I don't understand why they are so popular among civilian shooters in America. I can see why they are popular with police forces in America and Europe they work and more importantly cheap. They are used by the police here but are not popular among civilian shooters. PS If someone give me one i would take it and then sell it.
Just not comfortable to shoot.
The grip angle is wrong IMHO. Easy enough to crank down the wrist and put shots on paper but not so easy when rounds are coming back at you. Glocks simply do not point "naturally" in relation to the ergonomics of the human hand and wrist.
I don't hate them, but I don't own them either for ^^THIS^^ reason... and yes, I have shot several models and calibers of this platform.
Beyond that, they are overpriced for what you get.
No way a poly gun that makes a "high point" look sexy is worth more that $400 new... Don't care how much Kool Aid you can suck down.

Alway keep your six covered
I don't understand either, but folks will like what they like.
I'm a pretty equal opportunity gun enthusiast. I like 1911s, I like Sigs, I like Smith &Wesson, I like Glock.
In my early stages of the hobby, I decided I was going to be in the anti-Glock camp. Plastic just seemed wrong. I worked part time at an indoor range and we were selling a lot of Glocks along with plenty of other guns. I would see folks come in with Glocks and have fewer problems than many other folks. Then we started renting them. I learned to appreciate the simplicity of the design, and the fact that we had fewer problems with them than many of the others. When I started teaching new shooters I found it pretty easy to get people to shoot a Glock pretty well in a short amount of time. They were pretty affoardable in the late '80s and early '90s compared to many other guns on the market. But I still wouldn't buy one.
When the 26 came out and I shot one I decided it was really justabout the best carry gun out there, offering 9mm power in such a compact size. I finally broke down and bought one. It was a no fuss gun and really brought out a mindset change with me that it was really a tool. It worked every time I pulled the trigger with anything I fed it. It was simple to operate.
Several years later an opportunity to buy a police trade-in 17 came up at a price I couldn't pass up. I figured if I didn't like It I could touch it up and sell it for more than I was paying for it. Turned out I really liked that pistol and decided to keep it as kind of an on-going project. I had very little invested in it, and had Glock go through it for free and do a complete overhaul of any worn parts.
Comparing it to Sig 226, I find the 17 to be a bit mroe shootable, because of the lower bore axis. (the Glock sits lower in teh hand with the bore closer to the hand) and the frame has a bit of flex, so it actually has less muzzle flip than the Sigs. It's pretty close to a 1911 in bore hight over the hand. So I find Glocks very controllable. the trigger reset is actually pretty short, if you learn how to manage it, and can give very fast, very accurate follow up shots. The grip angle is only unnatural to those who are accustomed to steeper angled pistol grips. If you take a high grip on the pistol, and lay the index finger along the frame lke you are pointing at the target before you put your finger on the trigger, it actually is a very natural pointing gun. And when you really lay a Glock on top of a 1911 the grip angle is not that different (especially if using arched mainspring housings in the 1911, which I prefer).
Some folks can't get past the polymer. Some people can't get past the looks. Some people can't get past the fans. Some people don't like the feel. Some people may have had a bad experience with one. Some people believe what they want to believe from the internet.
I don't have a problem with someone not liking a Glock. That's their right, for whaterever reason they choose. I won't argue with them or insult them.
Some guitarists like Fender vs. Gibson in the electric portion of that world. To me it doesn't matter, Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix both made some fantastic sounds come out of both.
It's just a great thing that there are choices so folks can find something that suits their own personal taste.
I dunno..
I used ot be a Glock guy. but now I am a revolver guy.. Dont know how it happened.
Its not against Glocks just love the feel and inherent accuracy of a revolver
GLOCKs have a purpose for sure. A GLOCK will keep your ammo fresh longer. And when the government confiscates my 1911s, I can always use a GLOCK to keep leftovers in the refrigerator. For these reasons, I went ahead an bought a GLOCK 19. Actually, I got it because it is different and adds some variety to my shooting fun.
Why is it that a freaking newbie starts these stupid a$$ threads? What is the REAL purpose of this thread?

