Tipping in a Foreign Country: The U.S.
I ordered takeout from my favorite neighborhood restaurant tonight. As I stood next to cash register to receive and pay for my food, I noticed something going on before my eyes.
First, I noticed a family of four -- two kids and two adults -- get up and get ready to leave.
As the family started to leave (you know this sometimes takes some time), one of the waiters came to register with cash in his hand, presumably from someone having paid his bill. He kept counting through the bills (I counted maybe $70), as if somewhat distressed.
Eventually, another waiter says to the alpha male of the departing family, "Was everything okay? Did we do something wrong?"
Uh-oh, I thought.
"No, everything was fine," the guy responded.
"Well, I was just asking because you didn't leave any tip," the waiter continues.
Just for the record here, I don't really condone waiters doing this. Whether by oversight or by deliberate omission, sometimes people don't leave tips. I'm not a fan of waiters shaking down their patrons for their lack of tipping skills. It's rude and a bit tacky.
Anyway, the guy didn't understand what was meant by this. "Customarily," the waiter explained, "Diners add an extra 15% to for their waiters here."
"We're from New Zealand," the diner explained. But he didn't reach for his pocket, that's for sure.
"What's wrong?" his wife asked, coming back to the scene while the two kids lingered near the front of the restaurant.
"Nothing," the husband said, firmly.
I wasn't looking, but I'm reasonably confident that the waiter -- whose English skills weren't the best, by the way (I clarified his sentences for him in this entry) -- gave up explaining the concept and waved him off, probably dismissively, in a "whatever, just go already" kind of way.
Then they left.
I couldn't help thinking that any reasonable guide book published by any decent New Zealand company would have described the tipping etiquette in this country. And I couldn't help thinking that when Americans go abroad without bothering to learn the accepted social customs in the destination country, they get slammed with the "Ugly American" label pretty damn quick. Yet here it was, a Kiwi couple who apparently not only didn't bother to learn tipping etiquette for American restaurants, but they didn't even seem open to the thought of learning it when they were confronted with it.
It also led me to wonder how many other servicepeople they've stiffed so far, and how many they will stiff in the near future. I presume they're not cooking during their stay here, so each meal will likely entail a waitstaff who, it seems, are not getting tipped. If they're staying in a hotel, they probably won't leave a little something for the cleaning staff, whether it be on a daily basis or at the end of their entire stay. What if they catch a cab anywhere?
Of course, it's all just a part of the culture here. I couldn't help scripting out in my mind what kind of conversation I would have had with this couple had the opportunity for a civil discourse on the matter arisen. I suppose I would have explained to them the notion here in the States that, just as a matter of course, diners leave more money than covers their bill on the table. "It's a gratuity for the waitstaff and others who make your dining experience enjoyable," I'd say.
Then I can imagine them coming back: "But isn't that built into the price on the menu? They charge $12 for a meal when I could buy the ingredients for $5. That extra is what should be going towards the waitstaff and others 'who make the dining experience more enjoyable.'"
And to that, I suppose my only response would have to just be, "Well, that's what we do around here."
As it is, I know I already have one friend who doesn't tip cleaning people in hotels just on general principle. Like the theoretical Kiwi response above, his philosophy is that you don't pay over $100-200 per night to stay in a room then pay extra for something like cleaning service, which, ahem, is expected when you stay in a hotel. I just tip because it's customary anyway, but yes, sometimes I do wonder where all that money goes if they at those rates they still can't afford to pay their staff decent salaries or wages.
Anyway, it's a little refreshing -- though not in a good way, I guess -- to know that sometimes, the "Ugly American" myth is just as easily transportable to other foreigners visiting our soil.

