Ben Brann wanted his senior night to be special.
It was.
SNOW HILL � Ben Brann wanted his senior night to be special.
It was.
Brann tossed a one-hit shutout and Chad Murphy connected on a three-run homer in the first inning to help Greene Central cruise to an 8-0 win over top-ranked North Pitt on Tuesday.
The win was the first this season for any Eastern Plains 2A Conference team over the Panthers, who are ranked first in the latest ImpactBaseball.com statewide 2A baseball poll.
Odds are that won�t be the case once the newest poll is released thanks to Brann and Co.
�I got to get a win for my team on senior night, that�s what I had to do,� the senior left-hander said. �I had to come out here and just pitch. Just do my thing.�
That he did.
Murphy�s shot to right-center scored the first runs of the game, and they were all Brann needed. But he got more.
The Rams (13-7, 10-2), who now sit a half-game back of North Pitt (18-2, 10-1) for the top spot in the league, plated six in the first inning to give their ace plenty of room to work with.
Turns out, Brann only needed one.
Using his changeup and breaking pitches effectively, Brann retired the first eight he faced and took a no-hitter into the fourth.
His first and only hit was yielded to Rashawn Lockamy, who singled through the hole on the left side of the infield in an 0-2 count with one away in the fourth.
From then on North Pitt managed six base runners � two walks, an error, a hit-by-pitch and a pair of fielder�s choices � but only one made it into scoring position.
Brann (8-0) walked Tyler Sutton to begin the seventh but retired the side after that to give Greene Central its sixth straight win and the senior his fifth shutout of the year.
The southpaw struck out three and walked three and reduced his already-staggering ERA from 0.77 to 0.67, according to statistics found at Maxpreps.com.
�To hold them to a shutout is more than you could ask for,� Rams coach Scott Jones said.
Not knowing what was ahead from its ace, Greene Central�s offense got to North Pitt starter Damien Dudley early and often.
Chandler Barrow led off the Rams� first at-bat with a single followed by a walk from Brann. Murphy then stepped up and sent an 0-1 fastball into the pines beyond the fence in right-center field for his fourth homer of the season and the early 3-0 lead.
Kevin Ormond singled, Austin Batchelor walked and Mason Head put one in play to load the bases. Dudley got Austin Mooring to go down swinging for the Rams� first out, but James Head followed with a two-run single just ahead of Dylan Taylor�s fielder�s choice that scored Mason Head and sent the Rams back to the top of their lineup.
Barrow flew out to right to end the inning, but not before Greene Central put the Panthers in a 6-0 hole too big to climb out of.
Especially with the way Brann was throwing the ball.
�We know they�re a very good ballclub. We swung the bats early and that probably took some wind out of their sails,� Jones said of North Pitt. �That probably relaxed Ben a little bit.
�Pitching on senior night, when you�re a senior, that ain�t the easiest thing in the world to do.�
Murphy, who went 2-for-4, drove in his fourth run of the night in the fourth. Josh Head, running for Brann, scored on an error that same inning for the final margin.
Ormond singled twice and scored once in a win that puts the Rams in position to share the conference title with North Pitt, but they�re going to need some help.
The Panthers, who have already clinched at least a share of the crown, face Wilson Beddingfield in their final EP2A game on Thursday. If North Pitt wins, the crown is its to hold. If the Bruins win, there will be a one-game playoff sometime next week to determine which team, Greene Central or North Pitt, gets the league�s top playoff berth.
�I knew today we had to come out and come out strong and beat them,� Brann said. �I don�t think we�ve lost in the second half of conference (play) and we�ve been doing really well the whole time.�
�We did all we can do,� Jones added. �Win, lose or draw we�ll be happy even if we don�t get to play for the playoff seed. We did what we had to do tonight.�
Notes: Brann lost his perfect game with a two-out walk to Collin Brinkley in the third on a bizarre series of events. Twice before the home plate umpire had granted time to the batter with Brann in the windup. Brinkley asked for time and stepped out but wasn�t granted it, throwing Brann off his rhythm. His next pitch was Ball 4. � A wet ball on a damp night led to Greene Central�s only error. Chad Murphy fielded the Lockamy�s grounder cleanly at shortstop but lost the ball as he tried to throw. Brann was given a dry ball after the play. � Lockamy and Christopher Perry each reached base twice for North Pitt. � Murphy raised his team-best average 11 points to .333. � The Rams will not play Spring Creek today due to the Gators having too many conference games left to play.

The magnificent interweaving of harmonies and dialogue-like Voices in Handel's For Unto Us A Child Is Born make it a perfect addition to the festive choral repertoire.
German-born, British Baroque composer George Frideric Handel originally composed this piece in 1741, for the English-language oratorio Messiah, which eventually became one of the best-known and most frequently performed choral works in Western music. As the last song of Scene 3 of Part I of the oratorio, which addresses Isaiah's specific prophecy about the virgin birth of a Messiah, For Unto Us A Child Is Born tells the news of Christmas, the birth of a son, in Isaiah's words as found in the Scripture (Isaiah 9:6).
The delicate, familiar theme is introduced by the Sopranos and taken up by their counter-voices, the Tenors, later the same dialog is given over to the Altos and Basses. The tutti culminates in 'Wonderful', 'Counselor', 'The Mighty God', 'The Everlasting Father' and 'The Prince of Peace'.

