Introduction Hand osteoarthritis (HOA) is a highly prevalent disabling joint disease. The current management regimens are limited. Potentially as a consequence, many people turn to complementary and alternative medicines for symptomatic relief. A combination of two or more supplements is common in clinical practice; however, evidence for the efficacy of this approach is lacking. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of a supplement combination for treating symptomatic HOA in comparison to placebo.
Methods and analysis The RADIANT study is an internet-based, parallel, superiority, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised, two-arm clinical trial. A participatory design is used to facilitate the study procedures. One hundred and six participants aged over 40 years with painful HOA and structural change on X-ray (Kellgren and Lawrence grade (KLG) ≥2) will be recruited from the community and randomly allocated to receive either a supplement combination composed of: (1) combined supplement containing Boswellia serrata extract, pine bark extract and methylsulfonylmethane and (2) curcumin or placebo for 12 weeks. The primary outcome will be 12-week change in hand pain on a visual analogue scale (VAS). Main secondary outcomes include adverse events, change in hand function, patient global assessment of disease activity and quality of life. A range of additional measures will be recorded, and an individual patient placebo response will be performed. The primary analysis will be conducted using an intention-to-treat approach. Adverse events will be monitored weekly throughout the study.
Ethics and dissemination This protocol has been approved by the University of Sydney Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC No. 2018/766). Dissemination will occur through conferences, social media, scientific publications and PhD thesis.

Jerry Lewis, the man who delighted audiences in films such as The Nutty Professor and raised billions of dollars through his MDA Telethon, died on Sunday, August 20 at the age of 91.
The legendary comedian passed away at his home in Las Vegas after a brief illness according to his publicist.
Lewis rose to fame in his 20’s when he teamed with entertainer Dean Martin for thousands of live performances and 16 movies over a ten year period in the 1940’s and 50’s.
Following the duo’s split, he signed a solo deal with Paramount Pictures that saw him, not only star in but produce and direct comedies such as The Bellboy, The Ladies Man and the previously mentioned Nutty Professor, which was the biggest hit of his career.
Other notable works included Martin Scorsese’s The King of Comedy, Billy Crystal’s Mr. Saturday Night, and Max Rose — one of his final films which screened at the Cannes Film Festival in 2013.
Known for his physical brand of humor, Lewis was an inspiration for countless comedians who followed in his footsteps including Jim Carrey. The Ace Ventura star called Lewis an “undeniable genius” in a tweet on Sunday.
That fool was no dummy. Jerry Lewis was an undeniable genius an unfathomable blessing, comedy’s absolute! I am because he was! ;^D pic.twitter.com/3Zdq9xhXlE
— Jim Carrey (@JimCarrey) August 20, 2017
Comics young and old echoed Carrey’s sentiments sending love to the fallen icon on Twitter. Among them: Cedric the Entertainer, Dane Cook, Carl Reiner, and Carol Burnett, who phoned into CNN to share her thoughts on Lewis’ legacy.
“He provided belly laughs…he just had that spark of genius,” says actress Carol Burnett of Jerry Lewis https://t.co/1aK5FT8wJa

MDA Labor Day Telethon
Lewis served as a national chairman and spokesman for the Muscular Dystrophy Association for half a century and hosted The Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon from 1966 until 2010. The annual event has raised over $2.6 billion for the organization.
Whoopi Goldberg, Larry King, Ellen DeGeneres, and Jimmy Kimmel were among the celebrities recognizing Lewis’ philanthropic work.

Lewis was married twice and had six children. He is survived by second wife, SanDee Pitnick.

And the Roger Clemens saga continues. The Rocket – and won’t that nickname take on a different meaning now – has been linked to country-star-turned-train-wreck Mindy McCready. No big whoop you say…until you find out they met when he was 28 and she was 15!
Good old Rusty Hardin came out with a very Clintonesque rebuttal from the NY Daily News:
“He flatly denies having had any kind of an inappropriate relationship with her,” Hardin said. “He’s considered her a close family friend. … He has never had a sexual relationship with her.”
And check out Rog’s game from back in the day. Big hit with the ladies…girls:
According to sources, Clemens was with his Red Sox teammates in a Fort Myers, Fla., bar when then-teenager McCready caught his eye. After Clemens threw
a shirt with his and several teammates’ signatures onstage, an introduction was made.
“It was love at first sight, no doubt about it,” said a source with intimate knowledge of the relationship.
Young love, it just brings a tear to my eye.

We have been so crazy busy around here it's sickening! And I don't know where summer is going. I haven't been able to scrap much this past week, but I've been working like a mad woman on quilts. Yes...that was plural. :)
Our nephew is getting baptized in a couple of weeks and Eric is going to be one of his god-parents. Eric wanted me to make Colin a John Deere tractor quilt so I've been working on that and in doing so, Blake kept 'stealing' the fabric and running around the house saying "mow mow" - "mow mow" is code for tractor. So Eric said "You know you should probably make Blake one too!" So in the past week I've gotten two quilt tops done and Blake's is pinned with the backing and I just need to finish it. I think Blake is excited about it though so it makes it fun for me!
Blake is now starting to try say more and more words and I can't believe how fast he's growing up...
1 - Ma Ma
2 - Da Da
3 - Dish means Fish
4 - Doosh means Shoes
5 - Mow Mow means Tractor
6 - Turtle
7 - Bear
8 - Ball
And I'm know there's more - I just can't think of them right now. Well hopefully soon I'll post pics of the quilts...they've been fun, but its stressful when I've got deadlines coming up!
Hope everyone's enjoying summer!

