How to Choose the Right Pistol (Handgun)
Five Methods:Choosing a good sidearmSelect a caliberNotice about bullet considerationChoose a type of bulletPistol accessories
Police, military, and concerned citizens must objectively and thoroughly choose a handgun which fits their needs. The decision is quite difficult as the list of handguns is long and there is no perfect handgun, no perfect caliber, and no perfect bullet. Available accessories may also affect the decision; read on to find some pointers that may help you think of aspects which you may have overlooked.
Method 1 of 5: Choosing a good sidearm
Though any pistol can be wielded better, the choice of weapon can seriously limit your ability to protect yourself with lack of accuracy or, more importantly, reliability. Here are some generalities to look at when purchasing a weapon for this specific use. None of these are concrete as there are exceptions to all of them, and a pistol that fits you personally is always the best choice.
1Larger pistols are more accurate than smaller ones, due to their fit to the hand, weight (reduced felt recoil), and longer sight plane.Ad
2Smaller pistols are easier to conceal and are lighter to carry.
3Smaller calibers mean less recoil, which in turn means faster and more accurate follow-up shots, but generally, less energy and force.
4Larger calibers inflict more damage per bullet.
5Reliability and accuracy are both important attributes of a pistol.
6Revolvers are more reliable and simpler than semi-autos.
7Point-shoot accuracy is more important than sighted accuracy when considering self-defense tactics (this is a controversial point in modern pistolcraft; read Combat Ready (Tactically Prepare) Yourself With a Pistol for more information).
8Determine basic point-shoot capabilities of the gun. With an unloaded gun, close your eyes and point the gun in a safe direction with your finger next to the trigger, but not on it, at a makeshift target. Open your eyes — the sights should be lined up exactly where you wanted it. At five yards, it should be no more than a couple inches off center-target.
- If the handgun is pointing high or low, this can be compensated for with practice. For example, almost everyone who has never used a Glock before has a high point-shoot location by 6–10 inches (15.2–25.4 cm) at five yards. But with practice, you will find that you can compensate for that quickly. But, if you then pick up a better-fit gun, you will find that it will point low. If the point is too far off, you might want to consider a different handgun.
Method 2 of 5: Select a caliber
This is another quandary which will often put some of the best and most knowledgeable against each other.
1Remember that no bullet is perfect, so consider both the benefits and drawbacks. Most people who study handgun bullet ballistics and tactics such as Jeff Cooper ("the father" of what is known as "the modern technique of the handgun") have concluded that, comparatively, handgun rounds are weak, and bullet-placement is a much more reliable fight-stopper than the round itself. Not to say that there aren't some advantages to one round over another, and in a fight the advantage should always be on your side.
2There are a few major features which should always be considered in caliber selection.
- Penetration is extremely important. If a bullet does not penetrate deep enough, vital organs and the nervous system are less likely to be damaged. In the late '90s the FBI conducted extensive studies which suggest a bullet should penetrate at least 14–16 inches (35.6–40.6 cm) to be reliable. This allows for bullets to enter a body at less than optimal angles and still have enough energy to reach vital organs or the spine.
- Permanent cavity is the resulting "void" in a fleshy target where the majority of a bullet's energy was transferred and tissue was destroyed. The larger the permanent cavity, the greater the chance of vital organs or central nervous system being destroyed.
- Recoil is something that is often not talked about in bullet ballistics because it is a very subjective and weapon-specific characteristic. Low recoil allows you put place more shots quicker and more accurately. Each person will have a different feel for the recoil of a bullet, and each handgun will transfer the recoil to the user in different ways.
- Bullet energy is an over-emphasized feature of a round. In handguns, energy of bullets are extremely low. "Knock down power" is a fable born of Hollywood action movies; stories of people being "knocked down" after being shot has been proven to happen because of a preconceived notion that when shot you are supposed to fall down. People shot with a .22LR in non-vital areas have fallen down because they assumed being shot is synonymous with falling down and possibly dying.
- "Bullet energy" is a rebuttal against people bragging about a bullet's energy without other considerations, but the amount of energy will also contribute to the first three points positively and negatively. The first three points on the other hand are all competing against each other in the search for a perfect bullet. If a low-recoil round with deep penetration and a massive permanent cavity were available, no other handgun bullet would be needed.
3A comparison of the most common semi-automatic handgun rounds:
- 9mm Parabellum is the most common pistol caliber. Its relatively low recoil allows for quick, accurate follow up shots. The magazine capacity is usually much greater than other larger rounds. Cost is low and availability is excellent, making the 9mm an attractive choice for extended practice. Finally, there are excellent higher pressure (+P rated) loads available, producing excellent self-defense characteristics (make sure your handgun is rated to shoot +P loads before you use them).
- .45 ACP uses heavier, wider bullets than the 9mm at somewhat lower velocity. The caliber lends itself to use with sound suppressors due to the fact that a standard round (230 grain) is subsonic under almost all circumstances. The permanent cavity (on ballistics gel) of a JHP .45 is about 40% larger than JHP 9mm. Recoil is more severe than the 9mm, and magazine capacity tends to be much lower. Most law enforcement officers will say (referring to a point-blank gun fight), if you don't hit them in the first three bullets, you aren't going to hit them. So, large capacity magazines mean less than you may think.
- .40 S&W is another common caliber with performance characteristics somewhere between the 9mm Para and .45 ACP. It has gained a large following in law enforcement agencies and elsewhere. Among other benefits of the round, the flat nose of the round has shown to create larger temporary cavities and also to allow the energy to transfer at a quicker rate create a sizable permanent cavity.
4There are many other calibers which have not been mentioned here. .38 Special, .357 Magnum, and .44 Magnum are common revolver cartridges. The 357SIG (a 9mm bullet in a necked-down .40 cal casing) and 10mm Auto are also somewhat prevalent autoloader calibers. Another specialty round is the 5.7x28mm, made by FN, designed to defeat Class III body armor with appropriate ammunition. Such steel-tipped ammunition is not widely available to civilians, but the advantage of the round as a very low-recoil, high-velocity round cannot be denied. Additionally, due to its tumbling affect in soft targets it creates a considerable permanent cavity (for its size) while still penetrating deeper than 14 inches (35.6 cm).Ad
Method 3 of 5: Notice about bullet consideration
1First of all, knock-down power in a pistol caliber is a complete farce. Information can be found on the internet, "here are twenty accounts of X caliber bullet getting a one-shot knock down". The question is, how many shootings were waded through or disregarded to get these accounts? There are documented instances where a man shot with a .22LR in a non-vital area fell down and eventually died (presumably because he was convinced being shot meant he was going to die). It has been ingrained in movie watchers that being shot is synonymous with falling down or dying.
2Newton's law says, "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" meaning that if the bullet had enough force to knockdown your target, firing the bullet would have enough force to knock you down. If you don't believe this, do some research on the internet, there are many people doing objective testing of knockdown power.
3All this to say, one bullet is not guaranteed to knock a person down better than the other; it is more of a matter of who you are shooting, where you are shooting them, and whether or not this person has it in their mind that they should fall down when shot. Shot placement is much more important than the bullet size or energy. On the contrary, the correct bullet choice may give you the edge which is needed for you to walk away from the fight.Ad
Method 4 of 5: Choose a type of bullet
