I do not and never have liked IWB - just me! I always use OWB 3 to 3.30. I am tho keen to always have some cant .. preferably quite generous ... seems to suit my draw and also allows for gun grips to stay almost above the gun muzzle - thus decreasing printing by showing butt thru my shirt at back.
Many folk like vertical I know, and yet even for IDPA I still want cant.
This rig is a Brit made ''Horseshoe Leather'', in fact made for Govt 1911 but is just great for my BHP - cant is absolute minimum I can like - but seeing as this beaut' rig was given to me - who am I to complain. Worked well for IDPA last year.
This is the first rig I got for my SIG 226, a Dillon - here we have quite good cant, and draw is just great. Rig holds gun tight to me ... printing is no problem. I have since got a K&D rig, even nicer and quite ornate, that is being broken in right now, cant is similar.
Here, my SP-101 rig ... a very well made copy (also by K&D) of my original Jim Burke rig. This cant is superb - suits this gun great. Sadly Jim (Paris TX) died not too many months after I bought the original rig from him in Dallas - thus my wish to have a copy and perpetuate his design.
I also use Fobus and Kydex rigs sometimes - again, with quite generous cant. So - how do others view cant? Like it - or not?

|"Rigidity of periodic cyclic homology under certain smooth deformations"
|Ph.D. Thesis Defense
|Allan Yashinski, Adviser: Nigel Higson, Penn State
|Given a formal deformation of an algebra, Getzler defined a connection on the periodic cyclic homology of the deformation, which he called the Gauss-Manin connection. We define and study this connection for smooth one-parameter deformations. Our main example is the smooth noncommutative n-torus viewed as a deformation of the algebra of smooth functions on the n-torus. In this case, we use the Gauss-Manin connection to give a parallel translation argument that shows that the periodic cyclic homology groups of noncommutative tori are the same as in the commutative case. As a consequence, we obtain differentiation formulas relating various cyclic cocycles on noncommutative tori. By considering the properties leveraged in the case of noncommutative tori, we generalize to a larger class of deformations, including nontrivial crossed product algebras by the group of real numbers. The algebras of such a deformation extend naturally to differential graded algebras, and we show that they are fiberwise isomorphic as A_infinity-algebras. As a corollary, periodic cyclic homology is preserved under this type of deformation. In particular, this gives yet another calculation of the periodic cyclic homology of noncommutative tori and a proof of the Thom isomorphism in cyclic homology.

This is my entry for Vamplit blog's Friday flash fiction this week. I hope you enjoy it.
Voodoo Queen
She leads me to a large bed in a small room. There is not much more space in here for anything other than her bed. She motions for me to lie down , and I do so. What she can show me that I have not already seen is beyond me, but she possesses some kind of knowledge, some kind of power that can feel things in much the same manner I do.
"Let your mind relax," she says. "The dreams will come to you. You will see many things. Wonderful things; joyous things; sad, disturbing things."
Her voice is magical, calming me, setting the scene for a transformation to my dream state. I see the streets of New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and the surrounding countryside: Louisiana in all its majesty, set apart from the rest of the country not only by its wondrous swamps and topography so different from anywhere else, but by a resonating feeling in the air; a feeling of spiritual dominance.
Voodoo. After all these years, the underpinnings of the religion are still present. The faith is primarily one of joy and hope, reaching out for community and love amongst its family. The true New Orleans voodoo is not concerned with evil. Good is at its core.
On the outskirts of a long ago plantation, a wonderful dance is occurring, spirits are surrounding the worshipers, guiding them, helping them find peace in a troubled world. They spin and twirl around a bonfire reminiscent of the days in Benin, on the Western African coast, before the slave trade brought them here.
In the center of the festivities is a young woman with a huge snake around her shoulders, its tail and head supported in her hands. Her glistening, black body, naked to her waist, draws the attention of the rest of the worshipers. She is the Voodoo Queen; she holds powers, ones she will use only for good.
The Voodoo serpents have healing knowledge and are a connection between heaven and earth. Legba is happy with the invocations tonight. His intercessions on behalf of Loa will be kind.
Through the night the dancing continues, the joy spreads to all.
And then . . .
The Bokor arrives; with snakes of his own; not the good snakes present here, but evil, vile serpents intent on harm. They attack the worshipers, striking out at them viciously, causing them to drop from the ingestion into their bodies of the poisonous venom. Huge pockets of pus form on the stricken people and other serpents tear these open and inject even more venom. No one stands a chance from the attack.
This beastly Bokor produces his evil ouanga, that poisonous charm, and sets upon the Voodoo Queen. The poison contained within strikes at her, weakening her, and draining her strength. She has much power and ouanga of her own, but her reluctance early on to use it is costing her now.
He strips her of the rest of her garments and flings her to the ground, calling on his demonic serpents to finish her off, to use her in whatever way they wish. They waste no time, slashing into her, attacking seemingly every square inch of her body. She fights back, actually killing off some of them with her poisonous charms, but is too little, too late. There are too many of them, and the Bokor reviles in his power over her and the rest.
The bonfire burns brightly, displaying the scenes of torture and grief, the ground red from spilled blood. The mind-controlled ones under the Bokor's control arrive and start dragging bodies towards the fire, hacking and tearing them apart before fueling the fire with their remains. With each piece tossed in, the fire burns ever more vivid, a Satanic scene of tremendous proportion.
The Bokor has triumphed. He has the power. His will has shoved the dominance of what he is to a greater understanding amongst the faithful. He has spared only a few to relay the news to the others within the area. New Orleans will be his. All of Louisiana will soon fall under his sway.
He picks the bleeding Voodoo Queen up from the ground and carries her to the fire: the cleansing fire of his wrath. With his tremendous strength, he raises her high overhead and tosses her into the center of the huge gathering of flames.
She sends a horrifying shriek of pain throughout the swamplands . . .
I twist and turn in my dream state, horrified at what I'm seeing, actually feeling the heat of the flames. Yes, I am there, but there is nothing I am able to do: the past can not be changed.
The Bokor and his minions leave, and the few witnesses to this horrible spectacle run off to escape, not knowing what their role is.
I remain, watching the fire, wondering why I am rooted to where I'm at. My answer comes when I see a parting in the fire: Legba has the Voodoo Queen in his arms and is carrying her out, away from the flames. She is bleeding from every conceivable place in her body, and her charred flesh is falling off, dropping to the ground.
He places her on a patch of damp grass away from the area of the burning and sprinkles some powders over her. The giant snake returns and carefully wraps itself around her tortured body. Ever so slowly, she starts to heal, the bleeding stopping first, and then her useless, charred skin replaced by new, vital tissue.
She shivers as her transformation occurs and moans from the pain still present in her body. Visions of ancestors display themselves before her eyes, telling her they are there and will help, that she just needs to be strong: for herself and the community.
Legba smiles down on her, and he and the serpent vanish into a mist, floating away. She lies there until her rejuvenation is complete and gets to her feet, still shakened and weak, but standing. It pains her to think of what happened to her family; how she was unable to stop the brutal massacre. With difficulty, she searches the area to find anyone she can help, but it is a fruitless search. She is alone.
Clothes have been placed for her on the limbs of a low growing bush and she puts them on. One last look behind her, and she wanders in the direction of the plantation house. It is here she will stay while she ponders her next move.
My eyes open, and I look at the face of my new friend. Tears are falling down her cheeks. It was not easy for her to re-live the horrendous moments of the past.
Her nightmare has become mine. She is no longer alone in fighting it.

