Tom Robinson
loose forward, Blues
Plus: Gets around the paddock and has a good turn of pace. Hits very hard and goes deep into the well to be a force throughout the game.
Minus: Is it just the red hair which gets him noticed? Big body but gets in the way a bit too often. Too raw for the next step.
TJ Faiane
centre, Blues
Plus: Just continuing on from the excellent form he showed for Auckland last year. Runs good lines and solid on defence.
Minus: About as much flair as a meeting of the governance and administration select committee. Improved by the players around him.
Wes Goosen
winger, Hurricanes
Plus: Taken every chance which has come along. A pocket rocket who has been a handful for every opponent this season.
Minus: Too small, perhaps. Struggles to get game time in a backline packed with talent.
Luke Jacobson
loose forward, Chiefs
Plus: Dominated a couple of New Zealand derbies. Big and tough and never takes a backward step. Has outplayed some worthy opponents.
Minus: Playing in a poor team so easy to stand out. No-one knows what is his best position. Could be a tweener.
Ben Lam
winger, Hurricanes
Plus: Dangerous player who knows his way to the tryline, very quick and hard to stop.
Minus: There are plenty like him around and some have the runs on the board. Not the world's greatest defender.
Sevu Reece
winger, Crusaders
Plus: Electric and very hard to keep out of a game. Knows how to score tries and is dynamic with ball in hand.
Minus: Not played much at all. Great going forward but one of many who went missing when the Sharks came calling. Do we need another Crusader in the All Blacks?
Josh Ioane
first five-eighth, Highlanders
Plus: Running the cutter well for the Highlanders, calmness under pressure and taking many good options.
Minus: Had a couple of average games, still learning his craft, would be like making Hamish Walker the prime minister.
Augustine Pulu
halfback, Blues
Plus: Tenacious and hard working, good for a scrap.
Minus: Poor option taking, far too greedy, slipped way off the radar
Solomon Ailaimalo
outside back, Chiefs
Plus: Quick and agile, strong runner and good finisher
Minus: Ball seems to be passing him by, set back by niggly injuries, playing in a poor side.
Atu Moli
prop, Chiefs
Plus: Massive front rower who has skills and a real desire. Has huge potential.
Minus: Always injured, cannot string a series of games together.
Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi
halfback, Chiefs
Plus: Nice pass and does everything that is asked of him.
Minus: Cannot get a game, sat behind skipper, hard to press claims with 10 minutes at the end if lucky.
Brett Cameron
first five-eighth, Crusaders
Plus: Looked good for Canterbury last year.
Minus: Fluffed his one line in poor effort against Waratahs and not sighted since. Another biased Canterbury selection from last year.
Gareth Evans
loose forward, Hurricanes
Plus: An X-factor player who can do plenty of things on the field.
Minus: Has not been sighted because of calf injury, may be out of the running.
Nehe Milner-Skudder
winger, Hurricanes
On his day one of the best wingers in world rugby.
Minus: That day was four years ago. Injured too often.
Liam Squire
loose forward, Highlanders
Plus: On his game and firing then look out, can be devastating on attack and defence.
Minus: Not played all season, missing in action.
Waisake Naholo
winger, Highlanders
Plus: Quick and always scoring tries when in form.
Minus: If you are only as good as your last game then this guy is no chance.

Using centuries-old traditions, where colour powder was first thrown as part of Holi festivities, we have developed a unique range of bright and vivid colour powders. We have departed from this tradition is that we have used our ISO9001 certified factory in Mumbai, India to produce a uniquely non-flammable version of the traditional colour powder.
We took the decision to create a non-flammable colour powder as we were seeing an increasing desire amongst our customers to party safely. With some sources of colour powder not using certified facilities, we thought the time was right to introduce the Ministry of Colours products into the market.
As well as being non-flammable our colour powder is non-toxic, made using natural ingredients. It also doesn't stain if used correctly. We have generated a Colour Powder Info Sheet for those that are interested in safety and cleaning details. It is available to download here. Please browse our range of exciting and unique colour powder products. www.ministryofcolours.co.uk
If you are planning on hosting a colour run event or you want to raise money for a specific charity, there are a few necessary items to take along with you.
Firstly, as you hope to raise as much money as possible, you are going to need a method of collecting it. Our charity collection buckets are great forgathering large amounts of donations. They can be personalised using labels and stickers representing your chosen charity. All buckets are tamper proof and sturdy.
You're also going to require extra fundraising supplies to help your campaign be a successful one. Stickers and collection boxes can all be purchased from us – along with other products and ideas for different charity events. Why not sell tutus, sunglasses and even t-shirts to maximise your fundraising.
Colour Runs are a great fundraising event, combining charity awareness and donation collecting with fun and enjoyment for all ages. Please get in touch for more details.

