Pros: roomy, large trunk, decent powerCons: horrible electronics, many problems with power windowsThe Bottom Line: For short trips, a reasonably comfortable car, just be ready to replace window motors!
I bought this car in 2000, with approximately 12,000 miles, lease return. Initially I was very impressed and have always owned GM cars and trucks. On the plus side, the car has decent power, and I've always been impressed with the 3.8 liter GM V6 and ... read more

Pros: Ride Quality/Comfort, Number of Features, ReliabilityCons: Old man stigma associated with it, cup holders don't hold a plastic soda bottle.The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this car to anyone who is looking for a very reliable full sized car. You get a lot of features for a very reasonable cost.
I'll admit it, I'm 21 and I own a Buick LeSabre. I'll pause for the "old man car" jokes to die down. My response to the people who say that is, so what, old people have nice things! I bought this car as a replacement for my 1996 Chrysler Cirrus about ... read more

Pros: comfortableCons: $$$1700.00 to replace upper and lower coolant gaskets @ 46000mi. The Bottom Line: I'll never buy another Buick. In 37000 miles, tires shot, transmission dropped, rotors were turned twice and the coolant intake gasket was shot. Two year old vehicle too many repairs.
I purchased this vehicle brand new for 26 grand . I have already had major transmission problems that the dealer took care of. Recently it started to leak coolant. I took the vehicle to Lane Pontiac of Melbourne and they informed me it would cost ... read more

Pros: Comfortable, smooth ride Cons: Console takes too much space on drivers side.The Bottom Line: Good gas mileage, very comfortable ride, good performance, and the extra features have made the car passenger friendly. I would recommend it highly.
We have owned three Buicks prior to purchasing the 2000 Buick LeSabre Limited. We have virtually had no problems with any of the previous Buicks, so this plus the fact that we have enjoyed the other cars, was a big factor in buying another Buick. ... read more

Pros: The price was right, roomier then a Sable. Comfort, comfort, safety.Cons: The passenger airbag in the front doesn't turn off.The Bottom Line: It has all the bells and whistles for less money. Besides, GM contributed the survivors fund,9/11, Toyota and Honda didn't.
I bought this LeSabre after looking at all the material on my main car the Mercury Sable. My Sable was a '93 and a good reliable car, no major repairs like the engine but small repairs and it had over 174,000 miles, time for a change. When I studied the ... read more

Pros: Smooth, powerful, comfortable rideCons: Gas mileage could be better

Pros: Roomy and reliable; Lots of features and leg space; A strong vehicle that gives you peace of mind on the road!Cons: Kind of look bulky!; can consume gas
After my wife's 2000 Toyota Corolla was involved in a very serious side collision, I wanted her to be in a strong, kind of muscled car. Thanks to our diligence and efforts with the insurance company, I managed to get her and my kids into a 2001 Buick ... read more

Pros: Features, Comfort, Value, Reliability, StylingCons: Less roomy in the back than the '97 LeSabre
A spacious full-size American sedan that's comfortable, powerful, drives well, and is a great value. That's how I'd summarize the 2000 Buick LeSabre in one sentence. This is really my dad's car, but I've driven it very often. The main gripe I have ... read more

Hi, I've been trying to edit my User Track radio name to a personal one, but I can't seem to find the file. And since you can't search with the VC GXT editor it's quite suicide finding that one file you need. Anyone knows where I can find it?

Squeaks, squeals, sirens, freak-outs, elephant sounds and much more!
Check out Guitar World's guide to the Fab 50 — the Beatles' 50 finest guitar moments!
From Satch to Zep, here are six more hidden gems made magnificent in headphones.
One of the most promising bands to have come out of the American metal scene in recent times, Warbringer has just released their third studio album, Worlds Torn Asunder, by far their strongest effort yet.
Shane Dwight has been recording and performing for 10 years, but chances are that the singer/songwriter/guitarist slipped under your radar. As an independent artist, Dwight — who is often categorized as a blues musician but is equally comfortable in the rock and soul genres — has sold more than 60,000 albums and made a name for himself, but certainly not at the level his talent deserves.
The latest edition of Guitar World's annual review guide includes the top picks of the year's best gear, modeled by a dazzling assortment of Playboy Playmates.
Recently it was my great honor to sit down with rock legend -- and one of my all-time favorite players -- Leslie West to talk about his new record, Unusual Suspects. The album features Leslie's classic searing and smooth guitar tone, as well as guest performances by music heavyweights like Slash, Zakk Wylde, Joe Bonamassa, Steve Lukather, Kenny Aronoff and Billy Gibbons. Leslie had me fascinated and laughing my ass off.
It's pretty near impossible to be at all engrossed in the New York City metal scene without running into Munsey Ricci on a regular basis.
Austin-based country band Reckless Kelly's new album, Good Luck and True Love, might also be an appropriate title for its lead guitarist's career. David Abeyta attended Berklee College of Music to determine if he had what it takes to make it as a guitarist. "I thought, 'If I can do this, then I'll keep at it,'" Abeyta says. "I used it as my measuring stick, which may or may not have been a good idea. Luckily, it worked." Abeyta checked in before a show in Boston to talk about the new album, his favorite gear and getting his start in a ukulele band.
On the back of three hugely impressive studio albums and a massive tour with Metallica, The Sword, and Austin, Texas-based sludge metal quartet, have been growing in popularity and gaining new fans with every move. They are on a North American tour as main support to Kyuss Lives, which is proving to be another feather in their hat.

