The Abominable Dr. Phibes is a 1971 British comedy horror film directed by Robert Fuest, written by William Goldstein and James Whiton,[1] and starring Vincent Price and Joseph Cotten.[2] Its art deco sets, dark humour and performance by Price have made the film and its sequel Dr. Phibes Rises Again cult classics.[1] The film also features Terry-Thomas and Hugh Griffith, with an uncredited Caroline Munro appearing in still photographs as Phibes's wife.
The film follows the title character, Phibes, who blames the medical team that attended to his wife for her death four years prior and sets out to exact vengeance on each one.[3] Phibes is inspired in his murderous spree by the Ten Plagues of Egypt from the Old Testament.[4]
Dr. Anton Phibes is an expert in theology and music who is thought to have been killed in a car crash in 1921; his beloved wife, Victoria, died during an operation just previous to the car crash. He survived the crash, horribly scarred by the accident and left unable to speak. He remakes his face with prosthetics and use his knowledge of acoustics to regain his voice. Resurfacing in 1925, Phibes believes that his wife died a victim of incompetent doctors, and begins elaborate plans to kill them.
Phibes begins his quest for vengeance with the help of his beautiful and silent female assistant Vulnavia, using the ten plagues of Egypt as a basis, wearing an amulet with Hebrew letters corresponding with the appropriate plagues as he commits the murders. After three doctors are killed, Inspector Trout, a detective from Scotland Yard, learns that they had all worked together under the direction of Dr. Vesalius, who reveals that all of the deceased had been on his team in Victoria's case, as well as four other doctors and a nurse. There is a report of another murder and Trout suspects Phibes is alive. They visit the Phibes mausoleum at Highgate Cemetery. They find ashes in a box in Phibes' coffin, which Trout believes are the remains of Phibes' chauffeur; Victoria's coffin is empty.
The police try their best but Phibes continues killing the remaining medical team staff, except for Dr. Vesalius. As the final victim, Phibes kidnaps the doctor's son, Lem, then calls Vesalius and tells him to come alone to his mansion on Maldene Square if he wants to save his son's life. Trout's advises against the action and Vesalius knocks the inspector unconscious. He races to Phibes' mansion, where he confronts the mad doctor. Phibes has placed Vesalius' son under anesthesia in order to place a small key implanted near the boy's heart that will unlock his restraints. Vesalius must perform the surgery within six minutes (the same amount of time Victoria was on the operating table before her death) to get the key before acid from a container above Lem's head falls and destroys his face. Vesalius succeeds and moves the table out of the way; Vulnavia, backing away from the police, is sprayed with the acid.
Convinced he has accomplished his vendetta, Phibes retreats to the basement of his mansion to inter himself in a stone sarcophagus containing the embalmed body of his wife. He drains out his own blood and replaces it with embalming fluid as the coffin's inlaid stone lid slides into place, concealing them both in darkness. Trout and the police arrive and discover that Phibes is no where to be found. Trout and Vesalius recall that the "final curse" was darkness, and they speculate that they will encounter Phibes again.

The film was shot at the "thirties era" sets at Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire. The cemetery scenes were shot in Highgate Cemetery, London.[5] The exterior of Dr. Phibes' mansion was Caldecote Towers at Immanuel College on Elstree Road.[6] The film was followed in 1972 by a sequel, titled Dr. Phibes Rises Again! Several other possible sequels were planned, including The Bride of Phibes, but none were ever produced.[7]
Critical reception[edit]
Critic Christopher Null wrote of the film, "One of the '70s juiciest entries into the horror genre, The Abominable Dr. Phibes is Vincent Price at his campy best, a famous concert organist[8] who is exacting revenge on the nine doctors he blames for botching his wife's surgery, which ended with her death. Through a series of tortuous means that would make a Bond villain green with envy, the hideous Phibes is matched by Joseph Cotten as the doc at the end of the road. A crazy script and an awesome score make this a true classic."[9]
In the early 2010s, Time Out conducted a poll with several authors, directors, actors and critics who have worked within the horror genre to vote for their top horror films.[10] The Abominable Dr. Phibes placed at number 83 on their top 100 list.[11]
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 81% based on 26 reviews and an average rating of 6.9/10.[12] The film was not highly regarded by American International Pictures' home office until it became a hit at the box office.[13]
Home media[edit]
MGM Home Entertainment released The Abominable Dr. Phibes on Region 1 DVD in 2001, followed by a tandem release with Dr.Phibes Rises Again in 2005. The film made its Blu-ray debut as part of Scream Factory's Vincent Price boxed set in Fall 2013.[14][15]
A limited edition two-disc set, The Complete Dr. Phibes, was released in Region B Blu-ray in 2014 by Arrow Films.[16]
The broadcast version of the film excises some of the more grisly scenes, such as a close-up of the nurse's locust-eaten corpse.
The music that Phibes plays on the organ at the beginning of the film is "War March of the Priests" from Felix Mendelssohn's incidental music to Racine's play Athalie.
The film's incidental score was composed by Basil Kirchin and includes 1920s-era source music, most notably "Charmaine" and "Darktown Strutters' Ball".
A music-related error or anachronism within the film's storyline is the song overlaid as a recorded performance by one of the ostensibly mechanized musicians in "Dr. Phibes Clockwork Wizards."[17] The pianist in this simulated animatronic band "sings" "One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)." Although the film's plot is set in England in the 1920s, this particular song did not exist until 1943, when Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer wrote it as part of their film score for The Sky's the Limit. Fred Astaire sang the jazz standard for the first time in that musical comedy.
A soundtrack LP was released concurrently with the film's appearance, which contained few selections from the score but rather was composed mostly of character vocalisations by Paul Frees.[18][19] A proper soundtrack was released on CD in 2004 by Perseverance Records and is now out of print.
A sequel, Dr. Phibes Rises Again, was released in 1972. It was also directed by Robert Fuest and stars Price as Phibes. Several other screenplays and sequels were proposed well into the 1980s featuring potential actors such as David Carradine, Roddy McDowall, and Orson Welles.[20]

I am in search of a really good french onion soup recipe. DH had one and he lost the recipe card, it was an excellent recipe, and I can't remember what was in it (other than onions & beef broth ).
I have tried a bunch of different recipes, just can't find anything that is really good.
So if anyone has one they like, I would love to see it! Thanks!

In addition to the beef broth and onions it is usually served topped with a toasted slice of french bread with melted white cheese. The "crouton" floats in the soup and soaks some of it up. You eat it with the soup.09-10-2008, 10:35 AM #5

I love french onion soup
I make mine with leeks instead of onions. They are much milder.

