Florida Baseball Beats Kentucky, Takes Control of SEC Title Race
Published May 19th, 2011
Loading Video...
Mike Zunino hit his 14th and 15th home runs of the season, and the Florida Gators beat Kentucky 9-6 Thursday night to move within a game of at least a share of the SEC regular season title. The Gators jumped out to a 3-0 lead after the 2nd inning, but Kentucky responded with a 3-run Chad Wright triple and took the lead 4-3 in the 3rd. Then Zunino took over. A solo home run in the bottom of the third, and 3-run shot in the 6th gave the Gators the final advantage. With Co-SEC leaders Vanderbilt and South Carolina both losing Thursday, if Florida wins Friday, the Gators are guaranteed at least a share of the SEC championship. If Florida sweeps Kentucky, they win the SEC championship outright.

A treechange with a Highland flavour
Lynne left her corporate job and city life to settle in Mudgee in the company of a herd of Scottish Highland cattle.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
It wasn't a carefully planned career strategy that brought Lynn Campbell to Mudgee, more a spur of the moment decision with a happy ending.
"It was probably a few too many drinks on a Sunday afternoon," she confesses. "We were up in Brisbane, both in corporate roles.
"We stuck a pin in a map, and Mudgee was closest. We drove down and bought a place and that was it. We've never looked back."
A big part of Lynn's new life is Scottish Highland cattle, the quintessential 'hairy cow' with its fringe hanging in its eyes and something of the teddy bear about its shaggy looks.
"They're very unique, one of the oldest registered breeds," Lynne says. "They're gorgeous".
And Lynne says they can see perfectly well through their flowing locks.
"The fringe gives them a bit of eye protection. They can see fine - you take a bale of hay out into the paddock, they'll see it. They'll come running.
"They're quite good natured, and will seek you out to get a bit of attention. They love getting brushed, and we try to spend a bit of time doing that with them. We love having them, they're great creatures."
There can be a steep learning curve to any fledgling business venture, but Lynn says there was plenty help at hand to help her get acquainted with her new livestock.
"There's a great network of support in New South Wales, with the breeders' group and the Australian Highland Cattle Society to give you support.
"There are people online who can help, and there are peope who will come out to your property and help you and talk to you. Everyone's in the same boat, they want to help others and promote the breed.
"We're still learning, and will always be learning something new. But it's great to have that backup there."
Lynn has also discovered a greater sense of community in her new home than she ever felt in her former city life.
"I've met more people in Mudgee in the last few years than I'd got to know in Brisbane. Everyone's friendly and goes out of their way to help you."