Lavenderpyly and I recently participated in the "July MNF Fresh and Cool Round Robin Swap". I was her selected recipient. I must say, Keyla sent me a wonderful package of goodies, including a whole bunch of seeds from my want list! It was a great, really fun swap and, so far as I am concerned, Keyla was a major reason that it was so! :) She is a definite, joyous asset to GardenWeb! :)

Don't let husband ruin Christmas
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My husband is a Scrooge and I am a Christmas elf -- and this elf is ready to scream. Oh, he gets me a nice gift all right, but I have to tell him exactly what I want and where to buy it. Luckily our kids are so young they don't notice what a jerk he is compared to other dads during the holiday season. He says the Scrooge-like attitude came out of "a bad thing" in his childhood, but then he won't tell me what happened. I have tried and tried to find out several times, but he just slams the door shut on me. I am so sick of this that last night we had a big fight. Now I'm afraid things will be even worse. I do everything for Christmas on my own -- cooking, baking, all the gift-buying and the big dinner, to which we invite friends who don't have family in town. I give to the poor from my account and give him several thoughtful and fun gifts. I even have to wrap my own gift, which he lugs home after I point it out. Can you help us, please? I don't want him to kill my Christmas spirit. -- Married to Mr. Scrooge, Winnipeg
Dear Married to Scrooge: After this Christmas is over and before the new year, absolutely insist that your husband speak to a psychologist about issues from his childhood that are carrying over into his marriage experience with you and will soon affect his young children. Bitterness and anger and embarrassment may keep him from opening his mouth in front of you -- but a psychologist who doesn't know him personally will know how to get him to talk about it, without loss of pride in front of you. He will be able to express a whole mess of feelings, as psychologists are trained to bring out buried issues and help neutralize them. There's no point in fighting him over the symptoms -- he needs to work on the roots. If he keeps on refusing to speak about this issue, or to get help, go underground. Speak to his siblings and aunties, who often will blab. Unless he was sexually assaulted, and he's kept it quiet, they may know about his Christmas experiences from long ago.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I'm absolutely overwhelmed by the demands of my new wife for sex. We got married this year, and we had not gone all the way because that is part of our shared religion. Now we are married and she is a fiend for sex! She wants it every morning before I go to work, and when I get home from work while dinner's cooking, and then a longer session when we go to bed. At three times a day, it can be as much as 21 times a week. I understand this will lessen with child-bearing and have been considering getting her pregnant just to calm her down, but then somebody told me his wife got even more amorous when she got pregnant. I love this woman like crazy but I am not going to continue to be her sex slave! I am exhausted and I never get to do anything else I like to do anymore, like read, or play racquet sports. I live to serve her demands right now. I know there will be older married guys laughing at this and call me an idiot, but they don't live the life I do. -- Chained to Her Libido, Osborne Village
Dear Chained: Is it the sensation she craves or the absolute attention? When you come from work, distracted and tired, and she's ready to pounce on you, there's little you can do but accept or reject her advances. Since you're newlyweds and have no children, you could meet her after work for appetizers and dinner and give her your rapt attention. And you could start going out again. Ask her out to movies and to do activities, as you did before, when you weren't "allowed' to go all the way. That will satisfy some of her desire to be the apple of your eye. But she's still going to be amorous later on, and want a quickie in the morning -- and you'd be smart not to discourage that. Sex settles down on its own for newlyweds and it practically goes away at some points in a pregnancy -- like the first three months if she's sick, or the last couple if she's uncomfortable. And then there's the few months after that when both of you are sleep deprived and she's breast-feeding. Don't get her pregnant now! Have a baby when you're both ready, not to get her off your back (or front) sexually.

