Propagation Of Rhododendrons
Raising plants from seed is the simplest propagation method, but unless you are interested only in species, the natural variation of seedlings means you will need to propagate rhododendrons vegetatively. In other words, by using parts from existing plants.
The most common vegetative method is the cutting. Small lengths of stem removed from the parent plant can be induced to develop roots if kept under controlled conditions and may then be grown as a new plant, identical to its parent.
Other common vegetative techniques include layering, aerial layering and grafting. Although the methods vary depending on the type of rhododendron being propagated, cuttings are by far the most common.
Species and new hybrids must be raised from seed, but with the exception of some of the deciduous azalea strains, seed is rarely a practical method for propagating cultivars and selected varieties as they do not reproduce true to type.
Growing rhododendrons from seed is not difficult, but depending on the type, it can take 18 months to five years before the first flowers open. Tree-sized rhododendrons may not flower until they are over eight years old. Seed may be bought, produced by hybridizing or collected from plants that have been naturally pollinated.
Determining exactly when the seed is ready to harvest is not always easy. The seed must be ripe, but leave it too late and the pods will burst and scatter the seed. Often there will be color changes or drying as the seed pods near maturity but occasionally you may have to harvest slightly unripe pods and ripen them indoors to avoid losing the seed. Tying a small paper bag over the ripening pods to catch falling seed is sometimes possible.
Sow your seed on a finely sieved 50/50 mixture of sphagnum moss and peat- or bark-based potting mix. Do not cover the seed, just sow it on the surface and gently moisten it with a fine mist. Kept lightly shaded and moist, it germinates in 10 days to six weeks depending on the type.
While dry seed keeps reasonably well, it germinates best if sown immediately after harvest, which is usually in the fall. However, unless you can keep the young seedlings protected, it is best to delay sowing until spring because fall-germinated seedlings are rather tender and may collapse over winter.
Rhododendron seeds are very fine and the young seedlings are tiny and slow growing. They are generally not suitable for sowing outdoors either in trays or the open ground and will do far better if grown under controlled conditions. Aim for high humidity, steady, even warmth (around 64°F/18°C) and give them an occasional diluted liquid feeding.
Although most seedling plants are potted once they have their first true leaves, rhododendrons are frequently too small to handle conveniently at this stage. No harm will come to them if they are left to develop in the seed tray provided their nutrient requirements are met. Rhododendron seedlings normally transplant well and establish quickly.
Most rhododendrons can be grown from cuttings, the methods varying slightly with the different styles of growth. It is vital that the cutting environment is humid because any wilting will stress the cuttings, possibly fatally.
Softwood cuttings are taken from the new growth before it has become firm and often before it is fully expanded. Softwood cuttings strike and develop quickly because they are taken from the most actively growing part of the plant. They are, however, easily damaged and prone to wilting under the slightest moisture stress.
A semi-ripe cutting is simply a softwood cutting that has matured slightly. Its foliage (apart from the extreme tip) will usually be fully expanded and the stem will be firm yet pliable. Semi-ripe cuttings are usually available from late spring until mid-fall.
Tip cuttings strike best. The size of the cutting varies with the plant being propagated and the stage of growth. Softwood cuttings are seldom more than 4 in (10 cm) long, while semi-ripe cuttings tend to be larger, typically around 6 in (15 cm), because the internodal length (the stem length between the leaves) increases as the growth matures and expands. Very small softwood cuttings, such as those of evergreen azaleas, can simply be snapped off at the base. Larger softwood and semi-ripe cuttings are removed with pruning shears and usually strike best if cut at a node.
Carefully strip the leaves from the lower nodes. Although soft cuttings are easily damaged, most leaves come away cleanly if they are removed with a quick upward action after being pulled downwards just enough to break the joint between the leaf and the stem. If the leaves of the cutting are very large, it may be necessary to trim the foliage to cut down the moisture lost through transpiration and to enable more cuttings to fit in the container or tray. The foliage can be cut back by about half.
Before inserting a cutting into the propagating mixture, dip it in rooting hormone. This is available in liquid, gel or powder form and can be varied in strength to suit the type of cutting.
Some rhododendrons are slow to strike roots. Wounding - removing a small strip of bark - by making a shallow downward cut along the side of the cutting immediately above the base, exposes a greater area of cambium (the layer of cells below the bark from which new growth occurs) which can speed up the rooting process and may also produce a better root structure. It is generally restricted to shrubby large-leafed rhododendrons and is seldom used with alpines, small-leafed rhododendrons or azaleas.
Cutting methods for various types of rhododendron
Evergreen azaleas and small-leafed alpine rhododendrons
Softwood cuttings may be taken as soon as the new spring growth is firm enough to handle. These may be very small. Cuttings can be taken right through until early fall but after early summer they will be less vigorous than those taken in spring and will not be as well-established by winter. The early cuttings will strike in about six to eight weeks under mist, or up to 12 weeks or more without mist.
Broad-leafed rhododendrons
Take semi-ripe cuttings from early summer through to mid-fall. Unless you have a misting system, it may be difficult to stop early cuttings from wilting. Those taken after mid-summer may have flower buds but remove them as they are an unwanted drain on the cuttings' limited resources.
Early cuttings may strike before winter but later ones will probably not get under way before the following spring. Mist and bottom heat will greatly accelerate root formation and increase the strike rate.
Deciduous azaleas
Some deciduous azaleas, such as true Mollis hybrids, are difficult to grow from cuttings. Others, particularly the R. occidentale hybrids, strike easily from soft to semi-ripe cuttings taken in mid- to late spring.
Deciduous azalea cuttings must strike well before winter otherwise they will probably collapse before spring. It is often best to shelter the first-year cuttings. If this is not possible, layering or aerial layering may be better methods to use.
Layering is a good way to propagate rhododendrons that are difficult to strike from cuttings, but it is slow and may take up to two years to produce results.
Low-growing rhododendrons, particularly evergreen azaleas, often self-layer where their stems touch the ground. These natural layers may be removed and potted or replanted elsewhere.
You can simulate this natural layering by keeping a stem in contact with the soil. With time, roots will form. Start by selecting a pliable stem that can be bent to ground level. Scrape out a shallow trench where the branch touches the ground. Make a shallow cut on the lower side of the stem, dust the wound with a little rooting hormone powder, then with wire hoops peg down the stem in the trench. Stake the growing tip with a bamboo cane to make it upright, then refill the trench, mounding the soil up slightly so that it doesn't sink.
Aerial layering
Start by selecting a length of firm stem that still has green bark. Older wood will strike but it takes longer. Aerial layering can be done any time such material is available. Remove the foliage from around the immediate area and make a shallow upward cut into the stem. Lift the flap of bark and wedge it open with a matchstick. Lightly dust the wound with rooting hormone powder and wrap the stem with wet sphagnum moss. Then wrap the ball of sphagnum in black polyethylene and secure it with wire ties or tape. The moss will keep the wound from drying out and healing over, and roots will eventually form at the wound. The layer will take about 10-12 months to strike well. It can be left through winter, because if the plant can survive freezing, the layer should also. However, this method has not been well-documented, so it is a case of trial and error. When it is apparent that a good root system has formed, the layer, complete with the sphagnum, may be removed and potted.
The best time to graft is when growth begins in early spring, but before the new foliage expands. Grafting requires that the cambium of the stock and scion (the variety to be grafted onto the stock) is kept in contact long enough to fuse and this involves some trimming and fitting to get a good match. The saddle graft and the side wedge are commonly used techniques.
Practice making the cuts with a few old twigs before sacrificing any valuable plants. Bind the stock and scion together with grafting tape if you have it, otherwise plumber's thread tape or adhesive tape will do. This is awkward at first but you'll soon get the idea.
To keep the freshly grafted plants growing and to prevent drying out, keep them in a warm, humid environment. Fill a shallow tray with gravel, then pour in water until it's just level with the surface of the gravel. Sit the pots on the gravel and the water will ensure that the atmosphere remains humid. If the tray can be covered with a plastic tent, so much the better. Grafts in the garden should be covered with a plastic bag, making sure that the bag cannot dislodge the graft if it moves in the wind. Once the scion is growing well and the graft has callused over, the tape can be slit or removed. Don't leave this too long or you may find the tape starts to cut into the stem.

