The International System of Units (SI) specifies a set of seven base units from which all other SI units of measurement are derived.
Each of these other units (SI derived units) is either dimensionless or can be expressed as a product of (positive or negative, but usually integral) powers of one or more of the base units. For example, the SI derived unit of area is the square metre (m2), and the SI derived unit of density is the kilogram per cubic metre (kg/m3 or kg m-3). The degree Celsius (see the table below) has a somewhat unclear status, and is arguably an exception to this rule.
Electric power is the rate at which electric energy is transferred by an electric circuit. The SI unit of power is the watt, one joule per second.
Electric power is usually produced by electric generators, but can also be supplied by chemical sources such as electric batteries. Electric power is generally supplied to businesses and homes by the electric power industry. Electric power is usually sold by the kilowatt hour (3.6 MJ) which is the product of power in kilowatts multiplied by running time in hours. Electric utilities measure power using an electricity meter, which keeps a running total of the electric energy delivered to a customer.
Because energy is defined via work, the SI unit for energy is the same as the unit of work – the joule (J), named in honor of James Prescott Joule and his experiments on the mechanical equivalent of heat. In slightly more fundamental terms, 1 joule is equal to 1 newton-metre and, in terms of SI base units
An energy unit that is used in atomic physics, particle physics and high energy physics is the electronvolt (eV). One eV is equivalent to J−191.60217653×10. In spectroscopy the unit cm−1 = 0.000123986 eV is used to represent energy since energy is inversely proportional to wavelength from the equation .
The kilowatt hour, or kilowatt-hour, (symbol kW·h, kW h or kWh) is a unit of energy equal to 1000 watt-hours or 3.6 megajoules. For constant power, energy in watt-hours is the product of power in watts and time in hours. The kilowatt-hour is most commonly known as a billing unit for energy delivered to consumers by electric utilities.
A measuring instrument is a device for measuring a physical quantity. In the physical sciences, quality assurance, and engineering, measurement is the activity of obtaining and comparing physical quantities of real-world objects and events. Established standard objects and events are used as units, and the process of measurement gives a number relating the item under study and the referenced unit of measurement. Measuring instruments, and formal test methods which define the instrument's use, are the means by which these relations of numbers are obtained. All measuring instruments are subject to varying degrees of instrument error and measurement uncertainty.
Scientists, engineers and other humans use a vast range of instruments to perform their measurements. These instruments may range from simple objects such as rulers and stopwatches to electron microscopes and particle accelerators. Virtual instrumentation is widely used in the development of modern measuring instruments.
Entertainment is a form of activity that holds the attention and interest of an audience, or gives pleasure and delight. It can be an idea or a task, but is more likely to be one of the activities or events that have developed over thousands of years specifically for the purpose of keeping an audience's attention. Although people's attention is held by different things, because individuals have different preferences in entertainment, most forms are recognisable and familiar. Storytelling, music, drama, dance, and different kinds of performance exist in all cultures, were supported in royal courts, developed into sophisticated forms and over time became available to all citizens. The process has been accelerated in modern times by an entertainment industry which records and sells entertainment products. Entertainment evolves and can be adapted to suit any scale, ranging from an individual who chooses a private entertainment from a now enormous array of pre-recorded products; to a banquet adapted for two; to any size or type of party, with appropriate music and dance; to performances intended for thousands; and even for a global audience.
The experience of being entertained has come to be strongly associated with amusement, so that one common understanding of the idea is fun and laughter, although many entertainments have a serious purpose. This may be the case in the various forms of ceremony, celebration, religious festival, or satire for example. Hence, there is the possibility that what appears as entertainment may also be a means of achieving insight or intellectual growth.