Because Saturn and Jupiter will be at the same degree for most of August (and in quite close range, otherwise), I thought I'd share this list of days according to the Moon's transits to these two 'social planets', including a few other heavenly motions of note, such as ingresses and certain planetary aspects calling for [my] attention.
One curiosity I'm interested in is the connection between two planets that are in signs right next to each other. In such a configuration, they do not make a traditional aspect to one another (conjunction, sextile, square, or opposition). They are, however, aspected simultaneously by other bodies when in this configuration (provided they are within orb). That is to say, while they don't technically make a traditional aspect, they *can* seem to act in tandem as if they *were* in aspect. In a natal chart, this helps explain why people note certain dynamics between two such planets, referring to their relationship as semi-sextile, for example, or inconjunct (this may not explain other aspects of interest, but that's not really the main point of what I'm doing here, anyway).
The major portion of my interest is simply the relationship between Jupiter and Saturn. I'm gaining an interest in their interplay as I develop some work with some other Astrologers. In addition, this year has been pretty wild with the difference between stodgy Saturn in earthy Capricorn and flighty Jupiter in silly Sagittarius (we all know there are a million other ways to look at these two placements—I'm just having fun, here)!
I've noticed the stark difference between these two energies and how we've been pushed and pulled between them all year as the planets—especially the moon—make their rounds and highlight one, then the other, of these axes. It's extra noticeable with the nodes and Pluto involved in the Cardinal signs and BOTH Jupiter and Saturn experiencing retrogrades!!
It has seemed to me (in so many of my chart consultations) that while we've had expansive Jupiter in Sagittarius as a counterpoint to serious Saturn in Capricorn, we've also had Jupiter retrograde for much of the year! I've seen this transit show up the most in my readings as the thing that is 'bothering' people. It makes me wonder if it's largely because this *thing* (whatever it is- different for everybody!) that is *supposed to be* all expansive and fun is showing up as taking f o r e v e r to come to fruition and making people wonder if there is *really* anything to hope for at all! I've been advising folks to hang in there, using the 'wait time' to just relax and enjoy the downtime before the flurry or to turn inward to find out what it is we truly believe, what we truly hope for. When Jupiter stations direct, it's going to fly right outta Sagittarius and move on into Capricorn, changing the whole feel of everything! Then, the two will get closer and closer until they conjoin… But that's a story for another time. (Stay tuned!)
So, now that Jupiter is getting ready to station direct and hanging out at the same degree as Saturn for most of the month, I thought I'd walk us through the moon's transits to them both. I've included a few other movements in the cosmos that seem noteworthy to me. I hope you find all of this astronerdery helpful in some way! If you have any comments or questions, please comment below or send me a message. Also: if you want daily updates on these forecasts, follow me on Instagram and watch my stories!
Big blessings to you!
The Rest of August: The Moon's aspects to Saturn & Jupiter (*plus bonuses!)
The Moon is making it's monthly visit to Jupiter's sign, bringing extra light to the fun-that-is-on-hold. Perhaps Venus trine Jupiter will bring us some fun, eh? Woo-hoo!
Moon still in Sagittarius - Friday, August 9th - Moon conjunct Jupiter!!
Here it is! Moon conjunct Jupiter! Depending on where Sagittarius is in your chart, you might expect an uplifting feeling today concerning that part of life.
Moon in Capricorn - Sunday, August 11th - Jupiter Stations Direct at 14 Sagittarius! (Mercury enters Leo & Uranus stations Retrograde at 7 Taurus)
The long period of making-sure is finally coming to an end. Whatever has been on hold for you all summer long may now start moving forward! Possibly with what feels like great speed!
Moon still in Capricorn - Monday, August 12th - Moon conjunct Saturn! (& Moon conjunct Pluto!)
Oh, dear- today may be a good day to stay in and clean! Or lay low and plan? Or stay in bed and watch a movie while eating [healthy] ice cream? Hmmm… Whatever you do, make sure you have all the provisions you need. And, then, go deep with whatever it is.
Moon in Aquarius - Tuesday, August 13th - (Sun conjoins Venus)
A marking point in the Venus-Sun cycle. Venus passes the Sun on her way to becoming an Evening Star (not visible until October). See if you begin to notice a shift in Venus themes: beauty, pleasure, connection, attraction, social life. It's possible these things may be less prominent while Venus is 'invisible' (too close to the Sun to be seen). Take note!
Moon still in Aquarius - Wednesday, August 14th - Moon sextile Jupiter
The waxing Moon in flowing aspect to the 'Greater Benefic' *must* be a good thing, right?
Moon even still in Aquarius - Thursday, August 15th - FULL Moon at 22 degrees Aquarius (Moon opposite Sun, Moon opposite Venus, Moon opposite Mars!)
Full moon vibes today! So: the usual Full Moon stuff; 'lunacy' all around!? ;) The Moon also opposes Venus AND Mars just after the Sun, so it could bring up some relationship stuff.
Moon in Pisces - Saturday, August 17th - Moon square Jupiter & Moon sextile Saturn (Moon conjunct Neptune & Mars enters Virgo)
Aha! Here is an opportunity to see the 'semi-sextile' factor in action! The moon will square Jupiter AND sextile Saturn at essentially the same time. See if you note a sense of push & pull, or perhaps expansion & contraction, or freedom & structure operating together. Let me know!
In addition, the Moon conjoins Neptune for a foggy, idealistic flavor while Mars enters Virgo, relieving us of some of the ongoing Leo fire! Mars in Virgo is here to act efficiently. Perhaps you organize your desktop or email or get a bunch of minutiae done and off your plate!
Moon in Aries - Monday, August 19th - Moon square Saturn & Moon trine Jupiter
Aha, again! Here, we have the reverse 'semi-sextile' factor with the Moon squaring Saturn this time as it trines Jupiter. Similar themes as the 17th, but somehow inverse? Again- please do, in all seriousness, let me know what you notice on these two days! Your reports are valuable input.
Moon in Taurus - Wednesday, August 21st - (Venus enters Virgo) (Moon conjoins Uranus)
Now Venus leaves Leo to join Mars in Virgo. Venus in Virgo loves the pretty little details (& may feel the need to improve upon the not-so-pretty). Self-hygiene may kick in here. Eyebrow-plucking and mending of garments. Subtle-yet-on-point accessories show up. Thank you notes (that feels a little more Libra to me, actually, but whatever the Virgo's version of a thank you note is… Thank you texts? A kind nod?).
In addition, the moon conjoins Uranus, reminding us of the Taurean flavor of Uranus' eccentricities. Uranus is now retrograde, so this may highlight something that has already showed up, in case you missed it the first time. ;) Also: Now that Venus is in Virgo, we will be seeing some trines between Uranus and the ruler of the sing it is in, which happens to be a benefic in a helpful aspect. So, whatever was giving you trouble here may see itself smoothing out just a tad. One can hope!
Moon still in Taurus - Thursday, August 22nd - Moon trine Saturn
Here we have a highlight of the Moon trine Saturn without a contact to Jupiter. With both planets in earth signs, it seems possible that earthly matters may find an avenue for completion. Whatever Saturn has been asking of you (structure, discipline, shedding, maturity) may see a boost today.
Moon in Gemini - Friday, August 23rd - (Sun enters Virgo)
Ah! Now the Sun joins Mars and Venus in Virgo. Attention turns to harvest, studies, and suggestions of preparations for winter start emerging on our to-do lists. We arrange work parties and the like. Help friends clear out their closets or get some canning done. :)
*from here into September, Jupiter stays at 15, while Saturn retrogrades back to the 14th degree, where it will station direct on September 18th*
Moon still in Gemini - Saturday, August 24th - Moon opposite Jupiter (Venus conjunct Mars)
Here, the aspects from the Moon to Jupiter and Saturn start separating a bit. We have an opposition to Jupiter today and an opposition to Saturn tomorrow. Each day may bring a different quality, then, today may highlight a tension around Jupiterean themes: beliefs, expansion, generosity or good luck, publishing of some kind, etc.
In addition, Venus joins Mars in Virgo. Is it time for a critical analysis of our relationship/s? Perhaps it is!
Moon in Cancer - Monday, August 26th - (Venus trine Uranus) Moon opposite Saturn
Today, we get the Saturnian tension with the moon; a snag in our projects? Or a moment of reflection on just *how* is this long-term plan going to work? Some disappointment in our placement at school or work (or other organization/institution)? I'd love to hear your experience!
In addition, we had Venus trine Uranus, as I mentioned on Wednesday, August 21st. Here's that opportunity for smoothing out whatever destabilizing effect Uranus may have presented to you on it's first pass across the 6th degree of Taurus. It's a brief transit, so take advantage!
Moon still in Cancer - Tuesday, August 27th - (Moon opposite Pluto)
And, just for a *bonus* we get the Moon opposite Pluto today. Perhaps our feelings about our situation brought to light yesterday take a dive and we have an opportunity to *really* work them out. Today might be a good day to find some alone time. Even a few minutes of intentional solo time can be quite restorative.
Moon in Leo - Thursday, August 29th - (Mercury enters Virgo)
Finally, Mercury vacates Leo, closing the chapter on the sign for this year (aside from the Moon's monthly visits, of course)! Now, we can really get down to business on those to-do lists!
Moon still in Leo-no-wait-then-it's-Virgo - Friday, August 30th - New Moon in Virgo at 6 degrees AND: (Moon trine Uranus) (Moon conjunct Sun) (Moon conjunct Mars) Moon trine Saturn & Moon square Jupiter (Moon opposite Neptune) I mean- what *isn't* the Moon doing today?!
It's a whole new world and the Moon wants to make sure we know it! From the voracious fires of Leo to the grounding possibilities of Virgo, this New Moon brings this elemental shift to the fore! We have earth conjunctions and trines galore (with only one square to Jupiter in sparky Sagittarius). From here on out (for the rest of this year and far into next), expect a lot of earth energy. It is time to get busy—in a practical way.
Moon still in Virgo - Saturday, August 31st - (Moon trine Pluto)
Oh, yes, and here's a deep, earthy bonus (lest we forget the Lord of the Underworld is still there in not-so-capricious Capricorn)! We get a trine from the Moon to Pluto, perhaps making sense of those deeper emotions we felt last week when the Moon opposed Pluto. What have you learned?
Well, that's it for August!
Happy September!