Congressman Tim Ryan talks to boxing legend and Youngstown native Ray 'Boom Boom' Mancini at Ryan's first presidential campaign rally held in downtown Youngstown. Ryan joked he would hire Mancini as his White House secretary.
Ryan spoke for about 20 minutes before an enthusiastic crowd on the city street, right in front of the Youngstown Business Incubator that he's championed in recent years. Aside from a couple of pro-President Trump signs, it was a sea of red, white and blue shirts and placards with Ryan's "Our Future Is Now" slogan.
The nine-term congressman said he's running because the country has become too polarized in recent years, and that's impacted the economy as well. Ryan said he hopes to emulate President John F. Kennedy, the namesake of the Warren high school from which Ryan graduated, who had a clear vision for America.
In his speech, Ryan discussed both the nation's challenges and the ones specific to the Mahoning Valley, such as Black Monday – when a large portion of Youngstown Sheet and Tubing closed -- and the idling of the GM Lordstown plant.
In 2017, Trump held a rally in Youngstown and told the audience that jobs would be coming back to the region. Ryan has been critical of the president in the wake of GM's announcement last year that it would end production of the Lordstown-built Chevy Cruze.
Ryan is spending part of this week in Iowa and is also slated to hold a town hall in New Hampshire on Thursday.
Congressman Tim Ryan (D-Niles) has joined the race for the Democratic nomination for president. Ryan made his announcement on the ABC television program "The View." Ryan is viewed as a political moderate. He was asked how he'll appeal to the progressive wing of the party.

The storm makeup days will be Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 25-26, 2019. If not needed to make up days lost to a storm, they will be days off for students.
The Collier County School Board voted Tuesday to increase the number of hurricane makeup days from one to two for the 2019-20 school year.
The last time Collier County Public Schools included two hurricane days in case of a storm was in the 2010-11 school year.
Hurricane Irma in September had a severe impact on Collier public schools, 29 of which were used as hurricane shelters.
All 52 schools in the district reported water intrusion, downed trees and blown-off exhaust hoods. Forty schools sustained roof damage, and 38 required ceiling, wall or other repairs.
Schools were closed for 11 academic days as workers cleaned, made repairs and waited for power to be restored. Students lost five vacation days.
The 2019-20 hurricane makeup days will be Nov. 25 and 26. If the days are not needed to make up for class time lost to inclement weather, students will have them off as part of Thanksgiving break.
The dates differ from the original dates proposed by the school district's calendar committee. The committee's proposed calendar included Nov. 1 and 11 as hurricane makeup days.
As part of Thursday's vote on the 2019-20 school calendar, the School Board voted unanimously to move the committee's proposed first day of classes from Aug. 14 to Aug. 13 and to make Sept. 30 a day off to observe Rosh Hashana, the Jewish new year.
The calendar committee's proposal did not include Rosh Hashana as a holiday. Rosh Hashana was used as a hurricane makeup day in 2017.
Tammy Strohl-Samuel, a parent in the district, addressed the board, expressing her disappointment. She said she has petitioned the board on many occasions to include the day as a holiday.

