Venus in Fur @ Salt Lake Acting Company (9/25-10/27 SLC)

Salt Lake Acting Company is thrilled to open the 2013/2014 season with the Tony Award nominated, scintillating, smart and sensual VENUS IN FUR by the always brilliant and hilarious David Ives, running September 25 – October 27, 2013. The lines between reality and fantasy are blurred when the determined, uninhibited actress Vanda wiles her way into an audition for Thomas, the young, writer-director of a new play. Power, masochism and seduction abound in this sexy, hilarious, unforgettable play that the New York Post proclaims is “Fantastically funny!”

Although incredibly funny, Venus In Fur is more than just a laugh, it is mysterious and intriguing. The audience along with the two characters on stage, are pulled back and forth from the 21st century reality of a stark rehearsal room to the lush and tense world of the 19th century play within the play. The psychosexual games between Thomas and Vanda unfold as the play ebbs and flows. This play is 90 minutes of humor, excitement and eroticism that should not be missed. Salt Lake Acting Company loves to give local theatre audiences an experience they can’t find anywhere else in Utah and with Venus In Fur this will be delivered in a deliciously sexy way.

Playwright David Ives, a SLAC favorite, has infused his signature wit, intelligence and fantastical creativity to the enticingly erotic Venus In Fur. This will be the fourth play of Ives’ that SLAC has produced, having previously presented Polish JokeMere Mortals and the extremely popular, All In The TimingVenus In Fur had a hugely successful run on and off Broadway, leading to two Tony Award nominations. SLAC has been longing to produce Venus In Fur for Utah audiences and couldn’t be happier to be doing so this September. The excitement over this show is already permeating throughout Salt Lake City theatre lovers and tickets will be selling out fast!

DAVID IVES is probably best known for his evenings of one-act comedies called All In The Timing and Time Flies. All In The Timing won the Outer Critics Circle Playwriting Award, ran for two years Off-Broadway, and in the 1995-96 season was the most performed play in the country after Shakespeare productions. His full-length plays include the Tony-nominated Venus In Fur; New Jerusalem: The Interrogation of Baruch de Spinoza, which won the prestigious Hull-Warriner Award; Is He Dead? (adapted from Mark Twain);Irving Berlin's White Christmas; Polish Joke; and Ancient History. He has translated Feydeau's classic farce A Flea In Her Ear as well as Yazmina Reza's drama A Spanish Play, and his translation/adaptation of Pierre Corneille's The Liar premieres this spring at Washington's Shakespeare Theatre Company. He is also the author of three young-adult novels, Monsieur Eek,Scrib, and Voss. A graduate of Yale School of Drama and a former Guggenheim Fellow in playwriting, he lives in New York City.

TRACY CALLAHAN Sixteen years ago Tracy directed her first show at SLAC, David Ives’  Mere Mortals…coincidence? Former SLAC directing credits include Manning UpCourse 86 B In The CatalogueSix Years, and How I Learned to Drive. She is a freelance director in the Salt Lake Area where she has had the opportunity to direct for Plan-B Theatre and Dark Horse Theatre Company.  Tracy is the Head of the Acting and Directing Program at Weber State University where she has directed over 30 productions. Two of her productions have been chosen to be presented at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington DC and several others have been selected to travel to various theatre festivals regionally.

PATRICK KINTZ (Thomas) returns to the stage at SLAC, after playing John C. Calhoon last fall in Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson.  A graduate of Brigham Young University with a BA in Theatre Studies, he has also studied at Utah Valley University and most recently with Steppenwolf Classes West.  Recent credits include John Proctor in The Crucible (UVU); Benjamin in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (Sundance Summer Theatre); Actor in The Woman In Black (Echo Theatre); Bishop Egerton in Joyful Noise; and David/Jacob inThe Plan (Covey Center).

Cheyenne Big Boots

To raise money for the Cheyenne Depot Museum, local businesses sponsored the painting of nineteen eight-foot high cowboy boots.

