Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: lawman
For me it lacks:
More modern layout ( get a designer in)
allow links (no follow), but still with moderation. Hyperthetical is better with real life examples
Perl sql (DBI) routines suck and are slow. To make it work would require moving all the code to PHP. What are you doing for the next two years?
> quoting
Yes, threads degrade quickly after much quoting is started. You can easily kill a thread on vb by going nuts in a thread with quotes.
> design
There will be some changes available. All optional. What we are trying to do is support the PHPbb template system. That can provide instant access to several thousand templates for users to use here.
> basic is what it is all about
You logged out and looked at a thread recently?
I can only say I'm glad to see the poll results of the current poll.
As for quotes, typing [quote] and copying and pasting yourself is a nice way to limit their use. The only thing which does seem missing is attribution for the quote. Were a 'reply with quote' button to be added I'd hope that it would be putting "in reply to <link>" rather than actually repeating the previous content... seen that elsewhere and it works well.
Since it's ask for fixing things season, my list relates to things which shouldn't happen within [code] section:-
Smileys shouldn't get inserted:
[[1][/1]code]print "Hello ".($membername):[1][/1]($membername)?("guest");[/code[1][/1]]
print "Hello ".($membername):($membername)?("guest");
? marks shouldn't have leading whitespace scrubbed:
[[1][/1]code]preg_match("/ [1] [/1]?/is","",$string);[/code[1][/1]]
I appreciate that smileys can be disabled for the whole post; but the setting gets lost on edit and is easy to forget
Pipes � shouldn't get broken... (although used as field delimiters, would be nice to have them changed back on output due to being key parts of many programming languages - perhaps changing them to | and allowing that through unescaped would be a solution)
Indented code support would be brilliant. I know it's bad for small browsers and the like. Not sure how you get around that. A limit of 3/4 spaces used for indenting might allow clarifying structure/loops without being excessive.
Final attempt to remove broken posts...
Perl sql (DBI) routines suck and are slow. To make it work would require moving all the code to PHP. What are you doing for the next two years?
What about mirroring the data in MySQL and only using PHP for search functionalities? Wouldn't even require being done all at once... since it's an upgrade from having nothing at all, you could design the db, code the engine, and port the data in chunks, stepping backward in time. That would make recent posts searchable before older ones, which would allow for checking on industry news that might be getting discussed, without having to wait for any of the se's to spider, index, and publish the pages (which is the biggest pita concerning the lack of search imo, aside from sorting by date).
How is the data being stored now?

[edit reason] see sticky [/edit]
show me and off-the-shelf php/*sql search engine that will work on 10m pages.
Doesn't have to. Again, since there's nothing there now, anything is really an upgrade... force them to restrict the searches by date with a maximum window of 1 year. Would that work?
Or, if you want both exposure and free labor, since WebmasterWorld is an industry standard, start the WebmasterWorld-Indexation project, the open source effort to develop a PHP/MySQL engine capable of indexing and searching massive legacy sites. :)
Absolutely not, beyond a shadow of a doubt. I hope you don't mean not being able to search any further back than the current one-year period of time, because there are tons of answers to queries that date as far back as 2002 (or older). How can you specify a date when searching about a mod_rewrite issue? How can you specify a date for a question about CSS for nested unordered lists within a <div>?
And if it's only a one-year window of time for any time period, is that January to January or July to July? And if it takes multiple searches, year by year, here's a biggie: what's the effect on bandwidth usage?
I can find whatever I'm looking for, sometimes as far back as 2000-01, but then again I just do my query in the Google toolbar, which gives me the results in a second or two.
Of course, not everyone wants to run the Google toolbar; but for those who have a problem with searching WebmasterWorld and find it inconvenient to have to go to the search engines to look, would a WebmasterWorld toolbar with a built-in Google search (with some handy hot-buttons) be a more acceptable alternative?
> Search
Show me one that will work and we will use it. We have tried every major and most minor packages available on the net. The only one that is even remotely promising (on 5m+ pages) is ASPseek and tests have been going on for awhile. There simply are no software site search engines available that can handle 5m-10m (plan for future) pages.
10 million pages is a significant amount of data to index. The current forum looks to be more around the 1 million mark (looking at only pages that would be interesting to index - eg. the number of threads as opposed to the number of posts). While it is understandable that you may want "future proofing"; be aware that once a certain range is exceeded, it will cease to be cost effective, and unless you are prepared for the cost of investing in additional hardware and/or implementation of a distributed search system, it becomes a less feasible requirement. That is the reason why you cannot find any off-the-shelf product that offers this, rather than anything else.
Technical limitations exist that makes searching 500,000 pages a very different problem to searching millions of pages. For example, available physical RAM, disk space, 32-bit addressing and 2GB virtual address space limit (on 32-bit operating systems) all become issues around the million page mark.
ASPSeek only claims to index "several million pages". There is a reason this is so vague and a "5m+" number is not stated as fact - because this number can vary significantly depending on the content being indexed. You may find that it only allows you to index 1 million pages when it is indexing your particular site, or a lot less. It's hard to tell. The number of words that appear on "a page" varies from site to site, and the nature of such words (whether they are using words of a limited vocabulary, or if they are vastly unique such as in a serial number database), will also greatly affect the resources required.
I work on a software search engine package (which I will omit details here to avoid advertising). In fact, I sent you a private message, but didn't get a response. I was invited here by one of our users who is a member of these forums ... although I've lurked here before, but only thought it relevant to post now. I'd be happy to discuss this in further details if you like.

I was referring to 1 year at a time, not to restricting within a specific year. Besides, just because a system existed for searching the forum, doesn't mean that you personally (or anyone else) would be required to use that system for your own searches... of course you would still have the major SE's to fall back on.
Also, I need to mention this... this thread is on 3450467.htm... is that indicative of it being the 3,450,467 thread started? If so you should realize how much content you currently have that is simply not searchable. Google is declaring a total of 477,000 indexed pages for this site, and only about 169,000 of those are in the non-supp index. The ones that are in supplemental won't be searchable by exact unique quotes. Yahoo is worse at 221,887 pages, and MSN is barely worth mentioning at 46,024 pages.
Marcia, on Jan 1 2001, in one of the threads I see the 677,362th post was made. Yet according to Google, only 2,450 pages are indexed for the year 2000. Is it really meaningful to be able to search such a small portion of the pages from so long ago? And yes, I know the total pages returned by the site: search is just an estimate.

