Was horrible. Never want to have this done again.

I had one colposcopy in Sept.2009 and it only hurt when the biopsies were done(slight pinch but not too painful) The doctor said he was pleased with the results. Biopsies came back as mild dysplasia.
March 2010- I had a 2nd colposcopy to a different doctor. During the colposcopy, the doctor said these are great results and that he can freeze the tissue. He said he does have to a biopsy though and this time it came back as a high grade lesion.

It never ceases to amaze me how much beautiful land there is in Southeastern Mass. So when I stumbled upon the Striar Conservancy, I wasn't completely surprised by its rich beauty and serene vistas. It's also hard to believe that it wasn't overrun by hunters and dirt bikes considering its proximity to the roadway.
I must have ridden by this spot at least 100 times on my bike without knowing what rich woods and ponds lay hidden inside. There's a small parking lot immediately off Thompson Road (105) that was recently built this past year. Prior to its construction, I had no clue that this wonderful area existed.
The trails are freshly groomed and provide ample space for walking. Small wooden footbridges conveniently adorn most streams on the path as well. Keep in mind that I'm writing this review in Winter (before any snow has hit) and that most wetlands in the region flood over in Spring, so plan your visit accordingly. I'm also going to state that this might not be the best mountain biking spot for that same reason. Although, I am curious to find out if other trail networks conjoin Striar. If so, this might be a great place to hook up with other trails.
I went back the next day, camera in hand. Here are my photos:

Judge Fort Lauderdale for Yourself
Lighthouse near Pompano Beach from Kevin Erhard shared on Vimeo.com;
This is the view of the Hillsboro Lighthouse on the Pompano Beach side of Hillsboro Bay.

They aren't too subtle down in Fort Lauderdale – they refer to themselves as "The Venice of America" and boast of dozens of golf courses, thousands of restaurants and an ocean setting that can provide endless hours of entertainment for anyone who finds themselves in town. Does this Florida gem deliver all that it promises? It might be time for you to find out.
Upon arrival you'll indeed notice the canals, which immediately set this town apart from many others. Use them to cruise around in on your rented yacht or just enjoy the sight of something unique as you stroll through town, enjoying the sights and deciding what to do next.
Here are some ideas, just in case you're overwhelmed by all the choices: hop on a bike and cruise the streets at your leisure; satisfy a lifelong dream to go windsurfing; play volleyball and savor the feel of the sand beneath your toes, enjoy a meal on the patio of your spacious and comfortable vacation rental and watch the sun go down without having to worry about a thing…and that's just one possible day of fun.
The Venice of America from Oscar Moreno shared on Vimeo.com
Average high temperatures range from the upper 70's in January to 90 degrees in steamy August so you'll most likely be escaping to a warmer place no matter where you're coming from. This is a popular place for snowbirds and spring breakers, so keep this in mind if you want to avoid or join the crowds, but if you plan it right you can probably manage to feel perfectly content no matter when your schedule allows a visit.
Be sure to stop by Las Olas Boulevard, and not that you'll bore of "Venice" itself, but if you have time you can meander down the shore and visit Hollywood Beach or perhaps Pompano Beach, too. The whole of Southern Florida is yours, so take advantage of all that you can while you're here.
Waves from Joe Staehly shared on Vimeo.com
Nature enthusiasts and outdoor lovers simply cannot miss the stunning beauty of the Hugh Taylor Birch State Park. With four distinct natural settings located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, you can grab a kayak and explore a freshwater lagoon or set out on a hiking or biking adventure along the two mile trail to learn about the native plant and wildlife. Since the park is located in urban Fort Lauderdale, it is the perfect natural retreat for anyone who wants to escape the crowds of the Riverwalk.
After you have thoroughly exercised your body, treat you mind to a few hours of intrigue and information at the Museum of Discovery and Science. Not your typical science museum, visitors can explore nature trails in the Living in the Everglades exhibit, view the largest living Atlantic coral reef not in the open ocean, take a trip to the Moon or Mars in a simulator, and pet turtles, alligators, and iguanas. With more than 200 interactive exhibits and a five-story screen in the IMAX Theater, the museum will entertain and excite visitors of all ages.