The South Africa Tourism, organisers of Africa’s Travel Indaba expo, said no fewer than 47 countries across the globe will be attending the 2022 edition of the expo.
The acting Chief Executive Officer, South African Tourism, Themba Khumalo, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday in Lagos.
Khumalo said that the expo had returned after a two-year pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
He said the expo slated for May 2 to May 5, in the city of Durban, South Africa, would have delegates from Botswana, Germany, Netherlands and Switzerland, among others.
“To date, there are currently over 400 African exhibitors and 454 buyers, from 47 countries around the world confirmed to attend Africa’s Travel Indaba 2022 and ready to do business.
“These countries include South Africa, Botswana, Nigeria, Ghana, Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands, to name a few.
“Africa’sTravel Indaba is set to bring much needed economic injection into the city of Durban and the Kwa Zulu-Natal (KZN) province at large, as international delegates will be hosted,” he said.
Khumalo noted that the last edition of the expo in 2019 attracted about 6,200 delegates across the world with 1,033 exhibiting businesses from 19 countries on the continent.
Khumalo noted that South Africa was ready to welcome delegates from across the world to connect and do business contributing to the African continent’s tourism sector recovery.
He said the theme of the expo “Africa’s Stories, Your Success”, reaffirmed the fact that Africa was reclaiming its own narrative and was ready to share with the world inspiring stories of resilience shown throughout the pandemic.
Khumalo invited players in the tourism industry, local, regional and international to come and attend Africa’s Travel Indaba.
He emphasised that Africa’s Travel Indaba is an African trade show specifically tailored to advancing the continent’s tourism sector needs, with a clear outlook towards recovery.
Khumalo noted that with travellers from across the world seeking new experiences, Africa’s Travel Indaba continued its commitment to empowering small and lesser known businesses in the tourism sector.
“We believe that this platform will showcase authentic African experiences and products. Buyers from across the globe will have access to only the best and uniquely African products and experiences.
“KZN, the host province for Africa’s Travel Indaba, is ready to once again welcome the continent and the world to its shores,” she said.
Pinky Radebe, KZN, Senior Manager, Public Relations and Communications, said as hosts, the organisation would go all out at the year’s Africa’s Travel Indaba to reposition KZN to its global markets.
Radebe said this would highlight key tourism developments that had emerged in the province in the past two years.
“Africa’s Travel Indaba will be a phenomenal springboard to relaunch KZN back to the global arena to start regaining the international travel markets back to the province.
“This is an opportunity to showcase the destination’s hosting capabilities and hospitality.
“We will also offer buyers a first-hand experience through pre and post tours, reinforcing the destination brand in the minds of the participants,” she said.
Amanda Kotze-Nhlapo, Chief Convention Bureau Officer, South Africa National Convention Bureau, said that there was a lot to look forward to at the year’s Africa’s Travel Indaba.
“As always, the programme for Africa’s Travel Indaba is packed with opportunities to ensure that both our exhibitors and buyers extract maximum value from the trade show.
“Our internationally benchmarked diary system that pairs global vetted buyers with quality exhibitors will ensure seamless booking of meetings, ahead of the show,” he said. (NAN)

October 24, 2016; Washington Post
The nation’s collective blood pressure appeared to rise on Monday when federal officials announced that premiums for health care plans sold through HealthCare.gov would increase by an average of 25 percent in 2017. Critics have pointed to these increases—and the withdrawal of some major insurers from marketplaces—as proof of the failure of the Affordable Care Act, with Republican opponents renewing calls for the law’s repeal and replacement. House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) called the rate rise unacceptable “sticker shock” and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump leapt upon the news, saying that Obamacare was “blowing up.” Either Trump, or his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, who has spoken previously of the ACA’s affordability issues, will carry the burden of stabilizing the healthcare market over the next four years.
Defending the increases, Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell said that insurers were still adapting to competing for customers through price and quality, rather than denying care for people with existing medical conditions. She blamed the Republican-led Congress for undermining the ACA and blocking money that would have mitigated insurers’ increased customer costs.

Some media also came to the defense of Obamacare, criticizing headlines they said were out of context and misleading. In addition to the premium costs, subsidies were also increasing, ThinkProgress pointed out, with the Obama administration anticipating that over 70 percent of those eligible would be able to find a marketplace plan for less than $75 a month. Additionally, only a small fraction of Americans would be affected by the premium increases; six percent of Americans purchase insurance plans from ACA marketplaces.
An article on Vox by Sarah Kliff outlined the ups and downs of Obamacare, where it excelled and where it fell short of what was originally envisioned by its architects. She also emphasized that even with the premium spikes, the majority of marketplace consumers were eligible for subsidies that would ensure their plans were affordable.
Understanding how health insurance works under the ACA also seems to be playing a role in stoking anxiety around the rate increases. Mother Jones shared tweets from a health care advocate in New Mexico who had been fielding calls from panicked health insurance customers on the day the increases were announced. Colin Baillio tweeted, “Every person I talked to was shielded by subsidies or on [an] employer plan,” adding the hashtag #headlinesmatter.—Melinda Crosby

The absolute best gluten-free key lime pie beats out all other recipes in taste, affordability, and ease! This effortless recipe will bring you back to Key West with a traditional creamy tangy lime pie with sour cream and easy substitution for graham cracker crust!
Best recipe for gluten-free key lime pie
There are many ways to make a “classic” key lime pie – egg yolks or no eggs, baked or no bake, sweetened condensed milk, sour cream – it’s tough to decide which recipe will taste the best!
I’ve done the baking and taste tests, and I’m happy to share the winning gluten-free recipe for key lime pie! As exemplified in my gluten free cookbook, I love to focus on affordable ways to enjoy gluten free pies without sacrificing taste, and this recipe absolutely hits the mark!
The extra creamy filling has a perfectly balanced flavor with sweetened condensed milk adding sweetness and a touch of sour cream balancing the lime’s citrus. Plus, filling sets flawlessly every time without having to use eggs for a binder!
Instead gluten-free key lime pie recipe uses a simple trick of leaving the pie in the oven after it bakes. This helps the pie cool gradually, preventing a cracked top, and also takes out the guesswork of knowing if the pie is underbaked.
Lastly, recipe for lime pie uses a delicious and affordable alternative to a gluten-free graham cracker crust. An easy, press-in gluten-free oatmeal crust holds together beautifully and provides a great texture for the filling.
Let’s learn how to make gluten-free key lime pie, along with gluten-free crust alternatives, the best limes to use, and many more pro tips to make this recipe a success!
Are Key Lime Pies gluten-free?
If you are wondering if all key lime pies are a safe gluten-free dessert to enjoy, the answer is no. Most key lime pies are made with a traditional graham cracker crust, which contain a type of whole wheat flour called graham flour.
Another option is to use a gluten-free crust alternative, such as the oat crust recipe provided here, using an almond flour crust, or more GF crust options shown below. Lastly, you can forgo the crust altogether and make a crustless key lime pie.
Below I share gluten-free pie crust alternatives, but I’m particularly in love with this oat crust, especially paired with an authentic Key West pie filling!
- Oatmeal – Use certified gluten free oats
- Powdered sugar
Key Lime Filling:
- Key lime juice – Alternatively, use regular lime juice or Nellie and Joe’s Key Lime juice to save time.
- Sweetened condensed milk – Gives a sweet thickness to the pie
- Lime zest – Key to best lime flavor!
- Sour cream – Cuts sweetness and bulks up the creaminess
Homemade Whipped Cream:
This is optional for the topping. Either spread it over the pie or serve alongside it. Alternatively, you may use store-bought whipped cream or dust with powdered sugar.
- Heavy cream
- Powdered sugar
- Vanilla extract
How to make gluten free key lime pie recipe
(Note: This is a step-by-step tutorial with pictures. For more specific instructions, along with ingredient amounts, see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.)
- First prepared the pie crust. Place all the crust ingredients in a food processor and blend until well combined. Press firmly in a pie dish and bake for 18 minutes. Cool completely before filling.
- While the crust is cooling, prepare the filling. Whisk together the lime juice, zest, sweetened condensed milk, and sour cream. Pour into the crust.
- Bake for 10 minutes then turn off oven and leave in for 30 minutes. This helps set the pie without cracking.
- After the pie has cooled and been chilled, beat together the whipped cream and spread on pie.
alternative crust options
Traditional key lime pie uses a graham cracker crumbs, which is the only part of the pie that isn’t gluten-free. Most gluten-free lime pie recipes simply swap out the graham crackers with GF ones.
While this is a viable option, I find a gluten-free graham cracker crust too soft, wet, and flimsy. Not to mention, GF graham crackers are difficult to find and very expensive!
The recipe below instead uses a gluten-free oat crust, but there are other options if you can’t tolerate oatmeal or would like a different flavor!
key limes versus Regular limes
“Regular” limes, also known as Persian limes, are sold year round and can be found at any grocery store. Key limes are harder to find and may only be found at certain times of the year.
When you see them, grab them because it’s a perfect excuse to make a key lime pie! However, you may be wondering what’s the difference between key limes and regular limes and can they be used interchangeably?
Appearance-wise, key limes are smaller, more yellowish in color, and contain more seeds. Their juice is slightly less tart and more aromatic than Persian limes.
If you did a side-by-side taste test, a pie made with key limes would have a smoother, more pleasing flavor. However, if you cannot find key limes, using regular limes is fine! When mixed with the sweetened condensed milk and tangy sour cream no one will be able to tell a difference on its own.
substituting key lime juice
You do not have to use fresh key lime juice for this recipe, but do not use regular lime juice concentrate. Instead, substitute Nellie and Joe’s Key Lime Juice, which is also gluten-free.
If you can’t find fresh key limes or Nellie and Joe’s key lime juice, then regular lime juice may be substituted.
juicing limes for pie
If you use key limes you will need about 1 to 1 1/2 pounds, depending on how fresh they are. This is about 22-30 key limes. To substitute regular limes, you will need about 8-10.
Refrigerate any leftovers. They will keep in the fridge, well covered with plastic wrap or foil, for three days.
For longer storage, you may also freeze key lime pie. If the whip cream is on top, place the whole pie, uncovered, in the freezer until the topping is firm. Wrap securely in several layers of plastic wrap and cover in foil.
Freeze up to 3 months. Unwrap and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before slicing and enjoying.

