[quote:Anonymous Coward 1110734:MV8xNTg3OTA4XzM0NjYwMzU0X0JDNjZDQUM1] Animal Control Post-Collapse As a devoted hiker and Nature lover, I've spent more time in the meadows and woods than most of you could possibly comprehend. Because of that, my respect for animals has vastly increased, because I've seen so many, watched them silently, followed them along, and come to realize the intricacies of their place and roles in the fabric of Life. Life persists because each creature comes to limit another species through competition for resources and yet it's existence and eventual death also foster and sustains other species. How wonderful is that special relationship between dog and mankind. There is a closeness there that cannot be defined, for it becomes a companionship and a real love and friendship. Despite that, when whims fade and when economic decline happens, those people who once were the companions of dogs will abandon them. They will turn them out of their home, or simply take them to be destroyed, because it no longer benefits them or the person must struggle to provide for them. When the SHTF, because food supplies may be quite limited, many people will abandon their "beloved" pets. Those they named and spoke to with such care and tenderness, who once were almost like children, will be "freed" because they think that dogs have an innate sense of hunting and stalking, so those animals will make their way as best as they can. The reality is far different, and most people know it. Their tamed companions don't have survival skills, any more than most children don't possess them. They've been taught to eat from a can or dry dog food, and this is what is food to them. They live on cushions or curled up at the foot of a bed or on a bed. They rely upon a human to provide them with water. Some dogs are involved in hunting. They have a built-in instinct, and then coupling that with a human with a desire to hunt, and a lot of training, then they can be quite adept at hunting and stalking prey. Many are used to retrieve prey in bird hunting. Other dogs have a "working dog" instinct, and so they're used by ranchers. Those dogs have an innate ability to be taught to round up animal herds that are used for livestock. Some of these then can learn to watch over animals that stray too far from the herd. However if left to their own devices and without food, such dogs could eventually become predators of those same creatures...mostly sheep. Other dogs have an instinct to dig. This behavior may lead to either burrowing for rodents or creatures cowering in a hole or tunnel. Other dogs like to swim. Those around these areas may connect that desire with their natural instinct and may on occasion take creatures from riverbanks, lakes, or streams like spawning fish like carp, waterfowl, mammals coming for a drink, etc. These make up a small amount of creatures among the many species of dog. Most of them have been so tame for so long that they either are too out of shape for hunting, or too docile, or too old to hunt or stalk. Yes, a slow moving young mammal might be taken, and so at certain times of year they catch one. Notice that many won't eat the creature, only knock it down and play with it until it's dead. In dogs, the main means of catching meals is by pack behavior. They're fast creatures and agile especially when young. If they see another dog hunt or run along side, then they begin to assume a superior/inferior relationship based upon which dog is the Alpha. Those other dogs will do things like groom the Alpha or each other. They urinate based upon the markings of the Alpha. They'll sniff the scat of the Alpha. They'll arrange their resting places based upon the Alpha. They'll eat a kill based upon what the Alpha leaves behind. If abandoned, some creatures will be more intelligent, mature, strong, and fast. They'll become these Alphas. Then other dogs will hear them and will join up with them. As a prepper, you need to prepare for feral dogs. Many will alternate friendly behavior with feral behavior. They will have been abandoned for a time, but remember being domesticated. Others are born feral by from those dogs that survived and mated. Still, when young, if caught they can be more tame, but if they live with the pack for long, they can be quite fierce. Dogs are naturally curious. They smell and see things far beyond our range as humans. They'll note your presence and the presence of cooking smells and garbage and fire. They'll come around to investigate. They'll be a nuisance. Even now, neighborhood dogs will come and visit, for usually a dog will seek affection wherever it can find it, that or a treat, or an opportunity to play. Some will see you as a potential friend and in a way you become a member of their pack. These behaviors that make dogs close to us now, will make dogs very dangerous in a collapse. Their friendliness, intelligence, strong senses, kinship with humans, etc will mean they will naturally come visit looking to fulfill their desires. Your children have been raised with the ideas of dogs as faithful friends. They trust them usually. They expect them to be benign. Depending upon the length of a collapse, and how long it's been since that dog became feral, it poses a threat to both your family and your pets. You have to consider all strays in a collapse as dangerous. You won't know how they'll respond until you observe them for awhile. While they can be fast, most in the early days can probably be caught by means of a snare pole. It's merely a hollow tube like a piece of PVC with an end cap. In the end, two holes are drilled, and a loop is thread, then one end is secured, and the other end is loose. This loose end is in the hand of a person wielding it. Quietly and calmly the person will then bring the loop around, and then animals will struggle. The human draws the loop tighter and the length of the pole governs how close the animal can approach the human. Another person working in tandem can bring a second loop around a strong dog. Either way, the animal can then be lead to an area for penning them up. http://www.wildlife.pro/snaring-animal.html This method works on slow moving creatures like opossums too. It can work on some raccoons, but they are very clever and can be quite dangerous. It is certainly possible to use a snare trap, or steel jaw trap on a dog if the trap is baited. Many might be caught that way, though these means are cruel. An injured dog can bite even its owner for it will instinctively strike out. http://www.salon.com/2012/01/14/the_secret_lives_of_feral_dogs/ http://www.salon.com/2012/01/14/the_secret_lives_of_feral_dogs/ There are many many feral dogs now. Their population is controlled by your municipality, lack of food, injuries, and bad weather. For every dog you see, perhaps another ten are not. Since they hunt at night or early morning when other mammals look for water or food, then you might not ever witness their actions. There will be far more numerous amounts of them post-collapse, and you should be making some plans on how to deal with them, for they will be a common problem. [/quote]
Original Message
There are many free homeschooling sites with pdf files. It would be great to have them just in case there are issues.
Get medications that your kids need. See if your doctor will prescribe 3 months supplies for them.
Get some presents tomorrow for Christmas. Little gifts that you could give out not only then, but throughout the year as incentives. They'll really appreciate them.
Children can thrive in the woods as long as they have calm parents. They cannot keep up with your pace up and down tails. You've got to plan adequately if you do have to walk some.
Kids are used to incorrectly using a backpack since kids at school wear them in the wrong fashion, which adds too much stress to their lower back. You'll have to reteach them how to buckle it properly and position it higher than they used to wearing it.
Try to make gathering wood into a game. Teach them as much about nature as possible. Being quiet is as important as talking.
Kids love open fires. Tell stories. It can simply be times when they did wonderful things when they were younger. They love hearing how much you love and adore them. Even teens.
Hug and kiss them often. Be generous with your affection. Lavish it on them