The Protagonist: Actor & Writer Richard Belzer Says "Everything is a Conspiracy"
I thought the crowd that came out to see Richard Belzer at Tribeca's Barnes & Noble last week, on the eve of the presidential debate, would be predominantly Law & Order junkies and maybe a couple fans of Belzer's stand up. My gateway into Belzer has, after all, been his acting, which explains my complete ignorance.
It seems Belzer, in his own right, has accrued a respectable, dedicated following of conspiracy theorists. Still, I found myself not wanting to take this seriously, waiting for the punchline to fly out of Belzer's mouth, conditioned to expect wry one-liners from the slight, brazen actor. "This is a publicity stunt right?" I thought at least once. Law & Order: SVU has after all, in my mind, been suffering immensely in recent years.
Jokes aside, I was surprised to find Belzer was completely serious about the whole thing. Belzer loves — lives even — a "good" conspiracy. This would come as no surprise to someone familiar with his literary repertoire — his first book UFOs, JFK, and Elvis: Conspiracies You Don't Have to Be Crazy to Believe was published 12 years ago.
Crowd members were there to hear him read from his latest novel, however, Dead Wrong: Straight Facts on the Country's Most Controversial Cover-Ups. Actually, what this crowd really wanted was to be heard as they spouted off their own favorite — or most contentious — conspiracy theories. People are inclined to trust "good-cop" Belzer and want to open up to him, evidenced by bookstore personnel literally dragging audience members away after they had their books signed.
"But what about…." they would trail off, shooed away by employees.
"Tell us you're running for president!" shouted one audience member.
At one point, Belzer put the whole event on pause to help a crying child locate its mother elsewhere in the store. "Let's put a bullet in that parent's head," he said, returning to the crowd, to offset the nurturing gesture.
It's way more fun to see a seasoned actor and stand-up comic read from his book than your average author, who isn't sure how to publicly appeal to his audience. Belzer knew what the people wanted, and , a renaissance man, he delivered. He only read from the book's introductory "warning," before opening up the forum.
Only one brief mention of Belzer's Law & Order career was made ("Is it a conspiracy you and Ice-T don't get more screen time?"), which he laughed off with grace, preferring to get back to the subject at hand. (In case you were wondering, real-life Belzer is essentially Detective Munch, but with the limelight he's always craved.)
"Is there one big grand conspiracy in the world?" said Belzer, of a question he's often asked. "I don't think there is. Sometimes dark forces have a common interest and come together to do a big thing. Every once in awhile the bad guys have to take care of a thing."
It seems Belzer feels he has a unique duty to expose the conspiracies he does. "I wish I could be writing joke books," he said. "But I believe everything is a conspiracy until you prove it's not a conspiracy. People are ready for no BS anymore."
"Thank you for exposing these conspiracies," one elderly audience member responded.
Richard Belzer is currently writing three more books about conspiracies, "not to brag," he says.

Today's pie was courtesy of C&H sugar who sent an email with an offer I couldn't refuse – "Try a recipe from our website and we'll send a gift card to cover ingredients." I was so happy I went straight to C&H Recipe Collection and picked the first recipe that sounded good — Bake Sale Betty's Pecan Pie. How could a buy by "Bake Sale Betty" be anything less than spectacular?
I bought the ingredients last night and made the pie today. It was good, maybe great as far as flavors go. It had a lot of depth from the combination of dark corn syrup, brown sugar and vanilla, and since the recipe has less sugar than others, it wasn't cloying sweet.
Thanks C&H and Bake Sale Betty for the recipe. Now I hope you won't mind that I changed it some.
1. First off, the pecans needed toasting. Toast them for about 8 minutes at 400 before proceeding with the recipe. I'm scared to make pecan pie without toasting the nuts. I've been doing it since I was 14.
2. Whoops! Betty forgot to say how much vanilla to use. I used a full teaspoon. I like Betty more now that I know she's not perfect.
3. Betty's oven must be really slow because a bake time of 425 for 20 minutes plus 350 for another hour is ridiculous. I baked the pie at 425 for 10 minutes and at 325 for 35. It was shaky when I took it out of the oven and set up perfectly when cool.
Here are some photos of the pie. If you're still looking for one for Thanksgiving, it's a winner. And now, after all this talk about Betty, I'm off to watch Ugly Betty. Have a good weekend.