I have worked extensively with Tami K. @ the Lazarex Cancer Foundation. With my "chemo brain" always lurking around, she provides me with the utmost tender care via the phone. I'd like to recognize Tami for her outstanding work with cancer patients and the services Lazarex provides us.

Lazarex Cancer Foundation serves the needs of all patients and their families at a time of great emotional and economic burden due to very serious illness. Through the visionary leadership of its president, Dana Dornsife, Lazarex has placed itself in the forefront of efforts to help the most resource-challenged members of medically underserved communities, by educating them about novel treatments, identifying clinical trials for those treatments, creating a roadmap to enrolling in those trials, and providing funding to support the significant costs of maintaining participation. Ms. Dornsife is tireless in pursuing these goals and in enlisting clinicians, researchers, and others to create the most effective means for achieving them. She is a powerful advocate within all levels of government for these patients and their families. Lazarex' innovative programs are already on the path to success and the partnerships it has been establishing with universities, hospitals, industry, and governmental agencies will transform the way society helps those most in need.

I have known Dana Dornsife and seen her in action for many years. At Lazarex, she combines a tender heart with hard-headed strategic know-how for getting things done. The Lazarex Cancer Foundation continues caring and works tirelessly to remove barriers and give support to those suffering with cancer when others have given up.

The Lazarex Foundation and its dynamic Founder, Dana Dornsife, are unparalleled in their commitment to helping patients beat cancer! From helping a person get the right treatment, at the right time at the right location - making sure that happens even when cancer devastates a family and its resources - to advocacy in Washington to make sure our government is investing in research and novel therapies and making those available to those who have run out of options - Lazarex is an incredibly valuable organization and resource to our communities. Lazarex offers unwavering hope to us all in their tireless effort to making cancer victims cancer survivors! We are all fortunate and blessed to have Lazarex working for us.

I have a friend who has been helped by Lazarex for many years and would probably NOT be
alive without their research and help with medicine. She raves about the professionalism
of this organization and is a spokesperson for them because of all they have done for her.
She tells me many stories of the people they have helped and are helping. I have donated
to Lazarex because I believe in what they do and how they do it.
This nonprofit is a genuine group of people who truly care about those they serve.

Lazarex is a great organization doing critical work, often with formerly-hopeless cancer patients. The group is well-run from the top down. Heaven forbid, if I or any of my family is ever in a situation where we need this sort of care, we will be very thankful that such as wonderful organization as Lazarex exists.

For a few weeks Christy's family was traumatized with the news of her advanced cancer. Lazarex turned a bleak future to bright hope when they supplied the means to get her the experimental treatments at Mayo in Minnesota. I still can hardly believe what has happened, that Christy has been cancer free since!!!
Thank you, Lazarex! Your name fits you so well!