Cary Fukunaga, who was once Warner Bros.' pick for directing 2017's It, has finally opened up about his reasons for leaving the film.
Originally reported as "creative reasons," Fukunaga detailed in an interview with GQ the studio feared it could not control him.
RELATED: First Look at Emma Stone and Jonah Hill in Netflix's Maniac
Fukunaga connected his time working on the adaptation of Stephen King's 1986 opus to his time directing Season 1 of HBO's True Detective. Fukunaga recalled working with showrunner Nic Pizzolatto, advocating for the six-minute-long take that eventually came to define the show, compromising and defending his directorial decisions in equal measure. It was precisely this sort of push and pull that led the studio to fear for their ability to control the project, but Fukunaga didn't fully buy that reasoning.
"No, they thought they couldn't control me," Fukunaga said. "I would have been a total collaborator. That was the kind of ridiculous part. It was just more a perception. I have never seen a note and been like, fuck you guys. No way. It's always been a conversation."
He wasn't done relating his projects to one another, using 2014's Netflix film Beasts of No Nation to showcase his ability to compromise, which makes his departure from It all the more heartbreaking.
"I don't think I've ever been able to make something uncompromising," he said. "Like, someone commented on Beasts, 'Oh, how did it feel to make a movie that's uncompromising?' Like, uncompromising? I had to rewrite my entire third act 'cause we didn't have the money to finish the film. We compromise all over the place."
Given what we've heard regarding Fukunaga's vision for It, he probably would have had to compromise all over the place. His first drafts deviated heavily from King's novel and contained heavily sexual subtexts, and it's hard to imagine Warner Bros. signing off on those decisions.
Nevertheless, Andy Muschietti's final product was highly successful and harkened back to an age where mainstream horror really connected with audiences. It went on to be the highest-grossing horror film of all time, with an impressive $700 million worldwide box office haul.
RELATED: It: Chapter 2 - Losers' Club is All Grown Up in New Set Photo
It: Chapter 2, from director Andy Muscietti, will release in September 2019, and Cary Fukunaga's dark comedy Maniac, starring Jonah Hill and Emma Stone, will hit Netflix on September 21, 2018.

Soundproof walls always carry connotations of sound, ironically enough. Soundproof walls bring to mind screams, and cries, and shouts for help- this is what he think, anyway, when the nurse tells him, beaming, that his walls are soundproof. And he nods, and sits down on the bed, and listens, and doesn't hear any screams.

He wasn't looking where he was going. His eyes were closed. He couldn't hear my warning, his headphones were too good. And that's why. Just that. No other reason, no matter what anyone tells you. That's the real truth. The real fault lies with me.

A choice is made

Who? Who? Who? Who?

He is no longer covered by the sheet, it has been kicked off and balled in the corner of his big boy bed. his curly blond hair is matted to his face and his feet are tucked up under him. His mother bends over and tenderly pulls the sheet back into place.

The side of the couch is rough, like stone. I can't see your face but I know your sitting there, in the dark. I can see the glowing end of your cigarette. I reach out my hand and touch your cheek. Your face is warn and bumpy. You haven't shaved in weeks.

cracked lips running
over a dry tongue
bending folding
caught somewhere between reality
a night mare
shapes jumping and
feathers floating
and still more
sun on your back and
suddenly nothing

the word is passed
from pink lip to ear
a coffee stained promise
to be known forever
as dear
and the songs they are sung
and the words they are spoken
but no matter how sad
to me you'll never be broken

It was my salvation, on that hot steamy day, to find an ice cold bottle of lemonade. It was glass, like they used to make all bottles, and it had drips of ice rolling down the side. I sat in the shade and sipped it. For once not caring that I only had seven days to live.

The cover was dusty and filled with plastic girls, all covered in make up. They had painted on faces that I imagined would wash away in the slightest rain leaving them with blank empty canvases, nothings, just like everyone else.

My alarm clock never jolts me out of bed. My cellphone's little jingle won't bother me. Fire bells, steam whistles, nothing will strike fear into my heart.
Except for the thunderclap, the one thing that causes alarm. You knew this, and yet, you let me cry alone in the house during the storm.

Peaceful, in the red haze and pools of chemicals. An accidental ray of light could massacre potential masterpieces, but the diligent photographer would never let that happen. Couldn't let that happen. It's bright and alive out there, where one's camera can capture the world and reveal it to unsuspecting eyes, but confined in the darkroom… That is where a photographer's soul belongs.

Fun little creek in Athens. Starts off with a few small ledges. When you see a steel bridge the gradient picks up, dropping about 30 feet in the next 0.3 miles. After about 100 yards of shoals in this section, there is a horizon line. This is a double slide drop. Scout from river left. River left is on private property so act accordingly. Main line is river right though there are other good lines at higher flows.
The double drop is followed by a long flat section. Below the confluence with McNutts Creek, which comes in from the left, get ready to scout a dam that can be anywhere from 1 foot to 8 feet high. The dam can create a powerful low-head hydraulic. 2 boys fell in here and drowned in the hydraulic in the summer of 2018. There is an easy portage on river right. The dam is runnable but should be only done so with rescue gear set in position. Running this dam is not worth the risk unless you can comprehend how dangerous it is and are able to dissect where to run it.
Tell us about this gauge by leaving a comment.
Permits are not required for this reach.
Put in at Daniels Bridge Road. There is room to park a couple of cars on river right, downstream side of the bridge. Cross the road to the upstream side of the bridge and walk to the creek on river right. This may be private property so act accordingly.
Takeout is after the dam, river right under the Macon Hwy bridge. Walk up to the road on a paved drainage ditch downstream of the bridge. It seems to be OK to park in the Mama's Boy parking lot.

