The manual features a simple layout that begins with easy topics and progresses into harder tasks.
Some topics covered by this Mercury Milan and Ford Fusion repair manual include tune-ups, engine overhauls, fuel systems, clutches and driveaxles, brakes and more. There's even a chapter on the chassis electrical system that includes helpful wiring diagrams. Like other Haynes manuals, instructions are supplemented with photos, illustrations, exploded views and more to assist novice mechanics with component locations and removal.
Note: This manual DOES NOT cover hybrid models.
Book Excerpt: 2006-2014 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan Repair Manual
HOW TO USE THIS CHAPTER
This part of chapter 2 is devoted to repair procedures possible while the engine is still installed in the vehicle.
Since these procedures are based on the assumption that the engine is installed in the vehicle, if the engine has been removed from the vehicle and mounted on a stand, some of the preliminary dismantling steps outlined will not apply.
Information concerning engine/transaxles removal and replacement and engine overhaul can be found in Part C of this Chapter.
These engines are sixteen-valve, double overhead camshaft (DOHC), four-cylinder, inline type, mounted transversely at the front of the vehicle, with the transmission on the left-handed end. They incorporate an aluminum cylinder head and an aluminum cylinder block.
The two camshafts are driven by a timing chain, each operating eight valves via conventional lifters. Each camshaft rotates in five bearings that are line-bored directly in the cylinder head and the (bolted-on) bearing caps.
This means that the bearing caps are not available separately from the cylinder head, and must not be interchanged with caps from another engine.
These engines incorporate an aluminum timing chain cover and oil pan, and the crankshaft main caps are part of a one-piece lower block support.
When working on these engines, note the Torx-type (both male and female heads) and hexagon socket (Allen head) fasteners are widely used.
A good selection of sockets, with necessary adapters, will be required, so that these can be unscrewed without damage and, on reassembly, tightened to the torque wrench settings specified.
The oil pump is driven via a chain from the front of the crankshaft, using the same sprocket that drives the timing chain.
VALVE COVERS: REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
The pump forces oil through an externally mounted full-flow cartridge-type filter. From the filter, the oil is pumped into a main gallery in the cylinder block/crankcase, from where it is distributed to the crankshaft (main bearings) and cylinder head.
Note: The number and location of stud-bolts and standard bolts used to secure the valve covers may vary, depending on the year and build date of this vehicle. Keep track of the stud locations for reassembly.
- Remove the engine access cover, if equipped.
Front Valve cover | Refer to illustrations 4.2, 4.7a, 4.7b, 4.9, 4.10a, 4.10b, 4.14a, 4.14b and 4.14c
- Disconnect the crankcase ventilation tube (see illustration).
- Remove the ignition coils (see chapter 5). Remove the air cleaner housing (see chapter 4).
- Disconnect the wiring harness from the valve cover and position it off to the side.
- On 3.5L engines, remove the engine oil dip-stick and tube.
- Disconnect the VCT electrical connector and oxygen sensor connector.
- Loosen the valve cover bolts/nuts gradually and evenly until all are loose. Follow reverse of tightening sequence (see illustration 4.14a, 4.14b, or 4.14c). Remove the valve cover fasteners and lift the valve cover off the engine.
- Remove and discard the valve cover gaskets and spark plug tube seals (see illustrations). Install new gaskets and seals during reassembly. Note: The spark plug tube seals can be re-used if they are in good condition and were not leaking.
The Haynes 36045 - Ford Fusion / Mercury Milan Service Manual, like all Haynes manuals, is based on a complete teardown and rebuild.

Heavy U.S. and European Union sanctions aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear program are starting to affect how Iran stores oil, according to a Tuesday report from Reuters.
Additionally, AFP indicated on Tuesday that restrictions on Iranian shipping and financial institutions are fundamentally forcing the country to reconsider how it exports oil. All of these sanctions may not soften the Iranian stance on nuclear power, the Christian Science Monitor reported on Tuesday, as the country is using PowerPoint slides to bolster its claim of legitimate grounds for uranium enrichment.
Here are further details regarding the sanctions impacting Iran and the Middle Eastern nation's nuclear ambitions.
Iran following NPT rules, it says: During a presentation given at the last P5+1 (the U.S., U.K., China, Russia, France and Germany) group meeting in Moscow, the Iranians tried to use several slides to show that they were simply following the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) while enriching uranium.
Iran presented its case last month, arguing that the primary enrichment location at Fordow was "facing constant threats, (so) we need a back up facility to safeguard our enrichment activities," according to the Christian Science Monitor. The P5+1, for their part, countered that all guarantees for the NPT were nullified by reported violations of the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards, and that Fordow must be shut down, along with a halt to enrichment activities.
Iran out of room for oil storage: The Reuters report indicated that oil sales have fallen by half of last year's sales, forcing both land and shipboard storage of oil to reach critical capacity levels.
Complicating matters worse, Iran has had to resort to using its own fleet to ship oil due to a European Union prohibition on insurers and reinsurers in Europe against carrying Iranian crude, the AFP reported. With a section of its own fleet in the Gulf filled with stored oil, the insurance prohibition coupled with the E.U.'s own sanctions against buying oil has severely impacted Iran's ability to export.
Country forced to be creative: According to the Associated Press, Iran has attempted to circumvent some of the financial, insurance, and sales sanctions issues by creating a private oil export group. Iranian officials are hoping that by doing so, they may be able to avoid sanctions targeting larger distribution channels.
The AFP noted that Tanzania may have reflagged six Iranian tankers to help the country with its shipments, while Japan passed a law allowing Iran to reinsure up to $7.6 billion worth of Iranian crude. China and India permit Iranian sales directly through its own Iranian-insured fleet.

This is our second year of serious gardening. I have always had tomato plants (even back when we lived in an apartment, on our balcony), but last year, Mr. Handsome stepped up our game by building two large raised beds.
In our big beds, we planted lettuce, sugar snap peas, spinach, and kale from seed at the very end of March. We also put broccoli seeds in a pot. At the end of April, we bought small tomato plants from Home Depot and planted those in our smaller raised beds.
So far, everything is doing great. Our lettuce is going wild, so we have been eating salads twice a day. We are considering taking out a couple rows and planting green beans, just because we have so much.
The kale is also starting to grow quickly, so we have added sauteed kale to our dinners most nights. For that, I saute two minced garlic cloves in a little bit of oil, in a cast iron pan. Then I add the kale and another splash of oil. Once it shrinks down (about a minute) I add a half cup of chicken broth and let it cook for about five minutes. Then I season it with a dash of salt. I think it’s delicious. Mr. Handsome thinks it’s decent, but he’s hoping to find a better kale recipe. If you have any to share, let us know.
The lettuce looks so good! Maybe give some of it away if you haven’t already?
Seems like you’re cooking the daylights out of that kale. All I do is cut the ribs out, cut it up roughly, wash it off, leave it wet, and put it in a frying pan for a minute or two of stirring. The water left on it will steam it and wilt it but if the pan gets too dry, add another Tbsp. of water. That’s all – just add some cracked black pepper and eat. Your garden kale will take no time at all to wilt in the pan. Store-bought takes a little longer.
Kale chips are delicious! Lay the leaves flat on a baking sheet and oast them in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper until crispy. 😋
I’ll give that a try. Thanks!
Ehm, you really need a lot more distance between plants to make them grow properly. The lettuce leave are about a quarter of the size they should be. Put at least 10 inches in between.
It’s leaf lettuce. You can crowd it. As you pick it, that will thin it out. It’s impossible to sow tiny leaf lettuce seeds 10″ apart.
I make a raw marinated salad with chopped (raw) kale, broccoli, onion, carrot (grated), and red bell pepper. Seasoning is s&p and garlic powder. Dressing is 1 part white wine vinegar to 2 parts olive oil plus a dash of mustard powder and enough sugar to cut the vinegar tartness. Add in (hulled) sunflower seeds at the last minute. Keeps for several days in the fridge. Based on a salad we had from Whole Foods.
Sounds delicious. Thanks!
I wilt kale just a little in olive oil with a splash of vinegar. Then I add some thinly sliced radishes and saute just a little. Good side dish.
Thanks for sharing, Cathy!
If you’ve never sauteed radishes, try cutting them in small wedges and frying them in some butter until they’re golden. They come out tasting like french fries. No radish bitterness or heat after cooking, for some happy reason.
I’ve never tried that, but I am definitely going to. Just added radishes to my grocery list.
Here’s a recipe and a picture: https://www.wholesomeyum.com/sauteed-radishes-recipe/
Thank you! Printing it right now.
That looks awesome, I’m inspired to grow lettuce and kale now! I would love to eat more salads but my husband and I have been sick three times from bad lettuce so I just can’t bring myself to buy it! 😂
Wow, three times! That’s terrible. I feel for you. What brands and types of lettuce was it?
Not sure if you guys ever make yourself breakfast smoothies, but you can throw a big handful of salad greens in one of those, and then you get the benefit of the greens without necessarily feeling like you’re actually eating greens! I believe kale tends to be more bitter than spinach/lettuce, so you’ll definitely want to disguise it well with other ingredients like banana, berries, and cocoa powder, and blend it really well.
That’s a good idea!

