If you get too little, or too much, your brain could suffer.
Ready to feel guilty about puling all those all-nighters in college? The folks at AsapSCIENCE tackle the science of sleeping in their newest video, outlining all the dangers and problems associated with getting a bad night's rest.
They explain the concept of sleep debt and how that debt affects your motor skills. In tests, subjects with less than six hours of sleep functioned over time as if they were inebriated, while subjects with four hours of less functioned so poorly they often fell asleep during their cognitive tests. However, the most shocking information in the video is that some of the effects of oversleeping were more drastic than undersleeping.
That's right, oversleeping can do just as much damage to your body as undersleeping, or worse, with higher rates of mortality for those who oversleep on the regular. The golden rule? Seven to eight hours of uninterrupted sleep, unless you have a specific gene mutation that allows for shorter, more intense sleep. The only way to figure out your exact formula is trial and error, though. The AsapSCIENCE guys suggest you listen to your body and brain—and not the part of your brain telling you to play only one more round of Halo.

Some FactsBelow iAllura Red AC (also known as Red 40) is a red azo dye that goes by several names including: Allura Red, Food Red 17, C.I. 16035, FD&C Red 40, 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid, 6-hydroxy-5-((2-methoxy-5-methyl-4-sulfophenyl)azo)-, disodium salt, and disodium 6-hydroxy-5-((2-methoxy-5-methyl-4-sulfophenyl)azo)-2-naphthalene-sulfonate. It is used as a food dye and has the E number E129. Allura Red AC was originally introduced in the United States as a replacement for the use of amaranth as a food coloring.
It has the appearance of a dark red powder. It usually comes as a sodium salt but can also be used as both calcium and potassium salts. It is soluble in water. In water solution, its maximum absorbance lies at about 504 nm. Its melting point is at 300 degrees Celsius.
Allura Red AC is one of many High Production Volume Chemicals. Some manufacturers of Allura Red AC include: Asim Products, Sanchi Chemicals Pvt. Ltd., and Warner-Jenkinson Europe Ltd.
Red AC was originally manufactured from coal tar but is now mostly made from petroleum. Despite the popular misconception, Allura Red AC is not derived from any insect, unlike the food coloring carmine which is derived from the female cochineal insect.
Related dyes include Sunset Yellow FCF, Scarlet GN, tartrazine, and Orange B.
Allura Red AC has fewer health risks associated with it in comparison to other azo dyes. However, some studies have found some adverse health effects that may be associated with the dye.
Potential behavioral effects:
On 6 September 2007, the British Food Standards Agency revised advice on certain artificial food additives, including E129. Professor Jim Stevenson from Southampton University, and author of the report, said:
"This has been a major study investigating an important area of research. The results suggest that consumption of certain mixtures of artificial food colors and sodium benzoate preservative are associated with increases in hyperactive behavior in children."
"However, parents should not think that simply taking these additives out of food will prevent hyperactive disorders. We know that many other influences are at work but this at least is one a child can avoid."
The following additives were tested in the research:
- Sunset yellow (E110) (FD&C Yellow #6) – Coloring found in squashes
- Carmoisine (E122) – Red coloring in jellies
- Tartrazine (E102) (FD&C Yellow #5) – Yellow coloring
- Ponceau 4R (E124) – Red coloring
- Sodium benzoate (E211) – Preservative
- Quinoline yellow (E104) – Food coloring
- Allura red AC (E129) (FD&C Red #40) – Orange / red food dye
The study found that increased levels of hyperactivity and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and lower IQs were observed in children. Based on the study, the UK agency advises that cutting certain artificial colors (Sunset Yellow, Quinoline Yellow WS, Carmoisine, Allura Red, Tartrazine, and Ponceau 4R) from hyperactive children's diets might have some beneficial effects.
On 10 April 2008, the Foods Standard Agency called for a voluntary removal of the colors (but not sodium benzoate) by 2009. In addition, it recommended that there should be action to phase them out in food and drink in the European Union (EU) over a specified period. The European Food Safety Authority was requested by the UK FSA to review the study, however, and concluded that the study provided only limited evidence for a small, statistically significant effect.[citation needed] On the basis of this, EFSA concluded that the acceptable daily intake of the colors analyzed in the Southampton study did not need to be altered.
UK ministers have agreed that the six colorings will be phased out by 2009.

10,708 Opt Out of Paper W-2s
Duke saves time, paper by printing 22 percent fewer W-2s
Duke is a bit greener, thanks to the choice of 10,708 faculty and staff.
That's how many Duke employees opted out of receiving a paper version of the W-2 tax form, reducing the number of W-2s Duke printed by 22 percent.
"The response was much higher than we expected," said Anne Comilloni, director of operations for Corporate Payroll Services at Duke. "We saved the equivalent of two Xerox boxes worth of paper and at least a day's worth of work from several departments."
This year, Duke offered employees the opportunity to opt out of receiving the paper version by visiting the Duke@Work self-service website. Last year, employees had the option of viewing and printing an electronic W-2 form but could not avoid receiving a paper version.
If Duke hadn't offered the opt-out program, payroll would have printed 46,759 W-2 forms. Instead, slightly more than 36,000 were printed.
The window for opting out of paper for the 2012 tax year has closed, but Payroll plans to make the selection available again in the fall. Employees can view and print online W-2 forms through Duke@Work.

