I don't disagree with the bulk of your (brief) review but it does astonish me that WP7 reviews always seem to be defined in terms of what's missing compared to iOS/Android. There is rarely any emphasis on the features WP7 brings that are lacking in other systems or what WP7 just does better.
The social networking integration is fantastic, the media player (and Zune desktop software) are the best out there, the email/office experience is a pleasure to use, the Xbox live integration is a major plus, the picture gallery is super slick and lag free.
Then there are the more subtle niceties that make such a difference. A dedicated camera button that doesn't require you to unlock your phone before taking a picture. The ability to upload a picture to Facebook, Flickr or Skydrive immediately after taking it. Being able to pin an album, favourite FM radio station, map or directions to your home screen. The way apps can integrate into the hubs to provide an integrative experience. The 25GB Skydrive storage.
Yep, there are things missing but the pros far outweigh the cons for me. Other people will disagree but I do think reviews should present the whole picture and let people make their own minds up. If you don't like it then that's fine but WP7 tries to be more than just a dumb app launcher and deserves that acknowledgement.
Finally, you can get this phone from as low as £330 (inc VAT), which has to be a complete bargain.
@jorig.. Sorry, the /sarcastic somehow got stripped off your post so didn't realise you were joking for a while there.
I'm sorry JohnH none of the features you mention seems like a killer to me and frankly small compared to the ones it lacks (the ones mentioned in the article, plus many more e.g no VPN, socket support for applications, etc)
Also while I take your word on the Zune experience being great on Windows (I have no idea) the recently released Mac Connector is paltry to the point of being a joke. Looks like something I could write over a weekend..
It's pretty clear that people have completely different needs from a phone hence the differing opinions. The features you say it lacks (VPN, socket support), neither of which mean anything to me incidentaly, are probably not ones that i'd describe as big issues, but for someone else they would be. Likewise the Social integration in WP7 while very good might be meaningless to others.
I think JohnHs point is basically that the reviews could give more credit where it's due particulary with regard to the social integration side of things and what it does well compared to android/apple seeing as the review does go into areas where it lacks.
But then again this isn't a review of WP7 it's a review of a handset!
To you perhaps they are not killer but how many users out there actually use VPN/socket support?
Windows Phone is targeted at those who would otherwise go for an iPhone. The features John H mentioned such as best in class media player, top notch social integration as well as the slick interface are huge pluses to those users.
As a tech-savvy consumer I agree android is where it's at but honestly windows phone 7 is still a contender in my book for the reasons John H mentioned.
But then I'm misleading all of you because what I really want is an HP Pre 3 + Touchpad.
I'd think most companies (even students at Unis) would require a VPN to get inside their network, access documents, intranet webpages? For a phone that claims so great office integration I'm completely shocked it doesn't have this already.
Application socket support is required so developers can create things like Skype or Fring, Instant Messaging applications, SSH clients, access corporate databases, network printing apps... anything that's not HTTP.
It's a never-ending list of applications that users need and simply can't be made at the moment until Microsoft lets people have this
(no promises yet).
You're really better served with the Pre, at least they've already done all these things years ago.
Could not agree with you more. WP7 does a lot of things far better than iOS or Android and is just so NICE to use. I genuinely enjoy playing with it.
If my next handset isn't running WP7 then there will have to be an extremely good reason. There's nothing at all wrong with my Desire/'Droid combo, but the OS just isn't as good.
Can't comment on WP7, as I've never used it. I have a HTC Desire, and judging by the comments I have seen about pretty much all of their phones, they aren't learning - the cameras are disappointing on all models as far as I can tell. Unless this changes, my next phone won't be an HTC.
I have this phone and have to say for me it's not that great!
Up to 2 days on one charge? What battery have you got because mine won't go past a day?
Backing up the phone i.e. calls, texts etc.? You CAN'T only thing you can back up is music and photos Hmmmm maybe it's just me but this is a phone not just ZUNE mp3 player.Or is it ? even the radio is shall we say POOR (no RDS)
Had a windows 6.1 HTC touch HD before this and with windows "my phone" could back up everything on the phone anywhere any time and restore it.
If you loose a windows 7 phone you have had it. But don't worry they've got your music and photos covered.
and when they say it's a windows my phone they mean it's THEIR phone not yours cant use your music as ring tones, change the colour of the tiles can't change the back ground behind the tiles either
Just my thoughts
@simon 282, I wasn't going to come back in on this but feel the need to keep it real:
- Sadly, a day on a charge is not unusual for smart phones in general.
- You're right about not backing up texts (not sure what you mean about calls). Hopefully MS will bring some MyPhone functionality to WP7 at some point, along with some Kin studio features too. Having said that, don't forget you can remotely map, lock and erase your phone if you loose it.
- OK, there are no custom ring tones but you can change the tile and background colour.
@Simon282 Yes, you can definitely change the tile and background colour. For OLED screens like the Omnia 7 it's best to leave the background black to save battery.
@JohnHSorry, @mistrip
sorry I mean contacts not calls and the background can only be changed from black to white and not a picture of your choice
Yes you can lock your phone but you will loose al your contacts as it backs them up on to the sim card
as someone who has not used any smartphone (I have a mobile, I use it for phone calls and texts), I would like to think that I could rely on TR reviews for an unbiased and disinterested review of the device.
For the end user it has to be benefits, not features per-se, which matter, and the trouble there, as several of the posts above attest, is that we each look for slightly different benefits. The skillful reviewer should impartially tease out all the major features of a device, suggesting what benefits these might afford, so that the diligent reader can come to an informed conclusion based on personal needs.
Main problems is WP7 is expensive at present (330 pounds for the cheapest WP7 is hardly a bargain) and due to its poor ad campaign, poorly taken. I have not seen one in the wild yet and I haven't even seen one in some phone shops yet. It's reliance on internal memory with no external storage is odd, considering the large memory you would expect camera pics/other photos/music (Zune + personal)/Video/apps can easily swallow up 8 and even 16gb without too much trouble these days. Microsoft vagueness with updates and problems with the ones that are available also don't make good publicity.
Personally speaking, it looks a OS as a concept that should have come at least 12 months before it actually did to give it a better chance against the competition.
@simon For contacts probably the best way to do it is set up a windows live account as it pulls them in from there. Not sure if it does the same with Yahoo or Gmail, but definitely works with Hotmail/Windows Live.
Just bought this mobile phone as replacement for my blackberry (which gave me nothing but trouble ) Orange salesman assured me that it was the best option and information ie outlook address books etc could be easily transfered - After a day and half still cant be done - beware it looks as though this phone is suitable only for teenage gamesters
Interface and speeker etc are terrible - limited to microsoft systems only - I will be changing it ASAP
I have brought this phone for £15 a month with unlimited texts, 100 minutes and 100mb internet per month. This phone is brilliant. Fast, sleek and the feel is great. I have not had a problem with this phone so far and i have had it for around 1/2 a year. Setting up this phone was simple and easy. I have only used half the memory and i store lots of photos and texts on the phone for future use. I have never been happier with a phone and i definatly prefer wp7 to android. To sync i can use windows account, google, yahoo, facebook, twitter and lots more. The phone can be easily personnalized using colours, layout etc. Personally i love the sound and camera. I could not have got a better phone. Thanks phones4u.