Bullet choice should be a big consideration while carrying or for home defense. As with calibers, there is no perfect bullet type. There are some that are better than others, but everything has their trade offs.
1Jacketed hollow-point (JHP) bullets are almost universally considered the best choice for defense ammunition. Other expanding designs such as Federal EFMJ and Cor-Bon DPX are also considered effective. It has been proven that JHP and other expanding rounds at handgun velocity are unreliable (at best); to the point that subsonic rounds are less than 50% likely to expand fully . Another controversy with hollow-point rounds is that when the round expands it creates a larger permanent and temporary cavity, but because of the faster energy transfer it reduces the penetration depth.
2Solid FMJ bullets do not have the problem of losing their energy as quick and are known for penetrating through barriers and still piercing deep enough into flesh to arrive at vital organs. The permanent cavity is reduced in size (compared to JHPs), but there are trade off to every bullet.
- Federal Hydra-shok is a bullet which looks like a standard JHP from many angles, but inside the front cavity there is a "spear". This allows the bullet to open up and still pierce through some things. When it was first created this design led the industry, but most will say that improved standard JHP designs have since caught up.
- Reverse-tapered hollow point is a unique kind of bullet. The hole in the bullet increases in diameter as it descends through the bullet. The design allows for some penetration through hard objects without opening. When the bullet does open it folds open into separate sections which are held together by the jacketing.
- Soft-tip JHP is a very vague description for any type of JHP which has a filling in the hole (it may be polymer or other hard material). This allows the bullet to pierce some objects or to travel through soft things (like clothes or flesh) for a period of time before opening up, allowing for deeper penetration. There are alternate names for such bullets, like ballistic-tip or V-Max. This is arguably the most versatile bullet. It will easily penetrate heavy clothing while retaining its ability to expand in a soft target.
3Bullet weight is another thing to consider. In general, lighter bullets have higher velocities than heavier ones, so over shorter distances (less than 100 yards) lighter bullets have flatter trajectories. The problem with light bullets is that against soft targets they lose their energy with less resistance than heavier bullets. It has been proven that extremely light bullets can even be stopped by very heavy clothing. A general rule is during summer, any bullet will work, but light is nice for ballistic reasons; during the winter, when people are wearing heavy clothes, heavy bullets are superior.
- A light 9mm bullet would be 100 grains. And a heavy bullet would be 147 grains (though 124/125 gr. is more common).
- A light .40 would be 135 grains, and heavy .40 would be 180 grains.
- A light .45 would be 165 grains. But a 230 grain would likely be better for almost any purpose in a .45; even heavier bullets such as 250 grain are also available.
4Powder loads can change a bullet's ballistics and the gun's feel. Standard loads are always recommended for most guns, but some guns like Glock and H&K specify the ability to fire hot loads. Most H&K pistols come with a dual-stage recoil spring which helps with felt recoil as well as recoil shock to internal components. This allows H&K to shoot +P (hot powder load) and +P+ (very hot powder load) without a problem. Other guns may need a spring replacement or other changes. The hotter loads allow for more muzzle energy and velocity as well as better reliability since the slide will be racked harder with the extra energy (less chance of limp-wristing or stovepipes).
5Practicing with the ammunition you intend to use for self defense can get expensive. You should fire many of your "specialty" rounds to make sure the firearm cycles reliably with them. Some pistols are picky about certain JHP bullet shapes. For general practice you can use FMJ to keep it cheap, but consider using the same weight (grains) bullets and, if possible, the same load (Standard, +P, etc) because rapid-fire cycles can change drastically with different weight and loads.Ad
Method 5 of 5: Pistol accessories
Some pistol accessories can benefit you and hurt the performance of your sidearm at the same time. The following are a few common modifications with both pros and cons.
1Night sights are a welcome addition to any conceal carry or duty weapon. It allows the user to sight up targets in low- or no-light situations. The problem with any night sights used in nearing dusk, or early morning, when there is not enough light to adequately illuminate the white rings, and it is too bright to see the tritium, at this point the sights are very difficult to accurately line up. But any darker (when most shootings take place) the night sights are very visible.
2Tactical, attached lights not only are able to light whole rooms, but can also give bad guys a short period of blindness if used on them. The problem is that they add weight to the gun, and can possibly throw off the balance. Some argue that they also give the bad guy a nice easy target to aim at (but honestly, just try looking at the light for a few seconds — they may know in what direction to shoot, but they won't see what they are shooting at). Buying a cheaper light will almost guarantee it breaking after a while. For a duty or concealed weapon, this can be left off, but for home defense use, it may be a very good thing to always identify your target before taking action. Also, a separate hand-held light can do most of what an attached light can do.
3Trigger work is another tempting modification that many people do to their pistols. Often lightening the trigger pull, or shortening the length of the pull. This is great for target shooting or match shooting, but a trigger pull that is less than three pounds can quickly become unsafe if you are carrying the gun a lot. It can also help a lot with quick follow up shots, making them more accurate. This is a change that should only be made to the gun if the trigger pull is grossly heavy or long.
4Rubber slip-on grips can make your sidearm more comfortable. This is often a good thing, and for people with very large hands, it is a must to allow for a solid fit on the grip. The grips have problems though. They can move, this can affect accuracy and require constant adjustment. Most tactical-style handguns have groves and hatches in the grip to allow a firm grip even with sweaty hands; the rubber makes the gun a bit slippery when sweaty. Additional maintenance is also required, as sweat and dirt will build up under the grip, which require the rubber to be taken off and the grip and rubber washed thoroughly. If you have large hands, try using rubber grips, or for a gun which has a very uncomfortable grip.Ad
We could really use your help!
- Always maintain your pistol correctly and often.
- Rapid fire isn't everything. Controlled speed-firing is the correct term. Unless you are within an arm's reach of your target, you must be able to balance speed and accuracy.
- Next: learn to get better using your pistol, and be sure to practice using your pistol with drills (accompanying articles).
- The correct pistol is the one that works perfectly for you. Even if other people may not like it, the best pistol you can use, is your pistol.
- The more you practice correctly the better you will get.
- Be sure to know what is down range. Bullets can travel for miles or can bounce and ricochet into unintended directions.
- Safety first! Firearms can be very dangerous when not handled properly. Only use a pistol or other firearm if you are an experienced shooter or have a very experienced shooter directly supervising you.
- A pistol can inflict serious injury or even death. Be sure to always point the pistol in a safe direction and never point it at something you do not intend to shoot. It is VERY easy to point a pistol in the wrong direction. Keep your head about you and focus on the task(s) at hand.
- Any firearm should only be shot in a safe and legal location. Be aware of state and local laws on use and transportation of a firearm and follow them carefully. Laws change drastically between states and can change between counties or even cities.
- All practicing should be done at the shooting range obeying all safety rules, or in a legal and private location with an unloaded gun (or you can replace the rounds with snap-caps).
- Pistols are rarely the best weapon of choice for combat situations. Rifles and shotguns do much more damage than pistols. Pistols are best for targets at 0–10 yards (0.0–9.1 m), shotguns are best for targets at 2–50 yards (1.8–45.7 m), and rifles are best for targets at 4–1,000 yards (3.7–914.4 m).

