The 24 year-old beat his compatriot and pre-tournament favourite Ding Junhui 4-2 in a largely scrappy final where substantial breaks were at a premium.
That said, Ding did knock in a faultless 123 century break in the third to seemingly stamp his authority on the encounter at 2-1 - yet, that was to be the six-time ranking event winner's final flourish.
The first two frames had already been shared with Ding clearing to the pink to take a tight opener but then crucially missing a brown off the spot in the next to allow his opponent to draw level.
After his superb ton, Ding's strength suddenly appeared to collapse.
By this stage, he had been out playing for the guts of five hours straight having overcome India's Aditya Mehta, competing as an independent athlete, 4-2 in a three and a half hour slog.
By contrast, Cao needed only a couple of hours to dispatch of Afghan's Saleh Mohammad Mohammadi 4-1 in confident fashion and was therefore fully rested before the gold medal rubber.
From the fourth frame, as Ding's mental and physical approach began to fade, Cao simply remained consistent and punished the increasing amount of mistakes that were beginning to creep into his countryman's game.
Recently a quarter-finalist in the Wuxi Classic - his best performance in a ranking event to date - Cao compiled a succession of steady 40-plus breaks to complete the turnaround.
After levelling at 2-2 with a break of 48, a 42 in the following frame gave him the lead for the first time and it never looked like a decider was going to be likely when the man known as 'Eric' on the circuit opened with a 46 in the sixth, and what proved to be last, frame.
It rounded off a good week for the Chinese, who were always favoured to do well such is the considerable talent they possess.
Of the four snooker disciplines, three were claimed by the People's Republic with only the Women's 6-Reds eluding them.
Ding, China's no.1 for so many years now, will be disappointed to have let his lower ranked challenger come away with gold but Cao fully deserved the accolade as he continues to improve all the time.
Cao said: "I've been cueing well recently and getting confident as well. I'm not afraid of losing like before. The final was between two Chinese players so there was less pressure than the semi final."
Ding said: "Aditya Mehta has made big progress in recent years and he's a tough player. I spent a lot of energy beating him so wasn't ready for the final. Cao is energetic and accurate, he had control on the table today."

European stocks end mostly down
Europe's main stock markets mostly slid yesterday, with persistent concerns over the US "fiscal cliff" offsetting German approval of the latest instalment of aid for Greece.
London's FTSE 100 index of leading companies slid 0.06 per cent to 5,866.82 points and in Paris the CAC 40 dropped 0.33 per cent to 3,557.28.
In Frankfurt the DAX 30 managed to eke out a 0.06 per cent gain to 7,405.5 points. In Madrid the Ibex 35 index fell 0.49 per cent to 7,934.6 points, with shares in bailed-out Bankia plunging by over 25 per cent amid concerns over its restructuring.
The euro rallied to a one-week high at $1.3028, boosted by the German approval, before pulling back to $1.3006, up from $1.2978 in New York late on Thursday.
Gold prices firmed to $1,726 per ounce on the London bullion market, from $1,725 on Thursday.
"Germany's Bundestag approved Greece's latest rescue deal with a majority, bolstering the tone somewhat ..." said Ishaq Siddiqi, analyst at ETX Capital trading group.
"That said, persisting worries about the fiscal cliff in the US pressures a sensitive market. Progress, or the lack of it, over US lawmakers reaching a deal dominates headlines and keeps the bulls and the bears fighting for control over direction."
Germany's parliament yesterday voted 473 to 100, with 11 abstentions, to approve €43.7 billion in international aid for Greece as it battles against bankruptcy.
In company news, shares in Metro slipped 0.28 per cent to €21.53 after the German retailer agreed to sell its Real supermarket unit in Poland, Rumania, Russia and Ukraine to French rival Auchan for €1.1 billion. The deal covers 91 hypermarkets in the four countries, where Real generated sales of €2.6 billion in 2011 and employs a workforce of 20,000.
In London, Royal Bank of Scotland shares slid 1.27 per cent to 295.20 pence after the lender, which is 81 per cent owned by the taxpayer, announced that the sale of its Indian retail and commercial activities to HSBC had lapsed. It would seek to wind down the Indian operations.
Asian markets mostly climbed on Thursday data showing the US economy grew more than first expected in the third quarter.
Tokyo closed 0.48 per cent higher, Sydney ended up 0.63 per cent, but Seoul finished 0.10 per cent lower.
Hong Kong closed 0.49 per cent higher while Shanghai was up 0.85 per cent.
In the US, investors were increasingly nervous about the approaching fiscal cliff of spending cuts and tax rises, which will be triggered on January 1 unless a cross-party deal is brokered.
"With a month to go before the US is due to topple over the fiscal cliff – $650 billion of spending cuts and tax hikes promising a return to recession – the onus is on the politicians to move the debate on and come up with a deal," said ING bank economist James Knightley.
"We continue to hear warm words, but there is still a sense that both sides are refusing to budge on several issues. Consequently, we expect this to go to the wire."
US stocks slid in midday trade amid signs that the negotiations are going nowhere. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.15 per cent to 13,002.43 points.
The S&P 500 slid 0.15 per cent to 1,413.84 points, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.28 per cent at 3,003.71 points.