- To make the whipped cream, use a large mixing bowl with hand held mixer or stand mixer fitted with whisk whip. Beat together heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-low speed until the mixture starts to thicken.1 cup heavy cream,3 tablespoons powdered sugar,1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Increase speed to high and whip until stable peaks form, about 1-2 minutes longer. Spread on the chilled pie and serve cold.

Peabody Industrial Development Corporation
The Peabody Industrial Development Corporation was organized essentially by “main street” supporters and filed for incorporation on April 8, 1966, with the State of Kansas to promote economic development in the city of Peabody.
Several programs were promoted and supported by the corporation in the days and weeks that followed. There was limited success to engage organizations to utilize the Eyestone building in new manufacturing endeavors (after Paramount Products ceased operations) and it was, for a short period of time, occupied by a company manufacturing cabs (Moridge/Full Vision) for farm tractors.
Efforts were made with several prospects for both financing and technical support, but none proved long-lived or able to sufficiently organize. Peabody Industrial Development Corporation ceased operations at some point in the early 1970s.
PIDC and its efforts subsequently became mostly inactive except for some less formalized efforts by business leaders to bring industry to the community. These efforts have had limited success and there currently is no known organized effort being made that parallel the ideas originated by PIDC.
When Peabody Industrial Development Corporation was organized there were a total of 100 shares purchased by 31 Peabody citizens, most of whom were businessmen. The majority of these stockholders are no longer living.
The reason for this notice is to apprise the community and the remainder of living former stockholders about the plan to finally dissolve the long held bank account of PIDC.
Since the ideas originally formulated for the use of these funds has been diminished to zero, it has been decided to forward the funds to the Prairie Lawn Cemetery board to be used for the new wrought iron perimeter fence project and for landscaping projects being planned. The funds will go for a worthy project and will honor those who had a vision for Peabody’s continued business vitality and vibrant hometown atmosphere.
The funds left in the now inactive account at Peabody State Bank amount to $3,712.96. They are to be transferred to the board of Prairie Lawn immediately with the proviso they be used for the current fence project financing and a record made for recognition of the stockholders and the ideas they promoted for the benefit of the Peabody Community.
The listed stockholders names are provided here for recognition and history to remember:
Calvin and Virginia Apollo, W. E. Avery, Brock and Sheryl Baker, Ross Baker, George Becker, Ernest and Mettie Beeton, Vernon Ray and Lucille Beeton, John and Joan Berns, Harry Brown, John and Cleo DeForest, Stanley and Jeanetta Farr, Carroll Harder, Harry and Helen Hanneman, George and Irene Higgins, Fred and Esther Highfill, Harry and Mildred Homan, William Krause, Gaylord and Jean Maples, Ross and Margaret Mathias, Thomas and Jan Pierce, Douglas Porter, Randolph and Betty Robinson, Vernon and Laura Slocombe, Virgil Smith, Thomas Snavely, Arthur and Wilma Stallwitz, C.H. and Irene Stovall, Don Thornton, John Topham, L.C. and Betty Walker, Q. W. Whisler, and Jerry and Carol Whisler.

Dec 9 On our last trip to South Australia last year we did not visit the Yorke Peninsula so we take a left turn north of Adelaide and travel down the east coast of the Peninsula. First stop, Ardrossan, a great place to catch blue swimmer crabs, except the crabs are obviously not aware of this fame. They are all undersize so maybe after Xmas would be a better time to try for them. We were taken aback a little when the caravan park owner warned us about the brown snake underneath the toilet block !! Note the local golf course could do with a new greenkeeper !
One thought on “Ardrossan, Yorke Peninsula”
Hi Bog and Siobhan, well I am impressed that you guys have crab nets and give it a go. The sand greens are very interesting aren’t they!! I must say I can put better on those than greens which probably says a lot for my putting.
Well Christmas is very close and we are off tomorrow to volunteer in the PGA so if you are watching I am on the 11 the hole.