Lazarex is the reason I can write this review today. I was given two years to live and my work was suffering from my mental state. I have to provide for my wife and son and keep my one man company going. My local Oncologist in Honolulu had nothing to offer. I was referred to a clinical trials in Santa Monica California but the travel was too expensive. With the help of Lazarex I was able to attend the trials, received wonderful treatment that has stopped all growth and shrunk one of my tumors and allowed me to keep working. Thank you Lazarex for helping me stay alive. Michael Honolulu Hawaii

Miami Dolphins: Greg Camarillo heads to "boot camp"
In his three seasons with the Miami Dolphins, Greg Camarillo has always been exceedingly accommodating with the media.
Moreover, his answers are typically insightful and, more often than not, delivered cheerfully and succinctly.
So it's no surprise that Camarillo — voted the 2009 Good Guy Award winner by Dolphins media — is heading to Mount Laurel, N.J., for the NFL's Broadcast Boot Camp, which begins Monday and runs through Thursday.
Camarillo is still only 28, but even with that engineering degree from Stanford in his back pocket, he's looking to expand his post-playing career options.
"They've had the program for a couple years, and I've always seen the pamphlets about it and the videos and have never had the opportunity," Camarillo said recently. "Last year it interfered with OTA's. This year it was our week off, so I figured I'd take advantage of it."
Twenty-five current and former NFL players have been invited to the camp, which will include seminars from a long list of accomplished broadcasters, both former players and non-jocks alike.
Among the speakers: James Brown, Ron Jaworski, Dick Vermeil, Ross Tucker and former Dolphins play-by-play man Howard David.
Just 11 active, signed players will be in attendance, including Colts center Jeff Saturday and Steelers receiver Hines Ward.
Of the 65 former and currrent players who went through the program the past three years, nearly half (28) have secured jobs in the broadcasting industry.
"Camarillo's a lot smarter than me," Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said. "This guy is a Stanford guy, so I mean he's got his head on his shoulders really well. He's very good in front of people. I've seen him with kids, at clinics. I've seen him in front of the cameras before. I think the guy is very good that way. I do think he's a curious guy. I think he likes digging for facts. … I can see him doing something like that."
How did Camarillo get selected? Turns out it's all pretty competitive.
"You have to submit an essay and a video resume," he said. "You've got to do a lot. They've got to sort out the people that are just doing it because they don't have anything better to do versus the people that are really interested. It was like applying to college almost."
"I haven't written an essay in years," Camarillo said, laughing. "It was like a page. It wasn't much."
Handwritten or typed?
"It was typed," he said. "Come on, give me a little bit of credit. Of course, it was edited."
That duty fell to Camarillo's fiancee, who is certified to teach English in Florida.
"She's my in-house editor," he said.
And the topic of that essay?
"The question was something about, 'How can this program help you in your career goals after football?' " he said. "If you're asking for my thesis statement, I don't have anything for you right now."
Give him a few years. Camarillo might be on your TV screen each and every NFL Sunday. Only instead of trying to outmaneuver defensive backs, he'll be in the much safer role of game analyst.

The 260 mile long Kentucky River runs from the southeast corner of the state to the Ohio River near Louisville. The 450,000 people of Lexington rely on the river for a majority of their drinking water. Due growth of the population and deterioration of the existing structures, the Kentucky River Authority began renovations on the 14 locks and dams along the river to increase the life and storage volume for the city's water supplies.
Work at Lock #9 called for replacing the existing dam while raising the pool elevation. The new dam was constructed immediately up river of the existing using steel caissons and underwater concrete placement. The increased fall distance in the emergency spillway created concerns of erosion of both the spillway bank, and the base of the dam itself. Due to the challenges of the river site, which included frequent flooding, precast concrete was the solution.
Oldcastle Precast had special molds fabricated to create the custom interlocking shapes as designed by the project engineers. The project required 113 pieces weighing 26,000 lbs each for a total of 1500 tons. Difficult site access to the river gorge on winding rural roads and limited site storage required skilled just-in-time transportation management and execution. Oldcastle Precast delivered.
Hollowcore plank flooring is a durable, fire-resistant, and virtually maintenance free flooring system.

Kitchen Ergonomics 101: Layout, Efficiency and Sweet Home Cooking
From Dean Dowd on December 29, 2009 in Kitchen Remodel
Kitchen ergonomics is the science of fitting the cooking space to the cook. In an efficient kitchen, tasks and products are made to be comfortable and proficient for the user. For the best in kitchen ergonomics, follow this one simple rule: If it frustrates you, upgrade it.
Efficiency Begins with Shopping
Wide isles, common sense layout, fresh produce, fast checkouts and calming music makes for an ergonomic grocery that knows the shopping experience matters. Organize your own kitchen and refrigerator shelves in a similarly logical manner.
Ergonomic Food
Take the edge off cooking. If you hate mixing pancakes from scratch, buy batter that sprays from a can. And when shredding cheese means scraped fingers, stock up on bags of shredded cheddar.
Work Space
Decide on the basic kitchen shapes: L shape, Island, U shape or Galley.
And within the workspace is the work triangle, the king of kitchen ergonomic principles. The triangle is the placement of the most often-used areas: refrigerator, sink and stove.
Counter top height for optimal use is three feet tall, unless the cook is especially tall, short or has special needs. Add under the counter lighting, a ceiling fan with light, and other conveniences that may benefit you and the space.
Theres no way to list all the gizmos and gadgets for the workspace, but when you need them, they matter. Access your cooking needs and find a way to accessorize your kitchen.
Frustrating kitchen scenarios happen all the time, like when youre pulling the food processor out of the cabinet and the cord tangles with the juicers plug. The KitchenAid Stand Mixer is a staple that subs for both these appliances, with attachments for slicing, shredding and juicing, along with eight other add-ons. Just one example of simplifying and saving space.
Another cooking-scenario-gone-bad includes the soft boiled egg thats rubbery from all the time spent on the burner. Eggcurate Kitchen Scale weighs in the egg for its perfect boil time and sounds an alarm when it is ready. Every kitchen problem has a solution.
Cabinets and Countertops
Clean them out and clean them off. Cabinets with built-in pot drawers, vertical cookie sheet and pan dividers, and adjustable shelves for tall items like cereal boxes make storage easy. Counters help with organization if there is space for the most-used small appliances.
Eating Spot
A nook, counter with bar stools or small kitchen table anyplace to gather for a quick bite to eat is convenient, even if the home has a formal dining area.
Health and Safety

