Smith & Nephew earns trust with patients, customers, healthcare professionals, authorities and the public by acting in an honest and fair manner in all aspects of its operations.
We expect the same from those with whom we do business, including distributors and independent agents that sell our products. Our Code of Conduct and Business Principles ('Code') governs the way we operate to achieve these objectives.
Smith & Nephew takes into account ethical, social, environmental, legal and financial considerations as part of its operating methods. We have a robust whistle-blowing system in all jurisdictions in which we operate. We are committed to upholding our promise in our Code that we will not retaliate against anyone who makes a report in good faith.
New employees receive training on our Code, and we assign annual compliance training to employees. We also require our distributor and agents or higher-risk vendors and suppliers to complete training on our Code. Finally, we assign role-based training to targeted groups including people managers, distributor or agent relationship managers, members of our Finance team and selected Sales groups.
Smith & Nephew has implemented a worldclass Global Compliance Programme that helps our businesses comply with laws and regulations. Our comprehensive compliance programme includes global policies and procedures; on-boarding and annual training for employees and managers; monitoring and auditing processes; reporting channels and recognition for demonstrating our values.
Through our global intranet, we provide resources and tools to guide employees to make decisions that comply both with the law and our Code. We conduct advance review and approval for significant interactions with healthcare professionals or government officials. We regularly assess existing and emerging risks in the countries in which we operate.
Managing directors are required to complete an annual certification to the CEO to confirm the implementation of required policies. Managers and employees make an annual compliance certification and conflict of interest disclosure, and executive management, managers and employees have a compliance performance objective customised to their role and seniority.
In order to reinforce our value of trust, in 2015, we implemented a programme where employees nominate their peers for actions that earn trust. Approximately 30 'Spotlight on Trust Certificates' were awarded to employees from more than 10 countries. Two employees received additional recognition from the CEO.
Secondly, during our annual manager certification this year, managers were required to have an 'ethics/compliance conversation' with some of their direct reports. They were given centrally-created materials focusing on the importance of earning trust and then provided with specific, topic-based scenarios to discuss with their staff actions that would demonstrate this core Smith & Nephew value. This model enhanced dialogue on ethics, compliance and the importance of earning trust with our actions between managers and staff.
Finally, we launched a new face-to-face training programme for managers in the Sales & Marketing functions. The key objectives of this workshop are to teach managers how to build a culture of trust within their department and how to identify and respond appropriately to compliance questions and ethical dilemmas.
New distributors and other higher risk third parties are subject to screening and are contractually obligated to comply with applicable laws and our Code of Conduct. Compliance training and certifications are included in this process. In 2015, we created a Code of Conduct module that was designed specifically to address the needs of our distributors and agents. We also introduced Additional Compliance Standards to provide greater details on Code requirements. We continue our oversight of independent agents and distributors with on-site assessments to review compliance controls and monitor books and records.
In 2012, under the terms of the Company's Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ('FCPA') settlement, we retained an independent monitor to review the effectiveness of our compliance programme and make recommendations, as appropriate, for further enhancements to the programme. In collaboration with the independent monitor, our programme has been enhanced even further.
In late 2013, the monitor completed his 18-month review and concluded that Smith & Nephew's compliance programme is reasonably designed and implemented to detect and prevent violations of the anti-corruption laws and is functioning effectively.
Smith & Nephew will report directly to the US Department of Justice ('DOJ') and the US Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC') for the remainder of the three-year settlement agreement.
Smith+Nephew has a strong reputation for integrity and ethical conduct. Our name and products are trusted everywhere around the world. Our compliance website contains our legal and ethical principles for carrying out business and applies both to employees and to others who act for us

Here is picture of the two ball sabot load, using two 58cal balls in a 12ga Accutip style sabot.
Hoping we will have sabot like above for reloading soon, in volume so we can load and test a bunch of these 58cal bullets and slugs. There are soft cast, hard cast, and the heavier jacketed. These all work in my 585HE also. The 440gr hollowbase ones loose in the big box on left measure in at .585" and work great in my 585HE cases.
Part of my 585HEs are smooth barrels guns just for testing the different style guns, and different loads. In the one smooth barreled one I have on BBK action, shooting my 585HE with 440 gr hollowbased Minie slug, we were hitting 8 inch paper plate with them going about 2700 at 30yds. Hollowbased they act like shotgun slug at short ranges.
Will be neat deal to shoot them in 12ga accutip style sabots in rifled 12 gauges and the smoothbore 585HEs with $30 barrels. Here is picture of Pedretti(Beretta style) that came as 10ga. I have monoblocked in 585 barrel. In picture there is 585HE case partly out of chamber. I have extra fairly heavy 10ga barrel also and changes in 2 minutes. And that monoblock break action locks up like a bank vault. Real strong.
And an ultimate big bore from history.

We hope a company will be making our modeled 12ga sabots soon, this fall, to deliver to reloaders and suppliers.. We also got first part of funds collected for the initial big run for our 585HE long cases being made. Sending in bunch this week, and need more to make run bigger For more info if your interested contact me.
We, others, and 'VdoMemorie' on the Cast Bullet forums and Shotgun World are experimenting with 58cal Minie slugs and 58cal round balls in 20ga wadcups, and find it is away to slug load your 20ga economically. You can use 20ga Commander wad and also shorter "sporting 20 short" wad from BPI. I cut bottom off of commander and use felt wads and 20ga obturator seal with .575" 470gr minie slug and got 4" group at 30 yds, with smooth barrel. That is with heavy thick,smooth barrel I put in CBC below.
Here is picture of the CBC break action that I mono-blocked in smooth super heavy, thick 20ga barrel..30" long, chambered for 3.5" cases. Works great with 3.5" plastic or brass cases.
Here is picture of the 1887 WIn with my 585HE in it. I put in a heavy barrel and different kind of extractor Barrel is 28".. I like putting my 585HE in all the old style of guns, just to show all the uses the case has.
I found supply of super long bmg cases to make my 700HE Long cases. It is 4.27" long and holds over 370 gr ball powder, 1000gr at 3400 plus. I have it in my Vulcan BMG bolt action and I just got one done in a MRC PH bolt gun, in picture below...Ed

My favorite thread. Good news on the upcoming wad availability. I was thinking this would be a good mild/moderate .578 Minie bullet choice for a rifled Mossberg 500. Cast with Lyman's #2

I have similiar Lee 58cal slug with more pointed nose weighing
500gr and about 8 other different slugs I have picked up
on GB and other places. The variety of noses and weights
that all will fit that 12ga sabot we are working on as well as
fitting a 20ga shocup is a real boon to slug loaders.
And some of them fit my 585HE barrels very well
There are whole bunch of molds to make them from .575" to
.590".. And from 320gr to 605gr in Minie style and R.E.A.L style.
I have some that are pointed and 640gr guy made with solid base
for my 585HE. They are heatreated and take any high speed
without leading. Of course leading no problem with 12ga sabots
or 20ga wadcups.Ed