As the world's largest online retailer, it's no surprise that its biggest fulfillment center in Phoenix, Arizona is the size of 28 football fields.
That's because it's their goal to have everything anyone wants at any time.
Amazon has 80 fulfillment centers in the world to handle all of its orders.
Even though Amazon already has massive operations, it's still planning to open at least two new fulfillment centers in California over the next year or so.
And with the holiday shopping season in full force, Amazon hired an additional 50,000 employees to help with the expected demand.
Thanks to Imgur user SippingTea's incredible photos, we have a sense of what this incredible scale actually looks like.

It's "junk legislation" and needs to go the way of all junk; ie., the 'legislative' landfill which for the most part is unused and empty. Most bills which which have beomce law are never repealed. It modified, then it generally becomes worse than before. Let's hope not. It's byzantine and convoluted with so much of it having little to do with healthcare, but control of citizens allowing the government to snoop further into every aspect of our lives.
For example reporting all transactions $600 or more between retailers, suppliers and private citizens. Even the IRS is sucking wind over this numbing add-on in the bill to take effect in January 2012. It's going to create a blizzard of 1099's with little utility other than for the government to snoop on the most routine details of commerce while costing taxpayers even more to administer.
There's also a gray area about sanctions against those who don't want this stinkin' healthcare hatched in legislative hell. Will non-participation for whatever reason include "jailtime" in addition to fines? / : |
My blood turns to that of icey seawater when I read parts of the this gargantuan piece of legislation hatched by our resident crimpols in Congress. It's shameful and it needs to be ash canned…period!
If they want healthcare for all those folks that don't have such, then let them sign up for Medicare and to pay a reasonable, affordable premium that's commensurate and tailored to their family's needs and not a one size fits all mentality. Notice I said for those that don't have healthcare because they can't afford it and leave those of us alone that can afford such.
They also need to clamp down mightily on Medicare and Medicaid fraud which is now estimated at 80 "billion" dollars per annum! Evidently the punishment for doing so is too soft on the miscreants that engage in such. How about 25 years to life with no chance of parole for starters. If they pulled this crap in the PRC they'd no doubt get a bullet to the base of the brain or a 20 year sentence in a Chinese slammer which is tantamount to a death penalty. Crooked politicians/politburo members even billionaires end up the same too China. That's about the only good thing I can think about their governent; ie., swift and summary justice for miscreants regardless of social status.
Like most Americans I'm tired of being hammered by endless tales of corruption the behalf of system administrators, politicians, bankers, Wall Street types, mega insurers etc. If we had daily examples of such scum being hung from an old fashioned yard arm leaving them as crow bait then these ugly society draining situations might abate or cease completely. We're too solt on white collar crime in this country. They continually skate since they can afford to by the best legal aid their stolen largesse can buy.

Buyer's Guide: Trail Bikes
Scott Genius 740
4 / 9
The latest Genius models ditch the pull-shock design of previous versions in favor of a traditional setup. The 740 has 27.5-inch wheels and 150mm of travel, but is still a light and efficient climber. The handlebar-mounted Twinloc remote controls both shocks' lockout and platform settings with the push of a button. The Genius also has a clever shock-mount chip that lets you drop the bottom bracket height by 7mm and slacken the head-tube angle by 0.5 degrees for more stability on descents.
Price: $3,000

