Excatly... they don't follow USPSA rules. So, I guess I need Steel gun and USPSA gun. I need to buy 9mm anyways for both USPSA and etcetra. XD40 doesn't cycle well below 145PF (Robbie said 140 but mine doesn't slide lock below 145PF) and its HUUUUUUUUDGE disadvantage for me. So, I got go back to 9mm or something which slide is light enough. You know.... you guys are like, so like upbeat. I wish I can have blind faith in me aaal the time. But it always slips away and hard to hold on to. So, thanks, you too, EricW, for words of blind faith!!

I just need to rant. I am bummed. After almost like half year shooting, I was told just this tuesday that double-stack production gun has to shoot in Limitted Class, not in Lim10. This sucks big time. Tuesday Steel has a lot of mandatory mag-change and all, surely this is way too much disadvantage..... Or well. Gotta get a Glock and high-cap mags, start loading pussycat load or just forget about Tuesday Steel..... My sprit/mind ain't in it shooting knowing my gun is not competitive. This shooting stuff is costing me too much. Argh. Can't keep up with it

I am wondering if there's any Tscon resident near the range who can put me up for Fri & Sat for Dust Devil match on April 1st and 2nd. (therefore, night of 31st and 1st). I can bring my own cot and beddings and stuff. Just the corner of your livingroom or that kind of arrangement is OK. Ah, shower will be nice too :D Oh oh non-smoker. Thank you in advance!!!

What? beaches? In Pacifica? Whoa. End is near...

Yeah, as soon as it made into New York Times article quote "even cuctus are wilting" it started to pour! I mean pour! I can't believe the rain picked smm weekend after 142 days or something. Brrrrrr. Did you guy shoot? Or it is called off? I was going to watch but sorry didn't! Quick Update, It's 10:15 and it's snowing...heavily. I haven't gotten out of the car yet. Good thing I'm sitting here with my great big hansome smart talented buddy Seeklander. This sucks

Thing about him is he looks like alcholic bus driver... and still wins! Amazing! And totally, Andrei is so scary. So spooky too. I don't want to say I am a fan but I am so convinced he is really really good. So good some fights are so boring!

Ok guys, I started to feel like big-sis in need to protect retard little brother! No Tito bashing!! ok?? Yeah, when Gracie started this whole MMA thing, BJJ was so new. So like, no one knew how to go against. But nowadays everybody trains with BJJ. And, No-gi BJJ has only limitted number of take-downs avialable. Royce needs to take Matt down BEFORE he get knocked down.. dunno... I mean, unlike other sprots, boxing, BJJ, and Muy Thai and those real contact combat sprots need unbelievable amount of determination. I sooooo respect guys who are doing them!! How uncomfortable when I got pinned even while practicing is.. you have to experience it to know. It really really hurts. I always needed to psyche-up to pump a lot of adrenaline, that itself was so tiring afterwards Hope Royce can amp himself up for it, after looooooong absense. Really. And old-man Randy is exception. I think that comentator guy said once Randy was doing all alkali diet or something. I can not believe he just doesn't gas out. I bet Randy and Lance Armstrong are ETs. Something to look forward

I heard the rumore but didn't believeit. Its crazy! Royce vs. Matt. Are you kidding me? It's the biggest fight of the recent history or what? (on 5/27). Staple Ccenter is the venue. Gosh. Hope like, Rocye didn't get his ass kicked... what you guys think? BUT BUT BUT!! what I can not miss is actually Forrest vs Tito on 4/15!!! Two of my favorite fighter.. Oh no! what am I gonna do? My heart will be shattered either way. Tito is the cuter one but Forrest is nicer guy. So....... as far as Forrest didn't mess up Tito's cute face, I will go with Forrest. On same day, Andrei vs Tim too. Geesh. maybe I am gonna order DirecTV. Hey, anyone in Phoenix area want to host UFC watching party??? I can bring lots of sushi!! I promise!

ima45dv8 - yes. she is small asian woman with oriental accent (hey, thats me!) so I feel pretty comfortable. Did undergraduate and gradute in China. and then doc too. Published a book and stuff. My first one was white woman and yeah, she did stick needles ok but I just didn't feel she's holistic. I am having hangover from acupuncture today. Sooo tired... XRe - your post on elobow kinda started to push me towards trying it.. thanks! and AikiDale - yeah... I am hoping. Really. I have list of dojo on my desk but when I can go back, I have no idea. It really bums me out. I really like BJJ.

I grew up with this needle stuff. I knew the theory and everything and maybe because I took it granted, I never tried. But Shoulder pain (inflamed tendons) were so bad, it was hurting from wrist to middle back and to shoulder and neck. Tore knee meniscus pain persistent and I can't even do stationery bikes, Finally a friend convinced me to try acupuncture. Holy macaroni! After tow visits, shoulder pain is almost gone except for the original inflamed tendon. Knee doesn't hurt even after half hour of stationery bike. I can't believe its just like that. It wasn't easy first though. I am extremely afraid of needles!! After I broke down crying on first visit, it came to me why I am afraid (childhood physical abuse) and needed to overcome the fear.It was really hard job but I found the way out. So like today, I had both shoulders stiff like rocks from arthritis caused by old motorcycle accidents. Needles for half hour and geesh, its soooooooo much easier!! It's almost like magic. I am convert now. Highly recommended.

shure ones are ok for me. It needs technique to make it work. Serious! If you don't push the buds aaaaaaal the way, it sounds crappy. No base at all. It seals quite well. It comes with form earplug with hole in it where sound comes into your ears.