Here is breach picture of that 12ga O/U made by Armi-Lumar
It has the bottom barrel rifled right from factory, top barrel smooth,
with interchangeble chokes. A real neat gun.
Good news, I got few samples of first production run of my 585HE
cases from Bertram, to test for strength and measure for uniformity.
They all measure perfect and especially the belt length headspace.
He made part of the run, a 1000, without headstamp..And over 3000
with headstamp. Cases only 3 bucks each if you get in on the first
shipment right away..Ship by mail to US cost too much, $1.50 each,
so we will have a bulk freight shipment to US as big as possible.
Folks in other countries order direct from Bertram.
This case can be used in different style guns.,
Bolt, Falling blocks, Break actions, Etc. I have reamers, and dies.
Manson Reamer can make more reamers,CH4D has dies also.
Earlier in thread I've shown various 585HE guns we have set up. Here
is a break action, with 585 barrel monoblocked in, one my favorites,
we just got done.
I tested 585HE moderate loads(650gr @ 2400) in NEF, CBC, Pedretti,
etc, break actions and didn't need sizing on the bottom 2/3. Real
tough built cases. Cases, are real uniform. For high test loads we
fired couple with 650gr at 3000 in Enfield bolt action, and it extracted
ok, and resized ok back to specs. About a 62k psi load. Pockets tight.
First picture, shown is some he made without headstamp that I stamped,
and some with stamp and ones I made on the right..
Also they can be used for wildcats, shorter cases, etc, and folks can stamp
what they want. 2nd picture you see them in a regular # 31 shellholder,
they don't need a special holder.
In 3rd picture of sectioned cases, you can see how strong the cases are
in base and corners, strong like the ones I made, on the left in picture,
which were real strong cases, that worked great with max loads..
The new 585 from Bertram on the right in picture.Nice strong base/corners.
He supplies same base cases for 408 Cheytac, used with hot sniper loads
that run real high average pressures..He will be manufacturing
these Cheytac runs regular, so we can get ours made anytime
we get money built up for an order..Ed

Here is overall view of the Armi-Lumar O/U 12ga that has
one barrel rifled. Second is another view of the breach.
Nice looking gun.
Here is picture of the 58cal Minie bullets in 20ga BPI Commander
shotcup wads, and some 50cal bullets in 20ga BPI Sport shotcups.
Sport wads were too small inside and to tapered inside for 58 cal.
Other two are 458 bullets in a non-discarding base that had SPW,
Buckhamer type slugs in them, that someone took apart, that I got.
Last, 100yd group shot by Ajay on ShotgunWorld with Sav 220 20ga,
with 20ga Commander wad and 58cal cast Minie bullets. Ed

Just saw this thread for the first time...
Your 12GA rifle is a monster of a rifle Hubel. Bet it works as an effective alternative to a chainsaw for taking down trees.
Is this wildcat actually called "12GA From Hell"? It seems like you played a significant part in its development and ".700 Hubel" has a nice ring to it. Did anyone else do it first?
Also if Godzilla ever shows up, I vote that we call you to take care of it.

The first idea for the 12ga FH case built from bmg brass and the name
was from Robgunbuilder over on the Accuratereloading big bore forum.
I just helped make it famous and worked to develope, along with
many others, a variety of applications and guns.That is what
we call it although the barrels are just marked 12ga and the length.
It is in essence a longer 12ga case. I have brass I could make
them longer. The WW2 military had shotgun cases much longer
than ours for starting big aircraft engines.
The long 700 HE belted case is the first one like it
that I know of..Ed

You can reload, you get 700H cases from me, I got dies,
jacketed bullets can gotten 2 to 4 bucks each.
700H 3.25" cases $5 and can be reloaded forever.Main cost
is the bullets.
First is picture of the 8ga Falling Block with texturized paint finish
on the stock. It enhances the grip quite a bit on hard recoil guns.
Second is the Greener that I have my 585 HE in.Also have
12ga barrel for it..
Third is Magtech singleshot action that I'm experimenting
with putting on a thumbhole stock.
Fourth are the long bmg bulleted blank cases that I found, to use to
make my 700HE Long case, 4.27" long. I have few extra sets of
five in links like shown, extra to sell 5 at a time in links,
if some need them for their collections, etc... Ed

In our research to find economical and easy to use setups to load
various slug/sabot combos in 12, 20 and other gauges, you've
seen what we are doing with 58cal slugs in 12ga accutip type sabot we
are getting built, and 58cal slugs in 20ga BPI Commander shotwad.
You've seen pics of group shot by Ajay 58cal in 20ga Commander wad.
And Greg Sappington made 16ga HP slug that fit 12ga BPI CSD wad.
CSD wads are little thicker. In that vein we found another 20 ga combo
that uses the BPI 20ga CSD wads and larger diameter of the 54cal
muzzleloading slugs. Wad is thick and short so we can get the
volumne of our slow powder we want in the loads for higher speeds.
And base of CSD 20ga wad is thicker and stronger than most wads.
. It doesn't have built on cushion, doesn't need cushion, which is not
needed for slow powder loads. Has a good built on powder seal.
It is long so it can be cut to fit any 54cal slug length.
Best 54cal slugs to use are .543" and up.
There is .548" Sharps style 2nd in picture from Dixie Gunworks.There is
54cal Great Plains in picture on left, Far right in picture is 550 Magnum
jacketed bullets in 20ga CSD. Great for hogs, bear. There are a variety
of 54cal slugs you can cast or buy. Not big number like 58cal, but
enough to find goos combo. Shot 3" group with 54cal Great Plains in
CSD at 30 yds, smooth bore. Going over 2000 fps.
Second picture shows they even work and fit good in 20ga RMC brass.
Fits in a brass case real tight with .548" Sharps style slug in picture..
Third picture shows how we mono-block 585HE barrels into strong
singleshot break actions. Done it in NEFs, CBCs, Pedretti, Beretta,
and the Magtech 199 shown above.
Fourth picture is the O/U Tristar with 585HE on top and 3.5" 12ga bottom.
We sleeved the top barrel with .585" ID sleeve. We will use it with
the 58cal .585" Minie hollowbase slugs. Bottom just for shot loads
with a interchangeable chokes. Ed

Little work on non-discarding 12ga sabots,You can get SPW
wads without slugs in them and we set up one for a light load.
We put a 20ga Lyman in some and they stay together ok. Just
shorten the bottom skirt of Lyman and bevel the bottom corner.
Total weight sabot and all is 360gr,,Shown In the picture..
We also shrunk the skirt of the 12ga Lyman cast slug and put it
in 12ga SPW wads and total about 550gr. If you have Lyman
12ga mold, can use it as pattern to make a slug to go into a
SPW wad. Leave the top part same as original Lyman and make
bottom so it fits in the SPW with real tight fit.
I like to use P14/M17 Enfields for our testing. Great for my 585HE
case and in picture it shows how we change the sear spring to one
on the back of the sear. So we can open up the bottom to feed
the long cases from singlestack magazine box by removing the
unneeded front of the sear and the action metal above, giving
room to the back for cases that are 3.9" overall loaded length.
Couple guys who are setting up 585HEs in singleshots are going
to shoot 58cal Minies and other bullets and use black powder
and/or substitutes. So I tested some with Pyrodex pellets,
Used 54cal, 60gr equivalent and they stack in the case ok,
and just beveled corner of bottom one so it set tight to the base.
As the case has good inside radius. Used 3 pellets with 24ga
card over pellets, 3/8" felt wad and another card with 440gr Minie.
There is a certain nostalgia about all that sulfur smell.If you can
stand the cleaning. Slug going 2100.. 4 pellets about 2400.
Here is picture of another long bullet in sabot/wad , in 12ga that
was sent to me. Ajay on Shotgun World set this one up
Did some testing, 12ga plastic & brass with new super slow RE-33 powder.
It fires off ok in 12ga with 700gr and heavier slugs, with shotgun primers
like slow RE-17 . It is made the same way as RE-17 as far as how the
deterrent is put into the powder. Which is why it ignites in large diameter
cases like 12ga and BMG with shotgun primers. Really be great for super
heavy 1100 to 1500 grain slugs to get good speed and keep case damaging
peak pressurs down. Example in 3.5" Fiocchi 12ga plastic case, 690gr slug in
BPI Helix Driver Wad with 180 gr RE33 the basecup only expanded .002".
And the Fiocchis are the softest bases around.Ed