I've never read a review by this Ebert guy... and I don't think I will now.
Yeesh, Josh. That article seems a tad harsh.
I know you and CM got this Maddox-clone type of website going (so you're a bit over the top on your insults and stuff), but you seem to lose focus in the Ebert article. I think Roger Ebert is a clown shoe, myself (make no mistake, this is not a defense on his part). But what you said about not diving deeper into a film didn't sound correct to me. If Roger Ebert could simply sit back in a chair, watch a movie, and give it a thumbs up or thumbs down based on whether or not he, personally, liked it, than he'd have the easiest job in the world (this side of meteorologists).
Film reviewers need to pretend that they're diving into a 'deeper meaning' to give their jobs credibility, otherwise people would realize that they were useless and don't deserve to be making money off of this crap. All the average film critic does is describe something he just watched and use little tidbits from the movie to back up his point. It's like being a dryer at the car wash; anybody can do this. Ebert (and a host of other pompus assholes who do the same thing for a living) needs to keep up the mirage of work. Afterall, if people understood that reviewing movies took no talent and/or work, than his TV show would have been canceled long ago... not to mention his candy ass would have been kicked to the curb by every newspaper in history.
People who review movies are like sportswriters; they don't seem to understand that ANYBODY can do their job. Movie writers, athletes, car mechanics, poets, cartoonists, ect... all do things that take a degree of skill and/or talent. Not every Joe in the world can sit down and do their job (and do it JUST AS WELL) after one week of training. Movie critics and sportswriters (just like receptionists at Chuckie Cheese) can be replaced in a matter of days.
Therefore, in conclusion, you're unfair on Roger Ebert. The only reason he's claiming that movies "need deeper meanings to be good" is because... if they didn't, he'd be out of a job.

Jay Walker Sues Nearly Every Successful Internet Company, Claiming They're All Built Off His Patents
from the exhibit-number-one-in-why-business-method-patents-are-lame deptLast fall, we noted that Priceline founder Jay Walker had apparently gone full on patent troll, with a series of lawsuits against Facebook (for "friending" -- violating patent #5,884,272) and the Powerball Lottery (for having lottery "multipliers" in violation of patent #7,740,537).
Of course, Walker has a very long history of being more interested in patents and locking up ideas than actually engaging in innovation. Yes, he actually did some innovating with Priceline, but all the way back in 1999 he was talking about how excited he was about the ability to patent business methods, which had really only recently been thought of as patentable. He certainly took to it quickly, patenting all sorts of business ideas.
Apparently those lawsuits last year were just the warm up act. Joe Mullin alerts us to the news that Walker has teamed up with the rather infamous patent troll Erich Spangenberg, whose motto is sue first, ask questions later in order to sue over 100 different companies for violating various patents he holds. Among the companies sued are Microsoft, eBay, Amazon, Facebook (again!), WalMart, Groupon, Apple, Sony and Google.
Even better, he's put out a press release that plays up how various fawning press reports have lavished praise on Walker, and then suggests that pretty much any successful internet company wouldn't exist without Walker's brilliant inventions:
"A number of great companies can trace their genesis to technology that was first developed at Walker Digital in the mid-to-late 1990s. We are proud of our inventions and the number of innovative businesses and activities founded on these inventions. These businesses have not only changed the way people around the world live, work, travel and interact socially and commercially, but also have given rise to numerous American jobs."The press release also plays up the claim that they prefer not to sue (uh... yeah...) and that they would have liked it better if these companies had just agreed to give them money in the first place. That's pretty amusing coming from a company that has teamed up with Spangenberg who has flat out said he prefers to sue first. If you don't want to sue, you don't work with someone like Spangenberg.
Mullin has a summary of a few of the new lawsuits:
- A lawsuit [PDF] against Citigroup, Discover, Wells Fargo, and two payment-services companies, T-Chek Systems and Orbiscom, saying the companies infringe two patents on a "Method And Device For Generating A Single-Use Financial Account Number."
- A lawsuit [PDF] against daily deal sites, including Groupon, Livingsocial (and parent company Amazon), and smaller sites like BuyWithMe, Tippr.com, jasmere.com, and juiceinthecity.com. Those sites are alleged to infringe four Walker patents, including one issued in 2001 called "Systems and Methods Wherein A Buyer Purchases A Product At A First Price And Acquires The Product From A Merchant That Offers The Product For Sale At A Second Price." For example, the lawsuit says BuyWithMe is in trouble because it "offers buyers products and services from retailers at discounted prices and arranges for users to take possession of the goods or services at the retailers' locations." Hmm… that was invented in 2001.
- A lawsuit [PDF] against online game operators, including—(deep breath)--Activision, Atari, Cartoon Interactive Group, Disney Interactive, Electronic Arts, ESPN Internet Ventures, Microsoft, Miniclip America, MLB Advanced Media, Onlive, Popcap Games, Sony Corp., Turbine, Turner Digital Basketball Services, Valve Corp., Walt Disney, Yahoo, and Zynga. The companies are accused of violating two patents, including this one, which "allows video and computer game enthusiasts to submit their game outcomes to a central online repository so that they can be compared to the results of other players."
- A lawsuit [PDF] over mapping technology, filed against Apple, Google, Samsung, Microsoft, Telenav, Mio Technology, TomTom, and others.

We all know you can't read too much into Week 1. But after Week 2...well, that's a different story. After an anemic Cowboys offense fell to Washington last week, the general response was not to worry; the Cowboys would regroup, get things back together, and take it to Chicago in Week 2. After all, this is Jay Cutler we're talking about, and he loves giving presents to the defense.
Well, Week 2 is over for the Cowboys, and with it came a 27-20 loss in which Jay Cutler had a nearly flawless game. The Cowboys defense, which was supposed to be a feared unit in the NFC, looked terrible. It seemed as though they couldn't stop anybody. Last week the offense failed to show up, this week it was the defense. That's not a good thing for a team with such high expectations.
Now the Cowboys are staring at 0-2. I heard on "Around the Horn" this past Friday that teams with 0-2 records only have a 13% chance of reaching the playoffs. We've all heard so much lately about the Cowboys going to the Super Bowl this year, but it seems the odds are not on their side.
So, we were told not to panic in Week 1, but now that Week 2 has passed, I have to ask: Can we panic now?