Clients Of Investment Banks Have Remained Loyal Since The Financial Crisis, But Changing Demands Could Upset The Relationship, Says Accenture
A recent Accenture (NYSE:ACN) survey of investment bank clients in the US and UK found that 96 percent of clients are generally satisfied and would recommend their bank to others. Despite the turmoil in the industry, only one-third (33 percent) have changed their primary bank since the financial crisis.
"Investment bank clients have remained loyal to their primary banks since the financial crisis," said Dean Jayson, research author and managing director of Accenture's Capital Markets Industry Practice for Europe, Africa and Latin America. "But our research shows they are shifting their focus back to basics – looking for simple products and trading services, and increasingly demanding higher quality service and lower fees."
The survey of 100 corporate and asset/fund managers found that clients would be willing to switch banks if another provider had substantially better offerings in risk management (60 percent) and trading services (43 percent), even if they had to pay a premium. Eighty-one percent of clients said they would pay a premium for risk management services; 65 percent of asset or fund managers and 84 percent of corporate clients would also pay a premium for better trading tools/services.
According to the research, clients claim the top two factors they consider when choosing an investment bank are price (65 percent) and research provided (52 percent), and the most common reasons cited for switching banks are because of more competitive pricing and better quality of products. Nearly one in five clients (19 percent) report noticing a change in their bank's strategy since 2008 that negatively impacted them, such as increased fees and less research produced.
"Profitability pressures will continue to drive fee increases and impact the research services provided by investment banks until the banks are able to significantly reduce their high fixed costs," continued Jayson. "Digital technologies can be used to simplify their operations, providing banks with a platform to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. Digital capabilities such as analytics, collaboration tools and cloud technology can help banks meet client demands while remaining price competitive, and provide a differentiated experience."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The Washington Capitals entered the 2014 free agency period with specific goals in mind: to significantly upgrade their defensive unit and goaltending depth.

Wizards owner Ted Leonsis knows just how important it is to bring back center Marcin Gortat and forward Trevor Ariza.
Even when the odds appeared stacked against Randy Wittman returning as coach in the final year of his contract, he didn't flinch.
Much has been made of Brian MacLellan's initial interview with Capitals owner Ted Leonsis, during which the longtime assistant general manager essentially told Leonsis what the big boss coul
According to various media reports, it appears the Washington Wizards and head coach Randy Wittman are close to a contract extension that could be completed by the end of the week.

If you have a Trust, do you only need to engrave the "Trust Name" on the SBR Receiver or Can or is there additional info required like some numbers from the approved tax stamp? I'd like to get a receiver engraved, refinished, and start with the LPK in parallel to getting the stamp. Also who do you guys recommend for receiver engraving/etching? Will it be deep enough to color fill? Thanks

Trust Name, City, State (of the trustee) The BATF links the tax stamp to the serial number you provide on Form 1 that was already on the receiver from the manufacturer so you can engrave the above whenever you want. Just can't make it into an SBR until you have the approved stamp. If you actually manufacture your own receiver you can provide the BATF whatever unique serial number you want on the Form 1 and then engrave that on the receiver as well. I'd appreciate if someone corrects me if that's wrong.

Cal sprint standouts Anthony Ervin and Nathan Adrian are setting themselves up nicely for the finals of the 50 free, finishing second and third in the semifinals in the event Friday (Aug. 2) at the 2013 FINA World Championships at Palau Sanit Jordi in Barcelona.
The two Golden Bears, who are both Olympic gold medalists (Ervin won the 50 free in 2000, Adrian won the 100 free in 2012), will compete for the 50 free gold in the event finals on Saturday. In the semifinals, Ervin was second to France's Florent Manaudou (21.37) with a time of 21.42, while Adrian was third with his time of 21.60.
Ervin won the 2000 Olympic gold in the 50-meter free after tying with Gary Hall, Jr. He was a three-time NCAA champion in the 100 free and was the 2002 Pac-10 Swimmer of the Year for Cal. Ervin also won the NCAA 50-meter free title in 2000 and was a member of the national champion 400 medley relay (butterfly leg) in 2000 and the national champion 400 free relay (second leg) in 2002.
Ervin had finished second to Adrian in the 50 free and was third in the 100 free earlier this summer in Indianapolis during the World Championship Trials. The last World Championships Ervin competed in was exactly 10 years ago, in 2003, at Palau Sanit Jordi in Barcelona. He had retired from swimming shortly after the 2003 World Championships, but returned to training shortly before the 2012 London Olympics were he placed fifth in the 50 free (21.78).
On Thursday, Adrian placed third in the 100 free finals with a time of 47.84 after clocking the top time of the semifinals (47.95) on Wednesday. At the 2012 London Olympics, Adrian had edged Australia's James Magnussen, 47.52 to 47.53, for the 100 free gold.
Both Adrian and Ervin had helped Team USA to a silver medal in the 400 free relay on July 28 during the first day of the swimming competition. Adrian had propelled the Americans to the lead after opening the 400 relay with a mark of 47.95 after the first 100 meters. Ryan Lochte was overtaken by Australia's Cameron McEvoy, before Ervin recaptured the lead for Team USA, swimming the third leg in a time of 47.44. Unfortunately, Team USA was edged by France in the final leg.
Another Bear who has been training under Cal coach David Durden at Spieker Aquatics Complex in preparation for the World Championships was standout breaststroker Damir Dugonjic. Dugonjic, from Slovenia, placed fourth in both the finals of the 50 and 100 breast, seeing a European record in the 50 breast on Tuesday with a time of 26.83.
Dugonjic swam for Cal from 2008 through 2011 – winning three NCAA titles and owning Cal's school record in the 100-yard breast (50.86, set in 2009). He competed for Slovenia in both the 2008 and 2012 Olympics and was a member of NCAA championship 200 and 400 medley relays with Adrian in 2010 and 2011.