Fabolous Talks "Death in The Family" Connection to Goodfellas Film
You can't say Fabolous doesn't treat his fans well.
The Brooklyn rapper released the video for "Death in the Family" on Monday via XXLmag.com, seven months after the track the project stemmed from, There is No Competition 3: Death Comes in 3s, hit the 'Net. After delivering two stellar mixapes last year, the aforementioned Death and The S.O.U.L. Tape, 'Loso continues to deliver for his followers.
"That's one thing we were trying to do, even on the viral side," he told XXL. "Just doing videos for the mixtape project, but every time we try to make it not look like a mixtape project, but work hard to bring some creative vision to it. I think for the most part, we've hit what we've tried to do. Hit our target and bring dope videos to the viral scene."
The clip was directed by Aristotle Torres ("By Any Means") and is a take on the classic gangster flick, Goodfellas.
According to Fab, he thought of the concept, when Tommy DeVito has a run-in at a bar, to match the theme of disloyalty in the record.
"The song, of course, is called 'Death in the Family,' where it talks having to get rid of people who are close to you or people close to you not really respecting you or not showing the proper amount of love," he explained. "So we took that scene, which was the guy who had just got home, a mob dude, and he came home and ran into Joe Pesci at the bar and he wasn't really respectful. And the hook says, 'Hurts when you have to kill a nigga you love' and the video ends up that."
Currently, Fabolous is working on his next album, the follow-up to 2009's Loso's Way.
"I really been in album mode all this year and doing the videos to keep a viral presence online," he said. "I keep the visuals flowing, let people see me. You don't want to be too distant [before the next album arrives.]
Last night (July 23), Fab tore down a Sony-sponsored secret show at New York City's Bowery Ballroom.—Jayson Rodriguez (@jayhovawitness)

Boxing News
Amir Khan reinstated as WBA super champion
The World Championships Committee of the World Boxing Association officially announced today its decision to reinstate Amir Khan as "super champion" who may be able to unify titles with WBC champion Danny Garcia on Saturday. This decision was taken after the positive doping result of the American Lamont Peterson was confirmed by the medical experts. The WBA rules state that no boxer who has tested positively for prohibited substances can be rated, retain a title, or be permitted to fight in a sanctioned bout for a period of no less than six (6) months from the date of the positive test has been enforced. Given the circumstances, Peterson's status is champion in recess and it is subject to revision.

text: Cape Town - The City of Cape Town wants to raise a R2bn loan from a French development bank to finance a range of its capital projects, it was reported on Wednesday. The Cape Times reported the loan, funded by L'Agence Française de Développement, could be taken on condition that it be repaid over 15 years and have an interest rate fixed at 9%. Deputy mayor Ian Neilson said the loan would be used over the next two financial years for a range of capital projects such as water services, roads, refuse collection and sewerage. The mayoral committee agreed on Tuesday to recommend to the city council that the loan be taken up.

The season finale of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta aired last night and I must say that it was a fairly nice ending in comparison to previous episodes.
There were so many scenes that made me smile and I really enjoyed seeing the story lines come to a close the way that they did.
In my opinion, the highlight of the episode would be Mimi deciding to leave Stevie J and move on with her life. After a final therapy session with Stevie and Joseline, she "saw the light" and decided to let them have at it. Stevie somewhat admitted that he was never going to change and as the therapist said, "Joseline takes him as he is."
Another moment that made me smile was seeing Erica move into her new home and let Scrappy really have the space and freedom he wanted. It's obvious that they love each other and in a perfect world would want the relationship to work, but sometimes it just doesn't happen like that. Scrappy had to break the news that he had considered going back to Erica to Buckeey, who as you can rightfully assume was not a happy camper.
I'm not clear on how Buckeey could feel hurt by Scrappy telling her that because she knew how he feels/felt about Erica from the jump. If her intentions were to really be his friend and be there for him, she wouldn't have given him all that lip and just played her position!
Moving on, this moment made me smile…but in a reaction to something funny kind of way. Karlie's admiration and lovey-doveyness for Benzino quickly turned to "f*ck Benzino" after he flashed that ring and didn't give it to her.
But seriously, who does that?? Who shows a woman a ring while breaking up with her…after acting like he was about to propose? That was the most douchebaggery behavior (yes I made that up) I've seen on TV…but what can we expect from a man who is BFFs with Stevie J? *shrug*
If you haven't seen the episode, click here to watch.
I'm looking forward to the reunion episode to see if all this gossip and drama that has unfolded in the last few weeks will have any truth to it!

One Man's Quest to Add 'Yooper' to the Dictionary Ends in Success
Yoo-per: noun: a native or resident of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan – used as a nickname.
If you've lived in Michigan or know people who do, chances are you've used the regional term. Now thanks to Steve Parks' 12-year campaign, the nickname has moved from being purely vernacular to Miriam-Webster official.
A resident of Gladstone, Michigan, Parks first fought for the legitimacy of the term during a scrabble game with a friend. After learning that "yooper" was not in the dictionary, he took action.
Parks began correspondence with editors at Miriam Webster in 2002 and was immediately rejected. Using lunch hours at his law practice, he persisted by penning letters equipped with documentation of "yooper's" relevance throughout the decade that followed. This year his efforts finally paid off. "Yooper" has a place not only in the mouths of Midwesterners, but also in the 2014 edition of Miriam-Webster.

"I use this product for Real Estate, to market my properties. I like it because it looks professional, its easy to customize and it is small enough to pass out to people with relevant information on the inside."
"I designed a business card using photos of my work. The online design process is relatively easy, although the view varies from device to device (my iPad had better images than my laptop). The option to see a proof and update the product is very helpful, and the person providing prrofs was very responsive. I also like the option of up to three updates (I'd missed an error in my email address, it was easily fixed)."
"This site is easy to use and offers a wide variety of quality designs from which to create your own "spin". The combination of rich colors, high grade paper and flawless printing result in a product that truly stands out above the rest!"
"The design really stands out and the Tiny Prints editor was able to customize the cards and place an image on the back instead of the logo. They turned out really cool!"
"I really like the unique design of these business cards. Quality is very close to that of my professional photography labs. Love the versatility of the designs and layouts. I think these are my best designed cards yet. I am definitely going to reorder!"