»Merci Train

Merci Train

During the world wars of the 20th century, hundreds of thousands of men traveled in train boxcars to and from the battlefields of Europe. Unventilated and without seats, forty men were squeezed into each car, which had no toilets or provisions for food and drink. Many lasting memories of the war involve these train rides. In 1948, the United States sent 700 boxcars full of supplies to the poor and hungry of France, and in 1949, the French people filled 49 boxcars with exquisite gifts to the United States, and one was sent to each state. Wyoming’s boxcar is now situated in the parking lot of an American Legion branch, under a shelter, and lovingly painted, a memorial of suffering and international friendship. A sign is posted to aid visitors, and some of the contents of the car can be seen at the Wyoming State Museum.

Bolster Bedtime with a Better Bedroom

Earlier this year, the National Sleep Foundation published the results of their first ever Bedtime Poll.  The findings show that the key to getting a good night’s sleep may be building a better bedroom.  By looking at the preferences of respondents in terms of mattresses, pillows, sheets, and scents, researchers were able to identify some areas where your bedroom may be helping you sleep or keeping you up at night.

Participants in the poll were asked a series of questions over the phone related to their sleeping habits and preferences.  The most significant findings were that when it comes to our bedrooms, comfort and cleanliness are the keys.  As a group, we prefer sleeping in our bedrooms to anywhere else, including high quality hotels.  We agree on the most important factors for getting a good night sleep almost unanimously across age, gender, and race.  When it comes to bedtime, the little things can make a big difference.

Of the 1500 people who participated in the poll, 90% felt that having the right mattress and pillows were important to getting a good night sleep.  We prefer clean sheets that are soft and inviting, and the condition of our sheets can change our attitude about sleeping.  Most of us, more than 75%, feel strongly that our bedding has an impact on the quality of our sleep.  Almost half of us feel more positive about going to sleep if our sheets smell fresh and clean.

When it comes to getting the sleep we need, small things can mean the difference between a good night and a bad night.  People are more likely to go to bed on time and are more excited to go to bed if the sheets on their bed are clean.  People who make their bed are 19% more likely to get a good night’s sleep than those who do not make their bed.

We all feel that many of the same factors are crucial to getting a good night sleep.  The highest rated factors were having a bedroom with a cool consistent temperature that had an adequate supply of fresh air circulating throughout the room.  More than 70% of us also prefer a dark, quiet room and feel that these conditions are optimal for getting the sleep we need.  We also sleep better in a clean space and 66% of us believe that a clean room contributes to a good night’s sleep.

Client Reviews

"Great staff, they make you feel so at home. Every medical facility should be this nice. Felt like a nice hotel. Someone has great taste in decorating. Thanks for making us feel at home."

"I recommend them highly!! I took my 2 year old daughter for a sleep study and was very impressed. Our sleep technician was amazing with her, very patient and kind. The DVD we brought to watch while getting her hooked up got stuck in the TV and they vowed to return it. We got a call the next day checking on our daughter and saying how sweet she was, they mentioned the DVD. Several days later, we received the DVD plus a new copy of the Lion King with a nice note. They are very good at what they do and if they can make a 2 year old feel at ease, they can probably do the same with anyone!!"

Anthea S.

"I was especially impressed with Andrew the Respiratory Therapist who reviewed my study with me and answered my questions. Andrew thoroughly explained everything about the Cpap machine-from start to finish. I never felt rushed and was assured I could contact him with any additional questions or needs. Andrew told me he would follow up with a call in a week and he did. I believe this center performed the study appropriately and the added benefit of having Andrew teach me about the machine and what to expect was a bonus."

Sylvester Stallone promises a punch up with Jean Claude Van Damme

  September 15, 2011

It's a question that has plagued pubs for centuries - who would win a fight between Sylvester Stallone and Jean Claude Van Damme? Well, when The Expendables 2 arrives in cinemas next year, there will finally be an answer.

Jean Claude Van Damme, affectionately referred to as The Muscles From Brussels by movie fans, is the latest big name to sign up to the sequel to last year's Expendables.

The film's star and writer, Sylvester Stallone told Entertainment Weekly: 'We'll have a big showdown between me and Van Damme, which has been anticipated for a long time, so it should be a good one.'

The Rambo star is not directing the follow up to last year's hit action fim, and instead it will be Con Air director Simon West yelling action.