The Presidential Plan
January 11, 2007
by Richard SternLast night, standing in front of bookcases (History), wearing a dark blue suit (Seriousness) and a light blue tie (Hope), a handkerchief barely visible in a breast pocket (Limited Hope), President Bush spoke soberly, without a single one of his tragic, self-betraying smirks, for twenty minutes about his "new" strategy for "winning" the war in Iraq.
Trouble For The Carter Center
January 11, 2007
The Carter Center sinks. No, I didn't say that the Carter Center stinks--although it does. The whole enterprise is now an embarrassment, not least to Emory University.
More On Presidential Libraries
January 11, 2007
Yesterday, I posted on The Spine a comment on presidential libraries and how they were being insanely planted on both coasts and everyplace in between. This touched a response from Paul Kennedy, the distinguished scholar and J. Richardson Dilworth Professor of History at Yale University. Many of you know his provocative and popular book, The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers. Among his other 12 volumes are close studies of Anglo-German hostilities and the naval mastery of the Brits. Anyway and not surprisingly, Kennedy has had his experiences with presidential libraries.
Yet Another Peace Conference
January 11, 2007
Actually, I didn't know there was a Middle East peace conference taking place in Madrid. But at least three has-beens sent greetings: Mikhail Gorbachev, James Baker and Bill Clinton, who looks back at the Oslo festival on the White House lawn in 1993 as something of a triumph. What it was, of course, was a sham that kept the peace process breathing until it blew up in Clinton's face at Camp David in the fall of 2000. No, Arafat would not accept basically everything he had asked for. Who knows what animates Gorbachev? Maybe he hopes just to be remembered. He won't be.
Joe Liberman's Neverending Quest To Hit Rock Bottom
January 11, 2007
"We need to cut through the confusion. Bringing security to Baghdad--the essential precondition for political compromise, national reconciliation and economic development--is possible only with a surge of at least 30,000 combat troops lasting 18 months or so.
Blind Hope As Strategy
January 11, 2007
From today's NYT: [Bush] put it far more bluntly when leaders of Congress visited the White House earlier on Wednesday. "I said to Maliki this has to work or you're out," the president told the Congressional leaders, according to two officials who were in the room. Pressed on why he thought this strategy would succeed where previous efforts had failed, Mr. Bush shot back: "Because it has to." [Emphasis added.] That seems to be the underlying rationale to Bush's plan.
Make Way For Prince Sali
January 11, 2007
It's hilarious that new Idaho Republican Representative Bill Sali appears to be the brightest young thing now emerging from the Republican freshman class, given that, during his campaign, his own Idaho Republican colleagues called him him "incompetent" and an "embarrassment," and complained that he didn't have "one ounce of empathy in his whole fricking body." But upon arriving in Washington, Sali was elected president of his freshman class, allowed to attend a prestigious pre-Way Forward meeting with Bush, and selected to give a floor speech during yesterday's House debate on the minimum-wag
Arguing Over Iraq
January 11, 2007
I see another blog fight is brewing. I was waiting for somebody to drag me in, but since that isn't happening, I'll just jump in anyway. Jason writes to defend those of us who aren't certain about what to do in Iraq. As Jason puts it: I can't help but thinking that it was certainty--on the part of supporters of the war--that got us into this mess.
Profiles In Political Courage
January 11, 2007
By way of the Corner, but mysteriously absent from the home page of his exploratory committee, here's Giuliani's take on Bush's speech (bold added): STATEMENT FROM RUDY GIULIANI ON PRESIDENT BUSH'S SPEECH ON IRAQ "Success or failure in Iraq is not a matter of partisan politics but a matter of national security. All Americans should be hoping, praying and offering constructive advice for the success of our troops in Iraq and for those Iraqis seeking to create a stable and decent government. In that spirit, I support the President's increase in troops. Even more importantly
What Is Brownback Up To?
January 11, 2007
Probably the most interesting surge-related development on the right comes courtesy of Sam Brownback. Brownback, you'll recall, is the evangelical-cum-Catholic angling to become the conservative alternative to John McCain. Up until the last few months, he was a pretty reliable supporter of the war in Iraq. But he's since concluded that the war has taken a disastrous turn, and he's become more and more willing to call the administration on it. This all culminated with this week's statement that, "I do not believe that sending more troops to Iraq is the answer. ...

The Reading Room of the National Archives will be close at 17:00 on Thursday, 2 April 2015 and will re-open on Tuesday, 7 April at 9:15.
We have compiled a list of Frequently Asked Questions which we hope will make your visit to the National Archives as productive and enjoyable as possible.
Finding aids to the annual transfers of 30-year old departmental records are now available in our Reading Room. Members of the public with valid readers' tickets are welcome to visit and consult the material released by the following departments:
Electronic finding aids to this material will soon be available in our online catalogue.
Testamentary records from 1923-1951 are now available to search by name of the deceased in our online catalogue. This is in addition to the calendars of wills and administrations searchable online for the years 1858-1920 and 1922-1982.
The National Archives is listing and making available files that relate to compensation claims for property losses during the Civil War period, 1921-1923.
Currently, nine counties are searchable online. Remaining counties will be added to the online catalogue as listing is completed.
The "Guide to the records deposited in the Public Record Office of Ireland" by former Assistant Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Herbert Wood is now available to consult on our website. Published in 1919, the guide lists the collections lodged in the PROI at that time, many of which were subsequently destroyed in the fire during the civil war in 1922.
The National Archives, in partnership with FindMyPast and FamilySearch, has placed online some valuable new genealogical resources which complement the material already on our genealogy website. They are:
Census survivals, 1821-1851; surviving and copy census returns from the pre-famine period, with considerable clusters of records for places like Cavan, Meath and Antrim;
Census Search Forms, 1841-1851; records of searches in the census records pre-1922 to provide proof of age as eligibility for the Old Age Pension, introduced in 1909. These records give names and ages of members of the family in 1841 or 1851, and very often the maiden name of the applicant's mother.
These collections deal with 600,000 individuals in all, a substantial record of an important period in Irish history while the final tranche of our Soldiers' Wills covering 1917-1918 are now also available to search online.
The National Archives holds a collection of soldiers' wills for Irishmen who served in the British army in the 19th and early 20th century. These wills were made by non-commissioned soldiers who were encouraged by the army to make a will before leaving for active service.
There is a small number of wills surviving for Irishmen who served in the British army in the late 19th century and during the South African wars of 1898-1902; however, the vast majority of the collection dates from the First World War. We have digitised all these records and the entire collection is now available free online where researchers will be able to search the collection and view digitised images of the original wills.

