Nice campground. Very quiet, no playground. Has beautiful views of Lake Cumberland from every site, but no access except boat ramp (no swimming) and stairs at far end of campground. Water up, lots of trees and trash floating by shore, but some families swam off the steps anyway. Really good swimming spot not far at Pulaski County Park. Basically in downtown Somerset, great location. But, really steep hill to get to it, and if you meet someone else towing, narrow road. Would not go back just because of the hill and lack of good access to water for swimming. I have a 16 year old, 30 ft class A, and was not comfortable with the hill. One weird thing, the water and electric are at what I would consider the front of the site, in this instance, on the lake side. So, if I had backed in as expected, my door and awning would have faced the road, not the nice view. So I pulled in forward and used extensions. Believe most of the sites are like that. The dump is at the top of another steep hill. By the time you are at the dump, your vehicle is headed back downhill. I dumped at General Butler State Park, not far from there. $3, and totally flat. - solo woman

Mostly lakefront, but not lake access sites. You gotta drive to a loop at the end of campground and turn around back towards gate in order to back into site. Sites mostly level. Dump station is the cockeyedest set up I ever seen. It's up a short steep hill which can only be approached from outside the gate. Most units must be parked slightly down hill in order to dump. Fairly decent CG once you get past the traffic flow and dump station set up. I would not recommend it for long trailers or 5th wheels. We in a 30-footer and it was near maximum turning length for the roads. - ebaldy

There is a very steep, windy hill to go down to the campground. Be careful of boats coming up and the reverse on exiting. Most sites have at least a view of the lake. All sites are gravel with a fire ring and water and electric only. Some sites are up a steep hill by the shower house. This is also where the dump station is located. Large campers cannot get up the hill. The showers are old with timed water but clean. A button has to be pushed frequently to get the water to flow. Some visitors are very inconsiderate and leave their cars and boats on the road with little room for campers to get through to their spots. The host and volunteers are very nice. - DisneyGirl

U.S. Army Corp of Engineers campground on the Cumberland Reservoir. Newly remodeled sites. For a remote camping experience with boat ramp to the reservoir close by, this campground can provide it. Water and electric only, gravel sites. A dump station is on site, but requires some tight maneuvering to back into position. Roads to campground are narrow, paved, curvy and hilly. Quiet campground, with a host couple on site. Reservoir, with water on 3 sides. There is a newly equipped modern playground and some picnic tables around. But, not a lot of places to hike near the campground. The road out of the campground goes up a long, steep hill. We were visiting nearby relatives whose cabin was 3 miles away. Camped 3 nights. No TV reception. Some cell phones will work, Sprint will not. - BobbyH

Clerk at registration office too slow, taking about 20 minutes per person, even with the waiting line growing. Extremely congested parking when you wait to register, you have to partially block the road as traffic goes inches by. No one to take us to campsite, had very hard time locating campsite, hard to read map & site numbers not visible from road, had to get out and hoof it to locate site. Commodes in men's restroom dirty. Grounds nicely mowed but some trash that could have been picked up, also trash at vacant sites. - rdkeith

The price increase of $50 (to $210) per week makes this park a much less favorable place to stay. We've stayed here many times in the past. There are several other parks in the area much less expensive. I was disappointed at the number of very loud motorcycles here this time. Park seems to be moving towards more long-term residents. No trees so excellent satellite reception. - davedopp

A nice clean campground near Woodson Bend. Management very friendly and helpful. Very quiet. Relatively level sites, mostly gravel with some grass spots. I would stay there again. - coolz4

We stayed here for the month of September and we had a great time visiting the area and making new friends. It is a beautiful and spacious RV Park, and very well maintained. The restrooms and showers were clean and spotless. Everyone at the RV Park was friendly and social. We would recommend this Park to everyone who would like to visit the Lake Cumberland area. - joanne hitch

This is a wonderful park that we enjoy staying at, on an island in Lake Cumberland. Most of the sites are down in the trees with a few open and sunny. Some sites have an electrical box that has to be shared, with 50 amp and 30 amp for whoever gets there first. Easy to access laundry facilities. Lots of shopping about 10 miles to the North in Somerset. The only downside with this park are the never ending train whistles, and we love trains. Burnside is actually listed as a top place to watch trains, in some railroad books, but it's a major crew changing point and there are whistles all night long. We usually have to have the windows closed, fans on, even earplugs, to get a good nights sleep. The Stearns scenic railroad is also about 25 miles to the South. It is a beautiful resort State Park however, with a huge marina nearby. The sound from the train seems to travel from the large bridge across Lake Cumberland,down the water, to where the park is. - elduque

We got to campground on a saturday evening. It was busy, but still had plenty of empty spaces left. When we looked at camp map online we thought we were getting a spot towards the rear of the campground and when we got there it was a spot up front. It was decent, but right up on another campsite. We had to share electrical box with next campsite and it looked like some of the other sites were like that also. Great campground if you are in a group or owned a boat for sure. We hiked some trails in the area, but drove some to get to them Our site we used 50 ft of water line to hook up and basic for electric. Overall the staff was friendly and helpful to us. We stayed in a 21' travel trailer and will stay here again if we get a chance. - kycamper02
May 2012 - $17.00
Weekday rate of $19 less 10% senior discount, tax included. We had a 50 amp, water, paved back-in site. Hookups tend to be in between sites and may need extra length to reach. A good selection of level sites. TV via bat-wing was poor, 4 PBS type stations, no networks. Verizon cell and broadband both very good. The water at dump station was either off or not working, used the site next to it to rinse hose. Golf course looked very nice, but weekday rate of $39.75 had us looking elsewhere. Dry county so BYOB; the End Zone ($ pizza & pub style food) and Gauthries ($$$ great steaks) in Burnside both serve but not on Sundays. - Bob and Inga

There are two areas in which one can camp at Conley Bottom Marina. One area has a full service hook-up plus cable. The other area houses both primitive and RV sites with electric and water. The Sassafras area offers full service and the sites are spaced further apart than the ones in the main campground. Conley Bottom is in the process of replacing old electric boxes and water spigots which have added to the aesthetic of the camping sites. Both camping areas offer a beautiful view of Lake Cumberland. We enjoy camping there from April to October but our favorite time to camp is during the Halloween Campout. Most campsites decorate for the occasion. There are also "extras" during this time such as the chili cook-off, a golf cart parade (the only time golf carts are permitted), and live entertainment. - 2emsmom

I stayed for a reduced price in their off season. I was the only camper in the W/E loop, but there were several in FHU area. Level, shady sites overlook several boat mooring buildings and the marina with store, cafe, and restrooms. Looks to be a busy place during summer. Well maintained and everything in working order. I used the on-site laundry. - T