A man was shocked by a £19,000 bill for his malfunctioning iPhone.
Chris Bovis, 26, contacted his phone company, Orange, when it cut him off without warning. The builder was told he had run up a bill of £8,900 due to high internet use.
He was warned that his next bill was £10,000. Mr Bovis, of Tilbury, Essex, said his reaction was to laugh but Orange tried to take the £19,000 from his bank although the transaction was blocked.
Mr Bovis asked for his iPhone to be switched off but it still sent and received large amounts of data.
Staff at an Apple store agreed that the phone was faulty and agreed to replace it but Orange said they would still be charging him a capped rate of £300. Orange has now apologised and cut his bill to zero.

Why Banks Fail So Many Americans—and a Possible Solution
Wednesday, September 16, 2015
In her new book How the Other Half Banks: Exclusion, Exploitation, and the Threat to Democracy, Associate Professor Mehrsa Baradaran traces the history of banking in America to show how trends including deregulation and the consolidation of banks have resulted in a banking system that, while enjoying government support in the form of deposit insurance, interest-free loans, and bailouts, has no incentive to serve Americans who most need small loans. The solution to this problem, Baradaran argues, is found in every ZIP code: the United States Post Office.

Application of a Counter Propagation Neural Network for Star Identification
Roberts, Peter J. & Walker, Rodney A. (2005) Application of a Counter Propagation Neural Network for Star Identification. In AIAA Guidance, Navigation, and Control Conference and Exhibit, 15 - 18 August 2005, San Francisco, CA.
|PDF (539kB)
During research underway at the Queensland University of Technology in the area of satellite technologies, the need for a fast, accurate and reliable star identification method presented itself. This paper presents one approach to solving this problem in a nonconventional manner. A Counter Propagation Neural Network has been implemented and tested producing favourable results. Presented in this paper is the incorporation of the Counter Propagation Neural Network into the star sensor, the network structure, simulations of implementations and results.

The founders of the nation of Israel were fervent believers in the principles of democracy and wished to establish a nation that would live in peace with its Muslim neighbors. There is no doubt decisions made by Arab leaders prevented these high ideals from coming to fruition. Of course, mistakes were made by every nation in the Middle East and we now live with the consequences of those actions. A new poll from Israel reveals Israelis now oppose an independent Palestine on the West Bank. When asked by the Maagar Mohot survey 66% came out against the creation of an independent Palestine while only 11% said they agree in its creation.
Over 50% approve of building new settlements near east Jerusalem while 9% opposed it and 40% lacked an opinion. Right wing political leaders continue having the support of a majority of Israelis. These figures simply reveal an end to the dream of Israel's founders.
Israelis have met the enemy and now they are him.

Sticking within your question. I too, as some have posted, have both a 9mm & .380acp.
Now some have also veered off subject and added some other calibers of choice. So with that said.
When I ccw it depends on how I'm dressed as to what I ccw.
I'll ccw my .380acp if I can't ccw my 9mm if I can't ccw my 45acp.
These all come in such a wide variety of sizes, from so many reliable manufactures, that you should be able to find and try any of the two you asked about and, the third one I included too.
These are like shoes. Boo's Boots may fit and feel great on YOUR feet, but not on mine. So I wear Bongo Boots. You need to try and pickup a variety of firearms and see what fits YOU best. Them try to rent and shoot a few to see what YOU shoot best.

A nanoscratch method for measuring hardness of thin films
Liu, Sheng, Huang, Han, & Gu, YuanTong (2011) A nanoscratch method for measuring hardness of thin films. International Journal of Nanomanufacturing, 7(5/6), pp. 427-435.
6-month embargo period
(PDF 434kB)
Accepted Version.
Thin solid films were extensively used in the making of solar cells, cutting tools, magnetic recording devices, etc. As a result, the accurate measurement of mechanical properties of the thin films, such as hardness and elastic modulus, was required. The thickness of thin films normally varies from tens of nanometers to several micrometers. It is thus challenging to measure their mechanical properties. In this study, a nanoscratch method was proposed for hardness measurement. A three-dimensional finite element method (3-D FEM) model was developed to validate the nanoscratch method and to understand the substrate effect during nanoscratch. Nanoindentation was also used for comparison. The nanoscratch method was demonstrated to be valuable for measuring hardness of thin solid films.

FPMT Mongolia: Re-igniting Buddhism in Central Asia
In late 1999, FPMT Mongolia (a non-profit religious organization) was established to help re-light the lamp of Mongolian Buddhist culture – which was almost completely destroyed by the Communist regime – and to provide assistance for the poor and under-privileged.
The first major success was the establishment of Ganden Do Ngag Shedrup Ling, the FPMT Dharma center in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. With this as a starting point, generous donors from all over the world have helped FPMT Mongolia reach remarkable milestones. These include:
The construction of Idgaa Choizinling College
The formation of the Mongolian Sangha Food Fund, which provides for the food of the monks at the Idgaa Choizinling College
The renovation of Dolma Ling Nunnery
The establishment of the Lamp of the Path NGO to carry out social services in Ulaanbaatar and elsewhere in the country
The establishment of the Golden Light Sutra Center in Darkhan in northern Mongolia to provide teachings and social services to the people in this city and the surrounding countryside
The establishment of the Aryadeva Study Group in Erdenet, the third largest Mongolian city by population
Daily Dharma teachings and meditation classes at the Ganden Do Ngag Shedrup Ling and Golden Light Sutra Centers and outreach teachings in prisons, schools, universities and other monasteries
The translation and publication of 27 different titles of Dharma texts and prayers from Tibetan and English into Mongolian, by Enlightening Mind Publications
The presentation of the television series Discovering Buddhism to hundreds of thousands of viewers and the broadcast of FM-radio Dharma programs.
The hosting of the fourth Enlightenment Experience Celebration (EEC4) event in conjunction with FPMT International Office