ALL IN THE FAMILY: Phoebe Philo's young family is growing. The former Chloé designer last week gave birth to her second child, a boy, a new brother for two-year-old Maya. Philo and her husband, Max Wigram, have yet to release the baby's name.
MANHATTAN TRANSFER: Sam Shipley and Jeff Halmos, the two members of the Trovata quartet who left the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund-winning, surf-inspired sportswear label in December, are going to hang 10 in New York's SoHo district. Halmos said the duo will move to Manhattan in a couple of weeks to launch their new line, dubbed Shipley & Halmos, for the spring 2008 selling season. At their farewell party on Saturday at West Hollywood's Seven nightclub, where designers from Quiksilver, Fox, Fremont and other Southern California clothing labels gave the Trovata alumni a rowdy send-off, Halmos said New York has more to offer than Los Angeles in terms of creativity and resources. Trovata is currently designed by the sole remaining member, John Whitledge. The fourth founding member, Josia Lamberto-Egan, left Trovata last June.
ENTENTE CORDIALE: Not since the opening of the mega Mall of America have so many retailers converged on one site. This time, it's for Josie Natori, who will celebrate her 30 years in business with an "intimate" dinner for 90 people at La Grenouille on Nov. 1 with retail chief executives Steve Sadove of Saks Fifth Avenue, Burt Tansky of the Neiman Marcus Group, Terry Lundgren of Macy's Inc., Pete Nordstrom of Nordstrom Inc., Michael Gould of Bloomingdale's and Bill Dillard 2nd of Dillard's, hosting the dinner. "This is a great time for Josie," Sadove said. "She's not only celebrating her 30th anniversary, her son just got married, and she's as inventive and innovative as she's ever been. She's everywhere — Paris, the Philippines. Very few people have her energy level."
HELMUT LANG ON MELROSE AVENUE: Designer brand Helmut Lang will open a boutique on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles in late summer. The freestanding store — under construction across the street from Melrose Place — is adjacent to a new 4,000-square-foot Theory boutique, which is also owned by Helmut Lang's parent company, Japan's Link Theory Holdings Co. Ltd. The store will be the only freestanding Helmut Lang unit in the U.S., though the company is said to be eyeing retail space in New York.
HIGH ON A HILL: Even with all the recent examination of the late fashion icon Nan Kempner, there's one aspect of her life that's a bit fuzzy: whether she truly considered herself a New Yorker, instead of hailing from her native San Francisco, which she left at age 21 for the Big Apple. At the opening last week of "Nan Kempner: American Chic" at San Francisco's de Young Fine Arts Museum, some light on her hometown allegiance was shed by Harold Koda, head curator of the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute in New York, where the exhibit of her couture collecting originated. Before Kempner died two years ago, she had given the de Young 54 couture pieces and the Met only a half-dozen. "She was giving the first right of refusal to the de Young, not the Met," Koda said during a preview of the exhibit. Being from the City by the Bay also informed Kempner's fashion sense, Koda said. "Her Francophile love is really San Francisco. It is very different than Los Angeles," he observed. As for fans of Kempner's couture — she collected more than 5,000 pieces — the de Young's exhibit of 75 pieces has 25 outfits not shown at the Met, like a stunning Valentino marigold yellow and burgundy silk velvet dinner jacket with beaded embroidery, sable trim, citrine rhinestones and gold fringe.
A DRESSING DOWN: The dress craze storms on, but Bud Konheim sees it as old hat. Before Nicole Miller's first resort fashion show Wednesday, Konheim said, "Everyone is acting like the dress is some new thing." Miller has been doing them throughout her 25 years in business, he noted. In fact, after decades of dresses dominating the fashion scene, it was civil rights leader Ralph Abernathy who had more to do with reversing the trend than anyone else. "After Martin Luther King was killed, he had people marching in the streets and then it became OK to wear jeans and sportswear," Konheim said.
ROCHA ON DOVER: John Rocha plans to open a store in a former pub at 15a Dover Street in London in September. The 2,200-square-foot corner store, near Dover Street Market, will cover three floors and preserve the pub's original stained glass windows. It will carry women's and men's wear, accessories, jewelry and the crystal collection that Rocha designs for Waterford. It will also stock a selection of the designer's favorite modern art books. Rocha's last store, in London's Brompton Cross, closed about eight years ago.

2009 Hofele
Design Porsche Cayenne
Specifications ----
1/4 mile
0-62 mph
Top Speed
(from Hofele Press
Release) World premiere at this years SEMA Show in Las Vegas,
USA: Aerodynamic kit �Ceyster GT 660� for Porsche Cayenne 957
- Hofele-Design gives
the sportive SUV from Stuttgart a touch of Maserati -
The new styling kit for the Porsche Cayenne 957 consists of a
complete front bumper with four distinctive additional lights, new
LED day driving light and a double light with cornering light and
fog light. Big air intakes provide the intercooler of the big Turbo
engines with more air. Trapezoidal tailpipes made of stainless steel
are integrated into the new rear apron. The rear diffuser is
removable to give access to the trailer coupling and is also
available in carbon.
The wide body kit
consists of two front fenders with air intakes, side skirts and
wheel arch extensions for the front and rear axle.
Hofele-Design calls this product
�Ceyster GT 660�
Optional available are
the double rear roof spoiler and the hood scoop �Power Dome� which
gives the ordinary hood a more dynamic profile.
A Duplex stainless steel muffler provides an adequate sound for this
luxury car.
Pirelli tires in the size 295/30 R22, mounted on the mighty 22 inch
�Reverso 22� designer wheels take care about the right traction. The
car can be lowered 40mm either with sport springs or an ETS module
which lowers the air suspension.
Used materials: the complete conversion kit �Ceyster GT 660� is made
of HPC High Performance Compound material, a T�V approved, heat
resistant Composite-Compound material with Kevlar/Carbon-inlays. All
the other parts are made of PU-RIM.
The Clou with the Hofele-Cayenne-Kit is that thanks to the so called
�Upgrade� kits the body kit is also suitable available for the
Cayenne 955 pre-facelift model. Therefore the kit transfers the
pre-facelift model into the new look of the facelift model with an
individual sportive touch.
More information is available under