Absolutely love! I have been getting this perfume for 5 years and everyone asks me what perfume am I wearing. It is unique, it's not overpowering and I can't believe the price. The only problem is I just received a new bottle and I think the manufacturer changed the scent. If that's the case I'm very dissatisfied with it. Please bring back the original Nichole Ritchie Perfume because it was outstanding and had a beautiful subtle yet powerful smell.
Written by Anonymous on February 09, 2019
Nicole by Nicole Richie is a different scent. It is oriental/Spicy/woodsy more spicy than anything. It is pretty strong at first but when it dries down it is actually pretty nice. You do not have to spray this too many times for others to smell it. It lasts too. (Definitely am your clothes)

Quantum Brewing Company
5375 Kearny Villa Road, Kearny Mesa
One of the best things about the San Diego brewing scene is the fact that most of its players opt to regard each other as comrades versus competitors. Sure, they produce similar products and vie for the attention and dollars of beer drinkers, but it's one of the least volatile business environments around. Working together and taking pride in the growth of the region's reputation en masse is a big part of why San Diego has become known to most as the country's foremost locale for craft beer. And it turns out that collaborative spirit is contagious, because the week before last, I met a fellow San Diego beer writer at Quantum Brewery (5375 Kearny Villa Road, #116, Kearny Mesa) to check the place out and review their wares.
It might have felt awkward, spending one-on-one time with a competitor, especially since the writer in question was Ian Cheesman, the beer scribe for The San Diego Reader's direct opponent, San Diego CityBeat, but we go way back. We met before either of us wrote for either of the aforementioned publications and have since been fans of each other's work. I think he's the funniest writer I've ever met and, per his published comments, he's a fan of my "beautifully coiffed" hair. Throw in the fact we can spend hours playing off one another's quips and questionably hilarious lead-ins, and enjoying beer with him is always a pleasure. But it's more cerebral than I'm letting on. We take what we do seriously and respect this town's brewers, making it almost a wonder we've never tag-teamed a review before.
Quantum has been open for a few months. Some of the more active brewery tourists I know visited it during the earliest days of its soft-open period. After that, some people told me the business was closed when they went to check it out, ostensibly so the tasting room could be finished. However, per comments extracted from my book, the Complete Guide to San Diego Breweries, they speculated the closure was probably to "improve the beers." Still, I was hopeful coming into this experience. Especially after receiving a warm welcome from a delightful bar attendant who maintained an exemplary level of attentiveness over the entire tasting room for the two-plus hours we were there. I remained in a positive mood following a first sip of Hadron Wheat Collider, a light-bodied Bavarian wheat with big banana character and some lemon tartness on the backend. Sadly, that was where the good times fell off from a beer perspective.
What followed was a taste-through of six beers with a lot in common, not much of it good. Most of Quantum's ales come across as watery. Even when trademark style flavors are present, such as with Pale's Constant Pale Ale, which has good citrus notes—they are wasted in a beer so flabby it can't convey them in a pleasurable manner. Ditto aroma. A session IPA dubbed Chain Reaction smells like a million bucks with aromas of tropical fruits galore wafting from the golden quaff, but that belies what awaits beneath the surface of this thin, bitter number that's not the all-night sipper any beer drinker's looking for. If anything, it illustrates why session IPAs are so hard to get right. On the double IPA front, the 9.19% ABV Project 919 exhibits all kinds of caramel flavors and maybe a bit of mango, but it tastes more like root vegetables than fruit or pine.
Better than the rest was a stout called Singularity that was still very thin, but at least offered flavors expected from the style. Even subdued, they were more welcome than what was offered by the hoppier stock. But that wasn't the only good thing that came from my visit to Quantum. Like I said before, the service was outstanding. Also, there's a chalkboard wall people are allowed to apply their personal brands of graffiti to. Cheesman and I went with IC+BH=HEART2+BEER. OK, so maybe our senses of humor aren't as mature as I originally implied. But my cohort proved his intelligence, going off into a rant about how boron (the name of Quantum's brown ale) is elementally atomic whereas quantum effects are subatomic. As you might have guessed, this was where I decided it was best if we parted ways. I'm OK sharing conversation over a topic I understand — beer — but not up for pretending to any degree that I understand this heady (and kind of boring) subject matter.
But I doubt it's the last time we'll collectively tackle the sampling of a brewery's beers. I've always made it a practice to bring others along to help ensure that I don't get anything wrong or lean too heavily toward my personal tastes. Doing so with a colleague was quite enjoyable. And the best part is now I get to check out his account of the day. I hope he spells my name right…and avoids talking about the whole "boron thing."