It is a typical KOA as for camp site type description. The good: Friendly people, nice looking camp ground, GREAT spots for tent campers. A nice bath house AT THE STORE! Away from background highway noise, which is a plus for me, but takes some side road travel to get to, but scenic. The Bad: The description given on their home site didn't seem accurate during my stay. No lake view sites, even if the lake is 30 feet low. I only saw 2 employees at any given time during the week. The counter clerk had to close the store while she cleaned the bathrooms. So I don't see how they can prepare a meal for anyone at their site much less an open area. I also saw no sign of scheduled activities. Heck I didn't even see a rack of brochures with things to do in the area. I was told they are in their slow season. As the other rater stated, the game room isn't much and has broken down games in it, and the 2nd bath house underneath, lets say I got to take a peak when I was able to force the unlocked warped door open, I rather use an outhouse. For Wi-Fi you do have to sit at the store to get it. And the cable TV! Let's just say you would get better reception with mouse ears, so take plenty of movies. The pool looked inviting from a distance, but it too needs repairs, and when you got closer the surface was coated with bugs every time my family or I went there. I was told the person who owns the camp also owns the Marina about a mile away. Now they cook and serve food there, but I didn't try it. So for those of you that like it perfect, this isn't the place for you, I on the other hand will go there again, maybe, for a rough it in my RV weekend for the scenery and quiet. - rickbauer
Jul 2012 - $27.00
Absolutely the worst I have ever seen in every category. The sites were in need of grading so it was impossible to level the trailer. The facilities were very run down. It seemed that the camp is actually a trailer park for RV storage. There was nothing for kids to do that was not run down or broken, game room etc. We were told the local Marina owner also owned the KOA and used it for what amounts to a fishing camp.This place is a KOA in name only. - bstaff
May 2012 - $26.00
Lots uneven and utilities quite a ways in the rear. The clubhouse looked shabby and the restrooms underneath it were definitely not even useable. Others near office OK. Wi-Fi only available if you sit outside the office building. For travel-through campers such as we are, this park is definitely a challenge to find. - cmclark

This was our first visit to Holly Bay Campground, and boy were we pleased with this campground! The campground is very spacious and heavily forested throughout - to the point of barely seeing the campsite next to you. Laurel Lake borders nearly three sides of the campground, but with the woods all around, it is hard to see the water from the campsites. The good thing is that there is a gorgeous, shaded hiking trail that goes down and around part of the lake.
This has become our favorite campground to visit as it is the most scenic, clean, and quiet we have been to. - Mcoffman

The Heart of Minnesota Animal Shelter of McLeod County is devoted to the care of unwanted, stray or abused animals in the form of providing veterinary care, housing and adoption in the McLeod County area. We are further devoted to the education of the public regarding animal care and overpopulation.
Web Site! Check out our web site at www.heartofminnesota.org .
Read the latest newsletter, find information about adopting a pet, obtain information about our annual events, and volunteer opportunities.
We've lowered our prices on kittens to $49 with a spay/neuter deposit of $50 if the kitten is under 6 mos of age. Once you provide proof that the kitten has been spayed or neutered, we will mail the deposit back to you. We have kittens of all shapes, sizes, and personalities.
We need foster homes for dogs and cats. All of our animals can benefit from a vacation from the shelter. Some of our teenage kittens have spent their whole lives in cat condos, and never had the chance to claim a chair as their very own. If you don't have time to volunteer man hours, volunteer your lap for petting kitties. Give a shelter kitty a break and welcome them into your home. Help bring that shy kitty out of his shell so he's more adoptable. We also have plenty of dogs that could use extra obedience training and a change of scenery from the shelter. Teach a shelter dog new tricks, and help socialize them for their furr-ever family. Please contact us at email@example.com or call us at 320-234-9699 if you are interested in this opportunity!
Bring your recycled aluminum cans to the trailer at the shelter. All the money earned from recycling benefits the animals!
We are always looking for sponsors for our pet of the week ads that appear weekly in the Hutchinson Leader Shopper. Please contact us if you are interested in sponsoring one of our animals. It's a great way to get the word out about our available animals. It's $25 to sponsor a pet for a week. Want for that someone that has everything? Mother's Day or Father's Day? Graduation gift? Sponsor a pet-of-the-week in their honor.
We can always use more man power. If you are interested in volunteering, please stop by our main building during adoption hours and fill out a volunteer application. If you have a talent, we can use it...if you don't want to work directly with the animals, we have plenty of behind-the-scene projects available too.
We are currently looking for two coordinators for our annual pet walk (held in the spring). If you are interested in either of these volunteer opportunities, please contact us.
DONATE Online today.
Our adoption hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, and Saturdays: 1:00pm to 5:00pm
We are located just outside the main entrance of the McLeod County Fairgrounds in Hutchinson. Our address is 880 Century Ave.

PressestimmenInternational Journal of Radiation Oncology, Volume 63, Issue 2 -- "These are exciting times for the specialty of radiation oncology, which is now ushering in the emerging field of SBRT. This book is a timely and welcome addition to the radiation oncology literature because it is the first to address the current state of the art of SBRT. The book features an eclectic list of contributing authors, from a large number of academic centers, and over 100 high-quality illustrations that effectively supplement the text throughout the book. This book is a good value and deserves serious consideration for inclusion in the library of anyone wanting to be at the cutting edge of SBRT."

by Halogen on April 13, 2010
"Luxury Goods Brand LVMH Sees Sales Soar" (GuardianUK)
A surge in demand for expensive jewellery, clothes, perfume and champagne has sent sales soaring at luxury goods firm LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton. LVMH saw revenues jump by 11% in the first three months of this year to €4.472bn (£3.9bn). Sales of its jewellery and watch brands, which includes Tag Heuer and Zenith, leapt by 33% compared with a year ago when the economic downturn hit consumer spending.
"Bank of America to Spend Less on Traditional Outlets" (AdAge)
In an effort to shore up its ailing brand, Bank of America is doubling spending on digital platforms, but as a result will be spending less on traditional outlets, namely TV and print. "We're not abandoning any of those forms of media," Head of Marketing Claire Huang told an audience at Advertising Age's Digital Conference today. "But we're realizing that digital not only allows you to provide information, you can have real, live connections."
"YuMe Includes Silverlight" (MediaPost)
Video ad network YuMe on Tuesday is expected to announce that its ACE ad platform now supports Microsoft's Silverlight plug-in media player.