Federal statistics report that one in every three adolescent girls in the United States is a victim of physical, emotional or verbal abuse from a dating partner.
The Preventing Teen Violence Report issued recommendations for preventing teen dating violence, better coordination of prevention efforts and more youth leadership on anti-violence work. The state health department and the Minnesota Coalition for Battered Women released a statewide plan Thursday to prevent teen dating violence.
Sasha Cotton of the Coalition for Battered Women says over 18 months, study authors interviewed hundreds of young Minnesotans about what they've witnessed and experienced.
Among 12th grade girls, one in seven said they had been hit, hurt, threatened or made to feel afraid by their partner, the Minnesota Student Survey found.
"In the last 18 months, 10 people under the age of 21 have died in Minnesota as a result of dating violence," Cotton said. "The clothesline project that is over in this corner recognizes the lives that have been lost due to dating violence by people under the age of 21 in Minnesota."
Minnesota was one of six states that received funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to fund the 18-month study.
Atlanta Shilts 14, is a student at Red Wing High School who is working to educate other teens about violence prevention.
"Some parents won't even believe their kids when they say they're in a bad situation, they're just... they won't believe them," Shilts said. "But what I gotta say is if someone comes to you like this, believe them. Because you might be the only person that they trust. And then if you don't believe them, they don't know who to run to."

Wal-Mart's Light Revenue Sinks Stock
Wal-Mart (WMT) beat second quarter earnings expectations, but its revenue was lower than expected and shares are trading down about 2.9% this morning.
Wal-Mart posted $1.19 of EPS, a penny ahead of expectations. Revenue of $113.5 billion was below expectations for $114.6 billion.
Update: On the company's conference call CEO Mike Duke said that currency weighed on revenue: "Currency negatively impacted net sales by approximately $2.2 billion, and without that impact, net sales would have been $115.7 billion."
Same-store sales in the U.S. rose 2.2% after excluding gas, a tenth of a percentage point ahead of the Street. It marks the company's fourth straight quarterly same-store sales gain (on a year-over-year basis) after nine straight quarters of declines. Those gains have helped propel the stock in recent months to new 10-year highs. Even with today's drop, the stock is up 21% for the year. The company has worked to regain its reputation for "Every Day Low Prices" after trying a more promotional strategy.
"The paycheck cycle remains pronounced in the United States and in our international markets," said Duke in a statement. "Given continuing economic pressures, we believe that our price leadership and value are growing in importance to customers across income levels."
Operating margin slipped to 5.6% from 5.8%. Wal-Mart's margins are lower overseas, so the more the company depends on international expansion, the worse its margins may look -- unless and until the company can find a way to expand international margins to the level of its U.S. stores.
Wal-Mart is also delaying its Mexico expansion plans as it deals with a bribery investigation there.
The company raised its full year EPS guidance to $4.83-$4.93 from $4.72-$4.92.
Sales could begin to swing higher, however, during back to school shopping season, wrote one analyst.
"However, we are encouraged that July was the strongest comp month of the quarter at Walmart U.S., which we believe bodes well for the Back-to-School season," wrote Citi analyst Deborah Weinswig.

Hi everyone! So I have been wanting to get a tummy tuck since 2010. I have been researching doctors and prices for over two years. I have been part of realself since 2010 and found that a lot of people love Yily and of course the price even made it better. I'm 30 years old have two boys ages 15 and 11. I am so done having kids and ready to live life. I want my bikini body back. I have never planned to do anything with my ass until this year and I said screw it, why not get a bigger ass? LOL Anyway I am excited to get this procedure done and feel comfortable in my skin again. I don't have a perfect body but I am happy with my weight and how I look in certain things. I want to be able to look good in everything I try on.

7 Days Left
I have 7 days before my surgery. I am packed and ready to go. Gona be with 2 more Yily Dolls. Very excited and just ready to go. Not going to list my supplies cause their are so many other posts that list whats needed and what they packed. I wil make sure to update my pics of my after. Later
Drain stuck
I Came home from DR exactly 3 weeks ago with my drain in. I had a doctor here in Dallas remove it last Monday. My drain was stuck and the doc had to reopen my tummy tuck incision. When it finally came out it had a damn knot in it. SMH That shit was so crazy the doctor had to take a picture. That has postpone my healing process. I can't start using my silicone strips until my incision is healed
Round 2 with Baez
I am going back to the DR for another procedure. This time it will be with Australia Baez. I am getting a breast augmentation and lip to the back liposculpture of the stomach and lipo of the flanks. I figured I would have to have surgery twice to get the results im looking for. With lipo only so much fat can be taken out at once. Her earliest appointmeent is June 1st so that when I will be going. I hope someone cancels and I can go sooner but I will have to wait and see.
Need a travel buddy for April 22
Baez assistant contacted me with a sooner date. Very excited. Really didnt want to wait until June. Texas is hot and those damn garments are uncomfortable. Need a travel buddy. So if you interested inbox me.
8 Days left before I leave for the DR
So I leave for the DR in 8 days. I'm almost packed and ready to go. Dr. Baez emailed me yesterday to make sure I was still coming. I called my doctor today and my hemoglobin is 14.1. I was so happy to hear that today. With that being said Baez should have no problem doing all my procedures. I have already prepared myself to tell Baez wht I want done first if for some reason she can't perform all the procedures I wanted done. I know she cares about the well being of her patients and won't do more than your body can handle. I will post pictures of me before the procedure in the next couple of days.

The first "gun" that I ever owned was a Red Ryder BB gun as a Christmas present when I was about 8, the first thing my dad said was "Read the owners manual, then we'll go outside and I'll teach you to shoot it". A few years later, I'd saved enough quarters and birthday checks to buy myself an 870 youth model 20 gauge. Again, my father told me "Read the owners manual, then I'll teach you to shoot it". A year later, when he got me a 10/22 for Christmas, same thing, and so on. Now.... I like to think every now and then that with each additional firearm (in the mid 20's last time I counted them all) I still do that each and every time, because, as much as I do know, there is a lot that I don't. Granted.... I shoot for work, I've shot to save my life, and I've shot to save others lives, but I still each and every time read it. I remember reading the owners manual when I bought my wife an M&P 9mm, and making her read it. Six months later I was trying to break it down to clean it and could not get the slide off for the life of me.... and of course I looked back and read the book and it all came back.
Now I know that the shooting sports are hurting these days (Also, let it be known I shot competitively all through middle school and high school, not for a school team as that was politically in-correct, but for a sportsmans clubs league.) and the only thing we have to keep our sport going is welcoming new members with open arms. The problem lies in the fact that people seem to rely on others to help them figure it all out these days. If your weapon doesn't work and its brand new, there is a good chance that you forgot to do something, or didn't read what you need to do, or are relying on what you think you know instead of what the manufacturer DOES know.
So.... any chance of getting people to read their damn owners manuals?
Also... is there a mathematical formula to show the correlation between lack of spelling and grammar skills and not knowing how to treat a firearm?
I don't know much about grammar really. My spelling is horrid. But I can build a pretty dang good 1911. I aint had a bad guy give me a spelling test yet.
Seriously...even before I buy a new one (or used), I'll get on line and search for an electronic copy of the manual.
Some people can read a manual and not understand. You have to show them and explain verbally. That is just how their brains are wired.
I do raed the owerns mnauel all the times, but these mnuales raelly dont have much in them. I have laerned how to disasembe my mossberg 500 from a you-tube video..Much faster and striahgt to the piont.

