How do I know which are strory mission??
I know this is probably a dumb question, but it's doing my head in and I can't find the answer! Probably because it's so bloody obvious! And massive apologies if this is someone else already but I have searched, a lot!
How do I know which missions are story related? Someone told me not to do the Leister missions (apart from the first one) until you've finished the story so you have more money to put on the stock market, so these obviously aren't story missions.
So which ones are, how do I know? ARGH! Is it just the ones that are the letter of one of the 3 characters? So either the M, T or F? Only only 4 hours in so a lot more to go I know, but feel like maybe playing the story through first is the way to go? With a few random events, strangers & freaks and hobbies thrown in for good measure.
Any advise welcome.

Definition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary
See also: County
From Anglo-Norman counté, Old French conté (French comté), from Latin comitātus ("jurisdiction of a count"), from comes ("count, earl").
- (General American, Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˈkaʊnti/
Audio (US) (file)

- A definitive geographic region, without direct administrative functions.
Usage notes[edit]
- In American usage, counties are almost always designated as such, with the word "County" capitalized and following the name — e.g., "Lewis County", rarely "Lewis", and never "County Lewis".
- In British usage, counties are referenced without designation — e.g. "Kent" and never "Kent County". The exception is Durham, which is often "County Durham" (but never "Durham County"). An organisation such as Kent County Council is the "County Council" of "Kent" and not the "Council" of "Kent County".
- In Irish usage, counties are frequently referenced, but like Durham precede the name — e.g., "County Cork" or "Cork" and never "Cork County."
- In Canadian usage, counties are typically designated as such, with the word "County" capitalized and usually preceding the name — e.g., "the County of Two Hills". Occasionally, "County" follows the name, as in "Sturgeon County".

'I don't know what normal is any more': Prince Harry reveals he saw seven-year-old girl killed by Taliban on his last day of Afghan tour
- Scotland Yard reviewing protection for Prince, 28, after candid admission
- Spent four months on deployment at Helmand province in Afghanistan

Home: Prince Harry arriving at RAF Brize Norton after returning from a tour of duty in Afghanistan
Prince Harry has admitted he 'doesn't know what normal is anymore' after arriving back in the UK from his second tour of Afghanistan.
The Apache co-pilot gunner has been on post-deployment 'decompression' at a British military base in Akrotiri, Cyprus, since leaving Helmand province on Monday night.
Harry landed at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire on a regular personnel flight but did not travel on with his unit, 662 Squadron, 3 Regiment Army Air Corps, to their base in Wattisham, Suffolk.
The 28-year-old said a seven-year-old girl was shot down by insurgents on his final day on tour, adding: 'Normality is a very ambiguous thing.'
He said: 'It was a hell of an experience. I'm really proud of the guys. It's very different to when I was last out there. I'm just thrilled to be back. A bit of blue sky in Cyprus, a bit of decompression, some comedy - and back to the snow. Four and a half months has gone very quickly.
'You get life experiences that you get nowhere else out there. The best thing about it is to be back. I'll be looking forward to getting back and seeing my family. Being away for four and a half months you forget what's happened in the news.'
He told Sky News: 'I don't know what
normal is anymore and never really have done.
'There's nothing normal
about what we've doing for the last four and a half months.
'In the last day that I was there a seven-year-old girl got shot down by insurgents. Normality is a very ambiguous thing. I will continue being myself. I will enjoy being a soldier.'

