Disability Education Network (DEN) List
To facilitate communication between staff across the Region an email listserver, 'den-list', has been established.
To subscribe go to http://mailman.newcastle.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/den-list, or see below.
DEN is the framework established in 2000 by the Hunter/Central Coast NDCO to facilitate the creation of a cross-sectoral forum of staff from schools, Vocational Education and Training, universities, employment services, and post-school services responsible for supporting students and people with a disability, or ongoing medical condition, throughout their studies or into their chosen pathway. A listserver, 'den-list', has been established to support the Network and to encourage communication between staff.
DEN is a service for professionals working directly with students and people with a disability, or who have an interest in disability issues, and who are located in the Hunter and Central Coast Regions of NSW.
There is no requirement to apply for DEN membership and there are no fees payable. All staff (or each school) automatically receives ongoing information from the convenor of the Network through the email list following their request for subscription through the NDCO, or through using the link above to self-subscribe.
For more information contact the NDCO.
There are many advantages to joining an email list:
You can:
- have regular contact with colleagues from each sector
- have access to accurate and comprehensive information when assisting students plan their post-school options, as well as immediate contact with relevant staff who can assist in this process
- access a diverse membership when assisting people with a disability move forward
- keep up to date with issues occuring in our area of work
- find out about meetings, activities, conferences and so on first hand
- source out equipment or resources, and
- get answers to problematic issues almost immediately from experienced colleagues regionally and from overseas
The following information provides details on how to subscribe, how this particular listserver operates, and general details on the protocol of list use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can join 'den-list'?
'Den-list' was created by the Newcastle-Hunter NDCO in 2000 specifically for staff within the Hunter and Central Coast Regions of NSW and is a 'closed' list. This means that only subscribers can post messages to the list. However, the subscription process is 'open' to allow staff (and interested colleagues) to self-subscribe from their own computers, which is then approved by the NDCO. As the list became more active, we accepted requests from interstate and overseas colleagues to join as well.
How can members subscribe?
Staff can send their email address to the NDCO to be subscribed. Alternatively, you can subscribe and unsubscribe by going to the following webpage http://mailman.newcastle.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/den-list (it includes instructions on what to do). You can also view archived 'den-list' messages from this webpage.
If this process is a little daunting, the NDCO is happy to complete the subscription for you - just ring (02 4921 8844), send a fax (02 4921 6939), or send an email request to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Once a person has been advised (by the server) that they are subscribed to 'den-list', they can begin participating in discussions by sending a message (asking a question or initiating a topic) to email@example.com. The posting is then forwarded automatically to all other subscribers. 'den-list' is also set up so when subscribers REPLY to postings received from the list, the response goes only to the sender. (I've seen some embarassing messages when people thought their replies were private, but they actually went to everyone on the list - hence why the moderation is set this way). If you'd like your reply to go to everyone on the list, choose the 'reply to all' option.
The following information on the use of listserves (and some hints on email protocol) has been provided for your use. The section on 'Responding' is very useful. Please contact the NDCO if you have any queries or experience any difficulties.
Protocol for Participation in 'den-list'
The protocol for participation in the 'den-list' has been modeled on that written in 2000 for 'austed-list', the listserve for the Australian Disability Clearninghouse on Education and Training. We hope that this protocol contributes to making participation on 'den-list' a satisfying and rewarding experience.
'Character': 'den-list' has its own 'character', just like any 'real' grouping of people such as a party or a meeting. Lists function best when subscribers respect the character of the list - and perhaps also the inexperience or idiosyncrasies of some of its participants.
Confidentiality: While we don't want to stifle discussion and the free flow of ideas and opinion, we suggest that subscribers should consider the circumstances and concerns of different groups. When describing a real-life situation it is wise to maintain confidentiality regarding the identity of any individuals concerned so that other subscribers cannot deduce who is the subject of your posting. Quite apart from the potential for offending others, if confidentiality is breached legal action could ensue.
Humour/Trivia: There is a place for humour and some trivia on lists. However, it is important that the authors of such material indicate the nature of the contents of the posting clearly in the subject line so that subscribers who do not want to read it can delete the whole posting. A suggested subject line tag is 'Non-disability related humour'. To signal humorous intent in the body of a message, use some sort of stage direction in eg *smile*, *grin*.
DEN encourages people to actively participate in 'den-list' (rather than 'lurking' shyly on the sidelines). The exchange of ideas, comments, and information is essential to the success of any list. If you doubt what you have to say would be of interest or value, ask an experienced friend on the list or the list manager at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Subject lines
Subject line: Always label messages with a succinct descriptive/meaningful subject line. Subject lines such as 'What about this?' or 'Message from me' are nonsensical and out of context, and therefore undesirable. If it is not possible to make the subject of a message clear in a few words on the subject line, it is suggested that subscribers take a line or two in the body of the post to explain it.
Original subject line: If you are participating in a discussion on a particular topic, be careful to retain the original subject line exactly. This assists other subscribers wanting to follow contributions to the discussion as it occurs or later, when postings to the list may be archived for research purposes.
Acronyms: Acronyms and abbreviations make sense to some but certainly not to all readers. However, they often make no sense whatsoever to screen reader machines. DEN suggests that wherever possible full titles should be included or, at least, a number of words which convey clear information.
CAPS: From time to time list subscribers may wish to express a strong opinion (positive or negative) in print. In electronic communication 'ALL CAPS' has been designated as one way to emphasise a point. However, the use of uppercase/capital letters in postings is sometimes considered to be rude - like SHOUTING in people's ears. So, think carefully about the impact caps may have and use them sparingly. It is important that such postings are brief because CAPS are much harder to read than mixed upper- and lower-case.
Formats: When forwarding files it is important to offer a 'text only' format. There are several programs that produce documents that are difficult for many subscribers to access. An example is portable document files, or 'pdf' files, which allow subscribers to read but not to copy the text presented. Other examples of programs that can be problematic are Microsoft PowerPoint and Acrobat Reader. Although there are fewer Macintosh computers in the tertiary education and training sectors, it is also thoughtful to offer files in Macintosh format.
Key words: For some lists there are particular words which should not be used in the first few lines of the text of the message. It is important to avoid use of the words 'subscribe' or 'unsubscribe' in the first seven lines because the server might read this as an administrative command rather than a general posting.
Line length: Try to configure your email to keep each line in the message shorter than 70 characters. This is an optimal length for efficient reading on-screen.