Cornyn on the UN arms treaty
POSTED: Thursday, July 19, 2012 - 9:42am
UPDATED: Sunday, November 11, 2012 - 2:10pm
tyler, tx — Last week we told you about the United Nations small arms conference going on all this month in New York.
The object is a treaty regulating the international arms trade. But some still suspect they seek to do more.
And, like so many conspiracies, it concerns not what is said, but what is suspected.
For starters, the treaty, if it is ever agreed upon, only governs the international sale of specific kinds of small arms. The UN charter forbids interfering in the laws of member states. The US Constitution takes precedence over any treaty, and any treaty must be ratified by the US Senate.
And today, Senator John Cornyn told KETK, the Senate will vet it thoroughly.
"Should there be a treaty put to the Senate by the President," cornyn told us, "my expectation is that this would be thoroughly vetted and debated, and if any of these concerns are justified, I have a hard time believing it would be ratified."
In fact, the Secretary of State says, US regulations on international shipments of weapons to brutal regimes or terrorists are already the "gold standard" for responsible arms trade.
Secretary Clinton says her greatest hope is that the rest of the world agrees to standards we already use. But according to Cornyn, the problem is simple distrust.
"Well, I think what you're hearing from people is what I'm hearing from people," he said, "and that's an enormous skepticism about Washington and the federal government and so I think that's sort of the premise for a lot of this."
And some misinformation as well. But the upshot is, it simply will not get through the Senate if there is any perceived threat to US sovereignty.
"But you're certainly correct in that the Senate would have to ratify this treaty," Cornyn concluded, "and that's something that I think maybe is not well understood."
Comments News Comments
We also know that a Democrat majority in the senate will lead to confirmation of anything Obama promotes.
Senator Cornyn has failed his duties miserably for several years now. I moved to TX in 2003 and as the years go by he is less responsive to his constituency and less concerned about the constitution as the rule of law. Like almost everyone elected who spends time in D.C. he loses his compass of right and wrong and when this happens coupled with failure to hear what his constituents are saying, there is only one cure, bring him home so he can recover from the D.C. Disease. Brain Melt.
We like our guns in the USA! So, Cornyn, Clinton, Obama, and @themick1 take a walk off a short pier. We don not trust you! Screw the UN and their "One World Government" agenda. In fact UN just get the HELL OUT already. We are sick of you pushing the USA around, forcing us to be the Worlds police, and trying to force you socialist garbage on us. Republicans Vote this Commie Sheep in Republican clothing AKA: John Cornyn out of office.
...because there is no treaty yet. That is what they are talking about in New York, and all the sessions are public. When and if it is hammered out, it will be public. The debate in the Senate will be public. The vote will be public. There is no secret treaty.
So, then, why is the wording of the treaty such a big secret? Even the UN reports and UN propaganda, such as the "Armed to the Teeth" movie and child brainwashing sessions, are not at all reassuring. Get the UN the hell out of our affairs, Get out of the UN.
Article 6 also continues...that the rule only applies if any laws of the states or the Constitution do not come into conflict. It was finally decided by the Supreme Court in the 1950's. Cornyn and the story are right.
Concerning Article VI's relationship to the Small Arms Treaty if ratified by the Senate, I believe this situation has already been decided, in favor of the Constitution.
Reid v. Covert (1957) ruled that no branch of the United States Government can have powers conferred upon it by treaty that have not been conferred by the United States Constitution.
There you go. the Constitution says that the American people have the right to "Keep and Bear Arms". No foreign treaty can trump that.
Senator Cornyn is incorrect that the Constitution would not be affected by the Small Arms Treaty. Article VI of the Constitution makes treaties the "supreme law of the land". Essentially, should the Senate ratify the treaty it would become an amendment to the Constitution, changing our rights to keep and bear arms. The government could, and under this administration would, enact restrictions, that would not be constitutional under the 2nd Amendment, in order to "enforce the treaty".

PAGOSA SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - A nearly six-square-mile wildfire in southern Colorado has grown more than 600 acres but is now 4 percent contained.
Fire managers said Thursday about 250 personnel are battling the blaze. The potential for growth remains high as crews work to monitor and hold containment lines.
The fire is 200 miles southwest of Denver near Pagosa Springs. It was caused by lightning on May 13.
More than 600 firefighters are battling a second wildfire four miles north of Paradox near the Utah border.
The nine-square-mile fire is 70 percent contained. Crews are working to develop two contingency lines to the north and west of the fire.
No structures are threatened and the cause is under investigation.

United spending over - Ferguson
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson says that he will not be making any late signings before the closure of the transfer window. Ferguson has signed Michael Owen, Gabriel Obertan and Antonio Valencia this summer to offset the loss of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid. But despite the defeat to Burnley, Ferguson says he has faith in his side. "We have the right squad and I trust them," Ferguson told United Review ahead of the clash against Arsenal.