Sun Effects Booth App Shows a Futuristic Peek of Sunlight Damage to the Face
The free iPhone app Sun Effects Booth highlights the potential ageing and damage done to your skin.
The app asks a series of questions about how you protect yourself in the sun, including choice of hat, sunscreen and sunglasses, the Courier Mail reported.
It also analyses a photo of your face and gives a prediction of the future.
The technology allows users to check the daily UV Index forecast for their local area.
Queensland Health warns: "Sun protection in Queensland is important all year round as UV levels are consistently above level three, even throughout winter."

Here's what is probably a stupid question: I understand that conifers can be grown from seed and then they can be grafted -- scion wood onto understock. Can conifers also be propagated by way of cuttings, like one can do with perennials? Will a cutting, a branch, given the right conditions, take root? If so could that then be grafted down the road? I'm addicted to puchasing conifers but know sadly little, which should be apparent, about the mysteries of their reproduction. Many thanks in advance for any enlightenment. |

there is grafting .. and there is rooting cuttings.. as ways to replicate a certain specimen .... all can be grafted.. not all can grow from cuttings ... genetics do not allow seeds to come true to named specimens .. except for species ... and probably other exceptions ... but you can grow irregular seedlings of species trees.. to use in a few years to graft named cultivars onto ... for example.. the bluest picea pungens [blue spruce] is known as Picea pungens 'Hoopsi' ... to make more hoopsi.. you have to graft them.. they will not root.. and seeds off the tree will be Picea pungens.. maybe blue.. probably not ... but you could use the seedlings to graft when they get old enough .... link is to the ACS.. amer conifer soc website ... there are some great basic articles [general information] for info on conifers in general ... take some time to zoom around the site.. there is also the British CS ... does that give you the start you were looking for???? ken |
Here is a link that might be useful: link

Some conifers can be rooted and some cannot. I have rooted cuttings of Thuja, Chamaecyparis and Metasequoia. I am attempting to root Juniperus communis 'Gold Cone' and Pinus mugo 'Teeny' this winter. We'll see what happens... Some of the low-growing pinus mugo cultivars (like 'Teeny') and most of the creeping junipers can also be rooted. Most upright growing junipers are almost impossible to root. 9 times out of 10, if a plant is grafted, it's because it cannot be rooted via cuttings. |
Thank you both for the information. Very helpful. Ken, you anticipated my follow up question. I was assuming that conifer seeds, as with herbaceous perennial seeds, would not reproduce a cultivar and you have confirmed that for me. I take it that is a horticultural law generally. At least cultivars can be reproduced by cuttings (in some cases) and grafts, if not seeds. It would be very frustrating if a witches broom or a sport could ever only be one of a kind. Imagine the prices... I joined the ACS some time ago, Ken, and love the quarterly but haven't read any of the website articles on propagation -- I'll get over there and do that. Thanks for the suggestion. Good luck with this year's rooting attempts, treelover. |
As a general rule (with a few exceptions), species in the cypress family (Cupressaceae) and yew family (Taxaceae) can be rooted from cuttings, while those in the pine family (Pinaceae) can't, or only with great difficulty. Resin |

visit the acs for general info ... not propagating specifically .... look in the left bar for a link to the intro to conifers ... genetics are genetics .. it isnt necesarliy a horticultural law, per se .... it isnt something limited to the plant world... my kids look like neither the flower known as me.. nor my wife ... sexual propagation leads to new places.. not back from where the seed came from .. in most cases .. and one hopes.. the progeny will be better... as i do with my kids .. lol some plants seed nearly true.. but that might even be debatable ... anyway.. that is the limit of my genetic knowledge ... lol ... ken |

