Congratulations on your new pistol! I have a g19 gen 4, and it's been flawless as well. I guess they opened a can of raid at the glock factory, because gen 4 bugs are few and far between these days.
This is a discussion on if you are still wondering about problems with the new gen 4 glocks...... within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; I have had 500 rounds rounds of 9mm set aside while I saved up for a gen4 19. 200 rounds of WWB, 200 of fed. ...
I have had 500 rounds rounds of 9mm set aside while I saved up for a gen4 19. 200 rounds of WWB, 200 of fed. champion, and 100 rounds of my favorite carry ammo, Winchester rangers. I finially got my new gen4 19 yesterday. I set aside all that ammo because I knew I would want to carry the new 19 right away. Obviously I would have to run it hard first chance I got to get it EDC ready. I picked the two cheapest 9mm value packs to see if they would fail and my favorite carry ammo to see if it would cycle. My new glock 19 was born in June of this year. Today I had a very fun expensive range day and NOT ONE SINGLE ISSUE. Not even brass to the face. Just thought I would share since I had seen I few people still questioning the gen 4s on this site and others. Never shot so many rounds in one day, probably wont ever again, but I had to make sure.

I bought my Glock 19 gen 4 a little over a year ago. I to have tried several different brands of ammo and it has never given me any problems. I have only put a little over three hundred through it. It is my edc gun and feel that it will function with out any problems should I ever need it to in a bad situation.
I waited until two weeks ago to buy my Gen4 Glock 19 after buying two new Glock 26's when they first came out and had them bad out of the box and they were not supposed to be the problem Gen 4's either. It was enough to swear me off new Glocks until now. I have only put 200 rounds through it but I used about 5 brands of FMJ and JHP's with not one glitch. In my 40+ years of shooting I have found that if I get past 200 rounds with a new gun it will not have a problem until a lot more rounds go through it. Enough to weaken the recoil spring but I have never kept a gun that long to experience it. :)
Although all the rest of my guns are either SA semi autos or DA revolvers, are all metal, feel better in my hand, produce pride of ownership and evoke some kind of feeling in me, I would pick the Glock 19 if I could only own one gun. I find it soulless and have traded in 7 Glocks in the last two years when I want to buy a new gun because Glocks do not stir me to keep them. However, the 19's grip is just long enough for my hand, easy enough to make any changes I want without the use of a gunsmith and reliable enough that I do not worry about them like I normally do with semi autos. A Glock 19 in my hand inspires more confidence than any of my sub compacts do and that goes a long way to winning a gun fight. The only other gun I own that I would consider a real fighting gun is my Sig P229. However, that is bigger and heavier than my Glock 19.
Nice! I personally am a Springfield guy have 3 XDm and an XDs .45. What made me go with XDm is that before I bought my first gun I went to a few ranges and kept getting brass with the Glocks (every one I tried was a Gen 3). However, I do like the stock triggers on the Glock more than the XDm. Reading your post makes me want to give a Gen 4 a chance.
Yup, G19 Gen 4, excellent pistol for all occasions. Right at about 1000 rounds through mine without a single malfunction of any kind. I will say that, I do wish the Glocks had a better trigger outta the box. It sucks to have to upgrade the trigger to get to the accuracy of some of the other pistols I own. Case in point. I can easily out do any of my Glocks with any of my Kahrs. I like the Glock better, but the level of accuracy is enough to make me want to carry my PM9 over my G26 Gen 4. Probably gonna do a trigger upgrade on my Gen 4 G26 and see how it effects my overall performance; if alls good there I'll add the same to my G19.
OP, congrats on the new Glock. You made an excellent choice.
glock with issue never that could never happen. They are what they are they have issue and always will.
Because people have issue
I was totally gonna say that.
I have a very strict gun control policy: if there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it.

I had mentioned this in another thread, but I have a G27, born date of May 2013: I (shockingly to me) had 10 failure to fire in the first 250 rounds. This was with three different brands of ammo, so I considered "ammo issue" ruled out. Comparing that to the other Glock I have (G23 gen4) with >1000 rounds, 0 FTE/FTF issues, I knew something was up.
I called Smyrna and talked with one of the QA guys there and I was sent a new recoil spring assembly as my light primer marks were off-centered. Since the spring replacement, 0 issues with about 300 rds through it.
I know Glock had some issues with the springs when the gen4s first came out. I really believe that was resolved and I just had a "bum spring" in mine.
No complaints here, though; Glock handled it professionally and quickly (and without the need for me to send the G27 to them!). I just avoided using the G27 as an EDC until I was convinced the issue was resolved.

