That's just what i heard thru the grapevine hahaha.
So cool costume that TehEl1te.
Like the others have said I to like my Mortal Kombat. Watched the movies and all that.
Kitana, Sonya and Sub zeros look great. What with the guy on the end next to the scorpion with the weird mask?
Amazing job... I'm also a great Scorpion fan... I have my Scorpion costume too... My version its from the first movie and the Live Action series (MK Conquest)... Chriss Cassamassa rules!!!... If you allow me I'll post my Scorpion costume pics here or I'll make my own thread...
awsome job... all you need are contacts and ur set!
Odran Kor!!! Do it! I'd love to see em! Post em here!
Chris Cassamassa is the man! He plays the role of Scorpion very well!

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by Spareoom, Jan 28, 2013.
Anyone watching?
I didn't think this was on TV at first because it wasn't on one of the major networks. Now I see that it is on TNT and TBS. Have they done Best Actress yet?
Just did. Jennifer Lawrence won!
For the other acting awards, Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Hathaway won best supporting.
OMG, Jennifer won!? YAY! I really want her to get the Oscar but I still have a feeling that Chastain will win that one. I don't think the SAG is a very good predictor for the Oscars, are they? Maybe they used to but I'm trying to think more recently.
I think the actor awards have been fairly accurate (but I'm not sure) but its the Best Picture award that's not as accurate because the Oscars changed their voting criteria and the SAGs didn't.
Case in point, Argo wins best ensamble. I doubt it wins the Oscar.
I wonder when voting was done for this? Do you think Affleck's snub in the director category could have influenced any of the voting? Either for director (who won that?) or the ensemble?
Well, Argo won the GG's too so it's hardly a surprise. I guess the Academy just didn't like the film for some reason.

Lawrence has won 24 major acting awards so far, one tied with Chastain. Chastain has won 16. My gut tells me Jennifer is still more likely to win the Oscar.
And I'm going to cry if she does. Big, fat, messy tears.
Oh, me too. I was so thrilled for her tonight and she looked VERY surprised and happy. Although I guess she had a little wardrobe malfunction on her way to the stage...her dress had a two-piece skirt sort of thing, and I think it got snagged on a chair on the way down because while she was walking up the steps, the bottom half slipped and she flashed about six inches of thigh. Only Jen...
I hope you are right, michiruwater!
I just don't get Silver Linings Playbook. I thought it was incredibly over-acted and truly unconvincing.
Jennifer Lawrence will probably undeservedly win an Oscar now because she's a hot commodity with many more years to work with the studios to churn out hits. She appeals to all sorts who for some reason or another all have decided they have huge crushes on her. Even David O. Russell, director of Silver Linings Playbook, ogled over her with the camera during the movie.
She won't be the worst winner ever, but after seeing the other nominees plus a few others who weren't nominated, I felt she's clearly the weakest of the bunch (with the exception of maybe Wallis whose performance I loved but am not quite sure if she knew what she was really doing in the film other than reacting the way the director wanted her to). I guess it's to be expected. Her character checks all the boxes. Screaming scene, crying scene, sad scene, sexy scene, dancing scene, quirky but not too quirky, has emotional problems but not too difficult to overcome (yeah loved how the film dealt with her sex addiction so easily), character defined by lead male character, gets to be a little mean to DeNiro who finds it charming, really has a heart of gold deep down her rough exterior, etc.
It's not like she's never been nominated before and came out of nowhere In fact, she's the youngest actress to receive two BA nominations in history.
I've seen everything she's been in except that one horror movie and, unfortunately, SLP, due to my move to China before either of those came out. Oh, and I haven't seen the Bill Engvall Show. But in each of those movies - The Burning Plains, Poker House, Hunger Games, X-Men, The Beaver, Winter's Bone in particular - she was absolutely fantastic, and I have no doubt that she was fantastic in SLP as well. She has a real innate talent. It's fine if you don't agree, and obviously I'm a Jennifer uber, but I don't think many people will agree with you that it is undeserved if she does win. The critics adore her. She has a gigantic fan base, mostly for her talent combined with her hilariously irreverent attitude (which is the reason behind the crushes, I imagine - she doesn't act like a star at all and she's very funny in her interviews/talk show appearances).