Tsuga canadensis (the only tsuga I ever tried) is one of the few Pinaceae family members that roots from cuttings. Unfortunately, with you being in Rhode Island, and given the wooly adelgid trouble in the east, hemlocks are not the best choice for you. tj |
Picea pungens 'Freida' roots easily from cuttings I am told. Sciadopity's grafting is easier but rooting is more than possible. I don't know about all cultivars as a general thought. Browsing through Bob Fincham's catalogs you'll find others that root, Pines, Spruces, etc - Dax |
I'm concerned about wooly adelgids, tsugajunkie but am growing a Tsuga canadenis 'Moonfrost' and a 'Vermuelen's Winter Gold.' I'd love to try a cutting from the Moonfrost someday, which I think is a stunning plant. It was already quite large and old when I planted it. Beautiful. Will look through the Arrowhead catalogs, Dax. Thanks. |

The scheme extends to 237,500 sq ft and is anchored by a 109,000 sq. ft owner-occupied Tesco foodstore. This is one of Tesco's most succesful stores in South Wales, attracting consistent levels of footfall onto the park. Other key tenants include M&S, Next, H&M and River Island. This mix of retailers has established the scheme as a dominant fashion destination on the outskirts of Swansea.
Three new pods have been let to Cafe Nero, O2 and Greggs in a prominent position close to the scheme entrance.

If you didn't notice from the images above and my blog title today, it's my 30th Birthday! I don't know how I feel about it. I mentioned a couple of times that I was having anxiety approaching this decade of my life but now that it's finally here, I woke up feeling the same exact way that I did yesterday when I was 29. Age is truly just a number and I don't think it should define you as a person.
I have to reflect on my 20's. I think the 20's were one of the hardest years for me. I went through a lot but I also had a lot of important and monumental moments. I transferred to a college where little did I know I would end up meeting my husband. I met Mike and we have been together ever since. We graduated college together. It makes me happy to think that we were both sitting in the same spot together on our college graduation day. We moved in together, we got engaged, we got married and now we are expecting our first baby. There have been many milestones in my 20's but also a lot of hardships. I'm ready to embrace this new moment of my life.
When I think about my 30's, I try to think of all happy moments. I'm thinking of the fact that in a few short months, I will be holding our baby and looking it in the eyes and saying, "I am your Mommy." Those are words I never thought I would ever get the chance to say and now I will have the chance to do that in my 30's. I'm hopeful that in this decade, Mike and I will have the opportunity to purchase our own home and that I will truly know career wise where my life will take me. I also hope for the opportunity to become a mother for a second time but I see that definitely later in my 30's! I need a bit of a break after this one.
When looking into turning 30, I'm trying to see the positive instead of the negative. Life doesn't always work out the way that you want it to and I have experienced that more times than I care to share. I try to look at things as optimistically as I possibly can but I expect the unexpected. I am ready to embrace this new chapter of my life.
I'm looking forward to coming home from work today and celebrating with my favorite people! I will be getting my favorite food in the entire world, Mexican food! I will be celebrating with Mike, Melissa and my mom! Hopefully Oliver too. I couldn't ask for a more perfect way to spend my birthday than surrounded by people who love and support me. Oh, and the thought of a delicious birthday cake calling my name helps too! I'll be back tomorrow with a recap of my day.
Have a lovely Thursday and thank you for joining me and following my life. It means a lot to me!

I got sick of paying $7+ for mascara for my already long/relatively thick lashes. I've used and enjoyed Maybelline Full n Soft, Covergirl Clump Crusher, and L'Oreal Voluminous. I also used Covergirl LashBlast for a while, but stopped buying it a year or so ago.
When I found this mascara in Walgreens, I quickly looked it up on MUA and was super surprised to see the great reviews. And it's stood up to them, for me at least.
I personally do not have a problem with the "wetness" of the formula-- I haven't had any transferring to my browbone or eyelids or anything while wearing. I've been able to wear this through 12 hours of waiting tables and have had no flaking. I did experience a bit of flaking after crying with it on, but I mean....it's not like it ran down my face.
I will definitely repurchase this mascara! Three bucks is a great deal for it.
Ok, so perhaps I was overly harsh in my initial review. I've played around with this mascara some more and discovered the trick to making it work: Use a tissue to wipe off all excess product from the wand before using. This does away with the clumping issue. My lashes are lengthened and somewhat thicker looking. At this price point, this is a great product. I hope that as it dries out, I can use the mascara straight out of the tube and won't need to wipe the wand before applying.
This is one of the worst drugstore mascaras I've used. Thankfully it's cheaper than most drugstore items and I never throw things out, but I will probably throw this mascara out after two uses because it's absolute crap and pisses me off so bad when I use it.
This is a wet mascara, so it clumps on my lashes and smudges and smears on my eyelids. Ain't nobody got time for that! I'm getting upset just thinking about how ugly and smudgy this mascara gets. As for its volumizing claims, it did nothing to plump up my lashes. If anything, they made them look like spider legs.
OMG love this!!!! I'm blessed with long lashes so any mascara will make my lashes look good (knock on wood) , but some mascaras with the he weird wands are so hard to apply and don't reach all my lashes and have a grey ish tint ...this is super black and the brush is so easy to use and the packaging is great , not to mention the price !!!!! It's inly 2.99 !!! I don't have to spend 9-12 bucks on mascaras anymore.
Very good masacara. It's really a must have in your collection. It doesn't clump your lashes and does just what its supposed to do. And its only $2.99 at Kmart.

