FOXBOROUGH -- The Patriots need to thank Mister Schedule Maker for giving them three offensively challenged teams with which to hack through their own offensive growing pains.
You had Buffalo on the road, then home games against the Jets and now the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. None of these teams will remind you of the 1950 Los Angeles Rams, so the Patriots had wiggle room to work with as long as the defense did their thing and put the clamps on an easy offense to put the clamps on. And for the third week in a row, the opposing offense was unable to get much of anything going against the Patriot defense while Tom Brady and his young bucks continue to figure out how to play the game of football, NFL style, correctly.
Brady knows, of course. But the other guys who are taking the place of Patriot legends (any list of Patriot legends excludes those with legal issues) have driven Brady to the point of losing his composure, which was revealed graphically on last Thursday night's national telecast.
Finally, on Sunday at Gillette Stadium, Brady can rest somewhat easy as his young'uns finally had some decent games, made some good to great plays, and the Patriots had an easy time with the offensively inept Bucs, 23-3. Familiarity helped a bit, as these two teams scrimmaged back in August before playing the second preseason game for each team. But the Patriots totally dominated the Bucs, to the point where the 20-point margin doesn't really tell the story.
Tampa Bay is a mess offensively. Josh Freeman is shooting his way out of town with "trade me" requests and substandard play. His top wideouts, Vincent Jackson and Mike Williams, were both injured and way below the level of what they could be (Williams was torching the Patriot secondary before he got hurt on the second play of the second quarter). This helped the Patriots to overcome continuing yips on offense which rendered them scoreless throughout the first quarter, a quarter which made Patriot Nation think to themselves, "Here we go again!"
But Brady and the Patriots finally broke through in the second quarter and scored on five of their next six offensive possessions to take firm control of the game. Only an end zone pick thrown by Brady after the first offensive possession of the third quarter marred what turned out to be Brady and his offensive mates literally getting back to their old selves. Both Aaron Dobson and Kenbrell Thompkins got out of Brady's doghouse with some nice catches and better route running overall.
Dobson got things going on the third play of the second quarter. Facing third and four at their own 40, Dobson ran a quick slant in left route and caught a perfect toss from Brady, bobbled it momentarily, and took it 15 yards to the Bucs' 45 with Darrelle Revis in futile pursuit. On fourth and two at the Tampa Bay 37, Brady and Bill Belichick gambled and Brady was able to find Dobson open in the right flat for six yards. Four plays later, from the Tampa Bay 16, Thompkins lined up right, ran a nice crossing route into the end zone, and Brady hit him right in stride to make it 7-3 Patriots. Again, this was with Revis in futile pursuit.
Greg Schiano would go for it four times on fourth down and fail each time. The first such time saw Brandon Spikes stuff Doug Martin on the Patriot 38 on fourth and one. Brady took over and drove the Patriots 62 yards in ten plays. Thompkins again hauled in the bacon with another right side crossing route, this time from five yards out and this time with Johnthan Banks in coverage.
Freeman then threw his worst pass of the day, a terrible floater in the right flat with 11 seconds left in the half which former Buccaneer Aqib Talib picked off with ease. Three plays later, Stephen Gostkowski boomed a 53-yard field goal (he was three for three on FGs) to make it 17-3 Patriots at the half.
Brady had a decent day, completing 25 of 36 passes for 225 yards and two touchdowns. But he had one interception which lowered his rating to 92.9. On the first drive of the second half, Brady used a 46-yard run by Brandon Bolden and a 20-yard catch by Thompkins to bring the Patriots to the Tampa Bay 6. On third and goal, Brady tried to force a throw to Zach Sudfeld in the end zone in double coverage. Instead, he nailed Mark Barron perfectly for the interception, and Brady stormed off the field with no one to yell at but himself.
It turned out to be much ado about nothing. Freeman and the Bucs went three and out, and Brady proceeded to parlay two throws to Michael Hoomanawanui into a 46-yard field goal by Gostkowski. Another failed try on fourth down by Tampa Bay led to another field goal drive for the Patriots to complete the scoring. By game's end, the Patriots were being gentlemanly with the Bucs, going for it deep in Tampa Bay territory instead of kicking still another field goal.
Dobson and Julian Edelman both caught seven passes. Thompkins caught only three passes, but two of them were for scores. These three receivers plus Bolden all amassed over 40 yards receiving each with Dobson the leader with 52 yards. Best of all, there was really only one blatantly wrong route run, by Dobson in the second quarter. Thompkins did have one glaring drop on a third quarter crossing route where he had a step on his defender but merely turned upfield before he had the ball.
Former Buccaneer LeGarrette Blount had a nice day with 65 yards rushing on 14 carries. Bolden had 51 yards, but it was on three carries and skewed by the 46-yard gallop he had in the third quarter.
The Patriot defense got lucky in that it had a substandard offense to deal with, and Freeman did manage 236 yards passing on 19-of-41 passing (a 54.5 rating). Perhaps the key for the Patriots was to contain Martin to only 88 yards rushing and a 4.4 yard average after he bludgeoned New Orleans last week for 146 yards rushing. With Martin basically a non-factor, the Patriots were able to totally focus on Freeman and making him wish even more that the Bucs trade him as soon as possible.
Brady can finally relax somewhat, as this was a Tampa Bay defense that is pretty good and that the Bucs were 0-2 coming into this game with two losses by a combined three points. Brady was able to solve the Tampa defense, which sacked him three times, and help his young receivers gain some measure of confidence. It is only one game, and Tampa's offense helped out in that there wasn't much to worry about, but Brady and the Patriots will take it.
The last two times the Patriots began 3-0, they went to the Super Bowl both times. The Patriots will take that, too.