Ask her:

You need to hear her thoughts on disciplining kids.
We assume you've worked out whether you both want children, and maybe even how many. (You have done this, right?) But how you'll discipline them is a topic that's often overlooked. Bring it up the next time you see an unruly child at a restaurant shooting jelly packets across the booth. Ask her how she'd handle it and how she was disciplined as a child.
"Either we tend to follow the way we were raised, or, if something was objectionable about the way we were raised, we do the opposite," Doherty says. Different parenting styles can cause the most strain on a marriage because they can be a daily, even hourly, source of conflict.
"It's chronic acid on a relationship," says Scott Stanley, Ph.D., codirector of the Center for Marital and Family Studies at the University of Denver and coauthor of Fighting for Your Marriage.

Two sponsors joining forces to bring NFC phone to next year's games.
Samsung and Visa are working on a NFC-packing Olympics phone, which will be handed out to athletes competing in next year's London games. And what's more, regular punters will be able to get in on the act too.
The phone will be released as part of a wider tie-up between the two companies, as they look to make contactless payments more popular. The Samsung-made phone will pack a Visa-backed SIM card, letting you wave the phone at any NFC reader to pay for food or assorted Olympic tat. All you need to do to activate the service is dive into the on-board Visa app.
NFC is becoming increasingly popular, with Google baking support for the tech into Android Gingerbread. Apple is reportedly working on bringing NFC to its next-gen iPhone as well.
Will you buy Samsung's Olympic phone? Or are you unconvinced by NFC? Tell us your thoughts now over on our Twitter and Facebook pages.


text: What do other people think of this film? The original "Frankenstein" and "Bride of ..." get all the publicity but I find "Son of ..." very entertaining. It has 4 of the greatest 30s/40s horror stars, amazing sets (Castle Frankenstein doesn't seem the most comfortable place to live), that Gothic atmosphere, and some unexpected humor (Atwill's police chief with the artificial arm, Lugosi's character who can't get hung again because it didn't work the first time!). But what puts it over the edge for me is the wild performance by Basil Rathbone who gets crazier as the film progresses until at the end he is maniacally shouting all his lines. The dart throwing scene with Lionel Atwill makes me crack up every time!! They must have been having a ball when they made this flick!

The 2013 Alumni Photo Contest Winner 3rd Place
Congrats to the 2013 GlobaLinks Learning Abroad Alumni Photo Contest winners! We wondered, what is the story behind these photos? So we asked! 3rd place – Korina Harman, Photo: "Baby Tiger" (Korina studied at Murdoch University)
The Story Behind the Photo: "Benjamin Disraeli once said "Like all great travelers I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen." Spring 2012 was as much a mission of self discovery as a time to geographically discover and explore life outside of the United States. I chose to study in Perth, Australia with GlobaLinks Learning Abroad because it provided me with the opportunity and courage to leave behind a life that became familiar and brought comfort to experience the anxious excitement of unknown people, places and experiences. I went to Australia without knowing a single person, but that quickly changed. I made friends from the West and East coasts of the United States while exploring the Great Barrier Reef, jungle and animals of the eastern coast of Australia. I then left for Perth (Western) Australia where I lived for five months with two men from Singapore, a woman from Europe and another woman from Australia. We were all very different from each other, but had one commonality; we wanted to experience more of the unfamiliar and see what we could offer the world. I quickly bonded with a group of Australian men, a woman from Canada, another woman from Europe, and a woman from South Africa. The Australian men took us in and showed us the ways of the Australian culture; taking us to their homes, letting us drive their cars (it takes a while to get use to the left side of the road!), taking us to restaurants, sporting and also inviting us into their group of social events. While experiencing Australia's rich culture, I still felt that there was more to discover while being abroad. This is when my Canadian friend and I decided to travel to Thailand and Indonesia. In Thailand, we trekked the jungle of Chaing Mia with a 50 pound backpack for five days sleeping in villages, riding elephants, building bamboo rafts and learning the ways of the people who lived in these villages.
We visited the Tiger Kingdom where we each played with tigers of all sizes, danced the night away in Phuket, visited the Grand Palace in Bangkok, and took a boat through the Chia Thye Poh Islands. After Thailand we made our way over to Indonesia. Here we visited the temples and sacred religious sanctions of their land, spoke with monks and learned about their culture. We then visited Monkey Temple, swam in a hot spring and waterfall, walked through a rice paddy and made a splash in the Indian Ocean. Those five months allowed me to see the world in a way that I never could have imagined. It allowed me to make friendships that will last a lifetime and experience events that I never knew existed. Like Benjamin said, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen." – Korina Harman