About "Carpetbaggers" in "Double Fearture Horror #2", Horror Haven Reviews says:
This story is the best of this installment of Horror Double Feature and is a great embodiment of horror in comics. From its creepy atmospheric art to its choice of creatures, it feels like a story straight out of Creepy or Eerie comics. The creatures in this story are the standouts, as they're not your run of the mill monsters like vampires or werewolves. Instead the creatures are a play on rarely used Japanese monster. The art is the second standout with Latino's black & white art, which gives an almost water color look. (click here for the full review…)
About iPad paintings, Comics Alliance says:
Latino shares his touch-art triumphs on his blog at KTino.com. His Wasp there is sting-you-in-the-head incredible and should have its own trading card somewhere. Like, seriously, Marvel should send him a check and buy the image. (click here for the full article…)

Indoor allergens list
A number of different substances, ranging from contaminants to pets, can provoke allergic reactions in susceptible people. The following is a list of some of the most common indoor allergens:
- House dust
- Mold spores
- Pollen
- Fabrics
- Dust mites
- Cockroaches
- Cat dander
- Dog dander
- Pet rodents
- Horsehair
- Houseplants
What actually is house dust?
House dust is a mixture of diverse substances that can cause allergies. House dust is composed of a number of natural substances, including dried food particles, mold spores, pollen, fabric fibers, animal dander, and insect parts, especially those of dust mites and cockroaches. However, particles and debris from dust mites are the major source of allergens in dust. As is the case with other allergens, these particles contain proteins that are small enough to become airborne and inhaled.
What are dust mites?
Dust mites, which were discovered in 1964, are microscopic arachnids (resembling tiny spiders). They are about 1/3 mm in length and are not visible to the naked eye. They have eight legs, are blind, and naturally live indoors. Their presence does not indicate that the house is dirty. This is because usual cleaning procedures, such as vacuuming and dusting, do not eliminate them.
Dust mites have "sticky" pads at the ends of their legs that help them to firmly attach to fibers, which allow them to live deep within carpeting, upholstery, and mattresses. Most of the mites found in houses are from the Dermatophagoides family, with pteronyssinus and farinae being the most common species. (Dermatophagoides comes from Latin and means skin-eating. Pteronyssinus comes from Latin and means feather-loving. Farinae is Latin for flour.) Fortunately, dust mites do not bite, spread disease, or actually live on humans.
What conditions are most favorable to dust mites?
Dust mites thrive in warm, humid places. The ideal temperature for dust mites ranges from 65 F-80 F, a common range for indoor room temperatures. Since dust mites have no means of drinking, they are totally dependent on the humidity surrounding them for water. They live best at a relative humidity above 55%. However, it is important to be aware that monitoring the humidity really isn&'t sufficient to control dust mites. As the humidity falls, dust mites will retreat from the surface. However, even in very dry conditions, it can take quite a few months to eliminate the dust-mite population.
Dust mites derive their food supply from human secretions and the skin cells we shed. (The average human sheds up to 1.5 grams of skin particles per day. A gram is about the weight of a paper clip.) The mites thrive in articles such as feather pillows, upholstered furniture, and stuffed animals that collect sloughed skin cells and secretions. The most favorable conditions for dust mite growth are found in the bedroom. Their favorite breeding grounds are mattresses, pillows, and box springs, as well as blankets, curtains, carpeting, and other fabric items in the room.
The perfect climatic conditions for dust mites occur in North America in the mid- and southern Atlantic coast, Gulf Coast, central Midwest, Pacific Northwest, and British Columbia. Dust mites are rarely found in dry climates where the elevation is over 5,000 feet above sea level.

Art world awaits European trove of Chinese ceramics
By James Pomfret
HONG KONG (Reuters) - For over 50 years, one of the last great European collections of Chinese imperial ceramics has lain cloistered with an intensely private family in Switzerland, closed to the eyes of all but a handful of insiders.
Known largely from catalogues by noted sinologist Regina Krahl, the pieces in the Meiyintang collection, carefully acquired over half a century by Swiss pharmaceutical tycoons, the Zuellig brothers, are considered one of the best and last intact major private Western collections of Chinese ceramics.
In April, a small consignment of 80 lots from the Meiyintang (Hall Among the Rose Beds) wares will be put on the auction block for the first time by Sotheby's in what market experts say could be a landmark sale fetching over HK$1 billion ($128 million).
"I don't think we've had a collection of imperial porcelain as important as this one in the last 30 years," Nicolas Chow, deputy Chairman of Sotheby's Asia and the global head of Chinese ceramics, told Reuters in his Hong Kong office.
With the high-end Chinese ceramics art market now on fire given a steadily diminishing supply of great pieces, smashing record after record and even riding the financial crisis relatively unscathed, very strong demand is expected.
"It's the last grand European collection of porcelain to come on the market. After this collection with its particular scope and taste ... there is nothing left of this caliber," said Chow, running his fingers over a Meiyintang centerpiece: a pear-shaped, eight-inch tall Qing vase from the Qianlong reign (1736-95) with a brilliantly painted golden pheasant that could fetch $23 million in the April 7 sale.
Among the other Meiyintang pieces being offered is a rare palace bowl from the Chenghua Ming period (1465-1487), unblemished, with a blue and white pattern of fruiting melons and vines that could fetch up to HK$120 million ($15.4 million).
"With Chenghua, the pleasure is as much sensual as it is visual," said Chow of the bowl's glaze, which was silkily smooth to the touch, its luster undiminished after five centuries. Continued...