best mascara ever. gives me great volume & length not clumpy, and keeps a curl all day! my hg mascara :)
I love the price of this mascara, only $3 at your local Walgreens, it's so affordable! This mascara isn't thick but if you apply more than two layers, your lashes start to clump (which I don't mind). This mascara gives you that fake-looking jet black lashes, and is not waterproof. If you wear this mascara for more than an hour, the mascara flakes a bit, which is why I carry some Q-tips and a bottle of baby oil (to remove the flaked-off mascara). This mascara lasts for a decent amount of time and gives me that extreme, thick lashes image that I want since mine are barely visible. Overall, this mascara cannot be used on rainy days and you must carry some form of makeup remover if you're going to wear the mascara for more than an hour (just reapply the mascara after 3-4 hours). I'm not much of a mascara user but this mascara makes my eyes look bigger, which is enough to satisfy me. Just a heads up, your lashes will feel a bit stiff after the mascara has dried on your lashes. But it isn't really as much of a bother as the flaking part. I'll buy this mascara again during autumn and winter (as for the other seasons, the humidity in summer will smear it and the rain in spring.... Well, you know what happens).
Holy Moly!!!! Are you serious??? This mascara at a $2.99 price point at Walgreen's??? Um, check and check and amazing! I am a wet mascara type of girl, and this fits that to a tee... In addition, my lashes do not need assistance with lengthening, I really look for the volumizing effect in my mascaras.
I've spent years using high-end mascaras (which I still do use Mally and Lancome), but really for my everyday mascara this saves me tons of money!!!! Give it a try, if you don't like it, you really aren't out that much $.

This mascara is amaziiiing. Yes, I agree with others who say that it is wet, but I personally don't find it too wet. I like the consistency, as you have more time to work with it. I used to use two different mascaras at the same time to get big lashes, but after discovering this, I only have to use one! One coat and my lashes are visibly longer, has more volume and a nice curve. I use three coats to get massive, beautiful lashes, as I like when it looks like I am wearing false eyelashes, but in reality, two coats would also be enough. Seriously, where has this product been my entire life? I've been searching for years for a perfect mascara. Search is officially over! I am already planning on ordering more from amazon (I don't live in the US). Love it! Recommended!

Okay so I have a love/hate relationship with this mascara!
You really cannot beat the price its like a whopping $4 at walgreens or kmart, and it really does do a decent job for the price.
However I have been using this for 8-9months now and every single tube I get is wayyy to 'wet'. (Sorry the only word I can think to describe it.) So literally every morning before I put my mascara on I have to grab a piece of tissue and dab of all the access black mess before I can apply to my lashes or it will be a hot mess. Trust me I've tried just going for it and it doesn't work. I'm actually surprised to not see anyone else mention this.
Anyways, after I get the access off it does do a decent job. It definitely makes my lashes stand out and does not flake since it is not a dry formula at all. You do have to apply slowly so your lashes are not gooey sticks. I almost wonder if the old bottles of this were a different formula because I heard about this mascara from a youtube guru and I heard her mention in a recent video that she thought the tubes were more runny now.
So yes it does give definition and volume, some length, but the cons are it is messy, hard to fully get off at night, as it is a wet formula. Like I said I have been using this for 8-9 so I have been going back to it, maybe just the price that keeps me, but I am looking for a new mascara now as it is too time consuming in the morning to have to dab off access mascara before applying.