Citizens of Chicago, food-TV obsessives, our long nightmare is over:
Meet Catherine De Orio.
She's Italian. She's in her mid-30s. She lives in the West Loop. She's married to a lawyer. She has no food allergies. She has a throaty, confiding voice. Her favorite color is green, and if she were a tree, she would be a fig tree ("beautiful leaves, and edible …"). She once owned a goldfish that committed suicide by leaping out of its bowl and into a garbage disposal.
Also, she just signed a one-year contract with WTTW-Ch. 11. Yes, after five months of speculation and lobbying, an audition process that drew more than 900 applicants, more than 10,000 online votes from viewers and a fair amount of gut-level consideration from producers …
Catherine De Orio is the new host of "Check, Please!"
De Orio — whose selection has been known and closely guarded for weeks, so much so that producers and station executives would only refer to her as "the chosen one" internally — now becomes the face, moderator and "brand ambassador" of the wildly successful, long-running restaurant-review round table, the highest-rated show on Chicago public television. Indeed, De Orio appears genetically engineered for "Check, Please!" duties, possessing every quality that David Manilow, the show's creator, has been publicly espousing since Alpana Singh, the previous host, announced last winter she was leaving the show after 10 seasons.
A self-described noncritical food writer (for the online magazine Eater and the glossy print publication Vegas), De Orio's up on food trends and local restaurants, but doesn't have a history of panning or praising Chicago establishments. A self-employed media personality and "culinary consultant" — "I do a lot of corporate recipe development and spokesperson work for brands, on TV and at events," she said — she's comfortable in front of a camera (unlike Singh, whose mild on-screen presence was never entirely satisfying, even to Singh).
Plus, well, De Orio is so nice — a quality that Manilow has also been stressing for months.
Last week, an hour or so after being told she was the new host, she hugged this reporter.
"I'm sorry," she said. "I have no sense of personal space, and I'm a hugger, and this is killing me. I have been told I can't tell anyone about this until the official announcement, and I have watched this show since Amanda Puck (the host for the first two seasons) was on, and I remember watching with a friend and saying, 'I want that job.' So when I got home and the only person there was my dog, this curmudgeonly pug, I hugged her, and she was like: 'Feed me. I don't care. What does this mean for me?' Which is a typical dog."
The official announcement was to be made Wednesday on WTTW's website.
Manilow, who created the series in 2001 and since franchised "Check, Please!" spinoffs in five cities (including San Francisco and Miami), said that De Orio "reinforces what we've been doing all along. She is smart, knowledgeable about food and wine, and sure, there is somewhat of a gut feeling here: As we went through this process, we would see certain people and think, 'There's the new host.' But then those people would fall to the wayside, yet Catherine was one of the few people who I liked her audition tape then I met her and liked her even more. Then she auditioned for us, and I liked her even more. And her story appealed."
Unlike Singh (who grew up in California) and Puck (Staten Island), De Orio is the show's first host from the Chicago area. She grew up in Elmwood Park, studied art and political science at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, became a litigation lawyer, then became disillusioned and went to Kendall College culinary school — not to be a chef but "to celebrate food," she said. (Her audition video resembled a courtroom parody and featured De Orio swearing on Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking.")
That said, despite the months of hype leading to this announcement, De Orio's duties mostly amount to moderating 13 episodes a year and a handful of specials, as well as appearing at show-related events around Chicago. On the other hand, don't mistake the relative lightness of the job with a lack of consequence: Her appointment is not minor to Manilow, who owns the rights to the show and would like its success to continue — or to WTTW, which in recent years has reduced the number of ongoing series it produces. "When you think of this in terms of our branding, how iconically local the show is for us now, a change like this is a gigantic deal for this station," said Dan Soles, WTTW's chief television content officer.
One more caveat:
Though producers and executives close to the show play up her everyday relatability and use words like "authentic" to describe De Orio — despite a candidate pool that variously included the wife of chef Charlie Trotter, Ina's Kitchen owner Ina Pinkney and well-known food consultant Sarah Levy — De Orio has had a lot of previous screen time. She's appeared often on the "Today" show, "The Rachael Ray Show" and Martha Stewart's satellite radio channel. And her spokeswoman duties have not been for minor brands, but rather, among many others, Ball Park hot dogs and Hillshire Farms meats — duties that V.J. McAleer, WTTW's senior vice president of production, said will have to be reviewed on a rolling basis to avoid any conflicts of interest.
"At the same time, we are PBS," he added, "and aren't paying anyone a lot of money, and people have to make a living — we just want to be sure nothing conflicts with her as the face of a show about restaurants and food." (De Orio, for her part, said many of her contracts are up for negotiation, and she doesn't expect a problem.)
Asked if online viewer voting for a new host — supposedly part of the decision process — factored into his decision, Manilow said: "It did in the sense (that) I don't remember which place she came in, but it was not the bottom three finalists, in which case it would have mattered. (The voting) mattered enough. And look, Catherine's never read a teleprompter! Just meet her, then you'll understand the decision right away."
Yes, you do.
We met near a park outside her home; coffeehouses, being full of snoops, were ruled out. She played it nice and clandestine: She wore a tweed Dolce & Gabbana suit and heels, huge black sunglasses and the expensive-looking blond highlights of a movie star. Every passing dog-walker and jogger in Lululemon cast a glance. Her smile is gigantic, her laugh is even bigger and she talks a mile a minute — Annie Hall meets Nigella Lawson.
Asked why she left law for food, she answered for a solid five minutes.
A few highlights:
"My background started in the arts. I worked at the National Gallery of Art straight out of college, where I worked for the Italian Renaissance painting curator. I was his researcher. Then I went to Italy on a Guggenheim Fellowship, where you meet visiting scholars and give talks and do papers, and though I didn't really care for the modern art, because I'm an old-masters person, it was great to learn about the Venetian School. … Then I became worried about living in big cities and making no money, so people suggested I try law school … but when I got out of law school, I ended up working for a not-for-profit and basically dealing with licensing agreements, which is awful! The only person who cared is my dad, because now I'm a lawyer — and you do learn to negotiate and speak in front of people in law school, which are translatable skills — but I'm ready to slit my wrists. So I went to culinary school and didn't tell my parents for a long time, but it was my time! My money! But, of course, to parents, being a lawyer is more legit than slaving over a stove. …"
She talks a lot.
"I know!" she said. "I have damaged vocal cords!"
She added that, because other finalists were at the WTTW offices the day that she was anointed as the host, Manilow asked her not to skip on her way out of the building. "It was so hard!" she said. "I nodded to people on the way out and had to look serious. It was awful! Then I got in my car and had a stupid grin all the way home."
Taping for the 13th season of "Check, Please!" begins next month, and new episodes air in the fall. De Orio has already downloaded a teleprompter-reading app for her iPad. Chicago, everything's going to be all right.