Monty, do not use the 1.7 tip, it will create trapped solvents in the clear and probably more orange peel anyway. I would say "try it" being you are doing test panels, but it could make for a smoother surface and could be mistaken for a better job. However, as I said, it will not atomize the clear enough and you will end up with trapped solvents only to cause die back and shrinkage later.
The very first thing I would think about is the air pressure. Believe me, if it says 43 lbs, you need AT LEAST 43 lbs, and a little more is even better. I say this without knowing what compressor and air system you have. I assume you are at home with a smaller compressor and possibly an improper piping system. This usually means inadequate CFM. The "V" in HVLP is "Volume" CFM is volume, the "H" is "High" so you need a High Volume of air for the HVLP to work. If your compressor can't keep up with the volume you are simply not going to atomize your clear. So "bumping up" the pressure (the "P" in HVLP) is likely needed to also bring up the CFM.
Basics of Basics Atomization
By Brian Martin
Being HVLP and low VOC products are the way the industrys going I will be referring to them in this discussion on painting and paint guns. Most all basic issues dealing with HVLP can be applied to conventional guns, atomization is atomization. The HVLP just arrives at it differently.
The object of the spray gun is to break up the primer/sealer/paint/clear (I will call this PSPC from here out) into small particles and lay them in neat little rows on the panel being PSPRed. So the whole outcome rests on how well the gun is doing this. Picture the droplets of PSPC coming out of the fluid tip of the gun and then the air slapping them into smaller droplets.
You have two things that help you with this process, air and solvent. Solvent can mean something that is already in the PSPR from the manufacture or something the manufacture has told you to add to it. By the way, you should always mix in proper ratios as instructed in the tech sheet. The thinner (less viscosity) you get the PSPR or the more air you have at the fluid tip of the gun the more it will break up the PSPR. The target for you is getting the perfect balance needed. Too much solvent and the PSPR will have no body, fill, durability, etc. Too much air and you blow the PSPR everywhere but the car, poor adhesion, excessive texture, etc.
So, the answer is proper air supply and gun (and fluid tip) choice and how you adjust it.
With todays high solids-low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound, you know the bad stuff that goes up into the air we breathe) products there is less solvent. And with HVLP guns there is less air at the cap to break up the PSPC, proper air supply and gun setup is more important than ever.
FIRST THINGS FIRST, your compressor and air supply.
An HVLP gun requires more VOLUME of air to operate (the V in HVLP, High Volume Low Pressure). Now you may notice that your HVLP gun is adjusted at maybe the same PSI as an old conventional gun, around 50 lbs at the gun (many HVLP guns are set at much lower though) so where is the Low in PSI they are talking about? It is at the actual air cap where the air and paint come out. An HVLP gun has only 10 lbs at the cap while a conventional has upwards of 50! This 10 lbs at the cap is something you have no way to measure. AT THE CAP means at the fluid/air cap where the paint sprays out. It takes a special air cap with a gauge on it. This test cap is used by paint reps, air quality control agents but only a few painters. I have never seen on in a body shop. I say this because the instructions that come with many HVLP guns tell you to adjust to 10 lbs at the cap all the while they give you no way of measuring the cap pressure. There is usually a MAX PRESSURE stamped on the gun or in the instructions. This max pressure is the maximum pressure you can set the gun pressure and still keep the cap pressure at the 10 lbs max at the cap the law allows (in most VOC regulated areas where HVLP is required). So the VOLUME of air (CFM, Cubic Feet per Minute) is the key to proper atomization with an HVLP.
If you have a gun that requires 15 CFM you will need a compressor and plumbing that will produce that at a very minimum. There are HVLP guns that need as little as 7.5 CFM so you can get good results even from a smaller compressor. Air supply is a complete subject by its self so lets assume that you have the air supply needed and move on to gun set up.
So atomization is the key, but why? Why cant you just lay it out wet and let it flow, as an old painter will say. Picture a jar full of bbs, they will represent well small, atomized droplets of PSPC. The gaps in between the bbs is solvent. Now picture a jar filled with marbles, they will represent large, poorly atomized droplets of PSPC. The gaps in between are, you guessed it, solvent.
If you apply your PSPC in large poorly atomized droplets, what you will have is a film full of solvent. This can and will cause slow curing, shrinkage and dieback (the loss of gloss in the hours and days after application).
So, now that we have learned the need for gun set up, how do we do it? Lets start with the fluid tip choice. The newer high solids low VOC PSPC products need to be broken up more, so a smaller fluid tip is needed.
Basically you want the smallest fluid tip that will still allow you to PSPC the particular part you are PSPCing keeping the entire thing wet and in a fair amount of time. In other words a 1.0 tip would be beautiful for clearing one fender, but would be lousy to paint a complete. The application would be way to slow and the first panel would be way to flashed by the time you got around back to it. So you need to compromise, a 1.3 is a great all around tip, while a 1.5 though getting a little big, can get you by. If you read the tech sheet on the particular product you are shooting, it will have a recommendation for fluid tip size.
There are needs for other tips, for instance when shooting polyester primer you may need as big as a 2.3, but for many urethanes and epoxies, or base coats the 1.3 or 1.5 will work great. If you plan on using a pressure pot or paint a bus, all bets are off and we would need to study a little bit more.
As an example of the use of a 1.3 tip I did a test once that proved the point well. I shot two panels of metal with a med solids urethane primer. One was shot with a 1.3 super high atomizing top of the line topcoat gun. The other was shot with a 1.5 (or a 1.7 I cant remember) hoser primer gun. Three coats were applied and after a full cure (the one shot with the larger gun took MUCH longer to flash and cure by the way) the film thickness was measured. The one shot with the 1.3 tip was 2 tenths of a MIL thicker! The larger gun laid out the marble sized droplets full of solvent and when the solvent flashed the film shrank.
This however doesnt mean I recommend a 1.3 tip for your primer gun. It is only meant to make the subject of atomization easier to understand. Always refer to the tech sheets of the particular product you are shooting to see what tip you should be using.
Air supply is a subject that could fill many pages by its self. So we are going to assume you have that covered and move on to gun set up.
You need to tune your gun EVERY TIME you use it just as you would tune a guitar before you perform. This is done with a very basic spray out pattern test. This very basic test tells you how your gun is atomizing and you adjust it to achieve the best atomization you can.
Lets do a spray pattern test:
Set the fan width as need (you dont want to change it after you have tuned the gun). Turn out the material knob about 2 ½ turns. This is the mixture adjustment, kind of like the idle screw on a carburetor. The farther in it is screwed the lower the fluid to air ratio is and the smaller the droplets will be. The farther out it is, the higher the fluid to air ratio is and the larger the droplets.
Set the air pressure at the inlet to the gun to the manufactures specs. On an HVLP gun this spec is usually found on the gun and is the maximum PSI it can have while still maintaining the maximum 10 lb at the cap for legal HVLP transfer efficiency (68 %). You are now ready to do a test spray out.
Tape a piece of masking paper on the wall for the test. Hold the gun at a right angle to the wall, just as if you were going the wall. Hold the gun at a spread out hands distance (about 8 or 22cm). Pull the trigger to completely open for a split second and then close it. You want an ON-OFF wide open-completely closed in ONE movement. You should have a cigar shaped pattern with complete coverage in the center with fading coverage going away from the full coverage cigar shape in the center. The center should be fully covered without any runs. If you have runs, either you are holding the trigger too long, you are too close or the gun is simply applying too much material. In which case you need to screw in the material knob or turn the air pressure down. But most likely if you have turned the material knob out the 2 ½ turns and the air is set at the factory specs, you are just too close or holding the trigger open too long.
The droplets you see trailing off the center are what you will use to tune your gun.
Turn in the material knob to make the droplets smaller (and or raise the air pressure). The balance you need to attain is the smallest droplet size possible before you loose the coverage desired. In other words if you turn in the material knob too far, not enough material will be coming out to cover the panel! That balance of atomization and enough material coming out is what you are after.
Now, youll notice that I said, raise the pressure to the gun, while earlier I said to set it to manufactures specs. This can be anywhere from 25 lbs to 50 lbs. This gun manufactures recommended pressure is AT THE GUN. This means at the INLET of the gun, NOT at the cap and NOT at the other end of the hose, but AT THE GUN. If your gun doesnt have a regulator on it, then install one. This regulator will tell you at all times what the pressure is AT THE GUN, which is what you need to know. Be sure to buy a quality regulator from a paint gun manufacture. Some cheapie regulators are going to rob air volume from your gun because of restrictions within them. This is something most home hobbyist CAN NOT afford do to small compressors. If you dont have the air volume to atomize your paint, you are NOT going to get satisfactory results.
We are talking a very small adjustment. It is a fine balance in material to air ratio and a little more air than specified is okay. Even if it is an HVLP gun the inlet pressure recommended is to maintain the 10 lb limit at the cap. Well, about three quarters of the country has no regulations for HVLP use so if you go over the 10 lbs all it will do is atomize the material a little better. You may loose a little of the benefits of HVLP though. But remember you have a lot of control with the material adjustment knob.
After you are happy with the droplet size, DONT TOUCH THE FAN CONTROL. It will change the PSI at the cap and will change the atomization you worked hard to get.
Do this spray out every time you spray as material change, temp, and humidity will necessitate a spray out droplet pattern test. Good luck!