This is only the first playoff series in the young but promising careers of Nathan Horton and Brad Marchand. From the way the two are playing though, you might have a hard time telling.
Marchand scored midway through the third period to put the Bruins up 1-0 and Horton was the overtime hero, scoring nine minutes into the fifth period of play to top the Montreal Canadiens 2-1 Saturday night at the TD Garden in Boston.
The game was the first win for a home team in the series, which Boston now leads 3-2 heading back to Montreal for game six.
In the closing moments of a second period that featured somewhat of a slower pace, Marchand found himself in the middle of a scrum with Montreal's Tomas Plekanec in front of the Canadiens net, which seemed to pump some life into the building and his teammates.
"Yeah, well I was trying to stay away from it a bit there at first," explained Marchand of the altercation. "But [Tomas] Plekanec kind of got in my face there and I wasn't too happy about it. I tried to throw a punch, but I don't think I got him."
Though Marchand might not have considered his scuffle a success, he later made his mark where it counted most.
It was Marchand again who acted as a momentum spark in the third when after an in tight give and go type passing play with Patrice Bergeron, the Bruin's rookie slipped the puck passed an outstretched Carey Price for the first playoff goal of his career.
"It was very exciting. It was nice to get the monkey off the back. It took a little while but again I was just pretty excited about it," said Marchand. "It was nice to get the first one. Thank God guys stepped up lately and they didn't need me to score. So it was nice to kind of get one and chip in a little there."
Where Marchand gave the Bruins a scoring touch to take the initial lead, it was another playoff rookie in Nathan Horton who found himself finishing off the job.
After moving the puck around above the face off dots, Horton moved into position on top of the crease where he is especially dangerous and found open space to pounce on a rebound to seal the win.
"We knew it was going to be a greasy goal, and it sure was," explained Horton. "It was a rebound, but they all count."
And for only the fifth playoff game of his career, Horton seems to be getting the hang of things pretty quickly.
"It's awesome. It's a great experience and you don't know until you're truly there, until you feel it, how exciting it is to be a hockey player," said Horton. "It's pretty special. It's a lot more fun when you're winning, obviously, and you're feeling good."
Horton and his line mates Milan Lucic and David Kreji had recently come under some criticism for lack of production thus far in the series, but Horton was quick to point out what he really feels is more important.
"Well, obviously we do want to score. We've had opportunities to score, we've been playing well, but it hasn't been going in. But it's a team game and like you said, in the playoffs, it doesn't matter who scores, it matters who wins"
The Bruins head to Montreal Tuesday to try and close out the series against the Canadiens, but they know that's something easier said than done.
"The last game is always the toughest one to get. And we saw it last year with Philly. So we just have to make sure that we're ready. They're going to come out really hard and we have to match that." explained Marchand.
"We didn't do that last time we were in Montreal, and they dominated us in the first period. So we just have to make sure we have a good start."

Bright Personality and Creativity
Love is Tricky
It has its ups and downs, Smiles and frowns.
Most people take for granted love, life and the people in it.
I dont think god wants us to regret having certain people in our lives, I think he would just want us to for give and take heed to the lessons they taught us along the way. So do not harden you heart just graciously walk away from the relationships that fall apart, but remember that true love is still possible with the next

I found this recipe on skinnytaste.com!! I freaking love that site! IT WAS DELICIOUS!!
Asparagus and Poached Eggs over Pasta
Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes
Servings: 4 • Serving Size: 1 egg, pasta asparagus • Old Points: 6 pts • Points+: 8 pts
Calories: 300.8 • Fat: 7.0 g • Protein: 16.8 g • Carb: 46.1 g • Fiber: 6.8 g • Sugar: 2 g
8 oz uncooked pasta, I used Ronzoni Garden Delight Linguini
2 bunches mediumasparagus, tough ends removed (about 4 cups)
4 large eggs, I used cage free
kosher salt and fresh pepper
2 tbsp freshly shaved Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano Reggianio
Cut asparagus on an angle to one-inch pieces.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to instructions for al dente. TWO minutes before pasta is done, ADD asparagus. RESERVE 1 cup pasta water before draining pasta and asparagus in colander.
Meanwhile while pasta water is boiling, poach eggs. (There are plenty of places that teach you how to do this! I had never done it before and mine were perfect!!)
Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate.
Drain pasta then add back to pot along with some of the reserved pasta water. Divide pasta among four bowls, top with poached egg, shaved cheese, fresh cracked pepper and salt if desired.
To eat, break the yolk and mix well with pasta, top with additional cheese if desired and enjoy!!
OMG Please enjoy! It was one of the best dinners I've had in a long time!! :)

Alright, why not. Martin Freeman, Nathan Fillion and... Bill Murray. xD
Cast: Martin Freeman, Bill Murray, Nathan Fillion
Plot Synopsis: Hugh Walch (Nathan Fillion) has kept this old bear in his house for years, when his wife's coworker, Neil Holle (Martin Freeman) drops by with his wife and daughter, she decides to give it to the little girl who she decides will at least enjoy it, rather than have it taking up space in her house. What she didn't realize was that her husband had been keeping the bear because sewn inside were government documents his boss had him steal for future plans. Now he has to get the bear back before his boss Kurt Kadlec (Bill Murray) realizes it's gone. Or worse, before the government realizes he took it.