SailNet Community (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/)
- Electrical Systems (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/electrical-systems/)
- - Wiring Question (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/electrical-systems/66953-wiring-question.html)
Wiring Question
Im going to install a 12v TV/DVD and rewire my stereo this week on my 95 Catalina 30; wiring both to a circuit direct to the battery so I dont have to rescan stations every time I get on the boat (boat is kept in a marina other than occasional overnights at anchor).
The stereo (Sony car stereo) is pre-wired with a fused line to run to the battery directly (P.O. didn't connect when he installed the stereo). I looked at the specs on the 110v adapter for the TV. Its output is 12vdc/5amps. So the plan is to add a 12vdc plug for the TV in an outlet box on the forward bulkhead, with a 5amp breaker in the box so the outlet will be switched. Then run a line from the outlet box to the battery with a Anchor 5amp slow blow inline fuse where it connects to the battery post.
Why create a switched 12v outlet rather hardwire it? I want the option of switching it off if Im trying to conserve power or troubleshoot a problem; and the outlet gives me a place to plug in the extension cord for a spotlight at night.
My question is am I missing anything from a safety perspective? I want to breaker to trip before blowing the fuse. Is there any reason NOT to use a slow blow marine fuse in this application?
I don`t think you are missing anything from a safety perspective. But I would wire the stereo to a breaker (or fuse if that is what you have) and only run the memory wire to the battery direct. This will eliminate the risk of draining the batteries.
As for the tv, some are very voltage sensitive. 12 volts is what it requires but wiring around the power supply will give it as much as 14+ volts. Some tvs will tolerate this and some won`t. I also would not wire the tv direct to the battery. It should remember the channels whether powered or not.
A couple of clarifications. only the memory wire for the stereo will run to the battery. The power for the stereo is wired to the accessory circuit.
The TV can run on 12v or 110v depending on which cord/adapter you use. I'm planning on wiring it into the 12v system. My old TV (110v only) lost its channel memory when unplugged. I'm assuming this one will as well.
That makes sense for the stereo. But the constant 12 volts the adaptor for the tv outputs is what the tv is designed for. The "12 volts" on a boat is anywhere from 12 to 14.4 volts in reality. Some tvs don't mind, some are very voltage sensitive. A dc to dc adaptor would be a good idea. It would keep it within the tv specs and there would be no possible issues.
Hmm, now you've got me thinking.
Since the TV is designed as a 12v model that can run off a cigarette adapter I assumed its internal power supply would allow it to run on a range of voltages (say 11 to 14 volts) the way a laptop's will.
The TV is sold for trucks, RVs and boats.
In that case it should be ok. The tvs that I have had problems with were the household types with a separate power supply between the wall plug and the tv. Several manufacturers cautioned about plugging this type into a 12 volt battery system. Sharp and Sony specifically. I used to sell and install audio/video equipment.
Thanks, my biggest concern is safety, and it sounds like I'm OK with this approach.
You said you want the (5A) breaker to blow before the (5A) fuse. It won't. Breakers will tolerate significantly higher amperage than their rating for awhile before blowing.
Another question: how much does the spotlight draw? Maybe more than 5A!
Options include, inter alia, putting a larger fuse or breaker near the battery on the line to feed the outlet, and putting just a switch at the outlet. Then, you'd want a fuse sized for the DVD/TV in the line or cigarette lighter plug to the TV.
I think I'd use a 15A fuse or breaker near the battery, use AWG12/2 marine wire to the outlet, and install a healthy-sized toggle switch at the outlet if you want to switch it. Then, just run the "constant on" wire to the hot side of the switch, not all the way back to the battery, with an appropriate (small) in-line safety fuse.
The fuse near the battery should be larger than 5 amps. This will solve the problem of the fuse going before the breaker. As well, you don't install a fuse in that location to protect the tv, but to protect the wire itself.
I've modified my installation a bit based on feedback I received here and elsewhere.
I'll be staying with a 5 amp circuit, but changing from a slow blow to a standard inline Anchor fuse for exactly the reason that Bill mentioned -- the breaker will be slower to trip and I want to protect the TV.
I'll keep the breaker at the 12v outlet so I can turn off power to the outlet for troubleshooting or if I need to conserve power.
When I get to the boat this weekend I'm going to check my breaker panel and determine if Catalina installed a hot bus (always hot regardless of battery switch position). If not I'll add one as this will be a cleaner installation than tying multiple lines to a battery terminal.
I should be OK with the current draw from the spotlight. It's a standard West Marine light with a 12v plug that was previously used on a 5 amp circuit.
Thanks guys,

Charlie Sheen Talks Life Turnaround on the "Today" Show
He's in the midst of building his career back up after his highly-publicized "Two and a Half Men" meltdown, and Charlie Sheen talked about his turnaround during an appearance on the "Today" show on Thursday morning (March 29).
Clad in a suit and tie, the 46-year-old sat down with Matt Lauer to plug his upcoming FX series "Anger Management" - which makes its debut this June.
As for pushing through the volatile times, Sheen dished, "It was a team effort that was ultimately led by myself because it has to be, you know, to make a decision to fix, or, you know, change any situation. But yeah, no, there was a lot of close friends. There was a lot of support."
Then questioned whether or not this is where he thought he'd be a year removed from his breakdown, Charlie replied, "No, I thought ut would take at least 13 months. That's a joke. Sorry. Thank you. I didn't... I didn't really have a plan. I was just - I guess the plan was to just reintroduce myself to America and to the media and just say, sorry about that. But here's what's happening now."
Kind of relaunching?" Lauer followed-up.
"Yeah. It's a trip. It's not that much time to put this much back together," Sheen answered.

Exercise Profile
Biceps, Middle Back, Shoulders
Exercise Instructions
- Set up for the lat pull down by attaching a wide grip bar to the machine, selecting the weight you want to use, and adjusting the thigh pad.
- While standing, grasp the bar with an overhand grip at wider than shoulder width apart.
- Holding the bar, sit down on the machine. This should take the weight off the stack.
- Keeping your back straight, eyes facing forward, and without leaning back, slowly pull the bar down to your upper chest. Do not let the bar touch your chest.
- Pause, and slowly lower the weight back to the starting position. Do not let the weight touch the stack.
- Repeat for desired reps.
Lat Pulldown Tips:
- A huge problem with the lat pull down is that some lifters can not isolate the lats and end up using their biceps to do a lot of the work. To isolate the lats, use a wide grip and when you're pulling down, focus on your lats pulling inwards as they go down. Imagine them pulling down in a semi-circle motion.
- It's also common for some lifters to lean back and swing the weight down. This is cheating and will not get the maximum results from the lat pull down. Keep sitting upright throughout the movement.
- Finally, if you find your forearms are burning out before you finish the set, grip with bar with a "hook" grip. This means you do not place your thumb around the bottom of the bar. A hook grip takes some of the strain off your forearms when performing pulling exercises. Never try to pull the bar down using your forearms. The forearms will simply be used to hold the bar.