Straight to the point with that post title, eh? Well see... as you may or may not know (but really you should know because this site is the only one you read every day all day ever, right?), we've been in the raddest of cahoots with our buddies over at HP. We've been beasting out on the town and in the confines of our humble abode with the slick-as-all-get-out HP ENVY Beats Edition laptop. And the only way we know how to really say thank you and "see, we told you how rad it is" is by tossing one to a lucky reader. And no, we won't really physically toss it, cause that's a bad idea. But someone WILL in fact win this sweet slice of machinery.
Here's the haps as to how to score the winnings.
To be entered to win this contest, you must leave a comment on this post describing how and why technology and music make your every day life even radder. And you better make it beastly. I mean, REALLY BEASTLY.
You can be funny, witty, silly or serious, but one thing above all else, is to wow me with some piece of information or an anecdote about tech and tunes that knocks and rocks my socks off. Not necessarily saying that dropping the "Dre" name or some "Hey, HP is the ish" type of sentence structure makes you lead the pack in the drive to win, but hey... you never know.
Contest will remain open until 5pm ET on Friday April 8. If you have any questions, hit me here. Winner will be selected at my discretion and notified directly. Bam!

As I've simply been swarmed with a load of new developments in what some (and by some, I mean, me) may call a "rad little life", guilt has washed over me in the fact that I haven't checked in or dished out any new updates and thoughts (and free stuff for you) in regards to the HP ENVY Beats Edition system I've been rocking in my daily Beastonian adventures. And sure, excuses are a dime a dozen, but c'est la. So here are some words, and keep reading, cause I'm going to tell you something really awesome. Seriously.
The anticipated inevitable finally ocurred earlier this week. In taking great care of the Beats headphones (due to the "one piece plastic" curvature design), I'd always been a little wary of the construction, and thusly quite delicate with them... seemingly doomed to fail, I made it 3 solid months before, when in an act of simply and gently removing said 'phones from headspace, a gruesome "cccrrrracckkkk" was heard. Being that I was on the subway at the time, my heart sank, cause a train ride sans music, is one I never want to know. Valiant temporary electrical tape reparations aside (see image above), this pair of Beats now, sadly, lay unusable.
In lappytop news though... all's well in that world. I found a super slim and light backpack on Canal St (lol) that comfortably fits the machine and takes the weight off my back when in transport. Biggest plus and positive for me remains the speed and space offered of the Beats ENVY. I feel like I've downloaded more new music in the past month or so than ever before, yet there's still a load of free hard drivery to keep me amped.
Here's the important thing you need to know: I'm giving away a full machine, eventually, not yet, but soon. If you wanna "play like the Beast", then keep checking back here or follow me on the twitter. This computer is Beaston aproved, and I want you to get rad like me.
Ok, new mixxy edit thing time. Go!

I don't need to write a lot here, because this video will basically tell you what I've been up to over the first two weeks of my experience with the HP Envy Beats Edition Laptop and Beats by Dre headphones. How cute am I? And by cute, I mean ridiculous.
mp3: The Sounds - Tony The Beat (Rex The Dog Mix)
After a series of innuendo-icized hints and teasers via multiple social platforms (go ahead and stalk me on twitter and facebook...s'cool, I condone it), I'm genuinely honored and excited to share news of a ridiculously cool partnership that starts with HP, loops in Dr. Dre and myself, and ultimately winds up with you reaping a majorly massive reward. Say what? Lemme dish out some details!
Over the next few weeks, I'll be living and learning from the new HP ENVY Beats Edition laptop. Created and championed by Dr. Dre himself, with the true music lover, aficiando and geek in mind, it's designed to make daily net travelings and computed interactions seamless from thought to touch pad.
I've got a complete system at my disposal, along with a kickass pair of the Beats' Solo headphones, and in receiving such radness, will be documenting my experience with the package. I'll toss out tips on what I'm digging about the machine, I'll be frank about any features that strike me as "not so hot", but overall, WE (that's me, HP and your lovely eyes and ears) wanna really get into the "belly of this beast". That said, to prove how completely stoked I am (and also to show you that this is gonna be fun, mostly since you'll be laughing at my expense), my coworkers captured video whilst I opened the package yesterday.

mp3: Computer Club - Laptop Levitation
Knowing my love of all things Swedish, pop and radio-centric, getting an email from Sara Martinsson, host of the fantastic P3 Pop show on Sweden National Radio, was not only a shock (in the best way possible) but quite the beastly honor as well. With Martinsson coming stateside this month, she's featuring a ton of New York City music entities. She's already done it this past Monday, and on June 28, we literally get to jump into the mix.
Think of this as a programming note. A "hey hey you better tune in!" post, if you will, because Sara will be debuting my 10-minute minimix...fixed and fiddled with by my own hands!
While I can't give you the final file just yet being that it won't air until Monday June 28 during the 21:00-23:00 time slot (3 - 5pm EST), I thought it might be fun to tease you with some background on why I chose the songs I did, along with an intensely abbreviated track list of the songs I used.
Feel free to guess which songs you might be hearing. (save this link for next week's listening!)
I have musical ADD. That being, I cant keep listening to one song for too long...and fittingly enough, this stunted attention span of mine worked out pretty well when creating a true "New York City" minimix. The cast of characters I come across in every day life is mirrored in the below list of songs. We start in the 'hood I inhabit with a fun little fix/re-rub of the first track that shouts out "this is a story a [Astoria]", and we travel through London, Sweden, Sydney, Italy, South Africa, Berlin via Canada, and a few other international destinations before returning home. Beastly, indeed.