Last picture above shows what can be with sabots. It was thought to
be 20ga size when we got picture, but it is a smaller
45cal caliber sabot with 30cal streamlined bullets in them.
This was set up by the poster 'edge' on Castbullets forum.
More info on the SPW sabots with 520 gr Lyman reworked and locked into
them. With 3.5" brass RMC in the NEF long barrel gun, going about 2500
they smash though 6" timber with Lyman tearing wood up. Also got the same
combo 2200 in 3.5" plastic. Lyman in sabot on the left in picture on
right is factory SPW.
Another setup using the largest diameter 58 Minie I have is this .590" in this
12ga real thick muzzleloading wadcup for steel shot. I chamferred the bottom of
Minie slug and wedged it in the cup. The cup comes real long and we cut it off.
That leaves perfect edge to roll crimp against. Dab of epoxy holds the Minie slug
in, so it works like a non-discarding sabot. This wad has is own seal and fairly
short compared to others, so it leaves room for more of our slower powders.
Shorter slug and wad setups make loading easier.
Here is picture of the Magtech we redid in the 585HE by mono-blocking in 585
barrel. This is second one we've done. Tried out a ladder peep sight on the
back. Makes a neat gun.That underlever is a great touch.Ed
As part of the 585 test guns have smooth barrels, they are like a hopped up
24ga. We got couple bags of 24ga cards and felt wads. Easy way to use
reduced loads as the wads are perfect in 585 case. For comparison top load
say with RE17 and 650gr bullet is 170gr, but you can put in 100gr and card
and couple wads and have real easy load. And you don't have to worry about
airspace. Great for reduced loads with Minie slugs. In the same vein you
can put in a card over the powder and about 3/4 oz of shot and have a real
speedy 24ga shot load equivalent. Put card over the shot and glue it in.Ed

First picture is of nice finished 87 Winchester Will Sanders got set up
and he is using short brass cases.Beautiful scroll work on the stock.
Next is takeoff of a slug idea from Longbow on Cast Boolits, 12ga lead
roundball with section of copper tube, with wads inside, bpgs seal on the
bottom, screwed together. I have many boxes of wads. Now he did his with
screw into ball, put tube on with screw centered inside tube and filled tube
with hot glue. It stays together. Both are nose heavy for smooth bore work.
Next is side sectioned view, one of our 585HE cases, showing how 3/4
ounce of shot fits in.. 585 is same bore as 24ga. Cards shown are 24ga.
Just glue top card in.Some of our 585s are smoothbore and the HB Minie
slugs work at short range and the shot will do at short range also going
over 2000 fps. Could use 24ga shotcup.
Next is a Mossy 390 with heavy 585 barrel. Makes a nice big bore gun,
and handles nice with texturized stock finish. About same strength as
the heavy break actions I have 585HE in.Ed

Here is picture of the 12ga short brass RMC cases being used in
the 1887 WIN shown above. They are 2 5/8" long cases and we
get 600gr over 1900. He had work done on action to get it to feed
these and 3" roll crimped plastic. Brass loaded about same length
as 3' plastic crimped little long.
Next pic are Lyman slugs cast for thin 12ga wad, used in thickwall
10ga VP100 wads. These Lymans I got are on large size and fit
VP100 fairly well. Makes easy, lighter, superfast load in 10ga.
Next; further idea with Longbow's tube/roundball slug shown above.
Use tube hot glued to ball with screw in the back and use it in
a 10ga VP100 wadcup. These type slugs little more accurate used
in wads as opposed to fullbore.
Next shows picture of a long 585 bullets, about 1600gr in our 585HE
cases. Got the idea from Bret In Minn that could setup 585HE
guns with super long throat and load down to subsonic speeds to
make the 585HE Whisper.....And regular bullet loads would still fire
in the same guns......And at subsonic 1050fps it would have about
4000 ft lbs, about twice what the peashooter whisper cases have.
And my case could get a 2400 gr long bullet to same subsonic speed
for 6000 ft lbs. And one that long would have proportions like the
newer tank cannon, smooth barrel saboted darts, that it could be
possibly be done, using long 2400gr in smooth barrel.
Neat ideas from guys interested in whisper type loads.
Last is picture of FBW in our 585HE with handgrip stock and light
barrel for lightweight carrying. Grip is weighted, gun is 6lbs.
Barrel is 28". I'm not a fan of light barrels. 650gr at 2500 is max of
what I can hold onto shooting from the hip Moderate load
.Little info about my 585 loads, like in the break actions and the
Mossy in post above. I load about 85% max velocities, but to get
85% we only need 2/3 the peak pressure, like 40,000 psi
instead of 65,000...Ed

We have a winner it seems. The 12ga sabots using 58cal slugs.
The sample 12ga sabots got here earlier this week. And we got a bunch
of testing already for opening and sealing, and some accuracy testing .440gr
Minie bullet, measuring .575"; with OD of sabot with slug in it of .737" It is
perfect. Going moderate 1800. Petals opened perfect and evenly and they all
stayed on perfect. No petals twisted or torn. Tested in 3" case with slower
powder loads. 80gr of 4759 and 50gr Alliant Steel. Fiocchi case.
Savage 210 rifled barrel, 1 to 35 twist. Cases with slower powders expanded
only a little, and those cases are soft ones.
We have big bunch of the sabots here now.
All petals were opened at about 30 deg to the base when picked up.
With ither powder the bases have no damage, or burn throughs or melting.
Took rifling perfect, so skidding on the rifling. Most of the rifling grip is on the
bottom half of sabot, which is why these and Accutips are best as the bottom
is full size instead of dropping back in size, compared to the top, like many
other sabots. Rifling in the barrel still clean..
The Minies are hollow based and the slug edges did not cut into the inside of the
sabot bases,just a slight impression. We have got good base thickness.
Good Accuracy - In the cold and very windy day, hit milk jugs at 30 yds.
Here is picture inside sabot showing just a slight indent. No need of cards under
slugs, and if you did, the the slugs would set up in sabot and not have the
curve of the slug behind the inside circular rib for best fit...
You got to use right powders. With right slower powders( not fast shotgun),
that start easier and used in larger amounts, you won't tear up the sabots.
It is false economy to use all fast shotgun powders,trying to get twice as many
shots per pound... and tear up sabots, expand cases too much, get poor groups,
miss that deer or whatever. For most of you in 3" cases Alliant Steel is best.

Here is picture of a bunch of the sabots with different slugs and bullets.
Back Row- Two roundball load, balls 285gr each-- pointed long 700 gr -- a blunt
solid 700gr-- tungsten slug 1000gr --- jacketed bullet -- 600gr.
2nd row-611 Lyman 530gr Minie- 500gr flat base- Lee 500gr hard--Lee 500gr soft
1st Row- Lyman 440gr old style minie-- Lyman 510 gr new style-- 440gr from Dixie
Gunworks-- 400gr Lee target style. I like 440gr old style and 440 gr Dixie. For sale
on Gunbroker is all sizes and weights.. Or cast your own. Lots of moulds around.
Lee moulds only 20 bucks. Best diameters to use are .574 " to .577" Minies.
If you have ones bigger and they are not hardened you can roll them betweem two
hard surfaces and they will get little smaller. I have some that are .585" 440gr
and work in my 585HE and they can be rolled smaller.
Here are sabots with variety of seals/wads, and the shortest one in picture with
white felt wad just fits in 3" case with 80gr 4759, and still leaves room to roll crimp.
I compress it in hard. Now only faster powder than 4759 I'd use is Alliant Steel in
smaller amounts, 50gr Steel, in 3", and thicker wads and cushions like shown.
To roll crimp over the top edge of sabot we had .220" of case before crimping.
You only have to crimp top edge of sabot real good.
After crimping the slugs are tight and don't move around. The circular rib inside the
sabot holds slugs tight back into the base. Speeds over 2000 fps
will be gotten using 3.5" plastic cases, with our slower powder loads. .
More testing for accuracy yesterday, a warmer, calmer day, with steel sights.
Hit. paper plate at 50 yds.
As said above, best to use right powders. Right slower powders( not fast shotgun),
that get to peak pressure slower, thus can use larger amounts, can get to higher
velocities, and you won't tear up the sabots and won't expand cases as much.
For most of you in 2.75" and 3" cases Alliant Steel is best.
FOR 440GR SLUGS IN SABOT---For 2.75" start at 40gr and go up to about 50.
For 3" start at 45gr go up to about 55. I like 3.5" best as you can load much easier
for speed, still have more cushion wads. Start with 50gr Steel, go up to about 62.
Case brands act different, but using the slower powders minimizes the differences
and keeps us away from surprizing pressure problems.
In 3" plastic,most 4759 I can get in and still have 1/4"cushion is 80gr.... In the 3.5"
I can get in 105 gr with this sabot and get over 2000 fps, In these loads if using
480-500gr cut back 3 gr. These 58cal slugs can be cast or they are at Dixie Gunworks
and 4 guys on Gunbroker got them. Get ones .574" to .577"