San Francisco residents who want to puff a joint in the comfort of their own home could get hit with a $1,000 fine under a new proposed city policy.
Last week, a committee of the city Board of Supervisors agreed to advance a bill to ban smoking inside private apartments. The bill, sponsored by Supervisor Norman Yee, would prohibit tenants from smoking or vaping tobacco or cannabis anywhere in their apartments, even on private balconies and outdoor patios. The only exception to the rule is for registered medical marijuana patients, who would be allowed to continue smoking medical pot indoors.
If passed, the bill would allow the city Department of Public Health to issue fines of up to $1,000 to anyone caught smoking in an apartment. The city would issue warnings to smokers before fining them, though. The bill also stipulates that violations of the smoking policy would not be grounds for eviction. People living in an apartment building that has fewer than three units would also be exempt from the ban.
The end goal of the bill is to prevent secondhand smoke from drifting into the apartments of non-smoking tenants. “Smoke easily moves between units and buildings,” said Yee in a recent tweet. “Now that more of us work from home, it's more important than ever because there is no way to contain it."
Private smoking bans are actually becoming increasingly common in California, where 63 different cities have enacted similar proposals. Several leading medical groups, including the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, have voiced their support for Yee’s bill, citing claims that secondhand smoke kills more than 40,000 Americans a year.
In recent years, researchers have continued to explore the potential risks of exposure to secondhand smoke and vapor, but with few conclusive results. A 2013 study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute actually found no link between secondhand smoke and lung cancer, and other studies have found that exposure to passive vapor from e-cigarettes or other vaping devices does not seem to pose any serious health risk.
Critics of the ban have argued that it discriminates against lower-income residents, as it would allow a wealthy homeowner living in a duplex or multi-unit condo to smoke weed or tobacco in the privacy of their own homes, while banning a renter in a similar-sized building from doing the same. Most apartment buildings in the city actually already prohibit indoor smoking, giving nonsmokers plenty of smoke-free living options.
The ban is also especially concerning for cannabis users, as the city already prohibits weed smoking or vaping in public and in practically every business establishment. There are a handful of legal cannabis lounges in the city, but they have all been shuttered since the pandemic began in March. For these reasons, at least one other city Supervisor has suggested that the bill should be amended to only ban indoor tobacco use, and not pot.
The full city Board of Supervisors will meet to discuss the bill next month.


Continental introduced smart self-priming tiresSeptember 13, 2019
The problem of sudden pressure loss in a tire has not been so acute for a long time. Firstly, cars have learned to detect a decrease in pressure and warn the driver about it. Secondly, tires are installed on some models that are not afraid of complete depressurization (you can drive hundreds of kilometers to the nearest service). But Continental decided to go further: it introduced a prototype of a smart tire that not only knows how to pump itself, but also adapts the pressure to current conditions.
Concept Conti C.A.R.E. (Connected. Autonomous. Reliable. Electrified.) Was shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Such a tire is literally packed with sensors. They can find out the residual tread height, the technical condition of the tire, its temperature and, of course, the internal pressure. All this information is collected by the ContiSense system and transmitted via the built-in Bluetooth to the on-board computer of the car, then it can be sent to the owner’s smartphone.
The cornerstone of the new tire was the ability to independently adjust the pressure. For this, external pumping systems are not used (such were used on some trucks as far back as the middle of the last century), but an integrated centrifugal pump. When the car has gained speed, the pump may begin to pump air into the tire. Excess compressed air is stored in a small built-in tank, which can subsequently be used to quickly equalize the pressure in the wheel (this function is called PressureBoost).
The bottom line is Conti C.A.R.E. not only automatically maintains perfectly even pressure in the tires, but also can independently adapt it to environmental conditions: vehicle speed and load, ambient temperature and so on. Continental draws attention to the fact that this ultimately helps to reduce CO2 emissions, but there are actually more benefits: from improved controllability (if you increase pressure at high speeds) and throughput (if you reduce pressure on quick-moving surfaces) to less wear on the projector and less fuel consumption.
The ContiSense system is also presented as a convenient solution for fleet management: with its help, the owner will always know the status of all tires, and can also be sure that each of them is optimally pumped up.
While Continental does not talk about the possible timing of the appearance of a smart tire in the commercial market, as well as about the estimated price.

Management of accidental extubation in patients in the prone position Laia Bosch, Susana Pacreu, Ana Pardo, Laura Castelltort, Marc Sadurní, Lluís Gallart. Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care. Parc de Salut Mar, Barcelona. Spain. BACKGROUND Accidental extubation in surgical prone position is an exceptional and life-threatening complication1. We present a case report and we propose a management algorithm for this accident. CASE REPORT A 78-year-old man, ASA III, underwent C1-C4 fixation. Airway evaluation was Mallampati Class I, mandibular subluxation 0º, correct thyromental distance and slight limitation of head extension. History of previous easy tracheal intubation. General anesthesia and tracheal intubation were practiced. The patient was placed in prone position and head was fixed with Mayfield® skull clamp. Anesthesia was maintained without neuromuscular blockade due to intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring. After 3 hours of surgery, accidental extubation was confirmed. We warned the surgeon and made an attempt of fiberoptic intubation in prone position, without success. A LMA Fastrach® in prone position was placed. Tracheal intubation through LMA was achieved with adequate ventilation. In this context, the patient presented oxygen desaturation and extreme bradycardia, ending up with cardiac arrest due to asystolia. We rotate the patient, started cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers and administered intravenous adrenaline. Return of spontaneous circulation was achieved in 3 minutes. Surgical procedure was finished and patient had a satisfactory evolution without sequels. DISCUSSION Accidental extubation must be prevented, identifying and correcting the causes. In our case, extubation was caused by perioral muscular activity, induced by intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, and copious secretions. These factors decreased the adhesion of the paper tape used to attach the tracheal tube. We have changed the model of tape and modified tube attachment standards. If no formal contraindication exists, atropine is administered. We decided to design an algorithm (Figure 1)2 that defines the team roles. The strategy is based on the ability of adequate prone mask ventilation, the ability of LMA ventilation and the difficulty of tracheal intubation. A previous simulation of the scene could be useful, assigning a task to every person involved. The path of the algorithm has to be previously discussed and decided, in order to act fast and effectively. REFERENCES 1. Spond M et al. A&A Case Reports 2016. 2. Hung MH et al. Anesth Analg 2008. LEARNING POINTS We believe that insertion of the LMA Fastrach® should be a good choice. It would be the first option in patients in prone position.