* FTSEurofirst 300 down 0.4 percent * AstraZeneca down sharply, warns of tough year ahead * Royal Dutch Shell knocked by results By Tricia Wright LONDON, Jan 31 (Reuters) - European shares fell on Thursday as investors waded through a stack of earnings reports, with disappointing results from heavyweights AstraZeneca and Royal Dutch Shell taking their toll on market sentiment. The FTSEurofirst 300 was 0.4 percent weaker at 1,166.31 by 1233 GMT, extending Wednesday's 0.6 percent drop, although the index remains on track to round off January in solid fashion with a near 3 percent rise for the month. The market may have been knocked over the last couple of days, but investors reckoned any corrections should be considered short-term, and that the rally which has hoisted the index to near two-year highs has further to run. "With markets looking overbought in the short term I would expect to see a few sharp dips along the way," Mike McCudden, head of derivatives at stockbroker Interactive Investor, said. "I wouldn't be surprised to see the FTSEurofirst 300 tick marginally higher in February as the general economic picture continues to improve." On the first big day of the European earnings season, AstraZeneca and Royal Dutch Shell were left nursing respective falls of 5.1 percent and 1.8 percent, with the pair accounting for around a fifth of the index's drop. AstraZeneca, Britain's second biggest drugmaker, said it faced a tough 2013, with earnings set to decline "significantly more than revenue" as operating costs rise. "Unlike rivals, Astra does not enjoy the cushion of alternative revenue streams such as consumer healthcare, with the group currently providing a major play on scientific development and innovation," Keith Bowman, analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown Stockbrokers, said in a note. "Austerity and government efforts to curb health spending are not helping, whilst the general lack of optimism surrounding its developmental pipeline and already reduced cost structure potentially dampen its attractiveness as a takeover target." Trading volume in AstraZeneca was robust, at 203 percent of its 90-day daily average, against the FTSEurofirst 300 on 53 percent of its average. Meanwhile, oil major Royal Dutch Shell's fourth-quarter results significantly undershot expectations. "Overall, the Q4 results are slightly disappointing but medium-term growth targets are reconfirmed. We expect downward revisions to our forecasts for 2013 (currently EPS 477 cents) and will review our 'hold' recommendation after considering today's disclosures," Liberum Capital said in a note. The broker noted that the shares offer a yield of about 4.8 percent and "robust if unexciting" growth prospects, retaining its view that Shell remains attractive relative to BP. Among brighter spots, Ericcson jumped 9.1 percent on higher-than expected fourth-quarter core profit and revenue growth, raising hopes the world's top mobile telecom gear maker is beginning to shake off the global downturn. Trading volume in Ericcson stood at 243 percent of its 90-day daily average. While the earnings releases from AstraZeneca and Royal Dutch Shell may have darkened the mood on Thursday, Standard Life's Andrew Milligan noted that factors affecting pharma and oil are very different from those impacting the broader stock market. "Can we press higher? We certainly can - as long as we get an absence of major bad news and as long as companies continue to support investor hopes by being able to demonstrate that they've got some helpful cash to deliver back in dividends, share buybacks, or investment," said Milligan, head of global strategy at Standard Life Investments, which has 163.4 billion pounds ($258.1 billion) of assets under management.

It has the world's fastest growing economy, with millions moving to the country's rapidly expanding cities.
As part of the BBC's China Week, BBC World Service spoke to some of the new generation of Chinese experiencing rapid change.
Chen Luyu
With more than 350m television sets, China is probably the world's largest television audience.
The propaganda chiefs may still dictate news content, but when it comes to entertainment, the industry is in the grip of a television revolution - where now the audience is king.
I remember when I was five or six years old - I lived in Beijing at that time - and there were only two television networks, CCTV and BTV.
The programming was very boring, there were maybe only three hours of programmes every day. But I remember at that time it was very exciting for us kids.
Every night we all went to the home of someone who had a television set, because at that time for someone to own a TV was a huge luxury thing.
I think the outside world has always had a huge misconception about politics. They think everything about China is political, or we Chinese people are really interested in politics. Actually that's not the case.
My show is about personal experiences, it's about interesting people, it's about interesting stories.
It's not about politics. My viewers don't want to listen to things like that, so I don't want to do shows like that.
It's not because of political reasons, it's because of what my viewers want.
Right now we Chinese people are very interested in having a peaceful, stable, better life. That's what the government wants, that's what I want.
I have never felt any [political] pressure. When you are doing a show, thousands of people hear what you have to say. You have to use that right wisely.
You should say things of benefit to the country. I probably have that discipline in me. Most of the people who work in the Chinese television industry have that discipline.
That is not something that is imposed on us, it is something we were born with.
I don't see there's a government line or my line. They are probably the same.

Council rejects fines for failing to shovel
Saskatoon city council defeated a proposal to fine property owners for failing to clear their sidewalks.
CTV Saskatoon
Published Tuesday, January 8, 2013 6:58AM CST
Last Updated Tuesday, January 8, 2013 9:41AM CST
A public backlash over a plan to fine Saskatoon property owners for failing to shovel their sidewalks has sent the proposal down to defeat.
At its meeting Monday night councillors defeated a proposal to increase enforcement and hand out tickets to those who fail to comply with a bylaw that requires property owners to clear their sidewalks.
Councillors chose to not to approve the measure after public criticism of the idea combined with complaints about the city's own snow removal system.
Coun. Ann Iwanchuck is asking administration to report on options and costs for a comprehensive snow removal system, including clearing sidewalks and lowering the requirement for when ruts in the road are graded.
Iwanchuck has asked the report be tabled in time for 2014 budget deliberations, meaning the current system will not change for this year.

A filmmaker in Toronto is seeking "fun characters" involved in the fisheries for a new reality show.
Think of one of the most popular trending shows on TV that features a family full of characters manufacturing duck calls.
If you know a similar family in Nova Scotia involved in the distribution side of fisheries, Andre Doucet wants to hear about them.
Doucet works with production companies in various roles - from producer, director, camera or editor, depending on the project.
His production company is casting across Nova Scotia in search of talent for a new reality show.
"I'm looking to put together a 'duck dynasty' style show with an East Coast flavor," he said.
He'd like to find a family-run business within the fisheries that has different elements.
A distribution plant would be ideal for his purposes.
"It would be the center of everything with sub-characters (stories) with the fisherman, truckers, buyers, etc.," he said.
"The south shore is full of fun characters and I'm looking to find the right fit that would make a show East Coasters could be proud of."
Doucet says he's open to talking to anyone who has a unique business or story.
Rather than hold auditions he wants to try to find and talk with people on the phone first.
"If I can find the right fit then I'll fly down to meet them in person," he said.
Liverpool born and raised, he still has family and friends on the South Shore.
He lived in Halifax for five years selling for Hillcrest Volkswagen and moved to Toronto to study film production at the Toronto Film School seven years ago.
As a camera operator he has worked for shows like Campus PD, Ex Wives Rock, Building Bryks and Super Groups.
Learning from each production, Doucet began developing concepts and in 2012 Travel Channel US commissioned two episodes of his concept titled 'I Bet My Life.' He worked as producer on these episodes, filming in Monaco and Aruba.
"I would love to develop something out of N.S.," he said.
To contact Doucet, visit his website or email email@example.com

