I am interested in knowing the most popular hand gun caliber. Can anyone help with a link, survey or an opinion?

38 Special. Just an opinion.
November 8, 2012, 06:58 PM
.22 lr
November 8, 2012, 07:10 PM
No link but the term "popular" can be defined many ways.
I'd say .22 then 9mm.
November 8, 2012, 07:13 PM
I've seen quite a few of the most popular lists... but I've not seen any that identify one caliber over another by round count, so until a documented list comes along, I'll take an educated guess, just like everyone else. :D
Worldwide civilian sales, centerfire... 9mm. In the US, I think .38 Spcl/.357Mag might have a slight edge over 9mm... if you count reloading supplies in popularity factoring. If you count all uses, including military, then we're easily back to 9mm.
ColtPythonElite has it right if you don't discriminate against rim fire... but a lot of that is used in rifles.
November 8, 2012, 07:16 PM
See above.
November 8, 2012, 07:35 PM
.22lr, .380, 9mm, 38spl/357mag, 40, 44mag, 45acp are all popular cartridges. Based on volume shot I would give the nod to .22lr. You rally can't say which is more popular because everyone has their favorites and people tend to shoot their favorites more.
And my listing of .380 is based on range pickups. I picked up more .380 this summer than any other cartridge. I'm still trying to figure out why.

What Creeper said.
November 8, 2012, 07:53 PM
Gotta be 50 AE, for certain.
November 8, 2012, 08:05 PM
Gotta be 50 AE, for certain.
Just barely edging out the Webley-Vickers .441 Matchmaster TT... Improved. :p
November 8, 2012, 08:12 PM
BArely ? Pfft.
At least 5 more people have to own a 50 AE weapon, and use it regularly.
In all honesty, this is an impossible question to answer, and depends a lot on what your definition of "is" is.
Its ripe for trollololoing though :D
November 8, 2012, 08:25 PM
9mm 38/357 500S&W haha
November 8, 2012, 08:27 PM
Id guess 40 cal and 9mm.
November 8, 2012, 08:31 PM
Worldwide? 9mm is easily the most popular centerfire cartridge. ;)
November 8, 2012, 08:49 PM
Used ? Maybe.
Popular ? Hmmm.....
I think the most popular is still the 50 AE.
Everyone wants a handgun round that can split battletanks in half, immediately engulf cars in shooting flames, and level buildings with a single "clip".
Thats got to be the most popular.
November 8, 2012, 09:07 PM
Most popular for use: 22lr and (maybe) 9mm. But since this is a reloading section I'll guess 38 special/357 mag. While the 9mm can be reloaded, the bulk price might make reloading not so economical.
How's that for a stab in the dark? :rolleyes:
November 8, 2012, 10:05 PM
.22 lr
As to worldwide civilian use, the 9mm isn't even close as most countries do not allow civilians to own handguns, and those that do have many that do not allow civilians to use military cartridges - which is why you see a lot of 9x21 ad 9x23 in civilian usage
November 8, 2012, 10:06 PM
Actually the answer is really easy to find. Which hand gun do you shoot the most? That would be your most popular handgun caliber. See how easy it was to find that out.:D
For the world I would say .22 LR and then 38 SPL. 9MM is third.
November 8, 2012, 10:31 PM
I've heard that this cartridge is exceptionally popular in south america.
November 9, 2012, 12:44 AM
As to worldwide civilian use, the 9mm isn't even close as most countries do not allow civilians to own handguns, and those that do have many that do not allow civilians to use military cartridges - which is why you see a lot of 9x21 ad 9x23 in civilian usage
He didn't limit his question to civilian use so if you include military use it isn't even close. The countries that don't allow civilian use of military cartridges is probably not as great as you think, either. Italy and Mexico come to mind, maybe you can list the others. Considering US civilians and those in Europe, the 9mm is the most popular centerfire handgun cartridge in use today with the .38 Special maybe 2nd. Especially if you consider the trends of the last 25 years or so. ;)
November 9, 2012, 01:46 AM
Based on the empties I see on the floor at the range, I'd say 9mm and .45ACP. While I shoot loads of .22lr and .38spl, I think I'm in the minority lately.
I do see loads of .22lr being shot from rifles tough, and I mean loads!
Hondo 60
November 9, 2012, 01:51 AM
22lr, 9mm & 38 Special.
Of course that's just a wild butt guess.
November 9, 2012, 01:54 AM
Anyone else think a Poll would have been a good idea for this thread?
I think the 22LR is the most popular and will be for some time to come.
It's my favorite followed by the 38/357.
November 9, 2012, 01:57 AM
most popular hand gun caliber
9mm (9 X 19) centerfire worldwide: military, LEOs, civilians
.22LR rimfire worldwide

