Gaston Glock never intended to create "perfection".
Instead, the curtain-rod engineer with a background in synthetic polymers wanted to design a sidearm to meet strict criteria desired by the Austrian military for its next service pistol.
Glock's first firearm design was also his 17th patent—the now famous 9x19mm Glock 17—which won the Austrian contract in 1982 and soon became the most commonly used handgun in the world. In fact, the Glock 17 remains a standard-issued sidearm of NATO.
Millions of people trust their lives to the reliability of Glock pistols, but popularity and perfection are mutually exclusive goals. Since there's no perfect way to satisfy every operator, folks tailor the polymer platform to fit their own unique objectives. From night sights to triggers and anything in between, there are likely more ways to customize your Glock than there are for a plastic surgeon to reconstruct your face.
While some modifications require an experienced gunsmith, the average shooter can install most parts in just minutes. Determined to improve upon the "perfect" plastic pistol, I set out to find and test the most popular drop-in Glock mods available today.
- The plastic factory U-Dot sights are one of the most common complaints among Glock operators. Many folks refer to the sight acquisition as "ball in the bucket," which is a simple concept that works well, but their plastic design is undesirable.
The U-Dots may work just fine for plinking, but you shouldn't rely on them for practical applications. The cheap plastic construction poses a laundry list of disadvantages for everyday carry, home defense and competition uses. Repeatedly drawing from a holster is known to wear down the front sight post—or even worse, fracture it completely off the slide. The lack of tritium also makes U-Dots virtually useless in low-light conditions.
Trijicon Bright & Tough Night Sights are a popular solution to Glock's factory flaws. Their metal construction makes Trijicon sights much more durable for practical deployment, and self-luminous three-dot tritium greatly improves accuracy at night. The configuration pictured here uses Trijicon's GL11 Green Novak Rear Sight, which is also available with orange or yellow tritium inserts. Another variation of the Bright & Tough Sights are Trijicon's new HD Night Sights, which offer a unique photo luminescent paint on the front sight post for quick sight acquisition.
Changing the sights on a Glock is the most difficult drop-in modification, but can still be accomplished without sending your slide to a gunsmith. Most sight manufacturers recommend professional install, but don't let that advice deter you from changing your sights.
All you really need are few tools and a steady hand. Before conquering the project, I suggest acquiring a Lone Wolf Distributors 4-in-1 Armorers Tool. Changing the front sight post is a breeze with the included 3/16-inch nut driver, and the 3/32-inch pin punch comes in handy for several other drop-in mods on this list. A useful gadget for carefully installing rear dovetail sights is the MGW Sight Mover. You'll also want to anchor your new sights into place with a drop of thread locker.

An Auckland boxer who once fought Sonny Bill Williams has pleaded not guilty to a charge of doing an indecent act at the Boxing Day races.
Glenview man Gary Charles Gurr, listed in court documents as a builder, gained infamy as the boxer who was knocked out by Williams in May 2009 after claiming he'd win the fight in the first round.
The 35-year-old today pleaded not guilty to performing an indecent act at the Ellerslie races.

Mumbai, Jan 10: Pakistani actress-model Veena Malik has shunned offers to pose nude by international publications such as Playboy and the Hollywood film-makers.
According to B-town sources, Veena had received offers from Playboy, Sun UK and Zoo magazine, but she refused.
"I have been misquoted by a media agency that I was willing to do anything if I was offered Hollywood films... the working culture (there) was different from India and Pakistan," Veena said in a statement today.
The controversial actress had earlier said, "When I am in Hollywood I would do what is expected of me in their industry. I am an entertainer after all."
"But this doesn't mean that I would go nude for work. How can one reach any such conclusions," Veena, presently in Dubai, said today.
In December, a nude picture of hers, sporting an 'ISI' tattoo, on the FHM magazine had caused much outrage. However, Veena had denied that she had posed nude, and accused the magazine of tampering with the original pictures.

If we want to make up for the reality that lower wage people may have lower lifespans because of the work they do, we should consciously make SS benefits more progressive.

