Hi AANC
It seems to work now. Have you tried again?
Hi guys

I guess the title says it. I'm reading a book and I can see how they work but why would I create them instead of normal methods with normal parameters?
I searched Google and SO I just got confused more.
Please clarify. Thanks.

A proc is different because you can store it in a variable. Therefore you can pass it as a paramater to a function, return it from a function, manipulate it, etc.
Procs, lambdas and blocks are one of the main things that make Ruby awesome.They are at the heart of Ruby's iterators for example. When you do something like:
you are basically passing a block (a Proc object) to the each function.
Let's say you a bunch of arrays, that you want to process in the same way. To save you from writing the each code every single time you can do something like:
When you want to pass a Proc to a function as a block, you have to preceed it with an
Another useful way to use Proc, is in functions.
Say you have a function that instantiates an object, does some minor changes, and returns it. To make it more flexible, you can make it accept a block like so:
Yield is where the magic happens. When that line is evaluated, the function will execute the block that you give it with my_item as a parameter. So you can do stuff like:
You don't use Procs and lambdas to replace functions, you use them to augment functions. You can have a function that returns a Proc that was built based on whatever parameters you give it. There are a lot of ways to be creative with Procs.
Procs can be passed around as objects and called when required. This is useful for modularity (amongst other things) and delayed processing. An example is the way ActiveRecord allows Procs in validations. Some examples:
In this case, the Proc is called (and reused) whenever the validation is carried out.
Procs - is just 'methods' with delayed call. You can save some code in proc and then execute it later. It is hard to explain where you can use them I'll try to get example from my projects.
A method is something concrete that you have to know how to invoke. Procs and blocks are arbitrary units of code that can be passed around and used at-will. You can think of a Proc as a sort of closure, I guess.
You use a Proc when your method needs help from whatever code is stored in the Proc. Maybe some logic to load a resource from somewhere, or something else non-trivial. Unlike a block, Procs are intended to be kept around, in a variable.
Good question, after answering on this question you will clearly know where and how to use Proc. For my understanding, the advantage of Proc is that you can pass the Proc as parameter to another methods. When you're defining the usual method, it bound to current context and can't be changed, you can't pass this method to another places. But with Proc you can do this. All iterators use this magic. You just saying what to do with every item in the array (you've created the proc object) and passing to iterator, and then iterator takes this method as an object and execute deep inside in his functionality.
Another common use is to simplify things that are structured as interpreters. Suppose you have a calculator of some sort, you could do it like this (which separates the association between the operator and its definition):
Or you could use lambdas to make it a lot cleaner and tighter (i.e. pull the operator and its definition together to make it obvious what is going on):
The latter approach also makes special cases stand out more (IMHO).
A surprising number of things can be structured as interpreters of custom data structures once you're used to this sort of approach.

John Gerzema Marketing guru John Gerzema looks at the long-term history of American savings, noting that the country saved a great deal of money during WWII primarily because there was very little focus on consumption anywhere in our culture. Following that anomalous period, within the past 20 years, Americans went from a 10% savings rate to a negative savings rate. He argues that the solution to the current economic crisis is in the hands of the consumer, but that mindful consumption is key (durable living, for example, instead of luxurious binging).

Got exactly what I paid for and would stay there again. 2 queen-sized beds, pool for the kids and breakfast provided. Very good price.
Our non-smoking room was fine, but the hallway smelled of both fresh and stale smoke. Front desk staff were often (50%ish) not at the desk, with no bell or way of alerting them if needed.

Chat with Inside Lacrosse
Welcome to SportsNation! On Thursday, our friends from Inside Lacrosse will stop by to take your questions about the 2010 season.
This week, our experts will be joined by Brian Karalunas and Kevin Cunningham of No. 15 Villanova.
Send your questions now and join Inside Lacrosse Thursday at 2 p.m. ET!

