Please Pass the Valium
In today's New York Times, I learned that Roche, the makers of Valium, will soon be closing the doors of their New Jersey plant. In Valium's Contribution to our New Normal, Robin Marantz Henig writes:
Taking a pill to feel normal, even a pill sanctioned by the medical profession, led to a strange situation: it made people wonder what "normal" really was. What does it mean when people feel more like themselves with the drug than without it? Does the notion of "feeling like themselves" lose its meaning if they need a drug to get them there?
Ah, we like to question What is Normal here at Shrink Rap. Okay, time to pop my Xanax.

Fox Distorts Democrats' Proposal To Modify Filibuster Rules
Blog ››› ››› HARDEEP DHILLON
On today's edition of Fox News Channel's Special Report, Fox Business correspondent Peter Barnes reported on the efforts by certain Democrats to modify Senate rules regarding the filibuster. After airing the arguments in favor of modifying the rules, Barnes stated that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell defended the Republicans' use of the filibuster because "Democrats refuse to allow Republican amendments to legislation."
In fact, the proposal would guarantee the minority party the ability to offer amendments.
Senator Tom Udall (D-CO), one of the primary proponents of the proposed rules changes, states:
While many conservatives claim that the Democrats are trying to abolish the filibuster, our resolution maintains the rule but addresses its abuse.
"The third provision in the resolution is included based on the comments of Republicans at last year's Rules Committee hearings. Each time Democrats complained about filibusters on motions to proceed, Republicans responded that it was their only recourse because the Majority Leader fills the amendment tree and prevents them from offering amendments. Our resolution provides a simple solution - it guarantees the minority the right to offer amendments (emphasis added).
The New York Times also stated:
This situation would be resolved by allowing a fixed number of amendments from each side on a bill, followed by a fixed amount of debate on each one
Thus, the proposed changes to the filibuster rules specifically address McConnell's complaint that the minority has been shut out of the amendment process. But watching Special Report -- billed as Fox's premiere daily straight-news program focused on politics -- you would never know that.

Viking Fund Medalist
The Board of Trustees of the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, upon the recommendation of the Foundation's Advisory Council of anthropologists, has awarded the 2005 Viking Fund Medal to Dr. George Armelagos, Professor of Anthropology at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.
First awarded in 1946, the Viking Fund Medal continued to be presented to exceptional anthropologists until 1972. Reinstituted in 2003, the medal rewards a scholar still active in scholarship, pedagogy, and service to the profession. The Viking Fund Medal is given to an anthropologist who has achieved real breakthroughs in scholarship, as well as contributing in other ways to the field such as mentoring distinguished new researchers, creating new professional institutions, and developing new curricula.
Dr. Armelagos is a biological anthropologist whose contributions and numerous publications span the broad field of Anthropology. His special interests lie in the interaction of biological and cultural systems within an evolutionary context. Through his research in the 1960s and 1970s with Sudanese Nubia, Dickson Mounds, and elsewhere, he revolutionized the study of ancient disease in human populations by promoting an epidemiological approach and highlighting the evolutionary and ecological factors that are instrumental to the disease process. He has also done influential work on the evolution of food choice and the impacts of the agricultural transition on human populations in terms of health and disease. This work has resulted in a general theory of the evolution of human disease and the epidemiological transitions that have taken place throughout the course of human history. Through his work he has also encouraged a new generation of skeletal biologists to think about disease in prehistory in complex theoretical ways and back it up with good, empirical research.
One of Dr. Armelagos' main contributions is the central role he has played in the establishment, development and promotion of Bioarchaeology as a field that combines physical anthropology, medical anthropology, forensics, health sciences and archaeology into the influential multi-disciplinary discipline that it is today.

Eighteen months ago, when I started down the path of what would become our body of Personal Identity Management (PIDM) research, there were only a few customer intelligence professionals who gave much credence to the picture we were painting. What a difference a year makes. Today, privacy, data governance, consumer empowerment, and understanding "the creepy factor" are core to the conversations I have with CI pros in both marketer and vendor organizations.
At the center of those conversations is often the question, "Who are the players in tomorrow's consumer data ecosystem?" We've just published a report, Making Sense of a Fractured Consumer Data Ecosystem, that reviews the strengths and weaknesses of four existing vendor categories plus three emergent business models. These include:

Download Taking advantage of an integrated framework such as Security Connected and using COTS rather than GOTS technologies produces major efficiency gains. It is possible to get comprehensive cybersecurity that provides real-time threat visibility and protection at a reasonable cost. The right integrated COTS approach to security can meet all of a government agency's requirements - optimizing its security posture, reducing its spend, simplifying the operation, and meeting government cybersecurity requirements. We call that a good value proposition.