Strangely, Kelley wasn't the first to see the initial email. Instead, it was her husband, Scott, who opened the email on his iPhone, as it had been sent to the Yahoo account the couple shared, just as he was about to board a plane.
These emails were vague, aside from the threats. They were so vague, Kelley said, that "I didn't even know it was a female."
While the emails contained threats, Kelley refuted the popular belief that they specifically told her to stay away from Petraeus. A source close to Kelley added that the emails, which were fewer than 10 in number, grew increasingly threatening.
Paula Broadwell was a Petraeus biographer who, at the time, was having an affair with general-turned-CIA director David Petraeus. Speculation is that Broadwell had grown jealous about a perceived close relationship between Kelley and Petraeus. Her emails to Kelley led to the FBI's discovery of the affair, and to Petraeus' eventual resignation.
Kelley's complaint to an FBI agent friend not only resulted in the above events, it also put herself in the middle of another rumor: that she was having an affair with Gen. John Allen, the U.S. commander in Afghanistan. Both Allen and Kelley deny that.
Kelley also denies media reports that claim that she and Allen exchanged as many as 30,000 emails. While calling the figure "outrageous," Kelley said she believes her emails to Allen totaled in the hundreds.
In December, federal prosecutors said they would not file charges against Broadwell over the emails. It wasn't until the Tuesday report, though, that it became known that the case was closed after Kelley, after being asked whether or not she wanted to press charges, said no.
Kelley said, "I just wanted to let them [friends and family] move on with their lives and not have to relive it."
A slideshow including Broadwell, Kelley images is here.

Where to Next for India?
It's no secret that India presents multiple challenges for business—the logistics, overwhelming bureaucracy, official corruption, and leftist political influences. Which is why scores of people often wonder if it is even worth the effort. But from what we can see, the vast majority of the global Fortune 1000 companies agree that India is indeed worth the effort.
When the problems you are attacking and opportunities you are chasing match what India can provide, we also believe India is worth the effort. We estimate that as the largest IT services provider, India will add 15,000 to 30,000 employees annually, on average, for the next several years in anticipation of continued rapid growth in global demand.
Until recently the Indian IT industry has been the story of the widely differing fortunes of two cousins—the export cousin and the domestic cousin. The former has been fabulously successful and richly applauded throughout the nation. The latter has been regarded as backward and hardly worth the bother.
Now, an IT Leader
This perception is largely because of differences in the success enjoyed by the export and domestic sectors of the industry. India's total exports of IT services—dominated by domestic companies, not foreign-controlled subsidiaries—were worth $21 billion in 2005. In comparison, India's domestic market for IT services was worth an estimated $2.7 billion that same year—which is minuscule compared with 2005 IT services spending in other countries in the region such as Japan ($83 billion), Australia ($12.1 billion), and even China ($4.5 billion).
The intensive activity that supports an export-focused industry has distorting effects across India's economy: It changes the focus of local IT firms; it influences government policy (such as incentives and the establishment of software technology parks); and it hampers the ability of non-exporting local employers to find and retain quality staff.
In the early 1990s, the export side of the Indian IT industry got its big break when U.S. companies began hiring large numbers of skilled systems analysts and computer programmers. Demand for Indian companies' staff in the U.S. was driven to frenzied levels by three factors: concern about the millennium bug, the dot-com boom, and a corporate craze for enterprise resource-planning software. It is only within the past five or six years that India's IT industry was transformed from a source of labor for hire to the formidable leader in IT services it is today. Many Indian companies are not letting the grass grow under their feet.
Local Partnerships
Three works-in-progress serve to demonstrate the opportunities for foreign companies, for the domestic industry, and for the export industry. U.S.-based Intel (INTC)—which already employs 3,000 Indians at its Bangalore research and development center—has invested $250 million in a partnership with local manufacturer Xenitis Infotech to manufacture low-cost computers priced at $250—the cheapest machine for sale with an Intel chip. The target market is rural areas within India.
Domestically, Bharti Tele-Ventures continues to grow in innovative and unexpected ways. Bharti and IBM (IBM) are establishing an IT services business that seeks business from domestic customers.
Looking at the export side, all major Indian IT outsourcers have established beachhead offices in China, with a view to leveraging their IT services skills, not just in China but also in the more insular Korean and Japanese markets.
Great Global Potential
These examples illustrate that Indian companies can innovate, build capacity in areas not generally seen as a strength, and be aggressive in expanding—beyond a predominantly U.S. focus—into Asian markets.
These kinds of talents have put Indian companies on the threshold of what we believe could develop into one of the great economic success stories of the pan-Asian region: the great global potential of India and China together, combining the world's IT services powerhouse with the world's factory.
Anyone doubting India's capacity to play its part need only consider the source of its IT industry. In 1996, India's exports of IT services were worth about $1 million. In 2004, they were worth $13 billion. In 2000, India's share of business process outsourcing (BPO) was worth $148 million. In 2004 it was worth $3.5 billion. Any student of business knows what those kinds of growth rates mean: disruptive, challenging forces that can unseat rivals and destroy business plans.
First Steps for Building a "Chindia" Plan
These days, you must have a China strategy and an India strategy. It is essential to monitor how China and India create alliances in specific markets, alliances under what is coming to be known as the "Chindia bloc." The first signs are already clear in IT services, in automotive components, and in a few other sectors.
Increasingly, China and India will be the dominant economic stories on the world stage, a trend that may well extend through most of the 21st century. Despite mounting stakes, however, the quality of information, research, and advice on how to make key decisions related to China and India is uneven. Executives and managers need a comprehensive view not only for understanding China and India, separately as well as together, but also for gauging future threats to and opportunities for enterprise.
There are a number of important points business leaders should consider in effective decision-making:
•Accurate information on the current state of global IT competitiveness in India and China for their internal markets.
•A set of realistic scenarios that explores not only the possibility of continued rapid economic growth in India and China but also potential social, political, or other disruptions to these economies.
•A series of milestones that define pivotal issues in each scenario and of signposts that over time point to milestone outcomes to help determine when and where to invest, cooperate, compete, analyze, or ignore these countries.
Looking Ahead
The economic futures of China and India, of China and India together, and indeed of China's and India's future impact on the global economy leave many unanswered questions. Can innovation be outsourced? Is it possible to compete in Asian markets without piracy of intellectual property draining away the opportunities? Will China's and India's mounting successes in world markets create a protectionist backlash among developed economies?
The answers to these questions may well be among the most important for setting the long-term course and success of our enterprise. How you pursue them will certainly shape the quality and insight of what you find. China and India will continue to play a role in the future of technology and innovation whether large or small. For any business, working out the best way to partake in this future will be the key to success.