Other names thought to be joining the project, which follows a gang of middle aged mercenaries on a blood soaked fight for justice, include Chuck Norris and Nicolas Cage.

In the interview, Sly explained that he wanted to cram as many action stars in to the film as possible.

'We're trying to work out different scenarios. I like using people that had a moment and then maybe have fallen on some hard times and give them another shot,' he said.

He mentioned Michael Biehn who starred as Kyle Reese in James Cameron's 1987 Terminator, and Michael Pare, who made his name in a series of schlocky sci-fi films, as the kind of actors he'd consider working with.

'I like those kinds of guys. Someone did it for me and I like to see if I can do it for them,' he added.

'We also need some new blood in there, a Navy SEAL-type, because with the Expendables none of them have 20-20 vision anymore. They need some help, man.'

Perhaps this help will come from another prospective member of the cast, John Travolta.

'It's possible,' said Sly. 'The one thing I've learned is what is a fact on Monday is a complete fallacy on Tuesday. A lot of it is scheduling.

Earlier this week, Jason Statham revealed he would soon be heading to Bulgaria to reprise his role for the sequel.

'Fire at Sea' Director Gianfranco Rosi
Photo by Kristina Bumphrey/StarPix/REX/Shutterstock

Since winning last year’s Berlin Film Festival Golden Bear, the refugee documentary “Fire at Sea” has gone on to nab a European Film Award, and is up for best documentary at the Oscars. The film, directed by Italian Gianfranco Rosi, is set on the tiny Sicilian island of Lampedusa, which thousands of mostly African refugees are still risking their lives to reach.

Rosi spoke to Variety about the fact that, sadly, “Fire” has not had much impact on the official response to the migrant crisis, though having Meryl Streep as a big fan and reaching audiences in 64 countries has helped raise awareness. Excerpts from the interview:

You had previously won the Golden Lion in Venice with “Sacro GRA” before winning in Berlin with “Fire.” So winning at a top festival was not a novelty. But with this film you seem to have embarked on a much bigger journey.

It’s been incredible. Thanks to Berlin, and more recently the Oscar nomination, the film has become like a big raft boarded by people from all over the world. I don’t think it has a message, but it’s been generating an awareness, and this has grown along the way. When I was at the New York Film Festival in September, there was a different perception of the film than there is now. It’s become more political now, probably because the film, beyond being political in itself, is becoming even more engrained in the political climate that we are all breathing.

Has “Fire” helped improve the plight of refugees in Europe?

It has generated awareness, but this is still a drop in the ocean. I know that it was shown at the European Parliament and, alas, a few days later the E.U. did the deal with Turkey [to stem the flow of refugees into Europe]. It screened in the U.K. a week before the Brexit vote, and one of the reasons for Brexit was precisely immigration. So I can’t say in the least that my film can change the course of history, but I’d like to think that it can increase individual awareness. It’s important when people walk out of a screening of my film and ask me: ‘What can I do?’ That’s a victory.

Meryl Streep, who headed the Berlin jury, is a big fan of “Fire at Sea.” I know she hosted a special screening of the film in New York in November. Do you think she has also helped raise this awareness?

She has certainly supported the film very much, but by also underlining its artistic aspect. It all started with Meryl Streep’s voice in Berlin when she read the jury statement which said that, beyond the film’s social and political content, it also had a strong [purely] cinematic value. The fact that she pointed that out was crucial for me because I want the film to hold up in the future beyond its current topicality.

What was your reaction to Trump’s executive order? I read that you attended the travel ban protest at LAX.

I landed at LAX from Tokyo and what really struck me was the look of terror in the eyes of people there. The question I asked myself is: ‘What does it mean when America, which has always been the beacon of freedom, walks out on history?’ America has never had walls or barriers. It’s shocking to see people with a green card, people who live in America, who love America, become terrified. But what scares me the most are not physical walls, but the mental walls that are going up in both Europe and America.

“Fire at Sea” takes a very indirect approach to the refugees topic. It largely looks at the situation through the eyes of the island’s residents, especially the young boy Samuele, who is the son of a fisherman, and Pietro Bartolo, the only medical doctor on Lampedusa. How did you balance social conscience with your unique narrative and visual style?