Teemu Is Back

Comments (0)
Healthy once again, and back in the familiar No. 13 he wore when he scored 76 goals as a Winnipeg Jets rookie, Anaheim's Teemu Selanne has looked a lot like his old self lately. In his second tour of duty with Anaheim, the 35-year-old Selanne has put up early season numbers that are reminiscent of the astronomical totals he posted back in 1992-93, and we're not just talking about the digit on the back of his teal jersey.

How Harper Tories, Selinger NDP the same
OTTAWA -- According to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, at 10:19 p.m. Saturday night, Canada's national debt hit $600 billion.
It has never been that high and it's growing at a rate of $74.6 million a day.
Putting that into perspective, the amount of money Canada owes could pay NHL star Sydney Crosby for 68,974 more years.
In order to pay it off, every man, woman and child would have to fork over about $17,400 each.
This milestone comes less than two weeks after Finance Minister Jim Flaherty was forced to admit he isn't going to be able to balance the budget by 2015-16 as Prime Minister Stephen Harper promised during the 2011 election.
In fact, he is going to run deficits $20 billion more than expected over the next four years and maybe, if the stars align and the global economy co-operates, the budget will be back in the black by 2016-17.
Harper's hope to extend new tax credits and income-splitting for families just before he goes back and asks people for their vote again is seeming less likely by the day.
But Flaherty and Harper are not the only ones on the budget hot seat. Last Tuesday, Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger had to admit, in his second speech from the throne, his government would also be unable to keep its election promise of balancing the provincial budget by 2014. Manitoba's debt exceeds $14.5 billion and is growing faster than $4 million a day.
It is galling to diehard Manitoba Tories because their party lost the last election, in part, because it said it wouldn't be able to balance the budget until 2016, two years after the NDP.
So the Tories and their supporters were howling at an even higher pitch than usual about the NDP's inability to budget its way out of a paper bag.
But in the span of just over a week, both a provincial NDP government and a federal Conservative government had to admit they both had the same problem. They are spending more than they have, but of course, and both seem to think it's someone else's fault.
Both the Conservatives and NDP need to take responsibility for these situations. No, Flaherty couldn't control the U.S. housing collapse or the European debt crisis. No, Selinger could not get Mother Nature to behave and not flood much of southern Manitoba in 2011.
But both governments spent money that didn't need to be spent in good times and now throw up their hands in disbelief when they don't have enough in the bad times.
Before the 2008 recession, the Conservatives had already increased spending each year at far higher rates than the previous government ever did.
Sure, they blamed it on a minority government, but at some point, the man writing the cheques has got to stand up and take responsibility. It cannot always be someone else's fault.
Before the recession and the 2011 flood, the NDP generally balanced its budget every year using money from its rainy-day savings account rather than socking some away for a rainy day.
Now that revenues are down, all that spending has come back to haunt both governments, and it's tough for them to rein it in.
Every dollar spent that we don't have makes the problem worse, because as the debt grows, the cost of servicing the debt grows, leaving less money for core programs or simply increasing the size of the debt.
The provincial and federal governments both have dug their heels into the sand in their own ideological ways when it comes to dealing with the budget. While the federal Conservatives preach fiscal restraint, they run around the country passing out cheques for everything from snowmobile trail-clearing equipment to tennis court upgrades and pet-food-industry promotions.
In Manitoba, the province is adamant there will be no cuts to core services -- health care, education or children's programs -- in order to balance the budget.
These governments want to be re-elected and they know it's tough to sell voters on cuts and easy to buy votes with shiny new baubles purchased with big cheques provided by smiling MPs or MLAs.
Canada's debt situation isn't where it was 15 years ago, when the world's economic experts warned Canada was on the brink. We are not on a fiscal cliff. But it took the federal government less than three years to undo more than a decade's worth of debt repayment. If governments don't start getting tough, Canada's fiscal cliff will not be far off.