Christendom Leads the March for Life
January 26, 2012
Name: Lisa Holdsworth
Age: 22
Year: Senior
From: Calgary, AB, Canada
Major: Philosophy
Hobbies: I love singing, dancing, hiking, and skiing—anything that involves music or being outside. I also like traveling and seeking out beautiful things in different places.
Who's your favorite professor or class? My favorite professor is Dr. Steven Snyder. His is a humble genius, who truly loves philosophy. His kindness and dedication to the students he teaches is outstanding.
What extra-curricular activities do you participate in? I am in the choir, art club, and Cincinnatus book study. The choir makes me come alive—I love it. The art club is challenging and the book study is very interesting.
What is your favorite thing about Christendom? The people and the spiritual life. I suppose that's the two things, but it is so good to learn among people who are loving, joyful, and striving to love God... helped by awesome chaplains.
Why did you choose Christendom? I transferred into Christendom from a Catholic college in Canada. I could have chosen any number of schools, but I chose Christendom because I wanted to finish my philosophy degree on the same solid foundation in which it had begun and have the opportunity for daily Mass.
What surprises you the most about Christendom? How much I am enjoying it.
What are your plans after graduation? Take a year off, then Graduate School for philosophy (squeeze in adventures and missionary work), and then teach.
Any parting words of advice for a prospective student? Come!
The first Pub Night of the semester took place on the Monday evening before classes started to welcome the students back to campus and get them excited for the new semester. Students got to reunite with their friends after break and enjoy a relaxed night with food and beverages.
"Pub Night was the perfect way to get back in the school mood after Christmas break," Junior Sara Federico said. "It was especially nice to catch up with everybody after coming back from Rome."
Seniors Tim Ginski, Fran Dewey, Catherine Marra (yay!), and Freshman Peter Romanchuk exchange Christmas break stories.
Christendom College welcomed author Fr. Brett Brannen from the diocese of Savannah, Georgia, on Wednesday evening, January 18, to speak to the students and faculty on the topic of "fraternal charity." Fr. Brannen's talk was very encouraging, and he gave many concrete examples of how we, as members of the Christendom community, are to love one another, especially those who we find the most difficult to love.
"I was very inspired by Fr. Brannen's words," Sophomore Jon Fioramonti said. "I thought he made a lot of important and bold statements, and I loved how applicable his talk was to my life."
This moving talk can be downloaded at Christendom on iTunes U.
On January 23, the entire student body of Christendom College, including members of the faculty and staff, led hundreds of thousands in protesting abortion at the 39th Annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. Select students were given the honor of carrying the lead March for Life banner as well as the official March for Life flags. This was the fourth time in the college's 34 year history that it had been selected to lead the walk down Constitution Avenue to the Supreme Court.
"It was an honor and so exciting," said Sophomore Rebecca Deucher, one of the students given the opportunity to carry the lead banner. "Marching at the beginning gave you a sense of the order and unity of the movement—you felt like you were the March for Life."
Deucher's brother, Peter, a freshman who carried one of the official flags, felt the same sense of unity.
"We felt like a phalanx of prayer," he said. "We were praying the rosary or singing hymns and it really reinforced our unity and our mission. We're all there for one thing. The challenge for us now is to continue leading today and tomorrow in the fight for the unborn—march at the front of the line."