About "Fool Me Again"
Lyrics for Buck Owens - "Fool Me Again"
You find the thrill each time you let me down you know if you need me I'll be around
And when all your love affairs come to an end you know you can fool me again
Fool me again make my heart believe that your sweet sweet love belongs to me
Yes play the part and let my heart pretend come back and fool me again
The same old line that keeps me hanging on is all I think about when I'm alone
And though I know how our love affair will end come back and fool me again
Fool me again


Offers continue to come in for Charlotte (N.C.) Charlotte Catholic 2014 running back Elijah Hood. The 6-foot-0, 212-pounder claims double digit offers after landing his latest not too long ago.
"It was just recently I got an offer from Virginia Tech," he said. "I think they are a good school. It's a good program and I know they are interested enough now; it's great to hear. I can say it's a school I'm pretty interested in, so that's a good thing. I'm definitely trying to get up there to see what they have to offer."
Virginia Tech is just the latest offer joining the likes of Clemson, Duke, North Carolina, NC State, South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Virginia, Wake Forest and East Carolina.
Article Continues Below
In addition to the offer, Hood took a visit recently to the state of Florida, visiting Florida and Miami.
"It was late last month I went and it went well," he said. "I enjoyed myself. Neither have offered me yet, but both said they are pretty interested and were excited to see me. They told me I'm on their offer lists, but haven't gotten to me yet. They gave me no inclination when an offer may come."
Did either school impress?
"They both were pretty impressive, but Florida impressed a good amount," he said. "It's a nice program and they have a beautiful campus. The football team and all the athletes they have. I like the way they run things there, it kind of impressed me."
The rising junior tailback claims no plans for other visits during the season as he is focused primarily on his team.
Speaking of football, Hood and Charlotte Catholic opened the season against South Mecklenburg on Friday night where he ran for 162-yards and three touchdowns in a 41-0 victory.
"My only thought on the season is that we can probably win the state championship if we play well and play smart together as a team," he said. "We've been to the state semifinal twice. We might finally have what it takes to get through."
Personally, Hood realizes that he is still learning the game.
"I can say as far as my season, this is only my second year on varsity and everything seems a little slower than it was last year," he said.
Hood posted 1,982-yards rushing and 35 touchdowns as a sophomore.

Abcalis® has been awarded with the ECEAE Prize for animal-free antibodies. Our co-founder Dr. Esther Wenzel represented us at the official prize ceremony in Brussels.
Antibodies are reagents used very widely in therapy and research, and serve as detection reagents in countless diagnostic tests. In contrast to conventional antibodies, Abcalis® antibodies are not produced in animals, but are produced entirely in-vitro by means of biotechnological processes such as phage display.
As a result they offer many advantages for users over blood products derived from animals: they are always precisely molecularly defined and can be produced in unlimited quantities. With these properties, we ultimately also want to improve the reliability of medical tests on the market – Dr. Esther Wenzel
The award was handed over by Dr. Corina Gericke from the ECEAE Board of Directors.

In our previous article, we discussed basic meditation: what it is, what it does, and some of the well known methods of deepening the mind-body connection.
In this article we will explore some of the more advanced methods of meditation.
Note that advanced doesn’t necessarily mean difficult. It’s just a better method to deepen the meditative state in order to achieve real-time physiological changes in the body.
Real-Time Physiological Changes
It’s true — and has been proven, that meditation causes a positive physiological change at the cellular level in the body — in real time.
In this medical journal titled Change in physiological signals during mindfulness meditation published at the National Institute of Health (nih.gov), the results stated:
“The EEG spectral data supports the already existing evidence that alpha and theta EEG power are increased during the meditative state.”
In another medical journal titled Meditation: Process and effects published at nih.gov, the results showed changes in brain chemistry:
“With aging, the brain cortical thickness (gray matter, which contains neurons) decreases, whereas meditation experience is associated with an increase in gray matter in the brain.”
“During the process of meditation, accumulated stresses are removed, energy is increased, and health is positively affected overall. Research has confirmed a myriad of health benefits associated with the practice of meditation. These include stress reduction, decreased anxiety, decreased depression, reduction in pain (both physical and psychological), improved memory, and increased efficiency. Physiological benefits include reduced blood pressure, heart rate, lactate, cortisol, and epinephrine; decreased metabolism, breathing pattern, oxygen utilization, and carbon dioxide elimination; and increased melatonin, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S), skin resistance, and relative blood flow to the brain.”
3 Advanced Meditation Methods
1. Wim Hoff Method
One round of the Wim Hof Method breathing technique includes these steps:
- Take in a strong inhalation through the nose.
- Let out a relaxed exhalation through the mouth.
- Repeat for 30 breaths.
- On the 30th breath, exhale to 90 percent and hold for as long as you can.
- When you feel your body really needs to take a breath, inhale fully and hold for 15 seconds before releasing.
The basic technique involves three consecutive rounds of the above.
Eventually, the breathing may feel like a wave flowing through your lungs, but this will take practice.
2. 4-7-8 Method
To use the 4-7-8 technique, focus on the following breathing pattern:
- Empty the lungs of air.
- Breathe in quietly through the nose for 4 seconds.
- Hold the breath for a count of 7 seconds.
- Exhale forcefully through the mouth, pursing the lips and making a “whoosh” sound, for 8 seconds.
- Repeat the cycle up to 4 times.
3. Transcendental Meditation
Here’s a very good description of the technique for Transcendental meditation, by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi:
Transcendental meditation method is based on repeating a word or phrase, or a mantra.
Transcendental meditation was designed to induce calmness, and to reduced stress, anxiety, and depression.
To receive the benefits of Transcendental meditation, repeat your personal mantra for 10 to 15 minutes, twice a day.

M 930 Ts with cardioid polar pattern and output transformer The studio microphone M 930 Ts unifies approved large diaphragm capsule technology with anoptimized output transformer and a new developed circuit design. That attains a signal transmission with negligible distortion combined with a lower low frequency response, a very low noise floor and a high sound pressure level even at high external load
Because of the compact dimensions of the M 930 Ts it is ideally suited for applications where an optical inconspicuousness and an absolutely view to manuscripts and monitors is demanded. It can be placed on speaker desks in radio stations as well as for recordings of dialog pickups, audio books and in dubbing studios. Moreover it can be used as main microphone for recordings of solo instruments or vocals, as spot microphone for recording instrumental groups and for setting up multichannel main microphone arrangements. There are accessories for XY-, ORTFand INA 5 arrangements available. Because of the balanced low-impedance transformer output the M 930 Ts can be used for longer cable length with negligible distortion.
The newly optimized circuit topology of the impedance converter leads in combination with the specially designed output transformer to a very high transmission level range for sound pressure levels from 7 dB(A) to 144 dB with a maximum of 0,5% THD (total harmonic distortion). As a result, the M 930 Ts has a clean, distortion free sound over an extremely wide dynamic range. RFI susceptibility is very low. The microphone is connected by a standard 3-pin XLR-male plug with gold-plated pins which realizes the powering by an external 48 V phantom supply according to IEC 61938 with a current consumption of 6 mA.
The capsule is mounted elastically in the compact microphone housing of the M 930 Ts with a diameter of 45 mm and a length of 130 mm for attenuating solid-borne sound and impulses. If a higher attenuation of such influences is required it can be achieved by elastic holders and suspensions which are available as accessories. The weight of the M 930 Ts is 273 g without any holder and suspension. That weight allows the use of the microphone with standard microphone arms, stand mountings and other holders as well as on a microphone tang without any problems.
The pick-up pattern is perpendicular to the direction of the microphone axis (side adressed) and is marked by the model number and the polar pattern symbol. The company logo is at the reverse side of the microphone. A condenser microphone capsule with a diameter of 28 mm and a gold-plated polyester membrane is installed as sound transducer. The polar pattern is cardioid with a very high attenuation of rear sound incidence. The M 930 Ts has a constant frequency response with an accentuation of approximately 2,5 dB between 6 kHz and 12 kHz to raise the speech and high-frequency presence. The change of the low end frequency response caused by the proximity effect is well-balanced without a very strong overemphasis at small microphone distances.