IMPORTANT features linked to the area's salt landscape are to be conserved and restored as part of a project which has won a major lottery boost.
Groundwork Cheshire, based in Northwich, on behalf of the Saltscape Partnership, has received an £886,500 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund for the Saltscape Project.
Over the next three years the project aims to conserve and restore important features connected to the area's landscape.
Saltscape also plans to increase awareness and appreciation of the qualities of the area, promote new opportunities for people to access, enjoy and learn about the area's salt heritage and develop training programmes for the community to develop their heritage skills.
The geology of this part of Cheshire resulted in large salt deposits in the area, which have been used since Roman times.
"This project aims to protect, restore, enhance and manage this special area as one environment, to rebuild local people's relationship with their land, heritage and history and strive to make the area a better place to work, live and visit," said Saltscape Partnership chairman Dave Blackburn.
"Using the knowledge and vision of a wide range of local people and organisations, the partnership has developed projects which will bring to life this fascinating story and help to conserve and improve access to many of the features in the area.
Promoted stories
"We are extremely pleased that the Heritage Lottery Fund shares our enthusiasm, and is supporting us with this generous grant."
There will be many opportunities to get involved in and find out more about the salt landscape in and around Northwich, Winsford, Frodsham and Middlewich through conservation work, environment visits and sessions for children and adults, history, archaeology and geology projects, recording and social media projects and the restoring of local features such as the Anderton Boat Lift gate lodges, the swing bridge at Vale Royal Locks and pathways throughout the area.
The provision of training courses will be key to the success of the project, and partner organisations will be providing opportunities for trainees looking for a career in the heritage and conservation fields to learn new skills.

Lottery cash to help protect salt heritage
It's so nice to see that the money from the lottery is not being wasted on unnecessary conservation projects.
I'm sure that the people that I observe queuing up to spend their hard earned benefit money on lottery tickets will be delighted to see it being spent so wisely.

Muffin Man
I pray that my name is never found
Shadowed under this brooding ground,
In tempest of lost sight and sound,
What the ignorant share;
In this oblivion, I see the world break,
The oceans dry, and the mountains quake,
Dark tremors that beget dead awake,
To see the ominous flare.
Now as the tide comes never trodden,
Carrying souls dreams and forgotten,
Through a coppice of bone-trees rotten,
I feel all that there is to see;
Where the dead were once dreaming,
Where the living once stood screaming,
All in my ears there madness is beating
As I am carried to sea.
Witness now my madness dreaming,
Of worlds apart, so beautiful seeming,
The endless rhyme with children singing,
As we know that children can;
You will know my legend after the rain,
Hath exposed the world that I stain,
With sweetness the innocent exclaim,
Do you know the muffin man?

Nelson and Winnie
Nelson Mandela divorced Winnie Madikizela-Mandela in 1996, ending a powerful political partnership that had lasted through decades of struggle. As he remained behind bars, she became an activist leader in her own right, leading marches with a fist raised and building a base among the radical wing of the African National Congress. Madikizela-Mandela lost influence as Mandela pushed the ANC along a moderate course.
They had grown apart politically by the time he emerged from prison, and soon the personal toll of the years of physical separation became apparent. But after Mandela retired from public life and focused on the family that had been relegated to second place during his struggle against apartheid, the mother of two of his daughters was welcome alongside his third wife at Christmases and birthdays.