Electric vehicle executive to speak at UH Manoa engineering banquetUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Marketing & Public Affairs
Pete Cooper, a representative of a California-based startup company that has partnered with the State of Hawaii and Hawaiian Electric Company to introduce a network of zero-emission battery powered vehicles to the islands, will be the guest speaker at the 9th Annual University of Hawaii at Manoa College of Engineering Banquet. The event, a fundraiser for the college, will be held on Thursday, April 16, 2009 at 6:30 p.m. in the Hilton Hawaiian Village's Coral Ballroom.
Cooper is a global development team representative for Better Place, a company that has agreements in Australia, Denmark, Israel and California to build new infrastructure networks to support electric vehicles. Under the plan, consumers would buy or lease electric cars from automobile dealers and Better Place would supply recharging services and replacement batteries. Better Place expects their Hawaii infrastructure of electric car charging stations to be in place by 2012.
"Sustainability is critical to Hawaii's energy survival and it has become a focal point for our efforts at the college," said College of Engineering Dean Peter Crouch. "We are thrilled to have Mr. Cooper on our program to give us the details on his company's exciting and ambitious plan to help the state reduce its dependence on oil."
The program will also feature the presentation of two special awards. Brenda McCaffrey, a 1985 engineering graduate and founder/president of Kolea Technology, will receive the college's Distinguished Alumni Award. Russell Figueiroa, president and CEO of the R.M. Towill Corporation, will be honored with the college's Outstanding Service Award.
The cost for individual banquet seats is $200 per person and table sponsorships are also available at the following levels: Platinum: $10,000; Gold: $5,000; Silver: $3,000 and Bronze: $2,000. Individual seats and table sponsorships can be purchased by calling the UH Manoa College of Engineering at (808) 956-2287.