The CerebralFix Group partners with Xarcade to launch the first Match 3 game on the NEM blockchain
Westport, West Coast, New Zealand, June 18, 2018: The CerebralFix Group, gaming studios that work with Disney, DreamWorks and the BBC, are pleased to announce a partnership with Xarcade, a platform leveraging the power of the NEM blockchain to liberate gaming, to create web and mobile games for the NEM community. In particular, CerebralFix is delighted to announce that they are working on the platforms first Match 3 game with an initial web launch at www.gamefix.io in 8 days time.
"We feel that the blockchain can materially change the face of gaming in a great way for both the players and the creators" said Benjamin Dellaca, Group Director for CerebralFix, "and we are excited to begin working with Xarcade because we believe in their vision for our space."
The title Match'NEM will have a continual release program launching 10 new levels each week over an 8 week period. Levels are expected to resonate various product, personalities and events happening around the NEM blockchain and it is expected that community suggestions and ideas will also be worked into the theming of the various releases. Additionally, mobile versions will be released over time.
"It's really exciting to have CerebralFix on board and we are very pleased that we will have another game for our community to engage with so early in our program." said Otto von Nostitz, Co-Founder and CEO of Xarcade.
Initially launching without Xarcade's platform, it is expected that its feature set will be rapidly deployed during the 8 weeks of updates giving players a fun way to earn XAR. XAR being a cryptocurrency that keeps a constant value equal to Euro. XAR is tradeable for Euros, USD and various other currencies. By playing Xarcade-powered games like Match'NEM, players have the ability to earn income as they play. Players can also spend XAR's on ingame items.
NEM Foundation's Expansion Director for Australia and New Zealand, Jason Lee said, "we are proud to support cross-border strategic partnerships with the CerebralFix Group based in New Zealand and Xarcade based in South East Asia in building the blockchain ecosystem in the area of the gaming sector. NEM will continue to bridge complementary strengths between innovative companies like these"

Is Battlefield V a good game?
There has been a lot of controversy about Battlefield V since the first trailer came out. Many people are not a huge fan of EA because of some major mistakes they have made with their games. Since the Battlefield series is made by EA, some people don't even give it a chance.
Battlefield is probably one of the best series of FPS games out there. If you are looking for a game with tons of vehicles and weapons in a huge open map, then Battlefield V is definitely for you. It's not like the other Battlefield games however, because of the different healing and death mechanics they have added to the game.
Since EA changed some things about the game, it doesn't mean it is a bad game. No, it isn't historically accurate, but it's a video game. You have to look at all of the aspects of the game to see what makes it good, and not be biased against the game while you examine it.
Here are the things that make Battlefield V a good game:
Character customization
Multiplayer game modes
No Premium pass
Related: Which class to play in BF5
The weapons in Battlefield V are one of the best parts of the game. They are very accurate, sound realistic, and are fun to use. If you like a game with great gun mechanics, then Battlefield V is the game for you.
The textures of the weapons just make the game look ten times better than any other shooter, and the animations give life to the player. In my opinion, there's something about the guns that just makes them seem real.
As you progress into the game, your weapons can be upgraded in their individual skill trees, and you can upgrade things like your magazine size, recoil of the gun, or even the range of the weapon. The game makes you feel like you are always progressing, and it gives you the sense of actually playing for a reason.
There are many weapon types that the player can use like LMGs, shotguns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, SMGs, and even pistols. If fun gunplay is what you're after, this game definitely delivers.
There are a total of 4 war stories in Battlefield V, all very different to each other. In these war stories, you will enjoy playing as the French, Norwegians, British, and even Germans. The stories that each one told were filled with great dialogue and gameplay from stealthily taking out enemy camps in the cold of winter to running and gunning into a war zone in the bright, hot forest.
While these are all fun, there were some I enjoyed way more than others. My personal favorite war story was the one where you played as a German tank leader as you traverse enemy ground in your Tiger tank.
I would highly recommend that if you buy Battlefield V, you first play through all the war stories before doing anything. They really set the tone for everything else and give you a new look on the entire game.
When it comes to graphics, EA never disappoints. Whether it is Battlefront 2 or any other EA game for that matter, the frostbite engine just amazes everyone with how well a game runs and looks. The graphics and effects of this game are worth the price of admission.
I really don't know how EA managed to make the game look so good. Every time I play the game, I sometimes find myself just looking off into the distance, just amazed at the view. I know not everyone has a great PC to run it, but the game still looks really good on lower graphics settings.
EA really did a good job with textures because everything just looks so realistic. I have seen some games with terrible textures, and they completely break the immersion of the experience. I never had that issue in Battlefield V.
There are a total of eight launch maps with many more coming in the future. All the maps were made to hold over 64 players on it at a time, and the detail put into each of them is absolutely incredible. For example, the map Rotterdam has dozens of buildings to enter and streets to traverse.
Each map was made for a specific play style, whether you want to run around as infantry, fly a plane, or have tank battles, there is a map for every player. Whether you want to snipe from a distance or run into a building guns-a-blazing, everyone can play the way they want to.
We never thought that a battle royale would be added to a Battlefield game, but it was added to the game in March of 2019. Even though it does not have the best looting system, Firestorm is still a really fun gamemode. It is not the best battle royale out there, but it is different from the norm in many ways.
There is only first person in firestorm and you get to choose between your four main classes. Any experience points you get contributes to your overall multiplayer stats and any guns you use will have their levels be increased for regular multiplayer.
The circle is a huge fire wall, and whetever structure or object it touches, just totally annihilates it. This gamemode alone could be the reason you get Battlefield V if all you care about are battle royales.
The character customization is way better than any other Battlefield game. You can customize the character you are using, the clothes they wear, and even add helmets, masks, and facepaint. Also, the weapon skin customization is amazing in which you can customize individual parts of the gun and add different scopes onto it.
Each class has its own set of gear that you can add on to your character, and you can also buy special outfits from the shop if you really want to. Tanks, cars, planes, and guns all have their own skins and you can unlock all of them just by playing the game.
The possibilities are endless with all the customization you can do, and there is constantly new cosmetics being added to the game so if you are getting tired of a look, just change it.
All the vehicles in Battlefield V contribute to the amazing gameplay given to you. There are many vehicles ranging from huge tanks, to powerful planes. If you want to, you can get into a turret on the top of a tank, or get on a motorcycle to get to the next objective quickly.
Vehicles are a much needed part of the Battlefield series and without them, it would not be the same. Vehicles give the gameplay that tension people look for in a game. When you see a huge tank driving down a small alley towards you, your first thought is to go run and hide.
To actually take out a tank or a plane requires skill and tactics, and to take one out means points for you and your team. If you like playing games inside a vehicle, then Battlefield V is the right game for you.
There are many multiplayer modes in Battlefield V, but my favorite gamemode is conquest. Conquest starts out by allowing a player to start in a variety of ways. You could get into a tank, car plane, or you could run on foot.
The objective is to drain the other team's ticket down to zero by eliminating enemies, taking objectives, and helping your team. There are other game modes to like team deathmatch, domination, and even fortress.
There is a lot of replayability when it comes to Battlefield V because if you get bored of one gamemode, you can just go to another one. The more you level up, the more in-game currency you will receive, and you will be able to get more upgrades to help you win your matches.
One huge thing about Battlefield V is that there will be no paid DLC or premium pass at all. Everything like maps and guns coming out in the future will be given to every player completely free of charge, as long as you own the base game.
There is the deluxe edition, but that only comes with cosmetic items and nothing to help you win your matches. There are no pay-to-win items in the game, so anyone with good weapons worked really hard to get to where they are.
Even though people gave Battlefield V a lot of guff, that does not mean it is a bad game. To be honest, it is probably one of my favorite Battlefield games. If you are skeptical about getting it or you want to get it, I would highly recommend the buy, because of the amount of content that is in the game. If you are thinking about buying the game, here is an Amazon link for Battlefield V with all three platforms.
Before people stir up massive hate about a game, they should try to enjoy themselves with it rather than find every bad aspect. Battlefield V is a great game in my opinion, and I highly recommend any FPS fan to try this great game.