Press Release |
Another Award for Xmo Strata
* Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release.
MARDEN, England--(Business Wire)-- Xmo Strata, the sign installation and maintenance company which is revolutionising its industry's approach to health and safety, has won an 'exceptional performance' award from the BP/Bovis Global Alliance. Six year old Xmo Strata's bulging display cabinet now holds 11 customer health and safety awards - believed to be a record in the high-risk sign industry; the latest comes within weeks of the firm winning a similar award from ABB / Coteba / ExxonMobil, and receiving an achievement award from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. Martin Rackley, the UK Health, Safety, Security and Environment Manager for the Global Alliance, handed over the award at a ceremony at the Holiday Inn, Milton Keynes, on the evening of April 26 - and joked that the Kent-based firm had now won it so many times that "if it had been the World Cup, they'd be allowed to keep it". Sign installers and maintenance engineers work at height, and in hazardous locations such as busy motorway fuel forecourts, and the company has made strict adherence to health and safety a key aspect of its operations. The firm - which works nationwide - employs the most highly trained sign crews in the UK. "Working unsafely puts the employee in peril - and the employer, as well as the owner of the site on which the work is being done, at risk of legal prosecution," said Xmo Strata Managing Director Steve Martin. "Customers sometimes think that they are protected from the consequences of unsafe working and that it is all the responsibility of the contractor - in fact, they risk potential jail sentences in the event of serious injury. The sign industry is particularly high risk and we protect our employees, ourselves, and our customers by investing properly in comprehensive training and procedures, and ensuring that every employee fully understands the company's dedication to the subject." Mr Martin is the author of a whistle-blowing book on the sign industry - Safety Quality Tricks and Lies - dirty tricks in the British sign industry and 100 questions your sign company doesn't want you to ask! Notes to editor: Xmo Strata is one of the leading sign installation and maintenance firms in the UK, built on an aspiration to provide the most highly qualified sign engineers in the UK, adhering uncompromisingly to health and safety regulations and best practice. The company focus is to provide a truly nationwide specialist service, ensure a safe working environment for all, offer a trusted, market leading service whilst delivering value to customers at all times. Xmo Strata specialises in large national roll-outs and offers complete project management. The company offers a truly nationwide service, with crews based throughout the UK, with a specialist service including re-branding and maintenance of signage on petrol forecourts, retail parks, high street stores and shopping malls nationwide.

It looks and feels cheap and it much smaller than it appears in the pictures. I did not send it back but I am still on the hunt for luxurious looking silverware fit for a nice buffet.

How do kids in public schools spend their two million minutes from K-12? Are they getting a good education? Is our public school system broken? Worse, was it just not that good in the first place? Some contend it is delivering on the original intention--childcare, rather than education: so parents could go to work and do whatever else they had to do.
A recent "Meet the Press" TV show poll shows 77% of Americans give our public school a grade of 'C' or lower. The top 5% of our kids rank only 23rd amongst 29 countries in achievement. Other polls and trends are equally dismal. There are exceptions and bright spots, but they are few. Michelle Ree, the chancellor of the Washington D.C. appears to be making headway by making the hard choices of closing schools and firing poor performing teachers. The Teach for America Program appears to be a resounding success.
Our country no longer has the economic advantages we had coming out of World War II. We are no longer the manufacturing, servicing, technology and innovation economy of generations ago. In many ways we still believe we can dictate terms to the rest of the world as we did as the economic super power of yester year. Have young people gotten the memo they will not have all the same advantages their parents had in what is certain to be a very different economic reality?
Many Americans believe we have title to free education, medical treatment, social security and a luxury filled lifestyle by birthright. Working hard and smart to ensure the lifestyle we choose to live does not seem all that necessary. Have we gone soft as a nation?
Kids in school today's digital world are constantly bombarded with texts, cellular calls, emails, videos, DVD's, and all of what the Internet has to offer 24/7. They end up spending their two million minutes differently than their parents did from the analog generation. My generation was able to sit down, read a book, do homework, relatively free from distractions. Does the digital age make it easier for kids to get information and learn, or are they more easily distracted? Why is America increasingly falling further behind other countries?
The United States spends $650 billion per year on K-12 education. Are we getting the bang for our billions? What's missing? What are our kids not getting?
After consulting with teachers inside the public school system, it seems there a number of issues holding us back from making progress in better educating children.
First, there are few national standards describing what a child should know and by when. Perhaps having minimum standards is a better way to go than creating high national standards not achievable or recognized by each state. How about a national conversation with academic experts describing what the standards should be and how best to implement them. For it to work, this process would have to be an 'open source' process as opposed to a closed one. We need to close the achievement gap in this country between the 'have and have not's.' If important skill sets can be identified and thereafter improved, the kids in the better school districts will not be the only ones to benefit.
Do we need to set a national goal for education? President Kennedy's space race in the 1960's proved very successful. The goal to be the first country to send a man to the moon proved instrumental in motivating this country to focus on K-12 education on the math and the sciences. The plan was to create the better t educated kids who could contribute to the sciences and specifically the space program.
Teachers tell me kids often receive higher grades than they deserve. Students are being evaluated for attendance, participation, and other behavioral factors that are separate from their content knowledge of the subject matter. It seems many kids find a grade of 'C' and 'B' totally acceptable and are not motivated to achieve higher grades. Our kids are clearly not as motivated as kids from poorer countries who strive to work hard so they can lift themselves, or even their families out of poverty. Our kids aren't worried about living in poverty, they fully expect the American dream will be delivered to them by virtue of being born American.
Most states no longer hold kids back if they are failing grades K-8. Students are still advanced to the next grade level. The child's self-esteem is deemed too important to be put at risk by the requirement to repeat a grade. Do we need consistent standards for graduation to ensure kids learn what is necessary before advancing to the next level?
What about the teacher's union, the NEA (National Education Association)? The union helps teachers when it comes to collective bargaining and protects them when it comes to the prospect of a lawsuit. Does it help or hinder the performance of teachers as a whole? It is very hard to fire poor performing teachers in this country. Poor teachers directly affect the quality of the educational experience. If they cannot be fired for poor performance, what incentive does the lazy teacher have to upgrade his or her skill set? None. Is merit pay for top performing teachers the answer? If so, where do the extra dollars to make the payments come from?
I'm clearly raising more questions than providing answers. I want to salute those friends of mine, including William Walker in Portland, Oregon, who are doing their part to be part of the solution by leaving higher paying jobs in the private sector, getting the education and training necessary to become first rate teachers in public schools.
It's encouraging to find people excited about confronting the inherent problems of the system directly. Walker talks about a potential 16-K system (not the traditional K-12). He advocates for professionals and universities to begin a dialogue about reverse engineering the existing system by figuring out the end point and working backward. This may avoid the abandonment often occurring around middle school with the existing systems that are bottom up.
Walker points to another problem with our current system: the primary focus on college readiness. Since attending college is not the best outcome for all students, what is the alternative? STEM (which focuses on defining skills for success in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) is an emerging concept and one Walker recently successfully wrote a grant to further study. The idea is to allow students to build skills in a myriad of settings that will allow them to be academically successful whilst acknowledging that college is not the singular endpoint. Walker can be reached at: email@example.com.
It is clear we cannot simply accept the status quo and allow our schools and kids to sink in the process.
We need dialogue, debate and decisions before we slide further behind. I'm encouraged to know there are those who are actively working to bring about change. Let's find a way to help them achieve it.