The 2017 MAZDA6 comes in three different trims: Sport, Touring and Grand Touring. Each is powered by a 184-horsepower, direct-injection 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, with torque rated at 185 pound-feet.

NFL linemen are often nicknamed "buffet bashers."
With reason. These guys are as tall as NBA power forwards and weigh as much as a Mack truck.
Have you ever thought about what it takes to keep the entire Bears team fed and fueled during training camp?
It's a daunting task.
These not-so-gentle giants and their semi-smaller teammates depart Wednesday for Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais to begin training camp.
Plenty of sweltering two-a-day practices, conditioning drills and lifts lay ahead. That's a lot of calories to replace.
According to Sodexo, a food management service that's been supplying food for Bears training camp for more than a decade, meals are designed for each player's specific positions.
Meals are color coded to identify nutritional aspects such as high-protein, low and high fat, or high-carb so players can make the right meal selection.
During the 21 days the Bears will be at camp, the team will consume an average of 2,516 pounds of deli meat and 2,250 pounds of king crab legs.
But players and staff also will listen to their mother's age-old advice and eat their vegetables. Lots and lots of vegetables.
According to Sodexo, the team will eat more than 1,000 pounds of lettuce, 510 pounds of tomatoes and 765 pounds of cucumbers.
And feeding these guys is a round-the-clock operation.
Food preparation begins each day at 4 a.m. and wraps up at midnight, with staff providing snacks throughout the day.
Maybe the entire team should just be called buffet bashers.

742 With a terrible trigger
I recently inherited a 30.06 Remington 742 from an old, old hunting buddy, a retired navy carrier pilot who survived Korea, built and sold several fixed based airport operations, and passed on about a year ago after reclusively spending the last ten years of his life on about eight hundred acres in Missouri. doing what he immensely enjoyed. Meticulously constructed outbuildings, tractors, an impressive log main house, and saddle horses I never got so see. His daughter whom I had never met, has no interest in firearms, hunting, or the idea of selling her father's collection. She learned the names of the folks her dad hunted with, and asked if we would accept one each of his guns. A very well cared for Remington 742, 30.06 with a well mounted steel Weaver K2.5 scope, no lens caps, no lens scratches, arrived in an old canvas case. The bore is a mirror and the only external wear is from 30 +years of hand carry. I don't want to change anything but this thing has the absolutely worst, atrocious, abominable trigger I have ever come across, period. It must be a gritty, nine or ten or ten pounds and with what seems a quartrer inch of creep. I know nothing of the the construction of this gun. Can the trigger be be significantly improved or maybe just replaced? I recall pre hunt practice sessions where Jack got 1", 100 yard 4 shot groups with the thing so barrel and actions must be pretty good but the slim barrel heats up so quickly, testing is tedious. I am enamored of sub moa bolt rifles so if I can't get thing thing halfway decent, it's a gun safe queen.

I own a Remington 740 and a 742 and they both have good crisp triggers with no creep. Honestly, it sounds like some kind of gunk is hanging up the trigger or something broke. The trigger assembly is fairly simple and straight forward, and can be removed as an assembly by pushing out the two retaining pins that show through both sides of the receiver. If your not comfortable messing with it yourself, take it to a gunsmith. The rifle should have a much better trigger then you describe and yes it can be improved.

Thanks Alakar. If there's nothing obvious when I get the trigger assembly off, I want to mount one of my 3-9 scopes on it and see how well it shoots (or how well I can shoot it!) as is. What bullet weight/s do you find that these things prefer and generally what kind of 100 yd groups do you get? Ever have any extraction problems? Run of the mill reloading dies work OK?
This thing has embossed checkering so maybe I'll try the checkering tool thing and spiff it up with real, raised checkering.