Kevin Clifton has admitted that dancing hasn't come as easy as some people may have expected to his new Strictly Come Dancing partner.
The 30 year old professional dancer joined the lineup on the BBC show for the first time this series and so far, he's been delighted with the reception he's received. On last week's launch episode he was paired with BBC Breakfast presenter Susannah Reid but he revealed that now that practice sessions have started, the brunette beauty has been finding things a little tough.
The new duo entered the dance studio for the first time at the beginning of this week and while Kevin holds high hopes for Reid, he told ThisIsGrimsby:
"The first few days have just been mental, it's a little bit exhausting."
"We've just been focusing on choregraphy for the first couple of days and it has just been a bit information overload for Susannah so far."
"I was really pleased to get Susannah though, I definitely saw a spark in her."
Kevin was worried about who he'd be paired with but in the end, he couldn't have wished for a better partner and added:
"I was a bit nervous as I was down to the last two on stage to find out who I would have but in the end I was so relieved.
"I'm loving every minute of it…"
Susannah has a lot of her plate at the moment, because as well as rehearsing in London every day, she also has to make the trip to Salford, where she fronts the daily BBC Breakfast instalments.
That's a lot of train journeys and a lot of travelling and Kevin really admires his new partner's stamina and determination and continued:
"I really don't know how she does it, she must be exhausted.
"She is so hard on herself on the dancing, she wants everything to be right and if not she gets mad with herself.
"Maybe she's a little bit too harsh on herself, but it is good in a way.
"She has done really well so far though, especially as her job entails sitting on a settee interviewing people."
Clifton seemed happy with his first day of training with Susannah this week and he tweeted his fans saying:
"Great first day of training. @susannareid100 is a real hard worker. Very happy :)"
Reid tweeted:
"Thanks for the training @keviclifton … Back for more tomorrow #strictly"
Are you looking forward to seeing Susannah and Kevin on Strictly Come Dancing? Leave your comments below….

Loans given away by El Paso County remain unpaid five years later
EL PASO, Texas - A rush to lend money led to a series of bad loans handed out by El Paso County.
Whether it's Horizon City, or far west El Paso, you won't find any of the 17 businesses that El Paso County gave a total of more than $600,000 to in 2007. Instead, you'll find empty storefronts.
"There was some urgency," said Rosemary Neill, explaining how the loans came to be. "The state notified us in the waning days of a prior administration, so the information was taken to the prior administration, but they recognized a change was coming, so they deferred it to a new court."
Neill, the director of the Family and Community Services department, is in charge of the loans. Her department was put in charge after a shuffle in county government left the program forgotten, and dormant, for several years. During El Paso County's budget crunch, jobs were cut, and departments were shuffled. Forgotten was a Texas Capital grant worth hundreds of thousands of dollars that was tagged for use on economic-boosting programs.
By the time it was discovered, a decision had to be made: give back the money, or find a use for it. With no guarantee the money would be used in El Paso County, a past administration made the move to use the money.
El Paso County turned to the local Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to recruit businesses in need to help. Information on how many businesses applied for loans was not available, however, 17 were eventually given loans. Only one business, Sage View Homes, paid that money back, but it has since failed as well.
Another failed business was a pest control business. Yet another, a shipping company.
"Gas prices sky rocketed, diesel went up," said Neill. "Trucking, a small trucking firm, we had loans like that."
While the failure was bad, the collections were worse. It's been five years since the loans were handed out, and more than $450,000 remains unpaid.
In August, Neill went before the County Commissioners Court and asked the loans be written off so they could try another round of loans. The previous debts were deemed uncollectable by Neill and her staff. The county's legal department is looking for more information on whether legally they can obtain anything in return for the capital they handed out.
Apparently, in the rush to hand out loans, the county didn't have a chance to write loans with liens. That made it difficult to collect as businesses failed one by one.
"In hindsight, certainly we can look at the track record we've built and it certainly doesn't look good, but the court looking at it was looking at a different set of variables," said Neill. "It looked better to them than it did two years, three years or four years later."
Neill points out the county wasn't trying to compete with banks. In fact, they sought unbankable businesses to take a risk on and help create more small businesses in El Paso. Unfortunately, it didn't succeed, but the county hasn't given up. Neill said they are still looking at giving our more loans in the near future.