26 or 28 inch shotgun barrel?
I personally perfer shorter barrels on pumps and autos. My Browning BPS came originally with a 30" barrel and was the one of the first the invector choked guns to arrive in TN. I later acquired a 22" special field barrel for it and used it for everything from doves to ducks. It was deadly in the field.
My Beretta 390 12ga had a 26" barrel and I could hit great with that length. The 20ga 390 had a 28" barrel and was the equal of the 12 gauge, for me, in the ability to hit targets. Both 390's were used for everything from doves to ducks and even geese. No problems with barrel length.
As I indicated, personally, the shorter the better. For an all around gun, I would choose the 26", but you have to select what feels best for you.
Either will do fine, but I would get a 26 if you plan on hunting.
I am a rather brilliant surgeon, perhaps I can help you with that hump
If you are using it for Clay's, get the longest barrels you can possibly stand. Sporting Clays guns usually have longer barrels with 32 inches the norm. Mine has 34's. This is with O/U's. Same with Trap. A 28 or 30 inch Auto barrel will be comparable.You won't notice the extra length hunting but you will on the clay range. Plus you may hit better with a longer barrel hunting. Length has nothing to do with choke, but with sight radius and swing. You will see no Pro's using a 22 or 24 inch gun for clays and there is a reason. Think a 28 as a minimum.
Short barrels are nice for climbing through brush and stuff when hunting, otherwise I'd go long. I have a 28" on my Benelli M2. I wouldn't mind an 18.5" for house storage though...
I would get a shorter barrel if you plan on doing any hunting. I have an Auto 5 with a 24 inch barrel and it is probably the best gun I own. It is a bit squirrely on trap though.
Unless you are crawling through the bushes you won't notice longer barrels. I use a SxS with 20 inch barrels for bunnies in the brush. But a minimum of 30 for everything else. I have loaners that are longer barrels and the first thing the borrower will comment on is the " too long for hunting barrels." At the end of the day I'll ask about the barrel and the response every time was " never noticed them after we started hunting" or " they swung nicer that shorter guns." My dove gun has 34's.
You don't hump fields for dove, shooting dove is basically the same as shooting trap. I have a feeling you might regret that 34" barrel on quail as you won't be on them as fast as a shorter barrel. Plus that extra 10" of barrel really add up at the end of the day when your walking fields.
I personally prefer a 28 inch barrel for my hunting and clays work. I have had 26" barrels and 30 inch barrels, and 28 seems to be the best all-around length for my purposes. There is very little pattern difference from a 26-30 inch barrel, so choose what feels best for you.
How about that – another topic on which I can pontificate knowledgably!
The short answer is – use whatever works best for you - there is no right or wrong. But things aren't nearly that simple. As with the SxS discussion below, whole libraries have been written on this subject, so this will be a quick and dirty summary.
It is axiomatic that, if you want to be a really good wingshooter, any shotgun must fit the shooter. One size does not fit all. It is also axiomatic that the gauge/choke/ammo combo must be well tested and appropriate to the quarry/terrain/time of year. Having said those things, I'm not going to mention them again; and will talk only about bbl length and "handling".
"Handling" used to be this rather esoteric, subjective issue – "that gun handles like a wand"; or "that gun feel like a railroad tie when you put it on your shoulder"; or "that gun really swings smoothly". You get the idea.
People who are serious students of wingshooting can now go beyond that in defining handling. "Handling" is now understood to have two components – first, weight; and second, moment of inertia ("MOI") – and bbl length obviously plays into both of those factors.
Weight is the least critical of the two factors, but still important, because it is hard to carry and shoot a gun that is too heavy; and it is hard to shoot a gun that is too light very well, plus it will knock the snot out of you over the thousands of rounds you must shoot to become really proficient with any gun. For most people, anything much less than six pounds is too light to shoot well consistently and anything over eight pounds to too heavy to carry for all the countless miles any serious bird hunter covers on foot, and is getting too heavy to swing quickly. FWIW, I like my 20 gauge game guns to weigh exactly six pounds and my 12 gauge game guns to weigh 6½ pounds.
MOI is the most important number. It can be measured objectively. A high MOI means that it takes a good bit of energy to start the gun twirling around its axis – generally because there is considerable weight out toward the ends of the gun – butt and bbl. A low MOI means that it does not take a lot of energy to start the gun twirling around its axis – generally because most of the weight of the gun is concentrated in the middle of the gun – the receiver, not the butt and bbl. With me?
Different people prefer different MOI's but generally full-race target guns will have a higher MOI than a game gun, because target shooting is a much more deliberate process. Game guns will usually have a lower MOI that a target guns because you need to be able to change direction of the swing pretty quickly as a bird's flight path is somewhat unpredictable. Obviously, extremes on either end of the MOI scale are not good. It is equally obvious that bbl length has a major effect on MOI.
Everything else being equal (which is never is the case!) a longer bbl will give you a slower MOI (thus the generally correct comments in the above posts about longer bbls for targets); and a shorter bbl will give you a lower MOI. How much depends on the weight distribution of a particular gun. If the MOI is too low, you will have a herky-jerky swing. If the MOI is too high, you will have a gun that you must really push hard to follow a bird.
Thus, for MOI purposes, select a bbl length that gives you the "handling" you most prefer.
One often hears that a long bbl gives a more precise sighting plane. That is true to a limited degree, but I think you need to be a very skilled and experienced shooter taking long crossing shots (not often taken on game birds but fairly common in tough sporting clays venues) to notice any difference. I shoot all the time and have a hard time noticing the difference between 28", 30" and 32" in terms of sighting plane. Thus, for most people this is a non-issue. It is certainly a non-issue in a game gun.
To me, the short bbl for use in heavy cover is a red herring. I've never had any trouble maneuvering a gun through the nasties due to bbl length. Similarly, bbl length (within practical limits) has zero effect on patterning or velocity.
With autos and pumps, subtract about 2" to get to the equivalent bbl length for a break-open gun, like a SxS or O/U. In other words, an auto with a 26" bbl is the functional equivalent of an O/U with 28" bbls; and an auto with a 28" bbl is the functional equivalent of an O/U with 30" bbls;
FWIW, I don't like 26" bbls on double guns - too whippy (very low MOI). 30" is my favorite bbl length for a double. In a top quality double with finely struck, light weight bbls, you get a significant steadying effect on your swing, but yet can change directions quickly enough if need be. A set of 30" bbls on an O/U game gun looks like this:
Bottom line – I'd recommend 28" bbls on an auto that will be used for both targets and game.

Like that Superposed Browning ya got. Round knob, long tang pigeon or pointer grade? Can't tell from the photo. I too am a O/U double gun lover, and Brownings are a favorite of mine.
I think a 28" barrel is a good overall game and skeet gun. If you are just into upland birds (quail, pheasant, woodcock, chuckers, grouse, etc.) go for a 26" or even a Churchill 25" barrel. Waterfowl require long barreled guns, 30" to 32", same for trap shooting. A 28" is a good overall compromise, not too heavy to walk with all day, not too close range for waterfowl.
Enjoy your shotguns. They are one of life's greatest pleasures.
That particular gun I had set up as a true game gun with solid rib, splinter fore end, minimalist Prince of Wales grip, roundbody action, 6 pound weight, fairly quick MOI, etc. BTW, you can specify a long tang on the trigger guard if you want, but in a field gun, I'd rather not have the extra metal and the extra weight. The wood is good Turkish walnut with the classic Turkish type of figuring and Sabatti did the engraving, which is just a nice basic scroll – suitable for a gun that is used hard in the field. It is my most used upland game gun – has been hunted all over the world and has killed thousands of birds.
To show how different the very same gun from the same maker can be here is another Famars Excalibur drop lock, but I had this one set up as a full-race target gun with low vent rib, target fore end with finger grooves, tightly cranked pistol grip with palm swell for full control, sculpted action with bosses for strength, 8 pound weight, fairly slow MOI, etc. Again, the wood is Turkish but with an entirely different and rather unusual type of "flame" figuring for Turkish and but I had a much more elaborate scroll done by Thomasini – suitable for a gun that is never dragged through the bushes.
In truth, I find SxS's to be the nicest and most traditional field guns, not O/U's; and Famars makes some truly great sidelock SxS's, like this one:
However, I shoot an O/U just a tiny bit better than I shoot a SxS, so the O/U game guns seem to get out a little more often than the SxS's.
Regardless, they all have 30 inch bbls.

