Justified Recap: There's Always a Place for Boyd at the Dairy Queen
Had there been complaints that the season hadn't been bloody enough?
Had there been complaints that the season hadn't been bloody enough? I've been very much enjoying things, but I know that's often a complaint about serial dramas with a violent edge, that the middle of their seasons don't feel action-y enough. Well, if anyone HAD been making that complaint about Justified, this episode is here to scream in their face, all "OKAY?! THIS GOOD ENOUGH?!" The bodies are hitting the floor in rapid succession.
Let's start with Boyd, who finds himself under the thumb of the people who Shelby later refers to as the "Clover Hills swells." Good enough for me. The swells want him to murder Frank Browning for them, as you'll recall, and they're incredibly condescending/threatening to Boyd about it. So Boyd does his Boyd thing and approaches Frank with a chance to best the other guys' offer and partner up. But Frank is an ornery sort, and he forces Boyd to leave at gunpoint. Meanwhile, Wynn Duffy shows up with news that Detroit is very unhappy that he's dicking around rather than finding Drew Thompson for them. Wynn has reason to be concerned, since Theo Tonin has gotten impatient enough that he's ready to scorch the earth and have both Wynn and Boyd taken out. Seems Theo is sending down a man who "has killed more people than malaria." So basically, Boyd now has a ticking clock on him to kill Frank and find Drew. How will he ever reconcile those two tasks?
So, yeah, obviously, Boyd tells Wynn to tell Malaria Man (at least I think the assassin posing as the cop is Malaria Man; I suppose he could just be a Tonin stooge and Malaria Man is still to come) that he's narrowed Drew down to one of two guys. So Malaria Man, dressed up like a cop, tracks down Frank and then later Clover Hill swinger Sam Keener. He kills them both in brutally blunt fashion. Which certainly helps Boyd out. Wynn only finds out later, from Johnny, that neither one of those guys could be Drew Thompson. So (1) he's been fucked by Boyd, (2) Theo is gonna be EVEN MORE PISSED if he finds out, (3) Drew Thompson is still out there, and (4) Wynn informs Johnny that Boyd is as good as dead, and Johnny will be the one who has to find Drew now.
Wynn sics Malaria Man on Boyd, and that's where Raylan comes in — so let's back it up. After Raylan visits Not-Sheriff Hunter in prison and offers him the same deal he offered Arlo, i.e. "Help me find Drew Thompson and I'll hook you up in here." Apparently nobody wants to better their own situation anymore, because Hunter rejects Raylan's deal, too, probably for similar reasons as Arlo: He doesn't want to give Raylan the satisfaction. Later, though, he bribes a guard to drug Arlo and leave him in the prison barbershop (an actual place!), where Hunter plans to kill him. But Arlo's only faking being drug-dead; he turns the tables on Hunter — beats the crap out of him, in fact — until Hunter fights back and, in the scuffle, plunges a pair of scissors into Arlo's chest. Arlo hangs on long enough for Raylan to visit him on his deathbed. He asks one more time who Drew Thompson is, but Arlo only whispers, "Kiss my ass!" and those are the last words Raylan hears from his father. Later, he gets the word that Arlo is dead.
In the meantime, Raylan has Eve, Drew Thompson's un-widowed widow, looking through DMV photos, picking out the people who look like they could be Drew plus 30 years. Turns out, tracking down those guys leads Raylan to cross with Shelby, who is at the scene of the Keenan murder, and by this point, I could be Drew Thompson for all I know about what's going on. Somebody throw a dead body at me so I can stop puzzling about it. So Raylan goes to pay Boyd and Ava a visit, and he shows up just as Malaria Man is showing up, having been sent by Wynn to kill Boyd. You guys? This scene is my favorite on this show since the Bennetts were around. It seems like Raylan catches on that Malaria Man isn't a real deputy simply by the fact that he's acting like an asshole to a federal marshal, not to mention that he was just with Shelby and Shelby didn't mention sending anyone to see Boyd. At the same time, he keeps getting distracted by things like Ava's engagement ring. I admit, I still get a charge whenever Raylan and Ava are in the same room, so this was great stuff. Boyd tells Raylan that, despite any unpleasantness, he's still on the guest list for the wedding. This could probably go on forever, but Malaria Man is being a really aggressive dick, and he and Raylan suddenly draw on each other and start shooting away. By some miracle, neither Raylan, Ava, or Boyd is hit. Malaria Man sure was, though.
Boyd then gets a call from Nick Augustine (Mike O'Malley, as you'll recall), who is not so happy about the shenanigans with the false Drew identifications. Boyd does his Boyd thing and attempts to leapfrog Wynn into the Tonins' good graces. "Why would you want to back a man who got took when you could back the man who took him?" The man makes a point. Boyd offers himself to Tonins directly, and Nick's like, "Call me when you have Drew and we'll discuss your future." Boyd does ask for a favor in return, and Nick's like, "There is no 'in return.' Anything we give you is a debt we expect you to repay." Which, fine, but Boyd still gets his favor when we find out that the political support behind the Clover Hills Swells is suddenly gone and they have nothing to threaten Boyd with anymore. So Boyd calls in Gerald and Lee, takes credit for killing their enemy Frank and their friend Sam, and lays down the new world order for them: "I am the outlaw. And this is my world. And my world has a high cost of living." That cost being $100,000 from each of them. Oh, and also? "I want you men to help me get a Dairy Queen franchise." Boyd Crowder, as I live and breathe. Apparently, as we learn from Boyd's subsequent heart-to-heart with Ava, this is kind of his long-term plan to go clean. DAIRY QUEENS! Boyd Crowder is mixing your Blizzard. What a wonderful world that would be. Now Ava loves a good Peanut Buster Parfait (dream girl, seriously), but she gets really nervous at how high up the criminal ladder Boyd is climbing. "What happens when you get trouble from Theo? Who you gonna call to back him down?" There's really nobody bigger than Theo. That'll give you pause.
Supplemental Body Count of the Week
Colton Rhodes is just a mess, you guys. Johnny keeps sending him anonymous texts (on his FLIP PHONE, God bless these backward hill people) about how he knows about Ellen May, and somehow Colt is too drugged-up or dumb to realize that it's obviously Johnny. Instead, he just gets freaky and paranoid. He goes to Blossom's Brother the Drug Dealer and asks for a $20,000 "loan" to get "Ellen May" off his back. Which translates to him shooting BBtDD like eight times and then digging around for money. He's met by an underwear-clad Mark — remember Tim's army buddy who had owed BBtDD money? — and after some commiseration about how they're both "in the shit," Colt kills him too. Which should bring darling Tim into the story sooner rather than later.
Square One of the Week
Looks like Raylan's "X Days Without Having Shot Anyone" sign gets set back to zero this week. Both he and Art are very happy that it turns out he didn't shoot a real cop. On the bright side, the shooting does bring Art and Shelby into the same room, so it was double worth it.
Human Resources Challenge of the Week
Raylan is way too matter-of-fact in telling Art, Tim, and Rachel that Arlo is dead. Art's no dummy, though, and he orders Raylan to take a week off, effectively removing him from the Drew Thompson case. Raylan is super not having that, stressing that he totally doesn't even care about Arlo AT ALL. He and Art barter things down to two days off, and Raylan's not even very happy about that, but when he gets to the elevator, he's manfully fighting off tears, so obviously he needs the time. Which brings us to ...
Emmy Voters Wake-Up Call of the Week
I know Margo Martindale's win a couple years ago is more the exception than the rule, but Timothy Olyphant was EVERYTHING this week. Managing Raylan's non-reaction-reactions to Arlo's fate, at his deathbed, on that elevator, and at episode's end when he visits his dad in the morgue — you get to read everything Raylan's feeling and everything he hates about how he's feeling it.
Harlan County Theater Presents: My Fair Lady
So Shelby is letting Ellen May wear his ex-wife's clothes, huh? And encouraging Ellen May as she talks about changing her life and becoming a proper woman. And while "If you pretend to be something long enough, it's not pretending" is really good advice, I got really uneasy about a prospective romantic angle to their relationship. But it turns out — I think, I hope — that Shelby is just warming Ellen May up to tell him about whatever secret thing she's holding over Boyd and Ava. Smart. Kind of devious, actually, but smart.