A Bowlful of Heart
The Ottawa Paw Pantry is gearing up to launch its Holiday Pet Food Drive: A Bowlful of Heart. This month long event in December will help us replenish supplies of pet food. Sustained entirely by donations, the Ottawa Paw Pantry provides a lifeline for over 100 low-income pet parents in times of need.
When finances are stretched, especially around the holidays, families can be forced to choose between feeding themselves or their pets. In this situation even greatly loved pets are often surrendered to shelters. Although it is wonderful to provide donations to pet shelters and rescues, we want to help families before they have to make the choice to give up their pets.
While we get ready to officially launch, we continue to look for more places looking to help.
Whether you’re a storefront, or a company who wants to challenge your colleagues, there’s something you can do to get involved! We’ll provide the decorated box and poster for you – all you have to do is give us a shout when your box is full and we’ll be there to pick-it up, just like Santa’s elves.
We are looking for:
- Dog or Cat Food (open bags accepted)
- Dog or Cat Treats
- Dog or Cat Toys
Can’t make it to a drop off?
Financial contributions are also welcome and will be used to purchase additional food. Donate online by e-transfer to firstname.lastname@example.org. If you prefer sending a cheque, please email us for our mailing address.
Want to setup your own fundraiser?
The Ottawa Paw Pantry’s has made it easy with it’s Holiday Giving Tree. It is an opportunity for community members to help provide food and supplies for the care of the homeless dogs and cats that come through our doors
Hosting a Holiday Giving Tree at your business or collecting these gifts is a simple, creative, and tangible way to help out the animals in need in your community. Homeward Pet will provide hang-able tree ornaments with suggested items that help in the care of the dogs and cats in the shelter. You can display the tags as ornaments on your giving tree in a common space, or do something new and creative with them that inspires the holiday spirit.
If you are interested in learning more or organizing a Holiday Giving Tree, please contact to let us know or if you have any questions: email@example.com
Download your posters!
Are you hosting your own drive? Here’s a few more things that might help!

All the information on this fabulous blog is very helpful in every day life. They noticed that we do some helpful Pet Pieces here and thought that my readers would be interested in this and graciously offered it to us. So of course I said yes…just in time to remind everyone about the dangers of different foods…especially during the Holiday Season when food is everywhere. So we are bringing you… Beware: These 10 Foods Could Kill Your Dog! It is best to educate you and your family on what your pup can not have at all! Better safe than sorry. My wish is that this post helps you all keep your dogs safe…happy and healthy during the Holidays and ALWAYS!!! One note: Teaching your children from a young age on this subject is simply a wonderful thing. Here is a quick and easy way to do it! A BIG thanks to Home Remedies For Life! Now I will turn it over to them…
We are close to our dogs, and sometimes we feel like sharing our food with them instead of giving them dog foods. However, it is important to know that just because you enjoy a certain type of food doesn’t mean your dog will enjoy it too. Dogs can be harmed by a number of popular human foods. Giving human food to a dog may seem fun at first, but chances are that the food could harm your dog, or worse, it may even kill it.
Avocados, raw eggs, fish and meat, garlic and onions, chocolates, foods with excess salt, different types of nuts, raisins, bacon, grapes, candy, and caffeine, are all harmful to dogs in different ways.
The following infographic by HomeRemediesForLife.com gives detailed information on 10 human foods that could potentially harm or kill your dog. Let everyone in your household know that they should try at all costs to avoid feeding these foods to your dog.
Please include attribution to homeremediesforlife.com with this graphic.
A fungicidal toxin called persin is present in the fruit, seeds, bark, and leaves of avocado. This compound is not harmful to humans but is dangerous to your dogs when taken in large amounts. The pits of avocados also pose a choking hazard to your dogs. Keep these away and prepare something enjoyable and safe for your canine pet.
There is a lot of controversy on this subject since many vets consider the health benefits of switching to raw meat diets. Some have the view that feeding dogs on raw meat, fish, and eggs gives healthier coat and skin, eases digestion and cleans teeth.
However, other vets recommend cooking the food to kill any bacteria and harmful parasites that may make the dog sick. Even the FDA discourages feeding dogs raw foods since they have a higher risk of contracting e.coli and salmonella infection. Dogs with compromised immune systems are at a higher risk of these infections and since it is difficult telling if the dog has a healthy immune system, avoid feeding them uncooked food.
In raw eggs, some enzymes can bring about skin conditions. Raw fish, on the other hand, can carry harmful parasites. A raw diet carries a lot of risk for your dog compared to the benefits, hence the reason it is not recommended.
Humans enjoy the benefits of these two though it leaves a terrible breath. They are, however, bad news for your canine. They destroy your pet’s red blood cells and could lead to anemia. When taken in small doses, there may be no much harm, but giving your dog large doses may poison it. The dog may show symptoms such as vomiting, weakness, breathlessness, and lack of interest in food. Just keep the onions and garlic to yourself and leave your dog out of it.
Chocolate is a very common food eaten by almost everyone as a snack. However, it can harm dogs, a compound called theobromine present in the cocoa-based food is not harmful to humans but is dangerous to your dog. It is present in all kinds of chocolates and especially in the dark chocolate.
It is known to cause dogs to vomit, get too thirsty, diarrhea, high blood pressure, and even causes seizures, tremors, and abnormalities in heart rhythm. Any of these extremes may lead to death hence the reason you should not make it a dog food and just eat it alone. If you realize the dog is restless or agitated, it may have eaten chocolate and requires a quick visit to the vet.
Dogs are extra sensitive to salt than humans. This requires that you avoid feeding them things like popcorn, pretzel, and other salted foods. It can cause sodium ion poisoning, excessive thirst, and increased urination. When a dog eats too much salt, it will cause diarrhea, vomiting, seizures, have high body temperature or bloating. Since salt can kill your dog, it is crucial that you keep it to a minimum.
You may not know it, but your dog should avoid bacon. It contains high-fat content that can cause pancreatitis, just like ham, or meat trimmings. These meats usually have high salt contents that can cause upset stomachs, bloating among other unwanted harmful effects. You may mess your diet, but keep your canine out of it.
Nuts are the other harmful group of foods you should never feed your dog. Within 12 hours of ingesting Macadamia nuts, your dog can begin experiencing tremors, depression, weakness, increased body temperature, and vomiting. These may last for between 12 and 48 hours. In case you suspect ingestion of nuts, contact your vet immediately for a solution.
Grapes and raisins may be sweet to humans but are not recommended as dog food. Its’ toxic substance is yet to be identified, but they are known to cause kidney failure in those dogs which are sensitive. If your dog already has an underlying health condition, they stand a greater risk of the toxicity.
There is no agreed safe dose of raisins and grapes, so it is wise to avoid feeding your dog any of these. In a situation where your dog has eaten grapes or raisins, or any food containing these two, it is best you contact your vet for assistance before it is too late.
Caffeine, just like chocolate, is a strong stimulant. Dogs are highly sensitive to it than humans. A little tea or coffee may not harm, but if the dog swallows a coffee bean or a tea bag, then there could be trouble. Caffeine poisoning is treated just like chocolate since their signs and symptoms are almost similar.
Humans may have no issue with sweets except for the sugar content, however, for dogs, Xylitol, a component of sweets can cause a surge in insulin leading to a significant drop in blood sugar and maybe liver failure. Xylitol poisoning has symptoms, including seizures, vomiting, lethargy, loss of coordination, and death. It is crucial that you check the ingredients of your foods before feeding them to your dog.