The yoke of intellectuality
I apologize that this will not and cannot apply but to a few readers, but I think within our social spheres it is important to attempt to understand and empathize with all personalities, so that we can better live with one another and care for one another.
In that justification and in a need just to explain things to myself (which I believe is why I say everything that I talk about and write about – I work through ideas by communicating them. Just ask Michelle, the most patient listener to random mind-spews in the world)…
What was I saying? Oh, right. The yoke of intellectuality. By way of introduction, I am reading a fantastic biography of Einstein by Albrecht Fölsing, translated into English. I love it for it's command of both biography and easy way of explaining the physics and science in a way that helps you to understand it per se, as well as apply it to what it meant Einstein himself.
The History
In the midst of rising success in the early 1910s, we find Einstein and his first wife Mileva and their two children moving around the German and Hungarian empires (pre-WWI), from their favorite home of Zurich, to lonely Prague, where German-speaking people were a minority, back again to Zurich.
Even in the early days, just after Albert and Mileva finished college, when Albert received his doctorate and Mileva, also a physicist, was denied hers in the final examination, and we see her take a sad but understandable turn toward depression and insecurity. Not only had she worked for years for something she did not obtain, but Albert's parents were also strongly against the relationship. Being with Albert tended to isolate her from other positive relationships. Even so, she seems to have been a very dedicated and loving mother to their children after their marriage. Their first child, conceived a while before they were married, ended up being given up for adoption because of how poor Albert nudge Mileva were at that point in their lives. To this day, no one has been able to find out what happen to Albert's first daughter; she has disappeared from history. One can only imagine how the loss of a child in such a way plagued their souls.
Much later in their relationship we see signs of a "schismogenesis". That's a good technical word for when two people or groups start to split apart. "Completmentary schismogenesis" is when (if you ever want to sound really smart) one person or group reacts in a manner that makes the other group react in an opposite manner and these reactions increase in severity over time. For example, when some people want to be listened to they will speak louder, others will speak softer to draw attention. When these two types of people talk to each other and feel that the other is not listening, one will begin to talk louder and louder and the other softer and softer. Our different ways of reacting to the same circumstances is a cause of a lot of conflict, especially when you take into consideration that one party doesn't understand why the other party reacted in that way and therefore does not empathize, but gets more frustrated by the "failure" of the other party to react properly.
This is how it played out in Albert and Mileva's relationship it seems. Albert was extremely driven and focused and responded to stress by working harder. He was self-assured, but not overly so. Mileva, being very insecure, was extremely jealous of any one else Albert spent his time with – and not just women, but the male friends Albert had as well. At one point, Mileva's outbursts almost caused an international scandal. As she became more and more dependent, Albert wanted to be more and more independent. He started to perceive her as a hindrance to his work. She was depressed and ostracized by his family. Such problems might have gone on for years, because Albert had a strong sense of duty to her, but, as it often goes, he became interested in someone else. The pull from one side and the push from the other ultimately ended his first marriage.
Misunderstanding Each Other – Intellectual Aggression and Depression
Depression is something I have struggled with intensely in the past, and I have written blogs on those experiences. However, now I want to discuss an issue pertaining to Albert Einstein.
Now I am no Einstein, but I understand his strong inclination to his work, to his strong personality which felt little guilt and lingered over regret rarely, and his ultimate desire to be happy and do what he wanted at the same time. In this I have seen in him, in myself, and in others like me in this way, a desire to place an unnatural faith in one's intellect and self-will: a belief in the ability to transcend emotional and spiritual pains, consequences to ourselves and others be damned.
I'm saying that there is a turn toward an abuse of our own emotions, inflicting a false apathy onto our pasts' and our present selves, because we have justified in our own minds how we are stronger than that. I say this is a false apathy because even within it, like within my darkest episodes of depression, is a rejection and hatred of it which comes out into our physical lives in many ways: as anger, as coldness, and terror, as sadness, as anything but a calm rationality that is "beyond" emotion. We are never beyond emotion; proof of this is the very frustration emotion causes in our lives, a frustration compounded when we try to bury emotions instead of learning to deal with them appropriately.
I truly believe that the most genius people who repress their emotions and glide over the realities of internal battles and problems in themselves and their relationships are far worse off than those who have never experienced a reality beyond those emotional/spiritual needs, yet have dealt honestly and persistently with them. Stripped from honest dealings with emotions, intellectuality will eventually tear you apart in doubts and destroyed relationships.
In the midst of sky-high depression rates amongst college kids – children who are not taught nor have seen an emotional adulthood that deals honestly with emotions – I fear that secular slogans of "intellectual or self-empowerment" and an obsession with "objective facts" which somehow exist in a vacuum beyond humans dealing with them are all pushing students toward a transcendence of themselves and their relational problems which in reality does not exist. And that's part of the reason for such confusion and devastation in us and in our relationships. We are trying to force ourselves beyond our ability, to jump into a pool of self-empowerment which simply does not exist. Humility is of the utmost importance as a virtue because it is the humble person who deals with themselves and others in the reality of where they really are, not in the prideful unreality of where they "should be". This is the yoke of intellectualism that is choking us to death, pushing our faces to the dirt under an apathetic, inhuman burden we have put onto ourselves and that the older generation has been lumping on the younger in order to lighten their own load and guilt. Pushing ourselves to be something we are not, and to want something we do not want, ends no where else but in a personal explosion or implosion.
I wonder how different Albert and Mileva's relationship would have been if it had been in a time where they could seek help in dealing with serious emotional immaturities; a time in which depression is a term used and at least has begun to be understood (and I know just how poorly). Mileva might have gotten help, but Albert? I wonder whether our world would even see any problem in him, or if they would, as history does now, simply champion an ends over means approach to life and science. I will also say that such an uncaring Albert did in no way exist. His struggles with relationships and with the consequences of his own scientific endeavors on others was constant and painful for him. Conscientious and emotionally unsure Albert is not the Einstein we meet in popular histories, where it is the no holds barred Einstein that is reconstructed to encourage the high-school and college intellectuals among us. There is a real man behind all of that, complete in all his successes and failures.
Until we see a retuned focus to relational, emotional and spiritual issues as important and not "base", "vulgar", and "beneath" intellectual pursuits, but rather vital for a true vitality of life in a world where we constantly have to deal with ourselves and others, we will be burdened. Until we remove our obsession with a "freedom from" others to say and do whatever we want, which is simply not the state of the interconnected world, we will be burdened under this yoke.
As a final note, some intellectuals put up a false fear of feeding the rampant "anti-intellectualism" in America in which those without some experience therefore find no worth in it. The irony of that perspective is anything but laughable. It is the desire, not intellectual demand, to meet each other and ourselves at a common level that makes any sort of cliquishness seem petty and pitiable.
A Path Out?
Our society is trying to fix mental illness and "rediscover" relationships while embracing some of it's causes and symptoms. Not the physical causes which are certainly there, but the social exacerbations of these issues. "Mind" is a tool, not an end, just like emotions. They are on the same level, but with different functions. The end is a faith in and knowledge of God, to be quite honest. Without God, I constantly see a reversal of putting "mind" as God and God as subservient to "mind". This type of self-glorification is a symptom of the very self-imposed yoke of intellectualizing ourselves, separating ourselves into parts and rejecting the whole – then doing the same to our heroes and then chasing after a figment of our imagination instead of learning from real lives.
There is no freedom from people around us, but that's okay. Peace doesn't come by accident, and it doesn't come by making everything we think is "bad" in others illegal. Christianity is unique in this, that it teaches that its communities must strive to the point of its members giving up themselves and their wants in order to maintain a general unity of purpose. It teaches that through faith in Christ we can be free for the sake of each other: to encourage, to admonish, to push each other to be the best possible, and to catch those who fall to the lowest depths. That's what I want, not just an intellectual sharing of ideas, though I desire that strongly as well. We need to try to understand each other's reactions and then try to understand what we, individually, and we, as a society, are doing to either encourage depression and aggression, or dispel such in community.