Returning: Prince Harry walks down the steps of a Royal Air Force A-330 transport aircraft at RAF Brize Norton
Prince Harry's Apache instructor will reveal tomorrow how the Prince once tricked foreign officials into thinking he was arriving on a later plane as they waited to meet him.
Former Apache Squadron Commander Richard Youngs will praise him as a 'very professional young officer' who is 'gregarious as all young officers tend to be' and 'absolutely dedicated'.
He will tell ITV's Tonight programme tomorrow at 8:30pm: 'My favourite Harry moment is when we went mountain flying in France and landing at Le Touquet airport and a big entourage (was) coming out to meet him.
'The French officer walks up to him – we were taking our immersion suits off and refuelling the aircraft – and the officer walked up to him and asked him when Prince Harry would be arriving.
'He, quick as a flash, looked back at him and said "he's on the next aircraft in", quickly smiled at me, gave me a wink, got back in the cockpit and we flew off. He's very quick.'
Harry added that he is hoping to carry out more Royal duties and charitable work back in Britain. and said he is 'longing to catch up with people behind closed doors - you guys (the media) aren't invited'.
Harry didn't go with the rest of his 662 Squadron, 3 Regiment Army Air Corps, to their base. St James's Palace said he left Brize Norton privately, but did not say where he was headed.
He said killing the Taliban is a job 'you would expect to do' as a soldier - 'a job for ourselves, a job for the guys left and right of us, and from my point of view, especially for the guys on the ground.'
'You get asked to do things that you would expect to do wearing this uniform, and it's a simple as that really.'
The 28-year-old is likely to have sunk his first beer in 20 weeks on the Mediterranean island, as troops are given four cans of lager to help unwind after an arduous tour in Helmand.
Last night it emerged that Scotland Yard chiefs are reviewing their protection for the 28-year-old after his candid admission that he has killed enemy fighters while abroad.
Returning: He flew on board a regular personnel aircraft - an Airbus A330 Voyager - and landed at the Oxfordshire base with his 662 Squadron, 3 Regiment Army Air Corps, at around 4.45pm
Interview: Prince Harry talked to Sky News after he arrived home at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire
The prince revealed on Monday that he took Taliban fighters 'out of the game' from the cockpit of Apache attack helicopters and admitted he 'let himself down' by romping naked in Las Vegas just weeks before his deployment.
'You get life experiences that you get nowhere else out there'
Prince Harry
In an interview to mark the end of his four-month tour of duty in Afghanistan, the third in line to the throne confirmed he had been directly responsible for the deaths of one or more insurgents as a co-pilot gunner.
The prince said: 'Yeah, so lots of people have. The squadron's been out here. Everyone's fired a certain amount.'
He also suggested he was better at flying helicopters because of his experience at computer games.
Candid interview: Last night it emerged that Scotland Yard chiefs are reviewing protection for the 28-year-old after he admitted he killed enemy fighters in Afghanistan
'It's a joy for me because I'm one of those people who loves playing PlayStation and Xbox, so with my thumbs I like to think that I'm probably quite useful,' the prince told reporters.
Former senior officers expressed surprise at his comments last night - and experts warned he had made himself 'a prime target'.
The shadow defence secretary suggested that Harry had been overly 'candid' in discussing his role in the fighting.
Dai Davies, former head of the Met's Royalty Protection Squad, said: 'Purely from a protection point of view, I think it was highly unadvisable for Prince Harry to draw attention to himself.'
Pilot: Prince Harry makes his early morning pre-flight checks in the cockpit on the flight-line at Camp Bastion
Another former senior officer, Glen Smyth, ex-chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, said: 'I think it would have been better for Prince Harry to have simply said he had been deployed in an operational capacity, and to have left it at that.
'The frank admission from Harry that he had personally killed enemy fighters drew a backlash from anti-war activists, some former soldiers and the Taliban themselves.
'He's obviously a young and brave man. He was candid. Perhaps he may have been more candid than the Palace may have wished'
Labour defence spokesman Jim Murphy
A 'spokesman' for the Taliban described Harry as a 'coward', saying: 'We have always wanted to capture or kill this prince, but he was mostly kept inside, safe, and in guarded places underground.'
It is unusual for returning soldiers with any kind of profile to highlight their achievements in killing enemy fighters.
Labour defence spokesman Jim Murphy said: 'He's obviously a young and brave man. He was candid. Perhaps he may have been more candid than the Palace may have wished.'
But Prince Harry was also praised for his bravery during a debate in the House of Commons.

