Posted by Richard Fichera on the Infrastructure & Operations Professionals Blog on December 5, 2013
I recently had a meeting with executives from Tech Mahindra, an Indian-based IT services company, which was refreshing for the both the candor with which they discussed the overall mechanics of a support and integration model with significant components located half a world away, as well as their insights on the realities and limitations of automation, one of the hottest topics in IT operations today.
On the subject of the mechanics and process behind their global integration process, the eye opener for me was the depth of internal process behind the engagements. The common (possibly only common in my mind since I have had less exposure to these companies than some of my peers) mindset of "develop the specs, send them off and receive code back" is no longer even remotely possible. To perform a successful complex integration project takes a reliable set of processes that can link the efforts of the approximately 20 – 40% of the staff on-site with the client with the supporting teams back in India. Plus a massive investment in project management, development frameworks, and collaboration tools, a hallmark of all of the successful Indian service providers.
From a the client I&O group perspective, the relationship between the outsourcer and internal groups becomes much more than an arms-length process, but rather a tightly integrated team in which the main visible differentiator is who pays their salary rather than any strict team, task or function boundary. For the integrator, this is a strong positive, since it makes it difficult for the client to disengage, and gives the teams early knowledge of changes and new project opportunities. From the client side there are drawbacks and benefits – disengagement is difficult, but knowledge transfer is tightly integrated and efficient.

Marketing Innovation Must Be Planned And More Ambitious
Posted by Mary Beth Kemp on June 14, 2010
- 493 Recommendations
- 2 comments
Many of the CMOs I engage with are adept at dealing with change. Marketers have to be adaptable these days, right? We're all playing in new channels and at different ways of interacting with customers.
But through my discussions with marketers, I've noticed two things: 1) Most marketing organizations are reacting to, rather than driving, change, and 2) marketers aren't reaching far enough.
Why do I call marketing reactive? Well, CMOs don't consider themselves change agents, and that's despite rapid changes in consumer behavior and the new possibilities technology offers them. Indeed, marketers see their own company's efforts at marketing innovation as middling, according to our September 2009 Global Marketing Leadership Online Survey (see figure below). I suppose that's to be expected. Marketers have a job to do, business to deliver, budgets to protect, and bosses to satisfy. Innovation isn't often part of their job description . . . but it should be.
As a first step to making innovation a more important part of marketing's role, CMOs must define their marketing innovation strategy. I've structured a framework and process for doing just that in my new research.
But in defining marketing innovation, marketers can't stop at "adopting digital,"" dabbling in mobile," or "setting a social strategy." Which brings me to my second observation. Even if marketers are most at home in testing new media channels, CMOs must use a broader framework to explore innovation. Marketing leaders have got to be more ambitious.
A marketer's innovation strategy must touch each of marketing's core compenents, or the four P's: product, price, promotion and place. And few go so far today. In the report, I've highlighted some great initiatives where marketers are focusing on at least one of those four P's. But it gets really interesting when two or more of the P's overlap!
So back out to you: Where are you innovating? Where will you innovate? What ideas have caught your attention?
Comment from email marketing (not verified) on Tue, 06/15/2010 - 06:21
Great points. I have worked with so many small business owners in NY and one thing that stood out, was their ability to adapt, change, and change course, in response to the market and the consumer.
Why Marketers Aren't Innovating
Comment from Jon Micksch on Thu, 06/17/2010 - 09:45
Great post, but I think you're overlooking the reason why marketers are having a hard time innovating.
The bottom-line is that marketers these days must have a degree of technical sophistication that dwarfs what was required even just 5 or 10 years ago, so there is a lot of learning going on that can be very time consuming. That, in combination with the incredibly rapid pace of change being drivin by tech companies, is making it very difficult for marketers to keep up with the curve, much less get ahead of it and innovate.
I think this effect is clearly visible when looking at the market for quality Search Engine Optimization professionals, where you have "kids" (<30 years old) commanding six-figure paychecks simply because no-one else knows how to do what they do or can keep up with Google, MSFT, and Yahoo.
Our organization places a heavy emphasis on technical skills when reviewing marketing professionals, and as more and more companies recognize the imporatnce of this, marketers overall will become more techically sophisticated and eventually have the capacity to start innovating. Until then, we're just playing catchup...

"I love these labels! I received wonderful help from the Tiny Prints chat because it looked like my daughter's name wouldn't print correctly. Through the chat option on the website, a Tiny Prints rep talked me through the issue and assured me that my finished product would turn out like I wanted it to. And it did! Thank you!"
"I Love these return address stickers. They are so sharp, the color, print and quality look amazing. When my friends received thank you cards from my shower, all commented. I will order many more. Cant wait till baby is born to pick out tiny prints birth announcements."
"Used these for my daughters' classmates' Valentines...just put a cookie in a little translucent bag and popped a label on it to seal it shut. They were a hit!"