A few months ago, when Apple was pumping out Siri ads for the iPhone 4S, it might have skewed facts in its favor also. The rosy world of fast responses from Siri depicted in Apple commercials, becomes a grim snail-like experience when tested in the real world.
One notable difference from those Nokia promos? Apple clearly states that "sequences were shortened" right at the end of the video. Still, comparing the real-life performance of say Siri with what's advertized could be an eye-opener. And might just give you one more reason to forgive Nokia's mishap, hopefully.

Guardian in Badari: Smt. Padmaja, Sri Venkateswara Rao and their family, are the devotees of Swami. Once they went on a pilgrimage to Badari, which is in the Himalayas. The road to Badari is a very difficult and treacherous mountainous road. Landslides and road accidents are very common in that region. However Swami assured them that He would accompany them in invisible form. When they returned from the pilgrimage, Swami asked their younger daughter, "Did you not see me at one place on your journey?" The daughter agreed and told everyone that on their way to Badari when the bus was going through a particularly dangerous stretch, she saw Swami walking by the side of the bus. The bus right behind their bus skidded and plummeted into the deep valley. The family believed that Swami alone protected them from danger on that fateful day. He fulfilled His promise and protected their bus from mishap on that mountainous road.
Giving and protecting jobs
Ramana get a job. The parents of Sri Ramana prayed to Swami that their son may get a good job. Swami said, "I will give him the job as per your wishes, but you should join My service thereafter". The parents agreed. Ramana got a very good job within a month and the parents joined the service of Swami.
Prevents devotee from losing his job. Once Sri Ajay came to Swami and told Him that Ajay's elder brother's employer was going to remove his (Ajay's) elder brother from his job. Swami closed His eyes and said, "But My elder brother, Hanuman says that your elder brother is in the wrong and not his employer. Go and verify the truth". Ajay asked his elder brother to tell him what actually happened and whether his employer was justified in firing him. His brother finally revealed that he had started the issue by asking for a raise and had threatened to resign if he did not get it. The employer was annoyed and told him that he would rather fire him in that case. This was quite unexpected for Ajay's brother who certainly did not want to lose his job. Thwarted, he went home and did not report to work the next day. His guilt prevented him from facing his employer and settling the issue.
Later, Swami told Ajay "My brother, Hanuman, went to the employer and has pacified him. Let your brother approach his employer without fear". Heartened by Swami's divine assurance, Ajay's brother approached his employer. The employer calmly told him "Please join your job" without referring to the past.

Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo completes second powered flight
Billionaire Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic SpaceShip Two made a second successful powered test flight on Thursday. The Spaceship Two will most likely become the world's first truly commercial spaceship.
Following its first powered flight in April, the spaceship went supersonic again. It also tested the wing-tilting re-entry system for the first time, according to its Twitter updates.
The company said the flight test "hit our planned duration, altitude and speed." The hybrid rocket engine was fired for 20 seconds, sending SpaceShipTwo to a maximum velocity 1.43 times the speed of sound and a maximum altitude of 69,000 feet, Virgin Galactic reported. That compares with 16 seconds, a top speed of Mach 1.2 and a maximum altitude of 56,200 feet for April's flight.
Virgin Galactic modeled the test flight after its plans for future passenger trips to space. If all goes according to plan, Spaceship Two could start commercial passenger flights into outer space in 2014.
"We couldn't be more delighted to have another major supersonic milestone under our belts as we move toward a 2014 start of commercial service," Branson, Virgin Galactic's founder, said in a statement issued after the landing. "It was particularly thrilling to see for the first time today the whole elegant system in action during a single flight, including the remarkable feathering re-entry system. It was this safety feature more than anything else that originally persuaded us that the overall design of the system was uniquely fit for purpose. Everything we have seen today just confirms that view."
Branson plans to be on the first flight with his family. More than 600 customers have already signed up, paying deposits on the $250,000 fares.

Beef and Vegetable Soup RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 2 1
On the cooler nights of spring, it's heartwarming to enjoy a bowl of hot, homemade soup like this one from our Test Kitchen. It's easy to make, using convenience foods like canned tomatoes and frozen green beans. It's versatile, too. You can opt for chicken and chicken broth instead of beef and substitute your favorite veggies.
Recommended: 51 Cozy Slow Cooker Soups
- 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
- 1/3 cup chopped green pepper
- 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) reduced-sodium beef broth
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 cup cubed peeled potatoes
- 3/4 cup fresh or frozen cut green beans
- 1/2 cup chopped carrot
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- In a Dutch oven, cook the beef, onion and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
- Serve immediately or transfer to freezer containers. May be frozen for up to 3 months.
- To use frozen soup: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Transfer to a saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat until heated through. Yield: 6 servings.