I favor including the consideration of raising the Normal Retirement Age because it may make some sense to cover part of the shortfall with an across the board cut. As with my comment to the previous post, the solution needs to recognize that SS already includes some compromises.Arnehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334408760351487944.post-4256656274953294402016-05-26T15:57:35.524-04:002016-05-26T15:57:35.524-04:00If Social Security were simply insurance then peop...If Social Security were simply insurance then people with good savings habits (which is greatly assisted by having good income) should pay in less rather than more. I like to frame SS as first insurance against running out of retirement savings, but I understand that it is much more complicated than that.

So the policy might accurately be described not so much as adding incentives to delay retirement as removing disincentives.

In fact, absent being able to draw down prior contributions, no retirement plan makes any sense. Saying that SS cannot run a deficit means defining interest income and trust fund draw down differently than this author. Myth 6 boils down to the myth that you can get an answer without agreeing on terms.

However, it indirectly contributes to the on-budget deficit because the interest payments it receives from the general fund are on-budget. "

The Unified Budget treats SS like it is a slush fund. And he talks about the Trust Fund as a fiction.

Here is what the Trustees said in their 2015 report :

In particular, trust fund accounting accurately reflects the law, under which benefits cannot be paid in full on a timely basis after reserve depletion. In contrast, unified budget accounting assumes that full scheduled benefits will continue to be paid through transfers from the General Fund of the Treasury, thus representing "a draw on other Federal resources for which there is no earmarked source of revenue from the public." Not only are such "draws" not permissible under the law, no precedent exists for a change in the Social Security Act to finance unfunded trust fund obligations with such draws on other Federal resources. Under this unified budget accounting assumption, $10.7 trillion of OASDI unfunded obligations, which are not payable under the law over the next 75 years, are referred to as "expenditures" requiring a "draw" from the General Fund of the Treasury.

I would call this type of information informative, but that is as far as I would go. What does it have to do with social security?

Clearly health, savings and work force participation directly affect social security expenses and revenues. However, the design or lack of design of social security has nothing to do with any of these studies.

The studies purpose is then to do what? Push for reforms of a program that has no design criteria? Changing the rules is never a good thing. When I was a kid playing games, there were kids who were always changing the rules. When this happened, these rule changers were not asked to play again.

Another purpose of these studies appear to be to sway public support. Again public support to make changes to a program with no design creates havoc.

These reports are always looking at the past and comparing them to recent data. Good information if you are going to design something. Looking back at what should have been done does little to correct 79 years of running a social security program with no design is just too late.

The trustees state in 2034 SS-OASI trust fund will be exhausted. In that year they can pay 75% of scheduled benefits. This means that in 2033 tax revenues are most likely 25% short of what is needed to pay scheduled benefits, but due to the generosity of workers, SS benefits will be paid in full for one more year.

This is like driving across country knowing you will run out of gas 3/4 of the way to your destination and then asking for handouts to make it the rest of the way.

Maybe the best way to use this data is to start over - completely start over. Scrap Social Security - no more benefits - no more payroll taxes. Use the data to design a program that is actuarial viable.

Given that Congress solved the problem by cutting benefits AND increasing taxes from 9.35 to 15.3 percent, I find the 1.8 percent number a bit suspect.

Even if the gap were closed entirely with tax increases, per the trustees economic projections, the median earner of 2035 would still have more disposable income than the median earner today. Too many people ignore the fact that future generations will need to save more for retirement because they will live longer. A balanced PAYGO SS program as part of retirement insurance is entirely workable.Arnehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334408760351487944.post-6311940044522937922016-04-04T14:50:22.908-04:002016-04-04T14:50:22.908-04:00" the 6 percent rate might or might not be en..." the 6 percent rate might or might not be enough that trust fund interest would be able to fund benefits indefinitely "

Sorry, not well written. The 1944 report assumed that rates would be increased to 6 percent (3 from employee and 3 from employer). It said that payroll taxes in combination interest would (if projections were consistent with the "low example") be enough "forestall, perhaps indefinitely" needing to raise taxes or liquidating the trust fund. In the "high example" it would merely defer needing more income (such as more than 6 percent payroll tax).