I am an opened minded person and judging a book by it cover is not how a way to live ones life so I am opened minded to try new things . I recently had a chance to see Jose Garzon open for The Bunny The Bear and was impressed . Impressed enough to tell him I liked his performance and that's when he slapped a CD in my hand and said give it a listen . Well I did and I am very glad I did so . The EP opens with " Fly Away " a quick paced song with creative changes . Its about what the best songs are about and that central theme being LOVE .The melody and driving guitars are really fun and quick paced . Up next is " Stay Alive " a more serious song again about the pitfalls of love . I can definably see this act performing on Warped Tour or on a movie soundtrack great vocals on this one and the drums really shine . I can defiantly see the connection to the title of the album . The third track is " Amanda " which I can only assume its about a relationship gone bad and the lies we tell ourselves about who we are . I like the sound of the guitars and the engineering is top notch . Every song is radio friendly . I hope you Spanish is up to date because the next song is " Aungue Me Odies ( Una Cerveza )" not sure whats its about about but the bass line really rocks and the bridge is fun . The band on this disk is Jose Garzon on vocals, lead and rhythm guitars, Mike Herrera on bass guitar and drums by Keef West . I look forward to following this artists career development The album came out in 2013 by Sunset Management and the bands official tumblr is http://josegarzon.tumblr.com/

As with anytime that a developer adds new content to a game, a number of unforeseen bugs were introduced alongside Title Update 14 and Patch 1.04 for the console editions of Minecraft on Xbox 360 and PS3. A recent follow-up patch fixed a number of those issues but 4J Studios is still at work ridding the game of the remainder of the bugs as they are discovered. The developer confirmed on April 25 that they are currently addressing an assortment of issues that come from the new in-game invisibility options.
Furthermore, 4J Studios also revealed that they are working on a bug that was found to interfere with the sounds that are supposed to trigger from noteblocks. By announcing their continued effort to rid both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Minecraft of bugs, despite the fact that they just made a pass at known issues in the game's most recent title update, shows the developer's commitment to both their fans and the product.
Also coming out soon is the release of a new Spider-Man Skin Pack DLC which is set to add 35 new avatar skins to Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition next week which are all based upon the popular Marvel Comics series. Additionally, Patch 1.06 will coincide with the launch of the Candy Texture Pack and the Natural Texture Pack on the PS3 version of the game. Both of these add-ons are already available to Xbox 360 owners but will finally launch on Playstation 3 alongside the new update.
In addition to being able to download versions of Minecraft now on Xbox Live and the PS Store, 4J Studios is also currently working on new generation editions of the popular franchise that will release on both Xbox One and PS4. The developer has also now confirmed that players will be able to import their old world saves from the currently available console version of Minecraft to continue their progress in the upcoming PS4 and Xbox One editions.