Friday, July 10th – Tuesday, July 14th 2015: Vancouver Island : more than expected ….
The ride on the ferry from Prince Rupert to Port Hardy was long but the scenery was again just breathtaking – we even got the chance to watch some humpback whales; I just was not speedy enough to take any pictures, I'll have to work on that if I intend to increase my wild animal count ;-)
I again had the chance of talking to a nice lady sitting next to me; she was from Powell River coming originally from Hungary and used to have a restaurant before retiring – so there was a lot of interesting topics to talk about.
After a speedy check-in at the hostel, shortly before midnight, I got a really nice 2 person room. The other girl was not in, just her luggage and the backpack (on the nice big bed) showed that I was not alone that night.
But she did not show up all night, missed the expensive ferry and referring to the smell of her lugagge she spent the night partying.
So I had a nice and cheap single room and decided in the morning to stay another night. I took the chance of driving a windy road to Port Alice. Not much to see there but the ride was worth it anyway.
After that I again tried to sort out my luggage to a reasonable way of packing. Though I packed just a few things I have already realised I've taken too many things with me. First thing to do in Port Angeles therefore was to send some stuff back home.
On Sunday morning I took off to Campbell River. As it was not that far away I decided to take the longer gravel road – even though it was slightly raining. Didn't have any problems finding the junction but then it got somehow difficult. No road signs and my GPS did not know that nice gravel road. I just drove on and quite soon realised that it was not funny with the high pressure (meant for paved road conditions) I had in my tyres. So I just lowered the pressure and from then on it was REALLY nice driving. Different to what I'm used as driving normally off-road tyres but I am getting used to the "Heidenau K60 Scout" and it seems to be as good as I was told before. Somehow I got back to the highway – not exactly where I wanted to be - came out in the north instead of south, so I was traveling back towards Port Hardy instead of driving towards Campbell River. But I didn't care, it was a nice drive and I could train my off-road skills again – though looking like a pig meanwhile before getting back to the highway I tried the little compressor I had with me: and hey, it just works fine. Good to know! Means that from now on, I will always lower the pressure from my tyres when driving on heavy gravel roads.
After just a short night in Campbell River – next to my tent site three somehow symphatic motorbikers on a brewery-tour !!! and therefore with a sleeping habit that was quite noisy… I think they did not see the Quite Zone sign ;-)
In the morning I decide to shorten my stay on Vancouver Islands – feel like I need a different scenery now; had enough of mountains and woods and was longing to see the coast, the beaches of the West Coast. So I drove down to Victoria and booked a ferry to Port Angeles (WA) for the next morning. Victoria by the way is a really nice English looking like city where you can spend hours of just strolling around.
A last night at a cosy camp-ground next to the river…. The perfect ending of the first part of my journey. Vancouver Islands: almost 4000km driven so far and it just feels good to be on the road.
No real problems so far, people are absolutely friendly and curious about my journey; most of them admiring what I'm doing – not just because they think it is a brave thing to do at all and not just because I was traveling alone (as a woman) and not just because they had been afraid of all the "dangerous" countries on my way south but I also felt because they just never got the chance to do something like that; never crossed the border of their own country. I know that it is a privilege and I really appreciate having the chance to do it. I take every day of my travel as a gift and enjoy whatever is coming up.

This review is from: TP-LINK TL-PA211KIT AV 200Mbps Mini Multi-Streaming Powerline Adapter Starter Kit
Pros: I got this powerline adapter to ensure a more reliable connection to a computer furthest away from the wireless router. I would say the connection speed is almost equivalent to an actual ethernet connection.
Cons: On occasion the adapters may need to be reset, which is particularly annoying especially if the adapters are far away from one another (which if you are getting this, is probably the case). Despite being a seldom occurrence, there is nothing like getting on your computer to check something quickly to find the connection is gone. Holding the button for 8-10 secs on both adapters usually fixes the problem, but on occasion I have had to unplug them. There is definitely a lack of documentation. Holding the button on the adapter for 8 to 10 secs, does something completely different than if you hold it for about 20 secs, and there is no indication until you release the button as to what you have done.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Microsoft - 32GB Zune HD (PLATINUM)
Pros: - Screen and overall build quality is lovely.
- Interface is minimalistic and easy to navigate (not to mention it provides a bio, pics, and related artist information)
Cons: - No dedicated volume button
- The browser is pretty useless
- Almost no apps available
Other Thoughts: If you are a Zune fan you know what you are getting into, and the Zune HD is no exception. Its main selling point is as a music playing and discovery device. The browser is not executed well, and there are not many apps. So for those who are looking into getting a device for mobile gaming, or browsing move on.READ FULL REVIEW