Education chief pushes universities to set pp affiliates overseas
MOSCOW - Export of Russian educational services will increase by no less than 1,000% in the next few years. The prediction was made yesterday by Vladimir Filippov, Russia's education minister, at a press conference on modernizing Russian education , Rosbalt reported. In the view of the minister, Russia earns far too little from export of educational services. 'The US earns approximately USD 433 million a year for training foreign students, while we make a total of USD 2-2.3 million,' he said.
In his view, Russian higher education is entirely competitive in terms of the international educational market. 'We offer a very attractive package of quality and price,' Filippov noted. 'To make this [increase] a reality, we have to create a mechanism to guarantee the quality of education so that a Russian diploma from an institution of higher learning is accepted throughout the world,' the minister said.
He believes that attracting foreign students to Russian higher education involves, 'not stepping up efforts to attract foreign students to come to our institutions of higher learning,but creation of our own network of daughter institutions of Russian universities and institutes abroad.' As teachers , the minister noted, it would be best to attract graduates of Russian institutions of higher learning. It will also be necessary to translate Russian curricula into foreign languages. Filippov is convinced that Russian education will be sought, first of all, in Third World countries-of Africa and Asia as well as in China. /RBC/

Teachers play an important role in fostering the intellectual and social development of children during their formative years. The education that students acquire is key to determining the future of those students. Whether in elementary or high schools or in private or public schools, teachers provide the tools and the environment for their students to develop into responsible adults.
Teachers act as facilitators or coaches, using classroom presentations or individual instruction to help students learn and apply concepts in subjects such as science, mathematics, and English. They plan, evaluate, and assign lessons; prepare, administer, and grade tests; listen to oral presentations; and maintain classroom discipline. Teachers observe and evaluate a student's performance and potential. They are increasingly asked to use new assessment methods
Public school teachers must be licensed, which typically requires a bachelor's degree and the completion of an approved teacher education program; private school teachers do not have to be licensed but may still need a bachelor's degree.
Job prospects are best for teachers in high-demand fields, such as mathematics, science, and bilingual education, and in less desirable urban or rural school districts.
Teachers must have the ability to communicate, inspire trust and confidence, and motivate students, as well as understand students' educational and emotional needs.

Miguel and I were recently discussing an interesting presentation by Martin Fowler and Rebecca Parsons on engaging the Architecture team into your Agile methodology. The presentation is titled "Agilists and Architects: Allies not Adversaries" and the summary points out that "As Agile becomes more accepted, concerns from architecture groups are increasing. Traditional ways that architects engage with development groups conflict with Agile methods."
With architecture being a core component of the OutSystems approach to Agile application development and the role of Delivery Manager, we thought it would be interesting to share this presentation and ask the OutSystems Community how you have embraced architecture while practicing Agile in an Enterprise setting.
For example, many of you are successfully delivering a high degree of reuse while focusing on delivering individual applications. While OutSystems' Agile Platform provides a solid foundation for refactoring code and adjusting architecture in progress, we suspect that there are many instances where your Corporate Architecture team needed to play a role in moving the application delivery forward.
So, if you are a Delivery Manager or Architect it is time to share your experiences of working together in an Agile application development project. How much education was required? Did you feel resistance? What were the lessons learned?

Brussels, Belgium (PressExposure) January 16, 2009 -- Anatomy of Frustration ([http://anatomyoffrustration.com/anatomy-of-frustration.html]) deals with an issue everyone suffers from, but few know how to deal with. Anatomy of Frustration takes a look at frustration and shows how frustration is often the culprit in failure. By learning that, and dealing with frustration as it arises, the author of the book hopes to empower people and help unlock the power to succeed.
The book takes readers through the process from frustration. There are many different stages of frustration, and each stage is important to understand in order to achieve success.
It starts by defining frustration. When people are able to identify frustration and understand the roots of the frustration, they are then able to overcome it. Often, people are not aware of the frustration in their lives, and thus they are not able to adequately deal with it.
In addition, the book explains where frustration comes from. The book is able to identify the root of frustration on the path to success. By dealing with the root of frustration, people are able to get motivated and work for personal and professional success. This is a very important step in regards to personal development and self improvement.
The book outlines the obstacles that frustration cause on your success journey. Not only does it explain the obstacles, but it also tells others how to overcome them. The book works to explain that frustration does not have to cause failure. Many people get frustrated and then fail, but the book explains how that can be avoided by processing the frustration differently, and then taking a different action. By looking at the problem and reacting differently, the author of the book believes people will be much more successful when dealing with frustration.
In addition, fear factor is discussed. The author notes fear must be dealt with in order for someone to unlock their personal power to succeed. Fear often overwhelms people and keeps them from succeeding. Personal development cannot truly be achieved without addressing fear and understanding how to manage it at all times.
The goal of The Anatomy of Frustration is to take something negative and work to transform it into something positive. By taking the negative and turning it into positive, people are then able to create opportunities, possibilities and unlock the power to succeed. The book takes the negative obstacles that get in the way of people as they navigates toward success and teaches them how to deal with them more effectively.
Anatomy of Frustration was written in order to help people on the path to personal and professional fulfillment. The book is designed to help people in different places in their lives, and on different paths in life. Those who want to make positive changes and frustrationproof their lives are encouraged to visit [http://anatomyoffrustration.com/anatomy-of-frustration.html].