Greetings and welcome to the forum. Better is subjective. Without getting into the caliber debate, i would say put them both in your hands and choose the one that fits and feels better to you. Other considerations between the two you mentioned are:
P220 - Single stack mag (thinner grip width)
- only one caliber of ammunition to purchase
P226 - Double stack mag (wider grip width)
- with the .40, you can purchase conversion barrels in .357SIG (and use the same recoil spring and mags), 9mm (but you'll have to purchase a recoil spring and mags) but you'll have options for up to 3 guns in one
Those are the primary consideration, IMO, before you decide which to get. I have both, but mine are quite old (without rails) and as my P226 came in 9mm, I would have to purchase a slide as well as a recoil spring and mags to fire any other caliber. Any other questions or concerns, just ask. Good Luck which ever you pick. You won't be disappointed.

Isn't aluminum very malleable though? I suppose at the salt flats it wouldn't be an issue since there's not much risk of running over anything. I wonder how it behaves at those speeds/temperatures.
thats gotta sound nuts, a jet engine, a rocket, and a cosworth engine
one huge fireball if something goes wrong
this table of the X-15's fastest flights it appears they were all set at 100,000 feet or so. The atmosphere is about 1% as dense at that altitude as it is at sea level. Granted, the salt flats are going to have something like 87% of sea level density due to the elevation there but that's still 87 times as much air mass to punch through the X-15 had to deal with on its record setting flights.
We're actually getting pretty close to the land speed records closing in on the maximum low-altitude flight record, set by a privately owned F-104 Starfighter at 988mph in October of 1977. If these 1000mph land records turn out then we'll have an odd situation where the fastest land vehicle is faster than the fastest aircraft ever flow at low altitude for an FAI record.
The high speed wheels will be forged from solid aluminium, using low-risk techniques and materials that have worked well in the past
Each wheel weighs 95 kilogrammes, will spin at over 10 000 RPM and will be subject to a force of 50 000 G at the wheel rim..
The wheels are fairly straightforward ...but nothing is simple when youre planning to do 1000 mph!
No exotic alloy. Just billet aluminum, probably a very high grade type.
More info about the wheels:
Check out the different profiles they proposed to use. And the brake they plan to use is nuts.
HAVE/HAD: Mercedes, Porsche, Cadillac, Land Rover, VW (x5), Buick, Mitsubishi, Chrysler, Dodge, Nissan, Ford, GMC, Jeep, Fiat
WANT: Fiat 500C Abarth, VW Scirocco Mk1, Alfa Romeo GTV, Lotus Esprit, Audi TT, 240Z, Lancer Evo VIII RS,
Hudson Hornet, Porsche 964, Mini Cooper, Caterham SV, M-B CLS63 AMG, DeTomaso Pantera
I would have thought aluminium to be too soft for such high speeds...

The University of St. Thomas will partner with KIPP (Knowledge Is Power Program) in an effort to increase college completion rates for underserved KIPP students nationwide.
UST President Dr. Robert Ivany said the University supports KIPP's mission to prepare students for college.
"The University of St. Thomas looks forward to partnering with KIPP to provide opportunities for college-bound students," Dr. Ivany said. "UST is proud of its outstanding and diverse first-generation college students. At St. Thomas, we offer a number of resources to help KIPP students earn a quality liberal arts education that will prepare them for a successful career and a rewarding life. KIPP will also provide opportunities for our students to learn and work in a reciprocal way."
With this partnership, UST seeks to recruit and enroll five to seven qualified KIPP alumni for the 2014-2015 school year and 10-12 each year thereafter. UST will provide support to enrolled KIPP alumni throughout their time on campus. Beginning next summer, five to 10 rising juniors and seniors will be invited to take part in UST's summer programs at no cost to attendees. Additionally, KIPP Houston Public Schools will serve as an off-campus work study site for UST students, as well as observation and placement sites for UST students studying education.
"We are excited to partner with the University of St. Thomas, a local, private institution of higher learning," said Sehba Ali, Superintendent of KIPP Houston Public Schools. "At KIPP, our goal is to get our students to and through college; we firmly feel that partnering with a strong, academic, student-centered institution like UST will help us meet that goal."
Established in Houston in 1994, KIPP Houston Public Schools encompasses 22 free, open-enrollment charter schools that offer a rigorous, college preparatory education serving more than 10,000 students and an additional 1,000 alumni in college and beyond. As of spring of 2013, 94 percent of KIPP Houston Public Schools' eighth-graders were proficient in reading on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) test, and 82 percent were proficient in math. KIPP Houston Public Schools has approximately 8,000 students on its waiting list.
KIPP Houston Public Schools is part of a national network of 141 KIPP public charter schools serving more than 50,000 students in 20 states and Washington, D.C. More than 95 percent of students enrolled in KIPP schools are African American or Latino, and 86 percent qualify for the federal free and reduced-price meals program.
A report released this year by independent research firm Mathematica showed that KIPP middle schools nationwide are producing positive, significant and substantial achievement gains for students in all grades and four subjects—math, reading, science and social studies. Mathematica researchers found that KIPP achieved these academic gains with students that entered middle school with lower achievement scores than their peers in neighboring district schools.
KIPP's college completion rate is above the national average for all students and four times the rate for students from low-income families nationwide. KIPP's goal is to reach a college completion rate that is comparable to that of the nation's highest-income students.
The University of St. Thomas has 14 Kipp alumni, four of whom began this fall, enrolled and attending the University majoring in all areas of study. Name: German Barbosa Classification: Freshman Major: Political Science
Barbosa is looking to join ROTC and eventually become a Judge Advocate General lawyer.
Name: Elaine Flores Classification: Freshman Major: Environmental Science
As an environmental science major, Flores wants to make a positive impact in the environment.
Name: Kristy Trevino Classification: Freshman Major: International Studies
Interested in cultures that span the globe, Houston, one of the most diverse cities in the nation, is the perfect place for Trevino to begin her studies.
Name: Arely Vega Classification: Freshman Major: Pre-nursing
Vega is planning to join the nursing program and study a holistic approach to healthcare.
UST joins a growing list of KIPP college partners, including Brown University, Duke University, Georgetown University, the University of Pennsylvania and Spelman College. A complete list of KIPP's college partners can be found here.