Punctuation and symbols: Using extra punctuation for emphasis can create an irritating problem for subscribers using assistive technologies. For example, where exclamation marks are used for emphasis eg 'This is how it is!!!!!', voice synthesisers will read aloud as follows: 'This is how it is exclamation mark exclamation mark exclamation mark exclamation mark exclamation mark.' Also, be aware that section breaks made up of, say, 'equal' signs and 'emoticons', or symbols made up of punctuation marks (eg 'smilies' and 'frownies') are read very literally by synthetic speech systems and they sound like gibberish too.
Tables: Try to avoid sending documents that include tables because, often, screen reading technology and braille output devices do not translate them in a manner that is meaningful. However, when it is essential to send tabular information, we suggest you present it in a linear format that all subscribers can read. Linear format means there is only one piece of information on each line, from left to right, as compared to that of a table where there might be three or four or more separate entries from left to right. Guidelines for ensuring that tabular information is accessible for subscribers using assistive technology has been prepared by the 'Round Table on Information Access for People with Print Disabilities', and is available for purchase from that body.
Topics: It is preferable if postings contain information relating to one topic only. This facilitates easy reading, re-direction, filing and archiving.
Web addresses: If you refer subscribers to a website, ensure that you give the whole web address including 'http://' as this will allow subscribers to go straight to the site by either clicking on it or by cutting and pasting the URL direct to their web browser.
White space: For people who have a print disability (rather than a vision impairment), it is important to present information in relatively short sentences in clearly separated sections or paragraphs. This latter strategy creates helpful white space around each 'idea' associated with the topic specified in the subject line.
DEN recommends that you think carefully before posting a message with an attachment to the whole list. Attachments add to the time it takes everyone to download messages. Further, some subscribers refuse to open messages with attachments out of irritation or for fear of acquiring a virus - so your effort could be wasted.
Accessibility: Probably the most accessible versions of attachments to send are Word or PDF format and 'text only with line breaks'.
Advice: If you want to send an attachment as part of your message and you are not sure about the most effective way to do that, feel free to seek advice from the list itself or the list 'manager'.
Alternatives: Another way to disseminate documents, especially large files, is to put them on a website. The list manager can organise for material to be placed on the NDCO/DEN website. You can then send a brief explanation of the document to the list and give the web address or an ftp (file transfer protocol address). A second option is to post a brief message giving an overview of the document contents and invite subscribers to mail you directly if they would like a copy emailed or mailed to them.
Duplicate: It may be useful sometimes to send two (2) versions of an attachment, or, to enclose one plain text version at the end of the post itself and attach the other with all its enhancements.
Enclosing large documents: Enclosing documents as a way of avoiding problems with attachments may not be so successful with large documents of, say, four or five pages. These may need to be broken up and sent in separate email transmissions. In such instances it is important that each post have an appropriate identifying number or letter in the subject line eg DET Part 1.doc
Graphical images: Avoid sending attachments that contain graphical images such as letterheads. These become large files which will be cumbersome for everyone - and unreadable for some subscribers.
Identify: If attachments accompany a post to the list, they should always be given a meaningful name/title, preferably including a date, for example DEN Minutes 25.12.01.doc
Prior advice: Always include in the text of your message an explanatory note detailing the format/version of any attachment.
Suffix: Give attachment/s an appropriate suffix (extension) such as '.txt' or '.doc' to allow the user to quickly determine the file format (plain text or Word)
VCF attachments: (see signing off below)
Viruses: As indicated above, some subscribers will refuse to open attachments for fear of acquiring a virus. To minimise the risk of viruses being transmitted to other computers, include the text of the attachment within the body of a posting.
The 'den-list' is set up so that, if subscribers REPLY to postings received from the list, the response will go automatically to every subscriber to 'den-list' - unless it is specifically redirected to another address.
At the top: When replying to the list or to an individual, ensure that your reply goes at the top of your posting and not at the bottom. This measure helps subscribers using assistive technology to avoid having to listen to the whole posting again before they find new text.
Cross posting: Sometimes, when people subscribe to more than one list, they might wish to forward material from one list to subscribers on another list. This is known as 'cross-posting', although the term is also used when a person sends the same message to more than one list (and there is a concern that some people will receive it more than once).
'Flames': A flame is an emotionally charged posting expressing perhaps anger or criticism and usually directed at someone in particular but sent to the entire list - a sort of public put-down. Such postings are discouraged on 'den-list'. DEN suggests that, although subscribers may disagree with views expressed from time to time, courtesy and professional consideration should be shown towards other subscribers at all times. Please remember too that facetiousness and sarcasm can be misunderstood easily in electronic communication.
Forwarding messages: Under ordinary circumstances forwarding a message to another person or the list will result in the accumulation of numerous lines of technical information at the top of the posting. These lines can be problematic for subscribers using speech technology because, again, they have to endure a lot of 'gibberish' before they get to the content itself. It is helpful to delete that redirection information, or, if you believe that parts of it are relevant to the message, cut and paste it to the bottom of your message.
In one hit: Try to ensure that the reply is presented in one hit (sentence or paragraph) rather than interspersed throughout the original message, eg. when responding to questions.
Longer postings: When responding briefly to long postings it is better to delete the original message to save other subscribers time and money downloading it again - but first, check that the subject line is still clear and appropriate. If it is relevant to refer to a passage from the original posting, please paraphrase it or cut and paste a brief excerpt in the body of your message.
Relevance to the list: Short replies without context such as 'Great Idea' or 'Me too' intended for the author of an earlier posting should be directed specifically to that person, and not posted to everyone on the list.
Signing off
Signatures: At the end of each of your postings we suggest that you include a brief electronic 'signature' - perhaps your name and email address in plain text. However, because email addresses are often difficult to interpret, subscribers are encouraged also to include perhaps their school or institutional affiliation and a telephone number.
Quotations: The use in signatures of profound or funny quotations, philosophical statements or social comment is discouraged. Such wisdom or humour soon loses its freshness and it takes up valuable bandwidth and computer space.
VCF attachments: VCF stands for 'virtual card file'. VCFs come as an attachment to every message sent by people who use Microsoft Outlook to create a virtual business card. However, in order to read a VCF, recipients must have the Microsoft Outlook vCard reader software installed on their system. Few people use Outlook and even fewer have the necessary software, so using a VCF is not the best way of distributing contact details. Further, being an attachment, it can be annoying for other list participants. Therefore, DEN suggests that list participants use a plain text signature file instead.
List 'Manager'
If you experience any difficulties, or have questions relating to the list and wish to speak with a 'person', contact the NDCO, Kay Dean.