In the rain and at the Rally before the start of the March, students heard from March for Life Founder Miss Nellie Gray, House Speaker John Boehner, Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ), and others.
Freshman Peter Foeckler is proud and excited to be carrying one of the March for Life flags.
Starting the March.
Never mind the distorted numbers and blackout by the liberal media. The March is huge. There are hundreds of thousands of pro-lifers of which the overwhelming majority are young people.
Christendom students "Stand for Life."
March for Life 2012: Christendom Leads the Way
Friday night, the Chester-Belloc room in Regina Coeli was bustling with activity, as the Fall 2011 "Romers" held a Nutella Party. The party's main purpose was to introduce the Fall 2011 Rome students to the new freshman, who most of the Rome students have never met. The Rome students made sure to give the freshmen, and all who attended, a proper "taste" of Rome by providing Nutella, Biscotti, and Espressos.
The Rome students wore shirts that they designed and ordered, following their Rome experience. On the shirts were the Rome students' "sound off" numbers, and the nicknames each student acquired as they were overseas. The freshmen, and all else who attended, had a great time, and enjoyed welcoming the students back to Christendom campus, and home sweet home!
College Chaplain Fr. Donald Planty loves his Nutella.
The Fall 2011 Romers miss the Eternal City but are happy to be back home.
Students were officially welcomed back on campus with a casual, sports-themed dance last Saturday. Students wore their favorite sports team's apparel, or else dressed up as different athletes.
"The sports theme was a blast, and I especially loved how some people got really creative with the theme by dressing in crazy costumes," Junior Elise Nodar said. "Also, the wings were delicious and I loved all the fun sports decorations!"
The casual, fun atmosphere resulted in the perfect dance to get everyone excited about the new semester. There were even a few friendly competitions set up by SAC between groups of girls and guys to add some excitement to the night.
Sophomore Marisa DePalma enjoys a dance with Junior Tim McPhee.
Seniors/Sophomores show the toughness that won them the Powder-Puff victory.
A first time for everything: Senior Lindsay Mershon dances with a hockey player, Senior Pat Stein.
Even the Irish Rugby Team made an appearance.
Sunday night, the Chester-Belloc Debate Society held their first debate of the semester, titled, "The Mass Media Undermines A Free Society." The debate was well attended, and many new voices were heard on the floor.
After a vigorous evening of debating, the body voted, and there were 6 votes pro, 25 con, and 6 abstentions. The Chester-Belloc Debate Society warmly welcomes all to attend their debates. The next debate will be held on Sunday, January 29, in the Chester-Belloc Hall in Regina Coeli. They will be debating the resolution, "America Needs Ron Paul."
Senior Chris Foeckler makes his case.
Pro-Life Leaders Year-round
One of the great things about Christendom College is its active pro-life movements. Just this past week, the students of Christendom College led the national March for Life in Washington D.C., but Christendom students remain active in pro-life work all year long. There are several active pro-life groups on campus, such as "Shield of Roses," "Students for Life," and those students that volunteer at the Pregnancy Center in Front Royal.
Junior Sara Federico has been a member of Shield of Roses since her freshman year.
"We go to the DC Planned Parenthood every Saturday morning to pray for the end of abortion, for the healing of all women hurt by abortion, and for the conversions of those who assist in abortions, especially those impacted by this specific clinic," she says.
Federico says that their most powerful tool is prayer, and is a vital part to a group dedicated to "restoring all things in Christ." She believes that their witness as young people is absolutely critical and essential for all Christendom students, because it enables students to refocus after a week intense studies as to why they are at Christendom.
"Shield allows us to go beyond ourselves and recognize our duty to America to be an informed witness and a good example," Federico says. "It reminds us of our mission to be ambassadors of Christ in the modern world."
Junior Christopher Roberts, another long time member, encourages his fellow students to go to Shield of Roses on a regular basis.
"I joined Shield because I thought that God was calling me to participate in praying for and counseling pregnant women in danger of having abortions," he says. "It's a great way to get involved in the pro-life cause. We always need more members!"
Students for Life is another organization in which students actively work for the pro-life cause through activism such as literature drops for pro-life candidates, fundraisers for the local crisis pregnancy center, or assisting the efforts of Students for Life of America or National Right to Life.
"Students for Life raises awareness and funding through a multitude of activities including bake sales, penny wars, political literature drops," says Senior Christine Nussio, secretary for Students for Life. "We have a highly successful record of getting the entire campus involved in pro-life events."
At the Front Royal Pregnancy Center, students volunteer, normally on a weekly basis, and are trained to provide pregnancy tests, peer counseling, references, and other assistance to women and their children in need. Services are provided free of charge in order to be able to help the many low-income women in the Front Royal area.
"I always encourage other students to get involved as a way to live their faith in action," says Frances Dewey, a Senior who organizes the volunteers for the Pregnancy Center. "It's one thing to say you're pro-life and you believe everything the Church teaches; it's another level of courage entirely to actually get out there and give that truth to the women who need it most.
Dewey say that she sees the Christian pro-life effort as working on three basic levels: the spiritual, political/activism, and personal.
"I'm proud of the students at my school for being involved with all three," she says. "Shield of Roses is a beautiful witness to the necessity and effectiveness of prayer in the movement, and Students for Life does an excellent job of raising awareness and bringing life issues to the table in a political setting. But at the heart of the pro-life movement is obviously the truth that each individual person is infinitely valuable. I think that truth is particularly clear in the work done by the crisis pregnancy counselors. We are there for each woman who comes to us simply because of who she is. It really does bear witness on a concrete level to the dignity and value of each and every human person."
Christendom's motto is "To Restore All Things in Christ," and Christendom's Pro-Life organizations truly strive to do just that. They strive to show their fellow students, fellow Catholics, and the world the sanctity of life.
Tomorrow's pro-life leaders are here today.
Christendom Basketball Back In Action
Last night the Christendom basketball season resumed following a six-week break and will feature a three busy weeks before the season ends on February 18.
This semester, an ever-changing roster hits the Crusaders who get freshman Joe Walsh on the court for the first since recovering from an ACL tear this past June. The Crusaders also welcome back Tim Vander Woude. However, the Crusaders lost junior Mark Hepler, due to the Junior Semester in Rome program, and will lose 4 more players within the next few weeks.
The men's team got back in action by hosting Southern Virginia University from Buena Vista, Va. The Crusaders suffered a hard loss to the Knights back in the fall semester and were looking to revenge the loss.
The Knights raced out to an early lead as the Crusaders adjusted to playing with the revamped lineup. Once the Crusaders settled in, they made a furious rally led by Joe Walsh who scored 17 points in the first half. Leading by one at the start of the second half, the Knights sunk several fast hitting three-pointers and got points on fast breaks against the Crusaders.
The home team couldn't find an answer to the speed of Southern Virginia, as the Knights pulled away from the Crusaders in the closing minutes to a final score of 57-77. Brendan Krebs led the team with 5 assists while Brian Fox added 6 points and 7 rebounds. The men's team is back in action on Saturday at Davis College in Johnson City, NY for a Shenandoah Chesapeake Conference match at 1pm.
The Lady Crusaders get back in action tonight as they host the Nittany Lions of Penn State Mont Alto at 6:30pm in Crusader Gymnasium. After a tough first semester the Lady Crusaders look to have a strong finish as they go for their second consecutive winning season.
Sophomore Brendan McCrum flies over the Knights.
Q. Is Christendom a Great Books program? And what is a Great Books program anyway?
A: Some people think we offer a Great Books Program, but, in fact, we do not. A Great Books Program, from what I can tell, is one which studies a certain limited number of primary texts in a Socratic or discussion type forum. No textbooks or secondary sources are used in a Great Books program and all students study the exact same subjects and receive one degree, a BA in Liberal Arts, without having choices of majors. Here's what our friend, Wiki, has to say about it.
Christendom would be categorized as offering a classical liberal arts education. We rely heavily on many of the exact same primary texts read in a Great Books program, but we also use many secondary sources to gain deeper understanding of the subject matter. Additionally, we rely heavily on the great education and knowledge of our esteemed faculty. All of them have read more on the subjects that they teach than probably the whole student body put together. We rely on their insights into their subject matter and want to hear what they think about this or that topic in their area of expertise, as opposed to relying on the insights of college-aged students (which happens quite often in a Great Books Program, I am told).
Also, the vast majority of our classes are lecture format (with an average class size of around 18-22 students) with students having the ability to ask questions and make comments during class. Although we do have a very strong core curriculum which lasts two and a half years, following the completion of the core, students are given the opportunity to delve deeper into one of six areas of study and major in Theology, Philosophy, English Language and Literature, Classics, Political Science, or History.
Additionally, most Great Books programs do not offer history as part of their curriculum because generally, in order to do an in-depth survey of history, textbooks are used. Here at Christendom, we rely heavily on College founder Dr. Warren Carroll's History of Christendom series of books. Of course, there are other differences, but these are the ones I think may be easiest understood. I hope that this clarifies a couple of the differences between a Great Books Program and what Christendom offers. Here is our core curriculum at a glance.
Here is an interesting (although a little long) look at the idea of studying the Great Books by a former University of Dallas professor named Frederick D. Wilhelmsen. Although I do not necessarily agree with all that he says, I do think he has some pretty valid points. This is simply my opinion, and does not reflect the views of Christendom College….just saying.

glock 21 SF magazine
Somebody help me please. I have a gen3 21 SF, and I am looking to buy a third magazine. Will any 21 magazine fit this pistol, or do I need to be more specific? Thanks everyone.
I believe you have to have an SF mag. Regular G21 won't fit - if I'm not mistaken
Gen4 21 magazines will work in any generation 21 or 21SF.
Gen3 21 magazines will work in any Gen1-3 21 or 21SF.
Gen3 21 magazines will work in the Gen4 21 if you keep the magazine release on the left side of the frame.
SF mags are the same as regular mags
Just keep in mind that the SF frame is only smaller front to back, that is the reach to the trigger is less than a regular frame Glock. Therefore, all mags made for the regular frame guns will fit the SF frame guns.