Famines and Public Distribution System in India
July 2, 2015
By Debarshi Das
India's Tryst with Famines
Starvation and famine are not new in India. Before the arrival of colonialism, there had been scarcities due to droughts, floods, locust attacks. But they would seldom turn into a generalised phenomenon which spread across regions. With the coming of the colonial rule things changed. Consider the following pieces of statistics.
If we take four major famines which occurred between 1757 to 1947, the total death toll was between 25.2 million to 44.3 million (estimates of death vary because different researchers have come up with different figures). These four famines are,
- 1769-70, affected present day West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Bangladesh. Death toll: 10 million, about a third of the population of the Bengal province died.
- 1876-79, affected present day Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab. Death toll: 6.1 to 10.3 million.
- 1896-1902, affected present day Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhatisgarh, Odisha, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Karnataka, Telengana, Andhra Pradesh, Pakistan. Death toll: 6.1 to 19 million.
- 1943, affected present day West Bengal and Bangladesh. Death toll: 3 million.
These were only a few big ones. There have been numerous others. This series of devastations adversely affected productive capacity of the country and its demography. In the second half of the nineteenth century, which saw notable episodes of famines and epidemics, per capita income probably fell by more than 50%. In 1947 the yield of food grain in the Deccan region was between 50% to 67% of the 1870 level. Between 1872 to 1921 average life expectancy fell by 20%. In the thirty years between 1891 and 1921 India's population hardly grew from 282 million to 302 million.
Interestingly, at the same time, hectic activity was going on in international trade. Between 1840 and 1886 India's seaborne foreign trade volume increased eight times. Between 1875 to 1900 grain export increased from 3 million tons to 10 million tons. Around 1900 one-fifth of England's wheat consumption was imported from India. By 1867 Berar (present day Vidarbha) was supplying as much raw cotton to Manchester textile mills as the whole of Egypt. We shall return to this link between colonial trade and famines later.
The contrast between pre-colonial and colonial period is so sharp that one wonders what changed in between. Some of the reasons which may have been behind less famines in pre-colonial era are, firstly, the localised nature of the economy. There could be scarcity, and high price of grains, at a particular place. But it would not get transmitted to other places. Lack of transportation and trade links would ensure that although the epicentre of famine would bear the brunt of it, it would not spread.
The second reason had to do with the administration. There were instances when the tax the ryot was liable to pay depended on the amount of harvest. Thus the ruler would partially share the damage of the harvest failure suffered by the ryot. When the harvest is bad tax would go down too. Local tax collectors would have discretionary powers. To encourage irrigation, they would grant tax relief to farmers who spent money on constructing a well, let us say. There were other measures which Mughal rulers used to implement when famines would erupt: embargos on food exports, anti-speculative price regulation, tax relief and distribution of free food (without the beneficiary requiring to prove that she is a genuine victim).
The condition in the brackets above is noteworthy. Unlike the Mughals, the British administration, had a dim view about the natives' moral fibre. It was suspected that they were pretending to be starving and trying to pick her majesty's pocket [1]. To qualify for relief the victims would have to pass 'distance test' and perform hard labour. During the Deccan famine of 1870s, relief camps of the government were purposefully set up far away from villages. No adult male or older children who lived within a 10 mile radius of the camp could apply for relief. This meant that relief seekers would have to walk more than 10 miles to prove that they are not faking. Beneficiaries would be required to perform hard manual labour under the relentless famine sun. Fines would be deducted from their wage if the work failed to meet the standards specified by the government. These tests would filter out cheats, it was hoped. However, contemporary nationalists perceived them as insults. In Bombay Deccan farmers started 'relief strike' – a kind of passive resistance – refusal to take government handouts. The strike would be supported by the nascent middle class nationalists (Sarvajanik Sabha of Poona). But we are getting ahead of the story. Let us start from the famine of 1769-70.
Free to Starve
The famine of 1769-70 left an indelible mark on Bengal's popular culture. It is remembered as chhiyattorer manwantor: the famine of seventy six. Seventy six refers to the Bengali calendar year 1176, the year of the famine. Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay's novel Anandamath, which was to inspire Hindu nationalists for decades and which contains the Sanskrit-mixed Bengali poem Bande Matarang, was set in the backdrop of this famine and the religion-tinged rebellion it gave rise to. Like many famines in India, it was preceded by a drought. The fact that so many died, a third of the province population, points toward the existing fragile state of the rural economy. It also indicates the lack of response from government as the famine unfolded.
In 1765 the British East India Company had obtained the right to collect tax, the diwani, in Bengal. Eager to extract as much revenue as possible, the land tax rate was raised several times. Even at the height of famine in 1770, land tax rate was raised by 10%.
The goal to maximise revenue went hand in hand with the lack of initiative on the part of the administration to take corrective steps. Those steps increase expenditure, which defeats the very purpose of extracting revenue from the colony. This inaction would be repeated in subsequent famines that the country would suffer through.
Interestingly, academic support had been forthcoming in support of such apathy. Advocacy for free market was consistent with no government intervention. The argument is, when there is a shortage the government would do best to do nothing, and let the market work its wonders. If the government takes steps, such as fixing an upper limit to grain price, it would end up making matters worse. Sellers would be discouraged from selling when there is an upper limit of price. This would increase the dearth. An upper limit would also encourage buyers to consume more food and increase scarcity.
It is as if there exists a natural law whereby market functions. Any human intervention in the functioning of market (fixing upper price limit in this case) goes against the law and makes matters worse. Market should be made free, so that its invisible hand can ensure maximum welfare. Adam Smith, the discoverer of the hand and the father of modern economics, wrote in 1776 in The Wealth of Nations,
The drought in Bengal, a few years ago, might probably have occasioned a very great dearth. Some improper regulations, some injudicious restraints imposed by the servants of the East India Company upon the rice trade, contributed, perhaps, to turn that dearth into a famine.
Such a mechanical way of looking at the events of society, which is subject to many more complexities, is fraught with errors. For example, what if the speculators and hoarders are behind rising prices? If the government remains inactive would it not encourage them to hold back grains even more and make conditions worse? By the time they release grains and earn windfall profits, will not thousands have already perished? Will it not help if government takes a long run view and intervenes, such as by maintaining a stock of grains over time and releasing it when price rises? But these measures would require a bigger government spending, which is against the very purpose of colonial administration.
If Adam Smith's political economy treaties were eminently convenient, the Raj could also draw upon Thomas Malthus's teachings against helping the expendables. Such helps were, according to Malthus, against another natural law: that of food production growth and demographic growth. The following remark by Sir Evelyn Baring (then finance minister of British India) on the 1876-79 famine would have made Malthus proud: "[E]very benevolent attempt made to mitigate the effects of famine and defective sanitation serves but to enhance the evils resulting from overpopulation."
In short, two founding principles of the British Raj were behind the Bengal famine of 1769-70 and the procession of famines that would follow. First, extraction of maximum possible revenue from the colony, and second, non-intervention in the market when the famine starts taking its toll.
The two big famines of 1876-79 and 1896-1902 underline the point. Viceroy Lytton, busy arranging finance for the first Anglo-Afghan War (1878-1880), could not be bothered with trivialities such as famine relief. He issued orders to the effect that there is to be no interference of any kind on the part of the government with the object of reducing the price of food, and denounced "humanitarian hysterics" back home in England.
Sir Richard Temple, the lieutenant governor of Bengal, was sent to oversee the relief work in the Bihar and Bengal famine of 1873-74. Temple did his job well by importing a million ton grains from Burma and distributing it among the starving. Not surprisingly, Temple was chastised for profligacy. The Economist wondered how he could encourage the Indians to believe that it was the duty of the government to keep them alive. Top bureaucrats averred, it was a mistake to spend so much money to save a lot of black fellows. To give the poor chap another chance in 1877 viceroy Lytton sent him to Madras Presidency which was particularly hard hit.
Temple proved to be a quick learner. He enacted the distance test and hard work test which we discussed earlier. The relief camps also became infamous for "Temple ration". It contained half the quantity of food allotted to jail inmates of that time. Buchenwald Nazi concentration camp ration contained more calorie than Temple ration.
To shirk responsibility the colonial administration often blamed nature (besides scheming native elites and cheating famine victims). To be sure, natural phenomena do affect harvest and starvation. But famines take place in a society, and are affected by man-made factors. During the nineteenth century India rural economy was getting reengineered by the empire. Export-oriented farming was pushed through. Crops which served the British interest were promoted: Cotton, wheat, opium, indigo, etc. Exports rose sharply, but price fall in global market spelt disaster for farmers. Farming on which peasants depended for survival was pushed to less fertile land. Village commons, forests became out of bounds. When rain failed, government would not grant tax relief. Famines became more probable.
After Independence
Ironically, the foundation of food security system in India was laid by the British. But this is understandable, for it was war time. During the Second World War the colonial government required its industrial and military infrastructure to work without disruption. Workers engaged in those facilities had to be kept secure against price rise which became a certainty due to the war. In 1942 the primary structures of public distribution of food and other necessary items were erected in a few urban centres. That poor peasants and rural artisans starved to death in the streets of Calcutta where industrial workers were protected is a tragedy we shall skirt here.