I am 9 wks pregnant, this is my third pregnancy & I am experiencing severe constipation. I never have before this early on, is it normal? Could it mean twins?

I am 9 wks pregnant, this is my third pregnancy & I am experiencing severe constipation. I never have before this early on, is it normal? Could it mean twins?
Constipation is a normal symptom of pregnancy and because every pregnancy is different, it isn't out of the ordinary to have different symptoms. I had twins and I can say from experience that while I was constipated at times, it really wasn't excessive or out of the ordinary. However, I did have two friends that had a lot of issues with constipation (and eventually haemorrhoids) with their singleton pregnancies.
As noted in this article about Pregnancy Symptoms with Twins all of the "normal" pregnancy issues and sympotoms are just amplified with twins since your body is housing and growing two babies, so it could possibly be a symptom...
The best way to know for sure if you are expecting twins is to have an ultrasound done. In the meantime for your constipation make sure you are drinking LOTS of water. Also, drinking fruit juices such as prune or apple juice will help. You should also talk to your care provider if it continues or worsens.
Great post, DoubleSunshine. Drinking enough pure water is super important during pregnancy and can actually make birth easier.
Here's some good information on constipation in pregnancy. Hope it helps!
Warm regards,
Thanks a heap, I am booked for a scan next week & have seen my local care provider for treatment. Someone did mention it could be sign of twins so wanted to know more........next week can't come fast enough now that the thought is in my head!
Congratulations on your pregnancy audrie10 and would love it if you want to post back to let us know how you get on at your scan,
Just seconding what everyone else has said, constipation can be a normal part of pregnancy. The best way to combat it is lots and lots of water. You want at least 60 OZ a day.
Can't wait to hear how your scan goes!
I'm looking forward to seeing how your scan goes as well :) Be sure to post and let us know. Good Luck!
Thanks everyone will let you know how we go:)
Hi Audrie10 - sorry I've had an extremely busy week and haven't had any time to be online. It looks like you've got some wonderful answers from the other forum members. As previously said constipation can occur as a result of pregnancy (whether you have twins or not). Your ultrasound will be the only way you will know if you have one or more babies on board :). I will look forward to reading about how your ultrasound goes.

Not too many people know what difference you can achieve with canvas prints. Canvas prints provides you with a look and feel that is highly different from glossy prints.Canvas prints allow you to create a multitude of possibilities when you feel that the glossy print is limiting you. With canvas prints, you can easily turn your designs into actual works of art. You can easily transfer images unto the canvas without even lifting a paintbrush.
Canvas printing is easily done online. Usually, large format printing companies handle canvas printing as they specialize in accommodating a variety of materials to work with. Canvas prints is one among the many materials they can print on.You can start with an 8x8 dimension for your canvas printing or blow it up to a really larger the life scale of 58x100 dimensions. Printers use digital printing technology in order to print files fast, accurate and easy. Digital printing can print on a number of surfaces which other printing processes won't allow. This makes canvas printing an easy task.
All you need to do is prepare your file, which may be any design you can think of. It can be a photo or portrait, a digital art, artwork reproduction and the like. You can save it in the file format required of you by your printing company of choice.