North Carolina State Library =M2.. Raleigh c. z. SOME FACTS CONCERNING MALARIA I UED BY ORTH CAROLI A T TE BOARD OF HEALTH RALEIGH, . c. SOME FACTS CONCERNING MALARIA/ Malaria, one of North Carolina's most serious diseases, killed"--' nearly one hundred North Carolinians in 1937. No one knows how many people weakened by malaria died from other diseases. Every year over four thousand people die of it in the United States. For every person it kills it makes several hundred sick; this means that about thirty thousand people in our State suffer from malaria every year. Because of it people who otherwise would be strong, happy and healthy become listless, sick and lazy. It destroys the new, healthy red corpuscles in the blood and often causes disagreeable chills and fever. Many people who have malaria are not able to have comfortable homes and other things which they and their families might otherwise enjoy, for they have neither the ambition, the strength nor the energy to work for these things. HOW DO WE GET MALARIA? Malaria is a communicable disease transmitted from person to person by an anopheles mosquito. This mosquito bites a person with malaria, and sucks up some malaria germs with the blood meal. Several days later if she bites a well person, malaria parasites are injected into this individual and these parasites begin to multiply in his blood, thus causing him to become ill with malaria. DO ALL MOSQUITOES CARRY MALARIA? There are many different kinds of mosquitoes in North Carolina, just as there are different kinds of birds. It is harder to see these differences because the mosquitoes are much smaller. The habits of mosquitoes are quite different, some may only be found in woodlands, others in open fields, and still others only around human dwellings. Some mosquitoes never bite, others only bite cold-blooded animals, as frogs and snakes, and still others feed on warm-blooded animals and man. One would not suspect, then, that all mosquitoes could carry malaria. It is believed that only one mosquito, Anopheles quadrimaculatus, carries malaria in this State. HOW CAN WE TELL ANOPHELES MOSQUITOES FROM OTHERS? Anopheline mosquitoes have spots on their wings while the win~s of other mosquitoes of this State are plain. The anopheline masquito while resting or feeding appears to be standing on its ~ead, while the other mosquitoes hold their bodies parallel to the surface like house flies. The anophelines seldom sing and their bite is not very painful. WHERE DO MOSQUITOES BREED? Mosquitoes breed only in water. People are wrong who say that they breed in grass, weeds and chinaberry trees for the adult mosquitoes seen in these places are only resting and choose these places during the day because of the protection afforded from the sun and enemies. Different mosquitoes prefer different breeding places, just as the crow nests in a different place from the quail. The malaria mosquito breeds in fairly clean, still bodies of fresh water, containing some vegetation and floatage. A pond with grass and trash in it or a poorly drained ditch usually will breed many malaria mosquitoes. WHAT SHOULD ONE DO TO AVOID TAKING MALARIA.? One needs only to keep the malaria mosquito from biting him to keep from contracting malaria. This may be accomplished in several ways. Every home should be thoroughly mosquitoproofed. This is one precaution which should be taken by all individuals living in malarious areas. A properly mosquitoproofed house is one with all windows, doors, and chimneys covered with 16 mesh wire screen. All other openings should be entirely sealed. The most effective means of destroying the mosquito- breeding places is by filling or draining. Filling destroys the breeding place entirely and if ditches are properly constructed and maintained they will drain and thus eliminate the breeding area. When a pond cannot be drained, there are sp.veral methods by which the breeding of mosquitoes can be kept down. It should be kept clean and free of all vegetation, especially along the edges. Various mixtures of oil or Paris green dust applied to the surface of the water will kill the young "wiggle tail" mosquitoes. Since it takes about ten days for the wiggle tail to develop, these larvicides should be applied every seven to ten days. The State Board of Health will be glad to have one of its representatives inspect your pond and recommend the best way to prevent mosquito breeding. LAW GOVERNING PONDS As a safeguard against the spread or introduction of malaria, the law requires that before anyone creates a pond a permit must be obtained from the North Carolina State Board of Health. This law applies to any body of water formed by the construction or excavation of a basin or the obstruction of a stream flow in such a manner as to cause the collection of a body of water which would not have formed under natural conditions. Ponds covering less than one acre, used exclusively for watering livestock or for other domestic purposes such as gold fish pools, etc., are not included in these regulations. • Before issuing a permit to build a pond the State Board of Health requires that an application be submitted on a form furnished by them. This application gives a description of the pond and includes an agreement to comply with the State Board of Health's regulations. These regulations require that the pond be maintained in such a manner that it will not produce anopheles mosquitoes and become a menace to the public health. The permit will be granted when these requirements are complied with. 50M-2~O--O.G.D.