When to replant cannas?
I dug up my cannas last fall and winterized them in my attic. Can anyone tell me when I should replant them? Same for my dahlias.
Ann (Philly)
I'm a zone colder than you. I usually plant mine about end of 2nd week to 3rd week in May & usually deep enough so they don't sprout until early June. Since you're in a warmer zone it'd be depending when your last frost hits your area...otherwise, if they come up and we have frosts they'll freeze off the plants as tropicals require warm weather unless you cover them. With 4" of SNOW on the ground here just yesterday a.m. certainly no rush.
Ann, Plant your canna in nursery pots now to get a jump on the season. Dampen your potting soil and place tubers in pots. You don't need much water at first because it will make them rot. You don't even need sun or lamps until the tops sprout. That takes about 2 weeks. You can transplant these into your garden or place them in planters. Can't help you with dahlia. Good luck. Billie

Former Astec dealership GM Jeff Schwarz named president of the Eugene, Ore., plant.
KPI-JCI and Astec Mobile Screens has named Jeff Schwarz president of the company's Johnson Crushers International (JCI) manufacturing facility in Eugene, Oregon.
Schwarz will report directly to Jeff Elliott, who assumed the role of group vice president for Astec Industries July 1. In his new leadership position, Schwarz "will be responsible for setting and achieving the goals and objectives for the manufacturing facility," according to a KPI-JCI news release.
KPI-JCI and Astec Mobile Screens bills itself as a premier worldwide manufacturer for the aggregate, recycling and construction industries.
"JCI is an amazing company and I am quite proud to be chosen as the person that will guide the business into the future," says Schwarz. "The culture here is solidly grounded with Astec Industries' five core values. These core values have pointed all of our associates in the right direction in the past, and they will continue to do so well into the future. My vision is one that holds strong to our beliefs and values that have gotten us this far. This is a company that embraces innovation and is constantly challenging itself to do better."
Schwarz says the Oregon manufacturing facility is at a unique point in time where it is starting to feel the "growing pains" of an increasing demand for its products.
"Anyone who has visited the facility in the last year or so has probably recognized the need for more space," he comments. "The management group has started planning for what our facility will look like in the future, and I am looking forward to structuring an organization that has the tools and resources necessary to ensure the growth of the company."
Elliott, whom Schwarz replaces, says Schwarz was the ideal candidate for moving the company's Oregon location forward. "Jeff Schwarz brings a unique set of skills with him from his experiences of being a user of crushing and screening equipment, as well as distributors of crushing and screening equipment," Elliott says. "We look forward to his contributions in guiding JCI to meet its goals."
Since 2011, Schwarz has served as general manager of Astec AggReCon West, an authorized KPI-JCI and Astec Mobile Screens dealer based in Eugene. That role will now be filled by Jeff Lininger, who previously served as director of products for KPI-JCI and Astec Mobile Screens' Oregon location.
Previously, Schwarz served as aggregates manager for Kerr Contractors; general manager of Balzer Pacific Equipment Co.; district manager for CEMEX; business development manager for Rinker Materials; asphalt manager for Rinker Materials; and prior to that he ran his father's crushing and screening plant. Schwarz is a graduate of Portland State University.
With a background in equipment distribution, Schwarz says he looks forward to the opportunity to working with the company's authorized dealer network. "With my recent role as general manager of Astec AggReCon West, I am acutely familiar with the efforts required to sell our products," he remarks. "I hope to use this experience to understand the needs of our distributors that represent KPI-JCI and Astec Mobile Screens."
KPI-JCI and Astec Mobile Screens make equipment for the global aggregate, construction, paving and recycling industries. The company manufactures its products in Yankton, South Dakota; Eugene, Oregon; and Sterling, Illinois.

Christopher Heine | March 26, 2012 | Comments
Aamco is among brands getting help with pages.
Automotive companies with a ton of Facebook pages are getting an assist from the digital giant, ClickZ News has learned. It is assigning consultants to brands like Aamco and Cottman Transmissions Systems, advising them on how to manage directory information and supplying other tactics to help generate leads for locations nationwide.
Facebook aims to "help our industry understand how Facebook can be utilized to increase sales," said Derik Beck, director of new media at American Driveline Systems, which is the parent company for Aamco (800 franchises) and Cottman (80 franchises). The free consultation, he said, was recently offered to his company.
While attending SES New York last week, Beck and other marketers quizzed speakers from platforms like Bing and MomentFeed about how to optimize their social media pages for mobile search.
During one Q&A session, the topic took over the room as industry professionals were looking to solve pain points that come with coordinating branded and decentralized franchisees.
"We are trying to help our mom and pop shops," explained Sara Resnick, an SEO specialist at 1-800-Flowers.com. "We are trying to do it one at a time in Google Places and eventually Bing and [other web sites]. We understand the importance of local."
Beck said franchisors are ramping up on staffing to make sure information on location pages on Facebook, Google, and other business listing websites is accurate. "And if they are not, they must," he said. "It is a necessity."
Update: Facebook says the work it recently began doing with Beck's company is representative of the social site's general aim to help businesses. It hasn't created a new team as part of the effort, the Menlo Park, CA-based company says.