Keifer Sykes, Alec Brown Named NABC All-District
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – After finishing off impressive seasons in 2012-13, Green Bay men's basketball standouts Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) and Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) have both been named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) All-District Second Team, the NABC announced on Tuesday. The Phoenix duo was recognized among the top-10 players in District 12, and both are now eligible for the NABC Coaches' Division I All-America Team.
Joining Brown and Sykes on the District 12 team were five other Horizon League players, including Valparaiso's Ryan Broekhoff, Detroit's Ray McCallum and Youngstown State's Kendrick Perry on the first team and Detroit's Nick Minnerath and Valpo's Kevin Van Wijk on the second team.
A 5-foot-11 sophomore guard, Sykes was the only underclassmen to be honored in District 12. The Chicago native shined at the point guard spot in 2012-13, leading Green Bay in points (15.9) and assists (4.3) per game. A three-time Horizon League Player of the Week, Sykes was voted first-team all-conference and to the Horizon League all-tournament team.
Sykes scored 539 points this season, the most scored by a Phoenix sophomore in program history and the eighth-most in a single season in school history. With 159 free throws made, Sykes also broke the Green Bay record for free throws made in a season.
Notching double figures in 31 of 34 games and scoring 20 or more eight times, Sykes ranked third in the Horizon League in points per game. Sykes also ranked fourth in assists per game (4.3), seventh in minutes played (34.6) and eighth in free-throw percentage (815). Through two seasons, Sykes has totaled 874 points and 247 assists.
A native of Winona, Minn., Brown had another impressive season in a Phoenix uniform and earns a spot on the NABC All-District 12 Team for the second-straight season. The 7-foot-1 junior averaged 14.1 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.7 blocked shots per game. Brown was named to the All-Horizon League Second Team and earned a spot on the Horizon League All-Defensive Team.
Brown became the program's 25th member of the 1,000-point club on Jan. 25 and was named the Horizon League Player of the Week on Jan. 27. He scored 20 or more points six times during 2012-13 and has done so 11 times in his career.
Among Horizon League players, Brown ranked 10th in scoring, sixth in rebounding, second in blocked shots and fourth in offensive rebounding. In conference play, Brown upped his scoring average to 15.6 points per game and 44.4 percent from long range, with both numbers ranking fourth.
In his 96-game Phoenix career, Brown has scored 1,218 points, grabbed 629 rebounds and blocked 215 shots. The versatile big man is one of just two players in Horizon League history to accumulate 1,200 points, 600 rebounds and 200 blocked shots in a career.

We - "we", being my colleagues and I - have been dealing with this problem in our institute for years. Actually they have had this problem for years, for I'm a newbie! Anyway, I believe a lot of other teaching institutes have faced this problem too.
It goes like this:
In our English Language Learning institute the levels are Starter, Elementary, Pre-Intermediate, Intermediate, Upper-Intermediate. The problem is when our students get to the end of Intermediate and especially in Upper-Intermediate levels, their progress rate decreases dramatically. This matter is particularly evident in our girls classes (our institute holds separate classes for adults - girls and boys). When speaking, they make a lot of grammatical mistakes and though they try so hard, they show very little or no progress. Now, I'm familiar with the concept of "plateaus" in learning languages, but can we put this problem down as a result of these plateaus. If yes, how come we don't have the same problem with our boy classes?
I had an "Upper-Intermediate 2" class with 9 adult students (all girls) and it's just finished. I don't really know what to do with them. Should I just fail all of them? Should I send them for placement interview (which I'm sure will result in them ending up in Pre-Intermediate levels again)? Is it even OK to do so, knowing some of them might give up learning English? Or should I let them go up hoping they might get better? You see, they learned the things they were taught this term, they made some progress, but the way they are right now is nowhere near the level they are studying!
PS: I assume it was implied that we have already examined other factors involved. The teachers are experienced and knowledgeable, the materials used are up to date and fun, the quality of classes, as far as the teachers can have a hand in it, is high enough, the students are satisfied and happy with what they learn (at least they say so in anonymous surveys), etc.

If doctors, researchers, and pharmaceutical companies have access to business intelligence capabilities, shouldn't patients, too?
Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System, part of the Department of Veterans Affairs, has developed a decision-support tool that lets patients search clinical outcome information based on the experiences of other people with similar medical conditions who live in the same area.
The tool, called "outcomes-based prescribing," is based on model data from the Veterans Affairs electronic health records system. A crowdsourcing component lets patients get feedback on treatment outcomes from other patients.