The post-colonial State took PDS forward. The idea of PDS was in line with the semi-welfare State that Nehruvian socialism entailed. PDS protected the urban industrial proletariat against volatile food price. Such protection was helpful to the industrial capitalist as well: since PDS ensured that food bundle of the worker is protected the capitalist would not have to pay higher money wage when food price rose. The contradiction between worker and capitalist got negotiated through PDS.
The contradiction between village and town also got managed through PDS. The village sells grains to the town. Without PDS there is a direct contradiction between consumers (the town, industry) and producer (the village, agriculture). High price harms town, helps village; low prices does the opposite. Now consider PDS. The government buys grains from the farmer at a price called the procurement price. The grain is sold to consumers at a price called the issue price. The government can buy price at a high procurement price and sell it a low issue price. As there is a government in between, the contradiction between agriculture and industry gets mitigated.
But PDS, the shock absorber, itself came at a price. The gap between procurement and issue price has to be paid for. This gap constitutes food subsidy. It is an expenditure the government has to bear. As an expenditure item, PDS would have raised the hackles of the British Raj. Interestingly, it attracts criticisms from the present Raj, too. Before coming to that, let us look at the different stages PDS has travelled through since 1947.
- 1947–1960: PDS was taken beyond select cities. The country was majorly dependent on food import.
- 1960–1978: Organisational changes were brought in. A commission to oversee purchase from farmers was set up. Food Corporation of India was set up to store and transport grains. Green Revolution eased the supply of food grain.
- 1978–1991: Period of consolidation, PDS coverage was extended to all areas across the country.
- 1991-till date: Liberalisation of the economy transformed universal PDS to targeted PDS (TPDS) in 1997. Below-poverty-line (BPL) households became entitled to more grain, at less price, than above-poverty-line (APL) households. National Food Security Act (2013) rendered many households with no entitlement at all. This act proposed to start cash transfer in lieu of provision of food in kind.
It is undeniable that the food situation after Independence improved a great deal. Starvation deaths have reduced. But it has not been a smooth journey. Consecutive droughts in the mid-1960s pushed up food price and led to a phase of political turmoil throughout the country. The State responded by promoting a technology-centric solution to raise agricultural output: the Green Revolution. Green Revolution mitigated supply side difficulties. But it created problems of its own in terms of loss of land of smaller peasants. We also need to remember that high production of food does not guarantee that people are able to access it. They may be jobless, their income could be insufficient, food price may be too high. As an illustration, we can refer to the data of declining calorie intake in the recent years. The decline in per capita calorie is occurring at a calorie level which is appallingly low compared to the global standard. And at a time when India is exporting food! PDS could act as a corrective measure to bridge the gap between production of food and its availability to the poor. But the neoliberal State is set to dismantle it.
The neoliberal State seeks to cut down welfare expenditure, hence it is against PDS. It also relies on the market, which is why there is an advocacy to move to a system where money would be distributed to consumers which they would exchange for food in the market. Although contemporary advocates of free market are not motivated by extraction of colonial revenue, in terms of policy prescription they do not differ from the advocates of free market of colonial era.
Cash Transfer and Food Transfer
The critics of PDS have a powerful argument. In this system the government buys grains, transports them, stores them in godowns and distributes to consumer through an intricate system. The price which the consumer pays to the fair price shop (FPS) dealer is low compared to the market price of similar quality grain. The dealer, according to the critics, has an inbuilt incentive to be corrupt. She can divert the grain and sell it at a higher price in the open market. The consumer can be told a lie that grain has not arrived. The critics recommend a system where no grain is supplied. This would save a lot of money spent on buying, storing and transporting the grain. It would also eradicate corruption at the FPS level. The consumer is transferred cash directly by the government to buy food. It is argued that third world countries like Brazil (Bolsa Familia) and Mexico (Oportunidades) have been implementing successful cash transfer schemes. India should follow a world-wide trend rather than wasting money on a leaky corrupt system.
To bolster the case, data of high rate of stealing in PDS is cited. In 2004-05, for example, more than half of rice and wheat which the government released did not reach intended beneficiaries. That is, the "leakage" was more than 50%.
The arguments seem forceful. But, on closer examination many of them appear to be misplaced. Petty corruption and bureaucratic delay is common in India, which are adversely affecting the operation of PDS. Same troubles could resurface in distribution of cash as well. India has many government schemes where cash is distributed, for example, wage payment to the MGNREGS (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme) workers. For months, it has been found, many workers have not received their payments. There have been difficulties in opening bank accounts, through which the payment could be made. India's rural infrastructure is deficient. Power, banks, post offices are scarce. This deficiency works as a bottleneck in case of money transfer. For this reason, comparison with Brazil and Mexico is misplaced: both these countries have a high degree of urbanisation compared to India. Moreover, the acts of visiting a bank or post office to open an account or make a withdrawal can be alienating for people who cannot read or write. It is not surprising that in surveys it's found that most of the beneficiaries do not prefer cash transfer (except in states like Bihar where PDS functioned dismally till very recently).
Another problems with cash transfer is lack of indexing with inflation. As prices rise, if the money transfer does not increase proportionately, the beneficiary loses out. This does not happen when the distribution is in-kind: grain is inflation-proof. There is ample doubt whether the bureaucracy will be sensitive to inflationary revisions. In the case of MGNREGS wages, government wage rate was found to be lower than the minimum wage in some states. No corrective measures were forthcoming. The question of gender and intra-family disparity is also important. Commentators have expressed apprehension that cash, being easier to spend and control by the male members of the family, is likely to be spent on non-food items or to pay pressing debt, rather than on food. The purpose of food security would be defeated if that comes to pass. This also implies food distribution through PDS (as opposed to cash distribution) can lead to rise in calorie intake. Research indicates that a reason for the decline in calorie intake in India has been the falling access of the poor to food because they are being compelled to spend more on other goods for mere survival.
Finally, and most importantly, the present system can be reformed without throwing out the baby with the bathwater. We have seen the high leakage data in 2004. But since then, states have become more vigilant. As a result, leakage of grains has gone down from 54% to 42% in seven years. It has been observed that some states (Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh) have low rate of leakage compared to others. This gives an indication and hope that if laggard states take corrective steps their leakage figure can also go down.
|Andhra Pradesh
|Himachal Pradesh
|Tamil Nadu
|Uttar Pradesh
|West Bengal
|Leakage figure in select states (%)
States which have been successful in reducing leakage have not adopted a single formula. There has been a range of experiments performed by pro-active states. Tamil Nadu and Chhattisgarh have disbanded private FPSs. They are run by cooperatives societies, self-help groups. In Chhattisgarh the government has taken over the task of transportation of food grain to FPSs, because it was found a substantial amount of grain got stolen on the way. Himachal Pradesh and Tamil Nadu have universal PDS, rather than targeted PDS. Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh have near-universal PDS. In Tamil Nadu there are FPSs run solely by women: an experiment worth considering because it gives the control of PDS of those who have more stake in its functioning. In many pro-active states beneficiaries are informed of arrival of food grain in corresponding FPSs through SMS.
Final Words
All these inspiring examples may not cut much ice with the government which is dictated by the principle to finishing off welfare, even as we note that only 0.8% of the GDP is spent on food subsidy. Irrespective of who rules Delhi, the war against welfare expenditure remains a constant. The UPA II government put 33% households of the population out of the PDS by the National Food Security Act, the criteria for exclusion were left to be decided by the states. After the NDA came to power in 2014 it appointed the Shanta Kumar committee to review the functioning of the Food Corporation of India. The committee recommended a gradual folding up of distribution of food. This step, the committee estimated, would save the exchequer an annual expenditure of 30 thousand crores of rupees. A prime motive, perhaps the only motive given its flaws, of cash transfer appears to be cost cutting. In other words, the principal aim of the neoliberal State to deny rights to those whom it exploits remains firmly in place [2]. In this sense, the policy makers of today's India belong to the league of erstwhile colonial masters. The battle for universalisation of PDS versus its curtailing has thus been a long one [3].
Note: The article has been expanded from a presentation made at the Sanhati Panel, Annual Left Forum Meeting, New York City, 2015. It draws upon a number of articles Deepankar Basu and I have been involved in over the years. Citations have been deliberately kept at a minimum level. However, I cannot help acknowledging Mike Davis's book Late Victorian Holocausts: El Nino Famines and the Making of the Third World, Verso, 2002. The images and a large part of the data used here are borrowed from the book.
[1] See T Ray, Natural Disasters and Indian History, Oxford India Short Introductions, OUP India, 2012, for a reincarnation of such arguments.
[3] The poor need PDS much more than the rich: it is estimated that consumption of PDS food declines as expenditure level of consumers rises.
[3] There is a reasonable case for universal PDS as opposed to targeted PDS. Introduction of targeted PDS created more underserving rich beneficiaries (inclusion errors) than deserving poor non-beneficiaries (exclusion errors). It was estimated that exclusion errors are sometimes twice as high as inclusion errors. A move toward universal PDS will get rid of exclusion errors. It's true that universal PDS would include the rich in its fold, which was the argument for targeted PDS. Perhaps that is a cost we need to bear in order to make food reach the poor. Moreover, the fact that the rich buy less PDS food than the poor indicates that there is a self-selection process here: the rich tend to opt out of PDS. The cost may not be too high.