- - Wouldn't heave to in 25 knots of wind. (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/seamanship-navigation/77397-wouldnt-heave-25-knots-wind.html)
Wouldn't heave to in 25 knots of wind.
The other weekend winds were increasing so I wanted to heave-to in order to reef the main. They were gusting about 25 knots.
So I simply let the boat tack without tacking the jib - coming through the wind slowly then letting the jib fill progressively. But rather than heaving-to nicely, the bow began to spin around so that the jib was totally taken aback. At this point the angle of heel began to get worrying so we cast loose the jib sheet.
Reefing was done then sailing on the jib, close hauled, with the main sheeted out so luffing slightly. This seemed to work fine, but it wouldn't work single-handed, at least not without an auto-pilot!
I really want to get this boat to heave-to. What did I do wrong?
This boat has a large fore-triangle, so the jib is pretty large. I wonder if this is the problem, that the main can't balance out the force from the jib. I had the jib furled to about 100% at the time. Maybe it should be furled smaller before heaving to? I also wonder if I should have had the main sheeted in more - it was sheeted almost fully out.
Any advice would be helpful and will be tried out this weekend!
Hard to say for sure, what happened. Certainly, you don't want to heave-to with anything more than 100 % since the sail will chafe on the spreaders or shrouds.
Perhaps it was too much sail for the wind.
I don't usually ease into the tack, I just roll up the furler to about 90% and then do a quick tack, leaving the jib. Once I'm through the wind, I let the traveler out all the way and turn the wheel to windward..( Rudder to Windward). Sometimes I may have to ease the main a little more..and adjust the rudder if I'm in a current..
Did you remember to put the helm over?
Every boat will behave a little differently.
I do this all the time to take a reef, shake one out, have lunch, catch fish...etc.
I would just continue to practice in varying wind conditions and sail shapes, you'll find the sweet spot eventually.
I can't remember what boat you have.
Each boat will react differently to heaving to in different wind situations.
You probably had too much jib out. Next time try sheeting in the main as well to get the right balance. You are going to have to play with this to find the sweet spot.
My Catalina doesn't heave to with even the 110% lapper up-with the helm down, it heads ~45 degrees off the wind, and happily sails on with the jib on the windward side. (This after quickly heading off the wind, giving rise to fears of an accidental jibe.)
If your boat does the same thing, maybe it's the same problem.
I bought a used ~70-80% foresail to use in 25-30 knots, in case I do want to heave to-but I haven't tried heaving to with it yet...
Sounds like just how mine behaves.
My last boat heaved-to wonderfully. That had a very small foretriangle, so that the jib was only 30% of sail area. I had a 90% jib, so I was down to even less.
Mark, just sail to weather, let the jib sail the boat while you ease the main sheet (make sure the vang is off), then commence with your reefing sequence. The main flogs for just a bit, but the reefing goes quickly and importantly, the boat keeps sailing smartly rather than flailing around out in the SF Bay ebb.
One question:
If you are trying to heave to withthe jib and main, how can you reef the main after you are succesful?
[QUOTE=celenoglu;760770]One question:
If you are trying to heave to withthe jib and main, how can you reef the main after you are succesful?[/QUOTE
The backed jib and the rudder are what allow me to heave to. Then I set the traveler over to take pressure off the mainsail. Sometimes it's necessary to ease the mainsheet. Basically the boom pointing toward the wind..so the main is in irons..then you can lower the main to set the new tack and clew.
The main doesn't need to flog around..just needs enough pressure off to ease the halyard.

Head to Quiltmaker's blog, Quilty Pleasures to read even more about the book and enter the giveaway for one last chance to win!
Today's quilt is Geese. I love this quilt. I made it to fit over the mantle in my living room. Originally I had the geese with the bottoms straight, like a pieced flying geese. But for applique, I thought it should be a little different so I made the shapes different enough from the standard flying geese but yet similar enough that every quiltmakers will understand!
I used all solids except the one print. After auditioning it with all solids, it really was way too flat and boring. Adding in just the one print changed the whole feel of the piece. When your working with a minimalist concept, every shape, fabric and color has to count. That's why the center stripe of background fabric is a pale yellow, not another gray. It is just more interesting with a different color thrown in.
And I have to tell you about the quilting. This is another Angela Walters creation. She used a variety of fills for each of the background panels, but it's what she did on the large geese that makes her the genius she is! She put end trails on them! They look like they are shooting off into space! I hope you can see it on the photo. The quilting on this quilt makes it. Without it Geese would be nice, but rather ho hum. Thanks Angela!
Thanks to all of you who have stuck out the tour with me! And thanks to all who have been entering the contest! Check out the guest bloggers if you haven't entered their contest yet. (Some of the contests are over, so check that before leaving a comment.

Yeah this thread is totally off topic.
But my workspace Photoshop is a customized version of "Essential" for CS4 ….heres a screenshot
And for Illustrator
And InDesign
Here is mine:
I leave space for the most important thing in Photoshop, the layers, I'm a complete layer-man. It also gives me all the space I need for the workspace and everything is at hand at the layer's side. I label my workspace with inspirational phrases, just to make it more personal, and of course, to motivate me. The icons at the right side have a special position depending on what it is, for example, the history is at the top because it's one of the most used and it can be long so it needs space, and the last ones are notes and layer comps, and so. I've used Photoshop for a long time and I know exactly how I want it to be configured. I don't post pictures for the rest of the Adobe Suite as I don't work on other app too often and if I do I still don't have the experience to change the layout as in Photoshop.
I hope you like it, any question I'll be glad to answer, and I think this is a great thread.
Workspace changes depending on the task at hand but generally for my "normal" design jobs i run with this setup

I just got the AUX input installed in my '06 530i and I am really disappointed with the sound quality. Its horrible; much worse than I would ever expect. I use an MP3 cd in my car and have the same files on my blackberry and iPod. Both the blackberry and iPod sound horrible through the AUX playing the same MP3 as the CD, where the CD sounds great. First change will be to get a new input cable, but when I used my existing cable on my friends car, it sounded fine. I am planning on removing the high pass filter from the vehicle, but could there be a problem with my install? The sound is nothing near what it should be, but before I do anything, I might have the dealer take a look.
On a second look and some light analysis of the filter, it will stay. It is a high pass filter, and will only filter out frequencies below about 5 hz, which is below hearing range. The ratio of output to input at 5 hz is still .916 and it drops off quickly from there. Thats not the issue, but does anyone have an idea about what could cause such poor sound from this system other than improper hookup?
If you want an idea of how it sounds, go to your iTunes equalizer, bottom out all of the ranges except 16K > +12 dB, and 32 > -6 dB

