Reducing the spread of some invasive species into our lakes could be as simple as asking boaters and fishers to dry out their equipment, says Queen's Biology professor Shelley Arnott.
When anchor rope, fishing line and the boats themselves are thoroughly dried, the invasive species and their eggs will die, rather than spreading to another location, she explains. "It's such a simple thing for the general public to do, and yet it could make a big difference in the way that our lake ecosystems function."
Dr. Arnott's current research focuses on the spiny water flea, a small invertebrate predator that has invaded more than 100 North American lakes since the early 1980s, after being transported from Eurasia in the ballast water of ships. With graduate student Angela Strecker, she compared the levels of zooplankton – microscopic, free-floating animals that live on algae and are in turn eaten by small fish – in Ontario lakes invaded by water fleas.
They discovered that production of zooplankton in the warm, upper layer of water in invaded lakes was reduced by almost 70 per cent, compared to lakes that are not invaded. "This reduction in productivity was likely caused by the direct consumption of zooplankton by the fleas," says Dr. Arnott, an expert in aquatic ecology. Another explanation for this dramatic reduction is that zooplankton may have migrated to colder, darker waters, where they would be less visible to predators, she adds.
As a result there is less available food for the small fish that forage in surface waters, such as lake herring, which are in turn are eaten by larger fish, such as lake trout. Biology Master's student, Leah James, is now studying herring growth in lakes invaded by the spiny water fleas.
"What's really concerning is that the introduction of water fleas is having a huge impact on the flow of energy in these lake ecosystems," says Dr. Arnott. "It shows how an invasive species can disrupt the food webs of freshwater lakes by diverting energy and nutrients away from native organisms."
An additional worry is the effect of invasive species like water fleas on lakes that are only now recovering from acid rain, she continues. "When spiny fleas come in, it seems to hit the recovering lakes harder. They're just getting their zooplankton back and the fleas tend to hammer them!"
The combination of environmental stressors – acidification due to sulphur emissions, invasive species and climate change – can have a profound, negative impact on lake ecosystems. But the good news is that some of these effects, particularly from acidification, have been shown to be reversible.
And in the case of invasive species, the researcher notes, one simple method of prevention is to avoid transporting them on our boats and fishing equipment.

International security settlement structure expected to lower costs and risks
BlackRock's iShares has listed the first international exchange traded fund (ETF) in continental Europe. The iShares Euro Stoxx 50 ex-Financials UCITS ETF (EXFN) is the first in the region to have an international securities structure, which means it is the first to be issued and settled at an international central securities depository (ICSD). It is listed on Euronext's Amsterdam market and transactions are settled at Euroclear Bank. Market participants hope it will lead to growth in the European ETF market. "Adapting the market infrastructure to reflect the pan-European profile of ETFs should provide further operational efficiencies to issuers and liquidity providers, but more importantly improve on-exchange spreads and market depth available to end-investors," said Pedro Fernandes, head of European ETPs at Euronext. Historically, cross-border transactions in ETFs have been settled in several national central securities depositories (CSDs) with associated costs and risks. It is expected that the international structure will reduce the operational and trading costs of investing in ETFs. "We anticipate that this new structure will enable investors to gain easier access to one of the most dynamic markets while benefitting from reduced costs. This will help us in our ambitions to not only grow the market but also to increase market efficiency for our clients," said Gert-Jan Verhagen, head of iShares Netherlands.

ATLANTA, Mich. — Subaru Rally Team USA's David Higgins and Craig Drew won a frigid Sno*Drift Rally to take the first victory of the 2014 Rally America National Championship season Jan. 24-25.
It was a close 2:10.5 finish for Higgins and Drew over Rockstar Energy Drink Rally Team's Antoine L'Estage and co-driver Marshal Clarke, considering that getting stuck in a snow bank could change a team's fortune instantly.
L'Estage led Sno*Drift early on the first day, even having punctured tire on stage five. Meanwhile, Higgins dealt with overheating issues of his own and lost valuable time when his hood popped open and obscured their view through an entire stage. After the first service Higgins bypassed L'Estage for the event lead and never relinquished it. L'Estage kept within striking distance throughout day two in case the Subaru drivers made a mistake, but settled for second place overall.
"Last year Antoine hurt us really bad when he beat us on the last stage at Sno*Drift," said Higgins. "These difficult conditions can change so quickly and you never know what you are going to get. That just makes me pleased to set the year off and get the points in the bag. Now, I am looking forward to getting on the gravel at the Rally in the 100 Acre Wood."
Super Production's Lauchlin O'Sullivan and co-driver Scott Putnam took the class win and finished an impressive third overall. The class victory returns the 2012 Super Production champs to their former glory after a disappointing 2013 rally season that resulted in missed events and poor performance.
"It's great to make a comeback after such a difficult 2013 season," said O'Sullivan, "To come out and get this was a work in discipline, especially when there are four up-and-coming SP drivers to compete against. I had to drive in these icy conditions not too fast or too slow. I just had to keep doing my thing and not worry about what the others are doing. I just avoided that one 'gotcha' that could end it."
Dillon Van Way and Andrew Edwards finished in second place for their third consecutive podium stemming from last year since moving into Super Production from the Two-Wheel Drive (2WD) category. 2013 Rookie of the Year, Nick Roberts, with co-driver Rhianon Gelsomino rounded out the podium for third place.
In 2WD, Scion Racing Rally xD's new driver, Matthew Johnson, paired with co-driver Jeremy Wimpey took his first victory after spending four seasons away from the sport. Johnson was expecting a challenge from Ford Racing's Andrew Comrie-Picard, but the anticipated battle never materialized following Comrie-Picard losing 35 minutes from getting stuck in a snow bank.
"I'm really happy with this result," said Johnson. "I've been mentally preparing myself to get back in the driver seat for a couple of years and I'm really fortunate to have this opportunity by Scion Racing. They prepared a great car with a special engine for Sno*Drift, and it really paid off for the team. I couldn't be more excited for the rest of this year."
Comrie-Picard's misfortune helped move brothers Troy Miller and co-driver Jeremy Miller into second place for their first national podium. Troy Miller is in the hunt for the 2014 Rookie of the Year. Honda Performance Development's James Robinson and Jordan Guitar took third for their second 2WD category podium and also took the B-SPEC Class victory in the process. Robinson is the reigning 2013 B-SPEC Champion and he took an important first step in defending his title.
Erik Zenz and Dustin Masters won Friday's Sno Regional Rally, and Jon Kramer and Jared Lantzy narrowly won Saturday's Drift Regional Rally by 10.2 seconds.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Polls Plummet For Senators Who Voted No On Gun Background Checks
The backlash appears to be the harshest for Flake, whose standing in Arizona cratered following his "no" vote on background checks. With an approval rating of 32 percent, Flake is already among the least popular senators in the country, according to PPP. Fifty-one percent of Arizona voters said they disapprove of Flake, while a majority of 52 percent said that his opposition to the gun legislation makes them less likely to vote for him in the future. Moreover, a plurality of 45 percent of Arizona voters said they trust Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), who was one of only four Republicans to support the measure, more than Flake on guns.
Flake's vote drew even more scrutiny last week after the New York Daily News unearthed a letter he sent to the mother of a shooting victim in which he pledged to support stronger background checks.
It's not much better for Alaska's two senators, both of whom voted against the background checks legislation. There, the once-popular Sen. Lisa Murkowski's (R) numbers have taken a huge dip. Forty-six percent of Alaska voters said they approve of Murkowski while 41 percent said they disapprove. That's down from a 54 percent approval rating found in PPP's February survey, when the pollster rated her as one of the most popular members of the Senate.
Her fellow Alaskan Sen. Mark Begich (D), who was one of four red state Democrats to vote against the background checks legislation, fared much the same. The poll showed the junior senator with an approval rating of 41 percent, while 37 percent said they disapproved of his job performance. In February, PPP showed Begich with a 49 percent approval rating.
Thirty-nine percent of Alaska voters said the vote made them less likely to support Begich, who is up for re-election next year. The same percentage said they are less likely to support Murkowski because of it. Meanwhile, about a third said the failed gun legislation will make no difference on future support of either candidate.
In Nevada, the backlash against Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) appears less severe. His approval rating dipped to 44 percent in Monday's poll, down three points from PPP's survey conducted right before last year's election. Forty-one percent said they disapprove. Still, a plurality of 46 percent of Silver State voters said they are less likely to back Heller for re-election as a result of his "no" vote.
Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), whose national profile rose last year after he emerged as a possible running mate to GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, has seen an 18-point drop to his approval rating in the last six months, according to PPP. In October, 35 percent of Buckeye State voters said they approved of Portman while a quarter said they disapproved. Today, his approval rating is under water: 26 percent said they approve of his job performance in PPP's latest, while 34 percent said they disapprove. Fortunately for Portman, a plurality of 39 percent of voters there said his vote against background checks will make no difference on whether or not they support his next re-election bid in 2016, although 36 percent said it is now less likely that they will back him.
The poll represents the latest piece of evidence that lawmakers could indeed pay a political price for thwarting gun control legislation. A PPP survey released last week showed that Sen. Kelly Ayotte's (R-NH) approval rating slipped under water following her no vote on the gun bill, while a majority of New Hampshire voters said they were less likely to support her re-election bid. Conversely, a poll from Quinnipiac University indicated that Toomey has drawn a bounce in Pennsylvania after his sponsorship of the legislation.
For his part, Flake, who was elected to the Senate last year, has expressed skepticism that a single vote on gun control could hurt his re-election chances in 2018.
"That's the beauty of a six-year term," he said earlier this month, according to the Los Angeles Times. "I truly want to do something on this, but what has been a little upsetting is to hear people try to maintain that we were just caving to pressure, discounting any issues that we had with the legislation, with the language. That's just not right."