Here is picture of 45-50yd target, used a scoped NEF Ultra, the sabot load of a 440gr 58cal slug in it at 1800... Measures 2.5" on outside for 3 shots.
Here is pic of almost 2100 of them. More coming. Time to get them and get loads working.
A little levity in this process.Ed

Some more info about our sabots and various slug weights......
First and most important is our sabots fitting real tight like the Accutip
Sabots, they will not get the same speed at the same pressures as
the undersize grey and blue ones, But they do leave the barrel
headed straighter and without damage, even with hollowbase 58cal
slugs in them as the pics above show. No cards under slugs in sabots.,
But with good powder seals, using Alliant Steel, and good 1/4" minimum
cushion wads.
The 440gr Minie slug of .575" in the 3" cases is the one I used as a
base loading, to work each way by weight to find what loads of
Alliant Steel work and extract in my NEF. Using 3" soft base cases.
Here is pic of before/after of Fiocchi cases, on right unfired and left
fired, 55gr Steel with 440 gr slug.
For 440gr max of 55gr Steel
For 400gr max of 57gr Steel
For 360gr max of 59gr Steel
For 490gr max of 52gr Steel.
For 510gr max of 49gr Steel
For 540gr max of 47gr Steel.
I tested all these weights for extraction. It is real nice to reach into a
bucket, grap a sabot that fits right, and go to loading and shooting.
Many of you need to get in on the fun.
Here is picture of Fiocchi with sabot, roll crimped. The top of sabot is
perfect for roll crimping...It is setting under crimp tool in drill press.
Earler I showed the 585HE Falling block with pistol grip and the light
barrel. Here it is with Knoxx Compstock buttstock. We added 2 extra
springs inside for relatively hard recoiling gun, as stock originally made
for a REM 870 Pump. Works great and looks nice; will putting one on
the Magtech 585HE singleshot break action and got one in rifle stock
for Ruger 77 in 585HE.
And many guys want wildcats with shoulders, with big neck down, so
in developing the ultimate 700 blaster, here is the 700HSM. Shown next
to Gibbs 650gr ball powder..1000gr at 3800...How about that.
Will be one of only 2 guns I plan on being over 30 lbs, other is 2bore..

The sabots aren't moving fast at all and I got to
money back out of them right way, and seeing as how
we're low on slugs to send with the sabots, in big numbers,
and no one has yet to buy out our stash of sabots and
set up so they can be selling the sabots, so we will try
selling them fast a few weeks longer. So to get these
moving out and getting tested and we pay our bills,we will
be having sale on just the sabots, in larger amounts only.
We will send one each of 440gr and 500gr slug so
the guys can see what we have found that works.
Because of the shipping costs and boxes that 2, 3, or 4 bags
of sabots fit in, that has an affordable postage cost to pay,
we have to sell these in 200, 300, and 400 size orders..
So, 200 sabots $47 Shipping included,
300 sabots $65 Shipping included...400 for $83 shipping incl.
Now 200 of the other brand X of undersize ones cost $68
plus shipping. There was dozens of guys the last few
years all over the internet that bought undersize junk,
that wanted good sabots and complained that the ones
they bought elsewhere didn't work...... I haven't heard
from most of them, So guys please get around quick
and help us out here..MO, Check, Paypal..Ed

The sabots work in brass cases .First is sabot in a Magtech brass case,
next to 3" plastic.. In shorter brass it would hold about as much powder
as in longer plastic if loaded like in the picture..
Sabots are about .734-735" with slugs in them, and
the Magtech brass with its thin sides still is slightly small OD at the
top compared to plastic, with sabot wedged in.
Next is sabot in RMC case, and sides are full thickness like plastic cases
at the mouth, so don't expand case to hold sabot. We have RMC make case
mouth ID to fit sabot. Sabot being little over fits barrels tight and rifling
impresses into plastic well and gets best spin, and being tight it leaves barrel
straight, with petals opening evenly. Brass case mouths are tight enough that
we push sabot in with a press.Saves trying to crimp heavy RMC case.
Here is picture of a barrel and barrel on a gun from 20 gauge singlshots that
will have the heavy 20ga rifled barrel in picture, mono-blocked into them.

Mel Gibson has been replaced.
Actor Liam Neeson revealed Friday he'd flown to the set of "The Hangover 2" to shoot a cameo, a day after the film's director said his cast and crew had put the kibosh on Gibson's participation.
"I just got a call to do a one day shoot on 'Hangover 2' as a tattooist in Thailand, and that's all I know about it," Neeson told Daily Variety. "I just laughed my leg off when I saw 'The Hangover,' I was shooting in Berlin earlier this year and rented it on the hotel TV."
U.S. & World
Neeson credited "A-Team" co-star Bradley Cooper with helping him score the role, the actor told Daily Variety.
"Hangover" director Todd Phillips said in a statement Thursday that he'd pulled the plug on Gibson's planned cameo in the bro-tastic party film co-starring Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms.
"I thought Mel would have been great in the movie and I had the full backing of [WB president] Jeff Robinov and his team," Phillips said, TheWrap.com reported. "But I realize filmmaking is a collaborative effort, and this decision ultimately did not have the full support of my entire cast and crew."
Turns out Neeson and Gibson share the same manager.
Gossip site TMZ.com reported that rep Alan Nierob confirmed Neeson's "Hangover" participation in the film "pending clearance of cast and crew background check."

Out of Zion Ministries &
Intercessors for the Restoration for Israel
Isaiah 2:3 "For Out of Zion shall go Forth the Law &
the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem"
The Silver Family
SHALOM in the Name of YESHUA. We are a Messianic Jewish family originally from Auckland, New Zealand. My wife Josie, and our two sons, Stefan and Jordan. We moved to Mt. Carmel in nothern Israel in 1992. In August 2008 the family grew as Stefan married Keren, a worship leader and songwriter from Jerusalem.
Out of Zion Ministries
Find out what God is doing in Israel and with Jewish believers. David publishes the Carmel Alert which is a compilation of news for the past week for those committed to praying for the restoration of Israel and the Jewish people. David Silver,the founder/director of OUT of ZION Ministries based in Israel,is an internationally recognised preacher and teacher.
Intercessors for the Restoration of Israel
I.R.I. is an email based network that will enable two-way communication from Israel to the nations, and from the nations to Israel. Just before the Lord established this ministry, I had a very vivid dream in which I saw many small rivers flowing into one big river. The small rivers represented the many different nations, and the big river represented Zion. (Jeremiah 31:12)
The climax of Israel's restoration, after coming back to the Land and having the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit) breathed into us, is to fulfill the call of Ex 19:6, Is 49:6 and Isaiah 2:3 – to be a Light to the Nations. The Out of Zion team has answered this call to take the Word out from Zion. There is an increasing number of Israeli believers answering this call to the nations."
– David Silver