Shooting the PPQ alongside the Glock 19
I shot my PPQ 9mm along side my Glock 19 Gen4 tonight, in very low lighting. I could see the target at 21 feet, but couldn't really see the shot locations while shooting. plus the blasts were blinding my vision anyway, so things were not all that clear. I had taken a business folder (like the kind you would stuff a proposal in), and opened it up and stapled it to the target, so I had two halves in front of me, and i aimed the PPQ at the middle of the left half, and the G19 at the middle of the right half.
Due to this, I had to just concentrate on how the gun's "felt" while shooting, as well as rely on muscle memory for my follow up shots. I shot some target FMJ ammo as well as some +P carry JHP ammo though both guns, one right after the other for comparison.
Initial impressions...
I'm going to do this again, and very soon. it was a BLAST
(recoil) At first I thought the Walther kicked a bit harder than the Glock, but after about 20 rounds through both, i couldn't really tell the difference anymore. I think what it really is, is just the rather drastic difference in HOW the two guns recoil. The Walther recoils much like an HK USP. To someone used to shooting a Glock with their very low profile recoil impluse, this will seem suprisingly different. I definatly felt the PPQ simmer down as I held on tighter to it. I think the rougher texture of the Gen4 Glock really helps in handling that gun.
After i got to the +P SD ammo, i decided that both guns were equally manageable, as with the more powerfull stuff, the PPQ seemed almost equal to the Glock with regards to the "kick".
(ejection) To me, you tell the quality of a gun by how well and consistantly it ejects the brass (HK is my gold standard)... this is where the Gen4 Glocks have really let me down. I have 4 of them now, and all three of the 9mm ones have been back to Glock for new parts and have very weak ejection. I could reach out my right hand and grab each one if i wanted to and some will hit my shoulder (althought this is better than hitting my head, like they did before i sent them back in).
The Wather was astonishing. It ejected about 15 feet to the back right of me extremely consistanly. just threw the brass with authority. Maybe too far, was such a difference from my Glock that it looked like the slide must have been moving twice as fast on the PPQ than the G19, even thought hat is obviously not the case.
(accuracy) Glocks are very accurate, I am tired of people who say that they are not. I can hit pretty much whatever i want to within 15 yards or so with any of my Glocks... when I can see clearly and i can concentrate on the sight picture. My first range session with the Walther proved pretty much the same thing, even though for some reason it just "felt" more accurate to me, sort of like shooting a quality 1911. Accuracy just comes easier with the better trigger for us mortals.
This is where I really got blown away. When i went to pull my make shift target off the wall at the end of my shooting fun, I got to see my targets clearly for the first time. And the group on the left was easily one fourth the size of the group on the right... and the difference was even greater than that. The PPQ's group looked almost like a square, no fliers, just a nice group. the Glock (which i had felt i probably had shot a bit better) produced a group much larger that was sparaticly all over the place with no form and many fliers...
Granted, i wasn't TRYING to shoot bullseye with this thing, the Glock's wild group was really what i expected out of both guns, as i was just sort of leasierly aiming towards the middle of blank page with no real aiming points and in low light. The PPQ's actual performance was unexpected and really impressed me.
Despite everything else, the PPQ was easier for me to shoot accurately, even if I wasn't concentrating on it. That has to mean some excellent ergonomics and an excellent trigger.
Now if i can just get Walther to replace/fix my messed up First Edition (see the sight/sloppy thread), all will be right with the world...

Excellent post! Just purchased my PPQ on Saturday and intended to get out to the range yesterday, but we got dumped on (snow). I think the PPQ is a dream come true. It has the quality and ambi. features of my P30 with, from all indications, a much better trigger. That incredibly short reset blows my mind!

I agree on the recoil of the two different guns & have said as much months ago. They are totally different guns.
I will however digress on the point about Glock Gen4 ejections problems. IMO the problems are related to shooters using crappy Walmart ammo or bad grip techniques. If the Walther is throwing the brass farther then it means that it is not sprung as tight as the Glock and not that it is better "quality." The Gen4 9mm's have a dual recoil spring which IMO really dampens the +p+. However, quality cannot overcome physics. Glock has bowed to the range shooters who insist on using the crappiest of ammo as they are the ones having the problems. All of the seasoned Glock shooters I know using the Gen4 have no trouble as they use good reloads or quality 124 gr. 9mm. I still use the 0-3 spring in my Gen4 G19 and it works great but as you say it "dribbles" out low powered range crap but ejects all +p & +p+ with authority. The Gen4 is truly a great CCW with hot ammo which Glocks love but is a poor candidate for Wally World ammo trawlers who post on Youtube as they drink Bud & shoot.

I am SO glad I read this thread! First of all, I'm new here. This is my first post, so..Hi everyone. I am looking at the PPQ because I just recently bought my first Glock and I have been dealing with all the same issues you mentioned (started out with a Gen3 G19, sent it in twice, finally had them exchange it for a Gen4...etc.). Anyhow, even with all the new updated parts, the ejection is still weak and sloppy. I have decided to cut my losses and sell/trade it for something different. I was thinking about an M&P until I saw the PPQ and fell in love. I REALLY want one now. I'm sure I'll be hanging around here and asking plenty of questions. Again..very glad I read this post. Makes me feel like I'm not nuts! Well...sorta.

Great post 99999.
Always shot Sigs, but eager to put my new PPQ through the paces.
I'm guessing your SD ammo was 124gr. Curious if you used different weights of ammo, and if you noticed any difference?

I had sort of an assortment of the SD ammo, and it was pretty dark, so i wasnt sure which i was shooting at the time. just knew it was SD verses the cheap stuff.
Today, I am going to do this again, but indoors, with the lights on. I expect my performance to be pretty equal between the two of them today, and I will be purchasing some nice ammo onsite for the demo, so i will be able to compare better/differently than last night.

I went shooting with a buddy of mine this past weekend, he brought out his Gen4 Glock 19, me with the new PPQ, and we ran through about 200 rounds each of some crappy cheap russian practice ammo. The Walther ran like a champ, but the Glock was having uneven ejection, and a few FTEs.
Maybe the issue is the ammo, but it shouldn't be. Glock has a reputation to eat anything you throw at it, and its a bit of a disappointment to my friend who is now looking for ways to fix the ejection issues.

I agree on the Glock Gen4's having issues as I got hit in the face with a ton of brass while checking out the Glock 19 at my local range which made the decision to go with the PPQ a very easy one.

Great review 99999and glad to hear you are loving you new PPQ! So far after one range trip mine has impressed me immensley. Also look forward to your next range report when you can see a bit better.
I have a Gen2 Glock 19 that I bought new and it has always been accurate enough for me but I just shoot my SIGs and PPQ better.
I have to say there does seem to be someting to the problems that many seem to be reporting about the later Gen3 and Gen 4 Glock 19s. I have seen and heard enough from what I believe to be credible sources to just write it off. Hopefully the latest version of the Gen4 Glock 19 with all the fixes has finally resolved them.
I am not sure I buy the whole that using crappy/weak ammo is the cause of problems - especially past a couple hundred rounds. I know I have NEVER EVER had a problem with any ammo I have shot in any of my SIGs.
The reality is one could find themselves in a situation someday where they do not have much choice of what ammo they could use. I would rather have a pistol that is known to be able to shoot just about anything.