Although the Lieutenant Governor and provincial Minister of Transportation were on hand for the restored Royal Hudson's official unveiling in Squamish last week it was 85-year-old volunteer Don McAllister who zeroed in on the vintage locomotive's charm.
"She reminds me of when I was a kid," McAllister said. "Reminds me of the days when life wasn't as complicated as it is now."
McAllister, along with dozens of volunteers and contractors, has spent the last 14 months restoring the 1940 steam locomotive that was retired in 1999 after running for 25 years as a tourist train in the Sea to Sky corridor. The former electrician was in charge of keeping all the steel on the train, including side, drive and connecting rods, shiny and free of rust. An onerous task that proved to be an ongoing one after the locomotive was steamed up to a crowd of several hundred last Thursday.
"I cleaned every single solid piece of rust on it and there's rust all over the confounded thing already," McAllister said after the Hudson rolled up into place at West Coast Railway Association's heritage park. "I'll have to come in tomorrow morning and clean it off again. Or at least start," he said.
Built in Montreal in 1940, the Royal Hudson 2860 was a sister locomotive to the 2850 that carried King George VI and his wife, Queen Elizabeth on their 1939 cross-Canada tour. The locomotive worked for 16 years on the Vancouver to Revelstoke run with a top speed of 193 km/h before a first retirement in 1956. Refitted and put back into service by the Royal Hudson Steam Society in 1974, the locomotive travelled between North Vancouver and Squamish as a tourist train for 25 years. Facing a $2.5 million boiler replacement in 1999 she was again retired. Over $627,000 has been spent restoring the Royal Hudson 2860, an effort that included restoring the boiler and passing provincial steam certification.
With one long single blast and several gentle whoo-whoos the locomotive was launched last week on its third life — "more than the average cat" said Don Evans, the WCRA's executive director to the crowd of well wishers.
Lieutenant Governor Iona Campagnolo noted the Hudson's special place in B.C. history, adding that the locomotive may have a further life in contributing to the 2010 Winter Games. Campagnolo recalled once taking a train ride to Whistler during a snowfall and thinks the Hudson, with its B.C. roots should be included in the Games.
Gordon Goodman agrees. As head of Canadian Tourism Commission's business development arm and on hand for the steam up, Goodman said he'd like to see the Royal Hudson be part of the Games' torch relay, or at the very least make some runs from Vancouver to Whistler during the Games.
"It was an icon for so many years that we thought from an Olympic point of view we would like to see it have a role somewhere along the way," Goodman said. "If we could get it front and centre it's really going to appeal to our visitors and some of the markets that will be coming."
Judy Forster, mayor of White Rock, said her community is first in line to book the Royal Hudson to make a special run to celebrate White Rock's 50 th anniversary in April. The fourth trip for the Hudson to White Rock, Forster said the locomotive has an enduring appeal.
"She is magical and makes people feel good."
McAllister put it another way.
"There's something about steam locomotives, it's not something you can really explain, but she's history, where did we come from, where are we now and all that," he said.