CryptoCurrency Mining Performance (Scrypt)
In response to growing enthusiasm to the world of cryptocurrencies we have started to benchmark graphics card for their mining power. While Bitcoin mining is pointless and unprofitable on consumer hardware, Scrypt mining can still be profitable due to the current absence of Scrypt ASIC miners. We use CGMiner for AMD cards and CUDA miner for Nvidia cards to benchmark their Scrypt Hashing performance. You can see configurations for Scrypt-hashing and more Scrypt hashing results here. Our results are by no means the absolute best that is possible for each of the graphics cards we test, these results are based on the factory clock speeds of the graphics cards and we do not spend that much time tweaking to find the optimal settings. You WILL be able to achieve better performance through better optimised settings and by overclocking. Though we hope these results should give you a rough idea of what to aim for if you choose one of the graphics cards we have tested. Please note we are using the recent major update for CUDA miner that dramatically increases Nvidia mining performance.

Chennai, Nov 10: N Shoban Babu, Digital Effects Supervisor of Imageworks India explained the making of the film 'I am Legend,' at the 7th International Animation Day celebration here on Saturday, Nov 8. "The dedication, passion, attitude and knowledge of many visual effects technicians from India have made an impact on many films at the international level," he said addressing the programme organised by ASIFA India. Many Indians, including Babu, who was the Computer Graphics Supervisor, were part of the team that digitally created an environment for the post-apocalyptic science fiction film directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Will Smith.
However another visual effects expert Mohanakrishnan of EFX said that despite plenty of talent in India only a small percentage is employable. Better communication skills and attitude are necessary for an individual contributing to the animation industry. He explained how three different layers of three separate shots were merged using digital effects in the film 'Virumaandi' to create a breathtaking scene of a fierce bull moving past actor Kamal Haasan.
"Animation is an art. A person with exemplary ability to draw can contribute to the industry with the technological tools available," Mohanakrishnan said.

By Marina Villén / Tehran / Iran admitted on Saturday that its armed forces had downed a Ukraine International Airlines passenger jet with 176 civilians on board and said it had been an involuntary human error.
The Iranian military had been denying their responsibility in the tragedy – which took place on Wednesday, shortly after the UIA flight PS752 took off from Tehran airport – for the past two days after several NATO members, spearheaded by Canada, said they had intelligence suggesting the plane crash was not due to a technical error, but rather had been brought down by ballistic missiles.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran deeply regrets this disastrous mistake,” Iranian President Hassan Rouhani wrote on Twitter. “My thoughts and prayers go to all the mourning families. I offer my sincerest condolences.”
Rouhani said in a separate post that the investigation into the circumstances that led to the tragic error would continue.
Meanwhile, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard said in a statement that the mistake was made in the context of a “very delicate crisis situation,” claiming that the Boeing 737 had flown close to a IRG military center with the “altitude and flight position of an enemy target.”
Iran’s foreign minister, Javad Zarif, also took to Twitter to express his regret for the incident and partially blamed it on the United States’ “adventurism.”
“A sad day. Preliminary conclusions of internal investigation by Armed Forces: Human error at time of crisis caused by US adventurism led to disaster,” Zarif wrote. “Our profound regrets, apologies and condolences to our people, to the families of all victims, and to other affected nations.”
The crash occurred in the context of a targeted missile attack against two US bases in Iraq, Tehran’s retaliation for the assassination of its top general, Qasem Soleimani, via drone strike in Baghdad on Jan. 3. Iran warned the US in advance of this limited response, thus avoiding any casualties.
In a later official government statement, Rouhani said the military had been on alert for possible American attacks after Soleimani’s “martyrdom.”
The Iranian leader added that he had instructed all relevant government bodies to take all necessary actions to ensure compensation to the victims’ families.
Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei order an investigation into the possible “irregularities and negligence” that led to the tragedy.
Hours later, the IRGC’s aerospace commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh accepted responsibility for the downing of the jet and said the passenger plane had been mistaken for a cruise missile.
“The defense system was on maximum alert,” he told a press conference, adding that the system had picked up what it believed to be a cruise missile 19 kilometers away.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded to Iran’s admission on Twitter.
“This morning brings the truth. Ukraine insists on a full admission of guilt. We expect Iran to bring those responsible to justice, return the bodies, pay compensation and issue an official apology. The investigation must be full, open and continue without delays or obstacles.”
Eleven Ukrainians, including all nine crew members, were killed when the aircraft was downed in the northern Tehran exurb of Shahrar after taking off from Imam Khomeini International Airport.
On the other hand, the president of UIA, Yevhenii Dykhne, said in a statement on his Facebook page that he never doubted the airline was not to blame in the crash.
“We didn’t doubt for a second that our crew and our plane couldn’t be the cause for this horrible plane crash,” Dykhne said. “These were our best guys and girls. The best.”
On Friday, the head of Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization, Ali Abedzade, ruled out the possibility that the airliner had been shot down by the army and “vehemently” rejected such reports.
“One thing is for certain, this airplane was not hit by a missile,” Abedzadeh said during a press conference in Tehran held in response to earlier remarks by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau saying his government had evidence indicating that the cause of the crash that killed all 176 passengers was a missile strike.
On Saturday, it was also revealed that 57 passengers onboard the aircraft were Canadian nationals, instead of the 63 that had been initially reported. (January 11, 2020, EFE/PracticaEspañol)

Even if you spend a lot of money on a car, it will eventually break down. And if you don’t spend very much, then it’s almost sure to have problems. In either case most mechanics out there will charge a minimum of $50 just to take a look at it, and that usually just involves them plugging in a scanner and then referencing the code. There are some shops out there that might offer to diagnose the problem for free in hopes to gain your business for the more expensive work of fixing it. The problem with the latter is it involves both trusting the shop not to mislead you on what’s wrong and relying on the troubled car to drive to the mechanic with the check engine light on.
What if I told you there was an inexpensive little tool that allows you to perform the meat of the diagnostic at your convenience, it hooks up to your car’s onboard computer, and it fits in your glovebox; would that be something you’re interested in? Enter in the onboard-diagnostics (OBD) reader. The one in particular that I tested out is the MaxiScan MS300 which ran for only $15 on Amazon and is the most highly rated product of its kind.
Keep in mind this isn’t the end-all-solve-all solution for car problems, but every time the check engine light (CEL) comes on, an OBD reader can tell you why. The cheap one that I tested out only gives you the corresponding CEL code that you have to reference yourself, but that is as easy as typing it into Google. Some of the more expensive scanners offer detailed descriptions of the code, assuming that your car make and model is within its information database.
Note that OBD-1 is for vehicles pre-1995 and OBD-2 is for vehicles 1996 and newer.
How to use it
Each OBD reader works generally similar, but there may be a few extra features depending what model you purchase. On the simple one that I bought it just plugs in and then gives you the option to read and scan the codes, or clear the codes completely to forcibly turn off the CEL.
In almost all vehicles there is an OBD port located underneath the steering wheel or near the driver seat. If you’ve ever had emissions testing done this is often the same port that the state inspection plugs into your car.
To use it, just plug in the OBD reader to the port on the car and it should automatically receive power and signal through the port. Then scan for the codes and write them down. Take the codes to Google, do a quick search for them, and then you’ll have a good idea of why the check engine light came on what how to fix it.
For example, in my car I had the engine light come on so I plugged in the little OBD reader. It pulled up code P0130, so I punched it into Google which took me to a forum that talk about that code in the car. It turns out it was due to an oxygen sensor not picking up readings and it just needed to be cleaned or replaced. I tried cleaning it first, and the problem went away. What did it cost me? About $15 for the reader and 15 minutes of my time. That is sure a lot less than a mechanic would have charged!
This was excellent info! Articles like this are the reason I visit gP for info. I know what my next purchase on Amazon will be! :)
This was a hot tip. Thanks. Just bought one on Amazon (the model right above yours) for $22.
Very cool! Gotta love Amazon and Google! LOL — Love the personal experience Austin.