If builders aren't careful, an annoying problem can work itself into their new-home designs: They become a formula.
There's the obligatory kitchen island, the overtly open-concept great room, the flashy foyer that provides an expansive view of the great room -- the list goes on. That's exactly what A & S Homes' design team tried to avoid when they drew The Nottingham, a 2,000 square-foot, two-storey show home at 35 Stan Bailie Drive in South Pointe.
"The idea behind this design was to provide a fresh break from predictable, traditional design," said Re/Max Performance Realty's Rob Hutchison, who mans the show home with stablemate Terry Gallinger. "Our designers wanted to create a home that was functional, open and bright, but that was different from so many of the show homes on the market today."
The different design begins in the foyer -- it's grand, but doesn't reveal all the great room's allure the moment you walk in the door.
"I really like its design," Hutchison said. "No question, it is a grand foyer with an 18-foot ceiling, a (mocha) porcelain tile floor and lots of space (it's about seven feet wide by 12 feet long).
"However, it's also nicely segmented. The stairwell to the right features a wall with cut-out spindles. That design creates a defined yet open space that doesn't feel isolated. Most importantly, you just get a glimpse of what's in the great room. That creates a bit of an air of mystery and makes you want to walk in to take a look."
What you find in The Nottingham's great room, which is very expansive upon closer examination, is a refreshingly different design. Instead of designing the kitchen around the island, the A & S architects opted to put in an angled peninsula that not only creates a different look, but optimizes function in its interior area.
"It's a true great room with an open, functional design that's really enhanced by the way the kitchen was designed," Hutchison said. "The angled peninsula works well in three ways. First, it provides an eating area that seats three that's angled and out of the way. Second, because the eating area is angled, it opens up room to move and enhances flow. Third, the cut-out interior opens up the kitchen's interior -- there's all kinds of room to move and create."
Adjacent to the kitchen is a semi-formal dining area (with hutch) that can be expanded or contracted to accommodate the number of people coming for dinner, Hutchison noted.
"Without question, it's a big, flexible space. Right now, it has a table for six in it, but you could easily expand the area to fit a table for 10 to 12 by moving back the furniture in the living room. There's also a door to a backyard deck that extends space for entertaining, and the eating area on the peninsula adds additional seating for three."
The finishes are also different than the norm. The kitchen is outfitted with portobello maple cabinets, white quartz countertops (there's loads of counter and cabinet space) and a taupe glass tile backsplash that perfectly complements the countertops and cabinets.
Dark-maple hardwoods, which add just the right amount of warmth, run through the kitchen, dining area and living room. Light flows freely through the great room, thanks to a literal rear wall of windows, and the living room is suitably expansive and well-finished.
"It's a big space with a huge picture window that lets in all kinds of light," Hutchison said. "The focal point is a large entertainment unit with a gas fireplace (set in a dark, grey-brown tile surround with a taupe mantel above for contrast) that has three white shelves set on either side for storage and more contrast. A painted multicolour (linear) design on either end adds even more contrast and colour."
Like the main floor, the second level is bright and well laid out. A second-floor laundry room, two oversize secondary bedrooms, a big, four-piece bath (with soaker tub) and master bedroom fan out in orderly style around a mid-size landing.
As might be expected, the master suite is the upper level's pièce de résistance.
"I like how it has been positioned -- it's off by itself for privacy and offers lots of space. I particularly like how the designers set a three-piece window high up on the front wall -- it lets in lots of light while maintaining privacy. It's a wonderful size, a very bright yet warm space that's good to wake up in."
Then there's the ensuite, wired for stereo sound.
"It's a spa-like space with all kinds of luxurious touches -- a (grey) porcelain tile floor, jetted soaker tub set in grey tile (beneath a huge, obscured glass window), five-foot shower and portobello maple vanity with dual sinks," Hutchison said. "There's also a huge walk-in closet next door that provides all kinds of storage space for wardrobes and accessories."
Downstairs, there's another 750 to 800 square feet of livable space that can be developed into a fourth bedroom, rec room, bathroom and storage.
"Like the rest of the home, it features a bright, open design due to four huge windows and a steel beam that limited the use of teleposts," said Hutchison. "If you're looking for a design that's different, yet stylish and functional, this is it."

Newbie needing advice
Hi y'all, this is my first post. Ill start by telling y'all a little bit about my hair. It's high porosity from being damaged. I dye it atleast once a month and use heat frequently. It's medium density medium/coarse texture. As far as I can tell I'm slightly protein deficient. I've never ever been happy with my hair. I would really like to enhance my natural curl and gain texture. When my hair is dry it has next to no texture. It's just there. A big frizzy wavy mop. Haha. My current routine (when I don't straighten) is:
-Pantene beautiful lengths shampoo: every 2 or 3 days (not your mothers dry shampoo on no poo days)
-Pantene beautiful lengths conditioner every day
-Immediately put hair up in a towel right after shower
-Leave in towel for about 20 mins, take out and comb in healthy sexy hair LI conditioner
-Scrunch in Shea Moisture curl enhancing smoothie
-Air dry
Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks ladies
You should definitely give the curly girl method a try. It has saved many people's hair, including my own. NO sulfates or silicones, and you really need to cut out the heat. Sulfates dry the hair, and silicones coat the hair, not letting any moisture penetrate, and drying the hair in the long run. Your frizz and poof problem is lack of moisture and heat/chemical damage.
Get yourself a sulfate free cleanser and a silicone free conditioner (shea moisture, giovanni, and devacurl are my favorite brands) and a co-wash conditioner like suave naturals might be good if you want to co-wash
Then you need a silicone free leave in conditioner, and you can actually use your curl enhancing smoothie because it is pretty moisturizing
As for a styling product, I would recommend a silicone free gel for better control. I usually recommend the LA looks gels for newbies because they are cheap and there is a wide variety so you can try a bunch out to find your perfect fit without breaking the bank. The sport is really popular. Look for a hold from 7-10.
I usually use my conditioner as a base and add stuff like eggs, mayo, olive/coconut oil, yogurt, honey, agave, etc
When your hair improves in condition, you need to do a big chop to get rid of the damaged ends. Then your hair will be healthy and grow quickly.
JessiiLeighh hit on several good points, but I need to point out that the foods she listed for protein treatments (eggs, yogurt, etc.) will not do anything in terms of getting protein into your hair--the protein molecules are too large. If you want a homemade protein treatment, your best bet is unflavored gelatin. However, with meduim/coarse hair, you should probably start with some more gentle commercial products to avoid any adverse responses to excessive protein. Keratin and silk amino acids are generally better tolerated proteins for people with otherwise protein sensitive hair. It might be that your porosity is high enough that you can handle heavy hits of protein, but I would suggest starting slowly just in case.
Thanks for your input guys. I was hoping to avoid the big chop haha my hair is short (shoulder length) and I'm trying to grow it out. I'm gonna start trying co-washing. Sometimes I think the lack of definition in my curls is due to my hair being too soft. Is that possible?? It's either super soft or super coarse and frizzy. My hair is so odd. That's why I've straightened it for years
Try protein treatments for sure. You can test a strand.
Thanks! I'll definitely be trying a protein treatment. :headbang:
Try not combing other than when detangling in the shower when head is slathered in conditioner. Combing separates waves/ curls into individual hairs which is basically what frizz is, and pulls out the waves. Also try applying products to dripping hair then removing excess water.
Thank you very helpful will be trying :)

Although we will be celebrating the Feast of the Annunciation of the Lord on March 31st this year (due to the octave of Easter), I would like to share this prayer to the glorious archangel/saint today:
Saint Gabriel the Archangel, I venerate you as the Angel of the Incarnation, because God specially appointed you to bear the messages concerning the God-Man to Daniel, Zechariah, and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Give me a very tender and devoted love for the Incarnate Word and his Blessed Mother more like your own. I venerate you also as the "Strength from God" because you are the giver of God's strength, consoler and comforter chosen to strengthen God's faithful and teach them important truths. I ask for the grace of a special power of the will to strive for holiness of life. Steady my resolutions; renew my courage; comfort and console me in the problems, trials and sufferings of daily living, as you consoled our Savior in his agony and Mary in her sorrows and Joseph in his trials. I put my confidence in you. Saint Gabriel, I ask you especially for this favor: (mention your request). Through your earnest love for the Son of God made man and for his Blessed Mother I beg of you, intercede for me that my request may be granted, if it be God's holy will.
Pray for us, Saint Gabriel the Archangel, that we may be worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.