It turns out some people don't like that, especially when Apple seems impossible to stop on so many fronts right now.
The antitrust divisions of the U.S. Justice Dept. and Federal Trade Commission are both interested in having a closer look at the terms Apple announced for subscription content for Apple devices.
Earlier this month Apple announced the iOS App Store subscription service will take a 30 percent cut of any subscription sold through Apple and that no publisher whose content sells through Apple can charge less for it elsewhere.
That's a strong push, if not an outright requirement, that publishers sell content for iPhones or iPads through Apple's iTunes store, which competitor Rhapsody called "economically untenable."
Apple also forbids publishers from linking to sites outside the App Store, effectively coralling all the content into not only its own formats – which it claims to do to keep the quality and compatibility high – but in its own sales channel – which profits Apple and hurts its customers.
The Justice Dept. recently sued a Michigan insurance company for similar requirements, according to the Wall Street Journal.
To qualify for prosecution under antitrust laws, the Justice Dept. would have to show Apple has market power and is abusing it. Apple's share of the broader cell phone market is too small to qualify, and its 16 percent of the smartphone market makes it questionable.
Its three-quarters-share of the global tablet market should qualify easily, but it's hard to imagine dominance in that one category would flick the antitrust switch. Tablet sales will be as big as PCs in three to five years according to analysts, but isn't close to that size yet, and there's a lot of competition in the wings waiting to whittle that lead down a little.
It's hard to imagine Apple will build or keep a large enough market position to qualify for a long, expensive antitrust prosecution, though it's apparently bracing for one.
It's very easy to imagine Apple's arrogance – in its licensing, restrictions on content and apps on all its mobile devices, not to mention its pocket-picking subscription requirements – will turn off customers and business partners to the extent they'll be on the lookout for any other alternative.
There are getting to be a lot of other alternatives. And a whole new class of Mac haters whose disdain has nothing to do with old rivalries in the IT industry and everything to do with the way Apple's products (and its policies) work for them and pay them back for the expense and trouble of using them.

I'm not sure if it was my deliriously tired state (yep, Sutton is still getting up 2-4 times per night) or just a lapse in judgement, but this weekend I embarrassingly found out that Huggies Pull-Ups® and swim diapers are NOT the same thing.
Since the weather was beautiful on Saturday, we decided to hang out by the pool with the kids and some friends. As we were getting ready, I realized we were out of swim diapers for our 2 ½ year old. Many times when I think we are out of diapers, I can usually find at least one stashed around the house. So, I went searching. Swim bag? No. Suitcases used for last vacation? Nope. Hidden under his crib? Not this time. Hidden under Sissy's bed? Everything else is under there but swim diapers. In the car? Nada. I looked everywhere and I was not going to the store. We had no time. In my search of the house, I did find one lone Pull-Ups® diaper that was leftover from potty training Savannah. And yes, it was a Princess Pull-Up®. The Princess part didn't bother me because it was going under a swimsuit anyway. I looked at the Pull-Up®. It looked like a swim diaper. Sure, it said "Pull-Ups®" on it – but it still looked exactly like a swim diaper. The same thickness…the same thin pieces on the sides…it had to work the same way as a swim diaper, right? Plus, we all know that swim diapers are only meant for the poo anyway and don't hold in the pee. In the back of my mind, I must have known that it wasn't the same because I dug out a pair of rubber pants to use with the Pull-Up® just in case. Remember how tired I am, right? I run downstairs and present my findings and my idea to my husband. A Pull-Up® and rubber pants. I could have added some duct tape and he still would have jumped on board. He didn't even care about the Princess part because desperate times call for desperate measures. We put the Pull-Up®, rubber pants and his swimsuit on Sawyer and ran out the door. I would like to say we were hoping for the best – but we didn't even give it a second thought.
We arrived at the pool and things were going fine. For about 20 minutes. Then I started to notice his swimsuit was really started to puff up. I joked that he was started to look like J Lo and Kim Kardasian since his butt was slowly getting bigger and bigger. Hmm… normal swim diaper don't puff up and expand like that, I thought. Oh well…back in the pool! Then about 30 minutes later, it happened. His diaper literally exploded! Who knew a life span of a Pull-Up® in a swimming pool was about 50 minutes? Sawyer had just gone down the baby slide (yes, thankfully we were in the baby pool) and my husband lifted him out of the pool. Right there in front of the teenage lifeguard, a big pile of crystallized diaper filling fell out of his swimsuit onto the ground. Opps. Okay, maybe the diapers are not made the same. If you don't know what "crystallized diaper filling" that I am talking about – it is what happens to many diapers when the inside gets wet. You don't normally see this stuff because it remains inside the diaper lining when your child pees. It's really pretty gross. It looks like a shaved ice but it's definitely not cold. We have encountered it a few times when my son has woken up in the morning and his diaper is so full that it has busted a seam. The diaper company assures me that it is not toxic! It doesn't look good though.
So, there we are with a pile of the crystallized goo on the concrete in front of the lifeguard. My first thought was – how the heck did it get out of the tight rubber pants? My second thought was – how do I nonchalantly take Sawyer to the bathroom like this without looking like a terrible mother. I calmly take him and help him waddle to the bathroom with a small trail of crystallized goo behind us.
When we get to the bathroom, I tried to remove his swimsuit. Remember all that expanding that his swimsuit was doing at the pool? Well, that was all crystallized goo! I have never seen so much of this stuff in my life! The diaper was so thin when we started! It must have been filled with a rice-like substance that expanded beyond belief. As I started taking off his swimsuit and rubber pants in the shower area, there were literally piles of this goo falling on the floor. Luckily, the bathroom was empty. That is until one of the pool staff (a young teenage girl) came walking in as I'm trying to scoop up the goo with paper towels off the floor with my 2 ½ year old standing there naked. One of my proudest moments at the pool! I politely smiled and continued about my business. What else could I do? I rinsed off all the goo from Sawyer in the shower. Now, he is standing in the shower sobbing and terrified because he is going through a "scared of the shower stage" and just kept repeating "no shower…no shower…no shower". I finished cleaning everything up and put the rinsed rubber pants and swimsuit back on Sawyer and we headed back to the pool. Needless to say, this was the end of our pool outing for the day. Sawyer probably could have played in the pool with just the rubber pants and swimsuit but after that incident I thought we should be done for the day. And this is how I learned that Pull-Ups® and swim diapers are NOT the same!