What Some New York Poets Are Up To: Anne Waldman
It's as if people have ceded both their destinies and their imaginations to "a hopeless gray area of defeat and despair," Anne Waldman comments in the introduction to the anthology Civil Disobedience: Poetics & Politics in Action
(Coffee House Press, 2004). Few other American writers have responded to that malaise with as much joy, ferocity and irrepressible charge as Anne Waldman.
Order through Small Press Distribution or firstname.lastname@example.com
On a new CD, Matching Half , you can hear Waldman with collaborator Akilah Oliver. The two poets deliver stichomythic rapoetry to music composed by Ambrose Bye. (In performance, should you get a chance to see them, the two poets are hypnotic, improvising a kind of Beat-Sapphic choreography).
Over the insistently repeated piano figurations of "To Show my Face," one of the cd's early cuts, Waldman's vocal inflections are riveting. Part poetry, part song, part conversation, part incantation, her urgent whisper—"It was your face that was always needed"—brings into relation the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas, daily routine, "self-immolating attacks" and the responsibilities of Americans.
Matching Half covers a wide range of themes—from corset-makers in St. Petersburg (in a song that illuminates a historical connection between Emma Goldman and J. Edgar Hoover), to Buddhist binaries (in "Flame" where Bye loops haunting piano- scapes over quiet bass and percussion), to manatees (in a cri de coeur for the non-human world), to splatters of violence that mark the world map and "shapes of the mind on fire." On "Strangeness of Living," Akilah Oliver's stuttering, computerized voice is counterpointed by the lovely guitar work of Zia Alem.
The "Manatee/Humanity" cut on Matching Half serves also as an appetizer for Waldman's forthcoming book—Spring 2009—from Penguin.
And then there is First Baby Poems , coming out from visionary poet/publisher Geoffrey Gatza's press BlazeVox. Written during her pregnancy with Ambrose– that same Ambrose Bye who now, twenty years later, wrote the music for Matching Half –First Baby Poems has been compared to one of my favorite of Waldman's books, Marriage: A Sentence . (Gatza, who has a cat named after Waldman, notes that the book will be available by the end of the month. Check here First Baby Poems.
Comments (2)
I think Waldman has another collection coming out very soon from Geoffrey Gatza's BlazeVox Books.
Thanks Forrest for the kind words, you seemed enchanted. The CD was made by Farfalla Press and Fast Speaking Music, not sure how that got dropped.

SEATTLE — Eric Hassli scored twice, but people will talk about only the second one: an unbelievable 85th-minute equalizer as Vancouver earned a 2-2 draw with Seattle at Qwest Field on Saturday night. With the Whitecaps reeling after conceding two goals in four minutes, Hassli volleyed a dipping shot from outside the penalty area into the far corner of Kasey Keller's net to salvage a point for the visitors.
The French designated player, who opened the scoring for the visitors on a penalty kick in the 29th minute, now has six goals in 10 games.
WATCH: Hassli stunner
Mauro Rosales' goal for Seattle in the 81st minute was followed quickly by Osvaldo Alonso's tally in the 84th minute, giving Seattle a brief 2-1 lead before Hassli's improbable rocket sent the visiting Whitecaps fan into a frenzy.
A capacity crowd showed up for the 123rd meeting of the two rivals, a cross-border feud that has stretched four decades, and now, for the first time, is in Major League Soccer.
Vancouver didn't flinch in the raucous environment of Qwest Field. The Whitecaps claimed the first great scoring chance of the evening, with Camilo testing Keller with a shot from outside the penalty area. Seattle battle back with two great goal-scoring opportunities of their own. Alonso had a volley from distance saved by Joe Cannon in the 20th minute while Fredy Montero couldn't quite direct Brad Evans' cross home a minute later.
Vancouver broke through first on the penalty kick. A pass from Jeb Brovsky set up Camilo down the left side, and his clever cutback led to a foul from Alonso. Hassli calmly buried the penalty kick, chipping the ball down the middle as Keller guessed left.
It was just Vancouver's fourth lead of the season and the visitors did everything they could to protect it. The Whitecaps dodged a bullet when Mike Fucito failed to convert a tough breakaway against Cannon just before halftime.
Seattle brought on two attacking substitutes in the second half to spark the offense, Nate Jaqua and Miguel Montaño. Shortly afterward, Seattle had a good chance in the penalty area snuffed out by Brovsky's lunging tackle in the 67th minute.
The crowd attempted to urge the Sounders forward against the resolute defense led by Vancouver's centerback combination of Jay DeMerit and Mouloud Akloul. Vancouver coach Tom Soehn inserted former Sounder Pete Vagenas in the 73rd minute to calm his team, but ultimately it wasn't enough to repel Seattle.
Rosales' 81st-minute equalizer, a redirection off a deflected cross from the left, set the stage for a frenetic finish. Alonso staked Seattle a lead after collecting a turnover from Shea Salinas and lashing a left-footed blast into the lower corner.
Then came Hassli's goal, which will surely be in the running for Goal of the Year.
Seattle next travel to Toronto FC on Saturday, while Vancouver return home to entertain the Philadelphia Union the same day.

How Now Shall We Live? (original 1999; edition 1999)
by Charles W. Colson
Work details
How Now Shall We Live? by Charles W. Colson (1999)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is a great book. It helped me get started in exploring how my Christian conviction applied to much more than just "religion".
I have read quite a few of the Christian worldview books and this one is one of the best. It is kind of a modern follow-up to Francis Schaeffer's How Then Should We Live. Colson and Pearcey set up the book using the Creation - Fall - Redemption - Restoration model. They have very interesting true life stories to introduce each section. They also bring in the relative historical philosophy that helps explain where and why we are in this postmodern age. Ideas are given to help Christians think through how to work out their worldview and practically influence in our culture.
One of the early defining books on the subject of worldview. Using as a structure Creation, The Fall, Redemption and Restoration we are led through discussions on Darwinism, Sin, Utopianism, Apologetics, The Culture of Death, Multiculturalism, Naturalism and many other issues in the search for answers in a world of opposing worldviews. Each section is introduced by a story that illustrates and presents the practical application of what will be discussed. Nancy Pearcey, who was influenced by her time spent with the Philosopher-Theologian, Francis Sheaffer, provides the philosophical--intellectual underpinnings of the book while Colson provides knowledge of culture, theology, intellectual depth and a wealth of experience. Well written, interesting book that is easy to follow yet challenging in its thought.
Coming before 9//1, some of the issues addressed are dated, but many of the issues in the book have only become hotter, if that is possible.
Addressing contemporary cultural and philosophical issues, Colson and Pearcey attempt to demonstrate the completeness – as a "total life system" – of the Christian worldview. Using the three-fold paradigm of "creation-fall-redemption," the authors analyze competing worldviews (especially naturalism and postmodernism) and illustrate their effects on morality and culture. As Christians, we have a "cultural mandate" to influence and even redeem the culture in which we live. A very useful and timely book, but reflects a culturally biased agenda - B+