Ever since the first time I saw Boba Fett in Star Wars, life has been a little different for me. Boba is just Awesome in virtually every way. From his extremely complex personality to his complete battle harden fighting suit.
I chose to start building my own Boba Fett suit right after I finished High School a little over a year ago. I thought it would take years to build a well made Boba suit, but then I found a little website called The Dented Helmet. The amount of detail this website has is mind boggling at best. And after seeing many of this sites amazing costumes, never have I felt more encouraged.
Well, a little over a year later, I am proud to say my suit is 99.9% finished. Of course I still need to do some touch ups here and their, and fix little things like this and that but for the most part its wearable. I would love to also thank all the people who's Items I bought from too.

Have you attempted and failed at practicing meditation? You are not alone! All of us lead hectic lives and the whole idea of meditating, for the calmness that it is deemed to bring, sounds excellent. However when we sit down, the mind sound can be aggravating, disruptive and totally irritating. Some friends have reported that they have actually stopped meditating since increasing their upset rather than lowering it!
Here is an ancient route for you, practiced by ascetics the world over, it is known as the King of meditations in Sanskrit.
Mahamantra Meditation: Making a sound offers the mind something to concentrate on, so that it is not roaming everywhere. The sound literally muffles all thought! The vibrations of the sound resonate in the body, with the effect of quieting down the mind. This extremely rapidly results in an intense silence within. When you stop the noise, the body/mind/spirit connection as in suspended animation, and quite quiet
Use a location where you will not be disturbed, where you can make noise and not be sidetracked by others or yourself. Sit easily with your back straight either using a chair or, if you want, in the Classic Lotus position. Proceed to hum intensely by making the noise of the letter M – nearly like a bumble bee. Just Mmmmmmm. Make this sound long and loud. Technique making the noise as though you are working out. Do it with strength and concentration. If your mind wanders away, bring it back to the sound. This "exercise" approach keeps your interest engaged. If your consciousness disengages, hum louder! Muffle those thoughts with the sound!
Do the sound meditation for 5- 15 minutes, and then sit quietly with soft music playing in the background. Relax to the tunes.
This mind-calming exercise can cut through mind noise like a dagger through warm butter and render you peaceful, unwinded and in tranquility in an extremely short time. Variants on this meditation consist of changing the noise to a Huuu sound. The Huu sound resonates in a different way and many people report that the pitch changes automatically as they do it. This attunement to the sound/energy flow, provides a sensation of oneness with all. Enjoy!

Motor racing-Lotus locked out of hospitality, freight delayed
By Alan Baldwin
SUZUKA, Japan, Sept 24 (Reuters) - The troubled Lotus Formula One team were locked out of their paddock hospitality at the Japanese Grand Prix on Thursday while freight, including engines, was also held up by payment problems.
French driver Romain Grosjean, who would normally hold a press briefing in the facility where team members and guests are catered for, conducted it instead out in the paddock with reporters sheltering under umbrellas in the rain.
Equipment was piled up outside the empty hospitality under a tarpaulin.
A team spokesman said there had been a 'slight delay' complicated by the time difference with Europe and well-documented cash-flow problems.
"The guys are going to do their best as always," said Grosjean, speaking in the afternoon as the Lotus freight finally arrived and was delivered to mechanics who faced a long night building the cars for Friday practice.
"As long as they catch up by tomorrow at 2 PM I'm happy," added the Frenchman, who is due to sit out first practice to make way for British reserve Jolyon Palmer.
Grosjean, who finished third in last month's Belgian Grand Prix, saw no reason why the team could not again rise above their troubles.
"It does not mean we can't fight for podiums this weekend. Look at Spa, we had bailiffs in the garage and we ended up on the podium," he said. Continuación...

The Lord of Castle Black (2003)
by Steven Brust
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Steven Brust has been one of my favorite authors for several years now. I have followed the adventures of Vlad and picked up a few other books by Brust.
I stumbled upon a very nice 1st edition hardcover of "The Lord of Castle Black" the other day at one of the nicest used bookstores I've had the pleasure to peruse and just had to snag it. Of course I have the paperback version for awhile now, but I do have a hardcover fetish.
Castle Black is part of Bursts' "The Khaavren Romances" and is of course a good read (is there anything by Brust that isn't?). For fans of Vlad the writing style in the Romances can be a bit of a shock. At my 1st go I actually had to dig out a copy of Dragon to confirm that the author was in fact the same!
Brust meets Dumas and decides to toss the Three Musketeers on their heads. Great fun and good action makes this a book you really should give a go.
Morrolan, the future lord of Castle Black, must help the new Empress keep her throne. Having the Orb and all doesn't help much, with the Empire splintered many ways, and no idea who is on what side. However, having Morrolan on your side along with his powerful friends is a very good start.
If you like Brust's other books about Vlad and the Empire, you'll like this one.
Book 4 of the Khaavren series-the plot thickens!: As others have mentioned, this may be Book 2 of the Viscount trilogy, but it's actually book 4 of a series, and you DO need to read the previous 3 in order to appreciate this one.
I have noticed, as time goes by, that there is a pattern to opinions about the Khaavren series: those who started reading Steven Brust's Vlad Taltos series first, and bought one of the Khaavren books because it was by Brust, don't seem to appreciate the Khaavren books as much. Those of us, on the other hand, who started on Brust with this series, or with some of Brust's other fantasies entirely, seem to enjoy the Khaavren books more. I believe it's a question both of writing style, and of one's definition of action. Thus, if you really, really like the Vlad Taltos books, and you expect these to be similar, it may be that you will be less than enchanted with these.
I believe that those who have read a lot of older literature - Dumas, as many have mentioned, and definitely Shakespeare - will enjoy this book, and the Khaavren series, more than the Vlad Taltos fans will, on average. (Of course, every reader has a unique background and a unique perspective - don't let me stop you from reading!!) Certainly a background of the Three Musketeers (and not the movie, people!) helps one appreciate what's going on here - but a knowledge of, say, the battles in Shakespeare's Richard and Henry plays, does not come at all amiss. And a comfort level with the intricate language of Shakespeare, as well as the overwrought prose of Dumas, gives one the stamina to follow Paarfi's extensive perorations.
Let me also mention that there's a dash of Romeo and Juliet in here, with lovers from different houses and their disapproving families. Those who feel that there is not enough action in this book, apparently do not consider a good heartbreaking love story to be action. But it is! So is the evolution of the magic taking place - if moving hundreds of warriors via magic/mental powers, over hundreds of miles, which has never been done before in this world, is not action, then what is? There are no slow moments if one is interested in emotion and magic as well as in swords and battle; there is always something happening between people.
As with previous books in the series, if you do like it, it has an effect on you: you talk funny for days afterward, if not weeks! Hey, if you are planning on taking the GREs or GMATs, this series is a terrific vocabulary builder!! There will be nothing in the verbal section that you can't handle, if you enjoy and appreciate Paarfi!
In short - if you already like this series, this volume is a must; if you like Dumas and Shakespeare, you'll like this; if you like Vlad Taltos, then start in on this series in cautious, easy steps.
Some books I love for the characters, some I love for the plots, some for the premise. This series I love for the writing, the sheer joy of playing with words that is evident on every page. I'd probably have given it 5 stars even if nothing happened, just because I had so much fun reading it.
The Lord of Castle Black is volume 2 of the third book in the series that starts with The Phoenix Guards. It takes place in the same universe as his Vlad Taltos series, but is written in a completely different style.
In this volume, Zerika has brought the Orb out of the Paths of the Dead, but only a few people know this--most everyone else thinks she died there. There are several factions fighting for control, including a pretender to the throne; Zerika's small band, including our old pals Khaavren, Pel, Aerich, & Tazendra; and Morrolan, who's just taken over his estates. There's action and intrigue as they maneuver and fight each other.
There's also the story of how Morrolan develops magic and how he comes to have a floating castle (the Castle Black of the title), as well as his introduction to and subsequent alliance with Sethra Lavode, the enchantress of Dzur Mountain.
And there's Khaavren's son Piro, the Viscount of Adrilankha, with an ill-fated love affair and a reunion with his father.
So there's action, romance, intrigue, and magic--plenty to keep the story moving. But if the writing doesn't grab you, I'd think it would drive you nuts. This is definitely one of those YMMV series. If you're not fond of, say, first person narratives, you can often make an exception if the story's really good. I'm not sure that would be the case with this series, because the writing is so distinctive, it's almost a character in itself. Here's a sample:
..."you must understand that this answer, laconic as it is, only produces more questions."
"How, does it?"
"I promise you it does."
"Well, I cannot help that."
"But can you answer them?
"My dear sir, should you but ask, I will turn my entire attention to doing so."
"Very well, let me begin then."
"You perceive that I am listening."
If that makes you want to smack one of the speakers, the series probably isn't for you.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0812534190, Mass Market Paperback)
With his bestselling novel The Phoenix Guards, Steven Brust took readers to a time a thousand years before the events of his popular Vlad Taltos novels. Its sequel, Five Hundred Years After, was hailed by Science Fiction Chronicle as the best fantasy novel of the year.
Now, in the Viscount of Adrilankha series, Brust has returned to the Khaavren epic, first with The Paths of the Dead, and now with its direct continuation, The Lord of Castle Black...a novel that gives Vlad Taltos and Khaavren fans alike a new look at one of Brust's most popular characters, the Dragonlord Morrolan.
Along the way, we'll also encounter swordplay, intrigues, quests, battles, romance, snappy dialogue, and the missing heir to the Imperial Throne. It's an old-fashioned adventure, moving at a twenty-first-century pace.