Lee Mortishead wrote The Monday Column in the Racing Post: "Here's to more days to remember for women riders"
His article is paraphrased here and is also available to read in full...
There have been questions over the creation of gender-based team, not because they would be anything other than wholly capable, but because there seemed something a shade patronising about it.
But there was nothing demeaning about the events of Saturday... it was uplifting.
During Royal Ascot this year only two women, Hayley Turner and Amy Ryan, took part with just one mount each. Twenty-eight years after Gay Kelleway became the first (and remarkably still the only) female to ride a winner at Flat racing's most important fixture.
With credit to Ascot the Shergar Cup sought to raise the profile of women even before the girls' team was introduced and the results of Saturday's races, and with Sammy Jo Bell taking the Alistair Haggis Silver Saddle, illustrates the benefit of Ascot's initiative.
No jockey can succeed without opportunities – the Shergar Cup shares these chances equally and fairly, irrespective of sex, nationality or status. Talents get a proper chance to shine.
Racing would be enhanced enormously if women jockeys could regularly take part in more of the major races – it would drive interest in the sport and stimulate others to get involved.
As a patron of Women in Racing the group is delighted that Katie has been named as One to Watch in The Independent on Sunday alongside its rundown of influential women in sport.
She is with other leading ladies in racing including Nina Carberry, Ana O'Brien and Caroline Murtagh. But notice that they are all members of established, high-profile racing households.
There are currently a handful of women jockeys emerging in Ireland who have not been brought up in racing yards however, so while there remain too many reasons to be dis-sastisfied with the standing of women in the weighing room there is hope that more significant moments to celebrate in the future are on their way

State Regulations and the HIV-Positive Health Care Professional: A Response to a Problem That Does Not Exist
DiMaggio, Susan L.
Bibliographic Citation
American Journal of Law and Medicine. 1993; 19(4): 497-522.
An announcement in July 1990 concerning the possible transmission of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus from an HIV-positive health care professional to a patient launched a public outcry for patient protection from acquiring HIV from health care professionals. As a result of numerous debates, Congress issued a mandate requiring the states to adopt the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's guidelines concerning HIV-positive health care professionals or an equivalent policy. This Note explores the regulations and guidelines established by various states in response to this mandate. The author concludes that policies requiring adherence to universal precautions within the health care setting, and not mandatory testing of health care professionals or mandatory disclosure of their HIV status, are best for protecting public health.

Cindy Crosbie, Chef de cuisine
Mondo, 900 Harrison Ave. | 504.224.2633
Age: 36
Hometown: New Orleans
Past Experience: The Little Nell Hotel (Aspen, Colo.), Hyatt Beaver Creek
(Vail, Colo.)
Favorite childhood food: "Grilled cheese. I learned to make my first grilled cheese when I was 6. That was the first thing I ever cooked; I was standing on a chair in front of the stove."
Early lessons: "(My grandmother) is Scandinavian and she baked all the time. I spent a summer there when I was 10, in Minnesota. I learned to make cinnamon rolls and cakes and stuff like that and I kind of always liked it."
When she knew: "I knew at an early age what I liked to do. In college, I played around with the idea and cooked for some of my friend's sorority parties and it went from there."
First job: "John Elliot's, a barbecue place in Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri. Barbecue everywhere, head to toe, barbecue sauce. "
On cooking for New Orleanians: "Everyone is passionate, from the people who are at home to the professional chefs. Everyone is passionate about their food here. You will go anywhere and someone is talking about what they are going to cook."
On the diverse cuisine at Mondo: "I like that we don't have one particular cuisine here. I like that we can pull from everywhere and from my training."
Working for Susan Spicer: "I had always wanted to work for her because I had never worked for a female chef before. I had always been the only woman in the kitchen up until a couple of years ago when this huge influx of women started getting in the culinary scene. She has been doing this for so long. She thinks of things in an instant on the spot. She is one of the pioneers down here as far as female chefs. It is great to see her stamina in this business that is insane and how she deals with it all."
Inspiration: "I try to go out and eat as much as possible and look through books. Mostly pictures, not necessarily the recipes."
The perfect dish: "A clean dish. Cleanliness, so it is not sloppy on a plate, cleanliness of the flavor so nothing is muddled and you can experience it from beginning to end when you eat it."
Favorite technique: "Braising."
Favorite culinary fad: "I like the trend of buying from the local purveyor."
Least favorite cooking trend: "There are not any that I hate right now. Being a chef is like being an artist. So, when you have these people who are into molecular gastronomy, that is not something that I would do, but I appreciate what they do with it. And this whole sous-vide movement (slow-cooking food sealed in plastic bags in hot water) fascinates me more than anything."