Sean Burns (2:02 PM)
Hey fans, we're here with Villanova's Brian Karalunas and Kevin Cunningham, talking Wildcat lacrosse before their game against Big East foe Notre Dame on Saturday. Shoot us your questions and they'll answer as many as they can!
Mike (Radnor)
Kevin, how are you guys going to be able to beat Scotty Rodgers on Saturday?
Kevin Cunningham (2:03 PM)
Hey Mike, Scotty Rodgers is the best goalie in the country. He is going to be a tough one to beat but I feel if we take high percentage shots we will be ok.
Casey (Long Island)
How will Villanova respond in their game against Notre Dame coming off a 20-6 loss against Syracuse? Do you see Villanova making the playoffs? Who do you think will win the 2010 championship?
Brian Karalunas (2:03 PM)
The fortunate thing about a loss like that midseason is that you don't have much time to think about it. Hopefully we come out strong vs ND. A quality win vs them would go a long way to forgetting our last game.
Kevin Cunningham (2:04 PM)
Yea we had a tough one against Cuse but we did not play well. But it's over now... We have to move on and have a tough week of practice to get ready for ND
Calvin W (Clearwater, FL)
Does Jacksonville have any chance against Duke on Sunday? How will a Florida school playing men's lacrosse impact the sport?
Brian Karalunas (2:06 PM)
Jacksonsville's Coach Kerwick is one of the great minds in the game (and a great guy too) so I think any time one of his teams takes the field they have a chance to win. It is great to see lacrosse expanding all over the country and a team in FLA will only help. Hard for kids to resist the thought of playing lax then going to the beach from some bronzing afterwards.
Kevin Cunningham (2:06 PM)
Jacksonville is a great story this year making huge progress, i think every team has a chance against anyone but Jacksonville is going to have to play a great game but i think they can do it. I think that a team in Florida playing lacrosse will expand the sport of lacrosse.
Mike (Radnor)
You guys were having a great season but you just had a tough one against Cuse - how do you guys get off the canvas?
Brian Karalunas (2:08 PM)
We've had a hard few days of practice and I think we'll be ready for ND. We've worked on a few things we have struggled with. It will be a great game Saturday. I think our team is fully capable of making the playoffs this year. We have the talent to make the playoffs and hopefully a strong second of the season in one of the hardest conferences in the country will get us there. As for the champion...there is a ton of parity this year, it will be exciting to see how it plays out
Calvin W (Clearwater, FL)
How much explaining of the game do you have to do with the students on campus? Do athletes from the other sports ask you about lax?
Kevin Cunningham (2:21 PM)
A lot of people here are very familiar with the game of lacrosse, but some people do ask about the rules.
Brian Karalunas (2:23 PM)
Most of the kids on campus know about lax but for those to don't I always just tell them to come to a game and I'll do my best to explain afterward. The athletes are campus are pretty close so we talk a lot about each other's sports and support one another.
eddie (shepard) (geneseo, ny)
This question is for mr. karalunas, the greatest lsm in all thou land...Mr karalunas, would you, or would you not attribute your pregame bagel sandwiches to your on-field success?
Brian Karalunas (2:26 PM)
All of my game success stems from my pregame bagel sandwiches, they give you unparalleled energy. Started crushing them junior year of high school and my game has gone up exponentially since then.
Joe (Louisville)
Syracuse game aside, the team has been playing great so far. How do the wins over ranked teams Delaware and Drexel help the team in the rest of the Big East games?
Kevin Cunningham (2:27 PM)
I think with wins against Drexel and Delaware it gives our team great confidence, and shows us that we are a very good team.
cats (cuse)
What do you need to do the remainder of this season to get back to the NCAA tournament?
Kevin Cunningham (2:28 PM)
I think in order to get back to the NCAA tournament we have to continue playing well and doing well in the big east conference.
The WonderBoy (The X)
Brian, what's you favorite check? Do you react to midfielders or do you set them up for punishment?
Brian Karalunas (2:30 PM)
My favorite checks are anything with butt end. Nothing more demoralizing for a midfielder than getting hit with a butt end...haha I try my best to set them up for punishment, never let a midfielder tell you where to go.
John (Philly)
Brian, you got some love in an IL story about the best LSMs in the game (picture too) - how do you feel about playing that position?
Brian Karalunas (2:33 PM)
John, I couldn't agree more with writer Tommy Kehoe. Most fun position in the game, mostly get to beat people up on defense but get to satisfy that occasional urge to play some O too.
Diane (Syracuse)
Are butt end checks legal? I saw you sat for 30 seconds after throwing one on Monday?
Brian Karalunas (2:35 PM)
Yes butt end checks are legal and highly underutilized! Highly questionable 30 second hold if you ask me.
Diane (Syracuse)
You mentioned parity -- with the tremendous growth of lacrosse over the past few years, do you envision a large number of upsets during the remainder of the season? During the tournament?
Brian Karalunas (2:36 PM)
I envision a number of upsets the rest of the year. Lacrosse has seen some non-traditional powerhouses emerge through the first half of the season and that will only continue as the season progresses
Kevin Cunningham (2:37 PM)
I think there will be a good number of upsets coming up in the second half of the season.
BillyO (Indy)
AS two guys with long ast names, how do you feel about names on the backs of lax jerseys?
Kevin Cunningham (2:39 PM)
Haha i think its really cool when people have their names on their back.
Brian Karalunas (2:40 PM)
Last names might work for some people but with a name like "karalunas" it'd have to carry over to the front of my jersey and might detract from some swag.
John (Philly)
How do you guys like playing in the Big East so far?
Kevin Cunningham (2:42 PM)
I think the Big East is great! Every game is going to be a challenge.
Mr Nova (NYC)
Brian- u have an uncanny knack of making Attackmen loose there stick with your constant relentless presure . How is this done/ Do you look at alot of film?
Brian Karalunas (2:43 PM)
I look at film to get an idea of who I'm playing and their tendencies but mostly I just try to run with them and hit the stick enough until they hopefully let it go.
Craig (Blatimore)
Kevin, Who's been the toughest draw to dodge against this year? What's your go-to set up move?
Kevin Cunningham (2:45 PM)
I played a massive human being on Delaware, Pat Dowling, he was very good. I would get a step but he was so tall that he would still be able to go over my head.
Kevin Kopp (Geneseo, NY)
This is for Mr. Brian Karalunas. Mr Karalunas, which Villanova basketball player would you liken yourself to in terms of playing style? My instinct tells me Corey Fischer would be your answer.
Brian Karalunas (2:49 PM)
Mr. Kevin Kopp, great instincts and Fischer's up there but I'd have to go with all-american inbounder Maurice Sutton. Looks like a clown when he's in but has the heart of lion to keep going 100% on every inbound pass
Calvin W (Clearwater, FL)
What do you guys like better--outdoor or indoor lacrosse--and why?
Kevin Cunningham (2:50 PM)
Outdoor lacrosse, definitely. I think that in indoor lacrosse it is sometimes harder to breathe and you get tired easier.
Brian Karalunas (2:50 PM)
Outdoor. No question. Playing with a short stick isn't my dig and ice hockey is my game of choice during the winters.
Sean Burns (2:51 PM)
Alright folks, Brian and Kevin have to get on with the rest of their days and get ready for Notre Dame this weekend in a key Big East contest.
Sean Burns (2:54 PM)
You can follow that game and many more on InsideLacrosse.com's in-game blogs, and be sure to follow ESPNU on Saturday, where you can watch Johns Hopkins host North Carolina at Noon and Virginia travel to Maryland at 8PM.