But you are right that's a good tactical move on the Academy's part. I won't pretend that's not true - I've said that several times over the last year. She has several guaranteed hits coming out over the next few years - HG and X-men sequels in particular - which basically guarantees that she won't get the Oscar curse. And they do want to appeal to a younger audience. I just don't think that this means that she's undeserving.
Dunno. Argo won the Producers' Guild award. I think the snub has galvanized it.
Directors' Guild awards are next weekend.
I've seen Winter's Bone and agree she deserved a nomination for that performance. It was everything SLP was not in that it didn't pander to the audience, go for cheap emotion, and it allowed Lawrence to give a truly nuanced performance from a difficult character to pull off.
I also acknowledge I'm in the minority regarding SLP, which is why I'm being much harsher on it than it probably deserves. I simply didn't get it, and I guess it doesn't feel good to see most people give so much praise to something you yourself simply did not connect with. It also doesn't help that I actually liked all of the actors and the creative team behind SLP in other projects and was really looking forward to seeing it. I guess I was disappointed with something I felt seemed lazy.
As for the Argo thing, I think the director's branch snubbing Affleck really helped Argo in this race. Now the guilds are going full-force in support of it. We'll see if the Academy membership as a whole will reward it to acknowledge the perceived mistake the Director's branch made with snubbing Affleck or if they will show that they do have their own minds and pick another film as Best Picture. The only thing we don't know really is who is going to win the DGA unless someone who is nominated for Best Director wins it.
It's entirely possible that I'm also taking it too personally because I want to see SLP so extremely badly and will probably never have the opportunity to see it in theaters. And you did. And you didn't like it
This award is special because her fellow actors voted for her. And she is so young...you know you see all ages in the supporting category but to win in the category she was in is special indeed. I want to know what we are witnessing: Is this young woman going to have Meryl-like success? Is she that good? (I don't know a lot about her.)
I think so, but then again I'm not the most educated. She's fairly special in that she has the respect of the critics AND the box office...there's not many actresses who are popular with the general public and film critics. Anne Hathaway is another actress that I can think of who is like that.
But Anne isn't as popular as Jen is (though I think she gained back some respect from all the naysayers with, actually, her performance as Catwoman in particular). For some reason, and I have no clue why this is, there are a lot of Anne haters on the net. I don't get it. She's beautiful and talented and also pretty funny in interviews, and seems very gracious, but she seems to rub people the wrong way a lot. Not me, so, like I said, I don't get it Maybe it's still negative reaction from her Oscars hosting, but I blame James Franco for that disaster entirely.
And I've been wondering that myself - will Jen have a Kate Winslet or Meryl Streep-like career? (though if she wins she'll be ahead of Kate's curve by like, what, a decade and a half? ). I really hope so. She's in a good place right now, with the two franchises she's in guaranteed to have at least three more hits combined and all the world scrambling to work with her, when she's so young. I just hope she keeps the positive, irreverent attitude and continues to stay out of the limelight the best she can. I think it's a good attitude to have.
Well, if Jen did win the Oscar it would be hard to see her have that decline in roles because as you said, she's got a minimum of four big franchise films yet to be released not to mention the smaller films she's already gotten lined up. Gosh, if she wins, do you have any idea how much money she's going to be worth?! Oscar winners are always perceived as expensive (hence the post Oscar dry spell that so many have), but Jen is freakin' Katniss.
I have to say, as a RABID Hunger Games fan, you have no idea how proud I am that our movie franchise was lucky enough to get Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss. Not only is she a fine, fine actress, but she's exactly how I imagine the character to be in every way possible, and I couldn't be happier. I don't think Gary Ross realized the full potential of the books, but based on some things I've heard from Francis Lawrence, the new director, I really think he "gets" it, and I feel optimistic and happy.