But of the chough in captivity or as a domesticated bird we know little now, as no records have been preserved.
Angelo, the would-be Puritan ruler, was a "false seemer," Malvolio was a "chough."
We had, indeed, heard its name in an old song or glee, called the "chough and Crow;" or that begins with those words.
We were told that to this day no Cornishman likes to shoot a chough or a raven.
I experimented on a Cornish chough — an old specimen, infested with maggots or larvae of the "clothes" moth.
"Come and see," croaked the chough, hopping towards the door.
But for that dead rascal at our feet I could beyond a doubt have plucked him like a chough, and here I was, still penniless.
"Now the chough is protected by Act of Parliament," said Guy.
The head of the chough, like the rest of its body, is perfectly black.
The chough appears to be a sedentary species in all parts of its distribution.

As part of his doctoral work in the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University Bob has developed a research program focused on creativity and learning in technology entrepreneurship.
In his first study, The Socio-Cognitive Dynamics of Entrepreneurial Ideation, he examined how entrepreneurs obtain the creative ideas they need to develop innovative new products. He interviewed 32 technology entrepreneurs to generate a grounded theory about how technology entrepreneurs use social behaviors, techniques, and cognitive processes to generate, validate, and refine ideas for new products, processes, or services. The results revealed a complex, cyclical, and recursive multilevel social process emphasizing active and social experimentation. Greatest ideational productivity occurs when "trusted partners" exchange and refine ideas through shared cognition.
In a second study, Entrepreneurial Innovation as a Learning System he surveyed 172 technology entrepreneurs to explore links between learning style and learning flexibility and decision making behaviors hypothesized to produce entrepreneurial innovation and success. The findings reveal a system of entrepreneurial learning and innovation with subtle and surprising interactions between learning processes and behavioral mediators.
The above two studies along with a third study of trusted partner relationships that examines how learning flexibility and learning style differences effect these relationships are included in his Ph. D. Dissertation Socio-Cognitive Foundations of Entrepreneurial Venturing.

Repost: Aussie Members I need advice
Just a repost, i think i may have put in wrong section so here goes
Hi All,
Quick Introduction, my name is John from WA.
Been lurking on these forums trying to ascertain as much info on the jeep to decide which 4wd to upgrade too...
i thought life would be easier after deciding to settle on the Grand Cherokee...now i am at odds with myself now as to whether i made the right decision - no its not about purchasing the jeep but as to whether i go overland or not.
I have already signed the papers for a Laredo Diesel with Quad lift, towbar, sunroof, aftermark leather upgrade, front parking sensors....
now for an extra 12k i could get myself an overland, i really want/like that heating and cooling seats, the proper parking sensors, the nappa leather and getting the nappa leather.
I figured i get a few more things, but do you guys really think its worthwhile?
I will be leasing this, but if i go overland i will be leasing it for 5 years contrary to 3 years if i go the laredo.
price different is about 40-50 extra a fortnight.
please help me i am losing sleep over this
Re: Repost: Aussie Members I need advice
Re: Repost: Aussie Members I need advice
Myself, I would go the Overland. In addition to what you have said, you also get Active Cruise control, Quadra Drive (if you go off road), 20" wheels, Full Panoramic sunroof (not sure what you are getting as I don't think it was an option on Larado), Driver memory sytem (seats, mirrors and audio), Heated steering wheel (Mrs loves that with the heated seats), Blind spot monitoring (great feature as the JGC does have some big blind spots), Foward collision warning (it works well), Tyre pressure monitoring system, GPS (currently is crap but hopefully update soon will fix that), Premuim stereo system, Power Lift gate (great feature) and a stitched leather dash (looks Schmick).
I have always been taught that generally, in regard to resale value, you are always better to buy a premium model rather than a lower spec model with lots of extras (althouigh I have never tried to calculate whether this is true or not).
At the end of the day, if you get the Overland, you will love it. It really is what I call a luxury SUV / 4WD, but only if the extra 40-50 a fortnight causes no pain.
Re: Repost: Aussie Members I need advice
Swampy has listed all the extras and YES it is worth it.
The vented seats and the ACC alone is worth the extra, but it all depends on what you see the value in.
If you are driving long distances the ACC will make it more relaxing, and the vented seats will stop swamp butt. The only think I do not value is the Pano roof, but the kids like looking at the sky when we are driving.
Re: Repost: Aussie Members I need advice
I was on the hunt initially for a Limited Diesel with a few add ons. The price came within 5k of the Overland price so it was a no brainer. Not knocking other models (Base Laredo is exceptional value) but really glad I stretched the budget to the Overland. As the guys mention, the additional extras are extremely useful (However did I manage without ACC?.. and the forward collision warning system saved a really nasty accident last weekend). Similar spec'd up prestige marques are upwards of $115k. I looked at the Tourag and the run out ML's when buying the GC but $75k would only get me in a base model if I was lucky. Go the diesel if you can. It's superb.:thumbsup:
Re: Repost: Aussie Members I need advice
I've been driving to work this past week in temps between 5-10 degrees, the seat and steering wheel warmers come into their own! Who'da thought we'd value steering wheel warmers in Brisbane!
We pay circa $75k for an Overland , the yanks pay $50k. Once you get over the disparity issues, all the bells and whistles in the Overland make it worthwhile when comparing with similar class makes or even the X5 or Prado Grande though you will read in this forum CJD Australia "after sales service" is virtually non existent or pathetic at best.
I have not yet come across post / thread of any Overland owner who has complained about the little luxuries this car offers.:)
I think you have answered your own question.......$40-$50 / fortnight is the equivalent of a family takeaway night.
Re: Repost: Aussie Members I need advice
Sounds to me like you got a very poor price on the Laredo or an amazing price (under $70k) on the Overland.
I went the laredo path. Could afford the overland, but didn't see the value in the extra's - but everyone is different. I like the idea of the cool seats and ACC, but don't see $15-$20k of value in them.
I'm getting the Q-lift, Q-drive, leather, tow-bar, skid plates, full window tinting, recovery hook, 18" tyres for off-road. On the Overland, I would still have to pay extra for all of those except the Q-lift and Q-drive.
Whatever the decision, it should be a great car and if you can afford it and see the value in it, do what you like.
Re: Repost: Aussie Members I need advice
Resale alone makes the overland the right choice. Gear you add to the car makes little difference when you sell it!
Re: Repost: Aussie Members I need advice
I also think people are not reading his post fully - it isn't just $40-50 a fortnight more, it is that for three years and then the full lease payments more for two more years - this is a financial commitment not to be taken too lightly.
Re: Repost: Aussie Members I need advice
Jeepleap is right
the larado is 61500
- leather
- sunroof (not pana)
- Quad Lift
- Towbar
- Front parking sensor
and the overland is 74k including towbar
3 year vs 5 years
ive never owned a car more then 18months and have never owend a brand new car either...
Thanks heaps for the quick response -
Re: Repost: Aussie Members I need advice
how much do you think a 5 year old overland with 70-75000 is worth
and a 3 year old laredo with 45000kms is worth?
i know its fairly subjective, but would like to see what you guys think and if you have a crystal ball...
Re: Repost: Aussie Members I need advice
You have to make your on judgement call on the finances, because even though it might be $40-$50/fortnight more, it is for 2 years longer as well.
It also depends what you want to use it for. If you are seriously looking at offroading, then I suggest that quadralift is actually not such a great idea. The potential to damage an air spring, compressor, etc and leave you low to the ground is quite high. Jeep's implementation is nowhere near as good as the Landrover setup, and raised settings it can be uncomfortable. The steel suspension is my choice because there is now aftermarket support through Dobinsons and Murchisons, and there will be more over time.
BUT ... if you're not offroading, then the Overland is a really cool car with an awesome set of features that you will struggle to find in any other brand for less than six figure prices.