Veterans Services and Support
Veterans Services
In recent years, the City of Chandler has partnered with the Arizona Department of Veterans Services to establish a Chandler Veterans Benefits Counselor office that directly serves the needs of veterans within our community. The City also sponsors an annual Military & Veterans Benefits Expo. The City is partnering with the Arizona Department of Veterans Services to explore potential outreach opportunities focusing on the southeast Valley. In addition, the City is working with Veterans' Boot Camp (http://www.veteransbootcamp.com) to collaborate on programs that focus on veterans' reintegration and employment training.
Why We Support the Memorial
David White
"A veterans memorial serves as a tribute to those who have served our nation in times of peace and war, and as a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made to protect our freedom and way of life."
- David White, Community Manager, Gila River Indian Community; MSgt., U.S. Air Force (Retired)
Fred Ferguson
"Our veterans will have a place where they can think back to their experiences, remember their buddies and the good times. For the nonveteran, this memorial should remind them of the awful price that some people have paid for their freedom. Freedom is not free. It's been paid for by a lot of blood, sweat and tears; by a lot of good people since 1776."
- Fred Ferguson, Major,U.S. Army (Retired), Medal of Honor Recipient
Jerry Brooks
"This memorial will remind the public about a part of our American heritage, and the roots of our democracy, and how we've maintained it. It will provide the basis for many people to express their appreciation for those who have served."
- Jerry Brooks, Colonel,U.S. Air Force (Retired), Chandler Mayor 1984-1988
Lew Bradley
"The design brings out the greatness of the USA. Just imagine a child visiting and saying, 'This is a great honor to Grandpa or Grandma."
- Lew Bradley, American Legion Post 35; Life Member Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 7968, Korean War Veterans, Charter Member Marine Corps League Detachment 1296; Sgt.,U.S. Marine Corps (Retired)

Sewage is foundflowing into creek
By Colin McDonald
February 26, 2011
: Updated: March 1, 2011 9:50am
Photo By Robin Jerstad/Special to the Express-News
Gerald Johnson, an environmental protection specialist with SAWS, eyes the flow from a storm drain under the Brazos Street Bridge.

A SAWS production crew works to repair a sewage leak on South Brazos Street next to Apache Creek in San Antonio. LISA email@example.com
Sandbags plug a storm drain with a sewage leak under the South Brazos Street Bridge over Apache Creek in San Antonio. LISA firstname.lastname@example.com
It smelled like sewage, looked like sewage and coated the walls of the concrete pipe with the slime of sewage. But it was coming out of a storm water pipe under the Brazos Street Bridge and flowing into Apache Creek.
That's a violation of federal law and wasn't what the San Antonio Water System wanted a reporter to see when it took him along on an inspection of West Side creeks.
A month earlier, the utility had tested the site and found no sewage. It expected to find the same Thursday and show the high bacteria counts that have plagued the West Side creeks for decades aren't caused by sewage but rather by homeless people, birds and dogs living along them.
As it turned out, though, the untreated waste was traced back to a broken clay sewer line, installed in 1928, a block away.
Flowing down the concrete banks of Apache Creek and eventually reaching the San Antonio River, the stream of effluent had a bacteria count more than 20 times what is considered safe for swimming by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
The leak is indicative of one problem with SAWS' sewer system that has drawn the attention of the Environmental Protection Agency. Last year alone, SAWS reported more than 450 sewage spills. The EPA has threatened to sue under the Clean Water Act to force SAWS to repair and upgrade its system at a cost SAWS estimates would be $1 billion.
In addition to leaks like the one discovered Thursday, SAWS also has had several large sewage overflows recently. On Sunday, an estimated 448,800 gallons of sewage overflowed into the bed of Salado Creek near International Airport from a pipe clogged with debris. Crews worked until Thursday to clean that spill. In October, 4.4 million gallons of sewage spewed for three days into Espada Park when a main ruptured.
SAWS is trying to prove to the EPA it doesn't need a billion-dollar overhaul but instead is pursuing more aggressive and frequent pipe inspections and cleaning.
The San Antonio River Authority drew up a list of almost a dozen sites on the West Side creeks with continuously high bacteria counts it has asked SAWS to investigate. So far, that has resulted in the discovery of three leaking sewage pipes — including the one Thursday.
"Nobody would say our system is perfect and does not leak," SAWS spokeswoman Sarah Gatewood said.
SARA has set a the goal of making the San Antonio River and all of its tributaries clean enough for people swim in and is working with utilities like SAWS to eliminate pollution from leaking pipes.
"We see our job as encouraging them very strongly," said Suzanne Scott, SARA general manager. "It's is sort of a process of elimination."
Scott agrees with SAWS that leaks aren't the only cause of pollution in the river and creeks but for SARA to get to its goal, every source needs to be minimized.
By Friday, crews were finishing the repairs to the broken sewer line near the Brazos Street bridge.
But since the sewer system on the West Side is one of the oldest in the city, the challenge of making it leak free isn't easy.
"I am very encouraged by what SAWS is doing," Scott said. "We all have to work together and be committed and diligent."
If that happens, then the city has a shot at having water clean enough to swim in, Scott said. And to give tours of the West Side creeks that don't involve the stink of sewage.