Jennifer deserved her nomination for Winters bone, and she deserves it here, but I don't agree with her win. IMO all the other nominated actresses were better than her. I also don't find SLP all that alluring. Good to see someone agree with me. It's a feel good movie, entertaining, but not necessarily great. I have a big issue with Bradley Cooper getting a best actor nomination for this.
It's entirely possible that the best director snub to Ben Afflec is winning him sympathy votes, but Argo really is a very good movie. I liked it more than Lincoln, which was meticulously done but rather bland. Argo had more excitement, suspense (even though we knew what really happened) than either Lincoln, Zero Dark Thirty, or SLP. IMO SLP was the most predictable movie of the nominated ones. It's a highly overrated movie, and Jennifer may be getting the benefit of that, plus of being young and beautiful. She is a really good actress, but like Gwyneth Paltrow she may win the Oscar too soon and for the wrong movie.
"Skyfall" won a SAG Award!!!
Stunt ensemble: "Skyfall"
Personally, I thought Jennifer Lawrence was overrated as Katniss. There were a few moments there where I didn't believe the emotion.
I think she's good. But I think her talent is being blown out of proportion.
As far as Anne Hathaway goes, I like her. But I understand why some people find her personality annoying. It's the uber-earnestness and the "trying too hard", and being too much like a an over excited puppy. Sometimes it comes across in interviews and I just want to tell her to calm down.
I can't get over how empty Jennifer Lawrence's eyes look. An actors eyes are so important, but hers look as if there were nothing behind. She changes her expression by pouting or blinking a few times but nothing happens in the eyes.
Agreed. She has fantastic natural acting ability, but she could do with a bit of training. I get the idea that she's just playing Jen in her roles (haven't seen Winter's Bone). Her off-stage personality is though. Love her.
The role in SLP (also haven't seen) just seems like another play on the stereotypical Manic Pixie Dream Girl. She's crazy, she's broken, she'll love you and save your life.
Well that I disagree with entirely (Asli's post).
If you've seen THG, Winter's Bone, The Burning Plains, or Poker House, it kind of blows my mind that anyone could say that she's just playing Jennifer Lawrence in her roles. In fact I was super excited when she got the role for SLP because all of her roles are normally so very dramatic and heart-wrenching. SLP is a departure for her.
I haven't said anything like that in my post?
This is how I feel. Not saying it was unreasonable for Jennifer Lawrence to get a nomination, but I personally would have nominated Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty), Marion Cotillard (Rust and Bone), Emmanuelle Riva (Amour), Naomi Watts (The Impossible), and Rachel Weisz (The Deep Blue Sea) with my vote going to Riva with Chastain and Weisz a close second. I mean if you watch any of those above performances and then watch Jennifer Lawrence in SLP, there's just no comparison of skill and depth because it's obvious she lacks it. Asli says she looks dead behind the eyes and I agree actually. She looks vacant a lot of the times and her attempt to show emotion tend to be based on superficial changes of expression without the real nuances an actor can work with in front of the camera.
Again, she really is talented, but she's not quite fully cooked yet and can use training and/or more experience.
Is it me, or does this it seem like this year's Oscars are going to be a lot less predictable than in years past?
It seems like most years, all but maybe one of two of the major awards are a virtual certainty by this point, but I feel like out of the big 6 categories the only real locks this year are Anne Hathaway and Daniel Day-Lewis (and possibly Spielberg, but that's mostly to do with who's missing from the category).
Yeah, Jennifer Lawrence can probably be called the favourite for Actress right now, but I think Chastain is definitely still in the race, and I've even seen some speculation on the possibility that those two split the vote enough for Emmanuelle Riva to Adrien Brody her way in there, due to the fact that her supporters seem to be the most passionate.
Supporting Actor seems like a complete toss-up to me, made even more confusing by the fact that Christoph Waltz wasn't even nominated here due to Django not screening on time.