People urged to stay safe around water
Helen Morton, Senior Reporter / / News
AS the temperature rises, and the school holidays loom, the local ambulance service is urging people to stay safe around water.
South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust is advising that people take extra care around water, both at home and in public places.
Tony Heselton, paramedic and SCAS safeguarding lead, said: "It is vitally important that people heed this advice and only attempt to swim in safe areas where there are the appropriate safety precautions should you get into difficulty."

Fountain Valley High School junior Tue Duong was bullied as a child. He says people loved to put him down in elementary and middle school because he was overweight, had speech problems and was very quiet. The 16-year-old found his voice in high school, and another way to express himself – photography. The Fountain Valley View caught up with Duong to find out about all about him.
Q: So, you're no longer bullied?
A: I decided to disassociate myself with the people I hung around with in middle school that were also making fun of me. I'm so glad I didn't run out of faith in myself and that I could still amount to something. I found photography. My family, friends and teachers always commend me for being able to find myself early, and I consider that the biggest pivot in the course of my life. With photography, people really became appreciative and caring toward me, something that would have never happened if I hadn't pursued my passion.
Q: What kind of pictures do you take?
A: I'm a freelance photographer for the Baron Banner, which is the school's newspaper and journalism class. I am also the yearbook's photography editor this year, and I'm going to be a producer for the Baron Broadcast News. It's a video production class that produces bi-monthly newscasts at school.
Q: How many photos have you taken for the yearbook?
A: I didn't keep count of the number of photographs I've taken. I just know that 90 percent of the yearbook pages have at least one of my photographs on them. I didn't realize how prolific I was while working on the yearbook. I just told myself to keep going and never look back until the very end when I could retire and look at everything in retrospect. I came into yearbook thinking that it would be ages until it would be done because there were so many photos to take. Yearbook quickly carved out a big portion of my time as I was always needed to do many extra photo shoots and spotlights to compensate for a lack of photographers this year. I was quickly gaining a reputation of going to every single event at Fountain Valley High School, and I stayed true to that.
Q: What else keeps you occupied?
A: You could say that photography is pretty much my life, because I can't think of anything that occupies my time but photographing sports games, school events and spectacular people. Making short clips for the BBN is also a fun way to keep me busy and express myself. I really put an emphasis on my two AP classes. I also have an internship with Fountain Valley Living magazine. I've received invaluable real world experience working for a magazine, and I've made useful and enjoyable relationships with many people in the community.
Q: Are you going to hold your breath when students get their yearbooks?
A: I can't wait to see people carrying yearbooks around and looking amazed at the pictures, because I'll feel like I've moved people in a profound way. Seeing everybody's reaction to photographs, whether they're laughing or crying, is every photographer's anticipation, and it's certainly mine. I've always been driven by a desire to draw my mark on Fountain Valley High School somehow. I didn't know how to do it at first, but when I was introduced to photography, I was convinced that it was possible for me to become a person everyone can look up to.