TOP STORY >>North Belt gets route, no funding
Leader senior staff writer
At least two members of the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department disagree on whether the second phase of the North Belt Freeway should be financed with tolls, since no highway money is available right now for the project.
Because no money has been allocated for construction, Highway Commissioner Carl Rosenbaum has said often he favors designing it as a toll road, to pay for itself and speed up construction.
Highway commissioner Cliff Hoofman of North Little Rock said Friday that he didnt believe it was feasible to pay for the remaining sections by tolling them.
Im committed to see that we build the (remainder) if at all possible during my term on the commission, Hoofman said.
Hoofman was just appointed by Gov. Mike Beebe to a 10-year term on the commission.
He said he believes the state would have to make existing portions of I-440 into toll roads all the way to the airport to make it feasible.
The 12.5-mile project is 20 years behind schedule and still lacks funding for at least five years. But despite last-ditch opposition by a handful of angry homeowners, the Metroplan board of directors Wednesday approved the state Highway and Transportation Departments preferred alignment for the so-called Sherwood corridor of the North Belt Freeway.
The board is made up of county judges and mayors in central Arkansas or their appointees and a member of the state Highway Department. Pulaski County Judge Buddy Villines voted against the plan.
Design work and purchase of some important right-of-way could begin by the end of the year, but no money is available to begin construction at least through 2011, according to Glenn Bolick, department spokesman.
The Sherwood City Council has approved a resolution supporting the proposed route and confirming that it conforms to both the citys master street plan and master land-use plans, thus clearing the way for the Metroplan development.
The North Belt Loop, a three-decades-old concept, has suffered setbacks through the years over the issue of the Sherwood alignment. It is intended to complete a northern loop around Little Rock to alleviate some congestion, primarily on I-40. It will be designated when complete as I-440.
The completed section runs from I-40 near Prothro Junction to Hwy. 67-167 in south Jacksonville.
When finished, it will continue through north Sherwood and Camp Robinson and meet up with I-40 and I-430 near Crystal Hill at an estimated cost of about $200 million twice the original estimated cost of the entire project. Language in the current environmental-impact statement would allow construction of portions of the loop, according to Jim McKenzie, executive director of Metroplan. That means that as money becomes available, sections of the alignment could be built between Hwy. 67-167 and Hwy.107, for instance, or between Hwy. 340 and Hwy. 365 to help alleviate congestion.
Several residents of the Kellogg Road area or North Lake subdivision, many of them retired and some with disabilities, asked the board not to approve the alignment, which would either run through or near their homes.
But in the end, the 30-year-old project was approved by voice vote with Pulaski County Judge Villines and one or two other board members registering dissent.
Opponents also said they had gathered signatures of about 210 area residents opposed to the route. Villines has been supportive of the project over the years, but said he voted no Wednesday on the alignment to represent my constituents in north Pulaski County.
Thats probably the best alignment they can come up with, said Villines, but I represent the unincorporated part of the county and they needed someone to express their feelings. I represent them.
Metroplans approval constituted a step weve never had before, an important step, according to Glenn Bolick, a Highway Department spokesman.
Still required is a record of decision by the Federal Highway Administration, which could be approved by the end of this year, according to Steve Mitchell, the Highway Departments representative on the board. Then the department will begin a more detailed survey. The alignment could shift slightly, which is of little importance to most county residents, but could be of great importance to local homeowners, who arent even sure whether or not their homes will be taken for the project.
Mitchell said that once there is a design, there would be an additional public hearing. Theres a lot of constraints, said Mitchell, including floodways, flood plains, geographical feature and others.
My hope is that once they are through with final design, at least all the right of way will be procured and they will cement the route and relieve some of the uncertainty in their lives, said Metroplans McKenzie.
Jay Whisker, Jacksonville director of administration, said he was concerned that the preferred alignment kept creeping further north and that it might interfere with residents and development at the North Lakes subdivision.
But Jacksonvilles position has always been one of strong support for the North Belt Freeway, and he did vote to approve the alignment. Sherwood resient Wayne Riffle said the city had pushed the alignment north, out of city limits. Now, we cant make improvements, we cant sellthe process is holding us hostage, he said. Youre destroying our neighborhood.
His wife Bobby has a disability that prevents her from talking at normal volume, she said, and her daughter, who is immobile, can barely whisper. She expressed concern that with an interstate running past their house, she would be unable to hear her daughter, even when in distress.
Karen Engle lives across the street from the Riffles. She said she understands progress and doesnt want to stand in the way, but she wants fair value for her home and wants to know as soon as possible the exact routewhether it would take her home or render it nearly worthless. I cant sell my home, she said. People wont buy (not knowing), she said. I need help with this.
Kellogg Road residents were assured that there would not be an interchange taking and discharging more traffic onto their road.
I put a lot of money and sweat into building my home, said Rudy Ealy, who has lived at the west end of Mine Road since 1992. He bought his land with assurances that the North Belt would run far south of him, approximately in the east-west Hwy. 107 corridor.
I need to know that you are good for your word. He pointed out that Sherwoods 50-year plan affects him even though he lives outside they city. Thats crazy, he said.
He said officials had been disingenuous from the beginning.