Playing a character rooted in his own background, and surrounded by the real-life members of his Minneapolis-based musical 'family,' rock star Prince makes an impressive feature film debut in "Purple Rain," a rousing contemporary addition to the classic backstage musical genre.
Playing a character rooted in his own background, and surrounded by the real-life members of his Minneapolis-based musical 'family,' rock star Prince makes an impressive feature film debut in "Purple Rain," a rousing contemporary addition to the classic backstage musical genre.
Pic captures the essence of the current music scene, and the colorful Prince persona, very well indeed. Fans of the performer, who went triple-platinum with his last LP and is already charted with his first single from the film's soundtrack album, will be mightily pleased. Well-shot musical sequences, doubtless intended for additional musicvid cable and TV exposure, should enhance the pic's drawing power. Director Albert Magnoli, making his feature bow, gets a solid, appealing performance from Prince, whose sensual, somewhat androgynous features are as riveting on film as they are on a concert stage. Supporting cast, drawn from the ranks of Prince-linked musical ensembles The Time and Vanity 6 (né Vanity), fill in the textures and cadences of the scene with convincing naturalness, and femme love interest Apollonia Kotero is a beautiful, winsome presence. Custom-tailored vehicle for the rocker spins the familiar tale of a youngster who escapes the sordid confines of his family life through music, ultimately becoming the better man and musician through the love of a "good woman" and the inevitable, self-redeeming confrontation with "reality." Musical and romantic rivalry with a competing musician, played by The Time's leader Morris Day, and "The Kid's" (Prince) struggles with his own psyche and family pressures flesh out the story with both wit and drama. The walls The Kid has built around himself stem from his home life, where father (Clarence Williams 3d) is an alcoholic, mentally disturbed musical burn-out who beats up his wife, Greek actress Olga Karlatos, and son in blind rages. The Kid sees his father's madness infecting both his music and his own personal life, and he tried burying himself even deeper in his music, with negative results to both. Father's attempted suicide finally triggers the emotional catharsis which frees both his music and his spirit, and pic wraps with a joyous mini-concert which should have young film-goers dancing in the aisles. Known for his sexually graphic musical imagery, most of Prince's songs in this film are relatively tame by his standards–and while the film is R-rated, nudity and language are only briefly vivid. Violence, including the suicide scene, is totally blood-free, a bit unrealistically so in the case of the suicide. Concert sequences, by Prince, The Time, Apollonia 6 and Dex Dickerson, are splendidly realized musicvid-type affairs, awash in purple-hued smoky lighting atmosphere and right-on camera work. Sound mix, still to be fine-tuned this week, is very punchy. Kirk. 1984: Best Original Song ScorePurple Rain

To address the gun issue sounds like he didn't have it on him because "he went for the gun" so much for the holster in the console or gun locker theory
Well, apparently in Detoilet, 2 + 2 does = 5

So, when and if you break down in Detroit... Do the right things... in the proper order
- Get the gun out.
- Make sure the safety's off.
- Lock the doors. Roll up the windows.
- Call 911.
- Turn on your flashers.
- Wait inside the vehicle for 15 minutes for the cops (or less, much less; for the robbers).
- If the robbers show up first.. you know what to do.

In Khayelitsha more than 30% of pregnant mothers are HIV+. This means that there are many orphans and abandoned children, and often they do not have an extended family member to take them in. The community also has very high levels of unemployment, crime and shack housing.
We provide a place in our children's homes while the children (about 60% of whom are HIV+) are nursed back to health and other difficulties resolved. When they are well and ready to fit into family life we find and then support a 'forever family' in the community.
Orphans that might have grown up with serious social problems are raised in loving families. Every year we place 20 orphans with foster homes and offer short term residential care to 30 children.

what kinds of changes have you noticed since you lost weight?
i was just wondering out of curiosity what kinds of changes people have notice since theyve lost weight?
can you see your feet now without bending over?
run a flight of stairs without catching your breath?
notice other people doing double takes now and checking you out?
less food cravings?
etc, etc, etc
Sun. Apr 13, 6:36pm
I have noticed that men are looking at me more now. They didnt used to look at me much and now they are doing doubletakes. I am kinda liking it. I can't wait actually to see how they will react when I reach my goal. :)
Sunday, April 13, 2008, 7:03 PM
Ugh, that kind of attention is actually making me ponder the advantages of being fat. Instead, I just wear baggy clothes.
I like that my joints don't hurt and my parents now look at me with pride rather than pain.
Sunday, April 13, 2008, 8:05 PM
Who wouldn't want members of the opposite sex looking at them and thinking they look hot? (unless you are homosexual, and then you still want to look hot to those you are attracted to right?) Isn't that a big part of why you want to be thinner along with the health benefits? Baggy clothes hides all the hard work and dedication it takes to get there. Damn right I am gonna show it off in a classy, confident way. I worked for it. And yeah, I am glad to see men looking my direction for a change. It's nice! :)
Sunday, April 13, 2008, 8:39 PM
Guys look, leer, comment ... whoopdeedoo, so twice as many men want to sleep with me now that I'm not fat. Maybe if they were more discriminating about who they sleep with, it would be a compliment.
Sunday, April 13, 2008, 9:57 PM
9:57 you have a really bad attitude. Poor attitudes turn men off whether you are fat or skinny and they can see it in the walk, talk, and under baggy clothes. Put some pride into yourself and your appearance. You never know what else might improve...
No offense, but weight loss doesnt sound like your only need at the moment.
I think a lot of us can attest to the fact that our appearance, vain as it may be is a big motivator for weight loss success. Many people do want to look nice because it gives them extra confidence when they go out into the world. I know it does for me.
Sunday, April 13, 2008, 10:13 PM
10:13, I wish all it took to turn a man off was a bad attitude, walk and talk. That just presents a challenge, and they all like the semblance of a challenge.
The only place I wear anything remotely revealing (tank top, to be specific) is the gym, because I live in a predominantly gay neighborhood so I know I'm safe.
I'm healthy and in great shape...just not into the superficial stuff.
Too add to the original topic:
I like fitting comfortably into cattle class on an airplane.
And I really don't miss knocking things off store shelves with my hips.