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0842318089, Hardcover)How Now Shall We Live was the heart cry of a people who lived during the Jewish exile from the Promised Land, yet it is no less the unspoken prayer of the faithful today. As author Chuck Colson puts it, "We live in a culture that is at best morally indifferent ... in which Judeo-Christian values are mocked ... in which violence, banality, meanness, and disintegrating personal behavior are destroying civility and endangering the very life of our communities." It is no small wonder that Colson--the founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries and author of several renowned Christian works--considers this book the most important work of his life.
America, Colson states, is now in a post-Judeo-Christian era. Technically, this is what "postmodernism" means. In a generation in which the most respected brands of thought about reality declare that "God is dead," it is clear that a faith-based worldview does not prevail. So how do we teach our children that belief in God is respectable and intelligent? How do we fulfill our mandate to make "disciples of all nations" when friends and coworkers find the Christian perspective foolhardy and--in terms of rational thought--almost insane? Most important, how do we renew our entire culture, especially as it infects the global community, with the "common grace" of reinstating a prevailing belief in God and in His moral order?
These questions' implications are far-reaching, and Colson's thorough inquiry is a ready match for the challenge. In effect, this book delivers a logical, more than just "because the Bible says so" framework for interpreting the Gospel to the postmodern world, while also illustrating the vision for a culture based entirely on Biblical principles--powerful tools, indeed.
Christians are taught to love God with all their hearts, all their strength, and all their minds. How Now Shall We Live emphasizes that not to use one's mind in this idea-saturated culture is to abandon dying neighbors to bleed by the side of the road while going about one's religious way. As Colson puts it, "turning our backs on the culture ... denies God's sovereignty over all of life." It's this compassionate severity and prodding intelligence that make this book not only a good read, but a life-changing one as well. --Courtenay Gebhardt
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:16:43 -0400)
Discusses how a person's view of the world influences how a person lives and argues that Christians are called not only to personal faith but to a biblical worldview.

In addition, Hahn recruited Mike Trimboli, Joe Trapani, Evan Fjeld and Maurice Joseph at Vermont. Trimboli was named the 2006 America East Rookie of the Year and went on to be to a four-time All-America East selection, while Trapani was named to the 2007 America East All-Rookie Team.

I'm sorry, I skimmed over some parts, but I got most of it.
Reminds me of my now 7 year old when she was 2 and 3.
At the moment I'm not going to go in depth with detail. But I was so frustrated I would sit down and cry at least once a day. Her meltdowns were so frequent and so long lasting that I was always exhausted and at the end of my rope. There seemed to be a miss fire in her brain. She knew right from wrong, it was almost like she couldn't focus on the result or effect of what she was doing. But she could play on the computer for hours, and I let her because she could focus on it.
She learns much in the way you describe your son does too.
Long story short, I spent weeks upon weeks googling and reading information. What I came up with told me she had autistic behavior characteristics, although she wasn't diagnosed as such. I changed her diet, removed dairy completely (sometimes gluten is to blame too) and started giving her psyllium fiber a couple times a week to keep her regular. Started giving her probiotics (acidophilus), and vitamin D. And we continued focusing on calming activities (I would have her sit and close her eyes and picture a rainbow on the center of her forehead and try to look at it. Then I would tell her to look at her rainbow when she needed to calm down.)
I'm sharing this because she is the most well behaved, fantastic kid. She does well in school, her teachers love her. I still remember what a hard time I had when she was a toddler, and her doctor wouldn't listen to me. I know what it feels like to think you've done everything wrong and somehow caused this. I felt like it was my fault at the time, and now I'm proud to say I've fixed it.

Absolutely gorgeous!
Dec 4, 2013 | By Anjanette
This is a striking scarf. The colors are fabulously vibrant and it feels sumptuous. The gift envelope it was packaged in was also beautiful, ready to go as a luxurious, yet affordable gift! The only caution I have is to take note of the measurements, as this is not a large shawl-type scarf. I am fairly petite, though, and I prefer less voluminous scarves. Quick shipping too. Overall very happy with this purchase!

Do you guys collect these for collection purposes? Do you shoot them a lot? What is the benefit of having, say, a new ar-15? Are you sort of preparing for a SHTF situation? Or is it just fun to shoot them? Why not a regular rifle?
Just trying to see the appeal of them, besides just being really cool looking, etc.
It is a great self defense weapon!! You don't take a pistol to a gun fight. You take a weapon!! Steve48
What is a regular rifle? IMO, a rifle is a rifle, be it a 10/22, Winchester 70, AR-15, Barrett... etc. Each rifle is different, which allows anyone to choose a rifle that fits them best. People who want to put lead in the air, a semi-auto / full-auto capable rifle would fit them. People who like to take only a few slow, relaxing, shots, bolt action rifle for them.
For me, I like all rifles. AR-15 for those times when I'm a little worked up. Bolt action for when I just want to have a lazy shooting day.
1) they are fun to shoot,
What is a regular rifle?
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
Personally, I bought m EBR for home defense. I live in an apartment, so in a self defense situation I was concerned about an errant round going through the wall and endangering a neighbor. A .223 rifle with frangible ammo seemed like the best compromise between effectiveness and reduced risk penetration.
As far as the appeal of AR-15 vs. Regular Rifle, lets go back to the "Ginger vs. Maryanne" scenario:
Maryanne = "regular rifle"...dependable, low maintenance, inexpensive to operate...
Ginger = "AR-15"...sexy, high maintenance, expensive to feed and keep happy...but lots of fun to operate...
Mrs. Howell = The beat up ugly old musket that you found in GrandPaps attic.