And NO i do not want Tracks on my ATV, I have a sled for that.
My question is with ATV's and belt slippage in snow, My Kawasaki Brute force 750 is good for about an hour in knee high snow and then the belt will start slipping, the case is sealed and it appears to be condensation sucked in thru the airbox. Traction is never an issue with the 27" mud tires but this belt thing is getting old. My buddies Polaris does the exact same thing after about the same amount of snow riding.
I have seen Hondas Run Seat deep in water for quite a distance on some of our trail rides and never have any issues. I know that the hondas do not have the same type of drive that all the rest do but how are they in the deep snow?
The Suzuki and arctic cat use the same type drive and share the same parts as my Kawasaki so I have to assume that they would work about the same.

I have 2 papillons (8yr old girl and 5yr old boy) that currently eat Merrick dry and canned. I rotate between the trial size dry dog food bags - Cowboy Cookout, Grammy's Pot Pie, and Turducken. About a month ago an employee at a local pet store(not my regular) told me the 8yr old should be eating senior food and the 5yr old could too. So I bought them a bag of Merrick Senior Medley. It gave both of them the RUNS!!! So I brought it back to the pet store. They went back to their regular Merrick dry and canned - everything seemed fine... Then yesterday my girl had the RUNS again. She will be getting pumpkin with their food for now. They were fine for MONTHS on Merrick, I want to try a different food for them or maybe the Merrick Wilderness Blend (I heard it was good for dogs with sensitive stomachs).
The owner of my regular pet food store always gives me different sample bags of food when I go since she knows I give it to them as treats. They are a little picky... They won't eat Chicken Soup, Pure Vita, Canidae, or a blue bag (cant remember the name). My girl loved Addiction - La Porchetta. She could pick them out of the other samples I gave her as treats. They also seem to like the Royal Canin Labrador food (just as a treat).
I just ordered the different Orijen, Acana, and Merrick Before Grain trial bags, and a big sample pack/box online.
Is Addiction a good brand? What do you guys feed your dogs? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
PS - Cost/money is not really problem since they eat so little

Federal agents conduct immigration enforcement raids in at least six states. There were anecdotes on Twitter last night of ICE agents snatching up mothers from a HEB grocery in Austin, from a women's shelter in Los Angeles, and following school buses to grab parents picking up their kids. It doesn't look like ICE is targeting allegedly dangerous felons. I don't give a damn about the legal status of these people. What seems to be happening is fucking immoral and inhumane. The newspapers are even reporting that the actual legal status of who ICE is grabbing up doesn't matter. If people cannot produce papers immediately, they are detained.
This incident is chilling. It's uncorroborated, but I believe her. Check the rest of her time. It's absolutely illegal.

Serves 6 to 8
The slow-cooked flavor of this cabbage makes it an ideal side dish for a cold weather supper. Turn it into an entrée by browning vegetarian sausage links in a skillet and adding it to the cabbage when it is ready to serve.
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, minced
2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar or a natural sweetener
1 medium-size head red cabbage, cored and shredded
1 medium-size cooking apple, like Granny Smith or Rome Beauty,
peeled, cored, and chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1. Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, cover, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the water, stirring until smooth.
2. Transfer the onion mixture to a 3-1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker and stir in the vinegar and brown sugar. Add the cabbage and apple, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Cover and cook on Low for 5 to 6 hours, until the cabbage is tender. Taste to adjust the seasonings and serve hot.

the claudia kishi gift guide
for the girl who needs some tie-dye jeans and a lisa frank calendar.
Ready or not, here it comes! Holiday season has arrived, and that means tons of shopping. But let's be real: your average gift guides are boring, so we're going to do things the NYLON way with lists inspired by our fictional dream BFFs. Every week we'll be picking the best gifts for our movie muses, so keep checking back to find that perfect item for your friends or for yourself.
Let us start by saying this: who doesn't want to be Claudia Kishi? As the artsiest member of The Babysitters Club, Kishi has a wardrobe that launched a thousand blogs (like What Claudia Wore), speaks Japanese, and is besties with Grandma Mimi. She was easily the most fashionable member of The Babysitters Club (sorry Kristy), and probably the kookiest, meaning that her holiday wish list was likely filled with notebooks, tech gadgets, printed pants, and heaps of sparkle nail polish. So if you are a Claudia, or know someone who is, let us present the most epic gift guide for a '90s-obsessed technicolor dream girl.

The Best Ways to Collaborate
Posted on April 29, 2014
Group projects can be a pain. Coordinating everyone's schedules so that you can meet for an hour in the library the night before a project is due is no longer (and never really was) the most efficient way to get the job done. Luckily, there are now several useful tools and applications for easy collaboration.
Dropbox sits on your desktop and allows you to safely store your documents, audio, and pictures in a web based account. You can then access these items from any of your mobile devices. Additionally, you can create folders to share with your peers and colleagues for a convenient exchange of information.
2. Asana
Another free team-convenient application is Asana. This application enables you and your group to set tasks, get updates, share, and comment on projects over one interface. Each of you can be in charge of a certain task, but everyone stays involved by following each other's progress and offering opinions and advice. You can set due dates and create to-do lists, ensuring that everything is done on time.
3. Google Drive
Google Drive is one of the easiest ways to collaborate. Everyone on Wheaton's campus already has a gmail account so no additional downloads are necessary. For those of you who don't know, Google Drive allows you to create presentations, documents, forms, and spreadsheets. You can easily invite other viewers, commenters, and editors for convenient sharing, and now you can download the Track Changes add on for a more streamlined way of communicating edits and changes with your peers.