Thursday July 16th, 2015, 4pm Rally, 5pm Action
Monroe St. & San Pablo Ave., Albany, CA
On July 16th, 2015, farmers and neighbors of the historic Gill Tract will gather to hold a rally and take action to protect the historic Gill Tract Farm from looming development by UC Berkeley to build a Sprouts Supermarket, and to highlight the public health impacts of the development.
For 3 years, the commercial development project that is slated to pave the southern 7 acres of the historic Gill Tract Farm has been held off by a lawsuit. On June 16th, the courts ruled in favor of the UC, citing that their polluting, privatizing, pavement project breaks no state laws, clearing the way for the planned development to begin.
Protesters will hold a rally at the corner of Monroe Street and San Pablo Avenue at 4pm, next to the 7 acres in question. They will begin with a series of speaker addressing the many issues at hand.
Promptly at 5pm, protesters will begin their planned direct action, using creativity and art as some of the tactics.

I voted down Kotaku as well. Such a crappy website indeed with sour flavor of unwanted sensationalism all over the website. #1.1 (Edited 1147d ago ) | Agree(8) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply laurenjensen6 1147d ago | Spam DOMination- + 1146d ago My personal gripes with borderline is that its too much shootery - i know its a shooter but some areas are filled with so many enemies it Can get a bit tedious. Especially an area you cleared out before And my other is the difficulty can appear somewhat.. Schizophrenic at times..? You'll level up and things will be really easy then halfway through that level suddenly enemies will out of the blue get really tough. Obviously they level with you but sometimes the system is a bit off. Its still a great game though. #1.2 Agree(2) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Old McGroin + 1146d ago "My personal gripes with borderline is that its too much shootery" @ DOMination- Yes, Borderline does seem to have some issues. Might I suggest you try Borderlands 2 instead? I would definitely recommend it as a superior shooter to Borderline. Oh, you seem to dislike "too much shootery", so may I also suggest you don't buy a First Person Shooter game as they tend to contain a lot of shootery parts? :) P.S. I know it was obviously a type-o Dom, just playin' with ya :) #1.2.1 (Edited 1146d ago ) | Agree(3) | Disagree(0) | Report Baylex + 1146d ago LOL you should check what borderline is on google.

CoD's AI is literally some of the, if not, THE worst AI this gen. They're like shooting at paper targets. They are literally so scripted that if you run just an inch passed their spawn point, they'll completely ignore you and run off to wherever the game set them to run to, EVEN if you were to physically collide with them in the process. Either you are straight up trolling us, or you have absolutely no idea what "AI" means. In case you don't (which I'm assuming is the case) , AI stands for "Artificial Intelligence". #3.8 (Edited 1147d ago ) | Agree(2) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply animegamingnerd + 1147d ago meth is one hell of a drug #3.9 Agree(2) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply DarthJay + 1147d ago Sounds like a personal problem. Sounds like he's looking for something to complain about. The game is what it is. If you're looking for it to be something else, go play something else. I look at the enemies you go up against in this game and they aren't exactly Mensa candidates. So no, I don't expect them to be very tactical. Gearbox definitely made the AI smarter than it was in the first game, but yeah, it's definitely a game where you shoot stuff. It almost seems like that surprises the writer. Oh well. #4 Agree(8) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply Tetsujin + 1147d ago Oh look, once again its Kotaku complaining about something, and one less hit from me for their site as well. #5 Agree(9) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply MrDead + 1147d ago If they made the AI smarter then you would lose the arcade style gameplay, the action is fun, fast and chaotic I would hate for them to mess it up as the balance for this sort of FPS to me is perfect. Some games benefit from cleaver AI and some games don't, if you want a bad guy with smarts just play a different game. I think Borderlands is fine the way it is. #6 Agree(5) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Rupee + 1147d ago Exactly I'm not looking for a gritty, realistic shooter. That's the difference between borderlands and shooters like halo, battlefield 3, etc. #6.1 Agree(4) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply NeXXXuS + 1147d ago Halo 4 plays really well though.