Pop your New Year's Eve top perfectly
Pick and open celebratory sparkling wines like a pro.
Amanda Balo, a certified sommelier, offers some handy advice for picking the perfect bottle of bubbly for your party tonight.
"The Cuvée Prestige of Champagne, France -- such as James Bond's choice of Bollinger Grande Année -- are indeed beautiful," says Balo.
Not all toasts need to be made with Champagne, however.
"Some of my favorites are crémants. Crémant d'Alsace and Crémant de Loire are the most common crémants that are making their way from France to the US. They're made in the same style as Champagne and are very tasty," she adds.
Balo also says that Italy and Spain are producing good value sparkling wines, such as Prosecco and cava, that are perfect for New Year's Eve pouring.
Time to toast
If you've made it to a party without a sommelier or a bartender, you might need to crack open your own bottle. Balo notes that uncorking Champagne and other sparkling wines can cause consternation for some. "Many consumers are either leery of opening bubbles or feel like they have to make a show of it like Jay-Z."
To calm any unneeded bottle anxiety, Balo offers an easy -- and safe -- set of steps for opening sparkling wine.
- Drape a clean linen towel over the cork (and the wire cage that holds it in).
- Unwind the wire cage with a series half twists on the loop at its bottom.
- Leave the loosened wire cage on the cork, under the linen.
- Slightly tilt the bottle at an angle, so it is neither horizontal or vertical. Point it away from any people or breakable objects.
- With one hand, hold the bottle at the bottom and slowly rotate it in one direction while holding the cork and cage steady.
- Ideally, you will not hear a sound when the cork is freed as you turn the bottle (but a small wisp of air is fine).
- Finally, you can drink! Be sure to pour the wine slowly for less foam in your glass. Cheers!

But while our countries and peoples are very similar, there have always been distinct differences between us. Historically the most significant was that while the United States rebelled against Great Britain Great Britain, officially United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, constitutional monarchy (2005 est. pop. 60,441,000), 94,226 sq mi (244,044 sq km), on the British Isles, off W Europe. The country is often referred to simply as Britain. to gain its freedom, the vast majority of Canadians remained loyal to the Crown. Canada's government, laws and traditions also have a distinctive "English" flavor (flavour?) to them, and her citizens have, in general, tended to be less "raucous" than their cousins to the south. While both of our nations underwent rapid westward expansions in the 19th century, Canada's was accomplished with significantly less violence than was ours (see "Guns of the Mounties," SGN SGN Sign