Frizzy Hair
Answer: Too much! If any of those products are alcohol-based you might be making your frizz worse because alcohol dries out the hair and causes more flyaways. The healthier the hair the less itll frizz, so use nourishing shampoo and conditioner like Pureology Essential Repair, and at least once a week apply a deep conditioning mask like Pantene 5-Minute Strengthening Mask. Finally, there have been many imitators but John Frieda Frizz Ease Original Serum is still considered the gold standard. Run 3-4 drops through wet hair and then style as usual.

Launch of new flu database ruffles feathers
After several months of strain with the developer of a flu database, the Global Initiative on Sharing Avian Influenza Data launched its own, admittedly less robust database interface on Monday.
GISAID has been under contract with the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics since 2006 to promote its flu data via a platform called EpiFlu, which has been live since 2008. But since SIB removed access to EpiFlu from the GISAID Web site in July due to alleged late payments, GISAID has been working on developing a new version, now live.
It all started in 2006, when Italian veterinarian and researcher Ilaria Capua … Read more

video "Dannon Birth Control on the Bottom Yogurt" created by Parks and Recreation comedy writer Megan Amram and directed by Payman Benz.
Unless you spent the weekend vacationing on a remote island with no Wifi, you've probably watched the Yahoo Sketchy viralThe video, which also stars Parks and Recreation actress Retta Parks, Parenthood actress Rosa Salazar, Diane Mizota, the host of Yahoo Shine's parenting show, Away We Grow, plus-size model and actress Sonibert Rodriguez, and writer Laura Dziamba, depicts five women of different ethnicities drinking cocktails in a backyard, eating yogurt in a kitchen, and giving each other manis and pedis. "It's tough to be a woman in post-racial America," says Amram. "That's why Dannon has created the two favorite things of diverse girlfriends in commercials: Yogurt and birth control….now you don't have to choose between the only two things that matter to you as a woman, according to commercials."

Course reviews
+0 votes marcus p › July 8, 2013
The only reason I give this course a D is because parts of it aren't labeled. It made it little frustrating, had to guess and explore quite a bit which in itself was fun, but at the same time annoying. The obstacles were pretty nice. Some tees are natural others have something like shag carpet. Overall would play again, just need someone who has played all the holes before hand.

me and Glock's i finally got a decent play with them
Yesterday i was lucky to get some range time in with some friends and a gent from Glock in europe
now as i've stated here a few times , i'm not a Glock fan due to one reason
i ask folks about thier Glocks and get stupid answers or get counter asked if i'm stupid etc
the only experience i have with Glocks is from repairing South Australian police glocks and many of those where bought second hand ( Ex EU police i think some where ) and some new ones to make up the numbers
and frankly what i saw was a lot of hassle but never knew if it was a from abuse lack of care or not a long lasting gun ( all early model glocks )
i've asked here and been told not to question the glock
to me thats the same as dont question obama , as i'll question anything until i'm satisfied , frankly its a insult
only one person here has stated clearly why he likes his glock , and his thoughts on its down side
, THANK YOU!!! and i now agree with the assessment he gave and why he likes his
now i got to play with the entire range of Glocks yesterday , i had a guy from the company explaining very honestly the good points and weak points of the glock
and i learned a lot
what i liked
ease of use ,
yes these things are made for simple use , aimed at minimal training to get decent results
and made to be cheap but make the company money but to last so they honour their warranty , but not much more as they wish to sell you a new model
The factory guy stated
we'd like to sell a new gun to our high end users once every 8 -10 years
we dont make them to last more than that for sales , but also so we can move our customers into the future as we are constantly updating and researching and improving the system
a honest man with a clear and precise responce !!!!
so onto the firing
i got to shoot a few mags through each model including .45 cal models thanks to this being a demo test for government here there was a exception to the no .45 rule in this state for the testing
i shot 9mm .40 S&W and .45 ACP and i shot a couple new model trainers in .22 lr
and i did not mind the shooting , they fired well and where ok balance wise on the recoil , a couple models in the teens ( sorry i shot a few so not sure exactly which ones ) where a bit top loaded recoil wise ( not enough weight to counter the recoil so slowing down the return to targeted sight picture )
but i see that in many lightweight guns today ( i like steel as it counters this much better than synthetics) but its not hard to adapt to
my biggest complaint over all is the rounds we shot , i really dunno if i'd reload them , many had bulges beyond what i prefer which has left me with questions for folks who reload for glocks from brass shot byglocks , is it ok ?? let me know as though i did not take a loop ( magnifying glass) with me but what my old eyes did see worried me some
would i buy one ??
yes i am , i'll buy a .22 glock for the grand kids to train on and for me to plink , .22 LR is all factory so i dont have reload worries so dodge that issue and i think as a trainer the simplicity would have a advantage
i'll reserve total judgement as to whether i'd buy a centre fire version as i reload until i KNOW that side
would i buy one to be a SHTF weapon ?? no .. straight up no
but as a daily carry , i do not see the hassle with that WHILE YOU CAN GET IT FIXED and buy factory loads
but it may be too delicate for a SHTF reload all you shoot scenario
if your a average shooter who wants to carry , i'd not bag you at all for buying one and i can now see why folks like em
they are light and easy to use and dont hurt so much if you wedge ya digits unlike steel guns who'll remove skin instead of reminding you to move ya fingers like the glock does
i played the knuckle head game with its and still have all skin , i deliberatly did things that folks complain about with steel guns and as told the glock dont grab hard but that hammer is a worry , anyone been zapped in the web of your hand with a glock ? i asked the rep and could see it its a common complaint , but he did not exactly respond to that one ..
but i'll wager its common with beginners
personally i did it slowly and only to pinch to see , not via a fired round
over all i'm actually impressed more than before
i can see the value points of the make and would suggest the smaller trainers to anyone happily , for experienced users , or for those who want to depend on the gun to be there no matter what , maybe look to steel guns especially for SHTF and have to reload scenarios
but a suburban guy or gal looking just for personal protection?
go for it
it'll do the job fine , just expect to replace it if it gets a lot of use or practise but at that price they are for the average shooter over 20 years say ? worth it ? yes ..
but for my main carry , for me anyway
i'll stay with steel guns as they suit me and my needs better
and i'm tough on guns
but am ordering a .22 in the next week after i look more closely at models and price and civil availability here
and expect the grand kids and friends to have a lot of fun with it when we get it