Last fall when the economy tanked, folks began to think more deliberately about what they really need to live. Our sudden stumble into hard times exposed a nerve: if I lost everything, how would I secure food, clothing, shelter, medicine?
When you start thinking at that basic level, money becomes increasingly beside the point. Indeed, we know in the back of our minds that currency is a mere proxy for goods and services. Without actual stuff, it's just paper and promises.
But beyond that primal fear, it's an interesting exercise to see if you can find a value for the goods and services themselves in a money-free marketplace. In other words, to barter.
I started experimenting with bartering here and there a few years ago. A friend of mine has a home delivery dog food service with very high-quality ingredients that I know I can trust for the health of my pupster. He and his family love my eggs, so I bartered down the price of my dog food by paying him partially in eggs. And a few months ago, when I learned that a neighbor was keeping bees in his backyard and harvesting honey, we traded eggs for honey.
As the holidays approach, a friend and I agreed the other day to trade eucalyptus from my tree for the long, gorgeous rosemary boughs she grows on her enormous bushes. Yet another neighbor brings her family's kitchen scraps to my compost bins almost daily. And when she started her vegetable garden last spring, I repaid her contributions in finished compost. Bartering encourages a kind of interconnectedness that operates almost like a healthy little ecosystem.
Sometimes I think of it not so much in terms of a direct trade, but a micro-economy that eschews the large corporate presence which feed and feed on our addictions. When I have eggs to spare, I sell them to friends and neighbors, and that's the money I take to the store to buy more chicken feed. Or if there is some left over, I buy cheese from a friend who keeps goats.
But really, I'd rather trade directly for other things I want and need. So let's get started, readers: anyone up for an exchange of goods and/or services? I have eggs, some canned goods, and some fresh produce here and there. What do you have? What can we trade? Do any of you knit or sew? Are you crafty? The holidays are upon us. Can you save yourself and a few others some miserable trips to the mall?
And if you have participated in some good, creative, mutually beneficial barters, inspire us–share your stories!
Let the barters begin . . .

National Nurses United
(CNN) -- Leslie Elder was always a fighter. But in a message to a friend in the waning days of her life, she seemed exhausted.
The note, written at a time of spiritual darkness, suggested defeat after a decades-long struggle for medical coverage.
"I honestly don't know how much more I can endure," Elder wrote earlier this year in a Facebook message to her friend Liz Jacobs. "I am fighting for (Medicaid) and disability. I can't work I sit in bed I cry a lot. I am still fighting for healthcare and still fighting foreclosure.
"I am so upset but perhaps it was not meant to be. I don't know anything anymore," said Elder, who died in July at age 63 without insurance coverage.
As she typed the note, Elder could scarcely breathe. Her lungs had filled with fluid over several months; her respiratory system was shutting down. After visits to the emergency room and several free clinics, Elder was finally diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
But what makes her family bristle: Elder did not have to die.
If she had had health care, "Absolutely she'd still be here," said Jacquelyn Elder, Leslie's daughter, adding that Hodgkin's lymphoma has a high survival rate. "That is something really hard to deal with."
"I know she felt scared because there were no options. Why do something (about illnesses) when you know you can't get proper care to fix it?"
Except there were options.
The Affordable Care Act, which takes full effect in 2014, was supposed to save people like Elder (with pre-existing conditions and no medical coverage) in the interim by way of high-risk pools, also known as the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan or PCIP.
The pools are supposed to be a safety net, but many, like Elder, are falling through the cracks.
Elder's family spent her final months fighting for Medicaid, with no clue that they qualified for Florida's high-risk pool. They are not alone: Of the estimated 200,000-375,000 people expected to enroll in PCIP in the first year, less than one-third have done it, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
Leslie's husband, Jim Elder, admitted that he did not know many details of the program, and much of the conversation about health care has been confusing.
"I was under the impression that pre-existing (PCIP) didn't start until 2014," said Jim Elder in a recent interview with CNN.
"I'm puzzled. Since this act was passed, to us, people with pre-existing, we were hoping and searching for some sort of way to get health care. The way it has divided the country, some states suing to try and stop it, it's just confused everybody. It certainly confused us."
Jacobs, a nurse who met Leslie Elder in her role as a health care advocate and spokeswoman for the group National Nurses United, fears the Elders' story will be echoed repeatedly, even with ACA's passage.
"In a humane health care system, as much of the rest of the world has, no one would have to know the arcane minutiae of how to apply for a high risk pool," said Jacobs. "Everyone would have (coverage) that qualifies you for health care when and where you need it."
That sort of access is promised to many through the ACA, but stories like the Elders' suggest the act -- at least as it relates to high-risk pools -- still has some kinks.
In the midst of the family's confusion, Elder was unwittingly suffering from cancer again -- her fourth diagnosis. During a 2009 interview with CNN she quipped, "I don't get a cold, I get cancer, and cancer, and cancer."
That terrifying litany of cancer diagnoses began in 1988 with a bulging tumor found in her right breast. Thirteen years later, the same diagnosis, this time in her left breast.
And in 2005, it was kidney cancer. The doctor's grim pronouncement, according to Elder: " 'Your right kidney ... it's breaking apart. You have a tumor ... and you also have a tumor in your left kidney.'"
Crush of cancer, medical bills snares family
By then, the Elders had been on a roller coaster, going from what they describe as the best medical coverage to having none. In between came skyrocketing insurance premiums, high deductibles, and stacks of unpaid medical bills following each cancer diagnosis.
At a certain point, feeling like her pre-existing conditions were to blame for her soaring and unaffordable insurance rates, Elder gave up on coverage.
Her insurance company Aetna later said Elder's previous cancer diagnoses were not the culprit for the rate increases.
Although the company did not cite a specific reason for the increased rate, Cynthia Michener, an Aetna spokeswoman said: "There can be other contributing factors to rate increases for small business policies, including, for example, the aggregate cost of the entire pool of small business policies in the state."
During the interview with CNN three years ago, Elder admitted to volleying between fear of the unknown and acceptance of her fate, even though without insurance, she had no idea whether she had cancer again. But telling her story enlivened her, according to friends.
"When she was interviewed for CNN originally, it was one of the most hopeful periods of her years-long struggle," said Donna Smith, Elder's friend, an advocate and community organizer with National Nurses United. "Most recently, as her health grew even worse and she faced the loss of her home and the final parts of her savings, Leslie just yearned for dignity and some sort of peace that never seemed to come."
And nearly three years later, as her death approached, the pendulum had swung decidedly toward fear.
"And me, Ms. Healthcare CNN interview tough person now a scared little girl who after beating cancer 4x now sits in bed with oxygen and breathing treatments," Elder wrote to Jacobs.
"I was always able to stand up to whatever hit me. I'm not so sure about things anymore and maybe not so tough. I am scared."