Reservations to volunteer at a shelter?!
Well not likely, but Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter have the biggest turn out for volunteers. So many volunteers show up at their favorite shelters that sometimes finding work can be a problem. Reverend Julius Martin at the Mission El Paso expects 10-20 volunteers on Thanksgiving. That number is a confirmed, pre-arranged number because their facility is so small. The reverend says more volunteers would become counterproductive.
John Martin, the Community Relations Director for The Salvation Army in El Paso will never turn away a volunteer. He expects nearly 150 of them. If more show up he will find something for them to do. Coffee station, dessert station, cleaning station the list goes on and on at the Salvation Army. The pantry needs rearranging and donations can be sorted.
Taking in more volunteers or turning them away, the one thing both Martin's agree on is they would like to see this big turnout everyday of the year.
Give them a call. Reverend John Martin at Mission El Paso: 915-532-2575 or John Martin at The Salvation Army: 915-544-9811.

Sky Blue Trust Make Ball Boys Christmas
Trust Work With Swindon To Provide Ball Boys On Saturday two Coventry mad youngsters will get to be ball boys at the Sky Blues match at Swindon Town's County Ground – an opportunity they thought that had been taken away from them when the CCFC matches were moved to Northampton and the club dispensed with the ball boys services. David Cameron,11 and Aoife Carey, 12 will proudly be on duty at the match against Swindon. The Sky Blue Trust has organised this opportunity with Swindon Town, who have been totally supportive and extremely helpful. Aoife is travelling down to the match for free on the Trust coach and will be proudly wearing her Coventry colours. When asked if she was looking forward to it she said; "Yes! I am so excited. That is a nice Christmas present, I thought I would never do it again as we don't play in Coventry anymore". An equally excited David stated "This is totally amazing and I hope I do a good job. Thanks to the Sky Blue Trust and Swindon for this." The Sky Blue Trust hopes they have a great day and enjoy themselves, even more so if we pick up 3 points. Also a big thank you to Adam Wainwright at Swindon Town for his help and in recognising the importance to youngsters of such opportunities.

Team Nautique skier, Nate Smith, set a new Slalom World Record at 2.5@43-off behind the world record setting Ski Nautique 200 this past weekend. The record was set at a tournament held at the Ski Ranch in Covington, Louisiana and is pending approval from the International Waterski and Wakeboard Federation (IWWF).
Prior to this tournament Smith was the co-holder of the world record along with Team Nautique skier Chris Parrish. Smith went all out on Saturday during the second qualifying round to set the 14th World Record behind the Ski Nautique 200 since its inception in 2010!
"The first couple sets I felt really good and got dialed in behind the Ski Nautique 200. During the second round I ran 41-off, started on 43 with a great start to ball 1, then 2 and got to 3 still standing. It was amazing, and the Ski Nautique 200 played a huge role in this accomplishment from always having a consistent pull whether I'm practicing or competing allowing me to go out and set a pending World Record!" commented Team Nautique athlete, Nate Smith.

Nautique Launches the Nautique Surf System
Nautique is excited to introduce the Nautique Surf System™ (NSS) with WAVEPLATE technology, available on Super Air Nautique models.
The Nautique Surf System creates a fully customizable surf wave at the press of a button. This completely new and innovative way of shaping the wave will make any wakesurfer's experience more enjoyable than ever.
The WAVEPLATE is an integrated design that when deployed extends outward and down from the transom intercepting and redirecting the flow of water to clean up the wake and form a surf wave unlike anything offered in our industry. This not only allows the ability to form a wave on either side instantly, but also allows for wave customization with variable intensity settings that adjust wave steepness and shape by controlling exactly how much the plate is engaged.
Integrated into the Nautique LINC System, users have the ability to customize their settings instantly and save them in personalized profiles that store and automatically engage your preferred speed, ballast settings, and WAVEPLATE position.
"The all-new Nautique Surf System with WAVEPLATE technology is just another example of the progression and forward thinking at Nautique," stated Nautique CEO Bill Yeargin. "Last year our industry voted Nautique as having the industry's Most Innovative Product and the NSS provides yet another innovative design by Nautique. It will change the sport of wakesurfing," Yeargin added.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Last March Nautique created more buzz in our industry than anyone can ever recall with the introduction of a boat wakeboard legend Shaun Murray called a "game changer;" the Super Air Nautique G23. Our "Reveal" party was packed and so many people tried to watch online that it crashed both the webcast and our Nautique website. It was definitely one of the most exciting nights in the history of our industry.
Interestingly, I had some well-intended friends ask me if we were making a mistake creating so much hype over a boat introduction. They sincerely said that we were creating a pretty high set of expectations related to the boat and it would be hard to deliver on those expectations.
So, six months later, what has happened?
Well, we started with the Nautique Wake Games held here in Orlando just two weeks after the G23 introduction. It was the first time the boat would be seen on the water and it was pulling one of the industry's most exciting events. No pressure, huh? Well, the Wake Games ended up being historic with the landing of the first ever wake-to-wake 1080 in competition. In all the great wakeboard competitions over the past couple decades it was that first time that happened and it was behind the G23. Then, it happened again; a second wake-to-wake 1080! What had never happened before happened twice in the same day. The Super Air Nautique G23 was off to an amazing start!
After the Nautique Wake games we were able to get some G23's around for people to ride as part of our Proving Grounds Tour. As the Super Air Nautique G23's traveled around the country people were amazed. At stop after stop people were lining up to experience this boat that was truly a game changer. Our team could not be happier with the response of so many people who have ridden in or behind the G23 and have loved it, many placing orders for their own!
The Super Air Nautique was validated in competition, it was validated by wakeboarders everywhere and finally it was validated by our industry. Earlier this month members of our industry voted the Nautique G23 as the industry's "Most Innovative Product."
So, was the hype too big? Nope, in fact, it may not have been big enough. This boat is truly amazing!
The world's best wake boat; the world's best ski boat; and a company that cares!
Enjoy the Nautique life!
In 2008 the 1st Tony and Ryan competition was held at Chasewater Ski Club in loving memory of two very special people, Ryan & Tony Birch who were tragically killed in 2007 in an aircraft accident. Both family and friends were compelled to share a time to remember two very special people who they all lost from their lives. For the love, devotion and dedication that Ryan had for wakeboarding, it was decided that the most fitting memorial for Ryan and his dad would be to hold a wakeboard competition.
Each year the competition has grown in numbers both entrants and spectators. Due to the continual works at Chasewater this years competition is again being held at the West Midlands Water Ski Centre . Following the change in venue last year, it was decided to make the 2010 comp a one day event. This year we are taking up the whole weekend!!!!!!!! This years comp is being made even bigger!!!!!