Certified 14th April, 1857 as Bedford Reformatory SCHOOL for Boys, NORTHEY, NR TURVEY, NR. PETERBOROUGH. for 70 boys. It was re-certified 14th April, 1902 for 80 boys, 1st August 1908 for 100 boys, 7th July 1911 for 120 boys and in December 1924 for 115 boys. Renamed Carlton Training Approved School from 1933.
The school was on a two-acre farm. There was a revolt at the school in 1952.
1861 - The inspector commented " 23rd January 1861 -The first of my two visits to this reformatory was made in consequence of the successive deaths of two of the boys, who died very suddenly, and whose illness and decease gave rise to apprehensions of neglect or mismanagement. I found nothing however to justify this fear; but the general manner and appearance of the boys seemed to indicate too strict and too continuous a discipline, and the want of more relaxation and rest. I advised that the food should be cooked in a plainer and more nourishing form; that longer intervals of recreation should be allowed, and the work and schooling be made less incessant. 30th May 1861 - my second visit was caused by complaints as to the treatment of some of the boys. I was glad to find the general aspect of the lads improved, and the whole school in what I could report to be a satisfactory condition. The complaints, as far as my inquiries could enable me to judge, had no serious foundation".
1870 - Superintendent and matron, Mr & Mrs Jones
1872 - Superintendent and matron, Mr & Mrs Jones; assistant Mr Gardner.
1884 - Superintendent and matron, Mr & Mrs John Jones; schoolmaster and assistant, Mr J. Gardner assistant matron Miss Hoggett.
1885 - Superintendent and matron, Mr & Mrs John Jones; schoolmaster Mr Gardiner; assistant schoolmaster Mr Wilson; farm bailiff Mr Woodhouse.
1891 - Superintendent and matron, Mr & Mrs John Jones; schoolmaster and assistant, Mr J. Gardner; assistant schoolmaster Mr J.R. Jones; farm bailiff Mr Hancock; tailor, Mr Samuel Pinney.
1893 - Superintendent and matron, Mr & Mrs John Jones; Schoolmaster and assistant, Mr J. Gardner Assistant; assistant schoolmaster Mr. F.E.C. Jones; farm bailiff, and laundry-woman, Mr. & Mrs. G.A. Settles; labour master Mr. E.L. Gilkes.
1900 - Superintendent, Mr. James Reader Jones; matron Mrs Woodman Jones; assistant matron Miss E.A. Jones; schoolmaster Mr. John Gardner; assistant schoolmaster Mr E.A. Upton appointed 1st February 1900 to succeed Mr J.E.C. Jones who left 18th January 1900.
1903 - Superintendent and matron Mr. & Mrs. J. Reader Jones; assistant matron Miss E.A. Jones. The schoolmaster Mr. Murray left 31st May 1903. Mr Cowley was appointed in June 1903 and discharged in January. Mr E.A. Saunders was appointed on January 19th 1903. Bandmaster and drill instructor Mr Frederick Lincoln was appointed 1st January 1903.