A Short Story (of a long night on the town)
A Short Story (Of a long night on the town)
He lived inside a big, amber bottle. It had been his home since he'd left his home, and he couldn't think of a place he'd rather be. Perhaps an upgrade: Napoleon Brandy; an exotic home. And though his tenancy was humble, he still found the small streak of vanity within him to indulge in a tropical cruise through the smooth seas of a fat jug Rum, once in a moonlight eve. But he always remained a faithful tenant to the P's and Q's that kindly lorded over him.
Past the bubbles and through the glass he could always spot one man. The man with a cloth in hand. And with that cloth he'd clean the glass that held our friends drink of choice; the hair of the dog that bit him. The man who cleaned the glass was a sprout man of great rotundity who -if not profound- was certainly profane. His favorite phrase to issue forth on the men who chanced to pass: "If what I got don't make you happy, then you ain't sad enough to drink." And those who dared retort, would kindly be told to "fuck off." And off they would fuck, straight out the swinging doors of a vintage bar in a nineteen-twenties town. Home of dime drinks and penny poker. But let us not forget our friend. On especially saucy occasions, he would order up a glass of whiskey. And it is not so much the drink that is worth noting, but the way in which he orders it. From within the breast pocket of his chaplin attire, he would issue forth a sleek, silver lighter. Flicking the lighter open, he would strike flint against the sole his shoe, stumble about a bit, and swim through the bubbly into his baggy, tattered pocket. Sometimes he would be gone for days on end; according to him. And inside his pocket, he would pass the strangest things, causing the most incredulous reminiscences (did he really have a family somewhere?). It was at times like these when he felt most like Humphrey Bogart; on the case and completely in control of his mental faculties.
Time flies like a man in a mid-life crisis when your searching for your last nickle. He continued to search the crevices until Jefferson reared his four-fatherly figure; almighty… and slightly corroded. This humongous engraving, standing as tall as three drunks and one wine-o, had become the responsibility of our friend, who escorted the author of independence out the way he had come. Time then returned to normal as the light broke through the end of the tunnel, bronzed by the booze the rays were destined to swim through; harassed by the man who feared natural light.
Climbing out of his pocket, he unlaced his shoes, and strapped the nickle to his back, making a valiant attempt to break over the even horizon of a week old pint. And then came the difficult part. The masterpiece chapter omitted from Moby Dick in which our friend sailed the silver-back nickle across the bubbly brine, and heaved his vessel across the threshold of the unknown, onto the counter-top of ignominy, though he preferred to think of it as a bar-top. Then, in his biggest, brashest voice, he would holler to the rotund master of malts, "I've returned from a great adventure with a story to tell! Perhaps you will indulge me in a shameless vice so that I may speak freely and in good company!" However, beyond a certain level of inebriation, these words are quite difficult to tie together with quite so much elegance. In which case he would yell, "Whiskey! You'd never understand!" and on the occasions when he did tell the story, the latter statement remained correct.
And so he would dive into the shot glass, and back stroke to his hearts content: the warm liquid pulsing through his stomach. This was a trip to town. A nice change of pace from the country-side kegs and coolers. And being a passive man, he had no need to worry about what the men about town called "angry liquor syndrom." all he had on his mind was what was in his stomach, and how to accumulate more. But within the town of whiskey, one is never alone. And sometimes, passive is liable to meet aggressive.
Swimming about the tides of bourbon love drifted the body of one mean inebriate, who had traded much of his buoyancy for booze. He was a brawny man with a broken nose; probably worked out in the oil-fields. Who knows? He did, that's who. And he didn't like it. And as a result, he drank to what some would call "excess" and would proceed to boil with rage. Why is it that the common disease of alcoholism should afflict the ones most dangerous to be infected by it? The virus seems to create a Parkinson's effect in the joints of the arms, which is most effective in the large arms of the working man, whose brain has given up on trying to control it's muscles long ago. Either way, this man came round swinging. But not without reason. For everything has reason, but most reasons would be hard pressed to describe themselves as "good". Any-who, the reason behind this man's action, was the song our friend was singing, which happened to be "I've grown accustomed to my bourbon".
As it happens, this bully found that song to be particularly disagreeable. For what reasons? Well, had I sought further inquiry on that subject, I may not be here to tell the story today. Either way, the story ends like this: one man dead, one in prison, and one caught inside a bottle. And now, let the story unravel.
As he was about to delve into his other pocket in the vain hope of finding one last nickle, our friend found himself being dragged under water and in the grasp of a very large antagonist who, by now, we have become familiar with, though we do not know what child-hood experience had led to such bad spirits. Meanwhile, the great round purveyor was clearing out the newcomers and crying out "last call". Our innocent friend had no idea what offence he had committed, but was determined to get down to the bottom of it so that he could continue uninterrupted his search for yet another elusive dead founding father. None of this concerned the heart of the enraged, and he screamed at the little tramp in his great hand. But all our friend heard was "Wah, wah, wah." Which was quite a shame because had he heard what the large man said, he could have promised to stop singing, and pointed him in the direction of someone much more offensive and worthy of a good pounding. Instead, he smiled, and offered his hand to make the man's acquaintance; an ill-fated attempt which took a turn for the worst.
His face was soon contorted into what many would call "mangled" and his glass had fallen onto the floor. From his drunken stupor, the bar had come sharply into focus for the first time in years, and the first thing he came into hard contact with was the floor. Needless to say, he missed his bottle. So he excused himself, and tried to hobble toward the door, but found himself unnecessarily blocked by the mad man's figure.
The mad man reeled back his fist, and swung forward, sending him back to the floor, and searching earnestly for what he had done wrong. In fact, he had thought about it so hard that he scarcely noticed the thrashing the mean man was giving him until it was interrupted by the bartender and his baseball bat.
It was unbelievable, and made the tramp rub at his head. It had been a while since he had seen two people beat on each other so unmercifully. He needed a drink, and did not hesitate to help himself to the stocked and vacant bar. A pint or two would do. And while sipping down on what he considered to be God's miracle elixir, he noticed an empty beer bottle on the bar top, and he was hit with an epiphany.
He hobbled over to the scene of the dispute, and introduced the bottle to the horrendous Huguenots head, which sent him lumbering to the ground; his body ceasing all movement. The heroic bartender checked the man's pulse, looked that the tramp, and shook his head hopelessly. At which point the tramp handed the bartender the remains of the bottle, bid him adieu, and walked out the doors, diving into the bottle he had left on the street corner. One dead, one back in a bottle, and a bartender who was soon convicted of manslaughter. A tragedy, really. Our poor inebriate would have to find a new bar until further notice. But for now, let this be a lesson that man must not be aware of simply his own actions, but the actions of those who swing the bigger club, for they will show no mercy. This is a terrible ending that I will change later.