Much has changed since 1944. Although the Trust Fund does provide significant income to SS, it is nothing like an endowment that I think Altmeyer wanted to see.Arnehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334408760351487944.post-29044859520288576242016-04-04T14:29:59.544-04:002016-04-04T14:29:59.544-04:00"Altmeyer testified in 1943 that if the payro..."Altmeyer testified in 1943 that if the payroll tax was not immediately raised to 6-7% that future workers would pay more for their benefits than they were worth."

No, Congress was deferring the planned increases which would not get to 6 percent until 1948. Altmeyer testified that if they continued to defer the planned increases until they actually needed the money, future beneficiaries would be better off with market insurance. Per the 1944 report, signed by Altmeyer, the 6 percent rate might or might not be enough that trust fund interest would be able to fund benefits indefinitely (as benefits were defined at that time).

Congress did not trust government to manage such a large trust fund and in their lack of self trust they then demonstrated that they were not trustworthy by failing to understand what Altmeyer was telling them and deferred raising the rate to 6 percent until 1960.

Even though the effective IQ of Congress remains far below that of A. J. Altmeyer, Social Security has been and can remain effective. Unfortunately, it will always need Congress to make periodic adjustments as demographics and the economy evolve. I suggest that a rule that increased payroll taxes and Normal Retirement Age together when the program fails to meet the short-range test of financial adequacy would have an adequate effective IQ.

Congress needs to be advised by people who understand the requirements to make a Pay As You GO system work. Supporters like to stick to the "I paid for my benefits" view of SS, but it really is about providing for those of our previous generations who outlive their retirement savings. Detractors like to think everyone should succeed at saving enough for themselves, but we have a long history of willingly taking care of not just our parents, but of all our elders.Arnehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334408760351487944.post-69569887001727030142016-03-30T11:24:36.456-04:002016-03-30T11:24:36.456-04:00A. J. Altmeyer testified in 1943 that if the payro...A. J. Altmeyer testified in 1943 that if the payroll tax was not immediately raised to 6-7% that future workers would pay more for their benefits than they were worth.

This would mean those receiving benefits then were collecting far more than their payroll taxes could support.

"Ida May Fuller worked for three years under the Social Security program. The accumulated taxes on her salary during those three years was a total of $24.75. Her initial monthly check was $22.54. During her lifetime she collected a total of $22,888.92 in Social Security benefits.

Charles Blahous mentions increased life span at age 65, but does not identify that the the retirement age already has increased to age 67, the payroll tax increased from 2% to 10.6 and now to 10.03% and the base from $3,000 to $118,500. An increase in retirement age alone of one years requires the person live an additional 2.5 years in order to recoup the additional value of payroll taxes and time value of the delay on past payroll taxes.

Charles Blahous also mentions paying out of the general fund when Social Security payroll taxes and trust fund cannot pay scheduled benefits. The last time the General Fund had a surplus was in 1957. Is this guy for real? I think he may be a part of the greatest generation that invented kick the can and now they have applied been applying it to social security for decades.

Wake up folks, the game is up. Bernie Madoff has now been surpassed as the biggest con artist. Maybe it was FDR?

Is free software "communist"? Maybe yes...
Some prominent people have called free software "communist" in an attempt to bring Cold War bugaboos to bear against the movement—a kind of "nuclear option" of FUD. I remember the paranoia of the Cold War personally, and I thought then (and I still do now) that it was "just stupid".
So rather than react as some have done with a knee-jerk "no it's not!", I propose to accept the label and see where that insight takes us. Maybe there is something communist about free software? I think we will see, however, that the idea behind free software is far more radical: no less "communist" than "capitalist", but no more so, either.