He didn't trash the game to complete bits, he just said he personally doesn't enjoy it that much. He didn't go telling everyone "er mah gerd dis gaem sux", he just told his opinion like he's supposed to. I don't know what's your beef with Kotaku as I rarely read any of their articles but this guy isn't the worst at all. #7.1 Agree(1) | Disagree(4) | Report | Reply ApolloTheBoss + 1147d ago I know he stating his opinion, but most of Kotaku's articles are just plain irrelevant BS. That's my beef with them, nothing personal. #7.1.1 Agree(3) | Disagree(1) | Report Captain Tuttle + 1147d ago If you don't like Borderlands you have a cold, black heart :) #8 Agree(2) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply Fixlarz + 1147d ago I think he's absolutely right. I loved the original game and I do like BL2 but it is missing that same feel. BL1 was not at all a perfect game but it was something new and exciting, a FPS-RPG hybrid. BL2 improves on many levels over 1 but it's missing that brand new feel, it only feels like an improved version of BL1. It could be that I'm not as attracted to BL2 because I've kept playing BL1 now and then over the years and I played Diablo 3 a bunch this summer but I still do think he has a point. BL2 is a very good game but just not to me and I truly wish BL3 (if there will be one) will improve on the things mentioned in the article. PS. I don't regret buying the ultimate loot chest edition one bit, I still am a huge Borderlands fan. :] #9 Agree(3) | Disagree(2) | Report | Reply slkdfwiegjwoie 1147d ago | Spam Redgehammer + 1147d ago I think the problem lies in thinking enemies that are multi-generational products of incest, and eat human flesh, are going to be smart. #11 Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report | Reply mastershredder + 1147d ago After Boarderlands 1, I was good.

What? You don't play shooters for the story? Well I do. What is the point otherwise? If I simply wanna shoot stuff I could play any old game.

Swedish Vote a Bellwether as Europe Moves Right; Immigration, Budget Crises Cited for Trend
Byline: Benjamin Birnbaum, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
In the popular imagination, Sweden is the apotheosis of socialist Europe - a country with high taxes, a lavish welfare state, a robust labor movement and a history of welcoming immigrants from around the world.
So to a time traveler from a decade ago, the country's Sunday election results would have been surprising: A center-right government was re-elected for the first time, the long-dominant Social Democrats turned in their worst showing ever, and a far-right, anti-immigrant party with neo-Nazi roots - the Sweden Democrats - doubled its 2006 vote and gained its first parliamentary foothold in the Riksdag.
To an extent, Sweden's elections affirmed twin political trends that have spread throughout Europe in recent years: Fiscally conservative center-right parties have gained ground on social-democratic parties owing to budget crises that were exacerbated by the global economic downturn.
Meanwhile, far-right parties have made inroads by exploiting native voters' anxieties over growing populations of poorly integrated non-European immigrants, particularly those from Muslim countries.
In June, Dutch voters gave a plurality to the free-market Liberal Party, while Geert Wilders' anti-Islam Party for Freedom edged out the governing center-right Christian Democrats for third place.
A month earlier, after 13 years in opposition, Britain's Tories gained power while Labor turned in its worst showing since 1977.
And in last year's elections for the European Union's Parliament, held across the bloc's 27 member nations, the right consistently outperformed the left.
At the moment, right-of-center parties reign supreme in the Continent's four most populous countries - Germany, France, Britain and Italy - and in smaller countries throughout Western and Eastern Europe that traditionally have tilted left.
If you look across Europe, the political center of gravity has clearly moved to the right, said Charles Kupchan, senior fellow for Europe Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. There were deep and broad structural problems on the economy that Europeans had to tackle, and the British began to tackle them under [Prime Minister Margaret] Thatcher. And then the Labor Party moved to the center and continued to tackle them. Now, that process of undoing large state-centered economies is moving to the Continent.
One could have easily imagined that the global economic downturn would have fueled the left, Mr. Kupchan added. You could have seen labor unions digging in their heels, protectionist voices emerging. That hasn't happened because parties and electorates realize that in the global marketplace, that reaction would be a disaster.
The left parties have also moved to the right, following in the footsteps of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown's New Labor in Britain, he said. …