My main problem with the gun is I and some others think it's just a poor design.My big problem with them is the company itself,much more so than the product.
Printable View
How is the usp? Unfortunately I have only seen it in video games but I hear it's fast and accurate. And shipwreck, shouldn't the synagogue have a desert eagle :p I apologize about seeming extreme about glocks. Just like sparking debates. Didn't mean to offend or disturb anyone. Actually my favorite gun my dad gave me was a ruger lcp. The only problem is it jams on the last round every time. So to fix the problem I have to load 7 fmj rounds with the last being a holo point.
No offense taken at all man,a little debating is good until it gets rude and out of hand.
Have you tried a new mag spring in the Ruger? You're getting an inertia feed from lack of tension on the last round,or occasionally a boltover but they aren't very common.
You're definately going to have to put your hands on a USP to know if you like it because there are 4 frames:the 9/40,9/40 compact,45,and 45 compact.It's been a long time since I shot a 9,but I like the 45 round and bought the fullsize Tactical for the reason it already had the match trigger in it,had adjustable sights and if I decide to put a can on it,the barrel is already threaded and the gun was designed to live with one attatched.You can put a threaded barrel in a standard model and will shoot just fine,but there is a slight difference in the recoil system.
The fullsize 45 is pretty big being the largest of the frames,but the grip isn't much larger than a Beretta 92 to me.I've had it for 2 years but haven't really put many rounds through it due to time and finding the right front sight heighth.Some people tend to shoot low with the USP,and I seem to be one.I think the big problem is the lack of recoil,which a looser grip would help,but I hold all my pistols the same so I'm not changing that.These things are freakin' accurate,and the recoil system really absorbs recoil in these frames.The buffer spring works twice,when the barrel unlocks it buffers that,resets foward on extraction and then buffers the slide impact at full rear stop.Some say the first buffering distracts them in sight tracking but I can't see the stutter.I don't recall the exact numbers,but the recoil system works so well that the force transfered to the frame is like 1/7 that of a normal 45 recoil system,cool design.
About the only cons to it are the size,the price,and some complain about the triggers,but none of it bothers me.The trigger and safety are modular with 9 variations,DAO and left and right safety for SA and DA/SA.The stock DAO sucks,but there are a few variations that can get you down to a 5lb pull.Then you have the match trigger in the 45 FS,but it can be installed in the 45 compact without the trigger itself.If you want a trigger stop you'd have to drill and tap the compact's trigger.Some complain about the reset being long but I find no issue of it being insane.I think too much is made out of reset,too little and you can bump fire it,and Jerry Mikuleck doesn't seem to be slowed down with the insane reset of a revolver.
If you can shoot one or a few,try one out for poops and giggles,they are unique.Kind of like Glock,some love them some don't,but not as bad as the Glocks.I'm a 1911 diehard and there is a bit of influence there in the design of the USP,so that's a plus.HK's mag releases are the gig,I'd love one on my 1911s but that just isn't going to happen.I don't think much of plastic period,but this gun impressed me enough to break down and get it.This is the only pistol that could dethrone the 1911 for me.
Later man.
That's awesome they have a USP that uses 9mm Luger. I also buy guns that my girlfriend can use and that's primarily why I chose glock. She dropped it once and concrete while cleaning it in our garage and the sights broke off. So I bought some truglow fiber oPtics. I would love to buy a 1911 but I can't afford it right now. There's a reason it's so popular and I believe it has something to do with winning two world wars maybe lol. But she has shot a 45 and it hurts her wrist. I will say glocks are annoying to cc. And the compact models don't fit my hand well.
I don't know about the 9s,but the 45 slide is pretty wide like the Glock but not such a block.The P30 and P2000 may be a little thinner but I don't know.
I did forget a bad point,HK mags are close to $60,that sucks bigtime.
I know what you mean about money,the economy here has been so bad I've lost about 1/2 my income 5 years ago.Boy does that put a kink in the gun budget.I'm trying to go through the Commander I carry to get it the way I like them set up but rebuilding the girlfriend's Harley and keeping mine up until I can go through it doesn't help the matter any.Thank God I reload to save some there.
Glock is better than many guns, so are: H&K, Sig, CZ, Beretta, Kahr, Ed brown, Colt, M&P, XDM, Walther, etc........They are all better than a Highpoint, but when you group all the better ones together it's purely a matter of subjective personal preference. #1 criteria for me is reliability. Glock, I don't believe there is any pistol w/ fewer parts, cheaper priced parts and accessories, light weight, somewhat easy to completey disasemble, consistent trigger albeit staple gun like and somewhat easy to master along with exceptional customer service and proven track record. Great pistol and company.
I'd own a Glock if I didn't have to handle it, or look at it, but that's just my opinion. Looks aren't important? What first drew your attention to the vehicle you're driving? The maintenance requirements? Not likely.
I'll bet you paid more for your vehicle than your carry gun, and I'll bet you liked the looks of your tens of thousands of dollars worth of vehicle, before you considered reliability or quality
It's personal preference. There is no right or wrong. Just send me what you want me to have. My local FFL dealer will gladly accept transfers from non-FFL holders with proper identification.
My car was a gift for graduating college. Can't speak for others but ya I have spent more on my glock then a car. So that kinda punches a whole in that comparison. And it is a jeep. Not the most beautiful car. But reliable.
If I win the lotto you bet. Stipulation 1: you have to shoot it 2: you have to say thank you :p
I do shoot them.... quite well, as a matter of fact. I just don't like their ergonomics, or their looks.
I'm old, so "thank you" will not be a problem.
I would also like to say that nothing screams "America " more then a 1911. Maybe a Winchester 45 level action rifle. But I find glock to be more intuitive then other guns as well.
Nah like I said before I have a ruger lcp and wasn't to impressed.
Like computers, it has its flaws. But it does the job.
As with computerssome of us like the Apple, and some the Microsoft versionsome don't fit well into the Glock gestalt.
The Glock pistol is but the basic, incomplete part of a do-it-yourself kit?
And their high-capacity magazines are actually one-cartridge-fewer-than-high-capacity magazines?
I prefer buying factory-completed guns that work properly, right out of the box.
Oh don't get me started on Mac and apple. And I haven't had the magazine issue. Even with all 17 it doesn't stick for me. And I didn't mind the stock sights. They worked just fine.
My Glock has yet to fail to fire or fail to feed, which makes it my most reliable pistol. My Beretta has only failed me once and has actually shot more rounds than the Glock. My colt 1911 acp can be a bit picky on what rounds it likes to cycle. Anything that looks like a fmj it will cyle fine, anything that has a wide hollow point it struggles to cycle. I like my 1911, but it's not the Holy grail of firearms. For those who love Berettas I like them also, if you love 1911's that's fine too. I certainly understand why some folks love the Glock, they are great pistols. I can shoot my Glock more accurately than I can ever shoot my 1911. It holds more rounds and shoots whatever I put through it. I still have stock sights on my pistol and have never had an issue. Finally, my Glock is a good lookin pistol :)
As far as ergonomics go, the blocky grip makes no difference to me. Only the trigger reach and grip angle really matter. Even the pinky hanging under the G27 does not affect me noticably. Aesthetics are another matter entirely. I keep my weapons clean and lubricated; I don't polish them or coddle them. I don't pay too much attention to the appearance as long as they are reliable and accurate.
Both my Glocks (just over a year old each) have been 100% reliable for me. As a pair (I always carry both or swap off the G23 for the S & W 640) they are the most reliable autos I've ever owned (and I've owned many autos).
If I had decided to go with SA weapons, there are now nice choices that were not available when I bought the first Glock. Sig Sauer's offerings would tempt me, but then I'd have to sell all of my DAO weapons to make that switch (and I love my revolvers).
Every one has their own opinion.
That said - I do not care for Glocks
I've owned 3 Glocks in past years and have sold them all except one.
To me they are ugly guns.
They do not fit my hands well.
I don't care for the grip angle at all.
Other than that they are great guns ... for other people to own.
While the Glock is touted as a DOA,and technically is,unless you're running the NY connector I consider it nothing but a crappy SA.A revolver and early DOA is DA to me,a long heavy stroke.Long being the key point,I've shot some tricked out revolvers that were far from a heavy pull.I see the partial cocking of the striker spring or the hammer in HK's unique setup really just excess creep and takeup in a SA,you have a bit of loaded takeup with a break on par with a heavy SA pull.
Just my view on the subject,when I got into handguns I was told to diversify and learn how to shoot all the trigger groups to be well rounded and proficient,you may never know what you'll be stuck with in an emergency so know how to use anything.I'm still a 1911 diehard so my DA skills aren't what they were when I could shoot alot,but I can still shoot them with combat accuracy should the need arise.