May 15 - Chapman Freeborn Airchartering and Volga-Dnepr Airlines have worked together to deliver a time-critical outsize rotor from Switzerland to Brazil onboard an IL-76TD-90VD aircraft.
The 28-tonne rotor was flown from Zurich to Salvador onboard the aircraft, which was chartered by Chapman Freeborn on behalf of a client in the oil and gas industry. The cargo was needed to keep a key oil facility open, with the plant facing closure until the replacement part could be delivered.
Chapman Freeborn's Sao Paulo office coordinated the operation, which required special exemptions to allow for Customs clearance during the weekend.
Assisted by Chapman Freeborn and Volga-Dnepr's loadmasters, the oversize equipment was loaded into the freighter using a 100-tonne capacity crane that had been hired in especially for the project.

Do you know whether wild animals use herbs, bushes and trees at random to rub their bodies against, or do they choose the these plants in some way?
Different plants have different chemicals in them. They have different tannins and essential oils and other pest repelling chemistry in them.
It would be natural for any creature to be able to recognize and use elements of its environment, which we might call beneficial elements, to protect itself against some other elements that we might call harmful elements.
Using rich ecosystem of roots, fungi, herbs, shrubs, bushes, trees, vines seems very natural way of getting rid of ticks and other parasites. As we know plants have properties that repell certain pests by their smell (which come from the higher content of essential oils), some that cause indegistion, or poison the one who ingests it.
A primary way of survival of any creature, would then be an exelent understanding of its environment and extensive knowledge about the properties of elements within it. To the extent to which such creature knows and understands the innerworkings of its environment, the creature can be more successful in accomplishing its goals in their respective modes od operation.
Therefore an animal would eat certain plants, herbs that act antimicrobial, aid digestion and detoxification processes, provide essential minerals etc.
Such animals would rub their bodies in the herbs, bushes and trees that have certain chemicals in them that repell parasites and other unwanted pests.
This is what humans would have done in the past, before we lost our ability to recognize anything useful in our environment and are increasingly further from understanding how it works.
We've reduced ourselves to a creature limited to gathering resources needed for life only from a shelf in the supermarket.
And I'm not even talking about recognizing the chemical properties of plants. I'm talking about humans not recognizing what is food and what is not at a FOOD at all.
Speaking then of intelligence and true intelligence...

Hundreds of Google employees have signed an open letter urging the company to drop DragonFly, the code name given to its apparent efforts to launch a censored search engine in China.
Published the same day activists staged protests at Google headquarters in several countries, the letter, published Tuesday, takes aim at the company’s little-known yet controversial project that reportedly involves creating a search engine that complies with China’s infamous censorship regime.
“Our opposition to Dragonfly is not about China: we object to technologies that aid the powerful in oppressing the vulnerable, wherever they may be,” Google employees wrote in the letter. “The Chinese government certainly isn’t alone in its readiness to stifle freedom of expression, and to use surveillance to repress dissent. Dragonfly in China would establish a dangerous precedent at a volatile political moment, one that would make it harder for Google to deny other countries similar concessions.”
Google has officially said little about Dragonfly except confirm its existence since reports about the project first surfaced in Aug. 2018. But employees, human rights activists and investigative journalists have said it involves creating a search engine in compliance with China’s strict censorship rules, and chief executive Sundar Pichai will likely be asked about it by lawmakers next week when he makes his public debut on Capitol Hill.
“There is a Dragonfly Project,” Keith Enright, Google’s chief privacy officer, testified during a September hearing before the Senate Commerce Committee. “I am not clear on the contours of what is in scope or out of scope for that project.”
News reports involving Dragonfly have been less vague, however, and The Intercept has cited leaked Google documents to suggest that the project would blacklist sensitive queries and associate users’ searches with their personal phone numbers.
“Dragonfly would also enable censorship and government-directed disinformation, and destabilize the ground truth on which popular deliberation and dissent rely,” Google employees wrote in the open letter. “Given the Chinese government’s reported suppression of dissident voices, such controls would likely be used to silence marginalized people, and favor information that promotes government interests.”
More than 400 employees had signed the open letter as of Wednesday afternoon.
Google previously operated in China, but the company bowed out after being banned in 2010 for refusing to heed the government’s censorship requests. More recently, the annual Freedom of the Net report released by the nonprofit Freedom House organization this month ranked China as the world’s “worst abuse of internet freedom” for the forth year in a row.
“We’ve been investing for many years to help Chinese users, from developing Android, through mobile apps such as Google Translate and Files Go, and our developer tools,” a Google spokesperson told reporters in response to the employees’ letter this week. “But our work on search has been exploratory, and we are not close to launching a search product in China.”
Google employees released the open letter the same day Amnesty International held protests outside company offices in cities including San Francisco, Berlin, Toronto and London, CNet reported.
“We’re calling on Google employees to stand with us,” Amnesty International activist Amy Gordon said during the San Francisco protest, according to the tech site. “We think that Google should be fighting for an internet where information is freely accessible to everyone.”
Mr. Pichai, Google’s CEO since 2015, will testify publicly on Capitol Hill for the first time during a Dec. 5 hearing announced Tuesday by the House Judiciary Committee. The hearing will “examine potential bias and the need for greater transparency regarding the filtering practices of tech giant Google,” the committee said in a statement.
“Google therefore has great influence over what millions of people can and cannot find on the Internet. That comes with a responsibility to its users,” said House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, California Republican.