Unsatisfied with its market position behind Verizon (NYSE:VZ) and emerging threats from T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS), telecom giant AT&T (NYSE:T), which has looked for ways to differentiate its services, announced on Monday that it was building a high-speed 4G LTE-based in-flight connectivity service for airlines.
The company wants to offer wireless services to passengers in commercial, business and general aviation. This is a market currently dominated by Gogo (NASDAQ:GOGO), which already has existing agreements in place with American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL), Virgin American and Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL). AT&T said the service will launch in late 2015. But given Gogo's extensive lead, including 6,300 business aircrafts already equipped with its communication services, it remains to be seen to what extent AT&T can emerge as a worthwhile threat.
During the press release, John Stankey, chief strategy officer at AT&T said:
"Everyone wants access to high-speed, reliable mobile Internet wherever they are, including at 35,000 feet. We are building on AT&T's significant strengths to develop in-flight connectivity technology unlike any other that exists today, based on 4G LTE standards. We believe this will enable airlines and passengers to benefit from reliable high speeds and a better experience. We expect this service to transform connectivity in the aviation industry - we are truly mobilizing the sky."
In an email response to the press Monday evening, Gogo spokesman, Steve Nolan said:
"We think it's validation on what a great business Gogo has created that some of the largest businesses in the world want to be a part of it. To compete in this business, we believe you need to be global and have global solutions and that's what we are focused on right now."
But AT&T is taking Gogo's services one, and perhaps several steps further, including providing customers connectivity solutions, such as cockpit communications, maintenance operations and crew services. AT&T plans to work with conglomerate Honeywell (NYSE:HON), which will provide hardware and service capabilities to deliver the in-flight connectivity solution.
AT&T customers now have even more reason to be excited. Recall, the comp kicked off 2014 with a bang after releasing first-quarter results that yielded it best subscriber growth in five years. What's more, its revenue and profit results edged above what everyone was expecting, dismissing notions that the company was losing ground to Verizon, while T-Mobile and Sprint were catching up.
AT&T reported $32.5 billion in revenue, easing past expectations of $32.4 billion. This was right around a 4% year-over-year jump. First-quarter net income came in at $3.7 billion, or 70 cents per share, up from 67 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. And when adjusting for special items - like the costs associated with its acquisition of Leap Wireless - earnings came in at 71 cents per share, beating the Street consensus by a penny, marking an 11% increase over the adjusted 64 cents per share reported for the first quarter of 2013.
All told, when you factor that AT&T raised its outlook for the rest of 2014, predicting consolidated revenue growth of "4% or greater" and free cash flow in the $11 billion range, this is one confident management team. Not to mention, the company projects 2014 adjusted earnings per share growth in the mid-single digit range.
With the stock trading at around $35 per share, AT&T still looks like a solid long-term bet. The stock, which has a 52-week high of $39, is trading at just 10 times trailing earnings. And even when we factor the valuation on fiscal 2015 estimates of $2.83, AT&T shares still trade a P/E of 12, which is 2 points below the industry average and 1 point below AT&T's historical average.
On the basis of free cash flow growth and potential margin expansion through efficiency improvements from the Leap acquisition, shares should trade at $40 within the next 6 to 12 months. But with potential growth now in in-flight connectivity services, AT&T stock now has bigger wings.

Winning the War, Losing the Peace? Britain's Post-War Recovery in a West German Mirror
This paper places Anglo-German growth after World War II in a long-term comparative perspective. Reviewing explanations of why post-war Germany is more dynamic than Britain, we evaluate arguments stressing institutional change, catching-up, and country-specific long-term experience. Examining competition policy and macroeconomic demand management, we find only a limited role for institutional changes and an impressive degree of institutional continuity in each country. Likewise, in inter-temporal perspective the scope for catching up between Germany and Britain is unimpressive. We find growth and productivity differences to be rooted in each country's starting position relative to its own steady state. During the 1950s, the British economy grows along a steady state established between the wars, while the German economy experiences a very pronounced rebound effect from the war shock. After its return to the steady state, German growth performance is very similar to that of Britain and by no means more impressive.