Sources of Tested Content:
Inquiries on Teaching and
The method of science, as stodgy and grumpy as it may seem, is far
more important than the findings of science.
Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World, p. 22
It is probably clear by now that we strongly favor creating the content of staff development from the available research on curriculum and instruction. In this chapter we will deal with some sources of content in which we have considerable confidence. We will treat the topic as an inquiry, concluding with some lingering questions and areas needing investigation.
Abraham Kaplan (1964) began his treatise on the conduct of inquiry in the social sciences by recounting the old story of a man who, returning home one night, found a somewhat inebriated neighbor crawling around under a street lamp. When asked what he was looking for, the neighbor responded, "For my house key. I dropped it." After some minutes of crawling around with his acquaintance without finding the key, our Good Samaritan thought to ask, "Where did you drop it?"
The neighbor replied, pointing down a dark alley, "Down there."
"Then why are we looking here?"
"Because there's light here, that's why."
Kaplan used his anecdote to characterize behavioral and social science research, maintaining gently that we need to look where we know how to look—in areas where we have a little light. The eventual critical questions may lie down the way in the avenues that are still dark to us. Still, we have to look where we can, lighting the candles in the dark.
Kaplan's analogy surely applies to research on teaching. For thousands of years philosophers, social scientists, and nearly all parents and teachers have conducted inquiries under their own lampposts,

|Watch Band With Reinforced Construction - A band with a reinforced construction. The band has an attachment portion that defines a connector bar passage, a reinforcement pin passage and a reinforcement plate recess intersecting both the connector bar passage and the reinforcement pin passage. The band also has a reinforcement plate and a reinforcement pin. The reinforcement plate defines a connector bar aperture and a reinforcement pin aperture, and is positioned within the reinforcement plate recess such that the connector bar aperture intersects the connector bar passage and the reinforcement pin aperture intersects the reinforcement pin passage. Typically, the reinforcement plate is formed from a resilient material, such as metal or hard plastic. The reinforcement pin is positioned within the reinforcement pin passage such that the reinforcement pin extends through the reinforcement pin aperture of the reinforcement plate. The reinforcement plate thus reinforces the wall of material between the connector bar passage and the end of the attachment portion, and is securely held in place by the reinforcement pin.

ruthhill74Yelm, WAAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Fantastic Historical RomanceDecember 24, 2013ruthhill74Yelm, WAAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5What could be better? Reading a book that takes place aboard the Titanic with a wonderful Christian message. And a little romance on the side! This is my kind of book, and I absolutely loved it! I have been fascinated with the Titanic for most of my life, and in light of the anniversary celebrated concerning this disaster just this year, this book could not be better-timed. There were times I was so drawn into this book that I forgot where I was (which isn't good when you have a room full of students).
I was touched by the pathos of the story and the inspiration of the characters. Tessa was absolutely captivating, and Jaquie certainly needed a "come-to-Jesus" meeting throughout most of the book. I don't think she always lived in reality. I loved seeing each character develop and be changed by the Lord, and there were even some things I hadn't considered about the sinking of this famous ship. I really don't want to give it away, so I won't say any more about that.
The Christian message was woven into this story in expert fashion. I can only hope that this author will choose to write a sequel because I would absolutely love to see what the characters did next. Although the book has an obvious conclusion, there were still a few loose ends to tie up. I am happy to report that profanity and sex scenes did not exist within this book, so it is a clean romance. And the Christian message was appropriate and not overdone.
So if you just can't get enough of the Titanic, this is the book for you!
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.

Well written. Loved the story line. Even the hard part of the ship sinking and people drowning was beautifully done. My great grandpa, a carpenter, did the fancy wood work on the Titanic. I didn't want the book to end. I love reading Janice Thompson's books. Makes me laugh and cry.
CrystalAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5From Tragedy To Triumph!January 12, 2013CrystalAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5High Society bred Jacqueline is tired of living a life build around her parents decisions. When her father insists upon an arranged business marriage with young Roland, she has other plans to elope with Peter the family gardener. Peter's younger sister, Tessa is living far from luxury, living as a servant girl, under the cruel watch of her Father, and fearful Mother. Tessa longs for beauty, love, and a better life. Her prayers seem to be answered when Jacquie and Peter come to her with a proposition to board the dream liner, Titanic to start a fresh life in America, and take the false identity of the wealthy Jacqueline's place instead, Tessa is tempted, and against her better judgement agrees to the ruse. Aboard, Tessa tries to act the part of a lady, but secretly terrified and alone amidst such new circumstances. But God knows the innocence of her heart and sends her a saving grace in Nathan. A perfect blend of romance, suspense, secrets, deceit, forgiveness, and above all the Saving Mercy of our own Christ Jesus, makes 'Queen of the Waves' a most unique novel! Captivating as the mighty Titanic herself. You'll be swept away to the very last page, praying against all odds that these precious character's souls will survive! The message of hope and a redeeming Father God will forever stand out in your memory!
FayeAge: 18-24Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Well wroughtNovember 20, 2012FayeAge: 18-24Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5In my opinion, one of Janice Thompson's best!
I've always had a sort of love/hate relationship with Titanic books, but Queen of the Waves is definitely one that I love!
The plot was well put together and I thought that the characters were especially well-crafted, and likable from the start. There were things that Tessa struggled with, and it was easy to see why she had the reaction that she did because of the way she had been brought up, and I just really loved watching this story play out.
This book was easy to follow, and very engaging, I found that the pages went by faster than I realized and it was very easy to become absorbed into its pages.
Overall I enjoyed this well written tale from cover to cover, and I found the story very compelling, yet not too overdone. A book that I would happily recommend!
I received this book from the publisher through Litfuse in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!