I load my .22LR Mini with Federal premium ammunition -- it goes for three dollars and change per box of 50, rather than the cheaper stuff you can get for under a dollar. I figure I want the best .22 ammo I can get if that's all I'm shooting.

OK just got my new mimi mag.
What ammo do you guys think I should carry in it? The pawn shop that my son work's in had .22 mag solid points.
So thats what I have in it for now.
Tell me what you think .
I load my .22LR Mini with Federal premium ammunition -- it goes for three dollars and change per box of 50, rather than the cheaper stuff you can get for under a dollar. I figure I want the best .22 ammo I can get if that's all I'm shooting.
Carry It In Good Health.
Phil already has it covered.
Liberty Over Tyranny Μολὼν λαβέ
22lr for a mini-mag?
No, Phil doesn't have it covered. ;)
This is what Jim March at THR has to say on the subject:I can't confirm it for myself since I don't currently own one, but it would be a starting point for me if I did.Ammo: there are ONLY two loads I'd carry for personal defense - the CCI MaxiMag +V and the "TNT" flavor of that same round. Both use 30grain JHPs and get about 1,200fps from a Black Widow 2" barrel (1,400 from a MiniMaster 4"). The "TNT" uses a Sierra bullet with a bigger JHP. Basically, if you want more reliable expansion go TNT, if you want a deeper punch go with the original formula.
Phil said that he loaded his 22LR NAA Mini with Federal Premium .22LR...
I was thinking more like FEDERAL Premium (Hyper Velocity) .22WMR for ron8903 & his .22 Mag...which is very high quality ammo with excellent quality control.
Though not sure how fantastic it would be...ripping out of a barrel that is only about 1 1/8" in length.
I keep forgetting that folks sometimes are unable to read my mind. Sorry. I should have been more clear...my fault.
I have not as yet found any Maxi-Mag+V but am on lookout. I have both cylinders for my mini but only use the WMR cyl for BUG use.
Thus far mine has been stoked with the Std Maxi-Mag hollow points - 40 grain.

This much is true -- I don't load my .22LR mini with .22 magnum ammo. ;)
BTW, while we're on the subject...
How shootable are the 22lr models? My neighborhood shop has one on consignment for $99. At that price, I can afford to play. If it's there after Christmas, I may see if the guy will go down on price a bit.
The .22 LR mini-revolver is... well, the smallest repeating firearm you can buy, as far as I know. Its incredibly small size makes it the most discreet pistol on the market. The side-effect is that you really have to strangle the hell out of it with those little bird's head grips because it wants to leap up out of your hand on each shot. You'll be shooting at very close range in a self-defense situation, so I don't see this as a problem, but it demands practice. The first time I ever fired one I was shocked at just how much it moves in the hand when it goes off.
The upside is that even with my big fat hands, the gun sits there very naturally. I have no trouble cocking and firing it until it is empty, as long as I bear down on it to keep it from getting away from me.
Recently I installed a set of the holster-grips -- a big plastic thing that is like the grip of a folding knife. The gun folds up and out and locks into place. When closed, it sits completely inside the holster grips, which have a plastic clip attached. These afford a much, much bigger handle (it's bigger than the gun, after all). They aren't terribly ergonomic because of the shape dictated by the shape of the gun, but they're very easy to hold onto while firing the weapon. Installing them compromises the small size that is the gun's selling point, if you ask me, but the upside is you don't have to monkey around with pocket holsters or anything.
I have an NAA Guardian in .25 NAA that rides nicely in a leather pocket holster that has supplanted my mini as my pocket gun, simply because I am testing it for an article.
I have smaller hands , and don't have a problem with the recoil of my .22 LR. It jumps a bit, but not too bad. I use Federal ammo for carry.
i dont think i could even shoot that thing Way to small for my hands i fear
Thank's for all of the info.
I love this little handgun. My brother-in-law gave me two boxes of
CCI maxi mags 40 Gr. hps ,that should get me by at the range.
Hope you all have a grate x-mas.
I load my mini with TRACERS. I figure for it to be effective anyway, I'll have to use it at contact range, jam it into the perp's eyeball and then pull the trigger. If I'm too far away to reach that target, I want to get his attention. Thus the TRACER ammo.Originally Posted by ron8903