No doubt you've heard the array of monikers (tapioca ball, pearl tea, black pearls, boba, bubble, milk tea) that make ordering that milky, pastel-colored cold drink with a fat straw and dark marbles on the bottom of the cup a little tricky. The craze was born in Taiwan about 25 years ago, when stands sold the cold teas as an after-school treat for kids. The gummy "pearls" are balls of cooked tapioca starch, reprocessed cassava or "yucca" root. TenRen's Tea in Anaheim gets our vote for being around for 10 years, long before the boba craze became mainstream in the U.S. And they do their boba old-school-style: no shrink-wrapping over the plastic cup, no powdery artificial-tasting teas, and a good selection of flavors (including flan!). And their pearls are the perfect consistency: pliant and smooth.

We live in the west, and my wife's family also live in the same city as we do. We always go to visit my wife's family on Saturdays. My wife has married sisters who also live in the same city, but my wife and her sisters have set aside a day to visit their family, which is Saturday. I told my wife off for that, and said to her, "Why Saturday? Because it is the day of rest for the Jews, and we do not want to imitate the Jews." But she said to me that the children have two days off in the week, Saturday and Sunday. I said to her: Why don't you go on Friday, or sometimes on Friday and sometimes on Saturday, or any other day? But my wife is not convinced of that. I hope that you can answer this, may Allaah reward you with good. Please note that my wife goes to her family whenever she wants, but she and her sisters still go on Saturdays.
First of all, we ask Allaah to reward you with good for your keenness to avoid following the ways of the disbelievers, and your fear of imitating them. This is how the believer is; he is proud of his faith and his Islam, and he does not agree to be a blind follower of those with whom Allaah is angry among the Jews and Christians.
But there is nothing wrong with what your wife and her sisters are doing, as it seems to us. It is not the haraam kind of imitation, in sha Allaah, because setting aside Saturday for visits is not because it is a special day, rather it is because this is easier for them and is more suited to the family's circumstances, as it is possible for everyone, because of this day off, to visit. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
With regard to the one who does something and it so happens that others do it too, and one of them did not copy the other, then the question of whether this is an imitation or not is subject to further discussion. End quote.
Iqtida' al-Siraat al-Mustaqeem (p. 82)
He also said:
That which is not originally taken from them, but they do it too, does not come under the prohibition on imitating them, but it may mean missing out on the benefits of being different. Whether it is makrooh or haraam depends on shar'i evidence as to whether it is imitating them, because we cannot say that we are imitating them, rather it may be said that they are imitating us. End quote.
Iqtida' al-Siraat al-Mustaqeem (p. 223)
From the words of Ibn Taymiyah quoted above about the guidelines on what is the haraam kind of imitation or resemblance, it may be understood that your wife and her sisters setting aside Saturday for their visits is not haraam according to sharee'ah, for several reasons:
1. Visiting relatives is prescribed in our religion at all times, and it is the practice of our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and of our righteous forbears at all times and in all places. There is nothing wrong with singling any day out for that, according to circumstances and time. This is according to scholarly consensus.
2. Visiting people on Saturdays is not one of the unique characteristics of the Jews and Christians, and it is not something that has been adopted from them. Rather it is something that all people have in common, and is not unique to one nation rather than another. Rather what is unique to the Jews is taking Saturday as a holy day on which the people show the outward manifestations of it being a holy day, that they do not do on other days.
In the answers to questions no. 21694 and 108996 we have mentioned some of the guidelines on the imitation of others that is haraam.
As it does not seem that this action of theirs is imitation of the kuffaar, and there is no fear that they may do that, then there is nothing wrong with their singling out Saturdays for such visits, if that is easiest for them and most suited to their circumstances.
Al-Bukhaari (1193) and Muslim (1399) narrated from 'Abd-Allaah ibn Dinar that Ibn 'Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) used to go to Quba' every Saturday and he used to say: I saw the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) coming to it every Saturday.
To sum up: If singling out Saturdays for visits is easier for them, then there is nothing wrong with it, in sha Allaah, and it does not seem that there is anything wrong with it. If their circumstances allow them to choose another day, other than Saturday or Sunday, or they can switch it every time, that is more on the safe side for them and further removed from imitation of the kuffaar, and is more obviously being different from the kuffaar in their festivals and special days.
And Allaah knows best.

How to find a painter
OH, I know you've all heard this story before-I had a job to do and I hate climbing on any roofs, at my age . Therefore, I hired a day-painter to paint the trim and siding of two dormer windows after I replaced a couple of pieces of trim on the windows. We agreed on pricing and of course he asked for some of the money up front, NOT! I only agreed to pay him after he finished painting what we had agreed to paint. He was doing a really good job and on the second day it started to rain late in the afternoon. We both had to pack up and again he asked for his money, NOT! I then agreed to pay him for what work had been completed and hold back the rest, this worked for him. It rained for three days and now I have not seen him yet. The two phone numbers he gave me-no good. The address on his drivers license-empty house. His drivers license number (I have a way to check)- expired license. Now I have word out for a Mafia type day worker, I have him/her a little work to do and I'll use the rest of the painters money to pay them. This should not take long, maybe break one leg, below the knee will do. Why? I now have to go buy another gallon of this custom mixed paint he ran off with, I have to go rent a ladder long enough for me to lay on the roof to support me so I can finish the dormer windows. If there is a next time, I will tell the painter to start at the top, at least I can finish the bottom level windows without climbing on the roof. Another lesson in life, David

"Day Painter"
So you went out and hired a good ole "Day Painter". I'm sure he was licensed, insured and bonded. I'm sure you checked his references. His reputation was probably well known from the ad/yellow pages/etc. that you picked him from. Let me guess, he was really cheap? You get what you pay for, I don't feel sorry for you at all.