Epidermoid (ep-ih-DUR-moid) cysts are noncancerous small bumps beneath the skin. Epidermoid cysts can appear anywhere on the skin, but are most common on the face, neck and trunk.
Slow growing and often painless, epidermoid cysts rarely cause problems or need treatment. But you may choose to have a cyst removed by a doctor if its appearance bothers you or if it's painful, ruptured or infected.
Many people refer to epidermoid cysts as sebaceous cysts, but they're different. True sebaceous cysts are less common. They arise from the glands that secrete oily matter that lubricates hair and skin (sebaceous glands).
Epidermoid cyst signs and symptoms include:
Most epidermoid cysts don't cause problems or need treatment. See your doctor if you have one that:
The surface of your skin (epidermis) is made up of a thin, protective layer of cells that your body continuously sheds. Most epidermoid cysts form when these cells move deeper into your skin and multiply rather than slough off.
The epidermal cells form the walls of the cyst and then secrete the protein keratin into the interior. The keratin is the thick, yellow substance that sometimes drains from the cyst. This abnormal growth of cells may be due to a damaged hair follicle or oil gland in your skin.
Nearly anyone can develop one or more epidermoid cysts, but these factors make you more susceptible:
Potential complications of epidermoid cysts include:
You'll probably first visit your primary care doctor. He or she will diagnose your condition and outline treatment for your cyst. Options may include observation, incision and drainage if it is inflamed or infected, and removal. Occasionally, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in skin disorders (dermatologist).
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment.
Below are some basic questions to ask your doctor about epidermoid cysts. If any additional questions occur to you during your visit, don't hesitate to ask.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, such as:
Resist the urge to try to squeeze or "pop" your cyst. Your doctor will be able to take care of the cyst with the least risk of scarring and infection.
Doctors can usually make a diagnosis by looking at the cyst. Your doctor may also scrape off skin cells and examine them under a microscope or take a skin sample (biopsy) for detailed analysis in the laboratory.
Epidermoid cysts look like sebaceous cysts, but they're different. True epidermoid cysts result from damage to hair follicles or the outer layer of skin (epidermis).
You can usually leave a cyst alone if it doesn't cause discomfort or cosmetic problems. If you seek treatment, talk with your doctor about these options:
Minor surgery. Your doctor can remove the entire cyst. You may need to return to the doctor's office to have stitches removed. Minor surgery is safe and effective and usually prevents cysts from recurring.
If your cyst is inflamed, your doctor may delay the surgery.
You can't stop epidermoid cysts from forming. But you can help prevent scarring and infection by:

A 25-year-old woman riding a bicycle died Saturday after being struck by vehicles on South Dixie Boulevard near Radcliff Elementary School.
The Hardin County Coroner's office identified the deceased as Beverly E. Jeter, who lived in Elizabethtown but was in the process of relocating, according to Deputy Coroner John Clemons.
He expects the cause of death to be ruled as multiple blunt force trauma.
Radcliff Police Department spokesman Bryce Shumate said Saturday night that a bicyclist in the southbound lane of U.S. 31W was struck by vehicles multiple times shortly after 9 p.m. Saturday about 20 yards south of the school.
Shumate said it appears the bicyclist entered the southbound lane and was struck.
Clemons said a toxicology report will be done and those results will be back in a few weeks or a month.
Vine Grove Police, Radcliff Fire Department and Hardin County Ambulance also assisted at the collision.

I was flipping through the 2012 Forrester Voice of the Customer Award nomination forms the other day, and I realized that I've been unwittingly holding on to an valuable resource — all the advice that we asked nominees to impart on other voice of the customer programs. The very last of the six questions on our nomination form is, "What advice would you give to other organizations to make their programs successful?" We got some great answers from the 40 or so nominated companies, so I pulled together the top 10 pieces of advice. If you're looking for some inspiration for your own VoC program, look no further than the advice of your peers.
1. Build executive support. The majority of nominees offered this advice, and it's consistent with Forrester's own research showing that executive support builds a foundation for VoC success. Executive support helps CX pros put key building blocks in place, such as adequate tools to collect and analyze data and processes to systematically act on it. How do you build support? Prove the value of the program by demonstrating tangible business value. Track the results of service recovery efforts to save unhappy customers and aggregate the results of improvement projects initiated by VoC-collected data.

With a few discreet press and analyst briefings but no song and dance event (ahem, Foo Fighters), Barnes & Noble has unveiled its new Nook Tablets: the 7-inch Nook HD and the 9-inch HD+. The prices of the devices range from $199 to $299, depending on the size and memory configuration, which makes them competitive with the Kindle Fire and far cheaper than the iPad (although a smaller, cheaper iPad could erode some of the price gap). The devices are lightweight, with high-quality displays and fast performance, outdoing the Kindle Fire on several specs. They now come with a video store, with content for rental or purchase from all of the major studios, filling a major gap in the previous generation of Nooks. The Nook software interface has been completely redesigned. My favorite feature of the devices is the "Profiles" feature--when you launch the device, you see profiles that can be customized for adults or children, down to custom content, browser settings, and store recommendations. This is a long-overdue feature in tablets: Forrester's data shows that 49% of US tablet owners regularly share their tablet with at least one other person.
Walmart and Target, having booted out Amazon's devices, give B&N exposure to customers in 5,200 retail stores where Amazon devices won't be displayed.