Rugby World Cup: Jared Payne loves being centre stage in Brian O'Driscoll role for Ireland
Ulster hero Jared Payne is relishing playing the Brian O'Driscoll role for Ireland in the World Cup.
With the number 13 on his back, previously worn by the legendary O'Driscoll, Payne scored a try in Saturday's 50-7 win over Canada.
And be it against Romania on Sunday at Wembley or later in the tournament, he is keen to resurrect his centre partnership with Robbie Henshaw, fit again after missing the victory over Canada.
The pair have become Joe Schmidt's frontline centre pairing, filling the famed boots of O'Driscoll and Gordon D'Arcy.
"We both had some pretty big boots to fill with D'Arcy and Drico going when we got thrown in there, but I think we handled it pretty well," said Payne.
"And now I'm loving playing in the World Cup. The whole experience has been unreal."

Check out the you tube videos of last years hit, Bright Futures on Broadway and the preview of this years show. Ms. Ivy, keep up the good work in our community for our kids. Your little old house is and has been a great home for educating our students.
I am concerned that the WCCUSD leadership has not come out with any statement condemning the behavior of any employee that engaged in or did not report such emails. WCCUSD has spent a large amount of money on consultants to speak on cultural inclusion, racism and sexism. They are very quick to punish students for their behaviors, yet they(WCCUSD) hide behind "personnel confidentiality", which allows for the perpetuation of racism, sexism, and other deplorable behavior. The District should form a committee to research, review and make recommendations on the plight of students of color and staff insensitivity.
As an educational advocate who work with many students in WCCUSD, the Stewart's behavior shows his disdainment and lack of respect for the students, parents and staff in the WCCUSD. It also reflect the sentiments of many, that WCCUSD has a plantation mentality toward people of color. This man should have been fired immediately, and the District should have issued a public statement regarding its position on this type of behavior. Hope you continue to investigate and let us know, if Stewart is receiving a salary or is currently employed by the District.

Anchorage residents don't seem to be following the Anchorage Economic Development Corp.'s slogan for the city -- "Live. Work. Play." -- to the letter.
Obesity is weighing down Anchorage's standing in an annual assessment of livability that compares 51 cities nationwide, according to Bill Popp, president and CEO of AEDC.
"The fat factor" is a key reason Anchorage slid in the rankings this year, said Popp.
"They caught us eating those Twinkies," said Popp, referring to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey that found Anchorage considers itself to be less healthy than previously thought.
The news came on Wednesday as Popp unveiled a trifecta of reports: the 2014 Anchorage economic forecast, a business confidence index, and the Live. Work. Play. rankings.
On the plus side, the Anchorage economy is expected to add some 1,200 new jobs in the coming year, a slight increase from the 1,000 added last year.
Popp noted that if December estimates hold true, Anchorage is on track to finish with 4.8 percent unemployment in 2013, the lowest rate since 2001.
"It's not just full employment," he said. The city may even be overemployed.
Employment is so tight in Anchorage that businesses are having difficulty attracting workers, he said. The strong numbers are common throughout Southcentral Alaska.
The Matanuska-Susitna Borough is expected to finish 2013 with 7.1 percent unemployment, the lowest since 2000. The Kenai Peninsula is expected to clock in at 7.4 percent unemployment, the best year in nearly a quarter century, said Popp.
Fueling part of the growth is work in the oil and gas patch in Cook Inlet and on the North Slope, which has risen steadily in recent years. If December estimates hold true, the number of workers in the oil industry in Alaska will exceed 15,000 for the first time, he said.
Not everything was rosy in 2013. AEDC had predicted Anchorage would grow by 1,700 jobs last year, so the 1,000 jobs that were actually added fell short of that number. Weighing down growth was the loss of 900 positions that were cut in the public sector, with about 450 losses coming in education and another 450 in federal government.
"We were surprised by the growth and pace of job loss, particularly on the federal side," said Popp.
2014 could come with curveballs, too. The Anchorage School District has announced it will cut hundreds of positions. But state lawmakers are expected to discuss increasing per-pupil funding for the first time in four years, possibly eliminating the need for such drastic reductions.
According to estimates, strong areas of job growth in Anchorage should include:
• Oil and gas, with some 150 new positions forecast.
• Health care, with 350 new jobs forecast.
• Business and professional services -- such as accountants, permitters and lawyers -- is estimated to grow by about 200 positions, with the huge capital budgets passed by the Legislature in recent years helping buoy the hiring.
• Retail trade is expected to add 250 new jobs. Large retail stores, such as Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops, are expected to open this year and will need up to 1,000 new workers. But some retailers are expected to get squeezed by the new competition and may be forced to cut back, cutting into the gains. Also, with employment already tight, employers might not be able to find all the workers they need, said Popp.
As for the Live. Work. Play. assessment, Anchorage experienced the smallest loss in the Work category, falling to fifth place from third in part because other cities are experiencing improvements as the nation's economy comes back to life. The "Work" category takes into account things like wages and commuting time.
AEDC launched the initiative four years ago,with the goal of making Anchorage tops in those three categories by 2025, using self-selected categories and data culled from nationwide studies.
But Anchorage's weight problem caused the city to drop from eighth to 16th in the "Live" category, said Popp. That's primarily because the CDC improved its sampling of health behaviors in Anchorage, leading to a drop in the number of Anchorage residents who report their health as "good" or "better." As a result, Anchorage fell from first place to 25th place.
Anchorage also fell from 12th to 14th in the "Play" category, again in part because the Centers for Disease Control improved its sampling. The agency found that more Anchorage residents consider themselves overweight or obese than had been previously reported, dropping Anchorage from 45th place to 48th.
"We were dinged again by the fat factor," said Popp, who calls himself "severely overweight" but said he's recently gotten a Fitbit, an activity-tracking device that jingles when he's walked 10,000 steps, something he accomplished on Wednesday.
"I'm taking serious steps toward fixing the (weight) problem," he said. "I've got to keep up with my grandson."
AEDC is also taking action. It's recently begun bringing together small business owners and health care and insurance officials to come up with strategies for companies to make their workplaces healthier, he said.
The efforts involve things like improving lunch options, eliminating soft drinks from snack rooms, or encouraging employees to walk during breaks.
"The benefits are more energetic employees with fewer health problems and lower health care costs to the community and companies," said Popp. "And there's obviously a benefit to the Live. Work. Play. initiative."