The web-only retailer is expanding its product line.
Paul Demery
CableOrganizer.com Inc., a web-only retailer of computer networking products and other electrical supplies, has moved from three separate office locations in southern Florida to a new 38,500-square-foot office and warehouse facility in Fort Lauderdale, where it employs 45 people, says co-founder and chief operating officer Paul Holstein. "We have room for growth," he says.
CableOrganizer, No. 450 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, has also been expanding its selection. The retailer added more than 400 new products last year, bringing its total to more than 42,000. "We're looking to fill holes in our product line," Holstein says.
Holstein and his wife, president and CEO Valerie Holstein, founded CableOrganizer in their garage in 2002 to sell an initial line of devices for organizing the electrical cables that power computers and home entertainment systems.
The retailer now sells a range of tools and testing equipment for managing electrical products and systems as well as computer network products, electrical supplies and home theater components. Among its most recent additions are digital projects for home theater systems. It now carries 19 product categories with a total of about 31,000 SKUs.
"On top of that, we're also looking to expand our product offerings into the industrial market by offering products that are either hard to find, or were, until recently, unavailable online," Holstein adds. New industrial products include street lighting poles, security cameras, and safety clothing and equipment for electrical workers.
But instead of just choosing from new products made available every year from its vendors, CableOrganizer is now taking a more active approach of monitoring what its shoppers are searching and asking for, as well as keeping abreast of what's new on the market, and compiling a monthly list of potential new products to make available on its site. "We research each product on the list, then hold a meeting each month and vote on which products to prioritize in our merchandising," Holstein says. "On a scale of one to five, one is do the product now, five is never."