In that brief interval of time the storm clouds had moved on, covering the sun so completely that it was dark as an eclipse. Stubbornly, as though insisting on its rights, the wind stopped Levin, and tearing the leaves and flowers off the lime trees and stripping the white birch branches into strange unseemly nakedness, it twisted everything on one side — acacias, flowers, burdocks, long grass, and tall tree-tops. The peasant girls working in the garden ran shrieking into shelter in the servants' quarters. The streaming rain had already flung its white veil over all the distant forest and half the fields close by, and was rapidly swooping down upon the copse. The wet of the rain spurting up in tiny drops could be smelt in the air.
"It wasn't my fault, really. We were just meaning to go, when he made such a to-do that we had to change him. We were just . . . " Kitty began defending herself.


Councillor Lorraine Allen took the challenge and ate a worm Thursday at Girls' Night Out. Photo credit: Sally Smith.
Ask Councillor Lorraine Allen what worms taste like and she answers, with a bit of a grimace, that the crispy semi-circular dead critters taste a bit like a cracker. She had a chance to down one during Girls' Night Out Thursday at the Rideau Candy Shoppe; for taking the dare, participants were entered in a draw for a $20 gift certificate — and she won, so it was worthwhile on her part.
Leanne Jarrett, Co-ordinator of the Downtown Business Association who hosted the event, walked the walk as well, saying she really enjoyed meeting the "funky bunch of women" who come out each year; this was the ninth year with 34 businesses participating, a record number. Participating stores gave out samples, often provided wine, cheese and crackers, and generously welcomed women into their businesses.
Visiting started at 4 and ended at 8 p.m. when groups of women headed to Chuckles Jack for a bite to eat and waited to hear if their name had been pulled as a winner of one of 37 door prizes.