Here's my current "battery":

Here's my current "battery":
Calibers include 22LR, 380ACP, 9mmP, 45ACP, 357Mag, 400 Cor-Bon, and 7mmBR.
Nice! :smt023
Good variety. Nice
I don't know what the one at the bottom started its life out as but I like it. I'm sure it bucks like a mule on crack.
Nice collection, the 380 Back-Up is one you don't see very often.
The bottom gun looks like a Remington XP-100 in 7mmBR.
Lookin' good!
I just made a pic of my handguns a while back but need to make another one. I should have the wife do it. She's a photographer but I just don't like hearing her get on me for all the attention I give to me weapons..heh
What model is that scoped wheel gun? That's pretty sharp :smt023 I really like the grips you have on your 1911's too. Lot to be said about some good wood.
Thanks for the nice feedback gents :)
Indeed that bottom "hand rifle" is a Remington XP-100 that has been restocked with a Fajen laminated number that I did a bit of reshaping to. The 7mmBR its chambered for fires a 120 grainer at 2,555 fps with a very flat trajectory. The Burris 2-7X LER scope helps ensure I get the performance this round is capable of. It is a single shot so having the bolt on the right really isn't that big of a deal. You grip with your right hand and place the heel of the stock in your left hand palm face up. That said when Savage introduced their version of a hand rifle, they did put the bolt on the left for right handed shooters.
The scoped 6" wheelgun is a 1991 Taurus M689 357 Mag wearing a Hogue Concalo Alves Checkered Monogrip and a Burris 2X LER PA scope in Millet rings on a Weigand ribmounted Scopemount.
The AMT 380 Backup II (SAO) is one that I've been quite lucky with. It has proved very reliable since I acquired it in 1997. I don't particularly like the 380 ACP round but you can't beat the concealability of this piece.
The 1911 grips are (from top down) George Mitchell's bookmatched zebrawood, Nick Ozanich's super curly makore, and Hogue rosewood. The Hi-powers both wear Craig Spegel presentation grips, cocobolo and Madagascar rosewood respectively. The 1986 vintage Taurus PT99AF wears Wayland checkered Bocote grips.
DevilsJohnson.... what grips are you using on your 1911s? Nice pic BTW :)
Here's another shot of just the JMB handguns
You got some nice guns. Tell me about the lower Hi-Power, it has a shorter than usual slide. Is this one of the "detective" kits that was for sale a few years back?
Thanks :) You've got a good eye. That is a 1994 vintage FM (Argentinian) Detective M90 pistol. Not a kit either. It sports a number of tweaks including Cylinder & Slide spring kit, trigger and safety, as well as my hand stippling of the grip front and back straps. The gun has been re-blued too. It's a great shooter and one of "those" guns that has never hiccuped from day one, which is remarkable considering its cost.
As an aside, SARCO still is selling the newer M95 version of the Detective pistol as well as conversion kits. I got mine new from a local gun shop.
Very nice collection sir!
However, IMHO you need a few more wheelguns perhaps a snubbie or two and a couple of nice single actions. :smt033
Very cool "Detective" Hi-Power.
Thanks! Over the years I have had other wheelguns including a Charter Arms snubbie and a Ruger SA. They were nice but ultimately didn't match up well with my personal druthers, usage, and comfort level. I'm much more of a semi-auto fan than wheelgun. And too as a sexagenerian, I'm pretty much set in my ways :)
Sorry for the late reply. I don't know how I miss some threads and not others. I think I'm getting old..heh
Most the grips I have on mine now are rather made by me or I've bought off an old guy that has an eBay store.
My Mil Spec has Elk that were hand made by a guy out west.
My LTC has a white cocobolo. The SS Springer has a set of hand made book matched walnut grips. The Colt officers are walnut wrap around things I found online and the PT191 has a set of Burk Buckeye but 'm going to be changing those to a set of Indian Rosewood I think. I just got a set finished up that I think might look a lot better than the ones on it now.
That's the link to a guy I've bought a few sets of grips off. He don't always get the best finish on them but the wood is fantastic and he sells pretty cheap. I refinished a couple sets and ended up selling them for a lot more than what I payed. And I wasn't even looking to sell..heh
I have quite a few sets of grips not on guns. I need to get them back out and look for something to put them on. Or at least give me an excuse to go gun shopping.:mrgreen:
Excellent collection you got there!
Thanks for the details on those grips. Ironically I've been looking at a set of white cocobolo grips recently. Yours look very nice :)
At the pricing that ebayer you linked asks and considering your qualifier about the finish, I'd sooner go to Ryan Payne aka Sarge43 (www.thefinergrain.com), Esmeralda (http://www.esmeralda.cc/), or other known high quality makers and spend my $65 or more there.
The guys that have the site gungripguys.com have a store there too. I've bought a few off them as well but have not seen anything they have made in a little while.
Yeah the old guy don't always get the best finishes but the wood is pretty hard to come by. He has got a lot better though than he was a couple years ago. I will pick out 2-4 sets then email him with an offer. After the haggle fest I can get them usually for about half to two thirds the list. I've got lately into just making them myself. That way I feel like I can be more inventive with the finishes. I have access to some pretty nice woods though with what's around me as well as some contacts with a couple floor and cabinet makers.
you have some fantastic grips on your collection. Nothing like a nice set of wood grips I say. I always though the plastic/rubber grips made the weapon look cheaper. But I"m a strange guy with some odd ideals..heh
The paucity of ammo and reloading components had me looking at the finishes on my guns. Three of the "JMB" guns I treated to Gun-Kote over a decade ago. The P45C/T evidenced a lot of carry wear and both the Colt and BHP slides showed some minor chips. Sooooooo..... off they went yesterday to Jack First for bluing. Asked for a "tactical" matte blue on the carry comp and a 400 grit deep royal blue for both slides. Didn't want a mirror finish on these, just something a step up :) I'll get them back in two weeks.
Got the P45C/T gun, BHP and Colt slides back today almost a week earlier than expected. The refinishing sure makes a difference :)
The stainless parts were beadblasted; all else blued.
These shots better show my stippling work.