As soon as Microsoft announced that it would be possible to switch the Xbox One console on via Kinect voice commands, privacy fears began to emerge.
Some observers and potential consumers had expressed concern that stating 'Xbox on' to power on the device while in stand-by mode, means the console is listening for such commands all of the time.
Indeed if it can listen in for 'Xbox On' what else could it listen to, or even look for with its brand new 1080p 30fps camera sensors? Is it going to be monitoring our every move? And to what end?
Well, a report from Kotaku on Tuesday has allayed those Big Brother-esque fears, to some extent.
A Microsoft representative apparently told the site that Kinect "is not always watching or listening" and that it would absolutely be possible to power the console off completely.
Exactly what Microsoft means by this comment remains to be seen, but it appears, as SlashGear's report pointed out, that there'll be a difference between powering down the console and shutting it off completely.
A complete shut down would deactivate Kinect's ability to listen for commands, while a power down, perhaps through the controller, would be a stand-by mode where Kinect is still active. More like a sleep mode on a PC or laptop, perhaps?
Microsoft stated that the new Kinect is being designed with "simple, easy methods to customise privacy settings, provide clear notifications and meaningful privacy choices on how data will be used stored and shared."
From that it seems users will be able to switch off voice commands altogether if needs be.
The company may choose to clarify this issue during its E3 keynote in a couple of weeks.

What do you think? Are tomatoes evil, or are they ecstasy? Well, for me they are absolute evil, I just don't like them. Whether you like them or not you'll get a kick out of this site.
In "Evil Games" you can take your revenge out on tomatoes and shoot them till they are little particles of the once whole fruit.
In "Evil Facts" you can learn all about why this fruit it hated. This goes into health reasons, a dislike of the scientific name for tomatoes, and a whole lot more.
In "Recipes" you can find sauces that do not contain tomatoes like Alfredo sauce and Bechamel Sauce. They are pretty neat recipes!
Comments — here you can read rebuttals to the site (warning they are not censored), comment yourself, and read others who agree with the site.
Poll-Vote — this section allows your opinion to be gathered from a survey on the current tomato question. When I was there the question was "Do you like to eat tomatoes raw?" And your option was a simple yes or no.
Whether you adore tomatoes, dislike them, or you just plain don't care about their potential for evil you should still get a kick out of this tongue-in-cheek site. I thought it was funny and designed well.

Austrian Jew to take restitution case to Europe rights court
By Derek Brooks
VIENNA (Reuters) - A Jewish critic of Austria's post-war record in returning property plundered by the Nazis plans to take his case to the European Court of Human Rights after receiving a jail sentence last year when his own restitution claim went sour.
Stephan Templ, 53, an architectural historian living in Prague, was sentenced to three years in jail for defrauding the Alpine republic after failing to name his aunt in a restitution claim for a hospital building near Vienna's famous Ringstrasse.
The state argued that the aunt, Elisabeth Kretschmer, could have relinquished her stake in the building, which was seized from its Jewish owner after Nazi Germany's annexation of Austria in 1938, and that this share would have reverted to the state.
Kretschmer learned in 2011, two years after a state panel returned the building to dozens of relatives including Tempel's mother, that she had missed a deadline to claim a stake in the property, and she then went to Vienna prosecutors.
The Vienna court ruled that Templ illegally omitted the 84-year-old Kretschmer to boost his mother's share of the property.
Templ, who had been estranged from his aunt for 30 years, argued that not mentioning her was a mere oversight. No other claimants mentioned other potential heirs in the paperwork, according to Templ, but he was the only one charged with fraud.
Austria, which came to terms with its Nazi past much later than Germany, has had a complicated history in returning looted property to original Jewish owners and their heirs.

Liberator was made as a 30th birthday gift to Joe Short. As a double IPA, this beast employs a sizable malt bill, but it is the crazy amount of hops added to the boil every 4 minutes, for 120 minutes, that really make this beer special. Fruity, floral, and piney hop flavors penetrate throughout the caramelized malt profile. Liberator is a well-balanced, full bodied brew that has a bitter finish due to the post fermentation addition of lemon and orange zest.
The original batch brewed on the Bellaire system had 42lbs of hops in it, compared to Huma, which has around 20lbs of hops per batch. Today's Elk Rapids batches have up to 138lbs of hops. The name, Liberator, came from Joe's name for the Short's employees who carry out our company's mission statement as "Beer Liberators", freeing the masses from their misconceptions surrounding beer.