HAZLE TWP. — Steady business growth along the East Coast has led a Wisconsin-based company to expand its presence in the Humboldt Industrial Park.
Progressive Converting, or Pro-Con, the largest independent paper converter by market share in the United States, has leased another 212,964 square feet of industrial space in the business park from Mericle Commercial Real Estate Services.
Pro-Con already operates a 230,000-square-foot converting, warehouse and distribution facility on Maplewood Drive in Humboldt and will continue to operate that facility.
Dan Curtin, president and CEO, of the Appleton, Wis.-based company that has 300 employees in the U.S. and has industrial facilities in Minnesota, Virginia and California, said additional capacity was needed to support East Coast customers.
"The recent growth in our business has exceeded the capacity of our Maplewood Drive facility," Curtin said. "The Mericle building will essentially double our footprint in the northeast and support our growth in the region over the next few years. We expect to retain all of our current employees at the Maplewood facility and will be adding approximately 25 employees in the first year in the new building with the potential to add another 25-35 within three years."
As other companies that have recently located into the industrial park outside of Hazleton have noted, location was a key.
"Humboldt Industrial Park is in close proximity to both interstate 80 and 81," said Mike Kersten, vice president of sales for Pro-Con. "This geographic location allows the capability of cost effective services to the entire east coast. We can provide next-day service to most markets."
The company has leased the balance of space available in Mericle's 410,000-square-foot building at 1104 N. Park Drive. E.S. Kluft and Co. and PECO Pallet each recently leased close to 100,000 square feet in the same building.
Mericle Vice President Bob Besecker, Jr. coordinated the real estate transaction. He said having existing space available is critically important when companies need to expand.
"We built our facility at 1104 N. Park Drive on speculation several years ago," said Besecker. "Because the building was ready at the right time, we were able to accommodate three companies that together employ more than 100 people.

Mother's Day Blooming Card
By: Dena Lenham from Kreinik
This project is great for those who are just beginning at iron-on crafts. It's a cute Mother's day card that has just the perfect touch with the flowers on it.
- Mrs, K's Iron-on Medium Braid in 6100 Carnation, 6420 Sky Blue, 6250 Orange, 6300 Meadow
- Mini Iron or household iron
- Kreinik Teflon Press Cloth
- White cardstock folded to 5.5" x 4.25" and envelope
- Fancy-edged scissors
- Flower stamp (we used Love Without End stamp set from Stampin Up)
- Stamp pads: Fuchsia, Blue, Orange, Green
- Turn your iron onto the highest heat setting and let it heat thoroughly.
- Meanwhile, trim the bottom edge of your card, just the front side, with the fancy-edged scissors.
- Stamp the stems and the flowers on the front of the card, using our photo as your guide.
- Go over the stem areas with Iron-on Braid in 6300 Meadow. To do this, lay the thread at a starting point, right over the green stamped stem. Set the Teflon Press Cloth on the thread, then press with your hot iron for several seconds or until the thread adheres. Continue along the design, pressing the thread in sections. Always cover the thread with the Teflon before ironing to keep the adhesive from sticking to your iron.
- In the same fashion, lay a swirl of Iron-on Braid in each flower center, in your choice of colors. Then trace around each flower with alternating colors of Iron-on Braid.
- If desired: Stamp a message across the top, or on the inside of the card.