In response to a need to standardize the use of such terms as and the U.S. Congress passed the Organic Foods Production Act of
1990, which established the U.S. National Organic Standards Board (NOSB). In 1995, the NOSB defined as "an production management system that promotes and enhances , cycles and soil biological activity. It is based on minimal use of off-farm inputs and on management practices that restore, maintain and enhance ecological harmony." Organic production uses "materials and practices that enhance the ecological balance of natural systems and that integrate the parts of the farming system into an ecological whole," though such practices "cannot ensure that products are completely free of residues" of pesticides, herbicides, and other additives or contaminants. However, "methods are used to minimize pollution from air, soil, and water. Organic food handlers, processors, and retailers adhere to standards that maintain the integrity of organic agricultural products. The primary goal of organic agriculture is to optimize the health and productivity of interdependent communities of soil life, plants, animals and people" (NOSB).

This is a continuation, of application Ser. No. 16,008, filed Feb. 28, 1979, now abandoned.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a magnetic recording medium and a process for preparing the same.
2. Description of the Prior Arts
An improvement of a recording density is basical need for a magnetic recording medium. That is, data storing capacity per unit area or unit volume is increased to minimize the magnetic recording medium.
When a smaller size of a magnetic recording medium is prepared by using the conventional magnetic power, a sensitivity is inferior and a frequency characteristic is inferior. A magnetic powder having higher characteristics such as high coercive force and high magnetic flux density is required.
From these viewpoints, a magnetic recording medium having high coercive force is required for high density recording. The coercive force at room temperature (25° C.) of more than 550 Oersted is enough under a consideration of a harmony with a magnetic head.
An orientation is preferably higher and especially higher than 2.0.
There is a problem of a stability. Even though the magnetic characteristics such as coercive force are suitable values, a magnetic recording medium whose magnetic characteristics are unstable to vary depending upon a temperature or a pressure can not be practically used. It is important factor that magnetic characteristics of a magnetic recording medium are stable.
Coercive forces as one of the magnetic characteristics have been studied on a ratio of Hc-196° C. /Hc25° C. wherein Hc-196° C. is a coercive force at -196° C. (boiling point of nitrogen) and Hc25° C. is a coercive force at 25° C. (room temperature), as an index for a temperature dependency.
In general, a coercive force is higher at lower temperature and a ratio of Hc-196° C. /Hc25° C. is higher than 1 and higher ratio shows high temperature dependency whereas lower ratio shows lower temperative dependency. A magnetic recording medium having lower index is preferable from the viewpoint of the temperature stability and a satisfactory ratio of Hc-196° C. /Hc25° C. is less than 1.8 in a practical use.
It has been known to prepare a magnetic recording medium by incorporating cobalt ions and ferrous ions (Fe2+) in ferromagnetic iron oxide.
When an amount of Fe2+ is larger, a coercive force is increased but the magnetic characteristics become unstable and a transfer effect and an erase effect are deteriorated or a binder is deteriorated by Fe2+ to affect physical property of the tape disadvantageously in a practical use.
The inventors have studied on the ranges for preventing troubles in a practical use and have found that an amount of Fe2+ should be less than 1.0 wt.% to the other magnetic substances.
The important conditions for the magnetic recording medium are as follows.
1 Hc25° C. is more than 550 Oersted.
2 A ratio of Hc-196° C. /Hc25° C. is less than 1.8.
3 A content of Fe2+ is less than 1.0 wt.%.
According to the studies on these properties of the conventional magnetic recording medium, there is no known magnetic recording medium which has satisfactory properties. The properties of the known magnetic recording media are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1______________________________________ Co adsorption Co dope Co adsorption Fe2+ addition γ-Fe2 O3 γ-Fe2 O3 γ-Fe2 O3______________________________________H25° C. (Oersted) 650 ˜500 550 to 650 (exp.)Hc-196° C. /Hc25° C. 5< 1.6 >2.0Content of Fe2+ 1> <0.1 3 ˜ 5(%)Orientation 2.0 2.0 1.9______________________________________
As one magnetic powder having high coercive force and high magnetic flux density, a magnetic powder (Co dope type γ--Fe2 O3) which incorporate a small amount of cobalt in γ--Fe2 O3 magnetic powder has been practically used. However, the magnetic recording medium prepared by using the magnetic powder has remarkably high temperature and pressure dependency of the magnetic characteristics and the condition 2 is not satisfactory. Moreover, when the magnetic powder is used for the magnetic recording tape, the transfer effect is disadvantageously high and this is not practically used.