After purchasing my S&W 340PD I read a blog at http://tenring.blogspot.com/2005/01/one-from-vault.html A woman named Denise gave a very explicite description of her experience with the 340PD in .357 Mag. I was intimidated for a moment, I only continued with great apprehension.
My first rounds downrange were WWB 38 Special, 130GR. FMJ. A pleasure to shoot, even though double action only, @ 7 yards all shots were on target.Next came the Federal Premium 129Gr. Hydra-Shok 38+P. Felt the extra recoil, but kept the shots on target. Followed this with Speer 135 GR. GDHP Short Barrel HP. My .454 Casull SHR Alaskan has a little stronger recoil but much better grips. The S&W 340PD has no real grip, you are basically holding onto the frame and riding the lightning in the Magnum mode. I shot Mag Tech 158GR SJHP and PMC 158GR JSP. None of these were a pleasure to shoot. The recoil was extreme, with better grips it would have been more pleasant.
Bottom line: I was able to keep all my shots on target from 7 yards offhand. All shots were double action(of course) and this was the first time I fired this weapon. You can save $300 and get the 38+P 342PD, I was able to keep all my shots in the kill zone with the .357 with no real discomfort. I choose the .357 because I can manage the recoil and I want a definitive fight stopper. The 38+P is good, but the .357 Mag in the chest cavity is game over.
My photos of my targets will folllow this post(I hope)
The Pros: Concealable, lightweight, concealable and lightweight plus mucho stopping power. 12 ounces unloaded.
The Cons: Firing without sunlight the HI-Viz sight was nothing more than a black front post.(I have a XS Big Dot Tritium on my kitchen table)
The S&W Manual states not to fire a bullet less than 120 grains. Also says to test fire all .357 ammo, fire 4 rounds, empty the cylinder and check to see if the 5th rounds bullet has become unseated from excessive recoil.
FYI- All the .357 ammo I shot had the bullets come unseated. I will post pictures. It was not enough to cause cylinder lockup (prevent a follow up shot) but it was noticeable.
In the pursuit of science I shot WWB .357 Mag 110 Gr. for a control group. Results were the same, bullet unseated but not enough to prevent follow up shot .
Expended brass did not want to eject.(Get your first 5 on target)
My final opinion is this is a keeper! I will call S&W Monday and see if they recommend a round/load for this weapon that will keep the bullet in the brass. I jog/walk with this weapon in a belly band and it is almost unnoticable.
I did take an expended round, scotch tape across the primer and cycle it through the cylinder to ensure a primer strike before I carried it for PD. I have bought weapons that would not fire or feed out of the box.
This is a beast and not a weapon for the recoil sensitive. I will keep it because I trust the .357's stopping power(be it a human or a truck) and I feel confident I can and will get my first shots on target. Most gunfights are within spitting distance. I will sacrifice quantity and fast reload for lightweight and comfort.
http://<a href="http://img141.images...0803mb2.th.jpg[/IMG]
38 special, 38+P and .357
http://<a href="http://img85.imagesh...0806yv5.th.jpg[/IMG]
All .357 loads. 3 rounds hidden under pistol. Need a trigger job.(could'nt have been the shooter)
http://<a href="http://img141.images...0815ue2.th.jpg[/IMG]
Left, left and middle unseated. Pretty easy to tell, did not cause cylinder lockup(luckily)

How To Choose The Most Suitable Auto Repair Shop
If you own a vehicle, in that case, it is extremely vital for you to locate and pick a respectable auto repair shop. A good number of people know the value of owning a car which they can employ to go from one place to another without much effort. If your car is not working properly, it is very important that you can find the right professionals who will handle the immediate repairs which your car needs.
When deciding on the most appropriate auto car shop for your needs, make sure that you will go for the one which is in close proximity to your house. In this way, each time your vehicle is experiencing some troubles, immediate repairs will be available to you. More of this are accessible at http://visiontireandauto.com. Also, if you get involved in a vehicular accident close to your home, it will be easier for you to get your vehicle back.
Aside from that, having an auto repair shop that is just near your neighborhood will allow you to bring your car to their shop for its needed regular maintenance. Read more about this in the site at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_repair_shop. Your car's oil can be changed regularly and its engine can be checked on a regular basis as well. In addition, if your chosen auto repair shop is nearby and they have promos, you can access these promos at once for instance, their free car check-ups as well as their complimentary brake service. As a result, you will probably spend less on car repairs.
Nearly all car owners would want to find only the professionals to fix their vehicle. In order for you to be sure of your choice, it is important that the car mechanic or the auto car shop you are going to pick can present you with their certification. With this certification, you can make sure that your chosen auto repair shop or mechanic is competent and licensed to perform various types of car services like tune-ups, oil changes, brake repairs, and the like.
When you are on the process of selecting the right auto repair shop, make sure that you can also confirm that the warranty of your car will not be canceled. You will surely find various shops for car repair Lansing these days which are not qualified to perform car repairs, and if you will still employ their services, you have to expect that your car warranty will be annulled. There are various auto repair shops that your car manufacturer acknowledged, thus, these are the shops which you need to locate every time you need to fix your car.