Every since I started working out and losing weight I've noticed a short! dent running down my stomach. The sort of athletic look that was hidden under the layers of fat. I still have a ways to go but it's definitely nice to look as healthy as I feel!
Sunday, April 13, 2008, 11:38 PM
I have ribs!
Monday, April 14, 2008, 12:14 AM
So many changes....
- shapely legs
- sleek arms
- sleeping better
- short periods and less cramping
- better attitude
- improved mood
And yes, the additional attention from the opposite sex is nice. I think of it as someone else noticing my hard work. Whether or not they are thinking about if they want to sleep with me, is not my problem. It's theirs...let them go take a cold shower! LOL
Monday, April 14, 2008, 1:34 AM
I love that when I go to the doctor's office, the nurses invariably volunteer that they can tell I work out because my blood pressure and heart rate are so low. I never thought that would make me happy because I was focused more on appearances, but what a perk to have medical professionals recognize and congratulate my hard work!
Monday, April 14, 2008, 9:25 AM
No changes yet
THis is a really god post for those of us who are just starting out, or who have hit a rut. Thanks for the motivation guys, keep it up!
Monday, April 14, 2008, 9:36 AM
Since losing weight, I feel more confident, sexier, younger, and just an over-all wellness.
Monday, April 14, 2008, 10:12 AM
Better skin and hair. My skin is brighter and seems firmer and my hair is definitely lusher with more bounce.
I'm at the head of the pack when we go hiking and havn't been passed on the trail in awhile - not that it's a competition mind you, but I have so much more energy when heading up that trail.
I lost the weight first with diet and then started toning, so without losing more weight - after I started toning I noticed my clothes fit way better (not necessarily much looser, but you could see that underneath them I was more toned). I wasn't so happy after I reached my goal weight until I had been exercising for a good month and you could start to see the 'toned me'.
My doctor just about glowed when she saw me after I'd lost the weight and started exercising. My weight, blood pressure, 60-beats-per-minute pulse, excellent cholesterol and ideal blood work had her just about giddy on my behalf - it made me think she doesn't see a lot of this in her patients.
My posture - since I've been more active and wokring on good form my posture has gotten much better. I'm surprised by how many people compliment me on it.
My teeth and gums are in better shape since I've been eating more fruits, veggies and whole grains and less sugar and sugary drinks.
I definitely sleep better! and I have more energy during the day. Because i sleep better I don't seem to need to sleep as much and the sleep I get leaves me more refreshed.
Monday, April 14, 2008, 10:26 AM
It's great if you think men are looking at you because you've lost weight and that motivates you, but what generally happens is that when you lose weight you feel better about yourself in general and just percieve that men are checking you out more than before. If you were fatter and you noticed that they looked at you, you would feel badly because you would assume they were gawking at your rolls. (On another note, why do men think it's acceptable to eye someone over like they're an object and why would you condone that?)
Monday, April 14, 2008, 10:31 AM
I went shopping by myself this weekend and was looking pretty nice in a new outfit (size 14--previous size 24) and I had men open doors for me, ask if I needed help, and one even offered a phone number.
let me just say i am feeling pretty sexy.
On the other hand, I know none of that would have happened if I was still a size 24, which makes me sad that the world has to be like that.
Monday, April 14, 2008, 10:35 AM
I was a size 22 and now am a size 4 and I look and feel great. What a difference to be able to wear different clothes I wouldn't wear before (I always hated my arms, believe it or not still do but not as much as they are finally starting to really tone up) so now with a little more self confidence I wear tank tops, lower cut shirts etc.
I think the confidence aspect is huge, this is something I've definately noticed since losing weight.
And yes, getting gawked at, regardless of it being vain, it's a huge boost to the ego and it hapens ALL the time now! As long as nothing comes from it, no harm done!
The last and best thing is having my husband's friends ask "how did you get such a hot wife??" Well, my husband knew me BEFORE the changes and I always felt like the fat wife in my previous life so it is also nice to feel like "arm candy" to my husband now!
Monday, April 14, 2008, 12:22 PM
WOW! 12:22 congrats! i'm right on your tail... I was a 20 and now I'm a 6. Isn't it an amazing feeling?
The thing that hit me in the middle of the night is that I am not running into things anymore. Like when you go through a door frame and the top of your arm/shoulder would rub against it. I don't know if it was because I never knew I was so big and I couldn't gauge the opening or what - weird.
Monday, April 14, 2008, 12:59 PM
Hi 12:59, 12:22 here, thanks for the comments and congrats to you as well! It is one of the best feelings in the world, now we have to KEEP it off!!
Monday, April 14, 2008, 1:16 PM
op here,
i am so glad to see people have had so many good changes since they lost weight. i personally like tha fact that other men besides my husband are noticing me now. i also noticed that when i do my daily walks now(about 3 mph) for 3 miles i can talk to my daughter at the same time and not be out of breath. ive also noticed looser clothes and its good to not to be breathing so hard that other near me can actually hear me breathing hard and i just generally overall feel better physically, emotionally and have a more positive attitude toward things
keep up the good work to everyone
Monday, April 14, 2008, 1:33 PM
First I have to comment on 8:05
I am not sure if that person is where I am but I am shocked at how insensitive you all are about 8:05's comment.
I don't presume to know what is behind their lack of wanting attention from men. And being Gay is not the ONLY reason a person would shy away from it.
I have always worn a fat suit for protection.
I was abused as a child and that is the only way some people learn how to cope with it. The ONLY way you can be safe. And even then sometimes it doesn't help.
I am right now in the middle of an emotional battle over this exact thing. I have lost a huge amount of weight and am beginning to look appealing to the opposite sex and it is terrifying. Yes of course I want a husband and how do you find someone but to be out among the masses. But The fear overrides the lonliness. Fear is strong. I am stronger.
And there are a lot of men out there that not only look but think they can touch even when you are minding your own business.
So please people don't put a person down for their fears, you don't know where they come from.
Things I have noticed,
I can tie my shoes now.
I can turn over in bed without getting out of breath.
I can move easier
And I stand taller. Not that I need to
I do have a tiny bit more confidence.
My clothes feel better and It gets so excited when I get into a smaller size.
I am able to wear prettier clothes.
And I am proud of myself.
Oh and best of all, I have found that I have a family that supports me in my journey and is excited for me and at the same time when I stumble they are quick to let me know that no matter what I weigh it is me they love and the weight doesn't change that.
Monday, April 14, 2008, 2:43 PM
Feel healthier and stronger
I don't get winded running up and down the stares
The doubletakes
The way form fitting clothes look on me
The way I look naked
Brighter skin
TONS more energy
Feeling great during and after workouts
Tone and muscle definition
Monday, April 14, 2008, 3:36 PM
2:43, I just want to say that I support what youre saying about 8:05. I'm sorry to hear you had to endure such a horrible experience. It could be something similar for 8:05, or it could be something entirely different. We can't know. Unfortunately I've encountered a lot of insensitivity on this forum because it's anonymous.
Does anyone know why its anonymous?
Monday, April 14, 2008, 4:00 PM
I had to post a comment, even if it's something that's hard to relate to. I'm straight, and I crave affection from men, but find all too often that the kind of attention I receive in public is not positive. It's often a leer, and/or a rude comment about my body, and a way of looking at me too intensely. I find it invasive, and insulting, and most of all scary. I'm 47. Men have told me I'm beautiful since I was 5 years old. In my early 40s I unexpectedly gained weight as a result of taking a medication. After several years, I'm back to my usual size but I can now see that being heavier effectively shielded me against the world. I felt and acted more substantial. For those women who have never experienced "bad" attention from men, I envy you. You really are so lucky! Please know that not all of us consider being noticed by men on the whole to be a universally good thing. Those of us who've seen "the dark side" may have a harder time moving confidently in our bodies when out in the world, and our clothing choices, and attitudes, reflect this. I'm single, working on my self-esteem, and I hope one day to have a mate in this life...until then, it's nerve-wracking for me to be looked at. I shield myself with an independent, "don't-mess-with-me" persona. Kind of an impediment to a happy love life, huh? I hope I've been able to explain it in a way that makes sense! Thanks for listening.
Monday, April 14, 2008, 4:33 PM
Kudos 4:33
I so agree. I've even been the big girl for quite some time, yet guys leer, and some don't take no for an answer. It can be hard to tolerate (yes I'm strait too for the insensitive posters)
Guys aside... the things I've noticed.
-better physical endurance.
-feel better
- I sleep fantastically now!!!
Tuesday, April 15, 2008, 4:05 AM
4:33...I hear you
I understand where you are coming from. While I was never sexually abused growing up, I was physically and emotionally abused by my father. Like you, I tend to cover up my vulnerability with a no-nonsense attitude. Men have been telling me I am beautiful since I was 10...my father always warned me about the wrong kind of attention from men. As a result I am always cautious about any man I meet and have put walls up to shield myself.
What my father did not tell me about was the right kind of attention from the right man. Every once in a while I get a glimpse of that and I hold on to it because know that one day the right one will come along and give me the attention I want.
However, until then I am learning to take the attention I get from men in stride. Meaning how not to throw up those walls and to just say thank you and keep moving. I am finding that men respond positively to that and those that do not, get the wall....Practice, practice, practice... :)
Tuesday, April 15, 2008, 4:20 AM
8:05 here...thanks for getting it, assorted previous posters.
The thing I miss about the fat is how easy it was to identify the assholes.
On the positive side of that coin, I don't get groped by strangers as often. I thought that would get worse as I lost the weight, but apparently it's only okay to treat a chubby chick like a substandard piece of fruit in the bargain bin.
Men staring and commenting and trying to get you in the sack for a 20 unmemorable minutes is not good attention. But when that describes 95% of the attention you get, it's just better to hide from all of it and risk missing out on the one in twenty that *might* be worth 5 minutes of conversation.
Tuesday, April 15, 2008, 12:10 PM
People call me Small!
ME? Small? never!
But actually I am smaller than I was and smaller than the typical US woman.
I have noticed that other people look BIGGER, so it must be true.
It feels good when my BF grabs my waste and says "you are so tiny"
My mom asked me recently, "so how is it having this new little body?"
It's new and I love it.
5'6" 150lbs
10-15 pounds to go.
Tuesday, April 15, 2008, 12:12 PM
having men eye a female who looks confident and looks good doesn't mean that it's all about sex. There's nothing wrong with looking at other people you are attracted to. And having a man look at me now that i've lost weight is good attention, doesn't mean I am going to sleep with him. And if I do, good for me!
Tuesday, April 15, 2008, 12:46 PM
I agree w/ some PPs that the doctor at my yearly physical saying that he can tell I am athletic and I am obviously in good health was great to hear! Also I had a massage and she said I had great muscle tone and my skin consistancy was good. Both times I wanted to say "who, me?"
Also, I have KP - a "incurable disease" where I get those red dots on my arms that look kinda like pimples (sometimes they have white heads). While there no "cure" my healthier diet has dramatically decreased the appearance. thank goodness!
Tuesday, April 15, 2008, 1:26 PM
Once you lose weight, you seem to fly instead of running or walking, Also, my knees, which have always been bad, don't hurt as often. I have always hated people starring, but contrary to previous posts, I have not been starred at more now that I've lost weight. Instead guys will come up and start talking to me. Remember, if they are disrespectful, you can use your new amazing body to beat them up.
Tuesday, April 15, 2008, 3:14 PM
3:14, I recently read somewhere that a one pound loss to your body is actually a four pound loss to your knees, that may be why your knees feel better. Sorry it's off topic but I had never heard of it before so I figured many of you hadn't either. I've lost 25 pounds in the last several months so that must mean 100 lbs off my knees. Wow!
Tuesday, April 15, 2008, 3:27 PM
3:14 here:
Yeah, I thought so, but I didn't know it took THAT much pressure off. And it isn't so off topic, thanks! Congrats, 25 lbs is amazing!
Tuesday, April 15, 2008, 3:40 PM
1210 i agree it is much easier to identify the jerks when you are heavier
Tuesday, April 15, 2008, 6:46 PM
Ok, I feel like I have to clarify. I am the first poster who mentioned homosexuals. What was meant by that comment if you re-read it, is that people (straight or gay) generally want to be attractive to those they find attractive. It was not an insenstive comment about homosexuals as 4:05 just said. I just said men in my posting because I am heterosexual.
Tuesday, April 15, 2008, 6:58 PM
3:27 Thanks for the info. I have lost nearly 200 pounds and I don't notice a huge change in the knees but I have a ways to go. But I definately do notice a difference. That is really interesting.
Imagine how awful what we put our bodies through.
Good for us for making the change.
Choice by choice.
Tuesday, April 15, 2008, 7:09 PM
I just love the every single day comments from someone, anyone, everyone, "oh you look great" "oh you have lost weight" "oh, wow" or whatever... I am LOVING IT!!!! :) I had someone say they saw me from behind today and didnt recognize me. I am secretly eating it up. lol