As the other example, an improved cobalt adsorption type γ--Fe2 O3 by modifying said cobalt dope type γ--Fe2 O3 has been known. This has a structure having the surface layer comprising certain cobalt compound formed by adsorbing cobalt ions on acicular γ--Fe2 O3 as cores whereby this has high coercive force resulted by surface anisotropic property. This has stable magnetic characteristics and improved transfer effect. The coercive force can be increased by increasing a content of cobalt ions adsorbed, however the maximum coercive force might be about 500 Oersted. In order to increase coercive force over 500 Oersted, ferrous ions (Fe2+) are incorporated as well as cobalt ions in the magnetic powder. Even though the coercive force is increased, the transfer effect and the erase effect are deteriorated to cause unstable magnetic characteristics and the properties of the binder are deteriorated and the characteristics are adversely affected by the incorporation of ferrous ions.
Thus, the conventional magnetic recording media had various disadvantages on the transfer effect, erase the effect, the properties, the stability and the orientation.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a magnetic recording medium having high coercive force (more than 550 Oersted of Hc25° C.), high orientation factor (more than 2.0 of orientation), high temperature stability (1.6-1.7 of a ratio of Hc-196° C. /Hc25° C. and only small content of Fe2+ which adversely affect to various characteristics (less than 1.0 wt.%) which has improved physical properties in comparison with those of the conventional ones.
The foregoing objects have been attained by providing a magnetic recording medium having said characteristics by incorporating a magnetic powder obtained by dispersing acicular γ--Fe2 O3 in an aqueous solution of a cobalt salt and reducing it with a reducing agent to deposit a cobalt compound on the acicular γ--Fe2 O3.
The comparisons of the magnetic characteristics of the recording medium of the present invention and the known ones will be shown in Table 2.
TABLE 2______________________________________ Co ad- Co adsorp- sorption tion Fe2+ Co dope type addition Invention γ-Fe2 O3 γ-Fe2 O3 γ-Fe2 O3______________________________________Hc25° C. (Oe) 550-580 650 -500 550-650Hc-196° C. /Hc25° C. 1.6-1.7 >5.0 1.6 >2.0Content of Fe2+ <1.0 <1.0 <0.1 3-5(%)Orientation 2.1-2.3 2.0 2.0 1.9______________________________________
The preparation of the magnetic recording medium of the present invention will be illustrated.
In the present invention, a content of ferrous ions (Fe2+) which are considered to affect adversely to a magnetic recording medium is decreased to obtain a magnetic recording medium having high coercive force, high magnetic flux density and high stability.
An acicular γ--Fe2 O3 is thoroughly dispersed in an aqueous solution of a cobalt salt, and a reducing agent such as hydrosulfite, sodium borohydride, hydrazine, hydrazine derivatives, and sodium hypophosphite and a base are admixed to result a reduction. The mixture is heated at lower than 100° C. to react them so as to deposit a cobalt compound on a surface of the acicular γ--Fe2 O3. After the reaction, the magnetic powder is washed with water and filtered and dried.
In order to obtain a uniform reduction, it has been considered to add a chelating agent, however, the addition of a chelating does not contribute to increase the coercive force and it cause to weaken the reducing agent to decrease the coercive force (shown as Reference). Accordingly, a chelating agent is not incorporated in the present invention.
In the present invention, a coercive force of the magnetic powder can be varied depending upon selections of a time of addition of the cobalt salt, a delay of the addition of the reducing agent, after the addition of the base, a concentration of a base, a concentration of a reducing agent and a time for heating.
The magnetic powder is incorporated in a binder and a solvent if necessary with a lubricant to prepare a coating composition which is coated on a substrate such as polyethyleneterephthalate film and dried to cure the binder with a curing agent. The binder can be nitrocellulose and suitable synthetic resins disclosed in the prior arts and the solvent is incorporated to prepare a coatable composition.
The present invention will be further illustrated by certain examples and references which are provided for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to be limiting the present invention.
14 Grams of cobalt sulfate was dissolved in (liter of water and 100 g of γ--Fe2 O3 was added and dispersed by mixing for 20 minutes by a homomixer, and 400 ml of 6 N--NaOH and 20 g of hydrosulfite as a reducing agent were added to the dispersion to react them for 20 minutes. The mixture was further heated at 100° C. for 2 hours. After the reaction, the product was washed with water and filtered and dried at 70° C. for 8 hours to obtain a magnetic powder.
The magnetic characteristics of the magnetic powder obtained by the process are compared with those of magnetic powders obtained by the similar process without an addition of the reducing agent or only the γ--Fe2 O3. The results are shown in Table 3.