Clean it and lube it first.
I would suggest not working on the trigger yourself because it is a semi-automatic with the risk of full auto. Timney has offered trigger assemblies in the past and may yet for all I know.
I'd suggest a smith who maybe does trigger work on 1100's and such. The sear/hammer relationship is usually shipped with enough of a hook that the trigger first cams the hammer backwards against the spring before releasing the hammer to fly forward. Setting the angles carefully and smoothing everything up will produce a fine light trigger - getting the angles wrong will produce an illegal full auto. Mine was done by the smith at Marshall Field's in Chicago many years ago when Field's still had an extensive gun department on the top floor that was real competition to V.L. & A. along with marble paneled restrooms. The marble was repeatedly vandalized and we all know what happened to gun departments in Chicago. I told Phil I'd pay him to do whatever seemed good to him after I bought the rifle and the trigger was great the accuracy just fine given the rifle didn't fit sandbags well and I used a K3 Weaver - in no way inferior to bolt guns. Tom Hayes wrote a number of gun and hunting books in which he praised the 742 but also suggested derattling the magazines which I did find necessary.
Gas gun loads - medium bullet weights and medium powders as suggestted for the Garand are definitely best - bolt gun loads with 200 grain Nosler round nose and a lot of H205 were definitely too high pressure at the gas port with cases still gripping the chamber walls and resulted in seriously bent rims. My understanding is that the Remington extractor with just right heat treat works beautifully but sometimes the heat treat wasn't perfect and the extractor will fail and replacements are hard to find.

I agree on not trying to do a trigger job yourself, but you can inspect and clean the trigger assembly. If nothing is obviously broken and it still has a bad trigger after a good cleaning take it to a good smith.

Thanks for the help guys. The trigger of this old beater improved a good bit with half a can of spray cleaner. Gunk, gunk, and more gunk. I think maybe Jack ran a patch or two through the bore and chamber but that's about it. My eyes are getting a bit old so I asked a 'smith to give it a look. Tool marks in the chamber, probably from stuck cases. A slight bulge in the barrel about six inches from the chamber. Nough said.
The old K 2.5 Weaver on it is another thing. It's the old single cross hair style but it's nice and bright, and I can't see any parallax. Has anyone used one these old ( I'd guess 30+years) buggers on a medium ( .357 or .44 ) handgun?
Bye the bye, on another thread, Harry Bonar mentioned a really good tip. When seating countersunk fasteners, give them a hammer tap on a screwdriver ( I've got a few messed up screwdrivers) or screwdriver bit and then finish tightening. Almost always you get a tad of a turn more. An old master machinist told me that about a hundred years ago.

mdl 742 mistake
I bought one at a gun show a few days ago. it looked like it was carried more that shot, in 243 caliber; it was to be my grandson't first deer rifle.
range time with showed bad extracter, poor chambering. I'm not ready to put it away quite yet. I ordered a different magazine for it, so there is hope.
I wonder what was going thru my head when I bought this rifle?

I shot my first buck with a 742 06 but iv learned alot about the 742 since then. The 742 is a self destruct rifle. Thats why Rem wont touch em. The main problem with the design is the bolt latch is extremely weak and constantly fails to keep the bolt head from wanting to go into a lock up position at full recoil in the back of the reciever bolt tracks. If your 742 was fired much. you can look into the reciever and see the typical "bite" marks in the bolt guide rail in the back of the reciever. I used to work for AO of Numrich Arms back in the 80's and one day this subject came up in conversation with Phil Hunter who was the manager of the gun parts store. He told me he has seen 742's come in as scrap with the recievers cracked from the bolts being locked up in the rails. I once parted out a 243 that was so bad it would lock open on nearly every shot. Rem thought they would do a quicky fix to the decades old design and use square locking lugs in the 7400 and that is a solution to the rail bite but it still has the same weak bolt lock as the 742. The 742 is just not a gun you can shoot all year long. Its a 4 shots a year gun if your young and want it to last. When I had a full service gunsmithing business, I would file out the raised bite marks, improve the bolt lock surfaces and put in a new lock spring if the old one looked short. Give the gas system n barrel a good cleaning and tell the owner to stick to lighter loaded shells where ever possible. The 742 is over ported to begin with so lighter loads normaly still cycle fine. Remington knew about this issue for 20 years befor they tryed to fix it with the 7400 series.... another reason Im not a Rem fan.