Internet Marketing And Publicity | Search Engine Optimization | Online Web, Video & Social Media Marketing
SEO and Press Releases
Press releases are a fantastic strategy for Search Engine Optimization. The search engines love content posted on the myriad of press release websites, primarily because it's fresh content, and I imagine it goes without saying, incredibly timely. Duh!
But clients always tell me that they have nothing to write about. Here is a great article from publicity expert Joan Stewart who shares 13 ideas on what to write about. I'm sure that once you read her article you'll have more than enough ideas on what to write about.
Of course, then you should distribute to as many press release services/websites that you can.
One of the biggest myths of press releases is that they must contain news. That was true two decades ago when we wrote press releases primarily for journalists and we had to worry about insulting them with trivia about our business.
But now that we post them online, mostly to pull traffic to our websites, we're free to write about whatever we wish.
Here, then, are 13 press release topics when your pockets are empty and there's absolutely nothing newsworthy to write about. They're excerpted from my free email course on 89 Ways to Write Powerful Press Releases. (PR people, take the course to sharpen your press release skills. And then use the tips below when you're scrounging for ideas to publicize your clients.)
Publicity Hounds who have a subscription to Expertclick, The Yearbook of Experts, which lets you post up to 52 press releases a year, will find these tips particularly helpful.
1. Take a Stand on a Controversial Topic
Controversial topics can include everything from the old standbys such as abortion and gun control to local issues like proposed zoning laws.
When you're done with the press release, generate extra publicity by writing a letter to the editor of your local or national newspaper. How to Use Newspaper & Magazine Editorial Pages shows you all the ways you can rally support for your cause or issue by using editorial pages, from writing letters to asking for a meeting with the newspaper editorial board.
2. Write About Your Blog
If you've started blogging for business, write a press release about it so people who want information on your topic can find it. Or devote the release to some of the things you mentioned in a specific post.
This blog, for example, helps people solve problems writing press releases, and I encourage people to submit questions to me. It also teaches people how to use social media sites to self-promote. I could write two press releases, or more, just telling reades about ways they can use this blog. You can, too.
Visit other bloggers who blog on the same topic, or a similar topic, and post comments at their blogs. By linking back to your blog from your comments, you will improve the page ranking of your own blog.
3. Lead Readers to Free Articles at Your Website
If you have free articles that solve people's problems, or entertain them, say so.
Are your articles arranged by category? Are they updated monthly? Do you let the media, ezine publishers, newsletter editors and bloggers reprint them? Do you feature articles from other industry experts?
4. Tell People Where to Find You on Social Media Sites
Smart Publicity Hounds use Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Quora profiles to position themselves as the go-to sources in their industries.
Do you post your photos and videos to Flickr? Do you have a YouTube channel chock full of helpful how-to videos? (Here's mine.)
5. Create Your Own Holiday
Create your own day, week or month of the year, or your own holiday, at Chases Calendar of Events. The listing is free. You can then use that holiday as a springboard to even more publicity.
The topic doesn't have to be serious. In fact, the more fun, the better. I love Doing Business in Your Bathrobe Day.
6. Make a Prediction
Predict something that ties into your area of expertise—or not.
Predict when gasoline prices, the stock market or interest rates will rise and fall. For fun, predict who will win the Super Bowl or when the first snowfall will occur in your area. Predict the winner of local or national elections.
7. Issue a Proclamation
Congratulate the local high school football team for winning a state title, or a local business for celebrating its 10th anniversary.
8. Write Tips That Tie into an Upcoming Holiday
Professional orgnizers can write about how to stay organized during the Christmas holidays. A child safety expert can offer tips on how to keep kids safe during fireworks season on the Fourth of July.
9. Identify A Trend You're Seeing in Your Business or Industry
You don't even have to think very hard to identify a trend you're seeing. How has your customers' behavior changed the way you do business? What's happening with your orders? Is your nonprofit serving more people in a particular age group or income level?
If you want to cheat, Google "Top trends in the (fill in the blank) industry" and write about one of those.
10. Comment on Breaking News
This one's easy. The news can tie into your business or industry—or not. If you're an expert who welcomes interview requests for radio talk shows, say so in the release. See 6 ways to tie your pitch to breaking news for PR and publicity.
11. What Event Are You Attending?
Most people don't think it's a big deal if they attend a trade show or industry conference. But why not turn this into a publicity opportunity?
Write a press release telling people that you'd welcome meeting them. Encourage them to ask you questions about problems they're facing.
12. Take a Poll or Survey
Sites like Survey Monkey make simple polling a breeze. You can also take a poll on Facebook. Don't forget to write a follow-up press release that reports on the results of the poll.
13. Explain How to Solve a Problem
Press releases offering tips and advice are often the very best for pulling traffic to your website. That's becauase you can dazzle readers with your expertise, help them solve their problem, and then link to a website where they can find more information about a product or service you sell that can help them even more.
What topics do you write about when the idea well is dry?
Written by Publicity Expert Joan Stewart. You can find more fantastic ideas for publicity at her website: http://publicityhound.net.