Just out of interest I replotted Ganzle's data on the relative activity of lactobacillus sanfrancisco and the yeast candida milleri.
You will see the lactobacillus dominates when it is cold (fridge temperature) or warm (above 85F). The baker can adjust the ratio of bacillus to yeast, and hence the taste of the bread by fermenting for all or part of the time at these temperatures. I like my bread tangy, so I tend to ferment the preferment quite hot, and retard cold.
The temperature of the mother starter is kept at, since there is so little in the dough, is less important, except during the time it is being established.
However if you are making salt-raised bread the leavening agent, the bacteria Clostridium perfringens (see
) prefers it warmer: the temperature range 95F-105F. It may be that is what is responsible for the characteristic cheesy smell
Login or Signup to add your comment.
Dom that is what I was seeing a lot too in that book as well as in the Red Hen baguette formula I did, some of the French formulas I see use both liquid and firm starters, Eric Kayser is liquid user, and I think the strangest thing when baking different sourdough breads,Italian, French or German there are distinctive flavors in those specific bread types!
Some time back, after Jack posted the graph on egullet, I asked Dan for his opinion because I'm one of those people who can't retain science in their brain. He say:
In 1998 a thesis was accepted by Michael G. Gänzle, Michaela Ehmann, and Walter P. Hammes, at Universität Hohenheim, in Stuttgart, Germany, on growth of Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis and Candida milleri in sourdough fermentation. Subsequently, many bakers took that study to mean that L.sf and C.milleri were SF. sourdough, or even further, that all natural fermentations included L.sf and C. milleri. This just isn't true, and a misunderstanding of the precise nature of the original study. I've sent 5 samples of sourdough and naturally fermented leaven cultures for analysis and none have contained L.sf and C.milleri, and as these were consecutive tests I would question the papers initial statement that "in sourdoughs with a tradition of continuous propagation, Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis....[and] Candida milleri.....are the predominant microorganisms"
That doesn't mean that (a) they didn't produce great bread or, (b) weren't traditional cultures from continuous propagation. It's just that each mixture of flour and water will contain the selection of microflora that chance provides. You could, though, argue that "San Francisco Sourdough" should contain L.sf and C.milleri, though I doubt that every bakery in the SF bay area uses a culture that does. There are different types of lactic bacteria and yeast that are both suitable for dough production and comfortable in temperatures other than those described in Gänzle, Ehmann, and Hammes particular study.
I can't really comment further, though I am preparing an article with the help of the team at National Collection of Yeast Cultures (
), and will put it in the main section of the website next year.
On a more practical note, I have visited hundreds of bakeries around the world making great naturally fermented bread in varying conditions, on icy mountain tops in the Italian alps, or hot kitchens in Kuwait, and in most they simply used their room temperature "as is" and varied the method according to what produced the best result to their taste. The trick is to understand the environment you have at your disposal and to squeeze the best use and result out of it.
I am a great admirer of Jack's bread but it just isn't practical for me to carry out fermentation at the temperatures he advocates and anyway I'm producing reasonable bread at lower temperatures.
I prefer to go with the grain (excuse the pun) and make bread at ambient temperatures with ingredients that are readily available. A personal view ....
no I was thinking more about combining starters fermented at different consistencies.
For example a yeast-based baguette recipe that I was looking at in Maggie Glezer's Artisan baking uses one preferment made a little like your ultra-stiff starter (a pate fermentee - but with a little salt in it), and a second sponge preferment - both fermented for 12 hours using tiny amounts of yeast.
She talks about the more solid starter contributing to flavour, while the more liquid starter contributes to 'extensibility' of the dough (I am paraphrasing from memory as I don't have the book in front of me.)
Would there be any benefit in combining two sourdough starters made at different hydration and/or temperature?
I've not tried combining starters - my view is that after a comparatively short time in any environment, since you are feeding them with the local water and flour, and kitchens while clean are a long way from sterile, they become the same.
Similarly I'm doubtful about adding commercial yeast to sourdough breads, since they need rather different conditions to thrive. I think you get yeast bread flavoured with sourdough starter.
However I do think that most of the flavour comes from the preferment, rather than the dough step, so adjusting the conditions for that, and fermenting it out fully, since the gas production and dough structure is not relevant at that point, gives optimum flavour.
your posts always make me realise how much I don't know.
I have read about the balance between lactic and acetic acid production, and it seems as though cooler fermentation (as well as the firmer starter) promote acetic acid, and a more 'sour flavour'
Some artisan breads use a combination of different starters. The German Detmold technique (about which I know very little) falls into this category.
Have you tried combining starters proved at different temperatures, or different hydration?
All right, but let me correct something..I think you mean this guy, [url=http://www.afns.ualberta.ca/People/Index.asp?Page=Directory&id=1459]Dr.Michael Gänzle[/url], his new University has castraTED HIM!
Correct name you can find [url=http://www.chairs.gc.ca/web/chairholders/viewprofile_e.asp?ID=1834]here[/url]
Nevertheless, he studied at the same university as our member carla, in Hohenheim must be a source to become sourdough fanatics
perhaps this post is in wrong secton? Research?

The Blount County Board of Education has approved an $81 million budget that eliminates 84 positions, including an estimated 29 layoffs.
During Tuesday's meeting, the Budget Committee — composed of Director of Schools Rob Britt, fiscal administrator Troy Logan and board Chairman Mike Treadway — presented the budget proposal for fiscal year 2013-14. Treadway made a motion to approve the budget, and Trevis Gardner seconded it.
The recommended budget was slightly different from a budget presented June 27. The school board approved an $81.3 million budget in that earlier meeting, which the County Budget Committee declined July 8 to pass over to the full County Commission.
Since the earlier meeting, school officials have reduced the number of eliminated high school teacher positions. They added back a Heritage High School computer science teaching position and a William Blount High School auto mechanics teaching position, reducing the total number from seven positions to five.