`Finlandization:' A Dirty Word?
WITH rapid change going on in Eastern Europe, an old question has been raised anew: How can a country share a border with the Soviet Union and still be free and democratic, without ultimately provoking Soviet distrust and hostility? The answer, some think, lies in the example of Finland. Finland is perhaps the only country in the world that enjoys the distinction of having a foreign policy syndrome named after it. Perhaps ``enjoy'' isn't quite the word for it, for few terms have been more misleading than ``Finlandization,'' or more offensive to the Finns themselves.
When Finlandization was first coined about 30 years ago, it was used to derisively describe a supine posture on the part of the Finns vis-`a-vis their Eastern neighbor. Despite it being a pluralistic democracy with a free economy, many in the West saw neutral Finland as having yielded the substance of its national sovereignty without so much as a whimper.
Not surprisingly, the Finns were anything but pleased with this description. Yet at the same time, they could not deny that their country has had a rather accommodating relationship with the Soviets. Finland, for example, is the only Western democracy to have signed a ``Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance'' with the USSR. A key part of this treaty is Moscow's right to move troops into Finland as a defensive measure. The Finnish press has also been careful to practice self-censorship insofar as it tries not to provoke the USSR. For example, Finnish printing houses long refused to publish the works of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
Conservatives saw the Finnish case as a warning to the rest of the West. In the last few years, however, Finlandization has taken on a more positive meaning. Today, Finland is being promoted as a role model for Eastern Europe. It is, after all, a true multiparty democracy, with a flourishing free press and a vibrant economy (real growth about 4 percent a year), and it has never had Soviet troops on its soil. What Poland or Hungary or Estonia wouldn't give to be so Finlandized, goes this line.

For those of you who have been waiting for the Gen 4 Glocks, they're out! But you need to be fully aware of something...
The Gen 4 Glocks have a user-movable mag release (switch from one side to the other). The new mags are notched on both sides (obviously modded older mags). Thus if you move the mag release to the opposite side (pressed from the right) you WILL NOT be able to use non-Gen4 mags as they will not have the extra notch. This is not a problem if the mag release is pressed from the left side.
That said, the notch appears to just be cut out right down to the metal liner of the magazine. I see absolutely no reason why an older gen Glock mag cannot be modified at home with the proper measurements, scoring, and removing of the appropriate material...all at home.
Please check with your local gunsmiths about this type of magazine modification as they may not be aware of the issue and need to be as it could generate more business for them. It may also void the warranty on your older gen mags.