Jehovah {IPA : |dʒɨˈhoʊvə} is an English-language representation of "the proper name of God" in the Old Testament, the Tetragrammaton.[1] Representations of the proper name of God more commonly used today include Yahweh and YHWH.[2]
- And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord: And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them.
- King James Version (1611) of Exodus 6:2-3; other translations do not use "Jehovah" in this passage.
- "You cannot see my face, for no man can see me and live." Jehovah said further: "Here is a place near me. Station yourself on the rock. When my glory is passing by, I will place you in a crevice of the rock, and I will shield you with my hand until I have passed by. After that I will take my hand away, and you will see my back. But my face may not be seen.
- And Jehovah proceeded to answer Job out of the windstorm and say:
"Who is this that is obscuring counsel
By words without knowledge?
Gird up your loins, please, like an able-bodied man,
And let me question you, and you inform me.
Where did you happen to be when I founded the earth?

- Examining the innermost thoughts,
- To give to each one according to his ways,
- According to the fruitage of his works.
- Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: "Not for your sakes am I acting, O house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you profaned among the nations where you have gone."' 'I will certainly sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the nations, which you profaned among them; and the nations will have to know that I am Jehovah,' declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, 'when I am sanctified among you before their eyes.
Quotes about Jehovah[edit]
- Jehovah will rule as king forever and ever.
- That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
- King James Version of Psalm 83:18 Other translations do not use "Jehovah" in this passage.
- For you, O Jehovah, are good and ready to forgive;
- You abound in loyal love for all those who call on you.
- Anyone dwelling in the secret place of the Most High Will lodge under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to Jehovah: "You are my refuge and my stronghold, My God in whom I trust."
- For you, O Jehovah, are the Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all other gods.
- Jehovah has become King … He sits enthroned above the cherubs.
- Jehovah is merciful and compassionate,
Slow to anger and abundant in loyal love.
He will not always find fault,
Nor will he stay resentful forever.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor has he repaid us what our errors deserve.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So great is his loyal love toward those who fear him.
As far off as the sunrise is from the sunset,
So far off from us he has put our transgressions.
As a father shows mercy to his sons,
Jehovah has shown mercy to those who fear him.
For he well knows how we are formed,
Remembering that we are dust.

Slow to anger and great in loyal love.