Valkyrie Armament Belt-Fed AR (AR-15) 5.56mm NATO/.223 Rem. Automatic Rifle/Carbine/SBR: Stoner 63 Modular Weapons System Revisited. Turn your select-fire/full-auto AR into a true light machine gun (LMG)/squad automatic weapon (SAW). | DefenseReview.com (DR): An online tactical technology and military defense technology magazine with particular focus on the latest and greatest tactical firearms news (tactical gun news), tactical gear news and tactical shooting news.
Valkyrie Armament Belt-Fed AR (AR-15) 5.56mm NATO/.223 Rem. Automatic Rifle/Carbine/SBR: Stoner 63 Modular Weapons System Revisited. Turn your select-fire/full-auto AR into a true light machine gun (LMG)/squad automatic weapon (SAW).
A company called Valkyrie Armament has just come out with a Shrike-type (ARES Defense Systems Shrike 5.56 LMG/SAW-type) 5.56x45mm NATO (5.56mm NATO)/.223 Rem. belt-fed AR rifle/carbine/SBR (Short Barrel Rifle) that looks pretty good.
The Valkyrie Armament Belt-Fed AR is reportedly basically a modernized, "improved" Stoner 63 Weapons System. The VA Belt-Fed AR utilizes a M249 SAW ammo box to feed the belted ammo. Making the switch to mag-fed (magazine-fed) operation is quick and easy. Just push out the rear takedown pin, hit the mag release button, pull the belt-feed tray out the top and close the rifle back up by pushing the rear takedown pin back in. Bam. Now you can run mag-fed. DefenseReview (DR) doesn't know how reliable the the VA Belt-Fed AR is in either its belt-fed or mag-fed configs, yet, since we haven't run it, nor have we seen any high-round count/adverse conditions testing data on the weapon.
That said (or, in this case, written), anyone who's been reading DefenseReview (DR) for any length of time knows that we really like our belt-fed machine guns up in here, so, just from the pics and video we've seen so far, we like this thing.
We should perhaps mention that our favorite hard-use (mag-fed) select-fire AR setup designed for sustained full-auto fire, at present, is the FERFRANS Specialties gas piston/op-rod (operating rod)-driven IAR-type (Infantry Automatic Rifle-type) tactical AR carbine/SBR, which utilizes a unique version of the Adams Arms Gas Piston System that incorporates/integrates FERFRANS' patented Rate Reduction System (RRS) into it. The FERFRANS RRS brings the weapon's cyclic rate of fire (ROF) under the 700-rpm threshold. This is important, since the FERFRANS weapons operate from the closed-bolt position. However, the FERFRANS RRS isn't a bad idea for a belt-fed AR, either. In both cases, the reduced cyclic ROF will attenuate/mitigate recoil and muzzle rise, and reduced barrel and weapon heating (including chamber heating). You just don't need to go over 700 rpm in a 5.56mm NATO/.223 Rem. LMG/SAW or IAR.
So, how does the Valkyrie Armament Belt-Fed AR weapons system compare to the Ares Defense Shrike 5.56 with regard to accuracy, reliability, durability, and controllability on full-auto? DR doesn't know–but maybe somebody out there can do a side-by-side comparison and review for us. If you're out there, we're here, and we look forward to hearing from you.
We'd also like to see the Belt-Fed AR outfitted with the Ferfrans RRS, and see how the combo does. It should work great (unconfirmed/unverified).
In the meantime, please let us know what you think by commenting, below. We look forward to hearing from you, as well.

Valkyrie Armament LLC while new in name is not new to the manufacturing field at valkyrie armament we have machined many different components such as medical devise components, titanium plating anodes for oil and gas power generation for companies, such as bp, Halliburton, ge, and siemens, we make metal forming equipment for the custom car and motorcycle industries they have been seen on numerous television shows and recently in the iron man 1 & 2 movies.
Our equipment is also used by the Marine Corps University, the air force, DynCorp International for their Apache helicopter Maintenance Support teams, Los Alamos National Lab, for testing their new polymer compounds, they are also in the Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor on historic Ford Island for maintenance and restoration on the old war planes just to name a few.
– For those that are looking for that tactical, belt fed, 5.56mm weapons platform…Valkryie Armament is your answer. Born from an idea that Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness starts with a warm, belt-fed rifle, Valkryie Armament has reinvented the time-tested model of Eugene Stoner's belt fed conversion into a modern day phoenix.
Shoot one…and you'll want one.
– In the shooting sports, there are many options for you to consider when looking to buy a semi-automatic firearm. Rifles, pistols, shotguns…there all out there for you to consider. When looking for a belt fed, weapons platform, however, your options are far more limited. Cost, function, and caliber are three areas of concern that Valkryie Armament considered when improving the Stoner design. There just isn't a more affordable belt fed, 5.56mm rifle on the market today.
Why a belt fed AR15 style rifle? Because you can.
– We've all heard it before…why do you own an "assault rifle"…why do you need a "scary, black rifle"…why, why, why? Simply put, because you can. In this great land of ours, the liberties that we all enjoy were born in the barrels and breeches of our forefather's flintlocks. This truth is undeniable; however, it is continually under siege from the violent storm of opposition. Valkyrie Armament is your conduit to politely tell those that ask you why…to go pound sand.

Q: How to do #include Macro and take macro value from commandline in C++ #define MACRO

int main () {

#include MACRO
}

Pseudo Code is present above.
MACRO value I am tsking from commandline like
g++ -DMACRO="x.h"

Error is showing

#include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME>

A: The problem is most likely that your command environment removes the double-quotes in the argument, you need to escape the quotes:
$ g++ -DMACRO=\"x.h\"

A: Remove the #define MACRO,
this clashes with your definition of MACRO in the command line arguments.