14 Grams of cobalt sulfate was dissolved in 1 liter of water and 100 g of γ--Fe2 O3 was dispersed and 400 ml of 6 N-NaOH and 5 g of hydrosulfite as a reducing agent were added to the dispersion. The mixture was heated at 100° C. for 3 hours under stirring to react them. After the reaction, the product was washed with water and filtered and recovered and dried at 70° C. for 12 hours to obtain a magnetic powder. Magnetic characteristics of the magnetic powder were compared with those of the starting material of γ--Fe2 O3. The results are shown in Table 4.

(1) In a solution of 14 g of cobalt sulfate in 1 liter of water, 100 g of γ--Fe2 O3 was dispersed and 400 ml of 6 N-NaOH and 25 g of hydrosulfite as a reducing agent were added to the dispersion and the mixture was stirred to carry out a reduction. The mixture was heated at 100° C. for 4 hours under stirring to react them. After the reaction, the product was washed with water and filtered and dried at 70° C. for 12 hours to obtain a magnetic powder.
(2) In accordance with the process (1), except heating at 100° C. for 2 hours a magnetic powder was prepared.
(3) In accordance with the process (2) except delaying a time of an addition of hydrosulfite after the addition of sodium hydroxide, a magnetic powder was prepared.
Magnetic characteristics of the magnetic powders and the starting material of Fe2 O3 are shown in Table 8.

Product Description
Five years after the death of his wife, Sam still morns her loss. Depressed and bitter, he distances himself from his religion and his father who is a Minister. His estranged sister-in-law, Laura, arrives in town and he finds himself falling for her. Unknowingly, she becomes possessed by an evil demon. Sam's attraction blinds him to the fact that the spirit is taking possession of Laura and destroying them both. He must work through his bitterness and choose what he really believes in, as he battles for his own soul and Laura's life...TEMPTATION IS DAMNATION...
I have to say that there were moments during The Familiar where I cringed because I felt that the storyline would be ruined by a moment of cheesiness that the scene seemed to demand. However, Miles Hanon did not disappoint, as the film held to a superior quality level throughout. The opportunity to turn this well-crafted film into a disaster was avoided entirely, and Hanon s work results in 101 minutes of solid cinematic storytelling that deals expertly with extremely difficult issues. The viewer should be cautioned that this movie will cause a measure of controversy. Very few Christian filmmakers dare to take a chance like Hanon does with The Familiar. --Christian-movie.com