Re: me and Glock's i finally got a decent play with them
What do you think of the Beretta 92 Jack? I feel the same way you do about the Glocks.
Criminals advocate stronger gun laws to foster a safer work environment. This limits their exposure to risk.

Re: me and Glock's i finally got a decent play with them
the old L92 is a nice gun , just complex.
never had a issue with them myself as the ones we had where pristine , but a few civvy folks who have em have issues with one that are worn..
and anything Beretta is expencive here so this nice gun is sitting awaiting repair and i'll know more then
its at a mates shop while the guy gets beretta Australia to get the parts needed , after it took him 2 months to save for the cost of the parts
a 92 here ( 92 FS A1 say nowdays) i RRP at $1699 and sell at $1225 inc transfer plus 10% tax
but again complex , now say you had a Army and got these checked and serviced regular , no worries at all
but as a stand alone long term SHTF gun , get 5 of each small part and spring in case
again i think the 1911 though they wear too , are easier to service and maintain and will last longer ( M1911 A1 anyway othere? a a case by case basis ) and have fewer parts to wear and to replace making replacement simpler and possible to do grassroot long term if you had too
i'd not like to make beretta springs by hand from scratch . and them rollover bar things
but use one
double tap heaven
brilliant to shoot when worked in to you
recoil balance is excellent but it can lead to heeling and shooting high if your a regular 9mm shooter as theres less rotational force with the beretta ( through more bits moving)
great to shoot , possibly the fastest sight plane reset under $1500 in 9mm if i could put it that way ( as a IPSC shooter )
a worry long term SHTF but something you can easily prep for too so negates that worry
but i do prefer the .45 acp in a 5 1/2 " or better
but if i was allowed a unlimited ammount of hand guns i'da grabbed a few , good point weapons
but i'm limited so only have a old beretta as a trade gun currently

Re: me and Glock's i finally got a decent play with them
i've a colt woodsman we've trained all the kids with but at its now 90 year old , i'll retire it to the C&R ticket and make it a safe queen and replace it with the Glock
any recommendations for model ? i cant get a model that allows caliber change ( another stupid rule we gotta get sorted ..)
cause theres way more out there than i've seen so far , so glockies let me know whats a good smallish .22 lr

Re: me and Glock's i finally got a decent play with them
i'm not big on glocks. i like something with a thumb or grip safety at least. personally the 1911 is my favorite. i wanna try out the hi power as well. there's guys all over youtube that act like they're invincible and get in your face if you question them.

That applies to 1911 fans also, and it isn't restricted to just youtube. You see plenty of both sides here on this forum and everywhere else.

Re: me and Glock's i finally got a decent play with them
A very good review Jack. I have a Glock 19 and a Glock 27. The 19 I bought when they first came out here in the States and the 27 was my off duty carry when I was on the force. I like the Glock's I have for their accuracy and balance. Both of mine are flat shooting son-of-a-guns. The only thing I don't like is the trigger safety without a manual side safety. Every AD I saw when I was on the force involved a Glock. Maybe it was just the idiot handling it. I also like the Beretta's and my on duty carry was a Beretta 96 40cal.
Thanks for you unbiased review!