"My Heart Is in the Work"
— Andrew Carnegie, Founder
Be part of an institution inspiring innovations that change the world.
Our employees support a highly-selective, global, research institution with campuses in Pittsburgh, Qatar and Silicon Valley and degree-granting programs in five continents. We offer competitive benefits to our over 5,000 faculty and staff, place importance on fostering diversity and a spirit of inclusion, and emphasize the power of creativity and innovation across the university—from our academic and research programs in art and technology to our staff positions in finance and administration.

Faculty positions are generally hired through each academic department. Visit Faculty Careers and the University Libraries for more information.
Additional job opportunities:
Temporary Positions
The Carnegie Mellon University Temporary Employment Service (TES) provides temporary office support staff to the university. TES employees help departments to fill temporary vacancies, complete special projects or catch up on work assignments. Individuals with diverse educational backgrounds and levels of experience are welcome to apply.
View the position description for TES and apply.
Once you have applied to TES, you need not apply again. Your credentials will be kept on file and reviewed when temporary positions become available.
Examples of Temporary Assignments
The needs of our departments vary, and employees of varying skills are needed for different assignments. These are some of the positions that TES employees assume:
- Receptionist
- Data Entry Clerk
- Administrative/Executive Assistant
- Editorial Assistant
- Financial Assistant
- Alumni Relations Assistant
- Computing Services Technical Support Staff
- Enrollment Coordinator
- Events Coordinator
- Bookstore Retail Assistant
- Program Assistant
Hiring and Placement Process
- A member of the TES team will review your resume and contact you if there is an interest in your credentials.
- An interview may be arranged to further discuss your experience and availability. You will be tested on MS Word and MS Excel at the time of the interview and be asked to provide employment references.
- Once an opportunity is identified, the successful candidate will return to TES for an orientation.
- The candidate will report to the department to begin work and will be eligible to obtain an ID card.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long are assignments?
Assignments vary in length from 1–2 days up to 2–3 months, and occasionally longer.
How soon will I be placed?
Your skills and the skills requested by the department determine how quickly we can place you on an assignment. In some cases you may be offered an assignment soon after completing the interview process.
Are TES employees likely to be hired permanently into their temporary position at the university?
It is possible for the employee to be considered for the position on a regular staff basis, if a vacancy exists. However, TES does not guarantee that an offer of permanent employment will be made.
Can I search for a full-time, permanent job at Carnegie Mellon while I am in a temporary position?
Employees of TES are encouraged to continue their job search while working with TES. Working in TES will not prevent the candidate from being considered for other positions at the university. The experience gained on the assignments will help build the resume, create networking opportunities and familiarize the TES employee with university policies and systems while allowing them to showcase skills and abilities.
Are TES employees eligible for benefits?
TES employees are eligible for university benefits (except time off with pay) based on their hours of work and length of employment, in the same manner as other full- and part-time employees of the university. All employees are required to work the minimum number of hours to maintain their particular benefits eligibility status. Changes to work hours or gaps in employment may result in an interruption of benefits or a change to the benefit eligibility status.
TES employees, regardless of whether they are full-time or part-time, will not be eligible for time off with pay, which includes paid time off (PTO), paid holidays or floating holidays, paid bereavement leave and paid jury duty leave.

That is a neat slug, you could get NEF 12g Ultra,
with bull barrel. they take pretty hairy loads.
Here is a picture of the 12ga FH brass case that Nathan
Vale had Bertrams make. Next to short plastic case.
Here is a picture of our 585BB headstamp. Perfect lettering
for our case as it came from production line,.
I like Hogue stocks, but they aren't made for singleshots.
We use singleshots for our 12ga FH and 585HE.
Here is picture of a NEF we set up for 24ga FH and we adapted
a Hogue 1300 Winchester Hogue to it. Looks a lot better, and
handles recoil easier than factory, Butt hollow, easy to add weight,

Our friend Brian from the far north went to Africa with his 24ga FH he did in
a NEF break action and got 3 nice buffs with it. Good job.
Our 585HE, 700HE and the great 12ga FH are now in the new COTW book
published in Oct, now out for sale,
We now have our target 375 HE cartridge, made by necking down our 585 HE.
The others couldn't make enough 375s, so we started our own. It has different
shoulder taper, length, neck length, improved over the others...Got a bunch
guys doing it, most into the 2 mile shooting venues, We're making cases,
testing, reamer prints at reamer guys, we are getting guys going. The 2 mile
shoot last year really got the interest booming for 375 necked from our case,
Here's how, size and seat 375 HE, one simple die, a 1" die, no huge dies needed
A die we can make with resize reamer from reamer guy, a regular die body,then
pass on to the next guy, one reamer can make whole bunch of dies for folks.
I do primer work separate, not in the press. SO First with lock ring set, I size cases.
When coming back out of dies with case, we notice the case still well centered,
held straight, when it is down as far as the length of the 375 HE neck... IE
the sides and shoulder corner still supported tight.
So we put washer or another lock ring on, same thickness as neck length,
below original lock ring, screw down tight tight in press,
Dies had a 5/8 x 24 thread in top, had powder fill bushing and other stuff same thread,
reamed out from bottom to set bullet height, with ram, case,and bullet up,
After priming, loading in the powder charge, we carefully start(boat tail makes it easy)
bullet in case by hand, slide up in die, into holder, raise ram to to top, bullet seated
perfect. Die can have different thread in top as long as big enough to hold seating
bushing of some kind , that can be made from many items.
These target bullets held in by strong neck tension, no crimping needed, and notice
bullet point will get no marks or dents, fast, easy, no 380-500 buck special dies.
Bushing centering bullet on ogive is very accurate.
OVER 900 375HE cases piled behind presses getting done. About 600 on another
bench nearly ready. Small batches in shelves.And we will do more.
All 375 info, prints, specs, pictures, load data, etc, is public domain, worldwide,
for any target, hunting, etc, use..Ed