O.K., John, here's the whole process of re-padding an old car seat.
The first 4 pictures are of an original seat back spring unit that is 82 years old. Take all the old padding off the spring unit, and measure to see how thick the original padding was. Replace the old thickness with slightly more than that. In this case, the old padding was 1 1/2" thick, so I used 1/2" Flex Deck over the springs, 1" foam over that, and a layer of dacron wrap which will compress to 3/4 of its original thickness.
The Flex Deck goes on the spring unit with hog rings. I leave it 1 1/2" larger than the spring unit, and then trim for the curved corners. Once the Flex Deck is on, turn the spring unit upside down over the 1" foam, and trace around leaving it just slightly larger than the flex deck. cut the 1" foam to size, and glue it to the Flex Deck. I use foam to foam glue for this process, not contact adhesive because the seat covers will hold everything in place.
Because these seat covers had padded channels much like how the original seat covers were done, and did not have sew foam on the inside, I put a layer of 3/4 ounce (approximately 1" thick) dacron wrap over the new foam. I chose 1" 2650 FR (fire retardant) foam to pad the seat springs for the seat bottoms, and 1" 2635 FR foam for the seat backs. Foam is described with a 4 number system. The first two numbers are the quality of the foam. 35 would be a very high quality foam. The second two numbers are the density or ILD of the foam. The higher the last two numbers, the firmer the foam. 50 density is considered firm, and 35 is considered a medium density. I used 50 on the seat bottoms because they get more wear and tear, and 35 for the seat backs so they would be more comfortable.
After the foam is glued down, glue the dacron wrap to the top of the 1" foam, leaving it about 2 1/2" larger all the way around. Once again, trim the dacron for the round corners. Flip the whole unit over, spray the dacron and the edge of the foam with glue, and press the dacron into place up against the edge of the foam and onto the flex deck. That's it. The dacron is there mainly to let the seat cover slip, which it would not do if applied directly to the seat foam.

That's how I do mine. Thanks Ram Rod, you probably (yet again) put out info that will help a few newer gun owners (GLOCK owners) out.
This is a discussion on Know the condition of your Glock? within the Basic Gun Handling & Safety forums, part of the General Firearm Discussion category; Do you know the condition of your Glock just by looking at it? Without picking it up and handling it? You should be able to ...
Do you know the condition of your Glock just by looking at it? Without picking it up and handling it? You should be able to tell. If the trigger is forward, consider the chamber loaded! Remove the magazine, and rack the slide, and visually inspect the chamber. Once it's determined to be clear, pull that trigger to the rear (dry fire), just like you would to break it down for cleaning. Leave the trigger back. All of my Glocks are stored with the trigger back and full magazine inserted in the safe, or until deployment for the day when I manually put a round in the chamber for carry. Leaving the trigger in it's rearward position does two things....1. relaxes the trigger spring (even the Glock owner's manual states this should be done for storage), and 2. let's you know visually that the pistol has an empty chamber. There is no way to have a chambered (live) round and the Glock trigger in the rearward position at the same time unless you are shooting it. Now you should be able to tell if your Glock is loaded or not just by looking at it from across the room or the minute you pick it up. Leaving the trigger back on an empty chamber Glock should become a habit...a good habit. It's simple and might very well extend your Glock's trigger spring life.
That's how I do mine. Thanks Ram Rod, you probably (yet again) put out info that will help a few newer gun owners (GLOCK owners) out.
"Without fear there can be no Courage!"
Just to clarify.
So if you Glock is you CC weapon, you suggest you carry with one in the chamber (so the trigger would be forward). I agree, and this is how I carry.
Now, your home. You suggest, even for night time storage, that you store without a round in the chamber, the trigger back, clip in the firearm, ready to be racked.
Is this correct?
I just wanted to give the new sub-forum a boost, and also not to hear of any more ND's with Glocks for any reason.
I had not considered this option, but I appreciate the advise, and just put Glock in condition you suggested.
I tend to carry the revolver j-frame around the house (my thought process is it is the firearm I'll use to get to my Glock or shotgun).
My wife has been uncomfortable storing with one in the barrel (as it does break a firearm safety rule). Storing the ammo with the weapon also breaks a rule, but the weapon is intended for home SD, and needs to be in a secure but ready condition.
Add the other two points you bring up (valid points).
Sincere thanks Ram Rod.
I also store my glock the same way, great post RamRod,
Give me my guns and my right to keep and bear arms, and they can keep their change.
Good info and advise. Thanks.