Since the end of the War of 1812, the United States and Canada have been at peace and are proud of the fact that we have the longest unguarded border of any two nations in the world. As part of the British Empire British Empire, overseas territories linked to Great Britain in a variety of constitutional relationships, established over a period of three centuries. The establishment of the empire resulted primarily from commercial and political motives and emigration movements , Canada was seen as a "safe" colony with no rapacious neighbors and, aside from the paramilitary North West Mounted Police (later the Royal Canadian Mounted Police--RCMP), for most of the 19th and early 20th centuries, Canada did not have an army, depending upon militia units that were called into service by Parliament in times of national emergency.
Because of their close association with Great Britain, the Canadian militia and, later, regular army have traditionally used British-pattern weaponry. The first metallic cartridge revolver adopted by the NWMP NWMP North West Mounted Police
NWMP National Wildfire Mitigation Program was the Pistol, Adams, Centrefire, BL, Mark l, which was followed by the improved Mark II and Mark III revolvers.
* .450 Revolver better known as the .450 Boxer or .450 Adams, this cartridge used a straight-walled case, .69" in length that had a riveted-on iron (Mark I) or brass (Mark II) disk which functioned as a rim. A charge of 13 grains of blackpowder propelled its 225-grain lead bullet to 650 fps.
As did their British counterparts, the Mounties found the Adams grossly underpowered and requested a revolver firing a more authoritative cartridge. Unfortunately, at the insistence of a parsimonious par·si·mo·ni·ous
Excessively sparing or frugal.
parsi·mo Parliament, they were saddled with one of the worst military revolvers of the 19th century--the Pistol, B.L., Enfield (Mark II), Interchangeable, better known as the Mark II Enfield.
* .476 Enfield, Mark I, II & III-Enfield revolvers were chambered for the "Cartridge SA Ball, Pistol Enfield Mark I" which utilized a drawn brass case .85" long containing 18 grains of blackpowder that moved its 265-grain lead bullet to 600 fps. There were three versions of the cartridge: The Mark I had a hollow based .455 bullet filled with a clay plug; the Mark. II did away with the clay plug; the Mark. Ill utilized a larger .476 bullet in an attempt to improve accuracy.
While the NWMP soldiered on with the Enfield, it was unpopular, and many Mounties and militia of ricers carried privately purchased revolvers. While some British revolvers were used, the majority of these were of American make with Colt and Smith & Wesson Smith & Wesson
U.S. gun manufacturer. The company has its roots in an 1852 partnership between Horace Smith (1808–93) and Daniel B. Wesson (1825–1906), who designed and marketed a lever-action, repeating magazine handgun that held a self-contained cartridge. being the most popular brands and with large calibers such as the .45 Colt, .44 WCF See Windows Communication Foundation. and .44 S&W Russian predominating.
In the 1880s the NWMP began buying Smith & Wesson pocket revolvers for issue to high-ranking officers and constables working undercover. The most widely used models were the Double Action 1st Model and Safety Hammerless, both chambered for the .38 S&W cartridge.
* .38 Smith & Wesson-introduced in 1877, the .38 S&W was ideally suited to small pocket-type revolvers and was one of the most popular cartridges of the 19th century. The round was based upon a straight-walled, rimmed case .76" long containing 15 grains of blackpowder that propelled its 146-grain lead bullet to approximately 685 fps.
Large numbers of S&W, Colt and Webley revolvers in .38 S&W were also used by local police forces well into the 1960s. The Ontario Provincial Police The Ontario Provincial Police (O.P.P.) is the Provincial Police force for the province of Ontario, Canada. Overview
The OPP is the largest police force in Ontario and the second largest in Canada. issued the Webley Mark IV until it was replaced in the mid 1960s by the Colt Police Positive in .38 Special.
In 1885, with the outbreak of the Northwest Rebellion, the Canadian Department of Militia and Defense purchased 1,000 Colt M1878 Double Action Frontier Revolvers chambered for the .45 Colt cartridge. Additional M 1878s and numbers of Colt New Service revolvers were purchased around 1900 to equip Canadian troops being sent to South Africa during the Second Anglo-Boer War where they ably assisted the British in bringing the recalcitrant Boers to the negotiating table.
* .45 Colt-adopted by the U.S. Army in 1873, it proved one of the most popular revolver cartridges of the 19th century. The original load consisted of a 1.26-inch straight-walled, rimmed case topped with a 255-grain lead bullet that 40 grains of blackpowder propelled to 860 fps. (1)
In 1904, the Mounties also adopted the Colt New Service Revolver. While at first these revolvers were chambered for the .455 Webley, beginning in 1919, revolvers in both .455 and .45 Colt were purchased. Apparently the policy was to issue .455 revolvers to constables in the western provinces, North-West Territory, and Yukon, while those used in the eastern part of the country were chambered for the .45 Colt.
* Cartridge, .455, SA, Ball, Pistol, Revolver Webley, Cordite cordite: see powder. Mark l-adopted by the British Army in 1894, its .860" straight-walled; rimmed case contained 6.5 grains of Cordite and a 265-grain lead bullet moving at 600 fps. The big, slow-moving .455 bullet proved an excellent "man stopper" and Webley revolvers earned a reputation as serious fighting handguns. In the U.S. and Canada, the Mark I cartridge was often referred to as the ".455 Colt."
* Cartridge, .455 ... Mark II--in 1897, it was discovered that better propellant pro·pel·lant also pro·pel·lent