Economist believes that this system will do nothing to control cost but the budget office believes the bill will reduce the cost over a ten-year period. The cost concerns affected Americans because it helped Republicans win control over the House of Representatives in the mid-term elections and they also threatened to remove government funding. This reform also affected Doctors in the United States. Lifesitenews.com states that Doctors believe this Health Care reform will not be fair to them because the nurse practitioners and physicians assistant will be caring for the Patients hands on rather than the doctors even though they have more medical experience. His next plan of action was by using budget deficits which stop
The reason he gave me was that each time the disease comes back it will be harder to treat then before and with this procedures it would wipe it out altogether and I would not have to worry about the disease ever coming back. I was very skeptical about the procedure because my initial thought was “what if it doesn’t work for me”, the first treatment I had for the disease cures about 70% of the patient and I ended up being one of the 30% it did not cure. The procedures were to take my stem cells and blast the cell with the strongest chemo medications, freeze them and later inject the cells back into my body. I would be in the hospital for three weeks and after being release I was not suppose to interact with people unless I was wearing a mask. To make a long story short I decided to have the procedure
The only physicians the author interviews in his book involve the topic of genetic doping. How could you write a book on steroids and not interview Harrison Pope, M.D. from Harvard, the leading expert on anabolic steroids? Jendrick dismisses the medical consequences of steroid use, blaming the media for sensationalizing and spreading misinformation about steroids. While I agree that the media uses scare tactics to alarm the public and grab more ratings, his claim that 99% of testicular shrinkage returns to previous size after discontinuation of steroids is more irresponsible.
As for whether slashing military spending would deny us needed protection, one could as well ask whether we are safe today with policies that risk "blowback”, bankruptcy, and monetary disarray. All through the debate over health-care reform last year, I cast a somewhat jaundiced eye on those critics who said the United States could not afford it, because frequently those critics also seemed to be supporters of the Iraq war. Their thrift seemed to stop at the war’s edge. They said we could not afford health care, when we plainly could afford it, given our outlandish spending on a war of choice, to say nothing of a Wall Street bailout. $700 billion for the war.
Not taking any action in this case has proven to be a bad decision as was quickly learned in 2004. When analyzing the case using the prudent pragmatism method to develop policy recommendations, one may compare the current case to see what may have caused the situation to worsen. Over the years the amount of vaccine manufacturers in the U.S. has declined, so has the ability to guarantee flu vaccination doses for all who desire one. As it seems that the unpredictability of influenza vaccine supply is the main cause of the supply shortages, the main policy goal should be to bring back more manufacturers of flu vaccinations. Due to the lack of financial incentive to produce flu vaccinations in the U.S., policymakers must decide on a method of bringing more vaccinations to the U.S. from abroad or subsidizing the ones
The body parts and organs that were named have been successful in treating the patient’s condition. Discuss whether or not these artificial organs can permanently replace the original human organ. I believe in this day and time, that completely ruling out regular transplant would not be fair because there are so many people waiting for a transplant. I feel as though artificial organs cannot permanently take the place of original human organs because a patient might not react as well to an original human organ rather than an artificial one. My theory also is that eventually people will start bidding on artificial organs and the richer people will have say over a family that doesn't have a lot of money.
The sheer numbers involved results is a random combination of health implications. Most people will not notice anything, or pass any slight symptom off as getting older. Other people who have more of a reaction will go to the doctor and get diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a catch all disease that was created about a decade ago to give doctors something to tell the patient when they complained. The doctors can't accurate diagnose or understand what or why a patient is feeling a certain way, so the corrupt medical establishment gives them this nonsense to spew.
Lao-Tzu and Today’s American Society There are dozens of tactics that thousands of leaders have tried throughout history to come up with the perfect way which to run a government and a nation. Some leaders and masters think violence is necessary and see power and victory in fighting and winning a war. Others see the importance of peace and agree that there is no need for violence for any matter whatsoever. Twenty-five hundred years ago life was much different and the necessities for the average person varied drastically than those of today. What was cherished could have been a cup of rice, as compared to today where fast pace technology rules the world and the average American cannot go a day without a device to be in constant communication
Improve patient safety and quality care. And last maintain long-term fiscal sustainability so that the plan will pay for itself. “I suffer no illusions that this will be an easy process. It will be hard. But I also know that nearly a century after Teddy Roosevelt first called for reform, the cost of our health care has weighed down our economy and the conscience of our nation long enough.
One common topic in many political conversations is government standardized health care. Government standardized health care is not what this country needs for so many different reasons. Just for starters, the general American public does not support the bill, but our governments legislation is still trying to force it on the American public. Also, more and more government officials are loosing support for standardized health care. Everywhere you go, there is evidence of our economy taking a down turn.

The corpus cavernosa are the two spongy chambers along each side of
the shaft of the penis. When you have an erection, the smooth muscle in these
chambers relaxes, blood flows in through the penile arteries, and the chambers
fill with blood and expand. The expanded chambers press against the veins that
would normally drain blood from the penis, trapping the blood inside and making
the penis erect.
After ejaculation or when you are no longer sexually aroused, the
arteries narrow, the veins expand, and the blood drains out. The penis becomes

Arrival is the rare breed of science fiction that actually takes Science As It Is Properly Done Right Now seriously and obviously admires and respects it, which is absolutely refreshing as a lot of SciFi today feels mostly like militarized power fantasies with a bit of technobabble. For that alone, I had to like the film, but there are also the cinematography, the soundtrack and the characters to really make me love it.