taofledermaus has published a video tutorial on how to fit a Ruger 10/22 receiver, trigger and barrel into a $30 airsoft P90 stock and how to hook up the airsoft trigger to the 10/22 trigger at the rear of the stock. A very clever idea.
Steve Johnson
Founder and Dictator-In-Chief of TFB. A passionate gun owner, a shooting enthusiast and totally tacti-uncool. Favorite first date location: any gun range. Steve can be contacted here.
one word, Wow.
I don't know if i would do that myself, since it is a 30$ homemade stock,
But Damn is that sexy.
Ok im totally giving that a try. Thats awesome.
Ok, I'm going to give it a try. Should make my best plinker even more fun. I'll keep you all posted.
I might have to change my name to Kill Joy
But do you really want to trust a hunk of toy plastic
to house a real fire arm ?????
I have a Beretta CX4 Storm and its a whole different Plastic !!!
belive me I really hate wood stocks as much as the other guy
and I like the bull pup thing but lets get real
even a 22Lr shell will cause this shell to fracture then what ????
how much Duct Tape do you wrap around a pipe to make a safe Zip Gun ?
when will your 10yr son grab this toy and go play AIR SOFT!!!!!!
Truth a kid was just shot by a cop a few weeks ago
its this kind of stuff that makes Fire Arms owners look like
brainless Ya-Hoos to the people who want to Ban everything
Keep it up you are really giving them the Ammo they need to take all our Guns away !
Own Smart -Shoot smart -Build smart -Guns are not Toys!!!!!!!!
Let me start by saying that i airsoft a lot, and I shoot my real firearms a lot as well and those airsoft guns are made of some pretty good plastic. They are extremely durable. I have an fn licensed f2000 and a real fn fs2000 and you can't tell a bit of difference other than the airsoft gun weighs more due to all the internal parts. This p90 body will totally hold up to a 22lr. As far as a kid grabbing that gun instead of an airsoft gun than that's bad firearm safety!! That gun should be locked in a safe or cabinet with all the other firearms and in my house that's where all my guns stay and the only ppl with the key to the safe are me and my wife.
The plastic used in el-cheapo airsoft guns isn't really much different–if any, than that used in the $100+ Muzzlelite stock that looks cheesy. Since a .22LR has virtually no recoil, fitting the 10/22 receiver into a "toy" stock presents no negative issues, with one exception. It is possible to shoot the 10/22 rapidly enough to get the barrel quite hot which can be expected to have negative consequences if the plastic stock material is allowed to be in contact. As far as using the Airsoft P90 stock goes the entire concept actually makes sense. The Airsoft shell is large enough to house the 10/22 receiver, and once all fitting has been done the empty spaces can easily be filled with expanding foam as reinforcement…once done it will hold up to fairly severe impact with no problem. The main issue is the barrel. Ideally one should be willing to depart from mimicing the P90 look for the sake of superior field reliability and this means opening up the barrel pass-through and the entire top of the stock to bond in an aluminum tube "spacer" to keep the barrel away from the plastic. Forget the toy magazine look-a-like and simply open up the stock and bond in the large tube for cooling. There is still ample vertical clearance to mount a dot-style sight. The Airsoft P90 stock is an ideal base platform from which to work
hey taofledermaus. will you prepare a stock (without the ruger obviously lol) and ship it to someone if they were to pay you via paypal? i wouldnt want to try it and mess it up lol. please reply and let me know!
Since you have done a few of these. How about doing one for me. Say for a hundred bucks? give me a holler if you would be interested.
steve, I just posted the video. I did not make them.
Ten Commandments of Gun Safety
1 Keep the gun muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
2 Be sure of your target and beyond.
3 Never rely on a gun's safety.
4Gun should be unloaded until ready to use.
5 Wear eye and ear protection.
6 The barrel should be clear of obstruction before shooting.
7 Handle every gun as if it were loaded.
8 Keep guns and ammunition separate and in locked storage.
9 Avoid alcoholic beverages and drugs before and while using a firearm. 10 Do not alter or modify your firearm. Have your firearm checked regularly by a competent gunsmith to make sure all parts work properly
11 – stay off firearms forums unless you have some intelligent discussion to bring to the table
Maybe you should read the NFA rules on AOW and Disguised firearms and have a good excuse for the Police when they do the "Click Click" on you after they send the Dog into your house and find a Toy to be firearm ,and then throw the child endangerment charge on top as a slick layer to seal your fate .
Tell you the truth I don't care what you do.It seems you have a snappy comeback for all the truth ,
isn't really much different–if anythan .22LR has virtually no recoil,
Kinda ! somthing like that !Sort-of
given you fancey yourself as a "Poor Mans James Bond" folly that monicker
I wish you would stop misleading others on firearm safety
your whole concept and misinformation may also be leading you to a lot of legal problems ."that guy on-Youtube did it -and said it was safe !!!!"
why not save yourself all the hassel and save up $1700. and buy a real PS-90 ??
Have a SAFE and Happy New Year
If the fire arm is a 22 rimfire or just a rimfire for that fact, is no shorter than 26 inches in total length and the barrel is no shorter than 16 inches you are good. Im a police officer and that is per 12020 CPC. The idea you came up with is great and shows great potential on your part I hope you ignore the negativity and keep up with your project. I wish I had you as a neighbor,god would I have some cool stuff in my safe.
If your gun met the specs listed above any officer would be comitting a crime for a false arrest under color of authority. 1st amemndment applies in this country and no police agency is doing the click click on you, nor will they send in a dog either for this post.
By the way have you tried some milled fiber glass or carbon fiber with slow cure epoxy to add strength to the stock? food for thought.
Sorry for the spelling, I suck at it.
Bryan S
Wow.. I cant believe how negative and wrong you are on all of those points!
1. If done correctly, the firearm is not converted to an NFA firearm, as the overall length from reciver to tip of barrel is still 16.25″ on a stock 10/22. The overall length also falls in the requirements for a rifle, just as with the FN P90S.
2. There is no modification done to the firearm. None. This is fitting in a fancy stock, which is in some regards stronger than the strange bulpup ATI style stocks out there.
3. With the 10/22 receiver being fitted inside, there is no more risk of this blowing up on anyone than any other 10/22. Any modifications you make past that are up to you.
4. no one is claiming that the conversion body is still a toy. You remove the orange markings and of course treat it as you would any other firearm. To do otherwise is foolish and irresponsible.
Look buddy, if all you can do is heckle from the sidelines, using a fake name, then it looks to the rest of us people who try to make something with our hands as you are just jealous because you dont have the time or skill to do the same.
This conversion takes time, and if done right, works very well. the hardest part is the trigger, and a proper job of that can be done with some engineering and critical thought.
Or you could have all Americans following your advice, and that way we can all drive a ford escort and a Harley sportster, and only have a 1911 available as a pistol.
Looks great. I own a real P90 with 16 in barrel and love it. I just don't love the price of ammo. I'm still looking for a shop/website/machinist to make a .22LR barrel and magazine conversion for my P90 so I can shoot massive amounts of .22LR out of the same rifle.
Just a thought.
Bryan S
one of your largest obstacles will be the magazine, as the straight walled 5.7 cartridge stacks parallel in a magazine, and the rimmed 22lr stacks in a curved manner.
Crypticglitch dude. serously. quit being a fag. noone agrees with you. the weapon is legal it wont blow up it wont melt the plastic.
Stay classy.
james bradley
make a great plinker without the cost of the 5.7 ammo…. nothing more to this firearm than that of an archangel kit or the nazi zipper/mg42 kits.
Frank Lima
A ps90 looks like a toy to probably 95% of the population. Fact is if its secured and handled properly,i don't care if it looks like a deli sandwich pal.