Frank Lloyd Wright is widely considered to be Americas greatest architect and one of its most significant artists. In a remarkable career spanning over seventy years, he created over 1,000 designs, 500 of which were realized. Sadly, nearly 20% of his executed works have been destroyed because of fire, neglect or development.
In 1985, a professor at the State University of New York at Buffalo, while attempting to restore the Darwin Martin House (then owned by SUNY), conceived the idea of a Wright building owners conference. Shortly after, a conference geared towards directors of publicly-accessible Wright buildings was held. This initial conference confirmed the need for a larger organization to include Wright homeowners as part of a total conservation effort.
By the time of the 1987 conference, a crisis was occurring in the Wright decorative art marketplace. The demand for Wright furniture and artifacts had reached unprecedented prices. Windows, furniture and architectural ornamentation were appearing on the market and were being gobbled up by deep-pocketed dealers and collectors. At this time there was a vigorous move to establish a dynamic organization, dedicated to conservation, education, and the protection of Wrights remaining architectural heritage. It was suggested that this new organization be open to everyone, not just property owners. The seeds were planted for the Conservancy.
In 1989, at the annual meeting at Wingspread (Herbert Johnson Sr. House, Racine, WI), the decision was made to formalize the meetings and to create a non-profit organization, the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy. In 1990, the first official Conservancy conference was held at Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Since the Conservancys formation, its constituency has grown to include thousands of members and supporters worldwide. Membership is open to anyone interested in Wright, including architects, scholars, preservationists, architecture buffs, artisans and, especially, Wright building owners.
Although many Wright structures are designated National Historic Landmarks or are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, such designation does not guarantee that these structures are not threatened due to homeowner disinterest and/or encroaching development. Other structures present preservation challenges beyond the financial means of their owners, placing a premium on the Conservancys efforts as the only preservation organization concerned solely with the entire body of Wrights work.
The establishment of the Conservancys Lewis-Haines Revolving Fund in 2000, through the very generous contribution of a Wright homeowner, has stimulated the Conservancys ability to become more active and aggressive in the rescue of endangered structures. The Conservancy has played an integral role in the saving of a number of houses, including Auldbrass Plantation (1940, Yemassee, SC), the Allen Friedman House (1956, Bannockburn, IL) the Goetsch-Winckler House (1939, Okemos, MI), the Gordon House (1956, Wilsonville, OR), the Westcott House (1904, Springfield, OH), the Glasner House (1905, Glencoe, IL) and the Duncan House (1957, Lisle, IL).

An Inflation Dove Rises at the FedBy
Back in 1994, as the most junior Federal Reserve governor, Janet L. Yellen was the last to speak when Fed officials made their weekly presentations to the board about the economy. "Somehow we'd go around the table and then get to Janet and she would find a key issue in the briefing that others hadn't seen," says Donald Kohn, then a Fed official who was later vice-chairman of the board. Yellen went on to serve as President Bill Clinton's chief economist and as President of the San Francisco Fed. In October she succeeded Kohn as vice- chairman of the board at a time when the Fed is under fierce political attack— and as divided as it's been in decades.
With commodity prices leaping higher, critics inside and outside the Fed have accused it of risking an outbreak of inflation by embarking on a plan to buy $600 billion of Treasury securities, a strategy Yellen strongly supports. On Capitol Hill, Representative Ron Paul, author of a book titled End the Fed, now heads a House financial services subcommittee on monetary policy. The Texas Republican criticized the central bank at a Feb. 9 hearing for failing either to contain inflationary pressures or reduce unemployment.
Yellen, 64, has the unenviable task of helping Chairman Ben Bernanke calm this storm. He has assigned her to head a communications subcommittee to figure out how to give the Fed a more unified public voice despite discord among its members. He also has put her in charge of a new group of economists and other Fed officials who will try to spot signs of a financial crisis before it occurs. "I've developed a deep and abiding respect for her judgment and skill as a policy maker," says the Fed chief.
The expected retirement of Kansas City Fed President Thomas M. Hoenig later this year will leave Yellen the only central bank member who was making policy during the last two times the Fed embarked on a credit-tightening cycle, in 1994 and 2004. That will give her opinion added heft in debates as the Fed weighs when to begin withdrawing the money it has pumped into the economy.
Yellen was born in Brooklyn, graduated from Brown University in 1967, and earned a doctorate in economics from Yale in 1971. She met her husband, Nobel prize-winning economist George Akerlof, at a lunch at the Fed in 1977 when she was a central bank official and he was a visiting fellow. Yellen spent most of her career teaching at Berkeley and researching labor markets. She and Akerlof have written papers on unemployment, wages, street gangs, and out-of-wedlock births.
Yellen says she went into economics because it provides a logical way to grapple with questions affecting human welfare. "I was of a generation that still was affected by the Great Depression," she says. "I didn't live through it, but my parents grew up during it." She has a reputation as one of the Fed's more dovish policy makers due to her concern about unemployment. She's a "fierce advocate" of the Fed's dual mandate to promote price stability and full employment, says Laurence H. Meyer, who served on the Fed board with Yellen in 1996 and 1997. Some Republicans believe the Fed should focus only on inflation.
Yellen says she feels "very comfortable" working at Bernanke's right hand; "my policy views I believe are very close to his." Former Fed Vice-Chairman Alan S. Blinder says he can imagine them disagreeing if Bernanke wants to raise rates to cap inflation at a time when unemployment is still high. For now, Blinder adds, that's not an issue, since Bernanke thinks inflation is too low.
Yellen's first challenge will be to sort out the communication issues bedeviling the Fed. "She is concerned about the cacophony of multiple voices seemingly contradicting one another," says Blinder, her co-author on a book about the economy in the 1990s. Yellen puts it more diplomatically. "Participants in the [Federal Open Market Committee] have a right to express their own views," she says. "We need to make sure, though, that the central message of what policy is comes across in a way that's not completely confusing." Although Yellen declined to give details, Fed officials have talked about holding press conferences for Bernanke at least four times a year after FOMC members update their economic forecasts, and issuing longer statements after policy meetings.
Philadelphia Fed President Charles I. Plosser says he would be concerned if the Fed adopted a communications strategy that stifled dissent. He says a public airing of the Fed's differences gives the country a truer picture of what's going on at the central bank. Plosser, who says he likes Yellen, will probably be on the other side of the debate when it comes to timing the next rate hike. He puts more emphasis on economic growth in assessing price pressures in the economy. The faster the economy grows, the bigger the risk of higher inflation and the greater the need to increase interest rates. Yellen focuses on slack, particularly in the unemployment rate. So if the economy is growing briskly but joblessness is still high, an inflation outbreak is unlikely.
Yellen says a lesson of 1994 and 2004 is that the Fed can't wait for unemployment to fall back to where it was before withdrawing stimulus from the economy. "You may have to take steps when it's not 100 percent popular to do so, to begin removing monetary accommodation when you don't judge the economy to be back at full employment," she says. "We know policy operates with a lag, and we have to make sure we act in a timely way." Yet Yellen seems in no hurry for the Fed to start tightening the monetary screws. "We want to be patient here," she adds. "We don't want to get ahead of where we should be."
The bottom line: Janet Yellen, the Fed board's most prominent dove, wants the central bank to send a clear message at a time of internal dissent.