Wrestling fans, coaches, and competitors were stunned in February 2013 when the International Olympic Committee recommended that the sport be dropped from the Olympics after the 2016 Games. But just months later, the IOC General Assembly voted wrestling back into the Games for 2020 and 2024 in a first-round victory. This is the inside story of how one of the original Olympic sports came back from a virtual death sentence. Expertly uncovering the struggles within wrestling's international federation, FILA, and the idiosyncrasies at the top of the Olympic movement, this investigation uncovers how the original and illogical IOC vote to eliminate wrestling transpired and how FILA, USA Wrestling, and Russia engineered the plan to remove ineffectual FILA president Raphaël Martinetti from office and keep him out. It also answers questions such as: Who were the leaders of the movement that transformed the sport into "new wrestling"? Why were the Kremlin, the president of Iran, the United Nations, and Buckingham Palace involved in the sport's quest for redemption? and How did controversial changes in both men and women's Olympic weight classes and the "new rules" become adopted? The book is a must for wrestling fans as well as those who like to see what goes on behind the scenes at the Olympics.

We have release dates for The Wolf Among Us Episode 2 - Smoke & Mirrors!
And it'll be out on iOS next week too!
They give more time to the wolf among us its great ..but they also have to give more time to the walking dead season 2 i think may be they forget that the walking dead is one of their biggest project ever lol
Damn. People are being douchebags up there. O.o
Thanks for all the hard work, Telltale! Stuff happens and that's life. I'm pumped to see where this next installment goes, and I'm sure I'll be hyped as hell for the rest. Tuesday can't come soon enough. =P
according to telltale, right now im not connected to the internet to make my download...any explainations?
according to telltale, right now im not connected to the internet to make my download...any explainations?
Still waiting to download it on my Mac and it's Feb 5th now? Open the game and it still says 'Coming Soon' even though i bought the season pass? I wanna play
I had the same problem...what you have to do is go uninstall your game and then reinstall it by going to your profile, then my games, and then clicking on TWAU...when you do that it should re-download the entire game and the new episode and all your previous EP and choices shouldn't be changed or lost...that worked for me and I've already played it twice...hopefully it works for you too
Looks like there is a problem with the servers. I tried launching the game and it still says "coming soon" for episode 2. I also tried re-downloading the installer from the website, guess what? At 99.99% server gave an error. I am now downloading episode 2 files from another source. Excuse me but this is ridiculous. I do love Telltale and their games. But people also pay money for this game. I have a season pass and that means I should be able to update my game legitimately from the official servers.
Will the Xbox 360 version come in North America tomorrow as well as the European Xbox 360 version?
Ummm... I cannot find Ep. 2. I'm playing this on the Xbox 360 and it still says on Ep. 2 "Coming Soon". Are the Episodes released internationally? 'cause I do not live in America or Europe... Should I probably check tomorrow? It's already in the afternoon of Feb. 5 here in my place.....
P.S. Where can you make suggestions?

Retain customers, drive consumption
How do you put the utility customer at the center of a digitally transformed world?
In the most basic sense – it is impossible to differentiate core utility products.
Where you can and must create differentiation is now rooted in customer experience. You can only create sustained differentiation by exploiting your data assets to give your individual customers one-to-one service. Through digital transformation you can now create products which inspire enduring client relationships.
This is not just about giving your customers the best deal in terms of cost. It's about appealing directly to their own digital life-styles. Just think about mobility and the connected home, for example. How can you give your customers more opportunities to control their homes and workplaces?
How can you establish dialogues with them that appeal to their own concern for the environment, especially when they are generating power at a local level through solar or wind turbines?
Atos is ready to explore this business-critical area with you, sharing our own specialist experience and expertise.

Wynnona did not do well at all on Monday, but I figured her fan base of country music lovers and those 3 or 4 people who like Ashley Judd would call and vote for her. They didn't and Wynnona was eliminated. For her part, the singer said that she is a singer and not a dancer but gave it her best shot. It is tough to go on the show and know you are probably going to get ridiculed. Her partner was Tony Dovolani who finally won it all last season.

The Tigers were crushed 5-1 at the KC Stadium in their second Barclays Premier League match of the season.
Brown has spent most of the summer transfer window trying to bring in fresh faces but has missed out on a number of targets.
Real Madrid striker Alvaro Negredo is the latest high-profile player to turn down the chance of a move to Hull and Brown now seems unlikely to rest until the September 1 deadline passes.
Brown said: "We came up against classy opposition that showed us how to play the game.
"We are probably a million miles away from that at this point in time, the scoreline suggests that.
"There is no excuse for not working hard enough and not working towards the gameplan and one or two didn't.
"We were at full tilt with everything we did but they looked in total control. The gulf was there for everyone to see.
"We certainly need better players. We need players that are going to do the job for Hull City to the best of their ability and are going to listen to instructions I give before we go out there.
"We need everyone in the camp singing from the same hymnsheet."
Hull have not won in 12 Premier League games stretching back to March and only once at all in 2009.
They were handed a tough opening to the new campaign with a trip to Chelsea followed by a home clash against Spurs but already there is cause for concern.
"I think we were working but not working with any kind of thought process," Brown said.
"Too many individuals out there weren't listening to instructions, weren't listening to gameplans and consequently they played around us too easily.
"Chelsea away and Tottenham at home were two very difficult games to get anything from.
"Now the pressure is on us to get a point or points on Saturday and the same at Wolves a week later."
Hull's poor start last night meant they were 2-0 down after just 14 minutes and striker Daniel Cousin was substituted soon after.
The introduction of Geovanni in his place briefly revived Hull and Stephen Hunt pulled a goal back but Spurs were eventually convincing winners as Jermain Defoe completed a hat-trick.
Cousin looked very unimpressed as he was taken off but Brown insisted he had no issue with his performance.
Brown said: "I would be disappointed. He obviously didn't understand it was a tactical decision so he's hurting.
"But I didn't bring him off, the players who let the side down brought Daniel Cousin off."