{I love these amazing pocket doors and the perfect shade of blue in this dining room by Peter Pennoyer Architects.}
The generous people at Vendome Press recently asked if I would be interested in reviewing copies of their new books, Peter Pennoyer Architects and The Irish Country House. I always love to check out new design books so I agreed to take a look at the new books. Any time that I am sent something, I make sure that the sender knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that I will only write about it in a favorable light and the only way that will happen is if I truly love it. Luckily, there were no awkward moments to be had in this situation because I truly enjoyed both books.
Peter Pennoyer Architects focuses on twenty of the firm's recently-completed projects including country homes, townhouses, and apartments. Each of Pennoyer's projects is extremely polished, though the style ranges from very traditional to more of a transitional look like you'll see in the pictures I've chosen for this post.
{While Pennoyer's projects include entire homes and many beautiful, thoughtful details, my favorite rooms in the book are the kitchens the firm has designed.}
{This is one of my favorite rooms in the book! I love the cabinetry, lighting, and the contrast of the dark floors and honed black granite against the white cabinetry.}
{A Second Look at the Same Lovely Kitchen}
The second book that I was invited to review was The Irish Country House. While my own design sensibility is typically more modern, I thoroughly enjoyed learning about these fascinating old estates and the Irish characters who lived in them for generations. The homes are filled with antiques, mysterious relics, family photographs, and an endless amount of inspiration and intrigue. There is something about grand old castles and homes that captures one's imagination in a way that most other things cannot.
{Each house has so many thoughtful details like these floors and arches. There is a storybook quality to each home featured in this book."}
{I would have loved to see this kitchen in action 100 years ago!}
{This gorgeous, classic stationery was one of many thoughtful details in the book.}

34. On the threshold stood the fulminant figure of Evil, the Horror of emptiness, with his ghastly eyes like poisonous wells. He stood, and the chamber was corrupt; the air stank. He was an old and gnarled fish more hideous than the shells of Abaddon.
35. He enveloped me with his demon tentacles; yea, the eight fears took hold upon me.
36. But I was anointed with the right sweet oil of the Magister; I slipped from the embrace as a stone from the sling of a boy of the woodlands.
37. I was smooth and hard as ivory; the horror gat no hold. Then at the noise of the wind of Thy coming he was dissolved away, and the abyss of the great void was unfolded before me.

There's a bunch of doctors gathered together at a doctor's convention one night.
A male doctor notices a female doctor from across the room. The female doctor notices also and the next thing you know, they're sitting next to each other by the end of dinner.
After dinner, the male asks the woman if she wants to go up to his hotel room.
''Sure,'' the woman says. ''Let me go wash my hands first.''
After she washes her hands, they have sex. After they are finished, she washes her hands again.
This is really starting to annoy the male doctor so he says, ''You know, you must be a surgeon, because you keep washing your hands.''
Angry at this remark, the woman says, ''Well, you must be an anasthesiologist, because I didn't feel a thing!''

It is the policy of New York University (NYU, "the University") that Sponsored Programs Administration (SPA), Principal Investigators (PI's) and Department Administrators (DA's) share responsibility for payments made on Sponsor Awards. PI's and their staff are required to assist SPA to ensure timely receipt of award funding. SPA is responsible for ensuring all payments received for sponsored awards are accounted for in a manner consistent with sponsor requirements and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This includes payments received electronically (e.g., letter-of-credit draws) and by "wire" or check.
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidance for monitoring and collecting sponsored programs cash and accounts receivable in accordance with Federal and other sponsor requirements.
This policy is applicable to all schools, departments, units and personnel of the University involved in administering sponsored award and contracts.
The responsibility for cash and accounts receivable management for sponsored programs is shared by PI's, DA's and SPA. SPA performs many of the duties associated with accounts receivable management as a service to the departments. SPA's tasks include:
An account receivable is established for a sponsored award in PeopleSoft at the time expenses are recorded. This receivable is cleared after payment is received and posted to the sponsored project. For Federally sponsored awards, payment is received on a cost reimbursement basis, not at the time funds are authorized. SPA is responsible for preparing and performing Letter-of-Credit draws, which are processed through the respective agencies online payment system. The Federal agencies authorize a line of credit for the University to draw funds that meet the aggregate expenditure activity of the sponsor's awards to the University. SPA submits an LOC payment request up to three times a month for reimbursement of expenses. Payments are made to the University via Automated Clearing House (ACH) the following day.
For non-Federal sponsors and Federal sponsors with whom NYU does not have a letter-of-credit relationship, invoices are submitted periodically, typically monthly for an award depending on the billing terms established by the sponsor. The SPA financial analyst processes the invoice and monitors payments to ensure they are received timely and accurately.
Awards based on milestones, deliverables or scheduled periodic payments normally do not require an invoice to be submitted by SPA.
Electronic Payments
SPA will identify electronic payments recorded in the University's bank statement and apply the payment to the appropriate sponsored project in the University's financial system.
Payments Received by Mail
NYU occasionally receives checks from sponsors. Payments from Foundations should be routed immediately to the Office of Gift Administration for deposit. Checks should be hand-delivered to the respective office to ensure timely application of payment. A copy of the check, project ID and accompanying documentation should also be forwarded to SPA to ensure payment is applied to the correct sponsored project.
Handling Expenditures for a Sponsored Project That Are Not Collectible
If the expenditures for a sponsored project are not collectible, the amount must be funded by the department responsible for the project. The amount will be transferred to a departmental discretionary chartfield with the same function as the sponsored project. For example, the over-expenditure for a research grant will be transferred to a departmental cost share program. This is to ensure that the amount will be included in the research base for the Facilities and Administrative Cost Proposal.
The University must remit to the Federal government amounts drawn in excess of expenditures plus accrued interest if the excess funds are not used within three business days. For all other sponsors, if the University is not entitled to retain funds received in excess of expenses (surplus), SPA will remit a refund to the sponsor. See the Award Closeout Policy for cases where the University is entitled to retain payments in excess of expenses.

This 175-foot tall light was first lit in 1887. The original name Mosquito Inlet and then Ponce de Leon Inlet, was finally change in 1963, by tourism minded area leaders, to Ponce Inlet.
The lighthouse, keeper?s dwelling, oil storage building, and grounds of this much visited landmark have been meticulously restored by the Ponce de Leon Inlet Preservation Association.
Located 6 miles south of Daytona Beach at the mouth of the Halifax River, this lighthouse is rich is history and stories. Open to the public, there is a lovely gift shop, nearby restaurants, and a marvelous view to the south of New Smyrna Beach and beyond to the rocket gantries of Cape Canaveral.

Finished a painting today. The strokes just 'worked', and it just came together.. but that's not always the case.
When a painting 'works', you take a step back and try to figure out why, so you can apply whatever the 'magic formula' is next time. When it doesn't work, it makes it all the harder to start the next one. --in fact, it becomes tedious work.
You toggle back and forth wondering whether you had too much self confidence at the start and took the process for granted. Then, I like to blame things that really don't have any affect on the end result-- like whatever crap music Ralph's playing. Because, you know, crap music can ruin a painting.
So, following this line of thought, the formula's the answer. John Lennon had the formula. Babe Ruth had the formula. I just need to get the formula.
But that's not it either. IF there was a formula, it would compromise the discovery and growth, and the whole process would become mundane. That's when a creative process becomes a factory product.
It's a juggling act. If it was all struggle, I'd give up and go get an office job. If it was all ease, well, then I'd get bored and go get an office job.