And the Best Picture race is the most intriguing in years. If it wasn't for the Affleck snub I think you could probably say that Argo had it in the bag by now, but there's no ignoring the fact that it's been over twenty years since a movie won Best Picture without a directing nomination.
I watched the SAGs a bit the other day. Very glad Bryan Cranston won for Breaking Bad. Damien Lewis is great on Homeland, but Cranston gives one of the best TV performances I've ever seen. I know Cranston has already won plenty, but the swing recently has been toward Lewis.
I agree that only Day-Lewis and Hathaway are locks. I wish Hathaway was upset in the Oscars though because I thought her performance was over-the-top and her award speeches are annoying. However, no way's she going to lose.

I have been very impressed with the talent and creativeness of the members on this board as well as their willingness to share knowledge, offer tips and input here. I still consider myself one of the Newbies to the site, so forgive me if I'm ignorant on this subject. I don't want to open a can of worms, but I wanted to know two things:
1. What are the guidelines, requirements, and/or limitations on custom Mando armor? I want to be able to troop in it and maybe join a group of costumers.
2. What are some good paperbacks to read about Boba Fett, Mandos and Clone Troopers?
Remember, everyone has an opinion, I'm just looking for suggestions.
I don't want anybody to get into an "I'm right you're wrong" argument on this, I'm just looking for guidelines and ideas.
Thanks a bunch!

Daily interaction with the executive and legislative branches of government is conducted through the Association's Department of Governmental Relations. The Department works on behalf of the Association to coordinate legislative activity regarding issues of interest to the legal profession.
Additionally, the Department is responsible for the editing and distribution of legislation reports, bill tracking, and the promotion of the Association's affirmative legislative program.
To provide our members with a comprehensive set of tools with which to stay informed about policy issues of importance to the practice of law, the Department of Governmental Relations has compiled the following resources:
NYSBA offers several ways for its members to become active in the legislative process, whether by recommending a policy issue to be adopted as a NYSBA state or federal legislative priority or submitting memoranda commenting on the impact of legislation on the practice of law.
Additionally, the Association presents a series of affirmative legislative proposals to the State Legislature annually. Affirmative legislation is generally developed at the Section or Committee level and must receive the approval of the Association's Executive Committee or the House of Delegates prior to introduction in the Legislature.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - North Carolina junior face-off man R.G. Keenan will always remember the first ever game he ever played in Kenan Stadium. The Perry Hall, Md., native won the overtime face-off on a pinch and pop and scored six seconds later to lift #7 Carolina to a pulsating 11-10 overtime win over #10 Johns Hopkins before 5,922 fans and a national TV audience on ESPNU.
Carolina elected to play this game in the football stadium, anticipating a crowd Fetzer Field might not be able to hold as well as to celebrate the annual Alumni Weekend activities. The game lived up to all the hype as the Tar Heels pulled out a win over their longest-standing non-conference rival. It was the second straight win for Carolina over Hopkins in a regular-season series that began in 1982 and the sixth win for UNC over the Blue Jays in the last seven tries. Prior to that, Hopkins had won 13 straight games in the series from 1995-2006.
UNC (7-3) led for most of the game against the Blue Jays until a three-goal run by Hopkins (6-3) put it up 10-9 with 4:36 to play after an unassisted goal by John Greeley. The Blue Jays won the ensuing face-off and got off three more shots before turning the ball over on a 30-second stalling violation with 2:24 to play. The Tar Heels elected not to take a timeout and at the 1:30 mark, Chad Tutton found Davey Emala alone in front of the crease and the senior midfielder quick sticked the ball past Pierce Bassett for his third goal of the game and 12th career hat trick. Most importantly, Emala's goal knotted the game at 10 all.
The Blue Jays won the ensuing face-off on a false start violation against Keenan and called timeout seven seconds later. The Tar Heel defense then held strong and did not allow the Blue Jays to get off a shot in the final 1:23 of regulation, forcing overtime.