Your legs moved monotonously as you got into a rut of thinking about ways you could escape this torture; the freezing air and the repetitive chk, chk, chk of your tennis shoes on the gravel track. The coach called your name, stirring you from your thoughts and reminding you how tired your legs were. You groaned, jogging lazily and glaring at coach Beilschmidt, who smirked with his pointed teath, and red eyes under his white-blond fringe of hair. He looked positively demonic. And he was so young. You tended to think "vampire" when you saw him. "Yes, coach?"
He leaned back on the bleachers, checking his stopwatch and then clipboard. "Pick up the pace, you've still got three laps to go and only four minutes left in this period."
"Three!" you cried, looking away miserably as you picked up your feet at a faster pace. Coach B was notorious for his ridiculously tough grading policy. This was P.E. for crying out loud, no one takes that class seriously. Except for him.
You took your next lap at a sprint, at first, and held that pace for a good ten seconds before you slowed back down. Not quite a quarter way around the track, you began to worry, because you knew that once again you would receive a C for this, and certain parental units were not very pleased to hear you had anything less than an A in P.E.
One particularly annoying factor about having Coach B was that a good deal of girls were head-over-heels for him. In fact, there were a lot of teachers at this school that girls liked to fawn over, and that struck you as a bit dangerous. But Coach B, he had caught the eye of mainly the most…outgoing girls at the school. One of these was an acquaintance of yours, Viv, whose long, bleached-white ponytail bobbed up and down out of the corner of your eye. "Hey," she panted, slowing her pace as she reached you.
"Hey," you responded with a smile, and she smiled back, snakebites glinting in the weak sunlight of the morning. You watched her eyes flicker to the bleachers, her tongue splitting a salacious smile.
"Ugh, he's such a dick, isn't he?" she groaned, in more a tone of twisted adoration than anything else. "I bet he's looking at his reflection in that stopwatch or some shit."
"Oh no, trust me," you huffed, eyes fixed on your shoes, "he's…huh…keeping track of…huh…time. Mine, at least."
"Dude, what ever," she laughed, turning around to jog backwards. "This is my second lap and he doesn't give a shit."
"Vivian, you have an F."
She waved a hand dismissively, rainbow of gel bracelets and rave kandi cuffing her wrist. "He still only gets on your ass about it. Everyone else he lets fail but he wants you to improve or some shit."
"Ew, okay," you began, hard breaths breaking up your speech. "I'm sure you're just exaggerating to fuel your own strange fantasies. Like you said, he's a jerk, but he's a jerk to everyone."
"You're missing my point. He cares that you know how to pass," she said as though she was telling you the sky was blue. Which, actually, it wasn't right now; more like a mix of greys and white. "It's his way of flirting, because he doesn't know how, because he's so into himself usually."
You sighed, irritated, and picked up your pace some more. Viv only turned around again to keep up.
"It's because you're such a fucking teacher's pet, damn," she complained. You shook your head, knowing that was not true. "No one else except you actually listens to him when he's telling us what the fuck to do during stretches. He likes that you give him the attention."
"You know what, I bet you could get out of the rest of these laps," she said, and you shushed her because you were passing the coach again. She lowered her voice. "Just call him by his first name, like I bet it'll turn him on so much that you know his name he'll let you off the hook for the rest of class."
"Um, his first name is 'coach,'" you said, back of your throat growing dry from talking too much.
"Actually it's Gilbert, idiot."
"I know that. I'm not calling him that, it's disrespectful."
"ONE MINUTE," he called. Shit, you had done one lap.
"Go away and let me jog, Vivian, I am not failing P.E. for talking."
"Fine, whatever." She jogged off ahead of you, her tight, red hot pants standing out against her white skin. You sighed and drove forward.
Now her words began to stick to your mind and you knew that was dangerous. It was sort of true, you supposed; you had at least never observed him explicitly pointing out anyone else's times or laps. Or maybe that was just because fitness wasn't your thing.
The thought quickly shook from your head as you booked it around the track, knowing full well you would never finish in time. And right as you finished your second lap, Coach B blew his shrill whistle and a collective groan of relief could be heard from the exhausted students. "Alright, dress out!" he called, motioning exaggeratedly toward the locker rooms.
You glared. Asshole. He should at least give you the points for effort, but you knew that was a long shot at best. His permanent smirk sat on his lips as he checked something off on the clipboard, and you snagged at the drinking fountain on your way to the locker room.
"Hey," he said as you came up from the cold stream and wiped your mouth, "I know you tried, okay? But you still didn't finish—"
"Well you can blame Vivian for that," you snapped acidly, folding your arms across your chest. He raised an eyebrow.
"I'm sure it wasn't miss Valentine's fault."
"Yes, it was, actually," you spat. "And you're partly to blame as well. Maybe if she found you less attractive she wouldn't be repeating her fantasies to me while I'm trying to jog."
You really had not intended to say that out loud. You watched the coach's face warily, trying to think of what you could say to make that sentence sound like something other than it meant. You were rendered unsuccessful by the time he spoke.
"Alright. It isn't exactly a secret that all the girls on campus want me…"
You scoffed.
"But you can't blame miss Valentine for you not finishing your laps."
"No, but I'm pretty sure I can blame you." No regrets. What's the worst he could do, lower your grade more? "Not everyone is athletic, you know. I really tried today."
The way he looked at you brought Viv's stupid ideas back. He looked a little conflicted, like he was compromising for your sake, weird red eyes concentrated at your lips. Then they flickered to your eyes. "Alright, well. I'll give you full points for today, I guess."
"Wait, what?"
"One exception," he said, voice lowering. He looked about casually, dropping his clipboard to his side and holding it against his thigh as he stepped closer to you. "C'mere."
"I don't—" Before you even could understand, he was already kissing you. What? Yeah, kissing you. His pale, cold lips were on yours and a strong white hand held your face. Your eyes widened in surprise, but then they half-closed because this actually felt kinda good.
But you pulled away because this was bad.
He brushed his fair hair out of his face, lips parted only a little before they quirked into a smirk. "Great job today, then."
"You can't just--!" you protested, but he was already walking away.
"Go dress out, you have seven minutes."
You should have felt both relieved and annoyed. Relieved because you had "finished" your laps, and annoyed because you were sure that counted as sexual harassment or something. But instead, you were relieved and frustrated, because Vivian wasn't just being stupid…and now you had a possible way to not fail this class. That you might come to enjoy.