England skipper Casey Stoney knows all about the ups and downs of tournament football.
At the last Euros in Finland, Stoney was sent off for a professional foul in their opener against Italy. England lost 2-1 but Stoney and her team recovered to finish runners‑up.
"Obviously, it wasn't ideal," she said. "To get sent off after half an hour is no player's opening-game dream. But that was four years ago; this is a new tournament. I like to think I've come a long way since then and, hopefully, I'll stay on the pitch for longer this time."
The 110-cap centre-half admits she will have a few nerves when she leads the side out against Spain tonight but is not worried.
Stoney, who also captained Great Britain at the London Olympics, said: "For me, nerves are a good thing, I've always used nerves for energy. Some girls don't suffer with nerves at all, some girls have them in a positive way.
"I'll be a little bit nervous but at the same time raring to go and I always use those nerves to make sure I am ready."
England have a good recent record against Spain, a team they faced in qualifying for Euro 2009 and the 2011 World Cup. In those matches Stoney's side had two 1-0 wins and a couple of 2-2 draws.
She said: "We've done all the research we need to do. We're excited; we've been waiting a long time for this so we are going to give it our best shot."Reuse content

:confused:should i load 1jhp and 1 round nose bullet and if so why should i
Printable View
:confused:should i load 1jhp and 1 round nose bullet and if so why should i
I prefer bonded JHP's, round nose is for practice.
Some will have good reasons for ball ammo, maybe for extra penetration or to make up for caliber deficiency (think .380), or maybe JHP's don't work in their gun (I would not carry such a gun, unless it was all I could get which is better than nothing).
But for me it's high quality JHP's for self defense.
Some have said that for 32auto or 380 where penetration is suspect. I use DPX, period.
The practice of stacking mags started years ago when the quantity and quality of JHP's was nowhere near as good as it is today. This was really a factor with the .45 acp.
The magic number for the HP to expand was 1000 fps. Well they were working up to that and more but they also kept making the HP cavity bigger and bigger which affected the feeding capability of the gun hence that is why 25 years ago you had to send a 1911 off to get "worked on" in order for it to feed HP's well.
The HP of the day was not bonded so with the hotter loads the jacket would sometimes seperate on contact or some versions had such a big cavity and were so soft, to make them expand, that they simply would not penetrate deep enough to do the job.
The jist of stacking mags was that you had a couple of JHP's for the body then ball for barricades or in case the JHP did not do what is was supposed to do you had several rounds of ball ammo that you knew would feed correctly.
Some, including me at one time, not only stacked the primary mag but would load a speciality HP in the chamber, often by hand, like a Speer Flying Ashtray, if it would not relabibly feed from the mag, and then load SP or ball for the rest. Spare mags at that point would be ball ammo or other speciality ammo like KTW armor piercing.
With today's excellent bonded HP's the stacking is not really required anymore. Out of habit sometimes I will still carry spare mags loaded with ball ammo just because. When in LE over the years I carried a variety of HP's as technology got better and what worked for me so slowly I switched over to mostly HP's and a mag full of ball ammo somewhere. When carrying in the states I do on occasion use HP's and when I do they are normally Golden Sabre which I have seen the results of what they can do so I trust them. For the last 6 years over here I am restricted to ball ammo which has not disapointed me yet.
This is what works for me so not trying to convince anyone to change nor condem me for what I do. To each his own.
On a side note for those not familiar with them this is the Speer 200 grain Flying Ashtray.
I think alternating depends on the agenda....I load mine up JHP, FMJ, JHP....The round "first up" depends on what I'm doing. Up in the hills (bear, Mt. lion) I go with FMJ first up. Around town and at home I go with JHP first.
My thinking is, whatever a JHP my lack (penetration, hydrastatic shock) the FMJ will compensate for. So many variables can be encountered, such as a need for a round(s) to penetrate safety glass, denim, heavy clothing, sheet rock etc. So....if that first shot will likely be you best hit, I want that round to either expand and tear ( JHP around town) or give deep penetration with maximum energy transfer (FMJ up in the hills). All follow-up rounds would alternate, expand and tear, penetrate with energy, expand and tear......
I always completely test feeding in this alternating method to be CERTAIN all cycle efficiently. (Never had any problems with my carries, Beretta, Smith and Wessons).
This holds true for my semi's as well as my revolvers....whatever I'm carring. Extra magazines, speed loaders are alternated in the same fashion....
thank you you sir for being so informative
I heard someone once say they only put the top five as JHP, and the rest is ball, he was saying that by the time 5 shots are fired, they would be dead or behind cover.
I haven't decided if I agree yet or not.
If that is your reasoning I think a better solution might be to have the first half of your magazine loaded with high quality hollow points such as the Federal HST, Winchester Ranger-T and Remington Golden saber standard jacket. Then load the rest of the mag with quality bonded hollow points for better barrier penetration (assuming aggressor is behind cover) such as Speer Gold Dots, Winchester Bonded,(PDX-1=same bullet) Federal Tactical bonded or Remington Golden Saber Bonded. Works well in my Glock. With ball ammo you could put yourself in serious legal jeopardy if you shoot through someone and
strike innocents which is highly likely with ball ammo. And that assumes your pistol is reliable with a stacked magazine.
"With ball ammo you could put yourself in serious legal jeopardy if you shoot through someone and
strike innocents which is highly likely with ball ammo."
Title: "Handgun Wounding Factors and Effectiveness"
Urey W. Patrick
Firearms Training Unit
FBI Academy
Quantico, Va,
A Quote from the article: " An issue that must be addressed is the fear of over penetration that is widely expressed on the part of
law enforcement. The concern that a bullet would pass through the body of a subject and injure an innocent bystander is clearly exaggerated. Any review of law enforcement shootings will reveal that the great majority of shots fired did not hit any subjects at all. It should be obvious that the relatively few shots that do hit a subject are not somehow more dangerous to bystanders than the shots that miss the subject entirely. Choosing a bullet because of shallow penetration will seriously compromise weapon effectiveness and needlessly endanger the lives of law enforcement using it. No law enforcement officer has lost his life because a bullet over penetrated his adversary and virtually none have been sued for for hitting an innocent bystander through an adversary. On the other hand, tragically large numbers of officers have been killed because their bullets did not penetrate deeply enough."
This is good for thought but form you own thoughts about this.
Why use FMJs at all???
i carry one round of magsafe frangible and 13 powerballs. not really "stacked" since the magsafe is in the tube.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 was released as a high-end powerhouse back in 2013, but has since been superseded by the superb Galaxy S5, which was followed itself by the Galaxy S6. While it hasn't been the runaway success that Samsung anticipated, it's still one of the best-selling flagship phones of all time and a worthy successor to the outstanding Galaxy S3.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 was one of the best phones of its day, but the mobile market is fast-moving and unforgiving. Two years since the S4 was released, it's looking a little long in the tooth.
The competition at the top end of the market has been fierce. Apple's steamrollered on with the iPhone 5S and subsequently the iPhone 6, and the likes of the LG G3 and HTC One M8 and their successors have put up a worthy fight for Android. Other manufacturers have also pitched in with surprisingly great flagship phones, most notably the Sony Xperia Z2 and the great-value Nexus 5.
Since the Galaxy S6 has taken up the mantle as Samsung's flagship model, the S4 has been further reduced in price. It cost around £579 SIM-free at launch, but since dropping down the Galaxy pecking order it can now be picked up for just £250/$300.
So with stiff competition out there can the Samsung Galaxy S4 still hold its head high and be called the best of the best? And how does it cope with the rigors of day-to-day life?
We discuss some of the best and worst aspects of living with the Samsung Galaxy S4.