Barred from international competition, Russia is training its athletes at a series of special domestic tournaments and banking on hopes a doping ban will be lifted in time for this year's Rio Olympics.Russia, second behind the United States in the track and field medal table at the London 2012 Olympics, was suspended from world athletics last year after a doping investigation exposed widespread cheating and corruption.As things stand, Russian athletes will be barred from competing, the first time Russia has missed the Olympics since the Soviet Union boycotted the Los Angeles Games in 1984 .Officials recognize there is little substitute for high-level competition in the approach to the Olympics and some are worried Russian athletes will lose out in Rio after spending months sequestered away from their their international rivals.Some U.S. and European officials, however, have said Russia has too many problems to overcome before the Games begin on Aug. 5 .ARAF's Butov said he was optimistic Russia would take part in the Rio Games.

Found at vintage shops/websites for my wedding:
Perfectly fitted 1930's morning coat, in amazing condition, for $126 including shipping from SavvyRow.com
Vintage silk plush top hat, some wear to the underbrim, made in Toronto, fits almost perfectly, $150 including shipping in original case, from eBay.
Beautiful, seems like never worn (pockets still stitched shut) dinner suit, made in Austria, virgin wool and 25% mohair. Sleeves need to be shortened, and going to have the jacket waisted, but a perfect fit in the chest and shoulders. Found at a vintage clothing store in Vancouver, BC for $140.post #70653 of 1387285/15/13 at 12:14pmpost #70654 of 1387285/15/13 at 12:14pmDouble post.post #70655 of 1387285/15/13 at 12:47pm

Hit a store at lunch. Couldn't leave this on the shelf. I have no idea if it has any value, but it was just too cool.
Crappy pic, but vintage morning coat: Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
78 years old and in immaculate shape.
About a 36-38 and available.

Hello gents this is ejay415. Firstly my apologies to everyone who messaged me regarding trades and sales. I haven't been ignoring anyone's messages but since my last post in this thread, I've lost access to messages and the ability to post. I guess I was put under a sort of ban that only allows me to log in without any posting or messaging capabilities. All my posts have only been in this thread. This happened after my last one here of a 15 robert graham shirt haul (had I known they'd be such detestable nauseating eyesores to warrant a ban, I wouldn't have ever posted them )
I emailed support regarding the matter multiple times to no avail.
Anyhow, fantastic finds everyone. I have a few to share from the past couple weekspost #70657 of 1387285/15/13 at 1:24pmQuote:Originally Posted by Ken P

Hit the store this afternoon and ran across a busted old J Press blazer with some Ben Silver buttons:
There's some wear to them, but they still look good. Will probably be the first thing I try to sell on ebay.
Strangely, it looks like Ben Silver doesn't make these for Cornell anymore.post #70659 of 1387285/15/13 at 2:28pmpost #70660 of 1387285/15/13 at 2:29pmpost #70661 of 1387285/15/13 at 2:30pm

Between thrifting and discount I have been forced into a serious culling of my wardrobe. Going through pants and you'll never guess what rolled outta my pockets...
Spoilered because the thrift tie in is tenuous at best but if you like poker... (Click to show)
A few years ago I ethrifted 400 of these from an archivist who worked for Miramax. They are the actual chips used on the set of the movie Rounders. I think that in the last few years Miramax has released the rest of the chips but at the time they were the only 400 outside of the studio.
The original seller had listed 200 of them in the poker chips section of e bay and was getting little action. I contacted him to make sure he wasn't sitting on thousands of the damn things and when I found out he had only 400 we struck a deal off ebay.
I placed a 200 chip set with a movie type collector in Texas for 12K and sold off the remaining $100 chips in two chip sets for $150 a set.
Or so I thought. Apparently I have one set left!
John Dahl, who directed Rounders, is actually down the hall from me right now. I'll have to see if he knows anything about how much those chips are worth.post #70662 of 1387285/15/13 at 2:30pm