Live From….AmaPrima: Hits and Misses
August 16, 2013 | By Carolyn Spencer Brown | 2 Comments
The latest stage in AmaWaterways' ambitious growth plan – since its founding in 2002, it has introduced 15 ships! – feels more like a boutique hotel than a riverboat. Christened last week in Vilshofen, Germany, AmaPrima felt intimate and cozy, with a crew that offered sublime service (it's been in service since April). The 164-passenger ship features cabins with sit-out balconies, gorgeously designed public spaces such as a well-designed sundeck, and terrific food (with complimentary wine at lunch and dinner). Other features included a splash pool, fitness facility, alternative restaurant, massage therapist and beauty salon, and a wide range of shore excursions in ports of call (on this trip, Bratislava, Vienna, Durnstein, Melk, Link and Passau).
In this "hits and misses" post about our Danube cruise, I'll be honest: There frankly are far more hits than misses. Perhaps the biggest disappointment from our cruise is the fact that it ended. And that's the hallmark of a great trip.
Cabins. Many riverboats offer cabins with modified "French" balconies (so named because they allow for floor-to-ceiling windows that open but you can't step out) and a few others offer real verandahs you can sit on, but AmaPrima goes further. Spacious, 210 – 250-square ft. A and B categories offer a living area with French balcony and, off the bedroom, a two-seater verandah. Roughly half of all cabins onboard (and on AmaCerto, AmaVerde & AmaBella, too) have the dual scenario.
Other highlights of all cabins include a mini-bar stocked with complimentary bottled water, generous closet space (and under the bed storage), and marble shower-only bathrooms. One tip: Cabins on deck 2 are more centrally located while those on deck 3 may have slightly better views in port when the ship butts up against other vessels or docks.
The Itinerary. One of the downsides of river cruises for fans of the "sea day" on ocean voyages is that they can be a bit too jam-packed with activity. This itinerary, however, offered just the right amount of down-time. There were several half-days on the river (bliss) in between heavy-duty sightseeing in Budapest, Vienna and Linz (jumping off spot for all-day tours of Czech Republic's Cresky Krumlov and Austria's Salzburg). These were mixed with smaller cities and villages, like Austria's Durnstein and Melk, and Germany's Passau. And evening entertainment was fairly minimal (aside from a couple of special native-to-the-port performances) which offered a welcome chance to chill-out (or stretch out the evening with a good food and copious pours of delicious local wines at dinner).
Dining. AmaWaterways is the only major river cruise line to be part of the Chaine Des Rotisseurs, a culinary society, so we expected the food to be better than average, and indeed, it was superb. Breakfast – a combination buffet service with station for freshly prepared omelettes and specials like Eggs Benedict and cinnamon pancakes –was substantial. Lunch, with free-flowing wine, beer and sodas, included menu options along with a cold buffet.
Dinner was all off the menu, with choices of a pair of starters, salads and soup, entrees and desserts, and of course plenty of wine! Special needs, from vegetarian to low-salt, were pleasantly accommodated (though it helps to give Ama advance notice). Other dining options: Erlebnis is a Chef Table style eatery with an almost-open kitchen that allows you to watch the chefs work, is a once-a-cruise gourmet experience.
Staying Fit. Despite being plied with terrific, mostly European continental-style cuisine three-plus meals a day, few want to put on too much weight. That's where Ama's emphasis on fitness and recreation is really welcomed. The ship's gym (one of the prettiest I've seen, with flowers and other soft touches), features Kinesis, stationery bikes (with state-of-the-art Internet connectivity and television channels), and a treadmill.
There's also a massage therapist onboard (and the 60 euro for 60 minute fee for the treatment makes it one of the best values in any spa afloat).
Bikes! The Danube River's mostly flat surrounds, along with beautifully paved tow paths that run alongside, make it a great place for cycling. All of Ama's ships have bikes; on AmaPrima there were 25 or so, with three gears, helmets and locks. We loved the series of guided bike outings – in Durnstein, Linz and Passau, they offered a new twist on the tired concept of a city tour. On one adventure, the ship's cruise director and about 15 hardy passengers rode 20 miles between ship stops at Durnstein and Melk, in 100 degree weather. You can also use the cycles for your own ramblings.
AMA president Rudi Schreiner told Cruise Critic the bikes are so popular that he's thinking about expanding to 50 per ship(and maybe even adding a few of the electric variety).
The Sundeck. If we were giving an award today on the best sundeck on a riverboat, AmaPrima would get my vote! It's one of the rare vessels to have a splash pool with – get this – a swim-up bar (there's a draught tap on top at the bar). In high summer with temps hovering at 100 degrees most of the week, this was a beautiful spot for cooling off, sipping a cold brew, and chatting with other passengers. The glass walls fold down when the ship goes under low bridges.
Other facets of the sundeck that we loved included a massive, square-shaped seating areas with deep wicker-like cushioned couches, plenty of room for dining (with the occasional special event held up top), chaise lounges in the shade, and even a glassed partioned smoking area.
Casual Noshing. The ship's casual fare wasn't as tempting as its restaurant spreads. Those who wanted a quick meal at breakfast and lunch could head for the lounge for pastries and breads during the former, and a hot buffet item, soup, and pallid sandwiches during the latter. Plus: The lounge is set up with tables at cocktail rather than dining height. In between meals, the offerings were very skimpy (if you miss lunch, you get…cookies).
AmaWaterways' Schreiner told us that next year he'll incorporate a "bistro" concept for off-hours, a welcome change. There's no official "room service" either. One plus: The staff was really caring if you missed a mealtime (we watched as a late-arriving couple pleaded with the bar manager for snacks late one night; she went to the kitchen and brought them a full meal).
In-cabin Entertainment. This isn't a particularly monumental quibble, but the ship's much-lauded Infotainment system struck me as a bit on the weak side. Yes, you could access the Internet via a keyboard (though it seems like most of the passengers I met had their own iPads and such for staying in touch). There were a handful of news channels but the entertainment aspect was paltry. Under movies, you got a slew of episodes of "Downton Abbey" – it would have been more entertaining to have film options that pertained to our itinerary. One plus: After a slow start in Budapest, the free wireless Internet was superb. Another change in store for AmaWaterways next year, we're told: It will introduce Apple TVs as entertainment systems.
Onboard Enrichment. If you wanted to learn more about the ports you're visiting on this Danube River cruise, it won't happen onboard the ship, where there's very little programming — such as lectures or food demonstrations — beyond a handful of folk-style performances. As well, the library, which is rather small, doesn't stock a great collection of guides or other informational tomes.
Where you will pick up excellent insights is on tour; Ama's shore excursions, most of which are included in cruise fares, stray beyond the usual staple of guided city tours. Particularly intriguing: a culinary tour of Vienna, a communist era look at Bratislava, and a trip to Austria's lake district.