SEE ALSO: All the latest on the Samsung Galaxy S5
Next read: Best Mobile Phones
While the 1.9GHz quad-core processor is no longer one of the fastest on the market it still gives the Galaxy S4 plenty of pep. It doesn't matter what you throw at the S4, it will guzzle it down and asked for seconds.
Watching full HD video or intensive 3D gaming is a doddle, and browsing the internet or multi-tasking a breeze. Scrolling through menus is quick and smooth, with the only very occasional stutter occurring when something is updating while you're trying to open an app at the same time.
Unfortunately there's one issue with the Samsung interface and it's that there is a split-second pause between pressing a icon, to make a call for example, and it actually initiating the process. It's not a deal-breaker but many will find it a little clunkier than stock Android phones or iPhones, which seem to register actions quicker. In addition once you've used it for a while and added a host of apps the S4 does tend to suffer from some inconsistencies such as occasional jittery performance. The Galaxy S4 Android 4.3 roll-out has improved some of these issue, however.
SEE ALSO: Samsung Galaxy S4 VS S5 VS S6: Which is the right upgrade for you?
Samsung has made a number of tweaks and additions to the Galaxy S4 TouchWiz interface, the software layer that sits on top of Android. If you're being very kind you could call Smart Scroll, Smart Pause, Air View and Air Gesture innovative. If you're being cruel you could call them gimmicky bloatware.
We found that we quickly grew tired of trying to get Smart Scroll, or any of the other apps mentioned, to work effectively enough to be worth the hassle and battery drain. They're not quite intuitive enough and sometimes actually make using the phone trickier than when they're turned off. Within a few weeks we had disabled them all and we're much happier with the experience the Galaxy S4 provides.
One of the best things we found about the S4 is that you stop thinking about it. It's a 5-inch phone that fits easily in a pocket and can be used one-handed without too much trouble. It's dependable; the screen is one of the best in class and the performance great, other than issues we've already described. The camera is impressive but has been surpassed by the Xperia Z2, Nokia Lumia 1020 and iPhone 5S.
It does the basics well though, and the call quality is solid. When the Galaxy S4 was released it had the best stamina of any phone in its class. Yes some newcomers have come along that challenge that, but it's still more than good enough. Unfortunately some battery problems have become apparent. We broke the story about Samsung offering S4 battery replacements to affected users, but it does appear that it depends on the country you live in.
The vast majority don't suffer from this issue, however, and the battery life and quick charging alone have saved our skin on many occasions. It's the first top-of-the-range phone we've used in a while that we can forget to charge the night before and still scrape a full day's use out of. Even a dead battery shouldn't hold you back for too long. A 15 minute charge from empty gives you up to 20% of your battery back.
If all the aspects we've just spoken about are what's really important to you then the Galaxy S4 is at least as good as most of the competition and has had a price drop, significantly so since the launch of the Galaxy S5. You should probably stop reading and just go away and buy it right now.
For the rest of you let's cover what the Galaxy S4 struggles with. It plain and simply lacks desirability and build quality. It's like a pair of slippers. You'd just about venture to the local sweetshop with them on, but you wouldn't want to go out to a nice restaurant. By contrast the iPhone 5S is a pair of loafers, the HTC One shiny dress shoes and the Sony Xperia Z21, to really put this simile out of its misery, flippers. All serve a purpose, but you'll probably be as comfortable using the S4 on a daily basis as any other phone. The plastic is not quite as robust as we'd like though and you should invest in a case for it. If waterproofing is a requirement then you could opt for the Galaxy S5 which has a water-resistant rating that's a little lower than that on the Xperia Z2.
It's mightily impressive that Samsung has managed to cram the Galaxy S4's 5-inch screen into a body smaller, in all important aspects, than the S3's. Let's not kid ourselves though, it's still a big phone and some will struggle with it if they're used to smaller phones.
For many this will be a minor point, however. As we've already mentioned on a day to day basis the Galaxy S4 just keeps doing what you need it to with aplomb. It's solid, dependable and powerful – it just won't make you feel sexy.
Now read on as we delve deeper into the Samsung Galaxy S4.
Check out all the Samsung Galaxy S5 release date, news, rumours, specs and price latest right here.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 has a lot to live up to. Follow-on to the Samsung Galaxy S3, the most successful Android handset to date, the Galaxy S4 pits itself against renewed efforts from old rivals as well as the ever-present threat of Apple.
Given the hype surrounding the handset's launch, however, a period that has seen months of build-up paired with countless rumours that would be the envy of any Apple launch, Samsung's latest flagship phone looks set to face no issues in once again storming to the top of smartphone sales charts.