Tamás Varga is Principal Cellist of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra (VPO) as well as the Vienna State Opera. He is regular soloist with the VPO, and at the same time Mr. Varga is also an enthusiastic chamber musician. As a member of the Ensemble Wiener Collage, the Breughel Ensemble and the Wiener Kammerensemble he is present in Japan, the USA and many European venues.
An avid teacher, Mr. Varga has given master classes all over the world. He served as a tutor for the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra, for the New World Symphony as well as for the YouTube Symphony Orchestra and was teaching at the International Orchestra Institute in Attergau, Austria for several years.
Arnold Schoenberg's 1933 Concerto in D minor for Cello and Orchestra, composed ten years after his first serial work, draws on Georg Matthias Monn's 1746 Concerto for Harpsichord. Few could identify Schoenberg as composer of this tonal work, with sophisticated orchestration and twinkling pitched percussion the only clues.
Calling the solo "a suicide mission," Tilson Thomas recruited Tamás Varga, principal cellist of both the Vienna Philharmonic and Staatsoper. In the insanely difficult Allegro moderato, Varga flew through the thick chords, huge register leaps, and ridiculous highs. Although initially overpowering, the orchestra extended Varga's gestures with delicate, kaleidoscopic accompaniment.
The aria-like melody and continuo bass-line of the Andante alla marcia showcased Varga's sweeter side. Muscular double stops announced the dancing Tempo di minuetto, with Varga's subtle ornamentation adding an effortless quality to stratospheric passagework. Notable was Varga's accompaniment to concertmaster Vivek Jayaraman's brief, poignant solo, before the fast, furious close."

To Sing or Not to Sing
Have you seen Shakespeare's Hamlet and thought to yourself, This tragedy about a guy avenging his dead father needs more people singing? If so, you're in luck. Composer Carson Kievman this Friday will present a highly original and totally rad operatic version of Hamlet, enjoying its world premiere at Little Stage Theater at SoBe Institute of the Arts (2100 Washington Ave., Miami Beach). Kievman's Hamlet retains all the elements that make Shakespeare's ingenious tragedy the emotional barnburner it is, while delivering it in a contemporary way for modern audiences and opera lovers alike. The show promises to stay faithful to the story yet give it a pulse and a kick with the help of a talented cast as well as the musical direction of acclaimed New York opera conductor John Yaffé. Tickets are $100, which includes a VIP champagne celebration sponsored by Laurent-Perrier and Sylvano Restaurant.
Fridays, Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Sundays, 7:30 p.m. Starts: Feb. 24. Continues through March 11, 2012

Steven Gerrard has challenged his Liverpool teammate Daniel Sturridge to stay fit and in form to claim a place in the England attack ahead of next month's crunch World Cup qualifiers.
Speaking after Tuesday's 0-0 draw in Ukraine, which moved England one point clear at the top of their qualifying group, Gerrard told reporters. "The stage is set for Daniel if he can get himself fit," Gerrard added. "He is in terrific form."
Gerrard said the return of Sturridge and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney will bolster England's attack ahead of their final two Group H games against Montenegro and Poland.
"I think we lacked a little bit of a cutting edge in the final third, against Ukraine, but that isn't a worry because there are some big players missing for England at the moment," the England captain said.
"If we can get Rooney and Sturridge fit they will be two big players for us, and they are the type of players you will need to break down the two teams we are coming up against.
"Our record is quite good at Wembley. We proved that by beating Brazil there so if we defend as we did against Ukraine and have a little bit more of that cutting edge in the final third, we will get there. I am really confident we can get the job done."
Sturridge, who has scored in three consecutive league games for table-topping Liverpool at the start of this season was the expected replacement for Rooney when he was ruled out ahead of the Moldova and Ukraine matches, but the 24-year-old had to pull out himself because of a thigh problem.

Binary options trading can bring substantial income in the shortest time possible. Traders buy options at a predetermined price. Online trading can be profitable if the trader correctly identifies the market movement.
Advantages of Binary Options
Trading is a high-risk area where you can either double or even triple your capital or lose it in a few minutes. Binary options have several advantages that make it possible to get more profit with predictable risk. An option with a fixed profit differs from conventional trading.
Beginners can trade binary options with IQ Option just as well as experienced traders. The entire process is fully automated. Binary options traders are aware of their profits in advance — their main objective is to select the correct direction of the market movement. They need to choose from two directions only — up or down.
Two Types of Online Trading
The IQ Option platform allows you to trade binary options in two basic modes. Practice account is for training. To open a practice account and to test your strength, you don't even need to make a deposit. For real trading, you need to deposit $10 only. This ensures a bonus of up to 36%. When opening an account for a larger amount (from $3,000), a personal account manager will be at your service.