Agroecology cools the planet - so why are Governments backing agribusiness?
Kirtana Chandrasekaran
14th October 2016It' a perfect win-win solution for World Food Day, writes Kirtana Chandrasekaran: agroecology that sequesters carbon into soils, making them more fertile, productive and resilient, while also supporting sustainable livelihoods and tackling climate change.

Libraries and tools/Linguistics/Applicative universal grammar
From HaskellWiki
1 Introduction
Applicative universal grammar (AUG) is a far-reaching approach in linguistics. Seeing its main goals (and comparing it to other approaches), it could be characterised as
- semiotic
- because it does not follow a "grammar vs semantics" view, and has a relational approach to understand sign and meaning
- explanatory
- wanting not only to enable us to write better natural language processing projects, but also to understand better how language works. Also ultimate questions (like explaining why the languages of the word show both deep resemblences and differences, or why children can learn such a difficult thing like language) are tried to solve
- universal
- because it makes a difference -- it separates two levels in understanding how language works: a common genotype grammar is underlying each language, enabling us to discover invariants and general resemblences, leaving the explanations of specific differences to the level called phenotype grammar
These levels in understanding language are the followings:
- a genotype grammar is common in all human languages -- AUG aims to find invariants, and to explain concepts abstracting away from concrete languages.
- phenotype grammars are responsible for special features of languages.
Attribute universal grammar uses many thoughts from combinatory logic.
References for this section:
- Bernard Paul Sypniewski's book An Introduction to Applicative Universal Grammar
- Shaumyan's Two Paradigms of Linguistics: The Semiotic versus Non-Semiotic Paradigm
(see them also below).
2 General resources
Bernard Paul Sypniewski's book An Introduction to Applicative Universal Grammar. This book does not require the reader to know combinatory logic.
The same author has also an entire homepage with the linguistical and AUG-related papers.
As an article describing what AUG is, see also Shaumyan's Two Paradigms of Linguistics: The Semiotic versus Non-Semiotic Paradigm.
2.1 Fragments
Sebastian Shaumyan's long answers to comments in Disc: Ungrammatical Sentences gives examples, thus can help at understanding the above mentioned materials -- by discussing the notions like meaning, grammatical vs syntactic etc.
Some other citings and fragments from Sebastian Shaumyan can be read here.
3 Details
Long-Distance Dependencies and Applicative Universal Grammar (written by Sebastian Shaumyan and Frédérique Segond) compares (presenting some advantages of the latter)
- combinatory categorial grammar
- applicative universal grammar
Linguistic Types and the Valence of Operators in Applicative Universal Grammar written by Bernard Paul Sypniewski. In case of problems, here is an alternative link.
4 Implementing these ideas
A Haskell application for natural language parsing, based on Applicative Universal Grammar (AUG) is described in Mark P. Jones', Paul Hudak's and Sebastian Shaumyan's Using Types to Parse Natural Language (if this link is busy, here is another location). The Haskell source code given by the article is full, it can be run by Gofer, and after a few modification, by GHC too (transpose must be explictly imported from standard library module Data.List, and class Text renamed to Show).