see i know i can carry my 1911 , parachute into a ocean crawl through jungle cocked and locked , did so for years , and if you look at the mechanics you can see why .
i'd never feel comfortable do that with a glock ..
they are NOT forgiving when swapping mags with your finger in the guard ( DUH!!!!!) , the slide has a section where you can "walk" the trigger safe and disengage it ( maybe pre engage is a better term ??) , you drop a slide on a full clip , its then maybe you get a bang
i do not beleive this can be done by accident , people constantly cocking the weapon dropping the mag and cycling it can .,. ( stuffing about like a idiot we call it here ) i played hard with it, i did not trip it , i do think its possible
you can feel the mag safe via the trigger safe , same as the slide safe/ disconnector when they are actioned
all them bits the mag detector/disconnector/slidesafe/trigger safe/and their cross conections , add a dirty gun with soot build up or wear and its chances of going bang increase
what i mean , is you can fiddle with it and keep playing it you could create the environment to have a accident
day to day use , no i dont think so , ya'd have to be stuffing about with it to do anything , you can do the same with other brands too if your a idiot ..
only guy i know shot him self accidently here was stuffing about too , wont admit it , but folks where there
the guns always live and the horse always kicks
yes we can have fun with them but there far from toys and folks forget that and when caught out are embarassed
all tech and gripes aside
i'm getting one as a trainer and plinker for the grandies
i trust them to never handle a gun thats loaded unless they are ready to shoot it

Re: me and Glock's i finally got a decent play with them
Thanks for the review on glock's in general Jack. I have basically the same feelings as you. They are good guns, they do go bang every time the trigger is pulled but do I want one? No. I prefer guns made of metal, as do you. That is why I carry a CZ75 Compact in the 9mm flavor, all steel. there is one comment that disturbed me that the glock guy told you.
we'd like to sell a new gun to our high end users once every 8 -10 years
we dont make them to last more than that for sales , but also so we can move our customers into the future as we are constantly updating and researching and improving the system
I've never heard of a factory glock guy, or for that matter any manufacture, admit that their guns are only made to last a specific timeframe. That is another reason I personally like steel guns. At leist i'll be able to pass them to the younger generations in my family and they'll still be good to shoot well after i'm gone.

Re: me and Glock's i finally got a decent play with them
these folks are talking bisiness and its pretty straight at the higher levels
they discuss this in terms of holding costs, $ maintenance, and ROI ( return on investment)
i steel gun long term stills needs to be upkept , in a police situation that means equipment and staff as they dont train cops to service guns .. ( basic cleaning is all i seen )
the glock idea is to supply a gun that has a warrenty and maintenance agreement
, its like a extended warrenty , if any gun has issues you issue another ( they supply spares as well ) it gets sent back to the warranty provider, repaired or replaced and one put back in the spares to replace it
thats what glock offers ( civillian sales are a great bonus , but the design was for mass sales in this way)
long term , it may be cheaper , but rememebr they have to do it this way
it was as the only cheaper option to spending 30% more to buy a steel gun that will last 60 years in service as the 1911 does , to offset the cost , the gun is built around alternative funding model ( and to be as proprietary as possible )
when you look at the 1911 and some others and see what they are up against , you can see its a smart business option , again it dont suit military , but cops ? , yeah a good fit , cops ( sorry but i think most cops ) dont have the same experience or time in hand of military so a far as low cost to train and no local maintenance cost weapon is a good idea
its like leasing a truck or renting medium term to solve a bubble in your business
after the cyclones here a mate hired some gear and trucks rather than buy , the cyclone damage would be fixed in a few months and the boom in repair work would not last so he rented some and is in front
building companies hire long term scaffold and things as well , as its costly to maintain and replace
small government has a holding cost of maybe $140,000 a year for one armourer ( wages space tools insurance etc)
if they can get 1000 pistols to serve their cops with no maintinance costs for a 10 year cost of the same ...
thats the glock selling point
and if its a hassle they'll give you a new one ! 3 times in for repair , no questions asked replacement
or thats the gov deal i seen , and i think its ok and understand why so many PD's use em
dunno yet about personal warranties
even colt aint as good as you hope as a consumer at times cause its up to the local distributor to deal with that here
pOint being , they are hi tech but cheap to make , they can be replace cheaply if theres a hassle and require no skilled staff for this process to happen
the basic parts , are ok , barrels are lighter but they state these are not for P or +p loads to everyone
these are made for folks or gov who will shoot factory ammo every time , get the thing stripped and cleaned every 6 months or so , be fired 1000-2000 rounds a year plus ( i like this ) Emergency use ( read the literature, they are soo PC )
and this way these things will last 20 years no problems ( some will suffer more in Australia due to UV , but thats life here )
can i ask the cops here how many round they fire through their service pistols a year ??
2000 ?? i'll wager most dont shoot 500 a year , cops i know shoot personal guns more than service ones ..
some hard core range nuts like me might do more , so you buy a new barrel every 5-8 years
its cheap compared to most
looking at the info here
say i had a 10 year old one and the frame was ok but the barrel and internals are worn , a real high use , but well looked after gun
$490 would totally refurbish this ( parts and labour )
a total rebuild on a smith 40 all internals is almost the price of a new one ( parts and labour )
its a different business model than long lasting reliability , cars went the same way a bit
cheaper easier to replace parts rather expencive long lasting ones
maybe its a sign of the throw away society , but heck if it saves some tax dollars for the folks in the log run ,
go for it

Re: me and Glock's i finally got a decent play with them
but heres a thought , if the steel gun makers got off their butts and did similar instead of high end and costly marketing
i think we'd see more steel guns in cops hands
i saw the smith offering had a nice gift box set of knife and torch to go with the gun..
bugger all about long term maintainable solutions ...
the glock folks talked hard savings and long term value and thats what budget conscious folks are looking at
and they do it well

Re: me and Glock's i finally got a decent play with them
I have read all the reviews from the glock lovers and the haters alike. I have sold them in my shop. I have shot them. I still dont like them and I still wouldnt trade one good 1911 for a bucket of glocks. But I am glad you finally got a chance to see them first hand.
I own a bunch of scary guns. You want em? Come and take em.....