Record-breaking year in philanthropy among UT System institutions
AUSTIN - Confidence in the national economy might still be a little shaky, but thanks to the generosity of many, University of Texas System institutions hit new highs in fiscal year 2012.
Overall giving of more than $1.2 billion -- in the form of gifts, pledges, and testamentary commitments -- supported the mission of UT institutions during fiscal year 2012. Of that amount, $800 million was in cash. Some 220,000 alumni, other individuals, corporations, foundations and organizations made gifts to advance institutional priorities benefitting students, faculty, research, programs and facilities. Leading the way among 15 UT institutions was UT Austin, which received an impressive $335.3 million in overall giving and UT MD Anderson with $294.2 million.
Fundraising results for cash received exceeded the previous five-year average for UT Institutions by 12.2 percent and surpassed last year's results by 7.7 percent. On the national level, UT institutions collectively ranked second in giving among public university systems.
"It is both gratifying and remarkable that the UT System recorded its highest level of philanthropic support," said External Relations Vice Chancellor Randa Safady. "We are thankful to the generous benefactors and their ongoing investment in the future of Texas. They are truly making a difference, and we are committed to being good stewards of the resources entrusted to UT institutions."
Safady will present a report detailing the fiscal year 2012 philanthropic activity across the System to the UT System Board of Regents during a regular board meeting in Austin on Thursday. The development review serves as a tool for the System to ensure that institutions are provided with resources and strategies to maximize their success.
Philanthropy is an important part of UT System Chancellor Francisco G. Cigarroa's Framework for Advancing Excellence, and the development review provides the Regents with pertinent fundraising results, trends, and analyses. In recent years the UT System Board of Regents and institutions have made additional investments in fundraising programs, with an emphasis on increasing the role that philanthropy plays in a university's overall expenditures.
"Philanthropy is critical to advancing excellence across our mission at UT System institutions and I could not be more grateful to our generous donors for the support they provide," Cigarroa said. "The fact that UT supporters continue to give – and give at higher levels than ever before – speaks volumes about their dedication to UT students and to the state of Texas."
About The University of Texas System
Educating students, providing care for patients, conducting groundbreaking research and serving the needs of Texans and the nation for more than 130 years, The University of Texas System is one of the largest public university systems in the United States, with nine academic universities, six health institutions and a fall 2012 enrollment of roughly 216,000. The UT System confers more than one-third of the state's undergraduate degrees and educates nearly three-fourths of the state's health care professionals annually. The UT System has an annual operating budget of $13.9 billion (FY 2013) including $3.1 billion in sponsored programs funded by federal, state, local and private sources. With more than 87,000 employees, the UT System is one of the largest employers in the state.

20. Catherynne M. Valente. Valente has had several award-winning and nominated short fiction and novels released in the past couple of years. Her latest novel, The Folded World (November 2011), I would highly recommend to those who are even remotely familiar with the Prester John myth.
21. Michael Blumlein. Blumstein was nominated in years past for the World Fantasy Award and the Bram Stoker award, but he hasn't had any new collections or novels released since 2005.
22. Eugene Mirabelli. Mirabelli has been nominated for both the Pushcart Prize and Nebula Award for his fiction and according to his website, he has a new novel, Rento, the Painter, coming out later in 2012.
23. Frances Ya-Chu Cowhig. Ya-Chu Cowhig released a drama, Lidless, in late 2010.
24. Jenny Boully. Boully's latest novel, not merely because of the unknown that was stalking toward them, was released in June 2011. Just ordered a copy (not on Amazon)
25. Joe Celizic. Celizic has appeared in several anthologies, but no separate collections or novels.

28. Amit Majmudar. Majmudar has released at least one poetry collection and a debut novel, Partitions (June 2011), the latter of which I read and enjoyed last year.
29. Will Kaufman. Could not find any definitive news on any collections or novels he may have had released since 2010.
30. Joan Connor. Connor's most recent collection, How to Stop Loving Someone, won the 2010 Leapfrog Fiction Contest and was published in book form in September 2011.
31. L. Annette Binder. Binder's debut collection, Rise, comes out later this year. She is a previous Pushcart Prize winner.
Since this is taking longer than I had expected, I'll do the second half in 2-3 days. So far, it's been pleasant to discover all of the accolades and awards several of these writers have enjoyed. Hopefully, this will inspire some of you to investigate their works further and perhaps purchase/read a few.

Ohio's fungal meningitis cases back to 16
Ohio now has 16 fungal meningitis cases linked to a larger outbreak and recalled steroid injections because the state is counting a 55-year-old Kentucky woman who received an injection in Ohio.
Health officials won't say where the woman lives.
The other 15 cases are in Clermont, Crawford, Franklin, Hamilton, Marion, Morrow, Union and Warren counties. They involve adults, and none have died.
Officials previously removed one woman from the list because the case no longer met the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention definition of this type of meningitis.
Federal officials report more than 430 illnesses and 32 deaths in the outbreak linked to a specialty pharmacy that recalled its products.
Officials say dozens of Ohio facilities received the pharmacy's products. Four clinics in Ohio got the potentially contaminated steroids.

California search experts deployed to Oklahoma
Urban Search and Rescue Team members to aid in rescue efforts
A team of six urban search-and-rescue specialists from California has been deployed to join recovery efforts in the wake of Monday's tornado damage in Oklahoma.
California's Urban Search and Rescue Team members will help coordinate the efforts of emergency crews searching the aftermath of the twister.
"They will be there to make sure things run as efficiently and effectively as possible," said Niko King, a spokesperson for Sacramento's Urban Search and Rescue Team.
Gov. Jerry Brown ordered the deployment Tuesday.
"Our thoughts are with the communities impacted by Monday's tornado, and we stand ready to assist," Brown said in a news release.
One of the team members now in Oklahoma is former Sacramento Metro Fire chief and interim Emergency Services Manager for the Yolo County Office of Emergency Services, Rick Martinez.
"This activation is especially poignant as it was 18 years ago, that Martinez lead the Sacramento-based Urban Search and Rescue Team to the Oklahoma City bombing," read a news release from Yolo County's OES.

The cause of death for That '70s Show alum Lisa Robin Kelly has finally been revealed.
Kelly, who played Eric's older sister on the comedy, died from multiple drug intoxication when she passed away in her sleep six months ago, TMZ.com reports.
See other celebrities we lost last year
The L.A. County Coroner has ruled the death to be an accidental overdose. The specific drugs that were in Kelly's system at the time of her death were not disclosed, but the actress had a history with illegal substances. She was arrested at least four times during the past three years for DUI, spousal abuse and assault.
At the time of her death, Kelly's agent Craig Wyckoff said that she had voluntarily checked herself into a treatment center days earlier. Kelly died on Aug. 15 at an alcohol rehab facility in L.A. County at the age of 43.
The Coroner's full report will be released within two weeks.

Less than 24 hours after Gawker's mole Joe Muto was identified and suspended from his job at Fox News, the website reports that Fox is threatening both Muto and Gawker with civil and criminal charges.
In a letter to Gawker publisher Nick Denton, Fox News's lawyers demand that the site "immediately stop publishing information and videos that have been unlawfully obtained by or from Joe Muto, and return them to Fox News." It also says that Gawker should "immediately take all necessary steps to preserve all documents and information related to its hire and employment" of Muto.
The letter was posted on Gawker this afternoon, accompanied by a photo of a young Bill O'Reilly with a topless lady, which is presumably part of Muto's loot.