Series History
NM State and GCU have never met in the 39-year program history.
Rother Picks Up WAC Hitter of the Week Nod
Rother, a junior from Long Beach, Calif., went a perfect 5-for-5 at the plate with two home runs, six walks and six RBI. She reached base in each of her 11 plate appearances and drew her first career intentional walk in the 17-2 win over Bakersfield on Saturday. She had a home run in each of Friday's doubleheader games. In Saturday's series finale, Rother tied the NM State and WAC record for walks in a single game with four. She posted a 2.200 slugging percentage and a 1.000 on-base percentage in her three games while making the start at right field.
College Sports Madness Recognizes Rother's Plate Appearances
Announced Tuesday, April 15, College Sports Madness named New Mexico State softball's Lacey Rother the Madness WAC Softball Player of the Week for her performance during the past week. She reached base in each of her 11 plate appearances with two home runs, six walks and six RBI, while going 5-for-5 at the plate.
Rodolph's Road to 300
In the midst of her 11th season as head coach for the New Mexico State softball team, Kathy Rodolph clinched her 300th career victory as the Aggies head coach in an 11-2 win over Incarnate Word on Saturday, Feb. 22. She entered the 2014 season with a record of 291-281 all-time at NM State.
Mission 500: Complete
Rodolph secured her 500th career win as a collegiate head coach. She reached 300 wins as the Aggies head coach just one week before reaching the milestone of 500. The win came in a 5-4 come-from-behind victory over UNLV at the Eller Media Stadium Classic on March 1.
Grand Slams
NM State has hit four game-winning grand slams in as many weeks during the 2014 season. Junior catcher Lacey Rother hit the first of the season against I-10 rival UTEP on Feb. 9, lifting NM State to an 8-6 win over the Miners. She then came back in the second game against Kansas City (4/4) to smash a four-RBI homer in the second inning, helping NM State to a 13-4 win in five innings. Junior centerfielder Staci Rodriguez hit a walk-off grand slam to pull off a 4-3 win over Northern Colorado on Feb. 15 and then came up with another in the 13-3 win over Binghamton on March 1.
The Aggies have had four walk-off wins this season. The most recent was in the final game of the WAC-opening weekend against Seattle U (3/29) when Brennalyn Nakamura hit a double to bring up Lacey Rother who hit a double to score Nakamura and end the game in a 10-2 win in six innings.
Another Aggie walk-off came in the 4-3 win over UT Arlington (3/9) when Rodriguez hit a two-run bomb to immediately end the game in the bottom of the seventh.
The first two of the season were in back-to-back games during the second week of the 2014 season. Rodriguez hit her first grand slam of the season to end the game with a 4-3 win over Northern Colorado. The other was in the 5-4 win over Iowa State with an RBI single to stop play.
Home Run Record Falls
In its 14-5 five-inning win over Seton Hall on Feb. 28, NM State hit a school record seven home runs. Fiana Finau and Staci Rodriguez hit a pair of home runs apiece, while Lacey Rother, Kelsey Dodd and Tatum Reedy added one homer each. It was the fourth time this season the Aggies had 10 or more RBI in a game.
Rother Ties Walks Record
In the Aggies 17-2 win over Bakersfield on April 12, junior Lacey Rother was walked four times in the game. She was walked three times in the first inning and once in the third to match former Aggie sluggers Hoku Nohara and Tiare Jennings' four-walk games in 2011. Rother's name is now stamped in the NM State and WAC record books.
Single Inning Record Goes Down
NM State broke the record of most runs in a single inning in the series finale against Bakersfield on April 12. The WAC and school record was broken in the last game of the series as the Aggies ran in 17 runs during the first inning. The 17 runs broke the previous 2010 record where 12 runs were scored against UT San Antonio. During the game, NM State only gave up two runs, while hitting a double, 10 singles and six walks.
WAC Hitter/Pitcher of the Week
The Aggies have claimed the six WAC Hitter of the Week honors this season along with two Pitcher of the week nod. Fiana Finau earned the hitting accolade, while Lacey Rother and Staci Rodriguez have each claimed the honor twice, while Celisha Walker picked up the pitching honor. Most recently (3/31) senior Alyssa Ruiz was the hitter of mention and Karysta Donisthorpe took the pitching honors.
(April 7-13) Rother went a perfect 5-for-5 at the plate with two home runs, six walks and six RBI. She reached base in each of her 11 plate appearances and drew her first career intentional walk in the 17-2 win over Bakersfield on Saturday. She had a home run in each of Friday's doubleheader games. In Saturday's series finale, Rother tied the NM State and WAC record for walks in a single game with four. She posted a 2.200 slugging percentage and a 1.000 on-base percentage in her three games while making the start at right field.
(March 24-30) Ruiz finished the week with a .667 batting average, an astounding 1.667 slugging percentage and a .667 on-base percentage as the Aggies went 4-0 on the week.

Preseason All-WAC
NM State was selected to finish first in the WAC, while junior Staci Rodriguez and sophomore Emma Adams named to the preseason All-WAC team.
NM State earned 25 points and five first-place votes with Seattle U receiving one vote and 19 points. Utah Valley received 14 points and was picked to finish third in the league, while Bakersfield had 13 points was picked one place behind the Wolverines. Rounding out the league was Kansas City with 10 points and Grand Canyon with nine.
Rodriguez and Adams were selected as part of the preseason All-WAC team, along with 10 other student-athletes from around the conference. Rodriguez was named first team All-WAC and WAC Player of the Year after a successful 2013 season where she finished with 20 home runs and 63 RBI. Adams, a second team All-WAC selection in 2013, was impressive in her freshman season, starting 48 games at third base and leading the team with 129 assists, while hitting .286 with nine doubles and 15 RBI.
Top Returner
Rodriguez earns the accolade after finishing the 2013 season with a WAC-leading 20 home runs and a .357 batting average.