GAME WRAP: The Boston Celtics  defeated the Orlando Magic  107-88 on Monday night at the TD BankNorth Garden . The Celtics extended their winning streak to nine games behind 24 points from Paul Pierce  and 21 from Ray Allen . Rashard Lewis led all scorers with 30 points while Dwight Howard  posted a quiet 14 points and 15 rebounds. With this win the Celtics improved to 17-2.
– Somewhere there is a Tar Heels fan laughing at the brick J.J. Redick just shot.
– Are you keeping track? Two more technicals have been issued. One on Kevin Garnett , the other against Dwight Howard.
– The interesting thing about this game is that it’s being like there is a two-point differential, yet the Celtics are up by 14 with three minutes to go.
– Before the game Kendrick Perkins  proudly pointed out that he hadn’t been T’ed up in the last few games. He spoke too soon. Perk was called for a technical late in the fourth quarter but a 15+ point lead.
– Lewis is the latest recipient of a technical foul. He kept arguing his point until Turkoglu came over to cool him down.
– The Celtics are moving the ball so well it’s like playing hot potato. Powe to Davis to House in a matter of seconds for an EHouse three.
– Monster dunk from Leon Powe . That’s the kind of stuff I’d expect from Howard.
– Ray Allen and Eddie House  are walking all over the young backcourt duo of Courtney Lee  and J.J. Redick. Lee said the Magic drafted him for his defense but tonight Allen is giving him a crash course on trying to stop one of the best shooters in the league.
– The Celtics held the Magic to just six points in the paint in the third. Howard’s on the bench, will they take advantage of this and continue to attack their own basket?
– Does anyone want to stop Rashard Lewis? Doesn’t seem that way. Lewis has gotten off nearly 20 shots early in the fourth quarter, more than double KG’s stat line.
It’s not really surprising that the Celtics have pushed the lead up considering how undermanned the Magic are. Entering the fourth quarter Paul Pierce leads all scorers with 22 points. Rashard Lewis follows with 20 points. Rajon Rondo  has dished nine assists and Dwight Howard has grabbed 11 rebounds. Now on to the final 12 minutes …
At the start of the fourth … Celtics 77, Magic 65

There were fresh porcini mushrooms at Corti Brothers yesterday! I'd never even seen them before. They're $29.99/lb so I only bought one. It totally changed my dinner plans. I bought some dried porcinis too, grilled the fresh one and made risotto with the beef stock that I had been making for the French onion soup (big cooking day yesterday). Mmmmm...deeelicious! Mild woodsy flavor, firm lovely texture. I tried a sample of the grilled one before adding it to the risotto and that was excellent too. Simple elegant flavor.
I was told that the flavor fades very quickly and these mushrooms arrived at Corti Brothers over the weekend so hurry over if you're interested.

Sympathy or Support: Which Should You be Offering?
Much of society still doesn’t understand addiction. They point fingers, they judge, they discriminate. They spew hateful remarks and label addicts as “worthless” or “failures.” Those people think something like addiction will never happen to them or the people they care about.
Until it does.
Addiction Doesn’t Discriminate
Drug abuse affects people at all levels of society – from the CEO to the stay-at-home mom. However, the deeply rooted stigma against addiction remains. It remains even in the face of scientific evidence proving that addiction is a treatable disease and not simply a character flaw or weakness.
This stigma is one of the most difficult aspects of addiction because it makes it harder for individuals and families to deal with their problems and get the help they need. It causes victims to hang their heads in shame, suffer in silence and internalize the hate it carries.
Too often, it causes addicts to begin accepting the ideas that addiction is their own fault and that maybe they are too weak to do anything about it. This adds to their feelings of low self-worth and perpetuates the cycle.
Uncovering the Real Problem
The fact is, people with addictions already hate their lives and don’t need others putting them down. They don’t need to be criticized or lectured on what they should be doing in life. It only causes the addicted person to feel worse about themselves, which, in turn, fuels them to seek comfort in that good feeling that comes from using. They already know how much they’re screwing up and how much they’re letting their loved ones down.
The problem is that they don’t know how to control it or how to stop.
Facing the Future
Sure, addiction can make people do unspeakable things and behave in ways you would never imagine. But this isn’t because they are inherently bad people; it’s because the drugs have started speaking and acting for them. Simply put; they don’t need your sympathy…they need your support.
Getting rid of the judgment and blame can help addicted loved ones move in a positive direction. It can help them finally face the problems that caused the addiction in the first place and take responsibility for how their behaviors have affected other people.
Finally, offering up no judgement is the best way to help them learn how to cope with the many challenges and imperfections of life…without retreating back into the “safety” of addiction.

SPRINGFIELD — Driscoll coach Jeff Sefcik knew it was going to be a strange day from the minute he left the hotel.
On the way to Lanphier Park, Sefcik, who was driving the van carrying Driscoll's starters, got lost and had to ask a volunteer fireman how to get to the stadium.
The Highlanders finally made it just before the already rain-delayed gametime, then played less than a great game. But they still beat Teutopolis 10-7 in the Class A state baseball quarterfinals to move on to Saturday's semifinal against Rock Island Alleman.
"(The players) did a good job of responding to the situation I put them in," Sefcik joked. "They only had 5 minutes to get loose."
No problem. Catcher Brian Rust said the ride took care of that.
"I think it loosened us up. We were just sitting there laughing," he said.
The Highlanders' bats were on target as usual, pounding out 13 hits, and the pitching was, also as usual, adequate enough to win. But the defense--the part that made the day so strange, from Driscoll's perspective--was as bad as it gets.
"Normally, our defense picks us up, but it let us down today," Sefcik said of his team's three official errors and several more mental ones. "Our hitters came through."
One of those mental mistakes allowed Teutopolis (25-8-1) to score just two batters into the game. Center-fielder Matt Deichl, normally fundamentally sound, broke the wrong way on a leadoff fly by Aaron Goeckner, who later scored.
But Driscoll (31-7) sent nine men to the plate in the bottom half, thanks to two errors that led to four unearned runs. "Without those first-inning jitters, we come away a winner," Wooden Shoes coach Rob Smith said.
Maybe not. Driscoll's bats were good enough to win on their own merit. The Highlanders scored in each of the first four innings, getting six in the first two.
The fourth was also a big inning, with Christian Banach tripling and scoring on Rust's double to start a three-run rally that broke a 7-7 tie. Rust would then have scored on Jeff Aspito's single, but he missed third and was called out.
"How did I do it?" Rust repeated when asked the question. "Stupidity. That's the second time I've done that this year."
Rust, however, was one of the heroes, going 2 for 3 with one run and an RBI. Mike Wisniewski was 2 for 3 with two RBIs, Banach 2 for 4 and Jeff Aspito 3 for 4. The big bats--Jason Aspito (2 for 5) and Deichl (0 for 4)--were mostly silent.
Scott Thede (8-1) relieved Sterling Shore (two innings, five runs) and looked shaky at first but settled down and pitched the rest of the way for the win. Teutopolis starter Todd Schmidt took the loss.
"We didn't play our game today," Sefcik said. "If we do, it's not going to be this close."

Listen to a lovely rendition of this traditional German round, starting with one singer and adding voices. All accomplished musicians, seemingly:
I cannot resist singing along.
One of these five keys shown here is sure to be right for your singers!
Originally, this traditional song is from Germany
Himmel und Erde mussen vergeh'n,
Aber die Musici,
aber die Musici,
aber die Musici bleiben besteh'n.
The keys of C, F, or G will be easiest for your beginner pianists/ musicians to play, probably. One reason I try to provide rounds in a key with no black keys, such as C or Am, is just to make it easier for singers (notoriously inept at note-reading, IN GENERAL) to pick out their part.
This beautiful song book for piano & voice "Esther, For Such a Time as This", available as a digital download, tells the riveting story of the time when Jews in ancient Persia faced a foe named Haman, and how a brave young queen risked her life to save her people.
A good choice for a singing story-teller, an operatic group, a short theater production, or a class of children!
This is the perfect easy start for little pianists.
And when they start reading white-key notes on the staff, this is a fun easy resource to say each week, "Choose a new black-key song at home this week and figure it out to show me next lesson!" They will be spending more time at the piano.