Twenty years earlier, I spent an entire summer guiding sea-kayak journeys amid these pastoral southern Gulf Islands – part of an area now referred to as the Salish Sea. The region was, and remains, surprisingly wild, given that it lies within sight of Vancouver and its North Shore mountains.
Fate and circumstance kept me away for two decades, until last spring when, on a whim, I bought an inflatable stand-up paddleboard. Living in British Columbia's landlocked interior, I loved surfing, missed the ocean and was looking for a cure.
Report Typo/Error
The board was tippier than I'd anticipated, and within the first five minutes I'd fallen ungraciously into the icy waters of a mountain lake near my home. And yet, I recognized something magical in the activity: the sweeping view that came from standing upright (as opposed to hunched over in a canoe or kayak), the gentle flex of the paddle in hand, the jostling of waves underfoot. I paddled six kilometres the first day. Ten the next. Then 20. And 30. I was hooked. The next week, I paddled 50 kilometres down a longer lake, deflated the board, rolled it up and hitchhiked home.
Somewhere along the way, the idea of paddling to Victoria from Vancouver sprang to mind. And once I'd imagined the journey, I could not let the idea go. It was a route I'd traversed hundreds of times aboard BC Ferries, but that's what drew me – the opportunity to do something so routine in such a novel manner. It felt like true exploration, right outside the backdoor. Crossing the exposed waters of Georgia Strait would present a serious challenge, but I was fit, knew exactly the speeds my board could average and trusted my judgements on weather and tides.
So six weeks after the board arrived, I tossed it into a duffel bag and hopped on a plane.
On a sunny June day, amid a congestion of dog walkers and joggers on Vancouver's Spanish Banks beach, I lashed supplies to the board, waded into the ocean and paddled away. Two friends decided to join me, and they bobbed silently alongside in a double sea kayak.
Beyond the University of British Columbia, we passed the popular clothing-optional Wreck Beach. The water grew choppy and a series of enormous jetties – some reaching seven kilometres out into Georgia Strait – forced us far from shore. Immense aircraft bound for Asia roared overhead. The Fraser River spewed its heavy load of silt into the ocean, turning the water the colour of coffee, and we navigated a maze of mud flats while passing its delta. As the sun dropped, we set up camp on Richmond's Steveston Jetty. A stone's throw way, evening kite flyers and walkers enjoyed a shoreline trail. But our eyes were drawn west – across open waters – where the Gulf Islands floated beneath a crimson sunset.
The next day was tough: Strong gales forced us to seek shelter in the lee of Vancouver's immense container terminal. Georgia Strait lay ahead – a 25-kilometre open-water crossing that would be the crux of the trip. Not until evening did the winds begin to drop, and when they did, we set off at a torrid pace, hoping to reach the far side before dark. As the flooding tide rushed northward, glassy upwellings the size of football fields blossomed around us.
Our route intersected four ferry channels and two international shipping lanes, so before leaving shore, I'd wrapped my baseball cap in tinfoil. It seemed hokey, but a U.S. Coast Guard study showed this to be among the most effective methods of reflecting radar, and thus increasing visibility. Before long it became clear the foil worked: Several ship captains hailed us on the VHF radio, alerting us to their position and offering encouragement. Four hours later, as the sun's final rays waned and the sea turned black, we reached Galiano Island.
In the morning, a gently ebbing tide whisked us through Active Pass, a constriction between Galiano and Mayne islands busy with ferry traffic. A colony of curious harbour seals followed my board, heads reaching high for a peek before disappearing below the surface.
We had finally arrived at my old stomping grounds, and much remained as I remembered: the peeling ochre bark of shoreline arbutus, the tang of salt and sea grass, sailboats heeled under gentle winds. Passing the Belle Chain Islets – where I must have camped 20 times – brought a surge of nostalgia.
But the name of the area itself – the Salish Sea – had changed. Proposed by a Canadian marine biologist, and adopted by both the United States and Canada in 2003, it unifies a jumble of coastal regions – Gulf Islands, Georgia Strait, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Puget Sound – under a single 18,000-square-kilometre ecosystem umbrella.
Also new to me: the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve – encompassing 16 islands, along with numerous islets and reefs. It was created in 2003 to protect "the most heavily utilized and impacted of all marine regions on the West Coast," according to Parks Canada. (A proposed parallel National Marine Conservation Area Reserve – protecting underwater resources – is in the feasibility study stage.)
Twice a day, with each rise and fall of the tide, immense volumes of water are drawn into the Salish Sea and then expelled again. The associated currents and upwellings – which bring nutrient rich water to the surface – are the source of the region's robust marine life. An estimated two million sea birds pass annually, while salmon, herring, sea lions, orca and porpoise all thrive here. As do red rock crabs, and the remnants of their shells – smashed by hungry eagles – littered the rocky outcrop of our third camp. After a curry dinner, we settled into sleeping bags, watching the distant lights of Saanich. Already the modern world felt like a distant memory.
The next day took us down increasingly affluent shorelines, past glass mansions and barking poodles, as we drew closer to Victoria. The stand-up paddleboard generated a lot of interest from shoreline walkers. "I can't wait to give it a try," one senior woman declared. "I've heard its great for the core!" Her husband clearly did not share the same enthusiasm, but I urged her on; almost anyone can be up and paddling within minutes. "It's lots of fun," I promised.
Five days and 150 kilometres after leaving Vancouver, we rounded Gonzales Point and entered the Strait of Juan de Fuca, leading to the Pacific. The ocean grew angry and grey. Whitecaps leaped up, and for several kilometres I was forced to paddle on my knees. At last we ducked into the shelter of Victoria Harbour, floating beneath the visiting mega-yacht Athena, reportedly for sale. Half an hour later, my paddleboard was rolled up and we were headed home. Aboard a ferry, gazing over waters, shores and islets we'd explored only days earlier, I felt the same thrill I'd known as a child – as if I was seeing this familiar landscape for the first time.
You don't need a standup paddleboard to explore the Gulf Islands. BC Ferries (bcferries.com) offer daily service from Tsawwassen (mainland) and Swatz Bay (Vancouver Island) to Pender, Mayne, Galiano and Saturna Islands.
Where to stay Plenty of cozy B&Bs and rentals dot the islands, including the lovely Saturna Lodge (saturna.ca). Other listings can be found at mayneisland.com.
What to do Bikes offer the perfect way to explore the quiet backroads. You can rent one at Salt Spring Adventure Co. (saltspringadventures.com). Or CycleTreks (cycletreks.com) offers three-day fully guided and catered tours.
Hike the exposed rocky headland of East Point on Saturna Island (eastpointresort.ca) where tidal currents race past and orca are often spotted just offshore.

MTS says that it has launched its 3G network in Belarus, offering peak download speeds of up to 21Mbps. The network is currently available in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, and will be expanded to the major cities and regional centers of the country by the end of the year.
In addition, the company has now fulfilled its 3G license requirement for the commercial 3G network in Russia following the launch of the network in the last remaining federal subject, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. MTS now has commercial 3G networks in all Russian federal subjects.
The conditions of the 3G license that the firm was granted in April 2007 stipulated that the mobile network operator had to launch commercial 3G networks in all Russian federal subjects by May 2010.
During the first quarter of 2010, 3G traffic on MTS' network in Russia grew 10.9 times year-on-year. The share of 3G in total traffic has increased to 59% in Q1 2010 from 28% in Q1 2009. The most avid 3G users reside in Sochi, Krasnodar, Saint Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don, Novosibirsk, Novorossiysk, Surgut, Kemerovo, Samara, Kazan and Vladivostok, where 3G was launched for some time now.

Dear Dr Bastos,
Firstly I would like to thank you for allowing me to visit your dental practice this summer as part of my elective program.

It was refreshing to learn about this aspect of dentistry, and has also sparked an interest in aesthetics and orthodontics.
Thank you for all your help and advice,

Thank you very much for allowing my colleagues and I to visit your dental practice as part of our elective studies over the summer.

Dear Dr Bastos, Hope you are well. Please allow me a few moments to introduce myself, my name is Zareen Ahmed and I am a 4th year dental students from King's College London. I am currently in the process of researching for my elective this summer, in South America.During my research I came across your dental practice. After reading the many reviews from students who were very grateful for all that you taught them, especially the exposure to techniques that are at the forefront of Dentistry, I too would be very keen to visit your practice to observe your work. I have spoken with a student that came to visit you a few years ago, who highly recommended that I should contact you regarding my elective. I am therefore hoping that you will too allow me to undertake my elective observing you within your practice during this summer. I am still in the process of organising my travel arrangements but I anticipate that I will be in Rio towards the 20th August 2014 and would absolutely love to be able to visit your practice, meet you in person, and observe cutting edge dentistry. I eagerly await you responseKindest regards, Zareen AhmedSent from Samsung Mobile