All my films start with an encounter, first off with a physical place that has a very strong connotation. Lampedusa was already a symbol of the refugee crisis. Within that place, I met and chose some characters and established a very strong rapport with them. The story is told through the interior worlds of these characters who have a very strong bond with the past, with rituals, with something ancestral, with a very strong archetype. So I wanted Samuele and all the characters to become universal and Lampedusa to become almost a metaphor, a place in your consciousness. There is plenty of poetry in these characters. That’s what I’m interested in: to be able to transform reality into something else, not just observe it.

Do you think the boundaries between documentaries and narrative feature films are coming down?

Yes, I think what’s happening to documentaries is incredible. For the first time in such a deliberate way they are being released theatrically and they have an audience. All five Oscar-nominated docs have been released theatrically [in the U.S.] and have found an audience. We are no longer ghettoized. This is a wonderful victory, and I think it’s unprecedented.

Carotid Artery Disease

Carotid Artery Disease StatisticsCarotid arteryCarotid artery disease is defined by the narrowing or blockage of the carotid artery due to the build-up of plaque (which is a deposit of cholesterol, calcium, and other cells in the artery wall). The carotid arteries are on each side of your neck and carry oxygen-rich blood from your heart to your head and brain.

Over time, this narrowing may lead to a blockage which decreases blood flow to the brain and may cause a stroke. A stroke can also occur if a piece of plaque or a blood clot breaks off from the wall of the carotid artery and travels to the smaller arteries of the brain impeding blood flow to that area.
The brain survives on a continuous supply of oxygen and glucose carried to it by blood. Cells deprived of fresh blood for more than a few minutes will be damaged, a condition known as "ischemia," or the brain cells may die, a condition known as "infarction." When blood flow to the brain is blocked, the result is sometimes called an "ischemic event." This could be a stroke, which is permanent loss of brain function, or a "transient ischemic attack" (or TIA), which implies a temporary alteration of brain function. Brain damage can be permanent if this lack of blood flow lasts for more than three to six hours.

The risk factors for carotid artery disease are similar to the risk factors for PAD and coronary heart disease. They include:

  • Family history of atherosclerosis (build-up of plaque in the peripheral, coronary, or carotid arteries)
  • Age (Men have a higher risk before age 75. Women have a higher risk after age 75.)
  • Smoking
  • Hypertension
  • Diabetes
  • High cholesterol, and especially high amounts of low density lipoprotein (or LDL, the "bad" form of cholesterol)

Most importantly, if you have an atherosclerotic artery disease such as PAD or coronary heart disease, you are at high risk for carotid artery disease and stroke.

Warning Signs

As for all artery diseases, often there are no symptoms for carotid artery disease in its early stages. Unfortunately, the first obvious sign could be a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or mini-stroke, or even a stroke. Symptoms for a stroke or TIA are similar and may include the following:

  • Confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
  • Blurring, dimming, or loss of vision
  • The inability to normally move an arm or leg
  • Weakness, numbness or a tingling sensation in a part of the body, such as the face, an arm or a leg, especially on one side of the body
  • Trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
  • A sudden severe headache

The difference between a stroke and a TIA is that the symptoms of a TIA are not permanent and can last from a few minutes to 24 hours. A TIA is a very powerful warning sign that you are at serious risk of a stroke in the near future. A TIA, like stroke, should be treated as a medical emergency.

Treatment & Prevention

If you have any degree of narrowing of a carotid artery or any history of stroke or TIA, you should quit the use of all tobacco products immediately, control your high blood pressure, normalize your blood cholesterol by diet and medications, lose weight if overweight, and exercise regularly. Treatments for carotid artery disease include the following:

Medications: Several medications may be prescribed to prevent further progression of the disease and to reduce the effect of contributing factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.

Endovascular procedureEndovascular treatments are the least invasive and involve inserting a catheter into the artery in the groin and guiding it through your blood vessels to the carotid artery. Angioplasty may be done to open blockages by using a small balloon introduced with a catheter into an artery. The balloon is inflated and, as it inflates, it stretches and opens the artery for improved blood flow. A metallic device called a “stent” can then be inserted to maintain the expanded artery, thereby improving blood flow to the limb. This procedure’s safety and efficacy continues to be studied in several medical centers. Other treatments include laser atherectomy, where small bits of plaque are vaporized by the tip of a laser probe, and directional atherectomy, in which a catheter with a rotating cutting blade is used to physically remove plaque from the artery.