New research from a Russian computer security company offers good news and bad news for U.S. intelligence agencies.
On the one hand, the report by Kaspersky Lab appears to reaffirm that U.S. spies can hack into just about anything, including the preprogrammed code that helps a hard drive work. That means the U.S. could, in theory, burrow so deeply into a target's computer that its spyware would remain even if the target reinstalls every piece of consumer software.
On the other hand, the rest of the world now knows where to look for U.S. computer spies. Spies don't like being found. Read More »

Q: What did the White House announce today?
A: The Obama administration said it would fundamentally change how it searches Americans' phone records when looking for terror suspects. Since 9/11, the government has scooped up the basic details of millions of phone calls to build a searchable database.
Q: What does the president want to do instead?
A: The president now proposes to end the government warehousing of that data, and instead only search records held by phone companies when approved by a judge, or without a court order in the event of an emergency. Read More »
The National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security acknowledged in a settlement made public Tuesday that they were wrong to ban a leading custom-merchandise retailer from selling t-shirts, mugs, and posters that poked fun at the agencies.
The agreement puts to rest a First Amendment lawsuit against the federal government brought last year by a t-shirt designer, Dan McCall, who hawked merchandise on Zazzle.com that parodied the official seal of the NSA with jokes referencing the spy program disclosures. Another design imprinted on mugs featured a look-alike Homeland Security logo for a "Department of Homeland Stupidity." Read More »

Carolina Lilies - Dec 4 - Redrosey
I finished your block so I will post it today. Will take 10 days at least to reach you from Australia so should reach you before your birthday
Kristene (TinyTeena)
I was just looking at choosing fabrics for your block and I'm a little confused by the "ecru" :) I googled it and found mostly vague descriptions of a brownish-yellowish-greyish-dirtyish colour ... so what exactly did you want for this? A cream kind of fabric or something more brownish, like an unbleached muslin kind of colour? I've never done ecru before, lol :) Thanks!
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday, dear Kitty.
Happy Birthday to you!
Have a wonderful day, Kitty. In honor of your special day, you are hereby proclaimed Quilting Queen for a Day!
Have fun doing something special.

They each made me two blocks each, how nice and I love them. Thank you both so much for my blocks.....Am anxious to put this quilt together but don't know how soon I'll be able to cause I have a graduation quilt to make for my granddaughter before June....Since I quilt it myself it will take a while and don't have the top done yet... just got the rest of the fabric for it today.... Thanks again ladies.....Kitty