Here is picture of one of 3 buffs our guy from Canada got in
Africa with our 24ga FH he did on a NEF, in 2nd picture
Here is the neck die setup, with insert stems/plugs for the top that
are set in .020" steps to make our 375 HEs shown behind
from our 585HE cases. 900 cases behind and 600 on
another bench, mostly done, and 600 started elsewhere,
We also made a hydraulic form die, 375 HE test gun, starting with
lighter bullets, for example got 340 gr to 3700,
Will test up to 400gr We will find top speeds and powders needed
to get that, and have info where to get powders. Reamer prints are
at reamer guys, all prints and info is public domain... Ed

Picture of fellows at Vestals Gunsmithing test firing 585 HE
they built for a guy. They got 750 gr to almost 2800 from
ultra short barrel, not a full load . A regular barrel would be
over 2900, 14000 ft lbs with full load..
Picture of our 375 HE cases, with little 378 WEA on left.
Middle case is with 330 gr, right case is 400gr bullet.
Here is picture of out 375HE testgun, in heavy t-hole stock.
So far 340 gr to 3700 and 360gr 3600.
Next 416 HE target case, these run through the hydro-die,
test gun done,will complete testing soon, to confirm specs.
When specs set, info will be sent to reamer guys
Soon will have 408 HE with specs set up also, for guys,
Smaller case 416s and 408s can be reamed out for
our bigger case .Ed

Here is picture of a brake on 12ga FH with real hot loaded
hollowbase lead slug, brake needed more clearance
for the expanding slug.
Here is the before and after of 375 HE cases,
2 on left necked, 2 on right formed in hydro die after necking..
Here is pic of 416 HSM second from left we are experimenting
with, going to see if we can make the ultimate 416 ELR case.
Can be 3.60" to 4.00" long, a long one pictured.
Holds over 280 gr ball powder under bullet. In the picture,
1st case is 416 HE, 2nd 416 HSM, 3rd 375 HE, 4th 378 WEA.
416 HSM will get 400gr to 4100 plus without needing BMG action,
470 gr 3800 plus , it may be the ultimate target, singleshot 416..
Case will work in fat bolt actions, with heavy enough barrel
to have good, milder, barrel harmonics and srtill be under 50 lbs.
A lot of the 2 mile type shoots are adopting 50lb limit.
Here is picture of the 416 HSM fireformed once,
next to bmg case we make it from and as we
improve wildcatting process next few weeks
some specs may make small changes, now from
base to shoulder is 3.45", case 3.97" long. Ed..
Manson has 416 HE and 408 HE prints, as well as 375 HE
He can also make you a resize die reamer from that info.
We got 700 cases in 416 and one more pass if 408s wanted, ,
Going to do lot more cases for these 2 sizes also,
Questions, PM or email. ph 989-644-5228..
Here are final specs for 416 HE.
Length 3.32", belt diameter ,655", base dia .635" ,
length base to to shoulder 2.860" , 30 deg shoulder.Ed

Guys asking about strong economical bolt gun to use for 28ga and
410 ga and 32ga with brass cases and higher pressures than plastic cases.
They can use a MN bolt action, here is pic of one with
our 585 case in the action.Guys can get Magtech brass cases or have
RMC make them....Guys can make 32ga case from 500 NE,
410s from 9.3 x 74 brass, etc..
Here is picture of our 416 HSM case sectioned next to original
BMG case on the right sectioned, to show that we still have
enough thickness in the sides to handle high pressure,
in a case with 310 gr capacity..We are getting the wildcatting
work set up so we can do at least hundred a month.
We have lots of 585s, 375HEs, 416 HEs, 408 HEs.....
And working toward getting 416 HSMs in big numbers.
Here's comparison of 416 target cases, 1st 416 HE, have whole bunch.
Second is model of what I'd have made on medium machine, if I could,
the 416 HE Long. It has capacity of 230gr..
Third is our 416 HSM which we are working on making by wildcatting bmg
cases, And if had run long cases, make longer 375 HE necking down 416 ..
Bryan Litz just recently shot 3 shot group at 2 miles using Paul
Phillips heavy barreled, target rifle built by Lethal Precision in
375 Lethal Mag(585HE necked down, very similiar to 375HE )...
It grouped 17.5 inches tall by 22 inches wide.
Applied Ballistics shooter Mitch Fitzpatrick just hit 3 of 5 at 3520 yards,
weekend 10-13th at Valdina Ranch , west of San Antonio.
Also used the 375 LM case similar to our 375 HE
Great shooting at the 2017 World's Longest Shot Challenge. Ed

The 12ga FH case now is in the new COTW book on
last page in the wildcat section, I think page 324.
They gave good credit to Rob for the idea of that case....
The model 416 HE long case in middle, hydro formed one,
has case capacity of 240 gr, and the 416 HSM in picture,
on the right, we fired a case twice, capacity is 320gr.. Ed..
More info out now; short, fat cases sticking, pockets not lasting as expected.
Trying to get best speeds the things raising pressures are bad case
proportions, too sharp of shoulders, too fast of powders...........
and debth of the bullet into the powder space, as shown in the picture below..
My 375, 416, etc testing, bullets loaded like bottom one, in longer freebore....Ed.

Here is recap simple setup to get faster loads with 12ga sabots
& slugs, Example using break actions...., reaming chamber
in a 12ga break action to 3.5" with a 3.5" 12ga reamer, that isn't
something needing special order, and use 3.5" plastic cases , or
get 3.5" brass cases made. With mag shotgun primers and
our slower powder loads you can get a quarter more speed,
which gives 50% more energy...
585 Hubel Express video, 190ft/lbs recoil, heavy load, gun little light.....
Another view of Asteroid Precision's.... 375 HE target gun,
Here is our 416 HSM we are developing next to 416 Barrett, Ed

Here in picture of the cases, are shown the steps in making
our 416 HSM case, from BMG brass,, Ed
We might have a company that is doing a bolt gun with an action
between BMG size and longer rifle actions used for 375 HE,
375 Lethal, and Cheytacs.. To use for our 416 HSM without
having to do extreme rebating of the rim.
Here is picture of 620 416 hsm cases half done. Done on cnc ,
that slimmed them down, cut new rim and extractor groove.
There are over 500 more at cnc getting done now, plus we have
1000s more bmg cases we make them from, when needed..
This case is public domain and if anyone wants to make
them we can give the steps involved...Ed.