Review - The Young Poisoner's Handbook
The Young Poisoner's Handbook (1995)
Benjamin Ross's gruesome but hilarious
The Young Poisoner's Handbook
is based on the true story of Graham Young. Played by Hugh O'Conor, Graham is a teenage genius whose fascination with chemistry doesn't bode well for those who rub him the wrong way. The movie's cast of cartoonish characters are as unlikeable as Graham, though not nearly as intelligent. Graham's awful family is a macabre parody of an ideal British 1960s household. A psychiatrist played by Antony Sher is the only character with any sign of subtlety or decency. In spite of its disturbing content, this fast paced film is filled with humorous juxtapositions and ironies. Still, The Young Poisoner's Handbook is, at the end of the day, a strangely believable portrait of cold madness.

Amy Tan Quotes About HeartQuotes about: Heart
Isn't that how it is when you must decide with your heart? You are not just choosing one thing over another. You are choosing what you want. And you are also choosing what somebody else does not want, and all the consequences that follow. You can tell yourself, That's not my problem, but those words do not wash the trouble away. Maybe it is no longer a problem in your life. But it is always a problem in your heart.
Then she told me why a tiger is gold and black. It has two ways. The gold side leaps with its fierce heart. The black side stands still with cunning, hiding its gold between the trees, seeing and not being seen, waiting patiently for things to come. I did not learn to use my black side until after the bad man left me.
I thought this man had long ago drained everything from my heart. But now something strong and bitter flowed and made me feel another emptiness in a place I didn't know was there. I cursed this man aloud so he could hear. You had dog eyes. You jumped and followed whoever called you. Now you chase your own tail.
She [my mother] said that if I listened to her, later I would know what she knew: where true words came from, always from up high, above everything else. And if I didn't listen to her, she said my ear would bend too easily to other people, all saying words that had no lasting meaning, because they came from the bottom of their hearts, where their own desires lived, a place where I could not belong.

Ground Covers
Vines Enhance Fences, Trellises and make excellent climbers
Home gardeners who want to add greenery to a trellis or front porch should consider adding climbing vines to their yard. These plants are beautiful, easy to grow and some are aromatic. Here are some examples of climbing vines that work well in any landscape setting
Bishop's Weed: Bishops weed, also known as snow on the mountain is a super hardy variegated ground cover. Its delicate bright green foliage with a white trim makes it a unique feature in a garden. They are high spreaders and cover unsightly areas in landscaping or where you can not keep mowed and maintained well. They hide ground debris and weeds.
English Ivy: Home gardeners who like small foliage that is well-behaved should consider English ivy. This vine is perfect for hanging baskets, containers or as a ground cover. English ivy is also a good choice for climbing on trellis, porches and other structures.
Garden Phlox: Garden phlox is a beautiful lavender ground cover that turns a pinkish color in low alkalinity soils in late summer. It's versatile and makes a carpet-like appearance full of delicate blooms covering the entire plant. Perfect for planting on hills or near rocks to gently climb and bloom all summer long.
Trumpet Vines is another great hardy one that can be trained to climb primarily because they tend to grow towards the sun. When preparing your vines to climb fences or a trellis, interweave the new shoots through the openings as they grow. If you are training vines to twine around masonry or trees, you can attach a wire to the structure at the base for the vine to climb. Taking just a little time to train your vines will bring big rewards. Your fence or other arrangements will have good coverage as these plants grow upwards.

America's biggest banks will have to hold an extra $68bn of cash on their balance sheets under stringent new rules designed to prevent a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis.
US regulators have also signalled they would like to tighten banking rules even further, as they introduced the new rule requiring lenders including JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs to shore up their capital reserves.
Under the new legislation, approved last night by the US Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Comptroller of Currency, the eight largest US banks will have to hold at least 5pc of their total assets in cash, instead of the 3pc previously required.
The rule, which will come into force in 2018, is the latest in a sweeping set of reforms designed to ensure banks have enough money to cover their losses in the event of a major financial disaster.
The change is expected to weigh on the profits of those banks affected as they will not be able to put quite as much of their cash to work.
However, the Fed signalled yesterday that it may yet go further. Dan Tarullo, the Fed's regulation tsar, said the central bank may "increase the risk-based capital surcharge for US systemically important firms to a higher level than the minimum agreed to internationally".
Such a change is particularly serious for investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, who do not have retail banking operations that accept cash deposits from customers.
However, all of the affected banks, including Citigroup, Bank of New York Mellon, Wells Fargo and State Street, will have to take the new capital requirements into consideration as they weigh up whether to pay dividends.

Offensive lineman Jake Fruhmorgen (6-5, 282, Tampa, FL Plant) came to Gainesville for junior day last week and came away highly impressed with Florida's new offensive line coach.
"The visit went very well; it was a cool visit," Fruhmorgen said. "I got the chance to see Coach (Will) Muschamp again and meet the new offensive line coach Mike Summers and it was a good deal. That was my highlight of the trip getting to meet Coach Summers finally."
This was the first time for Fruhmorgen and Summers to meet and the visit proved quite informative.
"It was my first time getting to talk to Coach Summers and he was telling me about the new offense and about his philosophy," Fruhmorgen said. "He's a good coach and real technical about the offense line. He's different from Coach (Tim) Davis and in a better way so that helps Florida. I expected a lot out of him and he lived up to it."
When Fruhmorgen finished talking with Summers he headed over to Will Muschamp's offense where the two talked about the spread offense being implemented by new coordinator Kurt Roper.
"Coach Muschamp was telling me that the offense was going to be different this year," Fruhmorgen said. "I think I fit in well into that style offense that he wants at Florida because I have grown up playing in the spread offense at Plant."
There had been talk that Fruhmorgen would publically narrow down his list but he says he not quite ready to do that yet but he does have a few schools standing out.
"I haven't really narrowed it down too much," Fruhmorgen said. "I've narrowed it down in my head some but right now I'm not ready to release it. I know Florida, Clemson, Georgia, Ole Miss, Texas and Alabama are schools that I want to look at more. I want to make my decision this summer."
With colleges starting spring practice up in the new few weeks Fruhmorgen has plans to visit two schools to watch how the offensive line is coached up in a practice.
"I plan to go back up to Florida for a spring practice when they start," Fruhmorgen said. "I want to see Coach Summers in action and see how he works with the linemen. After that I think we might go see Clemson again too."