Skip to comments.CURRENT CHANNEL hit piece associates 30-06 hunting rifle with assault weapon threatening cops
Posted on 04/15/2012 8:53:20 PM PDT by JudgemAll
"AK47 is fuel to wars in world" according to commentator
(Excerpt) Read more at current.com ...
No mention of course that it is liberal communist culture which is the real problem of gang violence of cities.
AK47 is for pray and spray. Hope ain't a tactic.
.308 and spray.338 are better Long Distance Cordless Drills....
"Current"? Is that Algore's all-gay-all-the-time network? Or am I getting it mixed up with the other one?
They probably consider the M-1 Garand to be an assault weapon.
".308 and spray.338 are better Long Distance Cordless Drills"
ROFLMAO...never heard that one before!
"Long Distance...Reach Out And Touch Someone"!
Current TV may be dropped by major cable distributor for low ratings.
Currant TV doing a hit piece on guns? Who cares. Your thread has already had more posts than they had viewers today.
I just report what they really mean when they say "assault weapons" and other assorted languages. It's like an inside look at what their language is really about.
Indeed, they refered to bolt action rifles as they were speaking of assault weapons.
My point was that when a liberal talks about "certain guns", it means that judges can interprete whatever they want, and that liberals LIE ALL THE TIME. What they mean is any gun.
The reason for this is because liberals are paranoiacs and natural backstabbers. As a result of the chaos in their head, they have given up on caring or maintaining a "healthy pack", and, thus, they are looking for a leader to do the talking to them, because, if there is none to send them to the controled "Gulag by installments" that Obamacare is, they go crazy.
The reactions of crazies like Loughner or Trayvis are the examples of a liberal ashamed to be such dependent and yet incapable at the time of depending.
This is why they always are viewed as victims, ie. as "poor animals" who would if only we paid them taxes to watch TV in some sort of prison, without any responsabilities or "worries".
Looks like I see a Marlin 336 in my immediate future!
Did you just say that a .308 is a better long distance caliber than a 30-06 or a AK's 7.62x39?
Now, a Garand with a few en bloc clips of black tips is an assault weapon in my book.....a vest is no match for them.
Unless you're in the middle of the desert with a 1000 yard clear field of view, range isn't much of a factor in urban and semi-urban situations. Unless you're gonna pull a Texas University Bell Tower kind of thing.
Yeah and ran off nearly a thousand rounds yesterday of .308, 200 of 30-06 and 300-400 and about the same of .223.
Muh shoulder is killing me.
I'm going to the gunsmith today and get advice on a whole new stock that reduces recoil. maybe getting old. Don't remember shooting hurting so much.
And I can't stand the trigger on on it. that's getting a match grade installed too.
I'm not sure if you are aware of this or not, but people can discuss guns without contemplating killing sprees.
I would look into something like an EvoShield shirt before spending big bucks on a stock system.
Gee...thanks for your input, eversomuch. I commented on a comment about Garands, coincidentally, not directed at you.
Do you have anything worthwhile to say other than some lame ass comment about 'contemplating a killing spree?'......
An AK isn't a tack driver by any means (unless you have a Valmet version...), but I suspect it is more the people using them than the rifle itself that gives it a reputation for inaccuracy. After all, how much effort and ammo do jihadis put into teaching marksmanship and zeroing their weapons before they go out on to commit their banditry?
Remember, in most cases, if something doesn't shoot well it is the person, not the weapon. (There ARE exceptions...)
I also mentioned that most of America is neither urban or "semi-urban" (round these parts we call that suburban) which indicates to me that longer range rifles are still better than shorter range rifles.
Yep. The rangemaster came strolling by with this big grin and I started laughing in acknowledgment to what he was seeing.
Damn rifle was kicking my butt and after about 60-80 rounds I started laughing and pantomimed myself pushing my shoulder forward in anticipation of shot driving my rounds down 2-3 inches with each shot.
Frickin hurts and is made worse by having a torn rotator cuff on the order shoulder which gets operated on soon.
Sounds painful.
I had some sort of issue with my left arm that made it hard to hold the forearm of my shotguns and rifles, but therapy (a really good - and painful - massage among other things) got me through it and its mostly okay now. Still doesn't have the same range of movement, though.
Thnx. Just ordered.
Got the MRI results two weeks ago. Shows a Labrum tear and possibly a SLAP tear.
I have a semi-auto Romanian WASR, which is an AK-47 variant. Granted, its not an MOA weapon, nor will it group as well as my Chinese Type 56 (SKS). It WILL, however, consistently shoot minute of bad guy at 200 yards. Hitting a softball sized target at 100 yards is no problem, nor would be hitting a Taliban member at combat ranges. She does significantly better than spray and pray. Im a dedicated lever gun guy, but the AK platform is OK.
The ak-47 is a handy carbine not meant for working at extended range . If used as intended as a burp gun that can be used as a carbine by troops/folks taught to used aimed fire it is a handy little carbine.
But the key is the level of training in basic rifle marksmanship. Which is why gangbangers cause so much collateral damage . They point the firearm in the general direction of the target & bang away & trust to luck .
Perhaps look into a Knoxx recoil-reducing stock. I got one for my 870.
It's magic.
Every once in a while I consider getting a poor man's AR and I know I should but I get all excited about fancy guns and I go get them.
A friend remarked "Why do you need an $4,000 rifle?"
My reply "I do t need $8,000 watches but I love the quality, aesthetics and intricacy of something that is just beautiful. Besides, I don't have kids otherwise I would make different decisions on what I buy, as I would probably special d my money on the kids...if had any"
I'll probably buy one or two AK before rhetorically end of the year as I am looking for weapons I couldn't care less if they broke or somehow lost, perhaps in a boating accident ...
Saw that yesterday in my search. Looks promising. I'm gonna chuck the trigger as well.