Like Wasteland Merc 2, this is a total conversion mod. Wasteland Merc 3 features all new locations, custom weapons,
new missions and dialog. See below for a more detailed list of these features.
In this version of the Wasteland Merc series you're a mercenary stranded in a town with a broken down car. The leader, Kingpin, will repair your car and eventually allow you to leave for good if you repay his favor by completing a series of quests to help the town.
Unlike the previous Merc Mod, you won't have to remember where each person is to cash in your reward items. There will be a single character that will send you out for items to return for a reward. This should alleviate some of the headache of dealing with the 60+ NPCs in the previous mod.
There will be only one big town in WM3. You won't have to worry about running out of time, as you'll never even see the world map. New areas are unlocked by completing tasks for members of the town and can be accessed by using your car (similar to the vault-net in the second mod). With this removal of the world map you'll be instead able to choose to hunt using your car. You can choose to travel deeper into the wastes to encounter more difficult random enemies.
* The addition of Boss Battles. In order to clear an area (some areas can only be done once) you may have to defeat a boss-type enemy to get the key item you're seeking. Speech skills will come into play as you may be able to convince a character to give up an item without conflict.
* Multiple endings. In WM3 you have several options to complete the game. You can eliminate the super-mutant who is threatening the town (the final boss) or even kill all the inhabitants of the town. The previous games ended only when the time ran out, now you have a real goal.
* It won't be so annoying to get certain essential materials for crafting and other tasks (water, most notably).
*Automated mining and cooking

Only registered members can share their thoughts. So come on! Join the community today (totally free - or sign in with your social account on the right) and join in the conversation.
Since 2002 we have explored, played and enjoyed mods of all shapes and sizes just like Wasteland Merc 3. We love games like Fallout 2 that have opened themselves up to modding. Because of communities like Workshop, Nexus, Curse, RTSL, GameBanana and Mod DB, more games support modding today than ever before.
As mods play a bigger role in the future of gaming, we believe it is important to recognize the effort the teams behind the work put in, giving us countless hours of enjoyment while asking nothing in return. We have the power to change our games and that needs to be celebrated to ensure it remains a big part of PC gaming's future.
In 2015, when the paid modding dispute left many gamers and modders worried about the direction the industry is headed. Things have since settled down, but we believe it is important to continue this small tradition to show we are not alone in our love for mods, and the open platforms that embrace them.
Nothing is more motivating than knowing something you've built is being enjoyed by others. So this week if there is a mod you love on Mod DB (or anywhere else), make the effort to shout out to them, mention and link their mod in a tweet, blog, forum or facebook post with the hashtag #modlove2016 (or click the icons above for a pre-built post).
To thank those who participate in spreading the love and awareness, we have partnered up some friends of Mod DB (Killing Floor 2, Mount & Blade Warband, Space Engineers, Insurgency, Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, Black Mesa, Contagion, S.T.A.L.K.E.R - get involved) & have a few keys to giveaway. To win one of the games, after you have linked to a mod on Mod DB (or anywhere else) in a tweet, blog, forum or facebook post, let us know by leaving a comment with a link to your post. At the end of the week we shall be picking members at random who followed these rules, and will send them a key from one of these games."; var modapprecation = $("#modappreciationweek span.messagealt").html(); $("#modappreciationweek a.modshare").mouseenter(function(){ $("#modappreciationweek span.messagealt").html($(this).attr("alt")); }); $("#modappreciationweek").mouseleave(function(){ $("#modappreciationweek span.messagealt").html(modapprecation); }); $("#modappreciationweek .togglebox").click(function(){ if(modapprecationtext) { $(".modappreciationweekbox .body").html(modapprecationtext); modapprecationtext = false; } $(".modappreciationweekbox").slideToggle(); return false; }); viewBrowse = function(currentoption, response) { if(!isNaN(parseInt(response["updatecount"]))) { $("#updates").html(response["updatecount"]==1 ?