Thanks RR. Learned something very valuable today.
Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.
You may want to learn about bullet setback! This presents a much more real danger then a loaded chamber. IMO you are 'playing' with your pistol too much. Leave it loaded ready to go. Always exercise the 4 rules:
(1) All guns are always loaded!
(2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy!
(3) Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target!
(4) Always be sure of your target and beyond!
The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing..... Albert Einstein
In and out of the safe....in and out of the holster.....against your body, or on the couch? In my opinion, leaving a loaded chamber Glock induces complacency over time and then we hear about the ND's. I appreciate the challenge, and we appreciate your support.Leave it loaded ready to go.
BTW...I already know about bullet set back.
Shame on me, but I have started to carry a practice round as my in the barrel round (followed by the hollow points). I carry a Glock .357 Sig, so I feel even the practice FMJ round is a capable SD round. I always make sure to use the round I have been chambering next time I hit the range (thus no set back concerns).
There is a slightly greater concern for set back with a bottle necked round IMO. I just can't afford to keep buying the 125 GR. SXT Winchester Ranger rounds. I have considered purchashing a lower cost hollow point and using that as my one in the barrel round.

Washington • The Obama administration on Tuesday announced $14 billion in commitments from U.S. businesses to invest in Africa, as representatives from nearly 100 American and African companies gathered in Washington to discuss ways to boost economic partnerships.
During a panel discussion with CEOs, former President Bill Clinton declared that the U.S. has "only barely scratched the surface" of Africa's economic potential.
Indeed, Africa's economy is enjoying rapid advancement. The continent is home to six of the world's fastest-growing economies. And a decade of solid growth has created a middle class with increased spending power — 350 million strong in 2010 by the African Development Bank's count, up from 220 million in 2000.

San Diego State Shuts Out UNLV, 7-0, for Sixth MW Title
May 10, 2013
The San Diego State softball team clinched the outright Mountain West title with a 7-0 victory over UNLV Friday night at SDSU Softball Stadium. The Aztecs improved to 34-18 overall and 12-5 in league play with the win, while the Rebels dropped to 21-30 and 7-10.
SDSU, which earns the league's automatic bid into the NCAA tournament, has now won the MW six times (2002-03, 2006, 2008, 2012-13).
Junior Lorena Bauer (San Diego/Steele Canyon HS) went 2-for-3 with four RBIs, and freshman left-hander Danielle O'Toole (Upland, Calif.) and senior right-hander Rebecca Arbino (Clovis, Calif.) combined in the circle on a five-hit shutout.
Bauer had an RBI single in the bottom of the first inning and a three-run homer to cap a five-run sixth inning for San Diego State. Bauer, who also scored two runs and drew a walk, now has 49 RBIs on the season, which ties 2012 All-American Hayley Miles' record set last year.
Senior Tiffany Corder (San Clemente, Calif.) was 3-for-4 with two runs and junior Patrice Jackson (Kansas City, Mo.) had an RBI single, a run and two walks. Senior Kristin May (Corona, Calif.) also added an RBI for the Aztecs.
O'Toole (14-6) tossed six scoreless innings, allowing four singles, including two bunt hits, and a walk. She struck out four. Arbino gave up one hit in the seventh inning.
The conference championship was the SDSU athletic department's 10th of the 2012-13 year (also women's soccer (regular season and tournament), football, volleyball, swimming & diving, women's basketball (regular season), indoor track & field, men's tennis (regular season) and women's tennis (regular season)). Softball will also be the ninth San Diego State team to advance to an NCAA tournament.
The Aztecs and UNLV wrap-up the three-game series at 1 p.m. PT Saturday, followed by a special ceremony honoring their four seniors - Arbino, Corder, Kamerin May (Corona, Calif.) and Kristin May.

Definition of milquetoast
: a timid, meek, or unassertive person
milquetoast was our Word of the Day on 05/26/2016. Hear the podcast!
Theme music by Joshua Stamper ©2006 New Jerusalem Music/ASCAP
Did You Know?
Caspar Milquetoast was a comic strip character created in 1924 by the American cartoonist Harold T. Webster. The strip, called "The Timid Soul," ran every Sunday in the New York Herald Tribune for many years. Webster, who claimed that Milquetoast was a self-portrait, summed up the character as "the man who speaks softly and gets hit with a big stick." The earliest examples for Milquetoast used as a generic synonym for "timid person" date from the mid-1930s. Caspar's last name might remind you of "milk toast," a bland concoction of buttered toast served in a dish of warm milk.