A panel of three in-house lawyers has denounced the ability of law firms to offer innovative IT solutions.
Counsel at DuPont, Cable & Wireless and Equitas stated at the LegalTech conference that they had never been proactively offered assistance with technology solutions from their law firms.
All three said they had asked their firms to adopt new technology but that proactive IT advice from them was non-existent, despite law firms generally having a much larger IT budget than that of in-house legal departments.
Group general counsel at Cable & Wireless Dan Fitz suggested that if firms have been forced to implement new technology by clients, they should market it to others.
"It's so rare that it would be most welcome if you were to offer something new," said Julie Mazza, corporate counsel at DuPont.
One UK law firm IT manager in the audience said: "The problem we have is persuading partners to take on systems. They're not interested until they've heard that several other firms have something that they don't. Fee-earners just don't read emails regarding new technology."
The news comes as a shock to those firms with close relationships with the three companies. Eversheds advises DuPont, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer advises Equitas and Mayer Brown Rowe & Maw, Shaw Pittman and Simmons & Simmons work with Cable & Wireless. While some firms rallied to say that their clients could not possibly be talking about them, others chose not to comment.
A spokesperson for Simmons said: "We have an online resource called Elexica. It has a vast quantity of knowhow, which no other firm can offer."
"I believe that Julie Mazza was very much speaking from a US perspective. Our very first extranet was for DuPont and it was designed with them," said an Eversheds spokesperson.
Shaw Pittman managing partner Paul Mickey commented: "Using technology to improve client service is one of the themes I've been most interested in during my tenure as managing partner."

The Amsterdam Dinner Movement was a project I started in the fall of 2011, to investigate and organize the underground art scene in Amsterdam. At the time I was running OUTPOST and was wondering how many other small self organized art spaces there were out there, and invited the organizers of seven other small spaces I knew for dinner. This started a series of dinners each time hosted by a new art space.
In December 2011 we participated in the project Kitchen139 with our Shabeen139 project, and in the end of 2012 we participated in the Kunstvlaai art fair with a publication called "A GUIDE TO AMSTERDAM'S SELF-ORGANIZED ART INITIATIVES".
The publication consisted of a screen printed cover with information how to find, download and print the content which consisted of a page for each initiative containing images and text about their practices.
A website was made for the publication which hosted the content as a pdf file, but has later dissapeared from the internet. All there is left of our online presence is this early sketch for a general website:
You can download the pdf here: AmsterdamDinnerMovementfolder.pdf
Below you can read an email I recieved from Taf Hassam, organizer of Goleb, shortly after the first dinner as proposal for the next. You can find the final invitation here:
Hello all,
Here is a quick draft of the press release for The Amsterdam Dinner Movement!!
I figured we could also send it around to the other spaces as an invitation to come and join.
Alexander, let me know what you think, is there any names i missed, i still need to add a few, also do you have a picture in mind we could use?
Yutaka, i think it would be great to do a Treehouse concert, but let me know what would be best for you. I will send Maia a mail today too, see if she has any ideas.
Rumiko – how does this look to you? I think it adds a little warmth to the gesture by using our names… I will also ask Hee-Seung or anyone else at Goleb if they would also like to cook.
Speak soon & thanks!

Project Goleb Presents:
Dinner: 18h00
Concert Doors: 21h30
In the last few months a host of new (self-organized) art initiatives have sprung up all over the Amsterdam landscape, complimenting an array of pre-existing spaces that in the years past have effectively contributed to the cultural and experimental art scene of Amsterdam.
As a means for trying to incite discussion and exchange between these spaces, the Danish artist Alexander Krone initiated The Amsterdam Dinner Movement, a series of dinners for Amsterdam's art initiatives to take place in a host of different spaces across the city.
The idea is to create an informal exchange, where practical knowledge including the possibilities of mutual support systems can be shared, while at the same time creating awareness for the ideas and activities of the other spaces.
The first dinner took place at The Outpost, a production and gallery space organized and curated by Alexander Krone in Amsterdam-West.
Goleb is pleased to announce, for the second instalment of this project, Goleb will be hosting the event on Sunday 23rd October 2011. For this dinner, artists Rumiko Hagiwara (JP) & Taf Hassam (UK) will be cooking up a selection of Japanese and Indian food.
The dinner will begin at 18h00 and will be followed with a free public concert by the band Tree House at 21h30.
The dinner is free and open to any self-organized art initiative operating in the Amsterdam area.
If you would like to join, please send an email to Taf Hassam email@example.com to give an indication for how many people will be joining. Once you have emailed, your space and website address will appear on the list below.