jamesavery22 replied to evlblkwpnz's topic in Saiga-12M4 x 0.70 mm Thread. Mcmaster part number: 92137A303 can work if you don't use the sling swivel. If you can't use a pick to spin it out I'd press off the GB and drill it all the way out then press it back on. It's very easy to press off. Just make sure to mark how far to press it back before you press it off so the pin channel is aligned when you press it back on.

My old S12 got some upgrades
jamesavery22 posted a topic in Saiga-12I've always wanted a better way to put a light and an RDS on my S12. How my 10 year old shotgun started out: After recent upgrades: Had to make a new rear sight block out of 4140. Just got it back from Pete's Heat Treating Inc. yesterday. Parkerized and gunkoted it. This is the mounting point for a TWS dogleg. This also has a Glock rear sight dovetail. Actually had a tall ameriglo rear sight I got to throw on. The rear of the dogleg on an S12 is very tricky. Doesn't fit quite right with the AK74 folding trunnion with out some material removed and some added. Front sight has an "adapter" block. Also 4140. The original rivet that makes up a front post was drilled out. A socket headcap screw was shaped on the lathe the fit that hole and hold down the adapter block. Adapter block takes standard Glock front sights. The Khukov handguard was a bitch to install. Has to mill some material away. Rear mlok slots had to be removed. The barrel is too wide there. Had to mill a square near the front so there was a pocket for the bottom of the gas block to sit in. Also had to make a block that slides into the receiver and protrudes for the rear of the handguard to bolt onto. Still have to do more fit and finish work then more painting. Love it so far.
That's a great read. Apples to oranges though. x39 being a lower pressure/velocity and barrels coming from different countries. Lucky's test is beyond a torture test. No one is going through 10K rounds in the time frame that they did. At 10K my rifling looks immaculate compared to their pictures of the rifling or lack of.
I'm in the same boat. Never counted but I know I've bought at least a couple of 1K boxes of x39 each year for the past 5 years. Sprinkled in there over the years was impulse buying of good deals on 640 spam cans. The IZ-132 has eaten almost all of it. I just ran a 10 person range outing beforce xmas. The IZ-132 had 500 rounds through it in less than an hour and that wasn't my ammo. That rifle is definitely over the 10K mark. Edit--- I do feel the barrel has taken a beating. Comparing that barrel to a relatively new x39 barrel(anything under 1K) the rifling is not as bright. There also looks to be tiny "scratches." Rifling is still predominant. Just not as sharp or shinny. That being said I'll still get fist size groups at 100 yards which is a result of my poor shooting. The rifle still is more accurate than I can shoot.
8" or 12"?
jamesavery22 replied to TronJohn's topic in Saiga-1212" TonyRumore had a thread that showed 28" - 12" has negligible velocity loss. There's a super old thread on another forum where a guy took a single barrel shotgun and cut it down to something nuts like 4" 1" at a time. At each length he measured velocity. Past 12" the velocity started to drop off rapidly. So for ballistics alone, 12".
Do more mods or no?
jamesavery22 replied to ptthere's topic in Saiga 7.62 X 39For the most part I agree with you Matthew. In this specific case it is an exception. Anyone that handles any normal configured AK will prefer that to one that has one of these tapco "conversion" stocks. Putting the pistol grip two inches further back of the receiver does not help handling of the rifle. Unless you're Manute Bol I don't see making the rifle longer than the normal config a benefit for you. Ordnance, The guy in the background has a very basic converted Saiga. Yours would be very close to his if you did the true FCG conversion. In that config the rifle held up great. Forget looks. He even had a super cheap $20 tapco buttstock. It's still going strong. I was more than happy to do that conversion for him a few years back when he lived in Northern VA. If anyone in the area wants similar help feel free to ping me.
Need F'n Bullet Guide Help...
jamesavery22 replied to Big John!'s topic in Saiga 7.62 X 39As to where to grind all that matters of the bullet guide is the front edge. So if the BG is too high I'd mill down the entire top to the proper height. If you have a flat trunnion the bullet guide should be a right parallelepiped. No curves. I can measure the height of my dinzag BG when I get home. I have a flat trunnion. Is yours flat or rounded?

AK100 Side Folder Cutting Dimensions
jamesavery22 replied to lsxevo's topic in Saiga 7.62 X 39It'd be nice to have one but I've never seen a similar diagram for the 5.5 setup. That being said it's not needed. Cut enough so the trunnion can snap in. Regardless of which you have the top four rivet holes are in the same location. Use those to index the receiver and trunnion together. Then file down the extra material until the receiver's edges match the trunnion's edges when the trunnion's rivet holes match up to the existing receiver countersunk rivet holes. If you cut to the above schematics specs it will definitely work but you remove more material than you have to. Be very conservative on the cuts and file to match and it's a cleaner fit.
Cutting grooves in barrel for fsb and hand guard retainer pins.
jamesavery22 replied to riggs1117's topic in Saiga 7.62 X 39drill and ream... 7/64 drill bit then a 3mm reamer. That's if you have a virgin FSB. If your FSB already has pin holes drilled then it's a 7/64 end mill then a reamer. Need a mill for that work. Else the press fit is really all that's keeping the FSB from twisting.
I sent a M951 mount to him that was already tumbled and it was $25. The rail was painted and needed to be tumbled so that was $70.
Some small follow-up on this. I made this years ago. I finally got around to sending it to Victor at US anodizing to tumble and hard anodize it. The rifle has been through a multiple rifle classes. Fighting Rifle, RB1, some no-names. Never babied. Push-ups, thrown in mud, water, freezing cold. The rifle with the front rail attached has right around 10K through it since I first posed this. Even though I look back on how I did the rear trunnion rivets and how poorly they were done I've had 0 issues with the rifle or the sight. Never lost zero and no malfunctions even in freezing weather. Something I questioned with the 14.5" barrel and no changes to the gas system. While my curiosity has me working on non-saiga stuff I still love the platform. Even with the price rises in 5 years, whenever someone asks "What's the best path for a new person who wants a super reliable AK that's not +$1K?" my answer is still a Saiga.

He said Abdullah, who is also Home Minister, had acted promptly after hebrought the matter to his attention upon being contacted by the IndianHigh Commissioner to Malaysia (Veena Sikri).
All parties should wait for the outcome of the investigation, he toldBernama when contacted here.
Samy Vellu, who is also MIC president, was asked to comment on reportsfrom New Delhi that India was still angry over the alleged incident andwas planning to cancel all bilateral visits, ground extra landing slotsfor Malaysia Airlines and take other measures that could hurt Malaysia.
The Hindustan Times reported that India was also considering excludingMalaysian companies from road construction projects and freezing Malaysianpalm oil imports.
Last Sunday, police raided Palm Court apartments in Brickfields anddetained 165 Indian nationals, mainly IT specialists, following reportsthat they were in the country illegally.
The Indians said that they were treated roughly and some claimed theirpassports were defaced, resulting in the Indian High Commissioner toMalaysia lodging a diplomatic protest.
Samy Vellu said the incident should not be used as a yardstick to measure"Malaysia-India friendship".
"There are more things for both countries to do together. Boycotting ortelling don't give contracts to Malaysian companies cannot be based onthis (incident)," said Samy Vellu who received one of India's highestaward, the "Bharatia Samman", from Indian Prime Minister Atal BihariVajpayee in New Delhi on Jan 9 this year.
Samy Vellu, who was credited for his efforts in initiating and securingconstruction projects worth billions of ringgit for Malaysian companies inIndia through his many working visits to the sub-continent, saidMalaysia-India ties were vital for both countries, He said the Indiangovernment could request for an investigation into the incident but not atthe expense of the strong bilateral ties.

As the title states I have a good condition used set of 3.73:1 gears. Backlash and pinion depth were measured before disassembly and inscribed on ring gear (as well as a serial number for my own tracking purposes). Everybody seems to like this ratio for turbo and/or 1uz swapped cars. Last time I had a set of these for sale numerous people contacted me but they had already sold so if you missed out the first time now is your chance.