Like a subtle wraith of mist in the still-dark of the night in late July he stole: silent and fleet, not hesitating. He came from the northwest corner of the church, where a small door led out into the abbey court from the side of the narthex. He did not cross the court, but passed stealthily along the walk between the yew-hedge and the perimeter wall. Swift and noiseless he slipped along the close. It was a clear night but the dark of the moon, and only the stars gave light at this hour of the morning. At the end of Lauds, as the brothers shuffled back up the night stairs to resume their sleep, he had abstracted himself so unobtrusively that no one had seen. He had dodged back into the nave and stood in the deep shadows of the arcade in the side aisle on the north side of the church, hardly breathing. When all was still, he opened the small door with utmost caution; sliding the bolts back slowly and steadily without a sound, drawing the door closed and lifting and dropping the latch with barely a click, he left, and he was outside in the freshness of the night. Such faint light as the stars gave out found his silver hair, but that was the only glimmer of his presence as he slid from the abbey court along the close.
Peartree Cottage stood in the middle of the row of houses. The wicket gate stood ajar, and he pushed it open without a sound. As he stepped into the garden, the herbs gave up their fragrance underfoot. He felt a slug fall into his sandal. He stooped to flick out the slug and to scratch up a handful of earth that he flung at the upstairs window. No response. He tried again. This time the casement was opened with irritable vigor from the inside, and Madeleine's voice said sharply, "Who is it?" Peering down suspiciously into the garden she might not have seen him, but he moved very slightly and most quietly spoke her name.
"Whatever do you want?" she whispered then, surprised. "Will you let me in?" She heard the soft-spoken words. And as she came in the dark down the narrow ladder stairway, she realized the implications of this visit. Naturally cautious, she asked herself, Are you sure you welcome this? Just in going down the stairs, in opening the door, she realized her heart was saying, Yes.
As quietly as she could, she drew back the bolts and turned the key, lifted the latch, and opened the door to him.
"Whatever has possessed you? What on earth do you think you're doing?" she whispered fiercely as he came into the room. "Shall I light the candle?"
"Nay, nay! There are no curtains, you might as well light a beacon," he said softly. "Can you not see?"
He himself had good night vision; it was an honest question. "I wouldn't need to see!" she whispered back. "Who else would risk us both being thrown out by coming here at this time of the night? Are you certain no one saw you?"
"It's only a fool who is ever certain no one saw him. I surely hope not though, or we are done for, as you say."
In silence they stood then, not three feet between them in the warm darkness of the cottage. Embers tidied together on the hearth still glowed from the small fire Madeleine had lit to cook her supper. They gave out hardly any light at all: but between the embers and the stars, the shapes of things in the room and the man who stood before her could be clearly enough discerned.
"Well?" she said then. "What should I think? Why are you here?"
He stood silently. She waited for his reply. She knew well enough, but did not dare to presume what she hoped for.
"Do you . . . " His voice sounded unsure then; she heard the vulnerability in it. "Do you want me?"
Madeleine hesitated one last moment. There was still time to go back on this. She heard the intake of his breath in anxious uncertainty.
So she said in quick reassurance, "Of course I want you. With the whole of me. But is this honest? Isn't it stolen? Aren't we deceiving my brother?"
But he waited for no further discussion: she was in his embrace then, the ardent hold of yearning that she and he had waited for, it felt like so long. He did not kiss her, simply held her to him, his body pressed trembling against hers.
She closed her eyes and took in the feel of him; the heat of his hunger for her, the beating of his heart and his quickened breath—all of him, bone and muscle and skin, the soul of him that lit every part, the pulse of desire and destiny. She loved the touch of him, the smell of him. She knew by heart every mannerism, every trick of movement and expression, every inflection of his voice. In any crowd she would have turned at his footstep, knowing whom she heard.
"I had to come to you," he whispered, his face against her hair. "I couldn't think, I couldn't sleep; I haven't been able to concentrate on anything. I know I can't have you, I do know. But I need to have the memory of just one time together: for a refuge, for a viaticum—something real. I have been so desperate for you . . . to touch you . . . to hold you close to me . . . to feel your heartbeat and bury my face in your hair. Oh, my love, my love . . . I have ached to hold you."
She felt his hand lift to her head, caressing and by the starlight she saw in his face such tenderness, such a flowing of love toward her as she had never imagined life might offer. He kissed her then, delicate kisses as light as a lacewing landing on a leaf: kissed her throat, her jaw, her cheekbones, her brow, kissed her eyelids closed, and then she felt his lips brush the curve of her cheek to find her mouth. He too closed his eyes as she parted her lips to the slow, beautiful, sensual rhapsody of his lover's kiss.
She felt the momentous tide of it overflow through all of her like the wave-swell of the sea; then before she could bear to let him go, he drew back from his kiss, but still holding her close. She wished she could see him properly, read the look in his eyes dark in the darkness.
"This is not what I thought," he whispered, "not what I expected."
He felt her body tense at his words and said hastily, "No! No, I didn't mean what you think. You are everything I want, all I long for! It's just that I had imagined this would lay things to rest; allow us to acknowledge something that is between us, and let it have its moment. I thought it might make it easier to relinquish it and give it back to God. But it doesn't feel like that now.
"Now that I am holding you I want never to have to let you go. I want us to share a bed and make love together, but I want us to share a home and make a life together too. I want time to discover all the things I don't know about you yet. I want to watch you washing at the sink in the morning as the sun comes streaming in through the open door. I want to watch you brushing your hair. I want to find you kneading dough for our loaf at the table when I come in with the firewood for our hearth. I want you to teach me about herbs and how to grow them."
"Brother Walafrid could teach you about that," she murmured.
"Yes, I know," he whispered, "but I don't feel the same about Brother Walafrid as I do about you."
She had rested her head against the hollow beneath his collar bone as she listened to these words. She heard the smile in his voice, and he bent his head to kiss the top of hers.
"When I entered monastic life," he said, in the quietest undertone, "it was for pragmatic reasons—I had no money, was the thing: and that's what keeps me there still; no money. I've heard men talk about vocation often enough, but I couldn't feel my way to it—didn't really know what they meant. I have never had a sense of vocation; until now.
"Now, all of me wants to be with all of you forever. Now I know what vocation is. But I am fifty years old, and I have no trade and no family. There is nothing I can offer you, and there is nowhere for us to go—even supposing you want me too.
"You asked me if this was honest. It's probably the most honest thing I've ever done in my life. I know it's beyond reach. If I come back here again, someone will see, it will be discovered somehow—these things always are; but I thought I could risk just this one time. And I can offer nothing more. You and I both, we depend on the charity of the community to house us; there are no other choices. Like the poor everywhere, we have no rights and no options. But one night, for pity's sake, just one night! And it's not even a night; only a miserly hour between the night office and Prime. But after this, you must not watch for me nor wait for me, for I shall not be able to come to you—not ever again; but, oh my darling, remember me, remember this hour we had. If you get a chance of happiness with someone else, take it with both hands, I shall not be jealous. And deceiving John? Up to a point. I won't tell him, and I won't let him see. But I wouldn't lie to him, and I won't pursue this. It's just that I couldn't have lived the rest of my life starving to hold you for one time close to me. Maybe it is stolen. Yes—it is. But a starving man will snatch a crust of bread because it is life to him.

Demon Hunter Frontman Ryan Clark Gets Graphic on New Album
Ryan Clark is long known for his work fronting Seattle-based Christian metal band Demon Hunter, but he's also a professional graphic designer. As it turns out, Clark has worked in the visual arts for as long as he's been screaming and singing with the Hunter. That eye for graphic design came in handy when envisioning the artwork for Demon Hunter's upcoming full-length, 'True Defiance,' out April 10.
"Well, I'm as much a visual artist as I am a musician," Clark told Skulls N Bones when asked about Demon Hunter's always-killer album art. "I've been a professional graphic designer for over 11 years, and I've been heavily involved in some form of visual arts as far back as I can remember. From day one, the aesthetic element of the band has been an absolute priority -- it's a priority in anything I do, but the band is a great platform for it."
Clark continued, "I think image is an important counterpart to any piece of music, whether that's through a music video, album package, photo shoot, stage performance, etc. It helps to expand the story. I will never understand musicians that care about the music alone and neglect every other opportunity to be artistic."
Demon Hunter are getting fans pumped for 'True Defiance' by releasing various video updates from the studio. The latest clip features the band working on guitars and vocals for the upcoming album. Check out Demon Hunter's fourth video update from the studio below!