--QB Philip Rivers -- the NFL's highest-rated passer -- completed 21-of-31 passes for 287 yards and a career-high four touchdowns. Rivers was sacked only once and was not intercepted against a team that came in ranked No. 3 in interceptions. Now with 32 touchdown passes this season, his mark stands as the second-highest single-season total in team history.
--On the final play of the first half, K Nate Kaeding recorded a franchise-record 57-yard field goal, padding the Chargers lead before halftime, 20-10.
--WR Vincent Jackson finished with seven receptions for 111 yards, marking his third 100-yard game this season. He went over 1,000 yards on the season (1,051) for the first time in his career, making him the first Chargers wide receiver to record 1,000 receiving yards since 2001 (Curtis Conway).
RB LaDainian Tomlinson
Al Messerschmidt/Getty
--The Bolts defense made an impressive mark against the Bucs by forcing three turnovers. LB Stephen Cooper and rookie CB Antoine Cason each grabbed an interception. This marked Cooper's fourth interception in the last three games. Cason ran his pick back 59 yards for the first touchdown of his career.
--RB Darren Sproles marked his season-long with a 43-yard punt return. Four plays later, he grabbed a pass from Rivers and raced 32 yards down the sideline for a touchdown to put the Chargers ahead, 34-24, with only 7:29 left to play.
What Didn't Work
--The Buccaneers ran for 111 yards -- 21 yards more than the Chargers -- and registered two rushing touchdowns. Most of the damage was done by Jeff Garcia, who led the team with six rushes for 45 yards. The Chargers must tighten their defense against mobile quarterbacks; the next QB they face, Jay Cutler, ran for two touchdowns in last week's game against the Buffalo Bills.
--The Bolts' secondary allowed Tampa Bay WR Antonio Bryant to go off with six catches for 127 yards. With CB Antonio Cromartie failing to make the same significant impact he did last season, the Chargers need other players to step up with tighter coverage.
What's Next
With the win against Tampa Bay and the Denver Broncos' loss to the Bills, the Bolts have a chance of making it to the playoffs and hosting the Indianapolis Colts. Next Sunday, the Bolts will host the Broncos on Sunday Night Football to determine which team will grab the division title and move ahead to the postseason.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to assist you. I encourage you to ask me for clarification, if you are not clear with my Answer.
My wife put her fathers car in her name becuase he did not have a liscence. Now he has a lisence and wants to put the title back in his name. Will the bankruptcy courts look at this as fraud? We don't drive his car, and his wife and him have a pending case with immigration and didn't want to get pulled over too often. My wife and I have two working cars and one busted car under my name. Will they come after her fathers car if we file chapter 7?
Response: If your wife puts the title of the car back to the father and then files for bankruptcy protection, the change will be considered a fraudulent transfer and attempt to hinder and delay and frustrate the claims of her creditors. The Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustee is authorized to avoid the transfer to take the car back from her father. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 548 subsections (a) and (e) a bankruptcy trustee can void fraudulent transfers made within 2 years prior to bankruptcy filing and in some instances within 10 years prior to bankruptcy filing if transfer was made to a trust.

In case you haven't seen it, Wired News ran a story this morning in which David Kravets sits down with the most hated man in technology — CEO and president of SCO Group, Darl McBride — to talk about the recent court decision against SCO.
On the outside chance you've been on an interstellar journey for the last ten years here's the background: SCO has been fighting it out with Novell over the rights to Unix (and consequently large portions of Linux, according to SCO) for some time now. The majority of the dispute revolves around the wording of the purchase, which according to McBride, says at one point that SCO is purchasing "all right, title and interest in the Unix operating system," but then later says "excluding copyrights and patents."
McBride and SCO tout the most liberal interpretation of the former passage and are suing over the later, but a Utah judge recently ruled that SCO did not own Unix copyrights outright. However, McBride tells Wired News that the ruling also says "copyrights of Unix up to 1995 are owned by Novell. (But) any of the copyrights developed by SCO after 1995 are owned by SCO."
It's an interesting read if you've been following the case and it gives a look a face behind the name that Linux users everywhere love to drag through the mud.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

NCAA WRESTLING: Penn State wrestler accepts ARD
STATE COLLEGE (AP) — A two-time NCAA wrestling champion at Penn State has been accepted into a special probation program for first-time offenders in hopes of resolving drunken driving charges.
The Centre Daily Times reported Ed Ruth, 23, was accepted into the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program earlier this week. Defendants in the program don't plead guilty. They're placed on probation and can have their arrest record expunged if they complete the supervision without incident.
State College police say Ruth's blood alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit when he hit a tree while trying to park along the street Nov. 13.
Ruth was suspended from the team for about a month, returning Dec. 15.

Naomi Shihab Nye was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1952. Her father was a Palestinian refugee and her mother an American of German and Swiss descent, and Nye spent her adolescence in both Jerusalem and San Antonio, Texas. Her experience of both cultural difference and different cultures has influenced much of her work. Known for poetry that lends a fresh perspective to ordinary events, people, and objects, Nye has said that, for her, "the primary source of poetry has always been local life, random characters met on the streets, our own ancestry sifting down to us through small essential daily tasks."

What Should I Know?
Safety & Testing
The South African National Blood Service (SANBS) issues over one million blood components annually.
Blood donor recruitment in South Africa is based on a World Health Organisation endorsed programme, which specifies the selection of voluntary, non-remunerated blood donors.
Low-risk blood donors are identified as volunteer blood donors who donate blood solely to help those in dire need of blood. Securing and maintaining a safe blood supply in a country with one of the highest HIV infection rates in the world is a constant challenge to the SANBS.
The HIV/Aids pandemic in South Africa has focused particular attention on the importance of preventing transfusion-transmitted infection. In the past, strategies to promote blood safety tended to focus primarily on screening blood for transfusion-transmissible infections (TTIs). However, while systematic screening is essential, it is insufficient in itself to ensure the safety of the blood supply.
SANBS' strategy for blood safety emphasises on an integrated three-fold approach. Effective quality assurance forms an essential part of this approach.
- The collection of blood only from voluntary non-remunerated blood donors from low-risk blood donors and the use of stringent donor selection procedures.
- The screening of all donated blood for transfusion-transmissible infections, including HIV, hepatitis viruses, syphilis and other infectious agents, and blood grouping, compatibility testing and processing of blood.
- A reduction in unnecessary transfusions through the appropriate clinical use of blood. These include the use of intravenous replacement fluids and other simple alternatives to transfusion.
Recruiting voluntary, non-remunerated blood donors
SANBS employs various educational strategies to inform members of the public and regular blood donors of issues pertaining supply of sufficient, safe blood. The message of safe blood is disseminated through local and national media or conducting educational talks.
Both potential blood donors and regular blood donors are required to complete a self-exclusion questionnaire each time they wish to donate blood. They also need to undergo a "mini-medical" prior to donating blood, where trained staff check their haemoglobin level and blood pressure and ensure that the donor is healthy and not at risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases.
If the potential donor is unable to donate blood for a health or medical reason, they are deferred for a period of time. People who participate in sexual behaviour which places them at increased risk (such as having casual sex), are advised not to donate blood and will not be accepted as blood donors.
The commitment, honesty and responsibility of regular blood donors ensure the safety of blood supply. SANBS encourages donors to give blood for purely altruistic reasons - solely for the sake of helping others.
Never donate blood to have a "Free HIV test"
Some people still live under the misconception that they can get a free HIV test if they donate blood at one of the blood donation clinics. This misconception poses a risk to patients and is a constant challenge to SANBS. The company is committed to providing sufficient, safe blood to patients who need blood transfusion as part of their medical treatment.