For folks reading this thread (I think Thurman knows this already, and I'm in no way directing this at him):
Hiring a contractor isn't difficult. The task of weeding through the slugs out there, apparently, is. The way to hire, sorted by increasing levels of risk: 1. Talk to your neighbor/someone at church/family/miscellaneous community group that has recently had this work done, ask if they would recommend someone, and call and talk to them (you should end up with 2-3 candidates). Get copies of their registration/license and proof of liability and workers comp insurance. Check references. Have a written contract. Call the town and see if a permit is required for your project, and have the contractor submit the permit. 2. Look up in the yellow pages. Call a bunch, talk to them, get references, and narrow it down to 2-3 outfits. Get copies of their registration/license and proof of liability and workers comp insurance. Have a written contract. Call the town and see if a permit is required for your project, and have the contractor submit the permit. 3. If you're really feeling salty, post an ad on Craigslist. Call 4-5 outfits and talk to them. Get copies of their registration/license and proof of liability and workers comp insurance. Check references. Have a written contract. Nail down anything that can be stolen. Buy the material yourself. Call the town and see if a permit is required for your project, and have the contractor submit the permit. 4. If you've hit your head recently, you might try to go down and pick up some day laborers. I'm not even going there, because some people might mis-read this and think I'm actually recommending this as a fourth option. I'm not. Here's why you have to do the different steps: a. Asking for recommendations cuts down your legwork. b. Calling and speaking to a bunch of outfits and talking to them will weed out the people who don't return calls, are hard to get a hold of, are disorganized, etc. c. Getting copies of their registration/license will arm you with info that you can use to go online and check their status at a state website to see if they're in trouble, or their license has been revoked. d. Getting proof of liability insurance protects you if they back into your house, or burn it down, etc. e. Getting proof of workers comp insurance protects you if they get hurt on your property. If they have workers comp insurance, it's less likely that you'd be sued if they cut themselves, fell off your roof, etc. f. Checking references is just plain smart. Be wary of stunt-clients, though: less scrupulous contractors might give you fictitious clients (friends of theirs). g. Having a written contract protects you in court. Having the contractor mail you back a copy of the contract is even better. Then if they swindle you, you can nail them for mail fraud as well, which is a federal offense. h. Calling the town and seeing if a permit is required for your project - and then following the process - protects the value and safety of your property. i. Having the contractor submit the permit puts the contractor in front of the building department, where they will be further scrutinized for licensing issues and code compliance. A little about Craigslist: it isn't perfect. While there are honest folks there, sometimes it definitely resembles a cesspool of crooks. But if you do your homework, it might work out. I would caution everyone in how to post an ad: the lower the road you take in your wording ("do it for this, or don't call me", etc), the poorer the results will be. There is a way to write a great ad that will deliver a positive outcome. In a nut shell, if you don't have a copy of their registration, a copy of their liability insurance, a copy of their workers comp insurance, a written contract, references that you have checked yourself, and positive results from a search of your state's division of community affairs website, and the job goes bad, then in all likelihood you'll have to look no further than the nearest mirror for where it all went wrong.

OH Lord, I was not asking for anyone to feel sorry for me at all, I was just sharing this story that I thought a number of us had been through before. I did find the painter, it's not what you know in life, it's who you know. After finding the address empty, I knocked on a couple of neighbors doors and told them I needed him for a big job and had the rest of his monies to pay him. I left my phone number and it took almost three hours for a woman to call saying she was his "woman" and if I bring her the money she would tell him to call me. NOT! I lied! I told her that I had his $250 cash and would give it to him only, I only owe him $50. She told me he was at his sister's house and the address, I knew the street. I went over and found him there, he had multiple excuses as to why he had not gone back. I got my paint from him and told him that the D.A.'s office had the rest of his money and when they could determine if he had committed a crime such as "theft by default" or something like that he would get the money from them. I also informed him that I was dropping charges and would call them in the morning and he could go down and get his money from them. That made him happy and me also. Actually I had rather have his knee broken. Yes, he was a day painter/laborer, would I hire one again-Yes. It's about the only way around here to find anyone to do any of this type work. With local code enforcement checking license lately you don't see near as many people hauling ladders and lawnmowers around on the tops of cars/vans and in the trunks. My 2¢ worth, David

Banksy Wall Gets $400,000 Bid, Remains Terrible
In the latest twist in the career of British "art prankster" Banksy, a wall on which he painted another one of his one-note eye-rollers has brought £208,100 at auction, or around $400,000. The wall, on the side of a building on Portobello Road in London, will have to be removed to be enjoyed at home by the buyer, and the cost of removal is not included in the price. The artwork depicts a stereotypical artist, with bow-tie and paint palette, putting the finishing touches with a brush on a sloppy "Banksy" tag that has clearly been spray-painted. Har, har: it sure pokes fun at all those people who take art seriously!
The artist's recent work on Israel's West Bank barrier raised eyebrows and caused controversy, but lost in the debate was the plain fact that it features the same old Highlights magazine-level groan-worthy clichés. Most are trompe l'oeil "breaks" or "windows" in the wall, and boy, everybody loves trompe l'oeil: it's like a magical illusion! Plus, um, it really brings to the foreground the true "wallness" of the wall itself. Ugh. The auction of the London painting shows that the Banksy phenomenon is just even more of an example of the emptiness of celebrity culture than it supposedly parodies, and considering there are about 100 stunning examples of mind-bendingly great graffiti within a block of my house, shockingly-colored phrases twisted into illegible psychedelic shapes, nearly vibrating with life, it seems like any one of these anonymous artists would be more deserving of some of that $400,000. But clearly I'm not the target audience.