Buddy Bumpus Janes
Buddy was rescued by Marie Janes from the Humane Society of Ottawa County on July 17, 2002. Buddy was a mixed Doberman, and although his actual birth date is not known, he was around 5 years old at the time of his death.
Buddy was brought back to good health, if only for a short period of his life, and he enjoyed his home, his dog bed, and stuffed toys. He was especially fond of pig ears and soft, chewy treats. He got along great with other dogs and cats. He was especially kind around children.
Buddy was diagnosed with fibrosarcoma on February 1, 2006, and from that time on he battled his cancer bravely, even when his motor control could no longer work his back legs. I held him in my arms when the vet put him down, and we buried him in the backyard next to the weeping cherry tree I got for mother's day long ago.
We will miss his howling to let us know Larry is home from work, his doggie smile when he was happy and rolling on his back, his warm ears, and his nose nudges to get us to pet him.
The vet commended me on helping Buddy and loving him, but I think it was Buddy who really helped and loved all of us.
Ok, so today I was pretty much just laying around and I thought of peeing on something but, I just figured I would wait till.....IIIIIEEEEE gota goo PEEEEEE!
So, Zip tells me that there is some type of conspiracy with the poo in the yard and with some type of treats…UUUMM, dar what's the deal? It really doesn't affect me; Cause no one touches my poo anyway. I really think duuuhh main problem is……Oh shoot…I gotta pee!

Mother's Day is coming up soon, and what better way to show your mom you care than with an organic flower bouquet? She will love that you thought of her with such a beautiful gift but she will especially appreciate that you honored our Mother Earth by purchasing organically grown flowers. After all, she taught you to treat others with respect, and that's exactly what organic farming does, it treats the people who grow the flowers and the land they grow it on with respect.
I realize I am sounding like an advertisement, but I love my mom, and I know she would appreciate any gift I gave her, but she would appreciate it if it were organic that much more. I've gone through some of the organic flowers and picked a few of my favorites.
National Wildlife Federation Daisies
Gerbera daisies, my personal favorite flower. They donate 5% of each purchase to the National Wildlife Federation.
Keep America Beautiful Blue Iris
They donate 5% of each purchase to Keep America Beautiful.
Two Dozen Cherry Love Roses
I'm not usually a rose fan, but these are beautiful.
Provence Bouquet
A beautiful, unique bouquet.
I hope, even you don't buy your mom flowers, that you show her how much you appreciate her not just on Mother's Day, but all year round.

Try a pencil eraser as a trigger stop.
Anyone had any experience reducing the trigger pull length on the PF-9, or a fluff and buff for it? As is, really hard for me to shoot with that long trigger pull.
Try a pencil eraser as a trigger stop.
Snap caps and dry firing a lot helped mine. Pull slide back about 1/4-1/2" to recock.
Ditto both Mellow Yellow and FOrest ranger. Both actions work well with my P-11. minus the recocking part though
+1 on the snap caps.


text: Playing the shakuhachi, an end-blown bamboo flute, is one of the recognized paths of Zen meditation called suizen. Zen means meditation and suizen means blowing meditation. The shakuhachi is the only melodic instrument used in Zen Buddhism. With only five holes, the shakuhachi can play up to 83 different notes and create an array of sounds unrivaled by any other acoustic instrument. Ronnie Nyogetsu Reishin Seldin has been teaching shakuhachi in the United States since 1975 in the traditional Japanese manner. His students mostly desire to learn to play the Zen meditation pieces, these being loved for their timeless, universal qualities. Nyogetsu has the largest number of students outside of Japan. Over twenty have received instructor and master titles from him, and two have received grand master titles. Nyogetsu holds two grand master titles in shakuhachi. The first was given by his teacher, Kurahashi Yodo Sensei. Kurahashi Yodo, a disciple of Jin Nyodo, was one of the greatest teachers and archivists of Zen meditation pieces. Nyogetsu's second grand master title was given by Aoki Reibo, one of Japan's Living National Treasures in Shakuhachi. Shakuhachi lessons can be done in person at seven locations throughout the East Coast as well as via the internet, by which Nyogetsu teaches students in 26 states and six foreign countries.

And how is a little mud killing fish off not like the shit is contaminated. If you accounted for all of the land that feeds rain runoff into the streams and rivers what percentage of that are the trails. Very little I would guess.
The people in those surrounding communities would be really hurt without the Monster Trucks tearing 7' holes in all of the trails.
In all of the years that I have been there I have only ever seen a few deep muddy holes. They usually attack the wash out areas very well with gravel and logs etc.
What a bunch of bs, at least it didn't happen the same year as Paragon.

You don't have to fit a BMW battery, an equivalent is fine, but on the 1M you are advised to register the battery so that it charges correctly, this process requires a suitable tool that a BMW specialist or dealer has. I have the Bavarian Technics tool that can also do this, amongst many other things, but it cost $287. If the new battery is not exactly the same as the original in terms of capacity and cranking amps, then coding is also required.
To put in the battery properly, a BMW specialist or the dealer is your best bet, as most garages won't be able to complete the full process.
I put our 135i on a Bosch C3 charger hanging from a rope on a hook in the ceiling of the garage, so that it is In front of the windscreen (so we don't drive off with it connected). I feed the cables under the back edge of the bonnet by the wipers and connect to the engine compartment charging points. the bonnet is closed and doors locked while it is on the charger.

SLOUGH, England — Reckitt Benckiser on Monday announced the company will be looking to spin off its pharma business in the next 12 months.
"We believe that RB Pharmaceuticals has the potential to deliver significant long term value creation as a stand-alone business. We have therefore decided to pursue a demerger of RB Pharmaceuticals with a separate U.K. listing," stated Rakesh Kapoor, RB CEO. "We expect this to take place over the next 12 months. This will also allow RB to focus on its core strategy to be a global leader in consumer health and hygiene."
"Our focus and investment behind consumer health continues to deliver profitable growth, and our hygiene category is improved after a slow start. ... It is early days but we have made good progress on integrating our recent K-Y acquisition," he noted.

