            Steel (to sharpen knife)

The movie review of "Trouble with the Curve" by Keith Phipps (http://www.avclub.com/articles/trouble-with-the-curve,85174/).
Reviews "Trouble with the Curve" witch is a movie about an ageing baseball scout who is known for finding young talent before it truly shows itself and his daughter who is very close to being partner at a law firm but is talked into going after her father.

Unlike most actors and people Eastwood embraces his ageing in his work. Trouble with the Curve may not appeal to Eastwood's fans that liked him in his action movies and westerns it dose bring in a new element of Eastwood into light that he is human and not some angry old man.

Most people shot themselves when they think the gun is empty. This is a brief proper way to not shoot yourself when you are a tempting to clean your gun. Make sure that gun is empty, action is open and safety is on. If shot gun remove magazine ( beware of magazine spring) and take barrel off of action. If rifle remove barrel so you can push cleaning rod from action to muzzle. This so if there is dirt in the barrel it wouldn't fall into the action. Clean action with brush and gun cleaning solvent. Wipe done shot gun barrel with degreaser and replace respective parts. Wipe down all metal surfaces with degreaser because the oil off your hands will rust the gun. Wipe down the stock and place back into safe and secure area.