Wildfires, extreme storms and major weather events can seem like a distant threat, but for those whose lives have been directly impacted by these events, the threat hits much closer to home.
Air pollution trapped along the Wasatch Front by winter inversions are estimated to send more than 200 people to the emergency room with pneumonia each year, according to a study by University of Utah Health and Intermountain Healthcare. Bad air quality especially erodes the health of adults over age 65, a population particularly vulnerable to the effects of pneumonia.
Working memory is a sort of “mental sketchpad” that allows you to accomplish everyday tasks such as calling in your hungry family’s takeout order and finding the bathroom you were just told “will be the third door on the right after you walk straight down that hallway and make your first left.” It also allows your mind to go from merely responding to your environment to consciously asserting your agenda.

Numerous decisions of the Supreme Court of Virginia have pronounced thatthe Workers’ Compensation Act is remedial legislation which is entitled to aliberal interpretation in favor of claimants. In recent years, lawyers forclaimants have wondered whether the courts now view this pronouncement as emptyrhetoric. Occasionally, however, a decision shows that at least some judgesstill “get it.” Such is the case with Alexandria City PublicSchools v. Handel, 70 Va. App. 349 (2019).
As we have explained before, under the “actual risk” doctrinethe employment must expose the employee to a heightened risk of the activitythat causes the injury. Given this principle, a claimant’s entitlement to anaward often turns on what the claimant was doing at the time of injury. Overthe years, two irreconcilable lines of analysis have arisen in this area.
In Grove v. AlliedSignal, Inc., 15 Va. App. 17 (1992), the Court of Appeals stated asfollows: “That the activity was usual, and did not require exertion,and that the injury was not ‘foreseen or expected’ are irrelevant.”(Emphasis added.)
Notwithstanding Grove, it is common to see the Commission and theCourt of Appeals rely on a pre-Grove opinion to assert as follows:”[A]n injury arises out of the employment when the conditions of theworkplace or a significant work-related exertion cause the injury.”Brinkley v. Dyn-Dynatran East, VWC File No. VA02000017345 (Mar. 1, 2017)(emphasis added) (citing Plumb Rite Plumbing Serv. v. Barbour, 8 Va.App. 482 (1989)).
The Court of Appeals’decision in Handel may resolve the impasse described above. A sectionentitled “Usual exertions” includes these statements:
The Supreme Court addressed the question of whether aninjury that was sustained during the performance of ordinary job duties, ratherthan as a result of an unusual event or exertion, would be compensable as an“injury by accident” in Virginia Electric & Power Co. v. Quann, 197Va. 9, 12 (1955). In Quann, the Court held that “when usual exertionresults in actually breaking, herniating, or letting go with an obvious suddenmechanical or structural change in the body, whether external or internal, theinjury is accidental.” Id. The Court reaffirmed this principle in VirginiaElectric & Power Co. v. Cogbill, 223 Va. 354, 356 (1982) (emphasisadded), when it held that in order for injuries resulting from ordinaryexertion to be compensable as an injury by accident, the claimant mustprove that it resulted in “an obvious sudden mechanical or structural change inthe body.”
. . . Thepurpose of the test is to allow a claimant to demonstrate that her injuries areaccidental, even in the absence of an obvious accident.
(Emphasis in original.)
Handel could go far in resolving the usual-versus-significant exertionquestion in claimants’ favor. However, the defendants in Handel havefiled a petition for appeal with the Supreme Court of Virginia. We will keepreaders apprised of developments.

Never let it be said that Rufus Wainwright takes the more commercially palatable path. The man whose last album was a re-recording of his (rather tepidly received) opera Prima Donna is back and he’s gone all theatrical again. To celebrate Shakespeare’s 400th birthday – this album is released the day before the official anniversary – Wainwright has revisited an idea he dipped into for his All Days Are Nights: Songs For Lulu, and based an entire album on the sonnets of the Bard.
For Take All My Loves, Wainwright has teamed up again with Marius De Vries, with whom he collaborated on what remain his finest albums, Want One and Two. This will gladden the hearts of long-term fans, but they should prepare themselves for the fact that Wainwright’s lilting croon isn’t heard all that much. Instead, he’s gathered together a stellar guestlist from both the music and acting world and, in most cases, gives them the limelight instead.
As those who remember Sting‘s somewhat misguided adventures with a lute will recognise, it’s always tricky when contemporary artists take inspiration from the long-ago past. However, despite swinging close to teeth-grinding pretentiousness at times, Take All My Loves does work – just about. The format is a simple but effective one – a spoken word section with lush orchestral backing where an actor – such as frequent Wainwright guest Sian Phillips – recites Shakespeare’s words, followed by the same sonnet set to music and, usually, sung by a guest vocalist.
The Austrian soprano Anna Prohaska features most frequently on the album, kicking off proceedings with When Most I Wink (a musical version of Sonnet 43) – as impressive as her vocals are though, it’s somewhat of a dirge, and becomes a bit of a chore to sit through. Thankfully, she fares far better with A Woman’s Face (Sonnet 20) which is the most haunting and beautiful moment on the album (and also reprised rather wonderfully by Wainwright himself towards the end of the record). Famously the sonnet which raised most questions about Shakespeare’s sexuality, it’s clear to see why it’s so close to Wainwright’s heart, and it’s on tracks like this that the magic of Want is most easily recreated. It also sits far better here than on All Days Are Night.
There’s an awful lot of classical/pop crossover on Take All My Loves, which might not be to everyone’s tastes. The more conventional, ‘rocky’ side of Wainwright is well expressed on Unperfect Actor, a sweeping stomper featuring an opening monologue by Helena Bonham-Carter and backing vocals by his sister Martha. Florence Welch (described by Wainwright as a “Shakespearean character in high heels”) leaves her Machine behind to take lead vocals on When In Disgrace WIth Fortune And Men’s Eyes (Sonnet 29) and sounds surprisingly perfect for a Wainwright album: for once, she leaves the bombast behind and sounds devastatingly pretty on what is probably the album’s most dreamy moment.
There are a few moments that will raise eyebrows – William Shatner is among the names reading the sonnets, and it’s impossible to hear his voice without remembering his infamously disastrous rendition of Mr Tambourine Man, while Carrie Fisher, conversely, fares surprisingly well reading Sonnet 29. There are also times when Wainwright’s laudable ambition falls a bit flat: you can’t imagine anyone else even attempting a Kurt Weill-style eight minute long song sung entirely in German, but that’s what he does on All Dessen Müd. It’s entertaining enough, but far too long, and even die-hard Wainwright acolytes will find themselves checking the time before it’s done.
Take All My Loves will certainly leave a fair few people cold, and you get the impression that this will be a specialist listen for most, as was no doubt the intention. It’s certainly a labour of love for Wainwright, and there aren’t too many people as adept at mixing classical elements with baroque pop, even if at times the entire enterprise seems perilously close to falling on its face. Even during its more ludicrous moments, though, it’s impossible to deny the beauty that often shines through.