Like every year, the annual SHOT Show 2017 in Vegas has endless aisles of new guns and accessories to look at, but only a select few worth any serious attention, particularly if your primary goal as an armed citizen is concealed carry and personal protection. This year, I'm going to skip going into any detail on the flashy new guns that are not actually in production yet (unless they're very close to it). There were some interesting new concepts on display that are still in the prototype or pre-production phase like the unusual Hudson H9 and the Avidity Arms PD10 pistols. But I'm reluctant to say much about either until they're closer to being a reality and we can see the final product that's actually going to ship.
I'm also intentionally ignoring some of the budget gun makers who consistently release broken products that no person should have to rely on for personal protection. With plenty of "affordable-but-decent" offerings from Ruger, reliable S&W Shield 9mm pistols priced at $300 or less, and a used market flush with quality brands at low prices, I can think of few reasons to even consider an unreliable bargain brand defensive handgun in 2017.
So with that in mind, here are a few of the concealable handguns on display at SHOT Show 2017 from reputable manufacturers that are actually on store shelves, or headed that way soon.
Ruger LCP II
This updated version of Ruger's most popular handgun was released late last year. The original LCP was a hammer-fired double-action only design, but Ruger has re-worked the action so that the LCP II is now a single-action only pistol with a safety "paddle" on the trigger. The feel is very similar to a light striker fired action.
The new LCP II also has improved grip texture, improved ergonomics that help mitigate recoil, and slightly larger sights. Based on my first impressions, it does appear to be a big improvement over the original LCP, but I believe the best version of this pistol was the LCP Custom introduced a couple of years ago. That was the LCP with the bright red trigger and nearly full-size sights. A Ruger rep told me the LCP Custom will remain in production but only small runs offered at sporadic intervals.
Unlike the original, the LCP II slide does lock open after the final round in the magazine is fired, assuming the newly designed LCP II magazines are used. The original LCP mags are supposed to work, minus the hold-open feature, but that doesn't quite seem to be the case.

|barrel length

|single-action only
Beretta PX4 Compact Carry
I covered this limited production Beretta variant at SHOT Show last year and mentioned it again in my review of the standard PX4 Compact. A year ago, the idea of the PX4 Compact Carry had barely been given the green light but now they are finally shipping. Beretta has sent the first batch of 1500 guns from Italy and thanks to an enthusiastic response from the market, I'm told more are coming soon.
The PX4 Compact Carry incorporates a few important but subtle modifications that were initially suggested by Ernest Langdon. It has low profile safety levers, low profile slide release levers, and the action has been converted to the de-cock only found in Beretta's "G" model variants. To improve grip texture, Talon grip tape has been added, and CAP sights from Ameriglo help tremendously with rapid sight picture acquisition. The PX4 compact also includes Beretta's drop-in competition trigger kit, and a grey Cerakote finish on the slide.
Full disclosure: I'm an unapologetic Langdon fan and generally in agreement with Ernest on the optimal way to set up and run a defensive pistol. So it should come as no surprise that I'm enthusiastic about this one. In fact, with the exception of the slide finish, I have applied all of the same mods to my personal PX4 Compact. In my opinion, the PX4 Compact Carry is the absolute best factory DA/SA carry gun you can buy right now. Hopefully, the popularity of this model will continue and we'll get to see it become a regular part of Beretta's catalog.

Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0
This one has been rumored for a while, and the first photos were leaked a few days ahead of Smith & Wesson's planned announcement, so you may already be familiar with the second generation of Smith & Wesson's flagship handgun, the M&P. The new version is called the M&P 2.0, and while it's not a radical departure from the original design, a few key features have been tweaked based on customer feedback over the years since the release of the original M&P.
The main changes most people will notice are the new aggressive grip texture and the modified trigger. The slippery grip was one of the common complaints of the original M&P, but I kind of wonder if the 2.0 texture has gone too far in the other direction. The texture is not at all subtle. Personally, I can see how it would be advantageous for controlling recoil, but I wonder if novice shooters handling the pistol in a gun shop will find it to be overkill. I'm told the accuracy issues that plagued the original 9mm models have also been rectified.
I think the new trigger is probably an improvement over the original, but to be honest, no two M&P triggers I've fired or handled have felt the same to begin with. Between minor design tweaks and manufacturing inconsistencies, buying a new M&P has always been a game of trigger roulette. In line with the trend I mentioned above, the M&P 2.0 trigger seems to have a slightly longer takeup and a lighter break, but I would need to compare it side by side with an original M&P to offer a real assessment.
The new M&P is being offered in full size 9mm and .40 S&W with a 4.25-inch barrel and .45 ACP with a 4.6-inch barrel. All models are available with or without the manual thumb safety. An extended-slide 5-inch barrel version is also available in 9mm and .40 S&W. Unfortunately, there is no compact M&P 2.0 yet, and the Smith & Wesson rep I talked to at SHOT was unable to offer any speculation as to when they might be available.

CZ is the latest major gun company to join the Glockification of the US handgun market. Their new P10 C pistol is… well, it's another black, polymer, compact, striker-fired 9mm. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Ruger rolled out their American pistol last year, and though I didn't find anything objectionable about it, I was thoroughly unimpressed. I feel much the same way about the CZ P10 C. I'm sure it's a fine firearm, but with excellent striker-fired options already available from Glock, S&W, Sig and H&K, what can another new black plastic pistol offer that's not already available and proven?
From what I've seen so far, it sounds like CZ is attempting to compete on price. It's a strategy that's worked well for their hammer-fired pistols — they have have traditionally been considered a bit "less refined" and therefore priced slightly below the A-list competition, but offered with quality and customer service superior to the true budget-grade brands. Still, CZ isn't the only company playing the "just like Glock but cheaper!" card, so they've got their work cut out for them.