Posted May 12, 2008 · Report post One person says fish oil, one says flaxseed, how do you know for sure? Some say flaxseed makes acne worse. Ohhhhhh there is just TOO much info on the net and my head literally feels like it's going to explode! lolSo, anyone got a good idea of which is better? I used flax and saw not a whole lot of improvement Also, how long should a person give the oil to determine whether it's working or not?/Thanks in advance Dear Acne, I HATE you!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 12, 2008 · Report post Fish Oil vs Flax Seed OilThe fish oil vs flax seed oil debate continues among health supplement providers. Some say that flax oil is better. Others say a fish oil dietary supplement is best. No one denies that they both contain omega-3 fatty acids which are essential to many systems, organs and tissues of the human body. The flax oil vs fish oil conflict concerns which omega-3 is best and why.Most current scientific study involves the benefits of certain omega-3 fatty acids to heart and brain health. The omega-3s used in these studies are DHA and EPA. These are found in a high quality fish oil dietary supplement. Flax oil contains an omega-3 called ALA and other fatty acids. The benefits of flax oil and fish oil are somewhat different and each can be beneficial, but for different reasons.However, for heart health, a fish oil dietary supplement is recommended by most medical experts and naturopathicpractitioners. ALA needs to be converted to DHA and EPA in the body....and this conversion does not always take place, especially for people who are in less than optimal health. This would include many elderly folks. On the other hand, if you're in good health flax seed ALA may be converted by the body to DHA and EPA.Thus, when the heart is concerned in the flax oil vs fish oil debate, fish oil wins in our opinion since you can get the crucial DHA and EPA directly through a quality fish oil. For brain health and symptoms like depression, a fish oil dietary supplement is recommended for much the same reasons.The brain needs large amounts of DHA, but if the body needs the ALA for some other reason, it may not ever be converted to DHA.So, when the brain is discussed in the fish oil vs flax seed oil debate, fish oil wins again.Having said all of this, some people prefer flax oil over fish oil for various reasons. For example, strict vegetarians must supplement their diet with some type of omega-3, but will not take a fish oil dietary supplement.Flax seed oil may help to alleviate hot flashes in menopausal women. It would be nice if there were one supplement that did everything for everyone, but there is no such supplement.----------Go with the fish, *does fish face*. ***moderator edit*** * Low GI, No Dairy, Lots of Water * Hide From The Sun Like A Ninja Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 7, 2014 · Report post Hi hun! I use to struggle with acne, terribly! My, when I was 15, it was just scattered terribly around my face! I was embarrassed, I hated reflections, and as if you don't struggle with your confidence enough as a teenager, I'm 18 now! But, I heard of this treatment, taking fish oil capsules, and boy did it help heaps! The only way to ensure this is to drink water, not chug it, but sip it throughout the days, if you're not use to drinking a lot of water, then you might get a bit bloated, but your body will get use to this, and soon you'll slim down again. I drink a lot of tea, and take a 1,200mg Fish Oil Capsule (One in the morning, and one a night) by Naturemade, (I don't think it makes a difference with the brand.) Over a week my acne became less of an occurrence, however this will not completely whack your acne troubles away, something I kept telling myself (Progress not perfection,) I still have my breakouts, and yes it's irritating, but something you have to do is just love yourself unconditionally, and SERIOUSLY tell yourself that in the mirror, and I'm sure even more progress can be made. Acne, is a b*tch, but with a self disciplined attitude to resisting sugary foods, carby foods, and sugary drinks, you can do wonders to improve your skins vitality without all the topical treatments, and herbal pills, and medications. It's just swinging to a more healthy lifestyle. XOX Hope I helped some! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[Edit Descripton] JObservable is an abstract class which allows you to simply implement a Observer/Observable pattern within an application.
In order to avoid strong dependencies between objects, which reduces reusability of the individual classes, it is common to use the Observer/Observable design pattern. The JObservable class can be used where one or more objects need to be informed when the state of another object changes. Objects derived from the JObserver class can register themselves with an object derived from the JObservable class and will be informed as required.
Defined in
Method name | Description |
__construct | Constructor |
getState | Get the state of the JObservable object |
notify | Update each attached observer object and return an array of their return values |
attach | Attach an observer object |
detach | Detach an observer object |
jimport( 'joomla.base.observable' );
[Edit See Also] SeeAlso:JObservable
<CodeExamplesForm />
Let's say, we want to integrate Error-Handling in our application, but we don't know yet, if we want the error to be display, logged in a file, stored to the database, or all of the above. Our goal is, to keep the object that raises the error independent of the objects that store the error message.
class MyError extends JObservable { public $msg = NULL; function raiseError($msg){ $this->msg = $msg; //Notify all attached ErrorHandlers of the state change. $this->notify(); } } //We now implement the Observers, thus the error handlers class ErrorHandlerDisplay extends JObserver { function update(){ echo $this->subject->msg; } } class ErrorHandlerFileStorage extends JObserver { function update(){ error_log($this->subject->msg;); } } class ErrorHandlerDB extends JObserver { function update(){ $db = JFactory::getDBO(); $sql = "INSERT INTO #__myerrors (message) VALUES (".$db->quote($this->subject->msg).")"; $db->setQuery($sql); $db->query(); } } //Now we can use newly implemented MyError class to raise Errors. $error = new MyError(); /* The constructor of the observers automatically attaches the observer to the subject * In our example that means that the constructor of the error handler automatically * attaches the handler to the MyError Object. */ new ErrorHandlerDisplay($error); new ErrorHandlerFileStorate($error); new ErrorHandlerDB($error); $error->raiseError('Help!!!'); /* * Would cause 'Help!!!' to be display, logged in a file, and stored in the database. * You can simply add and remove the error handlers as you like */
What happened here? We separated the functionality of raising an error of the functionality of handling an error. In the future you can add additional ErrorHandlers, or remove some of the existing handlers, without the need to change any classes at all. Furthermore you can simply change an Errorhandler, without the need to change the MyError class. This greatly increases the reusability of your code.
This example was originally provided by Batch1211.