Roman pottery, like any piece of earthenware which may be found buried in the ground, can be analysed according to a number of very basic features:
Stamps - stamps, if present, are the most reliable source of information about origin. Stamps also allow a clearer understanding of the geographic provenance and distribution of pottery styles. The stamp would normally be placed on the underside of the pot and give the name of the owner of the pottery, ie the manufacturer. The image to the right shows an example of Roman pottery stamp.
Surface decoration - decoration is heavily driven by local tastes and is therefore a good indicator of provenance. The surface decoration of Roman pottery was more inclined towards relief work, coloured slips, finishes and glazing. The romans were less inclined towards the intricate painting of Greek and Etruscan vases
Shape and form - these are generally driven by regional preferences, although strong demand could actually attract copy-cat potters. Although not strictly Roman, an interesting example is the Etruscan city of Vulci in central Italy, where it is said that more Greek pottery has been found than in the whole of Greece (possibly an exageration). Many exquisite pieces of "Greek" pottery seem to have been manufactured locally, often by immigrant Greek potters.
The material itself, type of clay. Clay would usually be sourced, refined and worked locally. Analysis of the material gives an idea of possible provenance or at least an indication of whether the piece was manufactured locally or not. The clay and its degree of refinement, as well as the manner of firing, define the final texture and colour of the pot.
Roman pottery (earthenware) can be generally split into three main areas of use and decoration:
Fineware pottery was regarded as being less prestigious or luxurious by Roman civilization than it had been by the Greeks and Etruscans. In fact we don't see the same level of trade of those famous Greek black and red figure vases which the Etruscans were so fond of. Nor of the fine Etruscan black "Bucchero" wares which which were so fine and resilient that they rang almost like metal when flicked with a finger. The reason for this decline was partly driven by taste but also by the increasing wealth in late republican Rome which allowed a growing market for extremely fine silver and glass wares with highly elaborate relief work.
This was particularly the case in Rome itself, where wealth grew to the highest level. The fine ware pottery market remained stronger in other parts of the empire and with time Gaul became an important and artistically influential production centre.
The range of fineware pottery shapes is obviously dictated by its use: as special show case pieces, as vessels for cosmetics or to be used on special occasions and dinners. Of course, glass and silver were particularly suited to these areas of luxury merchandise just as they are today. The influx of glass and silver ware negatively impacted the range of fineware pottery and the range of shape and form. In fact there is evidence of shapes which evolved as a consequence of glass-making which were then copied by the potters. For example there's a second century pear-shaped jug with relief work in the British Museum which is extremely similar to earlier first century glass work. Another example of glass making influence on pottery includes a faceted surface rather like cut glass facets on goblets and round vessels. This tendency more or less dates to the fourth century.
As a result of this, the level of roman fine ware pottery was relatively basic with its prestige eroded by a tendency for mass production. Painted artwork on fineware pottery was reduced to geometric patterns and designs. The appeal of "fine ware" was limited to craftsmanship, shape and surface texture.
A possible exception to this is what is known as Arretine work, made in potteries at present day Arezzo, near Florence in central Italy. In this case the figurative painting on the pottery surface was replaced with actual sculptural relief work which could be stamped in moulds and applied to the surface of the vase before painting and firing.
Aretine roman pottery also known as "terra sigillata" provides a good example of the marriage of Greek stylistic influence with existing craftsmanship and it reached its greatest period of popularity during the age of Augustus. The Greek naturalistic approach to art was applied to vase forms and colours which were closer to Italic taste and manufactured with a mould.
In contrast to the Greek love for a black glaze, which allowed the artist to reserve the natural red ground as a base colour for expressive artwork and figures, the Romans developed a preference for a unified red, shiny, glaze which lent itself well to the relief figure decorations.
Arretine pottery was widely appreciated across the Mediterranean and was imitated in pottery centres across Italy, Asia Minor and Gaul, so much so that its production more or less shifted to Gaul.
On a more modern note: The industrial revolution of the 19th century allowed the Arretine result to be copied and mass-produced in England by potters such as Wedgewood. It remains extremely popular even today.
The work of southern Gaul imitated and took over the Arretine style and by the middle of the first century made it its own. Gaulish produce was generally heavier and with a higher gloss finish. Some fifty years later Gaulish work was superceded by the work of north African potteries which also produced red wares although the finish was generally less glossy or even matt. The general term for it is "African Red Slip" or "ARS".
Roman coarseware was just that: coarse. The intended use of this type of pottery was to be found in everyday needs, especially in cookery. Given the use it was put to and its tendency to chip and break in the kitchen meant that it was produced cheaply and in greater volumes.
This meant that the clay used was less refined and included rougher (coarse!) inclusions and impurities. The walls would tend to be thicker in order to make the wares more resistant to kitchen use. From a materials point of view it is likely that the inclusions would make the wares more likely to break and therefore also contributing to a need for greater thickness of clay.
Firing was less careful and generally done in a closed furnace, which would tend to consume less fuel. The "reducing" atmosphere in these ovens ie smoky and short of oxygen, tended to make the baked clay go brown/black in colour. Darker patches on the earthenware surface would also arise where one pot touched another in the furnace.
The general size, weight, finish and shape of coarse ware was strongly driven by the utensil's intended use. Pots for storage, cooking, eating and so on all had their particularities. A rough grain surface on a plate intended for semi-liquid poultices would hardly be impermeable and certainly not easy to clean! A "slip" would generally be used to provide a smoother finish when required.
I think we all know what an amphora looks like and plenty of them have been found under the sea in the remains of cargo holds of sunken ships. Superficially we would tend to classify roman amphorae in a single class of shape which allowed them to be easily stacked in a ship's hold (which wasn't square!).
In reality, amphoras have a large variety of shapes and sizes. The different shapes and features on amphoras were strongly tied to location of manufacture, type of produce to be carried and the year(s) of manufacture. Just to give a feel for what I mean: a "Haltern 70" is not a type of gun but a type of amphora, produced in Spain. It is tall and cylindrical with a collared rim, a spike at the bottom and grooved handles. The surface texture is rough. A "Dressel" amphora on the other hand... You get the picture.
The systematic study of shape and the makers' stamps has helped archaeologists to define a clear picture of mercantile trade routes. In Rome itself there is a whole hill called "Testaccio" entirely made up of the millions of shards of amphoras used to import goods. Given the difficulty of eliminating earthenware waste dedicated workmen were employed to lay the shards in progressive layers. Monte Testaccio is now covered in trees and parkland but various areas have been excavated and "revisited" as veritable geological layers of mercantile history.
We have collected further information and images about Roman Amphoras on a separate dedicated page.
The manufacture of roman pottery was much the same as that of other civilisations and in fact pretty much the same as it is today.
roman pottery was made by one of four methods. Methods could also be combined.
Roman pottery lacked the intricate painterly decoration loved by the Greeks and Etruscans. The most common form of decoration was through a simple "slip" painted over the surface of the pot before firing.
A slip is a thin watery slurry of refined clay which fills and smoothes over any coarse gaps in the pot's surface. The benefit is great both aesthetically and in terms of practicality given that the pot is rendered more impermeable and easier to clean.
The slip could be rubbed over with bone or wood so as to align the particles into an even smoother burnished surface or polished to a glossy shine by rubbing it with a fine abrasive such as ash. The slip itself could be made of a different type of clay so as to give a different colour although excessive differences in the material's properties could lead to cracking or peeling of the surface.
Glazing wasn't very frequent, in fact it is quite rare, but it could give some extremely attractive effects and colours which had a vitreous (glass-like) appearance. The technique wasn't a roman invention and in fact it is likely to have pre-dated roman civilisation. It was particularly popular in the 1st century BC.
The colours tended to be either blue-green or light honey brown although other colours could also be achieved. The technique relied on combining metals such as silver or copper with lead salts, which provide a melting point low enough to be reached in the firing oven.
These powders could be sprinkled onto the surface of the pottery or even suspended in water and painted on. Copper gives a strong green. Ferrous compounds tend to go red or brown. The method of firing is important and the result is affected by temperature and amount of oxygen present in the oven.
Painted pottery wasn't a big hit with the Romans and painted decoration tended to be restricted to geometric patterns, lines and dots applied in basic earth colours. The type of pottery to which this was applied would tend to have been fine ware or in any case to wares manufactured with refined clay capable of giving a sufficiently smooth surface.
At its most basic, relief work could be much the same as we seen on tribal African wares nowadays: with various geometric patterns or bumps or grooves and so on. At its best, the Romans had a strong taste for a figurative shallow relief which might either be made with a mould and applied to the surface of the pot or alternatively which could be drawn directly onto the surface by squirting a semi-thick clay through a nozel, a little like toothpaste.
Glass blowing was developed around the first century BC and soon spread to other parts of the Roman world. Glass vessels remained a luxury item until the second and third centuries AD by which time they had become relatively common and of everyday use.
The Romans developed the art of glass making to an extremely high level of craftsmanship. Before that glasswork depended on an opaque translucent material known as "glass paste". During the Roman epoch the purity of glass was greatly improved and the inclusion of definite metal impurities allowed manipulation of its colour and translucency. This material was used to make wares of different shapes and sizes with relief sculpture in the classical style.
This form of art was extended to the production of true art works in the form of glass tablets with sculptural relief of figures and mythological events much in the same vein of cameo work done on shells or Aretine pottery ware.
Further extensive information regarding Roman Glass and pottery has been collected on a dedicated page about Roman glassware.