The Minerva Virus by Brian Shuster
If you recall the internationally syndicated comic strip CHAOS, you already know that its creator, Brian Shuster, has a creative offbeat intellect. In writing this book, he adds his extensive knowledge as computer technology inventor to develop a fascinating scenario that is levels beyond what most of us could even conceive. But once he describes how a single computer virus could evolve into a life form with super-human intelligence and abilities that reach across the world's entire computer networks at once, and what an entity with that power could do, you realize that something like this could actually happen.
The Minerva Virus is a book that is both a good read as a fiction thriller as well as one that will keep you thinking for days after you close the cover. How beneficial or how dangerous would it be if all of the information on all of the computers in the world could be combined and processed by a single digital "brain"? Why can't we find proof of intelligent life forms on any other planets? Will technology ultimately cause our destruction and how do we stop it from happening?
The Minerva Virus explores the relationships between humans and the technology they create. What do you do when your creation evolves into an artificial intelligence with goals of its own to run the world and you no longer have control over its actions? Shuster's scenario of how a single computer virus mutates and spreads in a way that circumvents all known computer protection software until every computer in the world is infected in less than a week, and then connects them all to form Minerva, an Internet entity with cognizant intelligence, seems frighteningly possible. Wrapped within the plot of Minerva's campaign to take control of the world is a story of fascinating human characters, from Jupiter - a quirky computer hacker, to Quinton -a brilliant computer virus security expert, to Stephanie - a beautiful biochemist specializing in digital evolution, who also happens to be the President of the United State's daughter.
Among the first to realize the threat the virus presents, their relationships develop as they combine their strengths and skills to try to find a way to stop Minerva - a difficult task when you have to also avoid detection by an entity which controls and monitors everything operated by computer technology including all forms of digital communication from email to phone calls. They try to warn the world what is happening, but no one including the President will believe them, until Minerva finally reveals herself in a press conference as the "new guardian of humanity" - appearing in the form of a beautiful woman on every computer monitor and television in the world and speaking in the appropriate language for each country.
Minerva strives to convince everyone that her tremendous abilities will aid mankind and ultimately save our species from destruction. After explaining why there is no sign of life on other planets, she announces that if humans accept her that Earth will flourish and survive; if not, humans will cause the destruction of their own existence. To demonstrate the extent of her power, she shuts down the financial markets across the world and causes blackouts in several major cities.
The US government finally realizes that it is under attack by a powerful cyber force. But fighting an enemy who controls all communications and computerized equipment changes all the rules and the US government struggles to respond, without success. The final plan that the President's advisors conceive to successfully stop Minerva from taking ultimate control would render the entire North American Internet unusable for months. All basic communications and digital service systems would fail, and the US would likely erupt in uncontrollable rioting and chaos.
Only Quinton, Jupiter and Stephanie possess the information that may be able to bring Minerva down without destroying the system. They wildly race the clock, attempting to stay alive until they can find a way to stop Minerva and save the world as we know it.
This is a book that is both a good read as a fiction thriller as well as one that will keep you thinking for days after you close the cover. How beneficial or how dangerous would it be if all of the information on all of the computers in the world could be combined and processed? Why can't we find proof of intelligent life forms on any other planets? Will technology ultimately cause our destruction and how do we stop it from happening?

Behind the UN Force Intervention Brigade in DR Congo
The UN Force Intervention Brigade in the Democratic Republic of the Congo used South African helicopter gunships against both the M23 and ADF militias. South African mining researcher David Van Wyk said that this was not simply a U.N. operation to eliminate militias in the eastern DRC, as reported, but also the signal of a new resource war which could become another African World War.

The gunship shown is a Mi-24 "Hind" gunship from Russia, manufactured likely during the Soviet era. The Rooivalk does not look like this one and if you really are short of a photo, I can send you one.

Don't you think that an extra seating is always welcome? Poufs and floor cushions are my favorite! They doesn't take room and you can also use them as footrest. To make this one, I upcycled placemats and used old clothes for the filling! Don't worry you can also make it with fabric (if you don't have old placemats on hand).
Cut of placemats in the middle lengthwise. Or if you choose to use fabric, cut 8 rectangles of 6' x 17'
Sew all the long sides together, and make a cylinder. The placemats I used didn't fray. But you may have to serge the edges before sewing. It will depend of the fabric you choose.
Cut two circles of 15' diameter in an other fabric. Pin them with the fabric cylinder (wrong side out). Don't forget to leave an gap without sewing in the bottom circle to put the filling.
Start filling the pouf. First use some filling foam to have a soft finish on the seating area. Then keep filling with old clothes and scrap fabric. I will recommend to cut them in straps for uniform filling. Tamp out the fabrics for the ottoman has enough rigidity. When you are done filling, sew the opening with a few hand stitches.
Make 8 tassels in a matching color yarn. Here is the tutorial Who to make tassels?
Attach them with a stitch and a knot on the side of the ottoman.
And done! Enjoy your new pouf! My kids love it, and of course fight to seat on it. Not because of the nice design and pattern but because the one who has it can sit closer from the TV!

slow news day. Maybe his boss is a jackass and made him report on this. So in retaliation, he made a piece to mock everyone in the story, but made it serious enough that he wouldn't get fired. End result: a funny youtube video.

rofl! Here, TerriLi:

*insert still photo of fake cardboard bear in the lady's backyard*
"...except real."
"This recreation identifies how witnesses say the bear escaped into the woods."