New York, NY – Jacobi Medical Center ER nurse Kelley Cabrera, 28, has been an RN for six years. During the worst of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, she and her colleagues routinely worked double shifts “until travel nurses came from across the country” to aid their comrades.
Back at the beginning of April, most of the patients in Cabrera’s Bronx ER were COVID-19 positive.
“We actually created an extra space for COVID-19 patients,” the New York State Nurses Association [NYSNA] member says. “Most everyone in the hospital had COVID-19.”
When asked if she and the other nurses had adequate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) from the beginning of the pandemic — Cabrera says, no.
“Similar to other facilities, we were told to reuse [our masks],” Cabrera says. “Before — with tuberculosis, for example — we were told to use new ones. On March 28,, we had a protest outside the hospital. We got a lot of media coverage. We were one of the first [rallies] to get coverage. Then other protests started. That sparked donations. After the first protest, the very same day, a man drove from Maryland to give us a donation of masks. He said he saw us on TV. The response was very positive. Other donations started to come in — some handmade, some from construction jobs they had at home, masks and goggles, too.”
Still, the toll on ER staff was devastating.
“We had a lot of deaths among patients,” Cabrera says. “Before COVID-19, every hospital had a code where you know when a patient is dying — an announcement. [During the pandemic] the calls overhead were going off all the time. It started off a slow trickle, then everybody had it. It was very different [than now], we couldn’t test everybody. We had to diagnose with x-ray because we didn’t have the technical capabilities we have now.”
Difficulties caused by the government contributed to the death toll.
“The government limited our ability to control the spread,” Cabrera says. “[With] one of the first patients we suspected had COVID-19, we had to be in multiple conversations with the Department of Health to see whether we could test the patient. [And] you can’t do contact tracing without tests. [It] contributed to so much of the panic and spread. If we had been testing, and able to shut down earlier, [it would have been different.]”
Cabrera deeply feels the anguish and suffering affected families experienced as a result.
“I would never want anyone to see what I saw; [relatives] bringing family members by car or whatever. I watched many people say goodbye not knowing if they were going to make it out and die alone,” she says “This scale…it didn’t have to be this bad.”
Cabrera says union action helped nurses get through it all.
“The union helped with media contacts for the protest — the importance of having a union was never as important as it is now,” she says. “Former co-workers not in a union reached out to me to ask what can they do. There were reports of other facilities where workers that were not in unions and were fired for speaking out. It’s been really important to realize how much power we have collectively. Our union has 42,000 workers. I realize it’s not just our individual facility; I went to other hospitals around the city — other people came here to support us.”


The community is coming together to support the family of Kortne Stouffer whose been missing now for 60 days.
On Sunday afternoon a "peace walk" was held at Memorial Lake near Fort Indiantown Gap.
Participants walked a few miles around the lake and then a fundraiser was held selling t-shirts created to help raise reward money.
According to family members the walk was important and symbolic because it's where Kortne would walk her dog.
"It was a chance for us to get together and take a path that Kortne used to take with her dog and her mom, and kind of hang out a little bit. And reflect on if she was here with us, and also build our hope that she is still out there somewhere, and that we can find her and bring her home," said Kortne's father, Scott Stouffer.
Kortne Stouffer was last seen at her Palmyra apartment on July 29th. The reward for information leading to Stouffer now stands at $42-thousand dollars.

Own Frankenstein’s Corvette From Death Race 2000
If you’re a fan of Death Race 2000 (the original, not that crappy Jason Statham remake) you’d better start planning to attend the Mecum Auction in Indianapolis, May 12th through 16th.
The Roger Corman-produced 1975 camp classic Death Race 2000 portrays a dystopian 21st century America in which people are entertained by the murderous Annual Transcontinental Road Race. Racers get extra points for killing pedestrians, and the best driver among them is Frankenstein (played by David Carradine), a supposed half-man, half-machine hybrid.
Frankenstein’s signature ride is a custom alligator-themed 1975 C3 Corvette. The vehicle is, appropriately enough, sort of a Frankenstein’s monster itself: builder Dean Jefferies actually used a Volkswagen platform and mocked it up to look like a C3 Corvette. The vehicle uses a Chevrolet Corvair’s air-cooled flat-six engine, which is hidden in the rear behind the mock engine on top.
Designed by James Powers, Mecum is only expecting this car to sell for $20,000 to $25,000, which sounds like a steal to us. This thing would make one hell of a daily driver (as long as you don’t drive it like Frank did…)

There were 50 people murdered in Pulaski County last year — 41 in Little Rock, six in North Little Rock and three in the county. It’s not a record (76 were killed in 1993) but it’s higher than usual and scary that it’s going to rise.
Why shouldn’t we expect a lot more murders this year based on some of the awful crimes the day before Christmas and six out of seven days in the New Year? A 17-year-old kid was shot to death in his back yard on Christmas Eve by what the police believe were three kids, and on Christmas a 37-year-old man was killed outside his apartment on Base Line Road.
On Jan. 9, a 21-year-old man was killed by three young people who broke into his house. On Jan. 11, a 21-year-old woman with four babies was killed in an apartment in a housing project. On Jan. 12, two elderly men were killed in a house near UALR. On Jan.13, a 28-year-old man was shot and killed when he broke into a mobile home. And on Sunday, a 19-year-old boy was found dead on the side of the road near a trailer park from a gunshot wound in his head.
Sgt. Terry Hastings of the Little Rock Police Department said he had been a policeman for 30 years but had never seen six homicides in seven days. Doesn’t it seem a bad time for Pulaski County to fire 27 patrolmen and Little Rock police to be operating 67 officers short? Hearing about the slayings, Prosecuting Attorney Larry Jegley told a Democrat-Gazette reporter that he was amazed: “What are 15-year-old kids, or for that matter 19-year-old kids, doing out there with guns?” he said. “I mean, what’s wrong with this picture?”
The answer is easy, Mr. Jegley — Arkansas has almost no laws concerning the selling of pistols. It’s as easy to buy one as it is a shirt.
If you buy a pistol at a gun store, you have to be 21 years old. You have to fill out a three-page form, and a store employee has to call the U.S. Department of Justice, which will look through records to see if the buyer “has been convicted of a felony, or any other crime, for which the judge could have imprisoned the person for more than one year, or who has been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence.”
Buster Gavin, who sells guns at Fort Thompson Sporting Goods in North Little Rock, says that it takes anywhere from five minutes to three days for a customer to get his gun. Nine out of 10 customers get the okay. Stores can’t sell more than two handguns at a time, and most of them don’t sell many Saturday night specials because their admirers won’t pay what most gun stores charge, which is at least $100.
So where do people in Arkansas who might want to shoot someone get pistols? Many say that foreign companies ship them to Americans who order them. Some also say that a few illegal immigrants coming to the United States bring handguns and sell them on the streets. Burglars usually look for guns to take away to sell. For years pistols have been sold by individuals at Arkansas gun shows without any reporting to either the national or state government. There’s a rumor that this is going to change, but I doubt it. Actually, the easiest way to get a cheap, unregistered pistol is to read the classified ads in almost any newspaper. Last Sunday’s Democrat-Gazette had 12 ads selling handguns.
Now many states don’t allow any of this. They can put you in jail if you have any kind of a handgun and don’t register it. Many states, including California, require you to be trained to use a handgun after you have bought one. Maryland and several states will not allow anyone to sell a handgun unless it has an external, child-safety loading device. Most states won’t allow you to carry a pistol in a car unless you have registered it. Connecticut will not allow anyone to acquire a handgun without a thorough, eight-week investigation.
While Arkansas has a small population, 6.4 percent of its violent crimes are murders, according to the FBI’s 2003 crime report. The percentage of murder in Texas, which is 10 times the population of Arkansas, is the same 6.4 percent. And only 11 other states have greater percentages of murder than Arkansas and Texas.
In Arkansas, there are 32,000 members of the National Rifle Association, which opposes any laws to prevent the owning of any guns. Its real interest, of course, is hunting, which, of course, is mostly done with rifles and shotguns, and its members surely know that few people care about having strict laws for hunting guns. Yet the NRA refuses to make that distinction and continues to lobby for no gun rules in every state and the District of Columbia.
Arkansas’s mayors, aldermen and legislators ought to think about nearly one murder every day in Little Rock and pass some laws that might save the lives of some people.