His purpose was to get Jehovah's Witnesses to abandon their faithfulness to God and to support the Nazi war effort. But, to a person, we refused. At this Himmler flew into a great rage and cried these words.
- What a joy it is to know that Jehovah cares for the spiritual needs of all his people—even those on isolated islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean! Yes, as the psalmist says, "Jehovah has become King! Let the earth be joyful. Let the many islands rejoice."—Ps. 97:1.
- Geoffrey Jackson, The Watchtower magazine, August 2015
- If YHWH promised a holy land to his chosen people, they should expect more damnation than paradise. That would be consistent with the Bible's blood-stained stories, and that's the way we've always seen it on the news in my country.
- Aron Ra, "on the Israeli atheist convention", Patheos (January 13, 2013)
- The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge. Wisdom and discipline are what mere fools have despised.
- Solomon, Book of Proverbs 1:7, NWT
- The name of Jehovah is a strong tower. Into it the righteous runs and is given protection.
- Solomon, in Proverbs 18:10, New World Translation
- The one showing favor to the lowly is lending to Jehovah, And He will repay him for what he does.
- Jehovah, the Creator of the extremities of the earth, is a God to time indefinite. He does not tire out or grow weary. There is no searching out of his understanding.
- In the name of the great Jehovah, and the Continental Congress!
- Ethan Allen, in a reported reply as to by what authority he demanded the surrender of Fort Ticonderoga, as recounted in A Narrative of Colonel Ethan Allen's Captivity (1779).
- O the depth of God's riches and wisdom and knowledge! How unsearchable his judgments are and beyond tracing out his ways are! For "who has come to know Jehovah's mind, or who has become his adviser?" Or, "who has first given to him, so that it must be repaid to him?" 36 Because from him and by him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever. Amen.
- Watchtower Online Library: New World Bible Translation of the Holy Scriptures version of Romans 11:33-36; other translations do not use "Jehovah" in this passage.
- Jehovah, it seems clear, was once regarded as a devoted son the the Great Goddess, who obeyed her in all things and by her favor swallowed up a number of variously named rival gods and godlings — the Terebinth-god, the Thunder-god, the Pomegranate-god, the Bull-god, the Goat-god, the Antelope-god, the Calf-god, the Porpoise-god, the Ram-god, the Ass-god, the Barley-god, the god of Healing, the Moon-god, the god of the Dog-star, the Sun-god. Later (if it is permitted to write in this style) he did exactly what his Roman counterpart, Capitoline Jove, has done: he formed a supernal Trinity in conjunction with two of the Goddess's three persons, namely, Anatha of the Lions and Ashima of the Doves, the counterparts of Juno and Minerva; the remaining person, a sort of Hecate named Sheol, retiring to rule the infernal regions.
- Robert Graves, in King Jesus (1946)
- Jehovah and the Christian version of God brought about a direct conflict between the so-called forces of good and the so-called forces of evil by largely cutting out all of the intermediary gods, and therefore destroying the subtle psychological give-and-take that occurred between them -- among them -- and polarizing man's own view of his inner psychological reality.
- Jane Roberts, 1986

- - Safe to trim a very pregnant mare?
Safe to trim a very pregnant mare? I was told to never trim a mare when she could foal within thirty days. Because of foundering danger if I remember correctly. My mare is on 302 and due for a trim. They aren't horrible or anything. Would it be safe to go ahead and do it or should I wait?:? My farrier would come to her so there wouldn't be any moving her issues. Thoughts? |
It will be fine as long as she is easy to trim and won't fight the farrier. |
The person that told me was told by their vet to trim a mare within 30 days of foaling can cause a founder in them. Has anyone had experience with this or is it kind of an old wives tale type of thing? |
Why would they founder???? I tube de-worned my brood mares a week before they foaled. I would not trim a mare that has never been trimmed or, is a fight to trim. |
I would trim her as long as she is quiet. |
Just curious as to why a vet would say this? I was told by a well known big time breeder as well...so I want to be 100% sure. I know horses can founder for many reasons....Im just not sure what/if anything the vet was basing this on. |
I have had my mares trimmed within a week of foaling if they were due. All of my mares are quiet and good to handle. I would rather trim them right before foaling, instead of shortly after. Most mares will be very protective of their foals for the first couple of weeks after birth, and it is not worth stressing the mare or the foal, or even trying to keep the mare still if she is worried about where baby is. I have never had a problem and have never heard of having any problem with founder by trimming at this stage. |
Never heard of the founder thing but I just had Inanna done. She was protective of her back feet so they were not done even though they need it. My farrier said he would just get them sometime after the baby. |

Allenstown robbery suspect found by marshals in basement
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) � Members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force have arrested a New Hampshire woman in a Manchester basement who was sought on a robbery charge.
They say 32-year-old Chrystal Bilodeau was wanted on a warrant by the Allenstown Police Department for allegedly committing the robbery at the Bi-Wise Market on Dec. 9.
They said they learned Bilodeau was possibly staying with someone in Manchester and they saw her car there. When police arrived, they said the occupants delayed opening the door. Police found Bilodeau hiding behind a water heater.
During the arrest, police said another occupant, Carlos Claudio, was identified as a felon and was found to be in possession of controlled substances and firearms. He also was arrested.

New Reality Show for Joel Osteen with Producer of 'Survivor' Mark Burnett
New Reality Show for Joel Osteen with Producer of 'Survivor' Mark Burnett
It never fails to surprise us what these larger than life, 'Hollywood' spirit-filled, holy cash preachers do these days. It's not enough that preachers like Osteen have gained everything off the backs of Christians but have to tap into anything secular to gain even more money and support. SMH.
Read report below:
"Survivor" producer Mark Burnett is teaming up with Joel Osteen for a primetime network show in 2012, TMZ has learned.Burnett tells TMZ, the premise of the show is that ordinary people will give up several days or longer to go on a mission with Joel Osteen, one of the most popular pastors in the world. All of the missions will be in the confines of US soil to "start fixing things."
Over the years, "just about every studio in Hollywood" has pitched show ideas to the Osteens, but they've always turned them down, until now, said Don Iloff, Lakewood spokesman.
The Osteens have been friends with Burnett and his wife Roma Downey, who are Christians and have visited Lakewood in the past, and they trust Burnett's vision and expertise in the reality TV medium.
The program is in its early planning stages and has not secured a network to air it or even a name yet. The Osteen ministry team hopes it provides uplifting, positive programming that will bring families together to watch.