I have been hearing a lot of complaints lately about Ruger M77 rifles. People complain that they're innacurate, too heavy, look ugly, and many other things. I personally own a Ruger M77 MKII in .270 Winchester and I love it. It isn't the most accurate gun I've owned (it produces 1 1/4- 1 1/3 " groups with its favorite load), but I don't have any complaints. In fact, it is my favorite rifle! So, what are your experiences with Ruger rifles? And please don't let your bias taint your comments.
I am a huge fan of Ruger rifles, especially the more recent built # 1's. I have owned them in several calibers and find them accurate way beyond their reputation. Ruger started making their own hammer forged barrels some years ago and they are uniformly excellent. Also have a MKII 77 in 7x64 which is quite accurate. Only problem had with it was stock cracking in the trigger well area, but this is quite common in bolt guns of all make because there is so little wood there. Took an early 77 tang safety gun in .338 to RSA and it behaved perfectly. Also love Ruger revolvers. In my mind they are a great gun and excellent value.
I have used the Ruger 77 for years, along with my custom rifles and other brands such as Winchester, Rem etc..I have found the Rugers to be accurate and tough, well designed and a very capable rifle. The early 77s in 416 Rigby and other big bore calibers were a bit on the bulky side, and heavy, but they did suck up the recoil and most clients shot them well. The newer models in big bore have fixed that problem. You can hear pro and con on about any manufacturer of firearms.
I love Ruger guns...I own a few... and have no need to ever build a custom gun...because I love the way Ruger guns function. They never jam and seem to be very accurate. They are tough too...I've banged my rifles around and have never had a shift in the point of aim. And I have shot 1000's of round of 22's with my 10/22 Ruger.
I love the way they look, function, and feel as well. They just feel and look like a rifle should. I would like to get a Ruger #1 someday (when I'm older and actually have the money to buy one), maybe in 9.3X74R or something similar.
As an owner of Remingtons, Winchesters, Rugers, Sakos, etc...I find the Rugers to be good solid rifles that excellant value for the money. IMO, they are rugged acceptably accurate and I really love the classic stock styling. I have a 7x57, 338 Win Mag and a 375 Ruger. All quality rifles. The 7mm and 338 have been to Africa with me and performed with out a problem. The 375 will go on my next trip.
I have 3 Ruger M77. 2 in 22-250 and my 338 win mag. The 338 is anything you want to call it. completely re worked and one of my most accurate gun i have. I would not have a problem taking shots out to 400 yards. Last year i shot my wildebeest and impala at around 350 yards off shooting sticks. Look at trigger work, floating the barrel, recoil pad and polishing the bolt and action area.
Christian, I had one in 9.3x74 and it shot great. Be aware though that it does kick some being a pretty powerful round. Recently been playing with a new #1 in .303 British. Much less kick, shoots quite well and a classic combo of rifle style and cartridge. Lately Ruger is chambering lots of classics in the #1.
I have a friend on here, browningbbr, he has a 416 Rigby, it's one fine rifle in a Ruger...if I had the money...I'd buy one too!
How many ft lbs would you say it is? I have owned 2 NO.5 MKI jungle carbines in .303 British. They are fun to shoot and are very easy on your shoulder.
Heck, that is what I say about everything! Since I'm only 14, money is hard to come by! I had to work for a while (babysitting, doing dishes, shoveling driveways, and other little jobs) to get enough money to buy the Ruger that I have!
My dad and I found a load that shoots MOA out of my Ruger. After trying several different loads, we found that it likes Prvi Partizan (made by PPU) 150 grainers. Does anybody know anything or have any experience with this load?
I have a big soft spot for ruger rifles and pistols for that matter, but my favorite rugers and the ones I get seem to get enough of are the ruger #1s. I love hunting with these and they have never let me down, although I've let the rifle down a few times.
I have had no problems with a ruger. I used to own a 7mm mag that loved 150gr bulets and shot sub MOA with them, heavier bullets also shot well 1-1 1/4" groups. Ruger 10/22 is probably the most popular .22 ever, there are endless aftermarket products availabe, and for good reason, they are great guns. My Ruger M77VT in .220 swift drives tacks. There are actually clubs out there just for owners of the 10/22 or M77VT. They are not this popular because people find them inaccurate of poorly made that is for sure.
Ruger rifles (as well as a 20 guage Red Lable shotgun and a Super Blackhawk 44 mag revolver) has been my go to rifles for many years. What I like is their no nonsens image, the scope mount systen, their ruggedness, and for me at least, the stock design. What some Ruger rifles to a sertain degree might lack is accuracy, but with good handloads, they preform with the best IMO. Also the trigger weight is on the heavy side, but can easely be fixed by a competent smith (or repalcement trigger) For the time beeing I have three Ruger rifles, a M22/77 in 22LR, a M77 MKII in 35 Whelen, and a Hawkeye in 375 Ruger. All three have great accuracy, and I really like them.
LOL you just reminded me of my only beef about a Ruger. many years ago I bought an M77 .223, the trigger was so heavy I could actually hold the gun up by the trigger without it going off!!! But as you said this was very easily (and cheaply) fixed by a gunsmith after which I enjoyed that gun tremendously.
I'm really looking at the Alaskan 416 Ruger I have not heard many negative reports about them anybody have more info on them?
My .270 likes 150's more than 130's, which is what I was hoping for. The Marlin model 60 is the most popular .22 ever. I really don't know why, because they are actually pieces of crap.
Me and my dad tested some of my130 grain handloads and it shot pretty good with them. It shot those handloaded 130's far better than the factory 130's, but it still shoots most factory 150's as good as the 130 handloads. My dad wants to try some 150 grain handloads in it, to see if it likes those more. My .270 has a slightly heavy trigger, but it doesn't bother me much.
I have several Ruger rifles and love hunting with all of them. With that said, the first thing I do is either replace the trigger or have a trigger job. I have found mine to be very accurate. I have a wood stocked Hawkeye .30-06, a Hogue stocked stainless/syn .30-06, an Express rifle .270 with a Circassian walnut stock, ebony forend and a quarter rib with folding sights, a #1B .270 with the red recoil pad and the .375 Ruger African. The #1 B is the most accurate of them all. But, I think the .375 is my favorite because of the African memories associated with it.