Stakes winners come from the powerful stables of Graham Motion (Miss Lombardi), Hamilton Smith (Sales Tax), Mike Trombetta (Spectacular Malibu), Chris Grove (Lexi Star) and Richard Small (For Kisses).
Miss Lombardi is the 8-5 morning line favorite. The 6-year-old enters the fray off two wins, including a come from behind victory in the Maryland Million Ladies, which was contested four weeks ago on the turf at Saturday's distance. The daughter of Unbridled Jet, who will carry Luis Garcia, worked last Friday (five furlongs in 1:01.20) at the Fair Hill Training Center in preparation for the All Brandy.
Two-time stakes winner Sales Tax (7-2) starts from the far outside post. She won both the Tippet and Jr. Champion Stakes and finished second in the Holly Stakes last year. This year she is winless in five races but does have three in the money finishes.
Spectacular Malibu (4-1) was another winner on Maryland Million Day, taking down the Distaff Handicap at seven furlongs on the main track. Prior to that start, she missed by just a nose in the Windward Stakes at Presque Isle Downs. Julian Pimentel retains the mount on the Malibu Moon filly, who has only been on the turf one time in her career. The 4-year-old has finished first or second in 10 of 14 starts.
Lexi Star (9-2) will only run if the race comes off the grass. The daughter of Crypto Star has won six stakes races during her career, including two at the distance. Grove indicated the 6-year-old will be retired after one more start. A win would boost her earnings to $612,624.
For Kisses (12-1) took the Monmouth Beach Stakes this summer and finished third in the Grade II Barbara Fritchie Handicap earlier in her 5-year-old campaign.
Small will also saddle Take a Check (15-1), who is still looking for her first added money score. The daughter of Touch Gold has earned nearly $475,000 in 49 career starts with 30 in the money finishes. The 6-year-old has been on the board in 14 of 26 stakes races.
Rounding out the field will be the Vincent Moscarelli entry of Pic Isabella and Baltic Lady (20-1), All Smiles (20-1), Ten Bolts (20-1), Gadget (30-1) and Clara's Song (30-1).
Sheldon Russell, the leading rider at the current stand who has been plagued with injuries that have repeatedly interrupted his apprentice year, was hurt again when his mount broke down during today's second race.
Russell made a gallant attempt to ease Mo The Tiger after the 2-year-old started to lose action nearing the 1/16th marker, but the colt abruptly fell and his rider tumbled hard to the ground. Russell complained of back pain, was quickly stabilized and loaded into the track ambulance.
Clerk of Scales Adam Campola reported that the rider was transferred to Howard County General Hospital for x-rays.
Russell's promising career has stopped and started several times because of injuries which took him out of action last fall, this spring and again this summer. He won a career-best five races at Laurel on October 4, 2007 and won four on September 27.
The 21-year-old leads Laurel the fall riding standings with 29.

Log in
Besides directing the library, I use the library; I consider myself a "power user" – one who uses many services and is here frequently, every day in my case!
I just read Telex from Cuba, this year's freshman book for K College; I browsed Not So Big Remodeling, even though there is no home remodeling in my near future; I loved Leisure Seeker and regret I missed the author's visit here a few weeks ago. I'm getting ready for a driving vacation and have checked out Admission and The Invisible Mountain. I think I'll like both, given the reviews. I have How to Raise the Perfect Dog for my husband to read….hint, hint! Of course I have a few travel books for the backseat of the car.
Earlier this month, I attended a poetry reading by Lori Wilson. I don't read poetry, but I enjoy hearing it. I heard local author Michelle Miller-Adams speak about her book on the Kalamazoo Promise and Bob Downes share his backpacking experiences around the world; I heard banned books read during Art Hop.
I could go on and on….suffice it to say, I'm proud of our staff and the materials and services we provide. I appreciate them as a library user too.
Come visit soon.

'Ryan Miller was solid in the nets making 20 stops for Buffalo. Toskala, on the other hand, was jeered by the Leafs' crowd anytime he made a save, which wasn't often. The Toronto netminder finished the game with 29 stops on 36 shots.'

Students attending the first home football game Saturday against Sacramento State at 1 p.m. are encouraged to get to Folsom Field early and enjoy all the gameday festivities.
A few of the pregame highlights include a visit to Ralphie's Corral, located just south of Benson Earth Sciences, where Ralphie herself arrives at 10:15 a.m. and will be available for photo opportunities. Or stop by to grab a glance of her until about 30 minutes before kickoff.
Stadium gates will open at 11:30 a.m., and just a reminder that it is first come, first serve seating so if you want to be in the first few rows, get there early to make sure it happens.
If you prefer to sleep in, please get in the stadium in time to see the best tradition in all of college football. Ralphie will lead the Buffs onto the field at the five minute mark or just about exactly right at 1 p.m. (actual kickoff will be at 1:06 p.m.).
If you arrive an hour early, you can catch the band performance in Ralphie's Corral before they head to Balch Fieldhouse for a performance at 12:20 p.m.
A few other reminders for gameday:
- A limited number of student tickets are still available! Please visit www.cubuffs.com/students for more information.
- Make sure your Buff OneCard is working! You must use it to swipe into the game and if it does not work, you will have to go to the Buff OneCard office to get the issue resolved.
- Outside the stadium, there will be enhanced enforcement by the Alcohol Control Board.
- If you are cited for a MIP or other offense, it will be reported back to CU Student Justice.
Please visit www.cubuffs.com/gameday for all pertinent information.

'"I love our team and I love our players," Mair said. "When you look at the young players we've signed to long-term contracts, you can see that Darcy and upper management believe in those players. It would go against the plan to deviate and start bringing in new players because we missed the playoffs by two points."'

'"I started out in the league as an offensive player, playing the power play in St. Louis," Hecht said Friday, Buffalo's first day of on-ice training camp workouts. "My second year I got shifted to the penalty killing line, and I think I made great strides in that area of my game."'