#SoutheastLove | Garber & I take a field trip to Whaley's in Navy Yard
David Garber and I decided to make an impromptu #SoutheastLove trip to Whaley's in Navy Yard. If you enjoy fresh shellfish this place is for you! Garber and I enjoyed some east coast oysters and some uni, very good! Afterwards a dip in the Navy Yard wading pools was the perfect way to spend a Friday evening. It makes me very excited for the 11th Street Bridge Park to come, opportunities to east, shop and play on our side of the banks of the Anacostia.

When Mother Nature Conspires Against You!
Mention hypothermia and most folks think of sub-zero temperatures and snowbanks waist deep. Quite the contrary, you can die of hypothermia in 50 degree weather. Imagine the following:
You are miles from camp and come to a shallow stream barely above your ankles. Having bought Danner boots with Gortex, you roll up your Levis and confidently begin fording the stream.
Not paying attention, you slip on some mossy rocks in the water and land on your back knocking the wind from your sails. You lie in the stream for just a few seconds stunned at the turn of events. Getting back to your feet you are soaked from head to toe, your Levis and cotton sweatshirt are dripping wet. Those fancy boots have now become water storage containers as you wring out the cotton socks you bought because the wool ones felt funny.
Its late in the afternoon as the sun sets behind the ridge, the wind comes up and the temperature begins to drop. The water dripping from your shirt runs down your hands and the wind chill starts to take effect. You stumble occasionally and continue to blow hot air into your hands in an attempt to warm them up. Its still a long walk back to camp across those barren ridges, and with darkness approaching it will take longer.
At a comfy 50 degrees with a 5-10 mph wind blowing you can die under the above circumstances. Wet cotton clothes, poor planning and preparedness are to blame.... Mother Nature rubs her hands together and claims another victim.
Heat stroke
You arise early in the morning to an overcast sky. Another beautiful day in paradise! You are in Arizona with a once in a lifetime mule deer tag. Running a little behind, you leave camp without taking any water. You are just going to hunt the canyon to the east of camp and return for lunch in a few hours. Its cool out, its overcast, you wont need any water until lunch.
About 10:00 am you catch the flicker of a deers tail as it breaks over the distant ridge only 400 yards ahead. These narrow ravines and draws are excellent cover for mule deer, you quicken your pace to close the gap between you and the deer.
The ridge was considerably steeper than it looked when you first spotted the deer, the overcast sky has vanished like tax dollars given to a politician. You are panting slightly as you break over the ridge line to see a magnificent buck staring at you from the next ridge over. Hes got you pegged, slowly lifting your rifle he bolts over the ridge. The chase is on! If you can only get a decent shot with your Holland Rifle the trophy of a lifetime will be yours!
Running through the mesquite and ironwood trees, a branch knocks your hat from your head. No time to waste, youll pick it up on the way back, you keep running after the buck. Its now 11:30 and youve spotted the buck twice more, but hes been obstructed by brush and an ethical shot is out of the question. Those horns, the mass, the matching drop tines, this is the buck of your dreams. You push on, the terrain and ground cover are changing. The buck has turned south and is headed for the big flat in the distance. If you hurry you can get to the rocky outcropping. Youll have an elevation advantage over the country and the buck cant possibly escape.

Back for His
Friday, September 28, 2007
By Cathy Jan, Yale Sports Publicity
"When all you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail."
While the origin of this quip is debatable, it is generally credited to Bernard Baruch, an advisor to both Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Almost one hundred years later, Baruch's quote seems to fit Lee Driftmier, Yale football's 2005 Hammer of the Year award recipient.
As a linebacker for all but three games of his football career, a good day for Driftmier involves running down the field and hammering into people with all of his 230 pounds. Even his own teammates, whom he practices with every day, admit to feeling a ripple of insecurity as they see Driftmier's No. 50 jersey approaching. It's no wonder that when he's rushing at opponents, they're generally concerned. Driftmier's ability to read plays early on sets him apart.
"I've always been able to quickly look for keys as to what the play will be," he explains.
Driftmier is able to visualize each player and make a good guess as to where that player is going.
"I'm also always looking for the running back and figuring out what holes he might go through," he describes.
While Driftmier modestly denies having any natural talent, Yale Associate Head Coach Rick Flanders disagrees. Flanders is the defensive coordinator and works closely with the linebackers.
"He does use his smarts to gain the edge, but he has good ability also," he says.
The combination of his intuition and talent are powerful, but Driftmier has added hard work and fierce competitiveness to the formula. This has not gone unnoticed by the coaches of other teams, as he received honorable mention All-Ivy in 2005.
"Lee came with all the talents, but has really worked to become a great leader and student of the game," Flanders adds.
His teammates know that Driftmier hates to lose, and does whatever it takes to win. This made it even more difficult for him to sit on the sidelines, injured, while his team was crowned co-Ivy League Champions last year. Driftmier had been known to take drastic measures to stay on the field for his team.
"He played in the state championship game our senior year with a cast on each arm and didn't miss a play," Matt Coombs, his high school captain and current teammate, reminisces. "He basically just sucked it up because he knew it would help us win."
Driftmier has continued to be a great team player, providing leadership and a laid-back attitude off the field that often pokes out beneath his competitive exterior. He regularly spends time with the younger players, helping them feel more comfortable with the game and recognize plays.
Junior Matt Plummer, a fellow linebacker, attests, "Lee has really helped me learn the position and I'm really grateful to be able to learn from him."
Having played football since the fourth grade, this will be Driftmier's 13th season in a helmet and pads.
"I was going to play soccer, but my friend's dad who was a football coach wouldn't let me," Driftmier laughs.
Yale owes a lot to this man. Driftmier's last season was peppered with big plays, including five interceptions, three fumble recoveries and numerous stops on short yardage runs by the other team.
"He made them all and when the game was tight, he played even better," says Flanders.
Driftmier played alongside fellow Bulldog seniors Matt and John Coombs at Bellevue Senior High School. A perennial powerhouse, the team has been state champions five out of the past six years, including Driftmier's junior and senior years. In his high school career, Driftmier only lost four games. He made the all-state team for both of his positions, linebacker and offensive guard, in 2002, along with playing varsity basketball.
During his junior year, given his stellar grades, Driftmier made the decision to play at an Ivy League school. Although Penn and Princeton were frontrunners, Driftmier made a recruiting trip to Yale during the weekend after a tragedy in January of 2003. In the early morning, a sport utility vehicle filled with Yale students returning back to campus from New York crashed into a jackknifed tractor-trailer on I-95. Four were killed, including members of the football and baseball teams. The Yale administration did all it could to soften the shock, including arranging a gathering in the John J. Lee Amphitheater that Driftmier attended.
"I saw a different side of Yale that very few graduating classes experience," he says somberly. "It was an impressive showing by the community."
The experience convinced Driftmier that Yale was the place to spend the next stage of his life.
In his freshman year at Yale, Driftmier played on the JV team and in four varsity games, mostly on special teams. He earned his first letter in 2004 as a sophomore, playing in all 10 varsity games and making three tackles.
Then in 2005, the game-breaking plays started appearing, one after another. Starting all 10 games, he recovered a league-high three fumbles and tied for the team lead in interceptions with five. He also led the team with 54 solo tackles and a total of 89.
The accolades also started piling up. In a dominant win over Columbia, he stepped in for two interceptions in the second quarter on his way to a Division I-AA Player of the Week distinction. He repeated the performance against Princeton and added a fumble recovery that led to the same award. Driftmier also earned recognition from other sources, including ECAC Player of the Week and Walter Camp Player of the Game against Columbia. He was also honored by the team in six games, receiving the Defensive Line and Defensive Back Awards, as well as the Hammer Award, twice each.
Then Driftmier was forced to take last season off. He needed surgery on both of his shoulders, which had been breaking down slowly since high school. While it was extremely difficult not playing alongside his teammates, Driftmier spent the semester doing rehab and working in the athletic department.
Now in his last season of eligibility, Driftmier still has some pain in his shoulders but is ready to see the long hours with the physical therapy pay off. Flanders agrees.
"I have a lot of respect for the way Lee has worked to come back and only hope he gets a chance to reap the benefits."
Driftmier will graduate this fall with a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.
"[Returning as a fifth-year senior] actually worked out for me because I can now get a B.S. instead of a B.A., since I got that extra summer to do research," he explains. Driftmier spent this past summer working in Assistant Professor Antonia Monteiro's lab, researching the role of sexually dimorphic black spots on the Pieris rapae butterfly.
After graduation, Driftmier would like to return to his beloved West Coast and find a job. His relaxed attitude shows as he puts his football season first and says he'll worry about everything else later. While Driftmier enjoys his studies in biology, he is unsure if he wants to continue in the field.
"I'd like to be in Seattle," he says, "but I really have no idea. I'm open to anything."
Although football has played such a large part in his life, Driftmier has no plans to continue playing in the near future.
"My parents have been coming to my games all my life," he says. "Just one more season."
He acknowledges the constant support his parents, Rick and Karen, have provided, from driving him to practice in elementary school to nudging him through the rebellious teenage years.
"They love football, but I wouldn't be at Yale without them pushing me to go study," he says with a smile.
As the Yale football season kicks off, Driftmier's smile and skills will be welcomed back for one more season. Hammer on, Lee.