Tony, Great pictures... and so much work! Thanks for sharing them. I am sure they will give many people the incentive to build up something. I see from some of your other pictures you have built lots of now-spare systems--I have a garage full of those also :-) The helix with ring-reflector is very nice looking--those are especially nice for a compact portable system. Mine worked just fine for UO-11, but as we all now know, UO-11 is much easier to hear than S2 SSB on AO-40. You indicated the performance of the two systems was comparable. The BIG question everyone will sit on the edge of their seat to hear is... (drum roll, please): can you swap either the UEK or the TSI d/c from one antenna to the other? With that comparison you will get a narrower comparison of the dish+feed options. I never had a 3733+dipole feed up to compare to the helix+cup feed. A neat idea would be to take the stock TSI system supplied by K5GNA (dish + 3733), remove the dipole feed, and add an extension of some type to fit a helix+cup right at the calculated focus. The feed line would run up the center of the helix--coaxially. With a wire mesh screen on the dish, a plug-and-play feed replacement like this would be a popular item, I am sure, to gain 2.5 - 3 dB. 73, Jerry, K5OE firstname.lastname@example.com writes: > Hi Folks! > I have uploaded new photos of the DHSatellite 32" (80 cm) prime focus dish > in > the web-site. > these are the two links: > http://www.qsl.net/kc2hax/ant/antenna.htm > http://www.qsl.net/kc2hax/ant/expant.htm > The feed is an helix (3.25 turns in a coffee can feedhorn).