"Which is just to say that in a diverse nation with more than 300 million citizens, opinions are going to vary on the pros and cons of extended business hours. How strapped for cash are you? Where does your family live? What's your relationship with them like? How sentimental are you about specific holiday rituals? People will differ. This Thanksgiving there are going to be people with jobs at the Gap who wish they weren't working Thanksgiving but feel that they'd lose their jobs if they weren't willing to take an extra shift. There are also going to be people with jobs at Radio Shack who wish they could earn some extra cash and get out from under that credit card debt. I'm not persuaded that there's a first-order question of social justice here one way or the other." — Matthew Yglesias

Let the Kanga do the work
Designed for use with the Kanga loader, this extremly versatile and highly productive attachment is ideal for breaking up pavements, sidewalks and driveways, and internal and external demolition.
Two models of breaker are available for the Kanga range, one designed for the hydraulic flow/output of the compact Kanga 2 Series (Kid), and are a larger, more powerful one for the 5, 6, 7 & 8 Series Kanga loaders, with even greater abilities and performance levels.
Fitting such a powerful breaker to such a verstaile, responsive, compact and agile machine like the Kanga loader also significantly reduces operator exposure to HAV (Hand Arm Vibration) levels, and in doing so, enables the breaker to be used for significantly greater periods of time than conventional breakers. Fitting the breaker to a Kanga loader also eliminates the manual handling of otherwise heavy breakers around site.
The breaker when fitted to a Kanga loader is also very efficient at removing tiles and similar materials.
A hydraulic oil cooler is required for extended periods of use. A hydraulic oil cooler is available as an optional extra for the Kanga 2 Series (Kid), but fitted as standard on all Kanga 5, 6, 7 & 8 Series loaders.
With over 60+ labour/time saving attachments available for the Kanga loader, if you can't see an attachment to suit your specific requirements, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We are developing Lightning : an open protocol layer that leverages the power of blockchains and smart contracts to make cheap, fast, private transactions available to anyone around the world. User growth and application innovation in the blockchain ecosystem are driving the need for new protocol layers that build on the security and ubiquity of blockchains. Lightning is one of the first and most essential of these protocols, providing blockchains with the scalability to support magnitudes more users as well as the flexibility to support a new wave of financial applications.
The most advanced and most developer-friendly implementation of the Lightning Network protocol. provides superior reliability, interoperability and security for the next generation of global-scale financial applications.
Learn More
An open platform developed by Lightning Labs that enables users with mobile devices to conduct blockchain and Lightning Network transactions quickly and easily.
tiffany blue nike free runs swarovski outlet
provides "light clients" with security and privacy that weren't available with previous light client concepts.
The Lightning protocol is developed in the open, all specifications and related code are open source. Contributors are welcome!
Lightning is an overlay network built on top of an existing blockchain protocol. Similar to how the Internet is built in layers, Lightning creates an entirely new layer, offering instant, high-volume payments that are denominated in the blockchain's native currency. Our implementation, lnd, has been primarily developed for Bitcoin, and we have also integrated Litecoin support.
The Lightning Network maintains and contributes to Bitcoin's core decentralization property, with the network being composed of a diffuse network of many small nodes routing payments amongst each other. This topology is designed to disincentivize centralized points of failure.
In order to use Lightning, you'll need a Lightning-enabled Bitcoin or Litecoin wallet. A Lightning wallet has all the same functionality as a regular wallet, but also allows one to instantly send/receive payments via Lightning. You can join our Slack or mailing list for additional details on testing lnd and Lightning wallets.
Lightning doesn't use its own token or currency, it only uses Bitcoin when on the Bitcoin blockchain. Lightning sends payments using the transaction format of the underlying blockchain. When running on Bitcoin, Lightning is actually exchanging native Bitcoin transactions—without the need to broadcast every transaction to the chain. This combined with a series of pre-signed contracts enables users on Lightning to send instant, low-fee payments, without having to trust central intermediaries.

HOLLYWOOD — In unusually harsh terms, the city accused officials of Memorial Hospital Wednesday of distorting the truth in an ongoing dispute about proposed helicopter landings at the hospital.
In legal documents filed with Broward County Circuit Judge Robert Andrews, the city said that hospital officials have ``distorted the facts,`` ``misconstrued`` state law and ignored the legal authority of municipalities.
``There isn`t one thing we agree on,`` said Assistant City Attorney Saul Smolar. ``Everything is in dispute.``
In July, the South Broward Hospital District, the agency governing Memorial Hospital, filed suit against the city and asked Andrews to let the hospital build a ground-based helicopter landing pad.
City commissioners refused to let Memorial build the helipad because they believed it would be unsafe and that noisy helicopters would disturb residents near the hospital.
In the suit, the hospital district argued that city commissioners have no power to deny Memorial`s request and that they ignored a study commissioned by the hospital that said the pad would be safe.
The suit also accuses the city of endangering the lives of people who need air transport for emergency care and that sick babies across Florida may need to be flown to Memorial for specialized care.
In response, the city said that state law requires Memorial to follow the City Commission`s orders and that the hospital is ignoring the needs of residents near the hospital who object to helicopter landings.
``The public which the hospital services -- the residents of south Broward -- have little need for a helistop,`` the city`s legal response says. ``The helistop is not really necessary for emergencies in south Broward because an ambulance can respond quicker to an emergency and can get to the hospital almost as fast.``

Day 160 -- Lux Look
When: Thursday, February 7th, 2013
Where: Studio
Another quick outfit today. I feel like I have about a thousand things on my to do list and sometimes getting dressed in the cutest outfit ever doesn't get first priority. I just layered on my favorite basics and ran with it.
The pink pop of color makes this outfit a bit more interesting than your average jeans a tee look. I'm obsessed with this simple black tee. The long sleeves feel so slimming and the the modest v keeps me from feeling like a nun.
I love the look of these polka dot flats with cuffed ankles. It feels so Parisian. The little bow ties are just so cute! I absolutely love this outfit because, even though it is incredibly simple, it feels luxe, sexy, and fun!

NCIS Spoilers: "Spark Still There" For Ziva and TonySteve Marsi at . Comments
The January 26 episode of NCIS, "Jetlag," finds Tony and Ziva in Paris on business.
But what many inquiring fans of TV's top show want to know is whether there will be more than business taking place between the special agents in the City of Light?
"The episode puts them in the most romantic city in the world," NCIS executive producer Shane Brennan said, noting that "and it puts them in the same hotel room."
But does anything actually happen in that room?
"There will be a realization that the spark is still there," he says. "It doesn't mean something is going to be resolved, but it does mean that the journey may have started again."
That's about as cryptic as it gets, Shane. Talk about choosing words carefully!
"It's a long road back," Brennan adds. "When you think about what they went through, for them to resolve what happened and come to terms with that, it's a long road back."
Somehow, we imagine restless Tiva fans are willing to travel that road.
Romantic developments between them or not, it's a joy to watch the interplay between NCIS cast members Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo week in and week out.