James @ The Next Chapter bought himself a .22 / .410 M6 Scout take down rifle.
Taken down and packed for transport.
More photos and information at The Next Chapter.
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.
Do they Still make this rifle? I've been trying to get one for ages in Australia and they say that Springfield has stop makeing them.
Ben, not anymore.
I have one of the type, bought decades back from the back end of a BoysLife magazine. I dragged that weapon all through my scouting career doing hiking, camping, and doing rat patrol at summer camp.
On long hikes it kept us in fresh meat, as our Scoutmaster made it a priority that we live off the land effectivly. That and if we didn't kill it, we couldn't eat it. Made us respect the vittles being cooked up over the campfire in the open spaces of North Dakota.
Damn, now I have a hankering for muskrat stew.
Fond memories or not, this was still back in the days of the Cold War and we were expected to run off into the woods to hide and make life hell for the Ruskies. Very interesting memories these days, I gotta say.
I gave my piece to my nephew who continues the Scouting tradition and he sends me back photos of what he's stalked and killed on his own. I'm still not sure how the hell he bagged a wild turkey with a .22. Lucky devil.
A quick inspection of Gunbroker does not seem to show any in that nifty little case you have there. I think I want one of these little plinkers but don't want to pay more than $400 for a NIB parkerized one. Maybe $450 for stainless…
Cool, do you know its rate of fire?
Darn! I'll have to look around the second hand section of the gun traders then.
Valhalla Its an under and over the rate of fire is as fast as you can reload it.
Does anyone know what the twist rate on its rifling is?
I got one when I was 17 for $189, of course had to go and lose the manual. Mine didn't come with a case, just a cardboard box at a local gun dealer. It is an exceptional rifle. I love it for day-long adventures. It's light enough you can carry it all day with no trouble. I just mounted a compact scope to see if I can improve accuracy. I don't do to well with a peep sight. Wish there was an open rear bead front setup.
This gun has always been on "my list." Strange "trigger" design for use with gloves. There's nothing else out there this compact, other than the AR7, but you don't get the handy .410. A .410 slug is a very nice little round.
Someone will make this again…
If anyone is interested in buying a M6 for a reasonable price, you can find them on http://www.XDpistols.com. Just use their search engine. They only mail nationally tho. Happy hunting:)
does anyone know where to get the 22lr/410 for a good price?
Earlier I had said to check XDpistols.com, my mistake:( However, apparently they must not know that Springfield no longer makes these, because I recieved an email from then saying 'we're waiting to hear back from them (springfield) about production'.. After that I canceled my backorder and ended up buying a 22 hornet model off Auction Arms.com for $341.00. I would suggest to do the same, online auctions that is.
Collector firearms has one Stainless Steel.Go to their home page the click on the long gun tab on the left side.
Hope That Helps
Ben, I reside in Australia and have a Springfield M6 Scout that has fired less than a dozen shots. I really don't have the need to keep and would be willing to sell, if interest.
i got my m6 from my sister she got it from her dad after he got cought by the cops and killed you can look him up mike cleary he was on a.m.w. top 10 list for a while back in 99-00 i think but anyway its a .22lr can i use a .22 in it ive never shot it before its been like 9 years since i got it and for some reason i realy want to use it now and someone said he giv me a bunch of .22 ammo so just wonderin
most .22 ammo is .22lr or .22 short. Both are available anywhere ammo is sold. .22 short is simply a shorter .22lr and should work fine in an M6. Chances are any .22 ammo will be .22lr. If it fits in the gun it is most likely safe to use.
That last comment only applies to .22s
if anyone has an m6 socut for sale in australia drop me a line at talyn_x5 [ at ]] hotmail [.] com
James, I live in Australia and have a Springfield M6 Scout that I do not use and would be willing to consider selling. It is in excellent ('as new') condition with 410 & 22 Hornet with approx. six 410 shells and twelve 22 shells put through the M6 since purchase.
I have sent you an e-mail as requested with greater details.
Wade, is the M6 still for sell? I live in Luxembourg and might be interested, depending on the price you suggest 😉
hi ! still looking for an M6 Scout ? ì live in Belgium and might sell mine (22LR over .410 cal)
Fabrice, yes I would sell if I get a reasonable offer otherwise I will retain. I am not sure about the ability to export a firearm from Australia to Luxembourg and I would need to investigate further. The M6 Scout I have is stainless steel and I have checked and has had two (2) 410 shells fired and ten (10) 22 hornet shells fired, so as close to new as you can get. Still in original box. Selling price range for M6 Scout in Australia is generally in the A$500 – $1,000 (300 – 600 Euro) range. May or may not be within your range for interest.
Wade, G'day mate please email me @ willisteoh [at bigpond [dot com, I am interested to buy a second M6. I currently have one in 22lr and 410 config. Cheers Willis in SA
Last but not least I would like to thank Steve for having this website.
I have 2 M6 Scouts and purchased a total of 5. Mostly for relatives in Hawaii for hunting.
I currently use my spray Canned Cammo Scout in 22lr to shoot Rats in my girlfriends horse barn. I use 22 CCI Shot and works well up to about 7ft. It has taken 6 Crows , a nasty Starling and a chicken raiding Oppusum.
I have 1 Scout in 22Hornet and let my friend use it in Hawaii b4 I took it back. It is armed with Maglite, laser and a red dot sight. It has taken numerous Wild Pigs (useing Dogs to bay them,less then 20yrd shots)and some ferol Cows(yes Cows that wonder on the road and not claimed by anybody) The laser aimed @ the head ,then the 22Hornet does wonders. Also turns Snowshoe Hares inside out with HollowPoints.
My Uncle uses his Scout to shoot Pig pen Pigs for Luau's. Sometime the 22LR is not Enough, But I supplied him with 410 slugs and does the job nicely.
The Scout is a great close range Tool. The sights personally SUCK in my opinion thus went with a Red Dot on my rifles.
The Scout also should have a option to carry a few rounds on the outside as its a pain to reload by opening the stock up to retrive a round(unless you have a few in your hand)in case a 2nd shot is needed.
Its not a classic in any sense and I would not pay more than 200$ for one but as a rifle you can beat up, thin ,small,to use in tight spaces. as I use mine to reach in far holes to scrape the dead rats out.Its better than using my .22 CZ452 Mannlicher.
PS I shoot the neihboor dog shiting in his yard. The Mexican Humming Bird rounds are great. The 350 FPS stuff are quieter than a Red Ryder BB gun. The Dog is uninjured!!!!!!!!Then theres the 500fps stuff.
I have all these ROUNDS in my Scout. 350fps,500fps 22LongCB(CCI) 22quickshok(CCI) then finally 22 STNGERS(CCI)
Out of all my guns, My Scouts have taken more animals than all my other guns combined besides my old Model 11 Remington Shotgun
Is this item available for sale?
I understand the the rifling to be 6 right.
It is still Christmas eve in the USA
Matt asked about the 'twist rate' some time ago…..
.22 LR: Right hand 1 turn in 15″
.22 Hornet: Right Hand 1 turn in 13″
Both have 6 grooves.
'Toying' with selling my hardly-used S/S Hornet model. Can't make up my mind. I see they are going at auction for around $600……
What do do? What to do…….???
Does anybody reload for their .22 Hornet M6 Scouts? I'm researching loads/powders/bullets for this caliber, and would like to start reloading soon. Right now I'm trying to figure out if it takes/prefers .223 or .224 diameter bullets? I'm also considering getting one of the newer CZ Bolt Actions in this caliber. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I love my Scout, and I cant' believe what the prices are on these guns, used, on Gunbroker.
Zug …. While I neither know the answer nor the difference in the two … I suggest contacting the Springfield Armory with the caliber question. All their instructrion manual states is .22 Hornet………
Good luck.
Hi wade,
i live in australia and would be interested in the M6 if you still got it.
(or anyone else in australia who has one for sale that is readign this)
Santos, sorry mate but already sold! Cheers
hey ive wanted one of the m6 scout rifles since i first saw it on an episode of american shooter. it must have been 1994 or 1995. i bought a gun mag a few weeks ago with a 2010 buyers guide in the back and it had the m6 scout listed for about $400 from springfield armory but after trying my local springfield authorized dealers and trying springfield armory directly i still have not found one. i live in michigan, usa and really want one. if anyone has one for sale or knows were i can find one please let me know. my email address is "[email protected]". i know im running the risk of getting weird or virus ridden emails by giving out my email address but I REALLY WANT THE M6 SCOUT!!! please help,
Andrew 5-3-10
My email was incorrectly spelt 🙁
Helo there, I have been searching for an m6 scout in .22 hornet or .. mag for a while, I cant seem to find anything. If you happen you have one, shoot me a line, thanks.
I am interested in buying a M6 Scout. Does anyone have one for sale? I am looking to purcahase asap. Thanks!
Search MN "Badaz" has the scout you seek.
Your best bet is to constantly check gunbroker, and after you cringe at the prices, just keep watching and if you are lucky you may be able to grab an M6 Scout for around $500 if you catch everybody sleeping. Beat up .22 LR models will be the least expensive ones, just make sure you read the description, some people permanently remove the trigger guard and they will also gut the ammunition storage compartment to be trendy and have an empty "Storage Compartment" to put survival supplies in (I am not kidding). Those mods should reduce the price, but, due to the rarity of these rifles, rusted examples can be priced at a premium. I think there is one on GB now that looks like it laid in a salt water pond for awhile, then was dragged down a dirt road, and it is priced at $500 give or take. That rifle has been on GB for about a year now. Just keep watching. Obviously if you are looking for a 22Hornet version, you are going to pay at least $700 to $800, and even more for stainless. Original Springfield Armory models (not Czech) in the blue hard case will, in either caliber, run significantly more. Check gun shows, and, local trade papers like penny saver and other regional trade/saver papers and web sites. Put out a WTB advertisement at AR15.com. It may take a week or so, but you will get offers. If you have anything to trade, it may lessen the blow your wallet will take. Good Luck!
I see people are looking for the M6 Scout. They are no longer being manufactured. I have the Stanless Steel and it is great for back packing. I have the orginial plastic case, canvas back pack bag, scope and not sure what else. I have it in storage. I have not shot it as much as I should. It is now a collectors item. Possible will sell for the right price. I live in Alaska [email protected] (907)223-3751
heinz, don't shoot a domestic dog in its own freaking yard.bbif you so much as scratched my dogs eye and or pierced the skin of his rump, in my own yard no less, I would beat you with in an inch of being crippled or dead.
Now a confirmed wild dog, coyote etc sure. What kind of jerk shoots his neighbors dog. Your asking for a real hatfield and mccoy feud. If you by accident killed or mamed my dog in my yard, its no holds bared death feud for life.
I would have no qualms about following you for years, every so often making your life miserable to get revenge.
I agree with not shooting someones dog…but wow, your post is over the top ridiculous. Gee, you're a scary guy. Friggen idiot.
how is it over the top when someone over zealously shoots my dog in my own yard?
Thats not over the top? People kill people for wearing the wrong hate, smudging a shoe, a fender bender etc.
If i cant have my dog be safe on my own property, i am not a free man.
from heinz "PS I shoot the neihboor dog shiting in his yard. The Mexican Humming Bird rounds are great. The 350 FPS stuff are quieter than a Red Ryder BB gun. The Dog is uninjured!!!!!!!!Then theres the 500fps stuff.
I have all these ROUNDS in my Scout. 350fps,500fps 22LongCB(CCI) 22quickshok(CCI) then finally 22 STNGERS(CCI)"
He could put out the dogs eye easy. I know of people or heard of people feuding for years of perceived slights in the office, or romance, or perceived diss by a neighbor.
The dude wants to shoot a dog in the dogs own yard, for doing nothing. All bets are off.
I did not know we could say anything on here, no moderation. but based on joshs comment, i appears we can. Josh, you are an inbred, sub human, POS trash. Way to defend a guy who gets off on teasing dogs and shooting them. You are the scary one. Scary stupid. You pathetic moron, your acting as if I DID ANYTHING. No one shot my dog yet. Also you are a moron for glossing over heinz and his terrible abuse of property laws. Neither of you should even be allowed near guns much less be able to own one. Go eat shit and die.
@josh, I am sorry, but if anybody ever harmed my dog, which I do consider to be a member of my family. i dont care how big or small you are. We are going to tango in one way or another. And I will deal with the legal consequences afterwords…
Hi, I have a CZ 22 hornet version that I have fired reloads I use in my BRNO fox 22 Hornet loaded with 10.8 grains of win 760 and a 40 g projectile.This shoots great with no signs of high pressure but extraction more difficult .I would use 10.5 if I only loaded for the m6 ,hope it helps
PS the projectile calibre was . 224