Rodriguez led the Aggies and the league high with 63 RBI and a .780 slugging percentage.

Top Returning Pitcher
The Aggies have a solid returning pitching staff in senior Celisha Walker, redshirt sophomore Karysta Donisthorpe and sophomore Makayla McAdams. Walker pitched to a 4-2 record with two saves in her 83.2 innings at work. McAdams saw 64.1 innings in the circle and collected 23 strikeouts with just two home runs allowed. Donisthorpe pitched 39 innings before an ankle injury ended her season. She managed 47 K's in her 11 appearances and had 12 (career high) against San Diego (2/24).
NM State in 2013
NM State had an overall 37-20 record last season with an 18-7 league record. The Aggies finished second in the regular season behind San Jose State. NM State's season was highlighted by 11-straight wins, which was a best in program history. The 11th win came against No. 17 Arizona in a midweek game when the Aggies prevailed with a walk-off home run by freshman Emma Adams.
The Season also saw NM State come back from a 7-3 deficit in the bottom of the seventh against Seattle U with a walk-off home run for three RBI by senior Teresa Conrad.

needles and syringes previously used by others (see Chapter 6). Consequently, substantial uncertainty now exists among public health officials, laboratory scientists, community outreach workers, and injection drug users concerning the value of bleach disinfection as a public health intervention. Additional investigation into optimizing disinfection methods is clearly necessary.
The panel concludes:
Bleach, if used according to the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (see Chapter 6 for a detailed discussion of these recommendations), is likely to be an effective HIV prevention strategy for injection drug users who share needles and syringes.
Concerted efforts are essential to increase the awareness of injection drug users of the importance of disinfecting shared injection equipment and the importance of following the appropriate procedures.
Bleach use is clearly an intervention to be used when injection drug users have no safer alternatives.
Health research funding agencies (e.g., the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research) should support research directed toward identifying the simplest to use and most effective disinfection strategies, employing agents that are readily available to injection drug users.
In policy decisions about needle exchange and bleach distribution programs, the scientific evidence on whether the behaviors of injection drug users change and the rates at which new infections are reduced are but one dimension of an immensely complex issue. These AIDS prevention programs, in different environments, face various levels of community support, different levels of HIV prevalence1 in the local population of injection drug users, and operate within different legal environments. And so the scientific issues cannot be viewed in isolation but must be considered along with these other factors.
A range of views about needle exchange programs has been expressed by various groups, including racial and ethnic minority representatives, law enforcement officials, pharmacists, and drug treatment providers. Specific community concerns range from fears that such programs will worsen already severe drug abuse problems and elevate extant high levels of crime to concerns that such programs promote immoral activities. Although there is much variety among the views of different groups, all share the concern that

The Women's Armed Services Integration Act of 1948 authorized regular and reserve status for women in the military Services. Prior to the Act, women, with the exception of nurses, were not eligible to serve in the regular forces in peacetime. With the passage of the Act, women won an important battle in their fight for the opportunity to serve in the United States armed forces.
The dedication and perserverance of women such as Maj. Gen. Jeanne Holm, U.S. Air Force (Ret.), Col. Mary A. Hallaren, U.S. Army (Ret.), and Capt. Winifred Q. Collins, U.S. Navy (Ret.) helped implement the Act and ensure that American women contributed to national readiness. These women, along with NASA astronaut Lt. Cmdr. Lisa Nowak, U.S. Navy, will speak at the June 12 ceremony.
More than 500 people are expected to attend the event, including members of Congress, Service members, and veterans of military service. The event is open to the public. For further information, contact Lt. Col. Sandy Lewis, DACOWITS Public Affairs and Protocol Liaison Officer, at (703) 697-2122 or e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Actor: Saoirse Scott
Who played Jamie Vega over the years
Saoirse Scott (2005 - March 25, 2009)
Useful information on Jamie Vega
* Lives with her father Antonio.
Current: Being a kid
Little Jamie Vega is the apple of her father's eye. After losing her mother as a baby, Jamie was in a constant custody battle between Antonio and her grandfather RJ Gannon. In the end, Jamie was awarded to her father and the two men have since put their differences aside for the sake of Jamie's happiness.
Although we don't see Jamie much, the scariest part of her young life thus far had to have been getting trapped in RJ's apartment after Tess (portraying Jess) accidentally started the place on fire!
Always having looked to Jessica as a mom, Jamie was so happy when she married her dad but was let down again after they divorced over Jessica's love for Nash.
With her daddy's new girlfriend, Talia, in her life, Jamie enjoyed spending time with her family - especially visiting her grandmother Carlotta at the diner!
However, after Talia's murder, Antonio took Jamie away from Llanview.

There are no additional images yet
Gathered at the diner for a farewell party for Antonio, Antonio explains to Jamie that he's going to miss her like crazy, but she'll be in good hands with Talia, Cris and Carlotta. When Cris pulls him aside, Antonio tries to explain that he's going to put the issue with Carlo to rest - permanently. Just then, Tea arrives, wondering if she's invited to the obvious Vega party. Though Tea is informed that Antonio is leaving town, she appreciates his honesty when he says, "Saying goodbye to you wasn't high on my list." As Antonio and Cris rant at Tea for betraying them, Layla arrives and comforts a sad Talia.
Across the room, Talia notices Layla glaring at Cris, to which Layla explains why she suddenly hates Cris - because he hurt Sarah and about his visit to Evangeline. When Cris approaches, Talia scolds them both, as, back across the room, Tea apologizes to Antonio, says that she's done with Todd for good then promises to be there for him should he need her help. Tea holds her hand out for a shake, but Antonio pulls his old friend into an embrace. After Tea leaves, everyone toasts to and says goodbye to Antonio.
Over at the counter, Carlotta tells Antonio how she's getting used to the place - and how much thought Charlie put into building it. After Antonio leaves, Jamie and Carlotta get settled in to watch "Christina Comes Home For Christmas."