In the overtime, Keenan's anticipation of the whistle was true, he scooped up the ground ball in front of him and with Hopkins defenders in hot pursuit he elected to take it on his own as he saw no slide coming from the Hopkins close defensemen. Keenan finished between Bassett's legs from yards away for the game-winner, setting off a mosh pit of Carolina Blue and White in the Southeast corner of the Kenan Stadium turf.
Emala finished with a three-goal game for UNC while Marcus Holman had a goal and two assists, Joey Sankey had a pair of goals and midfielder Chad Tutton added a goal and two helpers. Sophomore long-stick midfielder Ryan Kilpatrick also recorded a career-high two assists for Carolina. Other UNC goal scorers were Jimmy Bitter, Ryan Creighton and, of course, Keenan.
Zach Palmer led the Blue Jays' offense with three goals and an assist while Ryan Brown had a pair of tallies. Lee Coppersmith was deadly in his shooting from the midfield and had two goals and an assist. Greeley had one goal and one assist for Hopkins while Wells Stanwick recorded two assists.
The Blue Jays outshot the Tar Heels in the game 48-37 while the teams were dead even in ground ball at 30 apiece. Hopkins' had a slight edge at the face-off X with Mike Poppleton winning 13 of 24 compared to 11 of 24 for Keenan.
Bassett finished with eight saves and played big in the second half as he had five of those after halftime as the Blue Jays staged their comeback. Kieran Burke had another big day in the goal for UNC with 14 saves. He registered 11 of those in the first half, not only keeping Carolina in the game and but also allowing the Heels to build a 5-3 halftime lead. His other three saves came in the fourth quarter when Hopkins outshot the Heels 17-5 but put only put six of those 17 on cage.
The clearing game for both teams was brilliant with Hopkins going 16 for 16 and UNC 14 of 15. The game was light on the turnovers with Hopkins committing only nine and UNC 10.
Carolina scored first just 47 seconds into the game on the first of three goals by Emala, assisted by Holman as the senior mid finished from a tough angle on the left side goal line extended. Hopkins answered three minutes later on Brown's first of two goals before UNC ran off three markers in a row to take it biggest lead of the game at 4-1. Sankey beat two defenders and scored an unassisted goal before Ryan Kilpatrick, caused a turnover, scooped up the ground ball and fed Marcus Holman for the first of five transition goals UNC had in the game, making it 3-1 with 3:24 left in the period. Thirty seconds later, Emala lost his defender and scored his second goal to make it 4-1 Carolina and prompting a timeout by the Blue Jays. Chad Tutton's nifty assist aided Emala on the goal.
Hopkins got the next two goals of the game, a man-up score from Brandon Benn and an unassisted tally by Coppersmith, before Holman scored again from Kilpatrick on a fast break with 1:17 left in the half. Kieran McDonald caused a turnover after two point-blank saves by Burke, Jake Matthai claimed the ground ball and cleared it before passing to Kilpatrick who advanced to Holman. Holman's shot from 12 yards stung the upper right corner for the two-goal halftime lead.
In the second half, Hopkins came out firing on all cylinders, scoring on all four of its shots on goal in the third period. The period started with four unassisted goals. Palmer for Hopkins, Sankey for Carolina, Coppersmith for Hopkins and Tutton for UNC. Sankey beat his defenders and scored from GLE at 11:24 and Tutton picked up a ground ball to the left of the crease and fired it home past Bassett. At 6:51, UNC was offsides andwith the timer on, Ranagan fored one past Burke for a 7-6 game at 6:51. Zach Palmer's unassisted goal at the six-minute mark eventually tied the game at seven all. Carolina had the last goal of the third quarter as Ryan Creighton raced 50 plus yards on a one-man clear and scored top left shelf with 3:23 to play.