The Character Quotes / Henry Rollins / Henry Rollins
Henry Rollins quotes:
I spend several days at a time without enough sleep. At first, normal activities become annoying. When you are too tired to eat, you really need some sleep. A few days later, things become strange. Loud noises become louder and more startling, familiar sounds become unfamiliar, and life reinvents itself as a surrealist dream.
If the death of Osama Bin Laden brings any peace to those who lost loved ones on that awful day in September 2001, that is a great thing. It is more likely, however, just a painful reminder of what was lost.
Each year, every city in the world that can should have a multiday festival. More people meeting each other, digging new types of music, new foods, new ideas. You want to stop having so many wars? This could be a step in the right direction.
For many years, I tried to make New Year's resolutions. I made lists and shot for great heights: I would show altruism and exert moral strength, patience and all those other great attributes.
I don't know if music has ever achieved anything past appealing to the people that it appeals to. If a song could stop a war, then Bob Marley and Bob Dylan songs would have stopped one or two.
When I read that Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 had disappeared - a state-of-the-art Boeing 777, said to be an incredibly safe way to travel - I waited patiently for the chance to learn what happened.
I think self-reliance and self-responsibility and self-accountability will help you as a parent, a teacher, as a citizen as a friend.
There is not one single police officer in America that I am not afraid of and not one that I would trust to tell the truth or obey the laws they are sworn to uphold. I do not believe they protect me in any way.
In the city of Pyongyang, you don't have to look very far to see an image of the Great Leader, Kim Il Sung. They love the guy. He is responsible for the wonder that is North Korea.
One of the most prevalent and undermentioned genres of music is what is known as noise. You can find it all over the world happening in basements, small venues and even some festivals. Often blown off or belittled by critics, the form for the most part goes unheard and unnoticed.
In my bright, utopian future world, they will hand out college educations like cups of water at the end of the L.A. Marathon.
I don't have a crystal ball, but I'm willing to bet one of my arms right now that as long as there's electricity, Ramones music is going to be relevant.
While I have no empirical evidence to back this up, I bet that the number of homosexual people per thousand has not fluctuated all that much over the centuries. I do not believe the dented wisdom my father used to extol, that homosexuality was a sure sign of a civilization in decline.
To get a human through a life, lives of broken bones, knock-me-over-with-a-feather susceptibility to myriad viruses, and whatever else might befall someone will cost money.
Barack Obama's administration responded to the Haitian crisis within 24 hours. Here comes the soldiers, here comes the food, go go go... Rush Limbaugh told his multi-millions of listeners that Obama only did that to gain favour with black people in America. This is the kind of idiocy that I have to deal with in my country.
The ecstatic insanity of romantic pursuit can be so enhanced by music that entire romantic conquests, victories and ruinous, crushing defeats can be tied to songs to such a degree that it's almost unbearable to listen to them again, as they bring back the memories so vividly.
There's tons of junk food for your mind on the Internet. You can sit there for three or 10 or 20 hours a day getting in online arguments with other people who also choose to waste their time.
Miles Davis would have this lineup of all these amazing musicians and one day would just say, 'We're done.' After tons of great records and tickets sold, he said, 'Now I'm going to grow my hair out and play my horn through a wah-wah pedal.' Rather than play it safe, he went on.
I know that collector types can be a pain in the neck and seem perpetually frozen in time - or at least in their parents' basement - but someone has to look out for the past, lest it slip away forever.
When you're holding people's attention, I feel you must give them high-quality ingredients. They deserve nothing but your best. And if they need information, get it, cross-check it, and try to be right. Do not waste their time; do not enjoy the ego trip of being onstage.
I tend to gravitate to the darkest or most obscure part of any venue in an effort to have my own space to experience the music on my own, free from unwanted conversations and other distractions.
I don't hate the government. I don't think the Second Amendment is being infringed upon.
With any advent in technology, any technological innovation, there is the good and the bad.
Everyone who knows me knows that I'm a hopeless romantic who listens to love ballads and doo-wop songs all the time.
More than 30 years ago, in Washington, D.C., I secured a copy of a single by a Los Angeles band called The Bags. The two-song 7-inch, released on Dangerhouse, had a girl on the cover who looked right at you with huge eyes. The songs, 'Survive' and 'Babylonian Gorgon,' were great and made many of my mix tapes.
I'd like to talk to Sean Hannity in a controlled environment and say, 'O.K., you can't interrupt and jump up and down like a professional wrestler.'
We all learn lessons in life. Some stick, some don't. I have always learned more from rejection and failure than from acceptance and success.
I don't mind The Boss. I think he's an honest guy. I have some of his records, not all of them. I've met a couple of the E-Street guys, and they seem really cool.
Music files and downloading have indeed changed the currency of music to a great degree.
I am not immune to the lure of a signed record, flier or set list. The fact that your music heroes potentially had, in their own hands, the record you now have in yours is kind of cool. When the musician has departed, it can give the thing a unique power.
We Californians can watch the Weather Channel for images of winter's brutality unleashed upon our fellow Americans and thank our lucky stars we don't have to contend with it.
I have come to regard November as the older, harder man's October. I appreciate the early darkness and cooler temperatures. It puts my mind in a different place than October. It is a month for a quieter, slightly more subdued celebration of summer's death as winter tightens its grip.
Mr. Christ, I read you as an infinitely patient entity who, as they say, often works in mysterious ways, a rebel unafraid to take the tougher, less traveled paths. Seems to me you're playing the long game. Is that why more states are coming out in favor of marriage equality? Is that why the Affordable Care Act is now with us?
I wonder if it is Australia's great distance from more populated land masses that allows its inhabitants to be left to their own devices, to be incredibly creative and, at times, to be wonderfully weird.
Now and then, someone is able to look at an empty space, conclude it would be a great place to start a revolution, and bravely go forward.