L-Style Mixing Head
Offers high-pressure impingement mixing and smooth laminar flow of polyurethane foams
Share |
The L-Style high-pressure mixing head is designed to provide smooth laminar flow and thoroughly mixed material for the most demanding flexible foam and open pour applications.
The L-head has a small horizontal impingement chamber that mixes material while a larger vertical exit chamber reduces flow velocity to minimize splashing in open pour applications.
- Laminar flow - low exit velocity reduces splatter in open mold or substrate
- Elastomer seals on mix piston eliminates need to "foam" in head to create seal; no crossover on startup
- Fixed or adjustable orifices
- Ideal for materials such as rigid or flexible urethanes
- Self-cleaning
- Flow rates: 4.6 to 234 lb/min (2 to 106 kg/min)
Carbide option available for applications requiring abrasive fillers
- Same as L-Style mixing head, but includes carbide inserts on mix piston and orifices for increased mixing head life
- Designed for filled rigid or flexible urethanes

A Johnson City pharmacist's license was suspended indefinitely by the Tennessee Department of Health because of a drug or alcohol addiction, according to a news release issued this week.
T. Patrick Rowan, who practiced at Boones Creek Pharmacy, signed an agreement to have his license suspended in May. That agreement was approved in July by officials from the health department and Board of Pharmacy for the state.
According to the agreement, Rowan admitted using alcohol or drugs and voluntarily entered a treatment center for chemical dependency.
There were no details about how the dependency was discovered or confirmation of Rowan working and dispensing medications while under the influence.
The agreement indicates Rowan's conduct violated state law because he was "addicted to the use of alcohol, narcotics or other drugs, exhibited an incapacity of a nature that prevents a pharmacist from engaging in the practice of pharmacy with reasonable skill, confidence and safety to the public; guilty of dishonorable, immoral, unethical or unprofessional conduct,"
Another medical professional in Johnson City was disciplined by the department as well.
Dr. Michael N. Dube, who practiced on Broyles Drive, had his license revoked for at least one year for "unprofessional, dishonorable or unethical conduct; making false statements or representations; being guilty of fraud or deceit in obtaining admission to practice or being guilty of fraud or deceit in the practice of medicine" and being guilty of a crime, according to a state report.
Dube's trouble began in 2007 when the Board of Medical Examiners determined he failed to properly document records for several patients. In addition to that, Dube prescribed medications for an employee who was also his fiancee.
In an agreed order signed in 2007, Dube's license was placed on probation and he was ordered to complete several conditions to be fully reinstated.
But in 2009 Dube's license was suspended after he relapsed and entered a drug treatment program. He then faced a 10-year probation on his license status.
In September, Dube pleaded guilty in federal court in Greeneville to failure to maintain records required by the controlled substance act and making a false statement to a federal agency.
The full reports on Rowan and Dube are available online at www.health.state.tn.us/licensure.

Given the curved arc length and central rise (distance from centre of chord to centre of arch), how is the radius caculated? thanks Sandy:(:(
The length of an arc of a circle is given by the formula
Character is who you are when no one is looking.
Havnt quite solved the problem yet. Following you logic to the next step I get:
B/(1-cosB) = (arc length x 90)/(pi x rise): B is 1/2 arc bisect angle in degrees & rise is your OM (l)
Now need help to solve for B
You get two equations with two variables, r and θ. The simultaneous equations can be solved and r and θ can be found.
The first equation is
The arc length is given in the problem.
The other equation is
(By Pythagoras theorem)
where l is the distance from centre of chord to centre of arch. This is given in the problem.
Character is who you are when no one is looking.
While we're on the subject, I derived a cool formula to find the radius of a circle when the length and height of the chord are found. Like so:
You simpy determine the intersection of the line y = r - h and x = L/2, substitue these values and rearranged. I was pleased to find the r^2 term is eliminated. And of course this formula can be rearanged to solve for either L or H if the two remaining values are known. I needed this to find the focal length of a spherical reflector I got, so I worked out this formula to solve it for me. Worked perfectly!
Ah the power of math...

TJCA survives Highland Tech
The game wasn't pretty, but it doesn't have to be in the postseason. Thomas Jefferson (16-6,11-2 SPC) gutted out a 50-41 win over Highland Tech to advance to the semi-finals of the Southern Piedmont Conference Tournament Wednesday night at Cool Springs.
TJCA will face the Community School of Davidson/ Bessemer City winner today in Cherryville.
"I'll take it," said a relieved TJCA head coach Ken Hines Sr. "This time of year it's not about style points. It's all about getting the win by any means necessary. We have to do it again tomorrow."
TJCA grabbed an early 7-5 lead on a deep 3 by Truth Freeland but Thomas Nieminen answered with a 3 of his own before Freeland canned another three. The teams continued to trade baskets until the end of the quarter with the Gryphons leading 15-12.
The Gryphons opened the second quarter by crashing the boards. Efrim Borders and Chris Mintz garnered putbacks to increase the lead to 19-12. Highland Tech responded by taking the air out of the ball in their motion offense.
Nieminen hit a midrange jumper to cut the lead to 20-19 before TJCA came out of their zone and began to press. That resulted in an 8-1 run just before the half, highlighted by a Jaylon Simmons 3 to give the home team a 28-20 lead at the break.
"There offense really didn't bother us," Hines said."We just played poor man-to-man defense. That's why we went to a zone."
TJCA picked up three personal fouls less than a minute to start the third quarter. Dominque Dee hit a 3 for the Rams in another low-scoring frame.
Mason Fenner hit a layup and Freeland hit a 3, but Highland Tech would not go away. Josh Crawford grabbed a steal and a layup at the quarter with the Rams within striking distance, 34-29.
The fourth quarter was a back-and-forth affair. Bronson Short pulled the Rams to within 34-31. The teams traded baskets for much of the rest of the quarter, but Simmons hit a fall-away jumper and Borders drove to the basket for a score. Nick Mintz then iced the game from the foul line as the Gryphons survived 50-41.
Nick Mintz led TJCA with 15 points while Nieminen had 12 for Highland Tech.