Carolina went back up by two goals, again converting on a fast break with Jimmy Bitter scoring from Marcus Holman with 14:22 left in the fourth quarter. The Tar Heels killed a man-down and McDonald found Holman on a dead sprint as he was leaving the penalty box. Holman immediately fed Bitter and his shot was true from six yards to the right of the crease.But that would be UNC's last goal for nearly 13 minutes while Hopkins got tallies from Ryan Brown, Zach Palmer and John Greeley to take the lead 10-9 with 4:36 left and set up all the late-game dramatics.
The win was the fourth in a row for Carolina and its third win over a nationally-ranked team in the last week. Carolina returns to action next Saturday at 3:30 p.m. facing ACC foe Virginia in Charlottesville, Va., in a nationally-televised ESPN3 game.

It is a beautiful rifle and I would rate the fit and finish VERY good. It is almost too pretty to shoot! Almost!! LOL! Remember I was n't using a bench or any kind of support when I shot it, I was just messing around shooting at a target standing and sitting using my knee for support. Even still at about 25 yards I was keeping everything in a little bigger than a baseball size. I need to take a bench and adjust the sights because it seems to shoot high and to the left about 2 inches both ways. But that may have been me just being giddy and having too much fun.
I had no logical or practical reason for wanting one. It really can't do anything a decent Ruger 10/22 can't do. But what can't be eliminated is the "It s just so freaking cool" element. I knew the minute I saw one I would have one.
Like I said earlier, the magazine seems to be the weak point to me, hopefully some aftermarket company will come up with a better magazine.

A Comparison of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and the Indiana Statewide Test of Educational Progress-Plus (ISTEP+)
ISTEP+ assessments are administered in Grades 3-8. ISTEP+ End-of-Course Assessments (ECAs) are administered in Algebra I, English 10, and Biology I.
NAEP state assessments are administered at Grades 4 and 8; national NAEP assessments also include Grade 12. Long-term, or Trend NAEP is a different test, which is administered to students at ages 9,13, and 17.
ISTEP+ assessments are administered in early March and late April through early May for grades 3-8; ECAs are administered during the following windows: Fall, Early Winter, Late Winter, Spring, and Summer.
NAEP state assessments are administered from late January to early March.
ISTEP+ results are reported to individual students, schools, corporations, and the state in mathematics, English/language arts, science and social studies.
NAEP results are reported to states and the nation in mathematics, reading, writing, science, civics, geography, foreign language, U.S. history, economics, and the arts. NAEP also conducts special studies, such as studies of high school transcripts or use of technology in schools.
ISTEP+ focuses on academic progress, or on the development of individual skills in key academic subjects.
NAEP focuses on changes in performance over time, or on the outcomes of good practices in key subject areas.
ISTEP+ is a standards-based, criterion-referenced test; results are interpreted based on established criteria for passing.
NAEP is a standards-based, norm-referenced test; results are interpreted based on national norms, or in comparison to other states and the nation.
ISTEP+ reports student performance as a scale score and as a corresponding achievement level labeled Pass+, Pass, or Did Not Pass.
NAEP reports state performance as a scale score and as a corresponding achievement level labeled Advanced, Proficient, Basic, or Below Basic.
ISTEP+ is a comprehensive, cumulative assessment, and each student completes all items in all subject areas assessed.
NAEP uses matrix sampling of subject content, and each student completes only a sample of the total test in one subject area.
ISTEP+ is aligned with content standards (Indiana Academic Standards) in all tested subjects. Test items are included because they measure standards from all grades prior to, and including, the tested grade (e.g., The Grade 6 test measures standards from K-6.)
NAEP is aligned with the National Assessment Governing Board's assessment standards (Frameworks) in all tested subjects. Test items are included because they measure standards at the grade level of interest (e.g., The Grade 8 test measures standards for that grade.) Because Frameworks are assessment standards, not curricular standards, they prescribe what will be tested, not what to teach.
ISTEP+ assesses reading and writing together, and each is part of the English/Language Arts Academic Standards.