For big long cases our testing is showing that the 416 easier to get powders to work with, less problems ..
Maybe building a target gun,don't have 375 barrel all ready, maybe go 416....
We got cases, 416 HE and 416 HSM, as well as 375...
CEB and others will have bullets...CEB will be doing .416 in 450gr, 475gr, 500gr, 525gr and 550gr
Got sent 5 thick sided sample cases, same OD base as 585/375.416 cases, same belt, just .180" longer,
did a 416 HE, chambered extra barrel , cases stick over 50k. They have about .042" total taper, .021" per
side, when I necked couple to 416. That is a lot of taper , twice the taper of my 416HE...hanging up at 50k..
I could maybe go to 65k with these if we made taper with ..012" - .016" more taper to each side, but that is
no way to build target cases. I'd have to crunch down case shoulder diameter. And would look like 30-30.
And crazy part is, the case has enough brass material to thin up sides and stretch them way out to 4 or
more inches,, They weigh 150 gr more than our 585/375/416,, but with real thick sides they actually
hold less than our 416 HE with thin sides, that is .180" shorter...Our case does 65k ok without sticking..
And we can make super long 4" cases work if we had means to get them built, as we have
15 powders slower than HBMG.Here is pic of thin and thick sided cases, sectioned for comparison.Ed..

Brodeur, Selanne lead NHL's over-35 clubby John Kreiser
Hockey at the NHL level is a sport for the young, right? Well ... not always.
The number of young impact players in the NHL seems to rise every year, but that doesn't mean there's no place for guys whose playoff beards include more than a little gray. Though the retirement of Nicklas Lidstrom and the decision by Tim Thomas to take a year off have thinned the NHL's brigade of oldies-but-goodies, there are still a number of players 35 and older who are more than capable of keeping up with the kids.
Using the NHL's postseason All-Star team format, here's a look at the best of the over-35 crowd:
First Team
Martin Brodeur, New Jersey Devils
Age: 40
After arguably the worst season of Brodeur's career -- he finished 2010-11 with a sub-.500 record (23-26-3) for the first time and his 2.45 goals-against average was his highest since 2005-06 -- he showed last season that he's anything but washed up. Not only did Brodeur go 31-21-4 while leading the Devils back to the playoffs, the NHL's winningest goaltender ramped up his play in the postseason, leading New Jersey to its first Stanley Cup Final since 2003. He'll be back for more after signing a two-year deal this summer.
Age: 35
Boston's captain appears to be getting better as he gets older. All Chara did in the season in which he turned 35 was put up a career high in points (52) and go plus-33 for the second straight season. He was named a Second-Team All-Star for the second year in a row and enters this season as one of the NHL's top defensemen -- an offensive threat, a defensive force, and the leader of one of the League's top teams.
Age: 36
Boyle isn't flashy, but he's still consistently productive. After overcoming the effects of an early-season injury, he finished eighth in scoring among defensemen with 48 points for the Sharks last season -- he's averaged 53 points in his four seasons with San Jose. Despite never being drafted and not becoming an NHL regular until after he turned 24, Boyle has played more than 800 games, scored 125 goals and surpassed 500 career points.
Martin St. Louis, Tampa Bay Lightning
Age: 37
Perhaps the biggest reason Steven Stamkos became a 60-goal scorer was that he had St. Louis on his line. At 37, the former University of Vermont star is still one of the NHL's best passers and has developed tremendous chemistry that has helped turn Stamkos into the NHL's top gun. Despite missing some time in December after taking a puck to the face during a morning skate, St. Louis finished with 74 points in 77 games and has averaged better than a point per game for his past nine seasons.
Age: 40
All Whitney did as a 39-year-old was have a career year with 24 goals and 77 points, join the NHL's 1,000-point club, help the Phoenix Coyotes to their first division title and the best playoff run in franchise history -- and earn Second-Team All-Star honors. That's pretty good for a guy who broke into hockey as a stick boy for his hometown Edmonton Oilers, was the second player picked by the San Jose Sharks in their first draft, and survived enough demotions, cuts and buyouts to fill a transaction column. His NHL odyssey will continue in Dallas, where he signed a two-year deal this summer.
Age: 42
Much to the delight of the Ducks and their fans, Selanne decided to return for another season. And why not -- as a 41-year-old, he led the team in scoring with 66 points and was third with 26 goals, including a dozen on the power play. More amazing, perhaps, was that he averaged nearly 18 minutes of ice time while playing all 82 games. He'll never score 76 goals as he did in his rookie season, but Selanne is still an offensive force -- and a hockey icon in Orange County.
Second Team
Tomas Vokoun, Pittsburgh Penguins
Age: 36
The perception was that Vokoun's season with the Washington Capitals was a disappointment. The reality was that expectations may have been too high for a team that underachieved during the regular season. Vokoun went 25-17-2 with a 2.51 goals-against average and .917 save percentage in 48 games for the Caps before injuries ended his season -- continuing a consistent career that has seen him put up a GAA between 2.40 and 2.68 and a save percentage between .917 and .926 every year since 2005-06. He's 13 wins away from 300 and signed with Pittsburgh this summer.
Honorable mention: Johan Hedberg (New Jersey Devils), 39; Evgeni Nabokov (New York Islanders), 36
Kimmo Timonen, Philadelphia Flyers
Age: 37
Timonen has been one of the NHL's most consistent defensemen during his five seasons with the Flyers, putting up from 37 to 44 points (he had 43 in 2011-12), playing more than 20 minutes a game (21:14 last season), and missing just 21 games in his past eight seasons. He's been the focal point around whom coach Peter Laviolette has been able to build his defense.
Sergei Gonchar, Ottawa Senators
Age: 38
Gonchar's second season in Ottawa was considerably better than his first. Not only did he stay healthier (74 games played, up from 67), his points jumped from 27 to 37 and he went from minus-15 to minus-4. Gonchar isn't the offensive force he was in his prime, but he's still someone to be reckoned with, especially on the power play.
Honorable mention: Sami Salo (Tampa Bay Lightning), 37; Lubomir Visnovsky (New York Islanders), 35; Willie Mitchell (Los Angeles Kings), 35; Marek Zidlicky (New Jersey Devils), 35
Age: 40
The highest-scoring European-born player in NHL history returned to North America last season after three years in Russia and showed he hadn't lost his scoring touch. Not only did Jagr score 19 times and add 35 assists for 54 points in 73 games (despite battling some groin issues), he proved to be a stabilizing influence in the Philadelphia Flyers dressing room and an excellent mentor for Claude Giroux. Jagr will take on a new challenge this fall when he plays for a Western Conference team for the first time after signing with Dallas.
Age: 35
The greatest player in Flames history turned 35 this summer, but his age hasn't stopped him from putting the puck in the net. Iginla scored 32 times last season, giving him 11 consecutive seasons with 30 or more goals, and he passed the 1,000-point and 500-goal barriers in consecutive seasons. He's a prototypical power forward, the face of the franchise -- and still its best player.
Patrik Elias, New Jersey
Age: 36
The leading scorer in the history of the Devils' franchise just keeps on putting up points -- 78 of them last season, the most he's had since 2003-04. Elias has very quietly amassed 361 goals and 894 points and shows no signs of slowing down -- he finished the regular season with eight points in his last five games and added five goals and eight points during the Devils' run to the Stanley Cup Final.
Honorable mention: Shane Doan, 35; Saku Koivu, 37; Jason Arnott, 37; Vinny Prospal, 37; Daniel Alfredsson, 39