I fought a battle against my brother on monday, but I forgot to take pics of the first four or so turns , so you'll have to endure my talking instead.
Set Up
We each had a hardsuit, 4 troopers, a sergeant and 1 bolter, 1 MG and 1 rocket launcher trooper (+-180 CP). My forces started by the yellow building and his (the Tredorians)by the blue one.
Turn 1
Was uneventful I took a potshot at his hardsuit with my bolter but did no damage and his guys got ready to use grapling hooks to scale the middle building.
Turn 2
My hardsuit was destroyed (my brother got and Almighty Benny for first blood but he forgot to use it )and my guys started to climb the buildings. Also my bolter, MG and RL troopers went into the yellow building in order to be able to fire from cover.
Turn 3
All of my normal troopers but one were killed but I managed to kill his sarge and the hardsuit and a trooper or two.
Turn 4
My brother called in 72 CP worth of rebel troopers for reinfocements, sohe let me call in two commandos, a sniper and a light hardsuit (also 72 CP). One of the commandos killed himself and a Tredorian trooper with his pipebomb. he also leveled the top floor of the white middle building. By this time all that was left of my original troops were the bolter, MG and RL troopers in the yellow building, and he had a normal trooper, a bolter guy and a RL trooper.
Turn 5
Luchardsko (me)
My bolter guy shoots at the rebels,
And manages to kill two of them.
The rest of the guys in the yellow building come on to the balcony, exept for the sniper, who looks out the window.
The sniper headshots a rebel.
The commando throws a pipebomb towards the rebels on the white building.
He then flies away towards the red tower and the last Tredorian trooper.
The pipebomb explodes,
Further demolishing the white building and killing all the rebels. even the one who bailed. (the damage was like 28 on 3d10)
The light hardsuit fires a MKII missile,
And the RL trooper explodes in tons of crits and overskill damage.
Tredoria (my brother)
The last trooper shoots at the commando but fails.
He then uses his second shot to fire at the bolter guy, but also fails (both times the damage = armor)
The Tredorian bolter guy shoots twice at the commando but both his shots miss.
Turn 6
My machine gunner kills the trooperfrom point blank range.
And the the Commando shoots the bolter guy's head off.
I think that my brother would have probably won if he hadn't called in the reinfocements, he had me outnumbered at turn 4 2:1.

After NEST fight, Ross charter lands at Tweed Court
By Anindita Dasgupta
Over the past four months, Sherill Collins, a prospective parent at Ross Global Academy charter school, has gone from being nervous to ecstatic, from ecstatic to devastated and finally from devastated to ecstatic again now that the search for the charter schools location is over.
Collins and many other Ross parents can now say their children definitely have seats for school in the fall. After their initial nervousness and excitement from their childrens acceptances to the new school, disappointment cloaked the Ross parents as months of fighting for a school location ensued. Last Friday, the Department of Education announced that the Ross academy will take City Hall Academys place on the first floor of D.O.E. headquarters at the Tweed Courthouse on Chambers St. Meanwhile, the department has said they will find another location for City Hall Academy, a program designed for professional development, two-week residency programs, field trips and after-school programs.
Ross academy released a statement earlier in the week saying they are pleased with their new temporary location and look forward to starting in the fall. A spokesperson for Courtney Sale Ross, a co-founder of the school, said, Mrs. Courtney Sale Ross is just thrilled that the children at Ross Global Academy will have a place to go to school. At the moment, the plan is for the school to be in the building the next two years.
I am profoundly gratified, said Ross parent Elias Rodriguez. This hard-fought victory is stark evidence that the charter school movement is worthy of support by policy-makers and parents, especially given the huge demand for them in our district and especially given the dismal failure of the current system to serve all the children of the city, not just those belonging to families with clout and connections.
Rodriguezs charter school movement reference relates to Bloomberg and Patakis push to extend the cap on charter schools (which are publicly funded but privately operated) to 150, with the number of schools already having reached the cap of 100. Despite the $41 million Bloomberg had privately raised for the New York City Center for Charter School Excellence, a nonprofit group designed to help the citys 47 existing charters, the proposal to extend the cap stalled.
While the Ross school will enjoy its own space protected under Schools Chancellor Joel Kleins office in the fall, its effort to find space has not been fraught with conflict. Outraged by the departments decision to place the charter school in their building, parents at New Explorations into Science Technologies and Math on Columbia St. held protests and filed lawsuits against the Board of Regents, D.O.E. and Ross Global Academy. Parents from both schools grew sensitive as uncomfortable issues of class, race and privilege were raised both inside and outside the courtrooms.
Proceedings came to a halt when the department reversed its seemingly steadfast decision on July 23. Due to its sudden decision to replace longtime principal of NEST, Celenia Chevere, the department said it would temporarily place the charter school elsewhere to avoid adding to the instability of the school. Since then, Chevere has resigned and the department is no longer pursuing legal action against her on departmental charges of insubordination.
The Ross school will follow the education model developed at the Ross School of East Hampton, a private school founded 15 years ago by Ross and her late husband, Steven J. Ross, former Time Warner chairperson and C.E.O. The charter school was developed with the Ross Institute and New York University to serve Lower Manhattan families. Ross aims to educate students with diverse academic and ethnic backgrounds through an approach incorporating various cultural perspectives, technology and healthcare subjects, such as proper nutrition education.
We love the Ross School model, said Ross parent Greta Schiller. They walk the walk, not just talk, about giving all kids an equal chance, teaching with a project-based, world-cultures approach, rather than using a standardized test and standardized curriculum, when kids are hardly standard.
Ross Global Academy will start in the fall with 160 students in grades kindergarten, one, five and six, with plans to eventually grow to include up to grade 12. Over 400 students have applied and approximately 42 percent of the 158 currently enrolled students represent the Lower East Side, with the rest traveling from around the city. Students are admitted through a lottery system, which some Ross parents feel is a large draw to the school.
Collinss daughters will start kindergarten and fifth grade at the academy in the fall.
It [the lottery system] meant it was open, she said. It didnt matter where you came from, as long as you sent in your forms on time, everyone got a chance to apply. She added that the lottery system led to a diverse group of students, which would help students learn about different cultures. Our world is a diverse world, and they have to know how to learn from other cultures, she said of the students.
Rodriguez is optimistic about his daughters education in the fall.
If they fought this hard to get our kids a classroom, imagine how much more success they will engender as they strive to educate our children, he said.