Authors: Liu Feng, Florentin Smarandache
To deal with tough issues in knowledge management, the paper reexamines knowledge structure and has proposed a novel knowledge communication model based on the oriental cultural foundation. Knowledge discovery is not a simple addition or accumulation of information, but needs a feasible structural description. As an oriental approach, the paper constructs the structure on the bases of unity of opposites and their neutralities (as in neutrosophy; neutralities are the included middle of two opposites), which stresses the individualized self knowledge pattern or self knowledge structure. It signifies the dynamics in knowledge management - the principle of attraction between opposite natures and the neutralities in between them. It implies an identity in the opposites which serves as the impartial knowledge (since the opposites tend towards their neutralities), the completeness of knowledge, which is defined in the paper as imaginary part of knowledge.

Russell Krone has represented my legal interests for over twenty years. The areas of representation have included corporate negotiations and litigation, real estate transactions, community service, and personal matters. I would recommend Russ without reservation as an attorney with the highest level of integrity, competence and fairness in billing. Over the years, I have recommended Russ to a number of business associates, colleagues and friends and have always found their experiences to be wholly positive.
Posted by Gordon
Russ has represented me as my coporate lawyer for some 25 years. He has had a very high success rate resolving a number of corporate issues relating to various types of business disputes over that period. He has also helped structure customized contracts for numerous multifaceted complex transations. I particularly appreciate his willingness to minimize my legal costs by seeking reasonable resolutions as quickly as possible and his ability to review the outline of a unique transaction and structure a reasonable agreement acceptable to all parties involved.
Posted by Amber
I have never had the experience of dealing with a lawyer before. Russ Krone has despelled everything I had ever heard about attorneys. He stayed on top of my case, and kept me informed. He was easy to talk to and very informative of what directions I could and should take. He allowed me to make the final dicisions and what would be best for me.
Even now after it is more or less a closed case their are still some loose ends and I call Russ with whatever questions I have and still have to deal with with the my x-partner. He always answers me right away and is happy to find an answer to my problem.
Posted by Kevin
Russ has always impressed me with his professionalism and integrity. But the thing that I appreciate the most about him is his ability to approach a case from a measured standpoint. He fights hard for his clients without wasting their money. I've seen Russ advise a client when he thinks they have a weak position. That speaks volumes for his integrity.
Posted by Deb
We have worked with Russ Krone for the past few of years. Russ is professional, knowledgeable and hard working. It's been a long time since we had a cooperate lawyer who we felt had our best interest at hand.
Posted by anonymous
Worked with Russ on corporate as well as personal matters. Could not be any better...highest marks on each category -- trustworthy, responsive, knowledgable, practical and kept me informed. Would recommend without any reservations.

9 Bad Business Habits
Because they come to you so naturally, you may find nothing wrong with them. But you can be sure that if you're guilty of any of these nine habits, your superiors and colleagues are wrinkling their noses.
1- You're addicted to your BlackberryBeing organized is all very well, but if you spend most of your day updating and checking your Blackberry, all that organization is pulling you away from actual tasks. Imagine the business you could be bringing the company in the time you spend on your obsessive key-ins. This habit is even worse when practiced in a social environment — it shows an unhealthy fixation with work.
How to break it:
Work on your Blackberry at home or during your lunch hour.
2- You send out useless group e-mailIt's one thing to send out helpful articles and information to your coworkers. Clicking "Send" every few minutes and filling your colleagues' inboxes with useless comments and humorous forwards, however, wastes time and guarantees that your few important messages will be disregarded. Likewise, writing e-mail replete with acronyms, jargon or bad grammar will get you frowns. You don't speak that way, do you?
How to break it:
Send out relevant information only and ensure that the content of your messages is always clear. You can ensure this by verifying that each one answers the "5 Ws" (who, what, when ,where, why). Comments that don't require everyone's attention can be saved for personal interactions.
3- You rely on business clichsYou tell your coworkers to "think outside the box" in order to "take the low-hanging fruit" and attain "cutting-edge," "scalable" results — because it's "mission critical!" Like any clich, these business phrases have been used so much they don't really mean anything anymore — they're just prepackaged terms for the lazy communicator. The most you'll get out of spewing them are rolling eyes.
How to break it:
Say exactly what you mean and come up with fresh ways of saying it. Avoid overused lingo and dead metaphors at all costs.
Stop calling meetings for meetings and showboating...

has anybody ever done any business with morris weaver if so was it good or bad experience?
has anybody ever done any business with morris weaver if so was it good or bad experience?
My understanding he is a broker and resells other folks stuff.
Closing in on retirement.......
from what i saw on his website he has some good prices at morrisweaver.com i just got into bees this year and am always looking for a good deal just trying to find out his reputation before doing anything
When you are on the site you will see each piece of equipment is in different states.
They do their own bees but I think they broker most the other stuff. In short he's the "middle man". At least that is the way I understand it. Give him a try.
Closing in on retirement.......
I have done quite a bit of business with him (both on the buying and selling end) and has always worked out well.
Gregg Stewart
i've done business with him a couple of times. both good. he no longer keeps bees (retired), but he does still broker for others.
I "heard" Morris Weaver retired due to illness or injury. I have never met Morris Weaver, but have met the other brothers. They are all First-Class folks. I have been buying queens from Roy Weaver for several years. Weavers have been in the bee for business many years.

Honestly, Blog Aids kinda killed all momentum of this blog but more than that… it's us, the bloggers that have changed. We have been doing this shit since before Obama was president. Think about that for a second. Mad shit has changed with us. Our lives have completely shifted. The way people consume content on the internet has shifted. Our tastes, interests, feelings, passions … all changed in these almost 6 years. Faraone is onto big things with his journalism career, he doesn't even write about music and honestly I doubt he even has time for it anymore. Marty is doing god knows what… The Dance I haven't heard or seen in like 4 years… DJ ON&ON is sober and settled down trying to be a father to his childs… I live in North Carolina for fucks sake and am busy as fuck with work… JKFGT is no longer JKFGT but now "Jeremy from PVRPLE" has finally found an identity and we can no longer throw rocks at him… George is the new guy and maybe hasn't really thought JTTS was what he signed on for… Stoor… Yukonn.. the bit players on JTTS that helped usher us through different eras, they had their shine but have moved on.. Knife you are kinda the constant which is weird. Don't ever change bro…
But honestly – maybe it's the traffic. Our web traffic has actually decreased over the past two years and I think it's hurt our desire. You can spend like 45 minutes crafting a post and like 10 people might see it. Is it worth it? I have no fucking clue… Do people care? Probably not…
We make no money on this blog… literally zero dollars. It costs money to keep this thing going which I generally end up paying for out of pocket — unless we are talking a redesign or something.
I have some ideas … but maybe we should talk about them offline? What do you think?

u guys need to sell a product or service. you can use to the posts to draw them in but u need to hone in on something like clothes or craft beer or hookers or weed strain ratings or even tee shirts or travel. something along those lines as long as its useful. ughh gets web traffic like crazy but only cuz they sell stuff too. don't u got like 5 more years on this website? incorporate it into another business opportunity and make it part of something bigger. i would take time money and research but it can be done. aren't u a marketing guy?