NAEP reading and writing assessments are administered at different times, and NAEP Reading and NAEP Writing Frameworks are distinct documents.
ISTEP+ uses both authentic and commissioned text passages and data.
NAEP uses authentic text passages and data, printed in their entirety and taken from an existing source or document.
Both ISTEP+ and NAEP contain multiple-choice and open-ended/constructed-response items.
Indiana Academic Standards and the NAEP Frameworks are not precisely aligned, though there is a similar set of expectations in terms of what students should know and be able to do.

Reviews of this property
L'appartamento è davvero bello e immerso nel verde, con tutti i comfort e un comodo garage. Bisogna però portarsi lenzuola e asciugamani. In tre ci siamo stati benissimo. E' a poca distanza dal centro e vicino ha un supermercato ben fornito.
The accommodation is very peacefully situated in a beautiful park. Nevertheless, only a few meters away from the Croisette. The rooms were very clean and well maintained. The reception was very friendly but it is better to speak a few words of French. I can absolutely recommend the apartment.
accommodation was very nice and clean - everything was all around a good experience. Above all, the advice and assistance of the Wimdu agent was very professional and helpful.
unterkunft war sehr schön und sauber - auch alles rundherum war eine gute Erfahrung. Vor allem war auch die Beratung und Hilfe der Wimdu-Agenten sehr professionell und hilfreich.
I was going to Cannes for one of the markets, so I was looking for a flat not too far from the Palais. In those cases I usually don't spend much time at all in the apartments, basically just to sleep, so all you need is a play to spend your nights, prompt customer service and assistance when you arrive and when you leave.
- Quality assured accommodation

Republican Congressman Patrick McHenry of North Carolina was on one of those photo op visits to Iraq in order to prove he is willing to risk his life in defense of America when he encoutered a serious problem. The congressman wanted to gain entrance to a gym in order to relax after his ordeal in visiting Iraq when he was halted by someone he referred to as a "two-bit security guard." Apparently the security guard did not realize he was preventing one of America's leading Iraq experts from shedding a few pounds. The Republican leader was staying at VIP headquarters in the pool house of a palace once used by Saddam Hussein. According to a tape, McHenry said: "It is 5 o'clock in the morning, I haven't had sleep. I ws not very happy with this two-bit security guard" who would not let him into the facility because he lacked the right credentials.
Congressman McHenry has never served in the armed forces, but he does hold the National Guard's Charles Dick Medal of Merit because he supports work of the National Guard. Why not make it a requirement for congressmen seeking to visit Iraq that they be compelled to go along on a mission into the front lines of the war. Who knows, maybe that will shed the pounds Mr. McHenry is so anxious to lose.

Hello Everyone!
I was going to direct this to stormtrooperguy, but I figure I should try and catch as much attention as possible to get the most help possible.
OK, so here's the situation.
I'm doing a scratch build of Captain Rex ( might do a regular trooper, don't like the paultron tooo much), I have minimal tools and minimal money.
So far I've sculpted a head about my size out of insulation foam, covered it partially with bondo, found it hard to use, so I went to clay. The bucket is 80% done(in that it isn't a head anymore), it's just lumpy and off all over the place. I also bought plaster bandages to do the rest of the armor's base so I can build off of that, with clay? I don't know yet.
My only problem with bondo is that, I have no garage so I have to do bondo work outside, and, if it's raining, it's hard to do. My power sander isn't the best thing in the world either, so.. Clay is preferable. Right now it's cracking up a storm, but I can fix that, that isn't the problem. I just can't get smooth, round, near perfect surfaces. OH, also, it's air dry, no firing needed.
I realize I can sand the dome parts and stuff to smooth it out and level the edges.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Vail Police see sharp rise in bear activity
August 15, 2012
VAIL, Colorado – Residents are being asked to be diligent about keeping their garbage stored properly now that bear season is under way. The department has already fielded 53 bear reports so far in the month of August, up from 9 in 2011. The main locations for bear activity are the Alpine Drive area in the Matterhorn neighborhood, the Arosa Drive area in West Vail and the Forest Road area in Vail Village.