The Essay is a daily personal piece submitted by readers. Have a story to tell? See our guidelines at tgam.ca/essayguide.
Not much exposes spousal differences better than clothing choices in the face of lousy weather.
With the grey season here, I've stepped up my walking regime in the hope that exercise and fresh air – if not actual sunshine – will help boost my mood. Like many, I am prone to the depressive doldrums of seasonal affective disorder, and to help keep my walking cure on track, I have enlisted the gentle encouragement and company of my husband.
In the face of high winds, chilly air and scattered showers, I hesitate to step outside, but one sardonically raised eyebrow from my husband will have me pulling on my boots. If he is prepared to walk around the block when it's raining sideways, I am certainly not going to back down from the challenge.
I pull on the fleece-lined jeans that make my legs look like stovepipes, a wool sweater and a hooded raincoat with a high collar. I top the lot with a huge cotton scarf, fleece gloves and a black-and-white newspaper-boy cap that just grazes the tips of my ears. I am dressed for warmth, at least by my standards.
My husband joins me, wearing a rain jacket over a thick winter coat. As we set out from the garage and are immediately assaulted by the wicked edge of the north wind, I tuck my chin into my collar, stick my hands in my pockets and set a brisk pace.
As we hustle along, I remind myself of a lesson our dog, Finn, taught me: There are no bad walks. There are, however, uncomfortable walks, and today is one of those. As we round the first corner, we find ourselves walking directly into the wind. I wrinkle my nose.
"That's a cold day," I say.
"It's not cold," my husband barks back.
"In my experience, it is cold," I answer evenly. I don't appreciate having my viewpoint summarily dismissed.
"It is not cold," he persists. He stops walking and looks me over from head to foot. "The problem is that you are not dressed warmly enough."
I keep moving, not wanting to lose either momentum or body heat.
"Of course I am dressed warmly enough." I shove my hands deeper into my pockets.
He shakes his head and trails after me. "You need a bigger coat, warm mitts and a Peru hat."
That's husband-speak for a woollen hat with flaps that tie under the chin. He brought a dozen brightly coloured versions home from a trip to Machu Picchu last year.
"A Peru hat would cover your ears and the sides of your face, and you'd be that much warmer."
I grunt, not wanting to concede the point. He's right, of course: Once my ears, hands or feet get cold, the chill spreads quickly and misery is not far behind.
"That would still leave my nose exposed, though," I parry. My poor, beleaguered nose. It is surely glowing red in hurt disbelief at the vicious change in the weather.
"I suppose I could wear a balaclava," I say. "Then I would look like a cross between the Michelin Man and a thug."
"You women," he says. "Always giving up comfort for fashion."
Tempting though it is, I don't touch the bait. We walk on in silence. Every so often, I break into a sideways shuffle to dull the brunt of the wind on my face and increase the blood flow to my limbs.
"You always do this," he says as we approach the half-way point of our trek. "For as long as I have known you." He blows out a long breath, then launches into a further lecture on how I should dress.
As we round the last corner and head into the home stretch, he announces that we are going to walk around the block one more time.
"No," I say. "I'm cold."
"Aha!" he says. "You are giving up. How are you ever going to defeat your SAD if you give up so easily? At this rate you will never get out of bed."
Admittedly, that thought has crossed my mind.
"All right," I say. "I concede."
When we reach our driveway, he marches me into the house. I allow him to re-dress me for our second outing. He takes off his own two coats and puts them on me, ties a Peru hat onto my thick head and finds the biggest, baddest snowmobile mitts in the house.
"There!" he says, pulling on the last mitt. "You are now dressed for the weather."
I just look at him, feeling like a three-year-old being prepped for sledding.
"You don't suffer from seasonal affective disorder," he adds brightly. "You suffer from under-dressed disorder."
I widen my eyes, stunned by his insight,
"Oh my gosh," I say. "You're right. It's UDD."
I pause for a moment, and then break into giggles.
"And that must make me an UDDer!" I laugh so hard that I generate enough endorphins to last me the rest of the week.
And you know what? I was toasty warm on the second lap.
I hate it when he's right, but I'm simultaneously grateful for his paying attention where I haven't, and for the extra clothes that will bolster my winter regime. And, of course, for the Peru hats.

Sautéed Pig Ears
I once heard that eating tapas while standing builds character. Going into a tiny dark tapas bar in Madrid and ordering parts of a pig that aren't normally consumed does too. Toni, owner and cook at Casa Toni in Madrid, sautées this chewy-yet-crunchy delicacy to order and tops it with a delicious bravas sauce. Greatness.

1902 was first year 9mm Luger, sounds like your thinking Red 9 Broomhandles
Marry that woman just don't tell her why!
I very well may have been willie, I didn't realize the 9's went back as far as 04,,I was thinking the teens was when they came out.
ok the germany stamp was required after 1912, part of the import restriction, lots of post WW1 german firearms have this stamp
nice pistol! real artillery Lugers go for a good buck, do the mags match, does it have the original holster
I am a member over at Jan still's Luger site artilleries are not my specialty so ask your question there, they love helping new folks
so for god sake don't clean it make it look pretty or shoot it, Jan still is the leading authority, they may want clearer pictures
Thanks for the redirect, Sprat.
To my knowledge the holster in the picture is the same holster she remembers with it when she was 9 yo (mid 50's now). There is only one mag with it and I tried to get a pic of the serial # on the bottom but those came out blurred.
I,m guessing but with the markings on the pistol be for the china's imperial army before ww2 ,cause didn't they use german arms . I seen pictures of them with german helmets on . Like I said just guessing .
Oh that's nice! I wish I had one. My father was asked by his boss in the early 60's if he would take a crate of lugers made for Sweden and try to sell them for $35-40 ea. Dad said he wanted one but that was a weeks pay. This one went for $3499!http://www.gunsamerica.com/962970889...Luger_7_65.htm
I used to have a Luger book around here someplace,now I need it, ya think I can find it? Hell no!!!! I though I might be able to track down the stampings for ya,,guess not, sorry I'm no help on this one.
I had a box of reference books that Pa had and I can't seem to find them anyplace,,not a clue where they went?????
Hope I didn't lend them out then forget to who,,,,,done that before.
the germany stamp was due with import regulation applied by american importers, it was heavily discussed recently on jan stills luger forum, this practice ceased at the start of WW2
again the venue is the site above they are the guys forget old books
JRS I looked for your post, also that holster is beat up but the luger holster repair guy jerry Burney can repair and replace missing parts
the answers are to be found on that site