Gear Shots: Five Ten Maltese Falcon
I knew in my mind that Five Ten's comfort clipless shoe was not named for a relative of Han Solo's space ship, but I had to check with the google. It wasn't but I'm glad I checked. I learned about a totally badass 289 foot long megayacht called the Maltese Falcon that exudes overdone luxury in every possible way. Not so with the shoe, though. The Maltese Falcon, the shoe edition, is purely functional – and that's exactly what you're looking for in a shoe of this category. That category is an all day comfort shoe that still performs well when you're clipped in to the pedals.
On the aesthetic side, I feel like the Maltese Falcon looks like a climbing shoe with a half inch of accessories on all corners. Given its evolutionary history, that isn't really far off. This isn't necessarily a bad thing – the shoe doesn't look terrible but it definitely looks more at home tromping around in the woods than it does getting beers after the ride.
And tromp around in the woods they do. These are the best off-bike clipless shoes I've ever worn. I spend a lot of time on both sides of the camera lens, hiking bikes uphill and standing in awkward off camber locations – and do so in a wide variety of footwear but mostly on clippy shoes. While I have adjusted to wearing XC slippers to hike around, it can at times be treacherous. Better yet, the Maltese Falcons blow all other "all mountain" SPD shoes out of the water in the hike department.
On the pedals the Maltese Falcons do what you would expect. The soles have a bit of give, but are stiff enough to prevent your feet from wrapping around the pedals. The outsole is not too thick, such that you won't notice the Stealth rubber preventing you from getting in and out of the pedals. With both laces and a hook and loop strap, you can get the shoes as tight as you like, but I found them to work just fine in a relatively relaxed setting.
Fit-wise the Maltese Falcon is roomy in the volume department which makes for a comfortable all day shoe both on and off the bike. The hook and loop strap sits higher up than the laces actually go, so once you undo it you can slip the shoe on and off without too much trouble. This is a big thing for me. I prefer performance shoes without full hook and loop or boa enclosure because I like to be able to do up my shoes consistently tight. (This may be related to the fact that I never learned how to properly tie shoes in preschool, but I've been able to work around that all my life.) Another good thing about the proximity of the laces and strap is they don't interact when you've got everything cinched up. I wear a 43 in most every shoe and the Maltese Falcon is no different. Slightly more volume than an XC race shoe – consider it room for thicker winter socks.
Speaking of winter, it seems to be around the corner. I started wearing the Maltese Falcons in the dustiest part of summer and with a zero-rain July here in Vancouver I was concerned I might not get some wet weather testing in before writing these shoes up. Well, up in Whistler during Crankworx we were treated to some rain – which may not have been a big deal. I did get the shoes wet while riding and have no complaints. But, right after the rain started, I stepped full on in a creek. Both shoes. Soaked. The shoes did not dry out until I brought them inside and stuffed them with newspaper overnight. These will dry faster than my old Five Ten Impacts no doubt, but they will still require a push in the right direction. Maybe it's time to invest in a shoe drying device.
I was a bit put off by the aesthetics of these shoes to begin with, but functionally they've surpassed my expectations in just about every department. They may not have fifteen sails or a Wookie at the helm, but that's not what you're looking for anyway. If you spend a lot of time off the bike but still want the performance advantage of a clipless shoe, have a look at the Maltese Falcon. They go for $145.
This Maltese Falcon is a lot more affordable than a massive yacht…
hieroglyphx - Sept. 10, 2013, 4:18 p.m.
I've had these since Spring 2012 on XT trail pedals, I'll buy another pair when the current ones fall apart no question.

A recent study by the Association of Executive Search Consultants found that close to 50% of fathers with executive-level jobs are more likely to ask for less travel during their job negotiations than they were five years ago. And a survey by CareerBuilder.com found that one of every four fathers is dissatisfied with his job because it demands more than normal working hours, keeping him from spending time with his family. "Work-and-family issues were exclusively women's issues," commented Armin Brott, leader of a workshop outfit called Fathers at Work. "Now, guys are feeling more comfortable. They want to be home and with their kids." Brott added: "Fathers used to be considered good fathers if they worked hard. Things have definitely changed."

Faith Without Works Is Dead
The Book of Hebrews informs us that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. We are told that by it the elders obtained a good report – that by faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God and that without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Contemporary Christianity would lead us to believe that it's all about faith – that all we have to do is believe in Jesus. While it is true that we are saved by grace, through faith; there is more to Christianity than just believing. The book of James tells us that "faith without works is dead;" and "that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only." He concludes with the statement that just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Today, many Christian leaders would tell us that a desire to keep the commandments of our Creator is an attempt to justify ourselves – a means of salvation by way of works. They know that is not what we believe at all; yet any time the laws of God are mentioned, they attack the messenger rather than having to try and explain how our Creator must have made a mistake when He wrote those laws in stone – rather than trying to explain why those who walked and talked with Christ kept those commandments before and after the time of the Crucifixion.
Yes, there is more to Biblical Christianity that just having faith. Scripture informs us that "the devils also believe, and tremble." No matter what antinomian Christian theologians may say, according to the New Testament sin is defined as the transgression of the law; and the wages of sin is still death. Jesus Christ, Yeshua of Nazareth, the Messiah of Israel did not die in order to make a way for us to practice sin.
Earnestly contending for the faith once delivered to the saints; I'm Richard Rives with Just The Facts.