Your missing out on some cool charts...
John Zinkus a.k.a. Dazinkster
I'll give anyone $10 if they can tell me what a "metallurgist" is without googling it (yea right!). Well, this week's GoW will be one in the near future and he hopes to parlay that into the golf industry one day. Hey dazinkster, if you ever need a product review, you know where to look. Enjoy!
How old are you and what's your occupation?
24, currently in the write up year of my PhD in Metallurgy. I work with casting in particular and have some ideas for golf club manufacturing...but still waiting for that job offer from TaylorMade, etc ;)
When did you start playing golf and what's your handicap?
While I dabbled a little bit as a teenager, playing maybe 10 rounds maximum, I properly started playing 18 months ago in April 2010. This was all due to a mate asking me if I'd like to go to Vegas with him for a holiday and play a bit of golf while we were out there. I agreed, and after a few rounds I was hooked. My current handicap is 9.8, and still coming down. Aiming to be playing off single figures before the end of this season.
How often do you play?
Over the summer I look to get out at least 4 times a week, either on the course or just practicing. In the winter it's more tricky due to the light, probably 1 round per week, 1 trip to the range and a few sessions in the practice net when it's time to work on the swing.
Tell me about a great shot you've made.
Hmmm, one that sticks in my mind was during my first ever round representing my club in a match. It was a 17-24 handicap match so I didn't consider myself a very good player at the time (I was playing off 19).
Anyway, the hole was a medium length par 3. I'd pushed/sliced my tee shot and left myself 30 yards from the flag with trees between myself and the green (any other miss off the tee would have been fine...but not right). The format of the match was better-ball, so figured I'd better go for the par, which required getting the ball up and over the trees (at least 50 feet I reckon). I took out my 56 degree wedge, opened up the face and swang as hard as I could. The ball went up quickly, skimmed a few leaves, dropped over the other side, hit the flag, dropped in the hole...and bounced out to an inch. I was gutted it didn't stay in, but I obviously made the putt to halve the hole.
What is your best golf memory?
I'm not too sure I have a singular best memory, having been playing for less than 2 years. But I have fond memories of my first eagle, a pitch in from 40-50 yards; my first "big" money competition win, the sum total of £275 for a blistering 9 hole round (see best round below); and the trip to Vegas with one of my best mates playing golf out there, not due to the golf...but due to the company. Definitely goes to prove that the thing that makes this sport great (or any sport IMO) is the people you meet and friendships you develop/solidify along the way.
What is your "home" course?
That would be Harborne Golf Club, lovely parkland course that's been around for well over 100 years.
What ball do you play?
The Bridgestone B330-Tour series. Primarily the "S" version at the moment. When I joined Harborne I found I needed a really soft ball to hold the greens in summer, so distance balls didn't work. I tried out the RXS version and haven't looked back, really like the whole range!
Drivers: TaylorMade R9 SuperTri
Fairway Woods: Krank Golf Rage
Hybrids: Nike Victory Red
Irons: KZG Forged Evolution
Wedges: Eidolon V-Sole
Putters: Nike Method 001
Favorite pro?
Luke Donald, because he English for a start! But also because of his style of play, he doesn't try to overpower a course, he accepts that he can't hit it 330+ off the tee and uses his iron play/putting to score. As I only hit it 260-270 at the moment, he's a good role model for me to base my game on.
Favorite course you've played?
While I agree with a previous GoW that every course is fun and has its charms. I gotta say that Wolf Creek Golf Course in Nevada was my favourite, purely because it was so different to what you can ever get over here. The views were simply stunning and whilst we were only allowed to play off the middle tees the golf was still challenging. I definitely want to go back again at some point with my own clubs and maybe try out the championship tees.
Dream course you've yet to play?
The classic has to be St. Andrews, it would be a crime not to make the pilgrimage to the home of golf at some point. I'm also yet to play a round on any links course, something I'm looking to change in the next 12 months.
Best round ever- and what course?
Best 18 hole round score: 76 (+5) at Ansty Golf Centre, a municipal course in Leicestershire.
Best round: I shot level par gross for 9 holes playing off 15 for 26 stableford points in the final of my club's club night summer tournament last year. Every club night throughout the summer we have a 9-hole stableford comp, if you win then you qualify for the final at the end of the season. In the final off the back tees I was very nervous, topped my opening drive about 30 yards down the wrong fairway and started double bogey, bogey. Then I calmed down and played the remaining 7 holes in -3 to claim a nice £275 first prize.
What is one aspect of your golf game you would like to improve on in the next year?
Putting, putting, and putting! Nuff said really. I'm not converting anywhere near enough chances I get for birdie/par!
Tell me a story.
This has to be the time my friend crashed our golf buggy down a mini-ravine at Wolf Creek. You have to bear in mind that very few courses in this country have buggys available, and my friend wasn't a very experienced driver anyway. During the early part of the round I realized that the buggy's brakes locked up pretty easily, being an experienced driver I just accelerated out of the skid.
However, on a particularly steep slope between the 7th green and 8th tee my friend was driving and the wheels locked up when he braked, his instinctive reaction was to brake harder which only increased the skid. The buggy veered towards the edge of the path and a very steep ravine, at this point I bailed out and rolled down the path a bit. My mate stayed in the buggy as it went over the edge and crashed to the bottom of the ravine (about 40ft), he was thrown out halfway down and cut his shin on a rock. After calling the marshalls out and getting a new buggy, we completed our round. Then took my mate to hospital where he received 12 stitches in his shin to heal the wound. Needless to say, he didn't drive a buggy again for the whole holiday!

Congratulations on GoW, I too am a metallurgist and get the same blank stares when I tell people what I do. Good to see I'm not the only one!
oobscott2 says:
haha oh man, glad you are ok. thats crazy you guys crahed the golf cart. I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA and the course I played out there was very hilly. One day I was driving down the 8th fairway and the ground was wet and we just started spinning in circles, but luckily there wasn't a drop off or anything at the bottom of the hill
bkuehn1952 says:
Congratulations on the GoW! A knighthood can't be far behind.
Matt F says:
Congratulations on GOW...from this convict! BTW, I know what a metallurgist is. Good luck with your possible industry job!
Banker85 says:
That is a big drop, 40 ft!? Did the golf cart explode? Good Story! Welcome to the GOW club
Dazinkster says:
Cheers guys. Here's a link to the buggy crash pic, still not too sure how it stayed upright:
( i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy323/Dazinkster/Wol
I generally just tell people "Engineering" as opposed to "Metallurgist" for the reasons mentioned in the above comments
Dazinkster says:

Dazinkster says:
Appears as though the link is too long to post. I've changed my pic to the crashed buggy.
PS. If any OOB'ers are over in the UK feel free to give me a message to try and organise a round
txturkey says:
Worked in a foundry for 43 years-- metallurgist are required--lol

Congrats on GoW, John -- and I promise that we won't turn a "tin ear" toward this honor. :-P

The Android-running Samsung Moment debuted months before CES, but Samsung is spicing things up a bit by outfitting the same old Moment with the ability to receive live Digital Television (DTV) broadcasts.
The move to DTV on mobile devices seems like the natural next step following the nationwide switchover to DTV in June. Currently only in the testing phases, the pre-production model we took a look at had quite a bit of trouble getting a clear picture — though purportedly due to the many various signals flying through the air over the CES floor.
No word yet on availability or whether the DTV receiver components will be fully integrated with the DTV Moment or available as a separate accessory. Sprint plans to test the Moment with DTV signals in Washington DC and Baltimore.