Surgery may be recommended for individuals with severe blockages of the carotid artery (usually at least 60 to 70% blockage). This procedure, called a carotid endarterectomy, removes the plaque from inside the artery wall and restores the blood flow to normal. Generally, it is performed through a small incision and, in many cases, under regional anesthesia.

Matron grows vegetables and fruit in a courtyard garden. Which edibles will tolerate less than ideal growing conditions. Discovering how veggies can grow in partial shade.

Monday, June 12, 2006

One of my favourite words is FECUNDITY. It sums up everything I love about growing food to eat. Just imagine walking through the fruit orchard at Wisley, and the trees are laden with stuff like this! This is why I grow my own.

I planted out my sweet potatoes today. They had a massive root system inside the pots already, very healthy and growing several new leaves every day. I snipped a cross in the black plastic and dug them into a hole. Scorching hot today, my thermometer was 90degrees in the shade. PHEW! Posted by Picasa

VIDEO: The Black Devil of Moscow Obliterates Rush Hour on Yamaha R1

The Black Devil of Moscow - Motorcycle Run on Yamaha R1

Owning a bike like the Yamaha R1 immediately temps one to throw common sense and rational thought out the window, replaced with sheer adrenaline and a fearless kamikaze attitude. But that doesn't mean one should give in... That said, most motorcycle riders fall somewhere along the continuum between safe and cautious and sheer insanity. Our comrad in Moscow, featured in this video, is very much in the latter camp.

Lane splitting is common place in cities such as LA (where it is legal), but even the most confident bikers take head during rush hour traffic, waiting patiently for the opportune time to make a go. This guy takes things to a whole 'nother level of the game, even rolling between outbound and inbound traffic. Toss in a few wheelies for good measure, a couple mirror taps and a wanton disregard for the laws of probability and we have an amazing video. Seeing is believing... Check it out after the jump.

There's a much better fake 'Chorus' effect I think in one of my latest 'Donkey Kong Land Construction Site' MIDIs, where I've copied the channels, added the 64th note rest, but I've also made the 'normal' channels panned left, and the 'chorused' channels panned right. Just to add a little more 'chorus' effect, I've bent the pitch of the 'chorused' channels by about a quarter to a half of a semi tone (or 1/8 - 1/4 of a tone).

Sonic the Hedgehog 3

A Platform game game by Sonic Team and Sega Technical Institute in the Sonic the Hedgehog series.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 box art

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is a 1994 platform video game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. It was developed in the United States by members of Sonic Team working at Sega Technical Institute, and was published by Sega, debuting worldwide in the first half of 1994. The game is a sequel to Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and follows on directly from the end of the game, in which Sonic defeated his enemy, Dr. Eggman; crash-landing on a floating island, Sonic encounters new character Knuckles the Echidna, and must once more retrieve the Chaos Emeralds while also working to stop Dr. Eggman from relaunching his ship, the Death Egg.

The game is closely tied to its direct sequel Sonic & Knuckles, as the two games were originally one until time constraints and cartridge costs forced the game to be split into two interlocking parts.

Video Game Connection - Museum : Panasonic Q

Review Submitted by Terry Herman (marriott_guy)

During the development of their GameCube gaming system, Nintendo partnered with Matsushita-owned Panasonic to manufacture the disc drive for their console.  As part of this agreement, a license was issued to Panasonic to be able to utilize the base GameCube software technology for their own system, if they chose to do so.  Needless to say, Panasonic decided to exercise this contract clause and released one of the most visually attractive hardware units of all time - the Panasonic Q.  Debuting just three months after its parent in December, 2001, this system ultimately proved that the old adage "looks aren't everything" was true - especially if not priced correctly.

