Just a heads up. Stoogey is contacting people asking if they are still interested in something they inquired about. I asked a real user a question about a scope and Stoogey contacted me to ask if was still interested and that he had one for sale. He is obviously a scammer. Here are some screenshots. I have reported him.

I am wondering if anyone here does dirt work for a living?

The reason is we have a pond that keeps on leaking a lot and I am trying to figure out where to start my research.

The pond is about 40 years old and the side that is leaking is the downhill side. Just beyond that about 50 feet is a tree line. The soil is primarily clay, but in spots there is some sandy soil.

Initially I thought tree roots had grown in and were the primary cause of the leak. Well, I went through with machinery and cleared out most (95%+) of the roots. I have been messing with it for over a month already.

Today it was still leaking quite a lot so I used a front end loader and dug a trench about 2-3 feet deep along most of that side of the pond, maybe 75-100 feet long. Where the slope of the pond wall starts to level out is where I dug my ditch. I intentionally tried to make the wall of said ditch on the pond side as vertical as possible so I could try and see what was going on. There were no roots, but there are spots along that vertical wall (on the pond side) that are just flowing water. Within just a few minutes the ditch was partially full of water and you can see where the water is flowing from.

I'm not quite sure what the next step is supposed to be hence I am throwing this out there for experienced people to help steer me.

Hi SH,

I'm curious to see what you would choose if you had to 5k on a rifle and optic setup to get started.

Ranges within a reasonable proximity to me go out to 1000 yards. I don't plan to compete but want to attend courses and enjoy honing my craft.

An interesting read with interesting implications if the second bullet point is true


Who else could they be monitoring do you suppose? And does the firm do more than monitor?

and we already know that in his world, "The children are free."

I've got an Origin incoming and I'd like to pick up barrels for a couple different cartridges. The 3 options I'm considering are basically the same price.

PVA Rock Creek prefits on sale
Proof prefits on EV
Criterion on NSS

I don't necessarily want the Proof competition profile, so that's my #3 choice. I like the idea of the Criterion shouldered barrels vs the nut, but not a huge deal. Is there any substantial reason to choose one over the others?

Note: I will only sell to established members with 100% positive feedback for multiple previous transactions.

All of these parts are brand new. Some are brand new in the original packaging, some are take offs from new complete rifles. If you have ever purchased LMT barrels, you know that they are test fired by LMT and often have scuffs on the exterior finish. If you are looking for pristine parts with no surface blemishes, these LMT parts might not be for you. Not interested in any trades. Funds can be sent via discreet Paypal (F&F or and 3% for payment). Any questions, just ask. I have sold many high end rifles and scopes on this sight, see my feedback. It might take me a few days before I am able to ship once I receive payment. Please keep that in mind while waiting for a tracking number. Items will be shipped with full insurance. Thanks for looking.

On Wednesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revealed that it had authorized the first pill taken orally made from donated human feces.

An enema-based medicine was cleared for use in December 2022, making this the second treatment produced from human feces to receive approval.

The FDA has given its approval for the pills, Vowst, to be used by adults aged 18 and older who have a history of repeated infections with Clostridium difficile, a kind of bacteria that can cause severe cases of nausea, cramps, and diarrhea.


Read the news release below:

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Vowst, the first fecal microbiota product that is taken orally. Vowst is approved for the prevention of recurrence of Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) infection (CDI) in individuals 18 years of age and older, following antibacterial treatment for recurrent CDI.
“Today’s approval provides patients and healthcare providers a new way to help prevent recurrent C. difficile infection,” said Peter Marks, M.D., Ph.D., director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. “The availability of a fecal microbiota product that can be taken orally is a significant step forward in advancing patient care and accessibility for individuals who have experienced this disease that can be potentially life-threatening.”
CDI, caused by the bacterium C. difficile, is one of the most common healthcare-associated infections in the United States and is associated with 15,000 to 30,000 deaths annually. The human intestinal tract contains millions of microorganisms, often referred to as the “gut flora,” or “gut microbiome.” Certain situations, such as taking antibiotics to treat an infection, may change the balance of microorganisms in the gut, allowing C. difficile to multiply and release toxins causing diarrhea, abdominal pain and fever, and in some cases, organ failure and death. Other risk factors that can increase the risk of CDI include age over 65 years, hospitalization, nursing home residency, a weakened immune system and/or a previous history of CDI. After recovering from CDI, individuals may get the infection again—often multiple times—a condition known as recurrent CDI. The risk of additional recurrences increases with each infection and treatment options for recurrent CDI are limited. The administration of fecal microbiota is thought to facilitate restoration of the gut flora to prevent further episodes of CDI.
The dosing regimen of Vowst is four capsules taken once a day, orally, for three consecutive days. Vowst contains live bacteria and is manufactured from human fecal matter that has been donated by qualified individuals. Although the donors and donated stool are tested for a panel of transmissible pathogens, Vowst may carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents. It is also possible for Vowst to contain food allergens; the potential for Vowst to cause adverse reactions due to food allergens is unknown.
The safety of Vowst was evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical study and an open-label clinical study conducted in the U.S. and Canada. The participants had recurrent CDI, were 48 to 96 hours post-antibacterial treatment and their symptoms were controlled. Across both studies, 346 individuals 18 years of age and older with recurrent CDI received all scheduled doses of Vowst. In an analysis among 90 Vowst recipients, when compared to 92 placebo recipients, the most commonly reported side effects by Vowst recipients, which occurred at a greater frequency than reported by placebo recipients, were abdominal bloating, fatigue, constipation, chills and diarrhea.
The effectiveness of Vowst was evaluated in the randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study in which 89 participants received Vowst and 93 participants received placebo. Through 8 weeks after treatment, CDI recurrence in Vowst-treated participants was lower compared to placebo-treated participants (12.4% compared to 39.8%).
The application was granted Priority Review, Breakthrough Therapy and Orphan designations.
The FDA granted approval of Vowst to Seres Therapeutics Inc.