I'm just curious if you would concider popular semi-auto rifles like the remington 750 an irregular rifle since it's also a gas operated semi-auto.
"Some people go to bed with Lucifer..........then cry, cry, cry when they don't greet the day with God."
The AR15 (and clones) are solid, fun to shoot, reliable semi-auto firearms with a world of accessories available, in a popular medium power cartridge. They can be easily configured for everything from benchrest shooting to tin can plinking. Ammunition is fairly inexpensive, and readily available for just about any application. They are an excellent choice for any number of uses, including target shooting, self defense, and varmint hunting.
An assault rifle is a select fire rifle sized between a full power battle rifle and a pistol caliber sub-machine gun. Due to the artificially inflated pricing caused by U.S. government interference in what is supposed to be a free economy, assault rifles are priced way out of my budget.
The only difference between what the brady bunch is calling 'assault weapons' and millions of more 'traditional' firearms is a synthetic stock. Once they ban this batch of politically incorrect firearms, they'll move on to the next batch. Note that Brady herself was recently quoted as saying that a scope makes a rifle into a 'sniper rifle', and should not be available to the public... They'll not be satisfied until we are plinking at the range with slingshots.
Liberty is an inherently offensive lifestyle. Living in a free society guarantees that each one of us will see our most cherished principles and beliefs questioned and in some cases mocked. It's worth it.
AR-15s and AR-10s are good, reliable rifles, and a lot of fun to shoot. They're excellent for a wide range of uses, from personal defense, to target shooting and plinking, to hunting. They are "regular" rifles, just have a distinctive appearance, since they look like the weapons used by our military and a lot of our allies.
Keep in mind that the designation "AR" comes from the original manufacturer, Armalite, and does not stand for "assault rifle". As has been mentioned, it's not an assault rifle, which would have select fire or full auto capabilities.

My two semi-auto rifles are probably my two most fired centerfire rifles. (the .22 wins most fired hands down). Ammo is relatively inexpensive, and they are fun to shoot. If there was a defense situation where I had time to grab a rifle, I would reach for one of them first.
Is my Mini-14 (stainless with black composite stock) a regular rifle? Would it be if it was instead blued with wood?

I think you've pretty well gotten the answer! In all honesty, there are rifles, shotguns and pistols, and (barring ClassIII, or other exotica) you really can't differentiate too much more, in practical terms. The HCI crowd is intelligent enough to realize that folks with $2000+ to spend on double-barreled duck guns, are probably politically active as well, the 18-25 yo with their SKS/AK probably isn't.
Its all sport, at this point. Bottom line: any hunting arm is designed to kill; military-style arms simply offer more rounds on target in the same amount of time (provided you can shoot either a bolt or the semi-auto competently). It makes no difference to me- if I need a defensive arm, whatever I have will do, but the semi- performs its loading operation without me having to think about it. I can concentrate on important things- like running and/or ducking.
Talk to anyone living within 50 miles of our southern border- this is becoming less and less "academic" each day. My dad used to think I was a "gun nut". He's lived the past 9 years in south TX. He doesn't go around his property armed to ward off stray doggies. He doesn't chuckle indulgently at my AK either.
Yup, my fault on the "rifle" language use. My idea of a "regular rifle" is the old bolt action hunting rifle or something like that. Point taken. And of course, I was not in the least bit criticising those who own these...i think they are cool as hell and would like to get one sometime.
As one of the uninitiated, when i think of AK47s and AR15s, I think of rambo shooting endless rounds from the hip with no aiming. Obviously I know thats not what you guys do (though im sure you do sometimes, as this looks very fun).
My AK is mostly for training. If for some reason there isn't a working M-16, 249, or 240 around, there might be a few AKs lying around that I might borrow. A firefight does not seem the appropriate time to learn to use a new weapon so practicing on the most common battle weapon in the world seemed prudent.
The Army doesn't supply me with an AK and range time so I went and got my own.
My AR, I got it "just in case". I don't anticipate needing it for any real purpose, but it's good to have anyway. Until then, it's fun to shoot and helps me make up lost range time since I left the infantry.
"and suddenly I can not hold back my sword hand's anger"
I really don't shoot from the hip.
My M-1 carbine would be very easy too, My FAL is not a hip shooter. The FAL is used for hunting the carbine just for fun.
Plus to me the fun does not equal the ammo spent when I practice spraying and praying.

Anthony Johnson vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira slated for UFC on FOX 12
I like the matchmaking here. The winner should be considered firmly top ten and a good win away from finding themselves in title contention. I see Johnson bullying Rogerio though.
If Nog makes it to the fight, keyword being if, Rumble should win by stoppage.

Not a good matchup for Nog. But he may fare better than Phil with the TDs. Phil is a goof who shoots from 20 feet away. He has no confidence in his TD attempts. Nog would use the cage and clinch similar to Big Nog. Which is more effective vs. an athletic powerful striker who can use a knee or a kick at any time to hurt you. But Nog will probably struggle getting take downs, if he even tries at all. Nog has very good hands within the pocket could box AJ up. But this won't be from the pocket and sometimes you can't account for the gap in athleticism, explosiveness, and power.
Not a good matchup for Nog. Hate to downplay Nog as he a good fighter. But the matchup is AJs to lose. Add in how old Nog is. Add in his lack of activity. I want to say the UFC is manufacturing a contender.

Pulling for my favourite Nogueira brother to take this one. My confidence in that actually happening is 50/50 though depending on injuries.

So in other words, UFC will be scrambling a month before the fight to find a replacement. Got it.
Since he fought Arlovski, for some reason "Rumble vs. Big Nog" first popped into my head.
I hope it's a decent fight, was hoping Rumble would get someone a little better after tooling Davis. Rumble via TKO round 2.
Hmmm, not a bad fight at all. If Rumble wins this then he is up there for title contention (mostly because there aren't a ton of guys knocking at that door right now).
Apart of me wants to see Johnson win this just because Lil Nog is incredibly inactive and not exactly young either. I know injuries have plagued him and it's not his fault, but come on.. Two fights in 2010, two in 2011, ZERO in 2012, and one in 2013. It's gotten to the point where I don't even care about his modern career anymore because even if he does beat a top guy, he will just get injured and be out for a year again. He must be the most inactive top 10 fighter in the world. Only reason I consider him top 10 is because of his win over Rashad, although I'm not sure if you can even rank him currently considering he rarely actually fights.
Who knows if he will even make it to this fight. If he doesn't, he should think about retiring. These injuries can't be doing his health any good. Be safe Lil Nog!
That being said, I think Anthony will win. His wrestling is solid enough to keep this standing, and his athleticism and power should make a difference. I don't exactly expect Lil Nog's boxing to be in top form. If he does happen to out strike Johnson, I could see Anthony taking him down. Nog's bottom game hasn't looked great in a while.
If that AJ we saw last fight against Davis shows up I think he is stopping lil Nog.
(If this fight happens, like you guys said hahaha)