John, well, ah, thanks, ah, for the rather blatent answer to my question, hee, hee. That's what I like about you. You have no bones about saying anything that is on your mind, that most of us just plain and simply don't have the guts (or the wherefor) to say out loud in public. Although we are all indeed human (well, I hope we are, maybe not JP, think he's an alien and hasn't given back my green snips yet, I think Franz has them now, but JP painted them pink, eeks!!! but that is OK), and we all have issues now then with that fire in the bottom of the elevator after eating something that is rather rough on the tummy, hee, hee. Beautiful day in this beautiful and great life. Cindi
JP, so tell me, what is your secret? Beautiful day in this beautiful life. Cindi
JP, time warped? Beautiful day in this beautiful life, Cindi

Why BATC
When can I start?
BATC is open year round. Most programs are open-entry, which means you can start the program at the first of every month as long as there is space available in the program. Because of demand, some programs have waiting lists to get in to the program. Please contact Student Services for information on those programs with waiting lists and defined starting dates.
What about books?
Most programs do not have you pay for all of the textbooks you will use or need up front. They have you buy them throughout your program. Textbooks vary from each program. Please see the information on the individual program page for the estimated book costs.
How much does a program cost? Can I make payments? Are all of the tuition and fees due upfront?
Most programs take about one year to complete. Each individual program page has tuition and fee amounts listed. Students can be setup on a payment plan and make payments each month (due on the 1st).
What are open-entry/self-paced, competency-based courses? Is there a teacher in class?
Open-entry/self-paced courses are individualized and available for registration every month, year round. Your experience at BATC may be different than any other educational experience you have had. The "hands-on, competency-based" approach to learning at BATC has been proven to increase knowledge, understanding, personal motivation, and career success. If you understand the purpose of the instructional methods used at BATC, your education experience will be more successful and enjoyable. You may notice instructional differences from the traditional classes you may have taken in the past. Instructors do not just lecture and students do not just take tests. With our "hands-on, competency-based" instruction, learning occurs by working through modules designed to help you master not only the program material but also the art of how to learn. With these modules you will be given verbal and/or written instructions and then you will work on textbook readings, assignments, video/audio clips, hand-on activities, demonstrations, etc. to help you gain a greater understanding of the subject. While you work through this learning process, your instructor is there to provide feedback and guide your thinking to help you find the answer. Think of your instructors as personal tutors when you can't seem to find the answer or don't understand a concept.
Is there financial aid?
BATC participates in a variety of assistance programs that aid students in covering the costs associated with enrollment in full-time preparatory programs.
Click to learn more
. The Financial Aid Office is located at the Main Campus, 1301 North 600 West, and can provide information for grants, scholarships, waivers, and VA education benefits. BATC does not participate in or endorse any loan program.
When are classes taught?
Most programs run Monday through Friday from 8 am to 2:30 pm. Some programs do offer their programs in the evening, which generally run Monday through Thursday from 5 pm to 9 pm. Please refer to the individual program web pages for specific times for the program you are interested in enrolling in.
Do you offer job placement? Do you guarantee me a job when I complete my program?
Our programs are based on the job forecasts and employment opportunities received from the Utah Department of Workforce Services and businesses in the Bear River Region. Our instructors work with and have great contacts with local employers and will assist you in finding opportunities to apply for jobs related to your program, but actually landing the job is up to you. This BATC Web site offers a job board where employers post openings as they become available. Be sure to check it out. In addition, visit the Career Planning page for more information.
To enroll in an apprenticeship program do I need to be employed before I can begin?
Electrician and Plumbing Apprentices are allowed to attend the first quarter of training without employment but must be registered and licensed through the State of Utah before continuing past the first quarter.

- Continuing to drive when the vehicle is overheating
- Not changing fuel and air filters
- Having unqualified shops service your vehicle
- Using generic aftermarket parts instead of original equipment manufacturer (OEM)-quality parts
- Trying to service your own high-tech vehicle
"When consumers fail to properly maintain their vehicles, the resulting repair costs dwarf the money that could have been budgeted to maintain their car," said Art Jacobsen, vice president, CarMD.com Corporation. "As a result, CarMD reached out to our ASE-certified Master Tech committee to confirm the top 10 most damaging mistakes drivers make. We believe this information will help consumers save money in the long run and plan better as they care for what is often their second largest purchase."
No. 3 in the top 10, "not changing your oil" was also listed by technicians as by far the single most damaging car maintenance item that their customers neglect that they wish they could change. Dirty oil ruins today's high-tech engines. Camshaft actuators can freeze when restricted by dirty oil, and a faulty camshaft actuator can in turn cause the "check engine" light to illuminate, resulting in complete engine failure if ignored for too long. Simply following the factory-recommended oil change schedule helps vehicle owners avoid this problem, along with potentially hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in extra repair costs.