I like to blog when I'm actually looking forward to it and am getting some enjoyment out of it, which is pretty much never. I realize this comes in to direct conflict with the idea of virtually anyone else enjoying it, but that's not to say those two rare occurrences won't line up again, someday.
Also this blog has been through at least 5 deaths/resurrections thus far…it's pretty much an annual event.

I was born at the beginning of the great Depression of the 1930s when there was three times the level of unemployment as currently found in America or England. However, despite greater poverty, there were four FREE COLLEGES in New York City and free colleges in most large cities. Switch to England, 2010, and the government informed students tuition would double and there would be cuts in university spending. Of course, similar rises in tuition are occurring in the United States. British students are furious and over 50,000 took to the streets of London shouting their anger at this government assault on their lives. Some students stormed a Conservative headquarters and trashed the lobby, but the important message being sent was concern on the part of students as to why their generation must pay for the mistakes of the past. As Aaron Porter of the National Union of Students noted; "we're in the fight of our lives. We face an unprecedented attack on our future before it has even begun."
Prime Minister David Cameron defends tuition hikes on the ground students should pay for their education. However, did he ever consider dramatic increases in taxes on the wealthy? Did he ever consider making banks and financial institutions which help create the current economic disaster pay for their mistakes? Of course not, under no conditions can we damage the psyche of financial leaders because if they are frightened, they will stop working and the economy will collapse. How about a special tax for education?

Well guys, I finally decided to drink the Kool-Aid. My FNP-45 had been giving me some problems. The first few times it went to the range, rounds kept jamming in the chamber. The nose of the round would get caught on the top of the chamber. It did it with multiple brands of ammo. If you ever racked the slide and rode it forward with your hand, it would do the same thing. I also didn't care for the safety/decocker, trigger, and overall feel of the gun. I only bought it because I got such a good deal on it. The last time at the range, it still continued to jam, even worse than before (somewhere between 500 and 700 rounds). I called FN CS and they wanted me to send them the gun. They estimated anywhere from a month to two for them to look at it. It wouldn't really be a problem since the gun isn't carried often and I have others. I also read over on the FN forums that CS has gone down since the main CS guy left the company.
I made the mistake of going into a pawn shop to browse. I brought the FN with me just to see how much they would give me. They offered $450 and I took it. I think I paid right at $500 for the gun with shipping and transfer fee, so I didn't do so bad.
I've got a Glock 30 on the way. This will be my first Glock, but it will be nice to have something that I can trust for defense and "just works". I couldn't think of any other 45 compact handgun the same size as the G30 that would be good at the range and for CC. It should be here next week.
I'm already thinking about trading my XD-9 for a Glock 19.
Your eyes have opened and you are seeing the light. I know nothing of the FNP line of pistols but I do know my GLOCK 19 and 26 are flawless. I hope to add a GLOCK 30SF to the fold soon. GLOCK pistols are no nonsense, hard working, and reliable. They are kinda like Wolverine, the best there is at what they do.

Don't assume that just because it's a Glock that you can trust it and it 'just works', make that determination after some range time. No gun is perfect, I don't care what their advertising is. There are lots of guns you can trust by lots of manufacturers, there are also some lemons from each one.
Congrats on the new gun, I hope it's 'the one'.
As far as trading the XD for a G19, why? Are you having issues with the XD? Sounds like a waste of money, but I guess it's a personal decision. Just curious as to the reasoning there. Gen4's have been a big disappointment, even to the hard core Kool Aid drinkers.
Mattwestm - Congrats. I hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed mine. I found that if you spend some time with it, you'll be amazed at the accuracy you can get.

You will not be dissappointed! I have a G26 and had 0 issues! You are in trouble now though. Glocks are like Lays, you can't eat just one!
Glocks = just O.K... Old, dreary, plain Jane, striker fired, mags are terrible, no resale value, dime-a-dozen, etc, etc... Why would you trade one gun for virtually the same thing makes no sense at all?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I really enjoy my XD. However, as a CC gun, it's not quite as good as a Glock 19. The grip is a bit taller, same with the length. I believe the XD weighs a bit more. I've thought about picking up a XD9SC, but I'm not really a fan of the SC line. They feel bigger and taller than they need to be or something.... It's hard to explain lol. I also thought about trading it for a CZ P-07 to match my 75B, but the P-07s have had some issues.
I love my XDM 9 Compact and CZ P-01, I trust them both with my life... not sure why I have both as they serve similar purposes but I guess being a gun forum I don't have to justify it, right? :)
Get what you like to shoot... was just curious is all.
I think that's the big selling point of the Glocks, "they just work".

Congratulations on finding the world's most generous pawn shop!
I have drank the snub nosed revolver koolaid and the glocks haven't been out of the safe in a while. I own a G29, you will really like carrying that G30. Great purchase.
Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.
sorry about the FNP, have fun with the new Glock!. im a big SIG guy, but im looking to add a Glock 19 to my list.

Name Detective Eric Smith Honorary New Orleans Saint
On Thursday April 4, 2013 one of Jackson's finest, Detective Eric Smith was gunned down in the line of duty. This petition however is not about the way Detective Smith died, but the way he chose to live. He was quite simply a good man. Good men are not hard to find, they're just often overlooked. During his lifetime Detective Smith was a dedicated son, brother, father, husband, law enforcement officer and most of all.....THE MOST DIEHARD SAINTS FAN IN JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI!. Detective Smith loved the Saints football team so much it was a running joke between him and the entire department. He played so many pranks on fans of other teams they too would secretly become Saints fans. His dedication to the team was so well known, the local CBS Affiliate, WJTV eventually took notice and took viewers on a tour of Detective Smith's "Saintsuary", his lovingly decorated mancave dedicated to the New Orleans Saints. After years of hanging on to hope, Detective Smith spent the entire year gloating after the very first New Orleans Saints SuperBowl win. Help us reach 175,000 signatures by signing our petition asking the New Orleans Saints Football Franchise to honor our fallen officer by naming him an honorary New Orleans Saint.
Is there a cause you really care about? Start a free petition like this one and make a real difference.