Spotlighting the stark divide in Washington 18 months from the presidential election and the pitched battle to raise the debt ceiling, Democrats and Republicans both splintered over the 2011 budget deal to cut $US38.5 billion worth of appropriations for the rest of the fiscal year to September 30.
The bill – to implement a temporary ceasefire in hostilities on the overdue 2011 budget – passed by 260 votes to 167 in the House of Representatives and 81 votes to 19 in the Senate. The agreement clears the way for more momentous and bruising battles over raising the $US14.3 trillion debt ceiling – it will be reached in mid-May and the Treasury will run out of tricks to fund government and pay interest in early July – and over the 2012 budget, on which President
In the House, 59 Republicans and 108 Democrats voted against the budget bill, despite the central role of Republican House Speaker
Republican dissenters said it fell too far short of the $US61 billion of cuts Tea Party and Republican deficit hawks had demanded.
Democrat dissenters in the House included senior lawmakers who drove key parts of Mr Obama's legislative program in his first two years, such as former speaker
Meanwhile, another batch of disappointing data has cast a depressing light on the year-to-date performance of the US but economists are hopeful the pace of growth will pick up later this year.
On Thursday, data showed the down trend in weekly initial jobless claims has stalled, in contrast to recent upbeat signals about recovery in the labour market.
And the US Federal Reserve's policy choices to respond to any potential slowdown are being complicated by rising inflation at the wholesale level.
Producer or wholesale prices rose 0.7 per cent in March. Although this was below expectations of a 1 per cent gain, prices over the past year are now up 5.8 per cent, the Bureau of Labour Statistics reported.
During the week, economists lowered March-quarter GDP growth forecasts to as low as 1.4 per cent, well down from predictions of nearly 4 per cent as recently as two months ago.
Deutsche Asset Management's global chief economist, Josh Feinman, said while recent data had been mixed, the most likely scenario was for the US economy to still deliver above-pace growth this year of about 3.5 per cent.
Mr Feinman said, despite talk of a third round of asset purchases being necessary, the Fed would most likely end its $US600 billion second round of asset purchases in June as scheduled.
First-time jobless claims rose from 385,000 to 412,000 in the latest week, the Labour Department said, after unseasonally large end-of-quarter layoffs .

The purpose of including an executive summary in a marketing plan is to introduce the company and explain all the key elements of the plan in a shorter form. Anyone reading this summary will get a firm understanding of all aspects of the business; such a summary is perfect for those who aren't able to read the entire plan. It's always a good idea to prepare the executive summary last so all important details from the marketing plan can be included. Each section should be clearly marked in whichever order you think fits best with your company's mission and goals.
1. Describe all the different products and services your business offers. Write clearly and to the point. List each item and give a short description of how that product or service will be used in your business.
2. Describe how long you've been in business, as well as your annual sales figures, customers and any accomplishments you want people to know about. If this is a new business, describe the qualifications you have to run it successfully.
3. Introduce your business partners and management team and their respective qualifications.
4. Explain the structure of the business. List different departments and if there is or will be a board of directors.
5. List any professionals you'll be utilizing to support your operations, such as accountants or lawyers.
6. Describe your company's mission statement and objectives for the future.
7. Include a short statement about your company's main marketing objectives and tactics and how these will be carried out.
- Write clearly and concisely. Don't use extra words or adjectives.

[USA-SLOVENIA REPORT CARD] Soccer America's Ridge Mahoney grades the U.S. players after the USA's 2-2 tie with Slovenia
in Johannesburg on Friday.
Rating/Player (Club/Country) GP/G
7 Tim Howard (Everton/ENG) 53/0
Screened on first goal, no chance on second, saves proved to be critical as USA rallied.
6 Steve Cherundolo (Hannover 96/GER) 62/2
Played great ball to Landon Donovan to set up first goal, tackled tough, handled tough assignment against Andraz Kirm reasonably well.
5 Jay DeMerit (Watford/ENG) 21/0
Won most of his duels, caught flat-footed by Slovenian forwards twice.
4 Oguchi Onyewu (AC Milan/ITA) 56/5
Slow to react on first goal, lagged back to ruin offside trap on second. Starting positions on crosses weren't always effective.
5 Carlos Bocanegra (Rennes/FRA) 76/12
Didn't give up much on his side but could have been more aggressive to contest balls aimed at Milivoje Novakovic.
7 Landon Donovan (Los Angeles Galaxy)
Split roles as creator and finisher as situations demanded, worked and buzzed constantly, took tough chance from bad angle by ruthlessly roofing it.
4 Jose Francisco Torres (Pachuca/MEX) 11/0
Gave away a few passes, a step out of position at times, forced a good save by Samir Handanovic with a curling free kick.
6 Michael Bradley (Borussia M'Gladbach/GER) 45/8
Couldn't close down Valter Birsa on first Slovenian goal, caught upfield on second. Dangerous on several attacks, played great left-wing ball to Robbie Findley, popped up to score equalizer with excellent finish of tricky chance.
5 Clint Dempsey (Fulham/ENG) 64/19
Not quite sharp enough to threaten on the dribble, he used movement and aggression to unsettle Slovenia, which marked him tightly and fouled him often, including a drag-down that should have been a penalty.
7 Jozy Altidore (Hull/Eng) 27/9
Knockdown in tight tangle set up second goal, battled for every ball, drew fouls and free kicks, put shot on frame during goalmouth melee, victimized by odd refereeing decisions.
3 Robbie Findley (Real Salt Lake) 8/0
Used his speed effectively to threaten but touches at critical moments failed him. A bit too one-dimensional to trouble a very organized opponent.
Rating/Player (Club/Country) GP/G
6 Maurice Edu (Rangers/SCO) 14/1
Brought more bite and steel to midfield, one bad giveaway wasn't costly, moved to back line in final minutes, darted in to score apparent winner that was disallowed.
6 Benny Feilhaber (AGF Aarhus/DEN) 33/2
Floated in and out of left-wing spot, caused Slovenia a few problems by his confidence and activity, just missed with good ball for Bradley.
NR Herculez Gomez (Puebla/MEX) 5/2
Called for foul going for ball in final minutes of short stint.
(Ratings: 1=terrible; 5=average; 10=brilliant.)
How do you feel the U.S. players did against Slovenia? Agree with our ratings? Disagree? Let us know in the comments below.