My laptop seems to know where I am, even if I don't. My cellphone asks me if I want directions to anywhere from the spot I am standing in. I buy a record online and Amazon.com sends me letters, telling me that people who bought what I bought also bought these other records.
As far as I have been able to understand, the Japanese seem to keep things close to the vest. Friendly but remote and polite to the point of being invisible. It is in the music, literature, film and art that the Japanese really seem to express themselves.
Pride is a thing that I have tried to abandon completely. Try as I might, pride still creeps into many of the things I do.
I am afforded a bit of easy wonderment in relative comfort as to how humans have lasted so long. Climate- and geography-wise, the planet seems to have little use for us.
I once asked Ozzy Osbourne, truly one of my favorite people in the world, if he was cool with singing Black Sabbath songs year after year, whether he was performing with Black Sabbath or out on a solo tour. He said it was great.
Some people see Black Friday as a much-needed break for their wallet. I see it as retail outlets showing the customers the full weight of their contempt. The frenzy to buy cheap crap from China, the human downgrade of people fighting with each other over items they can probably live without, to me, is an insult.
America is a country born from semi-mythologized blood, glory and acts of selfless patriotic sacrifice.
Spring and fall, those are very inspiring times of the year for me.
People like Jefferson, Lincoln, Susan B. Anthony and M. L. K. are larger than life to me. I find myself staring at photographs of Lincoln almost in disbelief that he was a man who walked the earth and not merely some fiction writer's creation.
If people are being upstanding citizens of the Republic, then you have to widen the net to incarcerate them. This explains why America's prisons are full of nonviolent offenders - a perfect example of American exceptionalism.
Michele Bachmann is always a great person to go to for an opinion about anything. She has a very active and interesting mind.
My first introduction to African music was by my mother, who bought the 'Pata Pata' album by the great Miriam Makeba when it came out. Now that is an album. What a voice.
August used to be a sad month for me. As the days went on, the thought of school starting weighed heavily upon my young frame. That, coupled with the oppressive heat and humidity of my native Washington, D.C., only seemed to heighten the misery.
I don't need to have my convictions confirmed by a show of numbers. However, being among people in front of a band leads me to believe that all is not lost, that humans, now and then, can communicate on a higher level than the political and the practical.
To my ears, jazz sounds better in warm weather and after the sun has gone down. While I will listen to some of my favorite jazz records in cooler weather, it's the warmer nights that really make them come alive. Something about those sounds and the heat of the night really makes it happen for me.
Death metal uses a lot of white face paint and black hair dye to make its point. I quite enjoy this genre for its intensity, extremism and underlying irony: You have to be alive to play it and listen to it.
The fact is, in the minds of many, Trayvon Martin received the appropriate punishment for a true crime: He was black, male and dared to walk outside. In life, young Trayvon was just a teenager; in death, he has been transformed into a scary, lurking, suspicious, prone-to-violence spook.
I've been on 'Jay Leno,' and everyone likes Jay, but being on that show is a really boring afternoon. I sincerely like Jay, but I wouldn't want his job, because I'd have to interview Kathy Ireland, and there's nothing there I'd want to know.
Literally thousands of lawsuits have been filed against the NFL by retired players, many of whom say that information on brain injury in football was withheld from them.
When people hold you in high esteem, it's very delicate relationship. When they meet you they're putting all their chips up. It's make or break.
When you're going into an employment environment that looks pretty scary, it is easy to lose your moral compass, your decency, your sense of civility and your sense of community.
To combat the confusion and depression that assault me when I come off the road in the middle of a tour, I seek the most oblivionated music possible. When it's the 'way out there' that I seek, I go right to my stash of amazing music from Japan.
If you want to believe that humans walked with dinosaurs and the planet is a few thousand years old, that is absolutely fine with me. If you want to teach this to your kids, I don't care. If states want to teach creationism in their schools, there is nothing I can do about it, so I don't sweat it.
Early spring is the time for vigorous change, a preparation for the heat-driven oppression that is to come.
Maybe I'm ego-tripping, but I don't find myself a particularly horrible person, so I don't think I need to hold back anything I think or feel.
Everything I do, writing, touring, travelling, it all comes from the punk and hardcore attitude, from that expression - from being open to try things but relying on yourself, taking what you have into the battle and making of it what you will, hoping you can figure it out as you go. Make some sense of it.
Creating problems is easy. We do it all the time. Finding solutions, ones that last and produce good results, requires guts and care.
I wonder what it's like to be from a state that is spread across a few islands way out in the Pacific Ocean, only added to the United States in 1959. Not only that but to be the birthplace of America's first black president? Pretty cool, I bet.
In the late summer of 1986, the band I had been in for five years stopped playing. Suddenly, I was on my own. This new state of bandlessness was, at first, traumatic. When your group breaks up, a lot of broken parts hit the ground.
I've always seen it as the role of an artist to drag his inside out, give the audience all you've got. Writers, actors, singers, all good artists do the same. It isn't supposed to be easy.
More guns equaling more safety is a slippery slope, and what makes it so is human blood.
This is my own little rock theory: In my mind, Nirvana slayed the hair bands. They shot the top off the poodles.
I'm a big fan of the American Tapes label. But that's very hard to keep a grip on that because you blink your eyes and they've released three records, all of which are limited edition, all sold at one show. So you have to follow in drips and drops on eBay, which I do.
I don't mind bees and think we are all the better for having them around. I like the taste of honey.
I am an employment hyena. I am happy to make a meal of what the lions leave behind.
Of course same sex marriage is constitutional! The right to be yourself, to pursue life, liberty, and property, is protected several ways over several amendments. John Boehner should know this.
If I'm in L.A. for longer than 20 days, I'm looking for work, because I don't do vacations.
As the middle class is predated upon with an ever greater malicious intensity, their children stand to lose more and harder than their parents ever did.