Re: me and Glock's i finally got a decent play with them
i aint trading the EAA or STI
but i can see why they are getting popular
my big worry is folks will think low maintinace = NONE and they'll have hassles then ..
no gun works well when gummed up full of junk
the sales pitch i see online , is worrying .. makes inexperienced folks think wrong
been looking at a few ..
but the ones i want i cant get here , we've models i cant see in the US stores
i cant see a .22 only in the US at all , you buy a 9mm and get the .22 kit
weve 2 models here but both the teens ..

Re: me and Glock's i finally got a decent play with them
I own a Glock 34 9mm. I chose the 9mm because the ammo is cheaper to obtain. I also have a Colt Combat Commander, I'd much rather shoot the Glock, but that's me. I have nothing what so ever against the tried and true Colts but for me I'd much rather shoot my Glock. Note I used to own a Gold Cup 70 series, I traded it in years ago and I'm not missing it.

Air Jordan X Chicago
October 7th, 2011 by John Kim | 44 comments
Tinker Hatfield decided to use the Air Jordan X as an homage to Michael Jordan's career to that point. One of the more prominent details of the tenth Air Jordan shoe is actually the outsole, which features a list of Michael's career achievements in chronological order, starting with his Rookie Of The Year award in 1985 to the three straight MVP/Championships in 91, 92, and 93. If Tinker were to create another shoe pointing out Michael's all-time achievements, what would be added? How about "2003 – 40 points at 40″ or "2010 – Team Owner"? Here's a detailed look at the upcoming Air Jordan X 'Chicago', slated for a January 2012 release; likely to be one of the best retro releases of 2012, the Chicago X is one to watch on Sneaker News. Conitnue reading for a gallery of images and let us know what your favorite MJ Career Achievement is. via kickz-lab.
Filed under: Air Jordans, Upcoming Sneakers // Tags: Air Jordan X, Air Jordan X Chicago
Minor mispelling in the last sentence just in case you wanna know SN the word "Conitnue" is actually spelled "Continue".
You! Rick Ross! U dickless piece of shit! U are probablly in high school n still sucking on your moms Tit. Jordan is the greatest of all time ! period. U can't even spell doubt. I doubt you were ever able to see in person let alone watch on tv the greatest ever to play the games. Hey Rick YouTube don't count. Go home to your mommie.
*claps* Damn JB ! When did you decide to do things right for a change ? These are too clean ! Any of you bitching about the 23/45 stitched on obviously don't know your shit...at all. These are true to OG besides the jumpman and inside lining. Deff cop.
From the looks of the pictures is a bunch of Chinese guys taking pre production Js on the dinner table teasing ppl over seas
Yeah, I put my shoes on my table and stare at them while I eat too... I thought I was the only one.... Weird...
i personally dont like these shoes. I think lebron james shoes are better than air jordan shoes anyday, and in my opinion, Michael Jordan is so over rated, lebron james will become no dought the greatest player when its all said and done, sure he doesnt have any rings but just like charles barkely and allen iverson who was the best point guard in history, he will get i say at least 4 rings
i wish it was jan already.. i need these badly.. maybe one day they will release the city series again.. doubt it but one can hope..
What the hell are you talking about? You must be on crack to think Michael Jordan is overrated and Lebron James will become the greatest. Get that ignorant ass out of here.
You dickless piece of shit. Jordan is the GOAT!!!! Allen Iverson played PG for one season shorty. One. He was a SG. You are probably of victim of circumstance. A product of the Internet. But man u are so wrong. Oh yeah u suck.
Lebron will be lucky if he gets 4 rings, and if he does get 4 no one will consider him the greatest. One of the best, like Charles and Iverson but not the greatest. His championships will be tarnished because for the rest of our lives people will always say, Lebron had to join a super team to win.
I'm some what with you on Lebron getting a ring or two down the line. That other stuff you commented on you must be out your mind!!!! Oh yeah in my opinion.....lol
wtf??? Allen Iverson best point guard in history??? .....Did Magic Johnson quit and become a mail man?
Idk they could surprise us in 2012 and do it for the holiday shopping madness but you got a point though

I don't think you have to like a photo in order to appreciate it.
A photo is one persons way of expressing so many things in so many ways.
One has to keep an open mind when judging. I have voted and commented
on many a photo, that my first reaction was, "That is disturbing!" Then I vote
and state my feelings in the comment. A great photo doesn't have to be nice
to be a good photo.