"I honestly can't find any sort of practical test that would harm this receiver or make it in any way inferior to an aluminum one."- Tom @ Apex Gunsmithing Experpt from a Third Party Review at http://www.apexgunsmithing.com/poly-receivers-testing-part-2/
Federal law requires that you be 21 years or age or older to purchase a stripped receiver or frame. If a frame or receiver can only be made into a long gun (rifle or shotgun), it is still a frame or receiver not a handgun or long gun. However, they still are "firearms" by definition, and subject to the same GCA limitations as any other firearms. Please enter the phone number, city, and state of the licenced dealer you would like it shipped to when ordering.
This was the first lower I've ever purchased and I could not be happier. Great customer service! Can't wait to do business with them again.
Very happy. This is the second lower I've purchased. Fit form and function is flawless.
Great quality product excellent customer service fast shipping
Great product. Excellent customer service and it shipped super fast. Very light and fit my complete upper well
Great product, only issue light flashing on lower that needed cleaned up. Nothing major. Put together with a sota arms upper fit perfect, shot great. Then took a dpms upper fit was also perfect. I will buy another. Shipping was also extremely fast.
Outstanding piece of gear. Put 500 rounds through it as soon as I got it and no issues. Comes with great parts & trigger is as smooth as butter! Highly recommended!
I'll try to be as objective as possible in this review. I have built only 3 AR's so my experience is limited.
That being said, I very much like the look and feel of this receiver. Everything fit's pretty well without any modification needed. I'm running this receiver in a 300 blackout pistol build.
I'll get the cons of this receiver out of the way first as it is a much shorter and insignificant list.
1. Some the parts from the CMMG LPK were a little tighter fitting than I'm used to; consquentially, they didn't slide/move as freely as I'm used to. The parts in specific that don't move as freely are the bolt catch, and the take-down pins. They take a little more effort to move than on the aluminum receivers I've dealt with. I don't know if the bolt catch stiffness is a problem (as far as locking back on firing of last round in mag) because I've been having a difficult time finding 300 AAC ammo for less than $2.00 per round, but it seems to lock back fine in pulling the charging handle back with an empty mag in there. As far as the takedown pins are concerned, it just takes a little more effort to push them in or out. That could also be attributed to the particular upper that I'm using though, so take that for what it's worth.
2. I don't know if this is the CMMG LPK problem or the lower receiver itself, but the sprint & detent combo from the handle into the receiver is either a little to short or not strong enough or something. Switching the selector from safe to fire is pretty mushy. Function testing proves that it will work just fine (safety works and fire drops the hammer like it should), but it is mushy. I just don't like that but I'm thinking I can just drop some filling in the handle or something so that the spring pushes up harder on the detent.
3. This is really just a nuance and not so much anything important, but where the serial number is engraved is a bright silver and to me it just looks a little tacky. That's just me being picky though I think.
1. Frigging lightweight. I love it. There are others that are as light as this receiver out there, but they're four times the price (e.g. Mag Tactical Systems lightweight lower reveiver).
2. Ruggedness/Robustness (is that a word?). This thing is built Ford Tough. There's a lot of flaming out there on the interwebz surrounding polymer lowers, but after reading many different reviews on independent third parties trying to break this thing, I figured I'd pull the trigger (no pun intended) on it and I'm not disappointed. Don't take my word for it. Google the torture tests on this thing. Find out for yourself.
3. Aesthetics. First of all there's two things. A: This thing doesn't really mar like aluminum receivers do. And 2: if it DOES mar, it's polymer. Who cares? And you can't really see it anyways. So that's always nice. I always hated taking my other AR's out and being pissed off that I put another huge scratch on it from training with weapons manipulation.
4. Everything seems to feel (for the most part--see CONS section) and function exactly the way the aluminum receivers do. Mag release, Bolt release, trigger, and everything else. It just works (as to be expected for the product to be as popular as it is I guess). This "PRO" is probably a no-brainer, but I figured I'd include it just in case anyone had any questions about it.
5. Not really a PRO for me, but I've read some others that feel this way about it. If someone else notices your receiver/rifle looks different, it makes for a great conversation starter. Cool technology to show off and you might make a friend or two.
6. Price. I see lower receivers go for up to 400 these days. Not sure what in the name of Zeus' beard makes them so damned expensive, but it's refreshing to see a lower (even fully assembled) for less than $170.
7. Lifetime guarantee. I'm really happy about the fact that these things are guaranteed. Even if they DO break (which people keep trying to do till this day) the guys at TN Arms. are more than willing to fully replace the receiver. That's pretty farkin' sweet. I don't plan on taking advantage of that guarantee, but it's nice to know they've got your back. I know of some other companies that pretty much tell you to "fornicate" yourself (won't bash other companies, but you can find those horror stories out there), if your receiver or something else on the rifle breaks.
Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase and I definitely would buy this again. Hope this review is helpful.
Dead on color match with Magpul FDE. Lightweight and solid. Like any polymer lower it's a little tight fitting with the upper until you throw lead down range. Fast shipping too!
The lower perfectly mounted to the upper I bought, there were no burrs on the injection molding and the trigger is crisp. I took it out today and it performed flawlessly. The etching was also perfect and clear looking. Awesome/10 guys.