Kevin Kolb and Stewart Bradley both were re-inserted into the game after suffering what were later diagnosed as concussions.
"They were fine," coach Andy Reid said. "The [doctors] felt like all the questions were answered things they did with the docs, registered well. As it went on, they weren't feeling well and we took them out."
Kolb's injury was initially diagnosed as a jaw problem after Clay Matthews slammed him to the ground. He returned to the game after the injury. He was 5-for-10 for 24 yards and was sacked twice.
Bradley's head bent back when he collided with Ernie Sims' hip. Bradley attempted to get up and then toppled over. He eventually returned to the game before being ruled out.
Asked why they were allowed to return, especially Bradley, Reid said, "Our docs and Rick [Burkholder] are on top of that. They thought he tested out OK on the sidelines."
As for their prognosis, Reid said, "I'm going to meet with the doctor and see how they all test out."
If Kolb is cleared to play and healthy, Reid said Kolb would start next week against Detroit.
Reid was asked whether he could foresee Vick becoming the starting QB at some point this season. "I think Michael did a phenomenal job today, he brought the team back, kept his poise, threw the ball well, had some good runs. I'm happy as heck for Michael. I'm not looking into the future here. Trying to get this fixed and win some football games."
Fullback Leonard Weaver has a torn ACL and center Jamaal Jackson has a torn bicep, seemingly ending their seasons. Both players will have MRIs in the morning to confirm the diagnosis.
The Eagles only have one fullback and two tight ends on the roster, so a move seems imminent. "We'll get with Howie and talk that through."
On Weaver, Reid said, "He's a phenomenal guy, a phenomenal player. That was a very ugly looking injury. I could tell right away when I started walking out on the field, he got hyperextended a little bit.
On the fourth-and-1 situation, Vick was lined up in the shotgun and stopped short. "We thought it was the right thing to do. That was the play we had, we felt strongly about it and it didn't work. We thought we could make the first down whether it was shotgun or not." Reid said they practiced the play with Vick in the shotgun.
On not having any timeouts and using the last one with 5m inutes left, Reid said, "That's just what we do there. Hindsight it was still a good idea … We just didn't get it done there at the end."

Heather Hancock, Chairman of the Food Standards Agency (FSA), has reaffirmed the organisations commitment to introducing the mandatory display of food hygiene ratings in England. This follows the successful introduction of legislation in Wales and Northern Ireland that requires food businesses to display their ratings.
Heather Hancock said:
The Food Hygiene Rating Scheme (FHRS) is now in place throughout England. Its an easy way for consumers and businesses to understand how well they meet hygiene rules, keeping us all safe.
"In Wales and in Northern Ireland, businesses are already obliged to display their hygiene rating. We have sound evidence of the difference that mandatory display makes. People vote with their feet, because its easy to choose food outlets that are taking food hygiene seriously. That means good food businesses benefit from more custom. And its an incentive for businesses with poorer standards to improve.
We welcome and agree with the recent comments from the Local Government Association calling for the same benefits to be realised from the scheme in England. That will mean introducing mandatory display of food hygiene ratings here and that has already been identified as an essential part of the wider improvements we are making to the regulatory system.
Raising standards
The Food Hygiene Rating Scheme (FHRS) was launched in November 2010 and is established in all local authorities across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It is an FSA and local authority partnership initiative which provides consumers with information about hygiene standards in food premises, based on inspections carried out by local authority food safety officers.
Evaluation of FHRS has shown that the introduction of mandatory display in Wales resulted in significantly increased business compliance with hygiene standards. The findings also showed a greater reduction in the proportion of poorly compliant businesses.