GORGEOUS FURTUNITURED ROOM IN BERLIN-SPANDAU (Berlin)
The room is 19 square m, Protected content (includes internet/heat/water) in a very cozy area of Spandau with a great oppurtinities for shopping.
You only need 5 minutes by food to a big shopping mall called Spandauer Arkaden or to the old town of Spandau.
There are a lot of transportation possibilities: train, S-Bahn, U-Bahn and Bus. There are two stations that are also only 5 min away from the apartment: S+U Rathaus Spandau (U7) ans S-Stresow.
From the kitchen window one can see the river Havel. It is nice to jog in this area. In the kitchen is a washing machine and a fridge, which you could share with me. Our bathroom is very small with a toillet and a shower.
Unfortunatelly the apartement is located in the 4th floor without lift. As I am young it is no problem for me and hopefully it won´t be one for you. I am almost 21 years old and a student. I am looking forward to listen from you. It doesn´t matter, if you want the apartment for a short- or longterm. Feel free to contact me with any questions. engdeuspa(at)yahoo.de

Have you ever been to Japan? If the answer is yes, means that you should know this remarkable chou pastry. With thick yet crispy puff pastry and gooey fillings, Sora Croquant Chou was just landed in Jakarta the last couple of days ago.
Specialized in cream pastry, this signature menu took its recipe from Tokyo. In Tokyo, they used a sprinkle of almond on top of chou pastry then stuffed with any fillings, and yes, it is entirely similar here. The whole baking process has also met the Japanese standard with the huge and gigantic oven at the corner. First time I saw this, I immediately fall in love with this small little pastry shop. How about you? :)
Nestled in Lippo Mal Puri exactly at the top level in front of XXI and Timezone, Sora Croquant Chou comes in petite size dining area. With thematic light bulb and floral decor, each guest might feel the warmness of this venue. Nevertheless, the warm hospitality from each staff would lead you to another level of dining satisfaction. I visit them on Sunday (PH), and it is very packed with people. There is an unstoppable crowd right there, and people keep on joining the line. Just make sure you come at the right time like mid afternoon or mid-evening to avoid the long line of individuals.
Start with the best-selling item called Croquant Chou with Nutella (IDR 20,000 / S$ 2,60 / piece). Featuring the nicely baked pastry shell with an almond crust; stuffed with Nutella cream. In fact, it tastes better than it looks! That pastry shell is unbelievably crispy and thick which I never found anywhere else in Jakarta so far. Also, that Nutella cream is naturally sweet and gooier. Just have it while it warm for the best experience. Therefore, one piece is never enough.
Another iconic menu they got is Croquant Chou with Vanilla Ice Cream (IDR 20,000 / S$ 2,60 / piece). Featuring an ice cream sandwich using that crispy and buttery pastry shell. What I love the most from this item is that vanilla ice cream which is sweet and not quickly melts. At first, I did not expect for a perfect marriage between ice cream and cream pastry. But, in the end, I need to admit that I just love this. No wonder many customers always come to Sora Croquant Chou to order this menu. Perhaps, I will get my second piece soon! :)
If you are an ice cream folks, this new item might entertain you much called Camembert Cheese Ice Cream with Cone (IDR 20,000 / S$ 2,60 / piece). For some people, camembert cheese might sound new, because it is rare to used in Jakarta. Camembert cheese is soft, creamy, surface-ripened cow's milk cheese which is originally from Normandy, in northern France. Then, when it comes in the form of ice cream? I need to admit; this item is must try! It's fluffy, soft, and a bit of sweet. Just take a quick snap for it since it comes in a gorgeous presentation.
Sora Croquant Chou is a perfect destination for best Japanese pastry in town. I never expect a small pastry shop can sell that addictive dessert for my liking. Just try whatever you like since it tastes so good.

i want this shirt… how do i get it?
Here we are Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial start to summer. It signifies the beginning of summer with BBQ's and parties packed with beer and hot dogs on the grill. We all know the countdown: we've been working really hard through the long, cold winter and have been counting down the days to the sweet release of the long, hot, lazy days of summer. But the "Memorial" in Memorial Day has been ignored by too many of us who are beneficiaries of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. Often we do not observe the day as it should be, a day where we actively remember our ancestors, our family members, and our loved ones, who have given the ultimate sacrifice: So why not spice up your holiday with this patriotic tee?

Rock Island Armory Vs. Kimber
Posted by Gunner on May 30, 2011
"Rock" or Kimber?
Over the years I've owned and reviewed many Kimbers and Rock Island Armory 1911's. I was thinking the other day about the values of each brand and how they compare to each other. This may seem a bit one sided since the Kimber is much more expensive than the Rock Island Tactical. At least from my viewpoint price doesn't always mean one pistol is better than another.
I wouldn't presume to tell you which 1911 is better, rather I'll present some observations and facts and let the reader decide. As far as price is concerned you can buy three Rock Island's for the price of one Kimber. The question for the buyer is the Kimber's price worth it compared to the value of the RIA?
From an aesthetic viewpoint the Kimber 1911's are very desirable while the Rock Island 1911 is more utilitarian but certainly attractive in it's own way. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say.
In the last few months I've had a sample of each 1911 for review purposes. One is the Kimber Aegis II the other a RIA Tactical both in 9MM. Having fired well over 500 rounds from each pistol I surely have a basis for comparison.
The Kimber has a steel slide with an alloy frame. The entire pistol has a carry melt treatment with the frame front strap checkered at 30 LPI. The top of the slide is also milled flat. The Kimber also has Meprolight nightsights. The trigger, barrel and bushing are all advertised as match quality. This model is from the Kimber Custom Shop. Even so there are MIM parts.Trigger pull is between 4 and 5 pounds. The Kimber is a series 80. Retail is $1159.00.
The Rock Island Armory Tactical is almost universally respected. This is not my opinion necessarily rather information taken from many of the gun forums and feedback from friends. The pistol is forged steel and made in the Philippines. It has ambi thumb safeties, beavertail grip safety, full length guiderod and Novak type sights. I've spoken with a friend, who is a plant manager, who told me that the slides are hand fitted. Some hand fitting is also performed on the internals so that they all have a trigger pull between 4 and 5 pounds. The Tactical is a series 70. Pretty impressive for a pistol that retails for $450.00.
Most models have a parkerized finish. In recent months the number of models has increased. Some of these new models are two tone with a parked slide and stainless color frame. Rock Island pays attention to customer feedback with several models on the market as a direct result of this feedback.
What about accuracy and reliability? Well you be the judge. The first 165 rounds fired from the Kimber resulted in eight assorted malfunctions. After the initial problems a total of 900 rounds have been fired with no additional problems. The Rock Island Tactical was reliable out of the box with only one malfunction which was a faulty alloy cased round with a ding on the lip of the case.
The picture below shows a target fired with the Kimber and Rock Island Tactical.
I believe the photo is self explanatory. The "R" stands for Rock Island and the "K" of course stands for Kimber. The rounds fired are an equal number from both pistols. Distance was 10 yards. You be the judge:-)
The Kimber has a one year warranty. Rock Island LIFETIME warranty. Repairs on the Rock Island are seldom needed. Turnaround time for warranty repair is one week to ten days. Kimber warranty work has a turnaround time of one month from what I've read in the 1911 forums. Rock Island normally adds an extra magazine when returning a warranty repair gun to the owner.
Would I carry the Kimber while going in harms way? Yes after breaking it in and it having shown itself reliable after the initial problems. Would I carry the Rock Island? Yes without a second thought.
I believe this provides enough information for anyone in the market for a 1911 to make an informed decision to choose between the two brands. I welcome your comments, experiences and opinions.