New on Ancestry.com is the Roster of the men and women who served in the army or naval service (including the Marine Corps) of the United States or its allies from the state of North Dakota in the World War, 1917-1918, Vols. 1-4.Whew! That's quite a mouthful.
Nonetheless, both brothers of my great grandmother, Oline Stigen, are found in the records. They can be found on pages 3108-3109. Listed is their birth dates, service dates, civilian occupations, induction dates, etc. Pretty much a summary of their military records.

Will Premier 6.5 import MVI movie files used by canon cameras
Paul M
I have never heard of MVI... do you mean MOV?
The key is... what codec is inside that MOV wrapper?
Read Bill Hunt on a file type as WRAPPER http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037
What is a CODEC... a Primer http://forums.adobe.com/thread/546811
What CODEC is INSIDE that file? http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037
Report back with the codec details of your file, use the programs below... a screen shot works well to SHOW people what you are doing
For PC http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ or http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
For Mac http://mediainspector.massanti.com/
If you have a red line over the timeline after importing a video and before adding any effects... your project is wrong for your video... read above about codecs
Once you know exactly what it is you are editing, report back with that information... and your project setting, and if there is a red line above the video in the timeline, which indicates a mismatch between video and project
Also, if you are talking about a HiDef camera... your old Premiere 6.5 is not likely going to work... but, what is the exact codec?
Thanks John
I found this link which explains what mvi files are it also says that premier does not open them although I thought perhaps at some stage a Premier version would be updated to import these file considering that the Canon cameras shoot the video in this format

Here's a meeting of minds no one expected to happen. Scrappy Queens-based indie rockers The Beets are apparently huge Howard Stern fans, which caused the DJ to play a clip of the band's music on his show after he found out Juan Wauters and his group listen to him eight hours a day. "I like this," said Stern. "It sounds like the Ramones, kinda thing. Alright, these boys sound good. Of course I'm prejudiced—they listen to me eight hours a day." However, it seems Stern isn't familiar with the lo-fi recording techniques that have helped establish the Beets' name. "They mix their music very unusually," he laughed. The best part of this craziness is when Stern plays some of his own recordings from when he was in 6th grade, which sound surprisingly Beets-like. Check out the Stern/Beets clip from his show above, and some of Sern's recordings below. [via WFMU]

Golden tiara hostas grow at the Toledo Botanical Garden.
Mother's Day is a great time to give your mom a gift that lasts. If she likes to garden, give her a plant that tells her how you feel about her.
Many plants have clever common names. Putting a few together can create a living botanical Mother's Day gift.
Mother's Day is also the beginning of frost-free weather, so get out there and get planting. Here are some suggestions.
Have fun digging in the garden with your mom on this special weekend. That time together will mean more to her than any expensive gift.

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — The credibility of Trayvon Martin's shooter could be an issue at trial after a judge said that George Zimmerman and his wife lied to the court about their finances to obtain a bond, legal experts say.
That's because the case hinges on jurors believing his account of what happened the night the 19-year-old was killed.
The questioning of Zimmerman's truthfulness by the judge on Friday could undermine the defendant's credibility if it is brought up at trial. It also may complicate how his defense presents him as a witness, said Orlando-area attorney Randy McCLean, who is a former prosecutor.
"The other key witness, unfortunately is deceased," McClean said. "Basically, Zimmerman is going to be asking the jury to believe his version of the facts … As the case stands now, his credibility is absolutely critical to the case."
Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder for the February shooting. The neighborhood watch volunteer says he shot Martin in self-defense because the unarmed 17-year-old was beating him up after confronting Zimmerman about following him in a gated community outside Orlando.
Witness accounts of the rainy night Martin was shot are spotty. There is no video of the fight, though photos prosecutors have released showed Zimmerman with wounds to his face and the back of his head.
Zimmerman's credibility with the judge would be important if O'Mara tries to get a judge without the jury to dismiss the charges based on the law, said Orlando defense attorney David Hill.
"If he was in on something that was not truthfully revealed to the judge, when there is a 'stand your ground' hearing, of course you're going to second-guess him," Hill said.
Both McClean and Hill said O'Mara would be able to challenge the admissibility of the bond revocation at trial by questioning its relevance.
Zimmerman was arrested 44 days after the killing, and during a bond hearing in April, his wife, Shellie, testified that the couple had limited funds available. The hearing also was notable because Zimmerman took the stand and apologized to Martin's parents.
Prosecutors pointed out in their motion that Zimmerman had $135,000 available then. It had been raised from donations through a website he set up and they suggested more has been collected since and deposited in a bank account.
Shellie Zimmerman was asked about the website at the hearing, but she said she didn't know how much money had been raised. Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester set bail at $150,000. The 28-year-old was freed a few days later after posting $15,000 in cash — which is typical — and has since been in hiding.
Prosecutor Bernie De la Rionda complained Friday, "This court was led to believe they didn't have a single penny. It was misleading and I don't know what words to use other than it was a blatant lie." The judge agreed and ordered Zimmerman returned to jail by Sunday afternoon.
"Does your client get to sit there like a potted plant and lead the court down the primrose path? That's the issue," Lester said. "He can't sit back and obtain the benefit of a lower bond based upon those material falsehoods."
The defense countered that Zimmerman and his wife never used the money for anything, which indicated "there was no deceit." His attorney, Mark O'Mara, said it wouldn't be a problem to bring Zimmerman back into custody by the deadline.
The judge said he would schedule a hearing after Zimmerman is back in custody so he could explain himself.
Police in Sanford did not immediately arrest Zimmerman, citing Florida's "stand your ground" law that gives wide latitude to use deadly force rather than retreat in a fight if people believe they are in danger of being killed or seriously injured.
Benjamin Crump, an attorney for Trayvon Martin's parents, Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton, said his clients have always said Zimmerman should remain in jail until trial, which O'Mara said he believed wouldn't be until next year.
Crump was asked if he thought that if Zimmerman would be willing to lie about his finances that he would be willing to lie about what happen the night Martin was killed.
"We fully expect that the special prosecutor will make George Zimmerman's credibility be front and center in this entire case," Crump said. "And whatever dishonesty that comes forth by George Zimmerman that they can prove, you can best believe it will become the issue of this case."
The revocation of Zimmerman's bond also puts pressure on O'Mara to not delay the trial, McClean said.
"When your client is out on bond, the pressure is much lighter to rush to trial … because your client is sitting at home," he said. "When your client is sitting at the Seminole County Jail, your client is going to want this resolved."