Tanzania #3 — Planning for the Journey
This blog post, written by Sam Morse and Zz Salvador, details some of the planning the group did this past weekend to prepare for their trip and their work at JBFC:
Sunday at the Red Roof Inn started with a casual walk down 5&10 to the South Deerfield Dunkin Donuts. Skipping along, led by today's student risk manager (daily assigned leadership role), Katherine Goguen, the group loaded up on Dunkin' energy in order to attack our last day of prep. #Tanzaniarunsondunkin'.
After an hour-long lesson plan preparation session, each group completed the necessary topics to teach 4th and 7th graders Math and Science. William Ughetta, while completing a fairly complex 4th-grade science lesson plan, full of charts and graphs, which probably would have stumped a majority of DA freshman, refocused his plan for 7th graders.
The next part of our day was devoted to gathering supplies, for the group and our own personal needs. After a few power claps and a fairly uneventful trip to Target, the group headed off to Whole Foods for lunch and any of our food desires. The group split up, collecting any necessary nutritional or needed snack. Even after enjoying the buffets and casseroles of DA, the group will probably have to get use to eating humbly for the next few weeks.
As evening settled over western Massachusetts, the group drove down Albany Road once more. A slight feeling of melancholy overcame us, created from seeing our second home, mixed with the anxious jitters of going somewhere new. But we headed up the Koch's glass staircase as if class had never ended, ready to show our presentations.
Young and old, anxious and curious sets of eyes gazed at the three, soon-to-be Tanzania travelers. David Kim, Meghan Mozea, and Katherine Goguen enlightened the group on the developing world's malnutrition issues. Stunting, Edema, Wasting: three powerful, new words that seemed a little more realistic for the seventeen people in Koch Room 305. Even though most of us have never come into contact with the reality of these words, the presenting group's information seeped a little deeper into each intrigued and engaged mind. A more solemn expression went over each of the student's faces, as some of the harsh realities of the developing world appear on the PowerPoint.
Then each group summarized JBFC's four pillars: Agriculture, Health, Refuge, and Education. David Miller summed up the presentation session profoundly: "The fog in my mind has cleared. I now have a better understanding of our purpose in Tanzania." He was referring to his earlier "personal weather report exercise" where students expressed their feelings and concerns with weather terminology. Most people felt 'sunny' or 'clear', but others had anxious 'fog' on their horizons. David knew the purpose of our trip, but concluded the meeting with a sentence, which tied our first meeting of the trip to our last one before setting out.
'Alleviating extreme poverty' was the subtitle advertised with the trip we have just begun. Each student on our trip has the privileged opportunity to make a difference thousands of miles away. And the presentations that ranged from the 'ethics of permaculture' to 'Montessori teaching styles' reminded each of us of our intended goals.
The members of our expedition include Katherine Chen, William Ughetta, Tamara Deshong, Ali Barber, Lucy Lytle, Mirjam Keochakian, Nahla Achi, Sam Morse, Zz Salvador, Christie Jok, David Kim, Meghan Mozea, and Katherine Goguen. Our trip faculty leaders include David Thiel, Sheryl Cabral, Yanik Nichols, and David Miller. We also have a special guest joining us for the trip, Bill Frederick, who is going to help both our group and the staff at JBFC to stay safe and healthy throughout our trip.
On Monday, 3/10/14, the group energetically departed the Red Roof Inn (aka Four Seasons of Deerfield) around 2:45 AM (woot woot). We then took a quick pit stop at the 24-hour diner in Deerfield to fuel our bodies and get us excited for the adventure that lies ahead. Sheryl Cabral aided the 'one man' kitchen staff in completing our orders of vanilla milkshakes and bacon.
We then started the four-hour journey on a green machine to JFK. Our flight leaves approximately at 11 AM. Supposedly Sheryl 'Anna' Cabral is participating in a 'Walking Dead' four-season marathon. Send us your prayers.
We will be in touch again from Dubai. (Home of Nahla Achi)!
Power Clap on tatu (three in Swahili) moja (1), mbili (2), tatu (3)…
Swahili phrase of the day: Habari Gani – How are you
Today's communication leaders,