How have you assessed your carry gun's reliability AND what things do you consider?
I ain't goin' first on this one.
This is a discussion on How do you know how reliable your carry gun is? within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; How have you assessed your carry gun's reliability AND what things do you consider? I ain't goin' first on this one....
How have you assessed your carry gun's reliability AND what things do you consider?
I ain't goin' first on this one.
Well of paramount importance is: will it cycle X number of rounds without failure and under what circumstances? Some of my guns do better than others in less than ideal circumstances.
The only way to find this out of course is to fire it and fire it and fire it some more. My Gold Standard is 500 live rounds without a malfunction, and those first 500 must come at least 100 at a time so I see if it's a fussy gun or not. Of course I also have a Platinum standard of 5000 rounds, the only two guns of which I own that have earned it are my P89 and my 686 but I think the XD40 will reach it too.
I keep a mental note of how each one does every time it goes out for anything. That's how I know for instance my Rossi 518 is only reliable when it's clean.
I also consider the design of the firearm. Does it make mechanical sense? (That's not to account for any other factor such as do I feel it is safe.) I don't think any have ever failed me here.
Last and least but still important, I will be honest with you all and say that who made it carries a lot of weight with me in the initial firearm selection process. I can't spend my whole life testing every gun out there. I've got to take it on faith for example that most of the time, Smith and Wesson products are good guns. I've got to take it on faith that most of the time, Springfield Armory products are good guns. Etc. Etc. I mentally sort manufacturers and then I use one of my more objective tests.
But if I am running down a hall being shot at, and suddenly a genie appears and says I may take either a Glock, a Jennings, or a Taurus and I don't get to perform any sort of test or examination, I pick the Glock. That's just a good for instance because although I don't own a Glock and don't intend to, their reputation with people I trust is solid.
Now if it was to become my personal Glock, it would have to go through its paces.
Also depends on what it is. The aforementioned Rossi .22 is fine for what I do with it. It fails the Gold Standard for being a defensive piece horribly.
I first shoot 200+ rounds of FMJ to break the gun in, then I shoot at least 100 rounds of the JHP ammo I've chosen with the magazines I'm going to carry with. I won't stake my life on it unless it performs 100% with no failures of any kind.
My 1911 and My CZ P-01 were very reliable from the getgo (1 FTE on the 1911 during break-in, no failures on the P-01), but my P3-AT didn't become reliable until after I'd shot 200 rounds through it. After that, though, it has been totally reliable. I didn't carry it until it shot the carry ammo with no jams.
I will only keep my carry ammo for 6 months; then I will shoot it at the range and start with new ammo. I plan to buy a couple of boxes to shoot, just in case the design of the ammo has changed since I last bought it.
Also, the guns I carry don't just stay at my hip; I shoot them at the range regularly, so if any problems crop up (springs giving out, etc.), I will find out at the range, not in some dark alley or parking garage when I need my gun the most.
Get a couple of boxes of WWB (if made in the caliber) and fire every one.
If it checks out, then I fire around 100 to 150 per range session.
So far my USP45 has the most through it, well over 2000+ would be my guesstimate.
As long as it fires for me with no jams after break in and doesn't continue to jam during target shooting and practice it's good for me.
I too base choice on platform design and reputation. After that of course - something of a torture test.
testing is to mainly with a semi find out or confirm mag reliability, as it is that which for most part can lead to problems. I will put a boatload of FMJ thru - helped actually by using the gun for IDPA! I will then having chosen my SD ammo burn up enough of that to also prove the gun/ammo combination.
I am too kind to my guns to want to ''stretch'' testing to putting gun under water and in mud!! I guess I should, to really know the whole story!

With revolvers it is easy, and I carry revolvers a lot. A box or so of carry ammo to check accuracy, and reliability.
Spend the rest of the dough on practice ammo--shoot lots. Fun too. No magazine problems. No back and forth function problems. No spring problems. And did I say 'fun too'?
Methinks too many think semi auto too much.
Keep the shotgun handy!!
KC - you are dead on re revos' and I am in essence a revo shooter - grew up cutting teeth on 'em!
Revo was also my carry for quite some while but - since exploring full size semi platforms and wanting better capacity - it led me to where I am now with the SIG.
So much is compromize and personal choice - but after adequate proof of reliability I doubt it matters too much. Could be why so many love ol' Slabsides still!