DAVIS, Calif. - The Gauchos recorded their most service aces and their second highest team hitting percentage of the season on Friday night, decisively rolling over the host UC Davis Aggies 3-1 (25-21, 20-25, 25-11, 25-23).
UCSB improved to an even .500 record in the conference at 3-3 with a 10-11 overall record. UC Davis fell to 9-10, 3-3.
Leading the charge for the Gauchos were middle blockers Jenna Wilson and Britton Taylor. The UCSB middles recorded twin lines of 12 kills on 19 attacks. Jenna, a junior, matched a career high with her 12 kills - and set a new one with her lofty .526 hitting percentage - to go along with a team-high five blocks. Britton, a freshman, had a .574 hitting percentage and two blocks.
Feeding Wilson and Taylor on the slide was freshman Jaylen Villanueva, who had one of her strongest nights as a Gaucho: career highs in assists (40) and aces (2) while also contributing 16 digs and five kills on 11 attacks.
Freshman libero Taylor Formico had a typically strong defensive night - the Mountain View, Calif. native had a match-high 20 digs - while also contributing on the offensive end with a career and match-high 4 aces. All four aces came in the third game - a set which the Gauchos dominated - three of which took place in a mid-set run and the last one which was the game-clincher.
UCSB's 11 aces overall represented a new season high. UCD's Allison Whitson was victimized to the tune of eight reception errors.
As a team, the Gauchos hit .240 on the night. Only their .254 figure against Cal State Northridge has been higher this season. UCSB improved on their Big West best kill rate of 13.81 kills per game in conference matches with 58 team digs over four games.
Junior outside hitter Leah Sully had yet another double-double on Friday night, collecting a team-high 13 kills to go along with 11 digs.
UC Davis was led by Devon Damelio, who had 12 kills and 14 digs. Victoria Lee had a match-high six blocks.
The Gauchos continue their road trip tomorrow, when they take on Pacific at 7 p.m. in Stockton, Calif.

Lena Dunham (OMG J'adore) has made a video about her first time. Voting, that is. And it's peachy keen. Even better, many GOPsters with no sense of humor have called her out on it. It effing rocks and here it is; please watch and share. One week to go, mes cheres. Mon Dieu! Has this not been the longest presidential campaign in history?
The photo of the week is of a child dressed as a bear coming face to face with a real bear. It's, um, genius.
The original recording of Jesus Christ Superstar was released on October 27, 1970. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice called it a "rock opera concept album" and it was not staged as a Broadway play/musical until the following year. Rice and Webber went on to become among the most successful Broadway composers in history, and this amazing double album was one of the earliest highlights in their spectacular career. The music holds up today and remains a staple on my iPod.

One of my favorite photo tumblrs at the moment is this one, where a work colleague of mine who's an ace photographer posts images she takes surreptitiously on the subway.
Here's one of the best Halloween ideas I've ever seen. Take Back Halloween calls itself "A costume guide for women with imagination." This is the inaugural venture of the Real History Project, conceived in 2010 "as a series of projects to popularize knowledge of the past—the real stuff, not just the Dead White Male version of history," per Suzanne Scoggins, a writer and feminist who specializes in women's history. There are four categories: Glamour Girls, Goddesses and Legends, Notable Women, and Queens. And the best part is these costume ideas can be easily created with readily available materials. Check out my favorite Mexican goddess, Ixchel. Also you can help fund the site via Suzanne's Kickstarter campaign.
During the taping of a recent David Frost Special that is due to air next month on Al-Jazeera, Paul McCartney stated that Yoko Ono did not break up the Beatles. "She certainly didn't break the group up, the group was breaking up," he said. Although Paul did, he admits, find it difficult that Yoko sat in on the recording sessions (she basically followed John everywhere at the time), he didn't and doesn't blame her for the group's disbanding. As someone who grieved egregiously when the Beatles broke up in 1970, I can tell you this actually means a lot to me.
Since it's one week before we pull those levers and set the course for the next four years, I hope you'll indulge me a second election-centered video. This one is of Writer/Filmmaker Joss Whedon advising us exactly how Mitt Romney will "put us back on the path to the zombie apocalypse." "Romney is ready to make the deep rollbacks in health care, education, social services, reproductive rights, that will guarantee poverty, unemployment, overpopulation, disease, rioting – all crucial elements in creating a nightmare zombie wasteland," says Whedon dispassionately to camera.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and this is as true as it gets with #instacane, the story of Hurricane Sandy told through instagram. To quote one of those who posted an image, "SHITS GETTING REAL."
In case you had not heard, Little Steven Van Zandt is bringing together the Rascals in their original lineup (Felix Cavaliere, Gene Cornish, Eddie Brigati and Dino Danelli) for their first public performance in over 40 years with a combination concert/theatrical event called "Once Upon A Dream" in December at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York. The first four shows have sold out and three more shows have been added, which are sure to sell out quickly. "To do justice to the Rascals' importance, I've written a show for them that is just as unique as they are," says Van Zandt.
Hurricane, anyone? Apparently these 41 furry friends are ready to face down Big Sandy in their fetching attire, via BuzzFeed. Frankenstorm Shmankenstorm.