Comments about Denon Micro Audio System:
My rating of excellent is based on the intended usage of the unit: micro-system, not the be confused with a modular/rack system. If you are looking to shake windows and doors, look elsewhere, though, it should be noted that the system has the potential to shake windows and doors, no comment on the longevity of the speakers. The sound quality is great, provided the system is not running at maximum, which is the case for all of the amplifiers that I have run into (noted exception: McIntosh Labs). The units, as a whole, is very well constructed: banana jacks, cable gauge, cd tray, remote, unit. The system setup is intuitive. We use the system in the dinning room for background during rowdy card games and quite dining, as such, it is quite flexible. Very nice unit with no signification downsides.

Freedom's Pen: A Story Based on the Life of Freed Slave and Author Phillis Wheatley - eBook
Have questions about eBooks? Check out our eBook FAQs.
Product Description
▼▲Product Information
▼▲Format: DRM Protected ePub Vendor: Moody Publishers Publication Date: 2009 ISBN: 9781575673028 | ISBN-13: 9781575673028 Ages: 9-12 Series: Daughters of the Faith |
Publisher's Description
▼▲There are a few elements of this series that separate it from many other children's book biographies. First, these books are about little girls. They are not biographies of the entire life of these characters- these are stories about girls who made a difference while they were still young. This enables the young girl readers to relate to the characters more than they would if these characters had to wait until they were thirty or forty before doing anything significant.
Second, these stories are faith journeys. Wendy gets inside the minds of these girls in order to portray their struggles to make God an active part of their lives.
In 1761, Phillis Wheatley was a little girl of seven or eight years old when she was captured in Gambia and brought to America as a slave. But she didnt let her circumstances keep her down. She learned to read and write in English and Latin, and showed a natural gift for poetry. By the time she was twelve, her elegy at the death of the great pastor George Whitefield brought her worldwide acclaim. Phillis became known to heads of state, including George Washington himself, speaking out for American independence and the end of slavery. She became the first African American to publish a book, and her writings would eventually win her freedom. More importantly, her poetry still proclaims Christ almost 250 years later.
Author Bio
▼▲Philliss story begins in Africa with a slice of what her life might have been like. The authors note explains that Phillis mentioned her life in Africa only three times in her writing, so little is known of what it was actually like. The author describes enough of the slave ship environment for girls to know that it was horrid and evil without being graphic.
Lawton chronicles Philliss unusual relationship to the Wheatley family as not quite slave and not quite family, as Susannah Wheatley tries to help others realize that Africans were human by showing that they could learn if given a chance. Lawton also shows the difficult and lonely position this places Phillis in, as other slaves reject and resent her. Phillis attempts to apply Scripture such as Love your enemies and pray for them that spitefully use you (Matthew 5:44) to a fictional relationship with a hostile fellow slave.
Freedoms Pen is well-written, moving, and enjoyable. From a biblical viewpoint, it introduces young readers to a historical character who achieved great things in her short life. My nine-year-old daughter loved reading it and had me read it to her after she read it. She had no trouble with the vocabulary or with the descriptions of life on shipboard. I am considering purchasing other books in this series because of this one. Debbie W. Wilson, www.christianbookpreviews.com

Cheri Williams5 Stars Out Of 5April 25, 2009Cheri WilliamsThis review was written for Freedom's Pen: A Story Based on the Life of Freed Slave and Author Phillis Wheatley.A tragic beginning, an unlikely intervention, and a life of hope and love in the hands of a master storyteller. Award-winning author, Wendy Lawton, does it again in her most recent installment of The Daughters of the Faith series. Freedoms Pen is an historical fiction stand-alone billed for eight to twelve-year-olds, but a book even the most sophisticated reader will enjoy. Phillis Wheatley was kidnapped into slavery, sold on an auction block and transplanted into pre-revolutionary war-brewing Boston. She lived during a time when slave children remained uneducated, women were rarely published and most didnt believe a slave could learn to read much less become a celebrated writer. Despite all odds, she became a popular poet, the first African-American to publish a book, and one of the first writers to earn a living from her work. Lawton flawlessly knits known facts and fictional details into a riveting story of loss, hope, and triumph. The reader is transported to Africa, the horrors of a slave ship, and then to the affluent Wheatley home in a way that is historically accurate, but without so much detail as to overwhelm young readers. Lawton handles heavy themes with an eye toward age-appropriateness. The characters are riveting, real, and complex: from the cruelty of the slave traders, to the generosity and caring of the slave-owning Wheatleys, to Phillis with her heart-wrenching loss, struggle, and ultimate victory. Affluent visitors and resentful slaves in the Wheatley household add additional tension. Faith and prevalent Christian themes are explored and lived out without being preachy. The ending comes quickly but leaves the reader satisfied. A back-of-book glossary and non-fiction notes add fullness and closure to the reading experience. Highly recommended for anyone with a bent toward history, humanity, or hope. From the Christian Library Journal; used by permission.