Like a lot of inwardly drawn young people, I spent a lot of time in libraries. At my high school, I often spent my lunch breaks there.
The month of November makes me feel that life is passing more quickly. In an effort to slow it down, I try to fill the hours more meaningfully.
Every year, August lashes out in volcanic fury, rising with the din of morning traffic, its great metallic wings smashing against the ground, heating the air with ever-increasing intensity.
There is no place in the world like Australia. Not even its beautiful neighbor New Zealand.
Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.
The perpetrators of the actual bad stuff that does real and lasting harm to people, like leakage of industrial chemicals into water systems, seem to get not so much as a second glance; the bloviation from media pundits and think tanks creates false problems that waste time and energy debunking.
I was in Pakistan in Islamabad when Bhutto was assassinated, and the next day, you know, there's just plumes of smoke everywhere. I mean, Islamabad is on fire.
When a young non-white male is stopped and searched at the whim of a police officer, his idea of personal space, privacy and self esteem are shattered, to say nothing of his Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment protections. The damage goes deep quickly and stays. Stop & frisk, as well as a tactic, is also an incitement.
Anything in this culture that stands still long enough eventually becomes okay if a person can derive an income from it. Eventually, pay-per-view public execution will happen, and it will be half-time entertainment.
Rock n' roll unchained a nation and revolutionized radio and the record industry, not to mention the motion picture business.
It took me until my teenage years to realize that I was medicating with music. I was pushing back against my stupid school uniform, instructors who called me by my last name and my classmates, who, while friendly enough, were not at all inspiring.
If you want to go the scorched-earth, Obamacare-is-like-slavery route and choose to stay uninsured, you will have the Palinesque guts, the Cruzian fortitude to wave off the ambulance that will appear to scoop you up should something bad happen to you, right?
In Israel, there's a lot to learn from anyone, because to live there you've got to deal with the truth. Things happen real fast. Your day goes from cool to catastrophic in one second. Israelis know that the cafe you're in could blow up, or the shopping mall, and they rock that.
I am an optimist because I want to change things for the better and I know that blood has to be spilled and disharmony and cruelty are necessary to do that.
Technically speaking, there is no music whatsoever on a CD. Lots of information, but no music.
A text conversation is a short exchange of often grossly truncated language that corresponds to a thought made all the more shallow by the process.
I am a veteran of the War on Christmas. I am just emerging from a battlefield strewn with dead trees and torn shreds of brightly colored wrapping paper.
It has been hard to get my head around how Justice Antonin Scalia rationalizes his decisions. His body blow to the Voting Rights Act was a head scratcher, but at least he was calm when he attempted to justify his odd logic.
Please don't think that I am one of those squishy types who can't handle reality. I have plenty of real-world things to deal with all the time. I have deadlines, meetings, I answer the phone, I get turned down, I wait in lines and am forced to pass for normal all the time.
Youths write me and tell me that their band will go nowhere because of all the bad bands in the world. I tell them there has always been awful music and that no great band ever wasted any time complaining, they just got it done. Their ropey ranting is just a way to get out of the hard work of making music that will do some lasting damage.
As a young person growing up in Washington, D.C., summers were hot, humid and relentless. My friends and I grew more restless and adventurous with every passing year.
To see change in your own area code is very powerful. There's a little orphanage down the street from my company, and we donate $1 from the sale of each CD we sell to the orphanage.
It's one thing to buy a copy of 'Atlas Shrugged.' You actually have to read it to get anything out of it.
I don't believe in fate or destiny. I believe in various degrees of hatred, paranoia, and abandonment. However much of that gets heaped upon you doesn't matter - it's only a matter of how much you can take and what it does to you.
When you're kept out of the adult world, it's a blessing in disguise.
I consider any gun that can chamber a round and send a projectile down its barrel at a high rate of speed into my body - causing me injury or death - to be an assault weapon.
The only thing about sanctions is that, like a lot of drone strikes, there are countless unintended victims. Cutting off aid to Uganda only increases the pain there.
If I were a doctor, I would prescribe that you addict yourself deeply and irrevocably to music and never, ever seek cure outside of more music. It really is the best drug available.
I know I was a generic dysfunctional child, but I think a lot of people are.
Have you ever heard the expression 'one hot mess?' I think the term was custom-made for the mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford.
One of the odd enjoyments in life is to be alone in a room full of people. To have them there as unknowing human filler in your wide shot.
Being in New York is an almost overwhelming experience. While Washington, D.C., is my favorite American city, I regard New York City as the most amazing city in the world. No other comes close. It is an incredible, inexhaustible engine.
I want to change things for the better, just like everybody else.
Don't do anything by half. If you love someone, love them with all your soul. When you go to work, work your ass off. When you hate someone, hate them until it hurts.
The blues is losing someone you love and not having enough money to immerse yourself in drink.
Musicians should not play music. Music should play musicians.
Kids need parents who love and support them unconditionally, full stop.
Why do you think the old stories tell of men who set out on great journeys to impress the gods? Because trying to impress people just isn't worth the time and effort.
Change is hard, but change is good.
I think more tolerance, more people having more access to a chance to be literate, and a chance to stay healthy makes for a more peaceful planet.
I try to get myself up and moving as early as possible. Optimum is to be on the treadmill while it is still dark outside.
Lou Reed's music has been in the lives of millions of people all over the world for decades. He had a truly universal presence and was respected by musicians across all genres.
Sometimes when you meet a musician you are a fan of, and he or she isn't the friendliest person, you walk away from the experience wondering if you will ever be able to listen to their music again.
I have not the smarts or patience for political office.
Those who seek to profit by division don't stand a chance.
Imagine a 15-year-old kid saying, 'I have two moms - it's cool.' I don't fear that at all.