New products on display at the American International Toy Fair, held in N
Two-way radios, or general mobile radio service (GMRS) units, continue to evolve, not only doubling in range to 10 miles in the past two years, but now adding features such as text messaging.
Two companies, Motorola and US Electronics (BellSouth), are each planning to ship this year two-way radios with peer-to-peer text messaging that does not require an Internet Service Provider. At present the jury is still out on the market acceptance of the feature, but many suppliers see it as a hit with children once the price dips closer to the entry level.
Motorola is offering text messaging in a new Multi-Use Radio Service (MURS) unit with five channels, 38 subcodes and 5-mile capacity. Shown as a prototype at CES last month, it offers peer-to-peer SMS text messaging via a built-in thumb pad but can only be used with another MURS radio. Shipping in the fourth quarter, it comes with rechargeable batteries at an estimated $99 per pair.
Not all suppliers are ready to jump on the text-messaging bandwagon. "We're not convinced it's going to be a service that will be significant," said Cobra senior VP Tony Mirabelli. "If it drops to a low enough price it may be something that children can use, but the price points have to come down quite a bit," he added.
Uniden director of project management, Rex Holloway, said text messaging for the kids market is a "niche that some retailers are excited about. It has some limitations, but the potential to deliver." Uniden hopes to announce a text messaging two-way radio at around $49 a pair within six months, Holloway said.
US Electronics is already hitting that price with the new BellSouth 2176 GMRS. It offers text messaging and 10-mile range and requires another text-capable GMRS for messaging. The 2176 will ship and the end of the second quarter at an estimated price of under $50.
Text messaging is not the only "combination" type two-way radio debuting this year. Motorola, which recently teamed up with Giant International, plans to ship several new combination-type Talkabout units, including MP3 and solar models in the fourth quarter.
Motorola's new 22-channel GMRS/MP3 has 38 subcodes and a 2-mile range. It allows downloading of up to 64MB of music and is expected to carry an estimated price of $79 per pair, including earbuds.
Also new is a "solar radio" GMRS with 5-mile range. The T5SOL has 22 channels and 38 subcodes and comes with a NiCd battery, but it can also charge via a solar panel while in use, for added power. The "charge as you go" unit is aimed at outdoor enthusiasts and is expected to be available at a retail price of $79.95 per pair.
The new Motorola "gaming radio" is aimed at users ages five to eight. It will offer four embedded popular games whose titles will be announced. The GMRS unit has five channels and up to a 2-mile capacity. Pricing is expected to fall at approximately $39 to $49 per unit.
Many suppliers remain wary of combining GMRS with features that are geared to a different audience, such as MP3.
"We've tried numerous times to add things to FRS, like FM radio, but unfortunately, whenever you try to put two pieces of non-related technology together, they just don't make it," said Mirabelli.
Less controversial is the new 10-mile range now sweeping the high end (up from 7 to 8 miles in 2003). Nearly all suppliers this year are offering extended range and some are also showing new super slim-line units.
Audiovox is claiming the slimmest new GMRS for the market — at ¼-inch thick—with a range of five miles. It has 38 subcodes and a built-in FM radio and high-intensity LED flashlight. The light, itself, has a range of 25 feet and an extended viewing range of up to a mile, said Audiovox. The new GMRS 500SLK has a rechargeable lithium polymer battery, ear bud with microphone and a well charger at a suggested list of $49.95.
Audiovox also unveiled last month a new 10-mile GMRS twin pack with 38 subcodes, NOAA weather alert and high-intensity flashlight. Called the GMRS9010-2, it has a suggested price of $79.95 and is also available with a dual desk-top rapid charger (model GMRS9010-2CH) at $95.
Cobra's new 10-mile GMRS has 38 subcodes, 8-point digital compass, clock/alarm/stopwatch and NOAA weather alert. The 3-watt PR-4250-WX will carry a suggested retail price of $79.95.
Midland will offer what it claims is the first 4-watt, 10-mile GMRS for consumer use. Called the GXT400, it has NOAA weather alert, five unique call tones and vibrate alert. It also comes in a camouflage version. It will ship in the second quarter at a price to be announced.
Also new in the slim-line arena is the XFR350RD from US Electronics (Xact). The GMRS unit measures ½-inch thick. It offers 22 channels and 38 subcodes and has a backlit clock display plus voice activation, rechargeable battery and AC charger. It is expected to ship in the second quarter.
This TWICE webinar, hosted by senior editor Alan Wolf, will take a look at what may be the hottest CE products at retail that will be sold during the all-important fourth quarter. Top technologies, market strategies and industry trends will be discussed with industry analysts and executives.

The Access to Health Insurance program will pay up to $100 a month for each adult (employee or spouse).
Employees must pay the balance after the employer portion and the premium assistance are paid. The employee also is responsible for deductibles and co-pays.
What will the exact cost be for the employer?
Employers must pay at least 50 percent of the employee's premium. The exact dollar amount of the premium depends on several factors. The best way to be certain of your costs is to talk with an insurance representative.
I will have to pay a portion of my employee's premiums - what are the advantages to me?
Here's what this program can do for you:
What does this cost the employee?
The exact cost of the health insurance plan you will be offered is difficult to predict. However, here are some things you can count on:
Can you give an example of what this may cost?
Here's an example of what this might cost if you, your spouse, and your spouse choose to participate.
What out-of-pocket expenses will there be for the employee?
In addition to any part of the premium you must pay for the health insurance you receive through your employer, there may also be out-of-pocket costs like deductibles or co-payments for some health care services. The exact amount of these out-of-pocket expenses are difficult to predict. To find out how much you may have to pay if you chose private health insurance coverage, ask your employer (or insurance agent) for a SPD that includes specific cost sharing amounts for services.

Professionals working in the field of education for children and young people with Sensory Impairment.
The National Sensory Impairment Partnership (NatSIP) aims to improve educational outcomes for children and young people with sensory impairment, closing the gap with their peers, through joint working with all who have an interest in the success of these young people. NatSIP, in partnership with the Department for Education has agreed to work on five objectives providing support and training, in a cost effective way, to ensure that children and young people with sensory impairment (SI) have access to the curriculum and make good educational progress whilst improving their achievements. NatSIP has seven workstreams which address these objectives. These focus on: outcomes benchmarking; case studies to support quality standards; workforce development and the effective use of teaching assistants; emotional resilience and well-being in young people with SI; the Equality Act 2010 and access for SI learners; special educational needs (SEN) policy and SI in the national context; and the future strategy for NatSIP. NatSIP Working Days occur three times a year and offer an opportunity for professionals working in the field of sensory impairment to come together in working groups to meet the objectives of the action plans, share best practice and contribute to the development of quality SI provision.
For further information, contact Lindsey Rousseau at firstname.lastname@example.com