Even more than reading, which may be shared as a bedtime story or a tale around a campfire, writing has always been a solitary endeavor. One labors at night or early morning, struggling with phrases and images, wrestling recalcitrant characters into line. (Although nothing's better for a fiction writer than when one of those characters begins to resist, gets the bit between his teeth or discards the reins altogether and heads off into her own unexpected life.)
One of the most profound of evolutions of the last generation, however, has been the gradual emergence of an active national literary community. Writers have come to know each other off the page, as it were. Thanks to the Internet and MFA programs and summer workshops, we've come to feel more connected, less alone. Conversations spool out. Poems and stories are readily shared. There's come this vibrant sense that we're not so entirely in it alone.
The Associated Writers & Writing Programs conference has become an important venue for bringing members of that loose-knit national community together in the late winter or early spring. What a few decades ago was mostly a few dozen aging children of the '60s who wanted to swap tales, drink a bit, dance a lot, has grown into a far larger and more serious affair of many thousands of authors, teachers, readers. And as you would expect from people who love the book, no feature of the conference is more important than the book fair. People mill and gather, wander through the long aisles of estimable journals and books, spying what's new in print and online, keeping an eye out for old friends or more recent students.
This year's road trip will take the KR team to Seattle, Washington from Wednesday, February 26th through Saturday, March 1. Our booth will be #1507, and I look forward to meeting writers we've published, students and participants from our workshops, readers with advice of all kinds.
We'll also have a special offer: the first 100 friends at AWP who buy a one-year subscription to The Kenyon Review for $17, 43% off the regular price, will also receive a pair of limited edition KROphones, very cool earbuds with a retractable mechanism and the logo from our KROnline and podcast crows (as in John Crowe Ransom). Snap up a pair and listen to our new series of audio podcasts available on iTunes.
And because we're celebrating KR's 75th anniversary, we'll have a reading from our extraordinary Winter 2014 issue. Jaquira Diaz, Charles Baxter, and Kimiko Hahn will read selections of their own work on Thursday, from 3 to 4:15. If you're in town, please join us! I'll look forward to saying hello.

Patch reproduces color picker for table cells from FCKeditor. Most of old dialog's code had been reused.
Everything seems to work fine, but i have some doubts regarding cell property dialog layout. Right now it mimics V2 one, but it has some issues (check IE quirks) caused by new buttons. I'm proposing relocating them below text field.

The patch is almost good for me, except:
- The color dialog matrix doesn't work in safari.
- Coding styles should be changed when migrating codes from v2.
comment:5 Changed 8 years ago by garry.yao
While it's always safe and prior to align with v2 features, I would vote for using float panel for this feature as Tobias mentioned, we could consider it after this got fixed.

Next patch fixes Safari 3 issue, which seems to have limit for table markup (?!), because it works with 3/4 of color table, but not with the whole one.
That's why i've delegated mouseover and click event handlers to table root, which reduced the markup and allowed safari3 to work.
I don't have this issue on safari4 (4.0 530.17 win).

Miller first appeared on the cover of vogue in 1927 in a blue hat and pearls, drawn by renowned French illustrator Georges Lepape.
The FLOTUS fronts vogue's April issue, speaking out against her husband's old khakis and his newfound adoration for stripes.
"David's death is a real shock," vogue editor Alexandra Shulman said.
Certainly, the big, glamorous profile of CEO Marissa Mayer in vogue has helped bring attention to the company.
At the ripe old age of 73, Tina Turner has finally landed her first vogue cover.
Mandolines were soon in vogue and most rooms could boast of several.
Processional dances were also much in vogue among that people.
Looking-glasses with frames of the same material were much in vogue at that period.
Dice and billiards are also in vogue—billiards to a considerable extent.
The actual achievements of the eminent women produced by the system of training then in vogue is proof enough of the statement.
1570s, the vogue, "leading place in popularity, greatest success or acceptance," from Middle French vogue "fashion, success, drift, swaying motion (of a boat)" literally "a rowing," from Old French voguer "to row, sway, set sail," probably from Old Low German *wogon, variant of wagon "float, fluctuate," literally "to balance oneself" (see weigh). Apparently the notion is of being "borne along on the waves of fashion." Italian vogare also probably is borrowed from Germanic. Phrase in vogue "having a prominent place in popular fashion" first recorded 1643. The fashion magazine began publication in 1892.
To do the ''vogueing'' dance or performance: She vogued in the West Village. Disappeared in San Diego with a porn filmmaker/ commenced vogueing official International Body-Building Federation poses. Such brazen posing! (1980s+)