Off the bat, the Samsung Galaxy S4 is a truly impressive powerhouse smartphone. On paper, it's Samsung's most impressive handset to date, not least as it jumps from the 4.8-inch S3 to a 5-inch screen without any added bulk.
At 7.9mm thick, 136.6mm tall and 69.8mm wide, the Samsung Galaxy S4 is actually 0.8mm narrower and 0.7mm slimmer than the S3. It tips the scales at just 130g – 3g less than the S3 and a genuine featherweight. Unlike past models, however, it doesn't feel unnervingly light, instead, balancing its weight evenly and reassuringly across the handset's full length.
Samsung hasn't just made the screen larger. The stunning 1,920 x 1,080p Super AMOLED Samsung Galaxy S4 screen is a serious boost from the S3's 720p screen that creates an instant wow factor. It's arguably the best screen ever seen on a smartphone and proves the Samsung Galaxy S4 is more than a spec baiting feature fest – it's a quality product.
But it's far from the first phone to have a 1080p full HD display, and the Samsung Galaxy S4 faces stiffer competition than its most recent predecessor. It goes head-to-head with a reinvigorated collection of high-end Android handsets, with both the HTC One and Sony Xperia Z lining up as the best smartphones ever produced by their respective manufacturers. There's always the looming presence of Apple and the iPhone 5, too, though if anticipation is anything to go by then Samsung's execs won't be losing any sleep.
What might be an issue, however, is the Samsung Galaxy S4's less than ideal start to life. Less than a week after it was announced, Samsung backtracked on its promise to deliver the much-touted 1.6GHz Exynos 5 eight-core powered version of the phone originally pegged to hit the UK, instead sending the 1.9GHz quad-core option to British shores.
Although this revised British spec lacks the battery saving prowess promised by its eight-core sibling, it certainly has the grunt – the Samsung Galaxy S4 suffers virtually no lag, even when tackling all the heavy-duty tasks, power-hungry apps, games and multimedia content we could throw at it.
Other hardware upgrades on the Samsung Galaxy S4 follow recent Android trends. Its 13-megapixel rear-mounted camera is akin to that of the Sony Xperia Z, while 1080p Full HD video recording and an integrated flash ensure it's equipped for any occasion.
Combined with a second, 2-megapixel snapper upfront – again with 1080p Full HD video recording at 30 frames-per-second – the S4 cameras are excellent and the new Dual Shot feature lets you make use of both cameras simultaneously.
Dual Shot lets you take a photo or shoot a video with both cameras, with the front camera view appearing as a small 'picture-in-picture' thumbnail. It's largely a gimmick that won't appeal to everyone, but for those interested, Dual Shot gives the option for more personalised tourist snaps and party shots. It's joined by Panorama, Eraser and Animated photo options that are quick and easy to set up and use, adding a new realm of possibilities.
At its core, Samsung has paired Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean with the most recent iteration of its TouchWiz UI, creating an experience that is equal measures intuitive and brimmed with high-end features and options. Indeed, it's the Samsung Galaxy S4's software where Samsung has innovated over the S3, and how it distinguishes itself from the competition.
See the following pages of the review for a more detailed look the numerous unique software features, such as the S Health fitness app, Smart Pause, Smart Scroll and Air Gesture
There's a raft of premium add-ons, like NFC, 4G LTE and even IR remote control, too, and unlike the HTC One it has a built-in microSD card slot to expand the standard 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities – although actual available storage is considerably less than advertised, more on which later.
All this muscle and a hearty collection of headline grabbing features come at a price, however, and in terms of the Samsung Galaxy S4 price, it's a considerable one.
Indeed, the Samsung Galaxy S4 price exceeds Apple and the iPhone, usually the benchmark for costly smartphones, as the entry-level 16GB Samsung Galaxy S4 SIM-free price is around £580 – £50 more than the iPhone 5. It's pricey on 24-month contracts, too – a little more expensive than its closest rivals, with some retailers offering the handsets for free when taken on a £37 per month two-year deal.
If you're looking to buy, we suggest you look at our round-up the best Samsung Galaxy S4 deals.
There is no getting away from the fact that this phone has more hype surrounding it than any Android device that has preceded it. Fortunately, Samsung has backed up much of this anticipation with action, offering a well-rounded, extremely powerful device that, although lacking something on the aesthetical front, is sure to impress the masses.
Given the Samsung Galaxy S4's near identical looks to the S3 and the somewhat run of the mill hardware updates, some will argue that the handset is more of a Samsung Galaxy S3S in the vein of Apple's incremental updates than a true S3 successor. In truth and practice, however, the handset is a whole new beast and one which far outstrips what has been, until now at least, the world's most successful Android smartphone.