Released exclusively in Japan, the Panasonic Q was developed to address the fact that the GameCube's main competitors, the Sony Playstation 2 and shortly after the Microsoft Xbox, supported DVD movie playback out of the box while Nintendo did not incorporate this feature into its machine.  Hoping to capitalize on this supposed oversight, the Panasonic Q was born.  This was Nintendo's second attempt at licensing game hardware technology to a third party manufacturer, the first being the Sharp Twin Famicom.  The initial venture did not prove to be successful for neither Nintendo nor Sharp.  History would once again repeat itself with this new partnership with Matsushita.

As stated earlier, the Panasonic Q is one of the most striking consoles ever released.  Sporting a mirrored front facing with a scratch-protective coating, the overall design is extremely advanced and crisp.  Soft-touch buttons line the respective left and right sides and give quick access to sound, game and other options.  The subtle but tasteful use of the Panasonic label is centered at the top of the main interface, with a smooth front loading DVDGC hybrid player residing just below.  Four controller ports, accented with neon ice-blue lighting around their circumference, are featured across the front of the unit with two standard GameCube memory card slots lying in unison just below.  All button, port labeling and compatibility logos (DVD, CD, DTS, GameCube, and Dolby), are detailed in pure white and are surprising easy to read against the reflective background.  Standard DVD buttons and controls are located on the top of the unit, along with the most stunning feature of the Panasonic Q - the backlit LCD display.  This message center has a futuristic look and provides relevant data (mostly on DVD play).  The 'Hello' and 'Goodbye' sequence that is displayed when powering onoff the system is also a nice touch that further exemplifies the extra care that was put into it's design.

Technically, the gaming hardware in the Panasonic Q is identical to the Nintendo GameCube.  There are literally no variations - please see the overview of the Nintendo GameCube for these details.  That being said, owners of the Panasonic Q will enjoy the following audio enhancements over their GameCube brethren: Dialog Enhancer, Cinema, Surround and Bass Plus.  All of these audio modes modify or boost a respective frequency to produce subtle if not unremarkable effects during game and DVD play.  These options do not have level adjustment or customizable settings that can be modified.  This is unfortunate but really not that important considering that most televisions at the time incorporated these features anyway.

Matsushita's marketing plan was to develop a DVD player with gaming capabilities, rather than just producing a video game console.  The Panasonic Q hit the mark in this area with a DVD player that exceeded the industry standards of the time.  While lacking the bells and whistles of some of the higher-end players available, DVD playback is extremely detailed, displayed in bold and vibrant colors.  The included DVD remote is easy to use (though all text is in Japanese) and contains the basic playback controls.  At the time, the DVD player performance of the Sony Playstation 2 and Microsoft Xbox paled in comparison.  There is another bonus feature in this area - region free game and movie support.  The first model only supported NTSC Region 2 disks and Japanese-released GameCube software.  After a very short period of time, a second model was made available that fully supported NTSC Regions 1 through 6 as well as USA game disks.  Unfortunately, there was no official PAL released unit and VCD playback is also not supported.

While the advantages of owning the Panasonic Q over the Nintendo GameCube are significant, the decision to purchase one was not an easy task in 2001.  The first release debuted at $439 USD (equivalent to $545 USD in 2007) and the multi-region version could be yours for $499 ($635 USD in 2007).  This price point severely limited the potential buying market, especially since the GameCube and a separate DVD player could be purchased for less.

With excellent DVD playback, multi-region media support, audio enhancements and its stylish look, the Panasonic Q is a definite upgrade to its Nintendo GameCube parent.  Since the system was released in limited quantities, be prepared to spend a good amount to acquire one.  A CIB (complete in box) unit will cost you around $200 to $300 dependant upon condition.  Compare this to being to get a comparable GameCube system for around $20.  If you are just looking for a video game console, the advantages of the Panasonic Q really can not be justified.  For the collector, this system will definitely stand out on your gaming shelves.

Time for summer reruns

WashPost: "Obama suggests economic fundamentals are strong, an argument John McCain once made."  To much ridicule by the 2008 Obama campaign.  This is what happens when you go off-teleprompter.

I was home today and caught Obama's press conference and I was less-struck by his obvious gaffe than by the same-ole-same-ole feeling: "oh, that darn Congress" and "headwinds in Europe."  On that score, Victor Davis Hanson has it right: "He cannot outline a vision of economic recovery without blaming someone or something for his current problems."