DUBLIN, March 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/9929td/it_market_in) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International IT Market in Russia" report to their offering.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769 )
Cloud computing is an internet-based computing where all the data of end-users are stored on vendor's data center. Cloud resources are not only shared by multiple users but also dynamically re-allocated as per demand. The users of the cloud computing don't have to invest in infrastructure and other resources. They have to pay only for the services which they use, based on pay-per-subscription model, which helps them save cost and time of implementation. This also helps end-users to focus on their core competencies. Cloud computing can be divided into IaaS, SaaS, and PaaS. Until recently, people of Russia were not much aware of the benefits of cloud computing.
However, they have started investing in IaaS, so the demand of IaaS is growing followed by the demand for SaaS-based solutions. In addition, the investment in public clouds is expected to increase by the time depending on awareness among the consumers. Because of the cost and time associated advantages, cloud computing is highly popular among the SMEs, worldwide. However, SMEs of Russia have not invested much in cloud-based solutions, such companies have started investing into SaaS. Therefore, SMEs in Russia are expected to be the major end-user for this technology during the forecast period.
According to the report, the growth of the IT market in Russia is driven by several factors, one of which is the increase in oil prices. The rise of oil prices is responsible for stable economy of Russia. Increment in oil prices strengthens the Russian Ruble (RUB), which will further drive the IT spending from various end-users segments, contributing to the growth of the market.
Further, the report states that one such challenge which is curtailing the growth of the market is the lack of legal framework to control piracy in the country. Since most of the software is available in pirated version, enterprises as well as individuals are not purchasing the original software, which is acting as an inhibitor to the growth of the market.
The report also includes a discussion of the other vendors operating in this market. The other vendors in the market are EPAM Systems, IBS, and LANIT.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.

4400: Promises Brokenby David Mack
4400 taken, 4400 returned. All were given startling new abilities. Now, if you are willing to risk it all, you too can be extraordinary. Is this what the future intended to ensure the survival of the human race? Promicin -- which kills half of those who dare to inject it and grants paranormal abilities to those who survive -- is spreading across the globe and threatening to plunge the entire world into chaos. One year has passed since Jordan Collier and his followers seized control of Seattle and renamed it Promise City. U.S. armed forces have surrounded Seattle, and each day brings Collier and his Promicin-Positive Movement closer to all-out war with the world's greatest military superpower. However, the real threats are the Marked -- agents from the future whose identities are encoded into body-hijacking nanites. They were sent back to thwart the efforts of the 4400. The last three surviving Marked lurk in the shadows, working in secret as they prepare to deliver a deathblow to the planet. Caught in the crossfire are NTAC agents Tom Baldwin and Diana Skouris. His son, Kyle, and her thirteen-year-old adopted daughter, Maia, are both more loyal to Jordan's movement than to them. And when the standoff between Collier and the U.S. military explodes into open conflict, Tom, Diana, and fellow agents wind up outnumbered and outgunned. In the end, the fate of all mankind will rest in the hands of one man: Tom Baldwin.

This 5-day detox program allows you to eat whole, nutrient-rich foods--and feel satisfied and energized while dropping pounds!

67 Shots: Kent State and the End of American Innocenceby Howard Means
At mid-day on May 4, 1970, after three days of protests, several thousand students and the Ohio National Guard faced off at opposite ends of the grassy campus Commons at Kent State University. Just after noon, the Guard moved out. Twenty-five minutes later, Guardsmen launched a 13-second, 67-shot barrage that left four students dead and nine wounded, one of them paralyzed for life. The story doesn't end there though. A far greater tragedy was narrowly averted minutes later when the Guard and students reassembled on the Commons. Using the university's recently available oral history collection, Howard Means delivers a book that tracks events still shrouded in misunderstanding, positions them in the context of a tumultuous era in American history, and shows how the shootings reverberate still in our national life.