By Judith Krimski
Ladies in da House! This intrepid reporter, AKA Master of the Obvious has noticed that WOAH! THE LADIES are dominating Corporate Challenge 2014.
We racing sailors are all cognizant of the fact that sailing is a male dominated sport. I am reminded of this every time I go to a Laser Masters regatta and I'm the only woman competing. Recently, as a joke, I page through the June issue of Sailing World magazine counting men to women pictures. Granted I didn't get beyond page 3 (all those ads in the front - so boring) and I didn't count pictures of people when they were too small to discern the sex of the person. Still, my tepid attempt at scientific process yielded a ratio of five men to one woman. Pretty darned pathetic if you ask this lady sailor.
But that means nothing in the face of THE LADIES conquering the Corporate Challenge. Most notably one lady representing Fidelity boat two. "I'm just a mom." That was the response I got when I spoke to Kristina Stooken of after racing Monday night. As it turns out the "Just a Mom." raced 470's. Mark Lindsay was impressed. "That's a very technical boat." Technical or not Kristina shows her chops on the water with consistent top finishes. It's a rare person who can make a tubby boat like the Rhodes 19 go but she does it well for "just a mom." Here's hoping she shows up all the fellas and takes the big prize. My money's on that filly.
Everyone who sails the Corporate Challenge knows by now that funds raised go towards providing scholarships for Courageous kids. We've been fortunate over the weeks to have several of our "Courageous kids" racing. As someone who's been affiliated with Courageous over the years, working first as an adult instructor and later as racing coach in the youth program, I've had the privilege of coaching and working with many of the kids. I can say without hesitation that our Courageous kids are, by far, the finest people. Monday night I watched Jack Flaherty—one of my coaching "prodigies" and now a member of the BC sailing team—sailing around the race course. I felt like a proud mama. I first coached Jack in 420s when he was in 8th grade. Jack was a lively child. Still is. "You were the most annoying nice kid I ever coached." I say that pretty much every time I see Jack. He always smiles.
Then there's Ben Ringrose - one of the two Bens who sail for the Boston Public Schools sailing team. Ben R. and I worked Courageous frostbiting race committee this winter. We spent Saturdays together driving around in an Eastern moving marks and yelling at sailors when they tried to out run the good ship Odyssey. We commiserated on how miserably cold we were, saying stuff like, "This sucks." and "What were we thinking?" Standing on the cold deck of the motorboat watching the snow swirl by with every weekend getting colder. Ben, with his great conversation and ready laugh, made it all bearable. I have finally blocked out memories of the cold, the freezing rain, the icy needles of snow piercing my face as I drove around the race course. I will never forget the fun I had with Ben.
Monday, June 16. By resident Challenge Blogger Judith Krimski.
Yes, there was more of that sailboat racing stuff on Boston Harbor. Winds veering from easterly sea breeze to SW.
It never fails. Just another stellar night on Boston Harbor and my "happiness quotient" is a solid 9.99999. Every time I venture out from Courageous Sailing, whether in a motor boat or sailboat, I think "I am the luckiest person." As I park on Pier 3 and pull the requisite sailing gear out of the car; PFD, hat, jacket, sunglasses, I sniff the air, squint my eyes and search down Pier Four for the American flag perched on the top of the Courageous boathouse. Sailors like myself are always looking for breeze.
It never fails. Breeze is the first thing most sailors think of when we wake up in the morning. Slowly lifting our heads from the pillow, we come to consciousness. Yawning, we automatically pivot towards the nearest window looking for signs of wind. The flicker of leaves in the morning light. That soft rustling that heralds a light breeze. Sniffing we sense the direction: northwest = gusty clear air; northeast = possible backdoor cold front; southwest = a hot strong wind that tells us summer has arrived. I wonder what non-sailors first thoughts are when they wake up in the morning, probably stuff like, "Arrrgh, another boring staff meeting to attend today." or "I need a donut."
Everyone should spend a night hanging out on the RC Boat with our able PRO Carl Zimba. PROs are in charge of making sure races are run smoothly. They communicate with mark boats to get the course set square to the wind, they run starts and call boats who are over early. That's why Carl's voice is always hoarse at end of the night, "FOUR! FOUR IS OVER!!!!" And they record finishes which can be quite a challenge when there's more than a few boats finishing. That's why Carl is so good. He always gets it right.
"I got my mojo back." Becky Wheatland from Step Ahead Physical Therapy was happy to announce over drinks and and dinner aprés sailing. After two weeks of great finishes Becky's team came away with a second place for night three. Another team who improved tremendous was Boston Private Bank who earned a bullet in race one. I had noticed this team on the first night of sailing. They had good boat speed but were obviously struggling a bit with boathandling. That's why is great to see such a big improvement.
After three nights of racing there are five teams vying for top spot. Kudos to them. But you know what? The real story behind the Courageous Corporate Challenge is all the other teams. The BPB team who gets a bullet and says to themsleves "We got this." The Alphagraphics team whose skipper Carmine just helmed his second night. And all the other teams who are just coming out for the fun of sailing and most importantly to support Courageous programs.
It never fails. Courageous Corporate Challenge. Sailboat racing. Tons of fun and good competition. Turning non-sailors into sailors. Helping really awesome kids learn sailing and do other cool stuff. Happiness quotient? A solid 9.99999.
Hello Frostbiters,
With just two weeks left in the season, Courageous is looking to continue our string of great race days with 5+ races per day. The weather is looking gorgeous! Temps will be in the mid 40s, sunny, with a steady breeze around 10 knots from the NW. I look forward to seeing you all out there on the nicest day we will have this week!
Hello Frostbiters!
My weekend forecast email will be coming out on Friday, this is just a friendly recap of our Valentine's Regatta (it was last week, I know, we are a little ahead of ourselves) and some important notes as we continue to smooth out bumps moving towards the end of the Frostbiting season.