Ruger American Compact
Speaking of the Ruger American, back in September, Ruger announced a new compact version of their striker-fired polymer pistol. Despite being pretty lukewarm about the Ruger American, I was curious to see what direction they would go with the compact model. The industry's definition of a "compact pistol" is anything but standard and one company's compact can sometimes be closer to another company's full size model. The Ruger American Compact falls on the smaller end of the compact scale, occupying that size gap between a Glock 19 and Glock 26. That makes it similar in size to the S&W M&P Compact as well as the compact versions of Ruger's own SR series.
The 9mm American compact has a capacity of 10+1 but also accepts the 17-round magazines of the full size. There's also a .45 version with a 7-round capacity, or 10 if the larger mags are used. Oddly, the 9mm version is a tenth of an ounce heavier than the .45 version despite having a slightly shorter barrel. Ruger doesn't seem to be in a hurry to release a .40 S&W version, which may be indicative of another coming trend in the handgun world.

Sig Sauer P320 X-Carry
Since first introducing their striker-fired P320 pistols in 2014, Sig has been rapidly expanding the line to include additional sizes and calibers. The new X-series P320 pistols are the first of what could be considered "factory custom" variants of the P320. The P320 X-Carry is a concealed carry version of the P320 X-Five competition-oriented model, also new this year.
The flat trigger found on the X-Carry is a style that has long been popular in competition shooting and precision rifles, but we're beginning to see them work their way into self-defense oriented firearms. Many shooters find that the flat trigger offers a more consistent trigger press during strings of rapid fire. The adjustable rear sight sits on a base that can be removed to reveal a slide that is machined to accept a micro red dot optic. Unfortunately, there is no provision for retaining a rear sight when an optic is installed, so co-witnessing is not possible, barring some future solution from Sig or a third party. To help reduce weight, there's also a large cutout in the forward portion of the top of the slide.
Minor tweaks to the frame reflect attributes that high performance shooters often look for in handgun ergonomics such as an undercut trigger guard and aggressive grip texture. The bull barrel and flared mag well found on the X-Five are not present on the X-Carry, but interestingly, Sig decided to retain the extended beaver tail on the carry model. The X-Carry ships with three 17-round magazines.
It's really interesting to see these competition features in a gun designed for concealed carry, and it will no doubt be a big seller for Sig. I have yet to jump on the micro RDS pistol bandwagon, and I think most shooters are reluctant to add accessories that cost as much as the gun itself. That said, their popularity is rapidly growing and I'm going to have to see what all the fuss is about sooner or later.
The new P320 X-Carry will begin shipping in March 2017.

Trigger Trends
Besides looking at new products on an individual basis, it's often telling to take a broader perspective and try to spot trends in the industry. The new semi-autos on display at SHOT 2017 follow a trend that's been going for several years now. With the exception of the DA/SA Beretta, every semi-auto I listed above has followed (or at least shown an attempt to follow) the trend toward lighter trigger pulls. The idea seems to be to simulate the feel of a light single action trigger with a long but light takeup (or "pre-travel"). If that's the kind of trigger you prefer, you can pick from just about any striker-fired pistol design released in the last three years (Except Glock. They're still going with the "enhanced staple gun" trigger). My personal preference on a striker-fired pistol is for a consistent "rolling" trigger break of moderate weight that feels like a short double action, or perhaps a lighter rolling break if a manual thumb safety is present. But as usual, it seems the market is headed in a direction opposite my preferences.
I can hardly blame the manufacturers for this. The trend is a direct response to consumer demand for lighter triggers, but lighter is not always better. I believe the lighter triggers are ultimately going to contribute to more negligent discharges without a significant improvement of the "low and left" accuracy problems that often plague budding handgun shooters. It's possible I'm underestimating the trigger discipline of the average handgun owner, but I doubt it.
There were plenty of new revolvers to check out this year at SHOT, and I did a pretty thorough rundown in my last post, SHOT Show 2017: Revolvers Everywhere! Of the eight new revolvers I profiled in that post, I'd narrow the field down to three models that are specifically well-suited for concealed carry.
For an ultra compact pocket revolver, there's an excellent new Smith & Wesson Performance Center variant of their trusted Model 642. The lightweight 5-shot .38 spl +P snubby has been a favorite of the S&W catalog for years, and this new version has a fantastic tuned action and a set of low-profile ergonomic grips.
Stepping up in size just a hair, there's the new Colt Cobra. This will give you six shots instead of five, but it's got a heavier steel frame and a larger grip — by far easier to shoot than a lightweight snubby, but slightly more challenging to conceal. With the exposed hammer spur, I wouldn't call it a pocket gun by any stretch. This is the first double action Colt made in over two decades, so we're all still holding our breath to find out if the new Cobra is worthy of the name.
For a truly medium size carry revolver, Smith & Wesson introduced a 2.75-inch version of their Model 66 Combat Magnum. I am very reluctant to recommend new S&W revolvers that include the problematic internal safety lock, but I have a hard time not being at least a little bit excited about this offering. I really like the shorter barrel K-frames, and this is the first one S&W has produced in several years.
Be sure to check out the other post for details on these and other new revolvers featured at SHOT 2017.

Isn't it bad enough that he is bullied by several football players, and they are the very ones he has to investigate!? But now he has to find out if they are circulating a deadly drug with a huge side effect: it turns a kid into a hideous, blood-sucking chupacabra!
Sure, he has wizard powers, but he never really used them before. Plus, he can't tell a single person about his undercover work, not even his best friend, Sam. And his parents expected him to keep his schoolwork and grades up, or he will get grounded.
David feels in over his head.
But as he delves deeper and deeper into the case, he realizes he must solve it quickly before a murder occurs, especially his own!