You'll have to call around. Prices are different in different locations. Here in Memphis we have a junkyard that specializes in late model Fords. They sell 4 cyl motors for $400. That's the average price at most places here.
What I'd be asking about is how many miles were on the car, can you hear it run, and what else comes with the engine. A lot of junkyards will give you late model engines with the ECU and wiring harness. This prevents any problems that could arise. Not all do it, and if you get enough of a discount without it, I wouldn't worry about it. It is nice though. Removing the wiring harness isn't something that I'd necessarily take the time to do unless the harness in the car was damaged or repaired previously.
Also, ask about warranty. Most good yards will give you a 30 day warranty, which simply gives you enough time to install the motor and get it running. I'd also have money on hand for an oil change. I generally replace the rear seal in junkyard motor installs if the mileage on the motor is high enough or if the seal on the yard motor is leaking. It's about the only thing on an SPI that wouldn't be accessible with the engine in the car. Depending on the mileage and your pocket book there are a few other considerations like the timing belt which is MUCH easier to replace with the engine out of the car. I wouldn't worry about that unless the engine you're installing has more than 80k miles and the belt appears to be original or damaged.
Also, check everything that you can check in your own engine compartment when you remove your old engine- like vacuum hoses- to be sure that you're not going to install a good motor in a car that won't run right because of parts outside the motor.
To get it running, don't worry about replacing spark plugs- just remove the ones from your engine and the yard engine, clean with a knife or wire brush, and install the best looking 4. Check gap of course. You'll also want to keep all the expensive parts you can keep from your motor- like the fuel injectors.
Be eclectic.

I have read with interest Lance Rothschild's four-page response to my opinion piece on the MTN Radio Awards. I appreciate that he took the time but feel my questions have not been answered.

Before some people get a little further carried away with the MTN Radio Awards, I feel a need to share my views to open debate. Do the awards actually reward excellence or is it all an exercise in self-sponsored self-promotion?

2014 Max Steele Limited
3 Attachment(s)
After months of envy of others with their new Jeeps, I retired my 2003 V8 Limited and picked up a 2014 Max Steele Limited V6 with Luxury Group II on Saturday. I was going back and forth between the Overland and the Limited, but the dealership just gave me a heck of a deal on the Limited and I could not pass it up.
I love the panoramic sun roof, the HID Lights look awesome and I love the LED DLR, which I thought you could only get in the Overland and Summit. I really love this vehicle.
Been reading this forum for the last 3 or 4 months and picked up a ton of information so thanks to everyone for all the information here.
Here a some quick pics using my phone.
Man that thing looks sweet congrats, supposed to be picking up my overland blk/blk v6 tmrw with advanced tech package. What was ur cost b4 ttl if you don't mind me asking. Got mine at 45,330, thought I had a decent deal about 2.5 below invoice

Re: 2014 Max Steele Limited
Thanks man!
Sticker was $44,680. I ended up paying $40000 for it, plus free oil changes for the life of the lease. Lease payments are $466 a month, with just first months payment down.
I used a service called Inside Car Buying to get the low down on the costs of everything. They send you a very detailed report with a fair lease price and monthly cost for your area (I highly recommend it). I went to two different dealerships, the first one wanted to charge me $550 a month for the lease. The Inside Car Buying guide said I should be able to get a lease for $502.
Considering all that, I am really happy with my $466 per month with 1st month down and the free oil changes.
Re: 2014 Max Steele Limited
Looking good! :thumbsup:
Nice... I was able to get that price with true car... I was torn between the granite and blk that granite looks sick

Nice looking Jeep-Congrats!
Re: 2014 Max Steele Limited
Congrats on the new ride ! I picked up the exact same configuration last Saturday. So far, so good. No issues, except for hating the CD player, which takes up most of the center console.
Re: 2014 Max Steele Limited
Sounds like a great deal. My only regret was not getting the led drls on mine.
Re: 2014 Max Steele Limited
looking to buy the same Limited with options but those side mirrors in chrome just pissing me right off.
Jeep looks great!
What all comes in the Luxury Group 2?
I have a 14 GC Limited, black on black with the 20" wheels. I see a lot of people talk about the luxury packages but having issues finding what they all include.

Re: 2014 Max Steele Limited
Congrats and enjoy. I'd say you got a good deal at $466. I'm paying $399 for my Limited. Although I do have the sunroof and everything else that's included in the Limited, I don't have the Lux Group II like you.