Welcome to Milestones Jazz Club, since 1996 Lowestoft's premier
jazz venue!
Whilst catering to a
wide range of styles, Milestones highlights the more modern end
of the jazz spectrum in an informal, friendly atmosphere. From small
trios to 18-piece big bands, we feature everything from bebop to
hard bop, latin to fusion, cool jazz to free jazz. For details of
our next gig see below
World class musicians
performing in recent years have included Peter King, Don Weller,
Ingrid Laubrock, Henry Lowther, Jack Parnell, Jim Mullen, Roger
Beaujolais, Polly Gibbons and The Eastern Bloc Big Band.
Mingus Project
Composer, bandleader and double bassist Charles
Mingus (1922-1979) was one of the most influential figures in
modern jazz, producing soulful, exciting and volatile music, reflecting
the social and political issues that gave his work its bite. This
septet celebrates his legacy through the voices of Simon Youngman
(alto sax), Trevor Rowland (tenor sax), Chris Dowding (trumpet /
flugelhorn), Dave Amis (trombone), Andrew Lynwood (piano), Owen
Morgan (double bass) and Cath Evans (drums).
For those
uninitiated in the world of Mingus, listen to one of his greatest
albums, 'Mingus Ah Um', here
and there's plenty of footage of the great man himself here
Admission - £7 / £6 (concession)
we're in a recession. Now you can all know what it's like to be
jazz musicians".
Gilad Atzmon to the audience at The Bath Festival, 25 May 2008,
quoted in The Guardian (31 May 2008)
refrain will be coming soon: that's the part I like the best and
the abrupt way in which it flings itself forward, like a cliff against
the sea. For the moment it's the jazz that's playing; there's no
melody, only notes, a host of little jolts. They know no rest, an
unchanging order gives birth to them and destroys them, without
ever giving them time to recover, to exist for themselves. They
run, they hurry, they strike me with a sharp blow in passing and
are obliterated. I should quite like to hold them back, but I know
that if I managed to stop one, nothing would remain between my fingers
but a vulgar, doleful sound. I must accept their death; I must even
will it; I know of few harsher or stronger impressions.
From 'La Nausée', Jean-Paul Sartre (1938)
blues is real, its not perverted or thought about, its
not a concept. It is a chair, not a design for a chair, or a better
chair or a bigger chair or a chair with leather on ... it is the
first chair. It is a chair for sitting on, not for looking at or
being appreciated. You sit on that music".
Lennon interviewed by Jann S Wenner, Rolling Stone (1970)

Field playback experiments were conducted in the Kibale Forest, Uganda to determine whether three monkeys (redtail monkeys, blue monkeys, and red colobus monkeys) and one bird (great blue turaco) [1] respond with flight and/or increased vigilance to exemplars of calls given by potential predators (crowned eagle, chimpanzee) and [2] respond differently to food competitors vs. noncompetitors (black-and-white casqued hornbill, chimpanzee vs. red colobus). Because the chimpanzee is both a potential predator of all subject species and a food competitor of blue and redtail monkeys and great blue turacos, we also examined whether chimpanzee calls induced responses appropriate to potential predation or competition. Each subject species responded differentially to the calls of potential predators, competitors and noncompetitors. Thus, acoustic cues appeared sufficient for the detection of predators and competitors.

As the market moved steadily higher in the first four months of the year, traditionally defensive sectors, such as consumer staples, were leading the charge, while economically sensitive stocks were not doing well. Over the past few weeks, however, things have changed. Technology stocks and cyclical names have taken the lead, and even financials and energy are doing their share. Health care and other defensive sectors are trailing.
What was an arguable change in leadership before the May 3 jobs report is now a confirmed change. And change is good, especially in bull markets.
To be sure, many of the same technical conditions that supported the bear case are still in place, including rather happy sentiment and a bearish crowd that seems to have thrown in the towel. But other readings, such as the percent of stocks trading above their respective 50-day moving averages, have flipped from bearish to bullish.
LET'S DIG INTO the exchange-traded funds, starting with Technology Select Sector SPDR xlk 0.06486486486486487% Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 46.28 0.03 0.06486486486486487% /Date(1469739600069-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 6303038 AFTER HOURS 46.6 0.32 0.6914433880726015% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 26632 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.826352636127917% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (ticker: XLK). The tech ETF had lagged behind the broad market since last summer, and in April it even broke a short-term trendline and its 200-day moving average to the downside (see Chart SPDR-Technology). It seemed that this sector was going to be one of the first to exit the rally.
But on April 19, much of the market found a footing, and the tech sector reversed course to the upside. Not only did it nullify its chart breakdown, but it also started to outperform the market. Not coincidently, the gorilla in the technology room, Apple aapl 1.3501699854298204% Apple Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD104.34 1.39 1.3501699854298204% /Date(1469739600278-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 38111661 AFTER HOURS USD104.54 0.2 0.19168104274487252% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1758178 P/E Ratio 12.189252336448599 Market Cap 554740177134.879 Dividend Yield 2.1851638872915466% Rev. per Employee 1991690 More quote details and news » (AAPL), also turned its trend around. But if we look at other measures of technology, such as the NYSE Arca Tech 100 Index, we will see a similar, albeit more muted, change in relative performance for the better.
Tech may not be the top performer this month, but it is back in the hunt and that is good news for the bulls.
Energy stocks are also showing positive change in both relative and absolute terms. The Energy Select Sector SPDR xle 0.0149947518368571% Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 66.7 0.01 0.0149947518368571% /Date(1469739600033-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 10685557 AFTER HOURS 66.55 -0.15 -0.22488755622188905% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 177900 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 2.6172773613193403% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (XLE) just moved above the top of its three-month range after surviving a breakdown attempt last month (see Chart SPDR Energy).
Upward Bound
Since late April, the technology, energy, and chemical sectors have been on the rise.
The sector contains international oil companies, domestic producers, and equipment makers. But one of my favorite charts right now is from the big Chinese integrated oil company CNOOC (CEO), which is breaking out to the upside from a bearish five-month trend. While this stock has only perked up marginally relative to the market, it has turned higher on an absolute basis. This includes bouncing off support that goes back to 2011 and 2012, as well as moving above its 50-day moving average for the first time since December.