Well boys, my wife gave birth to our first kid, a Son. 8lbs 1 oz and 21”.

It was an amazing process and I’m excited to move forward in life with her and our new son.

I’d like to purchase his first rifle. I want something like a savage rascal/ keystone cricket. A youth size rifle that a kid can get used to shouldering and using irons with. I’d like something that’s a bit nicer, something he can pass along to his son in the future. Maybe a 457 scout or similar?

What have you guys gone with for those of you that did similar?

Hi Guys,

Hogs helping Hogs American Sniper's has this benefit for Sgt Josh Clark we want to bring to your attention www.americansnipers.org




Given the currently running benefit raffle (3/31/23 – 5/26/23) for Sgt Josh Clark (USMC) organized by Standing Offhand and hosted on the americansnipers.org website, I felt it would be helpful to provide some background on who you’re supporting through the raffle. If I could impress upon you how I know Josh, I would but that’s impossible. This is the best I can do… -Jeff

Josh is a Marine Scout/Sniper. I met him in Sept 2004 when my Marine Corps unit relieved his at the end of their combat tour south of Baghdad. They had spent the hot horrible summer there and dealt with a lot that year. This was during a high point for the insurgency and their area of operation, the one we were now occupying, was known as the “Triangle of Death.” This was due to the number of kidnappings and executions in that region over the previous 2 or so years. A lot of movement, redirecting, and adaptation was taking place for US forces there and it was shortly after Josh’s unit departed that Operation Phantom Fury took place in Fallujah.

Josh returned home to Camp LeJeune where he finished his 10 year service to the Marine Corps in 2005. In Jan of 2006, the 2 of us found ourselves together again in the Worldwide Personal Protective Services course for Triple Canopy, Inc. (TC). This is a security contracting company servicing Dept. of State and Dept. of Defense contracts for security services around the world. He and I went to work for TC over the next year and a half, finding ourselves rooming together at the US Embassy Office in Basra, Iraq. Both of us were snipers for TC, he on the mobile side and I on fixed site. This meant that Josh was accompanying dignitaries from the US Embassy during meetings off our compound with various officials of the Iraqi government. These were typically at some large building somewhere in the city with a title of, “Ministry of (whatever)” on the front. My job was to help manage the physical security of the embassy grounds, including a 140-man Peruvian guard force, while also performing the sniper job on the property. As summer 2006 rolled in, the activity level of the insurgency increased: their rocket and mortar attacks became more frequent and with higher volume, we experienced small arms fire from small groups of fighters from across a river, and a very small number of Iraqi workers who came and went from our compound actually disappeared. It got to the point where all mobile operations where our diplomats traveled outside the walls, ceased. The only meetings allowed to be held were now conducted only at the US Embassy Office and those Iraqi officials requesting a meeting had to come to us. Our workforce inside the compound effectively doubled with all the mobile guys now participating in fixed site security. And because of this, Josh and I spent more time together working.

Because we were also roommates, we got to actually know each other. I knew his wife’s name and heard her voice when they talked. He learned the same about me. We talked about kids and future ambitions and what we wanted to do with the money we were making as contractors. We conducted training on the small range we had at the back of the compound and drove to Kuwait once to zero rifles at longer distances. I got to know Josh as a man and a human, not as just a callsign (Smosh) or a voice at the other end of a radio. I bought a hunting bow online and had the whole kit shipped to me there, arrows, target, and all. He thought I was fucking crazy but we all did somewhat outlandish things in order to stave off boredom and mischief. We hit the gym; A LOT. Everyone was getting damned strong because all we had there was a gym, a chow hall, and a bed. It’s not like we could go to a movie or hit a bar on the weekends. We found entertainment in what we could do, what we could control, and what we could get away with.