Nice article! I love Rock Island Armory..but I was under the impression that all the steel was investment cast (nothing wrong with that), unless forged is a feature for Tactical models only. Either way, both good shooters. I also thought RIA had lifetime warranties..hmm
May 31, 2011 at 6:56 pm
I'm glad that you put this in writing. Several people have looked at me strangely since I traded off my Kimber and kept my RIA Tactical as my preferred 1911. As for estectics, my "Rock" really looks great after I did a two tone Duracoat that mimics Wilson Combat.
June 1, 2011 at 9:07 am
Awesome review, Phil. I've drilled into my children over the years the difference between need and want. My oldest son may want a Kimber, but I think he needs a Rock Island!
June 7, 2011 at 12:32 pm
Great article, I bought a Rock because of all the great reviews I have read, I actually bought two of them- A full-sized tactical and a Compact tactical. I'd much rather have two durable, great functioning guns that I can use over a shiny, pretty one that I'd be too afraid to pull out of the safe. Maybe one day I'll own a beautiful 1911 just to look at, but until then i'm sold on the Rocks! Pass on the word to your pals!
June 9, 2011 at 6:05 pm
Thanks a lot for the info, just want it to know if the parts such as firing-pin, firing pin spring, recoil spr., and extractor can be replace w/out any modefication. Does it need to be G.I. parts?
July 8, 2011 at 12:42 pm
A friend of mind bought an RIA a while back and we both love it. I am glad I found your website,and your review on RIA. Have you shot an A2 version. If so what are your thoughts on that firearm. thank you
August 5, 2011 at 10:32 pm
I am a retired FFL dealer. I have dealt with Springfield Armory and Rock Island Armory. Springfield Armory, you are paying for the name and history of a company that stole the M1 Garand contracts. Arnelle, the pistol smith of RIA, a good friend, personally adds the final touches and oversees the production of these pistols. I have sister a sister pair, consecutive serial number, M1911A1, without alterations. I would put my girls up against any manufacturer. At tweny-five yards, I averaged 4.136″ with open sights, shooting 8 rounds. Spend your money wisely, forget the $1000 Kimber, buy two of Arnelle's pieces, plus ammo.
September 9, 2011 at 5:01 am
Reading reviews and comments like these are the reasons why I'm a RIA/Armscor pistol owner.
Many thanks Sir Phil!
September 16, 2011 at 8:14 am
I was curious if you have any side-by-side comparison between the RIA 1911 and Glock 21? (both .45 ACP)
I'm looking for details on reliability, ease of use, and long-term durability.
Thank you,
November 20, 2011 at 11:24 pm
I recently won a Rock Island 1911 at a Gun Bash in Pennsylvania (on a $8 ticket). I have yet to take it to the range due to the fact that I just won it yesterday. But after reading all the reviews and blogs I am certain I will love it. If there are any suggestions on what I should or shouldn't do would be greatly appreciated.
November 29, 2011 at 12:40 pm
The Wikipedia report on the RIA states the 1911s have a cast steel frame. Not forged, as stated in this article. I couldn't tell from the RIA website.
November 29, 2011 at 1:18 pm
Thanks for your response for clarification. I am looking at a compact RIA in a local store and noticed the OD of the barrel is flared at the muzzle and without a bushing. (Like a bull barrel, but just at the end of the muzzle.)
Is this common for all their 1911s or just the compact version? Also does this improve accuracy?
December 13, 2011 at 6:38 pm
I own a Kimber. I have had misfire issues with it. It will hit the primer but not fire. Does not matter what type of ammo is used. Has been to a gun smith, (twice).This is the second Kimber I have owned. The first one had a bent front sight on it and the dove tail was cut at an angle. I think the sight was bent in an attempt to fix the off set machining. The Kimber customer service is nothing to be desired. With that said, i will not purchase anothe Kimber.
January 11, 2012 at 8:06 am
I am a tactile buyer and somewhat Brand Myopic and tend to look down on "lower brands" like Rock Island, Taurus 1911..etc.. but I can never get my hands on the model I wanted and always it has to be ordered with months of waiting (STI, Kimber, S&W and Para Ord) so I ended buying what they have on hand that I can finger fuck (my last pistol I bought is a Kimber HD Pro Carry I wanted Springfield Champion) then came the RIA M2011 thats the one with full length dust cover with rails last one that made one was Springfield Operator MC. So I handled it at the pawn store it was new and was tepid about it, but the price on it was so attractive like RIA was doing the Jedi Mind Trick on me and I bought it.
BAMM !! talk about bang for ur buck.. it has nightsights !! and shoot … well freaking amazing .. no hiccups I mean right out of the box all I did was wipe the excess oil out of it and 500 rounds… man I never handled a gun like that since… well thats another story in itself .. folks I highly recommend this pistol for what ever utility u need it for and the looks of a full rail dust cover certainly made alot of "oohs and ahhs" at the range
February 8, 2012 at 2:16 pm
February 9, 2012 at 9:23 pm
I've only ever owned striker fired pistols and revolvers and am looking into my first 1911. I read many forum debates however, on these pistols being "broken in". With pro 1911 people saying this is common while anti saying "you don't have to break in Glocks, XD's etc…" Is this common in your opinion? Just curious your feedback and am NOT trying to turn this into a polymer vs metal debate.
February 9, 2012 at 10:54 pm
Thanks for the info and totally agree. Glock vs Kimber = Both better than a tennis racket.
March 9, 2012 at 9:45 am
Great article..I too am a fan of RIA's…with that said I can not locate the new 2011 Tactical Full Rail Hi-Cap model…do you happen to know who may be carrying these/who can order them?
March 9, 2012 at 11:33 am
I too am looking for the RIA 2011 Tactical Full Rail model but I am looking for the 9mm version and no one seems to have them yet. I have not even seen an actual retail price for them.
March 9, 2012 at 11:55 pm
Almost thou persuadest me to become a Rocker, to borrow a phrase. Thank you for your column and your enthusiasm. I will give the Rocks a second and very close look. I hope to get to the NRA next month in St. Louis and engage in some self-inflicted sensory overload. I am anxious to meet the Rhino and will spend some serious time on Rock Island. Thanks.
March 22, 2012 at 2:58 pm
I bought a used ria 1911 9mm from a local gun shop here in arizona it had been shot maybe three times, was manufactured last summer just in incredible condition out the door paid 375 bucks… since january of this year ive put 1000 rounds through the thing and have not had a single problm what so ever. not a jamb misfire poor ejection nothing… some of the ammo i was using was some blazers and pmc from 20 years ago my father in law gave me. still not a damn problem…. ive always been a big fan of 1911, lways wanted a nice colt or kimber something fancy and sexy… but i tell ya what i wouldnt trade this one for anything… when i do buy my 45 acp ts gunna be a rock island tactical without a doubt!!
March 22, 2012 at 4:31 pm
And the education goes on! I will have to admit that my 9mm CZ75 single action has taking my heart! When RIA comes out with their compact in 9mm, I will be faced with a delima!
April 9, 2012 at 8:58 am
I recently bought the RIA 1911 CS withe GI Sights have fired 200 rnds of federal with no problems! Just got my CT laser grips from cdnninvestments.com for $179 and cannot wait to try them out
April 24, 2012 at 12:37 am
Thanks brother, im in the market for a 1911 and I found a rock island I liked but wasn't sure of the name in the reason i hadn't heard of them but, you article really made this decision a no brainer
May 17, 2012 at 4:53 am
Great read Sir.I am in the market for a RIA Tactical with VZ Grip's but it seems like all the shop's are out of stock. Like most folks I try to get the most bang for my buck wich is why I own a Taurus PT 1911 in Duo Tone. It seems that RIA and Taurus are pretty even when it comes to features and value.
July 30, 2012 at 10:07 pm
Thanks for a great article, sir. I have been saving up some money for a 1911 for close to a year now (thanks to our economy and my ever vigilant wife, I have to do it slowly and secretly). If you're married you'll know what I mean.
I only learned about RIA last week when my local gunstore put up the weekly ad with two RIA models on sale, which is a shame since they have gone up in price from the $350 range they were in a couple of years ago. Not to mention that I am of Filipino descent and both curious and I guess proud of hearing about a Filipino product with American quality.
Having said all that, I believe I am getting closer to my goal since the money I'm saving would be much closer to RIA price range now, as opposed to the Colt or Para-ord price range. This might very well be my last handgun purchase though, because I consider the .45 as the "climax to a pistol collecting crescendo," which started with smaller calibers.
Yes sir, this will be my first 1911 (most likely my last as well:( ). So I need your two cents on which model to get. Should I get a GI model, an A1 model ($50 difference), or should I save a little more money for an A2 hi-cap. Although, I live in Los Angeles so the hi-cap limit is only 10 rnds. Which brings up another question of where to buy California compliant 1911 double stack mags. Again thanks for a great article.
July 31, 2012 at 12:15 am
Thanks for the quick response and the info. I will leave an update reply when I finally buy my RIA.
August 27, 2012 at 9:25 am
Wow, what a great article! This article sealed the deal on purchasing an RIA. I do need some help though. I will try to keep it short and sweet.
My brother in law is getting out of the army this month, after spending 12 yrs as a sniper and in SF. My sister recently came to me, because she wanted to surprise him with a .45 that he has wanted for a very long time. I am now in charge of finding the perfect pistol for not only a great husband, and father, but a great veteran as well.
He has always wanted a kimber warrior II, but with the addition of a beautiful baby boy to the family, that went out the window, because we just can't afford it.
After doing a lot of research I came across RIA. This is probably the only brand I've ever done research on that I can't find a negative post about! After reading your article I am SOLD! I will be buying one for myself eventually too!
The only problem is the RIA I want to get him, I can't find any where!! I am looking for the Rock Island M1911-A1 FS tactical 2011 .45acp 5inch 8rd 51485.
We're are having a surprise party on September 15th 2012, and this is when we would like to present the pistol to him. I know this is very short notice, but if you or anyone else could point us in the right direction to find this pistol, it would be GREATLY appreciated!! Once again, great article!