On May 2, the stock broke out to the upside from a four-month trading range (see Chart PPG Industries). What I like about the chart is that it spent several days pausing at the top of the range before making its move. This tells us that it was a surge in demand rather than continuing momentum that sparked the breakout.

These sector changes put some of the usual bull-market leaders back into the fore. Financial stocks, not included above because they weren't lagging behind the market in prior months, are also doing well.
Can the trend continue? Right now it does appear that the market is firing on all burners, albeit with short-term overbought conditions starting to form. The problem is that there hasn't been significant pullback of 5% on the Standard & Poor's 500 since this leg of the rally began in November.
As the old saw goes, no market goes up in a straight line.

Even though the best that horse racing can give the sporting world Saturday is a Double Crown winner with Curlin, I can still think of a number of reasons why the Belmont Stakes is always good.
1. There is no casino in what used to be the parking lot leading to the Jockey Club.
Just think, a horse racetrack that is a horse racetrack.
2. The race is a mile and a half.
Add a few yards for passing; that's a long way. It's such a considerable distance to race a horse, you almost expect to see a hedge, or a water jump or two, somewhere along the course. It's about the distance of one of my trail rides at a dude ranch in Wyoming where we followed a path along the Gros Venture River, which had big rocks in it.
Measure a mile and a half on your odometer and then imagine a horse running that far with others chasing him.
3. There will be more ball caps in New York than the living art-type hats that you found at the first two Triple Crown races.
When I lived in New York, we would grab an anchovy pizza and then take the train to Belmont Park. The anchovy is a small green fish that reaches a maximum length of nine inches. The herring is a less noticeable relative from the poor side of the ship wreck. The anchovy dines on plankton and fish larvae and gets its strong taste from the curing process, which includes being salted in brine. You don't have to kiss a person to know that he or she has had an anchovy this week. The only place you need to be to know that somebody had an anchovy is on the same train.
There's no better way to go to the horse races than by train. New Yorkers can do anything while moving quickly. Studying past performances in a crowded, loud or bumpy situation is a cinch.
At the rail at the Belmont Stakes, you are apt to see more Racing Forms than guest lists from a party the night before.
4. No excuses.
A race this long, there's no post position bias.
Traffic is hard to find.
Strategy is relatively simple: Stay on the horse. Stay on the lead or close to it. Then go.
5. No jockey controversy.
As baseball players are sending teammates to the hospital for stitches, and as Danica Patrick shoves a member of her racing team, pretty salty behavior from somebody who has gotten more mileage out of posing than driving, good sportsmanship prevails among jockeys.
Imagine the Yankees and Boston sharing a locker room.
6. There is the powerful illusion that classic closers have a great chance to win the Belmont Stakes.
Handicappers who have seen it all, and have actually conversed with too much of it, honestly think that if a horse closes well at a mile, and passes still more horses at a mile and a sixteenth, then he or she will be just the ticket at a mile and a half.
Just the opposite is usually true. The longer the race, the slower the pace, the less likely the leaders are to back up. Check the fractions. Check the charts. At a mile and a half, when the closers turn for home at Belmont Park, they'll start wondering where everybody went.

Eastwood's Underrated Western Masterpiece,
This review is from: Pale Rider (Snap Case Packaging) (DVD)
Pale Rider foreshadows the genius of Unforgiven, following a more compact and focused story than Eastwood's multi-Oscar winner. This one gets behind the myth of the Western hero by overlaying that archetype onto a preacher--the viewer has to rethink either his stereotypes about the clergy or his equation of violence with heroic action, if not both. Pale Rider doesn't take on the scope of Western folklore the way Unforgiven does, instead concentrating on a good vs. evil allegory in which a robber-baron raping the earth for mineral riches is equated with a rich boy raping a poor girl. Chris Penn is surprisingly effective as the "heir to the throne" for whom sex is just another expression of power. Pale Rider features some impressive visual passages, especially an Eastwood staple, an interior dimly lighted and all but blacked-out in contrast to daylight outside. Here, that effect supports a scene in which Eastwood's Preacher keeps the town baron "in the dark" about his intentions and loyalties. The shootout at the end of the film is exciting even while it is winking at and parodying some of Sergio Leone's more operatic moments of violent excess. This film doesn't have the broad ambition of Unforgiven, instead providing a closely focused, intensely sustained narrative world both realistic and fabulous in equal doses. In this widescreen version with digital sound, Pale Rider proves a real treat to recover from its undeserved obscurity.