Car insurance is required by law in Canada and all drivers must have third party liability insurance. The minimum amount of liability insurance in the country is $200,000, except in Quebec where it is $50,000.
Additionally, every province and territory in Canada (except Newfoundland and Labrador) requires drivers to have insurance coverage for their own medical expenses and any loss of income which may be incurred as a result of driving related injuries.
In provinces and territories across Canada except British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, car insurance is provided by private companies. In BC, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, it is provided by government-run insurance companies (for the statutory insurance coverage) and private and government insurance companies (for additional insurance requirements).
In Quebec, a government-run system administers claims relating to personal injury or death for Quebec residents, while private car insurance companies deal with damage to property.
Regulation regarding car insurance is set by provincial laws, government agencies and some federal laws. Provincial car insurance rates and regulations are regularly reviewed by provincial boards and federal and provincial regulators.
The General Insurance OmbudService (GIO) is an independent federal dispute resolution service.
All imported cars must meet strict safety standards, comply with the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations and be officially registered.
Visitors and tourists who bring their vehicles into Canada temporarily do not have to comply with the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations. This exemption applies if the vehicle is used exclusively by the visitor or tourist. The vehicle cannot be sold in Canada and cannot remain in the country any longer than the time specified on the visitor's visa or work permit.
US car insurance is accepted in Canada for people travelling from the US on a tourist visa. Most US car insurance policies offer an option to include insurance in Canada, as well as the US.
Insurance for other foreign vehicles for drivers from outside the US must include an International Insurance Policy which covers Canada. US insurance companies offer insurance to international drivers in the US and Canada but premiums are often higher and an international driving licence is required. It is hard to find any Canadian insurance companies which will provide insurance for visitors to Canada driving a foreign vehicle.
Car insurance is expensive in Canada and many companies will not insure people without a full (G) Canadian driving licence.
To obtain car insurance in Canada it is necessary to:
Generally, more experienced drivers have lower insurance rates. Insurance companies are not obliged to take into account any information from foreign insurance companies, for example no-claims bonuses.
It is often possible to purchase insurance over the telephone, although some companies may demand that official documents are signed before coverage can begin.
Once insurance has been purchased, the company will send the relevant documents to the insured driver's address. This should include a wallet-sized pink card which is the "proof of insurance". The card should be kept with the driver at all times when driving. If stopped by the police without the "proof of insurance" card a fine may be incurred; this can also affect future insurance rates.
In the event of an accident or damage to a vehicle, the insured person must:
When making a claim against another driver, contact their insurance company personally and as quickly as possible (usually within seven days).

So far, so good!
Vet recommended Perio-Support Powder by Vetri-Science Laboratories for my dog who has tartar issues and on average, one tooth extracted every year. My very picky girl lapped it up when sprinkled on her food. I can say that her breath has improved and anxious to see if it pays off with a good dental report. Pureformulas had a great price, with FREE shipping!
Able to buy a smaller quantity to see if she'll like, before investing in a larger bottle. Dispenser allows you to easily sprinkle on food.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

No improvement
I have my cats on a raw diet... and their breath is pretty bad sometimes when they are licking themselves ontop of me where i get a wiff of it. The product when received had the seal up in the cap so it wasn't even sealed. I have used Perio-Support Powder by Veti-Science laboratories for two weeks now. I don't see a improvement of fresh breath.
Easy to sprinkle.
Didn't work.

Still brush - but this supports!
Perio-Support Powder is a great support formula that youre dogs will love. But still need to brush or pay the vet to do dentals! Nothing gets around that.