Los Angeles, California - Yuriorkis Gamboa is running scared, ducking and dodging tough as nails Mexican Brandon Rios, or at least that is the sentiment of boxing fans with a limited ability to read into the gospel truth of most boxing news sources.
Fact: Yuriorkis Gamboa has not showed up for two scheduled press conferences this week to promote a scheduled, HBO televised fight with Rios.
Fact: Brandon Rios has had a field day questioning Gamboa's heart.
Fact: Team Gamboa, through lawyer, Sekou Gary, has informed the public that there may be issues with the Cuban's promotional ties to Top Rank and Arena Box.
Fact: Top Rank Promotions, lead promoter for the April 14th bout, has not provided any media outlet documents proving that Gamboa had agreed to a fight with Rios.
Now, the opinions of skeptic, pessimist boxing fan like myself:
Opinion: This fight never made sense, with Gamboa going up in weight, and Rios having to battle weight to fight again at the 135 pound limit again.
Opinion: With an April 14th date marketed by HBO, and with Brandon Rios available, Top Rank is in a strong position to feed the network and fans a garbage fight with a cheaper and easier opponent.
Opinion: Most will look at Rios as a tough guy, and think Gamboa is difficult to deal with and avoids fights; a great public relations position for Top Rank, if they are in the process of losing Gamboa.
Looks like a great game of bait and switch by Top Rank, with fans being left disappointed and hungry for action, again.

A teen stowaway has been found dead in the wheel well of a U.S. Air Force plane. The young teen was not found during inspections upon landing at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, but during a later inspection for maintenance purposes at the same base, according to the New York Post on July 30.
While inspecting the plane, an orange piece of cloth was discovered hanging out of a compartment and when the maintenance workers pulled on the cloth, they discovered a body was attached. There was a two-day delay in announcing this death to the public so that the body could go through an autopsy.
As part of the autopsy, the body was checked for communicable diseases, since the plane was on a routine mission in Africa and an Ebola outbreak in West Africa has killed at least 670 people to date. The boy did not carry the Ebola bacteria.
The plane made stops in Senegal, Mali, Chad, Tunisia and Naval Air Station Sigonella in Sicily before arriving back at Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany. The German officials took custody of the body and they did the autopsy, according to the New York Daily News.
The identity of the teen is not known and it is also a mystery as to where the boy slipped into the wheel well, but some officials believe he might have crawled into the compartment in Mali. The teen looks to be of African descent, but they have not identified him as of today.
While the teen was more than likely just a stowaway on his own, this is considered a serious security breach. The air fields that the plane uses in some of the more rural countries do not have the same type of security that is found in the U.S., but the plane is heavily guarded while on the ground in these countries.
An investigation is on-going as to how the boy managed to slip on board unnoticed. This teen was not as lucky as the man from Somali that survived in a wheel well of a jet that left San Jose International Apart in California and landed in Hawaii. The Somali man miraculously survived this flight, which made headlines a while back.

History Channel Pulls 'The Kennedys'
The History Channel announced that it has canceled plans to broadcast "The Kennedys," a highly-anticipated miniseries about the storied political clan.
"Upon completion of the production of The Kennedys, History has decided not to air the 8-part miniseries on the network," the network said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. "While the film is produced and acted with the highest quality, after viewing the final product in its totality, we have concluded this dramatic interpretation is not a fit for the History brand."
The miniseries, developed by "24″ co-creator Joel Surnow, features Greg Kinnear as John F. Kennedy, Katie Holmes as Jackie Kennedy, and Barry Pepper as Robert F. Kennedy. Even before filming began, it had come under fire from critics on the left and the right over charges of accuracy and fairness. (John F. Kennedy adviser Theodore Sorenson had called the script "malicious.") The show had been scheduled to air on The History Channel in the spring.

Well look what we have here, it seems as if that $150 Android tablet from Augen that made a splash when it appeared in a Kmart circular is not entirely on the up and up. According to Google, Augen has used a pirated version of Android. What, isn't Android open source and free for anyone and everyone to use? Well, sort of. The operating system itself is open source, however there are some goodies included by Google that are not. Namely the real goodies such as the access to the Android Market. According to Google;
"Augen included proprietary Google software in their product via an unauthorized vendor. Google only licenses its software to partners and OHA [Open Handset Alliance] members directly"
I guess Augen has some explaining to do. In the meantime, the Augen78 Android tablet is not likely to be available at your local Kmart in the meantime.

WebRTC Summit Early Bird Savings here!
There are many potential applications for WebRTC and for many interoperability is not a requirement. However, this does not mean that there is not a need for interoperability, particularly at the signaling level, for other applications.
Many people have dismissed interoperability as a consideration when using WebRTC - often due to the fact that their favoured use-cases do not require it (and in some cases are even hampered by it). In his session at 2nd WebRTC Summit, Peter Dunkley, Technical Director at Acision, will look at the other side and discuss the case for interoperability and explain how WebRTC can be used to enhance and extend existing services in a way provides benefits to service providers and their customers.
He will conclude with a look at some of the open-source options available today for building interoperable WebRTC applications.
Explore WebRTC Summit Sponsorship & Exhibit Opportunities !
Speaker Bio
Peter Dunkley is Technical Director at Acision. He graduated from The University of Edinburgh in 2000 with a BSc (Hons) in Computer Science. After graduation Peter worked on a PSTN switch developing signalling stacks for SS7, ISDN and similar protocols and creating advanced routing and service applications. Since 2005 he has worked mainly with SIP first leading a team developing a PSTN gateway and then managing the development of a SIP Application Server. Peter joined Crocodile RCS in September 2010 and has made numerous contributions to the Kamailio open source SIP Router project (particularly in the areas of presence, WebSocket, MSRP, and SIP Outbound) since then. Peter is one of the authors of the MSRP over WebSocket draft (draft-pd-dispatch-msrp-websocket) and is a contributor to several open-source projects.