Dartmouth Takes Holistic Approach In Triaging IP
BioWorld Today
August 8, 2013
Hoping to stanch the red ink spewing forth from the double-edge sword of the Bayh-Dole Act, several research universities are looking for better ways to triage the value of their faculty's scientific and technological discoveries.
Ever since Congress passed Bayh-Dole more than 30 years ago, giving universities the right to patent and license research funded by federal dollars, schools have been setting up tech transfer programs all over the country.
But most of the programs are hemorrhaging money, as they're spending more on patenting and licensing worthless intellectual property (IP) than they're taking in through royalties, Tillman Gerngross, the newly appointed associate provost of Entrepreneurship & Technology Transfer at Dartmouth, told BioWorld Today.
Tired of risking the health of their tech transfer programs, universities need a new prescription for investing in research that has real value to drugmakers and other industries. Dartmouth, for instance, is taking a holistic approach that rewards its researchers and encourages them to turn their innovative ideas into applications that will truly impact people.

Olyverynken 's Keysers (d. 1573)
Olyverynken 's Keysers, an Anabaptist martyr, was burned at the stake with Martinken Meere and Janneken Dhanins on 19 August 1573 at Ghent, Belgium. Olyverynken was a daughter of Joos van Deinze and a sister of Marie 's Keysers, who died in prison at Ghent on 13 May 1573. During the execution of Olyverynken and her co-martyrs, who were gagged to prevent their speaking to the bystanders, an insurrection arose, when the soldiers tried to drive the crowd, which was in sympathy with the victims, from the Vrijdagsmarkt.

CKE Restaurants Continues Texas Expansion With Deals For 31 Carl's Jr. Units
Jan 12, 2010
CARPINTERIA, California - January 12, 2010 - CKE Restaurants, Inc.

The second franchisee, Burger Barons, has agreed to open 11 units throughout the Waco, Killeen, Temple, College Station and Bryan, Texas communities. Both franchisees are new members of the Carl's Jr. franchise community.
"Texas continues to be a priority for CKE's expansion and we are proud to have two strong franchise entities join us in the Lone Star state," said Andrew F. Puzder, CEO, CKE Restaurants, Inc.

Carl's Jr. has seen significant expansion in Texas over the past year for both the franchise community and the Company. There are currently 34 Carl's Jr. restaurants open in Texas (27 franchised, 7 company-owned), with an additional 352 units (252 franchise, 100 company) planned over the coming decade. On average, a new Carl's Jr. restaurant employs 70 full- and part-time crew members, translating to more than 24,000 new jobs.

Burger Barons, based in Austin, Texas, is owned by Monica and Mark von Waaden and Keith Isbell. They are current franchisees of 10 Panera Bread restaurants in Houston.
"Burger Barons is proud to be joining the Carl's Jr. brand," said Mark von Waaden. "We feel their legacy of great burgers will resonate well with the great State of Texas."

9 Tips to Faking a Toned Body
Fool everyone into thinking you have a great body (until your workouts pay off) with these expert health and beauty tips
Are we suggesting the best way to fight body fat is with foolery? No, of course not. Can we all sympathize with having a hectic agenda that doesn't always allow us to pump iron on a regularly scheduled program? Why yes, of course we can. Should our less-than-perfect time-management skills or love of Pinkberry be punishable by thicker thighs or a belly pouch when swimsuit season is upon us or we have a wedding to attend? Well, that depends on whom you're asking. We happen to think not, so in an effort to comfort you (and admittedly ourselves), we went to the top experts in health and beauty to get the secrets to shedding excess bloat (fast!) and making your body look more toned with beauty tricks.
Here's who we called on: Makeup artist Landy Dean and hairstylist Katie Seguin from the Marie Robinson Salon in New York City, celebrity fitness and lifestyle expert Ashley Borden, and tanning expert to the stars Jimmy Coco, for proven ways to make your face and body appear like you didn't cancel your last two personal training appointments. Don't be confused, this is NOT the lazy girl's guide to getting a better body, meaning, you'll still need to hit the gym and eat sensibly to get into great shape. These tips won't magically turn you into Giselle BUT your body will look more toned after exploring these health and beauty tips to feign a better body -- think of them as smoke and mirrors.

Physical Activity Prevents Loss of Mobility in Older Adults
PITTSBURGH, PA.– A 20-minute brisk walk around the neighborhood each day could significantly help older adults maintain their ability to walk, according to the results of the longest-running randomized clinical trial evaluating physical activity in the elderly.
The University of Pittsburgh was one of eight field centers that recruited and monitored trial participants. The much-anticipated findings were presented today at the annual meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine in Orlando and concurrently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. This study was funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
"Doctors have long suspected that maintaining or starting physical activity is important in promoting good health as we age," said Anne Newman, M.D., M.P.H., principal investigator on the study and chair of Pitt Graduate School of Public Health's Department of Epidemiology. "But until this study, we didn't have the proof necessary to say that daily exercise, sustained over several years, truly can prevent loss of mobility. Doctors can now feel confident that moderate physical activity improves the independence and mobility of older adults."
Dr. Newman and her fellow investigators, coordinated by Marco Pahor, M.D., director of the University of Florida's Institute on Aging, obtained those results through the Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders, or LIFE study. This study recruited and followed 1,635 sedentary men and women — 216 from Pittsburgh — aged 70 to 89.
Dr. Newman, a geriatrician, supervised the Pittsburgh arm of the LIFE study. For the national study, she chaired the ancillary studies review committee and wrote the outcome procedures for cardiovascular events and the procedures for participant medical clearance at enrollment and for return after illness.
The study showed that prescribed daily physical activity would prevent older adults' loss of mobility, defined in the study as the inability to walk 400 meters, or about a quarter of a mile. That is approximately equal to a trip from a parked car to a grocery store or a walk through a neighborhood.
Moderate physical activity helped aging adults maintain their ability to walk at a rate 18 percent higher than older adults who did not exercise. It also resulted in a 28 percent reduction in people permanently losing the ability to walk easily.
"This large impact on reducing persistent disability is important," said Dr. Newman. "Beyond simply maintaining mobility, this shows that we can repair a deficit through physical activity."
When recruited to the study, participants could walk a quarter mile within 15 minutes, but were at risk for losing that ability. Low physical performance can be a predictor of early death and higher hospitalization rates. Patients with low physical performance are not often recruited to large studies, making it difficult to give research-backed medical recommendations.
"These are people who are patients we see every day. This is why this study is so important: It includes a population that is typically understudied," said Dr. Pahor.
The participants were randomly sorted into two groups. For two years, the first group walked 150 minutes per week and did strength, flexibility and balance training. Twice each week, they visited field centers, which kept them on track with their exercise. The second group attended health education classes and performed stretching exercises. This phase of the study occurred between February 2010 and December 2013.
Research technicians assessed study participants every six months, checking their ability to walk, their body weight, blood pressure and pulse rate, among other measurements. The staff was not told which participants were assigned to physical activity or to the education classes.
At Pitt, nearly two dozen researchers, students, technicians, nurses and exercise physiologists ensured the trial and data collection ran smoothly. All eight field centers regularly communicated with one another to share tips for encouraging participants to stay in the study.
The researchers noted that there is still a vast amount of data available from the study that needs to be analyzed, including looking at the effects of physical activity on the participants' cognitive function. The research team also plans to determine how physical activity affected the participants' physiological, social and biologic factors.
In addition to Pitt and the University of Florida, LIFE study field centers include Northwestern University, Pennington Biomedical Research Center,Stanford University, Tufts University, Wake Forest University and Yale University.

Peter says: This is "Mesh" a back to basics disc type analogue watch.
The inspiration for this concept is the old "mysteron" UFOs from the "Captain Scarlett" animated tv show from yesteryear. The UFO spun as it flew and had a metallic wire frame look to it which really caught the light. I have tried to get a similar feel without being too literal.