Blade switch depoyments are increasingly common among enterprise customers. Gartner claims that blade servers are the fastest growing segment of the server market. This trend means that Fibre Channel attach rates for blade server enclosures will also grow. As the scale of blade server deployment increases, however, it introduces some challenges, such as large increases in the number of domain IDs, increased server and network management complexity, and interoperability concerns in multivendor environments. The Cisco® N-Port Virtualizer (NPV) feature introduced in Cisco MDS 9000 SAN-OS Software Release 3.2(1) addresses these challenges, offering these features:
• Increased scalability by reducing the number of Fibre Channel domain IDs used
• Seamless interoperability between Fibre Channel blade switches and multivendor core storage area network (SAN) switches
• Enterprise-class high availability
• Virtual SANs (VSANs), for segmentation and fault isolation
• Advanced traffic management
• Increased operational flexibility for blade server additions, moves, and changes
• Simplified Fibre Channel blade switch management
Figure 1. Fibre Channel Blade Switch Deployment Architectural Models
Key Features and Benefits of NPV
• Enhanced scalability with reduced domain ID use: One of the primary challenges in large-scale blade server deployments is the number of Fibre Channel domain IDs that are required. Each Fibre Channel blade switch in a blade server uses one Fibre Channel domain ID and provides Fibre Channel connectivity for up to 16 blade servers. For example, a 1000-blade server deployment will require up to 60 Fibre Channel blade switches, which translates to 60 Fibre Channel domain IDs. This number becomes a deployment challenge because storage OSMs(Original Storage Manufacturers) place an upper limit on the number of Fibre Channel domain IDs in a SAN. This number is typically less than 40 even though the theoretical limit is 239. Cisco NPV addresses this challenge. With Cisco NPV, the Fibre Channel blade switch behaves like an HBA, so it does not use a Fibre Channel domain ID. Instead, it gets a Fibre Channel ID (FC-ID) for the blade servers from the core SAN. Therefore, a 1000-blade server deployment will use only two or so Fibre Channel doman IDs.
• Seamless interoperability in multivendor environements: The existing switch-switch interoperability between multivendor SANs based on E-port connectivity requires configuration of special interopability modes and has to be managed carefully in an ongoing process. Cisco NPV addresses this challenge. With Cisco NPV, the Fibre Channel switch behaves like an HBA, so it provides transparent interoperability in multivendor environemnts. Thus, interoperability between Fibre Channel blade switches with Cisco NPV enabled and the core SAN is no different than interoperability today between a server connected to a SAN using N-port-to-F-port connectivity.
• Enterprise-class high availability: Cisco NPV in conjunction with inherent Cisco MDS 9000 SAN-OS Software capabilities offers enterprise-class high availability for blade server deployments. Cisco MDS 9000 SAN-OS Software supports Cisco In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU), or nondisruptive software upgrade. With dual HBAs in the server, dual homing of servers to fabric switches and a two-core design eliminates any single point of failure. HBA failure, fabric switch failure, or link failure is handled without any loss of connectivity (Figure 2).
Figure 2. High Availability
• VSANs for segmentation and fault isolation: VSAN, an industry standard for fabric virtualization capabilities, allows more efficient storage network use through creation of hardware-based isolated environments within a single physical SAN fabric or switch. Up to 16 VSANs are supported per switch. Each VSAN supports role-based access control (RBAC), allows separate configuration and separate fabric services, and operates as a separate SAN. In the example in Figure 3, two VSANs are created and traffic is segregated. Each blade server can have an independent VSAN or a group of servers can be on one VSAN, offering maximum flexibility and resiliency. Faults or outages in one VSAN do not affect other VSANs.
Figure 3. VSANs for Segmentation and Fault Isolation
– Virtual output queuing helps ensure line-rate performance on each port, independent of traffic pattern, by eliminating head-of-line blocking.
– VSAN-based partitioning increases fabric efficiency and availability by sectionalizing the fabric.
– Comprehensive port and flow statistics facilitate sophisticated performance analysis and service-level agreements (SLAs).
– Dynamic load balancing across multiple links equalizes the number of FC-IDs per link.
• Increased operational flexibility for blade server additions, moves, and changes: The Cisco SAN Device Virtualization (SDV) feature makes it easy to add, remove, or modify blade servers without reconfiguration of the SAN and storage arrays. Without Cisco SDV, when a server fails, considerable downtime is required to bring the secondary server online because of the need for zoning changes and reconfiguration of storage arrays. Cisco SDV presents the virtual address for provisioning. When a physical device is changed, no reconfiguration is required because the virtual address remains the same and the new physical address is automatically mapped to the virtual address (Figure 4).
Figure 4. Cisco NPV Flexibility for Additions, Moves, and Changes
• Simplified Fibre Channel blade switch management: Cisco Fabric Manager is a responsive, easy-to-use, Web-based application that simplifies the management of Cisco blade switches. Cisco Fabric Manager offers storage administrators fabricwide management capabilities, including discovery, multiple-switch configuration, continuous network monitoring, and troubleshooting. This powerful approach greatly reduces switch setup times, increases overall fabric reliability, and provides robust diagnostics for resolving network problems and configuration inconsistencies. The following feaures help simplify management:
– End-to-end Cisco switches, so that Cisco MDS 9000 SAN-OS Software is common to all devices, thereby helping ensure a consistent feature set
– Centralized authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server for authentication
– RBAC on a per-VSAN basis
– Switch handled as an HBA and so requires minimal configuration and management
Minimum Software Requirements
• Cisco MDS 9000 SAN-OS Software Release 3.2(1)
Cisco NPV Support
• IBM and HP blade switches
• Cisco MDS 9124 Multilayer Fabric Switch
• Cisco MDS 9134 34-Port Multilayer Fabric Switch
• Up to 70 switches connected to a single external switch
• Core can have two switches to enhance resiliency (high availability), with logins load balanced across both the cores (active-active)

• Cisco Fabric Manager
• Port security
• Cisco Fabric Device Management Interface (FDMI)
• Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) and Secure Shell (SSH)
• Cisco ISSU
• AAA and TACACS

George McCartney has warned his West Ham team-mates there is little room for error if they are to achieve automatic promotion.
The Hammers were beaten 1-0 at league leaders Southampton on Tuesday night - their first away defeat of the campaign - and the 30-year-old left-back admitted it is crucial they respond immediately when they travel to Brighton on Monday.
The Northern Ireland international told the club's official website: "Games like Tuesday you have to win if you want to win the league. You have to try to pull away from other teams. The longer you hang around third, fourth or fifth place, the harder it gets because games run out."
He added: "We have to put it behind us. We're all disappointed but we're all confident of finishing in first or second place come the end of the season.
"You try to go as long into the season not losing away from home or at home. We had good away form before Tuesday night so we'll get back on the training pitch and see where we went wrong."