The TRAF6 Binding Molecule p62/SQSTM1 Controls Inflammatory Bone Destruction in hTNFtg Mice.

Activation of NF-kappaB via RANK is essential in regulating osteoclastogenesis. This process is enhanced by pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNFalpha. P62/SQSTM1 directly modulates these pathways through complex formation with TRAF6, aPKCs and ubiquitin. However, the function of p62/SQSTM1 in regulating bone turnover under inflammatory conditions and specifically the role of the signal transduction domains of p62/SQSTM1 in this process is not known.
Mice carrying a mutant of p62 with functional ubiquitin- binding but defective signal transduction domains (p62aaD69251) were interbreed with arthritic hTNFtg mice. All resulting genotypes were scored for clinical parameters for 14 weeks. For quantification of inflammation, cartilage degradation and number of osteoclasts, joints of 14 wks old mice were stained with toluidin-blue and TRAP. To identify abnormalities in bone metabolism and bone structure high resolution micro-CT and Fluoride/FDG-PET analyses were performed. In addition, bone marrow derived monocytes (BMDMs) of wt and p62aaD69251 mice were isolated and osteoclastogenesis was studied using an established osteoclast formation assay. To investigate the underlying signalling pathways, cells were treated with TNFalpha and RANKL at different time points, and the activation of MAPKs was studied by Western Blot analysis.
Histology and in vivo PET/CT studies revealed an increase in bone metabolism and bone mass in the hind paws, knees and vertebrae of p62aaD69251 mice, but the number and size of osteoclasts of p62aaD69251 and wt animals showed only minor changes suggesting that under physiological conditions the lack of the signal transduction domains of p62 is compensated by regulatory mechanisms. Compared to wt cells, however, BMDMs of p62aaD69251 mice showed a significantly increased osteoclastogenesis, especially when stimulated with TNFalpha. Crossing of p62aaD69251 mice with hTNFtg animals resulted in a dramatic increase in the severity of joint damage in the hTNFtg/p62aaD69251/wt mice as determined clinically, by histomorphometry and PET/CT analysis. This was accompanied by an increase in the number and size of osteoclasts in vivo. During osteoclastogenesis, BMDMs from p62aaD69251 mice showed an enhanced TNFalpha- induced ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK phosphorylation compared to that of wt mice.
In summary, our data suggest that p62 plays a relevant role in regulating TNFalpha mediated joint damage. They indicate that the loss of the TRAF6 and aPKCs binding domains has essential consequences for osteoclastogenesis under inflammatory conditions.

Hi Ryan and thank you for the clarification! Now I just tried this: I made a new drscheme-file, choose the language "Module", saved it, and pasted the following into it: #lang scheme (require (planet dfriedman/miniKanren:1:1/minikanren)) (run #f (q) fail) the first two lines succeeded, but the third failed with this error: expand: unbound identifier in module in: fail the third line was taken from the file mktests.scm<http://kanren.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/kanren/kanren/mini/mktests.scm?revision=1.6&view=markup>which I think is designed to test a minikanren implementation. Therefor I think that that third line is valid minikanren-syntax and should run without errors.

When Hiring a Replacement Window Professional, points to Consider
With all the various selections property owners are confronting with the investment of substitute windows, the last point they need, is to make an inadequate choice choosing a substitute window company. In order to protect themselves from a purchase that might plague them for many years, residents, should educate themselves in the hiring of a specialist and take some precautionary actions to avoid making a mistake in their acquisition. Getting substitute windows can be a pleasant encounter when managing the best substitute window business. Below are four strongly suggested actions to assist in picking a window business.
Schedule a face to face, in home substitute window assessment with around 3 various replacement window firms which can be discovered online or a Yellow Page directory. Make certain that you do see all three. Don't succumb to the high pressure tactics and today just deals, lots of contractors will certainly try to persuade you to get immediately to get this large amount, do to some type of promo or supplier deadline.
Ask the window siding and eavestrough Toronto to see a duplicate of their domestic home builders certificate, remove the number and utilize it to validate with your state licensing and rules that the professional is certified. In some states any person or firm executing work in the quantity of $600.00 or additional is required to be licensed. The state you stay in licensing and requirements will additionally have the ability to let you understand how long the company has actually been in business and if there have been any sort of actions against the permit.
Several contractors often overdo the length of time they have beened around, so this is a fantastic method to validate their integrity.Ask the window service provider to see a copy of their household home builders permit, take down the number and wear it to verify through your state licensing and requirements that the specialist is certified. A lot of specialists have a tendency to exaggerate the length of time they have actually been in business opportunity, so this is a great means to confirm their integrity.
Ask the specialists what kind of insurance they carry and see to it you get proof of their insurance coverage. Constantly demand that the contractor you select have a certification of insurance policy delivered to you directly from their broker calling you, the home owner, as a certificate owner. Your professional will certainly need to call their representative and the broker will post proof of insurance directly to your residence. This will make sure that they have "basic Responsibility" normally a $1,000,000.00 in insurance coverage and a "workers Compensation" plan covering the workmen in case of any sort of injury.Ask the contractors what kind of insurance they hold and make sure you obtain evidence of their insurance plan. Always demand that the service provider you choose have a certification of insurance coverage sent out to you directly from their broker calling you, the house owner, as a certification owner.
Always inspect your regional Better Business Agency for any grievances. The Michigan Better Company Agency can be found on the web at www.bbb.org. The BBB keeps complaints on record for 3 years, and you could be surprised at the quantity of complaints some substitute window business have (some more than Fifty Percent). Firms with numerous issues ought to be prevented even if the complaints have actually been satisfied.
With all the different selections property owners are encountering with the investment of replacement windows, the persist thing they require, is to make a bad choice picking a replacement window company. Getting replacement windows can be a pleasurable encounter when dealing with the best substitute window company. Schedule a face to face, in home substitute window assessment with up to 3 various replacement window business which could be located on the web or a Yellow Page directory site.