Vision by Proxy Second Edition is a fully authorized remake of a Georgia Tech student game, Vision by Proxy, previously shown at E3's IndieCade booth.
Stick around or skip the credits after completing the main game for bonus challenge levels.
Our team also made a brief video trailer available here: http://vimeo.com/26464925
pretty nice....
u know something Listen2Reason?i don't know if u noticed that everytime u take a vision from a human exactly after that there is a popping sound.....i think that popping sound is the sound that a spherical object makes when it's removed from it's shallow and rightfull space!!sooo there you go....it was your disturbing news report......
to the game creator :pretty nice work but something in overall gave it a very childish atmosphere .....that was something that bugged me....
pretty unique idea that needs a little more variety included....it got kind of boring after stage 3....same visions same problems same solutions over and over.....
very good idea
i like the a lot :D, i hope there will be more work like this one :D
The is a bad point though, the alien eye nearly do nothing, try to find some use for it
Good work thanks :)
Very Fun
However, I would say that if you were to offer a bit of variety between levels, that would push this over the top. By that, I mean are we to suspect that in every dimension the little guy always encounters a little girl, a grandma and an architect? Different eyeballs with different perspectives would really pick this game up, in my personal opinion. But a valiant effort thus far.
AWESOME game
i love how delusional everyone is.
I think the limit for originality in this type of spectrum is 5.
Wisdom, Nature, Peace, Selflessness, Talent
the alien, the gardener, architect, (insert new idea here), little girl
for the (insert new idea here) i'd suggest.. every object has subliminal political propaganda attached to it. For instance, you see a house, it looks like a mini-church with the words "holier than thou" written on it. You see grass, it has the words, "$20 in the pockets of a minority slave laborer" written on it. You see clouds, it says, "PLZ RAIN". You see a big building, it shows a bank with fangs and a picture of religious martyrs in chains or something.
This kind of framework for a game has enormous potential if the characters ever interact, thus altering each others judgments. Would be a lot of work, but could be better than games like grand theft auto, where a single perspective just gets carte blanche to be a tyrant.
It's well done...I'm just a little concerned about the "vision" thing. If you move near the Gardener, you can't help but think--Did I actually REMOVE her EYEBALL?
But given that the same characters appear in other levels, that's probably not the case. Still, it's kind of disturbing...

Armored Combat
Armored combat, or heavy weapons fighting, is the art of donning medieval armor and doing combat with rattan weapons. The battles can be single combat, formal tournaments or large-scale melee. The forces of Eastwatch are led by our Knights Marshal, Sir Conrad Schwartzwolf. For more information regarding the rules of engagement for the Midrealm, please visit the Earl Marshal's website.
Rapier Combat
Eastwatch has a thriving fencing population and they are always ready to welcome more. Our Rapier Marshal, Lady Cherise of the Cleftlands, is not only a fearless leader but a wonderful instructor. We recognize and fight under the Rapier Rules of the Middle Kingdom. For more information, please visit the Earl Marshal's Marshalette website.
Combat & Target Archery
As with any proper frontier settlement of the day, we have an excellent group of archers. Unfortunately we do not have the opportunity to practice during the regular meetings, instead we have two locations where a Sunday afternoon (from 1 to 4 PM) practice is held based on the time of year. For more detailed information regarding sites, please see our locations page.
Due to its location on the frontier of the Middle Kingdom, Eastwatch is a prime location for equestrian activities. While the middle ages brings to mind armored jousting, other activities such as reeds, rings and quintain are more common.