Over the next few weeks, the Vail police department will be increasing enforcement of existing year-round ordinances to deter bears from accessing easy-to-find food sources. Since 2007 all curbside trash customers in Vail have been required to use wildlife-resistant containers. In addition, commercial establishments, multi-family complexes and construction sites are required to use enclosures and/or wildlife-proof containers. Also, the placement of curbside containers is restricted to the assigned pick up day and only during daylight hours under provisions of the dawn to dusk ordinance.
The town of Vail last saw an alarming increase in bear activity in 2009 when the Vail Dispatch Center received 222 calls involving bear activity, compared to only 51 in 2008. Since 2009, the bear activity has decreased significantly. In 2010, police responded to 58 bear related calls during the summer months and only 20 in 2011. So far in 2012, police have responded to 83 bear related calls.
The suspected reason for the increase in bear related activity is the recent drought conditions affecting most of the state this past spring and summer. The lack of moisture has significantly reduced the bear's natural food sources thereby forcing the animals to find a different source for their nutrition.–

So borrreeeddd when will a fun MMO come out again...?
Give & Take
Ok I think I'm done with the game , the reality atm is this def is always better than evasion in dungeons no matter the role dps healer tank all def>evasion , and for some1 who went almost full evasion (had 55% dodge , yet all monsters or bosses in dungs never missed me) , and wanted roguelike class that dodges and stabs ppl , my dreams were flushed down the toilet , the boss mechanics the "red carpet" atacks are either buggy or laggy stand in between 2 red carpets , get 1 shotted by the boss , reseted stats and put all to hp got 7k hp boost , BUT when I think about it boss 1 shotted when I had ~21k hp , the boost I got won't matter... the closer you getting to endgame the more you realise you have very little variety stat wise , and since a lot of players late game like to pull all mobs to boss (not clearing group by group but literally pull all adds from start of dung to boss) you need to have quite a few aoe cause single target won't cut it ... Meh it was fun while it lasted
Thats and its basically a requirement to either play with friends, mods, or both since Vanilla minecraft is pretty damn boring.
I should have joined the PSO2 community sooner.
Some things I've been working on without making leveling a priority
Only plays Magic DPS Classes, Healers and Machinist/Engineers.
Playing MMO: FFXIV (Balmung)
Waiting On: FFXV, KH3, Tree of Savior, RE:FFVII · Saving For: New Computer
Is there an NA release date for PSO2 yet? I've been kinda wanting to play it.
Currently playing: FFXIV (Elucifer Arclight, Leviathan server), LoL (Trash Tier Waifu, NA server), SMITE (Zacewing)
PSO2 wasn't going to be getting an NA release date anytime soon actually. They said they developed any kind of english translation for the SEA server. Heck if I remember right they said they never planned to release it on NA.

Hello there. My name's Otter and I have from the Space Coast (where space shuttles launch) of Florida. I've been involved in the 501st since 2007 and currently have a biker scout.
It's been a long time coming (thinking, anyway), but I'm finally starting on a Zam. After stalking the boards and reading through thread after thread, I'm realizing this is an amazingly difficult costume to pull off and probably doing Jango Fett would be easier. But there's just something so incredibly awesome/sexy/intriguing/fun about Zam - I have to do the costume.
I'm concerned because A) I'm 5'10" and I feel like that's too tall, B) I'm big boned and the actress definitely wasn't so maybe that will look weird?, C) if you girls have trouble with the helmet not fitting, then I definitely will. But I just can't get the costume out of my head.
I'm shooting for a completion date of about a year and a half so I can take my time and afford it. I'm not going for 100 percent screen accurate, but close enough is good for me. There's always time for upgrades.
So hi, hello. Thank you for all of your fantastic research over the years. It has been a blast reading it, and I look forward to piecing together my very own sexy, purple bounty huntress over the months.