Well that may be true for the timing KC but have you considered that if your cylinder gap is tight enough, how will the revolver perform if it's a little dirty?Originally Posted by KC135
I know this is a ridiculous example in and of itself, but my cousin had an old Taurus revolver (before they got better) which was a dream to shoot... for the first 8 cylinder fulls. After that you had to stop and clean it because it would gum up so bad the action wouldn't cycle without a super stiff pull. It was really great and very accurate, but only when it was clean.
No I don't honestly expect to fire 48 cartridges out of a revolver end to end in real life on the street, but to me that's just not acceptable for a primary gun.
I admit I'm a little more lax on the BUGs. I realize that a small gun has its own innate set of problems, so as long as it will fire everything in its cylinder or the magazine I keep in it without problems, that would suffice.
Other than the Rossi, which is just a plinker, the rest of my wheelguns will fire and fire and fire hundreds of times end to end without fail every time until something in the machinery breaks, which probably won't be during my lifetime. That to me is a requirement because I am paranoid of the black helicopters and wear tinfoil on my head. I want every gun I consider a defense gun to be capable of laying out a lot of lead between cleanings. Which is funny because I clean guns compulsively.
Don't get me wrong I think you're right on the money with your comment, heck most of the time I carry a revolver and my wheelguns still outnumber my semis 3 to 1, but for some people that's not good enough, as ridiculous as it may seem.
I don't won't this to appear as revolver bashing, it's not, but it is fair to say that a revolver may not be what we have been led to believe it is. I have heard of pocket lint getting between the hammer and frame and preventing the revolver to shoot. The result? The guy was killed.
I saw an instructor at Gunsite intentionally drop his Glock on the ground. Then he invited anyone else to do the same with theirs (unloaded of course). No body wanted to. I did see a student sling his Beretta 15 feet in front of him, end over end into the dirt, when he missed his grip on a draw. He picked the thing up, blew it off and went on as if it was nothing.
My instructor, and ex-Border Patrol, even though it was against regulation, used to carry a back up revolver under his jacket because he said he knew that if he went down in a scuffle and his primary revolver went into the dirt/sand, it likely wouldn't fire. He also said revolvers were bad about backing out the ejector rod.
Another instructor told me of a time he accidently dropped his BUG revolver and it locked up so tight he had to take it home and disassemble it to get it working again.
I dropped my 686 at the range once trying to do a one-hand reload and the cylinder wouldn't close. Had to take it home and "fix" it.
Some other maladies I was informed of by my former "revolver man" (the ex BP), was that if any grit got under the ejector star, the gun likely wouldn't function. Another, thing he told me when we were doing a few one hand malfunction drills was that if a case got under the ejector star that he knew of no way to clear the problem with one hand.
Yet another thing that can happen to a revolver is that dirt, etc. can get in the cylinder and cause loading/unloading/reloading problems. I experienced that one.
Then, you can bury a Glock in the sea, in the sand, mud, mud puddle, in the snow and ice, even in cow manure and it will still work. I dare say a revolver will not stand up to that. I heard a story of a local LEO that dropped his Glock in a mud puddle and had to fish it out. Guess what? It still functioned.

Well, revolvers and semi~autos are human made machines and all machines do occasionally and even inexplicably fail.
You can take a brand new firearm right out the box ~ give it a careful pre-clean & then go out and put 1,000 rounds though either one (revolver or auto) then go home with a huge smile on your face and round # 1,001 could FTF, FTE or the doggone extractor could break or (like one of my old S&W revolvers - that little metal post that the "trigger return spring" rebounds against snapped & jammed up the works. It just happened. The revolver was clean.
All we can do is try to minimize possible future problems with either firearm platform.
The Internet has no shortage of Critical Stoppage/Failure Stories for wheelguns or semi~autos.
We expect quite a lot (in the way of performance) from our little "defensive machines" ~ Thankfully, our trusty revolvers as well as our semi~auto pistols usually do not fail us or let us down when we need them the most.
Overall, they both have a pretty amazing "track record" for working as they should for machines that "house" & sustain all of those repeated "Miniature, Violent, Explosions"
You just said that 'cause it's true!!!
The way I make sure my gun is reliable is carry it to the range and shoot it, with the normal defense ammo and however it may be in my holster. (lint and all)
They who give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin
Previously known as "cjm5874"
Ammo can also affect your revolver's reliability. I shot some S&B in my 642 that evidently wasn't crimped tight enough. By the time I got to the fifth round, the bullet had slipped in the brass far enough that the round was now too long for the cylinder to cycle. This happened four or five times over a couple of boxes.Originally Posted by Tangle
Not that Im bashing revolvers. Bad ammo can certainly affect an auto.
Blessed be the Lord my rock who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle. Psalm 144:1
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Reliability in 1911 Semi~Autos
Buy only top quality CARRY magazines and do not install critical parts of unknown origin especially into a 1911 Colt or Colt Clone pistol.
There are TONS of cheap junk 1911 parts floating around "out there" that are factory defective - counterfeit - sub standard - cheap knockoff or crappie import.
Use only known "high quality maker" parts in your CARRY pistol.
You need only search Ebay to find "No Name" Slide stops ~ barrel links ~ hammers & sears.
Please be careful & do not use those sort of parts to modify your self~defense pistol.