Extra - Commentary: "Team Obama's third-rate performance."

More - From Q&O.

Flashback - This is from National Journal in February: "Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg is out with a must-read polling memo this morning, which offers some eye-opening advice to President Obama and his re-election team.  After testing several of the president's economic messages, he finds the argument that the economy is back on the right track polls miserably - and "produces disastrous results."

This is Team Romney's most game-changing "context, shmontext" excerpt since “......if we keep talking about the economy, we’re going to lose.” It's Quotemageddon!

Long-Term Gun Storage
There is a saying that goes, “If it’s time to bury your guns, then its time to dig them up.” Some say that if you hide your gun off-site, it becomes useless. Either way, if you plan to store your gun for the long-term, you need to make sure you have pre-treated it properly and prepared your storage area properly to prevent rust from ruining your weapon. Whether you’re choosing to store your hunting rifle at home until the next season, storing a gun collection or preparing for the future, preparing the weapons beforehand is done the same way.

Gun Storage Containers

First, you must make sure you have the proper storage container. Do not use the original cardboard box of your gun or any cardboard box. Further, do not use foam or sheep skinned-lined cases. Cardboard, sheep skin and foam all attract moisture. A silicon-treated gun sock, gun storage bags, or any gun safe is your best bet if you are keeping your gun at home. You can also wrap your gun in kitchen wax paper instead of a bag or a sock. If you choose this method, make sure no parts are sticking out, wrap it mummy-style and secure with masking tape. If you are going to be using a gun safe, store your long guns barrel down so that no oil can seep into the stock or other parts of the gun.

Hoppe’s “Guide to Gun Care” says that any moisture will start the rusting process within 24 hours. Moisture can also cause your stock to crack. Put desiccant in your safe or in any bag you put your weapon in to prevent moisture build-up.

Preparing For Storage

Break down your gun as much as you can. Keep the gun decocked to relieve tension on springs and other parts, or remove hammer springs, firing pin springs and recoil springs. Remove all fingerprints from your gun using Outer’s silicone gun and reel cloth or a cloth with Break-Free CLP. Copper, lead, plastic and carbon will all attract moisture, so completely clean your gun, preferably with products that are ammonia-free, such as Hoppe’s Elite Gun Cleaner and Copper Terminator. Thoroughly clean out the bore of your gun and then apply a thin layer of lubrication, such as Break-Free CLP. Also apply a light coat of lubrication to other exterior metal surfaces. Birchwood Casey’s Barricade rust prevention contains metal preservatives that will leave a transparent coating to seal the surface with a protective film. Note that greases and other petroleum-based products will ruin plastic and synthetic stocks and rubber pistol grips, so apply lubrication and oils only to the metal parts of the gun.

Wood stocks need special attention. You will need to treat your wood stock with wax to prevent swelling and cracking. Birchwood Casey’s gun stock wax is safe to use on wood, metal and leather. Do not forget to wax inside the stock. Remove as much of the metal parts as you can, such as the receiver and barrel. Wax the wood under the metal and then reassemble the gun before storing.

Check your stored gun periodically, especially if you live in a humid area and re-oil if necessary.

Burying Your Weapon

If you decide to bury your weapon for a bug-out situation, preparing it for storage is just the same as illustrated above, with the exception of storing it in a gun sock. Instead, use wax paper or storage bags, such as Aloksak Weapons Storage Bags for handguns and for rifles. Underground storage takes extra steps. You will want your long-term storage container to be corrosion-and weather-proof. Get PVC or ABS pipe thick enough to store your rifle or handgun in. Seal the pipe with threaded, water-proof sealant.

Before you decide to bury your weapon/weapons, consider the following:

1.Remember your location. Will it be easy to access? Will you look suspicious burying it there or driving by to check on it? Will new construction cover it up?
2. Recovery time. Your weapon may not be in pick-up and fire condition. You will need to wipe off all excess grease. If you have prepared and stored your gun correctly, it should work when you uncover it.
3. Can others detect it? Some suggest picking an area that has metal parts lying around already, so that a metal detector may not find your rifle, but will find scrap metal instead.