Spring of ’07 I rotated home. Typically we’d spend 3 months in-country with one month home. This time around I decided I wasn’t going back unless I absolutely had to, the emotional toll being too great on my wife, a pile of young children, and me. So I went back to my actual career and applied to the Phoenix Police Dept for the 2nd time in my life. Actually, it was the PD in Tempe AZ I specifically applied to but I was aggressively recruited into Phoenix by a retired Marine Master Sergeant and Phoenix PD Lt. with a mission of grabbing returning Jarheads by the neck once we got there. I had a very small window to get hired before having to go back to Iraq and somehow, they got it done. The Marine Corps Mafia was alive and well, both within the Phoenix Police Dept and in the civilian communities of the Phoenix valley.

Josh stayed on with TC for another 9 years and wound up instructing for them in Louisiana. He returned to Iraq several times and rose to the equivalent of Battalion Cmdr as the Project Manager at the Baghdad worksite. Following his time with TC, Josh made it home for good and joined the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office where he spent the next 4 years as a firearms instructor, narcotics agent, and swat team member. There’s no doubt he used all he’d learned overseas, both in combat and as a contractor, to rise quickly as an incredible resource. Kudos to EBRSO for recognizing what they had in front of them: the goofy tall dude with a disarming smile and accent but who possessed experience and leadership ability they had probably never seen before. Josh is (still) someone I’d take 2 steps back from and shoot 3 times before tying up with. But he’s also the guy I’d follow through a door without question. The photos of him in a bump helmet and life vest while burning around the southern Louisiana waterways with a rifle are inspiring and joyous. I see life and gratitude in his eyes when I look at those pictures. There’s the embrace of being home and a well-adjusted air about him, probably in good part due to the relief that there weren’t things inside him to fight. Going to combat and/or living within an active combat zone takes its toll (as we all know) but none of us knows exactly how we’re going to respond to it, what we’re going to bring back, or what, however small, is going to put up a fight. There’s a lot of anxiety waiting to see what rears its ugly head, and how it might affect those we love. Josh was relieved, at least to a degree, that whatever he brought home with him was manageable. It’s clearly evident in his eyes and smile.

His run with EBRSO didn’t last long and he found himself once again headed to the middle east, this time to Amman, Jordan. It’s funny how this hell hole literally on the other side of the world and with whom we could not be more culturally different from, draws us back like some kind of karmatic fucking magnet. I know: that’s not even a word but it’s accurate nonetheless. A different security company needed a director of training there and he fit the bill. He also fell in love there, with a kitten. Yeah, you read that right, a fucking cat. Josh jumped through all the hoops, filled out all the paperwork, and made all the calls in order to bring some pussy home to the US on a commercial flight. I guess that makes it, a legal resident?? “Mr. Fred” resides with him in his apartment to this day: who knew… He’s flat-faced, has a porn-stache, and his whiskers point straight out the front of his face. Josh loves the damned thing and has a picture of him as the lock screen on his phone.

This brings us to within a year of this writing. His last work was chasing executive protection details around the US and it was during this time that he developed some health problems and was misdiagnosed last May. That has since turned into stage 4 colon and liver cancer. Shit got real, real fast. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment, both infusion and oral. He’s had 4 infusions and he’s been responding well to it: his docs are scheduling liver surgery within the month followed by more to address his colon and lymphatic system. It helps tremendously that Josh is in excellent physical, psychological, and emotional shape. Never one to let any of those things slide, he maintained his fitness through his previous symptoms and kept working as if it would all pass. This is paying dividends now and his treatment has been aggressive. In my own speaking with medical professionals, most of whom I’m very close with, some of this positivity is likely a coping mechanism. There is sure to exist a certain degree of fear in facing something that can kill him but that he cannot see or actively fight in front of him, with his hands and all his acquired skills. There’s a loss of control as if all he can do is wait and hope. But therein lies his biggest ally, his greatest strength: his Faith. Josh is a convicted Christian man. It is important to him and sustains him in his most difficult and highest-consequence mission to date. And while he may be coping with all of this harsh realization and percentages and alternate outcomes to the life he had planned only 4 months ago, he also knows that at the end of the day his book has already been written, despite the fear that may accompany it. He has trust. Trust in the God that brought him home from Kosovo and Iraq, multiple times. Trust in the gift of watching his boys turn into men and enlist in the US Army, one of them giving him a grandson and granddaughter. Trust in the outpouring of support coming directly from the men he’s fought alongside and whom have all placed their lives in each other’s hands. Josh believes and knows he is loved. There is no rifle he’s ever shouldered as powerful as this one.

If some of this has touched your heart or caused your own reflection to stare you in the face, I encourage you to help Josh yourself. He represents thousands of humans in this country alone who face these circumstances every year so think of this as an opportunity. This is a way to demonstrate the phrase, “thank you for you service.” IN NO WAY is this a guilt trip, a tactic to play on your heartstrings, or a way to say this is anyone’s obligation. I am asking for your help, for you to give. But there is no judgement here. Josh is a very dear and close friend and despite the less-than-awesome circumstances he finds himself in, it is important to me that you know who he is.