While she has always had a significantly smaller population than the United States, this population has traditionally been more law-abiding, and Canada has always enjoyed lower crime rates than her southern neighbor. While many British colonies adhered to the tradition of unarmed constables, like their American counterparts, Canadian police have always been armed.
Canadian police departments have adopted whatever revolver they found best suited their needs (or budgets!) and during the 19th and early 20th centuries, a wide variety was used. As on the American frontier, in Canada's western provinces large-caliber revolvers predominated, but most metropolitan police departments used smaller .32 and .38 cal. revolvers with Colt, Webley and S&W being the most popular brands.
In 1914. Canada showed her loyalty to the Mother Country and declared war on Germany and the Canadian Expeditionary Force fought With distinction on the Western Front for four, long, bloody years. While most Canadian troops were equipped with British pattern rifles, the Canadian government purchased S&W Hand Ejector ejector

* .45 ACP--the Colt M1911 was chambered for one of the most influential handgun cartridges of all times, consisting of a straight-walled rimless case .89" in length whose 230-grain full metal-jacketed (FMJ FMJ Full Metal Jacket
FMJ Facility Management Journal ) bullet was pushed to approximately 850 fps.
In the postwar period, Canadian police forces began to upgrade their equipment. While some continued to use revolvers chambered for the .38 S&W, as was the case in the United States, increasing numbers of Canadian police agencies took revolvers chambered for the .38 Spl. into service.
* .38 S&W Spl.-introduced in 1899, the .38 Spl. would eventually become the most popular police cartridge in the Western Hemisphere. It utilized a straight-walled, rimmed case 1.14 inches in length loaded with the lead bullets of 158 or 200 grains at velocities ranging from 850 to 730 fps.
By the 1940s, the majority of Canadian police departments were armed with .38 Spl. revolvers, the most popular models being the S&W Military & Police and Colt Official Police.
* .38-44 S&W Special Hi-Speed-introduced in 1930, this was the .38 Spl. loaded with a 158-grain hardened lead or metal pointed bullet moving at 1175 fps and was intended to be fired from large-frame revolvers only. In the U.S., it proceed very popular with rural lawmen and highway patrol departments in the western states and was adopted .by the British Columbia-Provincial Police before that agency was incorporated into the RCMP.
In 1939, Canada declared war on Germany and sent troops to help defend Great Britain against Nazi aggression. Canadian troops were originally armed 'with the same handguns as were used during, the Great War, but approximately 100,000 S&W Military & Police (later known as the "Victory Model") revolvers, chambered for the .380 Mark 2 cartridge, were obtained. These were supplemented with small numbers of the British army's Pistol, No. 2 Mark I, .380 inch--better known as the No. 2 Enfield revolver and some Webley Mark IV revolvers. In addition to these revolvers, the Canadians also obtained some M1911A1 pistols from the USA.
* Cartridge, SA, Ball, .380 Mark 1, 2, & 2z--the Mark 1 cartridge utilized a straight-walled, rimmed case .79" long loaded with a 200-grain, blunt-nosed, lead bullet moving at approximately 605 fps and was commonly referred to as the .380/200. In 1938, so as to abide by To stand to; to adhere; to maintain.
See also: Abide international conventions, the (Cartridge: ... 380 Mark 2" was adopted with a 178-grain FMJ bullet moving at .700 fps. During World War II, the (Cartridge.... 380 Mark 2z (with nitro-cellulose powder replacing Cordite was adopted.
* Cartridge .455 ... Mark 6 & 6z--adopted in 1939, it featured a FMJ bullet of the same weight and velocity as the Mark II (see above). The later "Mark '6z" used nitro-cellulose powder instead of Cordite.
In 1943, John Inglis Company, Ltd. of Toronto, Ontario received a contact from the Nationalist Chinese government to manufacture the 9mm FN Browning Hi, Power pistol. After obtaining a license from FN's representatives, they began production of a model with a tangent rear sight and wooden holster/shoulder stock (No. 1 Marks 1 & 1*) and later produced a version with a standard rear sight (No. 2 Marks 1 & 1*). Numbers of the latter were supplied to the British and Canadian armies where they became favorites of airborne and commando forces. Production continued until 1945 with approximately 153,000 units being produced.
* S.A., Ball, 9mm, Mark 1z--the Hi-Power pistols were chambered for the popular 9mm Parabellum cartridge. As loaded in Canada, the Mark 1z used a 19mm, tapered, rimless case with a 116-grain FMJ bullet moving at an impressive 1250 fps.
The only notable change in the Canadian police handgun scene of the post-World War II years occurred in 1952, when the RCMP replaced the aging Colt New Service with the S&W Military & Police (a.k.a. Model 10) revolver and in the 1970s adopted the S&W Model 49 revolver for constables working undercover. While the 1960s saw more and more American police forces switching to .357 Mag. revolvers, the majority of Canadian agencies Canadian agencies
Agency banks established by Canadian Banks in the U.S. found the .38 Spl. met their requirements quite well.
But when American police began changing over from the revolver to semiauto pistols in the 1990s,. their Canadian brethren were not far behind. The RCMP was first off the mark when the Emergency Response Team adopted the 9mm SIG P226. In 1995, the Mounties replaced their long-serving Model 10 revolvers with S&W's Model 5946 and 3953 9mm semiauto pistols.
Since then, the vast majority of Canadian law-enforcement agencies have adopted either 9mm or .40 S&W pistols. As in the United States, the latter cartridge is more popular, and Canadian police used a variety of Glock, SIG, Walther, S&W and Beretta be·ret·ta or ber·ret·ta
Variants of biretta. pistols.
* .40 S&W-developed in late 1980s, this cartridge uses a straight-walled, rimless case .85" in length. My inquiries have shown that most Canadian police departments equipped with this cartridge use a 180-grain load with a JHP JHP Jacketed Hollow Point (bullet)
JHP Journal of Humanistic Psychology
JHP Journal of Health Psychology
JHP Jewish Heritage Program bullet at a muzzle velocity of approximately 950-1000 fps.
The Canadian Forces (CF) still have considerable numbers of the 54,000 Inglis No. 2 Mark I* pistols produced during World War II in storage, and it remains the standard issue sidearm after 64 years! In the 1990s, the CF purchased several thousand SIG P225 pistols and, more recently, SIG P228s for issue to military police units.