Can anyone say bittorent?? I don't have Outdoor Channel...

Buhahahaha! Thats funny! Everybody wants to see, of course! Any Dutch in the house?????

Couldn't find the original thread... so what the heck and I am goona start.... Just frakking unbelievable. I saw the new mini-series last night. What a great production. Better than so many movies out there! Great casting - all believable, real people. Great char actors and performance - so much emotions I can feel, I was crying with them constantly, in real, just exhausted in 1 hour or so and needed to pause and regroup! Not only that, it was good war movie too and all I can say was WHOA! And the lines! Who wore the script? Every time the Admiral gives speeches, I had chills. Never happened before watching the movie!

Yes yes yes!

http://www.lenticular.org.nz/pressrelease.html WOW. all I can say is WOW. I wanna see I wanna see.

Hello! I somehow managed to drag that stuff out to the garage. Maybe salmon I ate for dinner did the trick Rest is easy. Thank you thank you. This moving stuff makes me loosing weight for sure! Hm. Airsoft AND TV? How that works? Its not Time Travel Video game (which you can shoot at the screen) isn't it? I still having problem comprehending why this 3br house is cheaper than my 1 br condo in Oakland... but I am not complaining! Bedroom, entertainment room (with big TV and surround of course, Craig) and dressing & hobby room, like reloading and sweing and working out. I even have Rika bathroom and cats bathroom! Only problem is the carpet is quite shaggy. Maybe I should have like, some vinyl/tarp or something underneath to catch stray primers and powder. Ripping the carpet off around the reloader is tossed out. Too much trouble. My reloading room just got a new name! In that theory, bat cave for a woman is, catwoman cave... hm, how appropriate..

Yeeeeeha. I finally have a study bench for the reloader. I have been looking for below 100bux bench and HomeDepot had a sale. Workforce workbench Originally $120 and on sale on the web for $97. BUT I bought at the store yesterday and it was $79!! It has hardwood top and hope I can drill the holes. Problem is, two guy loaded it to my truck but now it's sitting in my truck in the garage. How the heck I am going to unload this stuff??? I will open package in the truck and hopefully, unload piece by piece. And, since I know how crazily hot in the summer here (yes, I moved to AZ) I will set up reloader in one of my bedroom. Crazy me. Will give you report if it works for reloader or not

http://www.fireflyseason2.com/index.asp is trying to revive Firefly. If you want, sing up and let them know we want. Suposedly, if they got enough people cheering, they will make season 2 on DVD.

Isn't that so!! Even with her personality disorders, she was so calm and not panicky in that situation enough to unlock the gun, un-safety it etc enough to nail him. I was soooo proud of her! Ah Jack.. he always looses his loved one. Amazing he has ability to still love someone. he must have a really bitchin therapist!!! :D

My friend who introduced Firefly to me was raving "its better than Farscape!" and I am like "no sh*t!!" and instantly into my Netflix Q arriving in couple of days. Farscape, The Shiled, Firefly, "24"... TV series are so great now.

Matt! no, its not 3 plong. You can basically connect your laptop directly into the wall. Its just 100V instead of 100V like here.... except that, both of the prong is same size. Some of the laptop is like that. BTW, How the heck you FORGET to talk with me before you go there?????!!! Geeeessh. I could have gotten a load of information for you! And next time, hire me as your personal translator. I work for free for ya. :D

and of course, we women have been drooling for you-know-who inside the hen house for long

Apple/Win dual boot?? ---------------------- Apple notebook using Intel Robson cache technology may be launched this month Hans Wu & Danny Kuo, Taipei; Esther Lam, DigiTimes.com [Thursday 5 January 2006] Although Intel only demonstrated its Robson cache technology in the fourth quarter of last year, sources now claim that Apple Computer will launch a notebook computer in the middle of this month that utilizes the NAND flash based cache memory technology. The sources did not say which line of Apple notebooks would implement the technology, and Apple Taiwan was not available for comment at the time of publication. Robson cache technology relies on NAND flash instead of a traditional hard disk drive (HDD) for starting up a computer or launching frequently used applications, and thus is able to significantly improve the computer’s boot up time, as well as battery life. Intel demonstrated the technology with a Centrino-based notebook during the Intel Developer Forum Taipei in October 2005. A report in Computer World cited Mooly Eden, vice president and general manager of Intel's mobile platform group, as saying that power consumption should be minimized by using a NAND flash storage device, as it does not require a motor to spin the drive. According to industry observers, there are three possible ways Apple can deploy Robson technology in its notebook. The most convenient way would be to equip the device with a NAND flash disk on module (DOM) that would plug into an ATA slot. Another method would be a combination memory solution, whereby Robson is deployed on the HDD. HDD makers would provide an addition density area that would be assigned to NAND flash. The last solution, which is also the most direct solution, is to embedded the Robson-flash into a chipset or create an additional slot on the motherboard for such memory. However, this solution would involve the motherboard and chipset makers, so observers doubt the possibility.

thanks guys.. now i have homework for sure... bit slacking since New Year is a big thing for Japanese... eating and eating and eating...