Magic in a high school
This is by far one of the best audiobooks I have listened to. The story was entertaining and flowed extremely fast. I didn't want to stop listening to the book until I was finished. I can't wait to listen to the next one!
This is the first I have listened to and wouldn't hesitate to listen to another one of his books. His voice made me love the characters I was supposed to love and hate the characters I was supposed to.
I really did mostly listen to this all in one sitting. It was an exceptionally good listen!

Book Review by Mark Ollard
To say that the stories of Arthur are enduring and popular is an understatement. Second only to Jesus as the Once and Future King, he has become iconic in english culture, and so potent was Arthurian mythos that had the elder son of Henry VII survived, he would have been crowned Arthur II.
Most of us understand that Arthur's realm is no more real than Tolkein's Middle Earth, or that medieval knights in shining armour are ridiculously anachronistic in that dark age between the Roman provinces of Britannia and Anglo-Saxon Britain. One writer complained that no-one else has generated so much pointless literature. Another muses that to research Arthur is to study the history of the myth of the legend.
Nonetheless people often exhibit an alarming need to find truth in stories. You need only see the hold conspiracy theories have over modern society. Chris Barber's King Arthur - A Mystery Unravelled, is another attempt to identify the man behind more than a thousand years of storytelling. The traditional connection to England is discarded and a trail of evidence is produced to show he was from Wales. This isn't the first work to support that theme, which must be said does often come across as more convincing than the usual attempts at identifying places and events.
The book doesn't wait for the end of the book to conclude who Arthur was. In the very first chapter the author lists the various documented Arthur's relevant to the mythology and pulls his choice from the mix. Why this man? Well, there's another twenty chapters to expain that for us. If that sounds as if the reader should expect a detailed and convoluted argument, the reader will not be disappointed. Unravelling any coherent argument for a real Arthur requires one to wade through obscure source material, much of it unknown to the average person.
Next we arrive at the door of Geoffery of Monmouth, the medieval cleric derided by his contemporaries for his outrageous writing and the man generally credited with recreating Arthur as a king of England. This is in some ways a bold step in Barber's narrative given how Geoffery was writing far more of a fantasy than history, but the important message is that Geoffery used material with far better provenance than his own, and this is a springboard to discuss the relevance of a swathe of older documents.
The author spends two chapters placing Arthur in context, describing his family and relationships with better known individuals from history. Compiled from thirty years of work the information is delivered wholesale, and although broken down into themed sections, it does require some patience to finish it. We move on to subjects in following chapters concerning the misleading red herrings of Arthurian mythos, the realm that Arthur actually lived in, and significantly discusses exactly who the enemies were that Arthur fought against.
The various battles said to have been won by Arthur are discussed with the same level of deliberation and research. The majority are just as difficult to place on the map as for any other writer who tries but Barber makes a fair shot of it. That last battle, Camlann, where Arthur receives his mortal wounds and abdicates gets a chapter of its own, and of course the infamous Battle of Badon Hill - the victory that supposedly secured decades of peace, also gets a chapter. Better yet, there's another chapter that looks at Arthur's campaign in Gaul, and even compares these with the sweeping tales of Geoffery of Monmouth, who claimed Arthur fought campaigns on the Roman periphery, and once, for no other reason than there wasn't anyone left to fight, took on the Roman Empire itself. Of course the author is wise enough to see the exaggeration for himself, making this book as thorough as is practical.
This unravelling of the puzzle is what the book is about. We have a hero of the Dark Age who is thought to have been a tribal warlord. Or a noble King. Or a Roman Count. Or Duke. Some have even credited Arthur as Emperor. Which piece fits? What picture emerges? Here we inadvertantly stumble on perhaps the book's biggest and most subtle issue. In science, the responsible way is to gather data and derive conclusions from your findings. This book reads more like the opposite, start with a conclusion and gather evidence to prove it, which in science has caused more wrong conclusions than anything else. Maybe this is unintentionally harsh - after all complete evidence is not possible, the source material fanciful and inconsistent, or even completely invented.
What you will find is a book that is serious about the conclusion it describes. Patriotic or personal, the authors passion is obvious, but I note the absence of distractions which detract from objectivity, a very difficult accomplishment when discussing a legend. The style is sraightforward and the book has a number of colour photographs and illustations that are both contextual and conform to the atmosphere of the subject.
For all that is good about this book there is something uncomfortable about it. An origin outside of England isn't so hard to accept, but the native welsh names lend an almost alien quality, and in fact the publishers of Chris Barber's previous book on this theme had asked him to anglicise names for that very reason. He was right to refuse, but the issue remains, made worse by the mismatch of latin and welsh names even between brothers. Perhaps more insidious is the love of mystery. As much as we are fascinated by the debate, how many will prefer the legend to the rather understated Welshman we are introduced to? One cannot help wondering how this man spawned the inflated romances of the Middle Ages, never mind our modern obsessions.

Has Chris Barber won noble victory in his quest for the real Arthur? No, but he returns to Camelot with honour intact, and a book that for all its faults contains important messages for those delving into the darkness of early medieval Britain. This is a work of flawed excellence. Great for Dark Age information, insight, and debate - but Arthur? You'll have to decide that yourself.
Chris Barber is a well-established author with thirty one books published to date. They cover such subjects as mountaineering, industrial archaeology, prehistoric standing stones, and the mysteries and legends of Wales. His skills as a photographer are widely acknowledged and his illustrated lectures are very popular. He is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and was awarded the MBE for 'Services to the Community and Tourism' in the 2008 New Year's Honours list. His many interests and achievements have also been recognised by an entry in 'Who's Who in the World'.