Thank you so much for the help. I will check with the places you mentioned and let you know what I find. Thanks again!
August 27, 2012 at 12:42 pm
As of right now finding one by the 15th is not looking very promising. I reserved one on back order with centerfiresystems, but she couldnt give me any idea when they would be getting more in. Thanks again for the help
August 29, 2012 at 5:56 pm
I own 27 different 1911's and some of those are high end 1911's.9$3800, and $3140. And for the money it will match those shot for shot. The Rock Islands are one of the best kept secrets in the 1911 world. The fellow two stalls away from me at the gun range kept having problems with his High dollar STI while my Rock Just wanting more lead. 3 weeks later I talked with him as he came into the club. He was in a hurry to try out his new Rock Island. After 220 rounds and some site adjustments he came over to me and thanked me for giving me the heads up on the Rock. He now feels as I do. Rock Islands "ROCK"
December 17, 2012 at 8:52 pm
I was having trouble deciding between Rock and Kimber but after reading this post i know exactly which one to buy. This is a great website.
January 21, 2013 at 3:11 am
hi i have purchaced 2 rock island 1911 a-1 that a sequencial serial number guns and i do like the way the feel and handle and only fired around 50 rounds throu each gun the have all been factory load but the guns have fixed sights and shooting at 25 yards i only seem to be able to pull 6 to 8 inch groups witch i was ok with for the price of the guns my issue is that one pistol groups left of center about 6 inches and the other groups about 4 or 5 inches low of center they have fixed sights and i'm no ace with a pistol but i can group way better and on target with other pistols. is there a way to alter them with a gunsmith to change the point of impact of the groups? and is there a decent round that could be tryed to achieve a tighter grouping? thanks
January 21, 2013 at 12:35 pm
yeah i know all bout guns being picky with loads lol, but i was unaware the sight could be moved at all on the gun it looks like it is modled on the slide but will ask my cousin when i get there to his house later today he is a gunsmith and wanted to take a look at them anyways, as for the filing on the front sight i had that idea but won't that destroy the parkerized coating? is there something that can be put on the exposed metal? the loads i have used in both guns are, fiocchi 230 gr fmj & american eagle 230 gr fmj, i have been trying to get some tite group powder to try some hand loads i have had suggested to me but with everyone who is panicing i can't find a single pound anywhere around lol. Thanks
January 21, 2013 at 8:04 pm
hey thanks and i talked with him today and he said to try some 185's and see what happens with grouping other wise we will change bushings a little, and yes the back sights can be tapped over with a brass punch and hammer, but he said the filing of the front sight can be done but it can be tricky to fix the finish on the gun. thanks for all the help
January 21, 2013 at 11:18 pm
Hey good idea with the tape thanks again
February 15, 2013 at 8:08 pm
I used to have Springfield envy, and Kimber.
But after a lot of range time, I have 2 RIA's (5″ 1911 GI, and Officers 3.5″) and one ATI 4.25″ (not from RIA, but still made in the PI), no regrets anymore, and I don't even look at over priced Springfields & Kimbers.
But I have since purchased a Regent 100, and have been comparing them all at the range, I truly don't know which I like better. But for the price, I would most likely buy a 3rd RIA. Since ammo prices got stupid, I haven't had a decent shooting session to do an even comparison.
The 3.5 RIA Compact is my CCW, never a doubt with the reliability. I have just a bit more than 1000 rounds thru both of my RIA's, and maybe 500 thru the ATI, but only about 150 in the Regent.
February 26, 2013 at 1:57 am
What was the name of the RIA armorer again, please.
March 1, 2013 at 3:32 am
You can get a kimber pro carry II at your local gunshop for 700 out the door last I checked 450 times times three was 1350 and the pro carry is a lot lighter ,better made(in U.S.A.), and has never had a malufunction after 150 rounds so far. I wouldn't trust my life to something for a 250 bucks less coming from the philipines. A better compairison might be a taurus 1911 or the ruger 1911. Oh ya other manufactors are importing the same pistol under diffent names besides RIA too like Taylor.
March 1, 2013 at 4:04 am
METRO AND AMRSCOR also all the same place
March 1, 2013 at 4:08 am
I guess if your RIA breaks you could through it at them and hurt them really bad too being made from cast iron and all 😉
March 1, 2013 at 4:29 am
Kimber custom II is even cheaper just has the full barrel like the ria in your blog. Is the ria bushingless by the way?
March 3, 2013 at 6:33 pm
Hi, i spoke to ya a couple months ago and i do appriciate you advise ya gave me and been nothing but happy with the 2 ria i have but was looking at doing a little custom work on them and was interested what all parts will interchange from other gun makes? Barrels, sheer spring, triggers, rear sights?? not sure what all i really want to change on them because they were very nice right out of the box but wanted to see just to keep my options open any info would be greatly apriciated, thanks
March 4, 2013 at 1:45 am
hey thanks a lot, and last time i stopped at my cousins shop he let me know they were series 70 and he said that in his opinion is better than a series 80 but idk, now as far as the kit that replaces the hammer, sear, sear spring i have looked at those but do you have to use the new hammer with that kit or can the old hammer still be used with that kit? i just like the look of the g.i. hammer better. i also know they are the 1911 a1 modle but the paper work says they are novak notch sight, will they still need to be cut to install different sights?
March 8, 2013 at 5:10 pm
I too recently purchased the Rock Island Compact Officers 1911. This has been the best decisions in hand guns I've made and other should seriously consider making. As a former police officer, I have carried various weapons including the Kimber, Colt and Springfield 1911's. I have fired the Para Ordnance Slim Hawg and all I can say is… Rock Island has them beat. I have fired over 500 rounds through my RIA with zero failures to feed. You also cannot beat the "Lifetime Warranty" with Rock Island. Friends of mine who may have had minor issues with their RIA have received excellent customer service. The high end guns in my opinion are basically for show and tell. I have yet to find a "Pretty" gun that will stop the action any better than one that is less attractive. Make a few changes to the RIA such as a pair of Hogue Grips with finger grooves or "Pretty It Up" with a nice pair of Rosewood Grips and you have yourself a GREAT gun. Those that have fired my RIA are in the process of buying one and selling their "Pretty" guns to someone willing to throw their hard earned money away.
Thanks, Pete