I am looking for some outside opinions. For 20 years a woman who is self-employed - has her own business has cleaned my home once a week. She does all the work herself but is also her own boss. For many years she was here every week come hell or high water and depended on the money she made cleaning. In the past few years she has been more involved in other pursuits but still cleans and can still use the money. She does call off frequently. I like this person personally and consider her a friend as well as the person who cleans my house although we do not see each other outside this relationship and probably won't in the future.
I am now retired and not going to go back to work. It is time for me to clean my own house. So what about severance pay? I will give her some for sure in lieu of notice. I'd like to say I would give her a week for every year but that is not in the budget. I pay her $60 a week for what was once 6 hours and is now 2 hours. What do you think is in order here. I know nothing is 'required' as she is not my employee, she is self employed but I want to hand her something to help out. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You're doing a very nice thing. I would say that $200 or even $250 would be a nice gesture. I give my cleaner a 'bonus' at the holidays of a little less than one month's pay (rounding it off). That would be about the same as what you'd be doing. |
I would not call it 'severance pay'. That implies more of a contract/obligation. |
I won't call it anything but I have no concerns about her claiming anything. |
You have no legal obligation to give her anything or any notice. It certainly would be nice to give something a gesture for the 20 years of service though. There aren't a lot of employee/worker relationships that last 20 years nowadays. I wouldn't frame it as a notice or severance etc - just a thank you. |
- Posted by adellabedella (My Page) on Thu, Sep 8, 11 at 10:07
I think I would just give her a nice gift of what you can afford. Honestly, if she is interested, she should be able to pick up another job in no time. I know where we live, trusted house cleaners are in demand. You could write her a letter of reference. |
I agree, give her what you are comfortable as a thank you. I don't usually tip people like that unless they go above and beyond like helping me move something, etc.. I think tipping is getting out of control. I offered to tip one of my hair stylist and she just laughed and said I don't take tips, I own the shop. |
Greetings Myrtle 59, I'm not qualified to offer any relevant suggestions. But I want to thank you for your kindness and generosity, wanting to do something more than the right thing for what has become something of a friend as well as a service provider. Good wishes to both of you for many happy, prosperous and fruitful years ahead. ole joyful |
Thanks everyone for your input. It was helpful. |
- Posted by gardenspice (My Page) on Sun, Sep 11, 11 at 21:02
Perhaps in addition, you could give her name to friends and neighbors who could use her services. That way, she could replace that income. |
- Posted by colorcrazy (My Page) on Sat, Oct 1, 11 at 21:26
Myrtle, I like gardenspice's suggestion. If your maid is in the metro DC area, please send her to me. If you had her for 20 years, she must be good! Congratulations on your retirement. |
I never had "household help". But I did have two long-term babysitters who watched my kids, put them on the bus, etc. I gave them an extra weeks pay at Christmas. I fired the first one when I found she'd been spanking my youngest daughter. No severance pay for her! The second one was a neighbor. When hubby became disabled and had to stay home, we no longer needed her, I gave her an extra weeks pay as a parting gift. Do whatever you feel comfortable with. Cash or a nice gift (maybe a piece of jewelry?) As far as I can see, there's no "contract" so you don't need to pay her "severance". |

The School for Compassionate Action
Recently I helped with a video shoot for an upcoming Tricycle Retreat with yoga and meditation teacher Jill Satterfield. Because Jill's teachings—a unique synthesis of yoga and Buddhism—have more of a physical element to them than most of the retreats we've hosted, she had a group of her students join her to engage in the practices and demonstrate restorative yoga poses. It was very inspiring, Jill and her students are clearly a closely bonded group of dedicated practitioners.During the shoot, I was very happy to learn about the The School for Compassionate Action, a non-profit organization which Jill recently founded. The School's mission is to provide "meditation, yoga, and education for communities in need and those who serve them."From schoolforcompassionateaction.org, More » -
Church bans yoga
Reading the tabloids is a bad habit I've developed this summer. I've weaned myself off most of them, though, but I can't quite quit the British tabloid the Sun ("Got a story? We pay £££"). Today's edition reports that a Methodist church near Manchester has banished an over-50s yoga group, leaving elderly yogis throwing up their hands. The church's new minister fears the yogis could be preaching "rival religions"—more specifically, Hinduism and Buddhism. Iris Turner, a 64-year-old yogini, isn't happy with the church's new minister, Rev. Amanda Roper: "Her views are extreme," she tells the Sun. "We are hurt, disappointed and offended." Mrs. Turner invited Rev. More »