..."naturalist explains that Black bears can be on the ground..."
*shot of cardboard bear leaning up against a tree*
..."or can be in trees."
*intern grabs silhouette and makes it "climb" up a tree*
And then they mention that the naturalist (who is sitting with the cardboard "bear") has never actually SEEN a bear, but has "come close" since she's found bear poop.

I need to get a muzzle for my boy. He's 1 1/2 years old and 88 lbs. I need one for trips to vet, groomers, or just the random I need one moments. He's never bitten anyone but does make certain people nervous. I would like one that is comfortable, and roomy enough for him to drink, pant etc with it on. The problem is there are so many out there and honestly I don't know crap about them.
I have never used one, but here is a thread http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...nd-muzzle.html If you page down thru the posts - there will be a picture.
I used a fabric muzzle on Rocky, if your training the dog and just want a muzzle as back up it's fine. Rocky never bit anyone either but he was leery around strangers. I used it until he was comfortable with people and the first time or two to the vet.
It's not a "real" muzzle and the dog can work it off if given the chance but it sounds like it's what you need for now,
I like this muzzle - it is not one I would use on a wildly aggressive dog but I keep them around for if I need it. I did have to punch another hole in the strap. It seems to be comfortable for long wear and reasonably durable. EDIT, the size is off. You measure for the size; mine is a 9.
Italian Basket Dog Muzzle Size 6
I would just feel better using one as needed. Diago is kinda weary around people he dont know and other dogs. He will get vocal and rarely tufts but Once he knows you he's just a big teddy bear. Unfortunately people around here are not exactly social or community oriented and he's had four occurrences last summer of dogs charging him out of no where (they just came flying out of their yards while we were walking). So he's only some what socialized but I'm trying g to work with him on these issues.
OK dogs charging him is not where you want a muzzle on your dog! A dogs first line of defense is you! Carry a big stick and use it if you have too or bear spray or mace!
If your dog gets attacked out in the field do you want him wearing a muzzle? That's a whole different story!
The woofing and the leery are cause he's fearful, Just let him be around people without engaging "No you can't pet my dog, he's in training" while you step between your dog and people. Dogs don't need to sniff each other on walks, no engagement after awhile he see dogs and other people as no big deal.
Then he can become the calm, I could careless about strangers and other dogs kinda dog he was meant to be! :)

I like Jafco muzzles.
When I lost one, I bought another one the same. Though I cut off the strap above and the side ones, just leaving decorative studs, you don't need them - the stap around the back is plenty enough. I often use public transport, we work in busy areas and having the muzzle on is necessary.
comfort or look. A wire cage will give them some freedom but the looks could be scary to people. then you have the kind that fits their muzzle but no freedom there. It depends what you are looking for and your dog.

The iOSphere is thrilled to a report, or more accurately to gossip that forecasts Oct. 15 as the date on which the iPad 5 and iPad mini 2 will be revealed in all their glory. Last year, the first iPad mini was unveiled Oct. 23, so Halloween comes early this year.
Also this week: a look at anti-reflective display technology in an Apple patent and how Apple could gain the love of hate-filled consumers by using it in the next iPads; the daring prediction that the Next iPads will, like the iPhone 5S, have 64-bit processors; and new photos show how the new iPads will be identical except for their size.
You read it here second.
The big rumor for the iPad Mini 2 is that it will go retina. Personally, I think that there needs to be a second half to this rumor — a nice surprise in the iPad Mini 2′s price. Apple can ill afford to jack up the price of the iPad Mini 2, even with a retina display, so I predict that Tim Cook will brag about how they added retina to the Mini 2 but kept the price the same. (Thanks ahead of time, Timmy, but the iPad Mini should have been under $300 in the first place.) The real challenge for Apple this year will be to see if they can rekindle mainstream interest in the iPad proper, and not have the iPad Mini continue to cannibalize sales.
— Michael "Mikey" Nace, editor, iPhone5NewsBlog, explaining in zero-sum logic how the "real challenge" for Apple now is make the full-size iPad more successful because the mini keeps cannibalizing sales despite Apple's huge mistake in pricing it over $300.
iPad 5 to be announced Oct. 15
In astounding display of rumor hubris, an offhand comment has almost the entire iOSphere in thrall to the conviction that the iPad 5 and iPad mini 2 will be announced on Tuesday, Oct. 15.
The date was contained in the third paragraph, of a three-paragraph post [via Google Translate] at the French-language Apple fan site MacGeneration.
[MORE: 20 essential business apps for iPhone and iPad]
The headline is "Stocks at the lowest [for] iMac and a special event on October 15th" and leads with a claim that the next iMac will be in short supply. It ends with this: "According to the latest gossip, Apple held a special event again around October 15. The Cupertino company will present the new iPad - as she takes the opportunity to say a word about the Mac Haswell?"
MacGeneration gives no hint as to where it heard this gossip.
Mark Gurman cleverly inverted that post (and displayed his grasp of French by using the word "rumeur") and elevated "gossip" into "information" and even a "report." Here's the headline to his own post at 9to5Mac: "Rumeur: Apple's next event to be held on October 15th?"
"According to France-based MacGeneration, which has offered both accurate and inaccurate information in the past, Apple's next media event will be held on Tuesday, October 15th," Gurman writes. "Apple is expected to debut a series of new products by the end of this year, including multiple new iPad models, several new Macs, OS X Mavericks, and perhaps an update to Apple TV hardware."
9to5Mac was only one of an endless flock of Websites wondering, proclaiming, contemplating, debating, "reporting," and disparaging a date proclaimed by its originator as nothing but "gossip."
Maybe the gossip formula was "Increment by one month the iPhone 5S announcement date and add five." Which makes as much sense as anything.
iPad 5 will have anti-reflective display and thereby gain the love of consumers
The "news" of the anti-reflective display follows the well-known and well-worn iOSphere pattern of taking any Apple patent application and applying to the Next iDevice.
PatentlyApple posted a summary of the patent in question, for which the application was filed in late 2012.
It apparently uses a "UV mask that includes an anti-reflection film and a UV absorption film to prevent reflections from the mask to the mother glass [of the display]," according to PatentlyApple's Jack Purcher.
Reducing reflectivity in a display is actually an area where Apple, and other vendors, can create a big improvement in the "viewability" of the screen. Light reflects not only off the cover glass, but off the various layers of the actual display assembly. Reducing that makes a display more visible in bright light, including outdoors.
But that isn't enough for some in the iOSphere.
"A new recently discovered patent filed by Apple suggests that the next iPad could come equipped with a much needed anti-reflective screen," says Radu Tyrsina, writing at the clickbait site, iPadForums.
"Of course, there currently are third-party anti-glare products that you can use with your iPad or iPhone, but Apple could gain the love of consumers and probably the confidence of investors if they decide to deploy this technology with the next iPads," he explains confidently.
It's easy to understand how it all came about….
Tim Cook: Damn it! Consumers hate us and investors don't have any confidence in us. What can we do?
Jonathan Ive: Just use anti-glare technology in the iPad screen.
Tim Cook: You're a genius!
iPad 5 will have 64-bit A7X chip
Another thrilling chapter in the iOSphere's Penetrating Insight Into the Mind of Apple.
Just one example is Erik Pineda's post for International Business Times, which goes on, and on and on, about how the iPad 5 will certainly have a 64-bit chip.
He's basing this on a CNET post, by Brooke Crothers, who actually talked to a chip analyst and argues that the 64-bit A7 in iPhone 5S was "necessary" and "meaningful."
Pineda calls Crothers' opinion post a "report" and assures us that the A7 is "likely paving the way for the same chip architecture to be found on the iPad 5 and the Retina-laced iPad Mini 2 on release date."
What was Pineda expecting? That having beaten the entire industry to the punch with a 64-bit mobile chip in iPhone 5S, Apple would then decide to not incorporate a version of it in the next iPad?
Crothers doesn't address the Next iPad directly, but he argues that the "what 64-bit gets me" is "a future iPad" or some other Apple device that can address more than the 4GB of memory addressable by a 32-bit chip.
The A7 doesn't gain in memory addressability; but it does gain performance benefits by using features of the ARMv8 instruction set, features not available to 32-bit ARM-based processors. What that also enables is a mobile computer that has the capabilities of a desktop computing architecture, increasingly able to be not merely a "content consumer" but a "content creator," in conjunction with a growing array of cloud services.
iPad 5 will look just like the iPad mini 2…except, you know, bigger
The indefatigable Australian whatever-he-is Sonny Dickson posted a pile of new photos showing what he says are the iPad 5 and the iPad mini 2 in relationship to each other.
As you can see from photos like this one, the two devices look apparently completely identical except for their overall dimensions.
Dickson apparently still hasn't been able to get his hands on a ruler Down Under because, as usual, he doesn't bother to add details like…exactly what are the dimensions of the two new tablets?
What's actually more interesting is the photos he posted last week, showing what appears to be the iPad 5 with the existing fourth-generation iPad. If this is the new tablet's exterior, it is indeed slightly narrower than the current iPad. But, again, Dickson hasn't bothered to do the obvious thing measure the gift he's been given.