Been keeping up with the thread while working the last week or so. Definitely helped the 12 hour days go by! Anxious to get back to at least my local shop... Saw both a Dunhill and Barbour shirt yesterday, passed on both. Dunhill was in good shape but just didn't seem worth it. Barbour was brown corduroy and was awesome, till I found discoloration in the cuff region. Blarg. Also saw a pair of well worn shoes with what looked like the CP sole from COS. First time finding anything remotely CP like.
It's weird, I feel like there are more record flippers out, and more records coming out. I was at a shop that doesn't announce when new carts are rolling out (some do) and I found a guy sitting in a chair with probably 30 records in his lap. FML, most looked pretty minty, didm't get to see what he took with, but did check his reject stack. He asked a few employees if there was more vinyl coming out they said maybe. He ended up not being able to wait, so the next stack was all mine.
Anyway- Recent grabs
Discos non compactos
Out of the blue still has the original poster and die-cut spaceship/space station cut out thing inside in great condition. I couldn't believe they'd survived the back room.
Ties- Spoo, you need a red tie full of aces? hahaHey why not (Click to show)
Loving the woven with a non-squared tip. Definitely going into my collection, hence not giving a fuck about the brand, though it's made in Italy. Woot. Canali was ridiculously thick, and while the pattern is a bit of a snooze, the feel/condition/colors of the fabric couldn't be left for 1.99. The VV... Any thread card sharks wanna trade a tie for a tie?
Saw this tie and while examining for internal tags...

Comebacks are a tough racket, so when Aston Martin announced plans to revive the Lagonda nameplate, we tempered our high hopes with a fair amount of skepticism. Perhaps that's a good thing. These first images of the Lagonda caused a collective sigh from the Autoblog crew here in Geneva, perhaps largely because it takes the form of a crossover – something we weren't really expecting (and something we don't typically associate with either Lagonda or Aston).
The Lagonda's return marks the 100th anniversary of the brand, best known for stately sedans and luxurious grand-tourers. Aston wanted an outlet to expand beyond sports cars and GTs (pay no attention to the Rapide in the corner), and the Lagonda's designers took that mandate and ran with it – some might say into a bluff-faced wall.
At its core, the Lagonda Concept is an avant-garde approach to the crossover we've come to know in seemingly thousands of variations. The front grille and swage lines are an obvious nod to modern Astons, but its near vertical nose, stretched headlamps and bulbous backside attempts to convey a mix of luxury and masculinity. The rear end strikes us as very Bentley, but considering the Lagonda's intended audience, that might not be a bad thing. All four 22-inch wheels are powered by a V12 powerplant of undisclosed displacement and output, and Aston envisions the Lagonda as a long-distance cruiser that offers its occupants a lavish, functional and tech-rich environment.
Aston Martin CEO Dr. Ulirch Bez wants to see the Lagona sold in more than 100 countries (versus the 32 A-M is currently offered in), with a focus on emerging markets in the Middle East, South America, China, India and Russia. While we have no problem envisioning the Lagonda rolling down the streets of Moscow, we're not sure that its reception will be as warm in Europe and North America. But then again, there's not much playing in this space, and that's the nature of comebacks.
UPDATE: We've just come back from Aston's show stand, and in person, the Lagonda Concept actually has a number of things going for it. There's no denying it is a massive, jarring vehicle – particularly in the context of the achingly beautiful Aston Martins that surround it, and it wasn't helpful that the tight display space served to over-emphasize its size, but the concept still has merit and looks decidedly production-friendly.
The commanding front end with its gaping grille isn't a thing of beauty, but it has presence and some nice detailing around the light fixtures, and it helps send an appropriate "Move Left, Captain of Industry Coming Through" message as seen through British rearview mirrors. The rear end is more interesting, with a formal roofline and mailslot rear window which the company asserts maintains a stylistic link to past Lagondas. In that spirit, the bustle-back rump looks like it could almost sprout a dickey seat or house a steamer trunk.
The interior is the most impressive thing about this vehicle, with luxurious perches for two occupants in the rear done up in white leather - a contrasting color to the driver's quarters, which is done in dark brown leather, a move to visually reinforce the separation of master from servant, as it were. The door panels are also particularly nice, with simple, robust lines and fixtures.
On the whole, the Lagonda would be hard to call "artful," and as a whole, the exterior looks faintly derivative. However, given the emerging markets that the company is pursuing with this concept – as well as the vacuum in this space for an ultra-premium vehicle of this bodystyle and rough-rough capability – we can see this working out... if global markets recover. -- Chris Paukert