The 7th Victimby Alan Jacobson
Karen Vail is no ordinary FBI agent. She's a profiler, brought to life by national bestselling author Alan Jacobson's seven years of unprecedented access to the FBI's vaunted profiling unit. The Karen Vail Series has been raved about by reviewers, readers, law enforcement officers of all stripes, real FBI profilers . . . even one of the legendary founding fathers of the Behavioral Analysis Unit. And it all started with The 7th Victim. With a dry sense of humor and a closet full of skeletons, Karen Vail leads the Dead Eyes Task Force in its search for a serial killer who is not only murdering young women but who has an intimate knowledge of their cases--and their plan for catching him. When the task force is unable to decipher a string of cryptic clues left behind at the crime scenes, Vail leans on a controversial profile she has drawn up--which leads her to believe that the seventh victim holds the key to finding the killer. But there's no way she could be prepared for what she discovers as the story builds to a powerful ending no reader will see coming. Blockbuster author Nelson DeMille described FBI profiler Karen Vail as "tough, smart, funny, [and] very believable," and literary icon Michael Connelly called her "my kind of hero." Named one of the top five books of the year by Library Journal, The 7th Victim gets the critically acclaimed, bestselling Karen Vail Series off to a groundbreaking start.
The 8-Week Blood Sugar Diet: How to Beat Diabetes Fast (and Stay Off Medication)by Michael Mosley
A groundbreaking guide to defeating diabetes without drugs--including a step-by-step diet plan, recipes, and the science behind why the program works--from #1 New York Times bestseller Dr. Michael Mosley whose life-changing FastDiet series brought on "a health revolution" (New York Times).The 8-Week Blood Sugar Diet is a radical new approach to the biggest health epidemic threatening us today... Our modern diet, high in low-quality carbohydrates, is damaging our bodies--producing a constant overload of sugar in our bloodstream that clogs up our arteries and piles hidden fat into our internal organs. The result has been a doubling in the number of type 2 diabetics, as well as a surge in those with a potentially hazardous condition--prediabetes. It is now known that even moderately elevated blood sugar levels can trigger heart disease, stroke, dementia, and cancer. Scientists have recently demonstrated that you can prevent and even reverse type 2 diabetes with a simple change in diet and lifestyle. Drawing on the work of Professor Roy Taylor--one of the UK's foremost diabetes experts--and his own experience as a one-time diabetic, Dr. Michael Mosley presents a groundbreaking, science-based, 8-week plan for diabetics who want to reverse their condition (and then stay off medication). He also offers a more flexible regime for people interested in the extensive health benefits to be gained from lowering their blood sugar levels and shedding dangerous fat. As Dr. Mosley says, it is never too late to act...

Juicy, ripe strawberries don't find their way into cooked pies all that often because they don't tend to hold up all that well to long baking times. The strawberries become mushy, give off all their juice and start to lose their color when overcooked. But short cooking times can do wonders for the berries and What Geeks Eat took advantage of this by baking a ... Read More »
Cakes by Me, reviewed
Over the past few months, I've made quite a few birthday cakes. More than usual were for children. My usual cake decorating style is pretty simple: casual frosting application and a bit of chocolate to write happy birthday with. Piping, let alone the creation of more complex themes, are not always my favorite things to do. But kids really like their cakes to look fancy ... Read More »
Angel Food Loaf Pan
Several weeks ago, I discussed the question of whether or not you need an angel food cake pan to make angel food cake. The answer is yes because the cakes are delicate and the pan is designed not only to let them rise to their fullest potential and to cool without falling, but to make them easy to remove from the pan. At the time, ... Read More »
Cheesecake Brownies
The first time I ever had cheesecake brownies, they were a variation on a box brownie mix that my mom baked. I had cheesecake brownies this way for years. Some of those box brownie mixes are very good (Ghiradelli is one of my favorites) and I always enjoyed it when I found a batch in the kitchen. Presentation-wise, it's a beautiful dessert, but the thing ... Read More »

Fortunately,techniques and recipes have been refined thoroughly over the past few thousand years to being us where we are today. The first thing that Grill It! ... Read More »
Brown Sugar Streusel Baked French Toast
Baked french toast is a really great recipe to have in your repertoire. The idea behind it is that you can prepare it the night before, refrigerate it, then pop it into the oven when you wake up in the morning. It's an ideal brunch dish because you can make as much – or as little – as you want, and unlike regular french toast, ... Read More »
What is fondant?
The term "fondant" can refer to a couple of different things. In many British cookbooks, for instance, a soft-centered chocolate cake is called "chocolate fondant." The term primarily refers to a cooked mixture of sugar, water and cream of tartar that can be used either as a candy filling or as a frosting for a cake. Fondant is made by boiling sugar and water to ... Read More »
Vanilla Honey Poached Apriums
The more fruit you have in the kitchen at any given time, the more difficult it is to use it up before some of it begins to become overripe. Apples, for instance, are durable, but the majority of summer produce – stone fruits, berries, etc. – either continues to ripen on your counter or simply starts to go bad the minute it comes through the ...