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
The adoption fee for a dog is $45, for a cat $30. We pay for the spay/neuter of the animal (if it is not already done) thanks to generous donations. If an animal is not current on its rabies vaccination, an additional $15 will be charged and the adopter will be provided with a certificate to take to their veterinarian so the vaccination can be administered. If the adopter lives within Teton County, the animal will also be licensed before leaving the Shelter ($1 for fixed animals).
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Drink in the buttery playability of this Tele's deliciously thick U-profile neck. Bask in the radiance of its authentic vintage twang. If '50s Teles turn you on, Sweetwater's got your axe: Fender's American Vintage '52 Telecaster solidbody electric guitar.Fender American Vintage '52 Telecaster Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
- Meticulous vintage accuracy graces this guitar
- Beauty, tone, and playability are in the details
- The magic of Fender's American Vintage series
For the American Vintage '52 Telecaster, Fender tracked down several of the original '52s and exhaustively analyzed them to ensure a painstaking level of vintage accuracy. Every facet of the original instruments - including minute details such as curves, perimeters, radii and more - was examined, measured, evaluated, and ultimately incorporated into the American Vintage '52 Tele. What you see in this remarkable guitar is more than the sum of its parts. It's a highly playable, eminently musical-sounding re-creation of an iconic instrument that changed music forever.Beauty, tone, and playability
With Fender's American Vintage '52 Telecaster, there's genius in the details. This remarkable guitar's beauty, tone, and playability are no accident. It starts with the classic ash body, the simple single-ply black pickguard and a thin Fender Flash Coat nitrocellulose lacquer finish in classic Butterscotch Blonde. Then, there's the fat U-profile maple neck with rolled fingerboard edges and 21 vintage style frets, a sculpted headstock volute for enhanced first-position comfort, and vintage tuner spacing for true "straight string pull" over a bone nut. Of course, you also get a vintage-style bridge with three brass saddles, and knurled chrome dome Tele control knobs. If you're a fan of early Teles the Fender American Vintage '52 Telecaster is one drool-worthy axe.The magic of Fender's American Vintage series
Since its introduction in the early 1980s, Fender's American Vintage series has been the go-to source for the last word in original-era model year guitars. With today's American Vintage guitars, Fender has gone back to the drawing board with new features, new specs and the most fanatical level of vintage accuracy yet. They've restored original tooling dies, voiced new pickups, reformulated vintage colors, and more - based on actual vintage guitars. From its flawless vintage looks, to its impeccable tone and playing feel, there's pure magic in the Fender American Vintage '52 Telecaster!Fender American Vintage '52 Telecaster Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/6/2014 (1091 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Towns and rural municipalities in southwestern Manitoba are struggling to deal with severe amounts of overland flooding caused by weekend rain.
Environment Canada's severe weather centre estimated areas between Virden and Moosomin were hit with between 150 mm and 200 mm of rain from Friday to Sunday morning.
The RM of Pipestone was hit hard on Saturday night, causing the evacuation of roughly 30 residents in the village of Cromer starting at 3 a.m.
"We evacuated people and declared a state of emergency early (Sunday) morning," said Reeve Ross Tycoles. "It was not hard to do because much of the town was up anyways."
River levels were thought to be contained on Saturday evening, Tycoles said. RM officials believe something must have been damaged up stream to cause flooding so quickly in Cromer.
The RM also spent Sunday morning sandbagging in Reston in an attempt to keep flooding at a minimum.
"Almost all the roads throughout the RM have water flowing on or across them," Tycoles said.
Similar issues in the neighbouring RM of Wallace caused a full road closure throughout the municipality. Travel within the area was only advised in cases of emergency and RM staff cautioned residents from driving through water over roads.
Tundra Place in Virden has been set up as an evacuation centre for the RM of Wallace. Anyone needing to evacuate should call the RM office at 204-748-1239.
The excessive rainfall has caused both the RMs of Pipestone and Wallace to declare states of emergency. These are only two of many local emergencies that have been initiated in municipalities along the Saskatchewan border in the last few weeks.
In total, 24 municipalities across the province are under states of emergency, including the RMs of Arthur, Edward, Cornwallis, Virden, Miniota and the towns of Oak Lake, Roblin and Hartney. The province has also issued a high water advisory for all rivers and streams in the Parkland region including the Riding and Duck mountains, and Dauphin Lake basin.
A weekend of heavy rain has also caused problems in many areas of Westman.
"There is water as high as the trampoline," said Olga Wasteste of Sioux Valley Dakota Nation. "My family is being evacuated and small vehicles cannot be driven because of the currents."
Sioux Valley evacuated roughly 96 residents and several homes on the north side of the reserve were without power due to severe flooding issues. Wasteste
said she has lived in Sioux Valley all her life, but has never seen flooding of this magnitude.
Environment Canada predicted showers throughout today and with the risk of a late-afternoon thunderstorm, followed by rain on Tuesday.

I bought a used H&K USp 40 yesterday. It is a used gun but in excellent shape. i bought it from a gun shop and I don't know the round count in it. On all my other guns I know that the recoil spring has to be changed at 5000 rds. As for this H&K since I don't know the round count, i want to replace the recoil spring and start fresh. I looked at the recoil spring and (given my mechanical skills) it went over and above my head with this double spring package.
My question is divided into 2 parts:
a) how often the recoil spring must be changed
b) Where do i get a recoil spring and who would install it, would a gun smith be able to do that?
Thanks all H&K experts there.