This is nothing more than the venerable 9mm Parabellum loaded with either a 115- or 124-grain FMJ bullet with a velocity between 1160 and 1200 fps.

Men's Top 6 Health Concerns
Routine Health Maintenance for Men
4. Step on the Scale
Three out of four of Americans are overweight or obese. Is fat the new normal? There's an ongoing debate as to just how bad being overweight or obese is for our health. But it's clear that obesity is linked to higher rates of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and many kinds of cancer.
While the experts debate, start losing weight. "Move more, eat less" is your mantra. You don't need a gym membership to reach your goal of 30 minutes of daily physical activity. Park the car far from the store, take the stairs at work, and walk the dog around the block, and you're almost there.
Almost any diet can work in the short run, but long-term weight loss requires a permanent lifestyle change for most people. Make small changes that you can sustain over time and build on your successes.
5. Get Screened for Colorectal Cancer
Unlike many other forms of cancer, colorectal cancer typically grows for years before spreading. If caught early, it can be cured.
A colonoscopy is a somewhat awkward, slightly embarrassing, and highly effective method of finding colon cancer. Often, polyps that may turn into cancer can be removed during the colonoscopy. Other methods of screening that don't require colonoscopy are also available. Screening begins at age 50, sometimes earlier if you have a family member who had colon cancer.
Unfortunately, 50% to 75% of people don't take advantage of their advantage over colorectal cancer. The National Cancer Institute estimates that in 2012, about 52,000 deaths will occur from colorectal cancer. Don't be a statistic.
6. Learn About Prostate Cancer Screening
Prostate cancer screening is controversial. Using the notorious gloved finger (digital rectal exam), a blood test (prostate specific antigen or PSA) and biopsies if necessary, doctors can detect abnormal growths in the prostate gland early in many men. Sometimes, screening catches prostate cancers, saving men's lives.
But surprisingly, screening hasn't been proven overall to help men survive prostate cancer. That's because screening detects many cancers that, if left alone, would never cause problems. These cancers are nevertheless removed surgically -- leaving some men who might never have died from prostate cancer with side effects such as impotence or incontinence.
The American Cancer Society says men should talk to their doctors about the benefits, risks, and limitations of prostate cancer screening before deciding whether to be tested. The group's guidelines make it clear that prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood testing should not occur unless this discussion happens.
The American Urological Association recommends that men ages 55 to 69 who are considering screening should talk with their doctors about the risks and benefits of testing and proceed based on their personal values and preferences. The group also adds:
- PSA screening in men under age 40 years is not recommended.
- Routine screening in men between ages 40 to 54 years at average risk is not recommended.
- To reduce the harms of screening, a routine screening interval of two years or more may be preferred over annual screening in those men who have decided on screening after a discussion with their doctor. As compared to annual screening, it is expected that screening intervals of two years preserve the majority of the benefits and reduce over diagnosis and false positives.
- Routine PSA screening is not recommended in men over age 70 or any man with less than a 10-15 year life expectancy.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, however, doesn't recommend routine PSA screening for men in the general population, regardless of age. They say the tests may find cancers that are so slow-growing that medical treatments -- which can have serious side effects -- would offer no benefit.