It was so great to find a book written for young adults but entertaining for all ages.The author makes history come alive with her incredibly real characters and I look forward to the next title in this Daughters of the Faith series. Its everything historical fiction ought to be, definitely worth reading.
Kristi Holl5 Stars Out Of 5January 23, 2009Kristi HollThis review was written for Freedom's Pen: A Story Based on the Life of Freed Slave and Author Phillis Wheatley.Freedoms Pen is a compelling and tender true story that chronicles the life of a seven-year-old African girl who is kidnapped by slave traders, survives a harrowing voyage to America, and is purchased by a Boston family. Instead of receiving the beatings she fears, Phillis (named after the name of her slave ship) is treated with kindness. She brings her love of language and storytelling from Africa to Boston, where she is tutored in reading and writing. At twelve, she writes poetry that stirs the soul. She is first published at thirteen. She writes about Jesus being the Savior of the slaves as well as the white people. Phillis knows her words are hard for some to swallow, but it is the truth. She suffers persecution for being different from the other slaves, but she focuses on her gratitude to God to see her through. Inspiring story!

Service-Learning combines learning with action in real life situations outside the four walls of the classroom. Students have the opportunity to learn and develop as leaders through active participation in their own communities in a way that:
Students can earn 1 unit of transferable credit (to the CSU system) by enrolling in IDST 94, volunteering 20 hours in the community and completing the required course assignments.
For more information, including available courses, a volunteer directory and downloadable documents, please go to the Service Learning & Volunteerism Homepage at http://www.butte.edu/servicelearning.
Message from the President of Butte College:
The Butte College Office of Service Learning & Volunteerism continues to help with the transition of students between the classroom and the community with service-learning opportunities. Service-learning & Volunteerism at Butte College provides students the opportunity to use what they learn in the classroom while working in related areas, plus they contribute quite a bit to our communities.
The value of service-learning is that students gain valuable experience that is most often course-related. It brings their learning to another level when they can combine what they learn in the classroom with the practical world. Students gain hands-on educational experience, as well as an understanding and an appreciation of civic contributions. The community is delighted with our ability to assist them with their needs; plus it's great when they get to know our students and see what they are learning... everyone wins in that situation. The college collaborates with the community and provides innovative opportunities for connecting academic endeavors with the community, and our students learn in the "real world" and bring valuable information back to the classroom.
I challenge each of you to become involved in service-learning. As a student, visit the Office of Service-Learning & Volunteerism (Career Center) to enroll in IDST 94 and receive a service-learning placement in an area that's related to your studies or in an area of interest to you. You'll be happy you did. As a faculty member, please encourage your students to become engaged in activities and learning outside the classroom. Hands- on experience is essential in this day and age as the world around us changes so quickly. It adds a component that is often difficult to convey and capture in the classroom. The experiences students gain can sometimes change their lives and their choices for their futures. As you know, nowadays people look for experience, degrees, and those who contribute to their community, when hiring. Let's give our students the opportunity to be well-rounded and take what they learn at the college and put it into practice in a safe environment. Give your students that opportunity to excel!
Butte College Office of Service Learning & Volunteerism,

I am a self-released songwriter and composer of instrumental minimalist music, using piano and computers. My music is based on repetition, enhancing a melodic pattern with a new figure or a small difference that creates a new pattern, and thus gradually. I also use superposition of several simple patterns to achieve a more elaborate pattern. My creative parameters are melody, repetition, superposition and addition.
In 2008 I found JamStudio in the web and started to experiment with music loops and chord progressions. In March 2009 I released my album Weather with nine compositions played by computer and mixed and produced by myself.
You may find my music at CD Baby and iTunes.

Photo Gallery: Great Oak High School's senior parking spaces
Armed with paint, glitter, stencils and more, dozens of high school seniors descended on the parking lot at Temecula's Great Oak High School early Monday.
Using brushes, rollers and blue painter's tape, they crafted peace signs, flowers, and several "Class of 2011" logos on the asphalt of the senior parking area as the sun rose behind them.
It wasn't a school prank -- the parking space graffiti is an annual tradition that kicks off the school year for seniors at Great Oak and several other southwest Riverside County high schools.
"It's a great way for them to start feeling connected to the school," said Great Oak activities director Don Skaggs, who oversees the event.
Great Oak initially borrowed the idea from Temecula Valley High School, Skaggs said, because it was a popular tradition that underclassmen looked forward to when they became seniors.
At Great Oak, 180 seniors paid $40 for the rights to a reserved parking space for the school year. On Monday morning, the students gathered in the parking lot to claim their spaces and make them their own. Some students purchase rights to a space even if they don't have a car to park, Skaggs said.
The popular ritual pulls teenagers out of bed before the sun comes up, with some gathering as early as 5 a.m. to ensure they land just the right spot.
Victoria McDowell, 16, and Rachel Head, 17, made a scouting trip in advance to figure out which spaces they'd like and to take measurements of the white squares painted in each parking space to serve as the students' canvases.
Monday morning, the pair painted matching scenes of the sun setting over the ocean and planned to add silhouettes of palm trees to their designs.
"Since I was in elementary school I wanted to paint my senior parking space," McDowell said. "My mom painted her space at TVHS (Temecula Valley High), that's how I knew about it."
Kalia Spoon, 17, recruited her boyfriend, Chris Phillips, 18, to help. The two filled the white space with "K-Fresh," a nickname of Spoon's, and "Class of 2011," outlining the entire image in green.
"I'm really excited to do this," Spoon said. "It's the first thing you get to do as a senior."
Clark Belts, 17, was one of several students who recruited family members to help with the painting effort.
"He can't color in the lines," Clark's mom, Lisa Belts, joked.
Belts and his mom outlined a shark in black and were planning to add a scuba dive sign to the space he'll use for his Dodge Challenger.
"I'm the president of the scuba club," Clark Belts said. "I thought it reflected me."