Where do I begin? There’s been so many! I love bittersweet anime. It’s definitely one of my favorite genre. I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve so it never takes much an anime to get to me. Give me all the feels and give me all the tears. There’s one anime that really brought on the feels and tears for me: Plastic Memories.
I wrote a Saturday Suggestion post on Plastic Memories last January:
Enter a future world where humanoid robots called Giftia have memories, human tendencies, and emotions. Special task forces are meant to retrieve them before their lifespan of 9 years and 4 months is over. Once a Giftia’s life expires, they lose their memories and become violent, losing their “human-like” levels of strength and speed, rendering them almost impossible to stop.
Our main characters are paired as Marksman (Giftia) and Spotter (human) in a small task force to recover these expiring Giftia. Tsukasa is an 18-year-old human boy who had no idea what kind of job he was taking on after his interview. He is paired with Isla, a veteran Giftia. Together, they must recover Giftias whose lives are about to expire before they lose their memories. There’s a problem though… Tsukasa has fallen for Isla, but how much time does Isla have left with her lifespan steadily ticking away?
Plastic memories is a beautiful slice of life anime that centers around a humanoid robot with emotions and feelings, much like Chobits. The short series centers around the two main characters Tsukasa and Isla. I felt so much sympathy and empathy for them both during the anime. It didn’t take me long to start rooting for the two of them.
The main draw for me was how closely this anime resembled Chobits while still being original. I love the mix of Sci-Fi and bittersweet romance. This short anime is simply a masterpiece that broke my heart and destroyed my emotions. You need to get your ticket for Plastic Memories and get aboard the feels trip you didn’t know you needed.

Thank you for you very long service (over 50 years in fact) to motoring and motorsport.
Yes they were halcyon days when with mighty Kent powered Formula Ford was the world’s development formula for single seater racing.
I know from behind you lovely mahogany desk all may still look well in the factory but the world has moved on.
Yes yes we are only 10 years behind the rest of the motorsport world in recognising the need for change but we need to hand over the gold watch and offer you a generous retirement plan. Don’t worry you will still get plenty of Sunday outings.
Fathers funding aspiring sons into this formula will no longer shake in wonder at the cost of building a top running 50 year old powerplant. In a formula where every hp counts.
Apart from a new engine package the class needs money to run a competition worth of national championship status. A smart operator would say the two must go hand in hand.
Tea and scones for Mr. Kent next Friday at 3pm
see you all there

The Magnum is an unlockable firearm with a 6-round cylinder and a relatively slow fire rate. The bullets can go through multiple targets (there's no limit to the amount of lined up enemies that can be killed with a single bullet), however the slow rate of fire and single projectile leaves little room for mistakes. It's best utilized by locking onto single targets prior to firing, or killing enemies patrolling in lines.
In Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, it is first seen in Final Cut being dual-wielded by the SWAT Chief, but they cannot be used by the Pig Butcher. Magnums appear during several cutscenes, but are unusable until Release, where they are held by security guards and prisoners. The security guards in Blood Money also use magnums. The magnum is also useable against one boss in Apocalypse.
Manny Pardo is shown to carry a Magnum in his trench coat, which he apparently actively avoids using in all cases outside Death Wish. The Son's hallucinatory sequence replaces his Death Wish Magnum with a fireaxe.
The Magnum has a 6 round cylinder, slow rate of fire and a unique ability to pierce multiple enemies, which makes it useful against lines of enemies, it is best to try to line up enemies to make the most use out of this ability.
In Hotline Miami, The Magnum must be unlocked and can only be found at weapon spawns, making it a fairly rare weapon, in Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, it is now carried by Guards and Prisoners, making it somewhat more common than in the first game.
- The Magnum appears to be based on the Smith and Wesson M29 made famous by the 1971 film, Dirty Harry, starring Clint Eastwood.
- The Club Owner has a magnum under his desk.
- The Magnum is based on the Colt Python in the Weapon Unlock Menu.
- This maybe a reference to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, that also had a Colt Python revolver, in a 1980's Miami Setting.
- This weapon is not affected by the Rami Mask's powerup.
- Compared to the first game, Wrong Number's Magnum is slightly inaccurate, meaning that you can miss your target, even if your crosshair was right on them. This was most likely done to prevent the player from sniping with it.
- The Magnum's game sprite would be also another Smith & Wesson revolver model like the S&W model 19 or its stainless-steel version, the Model 66, Chambered for .357 Magnum (The S&W 29 is chambered for .44 Magnum).
- It's possible that every Fan except Mark was killed by a magnum shot. Four of them are explicitly depicted as being killed with the magnum, but Apocalypse depicts Alex and Ash's death again with a fireaxe.
- In Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, The Magnum is the only one handed weapon that is held the right way up, as all other one handed weapons are held sideways (in the first Hotline Miami the Skorpion and Silenced Pistol are also held the right way up).