Reti-C Eyes Intensive Corrective Care is an emollient moisturizer for dry skin anywhere on the face. It contains a tiny amount of vitamin C (as ascorbic acid) and an even smaller amount of retinol, though at least the packaging will help keep these ingredients stable during use. This product is fragrance-free.
Vichy's first corrective eyecare treatment combining the double effectiveness of pure Retinol and pure Vitamin C with the soothing benefits of Vichy Thermal Spa Water for a complete action on surface wrinkles. After 28 days, fine lines and surface wrinkles are reduced.
Water, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Squalene, Glycerin, Cetyl Alcohol, PEG-40 Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate, Apricot Kernel Oil, Corn Starch, Ascorbic Acid, Petrolatum, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Sorbitan Tristearate, Soybean Oil, Methylparaben, Sodium Hydroxide, Arginine PCA, Retinol, Propylparaben, Laureth-7, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Polyacrylamide, Polyaminopropyl Biguanide
Vichy At-A-Glance
Strengths: Some fragrance-free products; all the sunscreens but one contain either avobenzone or titanium dioxide for sufficient UVA protection; some commendable moisturizers with sunscreen; some good, inexpensive cleansers, and scrub for dry skin.
Weaknesses: Repetitive moisturizer formulas that rarely rise above the median for excellence; jar packaging is pervasive; the at-home peel/scrub kit is mostly disappointing; a couple of irritating moisturizers; no products for those with skin discolorations; limited options for oily skin.
Health is vital. That's the opening line on Vichy's catalog, followed by "Start with your skin." Perusing the opening pages of this catalog, it's easy to see how someone could get wrapped up in this L'Oreal-owned company's belief in listening to the signals skin sends us and then choosing products to address whatever problem skin is signaling you to correct. That might include acne, blackheads, eczema, discolorations, broken capillaries, and even excess oiliness. No surprises there, and it is sound advice to adapt your skin-care routine as your skin's needs (and signals) change. The problem is that Vichy's products, though well intentioned, are incapable of addressing several common problems, including most of those listed above. About all you can expect from most Vichy moisturizers is relief from dryness. That's it. Every product's claims "talk the talk," but they cannot possibly walk the walk because what's in them is, for the most part, standard, and without any research behind it to show that it makes a difference.
A big-deal ingredient for Vichy is their Thermal Spa Water. It is said to reduce irritation, strengthen skin's natural defenses, and provide free radical–quelling activity thanks to its trace minerals and salt. There is no substantiated proof to support these claims, save for a somewhat primitive chart Vichy provides to show this water helps reduce cutaneous signs of irritation (what it was compared to, if anything, is unknown). Two other L'Oreal-owned brands, Biotherm and La Roche-Posay, have similar special waters, each claiming to be mineral-rich. Yet if these are so unique and wonderfully beneficial for everyone's skin, why don't all L'Oreal-owned lines such as Lancome, L'Oreal, Kiehl's, SkinCeuticals, and The Body Shop, use them, too?
As expected, there are some bona fide winners among Vichy's products, but using Vichy exclusively with the expectation that their products have the answer to whatever your skin needs to have fixed is like thinking green tea is the only food your body needs.
Note: Vichy is categorized as a brand that tests on animals because its products are sold in China. Although Vichy does not conduct animal testing for its products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brands state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law." Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Paula's Choice Research Team.

Special Correspondent
COIMBATORE: Residents, members of non-Governmental organisations and elected representatives of the Coimbatore Corporation took a pledge at Ward 3 here recently to take the civic body's solid waste management programme forward, so that the city remained clean.
The pledge was part of a series of events being held by the Corporation to sensitise the public to the need for segregation of waste at source. Administered by Mayor R. Venkatachalam, the pledge contained guidelines for the residents on how to go about segregating waste generated kitchen and garden waste and other types of garbage generated every day.
Deputy Mayor N. Karthik, North Zone Chairman C. Padmanabhan, Health Committee Chairman P. Nachimuthu, Assistant City Health Officer R. Sumathi and Priscilla of Green Mother Trust were also took the pledge.
Officials in the civic body pointed out that the Corporation was already distributing/pasting stickers containing these guidelines.
Model wards
The public at Ward 3, one of the nine model wards chosen for a pilot project, were told that segregation at source was an effective method to reduce the burden on the Corporation in waste management. If people kept biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste in separate bins at home and handed these over to the conservancy workers, the Corporation could handle tougher tasks such as turning waste into manure and disposal through landfills.

Air Force Jams Garage Doors 335
from the all-your-doors-are-belong-to-us dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I wager these garage doors have that little notice on them, you know, the one that says "this is an FCC class B(?) device... must not interfere, must accept any such interference, blah, blah, blah...". The manufacturer can stand behind that. It's CYA compliant, probably, from a legal standpoint. It's definitely not PR compliant. I don't see this so much as a problem with the Air Force trampling on our rights, as a company that took a gamble that there would never be any powerful interference that would mess with their device. Usually there isn't.
All that aside, USAF should either stop using the frequency or offer to refund a retrofit of existing doors--whichever is cheaper. I can also foresee the mfct recalling the doors; but if they do that they probably have no recourse with the government. After all, they knew they were taking a chance by producing such a device. And then the garage door people could start using ultrasonic or infrared, with a crypto key of some kind between the receiver and transmitter to guarantee non-interference, and that would be that.
This is just another reason for me to be happy I don't have a car, nevermind a garage.