my slide is very hard to get off the frame is that normal…..
March 23, 2013 at 8:44 am
it seems to get hung
April 13, 2013 at 6:04 pm
Just bought my first 1911, being a Rock in the compact version, and have not had a chance to get to the range yet. Showed it to a friend today, and we compared it to his new Glock, and he wanted to trade me on the spot. I like the feel of my Rock, and am anxious to throw some lead downrange. Thanks for re-enforcing my decision to buy a Rock.
June 15, 2013 at 6:25 pm
Just got a rock put rap around houge grips made a world of difference in placement i use to have a springfield and hated the feel and shot placement well lets say less than desireable but on my rock want an openion on should i compensate it change giderod and spring im an avid shooter who wants the top accu on all my weapons lookin for feedback thanks

Sharer named PhRMA chairman
Amgen CEO Kevin Sharer has been named the new chairman of PhRMA following the resignation of Peter Dolan, ousted CEO of Bristol-Myers Squibb. Sharer, named chairman-elect last March, was set to assume the chairmanship in 2007 but was promoted when Dolan resigned from the post shortly after being stripped of his chief executive role at BMS. The position of PhRMA chair is always held by one of the leaders of the largest pharmaceutical companies. The group held a board meeting last Thursday to discuss Dolan's replacement but did not announce his appointment until late Friday afternoon. Dolan was not the only PhRMA board member suddenly between jobs. Karen Katen, PhRMA board treasurer, resigned earlier this year from her last job as Pfizer vice chairman and has yet to announce a new position. Dolan was elected PhRMA chairman in March, succeeding Johnson & Johnson chief executive Bill Weldon. Meanwhile, Dolan, who was also director of the board at American Express, stepped down from that post just a few days after his resignation from Bristol-Myers Squibb, The Wall Street Journal reported today.