Amarillo, TX – The diocese of Amarillo today stepped forward to state publicly that Fr. Frank Pavone is a priest of good standing in the Catholic Church, and that there are no claims at all being made that he did anything wrong.
Reports in the last couple of days may have led some to the opposite conclusion because the bishop wants more information regarding the finances of the ministries Fr. Pavone heads. But there is a difference between wanting more information and claiming that someone did something wrong. And the diocese wanted to stress that distinction. There is no suspicion of wrongdoing.

The question posed by the Vizio E2VLE series comes down to priorities. If your priority is getting scads of streaming video and audio content delivered wirelessly to your TV as cheaply as possible without having to use an external box, it's worth a look. But if your priority is getting good picture quality for the money, look elsewhere. The Roku LT can supply those scads to any TV for as little as $50, and the TCL L40FHDF12A is one example of a budget TV with picture quality that matches this Vizio's. Many others perform better at the same price, so despite a lengthy features list the E2VLE series is tough to recommend.
Editors' note: The CNET Editors' rating above factors in a new Value score that joins Design, Features, and Performance in our ratings calculations for TVs. In the case of the Vizio E2VLE series, the Value score is 6.
Series information: I performed a hands-on evaluation of the 47-inch Vizio E472VLE, but this review also applies to the other screen sizes in the series. All sizes have identical specs and should provide very similar picture quality.
|Models in series (details)
|Vizio E422VLE
|42 inches
|Vizio E472VLE (reviewed)
|47 inches
|Vizio E552VLE
|55 inches
The chunky, pedestrian exterior of the E2VLE series hearkens back to TV designs of a few years ago, when frames and panels were thicker, black was glossier and angles were sharper. Those angles on the frame seem intended to echo the "V" of the logo (which illuminates, and can be turned off), and the only other accent is a similarly angled badge proclaiming the presence of "120Hz Smooth Motion." The angular (see the theme?) stand refuses to swivel.
Unlike Vizio's higher-end Smart TV remotes, the clicker that comes with the E2VLE models lacks a backside QWERTY keyboard. The front side could be a lot better. It lacks illumination, the menu/exit/guide/back keys are too small, there's not enough differentiation, and no direct button to switch aspect ratio. Its best feature is dedicated keys for Amazon Instant, Netflix and Vudu streaming services.
Vizio's menu system remains unchanged from recent years, and it's still very good. It resembles another app in appearance, and we liked that the picture settings section is actually integrated into the main App taskbar (see below). Responses were fast, explanations complete, and we had no problems finding our way around.
|Key TV features
|Display technology
|LED backlight
|Screen finish
|Smart TV
|Internet connection
|Built-in Wi-Fi
|3D technology
|3D glasses included
|Refresh rate(s)
|Dejudder (smooth) processing
|DLNA compliant
Vizio is known for getting more features to ever-lower price points, and by ditching expensive LED backlighting on the E2VLE series, it created one of the cheapest Smart TV-equipped models around. I like the addition of built-in Wi-Fi, and Vizio finally caught up with the competition by adding DLNA to browse files over a home network (it stopped responding and crashed in our brief test with a packed media server, however). The only image-affecting extra is 120Hz with smoothing, if you like that kind of thing (I don't).
Smart TV: Vizio still calls its app suite VIA for "Vizio Internet Apps," although its Web site now uses the generic Smart TV. Its design, based on the original Yahoo Widgets, consists of a strip along the bottom of the screen. It shows just four widgets at a time, so finding the one you want is a tedious scrolling chore if you any more than 10 or so installed. Vizio doesn't make finding new widgets any easier, with a "Yahoo Connected TV Store" that's crowded with entirely too much chaff, including way too many "apps" devoted to local TV stations. Overall the experience feels dated and definitely a step behind major competitors.
Content selection, however, is among the best available today. Since last year it has added CinemaNow, YouTube, and many others, leaving no major video services off the list (although sports apps like MLB.TV and NHL are still AWOL). There's also a Skype icon but it seems inactive for now--clicking it simply exited the system. Vizio is still the only TV maker to support Rhapsody, and with Pandora, TuneIn Radio and iHeartRadio there's plenty of musical choice too.
Picture settings: The selection here is adequate but not up to LG or Samsung's standards, lacking a gamma presets, a 10-point grayscale, color management and fine dejudder control. There's a ridiculous number of picture modes so viewers who like to create different settings for all kinds of material and sources will have a lot to like.
Most of the picture controls and all of the presets are also available when watching streaming video.

Now that aggressive colorblocking (and to a certain extent, pattern-mixing) has run its course, designers have moved on to mixing textures. One wonders exactly where the fashion industry will go once piling beads, fur, studs and jingle bells onto the same outfit becomes tiresome (all the way back around to stark minimalism, probably), but for the moment, your style pursuit for fall is to load up on all the wonderful textures you can.
We all know that fur and bags often don't mix, and beading can make your purse look a little too precious for regular use, so what's an accessories fiend to do? Embroidery is one big option for fall, and if you don't mind channeling grandma (or maybe you really dig it), it might just be the perfect, detailed, texture-rich way to go. Check out our picks for the season's ten best embroidered bags, from Jason Wu to Alexander McQueen, after the jump.