Wiring Lights and Running Multiple Circuits in Conduit
Hi Guys
I'm about to embark on a kitchen remodel and will be doing all wiring myself.
I have a couple of questions about wiring can lights and running multiple circuits in one conduit.
Light wiring.
My current lights look like they were wired 30-40 yeas ago (some kind of AC with cloth insulation, which is very brittle). The hot wire runs up through the switch to the fitting. In England we always run the to the fitting and then a switch leg. is there a preferred/better way of doing it?
There will be two rows of 3 cans each running parallel to joists
My current plan is to run power through the two switches to a JB and split into 2 "branches". Branch 1 will go to the left 3 lights and branch 2 will go to the right. Something like this, but going to a JB after switch 2 and splitting in to two end of run branches.
Any problems with this approach?
Multiple Circuits in Same Conduit
I'm planning to run my one of my 20A small appliance circuits in the same conduit as 15A general purpose circuit. RHS of kitchen has cabinets (small appliance circuit) and LHS is empty wall (general purpose). The panel is on the far right, so I want to run both circuits through studs in pipe (in Chicago :mad:). I was planning to run the pipe at the height of the center of the boxes and use offset fittings in and out of each box. So my first box will have the wires coming in, and be pigtailed to the receptacle and back out for the small appliance circuit.
The general purpose 15A circuit in the same pipe will continue through this and 4 other boxes before dropping to 12" or so from floor. So, do I just run the 15A wires (uncut) through the box where I pig-tailed the SA circuit? I've never seen this done before, but have never owned a house with an adequately wired kitchen. :)

" Manufacturer: Ravensburger / Type: Card Game "
* Prices may differ from that shownMore Offers
Rush Hour is a sliding puzzle game played with small plastic cars and lorries on a grid. The cars are positioned according to a selected game card and then the player has to try to extract the red car by sliding the other vehicles out of the way.
Rush Hour 3 is actually correctly called Card Set 3 as it is only a supplementary pack, it cannot be played as a stand-alone game. It is currently selling on Amazon at £4.50. You must have the original board and the original cars from Rush Hour to be able to use this card set.
Card Set 3 consists of a box containing 40 more challenge cards. These are split into four categories: Intermediate, Advances, Expert and Grand Master. The pack is also presented with a white Limousine with silver windows. I think it was this flash car that first attracted my niece's attention who owned this game for several years before passing it on to my chilren. It is the same length as the Lorries in the main Rush Hour game, which means that it occupies 3 squares rather than the two squares of the red car. This means that the game designers have managed to make the next 40 levels much more challenging as you try to manoeuvre the larger car out of the traffic jam in some of the levels whilst using the original red car in some of them too.
If someone enjoys playing rush hour then this expander pack will add some new challenges and the fun of sometimes trying to manoeuvre the larger car. However it will not add any appeal to players who are not keen on the original version as the logical gameplay is exactly the same.
The cards are supplied in a small box in which they only just fit so the box got tatty quite quickly from putting the cards in and out. Unfortunately the drawer underneath the board where the original game cards are kept is not large enough to keep both sets.
The limousine was quite an attractive piece (as plastic cars go!) when it was first purchased but it hasn't stood the test of time very well. It has yellowed quite considerably and looks very old although it is not broken. Although some of the cars from the original set have lost some of their colour I feel that the Limousine is by far the most damaged from light.
In my previous review I mentioned that Rush Hour isn't terribly easy to store although you could leave the cars on the grid if you put it on a shelf but once the Limousine has been added that is not possible as it doesn't fit as the grid is already full. I keep the cars in a separate box now which is where the white car and the extra set of cards is stored as well.
I didn't think the packaging made it really clear that this was only an add-on pack; I imagine it is easy for people to buy presuming that it is a card-game.
If you can get this set of cards cheap enough it is a nice little addition to Rush Hour but I think the original game has good longevity anyway so unless you are a genius who always needs new challenges you may well manage perfectly happily without it.

Sliding glass doors
I have a 12'6" Pella triple sliding glass patio door with a 4' center slider.
Is it possible or feasible to replace the center section with a hinged door and leave the two remaining fixed windows?
I would doubt Pella makes a conversion kit for this purpose, but you would contact them for an answer.
I have good carpentry skills and thought if I could purchase a 4' finish dimension french set, I could install within the current framework of the old unit and retain the two outside fixed windows.
Just wondered if anyone has ever seen or heard of anyone attempting such a thing.
Is the middle door section is independent of the side panels?
Can you order a prehung uniit to fit the opening left when you remove the sliding unit?
If not, you need to deal with certain issues
1. The door sizes. Are the sliders 6'8" doors?
2. The slider sill.
3. Weatherstripping the doors.
4. Is the frame strong enough to hold hinged doors they were't designed for?
A prehung exterior unit will address all these issues.
Thanks for your comments and input Ron.
I guess I didn't fully explain my train of thought.
I was certainly thinking pre-hung in order to secure good structural integrity that would be required.
Yes, it does have a standard 6'8" ht.
Precise dimensions would be critical for an adequate seal.
My thoughts were to maintain the original framing above and cut out the aluminum threshold and shim the base accordingly.
What do you think?
The finish trim work does not concern me and is the least of my worries.
I am going to attempt to brainstorm this with someone at Pella, before I even think of moving this out of the planning stage.
Since this is going to involve a bit of engineering and improvisation, framing it out like new construction would eliminate surprises or unwanted results.