When the white HTC splash screen came up I could see the outline of the keyboard. It was a bit of a shock! I downloaded one of those silly torch apps that make the screen go white so I could get a good look at it. It's only faint and can only been seen on a white background but it's definitely there. I've had the phone about 7 months and must say I text far too much so the keyboard is on quite a lot. Anybody else experiencing this? Any idea if I'd get a replacement from t-mobile if I pushed for one?

Editor's note: This article is reposted with permission by The Real Deal. Click here to view the original article.
Compiled by LAUREN ELKIES
The Real Deal asked some agents the greatest compliment and greatest insult they have received in connection with their job. Many agents said winning a client or deal was the source of both. Beyond that, agents have received compliments ranging from sentimental messages to a bobblehead doll made in a broker's likeness, and insults including being called less than a used carpet salesperson.
Here are some of the compliments and insults brokers have received:
Zhann Jochinke, an associate broker at Argo and co-chair of the market trends committee at the Manhattan Association of Realtors
Compliment: One client had a custom bobblehead made in my image, with a sharp suit and cell phone in hand, and sent it to me with a note saying: "Thank you for being the consummate professional, always there for our every question, dedicated day-in and day-out; we now have the perfect home."
Insult: It wasn't really directed to me as an individual but to the industry as a whole. It came from a FSBO (For Sale By Owner), who after a lengthy discussion of the advantages of using a broker/Realtor, said that she thought all brokers were scum and were second only to attorneys. Even after that slight, I managed to get the listing, having the owner concede that she also saw us as a necessary evil — just like attorneys.
Klara Madlin, president of Klara Madlin Real Estate
Compliment: I had shown a couple apartments for a long time and they finally purchased and moved in. A week later, the wife called and said, "I miss you so much. You became part of the family and it seems strange to have days go by without speaking to you."
Insult: The worst thing I was ever called was by an attorney. Her client was a buyer who put an offer in with no financing contingency; however, the home appraised low. The attorney wanted me to split the difference; when I said "No," she said, "I thought you were a big-shot broker but you're just small potatoes."
Adina Azarian, president, Adina Equities
Compliment: When landlords I work for exclusively give me the authority to approve my own applications for their apartments for rent. …CONTINUED

Griffiths, Paul. LET ME TELL YOU. London, England: Reality Street, 2008. Softcover. First Edition/First Printing. 145 pages. As New.
The author's novella, inspired by Shakespeare. One of Paul Griffiths' finest achievements. The First Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the 2014 Reissued Edition. Published in a tiny first print run as a softcover original only and as part of the Reality Street Editions. The First Edition is now rare. Presents Paul Griffiths' "Let Me Tell You". Ophelia, tragic victim of Hamlet's blind fury, resurrected, "singing" in her own voice. " 'So: Now I come to speak. At last. I will tell you all I know'. These are the words of Ophelia at the beginning of this short novel: Literally her words, in that her narrative is composed entirely of the vocabulary she is allotted in 'Hamlet'. Within these meagre resources, she manages to express herself on topics including her love for her father Polonius, her care for her younger brother Laertes, her puzzlement in the face of the Prince himself, and her increasing sense that she must escape the fate awaiting her in the play. This is no mere technical exercise or prequel to the play: The use of such a restricted vocabulary means that Ophelia's voice, while direct and passionate, gains musical qualities as words keep recurring in perpetually changing contexts" (Publisher's blurb). Paul Griffiths is one of the greatest living writers on music. Less-well-known is that he is also the brilliant novelist of such ground-breaking marvels as "Myself And Marco Polo" (1989). The words Griffiths assigns to Ophelia in his novella were subsequently adapted by him into the dramatic monologue for soprano, also called "Let Me Tell You". Composed by Hans Abrahamsen expressly for Barbara Hannigan, her live performances and CD recording of the piece are among the "knockout" musical experiences anyone is likely to have in their lifetime. An absolute "must-have" title for Paul Griffiths collectors. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the First Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: ALL other copies available online are subsequent printings, particularly the 2014 Reissued Edition. A rare copy thus. One of the most brilliant writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER PAUL GRIFFITHS TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 1874400431. $50.00

I make a living as a professional grillmaster selling my food at fairs and festivals and doing private events on the East Coast. I've been very fortunate to make a living doing what I love to do. I'm here because even when I'm not working-grilling I'm at home grilling up new things and sharing recipes with my neighbors, family and fariends. I guess you could say now I'm addicted to talking to other people who love grilling as much as I do. I guess you could say I love to grill. Thanks for having this forum. BBQ has come a long way. I'm glad to be part of it. Wayne M. Schafer.

STEELERS' boss Ryan Finnerty believes Scott Champagne is maturing nicely within the Sheffield roster.
The ex-Belfast Giants' playmaker has played two games since signing for the third-placed Steelers. His chemistry with top scorer Jeff Legue is vital if the side is to overhaul Nottingham Panthers' big lead at the top of the Elite division.
"He brings us something we need" said Finnerty. "He is creative, good on the Power Play and great in the dressing room. He has solidified the line with 'Leggy.' Their partnership will get better as they get more used to each other."
Sheffield, who play at Fife tonight, need the other lines to be active scorers too. The Ashley Tait/Shawn Limpright/Steve Goertzen combo has done well lately. And Tylor Michel/Jason Hewitt/Jonathan Phillips will hope to emulate the form they showed when they "carried the team" earlier this season, said Finnerty.