Attic Insulation
When the blown in insulation was installed should there have been a certificate of some sort stapled inside the attic to say what company did the work? Since we are the only owners of this home I would like to find out if I can actually go back to the town and find out if I can hold them responsible for lack of insulation R value...The blown in is only 6" - 9" deep up there. We live in Innisfil Ontario so we get some pretty cold winters here...I was told we should have at least 12-16" of blown in insulation..I had previously posted about adding baffles between each roof joists etc... The builders are still here in town building but we are no longer covered for any home warranty now that the 7 years are up...The reason we didn't have this house inspected is because the original people who had this home built apparently couldn't get financing so the house sat for 1 1/2 and was used as a show house...Never did we ever think to check the attic and when i mentioned getting a home inspection they said "It's a brand new house you don't need one" I'm kicking myself now that I have watched Mike Holmes talk about how important home inspections are regardless of the age of the house...Live and Learn...Next house home inspection will be number 1 on my list!!! Can anyone give me some suggestions on what I might be able to do..Thankssssssssss
Ah, the old "you don't need an inspection on this here new house" line.
Our township inspector always required the document just inside the attic access but its anybody's guess if there is one in yours.

Take Two #30: Growing Up
By Kyra-lin Hom
One of my best friends is getting married. (!!!) It's been a long process and a three-year engagement, but it is finally happening. Just a couple of days ago, a few of us bridesmaids and the bride-to-be met up in north Seattle for her final dress fitting. (Again, !!!) Minus the gastro-intestinal disasters, it felt like a scene out of the recent film Bridesmaids (2011). We couldn't have been less of a homogenous bunch if we'd tried. I was in sweats from spending the last 12 hours watching my niece, another girl was in her workshop finest, a third could have been cut from a classy Madmen poster and the bride-to-be was her standard gothed-out self. Needless to say, we're all pretty good friends.
So why am I going into all of this? Because one of the advantages of having had several of the same friends for the last near ten years is that you get to go through all of these life transitions together. At 12, we were still in middle school and just beginning our forays into the intriguing territory of boyfriends and girlfriends. Then we made the hop into high school, drinking and the first real dives into adulthood and independence. And having a group of friends complete with both sexes and a variety of sexual orientations just made the transitions that much more fun – or dramatic as the case may be.
In middle school, for all intents and purposes, we were kind of sexless. Sure, some of us girls wore skirts and makeup and most of the boys didn't, but we were all still definitely just girls and boys. As we've aged into women and men, the differences have become more pronounced. We think differently for one. For another, we've been molded differently by how the world treats us. It was a slightly repulsive realization and now an ongoing joke amongst my friends that the women have become the mothering caretakers while the men in the group think that a round of Febreeze is equivalent to doing a load of laundry. Of course that's blanketing the issue but you get my point.
I even remember when two of my closest girlfriends and I first encountered our dreaded biological clocks. See near the end of high school, we three were starting to look at relationships differently. Without meaning to, we had transitioned into the realm of 'will this person be a good life companion?' Our significant-other-criteria was beginning to evolve. Near the end of college we were, as one of them put it, 'beginning to feel our ovaries.' Regardless of whether or not we actually wanted children of our own, children have phased from the annoying to the adorable. I've always liked kids so it wasn't quite as dramatic as all that for me. But for the friend who made the ovary comment, it was one of those slow motion "Nooooooooooooo!" movie scenes with the monster barreling down and you caught like a dear in the headlights until you're squished flat. Yes, we all teased her pretty mercilessly about that one.
And now here I am, a bridesmaid for one of their weddings. Well, two I guess, since two of my friends are marrying each other. It's a bit surreal for me, tell you the truth. I've never been one for the color pink or hearts or gazing wistfully into bridal shop windows. Yet even I have to admit that there is something almost primitively feminine about watching a friend or family member pick out their wedding dress. I think it is hard-wired – either by evolution or culture or a bit of both – for unmarried women to to take notes when someone they know does the deed.
This is a scary age for my friends and I to be. We're supposed to be adults yet a lot of us still live at home or in some way rely on our parents. And we're stagnating in the choice between chasing our dreams with all we've got and the practical pressures of independence and growing up. But at least we're in this stage of our lives together. It's stressful, scary and uncharted, but that's what adventure is all about.

'Teddy Blue' Abbott had high times in Miles City
The young men who came west in the 1870s and 1880s were, by the late 1930s, elderly and passing away at an alarming rate. This is why the survivors of the "free range" era got together in Miles City in 1939 to hold a "Range Riders Reunion" that evolved into the Range Riders Museum, now celebrating its 75th year.
Among those was one particularly "colorful" character whose memoirs provide an insider's look at the end of the cowboy era. That character was Edward Charles Abbott, better known as "Teddy Blue."
Teddy Blue was born in England on December 17, 1860 and came to the United States with his father in 1871. His father bought some cattle in Texas and drove them to Nebraska to sell. That is where the Abbott family lived for a time, but adventure called, and young Teddy headed out for Montana in 1883 with a herd of longhorns.
As many trail herds did, those cattle ended up in Miles City. It was here that Teddy acquired his nickname. Miles City was a town known for its good times, and young Teddy enjoyed all that Miles City featured. In his autobiography, written in conjunction with Helena Huntington Smith and published shortly before his death in 1938, he tells the tale of his adventures.
As the story goes, he attended a vaudeville show in Miles City, having consumed a few drinks. He ended up riding a chair on stage, saying "Whoa, Blue" as he did so - "blue" being a common nickname for a certain color horse. When he ran into some friends who had seen the performance, they addressed him as "Teddy Blue," and the name stuck.
While Teddy enjoyed good times in Miles City, he was hired by Stuart Granville for Granville's DHS ranch further west. He met one of Granville's daughters, Mary, and married her on September 29, 1889. They settled on their own ranch, the Three Deuce Ranch at Giltedge, in what is now Fergus County, Montana. There they raised 10 children.
Once he was more respectable, Teddy joined the Montana Stockgrowers Association, served six years on the Montana Stock Commission for Fergus County, spent 30 years as a member of the Democratic Central Committee and 16 years as a school trustee. One assumes he did not tell his stories of "temporary" marriages with ladies of ill repute in Miles City during those later years.
In 1938, Helena Huntington Smith was tracking down a number of pioneers, including Nannie Alderson of Miles City, and collaborating with them on "first person" stories about the now historic Wild West.
She also got together with Teddy Blue and told his story "in his own words." While there are a few minor historical inaccuracies in the story, the tone of the tale is one of the most authentic available.
Published just a few days before Teddy Blue died, "We Pointed Them North" is still in print and is now even available as an e-book. Not surprisingly, Miles City plays a prominent part in Teddy Blue's book.
Teddy Blue didn't live long enough to see the Range Riders Museum open, but he would have appreciated how the museum has saved the story of the open range for future generations.