Tuesday, September 4, 2012
Cal: Stumbled across your web site and thought I would impose on your knowledge. First, what do you think of the SIACE double rifles. I am 6'4" and left handed so their ability to custom stock is intriguing. Second, looking at the 450/400 3" for buffalo and lion. Any thoughts? Thanks for your time, Frank, USA Frank: At 6’4” you will need a stock pull of an inch or more that standard stock dimensions--I’d say 15 1/2” give or take a little. The SIACE doubles have some good reports that have come my way. The custom stock is a definite plus for someone of your stature. The .450-400 3-inch, nitro express (either the standard 60-grain charge of cordite or the tropical load of 55 grains, both with .400-grain bullets) was the most popular double rifle cartridge for all around hunting in Africa and India until the .375 H&H belted magnum came along. You can’t go wrong with it! And, now that Hornady is loading ammunition shooting a double is even more easy! Lion and buffalo should be no problem with correct bullet placement. Good shooting, Cal Cal: I hope you don't mind if I try to pick your brain a bit. I have hunted Africa before but always with modern weapons. I am planning on a trip in a few months. I would like to get your recommendations for black powder rifles-single or double for plains game. Do you have anything suitable for sale? I would really appreciate your comments and recommendations. Thank you very much. Steve N. Tennessee, USA Steve: Thanks for your e-mail. It just so happens I have a .450 black powder express for sale at present. But we can talk about that later. As to black powder express doubles and singles, there were (are) four good choices for you to consider: the .450-400 3 1/4”, the .450, the .500 3’ or 3 1/4”, and the .577 in 2 3/4”, 3”, or 3 1/4”. There is absolutely nothing negative to write about any of them and your choice would be the game you are to hunt. For plains game the longer of the two .500s and the .577s are all for large soft-skin game. The .500 3” (with a 340- or 380-grain bullet was most commonly found in India whilst the .450 3 1/4” was commonly found in Africa. The .450-400 was for lighter game and could also be had with a short case of 2 2/3”. Either the .450 or 500 would suit your needs well. Remember, as much as we all like the nostalgia of shooting a vintage double, black powder can’t be carried in any way-shape-or form on any commercial airline. If you want to charge your rifle with charcoal, you will need to have your PH lay in a supply from a shooter’s supply store in South AFrica and you will need to bring your bullets, wads, cases, and dies with you. (Your PH will also need to supply the primers and reloading press--probably not worth the hassle). I would suggest the following formula: 40% of the charge of black powder using IMR 4198 with a square to toilet tissue to hold the powder against the primer and a bullet of the correct diameter and weight. This, give or take a grain or two, will regulate in said doubles. In singles, of course, we don’t have to worry about regulation, just elevation. Send me an e-mail and I will reply with specs of my .450 (I also have a 12-bore oval bore ball and shot gun, a 10-gauge shotgun [on an 8-gauge frame], and a fine 8-bore for sale, along with two Winchesters (yes, they have single barrels]). If you like any or all of them, feel free to hop on a plane and come join a few double rifle guys in AK for a summer’s shoot at my cabin. Good shooting, Cal Hi Cal: First thank you for your writings and insight to doubles, I look forward to each edition of African Hunter! My question: I recently purchased a Sabatti in 450/400. Simply a beautiful gun. The test target shows right and left barrels touching at 50 meters, and the reason I asked Cabelas' to ship that rifle to store near me. The best I can produce with open sights, a quality scope and Delta sight is about 2.0 in group with the left barrel 1.5 above the right barrel and .50 inches left. I'm testing from a lead sled to reduce shooting errors and open sight produce a slightly larger group ( old eyes) however both scopes were constant. So my question is: Is it unreasonable for me to ask Cabelas' to fix or repair the gun? And if yes, they how do they regulate the barrel's without grinding the rifling? Cal: Thanks for the quick reply! I'm excited about my rifle and the local ( Texas) pigs are unhappy! FYI, I'll be in your state on May 8, in King Salmon, hunting with Tracy at Blue Mountain lodge, my 3rd brown hunt, hopefully I'll find the 10 footer! I was hoping to take the 450/400 but the terrain may warrant a longer shot, so its the 375, again!! Keep writing, I enjoy your work! Maybe I can shake your hand at the Dallas Safari show next year. Good Hunting. Scott O. USA Hi Scott: I If you are getting 2" groups that is as good as it gets. Even Holland will ship a rifle with 2" groups at 50 yards. Try adjusting the load a bit with a grain or two of powder up or down and try + or - .001" in bullet diameter. To change the regulation, the solder that holds the barrels together is softened and the barrels are adjusted a bit, the solder allowed to harden, and a target shot. Repeated over and over if required. On an additional note. If you are shooting over a lead sled that may change the recoil characteristics and thereby the target grouping. Doubles are best shot when the rifle can recoil in a natural way. That is why the regulators use a standing rest. (A seated rest is ok if the barrel is held by the forward hand but seated rests may be difficult with heavy recoiling rifles). Try a rest that will give you the hold you would use in off hand shooting. Always rest the forward hand on the rest, don’t lay the barrels over the rest, and allow the rifle to recoil in a natural way. Your group may change for the better. Use the lead sled as a plant holder or reserve its use for single barrel rifles. Sounds like you have a nice rifle. Good shooting to you, Cal Hello Cal : I am intending to put together a 600 NE on a falling block action and wondered if you could give me some advice please on barrel profile? I’m intending to use a Pac Nor barrel. Would a 3-groove be better than a 9-groove? Should I use the 1 in 20 twist ? There are (as far as I know) two WR model 97,600 barreled actions [repro] for sale here in Australia for $5500.00 each. Any other advice on weight of complete rifle, etc.? Thank you Kieran Qld Australia Kieran: Sounds like you have a good project at hand. I just purchased a single barrel .600 (W.J. Jeffery, 1916) but have limited use and/or knowledge of singles. The rifles weighs 12 pounds and is too light for any full-house .600 NE load. Yes, one can load the .600 down but if that is to be done, why not get a .450 in the first place? (I don’t understand the mentality of investing in a big rifle and shoot it like a smaller rifle). The rifling twist of 1:20 sounds about right. As to profile I would suggest profiling the barrel as to the intended weight rather than having a too-light rifle for the recoil. A double .600’s weight averages about 15 pounds, maybe up to 16, and that is tolerable. The lightest .600 I have found in my research is 10 pounds and 9 ounces! Ouch! Good shooting, Cal The following double rifle terms I was asked to define from a few different readers. Without going into each question, here they are: articulated front trigger The front trigger is hinged so it can move a bit forward to avoid injuring the trigger finger, whilst firing the rear trigger, during recoil. bar action On a sidelock action, the mainspring is located in a forward position into the action’s bar (the bar is the portion of the action ahead of the breech face that supports the hinge pin--that the barrel flats mate to). A back action has the mainspring towards the rear of the action. tell if a double has extractors or ejectors The mechanism that removes the cartridges from the chamber: if solid is an extractor gun or rifle (both fired and unfired shells lifted about 3/8” from the breech for easy removal). If split in half, then an ejector rifle or shotgun as the unfired shell(s) will be extracted and the fired shell(s) will be ejected from the breech. Greener safety and cross bolt The Greener safety is mounted on the left side of the stock, behind the action, and moves front to back to engage or disengage the safety. The cross bolt is a steel bolt parallel to the breech face that is operated by the top lever and passes though a hole in the rib extension to give added strength to the lock up of the action. tear drops Also known as “drop points” teardrops are wood figures just behind the side plates of a side lock and also used on some best quality box locks behind the wood side panels. vacant oval Basically the name plate escutcheon on the butt stock just ahead of (of just behind) the sling swivel/sling eye. Used for engraving the initials of the (original) owner of the rifle or shotgun. hinge pin Mounted on the front of the action bar, the hinge pin accepts the barrel’s hook to allow a break open gun’s barrels to revolve open or close. If the hinge pin becomes worn the barrels will “come off face” and not lock up tight upon closing. side clips Small beveled edges of the breech face that are mated to beveled surfaces on the sides of the breech ends of the barrel. This is to prevent side-to-side movement upon firing.

Storm Damage August 10th
"My kid woke me up saying that it was dark as if it were night time,” says a resident of Union.
A severe stormed rolled through central Iowa today. Le Grand reported winds to the National Weather Service over 106 MPH, taking down trees and power lines alike, causing devastating damage.
"I sat and watched as my neighbor’s shed flew past my apartment," another resident of Union said.
Alliant Energy stated today that Eldora, Owasa, Hubbard, Radcliffe, Union, Liscomb, Steamboat Rock, and New Providence will be without power until tomorrow at least, due to a transmission outage. Alliant also stated that Ames could be out of power for a few hours to a few days.


Blame It on Age: Bill Frisell's Latest LP 'Guitar in the Space Age' Misses Mark, Lacks Impact
Bill Frisell's latest disc, Guitar in the Space Age, has not landed easily on some listeners. As David Graham at The Atlantic reports, the function of the album departs from being "complicated enough" and, instead, stays a little more stationary.
Rehashing some old hits that Frisell recounts from his childhood or as "naive melodies" the LP does not seem to deliver, according to some. But talking about himself and where he has come, Frisell was quoted saying, "As I get older, I'm becoming more and more comfortable with the idea of playing something that was a part of my life."
He continued, "Some naive melody or childhood memory that I once would have thought wasn't complicated enough."
The 63-year-old guitarist is known as a leading jazz guitar aficionado in the modern world, but is his latest disc real jazz? For years, the guitarist has been experimenting with non-jazz textures, bringing together an amalgam of country folk-jazz.
What he has churned out since has been generally well-received, and the All We Are Saying LP was a solid album of slick Lennon covers.
But like Graham notes, what is the point of it? It is not anything spectacular, but it is also a joy to listen to.
Wherever Frisell exists in this middleground he has carved out for himself is unknown, but his unenthusiastic guitar album might not have the impact he was going for. Yes, it is a comfortable place to be, but what good has come from anyone who is comfortable?

BOGALUSA, La. -- An armed robbery victim is suing Circle K for failing to deter crime over a shooting that took place Dec. 20, 2009, at its convenience store in Bogalusa, La., The Louisiana Record reported.
April Dawn Kelley -- individually and on behalf of her three minor children, and Jacklyn Alyse Hickman -- claims she was shot while standing at the checkout counter by an unidentified man who came in through a front door. She said her children witnessed the shooting from outside.
The assailant robbed the store. Kelley’s oldest child attempted to pursue the assailant while in her vehicle, but he pointed a gun at her. According to the lawsuit, the assailant was not caught.
In the suit, Circle K is accused of negligence for failing to: maintain the premises in a reasonably safe condition; inspect the premises to protect customers from dangerous conditions; maintain internal security measures; and take steps necessary to deter crime.
Kelley claims the store has been the site of multiple prior armed robberies and crimes.