Where's George? Finally In Jail
It took 45 days too long, but he has finally been arrested and charged with 2nd degree murder in the case of Trayvon Martin. He'll be standing in front a judge tomorrow copping his plea.
Finally, we will get the opportunity to see if the justice system works when the victim is an unarmed Black teen and the perp is a white male with a history of profiling African Americans and anger issues to go with it
Looks like we'll have another Florida trial the country and the world will be watching unfold in its television screens.

I encouraged my human to move to Florida as I was getting on in years and wanted to spend my 'retirement' basking in the sun and warmth of a tropical clime. Well, apparently South Florida is not hip to my needs! Upon waking at the regular 3:00 am to comb my human's hair, it felt a chill. I sauntered over to the window and -gasp- noticed the thermometer said it was 48 degrees outside. AND only 70 inside. I immediately jumped on the bed, woke my human and encouraged her to heat of the inside and outside, as well as feed me as the chilly temperatures increase the appetite. Her eyes rolled back in her head and she flopped onto the pillow, ignoring me completely. All cats know that is just like throwing down the gauntlet. Ah ha! A challenge. I patted her face, moving quickly to combing her bangs and tapping her nose. After she rolled over in an attempt to hide, I started pawing the back of her neck most insistenly. After a few minutes of this, she sat right up and looked at me. I put on my most piteous face and mewed at her. She sighed, then stood up and started for the kitchen (despite my complaints, she is rather well trained). After a few steps she too noticed that the tile floor was rather cold, and that is was chilly in the house. She opened the door for the skin test and squeaked!! I will not continue to bore you all with all the steps for feeding, new water, etc, but will wrap up by stating I ended the hour with a full tummy and a warm blanket-clad lap on the sofa, blissfully asleep. My human was complaining about the lack of suitable programing on TV at 4 am as I was drifting off.......

power loss on one circuit in house
Lost power on one circuit in 5-br house: most of master bedroom, all of 5th bedroom, hallway light and hallway bathroom. Even though mult outlets replaced, wired properly, 3 out of 4 in each affected bedroom read "hot/ground reversed" . Circuit breaker NOT tripped. Shutting off main power for awhile did lead to restoration of power to affected areas ONLY IF hallway light was left on. Turning on bathroom light caused hallway light to become brighter. Turning on a bedroom light worked once, but a second light shut everything down again. It was also noted that the hallway light switch which has been replaced, suddenly controlled ALL the following lights : affected bathroom and affected bedrooms. Power company ruled out external or breaker box problems. No GFI outlets upstairs. Junction box in atic above these rooms appears normal. No odors or sounds from any outlets or switches......thoughts???
Re-check all recent work. You have a loose neutral somewhere....and perhaps a mis-wired circuit.:yes:
I will bet your neutral is faulty !
Start at the first thing in the line,
Check for a active hot line,
use a non contact tester !
If the hot line tests as active,
Then use a volt meter across the hot line and active line,
If this test is negative, then your neutral is bad.
If both tests are positive,
then move onto the next thing in the line
and repeat both tests.
You will soon find were the fault is !
You need to do both tests,
to test both the hot line,
and also the neutral line.
I suspect your problem lies in the neutral line.
How did you wire the outlets?
If you used the back-stab feature (wires pushed into clamps on the back of the outlet), then I would bet this is your problem.
Do a search on Pig Tails. That is how I prefer to wire up outlets.....unless it's the last one in a string.