That concern was echoed Sunday by Akmaluddin Ihsan Oglu, the head of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, who warned that Lebanon could slip into civil war once again if the clases continue. "We want all sides in Lebanon to seek their country's higher interest, which is peaceful coexistence between its people," he said.
Tripoli's hilltop district of Jabal Mohsen is where the first embers of a spreading fire could land.
The neighborhood looms over Bab Tebbaneh, is home to most of Lebanon's tiny Alawite community. The Alawites of Jabal Mohsen have been feuding with the Sunnis of Bab Tebbaneh and other Sunni quarters surrounding the hill since the mid 1970s, which has earned it the dubious distinction of being Lebanon's most volatile neighborhood.
While clashes between the two communities are not uncommon, their severity has increased. Two weeks ago, 10 people were killed in several days fighting here. On Saturday, 12 people died within 24 hours during clashes which allegedly saw mortar rounds being fired for the first time.
Still, the fighting in Tripoli is usually an isolated affair, accepted by most Lebanese as a result of the unfortunate circumstance in which the communities of Bab Tebbaneh and Jabal Mohsen find themselves. The fighting here, even when severe, is unlikely to trigger clashes in other places where Sunnis and Shiites live in close proximity unless there is an additional catalyst. Furthermore, although outbursts of sectarian violence between Sunnis and Shiites are likely in the months ahead, the rival political factions in Lebanon have no interest in allowing the country to slide into civil war. Memories are still fresh of the last conflict that lasted between 1975-1990 which killed over 110,000 people and left the country in ruins.
"I haven't slept since Friday," says Sheikh Masri, rubbing his eyes and running his fingers through his long straggly hair. Outside, Lebanese army armored personnel carriers clattered along Syria Street, the frontline between Bab Tebbaneh and Jabal Mohsen. "They fired eight RPGs [rocket-propelled grenades] at me while I was manning my position," says the sheikh who always participates in the clashes wearing a black combat vest, his black turban and armed with a veteran French sniper rifle.

That was prompted by discovering that I don't really need Charis-SIL any more (it used to be essential for getting IPA glyphs to show up on the language pages of wikipedia, but DejaVu now covers that), and by discovering that I had _too_many_ fonts when I moved to LibreOffice and wanted to select a different font (I like everything to render, whether or not I can read it, so I used to use various packages from debian with _many_ fonts). I am still hoping to propose changes, but as a starter I think that we should just tell people to install the .ttf files [ or .otf, or .ttc for other fonts we don't mention], wherever they are located.

BUT, in e.g. gucharmap I could select these variant fonts after I installed them, ran fc-cache, and restarted the application. In libreoffice they did NOT show up until I went back and followed most of the INSTALL instructions [ fc-cache with a couple of switches, and copying the .conf files - I didn't mess about with conf.avail/ and conf.d/, so far I have all my active fonts in /usr/share/fonts, and any I've temporarily removed are elsewhere ], and then started the app. So, I _guess_ that .conf files are sometimes important. For DejaVu with recent fontconfig, that doesn't seem to be the case. > arch does have some explanation at > https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration#Fontconfig_configuration, > but from that the best I can tell. the .conf files are for tweaks not > built into the .ttf files. > > -- Bruce > Thanks for the reference, I'll look at it later - I'm guessing that any font which fontconfig knows about is probably already covered : for those of us who only want something to render and don't care too much about how it looks. I get worked up about how some latin glyphs appear (particularly, I dislike the 'g' from Times-Roman), I'm sure CJK users get equally heated by what to them are many alien stroke forms on the unified CJK glyphs, and for that the .conf files supposedly allow them to choose simplified or traditional chinese, or japanese, or korean as their preferred form. I _did_ notice that pasting CJK glyphs into 'writer' defaults to one of the AR PL fonts. Perhaps a mention that any .conf file should be installed would be adequate ? I recall that at least one other font (probably one of the indic fonts I got from debian) came with .conf files, but I apparently didn't need them - and now I've dropped all of them because DejaVu and FreeFont cover all the scripts from the Indian subcontinent that I have encountered online (apart from Telugu, which is in lohit from fedora). ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce

I think an useful comparison can be drawn from this thread:
Drunk teen thrown out of friend's house for acting violent. He won't leave, homeowner locks doors and BG tries to break in. Home calls 911 and incident plays out on 911. Guy breaks in 2nd floor, chases them, and the homeowner shoots him. Homeowner tries to give first aid to badguy. Guy continues to resist and homeowner shoots him twice more and kills him.
DA says shooting is justified. No charges.
Here we see our homeowner acting correctly: Bad guy sent outside and doors locked. 911 called very early in incident. Homeowner waited until BG was an immediate threat (after he broke into the house and chased them) and responded with lethal force. Then tried to give BG first aid. As the BG continued to struggle (a threat), he shot him twice more.