Do you have a capacity for the battery?
2600mah and user repalceable ofc
sad to read the article - `not and out and out game changer` - at least samsung are innovating - all apple do now is litigate.
"engrained"... sp! See me after class!
On a more serious note though, these reviews always highlight the blue hue of Amoled screens when watched from an angle. Seriously though, who watches a mobile phone screen from an acute angle? Sure, it might be an issue on the very rare occasion when there's more than one person watching the screen, but mobile phone usage tends to be a very personal experience. I think more is made of this issue than necessary.
Give us a break we were up all night :)
I agree with you about the acute angles. This is not anywhere near as much of an issue for mobiles as it is with TVs/laptops. As you say most of the time you'll be looking at your screen on your own so can find the sweet spots without an issue. The the blueish tinge and inaccurate colour reproduction is a problem. I'm not a fan of the oversaturation and colour reproduction from AMOLEDs and would rather sacrifice deep blacks than have to put up with it. Horses for courses though and for other people the blacks might be more important.
It's a shame the 8 cores are not the full monty, rather than 2 sets of 4 cores that it flips between. IOW: It would have been nice if it worked like core i7, eg. made it so it can Turbo or under-clock cores instead. Also do you know if this flipping between cores is all for one, or can all 8 cores still run at the same time, eg. changes the affinity of threads based on load?
Be interesting to see what benchmarks show, as this is running at a slower clock speed than HTC, so for none thread based tasks, the HTC is likely to win. A lot of times this is Games, as games tend not to make too much use of threads. And if the core flipping is all for one, multi-threaded tasks all would also go HTC.
Of course the nice thing no matter how the cores are flipped, is that hopefully this is going to make for good battery life.
Painful as the cheesy press conference was there was a lot more innovation with the S4 than I've seen from Apple in a long time. I'd like to spend more time with some of the features such as Smart Pause and Scroll and Air View/Gesture to make sure they are more than a gimmick. Probably the biggest innovation, and the one that will be most important to most people, is the eight-core processor. If this new configuration of 4 thirsty processors for heavy duty task and 4 processors for day-to-day use can eke out an extra 20%,or evern 10%, of battery life then that will truly be a great thing.
I found it very odd that no mention of this was really made by Samsung. This may suggest it hasn't worked as well as they hoped but we'll test it thouroughly when we get the chance.
Which app will you use which needs 8 cores working in tandem? Power for power's sake is pointless, that's just bragging rights - I'd rather have increased battery life which is the weakness of every high-end smartphone currently on the market.
I agree,.. So in this case I'd say it would have been nice to just have 4 cores, with the i7 ability to under/over clock. The thing is there going to sell like mad based on the number 8, and people won't instantly relate this to battery saving, they will think it is about power. So the interesting thing here, all this talk about the Samsung stealing HTC limelight, on the benchmark front HTC here might still take the lead, apart from the 1.9GHz 4 core version they have, and I bet that's why Samsung have that one in production too.
Luke, did you know you've just be quoted on the BBC ?
Thanks. After posting the question, I found it on the next TR news story I read.
So it is 300mAh bigger than the HTC One. Not enough to convince me to change.
Good response.
Just to clarify, are you saying the blue hue is there whatever angle you watch from?
Thanks for staying up and reporting it!
I thought I saw somewhere where it benchmarked slightly lower than the HTC one on the normal phone measuring suites.
Indeed. I find it bizarre why manufacturers don't cater for this. It would be a great way to set yourself apart, and yes talking about mAh is geeky, and won't appeal to most of the customers, but it is easy to market it up. For example:
The New Ebner Phantom 2
*Runs Faster
Marketing guff
*Lasts Longer
With our BatterySaving (c) suite of power saving tools, you can manage your battery like never before. Add to that a huge battery, that is double the size of many of our competitors, and you can be freed from the shackles of daily charging.
*Is Harder
Waterproof, metal body yada more marketing guff
Good point.
If that works it should be great, although the five core Tegra 4, sounds even more promising. I am almost tempted to wait for that and Key Lime Pie before upgrading, but I really love the way the HTC One looks, and am excited about the functionality it will provide.
It's not the capacity that matters, it's how long it lasts in the phone. That's still a big unknown.
Thanks Captain Obvious ;-)
If it cam with say a 3500mAh capacity battery, you'd have to think it would easily last a whole day of heavy use. So the capacity matters in that sense. Ideal world, a power efficient phone, with a big battery behind it.
Well the Note II come with a 3200mAh battery and is reasonably power-efficient and yet somehow my gf still manages to run it down to around 20-30% most days. She uses her phone far more than most people though. She mostly uses it for browsing, in which case hopefully the slower A7 cores would be used most of the time if she had an S4 (or a Note III) and she'd see a real benefit.
If she did a lot of 3D gaming she'd probably get worse battery life than ever on the S4, as the A15 cores are likely to be very power-hungry. That's probably the main reason ARM is encouraging manufacturers to go big.LITTLE, and AFAIK this is the first product released with that new architecture so we really have to wait and see how it behaves.
My point is that the 300mAh isn't what's relevant and shouldn't be what you base your buying decision on. The S4 might have a bigger battery and yet have worse battery life, or it may wipe the floor with the HTC One.
I'm pretty sure it'll be a mixture of both depending on the usage scenario, not just because of the cores but also because of the differences between LCD and AMOLED power usage.
Personally I prefer to have a normal-sized battery, for weight and size reasons, and carry a spare when I think I might need it. The S4 allows that, the HTC One doesn't.
Bear in mind there are also extended battery packs for the S3 which are just bulkier cases, so you'll no doubt have the choice with the S4.
Well I won't be getting the S4, and am not a fan of those external cases.
I don't really mind not being able to remove the battery, as I'd rather not have to power down to swap batteries. But I would want my battery to last the day with reasonable but heavy use.
What innovation? Sorry but I thought this was the least interesting Galaxy yet. Sure it's bigger and better, but to me this is Samsung going beyond just copying the iPhone (ala Galaxy 2 vs iPhone 3), now they are actually copying Apple's business practice of minor spec bumps and some gimmicks. It's the same as the iPhone 4 to the 4s and I don't see why anyone with an S3 would bother upgrading.
It's still the same cheap plastic design, just a bit bigger. I really wish with all those cool bits of hardware inside they'd make some effort to come out with a premium design. If they'd only come out with a nicer design, like the HTC One for instance it'd at least feel it deserves to be the top selling Android phone. As it is HTC One's will languish on the shelves while this will sell like hot cakes; and I know which i'd rather have.
Though i'd rather get a Nokia, better design, solid and professional, amazing cameras. Samsung have totally failed to impress me here, they'd had their chance after all their success to really go in new directions and overtake Apple, but it's just another cheap looking Android which just continues to make Android look like a cheap copy of iOS which is undeserved. Google need to get Motorola into shape and create something that properly shows of Android.
"Not out-and-out game changer?" LOL!
If any of these features came out for the iphone only one word would describe it...magical. As much as this article wants to make the S4's glass look half empty, it's not. It's like saying that Ferrari goes 200MPH, but why doesn't go 201MPH? Enjoy your turtle-speed game-not-changer iphones.
I was just curious of Samsung S4's battery life. Is it good?
You know what I would like to see? A smart battery save mode. When the battery falls beyond 20% th phone asks you to move into that state and switches your screen view to 4 inch, dims it and runs only on the two processors dissabling multitasking. Without me needing to go through the settings, it knows what drains the battery and what I use mostly and is smart enough to be super efficient. It's just software so PLEASE, do it! First one, gets my money and appreciation!
Simon, Samsung is not innovating. They are gimicking. Just like the Siri that was ment to change the world for Apple users and ofcourse noone is using, unless they want to look like crazy people. None of the functionality presented is for me, and I'm really not a difficult man to please jumping to any new hype out there.
Ive been waiting for this phone to come out so i could buy it. if its going be released in uk with a quad core processor. i dont want it. the only thing that attracts me to this phone is the exynos 5 octa processor.
